[Matthew Berry]

Is he tap dancing? What's Peacocky doing? He's doing a little shuffle there.

[Lawrence]

This is a big one.

[Matthew Berry]

Yep.

[Lawrence]

Go off, Peacock.

[Matthew Berry]

The Harlem Shuffle. You've heard it. It's the robot shuffle, the Stanford shuffle.

[Dev]

There you go.

[Matthew Berry]

He doing the robot. Look at him. Oh, nice. Is there anything Peacocky can't do? You and I are gonna go to a park. We're gonna have people tip you. All right, great. Yeah, yeah. And then we're gonna go get drunk and pekaki. Fantasy Football Happy hour with Matthew Berry.

[Lawrence]

Welcome to the Fantasy football Happy hour. And more importantly, welcome to the fourth annual Peacockies. That's right. Yeah, we're dressed for it. We're ready to hand out some awards, our fantasy awards, some surprises along the way, and apparently a guest at the end of the show that we have. I don't know who it is. I don't know if you know.

[Matthew Berry]

I don't know who it is. None of us know who it is.

[Lawrence]

What are the betting odds on who the guest is?

[Jay]

Well, I thought it was gonna be Joe Flacker. I made him the favorite, but I'm not. We've flown Joe Flacco in there.

[Lawrence]

Seems out of our budget.

[Jay]

That would be quite a shock if Joe Flacco.

[Lawrence]

I was thinking more like big show or medium show.

[Matthew Berry]

That's what I think it is. But I'll say, I will say this, by the way, just in terms of the opening that we just saw. I did in fact get drunk with Peacocky after The show last year. Here's the footage of us. Yeah. We were just. We were hanging out. We got married. We just kind of.

[Lawrence]

It's a shot.

[Matthew Berry]

We're both hammered in this video right here. We're just. Yeah. We're just like.

[Jay]

What is this?

[Rotopat]

I don't want to.

[Matthew Berry]

Want to tell you what happened after this video.

[Dev]

Yeah, don't tell us.

[Matthew Berry]

But it was. It was one beautiful night in Stamford is all I'm going to say.

[Lawrence]

Took the pickup line.

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Anyway, but Peacockey is back with us.

[Lawrence]

That's what I've heard.

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah. So we're very excited about that. It is. It is. For my money. And I don't think there's any pushback on this. It is the most prestigious and the most famous fake football award show starring a large bird.

[Jay]

Yes.

[Matthew Berry]

In the land.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[Dev]

Can't beat it.

[Jay]

Yeah. Should we explain what we're wearing?

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Lawrence]

Don't really know how we came up.

[Matthew Berry]

With the idea, but I don't know.

[Jay]

What'S going on with Lawrence's hat.

[Matthew Berry]

Lauren's always.

[Dev]

I thought this was. I thought this was a date party.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah, kinda.

[Lawrence]

It kinda is.

[Dev]

Thought he was gonna have cabanas and all that stuff.

[Matthew Berry]

The rest of us imagine it. Yeah.

[Jay]

The thing is, you can't say the hat is very wrinkled.

[Matthew Berry]

It's very wrinkled hat.

[Jay]

Which.

[Dev]

Can you tell on it?

[Jay]

I think my 3 year old daughter.

[Matthew Berry]

Rio has that hat.

[Jay]

I don't know where hers is. She might have seen it lately. She might have stol.

[Matthew Berry]

She might have stolen from her. But the rest of us are just. We said let's. Let's do jerseys and blazers.

[Jay]

Yeah. So I'm obviously wearing the legendary jersey of Minnesota Vikings legend Cam Akers. 435 career rushing yards for said Minnesota Vikings.

[Dev]

Yeah.

[Matthew Berry]

Nice.

[Jay]

Four touchdowns total from Scrooge. So, yeah, I just want to pay my. Pay homage to Vikings. Great.

[Lawrence]

I went with Reavis Island. A man that killed many fantasy hopes and games. Yes, for sure.

[Jay]

Oh, so you chose a good player.

[Matthew Berry]

Yes. Yeah, we decided to go obscure. I'm going with Terrell Pryor.

[Lawrence]

Wow.

[Matthew Berry]

Had one year, one year that he's a wide receiver for the Browns, but also played a lot of quarterback and was a fantasy superstar. Was a big waiver wire pickup. He had one year of fantasy relevancy. One hit wonder. So we honor the memory of terrell Pryor. Number 11. Number 11 for the Browns. But number one in your heart.

[Dev]

Over a thousand yards receiving.

[Matthew Berry]

Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Over a thousand yards receiving. And got your points at quarterback because he played at least five or six snaps at quarterback each.

[Lawrence]

OG Taysom Hill.

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah, 100% with more consistent playing time. He had one year and then he was overdrafted the next year.

[Dev]

Yeah, I'm just doing anything. I'm former Falcons GM Terry Fotneau. That's. That's me.

[Lawrence]

He's got time to day party as well.

[Dev]

Yeah, he's at a day party.

[Matthew Berry]

He's at that day party. That's your resume in front of you.

[Dev]

Yeah, I'm looking. Browns. Hey, Browns.

[Matthew Berry]

Come on, let me look at that. Thousand percent.

[Lawrence]

Let's waste no time. The first category is the fantasy game of the year. And the nominees are Jameer Gibbs. Week 12 against the G Men where he went nuclear for over 55 fantasy points. Jonathan Taylor, week 10 against the Falcons where he almost had 50 points.

[Matthew Berry]

Puka Nakua against Lawrence's Falcons.

[Lawrence]

That's right. Hookah nkua in Week 16 against the Seahawks where he had 12 catches for 225 yards down the end zone twice.

[Matthew Berry]

In the fantasy playoffs.

[Lawrence]

Derrick Henry, right on time. In week 17 against Green Bay, over 45 fantasy points and over 200 rushing yards fell in the end zone four times. Kyle Pitts. Kyle Pitts is a. Yeah, Kyle Pitts, the most unlikely nominee came alive.

[Matthew Berry]

Bird up bird.

[Lawrence]

Week 15 against the Bucs, over 45 fantasy points, some honorable mentions.

[Matthew Berry]

I wonder if you think Peacockey is a fan of the Falcons. You know, birds of a feather, all that.

[Lawrence]

You could argue. Seahawks. You could argue.

[Dev]

How about say, Peacocky being the playoffs?

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah, it's fair.

[Lawrence]

Seahawks colors. I don't know.

[Jay]

The Falcons eat other birds. They're quite large. So maybe Peacocky fears.

[Matthew Berry]

I don't know. Something to think about.

[Lawrence]

The honorable mentions were Trevor Lawrence, Brock Bowers and Josh Allen, who all topped the 40 point mark at some point this season. Of course, the fans have a vote in this. So let's take a look at how the fan vote came in for each nominee. As you see, the fans went with Derek Henry.

[Dev]

Wow. There you go.

[Lawrence]

Tight race. Very tight.

[Matthew Berry]

Very tight race. Like I think you can certainly make an argument for. Honestly, all of them, even Kyle Pitts, even though no one started him that week 15 when he went off. But why don't we be cocky? You want to bring out who the winner is. So it's a combination of both the fan vote and of course then our esteemed panel, which is just, oh, look here, Peacocky with the strut. With the strut. Yeah. Hand it to somebody. Peacocky. All right, there we go. To Connor Rogers. Turn around. It's a TV show. Peacocky. Look at the camera. There we go. All right. Nodded us. There we go. Wow. Now we're talking there. Platinum Livings. Thank you, Peacock. Peacocky or Brock Purdy.

