Sometimes fourths. That's right. Story of my life, Mike. Is there incentive for us to have somebody listen to the Meglodon on half speed? Oh. Is that a, uh, is that possible? Could somebody do that? Oh, they can. But that's just, but the NFL games will be over by the time they finish. That's fair. Twitter at the FF Ballers join the foot.com is the fantasy football community. Let's talk about that game last night. Monday night football. Oh, yeah.

Giants 10 only got their one touchdown because of an interception that deflected off of the shoulder of Mike Evans and gave him a 10-yard field. It was a very bizarre play. So, Sequin did return. It wasn't a great fantasy performance for him. Six for 31 through the air, six for 25 on the ground. Not unexpected, though, against the Buccaneers' defense in your first game back. You are looking to brighter days with Seekwon Barkley.

Yeah, I think so. It was certainly nice to see him get six receptions. That's a great baseline for any running back. And so I think as we've talked about this, his schedule opens up. He's got a nice end of the year schedule. He passes by. He's healthy. I do think Sequin, who has obviously been a massive disappointment for fantasy between meh games and injury.

I think he's going to be one of those guys that really helps take teams cross-finish line second half of the year. Tom Brady, 30 for 46, 300 yards, two touchdowns, one pick. It was okay. I mean, it's the way it works with touchdown dependent quarterbacks. You know, Brady can go out there if they run in a couple of touchdowns. Are you talking about Tom Brady, the fellow that ripped off that 10-yard scamper before he went?

baseball cleats into the defender's shin? Did you see what he said when they brought it up? No. And they're like, how did you feel about that 10-yard run? And he goes, 11 yards. Did he really? Oh, incredible. I'm sorry, Mr. Brady. We are looking at the official record and it says 10. That's right. In his mind, it was 11. Cadarius, Tony, with the most Rondale Moore type of line ever. 12 targets turned that into 40 total receiving yards, which was a team high.

Horrible game from our good friend, Kenny Gulliday. Oh. It's not smooth. It's not smooth. I haven't hit that smooth drop in the whole year. Yeah. I mean, it's the routes are, the routes are bad. Didn't he? But the real one game. He did have one big game. Yeah. I think he had a game over 100 yards earlier this season. But I think we should, Daniel Jones sucks. That's right. Like.

Yes, of course. I've been saying this forever. Yes, it's just one of those things where I feel so bad for Giants fans. He had a QBR of 15. I mean, they're going to have to, he's still under contract next year. And it's just like your, your franchise is dead for a year and a half because the guy has flashes. He could throw a good ball. He's got athleticism. He could run. But when you are as inconsistent as Daniel Jones, the franchise has no chance. Yeah.

It's true. They really need a Tim Boyle to turn to at a time like this. Oh, goodness. Two picks for Daniel Jones. Other headlines from the game. Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, they did their thing. Rob Gronkowski returned. Look great. Six for 71. Didn't score. Still had a double-digit fantasy game. He looked excellent. Yeah. It made me think about trading for him. There was one particular play where it was a deeper shot.

Gronk went up and high pointed it, and it was, this, that's like a vintage gronk move right there, which we haven't, as great as he had been, you know, early on in the season, he looked like just a giant redwood out there, lumber, like, and when someone took him down, it was, it was a crash from the heavens, and he looked like he was hurt every single time, but he looked great in this game. Would you rather start Kyle Pitts or Rob Grunkowski?

Cronk. Ooh, that is a great question. I think it would be matchup based, but if I have to pick one the rest of the season and lock them in, yeah, I would go with touchdown upside, better offense. Aside from the injury games, he does, I mean, I guess we. It's only a handful of them. Yeah, well, he's played fewer games than I remember. He's only played three, right? He's three relevant ones.

Well, so week one and two, the tight end one, tight in two. Week three, he did get hurt, but he still, he had four for 55 before leaving about halfway through the game. So, I mean, he was already, he was on his way. Yeah. To another good game and then six for 71. No, he's been good. He's been fantastic. Four and that was a disappointment relative to expectation. Yeah. He lost the touchdown to Ronald Jones, who had just two fewer carries in the game. See, not just lost a touchdown to him, but they.

It looked like they were just rotating drives, which maybe that happened. And somewhere along the line, I had missed that they were doing that. But this was wild that it was not just Ronald Jones spelling four net for a play here. No, they're giving full drives. Maybe they're just preparing for.

the playoff run and making sure that their backup is ready to step in. He did win a Super Bowl doing that last year. Yeah, I mean, I don't think that they needed to really run him into the ground. He did get six receptions, which... And had other, like, big receptions that kept getting called back on penalties. Yeah, so he's fine for fantasy. Where there's smoke, there's fire. Presented by Trigger Grills. All right, two players on today's where there's smoke, there's fire segment. Let's start with my guy.

Darnel Mooney of the Chicago Bears. There he is. And cost you nothing in the draft. And since week four, he's the wide receiver 17 on a team that is difficult to watch offensively. And the last two games he's played against Pittsburgh and Baltimore, the number four overall fantasy wide receiver. Both weeks. Both weeks. You've got to love to see this from Darnel Mooney. The talent was always on display.

In my opinion, on film last year, you've always had quarterback issues. And again, this past week, it was making a lot out of, what, five receptions on 16 targets. That's incredible. You always want a good 31% catch rate. Really going to help pad the stats. It really is crazy how efficient.

He's been once he has the ball. Like 16 targets is incredible, but he had three receptions the week prior and one rushing attempt. And that was when he was the wide receiver four two weeks ago. So the question going forward to me is, will he have enough utilization to allow his talent, which is great, to shine? And I can't imagine that he doesn't.

He seems like he's the number one in the offense. He's overtaken Alan Robinson, who's not even there. Correct. And I'm not sure that it matters who the quarterback is because Justin Fields, Andy Dalton, okay, I mean, they're mediocre. I expect a 50% catch rate. Yeah, Detroit this week on Thanksgiving with Andy Dalton, a quarterback. Yeah, I mean, I love him. Yeah, and currently Alan Robinson was listed as the, you know, he wouldn't have practiced.

for this upcoming game on Thursday. So for the immediate future, this is absolutely fire. I'm very happy to play Mooney against Detroit. After that, you have Arizona in Green Bay, which isn't the greatest back-to-back schedule here for the Bears and for Darnell Mooney. But he's a great player. So as a whole, if I have to pick, I guess I would go with fire because I do expect him to be a top 24 option heading into this week.

Yeah, I agree. 28% target share in the offense. Cam Newton is the second player we'll approach here with where there's smoke, there's fire. He was a quarterback four in his debut starting for the Panthers again in the sequel. And, you know, he had 10-46 on the ground. A rushing touchdown has a rather brutal schedule from weeks 15 on.

Buffalo, Tampa Bay, New Orleans, Tampa Bay. That's the final four games of the year. But it's Miami this week, then the by week, then Atlanta. I guess I'll go smoke. Oh. Yeah, I'll go smoke here just with the way the schedule lines up. The fact that he will, like Cam Newton of old would not give you any duds. This Cam Newton, I think, will. And if you get a dud in either of those good matchups and then you've got those other bad ones on the way forward, I don't, I don't know if I believe it or trust it.

Yeah, this is really tough because of that schedule. I believe that Cam Newton is going to be good for fantasy. You saw 40 rushing yards, a rushing touchdown. And then you've got the weapons. You've got Christian McCaffrey to take any one of those dump-offs to the house or DJ Moore. Even Robbie Anderson has been a little bit rejuvenated with Cam Newton. The schedule's not great, but I think that he is a player that you could have grabbed off of waivers.
