Starts of the Week + Week 14 Breakdown, Bread Pudding! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/9

Evan Ingram is, look, I didn't want to go easy pick here at tight end. The chargers are absolutely brutal against the tight end position. We are still searching for meaning and purpose at the tight end. We looked at stats yesterday. There's the top three tight ends and then, or sorry, the top two. And then there's like a 14 point gap between like three and 10 at the position. They're all the same. So you are.

You're essentially streaming the position, and I think that this is a week where you're going to see the necessity of Ingram against the Chargers defense that allows – you know, you talk about run funnel. They also are a tight-in funnel. They protect the deep routes and the outside, and tight-ins manage to score against them. So I'm going to take the matchup, and I can't wait to see how many passes of an Ingram drops. I'm going –

Dawson Knox after the down week in the Snow Bowl last week. Oh, man, he had a disaster of a week. He had a couple of drops, hard to catch passes, but he could have won the game for them in the end zone if he just comes down with that ball. He's still being targeted. He's still on the field, 93% snaps. Since he got back from the injury, he's had two top 10 tight-in weekly performances. Tampa Bay.

is allowing the highest opponent pass rate in the NFL, the seventh most fantasy points to tight ends. I actually personally, you know, two great defenses in the Buccaneers and the Bills, I'm going to take the over in that game. I think the two great quarterbacks wins. A lot of touchdowns flying back and forth, and that spells success for Dawson Knox and probably Grunk, too. My tight end stream of the week, it's tonight. Cong, Cong, baby. Yeah. Tyler Conglin. Thank you.

From streamable to a mister necessary, nine targets last week. When Adam Thielen went down right at the very beginning of the game, he averages a healthy 28 routes per week. He was already, you know, he was already a streamable option. But they really will need him. And the Vikings will put up points against this Pittsburgh Steelers secondary. And Conklin's averaging 10 yards per reception. So it just takes a few.

You get a couple of those play action opportunities near the end zone, and conch becomes a primary weapon with Adam Thielen no longer there. I'm streaming them tonight.

Jason Moore's, ironclad, locked and loaded, 100% guaranteed boom, boom, kicker of the week. Can you just remind us where we're at?

I do feel like that's important. Last time. Last week on the boom boom. Um, uh, I, after the dump on the mega, he snapped at my head. Um, and so I got rescued by Greg Joseph in a hang lighter. Okay. Oh, that's right. Okay. Proceed. Okay. Flying. I went full Julie Andrews floating down like Mary Poppins. I crop dusted that landing and was greeted by the Chargers Dustin Hopkins.

Now, does he have clothes on? I believe I did. I thought he got some shorts or something. I think I'm clothes. And what, what does that mean, the landing? Oh, you don't know a good crop dusting? Well, my question is, you were greeted by, uh, uh, this kicker. Mm-hmm. Did you crop dust him? Oh, I mean, yeah, of course. I, I'm, I'm crop dusting the landing. He is at the land, the landing, and he is. So.

breathing my innards. So you're staying in the potty humor, right? I have never left. I thought, see, I know what the traditional definition of that is. I just thought maybe it had a different meaning on the landing. You're just saying as you landed, there was a remainder. He was just doing a little tutute-toot.

It wasn't little, but thank you. Okay. It cropped us the heck out of that. Now, can we give two beats before we thank Pristine Auctions, just so I could separate the contest? One, $1,000 to $1,000.
