00:00Joe, this next one involves the quarterbacks. Jacoby Brissett, you've talked about this Arizona

00:04and Los Angeles game. Or Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville and Indianapolis, we've talked

00:08about how that AFC South is turning out. Where do you lean? Jacoby Brissett, here we go. Since

00:14week six, QB7, QB12, QB10, QB10, QB4, QB8, QB8. What else? What do we need? What do we need?

00:22He's a QB1 every single week. I know the Rams are great. Trevor Lawrence, last two weeks,

00:27has played well. So credit to Trevor Lawrence. He's been a QB1 in those games too. Indianapolis,

00:32he's very startable this week, but I'm still going to play Brissett. Even when the matchups

00:35aren't in his favor, he's still putting up massive fantasy points. So I have to go that route again.

00:40All right. This next one comes with offensive players that are near one another, independent

00:45of their offensive position. We have wide receiver 47 is Devon Valley for New Orleans against Tampa

00:51Bay. Or running back 36 is Bayshall Tootin, Jacksonville and Indianapolis. Which way should

00:56I lean? I'm going to go with Devon Valley here. Shuck has played okay. Not great, but Shuck has

01:02been all right. And he has seen 15 targets in the last two weeks with Tyler Shuck. And they are playing

01:07Tampa, a team that you can throw the ball on. And I understand it's a road game. I get all that,

01:11but I think it's the target volume that's so intriguing for me with him. He had a big game

01:15against Miami, but again, that's against Miami. However, I think, you know, when you're in a

01:19situation where the weather's not an issue and Tyler Shuck can go out there and throw the football

01:22and, you know, you're looking at Bailey coming off an eight catch game for 93 yards and a touchdown.

01:27Clearly, you know, Devon Valley is getting the confidence of Tyler Shuck. Chances are they had

01:32a lot of practice time when they were working behind the original starting crew. And I think

01:37that's something that matters and shows up as well. So a lot of scenarios here today, when you're

01:42looking at some of these players and trying to get the right players in, and that's, that's what's

01:47all about right now is making these right decisions to get in the playoffs. And I know a lot of

01:50teams are on the bubble and that is one of those things, Matt, do you have any bubble teams? Are

01:54you somebody that's clinched your playoff spots or are you fighting for any leagues this week?

01:59In most of my leagues, I'm comfortable, but there is one that is contingent upon what Tampa's defense

02:05does. And I have a choice between Dalton Kincaid or the kid from the jets. I have picked up Wilson

02:11to take advantage of he and Brissette's relationship. So yeah, there is one team that is, that is heavily

02:17weighing on a lot of those players. Now, before we get to the break and we do the

02:20waiver wire ads, I wanted to ask you, is there an upset special that jumps out to you today that

02:25perhaps wagers can look at? I'm sorry, could you say that one more time, Matt? I missed that.

02:30An upset special that might be jumping out at you that wagers can look at.

02:34Yes, upset special. For me this week, it's the Jacksonville Jaguars. I mean, here we go again.

02:40It's just every single time. And I mentioned earlier that the Jaguars are a team that,

02:45you know, typically rubbed me the wrong way and take money out of my account, which I don't love,

02:50but I'm definitely right about this thing with the schedule. And I think sometimes there's,

02:54there's something about getting a new voice and Liam Cohen's a new voice and things are a little

03:00different now in Jacksonville. And I still don't know if Liam Cohen is a great head football coach,

03:03but sometimes you just need a fresh start. The Jags have gotten that. And I feel like to a certain

03:08extent, we've kind of gotten a scenario here where, you know, you're seeing the Colts start to get a

03:13little exposed here, a team that, you know, got off to a rocket start, but how often have we seen

03:17that time and time again, these teams get off to amazing starts to the year and to fade a little

03:21bit down the stretch here when things get tight and they get tested and that's starting to happen

03:25to the Colts a little bit. I think the Colts are on shaky ground and Jacksonville has again,

03:30nothing to lose playing fast and loose. Like Joe Burrow is going to play today. Dangerous spot.
