One host says the current fantasy matchup is against the Betrayer and immediately identifies Papa Josh; another says the opponent is the other side of the betrayal, Owl. Later a visible look becomes 'Owl sabotaging,' and Al is named as the person asking whether lonely Deonte Harty is a viable pivot after being the only soul who played him the previous week.
FootClan Friday selects Runaway Train for the recurring $100 FantasyChamps gift card. With championship season approaching, a host says that according to Jason he should pre-buy hardware as a call-your-shot gesture; the worst-case outcome is handing the unused trophy to a friend.
The hosts warn that the isolated sound cue makes no sense without offseason context. Jason and an unlabeled host had liked buried Jets rookie Israel Abanikanda, whose name became 'Abana kinda don't want none unless you got runs, hon'; the desk explicitly says that is where the sound effect comes from, then clarifies that 'runs' means a running back running rather than diarrhea.
Conflicting open-practice observations lead the desk to ask Brooks for other examples; he replies only 'I don't.' When another player is merely 'not spotted,' the hosts brainstorm flying Papa Josh from practice to practice with binoculars, putting AirTags on players, and building a movement-speed app. Mike is directly asked whether he is in, says he is 'super in,' signs up, and agrees to pay the subscription fee.
A proposed punishment asks whether someone can be removed from the built-the-city. The hosts explain that Pittman City welcomes everyone only until they walk out or turn their back on Michael Pittman, that repentance can earn readmission, and that Mike holds the actual key and lets people in or out as he pleases.
The live Fantasy Faceoff snapshot has an unnamed host at 4-4-4, Jason at 6-2-4, and Mike at 2-6-4 before the Wheel of Shame lands on Old Nana. The disgusting cigarette-smoking old-woman mask has a hair cover and Velcro, looks pirate-like, and leaves only one useful eye before the desk says, 'Don't smoke, kids.' A direct Mike lineup prompt identifies the wearer, and the close says the mask presses into his giant head and eyes while raising the possibility of a third straight disgusting mask.
Mid-show, Jason is caught smiling over old Brevin Jordan material and directly confirms that he is forcing Jordan into the lineup just for fun, predicting it will be why he is shamed next week. Fantasy Faceoff later reveals the $2,500 minimum-priced tight end in Jason's entry, replacing $4,100 David Njoku and living on the edge.
During matchup talk, a host assumes Kyle is checking Joe Flacco's middle name, directly asks him about Kyren Williams never facing a stacked box, and then asks whether Fletcher Cox is definitively out. The transcript leaves the reply voices unlabeled and explicitly says the Cox answer is not yet definitive.
For two straight weeks, Jason has conceded his fantasy matchup during the Eagles' bad first half because he rosters Jalen Hurts. He plans to do it again against San Francisco, explicitly calls it part of the ritual, and the desk predicts two concessions per game if Hurts starts alternating productive quarters.
During the Fantasy Faceoff lineup read, Jason introduces $4,600 Zach Moss as his start of the week and says he has been a truther for as long as he has known Moss's name.
A matchup update revives the League of Record betrayal language: one host faces the Betrayer, explicitly identified as Papa Josh, while another faces Owl; later a visible look from Owl becomes an alleged attempt by Al to sabotage a Tank Dell question with his lonely Deonte Harty play. FootClan Friday awards Runaway Train a $100 FantasyChamps gift card, then a host cites Jason's advice to pre-buy championship hardware and hand it to a friend if the title call fails. Conflicting open-practice reports expose a broken information pipeline. Brooks is asked to remember the other examples and answers only 'I don't'; after another 'not spotted' report, the hosts brainstorm flying Papa Josh from practice to practice with binoculars, AirTagging every player, measuring starting-wide-receiver speed in an app, and charging Mike a subscription. The episode also explains the Israel Abanikanda sound cue: offseason interest in the buried Jets rookie became 'Abana kinda don't want none unless you got runs, hon,' explicitly meaning running-back runs rather than diarrhea. Hosts repeatedly route live research prompts about Joe Flacco, Kyren Williams, and Fletcher Cox to Kyle, although the transcript does not safely attribute each unlabeled response to him. Jason says that for two straight weeks he conceded his matchup during Jalen Hurts's bad first half, plans to do it again, and calls it part of the ritual. Michael Pittman City reveals its rules: loyalists are welcome, repentant defectors can return, and Mike controls the only key. Fantasy Faceoff opens with an unnamed host at 4-4-4, Jason at 6-2-4, and Mike at 2-6-4. The Wheel then lands Old Nana, putting Mike in a cigarette-smoking, Velcro-fastened, one-eye pirate-like mask that hurts his giant head. Jason knowingly risks next week's shame by replacing $4,100 David Njoku with $2,500 Brevin Jordan for fun, then calls himself a Zach Moss truther for as long as he has known Moss's name.
