• Gibbs’ Electric Performance:
  • 15 carries, 219 yards, 11 catches, 45 yards, 1 TD — 264 scrimmage yards, 55.4 fantasy points (most by any player this year).
  • "He's had 35 or more fantasy points in three of the last five. 145 yards from scrimmage in four of the last five." – Matthew Berry [05:06]
  • Gibbs likened to a video game cheat code—Berry calls him “a league-winner.”
• Concerns and Role Clarity:
  • The hosts discuss David Montgomery’s diminished role and future fantasy viability.
    • "With Montgomery, I have a concern about sustainability. You have to lean into your best player." – Connor Rogers [06:16]
  • Gibbs’ remaining schedule features all dome or good weather games.
• Comparisons:
  • Gibbs is grouped with Jonathan Taylor and Bijan Robinson as the league’s most dynamic RBs, with Devon Achane as another “different” runner.
  • "The three guys in the league right now at running back who just look different from everyone else: Taylor, Bijan, and Jameer Gibbs." – Jay [06:38]

2. Jameis Winston & The Giants' High-Variance Football (11:25 – 14:41)

• Jameis' Day & Fantasy Relevance:
  • First 300-yd passer against the Lions this year, high aDOT (average depth of target: 11).
  • "He was flinging it out. He was pure Jameis here." – Matthew Berry [13:00]
• Wandale Robinson Emerges:
  • 9 receptions, 156 yards, TD on 14 targets (41% target share).
  • "Wandale Robinson is like a borderline WR1 the rest of the way as long as Jameis is starting." – Matthew Berry [13:00]
• Giants' Organizational Chaos:

  • "This is just an organization that's a little bit of a mess right now." – Connor Rogers [09:27]

3. Colts-Chiefs Overtime Thriller & Fantasy Fallout (15:41 – 20:56)

• Chiefs Comeback via the Run:
  • Kareem Hunt: 30 carries, 104 yards, demonstrates KC’s commitment to running despite modest efficiency.
  • Berry criticizes Colts for abandoning Jonathan Taylor with the lead.
    • "When you have Jonathan Taylor and you're on the road, why you don't just stick with it?" – Matthew Berry [19:04]
• Reality of the Colts' Offense:
  • Questions about Daniel Jones’ (for Colts) physical limitations and whether they're true contenders.
  • "Jones just wasn't making the throws. He didn't play well. But I wouldn’t write them off because of one bad game." – Jay [18:21]
• Fantasy Takeaways:
  • Lower expectations for Taylor, who’s had single-digit fantasy points in two of his last three.
  • Michael Pittman is a WR2/3, but offense as a whole trending down.

4. Cowboys-Eagles: The George Pickens Show (22:25 – 26:41)

• Pickens’ Massive Game:
  • Shines in contract year, 4/4 on contested catches, looking like Dallas's WR1 over CeeDee Lamb.
    • “Are we living in a world where George Pickens is the WR1 in Dallas right now? He looks a lot more confident than CeeDee Lamb at the moment.” – Connor Rogers [22:53]
    • "Who's been a better wide receiver this year than George Pickens outside of JSN and maybe Puka Nakua? It's unbelievable." – Jay [23:32]
• Dak Prescott’s Resurgence:
  • Pickens helps revitalize Dak’s play; passing offense looks elite.
• CeeDee Lamb’s Struggles:
  • Drops & missed end zone chances cloud an otherwise solid stat line.
• Saquon Barkley Panic:
  • Once explosive, now lacking big plays and barely fantasy viable. Averaging 3.3 ypc over last five, just two 20+ yard runs all season.
    • "Saquon Barkley had almost 500 touches last year...he's inching towards 30, playing extra games...it's just a combination of factors." – Jay [29:58]

5. JSN’s Historic Pace & Seahawks Breakdown (32:44 – 34:55)

• Jackson Smith-Njigba (JSN) Heating Up:
  • Over 37 fantasy points, 7th straight game with 20+ pts, averaging 119 yards/game, currently on pace to break Calvin Johnson's record.
    • “I think he gets to 2,000. I think he becomes the first wide receiver.” – Matthew Berry [33:04]
  • Route running and hands compared to peak Cooper Kupp.
    • “His route running is so pristine. His balance is unparalleled…" – Jay [34:08]
• Kenneth Walker’s Increasing Role:
  • Season-high 61% snap share; outpacing Zach Charbonnet, trending back toward feature-back usage.

6. Quarterback Carnage, Injury Updates & Fantasy Impacts (39:27 – 40:07)

• Injury Recap:
  • Notable names: Baker Mayfield (shoulder), T. Higgins (concussion, likely out Thursday), Rashee Rice, DK Metcalf, Michael Mayer, Ashton Genti, Alvin Kamara.
  • "I cannot imagine Higgins is playing...that was a scary hit. He was down for a while." – Matthew Berry [40:03]

• Cate Blanchett & Diet Coke Chaos:
  • A spilled Diet Coke leads to an impromptu roast and Berry sitting in a sticky chair. “I have Diet Coke ass right now, America. That’s what I do have.” – Matthew Berry [27:04]

Weekend Warriors & Waiver Wire Highlights (43:26 – 47:57)

• Emmanuel Wilson (GB): 28 carries, 107 yds, 2 TDs — earns lead back role if Jacobs sits.
• Ashton Genti (LV): 8 catches, 58 yds, 1 TD – volume keeps him relevant even on bad team.
• Derrick Henry (BAL): 2 TDs save a sluggish 64-yd rushing day.
• Hunter Henry (NE): 7 rec, 115 yds, TD – exploits Bengals’ tight end struggles.

• Justin Jefferson & Jordan Addison (MIN):
  • Addison: goose egg; Jefferson held to 4/48 with J.J. McCarthy at QB.
• DeAndre Swift (PHI, RB): Benched after fumble, outsnapped by rookie.
• Stefon Diggs & Emeka Egbuka: Both fail to reach even 35 yards, “victims of bad offenses and random volume shifts.” – Jay [51:37]

---

Actionable Takeaways for Fantasy Managers

• Start Jameer Gibbs with confidence: His schedule & elite usage point to league-winning upside.
• Monitor Wandale Robinson: He’s a WR1 borderliner as long as Jameis is under center.
• Lower expectations for Jonathan Taylor: Colts going away from run; still a must-start, but with reduced ceiling.
• George Pickens is an every-week start: Arguably as enticing as CeeDee Lamb rest-of-season.
• JSN on historic tear: Must-start and possible overall WR1 finish if current trend holds.
• Saquon Barkley owners: Possible buy-low; upcoming schedule is soft, but explosiveness no longer there.
• Be wary of DeAndre Swift: Usage has turned volatile, especially after in-game errors.

---

• Christian McCaffrey most bet prop: Over 25 receiving yards.
• Jay’s Play: Tedaroa McMillan over 66.5 receiving yards.

All. Hey, way to fight, fellas. Way to fight.

We know what this one's about. Went out there.

[Jay]

What do you think?

[Matthew Barry]

Fantasy Football Happy hour with Matthew Barry. Happy Monday.

[Connor Rogers]

Welcome to the Fantasy Football Happy Hour. That's right. That was Dan Campbell at the top giving a game ball to who other.

[Matthew Barry]

Than Jameer Gibbs, obviously. Dan Campbell gives him the game ball. Every fantasy manager that didn't have to face him gave. Gives him the grain ball. He drinks for free at the happy hour today. Obviously, Jameer Gibbs. I wanted a little behind the scenes for people that don't care. I wanted to wear a Jameer Gibbs jersey today. We have 26. We have his jersey from last year. We haven't gotten the Jameer Gibbs zero yet. I thought about it and then it was just too confusing. Anyway, so he drinks for free. I'm representing number nine, our mvp, Matthew Stafford. We'll talk about him in a second. The last thing I just want to say about that opening clip, guys, is that Dan Campbell. Super inspiring, right? I want to run through a brick wall. I'm ready to run through a brick wall. I'm ready to buy up some kneecaps, right? Controlled chaos. What is It. The j. The whole thing.

[Jay]

The. But some kneecaps.

[Connor Rogers]

I can't remember the opening.

[Matthew Barry]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Jay]

Which he was scolded for. And now the kneecaps have been bitten and he lost. HE LAUGHS Lost.

[Matthew Barry]

Yes, exactly. But then. So the voices you heard, you heard Dan Campbell inspiring everyone. Jameer Gibbs, very polite. A thank you to everyone. Love you guys. Let's keep it rolling. And then you heard Jared Goff, like. And like, poor Jared Goff, like, don't follow Dan Campbell. Jared Goff. But he tried. He's just like, come on, guys, we can keep this going.

