 What's going on, everyone? JJ Zacharias in here. I'm sorry I wasn't here last week. I was out celebrating the Pitt ACC championship. That's not really the reason I wasn't there, but I was at the game last week when Pitt won the ACC championship, and I saw the Kenny Pickett Slide IRL. No one cares about that though. We got to talk about week 14 of this NFL season, big, big week for fantasy football implications. And unfortunately, it's a pretty bad week overall. I mean, there's just lots of injuries, a lot of COVID news, et cetera, et cetera. So I will get right to these right away. We'll start with DC Jets 11, half PPR, pick two please. You got Jameson Crowder, who has a very good slot matchup even before the Elijah Moore news that hit yesterday. I liked Jameson Crowder as like a deep sleeper. He was on my sleeper show, I mentioned him, because he's a really good slot matchup this week. Darnell Mooney with Allen Robinson back, Brandon Cooks and AJ Dillon. I think amongst these four, I am going to go with probably Cooks for sure, and probably Dillon as the other one. Next one is Taysum Hill, Russell Wilson or Aaron Rodgers. I have variations of these options across a few leagues. So if you could rank these three, that would be awesome. I would go Aaron Rodgers, probably Taysum Hill over Russ, but I can make the argument for Russ over Taysum Hill. I like Russ a lot today. It's hard not to against Houston, but Taysum Hill just has that rushing floor that I think he's going to utilize a decent bit against the Jets just given that finger issue. PPR one running back, Antonio Gibson, Cordero Patterson, Saquon Barkley. I like Antonio Gibson without JD McKissick. I think his target chair should be pretty strong without McKissick there. At quarterback, would you go Taysum Hill, Cam Newton, Taylor Heineke or Jimmy Garoppolo? Let's go with Taysum Hill. Next one, full PPR need two from Hunt and Dillon and Darrell Williams. I will bench Darrell Williams among those three. Panthers are Chargers defense today. I mean, they're both kind of in the same tier. The Panthers are facing the best matchup possible in terms of adjusted fantasy points allowed. Atlanta is pretty bad, but the Chargers have a really good matchup themselves. I'm going to lean the team that I just generally trust a little bit more and that's the Chargers, but you can go with either of these options today. I think they're both good ones. Non-PPR flex, Hunter Renfrew, Ty Johnson, Jeff Wilson. Let's throw Ty Johnson out of here. I don't think he's the answer amongst these three. So let's go with and non-PPR, I think that you can make the case for Jeff Wilson. Let me just give you a blanket Jeff Wilson statement. I think that they're going to utilize Debo Samuel in the backfield today. Obviously, Jim Michael Hasty had been utilized as a pass catcher out of the backfield earlier this season, but I do expect Jeff Wilson to see maybe like 15, 16, 17 carries and obviously some goal line work potential too. It's a good matchup as well. And non-PPR, I might go Wilson over Renfrew, but I do think that Renfrew is a safer option just because at the end of the day, any sort of running back usage comes down to a coaching decision. And if they don't want to utilize Jeff Wilson that way, then obviously there's some risks. So I think Renfrew is safer even though it's non-PPR, but I think Jeff Wilson has a little bit more of a ceiling. Need a Hawkinson replacement in half PPR, Austin Hooper, great role for him today with no one else there. Cole Comet, Foster Murrow or RSJ. I don't think Cole Comet should be in this conversation personally because Foster Murrow, seeing some deep looks, I know he didn't really do much last week, but still had decent enough usage. RSJ is basically the way that Washington's utilize their tight ends without Logan Thomas. They've just utilized their tight ends as Logan Thomas, which is what we should expect from RSJ today. And then Austin Hooper. I'm going to lean RSJ. I think he's sort of like in the middle range between Hooper and Murrow where Murrow probably has the highest ceiling, Hooper probably has the highest floor just because of volume he might see in that game. But there's all obviously, you know, there's some risks with Cleveland's offense in general, and there's some risks that they just hone in on their only weapons that are really available in Jarvis Landry and Austin Hooper. Let's go with RSJ. I kind of like that game too, to be a little bit higher scoring. Are you confident in starting Melvin Gordon today? It obviously depends on who you'd be starting Melvin Gordon over. So I can't really answer that one. Am I confident? I mean over Ty Johnson, yeah, I'd rather start Melvin Gordon over Jovante Williams. I'd rather go Jovante Williams over Melvin Gordon. Half PBR, DJ Moore or Marquise Brown, Austin Hooper or RSJ. I already answered the Hooper versus RSJ thing. So let's go with RSJ. Also says, thank you for your insight. Thank you for listening. I really appreciate it, Bill. DJ Moore or Marquise Brown. I am going to probably lean Hollywood there just because of what we saw with Cam Newton last time out. Next one. Half PBR, Penny Abdullah or Iguabuque. I can never say his last name. We're going to refer to him as Godwin. And I know that might be confusing throughout the show because of Chris Godwin, but hopefully no one has Chris Godwin questions. Chris Godwin needs to be in your lineup. So we're going Penny, Abdullah or Godwin, right? So here's the deal. Let's break this down. Rashad Penny right now, they're saying that he's going to get more work, but that's obviously some coach speak. And it's not like it's that attractive of a rushing offense, but they do have an attractive matchup. Amir Abdullah, more of a full PPR back in my opinion. You know, someone who's probably going to see pass catching work and could see more work on the ground in early downs than what people realize versus Chuba Hubbard. And then Godwin, you know, he's going to be in a split backfield more than likely with like a Jamar Jefferson. So it's something really like buy into Godwin even though, yeah, there's, there's certainly an argument that they could just utilize him a good bit. I might risk it with Penny, but I think the safest option is Abdullah because I do think that he should see some receiving work for sure. And then there's some upside in the matchup and then there's some upside that he sees some early down work as well. So Abdullah is probably the safest play, but I think Penny has the highest ceiling given that matchup. And what if they do give Rashad Penny a lot more work this week than they did last week. Next one, full PPR need a flex lock it or IUQ. I'm going to lean lock it there. Don't mind IUQ this week though. Happy PR pick two Julio Manny Sanders, MVS. We're going to, oh, I hate to say this. We're going to bench Manny Sanders. It's really tough to to trust Manny Sanders right now, given the way that he's been performing. MVS a really good matchup against Chicago, a team that does not do well against the deep ball. And then Julio Jones coming back from that injury and a plus matchup. I think Julio is fine. I mean, I think that Julio should be, I say he's fine. You know, don't just like throw him in your lineup blindly, but I think that he should see probably seven to nine targets. Pick three and a half PPR, Hollywood, T Higgins, Deandre Hopkins, Amari Cooper, OBJ. Let's throw OBJ out just given the other options here. I think that you have to go with, I'd probably go with T Higgins and Amari Cooper for sure. So this comes down to Deandre Hopkins and Hollywood. I'm going to go with Hollywood over Hopkins as difficult as it is to say. That's probably not a consensus either. But if you want to go Hopkins over Cooper, I understand that too. But I kind of like Cooper today. I think it's tough to bench T Higgins after a 33% target share in each of his last two weeks on average. So it comes down to Brown and Hopkins for me. I think Brown is a little bit more upside, but look, if you want to go Hopkins, big game for them, I would not fault you at all. Hey JJ, thanks. This thing has helped me so much with tough decisions this year. I'm glad that it's helped Jesse. Full PPR, I got to choose between a Lions running back, a Jets running back. Sounds like a riddle or roll the dice on Chase