Fantasy Football - Playoff Primer + Trade Targets & League Winners - Podcast for 11/12

26:31You saw this with a great matchup for Tajay Spears, who ended up a top 10 back in those weeks. You saw this with Brian Thomas Jr., who had a perfect schedule and then a perfect finish at wide receiver one over the last three weeks. Jalen McMillan, lower tier guys with good matchups, broke out and had big weeks. Even Chigakonkwo. I think Akonkwo is like, that's the big one to also point out. The matchup does matter. And at this point of the schedule, you can't guarantee a defense won't figure it out. You can see the Baltimore Ravens. But if you find, you've got to chase the trend at this point.

27:08Trade deadlines are coming up. Yeah, you got 10 weeks of information. If you're wanting to take a shot on the schedule, now is the time to do it. And they do – it does matter. Like, guys just perform better against defenses that give up points to that position. Jason, maybe briefly talk about the schedule adjusted versus points given up. We have a strength to schedule to on the website where you can sort by either just total fantasy points given up to the position or schedule adjusted. And we default to schedule adjusted. So if you click off of that, you can see just the total. But schedule adjusted is a better way to look at it.

27:41What it's doing is you are factoring in who these defenses have played. And I think the easiest way to understand is looking at the tight end position. Yes. Because some teams don't score points at the tight end position. They just don't even have one that they throw the ball to. You know, you've got a guy, you know, it's like every week you're averaging like 20 yards to the tight end position. So then when a defense plays against that team, oh, they shut down the tight end. They goosed them. It's like, well, everybody does. That doesn't matter. Did you play against Travis Kelsey? Yeah, it was a good sample that week or something.

28:15So what it does is it basically takes a look at the average of your opponent. So I'm playing against the Cardinals. Trey McBride averages X amount of points per week. Did we give up more than that or did we give up less than that? And that's basically what we're doing. So all the data that we're looking at here is adjusted for the schedule. so we know how do they fare against the average at each position. Well, you guys want to start at the quarterback position for 2025? Mm-hmm. Best quarterback schedules to put into your memory banks here to consider before the trade deadline or not consider based on your guys' thoughts on some of these names.

28:54But right now the best schedules on paper look like J.J. McCarthy to a tongue of Iloa, who had the impressive week this past week. Big plays to Jalen Waddell. So Lamar Jackson, at least the first two weeks, looked really good, Cincinnati and New England. And then Daniel Jones, I think that's a fun discussion we could have. The commanders, if they get Jaden back, which they might, if they could stay in contention, are also one of the better schedules out there. So, I mean, I would be hyper nervous about J.J. McCarthy. I can't imagine I am putting myself – I'm going to leave the door open that he impresses me from weeks 11 through 14.

29:36And if that happens, then maybe that will swing the door open a little bit. Lamar, that's just a, wow, that's swell. If I have Lamar Jackson, I look ahead that the schedule is great. This is more for you don't have a total and complete solution at the quarterback position. You might want to piece it together where J.J. McCarthy, If you get some confidence in what's going on, we're just saying week one of the playoffs, he plays the Dallas Cowboys. And J.J. McCarthy is on a lot of waiver wires out there, if you're talking single quarterback. And then, okay, I play McCarthy one week, and then the next week, hey, look, it's two against Cincinnati.

30:19So it's about piecemealing together these three weeks for the best possible quarterback play with the best possible matchup that you can find. So we're just trying to lay those out. The Cincinnati in the semifinals for Tua, that's great. And then Daniel Jones in the championship week, he plays against Jacksonville. They're giving up almost five points above expectation to the quarterback position. You know what I like about Daniel Jones' schedule is the matchups, while they're great on paper, from fancy points given up to the quarterback, they are teams that could challenge and beat Indianapolis.

