I want to say a big thank you to everyone for for all their questions. Very much appreciated. We've got a lot of questions to to to get into today. So um we'll not waste any time.
Future QB1 Debate
00:01:35
Nacc
We'll dive right in with um with our first question. This one comes from a fellow member of the Bush League, Stammers. um If the season ended today, who is your QB one next year? Raj.
00:01:50
Roger Emeka
Josh Allen. like ah after the After the three passing touchdowns, three rushing touchdown game, like he's QB1 until further notice, man, in the fantasy.
00:01:53
Nacc
It's not closed.
00:02:02
Roger Emeka
like And further notice could mean the next eight years. That's nuts. like Legit.
00:02:08
Nacc
Yeah, I don't know. I can't can disagree.
00:02:09
Roger Emeka
Legit.
00:02:12
Fabio
I mean, you can make an argument for Burrow and Lamar because right now Lamar has more points than Josh Allen and Burrow is only three points away.
00:02:17
Nacc
He does not. He does not. I checked.
00:02:21
Fabio
Lamar has not, does not have more points than who yeah, Lamar.
00:02:21
Roger Emeka
Depends what format.
00:02:22
Nacc
lamar Lamar has more points than Burrow.
00:02:25
Fabio
Yes. And Burrow has three points less.
00:02:25
Nacc
I heard Burrow.
00:02:28
Fabio
So you can make an argument for all three of them to be honest with you. And you wouldn't be wrong either way. Yeah, obviously the consensus is Josh Allen, but if you're looking for most points, it's not Josh Allen.
00:02:39
Fabio
It's Lamar Jackson.
00:02:43
Nacc
Sure, but I mean, we're talking next year.
00:02:47
Fabio
Yeah.
00:02:48
Nacc
ah I mean, i'm if I'm first overall in a two QB league, i'm I'm taking Josh Allen before I take before I take the other two.
00:02:52
Fabio
Absolutely. And you're not wrong for that. You're not wrong for that.
00:02:55
Roger Emeka
You're just not saying it's a slam dunk.
00:02:56
Nacc
Personally.
00:02:57
Fabio
Yeah, that's it. I just don't think it's as like a for sure Josh on.
00:02:58
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:03:00
Fabio
I'm like, well, the likelihood, I mean, listen, Josh Allen in the last six years has finished QB three or better. So yeah, for sure. And that Lamar last year wasn't a great year, even though he won the MVP.
00:03:12
Nacc
That's I feel like I feel like less.
00:03:12
Fabio
So I can definitely.
00:03:15
Nacc
with with Lamar and that that's that you just said it. He's finished top three the last six years.
00:03:20
Fabio
I was more consistent for sure.
00:03:21
Nacc
I think you have you you have the higher consistent floor when taking.
00:03:23
Fabio
Yeah.
00:03:24
Roger Emeka
yeah which is that floor is still very, very high, right?
00:03:28
Fabio
Yeah.
00:03:28
Roger Emeka
like
00:03:28
Nacc
Yeah, yeah, and and with that game, Alan is now now 20 points behind Lamar.
00:03:29
Fabio
The floor, the better than most ceilings.
00:03:35
Roger Emeka
That will need you to do the standard deviations of each QB in terms of like, yeah, I think, and that will really give us like the right, like who's better, yeah.
00:03:41
Fabio
I can do that. Sure. Yeah, I can do that.
00:03:45
Fabio
Yeah. Is that do you need that for next week or
Player Matchup Analysis
00:03:49
Fabio
hold on?
00:03:49
Nacc
uh, preferably, preferably before the end of the episode, we'll move on to our, uh, to our next question.
00:03:49
Fabio
Give me, give me 15 minutes. Okay. Hold on. I'm just gonna put myself on mute. Okay.
00:03:56
Nacc
Uh, this one comes from a burris. Uh, he's saying Garendo or Pollard. And who should start, who, who should you start Garendo over basically?
00:04:08
Nacc
And is he a top 12 guy?
00:04:12
Nacc
ah
00:04:13
Fabio
I mean, I don't think parental is going to play this week. I mean, there it's a short week. So obviously it's, uh, he didn't, he didn't practice this week. I just saw Shanahan's, uh, coach speak or whatever, seeing how they, they hope he can still be healthy even without practicing for Thursday. So that kind of is concerning. Uh, so this week, I think you might have to go Pollard, but assuming that he's healthy for the rest of the way, I think he's a top 12 guy. I do. I mean, I can see him starting over.
00:04:40
Fabio
over over some other players that like you might be a little bit on the fence on. I mean, the the offense is going to run through him, right? You have to assume. So I think he's definitely a top 12 guy the rest of the way, assuming he's healthy.
00:04:50
Roger Emeka
Like Chubba Hubbard is 12th right now in Chuba, Chuba.
00:04:54
Fabio
Chubba Hubbard, I can't count him out, man. Every single week, you think he's going to have a tough week. And now that Jonathan Brooks is off for the rest of the season, prayers up to him because, man, the rookie tore his
00:05:01
Nacc
Wow, I didn't really, I don't think he really had any, was he wasn't seeing.
00:05:04
Fabio
No, you assume there's going to be a bit of an impact for the rest of the way, but yeah, Grendel, Grendel is definitely a top, top 15 guy for sure. For sure.
00:05:12
Roger Emeka
Look, if he plays, like you can't go wrong either way. The Bengals are fifth in points to running backs in the last four games. And the Rams are seventh. And we just we just saw what Dowell did through against ah the Bengals.
00:05:25
Roger Emeka
So I think you can't go wrong either way.
00:05:27
Fabio
Hmm.
00:05:27
Roger Emeka
um But yeah, if it looks like Garendo is not going to play. And even if he does, he might be hobbled. You might see Patrick Taylor Jr. a bit more. So I'd probably lean Pollard. And yeah, for me, who do you start him over?
00:05:38
Roger Emeka
I think potentially the the Truba Hubbard's, the John Connor, James Connor, excuse me. um Aaron Jones, but like I'm not starting him over.
00:05:44
Nacc
Hmm.
00:05:47
Fabio
Yeah, I don't disagree.
00:05:50
Roger Emeka
I think like David Montgomery level, that's like the most and and anything above that, I'm not starting him over over some of those guys.
00:05:57
Nacc
Interesting. I don't know. I would look at match up as well, but I guess I'll, I guess I'll agree.
00:06:01
Roger Emeka
Yeah, for sure.
00:06:04
Nacc
Um. Another question here from Burris. I guess he was on a roll the other day. and Stuck at Y receiver in the playoffs, Muni or Odunze the rest of the way?
00:06:16
Nacc
ah
00:06:16
Roger Emeka
Yeah, Mooney just came out of 6 for 142 against the Vikings. It was really, really solid. And I think Fabio, you wrote in our show notes, like he's it looks like he's outpacing Drake London. And even for for this week in particular, he's going to play the Raiders who play a lot of man coverage and Mooney has ah a 78 PFF grade against man.
00:06:40
Roger Emeka
ah So I like that matchup and to me a dunes is just a bit too just a bit too up and down Gets a lot of targets, but doesn't get to a lot of a lot of catches. so
00:06:51
Fabio
Yeah, I'm right there with him.
00:06:51
Nacc
He's a.
00:06:54
Nacc
Man, I don't know what a great season he said he has he has more fantasy points than Jaden Reed, Cooper Cup, Jordan Addison, McConkey, Shakir, Nico Collins, AJ Brown.
00:06:58
Fabio
Yeah.
00:07:00
Roger Emeka
So Yeah
00:07:04
Fabio
I think he has more fancy points and I think he has more fancy points than Drake London right now. in the last few weeks.
00:07:10
Nacc
No, i London is still London is still ahead of him, but. By about 20 points, but London had London's beginning of the year was was a little bit better.
00:07:21
Fabio
Yeah.
00:07:21
Nacc
But yards wise, they are a neck and neck. He has more yards than and London at the moment.
00:07:30
Nacc
Crazy.
00:07:31
Fabio
yeah
00:07:33
Nacc
OK, I think we're out. I think we're all in agreement with Mooney on this one. Rico Tesso, is it safe to bench Camara or Breece the rest of the season?
00:07:47
Fabio
I mean, it's a, it depends on what your other options are. I see both of them right now are kind of high in RB twos. I mean, Camara slowed down a little bit and Breece is obviously injured, but Breece has a cakewalk of a rest of season schedule and that it's hard to bench when the match-ups are that good in my opinion because.
00:08:04
Fabio
He can still get you those 30 burger points, those 30, those 30 point weeks. We saw it already this year too, a few times. Um, but I, I would lean more towards benching Camara if you have better options, but even that, like that's, that's saying a lot.
00:08:22
Nacc
Yeah, I think your better options have to be like incredibly better options. The only thing I guess that scares me from Breeze is now with the injury and the jets like completely gone for the, like they're, they're, they're, they're completely out of it.
00:08:25
Fabio
Yeah.
00:08:36
Nacc
Maybe they, you know, they don't need to rush him back. And with Alan playing the way he's playing, maybe they, you know, they don't unleash him.
00:08:39
Fabio
no
00:08:44
Nacc
Maybe they do have more of a 50 50 split, but I mean, Camara now with, uh, with car out, I think he's destined to get more. A bit more receptions, little dump offs out of the out of the backfield.
00:08:56
Nacc
So if I'm sitting one of them, maybe it's maybe it's breeze before come command.
00:08:58
Fabio
No. Yep.
