 Super Bowl 53 rematch set to take place here tonight on Thursday night football between the Los Angeles Rams and the New England Patriots. Could this be the beginning of a new era in Philadelphia? Jalen Hurts has been named the starting quarterback of the Philadelphia Eagles over Carson Wentz. What does that mean for the Eagles going into the postseason hopefully having a chance at winning the NFC East? Their division rivalists, the New York Giants, have surprised many of us with their four game win streak. Are they the favorites to win that division? The NFC East. It's a topic of discussion because another division rival to the Washington football team upset the Pittsburgh Steelers handing the Steelers their first loss of the season. Who haven't looked great the last couple of weeks? Are the Pittsburgh Steelers on a decline going into the NFL postseason? Week 14 news and notes in the NFL to catch up with you guys. That and much more on a brand new episode of Time to Football on this Thursday night pre-game show. Glad you guys are joining us. I am your wonderful host of the show, Hasan Khan. A lot of topics to talk about, mainly about the NFC East. We're going to dive into that much later on. What a week of action it was in week 13. A lot of you guys that play fantasy football, congratulations on making your fantasy football playoffs. I know that was a difficult time for many of us to have suffered through injuries, to have suffered through COVID causing a lot of bi-weeks to be switched around. A lot of players being inactive. For instance, Mark Andrews, James Conner recently, and a lot of people miss some time and some action because of that. But if you guys stuck through it, gutted through it and have that Cinderella story where you started 0-3, lost Saquon Barkley, and then you eventually made the NFL playoffs like one YouTube commenter commented this past week. Congratulations to you guys. And let's go ahead and just gut it out for the next couple of weeks and win you that fantasy football championship. You can have that chance to win that championship if you get second opinions from people. If you are in the chat right now previewing or premiering this video as we premiere it live on YouTube, how are you guys doing? I'm joining you guys in the chat right now. I'm going to comment something ridiculous right now. I don't know what I'm going to comment, but it changes every week or maybe it just stays the same. I've been commenting one word every single week. I'm just going to go ahead and comment that right now. But if you have any sort of questions, I'm joining you guys throughout the duration of the show. Ask your fantasy football questions. We only second opinions. We only second opinions. This is the time that it matters the most. And let's go ahead and win you that fantasy football title. If you guys are listening to us on the audio experience, thank you for joining us on iTunes, listening to us on your way to work, whether it be at the gym, working out as well, make sure that you go over to YouTube, youtube.com, such time to football. Subscribe to us on there. We'll come out with much more content throughout the week on our YouTube channel. We're going to get to the topics for today's show. But first, you know what we have to do every single week. We have to give the most prestigious award on this show. And that is the hungriest player of the week. Time to football's hungriest player of the week, the one that wanted it the most. The check down, the NFL's Instagram account stole this award from me. They created this in 2019. I created it in 2013. Congratulations, you have a big following NFL. You can get sponsors. You have a lot of money, snickers sponsors you. And you chose Darren Waller to be a hungriest player of the week this week. Well, because you stole an award from me, I'm going to go ahead and steal your choice of hungriest player of the week and say that Darren Waller is this week's hungriest player of the week for us for time to football. Waller the baller. There can't be a much more fitting name than Waller the baller, 13 receptions, 200 yards total and two receiving touchdowns and that amazing victory against the New York Jets. I actually had the Jets pulling off the upset against the Raiders and I thought they were going to pick up their first victory this past week, but instead Darren Waller had other hopes. Derek Carr, Henry Ruggs had other hopes as well. Greg Williams had other intentions as well. He didn't want to win that game. And the Raiders put off that amazing comeback victory and it was all because of Darren Waller. You could say it's Henry Ruggs and Derek Carr was passing those dimes to Darren Waller as well, which credits to those guys as well for helping them pick up that victory. But Darren Waller, if they weren't, if it weren't for those 200 yards, those two touchdowns, they wouldn't be in that position to pick up that victory. So Darren Waller, congratulations. You have an amazing comeback story into the NFL. Once you got signed with the Baltimore Ravens and went through some personal issues and then you came back with the Raiders and you haven't solid the last couple of years for the Raiders and you are deserving this week, week 14 or week 13, the hungriest player of the week