What is up welcome to the week 177 edition of matchup points here at Fantasy points.com I’m John Hansen Brett Whitefield Adam Kaplan standing by happy holidays Merry Christmas happy Hanukkah happy New Year happy Festivus our guy Tommy T Tommy T-Bone on the other side of the glass keeping us on the air here

And we are up against uh well Thursday Night Football which kicks off the most important weekend in the history of fantasy football I know everyone’s ready so we’ll get right into it go right to the Jets Browns and Adam will go to you per usual injury walk wise here um

Pretty light here no Jeremy Rucker uh we do like uh Tyler Concklin um otherwise looks like we’re okay um and then for obviously no Zack Wilson and then uh we do have a couple of injuries here pregame that that might be worth noting here Adam like uh well Juan Thornhill

For one what else you see he’s got this L CF injury but the big one is Amari Cooper that’s by far one of the biggest injuries of the week he’s got the heal injury the dreaded heel injury this is the new receiver injury and almost all of these guys have

Missed time and it’s a short week now he he he didn’t do anything in their walkthroughs he didn’t run at all he didn’t do anything they just yeah got him off his feet he’s going to try and pregame in fact he was supposed to try over the last hour the enactors will be

Out in five minutes I’d be slightly surprised if he played and really yeah I I it man heels heel injuries Hollywood Browns had this for five weeks he’s Miss last three weeks remember he took last time Hollywood Brown played he took himself out he has played since then uh there’s

Another injury yeah yeah um um I’m not real optimistic because short week had this been on Sunday I’d feel better about it because then we’d know if he could run or not um but I would also pay attention if he’s active to any pregame reports from where what’s the game on

Amazon if they have anyone who did any reporting about how he looked in pregame I I’ve learned a lot from these pregame reports about on the sideline reporters who are there you know if you’re in the championship you need to know that so we obviously if he’s in active you don’t

Have to worry about it well maybe we can yeah get get well we might not be able to get it by the time we sign off but you know well we’ll know in five minutes whether he’s active or not I’m just saying for people who are you know

Before the game before you we we’ll be off the air before the game starts you know just check it um the the I give the Browns credit though one thing before we move on as their offensive line has been banged up for weeks this garon Christian

Has done a great job former drafty of of I was talking to someone from another team who said he’s shocked at how well he’s played U no I’m not saying he’s a good player but he’s overachieved he was a guy that was discarded from Washington and Miami and he’s their third string

Left tackle he’s done a good job and you know about flacos uh the way that he’s playing right now I mean I don’t I don’t know the quarterback quite frankly is doing what he’s able to do every single throw that he’s making yeah no doubt well Brett it is a positive schematic

Matchup for Flaco but a tough individual matchup in a Revenge game if he doesn’t have Amari Cooper you know I I think that’s pretty disruptive we have a very low total on here I mean based on everything you know about you know this Browns offense where they are and the in

The matchup here I mean what are the chances that we have a a very underwhelming performance by Flaco I I think they’re relatively High To Be Honest John there’s there’s always a match up a week that just makes you kind of gag and this is one for sure this

Could be a really really low-scoring game I mean like this just has like 137 written all over it I know Flaco’s been balling out he’s also turned the ball over a lot say the the one good thing about this game for for the Browns or

Even on the jet side is the pace of play should be relatively high for whatever reason since Flaco’s taken over at quarterback the Browns have been pushing the pace on offense they’re getting themselves into some shootouts um now I don’t know that a shootout is going to

Happen with these two defenses per se but I do think maybe you’re going to get you know 60 plus plays of offense from both teams and that could be beneficial for guys like Bree Hall who might need to be the beneficiary of some checkdowns things of that nature but overall I just

Think this game’s going to be kind of gross yep yeah well I I do like the the Tyler Conlin call he’s he’s very active certainly uh tough matchup for Garrett Wilson you know he’s gonna see Brett either well it’s GNA be either Emerson or Ward and they’re both good yep um

Right so you know what do you think of Concklin tonight another four or five grabs I think yeah I like Concklin and we we’ve talked about before Cleveland is is you know they do give up points to the tight end sometimes that’s the way to beat them in the past game and

Conklin’s been pretty consistent this year actually so very consistent about that it’s a shame John he’s not he’s not played with with good quarterbacks you know it’s really I’m telling you this guy was the top 10 Tay end oh this season and last if he play with a competent quarterback totally agree so

It’s a shame because you know as I I had that nugget for you last year that they their analytical numbers were so significantly good for him from tape study that he’d be great run after the catch of this West Coast offense they were they were convinced he’s going to

Be stud and he hasn’t been bad he’s gotten all that he can out of the quarterback play but it it it cuts him down a bit unfortunately oh I mean I’m like 11 and one on props for Tyler Conlin this year so uh I’m in on both

The yardage and the catch prop I actually like Jerome Ford’s uh receiving prop by the way which this Amari Cooper situation could help uh and then yeah that’s it I I don’t really expect much from Bree Hall his catch prop is so weird it’s over three and a half now the

Odds are terrible but I mean the D caught 12 balls last week so me yeah I I think he’s probably gonna have a Soo game Brett any thoughts there yeah for sure um and I’ll come full circle with Conlin too because I just found a great

Nugget on him but with breeze so what’s crazy is the the Jets quarterbacks this season have one of the fastest time to throws in the NFL yet they still give up a pressure rate that’s in the top 10 that offensive line just been Terri terrible what that has meant though the

Last few games is Bree is just going to catch every single check down every dump off it’s like it’s free fantasy points it doesn’t look pretty you know if you’re watching the game you don’t come away feeling like Bree all played well but hey man it’s it’s it’s worth a lot

Of fantasy points so I I’ll take it I just found this nugget really quick John sorry yeah um so the Browns are giving up the most fantasy points ofjust a fantasy points per game to tight ends who play out wide or in the slot well 51

Of targets have come out wider in the slot so that’s where he spends most of his time yep I think this is a really really good matchup for him yeah good schematic matchup too but like I said like I don’t really give a rat’s ass what happens it’s one of those like I’m

Sleeping like a baby just like Rashid Shah last week right I’m like sleeping like a baby it’s the right call to make uh anything else from you Mr C no that’s it I mean the big one is Cooper I’m I’m full agreement I I think I had I had to

Turn this game and I I I’m in like this sort of test so we we pick all the games and I picked it what did I get 16 to seven I think I had the uh the Browns winning wow it’s an ugly game and weather’s it’s not a weather game it’s

Just ugly yeah that was my prediction tonight like last or this morning about tonight we got one touchdown to work with for the Jets probably one uh defense well hopefully not Flo PR turn I mean he he John you know him he doesn’t care if he turns it over he just comes

Back and and keeps dealing you know yeah I’m going 40 % Bree 40% Wilson uh and then uh 20% Conlin uh basically uh lions at Cowboys well Brett uh well actually Adam to you uh how about um no Rico daal so we’ll see some little Little Deuce vaugh

