Do you guys have
any interest in pursuing Baker, Mayfield on the waiver wire?
We look in everything but
that was, I mean,
that surprised me right now. We got to discuss more of this
afternoon and stuff, but,
you know, I've always been a fan of his but feel real good
about our players and will look in everything, but I feel
pretty good with where we're at right now.
Yeah, that was 49ers. Coach Carl Shanahan talking about
bacon. Mayfield, The much-maligned Baker Mayfield.
He has to be better than Brock / D, but at the same time, you
notice, they don't think so
Jacoby. That was that was, there was a nice way of saying
like, yeah, I'm not interested. Yeah, Jacoby Brissette playing.
This is,
by the way, for those listening at home, the
the level at, which should go to be percent play. This is it
makes me think that maybe back in my fields, which is Battle.
And he was just with that Cleveland offensive line with
the running game with the play action that you do is, I don't
know,
Baker, Mayfield, someone's going to pick him up.
Someone someone is, when this goes with former number one
overall pick in the NFL draft by the way. And
the other thing I'd make a great, we don't need to
derail but whether it's not like Baker, Mayfield has not
had success in the NFL. Like you think that that's a really
good use, right? That's that's the thing, right? That
the playoff game,
like he went into Pittsburgh and beat the Steelers and that
wasn't like a, like they beat the Steelers like that was 45,
right? Yeah, exactly. And bacon was great in that game. Like
I just
tough you think you tough tough here for Baker? I mean, listen,
it's a mess in Carolina. Like you know, like I mean, it's
Not like Sam Donald or PJ Walker. Like lighting it up and
everything like that, like the fire, the head coach. And
anyway, so looking forward to biking by field on my New York
Jets next year, that feels destined to happen. Oh, maybe
the Indianapolis Colts after my blankets, a max deal somewhere.
Yeah, exactly the great Mike. What? We're going to talk about
him soon. But first, let's talk
about another San Francisco 49er. A guy who is on the team
Brock /, D you, adding Brock / D,
I'm not. I mean, listen,
I'll just say I'll say that. Like, if you're to court, Back
leg. If you're a super Flex League deep League, then sure
I'm going to couple of those. I mean the fact, the matter
is that the Garoppolo had multiple touchdown passes in
five of the last seven. It's worth noting that the Niners
lead the NFL and yards after catch per reception, which
makes sense
short passes to Debo Samuel to Brennan. I used to coach
McCaffrey George Kettle, whose great after the catch as well.
Yep.
And if I'm Kyle Shanahan, that's the offense. I'm calling
right, you know, just like a block party. We're not going to
ask you to do much just really simple stuff movie outside of
the pocket. Just some quick Slants just you know,
quick throws that kind of stuff and just like, really easy
pitching, catch stuff and let my skill guys, do what they do.
And you know,
there may not be a better guy in the NFL to scheme up. You know,
getting guys in space
and creating mismatches,
then, Kyle, Shanahan. So
he's not going to add anything with the legs and it's still
going to be a conservative offense. Be in tight games
because their defense. And so
I guess I'm saying I think there is in a deep to
quarterback League.
I think he could be like, not awful. Yeah. Like I think you
could be usable like you know, I mean there are other
quarterbacks out there that I like starting with Jared Goff
who's out there still in half of Yahoo leagues. That would be
my number one quarterback. If he's still available,
right? I mean, they play the Minnesota Vikings at home this
week. We've talked about the fact that when he's playing at
home Jared Goff averaged over 20 fantasy points per game,
the Vikings have allowed over 300 passing yards in four straight
games
and as you of no 2J
the line of this game is super close. It's know all the lines
and out two and a half Point favorites, home field advantage
these dyes in the NFL as well as one and a half to two
points. So that MGM in the market are saying that
the Detroit Lions are just a better football team than
the 10mm to Minnesota Vikings and I'm not sure I disagree. Well,
it's certainly close. The fact that matter is, is that if you
looked at the record you say like, all right, well, this
is like a, you know, this is,
this is gonna be a blowout. Troy's got a better offense,
the Minnesota and I both got pretty bad defense has. So It's
really comes down to the last possession. Either way, we
expect a lot of fantasy points to be scored in this one.
Especially from the Detroit Lions, who now have a fully
healthy, DeAndre Swift to go along with the sun-god and
Jamaal Williams and
all the complimentary pieces they have their in Detroit.
Let's talk now about my quite of your beloved, your jab, man,
Mike, why do you just continues to put up 300 yard games for
fun? I think the best thing about my quite is that he
realizes that
it's good. If you throw to your best player, he targeted.
