Keep Bijan Robinson, Austin Ekeler open in Week 16 | Fantasy Football Happy Hour | NFL on NBC
https://www.youtube.com/NFLonNBC

What’s your thoughts about the final three games now and not relenting into despair no I I don’t see that in this team I know that’s not this team me personally that’s not uh you know I’m not offensively I don’t we won’t allow it it open or close it out an odd

Sequence with Kyler Murray help do you relent into despare hona yeah whenever I go home right after the show every day super super weird I I same but when I sit at the desk it’s basically pretty much when I wake up I run lent into Despair and it doesn’t go away until I

Fall asleep basically that’s every waking moment yeah I like how robotic though Kyler’s just like yeah the ridiculous question yeah yeah just all right let’s just get through this unbelievable Kyler Murray uh headlines are keep it open or close it out trying to by way that’s a good

Fantasy team despair relent to despair yeah should have been my te yeah exactly time stick hard the stickman will I will be relenting into despair if I don’t be Jay and I’m I’m seriously nervous bothering you I can tell I’m totally you’re a minus 250 favorite th% I have nothing to

Lose he has nothing to lose give AET top you you are you’re playing with house money you shouldn’t even be here like you shouldn’t even made the playoffs and now you got the ninth best team in a 12 team League exactly now two away baby from the ship it it’s that you

Understand that and you understand that I should be in your spot right now no your team was he said out 12 team yeah no he which means there three teams worse than his and yours is one of them damn yeah relent and despair don’t car

On yeah you know you had Anthony you you had bad injury luck you had like just every big name I’m just trying to include myself in this playoff talk you know it’s you know I feel you can root for me how about that Kyler Mur Matthew the question

Simply is can you start Kyler Murray in the playoffs this week he’s got the Bears the Bears defense has played extremely well uh and right now it looks like as we show the graphic here you have him right on The Fringe Quarterback 13 but not everybody might have one of

Those top 12 quarterbacks yeah I mean I think he’s that I think fringy is right you know Kyler’s had back-to-back games himself with under 14 fantasy points and over the last month only one team in the NFL has allowed fewer fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks then the Chicago

Bears are actually tied for the most takeaways in the NFL over that stretch they’ve allowed one or few were touchdown passes and three of the past five Kyler doesn’t seem to be running the way he was earlier when he came back and so this is a concern when you think

About how strong that defensive line is and how well this defense has played since they got Montes sweat like they can really get after the quarterback and assuming they they stay disciplined like I don’t know that there’s going to be a lot of room for Kyler Murray to run

Having said that like you just may not have an option some of the other guys out there that I mean you know again you’re starting East and stick I mean like I’m in a I’m in a dynasty League playoff you guys tell me but like I’m in

A real struggle here I have I have four it’s a a superflex dynasty League I have four quarterbacks Trevor Lawrence Baker Mayfield Kyler Murray Jared gof Trevor Lawrence and Baker Mayfield on against each other that’s assuming Trevor Lawrence clears concussion protocol which he’s in that decision may be made

For me but then you got so you got Baker against the Jags Kyler against uh the Bears and uh jar gol at Minnesota yeah I will say about so it’s that’s like they’re all sort of right there they’re all kind of fringey it doesn’t seem like

There’s a clear con answer i’ play golf yeah gol golf indors gol indoors Minnesota would be first for me same but mean you see my rankings there I have golf a little bit lower just in terms of the numbers the projections spit out Kyler slightly higher you closing that

Out no no no no I’m I’m probably still keeping it open on Kyler Murray I mean like again it’s just kind of like it’s on the it’s on the borderline you know I guess I guess he closing out a little bit cuz it’s outside my top 12 but like

With the Bears defense as well I know it’s been it’s much improved particularly since they got sweat they’ve also played some bad quarterbacks lately they played Joe flacker they played Bryce young Josh dobs uh Derek Car in the Saints like they don’t they haven’t been it’s not like they’re playing Patrick Mahomes and

Josh Allen every week so I think they are a little bit inflated this is true but they I mean but this game’s at home in Chicago uh where you know it’ll be cold right I mean and Jared gof they shut down Jared gof who then the next

