 Hey everyone, what's going on? I am Greg Suspin joined today by Frank Stamphill. One more week left of the regular season in fantasy football season long. Frank, are you ready? I am ready, Greg. It is bittersweet right now in the fantasy football world. And when it comes to the waiver wire this week, I'm not sure that we have heavy hitters like Jonathan Williams and Bo Scarborough from a week ago, but I think we actually have a lot of really nice depth pieces here. So I'm excited. How are you doing, Greg? I'm good, man. Really, really excited to get to the playoffs, but I need to win this week. So I need your help. Let's start at the quarterback spot where I think there's one obvious play and his name is Ryan Tannehill. This is what it's come to week 13, Ryan Tannehill as the top streaming quarterback. And how can you argue against it? The guy is playing lights out right now, finished 14 of 18 against the Jacksonville Jaguars in week 12, 259 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, also rushed for 40 yards and additional two rushing touchdowns. Who would have funk it? Arthur Smith, the OC of the Tennessee Titans, getting the best out of Ryan Tannehill right now. He is number one in the NFL in yards per pass attempt. No, that is not a mistake. 9.2 yards per pass attempt. He is third in the NFL in passer rating at 111.4. He is currently the QB one in week 12. He's gonna finish at worst, a top three quarterback this week. He has at least 19 fantasy points in every single start he has made with the Tennessee Titans. And over the past three weeks, we're actually using him more as a rusher. He's averaging 38.3 rushing yards per game over his last three games. And you've heard this before. When it comes to rushing quarterbacks, that adds to their floor for fantasy football purposes. That's why a lot of people like Lamar Jackson coming into the season. Same thing with Kyler Murray. Well, the Tennessee Titans are actually using Ryan Tannehill in that regard as of late. He does face to Colton week 13 and on the season, they've been tougher against quarterbacks, but Tannehill has excelled in some tougher matchups. He's gone up against the Chargers. He's gone up against the Chiefs. Two teams that have done a good job of limiting fantasy points to quarterbacks, but he excelled in those matchups as well. Greg, fantasy football makes us say and do a lot of weird things. We're about to do something very weird. We are riding Ryan Tannehill to fantasy football championships. The Raiders, Texans and Saints up on the schedule in weeks 14 to 16. Let's go, Ryan Tannehill. It's literally come to this, week 13 of your fantasy football season. And we're riding Ryan Tannehill. Just like we drew it off. And as Frankie says, you gotta take the name off the back of it in Jersey. Probably the front also, because you're just gonna run the ball. But hey, Ryan Tannehill, he's your man in week 13. But if you don't like Ryan Tannehill, I'll tell you to start, Caroline is starting a quarterback. And if I would have told you this 13 weeks ago, you'd say, that makes sense. Let's go with Cam Newton. Uh-uh. We're going with Kyle Allen. Kyle Allen bounced back in a big way in week 12, Greg. Against the New Orleans Saints, a defense that had been tougher on quarterbacks recently, finished 23 of 36 for 256 yards and three passing touchdowns. He has a top five quarterback so far in week 12. There are two types of quarterbacks in the NFL, Greg. There are quarterbacks that can elevate the play of those around them, regardless of the talent level. And then there are quarterbacks who can succeed based on having the right pieces on their team. And I think obviously Kyle Allen fits into the ladder there. The weapons that he has here on the Carolina Panthers are phenomenal. DJ Moore, one of the most underrated wide receivers in the NFL right now finally got back in the end zone, scoring two touchdowns. Christian McCaffrey, I mean, the best running back in the league, the best pass catching running back in the league right now. Curtis Samuel and Greg Olson have a good role in this offense as well. So I think based on the pieces that he has on this team, Greg, this puts Kyle Allen once again in the streaming conversation, at least against the Washington Redskins heading into week 13, because this is a defense that, yes, they've played better, but two weeks ago we saw Sam Donaldthrow for four touchdowns against his defense. There have been five different games this year where Washington has allowed three or more passing touchdowns on the season. So I think that there is some upside here as well. I do like Ryan Tannehill a whole