A (1:21)

The Rangers, he wasn't old enough to experience the joy of their last title.

B (1:25)

Mets, Jets, Rangers. Works with me every day. It is a life of sadness.

A (1:33)

It's not great for Conor Rodgers.

B (1:35)

Yeah, he's forced to make his living Knicks being nice to me.

A (1:38)

Big Knicks fan.

B (1:39)

Yeah.

A (1:40)

No title since 73. It's tough out there for Conor Rodgers. It's amazing he's able to maintain as bubbly an exterior as he does on a day to day basis.

B (1:48)

Before we get into this, I'm constantly being told by people in America that he's not as good as Todd Zeal.

A (1:52)

Yeah, it's tough. It's tough out there for Connor J. Rogers. Anyway, before we get into love hate, Matthew, you take on many forms. You're a leather daddy, a sore loser daddy, and you're also a Cheshire cheer daddy.

B (2:06)

Yeah, you know what, Jay? You're absolutely right. It is the love hate show. So I wanted to Start the show with some love. And you know who drinks free is my daughter and her entire team, the Cheshire Junior cheer team. Now, of course, they're all 14 years old, so they Shirley Temples for free. They're not getting any booze. You know, we do cards. But here the girls are at the American Youth Church National Championship. We went there last week and I wanted to wait until today to talk about this, when we had a little bit more time until it was the Love Hate show and I could spend some love, because these girls, these girls that you're looking at right here, are the second best team in the entire freaking country. This team from a town of 30,000 in Cheshire, Connecticut. There's me and my wife and our daughters. Afterwards, they're holding the second place trophy. There was a Christmas tree in the hotel lobby. Very lovely as well. There's me. I'm wearing my proud Cheshire cheer dad T shirt. As you can see, my daughter's faces. They were sort of like, dad, just get this photo over with. Like, no, I demand it. But they were absolutely great. They won their locals. I'll just very quickly tell you that it is a local team, that they take all comers. You know, there are some professional teams where, like, you have to try out and they've got private gyms and professional coaches. This is a team of just all kids. Like, if your check clears and the mom signs the waiver, you're on the team. And the kids work their ass off. It's a brand new team, a bunch of seventh grader, eighth graders. And they went, they won their local division. They won the state of Connecticut. They were first in the state of Connecticut. They qualified at regionals. They went to nationals, and they finished second in the entire country in the D14 large level two division at the AYC championships. And some people, and by some people, I mean this guy thought they actually should have been the national champion. Jay Zara controversy. Yeah, there was some. There's some judging controversy, if I'm being honest with you, because they were in second place in day one, and the third place team somehow jumped them. I don't know, I thought they were number one. They're champions in my heart, but they're officially second in the entire country. And it's an unbelievable accomplishment for these young ladies and their coaches, who they all just work their butts off. And so I'm incredibly proud of them. They drink for free today. They drink for free, for life, when they're of age, of course. But Shirley Temple's all around for The Cheshire Junior Cheer Rams.

A (4:28)

Okay. Congratulations to Samantha and Brooke and the whole team. You mentioned that anyone can join the team.

B (4:34)

Yes.

A (4:34)

Like the Indianapolis Colts.

B (4:36)

Yes, sir.

A (4:36)

It's kind of a similar situation there as we jump into love hate running backs. We should have the top 10 still. And Indianapolis Colt. There we go. Jonathan Taylor. Colt comes in at number eight, even if his quarterback is almost twice his age. But I want to start off talking about Derek Henry. Matthew. Derrick Henry. It's gone a little under the radar this year. It was a tough start. He had the fumbling issues. Wasn't really. Hasn't really been in the vicinity of the year that he had last year. But quietly, he's still Derek Henry. He comes in at running back five for you. And he has a very favorable matchup against the Bengals.

B (5:11)

I mean, that's the point, right? You know, do we think Jarrett Henry's gets 15 touches against the Bengals?

A (5:16)

We do.

B (5:16)

And so running backs that have seen at least that number against Cincy this year, averaging over 20 fantasy points per game, they give the most rushing yards per game to opposing running backs this season. And so, you know, the Ravens, who are two and a half point favorites in this game, should obviously be, you know, in positive or at least neutral game script where they're going to run Derrick Henry a lot. It's a cold game. This game's in Cincinnati. I think they're going to want King Henry to get in the end zone. So, yeah, he's, he's my running back five and you know, he's not doing anyone any good on my team in our league because sadly I'm, you know, I'm gonna, you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna play the loser bracket.

A (5:54)

Yeah, you're gonna play it out?

B (5:54)

Yeah, I'm gonna play it out.

A (5:55)

Yeah.

B (5:56)

A lot of times I just say, you know, whatever.

A (5:57)

That could actually be a good look for you. Be the best loser. Be the best of the losers.

B (6:02)

That's right. That's what I'm gonna do. That's what, you know, like whatever I tell my daughters, it's not about the end result. It's about, you know, doing your best. They ended up becoming winners. I unfortunately lost out on a tiebreaker, as you know, but I gave everyone a seven game head start. So, you know, seven and seven, we gotta be on. You have to be in. No one else had a seven game win streak in our league.

A (6:23)

Is that true or are you just saying that?

B (6:24)

No.

A (6:24)

Even have we verified it.

B (6:26)

I was told there'd be no Fact checking.

A (6:27)

Yeah, you're probably right.

B (6:30)

I don't think anyone. I also don't think anyone had a seven game losing streak.

A (6:32)

No, exactly. Unbelievable. Anyway, anyway, Derek Henry against the Bengals. We like them, the Bengals, their defense. I think there were murmurs. Maybe the Bengals defense is fixed a little bit. Well, if they can generate five turnovers every game like they did against the Ravens last time around, then they're fixed. They also gave up, what is it, 39 points to the Bills and that included James Cook fumbling at the 1. So this is still a very bad defense and ultimately one that King Henry should be able to pop off for. We haven't had a, you know, 190 yard, two touchdown Derrick Henry game in a while. Perhaps this is the moment with the Ravens having this season.

B (7:06)

I might, I might call up Mr. King and say I want to throw a few bucks down on Derek Henry for two touchdowns at what I'm sure is plus money.

