The old Ducers card meets a live festive producer row
The prerecorded opening card names Brooks/Judge Giamatti, Jeremy/Owl Borland, and Kyle/The Borgogon. The live show later cuts to three human producers during Brooks's 4D-chess reply and again during the Owl roast. Kyle is separately said to be on an airplane, so the third live person remains unidentified rather than being assigned from the old card.
moment
Papa Josh invents legal-evil Stafford recycling
With Andy holding one dollar and his Herbert-less opponent holding none, Papa Josh spends two dollars on Matthew Stafford despite already having two quarterbacks and a playoff bye. His plan is to make Andy burn the dollar, immediately cut Stafford, and deliver him to Andy's opponent. A waiver-priority change saves Andy, but the desk still calls the maneuver legal evil, 4D chess, and the work of an enemy-of-Andy villain.
moment
Eliminated Jason becomes a dangerous fantasy laser
The hosts explain that every time Jason is eliminated from one league, all of that energy combines and focuses into the few teams still alive, becoming a powerful laser that is dangerous for the actual players.
moment
Mike outsources his quarterback disaster to Schmike
Faced with Jared Goff, Joe Flacco, and Jake Browning in a must-win game, Mike asks on behalf of a very good friend named Schmike. When the hosts describe living in Schmike's shoes, Mike insists his own shoes are stunning sneakers.
moment
Davis Mills needs a tree-trunk-neck wardrobe
The return of Davis Mills becomes the return of his neck: long but not skinny, a large tree trunk, difficult to fit through a shirt, and therefore best served by buttons or a tank top. The published video never leaves the host desk for a neck image.
moment
Nico Collins moves to Sketchtown
A possibly active Nico Collins with a reaggravated calf is simultaneously too difficult to bench and too difficult to start. The hosts ask whether a middle state exists, name the place Sketchtown, and call the result an unfortunately purgatorious start.
moment
DeVito's agent may have manufactured the whole character
The hosts cannot define the agent's Italian hand gesture but all understand its effect. They call him a riot and a wild character, then speculate that four months earlier he may have looked ordinary before deliberately adding a fedora and pinstripes as smart marketing. No agent image appears in the published video.
moment
Owl looks like the Colts run defense
A claim that Najee Harris cannot be a sexy start becomes an escalating Owl Borland appearance roast. The hosts love Al as a human but reject his aesthetics, compare glasses-off Owl with Jason, say one is ugly and one beautiful, equate Owl with the terrible Indianapolis run defense, and describe him as an innocent pedestrian hit by a brick. The close calls him beautiful only on the inside.
moment
Boom Boom finally writes something intelligent
Jason's Ironclad, Locked and Loaded, 100% Guaranteed Boom Boom Kicker verse recaps his 101 butt, lives the Boom Boom journey, puts kickers on a gurney, and selects Buffalo's Tyler Bass. The hosts call it their favorite and say the writing is finally intelligent after roughly thirteen or fourteen stinkers.
