00:00:10
Dakota Zeigler
Live crowds back this week.
00:00:13
Ninja
love it. Welcome back to the ZNG Dynasty Podcast. And as per usual now, the ninja. Is your glorious host again. We've heard the comments. We heard everything. You guys want the ninja. So guess what? We're here to deliver
00:00:28
Ninja
And nothing has changed. On the other side of the mic. I'm looking at one beautiful guy right here. And that's Lord Hinkey. How you doing buddy?
00:00:35
Dakota Zeigler
Yes, sir. oh I'm doing great. I'm doing incredible. Back on the ones and twos here on my side of things, so you're going to be hearing an obnoxious amount of production sounds, because really that's all I get to do this podcast anymore. But I love it.
00:00:47
Dakota Zeigler
I love our new roles, and we talked about it last week. I'm cool being the producer, you know, a little side piece. I'm cool with this. be
00:00:55
Ninja
I love you being my little side piece. Clip it. We might see Zig eventually in this podcast if
00:00:59
Dakota Zeigler
determined.
Green Bay Packers vs Lions Analysis
00:01:00
Ninja
he decides to start caring.
00:01:02
Ninja
You know?
00:01:02
Dakota Zeigler
To be determined.
00:01:03
Ninja
about us anymore I doubt it yeah bomb but anyways the we start off with the goods and the bads we don't do the studs in the dust because we're not corny like that but our first
00:01:17
Dakota Zeigler
hey
00:01:18
Ninja
goods of the weak is that green bay offense jordan love octavian wix
00:01:22
Dakota Zeigler
Oh, baby.
00:01:26
Ninja
Watson just all really good this week against a really good Lions defense. Junior, you were kind of on, especially Watson. What did you think of this game?
00:01:34
Dakota Zeigler
Yes.
00:01:35
Ninja
Because I thought it lived up to the game of the week.
00:01:39
Dakota Zeigler
Definitely lived up to the game of the week. A little disappointing performance from the Lions, if I if i do say so myself. But with that being said... The Packers look legit. The Packers look real.
00:01:50
Dakota Zeigler
i'm always been I've always been a Christian Watson guy. Came up with another touchdown this week. But the biggest thing, 10 targets, baby. Love to see it. But, yeah, the pack Packers team is legit.
00:01:56
Ninja
Yeah, crazy.
00:02:00
Dakota Zeigler
They're a real Super Bowl contending level football team right now. They're awesome.
00:02:07
Ninja
Definitely. And I definitely don't have that somewhere in their game review later this podcast.
00:02:13
Dakota Zeigler
Definitely not, no.
00:02:14
Ninja
But we move on. It's the same game, though. Jameson Williams with a really good week. And you'd expect such things after Amon Ra went down, i think after his first target. I don't really know what happened there. We'll get into that with a little bit of the injury. So,
Fantasy Football Highlights
00:02:29
Ninja
as expected, the next wide receiver in the Lions offense did pretty good when Amon Ra went down. Our next skit of the week, Patrick Mahomes and Rasheed Rice. And I know early on, and I'm still a hater of the Chiefs.
00:02:43
Ninja
Very much am. I'm that guy on this podcast, and I stick to my guns pretty often.
00:02:46
Dakota Zeigler
Confirmed, Hayter.
00:02:49
Ninja
Mahomes Fantasy, I was wrong. I said, you don't want any business with this guy, and he's showing every week more and more that he's a top eight.
00:03:01
Ninja
I won't go top five yet. I'm still not there yet. I'm still a hater, but top eight. fantasy producing quarterback and Rasheed Rice. I've always liked Rasheed Rice. You were on Rasheed Rice really early.
00:03:13
Dakota Zeigler
Draft class, buddy.
00:03:14
Ninja
They're both electric in this offense.
00:03:16
Ninja
Any thoughts?
00:03:18
Dakota Zeigler
Uh, no qualms. I did end up writing this in here and I was kind of the one who was like, Hey guys, my homes is like playing like my homes again. and he does it again this week for touchdown passes on the year so far. He is QB two.
00:03:33
Ninja
Yeah, crazy. I wouldn't have bet it.
00:03:35
Dakota Zeigler
It's legit.
00:03:36
Ninja
I can tell you that.
00:03:36
Dakota Zeigler
I would not have bet it. also for context, I traded for Patrick Mahomes and in a league of ours this week, and I definitely overpaid, but it's a 10-team league, and I'm competing for a championship. So I went for i won for glory, and here we are.
00:03:52
Ninja
I also, so the listeners know, we we are in many, many, many fantasy leagues together, as guys who produce a fantasy podcast would do.
00:03:58
Dakota Zeigler
Many.
00:04:01
Dakota Zeigler
Shocker.
00:04:01
Ninja
And this guy, across the mic, you absolute bum, has now jeopardized me in earning a playoff spot in one league. Because
C.D. Lamb vs George Pickens
00:04:11
Ninja
I lost by folks 1.1 points.
00:04:18
Ninja
crazy and now I might not even make the playoffs and it's because of this guy right here and if that happens you will be getting hate mail I will be eking your house just like I did earlier this week and wait I can't say that in public so we move on so we move on
00:04:21
Dakota Zeigler
Awkward.
00:04:34
Dakota Zeigler
No, nobody. I'll edit that out. I'll edit that out.
00:04:38
Ninja
Thank you. To our next good of the week, it's C.D. Lamb. I called it way, way long ago. Probably last week on the podcast, if you guys listen. I said C.D. was up for a big game, and guess what? He absolutely
Player Performances: Monunga and Swift
00:04:51
Ninja
delivered. He looked electric and kind of shot edit that, I think, on George Pickens, who Zig had as his anytime touchdown score of the week. But any thoughts about C.D. Lamb and mainly these Cowboys beating the Chiefs, but we all kind of thought that that's the way it was going to go this week..........
00:05:11
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, very obvious bounce back spot for CD. And lucky for him, he wasn't playing the Eagles this week, so he's to have a good game. And yeah very, very expected. A CD lamb anytime touchdown was like my favorite bet all of Thanksgiving. I told everyone, my family members about it, and we all followed. And everybody hit, so that was awesome. But yeah, CD's good.
00:05:32
Dakota Zeigler
He's going to be good as long as you're playing the birds.
00:05:35
Ninja
Yeah, definitely. And our next good of the week, Gary, can I get that can i get that beautiful music?
00:05:41
Dakota Zeigler
You want one of these?
00:05:43
Ninja
Yeah, absolutely. And it sucks to who it happened to, but guess what? When I find a guy, i love a guy. And I'm with them through and through. Kyle Monunga.
00:05:56
Ninja
Oh my goodness. Oh my absolute goodness. And DeAndre Swift. Oh my goodness. It just sucks to happen against the birds. Cut that.
00:06:10
Ninja
And we're still rolling. That's okay.
00:06:12
Dakota Zeigler
I'm trying to figure out how long this is.
00:06:12
Ninja
yeah
00:06:13
Dakota Zeigler
Okay, I had to cut it short.
00:06:14
Ninja
It's so long.
00:06:15
Dakota Zeigler
That must be like so that must be minutes long.
00:06:16
Ninja
It's so long.
00:06:18
Dakota Zeigler
I did try and roll with a new nickname for Kyle Madungai in the chat, Kyle Money. I didn't think that was too bad.
00:06:26
Ninja
I like Kyle Money Guy. like it kind of fits.
00:06:27
Dakota Zeigler
Money guy is pretty good.
00:06:28
Ninja
and Like, I kind of like that.
00:06:30
Dakota Zeigler
Shorten it to short it to Kyle Money. Sucked, sucked, sucked that this happened against the Birds. Obviously,
Panthers' Victory Against the Rams
00:06:35
Dakota Zeigler
we'll talk about them a little bit more later, but he he looks very good. And he got more carries than Swift last week.
00:06:42
Ninja
Yeah, as I said, he would. And I just want to say as like an antidote to this.
00:06:45
Dakota Zeigler
Mm-hmm.
00:06:48
Ninja
Uh... i was I was working a job at the time. And the owner of this place I work at is also a Byrds fan. Go Byrds. As am I.
00:06:56
Dakota Zeigler
Go, birds.
00:06:57
Ninja
and And the time I finally got to reach my phone, it was 24 to 9. And I said, have to edit this out. Oh, And he's like, what happened? And I was like, we're losing big time. He's like, what happened? And was like, I don't even know. I just saw the score. And then he said, edit it again.
00:07:17
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:07:18
Ninja
And that was my Friday night. So it is what it is. But for the Eagles who had a good night, A.J. Brown. It's good to see A.J. Brown absolutely doing A.J. Brown type things. And I'm sure you agree. So we'll move on real quick to something I really wanted to talk about today. And I'm glad i didn't have to emphasize it.
00:07:39
Ninja
Carolina Panthers and Bryce effing young baby. I said it. I called it. You timestamp it from last part when I said Panthers outright.
00:07:51
Ninja
I called it and I just saw coming. Bryce is a dog. He plays so he plays the bad teams bad but guess what? He plays the good teams great.
00:08:04
Ninja
An absolute stud. So that's just mainly for me. Because I think i think you're a Bryce Young guy, but definitely not as much as I am.
00:08:12
Dakota Zeigler
Yes, it confirmed.
00:08:14
Dakota Zeigler
you're You are way more of a brace young Bryce Young guy than I am, but I do like Bryce Young. And I i want to emphasize, this is an incredible Panthers football team win. They had a pick six against Matthew Stafford. They actually picked him off twice this game. He's had zero interceptions the past, like, ten weeks or something like that.
00:08:14
Ninja
so
00:08:34
Dakota Zeigler
And they picked him off twice. Very, very impressive game for the Panthers. Especially winning a close game in the fourth quarter. That deep touchdown pass to Tet. When you're like, man, this might actually happen. And it did. Beautiful game.
Adonai Mitchell's Potential
00:08:47
Dakota Zeigler
Happy for him.
00:08:48
Ninja
Yeah, I called it. As you guys should bet, everything I have to say but my bets themselves.
00:08:54
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah. Everything we don't get.
00:08:54
Ninja
When I just throw something out there, hit it. But anyway, something we were all kind of happy to see because it's just offense is kind of fun now. AD Mitchell, how you doing?
00:09:06
Dakota Zeigler
baby.
00:09:08
Ninja
And, Junior, I'm going to give you your flowers here. Play that music for yourself, and you can go on about your guy, Adonai Mitchell.
00:09:12
Dakota Zeigler
I will.
00:09:14
Dakota Zeigler
I absolutely love Adonai Mitchell. If anyone has listened to the podcast over the last couple of years, I have been an Adonai Mitchell guy for a while. I love him. I think he has an incredible amount of potential. i think he's definitely a one-trick pony kind of thing where he just runs deep routes and he catches the ball downfield.
00:09:33
Dakota Zeigler
But I think he has a lot of potential. I think he can develop. And the Jets kind of utilized him to how he's supposed to be used, a.k.a. why did we not do this in indian Indianapolis? But I love to see him getting actual wide receiver one targets. I don't know if it's sustainable, but it's fun. It makes me happy.
Zay Flowers' Inconsistency Rant
00:09:51
Ninja
It's very fun. And the reason he didn't get more targets is because he dropped the ball before the end zone. Hate to bring that back up, but it happened.
00:09:59
Dakota Zeigler
Deshaun Jackson did it too, okay?
00:10:02
Ninja
Well, I mean, two different levels of players there.
00:10:03
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, i know. They're two different players. I know.
00:10:05
Ninja
Yeah. Yeah.
00:10:07
Dakota Zeigler
should make me feel better.
00:10:10
Ninja
Won't happen. Our next guy on the goods list is Devon Vele?
00:10:15
Dakota Zeigler
Who?
00:10:15
Ninja
Who? On the Saints team, I think we're going to move kind of fast because the Saints offense is so bad.
00:10:17
Dakota Zeigler
What?
00:10:22
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:10:24
Ninja
i don't i don't really have much to say here. And then Kamani Vidal...
00:10:26
Dakota Zeigler
I felt almost obligated to add him in. Sorry. Yeah, go ahead.
00:10:28
Ninja
Yeah, no, no, no. it was It was a weird ad. But he deserved it, but weird. And then, same thing here, Kamani Vidal.
00:10:35
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:10:37
Ninja
He had a good week, but, like, I don't know.
00:10:39
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:10:40
Ninja
Like,
00:10:40
Dakota Zeigler
He's probably going to be done now too with Hampton coming back.
00:10:44
Ninja
Yep. And our next good, I've been saying it all year. Brock Bowers is a stud.
00:10:48
Dakota Zeigler
Brock Bowers.
00:10:54
Ninja
God, he's so good at football. And I've said such things, so we'll move on pretty quick from that. As with this guy, Zach Ertz, who fought I've also said was really good at football and is the only start in the commander's offense.
00:11:04
Dakota Zeigler
Shout out.
00:11:06
Ninja
And he also lit it up this week. But for some guys, maybe, you know, who you started because you had to and they absolutely lit up, Chuba Hubbard and Jacoby Myers.
00:11:17
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, Chubo is really surprising.
00:11:18
Ninja
Absolute stud weeks. Yeah, well, his touchdown saved him late, but he also had a good amount of snaps there.
Vikings' Quarterback Needs
00:11:25
Ninja
So that gets me a little bit concerned about Rico Dowdle.
00:11:25
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:11:29
Ninja
But Jacoby Myers has become the clear number one target in Jacksonville, which sucks, which is a weird thing. We'll have to go on. I think this going to be an offseason thing about Brian Thomas Jr.
00:11:42
Ninja
and what is going on.
00:11:42
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah. i what what What does his future look like? Like it's...
00:11:46
Ninja
i don' I don't even know.
00:11:47
Dakota Zeigler
but We'll get into it later, but it's there's question marks there.
00:11:49
Ninja
It's so confusing. I don't like this Jacksonville Jags offense at all. And it's just one more confusing bit to add to the sheet. But our last good of the week, Junior, I'm going need some music.
00:12:05
Dakota Zeigler
I'll give it to you.
00:12:07
Ninja
Thank you. Thank you.
00:12:08
Dakota Zeigler
yeah
00:12:08
Ninja
Hey, guys, it's me It's a ninja for actually producing on the ZNG bet of the week. And guess what? T-shirts are coming out.
00:12:20
Ninja
Maybe. Chalk pays, baby. Chalk pays.
00:12:25
Dakota Zeigler
Rock Pays.
00:12:27
Ninja
Zig, if you're listening to this, if you ever cared about this podcast, I need a T-shirt that says that says Chalk Pays. And that's it.
00:12:37
Ninja
either there There doesn't have to be anything special on it.
00:12:37
Dakota Zeigler
all. Mm-hmm.
00:12:39
Ninja
Just chalk base. That's it. Moving on to our bats. And Junior, I need some sad music here. I need some real sad music. Thank you.