On today's show, we react to the bonanza that we were blessed with last night as well as breaking down the rest of the matchups. Make sure you subscribe to this channel right now and enjoy. To the Fantasy Footballers Podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Welcome in. The Fantasy Footballers Podcast. We finally did it. We got a Thursday night game that delivered the goods. We did. 76 total points. Good work, everybody. 41 to 35 on Thursday night football. You know what could have made that game even better? Maybe some rain. Some, some, you know, something to really take that game down a notch. Oh, is it too much for you? It was just, it was like in a dome.
And it was like, oh, man, this is just perfect fun football. Yeah. That's not America's football. Yeah, that's not, that's not grown man. That's not man football. Let's get, let's take it out. Get it out. Get it out of your system as we get into the games today. He's just talking about how fun the game. Here, I've got a, I got a spoiler for you, though. If you throw Desmond Ritter and Tim Boyle into a dome, not sure you're going to get what you want. Yeah, but throw them into the rain. Don't see what you get. Yeah, okay. All right. So bad or worse.
Look, this was a heck of a game. I mean, it was wild from the jump. Like, you're in this game. I know, Mike is giving the, uh, uh, huh face? Geno? Well, look, this was, this was, he heard us talk about the numbers on the show. And he said, um, let's face the Dallas defense and let's eviscerate it. D.K. Metcalf had six catches for 134 and three. I'm, I was playing him last night. in multiple leagues. And by playing him, it was against him. He scored four points last week. And this is fantasy football. I mean, I don't think we are very bullish on any of the whiteouts going into this game. And nothing on paper said on the Seahawks side. On the Seahawks side. Because we, you know, it was a nine point, you know, line for Dallas. They were favored by nine at home where they had.
beating everybody and nobody scored on them at home. I think they had outscored people like 200 to 40. And the Seahawks were coming off a brutal beat down at the hands of the 49ers. Not just a beatdown, but over the last month, Gino Smith had thrown a total of three touchdowns, which he did in this game. How many touchdowns did D.K. McHath have on the year before last night? I'm looking at Gino right now. I'll pull up D.K. It was not a lot. Let me know because. Look, put it this way. My awesome, like my Megalibol team. Uh, three. Okay. Oh my gosh. A double. Uh, my just feels wrong. If you're against it and amazing if you have it. My Megalobole team has scored a ton of points this year. I'm in second place because in part my awesome Dallas defense.
which last night put up negative four points. Oh, man. I mean, there were, there were, I didn't even think about the DST. Oh, sorry people. No, there, there was somebody that sent me a DM this morning and that they're like, well, I lost. And they had faced the CD and, and DK, uh, DAC and then they had the Cowboys defense. Oh, mercy. And it was like, you, you are done at that point. Like that's. Get a jump on week 14. Yeah, just go away for the weekend, do something else. In my matchup, I'm playing the Betrayer. Yes. Papa Josh. I'm playing the other side of the betrayer. Owl. Yeah. And so look, the fantasy points were flowing. I had Dak and C.D. He had D.K. Metcalf. And at the end of the night, it kind of ended up being like a wash by way of projection because Metcalf with 30 plus fantasy points.
CD Lamb had 17 targets in this game. He had 12 catches. He did drop a fourth down. He dropped the touchdown. Yeah. Dak is on fire. Give those numbers that we had this morning because. Oh, we got to find him somewhere. I believe it was in. Let me see. Yeah, I've got it. So he's got a 9% touchdown rate. His touchdown. This is over the last. Yes. The whole year? Yes. I believe so. On the year? I thought it was just since the buy week. Well, his 17-game pace using the numbers, I believe, since week 8, is 5,386 passing yards with 56.7 touchdowns. The most passing touchdown since week 8. Dak has 20. Next highest has 10. He's been, to me, a super villain because I don't have him. To 11-12th of all people out there, I think...
DAC has become a real, real problem in fantasy leagues. Like I don't see it stopping. I don't see it slowing. The schedule coming up is what Mike highlighted earlier in the year of like they're going to face some hard run defenses and some soft secondaries coming up. And it is. It's working out. It's like I don't know how the DAC team doesn't win their fantasy league right now. Yeah, you have a strange amount of like this. disdain for the fact that I have these guys on my roster. It's not just that you have them. It's that I have DAC in zero of my leagues. And so that means I feel like right now I win zero championships. Yeah, I don't know if the shoe is going to drop at some point, but I'm going to go as far as I think Dak is the MVP of the national football league. I think he deserves to be the MVP. Like in a league, like in a season where there isn't really.