summary
Episode notes
Complete storyboard review and targeted published-frame checks show Andy, Jason, and Mike live at the main desk for the full episode, with no fourth host, cardboard bear, Jay Griz image, Jay cue, physical punishment, or live special costume. The prerecorded WITH THE DUCERS card visibly labels Brooks as Judge Giamatti, Jeremy as Owl Borland, and Kyle as The Borgogon. Live camera cuts at approximately 00:07:55 and 01:09:36 show a three-human producer row beneath the DUCERS ALLEY sign; Brooks is the addressed responder in the first cut and wears the same visible red-and-white festive cap described in the surrounding December shows, while the later cut accompanies the named Owl/Al roast. The third live producer is not identified here. Kyle is explicitly said to be on an airplane, so his bumper portrait is not promoted into a live appearance. The central League of Record story casts Papa Josh as an evil genius: he spends $2 on Matthew Stafford so Andy will burn his last $1 blocking the same player, plans to cut Stafford for Andy's quarterback-needy opponent, and almost succeeds until waiver priority flips. The desk calls it legal evil and 4D chess, says Josh can access advanced intelligence only when channeling evil rather than production, and contrasts the villain arc with his pope-like integrity tweets. Elsewhere, Jason's remaining fantasy energy after eliminations is described as combining into a laser dangerous to players; Mike's awful quarterback choice is anonymized as belonging to his friend Schmike; Davis Mills owns a thick tree-trunk neck that allegedly requires button shirts or tank tops; and an active-but-fragile Nico Collins is placed in the newly coined middle ground of Sketchtown, an unfortunately purgatorious start. Tommy DeVito's agent inspires a dialogue-only fedora-and-pinstripe marketing theory—no agent photograph or costume graphic is shown. The Starts of the Week segment turns Najee Harris's lack of sexiness into a sustained Owl Borland appearance roast. The hosts compare Owl with Jason, ask for glasses-off inspection, say Owl looks like the Colts run defense, and reduce him to a man hit by a brick while walking to work; the close apologetically calls Al beautiful only on the inside. Finally, Jason's Ironclad Boom Boom Kicker verse sends kickers to a gurney and selects Tyler Bass. The hosts call it their favorite and their first intelligent writing after thirteen or fourteen stinkers. Direct video confirms a produced green animation with a white horse, a helmeted Jason composite, and cannons; those are graphic elements, not live props or attire. Tomorrow's Wheel of Shame is previewed, but no wheel, spin, costume, or punishment occurs in this episode.
You're going to start Joe Mix and you're going to start Jamar Chase. I would personally start Justin Jefferson and T.J. Hawkins. Those are like the ends. And then you've just got to make decisions based on your roster, whether you're willing to throw in T. Higgins or Jordan Addison. And I'm probably looking somewhere else. Like you said, Andy, it's a low over under, two backup quarterbacks, you know, second or third targets in their offense. I would prefer to look elsewhere. Let's move on. Pittsburgh 7 and 6, Colts 7 and 6, Draft King Sportsbook Line, Indianapolis, minus one and a half at home.
Over under's 42 points. Both teams currently holding the final wildcard spots for the AFC. We already know that Kenny Pickett's not going to be available. Mitchell Trubisky. Oh, hero. He was a quarterback eight. Yeah. He played like the quarterback 50. Oh, it's so ridiculous. He did not deserve that. No, he bumbled his way to QBA. He was terrible. And he got you guys to buy, right? Played poorly. Shut up. He didn't. He did not. We don't need it. That's what he doesn't need to buy. I mean, it was not his fault. He tried to get it to us. So Pittsburgh's lost three or four. They look real bad with Mitchell Trevisky. The Colts, Gardner Minshew throws the ball a ton. Michael Pittman is a must start every single week. Josh Downs has been a disappointment. I think you take them off the probably have better options, is what I'm saying. Josh Downs just hasn't gotten it done.
Neither is George Pickens who, you know, now his complaints are drawing the ire of Mike Tomlin, who was finally frustrated with those. Oh, did he finally get there? You guys didn't see that? I did not. I mean, he had been throughout the season. Defending him. When he was asked about George Pickens, it was kind of just, ah, like I want my players to have that fire. Yeah, that's changed. We have we moved on? Yeah, he sees what everyone else is seeing now. He basically just came out and said, look at the problem when it's not solutions oriented anymore. And nothing he's doing now is trying to make things better or create a solution. And so Pickens, see you later. Josh Downs, no thanks. We're about to Claypool here? Always. Pickens is always one blow of the wind away from a clay pool. But let's get to the bigger questions in this game, which is, you know, I think Diomte Johnson's a wide receiver three to flex. Yeah, that's fine. I think that's fine. And then Zach Moss has had a ton of opportunities. Let's remember last week, had a 10-yard
Touchdown run on a questionable holding call. Got called back. So it impacted him. But you look for opportunities, don't you? I mean, 22 and 21, the last two weeks. I'm in. Yeah, I do want to point out, Deontay Johnson was not on the injury report Tuesday, was it did not participate for a knee injury on Wednesday. So you do need to monitor that. Deonton Johnson seems like a- He's been sitting. Is it a new injury or a same injury? I think it is new. I will see if I can find more information, but I saw a report. He's been doing that. To, you know, pay attention. Okay. Yeah, I know last week the exact same thing happened for Deante Johnson, but it's a good point. Last week, Johnson was not on the injury report. Well, he missed practice. He should have been on the injury report. Yeah. Maybe it was the week before. I could be mistaken. Jalen Warren, Zach Moss. What are you doing there? Jalen, Harris, Moss. I would play Moss of all of them.
