Is Trey Benson in the room with us now?

“What this offense really needs is more hitch routes.” - Nick

All the Bills have is YAC. Hard to have anything else with a 1.4-yard aDoT from Allen last week. Football malpractice.

Another satisfied customer.

In TyGod we trust.

And the reason issssssss…it’s broken.

Hoopes There It Is: Week 13 Game Preview 👇

• Chiefs back atop PROE, but the run game is still a problem
• Cards, Cowboys, Bengals, Rams passing volume we want to chase
• A few implied totals that say more than the spreads

11 targets - 2 TDs = … mother of god

Single-handedly willing Jaylin Noel into existence.

On behalf of the Eagles, we gladly accept LaFleur.

He still has not done something fun. I’ll keep you posted, though.

Would take Geno attempting one (1) pass down the field.

The 1/1/1 line is hilarious

Ahh well nevertheless

*15 Jaleel McLaughlin carries per game*

“Ahh well nevertheless”

You're goddamn right. 29. Jaylin Noel, Houston Texans (75.7) After seeing zero targets in the Texans' Week 9 matchup against the Broncos, Noel landed four against the Jaguars, bringing in each one for 35 yards. He converted two late downs on a second-half drive as Houston mounted its comeback. He also recorded a 27-yard catch against busted coverage early in the second quarter. Noel now has 18 catches for 197 yards on the season. He has gained 11 first downs, caught a touchdown pass and accounted for five plays of 20-plus yards. He has been targeted 10 times on conversion downs, bringing in nine catches for 61 yards and six first downs. The Iowa State product owns a 77.4 PFF receiving grade on those plays, ranking second among rookies with at least 10 targets. The third-round pick has also secured five of seven deep targets for 143 yards and a 98.1 PFF receiving grade (eighth best). Noel is also used extensively as a punt returner, having returned 18 punts for 206 yards. He has forced 12 missed tackles en route to a 72.1 PFF punt-return grade.

PFF's second-highest graded rookie receiver? You guessed it: Jaylin Noel. Shoutout my fellow propagandists @stephenhoopes.bsky.social @riversmccown.bsky.social and shoutout Lauren Gray, who does some of the best WR work in all the land

Maybe if there's weather involved. But the Bucs' run defense is so good that opponents tend to skew more toward the pass. But when they do run, yeah, I could see some 2-TE sets for sure. They're 13th in rush attempts in 2-TE sets and both Knox and Hawes grade out well in run blocking.

This is just dropbacks but that's what we care about in fantasy anyway. The Bills are really successful passing out of 2-TE sets but they very rarely do it. And without Kincaid and with Shakir and Palmer good to go, I guess I would think still pretty limited 2-TE dropbacks.

Would also toss in a gambling reference that makes it seem like you can only do it through back-alley bookies rather than every single commercial being Draftkings or Fanduel.

I wonder if Aaron Glenn doesn't want to be asked about his QBs because he knows Breece Hall is clearly his best option?

Thanks! I like to cycle through handcuff options on Yahoo throughout the day on Sunday, so I wanted to start with the Colts game. I'll go Abdullah!

Sicko question for you, but any read on what RB you'd want in IND if Taylor goes down? I assume it's between Abdullah and Goodson?

I think a lot of it has to do with his air yards. Plummeted in recent weeks.

I’ll go yes and Miami somehow.
