[Andy Holloway]

Welcome to the the Fantasy footballers podcast with your hosts Andy Holloway, Jason Moore and Mike Wright.

[Jason Moore]

Welcome in.

Monday, December 8.

The fantasy footballers podcast. Mike Wright, Jason Moore, Andy Holloway.

Back in the building. A Monday episode.

We have one game left till your fantasy playoffs.

But we're a year round show so you hang around with us and we keep talking about football.

[Mike Wright]

Yes. It's never too soon.

[Jason Moore]

I, you know, we're all monitoring all of our leagues and some of us are fighting for the last spot in a couple of leagues. And you know I was in the playoffs in the listener league.

[Andy Holloway]

Yes, yes.

[Jason Moore]

Like as going into.

[Andy Holloway]

Going into last week you were a current playoff team. If the, if the season ended in the listener league last week, you're in the playoffs.

[Jason Moore]

So I'm like what is my job this week?

[Andy Holloway]

You just got to go to and.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, just go to. We got the median in there. I just need to go to.

[Andy Holloway]

Did you go two and oh, easily. Boom.

[Jason Moore]

Playoffs, playoffs. Except not.

[Mike Wright]

Huh?

[Jason Moore]

Except not because somebody behind me scored like more points than the system allows.

[Andy Holloway]

In reasonable, like an unreasonable amount.

[Jason Moore]

Passed me in points because we had the Same record. So now I'm sweating it tonight. I think I need. I still got a good shot.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay, what's your situation?

[Jason Moore]

I need one of the teams ahead of me went, oh, and two, and so they're going to tie me in record. And they did not score many points.

[Andy Holloway]

That makes sense.

[Jason Moore]

So they need lad McConkey to score, like, 17.

[Andy Holloway]

So you're anti Lad.

[Jason Moore]

I'm anti Lad tonight.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay.

[Jason Moore]

And then I think we'll all three be. We'll be three of the six spots in the Listener League playoffs.

[Andy Holloway]

That gives people. If one of us is the champ, then that's a whole nother spot open and available for next year's Listener League.

[Jason Moore]

That's it. That's it right there. And I think, Jason, you're in kind of a fight in one of our leagues trying to grab that last spot. There were, like, eight or nine teams at seven and six or six and seven in this league. The most parody ever.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. The.

[Jason Moore]

The.

[Andy Holloway]

The league we play with Rich Eisen. That is the weird. The whole season, like, all of the league was tied. Everyone's record felt like the exact same. I'm like, my team is really, really good.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

And I'm the same record as half the people in the playoffs, but I don't think I will get there in that one.

[Mike Wright]

If people want to join us in rooting against Rich Eisenhower.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, yeah.

[Jason Moore]

Look.

[Mike Wright]

Simultaneously great friend and arch nemesis.

[Andy Holloway]

Terrible man of the show. Just the worst.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, wait, we're going. We're going personal.

[Mike Wright]

Because we love Eisen.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

We can do this. I have Huge and AJ Brown, and they will be facing off against Ladd. So Andy's Anti lady and I have my two guys versus lad. It's just a heads up whoever scores more points will win.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, and it'll bounce him from the playoffs if he.

[Mike Wright]

If Lad does not outscore those two.

[Andy Holloway]

Guys, then I can't get in the playoffs if Eisen's in. Right. So I need you to boot him so I can get in. All right.

[Jason Moore]

So we're all really anti Lad tonight. Sounds so your little Lad is.

[Mike Wright]

That hurts.

[Andy Holloway]

My little bitty.

[Mike Wright]

That hurts.

[Jason Moore]

We have our reactions to the week, and there were some injuries that are going to have ramifications into the fantasy playoffs.

[Mike Wright]

Dude, I was having such a good morning. I totally forgot about. Yeah, I had wiped those out.

[Jason Moore]

Genuinely. Is it worse right now to be a Cardinals fan where we know, like, we're so used to living inside of the poop.

[Mike Wright]

Right.

[Jason Moore]

That we don't smell it anymore?

[Andy Holloway]

If you Live on the farm.

[Jason Moore]

There is no scent, there's no smell. Or is it worse to be so a Cardinals fan with no hope and the worst coach and all of this.

[Andy Holloway]

I know where you're going and it's way more.

[Jason Moore]

Is it worse to be a Colts fan?

[Andy Holloway]

It is not fair to Colts fans. It is the worst, most brutal. You were.

[Jason Moore]

Let's trade for sauce because we're going to try to close out this maybe bye week type of team.

[Andy Holloway]

Trade two first for Sauce. Not just to close it out and be a bi week team, but to be a legitimate super bowl contender, not a playoff team. Oh, we can make the playoffs. This is. We might finish the year hoisting the trophy. And now I genuinely do not believe they make the playoffs. I don't. I don't think they. I don't see.

[Jason Moore]

They are the eighth.

[Andy Holloway]

So they're not in the playoffs and they're not going to be better.

[Jason Moore]

The tiebreaker. Houston has the tiebreaker.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, man.

[Jason Moore]

The team's ahead of them. Los Angeles. Tonight's a big game for Los Angeles.

[Mike Wright]

And for those who didn't hear, Daniel Jones tore his Achilles.

[Andy Holloway]

So he done for the year.

[Mike Wright]

The situation is done for a year. Really. It's insane because Daniel Jones was on a one year.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. He's a free agent.

[Mike Wright]

They trade two first rounds because they know that we're going to lock up Daniel Jones as our franchise quarterback. The dude has no more money left. He just tore his Achilles. It's. It takes time to come back from that. Do you they'll pay. Will you that that's what it will come down to.

[Andy Holloway]

I think they'll franchise him. Maybe.

[Jason Moore]

I think they'll pay him.

[Andy Holloway]

That would make sense. Now that being said, it's tough for.

[Mike Wright]

Like for the ownership, for the team, for the fans. You're in such a weird, hard position.

[Andy Holloway]

The funny thing is he is a complete and open free agent, meaning if they don't franchise him, he can go out. And when you say they'll pay him, if I'm Daniel Jones, I'm taking the money. I don't know how I'm coming back from an Achilles injury. I test the whole market, not just Indy, and I go, hey, every team that needs a quarterback. Because he just showcased himself, you know.

[Jason Moore]

A franchise would make sense. But it's also like, how soon are you going to be back? Is it going to be weeks into the season?

[Andy Holloway]

It is. The current timeline estimation is that he could potentially be ready for week one.

[Jason Moore]

The hardest part about that is one he part of his special sauce is running the football. So coming back from an Achilles injury and able to run is. It's a tall task. Now, Kirk Cousins got a big check after his Achilles injury.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. But he was also much older.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, that's what I mean. Like, he got a big check. Much older.

[Mike Wright]

What? That was.

[Jason Moore]

No, I know, I know. Achilles. You don't want to mess around with that.

[Andy Holloway]

Right.

[Mike Wright]

I would say the. Daniel Jones has made money. Like, do not. Do not forget he was a first round pick. So automatically he's made a good amount of cash. Then he got that extension with the Giants that was like, real.

[Andy Holloway]

So you're saying he doesn't have to take the bag?

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, he doesn't have to go get the biggest bag because he's.

[Andy Holloway]

I think he'll be back with the Colts. I think the Colts want him. He loves being a part of a franchise that wants him.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, you. You had another win by New Orleans this week, which Tyler Schuck is playing well.

[Andy Holloway]

He's looking good.

[Jason Moore]

I'm looking at the standings, like the big. I think one of the big changes this week to me is just the landscape of that top quarterback spot where. Look, I already. I don't think Tennessee in any realm takes a quarterback. But now Las Vegas has a worse record than Cleveland does and is tied with the Titans. So Las Vegas could end up with potentially the number one pick in the draft. They desperately need a quarterback, but they.

[Mike Wright]

Don'T have the number one right now.

[Andy Holloway]

No, the Giants have the number one.

[Mike Wright]

Like, if it's not going to be my Arizona Cardinals having their pick of whoever. I want it to be the Giants. I really do. I want the Giants to have the first overall pick. Get just a haul.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, to move back.

