(00:00):
Wealthor remember at the beginning of theyear when you were dealing with injuries left
and right. Yes, I meanit almost cost you your season. Luckily
you rebounded. Well, I guessthe luck is now on me as my
season is pretty much over due toinjuries. It's time to review your fantasy
(00:21):
team. Here now, commissioners,time for fantasy freaking football. Yeah,
you know, fantasy is, man, it is a bitter pill sometimes,
you know, sometimes it all justdepends on who you play every week.
Like this past week, I hadI tick on Tyreek Hill in two out
(00:45):
of my three leagues I had.I was playing against Cuba Hubbard, and
you know, you see that atthe beginning of the week, you're like
there you go. No, thatguy goes off with the game of his
life, you know, stuff likethat, and they will just crush you
and you're like, what the heck. Yeah, it's just you know,
that's when the cards are just notin your favor. That's what happened to
me too. And then the gamesthis past week, it's just I just
(01:06):
it's just I started the wrong guy. That's always the worst feeling brutal uh
well, and then the other thingthat will get you his injuries, and
you know you were dealing with this. I mean it was crazy the amount
of injuries that you were dealing withat the beginning every week. And now
it's it's on me where I mean, I'm getting these injuries at the worst
possible time, where I'm fighting formy playoff life in two out of my
(01:29):
three leagues, you know where I'mjust it's brutal. And I mean the
amount of injuries that I have.So I lost Mark Andrews for the year
that that really hurts, you know, because he's one of three good tight
ends. I lost Joe Burrow,you know, so that kills me.
And then I lost Dallas Goddard,who was my backup before Mark Andrews.
So now I'm scraping, you know, the bottom of the barrels the world.
(01:49):
Yes, exactly. Uh. Andthen uh, you know we heard
a couple of weeks ago, Ilost Jonathan Taylor, so did you Uh?
And then but then the last coupleof weeks have been awful because I
I went with the strategy of draftinga couple of guys in all of my
leagues. I don't know why Idecided to always a risk. It really
was at first, your thought is, well, then I won't have the
(02:12):
thing where I'm playing against him ever, and I because I hate that.
But then on the other hand,when I get hurt, then you're completely
screwed. So Kenneth Walker going downwas brutal for me. I have been
all three of my leagues, andI'm like, well that it can't get
worse than that. I'll just waitbecause again, in all three of my
leagues, and I only had himin two, but then I made a
trade for him for some reason,and so I have him in all three.
(02:34):
I have Roman J. Stevens,who went down with this high ankles
brain. You know, we leftfor a running back and Patrick has nothing
to play for, so losing himagain, I don't know what I'm going
to do. I mean literally,it's kind of winning them in in our
one league that we're in together,me and you both are kind of fighting
with the couple of spots. Yeah, and all three of my leagues.
(02:57):
If I win, I'm in.But in this leaguehere, Eddie and I
are in. If I win,we're and you win, we're both We're
both in. But I don't knowif I'm going to do either. I
don't have nobody, and then inour work league, I'm right now currently
sitting in last place, which iscrazy, which is crazy because I'm the
defending champion, but I mean,there's nothing I can do. I mean,
it has been one of those yearswhere every move I've made, it
hasn't really worked out. And speakingof it's part of it is my fault
(03:22):
because I fully admit I am stubborn, and you've heard me talk about it
on this podcast before. You haveto go with your guys. That's my
big advice always is that if Idraft a guy first second round, I
don't care how he's performing, I'mgonna leave him in there because I think
eventually at some point he's going toturn it around. And that's been my
philosophy and it's done me pretty wellin my fantasy career over the years.
(03:45):
This year it's not paying off becauseI drafted in two out of my three
leagues in the first round Patrick Mahomes, and he is I mean, you
want to talk, listen, He'sstill a great quarterback. Obviously they're still
winning the night. If I gowith the number one quarterback too in the
first round, you he's got toplay it at which is what he used
to do, which is what hewas doing in the same vein their offense
(04:06):
just stinks. They have nobody elsethan Travis kel and he's not having a
great season right now. All yougotta do is double team him and then
exactly so it worked out for themlast year, but not this year.
This working out. He was playingat an other worldly level last year.
It's hard to do that year inyear out. So you know the thing
that is terrible, and you're gonnabe probably upset by me by saying this.
(04:29):
You know who my backup is.I have a backup quarterback and I
don't play him, Dak Prescott.Why haven't you been playing? I have
Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, but Prescott'sthe best quarterback in the league right now.