A (7:12)

Certainly plausible. Okay, love, Listen. Devon HN against the Steelers on Monday night. Hn we expect him to play. Yes. Expecting him to play. All the reporting has been that the ribs issue was just precautionary and that he could have come back in. They were destroying the jets, so no reason to bring him back. He looked like he was on pace for 190 yard, two touchdown type before he went down. Steele's rush defense has been inconsistent. We saw a couple of weeks ago what James Cook and the Bills are able to do on the ground against them. And the one thing the Steelers do well is they generate quick pressure. They still have the passerage. Even if TJ Watts not peak TJ Watt, they're still able to generate pressure quickly. And so I think that Mike McDaniel will want to not put to a tag of I lower in those situations. Try and lean on the run in that. And Devon Hn, who again, because the dolphins are 6 and 7, they started so poorly. The United has gone a little under the radar that, you know, if we're redrafting today, Devon HN goes in the top four picks.

B (8:07)

There's no question about it. It's unbelievable. And it's, it's what's really impressive about Devon HN, who's one of the people on the wall that that's representing themselves well, is that, is that it's been such a poor offensive environment.

A (8:20)

Yeah.

B (8:20)

Credit to Mike McDaniel. Like, you're like, if you're a defensive coordinator, you're like, all right, I got to stop waddle. I got to stop HN and then I got to stop. Yeah, that's about it. Yeah. I mean, Darren Wall is going to run some routes out there, but whatever, you know, I mean, like it's, it's a fairly narrow group of people that you have to worry about. And yet HN has still been just absolutely terrific.

A (8:40)

They have the same record as the Kansas City Chiefs 6 and 7. People talk about Mike McDaniel getting fired after three weeks and they have the same record as the Chiefs.

B (8:48)

It's unbelievable. I mean they don't, they don't have the history of the three Super bowl appearances. But. But I do think McDaniel probably has saved his job.

A (8:56)

Absolutely. Team plays hard. And I think whatever you want to say about Mike McDaniel, I don't think anyone questions his acumen as an offensive mind and scheme and what he's able to generate where the, the shine is off to her. No one thinks that that's Tua who is driving success in that offense. It's McDaniel. It's HNTUA.

B (9:13)

They lost. They lost Tyreek Hill and you know, McDaniel could get the plays in a little quicker. That would help sometimes.

A (9:19)

This does seem to be a strange little issue he has anyway. Devon hn, he was lining up the jets before he got hurt. Now Travis ETN gets the jets, the Jags double digit favorites and the jets who kind of been waiting for that game against the Dolphins for them to let go of the rope because they had a little dead cat bounce, a little dead jet boun beating teams like the Falcons the previous week. But this is a very favorable matchup for etn.

B (9:43)

Yeah, I mean teams facing the jets this season are averaging the third most running back rushes per game over. Over 25 rushes per game. Sort of makes sense. It's a stat that kind of tells you what, you know, teams get up big on the jets and then they're able to run against them. Right. And then what. What the. Liam Cohen has done really well here with Travis ETN is sort of hide Trevor Lawrence a little bit. Right. You know, and just basically. But used the run game. He used it so effectively last year with Bucky Irving down the stretch especially. And we're seeing the same with Travis Etienne who since week nine, Travis Etienne has the second most red zone rushes, red zone touches, I should say in the NFL. And he's had at least 15 fantasy points in five of the past six. We've seen some of the big playability come back for Travis etn. We've seen him burst some. They're actually starting to use him a little bit in the passing game as well. And so all the Bashal Tutin shares out there and I had a decent amount of them are decided like he's a hand, he's a handcuff. He's an insurance running back at the moment right now because Travis ETN is the main number one running back on a, on a functional offense.

A (10:46)

It looks like a good offense recently.

B (10:49)

It will look like a good offense against in the Jets. And the other thing is is like it feels like it's trending towards Brady Cook starting for the Jets.

A (10:57)

Yeah. Which is good because that means it's going to be a lot of three and outs and a lot of the Jags.

B (11:01)

That's right. And they're up big in the second half and then they're running Travis ETN.

A (11:04)

Ye and also credit to Trevor Lawrence who was, I don't think played particularly well this year. He was fantastic against the Colts and does give you hope that maybe as we get into deeper in the second half of the season he gets more acclimated. Lynn Combs offense gets that rapport with Jacoby Myers. This is just going to be a better and more explosive offense and one that you want shares in going forward, which is good news for Travis Etienne and on offense that you definitely want shares in the Buffalo Bills and James Cook love list for me against the Patriots I think there's this perception that the Patriots have a strong defense which over the course of the season it's been fine against an easy schedule, but their rush defense has fallen off a cliff. Yeah. Since week nine they are the worst rush defense in the NFL by success rate allowed and I think even by the eye test like Devin Singletary was getting yards Monday night game, they haven't been effective against the run. And the thing with Buffalo is that they are perfectly happy to lean into James Cook. James Cook has more carries this year than Jonathan Taylor. He leads the NFL in carries. I think we think of James Cook as that prototypical Jonathan Taylor last year. Derek Henry, Saquon Barkley type of back. He gets more carries than anyone and he's over five yards per carry. This is an elite running back in a favorable matchup against the Patriots in a game. Again, they're not going to hold back in this game. This is season, not season line, but division, very much on the line. So James Cook, I would project him to have more rushing yards than anyone this week.

B (12:31)

Yeah, no, I, I like that. You know, over the last four weeks they're, you know they're a bottom 12 run defense in terms of rushing yards allowed per game. And so Cook has been using more in the, in the passing game. And I'm not worried about the, the fumble into the end zone. I mean it was freezing cold, everything like that, you know, so I think they go back to James Cook as well. So I'm in, I'm in on that.

A (12:50)

Okay, let's take a look at some others receiving votes headlined by Woody Marks, who is getting usage. The long runs haven't been there, the touchdowns haven't been there. But he is a nine point favorite against the Cardinals.

B (13:03)

Yeah, we talked about him a little bit. Yes. Yesterday. Just about again, like he's getting a lot of work, but it hasn't really translated into fantasy points. I will say that I'm more optimistic this week than I think I ever have and it's a lot because of the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona is allowing the fourth most fantasy points to opposing running backs. They're actually tied for the third most rushing touchdowns allowed to running backs. And so Woody Marks, who is averaging 21 touches a game over the last four, you know, he is getting the work. It hasn't always turned into fantasy production, but I think it might against Arizona. He's a flex play. RJ Harvey against the packers look season highs in snap rate and touches and target share last week. Harvey continues to earn more and more of that role for the, for the Broncos as well. Last six running backs to face Green Bay Jay have all seen at least a 12% target share. And so Harvey, who's so dangerous, if they can get him into space, they're going to need him in this home game against the Packers. I just, I think when I think about that defense, you know, one of the ways to keep Michael Parsons from destroying your quarterback is just keep handing it off.

A (14:04)

Yeah. And also activating the screen game as well, which we saw Ben Johnson do a little bit of Broncos two and a half point dogs at home in that game. Not a lot of respect for the one seed in the AFC going up against a Packers team that is rounding into form.

