Week 12 Studs & Duds + Monday Punday, Injury Tilt! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 11/29

And they were surrounding him. He looked like he was in a lot of him. Yeah. He got carted off. He was distraught. It was, it sucked, man. It was really unfortunate. DeAndre Swift, day to day with his shoulder sprain. There was more concern initially. But that's good news that he's going to make it back. Darren Waller exited with a knee strain. MRI showed he avoided a major knee injury. No timeline given on his situation. Debo Samuel.

in week 12 after scoring multiple touchdowns. In fact, he may be the number one wide receiver on the week with no receptions. No, he, I thought he got one. I don't know if he had one. I'm going to, I'll double check, double check, but he had like 79 yards rushing or something. Yeah, he got a catch. He did? Yeah. Trace Serman exited with an ankle injury. So Debo, it was a groin injury in the third quarter.

and he looked upset, and he may miss time. C.D. Lamb, expected to play in week 13 after the concussion. Okay, okay. The Cowboys are considering giving Zeke time off to heal. This could be one of those. I don't like this news section. I know, I know, I know. This is terrible. But I'm going to spin this one, like, if you want to spend the McCaffrey positively, he's already got the buy. They're not going to force him back out on the field. You might not be in that situation where it's like, oh, do I play him? Do I not play him? Sure.

And he did try to come back in that game. He just wasn't himself. So there's something to be said about, you know, it could swell up. It could be way worse. But he did try to get back in. Zeke is dealing with a bruised knee. He may need a week off. And your fantasy playoffs aren't next week. So this could be better in the end for Zeke managers than a hobbled Zeke fighting through it. But Zeke said no one has come up and asked me to rest. If they bring it up to me, I've got to do what they think is best for the team. I'll leave it at that. So we'll see.

Miles Sanders played through an ankle injury, suffered in the second half. Dan Arnold, MCL sprain. Oh, the postman. It's the holidays, man. Yeah. You can't miss four to six. Yeah, and Pat Fryermuth even exited. The Invincible Muth. Look, he got head injury. At least he got Luth. He did get Luth again. He's just, I mean, the Muth is probably never not Luth.

Jason has been joking about Muth outperforming Kyle Pitts. Kyle Pitts had a fifth consecutive single digit week. Fryer Mewth scored again. Like if he's healthy, how do you not play him over Kyle Pitts? I, that's another discussion today. Kareem Hunt was held out of the final offensive possession due to a stiff leg. What? What? I didn't see this. I didn't see a stiff leg. Brooks.

What is this? Do we have any experts on to talk about that? That's what was reported. It says a stiff leg, like a rigamortis situation? Huh. Due to stiff leg. That's all we got. Al, Al, are you on the mic? Yes, sir. I need this to be your top priority. I want you to research this and use whatever resources necessary. Spare no expense. I understand it. He had a calf injury and it.

and probably tightened up. Yeah, but I'm picturing the whole leg he's not able to bend. Do we have to go with that verbiage? I don't know why. There's a better way to describe the injury. I cannot not picture a horse on its side with all the legs straight. I'm imagining like he's walking like a pirate. It's a wooden leg. Did he miss time with a wooden leg? Al will figure it out. Oh, right.

Randall Cobb, groin injury, left the game. He was dominating. Yeah, he's playing great. And then Aaron Rogers said his fractured toe felt good for most of the game. He's going to decide to undergo further testing tomorrow. I mean, he outran Jalen Ramsey to score a touchdown in this game. So whatever situation his toe is in with whatever immunization his foot got, he was feeling good.

Right. Logan Thomas expected to be activated for week 12 for Monday night game. Save the tight end position, Logan. It's, it's all up to you. Aye. Yeah, yeah. Because it's terrible. No, it's a mess. That was today's news and notes brought to you by Sleeper, the leader in breaking news alerts. They need a separate alert in Sleeper. You get the when you get breaking news. You need one that's like. Yeah. For the injury news. And then, yeah.

I mean, then you can look with, like, apprehension at your phone. I'm not looking. I'm not looking right now. Before we get into the studs of the duds, want to take today's sponsors. Rothies, say goodbye to the break-in period. You usually have to go through with other shoes. Rothies, soft, flexible material combined with wildly comfortable insoles, make them seriously one of the most wearable shoes you can own.

So you never have to worry about dirtying them up. I have a pair of Rothies. I got the driving loafers. They're sharp, man. I got the, they're like a green olive. And they're not joking. They're comfortable. It's a nice house shoe.

I imagine you can drive very well. And they're called driving. I've driven on them. Yeah. Did you feel extra special? Yeah. I mean, it was a little bit better going out for fast food in those driving loafers.

They're good shoes, and I do. I love the Rothes. They're comfortable. They're clean. They're fashionable.

Do you write something for it? Liquid death, if you don't know what it is, is my favorite sponsor of all time. It's a water brand. And if you've seen these, I mean, the first time I saw a liquid death can was at a Fourth of July party. Al Borland was walking around in it.

I thought it was a tall boy, like a can of new beer. I was like, what is that? Yeah. It's Mountain Spring Water. And he said, it's liquid death. He's like, I'm murdering my thirst right now. And he murdered it. He murdered his thirst in broad daylight. Yeah. Which should be illegal, but it's not. Because it's your thirst. Because it's your thirst. And, yeah, you've got, you got to brutally murder it with liquid death.

