| 0:41.3 | I'm Chris Towers here with Dan Schneier. |
| 0:42.8 | We're going to talk about some players that you can consider adding this weekend ahead of week 15, |
| 0:47.7 | who might be able to help you in week 16 and week 17 for the fantasy playoffs. |
| 0:51.5 | But first, Dan, we learned on Friday morning, kind of surprisingly, |
| 0:54.4 | that Mike White won't be playing this week. It seemed like there was a lot of optimism around |
| 0:58.4 | his chances of playing to spike that rib injury. But we learned on Friday morning that |
| 1:03.2 | Zach Wilson will be starting for the New York Jets against the Detroit Lions. It's been a good |
| 1:07.9 | matchup. They allow the most points to fantasy quarterbacks all season. You're not starting Zach Wilson, but what does this do to Garrett Wilson? What does this do to Elijah Moore? What does it do to the running back? Zonovan Knight and Michael Carter. What do you expect from the Jets offense? I think it's a negative higher offense. Sometimes Benchings can help a player, but I don't think Wilson's at that point in his career. He still has so many issues with his footwork, with his ability to deal with pressure, and with his ball placement, to be quite frank, which is really not good. And so you've seen the numbers of Garrett Wilson with him without Zach Wilson. They're really bad with Zach Wilson. And so this was a week I was very high on Garrett Wilson. Now I don't know what to do with him. I don't even really want to start him. I'm not starting Eli Moore for sure. Zonovan Knight. That's one thing. And Carter situation, maybe you can go there if you're desperate at running back. But this is a really bad situation. I even think if you're thinking of starting or streaming Wilson in a two Keebee league, Chris, there's a risk because once you bench him |
| 2:01.3 | the first time, you can come back and bench him a lot easier. And if he's not performing in the |
| 2:05.3 | first half and they're in a tight game, Flacco will play, which will be better for those receivers. So |
| 2:10.2 | you know what? Honestly, it's a bad, it's bad news for any Jets players this week. Yeah, I'm trying to |
