With that we while are you inside of Studio thirty four. This is the BFFs. He is Frank Stanfel. I am Greg Susman. What's happening, Frankie? Happy Monday, or at least I hope it's a happy

Monday for you. A lot of fun fantasy football this past weekend, with a lot of disappointment as well, and we'll get into all of that, Greg, but before that, I just sleep, buddy. It's up really well. Last night it was funny because last night during something that I football. I had some friends over. We played Settlers of Katan, you know, like him, still have no idea. I know that you play it. I don't know anything about he played Sellers of Katan while watching something night football and

it was it was on in the background. I've never seen Judy just so engaged in a game, just saying in the couch's like staring at it like I'm at the kitchen table, and she's just like, huh, did you know Maton Mfloor was in Kyle Shanahan's wedding. I'm like, no, I did not know that. I had a lot of fun facts like that left. She was giving me all these facts from the other side of the room, what is happening right now? And then she was really really angry you had the results turned out for her. It's

not great, not so much. I'm gonna guess that she was either in Aaron Rodgers or Aaron Jones owner or both Aaron Jones. It was, yeah, not a great game last night for the Packers. Honestly, she only needed to watch the first half because it wasn't really competitive. In the second half, at least, Davante Adams scored his first touchdown Greg in Week twelve. All right, let's go, let's go, Davonte Adams not letting any fantasy owners down all season long. Next topic, Okay, it was a fun It was a

fun day of football throughout the day yesterday. How did you sleep? I slept very well. I got in bed a little bit earlier last night, right after the Sunday night football game ended. I was very tired. It was. It was a long weekend. Great, but then earlier was midnight. Well it's early for me. What are you in bed? We'll talk about it later, all right, usually later than midnight. Okay, Yeah, it was like a secret question. Uh fine. So yeah,

So a lot of good stuff yesterday. And I want to start out, and it was a weird spot because I think they're very boring team and I will never actually choose to watch them. I want to start with the Tennessee Titans, man because Derry Henry, like we not beat around it. But I mentioned the last couple of weeks that Derrick Henry like unheralded, nobody really wants him in drafts because doesn't catch passes, they don't utilize them enough. They're not fun, they're not sexy and this guy's unreal.

I think here against the Jaguars, but he's unreal man, And I gotta ask. I know Derrick Henry one people match up yesterday, but I gotta ask, where should he go next year? That is a good question. And I'm sure a lot of people are going to say it's format dependent. If you play in non PPR, you play in standard, he's a borderline first standards. I don't I

don't want to know that. What in half PPR he I mean, he still has a ton of value because everything he does on the ground right at some point we have to take the l we as a fantasy There was not a lot of people outside of Eric Young who were on Derrick Henry this year because a many people play in PPR, leaves Greg and B. Derrick Henry does not catch a lot of passes. Now, you

can still have fantasy success while not catching passes. But this is basically the optimal scenario for Derrick Henry right now. I mean, he is hitting his ninety fifth percentile projection based on what he's doing right now, just rush in terms of his yardage totals and what he's doing on the ground and Dean Lewis does not have much of a role on this team. Greg. When they get inside

the red zone, it's all Derrick Henry. You know, while Ryan Tannehill has been very good for fantasy football purposes, this is a running football team, Greg. They want to play defense, they want to run the football. That's exactly what they do. So I think next year he's probably a second round pick, maybe a borderline first round, but I feel like he's gonna be that second round pick once again. Nobody wants right here, you're gonn look at

Derrick Henry. But here's the thing. Next, everyone's gonna say regression, touchdown, regression. There's no way he could score this many touchdown. Here's the thing. So last year, when Derrick Henry broke out finally the second half of the year, he wanted up finishing with one thousand, fifty nine yards and twelve touchdowns. He will break over that one fifty nine mark next week in Week thirteen, the touchdowns twelve. Last year, he'll probably finish with a round. Let's say this year, what

what what's the regression? He did the same thing last year that he's doing this year. He's in the prime of his career on a team that only runs the football. There's nothing wrong with Derrick Henry. It's a guy that you can feel confident in. Find if it's not sexy, find if you know there's going to be some admittedly duds in during the schedule. We can said about anybody. Hell, DeVante Adams didn't have a touchdown until this week, as you just kindly noted, Henry Man, what are you here? Yeah,

it's been a great season. Again, he loves playing against the Jacksonville Jaguars. But you're right, I'm not saying that I'm gonna be one of those people who's a screaming out, you know, regression. And you can't target Derrick Henry because he doesn't catch passes. Greg in full PPR leagues, he is still the RB seven overall. Here's the thing, that's top ten running back. Here's the thing. He doesn't catch passes. There's only been three games all season, three where he

didn't score a touchdown. Three in one of those games he ran twenties seven times for a hundred yards. Okay, that's cool. Let's move on two duds to legit does this year. You know what no one Legit does this year? Because I'll make it too, cause he lost the fumble, not one to legit. Legit does sixteen for seventy five against the Bucks and then the real bad one fifteen twenty eight against the Broncos, and I get it. There's no supplementing it because not catching any passes. So what

