Uh, first one is Jalen Warren for Pittsburgh at Detroit, or Michael Carter, Arizona. We've been talking about them a lot versus Atlanta. Who do I start? Who do I sit, and, and why? Well, this one is pretty close and I understand why, because, you know, Jalen Warren's had a pretty good season, but it's weird because somehow Kenneth Gamewell became Jalen Warren and Jalen Warren became Naji Harris at some point in the season. I don't, I don't know how that happened. Uh, uh, I don't, my brain doesn't compute it, but as we mentioned at the top of the show, Bam Knight is out, which means the full workload is basically going to Michael Carter. A Mario DeMarcado, I don't see him being a big issue in this game. So I think Michael Carter gets the lion's share. And because of the uncertainty of what's going on, and also the fact that It does feel like the Pittsburgh Steelers could be in a hole in this game, then it means you're probably gonna be seeing maybe Kenneth Gainwell work a little bit more in that passing game. That's been the favor lately of Aaron Rodgers. So I'm gonna go ahead and play Michael Carter, take the volume, take as much as I can out of that, and hopefully move on. I still like the over on the total in that game as well. I don't expect a lot of defense, I expect a lot of scoring. I think both teams get to over 24 points in that game. So, I think we're gonna be in a good spot here for Michael Carter. He has touchdown equity as well, perhaps even more than Jalen Warren, uh, in that scenario too. So, give me Michael Carter and the full workload for the Arizona Cardinals over Jalen Warren in week 16. All right. Moving on. Buffalo is at Cleveland, the Chargers are at Dallas. This question, is Khalil Shakir for Buffalo at Cleveland or Keenan Allen, Chargers at Dallas? Which way, Joe? Again, very close here. Uh, Keenan Allen, a guy that started off red hot and we talked a lot about him and a lot about, you know, well, you know, the older players, he gonna slow down a little bit, and he has, but also Justin Herbert's injuries have kind of slowed things down along with all the injuries to the offensive line. So, complicated there for Keenan Allen and Khalil Shakira, I think, has a bit of a, a, a ceiling of what he can do necessarily. Now, look, this is a, a trickier. situation for him in the matchup against uh the Cleveland Browns, and I think I will give the lean here towards Keenan Allen. Uh, Keenan Allen against the Dallas Cowboys for me as a player that I think whenever you have the Dallas Cowboys on that slate, you gotta take your shots. There's going to be opportunities. Now, QJ is back too, so it does get a little muddy there potentially for the Chargers and Justin Herbert is not 100% by any stretch of the means. But the Dallas Cowboys somehow continue to be that gift that keeps on giving. So this holiday season, give me Keenan Allen, uh, to be that gift, and I'll take my steady 12 points and get out. I think there's a floor with both these guys, but again, not too much of a ceiling. All right, now, talking about these Dallas Cowboys and the gift that keeps on giving. This next question is a tight end question. It involves Jake Ferguson, Dallas versus the Chargers, or Tyler Warren. Indianapolis against San Francisco. That's, that's gonna be a, a real telling game, I think. It is, uh, the, the, the tricky part here with the Cowboys situation is whenever you get everybody on the field, when you get Pickens, when you get Lamb, all of a sudden the Ferguson kind of disappears a little bit. Now, Tyler Warren, unfortunately has Philip Rivers here, which isn't the greatest situation. Now, he did have 6 targets in that game, that's a positive, but the last 3 weeks, he hasn't had more than 22 receiving yards. So, I understand in the rankings, Tyler Warren and the consensus on fantasy pros is ranked higher than Ferguson. I'm gonna roll my dice with Dak Prescott and see what happens here in this one. So I'll take Ferguson in this one. I think he's got more touchdown equity. Um, I just don't think that Tyler Warren, unfortunately, is, it's not about talent, right? Like Tyler Warren is the guy that you want on your roster. But it's the scenario surrounding that talent, and I'm not trying to get too cute at the end or overthink things. I'm looking at this very brass tacks, which is, hey, one guy's playing in the dome with Dak Prescott, who's been great all year, slinging the football, capable of a 300 yard game easily this week against the Chargers, or a 44-year-old quarterback who just came off, you know, the, the couch, actually not even the couch, the high school football field. Let's give him a little bit more credit than that. Uh, and then to the couch. But that's a tougher scenario, even if Riley Leonard ends up playing at some point in this game too, or Anthony Richardson or anybody else they want to get at some point. Tyler Warren's fantasy value the rest of the year to me is highly questionable, so I'll take Ferguson in this scenario.
