3. Big News & Injury Fallout (11:20 – 18:42)

• DK Metcalf Incident: Uncertainty about disciplinary consequences after the altercation with a fan. Consensus: a suspension would be warranted.

  • “No Lamar, no Mahomes is the most likely outcome.” (Jason, 14:35)
• Unpredictable playoff picture: Many preseason favorites (Ravens, Chiefs, Lions) likely missing the postseason.

4. Coaches’ Decisions & Their Fallout (16:06 – 18:42)

Running Backs (31:15 – 34:47)

• Baker Mayfield: Remarkable season-long collapse; now “Candlelight Mayfield.”

Running Backs (52:35 – 57:32)

  • “He fumbled on the goal line and didn't really see the field anymore...” (Jason, 53:41)
  • “You don't get to say you don't know. You're in charge!” (Mike, 54:08)
• Other letdowns: Bucky Irving, R. Johnson, Chuba Hubbard, David Montgomery, among others.

Wide Receivers & Tight Ends (57:35 – 62:59)

[Andy Holloway]

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

[Jason Moore]

Welcome in. The Fantasy Footballers Podcast. If you're watching on YouTube, we're focused on one camera right now and it is the camera of a man who is dead.

[Andy Holloway]

Well, I have no soul. It was taken from me by Mike Wright, the fantasy hitman.

[Jason Moore]

So did he end up winning?

[Andy Holloway]

Let me check in on what I need. I've got Jonathan Taylor. So that is pretty cool. And my team did fairly well. You know, it's. They, you know, they showed up, obviously, Josh Jacobs, that, that sucked. Got five points there. But I just need doing some quick math here. Jonathan Taylor needs to outscore Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle by 60. So Mike went nuke. I mean, Mike just like, he really, what happened? Whipped me like a rented mule and he took some anger out.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, your day went from. Because you talk a lot of pessimism all the time. It's a coping mechanism. I'm sure your doctors have talked to you about that.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, many times.

[Jason Moore]

And so you had been like last Week you thought you were going to lose last week and then you won last week and then this week you said you were going to lose to Mike, but in your heart.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, in my heart.

[Jason Moore]

In your heart you thought, what if I win a championship?

[Andy Holloway]

Well, in the beginning of the day things were going bad well for both of us.

[Jason Moore]

Dak was a little better than Burrow to start the day.

[Andy Holloway]

Dak got off to a good start. Burrow got off to a good start. We're just going to be a fight.

[Jason Moore]

And then, and then everything changed. I think when Chase Brown like Jake Paul. Oh, you did. You broke your jaw in two places. Yeah, yeah. You the Chase Brown stack with Burrow twice right in your face.

[Andy Holloway]

Here's the truth.

[Jason Moore]

Jason went home about right then.

[Andy Holloway]

Here's. Here's the truth. Mike had the most magical weekend humanly possible.

[Jason Moore]

It really was. I don't know what happened.

[Andy Holloway]

Faced Mike.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Mike is in almost every championship that matters to us. There's a couple. The listener league right now you've got a little bit.

[Mike Wright]

The magic of the listener league didn't completely come through.

[Jason Moore]

No, because you had a concussion of.

[Mike Wright]

Trejo in that I should have easily won against. Currently we are the top two projected totals. So I mean that's how it's got to go.

[Jason Moore]

We have another league where it was like my one saving grace. That'll be the title game. I'm easily in. I have Puka, James Cook, Devon Achan.

[Mike Wright]

I stopped checking on that.

[Jason Moore]

Mike stopped checking on it. And then all of a sudden we see Jaylen Warren go for a 45 year touchdown. And I think to myself, I think I'm playing Warren someplace and I go and look and it's against Mike. But I'm like, whatever. I'm still at one point in the middle of the morning, I'm projected to win by 70, 65 points. And then I was like, oh my gosh, Jaylen Warren. And then he did it again.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, Jalen Warren was.

[Jason Moore]

And that's not pretty good. I mean, the way Jason feels isn't even as bad as the way Al Borland feels because I'm going to the Doosers alley right now. Oh, man, Al Borland is wearing. And let me be clear, Alborn is the biggest Packer fan on the planet. We had a Christmas party on Saturday night. He had a bet. Apparently, I learned five minutes ago, he had a bet with Jake, the biggest Bears fan on the planet. And well, the Bears came back in a miraculous fashion. I, at one point after the ending of the game I glanced outside my backyard and saw a grown man throwing his cheese head into my pool umbrella. That man was Al Borland, who is now wearing a Brian Erlacher jersey, I believe, with Jay Grizz back behind him. And.

[Mike Wright]

And you got a bear's mug.

[Andy Holloway]

Bears mug. How are you feeling?

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, how are you doing? It's. It's not my best day.

[Mike Wright]

DUB AIRS hey, there it is. There it is.

[Jason Moore]

He's got some contractual obligations this morning.

[Mike Wright]

So it's a man of mine that.

[Andy Holloway]

Makes me feel happy because suffering around you, misery loves company. I am miserable. And it makes me very happy, Jeremy, to see you be miserable. How does that make you feel?

[Jason Moore]

Slightly better.

[Andy Holloway]

Dubbears There it is.

[Jason Moore]

So there is pain. All of our good fortune absorbed by Mike, who is living a good life right now. And we are here to reflect on a semifinal weekend that still has one game left. Still have Philip Rivers on a Monday Night Football evening where Juwan Jennings and Christian McCaffrey and Brock Purdy and George Kittle have relevance tonight. And Jonathan Taylor. So we, we will get into it. We have your reactions from the weekend. Some stuff went really, really sideways. I mean, there were a handful of players that. From out of nowhere. Oh, by the way, the team that Mike's going to beat me with, with Jalen Warren, he also started Quentin Johnston from. From injury to 19 points.

[Mike Wright]

It's the Cowboys.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, I get it, I get it. But he was so, like, not even going to be active and then he was. I just can't take it. But we, we had some players like Trey McBride that everybody counted on that didn't have big weeks. Yeah, we had Jacoby Brissette. Right. The matchup was so perfect and he's under 15 fantasy points. So there were some, some disappointments for sure. We'll reflect on all of that today. Don't forget, we're here all year round. After the season, the footy awards, the truth series will be into the draft and free agency. It all happened so fast. So you can stay with us. YouTube.com the fantasy footballers that is the best way to view dead man in a Bears jersey in Deucers Alley. YouTube.com the fantasy footballers He's a dead.

[Mike Wright]

Man in a Bears jersey who is also in our dynasty finals.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, I'm sure he's very happy about that, but I feel like his skin is crawling to have that jersey on. What if that was sent to his.

[Andy Holloway]

What do you got, what do you got to say? What do you got to say about that chair? I feel like such A traitor to bears.

[Jason Moore]

So there you go.

[Mike Wright]

So like every time we talk to him.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, he has to. He has to throw a debears in there.

[Jason Moore]

Yes. Did you have fun at the Christmas party?

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, good question.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, we kicked some butt at cornhole. We did dub Bears.

[Andy Holloway]

He is going to get.

[Jason Moore]

He's an honorable man, I'll give him that. We we sent the call out on the Twitter sphere for your Monday punday reactions. Strong feelings on a semifinal weekend. So let's start with the good like tremendous Lawrence. Oh my goodness.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Broncos.

[Mike Wright]

Who Puka Nukum Bazooka Nuka James cooked.

[Jason Moore]

And truly Kenneth Greatwell.

[Mike Wright]

Yes.

[Andy Holloway]

Jared Gough. Go off.

[Jason Moore]

Yes, it's Jared. Go off.

[Andy Holloway]

That's a tough one.

[Mike Wright]

Go off.

[Jason Moore]

Jason kind of butchered.

[Andy Holloway]

Trying to make it more like Goff.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, but you ruined the pun.