[Jay]

Wow. This supposed to be your friend. I love Jared Goff from the hall of Fame game.

[Matthew Barry]

The hall of Fame.

[Jay]

You guys are great friends. Drag Montaigne together.

[Matthew Barry]

No, I'm not. I'm not.

[Connor Rogers]

By the way, you tried to retire this man, like a week ago.

[Matthew Barry]

This is.

[Jay]

Yeah, you killed Travis Kelce two years ago.

[Matthew Barry]

Stop it. This is all malfeasance and skullduggery. None of this is tr. All lies. Fake media over here. Fake news. What I would say is, and by the way, he is. He's going to win the MVP in the super bowl and he's going to retire.

[Connor Rogers]

He's going to go off into the sunset.

[Matthew Barry]

Going to happen.

[Connor Rogers]

Never wrong Stafford.

[Matthew Barry]

Never wrong. Just early. That's 1,000% right, Conor Rogers. What I want to say here, though, is I love Jared Goff. I'm just saying this is my advice to my buddy, my pal, my amigo, Jared Goff. Don't follow Dan Campbell in an inspirational speech.

[Jay]

Yeah, Jared Goff has a bit of a Ryan Gosling. And remember the Titans type of aesthetic and vibe, which is not a great vibe to down camera. Also, I'm a big proponent of Jameer Gibbs drinking free. He can do whatever he wants. Jonathan Medici. Flex one vibes guy. Jamis or Dan Campbell? For me, it's Dan Campbell. I get it.

[Matthew Barry]

It's Dan Campbell. It depends on what I'll tell you. Flexing Jameis, are you. Here's what I'll say.

[Connor Rogers]

We're outside, but we're inside.

[Matthew Barry]

Well, I know, but my question is, what are we doing? Like, so if the answer is. Is for vibes guy. Like, am I, like, do I need to win a big game? Do I need to get, you know, then Stan Campbell? But am I, like, am I going to the bar and just hanging out? It's Jamis. You know what I mean?

[Connor Rogers]

Definitely situations.

[Matthew Barry]

It's a situational vibe.

[Connor Rogers]

That's true.

[Matthew Barry]

Yeah.

[Jay]

Dan Campbell's a cinematic hero. Jameis is like a curb your enthusiasm sketch. It's a little different. I don't know. I'm more.

[Connor Rogers]

That is almost reversing that game until the end.

[Matthew Barry]

That. That is the greatest comment you've made in four years on this show. I'm just telling you.

[Connor Rogers]

Right.

[Matthew Barry]

That is. That is unbelievable. You're 1,000% right. That's exactly what he's a current enthusiasm sketch.

[Connor Rogers]

I mean, the pregame speeches are just completely insane.

[Matthew Barry]

No.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah. They almost did it. They had no business.

[Matthew Barry]

There was the thing.

[Connor Rogers]

12 and a half point underdogs.

[Jay]

Also, you don't get to. If you're the Lions, Jimmy Gibbs, he can do whatever he wants because he was magnificent. Everyone else, I wouldn't be celebrating that hard about needing overtime to beat the Jameis Winston Giants and almost having Wondell Robinson end your season.

[Matthew Barry]

Yeah, look. Jameer Gibbs, 55.4 fantasy points is the most fantasy points in any person has scored this year. He's had 35 or more fantasy points in three of the last five. 145 yards from scrimmage in for the past five. He's averaging almost nine yards per touch. Connor, like, it's all. These are video game numbers.

[Connor Rogers]

It's ridiculous. It feels like, you know, college back.

[Matthew Barry]

And he is going to be a league winner. They do not play a game in bad weather the rest of the way. They are in domes the rest of the way or in, you know, in good weather. They're basically the rest of the season. So he is going to be a league winner. They were in comeback mode. So this all worked out. I guess the only question, the only thing I can take away from this is like, you know, Goff is awesome. I'm on raw. Jameson Williams didn't do much in this game and neither did David Montgomery. And are we concerned about those guys just because Gibson, God's always going to get his. Jared Goff is what he is. He's 252 touchdowns and in the right game script, you know, gets you there.

[Jay]

But yeah, I understand kind of that they pay Dave Montgomery as a big part of the team and the culture. Like, why don't they just give Jimmy Gibbs 20 carries a game until he.

[Connor Rogers]

Gets the shift is here. In my opinion, this is kind of the signal game. To answer your question, Matthew, I'd be very concerned if I have to start David Montgomery because I think this shift is going to be real jamo. It's like this is. We talk about it every week. This is kind of what you get. It's good to see him more involved in weeks before this. But I think with Montgomery I have a concern about sustainability going forward. You have to lean into your best player.

[Jay]

Yeah. The three guys in the league right now at running back who just look different from everyone else. Jonathan Taylor, Bijan Robinson and Jameer Gibbs. And if you've got one of those three guys, I mean Bijan's his own story.

[Matthew Barry]

I might throw Devon Hn in there.

[Jay]

Achan. Yeah. A Chan does look good.

[Matthew Barry]

Different.

[Jay]

Yeah. But he's not.

[Matthew Barry]

I mean he's. It's the team surrounding him. But I'm just saying like in open space. I think he feels different.

[Jay]

Yeah. He probably. He doesn't have the I guess the strength elements that Jonathan Taylor and Jimmy Gibbs I think has to impressive for his size. Gibbs breaks tackles like a madman.

[Connor Rogers]

Yes.

[Jay]

But I don't understand why. Well, everything like the team's a little shaky. Like they were very nearly six and five after yesterday. But I don't understand why like show show make Jamir Gibbs prove that he can't handle 20 carries a game before you start mixing in more. Dave Montgomery.

[Matthew Barry]

The only thing I can think of is they play Green B. That's the Thanksgiving game. So three games. So maybe you know, you want to rest the legs a little bit as well. Montgomery is. It's huge game. Huge game for the division. Huge game for the nfc. Can't wait to see that as well. Yeah. But I mean feels like a handcuff. I think he's more than a handcuff but he's touchdown dependent. He's basically a touchdown dependent high end flex these days. David Montgomery come up with the the.

[Connor Rogers]

Right kind of comp right now he's.

[Matthew Barry]

Like basically he's Kareem Hunt on some level.

[Connor Rogers]

Honest Kyle Menon guy.

[Matthew Barry]

Yeah. He's just like sort of like a guy that like isn't going to be involved in the passing game. You know, will get you 10 touches and needs to fall into the end zone to be worth a start. Yeah. Basically is what he is. I don't know that there's anything. I mean I'm on Ross St. Brown 9 for 149. A receiving touchdown. Just an unbelievable game for the Lions who had to come back to win this game. I mean like the Giants. This drove me crazy. So the Giants finally after losing this one finally fire the defensive coordinator. And I didn't understand finally Stephen throw up this tweet And I've seen this tweet passed around a lot. I saw it from NFL memes. I've Seen other people share it as well. Schefter shared it from another account that I don't think originated it, but. So here's the original tweet, at least that I saw from flmemes. And those guys just crushed. They're hilarious. But the Giants lost all these games. They were beat.

[Connor Rogers]

They were.

[Matthew Barry]

With 14 seconds left. They were beating Dallas 37, 34. They were up 143 on the Saints. They were up 268 with 519 left to go. On the Broncos.

[Jay]

That's the. That's the ridiculous.

[Matthew Barry]

20 to 10 with 358 to go in the fourth, they were up 20 to 10 on the Bears.

[Connor Rogers]

That was not great.

[Matthew Barry]

Yeah. And with under 11 to go in the fourth quarter against the Lions this past Sunday, they were up 10. So I mean, like I. Right, let's fire the offense coordinator who. Let's fire the. Brian Daboll, who's the reason, who fought for and then developed and is the reason you guys have a franchise quarterback. They hired him and not the defense coordinator. Until now. I don't know what's going on with the Giants. You remember the New York media explaining.

[Connor Rogers]

None of the Giants media. I'm of the proud jets media. No, but in all seriousness, this is just an organization that's a little bit of a mess right now. There's no way around it.

[Jay]

How does Abdulkada have half a sack in 12 games?

[Connor Rogers]

And he's lining up offsides.

[Jay]

He's playing every step. He has half a stack in 12 games.

