Week 18 Starts & Sits (Lineup Advice) | Fantasy Football 2023



Week 18 Starts & Sits (Lineup Advice) | Fantasy Football 2023

Well I feel like week 18 is doing the week 18 thing Bloom there’s more week 18 than this year I don’t know this is the week 18i EST of any week 18 of week 18s right what do you like to say see I was not even supposed to be here uh week 18

Was a thing only recently maybe it should have never been a thing but it is a thing so we’re a thing with week 18 we are a thing how about that you got a team here the word of the wise you want to dominate your league go to football

Guys football I’m living in a fantasy football got everybody M Meb cuz every game I had to winb I Got To Be A Champion I’m living in a fantasy why in the world is anyone playing fantasy football when nobody’s playing in the National Football League I don’t know but we’re here to talk

About it is the audible week 18 preview starting with Steelers and Ravens Mason Rudolph versus Tyler Huntley Bloom and I think because we’re doing every single game we can kind of combine everything also because well again there are so many players not playing on the Baltimore Side Lamar

Jackson’s not playing so that’s going to look different although Tyler huntley’s very capable uh this one’s at home for Baltimore these two teams always put on a show but it’s um Pittsburgh Steelers trying to fight and get help they have to win and get help right Baltimore is

Just kind of on cruise control don’t get anybody hurt you still got that amazing defense from Baltimore the Steelers aren’t going to lie down in this one so I’m not sure what to expect and if you’re still playing fantasy football I’m not sure what to expect from this

Entire week Bloom yeah and you know maybe this is a good week to say fantasy football doesn’t matter and let’s just watch some football let’s see what stories are set up for the playoffs some of them have already been set in motion some of them yet to be decided this

Game’s going to figure into that uh Steelers need to win and have Tennessee or Miami win you can see how they’ve segmented the schedule and ordered the game it’s the Buffalo Miami game intertwined with a lot of AFC Playoff scenarios so it’s the last game this is

The first game Steelers can still get in with a loss Denver needs to help them that’s not a good feeling uh uh and and look one of the things is everybody loved December 23rd I’m not going to sing I am going to come up with more

Excuses to sing in the future though I’m sorry if it bothers anybody because I enjoyed that it seems like people enjoyed that but indeed Rudolph will light the way like the way to the playoffs maybe what’s funny about this CE is you actually are seeing the Steelers

Offense come to life a true thunder and lightning when the lightning has some Thunder too in Harris and Warren and when you watch Harris’s running style I know running back’s first round pick maybe suspect in terms of resource allocations but when it’s that running back that can help you bow a constrictor

A game in the fourth quarter that’s gonna help you win which is the point right George Pickins and his Highwire act making plays downfield Deontay Johnson and his route running and his ability to get open it’s all coming together and they win and get some help it’ll come together in the playoffs for

Baltimore well just remember this strange week 18 this is why week 18 uh gives us so much consternation it’s better for Baltimore to lose this game it’s better for Baltimore to lose this game because if they lose and buffalo loses that’s going to make it really hard for Buffalo to make the playoffs

The Steelers winning this game makes it harder for Buffalo to make the playoffs if they lose so Baltimore has I mean who’s the team in the AFC bracket that is the biggest obstacle to Baltimore it’s Buffalo uh we will get to watch one of the things we’ll get to watch in week 18

Players looking to the Future Tyler Huntley still try trying to prove he deserves a chance tyon Wallace remember this guy returned a walk-off overtime punt return touchdown his first punt return in six years five years uh so anyway big story here for Baltimore though is it’s now or never if you’re

Gonna win a Super Bowl in Lamar Jackson era it’s not going to be set up better than it is for them this year yeah and honestly Bloom this is where the sports radio takes over with me because it’s like Mason Rudolph is looking better than Kenny picket oh yeah that’s not

Great that’s not great at all because if you’re the Steelers we know what the Steelers going to do right and God bless Kenny picket I like Kenny picket I don’t love Kenny picket but guess what they’re gonna do Bloom they’re gonna hold on to him they’re gonna go back they’re gonna

Keep propping it back up there and unless he learns for Mason Rudolph which could be possible players do improve right but like from what we’ve seen from picket enough buddy enough you need this is one of the richest quarterback drafts that we’ve seen in a while maybe since

2018 which I know not all of them were hits but like you got to go back up to the plate there’s your baseball reference Bloom the Steelers are going to f around sorry Joe but like that’s what we know what they’re gonna do well we got Kenny picket and we’ll keep

Building like no you need another quarterback and you just won’t do it yeah and I think that you know let’s look to Jordan love I mean hey maybe Kenny picket would have worked out as a first- round pick if he didn’t play until year three right and then Matt

Waldman chronicled this where can he pick it when the screws got tighter late games you saw all the bad Tendencies so maybe that was a sign that he needed to feel much more confident before those bad Tendencies because what we’re seeing is indecisiveness you know what we’re

Seeing is a lack of boldness and maybe M Mason Rudolph we didn’t see these things this Mason Rudolph we didn’t see three four years ago when the Steelers had him start a bunch of games so maybe that’s the key here again it’s always involving Six Degrees of listen to Matt Waldman

Yes that’s right that’s a good way to segue to our next game why it’s Houston and Indianapolis this one in Indie and looks like Zach Moss is going to return I mean I’m just thinking if you are playing fantasy Moss will return but it’s don’t believe they take anything

Away from Jonathan Taylor it just means well now Moss might get a little something there uh the Houston side of things and that confounding like we know what they should do in the back field but will they do it uh continue on there looking at that and then can they build

Momentum with CJ stad Collins and all their great assets and weapons Houston’s been a fun story to watch how does the story end in week 18 yeah I think that again the winner is in this game and winners in the playoffs uh if Jacksonville loses to Tennessee the winner will win the

Division title if there’s a tie both teams can get in and you know we’ve already seen once now the perverse nature of a tie helping teams and the teams play for a tie I hope that this one doesn’t end up that way CJ St can

Make an end up that way and CJ stoud story has been one of the best stories of the Year speaking of quarterbacks and success or failure belief in you can see it and it’s contagious Devin single he’s never stopped believing himself he’s got an incentive I don’t know what is 165

