Al eliminates the champ and applauds himself

Jason beats Papa Josh but misses the playoffs when a roughly 400-point underdog wins elsewhere. Al's team causes the elimination; Al calls himself the hero who spared the league, presses his own applause, asks that the record show who did it, and admits the self-dunk. Jason later names the Pittman non-trade and benched Gabe Davis as the five-point difference.

moment

The Etienne giveaway flirts with autograph fraud

A free Foot Clan giveaway pairs a signed Travis Etienne jersey with Footballers swag. When the hosts discuss signing the merchandise, the wording makes it sound as if Mike might sign Etienne's name; the desk answers that a certificate proves the jersey is authentic.

moment

Monday Punday crowns and buries Week 14

The recurring sophisticated ritual celebrates Heaven Ingram, Isaiah Lovely, David Winchoku, Scorland Sutton, Cooper Yup, T. Debo Samuel, and Rashish Rice, then condemns Patrick Mac Jones, Jared Blarf, Justin Hurtbert, Amon-Ra St. Brownstains, David Midgmery, Gabe Dufus, and others.

moment

Gabe Davis fulfills the Goose King prophecy

A third every-other-week zero in six games fulfills the December 8 promise to crown Gabe Davis the Goose King. His boom-bust cycle becomes an ice-cream street magician who offers a delicious cone and pulls it away; the Dud review repeats the crown after another forty-plus-route zero.

moment

Broken ligments lose a syllable

A host says 'ligments,' is corrected, and then rationalizes the missing syllable: when ligaments are broken, a piece is missing, so the shortened word describes the damaged version.

moment

Andy denies the Panthers Almost Upset

Andy's Jets Almost Upset hits while his Carolina selection fails. When the Panthers are named, Andy says he would never make that choice, and the desk answers that the record belongs to him.

moment

Thirst is enough to summon the injury cart

While discussing players who walk off injuries, a host says dehydration alone would put him on the cart, then upgrades a near collision and simple thirst into another immediate cart request.

moment

Mike budgets twelve thousand for CMC

Mike wants any backup stuffed after McCaffrey is tackled near the goal line, knows Arizona is next, and says he will spend $12,000 on CMC in his DraftKings lineup. Direct video identifies Mike at the right microphone for the price line.

moment

Jason's Arthur defense triggers a vote off the show

As Jason softens into an Arthur Smith apologist, another host says he would like to vote Jason off the show; desperate times are given as the justification.

moment

The Borgogon supplies Bateman's four targets

The hosts ask Kyle to chime in if he can find Rashod Bateman's target total, and the immediate off-camera answer is four. Video remains on the three-host desk.

moment

Octopus is accepted and heater is claimed

The desk learns that a touchdown plus the same player's two-point conversion is called an octopus and reluctantly accepts the eight-based name. Chris Collinsworth's use of heater then prompts the hosts to claim he stole their word because they overused it for one show; their words are said to be on a heater.

moment

The Dud stinger fills the frame with manure

The show introduces the Duds with 'Pooped in his big boy pants.' The published video genuinely displays the green host-cutout title animation, then a close-up manure texture, before returning to the Christmas desk under a DUDS monitor.

moment

Jason deploys reverse Tinkerbell on Zach Moss

After two poor games, the desk mocks Jason's Zach Moss love and suggests Moss may need Jason not to believe in him. Jason responds by declaring complete confidence under reverse-Tinkerbell logic, which the others call an attempt to kill Moss.

