And you want to rub custom metal engraving. You're darn right. It leaves a couple marks. Crillic nonsense. Thank Fantasy Chance for sponsoring that segment. All right, let's move on. Pooped in his big boy pants. All right, I'm going to read a few quarterback pooped in their pants, names, and I want you guys to tell me who you're most concerned about. Andy Dalton, Tom Brady, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Derek Carr. What do you think? Brady. Yeah, Brady is the big one. Dalton, I wasn't expecting very much from this week.

Tom Brady is the biggest question of these guys. Brady has one touchdown pass in his last three games. And he hasn't looked great. Let's be clear about that. That's one touchdown pass total. Not one per game. Right. One total. He's averaging a third of a touchdown. There you go. Nice. And I want you guys as a second set of eyeballs for me. When I've been watching.

Tom Brady doesn't look great. His passes aren't on point like what we're used to seeing. Do you guys see that or I'm, I'm really stupid? He looks, I think he actually looks okay, but the offensive line is, it's been sad seven times. Is causing some problems for Tom Brady. And what we know about Tom is you get him one good lick in a game and he is an M&M.

He just absolutely crumbles and starts panicking and freaking out. So the previous, before these past three games where he had 10 touchdowns in the previous four games, his completion percentage in all of those games, 65, 77, 68, 69. In his last three games, his completion percentage, 64%, 62, and down to 51 in the Tennessee game. So there has been a statistical, you know, it's more than just the touchdowns. Now,

Getting Gronk back? They're really hoping that Gronk is ready after the buy. And then Edelman's banged up right now. Did we touch on that in the news, Brooks? No, we skipped that. Julian Edelman left the game with an ankle injury, and we don't have a further report. So we'll keep you up to date and what's going on with Edelman. But that is a cause for concern. They force fed Sony Michelle in this game to Tom Brady's detriment because he didn't have James Light on the field. I think that's why you saw the completion percentage so terrible is he did not have.

the reliable outlet that he needed. And, you know, moving into running backs, James White, Sony Michelle, they both stunk it up. The question that people have is what happened. Well, did you see the game score? I mean, that's what happened. They got beat. Yep. That's exactly what happened. And for Ryan Fitzpatrick, if you were disappointed, the dude threw for over 400 yards. This is why the touchdown is... 403 yards. The touchdown is so incredibly powerful.

for fantasy football. When a quarterback can throw for 400 yards, he did have two interceptions. And a fom. Oh, yeah, and the phone. But the fact that if he had no touchdowns, means he pooped his pants. I mean, that's insanity. It's the most, I believe they had the most yards as a team with three or fewer points since 1960. That makes sense. Honestly, when I saw that stat, I was shocked that it wasn't of all time. I can't believe there was a game in the 60s.

where they had three or fewer points with more yards than what happened. I don't even know how it's possible. Breaking news. Oh, it's a good one. Huge news. Do I need to find the mediocre signing? Yeah, there you go. That's a little bit more. We had it. Well, I mean, I don't think we have it right now. Brandon Marshall signing a one-year deal with the New Orleans Saints to replace Des Bryant. Are you interested? No. Not.

Well, maybe if you, maybe some... I'm not interested, but it's interesting that Treyquan had zero production in this last game. So am I interested? No. Am I interested in Treyquan? No. Brandon Marshall might be on your way over wire in a dynasty league. That's probably the only place I'm interested in just throwing him on the huge bench just in case. Yeah? Yeah. Did someone pick him up in our league? No, I don't know. I thought that's what you were in C-Way. No, no, I was not.

Um, okay. Well, yeah, I should add him in that league if he is, Mike, because all of my players go out every single week. They do. I don't have anybody left. I'm sure he's being owned, though. Yeah, he's, he's on. Okay. Thank goodness. Um, Jordan Howard, Marlon, Matt, Kenyon Drake, Tavon Coleman, Edo Smith, bad games for all five of those guys. Who are you most concerned about? Man, that, Jordan Howard, uh,

Was he one of the five you just right off? Yes, he was. I actually have. Oh, wait, are you on, are you finally on board? No, I have a clip from the, I've got some highlights. Yeah, let's hear it. Oh, no, here. No, that's not him. Here's the highlight clip. There it is. Yeah, I was waiting. Eleven carries for 21 yards. That is some inefficient running. And what's crazy is this offense is clicking.

This offense is manufacturing scores left, right and center. But here's the thing. They were last week, too, and he got two touches. We know, what we know about Jordan Howard is he's going to be the primary runner. So if it's a positive game script for the run and say the Chicago Bears are up like multi touchdowns against a very inferior rush defense, then Jordan Howard is going to get it done. Like yesterday? Yeah. Like yesterday against the Detroit Lions when they were up massive and Jordan Howard got 11 carries.

I am concerned with it. Alert. I am concerned with it, but I don't think you should crazy overreact to this because, I mean, you are doing probabilities. You know, this is still double digit carries. It didn't, it certainly didn't work out. I mean, he was a huge pooper without a doubt. But, I mean, you can't just go away from a guy getting double digit carries in a good offense. It's all about expectation. And Mike and I last week, we said the same thing. I mean, Jordan Howard is.