Week yeah golf Outdoors is kind of like well exactly I I mean uh Joe flacko ended up being quarterback nine he threw those three picks but 374 and the two touchdowns Kyler did run for 49 last week so that’s kind of why and he’s my Quarterback 13 uh this week as well and

It’s because of that uh upside the game too it’s it’s 44 and a half so it it might be some type of points in this game especially you get Justin field on one side running the ball Kyler Murray on the other side they did the the Cardinals did go into Pittsburgh a

Couple weeks back beat them Steelers but again you they had Miss trubisky but still um you know it like I feel the same way it’s like you you keeping it open like this open like that cuz he Quarterback 13 but you know it’s still KY muray it’s like this it’s at the bar

It’s closing time you’ve had enough nothing’s happening tonight you’re looking around you’re like you know whatever and like do I go home or I have one more I probably should go home I’ll keep it open but I shouldn’t you I’ll have one more and then you end up regretting it you know something

Happens yeah you something happens and then it almost never does some good can happen too though yeah you never know 1% chance 1% chance so you’re telling me there’s a chance every once in a while Jay Croucher comes in it’s it’s Buffalo it’s cold he needs a place to stay yeah

Things happen every once in a while one magical night one magical night how about bejan Robinson Here season low on touches with eight and yards with 14 last week in the fantasy playoffs but if you have bejn Robinson seems kind of hard to sit him where do you stand on

This one I think you probably have to keep it open but not with any confidence I understand the Colts recently have not been great against opposing running backs but I don’t really care about their past six seven weeks overall because all I care about is when Grover

Stewart is in the lineup CU he is their entire run defense and when he plays they have an above average run defense and when he doesn’t they have basically the worst run defense in the NFL he is their entire unit there and he is playing now and he’s had a couple weeks

Under his belt since he had the six week suspension so I think that spells bad news uh for bean in this matchup but at the same time you know you drafted him in the first two rounds you probably have to start it I think you have to I’m

Going to keep it open as well I’m at you know I’m at running back 21 so just kind of you know borderline right there I mean if you you s if you you are playing this week with Bean Robinson congratulations you survived like one of the worst fantasy failures of all time

Historic prop proportions negative fantasy points from a guy that was drafted in the first round of every single Fantasy Draft of a guy that had been you know this kind of top five guy for a month prior and then just insane Arthur Smith usage but to your point

About the Colts uh Jay over the last month the team has the Colts have allowed the third most fantasy points to opposing running backs they’ve allowed at least 100 rushing yards to a running back in three of the P four and from weeks 12 through 14 bejn Robinson was

You know was the eighth best running back in fantasy so I just sort of feel like if you’re telling me a running back’s going to get 100 yards against the Colts I feel like it’s likely bejan Robinson clearly the change of for all the author of Smith bashing that I can

Do will do and will do in the future you know listen it’s Christmas right so mean Ghost of Christmas pass G Ghost of Christmas present Ghost of Christmas future I want to redo that but all it every single ghost is just me yelling at Arthur Smith Arthur Smith when he’s a

Coordinator of the Town Titans Arthur Smith now is head coach of the Falcons and in the future Arthur Smith like offense coordinator from high school um stop it with the commanders no High School River SMI exactly he’s going to be a coordinator some he’s going to be a coordinator like the Birmingham

Stallions arur Smith don’t care about Christmas either if he ain’t giving bej Robinson ball you think he care about Christmas oh no absolutely stocking full of coal for Arthur Smith what I will tell you though is is that clearly clearly Arthur Smith is sitting there looking at Christmas Past and

Christmas future and saying like I you know what I I went from desm to Taylor hinek it didn’t work last week I went on the road to Carolina and I lost a game that I should have won by like you know a touchdown and I lost it um so I do

Think he changes up what he did last week which starts with a quarterback and also starts with oh yeah that’s right I’ve got this guy on my team that’s insanely talented he’s going to get the rock so I don’t feel good about it because it’s still Arthur Smith and he

Devis all logic and you know he should have gotten him last week and I you know who the hell knows and he’d probably sit here and be like yeah what corn pass and scor the touchdown that wasn’t why we lost and that that play right there got

No problem with that particular play of course not it’s tou right but it’s like yes and be had a bad fumble okay but whatever like but there was a whole it was a whole game before Pi yeah it was a you know so I don’t know can’t trust him

