What's up, everybody, and welcome to fantasy football today in five for this Thursday morning

as we get ready for week 14.

Is Dave Richard going to play wide receiver for the Chargers?

Find out right now.

He wishes he were playing wide receiver for the Chargers.

Welcome to the show.

I'm more of a tight end.

Hey, you know what? You get some targets. So Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, both on the reserve of COVID-Lis, and that's where we will start. Maybe it looks a little bit better for Mike Williams to see as just a close contact, did not test positive for it. But what's the situation here as we headed to Thursday night? You might have to make a decision, Justin Herbert or Rathesberger or Cousins.

You have to wait it out a little bit and just see what the news brings on Thursday. But I think I might go with Herbert even if he doesn't have Williams or Keenan Allen. I spent a lot of time

on Wednesday looking over what's left of this Chargers passing game. And I'll tell you what,

I think Jalen Guyton's got some potential. He's tall. He's fast. I think Josh Palmer is kind of like a

low rent mix of Keenan Allen and probably more Jared Cook than anybody else. Maybe Mike Williams,

but physical, quick feet can get open in the short area, not necessarily

a burner. He's going to be interesting. And Jared Cook has lined up in the slot a lot for the

charger. So I would imagine that in a three receiver set, it's probably going to look more like a

two tight end set. And you'll see a lot of Jared Cook playing in the slot, Donald Parm or Stephen Anderson lining up, and then a lot of targets downfield for Guyton, who's not just a one-trick bony. He can catch short area throws two. And Josh Palmer will get some decent action. I kind of like Guyton as a high-end flex. And I think Cook should have enough opportunities to be considered a low-end, number one starting fantasy tight end. Put it all together. And I still think Herbert can finish maybe 10th among quarterbacks this week. Oh, my goodness, Dave. You take away Keenan, Allen, and Mike Williams, and you're going to have that much confidence in him? That's that is something that's optimistic. Well, where do we usually rank him? He's right around fifth, sixth, seventh, maybe a little lower, depending on the matchup. But this is a giant team that doesn't get a ton of pressure on the quarterback. I know the Chargers' offensive line has started to decline over the last few weeks. I still have a lot of faith in Justin Herbert. He's been a great passer,

and I really like the way the Chargers off and just opened things up last week. Oh, boy. Okay, what an optimist we are here. All right, so how about the 49ers? Still know Elijah Mitchell at practice on Wednesday, and now he's got a knee issue on top of the concussion. Still no Debo, Samuel. who's going to star for the 49ers this week against the Bengals?

I think you'll see a lot of George Kittle, first and foremost, and I think the 49ers are still going to try and get their run game going. There's some question marks in the Cincinnati defense. Wilson, a linebacker, DJ Reader. I'd like to know what his status is by the time we get to Friday. If those guys are out, it makes the matchup easier for the run game for San Francisco. And we know that they're a team that loves to run the ball. It doesn't necessarily matter if Mitchell isn't there. They will keep trying with the run game. They are one of the run heaviest, if not the run heaviest team in the NFL, I think over the last four weeks. I think they're right there. But how much faith are you going to have in Hasty? If it's Michael Hasty? Mr. Michael Hasty or how much faith are you going to? I know we're cutting out of the way. I think if Wilson plays, I think he'll be the running downs guys guy. Hasty'll be the passing-downs guy.

If Wilson doesn't play, I think Hastyl will handle the majority of the work, but Kyle you-stech will help him out. I think Iook is a good flex. I think Kittles a must start. I wouldn't use Jimmy Garoppolo. Okay. Yeah, sorry. I think our connection is a little bit off right now. Sorry, little technical difficulties here.

Okay, let's spin it to Thursday night football.

Give me your favorite player prop for Thursday night.

I'm going to keep it simple. We know that Deante Johnson has been a target hog for Pittsburgh. I think he keeps it up. His yardage over under is 81.5. We're taking the over on it against the Vikings who are still having a little bit of a hard time putting pressure on opposing