00:12:52
Ninja
One of the most depressing things to see this weekend. I said, for a couple the goods, Kyle Monaguy and Neandre Swift had great weeks. Guess who was against, guys? The birds.
00:13:04
Ninja
Oh god, I was heartbroken. And this. This was a terrible outing. A terrible outing. I didn't know what happened.
00:13:18
Ninja
And I do have to say, Junior... Oh god, the violence.
00:13:22
Dakota Zeigler
Smile it man.
00:13:25
Ninja
I'm gonna cut it from you real quick. Can you cut this? Because I'm gonna bring it back up. butll We'll get to the violence later. not only was I dissatisfied with Kevin Petula this game, i was upset with Jalen Hurts this game.
00:13:41
Ninja
He missed wide-open throws that he shouldn't... I don't think this is the same Jalen Hurts that we saw even at the end of last year in the playoffs. I'm not even saying the Super Bowl, because the Super Bowl, he's one of one But like the playoffs, like he missed open guys.
00:13:59
Ninja
and And there's one play...
00:13:59
Dakota Zeigler
Hurt. Go ahead.
00:14:01
Ninja
person There's one play I'll bring in here, and I'm sure you saw it, but I didn't watch the game. I watched things afterwards because I was working at the time. But Lander
Eagles' Performance Issues
00:14:12
Ninja
Dickerson stood up, tapped his helmet, said, hey, this guy's free.
00:14:17
Ninja
You need to get it out fast. You're going to have a free guy rushing you. And there's nothing you can do. it was with I think it was seven on six. Like, you're just going to have a free guy, get it out fast. He had an absolute seam ripper to a wide open Dallas Goddard.
00:14:34
Ninja
And he held the ball for two seconds more than he absolutely should have and threw it behind a covered Devontae Smith. It was back shoulder, he dropped it, it wasn't a good throw, it wasn't and anything good. But he missed an absolute seam ripper that would have been a touchdown in this game.
00:14:56
Ninja
And so,
00:14:58
Dakota Zeigler
I just...
00:14:59
Ninja
I can't, I'm a known Kevin Petula hater on this pod, and i'm so I still am.
00:15:00
Dakota Zeigler
Go ahead.
00:15:04
Ninja
He needs to be gone. But this play in particular, there's something wrong with Jalen Hurts.
00:15:05
Dakota Zeigler
I agree.
00:15:11
Ninja
And I think that needs to get mentioned, and I'm saying Kevin Petula still needs to get fired.
00:15:16
Dakota Zeigler
Yes.
00:15:16
Ninja
Because something's wrong with Jalen Hurts' psyche. There's something wrong where he's not a killer anymore.
00:15:21
Dakota Zeigler
There's no confidence. He has no confidence in the play call.
00:15:24
Ninja
None.
00:15:25
Dakota Zeigler
He has no confidence in his read. He has no confidence in his wide receivers to get open. He has no confidence in his legs or his ability to run. has no confidence.
00:15:36
Dakota Zeigler
that's the main That's the main issue for me. i i know the exact play you're talking about. And to be honest, i don't I don't hate the decision to throw the Devontae there. like You always want to throw into a blitz. The blitz is coming off that left side. And if you know Devontae is running like that in route or whatever the it was, sorry, 1620, whatever it is, like you anticipate it, you try to make a good throw, and let's get a first down. Because I think it was like third and eight or something like that.
00:16:03
Dakota Zeigler
The issue is he made a bad throw. He made a poor throw. i don't think I don't hate the decision, but he's just not inaccurate. And there's a lot of those on a Friday.
00:16:10
Ninja
Well, I didn't hate his decision either, but it was late.
00:16:12
Dakota Zeigler
There's a lot.
00:16:16
Ninja
It was way late.
00:16:16
Dakota Zeigler
Yes. Yes.
00:16:18
Ninja
Because Devontae Smith was open early, but he had threw it about as late as you can possibly throw it.
00:16:24
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, and obviously he had Goddard.
00:16:24
Ninja
And it's still being an attempt.
00:16:25
Dakota Zeigler
He had Goddard a wide open going to the end zone. He just never looked that way.
00:16:29
Ninja
And it's...
00:16:30
Dakota Zeigler
He never had time to, but also never looked that way. my
00:16:34
Ninja
Yeah. And, well...
00:16:36
Dakota Zeigler
My biggest reason, my the biggest thing but the biggest reason we lost on Friday to the Bears was we gave up like 300 yards rushing. We cannot stop them for the life of us.
00:16:47
Dakota Zeigler
They were like 8 of 11 on third down and like 4 of 6 on fourth down. like it just You can't survive as a defense when you just can't get off the field.
00:16:59
Dakota Zeigler
And the the other worst part about that is when the defense finally gets off the field after giving up an 8-minute touchdown drive is when your offense goes 3 and out and, hey, you're playing defense again.
00:17:11
Ninja
Yeah, and that's
00:17:12
Dakota Zeigler
Like, we can't happen. It's poor football. It's bad football on both ends. But you're never
00:17:17
Ninja
football.
Zig's Return and Banter
00:17:17
Dakota Zeigler
going to win a game giving up 300 yards of rushing.
00:17:18
Ninja
and that's football
00:17:20
Dakota Zeigler
But you're also never going to win a game if you can't throw for more than 200 yards. Like, it's it's bad both ways.
00:17:26
Ninja
you know i'm I hate hating the Eagles so much. I just think this was a this was a Ben Johnson masterclass, as we all thought that he would have during the season.
00:17:35
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:17:35
Ninja
It sucks it happened against the Bears, but we're going to move on quick because we stuck on that way too long.
00:17:35
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:17:40
Ninja
Zig's going to enjoy that way too much. Our next bat of the week is Junior. I'll let you say this.
00:17:47
Dakota Zeigler
Zay Flowers, man. Jesus Christ. I can't stand this dude. I own him. at Here's my biggest qualm with Zay Flowers. Is that I own him in every league I'm in.
00:17:59
Ninja
you
00:18:00
Dakota Zeigler
And I play him every week. That's the issue I have with Zay Flowers. It's not him as the person. It's not him the player. It's the fact that I have him and I have to deal with his nonsense.
00:18:10
Dakota Zeigler
And his inconsistencies. And his... And his... And his... Everything. It's awful. He's the worst player to own in fantasy to this day. i Name me a worse fantasy football player to have than Zay Flowers. Because you have to start him. You have to. There's no one sitting Zay. There's no two wide receiver leagues where you're not starting Zay Flowers. They don't exist. Unless you have studs and you have him on your bench. But everyone's starting Zay Flowers.
00:18:40
Dakota Zeigler
And everyone hates their lives. Everyone. Everyone who has them. It's awful. This fucking dude is going up against the Cincinnati Bengals, the worst passing defense in the entire league, almost historically bad, and he has like a catch for three yards. And not only that, he fumbles.
00:18:59
Dakota Zeigler
He fumbles. I got negative points from Zay Flowers this week.
00:19:03
Dakota Zeigler
Not only had did he cost me my parlay two weeks ago and cost me $3,000, he cost me on my ZNG parlay pick this week, He cost me another parlay I placed on Thursday where I needed him to score.
00:19:04
Ninja
well
00:19:17
Dakota Zeigler
It's it's a disaster. I can't rely on this guy. He's so unreliable. He's so inconsistent. But he's so talented. And it makes me so mad. And I hate him. And I love him. And I hate him.
00:19:28
Dakota Zeigler
Mostly hate him. that guy. dig You're editing that part.
00:19:33
Ninja
Yeah, Zig's gonna have some work to do there. That was...
00:19:36
Dakota Zeigler
God, he's so... I just need to trade him.
00:19:38
Ninja
God, I love the rant.
00:19:39
Dakota Zeigler
and I need to disown him. I need to trade him. I need to... drop him like I can't it's bad for my mental health
00:19:43
Ninja
see See, the thing is, especially in the redraft, in redraft, I especially know, I'm not starting him ever. Like, I don't even draft him because I know I don't want to play him ever.
00:19:54
Ninja
But we move on because we talked about him way too much there. And Junior, I enjoyed the rant. The Vikings pass game is a bad, but but It's Max Brosmer as advertised.
00:20:05
Ninja
Guys, if you don't remember, I i scouted 14 quarterbacks in a terrible quarterback class.
00:20:06
Dakota Zeigler
yeah what'd you expect
00:20:13
Ninja
Max Brosmer finished as the 14th quarterback.
00:20:17
Dakota Zeigler
yeah
00:20:18
Ninja
like This is just exactly what I expected. like i that There wasn't any sugarcoat in He was terrible. expected terrible. I think we can move on quick. Ash and Gentey also didn't have a good week. Kind of stinks, but also kind of P. Carroll the Raiders.
00:20:35
Ninja
Uh, JSN, something we can talk about a little bit. His first dud of the season. And you say it's forgivable?
00:20:41
Dakota Zeigler
yeah
00:20:44
Ninja
i agree. you can't, you he can't give this guy too much hate for having one bad game.
00:20:45
Dakota Zeigler
yeah you have to
00:20:50
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:20:57
Dakota Zeigler
Love it.
00:20:58
Ninja
But the next bad, and so the listeners know, I did most of the rest of them, so I'll love speak my mind and Junior more than Welcome to speak your mind after such things.
00:21:11
Ninja
Emeka Ibuka. I know he didn't have a terrible week, but anything for a wide receiver one where you finish with less than eight points, it's a problem.
00:21:20
Dakota Zeigler
It's bad week. Yeah.
00:21:22
Ninja
It's a problem. And I love Emeka Ibuka. It's just bad week. Same thing with Kenneth Gainwell. Absolutely. Timestamp. the bet.
00:21:33
Ninja
This week. and And the reason he's on here is because I hyped him up. I said, this is a guy you need to start with his usage. You have to. And he let me down.
00:21:45
Ninja
he let me down so dirty. And then, Junior, I'm to give you a chance to read off my name for the next one. Can you do it? And I thought it was kind of funny if you can kind of do the production with it.
00:21:57
Dakota Zeigler
I see what you're saying. So the next bad on this list is Tua, Tongue of Violin, Sad Music.
00:22:05
Ninja
Thank you. well That was so good. You did a great job. I knew it was like a rough ask, but I'm glad you did it and you did it well. Man, Tua was horrific.
00:22:16
Ninja
And the violins make it all worthwhile. Keep it rolling. Keep it rolling.
00:22:20
Dakota Zeigler
Shout out to Violins.
00:22:20
Ninja
And shout out, violins everywhere. Our next bet of the week. Who'd have thunk it? Anybody but Zig. Travis Etienne.
00:22:30
Dakota Zeigler
I wish he was here.
00:22:32
Dakota Zeigler
We've been crapping on him for a week straight, and he just has... There's no rebuttals.
00:22:36
Ninja
Yeah, in my notes here, it's just hee hee. It was like a little jab, but he's not here to defend himself. And also, Michael Pittman.
00:22:46
Ninja
Which I also said, i called it the week before. I said he was going to have a bad week. I hope you listen to the Ninja. I'm pretty good about this fantasy stuff. But Junior, the roughest part of this whole thing, because I hate slighting you, because I know you're great at what you do.
00:22:57
Dakota Zeigler
Slightly. Yeah.
00:23:03
Ninja
But...
00:23:03
Dakota Zeigler
Zay Flowers.
00:23:06
Ninja
After i have to put myself on the bad list for missing.
00:23:09
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:23:09
Ninja
It's only right that I get to put you both on the list for missing this week. Junior and Zig. Both terrible this week. Terrible betters.
00:23:20
Dakota Zeigler
you want to hear Do you want to hear something funny?
00:23:23
Ninja
I would love that.
00:23:24
Dakota Zeigler
I felt slightly better. Going into that Thursday night game where I had Zay Flowers, knowing that Zay already missed his ZNG part of the parlay, I was like relieved that I wasn't going to be the one that just ruins the whole parlay.
00:23:34
Ninja
Oh yeah, 100%. I feel the same way. As long as... so
00:23:41
Dakota Zeigler
Zay already did that.
00:23:42
Ninja
No, for for me, if someone busts before me, it's not like a scratch week where it's fine, but like it feels a lot better. Like, you hate to be the old.
00:23:51
Dakota Zeigler
It's like a little bit of relief.
00:23:53
Dakota Zeigler
Because you still want to hit.
00:23:56
Ninja
But for me, therefore, a while, was like it just felt like I missed and everyone else hit. that It didn't actually happen, but that's what it felt like because my game happened first. So I just missed.
00:24:06
Ninja
And it felt so bad. So I will rub it. oh I'll rub a little salt into that wound a little bit. a little bit of lemon juice.
00:24:13
Dakota Zeigler
i heard I deserve it.
00:24:14
Ninja
You know what mean?
00:24:14
Dakota Zeigler
I deserve it.
00:24:15
Ninja
I think you'll turn it around. Zig, on the other hand, yeah We'll see. What?
00:24:20
Dakota Zeigler
that that That sums it up there.
00:24:22
Ninja
you skin
00:24:24
Dakota Zeigler
I'm leaving the burp in.
00:24:26
Ninja
As you should, which I wanted you to. And then our injuries this week, Junior has here, because he he does so much work for this podcast, and I can't thank him enough.
00:24:34
Dakota Zeigler
no
00:24:36
Ninja
Amon Ra has an ankle injury, like I said earlier in this podcast. It seemed like it was the first target, too.
00:24:43
Dakota Zeigler
Like as soon as the game started, you had this you had zero points from Marossi Brown, which just sucks.
00:24:47
Ninja
Yeah, and I haven't seen anything after this. I just have him as questionable.
00:24:51
Dakota Zeigler
I've seen, yeah the last two practices he's missed, he's been fully out of practice the past two days. It's looking like he's not going to be playing Thursday night.
00:25:03
Ninja
Yes, but keep your eyes. Obviously, if he's a go, there's no way you can sit on Monroe St.
00:25:08
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, I would expect him to be out.
00:25:09
Ninja
Brown. so that's, i'd I'd also expect him to be out. And then our next injury this week, Marvin Harrison. i don't really know anymore because you have a heel. i thought it was his appendix earlier this week. I know he's listed as questionable right now.
00:25:26
Dakota Zeigler
I think he left he left Sunday's game with a heel injury. i don't think it's very serious, but I think he's just going to be like, you know, it might be something to monitor for the next couple weeks.
00:25:36
Ninja
Yeah, and something else to monitor. One of the reasons it wasn't dubbed the Ninjas Game of the Week, Justin Herbert has a hand injury, and it's looking right now that he's not going to play.
00:25:46
Dakota Zeigler
Booty.
00:25:49
