Well, congratulations if you made it to the next round of the fantasy playoffs. In today's video, we're going to rank every single wide receiver. We're going to talk starts and sits. 32 teams in play, 16 matchups in total, and we're going to go through every single one. There are time codes below if you want to jump to a matchup. And all I ask in return is maybe hit the like button if you find any sort of help in today's video.
Let's jump to Thursday Night Football. It should be an absolute banger for wide receivers with fantasy points. My number one ranked wide receiver this week. My number two ranked wide receiver this week, Puka, Jackson Smith and Njigba. We should see a big day for both of these guys. Don't forget the division is on the line. The NFC West is on the line in this game. So, these guys are going to throw the kitchen sink. Whatever it takes. You're going to see a lot less field goals, a lot more people on fourth down trying to go for it. Puka and JSN should smash, but it's always nerve-wracking, you know, when they're on that Thursday night game.
There will be no Devonte Adams in this game. He is currently labeled week to week with that hamstring injury, but it's obvious he's not going to play in this game. I'm not even sure if he plays next week. Certainly not going to play on a short week. I don't think if you lost Devonte Adams, you should be looking at the Los Angeles Rams wide receiver room to replace him out of desperation. That would be the wrong move in my opinion.
Diontae Johnson out of Pittsburgh. He's a rookie, I believe, uh or first or second year player. Only had one target last week. He was the third player as far as opportunities, but you have Johnson, Washington, Tutu Atwell. You've got three tight ends that they like to throw to Parkinson, Ferguson, and Davis Allen. So, I don't think this is a scenario where you just pick up the next wide receiver on the depth chart. I would avoid it. And by the way, it's not even that great of a matchup anyway against the Seahawks.
Now, on the opposite side, outside of JSN, Puka Nacua is the only name that you're considering. He is still much more of a desperation play at this point. I would say nine out of 10 people watching this have a better option. I'm not really looking to put my my fantasy playoff life on the line for Puka Nacua, but if he's your best option in a desperation, you know, deeper league, then sure, you can put him out there. Here's what I will say. His opportunities are starting to grow as he's getting settled into Seattle. They're starting to get him more involved, more important to the game plan, more opportunities, more targets down the field. Uh, so that is nice to see, but again, I would I would say there's a pretty low floor with him this week.
Okay, we are not jumping to Sunday. We are jumping to Saturday. We've got two Saturday games here. The Eagles at the Commanders is where we will start off with. So, make sure you're setting those lineups early. 44 and a half point overunder. The Eagles are favored by 5 and a half points. It is in Washington.
So, let's stay here with Washington. Unfortunately, we will not see Jayden Daniels for the remainder of the season. He is not going to play. They're out of contention. They want him to get healthy. It makes sense. Now, obviously, this offense is going to be better with Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota. Now, what I will say is Mariota has been just fine. He's actually been a pretty good backup so far and has sustained some pretty long drives for the Washington Commanders. Terry McLaurin is my wide receiver 28. So, he is a high-end wide receiver three, a flexible option this week. He goes up, you know, against the Eagles. That is not a matchup that you're really wanting to chase to be honest with you guys. Uh, the Eagles are actually a bottom five matchup for your fantasy wide receivers this year. That secondary is legit. I would really I'd really caution you to play with confidence if you have another name that you like better. But last week against the Giants, which is a much better matchup, he only had four targets. Now, those four targets, he caught one of them for a long touchdown. So, ended up kind of saving his week with about 16 fantasy points. I'm not really willing to trust him at this point. He's getting some opportunities, but he's got to get a touchdown otherwise he's going to bust for you. I do think the Commanders are going to be down needing needing to throw the ball, but I just don't think Mariota is going to be able to do it against uh the Eagles defense, to be honest with you guys.
