What's going on, everybody? Go check out Footclan giveaway.com. Win something cool. Look, I, we're here. It's Wednesday. We had a kind of a crazy night. Something incredible happened last night. Did Mike get verified? No, no. Not that crazy. So I, look, we're a fantasy football show. I'm going to tell you three things I know about this election, and then we'll.

We'll move on. Number one, I learned that pre-election polling is as trustworthy as Mike's Twitter account. That's the first thing I learned. Very true. That's very true. I have no idea if Mike even has a Twitter account. I really don't know. Some people are thinking it's a Tyler Durden thing going on and Mike doesn't exist. It's just some combination that we created. Number two, if we ever become as good at fantasy football, as John King from CNN was with that digital map.

and the drill downs into every county. Our listeners are going to be bathing in Foot Clan titles. We need to get that guy at the draft. Forget that. I want that TV. That TV was really nice. Yeah. I wanted if it was, I mean, you have the Microsoft logo on there. It's had to be donated. We've got to get that hook up. Yeah. And then the last thing I learned is that 50% of you are probably happy and 50% of you probably aren't. But 100% of you love fantasy football and we're going to keep it 100 right here. Yeah. Keep it 100. You know what else people love?

From years past. They love our Megalodon shows. Yeah. And we're doing another one. Yes. Were you going to finish talking there? What in the world? I just assumed Mike was going to come in and support me with another Megalodon. Nope. No? No. Also, the one thing I learned from your three things about what you learned is that you dropped a fight club reference and you...

Had not seen that. No, I had. I had to look it up. He had to look up who Tyler Dirk has. No, no, I had seen Fight Club before. My point was that I had fallen asleep during the surprise ending. That's, uh, and now I've done that twice. That's, because I rented it again a few weeks ago to watch the surprise ending and I fell asleep during it. You disgust me. But I've turned over, I've turned over a new leaf. Today's show, guys, we have a great one. Pump the brakes with O'Reilly Auto Parts is on the, uh, we have that segment today. We have news and notes.

We have Keep Trade Cut. We have the Thursday night preview, and we have a jam pack. Ooh, mailbag. So we're going to talk some football because there's football games going on very soon. It's preferable. Yeah. Yeah, we're going to talk some football. I told you about the giveaway at footclan giveaway.com. Check that out. A bunch of new articles on the website as well. But, hey, it is Wednesday.

And that only means one thing. Oh, oh, oh, O'Reilly. O'Reilly. Auto parts. Boom. Pump the brakes with O'Reilly Auto Parts. Three guys were pumping the brakes on after big week nines. Three names we want to throw out there. Just saying, hey, take it easy. Cool it. Cool it. Cool your jets. Mine did not. Mine had an okay week nine. I'm interested in yours.

Because I don't, you know, I didn't know who it was until just now. Well, then I'll just, I'll kick it off. And this is a look towards the future. Look, Footland, we're all getting ready for that fantasy football playoff push. Yep. I am pumping the brakes on a one big Ben Routhless burger. That's interesting. Very interesting. I believe that his stats are about to be Routhless. Okay. I don't know what that means. What does that mean?

In a negative way. Look, we've talked about the home splits. I want to bring them up again. Big Ben, since 2014, in 17 games at home, averaging over 30 points a game. That is very, very good. On the road in 18 games. So we're talking a very even split sample size, averaging just under 18 points a game. That is a monster difference in performance.

And here's where I'm pumping the brakes, getting you ready. Week 14 at Buffalo, week 15, at Cincinnati, division game. Look, on the road. Yeah, both of these games are on the road for your first two weeks of your fantasy playoffs. I don't know if you can withstand a victory. If Big Ben, if you're counting on him to put up a huge week. So, look, I'm not going to pump the brakes at all on the past catchers. I think they can still have...

decent games, Antonio Brown and company. But Big Ben, if you're expecting that all, he could give me those, that four touchdown game. It's coming any minute now. On the road, we just, we have a large enough sample size of history that Big Ben doesn't get it done on the road that I have my concerns and I would be trying to find a different quarterback for my playoffs. And that's really what this segment's about is who, who are some players that you have a little bit of concern with moving forward?

