00:00All right, Cowboys, Eagles, we know two key players out of this one, Jalen Hurts and CeeDee Lamb.

00:06So, it becomes tough. George Illustrated earlier, he doesn't think he'd start anybody. I still think

00:11if Rico Doudle got you here, I think he's your RB2 and he's starting again in this game. Saquon

00:15Barkley is rock solid. You said no AJ Brown, right? No, all the receivers there?

00:22I don't know. I'm going to assume that Hurts is not out. We think he's not going to play,

00:25but he's not out yet. Assuming he is out, which we assume he is. I'm trying to think. Barkley,

00:31yes. I'd rather not start either receiver. I don't trust Pickett. Pickett will be better.

00:35He'll be better, but I don't know if he'll be good. I think there's other directions you can

00:39go here. But for fantasy, you may not have a choice. But boy, I mean, I don't want to see

00:45big games coming from here. I think it's going to be an ugly game, by the way, Greg. I think

00:48Philadelphia wins, but an ugly game, 20 to 13, something silly like that here. I am not starting

00:52Dattle. Philadelphia's run defense is excellent. Dallas will try and establish the run, no doubt,

00:58but I think it's going to be ugly for the Cowboys. You're going to need Dattle to somehow

01:02fall into the end zone, which he hasn't been very good at all season long. Even last week,

01:06they stole a touchdown from Dattle by Zeke Elliott, comes in out of nowhere.

01:11If I was a Dattle guy, I'd have been bouncing off these Wolves.

01:15Panthers, Buccaneers, again, they're both running backs or championship starters this week. Chuba

01:20Hubbard absolutely is. Bucky Irving absolutely is. Tampa Bay, as we talked about earlier,

01:25it does feel like Tampa Bay is going to get Mike Evans's touches his yard. So he's a championship

01:31starter and wide receiver. Baker Mayfield's a championship starter at quarterback. Who did I

01:35miss? I'm not so sure you missed anybody. All right. Adam Thielen and McMillan, they could be

01:42sneaky plays here. I do think points are coming up on the board in this game as well. Bryce Younger

01:46has been good here. I'm not starting him. Thielen and McMillan will be sneaky flex plays here.

01:53I'd probably lean more towards McMillan than Thielen. All right. Now the Jets and the Bills,

01:58actually some, you know, George keeps mentioning the weather, but still, I still think you consider

02:03your main options. So Josh Allen, of course, rock solid. We talked about James Cook, Shahir,

02:09those are in. And for the Jets, you know, I don't think that you could start Wilson,

02:15but Devontae Adams has been as steady as any wide receiver in fantasy the last month. It feels like

02:20Aaron Rodgers like woke up and was like, you know what? I got to get this guy the ball a lot more

02:23often. I'm also here to tell you, George, I think you may have better options in Brees Hall. I've

02:30watched him play the last couple of weeks. I know they're playing him. He does not look right to me,

02:34man. I'm, if I had, you know, Bucky Irving as an example, I think I'd start him over Brees Hall.

02:41I'm concerned that he's not a hundred percent.

02:45Oh, so what I, by the way, if I had Irving Hall, that's my choice. I think Irving's an easy choice

02:49to anything. It's close. Oh, it's a shame. This whole is a great running back. But I think he is

02:52banged up with the knee. He mentioned that, you know, he may not be playing if not for, you know,

02:57that he wants to be out there, but maybe he shouldn't be out there, that sort of thing there.

03:01But I don't know if you have better than him. I just don't know if you do. So you may have to go

03:04there. Other than that, you named all the players here. I can't believe, by the way, if you made it

03:08this fall, you have Garrett Wilson on your team, which is probably a second round pick.

03:12And you're not wrong. You may have to think about sitting him. That's just sad.

03:16All right. Colts and Giants. All right. Now we've reached that portion of the program.

03:23Jonathan Taylor. Yes.

03:26Tyrone Tracy is a flex if you have to. Neighbors, if you have to. Great player, just not

03:34doing anything. Under one and a half players I got starting in this game in the championship.

03:41I would take the over here, because Taylor's a definite, and people are going to start

03:44either Neighbors or Tracy. All right. So I think it's going to be two. So that's a tough overrun,

03:49because two and a half you would take. I think I might have to make it a flat two. All right.

03:53Then we'll do some pushes here. Yeah. Taylor's a must. Neighbors, Tracy, if you have to,

03:58I understand it. But your upside is limited. All right. Raiders and Saints. Raiders,

04:04other than Brock Bowers, now a zero. We're down to zero, even with O'Connell. Saints, zero.

04:09Give me a, can you name a Saint? I can't even name one.

04:14I could see, I mean, once again, I'm going to assume Kamara's out. All right. I can see

04:19Condrey Miller. You're desperate. You had Kamara. There's no one else out there in the wave of one.

04:24I mean, you've got to know some Raiders suck. You know, they have some great rush defense.

04:28I don't want to. I don't want, I assume you got eliminated on Monday night.

04:34I would guess the Saints, by the way, usually when this happens,

04:38teams are really good offensively the next week, unlike the Bears. But I think the Saints may score

04:44some points this week. So I agree with you there. Same thing in this Titans-Jaguars game. Why not,

04:48right? Like just go all out. Brian Thomas, yes. The tight end we talked about, maybe

04:56Strange is a possibility. Tennessee, it's really hard to figure who's going to do what every week.

05:01Tennessee was down like 30 in like the first five minutes. Then they came all the way back.

05:05But then I looked at the fantasy numbers. They weren't even great for a lot of the players.

05:09Ridley is someone I would look at here. I don't want to, but I would look at Spears

05:13is playing more than Pollard. Pollard's banged up and he's still banged up, by the way. So maybe

05:17that's somebody, but there's likely to be some kind of, you know, where they're both going to

05:21split the carries here with touches. You're not gonna be happy either way.
