Starts of the Week + Week 13 Breakdown, Reindeer Month - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/1

Lions home games, 62 total points per game, highest in the NFL. Oh, yes. Alman Ra getting it done last week. Let's go. Let's go. So why don't I take the other side of the field for my start of the week, Trevor Lawrence? He has seven quarterback one performances on the year. That is more than Herbert or Cousins or Gino Smith. He is our top streaming quarterback of this week. He's in a plus matchup. Detroit is dead last and scheduled adjusted fantasy points allowed. And we mentioned this on Tuesday. 38% of opposing passing attempts versus the Lions result in a first down or a touchdown. That's second highest in the NFL. And then my running back is in the same game. I am going out on a limb here. I am trying to get fantasy players to believe. DeAndre Swift is my start of the week against Jacksonville. Okay.

I think he's in that perfect spot where this needs to be said because you're making decisions on DeAndre Swift this week. The snap counts are rising, the opportunities, eight targets. You did not see Jamal Williams with a target last week. I think the PPR leagues need to find a way to get Swift in there with that 62 total average in Detroit for games in Detroit. I think there's an opportunity here. And you've seen. Other pass-catching options be a focus against Jacksonville, eight targets for Derek McKinnon, 10 for Deion Jackson, eight for Austin Echler. I'm going to do it. I'm going to go out on the limb. I think he's getting healthier. My eyes tell me he looks a little bit more spry, Mr. Moore. Yeah, I agree. I think you can start DeAndor. Now, would you start him over Jamal Williams, or if you had those two and you could only fit one in your lineup, who are you starting? I can't do it over Jamal. No, Jamal's.

been too involved than is the first up at the goal line. So I would agree with you there. But I also agree you can start SWIFT this week. My running back start of the week is David Montgomery. We talked about it earlier this episode with Khalil Herbert on IR. His opportunity has been wide open, handling 80% of the snaps and an elite 35% workload. That's the rate of the total team rushing attempts plus targets. Anything above 30. is an RB one level. He's getting the work. Oh, and he plays the Packers, who just surrendered 364 rushing yards on Sunday night. Since week four, Green Bay is 27th against fantasy running back. So David Montgomery should have a good game either way. I do think he has a better game without Justin Fields, though. Keenan is my wide receiver start of the week in another game that I'm super excited about the fantasy output of Chargers, Raiders. 49 routes run second most in the NFL last week.

Just five for 49 and a touchdown on seven targets, but one of them was around the goal line. The involvement is going to increase with his health. And I love that. 49 routes out there, safe floor, averaging nine targets and six receptions against the Raiders. Raiders are 24th against fantasy wide receivers. Game total is 50 points. This is going to be a big week for Keenan Allen. Yeah, yeah, I would agree completely. If you're in any kind of PPR league, he has to be. started. My wide receiver started the week. I'm going to stay with my start of the week from last week. Garrett Wilson.

Going to Minnesota. He was my start last week, two touchdowns, finished as the wide receiver two. We profiled him earlier in the never not working. Let's just stay in the flames. In Mike White's first start, Wilson saw a 28 and a half percent target share. He is emerging as an alpha. The matchup is wonderful. Minnesota is allowing the most passing yards per game and the second highest rate of 15 plus passing yard plays. If baby boy Wilson is on the sideline, Alpha Wilson is in my lineup. And I'm going to try to do you a favor in the dark, dark world of bad, bad tight ends. Haydenhurst has been very involved in using my start of the week at tight end. I'm going to take my shot on Haydenhurst in this matchup with Kansas City that looks to be a shootout. And, you know, Haydenhurst is reliable enough. I mean, he's kind of like a Dalton Schultz light right now in Cincinnati.

Kansas City started the year out as the defense you wanted to target for tight ends. So we'll see if he can get it done. Last week, very involved. Haydenhurst, I think, is somebody you can get in there. And I'm going to call him a shot on George Kittle. I think he has another up week this week against Miami. I've shared my concerns with him rest of season, but Debo's banged up. CMC is banged up. And this is one of those games Kyle Shanhan draws up a game plan around George Kittle. He's running around 75% of San Francisco's dropbacks, which is an elite top five number. He's been...

ping-ponging back and forth between good games and bad games. But since week seven, the Dolphins, they're 31st and schedule adjusted fantasy points allowed to tight in slightly behind the Cardinals. And you can't play against the Cardinals this week because they're on by. I think George Kettle has a really good output this week and is a top three tight end. All right. Let's move on. Jason Moore's Ironclad. Locked and loaded. 100% guaranteed boom, boom kicker of the week. Last week on Boom Boom Kicker, Robbie Gould summoned the Megalodon and ate a bunch of people and pooped them out. I sunk in utter panic, like the Titanic in the Atlantic, worried about my boom, boom, bloodline. Stunned. I was simply blooderbonged as I floated next to my buddy, Greg Zirline. Ducers. Yeah, I don't know that word. I've got a lot of questions.

And they all start with blutterbonged. Blutterbonged, dumbfounded, confounded, and open-mouthed and amazement is the definition of blutterbund. You know, if there's one thing about you, Jason, among the many, you always find you need deep in, like, you know, dictionary. Oh, yeah. I mean, it's just some casual reading for this guy. All right. Well, the story continues to unfold. Well, done. Thank you. We've got more matchups on tomorrow's episode of the podcast. We're going to help you out. Week 13. We were on Spotify live yesterday. Had a lot of questions from the Foot Clan. And a lot of questions began with the sentence, I need to win this week to make the playoffs. So I know a lot's on the line.