you see is what you get. So that's seven for one. It's exactly ten points, right, like there's nothing alright, had an eight yard cash fine, so it's eleven points. There is no supplementary value there. But if you're a floor for the most part is ten points, Okay, we'll take it. You want it as your RV two. I understand that hesitation. I understand the trepidation is good man, he's he's a good running back. He's ridiculous, six ft three, two hundred

and fifty pounds. The guy is still just twenty five years old. He has the pedigree greg he was a great player in college as well, and the explosiveness you know as a player that big. He's built like a linebacker, but he moves like a running back, which is crazy. You don't normally see that type of combination of skill set in one player, specifically a running back. So I'm with you, man, It's hard to argue against him at

this point. Take a break when we come back the others, the winners and losers at from week twelve, We're on the NFL. Want to be the next Daily Fantasy Millionaire.

I was telling Frank during the break before the show started. A lot to do tonight, laundry, to do, Yeah, do

our free thanks Giving stuff. I found out last night or this morning. Rather that Judy is like taking off on Wednesday and going home tomorrow, so I like and for myself for dinner the next monight. All right, and well thanks for the update, Judy. Yeah, like she literally bought dinner. He's like, all right, wait, I'm not gonna be here, like what so you've either a gotta cook for yourself or be buy something. I'm gonna come for myself for the money. What do you make nugget challenge?

Sure you don't want to try it tomorrow. I'm gonna it's never too late, make taco night, Taco Tuesday, Tuesday, Taco Tuesday for myself. Alright, I'm depressing. What do you do on Thanksgiving? Usually? How do you do you divvy up the time? Like half the day at Judy's house, half the day at Robbie Suss's house. This is the thing, right, like thank you laying My mom moved to Florida because like, you got three families you got to deal with. Yeah,

that would have been right. That's the last two years. We used to suffer eight because you know we weren't married but the last two years. But you wouldn't like go to one house together and go to another house together when home? Really yeah, even dating for as long as you were yeah, but last year her parents went to my dad's. This year her parents are coming to my dad's. So all good, all right, get everybody under one roof. Right next year, she told me, there's gonna

be an issue. Oh my god, God worried with us already. Starting last year. King and I just started to dinner at her house, dessert at my parents. Well, I can't do that. I can hang out there for the rest of the night, just watch football. I can't. I can't do that because one of the my dad lives in Jersey and her parents live in Philly. Quite the issue there, Greg, Yeah, so at some point, you know, at some point I'll get a house and just to everybody. But that part

that the day is not anytime soon, Greggy. With the house, not anytime soon. No, I mean, come on, you must have made out all right with the wedding. I haven't opened the gifts yet. Going going towards the house fund probably, but I have not opened a single gift yet. All right, you see, Just so you just because you're wondering, I'm not opening. Take your time, but opening up around you know, hot Christmas, give yourself an extra gift probably, Well, here

you go, all right with that. When I opened those gifts, I'll be a winner. Who else is a winner and a loser? And this weekend, we tell you right now the BFFs presents winners. I one losers. You suck. You are one pathetical loser, and I have no idea what's going on. Let's get it right back into it, Frank, I want to stay with this Titans Jags game. A rare place to start, I know. But Ryan tatting La

for the ball eighteen times, really good. Two touchdowns, including one to the phenomenal a Jay Brown, four for one thirty five including a beastly sixty five yards score. Evins those hundred thirty five yards next highest total receiver for Davis n Not very good, Greg. We have very clear winners in this Titans game. We already spoke about Derrick Henry continuing to get it done from a fantasy perspective

and in real life perspective for being honest. But Ryan tannehill Man, since this guy has become the starter at least nineteen fantasy points in all five of the starts that he has made, two passing touchdowns yesterday, two rushing touchdowns over the last three games, He's averaging thirty eight rushing yards per game as well, so they're getting him, you know, out of the pocket a little bit, making

plays with his legs. He has that athleticism. Greg, if you told me before the season that O see Arthur Smith would be the one to get the most out of Ryan Tannehill, I would have told you you crazy, of course. But A J. Brown two man, four for one, thirty five, one touchdown, five targets, All four of those receiving numbers, the receptions, yards, touchdowns, and targets led the Titans yesterday. Greg, he is very easily the number one wide receiver for this team. John HU Smith, very big loser,

did not come through even without Delaney Walker. Corey Davis also a loser. Can't make it work with Tannehill Mariotta. Doesn't matter who the quarterback is. Corey Davis, you are a loser when it comes to Derrick Henry, A. J. Brown and Ryan Tannehill very big winners, Greg, and I think that they're gonna end up winning people a lot of fantasy football championships based on that upcoming schedule as well.

On the other side, big winner LETTERD four net called nine passes yesterday for six targets and then rush for another ninety seven yards. Another Jacks war comeback mode all game. Letard Fournett doesn't come off the field. He was awesome yesterday, a monster, monster winner. Another winner, You guy, man, it's ned Westbrook eight for sixty nine, nine targets. You called this one. I wanted to bend up for Starling Shephard.

