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

Maybe, I mean, maybe. And adult contemporary. Have you heard what Kenny G's been playing lately? It's not the best jazz. This is what it sounds like. Did you get to hear the sad pity city drop as well? No. You didn't? Oh, you missed that part of the show. Yeah, here you go. Oh, wait, no, this is the good one. We're just playing drops now? Yeah, this is fun time. Okay. I don't know where the bad one is. The good one sounds great. I love that.

That is different. I think we're mesmerized that somebody decided to record a version of that song. That's sad. They needed a song that they could play over the commercial where they're trying to raise money for the animal shelters. Yes. This dog will die. We build this city. And you're fine. Find Sarah. Take all of my money. Yeah, that's right. All right. Let's do our starts. Starts of the week.

All right, well, I don't want you guys kick it off. All right, I'll jump in here with my quarterback start of the week. We're getting, look, it's a crazy week for fantasy football with the bye weeks and who is available. And I'm going with Derek Carr taking on the Washington football team. I am doing it. Send in the car. I mean, this is the season, right? That's true. We'll die hard. Good luck. Since week two.

Washington has only two games where they have not given up top 12 quarterback production. Carr was great on Thanksgiving against the Dallas Cowboys. Seems like Deshaun Jackson is integrating and becoming a that one touch man for the Raiders. And Carr's been, he's been okay. He has six top 12 performances. That's as many as Josh Allen and Aaron Rogers. So I think he's, I think he's in play here against Washington.

I'm going to go with Tom Brady. Tom Brady. I would like to play Tom Brady over Derek Cart just for the record. Yes. I realize this is not the most surprising start of the week. He's played Atlanta. Jason brought it up three times. Average 355 passing yards per game. 3.7 passing touchdowns. They have the highest implied point total of the week. I think for context, you hear you're saying like you'll play Tom Brady over.

essentially everybody this week. I'm playing him over. We joked about this yesterday, but I have him and Josh Allen in my dynasty league. I'm playing him over Josh Allen. And you get to face him in League of Record. Thank you. And who has him there? That would be me. Yeah. Better, you get to pre-brag. I'll brag after the game. My start of the week this week is Kirk Cousins talked about it. He's better in the few games without Dalvin Cook.

Alexander Madison is going to get his, but Cousins will be a great quarterback one this week. He's been great against the Lions. Career at Ford Field in Detroit averages 324 passing yards, 2.8 touchdowns per game there. You know, Andy Dalton was a quarterback one last week against the Lions. I rest my case. Exhibit A. My running back start of the week.

One I didn't think I would go with all year, but here we are. Miles Gaskin is the Gassman actually heating up running back nine and back to back weeks. And the Giants, while they're a fine defense, they have been very generous to the running back position, giving up top 12 production to the running back position for four straight weeks and eight of 11 games. They're allowing the second high stars before contact, which is something that Miles Gaskin could really use, and he's their goal line guy.

He should have an opportunity or two to punch in a touchdown. He is the second worst yards per touch in the entire NFL this year. But he has found away recently. If he's on your dynasty team, you need to bail out. bail out. He's getting replaced next year for sure. It does seem likely. I will go with Alexander Madison. Detroit is not ready. He was the top 10 running back in two starts.

filling in for Dalvin this year, 34 opportunities and 32 opportunities. Yes, sir. Even if they let Kirk Cook, it's going to be 20 plus opportunities for Alexander Madison against a vulnerable run defense. Part of the cooking is checking the ball down to Alexander Madison because he did that eight times and seven times. Yep.

