then a bunch of starter sick questions. Feel free to fire them away in YouTube, twitch, x whatever you're watching this show on tonight and we'll answer them. We do have some regarding Kareem Hunt, Jacobe Myers, Juwan Johnson, and Baker Mayfield. So that is all going on on the show tonight, now, Stacy, I was going to try to

get this right at the top of the show. I knew I wasn't going to, So I'm going to ask you again as far as when you are live on the interwebs on internet streams, what are you doing them for and when can people watch you?

very slowly or I'm going to mess that up. During Monday night football, we kick off at eight, kind of hang out, watch the game, talk waivers, just you know, have a lot of fun talk about the Sunday action from the day before, and you know, just kind of catch up on what's going on in football.

to what I got here to lead things off. Let's talk about the Giants backfield, because they went against our Green Bay Packers this past week, and quite frankly, Tyrone Tracy and Devin Singletary both put up startable numbers against the Packers Sunday afternoon. Nineteen carries for eighty eight yards, four catches for fifty one yards for Tyrone Tracy. He did not get into the end zone, but it seemed like if there was one back that they were favoring,

it seemed to be Tracy. Now I have my thoughts and i'll get your thoughts on the Packers rush defense. I think it's a little bit overrated. I think that they really it was really evident that they're struggling to get off the field. It seemed like every third and fourth down the Giants were converting and as a result, the Giants were able to execute their game plan, shortening the game up and giving them a chance to win until they inevitably got Jamis at the end of the game.

But I want to bring up Tyrone Tracy here because this week the Giants go to Detroit. Right, here's the guy I like better than Devin Singletary in this backfield. But I feel like even flexing him out, I think you're playing with a little fire here against the Lions. How do you see Tracy right now and sort of the state of this Giants backfield as they head into MotorCity.

and they're at home. I just feel like that's and they're coming off a couple of really bad games for the Lions. I just feel like they are really going to get up for this game and just kind of make a statement show that they are back. I'm not. I don't think it's going to be a good outcome for the Giants this week. And also, you know, I was kind of thinking about this, Bulky. Do you think that maybe they put up the Giants put up a little bit better numbers against our Packers because you know,

that's that first game after their coach gets fired. You know there's something maybe to that a little bit, or maybe normally they wouldn't have had that much success against you know, And look, I totally I'm with you on the rush defense with the Packers right now, but I mean they are still really good. So I'm just kind of wondering if that maybe played into a little bit of why they were a little bit more productive than they probably should have been.

it is a little bit of a change. And that did worry me because because I do think Mike Koff is a pretty talented guy. I think that you know the time that he I mean, wouldn't you have like a half decade with Andy Reid in Kansas City everything? Think about how much he just soaked up there, And so it did make me nervous. And then when Winston is throwing these these interception balls and Green Bay is just dropping every single one, I'm like, this is gonna

come down to the wire. I didn't even know if they're gonna win. They end up squeezing it out. So I do I agree with you. I think there is something there and we'll see if the Packers defense can clean it up this week when they faced Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason. More to come on that as well later on in the show. Now, let's go out to Sam Francisco and I want to talk Juwan Jennings here. Four catches on six targets this past week in their

win over the Cardinals. The six targets were good enough for the team lead, and with George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey obviously, And on the day that Ricky Pearsall comes back, Juwan Jennings is still the number one wide out. On the day, first pass of the game, he catches for twenty five yards. And I can't remember who was bringing this up. It might have been Scott Barrett or Grand Barfield or if i'm I never remember, and I apologize for that. So I'm giving improper credit, or maybe I'm

getting giving proper credit. I don't know. But they said that Ricky Pearsall saw zero first read targets in that game against Arizona, and you think about, you know, how up and down that game was as far as the offense is, and Brissette throwing the ball all over the field, that does surprise me. Now, I don't know if they're easing him back in, but I don't think the switch is flipped or the flip is switched this coming weekend as the Niners get ready to take on the Panthers

on Monday Night Football. I think Jennings is another sneaky flex play for people who are missing guys like you know, Courtland Sutton, Jalen Waddle, some of these receivers that are on by this week. I happen to like Jennings this week, Stacy, what do you think? Yeah?

good connection. But I think that's gonna be a little more run heavy, So I probably downgrade him just a smidge, but I do like him this week.

get excited for something like that. However, we got some fireworks early with a Trevian Henderson touchdown, and then just before we went off the air with Casey Caseon from Rotaballer, we got a second tvon Henderson touchdown, which I thought, Hey, this is great. This is Henderson Knight and my son, who is twelve years old, they have to think about this. No, he's not twelve, Yeah, he is twelve. God, he's twelve already.

He and I share a fantasy team with one of his body or with you know, his buddies or whatever, and he has Henderson on that team, and we started him that night, and I was super excited to tell him that Henderson scored two touchdowns. After he got off the air, my wife was bringing up home from basketball practice, and before I could even say anything, he walks in the holding up his phone and he says, Dad, Trevion Henderson just scored his third touchdown. And I'm like, what,

We've been waiting for this all year? Like we've been waiting and waiting and waiting for Trevian Henderson to get his just due, for him to do everything he's supposed to do. No block no rock. He's blocking now and he's getting the rock. Obviously, the Ramandre Stephenson thing played a part in Henderson getting all those touches, getting all those carries, and kudos to Josh McDaniels and Mike Rabel

for not letting Terrell Jennings get in the way. Yeah, last week, which I think was a little bit nerve wracking for all of us. Now you think it's over Stacy, it's not, because we got to go through this again. Mike Reese reporting that Ramandre Stevenson and I have not seen anything as far as practice goes today. But Stevenson

with that toe was limited in yesterday's practice. He has not played since I believe week nine, and the fact that he gets in a limited practice on Wednesday, you probably I'm thinking at least he's more on the optimistic side of questionable. But you can't recork the wine, you can't put the toothpaste back in the tooth, or can you. Considering the coaches we're dealing with, I love that this week I'm going to be playing them everywhere, but there's

a little bit of pucker that goes to that. I'm a little bit nervous about inserting Henderson in my lineups. How do you think this situation is going to go when New England takes the field this week?

I mean I've been saying this. You know this season, you've got to find yourself somebody bulky that is going to look at you the way that Mike Rabel looks set Ramandre Stevenson, Okay, because he can do no wrong. He can do no wrong in Rabel's eyes. He can fumble the ball eight hundred times, does not matter. He's still gonna throw him back out there. So if he's available, if he's active, I'm starting him. But I'm still starting

Henderson too. This is a great matchup. I feel like you could probably start both of these guys going forward. Are we going to have some questions about who is it?

