Intro
Injury Updates and Player Status
00:37:44
Ninja
And for our next injury, it's Kamani Vidal. I heard he has a quad injury, but he is expected to play this week. I think he was a four participant in practice today, on Tuesday that is.
00:37:58
Ninja
So expect him to be in your lineups next week. And then Marvin Harrison Jr. is still dealing with that appendix. I think he's getting it removed.
00:38:09
Ninja
I'm hearing he's going to be out one more week, so definitely check your sleeper, your Adam Schefter notifications about that. For Drake London, this is a mysterious one. I'm hearing a knee injury, and he's questionable, and they aren't specific about the knee injury.
00:38:25
Dakota Zeigler
you
00:38:26
Ninja
So I don't know if it's just you know a sore knee, a bone bruise, an ACL tear, sprain, anything like that. So definitely keep your peepers on that.
00:38:38
Ninja
Chimere Dike, I doubt any of you guys were starting him, but he suffered a concussion, likely out this next week for the Titans. And continuing on the Titans, Calvin Ridley suffered a high ankle sprain. He's officially ruled out the rest of the year from what I am hearing, which only does wonders for my Epic IU Manor shares, baby.
00:39:00
Ninja
I hate to see injury, but man, I love Epic so much. And for the last one, this is not an injury, but he will be out this week in your lineups.
00:39:12
Ninja
Jamar Chase has been suspended one game for doing that Hawk Towa
Bye Week Lineup Advice and Game Previews
00:39:18
Ninja
on Jalen Ramsey, so make sure you pull him out of your lineups this week.
00:39:18
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah,
00:39:23
Ninja
Junior, anything on any of those injuries? Because I kind of speed ran that.
00:39:28
Dakota Zeigler
yeah you're good. The only thing I want to add is the Drake London injury. I am seeing it as very vague, but most people are predicting it to be like a week-to-week injury. I'm assuming he's probably going to miss at least one week.
00:39:40
Dakota Zeigler
I said anywhere from one to three is what I kind of saw, but it is very up in the air.
00:39:46
Ninja
yeah And for our buys this week, thank goodness we don't have to talk about them. Well, he's not here to talk about it anyway, but... The Broncos are on a bye this week as well as the Dolphins, the Chargers, and the Commanders.
00:40:04
Ninja
So for your Broncos, I'm sure some of you had to start Sutton, RJ Harvey, Bo Nix. They need to be out of your lineups this week. Tua, Devon A. Chain, the stud.
00:40:14
Ninja
Jalen Waddle also need to be out. Justin Herbert, Vidal, Ladd McConkie, Kamani Vidal. I said that already. They need to be out of your lineup. And for the Manders, should just be Zach Ertz?
00:40:28
Ninja
Just make sure you set him for somebody.
00:40:29
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, definitely not playing JCM.
00:40:32
Ninja
Yeah, I don't know who would do that. Huh, me, everywhere. Anyways, moving on to Thursday Night Football Junior. Give me that transition music.
00:40:44
Ninja
Love that. See, I remembered it this time. I'm there with it. Good host here.
00:40:49
Dakota Zeigler
Huge.
00:40:50
Ninja
Thursday Night Football, man, this would have been an absolute banger. But CJ Stroud is out.
00:41:01
Ninja
It's Bills at Texans. And Junior has here as a note, give him the Bills by 10+. And without CJ Stroud, I absolutely agree.
00:41:06
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:41:10
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, I don't think it's going be close.
00:41:10
Ninja
No. No. Although that Texans defense is really, really good. Really, really good. For your Bills, you're gonna start Allen. He's a stud.
00:41:22
Ninja
Cook, he's a stud. Can't really trust anyone after that. I put in here as a note, Ty Johnson with an absolute blowup last week.
00:41:32
Ninja
And you didn't really see James Cook until but late in the second half. Is this something we need to continue to expect? Is Ty Johnson someone on our waiver wires or on your team already? Mine.
00:41:47
Ninja
Beating people in a lineup? What? Me? i'll You can answer that after i get through the Texans where it's Nico Collins and I'm out.
00:41:51
Dakota Zeigler
Thank you.
00:41:57
Ninja
Junior has here. Marks and Jaden Higgins are decent, but for me, it's Nico and I'm out. I'm not bothering with the rest of them. If I can sit the rest, I'm going to sit the rest.
00:42:08
Ninja
And this is going to be game script dependent. I think Higgins will end up being okay because they're going to have to throw the ball a lot. same Same thing with Jalen Noel, Christian Kirk, Dalton Chultz, but Jr. The main question here, Ty Johnson, what are we doing with him, buddy?
00:42:25
Dakota Zeigler
I don't think you can start him in most leagues. I don't think he's playable unless you're in these absurd leagues like we're in where we have like six flex spots and you have a lot of buys. Like, sure, then take a dart throw. But he is just you're banking on a big play touchdown. He's never going to get like 10 carries.
00:42:42
Dakota Zeigler
That's just not who he is. So I think I'm out. Kincaid being out again, I'm out on any receiver. Keon Coleman, a I'm giving up on. And then for the Texans side, I like Woody Marks a lot in this matchup, actually.
00:42:56
Dakota Zeigler
I like him game script either way, if they're winning or if they're losing. I think he catches passes. This Bill's defense is not very good. And I like Higgins a lot, too, if they're down big and they're throwing the ball.
00:43:09
Dakota Zeigler
He seemed to be a good matchup there. he Davis Mills liked to throw him the ball, so i don't I don't mind playing Higgins at all.
00:43:17
Ninja
So as I'm thinking about it more, because you did, so this is weird for the folks know, Junior did about half of these write-ups and I did the other half. This is one I didn't do. If the game script is close, which I think it actually has a chance of being, I like Nick Chubb a lot more than I like Woody Marks.