award. Congratulations, Darren Waller. Where the jet's trying to lose that game? I'm generally curious. I really don't know. I mean, congratulations, Greg Williams because you have an early vacation as Pat McAfee said on his show. You have an early vacation because you're gonna get fired anyways. But that leads into week 14 news and notes for the league and we're gonna start off with the New York Jets, Greg Williams. Let's talk a little bit more about that. Maybe you wanted the tank, even though it doesn't really matter because you knew that you were gonna get fired. Why do you care about the New York Jets and their lack of success and getting Trevor Lawrence? So I don't know, I just, who runs cover zero in that situation when you're down or when you're up and there are 13 seconds left and you just have to play that typical Dan Quinn prevent defense. Come on, come on. This is coming from a Falcons fan. Prevent defense sucks. And that's why we gave up Dan Quinn and got rid of him because he just gave up so many leads from playing prevent defense. But if that's the one situation where you have to play prevent defense. Anyways, Greg Williams fired. Moving on. A topic that we wanna talk about on the show we're gonna get more into later on in the show but just a little tidbit and a little nugget that we wanna share with you guys if you guys haven't heard if you've been living underneath the rock is that Jalen Hertz has been named the starting quarterback over Carson Wins for the Philadelphia Eagles. We're gonna get into much more details more in depth later on in the show. Christian McCaffrey now has a quad injury. First it was a high ankle sprain then it was an AC joint injury in his shoulder and now it's a quad injury that he suffered while working out on his own being removed on the sideline or having time to himself while working out because being sidelined from that AC joint injury he now has a quad injury and his status is in doubt this week in week 14 against the Denver Broncos. Mike Davis, Curtis Samuel actually Curtis Samuel might be missing this week as well so a lot of running back issues there for Carolina and Christian McCaffrey they might elect them just to sit them out for the rest of the 2021 or 2020 season just going to 2021 because you're foreign aid. You have really nothing much to play for the Saints have the block on the NFC South. It's gonna take a lot for you guys to meet the NFL playoffs so they may elect to just sit out Christian McCaffrey for the remainder of the season. James Connor and Mark Andrews two recent big names that have been on the COVID-19 list have now been activated and they are eligible to play this week Connor against the Buffalo Bills and then Mark Andrews against the Cleveland Browns on Monday night football. Joe Judge, the New York Giants head coach is optimistic that Daniel Jones can play this week which is surprising because hamstring injuries for a lot of people it takes three, four or five weeks to recover but Joe Judge says that he is optimistic Daniel Jones won't miss any more time. There is a high possibility that he could play against the Arizona Carnals and more than likely it'll come down to a game time decision so just be sure to monitor that. Drew Brees is eligible to come off IR officially this week at any time but he may not play until next week against the Kansas City Chiefs. This week they have the opportunity to clinch the NFC South. They've already clinched a playoff berth but they might just elect to sit him and they may need him for that big game against the Kansas City Chiefs. That's gonna be a big game if Drew Brees were to come back must watch football but that is your week 14 news and notes around the NFL. Some topics we wanna talk about starting off with Jalen Hertz the rookie quarterback out of Oklahoma previously Alabama will now be starting for the Philadelphia Eagles for the foreseeable future possibly we don't know yet at least for this week against the New Orleans Saints who more than likely will be without Drew Brees like we mentioned but Jalen Hertz will be facing what is a top 10 defense in the Saints this week. Is this a good move or a bad move by the Philadelphia Eagles? He went five for 12, 198 yards, one touchdown and one interception versus the Green Bay Packers after Doug Peterson elected to bench Carson Wentz with the lack of success that he's been having not just for that game but for the whole 2020 season. Hertz is now the starting quarterback for the time being when asking Doug Peterson his thoughts on Jalen Hertz starting for the remainder of the season over Carson Wentz this is what Doug Peterson had to say. I don't have a crystal ball I can't predict the future, right? I mean, come on, that's all I can focus is today and getting our team prepared today and getting our guys ready for Sunday. So he is not committed to Jalen Hertz moving forward past this Sunday. I wanna hear from you guys do you guys believe that this is a right move by Doug Peterson by the Philadelphia Eagles to finally give Jalen Hertz an opportunity to be a starting quarterback this late in the season? Actually, as a matter of fact, this late in the season, week 14 is the latest that any Philadelphia Eagles rookie quarterback has started in their franchise history at least from 1950 