lot more in his week 13 matchup and just moving forward for the fantasy football playoffs. But if you're in a bind, if you were someone who was depending on Carson Wentz, he hasn't played well, he is banged up and you need a quarterback who has a good matchup. I think Kyle Allen going up against Washington is a very good spot, obviously, this week. And then after that, he gets the Falcons and the Seahawks as well. So Kyle Allen, based on the weapons that he has, I think that he can actually succeed here moving forward, Greg. I've used Kyle Allen a lot in Superflex this year. So I know the trials and tribulations that come with him, but over the last couple of weeks, he's got no fear, and he knows he's going to pass the ball. Todd and DJ Moore has been really, really hot as of late as well. I think you can do worse than Kyle Allen if you're desperate for a win. Up next, we get to the running backs and that brings us to Seattle where I took a shot in my draft under shot penny thinking at some point it could pay off. Have we reached that point, Frank? I think we're getting closer to that point. Chris Carson has a serious case of Tiki Barber-Itis where this guy cannot hold onto the football. He fumbled again yesterday. Now, he leads the NFL with seven fumbles on the season and he almost had a second fumble where he kind of messed up the exchange with Russell Wilson. Apparently, Russell Wilson changed the call at the line of scrimmage and Chris Carson didn't hear him. So ultimately, Russell Wilson got credited with that fumble, but Chris Carson could have had two fumbles in this game and Rashad Penny just came off a monster game. He rushed 14 times for 129 yards, including a 58-yard touchdown against a stout Philadelphia Eagles defensive line. They normally are great against the run, but that didn't matter to Rashad Penny yesterday. He played just three snaps less than Chris Carson. He had six more carries than Chris Carson in this game. Again, Chris Carson has been very, very good this year. So I'm not saying that Rashad Penny is necessarily going to take over as the workhorse of the Seattle Seahawks, but I think we are getting closer to that point. And if Chris Carson were to get hurt or if he were to fumble again, which is not out of the realm of possibility, then we could see Rashad Penny start to take over even more of the work. This is a guy who has the pedigree. He was a first round pick just last year for the Seattle Seahawks. He has shown explosiveness as well. And Greg, when he's been given an opportunity, he has actually paid off in those games. There have been three games this year where Rashad Penny has eight or more carries in those games. He is averaging 7.7 yards per carry. So I like what I've seen from Penny. And I think that we are getting closer to that point. Again, he is one of those handcuffs who actually has a role in the offense that needs to be owned right now. We know that the Seahawks want to run the football there. They have the fifth highest rush percentage in the NFL so far this season, Greg. So I don't think Chris Carson is going away yet, but we're one injury or one more fumble away from Rashad Penny having a legitimate role in this offense. Yeah, a legitimate role in this offense is what we're waiting for for Rashad Penny. And we said it before though, Frank, he's fumbled all season long as Chris Carson. So we said, all right, maybe this is the week and it hasn't happened. Maybe because of spraying ankles by Penny, his inability to stay healthy. But Pete Carroll has turned time and time again over to Chris Carson. And maybe this time it's different. Maybe it's not. But as we head to the playoffs, you want to make sure you grab or shot Penny off the white waiver wire just in case. Yesterday for Pittsburgh, every fantasy analyst and their mother said, start Jalen Samuels. That was wrong. The right running back to start Pittsburgh was Benny Snell, what a career day. We don't know if James Conner's coming back anytime soon, if at all. So we're telling you now, it's all about Benny Snell. With James Conner out yesterday, Greg, we were left trying to figure out who to start against the Cincinnati Bengals. We knew that it was an amazing matchup for the Steelers running backs, but we didn't know who it was gonna be. Jalen Samuels, Trey Edmonds, Karith White, who is that? No, it was Benny Snell, of course, who finished with 21 carries for 98 yards. Look, rookie, fourth round pick for the Pittsburgh Steelers. There's something they clearly like about him. He is a stronger back, run between the tackles. Not gonna do much as a pass catcher, but he does fit that mold as a