Fantasy Football - Week 11 Studs & Duds + My Guy Redemption Tour - Podcast for 11/17

to the fantasy footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Oh, welcome in. A little dirt on the end there. I don't know, man. It can't all be the same, Mike. Oh, I know it. Not all weeks are the same. Oh, this week. Yeah, this was a week. This week sucked, man. This week was... truly insane because I feel like it's it's weighted very heavily like this week injury wise horrifically bad for a lot of teams out there horrifically bad and then but then like I mean my team just like like if you played brissette and Michael Wilson you were fine like me that wasn't that wasn't supposed to be the brag that it sounded like it's more of the there were many guys who went nuclear

this weekend i saw it written out as week 11 w ea k like that's how i mean you can just look at like we play in median leagues meaning that those leagues are where you you play where half of the league uh what the score of half the league you get a point for being on the you're doing a real real bad job yeah yeah glad you know Thank you for jumping in. Hold up. Hold up. Let me explain the unexplainable. Okay. But yeah. So every every week there is a score of basically what the sixth best team scored. And it's usually around 125 points. Would you say for our league? It's the league average. Yeah. It's just the league median, man.

Not everybody plays in that type of format. I just say the sixth best I mean, it's just, we're all having a good time here. Listen, the point is, is the average score in leagues is way down this week. That's what the point was, is the overall. What was ours in our, what is it projected right now? Like 108? Yeah, well, I mean, I think it might be lower than that. Yeah, it's at 92 or so. It's at 92 right now. And I think based on looking at the league, there were, it was a have and have not situation. Your team struggled.

None of your players scored points. There were like six or seven other teams in the same boat, which is going to allow Al Borland to get a stupid median win and continue to stave off watering no matter how many points my team scores. Sorry. Sorry, that became quite personal. But it was weird. And like you said, there were injuries. There were big performances, but there were a lot of duds. There were some. You know, my guy redemption tour continued in a big way. I mean, George Kittled, Trayvion, and Jameson had big weeks. It's nice. Tet Macmillan. Yeah, Tet got into the end zone twice. We were just talking about him needing to have that game, and he did. Jason's been on the Tet McMillan celebration tour for three or four weeks, and you got a monster game from him. So.

There's some good to reflect on. We got all of your Monday punday submissions. You know, I don't know if you are aware of this, but I went out this week and I traded everything for, you know, to go hard and win this week. Yeah, you went all in. And so one of my decisions. And you're still about 500. One of my decisions was I went out and I traded away my third round pick for my choice of Roma Dunesay or Tet. You could have taken Tet? Yeah. But I feel like the man. I preferred Rome. I wanted Rome. He's, you know, he's been a top 10-yard receiver. Well, at least this week, I feel real bad about it. Well, I didn't know you had the choice. Yeah. Well, I've been the Ted McMillan stand. Yeah. No, I chose to go to Rome for Rome. Yeah. Yeah. And now you are in a Coliseum of Sadness. Yeah. Um.

It'll get better. You had JT on by. You don't know what a week's supposed to feel like. This is what it's like for everybody all the time. Jonathan Taylor leaves and my team's like, ah, okay, guys, we take this week off. Do you know how much heavy lifting he was doing? I mean, literally every single player on my team except for one scored five or fewer points. That's insane. I wonder if that's happened a few other times you didn't notice because John and Taylor had 57 points. But we got all of your reactions and I will tell you it was.

at least four to five to one negative pun submissions because of the way this week went. To be holly and jolly. Right. No, so let's react with your submissions here. Monday, Punday for Monday, November 17th, week 11. Here we go. Let's get sophisticated. All right. Well, Jason, I'll let you start it off there. Oh, all right. Well. Teteroa McMillians. Hooray McBride. And Yevion Henderson. Trayvion. Henderson. Okay. What about Christian McCaff three? Yeah. Yeah. And this guy. Oh, how about this? Kenneth Runner the third. That's right. We knew it was going to happen, Mike. Yeah. Nico Ballin. Oh, Meet Higgins is back. Yeah, and Travis E.T.N. Zone. Oh, and To Infinity. And Bejong. And the bad. Oh, no.

