it's clear that they're using him around the goal line as just a guy that can create a little bit of separation. And then this coming week, he's at Pittsburgh, then at New England. I think this is, you say, John Brown, great season, buddy. I'll see you next year. Yeah, you drop, drop ski. I think you're right. Yeah. And why, did we not mention Aaron Rogers? We did not mention Aaron Rogers? He belongs there. Does he?

53:38 ↗

Yeah. I believe he had one touchdown. I mean, this was the game where you were supposed to play, play, cut. You're right. I mean, Aaron Rogers. That's a terrible game. Again, for the expectations, he was a lot of people's number one quarterback on the week. He was my number one, but this, I mean, this is-195 and one. Now fantasy players don't have to look at the plan and question it. Yes. This is a mercy.

54:03 ↗

Yes. This is a mercy killing. Yes. And I, hopefully you're still in the playoffs. No, Lambo's not. Mr. Al Borland is out because of your, your best friend, Aaron. How do you feel about that? It was really because of Emmanuel Sanders, but yeah, the Aaron Rogers start hurt. What if he threw two more touchdowns? Would you still been in it? Nope.

54:24 ↗

Yeah, Manuel Sanders did that to a lot of people. But this was hugely disappointing. Washington, the matchup was supposed to be, you know. When your quarterback completely disappoints to a large degree, it's very difficult to win those weeks. Yeah, like Russell last night. Exactly. I think most people with Aaron Rogers probably are not moving on to the next round. Let's just in from Brandon Cook. Yeah.

54:53 ↗

He is not playable. See you next year, buddy. And then Tyrault Williams can't play him. James and Crowder. It was fun while it lasted. Another seven targets. It's over. And then Baltimore, Pittsburgh on the next two weeks. No, no, no, no, no. Yeah. And then James Washington, four for 33, not a good game. His pants are not that large yet. They're not that large, but they were for this week. Yeah, the Arizona matchup had people playing them. Yeah, he was probably being played.

55:22 ↗

Yeah, at tight end, I feel like you got to start it off with Vance McDonald. I know he exited in the third quarter with a concussion. Maybe he could have done something up to that point did nothing. And against Arizona, everyone was disappointed, similar to James Washington. He didn't have big pants, but the matchup.

55:38 ↗

Made you play him. Arizona hands you a pair of giant pants. The tight ends, they get handed. Like put these on. In the locker room? You're going to need these. Just stuff with points normally. And thankfully, McDonald's stuff them with something else. I did tell people, I did tell people all week. I said, you know, Vance McDonald, while he's got the great matchup, there's probably a better option. You can easily go get Jack Doyle.

56:03 ↗

Who stunk. Oh, we're in the stinkers of the week. Jack Doyle, two for 27 on six targets. Yeah, baby hands. Baby hands. Catch the ball. There were like three plays. I was like, just catch it. And Kyle Rudolph, the hot streak ended for Kyle Rudolph. Yeah. The way it's written in the dock, I almost read it as negative one catch for 14 yards, which would have been really impressive. And Austin Hooper on his return.

56:29 ↗

That stinks, man. Six targets, but just two catches. And Jacob Hollister had some drops yesterday, too, only four for 34. So the Austin Hooper one really hurts. It's ironic, though, because so Austin Hooper, Jack Doyle, Jacob Hollister, all three, stinkers of the week, terrible. All three, I am absolutely not jumping off or abandoning a ship. They had six targets each. All three had a couple drops. You know.

56:56 ↗

Titans are always going to have bad games. And I don't. Doyle's done it a little bit more than some of the others in terms of disappearing. And he's not the athlete that a Noah Fant is. So if Noah Fant was out there, I would be pivoting from Jack Doyle onto the Noah Fant upside. No way. Absolutely. I would stick with the targets. I mean, you also have to factor in, I guess they did score 35 points. But I was like, they had the, uh,

57:20 ↗

defensive touchdown. Yeah, they had that. And then Jacoby had the 45-yard touchdown to Johnson, which then takes away opportunity. I mean, some things were, some things that won't normally happen were up against Jack Doyle. I'd stick with the targets. I mean, Noah fans been outperforming him over the last five weeks as well. So I don't think that's a leap. It's not like Jack Doyle's been a monster. Assuming I'm in the playoffs next week on my dynasty roster, I have.

57:49 ↗

Noah Fant and Jack Doyle. So I will have to make this decision. You have to look at upside. I think nobody's going to argue that Noah Fent has less upside than Jack Doyle. No, Fant can do the George Kittle 68 yard touchdown. Jack Doyle's never run 68 consecutive yards in his life. Yeah, I had the pleasure of watching Noah Fant and Hayden Hearst on my bench with Jack Doyle in my lineup. Yeah, maybe it's a little painful. But you got through. Stinkers of the week.

58:17 ↗

Presented by odor eaters, odor eaters, the best in foot odor defense. Might need a little extra this week. If it costs you a playoff spot, I'm sorry. Get those sweaty feet while you're watching.
