 What's going on everyone JJ Zacharias in here hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and stuffed your faces as I did but it's Sunday now you know we had some football on Thursday that means is there's probably going to be fewer start sick questions today because more games happened earlier this week but we still have a ton of them I will get through them as quickly as possible some of the things that I think are still sort of outstanding so everything you know you have to take everything I say to right now with a grain of salt but Elijah Mitchell we don't know officially if he's going to play or not it sounds like he's trending towards playing Aaron Jones seems like more 50-50 where there's some report saying that you know he's not going to play there's some report saying that he's going to try my general take on Aaron Jones because this is going to you know this is going to be applicable to a lot of the questions that have been asked I already saw some questions regarding AJ Dillon and Aaron Jones with Aaron Jones I'm sort of seeing this as you know AJ Dillon obviously has a pretty big ceiling if Aaron Jones doesn't go but I'm also seeing this as if Aaron Jones does go I'm not expecting a normal workload I would sort of expect AJ Dillon to play the Aaron Jones role if that makes sense if Aaron Jones does play then if he doesn't play you know AJ Dillon last time we saw them the Packers he had a very good backfield share numbers he just didn't have a very monster game because they did so much through the arrogance Minnesota so you know right now I'm viewing AJ Dillon as probably going to be the starter and I would lean towards Aaron Jones being inactive because they have a buy next week I think it's logical to think that but anything can happen so I'll go through these start sick questions and sort of talk through my logic with that with that being a late afternoon game we're going to start with Brian Porter full PBR need a running back to I start Miles Sanders a 1pm game or wait until the 4pm window for the Aaron Jones decision which Juventay Williams is the backup if Jones is inactive is a really great question I think that that Aaron Jones you know given these other options with Juventay Williams and Miles Sanders I think that even if Aaron Jones were to play I would prefer Miles Sanders in particular over Aaron Jones with Jordan Howard being inactive so I'm just going to go with Miles Sanders here straight up you know if if we knew that Aaron Jones was playing you know obviously the fact that he's a game time decision makes me think that he's not going to see a normal workload and so because of that I'm just going to go with Miles Sanders full PBR looking for a flex do I start Claypool Mike Williams Gaskin or Fryermuth I think this is between Gaskin and probably Claypool I'm going to go with Gaskin though just because of the guaranteed volume in the backfield I know that they got Philip Lindsey but I don't know how much work he's going to see I don't even know if he's active to be honest I didn't check but I'm going to go with with Miles Gaskin there non-PBR flex from Jeff Wilson Miles Sanders Cordero Patterson I'm probably going to go with Miles Sanders here that might not be a popular opinion because I think with Cordero Patterson active a lot of people are probably thinking go with Cordero Patterson I'm just a little bit worried about his workload and what that's going to look like whereas Miles Sanders with no Jordan Howard I feel pretty good about Jeff Wilson I don't think you can start given the fact that these other guys are playing a 1pm and it sounds like Elijah Mitchell is probably going to play I'm actually going to go through these start sits with the idea that Mitchell is going to play so I'm not playing Jeff Wilson this week if Mitchell is active so I'm going to go with Miles Sanders there Russell Wilson or Aaron Rodgers let's lean Aaron Rodgers there just because Russ hasn't shown us given us any any indication that he's going to score some fantasy points even though it's a great matchup pick one and a half PBR flex from Andre Stevenson Rashad Bateman or Eli Mitchell so like this is another situation where you know you you fortunately have three tiers of start times where Stevenson plays early Bateman's the late game the Sunday night game and then Elijah Mitchell's in the middle so what I would do is if Elijah Mitchell is active I would play Elijah Mitchell if he's inactive you have a backup plan with Rashad Bateman make sure that Elijah Mitchell is in your flex spot and not in your RB one or RB two spot next question start to a non PPR Elijah Mitchell Devonte Williams or Devonte Smith again I would just probably wait until actually you can't wait you said start to I'd go Devonte Smith then for sure if Elijah Mitchell goes I'd play Mitchell over Javante if he doesn't go Javante happy VR play remandry at 1 p.m. or hedge that Aaron Jones sits and roll with AJ Dillon at 425 yeah look I mean like like even if Aaron Jones plays I don't think remandry Stevenson is like that much better of a play if at all then then AJ Dillon like in a normal Aaron Jones is a hundred percent healthy sort of situation I mean they're both part-time players in their backfield I should say they're both split they're in a split backfield so I would still go with AJ Dillon regardless regardless of the Aaron Jones situation I'm going AJ Dillon over remandry Stevenson Van Jefferson or Rashad Bateman in half PPR I'm gonna go with I'm gonna lean Bateman but I don't clearly don't say that very confidently I love Van Jefferson's peripherals a lot but I'm gonna go with Bateman I uke or Bateman I'm gonna go with I uke and then Tennessee Miami the Chargers or Jacksonville defense let's go with the Chargers there full PPR Meyer Jacoby Myers or Ty Johnson in full PPR I'm going Jacoby Myers PPR Flex Patterson DJ Moore Lockett Antonio Gibson Jerry Judy need floor I mean if you need a floor then I'd probably say Judy is your play but I I might just go with Lockett I think Lockett's the best play of that group let's go with Lockett would you play Jeff Wilson even if Mitchell is active I would not other options or Sony Michelle and AJ Dillon I would absolutely play AJ Dillon over Jeff Wilson Cam Newton or Joe Burrow this week I'm not as high on Cam as others are but I'm gonna go with Cam there Cordero Patterson or Miles Sanders in full PPR I'm going Miles Sanders I think it's pretty close in full PPR the one earlier was a standard league was a lot easier to go with Miles Sanders there sit one and half PPR Tyler Boyd Van Jefferson Rashad Bateman Tyler Boyd is a very very good slot matchup against Pittsburgh I'd probably still sit him but it's it's it's tough I really like Van Jefferson and Bateman I'd probably sit Boyd even though I love his slot matchup he usually does pretty well against the Steelers looking for ceiling one and a half times defensive scoring plus yardage bonuses dolphin Steelers or Jags defense I think you got to go with the Steelers if you're looking for for ceiling just because we know the Steelers defense can can generate a lot of pressure happy PR pick to Dylan Bateman Aaron Jones I will go with Dylan and honestly I mean this is so I'm going with Dylan over Aaron Jones and then I would probably just play Bateman over Jones then to do not have the entire Packers backfield PPR wide receiver pick to lock it Elijah Moore Devonte Smith I will go with lock it and Smith I just you know new quarterback under center for the Jets well not new but he hasn't played a while don't love that situation that much as a result of that you know Elijah Moore is a beast I think that he's a bye talked about in my podcast this week I love Elijah Moore great talent but I'm gonna go with Devonte Smith and Tyler Lockett I think they're both in decent enough spots and they're both very good as well need three of these wide receivers and half PPR Pipman Elijah Moore T Higgins Hollywood Browner Claypool I have some trepidation about Hollywood's injury I'd still play Hollywood I think and then you're definitely playing Pitman I love Pitman this week then I'd probably play Claypool as the