I was wrong. Nice job, Frankie. Yeah, nine targets. He uestterday four d d. Westbrook was tied for second on the team with Chris Conley, and all of the Jaguars pass catchers are going to be in play next week when they face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Secondary of course, everybody succeeds against the Bucks except Matt Ryan, but we'll get to that a little bit later. On Greg Leonard Fournett nine receptions, twelve targets. Those we're both career highs

from yesterday. First time in his career career he has had double digit targets in a game. Doug Maron said last week that he was gonna get Leonard Fournett back involved. They were gonna feed the beast. That's exactly what they did. Thirty three touches for Leonard Fournett in this game, some positive touchdown regression. He falls into the end zone twice in this game yesterday. Greg, absolutely, he was awesome yesterday for the Jacksonville Jaguars and for fantasy owners, getting you

into the Fantasy players playoffs. DJ he want call on a loser work. I think it's an a situation. I heard some people talk about, well, it took took one game for Nick Foles to remember that D. D. Westbrook is guy. But which and up coming schedule man the Bucks next week? I forgot off the top of my head who they have. But it's it's good matchups for Nick Foles in the passing attack. Whether it's him Weather Gardner, I'm inshew. I know they were talking earlier today about

a potential quarterback change. Either way, they've got some really good matchups coming up. I am not worried about DJ Tark's targets being down in this game, Greg, he is good enough to the point where even if the targets are down a little bit, we'll be able to make the most of it. Shark and the Chargers have, Sorry, Shark and the Jaguars have Tampa Bay. As you mentioned next week and the fantasy playoffs is the Chargers, the Raiders,

the Falcons. Okay, so the Charger is not great against Casey Hayward, the Waiters and Falcons great Westburg and US in the slot though. Love it. I love it. It's interesting, man, I'm I'm really interested in that one. Um. Let me go to a big game from yesterday ever the Dallas Cowboys and the New England Patriots. It was kind of a stinkerst nine. Both teams were predictably not good, bad weather and whatnot, um Alice, many of people protecting them to an outright and they had a good chance if

it wasn't for the clapper, Greg. But at least they are number one. It's something. And that is, of course clapping on the sidelines, not being aggressive late in this game. Back to the page. What do you do? What you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? But you know what I did do. As soon as I saw the way that this game started, Greg, and the weather and how much running was happening, I texted our guy Window will Over at the Medal Lands Sports Book. I said, dude,

you gotta hit the under from me here. Put in the bed for me, so I hit on that I did have a little bit sprinkled on the money line, so that didn't Will just all day gets text from people do and I actually texted him, I'm like, dude, if I ever annoy you and you don't want to do this, just tell me. And I'm perfectly fine with it. I feel like I bother him a lot, but I'm not the only one. So shout out to window Will one of our producers over at the Meadowlands Sports Book.

But Greg, yeah, I mean, look, it was a stinker of a performance specifically for Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper, and kind of gives you some pause for the cowboy is passing attack moving forward, because Dak Prescott has had a lot of really good games, Greg, but they came in really good matchups. On Thanksgiving he will face off against the Buffalo Bills. He's got some other tough matchups coming up here for Dak Prescott. For Amari Cooper, I don't know if a Mari Cooper is still banged up.

He's still played a ton of the snaps yesterday. But Stefan Gilmour is that good? Just two targets for Monty Cooper left with a donut. One of, if not the biggest loser from week twelve is Amari Cooper. Indeed, how about Randall cob Man leading this team and receiving seven targets in each of the past four games, at least seven targets in each one of those games. The receptions have been there, the receiving yards have been there. Again.

Tough matchup coming up against the Buffalo Bills, but Randall Cobb has been really the loan consistent bright spot for this Cowboys passing attack. Ezekiel Elliott very good yesterday, like I told you he would be. I'm not really worried about Ezekiel Elliott. Twenty one carries for eighties six yards, even chipped in with four receptions for forty So Zeke not worried. Zeke does this. They clearly wanted to get him going yesterday. Uh and they did. He finish those

runs very very strong yesterday. Mary Cooperman, that cost people playoff spots. A monstrous loser, dude. What happened with James White to other side mega dog yesterday? Two carries for five yards, three targets, and it was a good matchup because the Cowboys were allowing a ton of receptions in receiving yards to running back so far this season. So Tony Michelle season his most snaps thirty five snaps since

Week six. Monty carries for eighty five yards. He ran efficiently, didn't get in the end zone of course, didn't catch me passes. But a good game for Sony Michelle. Real real clunker for James White. Julian Animan wasn't a percent but still gave the eat for ninety three winner for that game and he were desperate with Nikila Harry score touchdowns. I wasn't a done from Watson Greg. I want to