[Lawrence]

Definitely authority. All right.

[Matthew Berry]

We should put him in our TikTok videos that we do.

[Jay]

He's a dirty bird.

[Lawrence]

Fantasy Game of the Year and the winner is Derrick Henry.

[Matthew Berry]

There we go. The King Henry.

[Lawrence]

The fantasy game of the year. Guys.

[Matthew Berry]

Connor was the most player most fantasy points by a player in Week 17 since Mike Evans did it in 2022 when he had over 48 points. Six players since 2000 to score 45 or more fantasy points in Week 17 and his seventh career game with 200 or more rushing yards. That's the most in NFL history. Some people in this table thought he should be benched for Keaton Mitchell. Luckily for fantasy managers, John Harbaugh thought that John Harbaugh did cost him a job. J still employed. Not sure how that works out, but somehow Derrick Henry is the proud owner of a Peacocky award and the reason that I did not win my 16 team league. I faced him in the finals. Anyone that faced Derrick Henry or had Derrick Henry ended up winning or losing cost me a championship but did allow me to crush Connor in the seventh place game. Never forget that. Actually did.

[Lawrence]

But yes, that's right.

[Jay]

Shameful lack of respect for Jonathan Taylor's game against the Falcons. I thought apparently no one woke up for the ninth 30am game in Berlin where he beat Lawrence's Falcons by himself. But yeah, Derek Henry I think because of the timing and also this is fairly somewhat unexpected because it was, you know, Tyler Huntley offense. You weren't expecting Henry to be so efficient. But yeah, he dragged teams to championships.

[Matthew Berry]

You'd have thought. Matt LaFleur said, you know what, let's see if Tyler Huntley can beat us. Let's put eight in the box and do what we can.

[Jay]

Lawrence.

[Dev]

But they did not be interesting too because clearly Derrick Henry still got it just turned 32 years old. So where does he fall next year? When we talk about, you know, what is it, RB5, RB6, 7, 8. We know, we know he's not going to get the receiving volume too.

[Jay]

I actually think it's going to be Kate in Mitchell's backfield next year.

[Dev]

He said one of these days I.

[Matthew Berry]

Will just say this. Wherever Derrick Henry ends up getting drafted next year, it will be wrong. He will. Because I think he'll be. I actually don't think he'll go that high. Lawrence, I think he'll probably be in the running back 12 to 16 range. I think he'll be an RB2.

[Dev]

I would like him right now.

[Matthew Berry]

People say like again you have a new coach and just you know, older doesn't get the passing work, blah blah blah blah blah. And he'll either, he'll either way outperform that or completely fall off a cliff. Like I just sort of feel like wherever he gets drafted there's no chance that he finishes that.

[Lawrence]

That where, that where he gets to the extremes.

[Jay]

I wonder if Derrick Henry has outperformed ADP every year of his career outside of the year that he got hurt where he broke his foot. I imagine he may have.

[Matthew Berry]

I don't think he has because he was drafted very high for a long time. You know what I mean? And I mean this year, I mean.

[Dev]

This year he's a top running back and he. I don't think the Ravens years there started because that's, I mean when you get let go from a team it's going to be some questions. And then he ran for almost 2,000 yards. So.

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah, yeah.

[Lawrence]

How about our next category guys? Best value pick. And the nominees are. Trevor Lawrence. ADP was quarterback 26. He finished as a top five fantasy quarterback. His teammate Travis Etienne Jr. Was drafted as RB36. He finished in the top 15 running backs in points per game. Javante Williams. ADP was RB45. He finished his RB11.

[Matthew Berry]

People just left him for dead.

[Lawrence]

Yep, we did as well.

[Jay]

I don't think anyone really was on the Javante band.

[Lawrence]

I took him in League of Assholes.

[Matthew Berry]

Yes you did.

[Lawrence]

And got me an eighth place finish. So really proud of that. Chris Alave, drafted as wide receiver 34 finished a very impressive top 10 season in points per game. How about Kyle Pitts again two time nominee already. Kyle Pitts, he was drafted as the 21st tight end in fantasy football. He finished as tight end four in points per game.

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah, some of the honorable mentions here you think about Drake May who was on my team, my seventh place team. George Pickens, Zay Flowers. How about Dallas Goddard as well who very quietly just you know had a very strong year in a year in where the Eagles offense didn't was fairly inconsistent.

[Dev]

Dallas Goddard outperformed ADP even in the playoff game. They just lost. He's, they're giving him reverses. He scores the touchdown pass, 11 receiving touchdowns. Leading the team that has A.J. brown and Devonta Smith so.

[Matthew Berry]

And Saquon Barkley it's interesting that a team that has Saquon, AJ Brown and Devontae Smith says, you know, who needs the ball? Dallas Goddard. Yeah.

[Jay]

Hard to believe.

[Dev]

I mean, he come up big. He tried, you know, he did try.

[Jay]

Great operation there in Philly. Season on the line. And it's come of running for four votes.

[Matthew Berry]

Feels like there'll be some changes to the. To the coaching staff here, but a lot of great nominees. But why don't we. Let's get the fan vote. Let's the fan vote. Yes.

[Lawrence]

Take a look at the fan vote and then we'll get the official winner.

[Matthew Berry]

No respect for Kyle Pitts. Terrible.

[Lawrence]

The fans are all over Javante Williams.

[Matthew Berry]

I think that's a good. They feel burned by Kyle Pitts for so many years.

[Lawrence]

There is a lot of hate.

[Matthew Berry]

They hate him.

[Dev]

Do they not know what he did for my team in the league of assholes this year?

[Matthew Berry]

Well, I don't think they care. But I like, I get the argument for Javonte Williams again. Running back 45. There are a lot of backups that were drafted ahead of him right there. 44 different running backs were drafted ahead of Javante Williams and he finishes as an RB1 as a top 12 running back. So I get the fans voting for Javante Williams. Let's see who actually wins the Peacocky, whether it's Javante or somebody else. Come on in.

[Dev]

Pikaki.

[Matthew Berry]

Again, look at the camera. We're. We're a TV show. For the love of God. Boil your way in here. Boil your way in. There we go. There we go. Pikaki. Oh, my God. Are you. Did you just puke? What's going on? I don't know what's happening. All right, thank you very much. Thank you, Pikaki. All right. It's outrageous. All right, shake your tail for the little bit. There we go. All right. There you go. Very disturbing. Yeah, for the next one, Peacocky maybe learn the gritty or something. All right. And the best value pick, Peacocky goes to Chris Olavich. Yeah, a shucking upset.

[Jay]

Yeah. My dad disagree with the voters.

[Matthew Berry]

With the voters. I mean, look, this is a guy that was top five among wide receivers in targets and receptions. 12 or more fantasy points in 75% of the games. He had 20 or more fantasy points in all three playoffs weeks. I think that's what put him over the top. Jay, is because not only was he an amazing value pick, but he was consistent throughout the fantasy playoffs. Like the way you win fantasy often is by nailing some of these Value picks late in your draft. And so a lobby not only was a huge value throughout the year, but especially leading teams to the title. I think that would be the argument.

[Jay]

The first Tyler Shock Merchant and perhaps the first of many. Lava was awesome down the stretch. Hope he's okay after his injury that didn't allow him to play Week 18. I would have actually gone George Pickens here because George Pickens in a wide receiver three on the season is really only Jason and Pook and the Cool. He was supposed to be a distant wide receiver two on his own team and ended up being one of the best the most valuable receivers in football. So he would have been my vote.