B (14:18)

By the way. They're right.

A (14:20)

Yeah. No, I like the Packers.

B (14:21)

Yeah. I think the Broncos are fraudulent. I mean, I just. The weird thing is, is like the Broncos are like the Chiefs last year where the Broncos, it was just like they can't keep getting away with this. Yeah, that's what we said about the Chiefs last year. The difference is, is that the Chiefs had Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid and a really good defense. Denver has A really good defense.

A (14:40)

They remind me of that first year of Kevin O' Connell with Kirk Cousins where they went 13 and 4 but had like a negative point differential where it's like, yeah, this is a good, solid team, but it's not a 13 and 14.

B (14:52)

It's an elite defense. Denver has an elite defense. Yeah, but the offense, you're sort of.

A (14:56)

Like, it's not great. They got a good O line. Bonix doesn't take sacks, but there's not a lot of upside there. Question from Josh in my flex. R.J. harvey or Terry McLaren?

B (15:06)

I'm going to go with Harvey here. Look, we like McLaurin's matchup against the Giants, of course, with Mario Tuh, but we just. I just talked about RJ Harvey, who's my running back 16. I just. I feel like he's got the better chance at a touchdown here as well. So it's close, but I'm going to go with RJ Harvey as my pick. By the way, one other running back that's. Others receiving votes, Devin Neal, who you know is just. Again, I'm assuming Alvin Kamara is going to be out again. If he's not, I take this back. But assuming as we sit here on a Thursday that if, if Camara is out or, you know, even like hampered. Devin Neal played 76% of the snaps over the last three weeks with Camara banged up. By the way, that's top seven among running backs in the National Football League. You know, he's averaging over 18 touches a game. And this Panthers defense, again, they're like, it's solid, but like the run game, the run defense does not scare you for Carolina. Since week 10, Panthers allow the 10th most fantasy points. I'm sorry, the fifth most fantasy points to opposing running backs. So since week 10, the fifth most running backs. Fifth most fantasy points to opposing running backs. Good Lord. There we go.

A (16:12)

Sims to one. Which do you start? Manungai Rico or Devon Neal?

B (16:17)

That's a tough one here. I'm actually going to say, again, assuming Kamara is out, I'm going to say Devin Neal because I'm a believer in the Chewbler or the Chubbler, whatever that was. Yeah, well, he's Chuba Hubbard, but he's the Chubbler. We've always referred to him as a chubbler. I've screwed that up. So I just, I think that, I mean, I have them basically back to back each other. Devin Neal and Rico Dowdle. Right. Which I'm hedging my bets a little bit on Camara. But like I feel a little bit better about Devon Neal at the moment. So I'm hedging my bets on that rank just in case you're wondering about the rankings there.

A (16:55)

But I would go Devon Neal because I think that as a people I.

B (16:59)

Just think Chuba Hubbard looks so much better and out of the buy another week.

A (17:02)

Healthier dowdles trending in the wrong direction. Neal trending in the right direction. I think we need to open our minds to the possibility that Tyler Schuck is just to going good. Like he has played well in recent weeks. He's 14th by PFF grade among all quarterbacks across the season. He just looks the part as well. He made some outstanding throws against the Bucks using his legs. And that's not to say that I think that Tyler Chuck's one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. But I do think that he is capable of running a competent offense that's going to get into scoring position against a defense that's not that terrifying. So Devon Neal, certainly a guy who could swing some matchups the final few weeks in this week.

B (17:36)

No question. Again, it all depends on Camara's health.

A (17:39)

Yeah. Also the Saints, their schedule down the stretch, unbelievable. It's comical. Like they fantasize this week where they are two and a half point dogs. Then it's like Jets, Titans, Falcons, very real chat and they won this past week. They may end the season on a five game winning streak. New Orleans Saints get to 7 and 10. Might have the same record as the Chiefs by the end of the year.

B (17:57)

Kellen Moore, coach of the year. Yeah, there you go. All your Kyle Shanahan tickets up in smoke.

A (18:02)

Kelmore, he's done a good job. He runs a ship.

B (18:04)

He has done a good job. There's talent efficiencies there. But they play hard for him. They've been competitive. He's gotten, he's gotten more out of Tyler Schuck than I think anyone expected and honestly more out of Spencer Rattler. Yeah, I mean, you know, like they.

A (18:17)

Also like they lost some coin flip games at the start of the year. That's it's not a good team. But they're certainly. They are well culture. Yeah. It's not a disaster. They don't punt games away. So yeah. Their future is. Is brightish bright adjacent in New Orleans. Yeah.

B (18:32)

Who that. Who Dad. I will say but that schedule, when you talk about the jets and the Titans, everything, that's one of the reasons why I think the Saints for leagues that play with defenses, I Think the Saints are a very sneaky, streamable defense throughout the fantasy playoffs because the schedule they'll face.

A (18:45)

Yep. Okay, let's jump to the hate list, headlined by Jalen Warren against the Dolphins. The Dolphins had a much improved run defense lately and Kenneth Gainwell still looms over everything in Pittsburgh.

B (18:56)

Yeah, I mean, that's the problem. I, I really like Jalen Warren. I think I'm the only one. Or they just. I said again, one of my better calls and I'm not super proud of this, but one of my better calls in the season, in the preseason. Go back and watch the tape in the preseason where I was just like.

A (19:13)

No one's gonna watch this tape.

B (19:14)

No, go ahead. Brady Clark might. Or Clark Brady. Yeah, who's our number one? Who's the guy that watches? No, no, no, no.

A (19:21)

Clark Brady.

B (19:21)

Clark Brady. Clark Brady. Our fan that watched all.

A (19:24)

No relation to Tom.

B (19:26)

Yeah, he might go back and look, but go back and look at this. Or I like, I tweeted this out too. But like in the preseason I was just like, all you Caleb Johnson drafters are going to be really disappointed and shocked and dismayed at how much Kenneth Gainwell plays this year. I mean, like, everyone is like, ah, Caleb Johnson, we're all in on the rookie. He's the new Najee Harris. And I'm just like, they like Kenneth Gainwell. They really like Kenneth Gainwell. Like, and by the way, to his credit, he's played well this year. And if Gainwell has, he's just not Jalen Warren. But for whatever it's worth, back to back games now for Jalen Warren. With 12 or fewer touches, he's got only six more snaps than Kenneth Gainwell in that span. It is a true committee Jay. Since week eight, Warren has only one game with a double digit target share. And this is a, weirdly, this is a tougher matchup of money than people think. To your point about Mike McDaniel, we always think about him offensively, but the team hasn't quit on him. And their defense is actually sneakily been pretty good. No team over the last four weeks allows fewer fantasy points to opposing running backs than the Mayan Dolphins. They've played well.

