But I think a big game against Oakland is on the way for Hunter Henry. He's had two finishes outside the top 40. So that's the tough sledding I'm talking about. With the last game against Oakland, he was a top 10 tight in. I was back in week 10. And I just think it's going to be a very good situation for Henry at home against Oakland who just gives up a lot of points. Yeah, and my start of the week is Jacob Hollister. You might not realize it, but since he took over the starting role, he's averaging, and this is in all matchups, 6.2 targets a game.

70:23 ↗

At tight end, that's a pretty good number. Now you take those 6.2 targets. You say you get to do that against Arizona. Yeah, that's when the font size increases. The font size increases and more importantly, the touchdowns increase. Last time that Russell Wilson played the Arizona Cardinals, it was just Will Disley open by scheme over and over and over. And now Jacob Hollister gets to play that role. He's my start of the week.

70:50 ↗

Mike's start of the week at tight-in is O.J. Howard, we talked about him today. He's averaging four for 60 over the last three weeks. That is a good baseline to then have the upside with no Evans or Godwin for Howard to stay busy, hopefully get in the end zone. And over the last five weeks, the Texans are giving up the second most points per game to the tight end posish. All right. Are you ready for...

71:19 ↗

Oh, this is a hard one. Most important segment of the year. Super difficult one. Jason Moore's Ironclad. Locked and loaded. 100% guaranteed boom, boom kicker of the week. It's championship week. So don't be a sucker. Okay. You know the best kicker. It's the Ravens Justin Tucker. Okay. Easy peasy. Easy peasy. Um.

71:56 ↗

You heard it here first, guys. Pick up Justin Tucker off of your waiver wire. And look, the boom boom. And finally put them into your lineup for the first time this week. It's very rarely a waiver wire pickup. It's just someone that, you know, it's like, I'm not sure. It's someone that rhymes. That's all it is. That's all it is. And this week, you don't want to be a sucker. All right. We'll hit the rest of the matchups on tomorrow's show. We'll have ballers on a budget. And, um,

72:21 ↗

Don't forget Sunday live, one hour before Sunday kickoff on all the social media channels. I think it could be Mike this week. It could be you, Jason. You could, the mystery. That's part of the fun. That is part of the reveal. Tune in. And then the game day alerts over at join the foot.com are fantasy football community.

Are you a serious Christmas, truther, Brooks? Are you all about it? Yeah. Do you do the Christmas movie? Like, how many Christmas movies do you go through in the month of December? Is that part of the routine? Yeah, I usually try and...

73:14 ↗

Get all the classics in. What's the most recent one you've watched? Most recent was Jim, Jim Carrey Grinch. Very nice. I've never seen that. That's just stupid, man. I've, grow up. I have never seen that. I love the cartoon also, the classic. Yeah, I thought about buying that. You know what I didn't love? The new one. The new, like, 3D animated. Didn't they just delete that from existence? Yeah, with what's his face? With Dr. Strange. Cumberbatch? Yeah. No good?

73:43 ↗

Do you watch the Christmas movies? Yeah, of course. There's never been a December since Elf came out that we haven't watched Elf. And then there's usually another, every year they make some, you know, Christmas movie that's new, you know, Noel on Netflix this year. We watched it because you got to do it. Yeah. All right. So you're pretty, you're pretty into the Christmas traditions, right? Yeah. We got to find some new ones. It's our, it's our time as a family to like,

74:10 ↗

lead the Christmas traditions of our extended family. And we need something special. Yeah, you've got nothing right now. Nothing. I just want something new. I was just, I'm petitioning for ideas. Yeah, Bookland. Maybe people have like very special traditions that they started up and they're like, this is legit. I could sell this. Oh, then give it to us. We'll sell it. All right. We want to thank our studio sponsor, Pristine auction, a Cortland Sutton signed mini helmet, $46.

As a fan chosen for the halftime challenge, I love sports. For a chance to win the big prize. But when my half-court heaved only goes half the distance. How embarrassing for him! I wonder, is sport clips better than sports?
