The supposed series-ending Megalodon has generated a large giveaway response. A host asks Brooks when the winners will be announced; Brooks answers 'Tomorrow' off camera, and the desk says he is still sifting through many tweets. Near the close, the hosts also order Brooks to remove Isaiah Likely from the dud list, but no second reply or booth cut appears.
Foot Clan Instagram and X reactions become a rapid list including Pat Firemuth, infinity and Bijian, three Kyren Williams variants, Yalen Hertz, Jonathan Taylor touchdowns, Rice Rice Baby, Dalton Schultz the Bed, Poop Nacua, Gus Bust, Doodoo Metcalf, Lames Conner, and Sequin Barfley. The published monitor visibly reads MONDAY PUNDAY while the hosts remain normally dressed.
After Andy's Dak-CeeDee opening, Jason concedes, changes his Slack avatar to GONE with a skull, travels north, and unplugs. He says he covered himself in honey and ran through the woods hoping for a bear, but the bears were hibernating and uninterested in losers. He also forgets his planned Gabe Davis-for-Josh Downs switch, concedes again while down 30, nearly wins through Jalen Hurts, and finally loses to Andy by five while Davis remains on the bench. Andy credits a peer-reviewed refusal to watch Jason's players, and both managers still appear playoff-bound.
Cooper Kupp's active-but-untrustworthy status makes the hosts ask how someone can play and not play him at once. Their solution is a fantasy league devoted entirely to mental peace: cut every difficult player and make the decision somebody else's problem.
Jason begins sympathizing with Arthur Smith, so the desk verifies that Kyle is on microphone and introduces him as a lifelong, born-and-bred, bleed-Falcons-red fan. Kyle answers 'I am,' calls Jason's optimism refreshing, notes Atlanta leads the division below .500, and says using the best players has always been one of his keys. Direct one-second video stays exclusively on the three hosts.
Jason says accepting Mike's Michael Pittman trade and starting Pittman over Josh Downs would have beaten Andy. A verified full-frame Pittman City/Pity City package erupts over the live desk with Pittman in Colts uniform, three rainbow-glasses host cutouts, crown/antler headwear, a bottle, fireworks, shattered glass, and an upside-down owl-bodied human figure. The desk then says Mike tracks every rejected Pittman offer and the chosen alternatives so he can dunk on multiple managers, perhaps paying more attention to the vindictive ledger than his own team.
The hosts write the back of Gabe Davis's mock company card: he is a great blocker whose company tagline is 'Enjoy these bench points,' followed by a goose when inserted into a lineup. Jason then forgets to start Davis for the 105-yard touchdown that could have won his matchup, and the desk calls Davis's bye week the favorite and happiest week to roster him.
Complete video review shows Andy at left in an aqua T-shirt and dark cap with teal brim, Jason centered in a black T-shirt, black cap, and black-framed glasses, and Mike at right in a white T-shirt and purple/orange Valley cap. No fourth desk occupant or live producer-booth cut appears. The prerecorded WITH THE DUCERS card labels Brooks/Judge Giamatti, Jeremy/Owl Borland, and Kyle/The Borgogon. The Megalodon giveaway advances when a host asks Brooks when winners will be announced; Brooks answers 'Tomorrow' off camera, and the hosts say he is still sifting a large tweet response. Late in the show they direct Brooks to remove Isaiah Likely from the dud list, without a cutaway or distinct reply. This is Megalodon giveaway follow-through, not Megalabowl or Listener League information. Monday Punday turns Foot Clan Instagram/X reactions into Pat Firemuth, infinity and Bijian, Kyren Thrilliams/I Win Williams/Kai Win Williams, Yalen Hertz, Jonathan Taylor touchdowns, Rice Rice Baby, George Little, Dalton Schultz the Bed, Poop Nacua, Gus Bust, Doodoo Metcalf, Lames Conner, and Sequin Barfley. Jason concedes after Andy's Dak-CeeDee start, changes his Slack avatar to GONE with a skull, leaves for a northern cabin, slathers himself in honey to be eaten by a bear, and finds the bears hibernating and uninterested in losers. He had planned to replace Josh Downs