A (20:27)

Yep, they were atrocious defensively to start the season and then they figured something out and got like. Bijan Robinson did nothing against the Dolphins. Derrick Henry did very little against the Dolphins even in week one. Jonathan Taylor didn't do much there. Rhonas Fonseca Jr. Jameson Williams, Teteroa McMillan or Jaylen Warren, PPR.

B (20:46)

I'm going to go with Jamo. It's close between him and Ted Aroa, but I just again, I don't think we love the talent of McMillan. We don't love this offense they keep, you know, even when Bryce young's rolling, it's 15 to 20.

A (21:02)

Yeah. Had one catch his last game, one cat and it was a touchdown.

B (21:07)

Right.

A (21:08)

But one catch.

B (21:09)

That's right. So I think it's, I think it's Jameson Williams and what should be a great game against the, against the Rams. That line is 55. Yeah.

A (21:18)

So 55 and a half.

B (21:20)

Yeah. So I think you want as much of the Rams Lions game in Detroit as you can get.

A (21:24)

Matt Stafford in la.

B (21:25)

Oh, sorry. In la.

A (21:27)

And the Lions are six point dogs and the Lions are never six point underdogs. So they will have you suspect the game script to be throwing all game staying in that game hate list. For me, David Montgomery who played really well against the Cowboys popped off the 35 yard touchdown but. And he looks the part like he, he looks very good. The issue is, is that Jameer Gibbs might be the best running back in football. And the Lions seem to start be starting to understand that where this workload in the run game is shifting progressively to Gibbs. They used to alternate drives between Montgomery and Gibbs. I think Gibbs would get the passing down work. They're not alternating drives. Now Montgomery will get some spells to give Jimmy Gibbs a breather but this is Jimmy Gibbs's offense. Now this has been a month really since Dan Campbell took over the play calling that Gibbs has gotten more sustained carries. So David Montgomery again, tough matchup, elite defense in the Rams. There's six point dogs. This isn't a game that you suspect they're going to be nursing a 14 point lead. And that's where Dave Montgomery comes more into play. So it's like he's a backup running back who I think is going to get 25, 30% of the carries in a game where they're underdogs. So David Montgomery I think is a desperation flex type of guy.

B (22:39)

He needs to fall into the end zone to pay off. I completely agree.

A (22:42)

Indeed. All right, let's jump to love hate pass catches. We take a look. Matthew, at your ranks, 1 through 10, the top three, no surprise Pup Nakua, JSN and Jamar Chase.

B (22:54)

Now again, Ceedee Lamb. We don't know 100% sure that he's going to play this week, but I've ranked him as if he is. Yeah, my guy eights. I call him eights.

A (23:02)

Likewise Drake London, but number six, AJ Brown.

B (23:05)

Drake London is actually not going to play tonight. So that's, you know, officially he's not going to play.

A (23:10)

AJ Brown comes in at number six. Good to see AJ Brown back in the top six where his talent suggests that he should be. The Eagles have not turned things around, but A.J. brown individually has.

B (23:24)

Over the last four games. 35% target share. The, you know, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Poster child. A.J. brown, 35% target share over the last four games. He's had double digit targets in each one of those games. And so you're sitting here going like, all right, he's basically averaging a 35% target share. As I mentioned, wide receivers that see at least a 25% target share against the Raiders averaging over 17 fantasy points per game. I said this yesterday, Jay. I think that Jalen Hurts has a monster game here.

A (23:53)

I do.

B (23:54)

He needs to.

A (23:55)

Right?

B (23:55)

I mean just, you know, Philly sports talk radio, I mean they're talking about Tanner McKee. Like I just. Jalen Hurts, who never says anything is just going to come out and put up four touchdowns and 300 yards.

A (24:03)

Yeah, this does feel. And the other thing too is that Hertz is scheduled down the stretch. I don't think they played the Commanders yet. They played the Commanders to the last three weeks. Right. The Commanders might have the worst defense in football. Jalen Hurts is very likely going to finish on a tear and yeah, he'll want to rinse out that previous game. And AJ Brown also. The other thing too is that he just looks more athletic and explosive the way that he was creating separation at the beginning of his route. He just looked like A.J. brown again. I think that was the concern at the start of the year is that there's this guy who's dealing with hamstring issues in the preseason. So he just lost the step. He hasn't lost the step. He's still A.J. brown. It's just not sure how what is going on in that Eagles offense overall, but AJ Brown has been getting fed lately. Another guy who's been getting fed lately, Jameson Williams. We just spoke about love list for me against the Rams game script. The fact that they are looking for him more often in Dan Campbell's offense with Campbell calling the plays. Also obviously no Sam laporter, yes, a Monroe Saint. Brown has recovered from the ankle injury and is there but still I think there is enough volume to go around for Jameson Williams and I think that, you know, he is a wide receiver 2 type in a matchup. Matthew where as we mentioned, they are six point underdogs.

B (25:15)

Yeah. I mean so we like Jameson Williams. I just think they're going to be throwing a ton. Right. I mean like I answered the question earlier about jmo and so this is a perfect game environment. So underdogs in good weather, they're, you know, they're at so fi. As you mentioned in la and Williams, since Dan Campbell took over as the coach, you know, as we've talked about on the show many, many times, just they seem to feed him the ball.

A (25:41)

Yep. Also I think the other encouraging thing which we mentioned earlier in the week is that JMO was able to have a very good game against Dallas without catching a 50 yarder. Like he wasn't dependent on the long ball. It was just sustained volume. Question from Bart Furley, Woody Marks or Jameson Williams in the Flex Method.

B (25:58)

By the way, that's a great name. Bart Furley. Sounds like an old school private investigator. Yeah, Bart Furley.

A (26:05)

Yeah.

B (26:05)

Yeah.

A (26:05)

Either a character in like Chinatown or at the bar in Cheers.

B (26:09)

That's right.

A (26:10)

Yeah.

B (26:10)

Yeah. So anyway, Bart, good name, strong name. I'm about you but speaking of strong names, I'm going to go with Woody Marks here. Either guy. I actually don't think you can screw this up, Mark, because we like both players this week, but I'm going to go with Woody Marks and just the, the guaranteed touches. It's close though.

A (26:25)

Yep. Woody Marks, a 9 1/2 point favorite as we mentioned. So should certainly have game script and should get well. He'll have a very good chance of getting in the end zone. Matthew, you're a brave man putting Justin Jefferson on the love list.

