0:18talk through injuries. We're going to talk through snap counts. We're going to talk through opponents, game spreads, totals, all that good stuff as we always
0:23do. So, if you are new here, make sure you subscribe to the channel. And as always, if you just want my rankings,
0:29they are available. And the only place they are available is on bdge.co.

1:00Dallas at Detroit, a 54 and a half point total in this game. They are in Detroit.
1:06Detroit is three-point favorites. This one feels relatively cut and dry here.
1:10From an injury standpoint, I'm on RA and Khif Raymond have both been DMPS throughout the entirety of the week this point. So, I would put them at a less
1:18than 50% chance to play. You know, they're still holding out hope. Aman Raw right now is questionable. Brock Wright is also out for Detroit. So they are
1:25down a bunch of their pass catchers.
1:27Obviously if Oman RA suits up you're going to throw him into your lineup.
1:29Feel really good about J Mo either way.
1:32But you know if Almanra's out JO's I mean his line at 80 and a half is amongst the highest of any receiver in
1:37the NFL this week. So JO's going to go into a mustard. He is just balling right now. Without Amarra, without Sam
1:43Laaporta, without Brock Wright, without all these guys that are pass catchers in this offense, he's going to continue to ball. If we talk about other guys that
1:49are balling, let's go CD Lamb. Let's go George Pickkins. All these guys need to be in your lineup. This is a 54 and 1/2
1:55wide total. They're playing in the dome.
1:57Thursday Night Football, this is when the stars like to show out. All of their lines are at 80 and a half or above. I
2:03will tell you one line that is glaring to me. One and a half rushing yards for JO. You know, he's getting an end round.
2:09That is, we just started this video.
2:11That is my favorite play of the week already. When you are down all these playmakers, do you know what you do? You
2:16get the ball into the hands of your playmakers as often as possible. If you think Jan getting one rushing attempt this week and can't take it for a yard
2:23and a half, you're out of your mind.
2:25You'd be out of your mind not to tail this play of mine on MGM. All right, so go download MGM. $10 on the app. Use
2:32code BDGE. Hit that J Mo one and a half rushing yard line. Bing, bang, boom. You get the membership for free. You get
2:38free J Mo Williams over one and a half.
2:40Life is beautiful. We got to talk about behind Jameson Williams. However, we've got some guys that make a little bit of
2:45noise here. We got Isaac Tesla. We've got Tom Kennedy here with Aman Ross St.
2:50Brown out last week when he suffered the ankle sprain on Thanksgiving. We had Tom Kennedy and Isaac Tesla move into prominent roles. Right. Isaac Tesla
2:59became an every down player on the outside. Tom Kennedy became 75 80% snap guy and I think we'll occupy that role
3:07in week 14. If I'm on Ross St. Brown misses. So, do I feel particularly great about either of them? No. They're both
3:14going to go into the shaky flex category, but I don't feel terrible about either of them either. Wouldn't surprise me if Tom Kennedy ended up
3:20catching five or six passes. Wouldn't surprise me if Isaac Tessa went four for 70, one-handed touchdown grab either.
3:26So, it's a great game environment. You know, Jared Goff is going to have to throw the ball because Dallas is going
3:31to throw the ball. There's going to be hopefully points all around here. So, I think the secondary pass catchers because they are down to just, you know,
3:37you'd imagine Dallas is going to do everything they can to try to take Jameson Williams out of the game here.
3:42So, it's going to be a heavy dosage of gives. I'm sure they're trying to get Deont going a little bit on the ground
3:46to suffocate the defense a little bit, but Tom Kennedy and Isaac Tesla, I do imagine are going to get a decent amount
3:51of targets here. So, I do like Tom Kennedy's reception line at two and a half as well. But again, I I think you
3:56could do better at Flex, of course, because both of them have very low floors just based on the player and the
3:59involvement they have, but I also think you could do a lot worse than both of these guys based on the situation.