I can't he saved. I waszero and five. I lost Anthony
Richardson. Best thing ever happened tome. I randomly picked up Dak Preskty's
after like thirty five points a game. Dude, I know, because every
week I go, well, thisis the week. I can't sit Patrick
(04:51):
Mahomes because he's gonna go off.He's gonna throw fifteen killed every week.
It kills I get screwed, andso part of it it is my fault.
So now at this point, Igo, do I play DAK this
week against Philly or do I putin Holmest Who's about to go? They're
playing in Dallas. I think Phillyis going for and rapt for another beat
(05:14):
down. I just have a feeling. I think the wheels are about to
come off. I think the fakesten and one. Ever, I don't
know they do. They always playDallas tough and their division tough. Hou
is a different team in Dallas forsome reason. I'm trying to talk myself
out. I don't know what theheck to do. So, yeah,
it's been it's been rough. I'mmean, yeah, I've been sitting DAK
for Patrick Mahomes. You how manygames you could have won? Shut up?
(05:34):
I know killing me. All right, let's get to your questions.
You can email us every week yourquestions, or you can hit us up
on X at the show Eddie atthe show, Thor, and we'll try
to get to them. Now we'regonna open up the questions with a little
bit of a criticism about you Thorthat says, hey, Eddie, can
you please do me a favor?And air out Thor on the podcast for
(05:58):
having the worst play I've ever heard. He said, to sit Geno Smith,
who got thirty six points, andto start Warren from Pittsburgh who got
me six points. Now I satachan Achan or whatever that guy's name is
from Dolphins, who got twenty sixpoints. So he put he put Warren
in because you said to play Warren. Yeah, but so twenty six points
(06:20):
compared to six and that just actuallydestroyed him. And he said he ended
up benching sixty two points because ofyou. Listen, First of all,
everyone and their mother had Geno Smithas a bench that game. Everybody on
their mind. He was playing inDallas where they're under where there. Dallas
is undefeated in like the last fourteengames there, and their defense is one
(06:41):
of the best in the league.No one was starting. Matthew Berry put
out a tweet apologizing for saying sityou and Matthew Berry and Matthew Berry the
same. Now did Jalen Warren thing? Listen, I didn't tell you to
bench deep Davon e Chan. Iwouldn't have benched him over Jalen Warren.
I just said for that week,I thought Jayleen Warren is gonna have a
good game. I'm sorry, listen, I will back you up because you
know, we give you who wethink. It's not a guarantee. If
(07:04):
it was, I'd be in theplayoffs. Yeah, you know what I
mean. It is what it iswe do. Our Pino Smith thing was
shocking. I did not see thatcoming. I don't think he did that
all year, and and and hey, I bench sharbone and I cost me
my games sixteen points. It costme the game. I didn't think Seattle
was gonna score at all. Soall right, let's get to other questions
here. Who do you guys likebetween Justin Herbert versus Denver or brock Party
(07:28):
versus Seattle Party. Perty's man.I'm sorry, but Herbert in that offense,
I don't know, man, Denver'sdefense is pretty good. I I
it pains me to say this becauseI still don't believe in block Party for
some reason. Really, I don'tknow why. I do not get it.
I think it's just because he wasa last pick. I know,
I know it was. That's theonly reason it makes sense. And I
get it. But at this point, I don't know what they will be.
(07:49):
It will be he'll have won twoSuper Bowls. It will be eight
years from now and people will stillbe going, is he great? You
know what I mean? Yeah,so I'm going with Purty. Yeah,
you have to go with the hothand at this point. And you know,
and I get it. Justin Herbertshould be the guy, but he's
not, just like Patrick Mahomes shouldbe the guy, he's not, And
so you got to go with thehot hand and go with pretty. I
(08:09):
agree with you. This one saysI need to decide between Tony Pollard or
Kyron Williams from my RB two position. I'm already set up my flex.
I need to decide between these twofor the running back options. Who do
you guys like? So, Idon't know how you don't start both of
them. I'd like to know whohis starter. Yeah, that's crazy because
I start both of them. Butif I had the choose between Pollard and
(08:30):
Kyron, honestly, I know thatKyron's playing the Ravens, but he's out
of his mind right now. Hislast two games have been crazy. And
Pollard doesn't score touchdowns. I thinkhe has two on the year. And
the defense, the Eagles defense couldstop the run. I think it's gonna
be more of a passing game,so I would probably lean towards kyn.
I don't know, but you can'tgo with Kyron. It's Kyron. I
mean it's a little anyway. Iknow. I just said play the hot
(08:52):
hand. Karen Williams is the hothand. But I don't know if I
can see Tony Pollard in this game. I think it's gonna be a shootout.
