Matthew Berry’s top QB, RB, WR, TE waiver adds for Week 12 | Fantasy Football Happy Hour (FULL SHOW)

Garoppolo under Center offset eye behind him here's the snap play fake Garoppolo has been a wide open left sideline to the 25 down to the 20. 15 to the 10. touchdown George [Applause] [Music] fantasy football happy hour with Matthew Berry served by Applebee's that was one of two touchdowns that George Kittle had last night on his way to a huge Fantasy game and more importantly also covering his prop line in terms of receiving yards which I may or may not have said yesterday I did don't mention m

y Matt Prater over one and a half field goals it is Five O'Clock Somewhere my friends but it is noon on Tuesday on peacock he's Jay Croucher I'm Matthew Berry welcome to the happy hour and what a game we had last night yeah it was okay it was fun it was a great game yeah if you had if you had George cattle if you had Debo Sam you had Christian McCaffrey so if you had Brandon ayuk if you had Jimmy Garoppolo Greg Deutsch if you had the human door DeAndre Hopkins hit his over on the receptions and

the receiving yards in the first half um Colt McCoy um was Colt mccoyish it was a tough bounce back from Colt McCoy after the viral video of him entering the uh the stadium After Jimmy Garoppolo did you never want to follow Jimmy Garoppolo in any a Walk of Life no Jimmy J suddenly the hugely fantasy relevant Jimmy Garoppolo the hugely fantasy relevant maybe those cheerleaders were on to something he went off yeah but I think the big story football wise is the San Francisco 49ers they cover the 1

0 going away they cover it by 18 points winning 38 to 10 and now if we take a look at bet MGM our friends and how they price the NFC Championship Market the Niners are now second favorite to win the NFC behind the Philadelphia Eagles narrowly in front of the Dallas Cowboys after that massive win over the Vikings the Vikings are eight and two and can't even crack the top four in favoritism and right now uh just in terms of how the betting Market rates these teams if the Niners were to play any ot

her team in the NFC on a neutral field the Niners would be favored the betting market now treats the Niners as the best team in the NFC the reason they're not favored is because Philadelphia have a huge head start on them to get the one seed which is pretty important but the Niners right now third best team in football according to bet you know what screw you MGM Batman I'm gonna tell you why the fact that the commanders are plus four thousand you're giving us worse odds than the Giants I get th

e Giants have a better record but whatever yeah well come on uh what I'm like you know you see the Vikings there we didn't lose 40 to three no lose four anyway I you know whatever you know we're gonna take command yeah that's what we'll do let's talk fantasy football and up betting now let's get into the fantasy football aspects of this game and I think there were a lot yeah let's start with George Kittle sure you know like I think my um my bold prediction on a fantasy football pregame was that

he would finish the week as the number one Titan fantasy what are you gonna do with Travis Kelsey he finishes the Titan too you're not upset about this um he had he's had at least 80 receiving yards in three of the last five games feels like this is the George Kittle we all drafted yes the guys back from a couple of years ago he was a monster last night the thing is he just he looks like George Kittle out there and now he's getting the statistical production to back it up I think it was definite

ly some concerns of how he started the season he was banged up last year outside of a couple of massive games he wasn't really the same guy either but yeah locked in going forward I mean Travis Kelsey's number one and then it's Kittle and Mark Andrews for number two and then it's a drop-off to the rest of the world yeah you know what and my concern here is as you see there like oh that's a business decision right there as you see you see like he's not he's not even trying to uh make a tackle the

re on George Kittle I think the concern here though that he is more you know he's touched on the pendant I mean like even in a game in which he had a 21 Target chair which is His Highest since week six he still only had four receptions now again he had the big long touchdown on the broken play that his first touchdown as well um as you see it there screen 24.4 fantasy points um but again he's still not getting massive volume but almost every Titan is touched independent he's got a better shot th

an most most especially given away the Niners are playing um so we like George Kittle that's great but I just I just want to point that out that it feels like he is I think he's more touchdown dependent than you might think at first glance he's not going to get the same amount of touches because of the presence now of Sam say Debo Brandon I uke Elijah Mitchell as well and we'll talk about him but I do think that right now like this team is ridiculous on offense with the amount of talent they hav

e and I just think of like it's not a Perfect Analogy but I think like the Kevin Durant Warriors and how space the floor was this field is so spaced right now he only might need four receptions a week to deliver significant fantasy value uh they're out of their mind they're the best six and four team I can remember that that is factually correct there I mean obviously because the commanders are six and five um so I accept your statement I will say that the you know they play the Saints next week

who are really good against tight end so it'll be it'll be really interesting the strength against strength here let's talk about Brandon iuk now um boy you know what find somebody that looks at you the way that Jimmy Garoppolo looks at Brandon IU yeah particularly in the red zone and that solely really nades at the moment he only has uh two receptions last night for 20 yards he gets the two touchdowns last year iuk was by far Jimmy's favorite Target in the red zone and it's the same thing this

year as well so even though he's not going to get the volume he might be the go gets a little bit squeezed out by just all the mon stars on this team but he's going to get the touchdowns and that's going to make him a starter every week he's now got five touchdowns in his last five weeks again two for 20. to your point about the volume he's another one guy that feels a little bit um touched independent but the prior to this past week he'd had at least 80 receiving yards in four straight games w

ould you rather have like kind of this is going to sound insane but go with me for a second would you rather have rest of the season would you rather have at cost and I'll explain what that means in a second Brandon iuk or Debo Samo meaning that like if if both guys were available in a fantasy league I think it would be easier to trade for iuk and quote unquote cheaper to trade for ayuk than it would be Debo Samuel so if you were trading a you know a a viable asset and I'm making it up here but

like Damien Pierce sure so if you're trading Damien Damien Pierce for Debo Samuel probably straight up that's probably a you know reasonably fair trade right but would you rather that or would you rather say Damien Pierce for Brandon IU plus a a throw in usable running back I think relative to perception if there was like an A Day pay for right now going forward I think Brandon are you because the guy that you want Debo it just hasn't he's just not being the same guy it's not working with the sc

