Week 17 Studs & Duds + Monday Punday, RB Redemption Tour - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/3

He was heading into free agency. This one really sucks. Michael Gallup is a very good player. Felt like he was going to get the bag this off season, and now it's going to be an uphill climb for him to recover from the ACL tear. Ricky Seals-Jones had just an absolute fluky injury where he was flying out the side of the end zone.

and receives a target, ends up running into a camera, hits the wall, had to get carted off with a neck injury. So hopefully that, hopefully he is okay. Oh, this is news to me. Ian Rappaport is saying that the Packers are likely to place the franchise tag onto Devante Adams. I mean, totally, it makes sense. If I'm running the Packers, I am doing this as well. The question of the offseason will be, of course.

What does Aaron Rogers do? Do they trade him? Doesn't it seem like they're going to just tuck their tail and offer him whatever he wants? They have. I mean, if I'm the Packers, yes. But it just seems like you are not a loud choice in this situation. You should, you should have to go to Aaron Rogers and say, how many years and how many dollars, you let us know, and we will write it and we will sign it. He is, I mean, this is. He'll be the, he's likely to be the MVP again. Back to back.

So you draft, you move up to draft his replacement in the first love. You draft Jordan Love when Aaron Rogers has made it known that he would like some assistance at the wide receiver position or just anywhere, a usable player for the team. You draft Jordan Love, you trade up, and then he responds by giving you for sure one MVP year.

probably the front runner for this year. I mean, it could be brave. It could be a couple guys, but Aaron Rogers is at the top. I mean, I, whoops. Yeah. Whoops. Whoops.

Well, I mean, you can say whoops, but I think that they are one of the odds on favorites for the Super Bowl this year. They clinched the number one seat. Of course. So now they have next week to get healthy. They have then the buy. They have two weeks off before you're going to really see them play meaningful football. And they've got a handful of injured players. You know, they've been awesome. And they've been down their two best defensive players who I would expect two weeks from now you might have bad. Right. And then in news.

From the fantasy footballers HQ, Kyle the Borgogan is here on microphone. Kyle, did you win your championship? I'm dead. The first words ever from the Borgogogan on our podcast are I'm dead. But we are extremely excited to have the Borgorgian in-house. Going to be doing a lot of lever pulling, a lot of button pushing, a lot of,

heavy manual labor. He doesn't know about that part. No, he is unaware of the sandbags that he just has to move for no reason. Yeah, well, it's part of the contract. Yeah, I mean, it's also a great workout. People think like, oh, I want to work for the fantasy footballs. What you don't realize is that every employee every day has 20, 50 pound bags to move. They have to move it to the same spot from where it was, but around the building.

That was today's news and notes presented by Sleeper, the leader in breaking news alerts. Download the sleeper app. Join their breaking alerts channel. It is faster than every other source. It's time to celebrate some studs. This week's fantasy stud muffins. Joseph Burrow, 446 and 4. Whereas I like to call him Joseph enchilada this week. It was no burrow. That was a full enchilada because.

The dude's great and we benched him. Thank you. I'll be here all day. Yeah. And for I cannot fall at the feet more than we already have. I thought Burrow was not in line to do this. And we played Kyla Murray in our championship matchup over Joe Burrow. And Joe Burrow gave us an obscene gesture. He told us we're stupid.

and put up 404 yet again. A lot of the defense simply not covering Jamar Chase. I don't know what kind of Houdini Magic was going on out there for Jamar, but monster game. Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson. 230 passing yards, but four touchdowns, including a good old-fashioned tap pass. I didn't really do anything, but I got a passing touchdown.

But it was, you know, it's good to see him. What was his actual total passing yards? Did I read it right? Two hundred, okay, 236 yards. Okay, so 236 passing yards. Actually finally ran for a while. He hasn't been running. Added 24 rushing yards. You know, this wasn't a, this wasn't a outside of Burrow. Burrow was awesome. But outside of him, this wasn't, I think, one of the most massive quarterback.

blow up performances like there's a lot of guys that were very very good but they weren't out there just completely winning your week outside of borough yes yeah absolutely it was burrow and then a lot of guys were clumped together including the plant man which i mean i real quick on that seattle game that game was insane like there was so many points put up that game was just absolute madness from start to finish tom brady against the jets 403

Didn't feel like it was going to happen. It didn't feel like it happened. Look, I came in this morning and was shocked with where he ranked on the day. He was down all of his weapons. He was down all game. It looked like the Buccaneers were going to lose to the jets. Like with two minutes left. Yes. It was they were going to lose. They were down like 14. Yeah. Towards the end of the game. And then at the end, they were down another wide receiver who retired midgame. Yeah.