last one but I think you can make the argument for more start Miles Sanders in the early game or AJ Dylan in the afternoon game already talked about that one Ramon Dre or DJ Dallas and half PPR I'm going Ramon Dre still I just don't trust the Seattle backfield Gisicki Goddard or Deontae Foreman in PPR let's go with Goddard there Gronk or Dan aren't Dan Arnold you know what with the Gisicki one I'm very close to saying Gisicki because Caroline has been beatable with tight ends but I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna stick with Goddard his target shares have just been absolutely insane Gronk or Dan Arnold and half PPR I'm going Gronk full PPR Devonte to stack with Hertz or Judy a wide receiver if Aaron Jones plays pick one pivot Elijah Mitchell Judy Jamonte or stick with AJ Dylan okay so there's a lot a lot to unpack here I will go with Devonte over Judy I think that's close though I think if you need more of a floor Judy's fine so I don't really have a strong opinion there if Aaron Jones plays I would probably in assuming Elijah Mitchell's playing I'd probably go with Eli Mitchell assuming that Aaron Jones is playing if he's not playing I'm going to go with AJ Dylan need three out of these four and half PPR Kenan Allen Mike Williams Jalen Waddle or Jerry Judy my goodness you're definitely playing Kenan Allen I mean I think because you're playing Kenan Allen you can just go with Waddle and Judy if you want to over Mike Williams I'd probably go that direction Cam Newton or Russell Wilson this one I might risk and go Russ but I think it's close I think they're like in the same tier this week Cordell Patterson Remandry Stevenson or Ty Johnson let's go with Cordell Patterson PPR need a wide receiver and two flecks Elijah Moore Cortland Sutton Miles Sanders Antonio Gibson Devonte Freeman okay so you need two flecks and a wide receiver the wide receiver I would say is Elijah Moore so we're going with him and then I'd go with Miles Sanders and Antonio Gibson as my two flex spots half PPR Stevenson Foreman or Westbrook Akiné in the flex let's go with Foreman you know it sounds like Foreman's probably gonna see a lot of work on the ground I don't love the matchup I think between him and Hilliard and PPR and a half PPR even I actually prefer Hilliard this week because he's going to see that Jeremy McNichol's role he's going to see a lot of volume through the air and they're obviously the pass catchers that are banged up but I'm going to go I'm going to go with Foreman there standard flecks from Ty Johnson Jeff Wilson Miles Sanders Cordell Patterson let's go with Miles Sanders I apparently like Miles Sanders a good bit today cam over Cousins or Jimmy G uh yeah I think that's okay um yeah I think that's fine uh maybe Cousins I think that's fine uh Eagles or the Texans defense today uh let's go with the Eagles defense picked two from Patterson Lockett and Elijah Mitchell and full PPR uh I am going to go with probably Patterson and Lockett because we don't know if Elijah Mitchell is gonna play it's full PPR I'd play Lockett over Elijah Mitchell to begin with Jimmy G or Taylor Heineke I love Jimmy G this week I'm going to go with Jimmy G uh half PPR pick one running back and one wide receiver and one flex by the way I'm going to go back to the Cousins over Cam I'm going to say Cousins over Cam uh instead of instead of playing uh Cam I'm going to go Cousins half PPR pick one running back one wide receiver and one flex Brandon IU chase Clay Pultee Higgins Givante Williams Miles Sanders AJ Dillon it's very tough when there are so many players that you guys are asking um so one running back let's go with Miles Sanders as the running back one wide receiver let's go with let's go with Chase Clay Pulte as the wide receiver I'm saying that a little bit worried about Brandon IU because if Elijah Mitchell plays we might not see Debo Samuel in the backfield as much which means Debo Samuel is going to play more of a traditional wide receiver role and that could limit Brandon IU to some degree so I'm going to go with Clay Pulte let's go with the ceiling a little bit more there and then for the flex let's uh let's say if Aaron Jones let's go with AJ Dillon regardless in the flex yeah that makes sense Cordero Patterson or Melvin Gordon half PPR uh and yes I have MDP uh and three leagues somehow uh I am going to go with Cordero Patterson uh wide receiver and flex uh Waddle Cordero Gibson Mitchell or Sanders uh let's go can you play Cordero at wide receiver um because I might do that and then play Sanders but let's go with Waddle instead if you need to actually play I'm assuming that's the case because you wouldn't ask me wide receiver and flex if Cordero Patterson couldn't play in the wide wide receiver so let's go Patterson and Sanders there half PPR sit one Burkhead Foreman or Stevenson let's sit Burkhead half PPR that's not a question PPR flex Friar Muth Ty Johnson Damian Harris Chanalt thanks JJ I would probably go with in a full PPR league I might go with Friar Muth the way that they're utilizing him I'd go with him over Chanalt defense of stash next week Colts at the Texans or Eagles at the Jets let's go with the Colts uh James Robinson or Darryl Henderson and half PPR let's go with let's go with Henderson I say that I think it's pretty close by the way right now is the time of year if Sony Michelle is on your waiver wire even if like Ronald Jones is on your waiver wire those are the kinds of guys you just want to throw on your bench to see if their starter gets hurt so right now I have Sony Michelle on so many on so many teams uh because if Darryl Henderson goes down then all of a sudden you have a potential RB one and Sony Michelle start one and non-PPR Stevenson Elijah Mitchell or Terry McLauren I'm also starting Debo but need a floor if you need a floor I think that Elijah Mitchell is probably fine in a non-PPR format I'd probably lean his way I think McLauren is is pretty close though so if you want to go with McLauren that's fine I don't think Stevenson is really part of this discussion half PPR start two at least one running back Claypole Devontae Smith Elijah Mitchell Devontae Williams let's go Elijah Mitchell if he plays if he doesn't go Devontae obviously and then I'm going to go with I'm going to go Devontae Smith over Chase Claypole Devontae Smith Marquise Brown or Elijah Mitchell sounds like Brown's going to play I'm going to go Brown there uh full PPR if Aaron Jones is active would you start Kareem Hunt over AJ Dillon I'd probably go with AJ Dillon I mean similar situation except AJ Dillon is not coming off that injury should we have full confidence and score Darryl this week full no uh some sure uh if Aaron Jones plays do you prefer him or AJ Dillon I already talked about that I'm going AJ Dillon JJ love the pod full PPR uh 12 team I need one tight end one flex Nick Chubb uh Devontae William you're playing Nick Chubb uh that's that's your your flex uh and then you need a tight end out of this group you're going to play Pat Fryermuth because he's the only tight end that's oh no Goddard's listed there I'm going to go Fryermuth over Goddard this week uh just without Eric Ibron I think Fryermuth is an incredible um fantasy play from here on out you can understand if you want to go Goddard I think it's pretty close because he's seeing such a great target share but I trust that the Steelers are going to throw the ball a little bit more than Philadelphia today so you're going Chubb for sure and then I'd probably go Fryermuth uh happy PR need upside Alex Collins Tevin Coleman or drop one of them for Rex Burkhead um let's go with Alex Collins there um I mean I don't say I you know you say need upside and I'm saying Alex Collins because there's a chance that you know Seattle's offense is I trust Seattle's offense more than the other offense is listed here and he could find the end zone a couple times so let's go with Alex Collins if Aaron Jones plays Dylan Collins or Devonte Freeman let's still go with Dylan can I trust Russ or should I start Tua Matt Ryan or Mack let's go with Russ full PBR one flex Eli Mitchell Mike Williams or Pat Fryermuth um let's go with Mike