00:00There are players that will not give us the return on investment that we want this week.

00:07Give us some fantasy busts.

00:09Yeah, I don't like what I saw on a Caleb Williams last week.

00:13Now, maybe it was the Detroit Lions hangover.

00:15Okay, that's fair.

00:16That's pretty much been every team, good or bad, that's gone to face the Detroit Lions

00:20and have to figure out life afterwards.

00:23Kayla Williams is ranked as the 23rd quarterback, though, this week.

00:27So even in Superflex Leagues, Kayla Williams is a dicey start at best against the Minnesota

00:31Vikings on the road.

00:33Now, in-division games can get a little plucky and weird.

00:36We saw a much better version of Caleb Williams more recently against the Detroit Lions, and

00:44then actually against Minnesota in the second half of that game.

00:46He played pretty well, too, but now a little bit more exposure worries me.

00:50Also, maybe you get a little bit more adjustments made back to him.

00:53So that pass rush, very good.

00:55Now having to go on the road, I think, is a tougher one, too, in that environment.

00:59We were playing in Minnesota as opposed to getting Minnesota out of that environment.

01:03So I'm concerned.

01:05When you're looking at the guys that are ranked around him this week, at 22, you get Aaron

01:10Rodgers against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

01:12Dare I say, that's probably a better matchup.

01:14I would probably lean towards Rodgers there.

01:16Stop the presses.

01:17I know.

01:18Stop the presses.

01:19Quit that.

01:20I'm all business.

01:21I'm all business at the end of the day.

01:23We're trying to make championships.

01:25We're trying to make money on our investments in fantasy.

01:28I'm playing Rodgers over Caleb Williams against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

01:30I'm still going to do that.

01:32I know the Jags won last week.

01:33Ha ha.

01:34Okay, great.

01:35You know, I'm not saying the Jags are going to win.

01:36I'm saying from a fantasy standpoint, especially now that, you know, the running backs have

01:39been hurt and, you know, Breeze Hall having some injuries there.

01:42We'll get you updated on that later in the show.

01:44I think I'd rather play him.

01:45Bryce Young against Dallas.

01:46I think you could also make that assumption, too.

01:50Now, Kirk Cousins or Caleb Williams, I think that's where I'll try to go Caleb Williams

01:54at this point because Kirk Cousins has been so bad.

01:56But that's just for a perspective here of what we're looking at in Superflex Leagues.

02:00Caleb Williams is not a no-brainer second QB start this particular week in round one

02:05of the playoffs.

02:06I'm not saying you can't start him.

02:08I'm saying there's some guys in that fringe that I think you might want to play over him

02:13because going into Minnesota, I think a little different environment.

02:16And it also feels like the Vikings have started to figure things out again.

02:20Big emotional game for them last week.

02:22I think they feed off that, and I think the Vikings are going to be a very dangerous team

02:24in the playoffs.

02:25Agreed.

02:26Absolutely, 100%.

02:27All right, Joe, from watching this show, we have learned that the Baltimore Ravens are

02:32strong up front, good against the run, soft in the secondary, this team can throw on.

02:37So if you're a running back going against the Ravens here, I would imagine you would

02:40make the fantasy bust list.

02:42Who's on that list today?

02:43Yeah, it's Tyrone Tracy.

02:45Look, the Ravens are one of the best teams against the run.

02:47We always talk about that every single week.

02:49But then on top of that, we're talking about game script here.

02:52You know, we're talking about Tommy DeVito back at quarterback.

02:54We're talking about a team that is, you know, underdogs by 16 and a half points.

03:00Well, when you're theoretically going to be down by 16 and a half, right?

03:06You're going to be throwing the football.

03:08You're probably not going to be running very much.

03:10So game script doesn't go his way.

03:12Matchup doesn't go his way.

03:13There's a lot of things that I don't think go their way.

03:15And the Ravens, I think, are in a unique position coming off that bye, licking their

03:19wounds from that Eagles game a little bit.

03:22They kind of, I think this is a good time for the bye for the Ravens.

03:25They seemed like a team that was a little stretch thin, right?

03:28So you have the bye, reset, refocus, try to fix some of the things that are wrong with

03:32this team.

03:33And I think if you give John Harbaugh an extra week to prepare, that's very dangerous.

03:36And then on top of which, this is going to be a really nasty environment here.

03:41The Giants fans have really expressed their disdain for the organization, flying planes

03:46over the stadium where they're begging their owner to make wholesale changes.

03:52You see the effort level again start to fall apart.

03:54I mean, the Giants right now are up there at the top of the draft.

03:56So Giants are in a bad spot.

03:59Bad matchup.

04:00Tyrone Tracy, RB 26.

04:02I think that's being kind.

04:03I still think there's guys around that range that I'd rather start over him.

04:05So if you can afford to send him this week, I think you should.

04:08All right.

04:09Drones over East Rutherford.

04:11Let's close out this segment with Tank Dell, who has Miami.

04:14We have a great stat on Miami and Tua in particular coming up a little later on, but talk to us

04:19about Tank Dell's bustability today.

04:21I'm just tired of waiting for Tank Dell to turn it around.

04:24I think everybody is really.

04:26I mean, let's go through the numbers here.

04:29He has had a hundred yard receiving game since week nine against the Jets.

04:32Since then, 39-54.

04:33He did have 72 against the Titans.

04:36Okay.

04:37But it was just three catches in that game.

04:38Last week, one catch for 23 before the bye.

04:40Look, Miami secondary is actually pretty decent and Miami's offense starting to look better

04:45as well.

04:46So I don't know.

04:47Tank Dell again, fringy flex guy at the best right now.

04:50And other than that, I am looking elsewhere for my productivity.