[Mike Wright]

To move back. You've got your move back.

[Andy Holloway]

Get a crazy offensive lineman at like 5 with a hall of picks and be awesome.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. You have a franchise quarterback, you have a number one wide receiver, you have a starting top tier running back. Like, you have. And then you have some other ancillary pieces that are like, good. Wanda and Slayton with neighbors. Yeah, like, that's. That is good.

[Andy Holloway]

They're made to be twos and threes.

[Jason Moore]

What's funny?

[Mike Wright]

They could turn around so fast.

[Jason Moore]

They have the. They have three or four games at home to finish the season against four teams with not without raining.

[Mike Wright]

They play Vegas, too. Yeah, that's going. That are the Tank. Tank bowl or whatever we call it.

[Jason Moore]

The Dung Bowl. I think we're going with Dung Bowl.

[Andy Holloway]

Dung bowl.

[Mike Wright]

That'll be it.

[Andy Holloway]

And Cleveland who? You know, because two of those picks, Tennessee probably won't take that quarterback. The Giants don't need a quarterback, assuming that Dart doesn't kill himself on the field this year.

[Jason Moore]

Right.

[Andy Holloway]

Cleveland obviously does not need a quarterback now.

[Jason Moore]

Right.

[Mike Wright]

By the end of the year, they may not.

[Jason Moore]

They shouldn't be talking about desean Watson coming back and setting the table for that for us. If they were looking at a quarterback. I mean, Shador went has 46 fantasy points.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, he.

[Jason Moore]

It was.

[Mike Wright]

It was simultaneously like a great game for Sanders, and yet I saw, like, the time of, like, he was holding the ball so long and.

[Jason Moore]

Stop backing up.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, yeah. Mike said this forever. He's.

[Jason Moore]

Stop it. Someone put a wall behind him. He has to move. Just come up in the pocket.

[Andy Holloway]

Ever. Ever once seen him step up in the pocket. He has stepped up to run. Like, if pressure's there and he escapes and goes forward, fine.

[Jason Moore]

Stop backing up.

[Andy Holloway]

Outside of that, he's never once just taken that two steps forward in the pocket in his life, including college.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. And he's still. I mean, still a lot better than what they've had.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

So we'll see.

[Mike Wright]

I hope he's great.

[Jason Moore]

I think it'll be fun for all my sports cards. All right, we're getting into Monday punday. You submitted them. We're going to read them in a sophisticated way.

[Andy Holloway]

News.

[Jason Moore]

We'll start with the good. And this was part of the Shador game. Harold Manning Jr. Oh, yeah, Harold.

[Andy Holloway]

Fantastic.

[Mike Wright]

What about Bazooka Nagua?

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, baby. Or Puka Nuclear?

[Andy Holloway]

Oh. How about my start of the week? Michael Thrillson.

[Jason Moore]

He's so good.

[Mike Wright]

That must. That situation has to be investigated. What is happening there for malpractice? We got Frico Collins and Christmas Watson.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, baby.

[Andy Holloway]

I'll take the boom boom. Here. Brandon Dory.

[Jason Moore]

He's really good.

[Mike Wright]

Me and bcat got to the playoffs because of Brandon Aubrey on one of our Doggree. Doggree.

[Andy Holloway]

Sorry.

[Mike Wright]

Blake Scorum.

[Jason Moore]

I was hoping I wouldn't get stuck with this one. I coramba.

[Andy Holloway]

I coramba. Yeah. Shedure Santa.

[Mike Wright]

What?

[Andy Holloway]

It's the season, Mike.

[Jason Moore]

It is.

[Andy Holloway]

We're jamming them in season for terrible.

[Mike Wright]

How about Tony? Holla. Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

I faced Tony Pollard this week. That was great. We had some bad. And was it. I mean, it was real bad last night with Travis D. Kelsey.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. Which caused a hat trick. Mahomes.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Three.

[Mike Wright]

Three picks trashed in Genti. That's so mean.

[Jason Moore]

Disgusting. Jefferson.

[Andy Holloway]

That's their jamar waist.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, man.

[Mike Wright]

Breeze hall of Shame.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, and then this guy that can't catch now Egg Puka. Yeah. Mecca Fluka.

Raining. It was wide open.

[Jason Moore]

I know.

[Mike Wright]

Kenneth Walker, the Turd Fart Andrews, Chris Nolaw and Darren Squalor.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, I think, I mean, a lot of expectations this week.

[Andy Holloway]

Squat.

[Jason Moore]

You can submit your Monday pundays at Fantasy footballers on Instagram, on X. At the footballers.

[Andy Holloway]

That one is. Look, if it wasn't close to Christmas, it wouldn't have made the list.

[Jason Moore]

I hope that's not a June one.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, I would only accept that on Christmas Day.

[Jason Moore]

Okay. That's rough, that one. I deleted a couple others. That was some of the best. We're getting into the news.

[Andy Holloway]

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

Breaking news. Emeka Ibuka has forgotten how to catch the ball.

Now, I don't know if you guys know his line. I'm sure everyone in the world has seen his.

Awesome route. Just.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, yeah, he left the defense, nukes.

[Andy Holloway]

A guy to get wide open in the end zone and then gets a lobbed pass and then is like, I don't know how to catch.

[Jason Moore]

It did.

[Mike Wright]

In all fairness to Abuka, it hit him directly in the hands, right?

[Andy Holloway]

So it's like maybe that was hard.

[Mike Wright]

Not just. Maybe they needed.

[Andy Holloway]

Because all those amazing catches he made at the beginning of the year that were difficult. Maybe when Baker sees him, he's got to throw it a little away from him, like make it difficult.

[Jason Moore]

I'm like, I have to defend him. Wait, this is how I feel now.

[Andy Holloway]

How many targets do you think Abu had if you wasn't a lob?

[Jason Moore]

I just watched it. It's not a lob.

[Mike Wright]

If you were crushing Chris Olave for two weeks ago, not catching that bomb pass. You need to put Ebuka into Davy Jones locker.

[Andy Holloway]

Abuka had nine targets way easier. Nine targets, nine.

[Mike Wright]

That's a easier catch.

[Jason Moore]

I'm looking at this thing, man.

[Andy Holloway]

That's a drop of all drops.

[Jason Moore]

It is so not.

[Mike Wright]

That was a warm up.

[Andy Holloway]

All right, well, how about the rest? Because he caught two of his nine.

[Jason Moore]

Well, this has been the problem.

[Andy Holloway]

He caught two of his nine.

[Jason Moore]

This has been the problem.

[Andy Holloway]

Yards. He should have had an amazing game.

[Jason Moore]

That's the story of the last eight weeks. There's no defense.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, it's so weird because this guy, I mean, I love him. He was my favorite wide receiver coming out this year. He was a my guy. Off to a hot start. Has the hamstring injury in week seven. And then you turned off the faucet at that point.

[Mike Wright]

I would Go talk to whoever my friend is in my dynasty league and just crap all over a book and.

[Andy Holloway]

Be like, I'll take him off.

[Mike Wright]

Let me do you a solid.

[Andy Holloway]

I hate when people crap on someone and then they try to trade for him. Like, dude, I see right through you.

[Jason Moore]

What's been really wild is we saw the catch percentage with him, but like not bury the lead here. Like they lost to the Saints. Like, this is the division leader. Like Baker was an MVP candidate. And then it's really fallen apart for the entire offense. Like Baker in and of himself has been more inaccurate, more mistakes. The team can't move the offense. I mean, look at this. They have Godwin back, they lose to the Saints, they can't get enough points on the board.

[Andy Holloway]

The Saints are playing well. I don't think that the Saints defense look like a two or three win team. They're.

[Mike Wright]

They're.

[Jason Moore]

It is what they are, though.

[Andy Holloway]

No, I know, but they, they also started the majority of the season. They, you know, they were with the Rattler and for.