Now, on the opposite side, you can start AJ Brown. Neither of these receivers were really needed last week versus the Las Vegas Raiders. Hopefully, the Commanders can make it a more competitive game, but AJ Brown is in your lineups. He's been on a heater in the last four or five weeks. DeVonta Smith is a safer floor. We always know that he can put up a 30-point game at any point. He's not as consistent, unfortunately, but you got to play him to get the big games. Kind of not all that different to like a Jameson Williams. Uh, but he also has a little bit of a safe floor. DeVonta Smith that is. So, both of those guys are startable names. I'd much rather prefer the Eagles wide receivers and the Commanders, but again, proceed with caution.
The other game on Saturday is the Packers at the Bears. 46 and a half point overunder. Now, unfortunately for the Packers, uh Christian Watson is not going to play. Well, I project him not to play in this game. We'll see. Now, he left last week's game versus Denver uh with an injury. They were concerned about his lungs. Now, he went to the hospital and it was all precautionary. He does not have a long-term injury. Now, we don't exactly know if he's going to play in this game versus Chicago. I'm currently projecting him not to play. We'll go through the scenario if he does, though.
Okay. If he doesn't play, Jayden Reed would be the name that I would trust the most of all these options just simply because when he's been healthy, he has been Jordan Love's preferred target. I wouldn't be surprised if Romeo Doubs has a decent day or if Dontayvion Wicks has a decent day or if all three of these guys all get four targets and none of them have a decent day. Like none of that would surprise me. So, there is a lot of uh risk you're taking starting a Green Bay Packers wide receiver. Even if even if Christian Watson is healthy, there's still a ton of risk across the board because they really spread it out to all their guys in this offense. Everybody eats quote unquote. But the reason I'm even starting one of these names is because the matchup against the Bears is quite good. It's the second best matchup for your fantasy wide receivers. So, if you're going to take a Hail Mary, which is what one of these players are, let's be honest, like one of the Packers wide receivers, it is a Hail Mary at this point, then I don't mind doing it against the Bears in this matchup for the division.
Okay, let's jump to the Bears. Uh, the Bears, D.J. Moore, I I would love to start him if he's healthy. I'm not 100% sure he's going to be out there. Ben Johnson labeled him day-to-day with that ankle injury, so I'm not 100% sure if he's going to play. It doesn't help that it's a short week. There's a good chance he's not out there, unfortunately. But if he is, he's my wide receiver 30. He would be my preferred start of anyone in this offense. Before he went down with that injury, I mean, he was cooking. They were really It was It was about to be the the D.J. Moore breakout game. It genuinely was. If you weren't watching, I promise you, he was starting to cook and he was cooking in the kitchen, let me tell you. Now, he ended up with just 26 snaps, but led the team in targets. That's what I'm talking about. Okay? He was being fed early and often. He was looking dynamic, explosive. Unfortunately, he leaves the game early. D.J. Moore ends up being the one who scores two touchdowns. Maybe D.J. Moore would have gotten some of those opportunities. Who knows? But both D.J. Moore and D.J. Moore are spot starts. They are low-end wide receiver three, four desperation plays uh at this point. Now, Ben Johnson, by the way, on Roman Reigns said all options are on the table regarding his foot injury. So, there's a chance he might be shut down for multiple weeks. I don't anticipate anticipate him playing this week after, you know, re-injuring that uh injury in his foot. Now, if Moore and Reigns are out and it's only D.J. Moore, he would jump 10 spots in my ranking to more of a low-end wide receiver, two. At my wide receiver, 25 in my ranking. So, I think we covered all of our bases there.
Okay, let's jump to the fourth matchup here. This is the start of the Sunday slate of games. We got the Bucs at the Panthers 45 and a half point overunder. It's a two and a half point spread. It's in favor of Tampa Bay, but anything's possible. This is what I'm talking about this week. There are so many divisions that are on the line. The Bucs and the Panthers. Again, another team matchup where both teams will be throwing the kitchen sink. All right. On fourth down, you're going to go for it because if you win this game, your chances of making the playoffs skyrocket. Your chances of winning the division skyrocket. Now, these are two teams that are middle of the pack against wide receivers, so it's not necessarily a matchup you would target. However, with the nature of this game, I think you'll see a lot of teams going for it on fourth down, not settling for field goals. I think you'll see some big games for these wide receivers. Both Mike Evans and Terry McLaurin will be must starts for me. Obviously, last week was a disappointment for T-Mac. He wasn't as needed in this offense, unfortunately. Uh, the the Panthers like to do the same thing when when they're up they'll stop really the throwing the ball and ultimately that's to to the detriment of their own team unfortunately. But uh, what we're going to do is we're definitely going to start Mike Evans and Terry McLaurin. Mike Evans was a name that we told you to start last week on Thursday Night Football. Hopefully you did. He came back and he is ready to go. Maybe he is a he has a chance at that thousand yard receiving mark. Probably not. But clearly they missed Mike Evans and he made a huge impact when he was back.