I like this game to be likea thirty eight to thirty one game
something like that. So Paulard's gotto get a lot of touches, He's
got to get a lot of throws. I get it. If you go
with Williams, it's I think eitherway, you're probably okay. That's why,
like I said, I want toknow who your flex is, because
(09:13):
I would start both like to know. I mean, that makes more sense.
But we'll see. Uh, thisis rare. I don't think we've
ever gotten a question about this allyear long, thor, but we have
a kicker question. Really, Thisguy says, I have a kicking dilemma.
I have two kickers on my rosterright now, and my playoff life
is on the line. Who doyou want to start between Justin Tucker from
(09:35):
the Ravens obviously, and Jason Sandersfrom the Dolphins. Who do you start?
That's really that's brutal, brutal,honestly, because honestly, there's so
many hidden points in defenses and kickerslike, that's why I like to flip
my defenses based on matchup. Forthe last week. The last four weeks,
I've gone against the Jets and theGiants and it's been great. You
(09:58):
know what, That's something I actuallyto your advice this week. I've had
Philly all year long and their defenseis hit and miss, and so this
is it. I have to win, and I'm in. So I dropped
Philly picked up Houston because they're playingthe Jets, and so I'm like,
I'm gonna pull a four here andsee if it works. It should so
like and with Kickers, I kindof did the same thing. I want
(10:18):
to say, who's playing inside ofa dome? And I look at their
trends. Miami's at home against Tennessee. Baltimore also at home, but you
know it's Baltimore weather compared to Miamiweather. Baltimore is taken on the rams.
I don't know, man, Ilike Tucker slightly. I think that
is gonna there are gonna kick alot of field goals in that game.
You know, You're Miami scores touchdownsmore than they do field goals, so
(10:41):
you may be getting a lot ofextra points there, So you want to
go field goals over extra points.That's why I give the slight edge to
Tucker. Yeah, I'm with youon that, especially because they're playing Tennessee,
so it could be a beatdown whereit's like, you know, thirty
to nothing and you only got youknow, five points or three points for
your kicker or whatever. I don'tknow, but yeah, look at the
trends too. How many times didthey score double digit points? How many
(11:03):
have they did they kick a lotof field goals? How many have they
missed? Tucker is the best kidskicker? Yeah? Also too, does
a team go for two a lot? Like certain teams their kicker. I
won't start their kicker because they gofor two and like so yeah, but
I'm with Eddie, I stay withTucker. Yeah. All right, let's
get to our starts and sits forthe week. At quarterback, who do
you want to start? I'm startingat justin fields at home against the Lions.
(11:24):
Really Yeah, I think remember theLions, the Lions. The Bear
should have beat the Lions in Detroit. I think the Lions have really come
back down to earth. I meanthey're out twenty one nothing in the New
Orleans and almost lost. They lostto on Thanksgiving to the Packers. I
think Justin Field is gonna have agood game beat the Lions. I have
thoughts about that game, but I'llget to that in a second. My
start is going to be a guywho is in the MVP conversation. He's
(11:48):
doing fantastic. It's Tua. Ithink the Dolphins offense at this point,
and you maybe have a situation I'veseen this in a lot of our leagues
where they have Tua and then theyhave another good courback because nobody was taking
quarterbacks early, nobody knew what Tuawas gonna be. So you have two
good maybe you have Dak and Tua. Who do I start? I go
with Tua. I think that theydestroyed Tennessee this week. They're just they're
(12:09):
the hottest team right now. Yeah, sit, who do you who you
gonna sit this week? I'm sittingBaker Mayfield at Atlanta. Atlanta's got a
good defense. It's it's in Atlanta, I mean, and Chris Godwin really
has just vanished. Hey, hegot in the ends on this past but
he only hid no catches. Itwas just that one run hit no catches.
Isn't that crazy? So I'm gonnasay, Baker Mayfield, I'm gonna
(12:33):
sit the guy who had maybe thegreatest performance in the whole season at quarterback.
Nobody saw this coming. Everybody waslike, who the heck is Jake
Browning. Everybody's picking him up.I see him. He's like one of
the hottest pickups. Yeah, relax, it's Jake Browning. And I don't
know they were going to see aperformance like that out of this guy ever.
Again, It's like remember when AaronRodgers sat and they played the Packers
(12:58):
played the Seahawks, and I forgotwho it was, and he's and he
had a great game and then hewent out and sounded like a massive contract
and then he was terrible. Ohthe guy win Seattle. Yeah, I
forget it. And then Russell Wilsonbeat him out, but Seattle gave him
like a fifty million dollars contract forone start. Yeah. I don't know
about Jake brown yet. Pump thebrakes before you go crazy with him taking
on the Colts this weekend. I'mnot ready to crown him yet. Running
(13:18):
back, who's your start I'm starting? Oh oh shoot, I screwed that
up. Damn it. I haveDevin Singletary as my start, but he
was actually gonna be my sit.And then I did another sit. But
I would, I would. Iwouldn't start Devin Singletary. Let me just
get that out there. Please donot, but I would. I'm gonna
go with Kyron Williams. I thinkhe's gonna have a big game again.
