Starts of the Week + Week 13 Breakdown, Boom Boom Resumes - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/2

So we'll see what happens there. But just a little tease. Yeah, but you can go to the website and check out the consistency metrics for every single player. It does help you formulate the kind of the makeup of your roster. Sure. And you could look at this also going into draft next year because this number is based on the last 17 game sample for the player and say,

You know, split the difference on a couple of different players if you're comprising a team. You may not want all players with B or C consistency. Yeah, Footclan, if you don't utilize the weekly snapshot tool that's on our website, I use it almost every single day. It helps take a look.

At exactly this, a visual representation of a player's consistency. Once you're about three, four weeks into the season, it's a really helpful tool. It used to be called the consistency charts. But if you go to the Foot Clan tab on our website, look at the weekly snapshot tool. You could see every player at a position at a glance visually and their consistency. All right.

News and Notes from Around the League, presented by Sleeper. Pretty significant news for tonight's matchup. Taysam Hill will start the game at quarterback. Alvin Camara is out. Not going to play yet again. That sucks. Mark Ingram is back, and then Cedric Wilson is out, and we don't know how much work Amari Cooper will get, but he did travel. I was optimistic about the Saints for a minute.

Tayson Hill, I'm happy to see him start. I do think he is the better quarterback for this team, opens things up for fantasy a little bit more. However, with no Camara, and the hope was that he would have, you know, that weapon back, and both tackles are also out for this game. Taysam Hill on a hurt foot with no Camara and no starting tackles.

is a scary proposition. This morning, I was on Twitter answering a couple questions that were Tayson Hill related, and I recommended him. And then as the news came out, that basically all these important pieces are gone, I am changing my expectation of what he's going to be able to do. He can obviously run. He could still have a good game, but I don't.

project him to have a great game now. Yeah, I am terrified of any. I think this is a situation where you need to wait and see what happens. You don't have Michael Thomas, who was a key cog in what made Taysom Hill, you know, fantasy relevant. It wasn't just running the football. He doesn't have pass-catching weapons. He doesn't have an outlet in Camara to threaten the defense. There's plenty of reasons to be scared about this start. The Cowboys are a good defense.

and they make plays. And their takeaways are a part of their game. Here's a perfect example from my life. I have Jalen Hertz, who we're not sure if he's going to play this week. And I have Taysam Hill. He was in my lineup. I was just going to start him over Jalen Hertz. Now I am going to drop Taysam Hill for Tua and wait to see if I have Hertz because I don't think you're going to have a great fantasy performance. Yeah, I agree. And then on the other side,

Omari Cooper may be the scariest potential start in this game because you don't know, you know, he's recovering from COVID. He had what I'm assuming are post-COVID lingering symptoms because he was back in the building. You know, a lingering cough. You may have some cardiovascular limitations if you're coming back from symptomatic disease. So is he 100%? Do you want to be caught?

you know, benching him and then he has a nice game. The Saints are a great run defense, so you imagine Dax going to need to do a lot through the air, but the risk reward seems very scary. Amari Cooper or Van Jefferson against Jacksonville? Amari Cooper. Amari Cooper or Elijah Moore against the Philadelphia Eagles. Elijah. The truth is, I don't.

I don't love those questions because the truth is it's just like, the real question is Amari Cooper, healthy or sick, full snaps are, that's the real question. Because Amari Cooper, full snaps is the answer to all those questions. Amari Cooper, half snaps is not the answer to any of the questions. So I think the real thing is just like, is he healthy? And I don't know. That's the truth. I do not know. Sure. I'm trying to find a player where you're like, I.

The risk is worth it. Yes. Like, I am content taking the points from this player over inheriting the risk that Amari Cooper is a halftime player. And the truth is, is I don't want the risk. So I guess I will go with the two other names that you brought up. Okay. Well, then asking for a friend, Amari Cooper or Pat Fryermuth in the flex.

I will take Amari Cooper's potential upside. Hold on one second. Okay. Let me tell my friend. All right. Some other news for you. Adam Schefter reporting Antonio Brown is going to miss at least the next two weeks. You're at the point now with Antonio Brown missing time in which he could have been placed on the three-week IR two different times. He was not placed on the IR. I don't know why. It makes no sense to me, but you're going to be without him.

