Megalodon compresses three days into one endurance show

The hosts define Megalodon as three days of material jammed into one caffeine-fueled episode, predict they will end as sweaty puddles, and eventually rely on smelling salts after running out of gas.

moment

Three Deucers serve a full-show turkey mega-shame

After being voluntold into Fantasy Faceoff and shaming themselves, three Deucers become Turkey One, Two, and Three and must produce the entire Megalodon in hot, smelly, mostly ill-fitting costumes; the hosts later reverse their masks so they cannot see.

moment

The Megalabowl champion earns the 2026 Listener League seat

From more than 20,000 Megalabowl entries, the top six in each league reach the playoffs, the top half advance weekly, and the final week's highest scorer becomes champion and enters the 2026 Listener League.

moment

Annual Turkey Day Awards turn players into dishes

Kyle and Brooks select official annual awards that map fantasy players to Thanksgiving foods; categories include dependable mashed potatoes, the anti-traditional Jack-in-the-Box Mike Wright Special, and a pumpkin-pie player who is delicious until too much makes you sick.

moment

Jason mounts the Mega to revive the Boom Boom Kicker

Jason unexpectedly resurrects his ironclad, locked-and-loaded, 100-percent-guaranteed Boom Boom Kicker through a Megalodon ranch-hand story involving poop, a bazooka, and Ravens kicker Tyler Loop; the hosts insist it will never return again.

moment

Mike steals the Saints defense from Jason through the show document

Jason's Saturday message and shared show-document note reveal the Saints defense; Mike raises an existing three-dollar bid to six and wins it over Jason's planned zero-dollar claim, prompting Jason to say a League-of-Record champion will trade everything.

moment

The Falcon eats on company time and company dime

The hosts catch the Falcon chewing during the show and turn it into an employment interrogation: he is eating on their time, they paid for the snack, and the bite has allegedly lasted twelve minutes.

moment

YouTube graphics ship incomplete, Apple style

When Mike asks why matchup graphics lack distinct home and road jerseys, the hosts say the graphics package launched Apple style: omit the full package now so a future update can add it.

moment

Josh's broken microphone inspires the perfect reverse mute

Josh tries to answer from the turkey desk but his microphone fails; the hosts congratulate production for muting him and imagine reversing the control so every attempt to talk silences him automatically.

moment

Triple gobble rewards only listeners who finish the Megalodon

Three solo turkey noises create the triple-gobble candidate; the hosts choose and spell it, make it the giveaway hashtag proving a listener finished, integrate the gobbles into mailbag, and refuse to repeat it at the end for skippers.

summary

Episode notes

The Thanksgiving Megalodon deliberately jams three days of content into one endurance show. The Deucers, having been voluntold into Fantasy Faceoff and shamed themselves, serve a full-show mega-shame as Turkey One, Two, and Three: Josh, Al, and the Falcon must produce while hot, smelly, and costumed. The hosts explain that the 20,000-plus-entry Megalabowl ultimately awards its winner a place in the 2026 Listener League. Annual Turkey Day Awards translate players into Thanksgiving dishes, including the anti-traditional Mike Wright Special and the YouTube-comment-born pumpkin-pie category. Jason resurrects his ironclad, locked-and-loaded, 100-percent-guaranteed Boom Boom Kicker with an intentionally grotesque Megalodon monologue. During actual League-of-Record roster management, Mike sees Jason's Saints-defense note in the shared show document, raises his bid to six dollars, and takes the defense while Jason fumes that he would trade everything after winning the championship. Elsewhere, the hosts accuse the Falcon of eating on company time and dime, roast the graphics team for withholding home-and-road jerseys as an Apple-style update, celebrate Josh's broken microphone as a dream mute feature, and use smelling salts to survive. The turkeys' three gobbles become hashtag triple gobble, are folded into the mailbag drop, and are intentionally not repeated at the close so listeners who skipped ahead receive no reward.

