Way to start fantasy week 16 not chimra not really cup but honestly pretty good pretty good overall and not the Saints DST either but uh it’s Adam Dave and Jamie here on Friday happy Friday everybody mailbag coming up later today you know that uh but right now we’ll talk about seven NFC

Home games including the game of the week yeah the Baltimore San Francisco game Detroit Minnesota Indianapolis at Atlanta Jacksonville at Tampa Bay the Giants at the Eagles the Cardinals at the Bears the Packers at the Panthers Jamie I know you had that one League where it was like all Thursday which

Players did you have in that for uh I had Kamar and Kiren so one of two good and puka and alve very happy yes oh all four of them okay and I was playing against Havi and um you know I don’t pay attention to kicker rules apparently we get uh negative

Points for Mis kicks so I was happy on the first mfield goal oh okay he ended up having a pretty good game he did he did should we start incorporating that more in leagues that have kickers or should we just continue to say don’t have kickers in fantasy that’s probably

I don’t I don’t mind incorporating that it’s fine I think if you’re gonna use kickers include the negative scoring yeah and then as one of our colleagues says when they miss kicks just choke them choke them Jes I choke them I choke him have or sick I feel like he does

Miss a lot of field goals well I think he did and then they brought in Mason Crosby and put him on the practice squad and then he started making his kicks and then they cut Mason Crosby and now he’s missing kicks again so yeah Crosby he’s three for four two for three

Yeah he he misses he’s a misser but he gets a lot of points they’re scoring a lot all right so we’ll talk about that game let’s go to that one right now how about that Derek Carr actually had a better game than Matthew Stafford not IRL but in fantasy Carr scored about 30

Points Stafford 25 points and are you going to start either of them next week week Stafford at the Giants and Carr is I’m sorry who’s got who does Carr at Tampa Bay Tampa Bay so yeah they’re both in play to start but Stafford’s just rolling hot right now offensive Line’s

Giving him good protection he’s I I liked how he was moving around like being able to hang in the pocket move out of the pocket that’s something that’s a little bit different not a statue like he’s been before and uh the accuracy is amazing the touchdown to to

Demarcus Robinson was awesome he’s been playing great I don’t see how he’s not a top 10 quarterback next week at the Giants and then yeah how about Demarcus Robinson is I think for if you missed the game Cooper cup dropped two difficult but catchable touchdowns true one of them was followed

By a pukan nakua touchdown catch one of them was followed by a field goal so cup had a couple of chances and he had 12 targets I think he just didn’t have a good game but I think the two big storylines would be camra with a total

Dud and Demarcus Robinson with a great game yeah maybe Shahed too so Jamie does anything change for you going forward with uh with some of these players well Shahed you know last week’s game was disappointing week 15 game was disappointing because no LA and he had

Been you know I don’t know shake the rust off game because of the you know absence with the the the thigh injury because nobody has thigh injuries um but I think if you saw the two games before he got hurt and it coincided with Michael Thomas getting hurt so the first

Game that Thomas was was either hurt or out he had nine Targets in that game and really was a focal point of the offense then against Atlanta which was the game he got hurt he had five targets I think it was in the first quarter of the first

Half before he went out so they were really trying to get him involved and you mentioned this uh when we previewed the show that the less Tamm Hill has played the more Derek Carr’s obviously been have opportunities throws which which is clearly benefiting the receiving core there and I wonder how

Much that might may or may not change coming off of a loss because ta Hill has been a non-factor for two straight weeks one win one loss so as long as Thomas is out I think especially next week shed’s in play as a number three receiver in three receiver leagues and for Demarcus

Robinson it’s just one of those I think Dart throw type of guys you know if you’re if you need a wide receiver you know we’ll see what injuries come out of this week you know Jamar Chase let’s say for example doesn’t play next week um

Not a bad guy to Pivot to because the Giants won’t be able to C cover all the Rams and clearly Robinson right now is a factor I know I know there was the two two Atwell return and maybe that was going to be something people were worried about but Robinson four

Touchdowns and in four straight games of the touchdown that’s hard to overlook with the way Stafford’s playing 10 snaps for Tamm hill by the way that number went down from last week I believe so yeah there could be a phasing out here could be finally happening just in time

For for week 17 you and they didn’t even use him on the two-point conversion I thought they would and and they did not and I’ll say this is for Shahed if you look look at his route depth I think that maybe in the past few games without Michael Thomas they were trying to

Change him into something that he isn’t they were making him a short area guy this game he was back to 10 plus yards of Route depth just being a deep threat which makes him inconsistent and unreliable but I think it might be the role that he’s just better at so he went

Back to that no they still used him on he still ran a bunch of short routes too well of course he’s always is that it does I don’t know if that necessarily gives you um a clear picture of usage well and I mean nobody’s gonna run a deep route every play but right

Obviously he had a 15 yard ad dot in this game that’s what I care about because now they’re using him in a certain way and they’re putting the ball toward him they’re throwing uh and uh camra next week at Tampa Bay I don’t know if Tampa Bay does

Well against etn you might have a little bit of hesitation with uh chimra this week next week because V is back and I don’t know it’s it’s hard to bench guys like this though because there’s just still so much upside and I did mention this the Rams are absolutely unbelievable against pass

Catching running backs he had five catches for 16 yards the Rams are the best in the business they give up the fewest receiving yards per game to uh to running backs I started to dig into that this morning and that’ll be something that I’ll work on this off season one of

The reasons why is because they play Heavy Zone coverage and so what that means is that all the defensive players are facing the quarterback but the other thing that they did a really good job at and I really can’t wait to go back and see this during the off season they can

Sniff out the screens and the the dump off passes the flare passes to running backs at least they did against chimra they did it really really well and the Saints didn’t scheme all them up very very well either so that’s kind of a a two-sided thing where the Saints didn’t

Do a good enough job getting chimra um the play drawn up properly or was a dump off pass where Derek Car checked down and the Rams seem to be really smart about attacking and rallying to whoever’s about to get the ball instead of reacting once the player has the ball

It’s gonna be to see though what their new defensive coordinator does because rahee Mor getting a head coaching J he could get one absolutely he’s he should be in in contention for one again yeah I mean they always seem to have good defensinator there where does sea McVey

Fall on Coach of the Year rankings I mean it’s him it’s tansky it’s uh styken Shanahan it’s hard to give it to Shanahan because they were expected to be good I know but they’re really good okay so anyway uh oh Chris I think Chris is GNA write an article check it

Out we were talking about it last night is pukan nakua the best waiver wire pickup in history we were trying to figure out better ones than pukan nakua uh I suggested maybe Darren Waller when he was tight end two in 2019 I was that I don’t know if Darren Waller

Was a pickup back then well not for you but I think he probably was there a lot of people that like Waller Al after Hard Knocks um because he was so popular uh I think in terms of even this year kyen Williams I yeah I mean you could if

Kiren Williams didn’t miss that four games I believe then maybe you give it to him and maybe you still give it to him but they have two of the best waiver wire pickups ever basically it’s crazy all right coaching yeah let’s see what Chris comes up with as he kind of digs

Into we got to learn from that this off season that’s another thing we have to do what can we learn from that that we apply next year so we can you know it’s always my goal is to find those guys before week one well I I mean I think kirn Williams

Is a complete shock but all right that’s a topic for a different day youtube.com fantasyfootball today that’s where you can watch all of our content that’s where you can watch our live stream at 11:30 a.m. eastern on Sunday mornings youtube.com fantasy football today 11:30 a.m. eastern on Sunday mornings before

That at 10: a.m. eastern on Sunday morning mornings uh tune in to CBS Sports HQ on the CBS Sports app and you can watch Dave Jamie and Heath on fantasy football today there uh and we will have a a Christmas Eve recap show at 9:30 pm we usually start around 8 so

It’s going to be later it’s not going to change anything for those of you that listen on Mondays but if you want to watch it live it’s going to be later on Christmas Eve I want to thank Dave and Jamie for accommodating uh there and because I have plans and uh family stuff

So um anyway we’ll see you Christmas Eve yeah I just want to tell you real quick two player I got I got a heebie jebi segment here two players that are giving me the heebie jeebies this week saquan Barkley at the Eagles and Travis etn at the Bucks I’m

Getting some he heebie jeebies from them I mean I I think you know you could factor in Kamar you could throw in Derrick Henry you could throw in Austin Eckler you know these guys that are hard to say are sit candidates but they have difficult situations or struggling or both and

