MEGALODON Episode – Week 12 Matchups, Turkey Day Awards, Starts, & TONS More! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 11/25

Is it a morning game afternoon? Yeah. See? Well, it does make, uh, it does make sense to move it to Sunday and hopefully we get, we get a game. Uh, okay, that's big news. Remember back at the beginning of the, uh, megal, Megalodon, that was a long time ago. We didn't know. I can't remember that far. We didn't know about that. No. We, we have a, uh,

We have a clock in the studio that helps us see how long the show has been and where we're at. It's dead. It's gone. Yeah, no, I ran out of time. No time left. So Robinson is kind of a floor play at wide receiver. Otherwise, the other side of the ball, Rogers, Jones, Adams, even though the matchups difficult, it doesn't change whether you play them. They're all in your lineup. Yes. Alan Lazard. No, I'm not yet.

Not yet. Yes. Tunyon is what I wanted to point out. I think that this is a good matchup. You've got a great offense here in the Packers and a great defense here in the Bears. And where the Bears have been the most vulnerable, the weakest is at the tight end position. I think Aaron Rogers will find that and exploit that. So when you're looking at all of the mid to crap level tight ends out there, then you're saying which one do I stream? I would pick Tunyon as one of the better options this week. All right.

When you're sifting through the toilet. Which one shifting through the toilet. Well, yeah, I mean, think about it. You're going for gold. It's like panning for gold. Why do we both think of that? All right. That's gross. And yet reminding me of a story that Mike told long ago. Oh, I have so many poop stories. I don't know. About your kids and a.

A grated drain. Yeah, where I had to cheese grate the turkey. All right. Seattle Seahawks at 7 and 3. Taking on the 3, 6 and 1 Philadelphia Eagles. Seahawks are 5.5 point favorites, 51 point over under. This is a wild card matchup last year where Seattle beat the Eagles 17 to 9 or wins left early if you remember that game. Seattle's going to win this football game. They should.

Russell Wilson, yeah, you play him. Metcalfe Lockett always. But Chris Carson. Yeah, all right. Chris Carson is going to play football this week. Are we excited about that? Yes, we are. I'm super excited about that. He will be started. What about the tight-in position? Greg Olson is out for the year. Jason's still got the energy at the end. It's the music, honestly. I'm so happy you play this. I'm ready to go for another two hours.

I got to turn it off, don't I? You do. I will say this. I just, I checked the schedule. I don't think Andy knows how to turn this off. I don't. Oh, there, there it is. I was on the wrong screen. I'm like, I can't stop it. Unfortunately, you know, due to a global pandemic, Dysleyland is not open right now. So you cannot start Dysley.

Miles Sanders, Seattle's been set out against the run, third fewest rushing yards per game, second lowest yards before contact, but you were boxed in. It's actually part of why Seattle is so beat through the air and everyone is running on them is they're actually good against the run and bad. It's a funnel defense. So it's one of those things where that gives more credence to Carson Wentz should have a good game, should need to throw the ball if the running game isn't working and the passing game.

is easily working. Here's news. Eagles head coach Doug Peterson said Zach Ertz is trending in the right direction to play this week. How does it make you feel, Mike? Do the Eagles want to win? What if it's a Carson Wentz problem? And not a Zachertz problem. Why not both? Zachertz or if he's active or Dalton Schultz? Zachertz. Dalton Schultz.

I have a policy. I have a policy. This is interesting. We're right now on waivers. Zach Ertz or Noah Fant in a horrible matchup. I think it's Earth. I would probably go Noah Fant, but it's a name at least worth. At this point, you can pick them up. You can pick them up off of waivers, see what you got. I mean, if you're, if you're sifted through the toilet, Ertz is in there. Gross. Gross into the show. Travis Fulgum, Jalen Rager, Alshon, Jeffrey.

Not Alshan. Alshan is... I mean... He's on the field sometimes. He shouldn't be. Sometimes. He's had three targets in two games, which have resulted in zero catches. So... Yeah, no, you don't play him. I mean, Fulgum, it's been really, really bad for him the past couple weeks.

And last week against Cleveland, the weather was insane. There was still seven targets for Travis Fulgham. The week before that was the Giants and the Giants have a good secondary, including the coverage from James Bradbury, which was five targets that only turned into one reception. I hate to continually be the Travis Fulgum truth. Apologist. Yeah, Apologist over here. But I think you can play him as a wide receiver three with upside. I am finding another option.

But I agree that it's possible. I'm just not excited, which is how I approach Carson wins anymore. I will say possible, but not excited. I will say this for this entire week's slate of weather. Obviously, we've got to record this very early. So we can't give you as good information as we usually can on a Friday. But the weather appears good across the board for virtually every single game. The only one that might have bad weather is actually this one. So, you know, check it closer.

to the time, but obviously the rain didn't help Carson Wentz last week. Yeah. All right. Moving on. Propp it like it's hot. Presented by Monkey Knife Fight. Slight update, Jason. Yeah, yeah. Raven Steeler Sunday afternoon. Well, now we have the information. Yes. Thank you for letting me know. You're welcome. All right. Prop it like it's hot. Our favorite week 12 props on Monkey Knife Fight.

And that's full PPR. Man, in my head, I heard James Washington, and I was like, what are you doing? No, no. James White, it's PPR scoring.

10.5 fantasy points. He is too essential to this offense at that point. At this point in time, with Burkhead out, he had 11.5. 11.5 last week in a half point. So the snapshot for Rex Burkhead was 30, 40%. He's too necessary. And in a full PPR, 10.5 is not a tough line to hit against an Arizona offense that should score. Yeah, yeah, that could certainly happen in a full PPR league. That's great. I would just say this.

This ballers picks thing we've been doing this year has been a lot of fun. And if you're getting together with people that maybe don't know about it, get them involved. Have them go to ballerspicks. Use the code ballers and play these with us. I'm going with Stefan Diggs. Stefan Diggs, he has a line of 85 and a half receiving yards. That's a lot. That's a lot. And I'm saying, more's coming, baby. I'm going over that because he's averaging more.

than 85 and a half yards per game. He's averaging 90 yards per game right now. He actually has had more than 85 and a half in seven of his games already this year. And now you've got a 54.5 point over under in what projects to be a high scoring game. I love, I love Diggs in every way. And so I will say he's going to have a great game. All right. I want to talk about Rule 86, well, the former Rule 86, Jordan Reed.

More than three and a half receptions, or more or less, I should say. I guess I spoiled it because I'm taking the more. We've seen Jordan Reed essentially twice in that starter role where he's replacing George Kittle. Both of those times he has surpassed the three and a half reception. Seven in week two, five in week 10. Looks like Jordan Reed is healthy and George Kittle will not be on the field. So I will take more than three and a half receptions.

All right. I think that line is a good one, and I'm curious to see what happens. Ballerspix.com is the web address if you want to play with us.
