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

All of Nick Chubb. Makes sense. So you get. You get Nick Chubbin O'Dell Beckham. Two players in one slot. That's cheating. Jason loves it. Jason loves it. Cheat to win. DJ Moore on fire right now. Nine or more targets in six straight games. You think this guy's going to get drafted as a top 15 wide out next season?

What if it's Kyle Allen? I was going to say it's tough to know without knowing who their quarterback is. And I don't know which one is better. You realize that he's putting up all these numbers with Kyle Allen. That's why I'm saying I don't know which one is better. Like is it better if Cam is back? Or is it better? Yeah. If it's Cam or Alan. Either way, I would. As of right now, I mean, we're in overreaction because we're in the middle of the season. But yeah, he should be drafted as a top 15 guy next year. He's doing all of these things with a backup quarterback and he's still extremely young.

Like, DJ Moore is not at his ceiling yet. Agreed. The Green Bay Packers at 8 and 3 take on the 2 and 9 Giants. Packers are 6.5 point road favorites. It's a 45 point over under. And it was not pretty for the Packers last week in any way, shape, or form. But, you know, where are you with the Rogers decision this week? Oh, no decision. He's in. All right.

He's in. He's in, he's in, and then he's going to get dropped, and you're going to send a screenshots. That is correct. We know the future. That is fantastic. Daniel Jones at home, averaging 210 yards, one touchdown. Somehow on the road, he's averaging, you know, he's had three, 300-yard games and big touchdown performances, but I'm not expecting any Daniel Jones action in this one. He might not even have Golden Tate, right? Yeah, not practicing on Wednesday. He's in the concussion protocol.

Sterling Shepard, I think, is, you know, a guy that when you're getting nine targets a game, you know, impossible to go up here if Golden Tate were gone. He's a talented wide receiver. I think you can start him in a PPR league. You like Slayton or Shepard more? Shepard. I just, I think Shepard is the clear more.

talented even though what about the name though do you like the name shepherd or the name slayton oh sleighton he's out there's that's a boss name yeah it's out there killing you know it's just slate yeah all right i just wanted to know yeah i mean it's like one of them's out there slaying one of them's out there like herding yeah yeah that's fair come here sheep golden take concussion protocol we'll see sequin barclay is this the get right matchup on paper it should be at home

Packers giving up 25.8 fantasy points per game on average, which is 29th in the NFL. Sequin should be able to do it. I'm going to say he does. We kind of dealt with this in the buyer's cell, whether you believe he's going to get more than 80 yards. Barkley is obviously a very, very talented human being. And running back, it has not gone well for him. The Jets.

The Bears, super disappointed with the last two outings. This is another plus matchup. The nice thing is this one's at home. Those last two were on the road. I think Saquan gets it done. I mean, nobody's not playing him. You're not playing him. You just, I think you have to adjust your expectations where a lot of people took Barclay as the first overall pick. Yeah, he was the consensus number one on average. You know, maybe some other people pivoted, but he was the number one pick. And I think a lot of teams that have Seaquin are out of the playoffs. Yeah, it wasn't the best.

Number one pick. Stinks. Aaron Jones. Are you worried about the impact of Jamal Williams as you head down the stretch with Aaron Jones? He plays the Giants, obviously, in this game. But then Washington, then Chicago in Championship Week in Minnesota. I loved hearing what LaFleur said after the game. Oh, what did he say? So, you know, we make fun of the coaches and say, yeah, I've got to get, I've got to get this player more touches. And it's like,

You're in control. You control this, but it was specificity. You know, he's not necessarily the one doing every facet, right? The personnel groupings and the play calling and whatnot. But what he specifically said, because you look at how many targets in the passing game of Jamal Williams has received and how few Aaron Jones has received. And that's what he brought up as the problem. He said on those play calls that I'm getting the ball to my halfback.

I need to make sure Aaron Jones is out there. And that's what I wanted to hear because where his value comes from so much is his ability in the passing game. And if the head coach is specifically saying he's going to make an effort to get him the ball in the passing game more, I am very optimistic. That was my only downgrade to Aaron Jones is the target since Devante Adams. I brought this up a couple days ago. But since Adams has come back, Aaron Jones is.

Target share has absolutely evaporated. And it wasn't that RB targets have evaporated from the Packers. It's just, it's a roulette. Who's going to get him? Exactly. And now it keeps being Jamal Williams. But that's great to hear if, if LeFleur recognizes that Aaron Jones is his better running back. Jamal Williams, I think has proven that he is better than the, than he had kind of become the butt of jokes last year. Like, he's, he's a fine, serviceable player.

But Aaron Jones is the best running back on the team, and you should be getting him more touches. Devante Adams is a smash play this week against the Giants. It should be a monster game for him. Against Genoa's Jenkins, Devante Adams should have a day. Otherwise, though, you're not really playing any roulette with any other pass catcher. I was so sad because I'm looking for monster upside. Brooks and I, our team is going up against the super team, if you will, that, you know, has monstrous, just top to bottom. Every player looks great.

And so I wanted big plays, and I'm looking at the secondary for the Giants and how beatable they are with big, deep plays. But you can't take your shot. I wanted to go Marquez Valdez Canling, but he's disappeared. I don't think I could trust the Lazard King. You know, Geronimo Allison is not the deep threat. So it stinks because I believe someone will do well here. I think. Will his name be Jimmy Graham? Probably not. I agree.

I think one of those three wide receivers, Valdez Scantling, Geronimo Allison, or Alan Lazard, heck, throw Coomero in the mix. Someone's getting a bomb touchdown in this game. That's how I see it. Remember all those sweet off-season debates we were having the Geronimo versus Mark was. The nice thing is, now you're both dead. The nice thing is two dead men on the side of the road. I don't have to look at you, Mike, and say that you were right. And you don't. And you don't have to look at me and say I was right. No, I don't. So I feel like we both won. Aaron Rogers gets to look at both of you and say.

