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

This episode is brought to you by State Farm. Every football fan is different. Some won't wash their lucky mustard-stained jersey until the season's over. Some insist they can't sit down on third downs and some pick their favorite team because, I don't know, just like football fandom, nobody's life is exactly the same. And that's why State Farm gets to know you, not as a policy number, but as an actual person.

so they can help personalize a coverage plan that's just for you. Whether it's game day or just another Tuesday, State Farm has you covered.

The Fantasy Footballers podcast with your host.

Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Oh, welcome in. It's football, Thanksgiving, everything time. I don't know. Welcome into the Megal Bowl. People weren't going to get it tomorrow, Mike, so I wanted you to do something. I see. Because it's technically football time tomorrow. It's football week. It's turkey week. It's turkey time.

Welcome into the Meglodon episode. The Fantasy Footballers Podcasts. Should I give them the rundown? Should I let them know what we're doing on today's show? Oh, man. How much breath do you have in you? Well, I'm not doing it without breathing. Well, but can you do it in one? Buy or sell news and notes. Never not working. Thanksgiving Day awards and the forecast for Thanksgiving Day starts of the week. Boom, boom kicker. The fantasy forecast with all the matchups. The fantasy face off with the wheel of shame. And maybe, just maybe, if we're feeling generous, some mailback.

Was that, well done. I feel like you could have gone way longer. I could have. We need more content. I am. Are you guys hydrated back there? Al, Judge Giamati, are you guys prepared for this episode? Darn right. I'm on my second cup of tea this morning. Oh, maybe. Nothing hydrates like hot tea. Oh, yeah. Lots of caffeine. That is, you don't normally have two by this time of day. No, definitely not.

Is that why your shirt's off? Just because you're a wild man back there? A lot of pee breaks for Brooks coming. Yeah, totally okay. But happy Thanksgiving, everybody. Yes, indeed. Very excited for the show. Very excited for the Wheel of Shame. I will not be spitting it today. Oh, I won't either, Mike. That means... I guess by process of elimination, I will spin the wheel.

But I'll do it as a service to you guys since you're not going to. Thank you. I appreciate you guys doing it so much for me lately. Yeah. I just hope that Mike has been merciful to me in a way we have not been to him. We continually buy him objects that don't fit him and certainly not his head. That pig knows. That pig nose didn't fit. It wouldn't have fit my arm comfortably.

That thing, like an hour after we were done. How did I not pop? Last Friday, an hour after we were done, I look over at Mike, and he has an indent line on his cheek from the 10 minutes of wearing that pig nose. We are going to give away a signed Debo Samuel Jersey. A man. And we'll do so by dropping a hashtag at some point during the episode today. We want you to share that you have made it through the.

Megalodon episode. Share that hashtag with us and we will give an item away. And don't forget, look, because, you know, whatever, the show ends up at two to two and a half hours. That's not enough for you to see footballers in your life. The party room will be live tonight on Spotify, Green Room, 3 p.m. Pacific, 6 p.m. Eastern. We will be there. We will be. Live. Very live. And just having a good time right before the Thanksgiving break.

And, well, they say if you have too much perfection, it just gets boring. So we did not. So we took a week off of being perfect yet. We all went one for three. Justin Herbert ended up a top 10 quarterback, which I was the only one to buy that. You guys both sold T. Higgins.

as a top 24 wide receiver. I bought that for some reason. And we all bought the David Montgomery top 15 and he finished at 25. Yeah. Loser. But the Week 12 Megalodon edition. Let's start here. Devonza Freeman. Is he a top 24 running back against the Cleveland Browns? He's hit the mark in four of the last five games. However, he is still DeVante Freeman. Yeah, that's my biggest gripe about him is.

He is old, slow, and the best running back on the team. That is a really unfortunate situation. Cleveland is not a smash matchup, not a terrible matchup. So this is, I mean, this is really just a very even line. I'm going to buy. The poor guy is 29. Well, for running backs, that's one year before death. I am going to buy the line of top 24.

I think he gets in the end zone. And from what we saw from Latavius Murray, I'm still of the belief that he has not just completely won this job away from Latavius Murray. I think it's Latavius Murray still recovering from the ankle injury. But according to what we saw last week, it seems like he is still recovering, not recovered. So I think Freeman gets touchdown. I'll buy it. I think it's the passing work that'll get him there. Mike. This is an easy buy.