Finally learned better late than never, mad, Yes, so man, maybe you should really talk quieter, learn something new. But the thing is your range is just too far because sometimes you'll whisper into the month, right, So it's like I'm trying to this is obviously my normal voice, right,

talk to you like this all the time. Right. It's all right to get excited sometimes raise it up a little bit, right, But it's like this is which is reading acceptable broadcast excitement? Greg Susman broadcast excitement. I've literally been told as as a graduated college that's kind of the issue, al right. Well, and then and then when Greg likes to whisper, it's down here acceptable broadcast whisper little up here. So the bad news is I can't

go to greg excitement levels over a man beau. But I can't get to the whisper because it wasn't that bad either, So I'll just talking my normal voice for Bo Scarborough and Alliance. They fell out of the Washington football team nineteen sixteen, Big Bow, Frank. It wasn't done. It wasn't a loser. I don't feel horrible about it because he rushed six eighteen times ninety eight yards fumba

which sucked, boa not awful. I'm actually more encouraged than you are when overt of the snaps eighteen carries ran efficiently over five yards per carry goes up against the Chicago Bears on Thursday Night football. I expect a lot of running in that game because Jeff Driscoll, what do you know, not good? Three intersections against Washington defense not good. Although of the interceptions, one was just like a deep heat of whatever excuses for Jeff Driscoll. It wasn't the

past numbers say. Regardless, Jeff Triscle not a great quarterback. So I think that Bo Scarborough is gonna be in a position to once again see fifteen plus carries on Thanksgiving. While you're getting ready to eat your turkey, drink your beard of your apple side or whatever you want to drink and eat, O Scarborough will be on in the background, dominating the Chicago Bears, I hope. So, man, I've got on a boat on my way to my dad's house.

So he's on a boat, right, So I'll have red zone like this, and I'll be like or I guess, uh, CBS or Fox like this, and like bo bo bo bo bo. All you've gotta do, Greggy is bow leave. It was very good. He was good. The rest of the Lions whatever an other related to speak of here, Washing football team they get it done, and you ran very similarly both Scarborough and Darius Guys. Bow Rushbroom was a hundred yards. Darius Guys did not. No, he didn't. Greg.

I have Darius Guys in the situations, maybe even a loser. He did leave the team in snaps of the snaps yesterday. But yeah, tied with Adrian Peter. What do we still do with Adrian Peterson? What more do you need to see? Adrian Peterson? You have had a phenomenal career, much like Frank Gore. You have been a thorn in the side of running backs the past couple of years. But the time has come. Let's see what we have in Darius Guys. Let's see him play with Dwayne Haskins for most of

the game. If you're Lucky Washington and for the fans out there, this is going to be your tandem of the future, right, Dwayne Haskins, Darius Guys, Terry McLarin those lucky, that's what you want to be your team of the future. Well, look, you you you put as much draft capital into those three spots as you did, then I'm I'm sure you're hoping that it does turn out to be those three that are leading the team into uh the next phase

of success there in Washington. Dude, I don't even know if that's possible, but come on, man, let's let's get Darius Guys more work here. I was excited about him in this matchup. It was a good matchup against Detroit. He didn't come through. Not much usage in the passing game either, Greg, just two targets for Darius Guys, one reception. He had the receiving touchdown last week, so it's an

air probably more of a loser. You're right, Terry McLaurin. No, Greg actually thought he was a winner man, twelve targets, they force fed him five or seventy two, had a wide open touchdown, and then Dwayne Haskins reminded us that he stinks. But I do like the fact that we saw twelve targets for Terry McLarin in this game and the fact that he was targeted in the red zone, so I would consider him a winner. I would also consider Terry McLarin a winner here in this game you

mentioned before, Frank Gore, So let's go to Buffalo. As the Buffalo Bills were able to defeat Denver twenty to three, they dominated this one. So you have domination, big winner, seven singletary, twenty one carries in this ball game, hundred and six years on the ground. In fact, the entire rushing attack was good. As Frank Gore he did fifteen carries for sixty five years, Josh Allen rushed the ball uh nine times or fifty six years. You know, Josh

Allen takes advantage of these subpart matchups. He or the subpart officer team that should say the Bills did just that on Sunday. I was really encouraged by Josh Allen in this game from a fantasy perspective because he showed that he can still provide value and tougher matchups. Denver really strong secondary. Josh Allen still through for two touchdowns yesterday. I've been pointing four yards per attempt, very solid and again as that floor because of his rushing ability. Nine

rushes for fifty six yards. You know, if you're playing a four point passing touchdown four or six, it doesn't matter. Fifty six rushing yards basically equates to another touchdowns. So I mean, if he's a traditional quarterback, he's throwing four three touchdowns in this game against the Denver Broncos, so that that's a really nice performance from him from a fantasy perspective. I know he faces Dallas on Thursday on in week thirteen here, but I'm I'm not worried moving

forward about the matchups when it comes to Josh Allen. Greg, You're right about Devin Singletary seventy one percent of the snaps. He's been over sixty percent of the snaps each of the past four weeks. Twenty one carries a hundred and six yards. I wish if he would get more involved in the past game, but we've seen this now with Josh Allen when his when he goes through his reads, his progressions and people are not open down the field. Instead of him checking down, he actually just takes off

and runs himself. So it's good for his fantasy value, not necessarily great for Devin Singletary. And shout out to Frank Gore and moving into third place on the all time rushing leaders list. I know a lot of people are gonna debate whether or not he's a Hall of Famer just because he's an accumulator. Frank Gore is a Hall of Famer to continue doing this at his advanced age. He's in his mid thirties, averaging four point three yards for carrying a game on fifteen carries at this stage