Garrett Wilson, 15 times and the Anything about Garrett
Wilson's game,
which is very tired to my quiet, is the Gary Wilson went
84 162 and left a ton of yards on the table. My flight missed
him for an 80-yard touchdown, Which would have changed
the complexion of the game but
you see what he's done. The, his first two starts of the Season
315 yards from the 69 yards, three touchdowns in the first
game doesn't get on the board in the end zone. In the second
game against Minnesota, throws a couple of pics. Don't really
criticize them for lava.
I do he just looks good out there. Yeah he listened and
he had 19 fantasy.
Last week 24 to the week before and
he plays the bills this week. We're again, as we mentioned
bills are nine and a half Point favorites. So in theory, Jets
going to be having to throw to catch up. And I think this
would shock people,
but over the last month, the Buffalo Bills are a bottom five
past events. Yeah. And the banged up
there, they're banged up and teams are having to throw a lot
on them as well. And so,
I guess my point is, is like,
I think you'd say on the road of Buffalo, man, like
The matchup doesn't scare me as much. Like it might be some
junk time, but
the Jets people were forget. The Jets beat the bills. The
first time they played they did and they played them very well
and they beat them with Zach Wilson as well. And so exactly
interesting to see, you just easy. Like, if my quite can't
beat Zack, can't see the bills, but
Zac Posen did means Jets win by 20. Now they've got my quiet.
There you go quarterback. So yeah, I think the my quite just
the fact that he has that
rapport with Garrett Wilson, Garrett Wilson, much like
Justin Jeff. Lifts cut cause like Garrett Wilson when he
doesn't have Zach Wilson his quarterback.
It's basically Tyree kill mates, Justin Jefferson, but something
saying stat line it's been.
It's been amazing to see and
has moved Garrett, Wilson and just must start doesn't matter
who he's playing Portal on water-saving. Yeah, if not just
the wide receiver one and
I wonder my only other question about this is like, when
the Jets play the bills,
what Disney movie do? You think they all wear shirts from as
they walk in? Because, you know, they did Mighty Ducks
last week, is it? Yeah, I will now measure.
They go away from it because they lost the game. But then
what happened was they went on drug sports movie, okay? So do
you think it was Disney or do you think Underdog sports
movie? Because they could be like, the Bad News Bears and
news, but they could be
Remember the Titans?
Remember the Titans of of the Jets, the remember, the judge,
they could, they could where they could, they could all
wear, you know, Rocky Balboa shirts. Sure.
They could, you know, good vibe around. Right? That's
you know what they should do. Here's what they should do.
They should all wear the NASCAR, Wonder Bread
outfits from Days of Thunder.
Yeah. Jason Thunder. What's the welfare worker that
Talladega Nights? Thank you.
Stacey Thunder is the is the is the one that making fun of
Talladega. Nights is the Tom Cruise was, I thought with
Nicole Kidman and that's her. Yeah, of course, of course he
is. Yeah, it's Australian. Nicole Kidman. Shout out in
a call. I know you watch the show. All right, let's go to
the Ravens situation. But first, let's hear from John
Harbor on Lamar Jackson.
John any update on the more? Yeah, we are,
he's been through the MRIs
and I would say it's kind of weak the weak, you know. It's
going to be a weekly thing. So
as a week goes on, we'll see for this week,
it's probably less likely for this week, but it's not
impossible.
And then after that, it'll become more and more likely
Allah Jackson, chronically Hut of light. He had a similar
thing with his ankle at the end of last year, whereas weight
away and they just never came back. The same is less severe
this time. But Tyler Huntley filled in ably
lost time. He was in had an incredible rapport with Mark
Andrews. Its title Huntley. Is he an ad? I think he is.
I mean, like, if you look at his game log, like he had some,
like, 35 Point games and had like some 14-point game. So
little bit up and down been consistent. But in the six games,
over the last two years and where he's played, the majority
of the staffs, he is averaging 15 points. .9 fantasy points
per game is a, see it there in your screen and I think
the most important stat that's there on your
screen, he's averaging 50 for rushing yards, a game and he's
got three rushing touchdowns in his career when he plays over
50% of the offense of
steps that's that's six games over the last two years. So you
know, the three touchdowns, and six games rut three rushing
touchdowns. In six games,
the 54 rushing yards per game
over the six just makes you feel. Like at least there's
a floor there with Tyler Huntley. I'm not worried about Mark
Andrews,
he Some good games, I know bad game for Mark Andrews, this
past week, whatever,
they're on the road of Pittsburgh. Those are always
I don't care what the record is.
