Week 12 Fantasy Football: Start/Sit Love-Hate, Cuff Season, Trade Strategy
30 Plays27 days ago
Week 12 is here and it’s officially CUFF SEASON. 🥶
In this episode of the Bush League Huddle Fantasy Football Podcast, Fab, Rog & Nacc break down how to prep your roster for the playoffs in 2QB/Superflex leagues, which handcuffs actually matter, and our full Week 12 Love/Hate start/sit picks.
We kick things off with Opening Drive: Cuff Season – how to shift your bench from “upside fliers” to injury insurance, QB and RB handcuff targets, and why you need to think about Weeks 15–17 now, not later.
Then we dive into:
- QB Love/Hate – why we’re higher on guys like Bryce Young & Jacoby Brissett this week, and fading some bigger names in tough matchups like Sam Darnold and Daniels Jones
- RB Love/Hate – David Montgomery and Breece Hall in smash spots, plus why we’re nervous about plays like Ashton Gentry and Kareem Hunt
- WR Love/Hate – upside shots like Rome Odunze & Jameson Williams, and fades like Khalil Shakir & Ricky Pearsall
- TE Love/Hate – streamers like Chig Okonkwo & AJ Barner, and why we’re out (again) on Kyle Pitts
Whether you’re fighting for a playoff spot or locking in your bye, we’ve got you covered.
👉 Drop your start/sit or trade questions in the comments and we’ll hit them in the next episode.

We're here all the time. We don't miss a beat.
NFL Players and the 'Vegas Flu'
00:01:19
Fab
All right. Unlike some people that might sleep through their walkthroughs or certain wide receivers that missed their curfew and miss out on the opening drive. We're not going to say who those people are, but doesn't matter because they balled out. Anyway, it's last night.
00:01:32
Fab
CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. Did you guys hear about that? Getting little bit too loose in Vegas?
00:01:35
Nacc
it
00:01:36
Roger Emeka
Yeah, they got the Vegas flu.
00:01:36
Fab
Can't. Yeah, I can't blame them necessarily. But you wouldn't have seen it on the on the on the playing field. My goodness, did they go off last night. If you guys if any one of you are listeners right now had George Pickens or had CeeDee Lamb and you needed him for a Monday Night Miracle, I hope you got it. I really do.
00:01:52
Fab
Except if it was against me. We got a jam-packed episode this week, like
Strategies for Week 12 Fantasy Team Management
00:01:57
Fab
always. Roger's going to kick us off with the opening drive. We got some post-bye week strategies and handling of some handcuffs that you really got to pay attention to. NACA's going to keep us honest, as always, with the love-hate.
00:02:07
Fab
where some of us did a lot worse than others. We're not going name names. We're going to find out later on a little bit. ah But apart from that, listen, i'm gonna I'm going to keep things short, sweet, and simple, like Nack's cute little mustache over there.
00:02:19
Fab
We're going to get things rolling right now. Roger, you can take it away with the opening drive. Nack, that's like a... I know this is like PG-13, but my goodness, that's like that's not safe for work right there, that stash you got on your finger.
00:02:30
Fab
My goodness, where is that coming from?
00:02:32
Roger Emeka
Butler.
00:02:34
Fab
Ha ha ha ha.
00:02:34
Roger Emeka
gome Gomez Adams.
00:02:34
Nacc
The Ned Flanders.
00:02:36
Fab
Gomez Adams. Take away, a Raj.
00:02:40
Roger Emeka
Thank you, Fab. ah Yes, for the opening drive, week 12, we're going to talk about cuff season. So playoff prep made simple for you all. So week 12, final bye weeks are coming up. Injuries are everywhere. It's officially cuff season.
00:02:52
Roger Emeka
It's time to protect your rosters for the playoffs. So quickly, we'll go through the remaining bries. Week 12, we have the Broncos, Chargers, Dolphins, and Commanders. And week 14, we have the Panthers, Patriots, Giants, and forty nines So If you're not impacted by these teams, your focus should automatically shift towards playoff roster construction, regardless of your your record.
00:03:11
Roger Emeka
The bench right now, no longer upside for flyers. It's for insurance. Fab is mostly gone. FAAB is mostly gone. if you're like me, i have no I've had no fab since Jake Browning.
00:03:23
Roger Emeka
I was a Joe Burr owner.
00:03:23
Fab
Yep. Yep. Make the distinction because five is here for the entirety of the season. Just want to make that clear. Thank you.
00:03:29
Roger Emeka
Oh, yes. Thank you, Fab. Thank you. Free agent acquisition budget is what I'm referring to.
00:03:33
Fab
There it is.
00:03:34
Roger Emeka
Waivers are very thin and injuries only get worse from here. So if you're in a 2QB and Superflex league like we are in, like we specialize in in this podcast, you're one QB injury away from your season unraveling, especially in weeks 15, 16, and 17.
00:03:48
Roger Emeka
So sixteen
Running Back Handcuffs and Waivers
00:03:49
Roger Emeka
and seventeen so There's some guys you could stash now from a QB perspective. And yes, I know we're already past kind of once this this goes out, you're going to pass the waiver period, but you're going to be able to get Tyson Bajant from the Bears if you're a caleb we Caleb Williams owner. He's one of the best backups in the league.
00:04:04
Roger Emeka
Snoop Hundley, considering how Lamar Jackson has has looked from an injury perspective, and we saw how Hundley came on a few weeks ago, and the offense kind of fits him ah better than Cooper Rush as a running quarterback.
00:04:16
Roger Emeka
Even Anthony Richardson, if you've lived by Daniel Jones right now, having Anthony Richardson as as insurance, case Daniel Jones goes out, we saw how Anthony Richardson, I owned him last year. He was quite helpful during during the stretch, especially with his running upside.
00:04:29
Roger Emeka
There's Tanner McKee. We know Jalen Hurts often gets injured at the end of the year. He always gets injured at least one for one or two games every single season. David Smills, we've seen how he's performed lieu of CJ Stroud.
00:04:43
Roger Emeka
Mack Jones and even Malik Willis.
00:04:45
Nacc
Thank
00:04:45
Roger Emeka
in a run heavy scheme. So those guys could be, could be seasoned stavers, especially if you're in a two QB league, it's not the time anymore to kind of own guys that you don't necessarily and necessarily need. So if you look at what happened last week, we had Josh Jacobs who injured his knee and his week to week. We had Jalen Warren who injured his ankle. We're to see if he's going to be day to day. So we're already seeing, you know, these aren't freak injuries.
00:05:08
Roger Emeka
This is normal for this to happen for the wear and tear to happen. And then for weeks 12 to 17, start to plan in your your your backups and your contingencies. So if you look at who the top running back handcuffs are still on waivers.
