Put me in, coach. All right, Cardinals, Chiefs returning from the buy. We, uh... Yeah, but it's week 13, so we should probably send four teams on to buy. Let's do it, Mike. The Browns, the Packers, the Titans, the Panthers. What are we doing? No surgery for Rogers, by the way. But he does want to make a lot of this injury publicly. He wants a lot to be known about how serious it is. He's just so tough. He's fighting through it. He's so tough. Um...

It's a tough guy. It's a tough guy. Long hair. Browns, Packers, Titans, Panthers on by. Two weeks till the fantasy playoffs. There's a lot to consider with your ad-drop considerations here. Do you need a pickup for this week? Do you need one for playoff weeks? Are you stashing backup running backs because your team is set? Are you looking at future matchups? I'll give you an example. One of the greatest delights of my life.

is receiving a DM from Al Borland saying something like, curse you, you took my defense. And I did that this week. I picked up the Colts last week who have Houston, and I'm facing Al-Borland this week for the byweek in our League of Records. So don't be an out. That's all I'm saying. Yeah. Good advice there, Mr. Borling? I guess. I put a healthy bid on it. I was really surprised you got the D. I bid zero.

He did. All right. We're looking at wide receiver. Wide receiver pickups. Now, you said that you said that you picked up the Colts because they're playing Houston. Yeah. And is T.Y. Hilton active. He is active and he scored last week. Little appetizing. T.Y. Houston, we have a problem.

If you need to start this week, there's your guy. Let me ask you, because I am actually facing this decision in a league. I have T.Y. Houston, got Marvin Jones, got Emmanuel Sanders, AJ Green. Are you really, is this a full, just diving off the diving board into the narrative and just taking T.Y. Houston? I am on the high dive. And I am doing a front facing backflip.

off of that high dive. Oh, like a gainer? Yeah. And I'm sure. Yes. He hit his head on the board on the way down. Oh, no. Because, yeah, I really am starting. You really would. I really genuinely would. I don't mind picking up. It's magical powers. It is. Well, you know, and it's funny, too, because we joke about it. And if you're not in on the joke, we are talking about T. Y. Hilton being T. Y. Houston because every single game he is.

ever played against Houston. 75% of his career yards are against Houston. It's something like that. He is always. Is that a how it feels thing? Yes. A dominator. And we, and we joke about it. We make the jokes. But they know this. They talk about this. They, they're not. He was four for 80 against them this year. Yeah. They're not unaware that this is like his.

special place is playing against Houston. So just some like really good food he eats when he goes there. I don't know, man. He's, man, imagine if he signed in Houston and gets half of his games there. Would, would that be a resurgence for his career? But we don't know if it's them or the Houston defense. He had, you know, he had 61% of the snaps, five targets. So he's back. He's active and he's got the matchup. If I'm looking at a weekly play, I don't know.

someone else that checks as many boxes because most of the good wide receivers are obviously rostered right now. I mean, if I eukes out there. You're chasing Deshaun Jackson's big week? I don't think so. I think, you know, both Deshaun Jackson and T.Y. Hilton are looking at four or five targets. People want to know if they should be cutting Corey Davis, Cortland Sutton. I'm certainly comfortable for both of those guys to be cut. I don't think that they're... Yes.

I don't think they're in the category of, oh, man, they're going to help me in the playoffs. Emmanuel Sanders is probably in that category, too. Like, he's been absolutely awful. I mean, not kind of awful. Like, unplayably awful for five consecutive weeks. He gets the Patriots twice coming up here. Tampa Bay as well. But, I mean, he is not getting targets, not enough of him. Yeah, I'd be willing to move on. Like, if I'd flex Dawson Knox over him. Wow.

For sure. I don't blame you. So I think you can. And then Cadarius Tony, people want enough if you cut him. I don't think so. I do not cut him. Just like, yeah, we're going back to what seems like 10 years ago in terms of football. But he has it. He has the magic that if the right scenario presents itself, Cadarious Tony will be dominant. All right. You mentioned T.Y. Hilton. Would you take T.Y. Hilton over Van Jefferson?

No, I would not. No, there's a couple of players out there that are probably not available on your waivers that are, you know, great pickups. Van Jefferson has been 98% of snaps. He's very involved without Robert Woods. We saw him have, you know, a solid game this last week. I loved the question of Van Jefferson or Odell Beckham. I think I lean Odell Beckham. But.

