His receivers is helpful. Speed is nice. Yeah. Kyler Murray also on pace for 4,000 passing yards, 561 rushing yards. The comp before the season was Cam. Cam came out in his rookie year through for 4,000 yards. So we hope to see from Kyler. I believe he's depending on your scoring system, like the number five. And so he's giving you a great year. Dak Prescott last night, three touchdowns, 397. He's a QB4 on the season.

Inside the episode
116 passagesJosh Allen ended up, uh, well, oh, ended up excellent. He had a pretty good game. Yeah, pretty good. Excellent. Look, Josh, come on, buddy. Let's run the ball. That's, uh, this is what we drafted you to do. Please, please run the ball. Yeah, they, they got it. Uh, that was an interesting game. Wait, that was his highest passing yards. Hold on.
That's our little note. And they lost. Josh Allen had his highest passing yards output of the year. This has been the Josh Allen you've had, though. I mean, we brought that. He's a 200-yard passer right now. Yeah. Not running for as many yards as he did last season. Probably because he's got some more weapons and the defense is good. But you're basically in a situation where he's.
Probably going to get you 20 points a week minimum. He certainly hasn't been hurting you. That's five straight games with two touchdowns every single week. So, yeah. And, you know, his upcoming schedule, you could keep playing him Miami, at least this coming week for sure. Yeah. All right. Anybody else you want to talk about at quarterback studs? We've got some running backs. Derek Henry, 188 yards, two touchdowns. He's the running back five on the season. Is this what you expected from Derek Henry? No.
I did not and he had a huge breakway run I think they clocked him at he he came in over 20 miles an hour on that run so that just mag magnificent beast of a man he's like running 20 miles an hour like he like a bison in the open planes that is a business decision of yes you're like no no bro I want to live I mean think about getting hit
by a car at 20 miles an hour. Okay, if a car is going 20 miles an hour and you get hit, you're going, you're going to the hospital for the problems. But it's not just hitting. And now the fact you're in like, you're actually trying to hit the car. Right. I'm going to tackle this car. According to ESPN stats and info, Derek Henry has scored six touchdowns of 60 yards or more in the last three seasons, which is two times as many as any other running back. Dalvin Cook.
Doing Dalvin Cook things. 26 for 97 and 1, another 7 for 86 through the air. He's just a great player. He is. Every play he looks special. He is, he is awesome. And if you were to start a fantasy season today and do a startup draft, he would be in that top tier. I mean, you'd be talking. CMC, Dalvin Cook. Who would you rather have right now when you talk about Ezekiel Elliott or?
Dalvin Cook, and I would throw Sequin into that conversation. Those three guys. At this point, yeah, it would be McCaffrey and I think Cook would be number two. Yeah, so good for you, Cook. Aaron Jones. While you say Dalvin does Dalvin things, Aaron Jones did Aaron Jones things, which has touched the ball 13 times, but end up with three rushing touchdowns. Yeah, a little Jamal Charles-esque sometimes. If you look at the split, it was basically dead even.
when it came to snaps, touches between Aaron Jones and Jamal Williams. But Aaron Jones ended up with three rushing touchdowns. Breaking news. All right. This is not going to land well for those of you. Oh, no. With Austin Hooper is your tight end. He is getting an MRI on a knee injury suffered Sunday, expected to miss some time. The MRI will tell you how much.
Austin Hooper owners are now going to be in tight-in flux for a little while. That sucks. To lose a tight-in this late in the game, the waiver wires are bare. And he was the number one tight-in on the season. Yeah. If you, you know, at this point over the rest of the season, if you lose, I mean, I guess we've got two of them, right? Kittle, you lost? Right. You got no options out there? Hooper. Stay safe, Kelsey. Yeah, seriously. Christian McCaffrey.
Great game. Melvin Gordon Thursday night. We know that he had a great game. How about Ronald Jones? Ronald Jones. There's some good, some bad in this game. 11 for 29 on the ground is not great, but he scored. And then eight for 77 on eight targets. That's the bigger surprise. Did you call his USC coach and let him know he's matured? Look, I mean, if you watch the game, he looks awkward catching every single one, bobbing them, corraling them, but I don't care. So does Leonard Fournette.
Leonard Fournett is not a smooth receiver, but if he's getting five, six targets a game, great for fantasy. And, yeah, Ronald Jones is a guy that needs to be in your lineup going forward. I have to read this. John Deagle posted this. In high school, he had seven catches. Final year at USC 14 catches. His rookie season, seven catches. Prior to week 10, eight total catches on the year. Sunday, eight catches. Yeah. So they used them. We all saw it coming. And Barber had some good plays in this game, too.
