What is up? Welcome to another edition of the NFL fantasy football show. What is up? Welcome to another edition of the NFL fantasy football show. It's me, your man M.G.

Marcus Grant still fully vaccinated still dodging variants like Neo in the matrix. Fun show for you on tap. We are joined as we always are by producer Justin and

Specialist on the other side of the glass. Hello everybody over there. Hopefully they had a wonderful thanks. They had a friends giving. Hopefully they had a wonderful Thanksgiving as well. Hopefully you guys did too. Even though it's been, you know, we've had a show since Thanksgiving happened. Don't worry about it. I'm just wishing everybody well joined here. Of course to my left is always by Michael F. Florio. And I know we we've talked a lot of hot stove stuff on Monday, but there's like still hot stove things happening across but I know it's not a baseball show. I don't care. But like there's stuff happening. It's fun. Yeah, you your Dodgers are

in on Freddie Freeman. Apparently the meds are introducing Mac Sherser today and that that is all I needed. And apparently they're not done. So I'm I'm enjoying it. They should have two press conferences. One for each of his different colored eyes. I like that. Right. Someone said they should play with like a black jersey and like then a white jersey. Just like whatever he pitches. Yeah, totally, totally. So you know, like just just let's play into this a whole lot. All right. Anyway, let's get to the fantasy football stuff. We got a lot coming up. We got the three big questions for week 13 as we normally do.

1:25.8

Here and we're going to preview all of the Sunday games not to mention the Thursday night game and we will close the show out with some sleepers. But let's kick it off as we normally do with some fantasy headlines and we will start with the Dallas Cowboys. Now as of a couple days ago, head coach Mike McCarthy said he was uncertain about Amari Cooper's availability for Thursday night's game against the New Orleans Saints. Cooper has missed the last couple of games as he deals with COVID symptoms, but a report this morning.

1:55.8

From Ed Werner says that Cooper is traveling with the team to New Orleans. So no official designation yet about his status for the week, but at least a step in the right direction. But let's just say for the sake of argument that he does miss another game this week.

2:11.8

Can I interest you on either Cedric Wilson or Noah Brown?

2:15.8

Maybe Cedric Wilson, he did have a team high 10 targets last week. No Brown had nine, but the thing is there was no CD lamb, either in that game and lamb is looking like he is going to be playing. He's been practicing this week. So I think lamb gallop and Dalton Schultz see a large number of targets there. So I think those other two guys are just more deeper league plays. And if Amari Cooper plays, those guys are just completely off the board.

2:39.8

I know the Michael Gallop thing was very frustrating on Thanksgiving because he was sort of missing an action for a good chunk of that game. And I know that because look, I was doing the family thing having dinner. So I wasn't necessarily locked into every single play, but I'm checking Twitter every so often and every time I open it, I'm just hearing people complain about where is Michael Gallop.

2:58.8

I know he kind of got involved a little bit later, but it was a struggle for a good.

3:03.8

As someone who started him in a good amount of leagues last week, I was one of those angry people.

3:08.8

He had one target in the first half. I was like, what are we doing? That's one thing that frustrates me the most Marcus is when teams voluntarily take away like their best playmakers.

3:19.8

Like what the cults did this week with Jonathan Taylor, Cooper Cup didn't get a lot of volume early on in that game. Like, if you're not, if you're choosing to take away your best player, that's on you, man.

3:29.8

I mean, look, DK Medcalf didn't have a catch until the final minute of the game.

3:34.8

Like how I don't know how that happens, but he's DK Medcalf, right?

3:39.8

You know, afterwards they're like, oh, yeah, maybe we should get DK more involved. Like you think?

3:43.8

Maybe we could tell you that.

3:45.8

We could tell you that, right? I'm not even in the practice field in the meeting rooms.

3:49.8

I would just, hey, throw the ball to DK Medcalf. That would be my strategy.

3:52.8

It doesn't have to, it's Matt Harman who says that, right? Like it just throw it to be hard.

3:55.8

Just throw it to your good players. Just throw it to your good players. It's that easy.

3:59.8

In New York, the giants kind of a quarterback quandary at the moment. Daniel Jones is dealing with a neck injury.
