| 0:00.0 | Oh, Taysam Hill with 24 fantasy points. He almost doubled up, Dak Prescott. We'll talk about |
| 0:09.3 | the Thursday night game and take a look at some starts and sits for Fantasy Week 13. |
| 0:14.3 | Welcome to Fantasy Football Today and 5, filling in for Chris tonight. You know me, I'm Adam, |
| 0:18.7 | and I got Dan Schneier here with a fancy background, |
| 0:22.0 | very new location. Look good over there, Dan. What's up? This is what all the Jews have as |
| 0:29.1 | their background typically around this time of year. Christmas wreaths and all that stuff. It's very |
| 0:34.1 | colorful. It's good stuff. All right. So Dallas 27, New Orleans 17. |
| 0:38.9 | And what did you make of DAC scoring 13 points while Tassum Hill scored 24 points, despite |
| 0:44.3 | throwing four interceptions of being so off target for much of the night? |
| 0:48.9 | Well, a little luck box at the end with that Deonti Harris. But listen, this is the value of these |
| 0:53.2 | rushing quarterbacks is why we always say to play them for, you know, he gets, picks up that many yards on the ground, gives you a nice floor. And, you know, quarterback like Dak Prescott is not going to add anything on the ground. You need him to throw touchdowns that he did not do tonight. Hasn't done quite a little bit of time now. So not too surprising for me. it sounds like you're down on deck I mean this was his third worst game of the year one of those games |
| 1:14.2 | yeah time now. So not too surprising for me. Oh, it sounds like you're down on deck. I mean, this was his third worst game of the year. One of those games. What's a little bit? All right. All right. But well, with Hill, it's really interesting. And we can just, you know, finish with this. But he played so badly, but he rushed for a hundred yards. And he had a splint on his finger for much of the game so i think is actually i'm |
| 1:29.9 | kind of encouraged by it and he played so badly to the point where i'm like are they going to bench |
| 1:35.1 | him for next week which i still think is possible and so it's like he put up all those fantasy points |
| 1:40.0 | but like he didn't help the saints at all and will will they continue to play him? I'm not sure. |
| 1:44.6 | Yeah, especially if the finger's not good. Okay. Are you sitting, Ezekiel Elliott for Tony Pollard? Who's the better Cowboys running back going forward? I'm still banking on Zeke, but I don't feel good about Zeke right now, especially with that offensive line, not churning like they did at beginning of the year. that's the big problem there. |
| 2:00.6 | Yeah, he's obviously, |
| 2:01.5 | and you can see him just kind of limping around, |
| 2:03.4 | just not healthy, |
| 2:04.7 | 13, offensive line not churning like they did at beginning of the year that's the big problem there yeah he's obviously and you can see him just kind of limping around just not healthy 13 carries for |
| 2:05.5 | 45 yards pollard in the meantime had the big play a 58 yard touchdown run he was started in 39% of leagues |
| 2:11.5 | zeke was started in 91% of leagues a huge bust for fantasy managers to start your week. We're going to take a look |