load up on Trevian Henderson this year. But Steve was like, props the ball key. He's the guy who turned me on to Trevian Henderson this year, and he was saying that in like late in the drafting season, like god, I hope it works out. And then I'm like, geez, I hope he stops mentioning that. You know, and now and now it's like if you've survived with these Henderson teams long enough, and you're still like, you know, in

the playoffs or what have you. Now all of a sudden, you're like, Okay, this could actually work out, even though it hadn't worked out for like the first nine or ten weeks of the season. All right, let's get into Jamison Williams here, Whiskey Bill as the kids call him. Four of seven targets were snared by him for eighty eight yards and a touchdown in their loss to the Eagles this past Sunday night. He also had one carry for nine yards. Now, this was the first game, first

full game that Detroit's had this season. With Sam Laporta on IR, you noticed, or maybe you did notice, that the Eagles really put a focus on taking a mon Ross Saint Brown out of the game. Williams got the big forty yard touchdown earlier in the in the second quarter, and and then you know, I guess the Lions come up short in this game. But this was still a win for Jamison Williams. Fantass And now he gets the Giants this week, which give up explosive plays like it's

a bodily function. We have seen the worm turned here since Dan Campbell took over calling plays over John Morton. Things have changed, and the promise that we were given about Trevian Henderson seems to be coming true. I think you could say a similar thing for Jamison Williams right now. Stay he looks dialed in.

a great defense. So you know, I think it's finally starting to click. You know. No, I mean, I hate that Laporte is Ollury is one of my favorite tight ends, but you know, at least it opens up some more targets for Williams, and I think kind of we see that again against the Giants this week.

you about Laporta? I mean the fact that they have not they've had the opportunity to say, oh, he'll be back after four games, and they haven't yet. I'm wondering if this is a season long thing here and maybe we don't even see him in the playoffs.

I can't even talk about like tight ends right now. So the fact that like both of them are on the ir it's like my two favorite tight ends in the entire league. It's just it's it's brutal right now. But yeah, it does. It doesn't make me very nervous for them.

don't know what happened. I think it was like early to mid August and everybody is telling me I'm wrong and that Craft is going to be great, and I'm like, you know what, I gotta start drafting some Tucker Craft. So I drafted him a few times late, but I definitely was not hit as hard as some other people were this year, which stinks because it looked it not only looked like he was a league winner, Stacey, it looked like he was the engine that was really making

that Packers offense go offensively. They have not looked the same since Craft went down, And this is something that's not only a detriment to the Packers hopes to make a deep postseason runs. It's detrimental to people who are hoping for big numbers from Love and Jacob's and Watson and Dobbs and you know, all these guys that that they're gonna be flexing out or playing in their fantasy lines. It doesn't give me the warm fuzzies at all with the Packers offense what we've seen.

you just think he's a great player. But you know, ever since you know his injury, we just don't have an answer for that. We don't have an answer to how are we going to replace you know, the production that he brings. And right now, I guess what, it's not Lou Musgrave. He's not able to produce that.

what three catches for like thirty yards? It was it was not great, non impactful, yeah, production, and he was asked about that and Lafleur, I wouldn't say he went off, but he kind of like kept going back to the point like we got to get him more snaps, we got to get him more looks, And he basically said, I'm gonna have a conversation with our staff about that. I wonder if that was like an Adam Stenovich thing or something where Lafleur actually wanted to utilize him more

and he just wasn't out there. So I do wonder if we're going to see like an over correction on the Packers part where we might see actually seeing a little extra muscrave this week. I don't know, I could be reading too much, but it was just weird to hear him talk about it like that.

the actual breakdown is going to be. This is a game where the Buccaneers have to travel across the country to take on a fairly tough defense in the Los Angeles Rams. I'm kind of hoping for the people who are counting on Sean Tucker this week that Irving doesn't play, because if Irving is active in this game, what a cluster f if between Sean Tucker Bucky Irving, perhaps splitting

Carries and Stacy. If we wide scope this because of Tucker's performance, this is going to cause problems not only week twelve, but going forward, because this could be a really muddled backfield from what was fairly clean at the start of the years. It's clear as a cloud, clear as as fog right now.

of but that's the way it looks like. It's it's trending anyway, so we may not have to worry about that at least for another week. But I've always been a big Seantucker family. He was coming out of school, you know, ends up going undrafted because of that heart

issue that kind of gets discovered and everything. But you know, and I've gotten to go to training camp a few times and see him up close, like he just looks so explosive, and he's looked like the better running back the last couple of weeks and last year, you know, he had a couple of games at Flash. I think he had a thirty point Fantasy game one of those weeks, I think where Shad White was out, Bucky was out something like that, he had the starting role. So I'm

a big fan of Shontagar this week. I mean, it is a really tough defense there against the Rams. I hate, you know, teams going cross country. I don't normally like to, you know, I rely on guys that are kind of coming in that way, but you know, it is what it is. It's going into week twelve in Fantasy. A lot of us are starting Seawn Tucker this week.

him a league winner. I'm not going to go that far, but I do think if you are in the playoffs right now, and you've kept Purty on your roster this whole time you waited on quarterback, yes, that this could be a boon for you. So I do like Purdy this week. Prescott on a short week against the Eagles. Yeah, I know it's at home, but I do get nervous

about it. It's a weekly game, and I know this is lazy analysis, but it's a weekly game in fantasy, and I think so oftentimes we as fantasy players, analysts, whatever, we're prisoners of the moment, and recency bias clouds our

judgment on these players. The Cowboys could be looking at being so good and producing so much on Monday night and then like that, Prescott grows for one hundred and seventy yards pickings and Lamb failed the top sixty yards no touchdowns in that game, and the Cowboy and the Eagles win at fifteen to twelve or something like that. So it's very difficult for me to say, yeah, I

like Prescott this week. Orderline top ten option. You may not have a better option, but I like Purdy quite a bit more than I like Prescott in Week.

They're going to play each other tough, you know. And I just don't like what Philly's been doing to opposing team's quarterbacks this year. You know, they've really been limiting them. I think they're giving up like the tenth fewest Fantasy points to opposing teams quarterbacks. So you don't like that at all. It's hard to not start Dak right unless you have a much better option, but I think you definitely have to downgrade him this week.

the Rams were down to safety. They were forced to play one of their backup safeties and A. J. Barner ended up having a pretty good game for seattlegainst. Los Angeles. Like I don't know what it was, like six seven targets. He caught like six of them for like, you know, forty fifty yards, which yeah, on the surface doesn't sound great, but tight end premium scoring. I mean that could be a difference. And look at Kadott this week, who is coming into this game, granted, you know, off a poor game.

He saw five targets, he catches two of them for twenty eight yards against the Bills. Kayd Atten has the most targets, receptions, and yardage of all NFL tight ends this season that have not scored touchdowns. I think this could be the week I like him against the Rams. I don't necessarily love Baker Mayfield in this matchup when I think Oughton could return good fantasy value. He's a player that I would think in FFPC tight end premium leagues.

I'm not gonna say must start. But Stacy, I think he's darned close this week.

right behind him Meco Buca. So he's the number two option right now for Mayfield, me Feld trust him. You know, he's a big body guy, can get out there and grab the ball, you know, gives him that other option there. So I really do like Katat and this week, especially in that tight end premium format, you know, like there's just there's just not too many people. I feel more comfort confident starting over Katat and I think this.

on ir so he is not playing this week. Another reason to like, uh for sure in this And then also Sean Engel, our producer Tonight Rondez Barber, Buccaneers legend who I believe covers the team he does, and he's saying that Irving is going to be listed as out for Week twelve. So that clears things up a little bit with with Sean Tucker. You know, I always I always bring this up. Dan Williamson from Player Profiler, Your colleague.