It’s like we we we’ve talked about this a couple times during the week like who are you starting over them it’s just it’s just difficult to say like in the case of any of these running backs let’s say you have a good roster because you know you’re in in in

The semis are you gonna play Davian Wix over saquon Barkley a flex like there not many people that would ever do that or or you know um I know James Cook is easy I mean a lot of guys have yeah I mean look if you have if you have great

Players you know I I I had back toback tweets you know because I did a little ask fft yesterday before the games um before the game and somebody sent me a uh who do I sit out of Diggs puka and another great receiver and I said puka

And the guy wrote back you know oh I get it puka had a great game and he wrote back things you can’t say on the show um no I don’t I I don’t care I mean it’s it you know you have a great roster you have a great roster there’s nothing you

Can do somebody’s gonna have a a good game on your bench and then but but right below it I had said puka over Zeke it was like you know back toback twe thanks Jamie sorry Jamie you know that’s exactly what it was yeah and you’re gonna have these tough calls you know so

You just have to have the konus to bench one of these guys when you have you know some questionable calls if you have great players it’s easier James Cook is easy yeah no but it’s a shame because I think bar Zeke etn is so hard for me I

Tried to rank them yesterday for somebody I think and I just like I was like they’re basically the same I I don’t even know I think I’d go with gosh I think I’d go with with Zeke in that but I’ll get into why um I’m nervous about Travis etn and and Sequon Barkley

Uh coming up and I’ll see if Dave and Jamie feel the same way uh I mean the rankings would suggest that they are starters but well Jam’s got Barkley 20th so that’s that’s interesting as well okay uh new news and notes Trevor Lawrence unlikely to play CJ strad out

Kenny picket out is CJ strad officially out no okay but almost certainly out Kenny picket is out um Mason Rudolph with start I you guys think this is like the right time of year for M okay never mind um yeah let let’s spend five minutes on Mason Rudolph Gino Smith is playing okay

Running backs Jonathan Taylor participant he said he wanted to test the thumb do you guys have any hesitation with Jonathan Taylor at this point no uh the fact that he wasn’t according to the the reports he was just wearing gloves there was nothing bulky

On his thumb so yes does he want to test it out make sure he’s fine obviously uh does it sound like he’s playing yes and I think it could be really good for him if Zach Moss does not play potentially the first running back to have a monster

Game against Atlanta this year he’s scoring he’s gonna be the first to score a rushing touchdown uh Josh Jacobs miss practice they are playing on Monday so still time there for Jacobs Tony Pard said he acknowledged that he’s beat up that he was that he’s acknowledged that

That he took a long time to recover from the surgery in the offseason but he says he’s feeling healthier now um Jerick McKinnon miss practice that’s not necessarily unusual AJ Dylan practiced we’ll talk about that game Ken Walker Jamie he’s your start of the week he hasn’t practiced yet he’s got the

Shoulder injury what are you doing there with Ken Walker well obviously is a big day you know if he doesn’t practice then I’ll have to pick a new start of the week and uh Zach shbnet would be an absolute monster if there’s no Ken Walker could be really easy you just

Make Zack sharpin at the start of the week true um Brian Robinson do we expecting him at this point at the Jets no okay and Alexander Madison is not going to play is that official or am I I think it’s not official I don’t think it’s official but I think it’s looking that

Way and they OK connell’s been talking up Ty Chandler for like five days now Tyreek Hill practiced that’s good Keenan Allen is not going to play Devonte Smith has this knee issue and that’s a Monday game so he miss practice he’s got a knee thing we’ll see if he practices

Today um let’s see what else we got Nico Collins looks like he’s going to play he’s trending in the right direction do we what are we thinking for the Packers wide receivers at this point at Carolina they’re banged up um I think Wix is just more of a maintenance thing

But he’s dealing with an ankle injury that he’s been dealing with I think for the last couple of weeks both Watson and Reed I believe were limited so keep an eye on that but um at this point I would probably say in terms of who I expect to

Play Wix would be one Reed probably two and then Watson three okay and Michael Pitman full part uh full participant in practice still has not cleared the concussion protocol but I know we’ve all got our fingers cross for Michael Pitman toh get back out there he’s got a good chance to do

So still no Hunter Henry for the Patriots Michael may miss practice but they play Monday so time for him and Luke Musgrave is eligible to come off IR it’s not a great matchup anyway but if you were thinking about sucker craft just be be aware there’s a chance Luke

Musgrave plays this week uh on the offensive line I think the Cowboys and the Dolphins might play seven on seven they don’t really have any healthy lineman but but in seriousness we about this game yesterday so it looks like Zack Martin and Tyron Smith both might miss the game with Martin having a

Better chance and these are two Hall of Fame offensive lineman for the Cowboys basically so Dave uh are you thinking about downgrading Dak Prescott you have to because we’ve seen it before from him when he doesn’t have a good offensive line he struggles and the Dolphins pass

Defense is good as it is their pass rush is starting to generate a lot more pressure I I I don’t think the Cowboys can adapt the same way that the Dolphins did last week and it’s a shame because you’d love to see these two teams play

Each other at full strength and now we might be without so many key pieces on the both offensive lines uh it makes me nervous about Dak for sure how has Dak Prescott done this year without Tyron Smith week three they lost that game at Arizona but I don’t

Think Smith was the only lineman who was injured in that game I think he was missing like three starters in that game he scored 16.4 points next week against New England not a terrible game but he didn’t get that second touchdown I mean 28 of 34 for 261 and one 16.3 fantasy

Points so that’s two games with 16 points basically and then he faced the Rams in week eight coming off a buy four touchdowns 304 yards 36.1 fantasy points without Tyron Smith against the Los Angeles Rams how did he do last week without Zack Martin on the the field against

Buffalo yeah there were a lot of issues there but six points at Buffalo last week okay and yeah I mean I’m keeping an eye on Jimmy Ward I I might keep talking about how significant Jimmy Ward is for the Texans pass defense he practice so he

Has got a good chance to play against Cleveland uh the Panthers are a little bit beat up but I think it’s actually some illnesses some of their best uh Edge rushers missing with illnesses with specifically Brian Burns Vita see this is the the Tampa Bay defense is healthy

Now big game for them they got they’re getting vitaa back I believe I think he was limited but Deon played last week Adam oh he did I’m sorry I think he did De white okay my bad Devon white and Carlton Davis practiced in full uh so they’re getting healthy and the Giants

Have a couple of defensive tackles that we should keep an eye on Dexter Lawrence who’s been missing practice recently and Rahe Nunes roaches uh who is practiced they might they have they’re in Jeopardy and that would be good for DeAndre Swift bills are also beat up but I don’t think

That matters for the Chargers and I mentioned this to Dave last night there will be no commercial breaks in the fourth quarter of the bills Chargers game on peacock but there will be a commercial break right now and we’ll be back after this with one question for each

Game okay commercial break you know they’re necessary one question for each game the Ravens are at the 49ers these are the top two defenses in the NFL in point per game not in yards per play in yards per play Baltimore is one and San Francisco is actually 12th but the top

Two defenses in the NFL Jamie are we getting away from anybody that we would typically start on Baltimore or San Francisco I guess they flowers would be the one if you’re saying typically start but everybody else I’m starting all the main 49ers guys and I’m starting Lamar

Jackson I don’t know if Isaiah likely falls into the always start guys but I would start him this week too okay Detroit Detroit at Minnesota Dave are we worried about the running backs in this game against two very good run defenses I’m not I would rank them Gibbs

Montgomery Chandler but I think that they’re all in play as at worst number two RBS I just don’t think there are enough running backs to take any of them out of the top 24 would I say that any of them have a chance to do like what

Tai Chandler did last week I have a hard time believing that but if there’s one that I think did have a chance it would be Gibbs because he could be utilized more in the passing game than the other two the only two running backs have scored more than 15.1 fantasy points

Against the Minnesota Vikings and they were if you remember the DeAndre Swift game back in week two or three and Christian mcaffrey was the other so that’s tough you think jir Gibbs gets 15 plus PPR fantasy points I think get there yeah I mean we’re still dealing

With at least in the case of the Lions a very good off offense and a very good offensive line and yeah I think you know kind of what to expect from Montgomery he’s the one that might make me the most nervous little too touchdown dependent

At this point but he gets a lot of work yeah and Chandler Chandler’s gonna get a lot of work too because I don’t think Madison plays and I don’t think anybody I don’t think Ken nongu is gonna take much work away from him either no and the uh the man what is the