[Mike Wright]

To talk about Baker. I know like, things were kind of rough before the injury, but it's reminding me like in Cleveland, where I think it was. Was it year two or year three? I can't remember where. I mean, he was just beat up. He had a. One shoulder that was just annihilated. But because he's so tough, he plays through it. He plays through it and then you're like, well, you're not very good and if you didn't play well, you're a baby. He's in a. In a tough situation.

[Jason Moore]

Breaking news. Egbuca went gloves first quarter, no gloves second quarter.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, man.

[Jason Moore]

I would gloves back on in the fourth quarter.

[Andy Holloway]

You got to go double glove.

[Mike Wright]

No, I was going mj.

[Andy Holloway]

Did he have just the one glove?

[Jason Moore]

Did he have a. I was thinking.

[Andy Holloway]

What was the situation like? Glove two gloves on each other.

[Jason Moore]

Fourth quarter. Was gloves dumb.

[Andy Holloway]

A dumber style, like make your hands sweat.

[Jason Moore]

By the way, Baker, how many times in the last seven weeks has he thrown more than one touchdown pass in.

[Andy Holloway]

The last seven weeks?

[Jason Moore]

Seven weeks, once. One time.

[Andy Holloway]

That makes sense because there's one good game for a buck. He keeps throwing to a bucka. He's like, catch the ball, dude. Ibuka in the last.

[Jason Moore]

It wasn't just him. Godwin dropped a wide open touchdown last week.

[Andy Holloway]

Ibuka in the last eight games. So that's like half a season.

[Jason Moore]

I was hoping we'd never talk about him today. Sorry.

[Andy Holloway]

Half a season of Ebuka on pace.

[Jason Moore]

This Is the new session.

[Andy Holloway]

This is the breaking news. Half the season, eight games played. He is on pace for 153 targets. You can't ask for more than that. 60 catches.

[Mike Wright]

What?

[Andy Holloway]

40% catch rate?

[Mike Wright]

I can't remember.

[Jason Moore]

Well, he was catching everything in the beginning.

[Andy Holloway]

He has great hands. I mean, you can't really say that.

[Mike Wright]

Now, but someone tweeted it out. I can't like.

[Jason Moore]

But it really was raining.

[Andy Holloway]

It was raining, yes, for the last eight days.

[Mike Wright]

But it was like a book of. On the week was the number one most expected fantasy points.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. He had the whole world oyster and there was no pearl in that.

[Jason Moore]

We'll have to make decisions because. Yeah, that's. That's where they are. Where'd you think they came from?

[Mike Wright]

Clams.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, there we go.

[Mike Wright]

Do oysters do pearls too?

[Jason Moore]

No, oysters are where we come from.

[Mike Wright]

We are sounding real dumb right now.

[Andy Holloway]

Do pearls come from oysters?

[Jason Moore]

This is the dumbest thing.

[Andy Holloway]

Yes, pearls come from oysters.

[Mike Wright]

Of course.

[Jason Moore]

Well, I don't know, man. It's raining in here. We can't get our.

[Andy Holloway]

Also, pearls can come from clams as well.

[Mike Wright]

What else? Where else can you have?

[Andy Holloway]

I don't know.

[Mike Wright]

Give me some more pearl making animals.

[Jason Moore]

That come from crickets. Mussels.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, mussels, mussels. Mussels can have pearls. That's what it says, dude. DK Metcalf has.

[Jason Moore]

I knew where it was going. Justin Herbert officially questionable but expected to play. Hampton's going to be activated off IR for tonight's game.

[Andy Holloway]

Let's go. Hampton, I need you. I need a big game.

[Jason Moore]

I saw people say Vidal or Hampton. If you needed a few point, like if you needed 10 points, who would you play?

[Mike Wright]

I'm going down with Hampton.

[Jason Moore]

I would go down. That's exactly my quote.

[Mike Wright]

I go down with Hampton, I will be Jack Sparrow. Just on that. On that ship going down, like if it goes into the ocean. Yeah, that's where we go to. We go together.

[Jason Moore]

We talked about Daniel Jones tearing his Achilles. This is devastating because if you. If you look at the Colts, they're fighting for their playoff lives. Anthony Richardson's on ir. He. He had fractured his. An orbital bone.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. With I believe, an exercise band.

[Jason Moore]

An exercise band in warmups of a Cardinals game.

[Mike Wright]

Something like that.

[Jason Moore]

Riley Leonard is the quarterback now who was a six round pick out of Notre Dame. It is terrifying for Jonathan Taylor managers. It is terrifying for Alec Pierce managers. It's terrifying for Michael Pittman managers. Yeah, it is bad for all. It's bad for Tyler Warren managers.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, for sure. What if you have Jonathan Taylor and Michael Pittman and heading into the playoffs as an underdog. Heading into the playoffs as an underdog.

[Mike Wright]

We obviously for a friend, it was like half a game or whatever, but Riley Leonard really hyper targeted Michael Pittman.

[Andy Holloway]

No, no, no. I know he had 34% target share in the past tips from Riley Leonard. That' all fine and dandy, but if you. I mean, we were watching the game. That game, by that time was such a blowout. The Colts were manhandled by the Jaguars. And so at the end of the game, I was watching those getting those juicy, stanky garbage points from Michael Pittman, but it was just a. It was like he'd take the snap, the defense drops back like 30 yards, and then he'd throw it six yards to Michael Pittman over and over and over.

[Jason Moore]

Sure.

[Andy Holloway]

That's just not.

[Mike Wright]

I mean, I got to give you some hope.

[Jason Moore]

But that's not the neutral situation.

[Mike Wright]

Exactly.

[Jason Moore]

No, it's terrible. Jaden Daniels also got hurt again.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, man.

[Jason Moore]

If you remember, my prize picks was the switch from Mario to Jaden. If they had Both combined for 200 points, would you have given me credit?

[Andy Holloway]

Did they?

[Jason Moore]

No. Then yes.

[Andy Holloway]

Then yes, I would have.

[Jason Moore]

It was terrible. And again, this injury.

We'Ve at least seen Mariota a lot, but it's not what you want.

[Andy Holloway]

Now the good news is it appears that the game was kind of out of hand. They got seasons out of hand, and so they didn't put Daniels back in the game. But it was said that they basically could have. That I think was a pain issue, not a re injury issue. So hopefully he's back next week. But it's also one of those things where it's like, it's very difficult to be like, why is he playing football? This team has three wins. There's very little play for. And he's obviously still dealing with an injured arm. I wouldn't want him in that situation. Now, in that same game, there was a real injury, a sad injury, a brutal injury, but we should have seen it coming.

[Jason Moore]

What do you mean you should have seen it coming?

[Andy Holloway]

Because of Mike.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, stop.

[Andy Holloway]

Mike's magical season, man.

[Mike Wright]

I did not want Ertz going out like that.

[Andy Holloway]

I know you don't, but you want. You want the senator.

[Mike Wright]

I want an opportunity for him.

[Andy Holloway]

And all of a sudden, your magical season, you got it.

[Mike Wright]

How dare you accuse me of dark magic.

[Jason Moore]

You do realize, I don't know if you've realized it. It's like shot for shot. What happened to Trey McBride.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, yeah.

[Jason Moore]

I mean, it's.

[Andy Holloway]

We were talking about it.

[Jason Moore]

It's a torn ACL for the same guy ahead of him in Zach Ertz. Zach Ertz is second torn acl. And you know, Jack Ertz has had an amazing career.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

I feel terrible for him if this is the way it ends, because it probably is. But that's just creepy.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, yeah. It's almost identical. And so that. That means that Ben Sennett out of nowhere is going to be like the tight end one for the final month of the season.

[Jason Moore]

Please do not quote me on that.

[Andy Holloway]

No, I quote. Quote Mike on that.

[Mike Wright]

I didn't say anything. I know.

[Andy Holloway]

Quote him. He said it with his heart.

[Jason Moore]

He's trying to be upstanding over there. Geno Smith left early.

[Mike Wright]

I'm so excited for Ben Sinning.

