Week 12 Buy or Sell + Triple Mailbag, Sneaky Tank

I mean, you say, if Cooper's out, is that actually good? Is that actually good for Gallup? You know, the New England Patriots are famous for taking away the number one option. That would leave Gallup as that number one option. You know, it's almost like, who has a better game here, Michael Gallup or Randall Cobb? I'm tempted to say Cobb just because he's the third option on the team, and they'll be like, let's make Cobb beat us. All right, well, it's a tough situation deciding.

what upside you really have with those players. And that's what it comes down to. I'm not worried about him having a target show. I'm worried about him having production. And the 55 receiving yards doesn't get me excited. All right, that was buy herself from pristine auction. You can buy or sell? Can you sell? Yes. You can sell, right? You can. Yeah. They do both. But we normally tell you, go buy some autograph sports memorabilia. But if you have some,

Laying around. I'm guessing you could sell it too. You sure can. All right, pristine auction.com, use the code ballers. Let's talk news. News and notes from around the league presented by sleeper. All right, Tyree Kill, big news. Tyree Kill's hamstring injury deemed minor after an MRI. He's got the bye week. Jason. I mean, that's great news. It just seems like he could have got back out there for one pass. I'll tell you what. I'll give you one point.

for that news. I will take it because Thursday point, you know, stat corrections. Stat corrections. You'd hold out some hope. Could give me a win. And then David and Joku has been designated to return from IR. He's practicing today's eligible to play this week. I am wearing no pants. This is great news. Are your pants designated to return? My pants are now not designated to return. They are on IR.

Look, I'm picking up David and Doku. I am. I'm not playing him this week. Okay, I want... I put my pants on I are. They're gone. Not eligible to return this season. I say not designated to return. Which really, based on our proximity, we are the ones that will feel the most... Now, I have... Very happy for the stable. I have proven. I don't believe the Foot Clan knows this.

You're going to share this? I'm going to share this because I said, you know, look, I sit back behind the table. It was a bet. It was a bet. I could be wearing no pants and you'd never know. And, and Mike, you're like, there's no way I couldn't know. We did a serious XM live show. And I got those pants down. And after the show, I was like, we were none the wiser. I did a whole hour. No pants. And that's the same as right now, David and Joku off of our. So again, I am picking him up. I am not starting him this week.

I, you know, I'm, he's been gone too long, doing with too much of an injury. He's not in football shape. I'm going to say something. They play Arizona and they play them in week 15 of the playoffs. Exactly. And even if Injoku has one bright light left on this season. That's a pretty bright light. That week, Jason will be right. Yeah, look, he's played basically one week this year and he was the titan seven. And then he gets injured in week two and has been gone. I like that sample. But yes, thank you. But look.

Here's the schedule. Miami. Okay, that's a great way to kick it off. Pittsburgh, not so great. Cincinnati great. Arizona great. I mean, those are playoff weeks. Yeah. Again, I'm going to wait until he shows that he is involved. Will you put your pants back on? I'll consider it. Will you consider that? Maybe some shorts. Okay. All right. News and notes is always brought to you by the Sleeper app. You don't want to miss a single piece of impactful news.

Because you may or may not need to take your pants off. It's a... If the new... Jason's pants. How long did it take you? I'll ask this before we move on. How long did it take you to take them off? Was this a quick thing and we didn't hear it? It was very slow. It was a five-minute process. And I have to imagine you're just inching them down. Oh, no, it's not a good. Come on. It was just like, you know, I might scoot to the side. People might be eating. You know, a little lunch break. Yeah. Oh.

He asked the question I answered. Yeah. So, all right. Well, we've got some mailbag. We've got the Thursday night preview coming. Before we move on, I want to thank today's sponsor, Manscaped Fellas.

And we have cooked at your house recently and ate delicious steaks. I think I got it before the cutler reset, though. Yeah. So I might have to double down. I also am disappointed. You didn't sing that to like the 12 days of Christmas. Next time. Holiday season. That is not the 12 days of Christmas. No, I figured that's the only song he goes to. When you're doing the countdown, you're like, the Omaha Steaks and the cutler reset.

All right. We're going to do Thursday night preview first, then get into the mailbag. Thursday night breakdown. All right. Here's your weekly reminder. Take your Thursday night players out of the flex position. Put them into a running back wide receiver spot so that you have flexibility later in the week because who knows when Robert Woods will decide to skip a game. He's going to say, look, it came through this week. If you played your lineup optimally and you put.

the latest guys into the flex position, and Sunday night showed up and you had Robert Woods there, you can at least pivot to multiple positions and not just be stuck. Yeah, a lot of people that I saw pivoted by necessity to LaShawn McCoy. Right. Because, you know, he was a guy that wasn't being used, wasn't in lineups, and then he went out, had himself a decent game.

