https://www.youtube.com/NFLonNBC

Go off I’ll I’ll figure it out’s he’s way in the back we had a St we have a Stafford it’s all the way at the very very back you go ahead anyway that’s who I’m talking about give me a second you you go keep talking I

Believe you Matthew no no no said I believe you we’re going to have Matthew DOI decorating here quarterback 22 against the Giants there’s the Stafford Jersey up there he’s there and that is inde a Matthew Stafford Jersey thank you Lawrence um you know some people doubted

Me that was uh was that that was like minus 125 that we fantasy football pregame with Matthew Barry served by Applebees well Matthew was on the hunt for Matthew Stafford a man who’s been on fire these fantasy football playoffs and now he’s searching for another fantasy football victory that hello and welcome

Into this special Festivus edition of fantasy football pregame I just realized that like when I lean over George the way we were sitting is this good I just want to wave it’s perfect I just want to wave to the audience I just want to to write yeah it’s all right my mom would

Be very excited obscuring the vision son in the background here Matthew L Jackson J Croucher I’m George savu so many story lines to get to today none bigger than the two men sitting at this desk even though he’s an a some would say he’s America’s team the stick

Men night in scoring Cinderella story and then on Matthew side it’s over start feeling tight in the postseason dude I so nervous I’m Legit nervous cuz he’s got all these players that are due like he’s got he’s got crappy players that have overperformed already and then he’s

Got all these bad players that like or players that have been bad recently that are due for big games and I’ve just I’ve seen how this movie plays out I just I’ve seen the end of this movie Lawrence you know this this is what happens all

The time you crush I mean you’ve heard about this I mean right you like you’ve heard stories about this right where you win you’re leading wire to wire like I like I was blowing like I think I was 300 points higher than every other team in this league not anym baby right and

Now I’m projected to lose to Jak Croucher like this is the what what was the year it was uh wasn’t that one year when Seattle snuck into the playoffs at six and seven and then they uh s and n Quake the Beast Quake game that’s you you’re the Beast Quake

Yeah exactly I know I feel like since you since you feel like you’ve lost you’ve already lost in your mind you should just cone see Victory to Jr I’m not going to I’m not going to give that tus Factory he’s GNA satisfaction he’s gonna have to earn it on the field but

He and he won’t earn it on the field but he’ll still like Josh Palmer is going to have like 200 yards and it’s just it’s stupid Matthew is Matthew’s very rattled by this very unhinge he keeps sending me sending me strange messages like I just get random messages last night got a

Message from Matthew saying I fear Nick Mullins just putting my bed my kids to bed Matthew tell me Fe my wife had to hold me as I cried myself to sleep and all I kept saying over and over again was Nick Mullins Nick mull Nick Mullins

He actually kind of plays like high a fantasy team is done this year you know what I’m saying just cover the eyes throw the football and like Justin Jefferson Jordan Addison out there somewhere but you’re here now Nick Ms was born in the chaos I merely adopted it but it will take you

Molded by it he’s dressing like you for I I am I’m Sweating Bullets I’m nervous my entire way to take me down the only way to beat Jay is to become Jay it’s my only it’s my only hope Jay’s over there calm he’s got that big Nick

Energy and uh big Nick mull big Mick Nick mullen’s energy the big Nick energy and I’m just I’m Sweating Bullets th% I’m completely rattled and nervous and and I I deserve to win this I deserve to win this league I’ve had the best team from start to finish I’ve made every

Right move and yet it’s going to all crumble in front of me today hey but the Eli Manning Giants also let you know you got to get hot at the right time I understand lot of David tyr about because I had a stupid you like the

Patriots right now I had a stupid buy last week you know and so like all my you know all my guys went off like Jordan Addison had a monster game last week did me no good cuz you didn’t lose you didn’t lose oh I was on a buy I was

On a buy tank Dell got hurt you know what I mean and like it’s it’s outrageous and for all you you don’t before you complain about Justin Herbert Derek Carr got you more points than Justin ABT AB no it’s true Derek Carr Another Hero another American champion

Wait so wait dere Carr in the line up I had Chris J Croucher living right J Croucher this week whatever with this Festivus Edition we’re going to have our Airing of Grievances and don’t forget on peacock we’re here 1 to three Eastern leads right into football night in America

You’ll see Matthew Barry of course we got the double header here on peacock Bengals Steelers then the late game the peacock exclusive bills at Chargers let’s kick it off though with your storyline here week 16 my storyline is Trevor Lawrence questioned all week whether he would clear the concussion

Protocol literally minutes before we came on air the news came out he has officially cleared the concussion protocol Trevor Lawrence will start for the Jaguars against Tampa Bay and it’s a great matchup but how how much do you trust him do you do you trust Trevor Lawrence to start against the Buccaneers

Despite the fact that he really hasn’t practiced uh for much of the week he’s just coming out of the concussion protocol uh we already know uh Christian Kirk isn’t going to play Z Jones looks unlikely to play in this one as well and so can you trust Calvin Ridley Evan

Ingram Travis etn in a game that’s you know uh quarterbacked by Trevor lawrenson can you start Taw I’m really asking this for myself I’m in the semi I’m in a semi I’ll I’ll bring this out to the table I’m in a semi-final match up with all my a dynasty league with all

My old ESPN buddies right I’m actually playing I’m playing field Yates shout out to field Yates no that’s not Le different League this is a dynasty league with all my buddies and I’m I’m playing field and I’m the one seed Fields the six but similar to this

Situation where anyway uh uh Cooper cup didn’t do anything for me I have four quarter it’s a super Flex League I have four quarterbacks here’s who I have to choose from Trevor Lawrence Baker Mayfield Kyler Murray against Chicago on the road to Chicago or Jared gof on the

Road to Minnesota they’re all they’re all like the same choice would have been easier had he not had Trevor Lawrence not cleared the protocol but it’s like they’re all then I think it’s gof and Baker but like yeah I saw Trevor Lawrence against the buck P defense right now I have Lawrence

And Baker in but I’m just there’s a little bit of nervous because that could be a shoot up but there’s also like if that game suddenly just turns into like a slog you’re killed on both and and think about this too that you just talked about the Bucks pass defense the

Jaguars and bucks that over under is 43 so is the Cardinals and the Bears both of those games have the same uh total so that’s interesting to me you would think the higher total would be the Jags and the bucks but it ain’t so that’s you

Know I just say that to anyway that’s F that is my story line Damon here uh on the YouTube uh can we trust Trevor Lawrence indeed t or Jordan love for me this one I’m going it’s close to me but Jordan love hadn’t looked great and that

Game’s on the road at Carolina the Panthers have played pretty good defense pretty good pass defense especially at home I’m going Trevor Lawrence there Panthers muck it up at home I mean they they’ve had some ugly 15 13 139 type games they haven’t really been that fantasy friendly so as much unease as

You have with Trevor Lawrence I could see that 100% being the Le I’m going I’m going Taw anyway so and by the way feel free to weigh in who you think I who you guys think I should start Lawrence of Lawrence Baker Murray Golf right now I

Have Lawrence and Baker and those are uh those are my two guys there but hash FF pregame throughout the show we’ll get to those so that was your week 16 and Lawrence you were touching on yours for week 16 Bears Cardinals higher over under than we were anticipating yeah and

You look at the uh well obviously the Texans don’t have CJ stra but that game with the Browns is 40 so you got the Bears here you’re looking at two teams 3 and 11 5- n but the reason that this total is where it is is because of

Justin Herbert and Kyler Murray we are and this is we already know Maris Brown is out but when you think about it this game could be more fantasy fantasy friendly than we think you got Trey McBride who’s getting started all across the board you got Cole KT who’s picked

It up uh recently in the past couple of weeks he’s been scoring touchdowns the ugliest thing is the the Bears backfield you don’t want anything to do with that because it’s it’s so flip-flop but then you got DJ Moore um because Mars Brown is out um is there somebody out there

Desperate enough uh to start a Michael Wilson coming back you got James Conor in the back field so quietly this game and obviously the two quarterbacks quietly uh this game could have some great fantasy relevance and one Trio that bears backfield may be out we’re

Going to have more on that later in the show we got a long question here FF pregame Kyler Murray or Nick Mullins also should I start James Conor or jayen Wadd um then we have in my Flex zamir white um if we hear that Jacobs is out before the Sunday game standard scoring

Been a follower since the 06010 days thanks all I appreciate you Todd that’s my uh that’s my old podcast 061 of course is the the zip code for Bristol Connecticut uh first off we are hearing that Jacobs is trending towards playing that’s the expectation here is that Josh

Jakes was going to play he returned to practice yesterday so you’re not doing that for me I think it’s jayen Wadd in the flex I don’t even think it’s all that close I get it Dallas but I and I know that Connor but like on the road at

Chicago I know Lawrence you’re talking about the fact that game might be more fantasy friendly but I I’m just not sitting Jaylen waddle no I think you have to go jayen WD there I think in a way that maybe the tough one is ky Mario

Or Nick Mullins but I would L KY Mario yeah yeah Jaylen Wadd to me is that that one is easy just because of the potential that game could be there yeah but I just I think Kyler Murray gets you enough upside with a rushing like it’s borderline it’s on the road to Chicago

They’ve played really good defense recently I get it um and Nick Mullins is playing Chicago but in a close tossup between those two guys like Mullen has the better matchup Murray’s the better player but so they’re projected fairly close for me I always go with the talent Kyler Murray is just a better

Quarterback like by a wide margin so I just I always rather just bet on Talent what’s your week 16 storyline here so my week 16 storyline George is can you start any Texan tomorrow against the Cleveland Browns now for much of the season the Browns have been uh just a

Fantasy sorry the Texans have been a fantasy Supernova with the season that stoud has had tank Dell Nico Collins have been monsters obviously tank Dell is out for the year CJ strout isn’t playing tomorrow and now we go from Case Keenum who was it was okay against the

Titans but he wasn’t very good and that was a very bad defense now he’s going up against one of the best pass defenses of the past 20 years in Cleveland so who do you feel comfortable starting cuz I don’t feel comfortable starting any Houston Texan at the moment Deon single

Ter and Nico Collins they would be the two most likely but still there is a chance that this is like there is a chance that Texans just score six points in this game uh and so if I can I’m trying to avoid everyone on Houston are

You taking Nico Collins out of your uh merchants of chaos lineup I think he’s well but here’s the problem my team is terrible do I said if you can try and avoid the Texans I cannot I don’t any other good players so I think ni Collins

Like he one I’m weighing up ni Collins Josh Palmer or Parker Washington that’s my choice Matthew this is the life I Le I think it’s going be ni Collins for me yeah another question should go Parker Washington from yeah Nash clay Hans need to start two in my Flex spots Garrett

Wilson aan McBride Nico Beckham hash FF pregame all right two in your Flex spot I think it’s your oh boy McBride is really interesting there it’s Nico or Beckham let’s start there yep so now it’s Garrett Wilson against my commanders Devon aan who you know we haven’t seen the same kind of

Explosiveness fantasy-wise since he’s come back the way we did earlier in the season or Trey McBride who has been nothing short of phenomenal here definitely ain’t on him Target sh boy oh boy oh boy see you Deon yeah I don’t know Garrett Wilson’s got Trevor Simeon playing for him here what I’ll