Yep, this week I'm going Clyde Edwards-Layer against Denver. Before the buy, he had 14 opportunities, scored a rushing touchdown against Dallas. He finishes the running back 11 on the week. He was eased back, but he could have 18 opportunities this week against Denver. And the Broncos are allowing the fourth highest rush success rate and the eighth highest expected points per rush attempt. This is a game where the chiefs are heavily favored. I have them ranked.

pretty high. I've got him as my running back 15 this week. I think he's a solid play this week against him. And my wide receiver start, I like a bounce back here for Devante Smith from the Philadelphia Eagles. I like to hear that. Look, aside from the Houston blip, the New York Jets are giving up top 12 wide receiver production, or they have in five straight weeks. Jalen Hertz will be better. The pie is smaller here, but Devante Smith,

He's going to be hungry this week. And maybe Hertz learned his lesson. Don't throw the ball to Jalen Rager. Only throw the ball to Mr. Smith, and you'll have success. All right. Chris Goblin. He's my start of the week. He's been a disappointment lately. Two single-digit games in the last three. But the Falcons are the salve. They're allowing the eighth most fancy points to opposing wide receiver. Salvkins?

No, Mike. Okay. All right. All right. Don't interrupt my start of the week with something like that. That was okay. No, they're not. Brooks laughed. Brooks laughed at everything. He's contractually obligated. Six straight games. Chris Godwin has scored a touchdown against the Falcons, dating back to 2018. His averages against them, 98 receiving yards, 1.5 touchdowns at 21 fancy points per game.

back on track for Chris Godwin this week. At wide receiver, I'm going to Chase Claypool. Oh, yeah. My start of the week. I love him on this week. He is about to blow up, and I don't want to have him on my bench when he does. He has eight in-zone targets and only one receiving touchdown this year. If you look at the list of guys with eight receiving in-zone targets, they all have.

5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 touchdowns, and Claypool's sitting there with one. Oh, that's the big bin. He's on the field for 100% of snaps. The last two weeks, nine targets 93 yards, 8 targets, 82 yards. And the Baltimore Ravens are giving up big bomb plays all the time. That's true. 51 plays of 20 plus yards this year. That is the most in the NFL. They're giving up the most passing yards per game of any team. Yeah, so Claypool is in my lineup. And my tight end start of the week, it's Logan Thomas.

The Raiders are giving up the second most points per game to the position. And he is necessary right off of the IR, 81% of the snaps, the almost touchdown there at the end of the game. He's a second half league winning type of a player that was available off your waiver wire. Could still be there. And you just pick them up and put him in, play him to the end of the season. My tight-in start of the week, put the shirt on.

The Muth is Luth. Pat Friar Muth is my start of the week, the number one rookie tight end in fantasy football. Baltimore stinks against the tight end position. Teams know it. Pat Friar Muth, stay in the flames right here. Very necessary. No Eric Ebron. I think he's going to take the most advantage of this defense. I love Pat Friar Mew. I'm going to go with Dallas Goddard. I know he's been inconsistent, and he hasn't been all that great.

lately, but he's on the field 97%, 95% of snaps the last two weeks. And the Jets are a great matchup. They're allowing the second most expected points per pass temp, the second most yards per play in the NFL. Goddard is important to the offense. I think the matchup is good for him. He's on the field. Eventually, it will come through. I would much rather play Dallas Goddard over the middling basement dwelling tight ends this week. Is that it? Yeah, did we do it? We made it.

All right. Jason Moore's Ironclad. Locked and loaded. 100% guaranteed boom boom kicker of the wig. A dumpy mega snapped at my head and death was soon close if not for my friend carried by wind hang gliding with Greg Joseph.

That was a close if Joseph rhyme? It's not the easiest to rhyme with Greg Joseph. It didn't hit like a rhyme. But yet I did it. So I felt it. So Greg Joseph is here to help. That's right. He's hang gliding in. He took me off the snapping megalodon. So I'm headed towards land. I did like the dumpy mega snapped at my head up. Hmm.

These subrimes that you're working in are. They're fantastic. Wonderful. Is this a hang gliding situation like the one particular video we watched where it was the hang gliding went off and the feller was actually not strapped in? And he ended up that he's just, dude, just white knuckled hold on for actual life. That was the craziest video. No, I'm.

He came prepared. Oh, you're locked. He's strapped. Strap me in. Okay. Thank you. You know, because you're not Andy, like you think you can. No, no, no, I know I can't. So I just want to thank Greg Joseph. It's Joseph for that hanging lighter. We want to thank not just Greg Joseph, but pristine auction.com for supporting the show. Pat Friermute signed jersey, $65.
