Pump the Brakes, Championship Week Q’s + Great Eyebrows

Two of these terrible options. This is the championship. Yeah. It's a deep league, Jason. It sure is. He's in the title game. He's in. Hey, I support you. We all root for the underdog, which means I'm rooting for you, buddy. Sorry. It's low-hanging fruit. Now I'll help you out after I'm done. Yes. Now that I'm done torching you. Here's the thing. We love our audience. We like staying positive here.

We don't ever want to make fun of questions and stuff like that. So there's part of me that apologizes. But the other part of me knows how much you enjoyed that. You enjoyed laughing at that. So we're even. Totally. So is Josh Reynolds, Cortland Sutton and who? Corey Davis. Corey Davis. Does he give his scoring format? No. All right. So we've got Josh Reynolds playing in Arizona.

where I still like Jared Gough. I really do this week. I know that'll surprise people, Mike. We're kind of in disagreement on this, but I really like him. Arizona's got nothing to play for. Their head coach is pretty much a lame duck. The expectation is he'll be gone. You have Sutton, who has just been a huge disappointment. I've got them back to back in my rankings. He's playing against Oakland.

And then Corey Davis, who's been great in the games that Marks Mario, Mario has started, minus the last two weeks where Derek Henry has taken all the passing away, he's been good. But I expect it to be the Derek Henry show again. So what's tough is Corey Davis, his quarterback, three of the past five games has thrown 162 yards or fewer.

And they're winning. And they're winning because of Derek Henry. I mean, that's Davis is higher in my rankings, but that's a really difficult question. I don't mind Josh Reynolds against Arizona. Reynolds is in to me. He's the one. Yeah, Cortland Sutton is the harder one. He should be in. Great matchup. Great talent. He's the guy. But we talked about what's happening. Should be the guy. He's, he's not from targets. He's certainly not been the guy. I mean, he got five receptions, but they're just, they're not the valuable.

receptions that you should be getting with Cortland Sutton down the field because Case Keenham's unwilling to throw the ball down the field. So between Corey Davis and Cortland Sutton, I guess I go Cory Davis. I mean, Josh Reynolds, I think, has the, he could just get one catch for 40 yards and a touchdown and you'd be happy. Yeah, I lean Corey Davis and Josh Reynolds as well. But like you said, you're the underdog for a reason.

And I'm feeling that. This one's off of IG from Brandon. What to do with Jordan Howard in a dynasty league. This one's right at home. Pull up a chair next to the hearth and listen to Jason Moore as he talks about Jordan Howard on his team. Sit next to the fireplace with me. It's freezing. Warm your bunions. Oh, no. It's out. It's just cold. It's freezing near the Jordan Howard dynasty fireplace. All are welcome.

It sucks. I don't have a clue. But yeah, I am in the Dynasty League. I'm starting Jordan Howard. I'm in the championship with Jordan Howard. But my depth behind him is not much. And look, if I'm the Chicago Bears and Jay Gris, maybe you can weigh in on this, I would. Wow, you read my mind. Next year I'd draft a running back. They need...

A different... As the Bears? As the Bears. I believe they need a different style of running. And you can argue, what are you talking about? They're winning games. They've got, you know, the Thunder and Lightning, you know, Jordan Howard's getting 20 carries, wearing down defenses, and they're winning games. So hopefully they don't for Jordan Howard owners. But what you do with him is you hold him.

That's what I believe. I believe you just hold Jordan Howard, get the value you can get out of it, wait and see what happens in the draft. If I was able to trade Jordan Howard for good value, someone is very running back needy and I can get a solid wide receiver. You know, if for some reason I could trade Jordan Howard for Kenny Gulliday, I'll do that in a heartbeat. There's no way. I got a weird hypothetical because I was just thinking about.

my own team and my running back depth. This is not an official offer. Oh, okay. But all right. Hypothetically. Hypothetical. Also, your running back depth is the worst I've ever seen. Go on. Yeah. Would you trade in a dynasty league? I hate to bring his name up, but there's going to be a lot of questions. Would you trade Jordan Howard for Kareem Hunt? Oh, my goodness. Wow. A guy who may never play in the league again, but a guy who is also a top five talent at the position.

if he can come back to them. So, versus a player who may not even be on his team next year. Taking out any of the, taking out any of them, any of the off the field stuff, taking that out because if we've always been supporters of this. If you're morally against a player in, in fantasy, Joe Mixen, Tyree Kill, Kareem Hunt for their passing. Yeah, don't play with them. Don't play them. Don't play them. Don't support that. So I'm going to take this out and just make this fantasy advice.