B (26:38)

Yeah, someone has to do it, right? What's the phrase? Because I always screw it up. The unreal force against the what's it's.

A (26:45)

Like object makes the irresistible force something like that. I don't think that's it either, but.

B (26:49)

No, it's something like that. Like you know, meets a wall. I don't know. Here's what I'm going to say. Justin Jefferson is very good at football. His quarterback isn't necessarily, but Justin Jefferson is very good at football. The Dallas Cowboys defense has not been right. They've given up the most receiving yards and the most touchdowns to opposing wide receivers this entire season. The Cowboys have, right? They've given at least 17 fantasy points to an opposing wide receiver. 10 in the last 12 games. And so here comes Justin Jefferson who we know is super talented and there's not a lot of stats that I can give you to back up what Justin Jefferson has done this year. Because if you have him, you know, it's been brutal. But JJ McCarthy actually showed signs of life last week against Washington. It was not a great defense, but he did what you need to do against a bad defense, which is get the ball to your playmakers. And he threw three touchdowns. And so Justin Jefferson was not one of them. I do think they make a point of trying to feed 18. You see it there right over my shoulder, number 18, Justin Jefferson. So, yeah, I'm as a top 12 play this week. I am a brave man. I get it if you're shied away, but I'll just. Connor. I'll just say this. Connor, what's your name?

A (27:50)

Jay Refusal.

B (27:53)

You guys look alike.

A (27:54)

All right.

B (27:54)

It's been a long day. What can I tell you? Here's stats out the door, right with Justin Jefferson. Fantasy football is an emotional game. It's a game we play. It's a game we play for fun. It's a game we play for joy. And we play with our hearts on our sleeves often. I just think for all of us out there, that if you're in the playoffs, if you're in the playoffs and Justin Jefferson was your first or second round pick, you're in there despite him, not because of Justin Jefferson. So you probably have a strong team all around him just to have gotten there. Okay. I just think that if you bench Justin Jefferson and he goes off, you will feel much worse than if you start Justin Jefferson and he doesn't do anything because you started Justin Jefferson, the great Justin Jefferson, in a ridiculous matchup. So I just. This is also an emotion. We want to feel good. This is something we do. And I just think you'll feel. You'll feel better. You know, you'll feel much worse if he. If he goes off on your bench versus then if you start him and he does nothing.

A (28:48)

Okay. Quite well. Right on cue. Question from Alex Webb. Do you go down with Justin Jefferson or start Jacoby Myers, like a great avatar, like, conceptually for like, do you go down. Choose Justin Jefferson?

B (29:00)

Yeah, I'm still going to Justin Jefferson, but I get the question. And just the fact that that's a legit question. Jacoby Myers on his second team in the middle of the season or Justin Jefferson, but, you know, I'm with you. It's a gutty call, I think, which is crazy to think, but yes, I'm sticking with Justin Jefferson. I'm sticking with JJ McCarthy to be able to get him the ball. Yeah, enough. Where he's, you know, a top 12 wide receiver this week.

A (29:22)

Yep. I think there's three things in Justin Jefferson's favor. One is that that I think last week was the best JJ McCarthy has looked as a professional. So that bodes well. Secondly is that yeah, Justin Jefferson didn't get fed in that game. McCarthy only had 23 pass attempts. They won the game, 31 nothing. So he didn't, we didn't see proof of concept that Jefferson specifically doesn't connect with this version of McCarthy. And then thirdly, I think the Cowboys are strangely a pass funnel defense now because Quinn and Williams is so good. Like Javier Gibbs had an amazing game against the Cowboys on that in that primetime game on Thursday last week. But he didn't actually do anything on the ground efficiently like he was, I think sub 3 yards per carry. It's just he broke the touchdown runs but they were all in close on a play to play basis. He wasn't getting anything on the ground. And so I think that the Vikings are going to have to throw in this one. And yeah, McCarthy's probably going to throw some picks but he should be able to get the ball to Justin Jefferson. McCarthy's draft mate Caleb Williams I think will be getting the ball to Luther Burden who plays the Browns. The Browns a bit of a pass funnel defense as well where they have had an elite rushing defense. They're just their immunity goes away against Tony Pollard. Tony Pollard's the only man who can beat the best rushing defense in football. Everyone else doesn't have a chance. Christian McCaffrey, no chance whatsoever. Tony Pollard though, he'll go for 160 plus. But Luther Burden with the injury concerns over Roma Dunesay with DJ Moore just being anonymous at a given time. Luther Burton has become strangely consistent in this offense. I understand that it hasn't been super explosive in everything that you want, but five targets, at least five targets in four straight games. He goes 4 for 67 against the Packers. And I think that, you know, as a, as a flex guy, as a desperation, he flex guy. I think you can do worse than Luther Burton in a game where despite being eight point favorites, I do think Chicago will need to throw just because of the nature of Cleveland's defense.

B (31:19)

They're just, they're not getting anything out of DJ Moore. You know, Dunes A has fallen off since then. So yeah, they need a spark and I think Luther Burden has the talent to be able to give it to him. Like it's a, it's a risky play in the playoffs because we haven't seen it consistently here, but I like to call it kind of a desperation flex there.

A (31:34)

Yep. Alright, staying in that game. Harold Fannin Jr. Who went berserk against the Titans last week, Matthew gets into the end zone. I think he had 11 targets in that game and he goes up against the Bears team where you'd expect the Browns will be throwing.

B (31:49)

Yeah, exactly. Harold Fannin is just getting a massive target share since week seven. Trey McBride is the only tight end with a higher target share than Harold Fan Fannin Jr. He's been the fifth best tight end in fantasy on a points per game basis during that stretch. And so you know, again the Bears, they struggle against tight ends. If you get at least six targets against Chicago this season, you're averaging almost 14 fantasy points per game. So I have Harold Fannin Jr. As a top four fantasy tight end this week. Again, clearly has a connection with Shadur Sanders. Shadur Sanders has been named the starter for the rest of the year by two time Head Coach of the year Kevin Stefanski. Not everyone knows he's won that award, but he has. And Fannin seems to be the beneficiary.

A (32:28)

Yep. Also those.

B (32:29)

I mean Joku caught the touchdown last week but otherwise Njoku just hasn't done anything in a while.

A (32:33)

Indeed. Also those tight end sets were deflated. Luke Musgrave was about an inch from catching a bomb from Jordan Love that got overturned on review. Let's get to some others receiving votes headlined by a guy who's been much more relevant this year than I think anyone would have expected. And that's one day Robinson.

