And let's start with the guys should not be available in 49%
of leagues, but he is and that's Trail on. Why doesn't
anyone listen to me? What should happen? What should
happen in this world? Is that everyone should listen to me
and then it would all work out fine.
Yeah, that's what I
like. Because here's a guy will tell you something about me,
Jake Roche you and I are just getting to know each other. We
don't know each other super well yet, but I will tell you
is the people who know me, well, will tell me
like when it's, when it's something that I know nothing
about and make no mistake, there's a vast vast list of
topics of which I know nothing.
About when we get into something I know nothing about
I'm happy to like peace out like oh you know hey
you know my daughter's daddy which dress should I get?
I don't know.
Yeah. You know what I mean? Like you know my wife you know
like hey you want to help you with the cooking.
I know nothing. You know what I mean? It is what it is. I had,
you know. So chicken fingers. God.
Yeah, exactly. Can you fry it? It's a salad. It's a salad.
I can't. Okay then. I don't know. Right. Exactly like you know
like can I microwave it then?
Good shape. Other than that. Like so there's a lot of stuff
that I know nothing about, you know, like,
World politics. Like, I have opinions in the United States
but World politics.
Nothing. You know what I mean? Even, I don't know if I don't
try to make friends with the Ambassador
beats me, I stay out of that stuff, trying to make friends
like a
exactly butter him up. Take him to a game or something. I don't
know, whatever it is, you do. But
so I don't know when I when it took such it when it's
a subject. I don't know. Jake router IP sow time. I have no
ego about that but in stuff that I do know about everyone
should listen to me
and then and just follow my lead and you'll be fine. I've
made a career of giving advice giving advice that mostly works
out.
So we've been talking about Trail on Burke. We've been
talking about him for a long time. Sure, why won't people
listen to me? Why won't they listen to you? Why won't they
listen to us? Why won't they pick up trailing Brooks? Why do
they hate us
40 minutes. Hey, that's
one of the a trail of Burke's
an Arkansas thing.
Not like, do not want to say, woo suey.
When you watch them play,
maybe that could be part of it actually,
severe actually, I don't play, he has to be. It felt weird
coming out of my mouth right there. I guess you're all set
everywhere. Clearly, he's legitimate Talent. He's
the clear number one wide receiver. In that offense, he is the one
who benefits from Team stacking
the Box against Derrick Henry.
As we look at what he's done. Since returning from, I are
consistent steady diet of targets and doesn't need many.
It's a while to break big ones as well, right? I mean, he's
got in, at least six
targets. Since the three games since he's been back, he's
playing over. 50% of the snaps,
the the last to be tweaks, 70 yards last week. And he, you
know, he recovers the touchdown in the end zone 111 the week
before, so he's been,
he's been terrific. Now, if there's one thing that I would
caution, you know,
it's they play Philadelphia there on the road to
Philadelphia and he's probably gonna see how heavy dose of
dairy sleigh and James Bradbury. So I don't know that
I would necessarily want to use him this week, There's a chance
he winds up on the hate list this
week.
But he needs to be raw stirred your main like, the hate list
isn't about guys available in your league. It's like, guys on
your roster that I feel like, hey, lower expectations,
but his upcoming schedule,
you know, Jacksonville the Chargers,
the Texans, like you love that schedule. Coming forward and
again team what teams have been doing the last couple of weeks
is like they're selling out to stop the run. They're like
Derrick Henry is not going to beat us which is fine because
that opens up single coverage for trail on Burks
and you saw it if you saw it.
A of the highlights last week or watch that game against
the Tennessee game.
Ryan Tannehill doesn't have a fear
of throwing it up, and letting Trail on Burke's win a 50/50
ball like go up and get this and he's a big kid who can do
just that? That's the thing. Is that earlier in the season,
I didn't have the confidence in him and now they do where they
are throwing it up in the Green Bay game with the game,
basically on ice and
a, under the 2-minute warning Tannehill. Threw it up to him
and in single coverage against j.r. Alexander, it's a sealed
again. So there's clearly that level of confidence and I call
This is growing as well with Zhou Jones.
Who had a monstrous game against Baltimore.
