Wk 16 Starts | Sits

King: All right, here we are. Back at it again. Fantasy island, fantasy football. Critical time. Guys. It is second week of the playoffs. If you've made it that far, you know, again, guys, remember, you just gotta stay on top of it. You got a couple weeks left. If you're in it, get in it to win it. Right? Are you guys in, so the playoffs still, I think Babo beat T in one of our leagues, didn't he?

Sweet T: Yeah, he crushed me by like 30.

King: weren't you the number one seed in that league?

Sweet T: I was the fourth seed

King: That was in my league. Then he got crushed. Did you guys see how I lost that league? I was traveling this week, dude. And I made the switch. I guess it didn't take, but I switched to, uh, for Alan. It didn't take I, by the time I looked at it, the game was going and yeah, I lost by 19 points.

Sweet T: is that what we're calling you on a prison bus Is, uh, you're traveling.

King: It's, oh, oh dude. Do you remember 48 hours? That bus on 48 hours or whatever it was? Yeah. Anyway.

Sweet T: that was an awesome.

King: Yeah. But are you guys ready to get into some starts and sits? Obviously it's critical time guys, so we're trying to get critical information out to our listeners to help 'em get steer em to that fantasy final next week.

It's only a couple weeks left. Couple weeks of dealing with these guys, and then we're gonna go into that fucking playoffs, okay, before we get started, guys, I got a question. This is just a football question. Is there gonna be a team in the playoffs under 500?

Bombo: Yes, the

King: That's horrible. I think there is too. T what do you think? Yeah,

Sweet T: Yeah, No, I,

agree with Bombo.

King: see. That's where I think the fucking divisions need to get outta there. Keep 'em if you want like paper divisions, but in the playoffs, they're just the best teams. You know what I mean? But I don't even know if they would have enough teams.

to fill the playoffs with one that isn't 500. I don't know. And I'm just saying it's a weird year. A lot of teams are down. Teams that we didn't expect to be down like this are down, you know, it's, I don't know, Raiders, look at what happened to them. Look at Denver. But I heard a couple guys giving, uh, Russell Wilson a wash for this year just cuz everybody got hurt, but, you know, and a new coach, all that shit.

But we're getting there to starts and sits of the. we can start and sit. A lot of guys Bombo, we're gonna throw it off to you first. You have the responsibility of steering this bus down the right road, bro, because you know what? We're gonna be following you, and this is such a critical week for our listeners.

out Bombo. Who's your week 16?

Bombo: Oh, just like you were saying, king, right now, a lot of teams are not doing what we expected him to do. Either that's underperforming and we have some teams that are probably overperforming. One of those underperforming teams all year has been the Green Bay Packers, and it starts at the quarterback position.

But guess what? They got some playoff life, they got a light at the end of the tunnel. They could possibly win out. Some people could lose, they can sneak in. And I mean, as much shit as we give Aaron Rodgers on this. He has the arm talent, and when his offense and his receivers are clicking and they're on the same page as him, he can go toe to toe with any quarterback in the league.

When it comes to touchdown passes, and he's going against a Miami team that gives up a ton of yards in the air and gives up a ton of touchdowns to wide receivers. Uh, Miami gives up 22 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, and those are quarterbacks like Mack Jones, you know, not, there's not world.

They're not playing world beaters every week. Sometimes you have to go with what's reliable. Aaron Rogers at a time when his team needs him. He may be someone that can lead your team to a much needed win. There's some reasons why you might wanna start him.

They have no AJ Dylan at the time of us recording this right now, they're gonna have to rely on Aaron Jones. And if we know Aaron Rods and the Packers, he's not gonna allow anybody else to touch the ball as far as a running back.

They're not gonna bring a guy up off the practice field and he's gonna be a one hit wonder. Nothing like that. If they're gonna run it, they're gonna run it with Jones, otherwise they're gonna get everybody else involved in the passing game. He finally has a healthy receiving core.

