Week 11 Matchups + Staying Water, Taysom Hill News - Fantasy Football Podcast for 11/20

Three for 16, one for eight, three for 31. Yeah, that's Gilmore, though. I mean, Gilmore is still dealing with his knee injury. I haven't heard an update this week if the Patriots are expecting to play or not. Would you just sit him if he's back? Would you just sit Will Fuller? Would you find another? Like, would you play Jacoby Myers across the field who's had so many targets versus this historically bad Will Fuller, which, by the way, D.K. Metcap, historically bad against the Cardinals. I think in three previous games, he had like three catches total.

He had a nice game last night. I would still play Will Fuller. It's a knee injury for a superstar cornerback. So there's no, even if he's back, there's no guarantee that Gilmore's at 100%. Okay. And then anything else from this game that you guys want to get into in terms of potential starts?

Duke Johnson is someone you need to talk about. The Patriots over the last six games, they've been pretty bad against the run. I think he's someone that is going to get enough volume to be, you know, in your RB2 or your flex spot. But I don't expect a big game here. Duke Johnson saw 100% of the running back attempts for the Houston Texans last week. Making his output all the more depressing.

He feels like the exact same decision to start Gio Bernard. If neither of those players get into the end zone, then you are probably bummed out. Possibly. I mean, last week at Cleveland, it was 7 to 10 because of the weather. The weather remains undefeated. Yeah, unfortunately. All right, the Miami Dolphins at 6 and 3 take on the 3 and 6 Denver Broncos. Dolphins are 3.5 point road favorite. It's trying to go to 7 and 3 here. Palindrome game.

You like the six and three, three and six? You know I do. I'm trying to find the quote from Drew Locke that I had shared with you guys this morning. Oh, yes, where Drew Locke was saying that talking about his bad passes were about half of them as soon as it leaves his hands, he thinks, oh no? Yeah, that is accurate. And he was just honest. And we say the same, when it leaves his hand, we say, oh no as well. Oh, no. Yeah. What have I done? I appreciate the honesty from Drew. It's not like.

the rest of the world watching things doesn't have the same thought. So, but what does that mean for passing options for Denver? Because Jason, I know you're staring down the Jerry Judy decision each and every week. Yeah, I have been. And I can tell you right now, there is not a single Denver Bronco that I'm aiming to start. If I can get Melvin Gordon out of my, out of my running back spot, out of my flex and put him on the bench this week, I mean, he's.

barely getting to 10 carries since Lindsay has been back. Two of the last three games, he didn't. Jerry Judy, no. I mean, Jerry Judy's had really one good game, another game where he had a long touchdown in the beginning of the year. Outside of that, he's not been good. I think that dolphins are legit. They've been locking down the number one option. If I had to pick one player from this game, I think I like Tim Patrick more than Jerry Judy, but I don't want a single Bronco. I mean...

If either of you disagree, talk me into starting a Bronco here against a Dolphins defense that's been really hot. It's just Noah Fant is the only question. And that's because the tight end is rough. And Noah Fant can take one play and make an entire tight end's worth of fantasy points. Yeah, that being said since weeks one and two, he's the tight end 22 in fantasy. So it's...

It's like a very soft secret endorsement. Yeah, look, I believe in Noah Fant's future, but right now he is banged up. You can see it how he's playing. Every single week, he's leaving the game and coming back. I just can't trust him right now. Mike Gisicki or Noah Fant. That's a good one. I'll play Gisciki in that situation. Okay. Yeah, let's see. Do I have another one? Not with any sort of joy in my heart. I mean, this is. Jared Cook with Taysam Hill.

or Noah Fent? Look, this is my decision. League of Record. I have Noah Fent and Jared Cook. Oh, well, then tell the people what you're doing. I had, Kelsey is the answer. I had Jared Cook in the lineup with Taysom Hill making the switch. I am going to stick with Jared Cook in the lineup as of right now. I don't like either. And honestly, Logan Thomas is a player. I would rather play over any of them. But it's tough to actually drop a player that you believe has.

better upside the rest of the season for a Logan Thomas, who I'm not sure I could trust week in and week out. Yeah, that's an interesting one. I probably wouldn't have a problem dropping those guys to pick up Logan Thomas if you need to win this week, kind of the, hey, one week at a time situation. But the other side of the ball, Tua, I don't think he's a real great fantasy option. Agreed. I'm looking at Salvin Ahmed, and I'm saying, well, he may have a good opportunity. I don't know how much work Matt Breda will get.