Edmonds. What would JJ do also? Judy or Beasley? I really like Beasley today. I might go Beasley over Judy just because they play similar type roles. I could see Denver going with a pretty run heavy approach. But with the Lions running backs or Jets running backs, I'm not really leaning any sort of direction with who to go after in those backfields. The Jets have an atrocious matchup. The Lions don't have a great, great matchup and they just don't have any bodies in that roster. I don't know if I would roll the dice with Chase Edmonds because it sounds like he's probably not going to go. And even if he goes, I don't know if he's going to see a huge workload. So your guess is as good as mine at this point. I mean, I would maybe go with a Godwin or a Jamar Jefferson just because I don't like that matchup for the Jets running backs. Next question, PPR start to Hilliard, Penny, Ty Johnson, Hasty. I'm going to go with Hilliard and let's take a risk with Penny over Ty Johnson. But again, I mean, we're talking bottom of the barrel players and this is going to come down to coaching decisions. But I think of that group, Hilliard is the one that you need to lock in. Packers are the Saints defense, two points per sack, scoring settings, definitely the Saints against the Jets. Full PPR need a flex, Javante, Edmonds or Ayuk. I don't think that you can play Edmonds because he's a game time decision and these are decent enough options. I would probably go Javante over Ayuk and just hope that they utilize him more than what they were, how they were utilizing him before that Melvin Gordon injury. Full PPR need a flex, Edmonds, Don Trell Hilliard. This is sort of where you draw the line, I think, with whether or not you should start Chase Edmonds. If you're a favorite and you don't need that upside, honestly, I'd probably just go with Don Trell Hilliard regardless, but just because the reports aren't very optimistic about Chase Edmonds playing. And again, if he does play, we can't just assume that he has a normal workload. Need three and a half PPR. You got Jeff Wilson, Aaron Jones, Russell Gage, Jerry Judy or Julio Jones. I would probably go with Jeff Wilson, Aaron Jones and Julio. I think the other guys are fine. That's just the direction I'd go. Half PPR, Godwin, Amenra, St. Brown or Geiten. Let's go with the upside with Jalen Geiten. Beatwriters are saying that he's probably going to be the number two guy for them this week with Keenan Allen sideline. He has big playability. I just think that there's more upside with him than the other two there. Godwin or Michael Gallup. In PPR, I'm going with Michael Gallup over Godwin Igwe Buke. Dallas or the Kansas City defense. Thanks. I'd probably go with the Dallas D. PPR need to sit to Lockett Higgins, Javante Williams, Sonya Michelle Jeff Wilson. Okay, this is tough. Full BPR. I think you got to start the wide receivers. This comes down to Sonya Michelle and Javante Williams because you're sitting Jeff Wilson of this group. I think that you play Sonya Michelle over Javante Williams. And I'm saying that because he's more than likely going to have his backfield to himself. I understand Javante Williams is a better matchup. And it would not shock me if Williams ends up outscoring Sonya Michelle this week. But I do think that it's logical to say that Sonya Michelle is in store for more work with Melvin Gordon back. So given it's PPR, I think you can go Lockett Higgins and Sony. If you don't want to have the high variance of Tyler Lockett, then just swap him for Javante Williams. Next one is PPR winning in Javante Williams. Jeff Wilson, Davante Freeman, Valdes Scantling in the lineup. Would you start Guyton Aminra or Jamar Jefferson over any of those guys? I would not. I mean, think of it this way too. Guyton's probably the most attractive of that group. And you're basically hoping him to have a role that Marca's Valdes Scantling already has. So no, I think that you're good, John. Next one, Jeff Wilson or Judy. I would go with Jeff Wilson over Judy and then Hooper, RSJ or Everett. Everett's another guy. Great, great streaming week this week for tight ends. Everett's another guy. I love this week. I'd probably go RSJ of this group, but I would not fault you going any of these directions. I don't think there's a wrong answer here necessarily. It's probably, probably going to be a wrong answer at the end of the day, but from a process standpoint, there's really no wrong answer. New Orleans, the chargers are Denver defense. I would probably go with New Orleans, but it's fine if you want to go the other two directions because again, very, very good options. It's a great, great week for defensive and tight end streaming and not a bad week for quarterback streaming either, especially if you have Taysum. I have to bench one, Don trail Hilliard, Ty Johnson and Jamar Jefferson. I'm already starting foreman. Yeah. If you're already starting foreman, I have a hard time going with Don trail Hilliard. So again, you know, I mentioned it earlier. I probably lean the lions over the jets just because of that matchup for the jets, but so let's go with Jamar. But it's, you know, there's a dark throw situation. I have no confidence in that. I'm sorry. Also our tie, Johnson shares threatened by Austin. Yeah. I mean, the whole back hill could be very muddy. They're probably going to use the Michael P. Rhine too. I need to and full PPR Bateman, Allen Robinson, Jaylin, Guyton for shot, Paramount, Laquan, Treadwell or Zay Jones. Wolf. Yeah. That's how I'm, that's how I'm feeling too, Bradley. Those are some rough, rough options. I would probably say to go with Guyton and Bateman. And I, I know it's crazy that Allen Robinson is in this question, but he hasn't done anything this year and he's coming off an injury. Bateman saw his, his routes run drop this past week. That's not a good sign, but division game, decent enough matchup and then Guyton without Keenan Allen. Let's go with Guyton and Bateman. Russell Wilson, Taysum Hill, Cam Newton or Joe Burrow. Not Cam. I wouldn't put Cam in this, in this tier, but I think the other three are all in the same tier. I'd probably go Taysum Hill, but love Joe Burrow against a banged up San Francisco secondary. I think he's a really good GPP option in DFS. And then Russell Wilson, a good play too. Another decent option in DFS as well against Houston. So three good options, but I'm going to go Taysum Hill. Need three. Wilson, Edmonds, Aaron Jones or Dillon leaning towards benching Edmonds in this comeback week thing. Yeah, that's fine. I mean, if you want to just capture the, the Packers backfield, I usually don't like doing that. You know, I mentioned that just, just now with Tennessee's backfield, but at least it's the Packers backfield where they can generate a lot of points. Mike Williams or Amari Cooper, they're both very good options this week. I probably prefer, oh man, I probably prefer Amari, but I think they're both very, very good options. Jeff Wilson or AJ Dillon in full PPR. I'm going to lean Jeff Wilson there. I just think his touch count is a little bit, his ceiling, touch ceiling is a little bit higher. Better duo for Fandall, Kamera Geithen or Mike Williams, Fornette. I'm going to go with Mike Williams and Fornette there. I'm going to take a sip of water real quick. Hey JJ, thanks for everything. Do I keep my Stafford, Michelle and Cupstack, or do I go with Tasim over Stafford? It depends. I mean, if you're a favorite and you don't want to put all your eggs in the Rams basket, then you can go with Tasim Hill over Stafford because they're probably in the same tier just from a ranking standpoint. But if you need some upside and you need that stack, it makes sense to go with Stafford. So it just depends on what your situation is. Again, from a process standpoint, I don't think there's an obvious answer here. There's no wrong answer. Start Tasim Hill or Matthew Stafford. Exact same thing that I just answered. So if you play Stafford, you have to drop something, then just play Tasim Hill. Next one, Godwin or Daryl Williams. I'd probably go with Daryl Williams, given his PPR upside and what we saw this past week. But if you want to go with Godwin, there's just a lot of risk there. I can't pretend to sit here on the show and say like, this is exactly how the Lions or this is exactly how the Jets are going