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

No, quarterback. Brandon Allen, he had some production for Denver. I think it's a much better scenario than Ryan Lindley or Finley. Finley, man, I keep mixing those guys out. Yeah, Ryan Finley. Yeah, I agree with that, but I'm not, I don't agree with it enough to move the needle on whether I'm confident starting those options. That is fair. And then Jacksonville is going to transition to Mike Glennon, which is a great.

thing for your organization to do. First start since 2017 from Mike Glennon. It has the best job in football. And a shout out to this tweet from Mark Long at AP Mark Long on Twitter. Here's the craziest part. Mike Glennon got benched in 2017 for Chicago's Mitchell Tribusky, who got benched this year for Nick Foles, who got benched last year for Gardner Minshew, who got replaced by Jake Luton, who was now benched for Mike Glennon.

And the circle of life. You can just keep repeating that tweet over and over and over. It's a delight. That tweet is, it just shows you very few people on earth can play quarterback at a high level. At an NFL level, yeah, 100%. It's incredible. Because these, those players, all of them, are better than 99.99% of the earth. How is it? And they stink. I mean, how is it? We don't have better, more better quarterbacks.

I think we're getting there. I really think we're getting there. You look at the new influx of young quarterbacks who are starting to set the world on fire. Deshaun Watson, Kyler Murray, Josh Allen. Carson Wants. Patrick Mahomes. I think we're going to have more influx of quality quarterback play. That's what I hope, at least. Sure, sure. It's tough. It's tough to play quarterback. It's tough to.

It's tough to be, it's two things. You've got to be good. Then you have to have good coaches and you have to land on the right team. And there's a lot of things that go into it or your career dissolved. Saying like, how many rocket scientists are in the world? More than quarterbacks. Yeah. And it's like, I would think being a rocket scientist will be way harder than being a quarterback. Very easy. Very easy. That's, I can assume that now. You can do six weeks, online university rocket scientists.

Bing, bang, boom. All right, a reminder to drop it like it's hot. Your waivers went through today. Check and see who was dropped. Buy your league mates. Let's do some buy sell. Buy or sell. Presented by pristine auction. All right. Jason and I went two for three last week. Mike, a pitiful, pathetic one for three. What a loser. I know. We had Mike Davis top 11 running back. He ended up there. Michael Thomas. I sold him as a top 11 wide receiver.

And then Tom Brady as a top 11 quarterback. Nine for 104. Sold him. Doesn't get in the top 11. Sorry. Sorry. All right. Week 12 Megladon edition. I guess we're going with Chark week here. Is that the, that's the tie-in? Is DJ Chark with the newly anointed Mike Glennon, a top 24 wide receiver this week against Cleveland? I have two words. Fat chance. Okay. I'm going to sell it. I'm not.

I was out on chart last week. You are playing the gamble on a big play. Now, Miles Garrett will not be available. Also, Dinsel Ward, the main cornerback who would be the worry, now has a calf problem. It will be missing multiple weeks. Does that sway you for a top 24 from a really athletic guy who's going to be getting the targets? No.

No, it doesn't. And Cleveland was just fine rushing the passer last week without Miles Garrett. They put a lot of pressure on the quarterback. You are betting on Glennon. I'm not going to do it. He may find options closer to the line of scrimmage that he prefers. So I think you get more of the same from DJ Charks. So I'm going to sell. You guys can buy. It's your choice.

Okay, well, Mike, where are you at? If you both sell, I'll kill you. Well, if he sells, I'm going to change the line. But where are you at, Mike? I'm going to sell 24's too high. I have him ranked well outside of that right now. All right. I'm going all the way to 36. Are you in, Andy, at 36? I will buy it 36. I would buy it. 30. Top 30, I will, I'll buy it. Man, okay. Where's the line? 20s, eight.