and he didn't win you your week, and that's considered a downspell for him. It sure was. All of the... What a pathetic loser. All of the losses for Houston on the entire year. All five of them are one-score losses. So they have been in literally every single game, and really the underperformance of the offense has probably been the difference. Couldn't make big plays at the end. They have been making them. All their losses have been against playoff teams, the Rams, Buccaneers, Jacksonville, Seattle, and Denver. So Houston, I think, is much better than... people give them credit for and you're starting to see it now with the way the defense is played and the fact they're above 500 and then this game is a what would you call jason a lit litmus test litness litness litness with an end down with the litness um yeah so i'm i'm seeing a note cj stroud is expected to return for this game does that i mean does that give you more confidence or less confidence i i'm still on team stroud's better for you yeah

83:23 ↗

Not for the Texans. I'm saying like Nico Collins. Yes. If you're starting Nico Collins, you're starting Dalton Schultz. Like Dalton Schultz has really been much better with, you know, it could just be happenstance of the time and the specific matchups. There was a couple of good games in there with Stroud. I was going to say that he actually put up a quarterback four week against Baltimore when they were still struggling. But he also put up a quarterback four week against San Francisco in week eight. So out of his last four starts, you had two top five performances. I think it's probably being overplayed. Like their defense has been carrying. Stroud has, I mean, Davis Mills has definitely executed the offense very well. But I think it's a lot like Mac Jones and Brock Purdy. You could kind of be like, oh, man, we've won the games with Mac Jones. But it's like, do you get to where you need to go with Mac Jones? Or do you need to bring Brock Purdy back for that? So I don't, you know, I like Woody Marks in this game. You always play Nico Collins. Jason, you like Dalton Schultz in this game, which, you know.

84:21 ↗

Matchup makes sense. Those are all exciting matchup plays. On the other side, Jonathan Taylor, Daniel Jones. Like, where are you with Daniel Jones right now and the other options that you might have? There has not been one quarterback one performance, and they've played against Houston. They just made Josh Allen look inept. I mean, they were in his face every single play, and, you know, he had one of his worst games of the season. I can't imagine playing Daniel Jones in this match. I got two names that are in the start sit tool. for Daniel Jones versus Joe Burrow on Thursday. Burrow for sure. And then the other one is Jordan Love against Detroit. I think I'd be willing to go Jordan Love there, yeah. So does that sap your confidence for Pittman and Pierce and even Tyler Warren? The matchup is definitely one where like I've got Michael Pittman. He's in my lineup, but I'm holding my breath. I don't expect it to be great. The matchup for Pierce, probably even lower.

85:22 ↗

lower confidence looking elsewhere. Pierce or Slayton? Slaten's just been dealing with the hamstring issue. Pierce or Michael Carter and a flex? Pierce. You're going real low. I'm going to my life. You're going to your life. Who has these? Mike knew it right away. Who has these disgusting questions? Who's closing me out, man? Of course you're playing Pierce. Over Michael Carter? Yeah. Yeah. Just making sure that's how I haven't set up, boys. Congrats. Trying to survive. Okay, so Tyler Warren, he's your tight-in, you're going to play your tight-in. Yeah. And I think Warren can have a pretty instrumental role in fantasy championships this year. I think you're going to have some opportunities there. When you get into the fantasy playoffs, Tyler Warren is going to be right there for you. Anybody else in the receiving room? I mean, six targets last week for Christian Kirk. Jaden Higgins has been making some plays. Are you going beyond Nico?

86:23 ↗

Higgins is an okay play, but I'm not going to force him in. Yeah, I agree. And to speak to your point, Andy, in the playoffs, the Indianapolis Colts have the third best strength of schedule for the playoffs at the tight end position. So Tyler Warren's been kind of a little bit down after his hot start to the season, but he's got that dog and the schedule will open up. All right, Mike's fantasy defense, Mike Wright, the League of Record. The New Orleans Saints. At two and nine, take on the Miami Dolphins at four and seven. I was waiting for the head shake, Jay. Oh, does this make you feel any better? Hey, that does make me feel better. Hey, dozers, you guys look too bad. Can we get your best gobble? I can't believe we didn't ask for that. One at a time, one at a time. All right, that was Al Borland. That was pretty good. Not bad. That was not as good.