with Gabe Davis, forgot while unplugged, then watched Jalen Hurts revive the matchup after a second concession. Andy responds with a peer-reviewed superstition of not watching Jason's remaining players and wins by five while Davis's points remain on Jason's bench; both managers still appear playoff-bound. The desk turns Cooper Kupp's impossible start/bench choice into a mental-peace league where managers cut every hard decision. Kyle is placed on microphone as a lifelong, born-and-bred, bleed-Falcons-red fan and calls Jason's Arthur Smith optimism refreshing; one-second video remains on the three hosts, confirming Kyle as an off-camera voice. Jason later admits Mike's rejected Michael Pittman trade would have won the matchup. A verified full-frame Pittman City/Pity City composite then overlays the desk with Michael Pittman in Colts uniform, three host cutouts wearing rainbow glasses, crown/antler headwear, a bottle, fireworks and shattered-glass effects, and an upside-down owl-bodied human figure. It is a produced graphic, not live attire or a Jeremy appearance. The hosts reveal that Mike tracks every team that rejected his Pittman offers to see whether the chosen alternative lost, just so he can dunk on them. No Jay Griz name, voice, image, cardboard cutout, theme, sound cue, fill-in, or fourth seat occurs. Jason's wild-bear story and the standard opening's generic black bear are explicitly distinct from Jay Griz.

Don't miss a minute. Make sure you click that subscribe button and enjoy. To the fantasy footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Oh, welcome in. Contrary to popular opinion.
The Megalodon episode was not our final episode. That was the popular opinion. It did seem that way this morning. Yeah, there was a, there was a consensus out there that it was just that. Well, it was at least they thought it was Jason's last show. Ah. Once they saw the final box score of our head to head match up. Nope. We continue. We chug along. Yes. And still still go for victories. Thoughts on Gabe Davis in general. Just like general overview. Right the back of his football card. What a blocker. What a blocker. Yeah, that was highlighted on the broadcast. Enjoy these bench points. That would be the other tagline for his company like Gabe Davis LLC is. Enjoy these bench points. Enjoy. Enjoy. And if you put them in your lineup next week. Oh, enjoy the goose. Enjoy the goose. Really wild weekend. We had fantasy football drama internally all over the place.
had big fights in dynasty leagues about tanking and starting the out players and, you know, the only thing that grown men can fight about. Well, you know, one of them. Very, I mean. We're off of Thanksgiving. We know plenty of things we can fight about. So, yeah, it was wild. Turns out Cameron Williams is fine. Yeah. Yeah, he's healthy. Seems healthy. I want to always come back from injuries against the Cardinals. Like, that's kind of my, like, if I get injured, I'm going to look at the schedule and be like, uh, yeah, uh, week 18. I'm coming back. Did, did Cameron time that out? Like his injury wasn't that bad and he was just. For sure. And he was just tired. He's like, hey, guys, you know, if you put me on IR, I can come back against Cardinals. I'll be super healthy. Guys, rest me up. It was, uh, it was definitely a weekend where I, at least I felt like the matchups. Like, it, it kind of came true. You know what I mean? Like sometimes, you know, we sit here and.
players are ranked based on these matchups and sometimes they overcome them and sometimes they don't like this week it just felt like if you had a great matchup that looked good on paper there were a lot of players that performed up to those expectations suds and duds on today's show and um yeah brooks you mentioned uh the megaladone episode we have giveaway winners uh when are we announcing those tomorrow tomorrow okay brooks is still sifting through the tweets So many. So many tweets. So busy weekend, we always ask the Foot Clan on Instagram, which you can follow us over there. Instagram.com slash fancy footballers. Also on X at the FF Ballers. We asked for your reactions in pun form. And we got them. That's the best form. I guess we'll start with Pat.