to break down their backfield or even the 49ers to some degree. I think we can make educated guesses. We can make a better guess with a team like the 49ers because we have some sample size to work off of and we've seen these players in certain roles throughout the season, whereas we really haven't seen the Lions in this position before. We haven't really seen the Jets in this position before, so it's a lot more difficult. I think that Godwin, I guess, has more ambiguity, so there's more upside there, but I think Daryl Williams is a little bit safer. Choose one in full PPR, Darnell Mooney, Van Jefferson, Cole Beasley or Amon Ross, St. Brown. I would probably go with Van, but in full PPR, Cole Beasley is mighty attractive. I really like Beasley today. I think Beasley probably has a better floor than Van. So if you need more of a floor, maybe go with Beasley, but I think Van still has a pretty good ceiling, just given the way that they use him in that offense. Happy PR, start one running back. You got Alex Collins. You got Godwin. You got Jamar Jefferson, Ty Johnson, Rashad Penny. Start one tight ends. All right. I'm going to go with Rashad Penny, just for the upside and the potential. And we're going to buy into coach speak because the other guys don't have any sort of obvious ceiling and usage at tight end. We're going to go with RSJ over Merrow, but I do think Merrow might have a little bit better of a ceiling than RSJ does. I just think RSJ in total is the better play. PPR, Noah Phant, Cole Cmenter, Austin Hooper. I'm going to go with Austin Hooper there. PPR, Igweb UK, Josh Reynolds or Amir Abdullah. In full PPR, let's go with a wide receiver. I'm going to go with Josh Reynolds. Defense. You got Denver, Tennessee, the Chargers or Carolina. Let's go with Denver. It's just a really good matchup. Non-PPR, start two. Igweb UK, Abdullah or Dalton Schultz. Let's go with, let's sit Abdullah there. Choose one and a half PPR. Trayquan Smith, Zay Jones or Donovan Peoples-Jones. I will start DPJ there and let's go for some big play upside against a banged up and beatable Raven secondary all of a sudden. Jeff Wilson or Dontrell Hilliard, Bruce Ast. I'm going to go with Jeff Wilson there. A running back need one and a half PPR. Amir Abdullah, Jamar Jefferson or Godwin. And half PPR, I think you make the case for either Abdullah. And I think I'm leaning more and more going Jamar over Godwin, but let's just go with Abdullah there and hope they utilize him more. If there's a negative game script, you could see a lot of looks out of the back field. Wilson Jr. or Foreman in PPR. I'm going to go with Wilson. Non-PPR, Flex, Hunter Renfro, Ty Johnson, Jeff Wilson. I answered this one earlier. I'm going with Jeff Wilson, I think is the play, but you can make the argument for Hunter Renfro. I talked about this earlier. Guillotine in PPR. One running back. Gibson Patterson or Barkley. I think I answered this one earlier as well. Going with Gibson. Seattle or Kansas City defense. I'm going with Seattle. Standard scoring. Emmanuel Sanders or Amir Abdullah. Josh Palmer or Jalen Guyton. I'm going with Guyton for the Chargers wide receivers. And I will go with Emmanuel Sanders over Abdullah. Javante Higgins or McLaurin in the Flex, Non-PPR. Probably Higgins. Oh, Non-PPR. I'm going Javante. Let's go Javante. Heinecke or Karte, but it says Karte as a fix of the typo. Let's go with Karte over Heinecke, I think. Yeah, let's go with Karte. Lockett, Hastie, Judy Forman, PPR pick two. I am going to go with Lockett and not Hastie. Lockett and Judy in a full PPR league. Pick two and a half PPR. Chase, I'm assuming that's Jamar Chase. Higgins, McLaurin, CEH. Thanks so much. I mean, I honestly think that you can get away with going with both Bengals wide receivers, but if you want to split it up a little bit, you can bench. I mean, I mean, it's tough. I don't know which Bengals wide receiver you would want to bench. I think Jamar Chase just has such a crazy ceiling each week. I guess you would have to bench Chase for McLaurin, but I'm just going to go with both Bengals receivers, I think. PPR, pick one, Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon, Sonya Michelle. This one's tough too. You can't play AJ Dillon over Aaron Jones, I don't think. Sonya Michelle going to see the backfield to himself. I think that he has the highest floor and Jones probably has the most attractive ceiling, just giving game script and such, but I might go with Sonya Michelle because I think he's a little bit safer. PPR, Evan Ingram, Austin Hooper, or Gerald Everett. Again, love all these. I don't know about Ingram as much, but love Everett and Austin Hooper. I think Hooper is a better bet to see volume, but I think Everett is a little bit more attractive from a ceiling standpoint. Let's go with Hooper in a full PPR league. Quarterback, Taysom Hill, Russell Wilson, or Aaron Rodgers. I already answered this one earlier. Hey, JJ, thanks for all the content. Dak Prescott or Taysom Hill today. I'm going with Dak overtays him. I like Dak today. Full PPR, Superflex, N2 from Russell Wilson, Aaron Jones, Sake 1, Barkley, and Sonya Michelle. How are these your options? In a Superflex league, I'm going Russell Wilson, and I'm probably going to say Sake 1 because of the volume he could see, but I can make an argument for the other two. Running Max, 12 team PPR league, Tyler Higby, Austin Hooper, Murrow, or RSJ. I think I answered this one. No, maybe I didn't. I'm going to go with RSJ there. Hey, JJ, half PPR pick two from Monty. Is that Montgomery? Barkley and Mike Evans also. Hill or Stafford at quarterback. Answered the Hill or Stafford earlier. I think they're in the same tier. I guess Hill is probably the safer play with his rushing ability, or higher upside play, I should say. Half PPR pick two from David Montgomery, Sake 1, Barkley, Mike Evans. I'm going to go with Montgomery and Evans. Sake 1 is safer than Evans. Let's go with the Running Max. That's half PPR. Let's go with the Running Max. Full PPR need to flex to OBJ, Kyle Pitts, Brandon Ayuk, MVS, Rex Berkin. Let's go with Brandon Ayuk and OBJ. Julio Jones, Jameson Crowder, MVS Beasley, start one in full PPR. I'd probably go with Julio there, but I love the other three, actually, this week. I think they're all in really good spots. Half PPR need one flex, Russell Gage, Jeff Wilson, or Jamar Jefferson. Really appreciate your content and help every week. Thank you. Thanks, Janet. I am going to go with Jeff Wilson there. Half PPR, Odell Gallup, or MVS. I guess I'm going to go OBJ, but I think MVS is really tempting there. PPR, Titan Premium, pick two. Julio Jones, Kyle Pitts, Devante Freeman, DJ Moore. With Titan Premium, I think that you can make the argument for Pitts. He's just not doing anything. I'm going to go with Julio and Devante. Win and I'm in. Lose and I'm out. Need to bench one. Would love your input. Godwin, DJ Moore, Deebo Lam. How do you need to bench one? I will bench DJ Moore there. Hi, JJ. Half PPR, pick three out of Jamar Chase, Sonya Michelle, DJ Moore, AJ, Dylan Lockett. Thanks very much. I will pick Jamar Chase, Sonya Michelle, and Tyler Lockett there. Saints or the Broncos defense. I'm going to go with the Saints. Jeff Wilson or Judy and PPR. I think I'm going to lean Jeff Wilson, but it's close in a full PPR league. Half PPR, bench one. Hopkins, Lockett, Michelle, Jeff Wilson. Let's bench Wilson, but I think that you make an argument for Lockett. How down, or Hopkins, honestly, how down on Cortland Sutton are you? Him or Julio, AJ Green or Guyton? I would play Julio over Cortland Sutton at this point. Half PPR, one Alex Collins, Burkhead, Abdullah, or Jamaical Hasty. Let's go with Burkhead there. PPR, you've got Godwin, Agua Buque, or Jamar Jefferson, any Seattle running back over them. I might take a chance with Rashad Penny over those guys, because if you think about it, positive game script is more likely for Seattle in this case, and if they're right, or if what they're saying from a coach speak perspective ends up being right in some way, I mean, you could easily see more work than both of those guys in a better matchup. So I'm going to lean Rashad Penny there, which is risky for sure, but I think it's risky to play the Detroit guys too. Bench one and half PPR, Gallup Cooks, Jeff Wilson, Dylan currently playing Aaron Jones