87:15 ↗

And you never disappoint. All right. I'm going to put hashtag triple gobble into the. Oh, hashtag triple gobble. Triple gobble. Okay. That might be it. I've got some in consideration here. The only problem with triple gobble. It's like a triple double. I know this is my problem and mine only. But I always want to put two peas in the word triple. Oh, trippipo. You're the only one that will do that though. Tripple. Triple double. I don't think that'll be a problem for the rest of the world. So we'll consider that one as well. We'll announce that hashtag soon enough. I've got three in consideration right now. So we'll see. The Saints, two and nine, Miami four and seven, Miami minus six in this one, over under 41.5. Okay. Not a lot of Sars State decisions coming out of these next two matchups, but let's go to the big names. I think that is, you know, eight hands on every week's start. You don't have to talk about it. I think...

88:10 ↗

On the other side, you're having the Devin Neal conversation, right? You're going to see Devin Neal with opportunity. I think the five catches on seven targets last week was interesting. One of the reasons that you like Juan Johnson is this has been consolidated, right? It's been Olave and Johnson. Devin Neal can get worked into that rotation. They're heavy underdogs, but... I like Devin Neal a lot. I think if you picked Devin Neal up, you... probably are going to play him this week. I see him as a running back too. Not that he's got some crazy ceiling this week, but the involvement, he should touch the ball 15 times in a game against the middle of the road defense against the run. And I believe Devon Neal is talented. So not that he's, you know, elite by any means. He's a sixth round rookie pick. But he's not, he's very competent.

89:00 ↗

Olave is in your lineup. Waddle in your lineup. Juan Johnson is Mike's start of the week at the tight end position. The Miami storyline this year has been so weird because they are still fighting for their coach. The overrunner and this one is just 41. Gross. So, you know, HN, you know is going to be fine. He just gets so much work. I hope we get another bounce back game from Waddle. I hope that's, you know. I think he's been, you're shaking your head, you're not so sure. I mean, he's a, I'm playing him pretty much no matter what as a top 15 option, but the, the Saints defense, like we pointed out, they're not the worst. And right now, I mean, they're 11th against fantasy wide receivers over the past six weeks, so it's been tougher. Let me ask you some Devon Neal questions because four of the top eight starts it questions on the entire week or Devon Neal. Yeah. So these are the names.

90:00 ↗

that people are deciding on. Devin Neal or Woody Marks? I'm very much on the Woody side. I think I'm the Woody Marks. Yeah, he's got more experience right now. I'll lean Woody. Tyrone Tracy Jr. or Devon Neal? I have Devon Neal one spot ahead. Christian Watson or Devon Neal? I'll go Christian Watson. And then Devin Neal or Aaron Jones, Sr. That one's pretty interesting. I'll go Aaron Jones, Sr. Yeah, the, yeah, maybe. The split between him and Mason was interesting last week of Mason finally looked like he was okay on the ground. Yeah, I think you start to get that office just had to find something. Sure. Atlanta's four and seven. The jets are two and nine. The Vegas line here, Atlanta minus two and a half in week 13, over under 39 and a half. Gross. Okay. Aaron Glenn.

91:04 ↗

The Thanksgiving is just siphoning all the good games. Yeah, the Falcons Jets battle is not one that I'm going to be glued to. The Kirk Cousins to Rod Taylor matchup. These teams, these quarterbacks faced off against each other in 2015. Wow. Yeah. That was a minute ago. They were both top five quarterbacks that week, boys. It was just 10 years ago. Just, you know, just 10 years. Yeah. It's a lifetime. Honestly, how impressive is it that Tarad Taylor is still playing 10 years later? He's at a long career. Yeah. How old is Tarad Taylor? Is he older than Brissette? Oh, yeah, way older. 36. Yeah. You know, Brissette's only 32. Interesting. He feels like he's been around forever. Taylor. Taylor has made over $82 million? Oh, yeah. He got a starting contract. There's an Instagram handle.