Say I think we all feel the MC I think we all feel the best about Trey McBride yeah for sure yeah so now it becomes between Garrett Wilson and Deon aan and yeah I think this is crazy but I think you’re probably going Garrett Wilson and Trey McBride Anan playing

Against the Cowboys pretty good run defense as well he’s at least at the moment hen’s been running behind Raheem moer he’s always a threat to break a big one here but the Cowboys are desperate Cowboys need this game this is a big game for the Cowboys I still actually

Think Miami wins it but like I think they’ll play more inspired than they did the last time we saw him against Buffalo and You’ expect that run defense would improve after they have a full week of emphasis on it after how they got lit up

By James Cook and car for the people who are betting on Elite quarterback play this week or and if you have Garrett Wilson Trevor Simeon is minus 238 to throw over a half of a touchdown so they that might be Garrett Wilson you know he he throw a one touchdown hooray the

Under yeah I think Trev gets into the end zone all right I’m going to take a page out of Matthew’s Playbook after my SNF go anywhere that can go anywhere after my SNF under sell last week I’m going to go full company man mode here

For my week 16 story line we have the two games on NBC Peacock we have two different eight in six teams that have identical records but very different story lines coming in the bills must win each and every week they’ve won two straight they’re eight and six any l

They jeopardize their potential playoff chances but they look like the type of team that could go on a run win out in the regular season and do some serious damage in the playoffs flips side Bengals who are in the early game they’ve won three straights second longest winning streak in the NFL right

Now with Jake Browning which is crazy they’re eight and six and I heard Chris long on his podcast saying all right we had HomeField advantage in 2017 but with Nick FES we didn’t think we could win the Super Bowl late in the regular season then when we got hot and went on

That run so I think the bang Les are starting to have that belief this week though could be a big speed bump having Jamar chase out but it’ll be interesting to see if those two teams can keep those win streaks going there there is a little bit to your point there is a

Little bit of team of Destiny with them that if they go into Pittsburgh and beat them without Jamar chase by and I think they are they’re still they’re three-point favorites and I’m I’m taking the Bengals I I’ll just not to ruin it for you but you should still watch

Football night in America when we do all our game well but there’ll be other there’ll be other uh things to talk about football night uh besides just my pick uh but just you know I’m taking the Bengals I I think they win this game I

Think there is a little bit of team of Destiny here I like the all line on that two minus four and a half even without Jamar Chase so yeah B up last week I put a little wager on the Bengals to Wi the

AFC at 85 to1 why not no one in the AFC is scary at the moment and how much you put down huh how much you put down how many little chunk of change yeah uh but I do think six bucks like Jake Brown is number six there you go uh Mar Chase he

Will come back at some point if they can get in there’s just no one in the AFC that scares you I think the best team in the AFC right now is Buffalo and there’s like a 35% chance they miss the playoffs entirely if they don’t if your 85 to1

Doesn’t cash yeah Will Will little Rio have to wear hand me- down WNBA Jersey OB no no she’ll be fine but the Niners must win the Super Bowl they simply must win the Super Bowl all right another question here um and it says # FF pregame would you start

T or Aaron Jones at Flex this is a tough one so Aaron Jones on the road at uh at Carolina obviously T Higgins playing later today on NBC and peacock I’m a company man I assume I’m going to assume PPR scoring I like the double hashtag on FF pregame by the way

Uh6 he mean b right yeah he’s that’s like he wants to make sure he get seen gets seen T Higgins or Aaron Jones throwing for Loop mine what’s your answer I’m going to go uh I’m GNA go t Higgins f it I think just I think this massive

Target share I’m nervous I’m nervous about this game at Carolina uh as well for the for the Green Bay Carolina game the uh the most recent line on that one is 38 yeah Packers are four-point favorites I you know I Packers aren’t good they aren’t like Aaron it’s it’s a

Bad run defense in theory although again they shut down Atlanta last week you know and like nobody ran whoever they was running the ball didn’t run with for all Arthur Smith Jokes Aside the fact is is that beon did not have a even when he was getting what little run he got he

Didn’t have a great game aler whatever Patterson fell into the End Zone on the on the sweet but like really I’m going T Higgins like we like I think Jay brought up this point on fantasy football happy hour uh but the fact of the matter is is like Jake Browning’s prop on DraftKings

Is what 236 something like that it’s up to 240 now yeah two all right so you move that line Jake Browning is 240 passing yards where is he getting 240 passing yards right like there’s only so much that Tyler Boyd and Tanner Hudson and brown and Mixon out of the backfield

You know Trent Irwin like a lot of it’s gonna go to T Higgins so yeah I’m gonna go with t Higgins T Higgins is probably more than likely almost GNA score a touchdown today but yeah that was one of the best touchdowns of the year was the oh

That was awareness to extend that to the pylon was ridiculous now we’re going to get into burning questions I’ve one off the top we know you’re the stick man mat you haven’t shared your team name what who should we be rooting for on live at

Dune on the is the name of my team you stuck the whole year I’m company man I’ve I’ve stayed with it the whole year as well because my show fantasy football happy hour is live at noon on the all right we are starting with the bills at the Chargers Buffalo

Short for peacock yes just be clear HBO Max went to Max so peacock I’ve been waiting for you all this show already Matthew to say the joke about how you can stay on the peacock until midnight today stay on it all day long and when

You say that make sure I ain’t on one of them shows all right switching gear how did you let Matthew Barry say those vile things on air we’re going to have to let you go that’s how it’s going to go should make the same gag on fnia yeah

Yeah well played there J Croucher so we were looking at your top ranked players for the bills Chargers the burning question and I know he’s friend of the show almost sacriligious to say this but coming into this year you wouldn’t have thought it was possible is it time to

Bench Austin Eckler in your fantasy playoffs I don’t hate it here’s look we love Austin Eckler here and I I’ve said this before um friend of the show friend of fantasy football I’m L I’m legitimately in business with him he’s a he’s an investor in fantasy LIF

And and so you know it it pains me to put him on my hate list but I will tell you this Austin Eckler in addition to being you know an amazing NFL running back and astute businessman he’s also a really good fantasy football player and Austin Eckler the fantasy football

Player would tell you that Austin Eckler the football player hasn’t performed well recently right uh since week 11 he’s just running back 32 on a p points per game basis he’s had single-digit fantasy points in four the last five games as well and over the last four weeks he think about this matchup

Against the bills Buffalo’s allowing the third fewest fantasy points per game to opposing running backs and so Eckler in a game that could get out of and early we just don’t know what kind of Chargers team is going to show up is it the team that just got you know completely

Dominated by the Raiders last week or is there kind of a you know new coach bounce because they fired Tom Tesco their general manager they fired uh Brandon Staley their their former head coach and so maybe there’s a little bit but like he’s running back 20 for me

This week so I think he’s a borderline starter but is it sacr to bench him absolutely not he made by hate list and I will say that if you’re in the fantasy playoffs with eeka on your team my guess is that you have gotten there despite him not because of him and you’ve

Probably found other options whether it’s the emergence of James Cook or a Devon single terer you’ve sort of pieced it together you know getting PCO back whatever Ezekiel Elliott like there’s guys that you could potentially use instead of him yep and for context his rushing prop on DraftKings is said of

372 his receiving prop is 30 A2 and his anytime touchdown price is plus 180 so about a 30% chance of getting in the endzone like that’s you’re like 60 so in essence they’re saying it’s it’s probably about 60 total yards yeah and with a 30 one one and three chance of

Getting into the end zone I’m like that’s a that’s a flex play that’s a like cross your fingers and hope flex play and you got to hope that if he does get that touchdown you got to hope that comes early cuz the longer the game goes

It just feels like the more chin is the Buffalo Bills have to uh get away but yes it I I would uh would not scoff at if you sit Austin Eckler this week all before we get to the question I’m just curious Lawrence what’s up you said you

Wouldn’t scoff at it but what does that sound when you do scoff I’m just curious when you do scoff like this B humbug that’s what it sounds like w not a scoff that’s that’s got a SC either not traditional like whatever it’s a same reaction after another I have a different so it’s

Festivus and I have a different airing of grievance but I I may add Lawrence’s terrible scoffing to my list of grievances that I air later in the show Brian toson this from YouTube bench to PPR mostart Dallas you see Hall Washington Gibbs Minnesota hn he’s giving us all the matchups we just had

Our rant Eckler’s production lately has me hesitant understand thanks guys love the show thank you Brian we love you I’m benching aan and Eckler I think you have it in the right order Brian in terms of how you’ve listed it that’s I think that’s how you would rank it I just I

Can’t bench mostart I can’t bench Hall against my commander so now it’s really Gibbs aan or Eckler and just again Gibbs on the turf indoors against Minnesota he’s been so explosive uh you know Anan makes me a little bit nervous and buff we just talked about Eckler so I H and

Eckler would be the guys I’m benching AG greated yeah yeah on the horn on that one 100% by that our next matchup Dallas at Miami Dolphins two-point favorites over under 49 and a half Cowboys have looked like two completely different teams at home and on the road these are

Matthew Barry’s top players in this showdown Matthew are you expecting a bounceback performance from the Dallas offense after that stinker they had sort of I want to I want to sit on the fence here so I apologize for that but I’m just going to own it like I’m just I’m

Fening a little bit here because do I expect them to be better than they were last week yes because there’s no way they could be much worse right so nowhere to go but up do I expect them to be back to the cowboys that led you to the playoffs no absolutely not they’re

Much worse they’re basically like 50% of the offense on the road versus home get this at home this year they’re averaging 40 points a game best in the NFL 431 yards a game third in the NFL uh and they convert over uh over 53% of the

Third Downs first in the NFL on the road and this game is at Miami they average just 21 points a game that’s 15th 304 total yards a game that’s 21st in the NFL and they convert just 43% of the thirds down seventh so I’m just like they’re sign they they’re averaging 40

Points a game at home 21 points a game on the road Denver and Vic fangio I’m sorry Miami and Vic fangio are playing really good defense recently this is an important game for both teams as well so I expect Miami to come out really impressively I don’t know that it

Matters for Fantasy because I don’t know that you have the luxury of benching a Dak Prescott a Tony par to cidd lamb I just don’t think you can or Jake Ferguson who Jay is playing and I know he’s going to go off because he’s on Jay’s team he’s playing against me

There’s it’s gonna happen Jake Ferguson two touchdowns coming in you know that’s happening uh but uh so I expect them to be better George to answer your question but I don’t think they’re going to be all the way back I don’t think they’re going to be

The guys that you you you rode into the playoffs having said that I think you still got to start the big stars I like Matthew how you’ve memorized my entire team it’s like you sit at home with a jake Ferguson I’m like I’m of course cuz

I’m I’m so nervous I’m you’ve got me all rattled All Shook Up I’m Elvis we got a cowboy in this good hip reference for the kids there yes the uh Eternal Mr Presley we were on YouTube we got Pard PCO eten or Chandler need to uh really

By the way Jim nice job that’s a really nice uh no it’s a good group of it’s a good group of people uh to uh to choose from you’ve got a ton of choices I don’t think you could screw this up I actually like all four guys this week but I’m

