Week 15 is over.

0:06.4

We'll move on to week 16 after we recap Tuesday night right now on fantasy football today in 5.

0:12.0

Adam and Dave here with FFT in 5.

0:14.4

Let's talk about these two games.

0:15.6

Where do you want to start?

0:16.3

East Coast or West Coast?

0:17.9

Let's start with the West Coast.

0:19.5

All right.

0:20.0

We'll work our way back east. Represent. I'm a little bitter about what happened in the Philly game. Bitter. All right. Lost one of my fantasy plows by two points. It wasn't the one against me, was it? No, that one I was victorious. Oh, damn. I haven't checked yet. All right. Sorry. Spoiler. yeah yeah yeah yeah uh uh uh 20 to 10 rams

0:41.2

over the Seahawks here. DK Metcalf gets 12 targets, six cadets. Oh, wait a minute. You won. No way. Unbelievable. Yes. I swear to God. Yes. I was just double checking. Jalen Hertz for the win. You beat me in that one too. All right, let's go.

0:56.8

I thought I got you and I double checked it just now. What a moment. What a moment. You won by

1:02.3

5.5. Let's go. Okay. So what do you think about the Seahawks offense here, specifically

1:09.2

Rashad Penny, who left with an injury, had a bad

1:12.4

game, but DJ Dallas also got a touchdown. I got a touchdown out of stole a touch to him.

1:16.3

He came back, Penny, and Netcalf, who got a lot of Jalen Ramsey in six catches, 52 yards

1:20.9

on 12 targets.

1:22.2

Russ had a terrible game. He really took a huge step back. And, you know, I said all week and leading up to this game, even as recently as Tuesday, the guy that he connected with the most was Tyler Lockett, and he wasn't on the field. And you were just kind of hoping that he would get it together with D.K. Metcalfe. And he couldn't do it. There was one play specifically where he was a deep ball target. He under threw him. It was a really ugly throw by Russ, one of several ugly throws by Russ.

1:48.8

And you just look at the box score. You can see for yourself 12 targets for D.K. Meccaf,

1:53.2

only six catches, only 52 yards. It's just something not clicking between the two of them.

1:58.7

And Russ really just wasn't clicking in general, despite the fact that pretty much everybody else he threw to, had a good game save for Dee Eskridge, and he had a couple of deep targets. So I can't feel great about Russ unless Lockett is back, and I can't feel great about D.K. Metcalfe, no matter who's back for even against Chicago in a few short days. Can we use the Ramsey excuse and just say, hey, it was Ramsey? Okay. What are you going to use for the other three games that D.K. has been absolutely horrid. Yeah, it's more than that, unfortunately. All right. So then how about Rashad Penny? Do you trust him? Look, I knew this was a tough matchup, and I knew they were going

2:34.8

to get crushed in time of possession, and it was a 10-minute difference there. But if you

2:39.1

had combined him and DJ Dallas, you get a pretty good game. So I, you know, I'm more optimistic
