Week 15 Studs & Duds + Mid-Show Surprises, Monday Punday - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/19

as disappointing as he was at the quarterback position to me, Miles Sanders against the Chicago Bears where running backs are just destroying them for fantasy purposes, for real life NFL purposes. He didn't touch the ball until like midway through the second quarter. He finishes with 11 for 42, had a fumble. It was. mind boggling that the plan did not involve him more and so this one to me like he was in my draft king's lineup because it was he's one of the best plays of the week he's great he's got the matchup and it did not happen it was devastating he did get two carries inside the five yard line obviously they did not turn into touchdowns and a massive disappointment

Joe Mixing was awful. Poor fantasy players, Zonovan Knight, awful. Deontza Foreman, worse than awful. He was a single point player. Yeah, we have a family league where we manage some team with our kids and everything. The league that I manage, or the team I managed, I should say, with my son. We snuck into the playoffs. Our running backs this week, Jonathan Taylor and Deontza Forman. So you got like two points? Yeah. Are you out? More than likely. That's impressive. That's an impressive answer. Yeah. My son, I believe, needs like six points from Aaron Jones. Yep. Jamal Williams, also a dud. And then Rashad White, this one was a huge bummer. Yes. Just two targets in this game. He had more carries than Fournette by one, but Fournette had four targets. And this team fell apart. They suck.

They do suck. And what's crazy is in the sucken ears. Oh, yeah, we got them. Very nice. Bust it. What was crazy is the beginning of this game was like, hey, are the bucks back? Yep. Or did they figure something out? I instantly thought in the first half going like, oh my gosh, Brady's going to do it again in the playoff. That's what I thought. Yeah. And then collapse Apatomas. So wait, they lost, the Falcons lost, the Panthers lost, right? It's a gross division. But the saints are still in it. Yeah. The only reason the Saints won is because they played against the divisions. Because they played against Ritter and they like that game came down to the wire. Yeah. Against Ritter who I believe. Oh, he was. Check the box score. I don't think he threw for a hundred yards. He was. It was not a good first performance. No, no. Well, let's move on to wide receiver duds and I'm going to blitz these a little bit. Just tell me.

Tell me if you're worried about next week. That's the headline for sure. People don't need to dwell anymore on the sadness of this week. If they made it through with these players, are you worried? Devante Adams. Nope. Stefan Diggs. No. Gabe Davis. For him, it's not so bad. What about Chris Nolave? I am worried. Sure. Cleveland next week. I am worried about Chris Olave because it's been a stretch of less production and fewer snaps. Like, I don't know why, but he has... Rashid Shahid is awesome. He's legit. He's really good. That dude's so fast. Who's got him in Dynasty? Oh, man. But the last... I'm looking at his offensive snap percentage, Chris Olave, and the last month, 49, 67, 69, and 49% of snaps... What?

Which I don't know why that has happened. You know, prior to that, 77, 90% of snap. So what if I could interest you in the, uh, an over under of 33.5 points against Cleveland next week? You could, that's not right. Yes, it is. That's the opening line. That is not. 33. That's not. It's been bet down from 34 and a half earlier today. But yeah, it's 33 and a half right now. What? They're considering. Have you seen the Saints offense? Have you seen Deshawn Watson playing? They're considering doing just a need-to-kneed offense. Back and forth, knees, knees, knees, punt. You have me very uninterested. I am also scared of Mike Williams. He's, what? What happened yesterday? At Indianapolis next week. It could be fine. But Big Mike, when does he show up? When does he not? He shows up to win the game at the end.

Four for 67. Two of his receptions were on that final comeback. Which great. I mean, you salvaged a little bit from Mike. I would keep playing him. Hollywood? Hollywood, you gotta be worried. If it's mixed sorely, you gotta, you bail out. Yeah. Amari Cooper, four for 58. I mean, he's still dealing with the hip injury. But can I interest you in 33 point over under? Jacobi Myers, two for 47, six targets. I mean. I'm okay with Myers against Cincinnati next week. I actually, I don't mind it. I feel so bad for him. I know it was his fault, but I just, as a human. Yes. Can we hit the button for Mark Andrews? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I know, I know, I feel like he is the, Mike Evans of the tied-in position right now. And we're still flat. You hit the button twice, didn't you? Look, I told him, I told him last time. If he doesn't take that away for me.