4:05Moving to the 1 p.m. slate on Sunday, we've got Cincinnati at Buffalo, 53 12 point total. think I really like the
4:12under there. I do think this is going to be a weather affected game. I think there's like a 50% chance of
4:17precipitation and the weather is going to be about 30 to 32 degrees. So maybe some snow, maybe some really really cold
4:24rain going on there which will affect the passing game a little bit. These are professionals. You know, they're going to ball. Uh Jamar Chase of course is a
4:30mustar. T Higgins not cleared from concussion protocol yet, but you can't actually clear concussion protocol in the beginning of the week. So when you
4:37see those reports of like not cleared Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, that doesn't actually matter. Like you can only get cleared once you put a full practice in,
4:44which are like Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. You have to get deeper into the week in order to clear. Higgins got back to practice yesterday, Wednesday in a
4:52limited fashion. Again, he needs to get a full practice in, but it does look like it's trending in the right direction here. So T. Higgins is going
4:57to go into the feels good category, playing with Joe Burrow, of course, again, and I don't want any Cincinnati pass catchers behind him. the Buffalo
5:04Bills. I do think it looks like Don Concincaid will be back in the lineup, which is an incredible matchup for him
5:09because the Bengals let up an insane amount of points to opposing tight ends.
5:13They also can be had through the slot as well cuz they got DJ Turner on the outside as like a legit cornerback one
5:19who tends to do a pretty good job of taking out outside wide receiver one.
5:23So, there's no one in Buffalo's pass catching group. I know Keon Coleman had a touchdown last week, but he actually ran 44% of the routes. So, he's not a
5:29guy that I want in my lineup despite what the matchup looks like on paper.
5:33Shakir, listen again, you know, ups and downs all week. I I think the matchup is great. Very high total here. 53 and a2.
5:39He's going to go into the dub flex for me and I don't want anybody else in this game. We can move to Indie at
5:45Jacksonville here. This is a 47 1/2 point total. They are in Jacksonville.
5:50Indie is one and a half point favorites in this one. This is a little bit of a tough one to decipher because Pierce and
5:56Pitman have kind of been up and down.
5:57Daniel Jones has not been playing as well over the last month or so since we've heard about his fractured tibia there. They're obviously going to try to
6:03establish Jonathan Taylor as they do every single game. As you can see though, the Jaguars are not an easy passing defense to throw the ball
6:09against. 31st in EPA per pass allowed to opponents. You see, fantasy points are a little bit better obviously cuz they end
6:16up scoring a decent amount of points.
6:17So, opponents obviously need to throw the ball to the wide receivers. So, when I'm looking at the difference between Pierce and Michael Pitman, Vegas has
6:24them almost identical. 56 and a half receiving yards for Pierce. 51 and a half for Michael Pitman. Pitman's got a little bit of an edge over him and
6:32receptions just, you know, based on the natural uh target depth of his involvement in the offense. So, Pierce, you know, again, he's a guy that you
6:40don't want to overthink because when you overthink it, like you sit him after a bad game, then he has the good game. So,
6:44it it's that type of back and forth that you're going to end up playing with fire a little bit. So, Pierce is going to be
6:49in my lineup as a dub flex. I'll put him above Shakir. Pitman's also going to go into the dub flex because again he's not
6:54a guy that I want to flip-flop back and forth. I think he's very talented. I think he's going to have good games
6:58going forward, but I would start a guy like Shir over Michael Pitman. So that's where like I guess there's a little bit
7:03of a a tier gap for me. We'll throw Josh down into the shaky flex. Probably rather not start him if I don't have to.
