Starts of the Week + Week 17 Breakdown, Megalabowl WINNER!

If you can't play Sony here, you can't play Sony ever. I would look for him. All right. Let's move on then to, well, Edelman, by the way, Edelman may or may not be active in this game. He's been dealing with injury. He's been dealing with inconsistency for a fantasy team because of it. If he's active, is he a solid wide receiver two for you just because of the matchup? Yeah, the matchup says he'll win, and I think that's fine. I would hope if I'm an Edelman owner, I genuinely hope they set him down.

Packers taking on the Lions this week. Green Bay can clench a first round by with a win or several other scenarios where they don't win and the New Orleans loses or there's a tie, blah, blah, blah. They also clinch home field advantage throughout the playoffs if they win and then Seattle beat San Francisco. So Seattle's not likely not playing for that.

first down by throughout the home field advantage throughout the playoffs, but they could take it away from their division mate San Francisco and Green Bay could get it. And that seems like a fairly possible situation here with the way that, you know, the game's up in Seattle. So Green Bay with a lot to play for here. The matchup against the Lions is wonderful. Aaron Rogers. Like we said play, play, play cut. Cut. Oh, man. It was back to back cut cut cut. Play cut. It worked. You can play again.

Yeah, I would be willing to play Aaron Rogers against the 25th ranked Detroit Lions who are giving up over 20 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. And then Devante Adams, monster game last week in terms of targets, receptions. He's all they have. I think they have, they have verified that all of the other receiving options stink. Lizard is like a wide receiver three on a roster is fine to me, like as an NFL player.

Yeah, I mean, I would say four, but sure. Marquez-Valdos, Scantling, Geronimo Allison, Jake Coomero. And how about the biggest one of all? Jimmy Graham. Oh, gosh. I don't even consider him a... Here's some start sits for Jimmy Graham this week for you. Jimmy Graham or eating gravel. Oh, gosh. I think I worry about my teeth. I'd go Jimmy there. Okay. Jimmy Graham or sitting at the DMV. Oh, on that, I can get through that. I can get through the DMV. I'm going to take the DMV. Jimmy Graham are Cats the Musical.

Oh, Jimmy. Jimmy Graham, you're my man. Jimmy Graham, we're getting a root canal. Oh, no, Jimmy, Jimmy Graham. So there are some situations I would rather have Jimmy Graham. It's just a different kind of pain, though. Yeah. You know what I mean? Well, one is boring and stupid and senseless, and the others can really bring the hammer down on you. Aaron Jones, the running back two on the season. You're going to play him. You're going to play him. That feels stupid, man.

I don't remember the last running back two on the season. I've been this. He's been, he's had an incredible season. Well, yeah, because 16 touchdowns. Exactly. 16 touchdowns. That's, I mean, the play has not seemed like that. Oh, it has absolutely seemed that way. Ask Brooks. Okay. What do you think? Brooks.

Has the play seemed like the wide receiver two on the year? I guess I'm curious, uh, his consistency. I'm curious to look at that. Yeah, he had, he had some windows there with Jamal Williams showed up and he wasn't scoring touchdowns. But to me, it's felt like a complete and utter breakout year for Aaron Jones. Al, am I alone in this? I love him, but I'm biased. You know that. Yeah, he's a Packer fan. Yeah. Anytime you can put up a running back two season, 16 touchdowns.

make good on, I mean, would you agree he's made good on all the promise that he showed last year for the Packers' sake? I mean, he's been a bell cow for them. He's had multi-touchdown games over and over again. I love Aaron Jones as a talent and certainly think he has broken out for fantasy. I do think that the touchdowns per rushing yards make no sense. And I would be surprised. This is what I'm talking about since week nine.

Okay, if you take out, because he's had in week five and week eight, he had monster week winning, you know, crazy multiple touchdown. He was the running back one on those weeks, which really inflates. Since week nine, he's the running back 21. So I was like, I'm not saying that's bad. Like, he's a running back too, but that doesn't feel like the running back too. You've just had these monster games that have really inflated. 47 receptions on the season, 4.7 a carry.

So he's still chunking off plays, which is, you know, this is an Alvin Camara type season from last year. Yeah. Where Camara had an abundance of touchdowns. We knew that that was a tough number. But this team is rebuilt. This team is rebuilt for a different errand. I've, I've never been more disappointed in a running back two and I've never been less inspired by a team that's 12 and 3. I don't get it. Maybe I'm just, I'm not anti-Packers. I love Packers. We're not used to seeing them play this way. They run the ball.

and they show up on defense. And then Aaron Rogers throws the ball away. That's what he does. He doesn't take negative plays. He has a few drives in him. I'm with you. Running back two on the year doesn't feel right. Running back two is a little bit up there. But a top, you know, a top 10, top five type of guy that Aaron Jones has won people a lot of championship. Yeah. Yeah, he has, including your son. So the Packers passing defense has been phenomenal. We obviously saw that again last week.

David Blow is not the quarterback that I want to go against them. The only question here on the receiving side of the ball for the Lions is Kenny Goladay, do you start him in a tough matchup? I'm pretty much always going to side with the talent. He is crazy good. There were a lot of those questions last week in a bad matchup, and he said, yeah, he's just been, you're going to get some bad games. If you end up in the red zone, who are you going to throw the ball to? Exactly. He's got the opportunities for touchdowns, and it came through last week with a rushing touchdown.

Some people have to watch this game. Browns, six and nine, take on the Bengals at 1 and 14 in Cincinnati. The Browns are two and a half point road favorites. It's a 43 and a half point over under. Okay. Here we are. The Bengals clinched the number one pick. Maybe Joe Burroughs the quarterback for them next year. Yep. Yep. I think so as well. Freddie Kitchens. Will he be back? O'Dell Beckham yelling. They make bad decisions.