He was the big beneficiary from Trevor. Lawrence are having his
kind of superhero. Origin story on, on television,
say Jones should be around everywhere as well. 38 percent
Target shared last week. He's now had double-digit Targets in
three of the last five games in back-to-back games. Again,
Jacksonville is often a - game script. So the throwing and who
are they throwing to the throne to Cristian Kirk and
the throwing twos A Jones as you see the last five games on your
screen?
Right there. Yeah, I mean like you know three different games
with over 50 yards. Again, double-digit Targets in three
of the last five he
you know whatever he had a bad game against the Broncos. A lot
of people have bad games against the Broncos, they
didn't need to throw them against the Raiders. He still
got 5440,
you know but like he's playing over 90% of the snaps and every
game and so when you're a talented wide receiver playing
over 90% of the snaps and they pass first offense, it softens
going to be throwing. I think it's interesting and then you
look at his schedule,
Detroit this week Titans.
No of the Cowboys and then you don't love the Jets
but I would say that I think Trail on Burks the priority
if he's not roster in your league for the rest of
the season, but if I needed somebody this week and this
week only Cardinals out like I am, I'm losing
DeAndre Hopkins and Hollywood Brown this week right. I'm
losing.
You probably lost DJ more, but you don't have a whatever
you're losing those guys. And you know who, you know,
whatever you just lost Darnell Mooney or whatever. And you're,
you know, you're nervous about some of these other guys
that might be injured. I think they just
Jones is a priority this week as well. A top 5 wide receiver
last week in a game in which the Lions allow the fourth,
most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers to me. They
Jones is somebody that
needs to be in line up this week, which means he needs to
be on rosters. That's how that works Swagger was about. That
works swaggy was a back, so, are you ourselves? That's why
you ours, they're,
they're not only back with their, you know, their
their mascot is earning endorsements. Trevor, Lawrence
is taking tool a Fantastical. I'm like, yeah, the
Whatever. I yeah.
I apparently you know, and I can't confirm this but rumors
are that Jackson DeVille
who, you know, the Jaguars mascot, who you know, where
the thong bikini, this this past weekend
has already been cast in two different rap videos.
That's not right? Yes, is that right? Yeah,
cool, fantastic.
Yeah. Check mark part 3. Yeah,
he's the third lead.
Yeah, it's a bit of a step down. That's all right. That's
fine. All right. It's all happening for him. It is
trending when you have that kind of body, you own that.
Yeah, you gotta wrap it, you gotta wrap it. Michael gallis.
Got a pretty good buddy, as well, I guess, and he is
available right now, in 52 percent of the legs on
Thanksgiving. He was basically all the Cowboys had going in
that first
half and he looked a bit like, Michael Gallop. Just, I would
just like our
viewers to take a note. And,
and just, you know, congratulate you on that, very
smooth. Segue from Magic Mike 32, Michael Gala. Yeah. And
Mike lot of people a lot of
hot body. Yeah. Fed, you know like whatever like I'm trying
to think, who would like give me the best, you know,
Ryan Seacrest couldn't do that, you know, like who's like
suppose that looks up loser? Who's like the you know who are
some of the best hosts on, you know? Like yeah, try that Hoda?
Like it
could be that, I know.
Exactly. Exactly. But you Jake. Roger, you managed to do that.
Well, done.
Well done there.
So Michael Gallup has now had six Targets in three of
the last four games. He's a talented guy who's coming off
the injury. But there's a reason why the Cowboys said
goodbye.
I do Amari Cooper but brought back Michael Gallop on
a multi-year deal despite the massive injury and so listen,
the numbers don't overwhelm you, right? You know, starting
in week 8 449 4435 3441
54 63 against the Giants which season-high eight Targets
in that game. So
but feels like he's trending in the right direction. We know he
is a talented wide receiver with a good quarterback and
a good offense and so Michael Gallant who gets the Colts
Texans Jaguars before a tough game against Philadelphia over
the next three. Michael Gallup is somebody who makes our list.
Yeah, he just has such an entrenched track record of
being incredibly fantasy viable. He's a
Target Monster. Now the further he gets removed from
the injury, the more upside there is with him I will say just
I want to be you know eight
look it's there's only so many balls to go around and Dallas.