92:03 ↗

This guy only does reels. And all he does is say things like, if you had made, you know, $50,000 a year since George Washington was born, you still wouldn't have made as much money as third string backup. This guy. Like he's got, he just, every day it's one of those guys that you're like, holy, like, Lou All Dang has made more money than if you made this much per minute since George Washington was born. But Trott Taylor's done good work. Good for you, Taylor. Yeah. Yeah, that's crazy. All right, Bijon, play your Bijon. Play your Breeze Hall. Yeah, it's a good matchup for Breece Hall. The Falcons run defense has kind of evaporated early in the season. It seemed like they were going to shut people down. Who what are they? What are they? Nobody knows. How? Why? With Kirk Cousins, do we have an update on Drake London? He's doubtful. Okay, so without Drake London, that version of Kirk Cousins, which is the only version we have seen so far, is going to set.

93:01 ↗

the Jets up to be a little bit more competitive in this game, have more opportunities for Brees Hall. So I'm happy to play Brees this week. If you want to strap on a pair of significantly protective underpants, John Metchie could be okay. He's been the wider series 17 and 13 the last two weeks. There is, it is a little bit enticing with how bad the Falcons have been. And you look at a situation like Alec Pierce, for example, or a more, you know, even Christian Watson, Watson I'd play. But when you look at a matchup and you say, hey, do I want to go for the one big play type of guy or do I want to take a shot at John Mechie getting more targets? No, I agree. If you look at what happened, so he got traded to the Jets three weeks ago. The first week, 16% of snaps was not involved. Makes sense. He just arrived at the team.

93:55 ↗

The last two weeks, 82% and 86% of the snaps, both weeks a touchdown. Both weeks, decent yardage, 45 and 65 yards. They need him. And, you know, he came in as a good player. He was a second round pick. Maybe a little bit overdrafted, missed the beginning of his career with the cancer situation. But he's still a young guy, 25 years old. I like taking a shot of John Mitchell. I got a nasty one for you. Mechie or Jordan Addison. I play Mechie. I think I'm going Metschie there. That's where we are. Yeah, and Kyle would like you to know, Mason Taylor, zero forced tackles on the season. What do you mean forced tackles? Missed tackles? That's probably what he meant. Forced missed. He said forced tackles. Mason Taylor forces tackles all the time. Yeah. Even when there's not a defender around. He forced his tackles. Yeah. How about METI versus Chemmerie DK?

94:56 ↗

I see them about the same. Okay. I don't pick. I'll play them both with my roster. Yeah, you would. Darnel Mooney on the other side are Mechie. Mooney. Kyle Pitts. Or Mechie? No, just Kyle Pitts. I'm just saying the name out last. Kyle Pitts. It's not even a question mark. It's just the name. Okay. He plays. He's there. He is the punctuation after Kyle Pitts's name is a frown emoji. Right. It's just Kyle Pitts frown. If you. Kyle Pitts last week was two for 25. The team scored 24 points against New Orleans. There was no Drake London. Remember we had Mr. Necessary at Titan? Yes. He is truly Mr. Unnecessary. He's Mr. Unnecessary. He makes no sense. And honestly, he had a couple big plays that he dropped in that game. And Kyle, who could they have drafted instead of Kyle? Yeah, I can't remember. I can't remember, man.

95:53 ↗

Every person on planet Earth. No, but who went like those ones? Who was the point after him? Some wide receiver for the Bengals. Oh my gosh. You can't remember his name. What is it? It's, uh, yeah, Jamar or something. Like we're chasing that name. Yeah. Okay. He didn't want to say it. He's still hurting. Arizona's three and eight, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers six and five. Tampa Bay is struggling right now. Yeah. Tampa Bay, they are favored. Three point favorites at home over under 44 and a half. Some optimism that Baker Mayfield will be able to play in this game. He is a tough son of a gun. He is. That's a dog. Laser. Yeah, he is. But if he plays, I think that's a tough start. The Cardinals on the season and over the last six weeks are 10th against fantasy quarterbacks. You know who's out now. Walter Nolan. Oh, are you serious? For real? Already declared out. Oh. Yeah, so I don't think Will Johnson or Walter Nolan will be out.

