00:00Let's move on to the tight end position here.

00:02Juwan Johnson is at Miami.

00:03He is one of maybe two or three offensive options for the Saints, if any.

00:08Or Dalton Schultz in the same Houston at Indianapolis game.

00:12Yeah, Dalton Schultz is another tough one, too.

00:14Again, both these guys are startable.

00:16The matchup against Indianapolis for Schultz is pretty good.

00:19You did see against Buffalo, all of a sudden it got quiet again.

00:22But at the same time, I think you're looking ahead and saying,

00:25all right, who gives me the best floor?

00:27And I think Juwan Johnson does a tight end.

00:29But Tyler Schultz has been okay.

00:31He hasn't been great by any stretch of the means.

00:34But he's made a couple plays when he's needed to.

00:36They're going against Miami.

00:38Now, here's the one thing I will say.

00:40Miami's defense has gotten better in these last couple weeks.

00:42Since they fired the GM, all of a sudden maybe people realize,

00:45hey, we might be out of jobs next year.

00:47We better start putting some good tape together for other teams

00:50to maybe be interested in us.

00:51And all of a sudden the defense has played a little bit better.

00:53Now, I think Juwan Johnson, if you look at what Tyler Schultz has taken over,

00:56those young QBs, they look for the checkdowns.

00:59They look for the tight end.

01:00You don't have Alvin Kamara in this game either.

01:02So he is out.

01:03We'll talk more about Devin Neal later in the show.

01:05But we also take him out of the passing game.

01:07It means a lot more of the underneath stuff is going to be Juwan Johnson.

01:10He had seven targets, caught six of them for 46 yards.

01:13In PPR, that's going to give you 10 points.

01:15Again, who's got more touchdown equity?

01:17Probably Dalton Schultz.

01:19But in terms of PPR floor, I think it's Juwan Johnson.

01:21I think he could easily, you know, the week before the bye,

01:24he was a four for four for 92 yards and he had a touchdown.

01:27So again, I'll always lean towards a better quarterback with the Houston Texans

01:31than Tyler Schuch.

01:33But at the same time, I think Juwan Johnson,

01:35because of the way that team is structured now,

01:37without Alvin Kamara playing this week,

01:39I think Juwan Johnson has a really good chance to give you a good floor.

01:42And he has enough touchdown equity to get you by.

01:44You know, he does have two touchdowns in his last three games.

01:48Yep.

01:48All right.

01:49We're talking to Joe P. Zappia,

01:50the author of the Fantasy Black Book.

01:51It is available right now.

01:54Joey P., my man, on the other side of the break,

01:57we're going to do some waiver wire questions.

01:59So at SportsCrete, at SportsCreteTV, get him in.

02:02But right now, we're talking start, sit.

02:04All right.

02:04Let's go over to New York for these next couple of ones.

02:07This first one is Jacoby Brissett, who's been great at Tampa,

02:10or Jackson Dart coming out of concussion protocol to start Monday night at New England.

02:15Joe, which way should I go?

02:17Again, both guys, very startable.

02:19But I think I'm going to lean towards Jacoby Brissett here.

02:21He's just a little bit safer.

02:23Jackson Dart, you have the risk, too,

02:24because he's coming out of concussion protocol to get hit again.

02:27You know, his style of play is pretty rough.

02:30Like, again, he comes out, he's in that blue tent,

02:32and next thing you know, he's out of that game.

02:33And I don't know if you can afford to have that happen.

02:35If you're looking at what Jacoby Brissett has done, too,

02:37in these last couple of weeks, since he's taken over the reins,

02:40it's pretty impressive.

02:41And I don't think a lot of people have realized this.

02:43So let's go back to week six for a moment.

02:4521.7 points.

02:47That was good for QB7.

02:4919.8 points.

02:50Good for QB12 that week.

02:5224.8 points.

02:53QB10.

02:5419 in week 10 against Seattle, a very tough defense.

02:57Still was QB10.

02:5923.9 against San Francisco.

03:02QB4.

03:03Jacksonville, 18.7, QB8.

03:06So he's basically been a QB1 every single week.

03:08And now he gets the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense

03:12that has not been great these last few weeks.

03:14So I'm going to go ahead.

03:15I'm going to start Jacoby Brissett.

03:16He's been a QB1.

03:17Jackson Dart, a little bit too risky for me

03:19when compared to Brissett.

03:21All right.

03:22We stay in beautiful New Jersey.

03:25Just picturesque and gorgeous.

03:27And if you can sense the sarcasm in my voice, I'm happy.

03:30All right, John Mechie III for the New York Jets

03:34has the Atlanta Falcons.

03:35Or is it Ramondre Stevenson, considering Travion Henderson's surge

03:40who needs RB 38 against the Giants?

03:43What we're doing here is a wide receiver 49 against a running back 38.

03:46Which one do I start?

03:47I like John Mechie here, especially in the PPR leagues.

03:51Look, John Mechie is a talented player.

03:53When Alabama was going to national championships a couple years ago,

03:56John Mechie was the guy that moved the chains.

03:58He was the possession-wide receiver in that offense.

04:00And Jameson Williams was the guy that was the big play,

04:03you know, take the top off the defense, playmaker,

04:05we need a big moment here guy.

04:08But Mechie was the one that was reliable in that sense

04:10that you just, you know, five yards, eight yards,

04:12just moving the chains, moving the chains.

04:14And then he goes to the Houston Texans at the time,

04:16an awful organization and team.

04:18And then he has the cancer diagnosis.

04:20And it's been like an uphill battle just to come back and play football.

04:23And now John Mechie's in the spot here with Tyron Taylor,

04:25where I like what he's doing here.

04:27And I thought it was a good pickup for them when the Jets did it.

04:29That first game that he played, really,

04:31when he started against New England, he got three of his three balls,

04:34seven targets last week, six catches for 65 and a touchdown.

04:37He's got a touchdown in each of those games with Taylor as well.

04:39So this one's clear for me.

04:41I'm staying away from Ramondre and I'm going John Mechie for sure.

04:43And I think Mechie's an interesting pickup too.

04:45If he's still available in your leagues,

04:47you should be looking to add him.

04:49He is under 50% rostered and he should not be.

04:52So John Mechie,

04:53another one of these guys that you should be adding this week for a stretch run.

04:56And if you have Amon Ross St. Brown,

04:57he's a really nice little, like a patchwork guy for week 14.

05:01Get ahead of things if you can.