on because that's when they started keeping track of that stat. This is a good trial run. This is a good trial run to see what you got with Jalen Hertz and I know a lot of people when Jalen Hertz was drafted were thinking, okay, he's gonna go ahead and dethrone Carson Wentz for the starting job. But then there were many other people that said, no, no, no, no, no, no, Carson Wentz is still good. We still believe that he can play at that MVP level that he once was at. He just needs some right weapons. He needs a lot of these players to get back from these injuries. And a lot of that is true. It really is. And a lot of that did effect his performance this year, but at this point, week 14 it is time to move on. It really is. I made a video earlier this season that was talking about how Carson Wentz First off, I was a flip-flopper. I said that Carson Wentz, a lot of people are downgrading him, a lot of people are down talking to him. He just needs to write pieces around him and then he can be that good productive quarterback. And maybe that's still true, but then later on, I came out with a video after that Sunday night game talking about him playing the Dallas Cowboys. He just made these throws that just did not look great. It looked like he was doing way too much to make up for a team that doesn't have much. Just interception after fumble, after not throwing the ball away and just costing his team eight yards from a sack and it's just causing them to turn it over or punt it and a loss of possession, whatever it may be. Carson Wentz was just slowly just adding on to the decline of the Philadelphia Eagles. And I really hate to say that. I really do, because I'm a Carson Wentz fan. And I don't know what his future is gonna look like. I don't know if he's gonna get traded. A lot of people are talking about the Indianapolis Colts because of his connections with Frank Reich because he loves hunting. So Indianapolis, Indiana, you know, that's around that area. But I don't know what the future's gonna hold for Carson Wentz. I don't know if he's gonna succeed with any other team. But at least this year in 2020 from just what I see, it was time to move on. It is, it's time to see what you have in that rookie quarterback. A lot of people wanted this Wentz and Jalen Hurts combination to be like droopries and taste some hill. How do you believe that Jalen Hurts is gonna do for the remainder of the season? Because if we wanna talk about the schedule and their chances of making the post-season because they're still in the running to win the NFC East, believe it or not, at three, eight and one being the record. The remaining schedule, New Orleans this week, they face Arizona, then they face Dallas, and then they face the New York Giants. Out of those games, is it a possibility that they could win maybe two, three? Yeah, I mean, you could beat Washington, you could beat Dallas. And if you pull off an upset against maybe Arizona, who hasn't been looking that great with a Kyle Emery shoulder injury that he's been suffering, has been leading to the decline recently for the Cardinals, maybe, but it's not probable. So at this point, you're more than likely out. And I kinda see the thinking behind Jalen Hurts starting like, hey, we do have a chance of making the post-season, but what we need is more so a spark, number one, if we wanna have a chance to make it, and number two, like I said, trial run. Just see what you have so you can make a decision on Carson Wentz and the $25 million guaranteed that he's gonna be making in 2021. Leave your comments down below. I wanna hear your thoughts. Jalen Hurts, is that the right move or not? We're gonna take a quick break before we move on to more NFC East teams talking about the Giants, Washington, the Dallas Cowboys and that whole division.

Moving on to other topics for this week's show, the New York Giants are in prime position to win the NFC East division title. The question is, can they hold on to that division lead or is any other team going to surpass them like the Washington football team that just put off this amazing upset against the Pittsburgh Steelers? The Dallas Cowboys still have a shot. The Philadelphia Eagles, if they were to get a spark with Jalen Hertz, have a shot at winning the NFC East. What are the chances that each team were to win the NFC East? To break it down even further, you have to look at the remaining schedule for each of these four teams. There are four games remaining if you wanna count this week, this Sunday, week 14. Let's first start off with the Philadelphia Eagles. We talked about the schedule earlier when we talked about Jalen Hertz. The New Orleans Saints, the Arizona Cardinals, the Dallas Cowboys and the Washington Redskins. Just kidding, just wanna make sure you're paying attention, the football team. They're currently staying at three, eight and one. The Philadelphia Eagles do. The Saints, if we wanna go ahead and just pick favorites to win and favorites to lose, let's go ahead and say that the Saints are gonna beat the Eagles. Okay, three, nine and one. The Arizona Cardinals are a little bit on the climb. Let's say they're still favorited, they still have a better record, they're still the better team and you have a rookie quarterback. Let's say that Calvin Murray, his