B (32:50)

It's crazy the emergence of, you know, PPR scam artist Wandell Robinson 28% target share when Jackson Dart is under center as Dart will be this weekend against the Commanders. He's had at least eight targets in four of the past five games for Wandell. No team allows more receiving yards to the slot this year than my Washington Commanders. How about Stefon Diggs? Another revenge game against The Bills went 10 for 146 the first time he faced Buffalo as well. Bill so we ended up at least 16 fantasy points to wide receiver in seven of the last nine games. We saw what T. Higgins did to them last week. How about you Juan Jennings? It's Tennessee, right? Since Week seven the Titans allow the fifth most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. And it does feel like Jennings is the number one wide receiver for Brock Purdy. Seven straight games with at least a 22% target share for Juwan Jennings. Jamari DK playing against the 49ers in that same game. 32% target share. Last week, Niners allowed the most receptions per game to opposing slot receivers. That's where DK lines up the majority of the time. And finally, Isaiah likely. Oh, I'll tell you. I'll tell you. Isaiah likely caught a touchdown last week. Caught two touchdowns last week. Only one of them counted, but he did. That was a touchdown. Bad call. All right, Isaiah likely is a tight end. All right, hold that thought over here. All right, Isaiah likely is a tight end and he plays Cincinnati. What do we get when we put those thoughts together?

A (34:11)

Magic.

B (34:12)

Oh, sweet, sweet fantasy point. Sweet magic. Look, look. Bengals allow 24.1 fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. That's more than seven points than any other. It is death taxes start your tight end against the Bengals.

A (34:24)

Yeah. And Isaiah likely presumably this time won't be fumbling touchdowns at the one against said Bengals. Stefan Diggs. I agree. Remember last time he played Buffalo, he went absolutely berserk on Sunday football. Suspect that he will be very motivated to do the same thing with the division on the line. Let's jump to the hate list. An Indianapolis Colt, much to my chagrin. Matthew headlines it. Michael Pittman. You know you're not happy with Phil Rivers, 44 years old or Riley Leonard.

B (34:51)

We don't know who's going to start as we sit here and tape this today, but Colts have the third lowest implied team total in Week 15. And you've got the Seattle matchup. Since Week 8, Seahawks have allowed the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wide receiver. No team has allowed less fantasy points to wide receivers than the Seattle Seahawks since week eight of the season. Like during that stretch, only three wide receivers, literally only three wide receivers this entire time have scored even double digit fantasy points. Even 10 fantasy points against the Seahawks. Again, uncertainty at the quarterback position. Really tough matchup. Pittman's outside my top 35 for the week.

A (35:26)

Yep. Braden Smith also in concussion protocol, which doesn't help the Colts offensive line. No sir does. That is not an offensive line that you want injured with potentially four Rivers back there. Ebuca or Pittman for the third wide receiver spot. This is from Cantu Films.

B (35:43)

Yeah, I'm going with a booker tonight. I just, I want no part of Pittman. So yeah, I get it. A book has been tough lately. But you know, Falcons over the over the last four weeks have been a bottom five pass defense in terms of most yards allowed to opposing wide receivers. So hopefully a book it gets deep.

A (35:59)

For one Yep, hopefully. Even though for me, a booker on the hate list, I agree. I would start him over. Michael Pittman. That's more of a reflection on the state of the Colts. Anything good about a mechrabuca?

B (36:09)

Exactly.

A (36:10)

He's catching less than half of his targets. That's the thing is the Baker Maple keeps throwing in the ball, keeps getting 8, 9, 10 targets each week. He just cannot bring them in. I think some of that is luck. I think some of that is that he's just in his own head at the moment. The drop touchdown against the Saints was completely insane. And even though the Falcons, yeah, their past defense hasn't been great, a lot of that was just the second half against Seattle where JSN with berserk for the most part they have been a run funnel defense because they haven't been able to stop anyone on the ground. Jonathan Taylor gone for 244 on the ground. The defining performance there. So I think that the Bucks season on the line, they will want to run the ball. And Mecha Buka, you know, expecting Mike Evans back for this one as well, which will maybe take some attention off of him, but also creates another guy to take targets away from him. And he's not doing much with the targets that he gets for now. All right, we're going to hit our first break. When we come back, love hate continues with the quarterbacks.

B (37:17)

Next up, Biz Lions, which is.

A (37:20)

You have history there.

B (37:21)

How does it feel to be playing so well going into that particular match?

C (37:27)

I mean, you hate to, you know, hate to hear it, but we got to earn it every single week, you know, and because I played well this week doesn't mean, you know, guaranteed to play well the next week. We got to go earn that. We do it every single week. I got a ton of respect for that team, head coach, everybody. They do a hell of a job and done a great job the last couple years. So it'll be a big challenge every time we play these guys. Seems like a good match. So, you know, looking forward to the opportunity of playing on the, you know, on a big stage against a really good team.

A (37:54)

Okay. It was Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, minus 180 favorite for MVP. And do you think he wins?

B (38:02)

Is there anything he can does if, if they don't win the division? Does he still win the award? I don't think so.

A (38:07)

If he loses the division, then I think either Drake May or Josh Allen.

B (38:11)

Okay.

A (38:11)

I think if Josh Allen, if he runs the slate and Stafford loses in Seattle in that Thursday night game or he loses this game, then I think that Josh Allen, if he can win the division, will come home and win it. But Drake may also very viable. Stafford's numbers are just so insane. And I also think everyone wants to vote for Stafford. Like, you just feel very likable.

B (38:29)

He's a very likable guy. Everyone loves Matthew Stafford.

A (38:32)

Hall of Famer, made man, won the Super Bowl.

B (38:35)

Yeah.

A (38:35)

Has the cool sidearm throws. Everyone likes Matthew Stafford.

B (38:38)

Everyone likes Matthew Stafford. Universal approval on Matthew Stafford.

A (38:41)

Yep. And he headlines the quarterback love list with a matchup against Detroit, who don't have any cornerbacks left. Yeah.

B (38:47)

I mean, you saw. You saw that. If you saw the rankings graphic, for those of you who are watching the show, you saw that. You know, he's my number three quarterback this week. He's playing at home where he's averaging over 21 fantasy points per game. He's had at least three touchdown passes and four of the last five. They're getting close. They look for Devonta Adams. There he is. And you mentioned the Detroit match up here and how banged up they are since Week 8. The Lions allow the fifth most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. Hashtag revenge game for Matthew Stafford. Although honestly, the Lions pretty. The Lions did them, right.

A (39:14)

Yeah.

