[Amanda Black] (0:00 - 0:43)
What is up guys? Welcome to another episode of Let's Talk Football Sis. I'm Amanda and I'm Ange.
And yes, we're together. What the fuck is up guys? We are so excited to roll into week number 13.
We are what, two weeks away? Two weeks away from the playoffs, right? Yeah.
Most of you week 15 playoffs. And if your league is set up differently like that, a man probably set it up because that's fucking crazy that they would let week 18 roll into the playoffs because it shouldn't. So we are onwards and upwards.
We are game planning to not only win your week to hopefully be able to get that first week playoff bye, but or to get your ass in the playoffs. We're also planning for the championship baby. So we're going to get right into it.
We're not even going to rip off any band-aids, except I do want to know Ange, how'd your fantasy week go?
[Angela Sims] (0:43 - 1:09)
It went okay, except the one league I had Baker Mayfield and he just, it's even worse when you have a player who starts and then goes out midway because it just ruins it. And I should have won and I didn't even score a hundred points. But the other league I sat Baker for preset and that was my gut told me to do it ladies.
So follow the gut if it's a gut feeling and then it worked out. So I'm not too bad. How about yours?
Hell yeah. I love to hear it.
[Amanda Black] (1:10 - 2:07)
I did also trust my gut on something and it worked out terribly. So I was like, you know what, I'm going to take a risk for the biscuit. And I was like, I don't like Trevor Lawrence this week.
And I played fucking Mason Rudolph over Trevor Lawrence. And like, nonetheless, I would have lost that league anyways. I was losing by a long shot.
So I was like, whatever, we'll go upside. Uh, that didn't, that didn't work out for me, but I did win my league. I'm in with my husband.
So I won that one. Um, and then I wanted by solely five points and that'll be my play of the week. I'll bitch about that in a hot second.
And then I also won our girl, like our annual girls league Sundays for the girls, which felt good because I'm just, I want to make sure I get into the playoffs and I don't want to take as many losses as possible, but that'll roll me right into my play of the week, which is not a good play of the week. Okay. It's a shitty play of the week because what the fuck was Brock Purdy doing throwing three interceptions in the first quarter?
I posted it on our Instagram stories because I was like in depths of despair. Cause here I am. I sat, I think it was Daniel Jones.
No, I sacked at Prescott because in no world did I think the Dallas Cowboys would have a shot.
[Angela Sims] (2:08 - 2:21)
Yes. It was a crazy game. I almost turned it off and went and did stuff because I was like, well, this is a blowout.
Why am I even watching this? Took the dog out for a walk, came back, boom, they're, they're tied. And then it was like a game all of a sudden.
I never thought it would happen either.
[Amanda Black] (2:21 - 3:00)
No. And I was like, I'm not playing Dak Prescott against a shitty, like a good Eagles defense. I'm not doing it.
So I trust my gut play Brock Purdy. Fuck you Brock Purdy. He threw the first interception.
I'm like, it'll buff out then the second and then the third. And then the guy in my husband's league message in the chat, he's like, all I needed was Brock Purdy to score five points for me to win five points. And every time he's like, Oh no, I might actually beat her.
I was like, I hate my life. Nonetheless, I ended up pulling out the victory. We're good.
We're good to go. But sincerely, what were you do? Did he like Mrs. Glasses prescription?
I, it was, it was rough going baby face Brock Purdy. He's got some shit to think about next week. What's your play of the weekend?
My play of the week is good old Jamis.
[Angela Sims] (3:01 - 3:50)
You can't, you can't not have a week when Jamis Winston is not your play of the week. And I'm sad, but I'm glad Jackson will be back. But Jamis Winston just adds that little bit of spice to the week, but his trick play score, um, you know, kind of that trick play too.
I had the name in my head. It was an obscure player. It was like, Oh, all the WAP ski something.
Okay. But it wasn't even like this guy was wide open. Okay.
I just could pass it to my quarterback. No, he had to like, you know, scramble a little bit. Jamis is down there waving his hand.
And if he were miked up, I would pay money, pay money to hear what he's yelling to the Lord down there. Throw it to me, my boy. And then he's in the touchdown or he makes the touchdown, does that little celebration where they like throw the dice.
And it was just great. I love Jamis.
[Amanda Black] (3:50 - 4:14)
I know it was so cute. I also think like, in my opinion, just for the culture of the Giants, like in there, it would be in their best interest to keep Jamis Winston around because, you know, like, I just also think he fits like the goofy guy, like vibe of the entire Giants team. Like keep that man around.
I did see a tweet or a meme or something. It was like, they should, next year should just have Jamis Winston be able to float from team to team, whoever needs a quarterback, just so we can always be watching Jamis Winston football.
[Angela Sims] (4:14 - 4:26)
Well, apparently he made a comment that he would play another position to still play with the team because he loves the team that much. He loves the guy. So, you know, who knows?
Maybe we'll see him as a tight end, throw him out there as a kicker.
[Amanda Black] (4:26 - 5:13)
Let's see what happens. Right. There's been a ton of kicker injuries.
I love it. All right. Well, I'm going to roll into my vet of the week and that relieves me right back into the Giants because my vet of the week is Wanda Robinson.
He had an amazing game. I think everyone's always a little nervous to start Wanda because it's just been hit or miss. He isn't like a true wide receiver one either.
He's a smaller dude, but first play of the game, he scores a touchdown or first drive of the game. He scores a touchdown. And I think every woman who started Wanda Robinson took a collective deep breath.
Me too. Cause anytime we give advice and it works out early, I'm like, now I could take a mid game rest, baby. I'm happy with it.
But he came out hot. He did so well. And again, just the connection with Jamis Winston.
And we'll hope that continues with Jackson Dart. It was, even though they're losing the Giants are just so fun to watch. Cause even when they take the L they, they, they kept the lions on their toes.
That's for sure. What's your play of the week or your vet of the week, vet of the week.
[Angela Sims] (5:14 - 6:01)
I was like play wait. So vet of the week is not just one person, but as a collective unit of the Browns freaking defense, because they were unreal. And I'm so glad that I stashed them earlier in the year so that I could play them for these moments right now.
Gino Smith sucks. He sucks so bad. And I, I kind of felt bad for him.
And now I just don't because you're an elite quarterback, like get your shit together, man. Right. But he was just getting pounded all night and it wasn't just miles Garrett taking the role was all of the Browns, you know, defenders there.
And it was just really cool. They broke the Browns, um, sack record. And then miles Garrett's like, I think five or six games away from breaking the all time sack record.
So I would love to see that happen. That's amazing. So the entire Browns defense, and I don't say many nice things about the Brown.
[Amanda Black] (6:01 - 7:03)
So no, and I'm going to lead right back into the Browns with my rookie of the week and give Chador Sanders some freaking flowers here. Cause like, here's the thing I felt I hated him. Right.
So cocky. And look, don't be wrong. I like a good, like fool of yourself, cocky type of dude.
Cause I like that energy, right? If you're that guy act like that guy, but he handled himself so poorly leading into the draft. Well, then he kind of got, obviously they shafted in the draft, but then like the fake prank phone call, then I was just feeling bad for Chador Sanders.
And so he didn't get the start, all the injuries and the suckiness that is the Browns offense. He finally got to do it. And he really did light a fire under that offense.
Even miles Garrett was like, Oh shit. Like they completed their first over 50 yard pass in like 15 consecutive games, which is asinine to think about. So you hope that again, this continues him and like, you never want anything bad.
Like, I hope he has a good season. I hope he continues out strong and maybe just, maybe probably not, but maybe this is their quarterback of the future. But we've said that about like every fucking player and every player gets better when they leave the goddamn Browns team.
But Chador Sanders, you'll get the flowers for my rookie of the week this week. How about your rookie of the weekend?
[Angela Sims] (7:04 - 7:46)
Rookie of the week for me is Luther Burden. So he didn't have the most maybe big flashy game, but the Bears offense is incorporating those rookies more into the offense. We've seen Colson Loveland do a lot of big things.
Kyle Manunga do a lot of big things. Luther Burden's now making kind of his, his presence known. I think going into the second half of the season, those guys are going to be reliable targets, especially with guys like Roma Dunzey, not performing like the flash of, in the pot he started off as.