Fire Muth. Oh, the man, the Muth, the legend. He, in fact, got Luth. Uh, we got Ramanre Stevenson. To infinity, and Bijian. Uh, you had Kyran Thrilliams. Or I win Williams. Or Kai Win Williams. It's really a self. Who put I win Williams in here? Uh, I love this player. How about Yalen Hertz? Jonathan Taylor touchdowns. Or, uh, rice, rice baby. Too cold. Or there was some bad with George Little. Or Dalton Schultz the bed. Or poop Nakuha. Beep, it's the Gus bust. There's also a subparer performance from Doodoo Metcalf. And Lames Connor. And finally, Sequin Barfley.
Yeah, that was one of those, uh, hmm, not so good. Not so good. The man can only do so much. It was a weird week. Uh, for those tracking at home, because, uh, the tweets were wild. I went into last night's game, what Jason had kind of conceded defeat on Thursday because Dacken. DAC and CD land. We haven't talked because we haven't had a show since then. That's right. We're usually up to date, but the DAC and CD went off. Yeah. Had 40 points in our league while my tight end. Yeah. Is Dax recipient got one reception? So we thought, we thought it was kind of, Jason. It was a big reception, Jason. Don't take that away from. Jason are already made his fantasy points. Made his bed. Yeah. I mean, I assumed I was toast then. Yeah, you, you changed your avatar in our Slack channel to.
The word gone. Yeah. And with a, with a skull. A nice skull. And then I did gone. I got out of town, went up north, kind of tried to unplug. Tried to be eaten by a bear. Tried to be eaten by a bear. Slathered myself up in honey. Ran around the woods. No bears to be found. They're hybridated. When you want to be eaten and you can't be eaten, can you? Well, bears not interested in losers. It's an embarrassing walk back to the cabin. What's a real shame is I had mentioned, I believe, on the Megalodon episode that. If things went really poorly on Thanksgiving, then that would be the example. I would take Josh Dobbs, Josh Downs out of my lineup, put Gabe Davis in my lineup so that I have more big boom opportunity. So that came true. Thursday I dominated. And then I got out of town. Forgot to do that as I unplugged. And, well, the rest of the week went like a roller coaster. There was one point in time where towards the.
Halfway, half time of yesterday's pre-S Sunday night game, which became Sunday night football. It was so late that Bill's Eagles game was unbelievable. It took forever. It was a great game, but it took forever. I thought it was Sunday night football. It was like, it was pitch black out here. Yeah. And then, you know, Jalen Hertz, my guy had six points at halftime and all of Andy's players were doing well at halftime. I was projected to lose by 30. This is. You know, the night's over. We don't even have anybody playing on Monday, so I concede the game. And then Jalen Hertz went off. Devante Adams no longer gets targets in the second half. James Connor does nothing in the second half. Where in the world? It looks like I'm going to win, brother. I mean, I am, all I need is 12 points from Echler in Sunday night football. That's it. This was the point in time where I drove home very upset. I put into my plan. Oh, man.
I put into my plan the scientific approach of not watching your opponent's players. Dude, I mean, and I did not watch. Tried, Trude, delivered. I sat outside by the fire. It's peer reviewed now. And I contemplated my life choices and my career choices. Get a science journal. I would keep your career, Andy, because you won Austin Echler, which I'm very sad, did not have a negative pun today. I would have really enjoyed that. But, uh, awful excrement. That's nice. I like that. I got to do that to Austin. See, it feels bad, but also the fumbles probably felt bad too. The fumbles, the lack of work in the past the game, the touchdowns and drops. You know. So I won by five. You did win by five. And Gabe Davis was on my bench. And Gabe Davis was on your bench. And that was, there's your update. Mike's just sitting over there alternating between which of us he thinks is more pathetic in our approach to fantasy. Oh, your head to head. Don't worry.
