Week 14 ULTIMATE PREVIEW PART 2,

Forever Show. Start listening to us or suffer the consequences. Do do? Didn? Yeah? Welcome your host by Bay from Norlan s your co host by gy Sa, Prank staffall br co host and five eleven from a Why ladies and tentlemen your with that? We welcome you inside of Studio thirty four. This is the BFF. He's Frank Stafle,

Here's Eric Young, I am Greg Susmen. Welcome the day before Week four teen, the edition the quarter final edition of the b F. What's happen It Frank, Happy Friday to your bud kicked off Week four team last night. The fan st Football playoffs are here. Unfortunately for the Cowboys they may they may not be in the playoffs here they very well maybe Frank let me in first place after this week. I hope you're right, because I got I got the ticket you got to take. You're right,

We'll see what happens. Eric Young, how are you, my friend? I'm doing well, boys, I'm doing well. A great night here in Nashville. Was out at a pred's charity event, even though Greg Sussman didn't believe me when I told him. Um watched a little bit of the highlights today. Interesting game Dallas is uh in full uh implosion mode. Pretty wild. It's funny because Frank, as promised, I texted you. I was like, hey, like what happened in the n x T League And He's like at a charity event. I

was like, oh my god, I'll tell you. I'll tell you tomorrow. I'm like, these crazy mofos fought at a charity event like they're gonna get fired. And then when I texted you are today tell me the story? I was like, wait a minute, he's at a charity event, because why he won't He's not able to like text right now, and he's like, you're an idiot. He didn't say that. That's when he I kind of wish that

he did say that because that would be hilarious. But yeah, sometimes you know, things are lost in translation when it comes to texting. Very hard to read sarcasm, very hard to just pick up on, just random things when it comes to texting. So, bad job by you, Greg, not a great job by me. Sorry, but not a great job by me. But now I'm gonna turn it to

you and hopefully get a great job by you. Because we have talked about it all week long in this show, Frank has answered this question four different ways one, two, three, four probably not true, close to it, four different ways. So now I turned my attention to you all and e y as well, and who answered it as well? I got one flex spot left, guys, and I need help. Who to start? Do I start my man ball leave?

Where do I go with Alexander Madison? I'm not gonna do out to say why in a moment, Patrick Laird or Emmanuel Sanders. I am all four of those guys as somebody I can flex. I don't know which one to start. We have the poll up on the Fantasy BFF Twitter right now, and the leading vote getter Greg's actually a tie seen Emmanuel Sanders and Alexander Madison So as I said, I'm not going to start Alexander Madison because as we found out, they there wind is blowing

or something out there. We're not gonna start Alexander Madison because Dalvin Cook was left off the injury report for this weekend, which means he is not expected to be limited. He's gonna be full bore. He's gonna go and do his thing. And even though I want all of the carries in that Minnesota backfield, no doubt, if Dalvit Cook is not even be limited, he's not questionable, not probably, not doubt, no, none of that. He's that's just off

the injury report. He's gonna play. There's normal workload and lead by human mictory. I hope, Greg. We now have a new leader in the poll. And you have to listen to the poll because if you are a man of the people, we are the show of the people. We are all of that. That is true. So you have to do what the poll says. Thirty three percent say you have to start Alexander medicine. Sorry, buddy, I'm not gonna do that. Come on, I'm not gonna do that.

We'll see says that. We'll see on today's show. There were a lot of the games yesterday, which was great. We spent a lot of time breaking down the games. Today, we'll do all the games that we missed. It would be great. Um, you can go all that kind of like the leftovers, right because we haven't done in half the games like leftovers. Get it? Sure, you go ahead and play and play the sound white if you want to prepare, daddy, that's fair. I can't do that. Well,

we've got we got time throughout the break. Didn't get your fill from the waiver wire. The BFFs has your leftovers? Watch this, never mind, give me a whole lot of it. We had a whole slate, all the leftovers, a whole plate boom leftovers to get to. So let's begin with arguably the game of the weekend, the New England Patriots hosting the Kansas City Chiefs. Everymatch of the a f C Championship game from a year ago. That one was

in Kansas City, this one is in New England. E y, My question to you, which running me you can only start one from each team? Which running back do you want to start from the Chiefs? And which running back do you want to start from? The camp from the New England Patriots. Judging by last week, and it's gonna be James White. Um, but I'm staying strong on this, just like I've been all year. The Patriots running back

it's a mess. Every year. Everyone wanted to tell me in the offseason that Sony Michelle was the unequivocal number one running back, was going to carry the ball, was going to score a pilot touchdowns. Well that hasn't happened because that's not what the Patriots do. Um. James White had a hell of a game. Seemed like there were times when he was the only guy on the field, the only guy that Brady could see. Last week. Um,

so that that would be my my vote. Uh. But I mean it's a dart pro just like it's always been. And I'm gonna go with McCoy. I think he's going to be the starter. But I do have a sneaky suspicion about Darwin Thompson. Frank, the same question to you, my friend. Actually have Darwin Thompson rank the highest of the Chiefs running backs so far? Damian Williams did not

practice again yesterday. I haven't seen the Chiefs practice for yet for the for today, but I would be very surprised if Damian Williams is good to go in Week four teen. Darryl Williams has already been ruled out, so I will take Darwin Thompson as well as Shawn McCoy. Has been inactive over the past month or so. He has seen a limited workload and perhaps they've been saving him for a game like this, But personally, I feel like Darwin Thompson is in play for double digit touches

here in this game against the New England Patriots. And then on the other side, I think James White is what he has been all season long. Greg he is a flex. He had a bunch of work last week. They were trailing for a lot of last week. I'm not sure that that's going to be the case. I have Sony Michelle rank the highest of the Patriots running backs. This week. You can run on the Kansas City Chiefs, and I think that they will try to do just that.