96:50 ↗

The, but of say of the, the Cardinals defense against quarterbacks has been good. And you are, I mean, you're one hit, one good hit, and then you've lost your fantasy quarterback. That, yeah, playing Baker versus being happy Baker's playing for the other players are two different things. Right. I would not try to play Baker. I would try to find another option. The over, under, it's pretty low. But I want him to play. I want to see him behind center with Bucky Irving returning with Emeka Abuka. They have a connection with Godwin being back out there. He only played a very small percentage of the snaps. They're working him into the rotation. It's just better for the game. And the Cardinals did a really good job of giving Brock Purdy's confidence a couple of weeks ago. So we will see what happens. The other report is that Bridgewater is going to get the majority of the first team reps.

97:42 ↗

as they weighed on him. He should, yeah. Both of those things should happen. Like Baker can play without him and Teddy needs them. So we'll see. Teddy's not the worst, right? From a backup quarterback perspective, he looked okay. Where are you with Abuka if Teddy started? I'm still starting Abuka if Teddy's starting. He targeted him enough. It didn't work out. They didn't connect a lot. But also in that last matchup, you know, it was much more difficult for Bridgewater and Baker. The Rams. rush past defense was just annihilating that offensive line. With Walter Nolan out, I don't think the Cardinals are going to really make it as difficult for Teddy. So I'm fine. I'm not starting Teddy. I'm not starting Baker, but I am starting a Buka, regardless of who the quarterback is. By what I can see here, Teddy hasn't started a game since 2022. We took some time off from football. Yeah, he was, well, yeah, it's a coach football. Yeah, coach football.

98:40 ↗

But I'm just saying, I mean, he was on the Detroit roster, at least for a little bit. That's a long time for us to have not seen Teddy throw. Tampa has been statistically quite awful, giving up 25 points a game to running backs. What do you do with the Cardinal running back room? This is why I brought up Michael Carter earlier because, you know, Bam Knight and Michael Carter, as of right now, that seems to be the guys that are going to play in this game. You don't think it's Trey Benson? I haven't seen a single report about Trey Benson playing in this game. Has anybody seen anything? Competitive advantage. I don't have any reason to believe that Tray Benson's playing. The reason I have to believe that he could play is that at the end of last week, it seemed like there was a real chance for him to play. So given that he basically has to start this week or next week based on the 21-day window and that he almost played last week.

99:34 ↗

I would not be shocked if Trey Benson plays. If Trey Benson plays, I'm happy to start him. As of mine. If Trey Benson is out, you know, there's... You're unhappy to start other players? Yeah, exactly. Yes. Michael Wilson, not Michael Thomas. He's much better than Michael Thomas. Michael Wills in the start of the week for yours truly, would you play Michael Wilson or a Bucca? Oh my goodness. That's right. That's right. Hard-hitting questions. Let me go to the deucer cam what you think about it. I know what the answer is. I just don't know if I'm strong enough to say it. Right. Yeah. I'm not strong enough. If Marvin Harrison is inactive, I will go Michael Wilson. If Marvin Harrison is active, I will go at Bucca. See, you know what I find interesting here? And this is really going to hit just the YouTube crowd.

100:24 ↗

We've got the Cardinals, right? And we've got Tampa Bay. They look very similar. But we didn't go like, we don't go home road on the matchup jerseys, huh? No. Okay. Do you know how much does double the work? It just looks like it's red on red. Helmets are different. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Sorry. I mean, it's a long show guys. I mean, do you want it to be like the alternative uniforms as well? I think there's a home and road jersey, Mike. I think that's just the way the world works. I don't feel like that's not that hard. We're trying to be efficient here. Oh, you're wanting to, then you're like, oh, we're going to get the color rush? Yes. No, I don't need that. I don't need color. I just want home and road. The graphics guy is shaking in his boots right now. This is like a. Don't make me do it. When we introduced these graphics for the YouTube, we did it Apple style. We eliminated the total package so that we could release an update. Ah, nice. You know what I mean? Yeah. Could have done it right the first time, but whatever.