Williams there uh and then or let's go with Eli Mitchell there and then you can play Mike Williams if Eli doesn't go uh Iuke or Brandon Cooks I kind of want to go Brandon Cooks there for the reasons I talked about earlier I do think Elijah Mitchell is going to play uh and that could really force Debo Samuel play the more traditional wide receiver role lower I use target share a little bit let's go Brandon Cooks I think he's a pretty good play this week full PPR Javante or Elijah Mitchell let's go Eli and then if he doesn't go go to uh Javante Iuke or Elijah Moore I'm going Iuke with the quarterback situation McKessick or Freeman in half PPR thanks love the pod I'd probably go Freeman uh AJ Dylan or David Johnson I'm going AJ Dylan Dallas Goddard or Mike Kosicki I think I answered this one earlier I'm going Goddard but it's very very close uh pick one and a half PPR MvS Alex Collins Gronkowski or Russell Gage I kind of want to go with Gronk I think it's between Gronk and MvS but I'm going to go with Gronk because of the touchdown potential let me get a sip of tea real quick uh what's up JJ Eli Mitchell or Javante Williams just answered that one I said Eli Van Jefferson or Javante Smith and full PPR I'm going Javante Smith if active is Aaron Jones worth it over Javante Javante Smith or Chinalt I'm not I would not play him over those guys I don't think I think that you can make the argument for Chinalt but you're not going to have that information so you know it's not it's kind of moot uh the only the only player where you're going to not have that information or that you're going to have the Aaron Jones information for of this group is Javante but I would still play Javante over Aaron Jones because I don't think that Aaron Jones is going to see this massive massive workload I would be surprised if he does uh pick two Ty Johnson Ramandre Marvin Jones um I think this depends if it's a PPR league or not if it's a PPR format I'd go with Ty Johnson and Marvin Jones uh next one Jimmy G or Ty Rod Taylor sorry Tyrod Taylor I'm going to go with Jimmy G over Tyrod this week uh Russell Wilson Kirk Cousins or Joe Burrow let's go with Kirk uh Rogers or Cousins I think you can go with Kirk I like the game environment a little bit more you know he doesn't have that injury with his toe let's go with Cousins uh hi JJ if Aaron Jones plays which two would you start between Dylan Mitchell Van Jefferson McKissick I'm going with the first two uh Dylan Marvin Jones or Ramandre I'm going with the first two Bateman or Mike Williams in PPR thanks I am going with Mike Williams uh Wentz or Tyrod sorry Tyrod I keep saying that I'm going to go with Wentz JJ you're the man thanks Brian can we trust Jeff Wilson today probably not I would go JD McKissick if the Elijah Mitchell plays uh Flex obviously if Elijah Mitchell doesn't play then you know go with uh go with Jeff Wilson Flex MVS Jacoby Myers or Jeff Wilson um it's a PPR format probably Jacoby Myers if not uh if you want a little bit more upside you can go with MVS uh but you can only play Jeff Wilson if Elijah Mitchell uh you know is officially out I don't think that's going to happen Elijah Mitchell or Daryl Henderson in PPR let's go Daryl Henderson full PPR pick two OBJ Rashad Bateman Marvin Jones Brandon IUke I'm going to go Bateman and IUke uh start in half PPR DJ Moore Michael Pittman T Higgins Givante Williams start two I think I answered this one earlier I think maybe I didn't uh Michael Pittman and DJ Moore uh JJ will you adopt me no I will not uh also how do you feel about playing multiple wide receivers from the same team versus playing the higher scoring T above okay let's let's just move on from that question I can't I can only answer star sick questions on this show because it's just too much thinking to start talking strategy and stuff so hit me up on Twitter at late round QB and I can talk about that uh half PPR need one wide receiver and one flex Terry McLauren Jaylen Waddle or Miles Sanders um I'm going to sit Waddle I think of that group uh would you start Aaron Jones over them if if he plays no I would not hey JJ I have a lineup dilemma if Aaron Jones doesn't play today should I drop Jerry Judy allowing me to play a kicker or defense or drop one of those for a running back so I can hold Judy um I don't really understand this question but I would not be dropping Jerry Judy if that helps uh next question Devonte or Gaskin in half PPR I'm going Gaskin start one and half PPR Evan Ingram Gerald Everett Tyler Conklin let's go with Evan Ingram I actually like Evan Ingram today with no Kaderious Tony no Sterling Shepard and the best matchup uh for tight ends uh in fantasy football uh Freeman or Givante Williams let's go Givante Williams Karim coming off IR or Dylan with Aaron Jones back I mean look we don't know if Aaron Jones is back but I would probably still go with AJ Dylan over Karim Hunt uh Elijah Givante or Miles Sanders this week let's go with Miles Sanders Russell Wilson or Kirk Cousins I'm going Kirk Cousins uh Givante Williams or Bateman uh let's go with I love Givante's matchup let's go Givante there OBJ Karim Ty Johnson or Givante for upside let's go Givante again half PPR Givante or Mike Williams let's half PPR I mean I if you need ceiling go Mike Williams you need more of a floor because Givante's got guaranteed volume I'd go Givante um top two in PPR Boyd LaVisca Gholaday this one's really tough I'd probably play Boyd I'd probably play Boyd in Gholaday I hate Gholaday's matchup I hate Gholaday's situation I mean if you want to go LaVisca I think LaVisca has a higher floor but I think Gholaday has the best ceiling of all these guys but I'm going to play Tyler Boyd in a good slot matchup against the Steelers uh Rogers or Stafford Eileen Rogers I think uh rest of season Dontrell Hilliard or DJ Dallas I'm going to go Dontrell Hilliard uh pick three in standard AJ Dillon Aaron Jones Miles Sanders Elijah Mitchell uh let's go with Miles Sanders to lock that in so you don't have to deal with the you know like what happens if Elijah Mitchell doesn't play then you have to all of a sudden play two Green Bay Running Max let's go with Miles Sanders let's go with AJ Dillon if Aaron Jones is out and let's go with Elijah Mitchell if Aaron Jones is in PPR Damian Harris or Jeff Wilson with Mitchell back uh I'd go Damian Harris even though I don't love them today David Johnson or Ty Johnson pick one let's go Ty Johnson full PPR pick two Alex Collins Aaron Jones Dontrell Hilliard David Johnson um so you have I would just go with Collins and oh man this one's actually this is the toughest one I've gotten all day uh I'm gonna go with Hilliard and Collins because I don't I don't trust Aaron Jones seeing a lot of work uh Hunter Henry or Dan Arnold uh let's go with Dan Arnold uh to Rod Taylor or Jimmy G and full PPR as if they're going out and catching passes uh I'm gonna go with Jimmy G there uh Cam over Stafford with the pain management news yes um I mean that's fine if you want to do that sure yeah I saw that report from uh from ESPN uh PPR pick two of three Elijah Mitchell Judy and Devontae Smith um I would go Devontae Smith to lock that in uh and then see what happens with the Elijah Mitchell news and then go Elijah Mitchell over Judy but if he doesn't play go Judy half PPR Elijah Mitchell or Elijah Moore um I'd probably risk it with Elijah Mitchell I think uh David Johnson or if you want more of a floor though obviously Elijah Moore is a lot safer uh David Johnson or Damian Harris pick one I'm going Damian Harris uh Dylan or Miles Sanders I think you got to go with Miles Sanders at this point lock it or Elijah Moore in full PPR I'm going lock it full PPR pick two Mike Williams Devontae Smith Rashad Bateman let's go with the first two uh need two in PPR slash Titan premium I love Titan premium questions Stevenson Harris Dallas uh Collins and Arnold um let's go with Arnold as one and let's go with uh let's go with Harris as the other uh Russ or Rogers I'm going Rogers uh Elijah Mitchell or Antonio Gibson uh assuming Elijah Mitchell plays let's go let's go Mitchell uh Cam Newton or Russell Wilson I think you can go Russ but Cam is probably a