Laughing cause I wasn't ready.
Ready? Yeah. Stop with the graphic. What are we doing to
get stopped? Like we can't I guess apparently once it's
a runaway train, once you get the graphic going, you can't stop.
It is what it is and now it's frozen. Okay,
there's no going back. It's like the
money trying. I don't write reviews.
Totally Wesley Snipes. Yeah
well what was it? A bullet train was the one with Brad
Pitt this past summer. I think and money trying
either way you and I are a train of fantasy information.
Sort of
But I wanted to give you a moment here. Hang on for
a second, hang on, hang on.
I'm coming because I think we blew past the biggest story
line of this whole thing. So
Malik Willis is not only starting this week but it looks
like Ryan Tannehill is done for the year. You know and
pro football talk and and others are speculating that
that looks to be the case.
And as a result do, you know what do you know who is favored
now
to win the AFC, South my Jacksonville?
- 145, on bed, MGM. How about that your Jags? I will. I want
to give you credit. I mean, the bandwagon is now full. You
don't have any room. You jumped off, and it's filled up before
you get a chance to come back on.
But it will see what obviously happens tonight to the game
against the Jets. But the fact is, I want to give you credit
though you've said throughout this year
that in terms of what the line was
that you you like the Jaguars at plus money to win this
division? This is one of your bets early in the season as
well but you loved I think they were like plus 700 at one.
Right. Thanks. Yeah. Plus 700 plus 750 that Ryan's in
the beauty of placing a bet is that even when you hop off
the emotional bandwagon, like I did on the Jags a few weeks ago,
when I was just sick of watching this team,
get blown out by the lines by 26 points,
the bed is placed Matthew. The BET cannot be undone,
I will ride them to the AFC South. It's going to come down
to that week, 18 game, where the Jags host, the Titans
would, if it's a Malik Willis that line might be like - six,
by the way, can you imagine, by the way? I mean, I don't think
they've figured out what game they're going to flex into
Sunday Night Football, Jack Stein.
They could be, could be a Jones. Anybody AFC South
South title right here on, NBC and peacock. We will see
label. Talk about Josh Jacobs. Yeah, running back. Love now.
Yeah. Now they can roll the graphic. Yeah.
But I think they already rolled in. Yeah, we don't need to we
don't even have a doctor money. Trying? Yeah, the money already
gone through. Josh Jacobs the best running back in football
this year. It's like if ever there was an example,
the poster boy of like how crazy this year is,
they gave up on him, the Raiders gave up in him fantasy,
managers were done. He's become like one of if not the best
bargain in terms of ATP versus production since week 10, he's
getting so much work.
29 touches a game. That is the most in the NFL
and then you're like, okay, well great. So he's got a lot
of work, will we be successful with it? Oh yes. He will
because running back to get at least 15 touches and a game
against the Steelers this year
averaging 19 fantasy points per game. By the way, three of
the last four steals, given up over 110, rushing yards per game.
You see the game log on your screen right there, just in
terms of the amount of work that Joshy.
Is getting Josh. Jacob is a top for running back play this week
on the road at Pittsburgh. Yeah, was a little concerned
about his finger injury that he did against the Rams. Would
probably just fine. 26 touches, got you know what? He's got
nine others. Yeah, he's got
a night others into legs. We're good. He's tough. Let's go
check. If he is actually like, you know, I've had a love-hate
relationship with Josh Jacobs over his NFL career but I've
never questioned the man's toughness. Yep. Absolutely.
Alright,
let's talk about Alvin Kamara. Who quietly
didn't really I don't think many people tracking this
because you can have a huge fantasy diabetes. I have 21
carries Yap against the Falcons and he's on the Loveless, he
is. And look, if you're in the playoffs this week, it is
likely in spite of Alvin
Kamara, certainly not, because of it, he has been a massive
disappointment. This year hasn't been the bargain, you
thought he would, but he comes in at running back 12 for me
and I think it's right. It's it. What it is, is like Talent.
We know, he's we know it's in there, it's good.
It's also volume to you mentioned, you mentioned the 23
total touches last week, that's the most in a game since week
6, Mark Ingram isn't there, they have David Johnson, they
veto Maybe they just signed up the street like, or away from
you. Like
like it should be the album Camaro show especially when you
look at what's going on in Cleveland the weather expect to
be you know really windy really cold like 10 degrees. So it's
going to be
nasty. Freezing windy unidentified ditions to try to
pass the ball. So my expectation is is that they
want to run the ball a lot without a chimera especially
when you think about how you
attack Cleveland's defense
Browns, give the second most yards per carry to running
backs, they've allowed the rushing touchdowns or I'm sorry
the second most rushing touchdowns two running backs
this year like you can run on the Cleveland Browns and
so especially given how bad the weather is expected to be there
on
this weekend in Cleveland.
Yeah, give me album Khmer as a top 12 Play. I think the other
thing there is Chris are lava hasn't practiced, the bells to
dice with his hamstrings on a limited snap count against
the Falcons. So I would say it's very unlikely that Chris oil
Ava is going to play against Cleveland which just ties into
our yeah. Running the ball when you do many wide receivers and
there's 30 mph winds anyway and The Daltons a quarterback
anyway. Suspect it will be
a big game for Alvin. Kamara me, they'll have to pass at
some point. It will try but so you know, if you if you're
looking to the Saints and a Lobby doesn't play, I think
it's
I think we're she Rashid Shaheed, you know, honestly
jajuan Johnson become sort of interesting because him and
Dalton have had a connection and right you know I mean he's
just he's
been a pretty good streamer there but
yes, I do think that
I get it, it's been tough with Chimera, but I do think he got
a Christmas miracle here with album Camaro. Finally, at
the very last if you manage to survive. I've this long with
AK-47, as your running back, my expectations are on Saturday.
