Week 10 Studs & Duds + Monday Punday, Weekend Reactions - Fantasy Football Podcast for 11/15

Was Michael Keaton? Vicki Vale wakes up to the eat, eat, and it's just, and it's just Batman upside down for whatever, what is he doing? They laid that on a little too thick. Like, what is, he's, he's not even doing sit-ups or anything. He's just rocking. He's just upside down. Was he in ankle straps? Yes. What is he doing? He's Batman. I've never thought about it until this point that he's literally doing nothing but hanging upside down.

Dallas Goddard, head injury, left the game, was ruled out, concussion protocol. Baker Mayfield exited with a knee injury. Baker Mayfield is wounded. Yeah. X-ray revealed no structural damage, but, you know, I saw articles this morning about him not being in the long-term future there. They're starting to circle. Jared Goff, oblique injury? Okay. That does. Was that preseason?

No, first quarter, didn't miss any snaps, but wants it known, I guess. 16-16 tie for that game. I'm very injured. My obliques. Colt McCoy suffered a chest injury in the third quarter. Cardinals suffered a didn't show up situation for the whole game. That game was over on the first play. It really was. Ricky Seals Jones, hip injury, Logan Thomas not playing. They had a third string tight end in there.

Big Ben could miss week 11. They say his COVID-19 situation is symptomatic. He is vaccinated, but he's dealing with symptoms. So that could cause him to miss week 11 against the charger, something to monitor during the week. And you don't want him to miss because if he does, Mason Rudolph will have to play football again. Maybe. Maybe they'd put Haskins in. I don't know. After you, look, it was a weathery game. Like it.

It's one of those where it doesn't really show up on TV. When it's zoomed out, you can't see that anything is different. But then once they zoom in, it's pouring, it's really cold, everybody's dropping everything, everybody's fumbling, everything. So it was just, it was a nasty situation for both teams. And then that was today's news and notes brought to you by, I guess the OBJ news. Is that what we have as well? What about it? That he'll be active tonight. Oh, yeah.

They need him to play. They said he might return punts. I just wonder how many, yeah, because they don't have, he's not into the game playing yet. Right. They will have plays. Here's what I would expect if I'm watching the game. When Beckham's on the field, you got a high chance he's getting the football. Because the plays he's out there, they're going to be looking to him. But if I was choosing between Beckham and Van Jefferson tonight, I would play Van Jefferson, which is a little scary because if you design a few plays for Beckham, maybe he makes one of them.

This week's fantasy stud muffins. Well, what do you know? If you are the League MVP Super Bowl winner, greatest to ever play at this point in your career, you figure it out. So 35 for 50, Patrick Mahomes, 406 yards, five touchdowns. That's pretty good.

Yards and five passing touchdowns. Fantastic. Yeah, they destroyed the Raiders defense. You had nine catches for Darrell Williams out of the backfield. Yeah, nine targets for Darrell Williams. Mr. Reed? Mr. Reed, you drafted a pass catching running back in the first round, and I highly doubt he has ever seen nine targets? Mr. Reed?

Do you have a response? We did talk about that this morning a little bit. Ridiculous. Is that you either trust Andy Reid on his evaluation of talent or you don't. And the one thing I'll say about Clyde that does limit him is he is small. I mean, he's a small guy in the NFL trying to, you know, run down the sideline. I don't know. They have made the decision that that's not going to be featured. And that doesn't mean they should, but they haven't. Dak, big game.

Oh, he was my start of the week? Yeah. That was genuinely me rediscovering that fast. We're on the week 11. Josh Allen had a nice game. Mack Jones. I am so. Oh, goodness gracious. I'm so impressed with him. I'm so excited genuinely to watch him play on Thursday night football in the island game. 19 for 23, basically a perfect game. 198, three touchdowns, no picks, 142 pass the rating. We said it last week.

The Patriots are here. They're going to compete with Buffalo for this division. And by golly, I want to see them in the Super Bowl against Tom Brady. There's nothing more in my life other than the Cardinals just winning it. Seeing Belichick versus Brady in another Super Bowl, that would be amazing. That would be great. Mac Jones is clearly off to the best start for the rookie quarterbacks this year. He is so smart.

