Who’s got some tough calls to make in fantasy week 16 you’re sweating out your lineup decisions we are here to help we’ve got the week 16 tough calls including Tu a tongue of ioa Derek Henry is he G to get back on track after 16 carries for nine yards against the

Texans can James Connor get it done again and what about Chris Godwin I spent this morning watching uh some Chris Godwin tape anyone Dave did you watch it yet haven’t gotten to Godwin but I watched that game live I thought that Dave Canales was in his

Bag when uh he took on the Packers da yeah Dave likes everyone Named Dave you should know that you should not take that with a grain of salt we’re also gonna preview the Thursday night game New Orleans and the Rams hey Jamie hey Heath what’s going on Heath what you drinking

Coffee hot coffee don’t strike me as a coffee guy I’ve never known you to drink coffee I drink two cups of coffee almost every day okay and hey Jamie hat it’s hat Wednesday for Jamie hat Wednesday all right uh news and notes we’ll do this real quick and then we’ll get to

The tough calls Aaron Rogers said probably not going to play this year almost certainly say it’s not 100% so you can give up that dream but he also said that next season will not be his last season so you might get a couple of years maybe more of Aaron Rodgers that’d

Be great CJ strout is likely out this week Gino Smith will play this week at Tennessee Chris olve expected to play on Thursday and Keenan Allen has a Saturday game against Buffalo he missed practice what’s going on what do you guys uh what’s going on what’s new Dave what’s

New what do you feeling fantasy football what have you been working on researching fantasy football wise why I don’t know I’m just thinking of we’re a minute into the show I have nothing to talk about so we could we’re done here then this is great we go right to the

Tough call go back to work I thought maybe there’d be something interesting that you had to bring to the table it’s week 16 Bud everything that I’m doing is is the same as it is the week before um I will tell you that I’ve got I think there are some encouraging signs that

The Falcons offense does throw more and kick into high gear and is a little more aggressive this week against Indie um I think that James Cook is GNA continue to run wild over the Chargers I’ve got some real questions about Austin Eckler uh and I think that the Bengals are gonna

This might be a week where Joe Mixon and Chase Brown both go off against the Steelers kind of an obvious statement based on how Pittsburgh’s run defense has been I have the strangest thing ever going on this weekend I can’t remember a semi-final weekend ever like this I have

Four teams with Patrick Mahomes and five teams that I’m playing against Patrick Mahomes oh man do you guys have faith in Patrick Mahomes this week against the Raiders yes Heath’s gonna go four and five I’ve got I’ve got three teams where Patrick Mahomes is not involved all right Jamie any interesting tid gonna go four and eight um any interesting tidbits uh

You’re working on your start sit the Saints are great against Bad quarterbacks they’re terrible against good ones the rankings for Stafford are pretty different Heath’s kind of kind of low on Stafford 17th Dave and Jamie have him just inside the top 12 they they’ve uh they’ve beat up very easily on Bryce

Young twice Desmond Ritter M Jones Ryan tanah Hill uh Jordan love jarro G um the great Josh THS when he was still good all over 20 fantasy points oh Tommy Deo yeah they beat up on him too yeah they were really really they were really mean to Tommy DeVito too what was more

Mean the the the Saints doing this or the US Women’s Soccer Team doing the ti- sipping that you hated so much the US Women’s Soccer Team doing the Tipping was meaner than okay Saints but the saints were very mean I’m rooting against them forever all right let’s get into our tough

Calls do it talk about by Loa uh just so you know I I added Jared G to the discussion we had one quarterback in the tough call list I’m going to throw Jared go in there too coming off that huge game but on the road to face Minnesota

Uh it’s gonna be really cold in Minnesota no I know it’s inside I’m just kidding anyway uh Tua against the Cowboys let’s start with that Heath this is what you well you gave the whole list so thank you but um you think this is a tough call to a and are you expecting

Tyreek kill at this point we are expecting Tyreek Hill and that is why it’s a tough call if Tua was playing against the Cowboys without Tyreek Hill I don’t think it would be a tough call I think we’d just be sitting to a it’s a tough call for two reasons one I think

It’s three of his last four games at 15 fantasy points or fewer for Tua it’s we know what this team has been against teams with a winning record not very good at all um this is only the fourth one of those they’ve played all season

Long and so that but it’s a tough call because when they are right when things are going right it could be qb1 wide receiver one rb1 all on the same week tough call for you Dave and Jamie Tua slightly um I think you know as he said um this hasn’t exactly been tua’s

Best scenario you know against good defenses but uh I think also Dallas similar to New Orleans their stats have been somewhat padded by what they’ve done against a lot of bad quarterbacks now you can say that in the last two weeks they’ve held Jaylen Herz and Josh Allen to 25 fantasy

Points 26 fantasy points combined um which says something but I think a lot of that though is Josh Allen really deferring to James Cook and the Run game uh the Cowboys when they face good quarterbacks and it hasn’t happened very much especially when they face them on

The road Brock P lit them up Jaylen Herz lit them up and I think Tua will have an opportunity to in what should be a high-scoring game be competitive with this Cowboys defense to the point where he’s above 20 fantasy points he’s been been mostly above 20 fantasy points at

Home this season five of seven games he’s been above that threshold so the fact that it’s in Miami I think this is a a an opportunity here for him to have a good statistical day isn’t this a game with two teams that have struggled to beat good teams yeah but the Cowboys at

Least have that Eagles win they have that Eagles win it was at home it wasn’t on the road they were close to beating them in Philadelphia I mean they are much better at home their defense is much better at home yeah of course it’s how it usually

Is for defenses um I I he called out how Tua has been lately he’s been struggling he hasn’t had a blowout game since week eight he scored almost 28 fantasy points in that game um I think if if you think that Dallas’s offense is going to struggle it’s going to limit two his

Pass attempts now he’s had some games this year where he’s had some monster numbers like the Denver game barely through had a monster game that was against Denver their defense was total trash Dallas’s defense is better than that but I think the Cowboys should be

