Ryan Tannenhill, they're playing for this division. He has weapons. Houston, it's one thing to say, hey, you're going to, you know, like Philly really wants to play defense, but they can't. They're secondary can't do it. Houston really wants to play defense. They really can't. Not very often. Ryan Tannenhill has a tank, and that's not fair, you know?

41:24 ↗

He gets to throw it to a tank. We're back to a tank? Yeah, we're back to it. Andy pointed out. It was way better. Yeah, I'm going to follow up here. So I was doing all my research this morning and I found other quarterbacks that are options. I brought up Gardner, Menshoe. I actually think Eli Manning this week has, you know, against the dolphins. I think he's actually a streamer and Jimmy Garapolo.

41:48 ↗

Would be a guy would play over both of those options against Atlanta. Jimmy's been getting it done. You've seen the weapons now emerging. Debo looks so legit and, you know, obviously George Kittle is amazing and Emmanuel Sanders has been great. But my, you know, it's playoff time. My streaming quarterback of the week is definitely Ryan Tannahill. That's who you need to start.

42:12 ↗

if he is out there and available. He's just been amazing. And so that, you know, I'm going to echo Andy, but yeah, it's, it's Ryan Tannenhill, uh, but we're trying to give you some other options just in case Dan Hill isn't there. And my streaming quarterback of the week, it's Baker Mayfield. This is the Mike Wright special too. Mike is never afraid to bring the fire with a player that just underperformed if the matchup says you should. Yes. And much like Jared Goff had his.

42:41 ↗

where it looked like people were calling for Jared Gough to be benched, and then he played Arizona, and looks like Gough kind of got his groove back after he destroyed them. The matchup is so great. Arizona is on pace to give up nearly 5,000 passing yards and 39 passing touchdowns. That would be the second most achievement unlocked. Second most yards allowed of all time, and the third most passing touchdowns allowed of all time if they hit those marks. Baker is good enough.

43:11 ↗

to bounce back against this Arizona defense and put up some serious fantasy. Yeah, I mean, everyone is in the NFL. Not, not Duck. That's okay. Look good. Duck was too low. And I didn't want to play Vance. I didn't want to play Duck, regardless of the matchup, just because of how that offense worked. But Baker with, with his wide receiver one, Jarvis Landry.

43:33 ↗

and with Injoku actually getting back on the field and maybe Beckham does something. Here's what I love about the Arizona Cardinals and the Steelers last week is that Duck was bad and Vance was bad and Benny Snell was bad and James Washington was bad and they just destroyed him. Just destroyed the Cardinals.

43:51 ↗

Yeah. Not really, though. The Cardinals self. The Cardinals had a chance to win the game at the end. But I get what you're saying. Part of the recipe for matchups has to be how the team wins the game. And Pittsburgh wins their games differently than most teams in the league. Baker is going to be able to do what he wants against Arizona. So I don't mind that one at all. Defense versus offense. Presented by Head and Shoulders and Walmart.

44:21 ↗

All right, defensive streamers. These are pretty important this week. I'm going to go with Philadelphia's defense against the Washington Redskins. We almost had Dwayne Haskins pulled this past week. And that would be bad for this streaming opportunity. I don't know if he was more so going to get pulled. It was banged up. Yeah, it was injury. But Dwayne Haskins is the king of sacks. He loves them.

44:50 ↗

He needs a few every quarter. They fuel him to perform mediocrely. Sorry, that was a huge compliment and not a word. Philadelphia against Washington feels extremely safe. They're one of the matchups I'm going with in a couple of playoff leagues. Yeah, I mean, just look at the rest of the season and whenever you see Washington there put the defense against them until Case Keenum gets in. For me, I'm going with the Browns.

45:20 ↗

against Arizona. We, you know, we just talked about how Arizona, I am. Really? Three weeks in a row. Three, or the last three games for Arizona, because they had a buy week in there. They have given up a top five DST performance. Oh. Kyler Murray loves taking sacks. If you got, if you got, you like, points for sack yardage, oh my goodness, because he likes 20, 30 yards. He likes some deep.

45:49 ↗

Yeah, look, the little bitty baby boy has been running away, has been throwing picks. It's not been good in Arizona. Since thereby, they've had two of their worst games of the season. The vibes are bad. And I think that the Brown's defense can get it done. Checking out the streamfinder tool that we have for supporters at join the foot.com. You would see over the last month, Arizona has been the third best matchup for DSTs.

46:15 ↗

The number one matchup is the Carolina Panthers. So I will be taking the Seattle Seahawks as my streaming defense at home. Kyle Allen, he has some, he flashes here and there, but he also turns the ball over. I like the Seattle Seahawks this week. Yeah, yeah, I do too. This segment brought to you by Head and Shoulders and Walmart. Head and Shoulders, offense for great hair, defense against Flakes, visit Head and Shoulders. Walmart sweeps.

46:45 ↗

for your chance to win tickets to Super Bowl 54. Oh, man. You guys want to do a little mail bag? Yes. Oh. Mailbag. All right. You can go to the website, the Fantasy Footballers.com. Click the submit a question button or dial our voicemail hotline 302464 TFFB. Keith in Portland, Oregon, I was eliminated from the playoffs in my Keeper League this week. Scored my season low.

47:17 ↗

Are there any moves I should make to make next year easier, aka pick up injured players like AJ Green? Oh my goodness. You're in a keeper league and AJ Green's out there? Yeah, you should do that. I don't blame them. But sure, no, I would pick up. I would. I would absolutely pick up AJ Green in a keeper league depending on how many. I mean, it obviously depends on your situation, your keepers. But put it this way. I mean, we talked waivers. AJ Brown is out there. I would much rather.