I would not do that trade. And here's why. I believe in the now. I believe in winning championships now. I believe that a first round draft pick in this year's draft class is more valuable than a first round pick in next year's draft class, even if next year's draft class is supposed to be better. The reason is because one is a year earlier. One, you get a whole extra year of playing. When Kareem Hunt comes back, if he comes back. Big if. He's going to lose probably close to a year. So now I'm trading a guy.

that might come back two years from now. So, no, in that situation, philosophically, just fantasy football related, I would go Jordan Howard. And Kareem Hunt is not coming back to a starting workhorse face of the franchise role. You know what I mean? Right. Whoever's going to take a shot on him, he might work his weight there over time. But he's not just signing some great, we're giving you the ball a ton.

lead dog roll. Off of IG from M. Damakio. Doug Baldwin or Gus Bus Edwards. Ooh. That's a good one. That's easy. Is it? It is for me. And we'll talk about this tomorrow. But I ask the question right now. I'm going to talk about it more tomorrow. I'm going to answer the question now. All right. It's Doug Baldwin. Okay. Look, this is the same.

Same game. No, no, no. This is... Doug Baldwin's playing the Chiefs. Gus Edwards is playing the Chargers. Gus Edwards is a solid play. I like Gus Edwards. He's getting the ball enough. The team runs the ball fantastically. He's a solid play. But I think Doug Baldwin against Kansas City at home has much higher odds of a touchdown. He...

appeared healthy this last week. Obviously, I had a monster game two touchdowns this past week. Look, I'll just give a little preview. Doug Baldwin is my start of the week at the wide receiver position. Wow. I'm going back to my fantasy MVP. Wow. Who has crapped on me. Yeah, he has. Big time. But I believe this is the week where, look, Doug Baldwin's a great player. Nobody can argue that he's not a great wide receiver, has a great connection with...

Russell Wilson, he's been injured this year. They've been running the ball. Like it or not, you're probably, I would say, odds on very heavily that you're not going to just be able to run the ball all game against Kansas City. Because if Kansas City is scoring, which they've done on everyone, you're going to have to keep up. So I like Doug Baldwin this week. I brought this question of also so we can have a little bit of a further discussion on Gus Edwards.

If you haven't been paying attention, if all you're looking at is the box score, it's still been very good for Gus Edwards. This past week, 19, over 100 on the ground and a score. Yeah, the Kenneth Dixon. Except Kenneth Dixon out snapped Gus Edwards. The snaps have been trending down for Gus Edwards. So that was the question. No, I don't care at all. You out snap them three to one if I still get 19 carries.

I mean, the difference is, like, there are certain players that are on the field when they don't get the ball, and there's certain players that when they're on the field, they get the ball, right? Like, Tayson Hill comes in for very few snaps, but when he lines up in the back field, I saw this on the broadcast, it's a rushing play to Tayson Hill 90% of the time. On the season, 90% of the time when Tateham Hill comes in.

He's getting the ball, and he runs with it. Like, go figure. He is throwing a touchdown in the Super Bowl. Book it. Book it. Seriously. They've set this up the long con. 100%. You are correct. If the Saints are in the Super Bowl, taste them. Take that prop bat. Yes. Yeah, that'll be out there. But, yeah, look, Gus Edwards comes in to run the ball. Kenneth Dixon comes in when it's passing down, which means they might throw it to him.

He's not going to touch the ball that much. So, yeah, I'm not worried at all about Gus Edwards. Like him a lot. Fookland, before we close out today's show, want to thank today's sponsor Navy Federal.

The matchups are tomorrow, Jason. More are you prepared? I still need to do 100 push-ups. And 10 burpees. Oh, no. I really thought you were going to go there with me. The 100 push-ups.