Going to start etn and Bard just I think just you know in terms of workload P’s first game back from injury how much you know how much work does he get same with Chandler we’re still waiting on word about Alexander Madison we expect Chandler to lead uh to lead that back

Field but the the it’s easier to throw in the liances than it is to run of them so poen who should get the the majority of the workload on two in theory good offenses you feel better about etn with Lawrence under Center as well that’s who

I’m going with I think it’s well TI Chandler he’s maybe a little bit inflated just in people’s minds because of how awesome he was against the Bengals the Bengals lost DJ reader in that game without DJ reader they might have the single worst run defense in the

NFL Vikings were playing with the lead I don’t think Tai Chan is going to look like Prime Adrien Peterson every week out so I agree that that he’s out in this scenario even worse than the commanders uh nothing’s worse than commanders nothing no let’s not go too

Far you know how like Chris B always says you know how Chris bman always says you know no one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills no one goes down the drain like the Washington commanders but not fully down the drain cuz you’re never quite at that number one overall

You beaten the Jets no no I’m taking the Jets oh Dam I think the Jets win biased though it’s Trevor Sime and Matthew Sam Sam’s a real quarterback Sam how quarterback real not he’s a figment of our imaginations I will I will I you want to take my bet jet Sation who wants

To bet me against the Jets minus three with me all right done there you go done exactly on the break I’m going to take a alternate Jets line I’m not yeah I’m taking the Jets yeah of course good luck good luck with Simeon unfortunately I’ve seen him play this season that’s fine

Pretty I’ve seen that I’ve seen that jet defense I’ve seen that Jet’s defense speaking of quarterbacks that are a figment of someone’s imagination and a quarterback we had one of the biggest swings in align this week with the benching of Desmond Ritter and the insertion of Taylor hinei into the

Lineup the Falcons at home go from a home dog to now favored by two and a half over the Colts Jonathan Taylor coming back this week for the Colts good timing for those in the fantasy playoffs so Matthew which running back do you feel better about JT or a bounceback week for bjan

Robinson I feel better about Jonathan Taylor just because uh I believe in Shane styken Shane sten’s a good coach he he’s got he’s he understands one of these amazing concepts of like huh I have this football and I can distribute it however I want I have decided to

Distribute the football in the hands of my best players yeah Jonathan Taylor is one of his best players Arthur Smith has a philosophy of like I’m just gonna make it up I’m just gonna like whoever oh like who just brought me a cupcake this morning oh Tyler alir here’s 15 carries

Okay there you go so yeah I I feel better about Jonathan Taylor especially with Zach Moss has officially been ruled out the Colts announced that earlier this morning and so Jonathan Taylor’s competition isn’t even Zach Moss but it’s like you know it’s the trace sermons of the world Jonathan Taylor

Should get a massive workload against a Falcons run defense that ain’t all that anymore it’s worth noting that Atlanta is a bottom 10 run defense over the last four weeks and so yeah give me Jonathan Taylor I as a top 10 play I have bean as

A top 20 play I’m still trusting Loosely Bean but I feel better about Jonathan Taylor we’ll get to that this question and then I’ll ask you one on the back end from Jay Miller on YouTube Half Point PPR start to have to figure out my tight end and the last Flex spot Kelsey

Leaport Jay Taylor you start both tight ends double stack it if you play JT then Kelsey vers lorta good problems to have really good problems to have I get the question but I just I can’t bench Kelsey I mean I mean leaport has been amazing I

Get at the crazy game last week as well and I’m just not I mean again I’m just not benching Jonathan Taylor for a tight end no matter even if the tight end is as good as Sam leapa so I I don’t honestly Jay Miller this is another one

Where I don’t think you can screw this up but Kelsey and JT for me Jay Miller I’m in this exact same situation actually where I have to choose between Kelsey and leap Porter you have to look past that three touchdowns like he did it on the six targets which is that’s

Very efficient but now you got Kel versus uh the Raiders here and like you said Jonathan Taylor we just talked about him there’s no Zach Moss not even to vulture the touchdowns away so you’d want to go uh Taylor in that flex and R with Kelsey Kelsey vises the Raiders as

Well yeah think had four touchdowns against him in one game last season uh so I suspect that Kelsey will be he’ll be in L for big one yeah I’m surprised you don’t have Kelsey on your team but he would be a good player I don’t have

Any good players who your tight end in this leag he’s gotus he going put whoever it is he going to put numbers he’s got a real tight end got fryou on my bench as well I’m actually good at tight end it’s every other position well as we’re going down J he’s sandbagging

His own team his team is not that bad so we’re going down the stickman roster uh your namesake on your bench for this next man Nick Mullin who will get the start once again for the Minnesota Vikings there yeah you should be the Nick man not the against the Lions the

Vikings three home dogs that over under at 47 and a half after that massive week and I’ve been banging this Tai Chandler drum since the preseason saying he’s a better back than Alexander Madison Matthew can he banging that drum just out of curiosity on the Golf Channel that SM super

Weird it wouldn’t even be the weirdest thing I’ve done on the Golf Channel but you can you just imagine they’re just I’d really like to talk about uh his approach on 15 I know but listen Ty Chandler is the best guy in that back he’s looked explosive in the preseason

So far can he deliver an oncore I was just trying to see if Justin Watson can make the cut here but Thomas Justin Thomas yeah Justin Watson’s on the Chiefs Justin Watson howatt the man’s mind is in a blunder over yeah all right so an oncore performance SE B says he’s

Stilll how’s that all my references is like 25 years old rest in peace sebie H Seb he love SE there we go all right fair enough so we’re gonna see uh Tiger’s still a garer though right tiger is still a there you go I’ve heard of

Him yeah is it gonna be part du for Tai Chandler this week oh yeah Ty uh yeah that’s a good question uh but I just I just like the imagine of you trying to Fantasy trying to get past imagining Tyler Alia bringing a cupcake to Al Smith’s office visualization is very

Disturbing you ever seen Ted lasso yeah same sort of thing like yeah know he brings the he brings the muffins every day to Rea I think it didn’t happen and I feel like in the recent weeks Cordell Patterson then snuck him in there a couple cupcakes or two his well you want

Disturbing disturbing stat this season bejan 176 carries Tyler alir 166 yet BJ’s averaging 1.1 Yards More per carry somehow you don’t see these numbers at this point in the season it makes your head explode clearly one back’s outperforming the other all right to Tai Chandler to Tai to Tai Chandler who

You’ve been banging the drum for on the Golf Channel all year long as well number one F right here’s the uh here’s the positives of Chandler I don’t care about Alexander Madison I agree with you by the way I I noticed that I stole that from you I was watching the Golf Channel

I was like oh finally finally a name I recognize okay great I’m going to take that and I’m GNA bring that over to Fantasy fo happy hour he’s averaging over five yards per touch uh so far this season as well doubl Target Sharon two of the last four he’s a true three

Downback the concerns are Detroit right no team in the NFL allows fewer fantasy points per game to opposing running backs than the Detroit Lions they’ve given they’ve given up less than 70 uh rushing yards to running backs in four straight and so Chandler I think to me

I’m at running back 19 so I think he’s a borderline rb2 high-end Flex I agree with Jay’s point and uh Lawrence’s from earlier that you know what we saw last week I think is a bit of an anomaly they’re going to be down it’s not nearly

As easy a matchup as it was against the Bengals last week but we think he’s a good running back on a team that should score points so he’s like kind of a again lowend rb2 high end plus makes sense especially with kind of how muddled it would be depending on how

Many touches speak Chandler Madison’s G get back in it’s Francis turkot on YouTube Nico Collins Ty Chandler Jaylen Warren who John Dy he’s a he’s a golfer I’m just thinking of golfers now still in his prime as well lost year joh did in fact who forget that love John D are

We going to play Tom Watson he’s a golfer right we going to play the game and just Rand RF uh who the one on the drink Palmer Palmer I like Dr I like I like you know for the drink be hitting boy that lemonade tea joint drink as well I’m like I don’t

Know who I was like man he must gol good with the drink this tasting this good oh boy oh this is what our lives have come to drink right there okay who do we want in the flex Jaylen Warren ta Chandler n Collins Ty Chandler I think I think Ty

Chandler as well I would love for Jaylen Warren to have a huge game today because what that means is that Naji Harris who plays for uh Jak Croucher does not have a big game here I hope Ty Chandler is the answer here because uh you know he’s

Also got niik Collins but I just I think in terms of how many touches Ty Chandler uh Ty Chandler for me is the answer here niik Collins banged up backup quarterback we’ll see okay no I agree just okay what just name a random golfer then huh give me a random golfer then call

Him marawa okay there you oh yeah there you go you actually went with one who’s present Day present day among the living as well we got Festivus on the Mind area grievances will be later in the show let’s go with our Festivus Miracles this a special edition of shot for shot yeah

Yeah predictions you feel confident in so let’s te it up with Matt you what is your first first round here round one your Festivus Miracle my Festivus Miracle it’s uh all right so there we go see my little bills there you go here I’m going to tell you this going to

Happen Stefon Diggs today returns to Glory Stefon Diggs at least 100 yards and a touchdown today against the Chargers a monster game for Stefon Diggs it’s absolutely happening not only for the Buffalo Bills but for the stickman because Stefon digs of course plays for Jay Crouch’s team I

Know how this movie ends he’s playing against me he’s been bad for like five or six weeks do not worry about it Stefon Diggs is going to have a monster game today against those terrible Chargers Corners 100 yards in a tutty for Stefon it’s like a double shot you

Got in there too really tricking away the emotion in that one all right J see what you’re doing here and are you going uh sacrificing one of your own yes but he’s on my bench so it doesn’t matter Stickman no more Easton goes under two 5

And a half passing yards on my bench would be a great decision by me leaving him on my bench and uh George really giggling uh and he will go under bills are a running offense now they soak up the clock Stickman doesn’t get on the field 205 and a half hits under just

Impressive you could take a shot and pat yourself in the back at the same time well done coordin yeah my current and future the old stick man shout out to him U we talked about Jonathan Taylor earlier I’m going to go right back to him now especially with Zach Moss not

Playing I’m going to say Jonathan Taylor goes for at least 103 yards and a rushing TD not a receiving TD a rushing TD interesting Atlanta has not allowed a rushing TD to a running back all season but Matthew you alluded to it earlier their run defense not being as good

Lately they’re middle of the pack they allow chuba Herbert to go 87 yards Rashad white2 let’s go Jonathan Taylor I love your like allergic reaction around numbers that’s always a specific 0203 103 on the dot for Jonathan Taylor mine’s going to be the leading candidate

In my mind for MVP Brock pie George just hasn’t been pretty good I think he’s been great since the calendar turned in November 17 TDS just two picks since the 49ers got out of their bye I think he’s going to have 275 plus yards three plus touchdowns which he’s done five of his

Last six games against the Ravens I don’t think it matters who Brock p and the 49ers play they are rolling they are the best team in the NFL so Brock pie another monster game love it I like it I like it all right my second shot Texas

This what’s going to happen Nico Collins Nico Collins plays for the Texans plays for the stickman and I’m telling you right now I guarantee this 20 fantasy points top 20 fantasy running top 20 fantasy wide receiver probably 20 fantasy points Nico Collins who in his last two healthy games has averaged at