Yards or something like that he should be in week 18 lineups okay he’s going to be a good pick in playoff fantasy drafts if you see the Texans get through dton Schultz needs four receptions so you know for an incentive uh Noah Brown and Robert Woods are banged up this should

Be a big Xavier Collins I’m Xavier Nico Collins game and we are going to see Xavier Hutchinson and John mie play a little bit for our Dynasty futures um and this is a pretty amazing story for the Colts wow gner muu has them in a winin your in playoff game who had that

On their bingo card Shane styen might have and maybe that’s the biggest takeaway here we’re really excited about Anthony Richardson for fantasy and for NFL but Shane styken is maybe what we should be most excited about as he was able to stay the course in an unbelievably chaotic preseason

Unbelievably chaotic up and maybe working against your owner working against some of the things that you don’t have control over and they’ve gotten the best out of this teams you know we’re going to watch Josh DS develop Michael pitman’s a real number one Jonathan Taylor a Cornerstone of

This offense playing in front of the home crowd to get into the playoffs Cleveland in Cincinnati as we go to Sunday Sunday Sunday action you did audio test for me Bloom so you might want to repeat what you said when you tested it was like it’s exciting to

Watch Joe Flaco except we’re not going to watch Joe flacko this week so here we go week 18 football um yeah let’s just get through it baby but it’s Browns who are nobody you said the B biggest obstacle yeah busiest busiest biggest obstacle for the Ravens is the bills I won’t

Disagree with that but also say no nobody wants to play Cleveland nobody no no and whoever wins the AFC South will get to play Cleveland in the first round uh lose to Cleveland in the first round well we’ll see we’ll see hopefully Cleveland’s not thinking of it that way

Um it’ll be a while until we get another story as remarkable as this Joe flacko story I saw one CA said of course Joe flacko didn’t make the Pro Bowl because he’s going to be playing in the Super Bowl uh um you know watch Cedric Tillman David Bell Harrison Bryant’s gonna be

Looking for a contract are strong you know these are our dynasty of V guys and look I’m going to say this on the Cincinnati side because we kind of foresaw this but not this way whenever Joe burrow started the season heard that this might be a Lost season for this

Team and they didn’t treat it as a Lost season Joe burrow didn’t treat it as a Lost season and then he ended up getting hurt a different injury anyway and then Jake Browning and the organization didn’t treat it as a Lost season after that and they were in the playoff hunt

Until last week this is a good organization we’re back to the Bengals being a good organization watch taas Brown Charlie Jones Andre Yoshis in the Battle of Ohio yeah and uh Mano lancha one of my favorite uh avatars here when we bring up the comments on YouTube he’s

Like Aus Dynasty stash and that’s why week 18 one bloom I’m in Sports Talk radio mode where I want to just talk about the stories because you shouldn’t be playing week 18 but these players and I’ve said it um before on whatever show I talk a lot Bloom I’m sorry uh like

It’s a meaningless game it’s not meaningless for the players for multiple reasons it’s not meaningless for these players and that’s where guys like a yosis yes we will be watching them with great interest so that’s where my week 18 Intrigue comes from yeah and I I

Think that for the teams they’re in eval mode some have been in eval mode for a couple of weeks but you Willie Parker is the our Avatar here our poster child for week 17 week 18 changed can be your crystal ball it can be a look into the

Future so it might seem like a throwaway game certainly it’s a throwaway week for fantasy football but it’s not a throwaway week for knowing what might be coming in the future because you said the name Willie Parker there is oh you have it right there uhhuh yeah I still have a few

Copies left of the old footballguys.com magazine what sticks out from interviewing him what’s the first thing you remember when you inter got to interview him for that uh he was really nice to my son cuz my son this is 2007 so my son was 8 years old and I had Liam

Get on the phone with Willie and it was like the greatest thing ever um you know eight-year-old kid and having an NFL player that’s the thing I remember about interviewing Willie the most for this magazine was like he was really really cool to Liam and I I appreciate that you

Know so yeah that was cool but uh if you bring up the name Willie Parker Bloom I’m going to have to show everybody that there’s people may not even remember that we put out a magazine for three years I believe yeah uh because the fourth year was on dis and then the

Fifth year we didn’t do it but that yeah first cover athlete Tiki Barber second was a photosho Reggie Bush right in a Saints uniform and did dods do the Photoshop or have it done whatever sounds right the third was Willie Parker so there you go little uh

Trip down memory lane for the football guys and how about me the memories you remember the jiren hall era it’s about over although might get a little bit more of it Minnesota and Detroit Minnesota has chosen their starter it does not matter going up against Detroit it’s like okay Detroit building momentum

For the postseason let’s see what that looks like in this finale against the Vikings yeah Vikings can still get into the playoffs if they win and Green Green Bay Seattle and New Orleans or Tampa Bay lose uh this is where they’ve ended up I interject real quick please yeah yeah

Dude and this is what’s really bad and this is where I get kind of pissed off at Roger Goodell this is just bad football Minnesota can get Minnesota doesn’t deserve to be in the playoffs if the Broncos were still alive I’d say the same damn thing so it’s not a Broncos

Thing it is a Broncos show but I’m like no this is just bad football the league celebrates parody it’s not parody the we’re watching some terrible football this year yeah well and some of it is quarterback quarterback play is so important and see where I was going to

Go with this is we’ve always held out Kirk Cousins as the quarterback Purgatory quarterback like the cousins Meridian right when the Steelers drafted Kenny picket that’s where we started it was like well maybe he can be kurk cousins oh really you’re trying to make me feel better saying that but look how

Important is Kurt Cousins to this team maybe might say not that important because they didn’t start winning until Joshua dos became the starter but you can see what kind of chaos it is really thrown this offense into without Kirk Cousins and well we’ll see where Kirk

Cousins ends up next year uh as you know Minnesota’s probably not GNA make the playoffs we gonna watch Ty Chandler in this one the Detroit side becomes a lot more intriguing will Dan Campbell rest of starters he said he’s not going to it seems like the Dan Campbell style to say

I don’t care if anybody gets hurt we are going to keep playing football until the last whistle the clock says zeros because Detroit versus everybody CCE you familiar with that little slogan Detroit versus everybody you ever seen that like on the t-shirts and stuff okay you know that’s the Detroit mindset Detroit

