five or six point week from one of those weeks with your other options. But I would just be surprised if you lucked into three mass of weeks. Let's play a game here, Jason. Let's say that there was three boxes, okay? Okay. And two of the boxes had a million dollars in them, and one had a tarantial inside. Holy crap.

Inside the episode
142 passagesAnd then you, so this is the Lockett situation. I did not see this coming. So we mix them all up and then you get to open a box. No, it's not open. You just have to put your hand in. Oh! But the odds, I mean, two-thirds odds. I mean, let's put that, let's get Lockett. Lockett's going on my bench, baby. I'm not playing with that nonsense. You could take your million dollars and.
Light it on fire. Now, if I change it to a scorpion, does it change anything? Oh, absolutely. So you'll put your hand in a scorpion box. Yeah, that's fine. Okay. We'll get a scorpion sting. To shoot for the million dollars? Tyler Lockett is 30, 34 yards away from his career high. Like, that's, that's how good. No, Russ for part of the year. That's how good the season has been for Lockett here.
Yeah, and the reality is his... Or bad his old seasons were. His terrible stretch, you know, when he was unusable, those three of those games were Gino Smith. He could redeem his entire reputation at these three playoff games. He could. Yeah. Might happen. They're going to be fighting. They're going to be fighting for that, you know, they won again. They're going to be fighting for the wildcard. I would, all jokes aside, I would be playing Tyler Lockett. I wouldn't be reaching for tarantulas, though, ever. Okay.
How many boxes would it take to play the game? Oh, man. Right, like, there's only one tarantula box. Holy crap. And I could add as many boxes of a million dollars. One in ten? No, no. There are ten boxes? You're talking a hundred boxes. A hundred boxes, you'd go for it. I might. Oh, my gosh. I might. Okay, 100 boxes. There's only one with a spider, 99 with a million dollars, and you get it go as long as you want. Oh, man. I will keep going.
Once. Because I will either die or I will stop with a million dollars. Oh, my gosh. Jamar Chase. Oh, the variance. Five for 77 and two. Jason or Mike started the week. Hunter Renfro 14 targets, 13 for 11. 17 and 1. That dude is amazing. You cannot stop him. And since the injury, you know, losing rugs, never having.
Brian Edwards and having lost Darren Waller, Hunter Renfro is unstoppable. Like, you know, nobody can guard Hunter Renfro. He's not, he doesn't have the athletic profile that can just go and take over a game and dominate. But if you're talking about, hey, he is Cooper Cup light. Yeah, absolutely. He's Cooper Cup light. He really is. You know, I think I need to start viewing him more as like a Wes Welker in his prime where it's just so consistent, so common, and he can get a.
deep shot. You know, they do sneak them out and leak them down the field. A sneak and leak. A sneak and leak, as I call it. The old sneak and leak. Let me give you a number. Would you rather have Hunter Renfro or Tyler Lockett rest of the playoffs? Give me Hunter Impro. Me too. Let me give you the sixth game. Last six games Hunter Infro is on pace for 155 targets, 13154 yards, and eight and a half touchdowns. What is that catch percentage then? That's got to be 87%.
87%. And his, you know, yards per catch. I mean, he's had some good games in there. He was 16.8, 11, you know. Can't guard Mike. I mean, that's what it seems like. Like this stretch is, you know, is Michael Thomas. Do you have the box score up, Andy? His? What do you mean? His game log. Yeah, I have his game log. Okay. What are he doing week 11 against the Bengals? That was his worst game in this stretch. Okay. It's four for 30. And you know what that completely correlated with?
Darren Waller. Yeah. Darren Waller in week 11, seven for one, 16. But surrounded by that was week 10, Waller 24 yards, week 12, Waller 33 yards. Well, and you also had the, I mean, the buy week, they came out of the by week into more Henry rugs too, right? Yes, but I'm saying the impact of Waller and the impact that Waller has on Renfro here.
I think it's a real thing. And could they both really thrive in the same exact game? That I'm not sure. It does seem like there is a, yeah, thrive, maybe not. But it seems like there's a nice floor for Renfro. And I wish I had them. I mean, like, I wish I had them over Devante Smith to finish this year out. I wish I had them over, you know, a lot of players. So Devante Adams, huge game, two touchdowns. He was, he was awesome. Mike Evans, another touchdown six for 91.
Robbie Anderson, 12 targets, 7 for 84 and a touchdown. What? There he is. I don't, I'm not going to chase that. No, you're not. Justin Jefferson, we talked about the Thursday game, the best worst game, seven for 79 and one. 15 targets, though. Not a Hunter Renfro catch percentage there. And then Alan Lazard last night, six for 75 and one, just to further twist the knife on Mike, who played MVS. Yep. Jalen Geithen, who, uh,
took care of business for me. Caught his deep bomb. And one of us is getting the shame this week, and it's not me. And it's not me. And it's not me. I'm leaving the show. This week, well, I've got an idea for you, Mike. Oh. It's a good one. Okay. Fun. K.J. Osborne caught a deep path. I mean, Guyton and Osborne were both waiver wire pickups, and they both delivered with one huge play. So it doesn't matter how it happens.
Yeah, but the, Sean Perryman says, oh my gosh. Oh, yes. The final play of the game. The full goose, final play of all of them. Of overtime? Yeah. Just walk off home run. The nice thing here for KJ. Osborne, it was, if you look at just the actual production, three for 81 and one, number one, that's off your, off of the wire to your team, that's fantastic. But nine targets. While Adam Thielen is out, I think that KJ. Osborne is.
He's safe for volume and he can hit a big play. So he becomes very interesting as a wide receiver three. There is a man in the building. Oh, wait. You're giving that to Kittle? I move it between them. Okay. Because I've always imagined that Debo and Kittle are both out there with the huge saw cutting down the trees. Like there's got to be somebody on both sides of that saw. I don't know if you've seen when they're on the sideline, they're working out.