of his career. Really really impressive. Great job by Frank or John Brown find the found the end zone, which was important to save his day there. I guess the touchdown which was big. Basicly, we'll talk about him tomorrow in the waiver wire will six or seventy six. Yes, yesterday, he did a really good as of late Cole Beasley as reliable isn't come by weeks are over those, We'll see what kind of room you have col Beasley in your story lineup. On the other side for Denver, I

thought Philip, so here's my take away. Phillip Lindsay was a winner in this game thirteen or fifty seven. Royce Freeman did not a nota and I know they're coming back the whole game, so Lindsay was in there. I thought it was interesting to note. Nonetheless, Frank, you know what's crazy. Philip Lindsay had fourteen touches and Royce Freeman

had four. If you had to guess what they're split was in terms of snap percentage, Greg, what would thirty how about this, Royce Freeman fifty six percent of the snaps Phillip Lindsay. Royce Freeman had more snaps, he just wasn't used when he was on the field. Weird. It's very weird, but hey, I would I would say that he is a winner though, because he still is being

used more. The last week they came out and said that they wanted Philip Lindsay to be the guy that they were going to lean on him a little bit more. While the snaps don't represent that here, the touches certainly due. Fourteen touches for Philip Lindsay just four for Royce Freeman. This was a good matchup for Lindsay, but unfortunately the rest of the play on offense in terms of Brandon Allen and pretty much everybody else involved, really limited his

upside in this spot. So I wanted to like Philip Lindsay for the stretch run heading into the Fantasy football playoffs here Greg, but I think that his upside will be capped. Whether it's Brandon Allen who's the quarterback they're talking about Drew Lock potentially taking over as the quarterback here. Uh. And it affected Courtland's Sutton as well. Eight targets. You love to see that, but only one reception for twenty seven yards. We knew it was a tough spot for

both him and John Brown. John Brown was the one who could overcome the bad matchup. Courtland Sutton just could not get it done. Great now he was very I think they'd probably go to Drew Lock. If not next week, the week after, we'll see Drew Lock certainly start games. Uh this year for the Denver Broncos. Let's go next. Where did I want to head next? I wanted to go shoot. Oh. The one thing we want to mention

with Dallas. By the way, how many people won their matchups based on Michael Gallops catch at the end of the game where there was one second left? What do we need? There's one second left? Exactly, just threw to Gallup. I was like, oh my god, matchups on and it would it would be even crazier if it had been you know, like primetime a Sunday or Monday night, like just ending the week. People would have just have that

last thing playing over and over in their mind. I'm sure that's gonna be something that swings a lot of fantasy matchups. It happens every single week is crazy. Here's what it definitely wanted to mention, and that was the emergency any Snell. Yesterday with the Pittsburgh Stelers. There was one game one under the number here um as everybody knew it would, but what they didn't know is that there would be a five man committee seemingly for the

Pittsburgh Steelers. I was sitting next to Alex down stairs or producer, and I was like, who's this guy running the ball? And he just names somebody I don't. I don't think that's and I guarantee you look, if Alex is down there and wants to pick up a headset and tell me otherwise, I will not believe him one bit. There's no way he knew who Keret White was carried. He said he felt with a y W H y

t E Kareth White. Greg I tweeted about a quarter into this game yesterday that they had there were three Steelers running backs with carries, none of which were named Jalen Samuels. So this was just crazy. You didn't know what was gonna happen. And that's what we said last week. Greig, if you remember, you asked me, what do you have having trouble with most in terms of rankings this week, And I said the Steelers running backs because I didn't

have any idea what it was gonna be. I don't think anybody knew, right, Like, yeah, maybe someone guessed that it was going to be Ben Snell, But guess what, you had a one out of three check that one in a week chance of getting this one right. So if someone actually touted Benny Snell last week, shout out to you. He led his team in and you're like, I looked full transparency. I did not want anything to do with this Steeler situation, Greg, because I didn't know

who it was gonna be. I ranked Jalen Samuel was the highest because it was a great matchup against Cincinnati and last time we saw him play Cincinnati he had all those receptions. I thought, maybe we can get a similar game. But Benny Snell plays the most snaps yesterday. Of the snaps, Jalen Samuel's was second with but twenty one carries for Benny Snell rushing yards almost five yards of popping this game. Not gonna do anything as a

pass catcher. But James Connor see if he plays this week going up against Cleveland a good matchup, and even if James Conner does go, there's a chance that he re injures himself.

Welcome back to the Fantasy Best Friends Forever live on the Sportscreen TV Network. Frank Stample joined by Greg Sussman, Little Technical difficulties here with the microphone. But no issues here, Greggy. I'm on like two now, the job everybody down there to I realized it, you know, for the my mic off, and I said, I turned it off and turned it off, and now you could

have turned it back on. You can't turn it on. I I tried to turn it off, Danny, and I got it off. Hey, Greggy, you broke a microphone. Guess what You're fired? Yeahs you for later. Now people are not going to realize. It's like I just did know. They're not going to all right anyway. So great job by you, though, Greg, noticing very quickly you are one of these sharper tools in the ship man. Thank god it wasn't somebody else was screaming shout out to smash mouth.