B (39:15)

I mean, the Lions, like, the Lions basically said, like, hey, we know we're not competing for a Super bowl here. In the near future, we will, we will send you to your buddy Sean McVay. You know, they were buddies like Sean McVay and his wife, and Matthew Stafford and his wife Kelly were friends. Like, they would vacation together and stuff.

A (39:31)

It's a revenge game for Jared Goff. It's not a revenge game for Matthew Stafford.

B (39:35)

Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

A (39:36)

It's very amicable. Jared Goff is not happy about getting traded. No scenario. If you watch the. The Netflix doc, it was not, which you shouldn't be. Basically tossed aside.

B (39:45)

The Rams gave up a first round pick to get rid of him. They were like, if you will take him off of our hands, we will give you a first round pick. It's like, it's really embarrassing.

A (39:52)

Yeah. It also worked out for both of them.

B (39:56)

It absolutely did. It absolutely did. We. A lot of people don't know this, but one of the reasons why we have such a fancy bar is that's what was given to us to take Connor Rodgers off of. Off of Sny's hand during the week. SNY sent that bar and Connor Rodgers to us for future, and it worked.

A (40:15)

Out much like Jared Goff worked out for Connor Rodgers.

B (40:18)

That's right.

A (40:18)

Yeah. No super bowl yet for Connor Rodgers or Jared Goff, but there is still time. Also no super bowl yet for Lamar Jackson. Don't think this is going to be the year either. So the Ravens are on the outside looking into the playoff picture, but very favorable matchup against the Bengals. I think that the past two weeks have, in a way been encouraging for Lamar because he looks a little bit more like himself. He doesn't look like Lamar Jackson, but he was looking for a while like 50% of Lamar. Yeah, he looks more like 75% of Lamar. See, the Steelers, the key thing is that he was running the ball exactly.

B (40:49)

That's exactly right. The 43 rushing yards he ran for a touchdown in. And again, he looked like 75% Lamar, whereas the week before the previous weeks he looked at like 50 Lamar. Yeah, 40 Lamar.

A (41:02)

He just unable to avoid sacks, just doesn't seem to have his same elusiveness. And now statistically, he did not have a good game against the Bengals, but as we've talked about, he kind of got screwed statistically because Isaiah likely fumbles at the 1. They have five turnovers. Overall. I think that he should do for the most part what he wants against the Bengals defense, which may be the worst in the league. So understand if you drafted Lamar Jackson, it's been a rough season overall, but as we go into the fantasy playoffs, this is as good a matchup as you can imagine.

B (41:33)

And by the way, if you are watching this show, it means you're in the fantasy playoffs. And if you have Lamar Jackson, it means you've done a hell of a job this year to get into the fantasy playoffs with Lamar Jackson as your quarterback. We think your. Your patience will be rewarded with a nice game against Cincinnati. One guy that I like quite a bit, Jackson Dart. You had me at commanders. Like they're playing Washington. Like we Ron Rivera level defense is what Washington is rolling out there. Five of the seven quarterbacks that have faced my commanders, Jay, have scored at least 20 fantasy points, right? We are bottom five. You want some bad commander's defense stats? Because I've got some bad commander's defense stats. Washington is bottom five in yards per yards per game, their bottom five in yards per pass attempt, and their bottom five in touchdown rate allowed this year. I think what all those stats tell you is something that you know instinctively. Washington is stinky. We are not so good. We are bad. We are bad at the defense.

A (42:29)

Yeah.

B (42:30)

Jackson Dart is. Jackson Dart is good at the offense. He runs around a little bit. I'm at QB6. I have Jackson Dart at QB6.

A (42:36)

J. Yeah. And that's even with the Dartler. The Dartler, yeah. Dartmouth himself, I think. I don't expect that he's going to run the ball as much as he did earlier in the season because the concussion stuff. Yeah. And it seemed like Kafka was given instructions like, you cannot call 10 design runs for this guy that he didn't run the ball against the Patriots outside of a couple of times. They have low pass rate over expectation in that game. They're trying to run the ball. With all that said, I don't think it matters because I think he can do it through the air against the Commanders. Might have the worst secondary in the league. Footballer 77, one of our favorite regulars. I want to bench Jacoby Brissette for Jackson Dart in my super flex, but can I possibly do that based on Brissette's consistency even with the terrible matchup? I think you can do it. I'd rather have Jackson Dodd.

B (43:21)

Footballer. Not only can you do it, you should do it 100%. Houston is where fantasy quarterbacks go to die. Kobe Brissette's on a really nice run here, but, like, he's not Patrick Mahomes. And we just saw Patrick Mahomes get, you know, absolutely destroyed by Houston. Now, slightly different story if Tyquan Thornton comes down with that ball. But still, the fact of the matter is, is that Kobe said a lot of his production, not all of it, but a lot of his production is coming. Negative game script. He's coming back. They're throwing a ton. I don't know that Houston's. We like C.J. stroud this week. We like the Texans offense, but the Texans offense isn't great. It's not so awesome where you're like, well, C.J. stroud. They're definitely going to light these guys up and they're going to be up 30 to 10. And Jacoby Brissette's going to have to throw a ton like he has previously. So I just. I don't know. I. I would just think about what you're asking. Jackson Dart, who's this exciting rookie? I think he's. He's probably got a shot at winning offensive rookie of the year.

A (44:18)

Second favorite after Tedron McMillan.

B (44:20)

Yeah. You know, or Jacoby Brissette. Like, it's one of those things that, like, if Jacoby. If you start Jacoby Brissette a footballer. If you start Jacoby Brissette and then he has like, what Mahomes did, he has like whatever, five points, seven points, something like that. And you lose your matchup. You're going to sit there and think to yourself, what was I thinking? Yeah, like, why did I want to do a playoff match with Jacoby Brissette? And I get you, he's gotten you here and he's been so consistent. But, you know, and anything can happen. It's. It's NFL football, it's fantasy football. But you asked me my opinion, you asked Jay his opinion. And our opinion is Jackson dart over Jacoby Brissette this weekend.

A (44:55)

Yep. You got one guy looks like Anakin Skywalker, wears cool face paint, and then you've got Jacoby Brissette staying in the vaunted NFC east love list for me. Jalen Hurts, who faces the Raiders. Obviously, we've talked a lot about Jalen Hurts, how he has right now, the world on his shoulders, pitchforks out. But this is about. It's a very good matchup, about as good as it gets where the Raiders run defense has actually been somewhat competent. The past defense gets torched repeatedly with the way that A.J. brown is looking. Devontae Smith has been a rougher few weeks for Devontae Smith, but still the talent there is undeniable. I think they're going to need to throw in this game more than you typically would for a double digit favorite. But Hertz I think will get right in this spot through the air.

