He's on the list. The one name that I, you know, if, if I'm picking. Jacob Hollister. Jacob Hollister, aka Abercrombie. That's what he wears. No Hollister for him. Between Ryan Griffin and Jacob Hollister. If your name was Hollister, would you wear Hollister. I think you would. Yeah, I would totally. You would. You would. 100% will. Well, because you're wearing yourself. Right. No, I just mean Jason would be the kind of, like, some people would be like, I divert that. Like, my name's Hollister. I would never be caught dead in a Hollister shirt.

Inside the episode
125 passagesI'm going to go to Abercrombie. So, yeah, like, thank goodness I wasn't named Old Navy. Not because I'd just be rocking those logo shirts. They're like, look at me. It's a strange name. Just bathing in their cologne. Oh, yeah. So here's the name I do want to bring up. And I want to bring it up because I feel a little skewed. I feel a little hot and bothered, and I want you to talk me down off of this. Are we talking about Cleveland?
We are talking about Cleveland. We are talking about David and Joku. This guy. He's not back yet. This guy. I know this is more of a hole because I can't imagine you playing him. But Miami, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Arizona. These are amazing matchups. He has the best rest of season scheduled for tight ends. And by he, I just mean Cleveland because he isn't out there yet. But.
As far as a talent, you're bringing up names, Ryan Griffin, Jacob Hollister, maybe Darren Fells, Ross Dwelley. None of these guys are anywhere near the talent as a human being that David and Joku is. But is it bad advice to say pick up this guy who's been injured isn't back yet for the struggling Browns? Because I feel like...
Well, I mean, I think it might be a little bit of an indictment on players like Dallas Goddard and know a fan to say Injoku is some other world athlete and they're not. I left those names out on purpose. You did. You did. And those would be two names that I'd rather have than David Injoku. Dallas Goddard will play a ton of snaps, limited wide receiver options. Carson wins can't get it together. And no, a fan with the target. So do I think it's idiotic? No, I don't think it's idiotic. You got to talk to the deeps. Yeah, I mean, you're talking about what has to happen. You need Injoku to get back.
Get integrated on all the snaps and then get Baker Mayfield going. So is it possible? Sure. Probable? I would be on the outside of that one. Mike, where do you weigh in? I am on the outside of the probability as well. But it's not an idiotic move at all to stash him. It's such a strong word even when I said it. I was like, you're not an idiot. But it was your word. I know. I was just saying your word. Thank you, guys. Not an idiot. Thanks. I think the.
Jason's also secretly hoping for peanut butter dwelling time once again. Oh, goodness. Oh, peanut butter dwelling time. All right. You expect kiddle back, right? I don't know. Like this season, yes. Yeah, this week. Maybe not. But let's keep it in mind. Peanut butter dwelling time was brought on by the Arizona Cardinals defense in that defense alone. All right. Other drop candidates, I'm just going to ask them real quick. Would you drop? People have to make decisions for all these names. David Johnson. No. Willing.
Willing. Brian Hill. I'm willing to drop him, yeah. Yeah. He's a no for me. Sony, Michelle? No. Okay. No. Let's talk quarterbacks. Full stream ahead. Streaming quarterback options. Update. Update. David and Joku. Olivier Vernon, among those not out at Brown's practice today. So, it's just, the thing is, is if...
I wanted to look that up because if he was, if he's practicing and being in full, then I am interested. If he's not out. Breaking news. Uh-oh. That face says your voice ready, Jay. Oh, no. The dolphins have waved Mark Walton. Oh, no. Hey.
They've been made aware of a police matter earlier. Oh, come on, Mark. Earlier this morning regarding Walton. Now, four blemishes on the resume, according to Roder World. This is Adam Beasley on Twitter. Did we not bring up Belage? No, because we should not. No, I mean, we did. I brought him up. I didn't overview him. We've been talking about him for weeks. Caleb Blage is, he's going to get you 10 points as the starting running back. Maybe. Well, he has every single time.
