Speaker 1: Here's your host, Paul Jarge. It's a week two edition

7
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: of Fantasy Football Weekly. So many questions answered, finally after

8
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: Week one. We've been speculating for six months about what

9
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: might happen in Week one.

10
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: Now we know.

11
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,520
Speaker 1: My co hosts today, Scott Fish and Brian Johnson back

12
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: in studio.

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 2: What's up boys? You know I have to fly in

14
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: for Sam Darnold's home debut. Yeah. Absolutely, I'm looking around

15
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: the studio for my tickets, though, why you gotta go

16
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 2: get some? I could have sworn Sam himself would have

17
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 2: sent me some. By now I'm really been supportive and

18
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: there's more to come in this episode, by the way,

19
00:00:59,000 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 2: but happy to be here.

20
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: We'll learn more about Sam Darnold and talk more about

21
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: him later in the show. We're gonna break down all

22
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: fifteen of the games we left on the slate. We're

23
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: gonna go through Take a chance with me like always? Well,

24
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: answer three tough questions and we'll give you some premature speculation.

25
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: There's a lot to get to over the course of

26
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: the show, and guys, with fifteen games, we got to

27
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: jump right into it to it beginning with Scott Fish. Yeah,

28
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: Chargers taking on the Panthers. JK. Dobbins a bit of

29
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 1: a revel Lakes in week one. Feels like the good

30
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: times are gonna keep coming against the Panthers.

31
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 3: It feels like it. I almost gave him an A grade.

32
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,639
Speaker 3: I gave him a B grade, but I can easily

33
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 3: see it being in A grade. I think part of

34
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 3: me worries that Gus Edwards is gonna take twelve carries again,

35
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 3: even though he was looking not productive. He looked completely done.

36
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 3: Eighteen percent success rate on that two point three yards

37
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 3: per touch and Gus Edwards no touches inside the ten.

38
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 3: So I got Gus on the bench. Gave a B

39
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 3: to JK. Dobbins, who, uh, thirteen point five yards per touch.

40
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 3: That's not gonna happen again. And he was caught down

41
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 3: from behind, much like briese All was coming off freest

42
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 3: Hall's injury a couple of years ago.

43
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: Now he was caught from behind on that long run

44
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: but I'll note, Yeah, he got clocked at twenty miles

45
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: an hour yeap, which I did not think. JK. Dobbins

46
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 1: had just ran out of gas.

47
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,000
Speaker 3: The eyeball say that the camp pipe and the steady

48
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 3: offseason drum beat was real, and Carolina just gave up

49
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 3: one hundred and seventy two total yards and two scores

50
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 3: to Kamara and Jamal Williams. So great.

51
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: Somebody had mentioned Jamal Williams. Yeah, that's a potential take

52
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: a chance.

53
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 3: On me playing. Yeah, yeah, good job on that.

54
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: Oh sorry, I had JK. Dobbins as my take a

55
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: chance on me player. Okay, I think Mistermal Williams my premature.

56
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 3: I don't know anyway, just just keep pickocking and ex

57
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 3: put that on loop for the rest of the show.

58
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 3: Justin Herbert, I'm giving a C grade too, and I

59
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 3: could barely give him that because I feel like they

60
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,399
Speaker 3: get ahead of Carolina and Harbaugh's just going to run

61
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 3: the game out. Justin Herbert, last week the second lowest

62
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 3: passing yards and second lowest pass attempts of his career

63
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 3: when playing a full game. That is the Jim Harbaugh effect.

64
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 3: I'm a little worried too, but Carola just gave three

65
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 3: scores to car The Saints changed dough season went pre

66
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: snap motion a ton, so maybe that was part of it.

67
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 3: But last week the Panthers had the lowest pressure rate

68
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 3: in the NFL, so they're not going to even get

69
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 3: to get to Herbert. So he's going to be able

70
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 3: there to be to pick him apart at the times

71
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 3: he does throw. Given a C grade to Ladd McConkie,

72
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 3: who seems to be the number one wide receiver there

73
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 3: for the Chargers.

74
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: Well, it helps the Charks out and Palmer's hurt.

75
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, Palmer's hurt might not play well. We'll see

76
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 3: if he goes. If he doesn't, Brendan Rice will come in.

77
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 3: But I got them on the bench. Quentin Johnson, despite

78
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:41,279
Speaker 3: the five targets and a really high first read target percentage,

79
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 3: I have him on the bench. I just can't trust

80
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 3: him yet. I know that he's got the large A dot,

81
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 3: but Ladd McConkie seems to be the volume guy that

82
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 3: he's going to go to. None of McConkie's targets went

83
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 3: twenty plus air yards though, so it's a lot of

84
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 3: short stuff. But in PPR you're liking the reception, so

85
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 3: c grade on McConkie, hayden Hurst not volume to really

86
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 3: do anything with there, so he's still on the bench.

87
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: Are there any Panthers to start Scott.

88
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 3: No, there's not. I don't have a single one. Miles

89
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 3: Sanders and Chuba Hubbard are splitting. It was eleven touches

90
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 3: to ten. You know, Hubbard did more snaps, but he

91
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 3: didn't even get a target, so they're splitting too much.

92
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 3: The offense. I mean, Bryce Young completed under half his passes.

93
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 3: It was all spread around and Xavier Legette look decent.

94
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 3: It might be something to keep an eye on there,

95
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 3: but he just ran twenty three routes fifty nine percent

96
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 3: of the snaps. But he led the team in targets,

97
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 3: so he was barely on the field, but he got

98
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,359
Speaker 3: a bunch of targets. Deanty Johnson is the one people

99
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 3: are probably most interested in, but he was second in targets,

100
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 3: but he only got two of them, and the aid

101
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 3: out was really low. You need a lot of volume

102
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 3: if you have an eight out that low, and he

103
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 3: just wasn't getting it. So I got him all on

104
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:50,679
Speaker 3: the bench.

105
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,239
Speaker 1: I don't blame him. Saints take on the Cowboys. Brian

106
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: Obviously a massive delta between last week's opponent the Panthers

107
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: this week's defense the Cowboys. Mike Zimmer's defense looked awesome

108
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 1: last week. So which Saints do you dare start in

109
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: a much tougher game?

110
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 2: Got a few worth starting, but like you said, definitely

111
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 2: a tougher matchup in the Cowboys than they saw in

112
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 2: the Panthers last week. Starting with the Alvin Kamara gonna

113
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 2: give him a bee. We saw a vintage Kamara in

114
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,119
Speaker 2: Week one, but again, Cowboys will be a much tougher

115
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,119
Speaker 2: test than the poorest Panthers were. That said, Jerome Ford

116
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: touched the ball twenty plus times against the Cowboys last week.

117
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 2: Kamara should do the same volume wise, So seems like

118
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 2: a safe bea to me here, always active in the

119
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 2: passing game. Going to start him with confidence while you

120
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 2: can while he's healthy early in the season. Chris o'lave

121
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 2: can give him a ce. He was not startable in

122
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,799
Speaker 2: Week one, only saw two targets that was not his fault.

123
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: The game script fell out of his favor pretty quick.

124
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 2: He was a lost Sunday for him. It could be

125
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,280
Speaker 2: the case this week against the Cowboys, but for very

126
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 2: different reasons. The Cowboys gave up the second fewest wide

127
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 2: receiver touchdowns last year with eleven. Only two wideouts were

128
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 2: able to reach one hundred undred yards against Dallas all

129
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 2: season last year. I was borderlininging a bench olave. But

130
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 2: a guy you took in the second round, I think

131
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 2: he got to roll him out there, and the Saints

132
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 2: will be chasing points presumably presumably the other way exactly,

133
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,679
Speaker 2: And for that reason, I'm sticking sticking with Rashid Shiheed

134
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 2: with the starting grade. As the see had a big

135
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 2: game last week, he got, he got the party started

136
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 2: for the Staints again. A bad much worse matchup this

137
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: week against the Cowboys, But the Saints will need to

138
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 2: pass in this game, and they will take shots downfield

139
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: with the Shiheed, so he gets the soft sea. Juwan

140
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: Johnson Foster Moreau that tight end both scored last week,

141
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 2: but both are on the bench this week. The Cowboys

142
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 2: allowed the fewest receptions to tight ends last year, and

143
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,239
Speaker 2: there's clearly a rotation going on that also includes Taysom

144
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 2: Hill kind of, but I always give Taysom Hill a

145
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 2: bench grade. You can start him at your own risk,

146
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 2: but you cannot predict what Taysom Hill is going to do.

147
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 2: He's a DFS flyer in my mind, and Derek Carr

148
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 2: solid game against the Panthers, but he's not playing the

149
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: pay Yeah he was. Probably he's the top three quarterback

150
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 2: last week. Probably not gonna happen this week against Dallas.

151
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 2: I got him on the bench. There are better options

152
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 2: out there over to the Cowboys side, starting with Ezekiel

153
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: Elliott and Rico Dowdell. I have both on the bench

154
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 2: in this game. Here are the rush attempts for each

155
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 2: last week. Zeke had nine, Dowdell had eight. Z had

156
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 2: two targets. Dowdell had two targets. Something called hunter loop

157
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 2: Key was also targeted twice. And opposing running backs scored

158
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 2: against the Saints only nine times last year. So bad

159
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 2: matchup for Zeke and Dowdell. They are bench.

160
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: It's the edge though, because of the goal line case. Yes,

161
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: I would give see if I had to pick.

162
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: One, if you had to pick one, but I'm going

163
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,679
Speaker 2: elsewhere if I can Ceedee Lamb automatic a not getting

164
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 2: into that regardless of opponent. Brandon Cook's gonna give him

165
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 2: a c. Jalen Tolbert was to be stealing targets from

166
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 2: Brandon Cooks this year. That has not been the case

167
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 2: so far. Cook saw seven targets to Tolbert's one in

168
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: the opener, So Tolbert is on the bench, Cooks gets

169
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: to see and uh, this is the og revenge game

170
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 2: for Brandon Cooks against his first original team. Brandon Cooks

171
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 2: qualifies for like four revenge games at this point. I'm

172
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: not there, but this is the most important one. And lastly,

173
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,679
Speaker 2: for the pass catchers, Jake Ferguson looked like he suffered

174
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: a season ending knee injury last week, but he has

175
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: not been ruled out as of the recording of this show.

176
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 2: But even if he plays, I can't trust him to finish.

177
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna bench out. Yes, you need to.

178
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: You need to plan for a backup plan for Jake Ferguson.

179
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 2: And lastly, Dak Prescott just to see here, another tough

180
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 2: matchup for Dak. The Saints allowed the tenth lowest yards

181
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 2: per attempt and the ninth fewest fantasy points per game

182
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: to quarterbacks last year, but Dak tough to bench gets

183
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 2: to see.

184
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,319
Speaker 1: All right, Let's move over to Raiders taking on the

185
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: Ravens and the disappointing start for Zamir White. Yeah, expected

186
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: more carries. Alexander Madison very involved in the passing game,

187
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 1: is the third down back. But here's here's why I've

188
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 1: still got to see great on Zimir White. The Ravens

189
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: have a great pass defense. We'll talk about a little

190
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: bit more. They finished the Pro Football Focuses Number two

191
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: coverage defense last year, and then last week, despite playing

192
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, they finished as Pro Football Focuses Number three

193
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: pass defense. The path of least resistance for the Raiders

194
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 1: is on the ground, and Antonio Pierce is gonna run

195
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: the ball a lot in this game. I'm convinced of it.

196
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: Last week, Pierce got away from running the ball and

197
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: he lost. Through one game, Baltimore ranks thirtieth in run

198
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: stuff win rate. I'm just convinced Pierce is gonna go

199
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: back to being who he is and he's gonna run

200
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: the ball.

201
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, they got they got like three defensive players out too,

202
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 3: like vet NEI might not play. Then one of their

203
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,559
Speaker 3: pass rushers might not play too.

204
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: So let's I'm not giving up on Zamir Wait. I'm

205
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 1: giving another start here. Let's go to the passing game, well, well,

206
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: stay with the running game for a second. Madison. I'm

207
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: not gonna chase last week's box score, but let's not.

208
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: Madison has emerged as the third down back. Is on

209
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: the field for all ten of the Raiders plays at

210
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 1: long down and distant situations last week. So I didn't

211
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: see this coming for Alexander Madison, but that's what we

212
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: have through one game. That's not enough usage for him

213
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: to start against a good Ravens pass defense. Speaking of

214
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 1: the good Ravens pass defense, Devonte Adams a rare B

215
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 1: grade to the level of difficulty in a matchup against

216
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: those excellent secondary they've got in Baltimore, Marlon Humphrey, Kyle

217
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: Hamilton's awesome and then first round rookie Nate Wiggins in

218
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: his first start last week against Patrick Mahomes gave up

219
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 1: one catch in his coverage. That's it. So I do

220
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: not love DeVante Adams here. How about Brock Bauers. I

221
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: love the playing time from week one. He ran thirty

222
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: one routes, saw whopping seven targets, he caught six of those,

223
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: and to really nobody's surprise, Bowers looks legit. Ravens gave

224
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: up seventy one yards to Noah Gray and Travis Kelcey

225
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: last week. So we're gonna keep a starting great on

226
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: Bowers with a C grade Jacoby Myers, who this show

227
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 1: loves Jacoby Myers.

228
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 3: Yep, yeah we do.

229
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: But I don't love this matchup. He lines up a

230
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: little more than half of the time in the slot,

231
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: which should line him up primarily against star hybrid safety

232
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 1: Kyle Hamilton, who I mentioned before. Last week. Weirdly, Hamilton

233
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,360
Speaker 1: didn't line up in the slot very much despite the

234
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 1: fact that Rashid Rice was eating up that defense. I

235
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: wonder if they don't shift Hamilton more into the slot

236
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: for this one to try to defend Myers. But still,

237
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: I kind of like him, and he's a good player.

238
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: I'm keeping a SE grade on him.

239
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 3: Can I start a position that you now call him

240
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 3: should have been a Viking? Kyle Hamilton, Just stop tearing

241
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 3: my heart out with that.

242
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: And so that leaves us with Gardner Minshew clocks into

243
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: the SEA grade. I've got b's, I've got a B

244
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: in two C grades. Gardner Minshew look capable last week,

245
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: not special. He probably finishes at a similar box score

246
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: like two hundred and forty yards and a touchdown C

247
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: grade for him to go to the Baltimore side. Lamar

248
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: Jackson obviously a grade. We're not going to spend time

249
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: on him. The real question in this passing game what

250
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: to do with your tight ends? Yes, I'm going a

251
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: grade and Isaiah Likely. Okay, we've loved him for four years.

252
00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: We loved him in the preseason of his rookie year.

253
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: He was the highest scoring tight end in Week one.

254
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: He looks like a focal point for the Ravens offense.

255
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: He dominated Mark Andrews last Thursday, walked away with an

256
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: amazing nine point nine out of ten utilization score by

257
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: Dwayne McFarlane. He got thirty four percent of the team's targets,

258
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: forty percent of the air yards, and posted a nine

259
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: point four a dot, which is awfully impressive. I don't

260
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 1: know why you wouldn't go back to Likely.

261
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 2: So I'm and a second touchdown missed by a literal toe. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

262
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 2: he's legit.

263
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 1: So what to do with Mark Andrews? Then I'm not

264
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 1: benching him. No, I'm going to keep him as a

265
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: C grade here because I think he's too good a

266
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: player and.

267
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 3: The Chiefs have always done that to Mark Andrews.

268
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: That's a good point too. They bracketed him constantly. I

269
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: saw a break down of a bunch of clips and

270
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: they were.

271
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 3: Just they double covered. He got double covered the highest

272
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 3: percentage of his plays in the last three years in

273
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 3: that game. Oh wait, yep, oh.

274
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: That's great data. So you know, we know Mark anderws

275
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: is but he's you know, rare times that he's healthy.

276
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 1: I just I'm not I'm not gonna bench him here.

277
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: The Raiders are not going to, I think, do that

278
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: same kind of bracket coverage and just leave Isaiah likely

279
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: to run free. So I think you'll see a lot

280
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: less coverage. See grad and Mark Andrews, Zay Flowers. I

281
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: love that he got eight targets in the opener, but

282
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,560
Speaker 1: I need him to be farther than four yards downfield.