All right, let's look at this one. Colts, Texans, both teams six and four, divisional matchup, Thursday night game. Houston, three and a half point favorites, 45 and a half point over under. You look at Deshawn Watson in this matchup. He's coming off the worst game of the season. Every time he's done that, he's had a very big game following. However, this is a divisional matchup. And the last time he played the Colts, he was around the 20 fantasy point mark. So while I like Watson and while you'd never bench him,

I don't expect him to go off against the Indianapolis Colts. They're a pretty strong defense, 13th against fantasy quarterbacks, sixth against running backs. It's going to all fall into Sean Watson's shoulders in this game. I don't expect Carlos Hyde and Duke Johnson to be able to move the offense down the field against this Colts defense. So where are your expectations with the quarterback play in this game?

Yeah, I think both are good options. Obviously, you're going to start Nashan Watson. As far as what my expectation is, I do think he has a very big game. You've just seen him when he comes off of a bad game. He works extra hard. I mean, genuinely, like, I remember his last really bad game, he stayed at the stadium for hours, basically shut the stadium down because he was so upset with himself. This is who he is. So I think he comes back and has a good game, and Berset has shown himself to be every bit.

good enough to compete in the NFL. And for fantasy purposes, look, he just gets touchdowns. I mean, he's not a huge yardage guy, but he's been very efficient. He can rush touchdowns as well. So, you know, Brissette is good. Like hurry them along? Like really rush them. Hurry up. Get the touchdown already. It was the cue before the last time he played Houston. Yeah, 326 and 4. That was at home, though. It would be nice. It must be nice to have T. Y. Hilton in this game.

It would be nice. But the nice thing with some questionable situations is that you do get the advantage of Thursday night, right? Will Fuller, game time decision. T.Y. Hilton didn't practice Tuesday. Doesn't need to practice to play. Going to be a game time decision. Would you put him right into your lineup and maybe I'll find some options for you to compare it to? Yeah, I think this is a. I lean that I would.

What about him versus Devante Parker, who's been on a run, but Hilton is obviously an upper echelon guy when he's healthy. What does Parker play again? Parker takes on, yeah, Cleveland Browns in Cleveland. I would be playing Parker there. Yeah, I believe I'd go Parker. Okay, what about moving into a, Robert Woods. Would you play T.Y. Hilton? I would play T.Y. Hilton, Robert Woods and his personal issue. Okay, Mohammed Sunu then, against Dallas. That's a good one.

Mohammed Sanoo, or would you just go Hilton? I think I'd go Hilton. That's where Eileen is well. D.K. Metcalf. Would you go Metcalf? I would go. I would go Hilton. This is a good example of saying, okay, when a star is coming back off an injury, sometimes you have to play him. When a good quality option is coming off of an injury, you don't, and that would be Will Fuller. I can't imagine. That's not to say he can't. He can't go out there catch a deep-bomb touchdown, but he hasn't done it much this year. He's coming off of an injury that he...

pretty much always re-aggravates and re-injures his injuries. There's no way I would touch Will Fuller in this game. I agree with you on that. Here's a fun fact. The Colts are actually 6-0-1 against the spread versus Houston in their last seven games. This is for the AFC South Division. I would take the Colts and the points in this one myself. Well, so then where's my drop? Well, I thought about it, but people are so used to hearing it on Thursday, Friday. I didn't know if it was like, you know. You can have more of the one? All right.

Yes, it's on you. Oh. Yeah. I don't, I don't have the drop. Oh, okay. All right. I don't have it. Now, I get it. But I have this drop. Hey, where's the beef? Thank you. For Jacoby Beef Briskin. Naeem Heinz, Jonathan Williams, Jordan Wilkins. Jordan Wilkins returned to a limited practice on Tuesday. His status today will be huge. Yes. If he, like, if he is limited, then we still have no idea.

who it will be between him and Jonathan Williams. The fact that he's limited on Tuesday, I would expect him to at least be active. But if he's a full participant between him and Jonathan Williams, man, I just don't have confidence. Andy, do you, if Wilkins is full practice today, do you still have your Jonathan Williams faith? I do. And look, it is every time during the year, good or bad, you've got a feeling about a player based on their performance last week.

He had a monstrous performance, 8.9 a carry-on, a ton of carries. The coaches like him. My confidence is with Jonathan Williams. And I'm not letting it go even if Wilkins is active. I will say this. In our league of record, I am the Mac owner. So this is a devastating loss for me in my playoff push. And I had to take a deep dive last night. I really wanted to try to get this right. In my opinion, I was swayed by reading and seeing what.

the coaches have been saying about what's happened on the practice squad for a while. Jonathan Williams was actually only active for this game because Wilkins was injured. But they were saying he's just been unbelievable in practice all season. You know, while he's been a cult, he's been great. So I think Jonathan Williams has himself a really good game here. There's no security. That's just where I would put my chips if I have to play a Colts running back. I'd put it on Jonathan Williams.