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah. Well, anyway.

[Lawrence]

So Jay taking a dump on the committee caches.

[Matthew Berry]

Exactly.

[Lawrence]

Yeah.

[Jay]

Cristo Lava. Travesty. Not since Crash beat Brokeback Mountain, which I believe was the inspiration for whatever that intro was with you and Peacockey. But yeah, no, I disagree with the committee here.

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah, it is. We have a. Yeah, it's a. Yeah. Peacocky Broke Mountain.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[Matthew Berry]

Broken broke. Peacocky Mountain.

[Lawrence]

Lawrence.

[Dev]

Congrats to Chris Olave.

[Lawrence]

Congrats Chris Olave.

[Matthew Berry]

Chris Olavi. By the way, I feel like Jay, the reference should have been there. We haven't been this much of a travesty since Joe Flacco beat Jamar Hamlin. Comeback player of the year.

[Jay]

That was second on my list. Third on my list was Shakespeare in Love over Saving Private Ryan. I got more. There'll be more travesties to come, I'm sure.

[Lawrence]

How about this category, guys? I like this one a lot. Best waiver wire pickup. And the nominees are. Matthew Stafford, 12% drafted. He finished his QB3. Kenneth Gainwell.

[Matthew Berry]

Yes, sir.

[Dev]

Gotta be him.

[Lawrence]

Was barely drafted. He finishes RB19. Yeah. Robinson 4% drafted. He finishes a top 15 wide receiver. How about Michael Wilson finishing as wide receiver 6 to me it's got to be Michael Wilson because he wasn't drafted.

[Matthew Berry]

At all and finishes the top. And you knew though, and you knew the weeks to start him. That was the other thing is.

[Lawrence]

Well, and he might have single handedly got some teams into the playoffs with those nuclear performances. Harold Fannin, by the way, also a nominee at 4% drafted.

[Matthew Berry]

The modern day Terrell Pryor.

[Lawrence]

Harold New Terrell Pryor.

[Dev]

Yeah.

[Lawrence]

Honorable mentions.

[Matthew Berry]

He threw a pass, didn't he? I feel like he did.

[Jay]

I don't remember inventing passes now.

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah, I thought he did.

[Dev]

No, I think that what you're referring to. It might have been a receiver that did that. I don't remember it being Fanny.

[Matthew Berry]

Is it Jerry Judy. No, no, no. Anyway, among the honorable mentions here, Jackson Dart, Jacoby Brissette. Michael Wilson's quarterback, Rico Dowdle. Surprised Rico Dowdle didn't make the official nominees. Your man, Alec Pierce. Jay. And of course, Juwan Johnson, who should never have been on the waiver wire, should always be drafted. The great Juwan Johnson here. So, I mean, a lot of great nominees here. I think Wilson would have been my choice here. You're saying Gainwell.

[Dev]

Yeah. I'm just looking at this list and I'm like, I'm just very disappointed I couldn't win the league of Kenneth Gainwell. Wondell Robinson. Michael Wilson just. Just saw a great guy.

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah.

[Dev]

Gardner Minshew. No Gardner Minshew. Gardner Minchu instead of Shador.

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah.

[Dev]

See what happens when you go against your friends?

[Lawrence]

That's exactly right.

[Matthew Berry]

That is what happened. Well, let's look at the fan vote. Let's look at the fan.

[Lawrence]

I would imagine Michael Wilson's a popular pick on the fan vote.

[Matthew Berry]

Yes, rightfully so.

[Dev]

We ain't mad at it.

[Lawrence]

The regulars know what they're doing.

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah.

[Lawrence]

Matthew Stafford, the runner up. Fan voting. And then a distant field of Gainwell.

[Matthew Berry]

No love for Wandell Robinson and Fannin.

[Lawrence]

Yeah. Very underappreciated.

[Matthew Berry]

Very underappreciated. I thought Jackson Dart could have made this list as well, but. All right, Peacocky.

[Lawrence]

He'll be on our next category.

[Matthew Berry]

Let's bring out the Peacocky. Do we have. Do we have a gritty?

[Lawrence]

Yep.

[Dev]

All right.

[Matthew Berry]

Not on the camera. Hang on. Do it again.

[Jay]

All right.

[Matthew Berry]

There we go.

[Jay]

Oh, boy.

[Matthew Berry]

That's. I don't Peacock the gritty.

[Jay]

I'll take the envelope.

[Matthew Berry]

Just give it a J for love of God. Very good.

[Jay]

Thank you very much.

[Dev]

Do the moonwalk. Try that one next time.

[Matthew Berry]

Since Mike is sick. He tried it. All right.

[Jay]

Best wave of wide pickup. Oh, no. It's another Travis Steep. Matthew Stafford.

[Matthew Berry]

You know you can't. Boo.

[Dev]

Think about this. This is a quarterback. You want to give Matthew Stafford the real life mvp. Cool. Absolutely right. But a waiver wire quarterback that we.

[Matthew Berry]

Know is already good. 12% drafted. 12% drafted. And these numbers, by the way, are on single quarterback leagues, not double, not two quarterback leagues. 12% drafted and finishes at the third best quarterback in fantasy football. Led the NFL in touchdown passes. Led the NFL in passing yards. Led the NFL in terms of fantasy points. In terms of games with 20 or more fantasy points, no quarterback had more than him. He had 10 different games of 20 or more fantasy points. So it was not only huge Points, but consistency there again, Lawrence, part of the seventh place Live at noon on the tune. Not saying I skewed the vote but.

[Dev]

Well, you know, we had some talking going on. Matthew was trying to give me Stafford for James Cook and I was like, hey, I respect that but no, I'm going to ride with my three running backs in these below mid quarterbacks and.

[Matthew Berry]

And where did it wind you up? Same as us with no title. Exactly right. But anyway, Stafford, to be honest, I don't actually have a vote. Like it's done by, you know, the committee. It's done by a committee. The fan vote has a. And then the committee led by Condoleezza Rice. The committee, serious cabal.

[Lawrence]

Former Brown's head coaching camp.

[Matthew Berry]

Condoleezza Rice leads our voting committee here.

[Jay]

Something like how like it was Golden Globes voted on by like Dutch journalists or something. It's the same.

[Matthew Berry]

It's the same. That too. Yeah. And much like the Golden Globes, you can also, you know, bribe them. Yeah, you can bribe them and 100%. So which I guess Matthew Stafford. There's a huge cabal there as well.

[Lawrence]

Let's cleanse the palette of that bad award situation. Rookie of the year.

[Dev]

Okay.

[Lawrence]

No surprise. The first name on this list is Jackson Dart. He was QB6 and points per game since he became the starter in week four. Ashton Genti, not the season you hoped for, but he still finished his RB15. I think a lot of people would be surprised by that. Trebion Henderson got going late. T. Mac Tea McMillan, wide receiver 20. And then Harold Fannin Jr. Again on this list because he was tight end 7 in points per game. A couple honorable mentions. RJ Harvey, Quinshawn Judkins, Ameka Buka had the hot start, as did Tyler Warren.

[Matthew Berry]

Wow. Colston Loveland, nowhere on this list.

[Lawrence]

Got going too late.

[Matthew Berry]

Just got going too late, I guess. I mean, look, I think there's a lot this one. I. I thought Ameca Buka was going to run away with this award at the beginning of the season and just sort of seem to fall off.

[Dev]

Yep.

[Matthew Berry]

Yep.

[Lawrence]

Baker Mayfield's injury kind of coincided with.

