00:00What are some of the things people need to focus on, or players, that they need to look
00:08out for with only a couple of weeks left before the Fantasy Playoffs?
00:11Yeah, well that's the thing, you've still got that huge bye week coming up in week 14
00:15and that's going to be massive, right, bypocalypse as we like to call it in the business.
00:19This particular week too, you've got some really good matchups, you know, you're looking
00:23for anybody always in the passing game against the Baltimore Ravens, they're the gift that
00:26just continues to keep on giving.
00:28So look for Justin Herbert this week in the Harball, as I like to call it, this weekend
00:33on Monday.
00:34Then you've got the Ladd-McConkie, you've got QJ, you've got all those guys you want
00:37to throw in there against Baltimore this week.
00:39And on the flip side too, Baltimore's been very good against the Runs, so J.K.
00:42Dobbins is a really tough start this week.
00:44Are you going to start him?
00:45Probably.
00:46Will you consider you're also going to be losing some touches here and there to Gus
00:50Edwards because it seems like he's been working himself back into that rotation.
00:54That's not the greatest recipe.
00:55We're in a tough spot here.
00:56If you are in win-now mode, you know, where you're trying to just win and stay alive to
00:59get in those playoffs, this is a time where you just throw everything to the wall.
01:02I think you'll like what's going on with guys like Jackson Smith and J.B.A.
01:05He seems to be going in the right path too.
01:07All of a sudden, you know, going from the boomer bus guy to a guy that's really starting
01:11to push things forward and kind of pushing Tyler Lockett to the side too and starting
01:15to realize in year two, all that potential and that high draft stock that he had.
01:20And you know, at this point too, you're just trying to get healthy.
01:23You need the healthy players out there more than anything.
01:25So looking at some of the playoffs, you can, if you have locked up spots, the best thing
01:30you can do is start looking ahead to those weeks, 15, 16, 17, try to pick up a defense
01:34that looks really good for that period of time and make sure that you have guys that
01:37are lined up in good matchups in those flex spots, because that's where those extra points
01:41come from.
01:42Are you willing to play Mike Evans this week?
01:45Are you not risking him for not being at full strength?
01:49It's a really good question.
01:50I think you have to play Mike Evans this week, not just because of the matchup, but also
01:55because you are in a bad spot here.
01:57You just lost Devonta Smith and other guys out.
01:59You might not have elite neighbors.
02:00And as I mentioned, you're already missing a bunch of guys with the bye weeks.
02:04So you have to throw Mike Evans out there.
02:06Think about Evans this year.
02:07You know, he's only got about 335 yards total.
02:10And I know he missed a bunch of games, but still the yardage total hasn't been great.
02:13He's been very touchdown dependent.
02:14I think you can see a lot of him in this game too.
02:16Kate Otten has really stepped up too.
02:18That's been one of the unheralded stories in a year where tight end looks so good going
02:23into the season for fantasy.
02:24It's been pretty much a disaster.
02:27And guys like Kate Otten have really saved a lot of teams off the waiver wire because
02:30he is seeing a ton of volume.
02:31He's on the field a lot.
02:32When you're on the field and you're getting targets, fantasy points usually come with
02:36it.
02:37He's been that guy that's really taken over in that void that's been abandoned by Chris
02:40Godwin, who has been on the IR.
02:42So quarterback play, it's been tough in fantasy this year with all the guys being injured
02:46or guys underperforming like Mahomes, Stroud.
02:49They haven't done a lot.
02:50Tua being injured.
02:51Love being injured now.
02:52Hurty being injured.
02:54Yeah, it's been really difficult.
02:57And on top of it, not just the injuries, but the bad play.
03:00I mean, Caleb Williams hasn't thrown a touchdown on four games.
03:03He basically left all the touchdown equity in London with him.
03:05He never came back to any of it.
03:07And it's the youth and inexperience of the position.
03:11And it's funny because, you know, you see guys who continue to, you know, go out there
03:15like Baker Mayfield coming off a good year last year and still getting it done.
03:18And you see some surprises like Bo Nix.
03:20I think a lot of people have pivoted.
03:21I'd be looking at Justin Herbert, Bo Nix.
03:24Those are those guys if you're looking for help in the quarterback position, those guys
03:28can help you down the stretch.