Sham Darnold? And, uh, same Darnold. Uh-huh. Ammon Raw St. Clown. How dare you? Ameca. Ekekeke. Uh, what is happening? Justin Hurtbert. R.J. Hardley. And Ricky disappear, Saul. That's a good one. Arande Sadsden. Yeah, his teammate's sad, McConkey. Yeah, yeah. Woody farts. I, you know, you got a lot of carry. Um, lame, Mar Jackson. Yeah, this is the best one. Quinn Sean Butkins. A divot say whiff. Get a whiff of that Buckkins. Cade forgotten. Oh, man. Kaye forgotten. Thank you. Instagram at Fantasy Footballers at the FF Ballers on X. Thank you for your submissions. Good work. Whoever put that one in? Not bad, right? I don't know how they think of these things. No.

It honestly takes a lot of effort for me not to put all. It's all buttoned parts and poop. Yeah. Children out there. We would never. Talk some news. News and notes from around the league. Presented by progressive insurance. You see median scoring. Break this down a little bit. The sixth highest team. If you take the top five, you subtract them out. Man, it was great because you took over. You just, yeah. I thought it was important for the people to understand. You're like, get out of the way I got this. People still don't understand what it is. No, no clue. Goodness, no. Um, well, didn't think we'd have this happening. Oh man. The league is now looking into a spitting incident that took place between Jamar Chase and Jalen Ramsey. Um,

Jamar Chase was unaware that this game was being filmed. I mean, how many cameras you got on this? Oh, I didn't spit. No, I didn't do that. I don't do that. Yeah, well. Yeah, you did, dude. This wasn't AI. I mean, so the, he could miss a game. I think he will, actually. Yeah, it, Jalen, if you missed it, Jamar Chase and Jalen Ramsey got the better of Jamar Chase all day. And Chase was getting frustrated. They're, you know, things are getting heated. He ends up, Chase. grabs Ramsey by the face mask and, like, is screaming at him. I was a little surprised that no, there was no flags there, but they let that one go. And then, like, two plays later, Ramsey does, looks like, what is the same thing? Like, grabs Chase's mask, but he also does a punch motion. He gets booted right away. And you're like, oh, well, I guess, I guess Jamar Chase got the better of Ramsey. And now, now there's videos of Chase's.

Yeah, he spit on him. Pretty clearly spitting on Jalen Ramsey and because. And explain what spitting on someone is. So when you got, you got this saliva and it's in your mouth, but you're just sometimes you usually swallow it, but then like if you were to do the opposite, yeah, that's what he that's what Jamar Chase did. Like because Ramsey got kicked out of the game and Jamar Chase didn't. I would guess he will. Because they normally call that sometimes if you get kicked out, it's game served almost. Yeah. So I'm guessing that Jamar will probably end up missing a game. All right. Well, we've avoided it long enough. It's injury assault time. Before the weekend began, Sam Laporta. We should have known it was coming. Sam Laporta placed on IR with a back injury. So he's missing at least four games.

That escalated quickly. Yeah, that went from like Wednesday, you're kind of limited. Goodbye. His back is hurting and he's not going to play for a month. J.K. Dobbins also placed on IR. It was a concern. It was a Liss Frank injury. It is a hip drop tackle to a Liss Frank. And it seems like it will be season ending. Certainly for fantasy purposes. He already underwin surgery. They are, I think they're hopeful that if they were to make the Super Bowl, which is he could. Yeah, I saw that language too, but it's just that. Come on. What? If you make it to the Super Bowl, it's because RJ Harvey took off. But the Leporta injury, especially again, we saw the Lions offense didn't do anything in Jameson Williams still had a monster game. So Loporta being out, the priority to give. I mean, it's like the most plain thing to see. The routes have changed. I mean, Jameson Williams is getting the ball on crossers. Yes. Where he's faster than everybody. This is how, if you only threw the ball deep,