00:05:22
Roger Emeka
So these are really elite insurance policies in case your starters go down. These are these are guys who are... Could be very good if the starter goes down and even now are still producing with as a backup. So there's Blake Corum, who's owned in 17% of leagues.
00:05:38
Roger Emeka
Basial Tootin, 31% ownership. Tyler Algier, 45% ownership. Kenny Gainwell, 34%. Brian Robinson Jr., 28%. That makes no sense.
00:05:49
Roger Emeka
You're a CMC owner. Brian Robinson Jr.
00:05:50
Fab
Yeah.
00:05:51
Nacc
that's That's shocking.
00:05:51
Roger Emeka
should be owned. He should be owned at least 50% to 60%. He is a pure league winner as CMC's backup. There's Tank Bigsby, who backs up Saquon Barkley, 21% ownership.
00:06:02
Roger Emeka
Ollie Gordon, he's been really good at the goal line. He backs up Devon Achan. And there's Ray Davis at 8%. We know what he's done when james James Cook has been out in the past. So... These are all guys who have the talent. They have the roles.
00:06:15
Roger Emeka
They have clear paths to volume. And if you look at my example, we were just talking about it in the pre-show. I actually had amma Emmanuel Wilson two weeks ago.
00:06:24
Fab
Yeah.
00:06:25
Roger Emeka
I looked ahead of it. I was like, hey, Josh Jacobs, he's been nicked up. He's been injured. Let me pick up Emmanuel Wilson. Let me start kind of figuring out this post-biweek strategy now.
00:06:35
Roger Emeka
And then I dropped him because I'm like, Josh Jacobs, he's durable. He never gets hurt. Lo and behold, Josh Jacobs, after a few plays against ah the Giants in that MetLife turf, bangs his knee down in the turf.
00:06:48
Roger Emeka
He is hurt. He is potentially week to week, maybe not season ending. But I'm left scrambling now looking for a running back. So don't be me.
Playoff Roster Construction and Defensive Strategies
00:06:57
Roger Emeka
Think ahead, which I already did, but then I dropped him.
00:07:00
Roger Emeka
But stick to your guns and keep keep with your handcuffs. And again, ask ask yourself, Is it better to have Tony Pollard or Isaiah Pacheco or maybe hope and pray that Nick Chubb is you know going to reclaim the starter again or get one of elite handcuffs who could eventually become an RB1 the moment the starter misses time? So this is all about insurance.
00:07:23
Roger Emeka
Your bench isn't for hope. Build for the playoff roster now.
00:07:27
Fab
Yeah, and honestly, the same goes for the like if you don't own the starters.
00:07:33
Roger Emeka
Hmm.
00:07:33
Fab
like if if you're If you don't have Kyron Williams and you want to pick up Blake Corham, you have a spot on your bench to do it, or even Bryan Robinson Jr., do Do it because know what's going to happen the next few weeks, right?
00:07:41
Roger Emeka
Yes.
00:07:43
Fab
The season is long, and it keeps on getting longer every single year because they keep on adding games. And those are guys that are going to help you hit the fantasy football promise land. And there's nothing wrong with picking up somebody else's handcuff.
00:07:55
Fab
like Everyone plays ah offense, but you've got play some defense too, right? Whenever you go do your roster management and your roster changes, you want to pick up that extra defense or that extra kicker, just a poo-poo on a guy's week, just the way he doesn't he's not able to start that guy that he wants to start. the same thing with running backs.
00:08:11
Fab
Pick up everyone else's backups. What do you have to lose apart from a roster spot if you can burn it?
00:08:16
Roger Emeka
We have two guys in our league.
00:08:16
Nacc
And it look, it just, yeah.
00:08:18
Roger Emeka
Go ahead, Nick.
00:08:19
Nacc
Yeah, well, that's what I was just about to say is two guys in in in in Bush League where Nick picked up Emmanuel Wilson and I picked up Kenneth Gainwell um just before the game started.
00:08:25
Fab
Yep.
00:08:29
Nacc
And lo and behold, now we have the backups on our team free of charge. Obviously, didn't cost us anything um if we even did have Fab left. Someone like you, Raj, like you said, if if you don't have any fab left on your on your plate, is the free agency is where you really have to work your magic because you'll be outbid every every week when it comes to waivers.
00:08:52
Roger Emeka
Absolutely. So that's the strategy. Post-bye, that's cuff season. Tighten the bench, protect the studs, get play off playoff ready before the league mates even realize what's happening.
00:09:03
Roger Emeka
Nak, your
Love-Hate Segment: Quarterbacks and Running Backs
00:09:05
Roger Emeka
turn. Take it away with love-hate for week 12.
00:09:08
Nacc
Yes, sir. Thank you, Raj. Love, hate, baby. The best segment there is out there. But before we dive into our week 12 loves and hates, we'll do a quick recap of last week's picks. So accountability is what keeps us, um, our advice sharp. So let's see how our week 11 selections performed.
00:09:28
Nacc
Uh, it's all about learning from the results and using insight to up our game for the week ahead. So a little bit of a bumpy ride once again this week for the Bush League Huddle. Our record this week was a bismal or abysmal, excuse me, five and nine which brings our which brings our our total record to 77-80-2 on the season.
00:09:52
Nacc
Fab, yes, I know you put a hood on your head. Look like the Cleveland Browns with the garbage bags on their head. ah You went one in 12.
00:09:59
Roger Emeka
like the Grim Reaper.
00:10:02
Nacc
number 11 missed out on your loves of Gino Smith and Marcus Ferriotta but fun fact fun fact they did finish QB9 and QB15 at their positions um but as everyone knows we go based on projections so they were both misses this week you also missed the drastically on your hate of Baker Mayfield um I know we caught a lot of flack on that and and we we we did I did mention that Baker Mayfield was going have a good game so
00:10:07
Fab
Did i Did I?
00:10:09
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:10:22
Fab
ah yeah. I will eat crow for that. i will eat crow.
00:10:30
Nacc
ah as it always happens in your in your hate segment with your spicy takes.
00:10:35
Fab
Yeah, I think I'm like 0 for 6 in the last three weeks with my hates.
00:10:35
Nacc
ah You also make...
00:10:40
Fab
They've all massively outperformed their projected points.
00:10:44
Nacc
Yeah, as did as did Mr.
00:10:45
Fab
Massively. So...
00:10:47
Nacc
Brock Purdy.
00:10:48
Fab
Yeah.
00:10:48
Nacc
ah You did hit on your sole hate of Kate Auten, so congratulations on that.
