He was out there much more than when you look at the comparison of carries. You're right. But four carries and one target. Yeah. For a total of eight yards. We already talked about Corlin Sutton, Deshaun Hamilton, Tim Patrick, Sutton dealing with the injury. It doesn't seem like there's a lot of, I mean, Case Keenum, we're not going to talk about Case Keenum. No. That would betray our entire show. Derek Carr and Company at home.

70:36 ↗

You know, Jared Cook, you play Jared Cook. Yes, yeah, absolutely you play Jared Cook. Yeah, the Dom, geez, the Broncos, I wanted to call him the Raiders. The Broncos, the last six weeks, 30th against the position, 28th against tight ends on the season. Yes, Jared Cook is a very interesting play. And Jared Cook, if you look at his home road splits. On the road, he is straight trash.

71:05 ↗

Which means that at home he is incredible. Straight trash, homie. Yeah. So I've got a question for you too, because I gave advice on this specific question. Believe it or not, I know it's hard to believe. In a dynasty, I saw a championship roster that was deciding between only these two quarterbacks, but it was real. They made it. Congratulations. Derek Carr or Sam Darnold this week. Yeah, I'll go Sam Darnold. You would? Yeah, I would. I would. Although I do want...

71:33 ↗

Can we take a minute to give Derek Carr any credit? Well, that's why I'm bringing up because... Derek Carr's putting up some, like, of his career best numbers. Yeah. In a number of, I think, furthest yards per attempt of his career, best passing completion percentage of his career, all in spite of no weapons, right? Mm-hmm. And no offensive line. Yeah, it's... And John Gruden. And John Crude. No, no, no. How dare you? Because. Because of John Gruden.

72:03 ↗

And the benefactor I wanted to talk about real quick, Jordy Nelson, who was interesting to start the year, absolutely disappeared, but here's his last three weeks. Sneaky. 10 for 97, 6 for 48, 6 for 88, and now he's at home. Sneaky. Yeah, I completely agree with that. Robert Foster or Jordy Nelson. Ooh. Isn't that the right matchup right there? Yeah. How about Jody Foster? Oh, come on.

72:32 ↗

Man, I didn't go. Panic room? Yes, thank you. You got. What's the space? Hotel Artemis. What's the space movie? The space? Contact. Oh, with McConaughey and Foster. That movie spun my brain around. I didn't understand what was going on. That's the movie right where their machine blows up and then they just, the plot point is, but we built a second one just in case. I don't remember. That had some.

72:58 ↗

Plot holes. Yeah, they're like, oh, crap, what do we do? Wait, an outer space movie had plot hole? Black holes. Man, Jordie versus Robert Foster. Here's what I actually have realized is that outside of Philip Lindsay, all championship games are decided by Sunday this week. Like, if Philip Lindsay isn't in your championship game, that's what you think? This week, we get a reprieve. Says the man who might start C.J. Anderson on his fantasy championship roster.

73:29 ↗

He thinks they're all decided by this week. Well, not for everyone. CJ Anderson plays before Monday. So, still same. You can't beat me no matter who you are. CJ Anderson or Royce Freeman right now. You got to lock one in your lineup today. CJ Anderson without a doubt. That's not even a joke. Between those two? Yeah. You know what? I'm going to get your CJ Anderson excitement going. Waterbed. I'll take Royce Freeman over. All right. Hey, this is great. So even if I don't play CJ, I've got some skin in the game.

74:00 ↗

On CJ, which is something this year you don't want. Or the last few years. No. The Daily Dose. Brought to you by draft. All right. We're wrapping up the Friday show heading into Christmas with some Daily Dose. Yeah. What is the matchup this week? We're doing the Saturday slate, which is going to be rough. Oh, this stinks to have the last pick on. Yeah, this is absolutely rough. Saturday slate, I was the first pick.

74:33 ↗

And I was terrified that a quarterback would not make it back to me. So I took Lamar Jackson with the number one pick. Despite the great options at the skill positions, I felt like I had to go Lamar. I did the exact same thing, by the way, with Phillip Rivers. And because you did that, and I know I don't need my quarterback, I'm taking, I'm taking Melvin Gordon and Derek Henry. That's nice. Watch out. I love being in third now. I'll watch out. I'm going to go with Gus Edwards, and then I'm going to take my weight.