[Matthew Berry]

Same with Tyler Warren. Also kind of trailed off a little bit.

[Jay]

Yeah. Not his fault I think given the quarterback situation for my Colts. But it cannot be Ashton Genti. I'm sorry if you underperform. Adp. Yeah, it should be Dart.

[Matthew Berry]

It should. It should be. It should be Dart. As you said, he was a top ever since he became the starter. Basically a top six fantasy quarterback. So we all think it should be Dart. Who do the fans think it should be?

[Lawrence]

So we take a look at the fan vote here.

[Jay]

Wow.

[Matthew Berry]

Teddero McMillan.

[Dev]

Because they're probably thinking like what I was talking about the last one. It's a quarterback. But I actually think in this situation, the quarterback, because he was so good at running the ball and not just getting you yards. He got Jackson Dart. I'm talking about he got you rushing touchdowns. Wasn't a lot of turnovers. Especially when you compare him to the other rookie quarterbacks. And to finish his quarterback six as a rookie and Tedaroy McMillan deserving, but wasn't a guy you felt great about starting every single week.

[Matthew Berry]

That's the thing. I mean, Dart was QB6, Stafford was QB3. But you. You guys think Dart should get the award and Stafford shouldn't. But okay, let's see. It is at least I like the fact that. I like the fact that. That at least genti only got 3% of the vote because I feel like it can't be. And I feel like we had other nominees here that might have been better. But Peacocky, why don't you come out, hand the envelope here. Backing into.

[Lawrence]

There's your moon.

[Matthew Berry]

Careful, Peacock.

[Jay]

Oh, my goodness.

[Matthew Berry]

We can't. We don't need a HR violation.

[Dev]

I don't show pda, man.

[Rotopat]

Wow.

[Matthew Berry]

I'm jealous. He's trying to make me jealous. We had one night in Stanford and now he's trying to make me jealous.

[Dev]

My bad, Peacocky. If you try with Jay, it might work. All right.

[Matthew Berry]

Definitely work with me.

[Dev]

The winner for fantasy rookie of the Year, as we all think it should be. Jackson Dart. There we go.

[Matthew Berry]

Jackson.

[Lawrence]

The committee woke up from their slumber disgraceful group.

[Matthew Berry]

Condoleezza Rice with an iron fist there as well. You mentioned the rushing touchdowns. Only Josh Allen had more Lawrence than this year. He led all quarterbacks in rushing yards per game and had at least 19 fantasy points and 75% of his starts. Despite no Malik neighbors. Wandell Robinson in and out of the lineup. A coaching change midseason. I think the future is very bright for Jackson Dart both for the Giants and in San Diego.

[Dev]

See that too. I didn't even think about. I wouldn't even think about the Malik neighbors aspect of it.

[Matthew Berry]

So yeah, you know IHOP beloved IHOP spokesman Malik Nabors.

[Lawrence]

That's right.

[Matthew Berry]

And friend of the show we interviewed.

[Lawrence]

Who he talked about the quarterback situation, which is kind of ironic. It felt like he was hinting at a Stafford acquisition.

[Matthew Berry]

Yes.

[Lawrence]

But it all worked out. They got Jackson Dart and the future's bright for that pairing.

[Matthew Berry]

They tried. I mean, they tried to get Stafford, they tried hard. It just, you know, ended up. He wound up back in la. It didn't work out well.

[Lawrence]

Stafford might be playing in the super bowl in a couple of weeks.

[Matthew Berry]

He's playing in the super bowl in his last year. And then Jackson Dard obviously won the.

[Dev]

Rookie year and would not have been throwing 46.

[Jay]

One quarterback dies, another lives.

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah, exactly. I'm just telling you. All right, our next category, Prescott's quarterback of the Rams. Next year, mark my words, we'll see.

[Lawrence]

A classic breakout player of the year in fantasy football. Drake may. QB2 in points per game. He led all quarterbacks in yards per game. When you count passing and rushing. Trevor Lawrence, 38 total touchdowns. That was third amongst, third most amongst quarterbacks and led to his QB5 finish. Jackson, Smith and Jigba. Wide receiver two in points per game on the season. George Pickens, who Jay gave a lot of love to earlier career highs and receptions, yards and touchdowns. Wide receiver 5 in points per game. And how about Michael Wilson getting to the thousand yard mark? He had 1100 receiving yards in his first two seasons combined, so massive year for him. A couple honorable mentions. Kyle Pitts, Harold Fannin, Wandell Roberts, all.

[Matthew Berry]

These guys broke out, broke out through the next level. Like, you know, Drake may become a fantasy superstar. So did Trevor Lawrence over the second half of the year. To your point about Pickens, who everyone had sort of thought was kind of this streaky wide receiver three wide receiver two ish kind of guy, became a, you know, a top five guy. Obviously Michael Wilson, who was sitting on waiver wires and ignored for the longest time, but Jackson, Smith and Jigba just became a hammer. Feels like he's the guy for me, you know, in terms of breakout, like just, just such a massive breakout. I think it's either him or Drake May. In terms of breakout, yeah, I think.

[Jay]

It'S jsn Jason, was he drafted in the fourth round? Predominantly a slot receiver who comes the best outside receiver in football. Wide receiver 2 in points per game and stayed healthy the entire season. And also just the fact that, the fact that he could change his role so substantially and be basically 45% of the entire Seahawks passing game unto himself. I think it's jsm.

[Lawrence]

I mean, imagine you said to somebody in August, you know what? I'm going to draft JSN over Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase and CD Lamb. And they'd look at you and be like, wow, that's. I don't think about that breakout like that kind of jump.

[Jay]

And he JSN was sort of in more like the kind of Jordan Addison type of closer to that range than the Jamar Chase range. And now he is. He's the best player on the team. That's a Super bowl favorite.

[Dev]

Right? I would go JSN or actually Michael Wilson to what you just said, Connor. Imagine saying in August, man, I'm going to take Michael Wilson in the ninth round. He'd be like what?

[Matthew Berry]

Or him over Ceedee Lamb. He had more total fantasy points than CD Lamb this year.

[Dev]

And like a guy like Drake May again like I think we all talked about like he breakout.

[Matthew Berry]

He was on the preseason love list.

[Dev]

We knew he had that rushing upside because he showed that last season and Jackson Smith the jig. But we kind of. We was questioning the quarterback situation. We was questioning could Sam Darnold do it again. Well, damn it, they got a buy. So he did it again to some degree. So I would go Jackson Smith and Jigba too. My. My close second would be Michael Wilson here.

[Lawrence]

Let's take a look at the fan vote for breakout player of the year. We'll see if Michael Wilson can take this one. And wow. Jackson Smith and Jigba 60%. That's our biggest fan vote I think we've had yet. Trevor Lawrence with 1%. Drake May the runner up from the fan voting at 29%. Peacocky. Make your way over here.

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah. Getting 1% a little.

[Lawrence]

You know, I think the bar for a quarterback breakout is just different.

[Matthew Berry]

Look at Peacock. You getting the crowd into it, getting it firing up the crowd. Yeah. Let's go, let's go, let's go. Oh, the Fighting Peacockis.

[Dev]

Thank you.

[Lawrence]

Pikaki. Breakout player of the year. That was close.

[Matthew Berry]

That was very close. Pikaki is going to knock over. I'm going to be.

[Lawrence]

And the Peacocky goes to for breakout player of the year, Jackson Smith.