reen game this year in San Francisco he did get three carries last night for 37 on the touchdown so that's good if you have Debo on your roster but I think that Brandon are you just this touchdown Equity each week might give him a higher floor relative to perception than Debo nine targets last night for Debo 7 for 57 you mentioned the 39-yard touchdown run as well he did get three carries there so maybe hopefully we see that um we see that going forward but it does feel a little bit like that th

ere's it sounds insane to say there's too many mouths to feed because they all ate last night but they're not always going to play Arizona yep I think in Mexico by the way here's their upcoming schedule Saints Dolphins Buccaneers at Seattle so I mean again like no one that you're like oh I gotta bench anyone but none of those teams are like where you're like oh well it's it's going to be as easy as it was against the Cardinals yep I think that it's becoming clearer now that Dave are Samuel is th

e most got he's the guy most likely to suffer from Christian McCaffrey's arrival just in terms of his volume and that makes sense because his role is the one that most replicates Christian McCaffrey's in terms of you know the screen passes the occasional runs like McCaffrey's going to get that off of the versatility right but uh let's talk to the talk about the guy who's giving these guys the ball feeding them the great Jimmy Garoppolo who had a great last night last night from the moment where

he walked in the building looking like Ryan Gosling and Crazy Stupid Love yeah and then he put up some crazy stupid stats four touchdowns for Jimmy 20 or 29 only 228 yards but when you're getting the yeah well when you're you're throwing like five yards and they're running the rest of the way look at look at Ryan Gosling and Steve Carell there you go but honestly those New Balance sneakers on Colt McCoy pretty much I think pretty much that's exactly what we're doing like even uh let's listen Jim

my G if you're single yeah holler at a guy incredibly handsome man the season I mean literally even I'm just like you know damn okay uncomfortable I get it yeah don't be don't be uncomfortable asking it yeah um you know what first off I'm just going to say this because it's good for Jimmy Garoppolo right I know but in all seriousness like all off season this is gonna be Trey Lance's team we want to trade you no one wants you we're not going to get you know and and like by the way I mean like the

Niners are going to succeed despite John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan because it was up to them Garoppolo wouldn't be on the team right now yes I think certainly like they I mean they lucked into this yep certainly with this group like with the amount of weapons they have you don't need the variance of Tri Lance like just what Jimmy J gives you in terms of as a passer as a high floor guy it's exactly what they need I think going forward he doesn't even need to be that good he just needs to throw lit

tle slant routes and Screen pauses and he's going to be fantasy viable he's going to get a lot of touchdowns yeah by the way he's not that good like just from a pure he's not like from a pure NFL standpoint he's fine yeah you know what I mean like I think Derek Carr could probably be doing this in this offense right I would argue Colt McCoy could have done I I argue that if you switch those guys last night like Jimmy's so handsome though he is very handsome but I'm just saying like you're tellin

g me you're telling me you can't like here's the thing it's a great offensive line uh they're they're running the ball really really well it's a good it's a good scheme Shanahan's a good play caller and so because the versatility of Debo uh and Chris McCaffrey the the the speed of ayuke and deboned CMC you know you know Kittle being you know the the Beast that he is and they're getting good production out of Elijah Mitchell as well like it just all you have to do is just like run the offense and

not turn the ball over and that's what Garoppolo can do for our purposes here in fantasy football the question is is he a viable guy like could you roll with Jimmy Garoppolo as your qb1 the rest of the way I'm not there yet I still think he's a match-up based streamer for me you know but given the weapons and as we just mentioned the schedule Saints Dolphins Buccaneers at Seattle like I I think he's going to be a top 15 guy for me every single week the rest of the way Tom Brady or Jimmy Garoppo

lo fantasy wise rest of the way are you talking I think it's very very close yeah why do you get more yards Garoppolo more touchdowns yeah probably I'm still gonna go with Brady there but the fact that it's a conversation sure should tell you everything you need to know and so we'll talk about that I in terms of Elijah Mitchell uh you know since since returning he's played 38 snaps he's gotten 27 touches when he's in there they're giving him the ball um uh you know in terms of in in terms of Mit

chell the problem with him is that you know again he still backseat to uh Chris McCaffrey he doesn't really have a lot of passing game usage here he got more carries uh he's gotten more carries than Chris McCaffrey each the last two weeks you see it there on your screen uh that that's basically almost three to one Chris McCaffrey Elijah Mitchell in terms of offensive snaps played but Mitchell has more rushing attempts and more rushing yards the difference of course is 11-1 in terms of the receiv

ing game for McCaffrey to Mitchell and you know 106 to minus one in terms of receiving yards CMC to Elijah Mitchell Elijah Mitchell to me is a is a hope for a touchdown Flex as long as CMC is healthy but he's an important person to have on a roster especially if you have Christian McCaffrey yeah I think if you just look at the bulk score it is misleading last night that Elijah Mitchell had nine carries the same say seven like no when the game was in balance in the first off it was Sam say pretty

much all the time and also he was getting seven receptions for 67 yards too so I think Elijah Mitchell the good thing is if you have a larger Mitchell nine is going to be blowing a lot of teams out he's going to be getting that second half work in blowouts but let's go to Arizona uh one of the big stories of the game was the return of the human Deutsch Greg Deutsch has a massive game he goes nine for 103 doesn't get into the end zone but holds in a 47-yarder and if Rondell Moore is going to mis

s some time we'll see what happens with Marquis brown maybe a little little value for uh yeah the human torch look again like they like this role this kind of you know these bubble screens especially by the way there's there's uh there's rumors out there that uh Kyler Murray who did not play last night is not going to play next week against the Chargers and then they have a buy and then he might not return until the following week when they're home to the Patriots so if you get another week out