[Jason Moore]

Jalen scoring Chase Crown and Trace Brown.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

Three touchdowns.

[Andy Holloway]

Smash.

[Mike Wright]

Crap. Ashton.

[Andy Holloway]

Ashton the Plenty and Jason.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

Crystal Love. Hey, hey, hey.

[Jason Moore]

All those olave touchdowns. I knew how happy worthless you would have been if they had mattered. We had some bad like Almond raw stained Brown.

[Mike Wright]

What?

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, and Runaway McBride. Trey McWy. Yeah, Trey McHide.

[Mike Wright]

And we got the combo Jackson Fart Josh Fake Obs.

[Andy Holloway]

Fake London.

[Mike Wright]

Colby Fartkinson.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, that'll work.

[Mike Wright]

Oh man.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, this will cost me a league, Rico. Doubt it.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. Ah, this didn't help me Audric overestimate. No, that's a good one.

[Mike Wright]

And a DKO met caffeine.

[Jason Moore]

What?

[Andy Holloway]

I don't know why the dko but. Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, but what is cafe? I was tracking the whole time and.

[Jason Moore]

Then I think the Y must have gotten thrown in by somebody there.

[Andy Holloway]

Dko.

[Mike Wright]

That's great.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

Well, there you go.

[Mike Wright]

Freaking DK Metcalfe. That guy.

[Jason Moore]

Well, I mean I'm gonna.

[Mike Wright]

I'm gonna more interested in punching fans than playing football.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, I don't know. I'm gonna try not to overdo it on Metcalf not knowing what exactly happened or what exactly was said because I think reports. Some reports this morning came out and said there were racial slurs involved.

[Mike Wright]

I assumed it was about like the worst of the worst.

[Jason Moore]

Not that you should punch him.

[Andy Holloway]

It's just.

[Mike Wright]

And it's the. I mean that the whole situation is unfortunate but also was his fantasy points.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. Yeah, that was. That was intense. We had. We had a lot going on this weekend. Let's talk some news.

[Andy Holloway]

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

[Jason Moore]

All righty. The league is looking at that situation. Monday Night Football updates. We have no Ricky Pierce saw.

[Mike Wright]

I heard on the Metcalf thing that someone was. One of the reporters was covering and saying the precedent is more than likely a fine.

[Andy Holloway]

Really?

[Mike Wright]

Yes.

[Andy Holloway]

Wow.

[Jason Moore]

Is it because he didn't make direct contact? Yeah, but I don't know.

[Mike Wright]

He kind of whiffed. This is what they said that the president, like, of course it could be upgraded to. This might have been pro football talk. I can't remember who was saying it, but it, of course could be upgraded to a game.

[Andy Holloway]

But I would assume a suspension. Hitting a fan is like, that's. That. That's where you've got to set a precedent for the future of, like, it doesn't matter what's said. It doesn't matter if they throw a cup on you.

[Mike Wright]

You. You can't do this. Yeah. I mean, it's. It's just brutal. Like, if the fan hits him, is banned for life.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I would. I'd be. I'd be shocked if.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Well, it's just a fine.

[Jason Moore]

We'll see what happens. Sean McVeigh said Devonte Adams is not expected to play this week.

[Mike Wright]

I thought he was maybe going to play last week.

[Jason Moore]

Lies. McVeigh is the biggest. One of the biggest liar coaches.

[Mike Wright]

It's really.

[Andy Holloway]

We forgive him because he prints fantasy points. So it's like, that's fine. But you cannot take him at his word.

[Mike Wright]

He's really unbecoming. Sean McVeigh.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

Tell the truth.

[Jason Moore]

Super bowl champion liar. That doesn't sound too bad. Quinshon Judkins suffered an ankle fracture in a dislocation very similar to Scatter Boo.

[Andy Holloway]

Bad one. One of those where they don't show the replay and you're sad that you saw it live.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. Jordan Mason left with an injury, didn't return. Aaron Jones, not to be outdone, left.

[Mike Wright]

With an ankle injury, did return that one.

[Jason Moore]

Watch this.

[Mike Wright]

That one was a big bummer of. Both guys were in a great spot, and then both guys were just banged up.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. And then J.J. mcCarthy went out with another injury. X rays negative. 11. MRI on the hand. It might be Max Brosmer next week.

[Mike Wright]

Mm.

[Andy Holloway]

It's weird that the X rays were negative to me, just because he was ruled out so quick. It was like, hey, he's going to locker room. Ruled out rest of the game. It's like, well, he went and got X rays, and then they're like, it's negative. He can't play.

[Jason Moore]

That's one of the Christmas. Christmas Day games. Yeah, it's a. I mean, he's got a. Got some tendons or something ripped up in there. Lamar Jackson exited late in the second quarter with a back injury. And I'm not going to say Mike was facing the Lamar Jackson manager with a negative projection. And then he totally just pulled that out of his butt.

[Andy Holloway]

I don't know what you.

[Jason Moore]

But that's what happened.

[Andy Holloway]

I don't know what you sacrificed. Mike, what kind of.

[Jason Moore]

Do you still have all three? White goat or a three personal problems still.

[Mike Wright]

Okay, one of them's around, but gosh.

[Jason Moore]

You had to sacrifice two.

[Andy Holloway]

He's two championships, guys.

[Mike Wright]

Okay, one per.

[Andy Holloway]

Rules are rules.

[Jason Moore]

I mean. Yeah. So Lamar left and the Ravens are ready to leave the playoffs because let me just stress this again. Josh Allen go in your championship right now because no Lamar, no Mahomes is the most likely outcome.

[Andy Holloway]

I mean, the fact that right now it seems highly likely that the Ravens, the Chiefs and the Lions don't not make the Super Bowl. They're not in the playoffs. Those would have been the three highest, like preseason maybe add the Bills in there. Those four teams were probably the highest picked teams to like, who's your. Who's your favorite super bowl winner? And three of those teams aren't in the playoffs.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, the Lions and Ravens, I think have slim, slim chances if everything went right and they went out and the right teams lose. But they're probably all missing the playoffs right now. The AFC is a Broncos, Patriots, Jaguars, Steelers, Chargers, Bills, Texans, playoffs.

[Andy Holloway]

Josh.

[Jason Moore]

But this is.

[Andy Holloway]

You got to get it done.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, this is, this is either. I mean, if you just look at it and this is what will make it exciting. Right? Like you're either going to have Josh Allen accomplished the dream and the goal or you're going to have a monumental moment for either Bo Nicks, Drake May or Trevor Lawrence. Right. You've got three young quarterbacks that haven't had those. Or Justin Herbert. Right. Or Aaron Rodgers does something that we don't like.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, goodness gracious.

[Jason Moore]

I mean, at least it's a storyline. This is why the NFL is so much better than every league is because I don't know, there's so much can happen with injuries. So much can happen with the. Yeah. Detroit 8% chance to make it. Baltimore 11% chance.

[Mike Wright]

Well, and real quick, just on the Baltimore game, as underdog tweeted it out, Derek Henry had zero touches after putting the Ravens up 24 to 13 with. With 13 minutes left in the game, like inexcusable.

[Andy Holloway]

And I watched Harbaugh, I watched Harbaugh talk about it afterwards and he said in hindsight he wishes he had Henry there. Which is the thing that is frustrating about that is it's. You're the coach, but it isn't hindsight. Yes, it's not hindsight. Everyone watching it live was like, what the heck?

[Mike Wright]

The commentators literally.

[Andy Holloway]

Collinsworth was like, I think the other team's got to be sending a Christmas card to not have Derek Henry on the field. And the excuse from Harbaugh was, well, they were, they were rotating and he was supposed to come back in on that drive, but the drive stopped. But why do you think the drive stopped?

[Mike Wright]

Why are you rotating?

