I think one of the better defenses in the NFL that defense rocks, they are crushing people right now, but 8.6 points against the Pittsburgh Steelers in week 10, 14.4.
You know, it, it’s not the worst thing in the world in week 11, but certainly not winning you any weeks, any level of panic with Jayden Daniels as a fantasy QB, one rest of the season.
Is it the injury or is it just a small sample and, uh, fluke?
Um Yeah, so some concerns some panic here just because he suffered an injury and the part that we love the most of his fantasy game has suffered as a result, but hopefully Daniels gets healthy and starts running like we saw, but it’s tough to predict at this point.
I mean, what do you make of it, Harmon.
There were a lot of Drake may haters during the draft process that where are those people?
I’m just, I’m just curious with Jane Daniels.
There’s a small part of me like maybe a small hater buried deep in the back of my mind that is a little bit like, do we need to have our eye on the cliff.
Kingsbury stuff, you know, because this is right around the time of the year when things have ty typically started to go bad for cliff.
Kingsbury’s offenses in Arizona, you know.
But, but like I said, small part of me and I’ve already issued my public apology to, to cliff.
So, you know, I think cliff’s been good this year.
I actually don’t think there’s like a, a problem with the offense that teams are just solving.
I think a lot of it is just that Jaden Daniels hasn’t been 100% healthy.
Um, their offensive line got worked by a better opponent last week and I think that’s just where it is.
This offensive line has way out kicked expectations this year.
They’ve been fantastic on the season, however, it’s still a unit that there wasn’t a lot of expectations coming into, into the season.
They’ve had some injuries up there.
So I, they have a week 14 by worth noting with Washington, then they come out and they get the steel or excuse me, they get the Saints, they get the Eagles again, but then they get the Falcons.
Uh, week 1516, 17, there’s some decent matchups there even.
They get Dallas in week 12.
You gotta feel pretty good about, uh, Jay Daniels going against that defense.
I, I’m, I’m, I, I’ll put it at some panic cause I mostly think it’s an injury thing.
Uh, but we’ll see if like Hey, I, I will give Dallas again.
We haven’t seen week eleven’s result yet, but I’ll give them credit that their pass rush looks to be improving.
Obviously, Michael Parsons back helps that an awful lot.
That, that’s certainly something to keep an eye on in that matchup.
But for the most part, I bett Daniels comes out of that week 14 by looking a lot better.