00:09:00
Roger Emeka
Play your studs, man. These guys are playing, you can't really sit them. and Especially Kamara, his floor has been so good.
00:09:06
Fabio
Mm-hmm.
00:09:06
Roger Emeka
He's only had one game below double digits and it was in week seven against the the Broncos. He had 8.4 points. Otherwise, he's been above at least 12 points in every game this year.
00:09:18
Roger Emeka
Very solid floor.
00:09:20
Nacc
Yep.
00:09:20
Roger Emeka
Play your studs.
00:09:22
Nacc
Yeah, that's the rule of rule of thumb number one in the playoffs.
00:09:23
Fabio
hundred percent.
00:09:25
Nacc
Don't second guess it. Play your studs. They got you there. Play your studs.
00:09:31
Nacc
Uh, next question here, uh, from junior says, first of all, excellent work all year. You played a part in getting me a well-earned by week, which leads me to my next question. While everyone is stressing out in a week, one of the fantasy playoffs, what's your drink of choice while you sit on the couch with your feet up and watch Sunday football stress-free?
Hosts' Personal Insights & Drinks
00:09:55
Nacc
First of all, thank you for the, uh, thank you for the nice high praise there.
00:09:59
Nacc
Raj, what's your what's your drink of choice?
00:10:02
Roger Emeka
Thank you, Junior, from a Partial Breakaway. Appreciate you guys, always. um i don't I don't live stress-free in fantasy because I'm in five leagues. so But other otherwise, it'd probably be a Negroni. Nice homemade Negroni on a Sunday, trying to watch football on my phone on the zone while my kids are running around with Blippi.
00:10:25
Roger Emeka
and other cartoons on the main screen. That's that's pretty basically how watch I watch football these days, but yeah, it's with ah probably with a Negroni.
00:10:34
Fabio
Yeah, I don't i understand the sentence either, watch football stress free. Uh, but yeah, I guess I would just have a beer on the weekend. I suppose at that point now, but I'll be, even if I'm not drinking, I'm stressed. And even if I don't have a bite, I'm still stressed anyway. So this is just going to be a regular weekend for me, regardless of what my standings is in fantasy football.
00:10:54
Nacc
Yeah, hello Raj, I guess your household is kind of similar to what mine is. And both my kids are getting um Amazon tablets from my parents this this ah this Christmas.
00:11:05
Roger Emeka
Fuck you.
00:11:07
Nacc
So no more blippi on the main screen. Daddy pays the bills here. So daddy, big um my yeah my drink of choice is probably yes, that Negroni.
00:11:18
Nacc
But if it's a nice, you know, Sunday evening, getting ready for the night game it would be a nice glass of scotch. act And now you you know, it's like you don't have to stress from Sunday Night Football either after stressing all day watching all the games and you're just like a nice a nice glass of scotch Yeah, it sucks going one and done after a bye that's the worst feeling ever worst feeling ever
00:11:35
Roger Emeka
Bi-week though, man. You gotta you got to live it up. That means you're really good. That means you gotta win at the end, man. so It's a lot of pressure too.
00:11:41
Fabio
Yeah.
00:11:43
Roger Emeka
A lot of pressure. Yep, it does.
00:11:46
Fabio
Yes.
00:11:47
Roger Emeka
It does.
00:11:49
Nacc
Um, next question comes in from T sags, adding McCormick over hunt for running back and needy team.
Fantasy Player Comparisons
00:12:00
Fabio
that's and That's an easy yes for me. ah you so I think they're starting to ease in Pacheco a lot more than on offense and the Kansas City Chiefs and then McCormick has had some pretty good usage just in the last two games, right?
00:12:11
Fabio
Um, 12 carriers against Kansas city week 13 and 15 carriers against Tampa Bay in week 14. So at the end of the playoff schedule right now, like you kind of want to get guys are going to be getting the rock a lot more.
00:12:23
Fabio
So you might as well just take a flyer because you don't know what can happen. So I would definitely make this move.
00:12:28
Roger Emeka
Yeah, that's a so pretty sincere analysis, I would agree.
00:12:32
Fabio
Thank you.
00:12:32
Nacc
Especially if you don't have a Jekyll, like there's really no reason for you to carry Hunt right now, in my, in my opinion.
00:12:39
Fabio
Yeah. Yeah, if you have Pacheco, I can see you keeping him just in the event that Pacheco goes down. But if you don't, it's like, you know what?
00:12:46
Roger Emeka
Guys, that didn't hit.
00:12:48
Nacc
What happened?
00:12:48
Fabio
Yeah, that hits.
00:12:49
Roger Emeka
That was a very sincere analysis.
00:12:50
Fabio
That hit.
00:12:51
Roger Emeka
Like, oh my God, Jesus.
00:12:51
Fabio
That hits. Sincere McCormick. Very good. Well, we're all done.
00:12:57
Fabio
What more do you want, man?
00:12:58
Nacc
Oh, Raj tried so hard.
00:12:59
Roger Emeka
Nope. Not even, not even a a reaction.
00:13:03
Nacc
no reaction right over our heads right over our heads so we got Ali Kazmian 75 does you won Johnson's tell a value with car out I picked up Cal Calciterra Calciterra okay there you go personally
00:13:03
Roger Emeka
Jeez. Zero reaction.
00:13:06
Fabio
We're too focused, man. It's playoff time. We're too focused.
00:13:07
Roger Emeka
Yeah. Let's go.
00:13:08
Fabio
We got to get these responses going.
00:13:08
Roger Emeka
Let's go.
00:13:21
Roger Emeka
Call, call Katera.
00:13:30
Nacc
tough but tight ends usually are QB's best friends especially when you know you're not throwing downfield so he may have he may still have value I think more than Calcaterra would have in my opinion right this moment I don't know how you guys feel
00:13:47
Fabio
Hmm.
00:13:51
Fabio
I like the, and I like the Philly tight ends. Uh, like Dallas Goddard has always been really good. Well, he's been pretty good this year when he's been healthy and Calcutta has filled in fairly admirably in those, in the, in those games where, where, uh, where he had to be the number one guy. But I think Juwan Johnson just has a higher ceiling. Like regardless of where the QB is.
00:14:13
Roger Emeka
As the sole proprietor of Joanne Johnson stock and in the Joanne Johnson Island business, I've always been a big fan of him. So 16% target share last week. And there's no one else to throw to aside from Camara.
00:14:27
Fabio
yeah
00:14:29
Nacc
Yeah, and I think that with A.J. Brown whining this past weekend, I think they're going to have to throw him the ball a a little bit more and focus more on getting him the ball. So I figure, yeah, maybe stick with Juan Johnson, at least for this week.
00:14:39
Fabio
Yeah.
00:14:43
Nacc
ah Speaking of A.J. Brown, Elvizel, why is A.J. Brown ruining my fantasy life after picking him at nine? I think this one's pretty easy.
00:14:52
Fabio
ah Short answer is because you picked Travis Kelsey right after him.
00:15:01
Nacc
I mean, smarter answer is you passed on Chase and Justin Jefferson and took AJ Brown.
00:15:12
Roger Emeka
A bit defensible. um the The chase was defensible because of the holdout, I'd i'd say.
00:15:13
Fabio
The chase is the principle.
00:15:18
Roger Emeka
Even Justin Jefferson, you just didn't know what to expect with Darnold. But my issue, and I've said it for a while now, is I think Jalen Hurts has some limitations.
00:15:30
Roger Emeka
I don't think he sees the field very well. And when teams play man against him, a lot of man against him, it doesn't make sense because that's when, when it's one-on-one coverage, he knows where to go. When it's a zone defense, that's where he struggles and he has a hard time figuring out where where his his key reads are.
00:15:49
Nacc
Makes sense.
00:15:50
Fabio
Yeah. Yeah. I don't disagree with that.
00:15:52
Nacc
But yes, I think Fab has it correct. You you drafted Kelsey right after, so that didn't that didn't help very much. and That'll do it for our Instagram questions.
00:16:03
Nacc
We're going to get into questions from TikTok. ah Matt Kwan ah says, need help for a half PPR flex. I don't trust Marvin Harrison Jr.
00:16:15
Nacc
My options are Gus, DJ Moore, and Braylon Allen.
00:16:22
Nacc
ah
00:16:22
Roger Emeka
Yeah. I mean, you shouldn't have Gus as an option, first of all. um out I would go DJ more, especially what he did previously with the Vikings a few weeks ago.
00:16:26
Nacc
Yeah.
00:16:32
Roger Emeka
I think that was a good roadmap for him to play well again this week against the Vikes. And I agree. I don't i don't trust Marvin Harrison Jr. either. I don't think the Cardinals trust him either, the way they're they're they're playing him.
00:16:46
Fabio
The only one I would take, yeah, I would agree, but the only one I would take over DJ Moore is actually Berlin Island in the event that Bruce Hall misses another week.
00:16:46
Nacc
I think I tend to agree.
00:16:52
Fabio
I think it's worse the worth the flex play against a very plus matchup against the Jaguars. um The funny thing about Marvin Harrison Jr, if you look at his stats, week in and week out, one week touchdown, one week no touchdown, one week touchdown, one week no touchdown.
00:17:08
Fabio
Last week he didn't have a touchdown. So you have to assume that there's going to be a touchdown this week, but then again, I wouldn't hope on that.
00:17:15
Nacc
Yeah, I wouldn't I wouldn't assume I think it's. Braylon Allen may get a bump if. If resolve doesn't play, but I think at first glance, I think I'm with Raj. I go DJ more in your flex and PTB will put DJ more in your flex or teams gotta be pretty solid. ah Next question comes from Luca underscore 1.0.
