00:00Here, the Bucs secondary is a topic of discussion and allows for some underneath stuff here.
00:09Jake Ferguson for Dallas here, could be in play.
00:12Or is it Kyle Pitts?
00:13Now, Michael Penix will be under center.
00:14We know with young quarterbacks, they'll often look at a nice little safety valve.
00:17Could Pitts be that guy here against the Giants?
00:20Joe Ferguson or Pitts, what says you?
00:22Man, there is a morbid curiosity that makes me want to say Pitts because young quarterbacks
00:27typically check down real quick, look for the tight ends, look for the quick outlet
00:31passes.
00:32So that's where Kyle Pitts could shine, especially against the New York Giants.
00:34I think Ferguson's the safer play against the Tampa secondary.
00:37Tampa's a team you could throw on and Cooper Rush has had some decent moments there.
00:41So because we're in the playoffs and because I don't want to get shut out here, I'm going
00:46to just try to play it safe here with Ferguson, take my maybe underwhelming floor because
00:52the downside of Kyle Pitts is a much lower floor because I really, none of us know what
00:57the Penix start's going to look like.
00:58A couple preseason snaps is not enough to go on here for us to see what Michael Penix
01:03looks like in week 16 in the NFL.
01:05So intrigued, definitely excited to see what Kyle Pitts might be with Michael Penix.
01:12But at the end of the day, I'm going to lead towards Ferguson in the matchup there too.
01:14Just can't do it yet.
01:16All right.
01:17Moving on here.
01:18A quarterback question.
01:19Tua against San Francisco or is it Matthew Stafford at the Jets?
01:23This has to be a set up question here because I mean, the lean is extreme for me and I know
01:28I see Joe's evil smile when we're talking about the Jets, but it's a cold day here.
01:32It's a cold day in New York, Joe, but what do you got?
01:35It is.
01:36Look, Tua is higher ranked and I understand that.
01:39Waddle is out.
01:40San Francisco is a team that's kind of clinging on there, but you know, just something about
01:46Matthew Stafford with something on the line that I want to go there.
01:49I want to go with Matthew Stafford, knowing that the playoffs are close.
01:53Matthew Stafford's time in the league, I think, is borrowed right now.
01:57I know last week was so bad.
01:59He has been up and down.
02:01He has had just a run through the last couple of weeks, QB20, then QB5, QB8, QB22, QB9,
02:07QB26.
02:08So it's a lot of up and down.
02:11If you are afraid of the variants, I understand, and Tua at home is the safer play.
02:17So I think right now, if you are a team that has withstood some of the early games and
02:22you have Tua, you just play Tua.
02:24You take the points and you make it simple.
02:27But if you're playing from behind, I think it's intriguing to take a look at Matthew
02:31Stafford and what he might be able to do because that Jet secondary just has not played very
02:34well.
02:35They've given up points to Matt Jones.
02:36They've given up points all over the place.
02:38I just have a feeling here that Matthew Stafford, with something to play for, is going to be
02:41dangerous and you're not going to get goose egg back-to-back weeks from Cooper Cup.
02:44I just don't see that happening.
02:45The problem is everybody is shaking out of their memory what they last saw of Matthew
02:50Stafford, and I get that.
02:51So Tua is the safe play.
02:52I think Stafford is the upside swing.
02:54All right, continuing on here.
02:57Oh, I love this one.
02:58This is great.
02:59Okay.
03:00Bryce Young has Arizona, or Michael Penix has the Giants here.
03:04So this is a great start-sit question.
03:06Now, for me, it's Young kind of is the devil I know, dare I say, and it's the devil I don't,
03:12but I am excited to see the devil I don't.
03:16So isn't that what the devil is supposed to do?
03:17He is the spirit of temptation.
03:18Joe, take it away.
03:21Once again, I think this is a floor-ceiling kind of thing.
03:23So in Superflex Leagues, if you're looking at a situation where you're in a good spot,
03:27you play Bryce Young, you take your points and get out because there's variance here
03:30with Penix.
03:31It could be great.
03:32It could be terrible.
03:33We don't know.
03:35If you are from behind already and you're in a spot where you're playing against Lamar
03:39Jackson and he's already crushing you and you're looking around, you're like, man, this
03:43is not a good situation for me right now, Penix is the big swing.
03:47That's the home-run swing because maybe he just shows up there against the Giants at
03:50home and just starts throwing 30, 40-yard passes all over the place.
03:55The next thing you know, we're all very excited and he has some rushing mobility too.
03:59But let's not pretend like Bryce Young hasn't been better because he has.
04:03He has been much better.
04:04He's at home.
04:05The Cardinals are a team that's reeling a little bit.
04:06So again, Penix is the home-run swing.
04:09I'll take the points and get out, try to get to the finals because the variance of Penix
04:14is huge.