B (45:40)

I agree.

A (45:40)

Also, they were running him a bit more against the charges they were previous, which is a good sign for there have been situations.

B (45:46)

This is anecdotal, so I don't have it in front of me, but I just feel like there have been times over the last few years where Jalen Hurts has, has had a bad game and everyone and pitchforks are out and everyone's just like, he's not our franchise quarterback. And then he goes out and just tortures everyone. And I feel like the Eagles are one of the pettiest teams in the NFL. They listen to that stuff, you know what I mean? And then they, they go out and they show. Oh, we'll show you. And so the schedule lines up perfectly for after what was a very tough day at the office for Jalen Hurts on Monday night. Now they get a home game against the Raiders.

A (46:17)

Yep. All right. Others receiving votes. Another very favorable matchup. My man Brock Purdy going against the Titans.

B (46:23)

But it's brockvember Jay and you love this matchup against Tennessee. Since Week 7, the Titans allow the second most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. They've Given up multiple touchdown passes in six, seven games in that stretch. And we've talked about this guy, the traveler you get against the Jets. He played well last week. Trevor Lawrence did. He's actually finished quietly as a top 12 fantasy quarterback in seven of the past nine. He's averaging almost 19 fantasy points a game during that stretch. And now you get the jets, who are 28th in pressure ratio. The jets can't get to the quarterback. And so if you're giving Trevor Lawrence time and he's got a full complement or more or less, you know, he's got Brian Thomas Jr. He's got Jacoby Myers, he's got Brent Strange back there as well. We think they can run effectively. I like Trevor Lawrence. The only fear is that if, you know, if Brady Clark starts. Brady Cook. Sorry, I was like, that's not right.

A (47:13)

Brady Clark is the inversion of a guy who watches our show.

B (47:16)

I know.

A (47:17)

Which is Clark Brady.

B (47:19)

Anyway, long day. Anyway, if Tyrod Taylor doesn't start for the jets, that's the only fear is that the Jaguars get a big. And then they just run heavily in the second half. But I do think Trevor Lawrence will do enough damage there to be a low in QB1 this week.

A (47:33)

Yeah. Also, unless someone put a V in December that I'm unaware of, it's Brock Sember. Not Brock.

B (47:39)

Oh, sorry.

A (47:39)

We're now in.

B (47:40)

Oh, yeah, yeah. The calendars have turned. It is Brock Sember.

A (47:43)

Yeah. Indeed. So we're only 10 days. 10, 11 days in. All right. Some to the height.

B (47:46)

Listen, I was told there'd be no math. I was told there'd be no calendars.

A (47:50)

Yeah, no calendars. I was told there would be no calendars.

B (47:53)

Yeah. All right. No checking, no calendars, no math.

A (47:56)

Yeah. Jordan Love is on the height list, Matthew. Difficult matchup against the Broncos. Yeah.

B (48:00)

He really does. I know you love Jordan Love him, but part of the problem is that this, you know, the Broncos are able to get pressure. Right. They have the second most quarterback pressures this season. And when he's under pressure, Jordan Love has not been great. He's 23rd. Sorry. He is 33rd in pressure rate. When he in passer. God dang it. I screwed this all up. No, Jordan Love, when he's under pressure, he's 33rd in passer rating. When he's pressured. Whatever. Doesn't matter. When you can get to Jordan Love, he definitely doesn't. He struggles. Broncos allow passing touchdowns at the lowest rate this season. There have been only four quarterbacks that have scored at least 15 fantasy points. Against the Broncos and three of them, they use their rush, they use rushing. And Jordan Love doesn't really run. So he's my QB20. I just don't want no part of him on the road at Denver. I think this is a big Josh Jacobs game and a low scoring game as well.

A (48:53)

Not very well said by you, Matthew. Yeah, ever the orator.

B (48:56)

English is my second language. Yeah, I was told there'd be no math. I was told there'd be no fact checking. I was told there'd be no calendars. I told there'd be no language arts as well.

A (49:06)

Okay, language arts.

B (49:08)

All right.

A (49:09)

Hate. Listen me Sam Donald go against Indianapolis. Here's why. I've seen the footage of Phil Rivers practicing. He looks like you. The Seahawks are 13 and a half point favorites in this one and we've seen when they are huge favorites, they do not lean into the pass. This could be a game where Sam Donald has 15 pass attempts, frankly. So we'll see. We'll see what the Colts have, but I think the likeliest outcome is that the Seahawks do not need to throw a ton. We're going to hit our last break. When we come back, our best bets for Thursday Night Football.

B (49:39)

Falcons, Bucks, NFC South Showdown what could be better?

DraftKings Sportsbook is an official sports betting partner of the NFL. New customers can bet $5 and get 200 in bonus bets. If your bet wins, download the app and use the promo code FFHH when you sign up. Trafficking Sportsbook.

B (50:03)

Oh, the crown. It is yours.

A (50:06)

Yep, the crown's yours. All right, let's take a look at notable props for Thursday night football. Baker Mayfield, 218 and a half passing yards. Kirk Cousins only 207 and a half passing yards. If you call last year he was going off to 500 for fun against these Bucks. Not quite those heady times. My favorite bet Bijan Robinson over 37 and a half receiving yards. The reason why the Bucks last time he played them back in week one yet 100100 receiving yards. That's more than 37 and a half. I think that Atlanta will struggle to run the ball and against the late run defense, Bijan will get his through the air.

Yeah, no Drake London and they are throwing more to Bijan as well. And that's one of the reasons why I'm taking the under 76 and a half rushing yards for Bijan Robinson in this one. I could say agree with you. They're going to throw to him. It's going to be a challenge to run against them. He had under 25 rushing yards against these Buccaneers in week one. Only three team, only three players all season long have beaten this number against the Buccaneers. It's an elite run defense. It's a pass funnel defense. Falcons are underdogs in this game as well. So yeah, give me Bijan Robinson under on his rushing. As you look at some of my ranks here for tonight, you know, obviously you're still starting Bucky Bijan, I should say, and of course Bucky Irving. I think Kyle Pitts actually could be okay here, but the rest of the players, I'm just, I'm nervous about all these guys. I think this is. I think this is a sneaky low scoring game here. I would probably take the under on the score.

A (51:37)

Yeah. Baker Mayfield, QB17. Just haven't seen it in a long time.

B (51:42)

Yeah, it's been tough. It's been tough. Like help's on the way for Baker, so hopefully he finishes the season strong. Hey, that music means you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here. Good luck tonight as you start the playoffs for Jay, I'm Matthew. We'll see you tomorrow. Peace out.