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, i saw I saw he was going to get a minor surgery done, and it's kind of you know up in the air whether he'll play this week.
00:25:50
Ninja
That's what I'm seeing currently.
00:25:57
Dakota Zeigler
I'm assuming if you're getting surgery, you're not going to play in like seven days or six days.
00:26:01
Ninja
Yeah, yeah, that's my assumption too, yeah.
00:26:03
Dakota Zeigler
So i would I would assume he's also out.
00:26:07
Ninja
And then the next two, we'll kind of lump together because really, who cares? Parker Washington has a hip injury and then Aaron Jones has a shoulder. Both kind of rough because those were like your late flex streamer kind of guys, but now they're out of your lineup.
00:26:15
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:26:20
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:26:21
Ninja
So hopefully you have your studs this week.
00:26:23
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah. And I think they opened doors for like other people, like Jacoby Myers, now with portmano Parker Washington. jordan Mason's going to be the starter full-time now without Aaron Jones and that other guy.
00:26:35
Dakota Zeigler
Who cares?
00:26:37
Ninja
speaking Speaking on this, I have a big bone to pick with the NFL because we have four buys this week.
00:26:42
Dakota Zeigler
Here we go.
00:26:48
Ninja
And I'm sure all you guys out there in the world know that this is the week that sets your fantasy playoffs lineups. And we have four buys. And not only some of them are bad teams, but most of them have studs on their teams that you are playing week in, week out, and you need their production, and they're just not there because they're on a buy this week.
00:27:08
Dakota Zeigler
one main guy. One main guy, for like, for sure.
00:27:11
Ninja
Christian McCaffrey is the one standout not in your lineups this week because he's on... Not that he's hurt. He's on a buy. He said, hasta la vista...
00:27:21
Dakota Zeigler
Ridiculous.
00:27:25
Ninja
I'm on paid vacation right now. I can't... Dude, this makes me so mad. Because even for, like, your pants...
00:27:32
Dakota Zeigler
I don't remember it being this late. I feel like this is a new thing.
00:27:35
Ninja
Me neither. I think, like, everyone played last week. That was the thing. And then now we have a buy after Thanksgiving. There should be no buys after Thanksgiving. This is playoff football.
00:27:45
Dakota Zeigler
I agree. Yeah.
00:27:54
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:27:55
Ninja
Theo Johnson, Jackson Dart, who people were playing, out this week. And this is the week that makes playoffs. Like, there's going to be guys missing this week that are studs.
00:28:03
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:28:08
Ninja
And it's not even that you're not better than the next team. It's that CMC had a bye week in Week 14, dude.
00:28:14
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, George Kittle.
00:28:15
Ninja
NFL...
00:28:16
Dakota Zeigler
If you drafted George Kittle in like the third round, fourth round of redrafts, and you just can't use him the week before the playoffs, like that's ridiculous.
00:28:17
Ninja
Dude.
00:28:21
Ninja
Dude.
00:28:24
Ninja
NFL, fix your stuff because I know I'm be hurting a little bit because there is a few leagues where I'm fighting for my playoff spot. And I have guys on all of these teams that I want to play and can't.
00:28:36
Ninja
I know for one of my leagues, I'm losing that league greatly, but like six of my guys are on bias this week and I was like, what is this?
00:28:36
Dakota Zeigler
Mm-hmm.
00:28:45
Ninja
why Why am I still having buys in week 14? I'm trying to sell high.
00:28:52
Ninja
You know what i mean? like i'm trying to make up like a I'm trying to make a playoff push because in this league we play for first place in the losers bracket.
00:28:53
Dakota Zeigler
I agree.
00:28:59
Ninja
You have to win the losers bracket. Which means you have to win some games.
00:29:01
Dakota Zeigler
Yes, you still have to compete.
00:29:04
Ninja
so like I want to see guys get as much runtime as possible.
00:29:04
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:29:07
Ninja
But anyways... Before I go on a full-out rant about Robert Kraft and how much of a he is, cut that.
00:29:15
Dakota Zeigler
Robert Kraft, the owner of the Patriots.
00:29:18
Ninja
That's not the right name. Ha ha ha ha ha.
00:29:22
Dakota Zeigler
yeah
00:29:24
Ninja
Who am I thinking about? Who am I thinking about? Roger Goodell? There it is.
00:29:30
Dakota Zeigler
Roger Goodell
00:29:31
Ninja
I found it. Oh, God.
00:29:34
Dakota Zeigler
Robert Kraft shout out Robert Kraft but
00:29:34
Ninja
And before we think i' about that, his shout out. Before we go on that too much, Junior, I need a little transition music. Thank you, good sir, because we're going to get into our week 14 preview, our Thursday night football game.
00:29:51
Ninja
This week is the Cowboys at the Lions. And so the folks know, almost made the Ninjas game of the week this week, but it did not.
00:29:58
Dakota Zeigler
Close.
00:29:59
Ninja
It was super close.
00:30:01
Dakota Zeigler
It's going be a good one.
00:30:03
Ninja
The Cowboys offense continues to absolutely dominate. Great game last week beating those absolute bombs on the Chiefs.
00:30:12
Dakota Zeigler
Shout out.
00:30:14
Ninja
And the Lions, guess what? Nothing new. They still lose on Thanksgiving. I don't know why you would bet anything different. And then for your Cowboys, you have to start them all. This offense is rolling.
00:30:24
Dakota Zeigler
Start them all. Yep.
00:30:27
Ninja
And for the Lions, you need to check Aminor's status. That's the main thing here. If he is out, I think Jamison Williams is a must-start. I like Jared Goff when he's in that dome. Jameer Gibbs is a stud. And I don't hate Monty. After a decent week last week, any qualms here, Junior?
00:30:48
Dakota Zeigler
I got no qualms. Jared Goff loves good dome. So as long as he's playing in a dome, I'm rolling out Jared Goff. I love Gibbs in this week. I love Montgomery this week. I think they're going to kind of lean on the run game with no Almanra St. Brown. So I would go JMO and then both running backs, especially with Noah Samuel Porter as well.
00:31:07
Dakota Zeigler
What did I want to mention? Oh, with no Almanra St. Brown, I would assume that rookie Isaac Tesla is going to get some more play. So, Keep an eye out for him.
00:31:18
Dakota Zeigler
I'm not saying start him, but just like, hey, he might have a decent game. Cowboy side of things.
00:31:21
Ninja
you didn't even give You didn't even give yourself the symbols. What's going on?
00:31:27
Dakota Zeigler
what do you mean the symbols?
00:31:29
Ninja
You said you loved Jared Goff in a dome too, but you said it like funny anyway. Yeah, that's what I thought you were.
00:31:34
Dakota Zeigler
Oh, you mean one of those?
00:31:36
Ninja
Yeah.
00:31:36
Dakota Zeigler
Well, it's kind of, i i don't know if you've noticed on the past podcast, I do these like little sexual innuendos. And I kind of try and keep them under the radar for like the people who get it, get it. You know what and I mean?
00:31:47
Dakota Zeigler
So I feel like if I start doing the whole, it's going to be too nail.
00:31:48
Ninja
Oh, okay. My bad. My bad. My bad.
00:31:51
Dakota Zeigler
What do I say that I always screw up in the coffin?
00:31:52
Ninja
I thought it was so perfect.
00:31:54
Dakota Zeigler
Whatever that is.
00:31:55
Ninja
Uh, yeah, so so something's in a coffin for you.
00:31:58
Dakota Zeigler
I always screw it up, though.
00:32:00
Ninja
I don't know what's in the coffin, but it's there for you. Yeah.
00:32:03
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah. Cowboy side, love them all. Lions defense is all banged up. I love them all. Start them all. But yeah, no qualms.
00:32:11
Ninja
Yeah, sorry for ruining your thing. I didn't know you did that on purpose, because I thought that was really funny, and you earned the applause of, you know, yourself and myself.
00:32:15
Dakota Zeigler
No, it's okay.
00:32:20
Dakota Zeigler
I do get that, but it's more like my humor.
00:32:21
Ninja
Because I thought that was very funny.
00:32:23
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, it's more like my humor is like, I like to keep it low key. So it's almost like, yeah.
00:32:26
Ninja
like I heard it and I was like, play it. It's it's there. It was right there. Anyways, guys.
00:32:33
Dakota Zeigler
I'm working on it.
00:32:33
Ninja
We move on. well We'll figure out the ones and twos eventually. Our next game of the week, Seahawks at Falcons. The Seahawks defense, guess what guys?
00:32:43
Ninja
Scary good. Legitimate Super Bowl content. Whoa!
00:32:47
Dakota Zeigler
that's a what That's a boo. Like, boo.
00:32:51
Ninja
huh
00:32:51
Dakota Zeigler
Scary. Did you get it?
00:32:52
Ninja
Gotcha.
00:32:52
Dakota Zeigler
There
00:32:52
Ninja
yeah It's a jump scare. Type boo. Love it.
00:32:55
Dakota Zeigler
you Oh, here we are.
00:32:57
Dakota Zeigler
We're producing a podcast.
00:32:59
Ninja
Love it. Their defense is scary good. Legitimate Super Bowl contenders, and guess who said that last week? Me.
00:33:07
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, I completely agree.
00:33:07
Ninja
Anyways. The Falcons continue to struggle with Kirk. Who'da thunk it?
00:33:13
Dakota Zeigler
Shocker.
00:33:14
Ninja
I don't know. Whatever. For your Seahawks, Jackson Smith in Jigba is a must start after his first bad game all year. I know. You might be thinking...
00:33:26
Ninja
After Junior's rant last week about sitting JJ by JJ, I mean JJ, you're like, do I sit JSN? No. If you sit JSN, there's another backslap from hell coming your way.
00:33:35
Dakota Zeigler
No.
00:33:41
Dakota Zeigler
Yep.
00:33:42
Ninja
Anyways.
00:33:42
Dakota Zeigler
I'm still thinking about playing Justin Jefferson, but we'll talk about later.
00:33:46
Ninja
Don't do it, guys. Yeah, to don't do it. Anyways, AJ Barner, I think, is going to eat this game. This is my favorite matchup of the week. And then for the Seahawks, you choose between Charbonnet and Walker, as you always do. For this game, lean Charbonnet. If you were to pick anybody, I kind of like him for a touch on this game.
00:34:07
Ninja
And then for the Falcons, it's Bijan Denham. London is questionable. i haven't heard too much about this injury again. But even so, if he's a go, i don't like the matchup.
00:34:20
Ninja
I think he has a really tough matchup this week. So even if he is a go, don't like it. I think you're going to have to flex him. But i hate it. Junior, anything here?
00:34:30
Dakota Zeigler
No, I got no qualms. I'm looking to play anybody else but Drake London against this Seahawks defense. They're legit Super Bowl-level defense. They showed that last week. Obviously, they played against Max Braumer and that absolute bum, but they picked him off four times, returned one for a touchdown. Yeah, they're a great defense. B. John, even B. John, I'm, like, lowering my expectations for. And screw all Tyler Algier. I hate that guy.
00:34:58
Dakota Zeigler
Seahawks side of things, I got no qualms. I might lean Walker over Charbonnet this week strictly just because I think it might be a closer-ish game, and I feel like they lean on Charbonnet when they're up big. But again, it's a coin flip.
00:35:11
Ninja
As it always is. And the next game is the Bengals at the Bills. The Bengals offense is electric, as always. But their defense is finally looking like they give a
00:35:23
Dakota Zeigler
little bit.
00:35:24
Ninja
And the Bills roll against the Steelers. Who'd have thunk it? They ran the same play. We counted it, as did everyone else in the football world, 29 times. And they couldn't stop it. Give me an absolute shootout.
00:35:40
Ninja
This game, give me the over. For the Bengals, you have to start everybody. If you sit any of them, you're a fool. One cheeky little ad here is Samajay Pirine is, I think, a decent waiver ad, especially in your redraft leagues. He saw 17 targets last week, or 17 touches, rather, last week. So I think that's a decent little ad if you're you know have to sit CMC this week. What? What?
00:36:06
Dakota Zeigler
mud
00:36:08
Ninja
And for your bills, it's the same as before. You start them all by Keon. Allen and Cooks are studs. But the main little, like, cheeky part here is Samajay P. Ryan. But this is an absolute shootout if I've ever seen one junior.
00:36:25
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, I mean, I got no qualms. This is one of those games where like you want any piece of it you can. So like if you're a team who has like Mike Gusecki or Dalton Kincaid like I'm probably starting him in this game just because I think it's going to be so high scoring and he's have a higher chance of him scoring a touchdown or you know moving the ball down the field. So, yeah, start everyone you possibly can. Somehow, Lamar Jackson made this Bengals defense look like they have NFL-level football players on it, and no one else has done that the rest of the year. I don't know if it's a Lamar thing or a Bengals thing, but I'm assuming that they're going to suck, and this is this game's going to end like thirty five to thirty eight
00:37:06
Ninja
yeah I think even higher than that. If I can pick an over in this game, give me 74.5. i like had I want something ridiculous.
00:37:15
Dakota Zeigler
40-35, I love it.
00:37:17
Ninja
Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, something that I'm not so excited about, it's Titans at Browns. Ahem!
00:37:25
Dakota Zeigler
What two opposite games here?
00:37:28
Ninja
This is dubbed, as I said, it was going to be a new thing in this podcast, the Ninja's worst game of the week. and This is terrible. These teams, guess what? They both suck.
00:37:42
Ninja
For your Titans, no.
00:37:44
Dakota Zeigler
Ew. Wait.
00:37:47
Ninja
Thank you. Just no Not even Epic. You guys know how much I love Epic IU Manor. And unless you have a bunch of buys this week, like your Ricky Pearsalls, your Ted McMillans, all those guys, I'm not starting him unless I really have to.
00:38:02
Ninja
Junior has here. He loves a cheeky little camoar type.
00:38:07
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, I think it's fun. I think he's going to try and take that team on his back.
00:38:13
Dakota Zeigler
No, nothing really to add. I do like a cheeky Cam Ward anytime touchdown, but that's because I think he's going to kind of put that team on his back, try and win a close one against an also Slightly equivalent bad team, but the Browns should win this game at home. That's even if the Titans can cross like midfield.
00:38:31
Dakota Zeigler
That would be awful. So, yes. And also, I have some breaking news.
00:38:37
Dakota Zeigler
Ladies and gentlemen, the man himself has entered the podcast. Dakota Ziegler has actually decided to join us this week.
00:38:45
Ninja
Wow.
00:38:46