Uh no Jonathan henkins good news for the Lions yep they run defenses not but we’ve been talking about that for weeks their run defense isn’t very good so yeah henkins is out Tyron Smith got a little bit of a work in today he’s got this he’s you know he’s had bad he’s had

A bad back for for a long time uh D this is the lingering ankle injury it’s been a problem for him for several weeks it finally gave out and the diminutive Duce vaugh who I saw in trading Camp he is small his dad’s part of their personnel

Staff by the way um he will be the backup yes I’ll be I’ll be interested to see if they give him any work in this game I’m drinking my new uh Dodgers mug that was my secret San in the family my oldest son Christian got me it’s like uh

48 ounces I think I mean look at the size of my head this thing sweet nice nice nice it’s got its own uh Tides uh it’s such a large body of water uh or liquid but anyways Brett um you know this is a sketchy schematic match up

Here per our data and for Jared gof and then also the pressure situation then again we’ve got a lot of uh you know how he’s not good Under Pressure I mean we have all the data is bad uh but then we have a high high total and we have a

Game indoors where golf is good so the rubbers what what’s what gives here so for golf specifically it’s it’s a certain type of pressure that he struggles with it’s it’s basically unblocked Defenders so teams with like really exotic looks that’s usually what’s giving golf trouble okay Dallas

Isn’t really one of those teams they’re they’re pretty straight up they do Blitz at a decent rate but it’s not like these aren’t really exotic looks that they’re giving you I know the last couple weeks they’ve used Micah off the ball a little bit more to Blitz the quarterback that

Could give golf some trouble I I’m not saying it’s going to be a super clean game from golf but I do think the way this o line is playing right now and when these five are together they’ve been Unstoppable they lead the when these when the Lions have their starting

Five offensive lineman they lead the NFL on EPA per play and pretty much every efficiency metric you can imagine so like yards per play EPA per play it’s it’s pretty remarkable so I don’t know that this is the type of pressure that’s going to make golf completely crumble

Furthermore John like Dallas can’t stop the run and that’s really been the key for GF is like when they can get that run game going he G is a lot less pressure because he’s in third and manageable third and short he’s not having to hold the ball for three

Seconds and that’s really when he’s found himself in trouble so I think that that’s all going to bode well Dallas is what in the last last seven eight games they’re given up over two yards adjusted yards before contact per carry which is like dis disgusting bad wow really bad

Seventh most adjusted yards before contact uh on the season yeah so yeah yeah no doubt it’s going to be all about Gibbs and Montgomery uh it is a very uh the Cowboys are tough against tight ends generally but it is a very good schematic match up for leaport

And I kind of like Jameson Williams to get another 50 you know like I feel like he’s boy he he is a is he’s doing some good things without the ball in his hands yep yep yep you know he getting the trust of the coaches next year’s his

Year though next year is the year y yeah okay uh and then for Dallas you know I feel pretty good I mean you know I think Dak won’t have much pressure that’s the been the that’s the big question right can they get some somebody else other than Hudson and to

Get pressure here and looks like the Lions D I mean where are they at right now because looks like they’ll have their hand full with CD cam Sutton the best corner was added to the injury report today so keep an eye on that they Jerry

Jacobs I was told was going to start he he got like a onewe I I don’t you could call it Dem motion whatever you want it sounds like he’s got a chance to play more anyway this week but man if Cam Sutton can’t play John that’s a problem yeah that’s a

Problem what do you think Brett yeah so I mean Detroit’s coverage as a unit has tightened up quite a bit the last few weeks I know that sounds crazy considering Mullins went for 415 on them or whatever yeah like 120 of those yards were contested catches of Jefferson down

The field yeah they were fiery last week yeah yeah absolutely and here’s the thing though CD lamb and Michael gallop and Jaylen Tolbert they’re all really good at contested catch situations so I do expect Dallas to try to play some bully ball on those lons Corners I I

Think Dak should have no problem moving the ball um this could I mean the the point the implied point total is high for a reason I do think that this could uh this could be a a high-scoring game similar to what we saw last week from from uh Detroit in Minnesota yeah no

Doubt moving on Miami at Baltimore you know uh injuries will go to you first though Adam uh looks like no waddle yeah he he they’re hoping it’s not a two-e injury so it’s it’s it’s not a shin it’s actually zankle but it it was not too it wasn’t too far from a

Shin so this is bad aan they expect to play but you know he’s had this lingering toe problem that might explain why he’s not looked as good as he did earlier the season and by the way this is his fifth injury that he’s had look

At my chart here that’s not good so this was a concern by the way with him coming out from Tex A&M the yeah injury history but he’s so explosive um most Earth they expect to go this is their plan each week he usually rests one or two days

With he’s had these lingering knee and Ankle problems um Rob hunt probably won’t play the one of their starting guards uh but he just started working this week and then the big one for Baltimore Z flow’s calf injury not good we’ll see tomorrow but that’s that that

Concerns me well Brett uh matchup wise here you know um negative schematic matchup across the board actually for the Ravens for Lamar all the receivers uh it is a good one for likely you know maybe that’s a limited data situation there although Miami has been sketchy

Against TI I I and simply put I think it’s a likely game uh but what do you think about the Ravens offensively in this matchup you know those those Miami Corners are the three of them are really good yeah I think we have Ravens with

The worst pass grade of the week in our matchup tool so that’s that’s not great um the Dolphins have also been surprisingly stingy against the run ever since what week six it was yeah turn that around and then the pressure rate like Jaylen Phillips went on IR back

What week 11 12 and since then they lead the NFL in pressure rate which is Van genko all day van genko for president they are up a little more too they’ve decided they’ve committed a little more guys to the blitz chub chub has been great chub great um but it is kind of

Crazy how that works you lose your best pass rusher and then you get better rushing the passer um sometimes you know coordinators are overthinking it I guess because the scheme they’re scheming it up is working and I I think that’s just a problem for Lamar the other thing

Miami does really well on defense is a lot of these Gap exchange type rushes they’re disguising it up um Lamar has traditionally struggled with with that approach if you remember the the playoff game against a Chargers a few years back where Lamar really struggled Miami a lot

Of the same things with their front that that the Chargers did in that game so this could be could be trick oh right they didn’t they just go like dime they went they went straight dime and they were just like you had no idea who was coming what the passer lanes were what

The Run keys were it was tough they couldn’t all right hey hey Cooper by the way is inactive Amar Cooper’s in oh wow I felt yeah I felt bad man these damn heel injuries man these receivers it’s been the new one this year it’s cost like four or five of them

Games so well I mean that uh Cedric Tillman yep yep Cedric Tillman time I mean he’s playing well I don’t know Brett have you uh noticed Cedric Tilman a great kid by the way love that kid yeah you know it’s t Tilman looks good he looks about to be the guy he was

On taping College he’s he’s big he’s physical he’s a little faster than you think he is for a guy that size we just haven’t really seen him with those contested catch downfield opportunities he got in college or at least a lot of them um but this might be his moment I

