Let's set some championship lineups right now on fantasy football today in five.

0:08.8

So which streaming quarterback are you going with?

0:11.5

How are we looking at these backfields that are sort of in question right now as we are at 8 a.m.

0:15.9

on Sunday of week 17.

0:17.9

Adam and Heath here.

0:19.2

All right, let's start with Justin Jefferson and get your

0:22.2

thoughts on where to rank Justin Jefferson. Where did you settle on him now that Kirk Cousins is out?

0:28.2

Hi and number two wide receiver. There's a lot of question marks today all throughout the rankings

0:33.9

at all positions. This is one where for the most part, I'm just going to start

0:37.7

Justin Jefferson. Are you going to start a Munra, St. Brown, or Justin Jefferson? I will go

0:42.5

with Jefferson. Okay. How about Jared Patterson? Enthused it all about these, you know, probable

0:50.6

starting running back for Washington? High end flex at best.

0:55.4

There's more upside than that, but it's a terrible matchup against a good run defense.

1:00.4

And in their most recent game, I believe he ran two pass routes the entire game.

1:05.7

Jonathan Williams played all the third downs.

1:07.8

I don't know that he has a passing downs role at all.

1:10.4

And I don't think the running downs role is going to be very valuable in this game. Yeah, it's really a great point. You have to have the catches probably. I mean, that's why we were excited about Antonio Gibson if we were. All right, Cortland Sutton has an opportunity here. No Patrick. Has Patrick been ruled out? I mean, no, no Judy. I don't believe there's any

1:29.2

Patrick or Judy, and I'm not sure there should be any Cortland Sutton in your lineup.

1:34.0

He's a low-end number three wide receiver. He has boom potential, but his team also might

1:41.3

just not score any points. He's also playing with an illness, so, you know, don't even know how close to 100% he is. All right, so you're not excited about Cortland Sutton. You're not excited about Jared Patterson. How about a streaming quarterback? We got a lot of questions comparing the three mobile guys, Taysam Hill, Trey Lance, Tyler Huntley. How would you rank them? Man, I've gone back and forth on this, i have all four within half a point in my projections

2:04.4

so like i think the safer thing to do would be say tasem hill first i actually have it ranked

2:11.3

lance hill huntley but they're all good options they're all top 12 options options. I would start all of them over Russell Wilson.