[Andy Holloway]

Why do you think the drive did not continue going? It was because Derek Henry wasn't on the field, you dummies.

[Mike Wright]

Like this. And this is not. This is what I promise. This is not fantasy football related. I got the points I needed from Henry and I'm sure most did. There's probably some teams that are real frustrated. They fell a little short. But like football, what are you like, Derrick Henry is destroying the Patriots.

[Andy Holloway]

They could.

[Mike Wright]

He's getting five yards of carry.

[Andy Holloway]

Stop him. Every play was just easy for him.

[Mike Wright]

So insane, man.

[Andy Holloway]

And then you do two plays.

[Jason Moore]

Well, it's not like their entire season was on the line. Right.

[Andy Holloway]

No, I know. And then it's like as soon as you do a not Derek Henry, it's like, oh, shoot, our driver.

[Jason Moore]

That's what they call it. Yeah, they got a play sheet and there's a side that says Derek Henry. And then they have the not Derek Henry.

[Andy Holloway]

I mean, let's give it to Keaton Mitchell twice on this really important fourth quarter drive.

[Mike Wright]

I mean, just.

[Andy Holloway]

They won't see it coming.

[Jason Moore]

I mean, he should have come out and said, yeah, he twisted his ankle.

[Mike Wright]

As soon as Lamar left the game.

[Jason Moore]

It was, oh, you know, Derek Henry's.

[Mike Wright]

Going to get 30 more touches. And they're like, no, that would be too easy.

[Jason Moore]

Well, I mean, it's 24 to 13. We're going to. A big part of tomorrow's show on waivers is going to be talking about teams with playoff motivations that still, you know, this is the time of year. Playoff motivation. And then the contract incentives for veterans and big time players.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I mean, you're going to see like the Lions. Right. I mean, they're still kind of playing. Yeah, Baltimore too, but it's. We saw with the Chiefs this last week.

[Jason Moore]

Yes, we did. Back on track with the almost upset.

[Andy Holloway]

When those great goodness. When those really great teams, not the average franchise, but the ones that aren't used to being out are out. It's different for them.

[Jason Moore]

Did you see that?

[Andy Holloway]

So Detroit's over.

[Jason Moore]

The only way Detroit makes the playoffs is if they win their final two games and Green Bay loses their final two games.

[Mike Wright]

Well, speaking of that happened, speaking of.

[Jason Moore]

Green Bay, if that happened, how mad would you be?

[Mike Wright]

Al Pretty mad.

[Andy Holloway]

Dub, Bears. Thank you.

[Mike Wright]

Thank you, Jordan. If you missed it, Jordan Love was knocked out with a concussion. And apparently Malik Willis, who is the backup quarterback for Green Bay, is pretty sore from a right shoulder injury suffered in the loss.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh.

[Mike Wright]

Who'S playing quarterback for Green Bay this week?

[Andy Holloway]

And you got the same situation with the Chiefs, Gardner, Minshew.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, Insane.

[Andy Holloway]

Had.

[Mike Wright]

That's. That's insane.

[Andy Holloway]

Looks like a torn acl. I don't think it's confirmed, but that is the fear, which means that's what it's probably going to be.

[Jason Moore]

Do you guys want to yell some more? Pat Bryant knocked out with a car crash. I mean, he got hit so hard. Concussion, neck injury. Went to the hospital, was discharged.

[Mike Wright]

What are you doing? Sean Payton, Bo Nix, your team is down 14 points with how much time was it left? Andy, do you remember? It was like a minute.

[Jason Moore]

There was 30 seconds and they had 90 yards down.

[Mike Wright]

14, 30 seconds.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, right around there.

[Mike Wright]

And you throw Pat Bryant a crosser hospital ball and guess. And he literally ends up in the hospital for. For nothing. For nothing. Now Pat Bryant just on his career now has this massive concussion for literally nothing. Freaking morons. Goodness gracious, man.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. This thing where, like, we try to lose by less is an insult to all the players involved because it's not.

[Mike Wright]

Week two, it's not week three, where you're like, okay, let's get some stuff going. The game is over. Your team is positioning for a playoff run.

[Andy Holloway]

Currently. The.

[Jason Moore]

You know who else could have been hurt on that play? As a number six, Bo Nicks could have been hurt on that play. RJ Harvey could have been hurt on that play.

[Mike Wright]

So idiotic.

[Jason Moore]

Your offensive lineman. It's so interesting. And guess what? After the injury, what did they do? They needed out. Well, I mean, they threw a flat and then nobody tried to do anything.

[Mike Wright]

It's okay. We, the fans understand. There is a minute left and you're down by two touchdowns. It's impossible.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, it was embarrassing.

[Mike Wright]

Just knee it out.

[Jason Moore]

Josh Allen was evaluated for a foot injury. I believe this was the second lowest fantasy production by Josh Allen in his entire career. So you talk about, like, if you went into your semifinal with Josh Allen, Trey McBride, you felt so good. And this is fantasy football. You did everything you could do it won't feel any better today. But you didn't make a mistake. Okay. You just.

[Andy Holloway]

You need.

[Mike Wright]

You need some. You just lost and luck in the place.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, you lost the luck there.

[Jason Moore]

This is funny. Before I get into the studs, I believe that Al Borland technically told one of our told Brooks not to play Josh Allen.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, man.

[Jason Moore]

And to bench him. And he just had incredible foresight. What exactly made you so convicted about that, Al? I'm playing against Brooks this week.

[Mike Wright]

Oh.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Anything else to say, Dub Bears?

[Mike Wright]

Thank you.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, you did win, so congrats on that one. Let's talk Studs.

[Andy Holloway]

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

[Jason Moore]

True contenders.

[Mike Wright]

Goodness.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, for sure.

[Jason Moore]

Trevor Lawrence, number one. What? And I watched. Mike and I were watching this game. I think we were all watching this game. Every play was decisive by Trevor Lawrence. That's the word that I would use the most.

[Mike Wright]

Okay.

[Jason Moore]

Decisive, but also accurate. Good decision making, escapability in the pocket. This is the best defense in football. One of the best defenses. You put up a number one fantasy production week, you win by two scores on the road in Denver. There's nothing more definitive than what Trevor Lawrence did this week with this team. And they, you know, they made the commitment to Jacoby Myers. He has a big role on this team. Britain Strange was great. Mike's start of the week.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

And, you know, I don't know, I just so impressed Trevor Lawrence.

[Mike Wright]

We were, we were kind of like quietly mentioning, you know, when the stretch of good runs were going on, like, are you guys watching Lawrence, like, things somehow. What are we in year what, five? We're in year five. Over halfway through year five and all of a sudden you're like, something has clicked. Trevor Lawrence and this Jags team just, they look fantastic.

[Jason Moore]

He's the quarterback. Four.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

And before the bye week, before the bye week, Trevor Lawrence had appeared in the top 12 for fantasy quarterbacks one time. That through seven games, he was just.

[Jason Moore]

Hot garbage for Fantasy Ransom Updates on the software.

[Andy Holloway]

Well, that's the hope. I see that bi week split for him. And you look at, this is the first year with Liam Cohen, this system figuring it out. And that bye week, he came out, he was 59% accuracy. He was 59% accuracy going into the bi week. First half of the year, he's been up in the mid-60s. Most weeks since then, the yardage hasn't changed, but his quality of passes has really gone up. He was on Pace for 21 touchdowns prior to the bye week. He's on pace for 34 after the bye week. So to me, it's just like the system is clicking.

[Jason Moore]

It's so. I mean, it really is a testament to that head coach. It is Matthew Stafford, Justin Herbert, Joe Burrow, Jared Goff. Those are the rest of the top five scores of the week. You know, Mike, you said in one league you had the borough golf decision to be made.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

It would have been a two and a half point decision for you.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

It wasn't looking that way for Jared Goff. No, I. Goff performance was very much like, pretty shocked.