Romeo Dobbs came back in week 15 and immediately started getting targets and started producing Christian Watson. He joked around with quits and wa, Christian Watson and kind of like half-assed, threw him under the bus after the game. I don't know if you guys caught that, when he pretty much said if he wants to catch shut downs, he has to run the right route.

Christian Watson is still the most athletic guy they have on that off offense. As far as speed, height, size, everything. So they're gonna have to get him more involved in the offense going forward. And he's a stud in the making.

He has old, reliable Alan Lazard for all of those possession downs. And then Randall Cobb is good for a good three or four catches a game in critical situ. I think, uh, Aaron Rods against Miami will probably finish in the top 10. And if you had someone go down like Hyler Murray or you got a really bad matchup, I mean, are we, if you're on the fence rather like you have Justin Fields against Buffalo or something like that, I think Aaron Rods has the better matchup.

You might wanna put 'em in there over Brady. So you have options. And I think it's time to, if he's on your waiver wire, he shouldn't be. If he's on your bench, this baby the only time where you can probably rely on him. What do you guys think?

Sweet T: Yeah, no, that's pretty good. Uh, call outs right there. I mean, no, AJ Dylan there, Bombo, I mean, that's huge right there. And the fact that that receiving. Poor. I mean, it's pretty sick right now. You got Dobbs and Watson. Those are two very talented rookies over there. I i, I just, for me it's still Aaron Rodgers.

It's still AA Ron. I don't trust him this season. I mean, the guy's head is not screwed on. Right. If you will. Um, never really has been, but it's kind of gotten even more loose this year and that team has really struggled. So I don. Um, that's still kind of just, it's tough for me as a Bears fan, but just even as a fantasy owner, uh, just seeing what he's done this year.

But that's gonna be a shootout. So I really think that if any week that you're, um, must start, it's gonna be this week. So, yeah, I like that Bumbo.

King: I think the key is that it's, you know, it's who you're playing and what you're gonna have to put up with. Now again, I don't think there's going to be any weather down there, but if there's rain, it'll definitely slow down the scoring. But I mean, the only way for Rogers to keep up really, cuz their defense hasn't been playing that.

So if the dolphins come out and they do what they do, and they even did it against Buffalo, they scored in the fucking snow. They don't give a shit. They scored in 10 degrees. Everyone's saying, these guys can't play. Really? They took him to the fucking last second man. You know what I mean? So Miami's legit. So Darren Rogers know he's, he's gonna have to carry that team. And Babo was right. I think the biggest thing was AJ Dylan, man. Aj Dylan not being there, and that horse just plugging up in. You know, where you could just get that four or five yards and fucking, this guy just leans forward. If he's not gonna play, and he's not a hundred percent, I don't think they have a chance because it's just gonna be Aaron Rogers having to air it out.

And then they're just gonna blitz him. They're gonna do other things to him, and it's gonna be hard. He needs that play action. He needs that kind of action off of his passes. So I think it's a, it's a good week for him because I think at the, at probably by the second half, there's got to be slinging. is gonna have 300 plus, he's gonna have two or three touchdowns just to try to keep up and he might not even be able to keep up with those numbers.

So I mean, if he can do more than that and get a couple long Christian watching touchdowns that, and that's what pads these guys stats and they get those big long ones. You know, if that he, he can throw a little five yard fucking crosser and Christian Watson runs for 85 or something. Fuck yeah. 400. Here we come. You know what I mean? I see that. It's a great call, Bobo. I think that's a, that's a good, that's a good start. All right. T who's your week 16? Start.

Sweet T: All right guys, so my week 16 start is Isaiah. Go Now, this guy's taking over that backfill and he is, I mean, he's just really running hard. The opportunities for Pacheco is really solid, especially against his matchup against Seattle. Seattle is very, very weak against the run, and they are the second weakest team in fantasy as far as giving.