What's up? What's up, boys?
00:38:49
Ninja
I just gotta say, hey, hey, Zeg, are you editing this pod? You are. It's about time. Wow.

Dakota Zeigler
Oh, man.
00:39:04
Ninja
You missed so much funny... but the The main thing is, right? So we do this podcast and it's all cool. You missed all the funny banter before this show. And I have a such a funny t-shirt on that you don't even know about because you weren't here for the intro.
00:39:18
Dakota Zeigler
Yep, don't show him. He doesn't deserve it.
00:39:20
Ninja
No, let me let me hide it.
00:39:20
Zig
that's okay. Let me, I, I, at least this guy's wearing a shirt today. That's all I can say. Usually he's not.
00:39:26
Dakota Zeigler
That is true.
00:39:27
Zig
So,
00:39:28
Ninja
I'll take it off. Don't don't you worry.
00:39:30
Dakota Zeigler
you
00:39:32
Zig
uh, great to be back. You know, got a lot going on right now, Christmas season. And I, I'll tell you what, I've been enjoying, uh, spending the time home with the family, Last week, had so my sister came over, hung out with her for a while. And I mean, family comes first here. I mean, and you guys are family. Don't get me wrong. But you know i got that immediate family first. And then as soon as that's done, I'm here with the boys.
00:39:54
Ninja
No, we see how it is. It's okay. It's okay.
00:39:58
Dakota Zeigler
I'm reading between the lines here.
00:39:59
Ninja
Make excuses. You know, it's not like I've been there since day one, it seems like. But, you know, it's fine. It's fine.
00:40:06
Zig
Come on over. i'll blow I'll blow off Gary for you, Damien.
00:40:10
Dakota Zeigler
Whoa.
00:40:11
Zig
Here
00:40:11
Ninja
I do want to get your comments on this t-shirt real quick because it's a heater.
00:40:12
Dakota Zeigler
Whoa. Whoa.
00:40:15
Zig
and here we go.
00:40:16
Dakota Zeigler
Stop
00:40:19
Zig
I'm not here for two weeks and this is what the podcast turns into.
00:40:19
Dakota Zeigler
that right now.
00:40:20
Ninja
You ready?
00:40:20
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, I'm going
00:40:22
Zig
I knew I should have put this as explicit.
00:40:24
Dakota Zeigler
to mute Zig.
00:40:25
Ninja
like i do want to i do want to get your comments on this t-shirt real quick because it's a heater you ready
00:40:36
Zig
yeah I'm going to make you upset. i already knew what t-shirt you were wearing, Damien.
00:40:42
Ninja
Hey, you know what? you.
00:40:44
Zig
You told me about it last week.
00:40:47
Ninja
i was so excited for this shirt and he had nothing for it. At least Junior pretended like he was excited for me. You know what, Zake? you.
00:40:54
Zig
Let me be honest. Any listeners to our podcast, all six of us, we all know what t-shirt you were wearing. It's literally in the last pod.
00:41:02
Ninja
Yeah, but it's so much better in person, is it not?
00:41:05
Zig
it's It's really good. It is really good.
00:41:06
Ninja
they This is a high-quality t-shirt.
00:41:07
Dakota Zeigler
It is pretty nice.
00:41:10
Ninja
Anyways, Zig, I'll let you continue on about whatever you were trying to talk about. Three
00:41:16
Zig
i mean, where are we at in the pod, boys? I guess let's just roll in here. What what can I trash?
00:41:20
Ninja
quarters of the way done! Three quarters of the way done, you bum!
00:41:25
Dakota Zeigler
We're the commanders and the Vikings.
00:41:28
Zig
Wait, on to that? Or, I mean, the worst game of the week, I already knew this was Titans at Browns.
00:41:30
Ninja
yeah
00:41:33
Dakota Zeigler
yeah so we were Yeah, we were finishing that up.
00:41:34
Zig
Okay.
00:41:35
Ninja
Yeah, we we already finished that. yeah you You can go on to the... I don't think I gave my synopsis for Commanders at Browns, but Ziggs, without looking at the the sheet here that I have so thoughtfully wrote up for us. Any thoughts about this game?
00:41:50
Zig
Commanders at Browns?
00:41:52
Ninja
Commanders at Vikings, God, you don't know a thing.
00:41:55
Zig
I'm pretty sure that's what you said, Commanders at Browns. But anyway, Commanders at Vikings, I'm like 90% sure that's what you said.
00:41:58
Ninja
Did i
00:42:01
Zig
That's why I was a little confused here.
00:42:02
Dakota Zeigler
definitely what you said.
00:42:05
Ninja
No.
00:42:06
Zig
like how I get trash on the pod. Also, who's editing this one?
00:42:09
Dakota Zeigler
This thing is just going so far downhill.
00:42:09
Ninja
I
00:42:11
Zig
Because they I've heard Damien curse three times already, so...
00:42:11
Dakota Zeigler
Probably me.
00:42:13
Ninja
thought it was editing. i'll I'll keep it together if you're editing, Junior.
00:42:20
Dakota Zeigler
Yes, I am.
00:42:21
Ninja
I'll hold my stuff.
00:42:21
Dakota Zeigler
Please.
00:42:22
Ninja
Okay, okay. I'll hold my stuff from now on. Yeah, my bad.
00:42:26
Zig
As I edited the last pod and I got the whole list, I had to scroll through, Damien.
00:42:31
Dakota Zeigler
That was a long one, buddy.
00:42:31
Zig
That was a long one
00:42:32
Ninja
because I knew you editing. It's good to have you back, buddy.
00:42:36
Zig
It's good to be back. Commanders at Vikings, let's just move on here. No one wants to actually hear my takes. I'm just here for the comedic relief you guys get when I join in here.
00:42:48
Zig
I don't want to talk anything good about the Commanders. We should have not have won by one point last week.
00:42:55
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
00:42:55
Zig
especially against Marcus Mariota as a backup. That should have not have ever happened. But they got the weapons. They got the team that can actually, you know, put up points.
00:43:08
Zig
They have playmakers outside of the running back position. So... I got to say, Damien's takes on Zach Ertz. Start Zach Ertz and Terry, and I think you're out. I think you got two guys now. I think Terry has to be started, but Zach Ertz, Terry, done.
00:43:28
Ninja
So this guy has has basically read my notes without reading my notes. He just didn't want to talk trash on the Broncos, which I will do. but
00:43:36
Ninja
Vikings, man, they need a quarterback so effing bad.
00:43:40
Ninja
Because, especially for you guys, we talked about this earlier, this is your week to decide who's in the playoffs. You have to start J-Jets. You can't sit them. In my opinion, you can't sit him. I don't care who the quarterback is.
00:43:54
Ninja
i believe in KOC. think KOC is a top five head coach in this league, a top five offensive mind. I need to start Justin Jefferson because if I'm not starting Justin Jefferson, who am I starting in this place?
00:44:11
Ninja
A Christian Watson, no thank you. And then for the commanders, like Zig said, it continues to be Earths for me.
00:44:13
Dakota Zeigler
Yes.
00:44:15
Zig
Yes.
00:44:19
Ninja
JCM, I'm still giving him mouth-to-mouth about every two hours, and I'll keep you guys updated for the rest of that as it goes on through Sunday. He's got very sweet lips. God, that was the worst thing I could have said.
00:44:32
Ninja
Cut that.
00:44:35
Ninja
God, that sounded so awful. But sick. Anything to say here about Commanders at Vikings because I'm so anxiously waiting to talk absolute trash about the Broncos.
00:44:48
Zig
and Don't worry, he'll still talk more trash on the Eagles than he will my Broncos. But before it gets to Gary, before this season started, we were saying that KOC, Kevin O'Connell, is the quarterback mastermind. It doesn't matter who's in his system. It was you know Carson Wentz looked good. Sammy Wheels was you know this you know bring back the life, risen from the dead, you know Undertaker style.
00:45:11
Zig
We got this guy in JJ McCarthy who I was a fan of and I'm starting to question a lot. Nick Rothenwell, if you're hearing this, I will be waiting for you in the comments and the the texts and everything I received from you about our Jackson Smith Najibah trade and for JJ McCarthy, not looking as nicely as I once thought.
00:45:31
Zig
So I'll be waiting for...
00:45:31
Dakota Zeigler
Forgot about that trade. Yikes.
00:45:34
Zig
and I will be waiting for those comments. He's been on me every week after JSN blows up. It's about time I set my fate that i JJ may not be the man.
00:45:45
Zig
Max Brosmer, definitely not the man.
00:45:47
Dakota Zeigler
No.
00:45:48
Zig
Is Kevin O'Connell the quarterback whisperer we thought he was? Or are these guys just that atrocious that even KOC can't save him?
00:45:58
Dakota Zeigler
My thoughts are Kevin O'Connell can't coach J.J. McCarthy to throw an accurate pass.
00:46:10
Dakota Zeigler
That is the issue. Because he can scheme up. I mean, Justin Jefferson is open on all of these throws that McCarthy's trying to make to him. He's just missing jeff Justin Jefferson.
00:46:18
Zig
Mm-hmm.
00:46:21
Dakota Zeigler
He's missing Jordan Addison down the field. That is the issue. Like, Kevin O'Connell knows how to scheme players open. He knows how to run an offense. He knows how to call plays. But he can't physically throw with the ball for J.J. McCarthy. And that that's the issue. I think it's a talent thing. It's an accuracy thing. It might be a...
00:46:41
Dakota Zeigler
you know, a confidence thing with McCarthy, maybe even, i don't know, but he, he, he needs to develop a little bit more as a passer because O'Connell can't do that for him. He's got to get better.
00:46:50
Zig
is this Is this a spot we need to be watching out for for a higher-end backup to go to this offseason, a.k.a.
00:46:59
Ninja
Yes.
00:46:59
Zig
a Mac Jones?
00:46:59
Ninja
Yes.
00:47:00
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah. That's a good shout.
00:47:00
Zig
like Mac Jones comes in here.
00:47:00
Ninja
Yes. Oh my Have you listened to the NFL Stock Exchange podcast?
00:47:02
Zig
He's going to light it up.
00:47:07
Zig
Only you, my guy.
00:47:07
Ninja
Bro. They are on their where they said this exact same thing. Expect them to sign Mac Jones. and might Expect them to trade for Mac Jones.
00:47:18
Ninja
Man, those guys, if you guys don't listen to, very good fantasy but advice as well for for like a scouting and all that stuff.
00:47:22
Dakota Zeigler
Shout out.
00:47:25
Ninja
like I trust them a lot. They even said, give them Mac Jones there for competition. Whatever it costs, they're going to get another quarterback in there to compete with J.J.
00:47:38
Ninja
McCarthy, and I absolutely love that. But moving on to our next game that almost made the worst game of the week, Dolphins at Jets.
00:47:44
Zig
Yeah.
00:47:48
Ninja