little bit safer just giving the way that Russ has played uh half PPR Elijah Moore Higgins Lockett Odell Judy pick two thanks JJ uh I don't know what Moore is being oh Elijah Moore my bad I am I am tired after a long trip yesterday uh Elijah Moore Higgins Lockett Odell Judy okay uh if you're starting you need two I'm going with Lockett and let's go with Judy as the other one um Terry McLauren or Devontae Smith let's go Terry McLauren DJ Moore or Elijah Moore I'm going DJ Moore uh Kareem Hunt uh I mean depends on who you'd be playing him over love the show hope and pray for Logan Thomas or Evan Ingram go with Evan Ingram he's a good matchup Miles Sanders or Elijah Mitchell this week in full PPR I'm going Miles Sanders I love Miles Sanders today apparently don't at me if he has a bad game half PPR Rashad Bateman or Ty Johnson I'm going to go Rashad Bateman slight underdog half PPR need one of Deontae Foreman Nick Westbrook Akinae Levisco-Shanold or Kenny Galladay um I think Foreman is the safest play of that group but I think if you need more of a ceiling Kenny Galladay is the play and I think sort of in the middle is probably Levisco-Shanold uh pick two from Devontae Smith Patterson Miles Sanders AJ Dillon or Don Trail Hilliard this is tough because you have decent enough options to play over Dillon I would lock in Miles Sanders and I'd probably play Cordero Patterson yeah I think that's the direction I'd go in a non-PPR league but obviously if we knew that Aaron Jones wasn't going to play I would easily say AJ Dillon of that group so if you need that ceiling go with AJ Dillon uh Lockett or Elijah Moore I'm going Lockett non-PPR pick two Devontae Melvin Gordon or Miles Sanders I'm going to go with Miles Sanders and I guess Melvin Gordon just because he's been I mean he's outscored him he's done better than Devontae Ayuk or Lockett let's go Lockett Stafford with reports he's banged up or Jimmy G I'd still go with Stafford pick one full PPR Jones Stevenson Foreman or Jeff Wilson I will go with I don't know what Jones this is referring to so I'm going to skip this one have C.D. and Tyreek is out this week I have Gibson and Patterson in my running back slots and lock in Judean wide receiver spots would you put Bateman or Harris in the Flex or would you change anything else I mean I don't know who else is on your roster but I would go with Bateman over Harris I think as long as I don't know if this says that I don't think it says it's a full PPR league I'm assuming PPR so I'm going to go with Bateman Galladay or Hilliard and half PPR I'd probably go with Galladay Miles Sanders or Elijah Mitchell this week in full PPR let's go with Miles Sanders Wenz or Newton I'd probably lean Newton but I don't mind Carson Wenz today Dillon or Gibson you'll have Aaron Jones information by then fortunately I so I would probably just play Gibson you know if Aaron Jones plays and if he doesn't go with AJ Dillon I'm stuck on Tyler Lockett or Elijah Moore Lockett has a great match up but Moore has Corey out I can't decide yeah but Tyler Lockett also has Russell Wilson so I'm going to go with Tyler Lockett there I need two and a half point Burkehead Gage Fryermuth Cocklin I'll go with Gage and Fryermuth there salary considered for Fandall CMC or Dillon I mean it's really tough to answer that because we don't know the Aaron Jones situation you know if you have an ability to pivot then I would just go I think Dillon's a better value probably but it's pretty close I mean they're both top tier values this week in plays quarter PPR pick two Elijah Moore Remandry Stevenson Rashad Bateman let's bench the running back there Devonte Freeman or Givante Williams let's go Givante very slightly Russell Wilson or Kirk Cousins I'm going Cousins which patch running back probably Damien Harris still both of them over Karim yep yeah I'd probably say both of them over Karim Hunt PPR McKissick or Alex Collins I'm going to go with McKissick but if you need more upside by the time that game hits you can just go with Alex Collins because I think that he does have a little bit more upside non-PPR wide receiver two needed MBS Van Jefferson or Crowder let's go with van Bateman or Ghassiki in full PPR probably Lean Ghassiki there I just like the match up a good bit it's really really close though half PPR flex Hillier Givante Bateman or Coleman let's go Givante Tyler Lockett or Elijah Moore I'm going Tyler Lockett that one is a very common question that people are asking full PPR pick one hopefully some people go with Elijah Moore to sort of hedge a little bit with me saying lock it over and over again full PPR pick one Mike Williams Rashad Bateman or Aaron Jones let's go with Mike Williams there half PPR flex AJ Dillon or Brandon Cooks I think Brandon Cooks is a good enough play but I mean if you need ceiling it's absolutely AJ Dillon if you need more of a floor I think Brandon Cooks is a good enough play to play over AJ Dillon that's a really tough one though Rogers or Stafford I'm leaning Rogers deeply PPR Kendrick Borner Nick Westbrook Akinae I'm going Kendrick Borne he was actually a sleeper on my sleeper show this week where I talk about guys sort of in that range so if you guys aren't subscribed check out the late round podcast Chinot or Tyler Boyd let's go with Tyler Boyd in that slot matchup half PPR Ayukar Elijah Mitchell I'd go Elijah Mitchell Hilliard or Jacoby Myers in full PPR I'm going Jacoby Myers Brady or Rogers you're playing Brady Brady's in a great spot pick two half PPR Bateman Gholaday Javante or Cooks let's go with Javante and Cooks I need to start two and a half PPR Miles Sanders Cordero Chase Clay Pallagia Dillon thanks for everything I would go with Miles and Cordero I think I answered this one earlier half PPR Superflex Rashad Bateman or Ty Johnson I would go with Rashad Bateman Jimmy G or Teddy I'm going Jimmy G PPR rank Gronk Ingram Higby probably in that order given the the matchup for Ingram rest of season Emmanuel Sanders or Rashad Bateman probably Rashad Bateman thanks for tuning in two wide receivers and PPR Mike Williams Davante Smith Judy Bateman or Elijah Moore need more upside let's go with let's man this is really tough I think I'm going to go with Davante Smith and Mike Williams but you could make an argument for Judy for sure I don't think Bateman's in this conversation and Elijah Moore just the quarterback situation just turns me off a little bit so I'm not going to go that direction but you know he's shown that he has great upside I love Elijah Moore and clearly you listen to the podcast and you know that because you said thanks for tuning in so I'm going to go with Mike Williams and Davante Seyquan or McLauren I'm going Seyquan T Higgins or Hilliard I'm going T Higgins Westbrook Aquinae or Russell Gage or Marquez Callaway already played I'm going to go with Westbrook Aquina or no sorry I'm going to go with Russell Gage there 0.5 PPR wide receiver 2 DJ Moore or Jerry Judy I'm going to lean DJ Moore hey JJ half PPR Odell or Jacoby Myers I'd probably play with Jacoby Myers for floor but Odell obviously has a better ceiling than Myers he's only scored one career touchdown. Miles Sanders or Elijah Moore this week, Elijah Mitchell this week rather I'm going to go with Miles Sanders half PPR pick two Lockett Claypool Elijah Moore I'm going to go with the first two PPR Myers Elijah Moore or Claypool I will go with Claypool there flex play half PPR Javante or Claypool I think Javante floor Claypool ceiling does it change if you could start one no it wouldn't change hey JJ half PPR Odell or Jacoby Myers I think Jacoby Myers is still to play I have like 20 seconds left and then I got to hand this thing off to Jess and Ryan hey JJ half PPR Odell or Jacoby Myers I just answered that one Kittle or Javante Williams we're going to lean Kittle there Baker or Odell or Deontay Foreman in super flex pick one I'd still go with Baker Rex Burkhead or Alex Collins I'm going to go with Alex Collins I think he has a little bit more upside Aaron Jones Mike Williams Javante and half PPR pick two I'm going to bench Aaron Jones there half PPR pick two DeMonte Smith Chase Claypool Brandon I you Grisha Bateman I'm going to go with the first two and that's going to do it for me it's 1230 that's the last question I can answer today if you guys have more questions which

