Week 13 Studs & Duds + Monday Punday, Javonte’s Inferno - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/6

Bad. Well, both Tyrod Taylor and General Mills scored the same amount of points, which was zero. Wow. That's fair. And then we'll be monitoring Joe Mixen and Chris Godwin and Jalen Wadde, who had some minor injuries just in case something is more severe. Monday night game tonight. The update is just that it's going to be a weathery game. I mean, this is two, the two best defenses, I would say, in football.

You know, it's the first time we're going to see Buffalo with Atradivius White for a full game. And the implications are so fun. You're talking about if the Patriots win, they are alone at the top. They are the number one seat. If the Patriots lose, I think the difference between the first seat and the 13th is two and a half games. It's outrageous the parody right now in the AFC. And it's awesome. It's super fun.

Anything else, Brooksie, that you got for us? That's it for now. How are you doing today? Pretty good. Nice Monday morning? Yeah, not too bad. You've been wearing the Christmas hat. You're in the Christmas spirit fully? Yeah. Did you get any lights up on the house yet? No, not on the house yet. Got the tree up. Nice. I recommend the just like the nets for over the bushes and stuff. They're on the way. The nets are wonderful. It's just, it's a...

It's a low-impact way for those of us who are far too cowardly to get on the ladder and hang lights on the roof. Mike just throws nets up on the second story. He just throws them up there, like he's catching fish. A couple squares up on the roof. Just sparkling up there. You're not going up to the second story. Are you, Brooks? No, no, no. Because that's in your contract. You can't do that. What about the third story, Brooks? Oh, good question. Nice out. His team. His team will take care of his lights.

It's hard to hang lights on a castle. I will say that. That was today's news and notes. Presented by Sleeper, the leader in breaking news alerts.

That's it for the show today. Yeah. I mean, I scored our head-to-head draft kings where one of you lost by a point.

Sorry, less than a point. Less than a point. I scored 190 points. And I had that lineup in the millie maker. I didn't crack the top 5,000 lineups with 190 points. That's crazy. Yeah, it was wild. I love that your lineup was filled with, you know, flames, you know, and then John and Taylor wasn't one. He was so expensive. Even though he was 20, whatever. Yeah, his points were expected. Kyler Murray.

Welcome back. 123 passing yards ends up with a huge fantasy day. Very efficient. Third. The ankle is fine. Third most fantasy points ever for a quarterback with 15 or fewer pass attempts. Cardinals defense forced multiple turnovers, which meant short fields. You had the rushing yardage, 10 for 59 and 2 on the ground. That was the most of the year. Yeah, he looked great. Tom Brady, 38 for 51, 368 and 4. Ho-hum.

He destroys the Falcons. Justin Herbert matched him pretty much 26 for 35, 317 and 3. He's on fire right now. Quarterback 2, 15, 1, 6, and 3 over the last five weeks. Gets the Giants, the Chiefs, and the Texans for the next three weeks. Okay. There's also the quarterback 2 on the year. Like, you have to look at him going into next season.

in a completely different lens than you did coming in. Yeah, he is unstoppable. He's great. But the Giants and the Kansas City Chiefs, those are defenses coming up where it sounds great on paper because on the year they've been bad, but lately they've been pretty darn good. And we do know that the offense for the Chargers seems to turn off every once in a while. Matthew Stafford, 295 and 3, back on track against Jacksonville. That's their purpose in the league is to get you back on track.

and Arizona next week. The Arizona game is the Monday night football game. I know you are both going to be there, right? Yes, sir. And I believe, with a victory, the Cardinals will clinch the division. Nice. Either that or we'll make it like a, I think it might be Magic Number 1 or something like that. Gotcha. I know that if we win, we'll be the best team record-wise in the NFL. Like we are now? Oh, that's right. We are. We will continue to be. Jason, did you have breaking news you're about to hit? Well, I just had a button with this next name on the...

on the list. What? Zach Wilson? What? 23 for 38, 226 and 2. Good for you, man. Also had a rushing touchdown. He also gave Elijah Moore a good fantasy game. Or did Elijah Moore help give Zach Wilson a good fantasy game? Because Elijah Moore has been outstanding. Let's give them both credit. Yeah, sure. But I mean, you think about the rookie wide receivers this year. It's been a good year. Jamar Chase has gotten a ton of

publicity. Devonza Smith has been great. And then Jalen Waddle is starting to get the respect he's due. But quietly, Elijah Moore has shown out. Yeah, I was stuck on the part where you said Devonta Smith has been great when I only got two points from him. Up and down. But Elijah Moore is is on fire right now. Kurt Cousins, Jason's start of the week. They let him cook 340 and 2. And it's still going to be a little bit like.