summary

Episode notes

Complete review of all 41 storyboard sheets plus targeted direct-video frames shows Andy left in a bright aqua hoodie, Jason center in black with cap and glasses, and Mike right in black with a white Arizona cap. The Christmas desk has lit tinsel, a large red bow, figurines, mugs, a DeLorean model, and a black Fantasy Footballers helmet. No Jay Griz name, drop, image, cardboard cutout, physical bear, missing host, Listener League detail, or Megalabowl detail occurs. The episode opens on Jason's League of Record disaster: he beats Papa Josh, but a team outscored by roughly 400 points upsets the needed favorite, so the defending champion misses the playoffs. Al says he spared the league and is a hero. When the hosts request applause for Al eliminating Jason, the published edit cuts to the real neon DUCERS ALLEY row—Papa Josh left, festive-cap Brooks center, and Al right—while Al presses his own applause, tells the record to show it, and admits he dunked on himself. Jason later adds that the rejected Pittman trade or simply starting Gabe Davis in a five-point game would have put him in. A free Foot Clan giveaway offers a signed Travis Etienne jersey and swag, then jokes that Mike might counterfeit Etienne's signature despite an authenticity certificate. Monday Punday supplies Heaven Ingram, Isaiah Lovely, David Winchoku, Scorland Sutton, Cooper Yup, T. Debo Samuel, Rashish Rice, Patrick Mac Jones, Justin Hurtbert, Amon-Ra St. Brownstains, Gabe Dufus, and more. Gabe's third every-other-week zero in six weeks fulfills the prior promise to crown him Goose King; he becomes an ice-cream street magician who repeatedly offers a delicious cone and pulls it away. A second consecutive goose is confirmed near the close. Andy's weekly Almost Upset hits on the Jets but misses on Carolina, after which he tries to deny ever picking the Panthers and the desk invokes the record. Broken 'ligments' lose a piece of the word, and dehydration or a near collision becomes enough reason to summon the injury cart. Mike is visibly the host willing to spend $12,000 on CMC against Arizona while rooting for any backup to be stuffed. Jason's Arthur Smith apology makes another host vote to remove him from the show. The Borgogon supplies Bateman's four-target lookup from off camera. The desk accepts the touchdown-plus-two-point 'octopus' term but says Chris Collinsworth stole 'heater' because the Footballers overused it for one show and therefore own it. The Duds section genuinely uses the full-screen green POOPED IN HIS BIG BOY PANTS animation and a manure close-up. Finally, Jason tries reverse-Tinkerbell logic on Zach Moss—professing belief so Moss will thrive—only to be accused of trying to kill him.

Inside the episode

67 passages
27:16 ↗

Yeah. Bejohn Robinson. He scored 10 for 34 and a touchdown, seven targets, RB8 on the year. It wasn't a weak winning performance, but it was nice. I'm telling you, the Loki change for me of Arthur Smith. He has made. How'd that go for him? Oh, I don't care if he wins a loser. Oh, I care. To be fair, it's gone well for him. He's won two of the last three weeks. And this game, they had a chance to win it at the end. They did win. And then the defense led a game winning drive by Baker. And six and seven, all three teams top that division, six and seven. But the Bijon snaps are where we need them to beat. And the targets, the work, the red zone utilization. He keeps scoring now when you give him the ball inside the five. It's so crazy.

28:05 ↗

But he's been... Should have had two. A top ten. Doesn't have been ridder missed him wide open. Yeah. Top ten running back. Three of the last four games for him now. Javante Williams, 17 for 66, his first rushing touchdown of the season. Christian McCaffrey, 16 for 145. He got caught on the four. Dude. Oh, man. That was so brutal. That was rough. Can the Niners do anything wrong? Like anything. They... Jordan Mason got three touches. He scored a touchdown. Depot gets a few touches. He'll get a good game. It's unbelievable. I feel like there should be a rule. If you have a play that is 50 yards or more and you get tackled on the, let's say, the three, inside the three-ish, you get half of the touchdown. If somebody else fall out and scored on the next play. Maybe the NFL should just automatically reward a 30-second timeout for any big play.

29:00 ↗

so that the teams could catch their breath. I'm fine with that too. I'm just trying to. You always root for that backup guy to get stuffed. Without looking, do you guys know who the Niners play next week? It's the Cardinals. Oh, my goodness. I looked. I know. I will pay 12,000 for CMC and my DK lineup. Yeah, the Cardinals, great. Jamir Gibbs, 11 for 66 on the ground, out a touchdown, big run, and then ETN back into the end zone to save his day. Didn't have a ton of production, but got into the end zone. Those 249 are whiteout. Brandon Ayuk, 6 for 126, Debo Samuel, 7 for 149, and another touchdown. Another big play. Another rushing touchdown in addition to his receiving touchdown. When they've had a healthy Debo, Samuel and Trent Williams, this is from Ian Hartitz.