There's Stacy who hosts the Fantasy Empire podcast. He said this last year, but I think it still rings true

because he is not a rashad white guy. And he says the three running backs in the Buccaneers backfield are Bucky, Tucky and Sucky referring to Rashad White, and so he he is, and like I have White on on a few teams, and at this point, Stacy, I'm just keeping him around just in case the you know, like Irving isn't ready to come back next week and maybe something happens to Tucker, Like White is now basically a handcuff, right, He's an injury way type guy. I can't. I can't.

I can't give any reasons to keep him on your roster other than the contingent upside.

like holding off on a running back. He was one that I went after, you know, because he had he actually among and this was kind of why I had justified it was he had I think six touch six receiving touchdowns last season, which was by far more than any other running back within his range of where you were drafting him had and so that was kind of an upside play for me, was to go grab him

for that, you know, kind of potential there. But yeah, he's not looked great at all, and especially with Sean Tucker coming on and just you know, kind of cementing his role. I think, is you know going to be going forward running back to there? You know, I just I you have to hang on to him. It's that time of season, right especially if you drop him, he can't go back get him later or anything like that. So you're hanging on to him, but you're not going to start him.

this week with Marvin Harrison Junior out again. Yeah, we found out yesterday that Harrison has already been ruled out for Week twelve against the Jaguars, and the fact that he is ruled out this early, I think you can start looking at like, God, is he even gonna be available in week thirteen. Mike Wilson fifteen catches one hundred and eighty five yards, which, by the way, to the surprise of no one, is more catches and yards than Harrison has ever had in a single game. Now the

Cardinals are throwing it a ton. I don't know how much that changes if Trey Benson comes back this week or maybe in weeks going forward. But Brissette I paid the through the nose for in a couple of Dynasty leagues last night because I needed to have a guy like this on my roster, especially with Michael Pennox being sent to I had no answers for backup quarterbacks those leagues.

So when when we look at it from from the standpoint of Michael Wilson bringing it back to that, I don't see a reason that the Cardinals just go back to, you know, running the ball, running the ball, running the ball. This is how their bread is buttered. It's Jacoby Brissette throwing the ball all over the field. I love McBride this week. I like Michael Wilson. So to answer Tom's question, any chance he has a decent game, Yes, I think

there's a good chance he has a decent game. And I also think there's a solid chance he has another good game. I don't know about fifteen for one hundred and eighty five, but I do like him this week against the Jags for sure.

you know, receiver. He's had a lot of injury issues, you know, coming out of college and everything that he's dealt with, but you know, it seems like he's finally healthy. He's really connected with percent and Brissette has kind of come in and just kind of been that guy that would they say, like a rising tide lifts all boats, like that's exactly what he's done with this offense. It's lived night and day better than it has with Kyler Murray.

And I mean, you think you can take a look at the stats with with Trey McBride, how he was never getting in the end zone with Murray and now he's had what seven touchdowns this season? So yeah, just all day with it with the Cardinals, Wilson McBride, all those guys.

from the standpoint of the quarterback. Now, this is what we should We probably should have let off the show with this, and this is my fault. But to answer this question, I think we have to talk about Daniel Jones here. First, Stacy, he was not on the injury report yesterday and then he's listed as a limited participant today with a calf injury. So this is a midweek downgrade. Ian Rapaport said that he believes the Colts are being

cautious in this, so that's probably good. I think he plays at this point, but this does throw a little bit of cold water on this. The good part about this neither one of these teams play tonight, so we'll find out what the practice reports are for Jones and so on and so forth by the time Sunday rolls around. We have to get these lineups solidified. My belief is I trust Daniel. I can't believe I'm saying this. I trust Daniel Jones more than JJ McCarthy at this point.

And the fact that Alec Pearce has been so prevalent in the rise of Daniel Jones to you know, being a quasi MVP candidate right now, it's tough for me to say. Yeah, no, I like Addison better than Pierce. Here. I think I would play Pierce assuming Jones is active for this game, which I think he will be. Assuming he's active, I would play Pierce over Addison. What would you do? Yeah?

matchup for the Colts. But I still think given the target share, I mean, he's he's kind of pushing alt Pearce is kind of pushing for for wide receiver one there with against Michael Pittman. You know, he's taken over a lot of that target share lately the last several games. So I gotta go Pierce on this one. I think right now, just go at the hot hand somewhere.

Judkins at Las Vegas. Love the matchup for Judkins here, I am playing Judkins over Walker, even with the uptick in production and touches for Walker. I can't in good conscience sit Judkins in favor of Walker. Yeah.

that figures into it. And it is the Raiders defense this week too, so there's something we said for that. That said, I have picked up the Raiders defense in a few of my fantasy leagues, and I'll be running them out there against Sugar the same.

to week. You know, I might try to get like a decent one occasionally if if it works out, But for the most part, I think just they're not They're going to give you probably the same of points right as maybe like a flex option, maybe a lower end flex something like that from week to week. So I'm not as worried about that. So I just prefer usually let me let me go match up to match up.

difficult to do, so I'll try to grab it. Yes, exactly, huge, Yeah, and that wasn't even just week one. They had a really good September six weeks. Yeah. Yeah, So after like eight or nine are off the board, I'll grab one. But then, like I begin my defensive evolution over the course of the season because of bye weeks and stuff,

people start dropping these defenses. There's a lot of people that will invest in two defenses in Kentucky and then inevitably are like, God, I got to cut one of these guys to get a third wide receiver in my lineup this week, and then I just sort of cobble them together. So I'm constantly like looking at rest of season schedule and trying to figure out, you know, and then I like, typically I do like to have two defenses. Yeah, you know, optimally I'm saying, like a top five defense

every single week based on the matchup. The rest of the season doesn't always go that way. That's usually like how I had to handle it. Okay, a lot on defense there the uh. By the way, Tom chiming into our defensive discussion, Dallas defense last week, Raiders defense this week. Who knew? But you know what, that's that's fantasy, right that that's part of the game. And if you can and if you can nail that part of your lineup down, you're gonna have an advantage over a lot of your

opponents this year. And krimny on on Twitch, but shout out to all the twitch users tonight This is awesome seeing so many twitch people in here. I hate to ask kicker question, but very close week and it's must win. Go Fairbairn tonight or stick with McLaughlin versus the Rams now, Stacy, I don't know if I have any miracle kicker analysis on this.

like what your what your roster looks like. Are you dropping somebody to pick up Fairbarn? Are you dropping McLaughlin to pick up Fairbarn? That I would not do rather after Laughlin the remainder of the season, even with that great stat that you brought up a vote fair Bear, if you have both of them on your team, then yes, it's it's it's Fairbarn. This is so razor thin. Stacey is a better fantasy player than I am, so I'm gonna go with HER's say it's Fairbarn tonight because it's

that close. I don't know, you know, it just so so and listen, the lights shine on those primetime players. So why wouldn't you want to watch Thursday night football and enjoy, you know, kick back with a cold one and watch fair Bear wipe all these field goals as the Bills defeat them thirty five to twelve. I think that's the way to look at it.

which I think is interesting. I think Breese Hall is fine. It's just really difficult for me to believe in that Jets offense and the fact that this is the Week twelve Ravens defense rather than the Week four or five Ravens defense. To me, stacy has me thinking like I got to play Chase Brown here. I can't sit Brown, especially if Burrow's back out there. I can't sit Chase Brown in favor of Bree Hall.