He does, you know, he was 19 of 23, so he completed almost all his passes. His four missed passes are just smart decisions, like throwaways. Oh, this screen got broken up. Let me drop it at someone's feet. It wasn't like he was bad ever in this game. Yeah, it was very, very impressive. And their schedule, I mean, they play, for the remainder of the season, they do play Tennessee and Buffalo twice. But other than that,

It's nice matchups. I guess the Colts is like a... Oh, that's fine. You never know which Colts is going to... Which Colts team will show up, but their schedule is looking very nice for them to make a playoff run. It kind of begs the question then. Is Mac Jones available as a streamer in certain situations? No. He has two...

finishes as a quarterback one. And other than that, he has finished quarterback 17 or worse. Yeah, he's a pocket passer who looks great. They did both come in the last four weeks, though. And is doing what he needs to do for his team. It certainly is bright fantasy days ahead for Mac Jones. I don't think I'm going to trust it yet because he's not adding stuff on the ground and never will. So you've got to be confident that this is one of those like 35 plus.

touchdown throwing seasons for Mac. And I don't think that type of performance is in the cards in his rookie year. First three touchdown game of his career. Jalen Hertz, 16 for 23, 178 and 2, both to Devante Smith, 19 for 53 on the ground. He joined Kyler Murray, Lamar Jackson, and RG3 as the only quarterbacks with 2,000 passing yards and 500 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns in the first 10 games of a season. He is interesting.

Because, like, not that he's dominating with just overwhelming passing numbers the last few weeks, but he as a quarterback for the past, you know, three or four weeks has looked like he's, he's improving. He is definitely getting better and lost in the shuffle of, you know, the Jalen Hertz. Is he going to get benched? Is he not going to get benched? This is his actual, basically his rookie year. He got in for, what, four games last year. And it's.

So it's nice to see the improvement that he's making some strides here while Philadelphia is fully loaded with draft capital. I'm not sure. By the time we get to the end of the season, I'm not sure that they're going to make a change or not. Yeah, and Andy and I were saying this when the game was happening was that this was the first game that you could say Jalen Hertz looked like a good quarterback and was good for fantasy. He finally put them both together at the same time. You're right.

And after the buy, Washington, the Giants, and Washington for the three playoff weeks. Washington just lost Chase Young for the season, which is awful. But for Jayland Hertz's fantasy schedule, that's gourmet. Yes. Yeah, he'll be a, he might be someone you want to try and trade for, even though you probably have to trade high for him at this point. Yeah.

You know what else is gourmet? Omaha Steaks, baby. Look, it's that time of year where you're wondering what to get for the holidays. You want to be the superstar.

A.J. Villan himself, by way of an injury to Aaron Jones, ended up 21 for 66, two touchdowns. He had two catches, but 62 receiving yards. He had like a 50-yard reception where he was just a big man tiptoed down the sideline. It was outrageous. It was, it's really hard to tackle him. It's going to get harder. Yes. I mean, there is an imp, there's a Yeti spot available.

The Yeti is out for the year. On Sunday Live, I was trying out, I was trying out abominable, the abominable A.J. Dylan. Because he can't be the Yeti as well. But he's in the family. Okay. He'll be up in the snow. Look. Now you see why that joke works is because it smells. Now, he's going to be one of the most important pickups of the week for the leagues where he is available.

You know, we've talked about, you've talked specifically, Mike, about the fact that, like, yeah, he's someone that maybe you can't play. And I'm sure he was started in very few leagues for this great game this last week. Oh, he was started against me. Of course he was. Goodness gracious, Mike, you're lucky. Oh, but I mean, also, you know, Patrick Mahomes, who has sucked for a month. Come on, man. But he.

So Dylan, Dylan's going to probably have the backfield to himself this next weekend. Yeah, and he's a special talent where when you've got a guy, it's not just a backup coming in. You know, it's not Somaget P. Rine getting the work when Joe Mixit goes down. It's a highly drafted, very talented back, who's on a good offense. So very important. Nice game. Ramandre Stevenson ended up getting the start. Damien Harris was not active from the concussion. Stevenson came back. 20 for 100.

Nice and even, five a carry, two touchdowns, five targets played 55% of snaps. It does, it's really difficult because we know how hard it is to project the backfield in New England in general. And then you have, you know, Damien Harris is going to return. He's probably the better peer runner right now in this stage of his career, but Stevenson is very good as well. Stevenson's been impressive in the passing game, but then Bolden gets involved there.

So it's like when Harris is back, who do you start in a half PPR? Harris. I think when Harris comes back, he's going to be the starter. But it is kind of a shame. I think Harris will, you know, should have his workload eaten into a little bit. And obviously the past catching work is not Harris is. So, man, it would be really nice if one of these guys just retired.