The Dolphins barely beat out the Saints. The Dolphins, they need a new quarterback next season, and they need a new head coach. But the Jets, guess what? They're fun again.
00:47:58
Ninja
They might be losing, but they're fun. I love a Lord Henke teardown. i love a Lord Henke rebuild. I've been doing it in a lot of places for your Dolphins.
00:48:08
Ninja
Devon A-Chain is a stud. Waddle and Tua are okay. And I don't mind it Darren Waller if he's healthy. We'll get into that a little bit later in this podcast. And then for your Jets, A.D. Mitchell is a...
00:48:25
Zig
Mm-hmm.
00:48:25
Dakota Zeigler
Yes.
00:48:27
Ninja
And Mechie is fun as well. I'm glad everyone got to enjoy that little bit, especially Junior. So, Junior, I'll throw it to you first because you're an A.D. Mitchell guy. How would you like the write-up I had where A.D.
00:48:37
Dakota Zeigler
yes
00:48:38
Ninja
Mitchell is DOG! ogue
00:48:43
Dakota Zeigler
A.D. Mitchell finally getting the targets he deserved. We talked about this a little bit earlier. i am very, very happy for him, the the player. I feel like he just never got a chance there in Indianapolis. He probably never was going to. So change of scenery I think was good for both sides. And as of now, he's making the most of it. Big week against the Falcons. If we can keep it going against a pretty poor Dolphins defense, then maybe we're just ready to roll.
00:49:11
Dakota Zeigler
Zig, any thoughts?
00:49:13
Zig
I was looking to see, it doesn't look like Garrett Wilson's going to come back. Curious to see what the target share is when he does, but it looks like you have at least this week yet with him on IR. Other than that, I have no qualms. I'm not starting AD Mitchell or Mechie probably in any lineup, especially you know fighting for a championship spot.
00:49:34
Zig
I'm not trusting those guys, but DFS lineups, they're the perfect targets. They're cheap. They're seeing a lot of work. Like you said, the the Jets are fun.
00:49:40
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah. Booty.
00:49:42
Zig
But no, love everything they say with the Dolphins. No qualms.
00:49:46
Ninja
I kind of disagree with you a little bit because I love A.D. Mitchell this week in almost any matchup. Anyways, i don't want to I don't want to be too much of a glazer there for Junior. But our next game of the week is Saints at Bucks. The Saints are just bad.
00:50:04
Ninja
That's it. And the Bucs just need to get healthy, like we've been saying for the past 15 and a half weeks now, and it's only week 14. I like Godwin and Ibuka to get rolling this game for the Bucs. And for your Saints, no Just no.
00:50:21
Dakota Zeigler
Doug. What?
00:50:22
Ninja
Just absolutely not. Just stop. I know in all your fantasy leagues you're seeing Devon Vele. Stop. No. Enough with that madness. And then for the Bucs, I think Baker is a...
00:50:40
Zig
Oh, whoa, whoa.
00:50:41
Ninja
DOG!
00:50:43
Zig
Junior, something needs to be brought up.
00:50:43
Ninja
We can go on about this.
00:50:46
Zig
Junior, why do you hate Baker Mayfield?
00:50:47
Dakota Zeigler
what
00:50:50
Dakota Zeigler
he's got he's got He's got a little shoulder injury. he seems He's injured right now. is He's just a dog.
00:50:54
Ninja
Nah. Nah, nah.
00:50:56
Zig
Dogg!
00:50:56
Dakota Zeigler
you can't you can You can't...
00:50:56
Ninja
He's a... Hey, Zig. You know what Baker is?
00:50:59
Dakota Zeigler
Hungry dogs hungry dogs run faster.
00:51:00
Ninja
He's a...
00:51:02
Zig
don
00:51:05
Dakota Zeigler
Jason Kelsey said that hungry dogs run faster, but injured dogs don't run.
00:51:09
Dakota Zeigler
They land the couch.
00:51:11
Zig
You Swifty.
00:51:13
Ninja
But injured Baker Mayfield puts up 300 passing yards and four touchdowns. Get the out of here.
00:51:19
Zig
Same thing with Matthew Stafford's little back injury.
00:51:19
Dakota Zeigler
Not
00:51:21
Zig
he Count him out.
00:51:23
Ninja
I wish a little that the listeners could see my t-shirt.
00:51:25
Dakota Zeigler
yeah wrong
00:51:27
Ninja
I'm wearing an awesome t-shirt tonight. I'm repping Baker Mayfield himself tonight on this podcast. And it's not going to go away anytime soon because that guy is someone I love immensely.
00:51:40
Ninja
But for the Bucs, I love Godwin and Emeka Buka to get healthy. i think Baker is a... What? No! Emeka Buka is a what? Dog!
00:51:52
Ninja
Godwin is okay. I think he's going to be good this game, but I don't want to overhype expectations. I think Bucky Irving should be a really good start this week. This is a really good matchup. If there's any week for Bucky to get on the right foot, it's this week. Any qualms, fellas?
00:52:11
Dakota Zeigler
No, no qualms. Start your Bucs. Don't start your Saints. Devin Neal looked okay in his first start last week. Nothing great, but he looked okay. Tough matchup for him, though. in I was going to say in Buccaneers, but it's in Tampa Bay.
00:52:27
Zig
In Buccaneers. They will be in the Buccaneers.
00:52:30
Ninja
Zig, you can't talk You haven't been here. Our next game of the week.
00:52:34
Zig
nice
00:52:36
Ninja
Colts at Jags. Colts lose a stunner to the Texans. And the Jags beat on the worst team in the NFL. I don't actually think it means they're good. They just beat on the worst team in the NFL.
00:52:49
Ninja
For your Colts, you start your studs. Junior, give me Jonathan Taylor.
00:52:56
Dakota Zeigler
wide
00:52:58
Ninja
Give me Daniel Jones.
00:53:00
Dakota Zeigler
wide wide
00:53:01
Ninja
Give me Tyler Warren.
00:53:05
Ninja
I think Michael Pittman is okay as well. And for your Jags, I think they come to earth this week.
00:53:08
Dakota Zeigler
right
00:53:11
Ninja
Give me Bretton Strange and Jacoby Myers. Then I
00:53:17
Ninja
T-Law is okay if you're dealing with buys this week. you know Brock Purdy, Bryce Young, you know any of that. i kind of I think Trevor Lawrence is going to be okay. I don't love it, but you know if you got to, you got to But any qualms here, I'll throw it to Zig, because it's so nice seeing and you in the bottom left corner of my screen like I'm used to.
00:53:42
Zig
Yeah, this is the Colts all the way. The Colts should roll over. What is your guys' worry with, or do you have a worry with Daniel Jones in this, you know, was it fibula fracture he has? He's playing through it, but...
00:53:57
Ninja
He's definitely playing hurt and he doesn't look the same. i I do understand where you're getting at.
00:54:00
Dakota Zeigler
Doesn't run as much. Doesn't look as smooth.
00:54:04
Zig
So, I guess my question is, still Super Bowl contenders or no?
00:54:11
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, I think he'll get healthy by the playoffs.
00:54:12
Ninja
Yes.
00:54:13
Zig
You think they'll be fine by then?
00:54:13
Ninja
Yes.
00:54:14
Dakota Zeigler
my My take is give me Jonathan Taylor two plus touchdowns. It's because Jones is not going to be running the ball, and I don't have to worry about him vulturing goal line touchdowns.
00:54:20
Zig
What?
00:54:21
Ninja
Yes.
00:54:26
Dakota Zeigler
So give me JT two plus.
00:54:27
Zig
Love that.
00:54:27
Ninja
Love it.
00:54:29
Dakota Zeigler
Not one.
00:54:29
Ninja
Love it.
00:54:30
Dakota Zeigler
I want two.
00:54:32
Ninja
You want two of them thangs. Speaking of two plus thangs. We got Steelers at Ravens. Both teams lost.
00:54:42
Ninja
Thank you. Thank you. I'm glad you guys saw the joke in that. Both teams lost in miraculous fashion last week. Almost unprecedented fashion last week. And...
00:54:53
Ninja
As a question you guys, and we'll throw it to you guys a little bit later. Should either team fire their head coach? I saw a lot of buzz about both of those teams this week about firing their head coach. I'd like to hear about that.
00:55:05
Ninja
For the Steelers, I think Warren and DK are okay. And then, And for the Ravens, I still think you need to start Lamar and Henry.
00:55:18
Ninja
I don't love it, but I think you can't sit them. I think you need to lower expectations, but there's no way you're sitting these guys. Which really stinks, because I don't like either of them this game.
00:55:29
Ninja
But you know who I do love this game? A cheeky little Rashad Bate in this game. Get me him over 75 yards and a touchdown. What? But for you guys, throwing it back at you guys, do you feel like you guys need to see a head coach departure? Because I've been seeing it all over my feed this week. Zig, what are your thoughts here?
00:55:54
Zig
I don't think so. I think Lamar Jackson is kind of just in a slump. I think he's going to come out at a two-time MVP. I mean, he's he's an absolute player. They'll figure it out.
00:56:08
Zig
The Steelers need a quarterback. I mean, Mike Tomlin, here's the thing. Do they need a new head coach to win a Super Bowl? Yes. I don't think Mike Tomlin's a guy there anymore to win a Super Bowl. So in that scenario, yes. Before the play and everything happening right now, I think that's more on the the quarterback play, more or less.
00:56:32
Dakota Zeigler
My take is that Tomlin is the James Franklin of the NFL.
00:56:39
Zig
Yeah. but
00:56:40
Ninja
God, that's such a good take.
00:56:40
Dakota Zeigler
this
00:56:41
Zig
good.
00:56:42
Dakota Zeigler
The Steelers will never get better.
00:56:42
Ninja
Caught that? But Jesus.
00:56:44
Dakota Zeigler
Yes, thank you. I know. I'm a football guy. I know ball.
00:56:48
Zig
more.
00:56:50
Dakota Zeigler
The Steelers will never get better than what they are with Mike Tomlin. They need a quarterback. They need to get you younger on the offensive line. They need to get better players on defense. They need a lot. They're fine. They're okay.
00:57:04
Dakota Zeigler
They'll be 8-9, 9-8, They'll be right in there.
00:57:10
Dakota Zeigler
but They'll never be better than they are. I don't think they'll fire. i don't think either one of these teams, but like Harbaugh is not going to get fired from Baltimore. I think for them to move on, both teams to move on, it would need to be like a mutual departure kind of thing like Bill Belichick did in New England where it's like, hey, maybe these this would be better for both of us. But i don't so i cant I don't see a scenario where one of them gets fired.
00:57:33
Zig
you
00:57:34
Dakota Zeigler
It's more of like they either retire or they do the mutual parting ways east thing.
00:57:41
Ninja
Yeah, I hear you there. And moving on from that, because I think that's a little, I think that's something we're going to get into more in the off season when we do off season stuff. And one thing I want to throw to these guys is some off season rebuilds. You know what I mean?

