They’re going to run the football. But this is really red alert.” “And he didn’t get the practice the starting practice that week.” “I mean maybe Carolina gets the number two pick but they’ve got a top two pick coming their way from the Carolina Panthers.

- The Buffalo game may have weather concerns due to potential snow.

- James Conner, along with Joe Mixon, Damian Pearson, and Singletary, have difficult end of season schedules 47:13

- Last year, due to the team’s necessity, James Conner became heavily involved in the offense and was great for fantasy football 47:45
- But this season, with Kyler Murray returning and the team able to throw the ball more, these matchups are actually good for passing 47:50

“And so, James Conner to me, I think is a really bad play.”
Concerns about Kenneth Walker‘s Performance 48:34
- Kenneth Walker has big plays, but he is also dealing with a committee problem and ranks in the bottom five for yards after contact 48:34

Wide Receivers with Challenging Schedules 51:51
- Tyreek Hill, Jalen Waddle, Amari Cooper, Terry McLaurin, John Dodson, Kirk, and Ridley have challenging schedules ahead 51:55
- It is not advisable to expect these wide receivers, except for Tyreek Hill, to single-handedly win you the week 52:04

“Don’t expect these guys to win you the week…I think you can still put on your team as baseliners.”
Trading Amari Cooper for Marquis Hollywood Brown 53:04
- Amari Cooper has a bad playoff schedule with a rookie quarterback and tough matchups, making him a trade candidate 52:57

- The speaker believes that Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf, and Jackson Smith all have the potential for big playoff performances.
“The Seahawks have an amazing run. They play the 30th, the 31st, and the 28th best defenses against wide receivers. So Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf, even Jackson Smith and Jigba, those players I think have the potential for massive playoff performances.”
Mediocre players with good matchups 54:42
- The speaker discusses Carl Linsutton, Jerry Judy, and Marvin Mims as players with average performance who have decent schedules.
- They mention that Carl Linsutton has been scoring touchdowns consistently and could be a sneaky addition.

Players with great end-of-season schedules 55:29
- CeeDee Lamb, Brandin Cooks, and Hollywood Brown all have favorable matchups towards the end of the season.
- The speaker also mentions Cooper Cup and Robert Woods as potential league winners if Matthew Stafford is back.
“CDLAM, Brandon Cooks, they have a great end-of-season schedule, Buffalo, Miami, Detroit, Hollywood Brown, you mentioned it. Cooper Cup in Pukinacua, Washington, then New Orleans, and the Giants. Nice way to start the playoffs. If Matthew Stafford‘s back, that’ll be a really under the radar, league-winning type of addition.”
Texans’ receivers and their potential against the Titans 55:57
- The Texans’ receivers, including Nico Collins, Tank Dell, Noah Brown, and even Robert Woods, have the potential to perform well against the Titans.
“The Titans are not good against wide receivers, and the Texans have, this is why I’m not that afraid of CJ Stroud, because where the Titans get beat is the only place the Texans go. Like Nico Collins, Tank Dell, Noah Brown, even Robert Woods, they’re going to be able to get theirs against the Titans.”
Ravens’ wide receivers and their lack of trustworthiness 56:28
- The speaker expresses skepticism about starting Ravens’ wide receivers due to the team’s strong running game and Mark Andrews being the primary target.
- They believe the matchups for the Ravens are irrelevant.
“You can’t trust starting Ravens wide receivers right now. They run the ball too well, and Mark Andrews is their primary target. The matchups are irrelevant.”
Trade target: Diontae Johnson 56:51
- The speaker recommends targeting Deontay Johnson as a trade option.
- They predict that the Indianapolis Colts, Cincinnati Bengals, and Seattle Seahawks are all good offenses that can score against the Steelers’ defense.
- They believe Johnson is an affordable player with a good baseline performance for the fantasy playoffs.
“If there’s one target that I think is sneaky and easily acquirable after this last week, it would be Deontay Johnson. I think that the Indianapolis Colts, the Cincinnati Bengals, and the Seattle Seahawks are all good offenses that can score on the Steelers and bad defenses that can be thrown on. So Deontay Johnson to me is an affordable, acquirable, really good baseline guy through the playoffs.”
Tight ends with favorable schedules 57:15
- The speaker mentions Jake Ferguson, David Nijoku, Gerald Everett, and Pat Friarmueth.
- Jake Ferguson is regarded as a good option with a positive playoff schedule.

“Dalton Schultz…real bad…George Kittle…real bad for two weeks with Arizona and Baltimore…Evan Engrel…not good…Dallas Goddard…not healthy right now and doesn’t have good matchups coming up.”
Cole Kmet and Dalton Schultz as trade options 58:36
- The speaker mentions Colt Comett and Dalton Schultz as options for trades.
- They believe that both players have been performing well, making them attractive trade chips.
- Jake Ferguson is preferred over both of them.
“Colt Comett and Dalton Schultz…if you’re on the way to the playoffs and you can turn those into, you know, turn them into Jake Ferguson…I would much rather have Jake Ferguson than Colt Comett or Dalton Schultz.”
Targeting the Jets defense 59:26
- The speaker suggests targeting the New York Jets defense due to their favorable matchups against Miami, Washington, and Cleveland.
- They advise considering pairing them with another defense due to concerns about Miami in the first week of the playoffs.
“The defense is you want to target, the Jets…they play Miami, Washington, Cleveland. And they’re great. That one is, yeah, they’re great.”
Strategizing defense pickups for the playoffs 59:57
- The speaker recommends grabbing defenses based on their matchups for the first and second week of the playoffs.
- Rather than looking for defenses with favorable schedules for three weeks, they suggest focusing on the immediate playoff matchups.
“You look at who has the best schedules for the first week of the playoffs and the second week, and you grab a couple of defenses.”
Trade Targets for Fantasy Playoffs 01:00:04
- The Philadelphia Eagles defense is a target for week 16 because they play the New York Giants at home.
- The Chiefs, New England, and Las Vegas are also great defenses for fantasy playoffs.

Key Matchups for the Chiefs Defense 01:01:05
- The Chiefs defense has been performing well for fantasy football.
- The matchups against Aiden O’Connell, Jordan Love, and Gardner-Minshew are particularly enticing.
“The Chiefs defense has been so good for fantasy. They are turning the ball over, they are scoring touchdowns, they are sacking the quarterback.”
Defense Options for Fantasy Playoffs 01:01:57
- The Minnesota Vikings, Chicago, and Las Vegas are good defense options for the fantasy playoffs.
- The Cowboys defense may not be the best choice due to tough matchups against Buffalo, Miami, and Detroit.
“The Vikings have a great stretch run for… You’re looking at like Chicago, Las Vegas? Yep. Chicago, Las Vegas. They were the team that pairs perfectly with the Chiefs. You did… You picked them up.”