30 on the dot is probably where I think he is there. 29. Sure, I'll sell 29. All right. We did it. All right. We did it. All right. I'm buying 29. I'll buy it 29. I'll buy 29. It's really improved your odds to win this one. He is the number one target. We got a few more spots he can land. I would prefer to look elsewhere. How did you not pick top 29 here, Brooks? That's what I want to know. What were you thinking? I guess I wasn't. All right. Aaron Rogers against Chicago.

Is he a top eight quarterback this week? He only has two games outside that top eight this whole season. Chicago, great defense. But he's been a quarterback eight or better for five straight weeks. Something's got to give. Yeah, and so one of those games was against Tampa Bay in week six. That was the infamous Green Bay collapse where everyone proclaimed that Tampa Bay was going directly to the Super Bowl. The other was week two, which.

is weird because it was against the Detroit Lions I mean I guess maybe that was just one of those divisional things I was still 240 for two in that game it was Aaron Jones Aaron Jones ran for 700 yards and 18 touchdowns so Aaron Rogers was you know taken away from fantasy value there yeah and I mean weird

for this year, but not for last year when it was, you know, 10 times outside of that range and he wasn't that good. I'm saying weird than the matchup. Detroit Lions are not a scary matchup for a quarterback. I'm buying. I'll take them in the top eight. I'm going to sell. I'm going to sell for two reasons. One, I really believe, I mean, nobody's getting it done against Chicago. This is a very difficult divisional matchup. But then you also have to factor in the fact that there's no buy weeks this week. So, you know, top eight.

You've got 32 quarterbacks. And I think Taysam Hill is someone that I would sneak into that top eight because of his rushing ability. So I'm going to take him just outside. I've got him at 10. I think you can start him, but I will sell on the top eight line. I have him at eight on the dot. And I think he gets there. Touchdowns. I mean, that's all it's going to take. He's going to throw at least two in this game against Chicago. And I think he can get up into that top eight. So I'm with Mike.

And then the last buy sell here for the Meglodon edition, Clyde Edwards Lair, 80 total yards against Tampa Bay. What do you think? He's hit the mark five out of ten games this year. I'm going to sell. I think he has been doing the vast majority of his work on the ground, and Tampa Bay's rush defense is phenomenal. That will slow him down, and I don't think he gets to 80 total. Mike? So it was nice to see his running back.

share his his rush share had jumped you know when levy on bell showed up we were seeing 47 percent 32 percent but it has jumped up the last couple games 56 percent 67 percent so he is working his way back to being the the the the the for sure the primary running back in the kansas city offense 80 total yards is that what it is yeah uh i man i'm selling

If it makes any difference, I'm going to sell it. He's averaging 50 total yards per game over the last four games. Yeah, but I mean, he had 69 rushing yards and eight receiving yards. We got to get Clyde some targets, man. What is going on over there? I'll buy then. Okay. I think this is a situation we've seen plenty of times in the past where the rookie is just because he's a rookie and he's still coming along. He's not utilized as much in the third down roll and the two-minute drill in the passing game. Next year, I expect...

Clyde to really take that part of the roll over. I don't think it happens this season. All right. That was by yourself from pristine auction. Pristine auction. Use the code ballers. Get a $10 credit. All right. It's time for some very special holiday themed content. The finish there, too. Now do you like Thanksgiving after hearing that, Mike? Not only have I heard that. I made that. I know. I know you did.

Was it against your will? I mean... No, no. I'm turkey in the straw. I can get down with that. Okay. All right. Time for some Turkey Day awards. We do this every year. I don't... I think in previous years, I've looked at the answers before you guys. I have not this year. Oh, you're part of the game. I'm part of the game. And we'll start with... What do we got? Five awards, Brooks? Yes, sir. And who picked these out? Was this you and Kyle? Kyle...

He always comes up with these awards. I picked the winners this year. Oh, did you? Oh. So this first one is titled Tiffany's mashed potatoes, which is Jason's wife, who makes some very delicious mashed potatoes that are described as a lumpy, buttery, glob of mashed potatoes that is what everyone needs to add some body to their plate. It's as dependable as they get, and we all know butter makes everything better.

