The Alvin Kamara Award.
Just let’s pick the player that’s gonna have the best fantasy day between these two games, like the Christmas miracle maker.
You remember a couple of years ago when Alvin Kamara, what do you have like did you have like 5 touchdowns against, against the Minnesota Vikings on Christmas Day?
Um, I’m gonna go ahead and say nobody scores 5 touchdowns, but Dalton, who’s our favorite for the Alvin Camaro Award in this game?
Uh, it feels like Henry’s due for scoring, man.
He, he could take, he could take 2 or 3 to, to pay dirt with the, with the banged up receivers there in, in the, in the game script playing with the lead with Houston’s offense.
It could be a Henry eruption.
Dalton, you’re playing it safe, bro.
Come on.
You’re playing it safe with this Derrick Henry thing.
Niko could catch 12 balls and, you know, 150 yards, two touchdowns too.
I, I like Nico, yeah, yeah.
I was thinking Nico.
I was thinking Niko could be it.
Again, some of the communication issues.
issues with the linebackers there, couple zone coverage looks where, uh, Nico Collins is just wide open over the middle of the field, yards after catch, downfield stuff.
I am a little concerned about, I mean, as I always am with CJ Straub behind this offensive line, but there is at least enough time for him to get rolling against Kansas City, uh, last game.
I would also say George Pickens should be, uh, uh, should be nominated for this as well.
Like he should be on the betting odds list because, man, he just is, I think set up to win in the exact.
way that Kansas City, uh, struggles in terms of some of those outside receivers against man coverage.
Can they also do some stuff to move Pickens around because they have done that this year.
Now, especially with Van Jefferson and Mike Williams on the outside there, if they trust those guys a little more, I can see Pickens having a pretty monster Christmas Day game as well.
Targeting Jaylen Watson’s side of the field in Kansas City has been money ever since he went down and Pickens could take advantage of that.
So Pickens, Big Dawg or Collins are the best three options to, to go nuts.