7:09But you know, again, if you want the actual rankings in terms of orders of exactly how I would sit start all these
7:14dudes, it is available in the membership which I've mentioned 472 times already throughout this video. The other side of the ball is a little bit more
7:20interesting, mainly because Parker Washington suffered the hip injury last week and he was a DNP for their first practice on Wednesday. He'll obviously
7:28need to get in at least a limit of practice either today or on Friday to return to this game. So, let's proceed
7:34as if Parker Washington is not going to play. That makes me feel phenomenal about Jacobe Meyers. He has taken over as a legit wide receiver one. And it
7:42makes sense based on the Liam Cohen type of offense. Loves using the slot receivers. loves using the over the middle type of guys and that's also been
7:49where Trevor Lawrence has excelled with receivers, right? Christian Kirk, Evan Ingram, the guys over the middle that make the plays and we've seen Jacobe
7:55Myers come in three weeks and he's already the number one for Trevor Lawrence coming off of a big game. I expect that to be the case again. Brian
8:02Thomas Jr. just not really involved last week, was even taken out on some two wide receiver sets. Obviously, first game back from a long stretch of a high
8:10ankle sprain, missing time there. So, I do expect his involvement to go up a little bit. I do I do not expect him to
8:15catch two balls a game going forward, especially with Parker Washington out, but Brenton Strange is making a big impact. You know, he is one of the guys
8:21over the middle that's taking advantage of this. So, Meyers, Strange, those are the guys you want in your lineup from Jacksonville. This is also a game
8:28they're playing in Jacksonville, so the temperature is not a concern, but there are some reports that there could be some showers throughout the game. Not
8:35overly concerned about it because of, you know, the temperature itself, but I think at this point it is it is really
8:40tough to trust Brian Thomas Jr. you know, any game he's given to Pop, you know, like you you think it might happen
8:46eventually. And Vegas still has him up at 48 and a half. He's going to go into the shaky flex here for me. I just don't
8:50know how anyone could trust him at this point. Next game up, we got Miami at the New York Jets. Miami's two and a half
8:56point favorites on the road here. 41 12 point total. Uh I'm just always going to start Jaylen Wadd. I you know, I don't
9:02really care about the blips in his game.
9:04So whether you want to throw him in the mustar or the feels good, I I feel really good about having him in my
9:08lineup on a weekly basis. I think they just went with a non-aggressive game plan last week. Heavy heavy dosage of Devon Han. So I think that could flip at
9:16any moment and the Jets defense is not one to be scared of obviously. On the flip side, we had Adonai Mitchell with
9:21his breakout game last week. John Matchy took a little bit of a step back, but that was always in the cards, right?
9:26They're both super super involved. This is a great match up against the Miami Dolphins defense fifth in EPA per pass allowed to opponents. Tyrod, you know,
9:33stabilizing the passing offense. Garrett Wilson's going to be out for at least one more week with his IR stint, if not,
9:39you know, longer. Do I feel great about having either of these guys? Like, one one thing I will say is I I'm not going
9:45to overreact to Adani Mitchell's great game, and I don't want to overreact to John Mete having a bad game and now
9:50they're like 15 spots apart in the rankings after everyone was kind of flipping because the production went one way or the other. I just think at the
9:56end of the day, the Adenai Mitchell targets are a lot more valuable. They're a lot deeper. He's getting more of them.
10:01Uh they're both running pretty much every single route. So you have the wide receiver one, you have the wide receiver two in an offense where their defense
10:07lets up a ton of points. So to be honest with you, I actually really like, as weird as it's saying, in a Jets game,
10:12the over in this game, 41 a half. These are two teams where I think their offenses are better than both of the
10:18opposing defenses. So I think they'll top that total. And I'm looking at, you know, the players that I have in the
10:23tiers already. And I think, you know, if I'm looking at Adani Mitchell and John Mechy, yeah, there's a world where Adai
10:28Mitchell for sure pops again. I don't feel super confident in that. He's going to go into the shaky flex tier. To me,
10:34he's like right behind BTJ or in that conversation where he's kind of bordering on moving his way up into the dub flex tier because the weekly ceiling
10:41is so high, but I don't feel super confident. Mechi is going to go into the shaky flex tier as well. I feel good
10:46about his floor and I guess it's more a matter of floor ceiling to you and what you need in your lineup this week.