Stat I have on this game it’s like 22 or more Carri for a running back in four of the last five games uh no it’s three of the last four games for the Vikings they’re they have this many running back carries I it’s four the last five 25 28

25 and 24 running back carries in four of their last five games that’s 24 or more and Chandler got all of them except for one last week so they are trying to run the ball a lot now Jeff Justin Jefferson’s back well we’ll get in that

Game a little bit but even last week with Jefferson they ran the ball ton Colts are at the the Falcons Jamie we got Drake London at home but we don’t have Desmond Ritter at home starter sit Drake London at home Love Drake London um 14.1 PPR points in his last five home

Games uh at least 14.1 PPR points in his last five home games over 19 points on average in those five games so he’s been an absolute monster at home and so yes quarterback change uh yes tough defense Colts have been really good against posing wide receivers I think they’re

Number 10 in fewest points allowed to position but I’ll take my chances with that guy at home so yeah must start guy top I’ll save the quarterback stats for the Falcons when we get to that game oh what he’s done with Drake London no well I mean I have that that won’t impress

You but you might be more encouraged to start London when you hear the differences between hinek and Ritter yeah well now I have that won’t that don’t impress me much in my head so thank you well I mean they’re both unimpressive quarterbacks but I’ll tell you what the difference is

Between the two them little Shia now all right Jacksonville at Tampa Bay Chris Godwin or Calvin Ridley who do you like better Godwin yeah his Target share the last two weeks is like 40% it’s not quite that high but it’s over 30% oh it’s it’s the I think

It’s oh actually that might be his Target about run rate is like 39 40% yeah that’s that’s pretty great too anything over 25% there is good when it’s 10 percentage points higher than that it’s amazing the question is whether or not they’re going to keep doing it my guess is that

They will Godwin looks healthy he made some amazing a lot of it we talked about this on Sunday a lot of had to do with the Packers defense just playing poorly but Jacksonville’s defense has been playing poorly against the pass lately too and so there’s gonna be huge opportunities especially if the Bucks

Run defense is good it’s gonna force or I’m sorry if the Jaguars run defense is good it’s gonna Force Baker to throw a little bit more and Godwin’s been really great lately and he doesn’t have CJ be throwing to him yeah that’s that’s a big xfactor jaguars have allowed more than

14 PPR fantasy points on receiving totals alone to seven wide receivers in their last seven games Giants at the Eagles saquan Barkley or DeAndre Swift uh Barkley I also have Barkley higher that’s close yeah you know I remember I said my gut was saying I wanted to go Swift over Barkley but I

Look at Swift’s game log he is singled digigit PPR points in five of the last six games I just I think I’d have to back off on that gut feeling but if there’s no Dexter Lawrence you’ll know that is important to the matchup the Eagles will know that that’s important

To the matchup and I think they want to keep running the ball they did a good job of it against Seattle so I don’t think we can totally write off DeAndre Swift as a bad fantasy Play It’s just does he have the upside that saquan has and I think that’s the discussion that

We need to have it’s that stupid tush push Arizona at Chicago they they had a change up to it last week where I think it was Swift who got the ball they gave it Swift scored his I think his most recent touchdown was on a tush push

Formation fake gave it to Swift and he ran it in um I don’t it was either his most recent her his second most recent but uh still he got down to the one yard line you know maybe twice definitely once in that Seattle game and then they

Hurts it in in Adam’s fantasy league he wants to award points for when a player is down at the one Arizona at yeah I have Calvin Ridley I’ll take Arizona at Chicago James Conor or one of these recently relevant running backs or all of them chuba hubard against Green Bay

Devin single ter against Cleveland Tai Chandler against Detroit which is start Conor over any of them no all except Chandler I would go tuba over him that one’s kind of easy for me Chandler’s easy for me if there’s no Madison single ter is tough but I would take my chances

With single ter over Conor this week no I kind of like Connor I don’t why do you like him Dave because I think he’s the main running back for Arizona I think that offensive line certainly played well last week I I’m tired of doubting him he went to Pittsburgh had a monster

Game went to San Francisco had a good game now he’s playing Chicago I don’t think it’s gonna be a Bears blowout game script will favor him he’ll get a lot of work the catches aren’t great he’s averaging like two and a half since he’s come back from injury per game and the

Yardage that comes with it is a joke but I I still think he’s going to get a good amount of work and I think he’s got a decent shot to score so when you line him up against all those other running backs that are touchdown dependent I

Kind of put them at the top of the list that has them at 22 for me in the uh in my PPR rankings he’s more touchdown dependent than the other three guys you mentioned well I don’t know when last time chuba even scored a touchdown doesn’t matter he’s been very good

Without the touchdowns he’s been pretty good without the touchdowns I don’t know well you take away don’t give him a touchdown and you take away James Conor’s touchdown add to three who’s better that’s a good question who’s been better the last two weeks without touchdowns chuba I don’t know about that

I don’t I don’t think he’s if he’s better games without without touchdowns you’re saying if we take all the touchdowns away so chba hasn’t scored and he’s been better well chuba has TS 11.6 11.6 and 12.3 PPR fantasy points in his last two games chuba hover without touchdown without

Touchdowns probably yeah I think you’re probably right here um yeah sing was awesome last week without a touchdown I actually think it’s super it’s super close I think you’re probably within one to two points over the last two games um but okay okay fine uh chuba had 11.6 and 12.3 without scoring a

Touchdown last week James Conor had had 11.9 without a touchdown so like basically right in the middle of what chuba had done the prior two games then I got to look up what he did in week 13 this is exciting week 13 James Connor had 22.5 you take away a touchdown from

There that’s 16.5 that’s better than what chuba had been there to me it’s had two touchdowns had two touchdowns though okay I thought 10.5 without the touchdown okay so that’s lower than chuba it’s very close between the two all right Green Bay at Carolina’s our last game here for this segment and

That’s another chuba hubber question chuba hubber or Aaron Jones who do you like better in this game we know the great match up for Jones Jones as long as Dylan’s out if Dylan’s in I’ll take two we talked about this on the live stream last night how Matt laflor kind

Of lamented that he didn’t give Jones more work after he got off to a hot start last week and I would love to see that overcorrection by the coaching staff to feed Aaron Jones more he he looked good when he did get the ball in the first quarter but AJ Dylan’s got to

Be out for me to really buy into Aaron Jones by the way my stat of the game for that game I called it the stat of the game that makes me nervous because it might convince me to start chuba hubard which could go wrong because he’s chuba

Hubard but the stat is that the Packers have allowed 18.6 or more PPR fantasy points to five running backs in their last six games that’s Jaylen Warren Naji Harris Isaiah Pacheko saquon Barkley and Rashad white all of them scoring eight 18.6 or more PPR fantasy points they all

Had 15 to 21 uh carries and chuba hubs had 22 or more carries in three straight games it is what that he’s been fantastic he has been except they just have a bad offense so it doesn’t he doesn’t catch a lot of passes the Panthers though they run the third most

Play three games ago two games ago but almost his entire career he just doesn’t really catch a lot of passes just not he’s just not good at it I think he had four catches in week 12 and for this season he has 17 catches in 10 games oh

Noe I’m sorry I’m looking at James Conor uh he had five catches in week 12 and for the season he has 32 catches in 14 games all right that’s it for one question for each game now let’s go a little bit deeper into these games we’ll start with Baltimore at San Francisco

And I can’t imagine anyone’s taking Debo Samuel out of their lineup but I alluded to this on Wednesday when I tricked Dave with the game of the week thing that uh there have only been five wi receivers who have had real big weeks week- winning types of weeks or or close to

That more than 16.7 points against Baltimore and they all had double digit targets and that has only happened once for Debo and once for auk so again no one’s sitting Debo but auk’s coming off a bad game and he’s really only had one big game in I think his last seven he’s

Usually in the 13 14 point range something like that so against Baltimore is is auk someone Dave that you struggle with at all H is iuk someone that you no I swear I not doing that I don’t want you to do it because I think you’ll you’ll you’ll beat a dead

Horse if you do it exactly I don’t struggle with that yuk I think he’s gonna be fine he’s got upside to get you at least 15 PPR points he’s done that three of his last four so I’m rolling with him I’m liking him over Diggs for