Remember the playoffs Crade that was That was a game where Sony Michelle scoreda I believe it was three touchdowns. That Chiefs a lot of Sony Michelle, a lot of going all more into this game on the other side of this daily Rhado dot com.

Get all the grid. Well, well, well, welcome back to the Fantasy best Friends Forever live on the Sports Great TV Network. Greg Sussman scooting his way back to his side of the table. You stay over there, Greig, Yes, sir,

let's go. Let's go. We're talking about the Chiefs and the Patriots. Before we hit the break, we did the running, Max, Frankie, do anything else you want to mention, specifically when it comes to the wide receivers. I know you're all mohamedsan New for a while, he hasn't really done anything. The same with Philip Dorsett, my man Ben Watson's being useless. It's been all Julian Adam and the only guy that

you can trust in that New England offense. Yeah, I would say the only three players that I really want to trust in this spot is Julian Edelman, Sony Michelle as a loan RB two, and James White as a flex option. Uh. Tom Brady, if you're playing super flex leagues,

I think he's a He's an okay QB two. I want to like the Chiefs in the spot, Greg, but this just seems like a normal, like the best get right spot possible for the Newlight Patriots where they've lost two games in a row, tough games against the Ravens and the Houston Texans. They come back home, it's the Patriots at home in December. Belichick is he's gonna figure something out for this game. So I want to like the Chiefs from a betting perspective, I can't do that.

And when it comes to Patrick Mahomes and the Chief's offense, Patrick Mahomes hasn't necessarily been great. You have throwing just one touchdown in back to back games. One of those games was in Mexico, then the other one was a blowout against the Oakland Raiders. So he didn't really need to throw the ball all that much, but he has thrown only one touchdown or less in four of the last six games. With that being said, you shouldn't have

bench Deshaun Watson last week. You're not gonna bench Patrick Mahomes this week? This week? Uh no, OK, maybe I should rank a little bit closer though. Just want to know and don't overthink things too. Like there's someone in the chat, for example, asking us if they should be benching Tyreek Hill for Zach Pascal. Like, yeah, I like Zack Pascal, but Tyreek Hill. We saw it last year against the New England Patriots. I mean he can win

you a week on one play. I mean the guy can have a seventy five yard touchdown at any given time. So yes, it's a tough matchup, but that type of upside from Tyreek Hill, I personally can't get away from it. Alrighty the Tyree Tyreek Hill, Haroin, Patrick Mahomes, Parrot, Travis Kelsey, all guys that we can start here. Uh this week? When comes to running Max, well, it's a little bit more if he's certainly on the Chiefs side and the Patriots side. As we started breaking down this game. Let

me move on, Frank. We mentioned the Chief's obviously in the a f C West, the Denver Broncos also in the a f C West. Denver matches up uh this week against the afore mentioned Houston Texans and last week e Y Cortland Sutton. Didn't matter who is on it didn't matter who's throwing the ball. He is pretty to be a wide receiver one all season long. Is the a wide receiver one this week for you? Yeah? I mean he's been a wide wide receiver one pretty much

all year, even with poor quarterback play. Um. That was the call of mine in the off season. I said, Sutton is going to be the number one. They're drafted as many number ones as you can, and him and Lucke looked like they had a good connection right away. Sutton is going to be a number one wide receiver for many years. I believe in the NFL I have Sutton as a high end wide receiver to this week, Greg, but it's just semantics at that point. I think if

you own Courtland Sutton, you're using him. Obviously the Texans, this was a team that we were actually targeting past catchers against him. They've been much better against wide receivers over the past month, allowing the third fewest Fantasy points to wide receivers during that span. It's not enough to scare me off of Courtland Sutton. He had a great

game last week. He had the two touchdowns. I want to see more than five targets personally, but he's one of these guys where, uh, it doesn't matter what the matchup is. I mean, Courtland Sutton is that good. He did it against Casey Hayward last week. I'm pretty sure he can do it against anybody. Frankly, here, Greg Royce Freeman banged up for the Denver Broncos, but looks like he is still going to play. And over the past three weeks, Philip Lindsay fifty percent of the Snapps Royce

Freeman of the Snaps. Lindsay is getting a lot more work, a lot more carries, and um, the Houston Texans are allowing four point five yards carried to running backs this year and the most receptions. So I think Philip Lindsay, while you know he hasn't been great recently, he's still seeing a solid workload and I think you should continue to trust him as an RB two. Greg have you noticed that there was a Jeff can you take me? Hi man? Yeah, it was awesome. It's crazy. It was pumped.

I was pumped. It was great. It was Drew Lock honestly been practicing with Jeff Hireman for a while and then you got the ball. He saw that last night with Chicago. By the way, um, I foret the guy's name. Now he got all these passes there stream tight end o j p Holtz that guy, Yeah, yeah he did. He didn't do that at the factual statement, Gregg, he caught passes last night. By the way, speaking of as you started last night, I don't want to get you much into this because I have a lot to do.

