13:25 ↗

Not like, oh, he's not been great. We're talking two games ago, 32% completion percentage. 34% the game before that. That's very bad. Yeah. So I think I'm going to complete the trifecta here. I'm going to sell. I'm just, I'm a negative Nancy over here. There's a real Scrooge situation going on. Real Scrooge over here. I will, I'm going to buy it. I'm going to buy that average of.

13:54 ↗

Sometimes a player just can destroy a team, i.e. T.Y. Houston, Terry McLaurin, that average of eight for 96. And the Giants, they are beatable. They are, they are imploding. Joe Judge is saying some very weird things out there in the media. Also known as lies. Like, you know, some people call them weird statements. Other people say just lies.

14:21 ↗

I'm not saying he's lying. I'm just saying he's not telling the truth. Thank you. That's a much kinder way to say it. Which is a fact saying he's a liar. But, yeah, the Giants are, it's an implosion. What's going on over there? How are they supposed to keep him? I don't understand how you keep Joe Judge when it's been this bad.

14:44 ↗

It's not like they've been average. They haven't shown progression. Like if you were showing me like they're getting better, they're moving in the right direction, but it's not really there yet. They're still bad, but moving in the right direction. But it's not. It's like there's no glimmer of hope. There's no silver lining. The best thing you can say is, well, they've dealt with a ton of injuries.

15:07 ↗

Well, you don't want to know why they might have dealt with a ton of injuries? Because he works these guys to the freaking grindstone all season, all off season. So I don't know, man. I cannot fathom having a New York franchise and sticking with Joe Judge. So I've been two years for him. He did win six games as a rookie head coach. That has dropped to four so far. So it could be a four and 13. It could be five. It could be five at 12.

15:36 ↗

Yeah, they could have lost one more game with one more extra try this year. That was by herself from pristineauction.com. Pristingauction.com use our registration code ballers, and you will get a $10 credit for your first auction victory. News and notes from around the league. Whoa. Yeah, I mean, this one deserves the button. I know we just got in, but we still got to break it. Breaking news. Go ahead, Jay.

16:11 ↗

Well, this just happened as we started recording, but the Bengals Pro Bowl running back, Joe Mixen, tested positive today for COVID-19, and he will be out Sunday versus the Browns per league sources. So, Somaget P. Rine, last year, he was a league winner as the running back three in week 16 against the Texans. Are you, I mean... It just continues, Jay. The running back redemption tour continues. Yeah. Rashad Penny.

16:39 ↗

Sony Michelle. And now my dude, Somaget P. Ryan, can he win people some championships? I think that you should be picking him up immediately, just in case. We got to see how this shakes out. I'm a little, are you surprised that they've ruled him out already? It's like, I thought with the new protocol he could technically make it back. It's Wednesday. Yeah, I mean, a positive case. I'm not, I don't remember the, I read all of.

17:09 ↗

the details painstakingly and boringly. I don't remember if you're positive and unvaxed. Maybe you need that five-day window. All right. Well, let's see if this factors into it because head coach, Zach Taylor, has said he has not decided if Joe Burrow or other key starters will play or will rest against the Browns. The Bengals have secured their playoff spot. They're the number three seed right now. They do.

17:36 ↗

technically have a small chance at the number one seed if they win and then some other teams lose. Is that enough for Zach Taylor to try and go for it? Or do you play your starters? And that's now up in the air. That's very iffy. Yeah, I mean, I would hope that we know, you know, prior to Sunday morning, whether or not they're going to start. I was really surprised when I saw that because, like you said, they still have a legitimate shot.

18:02 ↗

at getting the number one seat, I realize some of that is out of their control. But if you have the chance to secure the buy week and home throughout the playoffs, like, I can't imagine not taking that. That being said, if Joe Burrow is actively hurt and you don't have Joe Mixin, then, yeah, I mean, I might shut it down. So you just got to pay attention. If they do shut it down, I still think Somaget P. Ryan could volume his way to a lot of relevance. And they're using him as a pass catcher as well.

18:31 ↗

he'll probably see three down work. Just to follow up, this is what the Bengals would need. They would need to win and have a loss by the Titans, the Chiefs, and the Patriots, or a win plus the Bill's win and the Titans and Chiefs lose. Yeah, okay, shut them now. Okay, shut them down. That's probably low enough odds where health is more important. You're probably playing next week.

19:00 ↗

And so I'd rather heal up this week. So, yeah, I mean, that's a little scary for a lot of players. I mean, if they shut down Joe Burrow, what are you going to get from? And like, you know, you've got Jamar Chase, the greatest revelation the NFL has ever seen. If he plays a quarter and stops or doesn't play because week 18, oh, man.