I think he's their guy. Okay, my start. So this is where
(13:41):
I was gonna get to with theDetroit Chicago game. Here is tough because
I either think this game is goingto be a super ridiculously high scoring game
or it's gonna be like a tento three game. I don't know.
I don't know what to expect outof these teams. I'm gonna go with
the higher scoring aspect of it.So I like Jamiir Gibbs this week.
The Choy's got to figure this out. They gotta go. Okay, if
(14:03):
the more we give give Gibbs theball, the better we do, and
once they figure that, I knowthey got Montgomery too, and you know
he vultures some touchdowns, which isfine. But Gibbs is the guy,
I mean between the twenties. Thatguy is fantastic. So he's got to
get the ball if they're going tobeat Chicago, and I like Gibbs this
week. Who's your shit? Myother sit outside Devins? This is going
to be shocking, but it needsto be said. He's been terrible Austin
(14:28):
Eckler, and he's going and he'sgoing against the Broncos who have a good
time. In mind, he AustinEckler broke a hundred yards since he came
back from this ankle injury. He'sbeen terrible. Like what happens? I
don't know. I can't sit him, I know, but I'm just like,
what happens my sit this week?I go back to that game you
just mentioned Tampa Bay Atlanta. Youknow that the Falcons have the number one
(14:48):
run defense. No I didn't.That's crazy. So Rashaud White, sorry,
you're getting the sit this week.I'm not doing it wide receiver.
Who's your start charges defense? Stinks? I'm going with court in sudden guy's
been unbelievable. Love this game.You love the big Broncos guy, that's
crazy. That's only two guys.Okay, listen, offenses hasn't been that
(15:09):
good. You know, we haven'tseen these giant scoring weeks. I think
this is the week that you're goingto see. You've heard me talk about
the Philly Dallas game. You heardme talk about the Bears Lions game.
I also believe that the Buffalo Chiefsgame is going to be nuts, which
is awesome and which I really dobelieve that. And you know that's again
why I'm keeping Patricks. But Ido think Buffalo is going to match him
(15:31):
up, and I think Josh Allenhas a big game. So obviously you're
going to start Stefan Diggs. Theother guy you're going to want to start
is Gabe Davis. I think youknow, Gabe Davis was a touchdown machine,
not so much this year. Ithink he finds in zone a couple
of times this week. So Ilike Gabe Davis this week. Who's your
sid I said it earlier, I'vedropped him. He's been awful. Chris
Godwin sit him. He I knowhe had a touchdown red hat he didn't
(15:54):
have a catch in the game.Well, Mike Evans had like seventy five.
Another guy played last week. Ohthat sucks. I can't take it.
Evans has been great. Oh yeah, that's crazy. What did he
just do? Like years? Yeah, that's crazy. My sit this week,
obviously, it's a massive disappointment ifyou are a Jacksonville fan. What
(16:15):
had happened to Trevor Lawrence? Andthen you go, oh, Christian Kirk
also out, So Calvin Ridley probablya decent start this week. But gotta
look, who's your quarterback? CJ. Bethard so Zay Jones, who
I know everybody is kind of jumpingmy little sneaky pick here. Yeah,
not so much. I don't buyit yet. I don't buy it yet.
I don't think Bethard is gonna gooff or something like that. And
(16:37):
so I don't think Zay Jones isa great start this week. He's my
sit tight end. Who do youlike? This pains me because I drafted
Travis Kelce in the first rounds whenI could have drafted Tyreek Hill and and
this is pains me. But Iread this today and I couldn't believe it.
But it's true. Taysom Hill isaveraging four more points a game in
(16:57):
Fantasy than Travis Kelcey's. Is thatright? Yes, that's how bad Travis
Kelsey has been this year for Traviskelce So I'm starting Taysom Hill this year.
This week. Wow, I meanthey put the He's like they're do
everything him and Alvin Kamara I basicallycan. And if car doesn't play,
you're gonna get quarterby points too,okay, because they're gonna want to throw.
They don't want James Winston throwing theball, right, nobody does.
