Starts of the Week + Week 18 Breakdown, Nasty Boys - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/2

It's Dobbs. It's, it's Romeo Dobbs. It's stupid Romeo Dobbs. At this point, because he's just, he's the one who was out there the most. DJ Moore's lines 56 and a half. Okay. Keenan Allen on his way out last game as a bear, undoubtedly. And, um, Tucker craft. You could do it. Worst against tight end the bears the last six weeks. Do you feel like Keenan Allen's going to get a real opportunity? No. I'm very, very curious what happens with him next year because he's played. Like he's played good. He's put up stats. He won't. He won't get a good, he'll get a Hopkins.

He's in the Hopkins. He's in the Hopkins phase now. I mean, I look, I'm not saying he's going to the chiefs. I'm not necessarily. Yeah. I'm not saying money, but like, will, will it a good team be like, Oh, Keenan could be our wide receiver too. I mean, if he went to the chiefs with the homes, he, uh, that, that would work pretty well. The chiefs are just collecting the, what was the old bodies. I mean, Hopkins and Brown and, and Juju. And I mean, it's just wild. Keep going. I don't think, I don't think that that's, that'll be the fit, but I mean,

you know, who could use him a lot? The chargers. Yeah, for sure. That'd be a fun. They really could have used him. They could make a playoff run with him. Well, they're going to make one without him. Well, the run, I mean, a playoff run. Yeah. Not get in, but, uh, Houston nine and seven, Tennessee three and 13 DK sports, book line, Houston minus one over under 38. Texans locked at the four seed starters will be out there. We'll see how the game goes is what he said in terms of how long they'll be there. Um, Tennessee actually beat him in week 12, Tennessee set up to take a quarterback.

They have the number two pick right now. They're going to play some combination of Mason Rudolph and will Levis in this game, which makes everybody terrifying. I do think chicken Conco is fine. Yeah. Texans struggle against, uh, tight ends to begin with. They're probably going to sit guys in the second half. Joe Mixon needs 107 rushing yards to earn 250 K. He won't get it. I don't think he won't get it in this game. And, uh, he's got aspiration. He just got two 50 for making the pro bowl. So, uh, higher aspirations for this team. And he's an older running back.

They need to keep him fresh. I would be scared, honestly, playing any Texan. Yeah. You just, you have no idea how long they're going to play. I don't think it'll be that long. I still think I would. I think I would play Joe Mixon and I wouldn't be surprised if he hits his rushing yardage bonus. I mean, he's, he's been good. And the Titans, I mean, in the course of the season, they are literally last in, you know, I'm not sure how much you see him. I mean, that's obviously the fear. Maybe a quarter. I, I, I will certainly say from years past, whenever there is these situations, it is very frequent that

you really want to not start players that might be pulled because they are. Honestly, I'm happy that he has that 107 rushing yard line to a bonus because maybe that would, you know, help a team keep him out there. However, a lot of these teams, they pay the, if, if they don't get it and they get close, they still pay him. So they might just go like, yeah, we'll, we'll give you the bonus. You didn't get there. Honestly, if it was like 30 or 40 yards, I'd be, I'd be feeling better about Mixon's opportunity to play than 107. Cause I don't, it's a lot.

This seems toast. They're toast. If they lose Joe Mixon and he's, he's an old running back and the line, the game line says they're sitting guys. I mean, Houston would be much, much bigger favorites over a hodgepodge quarterback in Tennessee. If they were going to play them, um, we'll take a break. Got a couple of matchups in our parlay partay remaining Jacksonville four and 12 Indianapolis seven and nine. This is the worst game you can play the Indianapolis. When you get eliminated the week before in embarrassing fashion, this is the next, this is the worst game. I mean, it doesn't matter for either of them.

Um, Indy's four and a half point favorites. The over under is 45 on the DraftKings sports book. Richardson. We'll see if he can play. Yeah. Doubt it. Probably not. Got to be able to get out of bed in order to play football. That's, that is really step one. Um, so what are your starts to decisions in a game that doesn't matter? I mean, in that respect, you should see people playing the full game. Yeah. I think you're going to have Joe Flacco out there. And if he is, you've got guys like Alec Pierce, Michael Pittman that are fine starts. Jacksonville's defense is bad.

Obviously, obviously the Colts defense is so bad. I mean, do they just, do they fold or do they come back like, you know, to prove a point here? I mean, last week was nothing to prove was just the most embarrassing thing I've seen a team that needs to win. You're still playoff, you know, bound or, or, or when, and you've got the potential of making the playoffs and to give up 40 plus points to drew locks giants. So, I mean, on the, that just says on the other side, can you start Travis ETN? You know, can I like Brian Thomas.

I like Alec Pierce. With Joe Flacco starting. I like Jonathan Taylor, pro bowler, Jonathan Taylor. I like the fact that Mac Jones chucks it. I expect the Jacksonville Jaguars to win this ball game. Oh yeah? I do. Okay. I do. I think I see it. The Colts, the Colts are so dysfunctional and, uh, the, the air is completely out of that building. There's problems. You've had this quarterback situation this year. You've had motivation problems with the locker room. You've had, uh, somebody like Pat McAfee coming out and undressing your entire organization and saying he's, you know, have you not seen this?