MVP & Super Bowl Predictions
00:17:40
Nacc
um Who do you think will scope score the more so most points excuse me this week? Which fantasy player regardless of position?
00:17:50
Nacc
Fab.
00:17:51
Fabio
I have, I mentioned Saquon Barkley there, just cause he's been on a, he's been on a tear all season. I just feel like it's the easiest play, but even, but Derek Henry, uh, playing against the giants this week, I think it's a good play as well to score the most amount of fantasy points.
00:18:05
Fabio
But as I say that you guys saw that Derek Henry cut his hair.
00:18:08
Roger Emeka
What?
00:18:10
Fabio
You didn't see that.
00:18:11
Roger Emeka
No, I didn't.
00:18:11
Nacc
No
00:18:12
Fabio
Yeah, Derek Henry cut his hair. Now he has, he went full just like cornrows. He has like braids and everything. And they're saying that now he lost his aura. So I don't know if that actually means anything, but, uh, yeah, Derek Henry is always a plus. They get a bunch of touchdowns, especially versus the, the very unformidable Giants defense.
00:18:32
Roger Emeka
I'm going to go Jaden Daniels going, quote unquote, home. I think he's playing at New Orleans against the Saints. Kind of returned back to LSU to Baton Rouge. So I'll go Jaden Daniels.
00:18:47
Nacc
Jayden Daniels, eh?
00:18:48
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:18:50
Nacc
Interesting. Very interesting.
00:18:55
Nacc
ah Great, we'll move on to the next question here. Wow, this is gonna be a tough one, I apologize in advance.
00:19:04
Nacc
Jaziah Merchant? Jaziah Merchant? Jaziah? Jaziah?
00:19:09
Fabio
Yeah, that sounds right.
00:19:09
Nacc
um What are your thoughts on the MVP and offensive rookie of the year awards and any Super Bowl predictions? I guess we'll start with you Fabio.
00:19:21
Fabio
I might not, might be an unpopular opinion, especially after what happened with Josh Allen this week, but I think it's still Lamar with Allen and Burrow close behind. Burrow's obviously not going to get it just for how the Bengals have been playing as of late. I think it's a two-headed race between Lamar and Allen.
00:19:34
Fabio
Lamar's been just, he's been like, if last year was a baseline for Lamar Jackson, this year he's just been ripping every single statistical category. And obviously Allen is Allen and you might have to give the edge to Allen just because his team is performing better, especially as of late. But those would be like my two-headed race if I had to choose one. And honorable mention to Sam Darnold, like he's.
00:19:58
Fabio
I know like they're not winning necessarily because of him, but they're definitely not winning in spite of him. And he's been very good this year. And just because I feel like he deserves to have some level was that.
00:20:06
Nacc
Five TDS last week. Five TDS last week.
00:20:10
Fabio
Yeah. I mean, and like yours TD to INT ratio is very good. I think his QB rating is above 100 for the season, if not close to. So, um, it It sucks that he's playing this well in a season where like other quarterbacks are just smashing it.
00:20:23
Fabio
So like he wouldn't necessarily be even looked at or considered, but I just want to give props a little bit ah to Sam Darnold there.
00:20:30
Roger Emeka
I think he's more worthy than Gough.
00:20:32
Fabio
I would agree.
00:20:33
Nacc
100%.
00:20:34
Fabio
Yeah.
00:20:34
Nacc
100%. Lions run a lot more, so I would give him the nod before that.
00:20:37
Fabio
Yeah.
00:20:40
Nacc
Raj, what do you think?
00:20:42
Roger Emeka
Yeah, I would say Allen for sure.
00:20:47
Nacc
I don't I don't know.
00:20:47
Roger Emeka
It's not even, I have nothing else to say.
00:20:48
Nacc
Lamar Lamar. Yeah, Lamar was leading, but he's definitely not leading anymore. um An offensive rookie of the year, did you guys did you guys say?
00:21:00
Fabio
I think but for me it was Jayden Daniels and and I just want to give a shout out to Brian Thomas Jr. who I think out of all the four top NYU receivers were drafted in the first round he was looking to be the most productive this year out of all of them I think.
00:21:18
Roger Emeka
Yeah, I think it's Jayden. It's been up and down for all the rookies, um but I would agree. Good shout out to Brian Thomas Jr. I just want to say I'm surprised how Feels like Joalt hasn't played very well lately for the for the Chargers.
00:21:33
Roger Emeka
um I just want to mention that. I think there was a lot that...
00:21:35
Nacc
He got hurt, eh? He was injured a bit though.
00:21:37
Roger Emeka
He was injured a bit, yeah.
00:21:38
Fabio
Yeah.
00:21:39
Roger Emeka
But just overall, that Chargers online has been really mediocre. And I thought Alt would be way better this year as a maybe sleeper kind of pick for offensive rookie of the year. But we know it always goes to the skill positions.
00:21:52
Nacc
Yeah, and even like. Bonix has is. starting to climb a little bit and that was that was my my pick but then everyone kind of forgets about a guy named Brock Bowers who's just all he's doing is breaking records right like he's got I think he's he's second in a league in receptions not only for tight ends but just in the league like if this guy ends up with over a hundred catches and and eight touchdowns and and he's he's already over he's almost
00:22:09
Fabio
Yeah.
00:22:25
Nacc
He's over or just over we almost over 1,000 yards. like Could he not sneak in with a couple of bad games down the stretch from Daniels or Bo Nicks, let's say? I don't know, man. he's been
00:22:39
Fabio
My argument to that is the same way why you would pick one MVP candidate over another, the team he plays on like Jaden has actually helped Washington make a serious playoff push.
00:22:49
Fabio
And they're most likely going to make the playoffs for the first time. And God knows how long and be of a credible team.
00:22:53
Nacc
But that's an MVP type vote.
00:22:54
Fabio
And you could say the ma same, same article for Bo Nicks.
00:22:55
Roger Emeka
Exactly.
00:22:55
Nacc
That's an MVP type vote. It's not an MVP vote, though.
00:22:57
Roger Emeka
yeah Traditionally, offensive player of the year and offensive rookie of the year, you don't really factor in the team's success.
00:23:05
Nacc
No.
00:23:07
Roger Emeka
It's a bit of an outlier this year because both guys we're talking about, I think those guys will be top two, Daniels and Bo Nicks. They are in playoff contention, so I think they'll get that bump. But I think the the Brock Bowers argument is very valid, especially if you consider who his who is throwing in the ball.
00:23:22
Nacc
Yeah.
00:23:23
Roger Emeka
like it's It's wild how good he's been.
00:23:23
Fabio
Yeah.
00:23:26
Nacc
And quickly, I'll ask both of you, Super Bowl prediction. Start with you, Fab.
00:23:31
Fabio
Uh, bills and Eagles. That's what I would like to see. That's not necessari necessarily who I think is going to be there, but I'm like, cause the chiefs are just going to win that they're super bowl, but I would like to see the bills versus the Eagles.
00:23:41
Nacc
Raj.
00:23:43
Roger Emeka
Chiefs Eagles rematch for me.
00:23:45
Nacc
Wow.
00:23:46
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:23:46
Nacc
Nice. Well, I'd love to see Bill's Lions, but ah ultimately, I think Mahomes will beat Josh Daniels. josh daniel Josh Allen again in the playoffs to go to the Super Bowl, so I think I'm saying Chiefs and Lions.
00:24:02
Fabio
Well, if not him, it's going to be the reps, so either way.
00:24:09
Nacc
Moving on, Jake de Bellis pick one AJ Brown, kiddo neighbors or Kyron Williams.
00:24:17
Fabio
All right.
00:24:21
Roger Emeka
Uh, going for it.
00:24:22
Fabio
ah It's Kyron for me, the AJ Brown really, I mean, maybe he might get his squeaky wheel gets the grease scenario this week, but I've like, I'm not a fan of putting a tight end in, in, in, I guess it's like a flex plot expects flex spot. Excuse me. Neighbors is getting every single target under the sun, but he plays in a really bad offense. So those targets necessarily don't lead to a lot of yards after the catch. Well, he's just stuck in the mud whenever he gets a ball, whenever he gets a catch. So Kyron has been surging last few weeks. He's been really turning it on after putting up a bit of a bit of a dead game through or four weeks ago.
00:24:55
Fabio
um He's been he's been right up there.
00:24:59
Roger Emeka
i'm curious who jake's um tight end is who he's actually starting
00:25:04
Fabio
Probably bars.
00:25:04
Roger Emeka
as has to be their mcbride or like Cause I agree with you, like, Kittle's been so good. It's hard to put him in reflex. I would just start him at tight end, but otherwise in that position, I still feel like a running back, like Kyren, better floor.
00:25:12
Fabio
Yeah.
00:25:18
Roger Emeka
And like, like you said, Fab, he's, he's had a really good stretch again lately. And, uh, we all thought this guy was going to be injured at some point this year and he's, he's been pretty much a clean bill of health all year.
00:25:29
Roger Emeka
And, uh, I think he's played really well.
00:25:33
Nacc
I may be a bit biased, but I think I go kiddo. I'm assuming he probably has a McBride or Bowers in in his in his tight end slot. And this just makes it a beast kind of one-two punch.
00:25:45
Nacc
i'll ah So I think I go kiddo. Neighbors, like you said, he's just lost in that offense right now. AJ Brown, who knows, he's fighting with his brother and Kyron. Kyron's a good pick.