And so the words of Bruce Ariens kind of saying, oh, we might get him back, we might get him back, have not matched the analysis of the injury, which is like, hey, you can barely put weight on the injury. I mean, that's why they didn't put him on the IR. They just, they misjudged this. They thought they would get him back sooner. Yeah, I guess that's fair. DeAndre Swift could miss multiple weeks, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler with the shoulder injury. That's tough. But if you've got Jamal Williams, you will get a couple of weeks of bell cow.

workload. Yeah, one for sure, probably two. Daryl Henderson did not take part in Wednesday's walkthrough, neither did OBJ, or I guess he was limited. They're both going to be available for Sunday's game, according to Sean McVeigh. All right. So it does make Sonny Michelle a riskier proposition. Kyla Murray and DeAndre Hopkins were both limited in practice Wednesday. They've both been tweeting in lots of ways that say they're back.

If that makes sense. Oh, have they? Yeah, DeAndre Hopkins went out and posted on Instagram. It was like, you can't be back if you never left or, you know, something like that. Sure. All the wide receivers. Yeah. So they are a special bunch. Wide receivers are the Keenan Allen quote. Oh, which we cannot possibly say on this show. Yeah.

It was so outstanding. I mean, you just have to have some kind of mental makeup of a persona of belief in yourself that is on another level. Yeah. Yeah, it does seem to translate often to good wide receiver skills. Yeah. Justin Fields returned to a limited practice. Dalton still received the bulk of the first team snap. So it's, it's tough. We talked a little bit about Darnell Mooney, the matchup with Arizona.

the risks involved, not knowing the quarterback, but it'll probably be Dalton again. Pat Fryermuth did return to practice in full on Wednesday. That's great. Nice. He's still in the concussion protocol, but that means he will probably clear. Cadarius, Tony, and Sterling Shepard did not practice on Wednesday for the Giants, and so they are highly questionable. Devante Parker did return to practice on Wednesday. There's a window here for him to be activated. Will Fuller is going to miss at least

a ninth game with a broken finger? Yeah, I mean, his season is over. What a waste of money. Yeah, he was in a relevant signing for them who will be won and done. It'll be actually pretty interesting to see what his free agent market is at the end of the year. Like in Dynasty, what is Will Fuller? And that really is based on the temperature of GMs around the league. You have like 31 other people that are going to decide, is he a good dynasty asset or not? Because I could see.

after an injury-riddled career, a good season on steroids, and then another injury season, like, are you really going to go out and invest in him in any kind of serious way? I think teams will. And because he did make a great, like in his limited work this year, he looked like he was going to make a difference on that team. And the injury isn't one that's, you know, there's a broken, broken finger. Yeah, and it came out, there was the multiple fractures in the one finger.

Yeah, I don't know. I don't have a gauge on his market right now, but, you know, just a projection. Do you think he'll chase Watson? Maybe. Like, just go take a super cheap deal wherever Watson ends up. That could be Miami. It could. Yeah, they might bring him back on a cheap deal. I will say for Dynasty, like I've, I moved him. Like I traded Will Fuller and I traded a future first and I got Odell back home because I'm trying to.

I need somebody on the field, you know what I mean? So I don't blame anybody for moving on as opposed to, you know, he's got to find a great destination. He's got to stay healthy. It's murky. It's a lot of problems. Melvin Gordon did not practice hip and shoulder. I'm not reading much into that right now because of the fact. He was knocked out of the game with the hip and he came back. And it's Wednesday. Adrian Peterson was signed to the practice squad of the Seattle Seahawks. I tweeted.

This news with the giff of this kid that just keeps pulling Jersey after jersey off. Yes, it was a good one. Because, I mean, Adrian Peterson is just grasping for any place in the NFL right now. Yeah, and Todd Gurley still no job? That is correct. Just what a, the world is a crazy place in the NFL. Todd Gurley two seasons ago was a hot, hot.

dynasty asset. Yes. Consider one of the best players in all of football. Well, three years ago, you would have gotten the world for him. Oh, I did. He's currently 27 years old. Talk about that 30-year-old running back threshold. And how old is Peterson? 48. All right. 36. 30. Oh, my gosh. All right.
