00:00first game of the day on Saturday is Texans and Chiefs. So, boy, I gotta tell you, 12-team

00:06leagues, I don't think either quarterback is starting going into the semis or finals of your

00:11league, depending on what kind of format you play in. So, it's time to really, like, parse through

00:16it. For Houston, Nico Collins is a must-start, so is Joe Mixon. For Kansas City, George, who are the

00:24must-start players going into this week? Kelsey? You're probably starting Kelsey. I can't see

00:32you being able to do better than that. Worthy's not. Hopkins, no. Pacheco, maybe. Maybe they'll

00:38run the ball a bunch here. Now, you know, Kelsey will be the only must-start for you. Pacheco has

00:43said he's been out, you know, a lot of the season, and he hasn't done anything since he came back,

00:46by the way, and there's plenty of curry him up. You know, he's probably a guy you're going to

00:50need touchdown deodorant, so I don't know if there's a must-start here for Kansas City outside

00:53of Kelsey. Yeah, I don't think so either, but much better with Baltimore. Even though Pittsburgh's

00:58defense is really good, it's Lamar Jackson, it's Zae Flowers, it's Derrick Henry. Andrews is back

01:05playing very well. Definitely start Andrews. Bateman? I don't know. I guess he would have to

01:09be a little bit desperate, and on the side of Pittsburgh, this is where it gets a little

01:14difficult here, because without Pickens, I don't think you'd start any of the wide receivers,

01:18and Fryermuth is a really desperate play. How about Najee Harris? Najee Harris this week?

01:23I mean, Baltimore has been good against the run all year. It's not what I want to do,

01:27but do you have better running backs than Najee? Do you have two better running backs on your team

01:30than Najee Harris? That'd be tough. You know, most teams probably not, but I don't want to start him.

01:34Fryermuth probably is a top 12 tight end, by the way, but you said earlier in the show,

01:38these games are usually lower scoring. They're usually not shootouts here. That being said,

01:42I think Baltimore scores some points today. You know, I think they're going to win this game

01:45pretty. I think they cover the spread. How about that? And I know the history says they won't,

01:49but I think they do. Okay, fair enough. Now let's go to the rest of the games in the NFL.

01:54We've got the big showdown between the New York Giants and the Michael Pennix Jr. led Falcons.

02:02I think I'm going to take the Giants and the points this week, by the way. I know it's insane,

02:06but I think that this may be a mistake for the Falcons. I think this just reeks of desperation.

02:12They played so bad against the Raiders, and I get why they're doing it, but I don't trust any...

02:17Bijan Robinson, 100%. If Tyrone Tracy is out, I think Singletary is a play. They don't have

02:25another running back there, so I think he could play. Neighbors could play.

02:30Drew Locke is even better than what they've had. I'm not even sure. Look, this is an awful game,

02:35but every game counts now, George. You know, DFS, even fantasy playoffs. I was really discouraged,

02:42George, by the comments of Pitts. Really discouraged seeing Kyle Pitts' comments.

02:47I just work here. Oh my gosh. That is not a huge endorsement for Pennix,

02:53and he sees him in practice all the time. I'm a little worried.

02:57I'm a lot worried. I'm a lot worried because in that one league where I think I'm going to get

03:00spanked, I'm starting Neighbors. I'm starting London. All right. I think I took Mooney out of

03:05my lineup, and I put in some, I think Josh Downs, just because I want to get a little bit away from

03:10this game. Drew Locke and Michael Pennix, I don't know what we're going to get. I don't.

03:15You know, both defenses are poor, so that's what we're hoping for. If they're so poor,

03:18it doesn't matter here, but Locke has looked pretty awful here. I said I'd have been happier

03:23with Tim Boylan because at least he made Neighbors very usable last week here, and as for Atlanta,

03:28who knows? Pennix has a rocket for an arm. He can make all the throws here, maybe, but it's just,

03:34it's not something I want to deal with. I don't, but I have no choice.