I think you guys. I've got good competition, right? I'm not just you guys. It's not just you. You can cross the finish line together. So this is a cliff. We're going over the cliff. Now last thing of personal league before we move on to the week is as it stands now, it looks like both of us are actually still in the playoffs. Yeah. So all all the whining was just not worth it. So well still still a couple weeks to go. So we have more. You got more weeks. Yeah. So there you go. There's your update. There's your puns. I mean, I asked the question this morning because we got some news that we'll talk about as well. But how much money is Austin Eckler losing right now? Because he's going to be a free agent. He's going to be retired. Is that? I mean, do you genuinely believe that? It really depends. He seems like he is a hurt. Like he's playing through injury. I think it depends on.
on Austin himself, the human, whether he wants to take a lower salaried veteran type thing to go be a committee back. If that's what he wants, he'll get an offer with that. It seems like very unlikely that a team would go out and based on his great, incredible career at this stage, age, and running back financial landscape that they're going to go, hey, here's a nice big, bada boom, three-year contract. Like, it's just not going to happen. To be a starter. Yeah, no, that. He's still, this Austin Eccler is way better than Michael Carter. This Austin Eccler is way better than a bunch of the third downbacks that get snaps here and there. If, like you said, he's willing to accept that. But from dynasty perspective, did we get the cliff? Yeah, I mean, he's one of the, you know, our main league is a keeper league. He is one of my keepers from this last season. And I'm not sure if he's going in that lottery or not. I mean, we don't know who he plays for next year.
That was the crazy part. Our entire matchup maybe came down to the back and forth Eckler-Saqwan situation. Both players stunk this week. Mike, how'd you do? You have a good week? Personally? Yeah, no, professionally. No. Professionally, we did all right. Yeah. Yeah, starts the week. Yeah, they did all right. Yeah, pretty nice. So we got big news to talk about. Yeah. News and notes from around the league. Presented by USAA Insurance. Well, the big news this morning, the Panthers fired head coach Frank Wright. Carolina is one in 10. Their owner, David Tapper, has now fired three head coaches, including two midseason. Yeah, back to back years. That midseason back to back years is impressive. It really is. And this really seems like when it happens after the game, to me that's like, you know, that's angry man walking into a room. Mm-hmm.
That's very reactionary. And so you've seen at least two years where that's happened after losses. There's a lot of excitement when David Tepper took over this franchise in 2018. This is someone that's going to come in, wants to spend money, wants to be aggressive, things that I think fan base is really, really like. The thing that I think the fan base is starting to get upset about is the tinkering, the toy that, you know, like you want to. David Timper? You want himself a temper. Got him. You want the owner that will be aggressive, that will pay write the blank checks, all that.
But you also want them to not meddle. And you want them to let the football people do football things. And have patience. Yeah, have a little bit of patience. So it's interesting. I'm sure Jeff Saturday is calling up Tepper now. I mean, like, look, last year I took over. The Colts are doing good. Sounds like you got a leadership problem. These men need a leader. It is. I mean, if you really look at the situation and we can talk about Bryce Young's dynasty, we can talk about the mess of wide receivers that they have, the offensive line problems. It seems like if you say something negative this week about Bryce Young or about Tyler Murray, all I get is they have no help, they have no align, they have no blah, blah, blah. I am curious what the expectations could have been for Carolina at this stage of, you know, you got 11 games played. You have a rookie quarterback. You have definitely got a support issue around him. Like.