Versus everybody and now you’ve really you remember Ron AR test and all that good stuff malice at the palace um now you really have this is kind of like Buffalo falling to six and six right now you really have a a story that allows you to pull the sword from the stone you

Know now the refs are against us right but isn’t that maybe where you can dig down and find that extra something that you didn’t know you had so I’m gonna be really interested to see how Detroit I think they played this one straight up I think they played this one angry and I

Think they played this one to put the league on notice that next time it won’t come down to a call on whether a tackle reported and if you have a lion that’s important in this offense I’d say you play them if you’re still playing week 18 fantasy football yeah I think people

Were asking us about that uh the was it Steve that asked about it in the chat today and then we did have some people on Saturday I think it was in the comments after the show which comment on this show because I’ll go back in and

And talk to y’all via comments most of them are kind and besides if you and I have to put up with Twitter Bloom YouTube comments are fine like it’s it’s about the same whatever baby it’s all good we we invite a certain community in and our community reacts as such but

Like come back to the comments but people were asking about that lion what do you think of the Lions why didn’t you talk about the Lions I’m like it’s Saturday baby we’re only talking about Sunday well I’ll just say real quick CE I don’t think that the lions are full of

A bunch of liars I don’t think the ref had the game fixed or malicious I think the ref made a mistake I mean you can go back and look at the pton Hendershot uh tripping tackle the only person trying to trip on that play was a

Lion so maybe I don’t know the edible is kicking in for that ref I don’t know but there were some problems not just on the lion side I think that ref was just not reliable hopefully they went back and objectively reviewed these things because there were two gamechanging

Calls in that play not just one without the tripping call and pton Hendershot maybe we never even have the two-point conversion I hope they check his bank account too because again and I’ll keep this brief because I’ve said it before but with the NFL in bed with Vegas and they’re not in

Bed to read stories they’re in bed to get it on like with them in bed with Vegas you can’t have that stuff yeah so like you know the NFL there used to be a time when we’d have to talk about the odds and hush tones are are flipping

Code I am gonna cuss on this show I think it’s week 18 Bloom I think I’ve had enough so this might be the show where you get to see on YouTube we’re allowed to cuss it’s like after the first 30 seconds or whatever right um I

Know Joe would hey buddy like Joe we love you that’s why I don’t cuss on this show Joe because I love you and I still love you but damn it I might have to cuss because this is uh it’s a little fishy on the football side of things

Will the lions in your opinion Bloom because uh the Broncos have gone four years without a thousand yard rusher and a thousand yard receiver the Lions could have two th yard rushers and it’s been a minute since we’ve seen that we’ve seen some along the way what Vic and work done uh what

The Browns did it back in the day like Le hord right was around kicking around on one of those thousand yard seasons so it does it Carolina did it de Andel Williams Jonathan Stewart I believe David mcgomery is what like 25 yards away don’t make me do math and I think

Jir Gibbs is like 85 yards away do you think they would go for that and kind of get the record with or not necessarily record but just get a a nice Mark where you have two 1,000 yard rushers and think about how they’ve done it dude

They have two 1,000 yard rushers on one of the most high-powered offenses in the league and it’s not just all about R most of the times when we see 20 yards on the ground if it’s one back or two it’s like that’s the offense no these

Guys are just a piece of that offense a very important piece yeah well I’ll say this I would expect that they’re just going to keep pedal to the Bal and they’re going to keep playing like you know everything depends on this game even though very little depends on this

Game unless Dallas loses so sure get them both over a thousand yards and you know we’ve seen also these backs used even interchangeably at the goal line so yeah I I do think was it was Detroit the team earlier this year that uh the running back let the other running back

Like said no no no you get in there you finish it was it momery was that gives momery I might be remember yeah so so there’s a if it was them there’s a sense that they may give you know the players some saying those things and I do think

You we’re going to watch this you heard Blain Gabbert talking about how many yards Travis Kelce is away from 10,000 so those things do matter in week 18 yeah they matter in week 18 and let’s keep the conversation going uh where are we at Jacksonville and Detroit or excuse me Jacksonville and

Tennessee sorry Jacksonville and Tennessee in this contest um it’s Thursday morning we’re doing one preview show this week everybody yeah um but I think it’s gonna be Ryan tanah Hill right do we know that yet has that been official yet with Will Levis then if you’re Tennessee this is where Bloom I I

Really want to go into our regular offseason mode today but it’s like I’m more I’m more interested in is Tennessee going to take a quarterback yeah would you take a Michael penx Jr or did will leish show you enough I can make the argument on both sides by the way that

He did show you enough and that he didn’t show you enough and again in this quarterback Rich league and it’s a Broncos show they’re in front of the Broncos in draft position yeah Michael pennick is the Broncos quarterback they want if Medicals check out but like if

You’re Tennessee it’s like do you want another Kenny picket on your hands right is Will Levis Kenny picket are they about the same you know what’s happening there but I suppose let’s talk about this game is Trevor Lawrence gonna play Christian Kirk has been activated in the

21-day window we don’t know yet if he’ll actually play this week but that window now is open for Kirk so uh some games aren’t very exciting this one has a little bit of intrigue yeah well a lot on the line here um Jacksonville wins the Division title if they lose lose

They can still get in if Pittsburgh and Denver lose and Houston and Indie don’t tie um was this a step forward you know last year they come out of the shadow of the Urban Meyer era and they win a playoff game they win a division was

This a step forward I don’t think so but maybe we we remembered as one if they can win the division and beat Cleveland next week Trevor Lawrence is banged up he’s like going to play Travis cn’s coming on with the 62 yard touchdown so maybe they put more on his shoulders and

Less on Trevor Lawrence’s injured shoulder Calvin Ridley you know this is a game for Calvin Ridley especially against the Tennessee secondary to show how important he was I still think the trade was successful for them uh on the Tennessee side like you said the story here is Will Levis remember that one

Week that everyone said wow all four teams in the AFC South have their quarterback that was a nice week remember that the will Lis era um because you’re right CE you know what you’ve seen is and again maybe it’s throwing these guys in as rookies or knowing which like Anthony Richardson