So he completed, he had, I'm trying to look at my notes here, caught three passes for 46 yards. So great. And I think he's going to keep getting better as Caleb Williams progresses.
I think everyone put a little bit of doubt on the Chicago Bears and they've kind of proven everybody wrong.
[Amanda Black] (7:46 - 13:00)
Absolutely. Unfortunately, they beat the Steelers, which was sad, wonk, wonk, because like they, Steelers should have won. Like, let's be so honest, but maybe if Mason shaved his mustache, they would win.
Who knows? All right, well, let's move into some housekeeping here with the injury report. There's not a ton to talk about.
T Higgins did have a concussion. He's already ruled out for week 13. So keep your eye on that or update yourself on that.
Alvin Kamara MRI on his knee was done today. Let's keep an eye on what happens with his availability. Baker Mayfield shoulder injury.
We saw him leave after the second. So just keep your eye on that. J J J McCarthy concussion protocol.
Rogers is still dealing with that risk. We don't know who's going to be their quarterback for Josh Jacobs. Again, availability unknown at this point.
Emmanuel Wilson held that shit down though, man. Drake London. Again, we're still waiting on an update there as well.
That's the injuries as we know it. Always keep your eye on injury reports though, because sometimes there's those sneaky guys that pop out of nowhere, but we're going to waste no time and get right into the nitty gritty of why the bug you're here and talk about games. The good news is week 13 gives us zero Darrow bi-weeks.
So all of your bi-week woes are gone this week. We are all in full effect and some housekeeping to keep in mind. There are three games on Thursday.
Okay. So it's, it's Thanksgiving. Get your shit in order before you worry about the dinner.
Okay. Um, make sure you have your lineup set. So three games on Thursday, one game on black Friday, different schedule this week.
So make sure you're there. Any guy who plays early, a guy who plays on Thursday or Friday, they should be locked into their positional spots. What I mean by that is if you have a wide receiver, make sure they're playing in the wide receiver spot.
And even if you're better wide receiver plays later, you put them in the flex. Why do we do that? Because if you need to change your roster later, you'd rather have that wide receiver.
Let's say you're Drake London. You put them in your regular wide receiver spot. Well, then he gets ruled out.
Now you can only play a wide receiver. You want to make sure he's in that flex position that way. Cause he plays later.
I believe he plays later. I'm saying that like, yes, he does. So then he plays later that way.
If for some reason he did get ruled out last minute, someone gets sick, anything shit happens, right? We watch a Mecca book. I come down with an illness and everyone was clenching their pearls.
What are we going to do? Right? You want to be able to have someone you can pivot, throw a tight end and throw a running back in.
So that's how we want to roll our lineups, but let's go ahead and dive in to our first matchup of the week. And that's all my docket. We've got green Bay versus Detroit.
Now we are playing in Detroit. I like to say that because Jared golf knowingly does perform better at home in the dome. If this was at green Bay, our conversation would be different.
Green Bay though. Pretty simple. Your muster is going to be Josh Jacobs.
If he plays, you start him. Same thing with my manual Wilson. If Josh Jacobs doesn't play a manual, Wilson can be started.
I'm pretty confident on both of those. I'm not going to sit Josh Jacobs and Emmanuel Wilson looked good. Is this going to be a harder defense for him?
Yes, absolutely. But I still think this is a solid, solid go here. Now keep in mind that Detroit does have a pass funnel defense.
What this means is they're going to funnel everything into the past and try to stop the run. I'm still not sitting Josh Jacobs or Emmanuel Wilson just because of the work alone. So just keep in mind of that.
Now that means Jordan love is a great streaming quarterback option for week number 13. I would be starting him over guys like Lawrence Purdy, Darnold, even Daniel Jones with another hard matchup this week. I would though start Jacoby for set or bow necks ahead of Jordan love.
So he's a streaming option, not a must start your wide receivers. To me, they're Christian Watson is a must start. In my opinion, it's a great matchup for him.
I favor him over doves. Doves is not a full set. You might need him in your lineup due to injury.
So I think you can start both Watson and doves. It's just very roster dependent. I'm starting Christian Watson.
If I have him, cause I like that matchup, unless you're stacked in the wide receiver room. I would also start Romeo doves over Darnold Mooney, Jacobi Myers, Divo Samuels, and DJ more this week due to matchup purposes. So keep that in mind.
I'm sitting the tight end, Luke Musgraves from the green Bay Packers. And I'm playing the green Bay defense. Could you potentially pivot from them this week?
Yes, you could totally pivot from them this week and just moving the camera. If you're watching on YouTube. Oh, she, she fell.
Don't worry. She fell, but we're okay. Uh, I just like gave her like the most stern mom.
Look, if you're not watching on YouTube, I was like, stop it. Don't know. If you don't know that's the dynamic here for sure.
Nonetheless, sitting in Luke Musgraves, the defense for the green Bay Packers. Oh, I hate to tell you that I wouldn't drop them. If for some reason you can roster two defenses and start somebody else, go for it.
But if you don't want to have a second defense, you don't want to drop green Bay, just send it this week and hope for the best there. Moving on to Detroit. Your must-starts are Jameer Gibbs.
Duh. 50 points. I'm sorry.
If you played against him, like RIP to your week, that's unfortunate. You're starting Gibbs. You're starting all Monroe, St. Brown as well. Jared Goff's a streaming option. I'm starting Jared Goff over Purdy, Dart, Tua. I am going to sit Jared Goff behind Brissette, Love, Bo Nix.
This is a hard matchup. I'm so confident in Jared Goff at home, but I would still start Jacobi. I would start Jordan Love ahead of Jared Goff.
And I will also would start Bo Nix ahead of Jared Goff. I'm sitting the goose egg Jameson Williams. I joke like he's going to put up 20 points this week, but it's a fucking bad matchup for him in the wide receiver position.
So I'm not as super excited about that. Um, and I just don't want anything with that. I'm sitting Montgomery as well.
I think you have better options. Um, what do you marks Devin Neal? If he ends up taking over the backfield from kind of Mara, I even think gain well is a better matchup over Monty this week.
And there's no tight end relevance for the lions with Sam Laporta out. So that is the Green Bay Packers versus Alliance. Okay.
[Angela Sims] (13:01 - 14:18)
Moving into my next matchup. So another Thursday night game that we get to enjoy here. This is the four 30 game, I believe on Thursday night, Kansas city versus Dallas.
So on the Kansas city side, there are some very clear starts. So we're starting homes. We're starting Kareem hunt.
Um, even if, well, we did see that Pacheco was back. So that might change things a little bit. I, I think hunt is more explosive than Pacheco at this point.
I think he's playing like tougher football. He's getting those goal line touches. So I guess with Pacheco kind of back in action, that doesn't make hunting full start.
So I think when I did my notes, I didn't know that. Um, so we'll talk about that. And then Rasheed rice did not log a practice, I think on Monday, but I wouldn't be worried about that.
He's a full send. And then I'd also start Travis Kelsey against this Dallas defense. Um, really the only guy to talk about is Xavier worthy.
I think he is a startable player for sure, because of this very juicy Dallas defense matchup, even though we saw Dallas defense step up a little bit, they did acquire some new pieces that made them a little bit more, you know, kind of defensive. Um, but I'm going to start Xavier worthy over guys like Alec Pierce, DJ more, even Roma doomsday this week, because he has a better matchup and I'm sitting the Dallas offense for sure. Or defense.
I do that all of the time.
[Amanda Black] (14:18 - 14:21)
You're sitting in the Dallas defense. No, you're sitting in the Kansas city defense.
[Angela Sims] (14:21 - 15:06)
I'm sitting in the Kansas city defense. Oh my goodness. I typed Dallas defense in there.
All right. Moving on to the Dallas side. Uh, pretty much everybody's a must start for me here.
Dak Prescott, CD lamb, George Pickens, uh, Javante Williams and Jake Ferguson are all starts. That's a solid, um, offensive unit. You got to trust them.
Um, hopefully CD lamb makes more catches this week. Maybe he was mad because he got benched and for that one play, did we, did we found out why? Yeah.