101:16 ↗

Check out iOS 27. Trey McBride, play him, please, all the time. And then if Harrison's back, I'm moving away from Dorch. If he's not, I think Dorch is still a dart throw. If there's no Harrison, would you play Dorch or Mechie? Dorch or Mechie? Probably Dorch. I mean, last week, nine targets, six for 53, a touchdown again. So yeah. Nobody gets up in a game where they're down by a bunch and is more excited about a nine-yard catch. Greg Dorch. Greg Dorch. He stunts on them when they're down big. It's so tough because if you're not a star player, if you're not like part of the core of the team, then it really is about you to some degree. And so you score this touch to her. You're not celebrating even though you're down a ton. I don't know. I simultaneously, I watch a guy celebrate when he's down and go, that is embarrassing. If you catch 100 passes on the year or you catch 10 passes on the year.

102:15 ↗

The 10 you catch are 10 times more valuable to you. And so then on the other side, I'm like, I get it, man. Go celebrate. You just got that touchdown. That's what Dorja does. The Rams, the number one seat in the NFC at 9 and 2 take on the Carolina Panthers, who are 6 and 5. The Rams are 10 point road favorites. The overrunners 44 and a half. And I enjoyed the Rico Dowdle social media tweet yesterday of just the befuddled emoji. Just the face of like, I don't understand why I got six carries. Yeah, that was a coaching catastrophe to, you had the first and goal on the one, or maybe even the half yard line, and you don't give RICO any chances. That's ridiculous. The second half opens up. Maybe they will actually look and be like, but why aren't we giving RICO the ball? They give RICO the ball. Huge junk gain. No more RICO. That was it.

103:13 ↗

What are we doing here, man? The reason that your team is in the position is in is not because of Bryce Young. It's because of Rico Dowdle. Don't let the one game last week of the 400 yards be like, no, this is who Bryce is now. It just makes you nervous this week. Yeah, for sure. The Rams are such a great defense and a great running defense, and it's like. They're number one on the season of fewest fancy points given up to the running back position. They average. If you adjust for the schedule, they've played, 13 and a half fantasy points and half PPR to the running back position. So now you know Chuba is going to get some of that, and it's going to be split with Rico. It's a worrisome start for me where I do look at other players. I'm sorry. I'm looking at the start-seat questions. This one makes sense, right? Rico Doudal or Woody Marks? What would you do? I can see going Woody Marks. I'm fine with that. I can see it. I see DeAndre Swift or Rico Doudal. Another reasonable question. Yeah. And then I go down to one of our more recent ones.

104:07 ↗

And somebody out there, I'm looking at you. Somebody just typed in. This is recent. Okay. Jonathan Taylor or Rico Donald. Oh, man, that's tough. My guy. My guy. My guy. What do you do? You're in the streets, man. Yeah, what do you? Come on. I'm going to lean Jonathan Taylor. Yeah. Just because of the matchup. Teteroa McMillan scored again last week, saving the week. He scored in two straight. He's on pace for about 80 and 11007. I think Tetaroa, you just play him. Yeah, absolutely. Did you know? Now, he hasn't had a bye week. Okay. So that does factor in. That Tederoa McMillan is a top 10 fantasy wide receiver on the year. Wide receiver. No buy week? Correct. But just... What's his points per game? I bet he's about 18, 19?

104:53 ↗

11.4. Yeah. Well, no, no. I meant rank. Sorry. Sorry. Jason gave me the points for game number. I meant where did he rank? He compared to, because you said he was 10 or 9 on the season. I'm just curious if somebody has that. He's 18. Yeah, that's how he, there you go. That's how he feels. And that's great. That's fine. A head of Roma dunzae. Gosh, darn it. It's not amazing. It's good. It's you didn't let me down as a rookie, but your top 10 pick, like I could see being a little disappointed. I think the hype is. You want to know what I love about it? We haven't finished this season, and he's going to finish really strong. I mean, well, if they give Rico six carries the week, he really will. Yeah, I'm thrilled to start Tetaroa rest of season, and I do think he's going to be special down the stretch. Puka, Devante play them, Kyron play them. It's not hard. The Stafford decision.

