Major Highlights

1. Thursday Night Recap and Travion “Trayforce” Henderson Mania

• Travion Henderson’s Three-TD Explosion:
  Mike recaps his fantasy triumph, having started Henderson in a league. The guys marvel at Henderson’s stat line (more rushing yards after contact than total yards!) and reflect on big “my guy” reclamation seasons.
  • Quote:
    “Mike has his own triforce going... The combination of CMC, Rico, and Travion currently in the place that they're in is worthy of every bit of victory lapping.” – Mike (02:11)
  • Impact:
    They discuss the implications for New England's backfield, pondering how much work Ramondre Stevenson might take if/when he returns.
    “You can't unring this bell, man. It's a five touchdown bell.” – Mike (07:56)
• Mike’s Postgame Vibes:
  Lighthearted banter about Mike’s success and superstitions, Twitter chatter about whether he wore pants, and pulling a Mahomes “downtown” card at the same time (09:01–09:27).

2. Around the League: News and Notes (10:30–13:21)

• Injury Roundup:
  • Positive practice returns: Rico Dowdle, Drake London back limited.
  • Bucky Irving, Chris Godwin, Khalil Shakir (non-contact), Dalton Schultz and Darius Slayton (DNP).
  • DJ Moore participation is key for fantasy squads.
  • Brock Purdy and Ricky Pearsall trending toward playing.
• Analysis:
  The guys note how this week’s “low byes” boosts the pool of startable players and caution managers to monitor Friday practice reports closely.

3. Key Matchups and Fantasy Takes

Refer to timestamps for each major matchup breakdown.

Chargers (7–3) at Jaguars (5–4) [13:27–18:55]

• Quick Lines:
  Chargers -3, O/U 43.5
• Player Spotlight:
  • Keenan Allen: Fading a bit after a hot start; “The Adam Thielen Effect” (14:39).
  • Lad McConkey: Fast-rising, must-start receiver.
  • Kamani Vidal: Faces a tough Jaguars run D, high snap % but risky this week. Analysis warns “this is the week where it doesn't work out” (15:35).
  • Travis Etienne: Steady but touchdown-dependent, viewed as a low RB1/high RB2 (16:17).
  • WR Uncertainty: Parker Washington, Brian Thomas Jr. are dart throws, “The Chargers pass defense is very good… I think there are other players that are just better options.” – Andy (18:19)
• Advice:
  Herbert is a firm start. Exercise caution with Jags pass catchers.

Seahawks (7–2) at Rams (7–2) [21:26–27:26]

• Quick Lines:
  LAR -3, O/U 48.5
• Key Points:
  • Kyren Williams: Less snap share but ultra-productive, 4 of last 5 weeks top-12 RB (23:13).
  • Ken Walker/Charbonnet: “You have to play Charbonnet over Walker. Walker can only get a touchdown if it’s from like 25 yards out.” – Andy (23:40)

    “Ride it while you can and enjoy the ride.” – Mike (26:02) re: Stafford's outlier TD pace.

  Keenan Allen, Kareem Hunt, DeMarcado vs. Ken Walker: All discussed with nuance. “It makes me want to bet on Walker now.” – Andy (27:16)

  • Trey McBride: “Lock for a high floor” – Mike (28:50).
  • Ricky Pearsall: Trending toward playing but risky due to “Shanahanigans.”
• Debate:
  Will the absence of Marvin Harrison Jr. stifle the Cards? Andy’s “Almost Upset” button is hit, calling for a possible Cardinals win over SF (31:36).

Baltimore (4–5) at Cleveland (2–7) [32:01–36:17]

• Quick Lines:
  BAL -7.5, O/U 38.5
• Key Points:
  • Ravens defense is surging post-bye.
  • “It’s Quinshon Judkins and I think that’s it [for Browns].” – Andy (34:43)
  • Judy, Metcalf, Zay Flowers discussed as boom/bust WR2 options.
• Deep League Tip:
  Mike and Jason both admit to putting in claims for Jerry Jeudy out of desperation.

• Quick Lines:
  KC -3.5, O/U 44
• Key Points:

  • Kareem Hunt: “RB2, high likelihood of scoring.” – Jason (39:23)
  • RJ Harvey: Hot waiver pickup, “This is his Travion opportunity” – Jason (39:43).
  • Cortland Sutton: Labeled “Denver Metcalf” – touchdown reliant and untrustworthy week-to-week.
• Rapid-fire Start/Sit:
  Harvey vs. various RBs (Vidal, Rashad White, Woody Marks, Jameson Williams). Consensus: Harvey over most.

Sunday Night Football: Lions (6–3) at Eagles (7–2) [46:15–49:47]

  PHI -2.5, O/U 46.5
• Key Points:
  • A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith smash plays vs. “beatable” Lions secondary.
  • Jameer Gibbs “on the cusp of breaking a rushing TD record, despite committee status.”
  • Jameson Williams is trending up, with increased usage close to the line of scrimmage (“NBA Jam rules: two hot weeks in a row”). – Jason (49:19)
• Metcalf vs. Jameson Start/Sit:
  Fantasy footballers side with Metcalf, but very close (49:41).

Monday Night: Dallas (3–5–1) at Raiders (2–7) [49:47–53:35]

• Quick Lines:
  DAL -3.5, O/U 50.5
• Key Points:
  • “Surprising reliance on Raiders this week” due to matchups.
  • Brock Bowers, Trey Tucker, Tyler Lockett are all deep league dart throws.
  • Caution on the volatility of the Dallas defense after the bye and new personnel – could make or break Raiders offensive production.

Safety info@ inspiresleep.com welcome to the Fantasy Footballers Podcast with your hosts, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore and Mike Wright.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, welcome in.

[Andy Holloway]

Are you not entertained?

[Mike Wright]

It is a good time.

[Jason Moore]

Are you not?

[Mike Wright]

Give him the camera. It's a good time. It's a good time to be Mike.

[Jason Moore]

Patrick Hendo, baby. Oh, yeah. Give me that, like, give me that. Like, give me those party lights, yo.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, what a night.

[Mike Wright]

It is impossible. It is impossible to describe the current. I mean, let's just. Let's just be honest. Mike has his own triforce going of.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, three touchdowns.

[Mike Wright]

Well, sure, but I was literally going to go. The combination of cmc, Rico and Travion currently in the place that they're in is worthy of every bit of victory lapping. And he's got the blue blockers on.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, man. The setup made it like we had to wait for it. Made it even better. Made it. Made it even better.

[Mike Wright]

Do you realize that if. I don't know if you know this, if one of your other players, Bijan Robinson.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

Goes crazy this weekend and has four touchdowns on the ground, that would be enough to just barely pass Trayvon on the year. He has three more touchdowns on the ground. Trayvon does. Than Bijan Robinson. It was. It was everything you could have. I am shocked you're wearing any pants on the show. I. Yeah, we're on YouTube. I feel like you would have been fine with an NC17 rating of this podcast. I mean, unbelievable. Unbelievable. I mean, I mean, this has to be enough for Vrabel, right?

[Andy Holloway]

Yes, it has. And he played like 90% of the snaps. This is.

[Mike Wright]

Well, who else was playing?

[Jason Moore]

And I posted the Advanced numbers. What channel did I put that in? Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Nine forced missed tackles. Travion Henderson gained more rushing yards after contact 70 than total rushing yards 62 in his three touchdown performance against the Jets. I mean, he's very good.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Mike Wright]

Boy. You had to wait.