Example oh wow okay it’s just funny it’s it’s it’s almost like as we look at this game and then and you see the Niners are five and a half Point favorites I just worried are we disrespecting the Ravens defense you know oh totally but still you have to

Buy into what San Francisco’s done and they’re at home and what they’ve done at home um again you know you go back to the Rams game a couple weeks ago yep yeah I know they faced they faced a good offense that was at full strength and they got beat up on

Fair okay so how about all those run off too schematically they’re very similar the uh the chuba hubard Ty Chandler Aaron Jones James Conor group you would you start them over Brandon auk no no all right you know I’m not going to linger on this game if we don’t

Have to just because we love the game and we can’t wait for it by the way who you guys picking with the spread nersus five and a half I mean Gus Edward’s now the main guy Baltimore yeah likely obviously coming off two strong games they’re

Facing a very good defense um do we know the status of Armstead and hardgrave did not practice Yeah that’s big but this was their first practice of the week but Orin burs another kind of a reserve linebacker he plays a little bit he also didn’t practice but that’s two defensive

Two great defensive linemen that did not play last week and they got destroyed by the Cardinal reason why Conor had a good game yeah Andy Marcado had a 40 yard touch 40 yard run um so yeah with how much would that change things for Gus

Edwards for you I don’t mind Gus as a flex I don’t want to trust him as a mustart guy but I mean you you saw after the injury they went right back to him uh justice Hill has kind of been what he I I think will continue to be what he’s

Been which is you know seven to 10 Touches at best for for what they’re looking at they’re going to try and run the ball I mean you know especially if those guys are not there that’s what they’re going to do you know they don’t want to necessarily put it all on the

Mar and make him have to you know win the game for him not that I don’t think he can because he’s capable of doing that against anybody but uh I would imagine if they can get Gus in the 20 touch range I think there’s a stat I’ll

Go back and look at it there there there’s a stat of how many carries he gets to what their win loss record is makes a lot of sense you know obviously when when he’s rolling it it it works out but if you’re stuck at running back

This week I don’t think he’s a bad play he’s obviously not going to catch a lot of passes but they get near the goal line they’ve been running the ball and I think he’ll have an opportunity to do so he had what 10 touchdowns or nine touchdowns in that five game streak um

Not not not awful now that Mitchell’s out of the way so Define stuck like you have him ranked ahead of James Conor because I do uh no uh yes in non PPR do okay what about uh Deontay Foreman oh G easy nii uh no I like na

Week okay yeah no DJ reader I like him this we’re we’re totally backward on uh on how we feel about C I agree that he’s a good Fillin running back uh but I’m looking at my PPR rank he’s the only running back I would consider staring

Him over is nii because I don’t care if DJ reader’s playing not playing I just don’t think Na’s like rolling well right now and with the Steelers talking about making all these changes I wonder if that includes at running back and they use our um Foreman

Also yeah all right by the way people are asking why there’s no game of the week song right now I did it on Wednesday in case you missed it but I’m glad people are still into it uh so okay fill in the blank I would start these quarterbacks backs over Brock

Pie okay Jaylen Herz Patrick Mahomes Josh Allen I would start these quarterbacks over Lamar Jackson Jaylen Herz Patrick Mahomes Josh Allen Brock pie Dustin Fields also okay he’s so annoying he should be so much better every yeah yeah of course he should be but should be so much better every week it’s so

Frustrating little mistakes every game or every other game kind of cost him uhuh but in the games where you see him having like 30 plus fantasy points those are like the games where he’s awesome there there’s a couple like the first Pittsburgh game he was outstanding his

Receivers cost him numbers yes but I I you can’t he’s an MVP candidate for a reason he’s having a really good year statistically when you look look at him throwing the football completion rate’s great um is he running the ball as much as we thought that he

Would maybe not quite as much last week notwithstanding but I he’s he’s how they’re gonna win this game that’s not an obvious statement at all right huh but I wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up like exploding on the ground this week and which tight end do you like better I should say

Likely i k r tire but I I kind of like likely more I love that he’s running more routs than everybody except for Z flowers I like the way that he uh he he’s like a big bodied option Red Zone option seems to be on the same page with

Lamar Adam this is your cue to play the music again I’m not I’m not honestly I’m not playing so the thing I mentioned about KD last week is that he much more so than auk orbo is very much tied to how many yards Brock pie throws for and

Just looking at the game log for perie when he hits 270 or more yards George KD has a great game almost every time when he throws for fewer than that for fewer than 270 yards he struggles and last week he had 54 yards on four targets and

Perie had 200 what do you have 242 yards at Arizona I can’t sit here and tell you when he’s gonna throw 270 but I can tell you that’s kind of what’s been going on with George KD 270 against the rav Ravens is going to be tough but py can

Obviously do it all right and the dsts do you guys like either of these dsts no I like the Niners because I think they can get some turnovers in sacks I do not like the Ravens DST what if Armstead and hardgrave are out still still gonna start the

Ners so many better dstd options you could pick up this week so that’s the thing like I would agree like if you can can find the Bears DST Colts DST I would start them over the 49ers Broncos is better this week Bron yeah that’s another one that’s fair I don’t know if

They’re out there though are the bills still out there for two weeks Bill’s not out there uh you get those guys for two weeks yep I agree Detroit at Minnesota two dsts I would not want to use this week I already gave a stat of the game it’s the Minnesota running back carries

In their last five games their 13th in run rate in those five games and I do think that you know obviously got to point out Justin Jefferson didn’t play in four 3.75 of them but uh they are maybe changing it without Kirk Cousins and that’s good you know you need

Carries against Detroit uh all right so how how do you rank you you rank them Gibbs Chandler Montgomery no Montgomery Chandler PPR it’s uh Gibbs Chandler Montgomery all right talk to me about um Gibbs and montg doesn’t S Gibbs Gibbs really doesn’t get a ton of touches but he’s so good and Montgomery

Obviously kind of know what he is three straight games with right around 12 PPR fantasy points but three games before that he was more like 17 but we know he needs to score but yeah I mean Jamie you talked to me about the Detroit running backs and and the confidence level you

Have in them and again a tough matchup I think for Gibbs it’s just you know you’re you’re looking at the big play potential you’re looking at you know when he’s involved in the passing game he’s been fantastic um Can can win your fantasy week on one play it’s a

Tough matchup but I’m still starting him without really hesitation he’s top 12 running back um Montgomery said it he’s got a score and so this run defense has been fantastic really for the majority of the season but we know what Detroit’s offense is like when their offensive

Line is healthy and ragn now back last week was you know a big boost to that even though Montgomery didn’t score still got you uh 11 PPR points believe he was um so yeah th those guys are are kind kind of easy to figure out at this

Point I think Montgomery just more of a number two running back better in non PPR than full just with the touchdown potential and then for Chandler uh you saw the usage last week you know Kevin mconnell just continues to Rave about him as the week goes on maybe more so

Because of Madison seemingly not being able to go but that was their best running back performance of the Season by a mile and I think with the quarterback change to Mullins and the fact that dos was not necessarily going to throw to his running backs where Mullins I think will will because he’s

More of a statue back there that will help his role in the passing game so that’s why I would take him over Montgomery and his usage he’s not coming off the field really for anybody uh whereas you could see you know Gibbs and Montgomery continue to split I’m just

Worried that a lot of Chandler’s production was because of the matchup last week sure reader being up that’s why and I think that the line even if rer had played I still think that Chandler would have had a good game probably not as good as he actually had

Lions have only allowed five running backs to have 12 or more PPR points against them uh only three have had 100 total yards only seven running backs have 10 or more PPR points none in the past two games it makes me a little worried about Chandler I get where

You’re coming from with Montgomery uh starting Montgomery or starting Chandler over Montgomery because Montgomery himself good rushing metrics and he gets a lot of work but he hasn’t been delivering the touchdowns and that’s the thing so I go back and forth between those two as well

Um I just I wonder if Chandler kind of has a down game because of the matchup this week well I mean look that’s face they’re both facing Tough Run defenses you know so these are two of the best in the league so it’s just a matter of who

You feel has more potential and like I said I’ll go I’ll go with Chandler getting a few more catches than Montgomery and that’s why I would take the edge over him yeah you know it’s pretty interesting with the Lions right Dave just gave some stats about how good

They’ve been against running backs but in their last eight games they’ve allowed four running backs to score 16.8 or more PPR fantasy points and they all scored so that’s you know that’s always a big factor here but they played two games without defensive tackle of Lee