29:50 ↗

Here's their point totals. 30, 30, 30, 35, 42, 34, 27, 31, 42, and 28 points. That's what I mean. They just seem like they can't do anything wrong right now. Drake London. Yeah. Best game of his career. This is part of the Arthur thing. The 11 targets 10 for 172, target on a nearly 30% of his routes and one of the best catches of the season. You mean when he. When Ritter targeted the defender? Yeah. The ball was thrown to the defender and Drake London, he undercut the ball. He literally made an interception. Drake London made an interception on offense. Yes, he did. I felt like this was in some ways his coming out game. Like this is his first pure dominator type of performance. He's made plays. But I hope this leads to like consistent force feeding Drake London. There is a reason.

30:44 ↗

You drafted him in the top 10 as the first wide receiver in that draft. What did you go, nine or something? I can't remember. Was he really that high? Yeah, he was top 10. Number eight. You see this with DJ Moore and the Bears. The first couple weeks of the season when Fields was struggling, they weren't always necessarily hyper-targeting more. Now they've just decided like he's our playmaker. We have to go to him at like 30% of our plays when he's on the field. And that's what they need to do here with Drake London. Do you think they brought in a fancy football advisor? I sure hope so. Like somebody that, like, is a hardcore player and they're like, what would you do? Because, because, uh, does. Does Arthur have that level of self-reflection? Arthur does, man. I'm sorry that I've become an Arthur apologist, but like I'm watching. I would like to vote Jason off the show. Desperate times, Jason. Desperate times. I do think he has self-reflection. I, I, I.

31:40 ↗

I don't think he's a dumb guy. I really don't. He's frustrating sometimes. And early in the season when he kept, you know, just hunkering down on the like, I, fantasy. This was a good week for Drake London, Kyle Pitts and B. John Robinson. The big three. The big three. Do you see I started Kyle Pitts? Did you? Did you? Wow. DJ Moore, 10 target six for 68 and a touchdown had a rushing touchdown. He's a monster with Justin Fields. They have to go to Cleveland. So your first playoff week next week. will be a challenge, but I, you know, in the landscape of injuries, I don't know if you're making any different moves. Cooper Cup, eight for 115. Hey, baby. That's nice to see them back, yes. I feel like heroes are rising from the ashes this week. Yeah, some of the names were. And I feel like people, some people got stuck with Cup on their bench. Yeah, I mean, look, it, it makes sense. Baltimore, rain, not producing.

32:35 ↗

dealing with the ankle injury. I think I had him ranked at 15. Yeah, I might have been a couple spots behind that. He was definitely a wide receiver too where you could have chosen to put other people ahead of him in your lineup. But it's nice to have him do this no matter what. Next week, at home against the Manders should be, you know, force him in your lineup. Let's talk about the Ravens whiteouts. Beckham, 10 targets. Zay Flowers, 10 targets. What was the... target total, Kyle, you can chime in if you see it for Bateman. I felt like Bateman was targeted at least a handful of times. Rashad Bateman had four targets. Okay, I lied. It just seems like about too, too many. I think it was just like the importance of the catch. Agalore. Agalore might have had as many targets as Bateman did, but how did you feel about, I mean, obviously Lamar had one of his big games and whenever we get a big game from Lamar, we'd like to project.

33:30 ↗

going forward and beautifully, you know, happening every week. It doesn't generally work that way. What's your confidence level on those two whiteouts? I am decently confident. So we have three games without Mark Andrews. All three games, Zayflowers, was very good. Now, this last game Zayflowers, he took it to the limit. You got late into that game before a very long, like third and 17, got a touchdown, really saved his fantasy day. Got a two-point conversion. Yeah, on the same drive. We call that the octopus. Right? Isn't that what they say now? What? Oh, when you get a touchdown and the two point conversion? Yeah. I'm in. Okay, because it's the eight. Yeah, I don't know. It's, I find it really dumb, but I've, I've heard the commentators talking about it. But O'Dell Beckham to me is the one I want to talk about. Did you hear Collinsworth use heater? Oh, I did. You heard it live? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It made me laugh because it's, it's not like I didn't, we didn't create that word. Of course not. But.