We leave it like I got him at running back 23 I’m going leave it open though because I have him at running back 23 and not 43 I just don’t know that you’re going to have it in week 16 I don’t know that you’re going to have an option on

Your team that has the upside and potential volume of bejan Robinson that you feel better than Bean Robinson if you do you know God Bless but I just so I’m I’m I’m nervously keeping it open you you spoke about people making it through with BJ I’m one of those people

You know who I benched Raheem moster you know who I’m not benching this week for bean Raheem rahem oer thank you Kiron Williams for you know he he carried my running back group there so there you go our next one here Austin Eckler kind of an interesting comment from Eckler on

The end of the season he said I know I’m the same player but that doesn’t matter when it comes to the contracts when it comes to the media when it comes to betting it’s making sure I prove it to you guys Lawrence singled digit fantasy points in four of his past five games

For a guy that’s a Fantasy legend in Austin Eckler can you keep this one open um I’m actually gonna close this one out um no no Justin Herbert we saw Easton stick in his first start you would have liked to see something besides garbage time against the Raiders I don’t know

How that off well I kind of got an inkling how that offense is going to Faire against the the Buffalo Bills um speaking you you spoke on four of his last five games I just mentioned Kiron Williams he just ran for 152 yards in week 15 Austin Eckler has ran for 174

Yards his last five games and he’s getting three and a half catches in that in that span so it’s not like he just killing it in the receiving game either so that coupled with the fact that isah Spiller getting carries um Josh Kelly’s getting carries um I’m I’m afraid of

That start this week especially in this match up it might be different if it was a different team but the Buffalo Bills is knocking out everybody in their way right now yeah I will say with e at least past two games in particular he’s looked better physically he’s looked

More explosive uh he was able to come into the game late break off uh a little 10 yard run uh which he was very excited about uh in the fourth quarter I think he is very aware clearly with his comments of just his statistical production particularly this time of

Year and I think that he wants to perform clearly uh it’s just a matter of where they CLE keep the game close enough that it doesn’t become the Isaiah Spiller show well he he’s a fantasy football player himself he’s a friend of the show by the way he’s an investor in

Fantasy Life it’s one of the reasons why we wanted him on the cap table candly is just because of his awareness of fantasy football and betting and everything else in statistics and the fact of the matter is is that I was encouraged by the fact that he was getting he still was getting

Some touches in their game last week they’re down like 50 points yeah he was in the fourth quarter he was in the fourth quarter like that game was over by the first quarter but he was still out there and so again the bills over the last month are a bottom 12 run

Defense I do think Eckler gets enough volume I’m keeping it open on him again the same way with Bean like I don’t feel great about it but the just the potential volume and upside I don’t know that you have better options than him

He’s a he’s more of a flex than a RB one or two which is crazy to think about given you know what a legend he is but uh I do think I do think he’ll have a little bit more success he wants to finish strong and it’s not a matchup

That scares you our next running back Matthew Bree Hall against your commander season low 18 yards on just seven touches last week which was a disaster class of a game for the Jets offense against the Dolphins but the reality is on Christmas Eve Bri Hall has his maybe

Best matchup of the Year everyone’s best match up is against my commanders they’re they’re brutal uh I’m keeping it open on Bree Hall I’m as a top 10 play this week over the last four weeks only one team in the NFL gives up more fantasy points per game to opposing

Running backs than my beloved Washington commanders they’ve given up 100 yards in from scrimmage to a running back in six straight games six straight games a running back has gotten at least 100 yards from scrimmage against the commanders you assume Bree Hall will be number seven when he sees at least 15

Touches this year he’s averaging over 18 f FY points for game they don’t want Trevor Simeon throwing it and they’re not going to need to against the commander so yeah give me some Bree Halls a top 10 play this week yeah I’m going lead this open they’ll throw it

But it’ll be in the short game to Bree Hall uh the commanders have uh have allowed seven touchdowns to running backs in their last uh four games so yeah we’re keeping it open there’s not much to add here it’s the commanders our last running back Jay motor single ter

Last week was his first game with more than 13 touches since week 11 he’s got the Browns which can be a tough matchup in general but if he gets that kind of volume can you keep this one open I think so reluctantly but just with the

