that Gap. Let's talk about Zach
Wilson
again. My quite not cleared medically to play, so it's Zach
Wilson show. Hi mums is you Jersey and rejoice Rejoice.
Yeah, figure out something else to do this weekend moms because
Zack Wilson
is starting for your
New York. Fighting Jets
Roberts Allah says this will be great opportunity for Zach and
we'll talk about fantasy and one second, I just want to take
one quick moment to say, I agree with him.
This is an amazing opportunity and obviously the Jets didn't
draw it up this way. But if ever there was an opportunity
to salvage Zach Wilson a guy again that they
spent the second overall pick in the NFL draft on.
If there was a chance to do it, it's this week, right? Because
now he can come in as the Savior, we expected my quite to
start my quite not medically cleared to play. Zach Wilson
gets the start at home against Detroit, a playoff berth is on
the line. In essence basically the winner of this game,
really keeps their playoff, hopes alive, the loser. This
game really tough to see a path for them to make the playoffs.
So both the lines of the Jets really This win
and it's a great matchup, obviously, given the struggles
of the Lions defense. So, exact Wilson comes in and this is
a guy who went five and two as a starter young. People forget
that, about Zach Wilson. So, if he comes in and beats
the Lions, and by the way, plays well
or at least even decently
then I think, maybe,
you know,
at least I think there's a chance that you could see him
as the starting quarterback of the Jets. Next year, his Jets
career I think is salvaged. Yep, particularly because
the two weeks off to this as well, Jacksonville? Right at home.
That's a good matchup. And then Seattle, which is a
Great matchup as well, that's on the road, but it could be
the Zach Wilson show. Hopefully. Mike White gets
better soon. Really. Interesting to see what
happens. If he plays, well, if he plays well and then what do
they do against Jacksonville in week 16 on a ship? That's why
Robert. Yeah, and that's the Thursday night game
but that's why Robert solid gets paid what he gets paid. It
is worth noting here. I think this is important.
So what do you do with the Jets player? You're not starting.
Jack Wilson. There's three fantasy impacts for this game
coming. What you if you agree with all these? Number one is
like,
so all of a sudden,
my quite who was like my favorite streamer this week if
you were, if you're suddenly scrambling because he lost
Kyler Murray or, you know, you didn't love who you didn't want
to play Geno Smith against the
against the see how, the Niners whatever it is.
So, I do think all of a sudden
you've lost a streamer
Zach, Wilson, Zach Wilson to me comes in at my QB 16. So I he's
like a mid-tier qb2 and what I'm nervous. About to be clear.
So there's that.
But
and I also think Elijah more who I think was show, you know,
shaping up to be kind of a sneaky wide receiver three this
week. If Mike White was playing against Detroit,
I think you can't trust Elijah more
right? Yeah, right. So for me, I think the two people you're
starting, you're talking, you're talking damn night,
the touches should still be there with them night as we've talked
about 17 touches each of those last three games. Remember, in
the games in which Jack Wilson
started, Jets, averaged over 27, rushing attempts a game,
like they tried. To hide Zach Wilson and I think they want to
do that again. So I think they'll be very run-heavy
against Detroit even though Detroit has been better against
the Run recently and then Garrett Wilson
look, Gary Wilson was sort of up and down with Zach Wilson
under Center but he did have two different games where he
had 17 and more fantasy points
with Zach Wilson. As his quarterback,
you lower, you know, I think I had Gary Wilson at 12, I moved
him down to 15 in my ranks.
Still a mid-tier wide receiver to but I'm still
starting Darren Wilson. Don't get cute though. Out who
quarterback is Garrett. Wilson's to good. This match
was too good. You're starting Garrett Wilson. Yep, a lot of
Zach. Wilson's, really bad games as well came against like
the Patriots and the bills defense
has, there's a much better defense has. There was weather
involved in some of those games as well. So I think that
against the Lions defense, he should be decent enough. Where
Garrett Wilson can provide value, probably not wide
receiver, one value, but good enough that you
starting him comfortably,
let's talk about Tyler Huntley, okay? Can Mark Andrews can hear
get on back on track or style Huntley? He's going to play
cleared from the The concussion protocol, he had an amazing
rapport with Mark Andrews and the last season, but Mark
Andrews has just been Anonymous
for a long time. There has been, but you know who else has
been Anonymous for a long time, George Kettle.