My son, I told you this before. I got him to take one of the cans to school as a social experiment. Right. Because he's so cool that he's got a liquid death 16 ounce can of water. He came home. He had leather pants. Oh, man. Spikes. That's right. A mohawk. That's right. You can get free shipping on all water and merch at liquiddeath.com slash footballers. That's the favorite URL I've ever had. LiquidDeath.com slash footballers or grab some.

It's at Whole Food, Sprouts, and 7-Eleven, so you can check it out there as well. They got a sparkling one. They do have... And still, it's good stuff. I like the sparkling more, even more than the natural spring water, but fully recyclable. They don't just murder thirst. They murder pollution. That's right. I don't know if you knew that. I mean, on that. Double murder is there. I mean, that's what you got to do. Liquid death. This week's fantasy stud muffins. Why don't I have a liquid death right now on the table?

Might be too extreme. Too extreme. Jay Gris drink it. And he drinks the can as well. He drinks the can. I'm with you, man. The tongue is not cooperating with the mind right now. The Foot Clan receives the full picture, the full emotional picture of us when we host the show. And it's been a wild one. I want to go back. Take me back to before the weekend.

Josh Allen. Stud. Big week. Four touchdown passes. Big half. Quarterback won in fantasy football on the year. Josh Allen was the only thing bringing me hope as I watched the Cleveland Browns and Ravens play last night. Ooh, he was excellent. Because Josh Allen was in fact not excellent for the majority of the first half.

then turned it on and ends up with a monster game over the second half. He ended up 23 for 28 for 260 and 4. I had to make that Brady Allen decision, and I was getting chided on the old social media for my Allen choice before he finally did wake up. Aaron Rogers 307 and 2 scored a rushing touchdown, quarterback 7 on the year. With nine toes.

That's right. Just to brag about it. Dak, 32 for 47. 47 passing attempts, 375 and 2. Bounceback week, despite no lamb, no Cooper. Plays on Thursday night, may have no Zeke in that one. Wait, they gave them back-to-back Thursday? And the Saints. Because of the Thanksgiving, yeah. That's rude. Matthew Stafford, 21 for 38, 302, and 3.

To be honest, this was one of those games where that was more a product of the game script. And the fact that they were constantly coming back in this one, but gets Jacksonville next week. Did, you know, build a connection a little bit with O'Dell Beckham in this game, Van Jefferson, Cooper Cup. I think Beckham and Cup had the same amount of targets in this one, 10 targets each. Interesting. The Cup was very quiet from most of the game. Yep. Leonard Fournette. Holy crap.

There was a point in the morning when we were watching the game, and Ronald Jones had come in, and Mike goes, this is not good. Yeah, because last week, the same thing, where Ronald Jones was getting drives, and it felt like are they turning this into a full-time share to get ready for the playoffs? No. Let me blow your mind. Okay. Leonard Four net, by the way, 17 for 100, three touchdowns on the ground, seven for 31 and one receiving touchdown, four on the week. On the year.

Leonard Fournette, Austin Echler, 4.5 yards of carry. Leonard Fornett, Austin Echler, 51 receptions. Leonard Fornett, Austin Echler, seven rushing touchdowns. What? So Leonard Fornett is now the RB6 on the year. Crazyness. Joe Mixin, 28 for 165 and 2 looked great on every snap. His fantasy finishes over the last six games for 22, 2, 4, 3, 2. I mean, he's the running back 2 since week 6.

If you want to know what I hoped for when he was a my guy last year. This? Before Burrow went out. Right. Which was problematic to the running game. This is the Joe Mixin that we have the potential of seeing. When you get 28 carries, when your offense dominates the way they did. They have, they have totally transitioned into a run first team over the last couple weeks. Yeah, Burroughs.

passing totals, yardage totals are low. I mean, game scripts again for this one, the Bengals got off to a quick lead. Quick turnover. And then it turned into a, and then they had the lead. Then there was a pick six. And it was, let's just run this game out. I didn't even mention Big Ben when we were talking about things that made the weekend depressing. Well, because you can only take so much. I know. Other than Jonathan Taylor is mixing the running back you'd want rest of season? I mean, seems that way. It's.

It's so bizarre that I still don't think of him that way, and that's not fair. And he gets the Chargers this in week 13. And then at home against San Francisco, two home games in a row. So in the past six weeks, he has been in the top four in five of them. Yeah. That's outrageously good. Yeah, and super consistent, which is what you won as well. Impressive.

I don't know if you saw the breaking news this morning, by the way, Mike McCarthy and eight other positive tests in Dallas for COVID. So could have some implications. Thursday game. Yeah. I'm sure people are going to be missing, at least in the coaching staff, but we don't know about players. And they were already dealing with. Wasn't Amari? Wasn't he a positive case? Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I think he was. The most, we got an update, guys. We got a stiff leg update. Cream Hunt's leg was tight.

which is why he wasn't on the feet. Oh, that's usually good. So the reporter decided to translate leg was tight into stiff lake. I see with some verbal gymnastics there. Sure. We've been. Got to get those clicks. We've done it. Mike, Cordero Patterson, 16 for 108. This was the first 100-yard rusher for the Falcons in the last 22 games. Two touchdowns on the ground.
