Welcome, everyone to the score fantasy football podcast.

0:17.1

I'm your host, Justin Boone, and it is Mailbag time again here.

0:20.6

But now this is a playoff mailbag episode and that means it is even more important.

0:25.1

So let's get right into it.

0:26.6

At Just Druitt, I have Brock Purdy as my starting quarterback in two leagues this week.

0:31.7

In another league, I have to decide between Purdy and Justin Fields.

0:35.2

How do you approach hedging in fantasy with multiple teams? Do I go Fields in case Christian McCaffrey has a big rushing day limiting Brock? Fields has a tough matchup too. All right. So, yes, Fields does have a tough matchup going against that Browns defense in Cleveland. They have a bunch of injuries. They're still favored at home, though. They're not going to make life easy on the Bears. And we know Fields has a huge ceiling. that's within his range of injuries. They're still favored at home, though. They're not going to make life easy on the bears. And we know, Fields has a huge ceiling. That's within this range of outcomes any given week. The rushing ability alone makes him a threat to overperform really any projection that I give him. But this is one of those situations where I think you can get too cute with it because they're not back to back in my rankings this isn't a

1:11.2

scenario where it's like a coin flip you know where the projections are really really close there's a

1:15.7

solid three or four spot gap between them and purdy has a great matchup he's going against the cardinals

1:21.7

they're giving up the sixth most fantasy points to quarterbacks this year and i see a lot of people

1:26.5

try to guess at these games where you know one team's heavily favored like the Niners are over the Cardinals. And they're trying to guess and figure out, you know, who's going to get the touchdowns in that game. But really, the odds are in favor of a bunch of different players kind of hitting their ceilings in a game like this and that kind of situation. So I wouldn worry too much about whether this is going to be a cmc game or a purdy game i think they're both going to do just fine here and i hope fields can come through as well but he's got a much tougher challenge this week so i like the way you're thinking i like the way that you're you know questioning whether you should diversify your lineups a bit. But in this scenario, I'm riding with Purdy and all of them.

2:03.3

At Broccoli, Kobe, would you prioritize starting a wide receiver that's on the same

2:08.2

team as your opponent's QB?

2:09.8

Example, starting Gabe Davis over Amari Cooper because your opponent has Josh Allen.

2:15.1

Thanks, love the show.

2:16.6

This is another situation where I think that

2:19.2

you could put yourself in a really bad spot by overthinking it because Cooper, yeah, he's a boomer

2:24.6

bust kind of number one receiver a little more than maybe most number one receivers, but he's

2:29.2

still light years ahead of Gabe Davis in my rankings and of my projections and in terms of

2:33.6

their production so far this year. Davis has three zeros in his last five games. That's three

2:38.7

games where he didn't even register a catch. So I would be really, really careful about getting

2:43.3

yourself into the weeds here, trying to strategize just a little bit too much, maybe. Cooper's
