| 0:00.0 | This is an I-Heart podcast. |
| 0:02.5 | Guaranteed human. |
| 0:06.4 | This is the late round podcast with your host, J.J. Zacharisa. |
| 0:15.9 | What's up, everyone? |
| 0:17.0 | It's J.J. Zacharisen. |
| 0:18.5 | In this episode 1068 of the late round fantasy football podcast, |
| 0:23.1 | thanks for tuning in. Week 14 Sleeper Show, it wasn't the best. There were some hits in there, |
| 0:28.3 | like Christian Watson, Tyler Shuck, Blake Corum, and Harold Fanon. Trevor Lawrence and Sam |
| 0:33.2 | Darnold, they were both usable. Jacoby Myers got it done, Devin Neal did too. And Colby Parkinson and Dalton Kincaid both found the end zone. But the Broncos receivers weren't anything special. Chris Rodriguez was pretty mid. Adonai Mitchell and Tyrod Taylor busted, though Tyrod was hurt. And the defensive streamers were pretty bad last week outside of Miami. Miami was great. Now that it's the playoffs, more is at stake. |
| 0:55.6 | So hopefully I can get you more Ws than L's this week. With that being said, let's get the |
| 0:59.9 | week 15. This first tier of players consist of guys rostered in 50 to 80% of Yahoo League so they're |
| 1:07.1 | shallower sleepers. Brock Purdy is still under that 80% mark. And I'm not entirely sure as to why. I'd imagine this dude was by week last week, and he hasn't been like amazing in fantasy football. But he's not a bad play this week. The 49ers have a 28.5 point implied team total against Tennessee. That's the second highest in this week's slate. You might be worried about the 49ers not having to throw the ball as much. That's fair. Teams against Tennessee tend to see their pass rate drop by 2.5% this year. But the Titans are still the 12th best matchup by adjusted points allowed to quarterbacks. And as I always say, in order to get the garbage time, in order to get that lead, the quarterback is likely going to play a role. That high of a team total makes Brock Purdy a relevant starter. Jackson Darts another one in this tier. Now, I will say I'm a little bit concerned about Darts mobility. He didn't have a single design rush attempt the last time we saw the Giants. That was the first time that had happened all year as starter. And we all know why it probably happened, his concussion. But the Giants do get the |
| 2:06.0 | commanders this week and Washington has been the third best matchup for quarterbacks this year |
| 2:09.6 | by adjusted fantasy points allowed. New York also has a healthy 24 and a half point implied team |
| 2:14.5 | total. So I think Jackson Dart is fine. And then Trevor Lawrence is the |
| 2:18.7 | last one in this tier. The Jags also have a good implied team total at 26.5 points against the Jets, |
| 2:24.0 | and New York has been an average to above average opponent this year for quarterbacks. |
| 2:28.5 | Now, they have been better of late, but half of the quarterbacks that they've faced since |
| 2:31.7 | Soss Gardner was traded, they've posted top 10 numbers. Just given the team total and given the trend that I talked about on this |
| 2:38.1 | week's 10 Trends episode about Trevor Lawrence and how well he's played since September, I think |
| 2:42.5 | he's fine. At running back, Woody Marks is still at the 80% mark at the time of this recording. |
| 2:47.9 | I love them this week. The Texans are favorites against the |