in CD. Currently using or facing, if you're using those guys, I'm going to currently playing, I'm going to say that you're using those guys. So don't go with AJ, Dylan, if you're using Aaron Jones, you need to bench one of these guys. I'm going to bench Gallup. Yeah. Oh no, Dylan. Sorry, you can bench Dylan. Half PPR, Penny or St. Brown? I'm going to go St. Brown, probably a little bit safer. Stafford or Taysum, that's a question I've gotten a ton on this show. They're in the same tier. Taysum has the ceiling, I think, just because of his rushing. Matt Ryan or Justin Fields, Matt Ryan, full point PPR, Lockett or Higgins. I am going to go with Higgins. I think you have to give him his recent usage. Full PPR, Chase Higgins, Renfro, Javante, Seyquan, Bench one. In a full PPR league, I think you can bench Javante. I don't love saying that because obviously you can go in the opposite direction. I talked about it on my podcast this week. Javante has a wide range of outcomes. Of course he could blow up this week, but he could also be back in his old role and just be a flex, flex play. Whereas the other guys here have really good workloads. So I think that I'm benching Javante there. LaVisca Chanel, Nick Westbrook, Keene, Gerald Everett or David Johnson and PPR pick two. I'm going to go with David Johnson's out. Gerald Everett and I'm going to go with LaVisca. Kyler or Dak, opponent in a CD. I'm going to go with Kyler. Hi, JJ Dillon or Jeff Wilson in full PPR. I'm going with Jeff Wilson, half PPR, Alex Collins, Rashad Penny or Rex Burkhead. Again, I'm going to risk it with Rashad Penny. It could blow up and you could not do a whole lot, but that's what we're working with in this tier. Full point PPR, Taysum Hill or Kyler Murray. I'm going with Kyler Murray. JJ, an interesting one to open with. Sorry, it's not, I've been doing the show for a while now. PPR, Jameson Crowder versus the Saints. Now that Corey Davis is, okay. So you got Jameson Crowder against the Saints or Jerry Judy. I would still probably go, actually, I'm going to go with Crowder. I like the match against the Saints in the slot. Full PPR, Higgins, Chase Renfrew, I already answered that one. PPR, Burkhead, Chanel or Hasty. In a full PPR league, I'm going to just go with Chanel, even though I don't love the Jags offense at all. Half PPR, pick two, AJ Dillon, Sonya Michelle, Darnell Mooney, Jeff Wilson. I'm going to go with Sonya Michelle and Jeff Wilson. Will Edmunds play? I'm leaning no, but it's still a game time decision. Half PPR, start one in the flex, Hasty, Ty Johnson, MVS or Guyton. I'm going to go with MVS there. Mixon or Sony and half PPR, it's hard to bench Joe Mixon. Detroit, Jamar Jefferson, Wilson or MVS. I'm assuming that's Jeff Wilson. Let's go Jeff. I need two in PPR, Abdullah, Galladay, Callaway. Those are all dark throws. I'm going to go with Galladay and Callaway. But yeah, I mean, this is just, it's tough to really answer that with confidence. Half PPR, number two, running back, need one. Rashad Penney, Meir Abdullah, Godwin Agua Buque or Jeff Wilson. I'm going with Jeff Wilson. Taysum Hiller, Tom Brady. I'm going with Tom Brady. Sterling, Chepard or Dalton Schultz, non-PPR. With everyone healthy for Dallas, I understand this question. I think I might actually go with Sterling, Chepard because I'm worried about Dalton Schultz's real workload in this game. Half PPR, start two, Sip one, Javante Williams, Elliott Fournette. I am sitting Javante Williams there. Elliott should see a lot of work without Tony Pollard. Morning, JJ. Half PPR, MVS, Manny Sanders or Jameson Crowder. I think that the safest option is Crowder. The highest ceiling is MVS. Just depends on your lineup. Sip one, half PPR, Sake one, Barkley, DJ Moore or Sonya Michelle. I'm sitting DJ Moore. Start two and a half PPR, Javante Williams, AJ Dillon, Jarvis Landry. I am going to sit AJ Dillon. AJJ would love your advice. Bench one, Godwin, DJ Moore, Debo Lam. I already answered this one earlier. I'm going DJ Moore. Heineke or Cam at rest of season. Can't think rest of season right now. Alex Collins or Burke head and a half PPR. I think I'm leaning Burke head there. AJJ winning. I'm in. Javante Williams or Jeff Wilson, the flex spot standard scoring. I'd probably still go Javante in this case. Hooper or Foster Morel. Let's go Foster Morel. Need two. Mayfield, Field, Jimmy G. Let's go Jimmy G and Mayfield. PPR picked two. Barkley, Hubbard, Russell Gage, Devontae Freeman, Jeff Wilson. I'm going to go Sake one for sure. And then I'm probably going to go with Devontae. Hey JJ, full PPR. Start one. Julio, Christian Kirk or Ty Johnson. I'm going Julio. Jeff Wilson or Devontae Freeman in full PPR. I think I'm going Devontae. Hey JJ, full PPR, Crowder or Julio. Let's go with Julio over Crowder, but I do love Crowder this week. Taysom or Kyler. We're going Kyler. Montgomery, Chubb, Javante and Sony pick three. I will bench Javante, I guess. Bench one, Godwin. I already answered that one. Higgins, Renfro, Chase, Sake one, Bench two and full PPR. I think I answered this one earlier, but I'll do it again real quick. I'm going to bench Javante and I guess Renfro. Six point passing, touchdown, Taysom or Lamar is what the person, no, actually that's not what he says, but Taysom or Lamar, I'm going with Lamar. The next one is Taysom or Russ. I'm going with Taysom over Russ, I think, but you can make an argument if it's six point passing, touchdown league. I don't really have a strong preference. Have PPR, Godwin, Iguabuque, Amon Ross, St. Brown or Marquez Skalding. Marquez about MVS, I'm assuming that is. I'm going to go with MVS there. Pick two, running backs in full PPR, Aaron Jones, David Montgomery, Javan Pente, Javante. I will bench Javante in that case, I think. Need to shout out Living the Stream underrated podcast. Thank you. Have PPR, pick two, A.J. Dillon, Allen Robinson, Brandon Iguque, Michael Gallup. I am benching Allen Robinson and I'm probably benching Gallup. Have PPR, I need two, Jeff Wilson, Van Jefferson, A.J. Dillon or Brandon Iguque. Let's go with the first two. Actually, sorry. Sorry. Let's go with Iguque and let's go with Iguque over Van. Pick two, full PPR, Iguque, Mike, Iguque, Michelle, Crowder, A.J. Dillon. I'm going to go with the first two. Full PPR, I need two. Iguque, Judy. Well, those are the two that you're going to go with. Pick two, between Hubbard, Hilliard and Jeff Wilson. I'm going to go, if it's a PPR league, I'd go Hilliard over Hubbard. Jeff Wilson's the play of these three, I think. I'd go Hilliard over Hubbard if it's a full PPR league. If it's a standard league, I might go Hubbard over Hilliard. Have PPR, St. Brown, M.V.S. or Godwin. I'm going M.V.S. I'm assuming that's Godwin and Iguque for the record. Montgomery, Chubb, Javante and Sony pick three. I already answered that one earlier. M.V.S. or Burkhead. I'm going to go with M.V.S. over Burkhead. Judy or Knox and PPR. Probably going to go Judy, but I like Dawson Knox today. A.J. Dillon, have PPR, Brandon Cooks versus Kenny Galladale. Let's go with Brandon Cooks. Have PPR, bench one. Godwin. DJ Moore, I already answered that one. Pick two and non-PPR. A.J. Dillon, Wilson Jr., Jamar Chase, Higgins, DJ Moore. I think I answered this one too, but I'm going to go with the Cincinnati wide receivers. Can I play M.V.S. over Jeff Wilson while already starting Javante? I'd play Jeff Wilson. Are we dropping Swift with a possible IR news? No, don't drop them until the news is official. Have PPR, bench one. Jamar Chase, Hopkins. Lock it, Michelle Jeff Wilson. I'm going to bench Jeff Wilson there. Jamante Williams or CEH. Probably go with Jamante Williams and just go for the potential upside, but it is 1230. That's the last question I can answer because we are moving forward and talking a little bit more sports betting, but also talking some fantasy in there with Ryan and Jessica. They will be hopping on in just a second. But if you guys are not following Fandall across social media, whether it's YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc., etc., make sure you're doing that now. I'm also on Twitter. I'm at late round QB over there. You guys can hit me up and ask some questions on there in the next half hour. Hopefully I'll be able to answer them. But I believe we've got Ryan and Jessica hopping on in just a second. There's Jessica. What's