[Mike Wright]

And Jared Goff was one opi from another touchdown.

[Jason Moore]

What in the world was that last play?

[Mike Wright]

What in the world was that entire last minute of that game? It was Durunk.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. I mean, the games over.

[Mike Wright]

The game ended five times. They're like, nope, there's a penalty.

[Jason Moore]

I still just don't even under. I honestly. Maybe you guys can.

[Mike Wright]

The way the guy called it, the.

[Jason Moore]

Way he announced it.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, man.

[Jason Moore]

Which somebody summarizes.

[Mike Wright]

Basically, like rolled them.

[Jason Moore]

You start with like, hey, there is a touchdown on the field. But also, screw you, no touchdown. That was the announcement.

[Mike Wright]

I loved the ruling on the field was a touchdown. And the crowd goes crazy, you know. But there was a penalty.

[Jason Moore]

You know, the final go. The final sentence was there was no touchdown. You started with there's a touchdown and you ended with there is no touchdown. I.

[Mike Wright]

There's probably protocol. Gotta go where the way that the refs have to say the. You know, say what happened during the play? Not on that one. No. That all goes away.

[Jason Moore]

And you just say inside thoughts.

[Mike Wright]

You say, there was a penalty on the offense. The game is over.

[Andy Holloway]

It's a doctor from arrested development. It's like, he looks like he's not going to make it. Oh, my gosh. No, he just looks like he's sleepy.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, my gosh.

[Andy Holloway]

He's.

[Mike Wright]

He's all left.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, is that the referees getting out of town? Yeah. So look, that game was crazy. And it was super consequential as well. Justin Herbert had a great day against Dallas. We can't be too surprised about that. The Dallas Cowboys allowing the most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks of the last five years. Just kidding. All time.

[Mike Wright]

We thank you for your service.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, they have. They have been. They're the real mvp. You want a footy for best performance of the year?

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

In fantasy, it's Dallas defense.

[Andy Holloway]

They should be up there.

[Jason Moore]

I want them in contention for a vote. I wouldn't mind sending all those guys an award. It's the only one they'll get this year.

[Andy Holloway]

Joe Burrow, do we have any health update on Marcus. Mario. Mariota yet? Because. Oh, I'm sorry. Mariota.

[Mike Wright]

There you go.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

Mariato, we now have like three.

[Andy Holloway]

I know.

[Mike Wright]

I was going back to round.

[Jason Moore]

I was going to draft there that.

[Mike Wright]

Play the Cowboys next week.

[Andy Holloway]

Yes, he does.

[Jason Moore]

I see. I see now I understand. I thought that was just you breaking in for one of your teams in the middle of studs for no reason.

[Andy Holloway]

No, no, it was the Cowboys.

[Jason Moore]

Joe Burrow got it done and then.

[Andy Holloway]

Has Era Zona Joe Burrow got it done and Mike was fine because he like in our league, our scoring, you can. You usually win when you hit 130. That's like a high score. I think I was projected about 130. Got near there. Mike is currently projected for 190. So it was. It didn't. Nothing mattered. You but Joe Burrow didn't play with.

[Mike Wright]

Like a whole quarterback entire fourth quarter.

[Andy Holloway]

It was. It was unbelievable. He did all this damage. It's unfair that he's like not the quarterback. One on the week he was a point or two off.

[Mike Wright]

He would have had probably six touchdowns.

[Andy Holloway]

He was the best quarterback of the week if Miami.

[Mike Wright]

If guys Queenie was.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, it didn't work out.

[Mike Wright]

No, I mean it worked out for him.

[Jason Moore]

We were to read his name in the duds if anybody had started him and if his name didn't already sound you it.

[Mike Wright]

I mean it worked out for McDaniel of the report coming out that morning saying most likely scenario was two is gone. Coach McDaniel will keep his job. They lose, they get a little bit of a better draft pick. It worked out for them.

[Jason Moore]

Drake May finished the job last night. MVP votes.

[Mike Wright]

Heading that direction, man, you need to thank Todd Monkin.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

I'm watching this game. Halfway through you're like, what happens to Drake Mays MVP votes if you lose to Tyler Huntley as you should have? What like can you possibly give that man an mvp?

[Andy Holloway]

It's funny too because I saw a lot of the next highest scorer, Caleb Williams. Both Drake May and Caleb Williams did a lot of their damage really late in that game. Both of those teams were like should have lost right. To the other team's backup quarterback. Yeah. Malik Willis. Like that game was over. They needed an onside kick recovery.

[Mike Wright]

How many have even converted this year?

[Jason Moore]

I think it's like the third one or something.

[Andy Holloway]

So yeah, both of those were pretty crazy. Where they should have lost to backup quarterbacks but they both came back in crazy fashion.

[Jason Moore]

Well, here was. Oh my gosh. I mean Ashton Genti was the number one.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. Sorry everybody.

[Jason Moore]

On the week. Number one.

[Mike Wright]

Oh my goodness.

[Jason Moore]

Against Houston 24 for 128 and one one for 60 and one through the air.

[Mike Wright]

I don't.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. You were cringing when this happened.

[Mike Wright]

That's. Yeah, I apologize. I fall on that sword. I would. If I had Ashton Genti I would.

[Jason Moore]

Have never previous three weeks against tough opponents as well. 9, 4 and 6.

[Andy Holloway]

Andy.

[Mike Wright]

We were going through the scenario of Christian McCaffrey like because I The league where we're facing off. I have McCaffrey and I needed like 14 points and I'm like, what, dude, that game's not over yet. There's, you know. And you said Christian McCaffrey has not hit that threshold once. It was against Houston. Christian McCaffrey, single digits, who is scoring a bajillion points every week against Houston. Even he couldn't get it done. And then Ashton Genti goes out and has goodness.

[Jason Moore]

I think some of our starts at decisions during the week were we did bring up. You know, sometimes you're just choosing talent versus like if you're sitting there going Genti and Chris Rodriguez, you're going to sometimes make the call that just who can. Who's got the special stuff?

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, I just wasn't. I didn't believe that Ash and Genti had the special stuff to get it done this week.

[Jason Moore]

Chase Brown, three touchdowns. Now the RB13 on the year. Jason kind of shook his head because he felt fresh again.

[Andy Holloway]

It did. It did. It was not fun playing. I thought I was playing the. You got Browned Burrow Chase Stack.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Which I was.

[Mike Wright]

And then Samaj P. Ryan had a rushing touchdown.

[Andy Holloway]

But yeah, I know what. But it was really not the Jamar Chase, Joe Burrow Stack. I was playing. It was the Chase Brown, Joe Burrow Stack with the multi touchdowns as you.

[Mike Wright]

Know, the very famous quarterback running back Stack.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, cool. Jalen Warren, 14 for 143.

[Andy Holloway]

And our wounds from Mike Andy, they feel fresh. I think, I do think that every single. Every single person out there who played fantasy football this weekend and lost, I have to believe they all played against Mike. Like that is how. That's how it feels. Because everyone around here who was in anything.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, we're all dead because of one man.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, it's like let's all unite and.

[Jason Moore]

We like him sort of.

[Andy Holloway]

And so I don't know what to root for next week.

[Jason Moore]

Happy but not this happy.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, this. I mean this. This is too much, man.

[Jason Moore]

Is there a depressant that we could give him? Because I know there's antidepressants.

[Mike Wright]

I'm gonna need some anxiety medicine.

[Jason Moore]

You're gonna need a prescription for a depressant. That's all I'm saying. You are cooking, dude. You're fine.

[Andy Holloway]

Last week he slacked. I only want half of them people. Everyone was talking and commiserating about, you know, this was some tough football this last night. And Mike said in Slack, like he lost two years of his life last night or something. And I was from the Weekend. Okay.