Tom Brady is the goat, and he brought him back. And if you had started him, congratulations. Yeah, he is just under 5,000 yards on the season, 40 passing touchdowns in another incredible season for the plant man. Dak Prescott came through, 220 and 3 ran a little bit. Kyler in the exact same game. I mean, this is what we're saying. The quarterbacks were not fantastic this week. Because Kyler Murray is in this list, 260 passing yards.

Two touchdowns. 44 yards on the ground. He was okay. In fact, if you, I mean, if you watch that game, Dak and Kyler against each other, I think both played bad football. Like, neither one impressed me. There were a lot of bad throws. Kyler was okay. I was glad to see a couple more designed runs for him. I don't know if that's just because James Carter was gone. But yeah, I mean, this is currently the quarterback four and five on the week. And they were, they were fine. They were good, but they weren't.

anything special. You want to know who was special for who he is? Who's that? Was Mack Jones? Yes. Mac Jones balled out. He played fantastic. 22 of 30, 220 passing yards, three passing touchdowns. They just, they embarrassed the Jacksonville Jaguars. You mean when they scored 50 points? Yeah, that's what I mean. You know who played terrible? Josh Allen. Josh Allen played.

horrific football. He completed 11 of 26 passes. I understand it was snowing and whatever. Three interceptions. This is the Atlanta Falcons. You complete 11 of 26 passes. You throw three interceptions. But because we play fantasy football and not real life football, he carried the ball 15 times, 81 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns. That turns into a spectacular game. He's the quarterback seven on the week. So he is.

He is in the studs section. Right. 11 for 26, 120 yards and three interceptions, but he's a stud. What a world. Aaron Rogers thankfully did enough as the Packers just shellacked a Vikings team that could get absolutely nothing done. And then my guy, we made it in. We had a bit of a sweat. Oh, yeah. We had a bit of a sweat here for Trey Lance, about 250 passing yards, two touchdowns, ran a little bit.

was one Brandon Iuke holding call away from a rushing for a rushing touchdown, which would have taken him from a good game to just an absolute smash of a week. Currently the quarterback 10. I know a lot of people like midgame around halftime were tweeting like, oh, I, yes, thanks for tree lands. You got to let.

You got to let four, they get four quarters, score points. You got to let players finish the game. And he ended up having a good game. And in fact, if you look at the downfield passing, like the next-gen stats, he was actually very good. And it was, he was not really opened up and allowed to do that in the beginning of the game. And then once they were like,

okay, let's try using your arm. He actually had, you know, a better yards per attempt than San Francisco quarterbacks have had in the last couple of years. So the future looks bright. And again, for those week 18ers, um, it, Garoppolo is, Garapolo is not going to, like, I don't think you're saying he might play, but they said he was going to play this last week too. He's not, Trey Lance is playing this week. Trey Lance is playing in the playoffs. That's how I think it's going to happen. Um, but you should be able to, you should be able to start him.

And I'll say this. Use social media responsibly. If you're going to come at me at halftime and say that a player hasn't done anything, remember there is a second half of the game. Because you can get got back. Yes. I mean, I will never hear anything you said again because you were muted because it was half time. If it's the end of the game, I understand it comes with the job. People could be upset. And if Trey Lance had.

Poo-poot, I would have been really, really. Oh, man, you'd be living in a hole, in a cave right now. Yes, that would have, I don't even want to think about that, but he came through, and it was an okay game. But also, halftime. Don't tweet at halftime, people. Don't victory lap at half time. Tweet your frustration to your stuff. Sure. I mean, like, sure. There's so many times I'm like, come on. Get it your act together.