going on? Hi, how are you? And there's Ryan. All right, guys. Take it from here. We got it, JJ. We got it for you. What's going on guys? Week 14 is here and we are here with the Fandall countdown to kickoff show as we, I can't say usually do, Jessica, but hey, we've done it more often than not for the people. Shout out to everybody who's been rocking along with the Fandall channel. We are here. I'm here with Jessica grid iron. You can find her at grid iron and wine on Twitter. Ryan Williams, you can find me on Twitter at Ryan Alexander underscore W. And we're here talking the best bets on the Fandall sportsbook. And Jessica, we have a, we have an interesting, weird slated games that we're going to discuss here. We only got one game in the 12, 12 p.m. because I'm central time in three 25 afternoon slate. We only have one game that has an over of over 50 points there between the Buccaneers and the bills. And we also have some significant line movement already in these games. So before we get going and guys, make sure you get your questions in. We'll, we'll try and get to those for the duration of the show. But Jessica, talk to me about this slate in general and what kind of leans that you have at this point as we're pretty much like 30 minutes away from lock. Yeah, definitely. There was, it was, there was a couple games. It was a little hard to, I had to stay away from a few and then there's a couple I like. And then just like you mentioned, a lot of lines jumped too. So one of the games that I really like in this morning slate, and I know this is hard for me to say, but I'm going with the Jags. I like him at plus eight and a half in this matchup. I know this sounds crazy, but you have to look at these teams, right? I mean, then this is a divisional matchup. So this is something you have to really keep in mind here. The Titans, though, they're dealing with so many injuries offensively and it's clearly showing, especially in the last three weeks, they're only averaged 16.3 points per game. And they do have a new solid run game in that dual threat in Hillard and Foreman, which we have seen and the Jags though defensively, they have a middle of the pack rush defense. Okay. So that's something to keep in mind. They're ranked 17th in Rush DVOA. And then looking at Ryan Tannehill, right, he's been plagued by turnovers all season long. Okay. He's making poor decisions. He's having misfires. He's had five interceptions in the last two games and 13 on the season. Now, I know who Leo is starting. Don't get me wrong. And that could be a great advantage for them. However, you know, is he really 100% how much of a threat is he really going to be in this matchup? I know it's a Jags. So here's my positive notes that I can put on the Jags, even though it's really hard for me to say I've been fading them all season. But when you look at them, okay, Trevor Lawrence, he actually has a pretty good offensive line that's been perfect protecting him so far this season. They've only allowed 22 sacks so far, and that's tied for the eighth fewest. And he is capable of having a good game, and he has the arm to do it. Now, I know last week he got eaten alive. Okay, by the, but that was the Rams, right? And the Rams have a top 10 secondary where the Titans have a bottom 10. So the Titans defense, their secondary is struggling, as well as their front seven. So hopefully with all of that, Trevor Lawrence is going to be able to have some extra time. He's going to be able to get the ball down the field. I'm hoping Chenolts will be able to be able to break away and get open. And they're going to be able to keep this game a little close by no means by saying the Jags are going to win. I just feel like they will be able to cover with this eight and a half spread. Yeah, the interesting story lines coming out of Jess Jacksonville, right? Jessica, we've had like Urban Meyer, you know, all throughout the season. He's kind of had his antics, but you know, just recently there were reports of him getting into an argument with the assistant coaches, getting into an argument with Marvin Jones. And, you know, maybe that's affecting this team as they're on the four game losing streak. It feels like forever since they beat the Bills, which nobody expected to have happened, knocking people out of their survival pools. But I do kind of somewhat get where you're coming from here when we're looking at that eight and a half spread. They have played, you know, competitively in some games, you know, not always getting blown blown the doors off of them by double digit points. And and yeah, the Julio is coming back with this Tennessee team, like you said, with Ryan Tana, he just hasn't been able to get right. Maybe this is that get right spot for him. And maybe Trevor Lawrence on the other side can help to keep it close. But this defense on Tennessee, you know, they really have been reeling as of late, and this has been a team that you can definitely take advantage of. So if Trevor Lawrence is able, you know, to find the viscous, you know, hopefully they get James Robinson going and hopefully they get Marvin Jones going, to be honest with you, because he hasn't looked great as it has been over the past couple of weeks, but definitely like getting into that line. Guys, we're talking about the best bets here on the FanDuel Sportsbook. You can get all of your action here on the FanDuel Sportsbook. Look, they even got boosts for you guys. If you guys really love plus money, if you really like trying to take advantage of what they're offering, look at these odds boosts that the FanDuel Sportsbook is offering some great way to get action. Even if you want to play light, some light action there is always fun to do. Jessica, I also had had seen you talk about the Lana Falcons. This is an another interesting game that I like to, that I'm looking to target. Carolina is one of the defenses that I've been looking to target from a DFS perspective, just because Matt Ryan hasn't been looking right, but this is a guy in Matt Ryan who, you know, he is a professional. He's been in the legal long time and he can kind of just find himself into spots where he's able to win when you doubt him. So what makes you intrigued by the two and a half line there that Atlanta is getting today? Yeah, definitely. So you have the Panthers that went on their buy, right? And during their, during their buy, they announced that CMC is done for the year as well as cornerback Dante Jackson. And also during that timeframe, they went ahead and decided to fire offensive coordinator Joe Brady midseason. So with all that, they then went on to announce that they are planning on going back to having an explosive run first offense with us, even though CMC is out for the year, which that's Hubbard who has played well when, you know, CMC has been out, but this is the, they're going up against the Falcons, where this is the divisional rival, right? And then you look at the Falcons where Matt Ryan, he is capable of having good games. Okay, we've, we've seen this and it's unfortunate that it's his offensive line that is struggling here. It's, that's leaving him to constantly run for his life. And when they did match up against the Panthers early on in the season, he did have, it was tough for him and he does the attack duo of Reddick and Burns to be ready for. But if he's able to, you know, create some space and he's able to get the ball down the field, we've seen that he has great chemistry with Russell Gage who can be explosive. Russell Gage does have a Stefan Gilmore to worry about, but if he's being covered, then what can he, who can rely on next? Kyle Pitts, who's been doing a really great job as a rookie this year. And then let's talk about Cordo Patterson, who he is having a great gate, you know, a great season, you know, being on the Falcons. And he's actually been pretty amazing at kickoff returns as well. So that's what the Falcons need to do. They need to establish a run game and then they can rely on Matt Ryan to take care of the rest because, you know, he's a veteran, he knows what to do and he's familiar with this team. And then let's just look at the Panthers offensively, like I had mentioned, you know, their run game is struggling, of course. And yeah, Cam's back. Okay, we know this, but it's Cam Newton. And he's back to all of the same