Able to get after Tua I don’t expect the offensive line to be in any better shape than it was last week I I’m I’m nervous about Tua getting one of those big ceiling games I think Jaimie kind of said it right if you’re expecting right around what his what his average has

Been this season he’s averaging 20.2 fantasy points per game that’s overall so maybe he’s a little bit better than that at home I I’d say somewhere between 20 and 22 fantasy points is where he’s going to end up Landing in part because I think the pass rush will imp him in

Part because I think the the Dolphins are going to try and run it at Dallas just like Buffalo did last week all right you guys have two of you have Baker Mayfield ahead of T of uh Tua and uh D Jamie does not but has Tua just one spot ahead of Mayfield but

Everyone’s got Tua in the top 12 and I’ll just say this I mean he had a9.4 passer rating last week so you might look at and say oh he struggled he actually was terrific against one of the best defenses in football 21 of 24 224 yards at a touchdown if something

Derails Tua it’s oftentimes Raheem moer or Devon Anan or both rushing for two touchdowns yep and let’s see if Jonathan henkins plays in this game that could defensive tackle for the cowboys that could have a big impact on Tua if the Dolphins could run all over the Cowboys

Like the bills did last week did you see uh the clip from McDaniel from Hard Knocks no uh on the jayen W play um he called it before it happened he said if they give us I forget the coverage he said they gave us this coverage this is

Gonna be a big touchdown right here he saw the coverage he goes here it comes he said to Tyreek he goes here it comes and he hits Wild on the play he goes yep it was it was pretty awesome that’s so cool all right let’s talk about Jared

Gof at Minnesota here Minnesota had been a really tough matchup for quarterbacks Browning last week he scored over 20 points was he got the T Higgins touchdown was kind of a miracle but good for him but uh what do you think about golf it’s on the road I’m not wrong

Right it’s Minnesota is he inside is inside yes is off playing this game Outdoors h no it’s inside uh Sunday at one o’clock Detroit at Minnesota but uh yeah I mean I think we were caught a little bit by surprise by the five touchdowns last week is how about gol or

Tua this week Goff I’m starting golf two or slightly for me but I can change it you don’t have to don’t let these guys bully you no no no I mean between um there I think there’s four quarterbacks for me that I’ve like shuffled around 75 times already it’s

Only Wednesday uh but it’s Baker Tua Goff and Stafford in some order I don’t think I get to debate Baker Mayfield with Heath then Heath’s the low guy on Baker Mayfield this week I’m the low guy I think so I thought I had him ahead of two and Jamie didn’t

Yeah but you still else oh that’s true but you’re the low guy on Tua also like so right now Jamie has twoa has Mayfield nine Dave has him seven and you have him 10 okay he should probably have be in this discussion we’ll call him a tough

Call uh you guys all have in the top 10 I just G to say the only thing is they are really the last three games they have something like 10 more runs than passes they’re three and 0 in these three games they’re throwing less than 30 times a game I think Jacksonville’s

Given 26 fantasy points to four of the last six quarterbacks they faced that’s a fact their secondary is beat up their pass rush isn’t getting home it’s Baker’s been playing well and Godwin’s been a huge reason why the last couple of weeks that Adam really takes

Exception with the that the one the few or Baker’s been playing well that’s that’s what really bothers at him he played amazing lastek amaz it’s for the season for the season he’s like the number 16 quarterback per game yeah he’s been fine no I I know I’m just saying

Because Heath and I have been sort of talking about Baker may but I’m just saying before the last two games he was on the waiver wire uh he’s still is in a lot of leagues right so yeah no not a lot well I don’t know what is it’s

Probably about 78% of it’s hard to quantify at this point because of sure but in the most leagues he’s Ro I just picked him up in a in in a league last night I mean the difference between Tua and Baker is 0.5 fantasy points per game they’ve basically been the same yeah

It’s an interesting point to has been slumping a little bit you still have Daniel Jones and Trevor Lawrence what’ you say they’ basically been the same for their careers that’s true right that is factually accurate um Sor are we talking about Jared Goff no I think we’ve already established Jared GF

You guys are starting him but I I don’t think he’s a super easy call Golf he hasn’t been he’s been pretty up and down Dave said his offens of Line’s healthy so ragnok came back last week and he you know that that certainly helped they ended the Broncos nine game streak of

Not allowing a quarterback to go over 20 fantasy points uh his last two on the road both indoor games last two of his last three on the road uh of those indoor games against the Chargers and against the Saints he’s over 20 fantasy points in those games so I think that

Matters too um the elements won’t be a problem and so is it tough yeah the Vikings are still a really good defense and Jake Brown I think you gotta say got lucky with how he got to his 22 fantasy points with what he did in the fourth

Quarter in overtime but um gof I know it’s a different defense he’s got a great history against the Vikings three of his last five over 25 fantasy points so I’m I’m I’m not worried about golf this week all right go we have a question here golf or daak think more

Upser Dak Tua or love Tua Tua Jak Browning Jake Browning or Matt Stafford Stafford Stafford all right all right let’s go to our running back tough calls here and Derk Henry is facing Seattle and James Conor at Chicago with Chicago having one of the best run defenses in

Football and Connor having a really really good season um all right let’s start with Derrick Henry though so before the last two games he was averaging 4.3 yards per carry now he’s averaging 3.8 yards per carry he has been miserable the last two games although he did score two touchdowns at

The Dolphins in week 14 and he had three straight games with 18 or more PPR fantasy points before his dud last week um against the Houston Texas who have one of the best run defenses in football uh Seattle doesn’t and um you know hopefully a competitive game which is always good

For him Heath starter sit derck Henry when you nominated him as a tough call what was tough about it well as you can see here we’ve got one of us ranked him at 24 one of us at 25 the other one at 26 that’s what I what I was kind of