of Colt McCoy again not the strongest arm and they he likes whether it's rondelle Moore or Greg George the human dorch likes those those bubble screens the behind the screens behind the line of scrimmage stuff the the middle of the field the the slot stuff especially given the fact that no Zach ertz by the way Rondo Moore we expect to run Ronda Moore to have a big game he he should have had the game that Dortch did I had more as a top 15 play this week again because I thought hey copacoy is goin

g to be there and you just see it here this is something I retweeted here from Alfredo Brown at the pretend GM he tweeted out a a direct message that somebody sent to him hey ugly question I'm up by less than a point I have Rhonda Moore starting his team has done scoring should I bench or stardom and uh Alfredo said I know it's late but you got to start I'm more likely to have a point recalculation than have him score negative points so hey go ahead and start Rondell Moore and then what happened

of course as we go to the next screen here sorry for negative six yards one carry for negative six yards the guy ends up losing I tweeted out another one here's here's another bad beat from at Rick Austin who says you know guy in his League needed Rondo Moore to get two yards for the win oh that's the only way just literally two yards like just point two fantasy points didn't need two points they did literally two yards to get the win he gets minus 0.6 yards and he ends up losing 81.2 to 80.5 I

think this is the fantasy moment of the Year this is the Brian Westbrook moment this is uh this is a I mean like it's like Monday night Miracle I'm up by .7 and I'm done my opponent has Rondo Moore yes you know help me out right you know or even like whatever I'm uh I'm losing by point four and I'm done and my opponent has rondelle Moore yeah the guy starts from 0.6 and takes uh takes Victory out of his hands I don't like to call out producer Steven diogustato actually I kind of do so I'm going

to we had uh uh he had Kyla Murray going up against me and Carlow was obviously in some doubt and then yesterday morning Colt McCoy he's still on the way for the wire so I just picked him up and uh it's always a lesson if you have a guy particularly in uh the Monday night or the Sunday night game who is uh a game time decision pick up his backup please listen sitting there that is like that's a mean move and like but a completely uh I have no issue with that I have many issues with all of your

actions but that one I am fully on board with Jay Croucher exactly Sometimes the best offense is a good defense yes and he's out there in the waiver wire I have no problem with just picking him up in session reaction hey sorry Stephen should have been paying attention don't fall asleep at the wheel yep Championship level defense that Brooke Lopez move there let's go one last thing I just want to point out about Greg dorch and so again follow the news on Rhonda Moore but in four games this season

where Rondo Moore did not play 18 Target chair over seven receptions a game over 75 yards a game this offense especially without Zach ertz you know can support you know a slot he's like more of a PPR play and again to your point Marquis Brown wasn't there but still uh we like the Human Torch he's a viable guy the human Deutsch we also like run about headlines sure coming up now and to start off let's hear from Matt ebafluce on Justin fields's injury obviously you guys know the injury report com

es out Wednesday and right now it's day to day we'll see where he is on Wednesday so we got time and we'll see where it is and go from there um we have not ruled that out at this point we'll see where it is on Wednesday all right I guess we'll see where it is on Wednesday I guess we're going to see where it is on Wednesday it's one of these super weird things where he literally could play Sunday or he could be out for the year I feel like shoulder dislocations have the highest variance of any in

jury like the other night for the Mavs Spencer Dinwiddie his shoulder just popped out yeah I popped it back in I'm fine I'm Gonna Keep playing although now the fields might be out for the season I'm sure there's a medical explanation but uh as we talked about yesterday I think it's a problem that Justin Fields has played so well because now they probably feel like they've got the guy don't need to see him the rest of the year maybe they just put him in Cotton wool but we'll see on Wednesday we'l

l see pro football talk reporting uh that Justin feels injury is not a dislocation it's not on his throwing shoulder as well there was also reported that he had hamstring tightness after the loss of the Falcons so obviously that's concerning giving how much he runs so what I would say here is is that if you have been riding Justin Fields this whole time hope for the best we'll see what happens on Wednesday but as you head into your waivers tonight make sure you have a quarterback for this week a

nd I would try to look yeah we'll talk about quarterbacks coming up in a little bit here but I would not want to risk it like there's there's enough enough smoke around the fire that you feel like there's there's a decent chance that Fields misses sometimes here yes don't go into next week with Justin Fields as the only quarterback don't do a Stephen D augustino correct uh a quarterback you might not want to pick up though is Zach Wilson and let's hear from Robert Sala on Zach Wilson just been d

ealing with so many different things right now the um uh I'm gonna get to the tape and just evaluate everything and uh I'll leave it at that we're keeping everything on the table over the next couple of days so you're so you're not committing to Zach as your starter for Sunday not right now not until I'm done evaluating everything everything needs to be evaluated it's just when you when you put up 100 yards of offense I don't care how good New England is and they are good um it's unacceptable th

at's not NFL football and uh so everything is just being talked about how can we be better how can we be better be better as coaches how can we call the game better how can we game plan better how can we execute better how how can we change practice um so yeah the quarterback is part of uh a pile of stuff that's being talked about I gotta say as a New York Jets fan I love Robert Sala that's so good sure get what get Zach out well by the way still had more fantasy points than Kirk Cousins or Bake

r Mayfield you know whatever we almost had more points than those guys actually correct Jay I um I feel bad for Zach I mean you know whatever I make I make a ton of like mom jokes but you don't feel bad before you know he's a young kid it's what are you gonna do I think he'll be fine well he's certainly Rich he's certainly rich and uh the apple of many mom's eyes what I will tell you though is I this is fantasy relevant for this reason and this reason only because no one's starting Zach Wilson a

nother team no but if they do make a switch here and they go to like say for example Joe Flacco Carol Wilson song Garrett Wilson time Elijah Moore maybe out of the doghouse as well like you know just suddenly in the it's all small sample size but in the non-wilson starts this year when Jack Wilson was out and the games in which Zach Wilson did not start this year Jets averaged 51 pass attempts per game over 300 passing yards per game this year and when games in which Zach Wilson had started they