Le had has had at least 23 fantasy points in each of his last two healthy games no tank Dell they’re facing the Browns I get it but this game is indoors Case Keenum he knows where the bread is buttered and that’s on Jay’s team with Nico Collins I’m starting Niko kollin in

Another playoff game that I don’t care about nearly as much as this one uh so he will go off for both me but more importantly he will he will help Jay defeat me stupid Stickman n Collins top 20 wide receiver okay my next one um who’s the quarterback again jayen Jaylen

Herz breaks the all-time fantasy record no we W do that uh the Indianapolis Colts they keep rolling they beat the Atlanta Falcons your Atlanta Falcons as two and a half Point dogs this one M Five Points I’m sorry I just can’t have it Taylor H Desmond R it’s not worth

Five Points it’s not a fiveo upgrade Tay H is not a five-point upgrade on George savz I can’t have this line movement it’s insane Colts can’t be two and a half Point dogs in this game they’re better than Atlanta I agree they win agree that total don’t win up too

Interesting here’s my second one who Nei neither one of you guys have these quarterbacks on your fantasy team uh Justin fields and Kyler Murray um I I talked about this game earlier um they’ll combine for at least 94 rushing yards I’m encouraged by Kyler Murray running from 49 yards last week against

The 49ers Justin Fields has hit at least 55 rushing yards in three of his last four games so the two will combine for at least 994 not not 95 94 let’s go why why 94 that’s in my spirit it’s this festiv miracle all fesal miracles and I my shot

On my notes here so that’s how you know it’s going to happen Fair my next one I was on a home dog last week with the Seahawks beating the Eagles I’m on another home dog Vikings over the lions taking the money line there Lions two and two their last four games they

Haven’t looked great on the road recently I think the Vikings even though they’ve had seven losses by one score this year crazy Vikings stat they’ve only had one game that wasn’t decided by one score this whole season it’s been a roller coaster for Vikings fans but I

Think they’re actually going to get a home win this weekend like fair enough all right my FES ofest Miracle is that Jay’s team is so terrible and should never even be in the playoffs let alone beating me he’s going to beat me he’s going to beat me and it’s going to be on

It’s going to go here it is here’s our team 49.2 here’s the stick men against me live at noon on the that’s my team name you see us right there and you see if you’re if you can see it there on his on his screen who who does he have

On his team well I mean look at that I mean Travis etn you know he’s going to go off um uh Terry mclen probably n kollins whole thing but niji Harris I’ve made fun of Naji Harris all season long I’ve mocked Jay for having niji Harris

And so this is my come upin this is my payment this is this is how this movie is fantasy karma is a real thing and this is so na scores not one but two touchdowns two touchdowns later today by the way it’s plus a thousand on DraftKings put that money down like two

Touchdowns are coming for nij Harris as Jay and his crappy stick men defeat me live at noon on the I’m very upset I’ll be I’ll be I I I will take next week off is what I will do because I’ll I’ll be very upset about this anyway two

Touchdowns coming for na Harris go Stickman ride the stickman into the sunset all right Browning sanity continues Jake goes for 250 plus yards and a win over the steals who’s due n ner is due and we talked about how bad the Bengals run defense is yeah so it

Was yours sorry no no that’s fine I hope you’re right Matthew I hope you’re dead right on all of these no Jake Browning 250 plus yards and a win he keeps it rolling his prop is 240 it’s too low that be a for straight Victory all right

Uh my last one here going to the Miami and Dallas game I think uh like like you said Matthew D so bounce back but nothing too crazy so I’m saying both Tua and Dak Prescott will both throw for at least 281 and two touchdowns each both quarterbacks again not 280 281 booked

That how would I book him I think DraftKings on DraftKings alternate uh alternate passing lines 281 draing yeah we the offal Sports of the fantasy football pregame there you go and we know on fantasy football pregame the only man who can stop bejan Robinson Arthur Smith yeah I think this week with

Taylor hinek spin in it that bejan Robinson for three three times his last four starts hit the over at 22 and a half receiving yards I think with haniki they’re going to be throwing it a lot more the Falcons against the Colts I think this is going to be an easy cover

For bean out of the back field hopefully he gets 15 to 20 touches all right okay I dig it I’ll allow it America hopes you’re right yeah Lawrence La take a sip now it is this is for Matthew happy Festivus I will now hear your airing of fantasy

Grievances of course it’s a Festivus for the rest of us we have you know upcoming we have uh we have the Feats of Strength right uh but uh is that you and Lawrence pretty much we’re going to wrestle we’re going to wrestle we’re going to get into

Our uh unitards we’re going to grease each other up we’re just going to the sa block yeah you just roll right into football night America yeah pretty much that’s how I’m going to do it I I mean I’m just I’m trying to make Jay jealous from our One Night in Buffalo

All right here we go so uh Lawrence is now officially at the poll yeah I’m at the poll I ain’t voting but I am airing my grievances for this year fantasy you see how Matthew and Jay they get to talk about semifinals of our show leag I

Ain’t in at you know why cuz my first wide receiver I took in that leag was Garett Wilson you know why I took Garrett Wilson cuz I thought he was going to be with Aaron Rogers but guess what he wasn’t he’s not even with Zack Wilson now now he’s with Trevor Simeon I

I picked Bree Hall in a lot of leagues too so Aaron roders you know him going down just really took all my Christmas hopes away for any Jets players that I had hoped for um it wasn’t Alan Lazar though uh just Bree Hall you know uh Garrett Wilson um you know maybe some

Sometimes just started T Tyler conin but not really I’m just really upset right now that you know I couldn’t get more out of Garrett Wilson and breee Hall just this up and down Merry Go Round type of fantasy points Bree Hall ain’t rush for more than 50 yards since week

Five like it’s a struggle man and I just can’t like I can’t take it no more like it’s the second worst thing to me uh besides what’s going on with the Falcons right now so um speak your truth yeah yeah I ain’t got nothing else to say

Right now I I ain’t got nothing else to say but after this break we’ll get back to more Fantasy Football Talk and goodness but we like the Jets against the Washington commanders oh he’s no George savus I’ll tell you that good Lord welcome back to Fantasy Football pregame

Normally we’re leading you up to the start of the early games on Sunday with this being a special Saturday Festivus Edition we’re going to show you the injury updates for both Saturday and Sunday and you see at the top of the list CJ strad with that concussion out

For the second straight week Kenny picket Zack Wilson other quarterbacks who are out Zach Moss I’m curiosity if he’d play but no it’s going to be Jonathan Taylor lead back without having to worry about splitting any carries with Zach Moss ke and Allen out again Jamar Chase with that shoulder out

Christian Watson doubtful Jaden Reed tow chest is questionable and some other names to keep go keep going on it’s on and on and on it’s that type of time of year now week 16 we Levis questionable Ken Walker questionable Alexander Madison questionable with that ankle how about

Deont Foreman you were talking about the trio in the bearish backfield it could just be a Duo Lawrence deont Foreman questionable with a personal reason something to keep an eye on for sure Davian Wix who’s been a popular pickup he’s questionable with that ankle injury appears though that he should play deep

League waiver ads and these are players available and over 40% % of leagues Taj Spears Tyler I was going to say Taj Spears honestly seems like every week he the name that we have t pregame yeah well we got one guy up there in Foreman who uh might not

Play there yeah deont Foreman is questionable with that personal reason how about Chase Brown has had some explosive plays you wonder Jay how many touches though he’ll get in that backfield with Joe Mixon at Pittsburgh yeah certainly and Chase Brown he’s a player who is I think very dependent on

Explosive plays which he can do that is his type of game but he’s going to need to to house a screen pass like he did against Indianapolis or something like that to really justify being started yeah I mean you’re you’re who you talking about Chase Brown Chase Brown I

Agree I was going to say I I agree with that although he’s been mixing more in and the Steelers do struggle against pass catching running backs so he becomes interesting I have a gut call on this one and you know I’m going back to my guy lawren telling me that

Arizona Chicago might be more Fant FY friendly than you think kind of interested in Deontay foran I get it he was brutal last week brutal against the Browns but he to the extent they’ve had anyone had success in the running game it’s been Foreman against Arizona like couldn’t you see

Somebody from Chicago having a big game against Arizona in the Run game and it’s not you like that match up like you love it when it’s one running back right um and if they get near the goal line your bet is that it’s going to be Deontay

Foreman uh getting that touch if plays and it was nice of our producer Steven to make sure the pride of the stickman one of the clutch late season pickups for Jay here and Joshua Palmer still available in more than over 40% of leagues wide receiver 39 very much

Enjoyed Palmer last week taking his four targets four targets for I believe 113 yards and a touchdown from memory and his receiving prop on DraftKings today is set at 39 a half I think that is too low just because he is their number one one wide receiver they are 12 and 1 Half

Point dogs presumably they will have to throw and he’s in a dome against the bills pass defense that not withstanding their performance against Dallas has struggled a bit and now is down Mah Hyde 39 and a half’s just too low now there is a chance that Josh pal just

Completely disappear that’s why I like betting some Al lines on Josh Palmer to ride the 70 plus I like that by the way before also on that screen with Tyler Boyd Steelers have allowed the fifth most yards to the slot I am starting Tyler Boyd against the stickman today

Quarterbacks and tight ends to stream you see Browning I assume most leagues he got to be gobbled off I can’t believe you see QB 14 Nick Mullen right behind him at 15er throwing another name not pictur Taylor hinek is in just 6% rostered on Yahoo leagues and then the

Trio of tight ends Fri MTH Hunter Henry and Tucker craft Hunter Henry’s been uh R red hot to your point about Tucker craft he since since Luke Musgrave went on IR he’s been a top 12 tight end three of the last four weeks and so and again

No we don’t expect Jaden Reed or Christian Watson to play for the Packers so they’re down a bunch of pass catchers Daven Wicks should have been on that uh that deep League waiver wire wide receiver ad to dant Wick is gonna have himself a nice game feel like our

Fashion critics should re he’s also questionable too Wix is Wix is yeah but I think he’s expected to play Jade Reed is not expected to play Joseph Garcia look at this Lawrence with a Jolly Rancher green pants yeah you already know well this is the same color you

Know is the Grinch who’s my favorite Christmas character so I didn’t want to wear the whole yeah I’m like that sad no it’s actually have you ever seen the Grinch’s beautiful smile uh wouldn’t describe that that’s not the adjective I would use but um it’s been getting a run

Lately at the uh Joseph Garcia I just wanted to go like half of the grin I got the green socks on to the match so I’m all the way down with it appreciate you all right well you why don’t you answer this one what do you got green

Pants not nice nice dton King Kade or Tucker craft at Carolina standard PPR Mar Chrysler non PPR Mary Chrysler and happy Honda days okay he riding he riding clean his Jose yeah um yeah I would uh I would go Dalton Kade here against this uh lowly Chargers defense

Even though you know Matthew you just talked up craft and you know rightfully so but you also mentioned how Carolina’s defense overall has been playing uh decent as of late so just going with the uh the better quarterback the better offense and probably at this point the better tight end versus that charers