Now, Chris Godwin and D.J. Moore are both flexible options. Last week, you did see Chris Godwin have uh four targets, seven targets for D.J. Moore. So, despite Godwin leading the way in snaps and routes run, he had the lowest percentage of targets when he was on the field. When he was a part of the offense, when he was lined up, he was targeted the least. That is why he is ranked last for me. Yes, he got into the end zone, but if Mike Evans is going to play more, if Mike Evans is going to play more snaps, which you would anticipate Mike Evans playing more snaps, maybe Godwin has less and less opportunities to put up fantasy points with the Panthers. I'm not really going to mess around with any wide receiver outside of Terry McLaurin. I just think there's too much bust potential with the Cokers and the Legettes, and that's how we're playing this matchup.
Okay, let's jump to the Bills at the Browns. It's a 42 and a half point overunder. It's it's a pretty low overunder. The Bills are favored by 10 and a half points. They're the second largest favorites of the week. And to be honest with you guys, I don't really have an interest in playing anybody in this matchup. There's not a single chance I'm trusting Josh Allen against the Buffalo Bills to produce a fantasy wide receiver. Yeah, maybe Jerry Judy or Isaiah Bond have a touchdown, but there's no way I'm trying to predict that or I'm trying to rely on that with my fantasy life on the line. It's just not happening.
On the opposite side, you can play Khalil Shakir if you're in a really deep league and you you have no other clear better option. You'll notice I have ranked every wide receiver in today's video. He is the safest wide receiver to play, but ultimately they really funnel most of their offense through their tight ends. Last week, Shakir led the way in wide receivers with receiving yards, receptions, targets, and he had 11 points. I mean, he's had so many busts this year. You can't rely on any receiver there. It's always a tight end that ends up being the best receiver for the Buffalo Bills. That's just the way Josh Allen likes it. So, that's how we're looking at this matchup. Ideally, you don't even mess around with a single name here. That's how I ideally would play it out.
Okay, let's jump to the Chargers at the Cowboys. 49 and a half point overunder, which is the third highest of the week. The Chargers are favored, but it's only a one and a half point spread. Now, I understand George Pickens was a disappointment last week, two weeks in a row where he really disappointed you. Hopefully, you're still in the playoffs. I'm still going to play him with confidence. You know, this is not a different player than the player who's putting up those 30-point gains for you earlier in the year. He's done it with CeeDee. He's done it without CeeDee. So, yes, every player can be a disappointment. We know that by now. However, I am still going out there and I'm putting George Pickens into my lineup with a ton of confidence. Uh, you know, him and Dak Prescott, that is a connection that you just cannot manufacture on on the waiver wire or somewhere on your bench, for example. We're putting them in there. It's not a great matchup, but you're starting both CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. They are both superstars.
Now, on the opposite side of the ball, Ladd McConkey has had quite a few bust games in recent memory. However, this is a great matchup for him to bounce back. The Cowboys are the third best matchup for your fantasy receiver. It is really tough to run against them since they brought in Quenton Nelson. So, expect the Chargers to attack through the air and hopefully Ladd McConkey will be a big part of that. Uh, obviously over the middle of the field deep down the field he plays a little slot a little out wide so if I'm going to play any Chargers receiver it will be Ladd McConkey but obviously it there's been a lot of bust with this entire wide receiver room over the course of the last three or four weeks I don't really want to trust Keenan Allen uh, you know, his targets are not very valuable the A-dot is very low and I don't really want to trust Quentin Johnson.