're averaging just 27 past attempts a game and 182 passing yards per game like they've gone much more run heavy much more hide the quarterback than they have with Joe Flacco who is you know a professional quarterback yeah and at least with Flacco there's the scope where he aired it out against Cleveland and yeah back in what week two so in terms of like the betting market like right now Zach Wilson of all the starting quarterbacks in the league he's rated as the worst in terms of how he affects

the line it's not like Mike White or Joe Flacco are huge upgrades but I think they are upgrades on Zach Wilson absolutely yeah I certainly think for the offense of the the offensive players on the Jets that you care about certainly you would you're rooting for Joe Flacco we'll see what happens there they play Chicago at home this week then they're at Minnesota at Buffalo boy and home to Detroit so there's a couple of games in there that you feel good about the you know the Home Chicago doesn't r

eally scare you defensively um neither does Minnesota no honestly honestly other than the game at Buffalo which you know that'll be in December uh you like their schedule and home to Detroit as well so we'll see how that happens and uh I I don't want to you never root for injury no you never root for injury um and so I I feel terrible about this but we got some news about Kyle Pitts yesterday yes looks like he has a torn MCL and he's going on IR so for Fantasy purposes I assume that's just meant

you're cutting him everywhere in right draft leagues so he will not play this weekend my question to you Jay crouchers will you be able to tell you Bang there you go that's a low blow Matthew that's like he took out his MCL again it's not already none of this that's not a low blow Kyle Pitts that is a low blow at Arthur Smith I want to be very clear who are assassinating yeah yeah a thousand percent I feel terrible for Kyle Pitts it's a bad injury he's an insanely talented player who's been com

pletely misused in this offense all year long and so I feel awful for him and I we we here at the happy hour and I know I speak for everyone at NBC Sports when we say please come back stronger we are not we're not celebrating your injury we're not um we're not happy about it we feel terrible for the young man what I will say though is on a show where we're evaluating players from a fantasy football perspective he has been a disappointment this year and um I am I want to be very careful about how

I couch this I am happy in this one sense again I'm not rooting for a guy's injuries right but I am happy about the fact that I no longer have to decide do I start Kyle Pitts or not yes because it's been brutal every single week where you're just like doing started or not I don't want to start them because the production is awful and all they do is run the ball and Mario Oda is brutal but we know Kyle Pitts is so awesome and like Titan Is A Wasteland and like all he really needs is one play and

we know the talent on the upside and am I gonna just beat myself up if he's on my bench and he goes off and like every week every week I have that struggle every week I'm not alone in that struggle every week fantasy football nation has that struggle and you know what that struggle is over we no longer have that struggle yeah we no longer have to make that decision I was going to say that it's it's very Grim to say but as if you're a Kyle Pitts manager it is a bit of a relief honestly because n

ow you can just start cold commit start Juwan Johnson anyone yes exactly except somebody on the on the Falcons again again we are a pro Kyle Pitt show we love Kyle Pitts here Arthur Smith not so much tried call pits to Miami someone give him give him Mike anywhere free Kyle Pitts yeah training for Jeff Wilson my uh Arthur Smith probably would prefer another running back yes trade him for a tackle all right let's go waiver wired running backs sure let's start off with a couple of rookies Isaiah P

acheco Rashad white I mean this is a pretty short one they should be roasted everywhere and started everywhere my assumption is that both Isaiah Pacheco and Rashad white are rostered in every 12 Team league but they might be out there in some 10 team leagues if you're in a league with a bunch of for example Stephen D'Agostino's you know where they're not really paying attention well yeah just a bunch of guys that you know sort of show up on Monday check oh did I win or not you know if you're in

a league with like that there's a lot of big football guy he's not really fun he's a big Saudi Arabia fan uh what I will tell you is that that uh Pacheco and Rashad white if they are available and again they're both available in just over 30 of Yahoo leagues our priority ads for me I would rank them Pacheco and then white we've seen Pacheco basically take over that Kansas City backfield no passing game usage for checko but they are going to want to run the ball and I think he's probably got more

touchdown Equity than Rashad white I also just think that Leonard fournette the Specter of him is a lot scarier than the Specter of Jack McKinnon and Clyde Edwards allowed at this point correct pending ch's Health what I will say though is that if anything were to happen in Atlanta fortnite and we'll see what happens coming out of the buy right because the last time we saw the Buccaneers he took every snap Rashad white did every snap of their first drive in week 10 and he actually out snapped L

eonard fournette 22-18 in the first half remember that was the Germany game that was the game in Germany and there was also some issues with Leonard fournette's passport so I don't know if that was a team discipline sort of thing on fournette or they just felt like white gave them more of a spark we will see whatever the fact remains is there at Cleveland this this week we just saw it with like Devin Singletary last week Cleveland allows the third most rushing yards per game to opposing running

backs this season they give him a ton of fantasy points to Rose posing running backs so Rashad white who's going to make the love list this week and the others receiving votes I think he's a viable flex play and massive upside if anything were to happen to fournette both worth watching by the way should we should just notice as long as I'm rambling here I love how pay comes out tomorrow it is Thanksgiving week right Jay Croucher I'm taking Thursday off you're taking Thursday off yes um Stephen D

'Agostino will continue to take days off so uh we will not have a show just a little housekeeping here we will not have a show fantasy football happy hour not be on air Thursday or Friday oh no so I don't believe I don't think so I'm asking you I I don't believe we are on Friday either I think we're having both days off um and if if it's up in the air then I'm going to make the executive call so uh tomorrow's tomorrow's Wednesday show will sort of be the week 12 show and then of course we will g

et you ready Sunday morning fantasy football pregame me you uh and a whole cast of thousands on peacock 1101 and then noon to one on CNBC so uh anyway tomorrow will be love hate day indeed and what better way to segue out of that than into latavius Murray Broncos running back with Melvin golden waved yesterday after another fumble for Gordon we'll see what happens do you remember when uh they wouldn't commit for when Nathaniel Hackett wouldn't commit full time to Javonte Williams yeah because of