Uh, no. Every time he's been the starter since, uh, the Walton suspension. I mean, he got a touchdown. All the weeks we've said, yeah. But what, hold on. Really? Yes. Now when you say all of the weeks. Even last week he was horrible. I'm not saying he's good guys. He's 10, he was, he was seven for 19 is not 10 points. Wait, last week? Three weeks. When his, his three weeks ago.
No, there's only been two weeks. Oh, he's 28th and 25th. So do what you... Look, he sucks. Nine for nine with a touchdown. I guess he caught a bunch. He got five passes for eight yards. Yes. Five passes for eight yards. Nine carries for nine yards. This dude sucks. He has, right now, he's on pace for 102 rushing attempts at 195 yards. One point nine yards of carry. I thought we brought him up perfectly, which is in passing. All right. Okay.
Yep. No, thank you. No, no. All right. Streaming quarterback options for week 12. I'm going to go once again. Oh. I'm going to go back. Send in the car. Send in the car. I will not stop endorsing the 6 and 4 Raider quarterback Derek Carr 25 for 29 last week. Plays New York. The Jets offense is actually figuring some things out. I think there's a lot of opportunity in this game.
for Carr, Tyrell Williams, the Walleris and Company, solid, safe, streamer, Derek Carr. I am going with a guy who I think has looked a little bit better lately. He's looked a lot better. He's looked a lot better. He's not looked great because his last four matchups have been just Assassin's Row here, New England, Denver, Buffalo, and Pittsburgh. That is as hard as it gets for a quarterback matchup stretch. I'm talking about the Injokulis.
Baker Mayfield. I think he's a good streaming option this week. You know, he's got Miami on the docket. Their offense has been getting better. Miami is the second lowest in pressure and sack rate in the league. So that's a clean pocket for Baker. We've seen him be able to succeed when he has time to throw. But that offensive line has been such a problem this year. And the offensive line will have an easier time against the dolphins. You know, you just...
You look at him under pressure and not under pressure, and I think this is a good matchup. He's got two touchdowns in each of the last two weeks. Baker's a guy I think you can play. I agree with you. And I am going to stream. Donald Schwarzenegger. It's just me. I am back. Oh, dear. You shouldn't be back. But it's too late. I put me in. Oh, gosh. I'm going Sam. Please don't turn off your. Don't turn off your podcast. Never.
All right. He gets to play Oakland, Oakland allowing the six most passing yards. Look, and they're allowing deep plays. And Darnold finally was connecting on some deep plays. And look, Javison Crowder. I mean, he, he is what we had hoped Robbie Anderson would become, which is a very reliable weapon in the passing game for Sam Darnold. And I think that the football has been, or the football played by the Jets and Sam Donald has been a lot better.
Four touchdowns against Washington. A beatable matchup. You can stream him. How is Baker Mayfield 54% owned? I don't know, man. Are you saying on the high side or the low side? I'm saying I can't believe that over half of leagues already have Baker when he has sucked all season and been unusable the last month and a half. Because there's a 10 to 20% variable there of the fact he was a normally drafted quarterback. So if you had an auto drafted league, he's on rosters. I think that's why.
Okay. That's the direction I lean. By the way, Mike, did you listen to the show yesterday when you were down and out? No, I was deceased. Okay. So you missed Jason use his mute button mid word. That's correct. It sounded like there was some sort of... I cut myself off. I was not sure I was done talking. That's correct. But I am me. So it's interesting. How did you do that? Well, I needed a cough. And I... So I went to use the cough button, but I cut myself off.
I don't know. It was very jarring. Producer Borland thought that we had lost power in some capacity. So it was very special. That's very funny. Very special moment. Defense versus offense. Presented by head and shoulders and Walmart. All right. Defense versus offense, defensive streaming options this week. I especially like Mike's pick this week. Oh, yes. Why wouldn't you? Oh, yes. I'll just kick it off here.