00:43:33
Dakota Zeigler
Interesting.
00:43:34
Ninja
But if it's a blowout, I like Woody Marks a lot more than I like Nick Chubb. You know where i'm going at? It's just kind of do what you think. This Texans defense is going to keep them in the game, I think.
00:43:45
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, I mean, it's just whatever your preference is, you know, Woody or a chump.
00:43:50
Ninja
Yeah, that was beautiful. Give yourself this. Yeah, there it is.
00:43:54
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:43:54
Ninja
Jesus. What a beautiful thing that just happened. I hope you guys all just take take notice that this is a ZNG podcast.
00:44:04
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, that you're you're never – this might be a comedy pod.
00:44:04
Ninja
You're coming back for that.
00:44:07
Dakota Zeigler
It's not even a football pod.
00:44:08
Ninja
I mean, and that was hysterical.
00:44:08
Dakota Zeigler
It's a comedy pod.
00:44:12
Ninja
But we move on to the Colts at Chiefs. I agree with Junior here. It's gonna be a banger. And please, for the love of God, Colts, do it for us, buddy.
00:44:19
Dakota Zeigler
For sure.
00:44:23
Dakota Zeigler
Please.
00:44:24
Ninja
Please. Yes, please.
00:44:26
Dakota Zeigler
Please.
00:44:27
Ninja
Oh, I'm begging for it. For your Colts, you start your studs. JT, Warren, Danny Dimes. What? I think Pittman is only okay.
00:44:40
Ninja
Junior has Pittman is good. I think he's just okay. I think that... The corners on the Chiefs are pretty good. So I'm kind of leaning a lot more towards Warren than I am any wide receiver here.
00:44:54
Ninja
And for the Chiefs, he has Mahomes, Kelsey, Bryce, Worthy, all good plays. I agree with that completely. I also agree that it should be a high-scoring game. And take your Flyers and Flex spots. If you don't have anyone else, take your Alec Pierce, your Joss Downs, your Tyquan Thorntons, maybe your Brashard Smith.
00:45:13
Ninja
What?
00:45:14
Dakota Zeigler
my Yeah, what a great write-up for that Colts-Chiefs game that I did.
00:45:15
Ninja
Junior.
00:45:21
Dakota Zeigler
I love it. i I love this game. I want the Colts outright. There's currently three-and-a-half point underdogs. Give me the Colts to win this game in Lambeau, in Arrowhead.
00:45:33
Dakota Zeigler
i like them a lot. And i I love the Flyers, too, for the Colts.
00:45:35
Ninja
Love that.
00:45:38
Dakota Zeigler
Like, Alec Pierce, I'm totally cool flexing. Josh Downs, I'm totally cool flexing. I like it a lot. If anything, I kind of disagree with you where i like Pittman more than I like Tyler Warren in this matchup for the Colts.
00:45:51
Dakota Zeigler
I think the Chiefs have very good linebackers, especially in coverage.
00:45:51
Ninja
Wow.
00:45:58
Dakota Zeigler
Bolton's a very good cover linebacker for the Colts, or for the Chiefs, I'm sorry. So I would almost lean playing Pittman over Warren if that's something you even have the opportunity to, but I'm still cool. I want to play them both.
00:46:11
Ninja
See, i I differ with your logic, but I also agree that you play them both. But moving on here, Seahawks at Titans. This is a get-right game for Sammy Wheels.
00:46:21
Ninja
Love that.
00:46:21
Dakota Zeigler
Has to, man. He looked awful last week. He should have been in our bads if he wasn't.
00:46:24
Ninja
has It was close. He almost made it. Almost. Almost.
00:46:28
Dakota Zeigler
He should have been in our bads.
00:46:30
Ninja
For your Seahawks, Darnold, Sharbs, Walker, Barner, JSN. What? Good starts this week. For me, Sharbs and Walker, you pick one like last week.
00:46:43
Ninja
Walker had the really good week and Sharbs kind of took a back seat. You kind of choose your poison there as you do any week. I think this is a big Shahid game and where he's finally working into that offense. Clint Kubiak worked with him down in New Orleans.
00:47:02
Ninja
I think this is a big game for Shahid. That's just the Ninja talking, and we'll get into that later in this podcast. And then for the Titans... Junior has wouldn't play a Titan unless I'm in Bi-Mageddon
00:47:15
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, it's going.
00:47:17
Ninja
I'm starting epic. I still am. Cam Ward is going to have to throw the ball. And with Calvin Ridley out, give me his best option. I think Cam Ward, especially last week, I actually watched football all all day last week.
00:47:34
Ninja
Even when I was driving home, I was listening to it on the radio.
00:47:36
Dakota Zeigler
yes gouton
00:47:37
Ninja
And scouting, have to. And he missed Epic IU Manor on a big 40-yard throw, and he just missed him wide. Expect him expect Epic IU Manor to kind of have a bigger timeshare and yardage share in this matchup because they should be behind for most of the game. Junior, any thoughts?
00:48:02
Dakota Zeigler
Sure. i mean, and obviously you're playing all your Seahawks. We kind of talked about that already. I love the Seahawks run game in this this matchup. Give me all the Sharbs, all the Kenneth Walker.
00:48:14
Dakota Zeigler
And if you want to play an Epic, sure. i just, I don't, I don't want to.
00:48:20
Ninja
See, I don't want to either, but I have a bias now, and now I'm stuck with it. So it is what it is. The Ninja sticks with his guys through thick and thin. On to our next game. Steelers at Bears.
00:48:32
Ninja
Probably a gross, low-scoring game. Is Aaron Rodgers going to be starting this game?
00:48:38
Dakota Zeigler
I
00:48:39
Ninja
No one has an idea right now. We're still waiting on that injury report.