Is David Tepper happy at 3 and 7? I mean, I just don't know where it seems like unfair expectations for Frank Reich to a degree. I think it's not a matter of the record, to be honest. I think it's a matter of what you're seeing on the field. And what you're seeing on the field is truly horrific. Like uncompetitive, they are as bad as any team, you know, gets. They put up 10 points against the Titans when they had. opportunities all game and they just they couldn't do anything and that's pretty much what they've done the whole season and your boy mike adam theelin not not a lot of opportunities man you're grandpa so frank rike is out um yeah there you go also i mean honestly this is it's irrelevant news to me for the assets of fantasy i mean right now it's it's hard to even feel comfortable starting adam feeling he's been the only
potential starter for fantasy here going forward you know TBD on who they're going to hire they're just going to have an interim and then in the off season they'll find someone that hopefully can fix price young the way that we saw with Trevor Lawrence you know he had a rookie season that was really bad with urban Meyer and they said hey we got to go find the right person make the move quick and resurrect that the hope of that you know first overall draft pick he's Seems to be, though, a delightful boss. Like, I would. Tepper? Yeah. Right? Uh, yeah. No. I mean, uh, I guess you better produce. Frank Reich was 10 and 1. He never would have been fired. Uh, Mark Andrews on IR. Yeah. Aaron Rogers could begin practicing next week, still targeting a week 16 return. Why? Oh, I remember why now. Oh, okay. Because it's about him.
When I said he wouldn't come back, I thought he'd be putting, like, the team in 2024, like in first place. But now he gets to go and be, like, to me, this is, isn't it about the headline now? You came back super quick? What week is he targeting? 16. Allegedly. Well, of course, it's going to be week 16, not 17. You want to come back against the manders or the Browns? This is another target the right matchup. Right. I don't get it. Tim Boyle, though, he's going to keep starting. Huh? I told you, I don't think Robert Sale is the guy, man. David Tepper needs to get in there quick. See, I think I don't blame Robert Salon. Really? I like him a lot. I think he's a good coach. I've turned on him. No. Describe that for me because I don't know how this is his fault. He's got, you know, he's a defensive-minded head coach who has his defense being top three. No, I know. You've got a great defense. I get it. But you have no.
quarterback, you've been given no quarterback. The general manager needs to be fired here for not going out and trading for a Josh Dobbs or a signing a Carson Wentz off the straighter, doing something early in the season. I mean, he's not the only one to blame by any stretch of the imagination. He's also been dealt, you know, the injury card this year. But you have lost your locker room two years in a row. I mean, you, but what could he have done? He could have made, he could have made, pivoted to Tim Boyle earlier. He could not have done anything. He could have made changes earlier, yeah. Not last year. You can't, you can't take the number two overall pick and just be like, okay, we're already done with you in the middle of the season. But that would have been the better move because he lost the locker room and they had to do it by default. Like both seasons, he's waited too long to make changes. And, um,
You know, I don't think he's made good decisions from a head coaching perspective on this team. And what is going on with Trevor Simeon? Right. He must have lost his right arm. Like he has to have. Because if you're sitting here watching Tim Boyle, I mean, there's a reason that you didn't move off of Zach Wilson. It was because the backup was Tim Boyle. But Trevor Simeon's been on the practice squad and that guy can actually play football. The beat reporters. At one time he could. Yeah. I mean, that's why I'm saying he must have lost his arm. Because if they're saying, hey,
We're sticking with Tim Boyle. They must be seeing something bad. There is some, there's some accountability to, like, I don't know what happens behind the scenes. But everything that Robert Sala has done for two years is he goes out there and goes to bat for Zach Wilson for X amount of weeks. He's accountable for that. If you go and you go to the general manager and say, this guy doesn't have it in week two when you've seen him last year. Isn't that an evaluation standpoint? You're in practice every day. Like, this guy doesn't have a go get me Carson Wins. This guy doesn't have a go get me Jacoby Brissette. This guy doesn't have a go get. I mean, they spent the money on Aaron Rogers and other pieces. So that's the part that I hold him accountable. Yeah, 100% you're right there. We just don't know that that didn't happen. You know what I mean? We don't know that publicly he's not saying, hey, we support Zach Wilson. He's a great guy. We think we see a lot we like. And then behind the scenes going like, get me someone that can play quarterback.