Anthony Miller, oh man, anybody that you started in that game last night, for the most part paid off. Yeah, I mean I would have wanted more than David Montgomery. You can't get greedy. But you know, losing the fumble that obviously ended up affecting fantasy totally. Didn't have any targets or receptions, so that sucked. But twenty carries for eighty six yards. Pretty good game. Zeke was great. Amari

Cooper ended up coming through. As tell people yesterday, you know, little iffy, and going into the fourth quarter, I texted Frank and like the third quarter, man, you now this one great job, And he's just like, yeah, you know, he hit some, but I'm still winning at Jason Witten and Cooper's coursing touchdowns dropped into his bread basket. That's tunk um Mecha. Gal showed up. Alan Robinson was great, Anthony Millers got a touchdown, was amazing. All the Fantasy

relevant players were very good. It's really interesting because the one major change and they highlighted on the broadcast last night that they've changed with true Whisky used his legs war and ever since he's done that, it's been totally different offense. Yeah, he entered last night with eighty rushing yards total on the season. He had sixty three rushing

yards last night alone with a rushing one. Why they stopped, I think he was scared because of the shoulder injury that happened on a scramble play where he was, you know, trying to pick up some yards with his legs and he ends up trying to reach out and hurt his shoulders. So I think whenever you see an injury like that happened, it's always like in the back of your mind until I guess now he's healthy and feels all right running again.

But yeah, I mean, if he's gonna start to run like this, he's back in that you know, super flex quarterback territory. We'll find out Mr Bisky, who the real one is into the coming weeks and we go over the Houston side of things in this game, Frank, you mentioned to me you wanted to start will Fuller over D. D. Westbrook. So I throw that over to Eric Young. Would you rather start this week? E Y will Fuller or D. D. Westbrook? Who geez, that's a tough one, um, with the quarterback

situation in Jacksonville. I mean, I think Shark is the only one that you can really really trust. D D. Westbrook was a guy that we all thought was going to have maybe career year with reception and stuff that we saw that preseason game with him and falls. I can't remember how he catches he had you double digit catches, I believe it was. But I think, uh, in this situation, Um, if you need the points, I go Fuller. If you need a more steady option, you go Westbrook. But I mean,

in my case, I would probably start Fuller this week. Yeah, I think it is a close call here, Greg that we have to make in the pit league, deciding between d D and Will Fuller as one of our flex options. H d D did catch it touchdown last week with with Gardner Mitchew back in the game there and he caught a two point conversion from him as well. But the Denver Broncos secondary has actually been letting up some fantasy points recently. They have allowed four touchdowns to wide

receivers over their last three games. They have allowed to one yard receivers during that span as well. So I don't think that you should be worried about Hopkins obviously, but I think that there's a chance that assuming he's healthy, it's all that Fuller was, you know, limited again all week with a hamstring. Assuming he's healthy and good to go, I think this could be one of those better games for Fuller, and he should have had a touchdown last week,

you just ended up dropping it. I think if you're playing a PPR league as well, Duke Johnson is a sneaky lower and flex. They talked about that on the broadcast last week while they were playing the Patriots. How the Texans wanted to use Duke Moore as a pass catcher. That's exactly what he did. He had six targets and a receiving touchdown last week. And it is easier to throw to the running backs than it is to run against this Denver Broncos defense. Let me go with D

D Westbrooks game. DDU westbrook and the Jacksonville Jaguars are at home this week. Taking on the chart of four and eight verse four and AIGs, not one. Not what I'm interested in except for fantasy purposes. Eu I mentioned the only guy he really trusted that wide receiving corps is DJ Shark. With Gardner Minshew starting, I think that's fair. Thank Leonard four Netts. Obviously you're rolling with him on the other side. Can you start, Frank? Can you go

with big Mike Williams this week? Um? Where's Austin Eckler and your ranking? I think those are the two biggest questions, because you know what you you know when you're gonna start Melvin Gore and you know you're gonna start Keenan Allen. So where do you have both Mike Williams and Austin Ekeler rank this week? Yeah? So I have Mike Williams coming off his one yard game as my wide receiver

forty three. He's right in this mix with a bunch of other options that I kind of like but don't love, with Cole Beasley, d D. Westbrooks in this mix, James Washington really good matchup against the Cardinals, Emmanuel Sanders, your boy, Greg uh and then Hollywood Brown and Terry McLaurin. So this is, you know, the wide receiver for flex territory. That's where I have Mike Williams for this week. And then when it comes to the Chargers running backs, I mean,

how can you not like them? The Jaguars have just been shredded by running backs all season long, and they have a lot of really really big games. So I have Melvin Gordon as my RB eight and I have Austin Ekelers my RB twenty one, so he is a low n RB two in this matchup. We'll get you watch thoughts on those players when we come back. We'll continue going through all the games from Sunday, So stick around. A lot more coming your way. That's ey E's Frank,

Eric Young's thoughts of both Austin Ekeler and Mike Williams. You why what do you think of these guys? Mike Williams showed up last week finally, Um, maybe one of my worst calls of the offseason. I mean, just terrible. I had him way way up my board.

