Week 14 Studs & Stinkers + Weekly Rewind, Awesome Ekeler!

of Cortland Sutton. I mean, it was only four targets, but Noah Fant is, he's a big play guy. He's yards after catch. If you watch the first one where the pass actually was almost picked off that drew lock through. So the defender, the defender tried to jump the route opening things up for Fant who's able to run down the field. But once he gets going, man, hopefully Noah Fant could become one of these George Kittle, Mark Andrews type of players next year. The two players that you need to pay attention to.

Tyler Higby, Ian Thomas, in terms of value at tight end, 11 targets and 10 targets. You want to chase those kind of numbers. And Higby has Dallas next week. If ever is out again, Higby seems to be very involved. If Cooper Cup had a little bit better arm, he would have had a second touchdown in this game. Oh, yeah. That's true. And Ian Thomas, Mike, you mentioned it.

Great opportunity. Oh, my goodness. And next week. Seattle. Greg Olson only missed the game with concussion, so we have no idea where he is in the protocol if he's going to be back. But if he is out, Ian Thomas against the freaking Seahawks. The Seahawks cannot guard the tight end. They're exactly like Arizona. It's why Higby was a good play this week. And Higby went crazy. Yeah. Oh, I guess you need to mention, since we are in these studs of the week, Arizona's tight end defense.

did it. They just needed Duck Hodges at quarterback. Well, and they... Vance McDonald's to leave with injury. And a Vance McDonald concussion. Yeah, but he wasn't doing anything. Well, he still could have. Yeah, you never know, Andy. Yeah. Stinkers of the week, presented by odor eaters. Van's McDonald. Yeah, I know. This is, this is actually the most painful segment from, like, this week, next week.

It's all right, but this is what we're here. We're here to just rub in your loss. No, no, no, no. We're here to lift you up and understand that, you know. Empathized. This is what happened, man. We're here for you. We feel what you feel. I think he just wants to talk about Russell Wilson. He is so excited to talk about Russell. Wait, the guy who's been the quarterback 16 or lower in six of his past seven weeks. That is a disaster. That's a guy that is. I mean, Jason was basically in his underwear.

running around with Russell Wilson's number tattooed on his chest for the first half of the year. And here's Mike. Let me just take people back. Let me take people back in time. I can't do the sound effect for going back in time. Thank you. That was more of a bibbidi-bobbidi-booboo. When we were in California, we did the Rich Eisen Show, we're at our hotel. We did the beach race where Brooks ran into the ocean and won some money.

And then I think that same night, apparently, you two spent like two hours in the hotel lobby yelling at each other. Yes. Everything was shut down. There is no one around except for Jason, I, and our manager. And we are.

I mean, it was definitely, there was no animosity, but it became a very spirited debate. Yeah, just going back and forth on whether or not, you know, he's going to get it done or not. And I, and that's where. Back and forth is the right phrase. Back and forth is the right phrase for Russell Wilson, who has been very bad lately. But that is where we came up with the.

Top 12 water bet, probably the most important bet of the year because we were both so passionate about it. And I realized Russell Wilson has been bad, but he's also the quarterback four. And I'm going to win. You're going to win. Which really stinks because Russell Wilson has five performances. You're going to win. But fantasy owners are going to lose. Yes. That is fair. And so, Mike, you helped people. And I was right.

Russell gets to play Carolina next week. Well, that's the question. If you made it through with Russell, which is possible. And then Arizona, yeah, I'll play him. Do you play them in the next two weeks? Yeah, I would. Okay, Baker Mayfield. But it was such a good matchup. Here's a little hot tip. Cincinnati's been a really bad matchup for like four weeks for quarterbacks. Which we mentioned last week because Darnold had struggled, and they aren't doing what they did at the beginning of the year.

All around, it's not just for quarterbacks. You know, if you look at them. If you look at them, that's what? Brooks, is that a misprint? Oh, one second. I think that's got to do. Okay, 192. Oh, goodness. You're fired, Brooks. Yes. Understandable. Pack your things. But wait until after you produce the show. Make sure you get it up on YouTube first. Make sure it's on Spotify as well. And then pack. Pack and then those things. Scooch.

Baker Mayfield. But be back here tomorrow, okay. Baker plays, same place. Same time, same time. Half pay. Oh. Oh, that's very generous of you. Thank you. Baker plays Arizona next week. Nope. Oh, yes. Oh, gosh. That's a hard one. No, that's not hard at all. I will play Baker Mayfield against Arizona. Baker, May, Arizona is hot trash. Duck Hodges, fine. How dare you, Mike? They are steamy hippopotamus.

No, I'm a big fan of trash, and I don't like the comparison. Yeah, I've insulted your garbage. Yes. Baker Mayfield is in play next week. He is. I think he is. He is. They did win. They won the game. Big winner. Big winner. Nice. Baker Mayfield, greater sign Tom Brady. Oh. Brady lost. The hot streak is over. All right.

Alvin Camara, what do you do? You talk about going into next year with O'Dell Beckham mindset and framing things. How are people going to frame Alvin Camara after what is, at a minimum, a disappointing season, bordering on bust if he knocked you out of the playoffs this week, and a game with 48 versus 46 points to go 13 for 25, 4 for 18 on 6 targets, fumbled. I mean, this is...

This is a bust. This is a bust after this week. After this week, it's an official bust. You were frustrated, but you could have gotten to the playoffs. And if you got to the playoffs with Camara, I hope that you made it through and your opponent had a rough day. And I do believe, you know, look, better days are in store. But he's an absolute bust for what you thought you were drafting this year.