I wouldn't be surprised to see them pivot from that bad decision now that you've got the... I would be so proud of them if they pivot because it's the clear and obvious right decision. Freddie Kitchens cannot be a head coach in the NFL. He proved that this year. In week 14, Cleveland won 27 and 19, the same matchup. That was at home. What are the fantasy decisions to be made here? Both of these teams have nothing to play for, really?

Well, there's some injury news that you're going to need to stay on top of. For the Bangle side of the ball, we saw Tyler Boyd and John Ross kind of get a little hobbled at the end of the game. They were able to get back on the field and play, but I want to see them practicing this week because I do worry a little bit about their health. Maybe they shelve them unexpectedly if they're swelling this week. So I want to pay a little bit of attention to that.

Yeah, and it's important. Tyler Boyd was absolutely a monster last week, 9 for 1, 28, and 2 on 15 targets. Vegas has the game pretty close. I think Boyd and Dalton or, I'm sorry, Boyd and Mixon are good plays. Mixing was dealing with a bit of an upset tummy. Yeah, he was, he had an illness bug, and it must have been like what Mike had. Yeah. Because he did not perform well, but I'm not worried.

at all about Joe Mixing. He is a must-start player this week. If you made it through with his dud last week, don't be afraid of it this week. I think Mixing and Boyd, the only two that you really want to consider here in this matchup against the Browns. Yeah, I agree. On the other side, you know, Chubb leading the NFL in rushing. That's, wow, my goodness, 1453 yards.

Yeah, I mean, it doesn't feel like 1453 for fantasy because of the receiving work that's been going to Cream Hunt, but he has been, he's just been outstanding this year. He's a great running back. And I think you can play both of these guys, Chubb and Hunt this week for sure. Beckham and Landry put him out there in this matchup at home. I guess it's a good match. Try to go out on top. Baker? Who would you rather start Jarvis or Beckham? Ah.

I'll take Jarvis. Me as well. Yeah. All right. David and Joker, by the way, has been out weeks 15 and 16 coaches decision on both weeks, not injury. So I don't know if he's in the doghouse. What are the kitchen? Oh, you did it. Oh! Chargers, 5 and 10. Chiefs, 11 and 4. Chiefs are 9-point favorites.

they can still get a first round by if New England loses to Miami. So they have got nothing to play for. Oh, well, you never know. You never know what Ryan Fitzpatrick has in store, Jason. Now, historically, the Patriots have struggled with Miami. It's true. That is just letting people know. But not usually in Foxborough and they're favored by 16. So it's not happening. Yeah. Since 2013, New England is just seven and five against Miami.

Is that your almost upset of the week, Jason? Nope. Nope. It did work out last week. Didn't I have one? I think it was good. Maybe. Let's say it was. I piggybacked with you. I think we'd both nailed it. I don't remember what it was. I mean, either. Good for us. Yeah. Great pick. Kansas City beat the charges 2417 in week 11. Rivers has had a disastrous year. The Chargers aren't playing for much. This game's at Arrowhead.

Oh, I think it was the Bills. It was the Bills against the Patriot. You know who's playing great. That's what it was. The Chiefs defense. The Chiefs are, I mean, look. They're surging. My preseason pick of Chiefs versus Saints in the Super Bowl, I'm loving right now because both of these teams are playing great. And the Chiefs, they're being totally overshadowed by the Ravens. The Ravens, Ravens, Ravens, the Chiefs are just dominating right now. They're not dominating on offense.

They're dominating on defense, and then they're just super good at offense. I agree. The difference that the second half is meant to that defense, Tyrone Matthew, how he's playing, has changed their secondary. What do you do with Keenan out and Mike Williams? I mean...

Just for context, the Chiefs defense is second in the NFL in terms of fancy points given up to the wide receiver position. Can you really trust Keenan Allen and Mike Williams at Arrowhead with Philip Rivers, Jason? Every single week, I think this is the week that the Chiefs might be exposed as being a little statistically like they've been so good against wide receivers, but maybe it's anomalous, and I have to stop doing that. And when Philip Rivers is your quarterback, needing.

so badly to retire, I feel like it's going to be difficult to trust these options. I really do. Now that it's hard to sit Keenan Allen. You have to have other good options to sit him. But wide receiver two range this week, low low two range. All right. Tyree Kill. Yep. Damien Williams. What's your, give me the one word for Damien Williams this week. Okay.

All right. That was nice inflection. Yeah, because, I mean, look, Spencer Ware went to IR.

So he's out, and he was on the field a decent amount. He was getting some run. Now, that being said, shady wasn't active. So, you know, I think what you saw usage-wise last week with Damien Williams is going to keep up. He was okay. And this is a winnable matchup on the ground. The chargers are a running funnel defense where they incentivize the run and stop the pass. So, you know, Damien Williams is an okay play this week.

Because he doesn't offer you anything by way of fantasy points, I wanted to give you a little bit of something from... Here, I'm non-responsive, armed with a conscious. I breathe the laws of physics moving through the higher dimensions. I'm constantly shaping and shifting. I'm just here on a visit. That is a red... Oh, it's cold-blooded. That is a tweet. December 13th.

Written by a lizard. Yes. Yes. Faxially accurate. Wrote that. I mean, his Twitter account is a joke. Like it's like it seems Jack Handy. S&L wise words. Like it's that level of asinine. We are giving away Sammy Watkins helmet. Oh, fantastic. At folkclan giveaway.com if you want a lizard helmet. Travis Kelsey. Yep.