[Matthew Berry]

Congratulations once again, friend of the show. That's probably our special guest here in the third not preparing for his game against the Niners on this weekend. The other thing about JSN is I remember when they signed Cooper cup and we were like, well that makes no sense because like Jason is best in the slot and now you've got Cooper cup the slot guy. And so what do you. So right. They moved around think about all the things like so you're like not sure about the role with Cooper cup they get and they gave Cooper cup real money. So clearly the Seahawks thought that Cooper cup still had something left. Then you're like new offense coordinator in Clint Kubiak. You're not sure what's going to happen there. Oh, by the way, Sam Darnold, like, was he a product of Kevin o' Connell system or could Sam Darnold get the ball and support JSN to this kind of level? And no one sort of thought we liked him, you know, as a sleeper, but no one thought he would be second only to Puka Nakua, that he would just be an absolute fantasy superstar and lead the NFL in receiving yards. Yep.

[Lawrence]

All right, our next category, guys, is a tough one. It is the biggest bust of the fantasy football season. And the nominees are Lamar Jackson.

[Matthew Berry]

A lot of people thought Jay Crouch was going to make this.

[Jay]

Oh, wow.

[Lawrence]

Brutal.

[Jay]

Savage.

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah, I mean, the Keaton Mitchell over Derek Henry take. We'll follow you for a while.

[Jay]

People do talk about me in the same breath as Lamar Jackson and Saquon Barkley pretty frequently.

[Lawrence]

Lamar Jackson, drafted as the second quarterback. He finished his QB15. Saquon Barkley, drafted as the second running back. He finished his RB14. Ashton Genty taken as RB6. He finished his RB15. I think these ones are way more brutal. Justin Jefferson, to no fault of his own, was drafted as wide receiver 2. He finished as wide receiver 28. Brian Thomas Jr. Was a very, very common pick for breakout player. Instead, it went the other way. He was drafted as the seventh wide receiver. He didn't finish it within the top 40 wide receivers. Some other honorable mentions. Tough year for Ladd McConkey, Marvin Harrison Jr. Xavier Worthy and Baker Mayfield.

[Matthew Berry]

Xavier Worthy was like my 4th or 5th round pick in the league of assholes. It's one of the reasons why I had to compete for a seventh round. It's a bad title. Yeah, it was a bad pick. There's no question about that. I think, I mean, Genti, given the hype is. I mean, I feel like the last three that we mentioned, like Jackson and Barkley weren't as good as their adp, but like they were still usable in fantasy.

[Lawrence]

Same with Genti.

[Matthew Berry]

Genti was.

[Dev]

Saquon was good in the fantasy playoffs.

[Lawrence]

That's right. The last two is like Jefferson.

[Jay]

I think Brian Thomas. I would go Brian Thomas.

[Lawrence]

I don't think it's close.

[Dev]

I will, I will. Because Brian Thomas messed around and dropped to the wide receiver three on his team.

[Lawrence]

You were probably looking at the board and you're like, here. JSN Brian Thomas Jr. One one year league, the other lost year league.

[Matthew Berry]

That's 100% fair. Why don't we see who the fans voted here? The. The fan vote for bust of the year. Let me bring that up. And the. But they all think it's close one receivers.

[Dev]

Yeah.

[Matthew Berry]

Jefferson at 41%, Brian Thomas Jr. At 36%, Lamar at 12, Barkley at 5, Genty at 6. I mean Genti was a. Well, Genty was a first round pick but he was just felt like he was so brutal and like that. The, you know that three touchdown game that sort of I think elevates him on the point going basis just week in, week out. He just wasn't great. So Jefferson is the pick of the. Of the fans. I think that's where I might go as well. You say Brian Thomas. Let's see who the actual Peacocky goes to here. And we. If we can, we'll get up the full screen. Here's the Pekake coming up with a different move. He's just sort of trying to fly. He can't. He can't fly. Thank you. Pikaki. Good to see you. Don't hide your head in shame. There you go. All right, go ahead. I don't know what's going on on top of his head there by the way. I don't want to look at that next time. All right. The Pikaki.

[Dev]

Fresh. Fresh aircut.

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah, I guess so. Something like that.

[Jay]

Like Junior Soprano, like you did in Pittsburgh.

[Matthew Berry]

That's a little better.

[Lawrence]

All right.

[Matthew Berry]

The picocky for bust of the year goes to Justin Jefferson, friend of the show. No fault of his own.

[Lawrence]

There goes that.

[Matthew Berry]

I would argue this.

[Lawrence]

It's not radio row.

[Matthew Berry]

I don't think it is. I don't think it is Justin Jefferson's fault. I think it is the fault of the quarterback and the offense. We still think Justin Jefferson talent wise is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. I think here's why the the committee led by Condoleezza Rice voted Justin Jefferson bust of the year. Right? Only two touchdowns. Right. That was a career low. He's one of only two players to see 140 or more targets and score fewer than eight touchdowns. And he had two. Right. And J.J. mcCarthy's 10 starts, he averaged 11 fantasy points. He had under 55 receiving yards. And here's why I think he's bust of the year, guys. Because I agree with you. Brian Thomas Jr. Also brutal. But here's the thing with Brian Thomas Jr. You quickly figured out like you know what not his year. Like they're going Parker Washington then going Jacoby Myers. Even Travis Hunter. But Justin Jefferson, you felt like you had to start every single week because he's Justin Jefferson. I know he's been brutal. I know he's the week. He's been brutal for three weeks. But they're playing the Lions and the Lions are banged up offense and he's Justin Jefferson like you. Just every week you felt like you had to start him, whereas you felt comfortable benching Brian Thomas and even Ashton Genty depending on who you had on your team. So to me, that's why Justin Jefferson is the bust of the year, because he cost you a first round pick and he was always in your lineup and he just always didn't produce the kind of numbers you needed.

[Jay]

Yep, a lot of justification of the committee's suspect decisions over here.

[Lawrence]

Yeah, there's a trend here.

[Matthew Berry]

I think you're a puppet. This committee, the regime, you disagree with.

[Lawrence]

That take I vote Brian Thomas Jr pretty far and away. You drafted a guy to be your wide receiver. 1. And you couldn't play him. You couldn't play him.

[Dev]

I will say this. I've said something about the previous awards, about the quarterbacks and how it's easier for them to get that even, you know, Lamar is in this category and I would say if the quarterback were to get an award, it should probably be this. Because if you're a quarterback, especially when drafted second overall, you finish top 15 in a quarterback in a one quarterback lead. Like that's killing your team right there. So I would say if a quarterback were to get an award in these peacockeys, it should probably be this one.

[Lawrence]

All right, guys. It would not be. There would not be any way to recap our year without revisiting some of our movie takes for a surprise category. Check this out.

[Jay]

Tom Cruise has never won an Oscar either. He's merely nominated like Connor. So Connor and Tom Cruise.

[Matthew Berry]

I think it's because he does crappy movies like magnolia.

[Jay]

It's 82% on rotten tomatoes. You're acting like it's a bad movie.

[Matthew Berry]

The idea that, that it's your favorite movie is insane. That's the biggest. That's the problem I have with it. You don't get to choose my favorite movie. I know I don't get to choose.

[Jay]

I'm the only one who lived my life.

[Matthew Berry]

You've never seen Star Wars?

[Lawrence]

I've seen like one of them when I was a kid. Just does like nothing.

[Matthew Berry]

How are you a red blooded American male and you've never seen Star wars, the original trilogy? Yes. There's actually nine of them, but whatever. I've never seen Godfather 2.

[Jay]

You're a screenwriter in Hollywood?

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah.

[Jay]

Objectively. 10 greatest movies of all time.