Normally when you lose a big receiver, like the offense kind of slowed down. It looked bad. And then he got it together because you can throw the ball twice as much to Justin Jefferson if you want to. You're allowed to do that and it just doesn't, the defense can't stop him. Jared Goff ended up with 296 and three. Big Ben, 236 and two. Oh, well, Jared Goff also ended up with the game winner. A W. Yeah. Congratulations, Detroit. Jared Geard. Congratulations, you will not be winless. If you watch.

Thank you. If you watch the sideline video of Dan Campbell, who I love, and when that touchdown happened, it's the jubilation and joy in this first time coach getting the first dub. It was overwhelming. And there was this moment, I think, where they inexplicably went forward on fourth down in their own territory. Yeah, it was a little strange. Where Jason was like, that play was to get the pick.

And then the way they drove down and won the game and the jubilation showed me that that just wasn't the case. I think they were just trying to. They're being very, very aggressive on that fourth down. Running back, studs. Oh, yes, sir. He is who we thought he was. I'm so happy that it happened because we've been saying it's going to happen. And then he had the opportunity to make it happen. And then it happened.

Javante's Inferno, it was. 23 for 102. The big one was 6 for 76 in a touchdown through the air. Yes, sir. This is Javante Williams, running back rookie for the Denver Broncos. Yeah, he was going to, and he has Detroit next week. Oh, brother.

Get healthy, Melvin. This is the first opportunity. Yeah, like rest. Oh, oh, okay. Yes. Yeah, that came across much more like get healthy for the Detroit matchup. No, no, no, no, no. Which he may be. No, oh, like. He probably is. Fully, fully recover, man. Like, come back 110%. Think of your future. You've had a good year. You want a contract. Don't get hurt this year. It's amazing because the, I know how, you know, we're very.

vocal about, you know, don't go tag players. Don't go make, you know, make light of these injuries on social media to the players. I don't envy being Melvin Gordon because there is no question. First of all, there's no question based on his tweeting history that he follows his own name. And second of all, when he's not tagged. And second of all, not everyone shares the convictions we do about that. And he's been great. He's been a wonderful running back. In fact,

If he plays next week, he's a start against Detroit. 100%. So it's one of those things where if Giovante is a, the debate will be where he goes next year because in fantasy drafts. Because you know that Henry and, you know, Taylor and McCaffrey and Cook will be in the conversation. And where will the jump be for Giovante? Just depends on if they bring in another back to continue a timeshare and that's the, the, the,

strategy they want to employ or if they let him be the guy personnel-wise, because if he's the guy personnel-wise, if they let Melvin Gordon go and they don't really resign anyone but maybe a veteran to add depth on the roster, then he'll be like the sixth pick in the draft. But he had a big week and it was exciting to see, unfortunately, didn't lead to a victory for the Broncos, but he was their lone bright star on the team.

I believe you've met my fitness consiglieri, Michelle. Sony, Michelle, 24 for 121 and 1. It was a perfect situation for Sony. He's the, what, running back 4 in the week right now? David Montgomery, a monster week as well. That was nice to see because it had been a while. And he went 21 for 90 on the ground, had a touchdown, nine targets, eight for 51.

At one point early in the game, he had, I believe, 80 of their rounding errors here, but it was like 80 of their 100 total yards. He was their offense and against a tough matchup. So it was great to see. Jonathan Taylor, of course, was great. 32 for 143 and 2 against Houston, has the buy. So he won't perform. That's disappointing. We found a way to stop him. He has scored a rushing touchdown in 10 straight weeks.

And he does it real quick. He gets it out of the way early. The first one. So ridiculous, man. Alexander Madison continues to thrive when he has the opportunity. Detroit also helps. 22 for 90 and one, three targets, three for 34 was the start of the week. He's been the RB7, RB9, and RB5 in his three starts without Delvin Cook. Pretty great. Are you super confident going forward next week against Pittsburgh? Much more difficult match.

Super confident, no, must start. Yeah. Okay. I'm super confident in the volume. Yeah. It won't be as productive, most likely. Speaking of volume. Turn it up. Antonio, get song. 23 for 88, 6 targets, 5 for 23 in a touchdown. It's all about those opportunities for Gibson. No J.D. McKissick this week. And since the buy, 26, 19, 36, 29 opportunities. Dallas next week, 4-game winning streak.