Don’t know that it’s a great spot for him but I would drop the overun from 34 to 30 with this injury and and my my over under was 20 so I’d go was it you know okay well I mean I’m gonna I’m burying Flaco here

Yep I mean I I’m not you know it is what it is well what does Elijah Moore get a bump up Revenge Ian he gets he gets the very least another half I mean you know I mean probably yeah I I say yeah three and a half uh is where I’m

Going to go to um let me do a quick calculation here but um while I’m doing that uh Adam why don’t we multitask here and uh move on to New England at Buffalo and what are the injury situations for that game yeah so you know Stevenson was

Put on IR Kevin Harris remains as the two uh Elliott Ezekiel Elliott didn’t practice take an illness I wouldn’t worry about that uh Buffalo Josh Allen’s off the injury report you know he’s had some people think is an AC joint brain anyway he’s off the injury report so

That’s good the question is Brett Brett would probably have a better idea than both of us what has happened with Stefon digs because the his number regression it started before Joe Brady became the OC so do we have any idea what’s what’s the issue is here

So it’s weird Adam because at the end of last year when I was watching we’re doing a deep dive on the receivers because we have a separation statistic coming out this summer okay um I noticed like around week 13 week 14 Stefan Diggs just fell off a cliff like it was really

Weird and I know the fantasy production was still decent he was getting volume but it looked like he just hit a hit a brick wall like physically I kind of see the same thing now he just doesn’t look like he’s as explosive as he was not getting in and

Out of his breaks as smoothly and that off like since I know it happened before Joe Brady but since Joe Brady’s Tak over he’s been really hammering Josh home on playing within structure and getting the ball out quickly that’s why James Cook has gotten sool in the past game yeah um

And I think it’s just it’s just not working with Diggs right now so much of what he did with Josh was was scrambled drill so well he is 30 and he’s taking a beating yes he is and if you’ve ever stood next to him which I have he is not

A big man at all I mean yeah he’s a small six feet he’s got a small frame and you know he up to a couple years ago he had a pretty pretty decent injury history yeah so that plays to your point yeah he he look he’s been in the league since what 2015

As a fifth rounder and he’s a smaller frame guy and yeah he just turned 30 in November so this you worry about this kind of stuff when you you worry about the legs the first thing to go at receiver to the legs totally 100% And I

I think we’re there I think Stefan digs should be like a seventh round pick next year could be you I really do I know that that may be seem like a bold statement here but well you know Allen will find a way but I mean this Patriot

D Brett is playing really well I think they need to get maybe James Cook involved in the passing game I I will say you know doing a lot of prop research and looking at all all the data one prop I love is khil Shakir it’s like

Over 23 yards it feels like he’s like their man beater right yeah and that’s why you drafted KH Shakir to be a man beater because he’s super fast and he’s exceptional at the catch Point like really really good so even if the coverage is tight he can still win that

Way so I I like that prop um yeah New England’s defense is just once again they’re just so stingy they’ve gotten better as the team has somehow gotten worse yeah man this this run defense is insane so I don’t think it’s a James Cook Knight unless he’s gonna get it

Done in the pass game I don’t know really tough across the board I do like the Shakir prop though quite a bit yeah uh and then Adam no raand Dre I see Zeke is illing a little bit here y yep yep that’s it really it is Brett back to you

A positive schematic match up do you have anything positive to say about Bailey zappy who may get Hunter Henry back it’s not a loss caused yet yeah yeah that I mean that would be nice um you know Buffalo’s back to struggling with their pressure package so I mean

Bayy should have some time um the real issue with him is he just can’t push the ball down field at all so yeah and and a team as disciplined as buffalo in secondary they’re just GNA I mean they’re going to eat you alive upage I just and John that’s why zappy was not

Claimed off waivers he he just cannot he’s a push passer teams don’t want that like M Jones had un really great accuracy yeah so that you get if you can’t throw the ball if you cannot drive the football down the field you got to be incredibly accurate zapp’s not that

Guy he he was a streaky player you know he put up massive numbers in college we saw senior ball he did some good things but the league has spoken he’s a very limited player very limited and you’re you’re you’re seeing that oh totally I

Know I I didn’t start him in a two- week super Flex Dynasty Championship uh for big money and I regretted not playing him he he did well last week I didn’t expect it uh so I he’ll probably crap the bed this week though I I just feel

It in my bones he’s missed he’s missed her first half he he you see what he did against Pittsburgh you saw what he did last week week yeah you know yeah true true that that’s a good point um don’t like Gabe Davis nope not no Gabe Davis

This week yeah Atlanta at Chicago and Adam I I am officially worried about will Justin Fields have anyone to throw a football too yeah so Mooney’s got a concussion not looking good for him the big ones KT who had over 100 yards in the first

Half last week was he’s been one of the best values in fantasy I got him the 12th round in the ACI um yeah you saw what happened he came back shortly after the knee injury and then he was good he was done for the whole game the rest of the game he

Didn’t play in the second half he hasn’t done anything yet um obviously you would be worried about that um Atlanta their offensive Line’s banged up but they’re expecting everyone they’re expecting hanaki to play through the ankle injury uh but yeah doesn’t look good for Mooney

And KT he’s going to need to work so if he if he’s limited tomor I would expect him to play um but that’s that’s where it is uh Brett matchup wise here I I do we we do like uh London schematically I found that London is very predictable per our

Database like if it looks good go with it like the last time I had him as a prop he went over well over a hundred if it looks bad like last week uh this one actually looks good I know it’s a challenging match up but uh

Any thoughts on you know what stands out to you in this matchup maybe those tight ends who are also looking pretty good and don’t look now if Kyle pittz can string together like two more good games he might actually finish as the top 12 tight end funny right um yeah I like

Drake a lot in this game Tyreek Stevenson’s kind of been weak all season long um Chicago can’t really make up their mind with how they want to play you know in the coverage sometimes it’s man sometimes it’s Zone um they’re definitely trying some things back there

But I I like Drake in this match match up I think he’s going to see a lot of Tyreek Stevenson and that favors him quite a bit we also have Tyler hinei with the second highest uh schematic matchup of the or schematic grade of the week among quarterbacks starting so I do

Or sorry third highest so I do I do like that match up for him as well yeah I like that Joe Dolan called him Hospital ball heiki in his article that made me laugh that’s that’s a a me invention right there oh no he throws a lot of

Those man oh man it’s a guru Jam right there uh well I call him HB Hani is actually what I’ve called him yeah yeah but that was taken from hospital bheki yeah I know just like HP Penny Packer from s yes yes yes no I know HB sounds a lot

More sophisticated I know I love that hi I’m famous businessman and entrepreneur exactly there you got it um well and then you know bejan well we we we were pretty high on bejan he did get it done last week uh and then Adam do you have any thoughts on the on

The Bears Back Field let Deontay Foreman let’s say he’s active you think he’s still he’s back to being the the one well the problem is Herbert juice Herbert showed himself last week I mean he he he B he performed I know the Cardinal run defense is the worst in the

