Week 11 Studs & Duds + Monday Punday, Rapid Cold Takes - Fantasy Football Podcast for 11/22

could be the only reason you lose a game to Jacksonville. But Alex Collins was awful. They tried to use Rashad Penny. I would avoid, I mean, you're avoiding, like, everybody except for, like, Metcalf on Lockett, I guess. I say, can you confidently start Alex Collins as a running back two? No. No. Okay. I don't think so.

That stinks. He is a... You can do that without confidence. Yeah, I was going to say he's a shoot. I have to start Alex Collins option. Dearness Johnson did not have a good game. Five for 26 on the ground, no targets. That was disappointing. There was some hope that maybe he'd be flexible. Darrell Williams, just one catch. He was not flexible either. No, I mean, Clyde Edwards-Alair and David Montgomery, there was a lot of questions when they come back because they're...

Their backups were admirable, and they said your services are no longer required. You mean Nick Chubb? No. Oh. I was just talking about it. I mean, that's true, too, for Deerrannis. I was just mentioning when Khalil Herbert and Darrell Williams were so good. But 100%, I mean, you're right with Deerunis Johnson. You could throw all three into there. Yeah, I guess that's what we are seeing. The incumbent takes it all back.

C.D. Lamb, got concussed. Disappointed, obviously. Michael Gallup, 10 targets, but just 5 for 44 on the 10 targets. Very disappointing, but I will definitely play him against Detroit. Him or Cedric Wilson? Oh, definitely Gallup. Every time they threw to Cedric Wilson, I felt like, I think Gallup's just better. I think both of them are interesting on Thanksgiving. Yeah. D.K. McCaff, just 4 for 31.

against Arizona. Michael Pittman, just two for 23. Yeah. I mean, you knew it was going to be rough, but that's very disappointing. But on the other hand, when you're running back is tearing up the Buffalo Bill's defense, why throw it? T. Higgins, two for 15. Very disappointing. Makes it really hard to. I mean, Jamar Chase would have been on this list if he didn't get a touchdown.

Yeah, I mean, T. Higgins over the last all the year has had one performance in the top 20. So I think you can just be done with that experiment. There's no real need to put them into your lineup. Also, I'm looking, I want to correct something we've been saying because I'm looking at the schedule. I was a little confused for a second. On Thanksgiving this coming week, the Cowboys do not play the Lions. No, they play the Raiders. Correct. And the Lions play the Bears.

So just an update for that. Oh, okay. Have we been saying that wrong? Yeah. Oops. At least I have. It's Monday. What are you going to do? Devante Smith, four for 61, six targets. It's all right. Not bad. Brandon Cook's just two for 18. Brandon Cook's confidence levels right now with Tyrun Taylor. That was so bizarre. I mean. Two bad weeks. Well, they're really just this. Yeah. It was 29 the week before. I mean, and they were they were up. It was a very rainy game.

If you got to see Coach Vrable on the sideline, he looked like the saddest man in the entire world. His hair was just drenched. Andrew Siciliana got me with the, someone get this man a hat, quote, because his hair. Like the giff of, um, oh, oh, the, shoot, sorry, I lost the reference, but the, the time, who's the time traveler? It's been, the show's been on for him. Doctor who?

Yes, the doctor, I think it's a Doctor Who gift of him like crying in the rain. Oh, yeah, I can picture that. Okay, thank you. That's what Mike Brable looked like. I want to know, we need an answer to this one. Emmanuel Sanders with another stinker. He has been bad. Over the last four weeks, he's on pace for about 500 yards, no touchdowns. You saw Dawson Knox get back involved into this game. I mean, is it over? Like, do you put him on your bench? Was this a...

Possibly, it's difficult to really say because Gabe Davis got a little bit of action. Josh Allen played poorly. Yes. The passing, everyone sucked. Like, Stefan Diggs came through for a good fantasy day because he caught two touchdowns. I think he had four receptions and just not very many yards. So, like, it was. Gabe Davis, 105 yards two weeks ago. Like, yeah, so Stefan Diggs was four receptions for 23 yards. Yeah.