75:02 ↗

You're in the middle, man. Oh, yeah, I don't have back-to-back. No, you do not. I went to draft again, and I couldn't. By the way, while you decide there. Breaking news. Otto Beckham Jr. is out. Interesting. So we expected it, but. Evan Ingram makes it easier. I should not have taken Lamar Jackson. Yeah, well, how is it taking you so long to make picks, Mike? You don't understand the...

75:26 ↗

Because you just wait until you're on the clock and you'll realize. Well, the wide receiver position. Who did you take? I took Tina Allen with my first pick and I don't even know where to go with the second pick. Good grief. I guess I'm going to take Adrian Peterson. All right. I'm going to take Mike Williams with my pick. Stack him with Philip Rivers. Mike Williams have been playing well. Oh, man. I.

75:52 ↗

want Mike Williams. I mean, look, listen, Fookland, here's who we're deciding between. Why did we do this? Corey Davis and Tyrell Williams, Jameson Crowder. I'm going to take Tyrell Williams, so we each have a charger wide receiver and we can close our eyes and hope that we've got the one. Then I need another wide receiver or tight end. I don't want one.

76:17 ↗

But I'm going to take Corey Davis. So if my Derek Henry doesn't get it done, maybe it's because Corey Davis scored. I'm actually going to stack my running backs. Oh, crap. I'm just going to play both Ravens running backs. No. Dixon and Gus Edwards and make sure I get something from it. That way Mike can, you know, take Dionne Lewis or something. Can I say how happy I am that I have Melvin Gordon and Derek Henry in this format? Yeah. Yeah, that's not bad. That's not bad. Who's your quarterback? Really upsetting. It doesn't matter. It's going to be yuck. Good grief. This is freaking ridiculous, man.

76:46 ↗

I guess I'm taking Michael Crabtree. And then I will take Chris, I will stack the Washington room. Well, congratulations on your victory, fellas, because my team is garbage. You didn't even say who you took. I took Chris Thompson. I said I'm stacking the Washington running back. He didn't want to verbalize it all the way through.

77:05 ↗

because of what that meant. I already know my quarterback's going to end up being Marcus Marriota because it's between him and Josh Johnson. I think that there's a good chance that I would actually score more points if I picked Joe Flacco just because these guys aren't going to score. My team ends up Marcus Mariotta, Melvin Gordon and Derek Henry, Haza, and Tyrol Williams and Corey Davis. I have the most comedic team that I've ever had in this format.

77:35 ↗

Mike Williams and Antonio Gates was my final pick. And then I've got, because I wanted to have my own C.J. Anderson type of start this week. And then Gus Seder was Kenneth Dixon. We need to see the recap of last week, by the way, Jason. Can you pull that up? Who won last week's matchup? And I have Lamar Jackson, Peterson, Thompson, Keenan-O and Michael Crabtree. I assume then you know the matchup last week. I demand a read count. Oh, my goodness. Last week you beat me. We were heads up.

78:04 ↗

You beat me by two points with Breeze, Gurley, McCaffrey, Brown, and Thomas, and I had Big Ben, Zeke, Barkley, Juju, and Hopkins. Those teams sound a lot better than the team we have this week. Yeah, well, Saturday night's slate. Yeah, hey, Fookland, don't forget about the message from NHTSA before we leave with the holidays upon us. It is not okay to drive stone. It's not just driving below the speed limit that happens. Truth is your reaction time slow way down. And you not only put yourself in danger.

78:33 ↗

but everyone else around you. So stop kidding yourself. If you've been using marijuana in any form, just don't get behind the wheel. If you feel different, you drive different. Drive high, get a DUI. Let's stay safe this holiday season. Absolutely. Enjoy the holidays with your family. Enjoy the football games. Hopefully you're celebrating a title. And it's been a really, really fun season. Let's close it with a bang. Goodbye.