[Andy Holloway]

We did.

[Mike Wright]

You had to go on.

[Jason Moore]

We did.

[Mike Wright]

What an eight week. It was sweat fest.

[Jason Moore]

It was tough for the streets to hold that faith. But we got there. Everybody.

[Mike Wright]

Oh my gosh, I mean, 27 to 14. Three of the four touchdowns were. They were. They were Travion or actually all their touchdowns. Right. Because they had two field goals. So.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, yeah, it was two rush, one receiving.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, it was. It was awesome.

[Andy Holloway]

It really was.

[Mike Wright]

And on the other, Matt Collins always being productive.

[Andy Holloway]

Dude, I love that.

[Mike Wright]

That's like the third or fourth week in a row I played him in a league yesterday.

[Jason Moore]

Matt Collins is a dog.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. The other side was really entertaining because we had talked about that insane passing yard line for Justin fields of like 120, how low it was something and 116. Yeah, he didn't get there.

[Mike Wright]

I mean, yeah, you would have been. You're definitely disappointed in the breeze overall fantasy output, but especially because he only caught two passes for six yards. Other people's trash were the wide receivers that played the most for the Jets. John Metchie and Adnai Mitchell.

[Jason Moore]

Stevon Diggs had a fine night too.

[Mike Wright]

He doesn't play for the jets though.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, I'm sorry. Sorry.

[Mike Wright]

It's okay. You.

[Jason Moore]

I'm just thinking about the Patriots over.

[Mike Wright]

Here on the mind. But yeah, I mean they handled their business. They're nine and two, the Patriots now nine and two. 281 yards for Drake May. I wasn't sure he was going to put up that kind of yardage in that game, but he got it done. Stefan Diggs has been really consistent. I mean. Any other thoughts on the game? Trayvon with five catches.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, just the delicious.

[Andy Holloway]

I mean it's just Trayvon.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. That was everything that the world was watching. The world was uplifting. Travion Henderson, he came through. And the big question is just what will Vrabel do? And I honestly, I have no idea. I have no idea.

[Mike Wright]

I mean it's not. Ramondre will get worked in.

[Jason Moore]

Yes, but it's. But how much?

[Mike Wright]

Like what? I mean, I would worry a little bit about goal line, like direct goal line. Not necessarily inside the 10, but like inside the line.

[Jason Moore]

Even though his inside the 10 carries were boss.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, he. Well, the thing about this performance as the night went on the Majority of his work was between the tackles you know, he had the night. The first touchdown was a one cut plus a finishing run where they pushed him in. The second one knifed through the defense. And the third one was not a traditional like screen pass touchdown from a white out. It was much more of a like little side.

[Jason Moore]

He was the one who was crossing and got open, snuck behind the defense.

[Mike Wright]

It was the, it was great. The tray force, the triforce, whatever you.

[Jason Moore]

Want to say, it happened. And I mean the. I don't know what it was like his second or third touch like he almost ripped off a huge 50 yard.

[Mike Wright]

Well, he's always got that chance but.

[Jason Moore]

I was just like the fact that that's there plus everything. Oh, man. My goodness, what a night. What a night. It was spectacular.

[Mike Wright]

We may be in the midst of the greatest my guy reclamation mid season project. I mean George Kittle returning from injury. Electric. Jameson Williams having three or four good weeks. I'm hoping that continues with the new offensive coordinator and then Travion becoming.

[Jason Moore]

It's not just Travion, it's Chase Brown is back.

[Mike Wright]

That's true.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

I had forgotten about him. Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

Because it was like jace Brown is perfect. This is going to work. And then Joe Burrow.

[Mike Wright]

Okay, Joe Burrow. All right, guys.

[Andy Holloway]

Never wrong, just early.

[Mike Wright]

It just reminds me of the Cooper cup year that he was. He was a my guy and then the next year he was the number one overall and I was like, come on. Always just a bit early. Friday, November 14, the fantasy footballers that.

[Andy Holloway]

Would be Jalen Waddle this year.

[Mike Wright]

True.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, true.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

We do that wrong. Just early, baby.

[Jason Moore]

Where was this last year?

[Mike Wright]

Waddle. We know their potential better than they do. Is what I'm.

[Andy Holloway]

That's what they need to listen to us.

[Mike Wright]

They need to believe in themselves.

[Jason Moore]

The co. We need the coaches to tune in.

[Mike Wright]

We got to give these guys personal phone calls every year.

[Jason Moore]

Give me the number.

[Mike Wright]

Just to affirm, like give me the number.

[Jason Moore]

We believe in you every Sunday. Rabel, Rabel, Rabel. I know you're thinking about it, Mike. I know you're thinking about putting Ramondre back in.

[Mike Wright]

You can't unring this bell, man. It's a five touchdown bell.

[Jason Moore]

Have to hope. Have to hope.

[Mike Wright]

All right. Well, in the least mean and aggressive way possible. I do really mean it. Like I'm glad Ramon Dre got hurt. Not because I want him hurt, but because of Trayvon having the opportunity that we all. I mean there was a point in the season where we said if he had been Drafted by the Bears like a pick later, you know, you would have gotten to see it on the field way earlier.

[Andy Holloway]

So it's just the insane thing is genuinely, if Ramon Dre did not get injured, Travion would have had two worthless weeks, Most likely the last two weeks. Yeah, like that.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

They don't exist.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

So sad.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. This is going to be infinite validation on the. If you give them a shot, maybe it will work. Narrative in fantasy football, but never a doubt. We zoom the camera on those eyes. Never a doubt.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, no.

[Mike Wright]

Never a doubt.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Mike Wright]

No, it. It's. It's awesome. I'm so. I'm so happy for you.

[Jason Moore]

There you go, man.

[Mike Wright]

The.

[Jason Moore]

The Twitter last night was electric. Oh, man. I can't. Like, if the word pants was not trending last night, that Twitter is not searching the algorithm properly.

[Mike Wright]

And you pulled it downtown. Oh, yeah.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. Hey, hey, football card nerds out there with us.

[Mike Wright]

You had a night in the midst.

[Jason Moore]

Of the triple hat trick Touchdown. I pulled the Patrick Mahomes downtown.

[Mike Wright]

You're living life, Mike.

[Jason Moore]

It's over.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, it's over.

[Andy Holloway]

Just peace. Last night was.

[Mike Wright]

Have yourself a. I'm just going to.

[Jason Moore]

Walk from here to the. To the cemetery, to the heavenly gates. Lower me down.

[Mike Wright]

You should have yourself a countertop steak. Oh, you should have yourself a nice eight hour.

[Andy Holloway]

Take you down a notch.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. You know, he'll. He could fight it off. He'd be fine. It is a busy show today. We talked about Thursday night. We have more matchups today. We've got the fantasy face off as well. Not a lot of bye weeks, so we do have a lot of matchups to get into. And it is Friday.

[Jason Moore]

Foreign.

[Andy Holloway]

Friday.

[Mike Wright]

Congratulations to Jared Lee, the winner of a $100 gift card. Every Friday, we give $100 away to fantasychamps.com to a supporter of this podcast, the Foot clan [e-mail] Jared Lee. Congratulations. We'll get that out to you. Appreciate your support. Let's talk news.

[Andy Holloway]

News and notes from around the league presented by Progressive Insurance.