Thanksgiving as well please chime in on that we want to make sure you had a happy holiday but just let us know what you're kind of seeing overall with the week 12 betting slate yeah definitely uh it's I had a great Thanksgiving by the way thank you um I'm still feel like I'm recovering a lot of family in town so it's like it goes it's like feels like it's just more than one day for sure uh yes but I'm finally ready to just relax and watch some football uh yeah as far as uh and with Thanksgiving betting I had a pretty good day on there uh and then I did yeah I did and I picked just a few games today just because uh you know I can't bet on every game otherwise this is you know too much for me but uh one of the games I do like on the early slate is that Texans game versus the Jets at minus two and a half I still believe but it still is at I'm I like the Texans in this matchup because the best thing is their defense has actually really shown up the past couple weeks especially the last two games they've had six interceptions two they've only allowed two touchdown passes and that was against the Titans and the Dolphins they sacked Hanna Hill twice per set four times and their secondary is really what's you know been amazing here they're ranked six in the league right now uh and then you have Tyrod Taylor when he plays a full game they're almost averaging 22.7 points and he's also using his legs which is incredible to see too and but when you look at their stats yeah overall they're in the bottom 30s but you have to remember that was with Mills playing a lot of the game a lot of the games then you have the Jets where it's the Jets you know they're one of the worst against the spread actually in the NFL this season they're only covering 20 percent of their games they're clearly having quarterback issues yes I know Zach Wilson is back to starting but you know they were really heavily on the fact of he's only going to come back when he's 100 percent but obviously there were COVID issues with the other two quarterbacks so is he really 100% he's still I feel like he's gonna have rookie mistakes in this matchup and even though he's having four weeks off I just feel like it's um gonna be a tough game for him overall and then you just look at their defense the Jets defense they're dead last all over the place so I feel like Tyrod Taylor will be able to shred this defense and they're gonna be able to put points on the board yeah I absolutely love this big Jessica you're looking at two and a half and it it might feel a little bit juiced at where it's coming at when you're talking about the the state of these two teams and and who they have been but love the defense of stat that you're talking about here with with the Texans and I think I saw something over the past two games that they you know have had like 10 turnovers forced or some crazy statistical number like that so absolutely playing in this team is really rallying behind Tyrod or Tyrod or however you want to say his name uh he has been absolutely um great for this offense stellar when you consider you know what they dealt with going into the season and drafting Davis Mills he's not looking good so I do like getting getting a lean on that uh under a field goal there at home against the Jets who have struggled to get anything going it's quarterback roulette there um in in New York and they're gonna be missing one of their key pieces in Corey Davis too right so I know Elijah Moore that's JJ's guy he's been beating the drum for him for months and months and months he's been explosive um we'll see what Jameson Crowder could do but they don't have uh their stud Michael Carter as well in the backfield it'll be at the Ty Johnson show we think um so very interesting bets that you can place here as well on the fan bowl sportsbook for any time touchdown I do like the Tyrod um plus 240 to score any time touchdown you have said that he's using his legs a lot and they get in that red zone um they just released Phillip Lindsay so you're looking at Rex Burkhead and David Johnson just being back there that's an interesting play um in the early slate we also have um another fun one in the early slate I think they they've removed the line there's a lot that's been going on here with Tampa Bay and the colts um I know that the the total on that line has been moving a ton um since it opened I believe it opened at maybe 51 I saw it get bet up to 52 and a half 53 in some places what's your what's your read on Tampa Bay as they have kind of gotten going late and this is a game for the the colts that they you know could use for the division as well yeah this one's a tough one for me um I but if I'd have to make a play on it I kind of like the colts to be honest um with the three and a half uh just looking at them they've scored 33 and a half points per game in the last six weeks and they're putting themselves but actually in playoff contention which is great you know uh Carson Wentz is uh playing when he plays smart he's playing extremely well but you know you know who the star of the show is when it comes to the colts offense Jonathan Taylor and here they are uh placing you know playing going up against the Bucks defense and but a little interesting fact is fact is Tampa Bay the three losses they've had so far this season are actually all on the road and here they are heading into indie and so this is like something to consider and you course you have Brady who you know he's leading the NFL with 29 touchdown passes at the age 44 um but the the Bucks they tend to dominate at home and they show signs of struggling on the road like I had mentioned and but the big thing though to looking at the Bucks is they have vita vea back and I believe you should be starting right huge yeah so this is like a big you know a big deal with their defense this is going to be a big you know opportunity are they going to be able to shut down Jonathan Taylor are they going to be able to keep him from coming out and having an explosive game uh Jonathan Taylor he's averaging 157.7 yards rushing in the last three games and uh he's just he's just a threat all across the board and then you know all you just rely on Carson Wentz to just play smart don't make those silly mistakes and you know they can be extremely successful but the Bucks you know they're they're still coming in and they're not you know they solidly did to the Giants but you know you have to remember it's the Giants so as much as they look hot after they're by yes but that's why I kind of like the Colts in this matchup but this is probably a stay away game for me but I like the Colts yeah I hear you it's it's going to be a fun one I think that's an interesting one yes from a fan perspective to watch you got Tom Brady going back to Indy I believe that is where the flake gate was birth I saw a lot of people talking about that on twitter that you know the narrative Tom Brady going back he could want to you know really show out and and again they they had kind of been reeling and like you said the Giants win I mean while it was a win and they needed that um to you know kind of write the ship after those two losses they have to go out and prove that they can still you know beat these teams who are you know at the top of the NFL pedigree so I look for them to come out and definitely show out so this will be a fun one if Carson Wentz can like you said keep control the ball not make those mistakes or make minimal mistakes and keep into that game we should have a lot of fireworks going on there in uh in Indy with the Tampa Bay game um some interesting other ones that I wanted to touch on in the early slate as well I see you got that Dolphins helmet in the back there and and Carolina's kind of been an interesting team as of late with Cam Newton coming back into the fold or returning uh to his team to his stomping grounds and getting into the fold uh Christian McCaffrey coming back and absolutely looking like he hasn't missed the beat at all so really interesting