Because they missed the curfew. They were degenerate, but you know what? If I had big money, I'd probably be a little degenerate too.
So, I mean, it's like dangling a carrot, like you're in Vegas. Don't go do it. Well, you can't help it.
Um, and then as far as the defense, I'm going to sit the Dallas defense as well. So pretty simple matchup.
[Amanda Black] (15:07 - 15:45)
Absolutely. All right. Moving over to my next game, I have Cincinnati versus Baltimore and guess who's back back, back, back again, Joey B's back baby or as we know it anyways.
Um, and I hope to God he doesn't do something stupid, like dye his hair, bleach blonde, because he looks right. Listen, I don't think Joey B is attractive. This could be a hot take, but like, I don't see it.
All I see is Macaulay Cokin and like, it's not okay. You put a wig on him. He's a lady.
I'm just, I'm not into the Macaulay Cokin vibe. Like it's just not Cokin, whatever. He just, it looks like I'm watching home alone and I can't hang.
Um, he's not my cup of tea.
[Angela Sims] (15:45 - 15:53)
A couple of years ago, Macaulay Cokin was Joe burrow for Halloween. Oh, that makes sense. I've never seen that.
Look it up. Cause it's hilarious. It's like Spain image.
[Amanda Black] (15:53 - 16:58)
Yeah. Yeah. No, just not, it's just like, not for me.
Like now we can talk about Jalen hurts and like, that's my cup of tea. My God. Um, nonetheless, Joey B is back.
I'm not playing Joey B though. Um, that's my personal take, right? I'm going to sit him down.
I'm going to wait a week. I'm going to see what happens with his health first. Also the Baltimore defense is heating up.
They've considerably gotten better since they started at first. We were like, you're going to play everyone against the Baltimore defense. You can't anymore.
I'm going to sit Joey B down. I would start guys like, um, obvious guys like Lamar Jackson, my homes may Allen hurts Stafford Herbert. If you need to hear it, all those guys come ahead of Joe burrow.
I want to wait a week and see what happens. He would be a good stash though. If he's out there and you want to keep them on your bench for the playoffs, we already said T Higgins is out.
Um, so out for week 13, your two must starts for the Cincinnati Bengals is Jamar chase and chase Brown. Throw them in your lineup, lock them in. Don't think too much about it.
I personally am not going to lean towards like a Yoshiva flex this week. I was hot on him last week. I do think that they're just going to use a lot of like fans back, sticky, a sticky bat and Micah sick.
He's back. So like these, I think they're just going to spread the ball around a little bit too much for me to feel confident with the secondary wide receiver.
[Angela Sims] (16:59 - 17:05)
Somebody else that was getting, uh, I don't, I can't think of the name off top of my head, but that was kind of stealing from Yoshiva.
[Amanda Black] (17:05 - 17:32)
So yeah, there's just too many, like there's enough weapons. I don't want to play roulette with, with Yoshiva this week. And then I don't want any part of the Cincinnati Bengals defense when it comes to Baltimore.
It's simple for the other reason. You're playing all of your heavy hitters, very similar to Dallas, right? You're playing Lamar Jackson.
You're playing Derrick Henry. You're playing Zay flowers. You're playing Mark Andrews, period dot end of story.
And I don't think that, well, now I wouldn't play the Ravens defense this week. I would pivot away from them. I think you have better upside options out there as well.
[Angela Sims] (17:32 - 18:44)
Okay. Very cool. All right.
Moving into my next game. This is the black Friday game, black Friday. It's our favorite day.
We traditionally every year go back by the shopping. We once sat outside a bus by in the cold in lawn chairs. We, and here's the best part.
We weren't going to get anything on the damn table. We were just going for the experience. It's on what we checked it off of our life bucket list.
So, but we are going to go out, but then we can enjoy some footballs at three o'clock. It's like the best time. Like that would be like my ideal.
I live on the West coast. I get to watch football in the mid afternoon. Perfectness.
All right. So for the Chicago side, the really only guy I'm even going to think about starting would be Caleb Williams. I think he's been pretty consistent, but against this Eagles defense, it is pretty tough, right?
So it's a tough matchup. I think Caleb Williams is scrappy enough to kind of pull it out. I think he has the volume and the players to throw to.
I think it's going to be a high scoring game. They're going to try to keep up with the Eagles defense. As far as starts over him, I would start Jacoby Brissett ahead of Caleb Williams.
[Amanda Black] (18:44 - 19:08)
Obviously Drake May. I'm trying to think where you drafted Caleb Williams. He was a little bit deeper on your draft board, but I would also start like Jordan Love this week over Caleb Williams, just solely due to matchup.
It would be really risky, but like, could you think about going Joe Burrow ahead of Caleb Williams? Yeah. It would just be risky because we don't know how Joey B is going to look back first NFL game after his injury, but Caleb has a hard matchup this week for sure.
[Angela Sims] (19:08 - 21:31)
It's hard. It's hard. I mean, I'm in a situation where I have to play him because Baker could be out and nobody picking Teddy Bridgewater up.
So, all right. Then moving into wide receivers, we got Roma Dunzey. He just hasn't been great.
We're sitting him. I'm starting guys over Troy Franklin over him, Christian Watson over him for sure. DJ Moore is a little bit of a different conversation.
He might be, he had a better game last week. Maybe he's becoming a little bit more relevant, but against this Eagles defense, I'm sitting him as well. I'm going to play Jacoby Myers over him, Keenan Allen over him.
They have much better matchups. As far as running backs go, um, we've saw Kyle Monongai take more of a lead. He kind of out snapped a little tiny, teeny, tiny bit.
It was like very a fraction of a bit, but I think he looks better than DeAndre Swift. Now that DeAndre Swift isn't a bad, like it was not like a Nick Chubb situation, right? Where he just falling off the face of the earth.
Um, if I had to pick between the two, because Philly is a little less stingy against the run, I'm going to go with Monongai just because he's more relevant at the goal line. Um, he's been scoring touchdowns at four touchdowns in the last, um, couple of games or four games. So I'm going to trust him a little bit more.
I'm going to sit him over, um, or start him over guys like, uh, Tracy, uh, Tyrone Tracy, definitely David Montgomery for sure. Um, but I might go maybe Bam Knight if Trey Benson, I'm thinking of the right one. I get the Cardinals and I get the Buccaneers mixed up in my brain.
I don't know why. Um, and maybe Connie Vidal again of Hampton. And that's another thing we didn't talk about is there's all these like questionable returning running backs, right?
That we want to see back for our fantasy relevance, Bucky, uh, moving into Colston Loveland. This is just a tough matchup for Colston Loveland. The Eagles lost second fewest points per game to the tight end position.
So I'm sitting Colston Loveland this week. Fanon, Otten, Ingram are all better options over him. And then I'm sitting the, um, defense here as well for the Bears, uh, into the Philly side.
It's pretty simple. You're, you're starting everyone. You're starting Jalen Hurts.
You're starting Devante Smith, AJ Brown, Saquon Barkley. Yeah. He's been a little bit disappointing.
You, you drafted him for his big plays, but you still have to trust him in my opinion. And Dallas Goddard as well. And then you're obviously, yes.
Starting the Eagles defense because they are dominant.
[Amanda Black] (21:31 - 24:31)
Yeah, absolutely. I've seen some conversations of like, you know, tank big speed when he's on the field, he's so much more explosive than Saquon right now. Just sit Saquon, play tank.
Um, and I just, I don't think there, I don't think that Nick Cerrone is going to do that. He's going to keep sending it on Saquon. Also Saquon is that kind of guy who's going to take that and like internalize, fix it and improve.
I have faith in it. The Eagles do have a fairly easy end of season schedule too. So keep in mind that that does give them a good playoff outlook for you as a fantasy manager, right?
Because again, I don't give a if this team wins or loses, I want my players to score big. Like our boy, AJ finally hooked everybody up, right? We took a big old deep breath on that one.
All right. Moving on to my matchup, San Francisco versus Cleveland. We got our must-starts of CMC and George Kittle.
Just lock them in and trust that. Now, obviously we see San Francisco coming against a hard Cleveland defense, but the San Francisco 49ers coach is smart as shit. Okay.