[Mike Wright]

We like Thursdays because the Wednesday practice people, they come on back and make you feel better about sometimes how they're doing. Yeah, sometimes. We had Rico Dowdle coming back to a limited practice. Drake London returned from an illness. We do have news. Bucky Irving, Chris Godwin, both limited but active around the practice field.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I don't expect either of them to be active on Sunday, but I.

[Jason Moore]

They're.

[Andy Holloway]

They're getting close. This seems like one of those practice windows where you Open it up, get them back to football shape and then in a couple of weeks they'll, they'll be playing ball.

[Mike Wright]

Khalil Shakira limited on Thursday still wearing a non contact jersey. That would be, you know, if he takes Shakir off the field and Dalton Kincaid off the field.

[Jason Moore]

Oh my gosh.

[Mike Wright]

I mean, maybe Dawson Knox is a real start.

[Jason Moore]

He's a player, a touchdown threat.

[Mike Wright]

But Keon Coleman, maybe a dart throw on Coleman this week.

[Jason Moore]

But that's the thing of like, I don't think Coleman can get it done. Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

I'm just saying. I mean he did it last week, so that's my best guess. That's how it feels. Dalton Schultz, though, didn't practice again on Thursday.

[Andy Holloway]

Jason started the week well. Yeah, absolutely.

[Mike Wright]

That's a bad.

[Andy Holloway]

I brought decision.

[Mike Wright]

Terrible.

[Andy Holloway]

I brought it up well. There's two players that I was really excited for this week, both of which, you know, the middling lower tier guys that I think are good starts who aren't practicing even on Thursday. One is Dalton Schultz. One is Darius Slayton I think with Jameis Winston. They're great opportunity, but you know, they have, they have to play football in order to score fantasy points.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. That the dairy slate. Not practicing. That sucks. Roma Dunes a DJ Moore limited practices on Thursday. We weren't sure if DJ Moore was going to miss time or not. Still don't know. But coming back to practice, that's a big deal.

[Jason Moore]

And then we should let him heal. He's not me.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

It feels like he's doing so little in the offense right now, so let it be healthy.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. Don't put too much of a burden on him.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

And then we have some injury updates for the games we're going to cover today. We'll get into those as we jump into the matchups and make sure you're up to speed. But Brock Purdy will be back and looks like Ricky Pearsall will be as well.

[Jason Moore]

That one is. That's great.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. They were both in this kind of mystical land of like Bucky Hampton, Purdy Pearsall. It's like they could be back this week. They could never play again. That's how it felt. That was News and notes sponsored by Progressive Insurance. Quote [e-mail] Progressive Casualty Insurance Company affiliates and third party insurers not available in all states or situations. Coverage of policy terms, limits and conditions. Let's jump right into those matchups.

[Andy Holloway]

Fantasy forecast presented by prize picks.

[Mike Wright]

Well, well, well. We covered the commander's Dolphins pick Panthers, Falcons, Buccaneers, Bills, Texans, Titans, Bears, Vikings, Panthers, Giants or sorry, Packers, Giants, Bengals and Steelers. On yesterday's show. Seven more matchups today, starting with the Chargers seven and three taking on the five and four Jacksonville Jaguars. The Vegas line here. Chargers minus three over under 43 and a half. First impressions of the line. Do you. Are you surprised? Does it seem right?

[Andy Holloway]

I would have probably guessed three and a half or four for the Charger.

[Mike Wright]

Kind of how I was too, actually. So you know, Jacksonville off the 29 to 10 collapse last week. Trevor Lawrence is Trevor Lawrence. Chargers offense has been humming along. They've won four of five. You got to love where lad McConkey is right now. He feels like there was a point in the season where it did feel like every player was. I'm not there anymore. Like, I think Lad is a very, very must start and probably won't fail you. Cuge is the next man up to me on, on reliability, standpoint. And then it goes Gaston and then it goes King Keenan.

[Andy Holloway]

I would agree with the order. Keenan is certainly. He's been, I don't know, one of those. We see it a lot of years where these older players, they come out really hot to start the season. It's like they're fresh and then it's just like, it just kind of fade a little, like they're still there. He's still going to move the chains, but he's not going to just dominate and take over games the way he was, you know, the first month of the season. Adam, this is. We called an Adam Thielen.

[Mike Wright]

No, and it's true. And I mean, and Keenan's had, he said a handful of years in the past too, where the second half he gets hurt or something goes wrong. Kamani Vidal. We are, if we're looking at the box scores.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, no, we got to be out, right?

[Mike Wright]

This would be a bad one.

[Jason Moore]

Red light, green light. Keep going.

[Mike Wright]

It kept going.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, man.

[Mike Wright]

And the Jaguars defense, they're number seven against the running back position. That is their strength. Vidal, though, I, you know, when you have a top 10 finish, that's why people play you.

[Jason Moore]

The next week you play Vidal, I mean.

[Mike Wright]

But just know this is the week where it doesn't work out.

[Jason Moore]

Yes. If the incredible, very predictive analysis.

[Mike Wright]

21, 5, 19, red light, 3 17.

[Jason Moore]

If that continues, he will be bad. But I mean, last week, 93% of the snaps, if you follow the pattern, he should score one fantasy 26 opportunities. It.

[Mike Wright]

Would you play him or Woody Marks after last Week's performance from Woody Marks.

[Jason Moore]

I would play Vidal.

[Mike Wright]

That's what I would do.

[Jason Moore]

I'm more comfortable than the work.

[Mike Wright]

Travis etn. How are we feeling?

[Andy Holloway]

Meh.

[Mike Wright]

We're feeling somebody starting Travis etn. I am.

[Andy Holloway]

I'm starting Travis etn In our league of record. He's. He's been pretty good for the season. It just hasn't. It's not efficient, which is not shocking. And Travis ETN has really been like a touchdown guy. The thing is, is he gets touchdowns. So I think that's a legit question. Is ETN or Vidal? Those two guys. I probably on the ETN side, but that. That's the tier that I think I see him in right now.

[Mike Wright]

I think I'm. I think I'm comfortable with that. We know that the Chargers defense, the run funnel, the Jags defense, very good against the run. I would go there myself. I think Herbert's my start of the week. Jacksonville's allowed five straight top 12 quarterback performances, even to Davis Mills and Brian Thomas Jr. Ltd. The ankle. Probably not going to play Parker Washington. Fortunately came back to practice on Thursday after missing with a hamstring. So I'm more optimistic there. He's been targeted on a team leading 25% of routes in the last month. I was even with some Travis Hunter and Brian Thomas Jr. Out there.

[Jason Moore]

What do you do if Brian Thomas plays? Like, do you even play him?

[Mike Wright]

Probably, I think I do.

[Jason Moore]

I mean, he's been. He's had 10 or more points two times.

[Mike Wright]

No, I mean, Parker's been much better.

[Jason Moore]

That's like the. Let me try and find some names here.

[Andy Holloway]

Like, I mean, well, just ask the question in this game. Let's say Brian Thomas junior's back and you have him and you've got Parker Washington. Who do you start? And that's a wild question.

[Jason Moore]

It's a wild question because, I mean, where. How many.

[Mike Wright]

And Jacoby's going to be involved. I mean, he was 3 for 41 in his debut last week. I thought he looked good. He'll probably be more involved. Like there's a world where Thomas and Parker, like Parker might go in limited on Friday. And then all of a sudden you asked. Unfortunately, I'm throwing another name in the ring. But Jacoby is like kind of interesting in this game.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I mean, the truth is the Chargers past defense is very good. So I'm not excited about any of them. Including Parker Washington with the hamstring issue, despite his great game last week. They're not. I think there are other players that are just better options.