game there and then also the Atlanta Jacksonville game is is really intriguing to me you got Atlanta minus one and a half and this team has not looked like they can you know they they're reeling I mean they haven't been in these games they're playing Jacksonville on the road and being favored and I get it Jacksonville you know talking about only two two-win team um they haven't looked great as well but you know this is something where the the kid Trevor Lawrence can go out and and really show out against this Atlanta team and that line kind of makes me a little bit weary I'd probably you know probably stay away from the line just because it is so close that's one where I'd probably look to go straight up but uh let me know how you're feeling on either of those two games there with uh Atlanta Jacksonville or Carolina Miami yeah definitely so with the Panthers and Dolphins game I'm honestly split in this one I could go either way but it's what probably stay away from me I'm just going to enjoy it as a fan in this situation uh because yeah you have Tua when he's healthy he's been playing extremely well uh but you know he does have one of the worst offensive lines in the league and his wide receiver core is depleted as well and here he is going up against a stout defense in the Panthers the it's their defense that's really playing extremely well this year their offense has obviously been shaky but now it's true with Cam being back it's you can already see with he's his chemistry already back with CMC with Robbie Anderson with DJ Moore and you know this could he could have a really good game with all these players that he has you know like I said chemistry with however it's but the thing is the Dolphins defense is really showing up these last couple weeks and they could really cause Cam to cause some mistakes and that could turn around and put the Dolphins in a good field position and have Tua be able to get the ball down the field and what points up on the board no that that yeah that's a great point about the defense their defense has been really good as of late yeah exactly um now now looking at this Falcons game and Jags I mean this is I of course I've been I've been fading the Jags all season it's been an easy easy one but this is kind of a tough matchup here you know you have the Falcons I mean only at minus two it's just is it's I feel like it's going to go one of two ways it's either going to be you know it's a hard it's a hard game to watch in general I feel like these are two really bad teams but it's either going to be the typical Jags where there's only going to be like less than 10 points on each side of the team or it's going to be like a total shootout and it's going to be like 30 something to you know 36 or something you're just like both teams you're just gonna be like what's going on and from a fantasy perspective you know everyone's gonna have be like yes I'm so glad right yeah so they just both have like the terrible defenses except the Jags they're able to stop the run they're able to get it stopping the run however you know Matt it's just really Matt Ryan and his being able to throw the ball they don't really have a run game uh Jags you know it's just one of those you know James Robinson again from a fantasy perspective I feel like he could have a really good game in this matchup but I just feel like it's one of those just watch it in my or actually maybe don't watch it see see if there's anything happening and exciting from a red zone perspective for sure for sure no this is one I think you know a lot of people just in the DFS community I think this is one that will catch a little bit of steam I've seen you know people talking about maybe having some Matt Ryan exposure just because of the of the state right Jessica of this team we're getting Cordero Patterson back and I'm looking at his anytime touchdown prop here at you know plus a hundred so you know basically even money you want to put down on that to double it up I love that bet there because Mike Davis hasn't gotten anything going and and we know that this you know Jaguar's team is is just really depleted on defense as well so a lot of fun options there to target and on both sides too we saw that LeVish because you know they talked about getting him some more carries as you know they kind of trying to figure out something as they've lost DJ Chark and it seems like they've been trying to to figure that out all season long so a lot of fun prop bets to be made over there on the fan dual sports book I just wanted to pull up to see if we could get any action on rushing and receiving for Cordero Patterson yeah over 78 and a half yards there that's an interesting one he's been a guy that has been the catalyst for their offense for quite some time those are two games that thought you know we're fun but yeah just guys you as we talk about the state of the slate I mean really only in the noon games and that's for me central time one p.m. Eastern time for those folks listening in the Tampa Bay and indie game is the only one with the betting total over 50 points all these other games we're looking at you know the Falcons in Jacksonville 45 and a half Carolina and Miami 41 and a half Pittsburgh Cincinnati 43 and a half I mean just real ugly and then when we get into the afternoon slate that's kind of where it opens up are there any other things that you're seeing in the early state oh let's talk about this game here you might not have a lean on it Jessica but I think it's interesting to talk about for the people and shout out to everybody watching along with us here on the countdown to kickoff show here Ryan Williams and Jessica grid iron talking about the games that you should be betting on here on the fan dual sports but we got Tennessee visiting Foxboro and Tennessee was a team that I mean Jessica they looked like they were primed to compete in the AFC I mean Derek Henry was putting up numbers to possibly have them in the MVP conversation they lose him the AJ Brown is now on IR Julio Jones hasn't been gotten going I mean all these these guys the three Stooges for Ryan Tannehill are going to be missing and this is the week where you need them you're going into Foxboro this Patriots defense has been absolutely unbelievable this year and you're talking about the money that they spent on the defense they're a Bella check that's his you know prime prime source of getting things done and the Patriots are kind of on a quest to win the division with the way the Buffalo's been playing if they can you know keep up this pace so what are you feeling about this it's a seven and a half total I just don't know how Tennessee can stay in this game on the road if this gets you know if the Patriots are able to get up by seven you know and it's seven and a half so they'll just run it down and kick field goals and get hit this spread even though it it doesn't seem like a way that we usually like to attack the Patriots no for sure and this is one of those games that was just it was it was a hard one to look at because it's I like so we have the Titans which I would lean because seven and a half points is a lot of points to me for still it's it being Tennessee but this is a stay away game for me because you know this is why I look at the game here yes you have the Patriots defense where they have biggest turnaround especially without Stefan Gilmore I mean just think about it the Pats were two and four in the beginning of the season and now they're here possibly and looking pretty good that they might win the division and being a Dolphins fan this is something that I like hate to you know it's in my throat that I'm like all right I was accepting the bills bills to win and now I'm like okay really really a fellow check you had to come in and you know prove us you know they're leading the NFL right now with eight 18 interceptions and they three of them they return for touchdowns including Kyle van noise pick six in week and week 11 their total DVOA is ranked second in the league right now I mean that's just how amazing their defense is and that's just really you know defenses win championships and even with their rookie quarterback