00:10:49
Fab
Niners are looking good.
00:10:53
Fab
Yeah, it's fine.
00:10:55
Nacc
Rod, you went 2-2.
00:10:56
Fab
Whatever.
00:10:57
Nacc
Sam Laporta was placed on IR, so he did not play. So um no statistics on that. Missed out on your love of Tez Johnson. Disappointing afternoon for him.
00:11:07
Roger Emeka
yeah
00:11:07
Nacc
You did ah hit on Trey Tucker.
00:11:10
Nacc
um Luckily, he got that touchdown to towards the end of the game.
00:11:13
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:11:15
Nacc
Missed out massively on the Troy yeah McMillan, who had a two touchdown.
00:11:20
Fab
Yeah.
00:11:21
Nacc
Massive afternoon for him.
00:11:22
Roger Emeka
Huge game. i sat him I saw him in another league.
00:11:26
Nacc
ah Yeah, well, usually that's what happens we're on our love-hates.
00:11:27
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:11:27
Fab
as As well you should have.
00:11:28
Fab
I'm sorry. Everyone raise their hand here who expected Rice Young to have a 450-yard passing game against a very good secondary in Atlanta Falcons.
00:11:35
Nacc
Yeah, I did not have that on my bingo card.
00:11:38
Roger Emeka
Yeah. Yeah.
00:11:42
Fab
Seriously.
00:11:42
Nacc
You did hit on the Romeo Dobbs hate. I missed out on RJ Harvey. Pretty disappointing performance on his part with JK Dobbins now on IR. Did hit on sha Sean Tucker excused me with his three touchdown afternoon.
00:11:58
Nacc
Missed out on my love of Jonu Smith, who put up a nice goose egg. i Did hit on the Saquon Barkley hate and missed out on Tyrone Tracy.
00:12:08
Nacc
Both but running backs in the Giants were over 15 points this weekend, which was another thing I did not have on my bingo card.
00:12:14
Fab
Against like it's a good Green Bay run defense too. Mm-hmm.
00:12:19
Nacc
Yes, yes, that was very unexpected. But those were our love-hates from Week 11, looking to do better in Week 12. So let's let's jump right ah straight into our Week 12 picks.
00:12:32
Nacc
Raj will kick things off with his takes on the quarterbacks. Fab will be up next to break down the top running back options. And I'll wrap it up with the wide receiver analysis.
00:12:43
Nacc
And then to close things out, as always, we'll spotlight three tight ends who ah stand out for better or for worse. ah heading into this week's matchups. and Before we begin, just a quick reminder, don't forget the Broncos, Chargers, Dolphins, and Commanders are all on by, so make sure those lineups are set with that in mind.
00:13:02
Nacc
So without further ado, Raj, take it away with the quarterbacks you love and hate for Week 12. well
00:13:08
Roger Emeka
Thank you, Nak. There are a lot of QB matchups I love this week. In particular, the aforementioned Bryce Young, QB 19 at san francisco San Francisco. And another guy we talked about on the pre-show, Jacoby Brissett, QB 10 at Jacksonville. So let's start with Bryce Young.
00:13:23
Roger Emeka
Almost 40 points last week versus one of the top pass defenses in terms of pressure rate. um And we see this year that he's going to place the Niners. The Niners are allowing the last four weeks the second most points to QBs.
00:13:36
Roger Emeka
They have the worst pressure rate in the league, and they allowed Jacoby Brissett to get 45 completions for 452 yards last last week. So we know with Bryce Young, this is kind of the time of the year where he starts to heap heat up.
00:13:50
Roger Emeka
If you look at last week last year from week 12 and on, he was the QB 11, averaging 21 fantasy points per game. I feel the late season Bryce Young surgence has begun again, and I think we're going to see him continue that against the 49ers.
00:14:06
Roger Emeka
And if we look at Jacoby Brissett, he's the QB four in the last three weeks. So he's really sparked life into the Cardinals offense. As I mentioned, he completed 45 passes last week, only 10 in completions.
00:14:17
Roger Emeka
um The Cardinals have allowed 85 points over the last two weeks. So they're always in positive game scripts for their offense. It's garbage time, but it counts. And if you look at the Jaguars, they've allowed 27 fantasy points in the last three games, 27 fantasy points per game the last three games to QBs, 11 TDs. So that's the second most in the league. So I really like Bryce and Brissette over the likes of Jared Goff, Daniel Jones, Sam Darnold, and even Caleb Williams this week.
00:14:48
Nacc
Yeah, but it was it was actually 47 completions for Brissette, an NFL record.
00:14:49
Fab
ah
00:14:49
Roger Emeka
And I'm going
00:14:53
Roger Emeka
47. Yes. Yes. Yes. yes yes um
00:14:56
Fab
I would be hard-pressed to find, apart from like the top five quarterbacks that everyone always starts every single week, I'd be hard-pressed to find like a few more guys before Jacoby Brissett that I would be starting every week right now. The guy's playing like a man on fire.
00:15:11
Roger Emeka
I think it has an expiry date, but I think i think you you roll with it until that expiry date hits.
00:15:13
Fab
ah Yeah.
00:15:17
Fab
You have no choice.
00:15:17
Nacc
For sure, you have no choice.
00:15:18
Roger Emeka
you haven't You really haven't.
00:15:18
Fab
You have no choice.
00:15:19
Roger Emeka
He's on quite a heater right now.
00:15:20
Nacc
No choice.
00:15:21
Fab
Yeah.
00:15:21
Roger Emeka
ah So for the QBs I hate this week, I have Sam Darnold QB 14 against the Titans, and Daniel Jones could be 12 at the home of the Chiefs. So for Sam Darnold, it's been a really awful...
00:15:32
Roger Emeka
three out the last four weeks, 10 points versus Houston, six versus Arizona, and eight versus the Rams. Titans defense is middle the pack in all facets in terms of fantasy points to QBs and pressure rate, but they've surprisingly been very competitive in their last two games against Houston, and I believe it was against the Chargers. So Darnold, outside of the four touchdown games he's had versus Tampa Bay and at like ah excuse me and Washington this year, he's at nine TDs and eight INTs on the year.
00:16:01
Roger Emeka
It's giving me Kurt Cousins 2024 vibes where the only good games he had were versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
00:16:03
Nacc
Thank
00:16:09
Roger Emeka
I much prefer Jackson Dart and, as mentioned, Bryce Young over him.
00:16:13
Fab
Mm-hmm.
00:16:14
Roger Emeka
and And then for Daniel Jones, I think for Jones... It's more of a fade than pure hate. And this is really mostly because of the Chiefs defense. So the KC defense has allowed one of the lowest ah touchdown rates to quarterbacks this year with nine touchdowns.