Steelers Ravens are always like hard-fought, you know, nasty,
you know, kind of AFC North like real stereotypical, you
know, little snip digital. Yeah, divisional battles
but I do think because the rushing tile Huntley is,
you know, potentially viable as a QB to it was really good down
the handle off season and I think the other thing is he
shook the cross. Because
Gia and a lossy are just losing close games for fun in
agonizing. Fashion doesn't get the two point against Green Bay
loses a close ones against Cleveland and the Rams and goes
down the field against Denver
gets the win to not save Baltimore season but relative
to winning the division might have saved their season and
then their schedule
at Pittsburgh this week as you mentioned then at Cleveland
that defense is no good at the moment then Atlanta and
Pittsburgh again. So I think that's overall. It's a good
schedule. It is it is and so
and we'll see again Alomar comes.
Well, yeah, I mean, like, in Harbaugh's, trying to like, you
know, he said, you know, not impossible but less likely this
week and as the week's go on, it'll be more and more. But,
you know, I
and again, I don't want to accuse anyone of anything.
But there is a chance. I don't have no Insight on this. I just
want to say this
that
I would, I would assume that somebody and Lamar's Camp
well. We'll say something ineffective. Like listen, dude,
you're a free agent.
You're about to get paid,
you're about to get a massive, whether it's from the Ravens or
somebody else. You're about to get a massive life-changing
money
you know quarter of a billion dollar type deal here. Yeah.
You know if you're less than 100% you really want to and
given the weight, the style of play. That you have,
you really going to go risk a quarter of a billion dollars,
you know, on a Jet Sweep against the Steelers.
Yeah, you know, and so I just
again, I'm not accusing Lamar of anything. I'm not I don't
know any of this, this is pure speculation but a hedging from
you today can make is
Lamar Jackson.
Yeah. But like
because this is like because I want to be clear about this.
I don't want people to think like I've talked to somebody and
like because this is like you know, because
there will obviously be Ravens fans that would be
if that were to happen again. I you know they would be upset.
About that. Also if he misses two weeks and comes back in
three weeks, then that worst case. They're eight and six and
still very much in the playoff picture as someone who's not
a doctor and has no medical credentials. I would set
the over-under is probably like
two and a half in terms of games that he misses that
range. So you probably get two games at Isla humming. We only
saying it's without full knowledge of the injury
and given his contract situation
and where the Ravens are because they could potentially
be out of the playoff picture by the time he comes back,
I'm just saying there's a nonzero chance that we've seen
Lamar Jackson's last game this year. Year. Fair
show Fair nonzero. Nonzero chance. Okay, well we haven't
seen the last game. Ryan Tannehill, he plays the Jags
favorable. Matchup after a
much more difficult matchup against the Philadelphia
Eagles, who Punk'd, the Tennessee, Titans his schedule.
The next three weeks. Ryan Tannehill in particular,
Jacksonville
at the charges Houston that is as good as it gets.
Yeah it really is when you're not worried about the charges
we just saw. Derek Carr light them up. Jacksonville the last
four quarterbacks that have faced my swag. You ours have
also
Over 18 fantasy points of. Then you mentioned
the home game against Houston,
four weeks from now they play Dallas. And so
who knows, by the way, Dallas may have clinched something
there. Maybe they're resting to started saying, we will see.
But anyway, certainly like the next three weeks I think
they're all interesting as well. So he's 83 percent of our
available, you don't love them. But again, this is just sort of
if you're desperate
trying to get me a name. One last thing that came in over
the break. So some breaking news here, just about
the Titans. Not really fantasy relevant but just sort of
interesting, the Titans have fired, the general.
Manager, John Robinson. Yeah, of the
first place in the division. Division is basically locked up
the gone to the playoffs but the timing is just too good AJ
problem.
So let me get this straight, John Robinson, you traded AJ
Brown, then he comes back and he lights us up. Yeah, and your
price doing. Yeah.
Robert Woods. Right. I mean,
whatever, you know, so it's a, it's a weird one there, but
maybe more changes coming to to the Titans. You know, we'll see
though, obviously replace John Robinson with in general,
manager, does that? General manager, keep my crabill or
bring it. His own staff, you know? So you'd want to keep
Mike Frankel. I would not be the best coach in the lake.
Yeah, you and I agree with that. But like again like their
first place, the division in the guy just got fired. So who
knows?
What's going on with Tennessee ownership? But just
anyway, here's the great thing about the NFL, it's never
boring.
d.c.
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,
