New Year's Eve MEGAshow + Week 17 Matchups, Motivation Levels - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/31

Maybe his week's different if he doesn't turn the ball over. I expect him to turn the ball over in this game, so I'm not as bullish on hurts in this game as maybe others are. Speaking to Antonio Gibson, earlier in the week, Scott Turner, the offensive coordinator for Washington, said Gibson's ready to handle a heavier workload. They were fully intending on giving him more this past week despite the toe injury, but the game scripts turned into a Smooch's game.

Yeah, so that Gibson should be a fine play. Yeah, you can play. I am a little bit more bullish on Hertz than you, Andy. I think the Eagles are going to win this game and upset the Washington football team. It kind of reminds me of a defense similar, you know, when Jalen Hertz, and obviously no game film on him yet, but he played against the Saints and their great pass rush, and that's a team with physical ability that was...

usually able to overcome physically the offense of the other team. And that's when Jalen Hertz and his mobility was able to, you know, it wasn't just scheme. And so this is kind of one of those, when Chase Young gets through the line, he's going to have a harder time chasing down Jalen Hertz than some of these immobile quarterbacks. And I think that could cause a few fits for the football team. I want something on the line in week 17. You want a water bet, though, a victor of this game? Oh, I would love that.

Waterbed. I love it because I want the football team to win. So if I lose the bet, I'm still happy. Yeah, you like those kind of bets. No Monday night football this week. So that's our final matchup, Bruxie? Oh, yeah. And just a reminder that Dallas Goddard did not practice on Wednesday. So if you're hoping you can count on him, better pay attention to the news. Would you play Zach Ertz? I would. I would. Okay, Zach Ertz or Jared Kuk. PPR, I would go with Zach Ertz.

Half PPR. I would go with Jared Cook. Okay. Yeah. Logan Thomas. Logan Thomas, man. Yeah. What a great story Logan Thomas has been. They were talking on nature to put him in a quarterback last week. Yeah. Yeah, that's not a terrible. But he can't throw to himself. But then they don't have a tight end. Yeah. The one time they put him in, like they did a trick play. I don't know if you guys saw it. Yes, I did. But Logan, he's not accurate.

But this, he's got a cannon. That ball. Yeah, he did. That ball just launched out. That was a Bruce Ariens pick, right? Yes. Yeah. Yeah, that was the drafting the Josh Allen that didn't turn out like Josh Allen. All right. Let's get into our next segment. Prop it like it's hot. Presented by Monkey Knife Fight. I'm going first. Don't look at my, don't look at mine. Okay. Okay. Have you guys seen it already? Okay. Calvin Ridley. Yeah.

I'm taking the more. What do you think his line should be? What would you... I already saw it, but where would I set the line? I would set the line at Calvin Ridley. 87 and a half. What? I would set the line for Calvin Ridley at like 105. 105 is where I would put it as well.

because he's just been, I mean, when Julio Jones is gone, the line is 96 and a half. I'm taking the more. Rulio 11 makes Ridley a must start. He's had six games without Julio. He's averaging 118 in those six games. Yeah, I get it. I would set the line, though, because this is a pretty good Tampa Bay situation, and they're playing for a lot. But Tampa Bay, as far as, like,

You know, guarding wide receivers, that's been a juicy matchup for wide outs. It depends which cornerback you're facing over there. Their net is a problem, but I just wonder what Ridley. And the net for the Falcons goes to Calvin Ridley. Sure. It's certainly how they, I get it. The more makes sense. I'll go Miles Gaskin. The line is set at 13.5 fantasy points from Miles Gaskin. That's...

Would you take the more on that, Jason? I would very much. Yeah, heavy rushing attack, huge passing game involvement. Bills have done not a lot against running backs and then have nothing to play for and might have games. That's Duncan on a kitty hoop. Yeah, that was a smash play. So Mike. All right. Well, Mason Rudolph, 201 and a half passing yards. I will take the less. Scientifically, Mason Rudolph sucks. Scientifically? Yeah. You can't under a microscope?

Yes, you cannot argue against it. He's not good. I don't know why he's still the backup for the Pittsburgh Steelers. But I will take the less due to the fact that he sucks. And anytime I can bet against Mason Rudolph, I'm going to take it. You can take your chance as well. Monkey Knife Fight this week. Ballerspicks.com. Go there.