I got it, I got it, I got I got it. There, you got we all got it. We're all I got it. Yeah, if you were anybody else, I mean, you know you were mad about blow up. You're mad about what do you got? So I had a choice in my Survivor playoff pool, which i'll talk about in a bit. I don't how much time left, but I'll try to um.

I was choosing between Odell Beckham Jr. This week, and I was choosing me and Jarvis Landry, and I went with O'Dell because I took out the other two receivers I chose this week where PPR guys right was Renfrol and I took Jamison crowd will get the Jets in a second, you know what. Let me go with Odell over Jarvis, and I'll use Jarvis in our in our playoffs. And I forgot because we didn't harp on this all week.

It was a revenge game for Jarvis Landry. Should have you should have read my rankings column on rotal experts. I speak to you every day. I wrote about the revenge game for Jarvis land So we joke a lot about the revenge game. And most of the time it doesn't matter. It's stupid. But there's certain players and there's certain organizations that actually care about this. That's Jarvis Landry and that's the Cleveland Brands. Jarvis Landris peppered yesterday rightfully so.

Ten catchest eight yards, receiving two touchdowns. He is Baker Mayfield's number one wide receiver. He looks through him more than anybody else on this team. He was awesome yesterday. Oh no, it wasn't bad at six eight four and touchdown himself. This is certainly the Jarvis Landry show. And I heard on the way in this morning on the

Fantasy Football Today podcast. Shout out to those guys that Jarvis Landry actually leads to Cleveland Browns in targets inside of the red zone and inside of the ten yard line. So when they get inside that part of the field, I think what has happened with Odell Beckham so far this season, Greg is a lot like Julio Jones right where teams are focusing so much to take Odell Beckham away in that part of the field, in the red zone,

in the in the ten yard line. You know, once they get closer, you know, to the to the end zone there that it's opening up more opportunities for Jarvis Landry. That's why you're seeing more and more touchdowns, more targets come his way. He has double digit targets in four of his last five games. He has scored five touchdowns over the last four games. That is Jarvis Landry and Greg. Since Kareem Hunt has made his debut with this team,

this Cleveland Brown's offense just looks different. I don't know if it's directly tied to him. It might be he's playing a lot. They're using him as a pass catcher. Uh, they're getting creative, you know, using him as a wide receiver at times with Nick Chubb on the field. But for whatever reason, this offense is taking off. Baker is playing really well. Odell Beckham gets back in the end zone yesterday, first time since he faced the New York Jets back in whatever it was WE two or WE

three that he has scored a touchdown. It was still a good game for road Up Beckham, but it wasn't the Jarvis Landry type game. You're right, Jarvis Landry is the number one wide receiver on the team, right Nick Chub. Nick Chub was awesome. Twenty one carries a hundred and six yards fifty eight yards receiving. Like the first quarter yesterday, Chubb was great. Kareem Hunt. They continued to involve him

as much as possible. He's a winner as well. On the other side, Dante Parker, I saw you tweeting about this, Frank, He's been great this year. The breakout was real. It happened. Witnesses another one shout out to e Y Man just got this completely right. I know that you know three years, but you know, never give up. That's the moral of

the story here when it comes to fantasy football. If you have your guy, let stick with your guy and eventually he will pay off for you or maybe not, but in this case for Devantay Parker, it did work out for e Y. I know that a strategy that Eric Young had coming into the season was just drafting number one wide receivers on respective teams, regardless of the situation. He did that with Courtland Sutton. That has worked out very well for him, and he did that with Devanta Parker.

Greg at least fifty six receiving yards or a touchdown in ten of eleven games for Devanta Parker this year. Since Preston Williams has gone down, he has double digit targets in every single game. His next four matchups the Eagles, who have played better against wide receivers recently, the Jets, the Giants, and the Cincinnati Bengals. Devanta Parker is going to win a lot of people championships this year in fantasy football. Greg, He's just twenty six years old and

he's on pace for over a thousand yards. Sometimes it takes a few years. Sometimes it takes a gun slinging quarterback like Ryan fitz Patrick. But for whatever reason, Davante Parker's potential is finally being unlocked. Absolutely, Calen Caitlin Millage, that's have been carried for thirteen yards. I mentioned the New York Jets before Jameson Crowder and Hunter renfro Uh. Those two did go out of yesterday, but it wasn't much going at because the Jets estimated the Raiders three

four to three Crookland. You know, this is when you should have seen coming. Also, the Raiders are one and three on the road this year, East Coast one o'clock, Eric car stinks and cold weather games. Their season is on the line next week against Kansas City in Kansas City, so you know it's gonna be cold there too. It's gonna be raucous there. And they never showed up the play yesterday. No, they just didn't cross country trip. And they spoke about this a lot on the broadcast. Of course,

you know I have to set up. I have my laptop with Twitter, I have the Jets open, and then I have Red Zone on the TV. So I'm watching the Jets and they're talking about how much traveling the Raiders have had to do this season, going to London, having all those games in a row, where they're on the road now traveling from the West coast to the East coast to face the New York Jets, and it is an unfortunate situation, but it's nothing that they're not

used to at this point. So I mean to just go into uh MetLife yesterday and put up just three points against his Jets defense. The Jets defense is playing better, But you're right, Greg, we probably should have seen this one coming. The Jets really good at stopping the run. They took Josh Jacobs out of this game, They forced Derek Carr to try and make plays down the field. A ton of drops for their wide receivers yesterday and for Jalen Richard, and the Jets just ultimately demolished him. Man.

