Week 11 Buy or Sell + Vetoes, Trade Phones, TNF Preview

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. This is the story of the one.

Apparently, this is show number 817. 817. We're still counting. I thought that number meant something. Like, apparently, you know, this is a big number, but it's just 817. Nope, nope. Just every once in a while choosing to throw the number out there. Pretty cool number. We've got buyers sell on the show today. Some news to catch you up on. We're going to hit the mailbag. We've got the Thursday night preview.

How are you guys doing today? I am doing excellent this morning. I woke up for the first time in a week and my throat didn't hurt. So that was a delightful experience.

My foot hit the lever that says, I go down now. He just went straight down. And I don't think it was on video. I think it was. Oh, Brooks is taking his head now. But I did watch the, uh, the Jeff Goldblum show. Did you? Yeah. The whole first episode is about sneakers and I could barely handle what was happening in this show. They're just floating above your couch? Yes. I just thought I'd ask. I figured you were watching some nostalgic cartoon and I was right. You were correct.

I'm excited to get into it today. Let's do some buy or sell. Buy or sell, presented by pristine auction. Well, last week, we did an NFC North edition of Buy or Sell. And it looks like I came out on top, which made me feel good. I take issue with this.

And then I see Grandpa wins on the side, which makes me feel bad. Well, I take issue because one of the over-under bets we did was on Matthew Stafford's passing yards. Oh. And for some reason, Brooks is giving you the victory. Actually, yeah, that's not really, because I said under? Yeah, you both sold. It was 300 yards will Stafford hit it. You both sold. I bought. So I lost. Look, in fairness, he did not have over 300 passing yards. No, not even close.

Mike, you weren't even close to being right. I'll take the W on this one. Oh, my goodness. No, you didn't win. Well, I won that question. So, yes. All right, AFC West Edition heading into week 11. I love that this buyer sale starts with a name I want to bring up a lot this week. Keenan Allen, does he top 70 receiving yards versus Kansas City? Mind you, he has not done that since week three. He also hasn't scored since week three. I'm buying.

This is, I'm in on Keenan this week, Monday night football, Kansas City. They're going to need to keep up and Keenan Allen's really good. He is excellent. The volume has still been there. He was very close to this last week. He still had 11 targets, eight for 68. So just a, just a hair under I will also buy because the peripheral numbers are there. Like he's getting the target volume and you're right. You got to keep up with Kansas City. So I'm still.

I still believe in Keenan Allen. Yeah, yeah. This is going to be unanimous. It's hard to project him to have a poor game against Kansas City. On the other hand, do you want to sell, though? Let's ask the next question. I might. Okay. Damien Williams, 100 total yards. So rushing, receiving week 10, he was at 109. Week 9, he was at 128. So he's done it in back-to-back weeks facing the Chargers 100 total yards. Buy yourself.

I am going to buy this one as well. I think that he... Does it hurt? It does hurt a little bit. I mean, I've said from long ago, when he is the starting running back for the Kansas City Chiefs, he's excellent for fantasy despite whatever talent. Although I will, I got to give him at least one shout out because there was a play. Yes. Okay, there was a play we're watching. And I assumed...

that they brought in like it was darrell williams or darwin thompson because i was like oh man that was a good run who like that i genuinely thought you said no you verbatim said there's no way that was damien williams yeah and then he rose and you were like and it was 26 and i'm like oh my goodness but the point is he he looked pretty good so i'm going to buy here i think he uh has the role locked down this week

All right, it was close last week, 109 yards. I guess I'll sell to be contrarian here and think he gets just under that. Yeah, the 100 yard mark is tough because he can still have an excellent fantasy day and not hit 100 yards. But the Chargers, that's a pretty solid matchup for the running back. So I'll buy. Now, I will say this. Do you expect LaShaul McCoy to be active? No, he probably needs more rest for down the stretch. We're not to the stretch yet.

Do they keep playing, like when he's doing this quote unquote rest, do they go and, like, show him videos of his, like, Philly and early Buffalo days? They show him videos of Damien Williams. Oh, come on. Being better. Oh, no. Don't fumble, Damien. Not again. Please don't. Honestly, if Damien's alone and LaShawn's inactive again, he's probably going to do it. But I'll sell for the sake of somebody winning this week. Derek Carr, is he going to end up a top.

10 quarterback versus Cincinnati over the last four weeks, 17th, 7th, 12th, 20th. Yes, I will buy the Bengals. I want all my players every single week playing against the Bengals. Derek Carr, I must give him his due. He has actually been excellent. Not just good. He's been pretty excellent quarterback. He's been solid for fantasy as well. So I will buy, especially in this plus matchup.