(17:18):
So Yeah, my start is aguy. It has been a little bit
hit and miss, but I thinkthis is a week that he has a
good performance. I like TJ Hawkinsonthis week. I like Minnesota this week
against Las Vegas to get a dub. I know Dobbs has been struggling,
but I like them this week.I like t J Hawkinson this week.
Who's your sit? My sit wasa really big pick up two weeks ago
that everybody loves Pat Fryer move.I mean with no cany Pickett. I
(17:44):
don't know what him and mitchr Briskyyou have going on that score that game
maybe three nothing, So I'm sittingPat Fryer. Yeah, I'm on the
opposite end of that game where I'msitting every single Patriot. I don't know
why you would play them. Whathave they been? Shut out three of
the last four games, something likethat. It's atrocious, So Hunter,
Henry, you can suck it.I can't know You're name going nowhere near
(18:06):
that guy, No chance, nohell, not happening. All right,
say a little prayer to the fantasygods for me, because it's gonna be
tough for your old boy here.Hopefully we both get it. That would
be nice. That would be nice. We'll let you know next week.
Hopefully you go out there and geta win.
Wealthor remember at the beginning of theyear when you were dealing with injuries left
and right. Yes, I meanit almost cost you your season. Luckily
you rebounded. Well, I guessthe luck is now on me as my
season is pretty much over due toinjuries. It's time to review your fantasy

you know, fantasy is, man, it is a bitter pill sometimes,

Like this past week, I hadI tick on Tyreek Hill in two out
(00:45):

you know, you see that atthe beginning of the week, you're like
there you go. No, thatguy goes off with the game of his
life, you know, stuff likethat, and they will just crush you
and you're like, what the heck. Yeah, it's just you know,
that's when the cards are just notin your favor. That's what happened to
me too. And then the gamesthis past week, it's just I just
(01:06):
it's just I started the wrong guy. That's always the worst feeling brutal uh
well, and then the other thingthat will get you his injuries, and
you know you were dealing with this. I mean it was crazy the amount

it's it's on me where I mean, I'm getting these injuries at the worst
possible time, where I'm fighting formy playoff life in two out of my
(01:29):

amount of injuries that I have.So I lost Mark Andrews for the year
that that really hurts, you know, because he's one of three good tight
ends. I lost Joe Burrow,you know, so that kills me.
And then I lost Dallas Goddard,who was my backup before Mark Andrews.
So now I'm scraping, you know, the bottom of the barrels the world.
(01:49):
Yes, exactly. Uh. Andthen uh, you know we heard
a couple of weeks ago, Ilost Jonathan Taylor, so did you Uh?
And then but then the last coupleof weeks have been awful because I
I went with the strategy of draftinga couple of guys in all of my

(02:57):
If I win, I'm in.But in this leaguehere, Eddie and I
are in. If I win,we're and you win, we're both We're

don't have nobody, and then inour work league, I'm right now currently
sitting in last place, which iscrazy, which is crazy because I'm the

(03:22):

eventually at some point he's going toturn it around. And that's been my
philosophy and it's done me pretty wellin my fantasy career over the years.
(03:45):
This year it's not paying off becauseI drafted in two out of my three
leagues in the first round Patrick Mahomes, and he is I mean, you
want to talk, listen, He'sstill a great quarterback. Obviously they're still
winning the night. If I gowith the number one quarterback too in the
first round, you he's got toplay it at which is what he used
to do, which is what hewas doing in the same vein their offense
(04:06):
just stinks. They have nobody elsethan Travis kel and he's not having a

It's hard to do that year inyear out. So you know the thing

(04:29):
You know who my backup is.I have a backup quarterback and I
don't play him, Dak Prescott.Why haven't you been playing? I have

I can't he saved. I waszero and five. I lost Anthony

after like thirty five points a game. Dude, I know, because every
week I go, well, thisis the week. I can't sit Patrick
(04:51):
Mahomes because he's gonna go off.He's gonna throw fifteen killed every week.
It kills I get screwed, andso part of it it is my fault.
So now at this point, Igo, do I play DAK this
week against Philly or do I putin Holmest Who's about to go? They're
playing in Dallas. I think Phillyis going for and rapt for another beat
(05:14):
down. I just have a feeling. I think the wheels are about to
come off. I think the fakesten and one. Ever, I don't
know they do. They always playDallas tough and their division tough. Hou
is a different team in Dallas forsome reason. I'm trying to talk myself
out. I don't know what theheck to do. So, yeah,
it's been it's been rough. I'mmean, yeah, I've been sitting DAK
for Patrick Mahomes. You how manygames you could have won? Shut up?
(05:34):
I know killing me. All right, let's get to your questions.