Yeah, I mean, I feel bad for Jets fans. I really do. Yeah, the window of such a great defense is like those things just don't last forever. We saw it years ago with the Jacksonville Jaguars when they had that unfathomably otherworldly defense. And you thought that would just stick around. And then the next year you wait too long and they're just not good at defense anymore. Maybe maybe that's why Rogers needs to come back. If you want to give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe to invigorate. a team and a fan base and give them hope for the next year. Yeah. I don't know. Or you get hurt again and that'd be a long summer. Oh, man. A bunch of injuries yesterday. Chris Olava exited with a concussion. Rashid Shaheed left early. That blew up some DFS for me that Rashid injury because he was, he was cheap. Yeah, and Olave was dominating. Yeah, he had a good game even with the exit. Yeah, 40. He played less than half of the game.
And he ended seven for 114 and then went up for a, I mean, a really bad throw and ended up landing on his head. Almarie Cooper exited with a rib injury late. That didn't look good. Dorian Thompson, concussion. PJ Walker came in. He looked exactly the same as who he is. Yeah, it's probably Joe Flacco time. Giovante Williams left and returned. Same with E.T.N. and Baker Mayfield and then Cooper Cup. What do you do with Cooper Cup right now? I don't know, man. Well, it wasn't just Cup. I mean, both Cooper Cup and Pook and Akua had down games. I think you combined for about 40 yards receiving or something? But Stafford had a down game too. No. What?
That's the point. Oh, he's being sarcastic. That is the point. How does Stafford, how do the Rams put up 37 points? I mean, yes, Kyron Williams, what? Higby got two touchdowns. Exactly. What are you doing to us, Matthew? It was mean. It was unfortunate that it happened that way. Obviously, Stafford ended up with the top 10 performance had four passing touchdowns. They just didn't go to the right players. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. But it's. like legitimately. But it's been a little bit. It's been a lot of it. It's been a lot of bit. Yeah, I'm looking at the box score right now. Cooper Cup came back in week five. All was well, 118 yards, the next week against Arizona, 148 and a touchdown. But since then, 29 yards, 21, those were both fully healthy games. Well, not for Stafford. Week 8. Stafford left in the middle of the game in the week 90 months. I'm just reading Cooper Cups numbers. The week after that was two for 48.
84% of the game. So most of the game, that's maybe he could have fixed it at the very end. And then another hurt game with 11 yards. And now another full game with 18 yards. Well, I don't know what you do. You were on Sunday live on YouTube. I was in here listening and you gave the same advice that I would have given in your shoes, which is that when Cooper Cup is active and you're facing Arizona. Yeah, I'm playing. Like you have both sides of the coin here. You have the side where you're like, okay, Kyron Williams is back from injury, just put the faith in the matchup off of an injury, and he's the best player on the week. Then you have Cooper Cup, who's one of the best receivers in football, if not the best, and coming off an injury, and you put the faith in the matchup, and it doesn't work out. And your quarterback had 229 yards and four passing touchdowns. And now you go, now you're playing against the Cleveland Browns. And so how do you have the confidence in Cooper Cup?
having had a bad month and a half partially with injury, but he's still dealing with it. We saw him go out and into the game. Well, and they play Cleveland, Baltimore? Yeah, that's what I mean. How are you going to be able to be confident starting him? And how do you bench him? Well, I mean, I think. I mean, it's just an impossible situation. I mean, you're going to have to make. How do you play him? How do you not play him? Yeah. Can you half play? I think you just, you just cut him. I don't know. I can't handle this. This is your decision now. I like the idea of having a fantasy football league where it is all about the like mental peace of mind. Yeah. You just get rid of the most difficult decisions you have. You just cut them off the team. You just play the most pedestrian. You're someone else's problem. Yeah, exactly. All right. That was today's news and notes presented by USAA Insurance.