283
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: It's hard to accumulate fantasy points like you were just saying,

284
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: Scott at four yards a clip. Tricky matchup against Las

285
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: Vegas's corners Nate Hobbs and Jack Jones, who combined to

286
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: allow fourteen yards in their coverage in Week one. Raider

287
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: secondary is sneaky competent, and then Rashod Bateman. I've got

288
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 1: on the bench. It's a tricky matchup. I liked that

289
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: he was on the field a lot and that they

290
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: targeted him deep. His aight out was like twenty eight

291
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: yards or those things. Yeah, jeez, but need I need

292
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: Rashod Bateman to have an easier matchup before throwing darts

293
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 1: on him. Then, lastly, Derrick Henry. Raven's offensive line looked

294
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: discombobulated last week, and Henry really he needs good blocking

295
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: to be effective. He needs lanes to run through. The

296
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: Raiders gave up two big plays at JK. Dobbins, but

297
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: otherwise actually looked very stout against the run. They dominated

298
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards, and they finished with Pro Football focuses fifth

299
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: ranked run defense and ESPN's eighth best run stuff win rate.

300
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: So I'm only gonna be great on Derrick Henry here

301
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: until I see that Ravens offensive line looked a little

302
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: bit better than it did last week. When we come back,

303
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: take a chance on me nine players not normally in

304
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: your starting lineup. We'll give you some sneaky plays that

305
00:14:31,320 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: you can use for week number two. Back in moments,

306
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: take a chance on me nine players you would not

307
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: normally start, but this week for various reasons. All plausible

308
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: starters would begin at the quarterback position.

309
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 3: Scott Fish before we do. That song is really growing

310
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 3: on me. But I didn't realize that line is well,

311
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 3: thanks Robbie. That line is when you're with me, you

312
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 3: always smile or something like, it's really arrogant, arrogant.

313
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 2: Wow.

314
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know about that.

315
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 3: All right, all right, at quarterback. I have Baker Mayfield

316
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 3: highest over under the week, playing the lines this week

317
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 3: at fifty two points, only sixty six percent roster twenty

318
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 3: six percent started. I think you need to get in

319
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 3: get him in there. Three hundred and forty nine yards

320
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 3: and three scores in their playoff matchup a year ago

321
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 3: or in the playoffs. I suppose that was earlier this

322
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 3: year in January. Four scores last week, and reports where

323
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 3: he was out of shape last year because the new baby,

324
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 3: it's clear he is back to being in fall shape.

325
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 3: And Matthew Stafford just tagged the Lions for three hundred yards.

326
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 3: So I think this is a good spot for Baker.

327
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, Really like Baker, loved what we saw

328
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: in week one. Happy for his development as a pro too. Brian,

329
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 1: you're taking chance with me quarterback.

330
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 2: You know, I gotta go with Sam Donald. I've been

331
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 2: taken a chance on him since the spring. I know

332
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 2: it's not the best matchup in the forty nine ers,

333
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 2: but hey, the Vikings beat the forty nine ers at

334
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 2: home last year. And you know who was playing for

335
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers last year, mister McCaffrey, Sam Donald,

336
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 2: Sam Donald, I think playing well, he was watching. He

337
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 2: was watching the defense a whole lot. You put it

338
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 2: that way, So still forty nine er a revenge game.

339
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 2: He's gonna prove the forty nine ers kept the wrong

340
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 2: quarterback too. Sorry brock Perty, but Sam Donald's a baller,

341
00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 2: said it all summer. He can play and this is

342
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 2: for that's real chance in the NFL. Best wide receiver

343
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 2: in the world. No Jordan Nadison. That hurts, but hey,

344
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 2: the Jets quarterbacks combined for two passing touchdowns last week,

345
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 2: one being Tyrod Taylor. That's the safe floor for Sam Darnold. Baby,

346
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 2: let's go.

347
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 1: Justin Fields takes on Denver and really sad that we

348
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: don't get the Russell Wilson revenge game against the team

349
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: that tried to extort him last year and is now

350
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: currently paying Russell Wilson salary to go beat them. I

351
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: really wanted this to revenge that revenge game. But we'll

352
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: go with Justin Fields instead. Last week third most quarterback

353
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: rushes fourteen. But I think in addition to legs, I

354
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 1: think his arm chips and some help here. Fields played

355
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: the Broncos last year. I guess er happened to remember

356
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 1: what he did three hundred yards and four. I didn't

357
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: think Fields ever had a game that good through the air.

358
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: That's an amazing stat. Broncos ranked thirty second in coverage

359
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: last year by Pro Football Focus, and after one week

360
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: they ranked twenty second last week, and that was against

361
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: a Seahawks team that could bear field and offensive line.

362
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,120
Speaker 1: Justin Fields might take a chance on me quarterback. Let's

363
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: go to the running back position, Scott.

364
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 3: So I did have Tank Bigsby, but then I thought

365
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 3: to myself, I can't do that to charge that stake Churches, guy,

366
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 3: I just gotta I gotta walk away from that. So

367
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 3: I'm picking Tank. But no, I'm just kidding. I'm vicking.

368
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Bucky Irving. In that same shootout,

369
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 3: the Tampa Bay Detroit shootout, he was much more effective

370
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 3: on the ground than White, but White was much more

371
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 3: effective through the air. Bucky Irving last week among running

372
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 3: backs was number one in explosive run rate six point

373
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 3: nine yards per carry. If he can get ten ten carries,

374
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 3: ten twelve carries in this what is likely to be

375
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 3: a very high scoring game, he can do something for you.

376
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with I thought. I thought the passed Bucky

377
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: Irving passed the eye test for sure.

378
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 3: My Son's sleeper from the preseason show, right, I love it?

379
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: Yeah? Absolutely, Uh, Brian, you're taking chance at me?

380
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 2: Running back I got Denver is Julie McLoughlin against the

381
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 2: Steelers at home in Denver, I mean McGlaughlin at home.

382
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 2: McLoughlin was slightly outsnapp by Javonte Williams in Week one,

383
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 2: but he was the clear pass catching option as he

384
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 2: saw the second most targets among all Broncos. Rookie quarterback

385
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 2: Bo Nicks had an a dot of a measly five

386
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 2: point eight yards in his debut. That's balls seared right

387
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 2: into Juliel's wheelhouse. I like to call that the Jaleel house.

388
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 2: So Julila McLoughlin, let's go.

389
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard takes on the Jets. The Jets pass defense

390
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: remains awesome. They bottled up Rock Purty. The path of

391
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: least resistance against the Jets is on the ground, and

392
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: we saw it on Monday night. And Lord knows, the

393
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: Titans do not want to rely and will Levis for

394
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: a win. If they want to win, they need to

395
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: be able to run the ball. Here, Pollard dominated the

396
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 1: snap counts and rushing attempts over Tajy Spears, which broke

397
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: my heart. But that's just the reality of it. And

398
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: then he chipped in four targets, which I did not

399
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: expect from Tony Pollard. He averaged five yards per carry

400
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: in the opener, and the Jets allowed Jordan Mason to

401
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: run for five yards per carry last week. We're gonna

402
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 1: get five yards per carry out of Pollard.

403
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 3: In this game.

404
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: He's gonna have a nice one, he would. Let's go

405
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: to the the receivers.

406
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 3: Sure, I'm going to the second highest scoring potential game

407
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,719
Speaker 3: on the DOC with the second highest over under at

408
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 3: forty nine points. That's the Arizona Los Angeles Rams game,

409
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,199
Speaker 3: where I'm going to one of my preseason sleepers. Michael Wilson,

410
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 3: who scored last week, ran around on ninety two percent

411
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 3: of their d dropbacks. He plays the Jamison Williams role,

412
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 3: and we know Jamison Williams just torched the same Rams

413
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 3: team last week.

414
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: Just a good spot for him, all right, you're receiver,

415
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: Brian I.

416
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 2: Got the Jets Allen Lazard at Tennessee. Lazard and Garrett

417
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,360
Speaker 2: Wilson were the only wide receivers targeted in Week one

418
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 2: for the Jets. Lazard was targeted at healthy nine times,

419
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 2: nine times, one which went for a touchdown. The Bears

420
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 2: wideouts didn't do much, didn't do much against Tennessee last week,

421
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 2: but they were operating with a rookie quarterback in his debut.

422
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers is as old as two rookies combined, and

423
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 2: he obviously has a strange obsession. He is, and he

424
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 2: has a strange obsession with shrooms, lizards and lizard's.

425
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: Blizards and blazards. How is it with all the animal

426
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 1: sounds we've got available to us?

427
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:03,719
Speaker 2: What is a wizard?

428
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: What is a How do we have no aliblizard? I

429
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 1: guess probably because we don't know it sound a lizard?

430
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 2: I am the lizard King. I can do anything. Scott,

431
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 2: how do.

432
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 1: You like Jalen McMillan.

433
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I like him. I went off board

434
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 3: with him in the pre season.

435
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, you did, baby, and he got paid for a

436
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: touchdown in the first and by the way, could have

437
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: been two touchdowns.

438
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and if you saw that, you know.

439
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 1: So, Tampa's got Mike Evans, They've got Chris Godwin, and

440
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,199
Speaker 1: then they've got Jalen McMillan, who led the team in

441
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: snaps and rounds run at the wide receiver position in

442
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: his NFL debut.

443
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 3: Be a problem.

444
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 1: He's gonna be a problem, and maybe this week against

445
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: Detroit he's going to be frequently running against rookie cornerback

446
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: Terrrian Arnold for Detroit, who allowed eight catches in his

447
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 1: NFL debut last week. Jalen McMillan, I like him in

448
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: this spot. Let's work in a couple more matchups. Scott,

449
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: back to you. Brown's taking on the Jaguars. Deshaun Watson

450
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: looked awful, He looked disinterested. He I saw a player

451
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: who seemingly has lost the will to win.

452
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's that's kind of the gist of it.

453
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 3: I have him on the bench. He got hit nineteen

454
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:22,719
Speaker 3: times last week. Really, that's that's still eight less than

455
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 3: the lawsuits against him, but he's nineteen times savage. Only

456
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 3: seven times in NFL history has a QB passed for

457
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 3: less than one hundred and seventy yards on forty five

458
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 3: or more pass attempts, but somehow Deshaun witz Watson did

459
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 3: it last week. Also, both his tackles aren't practicing, so

460
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,719
Speaker 3: he might see some more pressure this week because of that.

461
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 3: The only wide receiver I'm giving a starting grade too

462
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 3: is Amari Cooper, who might be in the squeaky greasy

463
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 3: mousey wheel type game, very frustrated during the game during plays,

464
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 3: and you know during the week eighteen point nine A

465
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 3: dot for Mari Cooper, so even if he gets some,

466
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 3: he doesn't need a lot to make a difference. Twenty

467
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,199
Speaker 3: one percent target chair and he gets the best matchup

468
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 3: against Monterrek Brown, who gave up a one to twenty

469
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 3: one rating in his coverage last year one nineteen rating

470
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 3: in his coverage last week. So good spot for Mari Cooper.

471
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 3: But I'm only give him the seat because I can't

472
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 3: trust to Sean Watson in the rent in the running game.

473
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 3: It's only Jerome Ford's game. Really, Not only did he

474
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 3: keep Deonta Foreman, and Pierre Strong. Off the field, he

475
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 3: took all the past game work, as we kind of

476
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 3: expected before the season, but six of his seven targets

477
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 3: came after in Djoku got hurt and then Djoko is

478
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 3: likely to miss this one. So that's that's something worth

479
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 3: tracking there that I think I I thing might be

480
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 3: in play here again against Jacksonville as they're you know,

481
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 3: supposed to there. You know they're they're they're not the favorites.

482
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 3: Jacksonville is the favorite over the Jackson Jacksonville side. Trevor

483
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,880
Speaker 3: Lawrence I have on the bench. It feels like Trevor's

484
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 3: really just spreading the ball around, so it's gonna be

485
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 3: tough for his receiving options as well. But he's going

486
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 3: up against last year's second best pass defense Cleveland spent

487
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 3: most of last year at the top against every position,

488
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,919
Speaker 3: so you're gonna kind of get how this is going

489
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 3: to go. For most of the skill players here, I

490
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 3: have C grades on the only the only wide receiver

491
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 3: grade I have is Brian Thomas with a C grade.

492
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 3: He got one percent of the end zon targets and

493
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 3: one percent of the red zone targets, which was one

494
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 3: which but he caught it. He caught it, so they're

495
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 3: just an incredible pass by the way, I don't know

496
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 3: if you saw that pass, the Trevor Lawrence to Brian

497
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 3: Thomas pass. Wow, was that a pass recorded the third

498
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 3: highest speed with the ball at nineteen point eight. He

499
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 3: will get the tougher draw likely and Denzel Ward, who

500
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 3: will only allowed a forty nine QB against last week,

501
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,639
Speaker 3: but it was a thirty four yards reception on five attempts.

502
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 3: But Ward stays almost exclusively on the left. Thomas bounces

503
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 3: around so he can avoid him for some of it.

504
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,720
Speaker 3: UH C grade there for Etn and Bigsby. I have

505
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 3: him both with C grades. Etn got all the pass

506
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 3: game work, all the red zone work, and the score.

507
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 3: He more than doubled Bigsby's snaps. He had seventeen routes

508
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 3: run to Bigsby's four, But Bigsby just looked better when

509
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 3: run at.

510
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 1: If you know, if you took you, if you took

511
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: us and just asked us to look at Tank, Bigsby

512
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,919
Speaker 1: and Travis Etn's play, and you took like the numbers

513
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: off the uniforms, you know who was who? Everybody? Anyone

514
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,479
Speaker 1: would have said Tank Bigsby looked way better. He looked

515
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: fantastic and yep, yes, I'm.

516
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 3: It shows in the twelve for seventy one stat line.

517
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,879
Speaker 3: He more yards per more yards before contact, more yards

518
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 3: after contact.

519
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 1: Uh.

520
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 3: The way they're playing them, it makes them both serviceable.

521
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 3: ETN played the first drive, Bigsby the second, ETN the third,

522
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 3: Bigsby the fourth. But ETN finished it and ETN Bigsby.

523
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 3: ETN Bigsby both than Bigsby. They are flipping back and forth.

524
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 3: So both have C grades for me in a matchup.

525
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 3: I think that they can. It's not a great matchup,

526
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 3: but they're both going to get enough work.

527
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: People might ask about watch ten got the goal line, Yeah,

528
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 1: you flip that right.

529
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 2: He also fumbled at the goal line too.

530
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 3: Carry So Gabe Davis is on the bench highest snap

531
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 3: count of the wide receivers, but only three targets. Christian

532
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 3: Kirk is on the bench as he got out snapped

533
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 3: by both Gabe Davis and Brian Thomas. They both had

534
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 3: higher A dots as well on plays with two or

535
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 3: one wide receiver on the field, so not three wide

536
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 3: receiver sets. Christian Kirk played three snaps. He's not in

537
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 3: on their two wide receiver snaps.

538
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: That's a really big change.

539
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 3: So I got him on the bench, Evan Ingram with

540
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 3: a B grade. He only played sixty eight percent of

541
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 3: the snaps, but when he was out there, he ran

542
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 3: around on almost every single drop at outside of the touchdowns,

543
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 3: he was the most productive last year. The Browns were

544
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 3: a top ten team against tight ends in the first

545
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 3: half last year, but that changed when Evan Ingram in

546
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 3: Week fourteen went eleven for ninety five and two scores.

547
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 3: So I got a B grade on Ingram.

548
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I bounced back game coming for him. Kirk is

549
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,959
Speaker 1: the one that I'm just I'm shocked, yeh, low utilization

550
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 1: for Christian Kirk and very worried. He had been a

551
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: very safe, dependable player. You know you needed six catches

552
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: for sixty five eighty yards that Christian Kirk was the guy.

553
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did it. Still on name value right now

554
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 2: on Christian Kirk alone, because they Scott the stars are

555
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 2: aligning for bad things.