00:16:28
Roger Emeka
And they've ah they've allowed they've they've offered the nine INTs to quarterbacks. So... It's not indictment on Jones, but more so how good the Chiefs chief's defense is at limiting fantasy QBs. If Jones were to perform above expectation, it'll be on the ground where the Chiefs allow the second most rushing attempts to QBs, the sixth most rushing yards to QBs, and the most rushing TDs to QBs this season. So I still expect Jones to have a more of a pedestrian game against the Chiefs defense, ah but he's more of a fade than ah pure, pure hate in my opinion.
00:17:03
Fab
Fair call, fair call. KC always, there's always a tough defense to play against, I think, right? And you're typically always playing catch-up against that offense anyways. So yeah, I don't disagree with the hate on Indiana Jones.
00:17:15
Roger Emeka
And it's very conservative.
00:17:16
Nacc
Yeah, they they limited Bo Nix last week as well. So it was very modest very modest fantasy points-wise.
00:17:19
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:17:19
Fab
Yeah, yeah.
00:17:24
Nacc
So no great analysis there, Raj. Thank you for the QBs. um Fab, why don't you keep the the party going here and let us know what running backs you love and hate this week.
00:17:39
Fab
Ladies and gentlemen, we're putting our best foot forward. going to to do better than one in four last year. Okay, so just bear with me for a second. I got David Montgomery versus the New York football Giants as one of my loves. And the other one being Brees Hall versus Baltimore.
00:17:51
Roger Emeka
Mm-hmm.
00:17:53
Fab
So David Montgomery, and listen, such a juicy matchup. and It's hard to pass up. The Giants have been gashed all season, giving up the third most fancy points to running backs. And Monty, although ranked this week as a fringe RB2 flex play, as Fantasy Pros has him at RB24, I think he benefits from some serious positive game script this week.
00:18:10
Fab
I like him as a starter in all formats, and I slot him in ahead of guys like Kareem Hunt, Ashton Gentry, DeAndre Swift, even Aaron Jones Sr., who are all currently ranked ahead of him.
00:18:22
Fab
It's hard not to start Montgomery versus the Giants versus in a fantastic matchup.
00:18:27
Roger Emeka
Gentey is just a spot by like sentimental value because of where you drafted him, but it's it's just not looking good.
00:18:35
Fab
Yeah.
00:18:35
Nacc
Yeah, it becomes the guy with the name, right?
00:18:35
Roger Emeka
And he has no room to run.
00:18:36
Fab
No, it's not.
00:18:37
Nacc
It becomes like the name.
00:18:39
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:18:39
Fab
No, it's it's not even his fault, to be honest with you. We're going to get into that a little bit later on, though, don't worry.
00:18:42
Nacc
That team is... That team is...
00:18:45
Fab
we got We got Brees Hall versus Baltimore, so i don't think Brees is getting enough love this year in what is another new york another lost Jets season.
00:18:53
Roger Emeka
Hmm.
00:18:55
Fab
He's currently RB14 on the year and RB6 in the last four weeks. It's wild, huh? He's ranked Garby 17 versus a bad Baltimore defense that has been very kind to running backs, giving up the 10th most fantasy points to running backs.
00:19:07
Fab
I like him a lot this week, and I like him even more now that Ty God Taylor is back and calling the plays. I expect him to get a lot of work this week and easily outperform his ranking and projected points, since we also look at projected points.
00:19:21
Fab
um Guys ahead of him that I'd start briefs over are the aforementioned Janty, Judkins, Woody Marks.
00:19:25
Nacc
Yeah. Yeah, we need to.
00:19:28
Roger Emeka
yeah
00:19:29
Fab
Woody Marks has a tough matchup. Travis Etienne, Warren, and the DeAndre Swift as well. I think he's ah another must-start for me, and and I love the matchup.
00:19:41
Nacc
yeah
00:19:42
Roger Emeka
but I don't know about Warren, depending on if he plays, but ah definitely Woody Marks. so Definitely.
00:19:48
Fab
warren Warren does have a good matchup, but it's also yeah I think it's a little more injury-dependent there in that regard.
00:19:49
Nacc
yeah
00:19:50
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:19:53
Roger Emeka
Yeah, for sure.
00:19:55
Fab
because even gain I like Gainwell a lot this week, actually.
00:19:57
Roger Emeka
Yes. He's surprisingly really good, and it's it's crazy how much...
00:20:01
Fab
It's not surprising.
00:20:02
Nacc
He's great patch catcher.
00:20:03
Roger Emeka
No, great pass catcher, and feel like even even when he was in Philly before Saquon got there, he was getting a lot of goal line work, like with Boston Scott too, and and for a little guy, he's he's pretty good in short yardage situations.
00:20:04
Fab
It's not surprising to me. Yeah.
00:20:08
Fab
ye Yeah. Yeah. I remember vividly the year that the Giants made the playoffs with Daniel Jones and in the second round when they went up against Philly and got completely destroyed and outmatched.
00:20:24
Fab
Kenneth Gainwell had a monster game.
00:20:26
Roger Emeka
Hmm. Yeah.
00:20:27
Nacc
So that was one of the reasons why Mike Tomlin wanted Gainwell, because he destroyed them in a game versus Philly last year.
00:20:35
Fab
Yeah.
00:20:36
Nacc
got absolutely He absolutely destroyed us.
00:20:39
Fab
Yeah.
00:20:39
Nacc
um Passing game and and even in the running game, I think he scored two touchdowns that game as well.
00:20:45
Roger Emeka
I remember that game.
00:20:45
Fab
yeah
00:20:46
Nacc
Yeah, they got they got absolutely manhandled, and he said it.
00:20:46
Roger Emeka
remember that game.
00:20:46
Fab
Yeah.
00:20:50
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:20:51
Nacc
That was one of the reasons why they signed Gainwell this year.
00:20:54
Roger Emeka
Yeah, i remember that game.
00:20:57
Fab
100%.
00:20:57
Fab
my hates for the week are Ashton Gentry versus Cleveland and Kareem Hunt versus Indianapolis. ah So Ashingenti, I mean, listen, he's ranked right now as RB16, which is way too high um with fantasy pros. He's a fringe RB2, to be honest with you, in my opinion.
00:21:17
Fab
um Cleveland D are good. You know, just ask Myles Garrett. ah Giving you up the fifth least fantasy points to running backs, and the Raiders O-line is very, really, like, it's not bueno. It's not good at all.