30:57I don't want there to be a possibility just because a team gives up points to the quarterback that Jonathan Taylor wins the game in the first quarter and he doesn't throw the football. When you're in Seattle, I expect that thing to go the distance. When you're playing San Francisco with the division on the line at the end of the season, I expect that to go the distance. So those are encouraging to me. Yeah, so listening to Mike, there's two different approaches, right? Find the quarterback that you're going to ride through the playoffs. Daniel Jones would be my favorite because when you're looking at the playoff schedule, you pretty much ignore it with the studs.

31:30If you're great, you're great, whatever. But you're looking for people in the Daniel Jones tier where you can have really good performances, but it kind of matters the schedule. So that's one way to do it. The other way to do it is to get J.J. McCarthy, Justin Herbert, and Marcus Mariota or Daniels and just play against Dallas every week. Sure. Just target Dallas every single week. That's it. Yeah, you'd be in good shape then. I mean, Dallas, that's the commanders at the end of the season. That's Herbert in week 16. Yeah. So, you know, those are the highlight names. I think the Daniel Jones discussion is the most interesting one.

32:10You can win a championship with Daniel Jones. Yeah, I think you can. We have not seen the Cowboys since they made their trade, right? That's true. We don't know the new defense. So I don't think that's going to solve everything. Yeah, you're talking about Quinnen? Yes. Yeah, yeah. But a player of that magnitude can change some things up. So that's a – The nice thing is Quinnen is a run stuffer. And so great. Right. We're talking – Throw more on Dallas. The one quarterback to highlight that has a rough schedule that has been somebody carrying your team and been very good, we should flag it though because he's been a letdown in seasons past certainly it's Patrick Mahomes I mean they have to play the Chargers who are the fourth best against quarterbacks giving up three and a half points uh less than the average they play at Tennessee who can be defeated uh very easily without the passing game and then they play this is the most difficult one they play Denver yeah that could be a real I mean we just watched Denver and the Raiders battle to a 10-7 fart fest yeah that division fest hitman when when you're in division with good defenses which um obviously Denver has one of the best in the league you could end up with a very very dispoor like if I had if I had Mahomes I have no doubt that you could ride him to the championship in that last week yeah you're not gonna try and move away from Mahomes but I feel like in championship week, I might.

33:42If I got there with him, I still might look to, if there's another better option, that game scares me pretty bad. Well, let's turn the page. Let's talk about running backs. There have been a lot of names, a lot of streaming type of situations that have worked out recently. Players like Tajay Spears, you know, players looking, you look to Tyler Bidet, um monong guy has been in a lot of lineups demarcato right there's a lot of the middling tier again you play your studs you're not intimidated by playoff schedules for let me give you an example so we'll start with the worst on this one worst schedule is probably gibbs you're not benching gibbs right it's worth oh breaking news please don't be bathroom related Marvin Harrison Jr.

34:32Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Just had surgery for appendicitis and is out this week. Usually you can be back soon. It's much better than... Dang. But, I mean, out of the blue. When it happens, it happens. Yeah. Wow. Crazy. No one's safe from the appendix. No, that's... That was a surprise. I guess people who have already had it are safe. Yeah, those people are perfectly safe. We will never have to worry about Marvin Harrison Jr. missing another game for appendicitis once he's back in. No, you'd have to put an appendix back in and then you'd have to take it back out. Circling back, Gibbs, worse schedule.

35:11James Cook, bad schedule. Those two, those are players you're playing. It's worth knowing that you're going to have to play two road games for James Cook in New England and in Cleveland. There have been games where Cook has disappeared. Those are not going to be easy ones, but again, they're in the upper echelon. You're not worried about them. It's those middle guys that are interesting. The best running back schedule right now you know i get it's kind of a couple of committee situations the commanders have a great schedule towards the fantasy playoffs um the patriots do right and that could be a full committee at that point in time um and the cardinals have a good 16 and 17 as well trey benson is he's hiding i don't remember where we discussed him but he is a sneaky go trade for right now.

