Let's start off at wide receiver, George. We'll start off with the red-hot DK Metcalf for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yes, it's finally Metcalf time. It took 3 months, George, but we are here. He's starting to play better. They're at Detroit this week, the Lions are gonna score and they're gonna give up some points. George Pickens for a 3-week period, speaking of which, back in November was the very best fantasy wide receiver on the planet, not named JS. And, all of a sudden, Pickens taking some heat on Thanksgiving and then, and ensuing weeks hasn't looked as good. But we know that both can go off at any time. Do you ride the hot hand here with Metcalf at Detroit, or do you go with Pickens against the Chargers, who have been known to give up 2 or 3 touchdowns, but certainly have a much better defense, I would, I would assume you would think so than Detroit. Oh, absolutely. I mean, listen, without even looking at the players, Chargers, the #2 defense against wide receivers in fantasy, which means that they, they get the 2nd least amount of points here. Only the Minnesota Vikings are better here. The Detroit Lions, 2nd most. The only deal is that gives it more, the Dallas Cowboys here. That alone, I'm going to DK Metcalf. He's been playing better of late. This should be a higher scoring game here or at least a game where Aaron Rodgers and Pittsburgh has to throw the ball a bunch. I don't see the Pittsburgh defense stopping. Uh, Miami, uh, stopping, uh, them all that much, right? Uh, Detroit I gonna score some points, so I like DK Metcalf. That was one of the best plays of the year so far last year with DK Metcalf on that touchdown against Miami. Get off me, right? No one was taking him down. When he gets the ball, he's a tough, tough man to take down here. Great player. I'm going DK Metcalf over Pickens. I have DK Metcalf as a low-end wide receiver 1. Pickens with a wide receiver 2. Yeah, he's hot. Metcalf. Usually you ride the hot hand. Speaking of which. Uh, we talked about this a couple of weeks ago. Sam, or even last week, Sam, our producers like you're spending too much time on this Michael Wilson of the Arizona Cardinals. Uh, you know, Sam is great, but he was dead wrong. I mean, this guy has single-handedly won people leagues in fantasy football. He is the league winner in 2025 in fantasy football. But here is the problem, late Friday, it was announced that Marvin Harrison is back for the Cardinals. So, I, I mean, sorry to say, I think that this is an easy one here because Wilson does nothing with Harrison, AJ Brown or Michael Wilson, George, I mean, is it just as simple as that? And by the way, let me add this, there are people who think the Cardinals are like actually good. Are they, is anybody Watching these games, they're down 14-0 instantly in every game they play, and this is simply fantasy. Brissett, not good. Not good at all. They're down big in every game and just throw it, and they can't run. So they just keep throwing the ball. I don't understand how people cannot separate the two. The Cardinals, the Raiders are the worst team in football. The Cardinals are right there with everybody else. The Jets, the Giants, Cleveland, everybody. I have nothing to add. You're right. I mean, I'm still starting Michael Wilson, but, uh, I, I have Wilson in one league, and I am, I, well, it's a league, it's a weird league, right here. I traded, I actually traded out in that league, and I'm still alive. Go figure, uh, and I have Wilson's one of my, uh, wide receivers. He is would you start Harrison over Wilson. That's a much tougher question. That is, let's play the game. Let's play the game. No, no, no way, no way, I would not. But would you go outside Wilson Harrison? Would you start Mike Evans over Wilson? That's my son's decision he has to make. Yes, I think so too. He came back game one. He had 6132. No, you start and he's gonna score. He's gonna score a ton of points. Carolina doesn't have a great pass defense here. No, I'll start. Evans would be above all of those guys.