shorter were to get better and he were to beat the Eagles. Okay, three, 10 and one. But then the last two games, you got the Cowboys, you got the football team. You're pretty much even with those two teams. Say you pull off the victory and you win two games. So let's say out of these four games, the Eagles win two out of the next four games. They would stand at five, 10 and one as their final record. Okay, so keep that in mind, five, 10 and one. The Dallas Cowboys, they're three and nine. Their schedule might be the easiest out of any remaining NFC East team. The Cincinnati Bengals, which by the way, this game against the Bengals, revenge game for Andy Dalton. He's going to show up, or at least I hope, he's going to play lights out. So I am excited for Andy Dalton for him to get that revenge against the Cincinnati Bengals. The San Francisco 49ers, the Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Giants. So the Bengals, Niners, Eagles and the Giants are the remaining four games. Pretty simple schedule, not too difficult at that point. So let's say out of those four games, the Cowboys were to win three out of those four games. Three out of four, that put you at six and 10. All right, so now they surpassed the Eagles who were five, 10 and one, the Cowboys surpass them and now they lead the division at six and 10. Cool. The Washington football team, the 49ers, the Seahawks, the Panthers, the Eagles, they currently sit at five and seven. They don't have the tiebreaker with the New York Giants because of those two losses that they suffered against them earlier this season, but they're at second place right now. Out of those four games, between the Niners, Seahawks, Panthers and the Eagles, let's say that they win two of them, okay? They're capable of beating the Eagles. They're capable of beating the Panthers if they were to sit Christian McCaffrey and shut them out for the remainder of the 2020 season. They're even capable of being the 49ers at that point. It's possible, but let's say between the 49ers and the Panthers, they were to lose to one of those teams and they were to beat another one of those teams. So that would put them at seven and nine, but then here's the New York Giants who have been playing lights out, that have been surprising a lot of people, starting one and seven and then winning four games straight, even without the starting quarterback this last week against one of the better teams in the NFL and the Seattle Seahawks, they sit at five and seven. What is the remaining schedule? The Arizona Cardinals, the Cleveland Browns, the Baltimore Ravens, the Dallas Cowboys. Pretty tough schedule. Especially if we want to talk about the Browns and the Ravens, let's go ahead and count those as losses. Now they have nine losses on the season. The Cowboys, they're capable of beating them. The Wild Card this week is so important in beating the Arizona Cardinals because the Giants, the Cardinals, yeah, record-wise, they're kind of neck and neck, but the Cardinals kind of sort of had the edge. But because of the recent struggles with Kyler Murray and the injury through his shoulder that he's been having, the Giants are in prime position to beat the Cardinals and if they do, they would go to seven and nine if we want to say that the Browns and the Ravens were to beat them. They'd be at seven and nine, so it would be the Washington football team and the Giants have the tiebreaker and they would win the NFC East and make the postseason at seven and nine. Leave your comments, leave your thoughts. Do you see this as a realist possibility that the Giants were to make the postseason interact with us? Because I was going back and forth. It might be the Giants and it might be the football team. And then at a certain point, I was like, oh, look at the schedule. Like the Giants could easily, easily go six and 10 and the football team easily could go seven and nine. So the football team wouldn't make it in. But then I thought about Antonio Gibson and I thought about the injury that he had and I thought about how that's gonna be a big loss for the football team because of stout run defense in the 49ers this week, which by the way, Antonio Gibson, it's not ruled out that he's not gonna play, but more than likely he's not because according to reports, this turf toe is very painful. So Jayden McKessick and Peyton Barber are more than likely going to lead the backfield for the football team. This game against the 49ers, a stout run defense. You have no run defense. So a lot of pressure is gonna be, is it gonna have to put on Alex Smith in this revenge game, quote unquote, against the San Francisco 49ers? I don't see it happening. I see this Sunday being a loss for the Washington football team, the 49ers picking up that victory. And if Antonio Gibson were to set out another week, well, they're gonna lose against the Seattle Seahawks, but if we were to lose or set out another week after that, the Carolina Panthers who have a pretty weak run defense, it's gonna be pretty tough at that point to really pull off a victory moving forward for the remainder of the season. So I think the loss of Antonio Gibson is going to be big and the key for the Giants in making that NFC East, or winning that NFC East division title. The Giants have just