00:25:57
Nacc
I can't i can't disagree on Kyron.
00:25:57
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:25:58
Nacc
I know Corm has been seeing a little bit more of the field though lately.
00:26:00
Roger Emeka
Yep.
00:26:01
Nacc
so um Matt 2.51 thoughts on Marvin Harrison Junior and Devontae Adams this week and will Kincaid play in week 15?
00:26:15
Roger Emeka
Yeah, I mean, we talked about Margaret Harrison Jr. like I would not trust him and.
00:26:20
Nacc
Yeah, I think we all pick Adams in this spot.
00:26:22
Roger Emeka
Yeah, definitely pick Adams.
00:26:22
Fabio
Yeah.
00:26:25
Roger Emeka
Had a good game last week.
00:26:28
Nacc
Yeah, and as far as Dalton Kincaid, He should be back week 15, but I would just keep a keep an eye on it. There's no definitive answer out there as of yet. Next question comes from Mr Tito 11 Jordan Addison or T Higgins in my flex for week 15. Also Arizona defense or Broncos defense.
Wide Receiver & Defense Choices
00:26:53
Fabio
Yeah. So I'm leading Addison here, but only by a little. And this is more for a recency bias than anything else. Um, he's, he's been on a, he's been on a rocket of it terror lately. Uh, but I would, I guess I would play the hot hat in this case. Um, yeah, that my, my, my play will be Jordan Addison, but it's very, very close.
00:27:15
Roger Emeka
Addison for me too, especially if the Bears play and Justin Jefferson the same way they did last game, where they were double, triple teaming him, and it left or Addison pretty much open. And for the defense, this is a tough one. I think those are two good matchups. I'd probably lean Broncos with Anthony Richardson.
00:27:38
Roger Emeka
But it's it's a slight lean, just because I know Drake Mayor will be a bit more accurate. And I think Drake me right now is better than Anthony Richardson, but it's I think both options are very good for from a defensive standpoint.
00:27:51
Nacc
Yep, I think I agree with both. I'd go Addison and Broncos as well. ah LMA. Oh, there's a lot of O's there.
00:28:02
Nacc
Five O's. ah Start two. Lad, Judy, DJ Moore. I also don't know who to start. I don't know who to start.
00:28:13
Nacc
Char, or Charbonnet at Flex.
00:28:13
Roger Emeka
Charbonnet.
00:28:13
Fabio
Charb.
00:28:16
Nacc
RBs are Jacobs and a JT.
00:28:19
Fabio
Yeah.
00:28:19
Roger Emeka
Ooh, that's tough.
00:28:20
Nacc
Wow, this is a good one. This is a good one.
00:28:22
Roger Emeka
That's a very good one.
00:28:22
Fabio
yep
00:28:23
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:28:23
Nacc
This is a good one.
00:28:24
Roger Emeka
Uh, I would go, I would go Judy. I think you have to keep rolling with Judy and Lad is, is tough because he, it looks like he he's dealing, he's dealing with two injuries, I believe the shoulder and the knee.
00:28:29
Fabio
Yes. Mm-hmm.
00:28:36
Roger Emeka
And we talked about DJ Moore, I think he's in a good spot against the blitzing Vikings defense to to catch a lot of screens. And, um, Josh Jacobs has been on a roll. I think he, I mean, I don't know off the top of my head, but he probably has like eight touchdowns in the past, like four games or something.
00:28:52
Roger Emeka
He just came off a three touchdown game. So I think he's, ah he's absolute must start week in, week out.
00:28:54
Fabio
Yeah.
00:28:57
Roger Emeka
And I would probably roll and lean with Charbonnet just because of the PPR factor. And I think he had a 26% target share against Arizona last week. um So to me, Charbonnet, he might be a must-start regardless of whether Kenneth Walker the third plays or not.
00:29:15
Fabio
Yeah, that's that's the scary part, especially if you're like, because I think Kenneth Walker is supposed to miss a few weeks from what I've been reading. It's not confirmed yet, but they might sidelight him for like a week or two. So Charbonnet should be playing the majority of the starts, this the majority of the snaps this week.
00:29:30
Fabio
And if that's the case, which it should be, then you're starting him and I will have no issue sitting Jonathan Taylor. for Charbonnet, if you have to choose one or the other. It's JT with AR there. It's not really consistent, the running back, the carries for JT in that offense. And it's always a little bit more difficult when you do have a like a run first quarterback that is like Anthony anthony Richardson. For the start too, if Ladd plays, he's playing. They're playing the Bucks this week. I mean, I think i think he's an auto start for me and and Jerry Judy as well. I agree with you, Raj, you got to play the hot hand there.
00:30:06
Roger Emeka
I agree with that point. if if lot starts you play
00:30:09
Nacc
If he starts, that means he's good enough to play. And I think like we do, we've been picking on, on, on, uh, the bucks all year.
00:30:11
Fabio
Well, that's it, right?
00:30:15
Nacc
So I would definitely go lad and Judy, and, um, I'm finding a way to get sharpening in my lineup, make the hard decision.
00:30:21
Fabio
A hundred percent.
00:30:22
Nacc
He's, he's fresh too, right? He hasn't been playing the boatload of snaps all year, right? We're behind a Walker. Um, I think he looks.
00:30:29
Roger Emeka
I think think he's better than Walker. i think he he's
00:30:31
Fabio
He is, he is.
00:30:31
Nacc
Yeah, he looks, he just looks, he looks better.
00:30:32
Roger Emeka
he doesn't
00:30:33
Nacc
He's got more juice.
00:30:34
Fabio
Yeah.
00:30:34
Nacc
He's like, you know what it reminds me of a little bit, the Naji kind of Warren thing where like Warren comes in and has more juice and more punch and more whatever.
00:30:40
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:30:41
Fabio
Yeah.
00:30:43
Nacc
Like this guy just looks like the better all around player.
00:30:47
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:30:47
Fabio
Yeah.
00:30:47
Roger Emeka
Quickly, the walker, I think the walker, it's always the home run with him versus charbiting. It's just like, I'm going to take what I get. And if it turns into like 10 yards, 20 yards, whatever, I think that that's a better fit for them.
00:30:55
Nacc
Yeah.
00:31:01
Nacc
ah Next question is from daily uploaded clips, pick pickup craft or ah Hunter Henry.
00:31:11
Nacc
I think this is an easy one for me.
00:31:12
Fabio
Mmm.
00:31:15
Roger Emeka
Yeah, I like Henry. I had Kraft in my hate um pick last week and he made me look bad, but it's really hard to trust anyone on the Packers receiving corps on a week-to-week basis. And Henry's the tight end nine right now.
00:31:31
Roger Emeka
And he's had a good target show over the past three weeks. so um And and the the paths, the way they run that offense, it's it's really tight end specific and tight end heavy versus, again, that marks his socialist wide receiver core of the Packers that is just very hard to predict.
00:31:49
Fabio
Yeah, you're right about that. It is a bit of a. Socialistic wire receiver core. I get that, but it there's one constant and it's Tucker craft. Like every single week he gets his targets and he gets touchdowns more often than not. And Jordan love looks for him. I feel like more than like he looks a lot for Christian Watson and for whatever reason, Dontavian Wicks, but Tucker craft is.
00:32:11
Fabio
He's been quite consistent in getting points regardless of matchup and he, and majority of times too, he's also looked down in the red zone. It's not a fluke, you know, like it's, it's pretty consistent. I will go craft here and k craft also has a better schedule too, for the rest of the season as well.
00:32:26
Roger Emeka
that That's true.
00:32:28
Nacc
Yeah, I don't care about season. I can't trust any, I can't trust anyone on the Green Bay offense besides Jordan Love and Josh Jacobs because it's just every week, every week is a toss up.
00:32:37
Fabio
Well, then would you, would
00:32:40
Fabio
So would you trust Jordan Love over Drake May?
00:32:44
Nacc
Yeah, of course.
00:32:45
Roger Emeka
Yeah, but that's different. like Jordan Love doesn't care who he's throwing.
00:32:47
Fabio
Well, I'm just saying it does.
00:32:47
Nacc
It's, that data I just, I just said I would, the only two people I trust on Green Bay is Jordan Love and Josh Jacobs.
00:32:54
Fabio
I understand that. I'm just comparing how the quarterbacks that are throwing the tight ends of the ball, right? I don't know.
00:32:59
Nacc
Yeah, for for sure, but there's also like, there's, there's also four.
00:32:59
Fabio
It's just, I think it's good that we're split on this because we don't want to agree on everything, but like I would go crafty instead of Hunter Henry.
00:33:07
Nacc
Yeah. I mean, look, um, this is why we have these debates, but for me, like I said, it's, it's for sure. I trust love more, but there's also what for targets that he, that he goes to week in and, and, and week out. I don't know.
00:33:25
Roger Emeka
Took her craft the last three weeks, 12 and a half fantasy points. Hunter Henry, 12.
00:33:31
Fabio
You're splitting hairs.
00:33:31
Roger Emeka
It's a coin it's a quinf flip.
00:33:31
Nacc
It's, it's pretty neck and neck.
00:33:32
Roger Emeka
but Yeah, it's a coin flip at this point.
00:33:32
Nacc
Yeah. Yeah.
00:33:33
Fabio
Yeah.
00:33:33
Nacc
For sure. For sure.
00:33:34
Fabio
Yeah.
00:33:34
Nacc
For sure. Um, Elaine Quran asks, is Saquon Barkley the best running back in his generation?
