| 0:00.0 | Welcome back, everybody, to the Football Guys Daily Update. You give us 10 minutes and we give you everything you need to know to make you the most informed fantasy football player in your league. |
| 0:08.5 | I'm Mike Dempsey along with Football Guys own Bob Harris. Welcome to Week 16, Bob tonight. We've got Thursday night football between the Seahawks and the Rams, but it doesn't look like we'll have Devante Adams not officially ruled out. |
| 0:22.1 | He is doubtful for this game. |
| 0:23.9 | So let's start with that. |
| 0:25.0 | If he were to surprisingly play, how much do you have to downgrade a guy who they're not |
| 0:31.0 | even sure can play 24 hours earlier? |
| 0:33.9 | Yeah, you'd have to downgrade him quite a bit. |
| 0:36.3 | And it's a Thursday night game in |
| 0:38.0 | week 16. Gambling didn't get you here. So don't take any chances with, with Adams or any of the |
| 0:44.2 | other pieces in this offense, not named Pooka Nekua or Colby Parkinson. I think both those guys |
| 0:49.4 | are viable plays. Pook is wide receiver two on the season coming off a career high 181 yard receiving game. |
| 0:55.3 | A wide receiver 2 finished last week. It's challenging matchup, Mike. |
| 0:58.5 | Last four weeks, Seattle's allowed the second fewest points to opposing quarterbacks, 8.6 per game is the second fewest to their wide receivers. |
| 1:06.2 | 18.8. They've been slightly more generous to tight ends, however. And that could be good news for Parkinson. |
| 1:11.2 | We've talked about him, six touchdowns in the past six games, including two last week. He's third in receptions, targets receiving yards behind Neku and Adams on the team. Surprisingly, he's tight-in four over the last six weeks, averaging 13.5 points in game. J.J. Zachary Easton, my buddy, at late round fantasy pointed out, |
| 1:29.3 | Raiders start tight-in. Brock Bowers is averaging 13.5 points a game. JJ Zach Reese and my buddy at late round fantasy pointed out, Raider Star tight end, Brock Bowers is averaging 12.5 points per game in that same time period. So with Adam slowed or more likely sideline by the hamstring, I have Parkinson ranked as a tight end 10 this week well ahead of his football guy's projection. All right. And just for the record, there's no other wide receiver that would rise up into flex territory without Adams. No, that's the, that's the gamble part, |
| 1:48.8 | not doing that. All right. Now, let's go to Miami where the big news yesterday was that |
| 1:53.6 | Tuatunga Vailoa has been benched. Quinn Ewer's seventh round draft pick will get the start here, Bob, |
| 2:00.5 | to the emergency third quarterback so there's |
| 2:03.8 | no chance and yours getting hurt and two are coming in and saving the day and then they have a |
| 2:09.1 | quarterback dilemma so zach wilson will be the backup so i ask you with this in mind which |
| 2:14.0 | dolphins are startable in the fantasy playoffs this week devon a chan 100% startable. Jalen Waddle, I have him is a lower level wide receiver two. Our projections have him slightly ahead of me at wide receiver 15. Then there's Darren Waller, and that's what, you know, we talked about this yesterday. Mike, I think the options, your current lineup, your opponents lineup, and how things are going heading into Sunday, right? Are you behind after some big Thursday and Saturday outcomes? All that will determine whether you roll Waller out in a playoff game. I have him inside my top 12, just barely. I might have players ranked ahead of them on my rosters, though. It's going to be case by case for me. All right. They're hosting Cincinnati and we're keeping an eye on T. Higgins. He is still |