[Mike Wright]

From the.

[Andy Holloway]

I was like. From having everything go well, yes, you poor thing.

[Mike Wright]

But here's the thing.

[Andy Holloway]

I won everything.

[Mike Wright]

No, no, no, no, no. During the process of another tough weekend, winning everything.

[Andy Holloway]

There was. There was a few moments of drama before I won.

[Mike Wright]

I did win. But Andy can attest when you left, because I had thoroughly defeated you and I'd moved on to the other matchup. I was. I was unwell for the afternoon games.

[Andy Holloway]

Well, I'm happy to hear it.

[Jason Moore]

But my yacht sank.

[Andy Holloway]

I had to buy a new yacht.

[Jason Moore]

Meh.

[Andy Holloway]

My new one's way bigger.

[Mike Wright]

It's almost too big.

[Andy Holloway]

My yacht's so big, I can't get it out to sea.

[Mike Wright]

It takes 10 minutes to walk around the whole thing.

[Andy Holloway]

You know how much crew I have to have just to. To run my yacht? I like this. I like the.

[Jason Moore]

That's.

[Andy Holloway]

That's.

[Jason Moore]

Mike.

[Andy Holloway]

This is how we have to deal with.

[Jason Moore]

Let us have it.

[Mike Wright]

But I'm not doing that. I said one sentence that it was stressful.

[Andy Holloway]

When you're the. On the losing side, anything. When you and the winners are complaining.

[Jason Moore]

The odds of you being in as many title games is.

[Andy Holloway]

You're in almost impossible.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, my gosh.

[Andy Holloway]

You're in them all.

[Jason Moore]

You definitely sacrificed a goat or something.

[Andy Holloway]

That sheep had no spots.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, yeah.

[Jason Moore]

Thank you. My goodness.

[Andy Holloway]

I like that sheep.

[Mike Wright]

The one I had to kill.

[Andy Holloway]

Poor thing.

[Mike Wright]

I'm sorry, baby.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, my gosh.

[Andy Holloway]

All right, all right. Let's talk about more guys. My cat, Bijon Robinson.

[Jason Moore]

He did bench Kenneth Walker in a matchup that he already had won.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh. Oh, yeah.

[Jason Moore]

So no, he could have had more points.

[Mike Wright]

I did bench Jalen Warren against Jason, too.

[Andy Holloway]

Did you Really?

[Mike Wright]

I played DK. No, you.

[Andy Holloway]

You could have scored 200. Scored over 200.

[Mike Wright]

I could have.

[Andy Holloway]

Goodness gracious. That lamb was awesome.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, man.

[Mike Wright]

He was very plump.

[Jason Moore]

Derek Henry, also Mike's guy in the studs here. 18 for 1, 28 and 2.

[Mike Wright]

Hey, James Cook is in here. I had to play against that.

[Jason Moore]

You know, RJ Harvey put up a big performance. Had a big touchdown. And thank goodness for Papa Josh and his team because they are still on the cusp of losing. But RJ Harvey might have saved the day. Jameer Gibbs.

[Andy Holloway]

This is weird, man.

[Jason Moore]

He had seven carries for two yards. Mike was playing against him, of course.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. So Jameer Gibbs, really a bad performance. But also he ended up with two touchdown or with the 66 yard.

[Mike Wright]

The 13 targets, 10 for 66.

[Andy Holloway]

He was a wide receiver.

[Jason Moore]

A lot of those targets were the prototypical we're losing. Check down, gain a couple yards. Ends up with the touchdown in the last couple minutes. Puka Nakua had the monster week. Chris Olave number two on the week.

[Mike Wright]

I had to play against him.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, yeah, he has been look since Tyler Schuck came on four and three.

[Jason Moore]

Tyler Shuck, Is that who you're talking about?

[Andy Holloway]

Should be 5 and 2 Tyler Shuck.

[Jason Moore]

All other rookie 7 and 33 Tyler Schuck.

[Mike Wright]

I like what I see.

[Andy Holloway]

Six games now Chris Olave has played with Tyler Schuck. His 17 game pace, 164 targets, 104 receptions, 1300 yards and 14 touchdowns. I mean it's, it's. He is. This is like Chris Olave has always been one of my favorite wide receivers as far as talent. Like I just think he's so good he hasn't had that quarterback. Maybe Shuck is the dude that can get him. Get him the ball.

[Jason Moore]

Did you get to watch the Chris Olave comments and press conference after all?

[Andy Holloway]

I did not.

[Jason Moore]

Unbelievable. Great. Listen, you should all go watch. Humanizes all the stuff that look, we, we've been here always through the fantasy lens and your start sit decisions, all the concussions. But he talked, he said, you know, part of one of the quotes from the press conference. I'm sitting here this off season at 24 contemplating retirement.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh wow.

[Jason Moore]

Had to talk to his family, had to talk to everybody. Like and then you go through training camp and then you go through all that but you don't know what it's like to play in a real game again is what he said. You know, it's like you have to go out there and you have the nerves of those first handful of games this year for him after deciding to finally come back and play like he could have retired. He had so many concussions.

[Andy Holloway]

I hope he made the right decision in the, in the fact that I hope it goes well for the rest of his career. And I will say that I see his adjustments, his Tyler Locketing more and more which is so good like for.

[Jason Moore]

Him specifically which for those that don't know, like Tyler Lockett would catch the ball and if he knew he was going to get tackled, he would go down early.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, there was a play this last week. He got open in space in his own. It was fantastic. Caught the ball and there were. He was like in a triangle of three defenders and those defenders were. This ball was already 20 yards down the field. So he had made a great play. Got a first down and these defenders were going to close in on him. But he easily could have got three or four more yards. You know, if he just grabs it and just goes and gets tackled and, and he just laid down right in between those three. The right move to make like genuinely just get up. You, you had a great play. Get up and keep playing football for a career.

[Jason Moore]

It's funny.

[Mike Wright]

We also love the dogs.

[Andy Holloway]

We love the scout. I think it depends on the human and so not with Tyler already been beaten up. Yeah, like so Tyler Lockett is a way undersized guy who played a long career because of how he played. If you're DK Metcalf, if DK Metcalf were to do that and sit down like you're bigger and stronger than these cornerbacks. So it just depends on Chris Olave.

[Mike Wright]

In seven games played with Tyler Schuck as the starting quarterback, his 17 game pace would be 97 receptions, 1300 yards and 12 touchdowns. Yeah, he had and seven games. I mean like it's fun to play the, the extrapolate game. Seven games is not a tiny sample.

[Jason Moore]

In his first 39 career games he only had 10 total touchdowns. He's had eight in his last 15 weeks. He's the wide receiver, six on the season with some hope and optimism around the quarterback. Yeah, I mean Tyler schuck had a 300 yard game. Parker Washington dominated 6 for 145 and one seemed like he was always open making you know the punt return plays after the catch. You know that's, that's his special skill. He's had multiple punt returns this year. But an open field can stop on a dime. I mean he was.

[Andy Holloway]

I can't imagine many people played Parker Washington.

[Jason Moore]

No they didn't but they did play like it's just an interesting thing to me. They're winning by utilizing all of their weapons. Regardless of what we think about them, whether It's Brian Thomas Jr. Like that's the real like long term. I don't understand a world where Brian Thomas Jr. Ever reaches his former view in Jacksonville. It just doesn't make sense to me. You have Travis Hunter, you have just paid Jacoby. You have Brenton Strange healthy like when, when he went nuclear last year. It wasn't all. It wasn't Trevor Lawrence and there was no one left.