10:51Moving to the Saints at Tampa Bay. 42 and a half point total, eight and a half point underdogs for the New Orleans
10:58Saints here. Let's check out some of the practice reports. So on Wednesday, Kamara still a DMP. Chris Olive was a DMP dealing with the back spasms. That
11:07was something he dealt with last week and ended up playing through it, but apparently he's pretty sore. And it did feel like they affected him a little
11:13bit. I think it was a Dolphins game plan to kind of take a out of the mix and that's why we saw a Devonvele game. So,
11:18you know, I do think, you know, an Alve downgrade is probably warranted with the back, but I don't want to overdo it. Uh
11:25on the flip side, Godwin still limited.
11:27He played last week. Mike Evans's practice window did open. Jaylen McMillan's as well. Both of them are limited. We don't have word of whether
11:34or not they're going to suit up for this week, which makes it obviously a tough decipher for the wide receivers. Uh
11:40Chris, I'm just going to go into the feels good. It's a great matchup. Tampa Bay is one that you just throw the ball
11:45against and and don't really try to run the ball against. Amecha Buuka, I know he's been a little shitty the last
11:49couple weeks, but he's going to go into the feels good category. Once again, 60 and a half yards is his line. Don't want
11:54to overthink that one. Chris Cowin had a big bounceback game last week. A lot of it was on a big play. Um, I'm not going
12:00overly optimistic on Chris Godwin. Tes Johnson's line is now at 21 and a half.
12:05So, his falloff has been pretty dramatic recently. I think the matchup is good.
12:10It's most of this is something I can't really decipher right now without having any practice reports or health reports.
12:16So, we could look at the routes run from last week. It was Ibuka was an an every down player. You had Chris Godwin at 66%
12:23of the routes. TZ Johnson is down to 54% of the routes and Sterling Shepard at 40. So Tez's involvement is in the 50%
12:30range right now. So you need a big play, you need a touchdown. Uh he's not someone that's running even close to
12:35every route here. So the matchup looks good on paper, but overall it's he's a really tough start right now. It's really tough to pull the trigger. So
12:41he's between the shaky flex and the rather not tier. I think Devon is actually like a decent start this week.
12:46I'm not going to say he's a dub start, but he is one running every single route and the matchup is good. And if they
12:51decide to look at the tape from last week and say like, you know, how do we slow down a go to Vele again? Don't hate
12:56that either. So Veil is going to go into the shaky flex here is definitely an option this week if you are desperate.
13:01McMillan, even if he plays, that's not someone you want your lineup. It more so just hurts everybody else. Evans is the
13:05other one. If he ends up getting activated, that's a tough one. It wasn't like a serious ligament lower body injury. It was the collarbone thing. So
13:13like I I think he'll probably be close to fullish strength. I think I would probably just move him into the dub flex
13:18tier. I always take a little bit of room for pessimism first game back in case they want to like wind them up, give
13:23them 50 60% of the routes instead of, you know, a full slate right now. But, um, yeah, that's where we'll settle.
13:29Moving on to Pittsburgh at Baltimore.
13:32They are in Baltimore. They are six point favorites, 42 and a half point total here. We've got Lamar not playing his best ball, but I also think, you
13:39know, Zay Flowers, while not getting a ton of volume, there is a good matchup here. Pittsburgh second most fantasy points allowed to the wide receiver
13:46position. They were also an OPI call away from having, you know, a 50-yard touchdown connection last week. So, I think Zay Flowers is still very much in
13:53the dub flex here. His line is at 57 and a half receiving yards. Vegas still believes. So, I'm going to follow Vegas
13:59and we're going to believe along with them. Dick Maf is going right into the shaky flex here as he's kind of been all
14:04year. Not getting the volume, not getting big plays, not getting targets downfield. Aaron Rogers is super banged up right now. Oh yeah, I just don't want
14:11anything to do with that Pittsburgh passing offense. Seattle at Atlanta. So we've got a 7-point game in favor of Seattle. 44 and a half point total
14:21playing in Atlanta. JSN of course is a must start. Everybody else in this game is not really intriguing to me. Cooper
14:28Cup's line at 29 and a half. Rashijah Heat has gotten almost nothing going. So I mean those two are very very shaky
14:34options here and probably deserve to be in the rather not tier. On the flip side, you've got Drake London who started off the week with a DNP, which
14:42is not a good start to the week. Uh we'll see if he progresses to a limited practice tomorrow or today or whatever.