I did not. Yeah. You might want to look it up. I mean, it's like, uh, he posted a tweet last week that was, it was as intense as you can get. I mean, everything after what ownership. Cause I mean, it's gotta, it's all different people now. Just the dysfunction in the organization to all the way down to him, not renewing his season tickets. Like it's, it's, um, something he's been saying for a while, but you know, Joe Flacco is good for Alec Pierce. That's generally been the case. I mean, he's good for the, the, the, the upshot for all three.

Of them. Yeah. Like Downs. Pierce is the big play guy. Pittman is like, he'll have a floor. The fact that Josh Downs didn't do anything was, was very strange. Surprising. And I don't view that as meaning you can't start Josh down. I agree. Yeah. But how would you put them in order? I would probably put, I think I would put Downs first. Does that seem crazy? I mean, I like the 95% of snaps for, it's not for Alec Pierce. I mean, it's, you know, yeah. What was the snap count for Downs? Downs was at 61%. That's, that's a player that's not maybe as healthy as we thought.

Well, though he doesn't normally play more than that. That's about where he normally is. Pittman was on the field a ton. Yeah. I think. 94%. I don't know. I honestly don't know. I could see this game being one to hit the over and have a bunch of, you know, two bad defenses allowing two mediocre offenses to have success. Yeah. He, the Downs is play. It's like Jaden Reed where he's just, you got to have the right formation to get him out there. The Buffalo Bills backups at 13 and three taking on the new England's Patriots starters. Nope. They're backups at three and 13.

They just said they're going to play May. Okay. It doesn't matter. The DraftKings sports with land Buffalo minus three. The overrunners 38. They really, they're hurt in a couple of ways. New England's going to try to win the game is what they said. We're playing to win the game. We're going to play Drake May. He got, he's been banged up. He's had to come out of the game multiple times and let Brissette in there. Buffalo's going to be playing backups. New England's at home. Buffalo's three point favorites. The overrunners 38 on the DK sports book. It's going to be cold.

It's so bad for New England to lose, to win this game. So bad. They can lock the number one pickup. Kyle, is there any situation with strength of schedule since they're playing Buffalo that they lose that number one pick? I don't think it'll. Cause their strength of schedule. Yeah. I don't think they can overtake. I mean. Yeah. I mean, Mitchell Trubisky and, and a bunch of backups. Can you. Who are you starting? I mean, I mean, Ray Davis. Yeah. That was the name I wanted to bring up. Probably Ray Davis. Ty Johnson. Ray Davis seems like he'll have a good game.

I, I think he should. He's going to be needed. The, the matchup is nice. You're still favored in this game. Um, so I think Ray Davis is an okay. They start. This is one of the games. That's the more difficult ones because Buffalo's all locked in. Josh Allen will come out there for a split second. But on the other side, I mean, Ramondre had two touches. How do you start that? No, you, you absolutely can't. I don't, I don't know who you could. I don't think you can confidently start a single player on either side. Like Ray Davis. Okay. Maybe, but it might be Ty Johnson.

They might. Sure. Rest Ray Davis. So you, you can't confidently start a single player in either. I'm willing to add Ray Davis to the, uh, I have the quorum to the quorum grundo combo. I'll just put another rookie in there. I think that's fine into the combo platter. Our parlay partay last week. I, I took the bet on T Higgins under 71 and a half receiving yards. He had a, uh, a number one overall finish. Doubted the start of the week. So give me my crown, dude. I will always doubt T Higgins brother. I'll always doubt it. Cause it works out to doubt it more often than not.

Well, that's only when he's off when he's hurt. Um, if he's, I mean, this is on the field, he's great. Well then I'll start because my, uh, my line this week, I'm taking T Higgins. Let's go. Lessons learned over 60 receiving yards. He's averaging 78, uh, receiving yards and they need the win. Just to finish the recap. I was getting into there. Lad McConkie 50 plus receiving yards. Jason hit that one. And Mike had 60 plus for training bride last week. Jason's going to Higgins 60 plus receiving yards on his pick this week. I'll take Judy 40 plus. Because it's inevitable losing the entire game.

You got a second half to catch a couple passes and get over that line. It, it, it might feel ugly for a bit there, but I agree. I think Judy should hit it. And I'm taking Malik neighbors over 66 and a half receiving yards. He's averaging 81. He's hit this line of five straight games. And I mean, he, they aren't playing for anything but pride and neighbors is gonna be like, no, I want to be the best. I mean, you can't overtake Beckham, but he wants to be one of the greats for the great rookies of all time for the Giants.

I like neighbors this week. A lot. That was fantasy forecast presented by draft Kings pick six. Download the new draft Kings pick six app now and use the code ballers.