Looking for with guys who were tough calls there guys who are ranked right around that rb24 wide receiver 24 range um what makes him a tough call is how disastrously bad last week was how incredibly great his career and earlier this season was the fact that Seattle’s

Not been a that difficult of a matchup for running backs although what DeAndre Swift scor nine points last week yeah there’s an Asis with that there’s an because Jaylen Herz steals all the touchdowns that’s right well it will Levis stole one from the one yard line from Derrick Henry last week will Levis

Might have a hard time stealing one this week because he’s got a bad ankle he might I I am I I think it really Henry is less about him and more about do you have two guys who we like as top 20 running backs and if so you’re sitting

Them that I agree with I feel like we’ve nailed the game script for Derrick Henry each of the last two weeks two games ago was the Dolphins figured the Dolphins would have a lead Derrick Henry would be weaved out of the game plan barely played in the fourth quarter still had a

Great Fantasy game because he scored two touchdowns last week much more competitive game it went into overtime he had a ton of the carries every single time he got the football it looked like he ran into a brick wall I mean it was really terrible it was painful watching

Derrick Henry do this but I think a lot of it had to do with his offensive line more than him uh definitely doesn’t have like quick burst after the handoff he doesn’t Juke guys anymore he needs a lane to run and the offensive line couldn’t do that last week the question

Is can the offensive line do that this week and on one hand the numbers have been weird for Derrick Henry certainly touchdown dependant because the rushing averag is been so bad the last couple weeks on the other hand Seattle defense coming off an emotional win short week

On the road and Seattle’s allowed a rushing touchdown to a running back uh in each of the prior four games going into last week and the only reason why Swift or gainwell didn’t have a touchdown is because Jaylen Herz was tush pushing him in from one yard out

That’s gonna be Derrick Henry’s job theoretically this week so if he scores he’s going to be okay as a low-end number two RB but I can’t look at him and say all right he’s gonna get 80 yards he’s gonna have a shot at like two touchdowns he’s gonna have a classic Derrick Henry

Game you guys are starting Tai Chandler over him with or without Madison or just without Madison just without Madison just without Madison but I still might in PPR even with Madison and just so everyone knows just looking at the game log Derrick Henry was perfectly fine with Ryan tanah Hill

I mean kind of the same thing up and down I’m not sure if that has an effect I think I’d rather have Levis back there just have more faith in him but um I don’t know if it’s a huge deal what about Eckler uh what about Eckler this

Week uh against the Patriots I’m sorry no Broncos Broncos Buffalo Buffalo what the hell sorry uh Eckler against Buffalo or uh Henry I have Eckler I have no faith in Eckler right now I have Eckler hire and PPR and Henry hire and nonan all right all right me that’s a

Tough tough call like what do you do with him the Eckler yeah it’s a tough call yeah he was rotating with the other two guys before the game was a blowout and you’re talking about a Bill’s defense that looks fantastic right now and what they just did to Tony Pard in

That Cowboys offense I don’t know what to expect from eckar especially if it you know no keen and Allen like how much is is this game gonna be competitive he doesn’t play not competitive right and so like this feels like a just a complete set no although teams do get the Boost from

The the firing the coach right like I I feel but I feel like that boost will happen more on defense for the Chargers and it’ll probably fall apart by the third quarter uh would you start James Connor he was another guy in the tough call is James Connor or Derk henre this week

Conor for me Conor doesn’t seem like a tough call based on well I guess I shouldn’t say that what’s tough about this one Chicago’s defense is really good yeah Arizon offense is not that good Connor’s involvement in the passing game has been extremely Hit or Miss Conor’s been the only good thing

For this offense though Trey McBride’s been Trey McBride yeah Fair sorry yeah look Conor had a huge game last week so to deari D Marcado they both had a carry of over 40 yards they they faced the 49ers defense that was missing two starters on the defensive line so I will

Say that I’m not trying take away not trying to take away from Conor just you probably said oh he killed a tough matchup last week I don’t think was really a tough matchup given the Personnel of the 49ers last week but the Bears are are killing it against the Run

They are it’s a matter of whether or not their interior defensive linemen are going to be able to hold up against Arizona’s line and I actually thought Arizona’s line like they look strong maybe it was just because of the matchup but it’s it’s two straight games now where they’ve looked good and they’ve

Gotten some push and now James Conor has some some yardage maybe one or two yards just to get going on his run and uh I I I thought he was excellent and for the last two weeks we’ve or last two games we’ve told people ah tough matchup James Conor doesn’t catch the

Ball totally inconsistent you should sit him and he’s been amazing so I’m I’m kind of off of totally telling people to sit James Conor of course there’s risk if he doesn’t score he’s probably gonna get you know better than like 11 PPR points but I think that there’s a chance

That he scores I think the Cardinal the Bears have a way of not blowing teams out so even though I think Chicago wins the game I think Arizona can hang around a little bit and I think James Conor deserves the benefit of the doubt I like

Him as a number two running back th this is incredible in his last four games he has nine catches for nine yards one yard per catch in the last month H he doesn’t play on third down really except for that one game where de Marcado was out but this is I mean

Here’s why Connor is a tough call here are his fantasy points in PPR in five games with Kyler Murray 7.3 eight .3 7.2 22.5 17.9 not much between there um all right well that’s that’s kind of what makes a tough call is you’ve got to have a lot

Of upside and a very low floor yeah yeah let’s take a break here and we’ll talk about t Higgins and Chris Godwin and some tight ends when we come back on fantasy football today the scudetto where the soul of Italy meets the pinle of Celo Pat Sia on CBS Sports Network and streaming live on Paramount Plus all right welcome back everybody thanks for joining us we’re gonna have our episode on Sunday night our recap episode at about 9:30 pm Eastern if you want to watch it live so it’ll be out a little bit later on Sunday night than TP than it typically is or you’ll still

CBS Sports app T Higgins well let’s see why is he a tough call we are not expecting Jamar chase this week he’s playing Saturday at Pittsburgh and he’s got five games this year with eight or more targets and in those five games he has zero 89 21 110 and 61 yards