ways that we all expected Cam to be. Okay. And yeah, I know this Falcons defense is definitely struggling at times. And of course, their secondary looked terrible last week. But again, that was Tom Brady. Okay, Tom Brady is Tom Brady is, you know, his own self of an elite, amazing athlete. Okay. And this is Cam Newton going up against this secondary. So I don't see him being nearly, nearly as explosive. And that's why I like the Falcons in this game. I think they'll be able to keep up. I mean, the only thing they're gonna have to worry about is his defense. But like I said, give me the veteran quarterback Matt, Matt Ryan with all his weapons. Yeah, I think that core Daryl Patterson is really the key to the Atlanta offense today. You're looking at him plus one 10 to score an anytime touchdown on the fan dual sports book. Absolutely love getting some action there, even though he has the shortest odds to score a touchdown. He just is so such a catalyst for them. And Matt Ryan has seen to favor him between the 20s in the red zone. It does not matter that this guy is going to get the ball. Mike Davis, who actually ironically enough kind of finds himself in a small little revenge game, having played for Carolina last year, filling in for CMC as some of us remember, if you had him in season long league sees, you know, kind of been an afterthought there. But if you like some action on him, he's plus 350. If you can talk yourself into the narrative. But yeah, an interesting game there, as we just saw, you know, you talked about Cam Newton, Jessica, we just saw him get benched, you know, DJ Walker not too long ago. So, you know, really a lot kind of riding on the shoulders here, I will be interested to see what they do without O.C. Joe Brady being there, just getting fired a week ago. Let's talk about some of these other games here on the Slade in the afternoon, or I'm sorry, in the morning portion of it. And you know, shout out to everybody, make sure you guys are getting your questions in. I see Bethany Peters rocking with us as always here. Fan duo favorite. Shout out to Bethany saying hi to myself and Jessica. We appreciate you rocking with us, Bethany. And we appreciate everybody rocking along there. JJ kind of hold down the fort and we're here taking over on Betz. Talking about another divisional matchup here, Jessica, I wanted to get your thoughts on Baltimore and Cleveland. You know, this team just played 15 days ago, which is kind of weird. I mean, you know, you saw Cleveland play them and then I think I'm not sure they had a buy or they played another team and now they're playing them here again. They do get a home matchup there that was kind of a weird game. I think only 26 total points scored in that game. Just both teams couldn't get anything done, but we had seen last year in 2020, these two teams meet up and be very explosive. Baker had some of his best games on the year against this team. This defense is really kind of struggling. Lamar, you know, if he's able to manage the Blitz, which that's what the teams have been doing against them as of lately as he's going to be in the pocket, just Blitz this guy. He might be forced to run. What's your kind of lean on this game here with Cleveland and Baltimore? A game that has a ton of implications, not only in the AFC North, but the AFC playoff picture in general. Yeah. So I definitely lean the Ravens in this matchup. I like it. You know, you have the Browns where they have been struggling all season offensively and with Baker being a big part of that. And like you mentioned, they are coming off of a buy. So they can be well rested. And we know that they love running the ball, but they are facing a tough front seven. And you know, how rested is Baker? How good is his arm? And he is going up against a weaker secondary. So it's possible that they can be relying on him in this matchup. And Lamar, yeah, he's kind of been nothing special this last month. And we all saw what happened last week, unfortunately, too, with the Ravens. But they have a strong run game, okay? And they should be able to utilize this in this matchup. And they should be able to charge the trenches. Then they can rely on Lamar to throw when needed. The Brown secondary is also struggling, too. So this could be a matchup, too, for a great bounce back game for Lamar to be able to be like, oh, okay, there's Lamar. We saw early on in the season that had, that was able to establish such a great game with his arm. So that's why it's a lean for me, but I like the Ravens. Yeah, I do, too. I mean, anytime that we're, you know, the Ravens, they're just a weird team. I mean, you know, they're the two-point conversion away from us, you know, really talking about them kind of controlling their own destiny, really controlling the destiny of the AFC there, but tough loss to Pittsburgh last week. But now, you know, they find themselves on the road here, but they've had some success against Cleveland in the past. So I am interested to get some action there. We couldn't, you know, be doing the slate any justice if we didn't talk about the New Orleans, states and New York Jets game. We got Taysum Hill, who's starting yet again at the quarterback position. We finally get Alvin Camara back after missing multiple weeks. A couple of injuries that they're dealing with, I think, you know, in the past catching realm, but, you know, the Jets as well dealing with injuries. Elijah Moore, the stud rookie JJ's favorite guy to talk about. He's going to be out. So we're looking at like Denzel Mims being activated, who, you know, is forgotten draft pick from last year. Keelan Cole and Jamison Crowder are going to be the starters. This is a weird game that I've had trouble kind of dissecting on where to go. How do you feel about this game in general, Jessica, as we look at the Saints being four and a half point favorites here? Yes. Okay. So it's just this game is kind of funny. I almost wanted to bet on it because all I have three models that I go off of. And all of them say the Saints is the best play of the week here. And that's, but the Saints, I swear, are like maybe, I don't know, like that late night booty call that maybe some people get that you're like, you know it's bad for you, but sometimes you just want to, but then you know what's going to happen the next day. They're going to, you know, it's going to piss you off, right? And that's how the Saints have been with me all season long because I've, I hype them up and I'm like, they're going to cover and then, you know, they do me dirty. And so I, but yes, Camara is back, which is great for them. We, Hill, as we can see, Taysom Hill, so I would lean the Saints in this. Okay. Taysom Hill, he's good for running the ball. We saw this, but you know, we also saw the amount of interceptions that happened last week. So he's, you know, he, all of a sudden he looks great. And then you're like, oh, there's Taysom Hill. Okay. Uh, where the, then here they are facing the Jets and you know, the Jets are one of the worst teams in the league. So overall, this game doesn't sound exciting to me by any means, even though a part of me is like, yes, the Saints will dominate. So if I had to make a play, I'm going to go with Saints on this, but that's all I have to say about it. No, I love that. Hey, the, you know, the Saints, the Saints screwed me out of survivor losing to the Giants when they were, I forget how many point favorites they were, but you know, a huge upset there early on in the season. So the Saints, uh, it's hard for me to put my hard-earned dollars on the Saints going forward. But yeah, I was looking at this line and I was like, wait a second, like even with the Jets being at home, I mean, Zach Wilson, this guy, you know, listen, love them or hate them. He's just really struggled to kind of grasp what this offense has been giving him. And granted that the offense hasn't really been healthy around him. So not giving him much to work with. You're looking at the passing lines for these two guys, Zach Wilson at 214 and a half, Taysum Hill under 200 at 199 and a half. So, you know, we have to look at the ground game, uh, for these two teams and possibly where they're going to be able to, to make their bread potentially. Um, but yeah, just, I wanted to talk about that game because I felt like that was an interesting