Hello and welcome to PFF fancy football podcast. I'm your host, Ian Hartitz and we got the fancy football playoffs on tap.

0:16.0

There here, let's go. Let's go win that chaper ship. Wend some money and most importantly, win week 15.

0:21.9

Cause we can't do those things if we don't focus on the goal at hand. So as always, I'm joined by none other than PFS on Dwayne, the rock McFarlane Dwayne happy fancy playoffs, man.

0:31.9

Hey, man, happy fantasy playoffs. I'm just smiling because I have a son that's old enough to mulch leaves. I was trying to show him how before the show.

0:40.9

So he's out there giving it a shot right now. So anyway, this is going to be interesting. You may just see me disappear for a second.

0:47.9

Sound good. Well, I thought we had some good fantasy playoff hype going on and start this. I'm just stolen all I stole it all the way. I apologize to the audience. I should never be allowed to steal again.

1:01.9

And as always, we will continue to do this podcast on one cut, not even worry about it. Let's get into these games. I will say that Dwayne and I have looked long and hard at this podcast and realized that, hey, maybe we could condense it to not be, you know, two and a half hours every damn week.

1:16.9

So we have made a concert after was about nine or 10 of these teams highlighted them, talked about it. We are going to do as few words as possible on them. And I know we say this and then we proceed to talk about those teams for five to 10 minutes. But this time we actually mean it more unusual.

1:31.9

So with that in mind, we do not have two duds on Thursday night football. We got the chiefs at the chargers KC three point road favorite game total is at 52.

1:40.9

Let's find out to and let's find out if this latest get right spot against the Raiders will actually have the chiefs playing like the offense. We know they can be or for once again, a blip on the radar because over the last 10 weeks, Patrick, my home is against the Raiders 76.6,

1:54.9

PFF passing grades seven touchdown zero picks nine yards per attempt 74% completion rate. That's great. The problem is against everyone else, he's had 62.5 PFF passing grade six touchdowns eight picks 6.1 yards per attempt in a 59.9 completion rate.

2:11.9

That's some like 2018 Josh Allen level numbers right there, not great. But you know what, this is a Chargers defense that yeah, have plenty of success in us, the homes the first time around. But if we can just get the best version of this guy in this entire offense, obviously they are more than capable of putting up points.

2:27.9

And we just need to kind of see it to believe it. So obviously Kelsey, Thai week, we're running them up that we're running them out there, we're starting them every single week. It is interesting, those seeing some of the stuff that has really come to fruition over the year, Travis Kelsey at this point is behind Mark Andrews and fantasy points.

2:43.9

And the first time since 2015 that Kelsey did not finish as a fantasy tie that one king, look for him to get back on track this week Chargers defense, he had 104 yards against back in week three. That was with a healthy German James now during the hamstring injury. So Kelsey don't be surprised if he, you know, at least that beats that 370 line, he's posted and packed it back weeks straight and really going out there at that prediction.

3:05.9

But I do think Kelsey gets more than 27 yards this week. That's my lock of week 15. You're welcome for all that. Final notes here, Thai week doesn't have 100 yard games since week four.

3:15.9

And this is a top five defense and yards per attempt explosive pass play rate, QB rating on ballstone 20 plus yards down field. So hopefully we just kind of get a shootout game because lost in my homes and struggles.

3:26.9

As been the fact that the chief defense has been playing so well that we haven't really seen them get these competitive shootouts that were more of a staple of this offense for the first six weeks or so.

3:35.9

And I think that is going to be what's going to depend of Clyde Edwards, a layer ends up continuing to keep on keeping on since coming back from injury, RB 15, RB 23 and RB 10, but 20 still RB 27 expected PPR points for game on the year last week, he had 15 first steps.

3:51.9

And the first one was at 13. This is not the fancy friendly situation we were hoping for with Clyde. Hey, he's in a great offense. If they're going to keep scoring 48 points a week, you'll probably find his way into the end zone time or two, provide RB two value, but I do not think Clyde is a must start player by any stretch in this spot.

4:08.9

There should be a majority of starting lineups, but I do think we can probably list 18 to 20 running backs that you would like to have over him. So a lot of guys talk about here, Dwayne. And we actually have a lot of good guys talk about with the chargers this time around.

4:21.9

Keanu has been activated off the COVID list. It looks like awesome. Eccler should be fine to go. Let's hope that Herbert and Comet can make this once competitive as it was last time around.

4:31.9

I mean, it's going to be this may be the best game on the slate. I'm excited for it. Yeah, we get to start it off on Thursday. It is interesting though. There's now the chiefs, the defensive jogger not right.