National Football League but he did a really good job so that that’s a tough call because we knew that once Foreman showed what they were looking for he was going to be the guy the rest of the season and then he got he’s had two separate act

Injuries then he had a personal issue last week so it’s a great question I don’t know I don’t know that one I don’t know what they’ll do all right well let’s go if Herbert didn’t look good different story then it’s clearly for yeah yeah let’s go to uh Tennessee at

Houston there’s a lot of injuries here a lot of them yeah tell me about uh well it looks like Houston yeah let’s get to the big news Stout has been cleared which is great U so he’ll he’ll be in the lineup now Houston’s D line is decimated will Anderson’s got the high

Ankle he won’t play Malik cin Malik Collins with a hip injury the second hip injury not looking good for him uh Jonathan grenard their other DN probably won’t play with his ankle injury so there and oh and uh Sheldon rankins other so they could if there’s a possibility their entire starting

Defensive line will be out it’s possibility we’ll know more tomorrow I mean this does help Derrick Henry for sure yep sure and it helps will leus who could needs to Lis should is trending towards playing oh stepen Nelson one of their their starting Corners he’s got three injuries he’s dealing with he

Might not play that’s bad um so it Tennessee might be able to move the ball a little bit now Tennessee’s line they’re expecting to have mostly everybody their secondaries banged up beyond belief they’re putting guys out there who are like fourth and fifth stringers so I strou and unfortunately

I’m playing Paul in the one of our championship games and I’m Paul Kelly and I’m not looking forward to because he’s got Stroud I know I’m in trouble yeah I’ve got Noah Brown and I don’t know what to do you know quarterback change is not the best schematic matchup

I think individually it might be against offen Trey Avery uh I do like Dalton Schultz in this game uh I also really like chiggy uh and it is Brett a very positive schematic matchup for dehop I guess that’s zone right they play a lot of Zone I just don’t know if you can

Trust dehop anything stand out to you in this game oh man this is this is another messy one Houston’s D line being out if that’s if that comes to pass that could be huge because they’re hou’s defense has been just obnoxiously stingy considering the talent they have on that

Defense it’s like not not a ton of talent but they’ve been great especially against the run so if that D line’s out that’s gonna open the door for for Henry obviously flacko got him last week but yet right the run defense has been the run defense has shocked me how good it’s

Been I I I wow yeah they’re I think they’re like leading the league Le the last six five weeks and uh yards before contact per attempt against them so 42 very stingy U so if those those guys aren’t playing that’s that’s obviously huge Tennessee’s whole offense rolls off

Of that play action that heavy play action stuff so schematically though you know I don’t want to trust dehop if I don’t have to but I get a lot of people are going to be in that situation so um you know it does look nice though against that zone Stephen Nelson we we

Called it a couple weeks ago John um against DeAndre Hopkins type receivers um he he struggles look no further than uh Mark Cooper last week yeah exactly there you go um good route Runners and and guys that are physical at the catch point he he struggles with those guys so

He’s smaller guy he’s guy we did talk about that that is correct uh yep yeah I remember looking back at my write up I’m like geeez I hope I didn’t spin him negatively and I just it was pure straight up facts but I he’s John he’s

Feisty and tough but he doesn’t run well right and he’s smaller he’s got a he’s a smaller frame guy yeah he’s just his b like he he gets the most out of his body but anyway the Eagles were not going to bring him back he just doesn’t run well

Enough and he’s a guy I’m surprised quite remember when before Stingley got hurt and then after Stingley got hurt they were how stingy they were and we like how are they doing this they were executing well but man flacko got them last week who did they he did get

DeAndre that Houston Carson guy number 30 no it was the aention Nelson uh oh was it Nelson okay because play okay well you saw the back of the guy’s Jersey every single play yep yeah yeah no doubt um all right well I think we can move on then uh single ter uh he’s

The guy so proceed uh knowing that um next up here we’ve got what do we have scrolling scrolling Raiders at the Colts uh pit GNA get C tomorrow unless something happens he should get cleared tomorrow Michael Pitman should get cleared tomorrow unless something happens yeah what about

Jacobs I highly doubt it he’s it’s the quad it’s three weeks boy last year he was the man playing through minor injuries this year not so much when you needed him unfortunately yeah well Brett I I was impressed with zamir white last week you know I said two weeks ago the

Guy’s done absolutely nothing which was true well now now two weeks later he’s done something uh what what do you think yeah that that you know 40 time finally came to pass there with uh with some explosive playmaking so um no I I like him the Colts have been bad against the

Run the last you know five well actually probably the last half of the season um they’re giv up 2.28 adjusted yards before contact per carry the last five weeks oh that’s a bad number so listen the Raiders that’s their identity they want to run the football so they’re yeah

Totally oh John they are hiding I don’t know how much I watched the entire game because I I had Myers talk about hiding a quarterback and Jimmy Garoppolo is fully available to play yeah I but they’re they’re they are hiding oconnell as much as they can they will not let

Him throw they’re not taking a because this Antonio Pierce a defensive guy he knows his chance to get be the the get the interim tag taken off is don’t screw the game up hide the quarterback don’t let him throw so you’re screwed man here if you’ve got Meyers or or or Adams

Unless they get behind folks it’s going to be low volume I I did say all summer I mean no offense not trying to be an a hole here but you could just tell Jimmy G was in full dgaff mode like hey I got paid I’m good man I’m good whatever

Happens like whatever if I take one snap 10 snaps whatever what I’m I’m in Vegas you know what I mean uh it seems like that’s playing out anyways um well and then you know Raider d right they’re pretty good good under under Pierce especially like seem like everyone knows

Their job and they’re they execute their job and they’re they seem disciplin as hell yeah we we’ll find out this week just how disciplined they are because no team runs RPO read option stuff more than the Colts do so that that those second level Defenders they’re going to

Have quite the day ahead of them Colts have made it work against just about everybody this year so we’ll see um we’ll see just how disciplined they are Carolina at Jacksonville I I couldn’t believe Bryce Young last week I’m like what in the world got to Bryce young uh

Injury-wise Adam looks like maybe no JC horn yeah tow injury yeah because and the way the way I understand it he does not play when he doesn’t feel that he’s 100% that would be huge because their their defense has played really well secondary has really been the story um

The big one is see Lawrence was scheduled to practice today some but he didn’t so that’s that’s not good Beth took all his reps so that’s that’s where that is we’ll know more tomorrow Z Jones has an outside chance to play he’s got knee but the big one is the

Hamstring yeah yeah um we’ll see if Lawrence actually misses a game I I this point I actually projected uh beart but I’m sure I’ll change it back to Lawrence after he does something tomorrow and then opens up the window that he might play I mean they still have a ton to

Play for here oh yeah we worried about chuba hubard at all I guess you know limit yeah he he he should go all right um and this is a this is a big opportunity for him because obviously you’ve got coaching changes and he’s been a nice story this season not that