Melvin Gordon yeah and now he's committing full-time to latavius Murray well when you can commit to latavius Murray you've got to do it he's available in 77 of leagues he plays at Carolina her Carolina's a weird run defense I'm just I'm just you know for all the complaints we want to make about Arthur Smith you know you sit there and look at Denver and you're like you know what Arthur Smith Never mind all this has done a great job he really has I mean he's annoying he's he's a he's a he's he ha

s gotten the most out of not a lot of talent and Atlanta has been competitive in every game and they're you know today he just drives us crazy in fantasy football because for whatever reason they used top eight overall picks on Drake London and Kyle Pitts and did not get the ball to either them throughout the year it makes no sense logically but to your point they're winning football games they're competitive he's got them playing well he's a good football coach he just drives us crazy easy in t

he world of fantasy football Nathaniel Hackett I think the jury is out on all of it I think the jury's in I think they delivered that decision he's no good oh it's not great it's been appealed it's been turned down for him yes uh so Chase esmins he's going to miss a lot of time with his high ankle sprain Mullen Mack is back from the dead might as well yeah if I thought you were done with Marlon back you're not done oh no no no no uh in Divine of zigbo as well be activated from the practice squad

but it is latavius Marie's backfield in Denver look here's a guy that so far this season is a top 30 running back in fantasy points per game he was the 12th best running back in Fantasy last week 17.2 21 touches in week 10 including three receptions he's actually had three or more receptions each of the last two weeks which is not something you've normally seen out of Octavius Murray he's actually scored a touch done in three of the last four games and now you get the Carolina Panthers who over

the last four weeks allow 127 rushing yards per game 5.2 yards per carry to opposing running backs again a lot of that skewed by that Bengals game as we've talked about here the Panthers probably better defensively than they get credit for I mean they you know they they they they hung tough with the Ravens last week yeah they bottled up the vaunted Arthur Smith run defense as well on Thursday Night Football a couple weeks ago too so run offense yes yes exactly um but latavius Murray is likely g

oing to get the majority of the goal line work here he's going to get a you know big uh you know massive work workload yeah they don't they don't want Russell Wilson throwing it no why do gloves you want to pay quote a million dollars you've got a quarter million dollar quarterback you gotta hand off to Davis he's gonna be roasted everywhere and probably started everywhere uh until further notice yeah he's available in over 50 of Yahoo league so if assuming Pacheco and white are out he would be

my number one pick at the running back position if he is there I prefer him to another hot pick up this week which is SEMA JP Ryan yes mainly because of well Juan we'll see what happens with Joe Mixon to the Tennessee run defense is the best in the league that's correct and honestly like some IDP runs a nice running back and if Joe mixons were out like he'll he'll um he'll be productive right he's had 11 career games where he's gotten 15 or more touches and victims out he does to get 15 touches

he's averaging 85.5 scrimmage yards per game and here you see Joe Burrows look samaj apron looking so sweet and they you know the white Unis look so sweet this drove me crazy because this is why I got eliminated from my Guillotine league is because Joe burrow threw passes three different passes that really went a year that went a yard down the field and then some maje P Ryan did everything else three different times into the end zone ridiculous it's not very fast he is not but he's you know he's

a better pass catcher than I think he probably gets credit for he's had multiple catches in uh seven out of 10 games so far this year to your point about Tennessee very good run defense but they actually allow a ton of receptions to opposing running backs so if P Ryan were if Mason were out this week there is some Flex viability to P Ryan you know especially given his passing game usage yep The evolutionary Giovanni Bernard samaje payron uh sorry but important by the way I mean like if you have

Joe Nixon he's a priority ad as well yep absolutely so we'll see how mixing does currently end the concussion protocol latavius Murray is the guy that you want over yeah I just think right I just at some point Joe mixon's going to come back and that's his backfield no one's coming back for Denver yep and even this week regardless of that you don't want samaje against the Tennessee defense when you can get latavius against the Carolina defense correct quickly talk about Kyron Williams who is in

a mess of a team and goes up against the Kansas City chief so probably not going to be the greatest run script and again the Los Angeles Rams are 14 and a half Point underdogs two Kansas City but he might be the guy that you want in that backfield for the rest of the way yeah I mean who knows what's going on with the quarterback situation there it's a mess in Los Angeles and now they play the Kansas City Chiefs they're on the road Kansas City but I think this is interesting as you see it there o

n your screen Kieran Williams played 35 snaps compared to 25 for cam acres and just four for Daryl Henderson uh he got seven rushing attempts cam makers did get 14 but the fact of the matter is is he was the only running back to get a reception uh and I know just from talking with sources they like Karen Williams and they want to see what they have in him like the the feels like the ship has sailed on cam Acres they try to trade him at the deadline couldn't find a taker we'll see what happens bu

t feels like in the off season there's probably a lot of changes coming to the Rams offense and one of them will be cam makers on a new team sort of feels that way yeah right and so I know in a Lost season for Los Angeles they want to see what they have in Kieran Williams again it's a bad offensive line you're still going to have enders in an Acres around but if you're like sitting here going like hey I just I'm looking for a live body here you know what I mean I just I need a pulse at running b

ack in a deeper League Karen Williams would be a guy that I think is sort of interesting uh especially by the way and he's a he's a decent pass Catcher And you think about their upcoming schedule Chiefs uh Seattle Raiders uh Packers so you know first off not a ton of great run defenses there and also games in which like you know like Kansas City they're gonna be down and throwing in at least as of yet last week he's the quote passing down back yes for whatever that means whatever that means let'

s quickly touch on some insurance backs yeah headlines important as we head into the fantasy playoffs I just think it's important to know like if you have really good running backs if you're like you know what I got Damien Pierce and Derrick Henry I'm good I feel really good every single week then all it is is what you want is high upside running backs and that's what the guys on your screen right here Isaiah Spiller backing up Eckler County Ingram backing up uh James Connor obviously Madison is

the poster boy for this you know obviously behind Alvin cook James Cook we saw a lot of production out of James Cook there in Buffalo feels like they like him a lot and then of course Dion Jackson who's been productive when Jonathan Taylor is out and so these guys I think are all priority ads if you have the starter ahead of them or if you're just looking for high upside Flyers if you don't need anyone this week you're like I need somebody this week latavius Murray you know potentially some ijp