[Andy Holloway]

Push the button.

[Mike Wright]

I don't even know what button to push.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, my God, dude.

[Mike Wright]

I forgot I had a button. I am.

[Jason Moore]

That's because he had to. No, that doesn't feel good after the arts injury.

[Mike Wright]

No, that's what I'm saying. Put that on me.

[Andy Holloway]

Dare you.

[Jason Moore]

Mike Benson is not doing nothing.

[Andy Holloway]

No, probably not.

[Jason Moore]

Geno Smith left with a right shoulder injury.

[Andy Holloway]

Bates. Bates is going to go.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. Pete Carroll.

[Mike Wright]

Pete Carroll.

[Jason Moore]

Pete Carroll is one and done. Pete.

[Mike Wright]

Carol, what were you up to?

[Andy Holloway]

Is this the field goal?

[Mike Wright]

What were you up to, Pete?

[Jason Moore]

I cannot find any. Like, I like playing devil's advocate. I like finding the argument for the other side of things. If you didn't see it, they're down 10 points. They throw the ball down the field with 5 seconds left. The coat. The referees call a penalty. So there's two seconds left on the clock after a penalty. They're down 10 and they kicked a field goal.

[Mike Wright]

To think it was a couple more seconds than two.

[Jason Moore]

It was to end the game, right? Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

But yeah, time ran out.

[Jason Moore]

Time was going to run out.

[Mike Wright]

They thought somehow they would kick a.

[Jason Moore]

Field goal while time runs out and.

[Mike Wright]

What?

[Jason Moore]

No.

[Mike Wright]

And you have one second left and then recover the onside and score the touchdown.

[Jason Moore]

Is that what they described it as?

[Mike Wright]

No, that's. That's the only way I can think of them.

[Jason Moore]

The line was eight and a half.

[Andy Holloway]

I can tell you. I can tell you genuinely the Devils have.

[Mike Wright]

What are you up to?

[Andy Holloway]

The devil's advocate story is easy to me if I am the head coach and I know that the line is eight and a half. This isn't a betting thing. Like, I have bet, but I want. I want to cover the spread. I wanted to. I want to cover that spread just so I'm kicking the field goal. It's literally to cover the spread.

[Jason Moore]

That is 100% a betting thing. And as a coach, you should never pay attention to any of that stuff ever.

[Mike Wright]

It was Peter. I mean, Peter. Peter. I mean, it's like I've. I've done this in Madden.

Where you're.

[Andy Holloway]

Like, not in the NFL.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. Like the game is over. You're like, yeah, but I lost by less.

[Jason Moore]

Mafia was like unlimited bubble gum forever.

[Mike Wright]

I mean, Peter, Peter. It was weird.

[Jason Moore]

Pete to Rod Taylor, as always injured and the team will play the guy that's best for the team in the future weeks.

[Mike Wright]

Well, Justin Fields was inactive with a knee injury and I can't even remember the guy who played Cook.

[Jason Moore]

Is that right?

What's his name?

[Mike Wright]

Brady Cook.

[Jason Moore]

Brady Cook, quarterback at Missouri. Let him Cook. Yeah. Okay. Garrett Wilson is eligible to come off of IR this week. If I were him, I would say.

[Mike Wright]

No, thanks, I'm good. What are you. I am not eligible.

[Jason Moore]

Just sign here to come off ir.

[Andy Holloway]

No, I would go. I would be like, yeah. Heck yeah, man. Let me go out there. I'm going to take a.

Sorry, guys.

[Jason Moore]

The Von Hn left early with a rib injury, did not return. Mike McDaniel says he was available to return. I was happy that that wasn't a knee or lower body injury. He seems like he'll be fine.

[Andy Holloway]

He might be able to play with a flak jacket and McDaniel said that he will. He said, I like something along the lines of, I promise he will be there if he's ready. I'm following this closely because I play against HN next week, so. Also he love Buddy Take.

[Jason Moore]

That's the team you're playing in our league of record.

[Mike Wright]

It is.

[Jason Moore]

You're playing against Gibbs and Josh and.

[Andy Holloway]

Josh Allen and HN and I lost, basically Jonathan Taylor, Michael Pittman and CD Lamb. So see you guys on the fishing hole.

I'll be out by the side if.

[Mike Wright]

He wanted to go boat.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

If you want, you should fishing. You should call your shot and start driving before the game. Before the games start. Just start driving wherever the fish are.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Give my fishing pole, my fishing rod.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, my gosh. You're asking us how to fish. Keaton Mitchell left with the knee injury. He had a big run. DK Metcalf powered down. Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

I don't know if you guys out there saw the run. It was Keaton. It's Keaton Mitchell, whose calling card is speed, speed.

[Andy Holloway]

Fastest guy.

[Mike Wright]

And he Broke to the outside and got caught because he like.

[Jason Moore]

Did you see the college play that happened last?

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, my gosh.

[Mike Wright]

I showed Mike where he.

[Jason Moore]

Where a guy's wide open. There's no one in front of him for. And he's got like a defender six yards behind him, and he's just got the sideline to run up and he's at about the 30. Just runs out of bounds. Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

And the commentators like, no one's gonna catch this guy. He ran out of bounds. What did he do?

[Jason Moore]

There was no momentum.

[Andy Holloway]

No. He just chose to like, left turn left. I want to end this play.

[Jason Moore]

It was so.

[Andy Holloway]

I've never seen anything like that.

[Jason Moore]

DK Metcalf stayed overnight in Baltimore after going to a local hospital following the game, experiencing stomach pains. We haven't heard anything else.

[Mike Wright]

The stomach pains were.

He got target volume and he didn't know what to do with it.

[Jason Moore]

Let me just say this.

[Mike Wright]

DK Metcalf dominated.

[Jason Moore]

Assuming he's perfectly healthy and jokes are allowed. It's skittles.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, it's definitely skittles.

[Jason Moore]

David Najoku left early with a left knee injury. Harold man in junior. Boy, he's a great player.

[Andy Holloway]

He is.

[Jason Moore]

That's the player I would be targeting heavily in dynasty leagues because I still feel like his true value is not. The value is now.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, yeah. David Najoku. I mean, even. Even. We'll talk about it tomorrow on the waiver show. But, like, Joku caught a touchdown, went down with an injury Fan and rest of season is a great play.

[Jason Moore]

Najoku is a free agent.

[Andy Holloway]

No, I don't think so. I think he's got a contract.

[Mike Wright]

I'll check that out. But I went and did some diving.

[Jason Moore]

He's a free age.

[Mike Wright]

Because if. If you. If you out there did not see. Looked like Mason Taylor possibly maybe broke a tackle on a.

[Jason Moore]

You're saying it didn't count as one.

[Mike Wright]

And so I was like, man, I want to see what the graders did. So it's like PFF fantasy points. I went and I checked that out. They did not give Mason Taylor the. The. The. For the missed tackle force or however they want to credit. But at the top of that list, Harold Fannin. This is PFF's great.

Harold Fannin is credit. I mean, it's also like juking people and things like that. It's. It's forcing a misstab.

[Jason Moore]

So he's probably just got a few more.

[Mike Wright]

He's at 20.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, my.

[Mike Wright]

Trey McBride is second with 13. Harold Fannin has 20 and McBride does.

[Jason Moore]

It all the time.

[Mike Wright]

And by the way, Colston Loveland has more than Tyler Warren with two fewer games. Just want to. You mean just want to throw that out.

[Jason Moore]

You mean Colston Dog.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, the. The dog commentary.

[Jason Moore]

All right, week 14. Let's talk studs.

[Andy Holloway]

This week's fantasy stud muffins presented by Lowe's.

[Jason Moore]

Well, the fantasy playoffs are here and they're those of you with Josh Allen. You're hoping you get this. Josh Allen, he was unbelievable. Number one on the week. Shador Sanders, number two.

[Mike Wright]

Guys, I was at the. The big dome meeting last night. We took a beating.

[Jason Moore]

You did. You did.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I was there. I was there. It was.