35:55While he's still hurt, it's not a guarantee, of course, because he had the meniscus repair. You don't know exactly when he's going to come back. You don't know for sure that it'll be full strength, but this is just a... It's another scratcher that you can grab. Semis against Atlanta. Championship against the Cincinnati Bengals. I think once Benson is back, he will dominate the the opportunities for Arizona. Yeah. Have we heard anything new about Benson that we can, I'll try and maybe Kyle, if you want to dig up any, any new Intel, but I haven't heard anything. Yeah, I haven't either. I, in the fact that we're local and we haven't heard anything.

36:36here we go. Two minutes ago, we got a real, real recent Theo Mackie, uh, Cardinals beat writer for Arizona's, uh, central no update from Gannon on Trey Benson or Bam night. Okay. So we, so the update from two minutes ago is no, update yeah perfect well pay attention to benson though because that's a that's a few weeks away devon a-chan good schedule the aaron jones jordan mason this is one to flag because it's dallas new york aaron jones seems to be getting the the most snaps and you know he's just not on the radar i think as maybe a league winning type of start yeah and i i don't know that he will be league winning but certainly be valuable he was very good this last week um when i'm looking at the the schedule and how it softens up for certain positions.

37:24You talk about those middling guys, but also rookies. Last year, Jalen McMillan had the breakout, but it was also against a really soft schedule, which I think benefits rookies. And there's two different rookie running backs that I think – Travion Henderson had his breakout this week. Hopefully he retains more work going forward, but his playoff schedule is so nice. and quench on Judkins start. I think all three weeks of the playoffs are great for him. Those, those two guys to me are exciting to get primed for the playoffs. Yeah, that makes sense. There are, you know, a number of backs where that can make the difference.

38:02Make sure you are ensuring the great ones too. I mean, we talked about this yesterday. Get yourself some Brian Robinson Jr. and those guys and tank. Also worth noting from a bad schedule standpoint, the bears are they have a really really rough first two weeks of the fantasy playoffs so the bears and the pittsburgh steelers yeah the where jalen warren which we had a nice puff piece about jalen warren some people are getting more excited about the touches um but jalen warren semis on the road against detroit finals on the road against cleveland those are that's not great and i love this because you currently have jalen i do in our league of record you're gonna have the bye week so that first week you might yeah i presume you'll have a bye week and if you do you get a great schedule that you don't need and then once you're back in the playoffs mike tough tough schedule i love that you love that about that warren you're just gonna get him to make a trade We'll take a break.

39:05We'll talk White House.

41:11The best wide receiver schedules are playoff primer, taking a look at what we know right now. Minnesota, Jefferson, Addison. It's often the... it often correlates with the quarterback schedule certainly and so you have not always you have jj and addison you have waddle for with tua i mean waddle could be a league winner he does feel that way for sure and then um you know the 49ers also have a really juicy schedule not that we expect to know which wide receivers are going to play that week we've had we've had kindrick born been has been relevant on this team this year we've had ricky pierce i'll start the year hot we had juan jennings have a nice week we have brandon iuk who my goodness i saw i saw videos of him running around the field six weeks ago and he looked great so this one feels a little bit more interpersonal than it does maybe injury recovery at this point maybe um but he could be he could be back i mean pierce saw his injury is one where he's already come back from it wants him and hurt so you need to keep the jennings iuke stuff on the radar or born or other players um debo and terry that correlates with the the mariotta and jayden daniel situation and then the eagles who i just watched a.j brown on a on a live stream i saw he's like if you have me in fantasy just drop me that's what he said he that's how that's how he's feeling contributing to this team he's not happy and i love that with my wide receivers i want them to be displeased displeased when they're not getting enough stats it's fair and they're seven and two and just won another game zay flowers nice schedule for the first two weeks as well for the Ravens.

42:53Amon Ra, you're playing him no matter what, but guess what? Jamison Williams, who's been really hot right now, great schedule to start the fantasy playoffs. He feels like waddle light on a league-winning potential where this offense is cooking. We had Jared Goff, the number one quarterback, last year in the fantasy playoffs. Jamison Williams can be on your radar and probably could be picked up, if you believe, at the deadline, much cheaper than a lot of these other players. So if you had to go trade for someone right now based on the playoff schedule that you think is acquirable at a decent price, who would you target?