The passing attack for the bills, I mean, the, the, the, the bill's offense, I believe, and, and I think that the bills who are amazingly not leading the division now, the Patriots are leading the division, I think if the playoffs started a day, I'm not sure the bills are in, which is mind-blowing. Really? I will, I will, I know, right? Like, that's crazy, but I think at best, they're seventh.

That's something you can find out. Yeah, I will check that. But my point is, they are falling apart. Josh Allen threw for 200 yards in this game. What's funny is the number one, like. They're currently the seventh seed. So they are in that bonus spot right now. They're in the bonus spot with the player with the best NFL MVP odds going into the weekend was Josh Allen. Josh Allen was plus 210 over any other player in the NFL. And he's not playing like an MVP. No.

This has been an okay year for Josh Allen, and their defense and stuff have figured it out. Now, he has the ability to level up in a given week and win a week for you. But, yeah, disappointing performance for him in a game that wasn't competitive. You know, they couldn't stop Jonathan Taylor and they couldn't bounce back. You thought the game script would have led to lots of value for Allen, Diggs, Sanders, Knox in the second half, and it didn't happen.

So as far as Emmanuel Sanders goes, that might be something that you need to chase the offense bending in the right direction before you put him back in your lineup. Yeah, I can agree with that. It was, to be fair, it was also raining there pretty heavily the second half when they were trying to come back. Dan Arnold, no targets. What? That was insane. What? 65% of snaps, 23 routes, no targets. Agnew went down to injury. I have it on good authority. He was wearing an invisibility cloak. Did someone mess?

With him? Did someone mess with the postman? Oof. I mean, I don't. What happened? What happened? Makes no sense. He still played 65% of the snaps. You look at the last several weeks, 10 targets, seven targets, seven targets, and then zero, nothing. Was this just Kyle Shanhan and the 49ers saying, well, that's their best option? And let me try to take them away. It's hard. It's one of those like.

Do you just throw it out because he was on a role of such target volume? Probably. Yeah. And against Atlanta this coming week, yeah, I'm throwing it out. T.J. Hockinson, six for 51. The way I'm picturing the Hawkinson situation is he's hungry. And he shows up and there are just, every week, just scraps on the table. And he is diving on the table. And he is trying to get a full belly. But there's just not enough there.

That's boating well for this next matchup. Dude plays on Thanksgiving. I mean, you want to eat to get yourself some turkey. Problem is the person carving that turkey is Tim Boyle. And that man can't use a knife. What an unfortunate last name. I mean, I'm sorry. You've got Blow? Yeah. That's one of the plagues, right? We can call him the plague. Right. Oh, the plate. Yeah. I'd like to go with David Blow and.

And the Driscoll. I mean, their backups are providing us with content. Also, why is, why is, look, Tim Boyle could be a delightful fellow. Why is he a backup? Why is he in the NFL? Why is he a backup in the NFL? I mean, just given his college pedigree. You mean where he threw a touchdown? A touch, yeah. Wait, he had one. Is that true? I saw someone say that. Let me vet. Yeah, I mean, he had a.

Yeah, here's his collegiate statistics. Oh, thank you. Three seasons, one touchdown, 13 interceptions. Yeah, NFL bound. How is that guy a backup? His final season at Connecticut, he had no touchdowns and two interceptions. Draft him. No, I believe it was on the basis of a strong arm, an NFL arm. Ah, okay. So he was one of those players. I think the Packers actually brought him into camp. I think he was originally a Packer and.

It was because he could throw the ball, not necessarily to his team. Wait a minute. And that was, so this last year in Connecticut was 2015? Yeah. So he's been hanging around as a professional for that long? Yeah, I mean, he didn't do anything in this game to make me think he belonged there. But, uh, man, that's what happened. That's, this guy's living the dream. He's the one feast. He's the one feeding Hawkinson, so beware. Yeah. That is, that's the job.