105:52 ↗

Also, you can play him. It's a, it's looking like a magical year. They are by far the favorites to reach a Super Bowl in terms of the Vegas odds. They have the best combination in the league right now of offense and defense. They're, yes. They just, they don't have a weakness on either side of the ball. They can run the ball. They could pass. Yeah, you can look at Philly and Kansas City and they've got great defenses and you're like, well, their offenses are okay. Right. This is like a cruising offense. Minnesota's four and seven, the Seahawks, eight and three. This should be interesting. Seattle minus 11 and a half. Overrunners 41 and a half, and the Vikings are just, their season's done. It's done. It's very, very done. Yeah. So what does that mean for the fantasy production in the playoffs? We had talked at the trade deadline time about the amazing schedule for Jefferson. This is why.

106:46 ↗

I think it's devastating that he's got the concussion. Now, maybe missing the Seattle game in Seattle's okay. But beyond that, you better line up JJ McCarthy for four straight, five straight weeks and cook with the, or you're be cooking at an in and out. The implied total for Minnesota at 15 is not. 15 points. Yeah, there's not a lot of faith coming in here for the other quarterback. Jefferson had the lowest line he's ever had in any sports book last week. Oh, it was like 69 yards. Yeah. It is 62 this week, which is his new all-time low. The switch to Brasmer, not encouraging when you're not at home and you're playing Seattle in Seattle. It is, it's really hard to start any Vikings with any confidence this week, including JJ, for me. I'm switching from Aaron Jones to Devon Neal. Because of just how overwhelming this field. Yeah, the matchup, the projected point total. It's not a good look for Minnesota right now.

107:46 ↗

it hard to imagine i mean less max brosmer comes in here and just really surprises and you go oh okay there's a quarterback competition but keep in mind when j j mccarthy was not active carson lynce was borderline dead couldn't move or use physically yes the less half of his body he already had the injury to which he then immediately afterwards you know had seasoning surgery and they're like yeah you got to Carson, we can't go to Brosmer. You've got to get back out there, Carson. So I, you know, I don't think they were sitting there going, we got something special back here. It seems like because of the way the game script is, 26.5 implied point total on that low over under, like Kenneth Walker is really in play again. Kenneth Walker, it unfortunately has not translated to really special production, but. Bro, I'm pretty happy.

Well, I mean, just, yeah. Double digits. You had a top 12. Let's go. You had a top 12 against the Rams. Six and a half of carry last week. They did it again, though, last week. Yes. And that's what I was going to bring up is the snaps and the opportunities, they have really shifted to Walker. They did give him chances. I mean, they gave him red zone opportunities last week. He had three attempts inside the red zone. Yeah, inside the 20. He had one inside the five. Yeah, but he did have the drive where he got him down there and then they switched to Sharbs, and Sharps got in. Yep. No, it's, that's, is, is, yeah, Walker is, I love Walker is a good play, but are you playing Charbs? Like, are you going to chase? No. The touchdowns. I'm not. Okay. I think the, the workload, seeing him out there so much, I mean, six carries for Charbs, you are, you were, you were.

playing for one carriage. Yes, you are. I'm just saying in this matchup where Seattle is at home favored by 11 and a half points. Yeah, I'd lean Walker. You would imagine, yeah, I would play Walker over Charbs, yeah. You'd imagine that there's a good chance Sharps could get a touchdown. Manangai or Charbs? Charbs. Charbs. Charbs or Jordan Mason? Charbs. Yeah. And all that is. I like Montanangai more. I couldn't say his name right, but I like him. Monong guy. Manong guy. JSN, I would play him. Yeah. This week is tough decision. Mashed potatoes like that? Yes, sir. Yeah. And Jefferson, I think that's the biggest. I'm going to go look at the start sit tool right now. Yes. With Jefferson, and I'm going to see his name. I just imagine people are going to be worried about Jefferson. I mean, are you? He's barely in my 24 right now. I've got one for you without looking at what people are asking.