He has three huge games with 19 or more PPR fantasy points and two games with four or fewer fantasy points so he’s kind of like James Conor um he was maybe a little bit Lucky in that game uh last week but uh anyway yeah t Higgins Jamie is is he a

Tough call for you I mean yes in the sense of what he’s done this season you know comparatively to what he hopefully will do um I know we’ve seen Pittsburgh’s defense know you mentioned about Joey Porter Jr and some of the matchups that he’s had and you know doing well against number one

Receivers but he should be fed targets you know and that’s the the promising thing for him this week is without Jamar chase you saw you know a little bit of a breakthrough last week and again it was some big somewhat fluky plays with the touchdowns he bounced back after

Dropping a touchdown as well so I’m just going to trust him this week as a number two receiver with the hope that this is a guy Jake brownie leans on Dave mentioned something earlier which could be a problem is that the Steelers offense is just not played very well and

If Joe Mixon and and potentially Chase Brown get going in this game that we may not see Jake Browning have to throw very much so that could be a little bit of a problem here in terms of what the high volume is because they had to throw last

Week because of how the the the game was unfolding against Minnesota I just think that Higgins without Chase is somebody that I want to buy into and so I will start him this week as a mid-tier number two wide receiver yeah that’s the range um couple things about the possible game

Script of this game that might actually help Pittsburgh Bengals defense was already kind of a mess coming into last week’s game they lost DJ reer at defensive tackle it is a huge problem figuratively and literally for them I know the Steelers haven’t had success running the ball this year I think they

Might be able to have a little bit more success than normal for them so maybe like 3.8 yards per carry instead of 3.0 yards per carry for Nagi Harris something like that against Cincinnati and Mason Rudolph isn’t a great quarterback obviously he was third string for a reason for Pittsburgh but

He can throw a pretty accurate deep ball uh he can read defenses pretty simply I I think that he’s his biggest detriment is that he’s slow with his throwing motion and so if he’s a little slow that could turn into interceptions that would obviously help Cincinnati but I think

There’s room there for the Steelers to keep this game relatively competitive you throw on top of that that the Steelers defense is in just terrible shape right now cam hayward’s in the concussion protocol both starting safeties one of them suspended for the year the other one Minka Fitzpatrick out

For this game if not longer the inside linebackers have been a massive problem for them they say they’re going to change up some personnel there in Pittsburgh I don’t know if it really matters so there’s going to be opportunities for the Bengals to almost do whatever they want in this game and

Jake Browning does deserve the benefit of the doubt for making good decisions with the football most of the time and I really felt like he started to spread his wings a little bit more last week yeah throw on top of that there’s no Jamar Chase and I think it’s easy to see

That t Higgins will be the target leader for Cincinnati I think he’s a middle to low-end wide receiver too I do struggle with him versus the likes of Jaylen Wadd Drake London uh Godwin the way that Godwin’s been rolling especially in full PPR Amari Cooper that’s the range that

He’s in now and I think it’s possible that he could end up being better than those guys yeah I think I’m the low guy on him and it’s just it’s not just the Jake Browning thing but it is a lot the Jake Browning thing I mean we’ve saw a couple

Of games with Chase where we thought he should be fed targets and he wasn’t really um and Higgins has had a couple of games this season where he was fed targets and he scored four or fewer fantasy points he’s had some real real stinkers based on his own level of play

And I just have a hard time believing that the Steelers at home cold ugly game are going to give up a bunch and I think Porter will probably shut Higgins down unless Higgins makes one big play Porter is a factor here I mean they’ve given up one

Touchdown to a wide receiver in their last five games I believe the Steelers that was last week to DJ Montgomery um had two in the game by the way I mean pman would have crushed them though he was on his oh yeah yeah well if he would have scored but not

Montgomery probably uh Pitman had 78 yards on like 33% of the snaps I’m not saying their defense is good but Porter is good so he he’s a factor here um would you start puka AA against the Saints or okay that was easy all right so so Dave mentioned Chris Godwin being in

There Godwin’s basically had two good games this year uh one of them was last week 25.5 PPR fantasy points um you know interesting game he he was terrific he really was I think you heard uh Jacob on beyond the box score kind of throw a

Little cold water on it it was just his opinion was kind of blame it more on Green Bay than giving Godwin credit I the other way that’s fair no I I I think watching it this morning the first half was like Green Bay was just not covering

Him he was wide open underneath all the time they made the adjustment and he started making plays downfield especially late in the second in the first uh half Chris Godwin had four catches of more than 20 yards in this game so he looked like Chris Godwin he

Ran a route in the middle of the field that was just disgusting embarrassed one of the linebackers um I you know he was I thought he was great but that doesn’t mean anything going forward you know we’ve just seen too much of bad Chris Godwin so well you have you have a

Player that’s finally getting involved he’s got 23 Targets in his last two games which has been a problem you know there was a lot of talk in Tampa Bay of why are they not using him more and you have a quarterback who’s playing well you have a great match up like you know

There’s three things that all sort of fall in line here that makes it I don’t want to say easy to start Chris Godwin but you should feel comfortable doing it if he’s been on your roster and you haven’t been using him so is he gonna have a huge game again that’s hard to

Say because Mike Evans has been a disappointing part of this for the last two weeks too and I’m sure they want to keep him involved so there might be a little bit more Balan here but if you tell me he’s getting another game with you know double digit targets I’m

Starting him no hesitation especially oh that’s yeah but right but like I’ve been saying Baker Mayfield’s not is throwing 288 29 30 passes five of his last six games they’re winning he’s probably going to be bethard we think they’re running the ball a lot he’s had his

Target per route run rate the last two weeks Chris dowin is is 40% so it’s an unsustained like double- digit Targets on 30 targets is probably not going to happen on 30 passes is probably not going to happen I’m not saying Mayfield is is has no chance of throwing more