00:21:29
Fab
Dallas' D-line ran rampant on them this past week, and I wouldn't be surprised if we see the same outcome ah versus the Raiders again this week. Gentry, like I said, is a flex play at best for me. I don't like this matchup, even with its high usage. He's tough to trust in that ah offense right now, and there's a lot of other guys I prefer over him, like the aforementioned Brees and Montgomery, ah Kenneth Walker, and just to name a few right there.
00:21:52
Fab
um I'm not a fan of this at all, this matchup.
00:21:55
Nacc
I wonder if they bench Gino.
00:21:57
Fab
I was thinking about that actually as I was walking watching the game. Even though he finished as QB 16, so he was a startable quarterback this week.
00:22:05
Roger Emeka
they need to bend They need to bench the OC, like Chip Kelly.
00:22:05
Fab
um
00:22:06
Nacc
Yeah,
00:22:08
Fab
Yeah, not working out, eh?
00:22:09
Roger Emeka
It's been awful.
00:22:09
Nacc
I'm not working out.
00:22:11
Fab
No.
00:22:11
Nacc
but Even, even who's with coach?
00:22:12
Roger Emeka
And I was telling...
00:22:13
Fab
But
00:22:14
Nacc
the What's his name? Who's the coach?
00:22:16
Roger Emeka
Pete Carroll?
00:22:17
Fab
Pete Carroll.
00:22:17
Nacc
Pete Carroll. Yeah. Like, I don't know.
00:22:20
Roger Emeka
looks a bit he but He looks lost.
00:22:20
Nacc
Yeah, man. Right.
00:22:21
Roger Emeka
He looks out of it.
00:22:21
Nacc
Like, yeah.
00:22:22
Roger Emeka
He looks out of it a bit.
00:22:22
Fab
He's been chewing too much gum.
00:22:24
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:22:25
Fab
Yeah, but it's... but What are you expecting to do with that offensive line? Like, I'm not saying it's... Blame Gino for everything. You saw the press conference where he's like, blame me for your kid.
00:22:33
Roger Emeka
I agree.
00:22:35
Nacc
Fair. That's fair.
00:22:35
Fab
Blame me for this. Blame me for that. Blame me for everything.
00:22:38
Roger Emeka
That's awful. Like, that's like, that's like the reverse accountability, like
00:22:40
Fab
Yeah.
00:22:42
Nacc
That was the worst. That was a very bad press conference.
00:22:45
Fab
Yeah, wasn't... was And I'm saying this as I'm wearing a Raiders shirt. um Yeah, it's not the...
00:22:49
Nacc
guess I talked to Tua before the game.
00:22:52
Fab
It's Max Crosby. gotta give some love to Max Crosby. Uh, Kareem hunt versus in Indianapolis. So another tough matchup for RB ranked a little bit too high for my like liking. He's currently ranked RB 23 and fancy pearls on a PPR and hunts been pretty serviceable at times this year so far.
00:23:08
Fab
Right. But I wouldn't bet on him this week versus Indy giving up the 11th fewest fancy points to running backs. He's another consideration, um, to bench. If you have better options, I just, and just like Jenty, like a lot of guys above him that are ranked above him or right around him, over,
00:23:15
Nacc
Thank you.
00:23:24
Fab
Um, so I'm, it's not another, I'm not super excited about starting cream hunt this week. I mean, David Montgomery is ranked as RB 24. Much rather have him as Zach Charbonnet. Much rather have him like even give me Tyron Tracy, honestly at RB 27 versus Detroit. Like you saw what they did last week versus a tough green Bay defense. You know what? He's going to get the rock. He's going to get usage.
00:23:43
Fab
Um, I much prefer that over cream hunts. I think with cream hunt, you're banking that he falls into the end zone for him to save your fancy day.
00:23:50
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:23:50
Nacc
Yeah. But he, that's the thing is, it's like he, like he often does.
00:23:51
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:23:53
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:23:53
Nacc
I don't know I like the Tyron Tracy going against Detroit that, that, that line is, um, is pretty.
00:23:54
Fab
Yeah.
00:23:58
Fab
Well, that
00:23:59
Nacc
And they, they obviously held, they obviously held Saquon in check, uh, as well on, uh,
00:24:03
Fab
aye that doesn't mean much for me, though, because Saquon Barkley doesn't look like himself this week this year. like he's only had The only one good game he had, and maybe he had another one, but the one good game that I remember that he had was against the Giants, where he ran rampant. Ever since then, he's barely cracked 70 yards a game.
00:24:20
Roger Emeka
Is Pacheco supposed to be back?
00:24:22
Fab
And I think so.
00:24:24
Nacc
I don't know if he's, I think he was absent from practice to start the week.
00:24:31
Fab
Attendez une minute, s'il vous plaît. Sorry, that's ah give me one second for our non-French listeners. Apologies. um Yeah, there's no news yet.
00:24:38
Roger Emeka
But I agree. like I think Kareem Hunt, three straight games with a touchdown, <unk>s it's definitely banking on the TD, but he's...
00:24:44
Nacc
He gets gets the goal line work, right?
00:24:44
Fab
Yeah.
00:24:44
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:24:46
Fab
But he gets to go and let him work, right?
00:24:46
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:24:46
Nacc
He's always the goal line back and he always seems to find the end zone.
00:24:52
Fab
And those are my ah running backs for the week.
00:24:52
Nacc
Thanks, Fab.
00:24:55
Fab
Let's hope we do a little bit better than Let's hope. but so
00:24:57
Roger Emeka
ah lot A lot safer this week,
Wide Receivers to Love and Avoid
00:24:59
Roger Emeka
Fab. Good. I think it's good.
00:25:00
Fab
Yeah, I mean, I was going to say...
00:25:00
Roger Emeka
You went a lot safer.
00:25:00
Nacc
Yeah.
00:25:01
Fab
Oh, wait, no, I have another honorable mention. um
00:25:04
Nacc
There he is.
00:25:04
Fab
i hate um Christian McCaffrey this week. No, kidding.
00:25:10
Roger Emeka
Speaking of not helping anyone.
00:25:12
Nacc
we're going to edit that out.
00:25:12
Fab
Yeah, speaking of not helping anyone. Guys, fa fade CMC this week, okay? It's tough matchup versus Carolina. Fade CMC.
00:25:19
Roger Emeka
it It is.
00:25:19
Fab
You should pick up Bryan Robinson Jr.
00:25:20
Roger Emeka
It actually is. It it actually is. I mean, bija Bijan went off, but actually the the Panthers have been a really good run defense.
00:25:26
Nacc
i think they're better against the pass, but yeah.
00:25:28
Fab
Yeah, they're better against the pass.