556
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: It seems like, yeah, that's it's definitely worrisome. Speaking worrisome,

557
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: can you start any Green Bay wide receiver with Malik

558
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: Willis at the hell? Find out when we come back

559
00:27:46,560 --> 00:28:09,239
Speaker 1: to fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. If

560

Speaker 1: It's free to play with friends. You can get into

562
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,760

563
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 1: freshest way to play fantasy football. Four matchups beginning with

564
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: Colts at Packers. Brian, let's start on the Colts side

565
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 1: of the ball, and then we'll get to the Thorny

566
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: or Green Bay part of this. Anthony Richardson, with some

567
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 1: big plays downfield, only completed nine passes, but the entire.

568
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 2: Game, Yeah, like Scott said, three fifty plus yards, two

569
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 2: of those being touchdowns, So he gets an A grade

570
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 2: pretty much when he's healthy and suiting up. And obviously

571
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 2: the rushing upside is always massive, only slightly scratched the

572
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 2: surface last week. Six carries for fifty six yards nearly

573
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 2: ten yards per carry, not too shabby for a rich

574
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 2: He gets an A. Jonathan Taylor also gets an A.

575
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 2: Was on the fiel for ninety five percent of the

576
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:05,240
Speaker 2: snaps in the opener. That's awesome. Taylor was not targeted

577
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 2: in the opener as well. That is not awesome unless

578
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 2: you're playing non PPR leagues, but still a massive bellcout

579
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 2: ninety five percent of the snaps. Easy a for him.

580
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 2: Michael Pittman can give him a c. He led the

581
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 2: Colts and targets and route percentage, but was third in

582
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 2: a dot behind Alec Pearson a don A Mitchell last week.

583
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 2: So Pittman was essentially the possession receiver, which is not ideal.

584
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 2: But he will be the primary target in the red

585
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 2: zone like he was last year. He was the only

586
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 2: Colts pass catcher with double digit red zone targets and

587
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 2: he was seventh overall among all wide receivers in red

588
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 2: zone targets in twenty twenty three. So he gets a see.

589
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 2: But I've got Odden A. Mitchell, Alec Pearce and Josh Downs,

590
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 2: who's returned to full practice might make his return. I

591
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 2: got him all on the bench because we need to

592
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 2: see how this shapes out with those three wide receivers

593
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 2: all healthy. So they're on the bench for me, as

594
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 2: are Kyle and Grants and Moali Cox. Not getting too

595
00:29:52,320 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 2: far into that. If it was Jewanni Woods charge, we

596
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 2: would be breaking that down in details. Over to the

597
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 2: Green Bay side, we're assuming Malik Willis is going to

598
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 2: be the starter. Jordan Love not officially ruled out, but

599
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 2: highly unlikely he goes. That puts every pass catcher on

600
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 2: the bench for me outside of Jaden Reid. Although Jaden

601
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 2: Reid has popped on the injury report with a calf

602
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 2: and shin injury, still gonna give him a c. They're

603
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 2: gonna get him the ball anyway they can, whether it's

604
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 2: to the air on the ground. So a SEE for

605
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 2: Jayden Reid and a B for Josh Jacobs. Colts yielded

606
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 2: a monster game to Joe Mixon last week, and the

607
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 2: Packers figured to lean on Jacobs heavily with Jordan Love

608
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 2: very very iffy to play in this game, So a

609
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 2: B for Jacobs.

610
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, a couple of Milik will his stats now these starts,

611
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: his three NFL starts, so from two years ago, hopefully

612
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: he's gotten better. If you spike the ball into the

613
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: ground every play, do you know what the passer rating is?

614
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 3: Fifty eight?

615
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: Thirty nine? Okay, Malik Willis's three career starts as a

616
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: quarterback passer rating thirty nine, Jesus forty nine. Just take

617
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,720
Speaker 1: on the Vikings. Christian McCaffrey ruled out of this game.

618
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: Jordan Mason is an A grade based on how great

619
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: he looked last week. Vikings are a good run defense.

620
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: They were good last year. They gave up the fourth

621
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: viewest fantasy points to running backs. Last week they obliterated

622
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary. But I can't see like any defense containing

623
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: the version of Jordan Mason we saw last week, So

624
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 1: keeping the A grade on him. Going over to the

625
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,960
Speaker 1: passing game, starting with Deebo Samuel another A grade, particularly

626
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: after getting eight carries last week. Wow, that was nice.

627
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: Nine targets last week, positive individual matchups coming in the

628
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: slot against Byron Murphy Josh mittelis probably so. I still

629
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: like Deebo Samuel a lot in this one, particularly if

630
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk is not quite got the rust knocked off yet.

631
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: He comes into the B grade here. It would probably

632
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 1: be an A if if he hadn't had the long holdout.

633
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: Snapcount probably gets closer to normal. He dropped a sure

634
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: touchdown on Monday night. Minnesota's got three journeyman quarterbacks cornerbacks

635
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: Byron Murphy, Shack Griffin, Stefan Gilmour. Those guys combined for

636
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 1: twenty five year years of play in the league and

637
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 1: thirteen different teams, is there not? Like the cornerbacks, everybody

638
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: covets at this stage of their respective careers, and I

639
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: think Ayuk's better than all of them. So I've still

640
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: got a B grade on Brandon Ayuk.

641
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 2: Those are work in the cornerbacks.

642
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: But Kittle posted seventy eight yards against Minnesota last year

643
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: when these teams met. He ran routes on ninety one

644
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: percent of the forty nine ers plays last week and

645
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: will be heavily involved again. Last year, Kittle quality Titans

646
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: almost always fared well against the Vikings. I think that'll

647
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 1: be the case here as well, and with a bunch

648
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,800
Speaker 1: of A grades and B grades around. Brock Purty comes

649
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: in with a B grade here. Played well against an

650
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: elite Jets secondary last week, but did not fill the box. Score.

651
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: Should be better in Week two, particularly with Trent Williams

652
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: getting another week of practice and conditioning behind him. The

653
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: Vikings handled Daniel Jones and the opener, but obviously a

654
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: far tougher matchup Brocky brock Purty with a B for

655
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: the Vikings. Justin Jefferson every week A grade Niners are

656
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: gonna roll extra coverage his way with Jordan Addison out,

657
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: but still it's jeff Justin Jefferson, and you don't fool

658
00:33:06,080 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: around with that. Jalen Naylor, it's going to be your starter,

659
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 1: and this is a nice dart throw possibility for you.

660
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: I considered him as might take a chance on me.

661
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: Receiver O'Connell. Kevin O'Connell's going to retain his past heavy

662
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: stylings and Naylor's going to be an every down player

663
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 1: with Addison out and again extra coverage rolling to Justin Jefferson,

664
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: So Naylor's going to see single covered throughout the game,

665
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: and they might take some chances with deep plays to him.

666
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: He's got nice speed and he sprung free for a

667
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: touchdown last week. Sam Darnold was your take a chance

668
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: on me quarterback. I've got a C grade on him.

669
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: Brian our Boy and then Aaron Jones. Niners are always

670
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: an awesome run defense. Last year they ranked number two

671
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 1: and rushing yards allowed and number four and fantasy points

672
00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: to running backs. They just held Breeze Hall to three

673
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: point four yards per carry, and Hall's great. Hall did

674
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: chip in some receiving help, and Jones remain startable because

675
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: his past catching ability is really good. And I think

676
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: he's going to pull in more receptions this week week

677
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: than he did last week. Last year, the Niners allowed

678
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: the fourth most running back receptions and the eighth most

679
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 1: running back receiving yards. I think Aaron Jones is going

680
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: to be helper through the air.

681
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 2: One key thing you forgot to mention about this game. Yeah,

682
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 2: Kevin Harland is on the call. Baby cannot wait.

683
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:17,960
Speaker 1: So great, So good.

684
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold touchdown calls by Kevin Harland, take me home.

685
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: Seattle takes on New England. Obviously New England with a

686
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:28,320
Speaker 1: big upset victory in Week number one. Seattle's offensive line

687
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: Scott looked awful, and I'm worried about them against a

688
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: better Pats defense than the one they saw last.

689
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 3: Better Pats defense that just held Joe Burrow to one

690
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,840
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty four yards and no scores. It's the

691
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 3: lowest over under of the week at about thirty seven,

692
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 3: and they brought pressure on about twenty eight percent of

693
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 3: the plays, fifth in the league in sacks. I think

694
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 3: it's only four or five. I mean it's been one week, right,

695
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 3: but so yeah, they will be able to pressure a

696
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 3: little bit. I gave Jano Smith a bench grade in

697
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 3: this one. He only had one hundred and seventy one

698
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 3: yards and an easier matchup last week. So for his receivers,

699
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,640
Speaker 3: I think Tyler Lockett and Dk Metcalff are going to

700
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 3: find their way to C grades, but it might just

701
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,839
Speaker 3: be one hundred and eighty yards and a score and

702
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 3: it's split between the two of them. Jackson Smith and

703
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,919
Speaker 3: Jigba got Bert virtually nothing last week with his three

704
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 3: point three a dot and just two targets. Dk Metcalf

705
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 3: was out there all the time, played eighty eight percent

706
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 3: of the snaps. Last year. He had a scoreless sub

707
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 3: forty day in this matchup, but he had one hundred

708
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 3: and thirty four yards and three or sorry, he had

709
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 3: one hundred plus yards and or a score in ten games.

710
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:40,680
Speaker 3: I think he gets back on track here. The only

711
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 3: problem is he's got a tough matchup with Christian Goitnzalez,

712
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 3: who shadowed Jamar Chase last week to the dune of

713
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 3: two catches for fifteen yards. So I can barely get

714
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 3: to a C grade on Metcalf. Tyler Lockett led in targets,

715
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 3: receptions yards last week six for seventy seven yards, but

716
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 3: he only played about half the snaps and didn't see

717
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 3: a red zone target. But I think he'll find his way.

718
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,280
Speaker 3: He's he's been injured, but he's been playing with the injury.

719
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 3: In the running game, Kenneth Walker is going to be gone.

720
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 3: Coach Grubb says that offensive coordinator Grub says that Zach

721
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:14,440
Speaker 3: Charbonay is going to see the same work that Walker,

722
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 3: which is going to mean a lot exactly. So I

723
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 3: have a C grade on Walker. After Walker was injured,

724
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 3: Charbone played the last two drives of massing zero yards

725
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 3: on four carries, so that doesn't give us very much.

726
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 3: He was in effective when he was in the game.

727
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 3: He did get a score through the air, and we

728
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 3: do know he's a good pass catcher, so he should

729
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 3: get enough to get a C grade. Over on the

730
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 3: New England side, I have one starting grade and that's

731
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 3: it the pass. The passing game is on the bench.

732
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 3: It's Fromandre Stevenson, but it's only a C grade. Stevenson

733
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 3: had seventy eight percent in New England's running back rushes

734
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 3: and thirteen percent of the targets. He didn't reach that

735
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 3: high of a running back rush share once in twenty

736
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,439
Speaker 3: twenty three. He led Week one in miss tackles with ten.

737
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 1: I know I saw one service credit him with twelve

738
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: miss tackles. Okay, okay, believable for Remondre. I think the

739
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:04,879
Speaker 1: next closest runner had five or six. Yeah, to tell

740
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 1: you how good twelve miss tackles is orphaned.

741
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,880
Speaker 3: Depending on give your looking. Gibson didn't have a target.

742
00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 3: Steven said had four of the six, but Seattle just

743
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 3: held Bronco runners to sixty eight yards. I think he's

744
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 3: got the volume c but if he breaks one or

745
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 3: he gets a score, it could be a b day.

746
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 1: I love Romondra and I'm so happy for his success.

747
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:24,479
Speaker 2: The battering rom Yeah.

748
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: Oh, I kind of like.

749
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 2: That Bell cow baby. He looks like a bell coow.

750
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:32,479
Speaker 1: Jets take on the Titans. Brian Jets side of the ball.

751
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: Breese Hall bottled up. As I mentioned a few minutes ago.

752
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: Do you like him better in this matchup?

753
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,280
Speaker 2: A little bit better? But another another tough matchup for Breese.

754
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 2: I can give him an a though he did operate

755
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 2: in a Bell cou roll in Week one, took eighty

756
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,319
Speaker 2: four percent of the snaps against the Niners, posted a

757
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:51,040
Speaker 2: respectable line of ninety three combo yards with five catches.

758
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,880
Speaker 2: And a touchdown, but again another tough matchup against the

759
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 2: Tennessee You shut down the Bears ground game last week,

760
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 2: but Brees saw much better than any Bears running back.

761
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 2: He's a You're starting Breese Hall Garrett Wilson and give

762
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,560
Speaker 2: him a be got off to a hot start last week,

763
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 2: but then it became the Allen Lazard show in the

764
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 2: second half. But Wilson still led the Jets with eleven

765
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 2: targets and he's only getting a bee because of game

766
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 2: script concerns. I kind of think the Jets roll the

767
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 2: Titans in this one.

768
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: But also the Titans. You know, they picked up Lugarious

769
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 1: Snead in the offseason.

770
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 2: That's a big boon.

771
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 1: Gaved he was really good in Week one, and frankly,

772
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: the whole secondary looked really good. So I'm kind of

773
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: with you on this be great and I worry about

774
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 1: sneed just shadowing Garrett Wilson in this game.

775
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're probably gonna throw lots of double covers at

776
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 2: Wilson too. That's why I liked Allen Lazaris might take

777
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 2: a chance on me. Wide receiver Mike Williams only took

778
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 2: nine snaps in Week one. The Jets are easing him

779
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 2: into action before he gets hurt again, so he's on

780
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:44,279
Speaker 2: the bench, as is Tyler Conklin. Only two targets last week,

781
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 2: and the Titans allowed just four catches forty three yards

782
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 2: per game to tight ends last year in just three

783
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 2: total touchdowns to the position, So Conklin on the bench

784
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 2: was kind of a popular sleeper pick but hasn't come

785
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 2: to fruition yet. And lastly, for the Jets, Aaron Rodgers

786
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 2: gets to see and again that's because I fear this

787
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 2: is going to be a big Breasee Hall game. And

788
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 2: the Titans only allowed the fourth few his passing touchdowns

789
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty three, and only one quarterback has topped

790
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 2: two hundred and eighty yards against them over the last

791
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,879
Speaker 2: sixteen games the Titans. That is so not a great

792
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 2: matchup for posing quarterbacks over the Titans side. Not a

793
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 2: lot to like here outside of if you're.

794
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: Gonna start with that, you must you must go directly

795
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 1: to Will Levis Well.

796
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 2: I thought outside, I want to get Tony Pollard out

797
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 2: of the way. You're take a chance with me running

798
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 2: back and with you there, ty J. Spears, I was

799
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,040
Speaker 2: close in PPR to get thrown a Dart, but just

800
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 2: twenty five percent of the snaps in week one. He's

801
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,760
Speaker 2: still on the bench as and as is Calvin Ridley

802
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,439
Speaker 2: led the Titans with seven targets last week, but only

803
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 2: three were catchable. He was getting wide open, but Will

804
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 2: Levis was not cooperating. Ridley had a seventy one percent

805
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 2: air yard share. How about that. That's insane. But you

806
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:51,600
Speaker 2: have to imagine Ridley will draw a lot of sawbridge

807
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 2: from Sauce gardener. So he's on the bench. So it's

808
00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 2: DeAndre Hopkins who only took seventeen snaps in week one

809
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 2: as a partially torn and cl can't trust him, can't

810
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 2: trust Tyler Boyd. He's on the bench, and you cannot

811
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 2: trust will Levis, especially if he's making your coffee. He's

812
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 2: on that.

813
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: I will say Sauce doesn't travel. Sauce and DJ they

814
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: play their sides. Yep, you're absolutely right about that. I

815
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: believe Sauce gave up zero yards in his coverage in

816
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 1: the opener against the forty nine.

817
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 3: Interesting.

818
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:23,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, yep. Absolutely. We've actually got a couple of minutes

819
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 1: to spare. We're going to get into the UH into

820
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: the TUA situation next hour. But I do want to

821
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 1: talk about one or two other things from the Thursday

822
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:38,959
Speaker 1: night game. Okay, Number one, Keon Coleman was the most

823
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,719
Speaker 1: targeted Buffalo player in Week one. Then we two no catches.

824
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: What's your what's your take on Keon Coleman as somebody

825
00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: that has a Fantasy starter going forward.