[Mike Wright]

This week, a reminder. You always can find our rankings and start sit tool, which is always being updated all throughout the week at the fantasy footballers.com Gadsden got a full practice in on Wednesday and Thursday. That's great news. He should be back out there. Jason was confident enough to trade for him and start him this week. So that should tell you what you need to know. We'll take a quick break and jump. Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

It's going to go terrible.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, is it?

[Jason Moore]

I know what happens when Jason trades for tight ends.

[Mike Wright]

It hasn't been the best.

[Andy Holloway]

It's tight end. Kiss of death. Yeah. They've been getting injured. Sorry, guys.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Stay healthy, Gadson.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. You.

[Jason Moore]

You cursed him.

[Mike Wright]

What's the opposite of Midas? Is there another guy than Midas where everything you touch turns just like poop? Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

I mean, turning everything to gold is actually not very great.

[Mike Wright]

King chocolate or something. All right, we'll go ahead and take a break. We got another matchup coming up.

[Andy Holloway]

[Mike Wright]

I was actually picturing that, like the chocolate monster on the Candy Land board.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, that's what I was.

[Mike Wright]

Which is kind of a gross thing to picture. All right. Seattle 7 and 2. If it's not chocolate, at Los Angeles, the Rams, 7 and 2.

[Jason Moore]

That's chocolate.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, you're looking at a picture.

[Jason Moore]

I'm looking at it right now.

[Mike Wright]

It is. It's Candyland, Mike.

[Jason Moore]

That dude. That's not chocolate. That's doo doo, baby.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, that's disgusting.

[Mike Wright]

He's a. He's kind of a nasty creature, isn't he?

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. You don't get. You don't want to get sent back to Chocolate Lamp.

[Jason Moore]

No, no, no, you don't. In that game.

[Mike Wright]

And he's towards the beginning of the board, I think, so. You really don't. Because I'm a. Are there professional Candyland players out there? He has. So freaking funny.

[Andy Holloway]

Four years old.

[Jason Moore]

There has to be.

[Mike Wright]

I mean, a pro circuit.

[Jason Moore]

No, I'm saying, like, I've seen people play, like, high stakes.

[Andy Holloway]

Uno.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, baby.

[Jason Moore]

There's got to be Candy Land. There has to be a high chance.

[Mike Wright]

Just pure, unadulterated chance. All right, the Seahawks and Rams. This is a fun one. It's a 48 and a half point over under. It's in Los Angeles.

[Andy Holloway]

It's for the division.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. I mean, LA minus three in this one. I love this game. I'm very excited about it. I think I would have probably gone with whoever was at home in this one. So I lean the Ram side. Matthew Stafford has been on fire, but the Seahawks have a great defense that's going to really challenge the run he's on. Puka and Devonte should both be back out there. Kyren, you know, he is. He's been good. It's interesting to see what the snap counts have been. I mean, Kyren is not playing as much as he has in the past, but he's being just as productive. I mean, four of the last five weeks in the top 12, three of those top five, last four touchdowns. He's back into the touchdown groove.

[Jason Moore]

Last week was, yeah. Season low. Snaps, 14 carries. Corm had 13. That was the dismantling of the 49ers. I don't look too much into that.

[Mike Wright]

If you had Ken Walker and Charbonnet. Are you still going, Charbonnet?

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, I think you have to. It's been only one of them.

[Andy Holloway]

Walker. I was going to say Walker can only get a touchdown if it's from, like 25 yards away or something.

[Jason Moore]

50 plus.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. Right now I'm pretty excited about this. JSN has been.

[Andy Holloway]

He must have like a, like a contract bonus for touchdowns.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, Ken Walgreen.

[Jason Moore]

He's got some escalators in there.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, some escalators. Don't you let him get eight.

[Mike Wright]

Would you play the quarterbacks in this game?

[Jason Moore]

Sam Darnold for sure. Yeah. And Stafford. Yeah, Stafford. You. He is on a. He's nuclear right now. He's a must start top 8 and 5 of 6. Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

Devonte Puka combo has worked out really well. It's a wild one because Cooper cup was.

[Jason Moore]

I will say he's on the other.

[Mike Wright]

Side of this one.

[Jason Moore]

If so devonte Adams didn't practice Wednesday limited on Thursday with his old man back injury. If Adams doesn't play, it does change how I look at Stafford 100% because.

[Andy Holloway]

Around the goal line that's. I mean that's the league leading nine touchdowns for devonte Adams and those are obviously Staffords. I don't think it happens without him there. They probably run the ball more. Focus on Kyron. So I would agree with you that if Adams doesn't play. That being said, you know they came out and basically said that he should be good to go.

[Jason Moore]

Say like just to highlight what's going on with Stafford here, he already has more passing touchdowns than his entire 2024 season and his entire 2023 season. No, it's been like this is, this is why it feels like it could go away at any time because we've seen Stafford with the Rams for a long time and it's really just one monster season. But that's why I'm saying devonte Adams is. He's the difference.

[Andy Holloway]

Well, I guess the question that needs to be answered is so he's an outlier right now in his touchdown percentage. He's throwing 8.1 touchdowns. Is his current rate his previous career percentage? Yes, 8.1% touchdown percentage. Previous career high was 6.8.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. That first year with the Rams.

[Andy Holloway]

So then the question is should we expect this to regress towards his average or is this that outlier season for him?

[Jason Moore]

I mean you mathematically you should always expect it. But I would he had. I keep rolling the dice.

[Mike Wright]

I'll always remember his third season.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh yeah.

[Mike Wright]

Because that was the 41 touchdown season. He was at 6.2 that year. It dipped to 2.8 the next year. But it was a special year. Ride it.

[Jason Moore]

Yep.

[Mike Wright]

Ride it while you can and enjoy the ride.

[Andy Holloway]

I also think that when you Are in the MVP race. You know what I mean? Like, he is. He is the coach wants. Absolutely. You might end up with a couple.

[Jason Moore]

Tap passes like the old Lamar's in the race at the end of the year. Like maybe we play action a little bit more.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

Would you let me give you a couple Ken Walkers here. No, Ken Walker, Kareem Hunt against Denver because we know Pacheco's hurt.

[Jason Moore]

Right.

[Andy Holloway]

I've got him back to back.

[Jason Moore]

I've got probably Kareem Hunt, D. Markato or Ken Walker.

[Andy Holloway]

Walker.

[Jason Moore]

I think I still go Walker there.

[Mike Wright]

Okay.

[Jason Moore]

That's way closer than it should be.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. That conversation.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, that's disgusting.

[Mike Wright]

I mean, Mike, if you really want to keep your.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

Your momentum, there's another.

[Jason Moore]

Whoa, Walker. Don't try and knock me off my cloud.

[Andy Holloway]

No, no, no. We want your cloud.

[Mike Wright]

Quattro this thing.

[Andy Holloway]

Go lasso Walker power and pull him up on that cloud. You're on, guys.

[Jason Moore]

I can only do so much.

[Mike Wright]

Don't leave him down there.

[Andy Holloway]

It makes me want to bet on Walker now.

[Mike Wright]

It does make me feel like Walker's going to blow up.

[Jason Moore]

It's all if Walker blows up.

[Mike Wright]

Walker has a two touchdown week.

[Andy Holloway]

Mike scared of Mike.