[Lawrence]

I'm the asshole in this list because.

[Matthew Berry]

I haven't seen nine stars. Apologize. There you go. So worst movie take of the year nominees.

[Lawrence]

The nominees are. Jay going with Magnolia as his favorite movie. Me not having seen the nine Star wars films.

[Matthew Berry]

No, just Star Wars. Just that you haven't seen Star Wars. A New Hope, the first one.

[Dev]

That might be the best take.

[Lawrence]

Thank you, Lawrence.

[Matthew Berry]

And oh my God, Lawrence.

[Lawrence]

Thank God. Lawrence.

[Dev]

But go ahead.

[Lawrence]

Matthew Berry not seeing The Godfather Part 2. It's just still hard to fathom.

[Matthew Berry]

Did you see part one? I did.

[Dev]

How can you not see part two?

[Matthew Berry]

That's what I don't understand. I felt like it was just on. Like I didn't have any questions.

[Dev]

I even put myself through part three just to, you know.

[Lawrence]

And it was like, well, I tried.

[Dev]

It and I'm good.

[Matthew Berry]

I felt like it was all wrapped up over the first one. I had no questions. I had no questions. I was like, I'm good. Peacocky, why don't you come on out here? Peacocky doing the robot. Nice.

[Lawrence]

That's a fast robot. It's like a euro trip robot.

[Matthew Berry]

All right, I'll grab a peacock.

[Lawrence]

Speaking of great movies.

[Jay]

Thank you very much. Peacock.

[Matthew Berry]

You should Lawrence let Lawrence. Because it's all of our movie takes. Yeah, Lawrence should read this.

[Lawrence]

Cobra Kiger, by the way, said Connor and lj, you guys want to start your own show. You're the third chair. Cobra Kiger.

[Dev]

Worst tape.

[Lawrence]

Wow.

[Dev]

Is Conor never seen Star.

[Matthew Berry]

That's right. That's. Not upset. That's absolutely. Everyone has seen Star Wars.

[Rotopat]

Everyone.

[Matthew Berry]

I have not seen Star Wars.

[Lawrence]

Two people on this desk haven't. Half the desk has not seen Star Wars.

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah. Which is a travesty. Which is awful. And yeah, the three you two go ahead with Cobra Kaiga. It's all relative to ADP.

[Jay]

You not having seen Godfather Part 2 is the biggest disgrace by far. Of those three takes that cost.

[Matthew Berry]

Disagree. Star Wars, a much more popular movie from. Oh, look at the. Look at box office. Look at, you know, social trends. You know, social trends.

[Jay]

What does that even mean?

[Matthew Berry]

Disney has an entire channel devoted just to Star Wars. In that entire universe, no one has one for Godfather.

[Jay]

Social trends, broadest magic imaginable.

[Matthew Berry]

Go search like Star wars on social media and you'll see people still talking about it today. No one's talking about Godfather II today. It's like showing every film class.

[Lawrence]

No sure.

[Matthew Berry]

And. And. And we talk about Star wars, everyone.

[Lawrence]

This stupid desk.

[Matthew Berry]

Nerds everywhere.

[Lawrence]

It's a part of Rabbit.

[Matthew Berry]

Desk nerds everywhere are talking about. And I count myself as one of them.

[Rotopat]

Yes.

[Jay]

Oh, God.

[Lawrence]

All right. We're taking. We're taking our first.

[Matthew Berry]

A lot of people have Andor Season 2 is one of the best TV shows of this year. It's also part of the Star wars universe.

[Lawrence]

More peacockies on the way if you dare to stick around.

[Matthew Berry]

Congratulations.

[Jay]

Finally, one.

[Lawrence]

One.

[Matthew Berry]

There you go.

[Rotopat]

See?

That's a diet code.

[Matthew Berry]

What ended up becoming Finding Dory ended up getting scratched. So they asked writers to come into Disney and pitch them ideas for a sequel to Finding Nemo. The idea was that the sequel was. Is that you? That opening scene where there's all these eggs and they scatter. You know they scatter I say we shoot, we look at that scene, we replay that scene, but from a different angle, and we notice that there is one egg that rolls all the way away and doesn't get destroyed. And that we see Nemo actually has.

That was the pitch that Nemo and Marlin go on a hunt for his son and the sibling, and they eventually find him. The executive said to us, the executive, screw you, too. Used to have me.

[Lawrence]

Of course, that comment was from Dev saying, this story makes me wish I was Nemo's mother.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[Lawrence]

Biggest show derailment.

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah, Biggest show derailment. Nemo's mother passed away, by the way, in the very early scenes of that movie. Yeah, that was the point.

[Jay]

Spoiler.

[Lawrence]

Yes.

[Matthew Berry]

Of course. Dev wishes he was dead.

[Lawrence]

Dev didn't like the plot.

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah, we can make that happen, Dev. All right, so a big issue derailment. When I spilled my water in Philly, when I spilled my Diet Coke on the set, or when I pitched the Finding Nemo sequel. I mean, come on, Neymar. I mean, it has to be.

[Lawrence]

It's not even close.

[Dev]

Yeah, Lawrence, it is tough, though, man. It's tough. But I would actually say the reason it won't be the spillage of that diet coat is because Matthew Stafford gonna end up getting the MVP anyway. But if he just would have fell completely off the rails, like, that would have been on you.

[Matthew Berry]

That's fair.

[Dev]

So I'll go with the Nemo 2, too.

[Rotopat]

All right.

[Matthew Berry]

All right, Peacocky.

[Rotopat]

Who?

[Matthew Berry]

Who? Biggest show derailment. There you go. We got a little jazz hand later. Some jazz hands. There we go. Yeah. Jay's got this one.

[Jay]

All right.

[Matthew Berry]

There you go.

[Jay]

All right, let's see.

[Matthew Berry]

He has to watch where he turns because he's got a lot.

[Jay]

It's the Finding Nemo. Gets one right.

[Dev]

Yeah.

[Jay]

Broken clock. Right. Twice a day.

[Matthew Berry]

Even I would be like, yeah. Watching that back. I'm like, I shouldn't have done that.

[Jay]

That was long.

[Matthew Berry]

I know.

[Jay]

That was a good, like, four minutes.

[Lawrence]

When he came back, you could see Jay and I, like, slowly starting to slump into the chairs.

[Matthew Berry]

I know you guys were like. You guys were like, we want to pay attention, to be good and co host, but what the f is going on here?

[Jay]

Just kept on.

[Dev]

Just a great day for me not to be there.

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah, it was smart.

[Lawrence]

Can't believe it didn't get picked up. That's really the most shocking part.

[Matthew Berry]

It's actually a good pitch. Screw you guys. We didn't have any fish. Driving trucks down the highway like the actual sequel did. We stayed in the world of reality.

[Lawrence]

Anyways, the next category, Fantasy mvp. Of course, this is more related to the regular season. And the nominees are Christian McCaffrey, RB1 in points per game, Bijan Robinson, RB2 in points per game. Jonathan Taylor was RB4. Or Puka Nakua with a wide receiver one finish in Jackson Smith and Jigba as wide receiver two. The honorable mentions, Trey McBride, Jameer Gibbs, Devon A. Chan, Josh Allen and Drake.

[Matthew Berry]

May say, okay, so for me, I think, I think JSN is the obvious choice here because of where he went. Like Fantasy MVP is not only about, like who produced most fantasy points, but what it cost to acquire that person. The rest of these guys were all top 15 picks. You know, Taylor was top of the second. You know, Puka kind of top of the second. But Jackson Smith, the jigba was like a third or fourth rounder as well. I could argue, I could argue McBride, I could argue Drake May again because he was a. He wasn't drafted as a top 10 fantasy quarterback. And. But to me, I feel like JSN is the answer here.