826
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 3: I like him, but I feel like I feel like this,

827
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 3: this Buffalo offense might just be unpredictable as far as

828
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 3: witch wide receiver you're gonna want, and sometimes it's.

829
00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: Just going to be non well except for one guy.

830
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 3: Okay, Khalil, come.

831
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 2: On, if you had to pick one, it's definitely Shakira.

832
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 1: It is for sure.

833
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 3: It was never going to be Samuel.

834
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 1: I see, I never thought it was. He looks totally

835
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,800
Speaker 1: out of the loop now, like droppable for Curtis Samuel.

836
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we were on that this is.

837
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,719
Speaker 1: Getting very inconsistent work. Yeah, she cares. You know, you

838
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:21,720
Speaker 1: guys know she cares.

839
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 3: My guy.

840
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 1: He looks slippery. I love the way they use him.

841
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 1: I wish it wasn't so much out of the slot.

842
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 1: But nevertheless, let's say you're down. You played against James

843
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 1: Cook and now you're down three touchdowns early what how

844
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,280
Speaker 1: does this change how you set your lineup on Sunday.

845
00:41:37,320 --> 00:41:39,319
Speaker 3: I think it's the same advice we give every year.

846
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,879
Speaker 3: You go for the high risk, high reward, but uh,

847
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 3: you know upside players.

848
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 2: Or you can assemble a stack that could be on

849
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 2: the way like Sam Donald and Naylor right there, Donald,

850
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,440
Speaker 2: Josh Oliver throwing Josh Oliver a tight end and just

851
00:41:54,600 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 2: just root along for Sam Donald with me. Baby can

852
00:41:57,680 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 2: enjoy the ride. Every It's a wild ride that all

853
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 2: I know.

854
00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 1: Every answer from you, I'm obsessed. It seems to involve

855
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: Sam Darky.

856
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 2: I'm obsessed.

857
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:06,440
Speaker 1: I'll admit it.

858
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 2: I want him to succeed so bad, and I think

859
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 2: he will. I know you will.

860
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: Maybe ultimately they've got a much.

861
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 2: Of a reputation to put on the line either, So

862
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 2: there's that.

863
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, people are used to being being right.

864
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 2: Oh no, we haven't talked about Kobe Parkinson yet. How

865
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 2: right it was? Oh, that's a lot of right that

866
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 2: looks good. Don't though, say I'm wrong all the time.

867
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 2: That is not correct. I'm not Matt Harrison. I had

868
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 2: to throw some shade in Matt.

869
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 1: Well, you're not here offense. You've got to get in

870
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 1: your shot it's true.

871
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 2: So they take him at me.

872
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 1: It is probably how this works a little bit charge, Yeah,

873
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 1: what do you think about the Falcons offense? Well, okay,

874
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: so the misuse of Kirk Cousins was ridiculous. How you

875
00:42:43,320 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 1: put him in the pistol and shotgun every play for

876
00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: a guy who we know all of his best work

877
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: is under center. He's he is one of the best

878
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 1: play action quarterbacks. They took that off the table.

879
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 3: Ye, no play action pace, no one.

880
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 1: Not one, not one play action play And do you

881
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: see this? The the plays that originate out of the

882
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:08,120
Speaker 1: pistol runs. How predictable, How predictable. So then a lot

883
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: of people looking at his throats.

884
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 3: And he stands and.

885
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: His stance and it was different. He's like a different

886
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: guy out there. I'm looking at We watched, we broke down,

887
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 1: every watched every single Kirk Cousins throw er here in Minnesota.

888
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 1: That guy bared no resemblance to the Kirk Cousins we

889
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: saw from Minnesota.

890
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 3: The reason I bring this up is does this give

891
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 3: you cause for concern for Falcons players? Should people be

892
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 3: looking to sell or do you think it's going to

893
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 3: get fixed?

894
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: Hate? I hate buying low I hate buying the.

895
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 3: Would you sell selling? Would you chant selling all? You

896
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,319
Speaker 3: think it's low. You think Drake Lennon's lost all his

897
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:42,359
Speaker 3: value after one week.

898
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: I don't think you can get much for him right now,

899
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 1: right because everybody knows the Kirk. Everybody saw Kirk look

900
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: so feeble. I don't know if you can get much now.

901
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,760
Speaker 1: What about Kyle Pitts, that's the real question. Scored a touchdown,

902
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: got you the touchdown. So there's a lot less worry

903
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:55,359
Speaker 1: about Kyle Pitts right now.

904
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 2: Ray Ray McLeod leads the Falcons wide receivers and targets

905
00:43:58,560 --> 00:43:58,919
Speaker 2: right now.

906
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:01,880
Speaker 1: Zach robs It might end up being a good offensive coordinator,

907
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 1: but it's very possible that Zach Robinson right now, at

908
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:08,800
Speaker 1: this extremely early stage of his career, is over his head.

909
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: Then he's doing more bad than good with Kirk Cousin

910
00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: one week, we'll see, Yeah, we're gonna we'll get a

911
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: lot more data points next week and we'll break down

912
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:18,839
Speaker 1: that game a little bit later in the show when

913
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 1: we come up next. Three tough questions you get to

914
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: play along. We will hit on the TUA topic when

915
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:29,720
Speaker 1: we come back as well. How much can you trust

916
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: the Miami offense. If two is going to miss extended time,

917
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 1: and it seems like he very well may. We'll get

918
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,520
Speaker 1: into that and other topics in three tough questions and

919
00:44:37,560 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy

920
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. Our number two. As is tradition, we start

921
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 1: with three tough questions.

922
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 2: Tough question number one, what's.

923
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 1: The appropriate level of concern for the Miami offense in

924
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: these games without Tua? Is it none? Is it some?

925
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 1: Or is it a bowel loosening level of existential dread?

926
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:13,359
Speaker 3: Scott, I'm just gonna go with some. Mike McDaniel, here's

927
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 3: what he's got to work with under whatever qbuh he

928
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:21,240
Speaker 3: starts for, you know, the foreseeable future. One game, ten games,

929
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:26,359
Speaker 3: whatever it is, Tyreek Hill, Waddle, mostart A, Chan, John New,

930
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera. Jalen Right should have started with

931
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 3: John Smith. But yeah, I know he's got a lot

932
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:35,479
Speaker 3: of pieces to work with. It'll be good for any quarterback. Uh,

933
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 3: they're gonna get there is. Mike McDaniel's gonna scheme it

934
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:41,600
Speaker 3: to make it work. Uh. There's obviously gonna be a downtick.

935
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 3: Tua led the NFL in passing Last year he led

936
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,879
Speaker 3: the NFL in passing Week one, Like, that's a lot

937
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 3: of a lot to make up for. But so it's some.

938
00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 1: It's some, all right, Brian. What's the appropriate level of

939
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: concern for the Miami offense in games without Tua?

940
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:54,760
Speaker 2: None?

941
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:56,280
Speaker 1: Some or blowed?

942
00:45:57,160 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 2: I think it's got to be blowed. I mean, the

943
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 2: vert was still out if Tua is is actually good.

944
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 2: I mean, last year the Dolphins got off to an

945
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:08,280
Speaker 2: incredible start led by Tyreek Kill and two was the quarterback,

946
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,240
Speaker 2: of course, where they really fizzled out in the second

947
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 2: half of the year. Tyreek Kill was banged up that

948
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 2: help the weather got colder. Miami doesn't like that, but

949
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 2: I mean before the head injury last you know, on

950
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:21,399
Speaker 2: Thursday night. The other night, Tua was not looking too good.

951
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 2: There Bills are a tough matchup, but uh, you know,

952
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:30,399
Speaker 2: without two, uh, I don't see Skyler Thompson making this

953
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 2: offense run nearly as effectively as it did with Tuas.

954
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 2: It's full on blowed. For me, I don't have much

955
00:46:35,719 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 2: else to say.

956
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: The correct answer is some. And you know, one of

957
00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: my favorite rookie analysts is Matt Waldman. Sure football got

958
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 1: I think he does great work. He has been a

959
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 1: big proponent of Skyler Thompson, Yes, and I agree. You know,

960
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:50,359
Speaker 1: we've seen snippets of Skyler Thompson at various times within

961
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 1: the boundaries of backup quarterbacks.

962
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 3: I think he's pretty good against the Vikings that one.

963
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:55,839
Speaker 1: He did have a good game against the Vikings two

964
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 1: years ago.

965
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:57,840
Speaker 2: You know who else did, Daniel Jones.

966
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 1: Thompson's got a big arm, and those deep plays that

967
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:06,399
Speaker 1: have generated all those fantasy points for fantasy owners from

968
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: TUA are not going to completely dry up. And Thomson's

969
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 1: not a precision passer. He's gonna make aaron throws, but

970
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 1: mostly those airin throws don't hurt us as much as

971
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 1: the big plays help us. Miami has been a balanced

972
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,640
Speaker 1: run game, maybe more so than people realize. They still

973
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 1: and I think they're just gonna add in a bit

974
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 1: more rushing put try to put Skyler Thompson in a

975
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 1: position to have it doesn't have to win games, and

976
00:47:29,200 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 1: maybe connect on a couple of big passes a game.

977
00:47:31,920 --> 00:47:34,959
Speaker 1: Clearly this adds some downside to previously safe feeling guys

978
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 1: like Tyrek Hill and Jalen Waddle, But I don't think

979
00:47:37,320 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: the wheels are gonna come off and I am not

980
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:40,320
Speaker 1: suffering from blowed.

981
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:41,840
Speaker 3: Sure tough.

982
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 2: Question number two.

983
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 1: What is the appropriate level of concern for the Bengals offense?

984
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 1: Bengals offense, is it done some or a bowel loosening

985
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:53,799
Speaker 1: level of existential drid Brian, you get to start this.

986
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 2: One borderline blowed, but just some concern for me with

987
00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 2: the Bengals offense. Clearly losing at home to the pays

988
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:04,800
Speaker 2: very bad. Burrow did not look good. Jamar Chase obviously

989
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:08,800
Speaker 2: Russy has sat out the whole preseason. Basically t Higgins

990
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 2: was hurt. All those things can be corrected. And back

991
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,319
Speaker 2: to Joe Burrow. There was that video footage of him

992
00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 2: picking up the water bottle all ye weird awkwardly. It's like, oh,

993
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 2: his wrist is messed up. They're not going to put

994
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:22,880
Speaker 2: him in a He's not starting the season if he

995
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 2: can't actually pick up a water bottle the right way.

996
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 2: That was just a weird way he picked up the

997
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:27,160
Speaker 2: water bottle.

998
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 1: Oh wait, do you guys see the video of him

999
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 1: flexing his wrist all the time?

1000
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 2: You know?

1001
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:34,040
Speaker 1: And and when he was asked about it, Joe Burrow's.

1002
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:35,920
Speaker 2: Like well, well, maybe that's the okie dope movie. He's

1003
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:36,879
Speaker 2: trying to say, risk.

1004
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:37,799
Speaker 3: What did you say?

1005
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,719
Speaker 1: Well, he said, well, that's part of my therapy is

1006
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 1: you know, I'm now an habitual wrist flexer. I'm flexing

1007
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 1: at home. I flex in the shower.

1008
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 3: I do the same thing. I shattered the right side

1009
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:49,719
Speaker 3: of my right hand, and I flex it.

1010
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: Sometimes you flex your hand because because it's nutsy.

1011
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 3: That's what I had to do to for physical therapy,

1012
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 3: and I do do it. So I think there's a

1013
00:48:58,320 --> 00:49:00,600
Speaker 3: little bit too what Joe Burrow said, maybe just a

1014
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 3: little maybe not if.

1015
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 2: You were you done so you have you have an

1016
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,880
Speaker 2: NFL caliber quality right hand, is what you're saying, not

1017
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 2: just kidding. It's some for me. I don't know how

1018
00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 2: it can be blowed if the Dolphins isn't blowed, so

1019
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 2: some for me for the Bengals.

1020
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 3: That's why when Tody Pollard broke his fibula, I'm like,

1021
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 3: I know that injury. I can tell you how it

1022
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,040
Speaker 3: works with this caliber of athlete.

1023
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 1: Same caliber. You're a professional caliber, right is what I

1024
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 1: what I lean from all of this. All fingers Scott,

1025
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: what's the appropriate level of concern for the Bengals offense.

1026
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 3: I'm glad you repeated the question because it's been so long.

1027
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 3: I'm going to some Dan Orlovsky said it best. He

1028
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 3: said their scheme is broken. It depends on two star

1029
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 3: wide receivers. As we know U T. Higgins has that

1030
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:49,399
Speaker 3: lingering hamstring injury. They take out one, the d can

1031
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 3: cover the other, and and they're rushing quicker. The Burrow

1032
00:49:52,920 --> 00:49:54,959
Speaker 3: has to get the ball out fast and check down.

1033
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 3: Taylor's play calling isn't making up for that. And by

1034
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 3: the way, and aside to Taylor's play calling mixing, was

1035
00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:03,239
Speaker 3: I mentioned this in the preseason? They kept running him

1036
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 3: into the middle, Yeah, middle of the line, maybe like

1037
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 3: we see him in Houston. Maybe maybe it was Zack

1038
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 3: Taylor's play line. So there's definitely some even when Higgins

1039
00:50:11,640 --> 00:50:12,360
Speaker 3: comes back.

1040
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:16,279
Speaker 1: I got some as well. You know the why the

1041
00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:18,320
Speaker 1: why does the Bengals start slow every years?

1042
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:18,680
Speaker 3: Oh?

1043
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: Every year? At the last two seasons, they've you know,

1044
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,840
Speaker 1: he's they have started slow. Last year. As a reminder,

1045
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow the first four weeks of the season was

1046
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 1: fantasy quarterback thirty one wow. And then after week four

1047
00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:37,800
Speaker 1: until he had the season ending uh wrist surgery and break.

1048
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 1: I don't know. It was like a week ten or

1049
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 1: eleven or something. He was quarterback six, quarterback six. I

1050
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,080
Speaker 1: had a C. J. Stroud and Lamar Jackson and Patrick

1051
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: Mahomes and obviously T Higgins is going to come back,

1052
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 1: Lamar Chase is going to knock the rust off. But

1053
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 1: most here's the most important reason why it's only some

1054
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:57,359
Speaker 1: the schedule here after this Turkey game in Kansas City,

1055
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 1: which I don't I don't like Washington Carol Lina Tougher

1056
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 1: running Baltimore, and then the Giants, three of the next

1057
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,360
Speaker 1: four might be three of the five easiest.

1058
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 3: Defenses in the league.

1059
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:10,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I like I think the I think the

1060
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 1: turnarounds coming.

1061
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 3: Sure. Tough.

1062
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 2: Question number three.

1063
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:18,520
Speaker 1: What's the appropriate level of concern for the Chicago offense?

1064
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 2: None?

1065
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 1: Some or a bowel loosening level of existential drive? Scott,

1066
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 1: I'm going some.

1067
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:25,040
Speaker 3: By the way, do you like it? I'm answering you

1068
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 3: right away, and then I'm giving either the rest yes,

1069
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:31,799
Speaker 3: normally You're like, so is it? I'm going to some.

1070
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 3: This was a rookies first first game, I know, is

1071
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:36,959
Speaker 3: a terrible first half, and the second half years bailed

1072
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 3: out by the defense and special teams. The numbers were

1073
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:43,280
Speaker 3: really bad. His aggressive throw percentage was eighth worst, sixth

1074
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 3: worst pass worst passer rating, second shortest completed air distance

1075
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:52,879
Speaker 3: throw only. He's only one. He's one of just two

1076
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:55,239
Speaker 3: qbs that have had twenty five plus pass tempts and

1077
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 3: less than one hundred yards in their debut, the other

1078
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 3: being Desmond Ritter. The run was just non existent for him.

1079
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 3: I think more is coming. There was there was no

1080
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:06,400
Speaker 3: gunslinger mentality in his game, and he does have that.

1081
00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 3: He showed that in college and he really depended on

1082
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 3: his would be there Keenan Allen with eleven targets. I

1083
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 3: think I think it starts to change as he gets

1084
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,240
Speaker 3: more comfortable. So I'm just going to say some for now.

1085
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:17,799
Speaker 1: All Right, Brian, the appropriate level of concern for the

1086
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 1: Chicago offense.