Pittsburgh Steelers running back, the Pittsburgh Steelers running back of old, that grinder who likes to run between the tackles. And he was given the opportunity yesterday. He led the team with 35 snaps. The next closest was Jalen Samuels with just 21 snaps. So again, they leaned on him. And I said this last week about Jonathan Williams, Greg, that when they give a young player an opportunity and he comes through on that opportunity, he's going to continue to have a role. Now, we don't know what the situation is with James Connor, but this is now the second time he has hurt his AC joint in his shoulder. I don't know that he's going to be back in week 13. And even if he is, there's a really good chance that he ends up re-injuring himself. Again, I mean, he has dealt with multiple injuries, not just this year, dating back to last year. So I think at this point, we can almost label James Connor as injury prone. I don't know that we're going to see him in week 13. So Benny Snell, based on getting 20 carries in this game, Greg, I think, you know, any running back that has a role like that, even in a committee, you have to be excited about whether it's Devlin Hodges, Mason Rudolph, they can't throw the football. They are going to continue to run the football. And if James Connor is out, Benny Snell is that guy. They have to run the football. That's their best chance of fighting in this playoff race in the AFC and ultimately getting into the playoffs. They have to run the football. They did yesterday. We'll see if they keep doing it as we expect they would. And hopefully if they do, Benny Snell is the man to own. Up next, we move on to the wide receivers and that brings us to the phenomenal A.J. Brown. Not the first time we've talked about him here on the hurry up, but maybe this is the time we get it right. He's our big play threat. And you just look at him. And he is built like an Anquan Bolden, like a Julio Jones. This guy is a big time dude. And he's really, really fast. That's a lethal combination. The only question is can Ryan Tannehill get him the ball? Well, we like Ryan Tannehill. I think you have to like A.J. Oh, A.J. Brown, Frank is criminally under owned. Yeah, that ownership percentage in Yahoo leagues right now is just way too low when it comes to A.J. Brown. And you know, I would have thought that you were reading my notes, Greg, based on that introduction that you gave A.J. Brown here. Great combination of size, speed, explosiveness, athleticism, he can catch the deep ball. He can make plays after the catch. We've seen it time and time again. It really looks like A.J. Brown has surpassed Corey Davis. Whether Corey Davis is not 100% healthy. He's dealt with a lot of injuries this year. He hasn't been able to get on the same page with any quarterback. I'm almost done making excuses for Corey Davis. I think that he can be a talented player, but now this is two different quarterbacks that he has not been able to get on the same page with. Marcus Mariota or Ryan Tannehill. It's not working for Corey Davis. It is working for A.J. Brown, who just finished with four catches for 135 yards and a touchdown in week 12, going up against the Jacksonville Jaguars. I'm sure the Tennessee Titans wish that they could just face the Jacksonville Jaguars every single week because their wide receivers go off against them. Derek Henry goes off against them. But all of those marks for A.J. Brown led the Titans past catchers and he has at least 64 yards or a touchdown in four of five games with Ryan Tannehill as the starting quarterback. So he's been pretty consistent in those games. He leads the team in targets with 27, leads the team in receptions with 17, leads the team in receiving yards 308 and he has two touchdowns, which is tied for first on the team with Ryan Tannehill as the starter. Coming up in week 13, they go up against the Indianapolis Colts. We just saw Deandre Hopkins score two touchdowns against that defense. Will Fuller making a bunch of deep plays down the field over 150 yards in his return against the Colts last week. And then in weeks 14 to 16, we have the Raiders, the Texans and the Saints. So we love Ryan Tannehill. That means we love A.J. Brown. A.J. Brown next year in fantasy football is going to be a high upside pick that everybody wants. You're going to want a piece of A.J. Brown next year. Well, don't wait till next year. Get on it now. It's a guy that can really help you throughout your fantasy playoffs. A.J. Brown, certainly the top wide receiver pick up here in week 13. Up next spring, another wide receiver we're going to mention, it's Cole Beasley, he's certainly not as