Okay, let's jump to the Jets at the Saints 40 and a half point overunder so a very low overunder the Saints are favored by four and a half points It is in New Orleans, so you don't have to worry about weather and what the Northeast might might be doing, you know, with rain, wind, snow, whatever the case may be. A.D. Mitchell is a risky start. The Saints are the second worst matchup for your fantasy wide receivers. Now, here's what was encouraging for A.D. Mitchell because remember, we have no Justin Fields. We have no Tyrod Taylor. All of his success in New York previously came from Tyrod Taylor. This game you had Bailey Zappe who's the rookie from Missouri and A.D. Mitchell ended up having a good game. He had eight targets. He ended up with 17.4 fantasy points, six catches, almost 60 yards and a touchdown. He is a desperation play by wide receiver 37. He is a high-end wide receiver. Four. In deeper leagues, you can put him in your flex, but there is a a floor here that could potentially cost you a win. There there truly is with the Jets.
On the opposite side, we are going to start Chris Olave who last week was looking like a bust through three quarters and then in quarter number four, he got the majority of his fantasy points. He's my wide receiver 10. Tyler Boyd looks pretty good. Uh, Olave is the only guy I really trust in this matchup if I'm being honest with y'all. Devin Duvernay is interesting by the way, but he's currently dealing with an injury, so I'm not sure I really want to play around with that.
Let's jump to the Vikings at the Giants. 44 and a half point overunder. The Vikings are favored by two and a half points. And unfortunately, there is no green on this graphic. Now, green means money. Green means must start. There is no must start in this game. Okay. How many weeks in a row do we have to say, well, this could be the game where Justin Jefferson puts up a 20-point game, right? It's a good matchup against the Commanders. It's a good matchup against X team. All right. It's a good matchup against the Cowboys. I'm not sure it matters. I'm not sure it matters, guys. This is three weeks in a row where I'm telling you it's the lowest I've ever ranked Justin Jefferson since his rookie season. I don't know what to do. He's my wide receiver 31. My wide receiver 31. He's a desperation flex at this point, right? He's not a solid wide receiver, two. There are 30 receivers I'd rather play in fantasy football this week. And I'm saying that with confidence. Now, I'll give you the BS spiel again because it's true. Hey guys, against the Giants, Justin Jefferson could go off because the Giants defense isn't good. They're a top 10 matchup for your fantasy wide receiver and Justin Jefferson is Justin Jefferson. So, do with that what you will. I would say six out of 10 people watching have a better option in their in their lineups this week.
Now, Jordan Addison, we're not really playing around with him. He's not really as targeted in the red zone as Jefferson is, but he always gets those targets deep down the field. He's a risky start for me. Again, a Hail Mary play. Same as Darius Slayton, by the way. These are both two uh two guys that can stretch the field vertically. Now, what I will say for Darius Slayton is at least he is getting consistent target share, right? We're not seeing that type of target share with Jordan Addison, but last week we saw Darius Slayton with nine targets, the same amount as Wan'Dale Robinson. So, that was awesome to see. But Wan'Dale Robinson is the only player I really trust in this matchup and that's just because he gives us a safe floor. He's my wide receiver 23. So a low-end wide receiver two. A guy that you can flex put in that wide receiver two spot if you need.
Okay, let's jump to the Chiefs at the Titans. This game is tied for the lowest overunder of the week. It's a little bit depressing to talk about if I'm honest with you guys. Patrick Mahomes not going to play for the rest of the year. for his ACL, also his uh LCL as well. We we just heard. But the Chiefs and the Titans, I don't really want to trust a Titans wide receiver in this game, especially against the Chiefs defense. Even though there's no Patrick Mahomes, they're going to play for pride. That defense is still a tough matchup. Maybe you throw DeAndre Hopkins out there, you know, if if you want to bet on some prediction that you have in your mind, but I I would avoid the matchup entirely.