He's going to scheme to try to wear out the Cleveland defense and try to keep pretty safe. Okay. They know that Garrett, um, Garrett Wilson, Garrett Wilson, that's not it.
I say that every time. Miles Garrett, whoo, synonymous in my brain. Miles Garrett is trying to come against that sack total, right?
He's trying to get that, that record, which I'm here for. I love that for him, but they're going to try to be strategic to keep pretty safe. Nonetheless, I'm not interested in starting Brock Purdy at all.
I'm starting Jordan Love, Brissette, Goff, Bo, Darnold, Prescott, shit. I would even risk it for the biscuit on Caleb Williams ahead of Brock Purdy this week. Um, I'm sitting in Pearsall.
Obviously Ricky Dickey has been really upsetting ever since he've come back with the first week, 1.8 points this week, like two points, something points. They're just not connecting, right? There was opportunity.
I think we all would have been really happy if they would have just connected one or two times, but they're just not connecting right now. And I don't trust it. I'm going to sit Pearsall over guys like Michael Wilson is a flowers.
Troy Franklin would all get started ahead. And again, you have so much more options this week because there's no bi-weeks Juwan Jennings. I think this is a really risky stream.
He's better with Pearsall or with, um, Purdy than with Ben Pearsall is with Purdy PPP. Um, nonetheless, I think Jennings could be a potential stream, but again, it would just depend on what your roster looks like. In my opinion, I'm trying to sit him.
I'm not trying to start anyone against the Cleveland defense other than the guys I already mentioned. Um, but since there's no buys, you probably could keep them on your bench safely. I do think the 49ers defense, wonderful streaming option this week against a rookie quarterback in Chador Sanders and that moves me right into Cleveland.
Very easy here. You're going to start Cleveland's defense, run it back, put them in your lineup. Um, Judkins is a start health dependent.
Obviously keep your eye on that. He did go down with an injury. He came back into the game, but it's always like to mention it just in case something were to happen there.
Um, Sanders is a set fucking dumb ass. Jerry Judy is a set that idiot, like his, I'm just like, I literally opened my, uh, we just built this like big back deck thing on my home. And I opened up the kitchen window and my husband was sitting outside cause it was kind of fairly nice out.
And I'm like, well, what an idiot. And he was like, why? And I'm like, cause he, no, we just got cocky.
He caught the ball and then was like walking backwards and someone punched it out. Turnover fumble because he's an idiot, right?
[Angela Sims] (24:32 - 24:34)
This happened so many times.
[Amanda Black] (24:34 - 24:57)
Like I know. And he's their wide receiver one. Goodbye, Jerry Judy.
Same thing with Isaiah bond. No, thank you. And, uh, you could technically like fans always going to be a potential streaming start.
Um, so I don't, I'm not against you throwing in your lineup. I would sit fan in over like Schultz this week, Hunter Henry Goddard to just keep that in mind. He's not a full set.
I'm not starting a joke. I think you can pivot away from him. Fanon is getting a balk with the targets at this point.
[Angela Sims] (24:57 - 28:36)
I personally, I dropped in Joku. I'm, I'm kind of done. I don't think that it's even something that you need to keep on your roster anymore at all.
So I'm up. Okay. All right.
Moving into my next game, Jacksonville versus Tennessee, um, on the Jacksonville side, this is a little bit of a different tune because we might hear players that we haven't traditionally heard because they're playing a booty Tennessee, you know, defense. So Travis ETN is for sure a starting option. And the defense for me here is a streaming or a start option.
If you have the Jacksonville Jaguars defense for sure against the weak offense, uh, Trevor Lawrence could be a streamer. If you need somebody again, like I made a mention, you have everybody to pick from. So you might not be in a situation where you're like, Ooh, who do I start?
Because so-and-so is out. So it's a changes the game just a little bit, but he's definitely a streamer. Um, I would start him over Purdy.
I would start him even over Daniel Jones this week because of their tougher matchups against this easier matchup. Um, but I'm going to go love and brisette over Lawrence just for volume. Um, as far as wide receivers go, we have Jacoby Myers, we have Parker Washington, and then we're still kind of monitoring the return of Brian Thomas jr.
Oh, it looks like he's going to be back week 13 from what we can hear that, like he could make his return. So to speak on those, I think it's going to be a little tentative and you have to tape your expectations. He's not going to come back and be, you know, the stud, maybe he was last year.
So I think he still just doesn't connect with Trevor Lawrence. I think Jacoby Myers is taking over that role. Parker Washington for sure is taking over that role.
So if I'm choosing between these guys, Jacoby Myers, I'm going to start Jacoby Myers. I think Parker Washington is a really good play as well this week. I'm playing both of those guys over in Alec Pierce, a DJ more, a Ricky Pierce all for sure.
And then BTJ, you know, you're kind of tapering expectations with him. I, I would say sit him this week just because even the matchup is great. I get that.
And you might want to take a risk on it. And maybe you're in a position where you've been playing some obscure weirdo guy and you need him back. Then yeah, I'll plug him in there against the Titans.
Um, as far as the other running back, Tootin goes, I don't think he's a bad player to have to stash to possibly play. Um, when we saw Tootin in the game a couple of weeks ago before he left with injury, he was really dominant and taking a lot of those snaps from ETN. Now ETN has had two great back-to-back weeks.
I see ETN also having a great week this week, but Tootin is not someone that you just toot toot away, right? You think you don't boot scoot and toot in a way. So someone to, um, to keep in mind, I would even, I mean, you're obviously going to start a Tootin over David Montgomery.
He's getting more, more play than David Montgomery, in my opinion. Um, even maybe starting them over a Swift or Monongai against that matchup this week. This might be a little bit easier of a matchup for Tootin.
And then Brenton Strange had a really great game this week or this past week. Um, the Titans are a little stingier against the tight end position. So I'm not going to foresee Brenton Strange having such a hype game that he did last week.
I know we were talking about him in the beginning and Amanda said, everybody's asking me about Brenton Strange. What, you know, what do we do here? I would say taper expectations again with him.
And then this Jacksonville defense is most definitely a streaming option. Like I mentioned before on the Tennessee side, there's really nobody that I'm going to start again. I'm not putting any trust in Cam Ward after one big game.
And after one good week, uh, no, we're sitting him DK. If I had to pick between the DKs, I like this DK better than another DK, but in my opinion, he could be startable against Jacksonville. Jacksonville is a little bit tougher, but, um, someone that you could use if you need them, but again, you don't really need to plug anybody in because they're all playing.
[Amanda Black] (28:36 - 28:41)
I have a question. Yeah. So would you start Chimera DK or BTJ if you had to make that decision?
[Angela Sims] (28:42 - 29:23)
I, because he's been playing, he's been getting targets. I'd play DK. I would, I would play him over, over BTJ this week.
Um, at the running backs position, we have Pollard and we have Spears. It's a very tough rush defense run defense here. So both of them are sits.
If I had to lean against one, I would go Spears because of his past catching ability for sure. Um, one of my streaming options for the week would be Chico Conquo. If you really want to risk it for the biscuit cheeks and throw somebody in there who could have big playability Chico Conquo could be that the Jags are favorable against the tight end position.
And in this matchup, the Titans are going to need something. They get out of this one in 10 rut that they're in or whatever they're playing in. And then you're sitting the Tennessee defense.
[Amanda Black] (29:23 - 33:58)
Um, all right, moving on to my matchup. I have Houston versus Indianapolis cult. So Houston last week really showed us that their defense, they're that guy.
They are very, very good. I mean, they shut down the Buffalo bills and they beat the Buffalo bills, which wasn't on my bingo card. I was like in draft Kings making a bet.
And I almost took the money line on Houston because the payout was so good. And then they ended up like, I like wake up chronically at like two o'clock in the morning. Okay.
Typically drenched in my own sweat, because if you, fun fact, like actively going through peri-metaphosis 33 year old, like being a woman is fucking so much fun. Let me tell you. Nonetheless, in my 2 AM sweat, wake up.
Usually I look at my phone and I'm like, Oh, what happened when I was sleeping? I'm like, Houston won. Why didn't I risk it for the biscuit?