Should be in as a rookie CJ stoud should be in as a rookie as crazy it is with Bryce young we’ll talk about as number one overall pick maybe he just shouldn’t have been in as a rookie I think C and guess who’s been talking about this

Forever Matt Waldman I think that there is there’s a quarterback who’s going to learn on the job there’s a quarterback that is going to play at the limit of his abilities so go ahead and put him out there so he can make the mistakes and learn where that limit is and then

There were quarterbacks who were going to imprint and need confidence and need structure around them and also need to feel really ready to take on an NFL defense and if they’re thrown in before that happens then they’re never going to overcome that right they’re never going

To go in the extreme case it’d be like David Carr where he he just never had a chance Sam Bradford just never had a chance really never had a chance to get over the struggles they faced early and it seems like will Levis might be that kind of quarterback Kenny picket might

Be that kind of quarterback Jordan love might be that kind of quarterback and it just happens that circumstance kept him because Jordan love when he got in previous to this year looked like well Kenny picket and will Levis last dance with Derrik Henry makes my heart hurt a little to

Think about that CE you know I mean we did have some moments of Glory with Derrick Henry and a Titans uniform and at least in this 21st century NFL Mike Fel the Titans as much as we Bown the old school mentality and how that keeps this team from growing and coming into

The 21st century we did get to see Dereck Henry used the way that Derrick Henry should be used you know yeah finally remember it took him some years to get that thing going and most of the big games that he had were against who Jacksonville Jacksonville Jacksonville

So maybe he goes out to bang yeah and and I’ll just say this and we’ll talk Derrick Henry’s gonna be somewhere next year we’re g to talk about him in fantasy football but Derrick Henry I don’t care if he’s in the Hall of Fame what Derrick Henry is is an archetype

You’re not going to compare Derrick Henry to anybody no you’re gonna you’re gonna compare other players that come after Derrick Henry to Derrick Henry that’s the sign of greatness with a capital G um deand Hopkins has a like seven catches for an incentive Tai Spears chikio cono tayin Burks this is

The future of this team see what they do in this game yeah see what they do there and uh Tai Spear’s future that’s got me excited about that and now I’m thinking about Derrik Henry oh oh man Shaka you know why they call his nickname was Shaka because he was an unexpected

Baby all right there you go Derrick Henry man is the man um it’s amazing amazing that we we got to see that and here’s what’s going to happen with the Titans they’re going to stay the same almost in a way like the Steelers although the Tommy madx era was there

But it’s like because Trends change in the NFL and so when the trend goes back the sto clock exactly you’ll be like we were here this whole time that’s what we do in New Orleans man oh there you go there you go they say we’re so far

Behind that we’re ahead you make me happy Bloom New Orleans internet does not but you make me happy so that’s that’s good that’s a positive right let’s talk about the G Jets and New England why can I not line up the teams uh it must be the glaucoma uh New

York Jets New England Patriots I could give a blank yeah about either one of these teams but is it bellich last harah I suppose that’s the way I’ll talk them yeah I mean on the jet side it’s the Bree and and Garrett show Bree Hall and Garrett Wilson and maybe Aaron Rogers is

Aaron Rogers preparing for his next career oh I’ll leave that alone the end of an era it’s got to be the end of an era right there was a stat that came out um on the athletic that is really astounding like really try to digest this since 2013 the Patriots have not

Signed any first second or third round picks two second contract any zero not one since 2013 the failure here is the failure of belich as a GM not belich as a coach and what you miss if you’re not if you’re on football guy staff you’d be part of base

Camp and you get to see our discussion our internal discussions and then we were discussing this over at Bas camp and Matt Waldman brought up um when Dante scaria was on the ringer podcast a couple of years ago and he was talking about their process and he said it was

Very eye- openening for him but not in the way I think that scaria intended because what scaria detailed is that belich bringing in the position coaches at the end of the process was basically overruling his Scouts and that’s not the way to do it he laid out hey there’s another way to

Do it where this position coaches teach the scouts what they want and the scouts look for that in their evaluation but that’s not how the Patriots did it if you’re looking for Clues here so I’m afraid that bich is going to be bich the emperor GM King coach wherever he ends

Up next but maybe he needs some young whipper snapper to teach him some new tricks teach some new tricks see what can happen there see what’s up next for the audible as we’re talking about all the games down in your neck of the woods Atlanta and New Orleans and likely

Desmond Ritter again week 18 everybody week 18 and maybe no Alvin Kamar on the flip side so a couple of things to talk about but again this is one of those like all right all right they hate each other the cities hate each other whatever but it’s like um not really

Gonna be dialed into this one blo yeah well it’s there’s mediocrity it could have been more if there was not so much mediocrity it is the NFC South title game if Tampa loses to Carolina and New Orleans can get in if they win and Seattle and Green Bay lose they can get

In anyway is it Ritter is it hinei does it matter again CE I hate to say this but as fantasy football players we’re probably rooting for Atlanta to lose this game and for it to get Arthur Smith fired because never before well Gees when was the is there even another team

We’ve seen that had top 10 picks at tight end wide receiver and running back has that ever even happened before because so few tight ends have gone in the top 10 right probably not it probably has never even happened before so it’s really incredible that this constellation happened and instead uh

The poers out and um great the first time these two teams played there’s a few rematches this week because both two teams are playing for both the teams are playing for something we can go back to the first matchup this year and at least see if there’s anything predictive there

Won that first game it was massive for the Falcons running game even cordal Patterson had 43 yards rushing in that game I think as a team uh the three running backs together had almost 200 yards it was a huge game for bejon Robinson so the up down with bejon you

Know you’re playing some props playing some DFS maybe this even Drake London had five for 91 in that game on the Saints side uh watch the practice support for Jaan Johnson Alvin CA um in the first game it was 300 passing yards for Derek Carr Chris lave the tight ends

Had a pretty big game and Derek Carr is healthier and Derek Carr is playing better so that’s what to look for here I think on the Saints side and like you said CE uh this one means something but only because these teams underachieved yeah and we’ll see what the future hold