19:28 ↗

Yeah, it's tough. In Browns news, Baker Mayfield will have the off-season surgery. He is not going to play Week 18 case Keenham will play. And again, the Browns have placed De Ernest Johnson on the COVID list. We'll see if he makes it back. I guess if this is already Wednesday, maybe I'm wrong on my timeline for the COVID protocols. Johnson was yesterday. Okay. And I think was Wentz a Tuesday or was he Monday?

19:56 ↗

I don't recall. I don't remember the timeline there. Ravens head coach, John Harbaugh, has said Lamar Jackson has a chance to play in week 18. Okay. There is a report that the Titans are expecting Derek Henry to return to practice Wednesday. Now, the original timeline. The original. The original had him as possibly the fastest he could get back was to play in week 18.

20:25 ↗

I do not think he's going to play this week, but practicing this week is phenomenal for them. And obviously they could secure the buy week, which would give him, you know, this week plus next week of rest and then come back in the playoffs. And not just resting, but, you know, the opposite of that, getting back into shape. So we will see here. Clyde Edwards-Alair did not practice for the Kansas City Chiefs. He has a chance to play. His game is on Saturday.

20:55 ↗

So that's something to monitor because if Edward Dillera is out, then Daryl Williams is in your lineup. Teddy Bridgewater remains sidelined on Tuesday practice with the concussion. And we're putting this, is this for Kyle? Is this blurb specifically for the Borghogan? Yeah, well, you have a special one too, Mike. Well, I was skipping over it because it's not relevant, but I'll get to it. So Terrace Marshall Jr., second round pick of the Carolina Panthers was placed on IR. He could be great.

21:23 ↗

This is Kyle. Kyle loves Terrace Marshall Jr. Look, I loved the tape as well, but you learn to cut your losses early. And that's what I have done. Speaking of cutting your losses, the Cowboys have designated tight-in Blake Jarwin to return from the IR. So that's pretty cool. I went on a rant in the office yesterday, so I'll just share it. My process was sound.

21:52 ↗

My process of the Cowboys tight end was very sound. Look at Dr. Schultz. Getting it done a firmly entrenched tight end one for the entire season. I will say that. Maybe Schultz is better than Jorwin. Right. Don't look at that. Just look at the process. Now, if Jarnwin is activated for the game and plays in the game, does that? No.

22:16 ↗

That doesn't hinder you from starting the doctor? It does not. Dr. Schultz is their man this year. He is a free agent. Maybe he goes and gets a big bag of money, and then we're back. Oh, no. No, I won't let you do that to yourself. I'm like, I won't let you go back on Blake Jarwin. But I will. You can't stop me, no matter who you are. Before we get into the mailbag, I want to thank today's sponsor, Paint Your Life. Making memories.

You're going to be a fancy champ, so go to Fantasy champ.

24:52 ↗

Well, I don't want people going to fantasy champs with like multiple S's. Fantasy champs. Okay. But you see the reason for the pause? That's how a snake says it. Okay. Dot com. Anyway. This is some of your finest words. Thank you. Thank you. Fantasy champs, they've got awesome trophies. We just bought a trophy for ourselves. They also have, and I don't think we've ever highlighted this before, they have like the 56 inch trophies.

25:18 ↗

You want to really show up with like a life size, man-sized trophy. You can get that sucker and you carry that in. You don't carry a trophy of that size. You ride in. That's right. You ride it in. You put that trophy between your legs and you walk into your draft party as the most obnoxious person ever. And whenever you get a trophy or a belt and they have the customizable belts, add the championship rings to the...

25:44 ↗

cart. It's a $59 value. My favorite, the FFL Stunner ring or the bling ring. Right, right, right. And use the code free ring in your checkout process. And if you've got a trophy or a belt, you will get that ring for free at fantasychamp.com. Kyle, have you recovered from your devastating championship loss yet? I feel much better. That's fantastic because you're doing the mailbag drop. Oh, mailbag. Mail bag. Mail bag.

26:17 ↗

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Little early. Oh, yes. Yes. I mean, you just got to Arizona. But welcome to the party. And we show no mercy. No, I, that was a full diehard. I dropped the body onto the cop car. Welcome to the party, pal. Oh, man. Thank you, Kyle. That was sensational. The mailbag, if you want to get in for our next mailbag, you can visit the site, click, submit a question, or.

26:43 ↗

You can call us at 302-464 TFFB. Leave us a voicemail. Make it clear, concise. Don't mess up because Brooks might put you on blast. Oh, that was so great. It's very possible that he might do that. But speaking of voicemails. Hey, ballers, this is Laura. So I had five teams eliminated during the horrendous week of team. And to be honest, I'm still not over it.