For me, I think that Devante Freeman is set up to have a, not a spectacular week, but a very solid running back to performance. All right. Our second buy sell is Dallas Goddard. Will he hit the 55-yard mark against the Giants? Playing the hits on Noglodon. Pandering. You're welcome. We didn't set the line. This is Brooks. He needs to hear it. Yeah, I'm going to buy it. I'm a big fan of Dallas Goddard moving forward.

Okay. I actually am as well. If you look at almost all of the behind the scenes, metrics, the routes run, the snaps, the target share, all of those things are great. It has not come through for fantasy greatness as far as total yards and touchdowns. But I'm going to bank on the more repeatable, more predictable stats. And I like Dallas got it quite a bit. So yeah, I'm in. Bye. Yeah, he hasn't struggled to hit that mark.

He's the only guy left, so I will buy this. Mack Jones, two passing touchdowns against Tennessee. He's only done that in four of 11 games. Ooh. This line is tough. Yeah. Tennessee is a depleted offense that I do not think we'll be able to go into Foxborough and give them a game. I'm going to sell it. I think one touchdown pass.

and a myriad of wonderful turns to the left and right to hand the ball off to Damian Harris and Ramandre Stevenson. I hate when we are all the same, but the last time we were all the same, we were all 100% correct. I'm going to follow suit. So if you do well, Andy, I'm doing well. I'm selling because of exactly what you said. I think that the Patriots are going to handle the Tennessee Titans, and if they do, it'll be on the ground. I love all of those arguments.

And for that reason, I have to buy it just so that we are not all the same. Nice, Mike. I like it. So I like Mack Jones this week. But, I mean, two, two touchdowns. Come on, Mac, you can get that done. It's just one more than one. Just once you throw a touchdown, just throw another. Just do one more. That was by yourself from pristineauction.com.

News and notes from Around the League, presented by Sleeper. An update on the Eric Ebron situation. He's going to miss extended time. He's bracing for potential knee surgery. The obvious fantasy implication here is, look, the focus was on Pat Friermuth anyways. Ebron was not a startable asset at any point this year. But him missing time guarantees a target volume to Pat Friamuth that...

will be sustainable throughout the remainder of the season, making him a viable fantasy start. What was really upsetting was when Eric E. Brun actually came back last week. You saw him take snaps away from Pat Friarmouth, take targets away. They were kind of sharing the workload between those two, which previous to Eric Ebron getting back healthy, Fryer Muth, you thought, had just had the established breakout. And it, like, he...

won the role. He was the victor, and he wasn't, but then someone looked down from above and said, you're up. You're up for the rest of the season. You are going to be the guy at tight end, and I let you luth. They are going to, they're going to luthen up the targets. Yeah, I mean, Pat, Pryor, Kyle Pitts, rest of the season. Kyle Pitts. Is it close? It's not as far as it used to be.

But only one of them has a chance to go for 163 in a game. And that's Kyle Pitts. But it is, it's closer. Fryermuth will, it'll still come down to getting into the end zone, something he's been good at. Eric E. Braun was the number 11 tied in last week, you know. So there will be opportunity there. This is a team that is going to get a bunch of defensive pieces back and going to be in the mix the rest of the way. So if you choose Fryer Muth in that situation, I don't blame you.

I really don't. The Muth is Luth. Yes. Which, by the way, we are going to have a Muth shirt. Oh, we are? Oh, fantastic. Yeah, I've already got the wheels are in motion. Oh, so happy. Shotballers.com will have that within a week or so. Zach Wilson will start Sunday against the Texans. In fact, Mike White and Joe Flacco, they won't even be available to come into the game if it goes sideways. I actually have the Jets winning this week.

and against Houston. With Zach Wilson? With Zach Wilson. Mike White and Joe Flacco are both on the reserve COVID list. Flacco's out for at least two weeks as he is unvaccinated. Titans news. Let's have Titans time here. Adrian Peterson was waived. Dontrell Hilliard signed to the active roster. So quick, quick analysis there. Yeah, quick analysis is that Vrable.