Than 30 it’s just that’s just how they’ve been running their offense lately very run heavy better defense three wins in a row so you know what does Godwin do if he gets seven or eight targets that’s been pretty bad this year that’s sure and and the touchdowns have escaped him so that’s a

Problem yeah now the endzone targets haven’t been there for for whatever reason they were earlier in the year I don’t know Heath your thoughts on Godwin I think everybody’s prettyy much said it he fits in very well with the guys who have shown us extremely low lows but in

Godwin’s case and I’m a little bit higher than this now I think I’ve got him 27 so I’m I’m a little lower on the group has shown us extremely low lows but he’s given us reason to Hope I would like him a lot more if Trevor Lawrence

Could get out of the concussion protocol sure um I think that would make him an easier start and probably enough to push him ahead of T Higgins for me how about in the same game Calvin Ridley who we were going to talk about but we’re running a little long so

Calvin Ridley or Chris Godwin I have Godwin higher yeah same I’ve got just ahead of him you’ve got to worry about Ridley if he’s catching passes from CJ Beth this is another guy where if Lawrence plays I think you make the move to Ridley the matchup is so

Delicious for them but if it’s Beth uh I I would be nervous to start Ridley I think I would love Ridley if Lawrence were playing I think I would too he’ll have uh three End Zone opportunities and he won’t score a touchdown no he will catch

On the line on one of them ball on the next one he’ll catch it but there’ll be a holding penalty on the third one that brings it back imagine if that touchdown had had counted and Lawrence scores like 23 points against the Ravens and that would have been four straight good games

For Lawrence maybe five I think four including two against the Browns of the Ravens and then going into this matchup at Tampa Bay imagine how excited you would be about Trevor Lawrence I I would say there would not be a graphic on Twitter comparing him to Daniel Jones had that happened

Right did you do that I didn’t even see this I mean I know you okay um it sounds very much like something I would do it wasn’t all La we got two tight ends to talk about here but what do you think about Brandon auk against the Ravens who

Are you know they’re 11th best against wide receivers but I think we all consider them to be a pretty tough match him they were great against Jacksonville last week auk has been good but rarely great lately he has one game in his last seven with more than 16.6 16.6 is good

He just hasn’t had like a lot of blowup weeks lately which wasn’t the case early in the year he was he was like incredible now he’s just been sort of merely good um and I have another stat I can throw out there but I’ll let you

Guys talk uh Jamie what do you think about auk this week is he a tough call I I put this one I sort of editorialized on this one does anyone think he’s a tough call no I mean no you have you have arguably the MVP of the NFL the way Brock p is

Playing right now and you want pieces of this offense and it really doesn’t matter I think who they’re playing at this point so you know he’s he’s found the end zone I don’t want to say frequently but enough that you say okay he’s got that potential uh I don’t think

This Ravens defense like you said is something that you run away from and I didn’t say that well I mean that’s fine if feel that way I just I didn’t say that but I’m sorry uh I I I don’t think this is a defense that you you worry

About I think about that Rams offense against the Ravens in the rain two weeks ago and how the receivers had big games there and how I know that Trump the game of the week yeah the Ravens yeah the diners it’s a Christmas game of the week he’s not a tough call

Hey it was just a setup folks for the Christmas game of the week now I mean I wondering what that was about that that makes more sense now yeah yeah Wednesday well I gotta mix it up like obviously this is gonna be the game of the week so

I Dave I had to mix it up and surprised Dave a little bit you’re saving the bit it’s good very good job hey how about this what if we put it in context what do you do if you’ve got one spot and you’ve got Rashi rice and Brandon auk rice still an easy

Call cooking up rice I’m cooking up rice yeah Jamie did you say something yeah rice oh rice okay uh yeah no the stat I was gonna give was that every wide receiver that’s had a big game like more than 15 and a half points I think against the Ravens has had double digit

Targets that has happened one time this year for auk one time this year for Debo Samuel so I think you pretty much throw all that stuff out with the Niners they’re just more efficient by far than any other team but typically if you’re going to have like a a weak winning game

Against the Ravens you need double digit targets uh all right tight ends real quick here guys Darren Waller and Dallas Goddard facing each other how much do you trust them Heath Cummings they are both lowend starters I prefer Waller um his Target per route run and yards per route run numbers last

Week were both very good he just only played 42% of the snaps I would assume that he’s going to play be more involved this week and it’s a it’s a I mean it’s whether it’s a good matchup for tight ends it’s a pretty good matchup for p catchers against the Eagles um man

Goddard goddard’s the one that’s harder to trust for me just because of his lack of involvement and really lack of production this year what does he have two good games yep yeah yeah it’s easy to be out on Gard especially since this is another matchup where I think the Eagles can run

And so maybe take a little bit more pressure off of Jaylen Herz I I definitely like Waller better I think they’ll be more opportunities more volume he was second on the team in targets with six he only ran 22 routes that makes for a nice Target per route

Run rate that makes for a very fun thing to say on the show I wish he had looked better but it was his first game back maybe he can be a little bit more explosive in his running uh this week so I’m happy to take a chance on him as a

Low-end tight end one little worried a little worried about Kevin Bard covering him this is what they did with Kelce when they played the Chiefs they put byard on him um they could really put anyone on Waller they could put Darius Slay on Waller if Darius Slay plays in this game so yeah

Uh all right those are tough calls I was how about this I’m not sure if I feel this way but just going into the week in my gut I like DeAndre Swift more than saquon Barkley anyone else no it’s not a bad call but no you can’t do it because he never scores

That’s the problem that’s that’s holds him backs don’t count sure I can start one also a bosson Scott week it it is a Boston Scott week yes all right let’s take uh one more break when we come back I’ve got Christmas theme fill in the blank New Orleans at the Rams the

I call my wife will make yeah okay that’s fancy yeah yeah she she loves it yeah it’s great stuff big she homemade Holland sauce on those I think so yeah I think she does everything yeah from scratch I’m I’m looking forward to it can’t wait New Orleans New Orleans at