Run points. So I really like this matchup. He's a solid RB two for this week. He's averaging over five yards per carry. He's getting, you know, double digit carries every single week. I really like this guy. He runs really hard. My only thing about him for fantasy owners is he's very limited in the passing game.

We already know that it doesn't go to him that often, so that kind of lowers his fantasy ceiling. but still R B two type of situation. The guy's a stud. He runs hard and he's getting some really solid fantasy points, especially if you're in a PPR type of league. So I really like Isaiah Pacheco. Week 16 Must start.

Bombo: Pacheco and week 15 had a crucial fumble against the Texans, and they immediately pulled him. They, uh, dusted off Ronald Jones out of a shoebox and threw him out there for a couple carries. Then they came halftime. And Andy Reid went to him for five straight touches coming outta halftime, and he put up 58 yards on those touches, including two catches.

And that was sending a statement to the Texans, to the Chiefs, and to Pacheco that he will get starters touches. Now, McKinnon has been balling for them lately, right? But he's been at a real efficient per touch basis and where some people may think, Hey, McKinnon might be the choice here.

McKinnon's kind of doing what we saw c e h doing earlier in the year, and that's just taking advantage of Mahomes Ma like having a defense on their heels for eight to nine seconds and then just tossing it to the open guy. A lot of what I saw from McKennon in week 15, it looked like they forgot this guy was even on the field.

I think there was just multiple eyes on on Mahomes and Kelsey and they were just leaving him open. I know that the Seahawks aren't the best defense, but they're well coached in all facets of the game, and I think there's enough film on McKenna now that people will be eyeballing him. So if there was a toss up between which running back in that backfield will have the better fantasy game, I think I'd go towards Pacheco too

we know this offense and we know that Pacheco three touchdown game where he falls in the end zone twice and one is just a long one. We know that that's coming and there's only a few games left for that to happen. And just statistically and what we know about football, we know that that game's coming.

I

think that you,

King: I, think the bigger thing too, and I'm gonna ask you this question real quick, Babo, I, I think in my eyes, I've seen sort of in the last couple weeks, they're almost getting him ready for the playoffs.

Bombo: Mm-hmm.

King: You know what I mean? Just by the way, they're. , you know what I mean? And, and I think he, he, he still gets, looks a little bit in the passing game, but I think, and it's not to me, I don't see their offense and, and you chime in after this Babo or nt, you guys tell me what you think.

But I think their offense is, it's almost like what kind of offense they're in. What's going on in the game, the flow of the game. If they're in a passing type of situation, McKinnon's in there and he'll run the ball, he'll catch the ball, whatever. If they're in a game where they're ahead and they're really controlling the ball and they just wanna move the ball down the field and be, you know, do whatever they want to do, be methodical or take that long strike, it's usually Pacheco and they're usually leading with a couple runs, and Pacheco runs hard.

This fucker he's just young, he doesn't want to go down. So he is gonna take those extra hits and those extra punches on the ball and he is gonna lose one. But he's just gotta protect that. and don't you guys think though, at this point he'll be the guy to start next year, but Clyde Edwards is gonna get probably as many touches as him. I mean, cuz I, I don't see him getting cut right.

Bombo: I don't think he'll get cut, but I do think that his leash got a little bit shorter and I think that, uh, they may, like you said on a, on a previous show, king, Hey, go ahead and take your time with that healing. You know, go, go ahead and uh, you know, go see our specialist. Do that cuz I think it's buying them some time.

Cuz they have talent in the backfield. Remember they got Melvin Gordon back there too on the practice squad. So they're, they're, they. They got some heads back there and, and I know that last week we were talking about McKinnon, uh, McKinnon's, not the, the youngest horse in the stable. I think using this committee type approach is getting the most out of who they have and what those running backs can provide.

But I think next year he'll have games. Rodriguez 20 caries a game.