[Connor Rogers]

You could just run at the Giants at will.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[Matthew Barry]

So I don't know who they get next year, but whoever gets the head coaching job of the Giants next year has a very real shot at being coach of the year. Because there's enough structure here. There's enough stuff here. You sitting here, you're seeing like they're putting up numbers like Jameis. You know, Jameis had a monster day here. Wando Robinson has turned into a legit number two wide receiver. That's great. They get Malik Neighbors back next year, they figure out the run game. We'll see what happens with Scatterboo because that was a bad injury. But you've got it. You've got a franchise quarterback, you've got two legit wide receivers.

[Connor Rogers]

Tyrone Tracy looks good now.

[Matthew Barry]

Yes. And in theory the defense should be a lot better. So if they get like a defensive minded head coach and hear me out and keep Kafka as the play caller.

[Connor Rogers]

Coach of the year, Mike McCarthy.

[Matthew Barry]

You know what?

[Connor Rogers]

Save this, Stephen. You'll air it in a year.

[Matthew Barry]

No. Jokes aside, I could see that happening. I like, I'm not all the way joking. I am not a huge Mike McCarthy fan as you guys. That's why I think. I think. No, I think no one gets less out of more talent than Mike McCarthy. But is he a professional coach that would, you know that, like, he runs good organizations? Like, the Cowboys were basically a top 12. He would.

[Jay]

He would run organizations. Yeah.

[Matthew Barry]

No, no, no, no, no. The Giants would be a lot better under him. Would they ever win a Super Bowl? I doubt it. Again, I don't think he gets enough out of his talent. Like, I'm not a McCarthy fan, but. But then they shouldn't hire. Whether as a Commanders fan.

[Jay]

I love.

[Matthew Barry]

I would love it if they hired him.

[Jay]

Like, yeah, if I were a Giants fan and I was a couple of years ago, I would be wanting to hire the. From the Mike McDonald tree. I just want. I just want brains out of that kind of system and that organization because I think he. And maybe or a Chris Schuler type as well, whose stock is rising, but I think Mike McDonald is kind of lapping the field at the moment.

[Connor Rogers]

From a fantasy perspective, the big story of this game was actually Jameis and Wondale Robinson. We got to hear from Jameis after the game. Not on his throwing, but his receiving touchdown.

[Matthew Barry]

This is the play that you.

[Jameis Winston]

I like to consider myself an athlete. I believe that I can make plays like that for this team. If I need to play tight end, I can. I do whatever it is that's required for this team to have success. And I'm grateful that KAF gave me an opportunity and Gunner trusted me to. He gave me a chance. And sometimes that's all you got to do at the quarterback position. Give your guy a chance, you know, Russell Wilson sent me a picture of doing the Heisman in, like, a little gift. I think it's called a gift. And I did the Heisman, and we got in the end zone. We just didn't win, guys, we gotta win.

[Connor Rogers]

The gloves. Reveal was actually my favorite part.

[Jay]

The best way I can describe Jameis is that it's like he is about to burst out into laughter at any given moment about what he's saying, but he never does. And it's not a joke.

[Matthew Barry]

He's a national treasure that should be protected at all costs. I don't know when his playing career goes is done, but whatever it is, he's going straight.

[Connor Rogers]

Trying to retire him, you know.

[Matthew Barry]

I'm not trying to retire. No. The NFL is more fun with Jameis in it. I'm just saying whenever it is, hopefully many years from now, whenever it is he decides to hang it up. He will go right into broadcast and be a massive, massive star.

[Jay]

I don't know if Brian Dabel deserved to get fired or not based on what was going on behind the scenes. But one thing that he got wrong, like there's no reason that Russell Wilson should have been average in the depth.

[Matthew Barry]

Shot at any point now. At any point.

[Connor Rogers]

You're right.

[Matthew Barry]

First quarterback for 300 yards against the Lions this season. His, his average of the target was 11. Like, you know, like, I mean over 33% of his passes traveled 15 or more air yards. Like he was flinging it out. He was pure Jamis here. And then Wanda Robinson was the big beneficiary. 9 for 156. He gets the touchdown on 14 targets. 41% target share. It's his fourth straight game with at least a 31% target share. Wando Robinson is like a borderline wide receiver one the rest of the way as long as Jameis is starting. And I don't know why he. I don't know. We'll see what Jackson Dart. But even with Dart back in, I mean I think that Wanda Robinson is just got to be locked in. They're at New England next week. Then they have a buy home to Washington, home to Minnesota. So it's Wanda's world. We just live in it as well. And you mentioned it. Tyrone Tracy continues to run well. I thought he had a really nice game kind of overall and feels like he is starting to distance himself from Devon Singletary. Still probably a low end running back too because of. Because you've got Singletary there. Because they don't score, they don't like to run as much. I mean there was bombs away. Yeah, it's exactly. But it was a fun game. I wish the Giants had won this one. I was rooting for them.

[Jay]

Yeah, I had a couple of friends who were deep in Lions and Survivor pools which is just terrifying. And even like the decision and it was perhaps the right decision based on what was available. But in Survivor you don't want to open the Jamis box. I agree it's a high variant. Probably go against Tyrod Taylor or something. But Jamis is. James can make every throw and he's super strong and he's athletic. It's just that, you know, the internal mechanics aren't there.

[Matthew Barry]

The Giants should have won that game and that loss is not on Jameis Winston at all. He was brilliant.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[Connor Rogers]

Coach Willis Beard says please get Jameis on the Happy Hour. Maybe he'll be at Radio Row.

[Matthew Barry]

Open invitation to Jameis Winston anytime he'd like to come. Be on the Happy Hour. And you can replace Jay.

[Jay]

Honestly, I'll stand out.

[Matthew Barry]

Yes.

[Jay]

Be the right call for the show.

[Matthew Barry]

Yeah, yeah.

[Connor Rogers]

And then me and you could have a picture with him and we make it our profile.

[Matthew Barry]

Nah, now we're talking about. Yeah, yeah. That's what we got to do. That's what we have to do at super bowl this year, is we have to figure this out. Producer Steven, make a note of this. No guests sit near Jay this year. Jay is on the end and we bring the guest. Yeah. Jay is away from the guests.

[Jay]

The last time that happened, there was a photo of the two of you and Justin Jefferson where it looks like.

[Matthew Barry]

That's a great one.

[Jay]

You are the son of Matthew Barry and Justin Jefferson.

[Connor Rogers]

It's a great picture.

[Jay]

See, you need me there. You say it won't happen if I'm around ridiculous family photos of Justin Jefferson.

[Connor Rogers]

One of my favorite pictures of the show.

[Matthew Barry]

Yeah, exactly. Me and my gay lover, Justin Jefferson and our adopted son, Connor. Oh, please. Please. Who wouldn't?

[Jay]

Jay Jettison coming on the show.

[Matthew Barry]

Listen, Justin Jefferson asked, I would be down. Come on, let's be honest. He's Justin Jefferson.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah, boy.

[Jay]

Let's go to Colts.

[Connor Rogers]

Steven is ushering me to Colts, Chiefs, so I will follow. And why not? Notable fantasy performances from this one. A lot of work for Rasheed Rice. A lot of work for Kareem Hunt. The Chiefs actually leaned on the run in this comeback game for the Chiefs that didn't have much going for them in 3.3quarters. In the fourth quarter, in overtime, they got it all working. Jay, what happened to your Colts in this one? Why'd Alec Pierce stay?

[Matthew Barry]

Yeah.

[Jay]

Can I ask you a question, Connor? About for the boot? For the boot.

[Matthew Barry]

For the sandal?

[Jay]

Yeah. It wasn't great. Wasn't great for Alec Pierce? You know more about football than me, Connor.

[Connor Rogers]

I don't know.

[Jay]

Can you tell me it is? Why?

[Matthew Barry]

I'll make that judgment.

[Jay]

Why teams? Why offensive coordinators can't build better cover 0 betas against Spags because it seems like he sends the house on every single key. Third and fourth day in NFL history, and it's like it's powerless. Oh, Daniel Jones got nowhere to go.

[Matthew Barry]

I had no idea. This is coming.

[Connor Rogers]

Right.

[Jay]

It cost the Niners a Super Bowl.

[Connor Rogers]

Right. It's on the quarterback to throw it hot and nowhere to Throw into the void. And the problem is, for as much as we're like, wow, Daniel Jones and Sam Darnold, like, this is impressive, what they're doing. They don't process all the time against pressures like that. So the great quarterbacks do. That's why they are the great quarterbacks. And Spags has gotten away with it for a long time. It's amazing. It's amazing.

[Matthew Barry]

So you know what? It's interesting. So I had this taken the preseason, and then I came out where I said, basically, I don't know why they're starting Daniel Jones, because Daniel Jones is fine. He's good. He'll be a good fit for Steichen's offense.

