Week 9 Matchups + Bad Jokes, Luton Free Zone - Fantasy Football Podcast for 11/6

And I get it. He'll be targeted, but right now it feels like you're going to get, you know, four for 40 for Noah fan and a lower opportunity at a touchdown. Albert O, you said, hey, he's only got one target. You know what it was? It was a touchdown. They bring him in the red zone and they throw him the jump ball because he can leap through the moon. So.

Through the moon, right through it. Right through the moon. Not onto it, not over it. You see, it's made out of cheese. You can definitely go right through it. You want to leap through the moon at the combine. He wants the moon to look like his name. It's a big O. Yeah. Brooks, who would you pick out of those two? Oh, come on. That was a great joke. That was a bad joke. He's a big O. Yeah. Man. All right, two questions. Brooks, would you play Jared Cook or Noah Fant?

We're taking a poll for Jason's actual roster right now, just for the, for the listeners. Yeah. I'll go Jared Kuuk. All right. And two, uh, on a scale of, uh, one to 10, how great was my big O cheese moon joke. Give it a seven. All right. That's a, that's great. Brooks, you're a man of the people. I mean, just saying how, having him rate a big O cheese moon joke, not good, man. You're right.

You sign his checks. All right. The New England Patriots at 2 and 5 taking on the New York Jets on Monday night football. What? No, they're not going to do this to us. Well, the game's not going to be aired. It's not going to be aired. Don't they have rules about how they can move these games? This is bad. This is bad, bad. The Jets at 0 and 8. The Patriots at 2 and 5. Patriots are 7-point favorites. It's a 42.5 point over under. And they'll win the game.

Of course they'll win the game. They're playing against the Jets. But I mean. Oh, oh no. Jason. Is Jason thinking about his own little almost upset here? That face says you have something to say. I mean, I know it's stupid and it's conspiracy, but they play the Jets two more times. Oh, were they going to throw? If they were to lose those two games, the Patriots could get the number one pick. And that's not, well, no, I want to say that's not Belichick's way. Belichick plays to win. But Belichick,

plays to win. Look, we've all been in Dynasty Leagues. What do you do when you're rebuilding? You know what's best for your team. I mean, here's the reality. For fantasy football, there's not much to this game. It's going to be a low over-under. Cam Newton can be started because of his booty scooting. He's going to be running the ball. He's still been a top 12 option, the majority of his weeks, even in these terrible games. I don't want to start him, but you can.

end of the list on the New England side of the ball. Yeah, this is not complicated. We don't have to linger. In fact, it's painful to linger on these two teams right now with a combined win total of two combined. You're not starting Darnold. You're not starting P-run. You're not starting gore. If Crowder is back and active. No. Yeah, I mean, if Crowder's back and active while he's not been practicing against the...

Pretty good defense. What that says is you can't even try to start your Braxton, Berrios, and Mims. I think it's Cam Newton in this game, an end of list on both sides of the ball. Really? That's how I view it. I'm fine playing Damien Harris in this matchup. I know that Sony Michelle is coming back, but he will not be back yet. I agree with you. I think Damian Harris is a somebody you can put out there over Jordan Howard. Yes. He's been impressive enough with his opportunities. Yeah, it's the Patriots. You might get Belichick. It could happen. But.

We've now seen double-digit opportunities for Damien Harris in three of his four games, including two games of over 100-plus rushing yards. So I'm fine playing Damien Harris here. The Jets are 17th against fantasy of running backs right now. It could be worse. All right. That is it for the matchups. We're not talking about that game anymore. A reminder again, the game day alerts on Sunday. One more segment for you.

Prop it like it's hot, presented by Monkey Knife Fight. All right, this has been extremely fun all year long. I encourage you to go to ballerspicks.com. Use the code ballers. Participate with us on these more or lesses on monkey knife fight. Favorite prop of the week. I know you're not going to like it, Jason. But I'm going John Brown. The line is set at 54.5 receiving yards. I don't like it. And I am taking...

I'm taking the less. I am not in on John Brown this week. I brought it up during the shows earlier in the week that him recovering from injuries, it just takes a long time. He has dealt with not just the injuries, but a lack of productivity, even though the snap counts have been up there. 96% of snaps against Kansas City, no receptions. 81% of snaps last week, 21 total yards. He had a great start to the year, but he was fully healthy at that time.

I don't think he's there yet. Limited on Wednesday's practice. I actually think he didn't practice at all on Wednesday. They are still managing this perceived injury. So I think it's fewer than 54 yards in this game. If he's injured, I get it. That's why I pulled him back from my start of the week. He was going to be because the matchup is so juicy, and I love it. He was a full participant in Thursday's practice. So that was a great sign, but obviously.

If you miss Wednesday, then at the very least you need rest. And he is an injury prone player. I hate to give him that label more of a high history with injuries. But I would take the more on yours. And let me tell you what. He's slow to recoverate. Yeah. Let me tell you why I would take more on John Brown. Mike, you're up. Because I have Josh Allen, the more or less is 275 and a half passing yards. And I am taking the more. The Seattle Seahawks have held.

a passer under that number only once they are allowing an average of more than 350 passing yards per game. And Josh Allen, it's been of a down couple weeks for him after his electric start. I get it. But still, in more than half of Josh Allen's games, we have seen him throw for more than 275 yards. We've seen him surpassed the 300-yard mark as well. And I believe that...

Josh Allen can get past this 275 threshold, even if John Brown is held under the 54, as Andy is projecting, was Stefan Diggs is going to just eat hamburgers all over this field. Colby's. I love it. I am a big fan of that one. Why is he doing that? Because they're delicious. I don't know. Catching the football? Well, he'll catch one hand and he'll... That was like a combo of like, you were going to say he's going to go ham. Yeah.

And then now he's eating hamburger. I have taken that. What did you have this morning already? Oh, that was a sausage. Oh, that wasn't a hamburger? Yeah, that was that was sausage. But I've taken the go hamburger and I have ascended the comment. And we've created something new and a masterpiece. I'm going to throw out there. I'm fully in. I'm fully in. I hope you feel good about yourself, Mike, because Mr. Cheese Moon Circle joke just loved your joke. Yeah, congratulations. Anyway, so Cole Beasley has also been.

been great. Last week was an anomaly because of the weather, but with the weapons that he has, I think that Josh Allen will have more than 275 and a half passing yards. Yeah, two out of the last three games have been weather bowls for Josh Allen. This one projects to have no weather. I love this game. Andy, I'm going to bring up here a baller pick that I don't think you're going to like, and I don't think I like, and I don't think Mike's going to like. DeAndre Hopkins, more or less than seven and a half receptions.

I love me some DeAndre Hopkins, but it's going to be less than seven and a half receptions. Even though he's been great, he's actually failed to hit that mark of basically eight receptions in three of his last four games. The Dolphins' defense is super underrated. They're playing well. And I don't think that their offense forces the Cardinals to really need to throw the ball a lot. I think they're going to run more in this game. So that's pretty high to me, seven and a half. I'm taking the less.

Yeah, and you're not hurting my feelings there. Give DeAndre Hopkins seven receptions, and I'm going to be happy with the result. He's been scoring, and that's a high number to hit for any wide receiver. So I think it's possible, but I get it. I definitely get it. All right, like I said, ballerspicks.com.