been wonderful. They've always had these great defensive pieces around them on their team. They had Leonard Williams, which the stats may not show up, but he's been playing very, very well. You have James Bradbury, who's more and more every single week becoming more and more of that corner that can line up with the number one receiver and shadow him every single week. Still gives up some big plays here and there, still is a perfect. Still has some flaws here and there, but James Bradbury is one of the better cornerback players developing into, I would say, edging right into that top 10 category of one of the best cornerbacks in the national football league currently. So they have some good solid players on the defense and it's been key for them picking up some victories because they're offense, we all know about the turnovers, we all know about the injuries that they've suffered as well. Wayne Gaumann has stepped up really well for Devonte Freeman and Saquon Barkley, Colt McCoy played really well and did his job and did enough to help pick up the victory against the Seattle Seahawks and this Giants team, they have the depth to pick up for teams or pick up for the players that are injured. They had the defense to compete with some pretty good teams. For the Giants to make the NFC East or make the NFL postseason by winning the NFC East, high probability and I like their chances and that's why I'm rolling as a Giants as my favorite to win this division title. But if you guys have a different favorite, if you guys agree or disagree, leave your comments and interact with us. Let me know who your favorites are to win this title. One of these NFC East teams, the Washington football team upset the Pittsburgh Steelers handing them their first loss of the season this past Monday night, which by the way, I don't know if you guys had any trouble trying to find this game anywhere. I could not find it. I could not find it. What I do is usually I watch Sling. I have a subscription to Sling to watch NFL Red Zone on Sundays and then Thursday night games, Monday night games or any other games, individual games that I want to watch, I watch on YouTube TV. Could not find it on YouTube TV. And then I was like, oh, okay. Well, let me sign up for a free trial on Hulu because Hulu has live sports from the commercials that we see was not on Hulu. And I was like, dude, where the heck is this? So I just commented on an Instagram post and some guy was like, yeah, bro, go to this shady website, crackstreams.com. And I found it. I really found it. So congratulations or thank you for helping me find that stream. But congratulations to my computer because now it has a virus. Just kidding, no, it doesn't. But yeah, so they pull off that upset victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers who have not been looking great the last couple of weeks. Are the Steelers on a decline going into the NFL post season? This past week against Washington, we have to give Washington some credit. Okay, their defense really played well. But we wanna talk about that game against the Baltimore Ravens as well the week prior. I know it was Wednesday. I know it got pushed back as a COVID and might've just messed things up, but they didn't look that well at all. They had the game in their hands, it seemed like, and then they just gave up a big touchdown to the goats, Trace McSorley. I don't wanna say Trace McSorley. McSorley is the greatest quarterback of all time, but he's probably, I would say like 15th or 20th, like greatest quarterback of all time. So like, I understand why they would give up a touchdown to him, because he's pretty freaking good, but they almost lost that game against the Baltimore Ravens. So the question is, can they just rebound and just prevent the skid that they've been on recently? We have to look at the remaining schedule. The four games remaining for the Pittsburgh Steelers are the Buffalo Bills this week, Sunday Night Football, that's gonna be a great game. The Cincinnati Bengals, the Indianapolis Colts, and the Cleveland Browns. Three of these teams have a winning record and they're very, very good. The Bills, the Colts, and the Browns. Let's say out of those three games, because we expect, we know anything could happen, but we expect the Bengals to lose to the Steelers. So they got one victory, they now have 12 games, one for the season. Out of the Bills, the Colts, and the Browns. Which of these teams can they be? Well, if they play the way that they've been playing recently, the last couple of games, they're gonna lose to all of these teams, and there's a high possibility that they could go 12 and four. However, if they turn things around and if they were to just say, okay, those games were outliers, we're still a very good team, they could beat the Colts, they could beat the Browns, maybe you lose to the Bills. Let's just say out of those three games, they'd beat two of them, okay? They'd beat two of those three teams. Then you sit at 13 and three, which sounds great, sounds amazing, but the question is, will they get that first round by? Because there's seven teams now in each conference for the post-season run. Meaning that the Kansas City Chiefs led by MVP favorite, Patrick Mahomes, will be candidates to get that first round by. And