34:27 ↗

But he did steal it. It's our word now. We overused it for a show, so now that's our word. Yeah. And he listened and said it's like, you know, sometimes things stick. Some of our words are kind of on a heater. But O'Dall Beckham, to me, looked really good in this game. Yes. He actually looked, you know, he's been dealing with his own injury. His targets are more downfield versus Zayflowers. A lot of times his targets are more screen game, short game. Yeah, Beckham's were all Willie May's style in this game over the top of it. The adjustment on the throw to the sideline where he was looking over the inside shoulder. It was amazing. Quickly readjusted because the throw was the outside. It was amazing. And the touchdown catch being able to hold on to that and just kind of rolled into the end zone, when he's healthy. Oh, he didn't even roll. He just got up on his knees and held the ball out. Straight. It was great. I'm actually pretty interested in him for tomorrow's waiver show.

35:24 ↗

All right, this was a risky start of the week, so I feel very thankful that he came through. But Garrett Wilson, 14 targets, 9 for 108. 14 targets. Yeah, because, duh. Yeah, I agree with you. I mean, this was like pure. Zach Wilson is, his situation is very interesting. This was his best performance, my opinion, or close to it. I mean, like. Yeah, the game against the Chiefs was very good, too. The Chiefs game was good. This one had more throws that I liked, like, total. evading the pocket, hyper-targeting your best receiver. There was an out-of-bounds play that, yeah, receivers, I guess, if you include Brees. I do. Because he's not a running back. Sure. He's just an athlete. But he's playing with, like, there's no, there's just no pressure on Zach Wilson anymore. I did just see a quote of Wilson. One of his teammates said, I have nothing to lose. What are they?

36:22 ↗

What's the worst that can happen? I get benched again. Yeah, you get made the third string and then you become, I mean, he's gone through everything bad you can go through. At this point. He will rise. You just, you're just freewheeling. You know, just go. Just throw the football, run around. If you have something there, you're going to be a lot better for this team than Boyle and Simeon. And he was smart to target those players. 40% of his passes went to Garrett Wilson. 26% of his passes went to Breeze Hall. So literally two thirds of all of his passes just went to those two guys. That's how you do it, people. Pittman, unstoppable, 11 targets, 8 for 95 every week. You know, if you had him, Jason. It wouldn't matter. Yeah. I mean, it would have. I would have been in the playoffs. Oh, that's a great point. You lost that one game because you didn't trade for him. We said that our game would determine the playoffs and it was a five point game. And it did. And had I played Gabe Davis.

37:20 ↗

I'm in. Just remember that. He takes and he takes and he takes. Rashi Rice, 7 for 72 in a touchdown. He did fumble. You know, it's the Rice and Kelsey show because the other wide receivers are so incompetent. It's embarrassing. Give me here. Let's do the two, three minute. Sure. To me, the way Mahomes and Reed reacted to what transpired was an embarrassment. I find it to be ridiculous that the level of whining and complaining that they did after that game when Cadarious Tony basically lined up with the Buffalo Bills on that play, especially because the Chiefs have been the recipient of so many benevolent calls over the course of the last five years, that to me their reactions came, they came across as a coach and a player that is not accustomed to anything going wrong ever for them.

38:15 ↗

And, like, they still could have made plays to win the game after that. Like, there were still a lot more that could have been done. I just found the play to be ridiculous. Like, the truth is Cadarius Tony lined up egregiously off sides and just take it. Just accept it. Yeah, his foot was basically where the ball was, which is not where you're supposed to be. I have seen no one on the chief side outside of, like, chief's diehard fans. Everyone is like, this was the right call, blah, blah, blah. I can actually sympathize with the chiefs here. I agree that they're whiny. I mean, they're super whiny afterwards. You're supposed to do the, like, good game. There's going to be consequences for their behavior. Sure, that neither one of them will care about. But the situation is one where it didn't really affect the play. There's holding on every single play. There's holding on the offensive line or, you know, every single play. You call the egregious ones. And this was an egregious, you know.