[Mike Wright]

Well it was, it was the almond raw saying Brown and I when I going through the analysis of watching of Brian Thomas, you know, reviewing everything, it's like I don't want to make the Amon ra mistake of a guy broke out. Yes. The other targets were gone. So that, that feeds into the narrative. But he was so dominant like Amon Ra was that rookie year. And people weren't sure whether or not to buy in. And if you didn't, you missed out. You missed out on Amon Ra. And it was like, I don't want to miss that. And it seems wrong now.

[Jason Moore]

I think he'll be traded. I don't, I don't see him as a future part of this team because I think he wants to be something this team won't let him be. I think when you have Travis Hunter back and you have Parker, Washington and Strange and Jacoby, he will never like you. If he's got any locker room issues, like sometimes we're inferred. I feel like they would just move him. Yeah, he'll get a high price.

[Mike Wright]

That'll. That'll be the thing. Because it's like. But also he's on a team that's. The Jaguars could win the Super Bowl. I am fully convinced though that this is a legit team, that defense is real. And things have changed for Trevor Lawrence. So it, I mean maybe, maybe the winning will be perfectly fine for Brian Thomas. But I mean for, for the Jags to give him up, they would have to get so much because he's a great player on and they have him very, very cheap.

[Andy Holloway]

If they win a playoff game, which is totally realistic and in the cards if they win a playoff game, I think they bring the whole team back. Everyone's feeling great. They want to go further and further.

[Mike Wright]

It comes down, does Brian Thomas then go diva wide receiver which I don't know that we've seen. He would do that yet. Like I don't know if there's any incidents. I don't remember.

[Jason Moore]

JSN 13 targets 8 for 96 to.

[Mike Wright]

Thursday night in the second half.

[Jason Moore]

D.J. moore with the insanity on Saturday night.

[Mike Wright]

Dude, that was old.

[Jason Moore]

Five for 97 and one.

[Mike Wright]

That touchdown was ridiculous. And the majority of his production.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I mean we.

[Mike Wright]

It was like a 40 year touchdown.

[Andy Holloway]

We started him everywhere. He was like pretty much a must start with the other inactives there. And it felt bad until it felt good. Until all of a sudden it was like what a great game.

[Jason Moore]

Do you remember that was a near mirror identical touchdown to the one he had in Carolina where he took his helmet off.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

Force the extra point to be further away that they missed and then they lost in overtime. Fond diggs. Okay. Nine for 138J one week early.

[Andy Holloway]

Well, I mean it's that contract. He needs that, that yards that that, those, those receptions and that schmoney.

[Jason Moore]

And didn't. Didn't Booty get hurt again?

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, yeah.

[Jason Moore]

I mean they fly on the weirdest.

[Mike Wright]

On the most insane non past interference.

[Andy Holloway]

Nothing to see here. He just tackled them before the ball was there.

[Jason Moore]

Big weeks for Zay Flowers, Cortland Sutton, Romeo Dobbs with the big touchdown from the backup and teteromilling baby. 10 targets 6 or 7 and 1. We'll take a break and I guess we'll commiserate on some of these. Oh, no, we still have.

[Mike Wright]

We got tight ends.

[Jason Moore]

All right, let's do that. First Harold Fannin, 17 and a half loved him this week. Kyle Pitts, great week. 15.2 Back into the end zone. And then Juwan Johnson. I'll throw him out there too. Johnson, just a lot of volume. Nine targets, eight for 89 and they.

[Mike Wright]

Play Tennessee next week. If Devon Vale remains out for the Saints, then Johnson is going to be very interesting for volume.

[Jason Moore]

Elijah Higgins of the Arizona Cardinals, seven for 91.

[Mike Wright]

I'm allowed to be upset about Trey McBride, right?

[Andy Holloway]

Yes, absolutely.

[Jason Moore]

Trey McBride not pictured here. Sorry. That's Elijah Higgins. Spot in the studs.

[Mike Wright]

That was upsetting. So weird to see Elijah Higgins get 7 for 91. It's Elijah Higgins. That has to be his career high.

[Jason Moore]

You know, he looked. He looked kind of good. Yeah. In the open field, like an athlete. I just thought it was kind of wild.

[Andy Holloway]

Cincinnati next week for the tight end position for the Cardinals. If you got through a Trey McBride, which you might not have, you're going to be pretty happy.

[Jason Moore]

Mike is going to win so many titles, so many championships, or he won't be here next week. Because I guess with great.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, you could lose them.

[Jason Moore]

With great opportunity comes great opportunity to be Jim Kelly.

[Mike Wright]

Yes.

[Andy Holloway]

Right.

[Jason Moore]

So you could do that right now. We'll take a break.

[Andy Holloway]

Pooped in his big boy pants.

[Jason Moore]

One good thing that happened to me this week was I'm not the shame anymore.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, you did it.

[Jason Moore]

I broke a streak of. What was it? Six to eight years is what it felt like. That was getting Christmas presented on the show.

[Andy Holloway]

That was your sentence. Yeah. Mike and I are going to have to do a Monday Night Football tiebreaker.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. So I don't. And I don't care who wins. Not even a little bit. Duds. Josh Allen Jackson Dart.

[Mike Wright]

The Allen one. I mean, that is just crushing.

[Jason Moore]

12 for 19, 130, no touchdowns, and.

[Mike Wright]

Then the Jackson dart. I'm not sure what the plan was.

[Jason Moore]

For the dude that was. He passed for 33 yards. Dude.

[Mike Wright]

He only threw the ball 13 times. I mean, they. I can't remember how many runs.

[Andy Holloway]

The first 16.

[Mike Wright]

Was it 16?

[Andy Holloway]

The first 16, there was technically one. That was a play call that he scrambled on, but it was. The first 16 plays were all rushing attempts. It was the weirdest thing. And. And this is a player who obviously the matchup wasn't great against Minnesota, you could see that coming. But, I mean, you look at his starts. 20 points, 15 points. 23, 28, 20, 27, 26, 13, 22, 0. Yeah, he scored zero points. I mean, just.

[Mike Wright]

This was a. Kafka is auditioning for the job. And that was weird. It's really, really weird to me that you, with your. Your franchise. Your franchise qb, you're trying to get him reps. You're like, you need them to see scenarios. And then you go out and you run 16 times in a row in a game. Like, it doesn't matter if you win.

[Jason Moore]

You know that they're the number one pick. Game is next week.

[Mike Wright]

Yes. Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

The Raiders and Giants the Toilet bowl up in Alaska. And whoever loses that game gets the number one pick.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, man. Go Raiders, man.

[Jason Moore]

Jacoby Brissette, hugely disappointing against Atlanta. Had Marvin Harrison back. Couldn't do it.

[Andy Holloway]

Was that the problem?

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, probably.

[Jason Moore]

Also not throwing to Trey McBride was a problem.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, also.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. I mean, you. Jacoby reset, I think was a. I mean, very confident play this week against the.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, he was. For me, I mean, that high over, under, everything looked good. And in the beginning of the game, it was like, okay, this is exactly what we're kind of expecting and hoping for here. Very disappointing this one was. I mean, the fact that he did what he did against Houston last week to pump fake us into the excitement of at home against Atlanta. And then this next week against Cincinnati, if you still have him. Probably a good play, but very disappointing. At least. At least The Cardinals lost.

[Jason Moore]

Quarterback 27. Quarterback 18. Quarterback 19. Quarterback 14. Quarterback 18. That's Baker Mayfield.

[Andy Holloway]

I don't know that he's got big boy pants anymore. People haven't been starting him for a while.

[Jason Moore]

He's averaged 155 passing yards since week 12. So you're talking. This was a former.

[Andy Holloway]

Like he was mvp.

[Jason Moore]

Six weeks in.

[Andy Holloway]

Mvp camera mvp chance at his home stadium that Taz thought were for him, and then all of a sudden complete nutter collapse. This is where I'm waiting for whatever surgery he gets in the offseason.