We're going to take a quick break and get into the studs and duds. You got my head spinning with that whole, I mean, what if you had a league where if someone gets injured, they have to be dropped? Oh, man, that's not fair. All right, let's walk through this week, see what we got going forward. Studs of the Week, presented by NFL Sunday ticket on YouTube and YouTube TV. Well, let's start with the game of the week. I mean, the Josh Jell and Jalen Hurts head-to-head matchup. It was... Absolutely incredible. Field Yates put it out there on Sunday. Jalen Hertz and Josh Allen became the first opposing quarterbacks in NFL history to have multiple passing touchdowns and multiple rushing touchdowns in the same game. Josh Allen was a monster. I mean, 29 for 51, 339 and 2, 2 rushing touchdowns, 81 yards in the ground. This game had a 48.5 point over under. And when you got to halftime, you're like, that was toast. You're like, what is?
Like all the hopes, all the dreams, all the expectations, all the DFS, all the, you know, everything. Everything was super disappointing. And there was a reason for it. You had awful weather. You know, this was a rainy game where it didn't seem like anything was going to click. And you saw this the previous week with the Eagles and Kansas City. You had Mahomes versus Jalen Hertz in a weather, rainy game. And it just never, you know, at the end of that game, you were still pretty disappointed. So this one was. Not one you saw the second half and overtime going the way it did, but it was pretty awesome for fantasy, considering Dak Prescott threw for 331 and four touchdowns, and he's the quarterback three on the week. Yeah, I mean, Jalen Hertz, 18 for 31, 200 yards passing, three touchdowns, 14 for 65, two on the ground, including the game winner. We're sitting in here watching it yesterday. Mike and I were both facing Jalen Hertz going, it's like, no, it did not hurt so good. It hurts so bad.
I mean, it depends on which side of the game. And we're watching this game, and it's like everything that you, if you wanted something to happen in Jalen Hurts' favor, it was happening. I mean, he was making third and longs converting them. He was scrambling. And he didn't look himself scrambling. Like his knee is clearly bothering him and it didn't matter. And, you know, I was telling Mike in the middle of that game, I'm like, dude, if they kick a field goal here, they're going to lose this game. Talking about the overtime. Bills in overtime, which now Josh Allen is 0 and 5 in overtime since the rules have changed. What a loser. In his favor. Or because of that game where he did not get the opportunity after the field goal to go down and win the game. And that loser, Dak Prescott, like you said, third this week. Mike started the week 331 and 4 on Thanksgiving. It was a great performance. Top three quarterback.
in five of the last six starts. There's no one in fantasy who's been more valuable than Dak Prescott. I tweeted, Mike, I don't know if you saw it. I did. I gave you a heart. I appreciated it. I tweeted you some credit. That second half sleeper, Dak Prescott. I mean, look at the matchups coming up. Oh, yeah. Seattle. Yes, please. Philadelphia. Yeah. Buffalo. Do yes? I mean. Miami. Keep going Detroit. That's the entire season. There's no, there's no matchup that is like a neutral matchup. They're all. positive for the quarterback. I remember at the trade deadline, Mike tried to send me like to a for cheap. And I was like, why? I'm just playing DAC every game. I'm like, I'm not touching somebody else. CJ Stroud, he's on, like I have my list of players I don't like watching and I tweet that weekly. And Mac Jones took his rightful place on the top of that throne. Bryce Young, though, making his first appearance. Well, not that it should have been his first, but there were other players. I mean, Derek Carr looked pretty terrible yesterday too.
But at the top of the players, I want to watch play football on every down, C.J. Stroud. C.J. Stroud, another 300-yard game. Two more touchdowns, one rushing touchdown. Just barely, and I mean barely, failed to come back in this game because a 60-yard field goal went off the center, the upright. He's the quarterback four in fantasy since week three. And you watch what happens in their line. Like he'll move around. He just moves around until somebody comes open. It's the most Mahomesian kind of quarterback play I've seen in a while, if I'm honest. Like he does not look to run. He looks to take time until one of his very talented receivers breaks open, which they always do. And when I was scouting him for the NFL draft season, the superpower that I thought he had is I've never seen someone more accurate on the move. When he is running, scrambling, not like.