You're both wrong. I lost. Yeah. Yeah. He was concerned with the integrity of the show and your guys' friendship. So he decided to include no one. We do have a note here from our fearless editor in chief of Kyle de Borgogan. He says, breaking news for Jimmy Graham. He's accepted his starring role in Weekend at Bernie's 4. Oh, really? It made me chuckle when I saw it. But then I got really sad that did I miss the third one? That's what I'm wondering. Or the Bernie's.

franchise is back with such vigor, they've already planned two more. I think maybe Gore was in the third one. Oh, come on. Gore still gets it done. Gore is not the walking dead. That's fair. That's fair. He's not a carcass out there. So maybe Jimmy Graham's reprising his role from the third one. Jimmy Graham locked up multi-movie contract. No, there is no weekend of Bernie's three. That's what I thought. Why are we jumping before? I don't know. Man.

He's that dead. Fact check. Fact check much. All right. A quick note here on the injury front. Evan Ingram is not practicing. Oh, man. This guy. And he, I don't know. Does he get lost on us that how disappointing the Evan Ingram season is for expectations? You mix him and Howard. O.J. Howard. And what those two were supposed to represent this season.

Yeah, it does get lost because obviously they did it very different ways. O.J. Howard's been on the field and has been horrific. When Ingram was out there, I mean, there was a stretch, you know, I think it was the first five weeks of the season where Evan Ingram was the number one tight end. He was out there doing what he's supposed to do. He had the one game against Arizona, the only side end to not crush Arizona. He went out there, put up one for six. But other than that, you were at least, you got.

points and we're happy enough with Evan Enger. But you are right that he has disappointed based on draft stock, but I would say that's mostly due to injury, which is now a factor. This is now a repeated thing for Evan Engram. When you're drafting him next year, if he has drafted again as a top three or a top four tied in, the injury risk needs to be built into his draft price. Yeah, I think that that'll be something we should reflect on after the season. Are there certain players that are going to carry the

The injury bug designation. You know, are you going to start looking at T.Y. Hilton through a different lens? Because last year, what, the entire end of the season, he's battling through, I think it was a hamstring injury. Now he's in and out of the lineup. It's true. It's something you're going to have to think about. All right. This next one's fun. Oh, man. The top two rushing teams in the NFL, the 10 and 1.

San Francisco 49ers travel to Baltimore to take on the Ravens who are nine and two. The Ravens are six point favorites over the 10 and 1 49ers. It's a 45 and a half point over under. Could see some rain in this game. It don't matter. Jimmy Garoppolo, Lamar Jackson. Let's do it. Let's see who. Who's your pick in this game?

I'm taking the Ravens because it's in Baltimore. I would take the Ravens in either city. I would. The thing is I would as well. The reason why is I think both of these defenses are outstanding.

Both of these defenses are going to cause problems for the opposing offenses. I mean, you can't just say, okay, Baltimore is running the ball so well, so they're going to do it here. The 49ers defense is excellent against the run, and Baltimore lost their starting center, which we know how important that is for the running game. There's going to be problems in this game. But in the end, Lamar Jackson's going to make enough special plays to have an offensive outpoint, of scoring points. I am petrified on the other side.

Jimmy Garoppolo, I don't know that I'd want to play him into two-quarterback league. I mean, this is a really poor matchup, which I think goes to most of the positions. I'm not in love with any of his weapons. I don't want to play Emmanuel Sanders or Debo this week. I mean, you know, Kittles in. It's amazing. If you look over the course of the season what the 49ers have done to opposing quarterbacks, it's been a bloodbath, 30th, 28, 27, 30th. That's where they ranked against them.

except for Kyla Murray. He runs. He runs. Both times was a top 10 quarterback against San Francisco at home and on the road, seventh and sixth on the week. You just have to keep a defense that disciplined on the back end with that kind of pass rush. You have to keep them off balance. That's something Lamar Jackson does better than anybody. He is an absolute monster. We don't need to talk about it anymore other than to say you play him. You don't doubt just because you're facing the 49ers. Lamar will do enough.

However, I do doubt his receiving options. I think he'll do enough because in part of the running game that is, you know, so valuable for quarterbacks in fantasy football, maybe get a rushing touchdown or two, maybe get 90, 100, 110 rushing yards. But Marky's Hollywood Brown, who was so awesome last week, Mark Andrews, who's been a great tight-in on the season.

I'm scared of those options. You should be. Marquis Hollywood Brown had a good game because he scored twice. I mean, he was a 42 total yards receiving. Almost thrice. Sure. Should have been. Well, yeah. Close. Yeah. I mean, that's going to be the challenge here. I think you're going to see, look, you want to throw them out there? You better hope for a touchdown. That's the way it's going to be. Mark Andrews? You still play him. You still play him? Here's an interesting note, though. Other than Jacob Hollister.

Tight ends have averaged 18 receiving yards a game against San Francisco. But you know Andrews is going to get the targets, going to get the opportunity, and you can't really sit the guy who brought you here. Mark Ingram? I was just going to say same with Mark Ingram. You're not going to really be able to sit him, but he's another one of the options I'm a little bit worried about. I, you know.

I think you just have to temper your expectations if you've got other Ravens in the game that you have to start, like Mark Andrews and Mark Ingram. Maybe that means your flex player needs to be more swinging for the fences, a higher upside guy. On the other side, Kevin Coleman, Matt Brita could play in this game. Still questionable. Emmanuel Sanders, Debo Samuel, obviously, Kittles in. But what about the other options?