only Shawn Tucker. John couldn't do it. There's a whole list of you know, your top tier running backs, not one of them had been able to do it. The only one that could do with Shaun Tucker. So that to me says, you know what, Chase Brown, You're not having a great season anyway. You've been pretty disappointing. I think this is going to be We're thrown from behind

a lot during this game. So I'm going to go with I'd rather have the Sincy pass catchers than I want anything to do with their backfield.

is obviously going to have it. We say it's a negative game script for Chase Brown, but because how involved in the passing game he is, and then maybe it's not a get negative game script now to throw another pepper in the gumbo here this is Burrow or or it could be Burrow not Flacco, and Burrow I think is talented enough where he doesn't need to necessarily check it down as much as Flacco does. Right, But Burrow

won't have Chase. So then do you, if you're Cincinnati, if you're Zach Taylor, do you design stuff for Chase Brown to get more involved in the game. Do you do you get these screen passes to him? Do you utilize him, you know, over the middle, just for the quick four or five six hitters, four or five six yard hitters. I don't know, so I I think I'm with you. I don't see a really good path to rushing success in this game for Chase Brown, but not

necessarily in fantasy success. Now, now to kind of disagree with myself here, the Jets are thirteen and a half point underdogs, and I don't see Breese Hall having success rushing the football, but we know how talented he is catching the football. Both of these guys could get shut down from a rushing standpoint, Stacy and then still blow up with you know, a half dozen catches or maybe even more in these games too, which is wild. So I guess when it comes down to it, Stacy is

saying Hall, I am saying Chase Brown, we can't help you. Flies. Yeah, got on this one. But I will say, listen to Stacy.

to no one's surprise. In his last four games combined, for Jordan Mason twenty four rushing attempts, and we know he doesn't normally catch passes, you keep him on your bench for contingent upside. I don't want to play him anywhere this week against the Packers, and I do believe a little bit of extra juice for Aaron Jones coming back to lambeau Field. Jones is the play over Mason this week. I don't think Mason's flexible at all, and I don't care what format you're playing in.

to be the normal for him going forward. He's going to go kind of, you know, regress back to what he'd been doing the last several games.

was limited in practice yesterday. He hurt his ankle late in the week eleven game, and he was on pace for a massive game. Still got seventy four yards, still got a touchdown fifteen attempts in this game too, Travis Etn, I believe, correct me if I'm wrong. I think he's dealing with an injury right now. To Stacy. Yeah, so the gap is obviously closing between these two players. This was Tuton's probably his best game as a pro, I think, and when it comes down to it, both of these

guys need to be rostered. I am not one of the people that is going to say, hey, if these guys are both active, I want Tuton in my lineup. It's still ETN for me. But man, it's getting close, and I wonder for all of us. And I don't know if I ever said Tuton was going to be a league winner this year, I might have I do a lot of shows, I say a lot of crazy stuff at some point that might have come out of

my mouth. But as far as Tuton being a league winner, if ETN were to go down, based on what I saw this past week, and based on what could happen this week against Arizona, I don't know, like Tuton is all of a sudden a very exciting player again here in late November.

is going to be okay for Sunday. But yeah, I mean, and and you're right, I mean we are still starting etn if if that's the choice, if they're both back there and they're both healthy. But men, tutin Is, if you got what week was he getting picked up off waivers Balky, do you remember?

And that team went from first place and it did not make the playoffs this year, which it like it humbles you fantasy football does. For sure.

player profiler, Dynasty djens, I'm Eric Balkman. Stick around. We give you our Bills Texans preview right after.

my favorite. If you're like me and you're tired of the constraints of salary caps, or having to do a draft to make a team, or even having to play against these people that are stacking up the same team, stacking up certain games, and you feel like you have to put in a million entries or or have to have those certain stacks to win, then come play over at FFPC. Really, the only main rule that you have to deal with is that you cannot select multiple players

from the same team. I'm going out and I'm trying to find the best of the best of the best players and put them into a lineup, and that's what you can do over at my FFPC. You can go out and you can take the number one running back in Bjon Robinson, and you can also have sakuon Barkley. As long as they're not in the same team. You can put them all into a lineup right. And there's four flexes for this, so there's a lot of flexibility.

There's two different contests, one that has kickers and defenses, one that's just positioned players. Then you also have a bunch of different price points. You can play out thirty five dollars, one hundred dollars or two hundred dollars buy in and you're going out and you're just picking the absolute chalk plays, maybe sneaking in a little bit of a sleeper there's somebody that you think can really blow

up that week. And that's how it works. It's one of the best contests out there for the sharpest gamers, and when you win on the FFPC, people take notice. That is where the best high stakes games are. That's where the best experts play, and that's where I play because I want to be an FFPC champion and put that title on me, put the money in my pocket and put that in my bio FFPC Champion and the FFPC Weekly Contest is the best place to play during the season.

If you want Dalton Schultz, you can't have Nico Collins. You can win up to twenty five hundred dollars ten thirty and one hundred team contests available now my ffpc dot com That is m y ffpc dot com to play in the FFPC Weekly Challenge. This is the FFPC Insider Access show live on the Better Sports Network. Thanks so much for hanging out with us, downloading this, streaming

it whatever. I don't know if ive ever made the formal announcement, but but three months or so ago, our wonderful producer Sean Engels started sending me the audio for these shows. So in case you're not a viewer and you like to consume your podcast and audio form, you can get this pretty much anywhere you get podcasts as well. That'll be up sometime tonight, so check that out in case you know you're watching this and you're like, god,

I wish they had audio on this. Shout out to Mason Spain who kind of put that idea in my head a longtime FFPC and KFFSC player. So that is available now thanks to Mason Spain and some other people who had asked for it as well. Okay, Thursday Night Football, Miss Stacey Perez from Player Profiler, Fantasy and Frames and Dynasty d Jens. Let's talk about Josh Allen. He had a massive week last week at right about the point I think people were starting to regret utilizing a high

pick on him. He throws for three touchdowns, He rushes for three touchdowns. When you look at his remaining schedule, when you look at what you know, quite frankly, maybe schedule doesn't make a difference with Josh Allen because of how talented he is. Is he about to go on a run? Is he about to do something that is going to cause us, once again to draft him high in twenty twenty six drafts because he's going to help us win a lot of cash down the stretch of

the season. How do you look at Josh Allen not only tonight against Houston, but for the remainder of the twenty twenty five campaign.

in November and in December. Right now, Josh Allen's career has got twelve wins, four losses in November, and he averages about forty one point four rushing yards per game in November as well, And then if you move to December, he's got twenty one wins and nine losses there, and his performance tends to be a lot stronger in the in the later months of the year, and you know his rushing yards usually bump up from November to December. So that's what I'm looking at. So historically, that's kind

of what he's done. I don't see any reason why that will change this year. So I am I am counting on him to go on a run. In a few of my leagues here, I'm hoping that history will repeat itself again. For him.

the Championship Week's sprint. I don't know if that's great, but I also can tell you you probably don't have a better option, and you're still rolling Chalalen out there.

