00:00
So now quarterback, here's where you have to you have to win on on Sunday here.
00:04
And again, this is the Sunday slate here that we're looking in Daily Fantasy.
00:07
So none of the players playing on Saturday eligible for this.
00:11
So we do have two of the top fantasy wide receivers playing.
00:15
Lamar Jackson already went, so he's not here.
00:18
But Josh Allen 8,500.
00:19
I would guess he'll be very heavily owned.
00:22
Jalen Hurts 7,500, but he is unlikely to play.
00:25
So it could be Kenny Pickett who we'll talk about here in just a minute.
00:29
Baker Mayfield at 6,900.
00:30
Sam Darnold at 6,400.
00:32
Jordan Love, 62.
00:34
Richardson at 59.
00:36
Tua at 58.
00:38
Oof.
00:39
Like if you're not using Josh Allen this week on the Sunday slate, George.
00:44
I mean, I'm kind of like looking at Baker Mayfield.
00:47
Like I think I have to use Baker Mayfield here.
00:49
I don't really trust any of the matchups this week.
00:52
Yeah, once again, you and I are on the same wavelength.
00:53
Again here, Baker Mayfield would be that second choice.
00:56
I think I can make an argument for Darnold or Love.
00:59
All right, I think I could make that argument, but I bet Baker's
01:01
going to be my choice, Doug.
01:02
Has a great matchup here.
01:03
We saw Baker run a lot against the Cowboys, right?
01:06
Boy, be nice.
01:07
He would add that to his game.
01:08
Get the 34 yards rushing again.
01:10
That would be sweet.
01:11
Nice little extra points there, but Baker be the guy I'm going
01:13
to look at here as well.
01:14
Josh Allen, by the way, one thing to be careful of.
01:17
Both of those don't have to play for.
01:18
All right, they're done.
01:19
All right, don't get me wrong.
01:20
Allen's going to play.
01:22
The question is...
01:22
He always plays him, that guy.
01:24
McDermott, he never takes him out, ever.
01:26
Even in those clinching situations.
01:30
And he's going to play, but if I'm McDermott, I'm telling you,
01:32
Josh, do you want to run?
01:33
That's fine.
01:35
Hey, don't put your head down and you slide.
01:37
Don't take any unnecessary hits.
01:38
You do take unnecessary hits.
01:39
I'm pulling you.
01:40
All right, there's no read.
01:41
This game doesn't mean anything.
01:42
Beating the Jets, winning the MVP, not winning the MVP.
01:45
There's no one that he's playing for.
01:46
He's ready to try to win the MVP award.
01:48
Super Bowl.
01:49
That's all Butler should be playing for, a Super Bowl.
01:51
You know, so they need to be very, very careful here.
01:53
He'll play the entire game, but remember, he does have the
01:56
fractured hand.
01:57
He's got a banged up shoulder.
01:58
I mean, you can make an argument here that he should be playing
02:01
more than a half, three quarters, especially if he's
02:03
taking hits.
02:04
Yeah, but again, he always plays.
02:06
He's, the Buffalo has clinched before and they just, and
02:09
McDermott just plays those guys for some reason.
02:11
He just does it, like to cheat.
02:12
Like Reed, you know, is going to bench everybody on the Chiefs
02:14
next week against Denver, but he just does not.
02:17
All right.
02:18
So, if it's not one of those, can we find a diamond in the
02:21
rough here?
02:23
Aaron Rodgers, 5700, Bryce Young, 56.
02:27
Maybe pick it for the unknown at 55.
02:30
Cooper Rush will be a no for me at 54.
02:32
Carr, he's banged up.
02:33
Rattler, 5300.
02:36
I probably like Mac Jones above the last three we just talked
02:39
about.
02:41
Not a lot of answers for me here.
02:43
I mean, the Cleveland's quarterback situation is a mess
02:46
too. Raiders quarterback is a mess.
02:49
O'Connell, I guess.
02:50
I may just take a shot with Pickett here.
02:53
Just see.
02:55
Pickett will be better.
02:56
He'll be better.
02:57
He'll have a week of practice.
02:58
He'll be better.
02:59
But once again, the weather here is going to be brutal here.
03:01
Felder is not going to be nice.
03:02
They're going to want to give a lot of rushes to Barkley here.
03:04
See if he can get, at least get close to the record.
03:07
I don't think he will be because Dallas will not respect
03:09
Pickett.
03:09
They'll, they'll try and stack the box to keep Barkley in
03:12
check here.
03:13
I think the guy I would look at here, Mac Jones, I don't mind
03:15
by the way.
03:16
Take a look.
03:16
Once again, these are all dark boards here, but Bryce Young
03:18
has looked better.
03:19
He ran the ball also last week for over 60 yards.
03:22
They should be trailing in this game.
03:23
So he should be throwing the ball quite often here.
03:26
So I don't mind that.
03:27
You want to go with A-Rod against Buffalo?
03:29
All right.
03:30
Once again, we talked about Devonta Adams.
03:32
He's been good, but it seems like one touchdown to Adams
03:35
and not much else.
03:36
So that's one thing you got to worry about there.
03:37
I think I would either go with your boy, Mac Jones, or I
03:39
go with Bryce Young.
03:41
Okay.
03:42
Well, I think I would probably just have to go Baker Mayfield
03:46
if I didn't want to spend up with Josh Allen there.
03:49
I really can't find any other options that I trust.