Even though the Colts defense a much better running matchup, do you have any confidence in Warren with the opportunities going down? I mean, I'm, I have more confidence in Najee. The new regime seems to prefer him over Jalen Warren. They're both fine because the Colts on the season, 32nd, so they are dead last against running back. So they will give up points. But it's how exactly is it divvied up? Najee's sitting in about 16 opportunities per game. I'm okay with Najee. Warren, I think, is a bit more sketchy. You have to get that one big play. And then between the three of them, Jack Moss, you know, 22, 21 opportunities. It didn't pan out. But I'm more confident in this matchup for Moss. I mean, the last matchup against Cincinnati was great for Moss. And what's crazy is...
He's not just had a lot of opportunities, which he has, you know, plus 20 in both weeks. Right. But he's had valuable opportunities. He had both weeks, two carries inside the five, nine carries combined inside the 10. Like he's had really valuable touches that he just hasn't been getting it done, which is shocking considering how talented, I believe this player is. Yeah, I mean, you. He's just, he's, you got so excited. But he's going to, he's going to make sure to play his way to getting Jonathan Taylor back on that field quick. I would rather, I think I would rather play Najee. Over Moss? Over Moss. They are very, very similar here to me. They're high volume players, both with decent matchups. But the matchup against the Colts is maybe the best in football for running backs. Them or Carolina. Pat Frymuth, any confidence with Mitchell Tribusky?
If Deontay Johnson is out, for some reason, if that happens by the end of the week, I would be more confident, but otherwise, no. Usually when Mitchell Trubisky has played with a full allotment of weapons, Deontay Johnson has a very healthy target share. Last two weeks for Frye Me, three for 29, three for 18. I'd be trying to find somebody else. Yeah, I agree. Like Moe Alley Cox, you know, who has like seven catches on the year? No, I wouldn't do that. Denver, seven and six, Detroit, nine and four. Drafking Sportsbook Line Detroit minus four. Over Under is 48. And, you know, Sean Payton and the Broncos, they have won six of seven games. They keep getting it done. Cortland Sutton keeps scoring touchdowns. Giovante Williams is averaging 17.6 opportunities per game. There's kind of a core group that you can start on the Denver side, and that's, you know, those three guys. Russ, I think, is a streamer.
I agree. But Sutton is in. Javonte is in, and I don't really think there's big discussions. I mean, the Lions defense has been struggling in particular against quarterbacks and wide receivers, but in general. They're still, they've been struggling for themselves against running backs as well. They are still a tough defense against running backs, but their whole defense is starting to collapse. So I am fine with all these players. I am so. weirdly disappointed in Giovante Williams. This was the time where he was supposed to get everything together, and his opportunities have been there. I mean, you look at, you know, you just said since the by week, since the by week, why don't you read his yards per attempt? Yeah, so his yards per attempt since the by week, 3.8, 3.4, 3.6, 3.5, 3.9. He has averaged, looks like 20 opportunities a game. That is a number that...