Be this guy. Be the backup quarterback who never has to do anything. It feels like. I mean, you got to practice, but you don't have to go out and get damaged in a real NFL game. You just collect paychecks. I know the show's running along, but it does feel like Tim Boyle found a like. Good for you, Tim. He found a name placard that got him into the building at one. And then he's just been playing, he's been playing a quarterback on the side. Like, no, no, no, I'm the backup. I mean, and it's worked. He must be such a team guy.

I mean, his attitude of practice just must be infectious. They're paying him $2.5 million. He's got the best job. What? What? Could you imagine playing college football? What? Throwing one touchdown to your career and being like... One touchdown. I can take it to the next level. One touchdown. This man is making... But, but, but wait. He had a 48% completion percentage. Oh, okay. Millions of dollars.

If he wants to come on the show and tell us how he worked this out, I'd love to know because I think I could do it. I could. You could throw one touchdown of 14 interceptions. You've seen me play flag football. I could go one and 13 ratio. Yeah. I mean, this guy is my hero. Tim Boyle. Tim Boyle is Thanksgiving legend coming up. So anyways, Hawkinson. Kyle Pitts, Hunter Henry, Dalton Schultz, Tyler Conklin, they were all.

pedestrian weeks. Pets got shut down by the shutdown defense. I want them to get Cordero back bad. Yeah, they do as well. And they need, he is going to be so incredibly good when there isn't only him to stop. Or when he plays like this upcoming week, a team where when they focus on him, they probably still cannot completely stop him. Like Jacksonville? Yeah. And Tampa's a good, a decent matchup there at Titan, too. Although.

Again, if they're smart enough to stop him, maybe. All right, any other duds you guys want to talk about? I mean, Hunter Henry, he didn't get a touchdown. And that's, yeah, this is, this is who he is. Every week he's a dud, but he's just got a touchdown. So he's good. And then Dalton Schultz, he, he's still, he may be missed or necessary on. Yeah, that's what I was going to say is, Dalton Schultz, eight targets, six for 53.

I mean, that doesn't, that doesn't submarine your tight-in position, but he's going to be extremely necessary on Thanksgiving if those two number one weapons are called. Yeah, I'm calling the doctor as my start of the week already right now. Dr. Schultz, he will. So you were workshopping this while we were watching the games. Yeah.

And I found it to be delightful. I wasn't sure if it would make it onto the show. But you're going forward with Dr. Schultz. So the podiatrist, Dr. Schultz. That's exactly right. And he's going to have a great Thanksgiving. I don't even know what to say. Now, that's a play on Dr. Schwartz. No. See, that's why I don't like it. It's because it's too much of a departure. Schwartz is the eye doctor guy in Arizona. Yeah, no, it's Scholes.

Dr. Sholes. Sholes. Dr. Shultz. It's not good. It's great. It's terrible. It's not good. It's great. Yeah, the Dr. Schultz is, I'm calling him now as my start of the week. It's all the buttons I got for that. I've got one more. Yeah, buddy. To introducing Dr. Shultz. I'm not doing it.

I will not. The Foot Clan will. And because you introduced it, I'm going to be spelling L-O-O-O-T-H for one week. Well, the Foot Clan will bring their pitchforks out. He didn't get Luth late. He did. He did. Although before that, it was not pretty. No, they went back to Ebron. Yeah. But Eric Ebron is heard again. All right. By the way, last night, my son was down 90 points to the Jonathan Taylor manager.

going into the game and he tells me, and my son, you know, he's, he's 10, so eternal optimist and fantasy. Realist, he is not. He hasn't been broken yet. Yeah, he hasn't been, he hasn't been destroyed over time. So he goes into the Monday night game or the Sunday night game and he goes, I still could do it. He's going to happen. He's down 90. He's got Herbert and he's got Echler and he's got Mike Evans and his opponent still has Sequin. And I'm like, dude, go to bed. Like you,