00:48:42
Dakota Zeigler
i would i would say probably not.
00:48:45
Ninja
I would lean that way, but it hasn't been confirmed yet, so I don't want to lead the listeners wrong. For the Bears, give me all the Kaleeb and Adunze. I know Adunze has had a bunch of stinkers in a row.
00:48:57
Ninja
He'll get it right. He'll fix it one of these weeks, and you can't sit him is what I'm trying to say. And then in that backfield, Monungay and Swift share a healthy dynamic in that backfield. For now, I think you still have to lean Swift, but Monungay is getting a lot of work, especially goal line work, which means touchdowns, which means a lot of fantasy points, so I love that.
00:49:20
Ninja
and I think Loveland is okay. Also, kind of biased this week, he's only okay because he busted my one winning parlay this week, you absolute bum.
00:49:33
Ninja
Thank you, well-deserved for the kid. But going on to the Steelers, he yikes, if Rodgers is out, I think it's Mason Rudolph next at the helm, and oh god, that's
00:49:48
Dakota Zeigler
I did not mean to hit breaking news. I meant to hit you.
00:49:50
Ninja
I thought you were about to have an awesome update for us.
00:49:53
Dakota Zeigler
I got nothing. I got nothing.
00:49:57
Ninja
Warren, Jalen Warren, I think has he's the safest floor here.
00:50:02
Ninja
So he's the safest start, I think. I don't like it. I don't love it. But if you're starting anyone on the Steelers team, I think it's him.
00:50:12
Dakota Zeigler
I got no real qualms. The Seeler side, i don't think I want anything to do with if it's Mason Rudolph. And then for the Bears side, you can't be the guy who sits around the Doomsday. You can't be.
00:50:22
Ninja
Yeah.
00:50:22
Dakota Zeigler
The Steelers secondary is usually pretty bad, and they played well against DeMar Chase last week, but and I don't think that's going to be the norm. So start your Doomsday. I don't hate more either if you have to.
00:50:34
Ninja
Yeah, love that. Moving on to our next game. The New England Patriots are at the Bengals. Man, Travion Henderson is looking really, really good.
00:50:45
Dakota Zeigler
Oh yeah.
00:50:46
Ninja
And there is no Jamar Chase for the Bengals this week. So for your Patriots, I think a May and Henderson are must-starts regardless. And then give me Diggs bootay.
00:50:59
Dakota Zeigler
Buddy.
00:51:01
Ninja
and Pop Douglas and Kyle Williams as good, not great streaming slash flex options. This Bengals defense is bad, so you kind of just pick your matchup here.
00:51:12
Ninja
If you don't have anyone else, I wouldn't mind giving any of these guys a flyers. And for your Bengals offense, Hasn't changed. Gotta start all of them. They're electric. Even without Jamar Chase, I expect a big uptick for Andre Yoshiva.
00:51:28
Ninja
I think that's how you pronounce it. Not really sure.
00:51:30
Dakota Zeigler
think it's Yoshi Voss.
00:51:31
Ninja
a Junior.
00:51:32
Dakota Zeigler
I think you do say the S at the end.
00:51:34
Ninja
Yoshivas? It's a hard name.
00:51:35
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah. Yeah, it's a tough one. I got no qualms here. Love Drake May. Love Henderson in this matchup. like Top end studs. And then if I'm going to pick a New England wide receiver, I think give me Boutte this week. I like his matchup.
00:51:50
Dakota Zeigler
The Bengals are very bad against deep passes, and Boutte seems to be his specialty in this offense. So give me Boutte, and I love the Kyle Williams shout-out.
00:52:00
Dakota Zeigler
Shout-out.
00:52:01
Ninja
All the bootay this week. I'm really emphasizing that because the one listener I got to talk to you this weekend said he loved that. So I'll give him a little little extra this week.
00:52:12
Ninja
Love you, Ty.
00:52:12
Dakota Zeigler
chat out
00:52:13
Ninja
All the bootay this week.
00:52:16
Dakota Zeigler
The way you say all the makes me go, all the small things. it gay Yeah.
00:52:22
Ninja
Can you tell what type of music I listen to?
00:52:22
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:52:24
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, I mean...
00:52:25
Ninja
It's that. Well, not really all bling 182, but kind of that genre. Anyway, we're moving on here to the Giants at the Lions. In my opinion, Giants need to lose out and try and get that number one pick.
00:52:39
Ninja
Nothing's happening this year. Try and beat out the Jets. Try and beat out the Titans for that number one pick. And try and give yourself the most leverage in the offseason.
00:52:50
Ninja
And for the Lions, this is a major bounce-back game for everybody. After the Birds defense made everybody, especially Jared Goff, look real silly all night.
00:53:01
Ninja
For your Giants, as I always do, I start Theo, and then I'm out. Tyrone Tracy has done okay in Scadaboo's absence, but I don't trust it, especially against this Lions defense where they're going be behind.
00:53:16
Ninja
And for the Lions, it's everybody. Everyone, their nephews, their nieces.
00:53:23
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, I got no qualms, really. I think this Giants is team is probably one of the more high-end positions for head coaches nowadays.
00:53:32
Dakota Zeigler
I mean, they have what you would think is a franchise QB. But even if they don't, they have a top-end wide receiver in league and neighbors. They have a great tight end in Theo Johnson. They have a franchise left tackle in Andrew Thomas.
00:53:44
Dakota Zeigler
They have an incredible defensive line all over the place. it's It's a very, very good team that is young and exciting that you would love to get a part of and kind of develop. But I can completely agree with you. If they somehow come out with like the number one overall pick and they take some stud,
00:54:01
Dakota Zeigler
or trade back and get a haul for it. I think that's best for this team. But for this week, they have to play the Lions, and they have to get their beat. So they're going to get their beat.