43:29To me, it is Waddle. AJ Brown. AJ Brown. If we're talking everything baked into one, the risk, the reward, the cost, AJ Brown is where I would go. Maybe Terry. Will it work for AJ Brown? I mean, we had a stretch run. where the Eagles were actually throwing and doing some fun, cool things. That's the thing. You've at least seen it a little bit this year in a snapshot. If that timed up and came back for your fantasy playoffs, it would be incredible. I think it will. And I think you have to just – context is key, right? This was a player who had No. 23, No. 3 finish, then got the hamstring injured, then comes back and plays Green Bay, and this was a defensive battle through and through on the road.

44:18It just didn't happen. I mean, they went fourth down bomb to A.J. Brown. You know, that play happens. You're on a three-game run, and you're not probably talking on Twitch about how unhappy you are. And they have a good schedule. So that's the top of my list. Okay. I feel like, you know, you'd love to say Zay Flowers, but to me, Zay Flowers has shown us through three years that if you stare at him too intently, he will disappoint you, and we haven't had a – Ceiling games are just not showing up. No top 24 games. I was going to say, he is a fine play during the playoffs. He's not the league winner.

44:51He's not going to go out there and put up 30 points. Conversely, are you worried about any of these guys because of schedules? We talked about Mahomes. So Rashi Rice has a tough schedule. You have Marvin Harrison. That one is probably one of the most difficult because Marvin scares me. I don't know that he is good enough yet in his career to just be one of those guys where it's like, hey you you dominate the tough opponents you really overcome the the hard matchups the fact that week one week two week one week two is at houston on the road and then the atlanta falcons obviously we don't atlanta sometimes shows up sometimes doesn't but that's he's like that perfect tier where he's a really important player to your team that is not always going to get it done and it looks to me like it's going to line up where he's not going to get it done in the playoffs what about a buka who has a tougher schedule atlanta carolina miami buka's a stud yeah i mean i you don't like the schedule but he i wouldn't like i'm not doing the trade away a buka for someone with a better schedule yeah agreed well let's look at the tight end position this could be one of the most important things you do is make a decision on your if you're not in the upper echelon tier nothing makes a bigger impact than these matchups for tight ends i mean chigga Conquo last year winning championships.

46:10Najoku the year before winning championships. The Dolphins have a great schedule. We don't know if Darren Waller is going to be back, but it's worth it. Even if it's not Waller. You still have Waller on your team, Jason? Oh, yeah. Come on, baby. Get healthy, Darren. I need a Walrus in the playoffs. That schedule that we love.

46:30Obviously, we like it for the passing game. Tua, Waddle, Waller, hopefully. And if it's not Waller, then Greg Dulcich you know could be a streaming candidate through the playoffs the Mark Andrews situation for the Ravens it's very good the first two weeks of the playoffs Cincinnati New England a little pat on the butt here for Tyler Warren great schedule you're always going to be playing him Sam Laporta great schedule worth noting Laporta can make a huge impact that that one jumps out to me as the maybe the the biggest one here because you know you don't know if wallers back andrews would make me nervous even in a good matchup could get it done but laporta that one jumps out to me yeah he he tends to show up in good matchups and so you know we were coming off a uh what three of the previous four weeks he was number four this past week still five for 53 you can't complain about that just didn't get into the end zone starting to look like a little bit more of a consistent play wait so we had a good game from laporta and jamison williams yep and Al Monroe?