Jason, why don't you share your Pump the Brakes candidate? Sure. The guy that I'm going with is a guy who was my start of the week this past week, and he was okay, bailed out by a touchdown. Are you flip-flopping? I'm not flip-flopping. This is what happens with fantasy football is you continue to look at what's in front of you, not what's behind you, and make good decisions going forward. And that's Devante Adams. Devante Adams, look, he's had three big weeks in a row.

very big. He's hot, he's on fire, and normally we say stay in the flames. This week, it's not too bad. He's on the road in Tennessee. So I'm not necessarily saying to sit him this week, but I do think that there are many, many teams that he is on, that it would be better served to play other assets. But going forward, we got to remember those three weeks, they were without any running back, right? I mean, they had no James Starks, no Eddie Lacey.

Aaron Rogers had to throw it a million times. One of those games, they had no Randall Cobb. One of those games, they had no Ty Montgomery. All three of those games were against defenses that were carved up in Chicago. Atlanta, who's known for that, Indianapolis, who's known for that. So now they go into a run of a stretch where they're going to have James Stark's back, Randall Cobb back, Ty Montgomery in there, and they face three games on the road.

Tennessee, Washington, Philadelphia, all three decent past defenses, not elite. Then you've got Houston, which is a bad matchup, and then the playoffs start. Seattle, awful, at Chicago, and then Minnesota. So to me, Devante Adams is a perfect cool the jets. He's still going to be involved. He's still got Aaron Rogers passing him the ball. Not saying he's a bum.

I still think he stinks if he's trying to be a number one wide receiver. He's very good at the wide receiver three. But you need the previous three weeks outlook for him to succeed. That's why we made him our start of the week and not the future. So are we, is he a Limburger? Is the sharp cheddar? Do we need to find a different cheese that's in the middle? Probably. Like a Swiss? A Swiss is perfect. There are holes in the strategy with him. Look, I'm going to call an audible on mine right now.

I am. I am because I think what you brought up is another guy I'm selling. I'm pumping the brakes on Ty Montgomery overall. Really? Yeah, because Ty Montgomery is getting his value out of being the backfield dominator. If you start, if you just right now, you say they get Starks back down the stretch. They have a different running back in the back field. I'm not saying he's taken out of the backfield completely. But what is the upside of Time Montgomery when you have Devante Adams, Jordan Nelson, Randall Cobb?

Jeff Janice. No, but you're the fourth best wide receiver. If you're just lining him up in four wide sets, there's no, I don't see the upside. What makes Montgomery attractive right now is the fact that he's carrying the ball well. If he doesn't get that volume, you're in trouble, especially in non-people. But Andy. Yeah. What? But Andy, um, Ty Montgomery was just made RB eligible in Yahoo.

That's what I was going to say. It makes him more valuable. Does Mike McCarthy consult that when he builds his depth chart? Yeah, of course. Okay. I'm going to give an honorable mention, though, to my original pick, Richard Matthews, only because five touchdowns in the last five games, which is tied for Mike Evans with the most in the league in the last five games. But in that time...

his maximum yardage was 70, three games with 40 or less yardage. I think it's just mirage worthy. I'd pick somebody else personally. I think these two guys like him a little bit more than I do, but I'm going to throw him out there as a possible pump the brakes. And that was pump the brakes with O'Reilly Auto parts, better parts, better prices every day. We love that segment. Reminder, you can follow us on Twitter at the FFBallers. Follow me at Andy Holloway. Follow Jason at Jason FFL. And then...

Follow Mike at FF Hitman. Mike, let's do a status check. Are you verified? No. Okay. Okay. We just had to go to the tape. Look. What are you doing over there? Look, so I put up a, I got myself a new grill. I figured that was the case. Because, look, Arizona, you know what? People are like, uh-oh, winter is coming.

I mean you can grill now. I got to get my jackets. And I said, I got to go get a grill. Yeah, we can go outside. The whole grilling, you know, summers here and it's time to grill. Oh, that's just such terrible logic in Arizona. Hey, it's, it's on fire outside. Let's set some fire on fire. Yeah. But it was the, so I posted that I had no idea what I was doing, which is very true. Because I'm new to this. I'm new to the grill game, everybody. But the, the ribbing I received.

under that photo was incredible for not being verified yeah um before we move into the news i i have to say unbelievable heartfelt thank you oh from uh from everybody here for your support that you you poured out your generosity and your kindness uh on election day no less to

Our good friend, Matthew, you went to footclanhelp.com. You have made a meaningful difference that brought my wife to tears yesterday over what you have given. We cannot thank you enough. It is incredible and just a testimony to the kind of people we have listening to this show. It is humbling, and we thank you with every bit of us for supporting somebody going through such a difficult time.