00:54:11
Dakota Zeigler
I do think the matchup between the Lions offensive line and the Giants defensive line is going to be something we have to look at here. But I still think the Lions belt the Give me all of them
00:54:23
Ninja
Yep, give me Jalen Tyson to the Giants this offseason, which I absolutely love.
00:54:27
Dakota Zeigler
Also, shout out.
00:54:28
Ninja
Next game on...
00:54:29
Dakota Zeigler
I'm calling an Isaac Tesla anytime touchdown. I will be betting it on Sunday.
00:54:34
Ninja
Love it. Vikings at Packers. Love should be a full go this week. And as Junior put, McPunchMe looks terrible.
00:54:44
Dakota Zeigler
JJ McPunch me.
00:54:46
Ninja
Yeah, if you guys don't know who that is, it's JJ McCarthy. Still a very, very punchable face. Weather dependent would probably fade this game if I could, and I think I will, except I kind of like this game. but Love loves Emmanuel Wilson and love loves...
00:55:05
Ninja
Christian Watson? What?
00:55:06
Dakota Zeigler
Yes, sir.
00:55:07
Ninja
thats That's definitely a mix-up from earlier in the year, but I absolutely agree. I think Emmanuel Wilson should be your number one waiver claim for however much money you have to put on him. Do it.
00:55:17
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:55:17
Ninja
And same thing with Watson. If he isn't rostered, especially in your redraft leagues, go get him now.
00:55:23
Dakota Zeigler
Snag him now.
00:55:25
Ninja
Yep. And then For your Vikings, Jets, jay Jets, because you start your studs like you still always have to do We like Aaron Jones over Jordan Mason, who won.
00:55:38
Ninja
Addison is a good flex option. And as always, Hawk is an okay option at tight end. It's not like you're going to sit Hawk, I don't think. But Junior, any qualms here?
00:55:48
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, I mean, in most your 110 leagues, like Hawkinson's really just sneaking in that top 10 to 12-ish range, so he can probably do worse. I think there's more exciting options.
00:56:00
Dakota Zeigler
But I really, really like Emmanuel Wilson in this matchup. I think he's going to take the reins right away and produce pretty well. And I'm a Christian Watson guy. I think Christian Watson's a wide receiver one on this team.
00:56:12
Dakota Zeigler
He's the only one I really want right now. i love Matthew Golden, but he's just not going to probably produce for the rest of the year. give me all the Christian Watson. But I think we have two very different mindsets on this game. I think it's going to be low scoring, kind of a hard nosed divisional battle. So I'm kind of fading it if I can, but I think you feel the other way.
00:56:31
Ninja
Yeah, give me Matt LeFleur to open up this offense a little bit.
00:56:36
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah. matt
00:56:36
Ninja
I expect the defense to still be good, but Matt LeFleur is going to let some things fly.
00:56:37
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:56:40
Ninja
he can't He needs to try and win this division, and it starts this week.
00:56:44
Dakota Zeigler
I think it all just depends on if McPunchmeat figure out how to throw the ball to his wide receivers.
00:56:49
Ninja
God, that gets me every time. I'm going to just move on because I can't say any more bad about him. Jets at Ravens.
00:56:57
Ninja
Thank you. Jets going with Tyrod Taylor this week. Gross. God. For your Jets, Brees Hall, and that's it. And I don't even know if I like that too much.
00:57:10
Ninja
Donnie Mitchell and John Mechie are kind of fun. Keep in mind, just kind of fun. Not starts, just kind of fun if you need like a flex option or something like that.
00:57:18
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah. Yeah.
00:57:20
Ninja
So, you know, keep your eye on them. I would start Epic Iron Manor over any of these guys, but, you know, to each their own.
00:57:25
Dakota Zeigler
Agree.
00:57:27
Ninja
And then for the Ravens, you start your studs. Lamar, Henry. Andrews has been good. I think he put up a dub last week, but should be good in this matchup. And then Flowers is okay, mainly because the Jets stink.
00:57:41
Ninja
But you're probably going to have better options than Flowers. But for a flex, I don't mind it. Junior.
00:57:49
Dakota Zeigler
No qualms. The only thing want to throw in for this matchup is I have a team of in the league of record that I'm very good in. i'm I'm probably favorite, if not top two, to win the entire league.
00:58:02
Dakota Zeigler
And I have a few buys, a few injuries, a Jamar Chase suspension that's hurting my team. And I will probably be starting a Donnie Mitchell in that league. And I want to be optimistic about it.
00:58:17
Ninja
I can't wait to see how that works out for you. Poorly. But anyways, the next game we got going on, Junior, give me that music.
00:58:28
Dakota Zeigler
That music?
00:58:28
Ninja
Yeah. It doesn't matter.
00:58:30
Dakota Zeigler
Or this one?
00:58:32
Ninja
It doesn't matter.
00:58:33
Dakota Zeigler
I also have this one.
00:58:33
Ninja
The violin. Yeah. Keep that. I want you to keep that roll through this entire thing. This is Browns at Raiders.
00:58:39
Dakota Zeigler
Yep.
00:58:42
Dakota Zeigler
Okay.
00:58:42
Ninja
Oh, God. This is gross. Oh, Lord. No. the worst game of the year, question mark, for the Browns.
00:58:53
Ninja
Who the absolute timestamp of cares about anything in this game? yeah I'm even been talking quarterback, even Quinchon Junkins.
00:59:07
Ninja
I don't even know if I like him this game. Fanon. I don't know if I like Fanon this game. Njoku. I don't know if I like Njoku this game. And then for the Raiders.
00:59:21
Ninja
Chenti. i think is ill. Miles Garrett's gonna absolutely eat in this game.