I have him on a lot of my teams. Um, so last year was last week was was a bit of a catch your breath and and not look so dumb. But uh, I just don't know. He has been very inconsistent, so I would probably put him right over Frank Is saying in your wide receiver three flex spot maybe, Um, but Eckler, I like he's been good. Gordon is the starter, but Eckler is gonna get his carries. And then Jacksonville hasn't been able to stop running backs all year, So

I'm starting Eckler for sure. Greg. I don't know why they don't just throw those you know, basically jump balls to Mike Williams more often. Right, it seems like whenever they throw them to him, he does come down with that play. So I don't know if it's you know, Philip Rivers not having the arm strength to do so

or the confidence to do so in Mike Williams. But for whatever reason, I mean, this offense should really just be Mike Williams, Keen Now and Hunter Henry in the passing attack and a little bit of Austin Ekeler and then obviously with Melvin Gordon and Ekeler as the running backs. But the target chair has just been so inconsistent for Mike Williams. And how about this, Greig. It's week fourteen. He still does not have a touchdown. It's been a

long time. We knew that touchdown regression was gonna hit after he had ten touchdowns last year based on his targets share, But I mean, god, this has gone so far the other way. It's been really bad honestly for Mike Williams all season long, for those drafted on him and just waiting with a positive reggression to come, don't. I'm so sorry you asked me, Frank during the break,

which these quarterbacks away I start. So let's get into quarterback we haven't spoken about yet, and that east Jameis Winston. Winston is at home this week facing all against Indianapolis Colts. I leave Marlon mack is back for Indianapolis. Yes, Matt Martin mcmaman on the injury. I'd expected to be on a pitch count. Either he'll be ready in a rock, which means you've got to get him back in your line up. T Y Hillen, we don't know if he'll

play a in the season. And Frank, you were telling me yesterday you were talking about Paris Campbell, and my buddy reached out to me Earliday he thinks Paris Campbell could be a league winner. Why are people so high on Paris Campbell going in two week fourteen? Well, there was a lot of hype around Paris Campbell in the NFL draft. I mean, this is a slot receiver who was explosive after the catch, and you know the Colts were really hyping him up throughout sprint, throughout the training camp,

throughout preseason as well. And they need pass catchers on this team, right like they have to throw the ball to someone outside of Jack Doyle and Zach Pascal. I don't know that t Y Hilton is going to play again, but we have, you know, been very fond of slot receivers the past couple of years for fantasy football. Greg and I think that there's an opportunity here for Paris Campbell.

The schedule upcoming for the Colts is a very good one. Obviously, facing the Bucks this week would just allow a ton of fantasy production to wide receivers, so that would actually be part of the leftover waiver wire segment that we normally do. But if you have a dead roster spot on the end of your bench, Paris Campbell is someone that I would look into adding right now what we're talking about the past game here. I like Zack pascually. He's inside my top thirty six. He's a wide receiver

three going up against the Bucks. He just had ten targets last week over a hundred yards. The Bucks allow the most fantasy points, the most receptions, and most targets to wide receivers so far this season. Love Love Love Jack Doyle as well. Uh, the Bucks allow the third most fantasy points two tight ends, and we know Jack Doyle's targets share is going to be there. I don't know that Marlon Mack is definitely a start his first game back here. I think that he is on a

pitch account. He's not matchup. It is a tough match matter. I think he's more of a higher end RB three flex RB two, I'd rather use Austin Ekeler and a match up against the Time. That's fine, that low RB two territory. If I had Marlon Mack, I'm certainly starting over all my schmucks. Yeah, that's fine. But so I have Marlon Mack RB twenty eight for example, just ahead of him, I have James White, Benny snell Sony Michelle. I don't think any of that is egregious, Okay, I egregious? Yeah,

that's fine. Um, I was gonna say, so, where did you have pass? Where do you have Zach Pascal ranked this week? And where do you have Paris Campbell rank this week? I'm not gonna put Paris Campbell right back into my lineup right away. I kind of want to see what he does this week and how much he plays, what his snaps look like. But I do have Zack Pascal at wide receiver threty three, just ahead of Will Fuller,

Marvin Jones, and Curtis Samuel. Okay, e y, Zack Pascill certainly startable without t Y Hilen, I'm not doing the Paris Campbell thing until I see him back. As you said, even in a great match up against Tampa Bay. What do you think of this wide receiving corps for Indianapolis? And Pascal's look good? I mean and and for me, I mean that's uh he's a mustar. Tampa Bay hasn't been able to stop any wide receiver. Um, Pascal is the number one there right now? Why Hilton is out?

B set has played really well. I'm certain Pascal all day long. And I do have a sneaky feeling about Paris Campbell. I mean, that's somebody that they really liked. He was drafted pretty high, a guy that in the offseason I remember reading stuff about him being the one that will eventually replace t Y Hilton. Uh So, I mean it could be a super sneaky play this week, super sneaky play if you are desperate, UM at that spot. Let me go to the other side here with the

Tampa Bay buccaneer. If he talked about it, I don't know, it's off the air on there yesterday, right, But how good Chris Godwin and Mike Evans v been of all top three wide receivers this season. Last pair to do that work West Welker and Randy Moss back and oh come, I'm man. He tweeted that out as well. If you missed that stat you got those for Tampa Bay. But that's not the question, right. The question is what you do at the running back position where Rojo has not

been freed. Peyton Barber was back, and they just roll with whoever arians feels like rolling with. It doesn't really seem to be logic. Um Rojo missing Bliss pick up and that was for him. This past Sunday, Peyton Barber got in the mix, scored a couple of touchdowns. Do you feel safe or comfortable starting either of them? No? I do not feel comfortable starting either one of those running backs. It wouldn't surprise me if Ronald Jones gets

back in the mix this week. Peyton Barber for me, more of a lower n RB three, more RB four, probably more so if you do start two flexes, He's more in that realm as a second flex. But you know, you can run against the Colts here twenty one and run defense DV away. But again, I just don't feel great about who's going to see the workload for the bucksh Someone was asking us about Jameis Winston earlier. I like Winston. He is my QB eight on the week. Here.