King: Yeah, see that And that's what I was gonna, and that's exactly a, the great way to answer cuz I didn't know if he can get 20 Carries a game. So I think he's gonna get anywhere from 12 to 15. and maybe two or three looks in the passing game. McCannon will get a lot more in the passing game, you know? And Clyde Edwards will get about the same numbers as him.

What do you think? T?

Sweet T: Yeah, he's averaging around 14, carries. And, but if you go, kind of go back to that Rams game in week 12, he had 22 carries. So he can definitely be that workhorse, type

King: He can, no, no, no. All these guys. But it's like they don't do that there, and Babo nailed it. It's more a committee and they're gonna keep feeding different guys, and that's what sort of sucks when you got a guy with that kind of talent who, if he was getting the ball like a Damien Pierce 25 times a game, he'd put up the same kind of numbers, if not better. You know? So, I mean, just another one. I mean, great, great start tea. You know, I just think that. You know, he's been trending up all year too and he's definitely the future of that, that team at running back. So I'm gonna go ahead and get started again now with my week 16 start. And this is a little bit different guys, and I'm just throwing this out here and it's gonna be a little bit of a two-tiered approach cuz obviously I think there's guys out there who are sort of thinking Jalen Hertz is gonna play this week. It popped up after the game that Jaylen Hurtz suffered a sprained shoulder. He got whacked a couple times in the Chicago. and now he's, he's not a game time decision, but they say they'll know by Friday, Thursday, or Friday if he's gonna be able to be, you know, good enough to play. The reality is this guys, they have a cushion.

They have a big cushion. Even though they're playing Dallas, they would love to beat 'em with Gardner Min Shoe because if that happens and they play 'em in the playoffs with Jalen, Psychologically Dallas would already be, they would lose. So I think that's a great approach for them. And why risk your guy when you're gonna get the number one seat in the nfc?

Give him a fucking week off, guys. They're gonna give him a week off. And Gardner Mink is service. and you know it T as well as I do Bombo, you know it, this motherfucker's been doing jumping jacks in his fucking athletic supporter the last couple weeks, fucking doing his stretches with nothing on, but his fucking jock.

You know what I mean? Getting so pumped up and he's like these heiney guys. He's like these guys who can have one or two big games, and it's like the first game of the season for him. He's getting first team reps. This. He is pumped dog. This dude is jacked. He's gonna come out slinging to AJ Brown, sling into Devonte Smith, to fucking whoever else wants to catch that fucking ball. And they're gonna run the fucking ball too. And these guys are gonna beat Dallas and Gardner Men's shoe's gonna throw for at least two 60 and two touch. And if you're hurting at quarterback and you had Lamar and you're scrambling and Dak just sucking balls for you and everybody else is sucking balls, Hey, pick up my boy.

Gardener. Mink. Start em. Have some nuts. Go out there, drop em. You're nuts. Not him, but pick him up. And stardom. Fantasy playoff starter. Gardner Minu. We'll see how this works out next week. What do you think?

Bombo: King, I'm right there with you. So if you were to tell a, uh, Joe Mixon owner, if Mixon was to go down, this past week, and he has Samage p Ryan on his bench. What should he place? Samage p Ryan. If mixing goes down in this next, in this upcoming playoff match, you could probably slide him in and because that's the handcuff and he's a high value handcuff, you'd slide him in and have no doubts.

I mean, unless you're deep, but that's why you have him to put him in. In a crucial situation. Gardner Minsu would start for a lot of teams in the nfl. Right now, he is a guns singer and like you mentioned, he's throw into Devonte. AJ Brown, a refresh off the IR Dallas Goddard, uh, miles Sanders. And he's, he's got confidence and it's a big game.

And I mean, if you're minsu, you could see the headlines now, right? This, game could possibly get Minsu paid in a starting job next year if he beats the Cowboys in a big division game and he utilizes his weapons and he doesn't turn the ball over. This could be a, a really big game and, and fantasy.