[Jay]

But you're never going to be back to Iowa now.

[Matthew Barry]

You'll never win a Super bowl with Daniel Jones. They should start Anthony Richardson the entire year and just see what he has. Because it'll either be a disaster, then you start over next year, or, you know, you have your franchise quarterbacks. So that was my take. And then about midway through the season, I said, that's clearly the worst take of all time. I admit it. I apologize to America like, I own it. Give me the big L, that terrible take, Terrible take. But now might be back in on the take. I'm just full circle. No, no, listen. The Colts have one signature win this year, and that is Denver. Barely, right? They haven't beaten anyone real. And this was a test. This is a Test against a 5 and 5 Chiefs team. Okay, like, no, hang on.

[Jay]

They should have beaten the Rams. Like, they played the Rams basically to draw. If Adonai Mitchell doesn't Adonai Mitchell his way defeat that. So that was a fine. And also like this game, yeah, they got outplayed. They went to overtime against the Chiefs in Arrowhead. But the offense was very bad.

[Matthew Barry]

Yeah, I mean, they got dominated in time of possession. I think they had 11 penalties. And just like, I'm like, this was a game where if the Colts wanted to say, like, hey man, we're for real. This is a game you win. They had every opportunity to do so and they didn't. And it's a lot. They had zero first downs in the fourth quarter. Like, Daniel Jones just melt down in the fourth quarter and the Super Bowl, I'm sorry, in overtime. And I sort of went back to like, wait, was my take that I disavowed. Should I be back in on that terrible take?

[Jay]

Here's what the mainstream media won't tell you. And I know a lot about my Colts because I watch them every play. I haven't given up on the Colts. We find come beat Houston this week, get right back on track. Daniel Jones is not physically right in that game. There was something wrong with his gait and the way that he was moving. He was not moving right. He was on the injury report with a calf during the week. He just did not look like the same guy physically to me in that game. And I think that might have rattled him a little bit. Now, it doesn't excuse bad throws that he made, the fact that they couldn't get anything going on offense whatsoever. The Chiefs clearly sold out to stop the run. And if you sell out to stop the run, you should have something in the pass game available, particularly when you have Tyler Warren, Alec Pierce, Michael Pittman and Josh Downs. And Jones just wasn't making the throws. He didn't play well. But I wouldn't write them off because of, you know, one bad game against a good thing.

[Matthew Barry]

I'm not writing. I mean, like, again, we're a fantasy world show and this is more of an NFL conversation. But I will say from a fantasy perspective, you should. When you have a guy like Jonathan Taylor and they went away from him like 16 carries for 58 rushing yards, like, and they went away from it felt like in the second half. And I get that they weren't getting anywhere, but think about the Chiefs. Kareem Hunt went 30 for 104. Now, I'm not a math guy. You're a math guy. Is that efficient? 30 carries for 104 yards, it doesn't feel super efficient, but they stuck with it. And I just don't know why. When you have Jonathan Taylor and you're on the road, why you don't just stick with it.

[Connor Rogers]

With a lead from most of the game.

[Matthew Barry]

With a lead for most of the game.

[Jay]

Yeah. I mean, Stocking is trying to steal yards on first down when the Colts are loading up to stop the run. But it's like, well, you're not getting anything on first down through the air anyway. So maybe just give Jonathan Taylor. And Taylor, he did break one. He broke a 28 yarder down the right sideline. And it did feel like they abandoned him a little bit, certainly. And that's always going to be the criticism when the Colts lose and Taylor doesn't have a big game. Like, why'd you go away from Jonathan Taylor? I'm guessing that's just what the defense showed and Jones wasn't good enough yesterday.

[Connor Rogers]

Right.

[Matthew Barry]

Single digit fantasy points in two of the last three games. For Jonathan Taylor. Home to Houston this week, then at Jacksonville, at Seattle. Two of the next three are Houston and Seattle for Jonathan Taylor. I think if you'd asked me two weeks ago, who's the number one pick in fantasy football, you're drafting the rest of the way. Like if you on guillotine leagues, right? In guillotine leagues, you can draft any week you want for the rest of the year, Right. Two weeks ago, what I said is Jonathan Taylor. I think it's clearly Jonathan Jameer Gibbs now as well. There's not a real takeaway because you're still starting Jonathan Taylor, but I would lower expectations here as well. Tough game for. Tough game for Alec Pierce. As you will. Michael Pittman gets into the end zone as well, but even with this, even with his touchdown catch, he's wide receiver 23 as we head into Monday Night Football. Tyler Warren was fine, but not amazing. Like, the whole offense was. This is a bummer.

[Jay]

Yeah, it was a bad guy. I will say the one thing we'll get to Valiant Vincent's question first. I have beef with Jay Croucher.

[Commercial Narrator]

Here we go.

[Jay]

I started Alec Pierce over Jacoby Myers, and while it didn't cost me a matchup, right now, I let that cunning Aussie hype me up too much.

[Matthew Barry]

Yeah, that's right. You are a cunning Aussie.

[Jay]

That was the right call, by the way. There was Kenny Atkinson, the coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Last night, he referenced Tyrese Proctor, Australian player, as being Aussie tough. No one's ever referred to me as Aussie tough.

[Matthew Barry]

No, no, no.

[Jay]

My entire life, I've been weak. Yeah.

[Matthew Barry]

Aussie soft.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[Matthew Barry]

Aussie soft. I like.

[Jay]

Yeah, yeah.

[Matthew Barry]

But I will say this, Jay. I want to because I want to. You know me. I have fondness for Australia, Obviously. I love K. I'm the co author of Crocodile D in Los Angeles.

[Connor Rogers]

That is true.

[Matthew Barry]

This is true. So, like, I have a fondness in my heart for Australia, just not all Australians, like, you know, not. Not the biggest fan of Paul Hogan. And. But I will say this. Favorite rivalry and you hate Nicole Kidman. You hate her.

[Connor Rogers]

Wow.

[Matthew Barry]

No, no, no, no.

[Jay]

But.

[Matthew Barry]

But Kate Blanchett should never come near me. I'm trying to come from another Australia.

[Connor Rogers]

Here's what.

[Matthew Barry]

No, but here's what I want to say. I wanted to say this. I want to say this about Australia. The fact that you are soft is not. Because you're from Australia.

[Jay]

Yes.

[Matthew Barry]

I mean, just like.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[Matthew Barry]

It's unfair. Yeah. You're just soft in general.

[Jay]

Soft independence.

[Connor Rogers]

Oh, no, that's a Diet Coke. Anyways, I'll keep us going while Matthews cleans up the mess.

[Matthew Barry]

Go to a single shot of Jay, for the love of God, while I clean this up.

[Connor Rogers]

Fantastic performances for Cowboys Eagles. Destruction everywhere. Oh, sticky soda.

[Jay]

What the hell is wrong with you?

[Connor Rogers]

Jalen hurts. With over 30 fantasy points, George Pickens goes nuclear. What a contract year he has. As the chat calls you the Spiller.

[Matthew Barry]

Yeah, the Spiller.

[Jay]

There's no Spiller.

[Matthew Barry]

Is right. Oh, my goodness.

[Jay]

That's what you get for tarnishing Cate Blanchet's goodness.

[Matthew Barry]

That's right. That's exactly what I get.

[Connor Rogers]

That's karma.

[Matthew Barry]

Yeah, it's totally right.

[Connor Rogers]

What a comeback it was for the Cowboys. The Eagles got out early, 21 nothing. And then the Cowboys really floored it in the second half. I mean, Jay is. Are we living in a world where George Pickens is the wide receiver one in Dallas right now? He looks a lot more confident than CD Lamb at the moment.

[Jay]

The spiller from StuntmanShock 85?

[Matthew Barry]

Yeah, I guess.

[Jay]

I mean, let's be clear.

[Matthew Barry]

Let's be clear. We're gonna see that again. We'll see that clip again. I'm almost positive that Adam's gonna use that as the open tomorrow, which is great. Can't wait to see that.

[Connor Rogers]

Content over cleanliness.

[Jay]

You can have my notes.

[Matthew Barry]

Thank you very much.

[Connor Rogers]

I appreciate that. Saved your iPad.

[Matthew Barry]

Oh, thank you. You're the best.

[Jay]

I mean, who's been.

[Matthew Barry]

Kevin's the best, too. Kevin over here helping clean up my.

[Jay]

Who's been a better wide receiver this year than George Pickens outside of JSN and maybe Puka Nakua.