Defense D King Kate King Kate has I mean it’s a closer question than you think just because canc hasn’t been as good since Dawson Knox came back one thing the Chargers Do Do Well is defend the tight end having said all that I’m with you just I think there’s more points

Scored on the bills offense better quarterback better offense uh I’m with I’m with you another question here on YouTube from David pettin need two running backs and a flex full PPR Josh Jacobs Devon Singletary James Conor Jaylen Wadd deont Johnson Jen War oh Jaylen Warren pardon me jsn hash FF prame

Hash peacocky the drunk peacock yeah that’s my that’s my idea for a mascot for the show is peacocky that’s like art to Ego yeah he’s like he’s he’s the drunk peacock peacocky he’s like the cousin like peacock is like you know our our beloved you know the h symbol bradc

America drunk Dr our guy our guy is like his his drunk cousin who’s bitter because peacock gets all the you know he’s the he’s the good son he’s the you know so you’ll be peacocky if you lose to Jay this week it’s like uh mufas and

Scar off the line there you go that’s exactly right exactly is Mufasa um that’s exactly right okay uh I’m going I think you gotta go I think you have it uh ranked correctly so I think it’s I think it’s Josh Jacobs and Devin single ter and uh I don’t want either I don’t

Want either of the Steelers honestly with Mason Rudolph actually I think you your first three guys there I get it with jsn against Tennessee but I would go J I would go Jacob single ter Connor just based on uh you know massive amount of Touches for those three guys I agree

With that Connor had a good week against the ners last week yes did it was a bunch of junk time and I don’t think they’ll have junk time against uh the Chicago Bears I think they’ll be closer but just volume of work like I don’t know that’s just a jayen ward Deontay

Johnson and Pickins just to be honest I think with Connor I think Chicago is an easier match up than San Francisco just because Chicago’s run defense being uh so good San Francisco they had no defensive tackles in that game so I mean it’ll be a bit tougher for Conor but you

Still I think you have to like him more than uh those last four guys I would agree by the way you know who else is a golfer Bryson D Shambo yes yes he is someone just text you that one no I just just that one came up to

Me just R 35 minutes later no I just a I’m I’m going to keep bringing UPL of course yes yes yes him I’ve heard of yeah sure sure Phil melson yeah Phil exactly he’s a memorable name oh snap who you say pH what was I about to say

Jack Nichol that’s a jack Nichol Jack Nichols goldar nichas yeah that’s that’s that’s mine Greg Norman viewers are Be Wondering or just tuning why are they shouting random golf random golfers random old golfers I like random old golfers historically there you go wow you’re digging deep now we’ve kept

Fantasy football pregame a non-con show we do have the Feats of Strength yes so we we’ll label it this week for propa shot brought to you by our friends at DraftKings this can be our quote unquote Feats of Str no no no hang on hang on

Hang on what are you doing give me a second what are you doing stop before we do this here’s what we’re doing hang on oh okay look we’ve got if we’re doing Feats of Strength let’s do actual Feats of Strength here let me uh oh here we go

Oh no yeah here’s this bad boy here’s this championship belt for the commanders that will never ever on that belt oh yeah well just you got to blow the dust off from the 91 Super Bowl this will never happen but what you have to do is you now have to it’s heavy it’s

Very very heavy you have to throw it around your shoulder when you do the when you do the proper shot yeah whatever whatever you want like I haven’t thought that much about it to be perfectly honest but I’m just saying like just like run throwing shower

Because yeah Fe a strength there we go so there you go there more of a degree of difficulty like you got like a little fake pass coming out us just passing around there’s a pizza strength here we go pesus it’s a pesus miracle go ahead touch

Nice go I think that actually ate it like take a b Take a Bow that’s going to be tough to top yeah no one Stu all right all right George I can’t let you get away with this no chance I’m going to be the man today I’m going Lefty all right to be

The man you got to beat the man no I’m not a lefty all right put your six foot I wanted that all right let’s give it to bring that over this there’s no other purpose for this Washington Commander Championship Bel mud wrestling let’s go let’s go let’s go

Well done there we go okay strength everyone when two people make it and I don’t I just say we win 50% as a team yeah there you go 500 do that okay we have a special spin this week from Kings these are all going to be fantasy football props standard

PPR Point totals here so we have Joe mix in over under for people but just so people know yeah cuz you can’t play this on you can play this on DraftKings but only in select states do do you have the list of states that would be appropo timing for

Me to have that list I’m looking in our rundown and I don’t currently see that I just want for anyone that like whis draftking sports book we love DraftKings here and you’re looking to bet on fantasy points over under you can do that in a number of states but not all

The states so if it’s not available in your state and you’re like what the hell that’s why just so you know yes write your legisl write your legislature legislators write your legislators take to the streets pick it you know like you know rally against this Injustice bring

Your poll yeah bring your PO or you could just if you can’t bet on it you just know like whether or not the player that you have have to start uh will have this amount of points so there’s that to it as well the other way the other way

To do it by the way and just something else to think about for you and your family why don’t you just move move to a state where like that’s gambling compliant that’s the best thing hon that’s the that’s honestly the that’s yeah all right we’re going to start here

With Jay yes Joe Mixon uh over on the 13.25 fantasy points I’m taking the over like the Bengals in this game I think with touchdown Equity he gets there also think there’ll be plenty of dump offs to Joe uh with Jamal ch give me the over Deontay Johnson over under 10 fantasy

Points yeah now look it’s it’s a little scary there with Mason Rudolph we do not know what to expect but Deontay Johnson has three straight games of at least 13 fantasy points so someway somehow he’ll hit the over and I have more faith in him doing that than George Pickins

Deontay is starting to round in to form another guy who’s been in a absolute beast in the fantasy football playoffs James Cook his number through DraftKings 14.75 you taking the over I’m taking I’m taking the over since Joe Brady took over as the offensive coordinator on

This team in week 11 he’s averaging 24.1 fantasy points per game he’s had at least 16 fantasy points in all four games during this stretch so he’s hit this number in four straight by the way over the last month the Chargers allowed the fourth most fantasy points to

Opposing running backs give me the over on 15.75 fantasy points James Cook if you’ve been listening this week on fantasy football happy hour you been high on T Higgins his number for fantasy points 12.25 yep too low in my opinion I’m taking the over here had eight targets

Last week from Jake browny here’s the clear number one wide receiver in this offense now against Pittsburgh team that has no safeties left at all so give me the over on T Higgins uh sticking with the Bengals here Jake Browning his fantasy points at 16.25 that’s the number Lawrence yeah

Then and the reason he’s going the reason T Higgins is going to hit his over is because Jake bry’s going to hit the over on this 16.25 why he scored over 20 points in three straight games uh from a fantasy perspective and I just think overall as

A offense and as a team they continue to roll like Jay aka the stick man say so and of course as we pivot to Matthew here another Stickman line the over under is at 16 Diggs Stephon Diggs of Jay Stickman he’s going over this he’s doubling this is what he’s doing he’s

Doubling it he’s doubling it he’s going to he’s going to make me cry my sleep um look he’s he’s had a 30% Target share in back-to-back games under 50 receiving yards in both of those games that’s too weird he’s too good this offense is too good for him to get

A 30% Target share and not get over 50 yards Chargers have allowed the third most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers Stefon Diggs is due and he’s playing against me just some things are meant to be give me the over on 16 points yeah I I like that 100% I was

Looking you had that don’t Ru for J on Thursday I think digs 50 he’s at plus 400 to go over 110 yeah I like that that’s too that’s too big of a price yeah that’s endorsed approved all right swinging it back around the horn and of course you’re

Just denigrating East stick once again fantasy points over under 13.75 yeah I’m going to take the under on 13.75 think the bills as I mentioned before with their rushing offense and how well they dominated the clock Dak press got 134 passing yards last week and again they’re trailing the entire

Time to give me the under on as stick all right and uh let’s keep it moving here Lawrence Austin Eckler in that Chargers game over under 13.25 uh stickman’s teammate stickman’s running back Austin Eckler that’s part of the reason why I’m going to say he’s going under don’t know how this offense is

Going to move versus the bills actually I do know and I think we all know um Austin ecklers hit this number uh once in his last five games in his last five games Games Austin EA has a total of 174 rushing yards that’s scary to go up against his build defense I’m saying

Under for our guy Austin ekler yeah I agree I’m totally yeah buying that 100% Matthew Josh Allen fantasy points his over under you see that difference from East stti his lines at 23 I’m actually taking the under here as well in three of the four games since Joe Brady took

Over as the coordinator he’s been under 23 fantasy points uh and the Chargers you know I I’m worried there’s a defensive touchdown here I think they run the ball effectively I don’t think there there I think there’s a chance Josh Allen doesn’t play the fourth quarter in this game so give me the

Under on 23 fantasy points for Josh Allen all right don’t forget on draftking sports book this season of course customers can bet $5 pocket 150 in bonus bets instantly plus all customers can get a no sweat same game parlay every day download the app and use the promo code Barry when you sign

Up draftking Sportsbook the crown is yours the floor is yours J Croucher for your airing of grievances yes okay George here’s my grievance I’ve attached my good name my previously good name to Naji Harris who I literally have uh random dads at my daughter’s preschool

Coming up to me and asking if I’m the Naji Harris guy and I’m not I’m not the Naji Harris guy because you’ve been rb30 on the season I talked you up in preseason Naji I took you in the sixth round I thought that was a tremendous

Value no not a tremendous value quite a bad value RB 30 on the season I need more from you Naji we can whisk away all the bad times and you can redeem yourself by going off today please give me something Naji give me a couple of touchdowns give me some receptions

Anything we need to take down Matthew we need to end his reign of tyranny and you need to give me back something for everything that I’ve given you in terms of kindness along the way all right we are going to break when we come back Matthew’s rankings I don’t think Naji

Harris ranks very highly in them but we’ll get through all of them let me keeping it moving on this Saturday edition of fantasy football pregame Matthew Barry Lawrence Jackson J Croucher and I’m George savus are QB rankings 1 through 10 Patrick Mahomes against the Raiders I’ve heard of him

You have him at number five expectations this week Matthew yeah I think they should be high first off since the start of 2020 2021 Patrick Mahomes just absolutely kills the Raiders right he’s averaging almost 25 fantasy points per game against Las Vegas he’s had at least 20 points in

Five of his last six games against them Raiders have allowed 250 passing yards and at least two touchdown passes and three of their past four games here this is one that the Chiefs need the Chiefs need to get back on track I know they won last week but it didn’t look great

Against New England they need a off they need a game that makes them feel like Hey we’re rolling on all cylinders divisional rival I think has a monster game he’s my quarterback five this week who are you looking at je looking at Brook pie now he is in a way I think the

Most important player in the NFL this week just because he can lock up MVP if he plays well and they beat the Ravens then I think it will just be case closed I’m a little bit nervous for Brock in that his insane stretch these past couple of months has mostly come against

Suspect pass defenses think about his games against the Bucks the Jags the Cardinals the Eagles who don’t have good pass defense now he probably his best game of the entire season was against Dallas who have a really strong pass defense it was on the ground they struggled against Buffalo but the Ravens

Are a legit defense and if you were to build a defense in a lab to stop the Niners it would probably be baltimores at the same time I think the Niners are probably just too good and it doesn’t matter what defense he put on the other