1087
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:22,760
Speaker 2: I've got none. It was a rookie struggling in his debut.

1088
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 2: And yes, Kayla Williams is one of the most type

1089
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 2: rookies since you know Andrew Luk, that type of player.

1090
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:31,479
Speaker 2: But Titans have a very good defense and Tod Todd

1091
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 2: Scott touched on the special teams touchdown, and the Bears

1092
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 2: also had a pick six both of those plays essentially

1093
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,080
Speaker 2: took the ball out of Kayleb Williams hands. He didn't

1094
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 2: have those drives to try to, you know, score points.

1095
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:45,920
Speaker 2: So none for me. Titan's a good defense. I think

1096
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:47,399
Speaker 2: the Bears will bounce back pretty quick.

1097
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:51,399
Speaker 1: I've got some I almost went none on this, and

1098
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 1: this was a it was a tricky one. I look

1099
00:52:54,520 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 1: to see if the offensive line was a culprit, but

1100
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:58,400
Speaker 1: really they ranked middle of the pack in PFF grades

1101
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 1: and ESPN's blocking ratings, so I don't think that was

1102
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 1: the issue. I went back and watched all of Caleb

1103
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 1: Williams throws. Again. He wasn't awful. He had some bad passes.

1104
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:09,799
Speaker 1: He just looked. He looked like a raw rookie to me.

1105
00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 1: And he had one great pass, a laser thrown on

1106
00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:14,719
Speaker 1: the run at the sideline to DJ Moore. But he

1107
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 1: also had a touchdown dropped by Keenan Allen that would

1108
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:20,880
Speaker 1: have helped his box score. A lot too many tip passes.

1109
00:53:21,040 --> 00:53:23,360
Speaker 1: Maybe that's something he can get better on. But here's

1110
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:26,719
Speaker 1: why I'm really I'm most optimistic. The Bears fourth place

1111
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 1: schedule is going to kick in after this week when

1112
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:30,760
Speaker 1: they face Houston. This is gonna be a tricky matchup

1113
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 1: against Houston. We'll talk about it in a minute after

1114
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 1: this Houston game. This is probably the toughest game left

1115
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:40,320
Speaker 1: on their whole schedule they're gonna have between now and Halloween.

1116
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 1: They get Carolina, Washington, Arizona. This is there are some easy,

1117
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 1: easy games coming up for the Bears, and I think

1118
00:53:46,200 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna end up righting the ship. But still some concern.

1119
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:51,400
Speaker 1: I think we all thought they would start the start,

1120
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:54,480
Speaker 1: you know, things would be better early. But I think

1121
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 1: that the stroles in week one. I think they struggle

1122
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:59,560
Speaker 1: here in week two, and then after that it probably

1123
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 1: gets better. Some correct answer for tough question three, let's

1124
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:05,359
Speaker 1: go to uh, you know what, maybe I go right

1125
00:54:05,360 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 1: to that, Matt, Do I have that matchup? I do?

1126
00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 1: Why not? You know we never shuffled.

1127
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:10,719
Speaker 2: It's a great segue, let me know it.

1128
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 3: Why not?

1129
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 1: Sunday night game Bears Texans called the audible. Yeah, I'm

1130
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:17,480
Speaker 1: going to do it. I've got two starting grades on

1131
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 1: the Bears. DJ Moore comes out of the C grade.

1132
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 1: Roma Dunesay hurt Alan is hurt Uh. Moore is going

1133
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 1: to get a lot of attention from both teams in

1134
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:29,600
Speaker 1: this one. The Texans allowed the second fewest wide receiver

1135
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,920
Speaker 1: touchdowns last year, and it is a good secondary spearheaded

1136
00:54:32,920 --> 00:54:37,719
Speaker 1: by cornerback Darryl Stingley. And yes, the Houston Texans got

1137
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:40,279
Speaker 1: stung by Alec Pierce twice on long bombs, but as

1138
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:42,799
Speaker 1: a reminder from earlier in the game, they only gave

1139
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:47,040
Speaker 1: up nine completions in the whole game, So I still

1140
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:48,719
Speaker 1: think there's a good defense. And I can only get

1141
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 1: you to a C grade on DJ Moore, who actually

1142
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:55,440
Speaker 1: like less with the Dunsay and Alan hurt others, and

1143
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:57,760
Speaker 1: we're not going to start Dunesay and Alan both questionable.

1144
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:00,800
Speaker 1: Alan didn't practice all week. It's a difficult but Dunes

1145
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:02,879
Speaker 1: they might go, probably not, So we're just gonna avoid

1146
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 1: that until those guys are healthier. And we know that

1147
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams and is an NFL caliber starter, which we're

1148
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:11,239
Speaker 1: not necessarily there yet. And speaking of Caleb, you got

1149
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: to leave him on the bench the two injured receivers,

1150
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:17,839
Speaker 1: the tough opponent, and frustratingly only five designed runs for him,

1151
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 1: which I did not like very much. You know, Caleb's

1152
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:23,600
Speaker 1: a good runner. I wanted to see him get more

1153
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:25,799
Speaker 1: looks in the running game. We didn't get him here.

1154
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:28,840
Speaker 1: He did not complete a pass longer than thirteen yards

1155
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 1: last week. DeAndre Swift comes in with a C grade.

1156
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:35,239
Speaker 1: The Bears offensive line looked inconsistent last week. Swift only

1157
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:38,160
Speaker 1: ran for three yards per carry. The Texans shut down

1158
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor last week, holding him to just three yards

1159
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:44,680
Speaker 1: per carry. Swift ran twenty routes last week, so we're

1160
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 1: hoping he catches a few passes even though he didn't

1161
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:50,279
Speaker 1: catch any last week. Maybe he'll be more active in

1162
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 1: the passing game. I've got a C grade on him.

1163
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:55,799
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Houston side. Bears defense is good.

1164
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 1: I had a lot of trouble figuring this one out.

1165
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:00,800
Speaker 1: Nico Collins still comes in with an A grade. Normally

1166
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,880
Speaker 1: I'd worry about shadow coverage from star cornerback Jalen Johnson,

1167
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 1: but with Stefan Diggs and Tank Dell on the team,

1168
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:08,440
Speaker 1: Johnson can't afford to blanket any one player here, and

1169
00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:11,840
Speaker 1: Collins had a terrific Week one, leading the Texans and targets, receptions,

1170
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 1: and air yards. A grade for Nico Collins. Yes, I've

1171
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 1: got a B grade on Digs and Dell. Let's talk

1172
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,440
Speaker 1: to them through. Diggs mostly ran from the slot in

1173
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:23,400
Speaker 1: Week one. That would put him on Bear's cornerback Tyler Gordon,

1174
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 1: who's an above average slot corner by no means dominating

1175
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 1: or shut down. Digs scored twice last week, but we'll

1176
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:33,400
Speaker 1: note that Diggs is a dot. Yeah one point seven yards.

1177
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 3: He did have one pass play that was a designed

1178
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:38,879
Speaker 3: negative ten yard a dot, so that didn't help.

1179
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:42,239
Speaker 1: Did they throw negative ten yards to him? How do

1180
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:42,759
Speaker 1: you do that?

1181
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1182
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:47,759
Speaker 1: I don't either, So I still like Digs enough to

1183
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 1: give him a B grade in this one tank. Dell

1184
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 1: felt like the odd man out last week, and he

1185
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:56,120
Speaker 1: had almost the exact same usage numbers though as Digs

1186
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 1: and Collins, so it wasn't really the odd man out.

1187
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:01,719
Speaker 1: I expect it'll mostly get cornerback Tyreek Stevenson, which is

1188
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 1: the weakest link in the Bear secondary. He was Pro

1189
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:09,440
Speaker 1: Football Focuses cornerback eighty nine last year. So still optimistic

1190
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 1: about Dell and I'm still giving him a B grade.

1191
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:15,400
Speaker 1: So one other receiver to get to Dalton Schultz. Chicago

1192
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:17,600
Speaker 1: was a bad tight end defense last year. They allowed

1193
00:57:17,640 --> 00:57:19,880
Speaker 1: the fourth most tight end receptions, the fifth most tight

1194
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 1: end yards and then the opener, Chickakongo scored a touchdown.

1195
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 1: So Dalton Schultz, if you're need kind of a dart

1196
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 1: throw tight end, he's your guy. C grade there. So

1197
00:57:28,080 --> 00:57:30,120
Speaker 1: I've given you an A grade, two b's, and a

1198
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 1: C grade. So I got to like the c. J.

1199
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 1: Stroud as well. He's got He comes in with a

1200
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:37,880
Speaker 1: B grade. Now, the Bears dominated Will Levis in Week one.

1201
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:40,360
Speaker 1: I'm trying not to overreact to that, but they have

1202
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:43,960
Speaker 1: the number one pass rush per ESPN's pass rush win rate.

1203
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 1: After a week they ranked fourth by Pro Football Focus

1204
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: in pass rush, and the Houston offensive line did not

1205
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 1: look great. They give up five stacks on Stroud, so

1206
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 1: I do have some concern about them losing the line

1207
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. I can't get you to an A grade

1208
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 1: on CJ. Stroud all, even with all the weapons he's

1209
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 1: got around him. But all those weapons so in totalities

1210
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 1: still are so good. We're going to keep the B

1211
00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:08,160
Speaker 1: grade on c. J. Stroud and then that leaves us

1212
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:12,080
Speaker 1: just with Joe Mixon. The Bears were a dominating run

1213
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 1: defense last year. Although Tony Pollard had some success last week,

1214
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 1: still liked him what I saw from him. Five yards

1215
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 1: per carry for Tony Pollard against this same team. Mixing

1216
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 1: is all about volume. Thirty carries in the opener, Yeah,

1217
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: and you give me, you give anybody thirty carries. I'm

1218
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 1: interested in him. Be great and they k back. Reporters

1219
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 1: asked whether or not Joe Mixon could sustain that workload.

1220
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 1: Coaches like, yeah, we're gonna keep giving him the ball,

1221
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 1: but that's gonna be his deal. He's going to be

1222
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 1: our workhorse.

1223
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:47,000
Speaker 3: Pickup events and you might live in there, you might,

1224
00:58:47,080 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 3: you might win. No bakers, I was thinking that Connor

1225
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 3: at some point he's going to deal with Connor. Honestly,

1226
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 3: the amount he got.

1227
00:58:57,120 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 1: I kind of hear you on that. When we come

1228
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 1: back Bucks taking on the Lions, is there anybody to

1229
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 1: bench Ereic? Can we just go like start everybody find

1230
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:30,520
Speaker 1: out when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly's like

1231

Speaker 1: welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Reminder. Guillotine leagues starting fresh,

1243
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:20,480
Speaker 1: beginning with Scott fish Bucks take on the Lions.

1244
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're dead right.

1245
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:23,720
Speaker 1: It's a start everybody game, right. It's just a matter

1246
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 1: of what the letter grades are.

1247
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:26,880
Speaker 3: So I'm not starting Kate.

1248
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:30,120
Speaker 1: On Okay, there's your one random.

1249
01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:31,720
Speaker 3: Route on eighty to eight percent of drop backs. He

1250
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 3: got one catch. I got him on the bench. But yeah,

1251
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield was my take a chance on me quarterback.

1252
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 3: I actually had a B grade on him. Jalen McMillan

1253
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 3: was your take a chance on me wide receiver. I

1254
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:45,200
Speaker 3: had a C grade on him. Mike Evans and Chris

1255
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:49,320
Speaker 3: Godwin I got A and B grades on respectively. Mike

1256
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:52,200
Speaker 3: Evans has averaged seven for one to twenty six and

1257
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 3: a score in the last three Lions games they've They've

1258
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 3: all been shootouts. In fact, Four of the last six

1259
01:00:59,360 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 3: games between these two have been shootout. They must love

1260
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:04,720
Speaker 3: shooting out with each other. So I have an A

1261
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:07,640
Speaker 3: grade on Evans, who's also the the red zone guy,

1262
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 3: the guy that scores more Chris Godwin. The Lions are

1263
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 3: the worst in the league against wide receivers and worst

1264
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:18,760
Speaker 3: against the slot. Granted that that was all Cooper Cup

1265
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 3: a lot of that was, but it doesn't change that

1266
01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 3: Godwin was second in snaps first and targets, receptions and

1267
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:27,080
Speaker 3: yards and scored last week. He's a focal point in

1268
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 3: that offense now that he's back in the slot as well.

1269
01:01:29,320 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 2: B grade.

1270
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 3: I could have given it him an A over to

1271
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 3: the running backs, I gave Bucky Irving and take a

1272
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:38,400
Speaker 3: chance on me running back Rashad White, I'm also given

1273
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 3: a see. He wasn't super super effective, but he had

1274
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 3: sixty two point five percent rush share, a number he

1275
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:49,360
Speaker 3: dip below just once last year, so clearly Bucky is

1276
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:53,480
Speaker 3: getting some work there. The Lions did hold a far

1277
01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:55,960
Speaker 3: more dynamic Kyron Williams to his worst game as a

1278
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 3: starter last week, but Rashad White's getting a seventy thirty

1279
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:01,640
Speaker 3: share and it's one hundred percent of the red zone work,

1280
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:04,000
Speaker 3: and we already know he's a bass catcher, so C

1281
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:07,480
Speaker 3: grade there over to the lion's side. A lot of

1282
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:09,880
Speaker 3: starts here too. I have a B grade on Jared Goff.

1283
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:12,280
Speaker 3: You could have talked me into an A. But averaged

1284
01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 3: over three hundred yards and two scores per game in

1285
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:16,680
Speaker 3: the last two matchups in this as we already talked about.

1286
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:19,880
Speaker 3: They were both shot outs anyway, barely cross two hundred

1287
01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:21,919
Speaker 3: last week, and the running backs did all the work

1288
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 3: scoring outside of and whatnot. Outside of one Jamison Williams touchdown.

1289
01:02:26,560 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 3: Jamison could have had a second just saying this is

1290
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:32,000
Speaker 3: likely a higher scoring game. Highest over under of the

1291
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 3: week might mean an extra score and some more yards

1292
01:02:34,800 --> 01:02:36,920
Speaker 3: from golf. That puts him in the two fifty maybe

1293
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 3: two touchdown range. That's a B maybe an A if

1294
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 3: things go well. Jameson Williams, he's gonna come in with

1295
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 3: questionable with an ankle, but he played on it after

1296
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:47,200
Speaker 3: he got hurt. They taped it up. He played on

1297
01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:51,040
Speaker 3: it last week too. B grade here led the team

1298
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:56,960
Speaker 3: in receptions and yards while being targeted nine times, nine

1299
01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:01,200
Speaker 3: second in snap's second highest of rate of first read

1300
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 3: targets in the NFL. They he was consistently the primary

1301
01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 3: read in that offense. Last week, uh second in the

1302
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:10,480
Speaker 3: NFL in yards after the catch per reception. So when

1303
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 3: he caught the ball, he got thirteen point seven yards

1304
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:16,280
Speaker 3: after the catch, which is a ridiculous, really nice. Yeah,

1305
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:18,440
Speaker 3: the off season drum beats seemed legit, and he'll see

1306
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 3: a lot of Jamal Dean, who's been solid, if not

1307
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:23,479
Speaker 3: great for years. So just to just to b grade there,

1308
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:26,200
Speaker 3: I'm on Ross Saint Brown. I'm going back to the base.

1309
01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:30,160
Speaker 3: It's it's the bounce back. Top paid stud safety Antoine

1310
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 3: Winfields out. The quarterback that would have covered him, Bryce

1311
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 3: Hall is out. Yeah. So and last last week they

1312
01:03:36,520 --> 01:03:40,000
Speaker 3: did hold wide Washington wide receivers down, but they're missing

1313
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 3: several several options from that second secondary. He's going to

1314
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:46,880
Speaker 3: get rookie Tykey Smith in his second career game. Yes,

1315
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:50,160
Speaker 3: So a grade on I'm on Ross Saint Brown. A

1316
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:53,520
Speaker 3: grade on Sam Laporter, who I also think bounced back somehow.

1317
01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 3: His four catches for forty five yards was fourth last week.