39:14 ↗

lining up of this was clear and obvious he did line up in the wrong spot that's fine that's fine but this is not he was ahead of the ball by almost a foot but it's still not a very often called thing do you know the last time the chiefs had an offensive off sides called do either of you know no 1995 yeah it's it is a very rare i'm just saying like and it didn't affect the play it's not why the play worked so i get being upset where it's like oh my gosh really Like the guy was, he stepped over to it. And you rob a great play. It was correct. The play was unbelievable. You throw the flag. I'm fine with that. But I'm also fine getting upset about it. You do this miraculous play and you have something that didn't really affect it that hasn't been called since 1995. Whatever. You move on. But you're allowed to gripe. You're allowed to be like, we were robbed of a great play. Yeah. My take on it was putting yourself in that position of.

40:12 ↗

Like, at that point, had Mahomes seen the tape, had Andy Reid seen like the snapshot of how bad he was off sides? Probably not. And in that moment, they felt like they had gotten jobbed by the referees. And when you're talking to people in the heat of competition right at the very end and you feel like you got hosed, you're going to be real, real mad. So this is what we want. Like, that's why there's press conferences. If you. If you're talking to these people in the heat of the moment, then you're going to get reactions like this. I'm guessing they woke up this morning and they're going to look at it and go, ah, crap. Probably. He was really off the press conference doesn't bother me. What bothered me was that Patrick Mahomes had to be. Well, he was talking to Alan. No, he had to be, you know, held back by his teammates because he was cursing the referee out and coming running at the referee. His, like, on-field behavior is the stuff that's going to get.

41:10 ↗

the most criticism from the league because you know that's not acceptable no matter who you are you know we don't we don't accept it if it's anybody on any team going at a referee five plays later you know it wasn't like he was doing it right then it was like okay the the rest of our drive didn't work out and now I'm going to come at the referee I don't know I just didn't find it becoming I think the the actual takeaway that is that is actually actionable and you can go forward and say this is how we fix this problem is

41:40 ↗

Get Cadarius Tony off the field. Yeah. That dude is a boneheaded. He just makes mistakes nonstop to hurt your team. That whole wide receiver core has ruined this season for Patrick Mahomes. NBS should have won a game for them. Yeah. Tony should have won a game for them. Should have won probably two or three. He's dropped everything. Wide receivers line up off sides all the time, but you look over at the ref and you give them the thumbs up. Am I good? And they go, no, you need to move back. That's right. Did you see the replay of where he was looking? I mean, he couldn't. I was going to say to, I don't think Tony looked. Oh, he couldn't have looked. He had the back of his helmet towards that refth the entire time. So, yeah, that's on the player. Yes, Andy Reid is correct that refs give warnings. They give a warning if you ask them. Like, hey, am I offside? But if you're not going to ask, the rest is just going to be, okay. That ref could have been doing jumping Jackson. Cadarious Tony would not have seen him. Yeah, I think those are all fair thoughts on the situation.

42:37 ↗

It's unfortunate. Definitely fine to be upset about it. Just thought it went over the top. Sure. Yeah. Evan Ingram. Goodness. I was hungry for more and I am full. 11 for 95 and two touchdowns. Evan Ingram, it just made sense, right? You're losing Christian Kirk. You're facing a pass rush. You're in weather. This is setting up, like there are players right now that are emerging that were last year stars at the end of the year. Evan Ingram was one of them. Yep, Evan Ingraham. McKinnon was one of them. And the spot start, I know he didn't have a great game, but Zay Jones, Zay Jones finished the game with 29 total yards. Do you guys know how many targets he had? I don't, actually. 14. Yeah, okay. David Najoku. Had I played him, I would have beaten Al this week in our meaningless matchup. Six for 91 and two touchdowns.

43:35 ↗

Eight targets. Jason, you had confidence in him. And he performed. And he has got the juiciest schedule. I mentioned that when I traded for him in our League of Record at the deadline. I loved the schedule. It was all green lights. I mean, Chicago, Houston, New York. Those are three vulnerable teams the rest of the way to the tight end. Yeah, great. great options for tight ends and Joe Flacco was named the starter for the rest of the season. Which is such the right call. It is great news for David Najoku and Amari Cooper both. Did you see Amari Cooper's targets? He had a ton of time. I mean, you've got a competent quarterback. I want to see that number again. I thought it was, yeah, 14 targets. The most Amari Cooper has had on the year by three. So Joe Flacco had over 300 passing yards.