Right. It's fine. It's fine.
Nonetheless, Houston must starts Nico Collins. We are going to see CJ Stroup back, which is going to elevate that offense naturally a little bit. However, you do have to keep in mind, Nico Collins is facing a very difficult matchup.
Tape your expectations a little bit. You do have every starting wide receiver. So like if for some reason you have a stacked wide room and you can pivot from Nico, I don't hate it.
He's probably going to get the sauce gardener treatment now that he's with Indianapolis Colts. So like, I just worry a little bit about him. I don't think he's a sit, but he's definitely just a risky start situation.
Um, CJ does love Nico. They tend to connect really, really well. Um, you do are then dealing, obviously CJ, my opinion is a set.
I'm not interested. You have plenty of other quarterback options out there. There are two wide receivers from Houston that are like, if you got Kirk and you got Jaden Higgins, they're the only two I'm going to consider.
And if I had to risk it for the biscuit and start one, I would go Jaden Higgins ahead of Christian Kirk. Now we did watch Davis Mills connect quite well with Jaden Higgins. And when CJ was playing, Higgins got targeted like one to three times on average.
When Mills was playing, he got targeted six to eight times on average. Jaden Higgins has been playing well. So my anticipation would be that they get him involved a little bit because Nico's going to be so heavily covered.
They're going to scheme around their wide receivers. So I think you could very risky start Jaden Higgins if you wanted to. And that could also be the same option of like the DK, um, Jim Ray DK from the Tennessee Titans.
That could be an option. I might lean Higgins because I trust the quarterback more. Um, I also might lean like a risky Jaden Higgins over BTJ for a little bit more upside potentially.
So some options there for you. Woody Marks, in my opinion, he's a start like 70% of the work is what he's getting. He's getting so much of the work.
And basically the biggest issue is Houston Texans suck in the red zone. They're as trash in the red zone. And so because of that, it's taking value away.
If they could convert better in the red zone, they're one of the worst performing offenses in the red zone, by the way, if they could perform better in the red zone, you would be so all of us would be so happy with how a Woody Marx has been playing. So like, I think he's a start. Chubb is a full ass set.
Um, Schultz is a wonderful streaming tight end this week. I was a full set on Schultz last week because he was facing the hardest defense against the tight end this week. I'm calling him a streaming option and I would start Schultz over fan in over pity pits over guys like that.
The Houston defense, I don't love them as a start this week, but I don't want you to drop them. I want you to know that they have one of the best matchups for week 14, 15 and 16 week 15 and 16 are your first two weeks in the playoffs. So if you are the manager of the Houston Texans, two options, number one, just play them this week and hope it works out at least halfway decent and they don't give you no points.
Or if you can stash two defenses, keep them on your bench, pick up another streaming defense, stream them and then keep Houston four weeks, 14, 15 and 16 on the cold side of the football. I, in my opinion, your only true must start is Jonathan Taylor because he's that guy. I know he's coming off of a poor week, but you don't take him out of your lineup.
Okay. Um, Daniel Jones is a streaming option. I would still start him over Lawrence over to over darts.
I would sit him over Dax Stafford, Herbert Hertz, Alan May Jackson, all of your heavy hitters. This is just a hard matchup for Daniel Jones. I would probably consider bow necks ahead of Daniel Jones this week as well for some contacts.
The only wide receiver I'm going to feel confident playing is Pittman. Um, I don't really feel great about Pierce this week. We watched him struggle last week.
I would expect him to struggle again this week. Um, I would look at other options like Parker Washington or even Jaden Higgins ahead of Pierce. In my opinion, um, Tyler Warren, there's no in world where you're going to sit him.
Yes. It's going to be a hard matchup for him. I'm still starting Tyler Warren.
He's an integral part of offense. Right. I wouldn't rule out them as a defensive streaming start.
I think this would be a great option for like, if you wait and don't pick anybody up from the waivers and you wait till free agency. I think that the free, what do you love? Ange?
Free. Angela loves free shit. Okay.
She's my dad through and through, um, like dumpster diving free shit, like on trash day, but she's like, go look for some stuff for me. Like it's her vibe. Um, nonetheless, I think the Indianapolis Colts could be an oddly good streaming option from a defense as well this week.
[Angela Sims] (33:59 - 36:04)
Okay, cool. And it was funny because both of our husbands called us like pretty much at the same time. They don't know we're busy.
They're not busy. We are. Okay.
So going into new Orleans versus Miami on the new Orleans side, the really only startable player, keep hitting this damn table. The only startable player for me is Chris Alave. I feel pretty confident in him.
Like a must start. You're plugging them in pretty much every week. Now, Tyler shuck, you're sitting him.
There's no relevance there. Uh, really no other relevant wide receivers here. They, they got rid of some other pieces that were maybe what it made him a little bit better.
Now at running back, I think, and I'm pretty sure Alvin Kumar is going to be out for a couple of weeks. Um, we'll see how that goes. He old.
So who knows how long it'll take him to mend, but Devon, Neil would be a good start here for sure. So if you can grab him off of waivers, I know we record this on Tuesday. So waivers kind of process overnight into Wednesday.
So if you were able to snag Devon, great pickup for you. Um, you can put him into this play against Miami for sure at the tight end position. I'm going to sit Jawan Johnson.
I just don't see a lot of relevance from drawing Johnson. Like we saw in the beginning of the season, um, shucks just been inconsistent. We're starting to see Amanda's favorite taste.
Some Hill just started. He's a sniper sniper. He's a snipey.
He's a sniper. So he's kind of taking some relevance away. And then we're sitting in New Orleans, um, defense as well on the Miami side.
There are some more starts here. You're starting waddle. You're starting a Chan two as a very viable streamer, especially if you're in two quarterback league and they have a pretty juicy schedule coming forward.
So if you need somebody to grab that, you might be able to get off of waivers and, or free my favorite word, grab him, stash him, use him later for your playoff push. I don't even think Ollie Gordon's really worth mentioning all that much a chance. Just that guy, there's really no relevant tight end here on the Miami side with Darren Waller being out.
And then the defense could be a streamer against a week, new England or new Orleans offense for sure with their inconsistencies. So shucks prone to sacks, turnovers do the damn thing. Yeah.
[Amanda Black] (36:04 - 36:05)
Did you go over waddle?
[Angela Sims] (36:06 - 36:07)
Yeah. I said, what was the start?
[Amanda Black] (36:07 - 36:36)
Yeah. I was like, did we talk about waddle waddle or the waddly man? I was like, did I miss that?
I did. Okay, cool. Atlanta versus the New York jets at the jets.
Uh, Atlanta, pretty simple. You're starting Drake London as long as he's back. Obviously don't start it.
If he's not back, that'd be silly. Um, be John, be John mustard man himself. Go ahead and get him in your lineup.
Kirk cousins. No, thank you. Oh, she's wearing this interesting mustard.
Also, if you see it, it looks cute. She came. I like I'm out of the car and I was like, that is yellow from work.
[Angela Sims] (36:36 - 36:38)
Okay. And I got compliments all day.
[Amanda Black] (36:38 - 38:16)
What's more muted on the camera children. Yes, they were children. Don't lie though.
We'll be honest. They're ruthless motherfuckers. Okay.
Um, all right. So Kirk cousins is the full set. Mooney had a great game last week.
London was out. Okay. So keep that in mind.
I think Mooney's a sit this week in my personal opinion. Um, I would start Mooney over like your lower tier guys. So I would say I shouldn't say he's a cent.
He's probably a streaming wide receiver option. Okay. I would start like Mooney over Malik Washington.
He should even be rostered anymore. If you did have him, you can drop him. DJ Moore, Tyler Lockett.
I would start Mooney all ahead. Those guys, I would sit Mooney over though. Like I like Xavier worthy's matchup this week.
I would probably risk it on Xavier worthy, Shakir, Wandale, Sutton, Franklin. Um, so again, everyone's back this week. So it's situational.
I was here. In my opinion is always going to be a valid streaming start. If you're desperate for a running back, he's not going to goose egg you.