[Mike Wright]

It was tough.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

We were all very much coping with the situation. Yeah. This is of the majestic snow game that gave us a bajillion points.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. Two of the top three players during.

[Andy Holloway]

This, I was like, this is.

[Jason Moore]

This is bad for you.

[Andy Holloway]

This is bad for business.

This game is beautiful. Yeah, it's awesome. Quarterbacks playing out of their mind. I mean, and the aesthetic was wonderful. Gorgeous, man. What a great game. It was awesome. I was like, this sucks, man. This is terrible.

[Jason Moore]

It's perfect timing. After I said, you need. You need a good snow game, man.

[Andy Holloway]

We got one.

[Mike Wright]

We got one. Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

And you got two of the three top scorers.

[Mike Wright]

Quarterback we got in the Cleveland game. As gross as it was, that one had points, too.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. Shedeurs. Number two on the week, burrow three, Stafford, who just played with his food in Arizona. And Sam Darnold at 5. And Sam Darnold looked like they were doing nothing. Halfway through.

[Mike Wright]

Through the first half of that game, I was. The concern was.

[Jason Moore]

And then the Falcons defender turned their helmets on backwards.

[Mike Wright]

It was growing of like you had a week where the Minnesota Vikings showed the NFL. This is how you stop jsn. This is how you stop Sam Darwin.

[Jason Moore]

Exactly what I was thinking.

[Mike Wright]

We know. We know how. Why do you think we let him go? Because we know that you do this one thing and you can stop him. And then a whole half of the Falcons doing it and then they didn't. Yeah. I mean, it kicked off with a Rashid Shahid return teams.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

But then JSN just went crazy.

[Jason Moore]

So. Yeah. This is New England next week for Josh Allen. So you're in New England next week.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, man.

[Jason Moore]

With a divisional battle.

[Andy Holloway]

Jer Gummett.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, you're super thrilled about that.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, man. Congrats to those of you with Josh Allen. My condolences to those playing against him.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, I am. Out in New England, he only scored 19 points against them in week five. Just for what it's worth. But this one's going to be worth a lot in this division. He is the first quarterback ever with three seasons of 20 plus passing touchdowns and 10 plus rushing touchdowns and nine for 78 on the ground, including what like a 45 yard run right up the middle. He's beaten Mahomes this year. He's beaten Lamar, he's beaten Burrow. Let me just tell you, in case you don't know, Joshua, it's now. The time is now. This is your super bowl run. The Chiefs have a 14% chance to make the playoffs. I don't think they're going to make the playoffs. You don't have to go through Mahomes or Lamar. You got to go through Bo Nicks.

[Mike Wright]

No, you got to go through Drake.

[Jason Moore]

You got to go through Drake May.

[Andy Holloway]

It's funny, you're going to go through those guys. You say this season he's excellent. This season he's beaten Mahomes, Lamar and Burrows. Like, okay, well beat good teams. You know what I mean?

[Mike Wright]

Like okay, okay, note here, but somehow he lost to Michael Penix Tua and Davis Mills.

[Jason Moore]

It doesn't matter in the playoffs, in the play. This is your time, Josh. Please don't miss it. The Suns. The Suns had a chance to go to the finals twice when Jordan was retired. And they let Hakeem Olajuwon do it instead of you. This is your time.

[Andy Holloway]

Don't.

[Jason Moore]

You don't think Mahomes is making it next year. Just go get your title, Buffalo. And to the, to the Denver fans and the New England fans. You got enough time. You guys are young.

[Mike Wright]

I agree.

[Jason Moore]

No, I think Buffalo is definitely good enough.

[Mike Wright]

I think that it is their time. I'm on Jason's side of. I don't know.

[Andy Holloway]

They just. They've had so many games this year where they haven't shown up, especially on the road.

[Jason Moore]

I think it's time. I would put all my money on them making the Super Bowl.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay.

[Jason Moore]

I'm really. I think they'll take advantage of it. And the nice thing is their head coach, the defensive football in the playoffs. I think they're built for this.

[Andy Holloway]

But you know that they don't get to throw to the tight end every play against non Cincinnati Bengals opponents.

[Jason Moore]

They will have to Throw to one of those whiteouts.

[Andy Holloway]

Mike's start of the week was the.

[Mike Wright]

Whoever was starting for the Bills.

[Andy Holloway]

The Bills tight ends.

[Jason Moore]

And they both scored.

[Andy Holloway]

Not just both. Three of them scored.

[Jason Moore]

That's right. Jackson Haas scored.

[Andy Holloway]

Every play was a throw to a tight end. The Bengals can't guard tight ends. It's wild.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, I guess Dawson Knox technically didn't score. He just went six for 93. Dawson and a two point conversion.

[Mike Wright]

Dawson Knox had 93 yards.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Dawson Knox.

[Mike Wright]

That's embarrassing.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, that's like a career. And that's the end of the sentence.

[Mike Wright]

Yep.

[Jason Moore]

For him. Chador Sanders. 364 and three. And then they inexplicably took him off the field for the two point conversion so that Quinshon Judkins would forget to pitch it and look like he was playing street ball.

[Mike Wright]

That was frustrating. I loved it. They did the analytical. You're down by 14. You score. So you go for two because you have a 50. The analytics are you have about a 50% chance of getting the two. So should you not get it the first time, you still have a good chance to get it and tie it the next time.

[Jason Moore]

And they got neither.

[Andy Holloway]

And you're.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, they didn't get either of them. I mean, you're playing to win. I love that. But then the play call on the second one. What was that?

[Jason Moore]

Rookie quarterbacks with 350 passing yards, three passing touchdowns and a rushing touchdown in a game. So all time. This is from NFL and cbs. Joe Burrow.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

Shador Sanders.

[Mike Wright]

Nice. Wow.

Keep it going.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. Joe Burrow was 284 and four. He played great. Except for two plays back to back.

[Andy Holloway]

Near the end of the game.

[Jason Moore]

It was just unbelievable. One of them was real, real bad. Like Jason when we played flag football.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, yeah.

[Jason Moore]

My buddy, his dream was to knock the ball down or actually just catch it out of the air.

[Andy Holloway]

Straight catch and just run as a D lineman. Like catch it right next to the quarterback and keep running.

[Jason Moore]

So Burrow basically kills their season. They basically have no hope of making the playoffs now. I don't know if they're technically. They are not.

[Andy Holloway]

They are not.

[Jason Moore]

They probably in the division.

[Andy Holloway]

The fact that Baltimore lost. The fact that Baltimore lost. They are still in it. It's wild.

[Jason Moore]

They need just to win the division.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. They need to beat the Ravens and.

[Andy Holloway]

They need who they play this week.

[Mike Wright]

They need Pittsburgh to lose two. I don't think they need the Steelers to lose every.

[Jason Moore]

So you could be sub 500 win in that division.

[Mike Wright]

Yes.

[Jason Moore]

Matthew Stafford Jason start of the week 281 and three. Could have thrown for five more if he wanted to.

[Andy Holloway]

He was bored probably Lions this week. That's going to be a fun game.

[Jason Moore]

Sam Darnold got it going after a slow start. Three touchdown passes. Tyler Shuck, Mike Streamer on Tuesday. Two rushing touchdowns. Dog.

[Andy Holloway]

And how many yards?

[Jason Moore]

Oh, on the ground?

[Mike Wright]

55. And this wasn't just scrambling. I mean like they're running read options with Tyler Schuck and he's picking up huge yardage. His touchdown run was on a read option. It.

Maybe. Maybe.

[Jason Moore]

I see Lamar in here.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. He had. Because he had a. He had a fine game.

[Jason Moore]

Do you feel like he had a.

[Andy Holloway]

Good game by comparison of what you have been experiencing? He had the best game of his career.

[Jason Moore]

Did he have a. Did he have a game worthy of.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I mean I was. If you started him, you were happy that you. That you have him in your lineup. He had a rushing touchdown, a passing touchdown, 43 rushing yards.