[Connor Rogers]

The fact is he third.

[Jay]

It's unbelievable.

[Connor Rogers]

Like every time the ball's in the air and he's the target, you are. He was 4 for 4 on contested catches yesterday.

[Jay]

Yeah, I mean, he's gone from playing in a cold weather city with very suspect quarterback play to playing in a dome with an elite quarterback now in Dak Prescott. And I didn't know that the Cowboys offense had this performance in them. Like, why did they struggle so much relatively against the Cardinals and then can just light up the Eagles defense in the second half. But yeah, I don't think there's that many takeaways outside of the fact that George Pickens is an absolute monster and he's a legit wide receiver. One CD Lamb. I still think going forward, I'd still project him as the better guy in the Dallas pass game. And his game yesterday was tarnished by those drops, particularly in the end zone. But yeah, this is an elite offense. And you start. Obviously you're starting Lamb Pickens, Ferguson every weekend. Javante.

[Connor Rogers]

Got a question?

[Matthew Barry]

Scott McClory 8312 Barry was doing his best CD Lamb impression. Well done, sir. It was a bunch of drops, a bunch of spills. So people that are just listening here, I actually had two. Two cups of beverages. And like, you know, because I talk with my arms. And while I was sitting there. This is karma. Because while I was sitting there making fun of Jay, calling him soft.

[Jay]

Yes. And Cate Blanchett. Blanchett.

[Matthew Barry]

And Cate Blanchett. Beloved, you know, beloved princess Cate Blanchett. I spilled literally liquid all over myself. I'm now sitting. I'm now sitting in a. She's America's sweetheart. Right. But even though she's not America, Australian sweetheart. Cate Blanchett, great American act, great actress. Not American. And what I would say. No, no. I'm currently sitting in a chair that is soaked. And so I had. Anyway, there's liquid all over. My notes are crazy. We didn't even get to talk about Kareem hunt, who's the 15th best running back in fantasy on a points per game basis since week number eight. Giving you consistency there. He gets in the end zone. I don't know that there's much else to talk about the Chiefs because we're. I know we're onto the Cowboys. Yeah.

[Jay]

We left that game on. Yeah. Yeah.

[Matthew Barry]

But I just wonder. We're actually almost done with the Cowboys.

[Jay]

The Colts. Chiefs is in a pool of diet cooks.

[Matthew Barry]

I mean, like, I don't know that they're. They play the Chiefs on Thanksgiving. The Cowboys do. So it sort of works out right here. But is there. I'm trying to think, is there a free agent move, an off season move that was more impactful maybe than George Pickens to the Cowboys, Gary Jones, a genius. I don't know.

[Connor Rogers]

I'm slightly kidding.

[Matthew Barry]

Slightly kidding.

[Jay]

The Seahawks signed Sam Darnold. It might make the Super Bowl. So I think that's probably number one because he's right back. And also I know we just written him off and you want him bench for Anthony Richardson, but Daniel Jones is still a fantastic free agent signing for the Colts.

[Connor Rogers]

Right.

[Jay]

But George Pickens, outside of the quarterback position. Yeah. He has to be the number one.

[Matthew Barry]

I mean, it was, it. It revived.

[Jay]

Michael Parsons was pretty big as well.

[Matthew Barry]

Yeah, of course. But I mean. Right. But you know, completely Picken. It turned Pickens career around and it has made Dak look as good as he's ever looked. I mean, you know, Dak is playing at an elite level right here. And so. Oh, and we're getting a new chair for me because this one's all.

[Jay]

So I don't think you deserve it.

[Matthew Barry]

I don't.

[Jay]

I think you should have to sit in the dia.

[Matthew Barry]

Probably should.

[Connor Rogers]

You know, it's funny, when I got to work today, I saw Kevin, our stage director, very early and I said, Kevin, are you slumming it with us today? And he's always in a good mood. Mood. And he was excited for the show, but now I look back at it like I was dead serious. Like, he has to work three times as hard on this show.

[Matthew Barry]

That's a horrific. And now my. Like I can. Yeah. Stuntman Chuck Barry can still absorb the Diet Coke by sitting at it. That is what I am.

[Connor Rogers]

Does it make you stronger?

[Matthew Barry]

I have. I have Diet Coke ass right now, America. That's what I do have. It's unbelievable. Like, it shows doom, you know, I.

[Jay]

Remember having to give my one year old baby medicine that way once. Yeah, you have to congest. Yeah, that way.

[Matthew Barry]

Look, the important part is that it's.

[Connor Rogers]

I want to go home.

[Matthew Barry]

Whether it goes through my mouth or just seeps in my pores. The important part is that I have. I have that beautiful. I have that beautiful liquid coursing through my body at all times.

[Connor Rogers]

That's an image.

[Matthew Barry]

Desperate for it. Yeah, you're right. I apologize to America. I apologize to the good people at Diet Coke who don't want to be associated with me, I'm sure. And I apologize to Cate Blanchett who.

[Connor Rogers]

Got roped into this explicitly.

[Matthew Barry]

And Matthew Stafford, by the way, our MVP is gonna be like, really? Like, why are you wearing nine when you do this, you moron? You. You jabroni.

[Jay]

That's all right. I'll text Kite. There's an Australian text chat. Is there everyone in Australia.

[Connor Rogers]

Aaron Cashman in the chat goes, wow, this show is chaos. First time here.

[Jay]

Yeah. Saquon Barkley. Anyway, panic level sky high. He doesn't. One, they haven't been able to block for him all year. Two, he doesn't look like the same guy. He gets into space and it's like, ah, last year you would take that 60 yards to the house. Now you just get tackled or you fumble and cost the team the game. So very strange year for Saquon and I'm not sure it's going to get materially better.

[Matthew Barry]

Yeah, I mean, look, first off, I just want to give one shot before we move up the Cowboys entirely. I know you're trying to, but you're.

[Connor Rogers]

Consistently one team behind us right now, which is making for a great run.

[Matthew Barry]

Well, that's because I'm. Again, I'm. Okay, I'm mad about. I'm literally soaked in Diet Coke right now, and I'm all. I'm bamboozled and flustered but, well, caffeinated. Damn right I am. Look, no, I just wanted to say real quickly that we talk about. I don't think Jerry Jones is a genius, but I also.

[Jay]

Me neither.

[Matthew Barry]

But I. But I also think that he gets more grief than maybe he should. Like, since they. Since they traded for Quinn and Williams, they're the second best run defense in the NFL. They are second in pressure right now. One of those games was against the Raiders, so, you know, but they shut down. Saquon Barkley averaged 2.2 yards per carry.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[Matthew Barry]

And, like, I think it was a weird game because both the Cowboys and Eagles were like, no, you win it. No, no, you win it. You know, and they both tried to sort of lose it here. But. But Saquon Barkley, specifically. Jay, just to get back to what you were bringing up, since week six, he's running back 16 on a points per game basis. He's been under 14 fantasy points in five of the past six games. He's averaging 3.3 yards per carry in four of the past five for the entire season. You think about last year. When you think about Saquon Barkley last year having. Breaking those huge runs, this kind of stuff we're seeing Jameer Gibbs do this year. Well, he's done that twice this year. He's got two runs of 20 yards or more this entire season. Jay. Like, it's just. I don't know what it is, but it's the wor. It's so frustrating. But, like, I feel like they're the worst 8 and 3 team in football.

[Connor Rogers]

It does feel.

[Matthew Barry]

I mean, you know, they're great, but, like, it just.

[Jay]

The problem is The Broncos are 9 and 2. I think they're better than the Broncos.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah, sure.

[Jay]

Yeah, that's true.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah.

[Jay]

But no, I think it's just a combination of things. Here's the main thing, though. Saquon Barkley had almost like 500 touches last year. Like, running backs.

[Matthew Barry]

Just.

[Jay]

He took a lot of punishment last year. He's inching towards 30, playing extra games. Yeah. Extra Lane Johnson's missing. It's just a combination of factors, and I think also teams have decided, and it's really started with Spags in the super bowl being like, we're not going to let Saquon Barkley beat us like Jalen Hurts, you're going to have to beat us through the air. This past game is going to have to beat us and it hasn't been able to.