The Rams on Thursday night n here’s a trend to watch in the last three games the Saints very run like the Bucks 29 26 and 28 pass attempts in their last three games for the New Orleans Saints they’re two- one in those games the Rams have seen 36 or more pass

Attempts in five straight games can we get some pass volume please Derek Carr all right here’s your updated stat of the game remember I gave this one out last week and I was like is this right is this right and it was right and it turned out to be very right because

Barkley was terrible only three running backs have scored nope only two two running backs have scored more than 14.4 PPR fantasy points Point against the New Orleans Saints is K Williams going to be the third we have any concerns about k no zero all right Kiren I mean one of the

Most amazing things about him is he’s had tough matchups so much this year and he’s come through so good for him I think the only concern would be is are they gonna punish him for the fumbles oh yeah when’s that gonna happen two fumbles last week kept playing first

Two of the Season SE McVey gave him the vote of confidence this week uh he’s he’s not going anywhere he might have to Fumble three times unless he fumbles again Chris is expected to play so how would you rank the three main wide receivers in this game Cooper

Puka I’ve got Cooper cup puka nakua Chris olave yeah okay cup nuaa cup ove n you said right CA L I’m the only one has the LA look I’m open to the idea of olve over nula and I agree with you about the whole pass attempts thing no one has

Seen more pass attempts against over the last six weeks in the Rams it’s actually it’s CRA 41.6 pass attempts of the game the only team this is amazing the only team that hasn’t thrown 40 plus times in the last six weeks against La is Washington and they’re the team that we

Always expect to just throw like crazy second week in a row or second game in a row for Washington rather where they didn’t do that uh it’s because the Rams run defense is really good and their pass defense is not so if aave is right then I could imagine he could end up

Having a pretty big game do we have any puka concerns it’s a little bit of a bad taste in your mouth right like five for 50 against the uh commanders he has seven to nine Targets in seven straight games there have been 10 wide receivers with seven to nine

Targets against the Saints only four of them scored more than 11 PPR fantasy points only one of them scored more than 14.2 PPR are fantasy points the Saints by the way they give up the third fewest fantasy points to wide receivers I think I may have mentioned that earlier so

Jamie you did say there are some concerns uh with puka yeah I mean not to sit him but I I think when you you know you mentioned rashy rice uh I would start a over him uh you can certainly make a case that if Zach Wilson plays Garrett Wilson’s better than him they’re

They’re basically similar type of players touchdowns tend to be a little bit of a problem they’re more PPR Reliant than they are non-ppr so since Cooper cups Revival we haven’t really seen huge games from puka it’s true yeah you have him 21st and Dav and Heath have

Him 12 so it’s a pretty big difference there I think ol’s got to go ahead of him just based on upside easier in non and half PPR than full PPR but the more I think about it I I really believe that volume is going to be huge here and that

Derek Carr is gonna have to throw a lot and we’ve seen it so many times this year when he throws a lot cars over 300 yards and so if he’s over 300 yards you’ve got to figure a is gonna have plenty of catches plenty of yards maybe

He scores on top of it I think that Ave is a better bet than NOA would you start pukan aura or Devonte Smith against the Giants Smith Smith I think I have niua H there too not sure if I’m gonna stick with it all right I’m trying to find some questions

In the chat because there’s a lot of starts in this game you’re starting Kiren you’re starting chimra it’ll be interesting to see because the Rams the Rams are tough they give up the fewest receiving yards per game to running backs but you’re starting chimra I have

Uh where I was the two seed coming off a bu uh Kamara Kiren puka alve I may be in trouble or really Happ oh my God I hate that I do too I hate that for you I’m so sorry at Fantasy I haven’t changed it I have uh groupy as my Kickers that’s

Definitely CH oh wow yeah this I might PIV pivot to have SE because I like him a lot like another one yeah so it’s I mean it’s interesting these teams Thursday night it’s we don’t love Thursday night necessarily but uh you just there are too many must starts in

This game so that brings up Stafford car is a Sit even coming off that game he’s like I don’t even think he’s in the top 18 I don’t think he’s a Sit necessarily but you’re not going to trust him but again you’re looking at very good matchup and as Dave said volume should

Be there he’s got five touchdowns in his last two games he’s coming off his best statistical game from a fantasy perspective when you don’t have potentially Trevor Lawrence or CJ stad and you can’t get your hands on let’s say baker Mayfield or um or Joe Flo like

I don’t see tremendous difference I like Mullins better but like Nick Mullins Jake Browning this week without Chase um Carr I think they’re all very muu you know especially Pitman plays I think they’re all very similar and so it’s not a bad matchup to say I’m I’m shying away

From car sure but on the flip side we’ve seen a lot of games this year where Carr does throw a lot gets a lot of yards doesn’t get the second touchdown does have some turnovers and I also don’t like that it’s a short week on the road

Late in the season and do we know about Ryan Ram is he playing their right tackle I don’t I didn’t see that I didn’t see I’d be a little look I don’t think the Rams pass rush is dominant and obviously their pass defense hasn’t been

Good but if if the offensive line is an issue for Derek Carr I uh I I would worry about his upside there a top 12 quarterback I don’t think there but someone that like I think you can feel encouraged in a superflex to start him and if you’re really desperate and he’s

Out there uh you don’t want to take your chances on Browning or or muu or Gino yes Carr isn’t that far off from those guys uh yeah I can’t help but notice Carr with the five touchdowns in his last two games it’s coincided with tames Hill being inactive for one of them and

Being completely uninvolved in another of them and I think he had two short yardage touchdown passes in those games he did they flip a coin I don’t know I mean Tamm hill we were going to talk about him in tough calls Dave but yeah I said we’ll just save it for when we

Preview the game yeah I mean we know I mean Heath is another right Heath TM Hill you say tough calls are guys with high high ceilings and high floors or low floors doesn’t get much lower than uh than that for tesm Hill so you talked about gard and Waller for example as

