MEGALODON Episode – Week 13 Matchups, Turkey Day Awards, Starts, & TONS More!

That's fair. Yes, you would. No, you would. Yes, he would because he has already said he will cheat to win and be happy about it. I mean, guilty is charged. On all those. I'm the boy who cried Wolf to Joyce for you right now. This is one I can't pull myself out of. Brooks, please get the guy that comes in and does lie detector tests. Okay. All right. Yeah, the guy. There's the one guy. There's the one, you know, that dude that's real famous? Triple A. All around the country. Bring him in. Last one. Thanksgiving Day Turkey Award. It's the showstopper. The MVP of Thanksgiving.

This one's easy. Mike? It's Lamar Jackson. Oh. Oh. I agree. It's Lamar Jackson. He's the showstopper. He's the MVP. That makes sense. I'm going to pivot just because I want to pivot. Where are you going to go McCaffrey? I was going to go McCaffrey. Yeah. The thing about Lamar Jackson is you took him very late. And so his value is multiplied. Yeah, but Brooks, remember when we traded for Christian McCaffrey? What is it?

I picked Christian McCaffrey. Yes. Mike gets it again, or Jason gets it again. That's my name. And Mike genuinely, like I can see in his face, he genuinely believes that I- It's Lamar Jackson. Oh, yeah, no, I genuinely believe that you cheated. I did not cheat. Otherwise, I would have gone five or five. All right. No, uh-uh, because you know how to cheat.

You know that. This is an unwinnable situation. And it's the bed that you will sleep in for the rest of your life. I just dominated this segment. And now I feel like I'm cheating. I feel like I'm cheating. I did not. All right. Let's move on. Buy or sell presented by pristine auction. All right. Last week we did a speaking of cheating. Are you talking to me? Yeah. All right. We did a week 12 edition of Buy Your Sell.

I ended up going four for five. And the only reason we went four out of five is because the final prop was Michael Gallup at 55 receiving yards, which he nailed is a push. 55. We all sold that. Mike, I would have gone, I would have gone. What is going on over here? This is the Megalodon. You get that trigger finger ready. This guy's ridiculous.

Get me the soundboard. We all missed the Michael Gallup one. Yes. So I would have been perfect, is what I'm saying. The touchdown street continued for Jarvis Landry. Marvin Jones had fewer than 10 fantasy points. Curtis Samuel had fewer than 7.5 targets, and Calvin Ridley was a top 12 wide receiver. Here's what I will say, and Andy will be very happy. This subject. Is that? No. Did I get it? This is buy or sell. We don't have a push option.

You have to buy it. You have to sell. So if it's a push, you have to throw it out completely. So you went four for four. I would say Andy went four for four. Thank you. Okay. That took a turn after you hated me for not hitting 55 fast enough. All right. Megladon edition for week 13. Brooks has titled this buyer sell segment. Will they bounce back? All right. Amari Cooper will he be a top 50? Sell.

Top 15 wide receiver against Buffalo at home. I don't care. On Thanksgiving, Goose last week. I am buying it. I love Amari Cooper at home. This team needs some redemption. They're seven point favorites. I'm in. I have manually moved outside of the algorithms we have set up, Amari Cooper down to about my wide receiver 20. I do not buy this. I sell this. I'm contractually obligated to sell.

You are. That's right. Due to the apology gone wrong. And look, don't hear what I'm not saying. I'm going to play Amari Cooper where I have him. But I dislike him. Out of spite. Yes. It does say spite sell. Yes, thank you. Russell Wilson. We'll just stay where Mike is bragging. This is great. Mike's obligated to sell. A top 10 quarterback against Minnesota this week. Last week he was QB 18. He's had fewer than 250 passing yards in four or five games.

and Minnesota's only allowed three top 10 weeks to quarterbacks all year. Really? Buy or sell, Russell Wilson is a top 10 quarterback against Minnesota. I'm actually going to buy it. I think he will squeeze into the top 10 this week. I will buy it as well. Minnesota's defense, you can say that very lined item of how many top 10 performances, but their secondary is not that great. Russell Wilson, despite having been inconsistently.

I don't think anybody's arguing is not great. So top 10 this week. Yeah, I buy it. Oh, all right. That's a money in a football game, too. Saquan Barkley, over 80 total yards against Green Bay. Last week was 60. He's only surpassed 80 and four of eight games. Oh, Green Bay. You can run against them. I think 80 yards, I'm going to buy it. I'm going to buy it. This is total. This is receiving and rushing. I mean, I know he hasn't been hitting it.