He's touchdown or bust. Yeah, and he's, you know, a flex running back. Jordan Howard. I'd rather have Tariq. Hold on this of years. Hold your noses. Jordan Howard right now is Isaiah Crowell. Double-digit carries. I mean, you can make the exact same narrative for Crowell. If he scores, you're super happy. If not, you got a guy who carried the ball 12 times for about 40 yards. What if you say it in reverse? Does that make Crowell feel good? Yes. Yeah.

It certainly does. What do you think about this Marlon Mac game? I mean, 12 for 29. Jaguars. Yeah, but I mean, just they were up big in this game, just 12 touches on the ground. Jaguars. I think it's a Jaguars thing. And the fact that Marlon Mac's not a tight end, certainly hurts him with Andrew Locke. I think that's one of the biggest problems. People were very unhappy with Kevin Coleman. Oh, as was I.

Some people said that if you're bad for Christmas, they'll leave you Coleman under the tree. Oh, boo. You open up, yeah. Cole man. Yeah, Cole man. He got a little bit shook early on in the game. So I'm assuming that had something to do with it because he was 11 for 44. Got stuffed on the goal line. I was expecting much, much better things from Coleman. Well, it was weird for the entire Falcons team. I mean, it's true.

It was so bizarre. I mean, they just, they got, they got their tail handed to them. They had a road poop. By the Browns. Yeah, they went on the road and took a dump. Collaboration. There you go. Wide receivers of concern. Mike Evans, three for 51, Jarvis Landry, just two for 22 in that win. Devin Funchis, three for 32. Doug Baldwin, five for 39. Doug Baldwin, you need to move on. And then Alshan, last week's pump the brakes.

Four for 48, Golden Tate is two for 19. He was barely on the field in the second half. He does not have enough reps with that team. And Trey Kwan's Goose. What do you, what's your biggest concern here? I think the biggest concern is Baldwin because he's the biggest letdown. He's a guy that you still keep on your roster. Or this last week, I'm sure many people found him on the waivers and picked him up. And it's one of those like, I think your team's probably better off.

not having him. That's not to say he can't have big games, have a good second half of the season. If things turn around, Russell Wilson looked very good. He was running around scrambling a little bit more this last week. But in a game where he was playing well, where Russell threw for touchdowns and scrambled around, he still only had 39 yards for Doug Baldwin. And more often than not, he's going to hurt you more than help you. So I would get him off your roster.

I want to talk about Jarvis. Six games since he's returned. He's been worth nothing. I want to talk about Jarvis. Because we have two games with the new offensive philosophy. And in those games, Jarvis Landry is seven targets and five targets. And before that, he had six straight double-digit target games. And if you haven't paid attention, Baker Mayfield is playing a lot better. I think he...

I saw the stat of he's the first rookie to have a perfect passer rating while throwing the ball more than 20 times in a game this past week. His third down completion percentage, I believe, was the highest in the league as well. So, I mean, and Jarvis is not having huge success. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Browns are starting to have success. He's in that, I mean, essentially you got to look at him as the.

Flex category. I mean, you have a ton of teams on by next week. The 49ers, Bills, Browns, Dolphins, Jets, and Patriots are all on by next week. So when you are listening to analysis of the good and bad on this show and into tomorrow's show, keep in mind that you have a lot of players on by. And it's not that you, I mean, with a lot of these players, it's not that you can't get a great week out of them, right? You can get a great week out of Tyrell Williams. You can get a great week out of Jarvis Landry.

Calvin Ridley. They happen. But they also can lay an egg. And that's why reliability is such a difficult thing to acquire at the position. You can play the matchup, but you get some pretty rough games. So tight-ins. Everyone wants to know what in the world to do with O.J. Howard, the one for 15. And David and Jok could just one for 18. So in a game where Baker was great.

Jarvis and Injoku, who you would assume are by far the best past catching options he has, combined for three total catches. Yeah. And now they're going into the buy week. Do you just move on? As a fantasy owner, are you holding David and Joku through the buy? Or are you moving on from David and Joku entirely? Wow. Because I think you have to do the latter. I think you have to let him go through the buy.

You probably do in the sense that, I mean, a lot of this depends on your roster, your bench size, things like that. It's hard to hold two tight ends this time of year. So really, if you've got a burner spot, hold on to them. But if you need to move on, I would not be, I wouldn't be holding David and Joku and dropping an important wide receiver or running back. I would agree with Andy in those situations.

Jimmy Graham just one catch this week. Hey, yeah. OJ Howard, Jimmy Graham. You prefer Howard rest of the season? Yes. Yeah, it sucked. That sucks 15 yards when your quarterback throws for over for Hyundai. That really, really sucks, but you just got to accept that. Take the L this week. Cody Parky, the kicker. Wait, we're talking about kickers? Well, for a minute because he converted two of four extra points and missed two field goals.

That's a bad day at the office. Is he still employed? As far as I know. I had someone tweet. He's employed as baby Josh is. I had someone tweet me that they started the Jets and Cody Parky. Oh no. At their kicker in defense. Oh, no. Yeah, if you started the Jets D or the Pats D this week, you did not get what you had bargained for. Hey, I started the Pats D. Everything was all right for this guy.

Oh, man. Yeah, I think that had more to do with the other players you played, Mike. Perhaps. But look, there are no guarantees in fantasy football or life, for that matter. Hey, before we close out today's show, want to thank today's sponsor Omaha Steaks Foot Clan.