47:33Thank you, Dan Campbell. Yeah. Dan Campbell just, his press conference was amazing because he's just such a no-nonsense guy, and he also just doesn't play into the drama. He's just like, look, guys, we needed a change. He's like, we just made a change. It's not like it's not collaborative. We just needed to do something different. It worked this week. That's what he said. Yeah, 44 points. It's like just, you know, good. That's called coaching. Coaches change stuff. Bad coaches just let drew pets and keep calling plays how about this you worried about any of these names that have the worst tight end schedules brock bowers no he's got one of the worst travis kelsey yeah a little bit um a little bit the those are the real big ones the and not that every single game is the same just talking for the for the chiefs they do play they play denver this week right now i'm not yeah no you get a little preview yeah they're on the road against denver so you'll you'll get at least a snap you know just just a quick picture of what does it look like that's right and have some confidence if kelsey goes out and has you know six for 50 okay i'll be all right with that yep and then um or you could just be terrified if kelsey goes out there and does nothing this week yeah those those ones are you know jumping off the page if you're if you ride like Gadsden and Dr.

48:59Schultz and Goddard into the playoffs, know that they have tough schedules. So maybe don't bank on them. Maybe you have an option to go somewhere else. I feel like maybe Greg Dolcich isn't being talked enough about. I haven't heard anything on Darren Waller, which isn't necessarily bad, but obviously it would be great to hear like, oh, he's healthy, he's running, he's ready to come off the IR. and since you're not hearing that the route participation has been going up and up for yeah the snaps and everything just it looks a lot like waller i mean yeah not the same exact production of course but the they're working him in and he and then over the next couple weeks he could be a focal part of the offense focal part point whatever yeah i said the wrong word i might have heard something yeah i i brain said point but i said part i heard somebody was it mcafee i Somebody said litmus test.

49:56Oh, no. Somebody said it like Jason. Good. Somebody in media. My mind virus is working. Yeah, somebody in media got suckered in. It's a litmus test, everyone. Once you do things like that and you talk, all of a sudden, I know that there's people out there that every time they're going to say litmus, they're going to, wait, is it? No, which one? Yep. Suckers. Gotcha. you another big position that that is maybe the most crucial to make sure you're set up for it is the defensive starts for the playoffs who's got the best defensive schedules right now I think the Texans are one that I would target because you you want the combination of a of a good defense right with good matchups right like the the Saints have maybe the best you know schedule out there are you really gonna bank on nope the saints defense no so no the texans they they've been going back and forth on waivers i've seen in leagues you know they're they're acquirable but arizona at home uh the raiders at home those are great matchups to start your playoffs buccaneers have been a team i've added in my playoff bound leagues the buccaneers they They get to play at home against Atlanta.

51:11Love that. They get to play at Carolina. Love that even more. Then at Miami. But the Buccaneers defense, we know what it is. They can have big performances. They're interesting. The Chiefs are interesting. The Steelers have been – so here's – so the Steelers go Miami, which is a pretty good matchup for fantasy points scored on defense. Then Detroit in the second week of the playoffs. You're obviously not going to want to start them then. And then the worst, the best matchup for defense special teams is the Cleveland Browns, who they have in championship week. If you ride the Steelers, they will kick you out of the playoffs.

51:51It will not work. But if you find yourself in the championship, please pick them up. Because I do think that they'll be one of those league winners. There are a couple of defenses you're probably going to ride into the playoffs. Maybe three of them that have tough playoff schedules to be aware of. That would be the Broncos, who have to start their playoffs against Green Bay. Then Jacksonville. Those are not good matchups. And then Kansas City. And the Packers, they have to play Denver, Chicago, Baltimore. That seems nerve-wracking because we love the Packers' defense. We love the pressure they put on the quarterback.

52:25But if you tell me you've got to go into Denver and play at mile high, then you've got to play Chicago in their building. and then you play Baltimore in the championship week, that makes me a little nervous. Same with the Vikings, tougher schedule. Chargers, tougher schedule. All four of those teams. Chargers. Even the Seahawks, who have been really good, they've got to play Indianapolis and the Rams. I don't like that. No, the Chargers, Seahawks, those are – you can't go into your playoffs with them. You cannot start those tier defenses against those opponents. Well, that's it for the playoff primer.

52:59Let's talk some mailbag.

