Week 11 Studs & Duds, Rising Stars, Booger in the Paint

both who were having success when they just mathematically should not be. It brought a little joy to me. It shouldn't, but it did. I feel like what happened this week, and stay with me, is that George Kittles clearly a motivational talent. And with his bye week, nobody else, I mean, Trey Burton's like, I don't need to show up either. It's a bye for you. I'm sitting home. Zach Ertz? How do you go from one of the greatest games that tied in to two for 15?

obviously with like four guys defending you because that's what they did. They said Carson beat us elsewhere. Yeah. The Zach Err's poopy pants cannot be understated. I mean, the guy, well, how many receptions a game was he averaging? I'm looking it up. He was averaging eight receptions a game coming into this contest. That was an incredible performance by the Saints defense.

Yeah, it really was. You also had on the other side of the ball on that same game when they put up, you know, 50 points, Ben Watson, not a single target, just unnecessary. Uh, yeah. Still, when you score 45 points. Yeah, you'd hope. You kind of hope you're necessary. Right. You'd hope you're involved. Well, and that's the funny thing, right? Like, Watson had one catch for one yard last week, zero this week. Treyquan was goose last week, 13 targets this week.

Um, it's the name of the game. Hooper, Pooper. Hooper was four for 27. This is a great game this week. In this landscape, I would have taken it. I mean, it's ridiculous. Like CJ Usama, three for 41, that's. It's better to tell you who didn't poop than it is to tell you who did with the tight-in position. So I'm going to read you names of players you might have actually started that were good at tight-in. So you can feel better. All right.

Jordan Reed. You could have started him. Could have. 13 points in a standard league. Jared Cook. You could have started him, nine points. The number two tight in. Vance McDonald, eight points. Oh, yeah, you had to do the Vance. O.J. Howard, seven points. Yeah, that's great. Greg Olson, six points. Wait, he had six points? Yes. He had a touchdown. Was he really one for two for nine? With a touchdown. Evan Engram.

Okay. Two for 66. I'm glad you got 32% of the snaps. Red Ellison had the rest. I'm glad you brought him up because this is. It worked out this week and maybe it works out Eric Ebron style, but this is Red Alert for Evan Engram. Oh, is that Ret Alert? Oh, what is happening? Yeah, buddy. And he's on fire. You are. That's the, that's the Red Alert. You sh-

Don't buy into Engram's production, unfortunately. I don't know why the team is doing this. I think Engram is a mismatch, but they're not playing him and they're not using him. They are using him enough where he's, you know, it hasn't come the way we want. We want him to be on the field more. We want him to be targeted more. He's been okay because he's a great talent. But this is not the GM that drafted him. This is not the head coach that used him last year. And Evan Ingram, we've known this since when we were scouting him as a rookie last year.

one of the worst blockers of all. I mean, you get him off the field if you're trying to run the ball and block. Well, he watched a lot of Jimmy Graham. Yeah. Growing up. He's like, man, I want to be that guy. That's the issue here is this is a team that wants to run the ball with Saquan Barkley. And when you're doing that, it's not about that Evan Ingram life. And so it's concerning. All right. That is it for today's episode of.