guarantees fantasy success. And his, you know, three of those four games, six fantasy points, eight fantasy points, eight fantasy points. Like, and then, and then this is a bad matchup against Detroit. He's not like a, you have to start Javante. I think he is a, let's look. Like I would start Naji over Javante without question. Moss. Moss as well. Warren. No, I would go Javentay over. Zeke. Zeke, that's what I was going to ask. That's Yeah, I would still go Z. He was like 90% of their offense. Jamir Gibbs on the other side. Guess what, folks? I just found this out. Since week seven, he's the running back three in fantasy football. He's been a revelation. Thank you, Jemir. I felt so dumb. The week seven through 11 really patted that up. Good. What's really helpful for him lately is even in surprising fashion,
like twice against Chicago, they have found themselves down, big. And so when they're down, it's not the David Montgomery show. It's the Jamir Gibbs show. It's the we've got to throw. We've got to get the explosive, you know, playmaker in the two-minute drill. And so this is. Yeah, he's had red zone attempts too. Yeah. And so it's really a matter of how do you see the game going in order to dictate whether it's more David Montgomery or whether it's more Jamir Gibbs? You know, if the Lions. end up dominating this game and win the game, you know, 30 to 12, I think that's a David Montgomery game. So, Andy, you're the best at picking how games go. Picking the script, the game script of the Lions right now is a fool's errand. Yeah. Well, I'll say this. I think, you know, they're favored. They're at home. They're in a dome. I'm, I don't want to mess around with Jared golf right now against this Broncos defense. But everybody else that you've been starting, you start.
You know, Gibbs, Montgomery, Amon Ra and Laporta. I was going to ask you how you felt about Montgomery at this point in the year. I think both of those guys are just automatic plays right now. Yeah, Leporta is absolutely in. And advanced Joseph defenses are terrible against tight-in, even when they're good in general. The Denver Broncos, I just can't believe the turnaround. They are a good team. And I think I think they win the division. I think they take it over the Chiefs. What? If they can win this game. If they can win this game. Lay it out. Which I think is fair, right? Oh, man. Do you think they could win this game? Yes. Okay. Let's just give them the dog. I pretty much say could on any game on the NFL. The next week is the New England Patriots. Okay, hold on. Let's say they win this game. That's eight and six. Then they're nine and six. Okay. The next game after that is the Los Angeles Chargers.
Okay, they're 10 and 6th. The next game after that is the Las Vegas Raiders. 11 and 6. That's what I mean. Like they could win out. So 11 and 6th. Where are the Chiefs right now? The Chiefs I know are one game ahead of the Broncos in record. One? I believe that is. The Chiefs are 8 and 5. Oh my gosh. Eight and five. Who's got the tiebreaker? Because they don't play each other again. So we know the head to head. Let's see. Looking at it, Denver 1 in weeks. I'm sorry, Kansas City beat Denver. They split it, right? Yes, they split. So then we need what? Strength of schedule? No, division record. Oh, division record. Yeah. To be fair, I'm looking at the chief schedule. Yeah. The Patriots. Okay, nine and five. The Rangers. Okay, so they're 12 and five. Okay. It looks like easy sledding for these two teams. Okay. What you should have done is just said they're going to make the playoffs because that would have been a home run. Yeah. The Broncos.
even with the resurgence, still a negative point differential. Well, when you give up 17 to the Dolman. I know. It's still very funny. All right. Seven and six and you have a negative scoring differential. It's not great. The Chicago Bears Sunday night, or sorry, Sunday games, we're moving on. Five and eight bears against the eight and five Browns. The draft King Sportsbook line, Cleveland minus three of the overrunners, 38 and a half. Joe Flacco has been named a starter for the rest of the year. What an opportunity for him. Cleveland is the fifth seed right now. Chicago's won three of four. Wait. Wait. Is this true? How are they one game behind the Packers for the Wild Card? That's how records work. Yeah, but they're five and eight. Let's see. So the Packers are six and seven. And they're in the wild card? That I don't have in front of me. Well, I mean, they...