We’re going to move forward with Dennis Allen and Arthur Smith which means weekk next year we’ll be saying the same God blessed thing Tampa Bay Carolina you mentioned if the Buccaneers they’re not gonna lose um I do want to see something please I like Bryce young I like him a

Lot I can’t stand Dave Tupper um there’s a large conversation that I’ll save for time about that um but hey Baker the B maker he’s banged up you know he’s going to play Baby like he’s just going to get out there and sling it I love Mike Evans

Rashad white has done his thing but please football gods and even if we don’t see anything in this week Bryce young is not a bust yet but I just want to see flashes of what I know he can be someone figure this out please the kids

Got talent but Talent can only take you so far let’s see what he looks like this week in see how Tampa rolls over him yeah what a Redemption year for Baker Mayfield for Mike Evans remember coming out of last year Mike Evans won fantasy football championships for us in week 17

But was pretty quiet the rest of the season and there was talk is he declining no he’s not no he’s not um and Rashad white also had a year not a Redemption year but an arrival uh proving himself and it took a while so this has been in a year again the Rams

The Bucks you know bucks just need to win to get into the playoffs not rebuilding retooling uh contrast that with New England in the post Tom Brady era um David teer thought it was interesting like you said see bigger conversation but let’s just touch on this while we’re

On the Panthers you he threw a drink on a Jacksonville fan did one of those non-apology apologies go find $300,000 now for him $300,000 is the same for like you know $3 for us okay but it is still a public rebuke on behalf of the other 31 members of the cartel right I

Mean it is a message it is saying like we don’t approve of this it’s not even someone saying well maybe he should watch who he throws but would he listen giving up $3 right and that’s the that’s where the larger conversation comes in he’s worth 700 billion billion zillion trillion

Yeah he’s Dr Evil with a football team right he’s a u Joe’s gonna get mad at me like he there’s probably moronic Tendencies and uh all that money doesn’t make you a good person evidence Dave teer yeah so we’ll see um maybe give this 2023 Panthers team something to be

Proud of by playing spoiler upsetting the Bucks denying them from going to the playoffs they can still get to the playoffs they lose in some ways um and giving Bryce young something to build on cease but I do think unfortunately with all of the organizational stuff going against Bryce young you’re still seeing

That a quarterback who goes number one overall just as Baker Mayfield showed he should not have gone number one overall a quarterback who goes number one overall should have the ability to overcome those things I’m not saying overcome them and make them a Super Bowl champion I’m saying that even that show

On a play- to-play basis as you watch them even if they’re dropped into well the kind of surroundings that make a team pick number one overall they can still show you why they were the number one overall pick and see like you said we’re still looking for that still

Looking for that one um let’s talk about this next one bloom because it’s very very interesting to me Chicago and Green Bay one team has found their quarterback of the future one team has found their quarterback of the future and then maybe lost their quarterback and then but

Maybe he still is but I don’t know and the draft and number one and Caleb Williams like Chicago Green Bay yeah they’re gonna play but my God the off season for the Bears is going to be one to watch yeah will be we’ll get to Arizona talk about that maybe there’s

Not as much Intrigue maybe there is but yeah with uh Chicago and Green Bay’s in with a win so Chicago can play spoiler and this is one of those rivalries where the bad feelings Run Deep or at the very least it’s not quite like New Orleans Atlanta where players will remember how

You did in that game like the college rivalries but it is a pretty big rivalry are they going forward with Fields I’ve probably seen enough uh I mean we offseason we’ll get into the discussion but I think the Bears if they’re going forward with Ryan and Matt part two Ryan

And Matt part two are probably going forward with Justin fields and building around him and of course we’re going to watch maybe Tyler Scott play a little more in this game Roshan Johnson play a little more in this game on the Green Bay Side I do want to take a moment out

And I’ll eat my Crow here Matt laflor had the last laugh and the Josiah deguara pick was terrible and the AJ Dylan pick was terrible remember they just they were this close to going to the Super Bowl and they took Jordan love AJ Dylan and josi duara in the first

Three rounds and we said I think back then sees well if Jordan love ends up being the quarterback of the future it doesn’t matter well guess what Jordan Love’s the quarterback of the future so it doesn’t matter and this team has a lot going on for them uh we should see

Christian Watson return for this game we should see Jaden Reed uh back after he left at halftime um Aaron Jones is peing You’ love to see that we might even see Luke Musgrave come back this is something to consider we haven’t even seen all the pieces that are all going

To get better assembled around Jordan love yet this year they’ve all been hurt on and off maybe that’s the story and I’ll say this ceas it’s not difficult to Picture This Packers team going into Dallas going into Detroit and winning in the first round of the

Playoffs all right let’s roll on as we continue to talk about these games and oh God it’s Denver it’s the leers I’m not going to belabor this at all uh more interested in zamir white right um and Jared SDM will only if he plays well will only be nice backup for Michael

Penck right or Jaden Daniels and that’s uh take it as Lassie barks take it whatever you want the Broncos are going to move up for a quarterback so let’s just fast forward to that which means fast forwarding as fast as you can bloom past Broncos and Raiders yeah I think

With Denver see addressed it I only had one line for my Denver preview what does the future of this team look like a quarterback and then we’ll see from there there are some pieces on the Raider side zir white you mentioned um adid o Connell maybe what’s the will

There to move up for a quarterback um you also saw Michael Mayer banged up unfortunately Trey Tucker uh deep Ball action for them helping you know it’s the Raiders they’re going to have a vertical element to the passing game and that’s the best could do yeah that’s the best you can do

But think about Aiden oconnell real quick I would feel better about going forward with Aiden oconnell than going forward with Kenny picket I’d feel better about going forward with Aiden oconnell than going forward with Bryce young like uh you’ve seen enough from the kids you know it’s not great

Whatever but it’s not terrible and it’s not an embarrassment the way that picket has been embarrassing the way that young has been embarrassing so yeah and see I’ll I’ll say this on that note we what’s one of the phrases I certainly like to use when we talk about

Quarterbacks when we first get to see them get on the field in an NFL game this could apply to Jake Browning is the game too big for them the game’s not too big for Aden oconnell no the game doesn’t look too big for Jake Browning I don’t think it was an exaggeration when