Um, on a great week, he's going to get you in the teens and on a midweek, he's going to get you five to eight points this week. I would try to sit him if you can, because be John's that guy and you don't need him, but you could use him in the future. Always pits.
Good Lord. He's had good matchup. This is why we call him pity motherfucking pits.
Okay. He stinks because he's had good matchup, good matchup, good matchup, good matchup. And then he just sucks.
So like, I'm trying to send him. If I can, I would sit him over guys like Schultz, Otten, Henry Gadsden. I think you can find a better option than petty pits with better upside.
You know what? Or Chica Conquo. Okay.
The jets are really easy. You start breeze hall and you sit everybody else. It's so sad.
Tyra Taylor, no wide receivers, no tight end mentionable. Mason Taylor sucks. Um, I'm not starting the defense cause they traded everyone away and yeah, that's, that's that.
All right.
[Angela Sims] (38:16 - 40:42)
Next up Arizona versus Tampa Bay, uh, on the Arizona side, you know, the, the bucks have a weak rush defense. They give the fourth most fantasy football point, but fancy football points to opposing quarterback. So Jacoby Brissett, check Mark, we're starting him.
Um, if Trey, Ben, what's his name? Oh, I'm so, Oh my God. I got it wrong.
I even put it in my notes. Not, I didn't, but I wanted to, I'm sorry. You're starting to call me the donk versatile.
I almost said Brisson. Okay. Anyways.
So dude, I'm so hungry. Okay. Brisket.
I think of brisket every time I say his name anyways. Um, and then Marvin Harrison should return. Hopefully this appendicitis gets mended, but Michael Wilson has been so relevant that I don't think you forget about Michael Wilson.
I think he's still very viable option in the offense. He's really connecting well with Brissett not to say that Marvin Harrison is not going to come back and also be like connect with Brissett because we saw it happen. Um, so monitor, you know, Harrison's return, I think he'll be fine to come back.
Um, he'll just be down one less Oregon, but no one needs that Oregon anyways. And then obviously you're starting Trey McBride. Um, and then as far as running back go, if Trey Benson's back, start him this week.
Um, if he's not, I think BAM night went out with injury two weeks. He didn't leave. Okay.
I thought maybe he was still facing some sort of injury. So Michael Carter could be spoken about, but Trey Benson comes back. That's what we've been waiting for.
They're going to put him in as well. So he's the guy there. Um, Arizona defense.
I don't really like this week either. I think there's better options on the Tampa Bay side. Bucky Irving's expected to return.
He should take a dominant role in the backfield, um, against the soft Cardinals run defense, but Sean Tucker's not going to be gone away. They're going to kind of split time there so that they kind of weaned Bucky back into that offense. Um, again, you're watching the status of Baker Mayfield by no means.
Are you going out to look for Teddy Bridgewater to replace him or whatsoever? Um, and then that with, if Mayfield is out, that really affects your wide receiver room. It affects Bucca.
It affects Godwin, it affects Tess Johnson. So that's something to look. No one's thinking, oh, Teddy Bridgewater is going to throw some dimes down the field, do a Bucca, right?
And Bucca has not been as fiery before. Now he was sick and everybody's down when they're sick, but, um, the Cardinals do have a week secondary. So they're all options.
They're not suitable guys, but just, I guess, wait to see what the quarterback situation is.
[Amanda Black] (40:42 - 41:27)
Yeah. Wait to see the quarterback situation. If I was going to take a shot on one guy, it would be a Bucca and that's it.
Like I'm trying to sit Tess. I'm trying to sit Godwin. Um, a lot of people ask, like, what do I do about a Bucca?
Like, you just have to wait and see. And also like, I would still give him a shot. My only question is like, you went right from Bucky to Sean Tucker.
What about Rashad White? Yeah. I forgot.
Yeah. I think like my, my biggest question I was, when I was doing my notes, I noticed that wasn't one of my games. So I was like, I wonder, I wonder what they're going to do if they're going to go Bucky, Sean White, or Bucky White, Sean, like, it'll be interesting to see.
So like at this point, when Bucky comes back, you're a little iffy on White or Tucker because we got to see the split first. So like you are trying to sit those guys in with no buys this week. That bodes well for you.
You want to see what they do before you decide, because who knows?
[Angela Sims] (41:27 - 41:44)
True, true. Sorry, but I totally forgot about Rashad White because he wasn't relevant and then he was relevant and then he's not relevant. Anyways, uh, moving in to the tight end position, Kate Alton is a sit for me this week.
He's especially irrelevant if Baker Mayfield is out for week 13, because that's kind of been his dude. And I'm sitting the Tampa Bay defense as well.
[Amanda Black] (41:44 - 42:12)
All right. Um, moving over to my matchup, which I scrolled down. So we got to scroll back on up here.
We have Rams versus the Carolina Panthers. So Rams are easy because, oh my gosh, Matt, old Matt Stafford is out here. He's like, he wants to get in the hall of fame.
He wants to get that MVP to be hall of fame relevant. And I love it. So Stafford, that beard a little bit.
I like it. I'm into it. I'm into the, the kind of like some gray in there.
I'm like the gray.
[Angela Sims] (42:12 - 42:13)
That's what I'm. Yes.
[Amanda Black] (42:13 - 43:22)
Well, I like it. So I think we said at the beginning of the year, but like, it's so goofy when you start to watch football at like we're 33, 34 and you watch football and you're like, look at like, I see Joe Flacco coming up. I'm like that little salt and pepper, you're looking too bad.
And I'm like, oh shit. That's how you know you're old because the players who are also old, you're like, he's hot. And the young bucks, you're like, you look like a big face.
I can't, I can't do all that. Um, nonetheless, Matt Stafford, Puka Nikua, Devante Adams, that duo, the Stafford Adams duo is insane. Kyra Williams are all mustards.
Okay. You're not going to sit any of them. Um, and then there's no tight end relevance for the Rams.
And I think the Rams could be a solid streaming defensive option this week against the Carolina Panthers because Bryce young is just fell off a cliff. Okay. And I always joke.
I'm like, I need an anvil to hit that player so that I don't get beat by him. And Bryce young had an anvil situation this week. Cause he looked rough.
Um, nonetheless, your only mustard on the Carolina side of the football is Ted McMillan and Rico Dowdell himself. Those are the only two guys you're going to consider. Bryce young is a full sit.
In my opinion, you have plenty of options upside of him. Chuba Hubbard is not getting enough work. He's a sit.
Um, and in my opinion, Sanders isn't getting enough work either for me to want to trust. And I don't trust Bryce young. So he's a sit as well.
[Angela Sims] (43:23 - 45:32)
Okay. All right. Now up to my next match up here, we got Minnesota versus Seattle.
The Seahawks are, are one of the best pass rushes. So I was going to put Aaron Jones as a start. Maybe rethink it a little bit.
I wouldn't say there's really anybody who's a must start for me on the Viking side of the ball because of the poor quarterback play because of the quarterback struggles. Max Brosmer is an undrafted rookie from up and be Mr. Irrelevant. I, I have, you know, like in my gut, that gut now, you know, it could totally be different, but he could be a he is bad because he's placed for Michigan.
Oh, I know that my husband said it makes me so happy to see him struggle. And then I thought about, Oh, I know why. I know why.
And that game's this weekend. Oh, I open. Okay.
I never do that either. Okay. Um, anyway, so we're sitting JJ McCarthy for sure.
Um, I thought I would never have to even talk about Justin Jefferson as anything, but a must start. You're still going to start Jeff, Justin Jefferson, because he's Justin Jefferson, but the quarter, the poor quarterback play is really, really hurting him. It's very, very bad.
And I could not even imagine how frustrated that dude is for sure. Now maybe Max Brosmer comes in and is like, Hey, that's the spark they needed. And they never, I bet those guys miss Carson Wentz so bad, so bad.
Uh, Jordan Addison is a sit. He got a big old goosy goose egg for you last week. Uh, again, with that, that possible, Oh, Oh, she's looking for it.
Nope. You're not going to find it. All right.
At the running back position, we got Aaron Jones, Jordan Mason, Jordan Mason's a full set. Aaron Jones is the guy that they are looking at for sure. He faces a tough Seahawks defense, um, for the run, right?