00:59:30
Ninja
And then Brock Bowers. Cause he's an absolute stud. Timestamp. Thank you for the violence. No You can cut it. That that was a good stopping point. God I'm getting emotional.
00:59:38
Dakota Zeigler
I had to get to the violins. yeah
00:59:40
Ninja
So so mainly the main point here is it's Brock and I'm out for both teams. like I'm not starting Quinjon Judkins if I don't have to. I'm not starting Harold Fenn if I don't have to.
00:59:52
Ninja
I'm not starting Gen T if I don't have to. It's Brock and I bust. Pause. Pause.
00:59:57
Dakota Zeigler
Pause. Completely agree.
00:59:59
Ninja
but
00:59:59
Dakota Zeigler
No qualms. No qualms at all.
01:00:01
Ninja
Love that. Moving that. I love how we said pause at the same time. Jags at Cardinals. Jags look great after absolutely pummeling the Chargers, which took me by surprise.
01:00:14
Ninja
And then the Cardinals, thank you God, they look so bad are on the defensive side of the ball.
01:00:19
Dakota Zeigler
So bad.
01:00:21
Ninja
For your Jags, Etienne and Tootin are decent plays. I don't agree with this. This was Junior's write-up. I still am in the boat that you don't start your Jags whatsoever.
01:00:26
Dakota Zeigler
Whoa.
01:00:31
Ninja
he says he's fine starting Myers and T-Law if you have to. I'm not. Find a better matchup. Find anyone else. And then for your Cardinals, to be determined on Marvin Harrison Jr., I think he's out this week. So, uh, sit him.
01:00:48
Ninja
McBride is an obvious start. And I think in this matchup, Brissette is a good option. And then Michael Wilson, if Marv is out, I think is okay. You're probably going to have better. Is he going to replicate last week?
01:01:02
Ninja
Doubtful. But worth a shout, Junior.
01:01:05
Dakota Zeigler
I disagree on the Jags. I think this is a good matchup for them against this Cardinals defense, especially how the Niners kind of tore them up last week. I like Etienne and Tootin.
01:01:16
Dakota Zeigler
They're kind of a, you know, who do you like more situation. I like Tootin more than Etienne if I had to pick one. And Myers in his first game with the Jags, I think it was his first game, instantly became like the wide receiver one there above Parker Washington. And in this matchup, I'm totally cool playing him if you have to.
01:01:35
Ninja
For this game, i think Toon will be out this week. And I like the wide receivers.
01:01:39
Dakota Zeigler
Oh yeah, I did miss that. I swear I watch football.
01:01:47
Dakota Zeigler
I do.
01:01:48
Ninja
He just forgets sometimes, which I do too.
01:01:50
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
01:01:51
Ninja
but the wide receivers, I just don't like, and it's not like a hate on anybody. I just don't like any wide receivers in the system, regardless of who they're playing. But on to the next matchup this week, which we care about a lot more Eagles at Cowboys and I grew a junior should be a classic, uh,
01:02:07
Dakota Zeigler
Oh baby. Should be.
01:02:11
Ninja
As he says, a tough matchup for the boys. CD, Dak, Pickens, Ferg, J-Will are all okay. But you need to lower your expectation. they're playing a good defense. I absolutely agree. Except Ferg is a must-sit. Yeah, absolute bum.
01:02:26
Ninja
Threw a parlay for the boys. So I started doing some news here. Listeners don't know. I'm sure most of you are in this league, but some of you may not be. I threw out a new segment, the Ninjas' Monday Night Parlay of the Week, and Jay Ferg, all he needed was 40-plus receiving yards.
01:02:44
Ninja
He had four catches for 13 yards. Guys, i I don't even know how that's possible in this day and age. I really don't.
01:02:55
Ninja
So I have a personal hatred towards Jake Ferguson right now, and it will remain this week, especially as the birds play him. And for your birds, it's your normal suspects.
01:03:07
Ninja
Some of them are going to hit. Some of them won't. Guess what? We deal with it like we always do. Junior.
01:03:14
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, I mean, I got no qualms. I love that our new bit is that we sit players after they ruin our parlays, regardless of their matchup or their like play. like That's how we decide if we're going to play players or not. I like that. I love the pettiness.
01:03:29
Dakota Zeigler
I'm all for the pettiness.
01:03:31
Ninja
Also, it's a bad matchup for Ferg. Like, Jihad Campbell, Zach Bond, like, it's bad. It's a bad matchup.
01:03:36
Dakota Zeigler
I do agree. I think if you have another like good option, I would play them, but I also still think he's like a top 10-ish tight end.
01:03:44
Ninja
It's just convenient that this week was, he was playing the bird so I could use my pettiness to my advantage, but, like, you obviously, like, most people are going to start Jay Ferg, as you should.
01:03:50
Dakota Zeigler
For sure.
01:03:55
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah. I know I'm an Eagles fan and I'm biased. i I really think the birds turn it around in this game and we kind of get it moving. think the pass game has a good game. I like Hurts a lot in this matchup. I like Devontae and AJ.
01:04:09
Dakota Zeigler
I like Goddard. I think we get the ball moving a little bit, and I love would love to do it in Jerry World.
01:04:17
Ninja
Love it. I absolutely agree. I think this is an Eagles offense get right game. Expect a big Saquon day. Maybe an A.J. Brown slant. We'll get to that later. The next game of the week, Falcons at Saints.
01:04:26
Dakota Zeigler
Would.
01:04:32
Ninja
Ew. Thank you. Kirk is going to start for the Falcons at quarterback. hey Thank you again for your Falcons.
01:04:42
Ninja
Bijan is a must start as he always is. London, as we are being told as of now on Tuesday night at 10.02 p.m., is questionable.