James Cook is a player that I was down on this year, I think because of the contract situation, and I know, like I just go by history, and history says these guys who sit out and then try to come back and you know, get the full experience of training camp in this finite amount of time to try to get ready for the regular season oftentimes deal with some soft tissue injuries. Well that didn't happen with James Cook.

He's been unbelievable for the for the majority of the season. Here, I will say this, if you look at what Cook has been able to do this season, He's just under a thousand yards rushing, which is pretty impressive considering we're not even the Thanksgiving yet. If you look at his game logs, part of the reason was he went back to back weeks two hundred and sixty rushing yards and then one hundred and fourteen rushing yards, failed to top

sixty against Miami, failed to top fifty against Tampa. Is this going to change tonight against Houston a tough defense? And given how far we let him slip in high stakes drafts this year, Stacy, do you think that he has the potential or what's his level of league winnerhood? Like is it likely to happen? Not likely to happen. How do you look at James Cook tonight and for the rest of the season.

three points per game in PPR formats. So the only players that are out producing him at this point Jonathan Taylor, McCaffrey, Ah Chan, Robinson, and Gibbs. So for a player that you drafted as running back thirteen and now he is giving you this kind of production, to me, that that's kind of a league winner there because you you passed on some of those big names, right, you know, like a Derrick Henry or a Bucky Irving or something like that. Guys that we're going ahead of him for sure, and

he has just completely outproduced them. So I like what James Cook is doing. I think a lot of people too, were down on him, are like, he's not going to have the same kind of you know, touchdown, you know production that he had last year. That's going to regress. You know, he's still he's still putting up great numbers. And you know, Josh Allen can't run it in every time, right, That's kind of what happened against the Bucks, right, Josh Allen just completely took over. I don't think Cook was

necessarily needed in that game. So you know, I am, I am on board with James Cook being a league winner. I could absolutely see him. You know, there's a lot of teams out there. I'm sure probably that are going to walk away with some money because of James Cook.

and bear this in mind too. You know, all of twenty twenty four, dude had one thousand nine yards rushing. He only played in sixteen games. For what it's worth, he's already at nine to sixty eight, so he is, you know whatever, that is forty one yards rushing behind his full total from last year. Touchdown regression could happen for James Cook and he could still be a better player and put up better numbers in twenty twenty five than he did in twenty twenty four. Mister bakes a lot, Stacy.

This is I'm throwing it to you because and if you don't have anything for it makes a lot gotten. I d P question, who do you guys feel will have more tackles Matt Mulano versus the Texans or Geno Stone versus the Patriots. I have no blanking idea. I don't play I d P. I did one time in the late nineties and I'm like, this is not for me, and I gave it up. I know there are great

websites out there that you can check, Stacey. Could you recommend anybody that that might be able to answer this question on X so?

I know, and Balky I'm a little embarrassed. I don't know who Genostone is, so I gotta go with Matt Milano.

Brett Whitefield from Fantasy Points we're talking about this. They believe he's playing hurt. They believe this ankle injury which I think he had early before the season started, which was a re injury of the same ankle problem that he had twenty twenty four they think it's limiting to him. He's got no burst, he's got no separation. His pet's heads are falling off. It's all bad things going on

right now for Khalil Shakir. That said, Dalton Kinkaid's out tonight, which means if there is a you know, a got to have a guy on third down, a go to guy for Buffalo tonight in the passing game, it's got to be Shakir. And even with this stuff working against him no practice this week dealing with the ankle injury. Matthew Berry always says, as trust is a strong word, but whatever is the closest, the next closest thing down from trust, That's what I'm doing with Shakir. I only

have in a couple of leagues. I'm playing them in both of them tonight. I feel okay about it, but not great about it. Here, What do you think what we're looking at with Shakir tonight with the red flags I mentioned, and also knowing that Houston's got a pretty good.

I if it's not Shakier, I don't know who it is, because we're certainly not going to go pick up Josh Palmer. And beyond that, you know, there's not too many other options there in their you know, in their passing games. So you know, Shakira, he's I think, I think you have to trust him here. You know, he's a veteran. You know he'll be out there. You know, he knows he's a professional football player. He knows how to get open play the game. So you know it's going to

be a tough fight for him for sure. But you know, I still think you're you're probably in a situation where you probably do have to start him, but you know, lower lower those expectations a little bit.

team meeting. Now we I thought this is a one week thing, and then ESPN reported about an hour ago that Coleman was expected to be inactive again against the Texans. This is the third time that Coleman has missed a game in two years due to disciplinary issues. He was also held out against the Jaguars in twenty twenty four, just for the first quarter, and then the first offensive series this year against the Patriots in five. And what stinks is we just brought this up. This is a

golden opportunity for him to shine. With hobbled Shakira out there, nobody else we can trust.

you mentioned Palmer, Curtis Samuel obviously out as well. I can't I can't find Yeah, I cannot find a good Uh you know, I guess the only player I would consider if I'm desperate and I'm missing wide receivers and running backs this week in a flex is Shavers based on the connection that him and Allen had last week. But I don't even trust that. I mean, it's just this is this is wild. And we've you know, as Packers fans, we hear this all the time. We heard

it all the time with Aaron Rodgers. Why can't Green Bay get them weapons? But and now we're hearing in Buffalo, why can't Joe Shane, Uh not Joe Shane. Who's this? What's but Brandon Bean? Thank you Brandon Bean getting and to the point where he went off on our Good Buddy Mike Show radio station WGR fifty earlier this season, like we're putting up all these points or whatever. And I guess they tried to trade for Jalen Waddle, it didn't happen. This is this is this is bad news

for Buffalo tonight against a pretty good Texans defense. To bring it back to my original question, is a Khalil Shakir Boston? And if you were to trust one of these other receivers and start them tonight, who would it be?

his act. It's just, you know, at this point, what are you doing? Like this is your job? Like you're you know, like you're playing full time for eighteen weeks, Like how are you missing meetings? Like you're not just late, you're missing meetings. That's insane to me. And then I also saw I'm so embarrassing in Sarah Sas on TikTok Today with Shannon Sharp and o Jo Sinko, and they were talking about this and they were just saying, you know, like Ojo Sinka was going off, They're like, look like

this guy, there are certain players like Ceede Lamb, George Pickens. Right, they're gonna get held out for the first for the first drive when they mess up, right, because they're talented. And you know, they were like, hey on Coleman, you ain't talented enough to be doing this kind of you know, shenanigans. And they then they showed a clip of him following you know him, everybody's out on the field, he's in street clothes, he's dancing on the sidelines, yucking it up.

This is clearly not somebody who understands the severity of what's going on here. So he's not taking it seriously to me. And then so that just kind of reinforced what Louis said is he may not play for them the rest of the season. And I wouldn't be surprised if that if that happens now that it's two weeks in a row. So back to your question, who are we trusting, right. I like Shavers And I did also kind of do the Snoop Dogg meme where it was

like who after that touchdown last week? But you know, I went back and I looked at his usage all season, despite being a complete unknown to pretty much everybody, right, like, he's actually been really involved in their offense. His snap percentage is that a really decent amount. So I'm going to go Shavers here. It feels like he's been on the field. It seems like he's dialed into that offense.