Now, Rashee Rice is still a must for me. We have to acknowledge that without Patrick Mahomes, this offense is is not going to be as good. Rashee Rice is unlikely to be as good. However, Gardner Minshew is one of the better backups in the NFL. All right. So this is a guy, you know, that can step in. He can target your number one. Your number one can put up 25 points. We've seen it before in the past plenty of times. His days in in Jacksonville, his days in Indianapolis. We've seen plenty of examples where he has stepped in and he has for the number one wide receiver at least provided a safe enough floor. That's why I'm labeling Rashee Rice a must start, my wide receiver 15. Typically he'd be inside my top five. So I have dropped him about 10 spots in my rankings, but I still think they're going to funnel their offense through Rashee Rice. That's why I'm labeling him a must start, but it could get ugly. I'm aware of that.
Okay, let's jump to the Bengals at the Dolphins here. 50 and a half point overunder. Tied for the highest overunder of the week. The Dolphins are favored, but it's only by one and a half points, so it's a very close spread. Joe Burrow is going to play the last three games of the year. That's great news for Ja'Marr Chase. Tee Higgins. At the time of recording, Tee Higgins is technically still in concussion protocol. So, there is a chance you don't have him this week. But assuming both are healthy and ready to go. They are both inside the top 10 of my rankings this week. My wide receiver three, my wide receiver eight, I would have high expectations for both of them. Tee Higgins, you know, he can put up a 30 burger any single game. You know how good Ja'Marr Chase is. They're against the Dolphins who are middle of the pack against wide receivers. So, it's not a bad matchup or anything, and you would expect this team to want to play for pride at this point. So, these guys are premier starting receivers that should propel you into the next round.
Now, on the opposite side, Jaylen Waddle is a spot start. He's a playable name. Now, it is going to be in Miami, so you have that going for him. They're not you're not going to have to worry about the winter weather and how Tua performs. So, I am gonna label Jaylen Waddle a spot start. My wide receiver 19, a low-end wide receiver, two. He should have a good chance to bounce back in this game. Although, I will recognize the Bengals are not giving up a lot of points to fantasy wide receivers. So, look at your options if you're in an eight or a 10 team league and make sure that he's my highest ranked name that I've got in today's video for you.
Okay, let's jump to the Falcons at the Cardinals. 46 and a half point overunder. Another spread that is one and a half points. So very, very close. The Falcons are currently favored. Another week where I can't promise you if Drake London's going to play or not, but if he's playing, we're going to rank him as if he is. He'd be my wide receiver 14. We have seen Kirk Cousins run a competent offense is I think what we can say. He's been competent. I think that's fair to say. I mean, they beat the Buccaneers last week for God's sake. Now, if Drake London is good to go, and by the way, Raheem Morris says he is day-to-day, but they're more hopeful this week. Again, who the hell knows what that means? Here's the good news. Morris actually said with Kyle Pitts, he was there as a number one wideout. He's got the Drake London targets. So, I'm just going to say like if Drake London is back, you maybe need to lower your expectations for Kyle Pitts because there is a chance that Kyle Pitts is not going to get the same amount of opportunities in the red zone, uh, down the middle of the field, down the, you know, the seams, if you will. So, if you're a Kyle Pitts owner, you do not want Drake London to play. If you're a Drake London, uh, you know, owner, you definitely want him to play. Um, I'm not gonna mess around with Darnell Mooney or Davis Sills in this game. Even if, by the way, Drake London is out.
With the Cardinals, Michael Wilson, I'm ranking him as if Marvin Harrison Jr. is not active. He would be my wide receiver five. No, that's not a glitch on the graphic. That's correct. He'd be my wide receiver five. The Falcons are the fifth best matchup for your fantasy wide receivers. Michael Wilson, even last week against a terrible Houston Texans defense or a really good sorry defense like a terrible matchup. He found a way to get it done. Okay, that's just what he does. He and Kyler Murray are in this mind meld. Okay, it's like Will and Jalen Hurts. Okay, there's a way to just tune in and get the job done. Now, in the event that Marvin Harrison is active, I think both Michael Wilson and Marvin Harrison are playable names. They would be my wide receiver 20 and 21. So, two guys that you can put into your lineup with a ton of confidence. Considering the matchup and considering the fact that the targets would be so consolidated with those three names in Wilson, Harrison, and McBride.