You know, for all the turnovers that he has, the fumbles, the interceptions, he has seventeen or more Fantasy points in nine of his last ten games. UH Indianapolis has allowed exactly two touchdown passes in three straight games. So I think that there is a safe floor for Winston there this week. And Greg, you highlighted Mike Evans and Chris

Godwin how great they've been. They've just been inconsistent. Yes, it's you have the big upside for Godwin and Evans, but you also have a big downside for both of these guys. You're not not going to start them, but you do have to realize there is a lot of volatility when it comes to these two wide receivers. Well, there's nothing you can do with that, right you have to start them because they can easily win you the week. Obviously. The only thing that I do wonder is one, is

it great? Prettydict who would go off when? And then we'retining what we do about it next year, right like, because I don't want it too far down because it is a Friday. But these two guys they finished the top three is or close to it. They both be draft. There's number one wide receivers next year in fantasy football, Should they be? I think that they should. I mean

a lot will depend on who the quarterback is. I don't know if it's going to be Winston again heading into next year, but if if it is Winston, I mean, this is someone who just likes to wing the ball around. I mean he's a lot like Ryan Fitzpatrick, where he just throws the ball with reckless abandon and a lot of times he's throwing the ball down the field and

those are gonna go to Mike Evans. And you know, they've schemed ways for Chris Godwin to get open playing the slot more this year, and that's a very valuable spot to be in in this offense. So I think that they should both be wide receiver ones asked for this week, I referenced this chart from Graham Barfield yesterday. Over the last eight weeks, you could see where the Colts are allowing more fantasy points, whether it's outside wide

receivers or slot receivers. And over the past eight weeks they are twenty six against out outside wide receivers and they are fifth best against lot receivers. So this should be a better game for Mike Evans. I hit the best game in the a f C. Let me hit the best game in the NFC. San Francisco four Niners in New Orleans take on the Saints. It's the game we've certainly had to market on our calendars for quite

a while. San Francisco looked good against Baltimore. I'll have to be just as good, if not, bet we'll have to be better. Actually lost to Baltimore. We'll have to be better in New Orleans here on Sunday. So let me you know how great San Francisco's defense is, right, So, knowing that fact, e y, I gotta throw this to you. Are you hesitant to start anybody on New Orleans outside of Michael Thomas and almacamara? That includes Drew Brees? If you have a better option eric at the quarterback spot,

do you start them over Drew Brees? Yeah? I mean Drew Brees is like in a lot of UM quarterbacks this week, it seems is the kind of the pump bake position, like where you're like, do I start them? Do I not start them? Do I start someone off the waiver wire that has a better matchup? Um? This is something that I think a lot of people me and would have been doing this year, and that's juggling streaming quarterbacks. That's definitely been a thing, um that's been very,

very prominent in fantasy football in the last couple of years. Uh. It's a thing I experimented on a couple of my teams this year, is picking a quarterback super super late and then just trying to coddle together with matchups or stuff like that. Drew Brees could fall into that category this week because of how good the San Francisco defense has been. Um, I do believe that New Orleans is going to play angry. And it's hard for me to go against Drew Brees. He has been such a good

and such a productive quarterback for so long. But if there's someone sneaky, maybe a Ryan Tannehill against Oakland, Uh, someone like that, I mean, you maybe start him over him. I don't even think it's gonna be sneaky, man, I don't want to. I have Breese QB eighteen. I'm right there with you, Greg. I have Jacoby Brisset ahead of it, absolutely, have Ryan Fitzpatrick ahead. Absolutely Baker may feel absolutely Arnold Ryan Tannehill I am worried about Drew Brees as well.

And do you have you know who met Ryan? Huh yeah, just barely. Yeah. But it is a tough spot here for Drew Brees. And that doesn't mean, you know, you don't use Michael Thomas. I like Jared Cook quite a bit because of his usage. He has at least seven four yards or a touchdown in four stree games. Like just because Drew Brees, we expect to have a tougher

game here. You know, even if he throws you know, to fifty and two or you know, to fifty and one, you know, that can be a hundred yards to Michael Thomas, that can be sixty seventy yards to Jared Cook, and you know, fifty to sixty yards for Alvin Kamara. These guys could still get there's even in a tougher matchup

against the San Francisco forty niners. So I'm not going away from Thomas Kamara or Jared Cook, but I think that this is a tougher spot for Drew Brees since he's returned from injury greg a lot like Matt Ryan. He is QB sixteen and Fantasy points per game. So not really showing massive upside. Not exactly. We're on looking like I said Drew Brees, Davis Murray as well, not in my lad of this week against San Francisco, but

the forty niners and we have thirty seconds left. Why I want you to simmer on this and we get back to the break. You know, I asked you yesterday, had some time he most Alfrida, Heaven Coleman. They're all startable. Maybe this week you have to start one. Which one would you start? Think about that? Way on it, Let it simmer and answer it when we come back. You're on the b FS. Are you ready for the nation's first and only, free, twenty four hour network dedicated to

you the betting and fantasy sports enthusiast. Sports Grade will provide you with a real time content, statistics and gaming intelligence unlike anything you've ever seen before. Located both in the heart of New York City and inside the FanDuel Sports Book at the meadow Lands, Sports Grade is live eighteen hours a day, here to serve you the fanatic.