I know that it wasn't their choice to play him when he was healthy, and they had Miles Gaskin. They really like running a single back that can do a lot. Ironically, Ahmed and Gaskin were teammates. They're similar body sizes. They both have the same type of production. I don't have myself. I'm not super afraid of starting Ahmed because Breda had a full practice. Do you guys disagree with me there?

If Brita is active, I don't want to start Ackman. Really? I'm going to, I'm on this, I'm kind of in between the two of you. I would still start Ackman if I had him. It's like he's my flex or my running back three, that type of an area. But I disagree that I am nervous about the start that Maparita could. Maparita might be the guy. I mean, as soon as, as Gaskin, the injury was announced that he was going to miss, you know, three or more weeks.

They poured the confidence onto Matt Barita. Unfortunately, Maparita just got hurt right away. So it's maybe they stick with the hot hand of Ahmed. Well, and Ahmed was very productive. I mean, it was the RB12 last week. Yeah, I mean, it's similar to what you saw in Seattle, right? I mean, the backup to Chris Carson was going to be Carlos Hyde, but he got injured at the same time. And so they had DJ Dallas come in. He was productive. Alex Collins was productive. But once Carlos Hyde was.

back. There was a reason he was running ahead of them to begin with. And I think that, you know, Matt Berita was running ahead of Ahmed to begin with. He was running ahead of Miles Gaskin, just for context. I'd water bet you Ahmed versus Brita. That's for sure, if they're both active. Yeah. And I would side the Ahmed side. It's just the, do you have the confidence that he's going to put up 21 carries for this week if Burrito is there? Producer Borland, please hit that water bet button. What?

I don't know if we have it. Waterbed. Oh, my goodness. You just bet on Matt Berita. If Brita is active, I do think he would run ahead of Akman. I was expecting you to condition it. Like, if Brita's active is the starter and has more fancy points, I will take him in this bet. If you would agree, I would take that bet. I know you would. All right, Devante Parker, we don't have confidence in his production, but like, let me ask you, Devante Parker or Robbie Anderson without Teddy Bridgewater.

Robbie Anderson. Yeah, I got to go Robbie. I mean, since... What about Jacobi Myers or Devante Parker? Jacoby. Yeah, I'll go Jacobi there. Okay. All right. New York Jets, they are still winless. Oh, and nine. The Los Angeles Chargers, two and seven. Chargers are nine and a half point home favorites. It's a 46 point over under. And here's a shocking stat. The Chargers, two and seven, all seven losses by one score.

So is that a... Brutal. Is that a way of saying, look, Anthony Lynn is a great head coach. Everything is competitive. He's managed to work through quarterback issues and injuries. Or is this a way to say, Anthony Lynn's a poor coach. You can't manage close games and his team can't execute at the end or is no blame. No, it's two years in a row of a lot of this. And I think it is the problem of the head coach. You've got in-game mismanagement. You've got time clock issues on an almost...

weekly basis. And, you know, I, I definitely blame Anthony Lynn. I like the dude a lot watching hard knocks. I was like, this dude's awesome. I'm not convinced he's a great head coach. He hasn't shown anything in real games to make me believe that.

Okay. And I know you're right because I like him so much. So historically speaking, Gus Edwards didn't work out for me, who's also a part of this staff? Have we thought about it? Could be Gus's problem? Yeah, Hugh Jackson. It all comes back to Gus. Shocked, you don't love gays.

