Week 8 Buy/Sell + Midseason Review & TNF Preview

Don't let the last two weeks numbers fool you when they played Miami, and then they played the mud. So, yeah, I mean, this could be a really good game for Kirk Cousins. But the whole narrative joke of Kirk Cousins and Andy Dalton and primetime sucking, it's not just a narrative, right? It's a narrative that is based upon history and performance, and they have underwhelmed in those matchups. So I do temper expectations a little bit. When the lights are on,

Some guys fold. Some guys are better in those primetime slots. I think that this is a game where you're going to see a lot of Dalvin Cook, and you're going to see a lot of him running, like not being handed the ball, but like in a full sprint. So running like running backs do? Yes. Excellent analysis. Case Keenum, no thank you. We have the double revenge game narrative, Jason. There's a whole lot of...

stores on this narrative street that are open. Because you have Kurt Cousins against his former team, Washington. You have Adrian Peterson versus the place where he carved the stone of the statue. The Adrian Peterson story was built in Minnesota. Talk about case. Talk about case. Oh my gosh. Case Keenham. Case Keenum revenge. Booted.

Four Kirk Cousins. He carried them to the second round of the playoffs and he was jettisoned. The revengiest game of all time. I can't even handle it. There's so much revenge. Here's the thing. I actually wonder if Case Keenum is, you say forget about it, but in a streaming matchup, forget about it. In a two-quarterback league, I think he's interesting. I mean, this is not a guy I would look to go to in my one quarterback leagues, but the Vikings defense isn't.

Look, here's a comparison, right? Last year, the Vikings defense, they were number two against quarterbacks. They were number three against wide receivers. It was a forget about it situation. This year it hasn't been that way. This year, the quarterbacks, they're middle of the pack 15th, and wide receivers, they're right now at 25th. But take the four touchdown Marvin Jones game from last week out. They were still 17th. And now they were 17th, and they gave up four touchdowns to Marvin Jones, which actually did happen. Fair.

So Terry McLaurin is a guy that I'm happy to play in this matchup. You might be afraid to play him. He's had a down game, obviously, in the mud bowl. I'm going with sludge bowl. The mud bowl is a real game that is noted in history. This is the mud bowl. I'm going with the sludge bowl. I'm in. We have coined the term here on the fantasy footballers. The sludge bowl. Yeah. This is where we'll find out there's a sludge bowl. But I don't know about it.

I'm on it. Look, Terry McLaurin, he's in for me. You take out the sludge bowl, seven plus targets and 51 yards in all of his games. He is showing out for a rookie wide receiver. Stefan Diggs, you're playing him. Adam Thielen, we kind of covered all of that stuff. Kyle Rudolph, five for 58 in touchdown on six targets, but the previous six weeks combined nine for 72 with zero.

Are you chasing it all of last week? No, I'm not chasing last week, but he is interesting if Adam Thielen can't go. Because if Adam Thelon, the main slot guy can't go, I think that there will be targets going Kyle Rudolph's way. If Adam Thielen is in, then I'm probably staying away. And we're going to, this is one of those things where this, because it's Thursday night football, you've got to be.

prepared and I don't know that you can be prepared if Adam Thielen ends up being a game time decision. If you've got waivers that run in the morning, this is a nighttime game, in which case my preparation will be to not go with Kyle Rudolph. Thank you for joining today's podcast.