sexy as A.J. Brown, totally different style and totally different build, but he's been really successful. pairing with, paired with Josh Allen this year, he's filled his familiar role inside the slot last week or this yesterday rather. He went off, had a touchdown and he's been really good as of late. He's sneaky, not sexy. That's okay because he's productive. Yeah, completely different player than A.J. Brown, but getting it done recently from a fantasy football perspective, just had a monster game in week 12 against the Denver Broncos. We knew that it was going to be a tougher game for John Brown, but Cole Beasley really stepped up and excelled in this game, leading the team with nine targets, 36% of their target share, led the team in receptions with six, receiving yards 76, and of course he scored a touchdown as well. Since week seven, how about this, Greg? Normally Cole Beasley, not a guy that scores a lot of touchdowns, but since week seven after their buy, Cole Beasley has at least 74 yards or a touchdown in five of six games. So like A.J. Brown, has actually been pretty consistent over the past six games for the Buffalo Bills. Slot receivers have had some success against the Dallas Cowboys as well. We just saw Julian Edelman, eight receptions for 93 yards, about a month ago this time. Jameson Crowder had six receptions for 98 yards against the Dallas Cowboys. So I think we're going to see a decent number of targets. You know, it's a little bit of a tougher matchup on the outside here for John Brown going up against these Cowboys' corners, but I think that we could get some success here. And of course, Greg, we love the revenge game narrative on Thanksgiving. I think Brian Dable has done a fantastic job as the offensive coordinator of the Buffalo Bills, but I think that he's really going to make it a thing to get Cole Beasley in the end zone this week against his former team of Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving. So I think the targets will be there. I think we get some receptions. And I think we get a touchdown once again this week for Cole Beasley going up against the Dallas Cowboys. You know the Bills want to get Cole Beasley into the end zone once again, like you said, in a revenge match. We've been talking a lot on our network about how we think the Bills are in a good spot against Dallas. The Clappers needs a big win. Josh Allen here to make a statement. Bills trying to head back to the playoffs for the second time in three years. We'll see if they can get it done on Thanksgiving. But more importantly, we'll see if Cole Beasley officially gets his revenge. Titan has been a roller coaster all season long for us, Frank, and this week, well, we're back on the Jack Doyle ride as Eric Ebron on injured reserve. He's out for the year, which means Doyle steps up once again as the primary option until the squeaky wheel got its grease. Doyle was the more productive Titan. Now Ebron's gone, which means Jack Doyle should be a low-end, tidy end one throughout the fantasy playoffs. Absolutely, Greg, you hit the nail on the head. Eric Ebron landing on injured reserve for the Indianapolis Colts, and it's not as easy as just combining their stats. But I'm gonna do that right now, let you know where they would rank. So if you put Jack Doyle and Eric Ebron's production together so far this season at the Titan position, they would be the Titan two overall. We've seen this before, Jacoby Briss set. He's not really like to take many chances down the field. He likes to target those intermediate over-the-field routes. That's where Jack Doyle excels. T.Y. Hilton's still a little bit limited. We saw that in week 12 on Thursday night football. Now he's gonna have 10 more days to rest up and get healthy. So I think T.Y. Hilton will be more involved. But Eric Ebron, you're right, Greg. You know, he was the squeaky wheel and he asked for more targets and that's exactly what he was getting. Over the past three weeks, Eric Ebron was leading the Colts with 24% of the target share. Now those targets are gone. Who else are the Colts gonna throw the ball to? I think it's gonna be a lot of T.Y. Hilton and a lot of Jack Doyle. Earlier on in the season, Jack Doyle was getting the job done. He was consistent. Not seeing a ton of targets. You know, he's right around that four to five target range every single week but he was being targeted in the red zone. And oftentimes, defenses forget about Jack Doyle because you have to worry about the run game and you have to worry about T.Y. Hilton. So I think there's gonna be some production here, Greg. And the next two matchups coming up for the Colts are