When the Titans won 9 to 6, all field goals, 255 total passing yards between the quarterbacks. Yeah, like I said, no one cares about this game. Leonard Fournett owners care, Mike. Except for fantasy football players. So, fantasy football players, if you categorize players of relevance, you're probably talking Leonard Fernette, Dionne Lewis, Corey Davis, Marcus Mariotta. Probably, but.

43:20 ↗

I don't know if people realize this. Derek Henry out snapped Dionne Lewis last week. Yeah, what did that equate to? Less. So, Corey Davis and Marcus Mario. That you can't rely on Dionne Lewis is what it came to. This is a tough matchup. Over the last six weeks, the Jags defense has given up only 15 points on the ground to running packs. I don't think you play Lewis or Henry if you have any other option. At the wide out position, they've given up the fourth least, 24.4 points a game.

43:50 ↗

Corey Davis has done enough over the last four weeks, I think, to trust him with Marcus Marriota. I would. But again, you've got a Jaylon Ramsey problem. You've got a team that just shut down T.Y. Hilton and company last week. So am I excited? No. 9-6, all field goals last time. Not excited. Leonard, you can play. Oh, man. And it is really hard. I'm struggling over here to find storylines because the Titans, they're shutting everything down except for.

44:20 ↗

They're not completely shutting down the wide receiver position, but in your playoffs, you're not going to start Dante Moncrief. We're past that. You can't take that risk. Here's Cory Davis in three games against Jacksonville in his career. Two for 34, one for four, zero for zero. So, yeah. Yeah. I mean. But Corey Davis has, it's really been recent that the connection is coming on.

44:52 ↗

I'm going to play him with some level of confidence. Like right now I have him at wide receiver 25. So that means I'm playing him over. Corey Davis or Alshan Jeffrey? Uh, Alshan? Ro. I think so. Corey Davis or Doug Baldwin against Minnesota? Baldwin. All right. Corey Davis or, I mean.

45:23 ↗

As you bring these up, I keep moving Corey Davis further down in my ranking. Corey Davis or Larry Fitzgerald against Detroit. I'll play Corey Davis there. Okay. We found one. Yeah, we did it. Look, that's it. Marcus Mario, let's talk about this. Four top seven quarterback performances in the last four games he's finished, which is always nice. Jacksonville does give up fantasy points to the quarterback or has. Last week, they didn't. Andrew Luck.

45:52 ↗

uh marcus mariotta mariotta pulled a really good game out of a really bad game last week so this week he's our consent he's our consensus qb 22 yeah i'm not i'm not interested in playing in versus jacksville all right jones smith like for example i would rather stream josh allen oh yeah the new york jets then play marcus mariotta i would rather play cousins on the road in seattle

46:22 ↗

Over Mario, trying to see if there's a real nasty one that I would rather do. Nah, I mean, like Dak against Philadelphia. I would rather play him over Mario. You know what I just realized this. Now, every year, twice a year, my kid's school does a concert. Oh, yes, the school concert. Now, listen, I'm going to break it down for you. Dad life in a nutshell. Mike, you understand this. Very much.

46:54 ↗

Now, my children, my boys, one's a fourth grader, and one's a first grader, okay? That's two shows. You darn right. That's two separate shows. Because what they do... They are not close enough. What they've chosen to do at this illustrious establishment is they want to gather together every human in our vicinity, and they want to stuff them into a building, and then they do two concerts. They do kindergarten first and second grade, and then they do like...

47:21 ↗

third, fourth, and fifth grade. And then they do another one after that. But now, and they're like an hour and a half each. Okay? So you can do the math. Brooks, you can do the math, right? Baby Josh, maybe help them out. That's three hours of sitting. And your kid goes up there for like two seconds because it's kindergarteners go up there. Then first seconders go up there. Oh, no. It's not everyone the whole time? No, no, no. So you watch all the kindergartners. You don't know any of them. Then you see your son.

47:48 ↗

Then you watch all the second graders, then all the third graders, then you see your son again for the fourth graders. Now I just realized something. This is tomorrow for me, okay? Which means, would I rather be watching Jacksonville, Tennessee, or being at this three-hour concert? Now I love my children, and I'm going to be there, and I may or may not have asked them if I had to go.

48:11 ↗

This morning. What a terrible dad. You asked. I asked the older one whether I could leave at the halftime break. No, you know what? You deserve now? So that him and his mom could go out for ice cream afterwards because I got to bring the little girl home for sleep. No, this is what you deserve. He said no. He wants me there. You deserve to not only be there in the front row. Actually, no, for this plane. You'll got to go second row. But you also have to have the game on your mobile device.

48:36 ↗

With one earbud in enduring both of these travesties. Now, if I could, I would. But the Wi-Fi situation in this building is not good. I've been to many concerts. That's part of the problem. You've got to use that cell service so it's buffering every three seconds. You brought this on yourself. This is my night. Tomorrow night. Be thinking of me. Imagine if it was Monday night football on top of it. I might want whatever disease Jason has at this point in time. I'd rather be at home vomiting.

49:06 ↗

That sounds like I'm a terrible father. It does. It really, really does. My kids do not take a... My oldest boy does not take a lot of pride in the singing of Christmas song with a bunch of his peers. He always looks very, very unexcited, uninspired on stage. It's not one of his core strengths. I love him, and I'll happily go watch. But he's not excited. Oh, man, this whole just continues to get deeper and deeper. I love it. You want to spend three hours?

49:36 ↗

You tell me you're excited at these events? No. Are your kids excited? And shout out to the music teacher at my kid's school who had to cancel the winter program. Oh, my gosh. Are you serious? You're done right. I'm serious. I'm off the hook, baby. Oh, my goodness. I mean, my children are very disappointed. Yeah, you didn't want to see them up there? Totally. Totally did. Okay.

50:05 ↗

No, my kids love the singing. So I love watching them. Hey, you're going to play daily. We're going to play daily this weekend. Draft.com slash ballers.