One of the opposing coaches said when we were watching Jake Browning we had to wipe our like rub our eyes and say wait was that Joe burrow or Jake Browning there’s no point when you’re mixing Kenny pick itup with Kirk Cousins right there’s no point when you’re mixing

Bryce young up with Drew Brees or something like that so that’s the problem and I think that you’re right to point out that success of the team stats whatever you can watch a player and say is he growing from his mistakes does is from a psychological emotional spiritual

Standpoint does it seem like he understands the challenge and he’s ready to take it on or is he shrinking away from that challenge and since we’re obsessed with Kenny picket as we should be Steelers fans I I don’t see Kenny picket rising to that challenge yeah

Amano asks is there a role for Jalil in this offense long term I mean as the Joker it’s probably going to be someone else leading the Back Field to be a running back competition next year gavon may be better next year because he’ll be more than a year removed from that

Horrific knee injury but like jil’s got a ceiling on his game he’s not Alvin Kamar so you know wherever that ceiling’s at he is a joker which means and he’s asked to Groll his role in the passing game with Shawn pyton so uh you know put a pin in that don’t expect a

Ton uh from from jalile just because of his size and well that’ll limit how much they use him moving on to our next game up it looks like Philadelphia and the Giants what is the uh meme of the stick figure like poking the thing on the ground come on do something Phil

Philadelphia dude yeah somewhere Jason wood is very upset going up against tur rod and the Giants and this one in well I was going to say New York but New Jersey whatever right I hate when people get technical like that yeah let’s go down to Dallas watch the C they actually

Play CL 49ers exactly I’m like oh for it’s like when you watch uh Rogue one and you see the adats blown up and then it’s like well that’s actually not an Adat it’s an at ATC so it’s not as uh you know not as durable as the Hoth adats that you saw

Run rough shot over the rebel base are they self-driving they should be as blind as Stormtroopers are like H yeah see you got it right on this one I mean I think the interesting thing about the Eagles is we generally believe that the momentum a team has positive or

Negative going into the playoffs carries over to the playoffs but not always the Eagles have nothing but negative momentum right now but they are also a team that had uh with different coordinators uh this team the same team basically in the Super Bowl so we’ll see uh dvon Smith banged up again unless

Dallas loses nothing for them to gain lots of questions for this Giants team but I will say this they’re going to put up a fight they’re going to put up a fight in this game and to Rod Taylor for fantasies interesting this week for props and so on and I’ll be watching are

We gonna see more of Jaylen hayatt are we gonna see more of Eric gray remember saquon Barkley not under contract for next year um and ju Del Robinson I know has been a favorite of ours the little bit of time that he’s been healthy uh and you know

You brought up jul mclin I mean this is another player who physically maybe doesn’t fit the classic roles in an offense but in 21st century offenses you can find a role they have found a role and he was impactful last week and even though the Giants didn’t really take a

Step forward and yes their questions hey yet another team so I’ll I’ll put this out there CE as a preview of some of the stuff we’re going to be talking about in the offseason we can probably make a list of eight teams 10 teams right Baltimore Miami Kansas City

Buffalo Philadelphia you you can go down the list Houston there aren’t that many teams that should feel free to just ignore this quarterback draft class this is a one of the most important draft quarterback classes to get right like you said see last five years last 10

Years last 20 years it’s going to be franchise changing and franchise changing doesn’t just mean do you take the right quarterback or even do you take a quarterback because sometimes the decision to not take a quarterback is franchise changing like Steelers could have taken Lamar Jackson over Edmonds

For Broncos took it should have taken Josh Allen instead of Bradley chub for example so the Giants are one of those organizations doesn’t matter how much money you lose if you’re Daniel Jones isn’t your starter if you have a chance starters the caliber of Daniels starters the caliber of pennx they go

Number one or number two overall in every draft probably except this one yep yep yep yep oh offseason mode is more fun than week 18 Seattle and Arizona now let’s take that same conversation Bloom and put it towards Seattle Gino Smith is all right Drew Lock’s a little less than

That but he’s all right as well and Pete carrols won with just an allright quarterback he won a Super Bowl with that guy his name is Russell Wilson yeah yeah but it’s like okay do you really want to go forward with you know the you know the airline food or the hospital

Food yeah it’s going to get you by but wouldn’t a steak be nice right right well again Seattle’s one of those teams uh everybody’s got to work up this quarterback class and figure out where they fit in there but I will say this I think we can say definitively with

Another year of data they’re better off with Gino than they were with Russell Wilson they it ended up franchise changing was not going down with the Russell Wilson ship and whatever we say about Gino and how far he can get this team as a franchise they’re better off I

Mean look just the fact that we don’t see the Jamal trade as crippling for this team the Russell Wilson trade was part of that Kenneth Walker fighting through his injury we’ll see if he can last this game Jack Smith and jiga coming on on the Arizona side you have

Jonathan Ganon saying yeah basically of course chuckling Kyler’s our guy now a lot of cardinals folks will say if you’re were paying attention you should have always known that Kyler was the guy it didn’t even really matter what Kyler did now other folks I Blake Allen Murphy’s one of my favorite people

Covering any team says maybe it’s that nobody else wants the contract you know maybe it’s just that they already know they’re stuck with Kyler Murray I don’t want to paraphrase him but you know that’s part of this picture maybe it isn’t that they love and embrace Kyler

Murray but it does look like at this point if you’re were a betting person you would say bet on Kyler Murray starting week one for Arizona and playing spoiler Seattle win and a Green Bay loss and they get in James Connor has won himself at five plus million a

Job for next year Watching Trey McBride we’re not asking what his role is going to be in the future we’re seeing it Michael Wilson could he be the number one receiver for this team next year rondale Moore there’s someone you’re saying poking with a stick and saying do

Something they spoiled Philly last week they’re gonna be up for spoiling Seattle this week yeah let’s uh talk about the next game up it is Kansas City and Los Angeles Philly fans are pointing at Kansas City like Kansas City fans are pointing at Philly but uh a a fantastic team and maybe some

More flashes from younger players rushy rice by the way when everyone’s like they don’t have a number one well they don’t have Tyreek but rashy rice is a talented player on on to come up so keep watching that Chargers have been in Cancun modes for a month something like that so uh