[Mike Wright]

Hold on, hold on.

[Jason Moore]

It's not good.

[Mike Wright]

Josh wrote in Flashlight Mayfield.

[Jason Moore]

I think it's a Laser Mayfield thing. And he thinks the. I think he thinks the inverse of a laser would be a flashlight. Let's go ahead and zoom in on that.

[Andy Holloway]

What now? Baker sounds like laser. It's a weaker Baker does not sound like flashlight.

[Jason Moore]

Flash. No, it doesn't. So we're always happy to throw in your good stuff.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

What did you think of that one, Al? It was pretty bad. Dub airs. Thank you. Now, Taser Mayfield would have worked.

[Mike Wright]

Even that sounds cool.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, but a Taser's like a. Like a dumbed down version of something.

[Andy Holloway]

Like a laser is cooler than a Taser. Yeah, a Taser. Taser Mayfield would be okay. But I kind of see what Mike's saying. It feels like he still could do.

[Jason Moore]

Some damage in Star Trek though, don't they? They go from phaser. They go from. No, I know.

[Andy Holloway]

Phaser Mayfield.

[Jason Moore]

They go from kill. So like stun. That's what Taser is. It's like stun mode. That's all I'm saying.

[Mike Wright]

I just.

[Jason Moore]

At least it rhymes.

[Alienware Advertiser]

I don't.

[Mike Wright]

The leap of a laser to a flashlight.

[Jason Moore]

We don't need to.

[Mike Wright]

Okay.

[Jason Moore]

We don't need to.

[Mike Wright]

Moving on.

[Jason Moore]

Flashlights are really big.

[Mike Wright]

During his era, a Mecca Ibuka had one case.

[Andy Holloway]

He was more candlelight.

[Jason Moore]

Oh, Candlelight Mayfield.

[Andy Holloway]

That's probably. Josh is very excited about that. That just rolls off the tongue. Candlelight Mayfield. I see how we got there.

[Jason Moore]

What were you talking about? I said.

[Mike Wright]

I said first round wide receiver. A Mecca Buka. First half superstar had one catch.

[Jason Moore]

Well, Mike Evans had how many yards? 20 something.

[Andy Holloway]

Not enough. He got my price picks.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

I mean, five for 31.

[Jason Moore]

Old oil lamp Mayfield.

[Mike Wright]

Nice.

[Jason Moore]

That's a good one, Al.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, my gosh.

[Jason Moore]

Running back duds. Jason was on pins and needles all week for Josh Jacobs to be active. He was active on the goal line.

[Andy Holloway]

Did you hear the comments about whether he was injured or benched?

[Jason Moore]

I am the one that shared those.

[Andy Holloway]

So.

[Mike Wright]

So you did.

[Jason Moore]

So I did. Yes.

[Andy Holloway]

I was unaware that you were the one that shared those. But he wasn't.

[Jason Moore]

Not injured.

[Andy Holloway]

He was not injured. But what was crazy about that when I. When I was listening to the comments, it was like he had no say. Lafleur had no say. The head coach and didn't know. And he's like, that was between. That was between Jacobs and the oc, I imagine. I don't remember who he was naming.

[Jason Moore]

I think you had some say more than you knew.

[Mike Wright]

The head coach, the man in charge.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, it was really weird.

[Mike Wright]

Is saying, there was nothing I could have done.

[Jason Moore]

The Henry and Jacobs utilization. If Jacobs doesn't hurt and then you don't put him back out there on the field. I mean, he said he thought Emmanuel Wilson was playing well, but he also.

[Andy Holloway]

Said he thought Jacobs was running well.

[Jason Moore]

Well, he fumbled on the goal line and didn't really see the field anymore and ended up in single digits.

[Andy Holloway]

And you lost the game that you were up.

[Mike Wright]

Okay, head coaches, you don't get to say these things. You're in charge. You do not get to say, I don't. It's the old Andy Reid. You're like, why didn't Jamal Charles touch the ball more? He's like, oh, man, I'm going to have to go look at the tape. I don't know. You don't get to say that crap.

[Andy Holloway]

I mean, the truth is, there's.

[Mike Wright]

You're in charge.

[Andy Holloway]

There's personnel packages, and you're not the one telling each. You know, like the head coach isn't necessarily saying who's going out there for each play, whether that's the offensive coordinator or even the running backs coach. I don't know who makes those decisions. You can override it.

[Jason Moore]

You can be on the headset, say, I want Jacobs out there. Yeah, that's all you got to do.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

Ian Rappaport said that. Josh. This is a news update. Josh Johnson seems like he will likely be starting for the Commanders against the Cowboys.

[Mike Wright]

Josh Johnson, Ultimate Stream.

[Jason Moore]

This is actually really bad news.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, for.

[Jason Moore]

Really bad news for the game for CD, Dak & Pickens, because the competitive balance of the game. Mariota was able to do stuff this.

[Mike Wright]

Year. I mean this.

[Jason Moore]

Is. I don't like that when I. You know it's similar to what you saw.

[Mike Wright]

From. Well, I mean that's, that's the counterpoint is Joe Burrow put up four touchdowns. The. If you get to the fourth quarter and you are up by that many points it's because your team has done massive damage and you're maybe it's like Javante gets three rushing touchdowns. That would be horrific if you're in on the passing attack. But it. It doesn't stop me from playing anyone in the.

[Andy Holloway]

Cowboys. Mike, you have to. You have to get into the listener league championship. I know it's.

[Mike Wright]

Close. I'm really.

[Andy Holloway]

Trying. You need. You need.

[Mike Wright]

Kittle. I need a big game from Johnny.

[Andy Holloway]

Taylor. A big game from Johnny Taylor. Well we can. We can root for that together because I'm. I'm. That's the one league I'm in. I made it to the championship in the listener league. My team has no chance to win next week. I was rolling with Marcus Mariota after losing Daniel. So now I will be playing Josh Jake. Josh Johnson. I can afford.

[Mike Wright]

Him. Kyle has remind us reminded us the Christmas day quarterbacks because there's three games on Christmas if you were unaware. It seems we will see Josh Johnson probably Max Bros. Is it Brosmer? Are we going with.

[Jason Moore]

Brosmer?

[Mike Wright]

Brosmer.

[Andy Holloway]

Brosmer.

[Mike Wright]

Yes. Okay. And then Chris Ola.

[Andy Holloway]

Dokun. Great. I gave.

[Mike Wright]

That. I gave him my best.

[Andy Holloway]

Shot. What a Christmas treat we have in.

[Jason Moore]

Store. Yeah, the. It's crazy. It's crazy. By the way, the great Michael Carter Amari Dumarcado debate turned into six points versus.

[Andy Holloway]

Three. But who.

[Jason Moore]

Won? Michael Carter. Yeah, Mike won of course. Bucky Irving 19 for 71. Kind of disappointing. No targets. Breeze Hall, DeAndre Swift, Rico Dallo, Chuba. Those guys let you down. And then Monty did almost.

[Mike Wright]

Nothing. David Montgomery because we're back into a hellish split with when if Rico and Chuba are going to be getting it's nine carries for Rico, six for Chuba. No one can get in the flow. You at least had the six targets for Rico Dowdle but it was against Tampa Bay. That was a big time.

[Jason Moore]

Bummer. And I don't know if we mentioned him. We probably could have Amari. And Hampton was definitely a stud this week. Got into the end zone. Kamani Vidal only had five total carries second game removed from the injury. It's nice to see what the plans are for him even going beyond into next year like it's going to be the Marion Hampton.

[Mike Wright]

Show. Yeah. And he's. He's looked way better than he did earlier in the.

[Jason Moore]

Year. Yeah, I don't, I don't have his final stat line in front of me, but he had a, he had a pretty good game and he looked the part. So. Other.