Running Back Generational Debate
00:33:45
Nacc
Would you put Henry in his generation?
00:33:49
Nacc
Because if you are, I think I'm leaning more towards Henry in my opinion.
00:33:53
Roger Emeka
Man.
00:33:54
Fabio
Yeah, that's where ram I'm stuck too.
00:33:57
Roger Emeka
What's the generation?
00:33:58
Nacc
What's, what's the generation?
00:33:58
Roger Emeka
What's like the cutoff?
00:33:58
Fabio
Yeah.
00:33:58
Nacc
Like what's the cutoff of generation?
00:34:01
Fabio
So apart from, apart from Derek Henry, who would you say is better than Saquon Barkley from a pure running back perspective right now?
00:34:09
Nacc
Like this year.
00:34:10
Fabio
Well, just in general, like I say, body of work the last few years, like Avon Camara, Agent Pearson, Louis DeFonme.
00:34:15
Roger Emeka
is out Is Adrian Peterson too far back?
00:34:16
Nacc
I have a comparison of running back. Yeah, I was getting like, ah like what's ah but what's what constitutes a generation? Is it 20 years? Is that a generation, like 20 year span?
00:34:26
Fabio
I believe so. Yeah, I believe so.
00:34:28
Nacc
Like you need at least a good sample. So you can't say the last five years, right? Like, so Henry would for sure, I think surpass him a hundred percent.
00:34:31
Fabio
No.
00:34:34
Fabio
Yeah.
00:34:35
Nacc
And you just mentioned a good one in AP. And like, I would take Adrian Peterson over him also.
00:34:40
Roger Emeka
I think I'd still take Tom. Yeah, Lydian Tomlinson would still count, right?
00:34:45
Fabio
I don't think those guys, I don't think those guys are in the same generation. You can, you, I'll give you Derek Henry's in the same generation of St.
00:34:45
Nacc
Thomas, he's, he's a.
00:34:50
Nacc
Yeah. 20 years.
00:34:51
Fabio
Juan Barkley. Not, not AP, AP is not in the same generation as St.
00:34:53
Roger Emeka
I, okay, but you
00:34:55
Fabio
Juan Barkley.
00:34:55
Nacc
AP Adrian Peterson is not the same generation.
00:34:58
Fabio
No.
00:34:59
Roger Emeka
just said 20 years.
00:34:59
Nacc
Why wouldn't he be 20 years ago?
00:35:00
Roger Emeka
Yeah, he he retired in like 2014, 2015. Even no, he played like four years ago, I think.
00:35:06
Nacc
Yeah. So why wouldn't he be?
00:35:06
Roger Emeka
He was playing up in like with the saints.
00:35:07
Nacc
He's, he's definitely in a generation. I think I would have thought LT made less sense, but he's still 20 years ago.
00:35:17
Roger Emeka
Fab, look it up.
00:35:18
Fabio
ah Hmm I'm gonna have to yeah, this is this is gonna get me looking up like No at all.
00:35:20
Nacc
He's too, he's too biased towards, he's too biased towards Barkley.
00:35:21
Roger Emeka
He played he played you play age ageism.
00:35:24
Nacc
He's too biased towards Barkley.
00:35:25
Fabio
I I just chose Derek Henry over him.
00:35:25
Roger Emeka
ageism ageism
00:35:27
Fabio
I just chose there.
00:35:27
Roger Emeka
no so off and I think that's wrong too.
00:35:28
Fabio
Yeah
00:35:30
Roger Emeka
like just Just the pass-catching aspect of Saquon is something that Henry was never able to get to.
00:35:38
Nacc
But he's not a he's not a pass catcher, though, Barkley, he's not a great pass catcher.
00:35:40
Roger Emeka
No, for sure. barcley
00:35:44
Fabio
He's not a pass catcher.
00:35:44
Nacc
Yeah.
00:35:45
Fabio
He had 91 receptions his rookie season.
00:35:46
Roger Emeka
What?
00:35:47
Nacc
His rookie season, but he's not known for being a pass catcher.
00:35:50
Roger Emeka
but he's But he has that ability versus Henry was Henry up until
00:35:53
Fabio
Well, what's, what's known for being a pass catcher Alvin Kamara.
00:35:58
Nacc
Well, that well, that you could say obviously 100 percent, but.
00:35:59
Fabio
Yeah. So then nobody is known for being a pass catcher for, for comparing that. No, Barkley, uh, Barkley gets you and a fat amount of targets every single season. And he, and he has used to run for it too, but like I would pure running back best generation.
00:36:15
Nacc
is 29 receptions this year.
00:36:17
Fabio
Yeah. Yeah. Well, then again, they're also throwing like what, 10 times a game.
00:36:19
Nacc
That's not, that's not massive. Like he has half of what Derek, Derek Henry has or Derek, sorry, Derek County has half of what he has.
00:36:25
Roger Emeka
Yeah, but I mean, but body of body of work.
00:36:26
Fabio
And so that's a product of the offense.
00:36:28
Roger Emeka
If you if you look at a body of work, Henry has never been a guy. and I think henry's Henry's top year was like 35.
00:36:31
Nacc
No, no, no, no, Henry, Henry a hundred percent. But if we're talking pure running back like Henry, right?
00:36:34
Roger Emeka
pretty five
00:36:34
Fabio
Yeah. I would agree.
00:36:40
Roger Emeka
I disagree with that personally.
00:36:41
Fabio
I would agree.
00:36:43
Nacc
Okay. That's a good debate to have, though.
00:36:46
Roger Emeka
Yeah. Yeah.
00:36:46
Fabio
Yeah.
00:36:47
Nacc
um That'll do it for our TikTok questions. We've got one from Facebook, an ARG, Anthony Richardson or Russell Wilson in a super flex league.
00:37:00
Nacc
And i don't like I don't really like both options.
00:37:02
Roger Emeka
Yeah,
00:37:02
Fabio
I don't like either. If I have to choose Gundam, I had, I'm thinking Anthony Richardson just for the rushing upside, but I'm not a, I'm not a fan of either of them.
00:37:08
Roger Emeka
agreed.
00:37:11
Nacc
and Yeah, maybe maybe just for that, but like wil so Russell maybe may not make as many mistakes, but I obviously the the upside is for sure limited. We got a couple questions here to finish off from Reddit Hawkeye 547 thoughts on defense for the rest of the year. Currently I have New Orleans Saints, but I think it makes sense to make a change. I'm looking at Arizona, Baltimore, Atlanta and the Washington commanders.
00:37:44
Roger Emeka
Yeah, the Falcons actually, ah they've had issues past rushing in the past for the past, oh my god, the past like 12 years, 15 years, but they've had nine sacks over the past two weeks actually. And they get Vegas and the Giants the next two games in the fantasy playoffs. So I think that's actually a really good option.
00:38:03
Roger Emeka
For New Orleans, though, you can't conceivably start the commanders this week. It'd be too risky. So I would definitely pick up the Falcons and try to to see what you could do on the last week of the the season because I don't and remember who they got, but it's not a good matchup for the Falcons in week 17.
00:38:23
Nacc
Yeah, probably.
00:38:24
Fabio
Yeah, I agree with that too. The Falcons have been actually sneaky good, uh, as a defensive last little while in the Cardinals. I know we, we, we had mentioned how they have a very good match ups for the rest of the playoff season, but they haven't been all that great.
00:38:37
Fabio
Uh, we'll go to the Falcons though for, for now. And then listen, worry about the finals when you get to the finals, in my opinion, like you kind of want to also make sure that you get there first.
00:38:42
Roger Emeka
Yeah, exactly.
00:38:45
Roger Emeka
because Exactly.
00:38:47
Nacc
I think I'm going Baltimore if you can get them. They get the Giants this week. They get Pittsburgh in week 16. They up 10 points against them the last time they played. And then they get Houston in the final week. So I think Baltimore is my pick for the um defense to ride through the playoffs.
00:39:11
Nacc
oh um
00:39:15
Nacc
6789 James Cook at Detroit or Jameson Williams vs Buffalo for a flex.
Injury Updates & Fantasy Advice
00:39:24
Fabio
Yeah, this one stumped me actually. This one is tougher than it originally reads. I'm like, Oh, for sure. James cook. But then I'm like, you know what? Like I'm feeling safe with cook, but Williams could very well pop off here for 90 yards and a touchdown on four receptions versus Buffalo. And, uh, we all know that D choice defense is pretty good. So ah cook might have a better floor, but Jameson probably has the ceiling. I feel.
00:39:48
Roger Emeka
5% it perfectly. Depends on what you need.
00:39:51
Fabio
Yeah.
00:39:51
Roger Emeka
If you feel you need a floor, go with cook.
00:39:51
Nacc
I was, i and, and Williams is actually coming off a good game and cook is actually coming off a bad game.
00:39:53
Roger Emeka
If you feel you're gonna need upside because you're in a kind of underdog matchup, then go with Williams.
00:39:58
Fabio
You know, but I say that though, and I'm looking at...
00:40:01
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:40:01
Fabio
Yeah.
00:40:02
Nacc
So it could definitely be the reverse, but yeah, if you need, if you need, if you need, you know, uh, I'm not a miracle, but I mean, if you're looking at your matchup, reverse your opponent and you need something like cook may not be the guy that gets you 30 points, but Jameson might.
00:40:17
Roger Emeka
So Mr67, I have both these guys.
00:40:17
Fabio
Hmm.