See the Lambs always going to be the number one. Read
there is a connection between Dak Prescott and Dalton
Schultz. There's no question about it. He does love checking
down their use. In Pollard mourn, the passing game. So
I get the anti Mac, Michael Gallup
conversation here.
But what I would tell you
and I would tell America
and specifically America because you know what? One of
us is not a commie. What I would say is that
you try doing a waiver wire show going into week 13 and
finding viable wide receivers you try it? That's what we're,
that's where we're at and if you think Michael Gallup is not
all that exciting.
Wait to hear the next guy we got for you.
Yeah. And that is
Elijah more. Yes, the ghost of Elijah more back. Rane Khan,
he's back. He's making out with football. He's loving it down
to the bubble. He's out of the bubble. He's coming. He's given
postgame press conferences. Jake Croucher. He's,
he's loving life. You know, why Connie can write exactly? He's
like whatever, listen Zack, Clausen have your mom's, I'm
making out with his football. You know, knock yourself out
here, made out of it, in the
end zone, made out with it in the end zone.
You know
he's a talented player. We you know, free for the entire
season would be like free. Elijah more, what happened to
the guy we saw last year like
you know, he requested a trade, they didn't want to try them
but they're not going to play them. Like who knows what's
going on with the Jets
and Roberts? Allah, but 64 yards in week 12
in the seven games that he played with Zach Wilson
he had 81. Yeah I mean think about that and one game with my
quite 64 yards and seven games exact Wilson, 81 yards by
the way. He also scored a touchdown
with my quite Now he gets the Minnesota Vikings will allow
the fifth. Most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. We
expect the Vikings to be able to put up points. Even though
the Jets defense is really good.
The expectation here is that they're going to have to throw
to move the ball against Minnesota. Especially if
the Run game is banged up with you're going to get to in
a minute here. So Elijah more like that's a that's a bet on
talent and a change in the situation. Yeah, I think
that there's been a little kind of muting of how good Mike Watt
was because the Chicago defense that I banged off of that bad
even when they're healthy. But I mean, at the same time, he's
playing in a monsoon like it was very difficult conditions
and just watch the throws. He was making great throws and
I think this week against Minnesota who also have a good
defense, we get to take the red pill and see how deep
the rabbit hole goes of actually, how bad was that Wilson?
Because if my quite as really good, again
then I mean it just changes the whole the whole kind of
complexion of the offense.
By the way, taking the red pill that is a reference to
the Matrix. Did you want to ruin the ending to The Matrix? Know,
I don't even really understand how districts episode ikana
spoiler? Can I be honest with you? I sort of was hoping you
would Don't you dare ya. I totally,
I've watched all three of those movies. Like I haven't watch
resurrections or whatever the new one was, but like, I wash
all through those. I'm like,
I think he won. I think they're happy. I think they're out of
the simulation. Yeah,
it caught. Yeah. But I'm not totally sure to spoil. It would
be to do planet Earth a great service because I got we spoil
that being a plane for the first time. No. It's just no.
We all love Cannon Reeves and it's cool. Yes. Mia was cool.
We dig vo.
First Matrix is Untouchable.
It smells good.
Like I was I remember being in a movie theater and it seemed
like some of those kids were
just like white whatever. He bet, you know, you know what,
it's
like George. Pickens. I was on. Yeah, it was. I mean, it was
amazing. It was very Pickens esque. Yeah, I mean like
the Matrix. There's a lot of stuff in movies today that
happened or the technology or the kind of shots that started
with a matrix. Just not cool to down a
movie rabbit hole but like
They built like like if you ever see any
the behind-the-scenes stuff for the Wachowski brothers
that when they when they did that movie and I know they're
they're not called the Wachowski Brothers anymore. But
anyway that's what they were when they directed a movie and
like they built all these cameras like they built like
a zillion cameras to do that 360° shot. Like it's
anyway, they did some really cool Innovative stuff
with that movie.
If you've never seen The Matrix High, the very first Matrix.
Yeah, highly recommend a of a fellow once can probably be
positive, although the new one was actually better than you
would expect. All right, now that we will check that both
watching fair enough because it's Australia movie, right?
