00:02 I'm on Ross St. Brown.

00:04 I mean, you're probably even playing Jared Goff in some leagues this week.

00:07 I think you got to do it, Hawkinson.

00:09 No, I'm sorry, Laporta.

00:11 Laporta's a tight end there, you got to play him as well.

00:12 On the New Orleans side, this is where things get a little bit dicey.

00:16 As we're doing the show right now, there's injury issues with the Saints.

00:21 FanDuel doesn't even have some updated odds on some of the player props there,

00:28 just because we're going into the weekend not being completely clear.

00:32 But from a fantasy perspective, Detroit has just been hit or

00:36 absolute missed, George.

00:37 There has been no in between.

00:38 >> Yeah, now, no more Sean Lattimore for the Saints this weekend.

00:44 They're top cornerback, he's out.

00:46 They have injury problems all over the place.

00:49 This is in Detroit, by the way.

00:50 I would think this game might be a wipeout.

00:52 It's in New Orleans, so maybe it's a little closer ball game here.

00:55 But you said it, Saints are coming in really banged up here.

00:59 Olave, the concussion, he did practice in a limited fashion.

01:01 I think Olave's going to play.

01:03 Shahid, he's got the leg injury.

01:05 I'm not as sure about him.

01:06 Not that you're dying to start him anyway, but

01:08 it more hurts the team than anything else.

01:10 Derek Carr has had all sorts of problems in the red zone.

01:13 That pick six you were talking about last week, that came in the red zone again,

01:17 where Bates cut him off and then he was off to the races here.

01:20 And that's not working out really.

01:22 That being said, you can beat Detroit through the air.

01:26 You can, so if they're healthy, I do expect a decently high scoring game here,

01:29 if Olave can play, if Shahid can get out there.

01:33 Kamara thinks he's gonna have a big game as far as catching bulls out of

01:35 the backfield.

01:36 All right, so I'm not dying to start Carr, but once again,

01:38 the Super Flex, I can see it.

01:40 On one quarterback league, no.

01:41 But a Super Flex, I can absolutely see it.

01:43 And you already said it about Detroit.

01:45 It's actually a lot easier to decide who not to play, all right?

01:48 Cuz you're starting, you're starting Gotham.

01:51 I don't think you're gonna find 12 quarterbacks,

01:53 12 fantasy quarterbacks better than him.

01:55 All right, you're starting both running backs, Gibson, Montgomery.

01:57 You're starting the Sun God, St. Brown.

01:59 You're starting, I almost said it now too, LaPorta.

02:03 All right, you're starting him.

02:04 The question might be other wide receivers.

02:06 Josh Reynolds, Jamison Williams, Khalif Raymond.

02:10 Not dying to do this, although one of them's gonna have a game.

02:13 One of them's gonna get in the end zone.

02:14 We saw on Turkey Day, it was Raymond, right?

02:16 He had the big game here.

02:18 Does that mean he does it again?

02:19 We've seen big plays come out of Jamison Williams,

02:21 but no consistency here.

02:22 You know, or maybe we just think they go to the middle ground here,

02:24 Josh Reynolds.

02:25 I kind of lean towards Raymond here.

02:27 (upbeat music)