The Chimera has a big day. Yep. Also, a big day Lemmings. The
Kansas City running backs Jerick McKinnon lies,
a Pacheco, get a very tasty matchup against a Seattle run
defense. That I mean,
they were okay against those that a lot better than
I thought. Just in terms of limiting Christian McCaffrey's
efficiency, but they got lit up by the altar phone and Troop
Hubbard completely Lit Up by Josh Jacobs. Even cam Akers
showed Signs
of Life against them, and both Casey running backs on
the Loveless. Well sure. And by the way, again, San Francisco. They
could focus a little bit more. They could say like, hey, we'll
take our chances with Brock / D. Yeah, they can't do that
with Patrick Mahomes. Know, I didn't really work against
Brock. Patty is
no, it didn't either. No, it didn't. I mean, McCaffrey still
had a monster game in that
in that Thursday night game.
Look since we 10
the Seattle Seahawks are allowing 211 yards from
scrimmage per game, two running backs 211, not a typo. Yeah,
211 yards from scrimmage to opposing running backs.
Since week 10, they've given up multiple touchdowns two running
backs. In three of the last four. And so McKinnon, you
know, we don't need McKinnon, has been the number one running
back in fantasy, each of the two weeks with back-to-back
games
of over 120 yards from scrimmage and it's not just fluky plays.
Like that's what makes the Highlight
but is snap count has increased
each of the last four weeks as they're getting close to
the playoffs their increasing McKinnon's usage McKinnon of
course, was such a big part of what they do in the playoffs
last year and then Pacheco
again. The volume has been there, six straight games. Now
Jay with at least 15 touches in at least 80 yards. And so
against the sea,
Of Defense. Both guys are locked in top 20 plays for me.
Yep. Okay, let's get to some others for saving votes
headlined by friend of the show Rahim. Most that is looking
like Marshawn Lynch against the Buffalo Bills. Last Saturday,
Raheem The Dreamer. He must start
the fact of the matter is, is that Jeff Wilson jr. Return to
practice. But even if he's active in this one, you like
him at home against the Packers defense, that's allowed
a rushing touchdown to a running back and for the past five
games
that is the second worst run defense over the last month,
I also like latavius Murray. Chase Edmunds has been
activated off the IR, but my expectation is that Edmonds,
basically takes the model and Mac roll,
not and latavius Murray,
who's had at least 20 touches and three, the past, five
games, his volume stays the game, stays the same against
a Rams defense. That's allowed at least 85 yards from scrimmage
in five of their past. Six games,
including letting Aaron Jones in AJ Dillon. Run all over
the last week. I mentioned a a JK Dobbins earlier in the show.
120 rushing yards in both games since returning Falcons, allow
the fifth, most rushing yards per game two running backs.
It's week ten. And finally, if you're desperate, speaking of
the Rams you see cam Akers there on your screen. Look,
played 75 percent of the stops last week, had a 15 percent
Target share. He's had at least 13 touches, and for the past
five games, he is uninspiring, but it is not a scary matchup
against Denver. We've seen teams have rushing success
against the Broncos, and the volume has been there. So
he's a low-end flex for me, but
maybe he falls into the end zone.
Yep, let's get to the height list. This is sad. Brian
Robinson's, the headliner.
I mean,
how do you Feel about yourself Matthew. All right, you know,
listen that's a lot to unpack in. Just
the short time that we have in this segment, you know,
I don't feel good about myself but this is
there should be evidence to all of our listeners and viewers
that you know. Listen, I'm a Washington commanders Homer,
you guys know this but when it comes to love hate list, I am
objective. And the fact of the matter is is that Brian
Robinson.
You know, last week he was fighting the Giants and the refs,
hopefully this week, it's just the opposing team and it's not,
you know, some some referee with an agenda. That you know,
tells Materia, McLaren one thing, and then throws a
flag,
the complete opposite of what he said, but I digress the fact
of the matter is that Brian Robinson faces the Niners,
no team of the NFL's allowed fewer rushing yards per game to
running backs than the San Francisco 49ers, David not
allowed one running back to reach 60, rushing yards in
a game all season
last week in a game in which the commanders were trailing
Robinson, was out snapped by Antonio Gibson. 38 224.
My commanders are a seven point Underdog in this.
This one I just don't see Robinson getting enough work,
maybe he falls in the end zone and but this is as low, as I've
had about a year. He's my running back 34 and then Jamaal
Williams as well. Speaking of No Passing game work. That's me
believe it or not, Brian Robinson. Actually it's more
passing game work recently than Jamaal Williams. Three straight
games
with under 40, rushing yards,
seven, straight games with zero receptions,
like seven straight games without a reception.
You know, his snap rate is below eighty percent over
the last three
Carolina Panthers. We've talked about that, they keep pounding.
There are top ten run defense over the last month
they're using Justin Jackson more than I, would think. Yeah.
Awesome. Nice on. But I like, exactly. Just jocks and
the Audrey swept.
So Jamal Williams,
basically, you're hoping for a touchdown but it's he's part of
a three-headed committee. He's not getting any passing down
down passing game work and it's a tough matchup against
Carolina. So, outside my top 30 Jamaal Williams this week,
d.co.
Just want to. Thank you so much for watching, what you just
watched or at least being too lazy to click out of it. After
the, you know, autoplay just kept it going. So either way,
thank you so much for just letting it scroll by your screen.