[Mike Wright]

Duds. Hampton, real quick, just for you, Andy. 16 for 85 on the ground, only 1 for 10 through the air. We'd like that to get bumped.

[Jason Moore]

Up. Scored.

[Mike Wright]

Right? He did, yeah. Running. Currently the running back, 15 on the.

[Jason Moore]

Week. Getting into the duds at the wide receiver position where there's some names that stood out to you. I mean, Drake.

[Andy Holloway]

London. Drake London was very disappointing. And you, you would say, oh, well, this is first game back and maybe, you know, they were easing him in. He had eight targets. He just didn't do much with it with Kirk cousins there. Three for 27, very disappointing. And then Amon Ra is the best wide receiver to have the worst game because he's automatic. He's guaranteed. He's, you know, you, you just assume I'm getting 15 points from him as kind of a baseline and 4 for 54 at the end of that game. I think honestly, Pittsburgh needs a little bit of credit and love, especially from me because I haven't been doing that. But when we talk about all these teams getting in the playoffs, I feel like the one that is just dismissed, dismissed outright is the. Is the Steelers, because old man Aaron Rodgers and they're just kind of this treading water above 500 team. But they've. They've done some good work. I mean, they're. They lost J.J. watt and they shut down the Lions. I mean, for most of the.

[Mike Wright]

Game they lost them because they also saw your.

[Andy Holloway]

Baby. Oh, T.J.

[Mike Wright]

Watt. Yeah. Gotcha. You got the fan of the perfection of fantasy football that Almond Ross, St. Brown and Jameson Williams both had. Like, Jamo was fine. He's five for 70. But I'm saying Jared Goff had a great game. Those two guys did not. Trevor Lawrence had a great game and yet Brian Thomas Jr. And Jacobi Myers did not. Did.

[Jason Moore]

Not. Yeah, that's. That's called the old knife.

[Mike Wright]

Twist.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. Metcalf was just 4 for.

[Mike Wright]

42.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. Had a touchdown called back in this one. We'll see what happens with all the discipline stuff. He. He's come out and kind of said what he said. Yeah, he said what the fan.

[Mike Wright]

Said. Said words you do not.

[Jason Moore]

Say. And then Nico Collins, 4 for 59 was double covered all game long. The Mecca Abuka, 1 for.

[Andy Holloway]

40. At least he got a 40 yard.

[Jason Moore]

Bomb.

[Mike Wright]

Dude. The downfall of a Buca is it's impossible. It's. How do you start like that and then we get here. I don't. We.

[Andy Holloway]

Were. He was like the best wide receiver in the NFL for the first half and is.

[Jason Moore]

Irrelevant. Well, when you're averaging 155 passing yards, you basically cut in half the production of Baker Mayfield that he had in the first half of the year and you then Split it. Jalen McMillan is on the field a lot. There were a lot of plays I was watching where Abuka was off the field and Jalen McMillan was on the field because of personnel patches. And it seems like first read, second read is still Evans and Godwin, whether that's good or bad. Trey McBride, we talked about.

[Andy Holloway]

It.

[Jason Moore]

Bummer. Jake Ferguson keeps not getting it done around a Gadsden. Just one catch for seven.

[Andy Holloway]

Yards. That was.

[Jason Moore]

Disappointing. Where did that sound come.

[Andy Holloway]

From? My.

[Jason Moore]

Mouth. Okay. I thought it might have been your something else. Colson Loveland, just three for 30.

[Mike Wright]

On a. Yeah, that was a Mr.

[Jason Moore]

Loveland. Nothing from the Bears because there was nothing from Josh Allen, nothing from Andrews and likely again Colby Parkinson or as you called him, Farkinson. And then Kelsey did nothing. Darren Waller, three for.

[Mike Wright]

40. The Kelsey one. You know, when you were talking about, hey, incentives, Kelsey, 1,000 yards was within reach for Travis Kelsey. And if you haven't heard Travis Kelsey talking lately about.

[Andy Holloway]

The. About the Chiefs.

[Mike Wright]

It'S. He was talking about Patrick Mahomes returning from injuries. Like, yeah, the Chiefs will get Patrick Mahomes.

[Andy Holloway]

Back. Not.

[Mike Wright]

We. No. And he is talking very much as a man who will be.

[Jason Moore]

Done.

[Mike Wright]

He. I mean, I think he was pretty close to retiring last year, but they was like, hey, we were so close. We got to run it back. And then coming into this week, he had, you know, just under 800 yards. Three games to get to a thousand. I thought maybe they would try to force feed Travis Kelsey. And that was not the case as he had six.

[Andy Holloway]

Yards. Another dud. I mean, we. Audrey estimate. I know we mentioned him a little bit, but one thing that, that reminded me of talking about Kelsey, the fact that he's about to retire, you know, potentially the emotional side. The man, Taysom Hill was someone that on the course of the season, you forgot he existed. He had done nothing. He was still.

[Mike Wright]

There. Literally.

[Andy Holloway]

Nothing. Yeah, I mean, he was. He was basically not really a part of this team. And we just forgot like that was his potential final home game for the Saints. And they talked a lot about that after the game, and it was like a just. It was a big whiff and a miss. Because in the running game, it was like, oh, Yeah. I mean, 12 carries for Taysom Hill, which we're looking at, that whole estimate, versus Evan Hall. That's. That's just a complete.

[Mike Wright]

Oversight. So Taysom Hill, what was the number, Kyle? You probably saw it of like, he's now the first player to have a thousand. Thousand receiving, thousand rushing, and a thousand passing.

[Andy Holloway]

Yep. In the history of the.

[Jason Moore]

NFL. He threw one of the two touchdowns, by the.

[Mike Wright]

Way. Yes. To.

[Jason Moore]

Olave. Olave. Because if Shuck had thrown it, it would have hurt Mike in one of his.

[Andy Holloway]

Leagues.

[Mike Wright]

Right. So it's like listener.

[Jason Moore]

League.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. Oh, good, good.

[Jason Moore]

Good. Listener league. So he's like, hey, you know.

[Andy Holloway]

What? I need you in there. We got.

[Jason Moore]

It. We got to win this touchdown. And then they listen to Mike. That was Studs and Duds presented by Lowe's. Lowe's nose. Sundays are for NFL football. Earn your Sunday with Lowe's, official partner of the NFL. We would keep going, but we. We can't. Mike has to get back to his yacht repairs, which are a.

[Mike Wright]

Burden. A.

[Jason Moore]

Brutal. Because he has to tell those guys what to.

[Andy Holloway]

Do. I tell them what to do on my.

[Jason Moore]

Yard. Oh, my.

[Mike Wright]

Goodness. You know how much money I would have to spend at our draft.

[Andy Holloway]

Jason? So you need Jonathan Taylor to outscore George Kittle by.

[Mike Wright]

About. By a.

[Jason Moore]

Lot.

[Andy Holloway]

11. By 11. All.

[Jason Moore]

Right. Oh, my gosh, I hope you.

[Mike Wright]

Lose. I hope.

[Andy Holloway]

You. And we need George Kittle to score fewer than 10 in Dino.

[Jason Moore]

Junior. Do you have any matchups still going out? Yeah, I do. You do? What.

[Andy Holloway]

Ones? It's going to be me and Mike facing off in the dyno.

[Jason Moore]

Championship. Oh, I just meant this week. You don't have anything you're waiting for on Monday Night Football? No, sir. Just waiting to get out of that Bears. Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay. Also, the Bears still.

[Mike Wright]

Suck. Go back.

[Andy Holloway]

Up. Oh, man, oh.

[Jason Moore]

Man. That feels like he has to do it for another show or.

[Mike Wright]

Something. All.

[Andy Holloway]

Right. Got the prison.

[Jason Moore]

Break. All right, we are done. We'll be back tomorrow. Good luck.