00:40:19
Roger Emeka
I think it might be my last year owning both of them because it's a roller coaster, man.
00:40:26
Nacc
Um, and the last question here is a cat named Hercules 12 teams, super flex dynasty, six point passing TD pick one Stroud versus Miami or may versus Arizona. Wow.
00:40:42
Roger Emeka
Not hard for me, May.
00:40:43
Nacc
Yeah, I think I'm going made like I don't like Stroud at all.
00:40:43
Roger Emeka
It's the rushing rushing upside.
00:40:44
Fabio
Yeah.
00:40:48
Nacc
Yeah.
00:40:48
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:40:48
Fabio
So I have Stroud in our bush league and they're facing Miami this week. And I think I'm actually benching him in favor of Aaron Rogers, who has a much better matchup. And I can't believe I'm saying that this point of the season, but Rogers is actually coming off a very good game, a very good showing.
00:41:01
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:41:02
Fabio
And I'm, and Stroud has just, I don't know, man, he, he has not looked the part at all all season.
00:41:09
Nacc
Nope.
00:41:09
Roger Emeka
You do that.
00:41:11
Nacc
Yes, please.
00:41:12
Fabio
Yeah.
00:41:12
Nacc
um Guys, thank you so much. That wraps up our mailbag portion of the pod. i Again, shout out to all of you guys who took the time to get your questions in. I hope we were very helpful.
00:41:23
Nacc
Let us know how we did. I'll quickly dive into some injuries. ah Jonathan Brooks, poor guy, Torres ACL out for the season, ah likely to miss at least half of next season as well.
00:41:35
Nacc
So not a good start ah for him.
00:41:37
Fabio
Yeah.
00:41:38
Nacc
Adrian O'Connell, leg, supposedly out for the season, but i heard I heard some things that it could be he might play or something originally was out for the season, but just keep an eye out for that.
00:41:40
Roger Emeka
Yeah, no. Yeah, he might play.
00:41:48
Nacc
ah Justin Herbert out of leg contusion, ah finished the rest of the game. Will Disley didn't come back from shoulder injury. Damarcus Robinson also left with a shoulder injury their car significant fracture to his non-throwing hand He was expected to miss several weeks and then a report came out today saying Even if he doesn't practice he could play But I don't see that to be very plausible Grendel as we mentioned earlier foot injury most likely not playing Thursday keep an eye out for that and Bucky Irving, Bucky Irving, excuse me, left the game early, never came back, back injury.
00:42:11
Fabio
Mm.
00:42:24
Nacc
Those are never a good sign, most likely misses week 15. And then Will Levis, AC joint, yeah kept him out for three games. So just something to monitor with that.
00:42:37
Nacc
And now we move on to our love hate. Uh, we did not so great in, uh, week 14 guys, I think in week 13, we were nine and three and week 14, we went three and nine complete, complete one 80, uh, for, for, for this week. So I'll just quickly recap, uh, fab you lost on an eight in O'Connell love Derek car love and a Jonah Smith hate.
00:43:03
Fabio
john o
00:43:03
Nacc
That one will will own was tough as he as he as he got you in the in old OT, but that's what it is.
00:43:04
Fabio
the thou died
00:43:06
Roger Emeka
Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
00:43:09
Fabio
he had He was doing cardio all game. And then when overtime came around, two had decided to throw to him. And I thought I had this one in the bag. I'm like, zero points.
00:43:17
Roger Emeka
Three straight catches, man.
00:43:18
Fabio
Awesome.
00:43:18
Nacc
Yeah, recent catches and the touchdown just like salt on the wound, you know.
00:43:19
Fabio
Three catches, one for a touchdown.
00:43:21
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:43:21
Fabio
I was like, you know what, man, I can't i can't even catch a break in love hate sometime.
00:43:23
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:43:25
Fabio
Okay. That's fine.
00:43:26
Nacc
ah You did win with Deebo Samuel as your hate, however, so you finished the week at one and three. Raj, you split the week, you lost with ah Will Levis as a love, and Tucker Kraft as a hate.
00:43:39
Nacc
ah You did win, so Supreme Court Marcus Valdez-Ganley, he did outperform his projections, even though it was just 9.1, and you also won with Geno Smith as a as a hate, as he also just missed out on his ah projections.
00:43:41
Roger Emeka
by with by my chinny chin chin.
00:43:44
Fabio
Skin of your teeth.
00:43:56
Nacc
I went 0 and 4. Lost on Jacoby Myers just missed out on his projections as well ah Nick Westbrook a keen a he was mr. Invisible ah Aaron Rodgers put up a pretty decent stat line.
00:44:09
Nacc
So I lost with that and then Bryce young I couldn't believe how Low his projections were he actually finished with only 14 points and I was still over I was still over his projection.
00:44:18
Roger Emeka
Ego's D man but
00:44:21
Nacc
So I took an L on that one. So um looking to Looking to to to bounce back in the first week of the playoffs. So without further ado Raj. Give me your Give me your first love of the week
00:44:35
Roger Emeka
My first love of the week is i'll Adam Teelin versus the Cowboys. So surprisingly, Adam Teelin is the consensus 35th ranked wide receiver for week 15, which was absolutely wild to me.
00:44:48
Roger Emeka
He saw a 33% target share against the Eagles, exciting white Eagles secondary.
00:44:48
Fabio
Yeah.
Week 15 Must-Starts & Warnings
00:44:53
Roger Emeka
And in in his last two games, he's at 24 and 19 points per game in PPR. He gets a Cowboys defense that's given up 62 catches over the last four weeks, which is the most by any team in the league. And we obviously saw how they just got absolutely destroyed by Jomar Chase on Monday Night Football during that Simpsons coverage, which was awesome, by the way.
00:45:13
Roger Emeka
um We've seen what Bryce Seung has looked like and he's looked really good, remarkably better since its being inserted and back into the lineup. So to me, Phelan is a must, must, must start over guys like Jaden Reed, Deebo Samuel, Davante Smith, Marvin Harrison Jr., who we've picked on a lot today. like To me, this is like WR2 territory for Phelan, especially for your PPR.
00:45:37
Nacc
100% agree and I can't, I don't even think I could add anything. 35th ranked is madness.
00:45:43
Fabio
nuts.
00:45:43
Nacc
Madness.
00:45:43
Roger Emeka
Get him in.
00:45:45
Fabio
Yeah.
00:45:45
Nacc
Madness. Get them in. What about your second love for the week?
00:45:49
Roger Emeka
Yeah, this one is not so obvious. Cole Komet at the Vikings. So over the last four weeks, the Vikings defense has allowed 36 receptions, most in the league ah in that span to tight ends, for 304 yards, which is also second in the league during that timeframe. And Cole Komet had six catches, 74 yards on 10 targets against the Vikings in week 12. A game the Bears could have won, and Caleb probably played his best game as a pro.
00:46:15
Roger Emeka
In fact, Komet has had back to back games of seven catches in over 40 yards versus the Vikes. and So as good as the Minnesota defense has been on a real life basis and standpoint from a fantasy perspective, they've been very, very generous through the air. And I think Komet is a very solid tighted up option this week in fantasy playoffs.
00:46:34
Nacc
Trying to fight your demons there with the tight end, eh? Trying to redeem yourself, sweet.
00:46:37
Roger Emeka
ah yeah
00:46:40
Roger Emeka
my my bit my My biggest love hate demons are tight ends and Thursday Night Football games. I have not done well in either one.
00:46:47
Nacc
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:46:47
Fabio
ah Yeah, we got to take a look at our record for Thursday Night Football Games even in the season to see how we did.
00:46:49
Roger Emeka
I don't think we have ones.
00:46:51
Nacc
i don't I don't think we want to look at that at the moment. I don't think it looks very pretty. Thank you, Raj. Fab, what about your loves for the for this week?
00:47:01
Fabio
James Winston versus Kansas City. So in the last four games since the bye, James has thrown 1,323 yards, which is the most in that span, nine total touchdowns, fifth most, and has 100 fantasy points, which is about 25 points per game average. So it's fourth highest. And those were against tough defenses too.
00:47:21
Fabio
The no-risk-it, no-biscuit playoff season is here. In week 15, James is against Kansas City defense, who have not been a super tough fantasy defense as of late. QBs are scoring on average 20 points against them per game since their week six bye, when they were only giving up about 17 points per game prior to that. KC also give up an explosive play on average much higher than any other defenses at 5.8%.
00:47:47
Fabio
and have one of the lowest pressure rates in the league at 27.4%. I think this is music to Winston's ear. ah Fire him up as a low end QB1, must start in 2 QB and super flex formats.
00:48:01
Roger Emeka
year-round.
00:48:01
Fabio
no No risk it, no biscuit.
00:48:03
Roger Emeka
I mean think he's a raster season star in 2GB.
00:48:05
Fabio
Yeah. And you can, you see what he's doing in that offense, right? I mean, Ninjoku has been a target hog and they're finally using him correctly. Well, finally using him correctly. He's being used the way he should be used when Deshaun Watson is not playing quarterback and Jerry Judy just exploded. And yeah, like this makes perfect sense to me.
00:48:21
Nacc
Like Watson is, is like, it's, it's Denzel, right? Like the Russell Wilson him next year, like, like they have to, right?
00:48:26
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:48:27
Fabio
They have to, they have to.
00:48:28
Nacc
Like they, if they start to Sean Watson at QB next year, like it it's, been it's beyond joke after that, right?
00:48:30
Fabio
Yeah.