Yeah. You wanna play the numbers, you wanna play the analytics, you wanna play studs, but opportunity and, and just having that gut feeling should play a part in how you're setting your, your lineups as well. And right now, mince you has a huge opportunity on the, probably the number one offense in the NFL right now in a rivalry game.

Gardner Minch used.

King: He's jacked. I'm telling you. What do you think t.

Sweet T: Yeah, I like that call. Um, I'm just a little bit more cautious than you guys are about Min Shoe. I know he is gonna come out all pumped up. I just hope he doesn't have kind of a letdown, you know, where these guys come in too hyped up and they're overthrowing guys and things like that. I mean, that's definitely something that can happen too, because you know the energy level's gonna be there when he comes in.

He's one of those types of guys that he just has high. Like you were saying, king probably doing jumping jacks to Fong somewhere in his basement or something. But

King: Don't you have that video?

Sweet T: high. Excuse me.

King: Don't you have that video? Have we been doing the Jovi, Jackson and Song?

Sweet T: I play it daily, but

King: Yeah, that's your workout. You know the what? Like your motivational for your workout, right? The

Sweet T: how I start every morning. But

King: That's what I.

Sweet T: kind of to what you guys were saying, if Minsu balls out and has a great game, and maybe that game is setting him up for his next role. I mean, I could see him going to a team like the Colts. I mean, all they do is recycle saints. All they do is recycle guys.

So, I mean, I know that they should probably be drafting, but I think Minsu could end up at one of those. a little bit of a stop gap, who knows? But I like that king that's putting your coconuts out there this week. But I like it.

King: Do you know? That's what I'm built on, guys. I told you that from week one. Dude, I'm gonna throw it out there. Hey. And sometimes I'm gonna get fucking knocked the fuck out, dude. And these guys are gonna blow up or not blow up. Whatever it is I call 'em out to do, you know? But hey, that's what we do here.

Bombo: Hey King. King one. One bonus must start is. King Henry versus the Texans. Just go to YouTube, put King Henry versus the Texans, and look up all the, uh, highlights that come up from different games. And that should tell you why you should start 'em.

King: Okay, let me ask a question. Babo. If someone's in the playoffs and they have King Henry, you think they're thinking about sitting them?

Bombo: No, but I, I think there's, I think there's some guys out there that overthink it.

King: mean, I'm just, I mean, I'm just saying Doc, even if that dude is doing shitty, I'd fucking still play him every week. You know what I mean? Just

Sweet T: but there are,

Bombo: There

Sweet T: there are guys out

King: 300 yards in a game.

Right.

Bombo: even even worse, the guy that that thought the same thing was like, I'm throwing Jonathan Taylor out there no matter what, and then was immediately eliminated at the end of the first quarter. So he's somebody like that

King: No, but yeah, you, but that part is commitment and, and your investment. He's your number one

Bombo: Start your studs.

King: Yeah. You still gotta give it a shot. You're already in the hole that deep. You know? It's like we said, right? You bought the car, dude, just fucking roll

Bombo: ride it out.

King: Yeah, just roll it out there for the year. Dude.

The tillage fucking hits the ir. But hey, with that rolling into it, we're just gonna coconut it some more. Man, I'm gonna start this shit off with my must sit week 16. So this is like, this was the logic guys with my must start. Cuz my must sits gonna be Miles Sanders. I don't think Dallas is gonna let Philly run the ball. I think that they're gonna shut down the run game and force my boy Gardner Minu to win the. and guess what? He's gonna win the game. So I think they're gonna do every effort they can to really load up that box. Ain't no Vander rich fucking busted his neck again, last week, dude, this guy just can't stay healthy.

He's a good linebacker, really good, but he's just, he's got neck issues, bosworth, all these guys with those long necks, dude, they just can't keep it going, you know? But I, I still think they have enough and their defensive line is ridiculous. I think their defensive secondary feels the gaps and their safeties.