1318
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:01,360
Speaker 3: I saw the yardage out of the tight ends last

1319
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:03,240
Speaker 3: week was like the worst than twenty plus years or

1320
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:08,520
Speaker 3: something like that. If Dean helps lockdown jameson at least

1321
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:10,919
Speaker 3: some laporters should get back to normal with a few

1322
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:14,160
Speaker 3: extra targets. Over to the running game, A grade on

1323
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:18,160
Speaker 3: Gibbs and a B grame on Montgomery. The Bucks allowed

1324
01:04:18,200 --> 01:04:20,560
Speaker 3: seven catches for one hundred and one yards to backs

1325
01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:23,920
Speaker 3: last week. That's mostly Gibbs his game, and Gibbs played

1326
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 3: one more snap than Montgomery. I think Montgomery, I think

1327
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:29,600
Speaker 3: he's the A grade because he's going to get more

1328
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:32,080
Speaker 3: work early in the pass catching work and they kind

1329
01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:35,000
Speaker 3: of split three to two of the inside the ten rushes.

1330
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:37,960
Speaker 3: David Montgomery gets the B grade because he did have

1331
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:40,720
Speaker 3: more touches than Montgomery, and I do think if this

1332
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:43,160
Speaker 3: is the kind of game that's the shootout, a lot

1333
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:45,400
Speaker 3: of offense, a lot more touches to be had, a

1334
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 3: lot more opportunities to be had, So Montgomery with a

1335
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:48,440
Speaker 3: B grade.

1336
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:51,000
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the Steelers taking on the Broncos.

1337
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 1: Brian and I'm going to start here. Specifically, we didn't

1338
01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:55,640
Speaker 1: know what Arthur Smith was going to do to mess

1339
01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:58,840
Speaker 1: up this offense, but now we know Jalen Warren fairly

1340
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:02,240
Speaker 1: on the field. In week number one, I'd like to

1341
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:05,200
Speaker 1: start with the Steelers running backs, and tell me what

1342
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:08,280
Speaker 1: you expect from these two guys, Naji Harris Jalen Warren.

1343
01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:12,920
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, let's start there. Naji Harris, he was he

1344
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 2: was basically a bellcow. In week one, he saw twice

1345
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:20,640
Speaker 2: as many snaps as Jalen Warren and ten times as

1346
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:25,120
Speaker 2: many carries I mean twenty to two Jalen Warren. Cord

1347
01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:28,280
Speaker 2: Erol Patterson had twice as many carries as Jalen Warren.

1348
01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 3: In fairness to Warren, he came in hurt and they

1349
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 3: were gonna use him.

1350
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 2: In Yes, I think that was a little but I

1351
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 2: still like Dalen Warren, but not this week. He's on

1352
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:39,160
Speaker 2: the bench. Naji Harris gets to see and if you

1353
01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:41,720
Speaker 2: needed to know, cord Aerol Patterson also on the bench.

1354
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:44,800
Speaker 2: Over the wide receivers starting with more bench grades, and

1355
01:05:44,840 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 2: really the only wide receiver were worth talking about, that's

1356
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:50,840
Speaker 2: George Pickens. He's going to draw a ton of coverage

1357
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:55,320
Speaker 2: from Patrick's artan who basically erases opposing number one wide receivers,

1358
01:05:55,440 --> 01:05:58,280
Speaker 2: especially when the number one wide receiver is the only

1359
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:01,080
Speaker 2: viable white out on the team, as Jorge Pickens is

1360
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 2: for Pittsburgh. So he was on the bench. We're not

1361
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:07,280
Speaker 2: gonna go Van Jefferson, Calvin Austin, Rookie Roman Wilson might

1362
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:09,240
Speaker 2: make his debut with our all on the bench. I

1363
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:11,479
Speaker 2: will give Pat Fryer muth a C grade. Though Mouth

1364
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:14,840
Speaker 2: took eighty four percent of his snaps out wide last week.

1365
01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 2: That's great, most among tight ends. Scott hooked me with

1366
01:06:17,520 --> 01:06:19,960
Speaker 2: that stat. I appreciate that. And last season the Broncos

1367
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:22,960
Speaker 2: allowed the third most catches and the most yards and

1368
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:25,400
Speaker 2: touchdowns to tight end. So like Mouth with the C

1369
01:06:25,600 --> 01:06:27,920
Speaker 2: and Justin fields, was your take a chance on me

1370
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:30,040
Speaker 2: quarterback charge? I was going to give him a sea

1371
01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:32,280
Speaker 2: as well. You got it with that rushing upside always

1372
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:36,320
Speaker 2: over to the Broncos, starting with their running bang, running

1373
01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:40,600
Speaker 2: gang game. I got Javonte Williams on the bench. Pittsburgh

1374
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:43,520
Speaker 2: held the Falcons backs, primarily Bejon Robinson, to eighty nine

1375
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:46,720
Speaker 2: rushing yards in Week one. Williams gained only twenty three

1376
01:06:46,760 --> 01:06:49,840
Speaker 2: yards on eight carries last week and saw just two targets.

1377
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:52,480
Speaker 2: That's why I like Julia McLoughlin more. He might take

1378
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 2: a chance on me running back. I think he sees

1379
01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:56,880
Speaker 2: five to six targets in this game. Hopefully, reels them

1380
01:06:56,920 --> 01:07:00,440
Speaker 2: all in will be PPR viable and should be an

1381
01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:02,360
Speaker 2: ugly game. And that's why the rest of the Broncos

1382
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:04,360
Speaker 2: on the bench. The only one we'll really get into

1383
01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 2: is Courtland Sutton. The Steelers have a scary secondary and

1384
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 2: I can easily foresee Sutton having the same pathetic production

1385
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:14,600
Speaker 2: as Drake London had last week against the Steelers, if

1386
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:17,640
Speaker 2: not worse. Joey Porter Junior is a problem corner up

1387
01:07:17,720 --> 01:07:19,520
Speaker 2: look for fantasy purposes.

1388
01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:21,400
Speaker 1: And by the way, I mean this might be the

1389
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:22,440
Speaker 1: best defense in the NFL.

1390
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:24,440
Speaker 2: The Steelers, Yeah, and this is.

1391
01:07:24,400 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 1: Gonna be a fantasy nights are unbelieved.

1392
01:07:27,120 --> 01:07:27,280
Speaker 2: Yah.

1393
01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:30,120
Speaker 1: TJ. Watt just destroyed Kirk Cousins.

1394
01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:31,920
Speaker 2: So I'm just not even gonna mention anyone else for

1395
01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:33,880
Speaker 2: the Broncos. They're all on the bench too too.

1396
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:37,720
Speaker 1: Bengals chiefs, We've already talked about Joe Burrow and our

1397
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:39,640
Speaker 1: concern for him. I'm want to start with Jamar Chase

1398
01:07:39,880 --> 01:07:44,040
Speaker 1: potentially a bit rusty still and without T Higgins, Chase

1399
01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:46,600
Speaker 1: is going to draw shadow coverage from Trent McDuffie, who

1400
01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:49,720
Speaker 1: frequently shadows, especially when there's not a proven number two

1401
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 1: for the opposition. And with all due respect to Andre

1402
01:07:53,200 --> 01:07:56,480
Speaker 1: Yoshi Vash, he's not a huge threat. And Trent McDuffie

1403
01:07:56,560 --> 01:07:59,280
Speaker 1: is just gonna shadow Jamar Chase. McDuffie gave up twenty

1404
01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:02,240
Speaker 1: two scoreless yards in his coverage against Baltimore last week.

1405
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:04,000
Speaker 1: I've got I can only get you to a B

1406
01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:07,000
Speaker 1: grade on Jamar Chase, as awesome as he is. So

1407
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:10,400
Speaker 1: that really brings us to Joe Burrow. So many negative

1408
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:13,520
Speaker 1: factors here, No t Higgins Chase locked up, the water

1409
01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:17,519
Speaker 1: bottle thing, the water hole, water bottle, the wrist flexing. Yeah,

1410
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:20,240
Speaker 1: I just I can't. I can't give you a starting

1411
01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 1: grade on Joe Burrow in this game. Then not enough

1412
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:26,200
Speaker 1: other good quality targets on this whole team. Chase Brown's

1413
01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:28,519
Speaker 1: on the bench, he's the clear second banana, by the way,

1414
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:31,080
Speaker 1: do what we say second banana. Why isn't a second cum

1415
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:34,000
Speaker 1: quad or second Why is that the fruit of choice?

1416
01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:34,800
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1417
01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:37,200
Speaker 2: I have never heard second banana. I thought you just

1418
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:38,639
Speaker 2: made second fiddle.

1419
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:41,800
Speaker 1: Second fiddles common too, But second banana is a thing,

1420
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:42,680
Speaker 1: really it is.

1421
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:44,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, we've got independent.

1422
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:47,920
Speaker 1: Confirmation is in the second city Chicago, second city of Chicago.

1423
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:50,439
Speaker 1: That's not relevant to this. I don't think let's start

1424
01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:51,599
Speaker 1: with that. Let's go to Zach Moss.

1425
01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:53,160
Speaker 2: There's always money in the banana stand.

1426
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:55,439
Speaker 1: That is that is a fact. There's always money in

1427
01:08:55,439 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 1: the banas. Don't set your banana stand on fire. We've

1428
01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:00,840
Speaker 1: established that Zach Moss is the lead back and the

1429
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 1: goal line back. He ran for four point nine yards

1430
01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:06,840
Speaker 1: per carry last week, average to healthy two point eight

1431
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:10,759
Speaker 1: yards after contact. And I don't like the Cincinnati passing matchup,

1432
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:12,640
Speaker 1: as I just explained, So I think the Bengals are

1433
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:14,720
Speaker 1: going to try to run as much as they possibly

1434
01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:16,800
Speaker 1: can in this one for as long as the game

1435
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:20,600
Speaker 1: script allows. When these teams matched up in Week seventeen

1436
01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:24,320
Speaker 1: of last year, Joe Mixon ran the ball twenty one

1437
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:27,639
Speaker 1: times for the Bengals. That's about what I see coming

1438
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:30,040
Speaker 1: from Moss with a possible touchdown here in this game.

1439
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:32,320
Speaker 1: B grade on Zach Moss. Let's go over to the

1440
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:37,160
Speaker 1: chief side. Travis Kelcey and Isaiah Pacheco get a grades.

1441
01:09:37,240 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 1: Just a couple of quick notes. No, Gray was a

1442
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:41,439
Speaker 1: factor last week, but he only ran ten routes. That's

1443
01:09:41,439 --> 01:09:43,799
Speaker 1: probably not going to be a repeat there. And for Pacheco,

1444
01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:47,240
Speaker 1: he follows Romandre Stevenson, who tore through the Bengals defense

1445
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:51,200
Speaker 1: last week, tallying twelve avoided tackles, so I like Isaiah

1446
01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:54,519
Speaker 1: Pacheco in this game, A grade for him. Rashie Rice

1447
01:09:54,640 --> 01:09:57,920
Speaker 1: heavily involved in the Chiefs offense, dominating all the other

1448
01:09:57,960 --> 01:10:01,760
Speaker 1: wideouts with nine targets in week number one. He runs

1449
01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:03,800
Speaker 1: half his plays from the slot, which puts him up

1450
01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:07,439
Speaker 1: against cornerback Mike Hilton. Hilton's was good last year, didn't

1451
01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:09,920
Speaker 1: give up a single touchdown in his coverage, So just

1452
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:12,800
Speaker 1: a B grade for she Rice for me in this game.

1453
01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:18,559
Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown's season might be over, and that means Xavier

1454
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:22,320
Speaker 1: Worthy is going to turn into probably an every week's starter.

1455
01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:25,040
Speaker 1: Here in cementsa starting grade for me in this game.

1456
01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 1: He had the electrifying debut in Week one, but his

1457
01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:31,240
Speaker 1: production came on very few targets, so this turns into

1458
01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:34,000
Speaker 1: a high risk, high reward situation for those that start

1459
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:37,960
Speaker 1: Xavier Worthy. He had just three targets thirteen percent of Mahomes'

1460
01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:41,800
Speaker 1: throws only thirteen percent of Mahomes' throws. He also scored

1461
01:10:41,840 --> 01:10:45,080
Speaker 1: on that run in week one, which is not very replicatable.

1462
01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:48,280
Speaker 1: Hopefully the utilization goes up in his second start. Here,

1463
01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:51,439
Speaker 1: I've got a B grade on Xavier Worthy and then, lastly,

1464
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:54,599
Speaker 1: last guy to talk about, Patrick Mahomes. Can't really get

1465
01:10:54,600 --> 01:10:57,360
Speaker 1: a read on the twenty twenty fourth Cincinnati secondary based

1466
01:10:57,360 --> 01:11:00,519
Speaker 1: on the limited play of Jacoby Brissett last week, but

1467
01:11:00,560 --> 01:11:03,240
Speaker 1: they were a competence secondary last year and no opposing

1468
01:11:03,320 --> 01:11:07,080
Speaker 1: quarterback top two touchdowns against Cincinnati all season, including when

1469
01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 1: these teams met in Week seventeen, and Patrick Mahomes just

1470
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:12,240
Speaker 1: had two hundred and forty five yards and one score,

1471
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:15,160
Speaker 1: So I've only got the B grade Patrick Mahomes.

1472
01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:18,720
Speaker 3: Top banana and second banana originating from Burlesque Theater, a

1473
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:21,720
Speaker 3: very popular comedy skit where the leading com comedian was

1474
01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 3: given up banana by the second comedian after delivering a

1475
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:26,240
Speaker 3: funny punchline.

1476
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:28,920
Speaker 1: Now we know the answer, thank you. I asked, why

1477
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 1: do we do the second banana?

1478
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:31,960
Speaker 2: You answer, I'm.

1479
01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:33,400
Speaker 1: Gonna assume you didn't google it, that you just knew

1480
01:11:33,479 --> 01:11:33,800
Speaker 1: that up.

1481
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:36,880
Speaker 3: Just do that when we come back.

1482
01:11:37,439 --> 01:11:41,760
Speaker 1: The Fantasy Football Weekly time machine kicks in layers you

1483
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:45,080

1488
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:25,439
Speaker 1: of tools and data available at fantasylife dot com. This

1489
01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:27,519
Speaker 1: is a segment that we like to start with our

1490
01:12:27,640 --> 01:12:30,800
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football weekly time machine. We call it three mature Speculation,

1491
01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:32,320
Speaker 1: as we give you players you want to pick up

1492
01:12:32,320 --> 01:12:34,800
Speaker 1: now that everybody's going to try to pick up next week,

1493
01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:37,679
Speaker 1: but they're already on your team. Let's start with Scott.

1494
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:39,920
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Tyler Johnson, who some of you

1495
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:41,639
Speaker 3: may have picked up this week, but he's still only

1496
01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:45,240
Speaker 3: twenty six percent rostered according to Jordan Rodrieg and many

1497
01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:47,840
Speaker 3: Beat reporters over there. For the Rams, he is the

1498
01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:51,559
Speaker 3: backup to Puka Nikoua. DeMarcus Robinson's actually just a starter.

1499
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:55,800
Speaker 3: He's actually right stay starter. Yeah, Tyler Johnson is moving

1500
01:12:55,840 --> 01:12:56,960
Speaker 3: into the Nikoua role.

1501
01:12:57,560 --> 01:12:57,680
Speaker 2: Uh.

1502
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:00,360
Speaker 3: He was third in yards after the catch per exception

1503
01:13:00,439 --> 01:13:04,520
Speaker 3: at just over thirteen yards this last week's five catches

1504
01:13:04,840 --> 01:13:07,679
Speaker 3: on seven targets for seventy nine yards. If he does

1505
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:09,519
Speaker 3: take that role for the next four or five weeks.

1506
01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:12,880
Speaker 3: They can't keep feeding Cooper cup twenty plus targets a game.

1507
01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:16,280
Speaker 3: He's gonna get his, and especially in a game like this,

1508
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:18,439
Speaker 3: this could be a shootout, he might be worth the

1509
01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:18,960
Speaker 3: dart throw.

1510
01:13:19,160 --> 01:13:21,000
Speaker 1: All right, Brian, your premature speculation.