14:48And maybe he suits up, but this is a tough matchup either way. So, we will progress as if he is not going to play
14:54in this one. And that makes Darnell Mooney a really tough start. I mean, we saw last week what his floor is like the
14:58week prior. He had a good game. He's going to run all the routes and he'll get some targets, but at the end of the
15:02day, he's definitely not a dub flex.
15:03He's someone that you're like hoping stays on the field 100% of the time. And then Kirk Cousins just chooses to kind
15:08of pepper him that week instead of a Kyle Pittz game. But the matchup is bad either way you slice it. Moving to
15:14Tennessee at Cleveland. A 33 12 point total here. Uh insane. Lowest of the year I believe up to this point. That's
15:22like literally a preseason overunder, which is not surprising given like these teams rosters are like what good rosters run out in a preseason game. So you've
15:31got Cleveland as 4 and 1/2 point favorites, 33 and 12 point total here.
15:34on paper should be a great match up but Shadar Sanders throws for you know 140 yards a game which makes almost no one
15:40in I mean we could kind of just skip through this game I don't think there's anyone that you're looking at in serious
15:45fashion to throw into your lineup here so like Jerry Judy they connect on that deep ball he has a good game but like if
15:51you throwing Jerry Judy into your lineup right now in week 14 you got you got trouble let's just line the rather knots
15:56here with this entire game there you go now we've populated it Washington at Minnesota we've got Minnesota at home two and a half point favorites here. 42
16:06and a half point total. Storyline of this game, I think for the most part, would be the quarterback situation. JJ McCarthy will be returning to play QB
16:13for the Vikings. Good news, bad news, I don't know. Uh I can't imagine that they don't give Jefferson at least like six
16:19plays designed for him in this one. So, the matchup is phenomenal. As you can see, all green across the board. The
16:25quarterback play is going to be abysmal.
16:27I am still of the ilk that if I'm looking across the board here, I like him more than my dub flex plays. I like
16:35him probably less than these guys here, but I think I'd rather throw him into the feels good category because the matchup is so great. And after a bad
16:42game like that, there's just no way that their offense is not something that is just so Justin Jefferson focused this week. So, I expect him to get the
16:51opportunities. Whether or not they are catchable opportunities, who knows? But if I got Jefferson, this is the this is the matchup that you've kind of been
16:57like, "All right, he has to perform here. He doesn't get it done here." I don't know how you could ever play him
17:03again, to be honest. But Jefferson for me is probably going to be like a, you know, a top 20ish guy, top 18 guy in my
17:09rankings this week. Tara McLaren, he's interesting cuz he's coming off of a big return game. scored a touchdown, got a ton of targets, had a lot of production
17:17with Marcus Mariota in his first real game back, you know, and now having the good game, like he came back from injury
17:22earlier in the year, but then ended up reinjuring it, not having a good game, and it was just like a shaky return
17:27stint that he made. And now coming back first game back, having a very strong return makes you confident going forward that at least we're getting like the
17:34Terry of old. Whether or not the offense can hold up, whether or not Marcus Mariota is going to throw for more than
17:39160 yards, different story here. Tough match up against Minnesota. second fewest fantasy points allowed to the wide receiver position. You know, a lot
17:46of that is just like make or break. They blitz so often. So, it's like, can your man beat man coverage? Of course, Terry
17:51can. Can Marcus Mariota deliver a good ball? You know, I I think Terry's kind of in that like dub flex range. I think
17:58he's probably closer towards the bottom of it, but I think the conversations of like Terry versus Michael Pitman are very warranted. It's two good players,
18:04two tough matchups. How much do we trust the quarterback right now? I'm not expecting Jaden Daniels to return. Could be wrong on that one, but I I would
18:11expect it to be Marcus Mariota again.
