Week 12 Matchups + In-or-Out, All Chewed Up

Two times on the year. Once it was the quarterback 14. So you're not happy with that. And the other time was Patrick Mahomes. So, yeah, he's pretty good. Who was the 14? 14 was Baker. Ooh. Oh, that's right. They beat the Browns beat the Raven. In Baltimore. Do you guys see this Jalen Ramsey tweet? Yes. He says, so Michael Vic, hey, how would you stop someone like, well,

Well, kind of like yourself, but the 2019 version, I need tips. That's funny. Which, that's wonderful. Lamar is incredible this season. He's in a top three quarterback seven of ten games. You're never benching him. Jared Goff, he's up against it in this one. He's a full-on bench. Mark Ingram, big game last week. Todd Gurley, 25 touches. I think they're both in your lineup. Hollywood Brown. Hollywood? What do you think?

It's a super sketchy proposition here against Jalen Ramsey and the Rams. The Rams have allowed the second fewest 20-plus yard pass. He plays. And honestly, that's what you have to get with Markey's Brown. He has to hit on his big plays. Or you end up like a performance last week where two for 20 or something. Plus matchup against the Houston Texans, two for 23. It's true. That's true. Cooper Cup, last three weeks, bye week.

Goose and then 3 for 53. Brandon Cooks, he's been out. Robert Woods, we don't know if he'll be back in there. The one thing we do know is that Josh Reynolds has played basically every snap when one of these guys has been missing, but he's got the illness right now. So, you know, the Ravens secondary playing so well. Upside capped? Yeah, very much. I mean, Reynolds has been fine. You know, he had the big game when he had to come in with Brandon Cook's left with a concussion, three for 73 with a touchdown.

Three for 49, three for 55. I mean, those are fine replacement wide receiver three numbers. But Jason, is your confidence, is your confidence in Josh Reynolds stay the same if Robert Woods plays? No. Okay. No, I'm only putting Josh Reynolds in the lineup. I'm not factoring that Brandon Cooks is supposed to be back. So if all three of the three musketeers are back.

Four of the Rams, then Josh Reynolds becomes right back to the bench. For the sake of Monday night football, the three are back. You know, we want to see this line is protecting golf better this last week. One, you know, a very small sample, but they were, it was, you know, addition by subtraction. They lost two of their terrible O linemen, and the replacements came in and said, yeah, we were better than those guys. How many past attempts did you even have?

Oh, 18, I believe. Yeah, it was very, very low. But easier to not give up sacks if he hands the ball to Gurley 25 times. Yeah, but the point is they were succeeding early in the running game. They were opening up lanes for Gurley, which actually allows the play action that Goff thrives in to work. And, you know, he had a couple, you know, you look at the Josh Reynolds touchdown that was called back and the Cooper Cup.

50-yard touchdown that was an inch away from being a touchdown and then was on the goal line. Sure, but my point is those plays happened in real life. And if those two things just, you know, the inch is further and the holding that didn't affect the play isn't called, then you're looking at golf last week as a monster fantasy option. So this is why, you know, if he's got his three musketeers, you could be surprised. But I'm not, you know, I'm not going to.

I'm not going to roll with golf this week. I'm just hopeful. Okay, Mark Andrews in, but then do you roll with the counterpoint on the other side? Gerald Everett, who last week won for 20. He really wasn't on the field. I'm assuming his injury that he was dealing with throughout the week held him back because he was only on the field for 26% of snaps. Do you have confidence in the flip-flopping Mount Everett?

No, and part of it is the discussion about the Three Musketeers being back on the field, and you mix that with the Ravens defense and Jared Goff's inefficiency, the limited passing attempts, the injury to Gerald Everett. I would actually be really trying to pivot away from him this week personally. By the way, over the last 18 games that Jared Goff has played, his touchdown to interception ratio is one to one, and it's 18 touchdowns, 18 interceptions. It's not a lot of upside.

especially because I remember the one time he had a good game this year against Atlanta. Mike, you called that game. It's been a long time since we've seen Jared Goff put up a monster performance. Ballers on a budget, presented by Fandul. All right, I'm going to kick this thing off. I'm going to kick it off with a player that I have, I don't believe ever recommended before, but I'm pretty confident in it. I talk. Would you say you love him? Oh, yeah. He's my favorite. What?

Jason. Yeah. No, I'm doing it. Look, Mitchell Trubisky. What? Is a good DFS play this week. His splits between top 10 passing defenses and bottom 10 passing defenses mixed with his splits home and on the road. He has had great success at home against bad defenses. Well, he's at home.

He's against a bad defense. He is also only $7,000. To give you an idea of how low that is on Fanduel, here are the only quarterbacks that you could possibly get cheaper than Mitchell Trabisky. And they're basically the same exact price. You've got Mason Rudolph, Dwayne Haskins, Brandon Allen, Kyle Allen, and Ryan Finley. I mean, those are the worst of the worst. We've seen Trubisky have... Is that an injury risk built in, the fact you could leave the game?

It could be in the sense that he left the last game. Injury and performance risk. Absolutely. And what I'm not saying is, like, I wouldn't recommend him necessarily in your redraft leagues because, you know, it's season long and what you do affects. But this game, you're taking a shot on a guy that's super cheap who could go out there and easily throw two or three touchdowns or run a touchdown in as well. And, you know, Alan Robinson's my start of the week because I believe.

Tribisky can succeed in this match. Mike? I'm going with Benny Snell. I'm taking the free square at the running back position, $4,500. And this is assuming he plays, which he's been practicing in full without limitations. He gets the Bengals. I quoted the game he had against the charges. It was very strong. I believe that the Steelers, they've seen enough of Jalen Samuels to know that he is not the option that they need to actually run the ball.

He can catch the ball just fine, but he can't run like Benny. And I'm not saying Benny Snell is an incredible player. No, you're 100% right. But he's going to get the opportunity. I think Pittsburgh's defense is going to actually swallow Ryan Finley hole like a snake, and they're going to run the ball out. And Benny Snell is going to see the ball, or get, you know, 12 to 15 touches. I imagine it's better to be eaten whole than chewed up. Is it?

I don't know. Then you... Yes. Jason is so positive. But here's the thing about... So you get... Chewed up, it's over. Chewit up. You're going to have a few real, real painful moments. You get swallowed whole. You're swimming in, like, stomach acid as you just dissolve. If I'm swallowed whole... Not if I brought a knife with me. I'm cut my way out. I was going to say, if I'm swallowed a whole... Or you probably suffocate. I have a chance to survive.

I can wait what animal are you breaking out of it's got to be a whale man who's swallowing me whole i said like a snake this is a this is the anaconda from the movie anaconda then i'll take out my pocket knife and i will cut my way out your pocket knife yes i always have it on me you don't have a pocket knife do you i'm a manly man and uh you've got plastic silverware in your pocket right

It's a spork. All right. It's so practical. It works with everything. Rice or meat. It doesn't matter. I'm going to go with the Russell Gage double up. He was my start of the week. He's 5300. Whereas Calvin Ridley is at 6,700. I think both are nice plays this week. I also just want to bring up the fact that Hollywood Brown, who is kind of a, you know, he's a tough, massive.

boom bust opportunity. He's only 300 more than Russell Gage at 5600. But I think Russell Gage at 5300 is very interesting with Hooper out and the matchup the way it is. No team, you know, Tampa is the worst in the NFL in terms of past defense. And so I think you have an opportunity. You can join the fantasy footballers leaderboard series.