[Mike Wright]

Mike will be levitating off the chair. The 49ers are 6 and 4 and they take on the Arizona Cardinals in D. Marcado. The Cardinals are three and six. The Vegas line. San Fran on the road minus three. They get some weapons back.

[Jason Moore]

Over.

[Mike Wright]

Under is 48 and a half. That's a nice over. Under gives the Cardinals 23 points. San Francisco around 26. San Francisco won a nasty one. 16, 15 somehow because the Cardinals had dominated the whole game and they came back and kicked a field goal to win it.

[Jason Moore]

Marv, just like his appendix will be out.

[Mike Wright]

Thank you. Thank you. Yeah. The Cardinals will not have Marvin Harrison. They will not have Zay Jones, who has had a big role on the team, who tore his Achilles. They probably will not have Bam Knight. If he is back, he will be limited. D. Markado seems like the one to play from that group. He can catch the ball. He has breakaway runs frequently. It's not a huge. I mean, you just heard the breakdown. So it's in the Ken Walker tier.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. I can't imagine wanting to start D. Markato. I know he's had some breakaway runs, but he only had four carries last week. If I had to start a Cardinal, I probably would prefer DeMarcato over Bam Knight, who was limited in practice this week. But I'm not excited if Bam Knight really doesn't play. If he's absent from the game then DeMarcusato becomes interesting.

[Mike Wright]

Trey McBride is a lock for a high high floor this week with good ceiling opportunity with Jacoby, who has been the quarterback 31210 and in four starts he averages 280 passing yards a game. Which means you should be able to find another player that's startable. I mean the defense for San Francisco is not good, especially against the wide receiver position. They give up 34 points a week and currently we've said no names. So to me, Michael Wilson.

[Andy Holloway]

Michael Wilson would be.

[Jason Moore]

It is at least of note. Jacoby's started four games.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

So the first five weeks of the season Michael Wilson with Kyler Murray was averaging 10 yards a game. 10 receiving yards a game. With Jacoby it's 45. So the. That's nothing. You know, if you play it, you're. And get 50 yards or if you're not very happy. But saying the. The opportunity for someone who has been producing of late is there.

[Andy Holloway]

It's Parker, Parker Washington or Michael Wilson?

[Jason Moore]

I think that's a good question. I would go.

[Mike Wright]

I'd go Parker the way he. I'm not going to go away from that target totals.

[Jason Moore]

I think I might go Wilson there. The injury on Parker scares me.

[Mike Wright]

Luther Burden or Michael Wilson?

[Jason Moore]

Wilson.

[Andy Holloway]

Wilson.

[Mike Wright]

Okay.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

The Trey McBide story has been great. Ricky Pearsall, how confident would you be to throw him back out there? I'd be. I'd be nervous.

[Jason Moore]

I'd be nervous. But I would do it immediately.

[Andy Holloway]

That's. I think that's exactly where I am.

[Mike Wright]

Wow. So you would bench Jennings?

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. For Piersol? Yeah, Yeah, I would.

[Mike Wright]

Okay. George Kittle, keep it going. CMC. He's only on pace for 459op per dude. That's going to just keeps going.

[Jason Moore]

He better be sleeping in some sort of mystical chamber right now.

[Andy Holloway]

459 opportunities. He's.

[Jason Moore]

He's built different.

[Mike Wright]

Are you.

[Andy Holloway]

You can't do that. He is still a human. Like.

[Jason Moore]

Yes.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. Certainly.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh man. But this is their going to be turned into mincemeat.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. I mean they just haven't had anybody else to lean on.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. No. I think this team really does need Pearsall. Pearsall was. I believe he was leading the league in yards. Receiving. Yards per game.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

And so he was leading the league.

[Jason Moore]

It wouldn't just receiving yards but it.

[Mike Wright]

Was only a three week. Three week sample before the injury. So.

[Jason Moore]

And the thing with Piersol, Shanahan says He's going to play. I wouldn't put him in your lineup on Friday afternoon and walk away. I would. Because of.

[Andy Holloway]

Shanahanigan's.

[Jason Moore]

Correct. Like I put it, at high, high odds he's going to play. I'm just saying, with the way that San Francisco does stuff. Oh. Oh, no.

[Andy Holloway]

Andy's almost upset of the week.

[Mike Wright]

Wait.

[Andy Holloway]

Wait a minute. What are you doing?

[Jason Moore]

What? Why?

[Andy Holloway]

You don't have to do this.

[Mike Wright]

I'm just hitting the button. Just hitting the button, huh? It's been a minute. By the way, are you going to care about Brock Purdy as a fantasy player before the end of the year? Yes or no?

[Andy Holloway]

Yes. Yes.

[Jason Moore]

Okay.

[Mike Wright]

Baltimore four and five, Cleveland two and seven. The Vegas line. Baltimore minus Cardinals, seven and a half.

[Jason Moore]

The over.

[Mike Wright]

Under is 38 and a half. At least I'm getting the reaction I need for it to be right.

[Jason Moore]

I just. That's a. That's a hefty amount of.

[Mike Wright]

Here's. Can you. Do you want the argument or no?

[Jason Moore]

Sure.

[Mike Wright]

The argument is the pass rush for the 49ers is the worst in football since they lost Nick Bosa. They don't put pressure on the quarterback. And if you don't put pressure on Jacoby Brissette, he dices people up. That's what he's done. So. And I have confidence in the Cardinals defense. You got Brock Purdy coming back from an injury. I.

[Jason Moore]

Can you, I think, dice enough.

[Mike Wright]

I think they'll do enough. You guys don't have to believe.

[Jason Moore]

No, no, no.

[Mike Wright]

You just have to watch.

[Jason Moore]

I recognize the sorcerer, but I'm saying, can they dice enough with Michael Wilson and Greg Dorch?

[Mike Wright]

Don't forget Xavier Weaver.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, yeah, yeah. The guy who this year, when we saw him on the field, we went, who is that?

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. I mean, they've diced as Cardinal fans, as professional football analysts who live in Arizona or. Cardinals fan. I never heard of this guy.

[Mike Wright]

With all due respect, he has diced without Marvin Harrison in some of those games. Two of the games that they. Where he diced up the defense. Guess. Guess what? The total yardage was 32 and 58. He can get it done.

[Jason Moore]

He'd still at least have to pay attention to Marv, though.

[Mike Wright]

Even if he doesn't get the ball. Hey, look, look, I hit the button.

[Jason Moore]

This will be a fun one.

[Mike Wright]

I've already introduced the next game.

[Jason Moore]

All right.

[Mike Wright]

Baltimore 4 and 5, Cleveland 2 and 7. Baltimore minus 7 and a half on the road. Over, under just 38 gives Baltimore enough points, but not Cleveland 15 and a half there. Let's start with the Cleveland side. Baltimore smushed them 4117 in week two. Lamar is going to play. He is playing well. The other side there, Quinch on Judkins against the world is what it feels like.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

And the Ravens defense in the last six weeks, Jason, very good.

[Andy Holloway]

So much better. I mean, they are shutting down the run. Quarterbacks aren't doing much better. Mike brought this up a couple weeks ago, talking about how early in the year with all the injuries to the Ravens defense and when they were losing most of their games and just anyone could do anything they want, they went to their buy, they came back, they. They got healthier and they also schematically just changed things. They've really been locked down. And I don't expect the Browns with Gillen Gabriel, as you would say, as I call him, I don't expect them to be the ones to revert Baltimore to a bad defense. So, yeah, I mean, it's Quinch on Judkins and I think that's it. I'm not sure I even want to start Harold Fannin, who is awesome. You know, it's. I think that's it. Like just Judkins.