Me and Zig tried to do it before this podcast was a thing was fix your division. And we went team by team, all this stuff. Also branched off of the NFL Stack Exchange, so be sure to follow those guys. I love those guys immensely. think they're very funny.
00:58:11
Ninja
But our next game of the week, and Zig, you're going to have to mute yourself or stay quiet or, Junior, do it for me. It's Broncos at Raiders.
00:58:22
Ninja
Boom!
00:58:24
Ninja
You both stink. Yes, all all the ills, all the gross.
00:58:32
Dakota Zeigler
the grouse. Sorry.
00:58:34
Ninja
Thank you. For the Broncos, I i think I like Harvey and Sutton. Then I'm out. And for the Raiders, give me Gentian Bowers. As Zig has said in this podcast famously, they suck against running backs and tight ends. I'm taking them here. And as a side note here, give me the Raiders. All right.
00:58:55
Ninja
You know what I mean? Junior, before Zig can go on some rant that I don't want him to go on, any thoughts here about this game? That will be a stinker, but I'm trying to hype up just because Zig's back.
00:59:07
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, no qualms. A little divisional battle here. i actually agree with you. Not even just trying to point in Zig's face, but i think the Raiders are very live in this game at home. in a divisional matchup rj harvey love rj harvey obviously but him kind of sprinkling a little you know cherry on top of his god-awful russian game he went like 13 for like 30 on the ground but he had two touchdowns so everything's okay i still love him i still think he's great it's just know I would love to see some more yardage and production out of him.
00:59:38
Dakota Zeigler
And love Sutton, love Brock, love Gentile. No qualms there, but i think the very right I think the Raiders are legit very live in this game.
00:59:47
Zig
You guys ready?
00:59:50
Ninja
And moving on here, I'm kidding.
00:59:50
Zig
So...
00:59:53
Dakota Zeigler
I muted him. Go.
00:59:55
Ninja
Okay, cool. Bear...
00:59:56
Zig
Wow! That was a good timing, Gary.
00:59:59
Ninja
it
00:59:59
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
01:00:00
Zig
Here's the thing. We are 10-2.
01:00:02
Zig
And I'm very grateful we are 10-2 because after that game, we should have been 9-3. I am...
01:00:08
Ninja
You should be like 7 and 5.
01:00:10
Zig
Mute him for me. Let me finish my take. Let me me let me finish my take. Thank you. Damien glazes the Chiefs because of the refs. He doesn't glaze them. He hates them. But he said he always complains about the refs winning the or the Chiefs games, right?
01:00:29
Zig
The refs won us that game last week. Hands down, the the calls that they're making, the false start, and I'm like, who?
01:00:32
Dakota Zeigler
me Yeah.
01:00:38
Zig
What? On Terry? what like Even I'm questioning. It's such a bad call. Those refs need to be fired. That was so bad. We should have hands down lost that game.
01:00:49
Zig
If Nick Benito isn't as elite and his name should be brought up more, we would have lost that game easily. he's He's the reason we won it outside of the refs.
01:01:00
Zig
In this game, I don't hate the Raiders outright as an honest football game. But here's the thing. Bet it in the third quarter because the Raiders are going to be up. It's going to look like they're going to run away with the game. The Broncos, that's going to be the highest odds.
01:01:17
Zig
You know, like the Broncos are going to come back and then make it a game. So bet it before the fourth because, mean, take it now is probably your best odds because it's going to get even higher and higher, lower odds. And then the Broncos come back and make it a game in the fourth quarter every time.
01:01:34
Zig
Yeah. But like Damien said, it's the running back. It's the tight end. It's Brock and Gentry. I don't even like Harvey this game. Max is going to destroy our line. Mad Max is elite.
01:01:50
Zig
Sutton, maybe.
01:01:50
Dakota Zeigler
You guys have a good offensive line. I wouldn't take away too much credit from you.
01:01:54
Zig
We have a we haveve a decent line. I've seen Max go against decent lines. It doesn't matter.
01:01:59
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, I mean, Crosby's going to yeah croie's gonna eat you up, but he's going to do that to everybody.
01:01:59
Zig
He's one of those players.
01:02:03
Zig
I mean, if Gentile, or if,
01:02:05
Zig
The If Harvey couldn't run against the Commanders, I don't know how he runs against the Raiders. I just don't.
01:02:18