Like, I think there's non-quarterbacks that are very deserving of the award this year. They never win it, so I'm not counting them. Yeah. Because they don't have the chance to win it. And now Miles Garrett's hurt. He was one of the guys in contention. Tyree Kil, Christian McCaffrey, both should be in contention. But I can't, I look at deck and I say, this is probably the MVP. They beat a team with the winning record, finally, you know, and they demolish teams right now. It's really going to come down to the next two weeks. They play San Francisco 49ers. Or I'm sorry, they play the Eagles in two weeks. And they've got a stretch run of really good matchups for passing, like the Eagles. But that's not an easy game to win. Or Buffalo, great to pass on them. Not an easy one to win. Miami, again, Detroit, again. So if they win those games, I think you're right, DAC will be the MVP. If they don't win those games, then it'll go to Jalen Hertz.
Zach Charbonnet experience was good last night, especially when he caught a 39-yard pass. He had 60 on the ground, had a touchdown, had a handful of chances for more than one touchdown. But that was nice to see if you started and Pollard back into the end zone yet again. Obviously, Charbonnet injured in the fourth quarter with a knee injury. We're waiting to see how severe it is. That would be pretty brutal if you finally get Charbonnet's, you know. We did get news this morning that it was a bruise. Oh, great. So not considered to be serious. Let me put it this way.
Was there a startable player that you were disappointed in from last night? Tyler Locket. Tyler Lockett. Tyler Locket. It was 5 for 47 on eight targets, dropped a pretty big play and was disappointing. Yeah, he's sunsitting, guys. It is happening. It does seem like it, yeah. And JSN, 7 for 62 also had a touchdown that just didn't. I felt like it was a touchdown. Oh, no. Yeah, that I missed the replay. And it was devastating for me because it turned into a DK touchdown because he dropped it. But what a game. I mean, 76 points on Thursday night football. Ferguson was back. Oh, yeah. Brandon Cooks had a great game. Pollard had a great game. It was just excellent. Yeah. It's also Friday. Put Clan Friday. All right. We give away $100 every Friday to a supporter of the show.

Which it is a, it is a, I should bring it up, I should say. Congratulations, $100 to fantasy champs. Championship time is coming up. Fantasy champs is if you're looking for trophies or just anything to celebrate. According to Jason, I should pre-buy. You probably should. I think you should. Yeah. It's like the tattoo. Just call you shot. Worst case scenario. You just hand it over to me. Huh. That would be. And you say, I got this for you, friend. Do you have CD? I don't. No, Andy does.
It's just setting me up for, it's just not. There's no way you lose the championship. There's no way I win the championship. I'll put it that way. This guy. All right, let's talk news. News and notes from around the league. Presented by USAA Insurance. Well, we heard from everybody on Twitter on this one, thinking we may have orchestrated the event, but the Cardinals have granted. Zachary erts his release. Yes. Yes. Oh, baby. As Cardinals fans, as Trey McBride believers. Yes. Yes, I will marry you. There was, I will admit, there was that tiny little bit of fear of with Zachers come, eventually coming back. It's like, do the Cardinals do the right thing, in my opinion for the team, which is.
get your young players involved, or do they put the old guy who's not part of the future back on the field and then try and feature him? They do not. It is Trey McBride dynasty for life at this point. It's here too. He's playing great. That fear would have been 100% justified because it would have happened. I mean, Zach Ertz and games played this year was on 100 plus target pace. They would have jackknifed him into the lineup and ruined your Trey McBride. And so. It's not going to happen. Zach Gertz wants to go play with the contender and somehow doesn't see the two and ten Cardinals as that. That's pretty ridiculous. But for Twitter. Yeah. There's questions of should you go pick up Zach Gertz for wherever he goes, I don't think I would be making a mad dash if you've got a massive tight end problem and you've got disposable pieces on your bench. Sure. Maybe he signs in Baltimore. Baltimore is the only destination I think that would be like you need to pick up Zach Hertz and probably play him.