00:25:31
Nacc
Thanks, Fab, for the running backs, and I will keep it going with the wide receivers. So the wide receivers I love this week are going to be Rome Odunze, wide receiver 19, and Jamison Williams, wide receiver 20 versus the Giants.
00:25:38
Fab
Thank you.
00:25:46
Nacc
So Odunze has not been consistent over the last four to five weeks. in In week eight and ten, he had ten targets in each week and had 18 and 20 points respectively.
00:25:56
Nacc
But then in week 9 and 11, he had 9 total targets for 6.1 total fantasy points. But he does now get his juiciest matchup of the season, a home date with the Pittsburgh Steelers, who although have been playing a little bit better on D the past two weeks, continue to be generous towards wide receivers.
00:26:14
Nacc
They have allowed at least one wide receiver to hit double-digit fantasy points in all but two games this season, so I am starting Romo Dunze with great confidence.
00:26:24
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:26:25
Fab
Yes.
00:26:26
Nacc
Then I go to Mr. Jamison Williams, a wide receiver 20 versus the Giants.
00:26:29
Fab
yes
00:26:31
Nacc
So he has been on an absolute tear as of late and has had had three TDs in in the three straight games. Sorry, a TD in three straight games. And ever since Dan Campbell took over the play calling, Jamo has seen a minimum of seven targets in each of those games. And his season average was just just above four.
00:26:50
Nacc
So they finally recognize they have another talent they need to exploit. And he's outperformed Amon Ra over the past three weeks as well um with half of the targets. So he's had, i think, 17 and Amon Ra's at 33.
00:27:04
Nacc
um This week he gets to feast on a defense that has allowed on average of 40 points to the wide receiver position over the last four weeks. So he has the wide receiver one potential this week.
00:27:16
Nacc
And I like both these players over the likes of Wanda Robinson, who's going as wide receiver 17, Michael Pittman Jr., wide receiver 15, and even Zay Flowers, wide receiver 21.
00:27:28
Fab
J-Mo should be a lineup lock for the rest of the season, and it's not even close. He should be should be like knocking on the door of wide receiver one with this usage, with the way they're being used right now within this offense.
00:27:40
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:27:43
Fab
You saw in the last two games, not to touch not to take too much for point, but like it's been ah revelation. And Campbell has always loved Jameson Williams, always, since the moment he got drafted.
00:27:56
Fab
So this is this is the last time he's going to be on on the love list, I think, because he's going to be a solid star week in, week out.
00:28:01
Roger Emeka
yeah
00:28:03
Fab
like honestly he's gonna this guy is Honestly, we say this a lot, but I wouldn't be surprised if he turns into a league winner for a lot of people.
00:28:04
Nacc
yeah
00:28:11
Nacc
Yeah, and there was there was a time there where everyone was kind of writing him off and I think all of us had our moments with that.
00:28:14
Fab
Yep.
00:28:17
Nacc
He had a tough start to the season, but I mean, as of late, I i think they're finally they're finally <unk> playing him how he's supposed to be played and they're actually giving him targets where he's not just a deep ball or deep threat guy.
00:28:28
Fab
Yep.
00:28:30
Roger Emeka
Exactly. Well,
00:28:31
Nacc
So
00:28:31
Fab
And, and a hundred percent.
00:28:31
Nacc
I think Dan Campbell has unlocked something with Damo.
00:28:35
Fab
And you know who hates this right now? All the Amon Ra owners right now. They're not a fan of this whatsoever.
00:28:42
Nacc
He's still going to get his his, you know, his his his games.
00:28:42
Roger Emeka
well
00:28:45
Nacc
And he's still obviously the the the number one guy there. But it's just that he's doing, he's, he's,
00:28:49
Fab
Is he the number one guy?
00:28:50
Roger Emeka
No, amen ra every year, Amon Ra goes through like a one to three week stretch where he's like, he only got two targets. I'm i'm looking at it even last year. like He had a game where he just got two targets and then he had two straight games of like seven and seven targets. And then he goes back to 18 target game, 10 target game, 11 target game. So this is par for the course with what they do.
00:29:13
Nacc
Yeah, I mean, look, he's so he's still looked over the last five games.
00:29:13
Roger Emeka
I wouldn't be afraid. I wouldn't be worried about this.
00:29:17
Nacc
He's had 10 targets, 10 targets, 13 targets, 8 targets, 12 targets. But last week it was 12 targets, only two receptions, which is, that's what was the concerning part.
00:29:28
Roger Emeka
what i What I would be...
00:29:29
Fab
True. Yes.
00:29:33
Roger Emeka
Actually, like, I'm looking at... The thing I'd be worried about is Jared Goff, but he he doesn't have many more games in the outdoors. He just has the Bears, and he has the Bears in Week 18. And, he like, he has the Rams in a dome.
00:29:48
Roger Emeka
Jared Goff was very bad last game, and he doesn't...
00:29:50
Nacc
Very bad.
00:29:51
Fab
yes
00:29:52
Roger Emeka
it it's He's back to bad Jared Goff against pressure. Like, The Eagles pressured him and he did not play well. And then he has the small hand, so he has to wear the gloves. And with the really bad conditions, he could not get the ball off last week at all. So I think if there's anyone to worry about, it's you know how Jared Goff performs against teams with pressure like the Green Bay Packers, like the Rams, ah Minnesota as well. So those are going to be some interesting games to see how he performs then.
00:30:19
Fab
you're You're right, but all those games are in a dome or in good weather, like for the rest of the season. Giants, it's in Detroit. Green Bay is in Detroit. Dallas is in Detroit. The Rams is good, like fair conditions, like very warm conditions.
00:30:31
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:30:32
Nacc
through you
00:30:32
Fab
Pittsburgh in Detroit. At Minnesota, they're in a dome. Yep.
00:30:36
Nacc
They have three three straight home games coming up right now, which is rare to see.
00:30:39
Fab
Yep.
00:30:39
Nacc
So numbers can be inflated there.
00:30:41
Fab
ye
00:30:43
Nacc
Those are my loves for the week. My wide receivers that I hate this week are going to be Khalil Shakir, wide receiver 25 at the Texans, and Ricky Purcell, wide receiver 34 versus the Panthers.
00:30:56
Nacc
So I will start with Mr. Shakir. In a game where not only did the Bills bench Keon Coleman, ah Josh Allen scored a total of six TDs, and Khalil's stat line was one catch for negative three yards on three targets.
00:31:10
Nacc
So after three straight weeks in double digits, he could not reward fantasy managers in a shootout win. And while things don't get much better in week 12, as he gets a Houston Texans defense who are giving up an average of 18 points to wide receivers over the past four weeks,
00:31:26
Nacc
and second least on the season. So very difficult spot to put up, you know, to put that awful performance behind you. um I like wide receivers like Alec Pierce and even Christian Watson ahead of Khalil Shakir this week.