Okay, let's go to the Jags at the Broncos. It's a 45 and a half point overunder and the spread is about three and it's in favor of Denver. It's in Denver. These are two of the AFC AFC's best teams this year. Certainly Denver. I know not a lot of people are giving respect to the Jaguars yet, but I I got to give respect to Liam Cohen and what they've done there. They've played some really good football as of late. Now for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Christian Kirk is still leading the way in snaps and routes run. He is still the number one target in this offense. Had a safe floor game last week. No touchdown, but still 12 fantasy points. We know how good he's been in Jacksonville. However, with Parker Washington healthy, we weren't 100% sure if he would be the number number two or if Brian Thomas would be given number two duties again. And we got our answer. Brian Thomas, they still want to build around him. Obviously, he ended up with seven targets. Got back into the end zone. Looked like a former version of himself. 66 yards over 17 fantasy points. Obviously, we're going to start Christian Kirk. He's been the most reliable name on this team. Brian Thomas is a much more of a spot start. You know, a flex if you have a double flex league. Maybe probably not your best option in a single flex league. Uh, but he would be a really low-end wide receiver three, but not a name that you can't play simply because he's got that big play threat. Any single touch he can take to the house. We know how talented this player is. I'm not going to mess around with Parker Washington.
On the opposite side for the Broncos, we were seeing Courtland Sutton, you know, really start to turn it on and become an important part of this offense. However, he did sustain a hamstring injury, so we're not sure if he's going to play. Either way, Courtland Sutton has retained the alpha status on this team multiple weeks in a row being the guy. He had 24 points last week, seven catches, 113 yards, and a touchdown. He was fantastic. And by the way, Marvin Mims is on a heater. So, you got to start Courtland Sutton in my opinion against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now, Troy Franklin is not the worst desperation play. The issue is they're still playing guys ahead of him. Like Lil'Jordan Humphrey played ahead of him. They got Marvin Mims involved. So, I just don't think they really want to feature Troy Franklin anymore. You start, you saw that with Pat Bryant kind of getting more opportunities. So, I really think that this matchup is Kirk and Sutton locks and then Brian Thomas as a desperation play outside of that. I don't think you really mess around with it.
Okay, let's jump to the Steelers at the Lions. This is tied for the highest overunder of the week at 50 and a half points. Now, the Lions are favored by about seven fantasy points. I think you have three names in this game that you start and you don't get cute with it. It should be a high-scoring affair. The good news for our Diontae Johnson owners is they're probably going to need to throw the ball. Okay, against the Detroit Lions at home, they're probably going to put up over 30 points. Johnson is going to have to get volume for you to have an opportunity to win this game. And the Steelers really need to win. So Johnson is my wide receiver 22, a low-end wide receiver two this week. As far as the Lions go, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams are pretty much locks each and every week at this point. Shout out to um, you know, Dan Campbell really reviving my guy Jameson Williams. It's been so fun to see. And the good news is both of these defenses give up big points to fantasy wide receivers, specifically the Lions, by the way, who give up the most when you adjust for schedule.
Okay, let's jump to the Raiders at the Texans. This is tied for the lowest overunder of the week at 37 and a half points. The Texans are favored by 14 and a half. You know, those two things combined alone make me say there's not a chance I'm starting a Raiders wide receiver. That's just not happening. Then you add on to the fact that the Texans are the worst matchup in fantasy football. No, I'm not touching it. Not even in a deeper format. Now, Nico Collins is the only player that you start in this game with any sort of confidence, but you need to be aware that not many teams need to throw against the Raiders. So, there is bust potential there. But even last week, Nico Collins was in a situation where, you know, the Texans completely dominated and yet he still found a way to get into the end zone, right? He had three catches, 85 yards, and two touchdowns. Now, if you take away the touchdowns, three for 85 is definitely not as as appealing, but he is still the alpha on that team. I don't think you you should mess around with like a Jakobi Meyers, Hunter Renfrow, Davante Adams. I just think the target share is a little bit consolidated at this point.