01:04:54
Ninja
So make sure you listen to your sleeper reports, your Shefty reports, all that fun stuff. Pitts is decent, Junior says. I disagree. But that's because he sold a parlay. And as we said, pettiness drives this podcast. So he sits for me.
01:05:09
Ninja
And for your Saints, honestly, Junior has Olave and who cares? I just have... Who cares? Who gives an absolute flying about this team?
01:05:21
Ninja
Not me. I'm sitting everybody. If you have a Saint, you're probably losing this week if you have to start a junior.
01:05:28
Dakota Zeigler
yeah i don't have many qualms Eileen Drake London being out this week, if that is the case, I think Darnell Mooney is a fine option to play in his replacement.
01:05:40
Dakota Zeigler
And for
Betting Insights and Parlay Picks
01:05:41
Dakota Zeigler
me,
01:05:44
Dakota Zeigler
you're you're the best.
01:05:49
Ninja
I'll fill in here real quick. I actually don't think it's... So if London's out, a Junior saying Mooney is okay. I'm actually leaning the opposite way. If London's out, I would rather lean Algier as they're going to rely on that run game a little bit more. So if you have Algier, I think this is a better week for him if London is out rather than Darnell Mooney. But I'll let Junior finish what he was trying to say.
01:06:14
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, i don't hate that. I see what you're saying. And for me, I think one of the bits that I'm sad you didn't announce, I called the Saints quarterback, whose name is actually escaping me right now, Kirk Jr.,
01:06:26
Dakota Zeigler
And by that, I do mean Kirk Cousins, to who he is today, post Achilles injury and sucking at football.
01:06:33
Ninja
yeah
01:06:35
Ninja
Tyler Shuck?
01:06:36
Dakota Zeigler
Tyler Shuck, yes, the Saints quarterback. He is Kirk Jr. And i would i I'm excited to watch them both suck at football together against each other.
01:06:47
Ninja
So you're saying I should be excited for this game? Absolutely not!
01:06:51
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, as a comedy. Like this podcast.
01:06:54
Ninja
As a comedy, I can get on board for it. Like this podcast, guys.
01:06:56
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, exactly.
01:06:59
Ninja
Our next good of the week, and by good, I mean this matchup because I think it's going to be very, very good, and I would dare say... Game of the week. It's Bucks at Rams. I think it's going to be an absolute banger.
01:07:17
Ninja
Yes, all the applause, all the best for your Bucks. Baker Mayfield is a dog. If there's one guy in the NFL I want to get a drink with, it's Baker Mayfield. like He holds a special place in my heart.
01:07:31
Ninja
And then give me Emeka Agbuka. And then Junior, I think, is right on with this analysis where you roll the dice on running back. Bucky has been weird the the past couple weeks where you think he's going to be in and then he's out.
01:07:44
Ninja
I think this week he's actually a go, but it's also a dice roll because his Ram defense is pretty good. And I don't know if he's going to get full timeshare on his first week back.
01:07:55
Ninja
And then for your Rams, you start your usual Stafford, Puka, Adams, Kyron. They're all good. i don't like I've been sneaking T-Ferg in a lot of Rams games recently.
01:08:07
Ninja
Not doing it this game. The Bucs have a really good linebacking core.
01:08:08
Dakota Zeigler
No.
01:08:11
Ninja
But this, I do believe, is a proper Sunday Night Football brawl
Technical Difficulties Comedy
01:08:15
Ninja
where it is game of the week. Junior.
01:08:18
Dakota Zeigler
Completely agree. I think I hope it's a banger, like kind of how the Bills Bucks game was last week, where it's just a high scoring affair back and forth. Most of the game. The main thing in this game, I think we have to talk about is this Bucks backfield.
01:08:33
Dakota Zeigler
I think as the news as of now is Bucky is going to attempt to be worked in more at practice this week. If it happens to be where Bucky everyy bucky Irving is playing, I still think I'm sitting him in this matchup because i do I think he's going to be expected to start and take over most of the workload.
01:08:47
Ninja
I agree.
01:08:52
Dakota Zeigler
And then even if he doesn't, he's going to get the workload split with him, which would obviously be worse for everybody. But on the contrary... I think if Bucky Irving is ruled out and they roll with Rashad White and Sean Tucker again, i think I'm kind of okay playing Sean Tucker if I have to.
01:09:11
Dakota Zeigler
I think the upside with him is fine for me. I don't think I'm playing Rashad White regardless.
01:09:16
Ninja
I like
01:09:19
Ninja
Oh, that's tough. I just want to say the Bucs have been on a gauntlet the past couple weeks. Like, this sucks for their schedule.
01:09:23
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
01:09:25
Ninja
But it is what it is. I think this is going be banger. I think it's going to really close. I think it's going high scoring. Give me the Bucs. All right.
01:09:32
Dakota Zeigler
who
01:09:34
Ninja
Our next game, our Monday night game of the week is Panthers at 49ers. I think another banger to end the week. Weird, strange, but I like it.
01:09:46
Ninja
Shout out, Zig. Kind of weird, kind of strange, but we love the kid. For your Panthers, you start your Dowdle, your Tet, your Bryce, your XO. You can't sit this Panthers offense after last week where they absolutely blew up, and I love to see every part of that.
01:10:03
Ninja
For the Niners, CMC is a dog. Kittle is dog. Dog! And then a wide receiver kind of rolling the dice. And I don't like anything about it. Pearsall is gross. Jennings is gross. Kendrick Bourne is gross.
01:10:21
Ninja
Junior, any thoughts here about what should be a decent Monday Night Football game?
01:10:26
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, definitely decent. Uh, definitely a weird matchup. Like Panthers Niners is not really a game you like picture in your head when you think of like a Monday night football game, but I'm here for it.
