Week 8 Studs & Stinkers + The Pick-6 Plan, It’s Christmas Time - Fantasy Football Podcast for 11/2

Yeah, I don't think they'd do it. If I could do it, I would do it in a heartbeat. Because I know when Miles is out there, he's a game changer for my fantasy team. Real quick, I'm going to blitz these down running backs this week. You tell me if the panic alarm is worthwhile. Melvin Gordon, with how well Philip Lindsay is playing yet again. Yeah, I don't believe it's good, it's going to be good rest of way for Melvin Gordon. Lindsay's great.

Kareem Hunt. Are you worried about Kreme Hunt? The buy week, Nick Chub coming back possibly, and Hunt has been worse with no Chub. Well, then it should be good news that Chub is coming back. Yeah, I'm not worried about Cream Hunt. I would love to trade for Cream Hunt. The big role for DeAndre Swift has turned into six carries for one yard, three targets for 22 yards, and then Carryon Johnson had 18% of snaps. At the end of the day, this is the lion's backfield stay away. Josh Kelly. Good night, sleep tight. Farewell. Yep.

Lev Bell. I'll see to say goodbye. So when you were saying, like, would you trade Clyde for Chase Edmonds get a couple big weeks? Lev Bell was six for seven on the ground. He did have a, he was three for 31 through the air, had a fumble. But I'm just in the ramble possibilities because you're still trying to allow for things to take shape. Carolina, let's say Clyde has a great game. Levian Bell shows that he's still as, eh, yeah.

They headed the by week. People were terrified of LaShawn McCoy last year. He came, and Shady got a lot of work right at the beginning of the year. And then the team figured out, no, we're much better if we don't give the ball to LaShawn McCoy. We, in fact, make him inactive. Just because they sign Levy on Bell does not guarantee that Levy on Bell has the juice that they want. We still haven't seen that play out. I think you're going to want to pay attention next week and just see how he performs against Carolina with the snap.

Percentage will be. I love this note. It could be great. I'm just saying that you've got to be prepared that other things that you're not planning for could happen. Breaking news. All right. This comes in from our injury expert, Matthew Betts. Cooper Cup is the name to watch today. Fell on his wrist yesterday. He did. And there is concern for a potential fracture. So there is going to be an MRI in the next day or two. Uh-oh. So, uh-oh. Pay attention.

All right. Do you try to trade for Robert Woods? It's hard to. I mean, it's more like a waiver alert for Reynolds or Jefferson. Sure. Yeah. All right. Amari Cooper, one for five. Adam Thielen, three for 27. The weather was real bad in Green Bay. I'm not worried about Thielen or Jefferson. I moved them both down in the rankings that morning due to the weather.

You guys agree with that? 100%. And also Dalvin Cook said, you don't get to throw the ball. Yeah. Yeah, Tyler Lockett, 4 for 33. It's just the way it goes. Yep. What are you doing with Amari Cooper, though? You glossed over it, but, I mean, obviously it's not going to be Ben Inucci forever. He'll get Dalton back. Cooper is just the one I want to have, but maybe not this week. And then not in the buy, so maybe try to get rid of him. Yeah. I mean, you've got two weeks where you can't play Amari Cooper in my estimation.

So if I could trade him, I would. Deontay Johnson exited with a hamstring injury, came back in the game. He was only one for six in this one. Dallas next week, you probably just. Deontay, we have supported you over and over and over and over. My man, I think you're great. I think you are a tremendous wide receiver. Change, I don't know, change your diet. Something's got to be fixed here. We got to keep you on the field. Yeah, it's going to be hard to sit him against Dallas next week.

I think if he's on the field, you're probably just playing him. And then you're just, you're saying some prayers for his hamstrings and his groin and his calf and his. We'll see you here for this discussion next week. All right. Nelson Aguilar, this game turned sour with the weather as well. This is breaking news. Jason Moore, wide receiver for the Chargers, had no targets. Oh, man, next week.

Next week. I'll get that TV. Jarvis Landry had 11 targets, just four catches in this game. A couple drops again. He's been dealing with the dropskies. Well, he's got a broken rib. But that was a bad weather game, too. I was going to say, I remember some of those targets that were just horrible, and you could see the ball moving in the air. I'm not worried about that. The 11 targets is the focus here. He is going to be very good. Yeah, I think Higgins was goose in that game after 11 targets the week before.

Tight-in stinkers. Are you worried? Mark Andrews. He is very boomer bust yet again. It's Lamar Jackson, man. Lamar Jackson stinks. He's not playing well. I mean, he's fine for fantasy because when you run, you get more fantasy points. But when you watch him throw the ball, he stinks. Are you worried about Hollywood? I'm worried about Mark Andrews. If you're a pass catcher.

There's not, I mean, it's the exact opposite. You get this little itty piti pie. Yeah. You get this little tiny single serving, you know, you get a delicious hostess apple pie. I love them. But I'm not sharing them with 12 of my closest friends. That's one bite. No, you're not. That's what I feel like is happening right now. He's not sharing it with one of his closest friends. Oh, I need a full Mark Andrews. You know, I get that whole thing. You need all the targets to go to one person. Yes. Darren, uh, weather game. Don't worry about it. Johnny Smith, though.

This is, I mean, he's not been good for a while. No, the emergence of Corey Davis, there's, it's very disappointing of what we saw at the beginning of the season from Johnny, but now it's fading away. It's a target, two, four, too. Yeah. And that was after 7587. So, yeah, the targets say you got to look elsewhere. Dallas got it, one target. It was insane, man. He was on the field. Over 80% of the snaps. One target. What are you doing, Wens? 100% catch rate.

16 yards. Took it to 100. Nice. The Drew sample size? Yes. That's good. Well, it wasn't like Richard Rogers was bringing him in because he had zero targets. Richard Rogers, farewell? Yeah, well, as soon as Goddard was activated, it was you had to abandon. Yep. Yeah. And also you had to abandon Goddard. That's what you didn't know, apparently. Yeah. Other important...

tight-in situations. I mean, Higby came back, four targets, two for 14, Everett, five for 32. You're in that boat every week with the Rams. It could be a situation with the injury to cup. That's what I'm going to say. But then you've got to pick, you still got to pick one. You still got to pick between Everett and Higby. Nobody wants to do that. You want to know who your guy is. Yeah. Who is it, Mike? Who's the guy? Gerald. Yeah. Gerald. It's Gerald. That's his name. I know. I know.

I know it's his name. That's a funny name. We get it. Gerald. We get it. Gerald. Why are we doing that to him? I don't know. There's no reason. Tyler. G. Everett. Well, now you're taking his name away from him? That's not nice. Gerald. I still deserves a name, even if it's Gerald. Jerry. Larry. Larry. Larry. Larry.

Larry? It's a Parks and Rec. Oh, okay, okay. Stinkers of the Week presented by odor eaters, odor eaters, the best in foot odor defense. We want to thank Pristine Auction for supporting the show.