one. And a big one for DFS too. As you know, I know people will be talking about Taysum, even as you talked about the interceptions last week, this guy still finds a way to make plays happen. I mean, even in garbage time, just throwing that late bomb touchdown when they had no business even, you know, still playing, uh, to win. Um, it's just interesting. Jessica, uh, I wanted to touch on this line movement as we keep talking here. We're at pretty much the halfway point. And we've had, uh, seven games with two plus point line movement throughout the week, which is, I just found that to be absolutely incredible. Um, the, you know, most of these games have dropped, uh, but I think the only one that has seen upward movement is if we go into the afternoon slate there, that's going to be the San Fran, uh, San Fran and Cincinnati game. So we got Joe Burrow. He's kind of banged up dealing with the pinky, the 49ers, you know, Jimmy Garoppolo as always the talking heads are just talking about, you know, 49ers can't win anything with them, but you look at his record, you know, being a starter and, you know, it's, it's over 500. So something has to give here a Cincinnati as we talked about the AFC North with the Cleveland, Cleveland and Baltimore game, like Cincinnati still isn't, you know, in position where they can control their destiny into division. Uh, they're two and a half dogs at home to the 49ers here who are getting Debo Samuel back, but have some running backs injured 48 and a half, uh, point or 48 and a half total on the over and under. What are your thoughts here with this game? You know, I would, I would lean San Francisco in this. I did see, you know, a lot of things you bring up a lot of good points and looking at both teams, they both lost last week. Uh, the bangles were blown out where the Niners kept it close. And you know, how bad is burrows finger? Really? And, you know, is it how bad is it going to affect him in this matchup? And San Francisco is the better team in this overall, though. You know, they're more physical on both sides of the ball. They do have a strong run game and we do see what Jimmy G can do. Uh, the bangles, the defense, they're, they're, and the bangles defense, they're falling apart. Okay. They will be tough to keep, and how are they going to be able to keep up with all these San Francisco weapons that they have to push? I feel like Kittle should have a great game in this matchup. Uh, yeah. So it's hard. It's hard. But at the end of the day, I'd say San Fran, like I said, they're just the better team over all across the board. Yes. And yeah, I feel that, I feel that way too. You know, they, they really play good, but that's going to be, I really want to be tuned into that game. Um, as we have, you know, only four games on the afternoon slate here. And then we have the other one that is supposed to be the fantasy bonanza that everybody's expecting for it. We got Tom Brady at home going against Josh Allen, uh, in the boys here who really, you know, the bills have to come out and prove something to us, right? Jessica, they're three and a half point dogs here traveling on the road to Tampa, um, coming up of a short week and you know, shout out to you, Jessica, I saw you, I saw you, you know, doing victory laps for that plus three New England game. I was, I was on that as well too. Uh, definitely love getting some action there. But now they have to, you know, travel on the road down south to Tampa Bay, um, against, you know, Tom Brady's in playoff mode right now. Uh, this Buffalo bills team, they're kind of seeing the AFC East, you know, with or away from them with that loss to the New England Patriots. What, uh, if anything, can we draw from this game, uh, with a 52 and a half point, um, total as well, uh, Vegas expecting a lot of points to be scored here. What say you, Jessica? Yeah, definitely. So I like the bills in this matchup at plus three and a half. It's kind of funny when you, yeah, when you look at some of their records against the spread so far in the season, you have the bills where they're four and two on the road, as well as being the spread by an average of 9.7 points per game this season. Then you have the Bucks who are four, excuse me, are four and one at home against the spread and they are beating that by a ridiculous amount of 10.4 points per game. But now, so that's something to consider, but you got these two teams here and we saw what the, like you mentioned, we saw what happened to the bills last week, right? And how they got, you know, the weather was a big part of it, but they got the, just run the ball, run the ball on them. Okay. When the Titans did that early on this season, they kept it close with Derek Henry still playing. And then with the Colts, when they played the Colts, the Colts destroyed them on the ground, uh, with JT. Now the Bucks, they have Fournette who has been killing it all season and playing really good. So is he going to be able to, is that what, is that their game plan in this matchup? Are they just going to have them run the ball? But if they need to rely on someone to throw the ball, I mean, here they go. They have the Star Quarterback, uh, Tom Brady, okay? And all, and all of his weapons that he has to work with. And he has the most passes in the league right now. He has the quickest release and the bills though, they don't have a terrible secondary. So like I said, if they're going to rely on the run game, then, you know, then they just, Tom Brady doesn't have to do much work. But the Bucks secondary is depleted. So that's something to keep in mind. So Josh Allen and company is going to be able to still keep up and utilize his weapons and they're still going to be able to put points on the board. And I see this game being fairly close. And they're just, they have to stop the run and they have to be able to just play smart in this matchup. The total though, 52 and a half seems a little too high for me. I don't know. They both have, uh, they both have good defenses, even though they both have powerhouse offenses, I feel like the defenses will show up in this, uh, matchup. But I really like the bills as much as the Bucks are, you know, looking really good this season. Both of them want to go to the Super Bowl. Let's keep it real here. But if the bills, if the bills are for real, um, this would be the game for them to prove it and to be able to come out and, you know, see how good they can play really. Yes, absolutely. And, and, and you, you know, you kind of talked about it there. I mean, I'm kind of nervous at that line. I took Tampa Bay, you know, straight up minus one 90 is what they're coming at on the fan dual sports book. But, um, you know, what's interesting is that Sean McDermott, uh, coach for the Buffalo Bills has actually had some success against Tom Brady in the past. Um, this defense has been really, you know, stout and kind of holding their own at, you know, last week, we're just let's, let's just chalk that up to an anomaly or Bill Belichick just outcoaching them, being able to just run it down their throats and, you know, letting Mac Jones pass for like three times or whatever it was in the entire game. But I do think that Shredavius White here, the cornerback for Buffalo being out, you know, I'm curious to see how that does affect them this week because he's a, he's a huge part of what this defense wants to do and the energy that he provides them and gives them. Um, so, you know, if they, if this game kind of gets out of hand, I'm just interested to see how the, how the bills are able to reel it in on defense. Um, another one of the afternoon games, Jessica, that I wanted to talk about. And guys, shout out to, to you for, for everybody who's rocking with us here. Appreciate you guys rocking with us here on the countdown to kickoff show. Make sure if you want to get your questions in, we're talking best bets on the fan dual sports book. Jessica, we got some, uh, close to double digit lines here, um, in the afternoon slate. Well, one is, uh, the Seattle game where Seattle's nine and a half point favorites against the Houston Texans, but it's hard to kind of trust what Seattle is doing right now. Russell Wilson has not looked like the Russell Wilson that we're used to, but then also in the afternoon, slate, we got Detroit traveling into Denver, uh, as 12 and a