interested. Once we dive into the rankings, which those will be later up today, like I said, I'm curious how close Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen will actually be for me. And if somehow Josh Allen is slightly above him. As of right now, Lamar Jackson at Kansas City or Kirk Cousins at Seattle. I'm playing Kirk. Kirk, yes. I'm playing Kirk. Seattle gave up a lot of yardage to Nick Mullins last week. Yes. It's not the, it's funny because you think about Seattle and you see at Seattle,

42:57 ↗

And it still brings to mind the Legion of Boom and don't start anybody up there. But they're good, man. They're a lot better than I thought they would be. They're a weird team. That's an excellent statement. Mike Clay said something to the extent of like somebody needs to do a case study on like how they're winning games. Like nobody knows. It's like they don't have a great defense. That's a good defense. They don't have a great passing offense.

43:25 ↗

They don't really, I mean, I understand they run the ball a lot. That doesn't mean they're the best running team. Russell Wilson's not running. I think it's weird. Yeah. I think they're cheating. I think they're deflating or inflating. I don't know what they're doing. They just, when no one's looking, they tack a few, check a few points on. That's it. Like they bring their own scoreboard guy. Yes. Each touchdown's worth 10 points. Yep. Whoops. That's why they keep winning these games with weird point totals. We got time for some mailbag, Brooks.

43:54 ↗

Yeah? Oh, yeah. All right. Let's do it. Mailbag. Bagel. Rachel. Rachel in Chicago has a question. By the way, you can dial our voicemail hotline 302464 TFFB or visit the website, click to submit a question button. That's what Rachel did. She says, I have Alshon Jeffrey on my bench and I need a wide receiver with a consistent floor. I currently have Tyree Kill and Juju Smith-Schuster. Should I drop Jeffrey for someone like Adam Humphreys? Wow.

44:27 ↗

Mike is grimacing and he's grimacing because the answer is yes. If you need another wide receiver at the high floor, Jeffrey's not it. Because Jeffrey can disappear. Oh, son. What have you done to me? Would you do this no matter what or would you do this only if you knew DJX was gone? I would do it no matter what. Oh my goodness. Desperate times call for desperate measures. You got to make, these are hard because when you're in the playoffs, this is probably the most important time to make that decision.

44:54 ↗

I don't think I could do it. The Humphreys doubter, Jason Moore, I wonder where he would stand on this. Yeah, he's not here to speak to that point. Pronounced with an Humphreys. Yeah. Brent and Denver, first round of playoffs coming up. Who should be my flex man? Tyler Lockett against Minnesota. Or Kenny Gallaudet at Arizona. That's tough because Kenny G should get a lot of Patrick Peterson. He should see a lot of Patrick Peterson.

45:26 ↗

I'll take I'll take Lockett. You're going. I'll go big play. The destroyer of statistics and all math and probability. He's as weird as that offense and that team is. Yeah, I think you can look at his season. There's your answer, Mike Clay. Yeah. Tyler Lockett. That's how the Seattle Seahawks are winning. A dude who's scoring on levels that make no sense. He had won reception last week. They're the.

45:57 ↗

The football equivalent of like, you're playing chess with somebody and you go, hey, look over there. And then you move the piece. You spin the board? You spin the board. I thought Seattle was down 46 to 16. How are they up 46 to 16? Do you Lingoliday? Man, no. No, I'll go lock it. Hot lock it. Yeah, I'll take them at home. Chris in Raleigh, North Carolina. As a Cam Newton owner going into the playoffs, how worried should I be, how worried should I be about his performance?

46:29 ↗

should I stash another quarterback just in case? Who should I target? Alan, Jackson, Mullins. Look, I'm not worried. We talked about, it can happen to anybody. Look at last week. It wasn't just, I mean, it was Drew Breeze. It was Andrew Luck. It was Matt Ryan. It was Kurt Cousins. This can happen to anybody any time, and you're not going to play somebody different than Newton. Newton has a fantasy playoffs that, you know, that's all you can do. You don't control anything else. Scooting.

46:57 ↗

Uh, yeah, I haven't done that in a while. Let's your booty. Oh. Adam and Maine. Hey guys, I have Pat Mahomes. I like that you let it finish. You're darn right. I did. Adam and Maine, I have Pat Mahomes and I'm playing against Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelsey in my first round matchup of a 14 team league. My other quarterback is James Winston. Do I bench my homes? No. No, you don't. No. Because if he throws to Demetrius Harris or Chris Conley.

47:30 ↗

or Spencer Ware or anybody else, you're extremely happy. And if he doesn't, you're extremely not vulnerable to the damage that Kelsey and Tyreek Hill can do. You all, I understand the thought process between this where you're like, I don't want my quarterback thrown to my opponent, but you still have to take the stronger play. And Patrick Moves is a stronger play than anybody. Well, and the thing is, it's hard to do this. And I get all the logic and strategy.

48:00 ↗

At the end of the day, let's say the week is over, and James Winston scores 30 points, and Pat Mahomes scores 45 points. 45 is always more than 30, from my understanding, of mathematics. It doesn't matter where they come from. So your opponent can score whatever they score. Outstanding. It's like, can you forgive yourself if you bench Pat Mahomes and lose because of it. No, you can't. No, you have Viking funeral that. You would be done. You play Patrick Mahomes.