You can email us every week yourquestions, or you can hit us up
on X at the show Eddie atthe show, Thor, and we'll try
to get to them. Now we'regonna open up the questions with a little
bit of a criticism about you Thorthat says, hey, Eddie, can
you please do me a favor?And air out Thor on the podcast for
(05:58):
having the worst play I've ever heard. He said, to sit Geno Smith,
who got thirty six points, andto start Warren from Pittsburgh who got
me six points. Now I satachan Achan or whatever that guy's name is
from Dolphins, who got twenty sixpoints. So he put he put Warren
in because you said to play Warren. Yeah, but so twenty six points
(06:20):
compared to six and that just actuallydestroyed him. And he said he ended
up benching sixty two points because ofyou. Listen, First of all,
everyone and their mother had Geno Smithas a bench that game. Everybody on
their mind. He was playing inDallas where they're under where there. Dallas
is undefeated in like the last fourteengames there, and their defense is one
(06:41):
of the best in the league.No one was starting. Matthew Berry put
out a tweet apologizing for saying sityou and Matthew Berry and Matthew Berry the
same. Now did Jalen Warren thing? Listen, I didn't tell you to
bench deep Davon e Chan. Iwouldn't have benched him over Jalen Warren.
I just said for that week,I thought Jayleen Warren is gonna have a
good game. I'm sorry, listen, I will back you up because you
know, we give you who wethink. It's not a guarantee. If
(07:04):
it was, I'd be in theplayoffs. Yeah, you know what I
mean. It is what it iswe do. Our Pino Smith thing was
shocking. I did not see thatcoming. I don't think he did that
all year, and and and hey, I bench sharbone and I cost me
my games sixteen points. It costme the game. I didn't think Seattle
was gonna score at all. Soall right, let's get to other questions
here. Who do you guys likebetween Justin Herbert versus Denver or brock Party
(07:28):
versus Seattle Party. Perty's man.I'm sorry, but Herbert in that offense,
I don't know, man, Denver'sdefense is pretty good. I I
it pains me to say this becauseI still don't believe in block Party for
some reason. Really, I don'tknow why. I do not get it.
I think it's just because he wasa last pick. I know,
I know it was. That's theonly reason it makes sense. And I
get it. But at this point, I don't know what they will be.
(07:49):
It will be he'll have won twoSuper Bowls. It will be eight
years from now and people will stillbe going, is he great? You
know what I mean? Yeah,so I'm going with Purty. Yeah,
you have to go with the hothand at this point. And you know,
and I get it. Justin Herbertshould be the guy, but he's
not, just like Patrick Mahomes shouldbe the guy, he's not, And
so you got to go with thehot hand and go with pretty. I
(08:09):
agree with you. This one saysI need to decide between Tony Pollard or
Kyron Williams from my RB two position. I'm already set up my flex.
I need to decide between these twofor the running back options. Who do
you guys like? So, Idon't know how you don't start both of
them. I'd like to know whohis starter. Yeah, that's crazy because
I start both of them. Butif I had the choose between Pollard and
(08:30):
Kyron, honestly, I know thatKyron's playing the Ravens, but he's out
of his mind right now. Hislast two games have been crazy. And
Pollard doesn't score touchdowns. I thinkhe has two on the year. And
the defense, the Eagles defense couldstop the run. I think it's gonna
be more of a passing game,so I would probably lean towards kyn.
I don't know, but you can'tgo with Kyron. It's Kyron. I
mean it's a little anyway. Iknow. I just said play the hot
(08:52):
hand. Karen Williams is the hothand. But I don't know if I
can see Tony Pollard in this game. I think it's gonna be a shootout.
I like this game to be likea thirty eight to thirty one game
something like that. So Paulard's gotto get a lot of touches, He's
got to get a lot of throws. I get it. If you go
with Williams, it's I think eitherway, you're probably okay. That's why,
like I said, I want toknow who your flex is, because
(09:13):
I would start both like to know. I mean, that makes more sense.
But we'll see. Uh, thisis rare. I don't think we've
ever gotten a question about this allyear long, thor, but we have
a kicker question. Really, Thisguy says, I have a kicking dilemma.
I have two kickers on my rosterright now, and my playoff life
is on the line. Who doyou want to start between Justin Tucker from
(09:35):
the Ravens obviously, and Jason Sandersfrom the Dolphins. Who do you start?