This is Sports Grade. Get on the grid right. You've had your time to thing about it, so now let's see if you have an answer the question of course, which if any San Francisco running back do you want to start this week? Eric Matt Brina where he most Keevin Coleman all expects it to be active on Sunday. Very similar situation to the New England Patriots. Uh, it's a great situation for a running back. Uh. Kyle Shanahan has always been the guy that kind of running back

guru um gurus. Running backs are always productive in this offense. Uh. So me, I'm just gonna go with Tevin Coleman. He's the starter. I believe that he'll have the most carries. I know Mostard had more last year and or last week and went off and had some massive game. But I believe you just got to follow the money and follow who is in the starting position, and I believe that's Tevin Coleman. All right, Greg, Here's where I have the San Francisco forty Niners running backs ranked this week.

Matt Brita RBT eight, he most Art RB forty, Kevin Coleman RB forty two. Played opposite of what I said, but not just complete the opposite. They're all mixed together. Yeah, I'm like hedging my bed, Like, how do you rank these guys this week. Nobody knows who they're going to use. I want to like Matt Breed of the most because you know he he's been on ice for a while. It seemed like he was ready to go last week.

They're specifically saving him for this game. They said they wanted him to be for this game against the New Orleans Saints, and I think that you know, while Raheem Mostart is very explosive, I think Matt Breeda is the most explosive of all three of these running backs. But

the wise exactly right. This is a profitable position for fantasy Kyle Shanahan running back specifically in the San franc offense behind that offensive line, But as of now, we don't know who it's going to be, and we likely won't know until you know the for the second quarter of this game, it's gonna be a hoth hand approach. I'm sure that you know all three of these guys are gonna get carried early on in this game, and it's whoever is performing the best early in this game

is going to be relied on the most. Your guess is as good as mine. I know that that's not what people want to hear. Greg but it's a tough situation to figure out. I think Matt Breed is the US explosive of the three. I'll take him, let's say Breeding as well. You said to me yesterday or in this morning, Frank that Emmanuel Sanders in a good spot because he can just see that at the slot. That mean Deebo Samuel is not in a good spot potentially

facing off against Marshawn Latimore. I don't want to bet against Diebo Samuel because he's been awesome in the past couple of weeks, and he's been doing it without seeing massive targets either. You know, last week you just saw four targets and had that catch basically on top of Marcus Peters where he lost him. So giving us a little bit of a reminder here that he's not just a yak wide receiver. He can actually make plays down

the field. But but Marshall Lattimore returned last week on Thanksgiving, he has more time to get ready for this game. Dievo Samuel plays mostly on the outside. I believe that he is going to see Marshall Latimore a lot in this matchup. So if you can get away from Lattimore, I have him outside of my top thirty six. That's something that I would look into doing. I want to like Emmanuel Sanders, greg, but we don't really know how healthy he is. He hasn't seen a lot of targets

the past couple of weeks. But the way to attack New Orleans is through the slot. So I think of all of the wide receivers on the San Francisco side, I think that Emmanuel Sanders has the best matchup here. Well, I agree, the best matchup, but like you said, we haven't seen him healthy. We haven't. The usage hasn't been great, we haven't seen him dominated by any means. I can't do it either, Frank, I'm not. It's a risky proposition. Sure, I don't. I just don't love it. All right, let

me move on to another game here. Let me get to let me in a Sunday night where it's Seattle and the Rams, because the question that I've gotten e y a lot, and I mentioned this way too much this week about Dalmond Cook and Alexander Madison. But I'll follost to you. Can you start with Shot Penny and Chris Carson this week? Oh man, I don't. I don't think you can I don't feel like I would trust

Penny enough. Um. It's even hard when I'm even saying it, but yeah, I think Chris Carson, obviously you can trust. This is a team that wants to run the ball. He's going to start. But I don't feel like in a playoff situation like this, in a in a position where I need points and I know that a guy is going to get opportunity, I just don't know if it's going to be there for Penny. He's the backup. He's going to get less carries than Carson um, and it just everything has to fall right for him to

have a big day, right. We talked about this on Tuesday at The Night Football. It was basically between Chris Carson Rashan Penny. Carson came out as Penny scored a touchdown late on Monday night. Can you do it? I'm with you. I man, it's it's tough. I think that you can do it, but I don't really feel great

about it. I do have Chris Carson's in my RB four teen high end RB two based on the workload he has seen all season long, seeing right around twenty touches more than twenty touches per game on a weekly basis. This is a tough matchup against the Rams. They are very good against the run, and since they've got Jalen Ramsey, they've actually been good against the past too, you know, outside of that game against the Baltimore Ravens, because nobody

can stop the Baltimore Ravens. But I do have Shot Penny as a mid RB three as a flex option. Is my RB three be one? He saw fifteen carries last week. He actually saw more targets than Chris Carson. They both had four carries inside of the red zone. Both had two carries inside of the five yard line. Rashad Penny has carved out a roll. Now if the Seahawks fall behind Greg, they're gonna have to throw the ball more. They're gonna get more DK Metcalf and more

Tyler Lockett involved here. But ultimately they are fourth in the NFL in rushing percentage. They want to run the football. That is basically how this team is constructed right now, which is so sad because we are being robbed of seeing like prime Russell Wilson. If you get Russell Wilson, just the play calling that jamis Winston gets like that would just be insane from a fantasy perspective. But the long answer is, yes, you can do it. I don't know that I would want to. Penny is an RB three,