There are other destinations where he could be a streaming guy, but I'm not clamoring first. This is more about McBride. Yeah, I was even thinking if he signed in Baltimore, and I'm presuming this is like the Mark Andrews manager who probably has Isaiah likely at this point. It's like if you have likely and Zach Earth, there's no way you'd have confidence. It would almost just ruin likely. It could, yeah. And you'd probably be trying to find somebody with more snaps. Keenan Allen did not practice on Thursday. Okay. Quad. He's done this before. Yeah. And they actually, it would be illegal. They'd have to forfeit because they wouldn't have any receivers. Right. So he has to play. Yeah. And if you play as you play them, obviously. DeLte Johnson did not practice on Thursday due to an illness. DeMario Douglas did not practice on Thursday due to a concussion. He will not be playing. He guarantee he's out. Cardinals, head and shoulders, knees and toes. Hollywood Brown, the heel. Michael Wilson, the shoulder, Trey McBride, the groin.
All didn't practice. No, Trey McBride was limited. Oh, that did change. And this is beat reporters on Twitter. What happened yesterday? What is going? We got reports yesterday that the race to be first of getting the information out there. And maybe it's the kind of like the compilers. Maybe it's their fault because beat reporters are saying, I don't see that player right now in open media, the media part of the practice. Was there an eclipse during practices in which you could not see who was on the field? But they, and then they say, well, I didn't see him. But then that news is picked up. Trey McBride did not practice. And then you get the actual report and it's, no, they were limited. And there was. Tank Dell. Yeah, he was. He didn't practice. Oh, no, he did. Who else? Tray McBride was one of them. There was like four. Brooks, do you remember any of the others that popped up yesterday? I don't. Well, okay. I can, uh, let's see. I'll try and.
Find him. Oh, Travis, CTN. Yep. Didn't practice with his chest. Oh, no, he did. He was limited. Like, let's get the accurate information out there, please. It was a bit of, it's like a telephone thing because, like, somebody will say, I didn't. I didn't. I don't think I saw him. And then the next person was like he did not practice. So limited Trey McBride. Breece Hall limited with the hamstring on Thursday as well. Dalvin Cook dealing with a shoulder injury should be fine for Sunday. You might have to explain. Like, I feel like that. That drop alone does not tell anybody anything. If you have not been, if you don't know what the drop is, come on. Stick with the show during the off season. Jason and I really liked Israel Abanacanda, a running back who was then selected pretty late to the Jets, buried on a depth chart. But maybe there's an opportunity for him. I think he's a good player. And Abana kind of don't want none. Yes. Unless you got runs, hon. Okay. So that's where the sound effect comes. And we're not talking about.
Diarrhea runs. No, no, no, no. Like, I'm a running back. Yes. Watch me run. Yeah. Happy Friday, everyone. Happy Friday. Dare I move on? I'll allow it. Please move on. Dalton Schultz didn't practice again due to a hamstring injury. Probably not going to play. Marty Cooper, he will play. And it really, this is not, I don't see it in the news, but like it needs to be. We might have Joe Flacco this week. I think we will have Joe Flacco as the starter for Cleveland. So there is the chance that, like, Amari Cooper has 20 targets? Yeah, I mean, Joe Flacco throws the ball a ton. They play the Rams. I don't know if you know, but like the Rams with a victory equal to Seahawks. And I believe have the tiebreaker. So they would actually take over. So they're in it. And so Joe Flacco, DTR is not practicing.
DTR is above him on the depth chart, but it could be Flacco, and then if Flacco plays competently, I would imagine it's Flacco here on out. Probably. But that is a big if for a 38-year-old that, you know, turnover prone mixed with like a really good defense is not necessarily the right situation. The reports are glowing on his arm strength still being there. And Cleveland, tell me this, Cleveland's defense is dealing with major injuries right now. Denzel Ward, Miles Garrett. another defensive lineman, I believe. Like, are they getting the downgrade in your mind? Like, would you go play, like, would you play Cleveland defense this week against the Rams? Or would you go play, like, you know? I would rather play Atlanta versus the Jets? That's one I was going to bring up. Yeah. Or what about, is it, would you play the Rams defense against Flacco in the same game over Cleveland's defense? That's really, really interesting. Because they're at home. Yeah, I think I lean towards the home matchup. But again,
We had the question on the footcast yesterday of like, do you drop Cleveland? No. You hold on, wait for them to get healthy. Their playoff schedule week 15 and week 17 is as good as it gets. And when Miles Garrett is healthy and Denzel Ward is back, obviously this is like the best defense in the league. I appreciate it, Jay, because I just need your advice on the best way to win my title. Yeah, well. That's what you're here for. My best piece of advice keeps starting DAC and CD together. Okay. I'll work on that. T. Higgins hopes to play in week 13, Mike. Are you hoping to have him in your lineup? Yeah, man. Can't wait. T. Higgins, fresh off his injury with backup quarterback. It's going to be great. How many, what, what percent of snaps you think he makes it through? Oh, let's go. I'll give him his average. So 60, like 65. Okay.