1511
01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:24,240
Speaker 2: Player, I'm looking a little further ahead with mine. But

1512
01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:27,599
Speaker 2: my player would not have qualified for this segment. Last week,

1513
01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 2: but after taking zero snaps in his debut, he was

1514
01:13:31,600 --> 01:13:34,599
Speaker 2: mass dropped. And I'm talking about rookie running back Blake

1515
01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:37,519
Speaker 2: Korum for the Rams, did not see the field. People

1516
01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:39,800
Speaker 2: are expecting him to do the backup st you'll eat

1517
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:42,519
Speaker 2: into Kien Williams workload. That did not happen in the

1518
01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:45,280
Speaker 2: first week, and people have gotten impatient already, and he's

1519
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:47,920
Speaker 2: been mass dropped. His ownership percentage is under fifty percent,

1520
01:13:47,960 --> 01:13:51,200
Speaker 2: so we qualifies. And hey, Ronnie Rivers was the backup.

1521
01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:53,439
Speaker 2: But if something were to happen to Kien Williams, I

1522
01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:55,360
Speaker 2: don't think it's gonna be Ronnie Rivers Who's gonna be

1523
01:13:55,400 --> 01:13:57,479
Speaker 2: the starting running back. It's going to be Blake corum

1524
01:13:57,560 --> 01:14:01,120
Speaker 2: So an intriguing stash for me. People giving up on already.

1525
01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:02,920
Speaker 2: I think that's a mistake. So go grab.

1526
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:05,880
Speaker 1: Him, David and Joku can miss a month with his

1527
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:10,639
Speaker 1: bad ankle. Jordan Aikins the only healthy tight tight end

1528
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:13,640
Speaker 1: on the entire Browns roster right now. They may have

1529
01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:16,840
Speaker 1: to elevate a practice squad player for Sunday. Last week,

1530
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:21,000
Speaker 1: Aikins just walked right into in Djoku's role. He played

1531
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:24,839
Speaker 1: forty two snaps. He was targeted four times with three catches,

1532
01:14:25,040 --> 01:14:27,479
Speaker 1: and Kevin Stefanski loves to throw to his tight ends.

1533
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:31,120
Speaker 1: Last year, Cleveland threw the third most tight end passes.

1534
01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:34,600
Speaker 1: Stefanski ain't changing. Jordan Akan's gonna get a bunch of

1535
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:37,680
Speaker 1: action here. And by the way, he's got history with

1536
01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:39,920
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson from their Houston days together.

1537
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:40,439
Speaker 2: That's true.

1538
01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:42,519
Speaker 1: How about that you've got problems a tight end, and

1539
01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:45,160
Speaker 1: who doesn't Jordan Akins? That might be a sneaky stash.

1540
01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:48,160
Speaker 2: We always welcome a new tight end to the wasteland. Yes,

1541
01:14:48,200 --> 01:14:50,200
Speaker 2: we all are welcome in the wasteland.

1542
01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:55,639
Speaker 1: Speaking to the wasteland, Let's go to Arizona, right, going

1543
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:58,280
Speaker 1: to the Cardinals in a game that feels like it'll

1544
01:14:58,280 --> 01:14:59,559
Speaker 1: probably be pretty lopsided.

1545
01:14:59,680 --> 01:15:02,519
Speaker 3: Ye, I have a decent amount of starting grades here.

1546
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:04,879
Speaker 3: I got a B grade on Matthew Stafford. The Cardinals

1547
01:15:04,880 --> 01:15:07,760
Speaker 3: were dead last in defensive DVOA last week. It's one

1548
01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:10,160
Speaker 3: of the highest over unders of the week. He was

1549
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:12,439
Speaker 3: one of only two quarterbacks to pass for three hundred

1550
01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:14,439
Speaker 3: plus yards and the Cardinals just gave up two hundred

1551
01:15:14,439 --> 01:15:17,160
Speaker 3: and thirty two yards and two scores. Another couple on

1552
01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:19,559
Speaker 3: the ground to Josh Allen. I don't think Stafford's going

1553
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:23,000
Speaker 3: to get those ground ones. But four touchdowns last game

1554
01:15:23,080 --> 01:15:26,280
Speaker 3: against the Cardinals as well for Matthew Stafford in his

1555
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:32,160
Speaker 3: receiving game. Yeah, so Cooper cups just obviously. Can I

1556
01:15:32,439 --> 01:15:34,800
Speaker 3: move on from that again? Yea, absolutely all. Right over

1557
01:15:34,840 --> 01:15:37,160
Speaker 3: to DeMarcus Robinson, who I'm giving a C grade two.

1558
01:15:37,360 --> 01:15:41,360
Speaker 3: He's starter, ran the second most draw routes. He's constantly

1559
01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:44,160
Speaker 3: on the field, as is Tyler Johnson going to be

1560
01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:47,200
Speaker 3: because they run a ton of eleven personnel. He's the

1561
01:15:47,280 --> 01:15:50,120
Speaker 3: safer C grade. I have a bench grade on Tyler Johnson,

1562
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:52,559
Speaker 3: but I could see a dart throw. Do we have

1563
01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:55,840
Speaker 3: a D grade dart throw there? Oh? But okay, he'll

1564
01:15:55,840 --> 01:15:58,160
Speaker 3: get the majority of his work against Sean Murphy bonteen,

1565
01:15:58,680 --> 01:16:02,880
Speaker 3: who's decent, tough matchup the last two years, but Tyler

1566
01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:07,120
Speaker 3: Johnson knows him well from practicing against in Tampa Bay.

1567
01:16:07,320 --> 01:16:12,680
Speaker 3: So and I'm gonna move on Kobe Parkinson. Tight end,

1568
01:16:13,560 --> 01:16:17,160
Speaker 3: Brian's Kobe Parkinson. Can I just say it's Brian's Kobe Parkinson.

1569
01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:20,240
Speaker 3: Guy finished his tight end seven but he had forty

1570
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:23,720
Speaker 3: seven yards, which was third among tight ends last week.

1571
01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:27,000
Speaker 3: In the last two yards two years, he has eleven

1572
01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:30,920
Speaker 3: twenty plus yard receptions, which is Yeah, who would have

1573
01:16:30,960 --> 01:16:31,759
Speaker 3: guessed athlete?

1574
01:16:31,760 --> 01:16:32,120
Speaker 2: Apparently?

1575
01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:34,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, the Cards took away the tight end last week,

1576
01:16:34,840 --> 01:16:37,880
Speaker 3: but that's because they bracketed Kencaid, who's a crazy high

1577
01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:40,639
Speaker 3: rate of double teams. They can't do that against Parkinson here,

1578
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:43,719
Speaker 3: and Parkinson ran the most routes among tight ends last week.

1579
01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:46,240
Speaker 3: So c grade on Parkinson. You might be able to

1580
01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:49,960
Speaker 3: talk me into more. Kirn Williams, he did it all

1581
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:52,439
Speaker 3: for them last week, but only two point eight yards

1582
01:16:52,439 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 3: per carry and no explosive plays. Might be a product

1583
01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:58,400
Speaker 3: of the Lions defense. I don't know, but he had

1584
01:16:58,439 --> 01:17:02,639
Speaker 3: twenty six explosive plays last year, so it's quite a change.

1585
01:17:02,880 --> 01:17:04,840
Speaker 3: He had twenty one of the twenty three touches for

1586
01:17:04,920 --> 01:17:09,240
Speaker 3: the Rams, Blake Korm didn't see an offensive snap. James

1587
01:17:09,240 --> 01:17:11,719
Speaker 3: Cook went for over one hundred yards last weekend, basically

1588
01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 3: the same volume. So Karen Williams, I'm giving you a

1589
01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:16,120
Speaker 3: B grade. We'll see if you can be more effective

1590
01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:19,720
Speaker 3: this week. Over to the Cardinals side, Kyler Murray B

1591
01:17:19,880 --> 01:17:22,040
Speaker 3: grade five for fifty seven on the ground and that's

1592
01:17:22,040 --> 01:17:24,719
Speaker 3: a lot of why he's getting this, and also they're

1593
01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:26,439
Speaker 3: likely to be behind, so he's going to have to

1594
01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:28,800
Speaker 3: throw a little bit more. Said it wasn't his job

1595
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:32,000
Speaker 3: to get Harrison the ball. Buffalo made a concerted effort

1596
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:35,240
Speaker 3: to take Harrison away, leaving the targets to be spread around.

1597
01:17:35,479 --> 01:17:38,080
Speaker 3: He has three hundred plus yards and or multiple scores

1598
01:17:38,080 --> 01:17:41,200
Speaker 3: and three the last four in this matchup, it's routinely

1599
01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:44,120
Speaker 3: a shootout. So I'm given B grade for Kyler Murray.

1600
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:47,320
Speaker 3: His receivers. Michael Wilson was my take a chance on

1601
01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:49,160
Speaker 3: me player who I think will be in that Jameson

1602
01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:52,280
Speaker 3: Williams role. From last week against the Rams, Greg Dortch

1603
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:55,360
Speaker 3: twenty six percent target share moves around a ton. He

1604
01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:59,120
Speaker 3: nine for eighty and three for twenty seven and one

1605
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:01,599
Speaker 3: in the last two games versus the Rams, apparently Greg

1606
01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:03,800
Speaker 3: George is just good against the Rams. That could be.

1607
01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:05,800
Speaker 3: So I got a C grade there as he was

1608
01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:09,120
Speaker 3: the primary slot guy last week and did well there.

1609
01:18:09,520 --> 01:18:12,479
Speaker 3: C grade on Marvin Harrison. I'm not giving up as

1610
01:18:12,520 --> 01:18:15,160
Speaker 3: the Buffalo on him just yet, as Buffalo took him away.

1611
01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:19,559
Speaker 3: He may get Tredeavious White, but Tredavious White just allowed

1612
01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:22,519
Speaker 3: two for seventy in a score. So yeah, maybe maybe

1613
01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:23,519
Speaker 3: there's something. It might be.

1614
01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:25,720
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't think he's the same Tredavious White he was.

1615
01:18:25,880 --> 01:18:28,759
Speaker 3: Yeah four years Yeah, could be. Trey mcbide is getting

1616
01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:30,439
Speaker 3: a B grade. Led the team in targets with a

1617
01:18:30,520 --> 01:18:34,599
Speaker 3: twenty nine percent target share after being targeted nine times.

1618
01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:40,000
Speaker 3: Yardage wasn't there, but the no scores, but snap percentage, drop, percentage,

1619
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:43,240
Speaker 3: target share, every single other thing was there. It'll come.

1620
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:45,640
Speaker 3: It'll come with the rest of the metrics. Eventually, the

1621
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:48,800
Speaker 3: stats will come. B grade on James Connor, who saw

1622
01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:51,360
Speaker 3: eighty four percent of the running back rushes and twelve

1623
01:18:51,400 --> 01:18:53,840
Speaker 3: point nine percent target share. He got everything and the

1624
01:18:53,920 --> 01:18:56,639
Speaker 3: Rams just gave up one hundred and eighty seven total

1625
01:18:56,760 --> 01:18:59,599
Speaker 3: yards to Lions runners. I got a B grade. Hair

1626
01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:00,920
Speaker 3: to talked me into an A.

1627
01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:05,679
Speaker 1: But we'll see Marvin Harrison's top speed top recorded sixteen

1628
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:08,960
Speaker 1: something sixteen miles an hour. Yea, that is not good.

1629
01:19:09,160 --> 01:19:11,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, in college he was hidden in the twenties. So

1630
01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:12,320
Speaker 3: I'm also still Brian.

1631
01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:14,519
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Monday night game, Falcons at Eagles.

1632
01:19:15,439 --> 01:19:17,559
Speaker 1: This is a This is a game which the Falcons

1633
01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:20,719
Speaker 1: need to obviously improve everything that we saw from last week.

1634
01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:24,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, we won't start with Kirk Cousins. I'm still a

1635
01:19:24,920 --> 01:19:27,519
Speaker 2: little bitter he is responsible for my chopping in a

1636
01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:29,160
Speaker 2: Guyietina leagu last week. We're gonna start with be Jon

1637
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:31,280
Speaker 2: Robinson and give him an a ninety percent of the

1638
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:33,320
Speaker 2: snaps in week one. I don't think Arthur Smith gave

1639
01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:36,840
Speaker 2: him ninety snaps right last season. He has not missed

1640
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:39,800
Speaker 2: at all in Atlanta. Not the best matchup. But you

1641
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:42,759
Speaker 2: gotta love Bijon here and everywhere now that Arthur Smith

1642
01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:46,400
Speaker 2: has gone. Bijon also took eight snaps out wide last week,

1643
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:47,479
Speaker 2: like playing wide receiver.

1644
01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:48,800
Speaker 1: That's fun.

1645
01:19:48,920 --> 01:19:51,120
Speaker 2: Saw five targets in that game. He's gonna be way

1646
01:19:51,120 --> 01:19:53,320
Speaker 2: more involved this year. Hopefully that continues on Monday Night

1647
01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:55,680
Speaker 2: and it should. He gets the A. I'm gonna give

1648
01:19:55,680 --> 01:20:00,160
Speaker 2: a seed to Drake London and Darnell Mooney. Formidable corner

1649
01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:03,920
Speaker 2: duo in Darius Slay and Quinnon Mitchell for the Eagles.

1650
01:20:04,240 --> 01:20:06,680
Speaker 2: The Falcons should be chasing points in this game. One

1651
01:20:06,720 --> 01:20:09,040
Speaker 2: would think it's sub to sific guy you drafted in

1652
01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:10,920
Speaker 2: the second round, like Drake London, so he gets the

1653
01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:13,400
Speaker 2: sea and Darnell Mooney the only Falcons pass catcher with

1654
01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:15,600
Speaker 2: an a dot north of ten yards in week one.

1655
01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:18,720
Speaker 2: I'm surprised Kirk Cosins actually threw it more than ten

1656
01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:20,320
Speaker 2: yards in Week one if you watch that game.

1657
01:20:20,360 --> 01:20:23,400
Speaker 3: But Kirk cousins longest completion last week was twenty seven

1658
01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:24,120
Speaker 3: yards something like that.

1659
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:26,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was bad. Well, just we're gonna get to it.

1660
01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:28,840
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins. He's on the bench. We need to see

1661
01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:30,639
Speaker 2: him do something before we can trust him. But I'm

1662
01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:33,200
Speaker 2: not gonna gloss over Kyle Pitts. Don't worry, he still

1663
01:20:33,240 --> 01:20:35,120
Speaker 2: gets to see. This is the only time I've given

1664
01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:38,040
Speaker 2: just as I've given CCC. He's really only one of

1665
01:20:38,040 --> 01:20:40,240
Speaker 2: these guys. Is probably gonna have a good game between Pitts,

1666
01:20:40,600 --> 01:20:44,040
Speaker 2: London and Mooney. But you gotta start Kyle Pitts unless

1667
01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:47,200
Speaker 2: you also roster Colby Parkinson. Then I would start Parkinson.

1668
01:20:47,280 --> 01:20:49,800
Speaker 2: But Pitt's got on the board in week one. Got

1669
01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:51,240
Speaker 2: that out of the way. He gets to see here

1670
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:53,640
Speaker 2: in a likely shootout or where the Falcons will be

1671
01:20:53,680 --> 01:20:57,799
Speaker 2: chasing points over to the Eagles side. A for Sakuon Barkley,

1672
01:20:57,920 --> 01:21:00,719
Speaker 2: A for Jalen Hurts. It was gonna be an easy

1673
01:21:00,800 --> 01:21:04,559
Speaker 2: A for aj Brown, but he popped on the injury

1674
01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:07,320
Speaker 2: report on Friday with a hamstring injury, and that's not

1675
01:21:07,400 --> 01:21:10,439
Speaker 2: good when that happens late. So monitor that I'm gonna

1676
01:21:10,439 --> 01:21:13,360
Speaker 2: get downgrade him the problem. Oh that's right, not till monday. Yeah,

1677
01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:17,160
Speaker 2: not till Monday. So Johan Dotson out there, go grab him.

1678
01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:18,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, pick up Dotson right now.

1679
01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:21,200
Speaker 2: Ray Ray McCloud might be available for the Falcons. He

1680
01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:23,920
Speaker 2: saw six targets he led to the Falcons wide receivers

1681
01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:24,840
Speaker 2: and targets in week one.

