Fantasy Football - Week 13 Studs & Duds + Lamar / Jefferson Panic Time! - Podcast for 12/1

He got banged up. The hamstring in week seven. And we didn't know how much that mattered. I feel like he's had a handful of bad drops, which he's got great hands. His catch percentage is insane. When you started the year, he was catching everything. Everything. And the last, what, six weeks, 42% catch rate. Yikes. So, you know, it's not working. No. I'd rather have him than Rome for fantasy. right now what's uh what's mike evans status like if we get him on the field are we gonna see better at buca i think godwin's acclamation is gonna be good for a buca because godwin godwin really ramped up this week yeah he had a he also dropped the easiest touchdown i've ever seen uh really you thought there was these brother it was one of those ones where there's like cans in the way though no no excuses okay clean into the bread basket he should have caught it yeah

I just go watch it again. It's no alave. Don't get me wrong. D.K. Matt Kaff, does he suck? Yeah. Next question. Brian Thomas Jr., does he suck? Yeah. Let's play a game of, does he suck? I was still laughing at D.K. Metcalfe. I'm sorry. I just want all to join me. Just laugh a couple more times. There it is. D.K. Mattcalfe. Who's on your team, right? Mecca? He's on his bench. Okay. Yeah. I just like the irony of him being on your team and the laughter is great. D.K. Mike. Uh, Brian Thomas Jr., two for 28. This is a game where Jacoby Myers and Britain Strange both had big games. Does Brian Thomas Jr. suck? No. No. No. He's just not as good as. Is he trying it on for size? Um, Jalen Waddle. Three for 40. Devante Smith, five for 48.

Michael Wilson, 3 for 36, and then for goodness sakes, can I talk you out of Ricky Pearsall by now? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You can't. Honestly, Mike talked me out of Ricky Pearsall last week when he brought up something we should have seen earlier, but the kind of breakout games early in this season for Ricky Pearsall. It was the Ibuka effect. No Jennings. Where it's Pierceall is the first run pick. This is what he was supposed to be. So when you feel like you're seeing it happen. You do want to buy in. Because honestly, when you see those things happen with young players, buying in as fast as you can works more than it does. No, it does. It was just two games, though. That's the hard part. We just didn't see a lot. And those games were minus Jennings. And then the one game that Jennings was there early in the season, Pearsall didn't have a good game. And Jennings did it really. There's not a really good way to talk about Jennings, but I wish I could. No, we got it. The, if you didn't see the commentary, who I don't remember who the player was, Kyle.

name, but there was someone commented about words that. Malie Collins. Okay. That Jennings or topics that Jennings brings us to bring up on the field that are, I mean, a lot of stuff gets set on a field, things that you don't mean. I mean, just hurtful, hateful things because you're trying to psych out your opponent. But we all know there's a line. There's a line. Even in the grossest mucky muck, there's still a line you don't cross. Apparently Jennings does cross that line. Lee Collins said that he thought it was appropriate what happened to him last week. And if you don't remember, Jennings was who got punched in the nards. And he got punched in the nards due to what he said. Now, I don't know what he said. It hasn't been reported what he said. I really want to know what he said. Because what could you say that gets you punched in the nards and then have other players be like, that dude should have got punched in the nards.

He's like, I understand why. And I want it known. Yeah. He's like, I'm surprised someone hasn't punched him in the jaw. Yeah. Crazy. We got to figure out. I love that storyline. Yeah. Well, think about what would make you punch somebody in the nards. And it probably was one of those things. I don't know if words. I mean, I guess maybe. It's, I mean, it's got to be family. I hope you're crossing the line talking about people's families. If that happens, though, and you drop to one knee and punch me in the nards. That's just funny in and of itself.

What did you say? Hey, yeah. All right. Arronday Gadsden, one for 27. You know, it was close to a touchdown. The catch, it was like on the goal line. I don't know what to think about Gadsden in the moment. Jason, any thoughts? Yeah, I mean. How are you going to pick which tight end to start? Because you got Waller back out on the field. That's my pick. You got, so now you're to Waller. Yep. I traded for Waller for the playoffs and it's going to trade for Gadsden for the playoffs. Well, after I lost Waller. I didn't know I was getting Waller back. But, uh, yeah, Waller was my original. Who did you play this week? Tight end bet. Mark Andrews. Oh, the guy's also in this segment? Correct. Um, it tight end has been a struggle bus this year. If you didn't, if you didn't get one of those great top guys, uh, it's, it's tough in the streets, man. No, it really is. Because chasing is what.

Chasing feels the most right thing to do at tight-in, and it's not the right thing to do. It just feels like when you put a guy into your lineup that just performed, it feels good. Matchups at the tight-end position, you know, when you are not locked into a McBride of Bowers, more than any other position, you really want to play the matchups. You know, Dalton Schultz is a good example where I was like, bench him against Philly, play them against Indy. They both work. Gadsden now plays Philly, who you're not going to play Gadsden this next week. Following that is the Chiefs who are, I believe, number six against tight ends. So you've looked into this like a professional. Yeah. The one thing I'll say about Andrews, who was 4' 47, is the exploit of the Chief's tight ends, or the Bengals' tight in situation, it was still there. Like Isaiah likely was five for 95 and almost had a long touchdown catch that he fumbled in the end zone.

And 447 is not the end of the world. He didn't get the touchdown we thought he'd get, but that's 10 for about 130 yards, 140 yards for the tight-in position against Cincinnati. It is still quite exploitable. Yeah, I mean, I, so I've got right now on my roster, I got Mark Andrews, Gadsden, and Waller, and I'm looking at the playoff schedule, and I'm really trying to find that Sincey match up, and wouldn't you know it? That's basically it's the Miami Dolphins and the Baltimore Ravens have the two easiest tight-end schedules for the playoffs. Both of them get to play Cincinnati in the- So who cares if you can't find a tight-end during the year if you find them during the playoffs? That's all you need. Well, if you make the playoffs. Which Hunter Henry. Hunter, Hunter, don't you do me dirty? He was your number one. He was my start of the week last week. Championship week.

For, uh, who plays Cincinnati? Arizona. Trey McBride Championship Week. Oh. We are lined up. Mr. McBride. We are lined up. Now, will that be Kyler though? Wow. I don't even think that matters. Yeah. Don't know. It matters. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. It matters. We've seen these numbers. Someone, I read the tweet. I'm sorry. I don't remember who pointed it out, but there's like, Trey McBride has more touchdowns in the, the seven games that. Jacoby Brissette has started than he has in his entire career with Kyla Murray. Wow. Like, if you don't think a, if you don't think a quarterback matters, just to ask Justin Jefferson. Yeah. That was Studs and Duds presented by Lowe's, Lowe's, Nose Sundays are for NFL football.