and yeah yeah Brian Tannehill who he's gonna have his hands fullness matchup he's you got Julio Jones out still and now AJ Brown is out for the next three weeks so and of course Derek Henry and Ryan he's just has to be careless he can't um he can't be careless with the ball like he has been um actually you know last year he had only 13 interceptions and he has 12 so far in the season four of which came last week against the Texans and like I mentioned their run game has you know become depleted and they've just really turned one dimensional and now you have the Patriots offense where they're heavily influenced on the run game we've clearly see that and they're going into facing a defense that's ranked 18th in Rush DVOA so all they have to do is just utilize their quarterback Mack Jones to just dink and duck the ball down the field and you know you clearly see how his best favorite target is Titan uh Hunter Henry and it's just but it's one of the things where it's it's a little too many too much points but however this could totally go on the Patriot side and they could dominate this game or the Titans might come back and have one of these miracle wins like they've honestly been doing so far this season no okay what's going on yeah no these are these you know fourth quarter magic I feel like usually is what what happens I mean they had the you know music music city miracles so long ago and now it just everything in Tennessee in Nashville kind of it seems to happen for Tennessee but this is on the road here um so it will be tough I know that uh they have this kid Dantro Hilliard uh in the backfield they've kind of rotated a couple pieces you know they signed Adrian Peterson they have this Dante Forman kid who you know reports are the Dante Forman supposed to be the lead back but then you look at the I was just looking at the box score as I was setting my DFS lineups and this Hilliard guy you know he got like 1820 touches opportunities last week and very involved in the passing game so maybe you know even if they're behind he could still be on the field and and utilized and he's an interesting piece I think um from a DFS perspective on Fandle he's plus 280 to score an anytime touchdown I mean I really just don't know what pieces you can trust uh on the Tennessee side to kind of keep this contest going I do find it interesting here Jessica we do have a revenge game narrative here uh with John New Smith it's against Tennessee you'd love it to be in Nashville for this guy playing against his former team but it isn't Foxborough both him and Hunter Henry are active Hunter Henry to score is plus 210 he is Mac Jones favorite target I believe that's that's boosted by Fandle actually I can go pull that up in a second John New Smith is 500 so five to one to score a touchdown against his former team that's interesting they did oh no here it is yeah Sunday's BS boost you got Hunter Henry to score a touchdown and Patriots win so you got that parlay there but plus 350 there I mean that's a good one that you can get after and be potentially successful on a good number to get at okay guys you're watching the Fandle countdown to kickoff show we appreciate everybody who's watching along hopefully you're taking Jessica's advice and making some of these bets Jessica you were hot on Thanksgiving I mean I I'm sorry that my bears minus two and a half decide that you know you have a chance to win it uh and just taking me I could not believe listen if I had the remote in my hand I don't I probably would be Black Friday shopping uh Friday for a new TV because I just could not believe that leaving up to the kicker Santos has been good for us it was not the point that you know I thought that he might miss or whatever it's just you know you you have a chance Matt Nagy was on the hot seat basically you you try and win the game with the touchdown on the goal line tough but the other two bets that you had were very successful there so I know you had a very successful Thanksgiving which is always fun so guys make sure you're checking out Jessica's bets at grid iron and wine is where you can find her on Twitter she's killing the game right now um Jessica are there any other leans before we get into uh the afternoon slate I want to make sure we touch on this one as we got some interesting and compelling games in this afternoon slate here yeah definitely just uh real quickly I'll just go over I also really like the the Eagles at my three and a half against the Giants yeah you have the Eagles which I think I mentioned before but they've definitely they're dominating in the run game which we've clearly seen Miles Sanders is back Boston Scott yeah of course you have Jalen Hertz uh they have won the last three games as favorites and covered against the spread their defense is solid and they're a tough matchup to play on their total EPA is 10th and total DVAs 18th they've also you know they had they had um two and then you have the sorry you have the Giants where they had two weeks to prepare for the Bucks and you know they were only able to put up 10 points so is uh how well is uh you know Daniel Jones going to be able to handle the pressure especially with the weak offensive line going into this matchup uh it took them 11 weeks to get Jason Garrett gone and get the boot here so and then just overall the Giants they just have they're struggling to stay healthy you know you have Ken and especially we say Con Barkley and you know I know Kenny Galladay's had some issues but he was also look at that huge contract they signed for him and he really hasn't done much I feel like they're just not utilizing him the way that they should be and so for just all those quick reasons especially just the Eagles they're coming in hot I wasn't a big believer in the Eagles uh early on I will admit that however you know they've really come around improving themselves so I think this is a good matchup where they'll be able to cover no this is a huge game I'm I'm so happy that you brought this up Jessica because there's a lot to dissect here with this game I mean first of all let's talk about the NFC Lease Division right I mean this is a huge game for the Philly uh they you know the Raiders just beat the Cowboys in Dallas on Thanksgiving the Eagles beat the Raiders earlier on in this season now because the Eagles lost to you know Dallas if the first tiebreaker would be that you know record they play each other the last game of the season but if it comes down to that third potential tiebreaker you start looking at opponents and that win over the the Raiders for Philly could really you know carry some weight if they're able to beat the Cowboys on the final week if it comes down to it um so this is a really big game for Philly you're talking about the Giants on the other side they just fired their offense coordinator and Jason Garrett and they got Freddy Kitchens now this guy from you know the start of Baker Mayfield's career and he had done some good things on offense which is why he kind of got named the head coach position uh while he was in Cleveland it didn't work out but now he has a chance to be back calling the place here for the Giants and you know I would kind of like the Giants side a little bit more if we had pieces that were healthy but the other thing Jessica is this team is absolutely depleted you love the work that Saquon's getting and we look at his anytime touchdown profits plus 105 I mean that he's going to be the catalyst for this team he's the way to keep them in the game but they're missing Cadarius Tony they're missing Sterling Shepherd they're missing both Titans outside of Evan Ingram and Caden Smith and Kyle Rudolph so four offensive pieces that are going to be out for this team it's going to be tough sledding for them I mean Darius Slay is back healthy for the Eagles you talked about their metrics on defense absolutely intriguing I love the Eagles defense actually from a DFS perspective here taking on the Giants and they are going overlooked and I just don't understand why because this is a prime spot for them to wreck some havoc so absolutely love that totally agree yes yes absolutely okay so we got we got