Yeah, I'll give him credit in this one. It's going to be close. He's not the kind of guy that's really going to go out there and put up a top five performance. So you're betting on the back half. But I'll buy it. Yeah, this is a very interesting line. I like Derek Carr quite a bit this week. I think he's probably a top 12 guy. That top 10 is really tough. He's only done that once on the season. Against Houston, he was number seven. He was top 12 a couple weeks ago against Detroit. I'm going to sell. I think he's going to have a great game.

But I think that's a really tough line to get that. Honestly, the one thing in his way would be the Raiders DST this week against Cincinnati. Or Josh Jacobs, you know, what happened to Aaron Rogers last week? Sure. Type of thing. Darren, five total catches, which seems like like an easy, you have to buy it, right? You don't, though. The last three weeks, just seven total across those three weeks, two, two, three.

The previous six weeks average was 7.3. So things have really changed for Darren Waller and people are looking around saying, look, where's the walrus, Mike? Ever since you dressed up as a Waller is. Ever since they paid him. Yeah. Yeah. That's really true. It's only kind of true. I think he had like his biggest game of the year after he was paid. That's fair against Green Bay. Yeah. And then he had, you know, it's not really his fault. He's not getting a lot of targets. I don't think he's a different player. It's just.

The way the ball is, you know, Hunter Rintrow more involved. Tyroo Williams back and healthy. Josh Jacobs, over 40 carries a quarter lately. It's not Waller's fault, but what do you do here? Do you buy five catches against Cincinnati? I'm going to sell it. I think he's in the, I think three or four. I am contractually obligated to buy. Yeah. And I will sell because, you know, five receptions means he's getting.

seven or eight targets, and I don't know that they're going to need him that much in this game. All right. Last one. Philip Lindsay, 11 total fantasy points against Minnesota. Coming back off the buy week, he's averaged 10.9 on the season. He's the RB12. And, you know, Minnesota is pretty stout D. They're at home. 11 fantasy points, though, not a high bar. I'm going to sell it on the basis of limited passing work since Brandon Allen's been on board.

Yeah, I think it comes down to a rushing touchdown, and so I will sell. I'm going to buy. You know, I just think his talent is great in Minnesota while they're a good defense. They're not the defense of the last few years. I believe you called them Dead Middle yesterday. Yes, they were dead middle. Which, where is dead middle on your, on your? It's either 16 or 17 in the NFL. Because technically there is no.

Right. Extreme middle. Okay. That's why I was getting at there. There's no exact. There's two dead middles. There's two dead middles. And they were number 16 against that position. They're better against the run, but I still think Philip Lindsay can get it done. What about Philip Rivers? So he's on my mind, obviously, after last week. And we have our waivers running soon. Andy, you and I are playing each other in a very brutal matchup this week. Oh, do we have a big surprise coming up?

We'll find out whether or not I am moving on from Philip Rivers or not this week, probably mid-show. Okay. All right. We'll find out. We do have a matchup and link a record. That was by herself presented by pristine auction. Use the code ballers over at pristineauction.com. Save yourself $5 towards your first sports memorabilia purchase. Let's get into the news. News and notes from around the league. Presented by Sleeper. All right.

Mike reported this. He was the source earlier this week. James Connor full practice. Supposed to be back out there dealing with the shoulder separation. But Thursday night, we're going to talk about the game today, but James Connor expected back out on the field. Yeah, expected to play still a slight chance that he won't be, but a full practice on Tuesday, I think he'll be there.

Are you worried about any re-injury? I mean, at this point. Of course, because he's getting injured every single week. And now look what Matt Breda did. He's going to have to up the ante to match him. And really, I'm not worried about re-injury of the shoulder. I'm worried about re-injury. The rest of his body? All of the parts. All of the parts have been hurt. And, you know, I don't think this was on this show. I think this was on our serious XM live show where we were doing the Halloween candy comp.

But when someone compared him to a three musketeers bar because it looks all hard and rigid on the outside, but then it's just soft, soft new get in the middle. Here's the thing. I am worried about re-injury because you come down one time on that shoulder. You're dealing with the AC joint. It could be a pain tolerance thing that he gets through. But he runs, he kind of hurts himself in the way he plays. And as far as he's just a really, he's just a,

good player and he plays hard and he fights for the last yard. When you say worried, are you pivoting to a lower tier option? I doubt you have that option. Well, it would have to be, you're pivoting down. So it would be like, are you playing James Connor or maybe you grabbed Brian Hill off of the waiver run or you're playing like Ronald Jones against the Saints? I don't like it when you ask me questions.