They're just literally doing bicep curls on the sideline. It's like Santa Monica Beach. Yeah. And then they run in and then they come on out. Doing squats. It's crazy. I mean, he was unstoppable. 13-151-1-1. There were a couple catches in this game that were impossible. And he just, he leaped. Yes. He has the tight-in three on the year in 10 games played. This is why you didn't move on from George Kittle. Mm-hmm.
Because he has the chance. He plays like this. You don't lose. You get this game at tied in. You don't lose. Ever. And Mark Andrews is nearly in that category every week. 11 for 1, 15 and 1. Tighten one on the year. Yeah, he has overtaken Travis Kelsey fantasy points wise. And how it used to happen was, oh, that means he just got a ton of touchdowns. He is tied with Travis Kelsey for targets. Mike. Yes. Put.
Kittle, Andrews, and Kelsey in order to finish the year. Oh, my gosh. Who would you rather have? Well, George Kittle gets to play the Falcons, Tennessee and Houston. This was the schedule you wanted for Lans. Yeah, this is the Trey Lance playoff schedule. They're going to make the playoffs for sure. So I'm going with, I would put Kittle at the top. I don't know if Lamar is good to go or not with the ankle, even though, I mean, Andrews got this done.
without him. And the Kansas City offense, they're not back to me. The Raiders stubbornly decided that they would not go with the two safety approach in either game against Kansas City, and that turned into 40 plus points for Kansas City in both of those games, while the other teams are able to at least slow them down. I think I'm taking Andrews over Kelsey.
I think that's fair. And then I don't like it. Dawson Knox seven for 60 and a touchdown. Emmanuel Sanders don't know if he's going to be out longer, but Dawson Knox is very secure in that next tier. He has leveled up to me for sure. Yeah, yeah. I agree. And the touchdowns are coming, you know, his way a lot. So leading all tight ends with eight of them. Austin Hooper had a touchdown. That's nice. I mean, we looked at the tight ends in the middle of yesterday and it was like. It was Andrews.
Hooper and then a list of eight players that no one in fantasy play. Yeah, we were talking about the streaming options or the middle tier guys that you would have picked up and played. And it's like, oh, no, Conklin had a bad game. Oh, no, R.S.J. had a bad. But it's like they all, if you didn't have Kittle or Andrews or Knox, you had a bad game. Let's move on. Poopped in his big boy pants. Well, there were some big boy pants with heavy loads.
And tell me if you're worried. Dak Prescott. I'm not, oh, I thought you wanted the immediate answer. Go for it. I am not worried about back-to-back weeks. I'm worried. Are you? I am. Is it because the only reason that I would have to worry is how good their defense is? No, I'm worried because he's not, ever since he's come back from that injury, I mean, look at the last four weeks. He had one really big week against the,
the Raiders that just looked ridiculous on defense. But Kansas City, 28th ranked quarterback, New Orleans 21st, Washington 21st, some inexplicable passes. I think that some things, you know, we had the ankle. We had the, was it the ankle or the calf? It was a calf. For deck? Yeah. Yeah. But I mean, he has not seemed the same to me. I don't think it's an injury thing. He hasn't really, to me, looked bad. They just haven't.
needed to him that much. You had a couple, you know, games with... Needed him in Kansas City. Sure. Kansas City's defense has been just so, so good lately. I mean, when you say, when I say I'm not worried, I don't see Dak as a top three guy, but I definitely think he is still... I mean, I would be happy with Dak in the playoffs. Would you be worried and looking to...
Pivot, would you be streaming off of deck? Like, would you go to Tase him? Sure. I'd still stick with Dak. Okay. But I'm a little worried. I am. I'm worried he may disappoint fans. I mean, if you're in the playoffs, you're going to be facing some juggernaut situations, probably some Herbert and we'll see. We'll see what happens. You might not have a streaming option better than DAC. I mean, that's for sure.
Running back disappointments. James Robinson had six carries for four yards. He plays Houston and the Jets the next two weeks, which looked like smash matchups. How healthy he is, I don't know, how healthy mentally Irma Meyer is. I don't know. The matchups say you've got to probably play him. Yes. Unless you're going through the week and we're back to James Robinson is not practicing Wednesday. He's not practicing on Thursday.
We think he's going to play. Then maybe you can have some other break glass situation. But I'm going to play Robinson against the Houston, Texas. Antonio Gibson, 10 for 36. A huge disappointment. They lost the game. Another fumble where he got benched. And I mean, who's to say that didn't cost him the game when it came right down to it? Philadelphia, Dallas, Philadelphia coming up. I.
You know, you think Heineke's okay, but he's been playing bad. It's scary. It is. Because if they come up, if they show up, right? It's like, does Washington show up to the game? If they show up, Gibson's a big part of it. They don't show up. Your floor seems real low. Yeah. And I would say that Philadelphia is a much, much better matchup for Washington than Dallas was. Dallas is in two weeks again. So you might be scared there. But you've got Philadelphia.
two of the next three weeks. So I, I'm not, I'm terrified of Gibson, like, because he could be, he could fumble and just be benched for the game, but I will be starting him and just holding my breath that he holds onto the ball. Are you more scared of Robinson or Gibson? I, I, I am more scared of Gibson because I think a fumble could just end his entire, I don't, I think another one is like,
He's been coming back after small punishments, but at a certain point, it's not a punishment anymore. We can't give the ball to him. We can't do this to our team. We're losing possessions. I'm going to have to differ in my opinion for facing the Eagles defense. Let me give you the fantasy points that they've given up to the running back position. Week 9, 11, week 10, 14. Week 11, 13 points, then 10, then 13.