They see him as a starter but my sanders is there’s no way he comes back next year based on the way he’s performed he got benched so it’s uh it’s gone through him he’s done a nice job John he’s been very decisive he’s gotten all that he can out

Of his body I guess uh we’ll see about Trey hearnen um uh there oh the Jaguars nickel yeah I think well Campbell has a new injury finger injury he should go uh no Trey hearnen is is not on the injury report oh okay well that that I I guess

That’s why maybe that’s why uh not the best schematic matchup uh for Thelen you nailed that last week Brett on uh theel and you know I I I played aggressively that over the catch total prop the winner uh but yeah I don’t love it here um good schematic match up for Ridley

But we’ll see about the quarterback and everyone’s rolling with Evan Ingram and at the very least etn should get carries uh anything stand out to you you know matchup wise relating to Fantasy here good or bad yeah I so Bryce young two weeks in a Rona I thought he’s played

Really well the one game he didn’t have the stats to back that up um this last game obviously he did he he’s starting heating up he’s only got one turnover in the last four games and that was a really big problem for him previous to that so he’s clean he’s slowly but

Surely cleaning things up you’re starting to see the accuracy come alive a couple of those touchdown passes last week were phenomenal um made a lot of really good throws the pace of play in this game should be pretty decent I think we should get you know roughly 66

To 70 plays per offense so there should be opportunities to go around I I know it’s not the best schematic match up but I think thien should be in for heavy diet with Trey hearnen opposite him most of the game um DJ CH also so the Jacksonville Jaguars give up a ton to

Outside receivers ton of fantasy points yeah I like Char he if he’s gonna see Tyson Campbell a good bit of the game but also see Darius Williams the other bit so Campbell the thing the problem with Campbell is he’s had two separate injuries quadriceps and hamstring he’s

Finally over both now he a finger injury but he expected to play so maybe he’ll start playing better I’m not saying they won’t go after him that’s what you do because he he he just has not been right physically for a while but oh by the way the Carolina offensive Line’s kind of

It’s banged up a little bit we’ll see if uh Jacksonville could pressure him uh it is for what it’s worth a good schematic matchup for Mingo but I don’t know if we’re using Mingo at this juncture uh moving on here the week 17 matchup points live stream here at Fantasy points.com

Our guy Tommy T on the other side of the glass uh Rams at Giants and pretty light injury-wise here for the Rams and really for the Giants too Adam yeah nothing for the Rams the only one of note Dexter Lawrence was deal with his hamstering injury he played part-time last week against the

Eagles and that hurt them Eagles absolutely gashed them and n’s roaches their best Run Stop in D tackle he should be back this week so that must probably had something to do with it um Ry Jackson will be fine with the ankle wand Robinson will play Waller’s okay

With the knee he took all his reps today so yeah you’re right it’s a pretty soft injury week this is the healthiest the Giants have been in a while we know about this is yet another team that’s making a quarterback change going back to Tyrod yeah and they’re going back

Because they must clearly view him as giving them the better chance to win they they w win yeah and boy Tommy Tommy deito is the strugg bus right now for him Tommy T-Bone over Tommy cutlets they by the way they tried to hide him oh my

God were they trying to hide him yeah I saw I saw Jordan renan uh tweet uh that he was a little surprised about it and I was surprised that Jordan was surprised honestly like yeah he’s so limited John he’s so limited I mean they they their their evaluation of him is complete well

They got look I give look I mean yeah oh it’s definitely complete yeah I get it they were in evaluation mode I get it yeah it’s like awesome powers John and I John and I love that term evaluation mode that that would I love that one yeah absolutely yeah well um we have

Been evaluating uh the giant secondary we have determined that we do in fact love flot uh and Brett uh looks like good good match up here for Cooper Cup against uh little Cordell flat uh and then hey puka against adori Jackson will be good if Ador adori is on the injury

Report but I guess he’ll play he any thoughts here Brett on this one yeah if you if you just happen to luck into any Ram stack in your fantasy championship this week congratulations because this is a phenomenal matchup whether you got Stafford Cooper cup pukan Nea Tyler higgy kyrn Williams they

All have great matchups obviously not all five of them are gonna go off Demarcus Robinson man come on Demarcus Robinson you gotta feel good about it though I mean it’s just across the board just really really great time to be getting the Giants obviously so um I think higgy’s the surprising good

Matchup here though the uh the Giants give up the most adjusted fantasy points to inline tight ends in the NFL Higg is one of these guys that plays almost exclusively in line um I yeah like the I like the matchups across the board John not really gonna find a complaint for me

Okay yeah Higg uh actually by the way last week uh I got his projection exactly right three for 30 right on the head uh I I’ll probably bump him up a little bit based on what you said I’ll give him another a catch there you go kid go fella done done

Done reminds me of that time uh I had Frank Gore on the radio show at LT and I’m like Frank I can tell you what you’re gonna do on Sunday if you really want to know because I’ve already worked it out he’s like yeah what I’m like Frank you’re running for 95 yards

Congratulations first thing right out of his mouth no hesitation he’s like give me the 100 I was like I gave him a 100 and he ran for a 100 there you go so that’s awesome that’s that’s a great Frank Gore story uh love Frank Gore um let’s see anything else

Yeah I think we can move on I was just gonna say I like I like some of the Giants matchups here John the Rams give up a ton yeah outside receivers and right it’s just that like tyod I like yeah I like Tyrod too I mean hopefully

You’re not in that level of a pinch here in your fantasy Championship but for DF props why not Ty Rod’s got a great matchup oh yeah the Rams are getting beat up here I like Waller too yeah I like Waller a lot yeah yeah sorry I did

Skip over that just a little bit uh let’s move on to the next game here week 17 Cardinals Eagles Mr Kaplan uh in Philly man see like every damn game is in Philly for some reason but uh no Hollywood Brown I would imagine no yeah couple things they expect Kyler

To play obviously if he doesn’t practice tomorrow I would downgrade him even if he does play severely because he needs practice time he’s just he’s the Eagles do not do well against quarterbacks who could who could run so that’ll be interesting and yeah Hollywood forget about that dorch will start for him our

Guy Trey McBride Eagles aren’t great against tight ends um they loves dor this week do that yeah yeah yeah okay good good Eagles well the Eagles he’s got good Quicks and by the way the Eagles have some of the slowest quarterbacks so looks like he’s playing

With a broken hip right now guys holy crap oh I just mean he looks old like he looks know I get it I get it trust me I know what that means well you could have said with a piano on his back but that’s another one yeah yeah that’s a good one

Piano on his back who who would you guys go with on a very low end real quick and this is for a friend uh very well-known person uh dorch or Marv Mims oh God that’s tight yeah so we have head-to-head we have Marvin Mims with the the second best matchup score for

Wide receivers I saw thater CB yeah I just don’t know the volume’s gonna be good enough to to war if Sutton’s out the only thing with Mims is he was added today with a hamstring oh oh oops that stinks s yeah we we we’ll get to that