Sam Donald looked really, really good. Sam Donald is someone that you can legitimately start the next two weeks facing off against the Bengals and against the Dolphins, and he is going to get people into the fantasy playoffs and potentially win that that first round Fantasy Football playoff matchup as well. Sure, absolutely, he is certainly somebody that you can start and confidence. I think, um, Robby Anderson touch, Jameson Crowder, Robby Anderson, big winner man touchdown, the back

to back games. Prowd is an f for me. I know he hurt me yesterday, but it wasn't his game type of thing, right, Like, he still was tarted four times. It's like can tie for the third most on the team behind Robbie Anderson and Levy on Bell get an end zone target didn't work out for him. I'm so confident in Jamison Crowder. Yeah, especially the way that this offense is playing right now, the way Donald was playing. I like Ryan Griffin, you expected maybe a bigger game,

but he ends up scoring a touchdown. He was so open on that touchdown, Greg, he didn't know what to do. They just threw him a screen pass. Nobody even near just like looking over the Oakland Raiders even doing on that play or in this entire game. Uh, you can ask yourself that question. But Robbie Anderson great again yesterday five targets, four for eighty six and a touchdown. We just saw James Washington have a really long touchdown against

the Bengals. Greg, Who's to say that Robbie Anderson can't do that again next week? Why not? Why not? Exactly? Why not? Okay? Um? Moving on to the high scoring games in the NFC South. Yesterday, the New Orleans Stags defeat of the Carolina Panthers back and forth contest. Kyle Allen man much better than he has been. As great as Kyle Allen was yesterday, Joey sly Greg was not great. Losers. Oh my good, this guy's a loser. Has he been cut yet? Today? I don't. Oh my god. He missed

extra points, he missed eight. It's in a dome tip in what was a twenty yard field goal to take the lead, and he misses it. After that, you knew that the New Orleans Saints were gonna win that game. Will Lutz, you know, has been one of the more clutch kickers in the NFL. Kyle Allen did play really well and you can watch the Fandel hurry up on the sports Grade YouTube page as well, where I talk about waiver wire pickups and if you need a streaming quarterback,

Kyle Allen going up against Washington next week. Greg. These weapons that Kyle Allen has they are really excelling his game. I understand over the past month that he was struggling throwing more interceptions, but to do this against the New Orleans Saints in a divisional game, This was really impressive by Kyle Allen. And the Washington secondary has given up a lot of big games so far this season. Just a couple of weeks ago, Sam Donald threw for four

touchdowns against them. So I think Kyle Allen, on the back of Ristian McCaffrey and d J. Moore, one of the biggest winners yesterday, finally got off the Julio Jones track and scored two touchdowns. D J. Moore was phenomenal. Greg. I can't say the same about Curtis Samuel, but based on the weapons that Kyle Allen has, I think that he's gonna be a pretty solid play next week against Washington. Yeah. Absolutely, absolutely, Um, I think he's Washington's a really solid play um in

that matchup. I lose works. I saw this tweet from Scott Barrett as well over the past twenty games for Christian McCaffrey. Pull this up for you, just so just why I get it done done correctly. I gotta do this this tweets some justice okay. Over the last twenty full games for Christian McCaffrey, he has three games with forty plus fantasy points, ten games with thirty plus fantasy points,

and nineteen games with seventeen plus fantasy points. Over the past twenty games, Greg, there has only been one game that he has had less than seventeen fantasy points. There's your first overall pick next year. That is your first overall pick. It's really hard to argue against that, because on the other side, you would Alvin Kamara, who you know finished in great nine cashes forty eight yards on

the ground, had another fifty four yards. There's Lettavia's Murray early and often for the Saints twenty six yard touchdown run. I was hugging Alex in the control room when that happened. Um could have been in our line up, Craig. I brought him up to you. I brought him up to you in the morning, I said, you did, can we started with TV's Murray? No, you did, and I said no, I'm surprised, but let's start Starling Shepherd. I love the

New York Giants. Didn't work, Greg, Frankly, one, I think the biggest issue for Alvin Kamar right now, Greg, is that the touchdown regression over the past two seasons is finally hitting him. He has scored in one game this year. Greg, My god, how crazy is that? He scored two touchdowns against the Seattle Seahawks back in Week three. Alvin Kamara has not scored another touchdown the rest of the season. So I think people see the performance yesterday from Otavius Murray.