47:47 ↗

much rather than a keeper league pick up a j brown than i would a j green and it has nothing to do with colors that's fair uh this joke just keeps going can i trust a j wince dom in ottawa canada bonjour carson wins as well what did i say a j wince that's a new player yeah everybody's a jay i don't think you can trust him

48:12 ↗

because he's brand new. No, Carson Wentz. Sorry, can I trust Carson wins against Washington in my semi-final game? Would you consider streaming in his place if not? It's so tough because he's got... Look, Dan Hill for sure. Tanyhill 100% I would stream ahead of Carson wins. Trust is a difficult thing to bestow upon a player targeting Greg Ward and JJ R Sega Whiteside. And that's it.

48:41 ↗

You know, it's Zach Ertz and everybody else. So trust is hard to bestow. Maybe Nelson Aguilar is back out there and that helps. But do you pick up out Agilor? Yeah. I mean, we didn't bring him up in the waivers. He's injured and he sucks. But the reality is in the games that Agalore has been the only wide receiver that's pretty much active, he's actually balled out. This is a great matchup. But what is interesting here, and this is.

49:08 ↗

It's going to be so tough to trust Wins. And if you start Wins, don't watch the game. Don't do it to yourself. I started Wins in, you know, our dynasty league last night. Wins and Winston, just don't watch it. It's just terrible to watch. But the Washington Redskins are most...

49:26 ↗

beatable at the tight end position. So this, you know, it's one of those things. If you're, if Dallas Goddard and Zach Gertz are your primary weapons, it's a pretty good matchup for that. So I think there are better streaming options like Tanna Hill, but if you can't grab one, then I think you're probably stuck with Wins. All right. I want to bring this topic up because I saw amidst all of the Twitter reaction to Carson Wince and various players. I saw, uh, ESPN, Mike Clay. Did you see his rant last night?

49:56 ↗

I did not. Well, it's a rant very similar to the kind that Jason has made a couple of times this year. And it was basically the fact that, you know, had the most points scored in the league, didn't get a buy, had the most points scored this week in the playoffs except for one player. So he got eliminated. And it was a bad beat vent. And it was basically he makes the statement, the bold statement, that we need to make all play the standard format.

50:26 ↗

which I do not agree with. I understand why he's saying it. He's saying it because his team was really good and it didn't get what it deserved, so to speak. He still would have been out on all, though, right? No, all play means you play every opponent. Right. Every week. Someone beat him this week. But doesn't... No, all play would be that, you know... You would go all play, like, so you wouldn't even have a playoff format?

50:52 ↗

I don't know if he inferred the playoff format, but obviously during the regular season, you play every team every week, so your record is 9 and 3 this week or 10 and 2. I have no problem at all with the all-play method. I just, I think it's an interesting take, an interesting auxiliary type of league, but the head-to-head format for me when it comes down to it is just, it's so great. That's like the reason.

51:21 ↗

Why, I didn't say a part of the reason why we care so much is because it's head to head. The highs are, are euphoric. The lows are, you are in the depths of hell. People forget that the extremes of emotion are why you do things in life. Yeah. Right? That's why you do things you enjoy. I have. Because it actually matters. Your joy is extreme.

51:46 ↗

I mean, I have had the, in our league of record where I was out of the playoffs because of Philip River's stupid interception, and I scored the most points this week if I was in. I'm not going to open a vote next year for any change in structure. You know, we've talked about that. I've kind of, I've even toyed with it. And I realize that we've been in this league for, I don't know, 15 years. And it's amazing. And we love it.

52:13 ↗

And we have fun and bad beats are a part of the game. The highs are high, the lows are low. Fantasy football is immensely popular the way it is. Don't dumb it down. Yeah, but the lows are low. And that's why that feeling is there. Because you, here's the real truth, Jason. I hate to say this to you. But he's going to do it anyway. I feel like I'm going to have to listen. He doesn't really hate it. Your team was really good. I like where it's going. Okay.

52:43 ↗

That's all. Oh, dude. You put a good team together. Yes, thank you. That's the truth. The truth is you put a good team together, and you lost. And that was a bad beat. And it's made for great content on the show. You're welcome. And it's made for great content in my life. Sort of. There was part of me, listening to you, because you needed like six points from Carson Wentz to win yesterday, there was part of me that hoped that Jason won every game he plays in fantasy in every league.

53:11 ↗

for the rest of his entire life by like 100 points. Yes. Because I don't know if I can take. But even if that happens and we know that it's going to happen, he will still whine and complain. And that's how he's going to lose. Let me illustrate this. Yesterday, there was four minutes left in the third quarter. He was ahead. The other, his opponent had Alshan. So Alshan's gone for the game. Jason's winning with four minutes left in the third quarter. And he is.

53:40 ↗

moaning about possibly losing over the remaining 16 minutes of the game. Carson with a lead would have to like turn the ball over four times for him to lose. Exactly. It's nothing like the Phillip River situation whatsoever. At this point. Rivers had one drive left for an interception. At this point in the game, we're almost to the fourth quarter and he's barely scored six points. He's fumbled twice already. So.

54:05 ↗

Yeah, he could fumble again or throw an interception and then he... And then you have a quarter and you'd still be winning. No, I was up by like point two at that point. Oh, it drove me absolutely crazy. So I hope you win every game by like your opponent never scores. I don't. Thank you. Yeah. All right. Me too.