So I will say the eight receptions is probably the outlier here moving forward. He is definitely startable, but gets the Saints next week. That's not really exciting as Arizona. If you told me that this was the new standard for Ronald Jones, I would question you as an analyst based on his entire life. I'm just saying. So I agree with you. It has to be considered an outlier. Before we get too excited about Ronald Jones of like, wrong Jones is every week, RB2.
I'm just pumping the brakes there. Yeah, I will say it will be, you know, you can start Ronald Jones going forward, but this specific week against the Saints is going to give you pause. We'll give Joe Mixon the honorable mention here in the Stud Muffins 30 for 114. I still, I respect Joe Mixon for how hard he plays while losing. It's not an easy thing to do. And when you watch them, they're the worst team in football. And I feel like Kerry 27 for Joe Mixon.
has the same level of juice as Kerry 1. So I'll give him credit there. And now we are learning that Giovanni Bernard has suffered a sprained knee. Well, there you go. So I saw two more carries coming. Gilmix's way. All right. We got wide receiver stud muffins momentarily before we get into that. We want to thank Harry's for sponsoring today's episode.

You got to get the quip. Got to quip it. You got to quip it this holiday season. All right. Wide receiver studs. What a game. For Christian Kirk. Six for one, 38 and three on 10 targets. This is outstanding the rapport between Kyler.
And Kirk is there? There was a great rapport also with Kirk and the Tampa Bay secondary. Yes. They really built a sound. They had an understanding. They built a relationship, but Kirk kept them at arm's length. Yes. And ultimately, three touchdowns on 10 targets. The first game back, you could see this was Christian Kirk as the one on this team and everybody else. And then this game, a real breakout performance, three touchdowns. Rest of season, this is.
Christian Kirk's a wide receiver, too. Is he not? He should be. The matchups are not, they are not great for Christian Kirk. We got another matchup against San Francisco by week. The Rams. It's just, it's tough sledding, but I think that Kirk is a low end too. Yeah, it's awesome to see him break out, but I was going to ask the question. Does that mean you definitely start him next week? I mean, last week against San Francisco, he was two for eight. Yeah. And that was at home.
you know, it's going to be, you know, hard to start him. Yeah, and then the buy week after that. I mean, it's all about the options that you have on your roster and whether you want to pivot or whether you want to believe that he can build on this. The nice thing about Kyler, and you saw it repeatedly in this game, is he can escape the pocket, which extends the play, and you ask the best cornerbacks in football whether they can defend somebody through a, you know, when the quarterback's running around for five, six, seven seconds, you can't.
You know, I think Christian Kirk is for real. I mean, he was one of your my guys, Andy. He's obviously going to be a solid wide receiver. But if your trade deadline hasn't passed, would you be willing to trade high on Chris Kirk knowing the next three weeks are? Sell him, I would. Yes. I'd be fine doing that. Yeah, absolutely. Like you said, San Francisco, then the buy week, which you're not going to be able to play him then. And then Ramsey. And then Ramsey and then Pittsburgh. And then, you know, it's not going to be easy.
Darius Slayton. Slayton. 14 targets. What? We were mentioning this guy in passing. When we were breaking down the matchups for the Giants, the matchup was plus against the Jets. You want players going against that team. And then you had Ingram out. You had Shepard out. And it was, okay, Golentay is going to be great, which Golentay was a beast. And it was, okay, yeah, you could play Slayton. He's very.
He's interesting. He hasn't really been a target machine, kind of a two receptions of game type of player, but 10 for 121 and 2? What? I love it when this, excuse me, I love it when this happens for young players. Because it makes you, you know, it's not just, maybe this is not just an outlier type of performance. The rapport is building with Daniel Jones, opportunities for him in dynasty and moving forward. This was a breakout game.
Plain and simple, 10 for 1, 21, and 2. The thought was, you can play him, but he's got to score on his three catches, not his 10 catches. He only had five catches the previous three weeks. Explosive game, great game. Daniel Jones was great in this one, and, you know, Slayton's interesting. We actually played against him in one of the leagues where we share a team. Proposterous. Our opponent picked up and played Slayton. It doesn't feel good. No, it doesn't.
Amari Cooper, Tyreek Hill. Tyreek Hill since returning from the injury, wide receiver 3, 4, 27, 4, 3. Yeah. So 11 for 157 and 1. 19. There was a part of this game where, and you've got to understand, tilting Jason is a Jason that really, it's kind of like a biohazard. You need to get away from it. It's Chernobyl. And there's some sort of, there's radioactivity the closer you get, but you can still get sick from a distance.
There was a part of this game where Jason saw Tyree Kill go down. And it looked like he may have re-injured the same shoulder problems. Which, to be fair to Jason, Tyree Kill, we had been. He was writhing. Yes. If you don't remember a situation in his shoulder, it was, okay, if you go out there and play and you re-injured this, you are going to have actual medical problems. That's why he was held out of the field for so long. He goes down.