[Mike Wright]

Had to.

[Jason Moore]

Likely touchdown. Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. So I think he was fine. And yeah. I mean I said it this week that I would still play Lamar over most of the second tier guys next week in Cincinnati. I will do the same.

[Jason Moore]

J.J. mcCarthy 16 for 23. 163 and 3. Do you feel like he did what he was supposed to do? That he outperformed what you expected?

[Andy Holloway]

He did.

[Jason Moore]

He did not provide fantasy value for Justin Jefferson.

[Andy Holloway]

Exactly what the Vikings needed. They needed to put him in a situation in positions to be successful. All the. All the touchdowns went to the tight end to tight ends because one. One was Hawkinson. But it was. At least it lets Vikings, not just fans, the staff just breathe.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

It lets them just like be able to. Be able to have some oxygen and be like. Okay, let's. Let's see if we can do this.

[Jason Moore]

Jacoby Brissette garbage. Timed it. I don't know if we want to.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, that was. That was stinky garbage.

[Jason Moore]

Shoe. 71 and 2. Got it done for you. Both of them going to Wilson running back Top five scores of the week. There's some here. Here's what it is. There's Jameer Gibbs. He is looking like. Especially with the Josh Jonathan Taylor situation. Man, Gibbs looks like the best running back in football right now.

[Andy Holloway]

Plays the Rams this week.

[Jason Moore]

That'll be tough. Okay. You. Because you know that.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. Hasn't he. He's been fluctuating like zero or three touchdowns. Right.

[Jason Moore]

Jason has already painted his path to the semifinals.

[Andy Holloway]

I need. I need some.

[Jason Moore]

The number Two and number three scores were the two running backs I faced in league of records.

[Andy Holloway]

That's what.

[Mike Wright]

That's impossible.

[Andy Holloway]

That is impossible. There's no way that you face.

[Jason Moore]

You must.

[Andy Holloway]

Tony Pollard and Blake Corum and they both went off the number two. That's your so okay Foot clan.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

This has been a bad year for Andy.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

You sold halfway through the season and invested for next year. We're a keeper league, yada, yada. But we played.

[Mike Wright]

Good decision.

[Jason Moore]

Yes, it was.

[Andy Holloway]

We play in about like four main leagues and like eight leagues total. You know, four we don't care about.

[Mike Wright]

Way too many.

[Andy Holloway]

You are in. If not every single one. If not every single one.

[Jason Moore]

Paying penance.

[Andy Holloway]

Almost every single. I think there might be one where you're like the second most points scored against you.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Every league you are the most points scored against you.

[Jason Moore]

It's. It's amazing. And this by the way, my opponent this week was one of the worst teams in the league. They scored the most.

[Andy Holloway]

They played Tony Pollard and Blake Corum.

[Jason Moore]

Who went number two and three on the week.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, he went number two on you.

[Andy Holloway]

I need to stay away from Andy.

[Jason Moore]

I did the math in one of the leagues and it amounts to like, it's like 20 something points a week more scored against me than like oh.

[Mike Wright]

Above expectation than your own.

[Jason Moore]

So like I start with a minus 20 every week. It's. I just had to laugh at this point. Travis ETN, number four, got into the end zone twice. RJ Harvey at 19. There you go.

[Andy Holloway]

He's coming on strong.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. So yeah, I'm looking at the numbers here. Tony Pollard was started in only 25% of league as that was like 25% too many.

[Mike Wright]

Those are.

[Jason Moore]

It's Cleveland. Go to Cleveland, start Tony Pollard and it works. No, we shouldn't have jobs.

[Mike Wright]

Neither should the Cleveland defense. Yeah, like how does that happen?

[Jason Moore]

Devon HM was great. Got knocked out early. Only had eight touches and still ends up dominating.

[Mike Wright]

He's so good.

[Jason Moore]

He is so good.

[Andy Holloway]

Seven carries for 92 yards.

[Jason Moore]

I mean if you look at his game log for the entire year, his worst fantasy finishes of the year. I'm going to read the five worst running back, 13, 16, 16, 17. 17. Otherwise he's top 10.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. And what is his fewest half PPR points in a single game all year? His worst. Worst of the worst is 11.3 points. When I see double digits from my player, you're not always happy. But I'm fine. I'm not upset. I'm like, okay, have you seen his.

[Jason Moore]

Consistency ranking on our site.

[Andy Holloway]

I mean it's an A.

[Jason Moore]

It's an A. But you know what the percentage is? It's 94.1%.

[Andy Holloway]

That's outrageous.

[Jason Moore]

That is games exceeding 10.5 in the last 17 played.

[Mike Wright]

He's going to improve on that.

[Jason Moore]

Two starts of the week did well. Chase Brown scored.

[Mike Wright]

Thank goodness for those touchdowns through the.

[Jason Moore]

Air and on the ground. And then Devin Neal.

[Andy Holloway]

There's a lot of P Rine.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, it really has. Since P. Ryan's been back. It has been a decent amount and.

It was even closer. It felt like it was closer last week or on Sunday I think I'm assuming because of the conditions of the game.

[Jason Moore]

Devin Neal, 19 for 70 and a touchdown.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, baby.

[Jason Moore]

And then pay attention here because Nick Chubb got hurt. Not that the work wasn't all going his way But Woody marks 26 opportunities on the ground. This is a defensive first team that is going to lean on the running game. Woody Marks got some big first downs at the end of the game when everybody knew they were running.

[Andy Holloway]

The football plays the Cardinals and the Raiders the next two weeks.

[Jason Moore]

He is a delicious, really, really good start.

[Andy Holloway]

As a reminder, Blake Corum running back to against the Cardinals.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wide receivers Puka, Michael Wilson, JSNT Higgins, Christian Watson.

Puka is just unbelievable.

[Mike Wright]

If they let Puka score touchdowns. He's the number one wide receiver on the week.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I mean well, you're talking about a guy who is currently the number two wide receiver on the year without them. So I mean he's, he's unstoppable. And Christian Watson.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, let's talk about Christian Watson. He's got Denver next week, then Chicago both on the road. But he has been so important not just to fantasy players but to Jordan Love.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. I mean since he's been back, you look at the last month, you know he's been relevant every single week. 5 targets, 7 targets, 10 targets. This last week was his worst target count.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Because with only four targets but he had 82 yards and two touchdowns. He's used around the goal line. He is such an athletic like this team really needed him because they spent a first round draft pick on a third round which was a mistake. But Christian Watson is good.

[Jason Moore]

Do you feel good about Jordan Love in the fantasy playoffs? He's got no four touchdowns last week, three this week you did not feel good. He's been a top 12 three out of four years.

[Mike Wright]

Very, very well.

[Jason Moore]

I'm just thinking Jaden Reed's back. Christian Watson is Dominating. They have weapons now again.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I mean his consistency rating is still an F 29% of his. Well, that I realize now.

[Jason Moore]

He's 17 weeks now he's talking about right now weapons.

[Andy Holloway]

But if you're talking right now he plays Denver in Denver in the fantasy playoffs.

[Jason Moore]

I don't know, man.

[Andy Holloway]

I would be hard pressed to. I wouldn't want to go into my fantasy playoffs with my quarterback playing against Denver unless he's like Josh Allen.

[Jason Moore]

Okay. Ryan Flournoy. If CD Lamb misses this week, 13 targets, nine for 115, he could be worth a shot against Minnesota. But that'd be a scary start.

[Mike Wright]

A backup option situation and that's a tough defense.

[Jason Moore]

DK Metcalf and Zay Flowers, who.

[Mike Wright]

Where has this been?

[Jason Moore]

You had to start both of these guys and they both had their best.

[Mike Wright]

Weeks of the year.

[Jason Moore]

Really.

[Mike Wright]

I've been starting these guys all year long. Where has this been.

This week?

[Andy Holloway]

Didn't matter. You're basically on a buy, a pre buy buy week because you're already locked up in the buy and then get it out of the way Now Metcalf.

[Mike Wright]

And flowers, 12 targets for DK Metcalf is like.