Side but this is going to be I mean this is a referendum on Brock p on Monday night with it all on the line say it could be a referendum on tour bit against the Cowboys Lawrence yeah you know he had to listen to a lot of people

Say what he couldn’t do without Tyreek Hill after that game against the Titans and from a real perspective you know he he played so well against the Jets defense that he had people downgrading the Jets defense which is a top five unit and when you look at them going

Against Dallas here they Dallas went against Josh Allen who didn’t have to be a top quarterback last week uh Jaylen Herz and the Eagles fumbled the ball away from them but you look at Gino Smith was quarterback one against this Cowboys defense Sam Howell was quarterback 10 against this uh Cowboys

Defense recently so I think this is a chance for you know Tua to just stack another solid game because now he has Tyreek back and uh now you got like he’s got all the guys back aan in the back field so offensively weapons wise they’re fully loaded not on the line but

It’ll be good enough for him to do well moving it on 11 through 20 and Matthew jerk Gosman Dr Jackal and Mr Hyde this season his good has been great his bad has looked frankly awful he’s now at the Vikings your thoughts on what we’re

Going to see out of him in that NFC North show out out yeah I mean listen the Vikings have been playing better right last four weeks they’re allowing Under 12 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks having said that Detroit’s team total is over 24 points and when he

Plays indoors this year Jared gos been very very good he’s averaging over 20 fantasy points per game now most of those have been home games but still when he plays indoors and he has time he’s uh he’s been very very effective the games in Minnesota in the dome there

And so because we think the Vikings offense will score against the Lions with your Nick Mullins I think Goff becomes there’s a little bit of risk there which is why he’s a qb2 for me but I do think he’s a higher end qb2 I’m a QB 13 all right let’s just

See the floor to you and Nick Mullin right here also in that 11 to 20 so I think Nick Mullin is bad but I think he’s bad in a way that is very conducive to Fantasy goodness in that he is not bad and it’s like like I think we’re

Going to see a lot of Mason Rudolph just going three and out later today that’s not Nick Mullins Nick Mullins marches you 50 yards down the field and then he throws a pick six but the good thing is is when he throws the pick six you get

The ball straight back and also now you’re in a game script where you have to throw more because your team is down so I think Mullen his bad play is more through turnovers and inexplicable single decisions but he can Marge you down the field and he showed that he can

Connect with Justin Jefferson Jordan Addison T.J Hawkinson so I think that it could be ugly and I thought it was ugly against the Bengals but then you look up and he’s got 22 fantasy points so I think he’s very viable against the Detroit pass defense that think has just

Got absolutely nothing has really struggled for two months now Lawrence seemingly a tough match up on paper for Sam Hall against the Jets secondary is this going to be another clunker of a performance for him or is he going to have the type of week that could be bad

Statistically but good from a fantasy standpoint you would want the one that’s bad you know you want it bad statistically but still good fantasy-wise but the last two games would tell you otherwise he’s averaging 11 completions and 25 passing attempts a game now we know that’s not been his

Game this season weeks 1 through 12 he was averaging 40 30 and a half pass intense per game and now he faces this Jets defense who allow the fewest points uh to quarterbacks in football so the only quarterbacks that even thrown for 200 yards against the Jets was Tua Josh

Allen Mahomes and Dak those are all top 10 quarterbacks so you know tread lightly Matthew has it in rankings as well question for the king of the bad QBs you’ve been kned I’ll just let you read this Jay yes from uh Devin nron question for the king of the bad QJ

Croucher which of these guys would you start in the super Flex SP lot oh this is rough Sam how case keum Trevor Simeon or Mason Rudolph also have Ken Walker and Jerome Ford for the king of the bad QBs to say this was rough it’s got to be

Really bad well I feel like so hang on but to clear what what he’s saying he’s saying would you go with Ken Walker or Jerome Ford instead of a quarterback as well right which I think is very much not usually in this when we do this we

Just rule out guys I want to rule out everyone but you can’t because you have to choose someone of the quarterbacks I I think I would still go Sam Hal even against the Jets defense just because I have no faith whatsoever in case Keenan against the Browns I don’t have any

Faith in Trevor Simeon even with the favorable matchup and then I don’t want any part of Mason Rudolph I would give serious thought to starting Ken Walker though over these quarterbacks even though you should almost never do that I think Ken Walker with what he’s showed

Now it’s a tough match up against the Titans Runde but for me Matthew it’s between Ken Walker and Sam Hal I think I would agree with that I think it is between those two it’s just hard for me to bench a quarterback I get it he’s

Playing the Jets but still I do he he’s mobile like could he run into this end zone could he get you 40 yards with his legs you know uh I don’t think it’ll be pretty but I think I’m still going with Sam how because it’s a quarterback I think the

Tie break is that the matchup isn’t great for Ken Walker if he was playing the Cardinals or something I probably would start Ken but on the road to Tennessee that’s not ideal uh as well for Ken Walker who did show up in the injury report here the one thing I also

Just say is I always love this I love when our fans like are in on the jokes and they they’ll mention you know that so anyway we I appreciate I appreciate all you guys absolutely there was there’s no airing of grievances about our fan base I will tell you that we

Have a great in the face of strength yeah yes Switching gears now to our running back ranks and James Cook has been surging late season Matthew he’s all the way up to number two at the Chargers is he going to keep it rolling against that poorest Chargers defense oh

I think does I think James will wait for it cook I’m the first person to ever make that joke thank you very much God bless back I really am five weeks in a row love it uh we’ve talked about this a lot but since Joe Brady took over as the

Offensive coordinator of Buffalo he’s the third best running back in fantasy he’s averaging 21 touches 15% Target share over that stretch over the last four weeks by the way the Chargers allowed the six most fantasy points to opposing running backs his rushing prop in terms of most attempts is at 14 and a

Half he’s hit that three of the last four I like the over on his rushing attempt like the over and everything give me James Cook today as a top three play Travis etn is Stickman let’s get to the question first here and you need four J Cooks rahee moer D Montgomery s

Digs Amon rth St brown or Jaylen Warren # FF pregame crowded question there four out of six total and a braggy question if we’re being honest with you very braggy David I don’t think this is these are really good options very very much this is a this is a flex this is an

I think it’s Montgomery and Warren out that’s what yeah it’s pretty clearcut as well honestly even though Dave Montgomery’s had an incredible season just with a time share with Gibbs I mean those are the four guys I would say this it kind of feel like it’s almost to the

Point where you need a touchdown out of David Montgomery lately that’s what it’s he’ll probably get it because he’s DAV montg to count on it jir had two last game though yeah do yeah I well though I have him he’s one of of my running backs

Against Jay and so he’s he’s not going to do anything cook me up something Bri Flores out the mon won’t do anything it’s going to be like it’ be Craig Renos for two touchdowns is what’s gonna happen I’m get I’m get it’ll be like I against Jay I have David Montgomery and

Aman Ross St Brown and watch it’ll be Jameson Williams leap pora uh like Craig Rey little Josh Reynolds Reynolds you might you going get screwed on Montgomery but St Brown Saint he going to get his he George you mentioned Travis etn doesn’t feel like Travis etn has had an

Amazing season I think because just his yards per carry his efficiency has he’s rb3 on the season Travis and I think this is going to be a very Travis etn type of game against a really strong bucks Rush defense they’re fully healthy V is back they’ve been banged up for a

While but now they are fully healthy so I think it’s going to be ugly it’s going to be like 3.9 yards per carry but you watch he’ll fall into the end zone he’ll break a little screen past the 25 yards and he’ll remain on Elite running back

Option and he’s on my team the stick man as well well is one of my only two good players with Stefon digs so I’m counting on a big game from Travis C he’s going to go off there’s no question about it you just mentioned that he was uh

Running back three well you know who’s running back two that’s 31y old Raheem uh moer you can’t bench him for the second straight week uh no I’m gonna go with him over uh over bejan Robinson I already played Kyon Williams this a league where you have to there’s no flex

So you have to go two running backs cyon Williams obviously going there but this is why why I’m not going to bench mtion again you know how we like to say sometimes oh this player has scored three out of the last four games he scored two touchdowns in three of the

Last four games and only three games this season he hasn’t scored a touchdown when Devon aan came back a week ago a couple of weeks ago we were all like yeah you know it it might lean towards his way this is still this is still Raheem Moses backfield and you know

Dallas being middle of the road when it comes to allowing points to uh running backs and fantasy we I like him very much and you do too Matthew having him as one of your top five running backs I do I do very much I listen and I

Have him on my team live at to the Cox oh you got him on that team I’m mostard yeah moard on on my team against Jay why you think he gonna lose well just if you would have draft both of our teams Matthew would have like seven of the

First eight picks I had a great draft again I this is what I’ll tell you why I’m going to lose because that’s how fantasy football works I have no business losing I have a much better team I have Aman R Brown I have CD lamb I have Raheem moer like I have Dave

Montgomery I have Jaylen Herz like I crushed this draft I have hackinson I crushed this draft like a grape the rest of you were just sitting there going like what did we do we just let Barry get every single good player I had tank

Dell late my point is is that just and I I’m I have one loss on the entire year te’s going to hot though my T is hot and Plucky it’s just it’s outr but what’s going to happen is is Jay’s going to win just because stupid David car dere Derek

Car goes off and might as well be David with all the bad quarterback I have a great team but it’s just it’s just I know how this play works I’ve seen this movie yes I we all know it’s the inevitable I mean it is it’s it’s it’s inevitable it’s like tomorrow he’s

Thanos Thanos he is all right absolutely is let’s dig into 11 through 20 it’s the Packers at Panthers chuba Hub and he’s clocking in this week at 17 he had pretty good volume the past four or five weeks man two point George averaging 23 touches a game over the last four and

He’s running back 10 in that span with the change of Frank Reich being fired they’ve committed and du Staley the running back coach leaving the team they’ve committed to chuba hubard as their guy and it’s a nice match up against the Packers as since week 10 Green Bay allows over 158 rushing yards

Per game over five yards per carry so chuba they don’t want Bryce young throwing it so just I think massive volume forba Hub places him inside my top 20 this week on the flip side Packers backfield been a hard one to really wrap your hands around this

Season a lot of hype coming in with Aaron Jones AJ Dylan Jones back healthy what are you seeing yeah um not as great as you would have liked it to be in last week when he came back um the interesting thing here will be to see if

Uh AJ Dylan as plays you if you have Jones you don’t want those touches getting messed up and weal talked about earlier how the Carolina defense has played better as of late they shut down the Falcons running game they did that but in six games prior to that they

Allowed a running back to score so I think if Aaron Jones is getting that full workload he he’s due to finish somewhere there between RB 13 and 17 and you just have to take it like without with how his Seasons went this year you will be okay with Aaron Jack Aaron Jones

Having a top 15 finish yeah Tai Chandler last week his ceiling explosive for sure what do you think his ceiling will be like this week and Alexander Madison questionable yeah I think a bit low I think Matthew made the key point that it doesn’t really matter if Alexander

Madison plays or not because Tai Chandler is going to be the guy Kevin o colell made that very clear that Madison if he plays is going to be depth he’s going to be the backup and so you can feel good about starting Tai Chandler just wouldn’t expect what he did last