But okay all right well it might be dorch um anyways uh but Adam if Kyler goes I feel I feel like he’s a qb1 this week oh well I don’t like QB won but I’d certainly put him in top five because he he was last week somehow I know I know

Eagles Eagles defense is draw dropped off by the way the Cardinals have the worst run defense of the National Football League Eagles just ran like crazy over the Giants we have Swift he better be it better be up there yeah I mean they’re G to probably just run at

The clock right yeah mean and he was the closer last week not gainwell which is interesting well you know we don’t have him that I’ve got him with 16 carries for 78 rushing yards he’s top 12 I think in attempts I know he’s way up there in

Attempts I mean he’s a tough one because he’s not catching a lot of balls and SC I know but he he’ll get an opportunity to score he will they they’re they’re going to they’re going to control the clock as you said they’ll have the ball I know you could throw against the

Cardinal corners but you could the Cardinal run defense right now is not competitive did you hear what Jason Kelsey said today on his podcast he goes every time they get to the one he goes to Swift he’s like I’m sorry man oh oh with the prly shove I know I know I know

And that points there um by the way Arizona’s given up 3.29 adjusted yards before contact per carry the last oh five games that might be the worst number I’ve ever seen actually I G just say is that historic um I mean there are some people who they don’t get that per carry period

Run by the way they’re down they’re down like four defensive linemen and they just lost another one Jonathan LED better for this for the last two games so yeah that’s what I’m saying Swift is looking way to year term better than usual now fair point though he may not

Score because they they’re gonna have the shove inside the one man you know if I grew up uh with a kid named lead better you you do you’d be damn sure that kid be wed better throughout our childhood uh I’d have to I’d have to

Gury that name a little bit uh uh all would love though all would love uh moving on um to the next game which is the Saints at the Bucks and for the Saints Adam I mean could Latimore get activated at any point no no okay no no because he would

Have had start you can’t yeah you can’t do it on a Friday for Sunday game so yeah Ram Ryan Ram but they’ve been look they’ve been okay without him um the big ones though in this game are Carlton Davis the the Bucks best corner with a

Concussion uh Shaq Barrett is it a big deal if he doesn’t play diab’s been so good on the other side I don’t know that it matters all that much but their defense is playing better I’ll say that much Yaya is that Yaya yeah yeah Yaya diabi he’s been really good that’s our

That’s our daughter’s name Yaya that’s her nickname in the house yeah yeah no because uh her name’s Olivia and her twin brother trying to say her name when he was a baby would call her Yaya so we just start calling her y any who uh noise um well Brett uh pretty good

Schematic match up for Baker you know I guess probably a lot of man uh Godwin heating up what are you seeing there uh pretty good matchup here no ladimore to ruin Mike evans’s day yeah their uh their pass protection is where it kind of starts with this

Right now they’re playing out of their mind like their uh QB pressure rate over expectation is awesome they are just blocking it up really really good Canales has Baker getting out on the Move they’re they’re just making it really tough on defenses and you know that’s leading to guys just getting open

And Baker delivering the football on time I I really like what I’m seeing here this it kind of seems like Baker might get a Gino Smith type contract this offseason exactly what I was thinking because because they’re not going to give him a lot of guaranteed money for two years

Because you that’s there’s risk involved give him a one year give him a two-year deal with a one-year structure and the way we go yeah I did say that in the offseason by the way like you know Canalis did a great job with Gino what who’s to say he doesn’t do something

With Baker thing about Baker was it it was quiet summer it was slow going like he wasn’t like convincingly beating out Kyle tras for oh he wasn’t John he wasn’t very good earlier in the season foret he was very inconsistent and then second half he’s been tremendous yep yep

And you know it’s a it’s a it’s a good uh mutually beneficial relationship with Rashad white white helps him he helps white we’re we’re good uh any thoughts Brett on where Derek Carr is right now he does seem to be fairly dialed in um alive balling last week we knew that

Your boy at Perry any thoughts here on the Saints offense Because by the way Alvin CRA is like I mean it’s it’s almost funeral procession time here for Fantasy it’s been rough you know Tampa’s been they’ve they’ve got a little bit better on defense some of that is bus getting back to his

Traditional Blitz happy Roots where they’re playing a lot of fire zone a lot of man Blitz type stuff but they their Corners still haven’t played that good uh Zion McCullum is definitely beatable so I like Chris La a lot I think we’re projecting that to be his most seen

Cornerback this uh this game so I like Chris La a good bit um you know you know Shahed if he gets some Zion that’s good Christian iian the the is he a rookie or second year guy I’m not first year nickel yeah first year Nel he’s he’s

Playing really good so Shahed might have a tougher day than expected if he’s gonna be in the slot most of the time oh John one thing though about about Carr and why he’s playing better this is the healthiest the pass Target group has been pretty much all season Jan Johnson

With a calf and another injury he’s missed time tm’s actually healthy Al is over his ankle for the most part shed’s over that thigh injury so yeah he he as much as I hate to admit he’s actually viable I know he could burn people as he

Has his whole career but that to to wonder people are wondering why is he better because his past Target group is healthier yeah yeah and uh I think for the third year in a row I completely ignored Michael Thomas’s existence and I’m glad I did uh and you know just was

Pretty evident to me even three years ago like yeah I’m not sure this guy’s that into playing football uh moving on to the next game here on the week 17 docket the ners and the commanders the commanders switching to jacobe Brett merciful end uh to the you know the wall

Uh I’m G to call him now Sam Howell the wall I mean one of the biggest walls hit that I’ve seen in a while tough matchups but yes yeah yeah and then uh the Brock Ness monster Adam uh looks like he’s going to go with he go yep yep yep he

He’s had a stinger issue but yeah he’s definitely going to go Deo should go with the neck he got work in today uh looks like Elijah Mitchell will get cleared bar something unforeseen he should get should get cleared to be the two this week uh Trent Williams turned

Out to be okay I know they were concerned initially he’s not even on the injury report Armstead won’t play on defense on their D line Jan Jennings probably will not play as a third receiver anything else you need to know what they going to do DC at at running

Back car Brian Robinson coming back yeah so BR robs worked the last two days limited Rodriguez went an IR with the ankle injury so we’ll know more tomorrow and it’s Gibson it’s that’s it and oh they’ve got the dreaded Jonathan Williams yep yep uh actually a decent

Schematic matchup for the I’m sorry no Derek Gore Derek Gore the former Chief it’s actually Derek Gore Jonathan Williams got hurt I think oh no he’s okay here’s the deal he they’ll they they’ll move him up from if if Robinson can’t play he he he’ll be on the roster

It’ll be Gibson as the lead back and Gore and Williams backing him up just depends on Robinson tomorrow yeah Jonathan Williams still oh you know who else is still in the practice squad Jarett they actually just brought him back from mothballs they just signed him funny you mention that they just signed

Yeah I I did not know that he was well here’s what happened he was with the Chargers practice squad they cut him right and he just signed back because of uh rad ras’ injury yeah I want to use Logan Thomas you know the Niners have been giving a little bit it’s that’s

