had the most unbelievable fantasy season. You had the Pat Mahomes Tyreek Hill stack. Yeah. And it was unbelievable. He was great the whole season except week 15, I believe. Yeah, that's when I lost. This past week he had a bust game where all of a sudden all of the Pat Mahomes owners were talking about last week? Last year. Oh, I got you. Yep. Last year, week 15. And then they were out. But Christian McCaffrey is saying, nope, hop on the back.

28:02 ↗

To the touchdown. It was a studs kind of week. Ezekiel Elliott with a monster game. Sequin Barclay finally had a humongous game. Just took the dolphins. Just took the dolphins. And then Chris Carson. Let's go. 24 for 133 and 2. Now here's the thing. You guaranteed top 5. Where's he at right now? He can't be top 5.

28:25 ↗

I think he's there. All right. I'm going to check. You check. We'll give credit to Miles Sanders. Miles Sanders with 19 for 122 and 1. I bet you Chris Carson's right at 5. I think he's outside. I think he's. Which is just a stare. That's not fair. Yes, because that's obviously not fair. That's all relative to what's around him and you had some big games. I think it's close. But what I'm looking at here, you know, Sequin 24 for 112 and 2.

28:51 ↗

Zeke 24 for one. He's six. Who's ahead of him? Oh, Drake. Drake, McCaffrey, Sanders, Elliott, and Sequin. Not if it's a, he's number one if it's a Seattle only league. That is factual. All right. Mark Ingram, nice game. Nick Chubb, a bunch of big runs against Arizona, got into the end zone. Tony Pollard, who I don't think any fanciona could ever play. But for the second time this year, put up 100 in the same game that Ezekiel Elliott put up 100. So Pollard is interesting.

29:21 ↗

So that was his second 100-yard rushing game of the season. That is now two more than Todd Gurley and Levion Bell combined. Wait, Gurley has no 100-yard on the ground games? That is correct. Based on that mathematics there? Yeah. Gurley... Here's the funniest thing with Todd Gurley. Had a terribly good game. Todd Gurley sucked. He had 20 yards. He had 20 rushing yards. I thought it was a typo to see him in the studs, but he scored twice. Yes. He had 18 receiving yards. So collectively...

29:51 ↗

Could not get to 40 yards. But when you get two touchdowns, your fantasy day is safe. And Rams, everybody relying on the Rams. Oh, my goodness. What garbage. I mean. Everybody let you down. Everybody golf, cooks. Not really. Cup. But then garbage time. But yes. But then garbage time happened. It was like, oh, cup ended up fine. He got a touchdown when and the little dump offs on the last couple drives when they didn't matter.

30:18 ↗

Gurley got two, golf was fine. Woods was a pure bust. Woods was a devastating, huge disappointment. Four for 17. But, yeah, garbage time is powerful. Mike Boone ended up with two touchdowns, also had 56 yards running. They can run the ball there. So if Madison is out again, Mike Boone is the most trusted over Amir Abdullah by that team. So Boone would be the pickup. We make the jokes of Abdullah because of the Abdullah Express, but Mike Boone is definitely the guy.

30:47 ↗

But it could be Madison. And it could be Cook, so stay tuned for tomorrow's show. And he just keeps doing it. Joseph Mixin. You love him. 25 for 136 against New England. They keep giving him the ball. The game was competitive for a while until New England defense time. But, I mean, he's been a monster. He's the RB6 since week 8 on the worst team in football. That's all I'm a – that shouldn't happen.

31:16 ↗

Unless you're great. No. And not only are they a bad team. It really shouldn't be happening because one, they're a bad team. Two, they also have a bad offensive line. And three, he's not that involved in the passing game. Not that he's not involved, but like he's not Saquan last year where he's getting 10 targets every game. That was how he was saved when he was on a bad team with a bad offensive line. How Joe Mixon is constantly doing this is just superhuman. Yeah. And what's crazy.

31:45 ↗

is that he was so bad the first half of the year, averaging 36 rushing yards per game through the first seven weeks of the season. People were cutting Joe Mixon. What? How did he? I traded for him at that point in the season because it was just worth the shot. Worth the shot on the talent. And here he is. I feel like, I feel like if we broke into his home, we could find the lamp. We could, we could find, and we would get our own three wishes.