Not bad.
01:02:49
Zig
You live audience.
01:02:52

But I promise you, he's not worth the buzz. It's all me and Junior. Anyways. The Packers are one of the most complete teams in the NFL. I've been saying it.
01:03:01
Ninja
Junior's been saying it. We've seen this from these guys for a long time.
01:03:03
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
01:03:05

It's just, can they put it together? And they did. For the Bears, I like DeAndre Swift. What?

He's going to find it. And I think it's his name.
01:03:44

01:04:10
Ninja
He doesn't even let me finish my thoughts. This guy. I love you, Zigg.
01:04:16
Zig
Who is playing worse right now? Not playing worse because Justin Jefferson isn't playing bad. He just has a bad quarterback. But, I mean, who would you rather start? Jay Jets or Roma Dunze right now? They both had two fantasy points last week.
01:04:32
Dakota Zeigler
I would play Justin Jefferson because
01:04:37
Dakota Zeigler
because i don't really know i i actually don't have like a fantasy take of about it.
01:04:40
Ninja
You don't see your studs.
01:04:42
Dakota Zeigler
I trust more.
01:04:42
Ninja
That's the fantasy take. You don't see your studs.
01:04:44
Dakota Zeigler
But we said this earlier.
01:04:44
Zig
because i think You have one spot left.
01:04:45
Ninja
That's it.
01:04:46
Dakota Zeigler
i would I would play Christian Watson over just Justin Jefferson.
01:04:50
Ninja
Dude, you're so disgusting.
01:04:52
Dakota Zeigler
I would. there's the way You can't tell me there's there's not more upside to Christian Watson right now than there is Justin Jefferson.
01:04:53
Ninja
You're gross.
01:05:00
Ninja
I will and I would, but I'm not trying to pick a fight this podcast.
01:05:06
Zig
I'm with you, Junior.
01:05:06
Dakota Zeigler
Sorry about it.
01:05:08
Ninja
Yeah, you're gross, Zig. Your opinion doesn't matter. For the Packers, give me Josh Jacobs, and I'm at wide receiver. Someone's going to blow up, but last week you kind of saw this spread around.
01:05:19
Ninja
You got to pick your poison between Christian Watson, who Junior seems to have a real stiffy about, Romeo Dobbs, Dontavian Wicks, and Matthew Golden.
01:05:25
Dakota Zeigler
Big boy.
01:05:37
Dakota Zeigler
Yes, sir.
01:05:48
Ninja
Any thoughts here? Junior.
01:05:52
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, I love Christian Watson in this matchup. I do think it's going to be a very close divisional game. divisional divisional game In Green Bay, I like Green Bay Packers.
01:06:00
Zig
Thank you.
01:06:03
Dakota Zeigler
i I like Christian Watson here in this offense. Ever since he came back from that injury, he's just been very consistent, and that's kind of unheard of in this Green Bay offense. He's been back for how many weeks now? Six weeks now.
01:06:17
Dakota Zeigler
And three of them have been top 24 wide receiver outings for him. think it's pretty good. In the past three weeks, he's caught three touchdowns. That's what I like to see. And 10 targets last week. I'm a question Christian Watson guy. Matthew Golden's not it No Tucker Craft. Jordan Loves needs someone to throw the ball to. And I like Christian Watson. Zig.
01:06:39
Zig
I just want to add to your point here, Junior. In PFF's ranking right now, Christian Watson is the number 12 ranked wide receiver this week.
01:06:48
Dakota Zeigler
Love it.
01:06:49
Zig
Over Justin Jefferson.
01:06:50
Dakota Zeigler
or is it worth

Ninja
Keep in mind...
01:06:51
Dakota Zeigler
Where's Justin Jefferson?
01:06:53
Ninja
Whoa, whoa, whoa. No, no, no. That's not fair, guys. You're talking about Max Prosmer. Guys, if you listen to this podcast at any point, you know that this was...
01:07:00
Zig
JJ McCarthy's coming back.
01:07:06
Ninja
I said I scouted 14 quarterbacks in this horrendous quarterback class. You know what Max Brosmer finished as?
01:07:15
Ninja
Quarterback 14 of 14, the worst of the Our next game of the week is Rams at
Rams vs Cardinals Preview
01:07:22
Ninja
Cardinals. The Rams got upset at the Panthers. Called that.
01:07:27
Ninja
If you guys listen to the pod and the Cardinals struggle against a good Bucks team, which everyone thought they would for your Rams, you start your studs Stafford, Nakua Adams, Kyron Williams, all great this week.
01:07:38
Ninja
I really do think Kyron Williams has an uptick this week. Give me two plus touchdowns from Kyron Williams. And for your cards, I think you have to sit them all but McBride. I think Marvin Harrison is okay if you have to. I don't love it. Any thoughts here for this 425 game this week? Junior.
01:08:00
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, I got no qualms. My only thing is Blake Corum got a lot of work last week, ended up scoring a touchdown as well. I do see him getting more involved in the offense. I still love Kyron Williams. I'm not saying don't play Kyron Williams, but just keep an eye out, see how much usage Blake Corum ends up getting again this week. Because I i do think he looked good last week against Panthers when he did get to play.
01:08:26
Zig
The only thing I'll add here, I have no qualms with any of that, is the Cardinals need to do something with Marvin Harrison Jr. Michael Wilson looked phenomenal, and you know why? They were getting him the ball in space, making routes for him.
01:08:40
Zig
Why don't they do that with Marv? Do that with Marv. That team will ascend. That's it. Move on.
01:08:48
Ninja
God, I didn't think I would like something Zig had to say today because it's the first time in like seven weeks he's joined us, but I actually liked what he had to say.
01:08:56
Dakota Zeigler
Thank you.
01:08:57

So I'll keep it moving to the Sunday night football game of the
Texans vs Chiefs Hopes
01:09:02

week. It's Texans at the Chiefs and for the love of God, Texans, please do it for us.
01:09:04
Zig
you
01:09:08
Ninja
Do it for all of us. Beat the Chiefs. Continue to be good with whatever quarterback you decide to roll out there, whether it's Davis Mills, CJ Stroud, whoever you decide is better for you. Just keep doing it.
01:09:22
Ninja
And the Chiefs, last week they lost like everyone thought they would. If you bet the Chiefs last week, head in our DMs and get scolded for how much of a bum you are. and for the Texans this week, and'm I'm not sorry.
01:09:33
Zig
Sorry, Anna.
01:09:37
Ninja
Anna, get bad.
01:09:39
Ninja
know what mean?
01:09:40
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, honor sucks.
01:09:43
Ninja
For this week, Texans, give me Nico Collins. Let's go. And then also, give me Jaden Higgins.
01:09:58
Ninja
And then for your Chiefs, give me Rasheed Rice. I think he's a dog this week. And then Mahomes is good, like me and Junior talked about earlier in this podcast. He's definitely been over expectations for what we thought before the year started, but I think he's a very good start this week.
01:10:18
Ninja
I think Kelsey is okay. And then I don't like any running back here for either team. Zig, I'll throw it to you first because I finally get to throw it to you because you finally decided to join the podcast. How are you doing, buddy?
01:10:34
Zig
No, I'm doing pretty good. and i The only question I have here, and it's a full question, because I don't know what to do with this player, x Xavier Worthy. What do you do with him? Is he just a flat-out hold for the rest of the year?
01:10:50
Zig
I'm not starting him. I don't want to start him. I think there's more better like better players. like it's Not better players, but almost matchups and players I want to start over him.
01:11:01
Zig
But I don't think he's a sell either in this offense. I love everything they have to say. I mean, put him at running back. Make this a Madden game because all those running backs are not that great. He'd at least have some upside there. I don't know.
01:11:12
Zig
what are you What are you guys doing with Worthy?
01:11:14
Dakota Zeigler
You're just holding at this point. You have to just hold. Nothing else you can do.
01:11:18
Ninja
You're just looking at how cute he is on your bench and that's it. That's it.
01:11:22
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah. Like one of these weeks had put up like two touchdowns like 100 yards.
01:11:25
Ninja
And he's very cute on your... He's so cute on your bench, you just can't get him off your bench.
01:11:33
Ninja
But going into what could have been the game of the week, but it wasn't. Because I'm not biased. I am, but I'm not biased. Monday Night Football, Eagles at
Eagles vs Chargers Analysis
01:11:45
Ninja
Chargers. We already talked about this. The birds stink.
01:11:49
Ninja
I won't go on a Kevin Petula rant, but after next week, I might as well do it because I've already been there, done that.
01:11:58
Zig
but
01:11:58
Ninja
I thought I'd give you guys a little bit of a break this week, but if it's bad again this week, you best believe I'm on my i'm on my grind about that Kevin Petula being out anywhere.
01:12:01
Zig
and
01:12:09
Dakota Zeigler
Sad boy hours over here.
01:12:21
Dakota Zeigler
Please.
01:12:26
Ninja
For your Birds, you start them all, even though they continue to disappoint you, as they always do. But A.J. Brown has been electric the past couple weeks. But someone's going to disappoint you.
01:12:36
Ninja
And by some of them, probably at least three or four. But I can't sit him. I won't sit him. And I don't think there's any reason to sit him. For your Chargers, it all depends on Herbert.
01:12:48
Ninja
That's it. If he's a go, like Justin Herbert. I like a Martin Hampton. I like a Lionel McConkie. I like a Ronda Gaston. As all okay starts, not great, but okay. If Herbert is out, look to sit all of them.
01:13:03
Ninja
I think it's a gross matchup for all of them. And if Herbert's not at the helm, then I'm very well out. And then for a non-biased opinion, I'll throw it to Zigg once again. Good to see you buddy.
01:13:16
Ninja
Actually enjoying the time with the brothers.
01:13:19
Zig
Yeah, i this is always a good time to be on the podcast. One day it'll be a priority for me. One day.
01:13:25
Dakota Zeigler
Mm-hmm.
01:13:25
Zig
Anyway, here's the thing.
01:13:30
Zig
You got to start the birds. I agree with the Chargers. I hope Herbert plays. If Herbert plays, I think this kind becomes a very close game, a very good game.
01:13:41
Zig
Without Herbert, and it's, you know, third overall Trey Lance,
01:13:48
Zig
We'll see. We'll see. You know, I think his rushing may...
01:13:50
Ninja
It was part of my review. I like it.
01:13:53
Zig
Yeah, we'll we'll see. This whole Saquon thing, I hear every week, it's right here in our notes, give me a big Saquon day. You guys say this every week.
01:14:02
Dakota Zeigler
It's not happening.
01:14:04
Zig
If Kevin Petula is your OC, Saquon's not having a day. You can't sit him, but he's not. He's scored over 20 points in fantasy one time this year.
01:14:16
Zig
One. You can't expect anything big out of Saquon. Saquon's a jag right now.
01:14:21
Ninja
Guess what? I ain't sitting on him when does put up that 20-point game. You know what i mean, Junior? What up?
01:14:28
Zig
Damien's going to lose starting Saquon, J-Jets, and Roma Dunze because they're going to score him 10 collective points. Anyway, Junior?
01:14:38
Ninja
God, this guy is so mean for his first time back. You know what i mean? He's so mean.
01:14:44
Dakota Zeigler
But it's just so true.
01:14:44
Zig
Am I wrong, Junior? Am I wrong? Yep.
01:14:47
Ninja
Don't you dare agree with him, you bum.
01:14:50
Dakota Zeigler
it's Here's my take. If Justin Herbert plays, I think the Chargers win the game.
01:15:01
Zig
I didn't have the guts to say it, Junior.
01:15:03
Dakota Zeigler
the We're very bad. If if if Justin Herbert doesn't play, I still like playing Amari and Hampton. I still like Lad McConkie because we don't have a player that can really keep up with him right now.
01:15:19
Dakota Zeigler
And that's probably it.
01:15:20

We
01:15:59

But yeah, I have no faith.
01:16:00

Because most weeks he likes to see me fail, but this week, guess what?
01:16:00
Dakota Zeigler
I have no trust.
01:16:05

A middle finger. Cheers, truly.
01:16:06
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah, one.
01:16:06
Ninja
How you doing?
01:16:08
Dakota Zeigler
But yeah, that's my take. If Trey Lance is a starting quarterback for the Chargers, give me an Eagles defense anytime touchdown. That guy stinks.
01:16:17
Dakota Zeigler
And if Trey Lance doesn't play, then I like a Saquon Barkley big game even more because he'll be up and just running the ball. Because that's just what we do when we we're up. We just run the ball and waste waste time like we did against the Cowboys.
01:16:31
Dakota Zeigler
But yeah, I hate this team. It makes me so mad. I'm so frustrated with everything about this football team. And the fact that I can't even rely on our defense to be Super Bowl level is just sad.
01:16:46
Ninja
if
01:16:47

Expectations are too high.