Where has this been? This is you. This is what you traded for. This is what you paid him for. Why did it take until week 14 to surpass a double digit targets in one single game?

[Jason Moore]

This turned into a passing affair and Zay Flowers ended up with 11 targets on the other side, eight for 124.

[Mike Wright]

Gotta hope that it continues. Will it?

[Jason Moore]

Tight ends on the week. Harold Phantom was number one, Gasicki two Josh Oliver.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, two touchdowns will do that.

[Jason Moore]

Dawson Knox. Rock Bowers.

[Mike Wright]

Dawson Knox.

[Jason Moore]

You know, Bowers was the most disappointing 12 points of your life because it was the first drive of the game, a long touchdown and then you're like, oh baby, here comes 30. And it was. That was basically it. Because that team is so bad.

[Mike Wright]

They are very bad.

[Jason Moore]

4 for 46 and 1. And then Kyle Pitts 6 for 90 brought him up. He was a start of the week. Last week he had 82 yards. This week he had 90 yards. No Drake London just makes it really accessible for him to be relevant.

[Mike Wright]

If London is back next week, I would probably bail out.

[Andy Holloway]

I agree.

[Jason Moore]

And then.

[Andy Holloway]

But Loveland Colson Loveland, who got in the end zone, didn't have a big game, 4 for 29 but got a touchdown. It is worth noting like if Rome is out there is fantasy value to be had there. Because the issue with the Bears has been just they're spreading it around too much with Burden and Loveland and Rome and, you know, in DJ Moore now. I think Rome's going to miss a couple of weeks.

[Jason Moore]

All right, well, Loveland was 4 for 29 and 1 over the last six weeks. He is the tight end. Three in total. Fantasy points. Wow. Let's take a break and talk duds.

What's going on? Foot Clan. Running a business? Well, that's complicated. I mean, especially when you have to hire guys like Al Borland and Papa Josh.

[Andy Holloway]

Pooped in his big boy pants.

[Jason Moore]

Well.

Houston has a really tremendous defense. Did you guys. Were you aware of that?

[Andy Holloway]

They have not given up a quarterback one performance on the year. They've played Josh Allen. Now they've played Patrick Mahomes. I said I would play Mahomes in this matchup.

[Jason Moore]

In hindsight, would you?

[Andy Holloway]

I would not. In hindsight, I would certainly not play my home.

[Jason Moore]

163 picks, no touchdowns. But don't throw them away because they're going to be fighting for their playoff lives. And they play Tennessee in two weeks. They play two more home games. The Chargers in Denver.

[Mike Wright]

That Denver game is.

[Jason Moore]

The Denver game's tough. Yeah. But I think in the next couple of weeks you could do worse.

[Andy Holloway]

For sure. Oh, man. You know, the whole. An immovable force versus unstoppable. Yeah, whatever. Yeah. You realize that next week there is a team playing that has not given up a top 12 performance for the quarterback against a team who has a quarterback that has not not finished in the top 12 all season. Not, not, not, not. Who's there? So. So we're back every time, man.

[Mike Wright]

I love it.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

So tell us the matches.

[Andy Holloway]

Jacoby Brissette. Playable. The guy who can't.

[Jason Moore]

I was against Houston.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. Gets. No, no, no.

[Jason Moore]

This will be the end of this streak. He Cardinals are garbage. Cardinals are playing like tryout dudes at wide receiver right now. People that have never. Like, their jerseys are blank on the back. They don't have the names.

[Andy Holloway]

That's just magic Mark we could have.

[Jason Moore]

Given it says player. The Cardinal season is so over and I have to restrain myself from what I say on this show about the Cardinals.

[Mike Wright]

Leave them, Leave them.

[Jason Moore]

Who cares? Let me just say this. I.

Would love it if Jonathan Gannon wanted to be an astronaut because I would love to see him in outer space.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, it'd be cool if he was the first, like, astronaut.

[Jason Moore]

Do you like that?

[Andy Holloway]

To land on the sun.

[Jason Moore]

You know, the first astronaut to explore the sun. I'm just saying I would like him to have that honor.

[Andy Holloway]

Yes. So that we can explore the universe. Remember him fondly.

[Jason Moore]

Spacesuit option.

[Mike Wright]

What a hero.

[Andy Holloway]

What a hero. He touched the sun.

Jonathan. Icarus. Gannon.

[Jason Moore]

I. There was a Greek mythology joke.

[Mike Wright]

The.

Admit it. There was a part of you that thought we were waking up to the big surprise. You know you didn't. I thought there was a chance we were waking up and Gannon was gone. Oh, I thought there was an app.

[Jason Moore]

You mean because he's a defensive minded head coach and we've given up 40 plus points to division mates for like five times this year, but we've never did that five times in 23 years.

[Mike Wright]

Yesterday's performance, I thought there's a chance.

[Andy Holloway]

It's not really fair to Gannon because they invested their entire draft class on the defensive side of the ball.

[Jason Moore]

I. It could happen today, Mike. I still think it could happen.

[Mike Wright]

It could.

[Jason Moore]

It could happen. Bo Nicks, 31.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, that 31 for 38.

[Jason Moore]

Bo Nix. No touchdowns. It's the most bonus dominant, dominant performance of all time.

[Mike Wright]

This dude's so weird. He is 31 of 38. Like, that's a. That's a good game.

[Jason Moore]

He just feels like the guy and. Excuse me, Denver, I know you're amazing and you're 11 and 2 and you deserve all the credit. Sort of, but.

[Mike Wright]

Sort of the team does. No, I know they do, but maybe not Bo Nicks.

[Jason Moore]

It just feels like there's like five cool dies cool guys walking down the street and then Bo Nicks is in the cool guy outfit. That's what it feels like to me.

[Mike Wright]

Okay.

[Jason Moore]

He wears the leather jacket and the sunglasses, but if he tried to smoke a cigarette, he would choke. Do you know what I mean?

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I got you.

[Jason Moore]

I need to stop making analogies. Today, Baker Mayfield struggled big time. 122 passing yards. You can say all you want about a buka and he struggled, but 122 total passing yards, that's insane because seven.

[Andy Holloway]

Uncaught targets to Buka. He needs to just start throwing it to Tez.

[Jason Moore]

Well, that you can't catch every target, Jay. And if you watch this game, you'd understand that there was some nastiness in there.

[Mike Wright]

Tyler Shuck played well.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, but what did he throw for? Under. Under 200 as well. Yeah, it's crazy.

[Mike Wright]

That game more than Baker.

[Jason Moore]

That game was rainy.

[Andy Holloway]

That was. It was a very bad weather game. It was our one feather in the cap of our dome. Big dome.

[Mike Wright]

Their stat lines are actually very, very close. Except Baker didn't have two rushing touchdowns.

[Jason Moore]

Disappointing running backs. Are you worried about any of them? Breeze, Hall, Ashton, Genty, Quinch on Judkins, Kenneth Walker. I'm not going to put Chris Rodriguez. Rodriguez was great.

[Mike Wright]

No. 10 for 52 against Minnesota with that one.

[Jason Moore]

Doesn't make sense.

[Mike Wright]

Well, I want. What was the schedule? What's his upcoming schedule? Don't do that.

[Jason Moore]

Giants.

[Mike Wright]

Okay.

[Andy Holloway]

84 yards for quinch on junk. Judkins junkins was not. Quinch on junk was not that bad. The one. The one I'm worried about right now is probably Breece hall simply because we're going to the fantasy playoffs. I don't know that they have a quarterback very similar to like Jonathan Taylor. Like, we. Losing Daniel Jones hurts him tremendously. You're going to put 11 guys in the box and just be like, all we got to do is stop him. And Breece Hall's like the last man standing. And even if he gets 20 opportunities, don't know if it's enough. He plays in Jacksonville. Against Jacksonville. Very good defense.

[Mike Wright]

So how does John Doe come in at quarterback and not throw the ball to Breeze Hall?