Only threw the ball deep to Jalen Waddle. That's what they were doing with Jameson Williams to begin the year. When you get Jalen Waddle across the middle, he's faster than everybody. Use the speed. Jalen was evaluated for an ankle injury. He said this morning he could have returned. Oh. But Kenneth Gainwell got the majority of the snaps after the injury and went crazy again. Gainwell looked great. He really did. 26 fantasy points for Old Al Borland stupid pants over there. Aaron Rogers exited early with a left wrist injury. Didn't return. Undergoing tests, I heard some concern of a slight fracture. This is left wrist. Yeah, it's his non-throwing arm. He's pushing to play, but we'll have to wait and see. We had... She did a Mason Rudolph stash. Oh, is he got a mustache? It has to make him look better than what he looked like before. It looked like someone who's trying to disguise themselves. I'm not Mason Rudolph. No, no. I'm Jason Rudolph. Drake London.

was injured, but is not believed to have suffered a major knee injury. That's good news, except Michael Pinnock's in the same game. There were multiple reports yesterday that said, it's not believed that he suffered a major knee injury. And now this morning, it's looking season-ending knee injury, potentially for Michael Pinnock's. He's seeking a second opinion, which is always a bad sign. And it's going to be Kirk Cousins probably. Who I have confidence can lose as much as Michael Pinnock's. I think he can too, but I will say this. It feels very unfair for Kirk Cousins where it's like he's going to get now his second start. And last time he had no Drake London for that start. Now it's like, Drake, take a week off. You know, this is not a major knee injury, but like. Let's make Cousins look bad. It's going to be so bad. I forgot about that. Yeah. I would have a little bit of concern that like it was just really good for Drake London with Michael Pinnix.

whether the team, like he had back-to-back number one weeks, Michael Pinnock's, that's where he goes with the football. It's probably not the best thing to win the game, is my thought. And Kirk Cousins is probably going to spread the ball around at least a little bit more. Not that you would binge Drake London. It's just when you're cruising at number one, you kind of don't want to change. No, don't love it. Don't love it for Bejohn, because I think the offense is just worse with Cousins. You realize five of the last six games? for drake london he has been a top five wide receiver on the week that's that's exactly yeah i don't think it gets stays there no josh jacobs just taking a look at yeah uh exited early with the left knee injury undergoing more test twice he tried yeah he tried to come back and then left again they also believe he avoided a significant injury i hope it's not the same people we're talking about panics that doesn't mean you don't miss time just means you don't miss the season

Jordan Love evaluated for a concussion, came back to the game. Calvin Ridley came back for a minute and broke his fibula. Oh, man. He's out for the season. Oh, it was a bummer. Chimray D.K. left with a concussion. It was ruled out at halftime. I even think I O'Manner got hurt in this game. Everyone got hurt. Kamani Vidal? Yeah. I mean... It was the red light week. Yeah, you hate to say it. He didn't return thigh injury. That whole team, I mean, they didn't make the trip. No. I mean, that was the bloodbath of the week. The charges got shellacked. And Justin Herbert was just getting beat up. Yeah, that offensive line is, there isn't one. Is that the offensive line that Pat McAfee was, I think that's the one that he was highlighting. Did you see that clip? Mm-mm. I mean, because they, when they introduced the offensive linemen, they show their PFF ranks. Oh, yeah. And he went through the PFF ranks on the Chargers. And it was literally, it was like,

And he did it in a really funny way, too. He's like, all right, you got Mackay Beckton here, 31 of 32. Then you got this guy, 29 of 29. Then you got this guy, he's 29 of 30. Like the offensive line, or lack thereof, now you have Justin Herbert that is getting. Yeah, I mean, Herbert got knocked out early, right before halftime. I mean, this thing was a full pile drive into the ground. Looked like he might have been shaking up. He came back, but, I mean, he was getting beat up. Good time for a bye week. Yeah. We have Dylan Gabriel leaving with a concussion where, and then Shadour Sanders comes in. Oh, we got to see. That was the event. Do you realize, did you see the news this morning, Justine Anderson reporting? It's got to be very positive for Shadoor Sanders. She seems to like him. It was the very first snaps he's ever had with any of the first team offensive players. Yeah, that's cool to do out there in the fourth. And I get it, you know, Stefansky that Dylan Gabriel, aka Gillen,

