But he's good. He has an actual asset to this team. But if you have Garrett Wilson, who is fully legit. Superstar. Elijah Moore, I do think is a legit player. And they just, something weird was going on. But maybe we figured it out. Those two wide receivers with Mike White is very interesting. You know the lions are favored? I wanted to look that up and that blows my mind. They're favored on the road in this game. Wow. Yeah, by a point. Holy moly. So just throwing it out there. Sure. I don't think golf is a nervous start, but you might not have the ability to pivot to a Mike White. You might have to be riding. And I hope that they can figure it out here. And I, playing for the playoffs. What an amazing game that's going to be. I will keep everyone filled in. Didn't think Jets Lions would be that exciting at the point in the year. We'll keep everyone filled in through the course of the week.

54:46 ↗

But in the League of Record playoffs, I had, you know, I was riding with Jared Gough last week. I had, I picked up Mike White on Sunday just in case, me and Kyle won and got into the playoffs to play Mike White this week. And that's currently how we have it. Not nervous about a midgame knockout like last week when Joe. Oh, when I saw him just getting the crap beat out of him, it was like, okay, I guess we're not streaming Mike White. I'd be afraid of the rib injury coming up. But he finished the game and, yeah, like.

55:16 ↗

Again, we need all weeks. We need all the information on Mike White. So other streamers, who you guys got? Kirk Cousins against Indianapolis. Indianapolis has been the 23rd ranked defense against fantasy quarterbacks over the last five weeks. They're at home. I think Kirk is an interesting play. He's got the best wide receiver in football. And you've seen, you know, he would have had a better week last week if Mr. T. J. Hockinson could catch a few more passes. Sure. touchdown. So I don't like it as much as the upside of a Mike White game against Detroit, but I still think he's solid and safer than the ribs. And this, look, this guy, he's on your waiver wire. I did not have the courage whatsoever to do this. I get it. Well, look, I am the merchant of steel underpants. Brock Purdy against the Seattle Seahawks. Divisional game completed 71% of his passes. We, you know, we get to give really fun stats. Like he's the only

56:15 ↗

quarterback in his first start to beat Tom Brady. That's fun. Five total touchdowns already. The fact that Debo is out, that really, really sucks. But there are just, there's so many playmakers around. He seems to go face Seattle in Seattle. He seems to fit exactly what the Shanahan system wants and needs. And he's already, I can't remember the stat off the top of my head, but it's like essentially like, long touchdowns outside the numbers? Like, Brooke Purdy basically already tied what Jimmy Garoppolo did for this team. He's more willing to go down the field. He's accurate. The fact that he remained on this team while they were committed to Trey Lance and they did all the stuff to bring Jimmy Garoppolo back indicated how much they had faith in this kid. So I'm going to trust the Shanahan faith and the weapons around Brock Purdy. I think you can stream him. Some other.

57:13 ↗

options out there. Mack Jones has the Raiders matchup, but we need, I think you need him to get some wide receivers back healthy. Yeah. Matt Ryan against Captain Kirk. That's some diamond underpants. I know, but Minnesota has just been, their secondary has been absolutely putrid. And then if you're playing in Super Flex leagues, there's a couple of quarterbacks you want to not forget to pick up. Um, that would be Colt McCoy is a must pick up now that he becomes the starter rest of season. He plays Denver. No, no, no. I'm just, I'm not saying as a streamer this week. I'm saying just in super flex, these guys are going to be picked up, uh, because they're starters now. Colt McCoy, Baker Mayfield, if he was dropped to starters. I don't know how much money it would take me to play Matt Ryan in my fantasy playoffs. It's, it's, uh, you, you're like, I would probably just dip out of the playoffs.

58:02 ↗

It's a spicy Chipotle burrito. You saying you didn't feel like you could put Brock Purdy in there. That's where I was looking at with Matt Ryan. I'm like, oh, man, against Minnesota, it should be good. Whenever you need a midweek announcement to let you know that Matt Ryan's the starter still, that's about as scary as it could get. But I do like Mac Jones against the Raiders. Yeah. I think this offense has been willing to throw the ball, like he wants to throw it down the field. If the running game isn't as good, maybe he gets that chance. Raiders can put up some points. I don't know. It's going to be a very interesting week. I hope that you already have one that you're really comfortable with. Yeah. But you might not. You might have had Kyler. He might have had Lamar. Might have had golf and you're nervous about the Jets. I mean, Jason laid it out. There's not a compelling case as to golf's success against the Jets because the only player that's done remotely well against him in the last.

59:01 ↗

10 games is Josh Allen twice. Because he ran. And as you say, because otherwise it's just, it's a bloodbath. I mean, it's not been doable. But I, dude, these lions, you know, these lions have good weapons. Dude, their offense is tough to stop. I mean, when you've got two good running backs, three great wide receivers, good offensive line, that's what I'm saying. This game is going to be exciting. But I think I'm going to pivot my. My stream to Justin Herbert. So that's going to be who I'm going to roll with in the playoffs. Really? Yeah. Herbert against Tennessee. He's got all his weapons. Because I was thinking about going to my home. Oh, that's a good one too. Mike, can I interest you and Jalen Hertz? Wait. Can I pick him? Yeah. Those are our three streamers. He's only 99.99% roster. So if you check your leagues. You're going to need to drop him first. Then he'll be there. Oh, yeah. If you drop and pick up, that is a waiver pickup. Yep.

59:59 ↗

I streamed him. Like, mental warfare on your opponent. I'm streaming a quarterback against you this week. If you have the most fab, just don't do this. Oh, if you have the most fab and you spend all the fab, you dump your fab to get your guy back as, that's the move. Yeah, just a, it's a real, it is a power move. Until you didn't save your bit properly. You forgot. Oh, no takesie backsies on that one. Risk-reward situation, not good. But yeah, definitely do it. All right, that is going to do it for today's episode of the show. We'll be back tomorrow. Brooks, you got the bye week by about five points. Oh, yeah. See tomorrow, everybody. Goodbye.