[Connor Rogers]

But I agree with you, Jay, that he doesn't have the same expl, like unique explosiveness that we're used to right now.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[Matthew Barry]

If there's a positive here is that the rushing that Saquon isn't getting. Jalen Hurts is getting 54% of his points in the last two games are from rushing. You know, he 7 for 33 in this one. Obviously he gets the tush push touchdown as well. Ultimately two rushing touchdowns and A.J. brown, another nice game here. It was good to at least see the wide receivers start getting going. I don't understand how, you know, Devontae Smith couldn't catch one Pat. You know, Jamen and Wando Robinson line up the Lions, but. But Devontae Smith last week couldn't get anything. I'm still bitter about that. Weird though, by the way, A.J. brown had all this production. The first quarter, doesn't catch another pass until the fourth quarter. Like this went away from the. The offense feels a little bit like a mess. But for our purposes, you're starting all the usual guys here. It's just. It was a weird one. It's a. It's a weird one. Am I crazy if I rank George Pickens over CD Lamb next week?

[Connor Rogers]

No, it was kind of the crux of our compliments.

[Jay]

I think it's crazy. I still think default to Lamb because he's not going to, you know. What did he catch like 4 out of 11 targets at one point yesterday? Yeah, I still think. I mean, it's close. It's definitely close.

[Matthew Barry]

The fact that it's a question tells you something.

[Connor Rogers]

This has been unbelievable. Speaking of questions, we have another one here from Johnny Dangerly. Is Barkley a buy low before the trade deadline?

[Jay]

The only reason why is that the schedule doesn't. They get the Bears on Friday, they.

[Matthew Barry]

Get the Commanders twice.

[Jay]

Yeah, yeah, true. Yeah, the Bears are a lot better than the than the Bears and they're seven point favorites in that game two against the Commanders. They have the Raiders as well, which is handy.

[Connor Rogers]

The Raiders are like the bingo space of the NFL right now.

[Jay]

It's unbelievable.

[Matthew Barry]

Yeah, they're their next four games. Yeah, their next four games are Bears at Chargers, home to the Raiders at the Commanders.

[Jay]

Pretty good. So also like the hard game left for them is against the Bills who can't stop the run.

[Matthew Barry]

That's right. So yes, I do think so. On Saquon. We talked about it last week on Keep it Open, close it out during blind date about how Barkley just has one of the best schedules remaining. You see it there on your screen. Yeah. And then week 17 for the fantasy title in most leagues. He's going to be at the Bill. So real nice opportunity there for Saquon Barkley.

[Connor Rogers]

All right, our next game, the Seahawks take care of business against a plucky Titans effort. A lot of points scored in this game. I thought Cam Ward played really good in this game. Before we get to that, guys, the story of the fantasy season is Jackson, Smith and jigba over 37 fantasy points yesterday. Matthew, he is currently on pace to break Calvin Johnson's single season receiving yard record.

[Matthew Barry]

Yeah, there's not much to say other than like he's the number one wide receiver. It's unbelievable. Seventh straight game with 20 or more fantasy points. It's tied for the longest such streak by a player so far this season. He's averaging 119 yards a game. Like that's his average, you know, like averaging 119 receiving yards per game. I think he gets to 2,000. I think he becomes the first wide receiver just Donald is locked in. It's crazy to me that they don't like. I don't know if they. Are they bracketing him and is this not working? Like, I don't understand like for this happen every week.

[Connor Rogers]

There's every week one down week. That's what's nuts about it. It's every week he gets his.

[Jay]

Yeah, it's. It reminds me of Cooper cup in 2021 where. But the thing is like cup was playing like a ton on the slot and moving around all the formation. And also like they had for a time they had like Robert woods when he was good and then they had Odell Beckham the second half. So like there were guys to take attention off of Cooper Cup. There's no. I don't. Yeah, I don't really get it either. But I think that jsn, his route running is so pristine. His balance is like unparalleled and then just like nothing comes off his hands. Like he is just. It's insane to me the crazy thing is like the deep ball and the contested ball stuff because he's not like.

[Matthew Barry]

He doesn't look like Calvin Johnson. Like he's not like this 6 foot 4 guy that you can average.

[Jay]

He just overcomes it with timing and balance. He's always on balance is the thing that stands out the most.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah see his route chart here from Next gen stats. He's been doing a little bit of everything at all three levels of the field. There's no reason to think JSN is going to slow down anytime soon. And on the Titans side though, this was an interesting game guys because I.

[Matthew Barry]

Think it's the quickly Just want to mention ken Walker played 61% of the snaps. That's a season highest snapshare has increased each of the past three weeks. Charbonnet gets the touchdown. Super annoying, but it just does every week. Right? But it does feel like at least you're starting to feel better about Walker's usage as it continues to increase. He continues to separate a little bit from Charbonnet to be the lead back of the Seattle Seahawks. I agree with you on this one though. This is the best I've seen Cam Ward look this year.

[Connor Rogers]

You saw some of the unique plays off script that he had in college come into this game. He goes into Monday Night Football as a top five quarterback on the weekend. He's QB4 with 24 points. He got running a little bit, got in the end zone on a rushing touchdown. Jay he doesn't have a lot to work with although Chimray DK has been a really nice second half of the season story, but Ken Ward is better than what this situation has allowed him to show.

[Jay]

Yeah, definitely. I think it started against Houston the week before, right?

[Connor Rogers]

It's a couple weeks now.

[Jay]

He needed to march down the field with two minutes left and score a touchdown against the Texans to unfortunately cover plus five and a half but also to tie the game up. And he did it and he had a huge third down conversion to Chig conqueror which is a perfect throw. He looks more comfortable. This is what happens with rookie quarterbacks as well. He gets the second half of the season he's coming off of bye as well. New head coach he seems to be coming much more into his own and we'll see they get him some real receivers next year. Then he can continue to trend up.

[Matthew Barry]

DK on fantasy football Pregame was my desperation Play. Works out 18% target share. He's had at least a 90% Rob participation in each of his last three healthy games. He's a top 10 wide receiver heading into Monday Night Football. Of course he had the special teams touchdown which helps but still you know it was very solid. Yes, good call that ended up working out. Titans by the way. Play the Jags next at Cleveland you don't love. But at San Francisco after that. So two of the next three for the Titans, Cam Ward you can see is potentially a streamer getting into the playoffs. Let's talk about those Jaguars here. Another bad game for Trebler. You know what's weird is the Trebler 17.1 fantasy points. So he's going to be, he's a top 10 quarterback as we head into Monday Night Football. Like you know he had the three passing touchdowns but just whatever, four turnovers. Like it was a good fantasy day and a bad NFL day.

[Connor Rogers]

Without a doubt. Just mistakes, mistakes. I mean the fact Jacksonville was in an overtime game and really fighting for their life at the end of regulation against Arizona. Right now Jacksonville is one of the most bipolar like high variance kind of teams in the NFL this year.

[Jay]

They are but the issue is, is that all the high outside of the Chiefs game, which they shouldn't have won outside of that like they're, their high points are coming up against like the Raiders and the Cardinals and they're losing games. They're blowing 18 point leads to Davis Mills. Like I just, I don't think this is a particularly good team Even though they're 7 and 4 and they're about to probably be 8 and 4 because they play the Titans. Yeah. But then they still got to play the Colts twice and I think that justice will be served to them there in the AFC south as the Colts take control of the division. But for our purposes, Jacoby Myers looks good and has a rapport with Trevor Lawrence. And the good thing with Trevor as well is that his moments of madness they're like interception touchdowns and stuff so you get the ball back. He replayed in high scoring games like so the chaos does lead to fancy production.

[Matthew Barry]

We thought it would take a little while for Jacobi Myers to get acclimated. But 91% route participation in this one. He's 23% target share over the last two weeks. Should have been started over Alec Pierce, you cunning Aussie. But also how about my guy Parker Washington, who now has 17 or more fantasy points in three past four games makes a great touchdown grab. Like you know, for a guy that's. That's good. I mean like they use. They look for him in the red zone as well. Breton Strange came back tight end four in utilization game and utilization score in since week in. In week 12 had 93 receiving yards. Here of course no Brian Thomas Jr be back. But suddenly like I'm sure we will talk about Breton Strange more tomorrow. On the on the waiver wire show. But just nice to see my toast for fantasy football pregame though. By the way, Connor was to Jacoby Brissette who understands the assignment.

[Connor Rogers]

Mr. Completions. Jacoby Brissette got a little banged up in this one at one point but Michael Wilson with no MARVIN HARRISON Wide receiver one status right now, almost 22 fantasy points. Jay almost won them the game at the end single handedly.

[Jay]

Yeah he did and I think he will still retain some value when Marvin Harrison comes back because they just they're throwing the ball so much and it seems like it's going to be Jacoby.