[Jay]

I would go JSN for all the interesting.

[Lawrence]

I was out on Christian McCaffrey this year. I know you guys were both in and I would actually go with him. He was going around, I feel like the eighth pick in the draft and just been burned too many times before. Wasn't comfortable with it. And he was phenomenal.

[Matthew Berry]

I planted a flag on this is the year he stays healthy. Like he was on the preseason love list and said like, if he's healthy, he's the number one player in fantasy football.

[Dev]

When you talk about value to your team, just like we talk about the real NFL MVP, Christian McCaffrey. Was he. Injuries happen and he was still there carrying those fantasy teams. I mean, you got a running back with 100 receptions and. And falls a few yards short of 1000 receiving yards to get 1200 rushing yards on top of that, with all those injuries that happened to the 49ers on both sides of the ball. But with Jackson, Smith and Jigba where he was drafted, I would, I still would give the slight edge to cmc.

[Lawrence]

Let's take a look at the fan vote, see if they agree.

[Matthew Berry]

Much like the actual MVP vote, there's a lot of def. You know, what's your definition of MVP?

[Lawrence]

I'm very close.

[Matthew Berry]

McCaffrey 50%, Jonathan Taylor only 4%, a member of Lawrence's team. Bijan Robinson at 13%, Puka at 19. I'm surprised. So Puka 19% at number two. Wow. Jackson, Smith and Jigba just 14%. He's got the third place vote there.

[Dev]

I think Puka being above Jackson, Smith and Jigba has a lot to do with more of the recent recent like Jackson, Smith and Jigsaw, but shot out a cannon from the beginning of the season. So I think that's what has to do.

[Lawrence]

Let's bring on the Peacocky. And Matthew, you will read off who.

[Dev]

The fantasy he rowing. Oh, he.

[Matthew Berry]

Oh, does the electric slide. You're skiing. What are you doing, Peacocky? Is it some sort of Olympic thing? You're trying to be like, oh, promote Milan. Exactly. Peacocky should be. Be doing, you know, all the other sports that are available on, you know, like do some basketball because we have NBA there. Figure out a way to do 8 Atlantic 10 college basketball. You can. Yeah. Or. All right. And the peacocky for fantasy MVP goes to Chris McCaffrey. 50% of the vote, obviously from the fans and the committee agrees. Again, he was. He went towards the end of the first round and a lot of drafts, finishes as the number one running back in fantasy football and averaged two more fantasy points per game than any other player from weeks one through 17. 416 total fantasy points. That's the most by running back since Chris McCaffrey had 471 in 2019. So six years after he did it, he comes back again with just a monster fantasy season. And there was consistency. At least 22 fantasy points in 12 of his 16 games through the first 17 weeks of the year.

[Jay]

Yep. Did it in the playoffs as well, which J.J.S.N. had a little bit of quieter playoffs.

[Lawrence]

Well, let's go to the fantasy playoff MVP. Of course, this qualifies as weeks 15 to 17. So the traveler was QB1 at almost 33 points per game. Bijan Robinson was RB1 at 33.1 points per game. Derrick Henry over 26. Puka Nakua was wide receiver one at 30 points. And Chris Alave right near 28 points per game as wide receiver two. The honorable mentions were Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey, Chase Brown, Jamar Chase, and Kyle Pitts. Let's take a look at the fan vote for this one, guys.

[Matthew Berry]

A lot of people. A lot of people stepped up.

[Lawrence]

Pretty loaded field here. I have a feeling it'll skew towards Bijan Robinson because he's won a lot of championships and it does close. Yeah, it's maybe the most even fan.

[Dev]

Voting we've had in those three fantasy playoff weeks. He had the one game where he, he ran for almost 200 yards. So that definitely helped him get towards that 33 points per game. So, you know, I'm going to give Bijan one here too. Let's bring one home for the home team. You're eight and nine. You made no playoffs. You did make all pro Bijan. But go on tape, add some fantasy hardware.

[Matthew Berry]

More distributed voting. 31 for Bijan. King Henry 22%, Puka at 28%. Then Trevor Lawrence at 14 and Chris Olave at 5%.

[Lawrence]

All right, Peacocky, we will take the envelope for fantasy playoff.

[Jay]

You already mvp.

[Lawrence]

Whoa, that's.

[Dev]

Oh, he hit the fade away.

[Matthew Berry]

He hit the fade away.

[Dev]

Okay.

[Jay]

It's not what a brown ball rock.

[Matthew Berry]

Sounds like a little bit. Sounds like that.

[Lawrence]

And the fantasy playoff MVP goes to Bijan Robins.

[Dev]

All right, bring you back to the atm.

[Matthew Berry]

Let's go. Accepting on his behalf is Lawrence Jackson. Jackson, noted fan of the Atlanta fans.

[Dev]

Thank you people. I did nothing to deserve that shout out to Bijan.

[Jay]

We had a little hiccup in Bijan's season early where he allegedly went by Bijan for a little bit. But we got that sorted. We decided he was Bijan and he was magnificent down the end of the season. Almost set the all time scrimmage yards record based on all seasons.

[Dev]

And it's amazing too with that offense.

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah, yeah. During the fantasy playoffs, 29 or more fantasy points in all three playoff weeks. He was the only non quarterback to score at least 25 fantasy points in each round of the fantasy playoffs. At least 168 yards from scrimmage in each in all three of those games as well. And brought me home a Guillotine League championship. Not ours, but in a different Guillotine league. Birthday Bijon on my birthday. Birthday Bijan. Monday, December 29th. Yeah.

[Lawrence]

1000% birthday Bijan.

[Jay]

Birthday Bijan.

[Lawrence]

It's not Bichon Robinson's birthday, but on.

[Matthew Berry]

My birthday, on my birthday I desperately needed to to win a league where I was down big and the guy I was playing had Puka in that game. And Bijan came through birthday Bijan in a big way.

[Jay]

Glad to hear it.

[Lawrence]

One of the best developments of this.

[Dev]

Bring down the rest of the roster.

[Lawrence]

Has been the investment from the regulars, obviously the watchers, viewers, listeners of the show. There's no more important way to recap what they've done for our show and of course regular of the year as we show our regular power rankings for week 14. Great to welcome Daniel Dae Kim to the rankings at Number four, Raise the flags. Moves up to the number one spot, which was previously held by Jonathan Medici. Stupid Deb is just an honorable mention. Somehow I voted for him to be number one after that comment. Valiant Vincent, welcome to the top spot. Big dog. Jonathan Medici, you've been doing great, but you dropped one spot down.

[Matthew Berry]

Who will win Regular of the Year at the Peacockys?

[Lawrence]

Massive new category. This is a big one.

[Matthew Berry]

This is a big one. Too many to choose from. We'll see what the committee did. Do we have nominees?

[Lawrence]

I think we are going directly to.

[Matthew Berry]

Regular of the Year.

[Lawrence]

Makes me wonder what happened to Clark Brady.

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah, I think it killed him.

[Jay]

I think it killed him.

[Lawrence]

I think actually killed him.

[Matthew Berry]

I think he's on. I think he's on the committee. Any guesses, guys, before we get into.

[Dev]

This, I'm gonna go with Nick Brace Nation.

[Rotopat]

Yeah, sure.