Mcneel and in the first game uh they gave up five 4.6 yards per carry to Deontay foreman and you look you say oh maybe it was a pretty big deal and then the next game they completely dominated 3.3 yards per carry to the Denver running backs much worse than that for

Javante Williams specifically so but I haven’t I haven’t ruled out the possibility that they are going to struggle a little bit without Al MC NE who apparently was their best run stuffer on that defensive line so we’ve only seen two games one good one bad but

I just want to throw that out there as maybe a bonus for for Tai Chandler uh Jefferson and amandra St Browner easy right obvious must start R them any I was actually a little surprised by your Jordan Addison rankings surprised to see him in the top

30 little bit of confidence there in him after the two touchdown game well it’s the matchup it’s the Lions cornerbacks versus Jordan Addison and Addison being able to shake free and Mullins giving us or at least giving me confidence that he can locate and throw to Addison now

There is a wrinkle that we have to talk about there’s a chance CJ Garner Johnson plays for the Lions and that could take away the middle of the field which has been open for a lot of pass catchers against Detroit lately but I still love those perimeter receivers because even

Though they can break in on routes like Jefferson does all the time they can still possibly they won’t see Garner Johnson as much so still like Jefferson a ton And Addison’s got the matchup he’ll have those outside matchups for sure it’s also the uh Hockinson Revenge

Game yes I was about to say that which uh which tight end do you guys like better Le pora but it’s close the door that would be laera if no an Italian laora oh okay uh hackinson leaport I’m guessing McBride and Kelsey are ahead of them anyone else in PPR they

Are anyone else are they are they three and four no those are my top yep those your top the joku right behind them at five gotcha uh quarter quarterbacks in this game they’re on a different level here but do you like golf this this Minnesota very tough

Match up I know that you had Jake Browning with the two touchdowns one of them a prayer but he was the first quarterback to do well in about two months against minnes OTA G coming off a 41-point game starter sit Jared G and then we’ll get to Mullins he’s a starter

Lowend starter um but indoors his last two indoor Road games he’s been good so you don’t have to worry about that um yes it’s a tough matchup I know it’s a different defense but he did really well against Minnesota for example last year so somewhat of the same Personnel but

Different scheme but in any event I think as long as his offensive line is healthy you trust jarro gof especially if there’s no weather conditions and he doesn’t have any weather conditions for the rest of the season so uh I think he’s still a top 10 quarterback and he’s

Uh he’s coming off a 21-point game the way to beat the Lions is not to necessarily run on them it’s to throw on them and with everybody healthy Jefferson Addison and hackinson should be able to uh have some success against this Detroit defense I’ve got Mullen

Just outside my top 12 jarro gof is inside my top 10 can you run me down the list of the quarterbacks that the Vikings have done a good job against in the last five weeks yeah sure I’d love to um Brock per last five weeks I’ll go back to Brock perie

13 points Jordan lovees 16 points Taylor heiki 16 Saints quarterbacks 17 Russell Wilson 16 Justin Fields nine remember that game Monday night no Connell four and then Jake Browning 22 I mean that’s really impressive I know there are some Duds there but but there’s perie with 13

Love with 16 Wilson 16 Fields with nine and with 59 rushing yards he scored nine points I I would just argue that aside from pry goof is a step up from all those others as a passer and that makes me kind of believe in him a little bit more we’ve seen Herz

Herbert moles theyve had at least 23 fantasy points we just saw Brian Browning have 22 and he was attacking them downfield and so I I just wonder if goth has too many weapons and is in just so in sync with this offense right now that you just get get away from him it

Would be different if his offensive line was bad but it’s not or Flo they’re back toback for me I go f i I’m the same way um but I’m gonna reserve the right to change my mind because flacko looks so terrible last week it was so bad Mullins or Jordan

Love Mullin agreed all right I think we’re done with this game let’s go to our next one my notes Here where’s my notes where we have the next game which is oh there it is Indianapolis at Atlanta I got a lot of notes how many I have

33,6 656 words in this document uh gner mshu any interest starter said Gardner mshu coming off a nice 26.6 point game against the Steelers he’s more he’s in a better standing with Pitman healthy but um they’re just a lot of good quarterbacks this week so we’ve seen

We’ve seen minchu with uh a healthy Jonathan Taylor and he hasn’t exactly put up a lot of great numbers and so with Taylor back I would lean away from starting him but super Flex 2qb if you need a guy and he’s been on your bench I

Think it’s a decent start this week I start him over Russ I start him over Kyler um borderline between him and Jordan love but I might lean love but still with uh with MCH with Pitman back it makes a lot easier to trust MCH if you need to Mullins and Browning ahead

Of mchu for me as it stands now it looks like Jonathan Taylor will play and Zach Moss will not so all the running backs that we’ve been talking about like Zeke and Ty Chandler and chuba hubber but it’s obviously we’re going Taylor over them right and you said it your bold

Prediction he’s gonna be the first one to score r i mean I would personally start him over Barkley and etn would you easy yes how about the starting Seahawks running backer Jonathan Taylor uh I have Taylor right now ahead of um Walker both CL same all right

Michael Pitman this is a tough matchup uh they give up the fewest fantasy points to wide receivers Atlanta and the second fewest fantasy yeah and the second fewest fantasy points to uh running backs I was goingon to say so but yeah start Pitman if he does not

Play is there any Colts receiver or tight end that just say no so we can move on no Alec Pierce would be the DFS tournament Dar throw okay sit Taylor hecki all right I’ll get to bejan in a second Dave Jam already said he’s excited about

Drake London what did you want to say about the quarterbacks hinei challenges downfield more he’s got a higher a DOT on his throws he’s got a higher um pass attempt of 15 plus air yards than Ritter does he’s got a lower interception rate than Ritter does and a higher touchdown rate

Than Ritter does they’ve only played I think it’s 23 snaps together heiki and Drake London three targets that’s it two catches for 28 yards but I’m encouraged by hinei being more willing to fire down field and London being there and London can dominate in one-on-one opportunities because he’s got this gargantuan size so

You should be encouraged to start Drake London don’t know if I love him as a top 12 wide receiver I think that’s where Jaime’s got him I appreciate the boldness but he should be in in the majority of fantasy lineups especially in PPR leagues let’s talk about bejan Robinson

Now well before we do that I’ll just say Kyle pittz is not ranked as a starter so don’t start him no but he’s gotten it he’s got a little bit of an edge with h too uh he against Minnesota right right basically only one full game of hinaki hinaki came in in

The fourth quarter against Tennessee played a full game against Minnesota and then he was terrible against I think it was Arizona and he HT his hamstring and he left but he didn’t throw that much they ran the ball all over Arizona okay anyway the Colts give up the third most

Fantasy points to running backs the fifth most receiving yards to running backs however how about this when Grover Stewart plays and he’s Super Grover is going to play uh three point 3.5 yards per carry allowed to running backs when he doesn’t play 4.6 yards per carry and

Those are big sample sizes that’s eight games with him and six games without him it’s a yard a little bit more than a yard better so that’s you know that’s bad however are are you guys feeling good about bejon this week he’s another one of those Barkley

Etn uh Derk Henry I don’t know who else you want to put in that canoe um but not uh not exactly someone you could sit but not someone that you should say is going to win you your week number two running back yep so of those four running backs bejan etn Henry

Barkley who do you have the most confidence in utn beon Barkley etn and whom Henry I have Barkley the highest against Philadelphia okay I would say bean I think I mean look that’s kind of where it is best match up is is Henry right it yeah oh man like Henry

Yeah um I just I don’t know I have so much faith in Bean but I think it’s it’s being tested he did two weeks ago he scored 19.8 fantasy points against the Bucks last week he scored 04 fantasy points at Carolina um and in his last

Five PPR or non PPR was negative fantasy points half PPR was negative was PPR I know that’s why I said half PPR Oh I thought you said none sorry it’s okay and he absolutely sucked um go ahead three of his last five games he’s got more than 17

Points so that’s good it’s good again you’re not benching any of these guys for the most no but you might have to make a decision between these guys yeah could have gotten to the fantasy playoffs with Barkley bejon and I don’t know the who the third guy would be guys

Yep right yeah so for me Dave and this is tough this time of year because I don’t necessarily treat these shows like I would in week eight when you’re talking to an entire league you’re talking to the best teams that are remaining and I just I just assume that

They have tough calls since they have the best players uh so that’s why you know I would probably just have moved on from be like he’s number two running back whatever but I feel like a lot of beon managers might have better options uh is Drake London a better