[Mike Wright]

I just took a quick look in our league of record if Jerry Judy was rostered.

[Andy Holloway]

Is he.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, yeah. That guy back there. That's the Judy manager back there. I just picked him up on waivers. Did you really? Is he in your lineup? Yep. Okay. All right.

[Andy Holloway]

You and I, that's how bad it's going for.

[Jason Moore]

Gill and Gabriel is going to have to throw that ball a lot.

[Mike Wright]

Well, I did see one other person.

[Andy Holloway]

Had a claim on Jerry Judy this week. Oh, no.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, no.

[Jason Moore]

Who was it?

[Mike Wright]

Jason.

[Andy Holloway]

You care to fess up, Jason?

[Jason Moore]

Whoa, what Jason for. Oh, Judy?

[Andy Holloway]

No, earlier in the week I had no plans to marry him. So I.

[Jason Moore]

You're. You're under the bus too.

[Andy Holloway]

No, no, no.

[Mike Wright]

He did. He had two bye week situations. He told me he had like Calvin Austin in his lineup.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. And I made trades and I fixed my lineup because I would never.

[Mike Wright]

The Baltimore side, you love Lamar, you play Derek Henry. But do you really want to mess around with tight ends when you know Andrews and likely are both going to be kind of tight end or bust situations? They flowers.

[Andy Holloway]

They are tight end, but they're always tight end. So I don't think they'll bust. If it's tight end or bust. They're always going to be a tight end. You meant touchdown or bust, idiot.

[Mike Wright]

I did. I did mean touchdown or. But did I Say tight end or.

[Jason Moore]

Yes you did.

[Mike Wright]

Okay. That was pretty dumb. Zay Flowers though. One top 24 finish. I wonder if you'd play him or DK Metcalf against Cincy in that. In that high over under.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah it. This is my everlasting every week struggle.

[Mike Wright]

Oh yeah, you have both those dudes.

[Jason Moore]

Zay Flowers or DK Metcalf? It's DK Metcalf is in my lineup right now. Just based off of game script. You want pieces of that Pittsburgh game. I know what will happen because is DK Met crap but process wise it still says I'm going to play him.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah you usually love playing guys against Cincinnati. That's just try to play. Try to play people against Cincinnati and against the Cowboys and don't watch try.

[Jason Moore]

With the home Metcalf against. He was 3 for 50 last time against Cincinnati. 100 bajillion dollars multiple draft picks. 3 for 50 against the world's worst defense.

[Mike Wright]

Unbelievable candy diet. Kansas City 5 and 4 Denver 8 and 2 in Denver. Kansas City favored by three and a half on the road here. No respect right? 8 and 2 division leader Denver is over under 44.

[Andy Holloway]

Denver's not been playing good on one side of the ball. I mean their defense is absolutely outstanding. That shutting people down. They are winning ball games for them. But I mean they, you know the last two weeks you're talking about putting up 18 points and 10 points.

[Mike Wright]

The Chiefs have a higher point differential at 5 and 4 than the 8 and 2 Denver Broncos.

[Jason Moore]

That's wild.

[Mike Wright]

The Chiefs we know are much better than 5 and 4. And I think we know that Denver's not an 8 and 2 team. And no, no disrespect to them, they are an 8 and 2 team. But I just mean from a threat standpoint right now they are a little bit like Philly in the fact that they have a good record. But you want to see their offenses play better. Bonix is weird because he's not getting pressured, he's pressuring himself. Yeah, he's getting out of the pocket too soon. He's throwing on the run for no reason. He's only completing 61% of his passes despite being pressured the least in football.

[Jason Moore]

If you want to know what the wise guys think of Kansas City, they are currently the betting favorite for the Super Bowl.

[Mike Wright]

It makes sense.

[Jason Moore]

Like what, what a wild world we had with those first three weeks. You're like holy crap, is it done? Are the Kansas City Chiefs. Is it, is it finally hit a point where they can be stopped and now they're 5 and 4 and they're the favorites to win the whole league.

[Mike Wright]

Mahomes on pace for 4,400 yards and 32 passing touchdowns. It has been very nice to have Rashi Rice back on this offense. We're not sure if Worthy will be out there. He's been limited in practice this week and he's only got one top 24 finish. If he was out, is there a dart throw you care about? Probably not. Against Denver?

[Jason Moore]

Probably not. It would be. It'll be Thornton for me, but no.

[Mike Wright]

Now you're going to have Kareem Hunt all alone, pretty much starting for Kansas City. But it's against again the Denver defense. RB2.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fair. He's been. He was RB11 and RB16 last week. You know, last week was the. No Pacheco, 78% of the snaps, only 13 opportunities, but high likelihood of scoring.

[Mike Wright]

Is it going to be Harvey and Bidet only or are we going to get a third? Is McLaughlin still on that roster?

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, he might be involved, but the. We had some more Sean Payton talking about Harvey. Also talked about Pat Bryant, which was nice. But Harvey is like, this is. This is it. This is his room, his travion opportunity. RJ Harvey's a good player and he's excellent in the receiving game as well. And I think that's where he's gonna have to be utilized this week.

[Mike Wright]

What are your thoughts on Cortland Sutton? I feel like he's.

[Andy Holloway]

Would you rather start Kareem Hunt or RJ Harvey in this game? They both have the injury ahead of them.

[Jason Moore]

Wow.

[Andy Holloway]

They're both playing tough defenses. I'm on the RJ Harvey side.

[Jason Moore]

I think I'm on the Harvey side. Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

Three of our top 20 most popular start state questions involve Harvey, Harvey or Kamani Vidal is number four. I'd go Vidal, Harvey or Rashad White is number eight.

[Andy Holloway]

I'd go Harvey.

[Jason Moore]

I'm okay going Harvey there.

[Mike Wright]

Harvey or Woody Marks is also on there.

[Andy Holloway]

I'd go Harvey.

[Jason Moore]

I think it's Harvey there.

[Mike Wright]

And then a flex question. Jameson Williams or R.J. harvey?

[Andy Holloway]

Harvey.

[Jason Moore]

Wow.

[Andy Holloway]

I think I'm in on Harvey.

[Jason Moore]

Okay, you think.

[Mike Wright]

I think it's like a 44 and a half point over under two good defenses. I think that's the only threat to all of this production is that you get into one of those 16, 15 type of games. You know, I'm definitely worried about Cortland Sutton. He's only averaged three receptions per game. Honestly, Sutton has been basically Denver metcalf.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, nice.

[Mike Wright]

It's been the case. He not enough work, not enough touchdowns on the season.

[Jason Moore]

He has been much better than DK Metcalf. Like, through the first seven weeks, you had two extremely disappointing games and five games where you're very, very happy. But the trend of, like the trend of six, six targets going to your number one guy who's got the money, it. It makes no sense.

[Mike Wright]

Well, the catch percentage has been down too, because Bo Nicks has been one of the most inaccurate intermediate passers the last three games. If you plot that out for Sutton over the year, it's not impressive. It's 45 for 600 now.

[Jason Moore]

Like, if my confidence that Sutton gets it going over the second half versus DK is heavily on the Cortland Sutton side.

[Mike Wright]

Okay. All right. Travis Kelsey.

[Jason Moore]

Sure.