I'm going with Detroit taking on Washington. And yes, we have some stats. I mean, we could rattle these off, you know, like Washington averaging about 170 or passing yards per game, fewest. They're averaging 53 plays per game, fewest. But here's the deal. Dwayne Haskins is really, really bad. We had hoped. We had some high hopes here for Dwayne Haskins that he had the buy week.
This was his second start that he could actually come through and do something. But if the Dwayne Haskins experiment continues, then Detroit is fully in play. He is bad. Well, he's going to take sacks. He's going to turn the ball over. He's going to do it through fumbles. He's going to do it through interceptions. And it's difficult to watch. That's the truth. Jason.
Look, I'm going with a team that is out there. They are widely available because they've been a trash, trash, trash awful defense this whole year. This is a team you can't imagine playing. But something happened in the by week for the Atlanta Falcons, and I believe it's real. Andy, you said you confirmed this morning. Yeah, Dan Quinn gave up play calling duties after the buy. Rahim Morris and mostly linebacker coach Jeff Oldbridge took over and wow.
Yeah, and so... Should that get Quinn fired? I mean, do you fire the guy for making the correct decision to improve it? It's a desperate call, though. He should have made that decision before, I don't know, before the buy week. Yeah, well, here's a deal. The decision has been made. The Atlanta Falcons the last two weeks have been excellent and not... I mean, you saw what they did to Kyle Allen this last week, but the week before was, you know, against the New Orleans Saints, against Drew Breeze, and they look pretty good. Now they get...
A divisional matchup against James Winston. James Winston and the Tampa Bay. Look, if Tampa Bay has 400 yards of offense on the Atlanta Falcons, the Atlanta Falcons can still have a monstrous fantasy day because they can have two pick sixes. James Winston has 13 interceptions over his last five games. That's just impressive work. And I think the Atlanta Falcons are a streamable play in this matchup this week.
Mike is trying to tell me not to bring up. Don't do it, man. I did it again. What is wrong with my praise? What are you doing? I don't know. Why are you pushing the button? All right. What are you doing? You know how coughing works. It happens after your sentence. My hand is not part of my... You got a quick draw. I got a quick draw. Dude, if we were if we were in dual... Fastest cough button in the west. Yes. If we were in a duel, you'd be dead.
Here's the deal. Because it would be like, draw on three. One, two, boom. Yeah, you're darn right. I saw this in the dock, Andy, and I made eyes with you. And I thought that was a joke placeholder. And I was excited to see who you're going with. But let's tell the Foot Clan. Let's see what happens here. Cincinnati is at home against Mason Rudolph. And that's it. So you're saying the Pittsburgh Steelers D got it. No, I'm saying the Cincinnati Bengals defense.
at home against Pittsburgh. Does Pittsburgh have Juju, Deontay Johnson? Does he have James Connor? It's going on the road. This is not a good situation. All right. And you know for a fact that there will be turnovers, and sometimes that's really what takes the cake. Mike, is the Detroit defense a good defense? No. I think they might be worse statistically than the Bengals this year in a lot of various metrics, but they're not a good defense. You're playing Mason Rudolph.
That has meant very, very good thing. But Mason Rudolph is better than Dwayne Haskins. The last time that I mocked someone on this segment for their pick, I couldn't handle Mike picking the Kansas City Chiefs as a defense, and they were awesome that week. We have a streamfinder tool. We have it for the foot planet. Join thefoot.com. Let me read you the fantasy finishes of teams that played Pittsburgh over the last three weeks. The Colts were the seventh best defense. The Rams were the third best defense.
Last week, the Cleveland Browns were the third best defense. So the Mason Rudolph era equals top 10 defensive performances. Take away Juju. Take away Deonti Johnson. Take away James Connor. And then play them on the road. Mason Rudolph on the road. How's that look? I mean, I totally get that argument. That's all I got for you. That's all I can do. You could very well be right. It's a divisional game. They need a win. You know what we did here today? We gave three defenses that are.