00:31:43
Fab
I agree. Very tough matchup.
00:31:44
Roger Emeka
that Josh Allen has six touchdowns and clear Shakira has three targets and a reception.
00:31:50
Fab
Yeah.
00:31:50
Roger Emeka
That's, that's like, that's Bill's football.
00:31:50
Nacc
Yeah, it's, it's, it's, it's wild.
00:31:52
Fab
Well, it's because their number one wide receiver is their tight end.
00:31:53
Nacc
wild
00:31:56
Fab
And Dalton can...
00:31:56
Nacc
and and And Coleman was not there. That was like they were playing with misfits out there.
00:31:59
Fab
Yeah.
00:32:00
Nacc
And McCole Harmon also got injured during the game as well.
00:32:03
Fab
Yeah.
00:32:04
Nacc
It was so weird to see.
00:32:05
Roger Emeka
Yeah, there was, There was a guy, though, Sorrell.
00:32:11
Roger Emeka
David something. He had like four for 88 with a touchdown.
00:32:14
Nacc
Yes, yes, there's a guy who, yeah. Yeah, I forget his, I do forget his name.
00:32:17
Roger Emeka
I want to get it.
00:32:19
Nacc
um But there is a Bills wide receiver that balled out.
00:32:23
Fab
um Hold on a second. I'll give you his information.
00:32:26
Roger Emeka
Tyrell Shavers.
00:32:27
Nacc
That's Shavers.
00:32:27
Fab
Tyrell Shavers.
00:32:28
Nacc
Shavers, that's what it is.
00:32:30
Fab
Yeah. He caught four for 90, one touchdown.
00:32:31
Nacc
Yep.
00:32:34
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:32:35
Nacc
Yep.
00:32:35
Fab
Even Elijah Moore.
00:32:38
Roger Emeka
e
00:32:38
Nacc
Yeah, i was that was just terrible that you couldn't get Shakir involved in ah in a game like that.
00:32:44
Nacc
Second hate this week is Ricky Prasal versus the Panthers. So he was on the he was on the field for 75% of the snaps in his return and he could only muster up The zero yards on one reception and three targets.
00:32:59
Nacc
It's not exactly what everyone was looking for after he's missed the last six weeks. The Panthers have allowed an average of 24 points to the wide receiver position over the last four weeks, but the majority of those points are to the WR1.
00:33:11
Nacc
So for the moment, that currently belongs to Jennings. And although you can make a case for Kittle and CMC, who also command a lot of the targets, it's difficult to spot the production this week once again.
00:33:25
Nacc
And I think I'm going even with um going with wide receivers like DJ Moore, ah even Jerry Judy, wide receiver 35, and like Josh Downs too, over Ricky Persall.
00:33:33
Roger Emeka
Oh, God.
00:33:36
Fab
Josh Downs, I can see.
00:33:37
Roger Emeka
Yeah, yeah.
00:33:39
Fab
i can see. Because Josh Downs is he's pretty decent for a touchdown.
00:33:42
Roger Emeka
Yes.
00:33:43
Fab
jerry You know, but Jerry Judy is not...
00:33:45
Nacc
Judy?
00:33:45
Fab
a Hold on a second.
00:33:45
Nacc
Judy?
00:33:46
Fab
Jerry Judy is not that bad of a call because, lest we forget, he did get 10 targets.
00:33:50
Nacc
Sanders. standards Sanders is going to come in this week.
00:33:52
Roger Emeka
I had Jerry Judy last week.
00:33:54
Fab
No.
00:33:54
Roger Emeka
it was It was awful.
00:33:54
Fab
Yeah, Sanders is going to come in. i don't know if that's an indictment on Sanders or not.
00:33:56
Roger Emeka
He dropped like He dropped like three passes. Jerry Judy has like a 22% drop rate. it's like it's It's embarrassing so far this year. And Ricky...
00:34:05
Nacc
He has not been great, but I don't aspire a lot of confidence in Prasal, that's for sure.
00:34:05
Fab
it's going to... it's
00:34:07
Roger Emeka
No.
00:34:07
Fab
going to get worse with Sanders.
00:34:10
Roger Emeka
First, he's Joey injury, man.
00:34:11
Fab
No, but...
00:34:12
Roger Emeka
It's like, like let's get...
00:34:12
Fab
Yeah.
00:34:14
Roger Emeka
He got shot the first few games okay like last year. Or in the offseason.
00:34:18
Nacc
Yeah, but then he he played well.
00:34:19
Roger Emeka
He played well, but it's injury.
00:34:20
Fab
Yeah, no.
00:34:20
Roger Emeka
and it's like You got to get going now.
00:34:23
Nacc
Yeah.
00:34:24
Fab
No, I think he's going to take a game or two to ramp up. Like, after this week, I think we're going to start to see more or less what he was in the beginning of the year.
00:34:32
Nacc
I don't think so.
00:34:32
Roger Emeka
It's a PCL, though.
00:34:33
Fab
Yeah, I think so.
00:34:34
Roger Emeka
he might He might not be the same. And and and Brandon Ayuk is supposed to come back. And speaking of Joey injury.
00:34:39
Nacc
And Kittle's commanding.
00:34:40
Fab
Is
00:34:42
Nacc
Yeah, i don't know I don't know how close Ayuk is to to returning. i don't even I don't even think they've opened his practice window as yet.
00:34:49
Fab
No, i haven't I haven't heard anything about that.
00:34:49
Roger Emeka
No, you're right. No, I haven't. haven't.
00:34:51
Nacc
Yeah, yeah. That'll do it for the wide receivers, ladies and gentlemen. Raj, why don't you give us a tight end you love or hate this week?
Supporting Chigakonguo's Matchup
00:35:00
Roger Emeka
One of my favorite tight ends ever. Anyone who's listened to this pod knows Juwan Johnson and Chigakong Kuo are guys I cannot quit. So I'm happy to see that Juwan has been a revelation this season.
00:35:11
Roger Emeka
So my first love, Chigakonguo, tight end 28. Chigakonguo has topped 50 yards in the last two of three games, and they face a Seahawks defense whose weakness is against tight ends, allowing the seventh most fantasy points this year.
00:35:23
Roger Emeka
And with Calvin Ridley out for the season, Elik Ayomanor and Chimire Dike, both nursing injuries, I think this could be Chig's breakout game. I don't know if you guys saw, he had a sick over-the-shoulder catch against the Texans. It was like for like 30, 40 yards, like an amazing, amazing catch.