44:24 ↗

Just want to make sure I'm looking here. Sean Watson has never had 300 yards as a brown. No, I mean, we did say, like there's a chance this is the best situation for this team, better than Watson. Because he can, he can throw it. He can throw the football. And he's, he's looked okay. You know what's crazy? He's kind of like late Carson Palmerish to me. All right. Not mobile. Plaka looks a little bit bigger than he used to look. But he can sling it. What blows me away is there were three plays that I can remember from this game where the pockets started collapsing and he rolled out. He ran and on the move made a great pass. I don't feel like I've seen Flacco do that in nine years. As long as it's right. As long as it's right. Right. Yeah, that's fair. It was it was the right every time. Isaiah likely Hunter Henry, George Kittle, Kyle Pitts. Kyle Pitts played the most snaps.

45:19 ↗

had the highest snap percentage, the most routes run on the team. Nice. Three catches, but 57 yards on a touchdown. Yeah, it was nice to see. All right, that's it for the studs.

So let's, let's be, let's not be like over-emphasizing the negative. Let's just talk about.

46:15 ↗

players we think have long-term issues on their hands. And so, you know, Jalen Hertz is at the top of the list. It's been no long-term issue here. No. No passing, no rushing touchdowns. That's crazy. I mean, it seemed impossible for Jalen Hertz. They scored no offense at touchdowns, right? Correct. Patrick Mahomes. Here we are again. Now, Patrick Mahomes is worth worrying about, but we've been worried about him since like week four. So I think this is just the same old, same old. 14 fantasy points of game since week 8. Well, just look at what the chiefs are scoring. Okay, they scored 17 points this week. They scored 19 points last week. 31. Okay. Three weeks ago, that's great. You know, and he was okay. The week prior, 17. The week prior, 21. The week prior, nine. I mean, this isn't a team that's putting up.

47:08 ↗

30 plus points regularly, hardly at all. And so their defense is good, and a lot of those games have still been wins. So this is absolutely a concern. When you don't have the wide receiver core that can aid you and Travis Kelsey is looking, you know, 10% slower than he did last year, this is what you're going to get. You're going to get quarterback eight type of performances, which is okay, but not great. How would that play have been scored? I wondered the same thing. I don't think anyone gets a passing touchdown. No, it becomes a rushing touchdown, I believe. Yeah, so you get passing yardage to Kelsey. Yes. And then rushing totals for Tony? Correct. I think so, yeah. And nothing for Kelsey for the pitch and nothing for Malmes for the path. Correct. Well, yeah, he has the completion. Passing to Kelsey. He gets. Right, but not a healthy touchdown. No. No. Interesting. Oh, my goodness gracious. I'll give the floor to Mike. Jared Goughful. Dude.

48:06 ↗

Jared Goff was awful. Amon Ross St. Brown, that was another one of those. How is this possible? How is that player having such a bad game? But that was an embarrassing performance against a division rival. And, I mean, I want to ask you guys, who, what is this team? What, like, you know, I mean, are they, are they really a contender? Because they keep on certain weeks they have been. I think their defense has really gone downhill. And this is a team that I believe is much better to play from a lead on offense when they can bully you with the offensive line, play more David Montgomery ball. Like this was a Jemir Gibbs. We're coming from behind type of offense. Giving up 26 or more points in five straight weeks. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. And that's not how their offense is built. So when their defense is sucking.

49:04 ↗

Their offense is worse, not better. I expected them to get it going. I mean, they did this exact game script against Chicago a few weeks ago, came back and won the game, and they just never got it going. No Laporta, no Amman Ra. Yeah. No home crowd this time around. Right, right. To carry them on to victory. But this was easily the worst game of Amman Ra for ever. I mean, 21 yards. It's nasty drops. But it just another quarterback with questions moving forward because you can't. It's not guaranteed. Mike and I once again, I mean, we threw the shade on Zach Moss. Yeah. He loves him. My dude, man, I can't believe that he's looking like he's not a great running back. He's been garbage for two weeks. Jason, we know what happened. The PEDs ran out, man. We do know what happened. What if it's necessary for Zach Moss? Maybe he needs you to not believe in him.

