The Halloween Show, Trick-or-Trade, Players That Will Haunt You!

But when you lose, you're starting running back and you're starting quarterback and you have the injuries that they've had, you get a free pass. And when he was hired, John Lynch, that was the perspective. It was like this is a multi-year build. Sure. Just saying, I mean. One in seven, though. Games without Jimmy Garapolo as his quarterback. He's won one. He's won a game. Yeah, that's because he hasn't had anybody. And look at C.J. Bethard, he might not even have him in this Thursday night game. Good luck. He is questionable.

The next two up on the Debt chart are Nick Mullins. This is where you say, who? Yeah. Or Tom Savage. That's where I was looking. I was like, oh, man, were we going to get some Tom Savage? I mean, it's not. Get the Raiders D! And then you got Matt Berita in this matchup. Look, Matt Berita and George Kittle are the only two that I'm glancing at for the San Francisco side. You're obviously playing Kittle. He's going to soak up targets, but it hurts Kittle if Bether's not out there. Yes. I would also be willing to look at Goodwin.

Goodwin had a breakway touchdown, always has that ability. And the Raiders defense, they don't have anybody over there that's going to really scare me. Now, this is dependent upon C.J. Betherd being the quarterback. C.J. Betherd has been able to air it out. throws a pretty accurate deep ball. So if C.J. Betherd is in, then I'm okay flexing on a bi-week, you know, the bi-apocalypse, a Goodwin type. Goodwin scored a touchdown every other week. Oh, no. He scored last week. Oh, yeah. These trends continue.

That's my kind of guy every other week. And then look, the 49ers are third most rushing yards in the league. Matt Brita was out there for 16 totes last week. And he's facing an Oakland Raiders defense that is 28th in the league in terms of fantasy points allowed to the running back position. And if Bethard, whether he's out there or not, they're going to lean on the running game. Can you trust? That's what I was going to ask is the matchup is juicy. Matt Brita is.

is actually good, but he goes down every single week. Yeah, any running. You saw the hit the hit points were depleting rapidly with every single carry this past week. Yes, but every single running back in the league can go down. You have to play Matt Brita. He's close to a must start this week is how I view him. Much better than a most sturt. Oh, yeah. If you go most sturt, you may end up. You may end up as the colonel on the bench with the clipboard. Correct. And look.

The only thing that I'd like to see from Brita is he hasn't caught a pass in three weeks. He's got one pass in the last four weeks, and I know he's been in and out of the lineup. That's bizarre for Bethard. But no pass catches from Brita. Last week, though, a number of carries, and all indications are that he's okay. Raiders gave up 42 fantasy points to the Colts RBBC last week, so there's an opportunity there. On the other side of the ball, Jason, you talked about streaming Derek Carr. It looks pretty nice. I mean, the 49ers defense is...

25th in the league in terms of fancy points allowed against the quarterback position. Car looked good last week. Doug Martin, Jenlon Richard. I think you can start both of those guys. If I had to pick one this week, it would actually be Cranpus. Oh, no. In the holiday spirit, he's coming for your children on Christmas. Gobble, gobble, going to eat them. Because this isn't a game that I expect.

the Raiders to be trailing in, need to throw the ball as, you know, quite as much in the checkdown situation where I think Jalen Richard excels. I'm totally fine starting Richard. He'll get five or six receptions. I just don't think it's one of those where, you know, like last week, the Colts got out to a good start and then you've got to be passing a little bit more. I do still obviously like Derek Carr. He was my streamer of the week.

I think Bethard being out there is going to help both sides a lot because you want a competitive game. Richard is not catching eight passes if the Raiders defense scores on Nick Mullins or Tom Savage. Agreed. Agreed. If Savage is the quarterback, then Derek Carr becomes much less of a desired streaming candidate because while he could still get off to a good start against this 49ers defense, he won't have to.

And it'll be Mullins, by the way. I mean, if Bethard's out, it'll be Mullins. Question. If you're going to play, if you're going to stream the Oakland defense, they are not getting to the quarterback. They have the few of sacks in the league. They are allowing the second most points per game in the league 31 points. Oakland's defense against this guy that you've known that the vast majority of our audience has never heard of.

Are you interested? I am not. And Jason, you can speak for your own perspective. I looked into this earlier today. I'm not interested. They have not done. Look, most defenses have had an opportunistic game or two here or there. For example, look at the Colts against the Buffalo Bills. The Colts defense was just an absolute trash bag. Then you put the right matchup in front of him in their...

a top scoring defense of the week. It's worked both directions, though. The Bears were the best defense in football, and they faced Brock Osweather and ended up in a bad situation. So what I, I want to put myself in the best position to put talent matched up with matchup. And if you can't do it outside of Oakland, okay, then you're stuck. But if you can, I'm not looking at it like, it's a guarantee, right? They're going to run the football. They've been five a carry on the ground. Oakland stinks defending the run. It doesn't mean the 49ers can't win this game because Oakland stinks.

Yeah, I'm not all that interested as well. When you look at the season totals of what the 49ers are given up to DSTs, it looks great. They're one of the worst out there. But most, they've had a couple monster games where they've given up a ton of points. It's really skyrocketing them to look like a terrible team. And those were against the Los Angeles Rams, the Minnesota Vikings, and the Arizona Cardinals. All three have decent defenses. I'm hoping that maybe.

The hometown Cardinals can dress up as a real NFL team the rest of the year. Oh, that would be such a Halloween. For Halloween? For Halloween? Right. But that is it. They're on by. Yeah. Well, they're not going to lose. It's true. There's no chance. So hope you enjoy the show. And if you're not listening or watching, I should say, on YouTube, you might want to check it out.