And he went off after the Vengeance. So, yes, it has been
a tough run here for Mark Andrews and his managers as
well. As you see it, there on your screen
Under 12 and a half fantasy points in four straight. He's
had single-digit each of the last two games but he's my
tight into this week.
He still Mark Andrews, he still
The focal point of that passing attack. He's playing the Browns
there on the road at Cleveland. I just I can't imagine benching
Mark Andrews again,
tight end is so brutal.
Like, I mean for all the prom my bitching about George
kid'll, I still had him ranked as a top 50 tight end coming
into this week. Because, because he's George Kettle, and
it was a good matchup against Seattle. And so
I just, I hear you, I get it, I understand the numbers. It is
not looked pretty. I'm still for me, I'm still started.
I think Tyler Huntley will play
Better in this game. He's been cleared from the concussion
protocol. He's going to start this game for Baltimore. He had
a lot of success with Huntley last year.
I'm starting Mark Andrews if I lose with Mark Andrews. I lose
the Mark Andrews but it is what it is. He's he's one of
the best in the NFL. Yep. You gotta go down with that ship. Don't
get cute. All right,
Tay Higgins and Tyler Boyd
with their respective injuries hamstring for Higgins finger
for Boyd. They participated second straight practice.
Yesterday I guess you just have to trust these got particularly
Higgins. If he gives his active, you just have to
I think so last week was so weird.
Yeah, super weird. It was super weird about like he got off
the injury report and then but they knew he wasn't going to go and
they don't and then I guess Higgins ran onto the field,
they didn't know he was gonna do and then he played the one.
It whole thing is super, super weird?
And you know
anyway I'm gonna get myself in trouble. If I talk further,
I'll just say this, I agree with you
that it was
super frustrating and weird and, you know,
given all the,
all the complexities around, Legal sports. Betting that now
happened in the Integrity of the game, it just
very questionable right? That the guy got off the
injury report and then I'll anyway,
but they knew he was injured. So anyway, some questions that
should be asked of Zack Taylor I think and the Cincinnati
Bengals given that but that's not my job. My job is to talk
about fantasy and I will say that. Yes, I agree with you.
If T Higgins is active,
I'm starting to Higgins. He's currently my wide receiver, 16
against the Tampa Bay, Buccaneers a secondary, by
the way, that is looked very susceptible. Recently they've
made Bad plays.
I feel a lot better about t Higgins after watching last
night's game, because Seattle's defense is not good at all and
San Francisco basically on offense. Scored pretty much for
10 points because they got the turnover, which took it down to
the one yard line, not really crediting them with that. So
the fact that Seattle was largely able
to contain a San Francisco offense that did whatever they
wanted against Tampa Bay. Sure, that everybody defense is not
very good at the moment, they're banged up. They've got
no pass rush at all. Since you killed our went down with
the season ending injury, so I think is gonna be a monster
game for the
The Bangles pass catchers, four of the last five, four games.
The T Haggard's is played. Either has a hundred yards or
a touchdown. Again Joe Broz playing as good as any
quarterback in the NFL right now. Yep
you're starting T Higgins. Although Tyler boy, I don't care
no interest Bangles that team total in that game is 23 and
a half. I think they'll get the 24 points against the Tampa Bay
Buccaneers. It's like about over there. Yep,
let's talk about Dallas, got it. He said that things are
trending in the right direction to play in week 15 against
the Bears. You trusting him if he's active. Yeah again.
Hey hey. Tight end B. By the way, this guy was really good
before he went down 60 yards and for the last six games 60
or more yards, I should say. And for the last six games, he
played back-to-back touchdown games
before he went out. There playing the Bears. This week,
Jalen hurts MVP. Favorite my fantasy ride or die, by making
me look smart. You know,
that's what I had to think about last night. I'm like, you
know, as I'm watching George killed, literally, you know,
it's Lance prance through the Seattle, secondary, the blanket
of childhoods to keep me warm. Exactly. Just I wrap myself.
