| 0:00.0 | Welcome back, everybody, to the Football Guys Daily Update. You give us 10 minutes. |
| 0:04.1 | We'll give you everything you need to know to make you the most informed fantasy football player in your league. |
| 0:08.8 | I'm Mike Dempsey along with Football Guys own Bob Harris. |
| 0:11.8 | Here we are, Bob, Week 16. |
| 0:13.9 | Playoff semifinals, we've got a good one on Thursday night between Seattle and the L.A. Rams. |
| 0:19.3 | And for the Rams, Devante Adams is deemed to be |
| 0:21.8 | week to week with a hamstring issue, although the team is not ruling him out. But Bob, if he does play, |
| 0:29.8 | how much do you downgrade him due to the risk of reaggraving a hamstring injury? Yeah, two things, |
| 0:34.7 | Mike. They're not ruling him out yet. And I suspect, too, this decision will be made for us. But if not, given the way the injury is played out and it's been an issue over multiple weeks, I'd be considering other options, right? This is an important week for everyone. It's going to be tough because you'll need options with upside. At the level of player available might not offer that. So every manager would have to work that out based on their own risk tolerance level. |
| 0:57.2 | Their opponent's starting lineup, their own remaining lineup. All those things would factor in here before I decided if, like, say, a Jordan Addison or an Adonite Mitchell level play would get the job done. But that's going to be a tough decision we have to make unless it's made for us. |
| 1:11.6 | All right. |
| 1:14.2 | And for the Rams, picking up some of the slack has been tight end. |
| 1:20.5 | Colby Parkinson, who has been on a heater, six touchdowns in six games, including a pair this past week. |
| 2:01.0 | Bob, regardless of Adam's status, it seems like Kobe Parkinson is a tight end one now for the fantasy playoffs, or am I overstepping? No, I think you're absolutely right. This week for this week for sure, right? You know, you mentioned the six touchdowns and six games. Even if Devanti Adams plays, it's fair to wonder if he'd be at full speed. So there might be additional bandwidth available for Parkinson. Better still, the Seahawout, the six most fantasy points to tight ends this season. They're a little tougher for holding the other spots, the wideouts and and quarterbacks in general. But yeah, I think Parkinson would be a fine play. And for Seattle, we're hearing news that Tori Horton's not been ruled out to return this season. So we'll keep an eye on that. It wouldn't be necessarily any time soon to add maybe to the playoff roster. But in the meantime, Bob, Rashid Jihad, is he a little bit more flex-worthy after the last |
| 2:07.0 | couple of weeks and a 12-team PPR? Is that going too far? I think so, Mike. He's been wide receiver 24 |
| 2:12.3 | over the last two games, scoring average of 11.24 points per game. Nine catches on 12 targets. |
| 2:18.8 | That's the thing. |
| 2:19.5 | And 141 receiving yards over that span. |
| 2:21.7 | It seems like he's gaining enough traction here to be a viable play. |
| 2:24.9 | Wasn't long ago, you and I were wondering, why the heck hasn't it clicked for him and |
| 2:28.9 | Sam Darnold? |
| 2:29.6 | Maybe it is starting to click. |