I'm not going to reprogram not hitting the ending button. Oh man, the lights are just still going. This is 100% on Al. I'm not taking any responsibility whatsoever. I warned him. Owl came to us. He's like, guys, I got these big ideas for lighting upgrades. Yes. But you will have to reconfigure the way that your brain works for the whole show. We, yeah. I want to choose how long the panic alarm goes, Al. Do you hear me? I hear you. I might want it to run for half an hour. Since the buy week for Mark Andrews, which was in week 10th. Yeah. Let's read these out. Since the by week. He has not had a touchdown. And I mean, you're talking, here's his fantasy points on a weekly basis. 9.3. 9. Okay. Whatever. You know, that's tight in. 7.4, 2.7, 4.6. Yeah. The games with Huntley have been.

I mean, none of these are marked Andrews numbers. That's the headline. He's not a difference maker in any way right now. And he was phenomenal to start the year. I mean, you know, you look at the first up through week six, he only had one bad performance, had several amazing performance. It looked at that point in the season, six weeks in, that he was the pick to have over Kelsey. Yeah. And then he got injured in week eight. and then you've lost Lamar, so you've got to be worried, and you need Lamar back, and I don't know if Lamar's going to be back this week. So if Lamar's not back, because this matters, and I know we'll talk more about it during the week and during waivers. Are you playing like Dawson Knox in a plus matchup against Chicago? Oh, my gosh. Over trying to, I mean, this is exactly like Mike Evans situation. This is where, except for you have a worst quarterback, so you can actually be more predictive on.

Atlanta Falcons is the matchup coming up, which is a great matchup for tight ends in general, and he's still getting the targets. 7, 6, 7, 7 targets. So you just stay with Andrews? I would stay with Andrews. I mean, you know, it sucks to have to go through bad stretches. Yeah, Dawson Knox might be too low down the probability. But Evan Ingram right now, the way he's playing with his targets? Evans floor has to be safer. That's what I think, too. Baltimore got smashed. What a world. I mean, they got absolutely destroyed. They put up three points. Yeah, that's not a lot. Not enough. Pat Fryermuth. You think he's healthy? I don't. No, it was the impossible situation of... Zero targets. And he was out there, at least for some of the game. I don't know his actual snap percentage, but you saw him running routes. He missed multiple days with the foot injury.

And then gets the, but then coming into the game, it's no injury designation. And it's like, I don't know at this point. It's like, what do you do with those situations? He played 56% of the snaps, which is exactly. The last two weeks prior to that was 55%, 56%, now another 56%. And obviously we've seen him be okay for fantasy in those previous. I think you got to bail out. Yeah, for sure. Are you worried? Here's the list. Dalton Schultz. No. No. Cole Komett. I'm not worried because he is what he is, which is a streamer. Hawkinson? No, nine targets again. I'm fine with Hawkinson. But I do think it is worth saying Hawkinson sucks. He keeps dropping balls. He's a really, really, really good player who has some mental governor in his brain that just makes him. The hawk strap.

play poorly. He has so much opportunity to be outstandingly great. And he makes problems for himself over and over and over and over. And it hasn't gone away this long into a career. You sound like you're describing Evan Ingram in New York. That literally sounds like the description of Evan Ingram in New York. Greg Dulcich, two targets, one catch. And yet Eric Tomlinson, the other tight end, three for 28 with the score. So the. The process was correct of chasing the tight end against Arizona, but Brett Rippin preferred not the starting tight end. For a brief portion of Sunday, the Patriots had tied Arizona with the most touchdowns given up to the tight end position. Arizona said, we got this. Yeah. That's our record. They gave up to Nun to Dulcich. Make some real sketch moving forward the way that this offense is playing.

Gerald Everett 4-4-42. Yeah, he is who he is at this point. Nijoku. Man, I can't. It's so different to say it that way. Oh, I have really struggled. So we're trying to make, just, you know, let's peel back the curtain. Sure. Trying to make the transition from Njoku to Njoku. And the problem is because we've heard, what your tongue has to do is like complete opposite. So if you start, especially if it's David, you're so used saying David in Joku. And my tongue's in the wrong spot. I'm willing to make the change. It's like, I tried. We'll get there. I gave it an hour. This is normally when we lean on a nickname. Oh, that's a good point. Be thinking about it. Okay. I don't have one right now. We'll do. All right. We are going to, we're going to shut it down. We'll be back with waivers, streamers on tomorrow's show. And boy, it's going to be a big week. I'm excited. Yeah. We still, it's not done. I know. There's a lot of important fantasy pieces going tonight.

May all of your important pieces do well. Your opponents do poorly. Absolutely. Enjoy the evening. We will see you in the morning, Foot Clan. Enjoy the game. Goodbye.