18:13But pretty tough matchup, but we also just saw them deliver against the Denver Broncos. So, outside of that, yeah, I mean, Debo will be relatively involved.
18:20Jordan Addison, I don't know how you can trust either of these guys. I think both of them are probably going to go into
18:24the shaky flex tier. Their lines are 37, 35. We're not expecting much out of either of them. Of course, they could
18:31always kind of just like pop or score a touchdown. But Denver at Las Vegas here.
18:35We've got Denver a 7 and a half point favorites in Las Vegas. 40 and a half point total here. Courtland Sutton. I I
18:42feel good about Courtland Sutton. The match up is great. As you can see, green across the board against the Raiders defense, which at this point I feel like
18:47just has to be so defeated, so demoralized. Troy Franklin, this is kind of an interesting one cuz Troy Franklin is still obviously the number two here
18:55in terms of Vegas lines. 35 and a half receiving yards, three and a half receptions. So, a clear tier down from
19:00Courtland Sutton, a clear tier up from Pat Bryant, who's at 25 and a half to two and a half. But when we actually
19:06look at the snap counts, when we look at the routes run for the Broncos receivers last week, Pat Bryant topped Troy
19:12Franklin for the first time this year.
19:14It was 83% for Courtland Sutton, 77% for Pat Bryant, and just 67% for Troy Franklin. And targets per outr run, 19%
19:22for Pat Bryant, 9% for Troy Franklin. So Franklin, I don't want to say he's being phased out cuz obviously a oneweek
19:27sample size, anything could flip. There could have just been something in the game script where they were like, "Ah, we kind of like Pat Bryant for taking
19:33advantage of this defense over uh what Troy Franklin brings to us." But I do think it's worth noting and if Troy
19:38Franklin becomes a 65% route guy, you know, if you just look on paper, you say, "Oh, Troy Franklin has had some big
19:44games going against the Raiders, great matchup." Like I think you can make the argument to throw him into the dub flex
19:48tier. But if we're looking at the recent trends and Pat Bryant, you know, he was a day two pick for the Broncos. He was a
19:54guy that I liked coming out of college.
19:56He is a guy that's now getting more involved. Like a rookie day two pick second half of the year. They're starting to get more and more involved.
20:02Like I I think that Pat Bryant could impact Troy Franklin more than people realize. So Franklin's going to go into the shaky flex tier for me. You know,
20:10probably around where like the Tom Kennedys, the John Mechis are because the matchup is good. But know that Franklin's going to run way fewer routes
20:16than a guy like John Mchi is before you throw him into your lineup. Pat Bryant, you know, he's he's not having huge huge
20:21fantasy days, but he's he's a guy to keep an eye on. Trey Tucker match up against uh Denver. I want no part of
20:27that with Patrick Certan back. Chicago at Green Bay. We've got Green Bay as 6 and a half point favorites in Lambo. 44
20:35and a half point total here. This is an awesome game. Interesting game. Chicago obviously the number one seed in the NFC
20:40North coming off of a game which they just bullied the Philadelphia Eagles.
20:44Chicago passing game is just insanely inconsistent though. Caleb Williams is making insane plays and the same drive will be one of the most inaccurate
20:52quarterbacks you've ever seen. So very schizophrenic passing offense here. So for Chicago, I don't know how you could feel good about starting any of these
20:59guys. Like Rome is the one on paper, was the one early on in the year and you always want to leave hope for him to
21:04like get back to that, but I mean his receiving yardage line in Vegas is at 37 and a half. It's the same as Jordan
21:10Addison with JJ McCarthy. It's below Chris Godwin. It's right above Troy Franklin. It's gotten bad. So, realistically, I don't know how you how
21:18you can trust any of these Chicago receivers as anything more than a shaky flex. Christian Watson on the other side is someone who's becoming like a a beast
21:27in this Packers offense and Jordan Love's number one target. Now, how I feel about Watson is going to highly depend on who is back for the Green Bay
21:35Packers this game because we do have Jaden Reed back to a limited practice.