00:48:34
Fabio
think I think fans are going to revolt if they started to be honest with you because it like say what you want about James Winston ah from ah from like a quarterback standpoint.
00:48:35
Nacc
Like.
00:48:44
Fabio
Yes, he is high risk and all that stuff. But like guys love playing for him. Like he's good in the locker room and like his teammates love him. And he's also fun character. Like even on the field too.
00:48:55
Fabio
And you see his interviews and all that stuff. Like why wouldn't you want that as your quarterback instead of for sure you should be.
00:48:59
Roger Emeka
He's going to be in the league for a long time. He's going to be either a spot starter or a backup for a long time.
00:49:04
Fabio
Yeah.
00:49:04
Nacc
Yeah, I don't I don't think he's a 17 game starter, in my opinion.
00:49:12
Fabio
I mean, he can do it.
00:49:13
Nacc
I think he's more of that.
00:49:13
Fabio
It's just, you're not, he won't win you games. That's the thing. Like he won't, he'll, he'll, he'll probably lose you as many games as he wins you, you know, and that's a different, that's the thing with him.
00:49:20
Roger Emeka
Yeah, he's on a one year deal.
00:49:22
Nacc
that's that's what yeah but That's what kind of like scared him away from places, right? And that's why he wasn't starting is because of the turnovers. And you saw it again Sunday, like costly turnovers that really ruined any shot of of winning.
00:49:30
Fabio
Yeah.
00:49:36
Nacc
So to your point, he'll lose you a lot of games with his mistakes rather than win you more games. And I think that's what turns people off when and giving him the the starting nod.
00:49:46
Fabio
For sure. Deliver us from pick sixes.
00:49:52
Nacc
Oh, I can't stand him. I can't. I just can't do it. Let's just move on. Who's your second love for the week?
00:49:59
Fabio
Zach Erz at New Orleans. Four straight games of six targets or more. TD and double digit fantasy points in the last three. Erz is quietly tied in seven in the last four weeks despite being on a bye for one of them. So it's actually three weeks worth of of of points for him and he's still tied in seven.
00:50:15
Fabio
Week 15, he gets the Saints giving up the 11th fewest fantasy points to tight ends. Not an amazing matchup, but that shouldn't really scare you because two of those, two of his last three games where Eart scored a touchdown and hit double-digit fantasy points were against top-rated tight end fantasy defense in Tennessee and Philly. He's honestly, he's a borderline tight end one for me and and and a star for me this week. He's been really good, man. Him and Jaden have been connecting a lot of stuff.
00:50:40
Roger Emeka
Yeah. He's had a great career, man. I've always liked the Zacharits and even at like 34, 35, it's, it's good to see, still see him in the league contributing.
00:50:44
Fabio
Yeah, same.
00:50:49
Nacc
He's still making some pretty like, uh, like contested catches too, right? It's not just like, uh, to the gut and like, ah close like he's making some athletic catches.
00:50:53
Fabio
Yeah.
00:50:54
Roger Emeka
Man, he, he, he was a top two tight end.
00:50:55
Fabio
Well,
00:50:59
Roger Emeka
Like when he was at Philly, like it was him and pretty much him and Kelsey or like.
00:50:59
Nacc
Oh yeah. Yeah.
00:51:01
Fabio
yeah
00:51:03
Fabio
but he, last year too, I think before McBride came on or was it the year before that where he was playing for the Cardinals?
00:51:03
Nacc
Yeah.
00:51:07
Roger Emeka
Yeah. Last year.
00:51:09
Fabio
It was last year, right? He, he was playing really well in the beginning and then he got injured and then McBride really took over, but he's always been the solid tight end.
00:51:13
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:51:15
Nacc
Yeah. He's always been very, he's always been very good.
00:51:17
Fabio
Yeah.
00:51:17
Nacc
Always been very good. ah Thanks. faab I'll go quickly with my loves for this week. So my first one will be a cool Shakir at the Lions. ah So Shakir has been the WR one for the Bills and he's actually WR for a wide receiver. 22 on the season in PPR formats. He's been Mr. Consistent scoring double digit fantasy points in every game but two this season. ah He's also gone the last seven games with at least seven targets. And coming off a monster performance in week 14 where he had five catches for 106 yards and a TD on eight targets in a shootout versus the Rams.
00:51:53
Nacc
ah This week he gets a Lions team um that just two two weeks ago gave up 48 total points to Roma Dunsey and DJ Moore. and they gave up They give up the six most fantasy points wide receivers on the season and this could easily become another shootout.
00:52:11
Fabio
This is a great call.
00:52:12
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
00:52:12
Fabio
I like this a lot.
00:52:13
Roger Emeka
Super solid all year.
00:52:14
Fabio
Yeah. He's a must start. And he's been quietly like, like Nick said, like why receiver 22, like you wouldn't expect it, but, um, yeah, he's a must start.
00:52:25
Nacc
And my second love for the week is going to be Bryan Robinson Jr. at the Saints. So Robinson quickly showed he's over his ankle injury with a 40-yard TD run on Washington's first possession of the game. ah He ended with 103 rushing yards on 16 carries for just under 6.5 yards per carry. and So most running backs not named that Henry or Barkley are usually not as productive fantasy-wise when not involved in the passing game.
00:52:49
Nacc
but however Robinson has shown he can get it done running the ball having only 14 receptions on the season. He gets a saint's degree giving up the eighth most points to running backs and just gave up 19 and 18 points to Tyrone Tracy and Kyron Williams respectively.
00:53:04
Nacc
ah He's a top 12 play in week 15 in all formats.
00:53:09
Roger Emeka
Ekler's still out, right? For another two two weeks?
00:53:11
Nacc
He's on IR so he's he's on for the he's gone for the regular season.
00:53:12
Roger Emeka
He's on IR.
00:53:12
Fabio
Yeah. it's on Yeah, fire him up with confidence.
00:53:14
Roger Emeka
For the regular season, yeah.
00:53:15
Nacc
Yeah.
00:53:17
Roger Emeka
Yep.
00:53:18
Nacc
Big time. So those were our loves for week 15. Raj, start us off with your your first hate of the week.
00:53:25
Roger Emeka
Yeah, first aid of the week is Michael Pittman Jr. at Denver. So, wide receivers who play out wide at a high clip, which is 80% of the time for Michael Pittman Jr., do not fare well against Patrick Sertain, who generally covers the outside of the field at a 90% clip.
00:53:42
Roger Emeka
So, MPJ, when playing some of the more elite corners this year, such as Jalen Johnson, Derek Stingley Jr., Sos Gardner, and Christian Gonzalez, had 36, 16, 46, and 42 receiving yards. So, I'd look for Alec Pierce, Alec Ogletree, and hopefully Josh jo josh Downs, if he could play this week, to have far more success against Denver than Pittman Jr., whose I think we'd all agree had a disappointing season, riddled by injuries and lack of chemistry with Anthony Richardson.
00:54:13
Nacc
Yeah, and they just paid him too.
00:54:14
Fabio
Yeah.
00:54:15
Nacc
It looks maybe a little bit of buyers or more is considering who the quarterback was.
00:54:17
Roger Emeka
he's yeah he's a good player it just it's not the right fit like ar is just downfield guy and that's not his game i would say yes i can hit a bit controversial but i'm goingnna gonna go with dk metcalf versus the packers as my yeah a little bit a little bit not not as much as you not as many much balls as you but
00:54:22
Nacc
No.
00:54:23
Fabio
No.
00:54:26
Nacc
Yeah, I agree. I agree. What about your second hate for the week?
00:54:36
Nacc
Hey, take it a page out of my book.
00:54:42
Roger Emeka
ah Hating DK Metcalf versus the Packers, I think it couldn't be more official than it it is now. Metcalf is now the second option for the Seahawks, despite being the first read option on 36% of targets compared to JS Sen's 27.
00:54:56
Roger Emeka
But in the past four weeks, his target share of 24 was still good. His catch percentage even at 70% has been quite good, but the issue is he has no touchdowns since week seven, which is leading to an average of 10 fantasy points per game.
00:55:05
Fabio
yeah
00:55:09
Roger Emeka
And Gino just isn't pushing the ball downfield as much as he was during the first few weeks of the season. If you couple with the fact that they're also facing a Packers defense that has been middle of the pack, but has typically been quite good over the air, DK to me is a riskly play in fantasy this week.
00:55:27
Fabio
Yeah.
00:55:29
Nacc
Yep, I can definitely get on board with that.
00:55:29
Fabio
Yeah.
00:55:31
Roger Emeka
It's tough. it's It's a tough one because like the name is there, but it's four straight weeks, the production hasn't been there.
00:55:37
Fabio
Like his floor is very high, but his floor right now is also a ceiling, which is like 10 fantasy points and the touchdown regression is an issue.
00:55:42
Roger Emeka
It's 10. Yeah.
00:55:44
Nacc
Yeah, that's not what, that's not what you drafted DKMakath to, to get you, especially heading into the playoffs.
00:55:46
Roger Emeka
No.
00:55:46
Fabio
No.
00:55:47
Roger Emeka
At all.
00:55:49
Nacc
So, um, tread lightly.
00:55:50
Fabio
Yeah.
00:55:53
Nacc
Uh, Fab, who's your first hate for the week?
00:55:57
Fabio
ah Russell Wilson at the Philadelphia Eagles. So Russ has been cooking, no doubt, but Bird might not be on the menu this week. ah Russ and Co. get the pesky Eagles who have shut down even the best of QBs this year. Philly defense give up an explosive pla pass play, which is 20 plus yards or more. 2.9%, one of the lowest percentages in the league. Coupled out with no George Pickens.