This is the Matrix. It was filmed in Sochi. I was going to
say they shot it. I
definitely shot. It will climate. Yeah.
Okay. Now that we've covered the Matrix and compared George
Pickens to
the savior of the European rails today. Let's go to Isaiah
McKenzie
who is available in 67% of leagues, tough matchup do
against New England,
it is, I think the positives are, you know, that
he had that one game last year against the Patriots We want 11
125 and a touchdown. Now Kobe's leaves out of that game game.
Davis was out of that game but still he's had success against
the Patriots
and Bill Belichick before
73% snap rate last week, which I think was encouraging
had 10 Targets in that game as well. And so
as you sit here and seeing your screen here, he's played almost
70% of the snaps into the last three games.
Again, this is this is a deeply Gad but I do think that,
you know, if you read some of the press coming out around but
Hello.
You know, there's encouraging this is a talented player that
they want to get involved in the offense more. So and
the slot is an area that you potentially can attack against
New England. Josh hollan fully practicing as well. Seems like
he's
getting over the elbow. So you spec some upside and and you
know, Gabe Davis was one of my favorite sleepers coming in
the year and like
many people in the fantasy industry were all on game
Davis. It just hasn't happened for him. He's had flashes, he's
had moments and some big plays, but it hasn't in terms of
consistent fantasy value. They're just sort of
Spreading it around. So maybe there's an opportunity here for
Isaiah. Mackenzie underneath to take advantage of his speed.
Yep. Okay, let's race through
a list of guys headlined by NATO Collins who plays
Cleveland this week and he's available in 76 percent of
leaks. 26 targets over his past three games here.
You know, the Kyle Allen wasn't great but he certainly wasn't
any worse than Davis Mills. And so they could Collins who plays
the Browns and available in 76% of leagues.
It's somebody that you know,
Defies it wide receiver. I do think that Collins I
I like look I like Matt Collins more they're going to have to
throw a special by the way, if Josh Jacobs doesn't play we'll
get into that in the next segment here. But he's had at
least 11 fantasy points in for the past six,
he's playing on 93% of the offense of snaps this season.
So Matt Collins
is kind of interesting against. He's got the Chargers Rams,
Patriots and Steelers. So you don't love the schedule which
is one of the reasons but we do expect
Las Vegas death row.
You see Sky more there and then
Listen Williams. It's just worth
noting. So the NFL, there's just conflicting reports. Here
NFL, Network here. And I want to make sure I get the, I got
the quote, right. Okay.
You know, the,
the NFL Network reported quote, I'm quoting here from an NFL
Network report, in terms of Jamieson Wilson, Williams
this week's in this was done right after Thanksgiving.
This week's what this week's wasn't a full speed practice.
But next week's Will be if he makes it through. Unscathed,
there's a good chance. He's activated, that's NFL,
Network's and good chance. He's activated this week
then, Dan Campbell
of the Lions. He's the head coach and lions. When asked
about it Jameson, would play this week in essence, what he'd
be activated this week, he said quote it would be a tall order
any things open. So I think I don't want to say it wouldn't
happen,
but it would take a lot.
I think this week to feel good about bringing him out. So
choose your fighter
NFL Network says he's going to play this week. It's like
The pretty they say it's a good chance. He plays this week. The
actual head coach of the team
says it would take a lot to feel good about bringing them
out. Either way, that's a story that will monitor throughout
the week and I can't imagine starting him and its first game
and it first game he's
active whether it's this week
or a following week,
I think James Williams should be on your roster just because
he's got that kind of upside and an offensive throws quite
a bit. Yeah, exactly. And I think that it's a perfect fantasy
situation there with a great offensive line Jerry. Golf is
very productive when kept up Rod, which he is by that
offensive line. And I'm on Ross, I'm Brown obviously is
going
to be the number one guy, but with TJ Hawkinson gone,
definitely more targets to go around, right? We're gonna go
know and what, you know, and we just mentioned Sky more as well
just quickly, this sure they're banged up engine and Casey
somewhat. And so back-to-back games with at least five
receptions Sky, more would probably be the last on my
list, that just because they spread it around
and feels like Juju
will play more snaps this week, so it happens with coderre
Stony as well.
d..
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,