Chris Godwin, not spotted at Buck's practice on Friday morning. This is new. Doesn't mean he's not practicing. He's just not currently seen. Oh my gosh. He couldn't be wearing an invisibility clue. If we find out that Chris Godwin practiced is full today, I'm going to lose my mind. Because what are we reporting anymore? We're going to have to go to the practices. We're going to have to send people out there. I could report right now that I did not see Chris Godwin at practice. And that is not a lie. I didn't see Mike Evans at practice. He was limited yesterday. I didn't see anyone at practice. Chris Godwin was limited yesterday. Stay away from the non-spotted rewards, maybe. I will say this. Don't start Chris Godwin. Yeah, that's probably better advice to give is he's not producing when he's healthy. That was today's news and notes presented by USAA Insurance. Learn more at USAA.com slash insurance. Fantasy Forecast.
We're going to have to put Papa Josh on a plane every week. And he's going to have to bounce from practice to practice and just let us know who's spotted. Get that boy some binoculars. I want eyes on these players. Couldn't we have like, couldn't every player in the NFL like throw an air tag in their pocket? And then we could just, we could just track the practice. You have lost Chris Godwin remotely. Like you could see the field during practice time. and find out if the air tag is around the field. Well, they basically used to do that during the COVID times. Some teams would have those like monitor proximity. Yeah, they'll like, oh wait to keep them six feet apart. Uh-huh. They probably have all the tech already. Yeah, let's just give us the app. I want to pull the practice up and find out of Godwin is moving at a rate of speed indicative of a starting wide receiver. All right, into the fantasy forecast week. Mike, you're not in on that plan.
Oh, no, I'm super in. Oh, okay. All right. You'll sign up. Yeah. I'm going to charge a subscription fee for that. I'll pay it. Uh, the Colts, Titans, Chargers, Patriots, Lions Saints, Falcons, Jets, Cardinals, Steelers, Dolphins and the Manders. Those matchups were yesterday. We covered them. Today we're going to, we're going to start off with the six and five Denver Broncos against the six and five Houston Texans. What a game. I mean, coming into this year. You know, even like one week into the season, you'd be like, oh man, Denver versus Texans. That's going to be awful. This is going to be a great game. The Draft King Sportsbook line has Houston minus three. I'm a little surprised at that line. Over under is 47 and a half. I would have probably put this at maybe like Houston minus one or a pickle if I were like. You were handicapping. Handicaping it. So, you know, I do like Denver in the game.
I would not have expected this game to matter. It matters a lot. C.J. Stroud, you know, he's playable every single week. Tank Dell, they're expecting him to be back. It does matter to me quite a bit if you have a healthy Tank Dell and a healthy Noah Brown available. Yeah, what do you do with, are you worried about Tank Dell at all re-agravating this or missing, like, would you? consider benching him for a decent other option? In my situation, it would be like Amari Cooper with Joe Flacko, and I'm not going to do that. So that's too far. That's too far. So I think for most people, there ain't room to worry on Tankdale. It's like if he's active, you play him, he's been so good. Would you start Nico Collins over him in the same game? Why is that, why am I getting that look? You're not getting that look. It's just owl sabotaging.
Al is, he's just wondering if Deonti Hardy would be a good pivot option. And he's asking that because he's the only soul on this planet that played Deonti Hardy last week in a game. Yeah, because the bills didn't. Yeah. Goodness gracious. Sorry, what was your Nico question? Nico or Tank if you had both? Oh, I'd play Nico if I had both. Yeah, just the injury concerns. Not worried about Patrick? Certain. Yeah. Yeah, of course I am. Okay. But C.J. Stroud is a special guy. I guess that's the question is. He's a Stroud about 10. What? What? Can I get that button? Boston. Have Nico. It's Friday. I don't care. What do I care? It wasn't good. I know. Yeah. Have Nico and Tank entered the start no matter what? Yeah. Like this into the, they're hurt. No, start your studs.