So who is the Tiffany's mashed potatoes this year? I don't appreciate that description. They're not lumpy. I was going to ask, are you a smooth or a lumpy? They're smooth. They've got cheese and sour cream and stuff mixed in. Well, let's just focus on the dependable word. Sure. Yeah, they're very dependable. Who's the dependable one? Can I go first? Yeah. You may. Travis Kelsey. I mean, look, if you're talking big and buttery, taking up a lot of room.

who's just as dependable as it comes in your, you know, in your lineup, that would be who I would give the award to, would be Travis Killson. You're forgetting about the Denver game. Oh, there was one game. Yeah, that's in the snow. Yeah, I'm going with Kyler Murray. Kyler Murray, who has not had a single bad game at the quarterback position. When he's bad, he's the 11th ranked fantasy quarterback on the week, and he has been crushing. Kyler's who came to mine right away with the consistency factor.

How about Alvin Camara? Ooh, I don't know. All right. The winner was Kyler Murray. Boom. Yeah. Other candidates could have been Derek, Henry, Travis, Kelsey. So, yeah, we were right on. Yeah, it could have been, except for that Denver game. Look, I don't know about you guys. Trade him. Cut him. I think here's the issue. Okay. When I put mashed potatoes on my plate, is it big or is it small? I'm going to guess big.

Is it Travis Kelsey or is it Kyler? Oh, I see. Kyler can't be mashed potatoes. Being a sizest over here. Kyler is a delicious deviled egg. They're so good. They're an important part, but they're not that big. Yeah, but how many deviled eggs do you eat? 32. Thank you. All right. The second award is the burn dinner roll.

It's described as, gosh, you put so much time and effort into preparing the meal, but unexpectedly the rolls were burned. Oh, no. So this is about disappointment. Sometimes you just have to scrape the carbon shavings off and throw it away in sadness. I mean, the burn dinner roll. If you have to throw it away. Oh, goodness. That's got to be Hollywood Brown. I mean, it really does. Yeah. I mean, that's a trifectual. That's fully unedible, though. You can't scrape those shavings off and still.

salvage it no that's that's look a lot of work went into this that i mean dinner rolls are delicious they were hyped up beforehand they're so good they're like my favorite thing but if you burn them you can't use them and if there's nobody passing the ball in the in for their team he can't catch it so i'm i'm certain i mean that has to be the burned dinner roll that has i'm i'm gonna go hollywood as well yeah i'm in

All right. The, oh, it was. It was Hollywood Brown. Other candidates, DJ Chark? Yeah, I guess. You know, you take the blame away, but when you look at the player by himself, that would be part of it. Lamar Jackson. Oh, sure. Yeah, me, same team. I wondered like Christian McCaffrey does he apply because it's like, oh, it's so good. Oh, it's burnt. I got to take this off, put it back in the, yeah. No. I was thinking Michael Thomas, but then we got to the, but you're not throwing away Michael Thomas. No. No.

Okay, sweet potato casserole. This is a heavy, hearty, delicious treat for the first few bites. And then you can only have so much of it before it makes you vomit all over the floor and completely ruins your Thanksgiving and your family calls you a no good has been. Oh. By the way, the first few bites of the sweet potato casserole, now is that the same as like the marshmallow? Yeah, I think it's the same thing. Because whenever I get those, I do, I eat the marshmallow part. And then I'm like, I don't really want to eat all the rest because it's not as good.

But what is the connection here? You can only have so much. So I think this is like a hot start, but then they have. I mean, Robbie Anderson. You got tricked. Robby Anderson is a sweet potato casserole. Yeah, you might be getting tricked. I would now again, this is more injury, but that's part of the problem. I would say Rahim Moster fits. He's like, oh, he's good. It's really good, but just for a little bit. And then you, and then you got to take a break.