49:55 ↗

Yeah, then I am all in on Zach Moss. It's like the reverse tinkerbell situation. Then I am not worried about my dude, Zach Moss. Oh, you're trying to kill him. He's going to be great. The rest of the season, make sure he's in your lineup. He's so good, man. Contact balance, soft hand. That don't think people agree with you. Oh, man. Such a shame. DeAndre Swift, miserable performance for DeAndre Swift. I mean, pretty disappointing for. most eagles. Miserable for Keaton Mitchell and Gus Edwards because all the scoring was through the air. This was the inverse of why Gus was scoring on a regular basis and that's why Lamar wasn't doing well. 100%. It just flipped the other direction. Mitchell also had, you know, more snaps than Gus Bus. Justice Hill is still, it's funny because when you care of... Captain. Captain, Justice Hill. I believe it. When you care about fantasy football and you're a box score watcher, you think Justice Hill is not really...

50:52 ↗

He's not really involved because he's not doing anything. Because he's not involved. But he's super involved. Like he's, he is, I mean, he is, I mean, he, this is not, it's, it seems like, oh, this is a two way time share between Keaton, Keith and Mitchell, Gus Edwards. No, no, no, no, no. The leader is, is just this week he was. He was on the field for 42% of the snaps and he saw. Two targets. Exactly. That was his only opportunities. He's just, he's there. He's just there to ruin things for, pumping up the offense. Wide receiver duds on Monroe, we talked about it. I think you shake it off. He does have to play Denver, Minnesota, Dallas is not the way Denver and Minnesota defenses are playing right now. And then Dallas is a great defense.

You know, you just keep playing them, but those are not home run situations. I was going to bring that schedule up for golf, because golf to me is someone that I'm fine. If you want to move on from with that upcoming schedule, I don't want to hold on to Jared Goff and have him ruin my playoffs. Yeah, I mean, Stafford could be in consideration there. What about Joe Flacco or Jake Browning? Not Browning. Not Flacco. Okay. We sure? I'm going to have to look at the schedule. Mike Evans had six targets, just one catch. Oh, man. Don't worry about this one. The targets were there. He also caught a touchdown pass. He just put his hand down a millisecond. I mean, it was, yeah, I guess that would be milliseconds. Just before he's a second foot. Such a good catch. They'll be, he'll be fine. And they're fighting for a playoff spot. They're in right now, right?

I believe they're leading the division. Six and seven, six and seven, six and seven, one and whatever. Put those teams in order. Who's the actual best teams in your mind between the three, six and seven, Falcons, Saints, and then Tampa Bay. I would go Tampa Bay Falcons Saints, which I believe is how the actual division breakdown is. That's right. You don't think the Saints are the best team? No, I think they're the worst of the three. Okay. Jamar Chase, three for 29 on four targets. Yeah, I mean, there's nothing you could. We've seen this with Garrett Wilson. You're not going to have guaranteed great games always when you've got a backup quarterback. Well, it's still going to play. So this is a story, guys. This is the kind of story that has a man leaving town in the offseason, in my opinion. Stefan Diggs, 11 targets, four for 24, had a couple drops. First nine weeks, normal Stefan Diggs. Eight catches a game, 93 yards again. He was awesome.

From week 10 on, which is a long run now, four receptions and 39 yards a game, I don't think Stefan Diggs plays for the buildings here. Three of the last four games, he has not hit five fantasy points in half PPR. That is absolutely insane. Now, you got 11 targets. You had Sneed on you, and that is a great matchup. I believe he played the majority of snaps on Diggs, and I want to say he gave up three total yards to him. Like, he shut him down. But he's been doing that to everyone, all these great wide receivers. So it feels like a trend. I mean, what do you do? They're at home and you're not going to bench. We know what we do. Play Gabe Davis. The goose king, Gabe Davis, 48, or 42 routes run. Zero for zero for zero for zero. Not even a target. Oh, no, wait, two targets. Two targets. All right. Nice. Noel Brown did nothing. This is two gooses in a row. Noah, you shouldn't start it. Just missed on.