the early slate covered real quick I got my I got my second team the hat on here I'm repping them we got Pittsburgh Steelers Cincinnati you like anything in that game just just in general at all man this is another one where I was like I don't know but I'd lean I'd lean the Steelers even though the Bengals really look like the way to go it's just like yeah just there's two I'm when I start liking way too many favorites there's an issue here you know but so but you do you have Joe when you're looking at the Bengals you have Joe Mixon he's had seven touchdowns and seven straight who's had a touchdown sorry and seven straight games and here he is facing a front seven ranked 16th in in DVOA the Steelers defense has allowed a league worse of 4.76 yards per run and their biggest their biggest issue is 24 of their first and tens have gone for 10 yards or longer with three of those going for touchdowns so this is why we could see a really big game from a Mixon standpoint here then of course there's Jamar Chase he's averaging 184 yards per catch and you have cornerback Joe Hayden out which uh it's possible uh from the Steelers side again that Jamar Chase could have a really good game but again this is a divisional matchup here and this is just one of those things where you when you look at their stats and everything the Bengals it's their defense that's carrying their team and not their offense and then here I am looking at it looking into this game deeper and they're showing a lot of offense how good they are offensively I'm just not sold on it and the Steelers just some way as banged up as they have been they've been able to cover and a lot of situations and but at the end of the day I just it's a stay away game for me I hear you on that yeah that's that's a one where I just have no read on that I mean I could possibly be talked into taking the Steelers points there um tough loss for them and the Chargers on primetime last week uh really really a game that I thought they could come back and win but uh just a lot of issues that they've had um on both the offense aside and defense aside the ball but you love that they're getting back I believe Minka Fitzpatrick's back for them and TJ Watt so that should really help them help them out there um and we got you know we got only a couple more minutes with with the guys here uh just gone who are tuning in um so I want to make sure we hit on these afternoon slate games we've got the Chargers traveling into Denver Minnesota and San Francisco which is probably you know we can say maybe the game of the week quote on quote so to speak but then you also got the Rams and the Packers which can also be viewed as game of the week too so what what of these three games are you liking if anything at all yes so out of those my favorite is actually taking the Chargers uh not not the Chargers as he I like him as I'm taking the under under 47 points you know divisional game both teams suck at stopping them run as we all know Chargers are dead last the Broncos they're just they're ranked 28th uh so both teams in their game plan should really use this to their advantage use their use their running backs you have Eklers on pace to have this best season of his career right now Broncos they got the two-headed monster and Gordon and Williams who Gordon's averaging 4.4 yards per carry and Williams averaging five so if they're gonna do that what are the what does that mean they're gonna burn the clock they're gonna slow the pace there's gonna be less points put on the board then what does Broncos even want to do they want to keep the ball out of Herbert's hands you know as much as he's he did struggle facing them last season however you know it's a new year and we all see how explosive Herbert can be especially with that deep ball uh so that's what the Broncos are gonna not want to have happened in this situation so between yeah that's that's why I like this game I think the under is the best way to go aside I would want to say the Chargers I mean they should be able to but you know it's one of those again I'm not too sure those Chargers man yeah no it's it's it's it's a tough look there with you know with with the team you'd never know it is interesting though you know these games would Denver I'd been taking the under um in a lot of these games and actually been being disappointed you know these are games that can break weird we know that Teddy Bridgewater likes to protect the ball um but they you know have explosive enough pieces you know with the two-headed backfield Javante Williams Melvin Gordon and then now Judy is back and he's got a contract Courtney Sutton's got a contract no offense healthy um but I do I do I do like uh the way you're looking at it with the under because I think more often than not we're looking at a game that is going to be really slug best grinded out here with these two teams especially with the Chargers being the ones on the road playing in that altitude but that's just a weird one that I think uh I have I have a little bit of exposure to that game in DFS from from Herbert Stax thinking that it breaks away and and uh something can open up there yeah and then I think you mentioned too I when it comes to the Rams versus Packers this is a lean for me too but I would lean the Packers on this and I also kind of really like the over 46 and a half if that's what it's still at right now but this is clearly a quarterback battle between two great quarterbacks you have Hall of Fame Aaron Rodgers who's dealing with a toe injury but he's less prone to turn making turnover mistakes and he is better at making plays outside of the pocket and of course you know his chemistry with Devonte Adams is unreal but of course then there's Matthew Stafford who's fourth in the NFL in touchdown passes and passer rating he clearly you know he has an amazing arm which we all know and now he has the coaching he has the player make playmakers around him to be super successful they're coming off of the bye so you know they've had really a lot of time to prepare except especially going up against this Packers defense which you know I feel like some weeks they play extremely well then some weeks are kind of a little questionable and yeah so that's why I kind of like the matchup in this which is two of powerhouse quarterbacks like I'm more of the over than actually taking a side but if I had to take a side I would lean the Packers in this game okay yeah I love that I mean anytime that you can get plus action on Green Bay at home I get it you know the COVID so pinkie broke and whatever but they are getting ready to go into their bye I think you had mentioned as well too so they could you know really you know use the use the break and this could be a good game a good team win to kind of go in there and kind of ride the ship guys we're getting up into a lock I know it's one one p.m. on eastern time 12 p.m. central I know your teams have locked up for real quickly Jessica before you go we got Sunday Cleveland Baltimore and then Monday Seattle Washington we will talk about Seattle and Washington a little bit tomorrow on the Monday night preview show the Q&A but Baltimore and Cleveland you got any read on this game we got Baker Mayfield who's healthy Lamar Jackson supposedly healthy another eight you know another divisional game that you know has a lot on the line especially for the Ravens here what's your lean on this game yeah I'm leaning the Ravens minus three and a half I also really like the over I have yet to make a play but I always end up making a play usually for Sunday night and Monday so keep that in mind and then but I'm still making a decision and then for Monday night football I'm leaning the Seahawks at plus what yeah at pick up okay so but this is again things can change but as of now those those are my two plays okay excellent no I love that the Seattle they they owe me a little bit I've been betting them since Russell Wilson's been back and that hasn't been too pretty so hopefully they can pay that back to us in full circle and we could be good right you know clean clean slate Jessica clean slate guys thanks so much for tuning in to the countdown to