Okay, let's jump to Sunday Night Football. We got the Pats at the Ravens. High overunder, 47 and a half points. The only guys in this matchup I would think about starting are Stefon Diggs and Zay Flowers. The good news is again, high overunder, two really good offenses, uh, two teams that are top 10 in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers when you adjust for schedule. That's definitely good news. However, you have two teams that really don't force feed the ball to to anybody. Okay, the Ravens, they've done this for years. Zay Flowers is never going to be a, you know, seven and a half, eight, nine target per game type of player. He's just not going to be. He could be, but he's just not going to be in this offense. So, he is a high-end wide receiver three for me. My wide receiver 25, a flexible name. Stefon Diggs I have a little bit less confidence in to be honest with you guys because if you look at the splits for Stefon Diggs with and without Josh Allen, they are drastically different when Josh Allen is on the field they do not need to force the ball to Stefon Diggs and they haven't in this last game for example Stefon Diggs had three targets and by the way he was third on the team in snaps with just 26 in a game that they lost I don't know I I just don't think you play Stefon Diggs right now I'm giving him respect back as my wide receiver 34, but that is like almost wide receiver four territory, right? I think eight out of 10 of you have a better option, so proceed with caution.
Yes, the fantasy season is coming to an end. Yes, there will be some leagues that you don't win, but even if you're knocked out, you can still play fantasy with myself. I'm setting lineups every week on the Fast Draft app. Their Super Slam contest is very simple.

Download the Fast Draft app, use the promo code LAND, and I'll match your deposit up to 50 bucks. Let's let's compete against each other, okay? Let's have some fun.
Okay, let's jump to the last game here. We've got Sunday Night Football. The 49ers at the Colts 46 and a half point overunder. The Niners are favored by five and a half points. It's in a dome in Indianapolis, so you don't have to worry about weather or anything. You know, kind of messing up this matchup. Now, here's what I'll say. Jauan Jennings is an absolute must-start for me, okay? He has been so reliable and so consistent with Brock Purdy at quarterback. I just I just don't know how you sit him. He's my wide receiver, 16 this week. The Colts are the seventh best matchup for your receivers. Oh, and by the way, they will not have Sauce Gardner again. And to add injury to insult, literally, Ricky Pearsall reinjured his knee. Uh, he tweaked it and there was a quote here from Kyle Shanahan said there's concern. They think he should be ready this week, but it's real painful for a while, but it can go away. Talking about the injury, not at all like it was when he first did it, but it does take time for that pain to go away. Hopefully sooner rather than later. So, I wouldn't really rely on Ricky Pearsall at this point. It was great to see him have a good day last week, but there's a chance he could leave this game with an injury. He's already dealing with one. Jauan Jennings and George Kittle should be the focal point of this passing attack in a game where it's a really good matchup, really good uh setup for for Jauan Jennings to smash for you.
On the opposite side, the only name that I'm really considering to play here uh would be Michael Pittman, but I will say like I don't have a ton of confidence in Pittman anyway. Here in last week's game, the first Philip Rivers game, Pittman ended up with five targets. Okay, he was the most targeted receiver. You had four targets to Downs, only one to Alec Pierce. We were begging y'all, don't play Alec Pierce last week because there's just no way that deep ball is going to be replicated from Daniel Jones to Philip Rivers. So, there's not a chance you can play Alec Pierce anymore. You could probably drop him at this point. Michael Pittman is the only guy I would consider playing. The only reason Josh Downs didn't bust him because he got into the end zone. Uh, Pittman is a safer floor. Uh, but still there there is a ton of potential bust there for a Michael Pittman. He is my wide receiver 29 almost outside the top 30. So, proceed with caution. Uh, but I appreciate you guys watching the video.