I'll pull that up. There's six and seven. Everybody's still in it. Yeah. I mean, the bucks are leading the division at. I believe. The players could make the playoffs. The Packers are holding onto the seventh spot at six and seven. I believe I heard, I know I heard this. I believe it is true that 22 teams in the NFL right now are either in the playoffs or one game out of the playoffs. Yeah, that's that one extra spot changed things a lot. The seventh seed. What? Yeah. That's insane. Okay. I should never have questioned a Kyle stat. or a bet stat, but that just blew my mind because Chicago's 5 and 8. The Browns with Flacko have the number one pass rate in the NFL. I mean, he went right from doing it for the Jets and now it's all happening on the Browns. Do they call running plays and he just doesn't do them? Maybe. Like, I can't imagine every team. Is he so charming that he just arrives and everybody's like, oh, just throw it? I don't know that is charming or he just, when they call in the run, he looks over and he says, what are you going to do about it?
I'm out here. I'm old. You're over there. And I'm throwing the ball. Guess what we're going to do? We're going to throw. He checks out of every run. What did you see there, Joe? Yeah, it wasn't good for the run. Like, Joe, there was five guys on, five guys in the box. Not looking good. Not for me. So, look, Joe Flacco is a- Joe, you threw into triple coverage. I made the best read. He is a streaming option. He really is. Okay. It's not a good one. It's a scary one. What? But it could be good. If you had a really good friend. Uh-huh. Let's call him. Schmike. Who had to play either Jared Gough. Oh, man. Joe Flacco or Jake Browning in a what you would call a must-win game. Okay. I know my answer. This is the worst question that has ever been brought up on the show. You're telling me. I have my answer. I have my answer. Hold on. Write it down here. Because what do we get? So.
The Bears right now on the season. I know what I would do in your shoes. The Bears are in Schmike's shoes. The bear, yeah, these are not my shoes, which are stunning sneakers. The Bears, fifth against quarterbacks. We just went over the Vikings who are, what, fourth against quarterbacks or the Broncos who are third. All right. So this is great news. So the three options are awesome, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, who do we got? Who do we got? Goff, gop. Okay, that's where I'm leaning as... We both wrote golf. You have three bad matchups, and you've got one really good offense. Yeah, exactly. That's where I've been leaning of God. It will be a mistake, but that is what we do. He's at least, he's at home, he's in a dome, and... Home in a dome. And over the last couple weeks, last week aside...
Jared Goff has looked terrible and yet still managed to come through right around that 20 points. And if you think about the process, you go through the process of looking at, you know, not results but process of these three guys. And there isn't a clear process winner. So at that point, you go, well, so now what could I live with? If Joe Flacco has the best game and you start Goff, it's like, okay, whatever, how could I know? But if Goff had the best game and you start a Flacko or a Browning and a tough matchup, you're going to go,
What an idiot. I'm considering just benching all of them. Sure. Avoid negative points. It's a 10-point difference in the over-under of those two games. That's what I'd be looking at too. In this Cleveland game, like I said, Joe Flacko might be a streaming option. He has Omari Cooper and David Njoku who dominated last week, but he also makes mistakes. They also have a defense that is... You know, I know that they've been a little bit shaky. They weren't shaky last week. They put up good fantasy points against Jacksonville at home. It's an advantage that they're at home. It's an advantage that, you know, they make a Denzel Ward back and Miles Garrett's getting healthier. So to me, there's a storyline here where it's about, it's like 24 to 10. Right. And in that world, Joe Flago doesn't have to throw as much, but, you know, Amari Cooper, season high in targets. I think you play him. David Nogoku, you got to play him.
So. Yeah, I'm looking at the running backs. Yeah, that's where I was going to go. You got two injured guys. Jerome Ford was limited with a wrist. And I think the report was, in fact, very glad. Jerome Ford did not break his wrist. That, that seemed, I mean, that's great, but that seems like we almost, we were very close to a really bad injury. Cream Hunt didn't practice. I feel like he's not. He's not been good either. He's good when you give him a ball. He scored a touchdown. He's good around the end zone. Yeah. But he didn't practice on Wednesday. He's Lindale White now. Yeah. Okay. That's fine. He has the lowest elusive rating among every running back in football. With 50 plus carries. That's. Unless you're around the five. Yeah. He gets a dog. He does get it done around the five. Justin Fields. We talked about him yesterday. Jason's hungry for more candidate. I still think the matchup is brutal.