00:35:41
Roger Emeka
ah in week 11. um So I think that they don't have anyone else they could really target. So I think he could be a really good spot start for for some flows.
00:35:48
Fab
and Because all of their starting wide receivers are injured. Ridley's out for the season.
00:35:51
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:35:53
Fab
DK, I think, got hurt as well, right?
00:35:55
Roger Emeka
Yeah, they all got hurt. i know' TBD, like we'll see tomorrow and like whos who practices, but I think this is this has to be the the time for him, and i think it could be a very good spot start.
00:36:06
Nacc
I like this one.
00:36:07
Fab
Yeah.
00:36:07
Nacc
I like this one.
00:36:08
Fab
Me too.
00:36:09
Nacc
Fab, what about you? Love or hate on the tight end?
00:36:10
Fab
I got AJ Barner. I got AJ Barner versus Tennessee. So give me those 11 targets last week. Let's go. And he's also been getting some tush push love to like fire him up, man. Like tight end 17.
00:36:21
Fab
He's definitely worth the flyer this week with some, with some tight ends on by, right? So it might not be the, the most ideal matchup versus Tennessee. It's an average mashup, but at the same time, the usage is very interesting to me. And if you're,
00:36:35
Fab
Looking for a a tight end flyer, I think you could do much worse than AJ Barner. I like him over some of the tougher time of matchins ah matchups this week. Like ah Kate Auten has a pretty tough matchup again versus the Rams. Dalton Schultz, Steele Johnson, and even Juwan Johnson. Juwan Johnson versus Atlanta is not something I'm very excited about.
00:36:51
Fab
ah But yeah, AJ Barner. If you're not going to start him, pick him up. Because I think he's worth a roster spot because you don't know what can turn into.
00:37:01
Nacc
Interesting. Thank you, Fab. I will end us off here with a tight end I hate this week.
Critique on Kyle Pitts' Performance
00:37:08
Nacc
It's going to be roger your boy, Kyle Pitts, tight end 11 at the Saints.
00:37:14
Nacc
So I know drake everyone's going to say, oh, well, Drake London is out and Pitts immediately becomes a tight end for week 12. Well, not so fast. he's He's been downright putrid over the last three weeks, scoring less fantasy points in each week and has not put up double-digit points since week 8.
00:37:29
Nacc
He only has one TD on the year. Surprise, surprise. And that came back all the way back in week four. So Raj, I'm officially done trying to defend him. I'm definitely on the Kyle Pitts is done train.
00:37:44
Nacc
The Saints are kind of middle of the pack versus the the tight ends, but Kirk Cousins starting doesn't really move the needle for me. And I can't imagine putting... putting up numbers. Everyone thinks he will. So I'm looking for, I'm looking at another letdown game for pits and give me my Mark Andrews or even Harold Hannafin or Harold Fanet jr. Um, ahead of Kyle pits this week.
00:38:07
Fab
Yeah. And what can we expect from Kirk Cousins this week, realistically?
00:38:12
Roger Emeka
Oh.
00:38:14
Nacc
He's, he's like, if someone tells me he's done, he's like worse than done.
00:38:20
Fab
he's He's done with a capital D-O-N-E. Yeah.
00:38:24
Nacc
Yeah, he just looks brutal.
00:38:24
Fab
100%.
00:38:27
Nacc
He's the smartest man in the NFL, and his agent deserves all the praise in the world because he's made him a very, very rich man.
00:38:31
Fab
Yeah. hundred percent
00:38:36
Fab
yeah is Is he the most winningest monetarily wise of all the quarterbacks right now?
00:38:42
Nacc
i think I think it's Rodgers or Stafford.
00:38:46
Roger Emeka
And Russell Wilson, too, no? Who's up there?
00:38:48
Nacc
Close, but I don't think i think it's Rodgers or Stafford who owns the top top spot.
00:38:49
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:38:51
Fab
Hold on, this requires a Google search.
00:38:54
Roger Emeka
Just for the tight ends, too. Sneaky good one on Hunter Henry against the Bengals. I don't know if he went off like we said he was going to.
00:38:59
Nacc
Yeah, I like that. Yeah.
00:39:01
Roger Emeka
He went ah four for 45. But think that's another one that would be way better than Pitts. And yeah, for Pitts, it's just allergic to the end zone. This guy just cannot get into the end zone. He's allergic to touchdowns.
00:39:13
Roger Emeka
And yeah, I've been telling you guys. Join the club.
00:39:17
Fab
Just quickly, so the most earnings for quarterbacks ever in history. Matthew Stafford is number one with $391 million. Tom Brady, sorry, a and Aaron Rodgers has $394 million on his career.
00:39:27
Nacc
yeah
00:39:28
Fab
Tom Brady, $332 million. Kirk Cousins, $331 million.
00:39:31
Nacc
Yeah, he was definitely in the top five for sure.
00:39:33
Roger Emeka
Just crazy.
00:39:33
Nacc
I just I didn't know who fool was first but but but between Stafford and Rogers.
00:39:38
Roger Emeka
Has he even made ah a championship?
00:39:38
Nacc
I knew was one of the.
00:39:39
Roger Emeka
Has he made a championship?
00:39:41
Nacc
No.
00:39:41
Fab
Like an NFC championship game?
00:39:43
Roger Emeka
NFC?
00:39:43
Nacc
I don't think so.
00:39:43
Roger Emeka
Yeah, he's only been the fc NFC.
00:39:45
Fab
He's only been in the NFC.
00:39:45
Roger Emeka
Yeah. yeah No.
00:39:46
Fab
I don't think so.
00:39:47
Nacc
I don't think so either. Even with Minnesota, I don't think so.
00:39:48
Roger Emeka
What a swindle job.
00:39:50
Fab
Oh my God.
00:39:50
Nacc
Yeah. Yeah. Very, very well done by that agent.
00:39:53
Fab
Yeah. Good for him. Honestly, good for him. Good for his wife. Good for his, the J crew that he, the only buys from or whatever old Navy in his closet. They're like, yeah get a million and one plaid shirts.
00:40:04
Fab
Cause nothing, nothing.
00:40:05
Roger Emeka
What's wrong with J.Crew?
00:40:08
Fab
I wish I can afford it. I can't clearly he can because he has $331 million dollars in the bank.
00:40:12
Nacc
You can afford J.Crew.
00:40:14
Roger Emeka
Yeah, seriously, man.
00:40:15
Fab
not and not not Not with the U S exchange.
00:40:17
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:40:17
Fab
I can't,
00:40:18
Nacc
It's not expensive.