He is a flex option. I agree he's in that mix with all these guys we've been talking about this week. Have in my head of Bow, I have in my head of Darwin Thompson ahead of a layered ahead of Duke Johnson. I don't know that, Darwin to us in Man, Damian Williams officially ruled out for this Sunday. Obviously, darro wives on I r I was ranking this assuming the whole time that Damian Williams was out. I don't know, Man, I think I like so you would put would high. Yeah,

it's something that I'm going to wrestle with. Okay, on the other side, specifically with the Los Angeles Rams, we talked about Cooper Cup. All Right, you know he's Cooper Cup. It's fine. Robert was actually really really good over the past few weeks. Ever since he missed that one game, he's been really good since coming back. Randy Cooks we talked about earlier on Monday. He's not He's just not there. He's fallen by the wayside compared to Cooper Cup and

compared to Robert Woods. Any issue just mentioning him this week, Ey, No, just because of his former play. The reality is that he hasn't been getting it done for weeks and weeks and so bending him. I mean that wouldn't be a surprise to me. Um. It also wouldn't be a surprise to me that he has, you know, five catches for a hundred and fifteen yards in a touchdown. Uh. That this is who Brandon Cooks is. This is who he's been. Like, I understand last year there was a lot more volume.

Jared Goff was better the off I of line but was better. The running game was better. The Rams were a better team, especially offensively. They're struggling this year. Uh. And Cooks, I just believe Jared Goff is good in the time to throw the deep balls and that's that's Uh, that's Cook's game. Yeah. I can't fool around with Brandon Cooks in the fantasy playoffs. Greg, I agree that it wouldn't surprise me if Brandon Cooks gets back involved in

this game. I don't think that the Seattle Seahawks secondary is very good. I think that you can actually throw on them. I do like Cooper Cup and Robert Woods as wide receiver twos this week. They're both inside of my top twenty heading into Week four teen. It's actually a better matchup for Cup going up against these slot defenders in Seattle. So I do like him more than I like Robert Woods. But the volume has been there

for Robert Woods, and I love Greg. I love Tyler Higbee again this week, it doesn't look like Gerald Everett is going to play, and he is my tight end nine. He is a top ten tight end for me. Last time these two teams faced off, they combined for fifty nine points and Tyler Higbee and Arld Everett combined for nearly two hundred receiving yards against the Seahawks. The Seahawks allow a ton of fantasy production to opposing tight ends. Kyle Rudolph just had a touchdown last week against his team.

I think Tyler Higbee is in another prime prime spot here, Greg. Tyler Higbee certainly in a good body, more and more a part of the offense here for Los Angeles in recent weeks. Let me continue on, Frank, let me get try to hit a few more games, and that brings me to Arizona, where the Cardinals are hosting the Pittsburgh Steels. Did Schuster James Conner have once again been ruled out this week for Pittsburgh. I thought Hodges gets another start

against Arizona. I think one of the biggest questions we have, Frank, is can you start Vans McDonald for Pittsburgh. So I have Vance McDonald as my tight end twelve, So I think the answer is yes. He's a streaming tight end. And I know that there have been a few, a very select few tight ends that haven't shown up against the Cardinals. Tyler Eiffer comes to mind. There might have been somebody else as well, But look at what Tyler Higbee just did last week against this Cardinals defense. And

I think that, you know, they've acknowledged that. I've actually read a few articles this week about how they want to get Vance McDonald wing, and they know that this is a really good matchup for him. Hell oh, j Howard even went off against this Arizona Cardinals defense. So I think that you can stream Vance McDonald in this spot here, Greg, I think him and Mikeasecki are really the streaming tight ends that I'm looking at heading into

Week fourteen. I do like James Washington as well. He's developed a rapport with Doc Hodges and this Arizona Cardinal secondary is just absolutely brutal. I like Benny Snell as a high end flex option as well. And this pains me to say, Greg, I have Kyler Murray in a few leagues, I would try my hardest to get away from him. The two games that he has really really struggled this year, the Saints and last week against the Rams,

he struggles under pressure. The Pittsburgh Steelers have the average the most pressures per game in the NFL, and they are third in total sacks. I think Kyler Murray is in for a really really tough spot here. They're good, They're they're different. Is legitimately good um, and I think it's not a great spot. I totally agree with Kyler Murray is a good enough spot. You have a Kenyan Drake, though.

I feel like, I mean, with this offense, they're they're going to have short passes, They're they're going to try to move the ball. They're going going to have a ton of opportunity to move the ball in this defense because that's what this team wants to do. They want to run a ton of plays. Drake's the starter there, which is bizarre for me to say, even out loud. I have them in a few places and I'm likely to start him this week. But I am worried about

because the defense has been very, very good. Yeah, Kenyan Drake just played of the snaps. But you're right e why the Pittsburgh Scheelers allowing under four yards for carry to opposing running back so far this season, So it's it's a volume play versus a bad matchup, and you really you've got away that yourself. But I think that he is in the mix of a high in flex option. He's still seeing a lot of targets. The workload has been there. They fell behind last week. He still had

thirteen carries, but eight percent snapshare for Kenyan Drake. It's really hard to get away from that as a flex option. Alrighty, let me anything else on this game for you before you want um. You know is Washington. People are gonna have questions about Christian Kirk. I think he is a lower end wide receiver. Three people wanted to trust him last week against Jalen Ramsey and the Rams that did not work out. I don't know that it's gonna work

this this week either. Pittsburgh all around. Their defense is good, They're gonna get pressure. I think that's gonna force Kyler Murray to have to get the ball out quicker. That doesn't bode well for Christian Kirk, who has a higher average depth of target. He sees more targets further down the field. Greg, you mentioned during the break that Corey Davis is a sneaky start this week. Potentially you want