I mean, I think your floor for fields is low, low, low this week. I completely agree. Not that he can't get it done. Your floor is 10 fantasy points because if he gets a couple of turnovers, he'll rush the ball. Like he's going to have 50 plus rushing yards. So the baseline will be there. It's really a matter of can he protect it from turning the ball over. I think he'll have a couple of touchdowns. And, you know, I'm hopeful. It's crazy because Detroit was the two matchups he dominated. Yeah. You brought that up. But in between was a good defense on the road, and he was 24th at the position. I mean, you know, it's tough. Obviously, he was great against Denver, but that was when Denver's defense was still very suspect earlier in the year. And, you know, TBD, but last year he went on a heater down the stretch. I mean, he won people fantasy championships in big ways, and that was against some good defenses as well.
I'm very, this is a telling game and it's a dicey start, but I think that there are a lot of fantasy assets that I would still start him over this week. DJ Moore, of course, you play him. The running backs, make it brief. Deonta Foreman. Okay. If you need to play one, it's Deont de Forman. The matchup is right around the middle, so it could be better, could be worse. But. Form one went right back to being the primary guy. Okay. Tampa Bay at 6 and 7 taking on the 6 and 7 Packers. Apparently that is the record of playoff teams. Draft King Sportiswick line Green Bay minus three and a half at home at Lambo. Over under is 42. Slightly different than the Brady Rogers matchup of days of old. We've got the Baker Love matchup. Both teams fighting to stay alive. You love that for motivation?
You know, Mike Evans, last week you play him. I mean, last week was not good, but you play him. You barely missed a touchdown. He's been great all year. And Tampa's, you know, this matchup really is one that I want a piece of. I think that this game hits the over. It's only at 42. Yeah, I'm with you. Well, I was looking at some of the overrunners yesterday trying to find one that jumped out, and I did bet this one as an over. Yeah. Jordan Love. I like Jordan Love. We'll talk about him in a little bit. He's been much better at home than on the road, and Tampa is a pure, pure pass funnel defense. You cannot, can't run on them, and you sure can throw on them. I believe Desmond Ritter has proven that. If we have more consolidation at the wide receiver position for Green Bay, Dantavian Wicks didn't practice with the ankle, he may miss. Christian Watson didn't practice with the hamstring, he may miss.
If we continue to narrow this down, Dobbs and Reed, are they both locks? I think they're both players you want to start this week. I would personally start them in the order of Reed, then Dobbs, but both are in most lineups where I've got either. Beyond that, you have just kind of dart throws. I mean, we talked about Malik Heath. He scored last week, but he only had two catches or two targets. You also have, I can't pronounce his name, but Toray. who had four targets, doubled the targets of Heath. Both players would get opportunities in this one. Aaron Jones, limited. Mike, did you want to say something about the whiteouts? No, it would not have the whiteout, but a pass catcher of Tucker Kraft against this buck's defense. I think I would start, like if it's not Dobbs or Reed, I might go to Tucker Kraft. He had the second most routes run on the team the last two weeks. They took what they were doing.
You know, with the other rookie. And then just like, hey, you rookie. Now you're our guy. So I think that in this world of the tight end position is very difficult this weekend in particular if you don't just have one of the locked in starters. And Tucker Kraft feels like a pretty good punt play. Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon. And should I say Patrick Taylor? Because is there a chance that both those guys don't play? Yeah, I'm not going to start either one. Aaron Jones obviously is coming back off of an injury that he's been struggling with. That's if he plays. A.J. Dillon is A.J. Dillon. One of his weaknesses. Just sucks. And he couldn't match up worse against the type of defense that the bucks are. Although I will say, I need to look, is Vita Vaya? He was a little banged up and injured. So.