Tough calls a tight end what about tesm Hill I would start tesm over those guys in non PPR I would those guys over taste them in full PPR but I it’s is like one of those situations on Sunday night where Dave said that he’d like to get a

Hold of the Bears and just get their game plan beforehand because their tesm Hill usage is about as predictable as the Bears running back usage who knows when it’s going to we gotta beat on the Bears running back usage you got a beat on it yeah you they gave you the game

Plan no I watched the game I figured it out but what about the game before that it was the exact same thing for the was it I mean it was for was got is this Forman it’s for just I know we’re supposed to be talking about t Hill

Forman and Herbert rotate series and then on third down it’s Roshan Johnson the only difference last week was they used Roshan Mo in the fourth quarter all right what about seriously Heath what about half PPR GD wall or TM ah I would probably just go Waller and Gard all let’s talk about Matthew

Stafford I’m actually gonna give Heath the first word because he is the low guy on staff he he’s like 13 for me now oh okay okay yeah all right good so that means we can have confidence starting Matthew Stafford but not ahead of two oh no that’s not true

Jamie has Stafford head of Tua Jamie what do you like about Stafford this week you have him ninth I mean four straight games of you know standout production uh he’s playing very well Cooper cup is back to being Cooper cup and so you know when he has two

Receivers like this you know you go back to Cup and woods and you know even cup and Beckham when when Beckham was was playing well and Brandon Cooks was part of that um I know maybe Cooks was with gof uh but in any event um I I just

Think Stafford’s clicking right now sha McVey you know Dave mentioned it in terms of who’s been uh nice uh he’s he’s arguably coach of the year you know with what he’s done with his team and and how they’re in playoff contention and um I I I said it earlier in the show that

They’ve been the the Saints have been really good against crappy quarterbacks and somewhat bad against good quarterback backs and Stafford’s playing as well as anybody in the league right now so uh I don’t have any hesitation with him you know 10th might be a little too low it it’s so funny because early

In the year he was averaging like 320 passing the first four games of the Season he was averaging like 320 passing yards per game the yards per attempt over eight yards per attempt in three out of four games and he had three touchdowns in those first four games

Fantasy production was just awful the the last but but the yardage and the yards per attempt were awesome like he was at 310 passing yards per game the last four weeks he doesn’t have a game over 300 yards he’s averaging like 260 yards per game the yards per attempt is

Mostly like seven and a half yards or worse but he throws three or four touchdowns every week so the fantasy production’s awesome yeah well here’s been the formula two two questions one is Cooper cup playing check is Matthew Stafford going to throw even 33 three passes if

That’s a yes he has a big game if he’s under 30 he does not he had they had a stretch where they were just running the ball like crazy and he was not throwing enough and cup was probably playing through something but lately like throw the ball and if Cooper Cup’s playing he

Has been a stud and he’s done it against Baltimore and he’s done it against Cleveland so all right let’s go Matthew Stafford finish finish strong let me see if I have any questions here from the chat puka Godwin or Keenan Allen and you’re going to have to make that

Decision on Thursday Puka Puka Puka AA puka Ridley Addison Gus well I guess we’re gonna go with puka there yep um do you know what puka means puka is a nickname oh yeah what does it mean it means fat and chubby fat to the broadcast uh camra mostart Kiren

Williams Gibbs and Pard pick three the first three yep yeah I might I might look at Gibbs over chimra just based on the matchup okay okay that’s uh that’s it Dave that’s it for Thursday Night Football you’re singing The Wrong music what you should be singing is hold on

Singing the fantasy cops music let’s settle some League disputes all right this first one comes from Jeff in our league we allow depth charts here’s the exact wording in the rules each manager has the option to submit a depth chart each week you can indicate which backup player you would

Like to start in case your starter is a last minute inactive this only covers players who do not play at all example if your player gets injured on the first play but was active for the game it does not qualify this week one manager named Mike listed Aiden o Connell as his

Backup quarterback on the depth chart in the league chat with Gino Smith as the starter Flash Forward to Monday night he would win his matchup if he gets Aiden o connell’s points but lose it if he gets the Zero from Gino what would you do in this situation and again I’m going to

Read the wording each manager has the option to submit a depth chart each week you can indicate which backup player you would like to start in case your starter is a last minute inactive then it goes on though this only covers players who do not play at all example if your

Player gets injured on the first play but was active for the game it does not qualify so Gino was active but he did not play at all what say you fantasy cops should he get the the Aiden oconnell points or the Gino points no points agreed I yep I’m gonna

Go I think it’s Deb and I would be really mad if I was facing him and lost because of this and I’d be really mad if I was him and I didn’t get the Adon points and you probably need to add a little one more sentence in your uh rule

Here but I would also agree to the aid noon points I can’t believe that it says inactive in the rules It also says does not play a snap right this only covers players who do not play at all right very inactive on Monday night he that I

Disagree wow schaer I would like I’d love to know what you think does he get the oconnell points or the Gino points okon points oh fine I disagree with you guys wholeheartedly Shino was active like what you know all what about the bean oh no I mean bejan played all

Right fine fine fine well is there another scenario you could think of where this applies where somebody did not play I mean not this season but remember when Marshon Lynch was active and then his back Act did up he was at Cleveland and then he didn’t play a snap against the

Browns that was like I mean I think you I think you run that risk with injured players right like you run that risk of I’m starting this guy I don’t know if he’s gonna play oh he was active but they never actually intended to play him

Yeah but I mean that’s just look it it obviously the wording you know if if you’re gonna you know put this in in a court the wording would not favor the the ad no Connell side because but I mean come on he did not play it was clearly that he was he was

An inactive active player who’s to say that he would not have played if Drew lock had struggled but he didn’t but he was active so he could have I don’t know I think you guys are wrong did not play a snap I’m gonna I’m having Internal Affairs investigate you but it’s