And they tackle well. So I, I just don't see Miles Sanders really having anything. And I think why not just think that way? Especially if Jalen Hirst isn't playing. So that's why I think they're underestimating Gardner Men's shoe, but I think at that point they're just gonna shut down. Miles Sanders. Miles Sanders.

My must sit week 16. What do you think guys?

Bombo: I can definitely get behind that logic. The cowboys. It's kind of pick your poison, I think because we see so much cowboys footage and so much cowboys content, either online or on tv. All the talking heads that we start to think that cowboys are on the schedule, some sort of defensive juggernaut, and you should not start your guys against them.

The reality with the cowboys is sometimes they're really good against the run. Sometimes they're really good against the past, but the past rush is really their thing and. You would be surprised at how much, how much you could torch the Cowboys, whether it be through the air, whether it be on the ground.

They're real streaky when it comes to defense. So from what you were saying, king, if the Cowboys make an effort to stop the run, They can get exposed in the passing game. There's just too many weapons on, on offense for the Eagles, uh, through the air. And I think that's gonna be the Cowboys biting themselves in the ass and, and trying to stop that run.

And I think they will do a good job of stopping the run. But when it comes down to it, let's go back to the garden Minsu argument. Too many weapons. They can air it out. And if they try to take away Minsu for some reason, I think then Miles Sanders can get off a little bit. But I think that the Eagles aren't gonna run the risk of giving him the ball 30 times a game anyway, especially against Okay.

Defense. So, uh, yeah, I say Bench Mile Sanders as well.

King: T, what do you think?

Sweet T: I am gonna go a little bit of the opposite way from you guys. Uh, I'm not sold on this Cowboys defense and their run defense has been very suss over the last couple weeks. So to be honest with you, I kind of like the fact that mince you coming in. Yes, I love that. but I also think that they're gonna try to kind of help him not do too much.

So they're gonna hand the ball off a lot. And I think that that's gonna go to Sanders. And I think Sanders is gonna get elevated lifting his carries, and I just see him, he's gonna at least break out for a couple of big runs, I think so. I don't know. I mean, you're putting your coconuts out there on that one, and I love it.

But I'm going to go the opposite direction from you guys on that.

King: Yeah, I see. I just don't see him playing the straight up defense against Gardner Minu. They're gonna load the box, they're gonna bring safeties down. They're gonna bring everything down and make him throw over. I mean, that's basically it. They got corners, they got digs or whatever over there leads the world in the interceptions.

They got whatever else they're gonna put those guys on islands and they're gonna make Gardner men shoe beat em, you know? But I'm just saying that in your right, that's the logical football 1 0 1 seventh grade flag football thing to think. But you know, when you know guys like me and Babo were thinking in that calculus kind of, you know, accelerated program, situ. we get. T week 16, sit. Who is your week 16 Sit.

Sweet T: My week 16. Sit your ass on the bench cuz you haven't been doing shit for me. Is Greg Dolche now? We were high on him, like, uh, was it like starting week seven, week eight? You know, when he came in in week nine, he had a tidy right away. But I mean, really in the last five weeks he really hasn't done shit in ppr.

I mean, it's been pathetic. He had one big game against Baltimore in week 13. After that, the last two games have been nothing. And then week 15 against Arizona, 11 yards. That is it. That's pathetic. And the fact that Jerry Judy's back into the lineup, I think, has been playing a big part of that because Jerry Judy's been getting the bulk of those looks and the throws.

So I don't see that happening. Plus, it's a tough matchup against the Rams defense, and no matter what their record says, Ram's defense still comes out to play and they play. I'm just saying. So for me, Greg Dridge, sit your fucking ass on that bench.

King: Wow. Little fired up t. Fucking,

Sweet T: Well, I got him in my

King: do to you?

Sweet T: He fucking shit the bed for my team.

King: Wow, man. I mean, I, yeah, I mean, brussel Wilson. That's all I gotta say. Bombo, what do you think?