01:10:37
Dakota Zeigler
I think it's going to be a sneaky, like good, good game. I think the Niners win. I do think their offense kind of overtakes that Panthers defense, but I think the Pan Panthers hang around. If this passing game can keep moving like it has been, I think it's going to be a very good game.
01:10:54
Dakota Zeigler
I just can't trust any of these 49ers wide receivers, but I want to.
01:11:00
Ninja
Correct.
01:11:00
Dakota Zeigler
I want to play Pearsall.
01:11:01
Ninja
That's the right answer to have.
01:11:03
Dakota Zeigler
I want to play Pearsall so bad. I don't want to play Juwan Jennings, but I really want to play Pearsall, and I just can't.
01:11:10
Ninja
You can't do it. But that sums up our games. So we go into the fun portion of the podcast.
01:11:16
Dakota Zeigler
Yes, sir.
01:11:17
Ninja
The ZNG bet of the week, ladies and gentlemen. And as you know, as you can tell throughout this whole pod, we haven't had a 30-minute long Broncos discussion, so you're wondering where's they got.
01:11:30
Ninja
He's not here, but we do have his bet.
01:11:32
Dakota Zeigler
You're welcome.
01:11:32
Ninja
his You are welcome is indeed correct, but we do have his bet. He has Devontae Adams. His odds are at minus 140. He says that Stafford and Adams have elite chemistry, especially around the goal line.
01:11:49
Ninja
The Bucs just let up 44 to the Bills, and he expects a high-scoring game, so he expects Adams to benefit. I don't hate it. Uh, so Zig's pick this week is Devante Adams at minus 140 and I'll go next.
01:12:05
Ninja
Uh, I have Travion Henderson as an anytime touchdown scorer. He was electric last week. Thank you. Thank you guys. I'm back. I'm fully back.
01:12:16
Ninja
I know it's a little bit chalk, but three touchdown last week and I still think he has a really good matchup this week.
01:12:21
Dakota Zeigler
Oh,
01:12:22
Ninja
So I just need one of those puppies. i don't need three. So give me one touchdown for Travion Henderson this week. I think it's an absolute lock, kind of like how CMC was last week. And at this point, I'm just trying to beat Zig. I don't care about Chalk or not.
01:12:34
Ninja
But, Junior, your penal your pick of the week because we are Chalky as all get out.
01:12:41
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, I can't wait until next week's parlays like CMC, Jonathan Taylor, and like whoever else is like super chalky.
01:12:48
Ninja
Kyron Williams.
01:12:49
Dakota Zeigler
Kyron Williams. Like, our our parlay is actually minus 110. I am going with what I think is a very, very good matchup. I'm going to go with Zach Charbonnet to score a touchdown against the Tennessee Titans. Kenneth Walker was the one who got in the end zone last week.
01:13:06
Dakota Zeigler
And I think the Seahawks roll in Tennessee. I don't think it's close. And I think Charbonnet sees a red zone rush or two or three or five.
01:13:16
Dakota Zeigler
And hopefully he scores one of them. And I'm actually getting at a plus money. Not a lot of odds right now because it is a Tuesday, but I found some bet 365 odds at plus 120 for Zach Charbonnet to score touchdown. So here I am again giving you the highest odds to actually win some money, and hopefully this time it actually pays out.
01:13:34
Dakota Zeigler
But I love my Zach Charbonnet pick.
01:13:37
Ninja
I absolutely love it too. And to summarize that, Zig has Devontae Adams at minus 140. I have Travion Henderson at minus 155. And Junior has Zach Charbonnet at plus 120. If you add all those picks up, it's only at plus 520.
01:13:56
Ninja
But guess what, boys?
01:13:56
Dakota Zeigler
no
01:13:58
Ninja
Chalk is chalk, baby. Chalk pays. And we love that.
01:14:02
Dakota Zeigler
Someone once told me that chalk pays, baby.
01:14:05
Ninja
Chalk Pays, baby. Speaking of Chalk Payne, this is the opposite. Because we're getting into the Ninja Parlay of the Week, baby. And I'm super excited. I'm... Oh, thank you.
01:14:20
Ninja
Thank you, guys. Thank you. No, hold the applause. Thank you. Thank you. I've been... I haven't hit so far, but guys, I'm sniffing greatness.
01:14:30
Ninja
Two parlays this week. I've been one leg off. I am so close to the heaven's gate. i just need like i just need a little turn of the key to unlock greatness for you guys and myself.
01:14:44
Ninja
God, I love money. But for the Ninja Parlay of the week, Junior's going to try and quickly write in odds here. But I'm not going to wait up for him because some of these are pretty far-fetched, as is the Ninjas Parlay of the Week standard.
01:15:04
Ninja
But for some chalk, give Amon Ra. St. Brown had a bad week last week against the Birds. What? He's going to step it up this week. And then as another chalk, give me A.J.
01:15:18
Ninja
Brown outright against the boys. I think their quarterback room is Buns, and they're starting to feed him a little bit more. I expect him to get one of those slant rounds for a touchdown, maybe a slot.
01:15:29
Ninja
not Not a slot fade, but a fade route from the outside. Give me A.J. Brown anytime. And then where we start to get quite a bit spicy, Andre Yosivas. For the Cincinnati Bengals with Jamar Chase out, he's going to have an increased role. I think he's going to be a touchdown scorer this week.
01:15:47
Ninja
And then, to sum up my parlay, it's going to be Rashid Shaheed. slowly working into the way slowly working his way into this offense.