Aaron Jones could be on the border line. We kind of just had this debate. I say he's a sit.
I don't trust him in this offense, but he is also probably going to be relied on heavily with this quarterback. So if you're in a spot where you have him and you don't know what to do and you don't have really anybody better options, then go with them.
[Amanda Black] (45:33 - 45:47)
Um, still like getting all the work. So like, think about this. And like, if I was going to think Aaron Jones or Kenneth Gainwell, I'm going to go Aaron Jones because he's getting the work.
Also like the short checktown passes that this potential, like undrafted man might need to utilize. I don't mind it this week, in my opinion. Yeah, true.
[Angela Sims] (45:47 - 47:16)
And those short passes goes into TJ Hawkinson, who I'm going to say is a start this week because of the short passes. And I'm really relying on that. It's a spicy, I should have picked that as my spicy, spicy.
Um, and I'm saying that because if Brosmer, which I don't see JJ passing the concussion protocol. I also think that they're going to use it as a ruse to keep him out a week, just kind of like they did the Kyler Murray. Maybe they start weaning him out of the offense and putting the better guy in.
Maybe we don't know. Um, so I'm going to say start TJ Hawkinson this week because it could be a good security blanket situation. And I'm sitting in the defense on the Seattle side.
You're must start JSN. I mean, he is just that freaking dude. He is just on fire and not stopping at all.
Um, Kenneth Walker is also a start for me this week because of kind of a weak Vikings rush defense, the ranking 21st in the rush defense. So it could be a really possible high game could be a touchdown as well. And then, like I said, Jason's a no brainer.
You also can start the defense and special teams for the Seahawks this week because of that very weak Minnesota offense, um, guys to start or guys to talk about as well. Could be Sam Darnold could be a really good stream this week as well. If you need a quarterback, if you have him and you're debating on playing him, I don't see why that's a problem.
I know he had some bum weeks. He kind of came back from the dead a little bit. Um, I don't mind starting him.
I think that with the weapons that he has, he's a guy that you can look at confidently.
[Amanda Black] (47:17 - 47:29)
Yeah. It just depends. I mean, every quarterback can play.
So like, it just depends, right? Like I'm not going to start Sam Darnold over Jordan Love or Dak Prescott or Herbert or Stafford or any of those big names. But if you were desperate for a quarterback, he wouldn't suck.
[Angela Sims] (47:29 - 48:34)
Right. And then going into other wide receivers, we're really Rasheed Shaheed has just not been relevant. And look at, I wrote Shaheed Shaheed Shaheed Shaheed.
And I didn't read it like that. Oh, I already did. All right.
Um, he just hasn't done anything. He's not meshing into this offense very well. Jason's the guy you're sitting Rasheed Shaheed.
You're not thinking about him. And Zach Charbonnet could also be a start this week because of that week defense, because of his goal line work, his touchdown relevance, relevance. He's, you know, seeing some snap share, you know, sharing still with Walker, even though, um, I think what Kevin McConnell, who's the coach?
No, the other side. Now I'm thinking of the whatever. Okay.
The coach came out and said, Hey, he's not sexy enough. We don't know. Okay.
So, um, came out and said, you know, Kenneth Walker earned his keep. We're going to play him more. So that gives me a little bit more, um, confidence in Kenneth Walker over Charbonnet, but Charbonnet is a good play.
And then AJ Bonner at the tight end position, you know, you're, you're setting him just really nothing relevant there. And then you can give the Seattle Seahawks defense a start. Like I said.
[Amanda Black] (48:35 - 50:55)
All right. Moving into Buffalo bills versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. Um, Buffalo bills is easy.
Josh Allen. It's as simple as start Josh Allen. I know he had a bad week last week.
Don't put him on your bed. He scored like 40 some points the week before that. He's the only quarterback that has that type of potential.
Josh Allen, James Cook, which is single-handedly keeping the bills offense alive and well is a start. I also like Shakir this week. Um, I ended up having to put him in my lineup last week.
Also. I love playing guys on Thursday night when I just want some cheering interest. I'm like, fuck it.
Let's put Shakira in 17 points. Me either. I looked and I was like, Oh, I'm pleasantly surprised.
He scored more than Josh Allen. And the other guy was playing against player. And I was like, I beat Josh Allen for the record on his 44 point week against you and his 10 point week.
So Josh Allen was fucking scared of me. I know that's it. He can, I was literally like lifting the next day and I was like, bitch is scared of me, right?
No. Okay. The shit that goes through my head.
Okay. Whatever works. I also think Shakira is a start.
The Pittsburgh's loves to give up a lot of, um, points in their secondary. So they're weak in the secondary. I think Shakira would be a great start this week as well.
Other than that, like there really isn't too much relevance. If Kincaid were to play, I would play Kincaid. It's the best matchup for the tight end position, but I'm not going to play Dawson Knox.
I think there's better options out there. Um, and then if for some reason, um, Mason Rudolph Rudolph, the red nose reindeer does play, then the bill's defense might be an option. I'm not going to play him against Aaron Rogers because he's safer.
Mason's risky and he can throw some interception. So I might consider that if he plays Pittsburgh, it's a different story. There's just not a ton here.
Like there's a lot of conversation. So like you're sitting both the quarterbacks. In my opinion, you're just going to risk it on DK.
At least he got in the fucking end zone. I think you have more upside with DK. If Mason plays, I think you're going to be happier with DK's production.
If Mason plays, I think you're going to be sad or when Aaron plays, but we'll see what happens this week. We just don't know what's happening, but I find it hard to sit DK. In my opinion.
Um, I think both Warren and gain well can be started. The bills are weak against the running back position. So both of them have good matchups this week.
Um, I think you can play both of them. They are sharing about 50, 50 right now. Previous.
It was like 60, 40, 70, 30 gain wells looked good. And I assume that they're going to try to keep both guys healthy and give them both opportunities. So I think both could start.
I would favor Warren over gain well, in my opinion, but I think both could be a go. And I would start gain well over Algier, Chuba, Tutin, guys like that. Um, there's no tight end relevance cause there's too many of them.
So that that's, that's that.
[Angela Sims] (50:55 - 52:21)
Okay. All right. Moving into Las Vegas and the chargers.
So on the Las Vegas side, Brock Bowers is the only relevant player that you are going to start in this offense. And even though he has a really booty hole quarterback, he is still making it work. We don't, I want to see the 40 point Brock Bowers come back.
So I'm going to speak that into existence, but so you're sitting Gino Smith, um, any wide receivers against the chargers. You're and then you're sitting, there's really no, really any other relevant player there. Oh, oh, Ashton Gentee.
Oh my gosh. Now he did have an ankle injury. So you're watching him.
So Raheem Mostert could be someone that you kind of take a look at if you want to grab them off waivers or if you already did. If Ashton Gentee is healthy, put him in. He's a start as well.
Um, just monitor his progress. And then you're sitting the defense as well on the charger side is a little bit of a different story. Um, you can start Justin Herbert.
Um, and I almost said Matthew Herbert because I get them mixed up. It's a younger and older version of each other. Um, in my opinion.
Okay. You're starting McConkey. You can start the defense and special teams.
They are really a must stream this week against that D uh, Raiders off that D offense. All right. Add wide receiver, Quentin Johnson and Keenan Allen are, are options for you.
It's really just a, let me just throw it into the bucket and which one comes out. Um, I'm gonna trust a Keenan Allen this week. I'm just going to go with it.
I'm gonna trust the Keenan Allen this weekend.
[Amanda Black] (52:22 - 52:22)
Okay.
[Angela Sims] (52:22 - 52:31)
So we're divided the house divided here. Um, and then as far as running back goes, I kind of watching on the return of Amari and Hampton. I don't think it's going to be in week 13.
[Amanda Black] (52:31 - 52:36)
They just cleared him for practice this week. So I maybe, but I would assume week 14. You might be lucky.
[Angela Sims] (52:36 - 52:56)
I think as you go into that really deep playoff push and into the actual playoffs, you're going to see Hampton back. Yes, I have him. I need him.
Um, so come on even out here could be a start for me. He's kind of been a reliable guy. I don't have a problem with that.