to go on record with that. Uh yeah, I told you during the break, Greg, so you didn't really have to bring it up on the broadcast. But we will talk about Corey Davis here. Because A J. Brown is dealing with a calf injury. I think A J. Brown should be good to go, but pay attention to this here if he can't. I like Ryan Tannehill because you can throw against the Oakland Raiders. Their defense does not

get pressure. Their secondary is very bad. If A J. Brown cannot go, Ryan Tannehill is gonna have to throw the ball to somebody. Joannod Smith hasn't been involved. Adam Humphreys hasn't been involved. A J. Brown has been his guy. If A J. Brown is out or is limited in any capacity, I think that Corey Davis can have a

sneaky game. This is more of I'm throwing that out there for deeper leagues, you know, those you know in your twelve team leagues, you know, just randomly pick up Corey Davis and trust him as a wide retiev three. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying in DFS, salary is very low, and in deeper leagues, if you need to play, just pay attention to that whole situation. When A J. Brown, obviously Derrick Henry, your boy e WI is gonna do Derrick Henry things, which is always very

very good for fantasy owners. He's been fantastic this week. Ryan Tannehill clearly a start um as he has been for the last several weeks. Say loud, say proud, Greg, he has been. Ryan Tannehill is certainly a start for the Oakland side. You're starting Darren Waller and Josh Jacobs man playing the race a separated shoulder or something kind of crazy. Yeah, yeah, I don't mean, I don't know even if he does play, I don't know how effective

he's gonna be pretty banged up. Oakland is on on just the vicious slide, and the tennanty Tennessee Titans are going the other way. They seem to get a little bit better and better offensively each week. This defense has been sneaky good all year. Uh, the Oakland Raiders are in for it this week, that's for sure. Alright, two more games, frank on Sunday, with just a minute ago, You're New York Jets at home taking on e t s. Take it on the Miami Nolphins. Frankie, what do you got?

I do like Ryan Fitzpatrick as a DFS quarterback. I like him as a stream as well. If you are desperate, obviously you're using Davontae Parker. Laird is a lower and flex option. On the other side, Levy on Bell pay attention. He has an illness if you own pick up Blal Powell as well. I love, love, love Robbie Anderson this week. He is a low and wide receiver too for me, Greg And with Washington Green Bay with five seconds left, Uh, start all the running backs. You know he's e y,

He's frank good luck in the playoffs. Will do it all again next week. Well, are you ready? For the nation's first and only free, twenty four hour network dedicated to you, the betting and fantasy sports enthusiast. Sports Crede will provide you with a real time content, statistics and

Get all the grid. Here's what you missed on the BFFs. Say you have to start Alexander Medicine. Sorry, buddy, I'm not gonna do that. Come on, I'm not gonna do that. We'll see, we'll see on today's show. There were a lot of the games yesterday,

which was great. We spent a lot of time breaking down the games. Today, we'll do all the games that we missed. It would be great. Um, you can call that kind of like the leftovers, right, because we haven't done in half the games like leftovers? Got it? Sure, you go ahead and play it, play the SoundBite if you want to find it. Prepare Danny. That's that's fair. I can't do that well. We got time throughout the breaker. Didn't get your fill from the waiver wire. The BFFs

has your leftovers. Watch that's never mind, give me a whole lot of it. We had a whole slate, all the leftovers, ahole plate boom, leftovers to get to. So let's begin with arguably the game of the weekend. The New England Patriots hosting the Kansas City Chiefs are rematch of the a f C Championship game from a year ago. That one was in Kansas City, this one is in New England. Why my question to you which running me? You can only start one from each team? Which running

back do you want to start from the Chiefs? And which running back do you want to start from? The camp from the New England Patriots judging by last week, and it's gonna be James White. Um, but I'm staying strong and that's just like I've been all year. The Patriots running back it's a mess. Every year. Everyone wanted to tell me in the offseason that Sony Michelle was the unequivocal number one running back, was going to carry the ball, was going to score a pilot touch ounds.

Well that hasn't happened because that's not what the Patriots due. Um. James White had a hell of a game. Seemed like there are times when he was the only guy on the field or the only guy that Brady could see last week. UM, so that that would be my my vote. Uh. But I mean it's a dart throw, just like it's always been. And I'm gonna go with McCoy. I think he's going to be the starter. But I do have a sneaky suspicion about Darwin Thompson. Frank the same question

to you, my friend. Actually have Darwin Thompson rank the highest of the Chief's running back so far. Damian Williams did not practice again yesterday. I haven't seen the Chiefs practice for yet for the for today, but I would be very surprised if Tammy and Williams is good to go in week four teen. Darryl Williams has already been ruled out, so I will take Darwin Thompson as well with SEW McCoy has been inactive over the past month

or so. He has seen a limited workload and perhaps they've been saving him for a game like this, But personally, I feel like Darwin Thompson is in play. For double digit touches here in this game against the New England Patriots, and then on the other side, I think James White is what he has been a season long Gregg. He is a flex. He had a bunch of work last week. They were trailing for a lot of last week. I'm

not sure that that's going to be the case. I have Sony Michelle rank the highest of the Patriots running backs. This week, you can run on the Kansas City Chiefs and I think that they will try to do just that. Remember the playoffs, Creig that was That was a game where Sony Michelle scored. I believe it was three touchdowns. The Kansas City Chiefs a lot of Sony Michelle