32:14 ↗

Because he must have found this about week seven. I still think his year's a little deceptive. That's all I'm saying. He had a couple of games that were so bad that you couldn't even look at the box score without throwing up. Like when he scored, I don't know, when he had like 10 yards rushing, right? And he didn't do anything for a couple of these games. And then he just turned it on. So looking to next year, you imagine this team is going to give it to him again. Oh, my gosh. What are you looking at?

32:41 ↗

I'm sorry, I was distracted by a comment from our editor-in-chief, Kyle, the Borgogan. Do you know he's going to be in the championship in our Dino Junior League? I do. He's got the team with, what, the lowest points scored? Lowest points scored. His team is straight trash. He has Kenyon Drake, huh? He's been riding the Kenyon Drake wave.

33:07 ↗

I mean, he had Melvin Gordon go out there and put up five points. He had Justin Watson in his lineup. And he's... Is that your fault? Well, I hope so. I hope so. But Justin Watson now next week will probably be great because he's in his lineup. It's just unbelievable. To win a title. To win a title. All right. Big time receiving options this week. Julio, multiple touchdown Jones. Look, we got him on the phone. Yeah. We told it to him straight.

33:33 ↗

And then he caught, then he was targeted. Do you know what his target share was? Did you hear about it? I don't know the share because I don't know how percentages work. But I do know the number. And it's unbelievable. Yeah, his target share was 51%. So more than half of Matt Ryan's throws went to one guy. They also won. 20 targets, two touchdowns, 134 yards.

34:01 ↗

That's how you beat Adam Rank. Thank you, Julio. Thank you. Bradshaw Derryman, we mentioned it 5 for 1, 13, and 3. Currently, Perryman's hamstring is intact and well, right? Give it a week. The targets are going to be there for Perryman next week, 10 or more. Jameson Crowder, we saw the Thursday game, 6 for 90 and 2. Just forget about him. Pittsburgh next week. Terry McLaurin, he's so good. He is out.

34:28 ↗

standing. And over the last several weeks, I have moved him down in my rankings week after week after week. Yeah, the Haskins effect. The Haskins effect. And until this last week, it has been good. It has worked out telling people, please do not start Terry McLaren. I hope you started him, but I wouldn't blame him. He wouldn't have been in my lineup. And now is really like, okay, I don't know what to do because now you've seen a little bit of connection. Dwayne Haskins actually looked good when he got to play a

34:59 ↗

a really poor defense. No, he's got giants next week. And now he's got the Giants. I think McLaren's in your lineup. Probably. He's got too much big playability. He's done. He's had those monstrous plays three or four times this year. Tyree Kill 5'467 and 2. The tandem of Anthony Miller and Alan Robinson. Once again, huge performances. 14 targets for Robinson. 15 targets for Miller. Kansas City next week. Tough secondary. But they're at home.

35:27 ↗

And Miller has just, you're kind of riding the on-fire philosophy with both these guys. It will be very, very interesting because Kansas City on paper, you look at it and you think this is a great match of Kansas City can score. You're going to need to throw the ball. And it hasn't worked out that way over the last 10, now 11 weeks. Kansas City is the number one worst matchup for wide receiver scoring fantasy points. So it's going to be a court. Cortland Sutton thought. Yeah, it's going to be a real push comes to shoves.

35:56 ↗

situation when you're talking about Anthony Miller. Alan Robinson, he's got enough of a history where you just lock him in. Anthony Miller is four weeks in a row of being just a really solid option. Yeah, and I think that, again, the reason that I liked Miller heading into the Detroit game was simply due to the massive target share. And nothing about this past week changed it. 15 targets. If...

36:23 ↗

Kansas City can be great, but if the only players you can throw the football to are Alan Robinson and Anthony Miller, and you give him 12 targets each, I'm probably going to be happy with the result. So you're saying if Taylor Gabriel continues to be out, that Anthony Miller would be in your line. I think he would be. Well, let me ask you this. Anthony Miller against Kansas City, Terry McLaren against the Giants. So that's kind of a safety versus ceiling situation. Miller's been a top 12 guy now.

