MEGALODON Episode - Week 12 Matchups, Starts, Turkey Day Awards & More! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 11/24

thought, let's bring in the vet and see what he's got. And then they saw what he got. And they said, let's go with the guys who have more juice. I put Deontiformin as the main back that I would want here. He looks decent. I'd rather have Hilliard. And that's fine because of the past catching work especially. Mick Nichols is still around. Like the only reason that Hilliard got in last week is because Jeremy McNickles wasn't concussion protocol. Had that never happened, those 10 targets probably go to McNichols.

Having said that, do you feel like Hilliard's performance was enough to push him a little bit ahead? If McNichols is out, I'd prefer Hilliard. Okay. Yeah, I guess if I'm going straight runner, then it's going to be foreman. Yeah. Marcus Johnson. Injured reserve for the hamstring injury, so the Titans then signed Golden Tate to the practice squad.

So when you're looking, like we had a waiver show yesterday. We didn't really talk about, we talked about Westbrook Akeen. How do you pronounce it? Westbrook Akeen Akeen, not Akeen. Yep. But we didn't mention Chester Rogers is there too and could get, you talk about 10 targets going to Dantrell Hilliard. There are targets to go around there. We joked about the fact that Patriots just won't know who your number one is because it's all number four options. So that's what's going on with Tennessee. I'd be avoiding.

Most Tennessee. Tennessee players. This news is here for one reason. The 49ers have signed veteran wide receiver Devon Funches to the practice squad. And we brought that back and it's, thank you. Thank you. Thank you, 49ers. Kareem Hunt has been designated to return from injured reserve. He can now practice. He has to be activated to.

play it's a bit complicated if we don't get the news right away but i think they have to do it by saturday so i think it's like saturday at one o'clock or something like that believe so yes the cleveland baltimore game sunday night right now the indications to me are that he's going to play yeah you i mean the majority of time not certainly not always but the majority of time when guys have been activated for that 21 day window

It's because they're ready to go back into the lineup and play. They don't usually need the 21 days. So I expect him to play. But we will know before Sunday morning. Logan Thomas was also designated to return. Could be a big boost to the Washington offense. To get him back, he is extremely necessary. Who was Mr. Necessary of Days of Old? Charles Clay. Yeah. Logan Thomas is so important to this offense.

No confidence personally with Curtis Samuel's return to be impactful, but I know Logan Thomas will be impactful. Yeah, I mean, this is not just huge news for the Washington football team, but huge news for fantasy because there are plenty of teams out there that are playoff bound or at least in the running who don't have the tight end position locked down. And Logan Thomas looked great. And then the role that he has inherited, keep in mind they paid him a lot of money.

has gone to one dude at all times. Ricky Seals Jones just took that spot and was used and was relevant for fantasy and he's not as good as Logan Thomas. When Logan Thomas comes back, he's just going into that full-time role and will be, you know, I feel like a weekly top five start. I agree. And I do plan on inheriting a number of roles on Thanksgiving Day. Oh, yeah. So much dinner butter. Dinner butter? Dinner rolls. Is that different than lunch butter?

Oh, dinner butter is way different. Dinner butter is always whipped. It's, you know. Dinner butter is a step-offs. Left. Oh, yeah. You don't want lunch butter. You ever have breakfast butter? Breakfast butter is cold and hard. It's dumb. Oh, wow. Really? No. I, no. This is all just made up because I said dinner butter. But I love me some rolls. And that's the best. We need to focus there. Alvin Camero, Mark, Ingram, both listed as non-participants on Tuesday.

That was another estimated practice report. They're both very questionable for this game. Tony. Tony. Tony. Tony. It might be more time Montgomery than it is even Tony. I mean. Tony. Tony. Tony Brooks. James Jones Jr. I think that Alvin Camara Mark Ingram will both play. Really? I do. I think that they might both be out there. And I think it might be a really, really uncomfortable. Because they play the bills, right? So that is going to be.

A bit uncomfortable. Yeah, this would be a volume play. Ty Montgomery did practice in full on Tuesday, but he is coming back from the, if you remember, he very much dislocated a finger about a week ago. So, okay. Just something to watch. Yeah, I mean, the useful thing is if Camara and Ingram are out, are you playing Tony Jones against the Bills? If they are both out, I think Tony Jones becomes a break glass in an emergency volume play. I agree. Over Devante Freeman?

I'm sorry, not Devons of Freeman. Deontay Foreman? Yeah, I think they're both bad matchups. I would be more confident in the workload for Jones. Yeah, I did. Man, I think I go Foreman there, but that's, I agree that he's, he's definitely in volume consideration if the other two were out. We will keep you out today with C.D. Lamb. Right now he is DNP on Tuesday, not unexpected. There's a lot of optimism that C.D. Lamb can go on Thanksgiving.

It would kind of bump Sederick Wilson out of starting consideration, but maybe not completely for the Cowboys. But if Lamb is out there, him and Gallup should get it done. So hopefully he's out there. Make Thanksgiving better. Jared Goff, this is outstanding. I'm so thankful for this news. Dan Campbell's a heck of a guy. He's a lovable goof. I mean, Guns Mahoney, thank you. He's considered...

Goff considers himself a game day decision. Dan Campbell first came out and said that he's leaning towards starting him and then said, quote, and I am quoting, it's 60% that Goff starts leaning towards 50-50. So what in the heck does that mean? It means that there's a 60% chance he plays.

But that 60 is actually much closer to 50. To me, I could take that as like it was 60, but we're leaning 50-50. That's worse. It was 60 when I started this sentence, but now it's closer to 50. Honestly, why don't we just split the difference here? We do what we want today. Maybe he forgot the rules of rounding. 60% of the time it works. I don't know which way to go. There are no fantasy implications of any kind to Jared Gov versus Boyle. It doesn't change that you want to play the bear's defense.