Option than beon Robinson as a flex yes absolutely they’re really close but I have bean higher all right let’s take a break we got Jacksonville at Tampa Bay we got four games left when we come back we’ll be right back on fantasy football today Jacksonville is at Tampa Bay

Here’s why I’m getting the gbes on Travis etn in his last six games he has scored more than 12.6 PPR fantasy points only twice and those are his only two games with a touchdown in that stretch he has become a touchdown dependent running back in the other four games without the

Touchdowns he scored 6.4 8.9 12.6 and 9.9 PPR fantasy points that’s three really bad games he’s gained Travis etn has gained fewer than 60 total yards in three of his last five games he has one run longer than 16 yards in his last eight games and and just I mean he’s averaging

3.3 yards per carry in his last nine games and he doesn’t have Trevor Lawrence I don’t think that’s good unless there are a lot of dump offs that’s the only thing I could see that’s what I would expect I would expect this to be a very Travis etn game for the

Jaguars because why would you put it on CJ Beth try to win the game yeah I just don’t know that he can get it done I think this is going to be a really good run defense again they’re healthy they got their linebackers back you can’t say healthy because Devon white was a

Healthy scratch okay that’s true how much of a difference maker is he like what are the what are their numbers he might be worse but but it’s still you know you keep mentioning he’s back uh he he was back last week and they decided

To bench him no but he was not the only linebacker that missed time recently right right lante David like matters more matters more right but now vea and David are back and they are just healthy on defense yeah no they they is huge literally in

Fig se but I think in terms of what he can do in the passing game I would I would expect Doug Peterson to make this a lot about Travis CN you have to like why would you put it on CJ Beth there’s no Christian Kirk uh Z Jones is banged up like

It’s let let bethard go out there and try and just you know Chuck to Evan Ingram and Calvin Ridley all day or try and slow the game down a little bit especially with the way the Bucs offense has been all makes sense they’ve used what what’s been the usage for Travis

Etn over the past few weeks but Trevor Lawrence has been healthy so it doesn’t really matter well no because we’re seeing like I want to see what the usage has been and like what the numbers have been with him not great he gets he had one game with 18 touches against

Cleveland and he had over 17 PPR points that felt good fantasy manager saw the touchdown that was a good game against a tough defense he had 15 touches against Cincinnati a lesser defense high scoring game scored in that game uh 17.9 PPR points yeah you you could almost put him

In the same situation as the other running backs that we talked about before but he’s got more upside because we know he’s a faster player you have put him in that situation yeah okay well I I’m hoping look he does get three to four catches basically every week so

Maybe he’ll get more hopefully that would be a safety blanket and would really help him uh are any confidence in anyone in the passing game for the Jaguars it’s a it is a great matchup I think you look at Ridley as a highend number three receiver he’s

Certainly better if if plays and Ingram again you know are you starting Isaiah likeley over Evan Ingram I think if likeley had a better matchup you might go that route but not for me he’s been awesome since Christian Kirk has been out and now Z Jones may not play so you

Know I think you just look at at Ingram as a plug-and play but set and forget it tight end and not worry about it um it looks it just you’d feel a lot better about all these guys if Lawrence is out there you know Parker Washington

Would be a decent you know pickup for this week you know Jamal agnu if you’re looking for a desperation play might be decent this week I think Beth is going to be a little more careful than Trevor Lawrence has been uh the career numbers on Beth

60% completion rate 59.5 if we want to get specific 6.9 yards per attempt touchdown rate is 3.4 ADOT is 7.2% um I I went back and watched some games of his a few weeks ago because I thought Lawrence was gonna miss it with the ankle and he doesn’t have the best

Arm I mean he’s a backup for a reason and so I wonder if he is more of a caretaker and checks down and if he does given the matchup I kind of like angram a lot because I think he could get a lot of targets and pick up some decent

Numbers that way and Ridley between the mistakes that he makes and the fact that he’s got a quarterback that doesn’t have as much confidence in his arm and might not see the field the same way that Lawrence does certainly doesn’t have the same velocity as Lawrence does um no

Better than what jimie said which is a highend number three wide receiver let’s not forget Doug Peterson Once Upon a Time won a Super Bowl with a backup quarterback that quarterback had a better arm than this one yeah um Baker Mayfield you guys are pretty confident in him he’s top nine

For or everyone Dave jam and Heath and uh I guess I I keep bringing up the pass attempts that doesn’t seem to matter Jacksonville defense is so bad they’re not getting great pressure on the quarterback they’re trying but they’re not last week was a little bit

Of a different story okay last week they were definitely in Lamar Jackson’s kitchen and just got out of every situation I don’t expect Baker to do that but I think Baker still on 30 to 33 pass attempts can find two touchdowns and the way that Godwin’s been playing

The way that Evans has played over the balance of the season I think there’s some big yardage that could be there maybe not 300 yards but 250 275 somewhere in that range hopefully no turnovers okay and the these numbers I keep giving is that he’s thrown 30 or

Fewer passes in five of his last six games they’ve been very very run heavy lately getting 20 carries basically on a weekly basis from Rashad white he’s running the ball well you know we’re obviously people are expecting I think the Jaguars could easily win this game it’s only a three-point spread but the

Bucks obviously are favors favorites at home come out on a three-game win streak here so pass volume does concern me a little bit but it’s very concentrated I mean that’s a good thing for Godwin If he if he gets the targets and Evans um oh we haven’t really seen both of them

Get a lot of targets right you know it’s like Evans has taking a step back as Godwin Godwin where did he crack your top 20 Chris Godwin uh PPR he’s right there non PPR he’s just outside yeah he’s 23rd for me in PPR before I move on to Goin I’m

Sorry who are some quarterbacks you would start baker Mayfield over uh love Kyler Gino Flo to uh assuming Tyreek Hill plays you’re still starting Mayfield over two yeah yes okay Chris Godwin or I hope I didn’t ask you this Drake London London uh London Chris Godwin or Nico

Collins Godwin and PPR Collins and N Jamie do you have London over Mike Evans too no okay yeah Mike Evans is he’s still top you know eight whatever yes yes 10 10 whatever okay Jackson’s Bad it’s true but Cisco and Campbell two starters in their secondary both Limited in practice

On Wednesday and Thursday so they could be getting those two pieces back Rashad White’s top six in both formats start Mike Evans I I almost was tempted to put white one at of mcaffry this week he’s so good oh yeah he’s he’s incredible it’s amazing I mean they they if if there is

A chance for a record in receptions for a running back it could happen This Week Jacksonville is that bad and that’s what Rashad white just lives but he doesn’t lately that’s the funny thing is he’s been this is the week though that’s true that’s a great thing

About white if they’re in a good game script they will rely on him with carries if they’re not they will rely on him with catches he is is perfect um all right last thing here was would you start Godwin over etn saquon Barkley uh Derk Henry and the fourth guy in there oh

Pan I think Henry is the only one that I would start him over in full PPR who’ you ask I’m sorry those four running backs etn the heie GBS Barkley etn Henry he GB canoe and ban yeah and who who over who Godwin we you start Godwin over any oh um in

PPR no okay not PPR definitely not yeah like you don’t want to get too excited about God right because two weeks ago he had 11 targets it was five catches for 53 yards y so you don’t want to get to but i’ say was even worse well he had

Five catches for 53 yards and then the game before is when he had his rushing touchdown but three targets and no catches pretty safe floor of having around 10 PPR points I think you can guarantee yourself that with Godwin but the the breakout games have been few and

Far between this year we’ll see if it continues he’s had two great games one came when Mike Evans left absolutely yep Giants are at the Eagles here’s how the Giants do against Elite teams this year they lost by 40 to Dallas by 18 to the

49ers by 15 at Miami and they had a pick six in the end zone in that game so that could have been a lot worse that was a 14-point swing they lost by five at Buffalo that was good and they lost by 23 at Dallas these teams destroy the

Giants and it’s usually really bad for them in fantasy um so yeah I’ve got more stats here but I’ll just shut up and let you guys talk your thoughts on uh the is this game pretty easy you just like start all Eagles well Devonte Smith gotta keep an eye on his knee um

You know hopefully he’s okay and I think that kind of sways Dallas Goddard you know if Goddard does not have Devonte Smith you got to be a little bit more encouraged by it if there is Devonte Smith Goddard has a terrible history against the Giants in his last five