And then a Rhonda Gaston start him as well. He's been really solid. He's been like a wide receiver and you're starting that defense just like I mentioned.
[Amanda Black] (52:56 - 55:43)
I love it. All right. My last message matchup of the week.
And they're both coming off by the Denver Broncos and the Washington commanders. Um, so Denver is a little bit easy. Well, I shouldn't say that Denver, you're going to start the Denver defense fire that shit up, baby.
They're really good. Um, I think Bo Nix is a streaming quarterback this week, a valid option to throw in your lineup. I would start Bo Nix over Jared golf.
I would actually start Bo Nix potentially over Jacoby Bursette as well. I would start him over Caleb Williams and also Daniel Jones this week. Um, both wide receivers Sutton and Franklin.
I know Franklin has kind of slipped in and been showing us far more targets than Sutton has. Both of them are starts this week. This is a great matchup for them.
Very weak. The Washington commanders are very weak against the wide receiver. I love both of them.
I would lock them both in your lineup. Confidently. I think they're going to both equally have great games again with RJ Harvey to me.
He's a start this week. JK Dobbins is on IR. He's going to get the bulk of the work and I'd be starting RJ Harvey over a breeze hall.
Gainwell Monty BAM night, all of those fringe guys, any of the Washington commanders running backs, right? I'm going to take the upside of how much work RJ Harvey is going to get Ingram. In my opinion, there's better streaming options out there.
Everyone's playing this week. He's just not getting enough of the work in my opinion. And then I already said it, but the defense is a great streaming option.
The commanders on the other hand, they're just in shambles. Now we don't know if Daniels was coming back or not this week. He might end up after that injury.
I can't believe that it was disgusting. So like, I don't love that. Like, I don't know what's going to happen.
They're just, they're not doing great. So I don't love any of it. They're also facing one of the hardest defenses in the league against the Denver Broncos.
I'm trying to sit Debo Samuels. If you I would start a Jawan Jennings, a DJ Moore. I would even like risk it for the biscuit on like a Jaden Higgins.
I'm trying to get Debo Samuels on my bench. And like, I would start like Watson, DK, Sutton, Franklin, all ahead of Debo Samuels as well. McLaurin, like there's rumblings that he might be coming back to.
Just keep your eye on it. I don't have any advice on that. If for some reason it doesn't end up coming back and you need advice, obviously comment, ask the questions.
That's what we're here for. Chris Rodriguez and JCM. JCM is a full set.
Like we're done with Bill. He's a set for me. Chris Rodriguez would be the only like fringe possibility.
If I was desperate for a running back and I needed an option, he's been involved enough for me not to hate my life when I play him. He does get involved in the past game as well. Zach Gertz is a possible stream.
Jaden Daniels loves his tight end. So like that feels better for me. If Jaden Daniels is back, he would be a tight end.
I would start over like Loveland, Ingram, and Mason Taylor, but I would sit him over Theo Johnson and Dalton Schultz, guys like that. And then the defense for the commanders, absolutely freaking not. And that's my last game of the week.
Let's do it. Last game, Ange. All right.
Last game, Monday night here.
[Angela Sims] (55:43 - 57:29)
We got New York Giants versus New England. There was a lot of news there. On the Giant side, Jackson Dart should be back.
His rushing ability makes him a must start here in this matchup for sure. Other guys, I think Wanda Robinson at this point is a must start. He's carved his way into this offense.
Even with Jamis out and in with Dart, he's still going to be a player. He's a short pass receiver. Dart's going to target him more.
He's going to be a good guy here. On the running backs, Tyrone Tracy, I don't like him. The Patriots defense is very, very good against the running back position.
Tyrone Tracy, I just don't really like him. Yes, he's the main back, but there are better guys out there if you have on your bench or on your roster to play over him. Then Theo Johnson is another start.
He's a really good guy for Jackson Dart for sure as a receiver in a tight end position. I think the only other guy I didn't mention was Darius Slater. And Singletary, yes.
I get those two guys mixed up. There's a lot of people that I get mixed up apparently. I would watch them.
I don't like them as starts this week. I like Wanda as the start on this offense. And then the defense, I'm not going to play either for the New York Giants.
Going in to the Patriots side, I thought I just got the teams mixed up, but I didn't. You were starting Drake May. You were starting Remondo Stevenson if he's in the mix again, which he will be because Daddy Rable does not like just one running back.
[Amanda Black] (57:29 - 57:31)
What did you notice? I don't know.
[Angela Sims] (57:31 - 58:18)
You'd have to look that up. And I'm definitely starting Travion Henderson. And then you're starting Stefan Diggs as well because Stefan Diggs is the guy.
He didn't put up great points last week. Moving into other wide receivers, Keishon Booty would be the only guy I'd probably trust other than Diggs in that wide receiver room for New England. Really the only other relevant guy there.
All of them else are kind of hit or miss. The Giants are vulnerable to the deep ball. Keishon Booty is good against the deep ball.
I think that's a guy to go with. And I'm sitting Hunter this week. He was a great play last week.
I don't feel confident in him. The Giants are usually and generally solid against the tight end position. So I think this will be kind of one of his dip weeks.
And then maybe he goes back up and dips back down. And I am not really thinking about because there's better options out there with everybody playing the Patriots defense. Yeah.
[Amanda Black] (58:18 - 58:55)
For the record, Remondo Stevenson did only see 30% of the snap count. Now, maybe Daddy Rable is like, well, he's healthy. So I'll give him more, but hopefully freaking not.
Because in my opinion, like Henderson should be the clear star and Stevenson should just be the set. Like that should just be how it goes. All right, friends.
Well, let's wrap it up with your favorite segment. Our mother is calling us. She called me already.
I swiped it. We're recording. We're recording.
Okay. Nonetheless, let's wrap with our sweet and spicy starts of the week. I'm going to go with my sweet start of the week, which is my boy, Josh Allen.
If you got him, flaunt him, start him. Don't question it.
[Angela Sims] (58:55 - 59:07)
Hell yes. My sweet start of the week is Troy Franklin leads Denver and targets. I know Amanda Sutton's also a really good start here.
I like Troy Franklin better. I get real excited when Troy Franklin gets the ball. I love it.
[Amanda Black] (59:07 - 59:28)
He's just like kind of cute. He's just like little. I like him.
Okay. All right. My spicy start of the week is Xavier Worthy facing a kind of booty hole Dallas defense.
They let up a lot of points. I think both Xavier Worthy and Rasheed Rice like Rasheed Rice is that guy he's going to be relevant, but I think Xavier Worthy is going to get himself involved, get some deep pass action going. I don't hate that for a start of the week.
It's spicy as shit, but I, you know, I like a little spicy. Okay.
[Angela Sims] (59:28 - 59:56)
I like even spicier. Not really because I die if I eat like a jalapeno pepper, but I'm sorry, pepper, my scale, Angela scale, pepper. I don't know what else.
Okay. Anyways, Chicken Conqua is my spicy start of the week. Yes, he is on a poor ass offense and they are kind of facing a defense that I think could give him the opportunity.
If the Titans need somebody to look for it, this is the guy they're looking for. Chicken Conqua, my spicy start.
[Amanda Black] (59:57 - 1:00:15)
Well, I love it friends. That's another week of NFL fantasy football with some weird game times and great holiday games. Listen, there's nothing better than when everything's messy and the family's around, you can sit down and watch a little football and tune on all the noise.
Okay. So enjoy your Thursday. It's a true rot day.
[Angela Sims] (1:00:15 - 1:00:21)
You eat the shit out of some Thanksgiving turkey dinner, ending rotten football, rot baby.
[Amanda Black] (1:00:21 - 1:00:53)
And for the record, I don't have to cook shit for Thanksgiving. And that girl is cooking all of it for me. I just get to show up for this event, which is just a lovely, nonetheless, guys have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.
And if we don't say it enough, we are so damn thankful for all of you. We're having so much damn fun with all of this. I'm super thankful for this girl right here to be able to be with her and to film and to do this in person is so much fun.
So have a great week 13. We're sending you all of the good vibes and we are running into the playoffs. So buckle in, get ready.