That's really that's brutal, brutal,honestly, because honestly, there's so
many hidden points in defenses and kickerslike, that's why I like to flip
my defenses based on matchup. Forthe last week. The last four weeks,
I've gone against the Jets and theGiants and it's been great. You
(09:58):
know what, That's something I actuallyto your advice this week. I've had
Philly all year long and their defenseis hit and miss, and so this
is it. I have to win, and I'm in. So I dropped
Philly picked up Houston because they're playingthe Jets, and so I'm like,
I'm gonna pull a four here andsee if it works. It should so
like and with Kickers, I kindof did the same thing. I want
(10:18):
to say, who's playing inside ofa dome? And I look at their
trends. Miami's at home against Tennessee. Baltimore also at home, but you
know it's Baltimore weather compared to Miamiweather. Baltimore is taken on the rams.
I don't know, man, Ilike Tucker slightly. I think that
is gonna there are gonna kick alot of field goals in that game.
You know, You're Miami scores touchdownsmore than they do field goals, so
(10:41):
you may be getting a lot ofextra points there, So you want to
go field goals over extra points.That's why I give the slight edge to
Tucker. Yeah, I'm with youon that, especially because they're playing Tennessee,
so it could be a beatdown whereit's like, you know, thirty
to nothing and you only got youknow, five points or three points for
your kicker or whatever. I don'tknow, but yeah, look at the
trends too. How many times didthey score double digit points? How many
(11:03):
have they did they kick a lotof field goals? How many have they
missed? Tucker is the best kidskicker? Yeah? Also too, does
a team go for two a lot? Like certain teams their kicker. I
won't start their kicker because they gofor two and like so yeah, but
I'm with Eddie, I stay withTucker. Yeah. All right, let's
get to our starts and sits forthe week. At quarterback, who do
you want to start? I'm startingat justin fields at home against the Lions.
(11:24):
Really Yeah, I think remember theLions, the Lions. The Bear
should have beat the Lions in Detroit. I think the Lions have really come
back down to earth. I meanthey're out twenty one nothing in the New
Orleans and almost lost. They lostto on Thanksgiving to the Packers. I
think Justin Field is gonna have agood game beat the Lions. I have
thoughts about that game, but I'llget to that in a second. My
start is going to be a guywho is in the MVP conversation. He's
(11:48):
doing fantastic. It's Tua. Ithink the Dolphins offense at this point,
and you maybe have a situation I'veseen this in a lot of our leagues
where they have Tua and then theyhave another good courback because nobody was taking
quarterbacks early, nobody knew what Tuawas gonna be. So you have two
good maybe you have Dak and Tua. Who do I start? I go
with Tua. I think that theydestroyed Tennessee this week. They're just they're
(12:09):
the hottest team right now. Yeah, sit, who do you who you
gonna sit this week? I'm sittingBaker Mayfield at Atlanta. Atlanta's got a
good defense. It's it's in Atlanta, I mean, and Chris Godwin really
has just vanished. Hey, hegot in the ends on this past but
he only hid no catches. Itwas just that one run hit no catches.
Isn't that crazy? So I'm gonnasay, Baker Mayfield, I'm gonna
(12:33):
sit the guy who had maybe thegreatest performance in the whole season at quarterback.
Nobody saw this coming. Everybody waslike, who the heck is Jake
Browning. Everybody's picking him up.I see him. He's like one of
the hottest pickups. Yeah, relax, it's Jake Browning. And I don't
know they were going to see aperformance like that out of this guy ever.
Again, It's like remember when AaronRodgers sat and they played the Packers
(12:58):
played the Seahawks, and I forgotwho it was, and he's and he
had a great game and then hewent out and sounded like a massive contract
and then he was terrible. Ohthe guy win Seattle. Yeah, I
forget it. And then Russell Wilsonbeat him out, but Seattle gave him
like a fifty million dollars contract forone start. Yeah. I don't know
about Jake brown yet. Pump thebrakes before you go crazy with him taking
on the Colts this weekend. I'mnot ready to crown him yet. Running
(13:18):
back, who's your start I'm starting? Oh oh shoot, I screwed that
up. Damn it. I haveDevin Singletary as my start, but he
was actually gonna be my sit.And then I did another sit. But
I would, I would. Iwouldn't start Devin Singletary. Let me just
get that out there. Please donot, but I would. I'm gonna
go with Kyron Williams. I thinkhe's gonna have a big game again.
I think he's their guy. Okay, my start. So this is where
(13:41):
I was gonna get to with theDetroit Chicago game. Here is tough because
I either think this game is goingto be a super ridiculously high scoring game
or it's gonna be like a tento three game. I don't know.
I don't know what to expect outof these teams. I'm gonna go with
the higher scoring aspect of it.So I like Jamiir Gibbs this week.
