00:00Let's get going here. Fantasy busts. What's going to happen here. Well, the question is,

00:07are they little nuggets or are they saucy nugs? Cause I see the saucy nugs on TV being

00:11advertised, which makes me a little uncomfortable. I'm not going to lie. The saucy nugs seems

00:15like a lot. Well, because you know, you get the chicken nugget, right? And the point of

00:19the chicken, you dip in the chicken nugget, right? You do that. And they're taking the

00:22dipping out of it. But the problem is once the nugget saucy though, I'm eating it with

00:25a fork. And then that's like on Seinfeld when they're eating the candy bars with forks

00:29and knives.

00:30It's a whole thing. It makes me very uncomfortable. You know, it's a lot to take in. Anyway,

00:36I was killing the Ravens when last I was here. So now I'm going to say something nice about

00:41the Ravens, right? The Ravens defense certainly has struggled against the past, but they have

00:45been very good against the run this year. They've given up the second fewest rushing

00:49yards as a team, just 730. The only team that's been better than them has been actually the

00:54Minnesota Vikings at 711. Also, when you look at this matchup to like, it's just horrible

01:01for nausea, Harris. It's just really a bad situation. The Baltimore rush defenses allowed

01:05the fourth fewest yards per game, the ninth lowest explosive run late rate and the eighth

01:10lowest missed tackle rate.

01:11So there's a lot of numbers that just don't portend well. Plus the way you attack the

01:15Ravens is very clear. It's through the air. So maybe even Pat Fryer move has himself a

01:20streamer game today. You know, Pickens is going to be good. So Mike Williams gets a

01:24touchdown. I don't know if he's going to get a ton of volume in this game. I don't think

01:27it's something you can really lean into in fantasy just because last week he did catch

01:31a touchdown. That was the one ball he did catch, but I think Pickens Fryer moved, maybe

01:36even Jalen Warren working too, but it's just a bad matchup for nausea. Harris. I'm not

01:40saying you can't start him. You just have to understand that if you have to start in

01:43this week, you probably need a little extra boom in your flex spot.

01:48Like you just get in, have to have somebody who's going to give you a little bit more

01:50points because nausea could be limited in terms of what he might be able to give you.

01:55So just keep that in mind. Stay away from him in this game. It's a terrible matchup,

01:59and we see it time and time again, where guys going up against Baltimore Ravens rush

02:02defense, it just stops. So and I don't know how much you're going to get him in the

02:06passing game considering Jalen Warren's return. So that is the difficult thing here

02:11with starting him. Can you start him? Yes. Do I want to start him? I'd rather look

02:14elsewhere if I had some options.
