Here we go, everybody.

0:11.9

Week 16, we've got Uncle Dave, Propy, Claudia, with you.

0:16.5

See ya.

0:17.4

On a plane, I think, currently heading to Florida, so he's not with us.

0:20.8

Maybe he'll join us in this chat. Good to see all you guys again. Of course, ask all of your betting fantasy questions. We'll get to as many as we can here on the Early Edge prop show, brought to you by BetMGM, make it legendary. Week 16 kicked off in a firework fashion last night, overtime win for the Seahawks.

Anybody who's in the fantasy play, you know, getting into the fantasy playoffs and has

0:42.1

Puka probably a very happy man because he absolutely went off.

0:46.4

All the controversies surrounding him.

0:48.1

Uncle Dave was interesting to see throughout the week.

0:50.1

And he's like, yeah, hold my beer.

0:51.9

I'm going to go off and put up 230 yards here. I'm happy because I've got him in one of my leagues. I'm angry because I'm playing against him in another. And I'm a little frustrated that I'm playing against Matthew Stafford. Can't forget that he had a great game in the Dynasty League that I'm in with Propy, other luminaries from Sportsline. That's a league that I

1:12.7

covet. I won it last year. It was our first year doing it. I was the one seat again this year,

1:18.5

and now I've got trouble because I went up against Matthew Stafford. My advice to people who went

1:23.9

up against Nakua, Stafford, even JSN had an awesome game.

1:29.2

You don't have to change your lineup.

1:32.5

You should set your lineup the same way you would every single week in fantasy,

1:35.5

whatever strategies you use, stick with them.

1:40.1

But if you know you're down big and you've got a player on your team that doesn't have high upside, it wouldn't hurt to look to see if you could find another option, someone that does have more upside and to play that player. For example, I'm just throwing a name out there, Chris Godwin. Okay, Godwin had a great game last week. It still feels like he doesn't have a lot of upside. Adonai Mitchell could be a free agent in your league. We've seen him get a lot of volume and put up some big

2:00.8

numbers himself. Maybe you've got to take that swing at the home run and give up the hit for a

2:06.7

single that you would get with another player. It's literally the only time what I would consider

2:11.0

doing such a thing in fantasy football. Basically what Dave is saying is don't bench Jemir Gibbs.

2:19.0

Well, I mean, you could, and I think you should if you're playing against one of us,