53:03mailbag presented by nfl sunday ticket on youtube tv all right into the mailbag we go i i just heard some clinking cups he's got multiple why do you have so many cups i just i had a coffee and a water he's a little dehydrated yeah i gotta gotta hydrate a little dehydrated um i was half expecting him to pour the full bottle of Pepto into one of those. Pour that in his coffee creamer. I just go straight from the bottle. Oh, do you? Oh, yeah. In a moment like that? Yeah, just swig. Did you say on this show you were seriously considering making another one of those steaks? Yeah. They're so good. It was so good.

53:43Was it worth it? Oh, yeah. No, no. It was not worth what I went through eating the eight-hour leftover steak. But, yeah, I mean, I'm going to make it again. It was great. just be careful leave the bacteria out yeah that's the real how long was the microwave journey like 40 seconds it was just a warm up is there a certain amount maybe it was like 20 seconds is there an amount of if you microwave that thing for 10 minutes there's no chance does it all get nuked it's temperature isn't there like a bacteria though like on rice where you can't twice reheat rice because that's a tough thing to say. White rice, yeah.

54:26You can't reheat white rice twice. White rice twice. Because you'll die. I've heard... Yeah, you'll die. No. I mean, Al's looking at me like I'm crazy. I promise you if you look this up, I promise you you'll die. I've definitely reheated rice. Look up what I'm talking about. And I'm alive. I think I've heard that as like an old wives' tale. It's not an old wives' tale. There's a bacteria that is there and you can't get rid of it. And if you reheat it twice, I'm telling you, you could die. No. Yes. No. The whole entire internet's coming for all y 'all after this show goes live. I think there is some hyperbole happening here where maybe there's bacteria that can survive a white rice reheat twice, but you don't die.

55:15It's called reheated rice syndrome. And it is a severe, I mean, people have died many times. and it is a very serious thing. So be careful with your reheated rice is what I'm saying. I'm trying to save lives. Trying to save some lives. It is called Becilius Sirius? Yes. Yeah, Mike just cast the spell. Okay. Do your own research, man. I'm telling you. I'm telling you it can happen. This will be your next one. I'm saving you from the next... I don't want you missing another show. I'm never reheating white rice again. um all right into the mailbag we go if you have a question for us go to the website the fantasyfootballers.com there's lots of good stuff up there including amazing articles by the writing staff coming out each and every day you can also uh dial our voicemail hotline if you have a question 302-464-TFFB I don't think we have any voicemails today we'll start with a question from Wesley in Omaha Baller Bros who is Jonathan Taylor's insurance backup PS glad Jason is alive you and me both brother dj giddens is it yes i think so i i mean it doesn't you you could you could argue it's not but yeah um i early in the season it was very clear that it was dj giddens like he was it seemed involved when when whenever the games were um you know out of hand and they basically sat jonathan taylor in the fourth quarter it was giddens and so as the jonathan the Taylor manager I made sure to roster DJ Giddens and I have since moved on because I'm not super confident their use Tyler Goodson was the one that got a snap last game that's the problem I don't think you'll know for sure if it's Giddens or Goodson so do you just I actually think it could be Abdullah Abdullah we've seen he might be the most productive I don't know that he'll get the most snaps should Jonathan Taylor go down I don't know that you're going to have a guy I don't know that you're gonna have abdullah or goodson or giddens really be great for fantasy you might end up in a in a timeshare it's kind of like you look at the colts and the last couple years they have had an amalgamation of tight ends they they didn't have a stud tight end so it was like oh it's mo alley cox it's you know everybody just kind of worked in a little bit and then they went and got a stud and it's him you know i think that's what's going to happen with their running back room if their stud goes down they're just going to work in the average joe guys and and everybody gets a couple carries so that sounds like reheating rice twice you just don't want to do it you don't want to mess with with uh the running back room sven sven in germany oh bonjour bonjour from germany would you trade george pickens away for breeze hall in a full ppr league i am stacked at wide receiver with Puka, Nico, and Rice as my starters and could need some help at depth at running back.