You know, maybe he's going to take advantage of the opportunity he's now being given because of Coleman not being in the line up there. And then also, god knows, Gabe Davis come on, like you know, at some point, you know they're gonna they're gonna end up give it get He's gonna get a long pass down the field, you know, go like eighty yards in a touchdown or something crazy, and and then the next we do nothing.

But uh, but yeah, I think Shavers would probably be the one that I think kind of steps into this role.

him go to free agency. He will sign a massive contract. One of my buddies is saying it's gonna be with Tampa.

And then I'll bring this up as well, because I think he caught a touchdown last week. This uh, this this tight end for Buffalo and I'm the name is this gaping?

last two, you know games here. You know that Kincaid's missed against Miami and Tampa, and he hasn't really done much even though he's been on the field a ton, So I don't necessarily love it. I think without Hawes there, I think he's an automatic start, especially in tight end premium without Kinkaid, But I don't know that I can. I don't know that I can kind of support that with Hawes in the mix right now.

I want to talk about the Texans briefly. What he marks must start though, did that descriptor fit Marx tonight against the Bills in a game where he should be out there catching passes from Davis Mills, in a game that you know Houston should be playing from behind most of the game. I wonder how close he is to must start this week, Stacey.

a big surprise. And Nick Chubb's just a shell of himself. So and then they released Amian Pierce today. I saw that news earlier this afternoon, and so you know, it's Woody marks his game. You know, it's his backfield right now. And so you know, volume alone I think makes him a must start tonight, especially with that great matchup against the Bills.

five yards and a touchdown. He has seen seven or more targets three times this season, two of those times coming within the last two weeks. What do you envision for Higgins tonight with Davis Mills throwing to him against the Buffalo defense that you usually beat on the ground rather through the air. And then your viewpoint on Higgins whether he's going to be a fantasy viable guy down the stretch.

the league. So right off the bat, you know, I mean a Mecha Abuka down here in Tampa is a little bit of a different story, right, But most of these guys are going to take a few games, you know, first half of the season here to really kind of gel with their offense and their quarterback kind of earn them. They're way more you know, onto the field. And that's

really what Higgins has done. And if you take a look at the last two games, his target share has gone up too, well, not two games, sorry, a three games target share is increased by two points. Snap percentage every week for the last three weeks has just consistently gone up. In the meantime, you've also see seen Christian Kirk's numbers start sliding down, and so that to me kind of signals, all right, you know, we've got Higgins.

He's he's kind of taking that next step forward here where he's going to start taking, you know, eating into that role, that wide receiver two role that you know Kirk has kind of you know, kind of held on to a little bit throughout through the season. But I think he's more cementing himself as that consistent option there for Mills or Stroud or whoever is going to be under center.

fifty three, six for fifty one. I think that and Farrell was kind of in my year as he has been the last couple of years against Dalton Schultz. Because I should have Dalton Schultz. I could have picked him up easily literally number two tight end in just in any league this year, Stacy, and he would have been playable as my starter in several weeks this year. I envision this is going to continue, not only against Buffalo tonight,

but against Indy, against Kansas City, Arizona, Las Vegas. Some good matchups here coming up for Dalton Schultz.

the last three games. Specifically, it just jumped up to twenty two point two percent, second highest on the team behind Nico Collins. I know I mentioned about Higgins kind of trying to get into that second wide receiver role. He might be the second wide receiver, but Daldon Schultz is the second option behind Nico Collins one and I just looked over at the screen. I had to like, you know, I needed like some sunglasses for a second over those bright red uniforms the Texans are wearing right now.

But yeah, big big Schultz fan, you know a guy that you could have snatched off waivers who is consistently putting up good point I mean tight end position. It is what it is, right, You're going to have those top few guys that really produce and the rest of them are going to be kind of mid. But Schultz has been somebody who is broken out of that despite

being on an iffy offense with the Texans. So He's somebody that I'm not gonna call him a league winner, but somebody that if you grabbed him on waivers, you're definitely you won that, you know, like you whatever you paid for him was worth.

Jayden and Higgins falls incomplete. They have punted, have the Texans and the Bills take over after a holding penalty on the punt. They take over at their own twenty nine, and the Bills immediately give it to James Cook for four yards second and six from their own twenty three, thirteen to fifty five to go in the first quarter. We will continue our coverage on that as we complete our Thursday night preview on this. Okay, I have to get into some of the questions that popped up during this.

Tom Smith wants to know Andre Yoshivash Yoshabash. I don't know how to pronounce Yoshi.

let's see, what was it. It's not not great. It's like nine you zero point four percent something like that. The last couple of games it's ticked up a little bit. I don't have an issue with either Flacca or Burrow being back there. You're missing Chase, you know, their biggest target. Right, there's gonna be a huge vacuum there. And I think Yoshi sets up with a great matchup here. You know, the New England secondary is going to be focused on

Higgins and shutting him down. So I think that just opens things up a lot for Yeshivas and I am all I picked him up in a couple places. I think you could definitely start him this week.

what's the deal with Jayden Reid? Now the latest I have on this. I was talking with Justice Mesquada from ACME Packing Company on one of my shows this morning, and he made it sound like the Packers do not want to start Marshaun Lloyd or Jaden Reid. And we'll get into Lloyd here in a little bit, but they don't want to start them like opening their practice window in the middle of the week. And they have not

opened up the practice window for either guy yet. So my guess is that gets opened after the Vikings game next week, you know, obviously leading into that into that Lions Thanksgiving showdown in the afternoon. So I listen, I have so much I feel like I picked up Jayden Reid, and like I pick him up in like two different leagues every single week. So I have so much Jayden read that I picked up off the waiver wire right now.

Not that I necessarily love that because I know how much the Packers spread the ball around, but if I get them for a buck or two off the waiver wire, I'm gonna do that. So I have a lot of Jade Reid. I'm excited what to what he can do, to see what he can do down the stretch they see, And maybe more excitement exists because I feel like he and Tucker Craft are more duplication of skills a little

bit in that offense rather than complimentary players. And so what you lack in Tucker Craft, maybe Jayden Reid picks up the slack a little bit there.

You know, we should have him for the fantasy playoffs hopefully so. And I saw the same notice about them not wanting to open their windows in the middle of the week. So those are all kind of like good signs to me that you know they're going to be back in the next They're going to be back soon. So I hang on to them, don't drop them. Go check your waiver wires for people that did drop them and give up. I think we talked about Read briefly

on the Waiver Show earlier this week. I want to say, he's only something like twenty percent roster and something like that, crazy across league. So he's out there, he's available, and he's going to be He's going to be a huge contributor for the Packers as soon as he gets back.

your your love affair with Darnel Washington's production aside? Is it Washington? Is it Friar Mooth? I mean there's John new Smith is there as well. I feel like it's weird because it's an Arthur Smith offense. So I feel like I should want to have one of these tight ends on my roster to deploy in a pinch. But I don't know if I could decide on one. Maybe Washington just decided on it for me.

he loves him some Darnell Washington. He has had multiple Fantasy relevant games right now. I'm looking at two against Cleveland Cincinnati. He put up nine points, ten points here against the other game against Cincinnati, he's getting in the end zone. You just you have to love that from a man that size. Oh my gosh, I'm picking one tight end from the Steelers. I think I gotta go Patti Fryes right realistically, but do I have Darneld Washington stashed away in a couple of leagues? Yes, I do, Yes,