Dabriel is your guy, but you still might want the backup QB to get some snaps and get some reps. Yeah, no, it's ridiculous. That seems very weird. But it's a good chance that he's going to start again this week. Kyle's reporting other backup QB, so that's pretty normal. I would think that if you have two rookies that you would want to at least get Sanders some of the reps. Yeah, it's very normal for your backup to not be taking first team reps. That makes sense. But. it's not very normal for your starter to be Dylan Gabriel. Right. You know what I mean? So, like, if that is your starter, you know at some point you're, you're going to see the other guy. Oh, we have, we have an update. Drake London suffered a PCL spray. Okay. So he's out this week of potentially more. Is he on any of your teams? Yeah, my main dynasty wide receiver. How'd that league go? I didn't look at, did you win? Better than, I mean, nothing could, yeah, I'm going to win there, but. Okay. Yeah, nothing could have gone as bad as league record.

The other injury news, because there's more. Amari DiMarcato exited super early in the Cardinals game. Probably would have been pretty good considering there were 57 pass attempts, and he would have caught some of them. Yeah, maybe. Instead, 18 of those went to Michael Wilson. Tyler Higbee ankle injury. That's one you might want to keep a little bit of an eye on because the snap counts between Terrence Ferguson, the rookie tight end, who I like a lot, and Higby were both around the 40% mark. Colby was the one who ended up with a touchdown. Oh, yeah, you're right. Revenge game. Yeah, Bashal Tudin, he was good and then left with an ankle injury. That one, two, it will be, I'll have to like break some more things down, look more into it, because Tudin was getting a lot of work. Like he was playing over E. It was very frustrating. Wasn't the E.N a start of the week by somebody this week? Or maybe not. Maybe. I don't know. Let's say, yeah, because he was great. Yeah, I was feeling bad about that because of the Tudan involvement, but.

Jackson Dart still in concussion protocol. CJ Stroud probably not ready to return. Maybe he won't be ready to return until they lose. Goodness. That might be it. There were some dots in that game by Davis Mills to win the game. I know he wasn't great the whole time. I'm just saying big play, big throws, sideline ball to Nico. Nico is really good at football. It's forever ago, but it's like General Mills before they drafted Stroud, he seemed like a guy who might get a chance to actually be a starter. And I think his neck looks, it doesn't look longer. Just the same length? Same or less. He's not growing anymore. Same or less. Maybe did some shoulder work. I mean, gravity. He's just getting older. You know what? He needs to just, he needs to work out.

Only his traps. Yeah, traps only. Traps only. All right. That was news and notes. Sponsored by Progressive Insurance, quote today at progressive.

Well, this is this one.

This is the week you want if you got them and the week you fear if you're facing him. It's Josh Allen for all of the touchdowns. Six touchdowns. Yep. 303 through the air, six for 40 and three on the ground. This game was drunk because first of all, the game went back and forth, lead change every drive for the majority of the game. It was incredible football. But from a fantasy perspective, you're telling me Josh Allen has six touchdowns. You're telling me Baker has a great game, and the bills score 44 points, and the buck scored. And you're like, but you can't, but you're like, where did it go? Abuka, bad game. Tez, Tez, bad game. Kalish, care, bad game. Nothing. Kalish Kir. Like, anybody you would start had a bad game with 70, like, points scored out. Where did they go? Like, I was like,

It makes no sense. Where are the points? You're just leaking out the bucket. Horrible. Everybody. It makes no sense. No, you're right. Oh, well, one of the catches, the 42-yard touchdown was to a player who I can't remember or name right now for the bills. Because they mixed up their entire wide receiver room. Shavers. Key on, yeah, Keon Coleman's, uh, uh, benching. Yeah, Keaum was, Gabe Davis now, he's like, I've been here the whole time. Tyrell Shavers. Yeah, you know, spot start of the week. I'm sure if you go back to the tape, you'll find that. Josh Allen, 42 fantasy points. Bryce Young, 31 fantasy points. Okay. See, just throw touchdowns at 10. And you get fancy points. I've been trying to tell you. Jacoby Brissette.

broke the regular season record for total completions in a game with 47. Not the Cardinals. No, no, no, the NFL record. The NFL record. When you go 47 for 57 for 452 yards and three touchdowns and you get blasted, the Cardinals were blown out, I will not be surprised if there are firings this week. I mean, it was already reported that they are safe. I got bad news for you. Well, no, I don't mean like Gannon. I just mean a fall guy. I just mean a coordinator, maybe special teams after that 98-yard kickoff return. Maybe we toss a couple of assistants into the trash can. I hate this team. I hate this team. I hate them so much. They are the worst. Brissette now in five starts has.