Volume with the fact that he clearly has taken over this back field from Damen pierce with the fact also that they are not going to want to have case Kum drop back and throw 40 times in this game and also the Cleveland Browns their run defense is very solid it’s not the same

Unit though as their pass defense so I think that they will be running the ball as much as possible and single ter is the beneficiary yeah and prior to week 15 the Browns had allowed a touchdown to a running back in five straight games and so single Terry who’s averaging 76%

Of the Texans Russians over the last two weeks I think volume gets him there he comes in at running back 25 for me but I’m keeping it open I think he is a you know a better than average Flex based on volume Lawrence our first wide receiver

Z flowers he’s got the ners in a tough matchup and he’s coming off a week where he had a season low two Targets where does he rank for you uh this week I got him at wide receiver 29 uh still gonna keep it open though uh San Francisco we

Know they’re great overall defense in terms of like real football on the fantasy front though they’re 17th they’re only the 17th best out of Lou fantasy points to receivers uh we saw DK metf and Tyler Lockett have solid days against them recently we saw the same

With AJ Brown and Devonte Smith both of those guys were able to get uh over 95 yards and you just versus this San Francisco defense you’re not just going to you’re not just going to run the ball down they throat you’re going to have to throw that ball against that defense so

I’ll leave it open for Z he been pretty consistent outside of his last game so and he’s he’s their guy you know Odell’s coming up he’s been coming up but Z flow he’s still a guy so I’m going to keep it open Yeah couple quick things on Z One

The internet was a blaze yesterday with rumors that Z flowers was in a walking boot with an MRI now that turned out not to be real but it was reported more reputably that he does have foot soreness so there is something there and he only had the two Targets last week

Which is really weird considering so I would suspect there is an actual injury even if it’s not going to keep him out of this week so that would just be one thing to know to be a little bit wary of with Z flowers it’s a must-win game for

Both of these teams like the potential Super Bowl preview I have met wide receiver 27 so I’m keeping it open but again somewhat a little bit reluctantly but I’m going to go there just because I think the Ravens will have to throw they’re they’re uh five five and a half

They’re fiveo underdogs on the road at San Francisco and it’s worth noting that in every game this year except for two opponents have thrown at least 31 pass attempts against the Niners like you can throw against San Francisco I think that’s what Lamar is going to have to do

Lamar not only does they want to win this game obviously but more importantly this game is a referendum on the MVP race we’ve talked about this it has really come down to Pie versus Jackson and so the quarterback that wins this game is most likely your MVP at the end

Of the year and I think Lamar after the big contract wants to prove like I’m the guy and so he’ll be throwing I think he’ll be he’ll be wanting to show off not the pretty won’t be but uh if if Lamar Jackson is going to have a big

Game he’s likely going to need Z flowers to be heavily involved in that our last one here jacobe Myers Lawrence against the Chiefs we saw jacobe Myers throw a touchdown last week he’s got 15 plus fantasy points in two of his past three games this one been a fringe most of the

Season can you keep it open with the playoffs in the line I’m definitely closing that out with the playoffs in the line he’s touchdown to pended how many times is he going to we’ve seen him throw touchdowns quite a bit but how do we expect that again he’s got uh less

Than 50 receiving yards and six in his last seven games although that one game was against the Chiefs but h no he’s not inside my top 40 this week seven games in which Aiden oconnell has started a quarterback so far this year and uh uh jomi Myers has been under nine points in

Four of them uh as a whole He averages just 10.7 fantasy points per game in all the the games that a no Connell has started AOC is going to start again this week as well so M Myers who’s averaging under 40 yards a game to me I’m closing

It out he’s my wide receiver 41 against a Chief’s defense that allows the six fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers this year to recap Matthews keep it open close it out rankings Kyler Murray at QB 13 is a fringe but we’ll call it a close here bejan Robinson rb21

Open Austin Eckler rb20 against the bills open Bree Hall against the commanders rb10 open motor single T also stays open against the Browns rb25 Z flowers wide receiver 27 against the ners he’s an open Jobe Myers is a certified close at wide receiver 41 against the Chiefs hey it’s Matthew
