00:00Let's move on here. Next is a quarterback question. Jared Goff, the indoor cat at Soldier Field,

00:06anything but indoors. Or Jacoby Brissett, who's been really good, better than serviceable

00:11against the Rams? Yeah, you nailed it here, Matt. You said it. Jared Goff outside in the cold.

00:18No, thank you. I'm not going to look for that. I'm trying to find the best spot here where you

00:23can even go back to this season where it was, but he hasn't played a lot of outdoor games in

00:28cold weather this year. Like the road games for him were like the Rams, Washington early in the

00:34year, which he played very well. But then against Philly, obviously he struggled. He only had 13

00:37fantasy points. He was QB 17. But at this stage here, I'm going to go with Jacoby Brissett.

00:42You're looking at the Arizona Cardinals. Again, not much to play for, but you're looking for the

00:48Rams who are going to be sitting a lot of guys. So I think Brissett's going to have a lot of

00:50opportunities. I think Brissett's the way I want to go. And he's also played very well. And he's put

00:55a lot of good tape together for the Arizona Cardinals or another team. We know Kyler Murray,

00:59you know, wasn't going to play the rest of the season. What Kyler Murray trade proposals look

01:04like this offseason where he lands will be fascinating. It's not a great quarterback class

01:09coming out this year. Fernando Mendoza is going to be at the top of it. Maybe Dante Moore is going

01:13to be there as well. But outside of those two guys and those two guys, I think have some question

01:17marks around them. There's no slam dunk guy this year. There's no Trevor Lawrence. There's nobody

01:22that you look at and go, yep, that's the guy. That's the number one. That's no Caleb, Jaden

01:26Daniels, Drake, May kind of class. This ain't it. So Jacoby Brissett, I mean, he could end up in a

01:31spot, let's say, like the Minnesota Vikings. If the Vikings had Jacoby Brissett playing steady

01:35quarterback all year with that defense, the way they played the last half of the season, imagine

01:40where the Vikings might be. They might be a playoff fringe team right now. So I think Brissett

01:44certainly did a good job of getting himself into that conversation next year to be somewhere else.

01:48Maybe it's a Carolina. Maybe that's the guy they bring in to push Bryce Young.

01:52Jacoby Brissett is going to be somewhere next year with a chance to play every week. So we'll

01:56see where that landing spot is in 2026. And this is another week where you can put some good tape

02:00together for that potential. Food for thought for the hungry mind. Thank you so much, Joey P.

02:07Don't put your spoon away just yet. We have another one here, and it's a defense question.

02:10In a game that has implications for a team that isn't involved in Atlanta, their defense against New

02:16Orleans, and Tampa's going to be watching that game. Or Steelers defense against Baltimore.

02:21Steelers need to win this thing, man.

02:24They do. They do. But again, there's always that danger you're facing there as well of

02:29Derrick Henry, right? What can Derrick Henry do for you? Atlanta Falcons coming off a 16-point

02:34performance against the Los Angeles Rams. They are at home here in this one against the New

02:38Orleans Saints. So that's a good matchup there for them potentially. Now, Tyra Shucks played

02:42very well, but Chris Olave banged up from this game. They're down to Audra Gestime, who's played,

02:46but again, New Orleans continues to play well despite some of the injuries and despite the

02:50issues. I told you last week, I want to write in the New Orleans Saints. I don't want the

02:54Panthers in the playoffs. I don't want the Buccaneers in the playoffs. Give me the Saints.

02:58I feel like they've earned it. They've played some good football here down the stretch.

03:02But Pittsburgh Steelers at home against Baltimore in a very excited state. I will go with that

03:07crowd. I'll go with the Pittsburgh Steelers, who, by the way, are farther down on the depth

03:11chart this week in the rankings for defenses. But regardless, I'll take the Steelers and hope

03:17that they can show up and show out in a very important game here where the winner moves on

03:21and the loser goes home.