right but you're just like I'm good my running backs are good so this is just about like can I get some high upside those are the guys that I would grab over the latavius Murrays of the world yep okay we're gonna go to break when we come back we'll be on that list like again this week you wouldn't have wired hope you get you have mixing which is why it's important to get the guys we just mentioned the ingrams the the cooks the Madison to the world we've hit the over on samaje payron the the pro

p on bed MGF we've gone way over we're gonna mention them all right when we come back Pros to my JP Ryan podcast yeah wide receivers headline by trial and bucks I've heard of him [Applause] Juan Johnson sees a lot of uh a lot of garbage time targets but uh I I believe he's sixth in tight end routes over the past four weeks over the past month okay it's not a fluke he's out there running a lot of routes that's what we're looking for with a streaming tight end ah just traded Taylor for cup really

straight up somebody trade you Cooper traded you Cooper cup for Taylor man you that's tough luck I think we all we all want I'm gonna give you a hug if that's okay [Music] yeah that's steady Carter the NFL on NBC YouTube channel go ahead and read the promo there if you would like a virtual hug from a man and a suit jacket yeah Carter's a guy yes feels like he's about to teach uh English literature class or something or tell you about picking up Juwan Johnson uh but head to our YouTube channel uh

the NFL on NBC YouTube channel and Danny Carter will give you uh live advice yes he is uh he'll be live he'll be live at one o'clock he will he will talk to you he also feels it's a little bit like um you see the commercials about the you know not being your parent yeah the yeah he's a little little doctor Rick there okay yeah a little doctor that's not a bad call now uh we talked about Stephen the Augustana previously on his decision to not pick up Colt McCoy display Kyla Morris's starter this

is actually footage of Stephen walking into Today's Show right and Stephen before you get upset I'd just like to tell you all you've got to do is look at the man in the mirror because that's the only man you've got to blame it up Colt McCoy did you end up winning I did there you go because I picked up Colt McCoy and I had Christian McCaffrey that also helps those two things help all right let's jump into waiver wired wide receivers by the way remember I keep my Guillotine team from yesterday al

so I forgot to I forget the whole rant I forgot to mention I also had Cooper Cup on that team who had lost the week before yeah he's good so no Cooper I mean that's like shrinking in size by the day all right long Berks yes I've heard of it looked a little bit like Cooper cup uh on Thursday night against Green Bay where he went off roasted Jay Alexander and now he gets a pretty banged up Cincinnati secondary since he's come back he's had a 22 Target share like that you know we knew somebody woul

d emerge from Tennessee we hoped it would Trail on Brooks first round draft pick had a tough off season then he gets hurt and you're just not sure but having Ryan Tannehill back under Center who's willing to pass unlike my Malik Willis and the fact that you know Brooks is there's a reason why he was a first round pick I mean like this is a this is a talented guy um and so now trailon Burks uh in the number one role for Tennessee you like the match up here with the Bengals as Cincinnati's allowed

at least one touchdown to a wide receiver in five straight games they're giving up over 17 yards for reception or wide receivers over the last three games as well and so Brooks who's a top 12 wide receiver last week should be somebody who was a priority on the waiver wire he's available in 80 percent of Yahoo leagues we've talked about him a few times as hey this is a guy we like this is the guy you should grab and stash no one listens to us so he's still out there in 80 of leagues yep they all

loading the Box against Tennessee like I'm not saying before and when it was Mike Will it's like oh he's going to run Derrick Henry over and over again the past two weeks though much more of a passing game in Tennessee Trail and Berks is the main beneficiary and just remember we've seen it with AJ Brown we've seen this offense we've seen Ryan to Hannah Hill support an elite fantasy-wide receiver rontano is good let's talk uh Darius Slayton who plays at the Cowboys on Thanksgiving one Dale Robin

son unfortunately is out for the season with Tony ACL terrible news there we loved Wanda Robinson all season long and he finally last week finally comes into his own you're like yes that's the Wando we've been talking about and then just a brutal injury get better soon wandel we're all rooting for you as well um but it is worth noting that Darius Slayton over the last four weeks also a 22 Target chair you're sitting here seeing uh on your screen what he's done over the last six weeks been pretty

productive other than that week six game against the Ravens okay whatever A lot of people struggle against the Ravens but over the last four weeks he's averaging 14.6 fantasy points per game and now uh he's got some he's got you know a schedule that I think the Giants are gonna have to throw I mean they played Dallas this week uh Washington Philadelphia then at Washington again uh Dairy slate who's a big play waiting to happen and has had a connection with Daniel Jones before in his past so we

like the dairy Slayton Delta young guy I'm pretty worried about Cyclone Barkley the rest of the white lace relative to perception because of all those defenses that he's playing Dallas two games against the commanders who Damien Pierce could do nothing against there's a Colts game there uh and then Philadelphia now they've got Lynn balzeros has been in Dominicans that's much taller are you recommending so high on saquon Barkley it's kind of hard to sell high on him after he had what 15 carries f

or 23 yards he's still safe on Barkley though I still think you could get a top 10 player for saquon Barkley running back is so awful and he's been so good for much of the year I think that's interesting I'm not I'm not trying to sell him just to sell him but I agree with you like his Peak is probably at its peak yes he's peaked I think it's mostly down from here I think that yeah he's still he's still he's really he's still a top 10 running back but is he a top three guy probably not he's proba

bly more than the sure it's seven to nine range I think there's a good chance the guys like Josh Jacobs Jonathan Taylor on a per game basis might now produce him the rest of the way it's definitely very much Heckler CMC you know I mean on and on look I still he's involved enough in the passing game he's such a focal point that you know Detroit game notwithstanding my expectation here is he's still he's gonna be fine Yes again I'm not trying to actively shop him but if somebody were willing to yo