Games it’s like 17 catches 140 yards I think it is really and no touchdowns um and obviously he’s not played great the last two games since coming back from the injury but uh should be a decent game for DeAndre Swift unless of course Mr Boston Scott come to play you want

Your your stats yeah this is all right just give me one sec talk about something else I I’ll add this with GD the Giants have allowed 8.6 or fewer half PPR points to a tight end in nine of 12 games Joan Johnson had 10 in week

15 you’d have to go back back to week 10 to find another tight end that did well it was Jake Ferguson so tough matchup Jamie mentioned the history and we’ve seen Dallas G take a big time back seat since coming back from his uh from his

Injury I had to disagree a little bit though um Tu Tucker craft and Jawan Johnson were fine but well no I mentioned Jawan Johnson had 10 half PPR points and Tucker craft had 10 PPR points that’s 10.4 I think so the Giants have given up 10.4 to 12.6 full PPR

Fantasy points to a tight end in four of their last five games they have not they have only given up one big game to a tight end all year it was George KD so it’s more about the catches than it is them like being leaky yardage wise and

Then Joan Johnson with the touchdown last week I think the Giants defense which has been a little confusing and Jimmy G is is totally a home Road thing I mean they are much much better at home this is a road game their defense stinks on

The road as we saw last week all right here’s Boston Scott eight games against Giants in his career 86 carries 414 yards nine touchdowns 17 catches 222 yards and one touchdown on 22 targets he has a touchdown in eight games in a row against them going back to 2019 does

That include the playoff game I did not include the playoff game that’s only regular season okay and now he’s playing at home against this team on Christmas and everybody knows about like Boston Scott’s Great against the Giants by the way if he had a touchdown he scored in the playoff [Laughter]

Game would it surprise you if he had one carry for one yard all right uh start over one carry for two yards and a touchdown it would be just fantastic if they just did the tush push with him once not for anybody that’s clearly starting Jaylen Herz because you want

Him to get those points but if this is a blowout Boston you’re in I think he the first touchdown of the game how do you feel about Darren Waller uh low-end starter I mean again you’re talking about a bad secondary that hopefully this is where you know

The Giants can have some success and keep this game competitive um you saw last week four for 40 you know it’s it’s funny because uh I’m I’m hoping the same thing it’s it’s totally random but just it was exact same stats and targets Isaiah lik first game without Mark

Andrews was four for 40 on six targets and that was Waller’s exact stat line when he came back and then he blew up afterwards so um it just because I kept I kept referencing that for like two weeks because of the waiver wire column um I just hope he he he’s more involved

Look he he looked okay uh in in his first game back they clearly need help everywhere and so you know DeVito is going to be under a lot of duress and you know chasing points and so should be an uptick and targets if he can get double digit and targets he should have

An opportunity continue to play well will he score who knows but lowend tight end one I think he falls in that range and you’d start him over Godard I would assume uh unless Smith is out yes yeah I would rank it likely Waller GD assuming Devonte Smith plays yeah agree Dave

You’re the high guy on Barkley EV been your top 10 you want to the Eagles the Eagles have been very bad quite frankly against running backs yeah lately six of the last running backs well six last eight whatever they’re stat in there somewhere but they’ve been oh three last

Three running backs mcaffrey 22 points par Pard 16.6 he had seven catches Ken Walker 20.2 um yeah go ahead you want to make the case for Barkley the the case for Barkley is that he gets more work this week than last week and the matchup isn’t as uh unfavorable as it looked

Like a month ago you just talked about how running backs have been doing against them the thing that I just took a look at and this is in the first half last week saquin was not on the field for third Downs so we played about two

Twoth thirds of the snaps in the first half of the game but it was Matt breed on third down so there was a change there in how they were using him I wonder if he’s not at 100% And if we knew that for sure he wasn’t at 100%

There’s no way that he should be uh in the heebie GB canoe he should be floating behind the canoe clearly with heebies and Jeb’s uh read the list of running backs have done well against him maccaffrey par Kenneth Walker yeah and two of those obviously great offenses

One you got figur the Eagles just been beat up and tired I mean the stretch of games that they had was ridiculous and so not that they’re rested but to come back home and have to face this team I mean look at the spread you know this is

Going to be a blowout so how much is Barkley playing in the second half of this so uh must sit guy no must start guy barely Barkley has seven touchdowns this year they came in four games Arizona which is the best matchup Washington twice which is one of the

Best and Green Bay which is becoming a really good one for running backs too uh he just has a lot of really disappointing games and DeVito doesn’t really throw the ball to him that much doesn’t throw the ball that much to begin with all right uh for the Eagles

Jaylen Herz is like a top two quarterback he should get back on track um Dave mentioned on the live stream last night he hasn’t been completing the Deep ball that was mostly last week he went 0 for four on pass attempts of 20 or more air yards remember he’s playing

Sick so um we’ll see if we can get back to that DeAndre Swift so where’s Swift rank with the with the Aaron Joneses and the chuba hubs and the Devon single teries of the world DeAndre Swift this week he’s right behind but I think I’m I’m I’m gonna

Change your mind Adam play Swift over Barkley really yeah okay so I don’t have that actual decision but I do have I think I know I’m starting him over Eckler so I like that Swift over Eckler yeah yeah and that this is where sequan comes into play like if we’re

Worried about Eckler because he has look right and he’s not getting the workload that we’re used to seeing and he’s going to get blown out and so what’s the difference between that and Barkley like I’m thinking about this right now recognizing that I’ve got Squan too high

But like if if I knew that saquin wasn’t gonna if he was gonna have the same type of workload this week as last week uh I’d still start him over Eckler but this is when I would get nervous about sequan being a good fantasy start all right we

Have two games left we got to get going a little bit here but so my last question for this is first of all you guys do like the eagles DST Jamie and Heath love the Eagles DST Dave has him seventh I believe um I moved them up

They’re top five okay and then Devonte Smith is he if he plays is he a must start he’s all right Arizona’s at Chicago the Bears have 12 interceptions in their last four games holy cow yeah we have talked a lot about James Connor uh Connor or Swift swift I have Connor higher

If you want to hear more about James Connor we did a tough calls segment on Wednesday about him we talked about him earlier on this show in one question for each game Dave likes him more than Jamie does Kyler Murray is a Sit he’s like

20th sit him uh not going to start I don’t even know which wide receivers are GNA play for the Cardinal so it’s just Trey McBride basically is the only must start for the Cardinals and he’s number one or number two in the rankings depending on the analyst all right Jamie

You seem to have a good deal of confidence in Justin field Fields you have him fifth Dave has him ninth you can have the first word on fields I mean the Cardinals are terrible so it’s easy for fields to have some success here he’s done well in these type of matchups

Uh last week was a tough match up for him against Cleveland his statline would have looked so much better if first off Robert tunan catches that ball down the the right sideline um would have been a 70 yard touchdown for him um he I hope I haven’t checked uh lately but the stat

Correction should have come that the first interception should not have counted cuz it was was dropped on the hill Mary at the end of the first half but in any event he’ll get back to running only 30 yards rushing last week he’d been over 50 to the last two weeks

Um I just think they’re going to have the ball all day and the Bears should be able to do whatever they want to against the Cardinal defense so DJ Moore huge game coming uh hopefully Co KET as well um they should be able to run the ball

Also I just think this could be a Bears block and Dave you’re a little lower on Justin Fields with him ninth that’s behind Lamar Jackson Baker Mayfield Jared G it’s not because of the matchup it’s not because I think that the Cardinals defense is good I think the

Bears are going to be able to run the ball well so Deontay Foreman’s kind of like a sleeper for me Cardinal have allowed 4.6 yards per Rush on the season but 5.7 yards per rush in their past four games Fields attempted 40 passes last week he only completed 19 of them

Should have been 21 as Jamie alluded to but I still feel like the Bears want to get back to being balanced so I’m I I’m I’m a little more cautious about Justin Fields but he’s still top 10 for me and still somebody that I’ve Got Confidence in coming through for a good fantasy

Game DJ Moore is a must start guy but it’s kind of weird the Cardinals in their last five games they’ve held Drake London to 6.6 points puka to 6.7 cup to 4.8 iuk to 6.7 it’s been a little strange um but start DJ Moore and uh

Yeah the how about K Kat is K KT ahead of say that I think it was likely Waller is K ahead of them yeah one spot ahead I might move likely ahead of him this on paper is a tough matchup they’re fourth best I like likeley better than than KT