21:40His practice window obviously open. We have Matthew Golden back to a limited practice here. So, it does look like it's trending for both of those guys to
21:47make their returns. Dantavian Wixs is coming off of a big game. And it's not like I expect them to be the alphas or I
21:53expect them to overtake Watson. The problem is when you have this receiving room of Watson and Dobs and Matthew Golden and Jaden Reed and Dantavian
22:01Wixs, you are just naturally going to see a decline in routes run, right? And if you're Christian Watson and you go
22:07down from 88 to like 77 and all these players have like a target per run rate, which is important when you're splitting
22:14snaps of, you know, 19 to 20 21%. Like you need to capitalize on the big plays.
22:20And that's where I get a little bit of concern with Christian Watson this week.
22:23Like overall, he's been great. The matchup on paper looks good, but they did get Jaylen Johnson back last week, the Chicago secondary. Jaylen Johnson,
22:30Kyler Gordon got back. So they are pretty much at full strength in their secondary. Jaylen Johnson is a very very good quarterback and I would expect him
22:37to line up against Christian Watson pretty often. So Watson, despite how he's been playing the last few weeks and the connection with Love, if Golden and
22:43Jaden Reed both return, he's definitely going to go into the dub flex category more so than the feels good category for
22:48me. Like I do think he definitely deserves to be in your lineup. But I do think, you know, there's there's reasons
22:53for concern. Dos has kind of just like fallen completely off the face of the earth since Watson has returned. He scored the touchdown, but his
22:58involvement is just not great. Other than that, uh if Jay Reed plays, I could throw him into the shaky flex category.
23:03I only expect him to run 50 to 60% of the routes and first game back from a very long layoff. So don't really want
23:09him in my lineup right away. Rams at the Cardinals. So we've got the Rams a 7 and a half point favorites in Arizona 47 and
23:15a half point total. Puka must start.
23:17Devonte Adams must start. Love that line of 54 and a half receiving yards for him. We took that last week in our big
23:23day parlay and we cashed. And then on the flip side, we've got Marvin Harrison starting the week off with a DNP because
23:28of that heel injury. I don't know. He was limping a lot at the end of the game. didn't look great for his week 14
23:34status. So, I would expect him to probably miss this one. So, we'll see if he returns to a practice today or
23:40tomorrow. If he doesn't play, Michael Wilson becomes a highly targeted player again. I know the matchup is bad against the Rams, but I just expect Wilson to
23:48get, you know, another 10 plus targets in this game. So, despite going against the Rams, I mean, he's going to go into
23:52the feels good category. I think if you have him on your team and Marvin Harrison Jr. misses, he has to be in
23:57your lineup for the most part. I think that makes Greg Dorch um a shaky flex play, but it should be noted that Greg
24:03Dorch, I believe, was a DMP on Wednesday as well with a chest injury. So, he's questionable for the game right now.
24:11That's something to just keep an eye on.
24:12Moving to Sunday Night Football, we've got Houston at Kansas City, 41 12 points total. Kansas City is three and a half
24:18point favorites in this one. Uh we are in Arrowhead. We've got Rashi Rice going against, you know, probably top two defense in the NFL, the Houston Texans
24:27here. a lot of red across the board.
24:28Don't really care. He's a must start for me. On the flip side, we have CJ Shrad return last week to a a good yardage
24:34game. Didn't convert on the touchdowns.