[Andy Holloway]

Because you get the ball and you go, I'm scared.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, that's why. And I'd be terrified. And Breeze hall is awesome.

[Andy Holloway]

It might be better. It might be better in the target game when you're not coming in midway through a game unexpected. Give him some practice. Give him, you know, a strategy of checking down to.

[Jason Moore]

We should be worried about Ashton Genty. He plays Philly and Houston on the road the next two weeks.

[Mike Wright]

You should be very worried.

[Jason Moore]

And you don't even know of his. Gino, could it get worse? Yeah, it can get worse than giving. Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

For everyone who always, like, get that quarterback out of here.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. We have a.

[Andy Holloway]

We have.

[Jason Moore]

Minnesota has a story for you. His name is Max Brosmer.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, man. Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

Big names in the wide receiver duds, by the way. Jamar Chase.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

T. Higgins. Justin Jefferson. Buka crushed Jefferson in production. Crushed him 2 for 15 versus 2 for 11.

[Mike Wright]

I mean, like Jamar Chase. No, I'm not concerned in the.

[Jason Moore]

If you played Chase Jefferson, a book in your lineup this week, I want to see the screenshot at Andy Holloway on Twitter because you must have felt really good going into the week.

[Mike Wright]

So, Justin Jefferson against Dallas this upcoming week in your fantasy football playoffs. Can you do it?

[Jason Moore]

You can? Should you? I don't think so.

[Mike Wright]

Okay. I'm using the. Okay, mister.

[Jason Moore]

Well, no, I mean, look, I don't know.

[Mike Wright]

Can you.

[Jason Moore]

I thought you could this week. I thought you could this week.

[Mike Wright]

That's what I mean. So it's Dallas, and I think the Dallas defense.

[Jason Moore]

Dallas is my worst.

[Mike Wright]

They might be a little bit better.

[Jason Moore]

Than Washington but not the passing defense they're defending of quarterbacks and wide receivers is still. And no matter what category you break it down to, even recent weeks they've struggled. I think they've never not given up points above expectation to quarterbacks unless they did this past week.

[Mike Wright]

Justin Jefferson will be the scariest start of everything. Makes sense. Nine just had like I think his first complete game. Even though if and if you watch it, I mean there's so many times where you're just, you're screaming at the television that game. How do you not see the wide open wide receiver?

[Jason Moore]

The reason I would do it, I'm going to officially say I would do it. The reason I would do it is because this was Minnesota defensively dominated the football game. They had multiple interceptions, turnovers, short fields. McCarthy had to do stuff for about a quarter and a half. That's really all he ever had to do. Dallas is going to score a million points. They always do. They're going to compete.

[Andy Holloway]

Hopefully. I don't think we'll have a lot of Justin Jefferson questions next week.

[Jason Moore]

Not because of the number one question.

[Andy Holloway]

But you have to keep in mind you have to be in the playoffs. Yeah. So if you had Justin Jefferson, that part is true. You probably don't have any questions because your season is done. I mean that's just the truth. You've been starting him and he's been.

[Jason Moore]

Just l L Junk.

[Andy Holloway]

Quinton junk. It's oh real quick to get back to Ashton Jensen because you were talking about this. You said you're worried about him. Whatever. Tough schedule coming up. I just was. Look, Ash and Genti, first round, top of the first round. Rookie running back or seventh round pick Kyle Manungai.

[Mike Wright]

Oh man.

[Andy Holloway]

Rushing yards on the season, 665 to 648. Manangai has 17 fewer yards than Ash and Genty on the season right now.

[Jason Moore]

Where's Woody Marks?

[Andy Holloway]

Woody Marks is right there. Woody Marks is 554 on rushing yards but obviously he didn't really get the work until recently.

[Jason Moore]

You just named two playoff teams and that is not what Las Vegas Travion Henderson 625.

[Andy Holloway]

He's right there. Didn't play the first half of the year.

[Mike Wright]

You have to have your offensive line in place before you draft a top 10 running back.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jason Moore]

Well said.

[Andy Holloway]

Proven.

[Mike Wright]

It's like well said sometimes it will work for you. There's exceptions to every rule but that.

[Jason Moore]

If you build your offensive line you can succeed with a fifth round running back. That is also.

[Mike Wright]

That's when you go to the running backs don't matter. But it's like if you put Ashton Genty behind a superstar offensive line, he would dominate and he would be better.

[Jason Moore]

Than Manungai and Marks.

[Mike Wright]

Yes, into the same.

[Jason Moore]

In the same situation. But when you don't have it at all, you can't expect it to solve your running game. Drafting a really good running back. Devonte Adams, worst fantasy game of the year, 4 for 29. He was not targeted inside the five, but he did have two back to back end zone targets on the first drive of the game and they somehow didn't work. I'm not worried about it. George Pickens. We saw the Thursday night effort. It wasn't great. Chris Olave, three for 30.

Surprising.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, it was disappointing. That was that rainy weather game. So whatever.

[Jason Moore]

I mean 4 for 34 dropped a.

[Mike Wright]

I mean it's the whole one. It was the whole Chiefs. I think Kareem Hunt got a touchdown. Right. They just, they could not handle the Houston defense.

[Andy Holloway]

They were down. Their offensive line was.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, yeah. They lost their left in the first play of the game.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. And when you came in with offensive line struggles, then you lose your tackle and you're playing the Texans. That is tough sledding.

[Jason Moore]

Kelsey. Mark Andrews, Tyler Warren, just two for 15. Oh, little worried about this quarterback situation for Tyler Warren in the playoffs.

That's, that's Papa Josh and Falcon, right? Tyler Warren, Are you worried about that, Falcon? Yes. Thanks.

[Andy Holloway]

Would you rather have Tyler Warren or Mark Andrews next week at Cincinnati? Mark Andrews.

[Jason Moore]

Let me ask you one more follow up. Would you rather have Blake Corum, this week's number two finisher or the guy you have, Kyron Williams?

[Mike Wright]

Probably Corum, I mean.

[Andy Holloway]

No, no.

[Jason Moore]

I was actually thinking about this. It's Kyron. Kyron is the answer. But they've said they're going to conserve him for the playoffs. But Corum, the NFL playoffs, the next three weeks are fantasy playoffs.

[Mike Wright]

I do wonder, didn't Corum have the huge run at the end of the game?

[Andy Holloway]

Monster run.

[Mike Wright]

No, I know, I know he was involved.

[Jason Moore]

He was dominating before that.

[Mike Wright]

But it's like the. That so much of your production is one carry when it was already in the blowout.

[Jason Moore]

It wasn't.

[Mike Wright]

What was that touchdown run?

[Andy Holloway]

I mean 48 yards.

[Mike Wright]

A 48 yard touchdown.

[Andy Holloway]

48 yard touchdown.

[Jason Moore]

He had 120. He had 128 yards and two rushing touchdowns. And he got. I mean he still only had 33%.

[Andy Holloway]

Kyren was still great. Kyron was top 10 running back on the week. And then they blew him out. And then Corum got more work. So.

[Jason Moore]

It just freaks me out for fantasy playoffs that any snaps go to Blake Cor. Sure. That's all. Because he's been really good.

There you go. Tight ends, though, those are disappointing. Darren Waller, three targets, one for 13. They.

[Mike Wright]

That one was a ball.

[Jason Moore]

They were dominating this game on the ground again.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, man. And it's funny you brought up Ollie Gordon.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

As your backup option.

[Mike Wright]

He did.

[Andy Holloway]

He was totally fine.

[Jason Moore]

But it was Jalen Wright.

[Andy Holloway]

Jalen Wright who really dominated the touchdown. I think he had over 20 carries and they just ran all. All over them.

[Mike Wright]

I mean, it was Jalen Wright, currently the running back. Five on the week, 24 for 107 with a score.

[Andy Holloway]

Breaking news.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, that's fair.

[Jason Moore]

Not normally breaking news, but on this show, on this day when the playoffs.

[Mike Wright]

Are on the line, CD Lamb.

[Andy Holloway]