36:51 ↗

two out of three weeks. I'm going to go with Terry McLaurin. Okay. Yeah, it's close. I think I want upside in my championship. Hey, Tyler Lockett's back, eight for one, twenty and one on nine targets. He got word this past week that he was feeling better and was going to be used in this offense and that means a lot to fantasy owners. It means a lot to Russell Wilson owners. Gets to play Arizona at home this coming week.

37:16 ↗

That's nice. He's go for launch. Hey, 13 targets for AJ Brown, 8 for 1, 14, and 1. 7 targets and 2 touchdowns for Devante Parker. Both of those guys emerging this year and delivering in your playoffs. Yeah, week in and week out. You can't take them out of your lineup. Devante Adams, hello. Nice to see you. 7 for 103 and 1. Chris Conley, 4 449 and 2. Mike was all over Conley as the better play out of that D.D. Conley stack. Now, it wasn't a...

37:46 ↗

you know, high volume situation, but two touchdowns is two touchdowns. And then Kenny Stills two touchdowns that no one on this earth is all coming, but three targets, two touchdowns. He wanted to wait until Will Fuller was there so he could only get three targets so he could have his big game. Yeah, when no one played him. Kelsey, Kittle, Higby, Waller, Ertz.

38:10 ↗

And Ricky Seals Jones, those are your studs at the tight-in position. 17 targets for George Kittle. You remembered earlier, we said Debo and Emmanuel, terrible games. Well, this is where the ball went. George Kittle got everything. And when you look at his percentage of yardage, he was the offense, and he was awesome. You still have the fantasy finishes up for this week, Jason. Are you able to look at tight end? Yes. Because I'm curious, Mark Andrews versus Higby was one of the big.

38:39 ↗

decisions people were making, you know, do you put Andrews out there with Lamar on Thursday or do you roll Higby? It worked out for you in both situations. I'm just curious which guy ended up on top. Tyler Higby had 12 catches again on 14 targets, but they lost the game. So Higby, you said Higby versus Mark Andrews? Yeah. In a half point PPR, they are 11.1 fantasy points to 11.2. The dominant victory goes to Mark Andrews. Oh, see, I told you.

39:07 ↗

I'm a genius. It's, I'm a genius. Clearly the right start. My goodness. Where's my honorary doctorate, Brooks? Do you? Is it in the mail? No? Yeah, maybe. Maybe. Any Fookland listener out there is thinking, you know, I work at this university, and this is how people that work at universities talk to. I work at this university, and I can give you an honorary doctor. Oh, yeah. I just want in on that. Oh, yeah. Too for? Don't. Twofer.

39:33 ↗

Mike's not here. No, there's only two doctors here. Look, it was glorious for a long time. You and I, we had check marks for being verified on Twitter. Yeah. Mike did not. That was great. That was the best time of my life. I want those years. I want a doctorate. You want to do? I do. Yes, I will accept. And I would be fine if this listener wants to give Jay Gris a doctorate as well. I don't think that that's not a bad idea. Not Mike. No, no, not Mike.

39:59 ↗

All right, let's move on here. Let's get depressed. Stinkers of the week, presented by odor eaters. All right, let's look at these quarterback stinkers. Oh, my gosh. There were some situations that, listen, we've done this for years now. And I want to be clear about this. We said, you know, we had some good weeks with some of our leagues. There is literally nothing. And Brooks, Al Boylan, you can attest to this.

40:33 ↗

There is nothing that affects us more than the advice we give and whether it comes to fruition. And we are not soothsayers. We don't know. All we can do is lay out the situation and tell you what we would do. And sometimes we agree and sometimes we disagree, right? I mean, sometimes you would play, I don't know, Justin Watson, Jason, like, for instance, and I might go like Perryman. You know what I mean? And we differ in our opinions. But the Aaron Rogers situation, let's just say we're on the edge of our seat because we had made such a big deal about play play cut.

41:03 ↗

I have never. I came in Sunday morning. I said the only thing I care about is that we'll never have looked stupider if Aaron Rogers has a big game. Into the first quarter, he throws a touchdown pass. And I go, oh, my goodness. First quarter touchdown pass. What have we done?