Van Jefferson is involved on a good offense with a good quarterback. And I mentioned Brandon Ayuk who's, it's like 85% rostered. But with Debo out, I think that those guys are certainly ahead of the pack. If Debo's out and Joanne Jennings will also step into that wide receiver two role behind Brandon Ayuk, which could be relevant. I mean, if you are missing Debo, you're missing a lot of this offense. You only saw one target for Kiddle last week.

Joanne Jennings did score. Yeah, it's tough for the Joanne Jennings versus Trent Sherfield conversation. Joanne had more snaps and a few more targets this past week. So that's, I mean, they did come out and say that he would be. Oh, did they? Yeah, well, the athletic reporter, he would be the number two in the offense. Okay. Well, then that should give you some more confidence. It's not that you're super stoked about picking up Juan Jennings to play, but.

Desperate times, man. He should be on the field. Other options. Kendrick Bourne is 21% rostered. MVS, 36% with now Randall Cobb being out. He is on the by week, unfortunately. But MVS has been, I mean, that's two games in a row of high target volume. It's called the setup is what he calls it. It absolutely could be. It didn't turn into like huge fantasy numbers, only four for 50.

but it was on nine targets. Yeah. So he is, he's interesting. We heard an update on Cobb status. Okay. And we probably won't get one then, but like a $0 just addition to your bench if you are looking for something. Yeah, I mean, sure. I don't think I would personally care enough to pick up MVS to hold them through a buy in hopes that, you know, Cobb and Lazard are still out.

You know, it's like if he was active this week, sure, I might be able to play him. But two weeks from now, I'm not that confident in starting him. So to pick him up and hold him through a buy to probably not start him. Probably not good advice. It's just, I mean, it's all relative, right, what your options are, what your league is like. But hopefully there's better options. What about Nick Westbrook Aquino? He's also on a buy week. Yeah. So these are players that.

You could tuck away, but you probably need somebody this week. So you're looking at T.Y. Hilton. Deshaun Jackson plays Washington. Like that is a revenge game. Good matchup. He only had four targets. But I think you saw the impact he can make on the offense. Three for 102, big touchdown. But I think Kendrick Bourne belongs near the top of this list if Van Jefferson is out. I mean, just with how the defense is or the offense is playing. And then spot starts for Joanne Jennings.

Russell Gage, if you want to try it. Russell Gage. They're not going to be able to run against Tampa. Absolutely on this list. I mean, if you look back, he's had eight targets, seven targets, the last two games. Obviously, we know he can goose at any point. It's like his specialty. But if you're talking about a guy who is for sure out there, he's going to play a lot of snaps.

on a team that's going to need to, I mean, in the matchup against Tampa Bay, you're going to need to throw the ball. They're going to be focused on Kyle Pitts, who, you know, most teams have found success trying to do that and focus their defense towards Pitts. And that opens things up for, you know, he was a wider receiver won this last week. Russell Gage was 6'462 in a touchdown. So I think Russell Gage is fine to be picked up and played. It has been the Pits playing Kyle Pitts. Hey-oh.

Five straight weeks of not being – we were talking about it on the show yesterday. Do we have a season-long update on – Oh, Frye Muth has got to be closing in. Who the best rookie is this year at Tide-in? It's got to be the Muth. I will let us know. I'm sure you will. Running back options, people want to know. Would you cut bait on Jeff Wilson? Completely uninvolved. Now, but Debo's out. But Wilson wasn't good when he's alone. So there's –

I feel like roster spots are a premium right now. I have a team with Jeff Wilson. Would you move on for, and maybe we ask it with these guys, but are you moving on? Not in general, unless there is someone better to move on for. He's the best example of the MVS versus Jeff Wilson. This week, Jeff Wilson could rise in value. Something could happen, whereas on buy MVS wouldn't. So roster spots are valuable, and that's why I'm pretty much going to have. He's...

Wilson is just an insurance running back. That's all he is, is a backup. But those guys can certainly skyrocket and value, whereas, you know, a wide receiver middling on by isn't going to improve your roster next week. Alexander Madison. Before we jump into fully into the running back, sorry. I think he's worth mentioning. Devante Parker.

Pay attention to the news. We don't know if he will be back yet. But Giants this week, if he happens to be back, by week, Jets, Saints, Tennessee. Like he's got a good stretch run and before the unfortunate back-to-back injury situation was involved. Nine targets in week four, then it got hurt.

11 targets in week 8, then he got hurt. So he's a name to monitor in a deep league. Oh, update. Oh. On the season, Kyle Pitts and Pat Fryer Meath are back to back. The tight end 10 and 11 with Kyle Pitts having a small lead of six fantasy points. Yeah, I mean, I know where I'd go rest of the season right now. You'd go get loose? Yeah.