that so forth
01:18:16
Dakota Zeigler
my pick this week My pick this week, I am going with a bounce-back game for Jackson, Schmidt, and Jigba.
01:18:16
Ninja
Moving on to junior this week. Yep.
01:18:24
Dakota Zeigler
Give me JSN. Anytime touchdown. I had a minus 110. Zig said he's got plus 105 on DK. Give me the plus 105. I like a big bounce-back game for JSN against the Falcons.
01:18:36
Dakota Zeigler
Anytime touchdown. Love it.
01:18:38
Zig
that That's a phenomenal pick. That was mine going into it. and you know I'll take the hit. I'm not going to complain. I showed up late. That's that's on me. but When I saw it in here, i is a little bit sad because that is...
01:18:49
Zig
you know
01:18:49
Ninja
We're glad you showed up at all, you bum.
01:18:53
Zig
Strike him out. JSN had a down week because of the game jerk. They didn't need him. He's going to fire back. He's going to blow up this game. He's going to do what he's going to do. Real quick before I say mine.
01:19:05
Zig
JSN. hits 2000 yards this year. Yay or nay? Real quick.
01:19:10
Ninja
We said yes last week.
01:19:10
Dakota Zeigler
yeah Even if you listen, dude.
01:19:12
Zig
You said yes and that.
01:19:12
Ninja
God, if only you were here. if only you were here!
01:19:15
Dakota Zeigler
Just listen, man.
01:19:17
Zig
Okay.
01:19:17
Ninja
So this means you don't even listen to the podcast.
01:19:21
Zig
I did listen to it, but he had almost nothing this week. That hurts a player. They need every game. They hit 2000 yards.
01:19:28
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
01:19:29
Zig
I'm taking one of Damien's guys. He said he liked this week. I'm taking the Bucs' Chris Godwin. Coming back off of injury, I thought they'd ease him back in. The kid lit it up last week. He looked really good. And I think against the saintins off or Saints defense is a great time to score a touchdown coming back, getting into the group of things.
01:19:50
Zig
and Looking at that all together, you got JSN. I'm taking the plus 105 odds. Jamar Chase at minus 140. And Chris Godwin's at plus 180 right now. Total odds brings you 884. Damien?
01:20:07
Zig
daen
01:20:09
Ninja
i'm I'm sure Junior's working on math for that. Thank you, Junior. Give me your math.
01:20:14
Dakota Zeigler
For the record, my math that I was doing, which you probably heard me clicking, was i was calculating how many yards a game JSN has to average the rest the season to accumulate to 2,000 yards because he's at 1,334 or 36.
01:20:26
Zig
and What is it?
01:20:29
Dakota Zeigler
or thirty six I'm sorry. He needs to have 133 yards per game the rest of the season in these last five matchups to break 2,000. I think it's doable.
01:20:40
Zig
that's That's definitely doable. Like I said,
01:20:41
Dakota Zeigler
couple big weeks, couple 100-yard weeks, but he needs a couple big, big weeks, like 180 yards.
01:20:48
Zig
that's the thing. One game hurts players like this, going for records. He's playing Atlanta, Indianapolis, the Rams, Carolina, San Francisco.
01:20:59
Ninja
It's so doable.
01:20:59
Zig
Not great matchups, but not bad ones either.
01:21:01
Ninja
That's so doable.
01:21:02
Zig
they'rere They're mediocre. So...
01:21:03
Dakota Zeigler
it's a and' Right now, it's I would say they're plus matchups. Atlanta's a good matchup. Indy's a good matchup. Carolina's a good matchup. San Fran's good matchup.
01:21:14
Ninja
i agree.
01:21:14
Dakota Zeigler
I think it's doable. and Now, with that being said, he's only gotten over 130 yards three times this year, but he's gotten over 100 yards like nine out of 11 weeks. like it's He's right there.
01:21:26
Dakota Zeigler
He needs a couple big, big games.
01:21:27
Zig
He just needs to do a little bit more.
01:21:32
Zig
I'm rooting for it. I'd love to see the kid get it.
01:21:34
Dakota Zeigler
Me too.
01:21:35
Zig
Senior, that's for you because we know you're going to say it back to us like you did all year.
01:21:36
Ninja
And
01:21:40
Zig
But anyway. Oh, that was Joe. I'm sorry.
01:21:42
Ninja
Sp- Dude.
01:21:42
Zig
That's Joe. Senior's the other guy we don't care about. might be My B. My B. Thanks, Joe.
01:21:45
Dakota Zeigler
Please.
01:21:46
Zig
Love to have you back on the podcast. Come on, brother.
01:21:49
Dakota Zeigler
please
01:21:51
Ninja
But for the ninjas, Parlay of the Week! Give me that music, Junior. Thank you. Thank you. Yes. It's going to be great this week.
01:22:03
Ninja
And you guys are wondering why, because I've let you down so many times. But guess what, guys? We're back to a tight end parlay. I have not been more confident about anything in my life.
01:22:18
Ninja
for the Ninjas, Titan Parlay of the Week, guys.
Ninjas Parlay of the Week
01:22:22
Ninja
It's been a minute. Give me AJ Barner at plus 250. I think he's going to have a monster week this week.
01:22:28
Ninja
I think he's going to blow it all the way up. And then give me Bretton Strange at plus 330. I think he has a really good week. Harold Fannin at plus 320. And then Darren Waller, a cheeky little Darren Waller there, at plus 245. If you add all of that math up into a leveling machine that I call gambling...
01:22:50
Ninja
It adds 21,707 odds. Where if you put a measly $5 on it, a cup of coffee, gents. One little energy drink.
01:23:04
Dakota Zeigler
Let's ride,
01:23:06
Ninja
Half of a pack of cigarettes.
01:23:10
Ninja
Whatever your vice is, half of it. Cut it. $5 makes you $1,000, gents. dollars gents Let's ride. Ride with the Ninja one time.
01:23:21
Dakota Zeigler
baby.
01:23:23
Ninja
I'm just asking one time. You ride with the Ninja. And the guys were cutting me off a lot. So maybe I said a lot of bad things. But I wasn't trying to make it sound that way. Or do that type of thing.
01:23:36
Ninja
i was just trying to find contrasting things. And these guys are laughing. So it's probably bad and it'll be cut. But Junior.
01:23:44
Dakota Zeigler
What?
01:23:46
Ninja
Anything for the people, because we actually produce pods. I'm like, Zig, I'm gonna give
01:23:49
Dakota Zeigler
podcasts. We produce podcasts. We host podcasts. We do write-ups for podcasts. We edit podcasts. Zig just shows up and gets to have a kid and a wife and a family and stuff, which is ridiculous.
01:24:01
Ninja
Yeah, like, I, like, he all day to, you know, on to the, add on to the write-up, and just chose not to.
01:24:05
Dakota Zeigler
All day.
01:24:05
Zig
And
01:24:07
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah. Yeah. No, everybody, I saw the Snow Day pictures. I know what the hell you were doing today. You weren't doing jack. I know. you aga You had no excuse. I saw the Snow Day pics. I know. It's okay.
01:24:19
Dakota Zeigler
I appreciate it. i Thank you for coming in, Zig. Good seeing you, as always. Missed you, big guy. But, yeah, thank you guys for listening, as always. Appreciate it. This was a fun one. This was good. As soon as Zig showed up, it just completely got derailed. And I think this is a perfect example of showing what Dakota does to Damien.
01:24:36
Dakota Zeigler
Because, man, does this guy get just all hot and bothered as soon as Zig walks in the door. And he just loses his mind. He has no idea how to control himself or where he's going or where he's been.
01:24:47
Zig
Thank
01:24:48
Dakota Zeigler
It's just all, i oh God, I need to make this guy feel bad, like, right now. Like, I just, I need to make fun of this dude, like, instantly.
01:24:53
Ninja
Yeah,
01:24:56
Ninja
he gets me in shambles right away.
01:24:57
Dakota Zeigler
It's beautiful. It's beautiful to see.
01:24:58
Ninja
He gets me in shambles. i'm Immediately, as soon as Zig entered the chat, I was off my game. As soon as Zig entered the chat, I knew it was over. For whoever's editing this, because it's not me. I'll tell you that, guys.
01:25:12
Zig
but
01:25:12
Ninja
Whoever's editing this is in shambles right now. Because Zig also gets me off my game so much.
01:25:17
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
01:25:20
Ninja
And I'm just in shambles. Every time this guy... Because it's it's a surprise at this point, guys. It's a surprise. It's it's a It's a good fortune of the yeah dice roll.
01:25:31
Ninja
We're rolling snake eyes for when Zig can actually get on this podcast. Because he doesn't care about us anymore. So when we get him on, it's just it just throws me off my game. I was expecting a fluid pod like we've always had.
01:25:44
Ninja
And it just hasn't happened.
01:25:44
Dakota Zeigler
Yeah.
01:25:45
Dakota Zeigler
A tight minute hour 20.
01:25:46
Ninja
But...
01:25:49
Ninja
But for the guy who finally decided to join the people, and I know the people have been asking for, maybe, I don't know, I don't read the comments. But
01:25:57
Dakota Zeigler
They're not.
01:25:59
Ninja
so we've been missing in our podcast. Zig, anything before we throw it out of here, brother?
01:26:07
Zig
So couple of things here. One real MVP. Here's my wife holding on the four. I got a text about five minutes ago saying my kid finally went to bed. She's been up. Yeah. Yeah.
01:26:19
Zig
She's the reason I'm here on the pod because she's like, I got this. You just go hang out with the boys for a little bit. So shout out to my wife. Absolutely love her. That's why i feel bad as a father leaving my son alone to go to bed, leave my wife to do it alone. But she she does it for me. She's very grateful. She knows that time with the boys here is what we need. So thank you to her.
01:26:41
Dakota Zeigler
I'm sorry.
01:26:42
Zig
Cut this.
01:26:42
Zig
I need i need some...
01:26:44
Ninja
Ha ha ha ha
01:26:44
Zig
some Jesus, Gary.
01:26:47
Dakota Zeigler
What?
01:26:51
Zig
Do you see? I live rent-free in these boys' heads, by the way. More than Damien and Gary's, but I just live rent-free here.
01:26:58
Ninja
but
01:26:58
Zig
Here's the thing. Bring this back to podcast, boys. Ready? Ready? Suck it up. Let's bring it back here. Did you guys know we were in top 10 in the podcast last week?
01:27:09
Ninja
No, what are you talking about?
01:27:11
Zig
For the musical podcast because of all you guys singing copyrighted music the whole time.
01:27:11
Ninja
No, we were not.
01:27:15
Dakota Zeigler
No way, really?
01:27:16
Zig
No, we weren't.
01:27:17
Ninja
So I need to do it more?
01:27:19
Zig
No, but oh my gosh, there was so much.
01:27:19
Dakota Zeigler

01:27:22
Ninja
Shine bright like a diamond?
01:27:24
Zig
We turned into a musical over here.
01:27:25
Ninja
Shine bright like a diamond?
01:27:27
Dakota Zeigler
We turned into a musical podcast.
01:27:29
Zig
You guys turned into a musical?
01:27:29
Dakota Zeigler
That's amazing.
01:27:30
Ninja
Come on!
01:27:31
Zig
Anyway, absolutely loved it. No, it's great to be back. I do listen back to these pods. I do hear everything guys say, every little jab that Ninja throws at me. Again, living rent-free even when I'm not around.
01:27:42
Zig
So...
01:27:42
Ninja
There were so many jabs, especially late in that podcast.
01:27:46
Dakota Zeigler
Yes.

Zig
So late for no reason.
01:27:46
Ninja

Zig
And getting myself in in in the Christmas and holiday spirit.
01:27:50
Ninja
Well, I wouldn't say without reason, you're not here. You're not here. So, you know what? You can't defend yourself. So, guess what? Up yours, brother.
01:28:00
Zig

What
01:29:21
Ninja
I'm behind on my scouting. Ziggs no longer here with us. It's just me and Junior in the abyss. And we tried it one time and decided it just wasn't for us.
01:29:31
Ninja
And by wasn't for us, it means Junior was busy that day. i can of made think i could have made it up on the fly. But Junior was like, nope, I got i have family things to do you absolute gentlemen.
01:29:44
Dakota Zeigler
what can I say?
01:29:44
Ninja
but
01:29:45
Ninja
Yeah, dude, what what a stud. But to throw it out for us, you know, just be a good human being out there in the world. Just be that the humble guy out there. Because I know it's the holiday season. Hopefully, because we haven't talked about it yet, you enjoyed your Thanksgiving with your friends, with your family. Hopefully you ate a lot. You boozed a lot. You absolutely enjoyed all the football that was being played because we said they were going to be bangers.
01:30:12
Ninja