Yeah, I mean, CJ Stroud leads the NFL in 20-plus-yard passing plays. He's on pace for, what is it, 35, 36 touchdowns on the year. It's time to change the way you view that team, and hopefully you already have. Tankdale has been a top 24 wide receiver, each of the last four weeks, a wide receiver won, three of those four weeks, the wide receiver one, one of those weeks. And Dalton Schultz is probably not playing in this game either. So you're taking a target away, which seems like when you remove a target or two, the other guys are just. Inferno. Interesting. I mean, Broncos are a great defense against wide receivers, so it did something to watch. You know, we like the college tape of Brevin Jordan. I wonder if he's like a sneaky DFS play if, could be. Is this year three or four for Brevin Jordan? This, it's year seven. It's three. Year three for Brevin Jordan. I think in year three, Jay, college tape's probably not. No, no, no. I know. I'm just, I'm saying if they are utilizing the tight end in general. What do you think of the NFL tape?
After three years. He's actually had big flashy plays. He would be a touchdown gamble in DFS. If you'd like to play him today, that'd be great. If you want to roll him in. If you want to rework your lineup for the, you've seen his Pop Warner stuff, though? Russell Wilson is my start of the week. I mentioned it yesterday. I love it. I love the matchup against the Texans defense. They bleed points to wide quarterback. Mike, give me the... Give me your thoughts on Giovante Williams. He is heavily involved, played 70% of snaps last week. 24 opportunities led to the RB29, though. Yeah, and it's so bizarre. What is happening here with Javante's usage? Because 70% of the snaps, that's the highest he has seen on the year. 24 opportunities. Looks like the third most that he's had.
But that was like a weak removed from 49% of the snaps and 13 opportunities. I mean, I think you play him as a low-end running back too, but it's still high risk. Like there is a chance that Sean Peyton decides, no, we're going to get back into. What do you think of the game? Because I think that's going to tell you the story for Giovante's usage. Last week they just kind of suffocated Cleveland. There was not a chance for Cleveland. Like they won big. And because of that, I think Javante saw the majority of the, like, kill the clock carries. And that's why the fantasy finish wasn't huge, despite the workload. I mean, I see the game going under. But do you see Denver winning it or Houston? I would, I'll take Houston. Here's maybe a bigger running back decision to be made. Devin Singletary had 82% of snaps last week. So you can kind of, with that amount of work,
Just pretend that Damian Pierce doesn't exist. I mean, that's the same level of work as he had the previous two weeks. It is. He also had more targets, I believe, or more routes run for any running back. Over the last six weeks, the Broncos are 12 against fantasy running backs. If you adjust for schedule, like betraying their 31st on the season. So this is a team that you have to look how the trend is going. I think Devon Singletary is a fine volume play, but James Connor or Devon Singletary. With what happened last week of the Houdini Act that James Connor pulled on us, I would go Singletary. All right. We will turn the page. Jason is smiling. He's very happy with us. Is he looking at Pop Warner Brevin Jordan stuff or what? I am. I'm forcing Brevin Jordan into my lineup for days from Austria. Are you right now? Okay. Just for fun. I like that you're just because this is when you can.
You can definitely disclose to us without concern. Yeah, yeah. I have pushed him into my lineup. Okay. All right. This is great. Can't wait to get there. This will be the reason I'm shamed next week. All right. Let's take a quick break. Come back with this next matchup. Carolina's 1 in 10. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers 4 and 7. The games in Tampa and the Draft King Sportsbook line, Tampa minus 5. The overrunner is just 37 points. A couple of bottom dwellers in the NFC. It's a, and they're inversed. Carolina is a run funnel. The Buccaneers are a pass funnel. Who wins? But the Panthers can't throw the ball. So I'm going to say the Buccaneers win. And I'm going to say the real winner here is Rashad White. Yeah. Rashad White has been great 18.4 opportunities per game. There is hardly any other matchup better than targeting Carolina for running backs. I think it's, you know, obviously you're going to be starting him because he's been.
great for a long time, but this appears to be a blow-up opportunity. Shad White's the running back nine on the season, and he just doesn't, like he hits double digits. Yeah, the beginning of the year, the first six weeks, it was back and forth. Every other week was good, every other week, putrid. The last six weeks, he has not been outside the top 18 running backs on a single week. He's been fantastic. All right, so Rashab White, you start him. Mike Evans, you start him, and then are we done with Tampa? Are you okay with Baker in this game? I mean, the Panthers are kind of the Houston situation where quarterbacks are awful against them. I'm still okay streaming Baker in a very desperate situation with all the crazy buy weeks going on. Now, Mike, you've gone out on a really dangerous limb. I mean, in a storm. Like you're on a fragile limb. Okay. You weigh a little too much for it.