But he’s right in that range okay Arizona’s actually held Mark Andrews Dalton Schultz George KD twice Logan Thomas Jake Ferguson Kyle pittz David njoku and Pat fouth to fewer than 50 yards some of them did score though and we like the Bears d St and our last game is Green Bay at

Carolina all right uh one more time last time for the record Aaron Jones or chuba hubard Jones without Dylan chuba with Dylan sounds about right okay um Jordan love no how much will he do yeah it it’s the same story every week with Carolina but to be fair they’re not just good against

Quarterbacks they give up the fewest points to quarterbacks not just because of their they give up rushing work um seventh best in passing yards per attempt allowed too so I think they have a legitimately good pass defense and you got the wide receiver injuries too would you start Flaco and Mullins

Over yep you and Bryce Young no liar muu or Jordan love as of now love but that might change Dave give me the scenarios in which you would start a Packers receiver if Jaden Reed or Christian Watson were to practice on Friday and get the green light I’d feel okay

Starting them as number three options that’s about it if they’re both out then Dante tavan Wix is the one that is the number three option if if Luke Musgrave doesn’t play would you start Tucker craft or Dallas GD I think I have craft over Goddard assuming that Devonte Smith

Plays okay and uh sit Bryce young he has scored singled digigit fantasy points as a quarterback in six straight games chuba hubard it’s gonna go down as one of the worst draft picks ever it’s yeah I feel AR wait can’t you give him a chance for next year though just

Sure but you have to factor in what they traded to get him and so he’s got to outperform all those picks to justify the move oh I don’t think anybody liked the trade for Carolina when it happened except for Panthers fans and now they don’t like it for obvious reason the

Bears loved it oh yeah well they should have it was a fantastic trade finally they made a good trade after the Claypool trade and hundred other trades that they’ve made but I I I want to give Bryce the benefit of the doubt in year two different coaching staff hope a

Better offensive line schemed up better he has to be schemed up that’s just how it is but I’m I’m not ready to write him off as a total dud his guys don’t really get open either so definitely needs a wide receiver uh chuba hubard is about 21st

In the rankings Adam Thelen Adam I kinda yeah glad you brought him up yeah I kind of like him really just because of how bad this Packers defense is kind of like him I think he’s a number three receiver this this week in PPR he’s a number three receiver every

Week in PPR and I kind of like him yeah well I’m not going to rank him as a top 24 guy let’s not go crazy but unfortunately he’s been kind of like a number four these are his PPR fantasy points in his last eight or nine games

1.2 5.5 12.4 8.3 10 12.9 4.2 7.2 I mean that is terrible I I think he can get 13 PPR points again screen B that would be his most since I don’t even oh no you know what I screwed up I screwed up I read one good game in there I read some

Of Jonathan mingo’s stats in there so in his last eight games 15 eight for DJ CH game nine for Jonathan Mingo game 10 for Terence Marshall oh there’s my bad no he has been really bad though I mean it’s it’s uh 12.4 or fewer in six of his last eight games in three

Of his last four games it’s 8.3 or fewer PPR fantasy points and the big one of the big differences is he’s barely out targeting Jonathan Mingo so Mingo has a has not done anything but he’s taken targets from theen and you know what though it’s funny because like we hate

That clearly because you know the’s been a decent fantasy option that’s smart on the Panthers like yeah get get their young guys going yeah okay um sit the Carolina tight ends and the would you start the Packers DST over the Ravens and Niners uh yes not over the ners but over the

Ravens I’m just going to read this question because it’s funny because it’s two commercials k r a ft or the touch the field of aen oh look I get a chance to sing yeah totally I think Adam singing makes the Oden one better but it has to be Adam singing it

How does the how does the C is it R aft is that how that’s it that’s it but no one remembers that one most most people remember theot one yeah all right later everybody that’s the question we get question every show and that’s the one you answer it’s too bad the Falcons

Didn’t draft craft because then we could have hin hinin to craft beer cheese instead they drafted pits and that offense is the pits someone says remember oil of olave of course I remember oil of olave is still the best team Nave I’ve ever had speaking of that I can’t wait to talk to

Dan day yeah what are we gonna make fun of him for today oh he’ll just do something on his own told him to watch just friends and he refused he’s I don’t have time for just friend it’s like come on man he refused he said he was too

Busy are you confusing him with me because I told you I wasn’t gonna watch it either I’m telling everybody to watch just friends it’s that funny that’s a good movie yeah hey Adam what who does your son think is going to win between the Eagles and the Giants oh yeah Jamie

My son walks he loves obsessed with football right now gets home from school yesterday washes his hands goes to the table to have a snack he goes Adam unprompted he goes the Eagles are going to crush the Giants nice okay thanks buddy appreciate that all right um L

Don’t force your son into your misgivings no he only he he only likes teams based on how cool their mascot or their logo is he likes don’t force him to be a hurricanes fan Don’t force him to be a Giants fan he’s a Jag be a Yankees fan at this point Nick for

Happy holidays everybody we’ll talk to you later on the mailbag

  1. #askfft for the holidays, well at it again with my 4 RBs. Kamara and Williams played and I need to know if I should stick with Bijan or go with a streaming QB in superflex position. Tommy cutlets, Hospital ball Heinicke or O’Connell?

  2. Damn did not expect Carr to drop 30 plus on the road on Thursday night was thinking about picking him up to play over Flacco

  3. It was Carr’s best fantasy game since 2019. Enraging to witness when he’s your qb2 and you also have olave BUT got bounced in round1.
    Thanks New Orleans!
    Anyone else wanna share some of their salt?

  4. This year was a GREAT year for waiver pick ups. Puka, Kyren, the TE’s leporta and McBride. Achane for a while was going crazy… just insane year for waivers lol

  5. FLEX SPOT..
    Jakobi Meyers vs KC
    McLauirn vs NYJ
    Parker Washington vs TAMPA BAY
    Diontae Johnson vs CIN
    THIS IS FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP 🏆🏆‼️

  6. So full ppr I'm going back and forth who should I start kittle (I'm starting purdy) or Mcbride, browns dst or bears dst?

  7. Both safteis, Gibbons the LB, and Simmons DL are out for the Titans and Levis is gonna try to gut it out — Titans are gonna be slaughtered. I think game script will allow both Seahawk RB's to prosper as they eat up the clock. I do not look for a big Geno passing game here in what will be an ugly one sided game. IDP look for Chubb to get to Prescott with OL problems in Dallas, also Spillane is on a tear, and Niner safty Jiyair Brown will rock and make a name for himself this weekend. Vikes vs Lions will be a high scoring shootout. Special shout out t Addison, Gibbs, and Jamison Williams who finally shows his pedigree indoors in the dome!

  8. FFT Analyst Team – Adam is QB (Cause he manages the show) – Dave is RB1 (Cause he knows them rbs) – Jaime is WR1 (Always Reliable) – Heath is TE1 (On Kelcie Tier though) – Gibbs is WR2 (He's up and coming talent) – Dan is the kicker (when you're just taking a chance from 60+ and don't really expect to hit it lol)

  9. I drafted Kyren Williams in my first dynasty league.. held him for a year and then dropped. It will haunt me forever 😢

  10. I've been playing fantasy football since the year TB won it with Gruden. My philosophy on players is to play the players that got you there. Unless they are hurt.

  11. going with Tua over Kyler…..1 RB league starting R. White…….2 WRs Tee Higgs and probably Diggs……need 1 Flex : who do you start standard PPR: Chuba, Addison, J. Palmer, Jakobi, Swift, Ekele(no chance hes killed me)………still considering sitting Diggs for a HR in Palmer or Addison

  12. I have a Lions triple stack Gibbs Montee and Laporta Leary about starting all 3 in playoff game I also have Jacobs and Mostert and Mc Bride as a backup TE should I flex him if Pittman is out what do you think?

  13. I can't decide what to do with superflex. If levis is out my options are.

    Jeudy, Chase Brown, Rudolph, Stick. Also I'm thinking of benching Terry

  14. i think if youre gonna penalize missed kicks, just remove the kicker all together. 8pts on the high end as is.

  15. Kamara is Sorry !
    What's his rushing average 2.5 yards pee carry. Is Kamara Washed or is it everyone elses Fault ? He dont ever score.

  16. Started Kupp over Puka..😩😩😩😩 31pts on the bench and I’m facing Amon Ra and CeeDee😢