Week to be repli I think that’s right wide receiver rankings and let’s get to a question first Mish Mitch very humble name right there I’m playing against the number one seed who had the likes of CMC and I’m on St Brown need a win which two

Are best for my PPR matchup Tai Chandler Josh Jacobs or Deontay Johnson FF pregame the hashtag yeah it’s the one that doesn’t have Mason Rudolph throwing to them yeah I’m gonna go with that yeah you’re starting your running backs there we expect Josh Jacobs to play Tai

Chandler we just talked up so Deontay Johnson is on the bench for me 40% we talked about him he made the hate list this week 40% of Deontay Johnson’s production over the last month have come from touchdown so it’s just how lucky do you feel do you think he gets into the

End zone with Mason Rudolph I’m not sure I I if you’re asking me to without looking at it I would bet on DraftKings you like the longest odds for Anytime touchdown would be Deontay Johnson that I would think Chandler and Josh Jacobs would have much lower odds so yeah

Unfortunately Deontay is on my team I’m genuinely considering like swapping mouth at Josh Palmer and just go hoping for a long bomb touch down or something I get that I get that that would beow that would be cowardly though that would be coward after you’ve trashed

East do that you got to put the stick man back in so you get the stack get the stack can’t do the stick stack I don’t like stick stack stick stack the stick but by the way I here’s what will happen the Steelers going to put up four

Touchdowns two to Deontay two to n Harris that’s what’s gonna happen I just not sure Mason Rudolph gets through this game a lot of people have forgotten what Mason Rudolph is I haven’t forgotten he’s not good yeah how about duck Hodes where’s where’s Bubby bris when you need

Him yeah Bruce grow I think trabis gets back in I think we say Mitch again yeah talk about the hey what’s made of Rudolph’s uh I think it’s 192 and a half like the under because the benching equity and he also might just go under just be back we got

10 more running backs to go 21 through 30 James Connor for the cards you would mentioned this on fantasy football happy hours just getting no run out of the back field when it comes to receiving yards Matthew to your point in his last five games since he returned from IR he

Has nine receiving yards that’s not per game that’s total in five games he has nine receiving yards so you’re right he’s not involved in the passing game at all George and now he’s got a tough match up against the Bears only one running back this entire year has rushed

For more than 75 yards against Chicago they’ve allowed the third Fest rushing yards per game two opposing running backs so James Conor he’s not involved in the passing game he he basically needs a touchdown you know and you’ve got Kyler Murray there who’s always a threat to kind of vulture it when they

Get around the goal line he’s running back 26 he still should get a decent amount of work in a game that should be close but don’t love him to your point he was on my hate list this week outside my top 25 feels odd having Derrick Henry

Be in this 21 to 30 range but he’s counting down his final games as a Tennessee Titan is he going to turn back the clock at all or is this going to be a limited capacity derck Henry split derck Henry um Derrick Henry I mean he

Still when he gets near the goal line um he’s the guy T sharp is clearly the guy in the receiving game uh he’s shown that over I think it was RB 15 last week but you know dere herry he he doesn’t uh he doesn’t break that long one anymore um

So you just have to hope they get to the goal line you hope will Levis plays although Ryan Tanny Hill is a suitable backup for them but you just at this point like I said about Derek U I’m sorry like I said about David Montgomery earlier it’s getting to the point now

Where you need that touchdown out of Derrik Henry so that’s where that’s where I’m at with that and that’s a true professional I just went Omaha audible on him and off the cuff he’s able to spin it with Derk Henry we got I’ll take DeAndre Swift yeah let let’s with

DeAndre Swift he has to be one of the most frustrating running backs in fantasy history because if he gets if he gets legged at the one or the two you know he’s not getting the touchdown you know it’s just the ters every time and so he basically and there’s not enough

Volume he doesn’t get work in the passing game and I think that really what you need him to be doing is to be breaking like 20 yard touchdown runs it’s just very difficult to depend on that now he does have a favorable match up against the Giants but still just the

Context of that offense it just all works against Swift yeah it does I mean so I mean Swift is to your point like he’s an rb2 because you you hope he gets in the end zone but to get into the end zone he needs to run it in from five or

Six yards out because when they get in within the three they’re going with the brotherly shove with the tush push the bush push whichever you want to call it um but uh yeah so he’s very frustrating like again if no if if if he’s not scoring touchdowns and he’s not involved

In the passing game it’s like you know he could have a great game you know he could he run for 85 yards and you’re like oh 8.5 yard you know 8.5 points like anything he’s good at falling down right in front of the goal line though

He’s very good at that doing that like a pro by the way Brooks kepka also a golfer yes just you know I just want to bring that up m still riding that heater yeah receiver rankings we got a rookie that’s cracked the top 10 here on the

Chiefs and he’s not exactly looking like a rook this part of the Season as we have rushy rice at number seven very quietly over the last month Rashid rice is the fifth best wide receiver in fantasy football coming off a game in which he had a 95% route participation

That is a season high for him last four games he’s had at least seven receptions every game he’s had a 30% Target share we love this match up against the Raiders for Patrick Mahomes and who’s he looking to he’s looking to Kelsey he’s looking to Rashi rice I rashy rice is a

Top eight play this week he has become we talked about this throughout the year Rashid rice is going to be a thing all the underlying metrics are there and now the underlying metrics are now above board and we’re like oh here’s all the good stuff it’s all the underlying

Metrics have turned into actual fantasy production love me some rashy rice on Sunday better late than ever with that one any injury concerns with Michael Pitman coming back this week and he’s in the top 10 they don’t have no concerns I don’t have no concerns he’s wide

Receiver five since week 10 on a points per game basis he was on his wait to having a monster game uh last week four for 78 left early in the second quarter still managed to be wide receiver 30 on the week and in a game versus Atlanta

Where that game total is moving up a little bit love him even more I think he came in as one of this season is one of the more underrated players now becoming one of the top receivers uh in the league just a random thing on Pitman so he cleared concussion protocol but he

Has listed questionable with a shoulder injury which is different now styken said we’re glad to have him back so it seems like he’s going to play but just I wouldn’t be in like I don’t think he’s 100% to go whereas it felt like he was can’t set itet it true just check

Tomorrow morning but I it try it feels like he’s going to play feels like he’ll gut it out this is too important a game for the Colts Dennis joha on YouTube Happy FES of us to it all at # FF pregame need to pick one wide receiver

Full PPR Higgins Pitman or Godwin go Stickman you know what screw you Dennis you Dennis Michael Pitman is your play I’m I’m not weighing in on this yeah that’s fine go ahead Michael pit hope T Higgins out scores Pitman how about them apples Dennis OA uh we’ll keep the ball right here

With Jay AJ Brown and the Eagles you wonder what Devonte Smith if he’s gonna be out I mean Devonte Smith came out today and it’s reported he said I am playing or the expectations are but it’s it’s never know till you get there and he could be less than 100% yeah

Absolutely and with J Brown it feels like he’s been on the come down a little bit he hasn’t matched the heights of that insane stretch where he’s just getting 125 plus receiving yards every game but at the same time past three weeks he’s seen 36 targets he just

Hasn’t been bringing them in he’s been so close think about the play that ended the game against the Eagles with the Seahawks with Julian love making that interception that was a deep ball to AJ Brown and just those those kind of 50-50 moments that he was getting earlier in

The season he hasn’t been getting this time but you would expect that he should light up the giant secondary sticking with wide receiver moving on to 11 through 20 and DJ Moore if you have Justin Fields thrown to him you know he’s going to be just peppered with targets and he’s at number

13 Matthew you’re buying this hype that Lawrence had with this over under in the 40s for Bears Cardinals to your point about Justin Fields looking for DJ Moore since he returned Justin Fields DJ Moore has a 33% Target share Arizona is a bottom five defense in terms of

Receptions they are bottom five defense in terms of yards and they are bottom five defense in terms of most touchdowns allowed to Perimeter wide receivers in short there are many bad stats around the Arizona Cardinals and their lack of Defense to Perimeter wide receivers DJ Moore plays in the perimeter therefore

Her to airo DJ Moore it’s a top 15 play bingo bango e plur pluram Air 2 is that a not the haircut yeah no it’s just no it was just about uh you know just legal ease obviously you know God there you know therefore you know whereas go go he

Is this yes go he go would it do was had could easily see 100 yards top 15 play for DJ Moore he’s have such a good game people going to be like I bet he plays for the stickman he does not he does not Brandon

Auk for the 49 he’s on my other he’s on another playoff team for me though magic Cooter dust glad enough to play yeah magic Cooter dust yeah that’s the name of my team sneak that in there is magic cter dust you got some names very well

Magic Coter dust just so you know this is a it’s a longtime keeper league with also again some buddies over at ESPN uh but magic Cooter dust is what Jim Bob Cooter sprinkled over his offense back in the day is that magic Cooter dust that made it all all go and I’ve just

And I’ve won some championships with that team so I’ve just I’ve kept the name magic cter dust DJ Moore is starting for magic cter dust this week um in Australia we call home runs in baseball we call them Jim Bob cudas I like it yeah well in Australia it’s like

Main four of my Australian friends and I thoughted it because I speaking for the entire my everything I know about Australia comes from two things you and the crocodile d d movies so which you wrote which I wrote one of them that’s right I did the third and best one yeah

Th% my entire Australian by the way my entire Australian research that went into writing the third one was just watching the first two yes yes by the way while on my phone like kind of paying attention in the back like not really you know oh that’s okay with

49ers do you think they have a true number one or is it a 1 a 1B with 1 a 1 b 1 c 1 D if you want to throw KD and mcaffrey in there as Welling options I think Brandon auk though he has a pretty

High floor he is the guy that P has the best connection with over all those other guys and also this Baltimore secondary yes it’s fome yes they have the number two pass defense in the NFL you can still throw on Baltimore like mayew Stafford he lit them up Joe bar

Before he got hurt he was lighting them up too so I think the will have success and iuk will be the beneficiary Lawrence huge week last week for Jaylen wad with Tyreek Hill out obviously Tyreek is back but he is back you you you feeling another big game 100

Plus yards maybe definitely anytime you got these two guys they’re both live to be a wide receiver ones any given week even the three previous games without Tyreek Hill Jay Jaylen W was averaging 81 and a half receiving yards on six catches so that’s with Tyreek so there

Still going to have to throw they’ll still get it done standard scoring flip five on UT YouTube be or Wadd and I’m going Wadd go we know what’s going to we know what’s going to happen with Jaylen w we don’t know what’s going to happen with bejan Robinson in that offense so go

With what you know right bejan Robinson by the way having a monster week this week after eliminating all of his managers lastek because of his stupid lookit you know that’s what going to happen that’s so many consolation games uh is be Robinson going to go off on proud recipients of

Fifth place or that a Falcons hat because it looks like an Alabama hat this is actually a Braves hat yeah just yeah but it look doesn’t it look like an Alabama hat like like the a is very similar you would know that it can be mistaken sometimes I just like to get

All the other team’s colors but the actual Atlanta a confusing yesus I like to I feel like I’m going to talk to my friends over with the tide and say uh Hey Crimson Tide so you go sue you should sue them for a copyright infringement yeah keco actually plays I