And he hurt you because of where you drafted him. Like Sony Michelle is an epic bust. But he wasn't a first round. Right. He's a fourth round guy that's like, eh, whatever. All right. No Snell phone coverage. Benny Snell, 16 for 41. We're allowing that. And a fumble. Wait, I just heard it. It just got to my ears. Did he say no Snell phone coverage? He certainly did. You're done right. I did. Oh, that what? Oh, do we, hold on. What do you? What is?

Oh, and B, you got to be kind. I like, oh, zero. No, no, I'll give that a three. No, for Mike, that's like a five to, five to six. All right. I would never tell a joke like that. There are a lot of people upset with Benny Snell's performance against Arizona. Thank you for the one. It's a sympathy one. You gave me a sympathy one. What do you make of this? I mean, James Connor is supposed to be back next week. They play Buffalo. I'm, I, I really believe that James Connor is back, so it'll be a moot point. All right.

Hey, look, Chiefs running backs were worthless. McCoy, Thompson, Ware. Stink, stank, stunk. I mean, just... Nice. We said to stay away from all Chiefs running backs and even the Niners running backs, and we were right with everybody across the boarding. Except for Moster. Except for Moster. Yeah. Moster got it done. But Spencer Ware, for all the Darwin Thompson truthers out there, Spencer Ware from the couch, received more carries than Darwin Thompson.

Yeah, Darwin did have four for 36 in the passing game. Probably the best fantasy day was Darwin over LaShawn McCoy in a PPR league. That's embarrassing. It is. It is. The best fantasy day for LaShawn McCoy or for, yeah. I'm not surprised Spencer Ware was on the field. Yeah. It was a messy situation. I'm not surprised because he knows the offense and trust. And we saw this with Charkandrick West before. Right. The exact same thing. Off the street, Char West gets re-signed.

He's on the field for a billion snows. Does this give you more confidence when Damien Williams comes back because nobody's good? Sort of. But yeah, you can't. Are you able to play Damien if he's active next week? I need to give it a week. I think you'll be, we'll ask the question all week along. We'll be saying. Fair enough. Stay tuned. Stay tuned. Matt Brita, six for 54. Classic Matt Berita. I mean, he is a monster. Just didn't get a lot of work.

and probably can't start him. Jamal Williams? Well, all right, Devante Adams. Oh, goodness. How disappointing was this? Very. Very disappointing. If you had him, I had him. I'm with you. I mean, you made it through without him. Well, I hope. If Carson wins outscores Alshon Jeffrey by five points, I made it through without Devante Adams. Who needs that guy? Get your mind right, Devonte.

You want to know another bet you lost? No? The DK Metcalf Tyler Lockett bet. Oh, goodness. Tyler Lockett is, you can't play him right now. I agree. You cannot play him right now. Four for 43. Carolina and Arizona. Oh, gosh. Watch me play him. I keep forgetting. No.

Oh, all right. We'll come up with another Tyler Lockett. Anybody, any starts a question has an answer. Like Lockett's going to get started over a lot of trash. We've already got the bets right in front of us, Jason. Tyler Lockett versus O'Dill Beckham. Oh, against Arizona. Beckham was two for 39. Bad options against two great matchups and which one do you want to? And both players might be hurt right now. That's true. So I will go with.

Mark East Brown. I will go with O'Dell Beckham in that situation. I will go with the passing volume. I don't think Carolina, you can run on them easier than you can run on Arizona. And the Seattle offense is built to run the football. I will go with O'Dell Beckham this week and Tyler Lockett next week. Just give me those Arizona matchups. Yeah. Cortland Sutton 5 for 34. Disappointing performance in a game where Drew Locke dominated. It just wasn't a Cortland Sutton week. No touchdowns.

Seven targets didn't make a play. I'm a little surprised that Brooks let Julio Jones off the hook here. Is he not in the stinkers? No. I mean, five for 66. He belongs there. Yeah, he does. Because even though five for 66 might be an okay game in the playoffs. Yeah, like Sammy Watkins is like, please. Because I, look, I had him. I survived the Julio Devante Adams. That's.

The fact that both Adams and Jones. Not without whining and complaining about them every 30 seconds for eight hours in a row. That's how I got through it. Mentally. Emotionally. Yes. Coping. Yeah. Anger. It's tilting. But yeah, Julio, very disappointing. Yeah. Actually, he's had some, he's been pretty disappointing over the last like six to eight weeks. Well, to be fair to him in the game against Tampa, he was hurt. So he was only in about half the game. But.

Your ending stateline is still 5 for 68. So that's two straight games. Do you have his consistency chart up? I can grab it real quick. Yeah, I'd be curious. His fantasy finishes for the last six weeks of playing. And you have to factor injury in to the Julio Jones equation in general. Julio's going from last week backwards was the Water Super 32, 20, 30. Then it was his by week.

Yeah, that's been a rough. I mean, that's not good. He's not killed you. He's not done like he wasn't originally in this, you know, stinker segment because he didn't kill you. I think he, I think that's killing fantasy owners for where he's, what he's supposed to be on your team. Sure. Yes. If your one is putting up a wide receiver 30 performance and you never get that, that breakout. But apparently Al Borland also survived the Julio Adams stack. Oh, wow.

What a nice stack that seems like it should be. Yeah. I mean, ridiculous. Get it together, guys. I'm going to need you next week. Yeah, you guys should have been playing Pascal. Hey. Hollywood Brown, three catches, negative two yards on three targets. Impressive work. I feel like you kind of could see that one. We said sit him. The matchup was tough and he was on the injury report all week. Sit him. Sit John Brown. Yep.

Brown and Brown flush him down. Yeah. Oh, I get what you did. Yeah. John Brown. Snell phone. We said it's getting worse. Yeah, John Brown, we said to bench him this past week. It was a difficult matchup, but his targets have completely shifted. He has beaten up the easy opponents and has really disappeared against difficult matchups. Cole Beasley got another touchdown this last week.