I do. And also to can I just say, can we just that I've watched that clip of that thirty yard run where he just just throwing the Bengals left and right. You know, I've watched it probably a hundred times, and I just I cannot get enough of it. It

just makes my day every time I see it. Just just put and the last one I forgot who it was, but the Steelers guy that were like running kind of like diagonal towards him, and the Steelers guy pushes the guy in front of Darnell and he just like just tosses him off to the side, and it just it just brings me so much joy. I just just enjoy that that clip so much.

a touchdown. Six nothing bills because Matt Prater missed the extra point wide left nine to eleven ago in the first quarter six years Buffalo as Yeah, and now I got to check to see how many trader in this week, which is hopefully too many.

about both Lloyd and Reid. Since they're still on injured reserve, they can't work out with the team, but they were working up both really good sweats, the hardest Schneidman has seen them work out this whole offseason, and that was last week. Right. The fact that that Lloyd and Reid are this close, that are working out this hard, means that they're this close to being activated. The question for Lloyd here is what kind of a backfield is he

coming back into. Josh Jacobs said, worst case scenario he misses the Vikings game, well, that means you're playing against Detroit on Thursday. And again we're taking the injury analysis from the player, which I know normally don't like to do. But Matt Lafleur has refused to rule out Josh Jacobs yet this week. So let's say Lloyd gets his practice window opened up next week. Let's say he's active for

the Lions game. Emmanuel Wilson's looked really good, I think for what Chris Brooks does for this backfield in the limited amount of stamps that he's in, but what he's asked to do, whether it be past block or catch a pass or pick up a few yards, he's been very good as well. I don't know how Marshawn Lloyd

figures into this. I have him on IR in a couple of Dynasty leagues and I'm wondering when he gets back if I have to activate, and I'm like, god, I don't know how relevant he's going to be in this Packers backfield.

looked really good. So I don't know that he would be fantasy relevant unless you know, God forbid something tragic happened. But yeah, I really wouldn't count on him this season. I maybe I want to see what he's got a little bit, you know, just going forward, maybe for next year for some dynasty purposes. But I don't think I'm going to rely on him at all, And I don't I don't even know that it's worth like a deeply dart throw waiver ad at this point.

If you want Austin Jefferson on your team, you cannot have Aaron Jones. It's one of the things that makes the f FPC Weekly Challenge so much fun. The Thursday challenges closed, the Sunday one is still open. No draft, no salary cap. Just pick whatever ten players or twelve players you want if you want to play with kickers and defenses and let them ride throughout the weekend. Again, just one player per team. You can play in ten thirty one hundred team contest went up to twenty five

hundred dollars. Register now my f FPC dot com. That's m y FFPC dot com. Going to a break in the action here on Amazon Prime as we wait for the Texans to get the ball back, we will also take a quick break in the action. We are gonna

do some starter sits when we come back. We're gonna talk about ty J. Spears, We're gonna talk about DJ Moore, Taysom Hill we will talk about as well as Trevor Lawrence, Stacey Perez, Fantasy and Frames player profiler and Dynasty d Jens joins me on the f FPC Insider Access show. Your start Sick questions answered right after this on the Better Sports Network.

my favorite. If you're like me and you're tired of the constraints of salary caps, or having to do a draft to make a team, or even having to play against these people that are stacking up the same team, stacking up certain games and you feel like you have to put in a million entries or or have to have those certain stacks to win, then come play over at f FPC. Really, the only main rule that you have to deal with is that you cannot select multiple

players from the same team. I'm going out and I'm trying to find the best of the best of the best players and put them into a lineup, and that's what you can do over at my FFPC. You can go out and you can take the number one running back in Bjon Robinson, and you can also have sakuon Barkley. As long as they're not in the same team, you can put them all into a lineup right. And there's four flexes for this, so there's a lot of flexibility.

There's two different contests, one that has kickers and defenses, one that's just positioned players. Then you also have a bunch of different price boys. You can play at thirty five dollars, one hundred dollars or two hundred dollars buy in and you're going out and you're just picking the absolute chalk plays, maybe sneaking in a little bit of a sleeper. There's somebody that you think can really blow

up that week. And that's how it works. It's one of the best contests out there for the sharpest gamers, and when you win on the FFPC, people take notice. That is where the best high stakes games are. That's where the best experts play, and that's where I play because I want to be an FFPC champion and put that title on me, put the money in my pocket and put that in my bio FFPC Champion and the FFPC Weekly Contest is the best place of play during the season.

with you tonight. Big return after that touchdown by a Buffalo, Jalen Nol gets the ball out to the forty one yard line, and then we see Nick Chubb for seven yards for five yards, and then Jayden Higgins catches a ten yard pass, an incomplete pass to Dalton Schultz, and then Woody Marx gets in the box score with a twelve yard game and then a nineteen yard game. So right now the Texans are threatening. They have the ball first in goal from the Buffalo six marks three carries

for thirty seven yards. Looking pretty good so far. I might have a Texans touchdown to report to you here in a minute. Let's get into some starter sits here tonight, Stacey, and we'll lead off with running backs as we usually do on this show. You can only start one of these players, is it going to be one? DeAndre Swift this week, who is going to be at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Or would you rather play Kenneth Walker, who is at Tennessee in a Golden matchup?

So that's why I think the game script is a little bit better for Ken Walker this week.

with you. I I have a slight lean to Walker over Swift this week, just because of the Kyle Manungai factor as well the latest we have And I can't believe we didn't. I didn't bring this up. This is a This is my fault that we didn't talk about the Isaiah p Echorey status. He ends up getting a was it a full practice or limited practice yesterday? Limited practice today? Which is which is the biggest thing, and apparently wearing a massive brace on it. This is the Colts.

I can't imagine. I can't imagine that he'd be out there. I don't think he would be Which makes Kareem Hunt a little bit more viable this week, Stacy kareem Hunt against the Colts or a guy coming off an ankle injury himself. Jalen Warren who is at the Bears this week. Jalen Warren did return to practice today.

that's really ugly. So you're just hoping that he is gonna like bully his weight into the touchdown into the end zone. So I don't love that I'd have to rely on that necessarily. And you can throw on the Colts, So I think that's really what Mahomes is going to be doing all day. It's just kind of like throwing the ball, you know. With them their run defense, as far as the Colts go, they're only giving up ninety two yards total, which is the fifth fewest overall in

the league. So I think I'm like in Chicago a little bit more for Jayalen Warren, even though he is coming off that ankle injury. There Bears are allowing one hundred and thirty three rushing yards per game. I'm not even sure it's really even you know, gonna matter who's under center at the situation. I think we're leaning towards Rogers, right, I think Rogers is gonna play okay. I mean, and let's be real, even with a broken hand, he's still

better than Mason Rudolph. So I'm not really sure that that really even makes a difference, but I think I'm definitely gonna have to leave towards Warren here.

I think it's Warren over Hunt. I know Britchard Smith's snaps have been descending downward for whatever reason, but I still think it's warrant update on the game here tonight. So I mentioned that the Bills had a first goal for the six, Woody Marx gets it down to the one and then an incomplete pass to Jalen Knowle and another incomplete pass to Christian Kirk and it is a Kaiimi fair baron field goal from twenty four yards out.