24:36Nico Colin did get in for a rushing touchdown, so he ended up saving his day. But he's, you know, he's got a
24:41relatively tough matchup. Passing game is a little bit inconsistent, but I mean, he's somewhere right in between that like mustart and feels good
24:46category. Obviously, you have Nico Collins on your team, you're going to put him into your lineup. Everybody else in this game is a shaky flex or worse to
24:53me. Xavier Worthy's just been kind of ass since Rashi Rice has returned. Jaden Higgins has been good running routes but still not topping like 60% of the
25:01routes. So until we see him as like a full-time player, it's a little bit hard to trust him despite him having a pretty
25:06high floor over the last like month or so. It's a tough matchup. I I I I need to see more full-time upside from Jaden
25:12Higgins before I feel comfortable in a shitty matchup on the road throwing him into my lineup. Last game of the slate,
25:18we got Monday Night Football, Philly at the Los Angeles Chargers. And the biggest story line right now, of course, is whether or not Justin Herbert is
25:24playing. He had the surgery on his fractured hand. They got screws. They got nails. They got a plate. They got that dude's got a full dinner wear set
25:32inside of his hand right now. He says his plan is to play on Monday. That is far from guaranteed. We don't know if
25:39he's going to play. Obviously, Tre Lance would be the quarterback if Justin Herbert does not play. I think if Justin Herbert does play, it's going to change
25:46their offense quite a bit. Like, I think they'll have to go full shotgun, full pistol. Yeah, I I I think they'll be
25:51limited a little bit and it does make me a little bit shaky about the passing options here. Lad Mani I expect to
25:58continue to have the highest target share in this offense. This is a tough matchup. I I'd assume he's going to see
26:03a decent amount of Cooper Deene which is not an overly easy matchup, but I think ultimately this is a 40 and a half point
26:09total. You know, beginning of the year you would imagine both of these offenses are going to be really explosive.
26:14Obviously that has not come to fruition.
26:16So, they're in LA. LA three-point underdogs with a 40 and a half point total. Really, really, really low. So, I think the way I'm looking at this is
26:24matchup is tough for Philly as well. You know, dead last in fantasy points allowed to the wide receiver position, the LA Chargers defense is. So, I think
26:31AJ Brown is coming off of a monster game obviously and he's been a lot better over the last few weeks than he was uh
26:36you know, prior to that. So, he's getting really involved. They are trying to run the offense through him. The offensive line can't run block for [ __ ]
26:42So, they continue to have to turn to him. Do I feel great about him? Like not really to be honest. Does he deserve to
26:48be in the same conversation as [ __ ] Jesse Jefferson with JJ McCarthy? Yeah.
26:51So, I'm going to throw him into like the feels good category, but definitely not the very very tippy top of it. I think
26:57Dvonte Smith has earned a dub flex anointing. What's the like what's the verbiage of of anoint anointing him?
27:04Anointage. We're going to use anointage.
27:06I'm going to throw Lad Mani into the dub flex category as well. So, again, tough matchup. Herbert ailing a little bit,
27:12but I do expect him to have the highest target share. And then you got Keenan and Quint Johnson both going to the
27:16shaky flex tier. I'd still rather attach myself to to Justin Herbert as a quarterback than a lot of these guys who
27:21have, you know, either bad matchups, shitty quarterback play, not running a ton of routes. Like I I'd probably rather at the end of the day take that
27:28outlook over the outlook of these other guys down here. But if Tre Lance plays, then it's kind of all bets off the
27:33table. And there's almost no telling what they're going to do with that type of offense. Should be noted as well.
27:39Omar Hampton, it looks like he's going to suit up. We definitely don't have a 100% concrete answer on that, but if
27:45they got Hampton and Vidal, you'd imagine they go with a pretty runheavy approach here, especially after seeing how Philly was spanked by the Chicago
27:52Bears on the ground as well. So that is all the wide receivers for week 14.
27:57Let's go into poster mode for you hoes.
27:59So you can see everybody in the mustar feels good dub flex, shaky flex categories. This is how I am looking at
28:06the week. This is how my emotions have placed these players into their tears.
28:10All right, so I hope this was helpful.