Yeah there you go one two three Cancun although when you’re the Chargers and you formerly from San Diego just go right down the road baby little Tiana we’ll make you set you right yeah the north county uh San Diego delmare nenitas that’s where I’m gonna be Bloom

Yeah it’s a good place I’ll doing that show right near the beach I’ll be meeting you there um we’ll be like uh the end of uh sha Shank Redemption right M where it’s like well I’ll be making the boat on the beach and I’ll just look over and you’ll be carrying your

Suitcase we’ll both be evading the authorities yes always I’d be down for it yeah yeah let’s meet up what’s in your briefcase what’s in the box right uh what’s in the Kansas City box L Michael perine daer Prince I mean Justin Ross you know we’ll watch these guys this is a weak in

Kansas City team the setting for the playoffs is does that do they make all that not matter because they’ve been there done that this is also the best defense they’ve had in their Dynasty era um for the Chargers just what a mess what a mess see it almost makes you

Think about the sad sad love stories right where you you can be at the end and reflect back on how much hope and how much optimism there was at the beginning with Brandon Staley and Justin Herbert still on a rookie contract and where have we ended up well they have

Justin Herbert and I don’t know Gerwin James I mean they have a who are the pieces the offensive line it’s just sad for the charers fans that are left I I feel for you folks because you’re putting in your heart and you’re not getting anything back yeah Luke says he

Knows a few folks down in the island so hook a brother up oh yeah that’s right uh isos stalis mueres uh I had a buddy of mine Matt Campbell shout out Matt Campbell who went down there for a vacation uh actually writing a comic book about that

Island now anyway KRA look into kabra okay I think it’s like a cobra kabra okay let’s uh Spanish Virgin Islands look into the Los Angeles Rams versus the San Francisco 49ers and it’s a Sam darnold show and it’s uh oh God Carson Wentz yes

I put this in the uh I put put this in the newswire like you know a few years ago Carson Wentz versus Sam darnold you’d be like what a matchup oh my gosh and now you’re just like although the Sam Dar I’m telling you if there was a Jeff Hostetler in today’s

NFL meaning backup right that could win the Super Bowl his name is Sam darnold with Kyle shanon Kyle loves him Kyle loves him yeah so yeah you’re right and I guess it’s just we could pend a whole hour on the darnold and went stories um six versus seven doesn’t matter to the Rams

But puka nakua setting some rookie records probably does so puka is looking good here see some Ronnie Rivers some Davis Allen we’ll see some Jordan Mason maybe some Jennings some Ronnie Bell that’s a guy I’m excited to watch in the San Francisco offense with Sam darnold

Yeah there you go uh moving right along well that was a quick one blue uh some of them are like that Dallas and Washington another quick one yeah and God bless America I feel so bad for jacobe brassett like he looked good in relief of how for two weeks then he’s

Going to start then a hamstring injury on Thursday and now it’s back to how so say goodbye to Ron Rivera and Eric be enemy and say hello to I don’t even know my little friend uh Sam how’s my little friend I don’t know um Dallas wins and

They get the number two seed which is important because they’re just a different team at home and they still would need San Francisco to get just like the Steelers always needed the Patriots to get upset but it happens um and Dallas you you like the Dallas

Offense in this one um and then we’ll see we’ll see this is a Super Bowl College bar roster Super Bowl col coaches franchise we’ll see the Washington CE what is we talk about some of these teams like what’s the bridge to the future I mean what is the bridge to

The Future for Washington boy this is a team that if they don’t come out of this draft with a quarterback what are you thinking what are you doing even if you have to make the same kind of trade that Carolina did um I don’t even know CU see

You know as we’re going through some of these teams have nothing to play for this week I’m I’m saying well they’re going to see more out of this player for the future who is that for Washington is it Johan Dodson well he was supposed to arrive this year he kind

Of arrived last year right okay Brian Robinson uh I mean what’s the future of this team the future of this team is on the Bears roster revitalizing the Bears defense it’s somebody Chase young chasing a ring as part of the 49ers defense so it it’s tough and Washington

Fans there are still lots and lots of Washington fans and that guess all they can root for or be happy about is that they know that Dan Snider is not connected to their team anymore congratulations maybe that’s it CE maybe it’s like turning around a cruise ship

To get rid of Dan Snider and the Dan Snider stink you got to stink for a little while yeah you gotta have that stank on you what is it buttermilk if you get sprayed by a skunk what do you bathe there’s a tomato juice tomato I think it’s tomato juice is it tomato

Juice yeah yeah so there you go all right uh Hot Tips hot bath tips here on the audible Cil Lamy Sigma Bloom wrapping it up this one deserves a little bit more yeah Buffalo and Miami just talking to my best friend Big E last night telling

Him how burned out I was and I was like oh please tell me your bills are going to get it done please uh on the Miami side it’s like okay it was supposed to be different um so you know momentum into the post season all these sorts of

Things Buffalo could continue to build that there’s quiet storm brewing it is with the Buffalo Bills but let’s talk about this one that’s an all-time great song you know the song Quiet Storm SMY Robinson no oh look it up man okay when I was a kid listening to

Wo wamo in in Pittsburgh um and I they weren’t the only station that did it they had a a show that went from like 10 or 11: p.m. to like 4 in the morning or something called Quiet Storm it was all the we should start that on Pirate Radio

On like uh on on YouTube like I think that’s where we end up Bloom we end up on a beach in Mexico and then we’re just doing like Pirate Radio playing like old songs you know yeah yeah absolutely you you have the heavy metal show I’ve got

The the The Quiet Storm um and we collaborate on the on the hip-hop show um oh wow what a game AFC East title on the line and for Buffalo the playoffs on the line and this not really a perfect picture of just how fragile it all is um

How fragile it all is when you strive for something greater than yourself because arguably if Buffalo can win this game and they won 4820 in the first matchup if Buffalo can win this game cease they will be better prepared to make the march to the Super Bowl than

They have been at any other point in the Josh Allen sha mcdermit era right but if if if things don’t break their way and they lose they won’t even go to the playoffs unless Pittsburgh loses and Jacksonville loses but remember they’re already going to know and you need will