So here we go state the fair baron field goals are starting to three now for the Bills, who are going to get the ball back four point thirty two to go in the first quarter here on Thursday Night Football.

Tony Powllard in that Titans backfield. They are hosting the Seattle Seahawks this week is tay J Spears and then Tyler Algier is in New Orleans this week again with Kirk Cousins in at quarterback. Adam Levitan from Established the Run said this past week, you cannot start Tis, but you cannot cut ty J. Spears either, because of what could happen with this backfield if one of these guys were going to go down to give him a little bit of a rebuttal, I think I might play Spears

this week over Elgier. How do you feel about it?

London's ol. Darnell Mooney will get to him in a second, but he's not impressed. This was a run first offense to begin with, and it is going to be a run only offense. I kind of think back there with cousins now, So I think this is one of those we talked about, you know, running back committees that we could start. We'd feel comfortable starting both guys. I think I feel comfortable starting both Algeria and Robinson this week.

f FPC main event and Big Gorilla right now. He has several teams in contention, and by incontention, I mean like in the top thirty, the top twenty five team, and one of them this year. So the fact that you have to play Right or Mitchell, I hope this is not from one of your good teams, Bill, But to answer your question, and I can't believe I'm answering this question, tight end premium, I'm playing brock right non

tight end premium, I'm playing ad Ni Mitchell. I think that's why I leave it on this Stacy.

have taken a break on Amazon Prime. We will not take a break here as we press on to wide receiver questions here, start or sit one of these two players here, Stacey Perez, are you looking at starting up? Well, I should ask you this. I'll phrase it this way. Who would you rather start? Between Darnell Mooney or Xavier Worthy? Two players we've talked about on the show tonight. Mooney at New Orleans, Xavier Worthy against the Colts, and just to be a fair Exavier Worthy. I haven't seen the

practice report today. He's dealing with an ankle injury. He was slated to at least practice today. Mooney versus Worthy this this week? Who you got?

Kirk Cousins has looked terrible the games that he's been in there, So I don't really, you know, have any sort of faith that that passing offense is really going to do anything. And I think you have to downgrade everybody, including cal Pitts, you know, again. I just think this is going to be such a run heavy offense for the foul Flkins going forward, no matter the matchup. I can't I can't feel comfortable starting any of those guys

sending him. Got to go with Worthy there, even on a bum ankle, I think I gotta go Worthy.

glean anything. Just on first glance on this, he gets hit from behind by and I don't know who that was, but he's immediately writhing in pain. He is slamming his feet down into the turf. He's not really holding anything, maybe shaking his right hand a little bit, holds his left hand still pounding his feet into the turf. I wonder if he knows, you know, something happened on this play. I think that's why we've gone to a time out. Shakira is getting checked for a concussion according to Tom Smith,

and the Bills have now punted. Uh, the Texans will take over from their own thirty four. Just watching the replay here, and he lands pretty hard on that right forearm maybe right hand. He grimaces immediately. I can't see who the guy was who hit him from Yeah, all right, so Anderson, this is the IDP and you should have answered that question about and before ask.

like he's being looked at by trainers there. It looks like they're talking to him, but they're not really looking at it.

not helped Dj Moore at all. When you look at these two players again, if you can only start one of them, is it Dj Moore at home against Pittsburgh this week Stacey or Jacoby Myers on the road against the Arizona Cardinals.

receptions on nine targets. You know, you look at Chicago, there's just so many other weapons, There's so many other options. Like you just mentioned. You know, Burden is kind of coming on a little bit. His numbers are going up. DJ Moore has just been really frustrating this year. You've got level and kind of deciding to come on now

a little bit more too. So I I just tend to think, if I've got to pick one of these guys, I feel like Myers is going to have the better day, you know, just that connection, that that veteran presence that he kind of brings to that offense for Trevor Lawrence to rely on as opposed to DJ Moore in a situation where there's just too many male to feed to make him fantasy relevant.

that Donald Moore targets did Jacoby Myers. You know, the great thing about him is he is this this high floor type of player, so it certainly makes sense to play him this week over more, speaking of the Bears, Luther Burden or one Greg Dortch, who was the beneficiary or one of the beneficiaries of a record setting performance by Jacoby Brissett last week? Burden or George Burden against the Steelers doors? This week? Who is playing against the I just had it the Jacksonville Jen.

Jacoby Brissett gonna throw for one hundred times a game. Again, No, he's probably not is he probably's probably gonna throw for a lot, you know, just because he has been the last few games. But I don't know that that necessarily translates into higher points for Greg Georch I gotta I think I'm gonna go with Burden. He's been coming on, just more positive things going in his way the last few games. Snap percentages increasing over the last two weeks.

You know, we talked about, you know, the rooky wide receivers kind of coming on in that second half of the game. I think that's really what you're seeing to start happen from Burden. They're kind of putting him into that wide receiver two role. They're behind a doomsday and that's what I think is going to be. That the future for the Bears going forward is those two guys Loveland. You know you're going to see like these younger guys,

you know, Gelling with Williams. So, you know, not starting more, but I feel more comfort starting Burden. I think this week in that scenario.

Give me the guy who has the higher ceiling, give me the big play guy. That's not Greg Dortch's game. That's Luther Burden's game. And Greg Dorsch six for sixty six last week. If you're anti Satan, stay away from George and go ahead and play with Yeah, bad vibes for sure. Absolutely, Noah fant Mace, I beg your pardon

Harold Fannin or Juwan Johnson this week. Let's assume tight end premium leagues for this as we look at the tight end portion of the starter sit a segment of our podcast tonight, Juwan Johnson is at home against the Falcons Harold Fannin at Las Vegas.

the ball out to fan and enough. And I don't really I don't know that I've seen enough of their connection yet. I know he and Dylan Gabriel had a really good connection. He really enjoyed throwing to the tight ends, both him and Djoku. You know, it's not him this week at Sanders, So I'm going to need to see a little bit more before i feel comfortable starting Fannin. You know, with Johnson, you know, Shihet is gone now, so he steps into that second option there behind the lave.

You you know, you kind of like that. I think volume in this situation is going to win it for me, you know, just because you know they are going to be throwing the ball, and you know, I think the Falcons do still have a pretty decent defense even though their offense is just completely tanked, you know, and they're going to be focused on a Lave a lot, So I think it kind of opens up more options for Jawan Johnson.

For me, it's gonna be sharbon Ay unless Warren doesn't play, which it seems like he's trending to to play this week. I'm gonna eat my charms, as JJ Zacherison would say, and I'm gonna play Sharbone here this week.

with the Bills holding a six to three lead. The last well, let's let's go through the last few here rapid fire, just to make sure I get all this stuffe Taysom Hill or Luke Musgrave. I am going Musgrave here.

a half times per game, So I like that. And I think Sam Darnold's the last couple of games, I don't know what's going on with him. It's like he's trying to be the second coming up. What was it Nathan Peterman who threw for so many interceptions?

point four, which is terrible. I just don't like the East Coast team going over to the West Coast. I like a divisional matchup a little bit better. And I got to be a homer here. I'm going to take your own Love.