Tough likely look great against him sure yeah uh Brett anything um pry pretty good schematic matchup there the data likes Debo doesn’t love KD doesn’t love love auk although how can you not like auk good schematic matchup for the outside receivers for the ners uh not so

Great for Samuel anything stand out to you here fantasy wise yeah it’s just a great matchup after a horrendous performance against the Ravens like it’s a good Get Right game for them sure Washington has so little Talent on the edge that like terrible this is gonna be

Great for py to to kind of cast off those demons we saw Monday night so I need maaf to go for four touchdowns and I’m feeling like it might happen I see a minimum of two what what’s what tomorrow when we do our show is your ball prediction for

Touchdowns I’m you know if because if I do it I’m gonna jinx myself what a story or or or I could I could do a double reverse Jinx and and I don’t know maybe shock the fantasy guys like oh wow this guy’s ballsy uh all right give it to him

Four touchdowns um we we shall see Washington is so bad on their D line they allowed the New York Jets to run for five yards a carry last week which is I just insane absolutely uh perfect get well spot I it’s just it’s just scary because

You know one I hope it doesn’t turn into like KD goes for like three you know what I mean like yeah Debo could be a Debo game oh let me ask you this John what what do you think of brassette being the quarterback I think he’s been amazing brisket yeah he’s been

Incredibly efficient uh he’s just going out there zipping the ball I me granted I’m sure it’s prevent defense and all that but you know he’s got a little bit of Mobility there I mean Brad always says and it’s a good point like can you protect on the edges I don’t know if DC

Can oh here’s the problem okay speaking of that Charles Leno probably won’t play their left tackle in the center they’re down there their second or third string Center Tyro Larson he probably won’t play neither played last week that’s a concern yeah yeah yeah the only um the

Only team that’s given up more pressure the last five weeks is the uh New York Giants so I mean this is this is not a great spot for for the Washington offense yeah no doubt about it let me update one thing real quick here as a you know like literally I’m literally

Updating projections as we discuss these matchups here projectiles yeah and this is kind of part of the the process here it’s like you know we do it for people who want to hear it and see it on the site and also for me as u i do the heavy

Lifting on the projections and of course my uh Hansen since article up over the weekend um p Pittsburgh at Seattle um injury-wise here what do we have here um the big one now I don’t know if it’s minor or not but DK mecf was added Thursday he didn’t work back

Injury we’ll learn more tomorrow keth Walker’s got an illness I don’t think that he’s in danger of not playing but obviously if he doesn’t work tomorrow I’d be concerned he has a shoulder injury but as I understand it’s more the illness why he’s not working so that’s

Something to keep an eye on as we go forward and then Pittsburgh they’re they’ve got issues in the secondary at safety as we we talked about last week it didn’t hurt them surprisingly minka’s not going to play with the knee injury um so they’re they’re not it it

Should be Mason Rudolph a quarterback that’s where it’s trending Brad what do you think of Mason Rudolph uh I I want someone to send him a memo letting him know that the middle of the field is in fact eligible for play uh because I just feel like the guy

Is a little bit too aggressive pushing the ball on the outside and yes I am bitter that Pat frith couldn’t get a damn catch last week yeah it’s it’s like do we want to complain about too much because we watched Kenny picket struggle to get the ball outside the

Numbers for how long and then Rudolph steps in there he can actually get it down there so it’s kind of like refreshing in one breath but I get your I get your beef in the other hand but Deon and Pickins both slightly elevated because of Rudolph I think

It it is tough though Seattle’s secondary has just kind of been up and down up and down up and down the deal he’s just he’s a very aggressive Corner that he’s gonna live off his instincts and go for big plays and when he gets beat he gets cooked so

That’s the way it goes um on the other side Johnny Joey Porter’s gonna Shadow DK meta that’s a really fun match up because Porter’s a big physical guy yeah metf obviously a unit in his own right I like Tyler Lockett versus Levi Wallace it looks like Levi is back in the

Starting lineup yeah so that that seems like the matchup to exploit there is is Lockett versus Levi Wallace yeah and a good schematic matchup as well the best uh on the board here no doubt about it and we’ll see about Walker good stuff there uh here in the week 17 matchup

Points live stream at Fantasy points.com uh yeah erase Pat Fri me from your your memory bank basically who does he play for John I’m not familiar with him who does he play for it’s I don’t know the the the um the uh Senators I don’t know

Let’s make up a fake team uh the Chargers at the Broncos you know Adam to to you here like I don’t know like might there be some sort of mutiny here like I don’t know where the locker room was on this Russ Wilson benching because it

Seemed a little scary it look pton Sean pton rules the roost yeah this was his call um you obviously it’s contractually related that’s the number one thing but it we all know this Shawn payt wants the offense run a certain way he does not want to run around quarterback who’s

Gonna hold the ball and then decide to to dance around you don’t want that this is the receivers under the bus too like he you know I guess to try and deflect the tension well yeah he said I can’t you know I can’t cut you know we can’t

Cut the receivers can’t cut the tight end so can’t you know whatever bottom line is it didn’t work Jared S him well as John’s called him with affection Jared SDM Jared SDM he uh in the lineup then situm well you know he had the one good game but these backup quarterbacks

Are all the same they’re they they could flash for two to three weeks but there’s a reason why they’re backups then become backups are you bailing from Broncos um well a couple things here so Sutton’s got the concussion not looking good Mims was added with the hamstring

Didn’t finish practice doul won’t play I doubt that he plays even in week 18 so Mims obviously will replace Su if he’s healthy enough uh forget about Keenan Allen with the heel injury another receiver with a heel injury uh Josh Palmer’s got a concussion so they’re kind of screwed yeah they’re screwed too

You know Brett anything on this game I mean Gerald Everett uh does have a good matchup uh schematically Jerry Judy I I like it I mean in in a lot of ways it’s the same matchup that Gabe Davis had uh last week but I I just know this is what

Going to talk about John it’s this game is haunting me because I want to smash Jerry Judy this is perfect um the Chargers are in a weird situation where uh Derwin James is having to play in the slot a lot um Asante Samuel Jr’s basically an outside corner only now um

Derwin James is just as good as we think he is as a safety box player mismatch weapon he doesn’t get it done against against uh wide receivers and I just think it’s a really easy matchup to exploit it’s just tough because I don’t want to have to rely on Jerry Judy but

We’ve never seen him play with Jarrett sidam though or Jarrett sit so you like that don’t you I do like that so maybe maybe we finally we have a new reason to believe in Jerry Judy and it’s with the new quarterback it’s just hard it’s hard

To be here week 17 and fall for it again but man I freaking love it maybe it’s a something I’ll fire up in the DFS side of the the business I did play and list a Judy over prop that I regretted for 57 minutes of the game uh he did hit it at

The end there uh but it’s like pulling teeth with Judy but something’s got to give here the Chargers and their hope hopelessness or the Broncos with you know this change of Russ I don’t know I I would you use would you consider stto mam or you know like no over like Aiden