You know when I said Fantasy Face off before the break, Jason gave me a little look. Yeah, like he knew. I don't even know who it is. Who is it this week?

[Jason Moore]

Well.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, is it?

[Jason Moore]

I don't know. It was. It was a tie between Jason and I. Yeah, we went down. Our tiebreakers were insane. So close because, like, I missed my two by one catch. And then I think four passing yards.

[Andy Holloway]

Ibert. Seven total yards away from hitting everything.

[Mike Wright]

So you guys should just hit everything like I did.

[Jason Moore]

So that. Yeah, going through this, it's a lot more fun when you do, but. So the tiebreaker just Was that Jason made us think that he had perished.

[Mike Wright]

I just.

[Andy Holloway]

I'm worried about this show.

[Mike Wright]

He was in a better place, technically.

[Andy Holloway]

I'm worried about this. Romeo Dobbs would agree because I got in and Owl asked me for my lineup, which he does not. Ask the person.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, no. Did you?

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. He's like, hey, can you just send me. Yeah, just in case. In case what? In case I can't see, read, breathe. We'll find out. Stay tuned.

[Jason Moore]

Nice.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, the irony of thinking you were dead on Tuesday and maybe killing you on Friday.

[Andy Holloway]

You're just gonna give me a piece of old tenderloin. Eat up. Eat it.

[Jason Moore]

Food poisoning. Before we jump. We're in the Sunday night game.

[Mike Wright]

We're about to be.

[Jason Moore]

I just. Guys, remember when Henderson had three touchdowns last night?

[Andy Holloway]

The pure, real joy is amazing.

[Mike Wright]

Such a good night, Mike.

[Jason Moore]

Oh.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, man. I'm happy, man. I'm happy for you.

[Andy Holloway]

That was the best.

[Jason Moore]

That was the best. After the two, it was like.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, I pulled. I was driving next to Mike on the. On the drive in and we were. I was matching his speed. He didn't see me for a little while. While. And I looked over and I saw a happy person.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

I just saw a glow. A glow.

[Andy Holloway]

He has no resting tendency. He always has a resting, angry face. Not today.

[Jason Moore]

Not today, baby.

[Mike Wright]

It was impressive. All right. Detroit six and three, Philly seven and two. Here we go in Philly.

[Andy Holloway]

Yes.

[Mike Wright]

Is a fun one. Sunday Night Football. This will be great. Philly minus two and a half over under 46 and a half. Yeah, it's a pretty important game in terms of the NFC playoff picture. The Detroit games this year, we've been. We've loved them. I mean, they have been the third most points per game in the league in terms of combined total points in Detroit games. I do think Philadelphia, we've said this this week. I've made my efforts to trade for him. It didn't work. I do think A.J. brown's going to get it going over the second half of the year. Jason, you made him your start of the week because of your confidence in AJ Brown. The Lions defense, you know, I think you can beat them for some big plays here. So Devontae Smith, AJ Brown, I play them with confidence. Lions given up 32 fantasy points a game to wide receivers. So it's not very complicated from a start. Sit perspective in this game. Hertz, Barkley, play the big two wide outs. You can dance with Goddard if you want to dance with the devil.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. Would you rather have someone like Otten where you're a little bit more.

[Jason Moore]

I would.

[Andy Holloway]

Confident in the involvement?

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. I. Goddard's going to be high in the rankings because he's been getting it done. But in terms of just the. The chance of a big whiff, like a big swing and a miss, it's more on the Goddard side than Otton.

[Mike Wright]

I don't know the exact number. Maybe Kyle has it, but Jameer Gibbs is on the cusp of breaking like a total rushing touchdown record. At his age, I think it's very, very close. He's been awesome. Three touchdowns last week. You know, it's amazing to break a record like that or be near a record like that when you're in a committee.

[Andy Holloway]

It's also amazing to be near a record like that when you're in a committee and you're an undersized back. This isn't Derek Henry. Touchdowns are the goal line. Big bodied, bruising guy and it's just like the little speedster.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. He gets listed at a weight that I don't agree with.

[Jason Moore]

Weird. Too high or too low?

[Mike Wright]

Too low.

[Andy Holloway]

You think he is no longer £200?

[Mike Wright]

No, he's not £200. He's probably 215.

[Jason Moore]

He's a very svelte young man.

[Mike Wright]

I'm on R.A. of course. Gibbs. Of course. Laporta. I think you need to monitor the back limitations in practice this week. But if he's active, I'm okay. You know, if you've been playing him, I'M okay with it but jmo, he's been heating up. They've been getting the, getting him the ball closer to the line of scrimmage. Yeah, his A dot give him opportunities to run.

[Jason Moore]

His A dot has been much different as of recent, you know, the past two games compared to the way that the game or the season started for him which that will turn into a much safer Jameson Williams with ceiling. So the, the yardage has been up.

[Mike Wright]

There the last two weeks.

[Jason Moore]

I think the difference is is real be the fact that it was talked about and then they put it into action and now we're at two weeks NBA Jam rules.

[Mike Wright]

Was that conversation about did it happen during the buy?

[Jason Moore]

I think so.

[Andy Holloway]

There was something out of the buy.

[Mike Wright]

Much better.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. And then last week obviously the play calling change where Dan Campbell took it over. So he's actually, you know, facilitating what he wants to have happen. Gives you a little bit more confidence in Jameson Williams. I still don't see him as a must start simply because he's got, you know, two good games in a row.

[Mike Wright]

Play Metcalf or Jameson.

[Jason Moore]

I'd play Jameson.

[Andy Holloway]

I think I would go Metcalf there against Cincinnati.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, it's actually I'm looking at our start state tool right now we have them 19 and 24. So Metcalf is in the lead right now just because that matchup is so juicy and the over unders a little higher. They're favored but it's close and if you've been burnt like if you've been burnt by Metcalf a bunch of weeks in a row, I don't, I don't blame you for mixing it up here because I think the Sunday night game is going to be pretty fun. We have a Monday night game between Dallas at three five and one and the Las Vegas Raiders who are two and seven Vegas line Dallas minus three and a half. The over under is 50 and a half. I have gotten the impression via Twitter and start sit tool and this office and other people's lineups that I've seen that there is a surprising amount of relying upon the Raiders going on for this week.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, it's really relying upon the Cowboys right.

[Mike Wright]

Which, which I do, I recognize has been a really, really good bet but also a good bet has been anti Gino. Yeah, so I do, I think you are still, you're playing your odds right that they, they should be able to have some success. It's nice that they're at home. It's nice that Dallas can't play defense but you're still playing some roulette, right? You're still. Of course you're still. I mean to have Brock Bowers come from the week he had off the injury dominant to a catch. That is the Gino roulette. Right. And when you are now mixing in not established wideouts like Trey Tucker, Jack Besh or Thornton and established but retiring Tyler Lockett, it does add some fear into.

[Jason Moore]

These are not the. These are lower probability plays but it if this week if you need someone I both. Both lock it. I mean I talk. I strapped on the. The. The unobtainium underpants for Tyler Lockett and Trey Tucker. They're both in play the two weeks ago the first week back with Brock Bowers. That was against Jacksonville. Like good defense but beatable. Then it was on the road against Denver. That one is like you understand you. You expect more from Brock Bowers each and every week, but it at least makes sense. And now you're at home against Dallas.

[Mike Wright]

I am facing Trey Tucker in a matchup.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, that I am to be hilariously terrifying.