[Matthew Barry]

For the Forest back to back games with A team high 32% target share, there's been three wide receivers this year that have had multiple games of at least 10 receptions in at least 100 yards. Jamar Chase, Puka, Nakua and Michael Wilson, who apparently is one of the greatest wide receivers in the NFL. We just did not know until the last two weeks.

[Connor Rogers]

Scott McLory said if Wilson is scoring this much, why can't MHJ?

[Matthew Barry]

It's, it's maddening and it makes no sense.

[Connor Rogers]

He was definitely better with Brissette though. Like it felt like things were starting to turn. And then this story from Marvin Harrison.

[Jay]

I start setting completion records and he's on the shelf.

[Matthew Barry]

I think, I think that's a better right because again it's too small a sample size. I, I, I think that's a Kyler Murray question, not an Arvin Herring Jr.

[Commercial Narrator]

Question.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah, that's a great point. All right, let's take a look at the week 12 injuries we're going to be watching. Of course Baker Mayfield on Sunday Night Football got hurt going into the half with his non throwing shoulder. Ashton Genti with an ankle. Alvin Camara left the game and did not return with a knee injury. T. Higgins left the game with concussion.

[Matthew Barry]

That was bad. That one looks bad.

[Connor Rogers]

Rasheed Rice with a hamstring, DK Metcalf with an ankle and Michael Mayer with an ankle.

[Matthew Barry]

He came back after the but he just looked like he was sort of limping through. Although he had the big play at the end. Rice is one to one to watch as well. But I can't imagine Higgins play is the Bengals play Thursday night. I cannot imagine Higgins is playing.

[Connor Rogers]

I don't think we've ever had a player clear protocol on a short week.

[Jay]

No.

[Matthew Barry]

And that was, that was a scary hit. He was down for a while.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[Matthew Barry]

Baker at least it's his non throwing shoulder so we'll Right. We'll see how that plays out.

[Jay]

Baker might chop his arm off to play.

[Connor Rogers]

I agree. I was gonna say he probably didn't come back because of the lead.

[Jameis Winston]

Yes.

[Connor Rogers]

I think he would have played through the non throwing shoulder sprain.

[Jay]

It's not pretty, but it's encouraging to me that he did the injury, was able to come back in and then left after that.

[Matthew Barry]

Yeah, yeah.

[Connor Rogers]

I think the Bucks are being careful. Join in the Thanksgiving tradition. The National Dog show, presented by Purina, airs at noon on NBC as nearly 2,000 of the top dogs in the country compete for the title of best in show.

[Matthew Barry]

The Chi Chihuahua does not win. I'm just letting you know I got some inside dirt.

[Connor Rogers]

I like that.

[Matthew Barry]

If anyone wants to do that, all.

[Connor Rogers]

You betting folks, we're gonna take our first break. When we're back, weekend Warriors Sunday scaries after this.

[Connor Rogers]

Another guy that came in had 28 carries.

[Jay]

Appreciate it for the opportunity. Man. Let's get right here.

[Matthew Barry]

Weekend warriors.

[Connor Rogers]

Of course. That was the packers locker room celebration. Emmanuel Wilson tops the list here. 28 carats. Then if packers are going to do anything, they're going to establish it. 107 yards and most importantly, Matthew the two scores.

[Matthew Barry]

Yeah, he was unbelievable. One of them was, you know, kind of a bunny thing but career high 30 touches. Got 77% of the team's running back touches in a tough matchup here, Emmanuel Wilson. We expect Josh Jacobs back this week. Obviously it's a short week but if Jacobs can't go, Emmanuel Wilson proves that, you know, he was the guy. So he's one of the reasons why we talked about last Tuesday last like he is the waiver pickup of the week. You can start him. I think I had him running back 13 this week. As we head into Monday night Football. He's running back two on a points per game basis. Turns out I was high on him and not high enough.

[Jay]

Indeed. Also, America's national nightmare is cured. The packers finally took care of business against a team they're better than it was in close game in the fourth quarter against the Panthers or the Browns or the Bengals. Yeah, the jj Are you finally out.

[Matthew Barry]

On Jordan Love though?

[Jay]

No, he was, he was very efficient in his game. He just to do anything.

[Matthew Barry]

Yeah, he's just not a good fantasy option.

[Jay]

Yeah.

[Matthew Barry]

Better real life quarterback.

[Jay]

Yeah, he's an AP machine.

[Connor Rogers]

Speaking of American nightmares, Ashton Genti with a good fantasy today. Everybody relax. Not on the ground. Chip Kelly, by the way, fired last night. But eight receptions for 58 yards and a touchdown. J is what gets it done for Genti.

[Jay]

Yeah, I mean it's volume and that's all that's really going to do it for him at the moment because that that offense, that team just completely broken. Now maybe with Chip gone, something can change, but I don't think anything's really changed with the offensive line or with Geno. So Ashton Jensen, good fantasy day, bad day overall football wise and the team's a mess.

[Matthew Barry]

The Raiders don't have a lot to bank on. But look again, it's the Josie theory. Get the ball to your best player. 25 touches for ash and Genty last week on Sunday that was a season high he's now 18 or more touches in six the past eight games. You figure that whoever is replacing Chip Kelly says, all right, let's just figure out a way to get the ball in Genti's hands.

[Jay]

The Browns, by the way, the most relevant 3, 8 team in NFL history. Miles Garrett, Chase in the sack record. Carson Schlesinger, D Roy Favorite and Shadow Sanders is the national store.

[Connor Rogers]

Our next one, Derek Henry Matthew really just because of the touchdowns. 21 carries, 64 yards. But he got in the end zone twice on a sluggish day for the Ravens offense.

[Matthew Barry]

First time this season with back to back 20 point games for Derek Henry. We've talked about his schedule quite a lot. Bengals next, then the Steelers at Cincinnati again. So Cincinnati two of the next three. So King Henry if you've stuck with him. But yeah, it was ugly. Without the touchdowns he's just nothing. The whole Ravens offense like we'll talk about Lamar in a second. Like it's why is king Henry averaging.

[Jay]

Three yards a carry?

[Matthew Barry]

It's unbelievable.

[Jay]

Jets, it took over 85 and a half rushing hours. You told me it's 25, 21 carries against the Jets I'd assume he sails over by 40 yards. He had efficiency.

[Connor Rogers]

He had a big one towards the end of the game. Before that he was in like the 30 something yards.

[Jay]

It was.

[Matthew Barry]

Jets were playing tough. They showed some heart out there.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah. Welcome back. Hunter Henry, King of the waiver wires. Caught seven of 10 targets for 115 yards and a touchdown. As you said. Matthew, start the tight ends against the Bengals. They're the worst defense against tight ends.

[Matthew Barry]

First time scoring double digit fantasy points since week four. I think this is like hey, we thought he'd be good against the Bengals. He was good against the Bengals. He can go back to the bench for waiver wire. Yep.

[Connor Rogers]

Caleb Williams and D.J. moore J. Caleb Williams much better in the second half. In the first half of D.J. moore caught five or seven targets and he had two touchdowns.

[Jay]

Such a strange team. Caleb stats great overall but also goes like 19 for 35 against. Not a great past defense. DJ Moore finally awakens. The Bears are kind of a version of the Patriots where they have all these guys but you just don't know. Any ideas? No rhyme or reason week to week Week dunes more backfield mess. Don't have a great feel for this.

[Matthew Barry]

Deandre Swift had a bad fumble in this game and Kyle Menongay took over the backfield from that time. We'll talk about it more tomorrow I'm sure as well but I think there might be a changing of the guard. We'll see if that was just sort of a one time. Hey, you fumbled. Go. We're going to play the rookie or it's just like, you know what? My own guy's given him kind of a spark ever since he's gotten an opportunity. He gets into the end zone as well. But Caleb continues to put up fantasy points. It's. It's ugly. The. The fumble was brutal, but they end up with a win over the Steelers.

[Jay]

We're going to learn a lot about Caleb in this offense next two weeks. Eagles and packers both on the right.

[Matthew Barry]

Correct.

[Jay]

They play. They may not have played a good defense really outside of the Vikings all year.

[Matthew Barry]

And then home to Cleveland and then home to the packers again. Yes. So the next four is a. Is an unbelievable stretch. A tough one there. Right. For the bears. Yeah. And D.J. moore, 23% target share. There's a season high, only his third game this year with a more than 20% target share. But quietly, 22 or more fantasy points to the last four. Finally getting into that wide receiver three status that we thought he could be.