u know give me a pretty good a pretty good haul for him I would certainly consider it giving the upcoming schedule speaking of pretty good Donovan people's Jones yeah just continues to cook uh he's kind of been the seminal waiver white pickup guy for this show where he's just in this awake and he should just be roasted everywhere and you can start him as a basically a mid-tier flex at this point he's a viable wide receiver three he's had at least 11 fantasy points in each of the last seven games

except for one I can see you see it there on your screen he's averaging 72 yards per game over the last seven which is 11th best among wide receivers he's actually a top 30 wide receiver fantasy points per game since week four as you see it there on your screen starting with that Falcons game where he went five for 71 at Atlanta in week four so Donovan people's Jones who has a connection with Jacoby Brissette and oh by the way this is the last week of Jacobi reset we'll talk about Watson in a l

ittle bit but he's a week away from getting to Sean Watson to this quarterback which we'll see if that's actually an upgrade or not Watson hasn't played in a while but we do know that Watson does like to throw deep and so people's Jones has some speed and you know they they like to set up play action and he's been a nice compliment to Amari Cooper he's available in 55 percent of you uh I was gonna say ESPN leagues probably is but whatever I'm used to it yahoo League I only said that for 15 years

yes is what it is also that Cleveland defense I don't really understand it but it's terrible and uh they're going to be in a lot more shootouts so they're going to be throwing a lot the rest of the way let's hope Paris Campbell the rejuvenated renaissance man yeah yeah he's uh again just continues to produce five for 67 against Philadelphia not his best game but still producing viable fantasy outputs UH 60 available yeah and as long as Matt Ryan is the quarterback of the Colts Paris Campbell's

gonna be viable like he likes throwing to the slot which by the way that's an area where Pittsburgh is really vulnerable they allow the second most yards per game to the slot Paris Campbell in all four games that he's played with Matt Ryan the last four I should say the last four the last four games he's played with Matt Ryan he's averaging 18 and a half fantasy points per game almost a 25 Target chair you see him there on your screen the last four games with Matt Ryan he's been uh they have a c

onnection there they go back to Sam Ellinger we're screwed here but as long as Matt Ryan is the guy everyone Paris Campbell is is very viable yep no I agree with that and I wouldn't be worried too much about just having the six targets because India was leading that game the entire way until they weren't so they were able to run Jonathan Taylor right 22 times okay so these four guys these are the four big name wide receiver pickups Burke Slayton dpj Paris Campbell who do you most want the rest o

f the season how about Demarcus Robinson who in week 11 played 79 of the snaps to 20 uh 28 Target chair and two of the last three he's had at least eight targets so he's 12 fantasy points and so Demarcus Robinson who's a talented uh wide receiver with Rashad Bateman out there looking for somebody to step up and even though Devin duvernay's got some of the touchdowns in some of the flashier plays in terms of snaps played in terms of routes run it's actually Demarcus Robinson who's the guy uh that

you want there so I think he's kind of interesting especially given the fact they play the Jaguars this week uh you see some other names there on your screen Sky more we don't know about the help of JuJu Smith Schuster or Kadarius Tony Jameson Williams we talked about we expect him back after the Lions buy of course they played Thanksgiving then they'll have a buy but James Williams is kind of an interesting stash as he was designated to return from IR yesterday and then finally Nico Collins wi

th Nico Collins I should say with 17 targets over the last two games whatever I don't know what's going on in Houston but it feels you know Brandon Cooks has fallen out of favor there's there's talk of maybe a quarterback switch there ooh Davis Mills for Zach Wilson who says no no that's very that's a sad question I think who says no yeah America says no America says no the Milky Way galaxy says no fair enough to that one sorry fair enough I think Houston say yeah well they might say yes emphati

cally yes right exactly the arms of New Jersey state no yeah exactly all right so of all the names we've talked about in this segment who do you most want the rest of the season yeah for the rest of the season the guy I want the most is treyland Brooks he's got the most upside he could he has the potential to be AJ Brown down the stretch like a top 15 fantasy wide receiver like he's got he's got that skill set and that potential role I'm not saying it's going to happen but we always talk about t

his in fantasy football success comes from two things and two things only talent and opportunity we know about Brooks's talent and now he's got the opportunities fully healthy and he is the guy in that passing game for the Tennessee Titans yep I agree Brooks is the guy all right we're gonna go to break when we come back wave wide tight ends and also we make Matthew Barry relive one of his worst moments or the worst moment of his fantasy season really a lot of a lot of ones to pick from foreign m

ost of the show is about you guys okay most of the show is me pouring out my heart pouring out my brain for you for you at home this one's about me and me only and so in a guillotine league if you're the lowest scoring team in the league you get you get chopped Michael Pittman like it's a Josh Allen it's a great team not anymore no not anymore Jay Croucher you know why because everyone that I just mentioned didn't score a touchdown God forbid Josh I'll throw more than one touchdown fast God forb

id saquon Barkley gets more than 30 yards against the lines the lion say Juan Barkley five minutes later ques Watkins why we throwing it to quez Watkins AJ Brown is there you understand how hard it is to have seven legitimate offensive stars that score only one touchdown over the course of a day you know how hard it is well I did it that feels good to get out yeah you're happy no I'm not happy I don't even imagine the fact that again I didn't have cars I didn't have Cooper cop okay I mean like I

should have had Cooper Cup who's great at Guillotine because he's got such a high floor but he's great in all forms of fantasy but especially in Guillotine and I lost him the week before and the way guilty leagues work is that you have a you know a bunch of Fab money and that every week that you lose uh at the team that finishes and last and gets chopped all of your players go into uh the free agent pool sure and so you can bid on them so I'd spent all my money to get Cooper cup so it's not lik

e I could have gone to the waiver wire prior to this week because I'd spend it all on Cooper cup but you know what it didn't matter because my team was awesome it's just hard you know say Juan Barkley miles Sanders Josh Allen you know all these guys all these high floor guys saquan I said that I said that little video we have a group chat of all the guys that are in the guillotine league and they all like they all just laughs emojis it's a great time now it's no more it was yeah past tense prese