1682
01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:28,120
Speaker 1: Be sure to put aj Brown into your flex shot

1683
01:21:28,280 --> 01:21:32,080
Speaker 1: so you have every available opportunity to find a replacement.

1684
01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:35,040
Speaker 2: I had a B on Devonte Smith, but if I'm

1685
01:21:35,120 --> 01:21:37,479
Speaker 2: giving I'm moving that. I'm flipping those grades now with

1686
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:40,040
Speaker 2: this hamsteng injury. You're gonna start Smith either way. And

1687
01:21:40,479 --> 01:21:42,880
Speaker 2: a B for Dallas Goddard. The Falcons are one of

1688
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:45,439
Speaker 2: five teams to allow at least one hundred catches to

1689
01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:48,400
Speaker 2: tight ends last season, and they surrendered six catches to

1690
01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:51,120
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh tight ends in Week one and uh, we'll take

1691
01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:52,519
Speaker 2: that all day long and the tight end waste.

1692
01:21:52,720 --> 01:21:57,160
Speaker 1: I was really happy to see Dallas Goddard with so much,

1693
01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:00,040
Speaker 1: so much activity in this game because you know, it

1694
01:21:59,920 --> 01:22:02,400
Speaker 1: was so spotty last year. Yeah, you know, maybe this

1695
01:22:02,720 --> 01:22:05,599
Speaker 1: Kellen Moore offense is going to feature him more like

1696
01:22:05,640 --> 01:22:08,520
Speaker 1: he was prior to last season when it was really inconsistent.

1697
01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:12,439
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk Giants and Commanders. Oh boy, okay,

1698
01:22:12,600 --> 01:22:15,240
Speaker 1: you know I punted this one to the final matchup.

1699
01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:17,559
Speaker 3: You wanted to end with the bang. You let the

1700
01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:18,360
Speaker 3: people want this.

1701
01:22:18,960 --> 01:22:21,600
Speaker 1: One of my favorite sleepers of the entire week is

1702
01:22:21,640 --> 01:22:24,760
Speaker 1: coming in this matchup though. Oh but let's start with

1703
01:22:24,840 --> 01:22:27,360
Speaker 1: a non sleeper and that's some leak neighbors. I think

1704
01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:30,759
Speaker 1: the breakout game is coming from elak neighbors right here. Perfect,

1705
01:22:30,800 --> 01:22:33,960
Speaker 1: So it's you know, in week one he led all

1706
01:22:34,040 --> 01:22:37,200
Speaker 1: Giants receivers in snaps and routes run, so you know,

1707
01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:41,920
Speaker 1: establish himself right away incredibly positive matchup against Washington, which

1708
01:22:41,960 --> 01:22:45,600
Speaker 1: got obliterated by Baker Mayfield last week and was the

1709
01:22:45,680 --> 01:22:49,200
Speaker 1: league's worst pass defense last year. In Week one, the

1710
01:22:49,240 --> 01:22:53,040
Speaker 1: Commander's three starting cornerbacks had Pro Football Focus ranks of

1711
01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:57,200
Speaker 1: cornerback fifty nine, quarterback ninety seven, and dead last at

1712
01:22:57,280 --> 01:23:00,760
Speaker 1: cornerback one hundred and two, and a manual Forbes. Looks

1713
01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:03,000
Speaker 1: like he's going to be out. So this is yet

1714
01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:06,080
Speaker 1: another loss for an already thin group of cornerbacks. So

1715
01:23:06,120 --> 01:23:08,280
Speaker 1: I've got to be great on eliite neighbors. I think

1716
01:23:08,320 --> 01:23:11,360
Speaker 1: that comes together here and then my super sleeper out

1717
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:15,080
Speaker 1: of this game, Wan Dale Robinson. I like him here.

1718
01:23:15,479 --> 01:23:19,320
Speaker 1: The Commanders allowed the six most wide receiver receptions last year,

1719
01:23:19,360 --> 01:23:21,840
Speaker 1: and last week the Commanders allowed the fourth most wide

1720
01:23:21,840 --> 01:23:25,640
Speaker 1: receiver receptions fifteen in one game one. Dale Robinson was

1721
01:23:25,640 --> 01:23:30,439
Speaker 1: targeted twelve times last week, twelve targets. He'll be covered

1722
01:23:30,439 --> 01:23:34,800
Speaker 1: by Commander's rookie slot cornerback Tyke Smith. No way we

1723
01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:36,920
Speaker 1: meant to him else elsewhere. I think this might be

1724
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:39,280
Speaker 1: I might have Tikee Smith confused with somebody else. I'm

1725
01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:42,040
Speaker 1: not sure he was. He allowed all four of his

1726
01:23:42,080 --> 01:23:44,640
Speaker 1: targets to be caught in his coverage.

1727
01:23:44,360 --> 01:23:46,400
Speaker 3: Way, I got Mike Senis still.

1728
01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:48,439
Speaker 1: Oh, that's it, it is. That's exactly what it is.

1729
01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:51,639
Speaker 1: It is it's Mike Stannis still or whatever. That's exactly right.

1730
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:55,160
Speaker 1: And he also allowed four targets in his coverage to

1731
01:23:55,280 --> 01:24:01,360
Speaker 1: be four targets four receptions. Devin Singletary stemied by Minnesota

1732
01:24:01,360 --> 01:24:04,040
Speaker 1: and the opener, and the Commander's run defense actually pretty

1733
01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:06,439
Speaker 1: good last week. Finished his Pro Football Focuses number four

1734
01:24:06,479 --> 01:24:09,120
Speaker 1: ranked run defense, the ranked fifth in ESPN's run stuff

1735
01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:11,840
Speaker 1: win rate. Washington give up, did give up a thirty

1736
01:24:11,880 --> 01:24:14,320
Speaker 1: one yard run to Bucky Irving, but otherwise held the

1737
01:24:14,320 --> 01:24:17,639
Speaker 1: Bucks to two point seven yards per carry. The good

1738
01:24:17,640 --> 01:24:20,559
Speaker 1: news for Singletary, no other runner on the Giants got

1739
01:24:20,600 --> 01:24:24,280
Speaker 1: more than two carries, and the Commander's pass defense so

1740
01:24:24,520 --> 01:24:26,639
Speaker 1: bad that I think Giants could be near the goal

1741
01:24:26,680 --> 01:24:28,920
Speaker 1: line a few times and Singletary would be your goal

1742
01:24:28,960 --> 01:24:31,280
Speaker 1: line back. So let's hope for a touchdown for him.

1743
01:24:31,280 --> 01:24:34,839
Speaker 1: In a C grade for Devin Singletary, we will not grade.

1744
01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:37,120
Speaker 1: We will not dignify Daniel Jones with a grade.

1745
01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:39,840
Speaker 2: I'm starting him in a yetine league. No, well, I

1746
01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:45,759
Speaker 2: mean so, cousins, Daniel Jones Malik Willis or Bryce Young.

1747
01:24:46,040 --> 01:24:47,759
Speaker 2: It's got to be Daniel Jones right.

1748
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:51,759
Speaker 3: Charge Mike Sandristill's QB rating against last week one thirty

1749
01:24:51,800 --> 01:24:52,400
Speaker 3: one point three.

1750
01:24:52,520 --> 01:24:55,599
Speaker 1: Wow, there we go, Wandale Robinson. I'm telling you there's

1751
01:24:55,640 --> 01:24:57,000
Speaker 1: there's something. There's something to that.

1752
01:24:57,040 --> 01:24:59,840
Speaker 2: Angry Jones has got to be got to get it.

1753
01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:03,320
Speaker 2: Take on Neighbors is going to break out. You like Robinson,

1754
01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:07,120
Speaker 2: It's an awful defense. He can run, he'll he'll fall down,

1755
01:25:07,439 --> 01:25:09,040
Speaker 2: He'll fall down after fifty yards.

1756
01:25:09,080 --> 01:25:12,799
Speaker 1: But uh, Jones, And I'll say this, take yeah, maybe,

1757
01:25:12,800 --> 01:25:15,080
Speaker 1: so you're talking me into it, into a C grade.

1758
01:25:15,160 --> 01:25:18,000
Speaker 1: And I will say this, Even off the ACL his

1759
01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:20,640
Speaker 1: mobility actually looked pretty good. But he's not going to

1760
01:25:20,680 --> 01:25:23,040
Speaker 1: get the drawn up design runs that he used to

1761
01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:25,160
Speaker 1: and that's the problem at all. I'll be scrambling stuff

1762
01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:27,680
Speaker 1: for Daniel Jones. Let's go to Washington side of this

1763
01:25:27,760 --> 01:25:31,960
Speaker 1: ball this game. Let's start with Jaden Daniels. So last week,

1764
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:36,040
Speaker 1: depending your scoring system, roughly QB three without throwing a

1765
01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:41,519
Speaker 1: touchdown pass. Yeah yeah, thanks to fifteen designed runs. I

1766
01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:44,400
Speaker 1: worry about his passing in this game because of one element.

1767
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:47,960
Speaker 1: The Giants pass rush should be awesome. You've got Dexter

1768
01:25:48,040 --> 01:25:51,080
Speaker 1: Lawrence and Brian Burns, cave on Thibodeau and the Commander's

1769
01:25:51,120 --> 01:25:54,040
Speaker 1: offensive line was just garbage last year. They didn't seem

1770
01:25:54,120 --> 01:25:56,519
Speaker 1: much better last Sunday. They ranked twenty fourth and pass

1771
01:25:56,560 --> 01:25:59,799
Speaker 1: block win rate. So I've got some trepidation about Daniels

1772
01:26:00,160 --> 01:26:02,080
Speaker 1: as a passer. I think he's gonna have to make

1773
01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:04,120
Speaker 1: some fast decisions with the ball in his hand.

1774
01:26:04,240 --> 01:26:06,639
Speaker 3: Giants had the third highest pressure rate last week.

1775
01:26:06,560 --> 01:26:09,880
Speaker 1: Yep, and they were good. So last week it was

1776
01:26:09,920 --> 01:26:13,080
Speaker 1: all short dump off stuff from Daniels that doesn't add

1777
01:26:13,160 --> 01:26:14,599
Speaker 1: up to a lot of fantasy points. And he's got

1778
01:26:14,600 --> 01:26:16,160
Speaker 1: the big arm, but they didn't use it. I don't

1779
01:26:16,160 --> 01:26:17,960
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be unfurled here either.

1780
01:26:18,120 --> 01:26:20,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, he missed McLaurin wide open a couple of times

1781
01:26:20,760 --> 01:26:24,120
Speaker 2: where he's just he's tucking the ball and running yep,

1782
01:26:24,120 --> 01:26:25,599
Speaker 2: too quick. Now not do that.

1783
01:26:25,680 --> 01:26:27,600
Speaker 1: We'll take the designed runs. Yeah, that leaves him as

1784
01:26:27,640 --> 01:26:29,280
Speaker 1: a B grade here, but I don't think he's gonna

1785
01:26:29,320 --> 01:26:31,680
Speaker 1: chip in much through the air. And so I think

1786
01:26:31,720 --> 01:26:33,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of repeat from last year

1787
01:26:33,240 --> 01:26:35,599
Speaker 1: for our last week from Jaden Daniels. So let's talk

1788
01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:39,559
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin worried about the dump off passes, the short stuff,

1789
01:26:39,720 --> 01:26:45,840
Speaker 1: the deep accuracy. Fortunately, the Giants' cornerbacks are awful. They

1790
01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:48,639
Speaker 1: got murdered by the Vikings. They combined to allow eight

1791
01:26:48,720 --> 01:26:51,040
Speaker 1: of ten passes to be completed on them, and Sam

1792
01:26:51,120 --> 01:26:56,000
Speaker 1: Darnold dissected this secondary. So I'm still giving Terry McLaurin

1793
01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:59,439
Speaker 1: a B grade just on I think volume in this game,

1794
01:26:59,479 --> 01:27:01,519
Speaker 1: and there's not a lot of other good pass catching

1795
01:27:01,520 --> 01:27:05,280
Speaker 1: options for this one. Let's talk Brian Robinson. I thought

1796
01:27:05,320 --> 01:27:09,320
Speaker 1: he just looked fair in this new Kiff Cliff Kingsbury offense.

1797
01:27:09,479 --> 01:27:12,479
Speaker 1: Not great. He got a goal line run to salvage

1798
01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:16,040
Speaker 1: and otherwise mundane box score. Last week, his quarterback siphoned

1799
01:27:16,040 --> 01:27:19,400
Speaker 1: off the fifteen carries I mentioned before, four more than Robinson,

1800
01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:22,080
Speaker 1: and the Giants got hit hard by Aaron Jones. In

1801
01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:24,960
Speaker 1: Week one, Robinson could find an easier sledding against a

1802
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:27,200
Speaker 1: bad run defense, so I still got a startable grade

1803
01:27:27,240 --> 01:27:30,439
Speaker 1: of SEA on him. Loved Austin Eckler talk to you

1804
01:27:30,479 --> 01:27:32,120
Speaker 1: a lot about in the offseason. I thought he'd be

1805
01:27:32,240 --> 01:27:34,759
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna chip in enough PPR help to be startable

1806
01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:38,559
Speaker 1: for most of you. He's the clear passing down runner

1807
01:27:38,640 --> 01:27:42,160
Speaker 1: for Washington, well utilized in the first game, running seventeen

1808
01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:44,640
Speaker 1: routes and going four for four on his targets.

1809
01:27:44,280 --> 01:27:46,920
Speaker 3: Eight of those worldwide. Like, yeah, how about that?

1810
01:27:47,360 --> 01:27:50,960
Speaker 1: I love famous, super cool. Last week, Aaron Jones caught

1811
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:54,160
Speaker 1: both of his targets against the Giants. Last year, Giants

1812
01:27:54,160 --> 01:27:57,679
Speaker 1: allowed the fewest running back receptions for the fourth fewest yards.

1813
01:27:57,720 --> 01:27:59,360
Speaker 1: Though we don't know if that's going to hold up

1814
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:01,880
Speaker 1: this year, but I'll know that. And then zach Ertz.

1815
01:28:01,960 --> 01:28:04,599
Speaker 1: We had talked about him being a sneaky starter going

1816
01:28:04,640 --> 01:28:08,839
Speaker 1: into this season. Ben Sennett. Ben Sennett got one play,

1817
01:28:09,240 --> 01:28:11,320
Speaker 1: that's it. It was all zach Ertz. He got nearly

1818
01:28:11,360 --> 01:28:13,559
Speaker 1: all the work at the tight end position. And for

1819
01:28:13,720 --> 01:28:16,800
Speaker 1: what it's worth, last year in these two matchups, Logan

1820
01:28:16,880 --> 01:28:19,000
Speaker 1: Thomas top fifty yards in both meetings. So I think

1821
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:20,840
Speaker 1: you can still start zach Ertz if you need to.

1822
01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:26,760
Speaker 1: He clocks in with a C grade. All right, let's uh.

1823
01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:29,120
Speaker 1: I want to talk about a couple other items from

1824
01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:31,240
Speaker 1: around the league. As we got just a well, we

1825
01:28:31,360 --> 01:28:33,240
Speaker 1: got thirty s I got about I only have about

1826
01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:36,040
Speaker 1: thirty seconds, so rap fire ago necessarily dig into this.

1827
01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:40,479
Speaker 1: Are there any are there is there? Could you flat

1828
01:28:40,479 --> 01:28:46,800
Speaker 1: out drop every Panther excepting Deontay Johnson? Yes, drop, I

1829
01:28:46,840 --> 01:28:49,960
Speaker 1: think might be interesting down the line too, Xavier yet Yeah,

1830
01:28:50,120 --> 01:28:52,000
Speaker 1: but with Brooks coming back in four weeks.

1831
01:28:52,040 --> 01:28:54,600
Speaker 2: But with Brooks they're going to be so bad. What

1832
01:28:54,760 --> 01:28:57,639
Speaker 2: is the point of risking reinjured? Like, don't play him,

1833
01:28:57,640 --> 01:29:00,839
Speaker 2: but they're not gonna bell Cowum late in the season. Yeah,

1834
01:29:01,400 --> 01:29:02,000
Speaker 2: drop James.

1835
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:05,519
Speaker 1: Would you drop Brooks out right? Jonathan Brooks them?

1836