Pittsburgh will be left out as the second seed, facing the seventh seed. What are some teams that have the possibility of being the seventh team in the NFL? Well, there's, or in the AFC, there's the Tennessee Titans who are very good and could upset any good team at any given point with the offense that they have. There's the Baltimore Ravens, which we see with Lamar Jackson, if you lost almost without Lamar Jackson, when you get Lamar Jackson back, it's a possibility that they could pick up a victory against the Pittsburgh Steelers, because it's very hard for any team to pick up three straight victories or three games, three victories won against the division rival playing in the post-season as well. But this is history. This isn't the first time that we've seen this, where a team has started out hot and they kind of fizzle out. Other examples of that include the 2008 New York Giants, started 11-1, had a one loss, because of Cleveland Browns, I believe it was week five, week six. 11-1, fresh off the Super Bowl, Eli Manning, great, probable year. They finished one in three, and they lost their first game that they played in the post-season. They had a first round by, but they lost against the Philadelphia Eagles, who weren't that good. There were nine, six, and one, I believe it was a record, and they lost to them in the divisional round. Okay, that's just one example. Did you, the following year, 2009 Colts, they elected to set their starters the last two games. Jim Caldwell did. They could have gone undefeated. They were fortunate to know they sat out. Their starters the last two games. They ended up costing them. They lost to Super Bowl that season. The 2011 Green Bay Packers. All right, they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs. Upset victory with Kyle Orton as their quarterback. And what was, I think the score was seven to three, or something ridiculous like that, like a defensive game. And then they lost their first game that they played in the playoffs that year to the New York Giants, who eventually went on to win the Super Bowl. Most recently, the 2019 Baltimore Ravens. All right, they started off two and two, had that loss against the Kansas City Chiefs in week three, and then they ended up going 14 and two. They lost to the Titans in the divisional round. Their first game that they played in the playoffs that season, are you picking up on a little trend or teams that start off hot, end up physically out of the last four games, three games, whatever it may be, and they end up losing a game in their first, their first game in the post-season that year. Now the Colts, they went on to the Super Bowl, so maybe they're not a perfect example of that, but this is history. We've seen this time and time again. And I don't know what it is. I don't know if it's easy for teams to realize like, oh, for teams to pick up on how they're doing and pick up on their game plan. And maybe just some players aren't that motivated when the season keeps on chugging along. But I don't know what it may be, but the Pittsburgh Steelers are right now on the cusp of being one of those teams. One of those teams that could lose their first game in the post-season. Maybe their second game. Not get past the divisional round. So what are your thoughts? Do you guys believe that the Pittsburgh Steelers are in danger of this happening, of another skid happening, and just being another transaction, a blip, another outlier of these teams losing and getting on the skid? Because what I believe is for the Pittsburgh Steelers to avoid this skid, you've got to get the run game going. You really do. And maybe it's gonna be this week with James Conner now activated against the Buffalo Bills, who haven't been that good at stopping the run. Maybe it could be this week that the run game starts going. But that's the one area that you've been lacking. And I believe if the Pittsburgh Steelers were to just get that together and want to get the run game going, this offense would be better than ever. We know the passing game just, it does really well, but you can't just rely on that all the time. The Steelers could have tied this game. Actually, they could have won this game by a point if they were elected, or if they just ran into the end zone with Benny Snell four different times. They tried. They really did. But they didn't get in. They're on the goal line. And they could have won this game 24-23. So at this run game, it needs to pick up the slack. It really does, to avoid another skid for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Believe your thoughts down below. What do you guys believe is going to happen for the Pittsburgh Steelers in their fate this upcoming postseason? The last segment of the show, fantasy football question. The favorite part for you guys, the fantasy football playoffs are among us. And what I like to do every single week is I like to bob and weave, get past those Asian bossa in the comments and choose a few comments that I get to answer live on this show as we premiere it. So first question is from Martin Penya. Penya? Penya? I don't know if the little squiggly's above the end or not, but Penya. What do you think about Goddard this week? Dallas Goddard is now the tied end. The favorite of tied in in the Philadelphia Eagles