00:56:22
Fabio
I think it's going to be a rough outing for a Mr. Unlimited. You might be playing a very, very dangerous game if he's in your lineup in any format.
00:56:26
Nacc
a
00:56:31
Fabio
He's a low-end QB2 for me this week. I tried to use as many Russell Wilson little jabs as I could in there. I hope you guys pick them up on all of them.
00:56:41
Roger Emeka
Go Hawks.
00:56:42
Nacc
Fab like a good pun Did you say go Hawks come on Oh
00:56:45
Fabio
Very much so. It's so much fun, guys. Come on. Let's make it a little bit lively.
00:56:49
Roger Emeka
That's what you used to say after every interview. Go Hawks.
00:56:54
Roger Emeka
Go Hawks.
00:56:55
Nacc
I thought you like cat ah you were like eagles, whatever I thought.
00:56:57
Roger Emeka
No, because then what if he said, let's ride in Denver?
00:57:00
Fabio
Let's ride Broncos country.
00:57:00
Roger Emeka
And what was it? What was I supposed to be with the Steelers?
00:57:01
Nacc
this No, it's a Steelers country.
00:57:03
Roger Emeka
Let's steal. Let's weld.
00:57:04
Fabio
Let's well, that's well.
00:57:05
Nacc
Let's weld.
00:57:06
Roger Emeka
yeah Just, Jesus. Just.
00:57:07
Nacc
No, that was just the internet. That was not Russ.
00:57:08
Fabio
Yeah, that was, that was that was made DeAndre Swift at the Minnesota Vikings.
00:57:12
Nacc
He's missed on.
00:57:13
Roger Emeka
Unlimited.
00:57:16
Nacc
Who's your second hate for the week, Fab?
00:57:21
Fabio
i think I think the Swift love story is finally over for 2024. Three straight games of less than 10 fantasy points. Hasn't had over 15 carries since week 10 and he's playing the Vikings this week or 29th versus the run and stuffed Swift for 2.3 yards per carry in week 12 where he only scored 9.5 fantasy points.
00:57:42
Fabio
7.5 of which came in and from PPR. At this point of the season, Swift may have helped you get into the Fassie playoffs thanks to his performance earlier in the year, but he can't be trusted this week.
00:57:53
Nacc
Thank you.
00:57:53
Fabio
He's a borderline flex play if you're desperate, but if not, he should be on your bench.
00:58:00
Roger Emeka
You know, that that's like the the key thing now with the matchup so late in the season is like it's the second go around with a lot of teams playing the same ones that they played. So like if Swift was bad against the Vikings and the Vikings are good on the against the run, like you might as well just sit Swift.
00:58:11
Fabio
The first time, yeah.
00:58:15
Roger Emeka
Like there's enough proof that shows that these guys, you should probably sit them if they didn't have success the first time.
00:58:21
Fabio
Plus, I know we talk about how like some guys are are not necessarily matchup dependent. If you look at his schedule throughout the entire season, he swipped was very matchup dependent. And he didn't fare well against teams that had a very good run defense, even if you play them often.
00:58:34
Fabio
Like, you didn't get to Detroit.
00:58:35
Roger Emeka
This is another buyer's, yeah.
00:58:35
Fabio
He didn't do well. and Obviously, Minnesota didn't do well. So yeah, ah you might have to look elsewhere this week.
00:58:40
Nacc
I just I don't like Swift as a lead back type dude like I just I don't know man I I never really yeah it's just it's not for some people he's more of that change of pace third down like that's the guy you want on the field for that but to to go between the tackles and stuff like that's not the guy yeah
00:58:48
Roger Emeka
Not for him.
00:58:50
Fabio
Yeah.
00:58:52
Roger Emeka
The third down, yeah.
00:58:53
Fabio
Yeah.
00:58:59
Roger Emeka
he He bounced, he was bouncing everything against the Niners. Like every single run was just inside, then I'm going to take it outside.
00:59:05
Fabio
yeah
00:59:08
Roger Emeka
And it's just in in Chicago, it's that doesn't work.
00:59:09
Fabio
No.
00:59:10
Nacc
No, no, definitely not. ah My first hate this week is going to be Tyrone Tracy Jr. versus the Ravens. ah So Tracy saw a season high in target share, 21.7.
00:59:25
Nacc
ah He ran a route on 71% of the team's dropbacks, which is also a season high. He played on 83% of the snaps, which was second the second time he's been over 80% and saw 89% of the running back share, which was the second highest of the season. He also played a Saints D that has been very generous to ah running backs. Things might look a little bit different in week 15 when he gets a Ravens D giving up the ninth fewest points to running backs. And the Giants figured to be playing from behind early and often.
00:59:55
Nacc
ah And Tracy will be in for a tough afternoon. I think it's going to be a hard, a very hard bench.
01:00:05
Nacc
But if you have better options, I may look that like, look, the volume and the percentage of on field is very promising. So he like, they're going to use him, but I don't know.
01:00:16
Nacc
I'm scared that they they they just get, you know, it's 21 nothing in the first quarter. And then you're just like, he's like, what's he like?
01:00:22
Roger Emeka
But the Giants are 15-point underdogs, man.
01:00:23
Fabio
But yeah.
01:00:25
Nacc
Yeah. Yeah. Like, uh, like it's, it's, that's what, that's what, but that's what scares me because he is a human highlight reel to an extent, right?
01:00:33
Fabio
Yeah.
01:00:33
Nacc
Like he's had a really solid season.
01:00:35
Fabio
Yeah.
01:00:35
Nacc
He just put up 17 or 19 points last week. So like, you know, he could do it. It's just that how much of, is it going to be like, is he going to have the opportunity in garbage time? Are they just going to suffocate drew lock or, you know, the veto.
01:00:49
Fabio
I think there's going to be a lot of dump offs for PPR points here in garbage time. I like this call. It makes a lot of sense, but I feel like there's going to, this is a, he just, he got 10 receptions last week.
01:00:59
Fabio
Right. And he used to be a wide receiver as well out of college.
01:01:01
Roger Emeka
Yeah.
01:01:02
Nacc
He five five perceptions.
01:01:02
Fabio
So I see this being, so it was 10 targets then. Sorry. So I think, uh, I see this being a PPR thing for him, but, uh, yeah, I was gonna say he's going to get chase Brown again.
01:01:06
Nacc
Yeah.
01:01:11
Roger Emeka
You're gonna get Chase Brown.
01:01:13
Nacc
And maybe maybe I will, i maybe I get chased down, so maybe maybe we we. we in in In regular formats, he's not as great, but maybe in PPR you'll get you might get the double digits.
01:01:25
Fabio
way to head your bed snack. Good job.
01:01:29
Nacc
And my last love, my last love, my last hate for this week is going to be tank Dell versus the Dolphins. Dell has been a very boomer bust all season after a breakout 2023. He's failed to hit double digit fantasy points in 3 of his last 4 games and has totaled 7 total targets over the past 2 games while averaging about 76% of his snaps. He's also averaging 45 yards per game and has been over 100 yards only once and that one that was when Nico Collins was out.
01:02:00
Nacc
It gets a very tough matchup in week 15 versus Dolphin's team giving up the 4th fewest points to wide receivers. um They did give up 44 points to Devonta Adams and Garrett Wilson, but Stroud has also been struggling. So I don't have faith to don't have faith that Dell has a as a great outing.
01:02:16
Fabio
Yeah, he's a bench.
01:02:17
Roger Emeka
What a fall. and I don't think it's, I don't think it's Dell like, but it's.
01:02:19
Nacc
Crazy fall.
01:02:20
Fabio
100%.
01:02:22
Nacc
No, there's a bit of blame on on on Stroud for sure, but but it's like this is like a huge fall from 2023.
01:02:22
Roger Emeka
an
01:02:29
Fabio
Yeah.
01:02:30
Nacc
Like everyone was excited about this player and he was drafted way too high this year. And you know, fantasy managers didn't really reap the benefits of that.
01:02:40
Roger Emeka
When the O-line is is in bad shape and there is a ton of pressure, those guys who are reliant on downfield throws, they're not always as effective.
01:02:50
Fabio
no
01:02:50
Nacc
Yep, yep. Well, guys, that's going to wrap up our show here this week. Thank you again for everyone for all your questions. Very much appreciated.
01:03:00
Nacc
ah Please, as always, like, follow, subscribe on all of our social medias. And good luck in the week one of the the fantasy playoffs.
01:03:12
Nacc
Cue the music.
01:03:12
Fabio
No.
01:03:15
Roger Emeka
What?
01:03:17
Nacc
Speaking of week one, Fab, you ready?
01:03:18
Fabio

Roger Emeka
I wouldn't.
01:03:30
Fabio
I gotta go to know this week Well
01:03:30
Roger Emeka
I'm so afraid of Josh Allen, man. I really, knock no offense, but I hope you lose. I don't want to play you again.
01:03:37
Fabio
on the bright side he's not gonna put up he's not gonna put up 50 points two weeks in a row, right?
01:03:37
Roger Emeka
I don't want to play you again.
01:03:40
Nacc
Oh, yeah, I wouldn't put it past him, that's for sure.
01:03:41
Fabio
So I think I should be okay about that.
01:03:42
Roger Emeka
Yeah, I don't know about that.
01:03:45
Fabio
I Would would
01:03:47
Roger Emeka
Remember when Fab won the league? And he's been like limping through, man.