But he's Saquan Barclay. He can do that in a play. I like that your defense is, I know he hasn't done it, but he's Saquan Barclay. Well, that. Sequin Barclay is, in fact, the player who is still not doing. Basically, what I'm saying is I know he hasn't done it recently, but he's done it a whole heck of a lot. That's what I mean. Sequin, he's going to smash that. Mike? Yeah, I buy it too. Oh, after all that. Cortland Sutton, a top 20 wide receiver against the Chargers. Last week, only one catch?

started the game, by the way, with that catch. I'm like, oh, he's doing it again and then never got another one. Mike is selling? Casey Hayward is a monster. I will sell as well. This is really solely a question of does he get a touchdown? And if you look at the odds of whether or not he's getting a touchdown with Brandon Allen and Casey Hayward. Unfortunately, I agree, which is not really helping our... No, we got three universal answers in a row. Three universes. The multiverse.

All right, Darren Waller. A top six tight end this week against Kansas City. It's a great match. He was three for 41. He was the tight end 11. I have to buy this. You'll find out why later. Yeah. What's interesting about Darren Waller is where Hunter Renfro, his injury, it stinks for him. He was having a nice breakout rookie campaign.

But Hunter Renfro was the one who was siphoning those short Darren Waller targets where he, Waller was the absolute target vacuum at the beginning of the year. Top six, though. Yeah. I have to sell it. I wanted to be the only one selling.

But I am going to sell. I think that is a very... He's fringe, right? I mean, he'll be right around there. Yeah, it's a very difficult line. This isn't an anti-Waller take so much as it is a anti-top six. There is a direct target correlation between Hunter Infro when he began his five-plus target streak and Waller's eight plus target streak stopped at the exact same time.

I'm shaking my head over here because my dynasty roster fighting for a playoff positioning against Judge Giamatti this week. Well, I don't think I'm going to be with this guy. T.Y. Hilton, unsure of his week 13 status with the calf, he came out and talked about it, was on the pitch count last week, which already reduces probability of success, right? Yeah, and then he was on the drop count, which added to that. He had to have an obligatory two drops.

unbelievable. I don't think you're going to be with him this week. I don't either. And so you're going to need to make some adjustments to your roster. For me, that means deciding between guys like McCull Hardman sliding into your lineup instead of a T.Y. Hilton. They play Tennessee on Sunday. It's the morning game. But that's where we're at with T.Y. Hilton. And you're going to have to keep an eye on, well, follow us on Twitter.

At the F.F. Ballers, we'll let you know what's going on. Adam Thielen, the hamstring, resume practicing on Tuesday. Are you guys expecting to have Thielen back in lineups? I am, yes. Yeah, I'm expecting him to play. I think he'll have an all right game, but this is a lesson learned where you might want to wait before putting out the injured player in the first week back. If you have that luxury.

I would, you know, try to avoid having the, I mean, this is a win-and-get-in situation. You have him go out there re-aggregated on play two. You're going to be really upset. I want to just throw this in there. From time to time, on Twitter, I post stats and summaries of players and positions. Suddenly, it seems like I'm a real Kirk Cousins truther because all the stats back Kirk Cousins. If you look at, I'm trying to think of how people are viewing the MVP conversation, right?

Russell Wilson, they're nine and two, right? Seattle's nine and two, and he's carried them, and so he's in the consideration. And then nine and two, right, the Baltimore Ravens. That's why Lamar Jackson's in there. Minnesota hasn't had that year record-wise to match those teams. Eight and three losers. Yeah, but it's close, and Kirk Cousins has been incredible. I just looked up Best Passer rating in the fourth quarter. Nobody's even close to Kurt Cousins. He's like 135 in the fourth quarter this year. He's just been.

I think the problem is... He's been tearing people apart. Dalvin Cook is the machine that makes that offense run. I think you're right. I think that... Well, I think it's certainly the one that distracts us from bringing his name up in the discussion. But if you win at every metric, I think you should be talked about. Sure. What? And he just was. Yeah, there you go, Kirk. Just like you asked me to do. All right, Devanta Freeman listed as full in Tuesday's practice. They play on Thursday. I think he's going to play. I do too. I'm not going to play him similar to the Adam Thielen, but this says,

that Brian Hill and Quadrioleson. You're not playing Devonta Freeman. Yeah, I mean, look, he's been in and out. He hasn't been phenomenal when he's been in. He's been okay. But, yeah, I'm personally going to avoid it. You know what Turkey Day award he is? He's the age-old recipe that's been passed down for generations that you always remember as being really good. But then whenever you make it now, you're like, this is not as good as I remember. Yeah.