Bombo: I think that if you were fortunate enough to get into the playoffs and you're. fighting right now, and you were doing it by streaming tight ends. You probably got a couple wins out of Dul if you were able to pick him off the waiver wire, dump him, pick up another guy, and I think you can do a lot better right now.

What do you guys think? Would you guys put, take some hill right now in your tight end position over Greg Dulse if that was your streaming options?

King: I've been playing Taso Hill. In three leagues since week six, or week one of 'em, like week three. Cuz I had, I drafted him late, you know, as one of those things. Just because dude, he has such an upside every week and sometimes he scores nothing. But there was a week he scored like 40 some points or something, man.

that made up for a lot of those nothings, you know what I mean? So I, big Taum Hill, the way they got that thing fired up as a tight end. I like that. That's the loophole right there in fantasy. You know, it really is, man.

Bombo: there's a few guys I would probably stream over Greg Dosage. Uh, right now. I think that the future's bright for him. I think that in the future, he is gonna be a matchup problem. It's just that they're just not clicking on all cylinders right now. They're almost looking to fold it in.

And the beneficiary of this bad offense that we've seen has been Jerry Judy, and I think the Broncos are totally okay with Jerry Judy just catching all these balls and being the lone offensive star on this team. No, let me backtrack on that. Laus Murray outta nowhere. He should have been on. What the fuck?

Cause I think Aous Laus Murray went off for like 140 yards rushing, uh, this past week. So shout out to Laus Murray, but I don't think there's, this offense is powerful enough to support

multiple fantasy. Yeah, they can't support multiple fantasy, uh, mouths to feed. So yeah, I, if Greg dosage does go off, that means nobody else went off.

And I just don't see that.

King: I agree. I agree, man. And just the team is, is not doing well as a whole. Totally. And everyone's pointing fingers everywhere else. And big guys went down, my boy Javonte went down. I'm sort of glad he did. He didn't have to suffer through this year, you know, cuz he would've been fucking caught up in the dog shit.

Some. . He would've had some big games though. I know he would've, but All right, Bombo, who's your must? Hit your ass on the bench. Don't even come out to play cuz you're grounded. Week 16.

Bombo: All right, king, let's take it to Arizona. And I'm actually gonna take it a step further and not even go as far as he needs to be sitting. Like you shouldn't be option, like the option of him starting shouldn't even be there. I think it might be time. You can actually flat out cut this guy and either look for a quality backup for a player that you have on your team, uh, or you know, a handcuff, backup quarterback, anything like that.

And that's Hollywood Brown. Hollywood Brown versus Tampa Bay is not a good matchup. I'm not saying that Tampa Bay are world beaters when it comes to their secondary. There's just too many things going on for the Cardinals right now that point downwards for Hollywood Brown.

So he was brought into catch passes from Kyler Murray. He wasn't brought into catch passes from Colton McCoy and Trace McSorley. So, With that offensive line and the deficiencies in those backup quarterbacks, he just doesn't have enough time to, to run the routes that you want him to run, to get you high quality fantasy points.

He's not gonna be taking the top off. He could probably get open, but they're not gonna get the ball to him. Plus there's a target monster on the other side of him. Every play and that's D hop. D hop is gonna get his targets, he's gonna get his catches. De hop's gonna be in the game in garbage time.

De hop's gonna pretty much be 50% of the offense. The other 50% of the offense is gonna be James Connor, who's looked really good lately running the ball and trying to control the clock to keep it away from the other team because they've had some really bad matchups. And that's what they're gonna probably do in this game against Tampa Bay, is try to control the clock, try to get some easy first downs on offense through.

because right now the offense, just the offensive line is not giving Colt McCoy and Trace McSorley enough time to get these passes off. And Colt McCoy might even play. So they might be going in there with a back, a backup to the backup and somebody that they have to sign off to practice Squadron. And you just can't rely on anybody that's not D Hop to be catching passes in this offense.