The Choy's got to figure this out. They gotta go. Okay, if
(14:03):
the more we give give Gibbs theball, the better we do, and
once they figure that, I knowthey got Montgomery too, and you know
he vultures some touchdowns, which isfine. But Gibbs is the guy,
I mean between the twenties. Thatguy is fantastic. So he's got to
get the ball if they're going tobeat Chicago, and I like Gibbs this
week. Who's your shit? Myother sit outside Devins? This is going
to be shocking, but it needsto be said. He's been terrible Austin
(14:28):
Eckler, and he's going and he'sgoing against the Broncos who have a good
time. In mind, he AustinEckler broke a hundred yards since he came
back from this ankle injury. He'sbeen terrible. Like what happens? I
don't know. I can't sit him, I know, but I'm just like,
what happens my sit this week?I go back to that game you
just mentioned Tampa Bay Atlanta. Youknow that the Falcons have the number one
(14:48):
run defense. No I didn't.That's crazy. So Rashaud White, sorry,
you're getting the sit this week.I'm not doing it wide receiver.
Who's your start charges defense? Stinks? I'm going with court in sudden guy's
been unbelievable. Love this game.You love the big Broncos guy, that's
crazy. That's only two guys.Okay, listen, offenses hasn't been that
(15:09):
good. You know, we haven'tseen these giant scoring weeks. I think
this is the week that you're goingto see. You've heard me talk about
the Philly Dallas game. You heardme talk about the Bears Lions game.
I also believe that the Buffalo Chiefsgame is going to be nuts, which
is awesome and which I really dobelieve that. And you know that's again
why I'm keeping Patricks. But Ido think Buffalo is going to match him
(15:31):
up, and I think Josh Allenhas a big game. So obviously you're
going to start Stefan Diggs. Theother guy you're going to want to start
is Gabe Davis. I think youknow, Gabe Davis was a touchdown machine,
not so much this year. Ithink he finds in zone a couple
of times this week. So Ilike Gabe Davis this week. Who's your
sid I said it earlier, I'vedropped him. He's been awful. Chris
Godwin sit him. He I knowhe had a touchdown red hat he didn't
(15:54):
have a catch in the game.Well, Mike Evans had like seventy five.
Another guy played last week. Ohthat sucks. I can't take it.
Evans has been great. Oh yeah, that's crazy. What did he
just do? Like years? Yeah, that's crazy. My sit this week,
obviously, it's a massive disappointment ifyou are a Jacksonville fan. What
(16:15):
had happened to Trevor Lawrence? Andthen you go, oh, Christian Kirk
also out, So Calvin Ridley probablya decent start this week. But gotta
look, who's your quarterback? CJ. Bethard so Zay Jones, who
I know everybody is kind of jumpingmy little sneaky pick here. Yeah,
not so much. I don't buyit yet. I don't buy it yet.
I don't think Bethard is gonna gooff or something like that. And
(16:37):
so I don't think Zay Jones isa great start this week. He's my
sit tight end. Who do youlike? This pains me because I drafted
Travis Kelce in the first rounds whenI could have drafted Tyreek Hill and and
this is pains me. But Iread this today and I couldn't believe it.
But it's true. Taysom Hill isaveraging four more points a game in
(16:57):
Fantasy than Travis Kelcey's. Is thatright? Yes, that's how bad Travis
Kelsey has been this year for Traviskelce So I'm starting Taysom Hill this year.
This week. Wow, I meanthey put the He's like they're do
everything him and Alvin Kamara I basicallycan. And if car doesn't play,
you're gonna get quarterby points too,okay, because they're gonna want to throw.
They don't want James Winston throwing theball, right, nobody does.
(17:18):
So Yeah, my start is aguy. It has been a little bit
hit and miss, but I thinkthis is a week that he has a
good performance. I like TJ Hawkinsonthis week. I like Minnesota this week
against Las Vegas to get a dub. I know Dobbs has been struggling,
but I like them this week.I like t J Hawkinson this week.
Who's your sit? My sit wasa really big pick up two weeks ago
that everybody loves Pat Fryer move.I mean with no cany Pickett. I
(17:44):
don't know what him and mitchr Briskyyou have going on that score that game
maybe three nothing, So I'm sittingPat Fryer. Yeah, I'm on the
opposite end of that game where I'msitting every single Patriot. I don't know
why you would play them. Whathave they been? Shut out three of
the last four games, something likethat. It's atrocious, So Hunter,
Henry, you can suck it.I can't know You're name going nowhere near
(18:06):
that guy, No chance, nohell, not happening. All right,
say a little prayer to the fantasygods for me, because it's gonna be
tough for your old boy here.Hopefully we both get it. That would
be nice. That would be nice. We'll let you know next week.
Hopefully you go out there and geta win.