[Matthew Berry]

I'm betting.

[Lawrence]

I think it would be down to Medici and Aloha Bricks.

[Jay]

Yeah, we'll go Medici.

[Matthew Berry]

Medici or Aloha Bricks. And the regular of the year, the picake, the prestigious Pekaki for regular of the year is Aloha Bricks. Aloha Bricks. He gets up at like 5am in the morning on Sundays in Hawaii. Gets up early to watch it. So the dedication of Aloha Bricks, you know, Medici, amazing as well. But congratulations.

[Jay]

I would say this should have been a Peyton Manning, Steve McNair Co MVP situation. Medici and Aloha Bricks. But Aloha Bricks, very deserving winner.

[Lawrence]

Yeah. Ultimate vibes guy in the chat. Every single day, we tip our cap to Aloha Bricks. You are the first regular of the year from the Pekakis. All right, we're taking one more break.

[Matthew Berry]

Oh, we love you, Medici.

[Lawrence]

We have one more peacocky to hand out, plus a surprise guest in the studio that we don't know who it is, so stick around.

[Matthew Berry]

Traditions have the power to bring a whole city together, Tavis. Tailgate in the pouring rain or refuse to wash that lucky jersey. And tradition is what inspires Tostitos to make their masa the traditional way, starting with whole corn kernels and made with no artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives crafted for that perfect crunch. Anytime I'm watching football on Sunday, I look around and there's always somebody eating Tostitos. Whether you're at the tailgate or home watching with friends. Choose Tostitos for your next game day. Tostitos. Tradition matters. Official chip and dip sponsor of the NFL. Okay, I have to tell you, I was just looking on ebay where I go for all kinds of things I love.

[Lawrence]

And there it was.

[Matthew Berry]

That hologram trading. One of the rarest. The last one I needed for my set. Shiny like the designer handbag of my dreams. One of a kind. Ebay had it. And now everyone's asking, ooh, where'd you get your windshield wipers? Ebay has all the parts that fit my car. No more annoying, just beautiful. Millions of finds, each with a story.

[Commercial Voice]

EBay. Things people love.

[Lawrence]

Welcome back to the annual Peacockies. The fourth annual Peacockies. And at this time, we'd like to welcome up a surprise prize guest.

[Matthew Berry]

None of us know, literally none of us in here know who this guest is.

[Lawrence]

The odds board ranges from Joe Flacco. Big Show.

[Matthew Berry]

Medium Show. Penn State. Blake.

[Lawrence]

Penn State. Blake.

[Jay]

Cam Acres.

[Matthew Berry]

So hot. It's Roto.

[Lawrence]

That's a good surprise.

[Matthew Berry]

Oh, my God.

[Dev]

That's League of Assholes champion right here.

[Matthew Berry]

League of champion guillotine. Our internal. Internal guillotine.

[Dev]

This is good because me and Connor said, ah, we. We ain't gonna be. We ain't gonna care.

[Matthew Berry]

We care.

[Dev]

We care.

[Lawrence]

We expected to be underwhelmed.

[Matthew Berry]

We're not. Could have been. It could have been Denny, right?

[Jay]

Yeah. I thought it was Joe Flacco on.

[Lawrence]

Right off the news about Noah, Darren Otto being treated.

[Dev]

I believe.

[Rotopat]

Believe me, that perked me up.

[Lawrence]

This is great. Like, we couldn't ask for a better time to have you on.

[Rotopat]

No, you could not. So listen, they wanted me to, you know, to come and gloat about winning.

[Lawrence]

Which you should.

[Rotopat]

I call it the Barry Double. Yeah, the Guillotine League. The League of Assholes. You know, I don't. I'm just proud to win it. I was proud to compete, I will say, in the league bylaws. It said in lieu of a cash prize, I could accept a trip to an NBC award show.

[Matthew Berry]

I didn't know. We didn't say which one. I didn't know.

[Rotopat]

I didn't know we didn't have the globes anymore.

[Jay]

Right.

[Rotopat]

So, yeah, I'm on the Pete Cockies. But I'm honored to be here. I have never been hotter. Does Bud Light still sponsor their show? I could really use a beer.

[Matthew Berry]

Put your cigarette for once on tap. Absolutely. Bud Light. It's easy to enjoy on Sunday.

[Lawrence]

Yeah. Fridge full of beer.

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah, absolutely. But you have to drink it in the Peacocky outfit as well. Rotopat. Yes. Congratulations. Unfortunately, you've won your way in the league. Next year, our goal was to relegate you, but unfortunately, we're not going to be able to it was an unbelievable season for you. I think it's because you were able to focus on the league and didn't have to do this dumb show.

[Dev]

Yeah, yeah.

[Lawrence]

That would help me a lot.

[Rotopat]

I'm about to have a fifth child, which some people. How do you have time to play fantasy? It's the opposite. Like, I need something to focus on other than my kids. So, you know, I'm in my.

[Lawrence]

It's right at the J Player.

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah.

[Rotopat]

In the basement office 14 hours a day. Like, you know, scheming how to win six more kids.

[Jay]

You can play Colts.

[Matthew Berry]

You're the Philip Rivers of NBC Rotopat. Very fertile. That's what we learned today.

[Dev]

He's potent.

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah, exactly.

[Dev]

His Boys Can Swim is what we call him.

[Matthew Berry]

Rotopat's Boys Can Swim. That's what we've learned today.

[Rotopat]

Brand new team name.

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah.

[Lawrence]

DraftKings Sportsbook is an official sports betting partner of the NFL and new customers can bet $5 and get $300 in bonus bets. And if your bet wins, dial the app, then use promo code ffhh when you sign up. DraftKingsportsbook.

[Matthew Berry]

Oh, the crown is good. The crown is Rotopads. The crown is Roto Pats.

[Lawrence]

We didn't forget about back to the futures on this Tuesday. How about a little Super Bowl MVP action as you look at the odds board with Matthew Stafford at the top there, Jay.

[Jay]

Yeah, which I understand, but I think that the misprice on this board in my pick here would be Jackson Smith Jigba just match spoken about a lot. I think it makes no sense whatsoever that he is four times Sam Donald's price. When Jackson Smith Jiggaba gets 45% of Donald's yards and 50% of his touchdowns, Seahawks is a Super bowl favorite. I think JSN should be much shorter.

[Matthew Berry]

Yeah, I would agree with that. I would. I mean, Stafford makes sense, but. And if you think. If you think the Patriots make it to the super bowl, which I think they have a decent chance. Drake made +700. 700 is interesting to me.

[Dev]

I like a chance to get anything Josh Allen plus 700 here. If they get to the Super Bowl. I felt like the Jaguars would be their biggest test if they get there versus a team like the Seahawks. Well, we saw Matthew Stafford could make them vulnerable. So I would take Allen.

[Rotopat]

If someone can get my phone out of my pocket, I'm gonna get on the app right now and bet Josh Allen.

[Matthew Berry]

It's gonna take us a while to figure out that. Oh, well, I'll get in there. Don't you worry. I'll get that phone.

[Jay]

What a trip you won.

[Rotopat]

Keeps getting better.

[Lawrence]

Another Peacocky's in the books.

[Matthew Berry]

Another Peacocky's in the books. Rotopat. Once again, congratulations. That music means you don't have to go home, but you can stay here. They're sweeping us off the stage for Lawrence Jackson, Jake Croucher, Connor Rogers, Pat Doherty and the entire Peacocky staff, including Condoleezza Rice. I am Matthew Barry. We will see you back Thursday. Peace.