offense. Over as Zach Goertz, who just came back from an injury. Maybe he was just getting phased into the offense this past week because of the Green Bay Packers. But Goddard has been the better of the two between, or better of the two tied ends. So Goddard, I'm gonna go ahead and just say keep on starting him. Keep starting him because he's not only the best of the two right now currently between him and Zach Goertz, but he's the best receiver. And for Jalen Hertz, who's gonna be under pressure, who's gonna have to dump off the ball, short yardage, passing routes, go with Dallas Goddard, dump offs. If you, especially if you're in Peep Arrow Lakes, I would go ahead and start Dallas Goddard this week against the Saints who have been not so good against tied ends this season. Next one, CT22 Coasters. What are your thoughts on the CEMC injury? I explained this a little bit earlier in the podcast. I believe they're gonna shut them out. I really do. I think it's gonna be the Mike Davis show from here on out. I don't think that Chris McAfrey has any reason or any motivation. Well, maybe he does, but the Panthers don't have any motivation to play Christian McAfrey and the three injuries that he suffered, I don't think they wanna take any more chances and just wanna be healthy going into 2021. So I think he's gonna get shut out. I really do. And I don't like his chances of playing this week. I don't like him playing next week for the remainder of the season. I'm sorry if you're a Christian McAfrey owner. I really am. I don't injuries suck. Listen, I had Saquon Barkley. I had Deandre Swift. I had OBJ. I had Debo Samuel. I had Connor go on COVID. I had Dallas Goddard getting injured. There's just so many injuries and so many things happening this fantasy football season that it sucks, but I'm sorry, man. I don't see that Chris McAfrey's, I don't like his chances of playing for the remainder of the season. The next one is from James Ballotbat. Is it a good idea to start both AJ Brown and Corey Davis against Jacksonville? Yes, it's okay because these two receivers are neck and neck and I've been high on Corey Davis all season long and those ads and drops of videos, he's been my out of the week three different times. Funny story about Corey Davis, I picked him up after he had an explosive week one game against the Denver Broncos. I was like, wow, this guy looks amazing. He's finally gonna be that first round talent that this Tennessee Titans team wanted him or drafted him to be. I'm gonna pick him up. He's gonna be a sleeper wide receiver if I need some depth or, you know, if someone has a bye week, I need to push him in or plug him in. It's gonna be Corey Davis for me. And then I had to drop him because I had so many receivers. He got COVID, it was on that COVID list, Corey Davis was, and I had so many injuries and I had to drop him and I was like, all right, well, I need a running back so bad. So I picked up a running back. I had to drop Corey Davis and then I tried getting him again and then someone beat me to it when he got off the COVID list. And then I was like, dude, what can I give up? What can I give up for Corey Davis because I really like this guy? And eventually I just traded Devin Singletary. To my surprise, he was a big Devin Singletary fan. So I was like, oh yeah, sure. Have Devin Singletary, give me Corey Davis. So I got Corey Davis and he's been doing really well for me as of late. So he's neck and neck with AJ Brown in terms of fantasy points on who's gonna be the leading receiver in terms of fantasy points for the Tennessee Titans. It's okay and it's a good situation if the matchup is great to start AJ Brown and Corey Davis. AJ Brown, I would start as a wide receiver one every single week, regardless of the matchup. He's that freaking good. Corey Davis is gonna be a good, reliable, flex play every single week moving forward. That's how I'm gonna be treating him so you have good chances or good odds of doing well with both receivers if you were to start him. Kevin Acklin, Chiefs, Ravens, 49ers or Titans defense this week. IDKY, but I'm leaning Chiefs. The Chiefs are a must-sit for me this week just because the Chiefs defense does good when the matchup is good, does bad when the matchup is bad and this week is a bad matchup. I know that too, Tukovai Loa isn't as talented or doing it as well as Ryan Fitzpatrick this season but I still wouldn't trust the Chiefs defense against that offense that just got back Miles Gaskin who's been looking great, looks great in his first game back against the Cincinnati Bengals. Tukovai Loa seems to be playing well, has been developing a connection finally with his tight end, Mike Kasicki. We all know about Devonte Parker and his talent so I wouldn't start the Kansas City Chiefs defense. The Ravens against the Browns, I would choose them against the Chiefs or over the Chiefs because we all know that this Ravens defense is much more talented than the Chiefs and we all know that this Browns offense has the capability of messing up at any point. They've been productive and they've been looking good and all that is credited to Kevin Stefanski and his play calling but the Ravens can expose the Browns like they did in week one only limiting them to six points. The 49ers or the Titans, the