Oh, stop it. If I had any single one-liner to defend Adam Gase, if that existed, I would have just said it there to be funny, but none of that exists. Justin Herbert, yeah, please play him. What about without the hair? I know, in spite of the haircut. He may not get a date to the dance, but he's going to get a date on my fantasy roster.

Herbs, your hair was legit. Like, that was elite hair. You're not talking about his facial hair, right? No, no, look, he's still a bitty, baby boy. He's got to grow into his beard. When I was his age, there was no follicles grown out of my cheeks. Is he 14? I don't know if you guys have seen the picture mashup of him and young Anakin Skywalker, the little boy. Oh, my goodness. It looks very similar. But yes, you are, you are right. He's.

Herbert, one of the shining spots of this NFL season, looks like he's about to become one of those top-tier quarterbacks for the future. It's going to be Joe Flacco on the other side of the football. And that's a good thing for the downfield options in New York. Sam Darnold, you can blame Adam Gays all you want. Maybe Adam Gays made the man here, but he has got, Sam Darnel's got problems in terms of.

You know, hanging out in the pocket, looking down field, gets skittish, runs too frequently. So Flacco last week, he provided fantasy value to Denzel Mims had targets. Brishad Perriman had two touchdowns and James and Cratter scored. So there is some opportunity for Perryman, I think, as the main potential flex here in this matchup. I'm willing to do it. Like, are you guys on the same page?

I'm personally not just because I totally agree with everything you're saying. The opportunity is there for Perriman. This Chargers defense looks great. And you could have a lot of points scored here for the Jets. But at the same time, they're all healthy now. Crowder is out there. Paramen is out there. Denzel Mims is getting more and more involved in the offense now that he's back from his injury. I don't think all three guys are going to have a good game. And while Paraman.

Was the beneficiary last time we saw Joe Flacco throwing it downfield? I don't think that's prescriptive to necessarily mean that's a guarantee. And relying on a Jets player is hard. I like, I like Perryman because he's shown the downfield propensity for, for years now. So I'm okay with it. I look to the other side of the ball, though. Oh, wow. You got to talk about my boy La Michael P. Ryan, man.

Well, I was looking at the other wide receivers, Mike. Oh, I was doing a little bit of a wide receiver dance there. I apologize. Continue to host. Well. Keenan Allen, yeah, but Mike Williams was my question to you guys. He's had a couple monster games, but then he's been outside the top 36 and the rest of them. So I was going to actually throw the parium in Mike Williams question to you, Mike, because it seems on the surface that Mike Williams is the right play, but...

But from, you know, I'm not sure. I'm not sure about that. That might be another one I'm willing to bet Jason in his crazy face. Oh, Jeremy, you put that on the board. What? Waterbed. I don't know what the bed is. It's Perriman versus Mike Williams. Wait, you want Perriman? No. I do. I do want Perryman. Yeah. Oh, I'll take. I'm not on the bed, but I will take Mike Williams. I get it that, you know, two weeks ago against Las Vegas, he was the wide receiver 37. He was five for 81.

Yeah, you had a great game. You would take that every day of the week. I'm going to go between the two of them, give me Mike Williams. I'll take the better quarterback and the better offense. And the better matchup. Yeah. Sure, sure. That makes sense. Le Michael P. Rhine, you're going to be wrong, but that makes sense. Le Michael Pryne and Kaelin Belage are the fantasy options in this game. Now, Belage 40 touches over the last two weeks. Nothing in this backfield has really changed. Joshua Kelly has not.

become any more elusive. Justin Jackson's on IR. Austin Eckler not available. Trumane Pope wasn't involved last week. So Belage to me is a smash play. I love Kalan Belage this week. And this is a perfect example. We were talking about this on our Sirius XM show. We talk about it in preseason all the time, staying water. I have hated Kalin Belage for the entirety of his.