He scores, but look, the receiving production for Alvin Kamara has still been phenomenal. The guy has at least nine targets in three straight games. He has at least eight receptions in three straight games. His pass game usage from a PPR perspective is great, and he should have scored a touchdown yesterday. I believe it was called out called back. The same thing happened the week before. He has been scoring touchdowns, but they've been getting called back. So it's

been some bad look for Alvin Kamara. If anyone in your league is freaking out about him, or from a dynasty keeper perspective, do not freak out. Everything is gonna be fine for Alvin Kamara. Uh. I'm not worried, Greg. The pass game used is still phenomenal for him. Cook three, he's very healthy and he's been on the body. He's been great, Yeah, he has. He's he's used in the red zone. He's a big body. You know, defense are trying to take away Michael Thomas doesn't work. Look at

his Twitter handle. You can't guard Mike. That is a factual statement. Jared Cooked, though. I mean when teams do try and double team Michael Thomas, it leads to more opportunities for Jared Cook. He has scored a touchdown and four of his last five games. Greg In the one game he didn't score a touchdown, he had ten targets. He had seventy four receiving yards. Jared Cook is a must start tight end right now. The Atlanta Falcons yesterday they fell thirty two. Matt Ryan through the ball forty

six times, didn't have a touchdown. He had over a hundred years passing in the first quarter when out to seventy one uh Quadrean Allison was the one that got a touchdown plunge. It really was awesome. Who two of the biggest fab running backs spent this year, Ty Johnson and Brian How has that worked out? Not great. Greg. You know, we just woked about We just spoke about Jared Cook, Greg and on the network here collectively. One person in particular used to call Jared Cook bigfoot. The

Atlanta Falcons are now the big foot team. That's what they are. When you expect them to show up most they don't. That's ultimately who they are at this point against the Tampa Bay Bucks. Secondary. Look, Calvin Ridley was great. He was awesome. Fourteen targets, eighty five yards and a touchdown. Of course, it took a second fourth down touchdown throw from Matt chob to get in the end zone for him, but you love the fourteen targets. Obviously, Julio Jones banged up,

doesn't show up against the Tampa Bay Bucks. Brutal game. Brian Hill I thought could bounce back in the spot. Nope, quadre Allison, Matt Ryan, Greg twenty three of forty six fifty percent completion percentage against the Tampa Bay Bucks. You and I could do better than that, Greig, zero touchdowns, one interception. If you started Matt Ryan yesterday, you probably lost. He is the biggest loser and all of his owners

who started him breaking evans go Greg like tonight. I hope I want to be the next Daily Fantasy Millionaire.

While Ryan Tannehill has been very good for fantasy football purposes, this is a running football team. Greg they want to play defense, they want to run the football. That's exactly what they do. So I think next year he's probably a second round pick, maybe a borderline first round, but I feel like he should be that second round pick. Once again, nobody wants

right here. You're gonna look a Derrick Henna. Take Derrick Henry. But here's the thing. Next. Everyone's gonna say, but regression, touchdown. Regression. There's no way he could score this mini touchdown. Here's the thing. So last year when Derrick Henry broke out finally the second half of the year, he wanted up finishing with one thou fifty nine yards and twelve touchdowns. He will break over that one thousand, fifty nine mark

next week in Week thirteen. The touchdowns twelve last year, he'll probably finish with a round let's say ten this year. What what? What's the regression? He did the same thing last year that he's doing this year. He's in the prime of his career on a team that only runs the football. There's nothing wrong with Derrick Henry. It's a guy that you can feel confident in find. If it's not sexy, fine, if you know there's going to be some admittedly done in during the schedule, we can said

of anybody. Hell, DeVante Adams didn't have a touchdown until this week. As you just kindly noted, Acney Man, what are you here? Yeah, it's been a great season. Again, he loves playing against the Jacksonville Jaguars. But you're right, I'm not saying that I'm gonna be one of those people who's a screaming out, you know, regression, and you can't target Terrick Henry because he doesn't catch passes. Greg in full PPR leagues, he is still the RB seven overall.

Here's the thing that there's top ten running back. Here's the thing, and he doesn't catch passes. There's only been three games all season three where he didn't score a touchdown. Three in one of those games he rents twenties seven times for a hundred yards. Okay, that's cool. Let's move on two duds to legit does this year? You know what, no one legit dog this year, because I'll make it too. He lost the fumble one two legit legit duds sixteen for seventy five against the Bucks and then the real

bad one fifteen twenty eight against the Broncos. And I get it. There's no supplementing it because not catching any passes. So what you see is what you get. So that's twenty seven for one. It's exactly ten points, right like there's nothing alright, had an eight yeard cash fine, so it's eleven points. There is no supplementary value there. But if your floor for the most part is ten points, okay, we'll take it. You want it as your RV two.

I understand that hesitation. I understand the trepidation is good, man, He's he's a good running back. He's ridiculous, six ft three, two hundred and fifty pounds. The guy is still just twenty five years old. He has the pedigree greg he was a great player in college as well, and the explosiveness you know as a player that big. He's built like a linebacker, but he moves like a running back,

which is crazy. You don't normally see that type of combination of skill set in one player, specifically a running back. So I'm with you, man, it's hard to argue against him at this point.
