Week 14 Studs & Duds + Fantasy Burns, Playoff Time - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/9

five pick, a wide receiver who was drafted in the top five. 22% target shares is not, that's not forgivable. Well, I don't, I don't blame that low of a target share because the catch percentage and the, you know, the in sync with Kyler percentage, it's not always a good idea to target him right now as a rookie. Now, the play calling in Arizona is. That's what I'm talking about. It's driving me insane. Jason, you and I watched the L-22 a few weeks ago when Kyler had one of his. What would that be? Is that the Jekyll performance? Which one's the good one? Jekyll or Hyde? I think Jekyll is the good. Yeah, so his Hyde performance? No, Jekyll is the bad guy in the story. Whatever one's bad. Dr. Hyde is the scientist who turns himself. Hold on. I don't know which you want for fantasy. It's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The doctor is going. What, I had it backwards? Jekyll is good. Wow. Okay, I'm dumb. Anyways, Kyler's been Hyde, all right? Hi, ding.

And when he is, you know, the all 22, the play calls for this Cardinals offense, they'll run four guys into long developing routes down the field. They give him no escape. It's unbelievable. But at the same time, Marvin Harrison Jr., he's the wide receiver 25 on the year. A disappointment for where you drafted him. He is leading, I believe, all rookie wide receivers in touchdowns. And, you know, he's had a lot of big games. So this isn't a. You know, some of these players we're talking about, I don't know how you start them anymore. You brought up in the games where he doesn't have a touchdown, he's awful. But in the games where he has a touchdown, he's averaging 17 fantasy points. It's not like it's just a touchdown, so he's getting to 10. He has good games and bad games. And really, that's just what Kyler is. Kyler has good games and bad games. New England at home, but I can't imagine that I'm going Harrison over, Jennings or Sutton, the names you mentioned before. Jennings.

Was that a Forrest Gump? That was a Forrest Gump. Swish! I got it out first. I got it out first. That was a swish. What in the world? Where did you pull that from? I heard the way Andy said. No, this was great. Look. Oh, go to Deucer's Alley here. We got a 9 and a 10. This is a great joke. That was great. Because Andy, the way he said Jennings was just like how Forrest Gump, Jennings. It's good. It's good for. I'm going to. I'm going to need feedback on that one. No, I'm off, apparently. I think just because the two poopers laugh. Yeah. Doesn't necessarily mean we nailed it. The people loved it. Brock Bowers, three for 49. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Spaghettios. I mean, you don't get to make a mistake two weeks in a row in the playoffs. And so.

The idea of moving away from Barack Bowers if you had another option. Jennings. Oh, no. You like it. Oh, no. Yeah, you like it. Oh, no. Yeah. I wanted to try it. It's fun. It's fun to say. If you've seen Forrest Gump, this, I mean, obviously, if you, if you haven't seen Forrest Gump, it's not, it's not a good joke. That's just called a reference and you don't get it. Go watch Forrest Gump. Jennings. It's a lot of fun. Try it at home. How do you spell that, though? How do you put that in the nickname chart? Yeah, I just you can't. Oh, poor Juan Jennings. Brock Bowers, you're going to keep playing him and praying. But nine targets for Michael Mayer in this game. I was, there was a point in the game where I was wondering if Brock Bowers banged up. T.J. Hawkinson, four for 45, not what you wanted. Evan Engram, four for 33. Travis Kelsey, five for 45. Cole Komet. Goose for Goosey Goose.

And Kyle Pitts with his cursory, one catch on six targets. Man, Kyle Pitts. I keep wondering. Are we like, is this funeral for Pitts and Debo? Are like, Davey? So with Kyle Pitts, I genuinely keep wondering how much is him, but if, you know, he's going to get a decent to big second contract. He will. He's, he's a young. Highly drafted, athletic, whatever. You see the open market tight ends go and get decent contracts based on very little work done. Someone out there will pay for Kyle Pitts. And I just, I scratched my head to go, is it all him? Is it mostly him? Is it half him? Like if he were to go to a different team paying money, different scheme, better quarterback, could it work? I don't know. I'm skeptical. I think he phones it in a lot.

I don't think he can separate very easily in any intermediate route. He can get downfield and hide. You know what I mean? He's got some top speed if he gets up to speed. But when I watch him run the routes, the Kelsey route, the McBride route, in the middle of the field, I go and I make a break and I try to get out quick. I don't see that. No. That's what I see the problem. And that's the easy stuff for a tight end to rack up the. Total reception. That's where it feels lazy. There's been a couple curl routes or breaking routes where it's like the effort just seems like. I don't think his legs work. Yeah, something's weird. They did pick up his fifth year option, so he's got one more year in Atlanta. Can they undo that? I don't think so. I don't know if you can't. They would take it back if they could. Can you? Well, we get a Monday night football game tonight and we'll be watching that. Go Borough. Many of you are very.

You know, you have your playoffs in the balance. We've got waivers and streamers on tomorrow's show. We got hungry for more mailback Thursday night preview on Wednesday. And we'll be with you as we head into the fantasy football playoffs. Obviously, I won't be here. I've got the buy, so I'll be, I think I'm hitting the beach maybe. Oh, nice. Are you flying down south? I don't know. I'll call Jalen up and we'll go hang out. It might be a little chilly. Jennings. Oh, no. All right, that'll do it for today's show. Thanks for tuning in.