He's been a quarterback one in every single one of them. He's been great. He didn't have Harrison. So he turned Michael Wilson into the league leader in total receiving yards in a game. Nobody's had more than 185. Michael Wilson. Yeah. Wild. I made a very late pivot from Luther Burden to Michael Wilson this week. Oh. Very late. I don't remember who we said Wilson over on the show. I think we brought him up quite a bit. We brought him up as just. I mean, it was nasty, but holy crap. Nasty, beautiful. Yeah. Justin Fields with 19 fancy points. And Brock Purdy back from injury. Cardinals are the perfect foil to get that team going. Brock Purdy loves George so much. Yeah, Mike's been waiting for this for so long. Oh, man. Running backs top scores of the week, Sean Tucker, who looked amazing. Dude. We brought him up as like, dude.

This is going to happen at some point in time. It was Rashad's been that bad. You have to give him the work. And what was more impressive to me was not just the between the tackles running. It's the fact he looked. so fast in the receiving game up the right side of the field on that touchdown. They got him the ball in space another time. Hard to bring down super fast. This is where the points went for the Buccaneers. Sean Tucker said, give me that. And he was great, but it's such a, it's the perfect example of like Sean Tucker's life. It's like, ah, great. He's overtaking. And then Bucky's going to come back. Right to the bench. Right to the bench. CMC keeps.

Going. I think somebody tweeted directly at Hitman. All your dudes are doing it this week. Yeah. CMC. Trayvion back to back. And I mean, long ago, Sean Tucker was my dude. Yeah. You're on fire right now. Yeah. This is it, guys. I got to leave. Yeah, you got to, you got to. That's it for me. Yeah. Goodbye everybody. Tucker McCaffrey Henderson, Bejohn back into the end zone. He heard what we said. about how many more touchdowns Travion had than him on the year. He's like, Alger's still got one. Give me two more. We'll see what happens with Kirk Cousins. Gainabal had the big game. E.N. ended up with two scores. Derek Henry looked great against Cleveland and ended up over 101. A. Chan, Unstoppable. Even when he's having a bad game, he's not going to in there. It's amazing. I don't think he can have a bad game. Boy, he got a big old garbagey last second.

One of those, you throw it to the guy when the clock's running out and he just gets to run a bunch of yards. That was nice. James Cook got into the end zone in the receiving game. Nice, nice game. They play on Thursday. And then there was a drive in this game for Seattle where it was all Charbonnet and Halani. And I sent Mike a note and I was like, what is happening with Ken Walker? This is the least reliable player ever. And Walker was already very efficient on the day. Now 16 for 67 and scored. And they. And caught passes. I mean, he had the bulk of the work. This is why you had a week of weeks, Mike. We bring him up as the only, the only bruise upon your current hot streak and he comes out and puts up 20. Yeah, you just, I mean, Sam Darnold, but yeah, four interceptions. Like Sam Darnold was not playing well. He was not seeing the field. And it still took until like this, like they almost won this game. They missed a field goal.

As the clock expired to win this game, 19 or they lost 19 to 21, Sam Darnel's playing terrible. And it took until the second half for them to finally be like, well, fine. Let's try this. Okay, fine. We'll let Ken Walker go. Oh, what happened? And you know what? Right back to the bench. He must do something on the sideline every game. It's so weird. It seems like unlikable for some reason. But he had a great fantasy day. Jemir Gibbs wasn't good on the ground. Was great. In space, again, 5-4-107 in the receiving game. Devon Singletary scored twice, even though Tracy doubled up the rushing yardage. Yeah, Tracy looked good. They both looked good. They used Devon Singletary more in the short-yardage area, so he's not going to be quite as efficient. But around the goal line, you know, Tracy hasn't had a carry inside the five-yard line all season. Devon Singletary has four. So it seems like that's more their plan.