Titans against the Jags, I don't care how bad the Jags, the Jaguars offense is. If you saw that game against Minnesota, you know that if a bad defense goes up against a bad offense with the offense being Jacksonville, Jacksonville's gonna expose that and they're gonna put up some points especially if they have James Robinson but the 49ers against Washington I would start that as well. So the Ravens or the 49ers would be the ones that I would lean towards. Don't go with the Chiefs, I promise you it's not gonna work out. PG two great. I have Michael Thomas, Woods, AJ Brown and Godwin. Can someone give me three to start? I don't think is Chris Godwin gonna play this week? I know that he's injured. I know that he wasn't practicing last week so I don't know if he's gonna be playing this week. That's why I put Antonio Brown as one of my must starts for this week just to make up for the loss of Chris Godwin. So it's gonna come down to a game time decision at that point. So what you really have to look at is are you gonna start Robert Woods here tonight? I don't know if you're gonna have time to see this but are you gonna start Robert Woods tonight over someone that might be a game time decision this Sunday? It depends on who the player is that could be a game time decision. It depends on the matchup but I wouldn't take the risk and I would go ahead and start Robert Woods because even though the matchup you may look at it and be like, oh, the Patriots defense has been playing well as of late. You've got Stephanie Gilmore, you've got JC Jackson who have been good cornerbacks. Listen, the way that the Rams offense operates for the past two years with their receivers they had these good games and matchups that may not seem that good because there are a lot of dump off passes. So if you're in PPR leagues and you if you have Robert Woods 100% I would start them every single week just because you got to look at it. You got to look at these dump off passes. These routes that they run are designed to just get the ball out quick and let them get some yards after the catch and like Cooper Cup and Robert Woods make the play because when you look at the reception leaders every single week who have double digit receptions you may look at like, okay, Michael Thomas got double digit receptions for the week. Yeah, that makes sense. Georgia Hopkins, yeah, that makes sense. Keenan Allen, yeah, that makes sense. Joseph Herbert's favorite target. Robert Woods, does he belong in that category? The answer is yes. He may have those games that he gets 12 receptions for a ridiculous 131 yards or something like that. And this could be one of those games. So regardless of the matchup Robert Woods seems to be a PPR machine just because of those dump off passes. So I would start Michael Thomas, Robert Woods and AJ Brown. Mr. McElmos drunk. I see you commenting. You've been commenting for the last three years. Thank you for your support. Logan Thomas or John Smith if Johnny plays. I'm gonna go ahead and go with Johnny Smith. I had Anthony Firkser as the sleeper of the week tight end. Seven targets last week and a third, more than a third of the Ryan Tanner Hills touchdowns go to tight ends. The Jacksonville Jaguars have given up nine touchdowns this season to the tight end position. So I would start Johnny Smith. I don't like his chances of playing this week because he didn't practice all week. So more than likely this week he's gonna be eliminated in some sort of fashion. So it's gonna be a game time decision. But it comes down to a game time decision and he's not gonna be eliminated. He's good to go. Johnny Smith over Logan Thomas all the way. We still have to wait and see if Logan Thomas can be non-touchdown dependent to put up great fantasy numbers. Last week was the first time that he had a game with over four receptions. So I don't trust Logan Thomas right now, especially if the matchup isn't that good, which the 49ers are first in the NFL in fantasy football at least against the tight end position. The last question from Mark Pedry, Herbert or Tana Hill? I think I chose this one because I've seen three or four different people with the same exact question. Herbert or Tana Hill? My answer is Tana Hill. I like Herbert. Hasn't been looking good the last couple of weeks. So that should give you a little bit of concern. I notice the Atlanta Falcons defense and this has the capability of being a high scoring game. So Herbert and Matt Ryan may go back and forth touchdown after touchdown but Herbert hasn't been looking good. We know that the Falcons defense under Raheem Morris has really stepped it up and they have the capability of shutting down quarterbacks if needed. We all know about the game against Las Vegas and Derek Carr. Ryan Tana Hill on the other hand is a good player, can get it done with his legs as well in the passing game and Jacksonville is just not that good on defense compared to the Atlanta Falcons. So if you want to put Herbert and Tana Hill on a level field of as far as how productive they've been in fancy football and how good of a quarterback and their talent is, you have to look at the matchup. And then at that point, I would favor Tana Hill more than Herbert at that point. Wow, that's it. That's it for this week's episode of Time 2 Football.