Self in his warm fuzzy fantasy points.
I
so yeah. Dallas got her. I think it's a top six play at
tight end. Assuming he is active, looks like he's on
the way to go. It's interesting though
in terms of what you do with Devonte Smith right in
weeks, one through ten, when Dallas got it was
active. He was just wide receiver 32 on a points per
game basis, right? He was averaging just under seven
targets a game
under 60 yards per game
as well. Now,
He's come into his own, he had the bad week one and then we
did see it was more inconsistent, I should say, but
I just I think he goes from a
no-brainer. You're absolutely starting him
to a slightly more risky. Hi upside
low and wide receiver too high and wide receiver three this
week, I'm I'm likely still starting Devonte Smith but it
depends on what the other options are. You know, I would
want to be like okay you
know, he's probably getting it's like it's no longer
a no-brainer. No it's still likely but it's still a slight
question. Mark As
to
Your other options because of
because of Dallas Goddard being there as you see on your screen
in the last four games with Dallas got her out Smith is you
know, averaging you know, 5 / 73
a game is averaging over 15 fantasy points per game. He's
getting eight targets a game. Like the one that's been great
with Goddard out. Yeah, my concern with Devonte Smith
would be that the Eagles. Are nine point favorites. In
this game, they've got a gigantic Clash against Dallas
the next week on a Saturday. I
And they are a team as well,
you know they don't go all out running up the score through
the passing game in the second half of the games, they just
they run the ball. Jalen hurts might not have seven past
attempts in the second half so that could hurt the Vontae
Smith but you're still probably going to have to start him
unless you've got
like bam, not as an alternative in a flex. Yeah I think that
I think that's right. So like I said I think prior to
the Garner coming back news, I would have said you're starting
Smith no matter what and now I think it's like all right. See
what else you have in your lineup. You're probably still.
He still Smith, is probably still your best option, but
I think you might want to just look and consider it to your
point.
Bears are a bottom five run defense over the last month
like again in a game in which they're nine point favorites.
Expect them be able to run significantly Mi Sanders made
by Lovelace this reason this week for a reason. Yep,
let's talk about Damien, Harris, whose limited again in
Thursday's, practice with his thigh injury, any confidence
in, starting him against the pretty porous. Raiders defense
after his missed, the last two games.
Yeah,
it really depends on remand Ray Stevenson now. So we're
shooting this Wednesday or Friday, at whatever. It's now
12:25.
Long first block.
Anyway, so
we're shooting this at 12:25 on a Friday and so I haven't seen
any reports on Ramon. Ray Stevenson if he's practice at
all today. We'll find out the games in Las Vegas so we'll see
if he's on the trip. If he makes the trip,
assuming Ramon Ray Stevenson is not playing in this game
then. Yes, I feel a lot more confident about Damien Harris
in a game in which believe it or not, the the Patriots are
actually,
now slight underdogs, its base, it's gone from them favored to.
Now they're underdogs point and a half whatever, but it's
basically a Pick'em
Has not been great
overall. I think you can run on Las Vegas. I certainly think
that's what they're going to want to do against the Raiders
overall.
You feel better about the past catching running backs because
they've actually their top five in the NFL in terms of most
receiving yards and most catches allowed running backs
that
the Raiders are.
But who's most likely to score touch on in this game? It's
Damien Harris a, from Andre Stevenson's out. So assuming
he's out. Harris would be
high 30s for me, you know, again a touchdown
Don't flex for me. Yep, none of us start. He's not gonna have
any passing game usage. That'll be pierced wrong. If
Ramon Ray Stevenson is out. Yep, our still going to be
a best option in that backfield if Vermont Drive mrs. Alright,
we're going to go to pass. It doesn't really get involved in
the passing game here. Do you think he gets in the end zone?
I'd like them for any time touchdown here.
But yeah, I mean again
I touch on depend on Flex is what David Harris would be if
from Andre was out. We're gonna break when we come back to flex
Friday,
tackle stops, it questions.
Oh tackle, unlike Seattle,
d..