So don't start. You're better off cutting him cuz let's Hollywood. It is. Hollywood Brown had a washed year. This is, just throw this out. We'll reevaluate later. Because right now everybody on that team is pretty much auditioning for their jobs.

He's probably one of the ones that is safe. Him de Hop Kyler are all safe. Everybody else is auditioning. Don't be surprised if they start to tank and he doesn't even get as many snaps as he usually gets. So sit your ass on the bench, get your ass off the team, Hollywood Brown.

King: Yeah, I mean, Hollywood Brown's a streaky guy anyway, to me. You know, he never is a consistent guy and he is really a tough guy to play, and I think the only reason you would play him would be for his name, Bombo. You know that he does flash once in a while and hope you're hitting the dice. You know the dice come up seven, you know what I mean?

I don't know. I think I agree with that. You know, I think everything going on there with the situation at quarterback, like you mentioned and just everything else, and D hop basically demanding all the targets from the backup guys. It's, it's like, yeah, sit your ass on the bench. T what do you think?

Sweet T: Yeah, so I mean, we all said it early on. Well, as soon as D Hop came back, we're gonna. Rounds, numbers start to deteriorate and that pretty much happened. Now. He did get hurt during that time and he missed, I don't know, four or five games, whatever it is, and he hasn't looked the same, but he's hasn't really looked at great all year, let's just kind of call it what it is.

He's only had one really big game, and that was week three against the ramps. I don't like the Cardinal's offense. I don't like what's going on. Even before Kyler Murray went down, I just didn't like what was going on over there. They, they didn't gel nowhere on that team, you know, from a fantasy standpoint.

I think the only one that was really getting decent points was de Hop when he came back and Connor, when he was healthy and playing. So there really wasn't a lot going. Um, I just really don't like anything on that offense at all. So I, I think that's a great call out there. Bombo,

King: Let me ask you guys a question, real quick questions. If you guys couldn't see the way that Kaiser's playing this year, would you guys have paid him that money before the season started? He got paid a lot of money before the season started. I mean,

Bombo: I probably wouldn't be throwing that kind of money around anyway. , what we've seen lately, king, you know, it's not the best quarterback that gets paid the most. It's the next quarterback that gets paid the most, and it was just his time. And you know, but now that how you see it, that they're handling, handling the Lamar situation in Baltimore, you might wanna probably run that risk, let's say, hey, just that Mexican standoff to see if who's gonna flinch first.

But looking back at it, it's a bad deal. The one thing I will say is Kyle's injury was coming off of trying to do his best for the team. It's not like some freak injury or anything like that. He was literally trying to. Evade a tackle and pick up extra yardage, and that's what you're paying him for and that's the risk that you run.

But honestly, I might not give a undersized running quarterback that much money anyway.

King: Yeah, I, I think that's, uh, the hitting the nail on the head. T any comments on that?

Sweet T: Yeah, so if you have to put in a clause that he has to start studying game film, and you know, you can't be on your PS five or, or any of this for so many hours a day and study that, that's a problem. To me, that's red flags all over it. I would not have given him that money and then going into what Bombo was saying, absolutely not.

I mean, all that just kind of compiles onto it. No way. No way. Absolutely. I would never do that in a million years.

King: Sit your ass on the bench. Hollywood Brown. All right guys, that's gonna wrap up our sit your asses on the bench. Great job guys. Hey, but before we go today, guys, Merry Christmas. You Scrooge. Motherfuckers. Nobody's even mentioned Christmas, dude. You know, it's not even Christmas time and we gotta start bringing Christmas back so, you know.

I'm gonna say Merry Christmas to you Bombo. Merry Christmas to you Mr. T. And I hope you and your families have a great and wonderful day together because the real thing that Christmas is all about is spending time with your loved ones, friends and family. Okay? So you guys have a great day for the Double I Fantasy Crew.

We wanna wish everyone a very, very Merry Christmas. Be safe and we are out.
