00:00Bengals and Bills.

00:02Man, the Bengals were the biggest surprise of Thanksgiving night.

00:04They got Joe Burrow back and certainly made the most of that.

00:08Jamar Chase, fire him up.

00:09Tee Higgins will be back.

00:10Think you've got to play him too.

00:11Chase Brown probably don't have a better option there.

00:15And for Buffalo, you know the deal.

00:16It's playing Josh Allen.

00:17It's playing Shakir.

00:18And, of course, it is playing James Cook.

00:20You want to go tight end here?

00:22Anybody that I'm missing?

00:24That is the question, right, of a Buffalo's Kincaid.

00:27Are you going to start an interview?

00:28He's questionable, but are you going to start an interview if he does play?

00:30It's going to be match-up dependent here.

00:32See what else you've got on your roster or what else you can pick up here.

00:35He's been out a couple of weeks.

00:36Don't know how much he'll be used on Sunday, so I would be careful here.

00:40But he has been a touchdown guy for Josh when he plays there,

00:44so something I would look at here.

00:45I don't think Shakir's an automatic play, by the way, but it is the Bengals.

00:48If you're not going to start him versus the Bengals,

00:50who are you going to start him versus?

00:52Yeah, agreed.

00:53All right, Seahawks and Falcons.

00:54This is pretty straightforward, too.

00:55Falcons announced that Drake London is not going to play again this week,

01:01so Darnell Mooney becomes a possibility.

01:04Kyle Pitts is a possibility.

01:06If you'd like to torture yourself on Sunday, you can do that.

01:09And then, obviously, you play Bijan Robinson.

01:11On the side of Seattle, you probably can play both running backs,

01:14especially with the bye this week.

01:15Charbonnet, Kenneth Walker, Jackson Smith in Jigba,

01:19and then Sam Darnold would be, what would you say, George Superflex, QB 14, 15, maybe?

01:27Would you go any further than that?

01:29I mean, you're starting, Sam.

01:31All right?

01:32At least you want to start.

01:32It is Atlanta.

01:33It's a decent matchup here.

01:35I'm looking at where I'm having my rankings now.

01:39Well, I am lower than that, by the way.

01:40I am at 17.

01:41So he is a Superflex guy or a two-quarterback league, whichever one you play in there.

01:46We have four teams off on bye.

01:48What are you losing here?

01:49Young, Dart, May, and Purdy.

01:53So there are some quarterbacks that you're missing here.

01:55I think there's an upside there.

01:56I do, but I think it's a game where Seattle wins.

01:58They control it.

01:58They don't have to throw the wall a thousand times.

02:00Walker, Charbonnet go, of course, here.

02:02A.J. Barnard, by the way, is another one of those tight ends, you know,

02:05that does catch some touchdowns here.

02:06I would probably start Kinkade over Barnard as we talked about those guys.

02:09Because Atlanta, you just said it, outside of Bajon,

02:14I don't know what else you're hoping for there.

02:16All right?

02:16No, I'll stay with Kinkade.

02:17Pitts probably does have to go.

02:19He is in my top ten.

02:21Steelers and Ravens.

02:23If this game is anything like it's been for the past eight to ten years,

02:27you better really take a close look at this.

02:29Now, I understand you've got to start Derrick Henry,

02:31and you probably have to start Jalen Warren.

02:35But Metcalf is a borderliner for me, George.

02:38Flowers becomes a borderliner for me a little bit.

02:42Andrews has been a little more active at tight end,

02:44and I guess, you know, obviously not going to sit Lamar Jackson,

02:46even though he hasn't thrown a touchdown pass in a month.

02:49But, I mean, with the exception of last year's game,

02:53if you look at the last ten times the team played,

02:5519-17, 16-14, 13-10, 20-13, 20-17,

03:00there's just never any offense in this game.

03:02Very true, right?

03:05It's the black-and-blue game, right?

03:06They beat each other up.

03:08I don't know if I would have the stones to sit Lamar, all right?

03:12He was, what, top three quarterback taken,

03:14maybe the number one quarterback taken.

03:16But you already said it.

03:17He hasn't done a touchdown pass in a month.

03:18I know he should have had two last week, right?

03:20Likely fumbled the ball as he's going into the end zone and went out.

03:23Blah, blah, blah.

03:24Isaiah Flowers should have had a touchdown.

03:26Poor officiating there.

03:28So, yeah, it's not all in him, but he's not running as much.

03:31This should be a defensive game here.

03:33I mean, I just thought Lamar or Sam Donald.

03:36I'd probably lean more Sam Donald.

03:37I think it's a bad chance for a higher upside there, a lot higher upside.

03:42So, but I can't believe I'm saying that.

03:44It hurts to say that.

03:45It just hurts to say that.

03:46But, yeah, he's not an automatic start for me.

03:48DK Metcalf, I'm not starting.

03:50No, it's not working out.

03:52Henry probably does.

03:53Sneaky pickup, by the way.

03:55Sneaky pickup.

03:56Keaton Mitchell.

03:57Somebody I kind of like.

03:58He's really the only explosive threat right now on Baltimore.

04:01You know, so if you're desperate at running back, if you're looking for a running back,

04:04you don't have anybody, whatever injuries, he might be somebody you might want to grab here.

04:08He won't get as many touches as Henry, but he has a much better chance of breaking on.

04:13Commanders and Vikings, we went into this game a little bit before.

04:16We'll just drive it home here from Minnesota.

04:19George and I are saying, essentially, if you have better options than Justin Jefferson,

04:23this may be the week to do it.

04:25You can't start anybody from Minnesota at running back, and you certainly cannot start Jordan

04:28Addison at wide receiver.

04:30Now, as far as Washington is concerned, George, they do get Daniels back.

04:33I think immediately he becomes a QB1, top 12 guy.

04:37Immediately, I put him in.

04:39Beyond that, it is also desperate in Washington, too.

04:42I kind of feel like there may be some points in this game, but the quarterbacking is so

04:47uncertain.

04:48Not seeing Daniels for five weeks and then having this McCarthy-Brosber back and forth.

04:55I feel like somebody who wins a daily fantasy contest is going to pick the right guy out

04:59of this matchup, but I just don't know who it is.

05:03That's fair.

05:04It's fair.

05:05You know, having Daniels come back does throw things into the blender a little bit.

05:09How's he going to play?

05:10Are they going to have to sign runs for him?

05:11Are they going to protect him, max protect?

05:13Not, you know, I don't know.

05:15I don't think he's necessarily quarterback one this week.

05:18I don't.

05:18I think he's another guy, you know, Daniels or Donald.

05:21I'd probably lean Donald for week one.

05:23I would probably trust Daniels more next week.

05:25This is week 14, so you might need to win this week to get into your playoffs.

05:29It's one where I would look at the matchup.

05:31Am I favored to win by a million?

05:32Fine.

05:33Go Daniels.

05:34If it's supposed to be close or I'm trailing, this is a rough decision for me here.

05:38I don't know what I would do here.

05:40I think I said I might go with somebody more like Donald here.

05:43And Daniels will be out there, by the way, in your free agent.

05:45Why?

05:45He was in a couple of leagues.

05:46I'd pick him up.

05:47But I'd pick him up more for next week than I did for this week.

05:49I would trust him a whole lot more there.

05:51They're playing in Minnesota.

05:52Minnesota does have a good defense.

05:54So I'd be careful here with Daniels.

05:57I'm not expecting big things, Greg.

05:58He's going to win for all people.