58:10I mean, I think it's fine. It's fine. It's a fair trade. Yeah, I would do that if you need a running back for sure. Yeah, I don't have a problem with it. Yeah, definitely the same tier. I think that's what you look at when you're talking about a wide receiver for a running back trade is like are they the same caliber within their position and then it's just team needs. Can I throw a new backup option out there real quick? Sure. Michael Wilson of the Arizona Cardinals. With the news that we're going to have no Marvin Harrison. Zay Jones just tore his Achilles, by the way. That was confirmed. And they don't have – I think they have three healthy wide receivers on the team.

58:45So Jacoby Brissett is throwing for 250 a game. Oh, Trey McBride. So, I mean, Trey McBride is going to cook. He's going to eat. But – The Phil's hungry. He's so hungry. Michael Wilson, Amari DiMarcado in the receiving game out of the backfield. Backup options for Arizona. The Dorch? Maybe. I don't know. Yeah, I mean, maybe. It's a backup option. A backup to the backup? It's not a top option. All right, here's a question I've seen actually a few times. I have answered it on X. Nick in Minnesota, do you shop Henderson, Travion, right now, for an upper-tier option, or do you hold on to him? some of the trades I saw getting floated

59:29they were wild and I was like I would trade Travion in all the situations that I had seen I see one asking would you trade Travion Henderson for Bucky Irving straight up because there's so many questions there and I would definitely do that Bucky was back at practice today he was spotted it's a real fuzzy photo

59:53Yeah, fuzzy fella. I don't know if he's impressed with anything. Would you trade Travion for Bucky? Just straight up. I think, man, it's a tough question. If I have, so this question is I got McCaffrey. What? McCaffrey, Johnny Taylor, and Judkins. Then sure, I'm okay with that because you can make it through, like you don't need Henderson this week and you can wait a couple weeks for Bucky. Okay. Okay. What do we got here? Stephanie and Idaho. I've been sorely disappointed with the Nick Sutton stack. Yeah. You and Mike both. I hear that. Do you recommend Flacco or Nick's in week 11? Also, is it time to bench Sutton for Alex Pierce after his bye?

1:00:40Who's that? Alec Pierce after his bye. Thank you, Littness. goodness there's nothing that feels worse than when Jason corrects your speaking but yes Cortland Sutton for Alec Pierce I'm open to it so this week I would play Flacco I can tell you I have both and I will be playing Joe Flacco on the road against Pittsburgh yeah I'm really I'm kind of into Joe I told you I had an irrational belief in Joe Flacco and Joe Burrow's gonna mess it all up Bo Nix right now is my quarterback 22 on the week so if you're in a single quarterback league I would not be playing Bo Nix I agree he's playing the Chiefs yeah it's it will be shocking to me if Bo Nix has a good game he can run so there's always the potential to to save your week and have a nice big long touchdown run but the the process says try to find someone else.

1:01:48Louie in Ohio. Should I trade Justin Jefferson for Devontae Adams? Oh. I don't think I would do that. Hmm. I don't think I don't think I would do that. I don't think I would do that. You hope that JJ is just going to be improved in time? I just don't like the Devontae injury oblique situation. I I think it's a bigger question if he didn't have that. Do you disagree? I mean, I think Jefferson is – you're trying to win this thing, man. Yeah. I don't know – working it out right now in my head, but I don't know where you guys sit with that one. I think that's very close. I'm trying to see what the Rams schedule is to finish the season.

1:02:35I can tell you, the Rams schedule is Detroit, Seattle, Atlanta. I don't love that. No, but Adams has been... It's touchdowns. I'm formally answering no. You have this situation on your team, Mike. I know. I'm thinking through it in my head. If that were offered to me, the Keeper League makes it harder. Our league in particular, I'm going to keep Jefferson. That was today's Mailbag. Watch every game every Sunday with Interval Sunday Ticket and YouTube TV.

But let the record show. You tied, Mike.