Think a better idea would be for you to just get like a green hat with the Alabama Crimson Tide a on it and then people like hey man where you get that hat from I’m Matthew Barry I’m the only one who could get this hat I like that I

Like that that sounds good all right got to match your pants yes yeah we’re going to go no huddle for these next 10 receivers 21 through 30 uh Jordan Addison and the Vikings have the Lions at home and what do we uh expecting out of him after that big game last week

Yeah I mean I hope we see a little bit of something because I need him against Jay last week he had a 19% Target share that was the highest in a game with Jefferson active this season it is worth noting over the last four weeks Detroit bottom 10 and fantasy points per game

Allowed to wide receivers so hopefully if Nick Mullins does throw a touchdown pass it is to Jordan Addison I think Jefferson will get his but Addison my wide receiver 20 three it’s a high in Flex Lawrence what’s Z flowers dialing up I like him wasn’t good last week but

He’s been consistent before that San Francisco is the seven only the 17th best at aine fantasy points to receivers like him to bounce back this week as well yep also got Drake London uh who comes in at number 29 I think the Taylor H here that’s good news for Drake London

I don’t think these Colts Corners have much prayer against London either in an offense that should be throwing more than previously 31- 40 Adam thel is going to reappear Matthew yeah um no I mean he’s going to reappear and that he’ll play the game but should he

Reappear in your lineup I don’t think so since week eight he’s just wide receiver 47 on a points per game basis P Panthers have a bottom three team total this week he’s wide receiver 34 for me again over the last uh since week eight he’s averaging under 45 yards a game could be

A big spot for Tyler bour withar Chase out Tyler Boyd pardon me yeah it’s it’s that’s always the case when you’re missing either either Jamar Chase or t Higgins Tyler boy usually comes in there and gives you some wide receiver 2ish borderline wide receiver three numbers Josh Palmer in the stickman yes Josh

Palmer who I’ve probably going to bench but he is wide receiver one in a dome in a game uh where the charges are 12 and a half Point underdogs and Michael Heyde is out for Buffalo so he is high variance if you need a Hail Mary then

You can do worse than Josh Palmer tight end rankings David nooku has looked phenomenal with Joe flacko throwing to him Matthew Flaco made three starts David joku has gotten 28 Targets in that game he scored three touchdowns he’s averaging over 19 points per game Texans bottom five in terms of most receptions

And yards allowed to tight ends and joku a tied end four for me this week how we feeling with Evan Ingram Lawrence uh feeling pretty good especially because Trevor Lawrence is more than likely GNA play Tampa Bay allows the six most fantasy points to tight ends he did he

Faced Baltimore last week who is top three against tight ends but the previous two games for that he had 20 catches 117 yards and three touchdowns we like him a lot this week and what do you got Jay Travis Kelce is a disappointing week for him against New

England but the three weeks prior he topped 80 yards in all those games he lights up the Raiders I’m sure there are some people who maybe have Kelsey uh they’re choosing between him and leap Porter or him and joku Travis Kelsey starts over everyone he’s still the best tight end in

Football all right here’s Mike grievance and I got a lot to get off my chest here I know my fantasy football team each and every year is going to flame out in the final four short of a championship I’m going to focus on my Chicago Bears who

Have become a national pinata it seems like every national televis game they are ripped to shreds with some stat that we haven’t seen in NFL history from top down from ownership to the head coach they’re a laughing stock Matt Eber flu has to go the Bears are 8 and 23 with

Him as head coach two and N against the NFC North they’ve blown three double digigit fourth quarter leads so far this season that’s tied for the most in NFL history twice in the last four weeks they’ve had three or more interceptions they’ve lost both those games ever flu

Is an absolute disaster the Bears since 2000 in their front office they’ve only signed five of their first round picks to a second contract the last one was in 2014 those are just the symptoms the disease is the Bears ownership the co-founders of the NFL the m

Have owned the Bears since 1920 since 1992 the Bears have made the playoffs seven times since I graduated college in 2007 just three times they’re board of directors five of seven are masy family members just please please a Festivus Miracle sell the team burn it all down

Yeah what would it take for you to start these players how drunk you got to be well a lot of drinking around the holidays yes annoying family very very topical Deontay Johnson for the Steelers Matthew how many beers I want three beers like I mean look Mason Rudolph do

I need to say more than that like I I’ve talked about this before 40% of his fantasy points over the last three weeks have come from touchdowns I don’t think he gets in the touchdown the only way he gets into the end zone is if Jay starts

Him against me other than that odd say that I don’t think he will is as well six straight games with four or fewer receptions the volume hasn’t been there it’s been all kind of inflated by touchdowns I want three beers to start Deontay Johnson healthy little buzz

There t Higgins for you and the Bengals um I would need just one beer to start T Higgins he had two touchdowns last week now there’s no Jamar Chase I don’t think he gets much simpler than that not surprising and we got niji Harris there two beers for Naji Harris I will be

Starting Naji Harris with my two beers just the Bengals Rush defense is soad DJ reer out as well I suspect that Naji will have a decent shot at getting in the end zone next match up Washington at the New York Jets and Matthew Bree Hall what’s it going to take for you honestly

One beer like just and I’m sipping on it I’m nursing it it can be a non-alcoholic beer I’m starting Bree Hall I’m as running back eight look Washington’s allowed 100 yards of scrimmage to a running back in CED straight games every running back that’s seen at least 12 touches against my terrible commanders

Has scored a touchdown Trevor simeon’s going going to be dumping off quite a bit big workload coming for Bree Hall in a great match up just one beer literally like a no duels who cares like seriously girl nothing just yeah all right J Croucher Garrett Wilson just one B for

Garrett Wilson Trevor Simeon bad news Washington command of secondary good news I think you just have to startop Wilson against that secondary regardless of whose quarterback is Scary Terry went off last week but we got a tough jet secondary here how many yeah and that

Was his best game of the season but it took jacobe Bret coming in to do it 93 of those 141 yards was wh per set and then like you said you add in the fact that the Jets allow the fewest points to receivers I need at least three beers

For that one next uh matchup we have here Cleveland on the road at Houston Devin single ter he’s had some large large weeks how how many beers would you need here Matthew for single Terry to be one of your running back just two beers what I’ve liked about the um uh what

I’ve liked about Devin single ter is just the volume right uh he got got 30 touches last week second time that he’s gotten 30 touches with case keen on Center they went to the Run game they went heavy on it as well in the last two weeks he’s gotten 76% of the team’s

Running back touches doesn’t feel like they’re using Damen Pierce at all he’s my running back 23 in a tough matchup so just two beers lot of volume okay Lawrence you got Amari Cooper here how many beers um just one for me with Amari Cooper He’s the wide receiver 12 and

Total fantasy points over his last two games averaging 16.8 in that in that span FL goes done thrown the ball 45 times a gain that’s not an exaggeration that’s literal in averaging 313 passing yards in all his starts and Amari Cooper is number one guy just one beer fla’s

Going to need offseason Rotator cuup surgery facing which chucking it around I’m facing a bud you as Jerome Ford he’s pretty uneasy about having to start him this week how many beers would you need to kind of calm the nerves three beers for Jerome for tough match up Houston

Have a much better run defense than pass defense fans I understand he was only 8 for 20 last week but drone Ford is still probably the single most likely guy in this game to score a touchdown all right we’re going to uh transition out of pickup lines that was six beers for

Matthew and this is the part of show brought to you by DraftKings where Matthew Barry roll reversal as the bell of the ball and we have Lawrence and J bring this home trying to pick him up instead of Matthew what was your Heyday in garbage time that’s when you were

Doing all your work back then yeah closing time was always m let it be known that I’ve definitely had a lot to drink at this point here so let’s just put that out there first but Matthew Bree Hall you just talked them up really nice there now he hasn’t

Rushed for more than 50 yards way back since week five it’s been a struggle for the Jets offense all season but now they they’re facing your commanders and all I’m asking is that you believe in me because I believe in Reese Hall that he’ll rush for at least 60 yards alt

Line you know I’m an ALT guy UH 60 yards at plus 145 check check it out week week 15 KY Williams 152 basically they’re they’re a top uh they’re a bottom five rushing defense there you go okay I like that one a lot that’s wrong I agree uh

That’s tough to top I’ll try to do it anyway Calvin Ridley over 55 a half receiving yards with the news that Trevor Lawrence is in Christian Kirk obviously out Z Jones in some significant doubt now Ridley his production hasn’t been super impressive he has 25 targets over the past 2 weeks

That is an insane volume and now he goes up against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers secondary who are the ultimate pass funnel that defense cuz they’re really good against the Run terrible against the pass and just with Lawrence back there now the number one wide receiver by margin on the Jacksonville Jaguars

Can’t be set at 55 and a half receiving yard so give me the over on that uh I like both those picks I’m going with Lawrence like anytime you can bet on my commanders to not do something that’s a safe bet Bree Hall at plus money for 60

Yards I like that quite a bit so and now we have an airing of grievances Matthew make your way up to the stage all right we need to cue the dramatic music for the walk up I don’t know how dramatic this is going to be I think you guys all

Know I think the Airing of Grievances doesn’t just happen on Festivus it also happens it also happens on uh every single day because Arthur Smith is a bane to my existence he’s a bane to the existence of every fantasy manager he’s a bane to Common Sense in the NFL it’s

Not just about oh you fantasy players you didn’t get your no no no no you use the eighth overall pick on a running back in a league of the D values running back when you had a thousand yard rusher in Tyler Alger already on your team and

You had a lot of other holes so my point is is that either either you completely mismanaged your roster on draft day or you completely are mismanaging your team and either bejon Robinson is the best guy in your running back room and you get him the ball or if he’s not the best

Guy in your running back room then you completely effed up uh you know your draft selection by the way oh Kyle pittz and Drake London also guys that went of the first 10 picks of their respective years they can’t get the ball as well how dare you you’re going back and forth

Between hinei and Ritter for the love of God like and you by the way thank God the NFL finds you $25,000 for lying to all of us you cheater right you know like you cheated and I’m glad the NFL caught you and caught the Falcons as well because oh

Bejon Robinson had a migraine all I know is I had a first place team in a 16 Team league and that lost last week because bejon Robinson got literally negative fantasy points also the guy was playing had James Cook and uh rahee oer but still I’d have had a chance if bejon

Robinson did what he normally should have done Arthur Smith it’s Festivus is no longer Festivus it’s now Arthur Smith day all we do every year is we air a grievance about Arthur Smith when we come back I might have more fantasy footall pregame rolls on here here damn it

Bring it on home this is uh last call and the bar trivia standings Matthew Barry yes some might say commanding lead over a heart charging Jake Croucher Lawrence what happened last week way too way way too aggressive trying to go after Barry in second now easily in

Third so now I’m going to do the same thing again exactly can’t do nothing else it’s not about what I actually believe it’s about hope and being the opposite it is hard to go one and 10 that is very hard Lord do lose lost 10 times yeah all right who

Had more reception yards T Higgins or Deontay Johnson T Higgins T Higgins Deontay Johnson and here we go again I’m going hate makers I ain’t using form no more we do Captain Chaos who scored more fantasy points Josh Allen or James Cook James Cook Josh Allen Josh Allen who had more total yards