nt tense is Juwan Johnson by the way look at this camera angle I mean look it looks like I have a peacock coming out of my head just look at the kind of dirt how can we keep it it's like a little it's a little bit of a crown it's like my bald head up into a peacock bracelet like that yeah but yeah right right exactly yeah what's you know what this is you know what this is this is a nominee for you know yeah best cinematography exactly is my bald head right up into a piece the trophy the most ter

rifying trophy in the history of trophies yeah all right all right so Juwan Johnson sure it all just keeps Jesus Johnson he gets the peacocking for uh surprise tight end who just keeps on producing tough matchup against San Francisco who are very good full stop but very good against tight ends as well at least in terms of their efficiency but uh maybe the Saints will be throwing and I think Juwan Johnson's a viable Flex yeah he had tied in for the past five weeks it appears that the Red Rifle An

dy Dalton yes uh has a connection with Juwan Johnson look when you're getting down to the waiver wire with tight ends you're just hoping for a guy that scores and he has been scoring quite a bit uh if Juwan Johnson's not there how about Logan Thomas is that Logan Thomas's music that is Logan Thomas music it's been a couple weeks since we've talked about him remember they play the Falcons this week and Atlanta allows the third most receptions to opposing tight ends 26 for targets 26 Target share

from Taylor heinecke last week for Logan Thomas finally fully healthy uh he's available on 86 percent of leagues you know I love me some Logan Thomas you too happy hour mascot Logan Thomas it's Marlon McIntosh and it's Logan Thomas we're gonna go to break when we come back quarterbacks on the wave away yes if any moms are watching we're not going to be talking Zach Wilson so you can skip ahead right they know they know they can pick him up yeah there you go good one foreign [Music] terrible for

your stomach it's just cheese noodles and milk and everybody else like no you gotta have my mama you gotta have my eye on it but you went so hard at it you didn't just say hey it's not for me you said it was overrated it is that's such an awful take wow Matthew judon who was 13 sacks on the season on Pace to play with the sack record he just sacked mac and cheese in that segment with Michael Smith you unbalted that take I am not I look I'm not a mac and cheese guy but I will tell you but I will

very aggressive because I'll tell you something like I have I have twin daughters that are 11. and you know what they are hungry a lot of the time and you know what else they have is a dad who can't cook yeah but you know what I can do is I can take a bowl of mac and cheese and throw some water and it thrown to the microwave and then shove it in their heads and they and they like it yes and so thank God for mac and cheese because that saved my bacon A lot of times yeah because I can't cook but I

know how to pour water and turn on a microwave chef's kiss there you go put me on the Food Network I'm just saying mac and cheese has saved my bacon more than once favorite Thanksgiving side quickly what do you got stuffing stuffing stuffing yeah Tomatoes roasted brussels sprouts I'm incredibly high on brussels sprouts relative to um brussels sprouts but stuffing has to be crispy by the way it can't be soft it has to be like crunchy crunchy stuffing that's the smartest thing you've said all day

let's say if we get some other small things out and you wave a wide quarterbacks let's start off with the Immortals Marcus Mariota still biggest gap between real life and fantasy production for this guy keeps producing yeah he does tough matchup with my commanders obviously but at least 17 fantasy points and five or seven the rushing keeps this floor High 40 rushing yards or a rushing touchdown and each of the last uh and five of the last seven games where he scored at least 17 fantasy points a

gain last week qb14 uh you know that's basically what this is a mid-tier guy there so some other quarterbacks here because I know we're running short time we talked about Ryan Tannehill he gets Cincinnati right Ryan Tannehill has had in the two games since he's come back 19 fantasy points as teams continue to stack the Box against Derrick Henry that opens up play action for Tana Hill who is accurate and again the emergence of uh the emergence of treyland Burks Austin Hooper as well nice pass cat

ching tight end all of a sudden the Titans passing offense starting to you know show some signs of life I think they play in Cincinnati they're gonna have to throw to keep up with the Bengals yeah I think the emergence of trail on Berks as well because they didn't have NFL level receivers for a stretch there but now you've got Trail and Berks Robert woods these are NFL receivers the emergence of my man Russell Westbrook and Kenai as well that helps too so I think Tannehill is certainly viable ag

ainst the banged up secondary what do you think of Jacoby Brissette and also what do you think of Deshawn Watson yeah uh I will talk about what I think of DeSean Watson's spearly purely from a fantasy football um uh point of view and from a purely fantasy football point of view I think DeSean Watson if you were quarterback needy is probably worth grabbing and stashing right he's expected to return in week 13 against Houston since the last week of Jacoby said if you need somebody this week that y

ou know they play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week it's not a defense that really scares you so much last three games he's averaged over 20 fantasy points per game Jacoby Brissette maybe his Alaska raw for him because he knows Watson is coming and I do think Watson if you're looking for somebody to stash down the stretch he becomes kind of interesting he's available in over 52 percent of Yahoo leagues you know it's a little nervous right because Watson hasn't played in almost two years but uh

of the guys out there if you're desperate for a quarterback for the rest of the way he's somebody that uh is certainly interesting and finally Taylor Heineken what a surprise my guy Taylor all right so the last three game James Taylor heinecke is averaging over 20 fantasy points per game he's had two different games with over 20 points I again look he didn't have the great game against Houston because he didn't need to because they got the pick six but against Atlanta uh he's had success against

Atlanta in the past so yeah Taylor heinecke you know he's a mid-tier uh qb2 I like it and you're not afraid of that matchup against Atlanta you certainly are not yeah it might be a little bit of a shootout the suddenly relevant Washington command is six and five plus 150 to make the playoffs plus one I'm taking that beta Jam especially when I use the promo code Barry because I'm a company man all right listen Jay Croucher we were back tomorrow it's love hate day tomorrow it is closing time whic

h means you don't have to go home but you can't stay here for Jay Croucher I am Matthew Berry thank you to everyone for watching go to Denny Carter and look at his YouTube page and peace out