That makes a huge difference. I mean, he is a big reason why you can't run on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So I'll try to look that up. No, he's not at practice. Neither is Chris Godwin. Toe injury did not practice Wednesday, yeah, for Vita Bay. So monitor that it does open things up. I still would prefer to not play a Green Bay running back, but obviously that matters. I think on the other side, it's Rashad White and Mike Evans and you end the story. Yeah. I don't think you talk about the bucks anymore. I love a short, sweet story. Houston 7 and 6. Tennessee's 5 and 8. Levis v. Mills, maybe. The neck is back. That would be Davis Mills neck. Yes, Davis Mills. One of the longest necks. It's a specimen. It's long, but it's not skinny. No. It's a, it's a large tree trunk. It is. What?
Yeah, bail out. And who's a glennon? Glennon's another one. Yeah, his is frail and giraffe like though. Yeah. This one, what is it to you, Jay? This one is kind of like a thicker. It's girthy, you know? Yeah, there it is. His neck. His neck. It's not skinny. No. So C.J. Stroud, we're not expecting. Hard to find a shirt. Hard to get the head through. Gonna need the buttons on that one. More of a tank top guy. Where are we with C.J. Stroud? Didn't practice on Wednesday. I'm not expecting him to play. We've been getting them back quick. We have. I mean, the good news for C.J. Stroud, if you have them on your fantasy team, is it's not a question. If he plays, Stroud's in. I would have no concerns putting him back out. But we need more information to see if he's actually going to play. Will Lavis?
Some people wondering if this is a guy you need to start looking at in the streaming category. I mean, we've had a lot of unexpected streaming success from players like Sam Howell, Will Levis last week. He's not afraid to chuck the ball down field. DeAndre Hopkins was dominant. The matchup against the Texans. This is a great one. Is there a world where Levis should be above Flacco in your, in taking a chance? Yes. But to me, the world is based upon. CJ Stroud. I believe the reason they are such a good matchup for quarterbacks is because Stroud has got this offense humming. They're going to stay in the games. They're going to take leads. They're going to come back. You've got a pass to catch up. If Davis Mills is the quarterback, which as of right now, that is my expectation. You know, we saw Derek Carr come back from concussion, but he was early in the week progressing and at practice. And, you know, right now C.J. Stroud has been missing practice. So if Stroud misses, I'm not as interested.
in Levis, and it changes the dichotomy of how this game script goes. Derek Henry against Davis Mills is going to be a much better play than Derek Henry against C.J. Stroud and vice versa for Tajay Spears. Yeah, and on the other side, you have so many questions because of Mills. Like confidence level, like Nico Collins says he hopes to play this week, according to their beat writer Aaron Wilson. So if he plays. He's been good, but he doesn't have Stroud. There is a world where it's Stroud and Nico this week. You could snap your fingers, and that could both of those situations could happen. Yeah, and I guess you put Nico out there, but that is.
going to man sketch town it's sketch town if nico has if nico's active i would have a really really hard time benching him if i have a different option if he's active i'm going to have a really hard time starting him i'm just saying like obviously yes is there a middle between start and sit that he could live in like a unfortunately purgatorious starts it's pretty binary if you have um a uh a same tier player as nico collins i would choose that other player in the for reaggravation of a reagravated calf injury for reaggravation of a reaggravation yeah he's already he's already it sounds like sketched down to me yeah it's like an angry rhino that calf i would just um i'd love to have somebody else to play that is for sure devon singletary has been getting all of the opportunity he got a the big one last week and i watched this very closely because it's torture for my team they gave him the goal line
Like Devin Singletary just got like a normal goal line carry last week and he scored, which Damien Pierce has scored on the goal line, but it's about a one for 20 is how it feels this year. Is Devin Singletary off your board of his Davis Mills? Because this is a vulnerable Titans defense, especially over the last six weeks against the run. They've had some bad performances. I'd say not completely off. Like Pierce is gone, right? Off the, off of potential plays. I'm just saying that Pierce is not an option for anybody, but Devon Singletary maybe? It's so difficult because you have the week that Pierce is back, or I don't remember if it's the week or the second week, but two weeks ago, Singletary nine opportunities, running back 33, then back up to 16 opportunities. So it's. I mean, he's running so much better than Pierce. Yeah, Singletary looks good as a player. Okay, Singletary or AJ Dylan.
