Video Transcript
- Getting ready here, we've got QBs and tight ends this week. We're looking at Ryan Tannehill versus Justin Herbert, and you like the Titans quarterback in prime time. Really? Tell me why.
- Yeah, I like them both actually. I don't think there's any bad option here. We'll get to the bad options in the next one. But give me Tannehill. This game actually opened with the highest over under of the week, 56 and 1/2. You look at what he's done over his last five games-- and by the way, Tennessee has scored at least 30 points in all of those five-- it's 11 touchdown passes, it's three rushing touchdowns. I just think it's a great spot for him. I think there's going to be a ton of points and yards available in this one. I think Tannehill gives us three combined touchdowns. I'm not sure exactly whether those are passing, rushing, whatever. I just know there's a lot of points available here.
- Very well said, Andy. Listen, I could sit here and talk about, well, the Green Bay Packers run defense versus Derrick Henry, and Tannehill's not going to have to do a lot, or what about how chilly it is in Lambo? No, Andy's right. Full transparency. He mentioned the over under, there's going to be more points available in this match up. You're taking Ryan Tannehill.
But let's imagine just for a second-- let's think maybe Keenan Allen is healthy. He's not. Let's think maybe Hunter Henry avoided the rona list. He didn't. And then let's just wish cast for a second, because-- let's put the fantasy in fantasy football for a second. Let's imagine that Anthony Lynn isn't playing Orange County conservative. Think about Herbert's arm, think about those healthy elite weapons, sprinkle in a little [INAUDIBLE] against the Denver Broncos' reeling defense. Oh! Now that is the stuff that fantasy goodness is made of. That's how you want to end 2020, but you can't. So start Tannehill.