01:15:59
Ninja
They play a bum Titans team this week, and I think this is where they're going to finally unload all the plays for Rashid Shahid down the field, screen passes, whatever it is. I think they're going to let this kid loose, let him play a lot, and Junior has so graciously got me odds, which I cannot locate earlier, but for the Ninjas Parlay of the Week,
01:16:23
Ninja
Alman Rav sits at right around minus 115 odds. Andre Yosifov, God, I said that so wrong. Cut that. At plus 250 odds.
01:16:35
Ninja
Rashid Shahid at plus 260. Actually, on Sunday, DraftKings, that'll probably be a little bit more than plus 260. So maybe just hold off till Sunday morning. I think he might be plus 300-something.
01:16:47
Ninja
Or I could be wrong. And then the last leg of the parlay is AJ Brown at plus 170 juniors finding. So for this parlay, add all of those odds up, all those players up.
01:17:01
Ninja
You get somewhere right around plus 6,210 odds, which means $5 will roughly win you right around $340 if I'm doing math right.
01:17:12
Dakota Zeigler
You're spot on, buddy.
01:17:14
Ninja
Oh gosh, I'm really good at math. Not really. That was a really good guess. But hopefully you follow the nin Ninjas Parlay because we're getting hot, boys. i can I got a tingling sensation in my loins.
01:17:28
Ninja
And I don't know if it's the Betzer, me just talking to Junior here, getting me real excited. But that sums it up for us. Junior, do you have anything for all the people out there before we send it out?
01:17:40
Dakota Zeigler
No, I don't. Appreciate you guys listening to this one. This was definitely a fun one to do Hopefully we can kind of edit it out, but we had a little bit of behind-the-scenes technical difficulties we were battling through today. Hopefully this comes out smooth as we want it to I love this parlay. I love that you're throwing chalky with like expected stuff with a little bit of dart throws. I think that's the mix we kind of need because if you just go straight chalk or if you go straight like dart throws, then it kind of gets thrown out of the place. I love this parlay. I will be back in this one.
01:18:09
Dakota Zeigler
but yeah, thank you guys for listening. and Appreciate you tuning in. Uh, Ninja, you're doing a great job posting this pod, buddy. I love being the producer on this.
01:18:16
Ninja
Thank you, yes. As you guys can tell, we've kind of been introduced new roles in this offense we call the ZNG Podcast, where the Ninja's now hosting a little bit more than usual, and Lord Hinckley is producing...
01:18:33
Ninja
Quite a bit more than usual. And that just so happens because our buddy Zig is out doing great things in the world. You know, work and having a family. you know, and doing all the fun things in life. Well, we're just here out producing this humble podcast for you every every Tuesday afternoon.
01:18:50
Ninja
But I do agree the parlay is, I like the mix of chalky and not chalky. I think before I was going way far out there and then really chalk and then way far out and then really chalk. I like the blend this week.
01:19:02
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
01:19:02
Ninja
I'm a real fan of this.
01:19:03
Dakota Zeigler
Good mix.
01:19:05
Ninja
And so your listeners know, because I know we talked about it before, we are working on a date for the way too early 26th Mach. We had a date scheduled and it just didn't work out.
01:19:17
Ninja
We both have plans. And by we both have plans, I mean Junior had plans.
01:19:21
Dakota Zeigler
all right. Hmm.
01:19:22
Ninja
And by we both have plans, it means I wasn't far enough scouting yet because I'm a bum and, you know, Saturdays I'm normally doing things, not able to sit my butt down and scout like I should be doing. But that will be on the way shortly.
01:19:37
Ninja
And as Zig said a while ago, we're going to try, especially in the next coming weeks where we expect Zig to you know, be out with his family doing schoolwork or whatever. Whatever. Whatever or not, we're going to try and get some people to help fill in his role.
01:19:50
Ninja
us maybe Maybe some familiar faces, maybe some you haven't heard before. But we're going try and get some more people into this podcast. So at least have a a full room, if you will, where it's not just me and Junior.
01:20:03
Ninja
as we like to say, be kind to one another. be a smiling face out there. Last week, we know we kind of went on an in-depth look, you know, mentally. Like, you know, look out for your boys because you don't know what they're going through.
01:20:14
Ninja
And especially in this holiday season, you know, everyone's experiencing a little more stress with the holidays around, whether it's family, whether it's work, whether it's Who knows what? Just check in. Just be there for the boys, as I know you are.
01:20:27
Ninja
But just check in. Like, after this podcast, I'm going to call my brother after this podcast and just see how he's doing. As you guys should do, too. You know, talk to your friends. Talk to your homies.
01:20:39
Ninja
Because everyone needs that outlet. Everyone needs that shining light. And I know you can be that. So do that out in the world. Do the ninja in favor and be great out there in life.
01:20:49
Ninja
You know, we can struggle internally. We can do everything. But just be that shining light for other people because it'll get returned to you. Be a good person. It'll come on back. What's the song by Justin Timberlake? If it goes around, it comes around. You know what i mean?
01:21:02

Kidding. Yeah, that won't ever happen. But for us here at the ZNG Dynasty Podcast, I know this is a lot of fun for me and Gary. We get all we get all the reins here, and it's so much fun to have oh without any 30-minute Broncos rant, which we are very happy about today.
01:21:30
Ninja
But obviously, we miss Zig, as we do every week. But just look in his... A little bit of absence in the next couple of weeks. Maybe we'll see if he's able to do it Obviously, we want him to be here.
01:21:40
Ninja
But we expect him to be out a couple weeks. Just, you know, kind of get that life stuff together. As I don't know how to do because I'm a child and like football way too much.
01:21:51
Ninja
But we should have a couple of... If Zig isn't here, maybe a couple of guests on. What?
01:21:57

but
01:21:58

A couple new faces. What?
01:22:01
Dakota Zeigler

But it should be a great time. And obviously you get to listen to Lord Hinkey and the Ninja. Every week.