It doesn't. Maybe it upgrades Jamal or something. To me, I'm like I, Swift is in your line, no matter what. Swift is in no matter what. Swift is in no matter what. But that's the one. Like I've got Hawkinson. I'm like, I would prefer Jared golf. Did you see this morning our, our tight end battle of the year that Hawkinson and Pitts? Oh, yes. Hawkinson and Pitts through 11 weeks, Mike. Did you see this? No, hit me. They're both averaging exactly 9.1 fantasy points per game. Yeah.

So there are, I looked at them. I'm the winner. No, I'm the winner. Yeah, so that's pretty funny. The Giants fired Jason Garrett. So thank you for doing that. Yeah. Is there like a three strikes you're out on the retread market? I mean, what is the, what's the story about like? Jason Garrett had his time. Like he had a very successful run.

Well, you know, whatever. A successful run as a head coach. The NFL has moved past Jason Garrett's ideals and philosophies. We're beyond Garrett. Yes. So, thank you for, we appreciate you, Jason Garrett, but don't come back. Did you see what Des Bryant tweeted? No. Des Bryant, you know, former player superstar for Jason Garrett. He said, he tweeted after hearing the news about J.G. Jason Garrett, new line.

Cadarius, Tony, you will get to experience the love and joy of football throughout your career. Oh, my goodness. Get body into the body bag. You go. I think Des Bryant has gone from attempting to play football again to being a social media. Oh, yeah. He's a full NFT guy. Yeah. What up. And bodying various people. But Giants fans. It is good. Don't never fear. Jason Garrett is out. Freddie Kitchens is up.

Yeah, Freddy Kitchens. Freddie Kitchens plays a specific role on your franchise, which is not to be your leader, but to be somebody transition to when you fire somebody. That's what he should do. All right. There will be an Injury Blitz podcast. Brooksie. Is that still Friday? Yes, sir. Okay. And the Foot Clan Game Day alerts will be there Sunday. Join the foot.com for all that.

That you need. Never not working. Presented by Head and Shoulders, Scamp Shield Technology, available at Walmart. I'm so thankful for this segment today, which I'm thankful every week for this segment, but this one forced our hand at looking at something very important that sometimes takes a little bit of effort to do, and we'll just give it to you with no effort needed. So we'll do the working. Yes. Because we're never not.

Yeah, some people on our staff are never not working. But we want to work a little harder, guarantee success. That's the extra thing that you need to do to win. And we're looking at dynasty leagues today. We're looking at dynasty leagues and the implications of free agency, namely which players are going to be unrestricted free agents at the end of the year. Trade deadlines have either hit or are hitting soon. Yeah, they are about to hit for most dynasty leagues. And so the timing of this, I love it. This is where you try.

You throw out that line. You go, you buy your scratchers of these players are going to see new scenarios and their value could skyrocket. If they find a new home. In terms of dynasty value, yeah. So I'm not sure where we want to go here, but I'll start with the running back position. You know, one of the shifting back fields is going to be Arizona. James Connor and Chase Edmonds will both be unrestricted free agents. One could come back to Arizona.

I think the team loves James Connor. Seems like it. And, you know, Edmins has had trouble. I doubt both come back, to be honest with you, but it's possible. But that's a scenario where you could roll the dice. The Tampa Bay running back situation is the same with Leonard Four Nets and Unrestrictive Free Agent as well as Ronald Jones. That's the one I wanted to bring up was the Tampa Bay backfield. It blows my mind.

that Ronald Jones is 24 years old. You know, he's been in the league a while. He's a vet. He's going to go on to his next contract. And I think that he has the chance to maybe switch teams to a team that wants to utilize his skill a little bit more. He is a good running back. He's not a pass catcher, but as a first and second down runner, he's talented and he's kind of been just so usurped by Leonard Fournette and the system that Brady wants to run.

I think he has no value this year and could have good fantasy value going forward. Darrell Williams, Melvin Gordon, Cordero Patterson, Deerness Johnson are also free agents. Deerness is a restricted free agent. Looking at the wide receiver position. Yeah, this is where it's juicier. I mean, Devante Adams is an unrestricted free agent. So he could get franchise tagged by the team. If he doesn't get franchise tagged, I would.

He will. You just can't let a guy like Adams walk, and I would imagine he'll get the franchise if they don't have a contract. Yeah, it's tough because if a player of his caliber is very unhappy with the nature of the Packers organization, you do wonder if he could force himself out the door with Rogers. Have there been discussions there when they were looking at long-term deals? Those things are still possible.

Chris Godwin is an unrestricted free agent. It was franchised last year. Alan Robinson, same story. He'll be a free agent. It hasn't been impressive. He's 28 years old. But other names, I'm going to blitz him, and you tell me some of the highlights. But Mike Williams, Will Fuller, Christian Kirk, Michael Gallup, Jacoby Myers. Gallup is the name that I think is 25 years old. He is extremely interesting that we have seen enough of Michael Gallup on the football field to confirm that he is good. And he can go to a team.

and truly be their number two. I think that's what he is. The only reason that Michael Gallup got usurped is because the Dallas Cowboys were in the draft and C.D. Lamb fell to them. And at that point of the draft, like, is how do you pass on what a lot of teams had is the number one wide receiver in the draft? And he's right there for you. You just take the best player available and you figured out from there. But Michael Gallup is somebody that...

it's possible right here at the deadline that you could Trojan horse him into the trade. Maybe there's another player on a manager's team that you've got your eye on, and then you get Gallup kind of tossed in, wink, wink to balance out the deal, and then you let the chips fall and see if Michael Gallup turns into a starting...
