people to playoffs the most because he's been really good very consistent he the point is is like there's a lot of players that are that pooped in their big boy pants that they might not have been in the playoffs or on the roster outside of quarterback now chris godwin chris godwin we expected a huge week from huge he's been averaging what if i told you

55:26 ↗

Oh, go ahead. Anytime Deshaun Jackson has been out of the lineup, he's average over 100 receiving yards and three quarters of a touchdown, and he was not there. What if I told you he had 10 targets, Jason? I would say, well, that's what he should have. That's great. That's a lot of targets. That's a lot of targets. With his great hands, I'll bet he was 8. 74 in a touchdown, yeah. Yeah, and maybe a touchdown. One for 10. But how many targets to get to the one for 10?

55:54 ↗

Yeah, 10 targets, Jason. So he was 8 for... No, no, no, no. I'm confused. Yeah, listen. Nine of his 10 targets. Get this. Nine. Uncatchable targets. Wow. Those shouldn't count as targets. Like, legitimately, uncatchable targets should not count as a target for the wide receiver. There should be like a fourth slash and then be like... Oh, yeah. He had four, you know, he had two...

56:20 ↗

Catchable targets, nine uncatchable targets. Well, because those targets mean that his catch rate was 10%, Jason. 10% is not good. But his catch rate was actually 100% if nine of the 10 were uncatchable. Yeah, all the ones he didn't catch, he couldn't catch because they weren't catchable. Thanks, James. Adam Humphrey's eight targets, just four catches. Mike Evans, four catches in 86 yards. They have Baltimore next week. That's the problem. That is no point in Baltimore. I think.

56:48 ↗

The question fantasy owners are going to have is, do you play Mike Evans next week in Baltimore? I guess you have to? You probably do have to play him, but I'm going to pivot hard away from everybody there. Cooks, Woods, Reynolds, if you were a ram, you were a sad man. It's going to be real bright days. You are back in L.A. next week against Philadelphia's banged up secondary. I think it's a get right. Jared Goff.

57:18 ↗

Woods, cooks, they're all going to have great games next week. Anthony Miller? Anthony Miller, nothing on one target. Taylor Gabriel, three catches. Alan Robinson, fine for 42. Look, every wide receiver in that Sunday night football game was terrible because every quarterback in that Sunday night football game was terrible. I mean, Mitchell Chubisky, the amount of just errant misses.

57:46 ↗

everywhere. I mean, his two interceptions were he had the wide receiver. He had him open. It was a great easy read and the easy throw, except he overthrew him by four yards and went right into the opponent's belly. Philadelphia, their offense is broken right now. Golden Tate, one for seven, 20 and 52 snaps. You can't have confidence in that. Zach Gertz, just five for 38 on eight targets. Dallas's defense is really good, but Philly's offense is really bad. So those two things met.

58:15 ↗

And what do you do with? So Carson Wins actually was okay, right? Didn't he throw? I think he threw three touchdowns. It ended up there. I believe so. He started the game just horrific. So sometimes you get sued. Yeah, no, you're right. 228 and three. So he was okay against a very difficult Dallas defense in Dallas. Next week he goes to play the Los Angeles Rams. I was just talking about that. In L.A. High score. I'm sure Vegas will have this. What do you do? I don't know. I don't like him.

58:45 ↗

I don't like him in L.A. Akeed Talib is back. Defense of line is making plays. Their defense has been broken. There's something dysfunctional about the Philadelphia offense. I don't know if it starts up front. I don't know if it starts with the lack of consistency at the running back position. They don't look the same. And I'm not going to get on that. It's week 15. I'm not going to get on the old. They're getting it right this week train. If I don't have Zach Ertz.

59:10 ↗

I don't have confidence elsewhere. What's crazy is I've seen some stuff about the difference in play calling for Doug Peterson between last year, the Super Bowl run, how great they were. And this season. Conservative or what is it? Yeah, both conservative and also like the choice selection at certain down and distances between run and pass and the efficiency of both. Last year who's like one of the best at doing it the most efficient way. And this year he's basically one of the worst. I mean, some of it's just the players.

59:38 ↗

It's one of the things I love about the NFL, though, is that it is a very fine line between good and bad and bad in the NFL. It doesn't matter how set up a team can be, they can surprise you. It's not like the NBA where the bad teams stay bad forever and the good teams are good forever. Zach Erz, Jimmy Graham, Vance McDonald, David Njoku, Trey Burton, C.J. Uzama, Chris Herndon, Matt LaCost, the poopers at the tight-in position. Ertz was the big one that hurt. Jimmy Graham, wouldn't you know, can't catch as well with a broken thumb.

60:08 ↗

No, it was very difficult for him to have his thumb not broken in this last game. Yeah. He was broken the entire game. And whenever he had a pass and he went to catch it, he had a broken thumb. Yeah. Or finger. I don't know which finger. I don't want to put bad juju on his thumb if his thumb is fine. But he certainly had a broken digit. Did you give him up on Trey Burton now? No. No. I gave up on Trey Burton a long time ago. I can't.

60:37 ↗

What is dead may never die. All right. No, it would be impossible for me to give up what is what I don't have. At home against Green Bay next week. Yeah, I'm not saying that Trey Burton is someone you can't play, but I've given up the hope. Yes. The expectations are gone. There's only guess work and dart. You're more of an Ian Thomas guy. You're more of an Ian Thomas guy. Yeah, I guess I am.

61:01 ↗

Yeah, I guess I am. I guess I am. Hey, uh, fuck Glenn, this holiday season, send the gift of Omaha Steaks. Go to Omaha. Omaha. Go to Omaha. Go to Omaha Steaks.com. Enter the code fantasy into the search bar. Just search.