[Mike Wright]

I am simultaneously happy and afraid.

[Jason Moore]

Yes, yes.

[Mike Wright]

I'm like cool. I'm playing against Trey Tucker also.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

He scored three times earlier this year.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. This is a. It's going to be really, really cool to see because Dallas has added defensive pieces. They had a bye week to implement it. So they're coming off the buy and they're getting a mediocre at best offense to face in the Raiders.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

And so we're going to learn a lot this week because if Geno goes out and looks great and Trey Tucker has a good game and Lockett's fine and Bowers is then. Then delicious. Delicious. The Cowboys still stink. If the Cowboys are able to go from historically bad defense to meh defense, which would be terrible. We'll find out this week.

[Mike Wright]

They gave up 27 against Arizona, but they did sack Jacoby five times. Yeah, it will be. You're right. We'll find out this week. Las Vegas, they can't pressure you right now. And dak your start of the week. Lamb Pickens, Javante Ferguson. Are we just. Yeah, you're playing your Cowboys. We did get the official word that Dalton Kincaid has been ruled out for week 11. We thought that was coming. But that Khalil Shakir's ankle is quote, in a good spot. It's probably where all of our ankles are. According to head coach Sean McDermott. Expect to see him out there. All right. I don't think we have any other updates, do we?

[Jason Moore]

I don't see, the Tyler Lockett was limited on Thursday, but they're the Monday night game. So that's his Wednesday practice. But still pay attention due to him being ready for arp.

[Mike Wright]

Yes. No.

[Andy Holloway]

All right, have a good weekend, everybody.

[Mike Wright]

Sorry.

[Andy Holloway]

Fantasy Face off presented by Prize Picks.

[Mike Wright]

Well, Jason's got a little fear going on right now.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

You know, he gets to spin it.

[Andy Holloway]

Wheel of shame. All right, let's see. So close last week.

[Jason Moore]

Mustaches on the wheel.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, gosh.

[Jason Moore]

Please, just be a razor. Make him shake.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, that would be so good.

[Jason Moore]

Rainy day peace out. Oh, like.

[Mike Wright]

Like you did on.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, like I did. Oh, my gosh.

[Jason Moore]

What?

[Andy Holloway]

He's bringing me a plate.

[Mike Wright]

You got a plate of tenderloins here.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, my gosh. What is this?

[Jason Moore]

Raw beef Salisbury steak.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, these look disgusting. These aren't real.

[Mike Wright]

No, those are real.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay. I was like, do I.

[Mike Wright]

That's just a. That's a prop. Oh, man. What's real is your piece out mask.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, yeah. I won't see anything.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. We'll read your lineup for you there, Jay. You peaced out on us. We'll peace out on you.

[Jason Moore]

Kind of looks like rabbit ears a little bit.

[Andy Holloway]

I thought at first.

[Jason Moore]

What in the world is that thing?

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, my God, the finger.

[Jason Moore]

There's not even holes. There's no holes.

[Andy Holloway]

There's slits. There's no.

[Mike Wright]

We need to stay on Jason's camera.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, my gosh.

[Jason Moore]

Why in the world is that?

[Mike Wright]

There's.

[Andy Holloway]

I can barely breathe.

[Mike Wright]

You've got a breath hole.

[Andy Holloway]

I think it only lets air out.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, peace out, bro.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I will be peaceing out all right. Very soon.

[Mike Wright]

We better get through the. Have a tenderloin. All right, quarterback. No, no, I'm going. Joe Flacco.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, baby. I love it.

[Mike Wright]

More than 262.5 passing.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, I love it.

[Andy Holloway]

I'm going. This is gross. I'm going. Gino Geno Smith. I'm taking more than one. Whatever his projection was because.223 and a half passing. He said receiving yards, but yes, passing.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, yeah. Oh, I like that. I'm going back to the well on this one. We got. That is sensational.

[Mike Wright]

At first.

[Andy Holloway]

At first I really thought it was a monstrosity.

[Mike Wright]

Did you?

[Andy Holloway]

I thought we were just going straight bird.

[Jason Moore]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, hey. We got Gillen Gabriel.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, okay. That's going to be a less.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, no, you're thinking the wrong direction.

[Mike Wright]

Okay.

[Jason Moore]

32 and a half passing attempts.

[Mike Wright]

Okay.

[Jason Moore]

So we were going to go the more.

[Mike Wright]

All right.

[Jason Moore]

He's going to have to throw the ball, like, 30 times in the second half.

[Mike Wright]

My running back this week, Jakori, Crosby, Merritt.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, that's a loss.

[Jason Moore]

Hold on, hold on.

[Mike Wright]

I don't have a good vibe here. This dude has not been getting it done. I think the other guys are going to get more work. 32.5 rushing yards. I'm taking the less. That's.

[Jason Moore]

That's his projection.

[Mike Wright]

It is.

[Andy Holloway]

I'm going.

[Mike Wright]

And he's been under that a lot.

[Andy Holloway]

I'm going to go with one that I like. This is probably the one I like the most this week is Chase Brown.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, I already like it.

[Andy Holloway]

I believe it's 19 and a half receiving yards. That is correct. And I'm going more than that, baby.

[Jason Moore]

I like it.

[Andy Holloway]

He's been crushing that with.

[Mike Wright]

No, that's a good one.

[Jason Moore]

I was able to jump in on this one a bit earlier on the week. We got RJ Harvey, ladies and gentlemen, at two and a half receptions, I am taking the more.

[Mike Wright]

All right, wide receiver. It's Jason and Al Borland's guide, Jerry Judy.

[Jason Moore]

No way.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, my God.

[Jason Moore]

No way. What are you doing?

[Mike Wright]

40.5 receiving yards. I'm taking the more.

[Jason Moore]

Okay.

[Mike Wright]

I'm taking more with Judy.

[Andy Holloway]

Wow.

[Jason Moore]

You just.

[Andy Holloway]

Man, you did that on purpose.

[Jason Moore]

This man.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, he's living reckless. I did it on purpose. I got Gill and Gabriel.

[Andy Holloway]

This is going to be my green Goblin. I'm going with player that I just. I really, really, really have loved Tez Johnson. What is his green Goblin?

[Mike Wright]

It's like, where am I?

[Andy Holloway]

19 and a half receiving. 19 and a half receiving. Give me that.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

I'm going more.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, that's. That's not bad. I'm realizing I probably should have found a tire. The locket one. But I got T. Higgins. 59 and a half receiving yards. I'm taking the more.

[Mike Wright]

Tight end. My green goblin. 19.5 receiving yards. I'm taking the more. It's Jake Ferguson.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, 20 yards. That's all he needs, huh?

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. 19.5.

[Andy Holloway]

See, I got. I got a higher line. Mine's Zach Ertz. I think he's at like, 41 and a half correct receiving yards.

[Mike Wright]

I love the speculative.

[Andy Holloway]

Well, because I'm doing it all from memory.

[Mike Wright]

I can't see anything. It's impressive.

[Andy Holloway]

And I'm ready to pass out. I'll take. I'll take less on 60 seconds of me surviving, but, yeah, I'm taking more than 41 and a half receiving yards for Zach Ertz.

[Jason Moore]

What was your Goblin Andy Ferguson.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, yeah, the 19.5.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, we all. My green goblin is my tight end position as well as Trey McBride T McBee.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, boy.

[Jason Moore]

We got five and a half receptions, boys. So we probably. We should probably double that this week.
