No. Let's do it. That would be a Derek Henry situation to monitor right there. Did you guys get into the fact he plays Dallas and Philadelphia? Crabtree and Cooper. Yes. Yeah, we got. Last one, guys. Keenan Allen, trick or treat right now he's outside the top 24 and points per game. He's been tricking you lately. Yeah. Yeah, he has. He's been what, 46th? 30th. Before we get into just the playoff schedule, is Keenan Allen?

Inside the episode
130 passagesdoing what we talk about a lot of times. Players that come out and stink week one and week two that you just project that and you roll with that the rest of the season no matter what they do or vice versa. They come out and they're on fire week one and two and you just keep relying on them even though they really have disappointed. Week one, Keenan Allen was the 19th best wide receiver. Against Denver. Then week two, he was the 13th best wide receiver. Looked great. Since then he's only had one.
top 24 performance weeks three through eight. Yeah, that's rough. So what is Keenan Allen? He's a wide receiver three. It's hard to argue against that. It is. Now, his, his playoff schedule is, in my opinion, better than anybody we've talked about. Washington does not scare me. Kansas City has been great. New York Jets. I mean, and if you're one of those leagues where your playoffs started a week earlier, week 13,
You can add Cleveland into that mix. He's got this juicy schedule. 40th against Oakland when he played them. New England, he was 30th. He had his best games against Denver and Philadelphia. Maybe we're looking for hard matchups for Keenan Allen, not easy ones. Uh-oh. Because he's got some easy ones. Yeah, I don't feel very, I mean, am I going to play him as a flex? Maybe. But I'm not super confident in him. The thing with Keenan Allen is you had to.
You had to try to take his performances in the past and say he's going to be the exact same player in the exact same offense. This offense has changed. It leans heavier on the run as opposed to the kind of peppering of targets he used to receive. You have Mike Williams there now. You have, you know, Travis Benjamin wasn't even there when Keenan Allen had his monster year. This is the new normal. You need to just accept Keenan Allen as the new normal and not project or hope for him to be what he was two and a half years ago.
That's my opinion on Keenan Allen. But what do I know? I live in a cave. Do you agree, Mike? Yeah, I mean, it's hard to disagree with the usage. And I think that him as a, you know, that low end to three, that's where he is right now. Unfortunately. I mean, I don't, I don't completely agree with like, well, you got to bury him because he had.
He's had three fantastic weeks. Now, for fantasy purposes, you want more than three at this point of the season. But I just, I don't, I'm not going to throw Keenan Allen away. But by week, then Jacksonville coming out of the buy on the road against Jacksonville. Next couple weeks, you don't really want Keenan Allen. All right, guys, I got to come up for air. You got anything else you want to talk about? Uh, can we talk? I got some candy to go eat. I was going to just keep talking about how Andy looks in his suit.