O Connell okay well yeah dude I’d start you over a Connell Adel Connell is in the high of the quarterback ball okay about uh stum stum or Hospital ball oh HB I love HB this week what are you talking about that’s close I think that’s actually I know it’s a tough

Match up but HB he’ll Scramble for 20 yards he’s gonna throw through 185 and get a touchdown you watch yeah I mean but yeah okay let’s move on this is annoying uh Bengals at Chiefs uh injury wise oh Chase did start working today with the AC joint spring

That’s great that must mean he can move the shoulder so he’s got a chance to play so that’s big and then here are the ones seems slim this week what’s that the chance seems it seems like it’s well it’s better than no John he got some working today that’s that’s that’s

Positive okay let’s get to the Chiefs peo not looking good with the concussion now I warn you about C here’s why I’m G to warn you it’s he didn’t practice today for an illness typically I wouldn’t care about it but guess what he missed a game earlier this season doing an illness

So that would worry me Tony probably won’t play with with the hip and momes is just so frustrating right now I know the match Up’s good oh Cam Taylor Brit I shouldn’t mention their best corner he’s got a chance to play started working this week oh looks like he’s a very good

Chance to play as a matter of fact that would help I I kind of like Mahomes in this one to bounce back I think it would be a a big Kelsey game oh sne the Jerry s with a CF inry didn’t work today oh that’s big yeah should mention that

Because he would he would probably travel on Higgins oh he’s he could be tough yeah yeah but Brett our data loves the schematics here for the Bengals must be a lot of man coverage there uh what what jumps out to you in this game yeah

Kansas City plays a ton of man I think they’re top five in the NFL the last five weeks in man is good against man yep yep and Browning’s been like surprisingly mobile what did I say Browning yeah Browning sorry Jak Browning um Sor TV’s playing I can’t

Keep them all straight it’s crazy but Browning surprisingly mobile so I you know if K’s gonna play a lot of man I think that’s good for him he’s gonna buy himself some time keep the chains moving with his legs a little bit um the only concern is if Chase doesn’t go you’re G

To get a lerus Sneed Shadow on T Higgins then it’s like if plays yeah he’s got the calf injury so true true what what did you say about Peko I missed that by the way uh not looking good he’s got a concussion yeah so if that’s the case I

Absolutely love C in this matchup which is the first plays he plays oh he’s messed up too illness he’s got an illness and he missed a game week nine he missed do it an illness so you can’t guarantee that he’d play through it we’ll we’ll know more tomorrow he’ be

Illen whoever’s starting there in Kansas City this week I like the matchup because the the Bengals have been just horrendous against the run the last you know what eight that’s a great question John I mean they might get down to L Michael Peron it is it’ll be

Perine and then they’ll move um the the kid uh they have Keon Ingram on the practice squad right no it’ll be generic Prince it’ll be generic prin yeah yeah yeah yeah pre-season star and then it’ll be um it’ll be Jesse Haynes so bring him out of

Retirement and then uh oh uh who was that guy in the in the the the the big off season there was another guy well he was the alltime champion oh no I’m sorry Derek Al not Al Gore is with the Commando so it won’t be him no who is

The guy for Kansas City who was a big offseason hype guy in the late 90s it wasn’t 90s no Jesse Haynes was the number one ever he was ridiculous uh I I’ll I’ll I’ll call it up while we’re doing now got me bothered bigger than Jesse haes though yeah no no Jesse

Haynes was Jesse Haynes was literally a mini camp Flash in a pan yeah they were called him like they the second coming of Jesus I’ll never forget that yeah all right well moving along long here that’s one oh this is it yeah um Packers at Minnesota what are what are the uh all

Right so okay th all right this is GNA take me a minute and a half so forget about Watson with a hamstring it’s too bad Wix here’s why Wix may not play he’s got a chest injury the ankle’s okay it’s the chest Davian Wix I know he’s be kind of

Sneaky so that’s Jaden Reed John he’s getting no he he’s got he missed last week Tow and he’s limited but that’s Improvement Luke Musgrave with elas rated kidney he hasn’t been cleared yet but he started working so maybe he play the outside chance he gets cleared you

Saw Dylan play last week dandre Campbell won’t play you know about J Alexander getting suspended so here’s here the captain I’m the captain now qu it’s it’s crazy here’s my question would you even consider in a two quarterback League jiren Hall no I don’t think so okay I I kind

Of thought he had a chance but I mean shown very little and I just feel like they might pull him yeah well yeah but then what they should have stuck with Mr turnover Nick Mullins who went for over 400 oh and Addison’s going to be okay with the ankle oh Donell

Bennett yeah oh no no no no he was not even close to Jesse hnes yeah I know but there was a couple there was a year or two where people were br’s not all enough to remember him but okay so this is an important th this is an important injury Byron

Murphy probably will not play with a knee injury he’s their best corner yeah Blackman his backup should play yeah I mean look love I said on our live stream on uh Sunday I’m like we got a couple love question I’m like let’s just go love you know like body work’s

Been good I saw various data points today that were better than Aaron roggers in this offense for love last last year so Based on data love is better than Aaron Rogers year than last year um anything stand out to you Brett in this one here I do like our guy uh

Jaden Reed um I I want to like KJ Osborne for the same reason you brought up last week with d yeah I dude it’s when when Adam asks if we like jiren holl at all I’m tempted here like a lot really Green Bay I know terrible I know I knowe in the middle

And jer’s gonna miss too which yeah hav’t been super scared of him but he is gonna Miss um gosh I I just I love it I love it with no I feel like KJ Osborne’s going to be even more involved yeah Josh Oliver you know as a as a as a lowkey

Flyer man I it’s hard for me not to like jiren Hall he can run a little bit too he’s got Mobility to him not a very I thought he had I thought he was like kind of remind me a little bit of Dak Prescott yeah he’s got that’s that’s

Like a very very poor man’s deck but um he’s a YOLO ball thrower though and that’s where Jefferson and Osborne and those guys kind of Thrive so um go go up and get it fellas it’s just it’s just a great unknown that’s just John you know

He turns 26 Jaren Hall in March yeah he’s a baseball guy I believe that was okay yeah yeah yeah was he play at BYU so there’s a yeah exactly I thought he might have been in the he did that too I believe he did that too um but yeah I

How did Aaron Jones look to you feel pretty good about where Aaron Jones is now he looks awesome again I don’t I don’t know why it took this long but here we are yeah not the B not the best matchup uh and I also feel pretty good

About uh you know Tai Montgomery luckily he scored last week well that that’ll wrap it up here uh one hour and seven minutes not too shabby we don’t want to belabor the points here we’ll end it we’ll wish you a happy New Year we’ll wish you good luck in week 17 we’ll say

Thanks to our guy Tommy T and other side of the glass thanks to our guys Brett Whitefield and Adam Kaplan I’m John Hansen guess we’ll see you next year uh yeah sure we’ll see you next year uh for week 18 here at Fantasy points.com