half point dogs, which, you know, this, I believe open early in the week at nine and a half is now at 12 and a half. I get it. You know, DeAndre Swift, he's out. Jamal Williams then gets placed on the COVID list, I believe. Um, so I think that, you know, they're factoring that into the line, but I had talked about earlier this week, just Denver does not blow teams out. Like that's just not their MO and Teddy Bridgewater has not shown me anything to, to give me belief that Denver, even facing Detroit here, uh, should be close to 13 point favorites. Um, what are your leans in that game and possibly in the Seattle and Houston game? Yeah, definitely. So with the Broncos, you know, I have to, I get your points, but I like the Broncos in this game. I'll take, I'll take, I'll take the Broncos. I'll take the points on that. Uh, you know, the Lions, they finally got their win last week. Are they really going to be able to make it two in a row? Their run game, like you mentioned, is clearly struggling. Uh, and the Broncos, though, they're just overall, they're the better team in this matchup. They should be successful with the run game. They can tire down this defense and then Teddy should just find opportunities, uh, with his wide receivers and single coverage and be able to make plays and get the ball down the field. Oh, go ahead. Oh, yeah. No, no, go ahead. I was just going to say, no, that's fair. And then you're also looking at that backfield where they are potentially getting Melvin Gordon back to to with that double headed monster, him and Gervante Williams. So, uh, yeah, definitely. And then this, this, this Seahawks texting games. Uh, I, this is actually one of the one games I don't like in this matchup. Uh, okay. But if I had to make a play, I mean the Texans at plus nine, but again, it's so hard cause yeah, the Seahawks, you know, and then the Texans are just the Texans. And I was, I was hyping them up and then here they are, you know, they're just Davis Mills is back to starting. Um, he started six games this season and he's lost all of them. Russ is coming off back to back wins. Um, they just, they have a lot of star players, but I feel like it might be a little closer than you think. But again, it's my least favorite game on this, uh, on the slate this way today. No, that's, that's fair. Yeah. This, this one is just so ugly. I mean, I was half tempted to kind of bet the under of 41 in this game because I just don't really, and the Seattle is this is kind of the same way. Like it could be a spot for Russ to get going, but if, you know, they're up big, then they're just running the ball with Collins and Penny and just, they're going to chalk this up to let's just get out of Houston with a dub and they, they won't need to keep their foot on the gas. If Houston's not keeping it close, which they're running out the, the rookie guy, David Davis Mills. Um, so this should be an interesting one. I know Seattle defense has been catching some steam here, uh, on fan dual as a, as a play in DFS. Um, one other lane before we talk about the Sunday night game, because I always love to get your thoughts on, on Sunday night football and you see, I'm repping the bears here, but I don't have much, I don't have much faith that we'll be able to cover that 11 and a half. But real quickly, you were talking about as well, uh, getting action on the chargers. The chargers are minus nine point favorites now against the New York football giants, um, who are, you know, dealing with a ton of injuries as they have all year on the wide receiver in dealing with a couple things on, on defense as well. And the chargers, they have their own issues. Keenan Allen will be out for this game, but Mike Williams, luckily, you know, close, he was close contact, but tested negative. He's going to suit up. They still got Austin Eckler, who I think is in a smash spot today. I love getting any type of props on him leading, uh, leading the day in rushing. Uh, why are you so bullish on the chargers, uh, covering this nine point spread? Yeah. So I love the chargers in this matchup. You have the giants where Mike Lennon is the starter now. Like you had mentioned, uh, Golady and shepherd are expected to play, but you know, you, we clearly know they're not a hundred percent Tonys out. So they're just, they're just banged up all across the board offensively. And when you look at them, they ranked the fifth worst in points per game with 17.6. They've only scored 13 plus points once in the last three games. And then defensively, yeah, last week they were able to shut down the run. Okay. And that was, keep in mind that was against the dolphins who do not have a strong run game, even though those are my boys. So just something to keep in mind. Now they're going up against Austin Eckler. Like you mentioned, who is quick on the feet. I love, uh, the prop bits that you were just talking about. He's having the best career of a season, a five year career, five year career season. Sorry, let's see if I can say that right. Um, and Herbert, he had a great game last week against the Bengals. And yes, it is unfortunate that Kenan Allen is out, but like you'd mentioned, I think Mike Williams will still be able to have a great game. And like we mentioned, I think they're going to rely on the run. And hey, hallelujah. Their defense has finally stepped up people. Okay. Did you see what they did to Joe Burrow last week? Okay. He got intercepted twice. They returned, uh, a fumble into the end zone for a touchdown. I expect Joey Bosa to be upfront and bringing the pressure once again to this depleted Giants offense. And they were finally able to shut down the run, and kept Joe mixing, uh, from not having a stellar game. So that's just really something to keep in mind. Saquon Barkley, you know, he's really done nothing special all season long. I don't expect him to go off in this matchup either. And like I said, the Chargers defense is finally coming around. They're stepping up. I don't know, maybe it's a Christmas miracle, but, just the season, I'll take the Chargers in this game. Fair enough. Yeah, absolutely love getting action on the Chargers. Actually, I have the Chargers defense in some season long league. So I'm happy about that. Austin Eckler plus 1500. So we were looking at 15 to one odds there to lead Sunday, uh, running backs and rushing yards. I know people think of them as a passcatcher and he probably will get a little bit more work there in the passcaching game without, uh, Keenan Allen being active, but still love getting action on that. I mean, Elijah Mitchell is not playing in plus 1200. So, uh, you gotta, you gotta love the odds that you're getting there on Austin Eckler. Real quick, Jessica, as we get down to the wire here before luck, um, what are your thoughts on the Sunday night football game? We got, uh, Green Bay, 11 and a half point favorites here against the Bears who, you know, outside of getting Alan Robinson back and Justin Fields, I guess, as well to bury the lead, um, really not a lot of going on for them, uh, as of late. And we know the Packers absolutely love, you know, playing against this team. Aaron Rodgers, you know, the own youth stuff has been played up at Nazium. What's your take on this game in general? So I, I'm leaning the Bears actually in this game. I like it. It's prime time. Weird things always happen in prime time games. Games always end up being a lot closer than you expect, especially, uh, you know, I, this is divisional matchup here. Uh, Fields is starting, which I feel like is a great, you know, a better advantage for them going into this game. The Packers are playing really well at home. Uh, but you know, whether I know it's going to be pretty cold, this could be an issue for them. Uh, teams aren't always extra fresh after coming off of a bye week. So it's possible maybe they just are going to go into this game and feel like it's the Bears. Maybe they're going to be a little bit more relaxed and the Bears might come out a little bit hot and ready to go. But, uh, if I had to pick aside just because that points, baby, and the fact that it's prime time, I'll take the Bears. Absolutely. Yeah. Well, I love that. That's going to, that makes me feel good just because I can have somebody to back the team here. So I might have to look on getting action on that for Sunday night.