Fine the rules lay it out yeah you’re right they say if the guy is inactive then you can substitute for him so the rule is Gino Smith was active and you can’t you guys read the next sentence do not play at all the next sentence is superseded by the inactive

Sentence all right Works structure with I think so I think it’s I think that’s the rule the rule is inactive they should they should really remove that second sentence it made things more complicated anyway yeah they didn’t the second one is from Dave hi I’m in a 12 team league with fishing

Guys in Veil and last week or he actually says fishing guys sides in Veil and last week I the six Place team smoked the third place team my team looks stellar and I’m slated to play the two seed this week the two seed said that because I’m the lowest seed I

Should be playing the one seed and I agree I think that’s how it’s supposed to work however Yahoo arranged the playoffs this way and I didn’t change anything I looked in he’s the commissioner I looked into the commissioner tools and there is a statement on playoff receding that reads

If your league uses a 3-we playoff setting playoff re receding will adjust the second round matchups so the highest seated team will play the lowest ranked team playoff receding will occur when there is an upset in the first round of the playoffs I thought this was my

Answer but I have that option turned to off o the player in the second place doesn’t want to play me because I’m on a freaking role and is accusing me of switching up the playoffs and cheating and I’m super pissed I discussed this with the person in first place who said

I don’t care who I play I’m going to win so I can switch the final four but I guess my question is should I change how Yahoo seated our playoff bracket to appease a pissy player who thinks he has a better shot of making the finals by

Playing someone else even if the other three people don’t care who they play or should I trust the system that Yahoo seated a specific way for a reason and let him and no one else think I’m a cheater what do you guys think he should do here so he could still reced the

Playoffs himself manually yeah he’s the commissioner so he could do it that’s what he intended to do all along yeah if in case you missed it in that whole it like he it seemed like he intended to do that but he didn’t do it he didn’t turn

That setting on but now he doesn’t want to give into this whiny two seed basically i’ I’d kick the two seed out of the league take a buy and go to the championship game one person actually wrote back and said please don’t let Heath kick these guys out of the league to this

Email oh man um all right so what what would you guys do it would be great if you read this on Friday cuz Dan would have some scenario with this happen to him in the league My League it works really great [Laughter] okay all right sorry so Jamie says Reed

Heath you said kick someone out of the league and recede yes and Dave I think receding is the option I think you guys are so wrong about the first one but he also Dave also says the emailer Dave says come fish with me this summer bring

The fam I don’t know I don’t know that there are I I don’t like maybe I do fly fishing before skydiving but I just can’t imagine myself ever fly fishing that is you would definitely be uh Ben Stiller and something about Mary if somebody’s fishing around 100% I will wear a face

Mask let’s finish with some emails of okay the hook will get stuck in your hair and then Dan Dan would say I’m such a better Fisher than you oh oh 100% yeah I can I can do fly fishing I can put worm I can put the worm on the hook I

Can do any type of bait all right from uh from Matthew here H which by the way do you guys fish no I eat fish we used to take a fishing trip to Minnesota every year when I was a kid I fished a lot as a kid

A little as an adult but like twice in the last eight years my son the oldest son still does does he C does he catch things and eat them um I don’t believe he eats them no I think he just throws them back okay all right from Matthew which three

Running backs do you like best in a dynasty League PPR etn James Cook Brian Robinson ra Andre Stevenson well we got two two are easy uh I would take ra Andre over Brian Robinson I think I would too yeah two of those guys are in my top eight nine in my updated dynasty

Rankings um ra Andre is just ahead of Brian Robinson at 27 and 29 Adam would ask his kids to bait the hook for him because it’s too icky I would never ever ever use live bait ever I is way too icky you’re absolutely right there’s no

Chance I would put cheese on there I think I used to fish with cheese or something as the bait uh who do you like better etn or cooking Dynasty by the way ET yeah I think that’s the answer Yep this one is from Maxwell Booth I that’s

A great name Great Name That should be a team name wondering if I should start Joe Flaco or Gino Smith four-point per passing touchdown Flo Joe did we rank Gino yet yeah yes okay I need well I don’t know if you did I didn’t I need to do that throw them in

There yeah I’d probably go youin know all right Josh is between Mahomes and Baker Mayfield and the Chiefs crazy in the fantasy semis uh the Chiefs the Bears and the Seahawks DST uh bears bears and Mahomes bears and momes all right from Tanner B do you

Think every year the NFL will be cursed to have more bad offensive lines than good offensive lines been that way for like a decade B I think it’s I wonder if it’s been that way longer than we even realize oh forever yeah especially now just the way the

College game is they don’t develop linemen at the same rate that they used well they don’t get to practice as much either like they don’t they don’t get as much contact practice in we can we’ll make a rule that defensive players have to go crawl in all fours to the

Quarterback and then offensive line play will get better and from JT start two in PPR Swift Ridley JT Jonathan Taylor and N joku Swift Ridley Jonathan Taylor njoku start two all in on the last two assuming Taylor plays uh I’ll go Taylor and Ridley uh wow

Nooku I think I’m gonna I’m think I’m with Dave I think I’m going with uh basically it’s Ridley or njoku for you guys and Jamie said Ridley and I’ll amend that if Trevor Lawrence please okay that makes it closer but I’m like I told you on Sunday I’m done

Second guessing to joku he’s locked in Sid from Milwaukee says Dear Marino schne Bill zarion and DeVito Dan who are who’s Dan Bilzerian look him up I I am he is someone on Instagram was a poker player oh he’s more than just a poker player he’s a jungle man is he okay just

Like me St two in PPR puka Aaron Jones Devonte Smith two receivers yeah for sure although I think Jones has a big game this week Jones at Carolina that’s really tempting to sit him if if Dylan doesn’t play I mean even bejon was good against Carol oh no he wasn’t he was

J all right that a great show thank you guys we’ll talk to you tomorrow start or sit for the AFC home games all right have a great day cousin’s wife thinks that the Vikings make the Super Bowl he can play oh that’s fun all right something to something to dream of later everybody