Levis to come through for you you need Tyler Huntley to come through for you you got to win this game you’re going to the playoffs okay what will this offense look like Stefon Diggs had three touchdowns in the first game Stan Diggs has like one touchdown in the second

Half of the season do they have the ability now and here’s the thing do they need to go run heavy do they need to be conservative and short passing because they have developed those parts of the offense this year or or does Joe Brady understand how to use

The posturing of that to even more so soften up a dolphin’s defense and look this is sad because Mike McDaniel we love Mike McDaniel again Stephen Ross wanted this to be Brady and Payton instead it’s Mike McDaniel and Tua and it’s looking good it’s it’s on schedule

Except Jaylen wd’s banged up R Mo’s banged up Bradley chub’s on IR J Jaylen Phillips is on IR so I mean for the bills it’s honestly an immense disappointment if you can’t go in and beat the Dolphins a weaken Dolphins team knowing your life depends on it that you

Were never worthy of a Super Bowl anyway uh and also we’ll see D concade if Dawson Knox is out play a little more um and then on the Miami side SE I think it’s just Mike McDaniel and Tyreek Hill and Tua basically like can that be enough Devon Anan I guess because he

Looked pretty good last week can the speed and the scheming and Tu a tongue of iloa and quick accuracy can that be enough uh this is going to be a game I think either that makes us really excited to watch the Bills in the playoffs or makes us so disappointed in

The bills but really makes us need to tip our hats to Mike McDaniel to a Tong of byoa and also the biggest game changer that’s not a quarterback in the league Tyreek Hill that is correct Jimmy says Quiet Storm also reminds yeah Char either way

I love her so oh my yes I mean you talk about like perfect artist that’s although I can’t pronounce her name Sade shade I always said s Shard I’ve always seen it like Shard I hope she go I mean if this is one of those there’s a short list of shows Tom

Weights is probably the top of it that I would travel to see like would go to New York or San Francisco like I would you know cash in some life savings to see and that Shard please please I saw the internet is making new music again please the internet come back please air

Air is back too that’s another one they’re back playing Moon Safari only in Europe Air is back in playing Moon Safari I guess we got to get our passports together then yeah I know mine’s out of it’s expired I’ve never had one not sure if I can get one

I’ve toyed with the idea of like we should just do a show every day or every other day day for like 20 minutes cuz one we’d have the time and two it’s not as doesn’t bog you down like the regular season I’ve said it before the regular

Season is a flipping grind and then the draft season gets here and I’m like the Phoenix Bloom rising from the ashes now with better hair yeah the hair really that’s what we have from the season ceas is The Return of the y’all got to see it in real time

Jeans there from the Gonzalez side although my grandpa Paul Gonzalez and I didn’t know this until his funeral Bloom he was adopted his real dad’s name was Santos celios oh so I say Gonzalez because the Gonzalez family adopted him and that’s my mother’s maiden name is Gonzalez but it’s like oh Santos celios

So there you go oh there’s a story that starts there yeah um rumor has it that he was a lawyer for Poncho Villa oh wow that’s of course for my uncle basil who’s like he’s he’s he he used to embellish things so like uh I just heard that and

I think he might have wrote it again around Grandpa Paul’s Funeral but we got to do a Pono viia episode we’re going to do a Pono viia episode we do we should we should um and then I got to do the what is the the 23 and me what is it

What is the one geny the genealogy stuff yeah yeah yeah yeah for sure for sure all right we’d all be shocked boom we’re shocked we’re all connected the father is go Bryant start doing the dance right there you go we are all interconnected by the way super big announcement for the end of

  1. @CecilLammey Have you ever watched the documentary "An Unauthorized History of the NFL"?

    It was shown one time, on PBS in 1983 then never again on TV. It revealed that illegal gambling on just the NFL was $3 billion in 1983.
    The young up and coming reporter also died about 6 months after it was shown under totally non-mysterious circumstances (like drowning in a lake in a park in her car) as determined by the coroner.
    It survives on YouTube
    If you watch it, you will find that everything that the NFL tried to prevent and was worried about back then is going on today under fantasy football. Kraft owns 25% of draft kings. There is a franchise in Vegas.
    I think it's easily worth the 45 minutes of time.

    Point of interest – there are two systems of death in the US, coroner and medical examiner – one is politically appointed with no training and the other must be a licensed medical doctor.

  2. really enjoyed the Audible this year – tuned in more than i ever had before – the vibez are immaculate

  3. Another great season of the AUDIBLE! Been listening since the early days. Sig and Cecil are the BEST. Playoff previews and recaps would be AWESOME!! Stay FROSTY!!

  4. Love the hair Cece! From one strong middle age hairline to another, respect. Thanks for creating such a great space year after year

  5. The reason I watch on week 18 is that for DFS and Weekly drafts, this is a great week to cleanup. And although I know Footballguys have DFS specific content, they give facts, Cec and Sig draw pictures. When Hall, White and Conner are on top of the running back lists for the week, I want to know why. You guys are unrivaled at explaining why

  6. New subscriber here – love your shows! Won my championship in one league and am in the other but stupid week 18. Thanks for helping me get there!

  7. HEY Sig, did you also listen to Pork the Tork, your platter pushin papa on WAMO? Porky Chedwick was a classic, playin the oldies that were almost, and making them hits.

  8. Hey Cec, even though most championships are over before week eighteen. We still have weekly prizes available. There are only eighteen weeks so why not take advantage of the last week in some way. Also there are playoff drafts, where as long as your players team is alive you countinue to score points all the way to the SB. It's nice to keep up on injuries and other news, they do help if you are in these playoff drafts.

  9. Another great season gentleman. Week #18 thought…my league can't be the only one that does a week #18, pick your best line-up from the entire league set-up. Maybe take a couple minutes to give us your thoughts on line-up suggestions for this? Thanks again, went one ship out of two leagues with your help.

  10. There is no incentive to sit rookie Quarterbacks on the bench anymore since they changed the practice rules. Justin Fields' development as a QB in this league was torpedoed because he was holding a MS Surface the first month of the 2021 season, and then he suddenly found himself starting every week. Giving all of the first team reps to Andy Dalton was a waste of everyone's time.