[Connor Rogers]

Our last weekend warrior. Matthew. Devonte Adams. All he does is catch touchdowns.

[Matthew Barry]

Yeah. I mean it's a fifth straight game with a touchdown. He's got nine total touchdowns in the stretch. Eleven end zone targets the last five. I don't know if you saw it, but Jason Garrett interviewed Matthew Stafford and he just before the game on football night in America and Stafford was just like. When they came to Devonte Adams, he just said, I've never. His red zone ability is like nothing I've ever seen. And like it was just. It was the first and goal in the two and I'm like, oh, they're giving to Kyron Williams. Because I had a Matthew Stafford as part of my parlay was two touchdowns for Stafford. It's like, nope. Quick little fade to devonte Adams. Boom. Touchdown.

[Jay]

It is crazy how the fade past the Devontae at the goal line is literally their version of the tush push.

[Matthew Barry]

Yeah.

[Connor Rogers]

Sunday Scaries headlined, as you hinted, Matthew by Lamar Jackson. Jay. Not much going for the air for Lamar and more importantly for Fantasy. He's not as willing and eager to run like we're used to. He just doesn't look up nearly 100%.

[Jay]

Basically. Ever since week one against the Bills, he's looked like a shadow of himself physically. His passing is off. Everything just seems off with this offense. Like, why is this a game at home against the jets in the fourth quarter? Like they just couldn't get anything going in Lamar. I mean, he still obviously have to start Lamar, but he.

[Matthew Barry]

Do you.

[Jay]

I mean, this has been maybe the worst two week stretch of his career.

[Matthew Barry]

Since week 10, he's QB26 on a points per game basis. He's had under 15 rushing yards in three of the four games since returning. He's not running. I don't know if he's right or not. It's the first time in his career with zero touchdowns in back to back games. Now you're starting them this week because they play Cincinnati. They're home to Cincinnati. And that's the thing that we just talked about with Derrick Henry. Cincinnati, home to Cincinnati, home to Pittsburgh, at Cincinnati, home to New England. But I'm just like, he'll probably be back to Lamar on Thursday night. Kevin, go ahead and come in here. Poor Kevin is just like. Just like me. Thank you very much. Here's Kevin, our stage manager. Unbelievable. Thank you. God bless. I'll try not to spill this as well. Kevin's. Kevin is. Well, he saw me talking about Lamar Jackson. He's like, you know who else needs help? Barry. You know. Exactly. It's the two of us. Two of us struggling.

[Jay]

He took a hamstring two months ago. Like, why isn't it. I don't know. It's very strange with Lamar.

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah, he's just, he's not his full.

[Matthew Barry]

Self and it's affecting everything. I mean, like speaking of. They should have killed the jets and they.

[Connor Rogers]

Speaking of affecting everything. Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. A nice goose egg for Addison. Through the air. No receptions. Justin Jefferson caught 4 for 48.

[Jay]

Yep.

[Connor Rogers]

I mean, you still have to start.

[Jay]

Justin Jefferson because he's Justin Jefferson.

[Connor Rogers]

You don't feel great.

[Jay]

Yeah. I don't think you start. You don't start any other Viking. J.J. mcCarthy. I don't know.

[Matthew Barry]

In the six games with J.J. mcCarthy, he's averaging under 12 fantasy points per game. He's been under 50 receiving yards in four of the six games. He's got only two receiving touchdowns on the season. As we head into Monday football, Justin Jefferson is wide receiver, 35 on the week. And next week they're at Seattle. Does J.J. mcCarthy start at Seattle?

[Connor Rogers]

He does. But they are going to acquire some kind of significant veteran help this offseason. They have to.

[Matthew Barry]

This is a debate we had in the room and I know we got to move on.

[Connor Rogers]

They're going to go to Max Brosmart.

[Matthew Barry]

What's worse for JJ McCarthy going to Seattle and getting his ass kicked again or Being benched for Max Brosnan before they go to Seattle don't think it.

[Jay]

Matters to be honest. I think he's the guy.

[Matthew Barry]

It's pretty bad. I mean Jordan addison wide receiver 91 target zero reception. I mean like Jordan Addison is you can't use any of them as well. Tough game for Kyron Williams. We just talked about this like again they got in close, they did whatever they wanted. I felt like this is more game script. Again we know Tampa Bay has a good run defense and a bad secondary and just Stafford was doing whatever he could. MVV candidate Stafford if I wind up holding on to beat up beat Roto Pat in our league it is thanks to number nine who had a big.

[Jay]

Game to win MVP minus 2 10.

[Jameis Winston]

Wow.

[Commercial Narrator]

Yeah.

[Connor Rogers]

All right Emeka Buka and Stefan Diggs wide receivers on this list. Jay neither Eclipse neither gets at 35 yards.

[Jay]

Yeah mecha Buka really struggling seems against man coverage just hasn't he's five of his past six games he's basically done not much at all. Stefan Diggs again a victim of that Patriots offense that week to week just seems to rapidly change. Then we spoke about DeAndre Swift. Eight carries for 15 yards, one catch of 14 yards. Very inconsistent usage in that offense.

[Matthew Barry]

Manangai outs out snapped DeAndre Swift 5 to 1 in the red zone after the fumble. Things will get better for Abuka and Diggs I believe. Arizona next up for Tampa Bay. Tampa New England plays the Giants. Obviously Baker Mayfield's injury affected Abuka as well. I'm having patience with Abuka and Diggs. I'm a little nervous about DeAndre's Swift.

[Connor Rogers]

We're taking one more break. When we're back it's last call. We got our Monday Night Football preview for Niners Panthers right after this.

Giraffe King sportsbook is an official sports betting partner of the NFL and new customers could bet $5 and get $200 in bonus bets. If your wins down the app and use promo code FFHH when you sign up drafting Sportsbook, the crown is yours. Cyber last call. We got Monday Night Football on deck. Here's the most bet player props. The public is loving that Christian McCaffrey receiving yard alt line of 25 plus for a sweet minus 275 of minus 435. Jay, what do you got for us?

[Jay]

Okay, I'm gonna be a little bit more adventurous than that. I'm gonna take tea. Over 66 and a half receiving yards, he's had 20 targets across the past two weeks. He went 8 for 130 last week. They're moving around the formation more, using more on the slot and also Niners can't get pressure so they have no edge rushing people left on the team. So I think Bryce Young will have time and he'll be able to feed the new offensive rookie of the year favorite, Tedaroa McMillan.

[Connor Rogers]

What about you Matthew?

[Matthew Barry]

Give me Juwan Jennings over 46 and a half receiving yards. Like he's gone over this number each the last two weeks as well. I don't think Carolina will be able to get this is their different offense under Brock Purdy. So yeah, Juwan Jennings. This just this feels like too low a number for me. 46 and a half for a very the number one wide receiver on a good passing offense with Brock Purdy.

[Jay]

And as you said in ad break, you believe in Juwan James much like Father Christmas.

[Matthew Barry]

I do believe in Juwan Jennings. I think he's their best wide receiver. I know Ricky Pierce Hall's back obviously and you like George Kittle?

[Connor Rogers]

Yeah, I believe in George Kittle. Fifteen catches over the last two games. His receptions number is set at four and a half. So I like the over on that tonight. The connection between him and Purdy is great. Panthers good defense but actually a bottom 10 defense against tight ends.

[Matthew Barry]

Yeah, I like all those plays as well. You see here we think Brock Purdy has a big game here. Obviously you're starting McCaffrey and Dowdle. We have T. Mac at wide receiver 12. But you see it right there. I put it where Juwan Jennings at wide receiver 20. Pearsall makes his should be more involved tonight at wide receiver 31. And obviously Kittle's the top three play. Jalen Coker. Now Dr. Denny Carter mentioned him as his flexual frustration. Jalen Coker. Cokeheads unite. They're bad against the slight. The nine. The the niners are bad against the slot. So be interesting to see if Jalen Coker can take advantage tonight.

[Jay]

Yeah, big game. You might have to bump him up your rankings.

[Connor Rogers]

Oh, look at this. Look at that.

[Jay]

Look.

[Matthew Barry]

There you go.

[Jay]

There.

[Matthew Barry]

There's a replay.

[Connor Rogers]

Look at the sheer panic on my face.

[Matthew Barry]

That's stupid Dev.

[Connor Rogers]

No, no, no.

[Connor Rogers]

Unbelievable. Look at that. You can't play it enough. Good lord. I just. I'm a. It's closing time. You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here for Jay and Connor and Supa. Dev, I'm Matthew. I'm gonna go clean myself up. Peace out.