against the Titans and against the Tampa Bay Bucks. Those are two teams that have allowed a decent amount of fantasy production to tight end so far this season. So I know we've been off and on with Jack Doyle and a lot of these tight ends but I think things are looking up for him now that Eric Ebron has landed on IR. I've been a Doyle guy ever since he burst out on the scene a couple of years back. Doyle shouldn't find the end zone more in the coming weeks. Eric Ebron is gone. Sure, Mo Alley Cox is there. Not something we're gonna worry about. Jack Doyle, now a reliable tight end option which we've been desperate for all season long. But Jack Doyle's not out there for you. There are other directions that you can go in. We talk about Noah Phantz a lot. We talk about Mike Koseki a lot. Who are we turning to this week, Frank? We're going back to Kyle Rudolph here, Greg. And normally we have to wait till the holiday season to get Kyle Rudolph in our lineups but he has scored a touchdown in three straight games. He has five touchdowns scored over the last five games for the Minnesota Vikings and he's been pretty consistent during that five game span. 15% target share. Not amazing, but again, he's four to five targets every single week. Adam Thielen is going to be back which could eat into some of the production here but we've got a good matchup coming up for Kyle Rudolph going up against the Seattle Seahawks who are allowing the seventh most fantasy points to tie in so far this season. We just saw Zach Erz and Dallas Goddard combined for 19 catches and 123 yards in week 12 for the Eagles offense going up against the Seattle Seahawks. So, yes, Thielen's coming back. Stefan Diggs has a role with the Minnesota Vikings. They want to run the football with Dalvin Cook but they've really found something here with Kyle Rudolph, with Irv Smith, you know, Kirk Cousins playing lights out football right now targeting Kyle Rudolph in the end zone, in the red zone specifically which is what you want out of your tight end. So, you know, I think defenses have to focus in on trying to stop Adam Thielen and Dalvin Cook and Stefan Diggs and a lot of times that leads to single coverage against Kyle Rudolph. I think he's going to be able to make the most of that opportunity going up against the Seattle Seahawks defense in week 13, Greg. Now, Rudolph's been really hot finding the end zone as of late. Those three consecutive games with touchdowns, as Frank mentioned, hey, this week Adam Thielen may be back but hopefully Rudolph can still find his way in an end zone and help out fantasy owners here this weekend. One last position to get to, Frank and that is the defense. Well, we've been pretty good picking out defenses here and not only do we have a pick for week 13 with the playoffs on the horizon, same defense is the right choice for week 14 as well. Greg, what is going on in the world when the New York Jets are one of the hottest teams in football on a three game winning streak? Sam Darnall has played extremely well but so has the defense. Jamal Adams has been fired up the past couple of games. He's making a ton of plays, sacking people, stealing the ball away from Daniel Jones. He played great in week 12 against the Oakland Raiders as well. You look at what this Jets defense just did against that Raiders team and offense that was playing really, really well on the season. They limited them to just three points. They had one sack in interception, a fumble recovery and a defensive touchdown as well. You mentioned the matchups coming up. It's hard to get better than this, Greg. Ryan Finley and the Bengals in week 13 for the Jets and then in week 14, they get their revenge against the Miami Dolphins. Ryan Fitzpatrick has played well for the Dolphins but at this point, 37 years old, he's just slinging the ball around. He doesn't care what happens. He's throwing interceptions. He's getting sacked as well. Jets are in a prime position over these next two weeks to really take advantage from a fantasy perspective and I think that they're gonna do just that. Jets are on a roll, three games in a row. We're riding the Adam Gaze train, baby. We're going right through the tunnel and we're making the playoffs, right, Frank? No. That's gonna do it for us here at the FanDoleHurry. Those are the players you need to pick up. So make sure you get on it soon. Tomorrow, I'll be joined by Tom Vecchio who's gonna be the top players that you need to know about on Thanksgiving Day. Three football games and we'll make sure we have you covered. You're in the hurry up. Have a great night. Enjoy Monday Night Football. We'll see you tomorrow.
