<v Speaker 1>now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly.

0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:14.720
<v Speaker 2>Source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice.

0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Now along with the guys.

0:00:17.040 --> 0:00:19.480
<v Speaker 2>From Guillotine Leagues dot com.

0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Here's your host, Paul Jarge. It's a week two edition

0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:30.280
<v Speaker 1>of Fantasy Football Weekly. So many questions answered, finally after

0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:33.519
<v Speaker 1>Week one. We've been speculating for six months about what

0:00:33.600 --> 0:00:34.760
<v Speaker 1>might happen in Week one.

0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 2>Now we know.

0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:39.520
<v Speaker 1>My co hosts today, Scott Fish and Brian Johnson back

0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:40.239
<v Speaker 1>in studio.

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:42.400
<v Speaker 2>What's up boys? You know I have to fly in

0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:46.400
<v Speaker 2>for Sam Darnold's home debut. Yeah. Absolutely, I'm looking around

0:00:46.440 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 2>the studio for my tickets, though, why you gotta go

0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:53.559
<v Speaker 2>get some? I could have sworn Sam himself would have

0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:56.920
<v Speaker 2>sent me some. By now I'm really been supportive and

0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:59.000
<v Speaker 2>there's more to come in this episode, by the way,

0:00:59.000 --> 0:00:59.760
<v Speaker 2>but happy to be here.

0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:02.400
<v Speaker 1>We'll learn more about Sam Darnold and talk more about

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 1>him later in the show. We're gonna break down all

0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:07.800
<v Speaker 1>fifteen of the games we left on the slate. We're

0:01:07.840 --> 0:01:10.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna go through Take a chance with me like always? Well,

0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 1>answer three tough questions and we'll give you some premature speculation.

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:16.920
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot to get to over the course of

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:19.440
<v Speaker 1>the show, and guys, with fifteen games, we got to

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 1>jump right into it to it beginning with Scott Fish. Yeah,

0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Chargers taking on the Panthers. JK. Dobbins a bit of

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:29.560
<v Speaker 1>a revel Lakes in week one. Feels like the good

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 1>times are gonna keep coming against the Panthers.

0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:33.839
<v Speaker 3>It feels like it. I almost gave him an A grade.

0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:35.639
<v Speaker 3>I gave him a B grade, but I can easily

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 3>see it being in A grade. I think part of

0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:40.120
<v Speaker 3>me worries that Gus Edwards is gonna take twelve carries again,

0:01:40.200 --> 0:01:43.840
<v Speaker 3>even though he was looking not productive. He looked completely done.

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:47.080
<v Speaker 3>Eighteen percent success rate on that two point three yards

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 3>per touch and Gus Edwards no touches inside the ten.

0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 3>So I got Gus on the bench. Gave a B

0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:56.320
<v Speaker 3>to JK. Dobbins, who, uh, thirteen point five yards per touch.

0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:58.680
<v Speaker 3>That's not gonna happen again. And he was caught down

0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:01.520
<v Speaker 3>from behind, much like briese All was coming off freest

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:02.920
<v Speaker 3>Hall's injury a couple of years ago.

0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Now he was caught from behind on that long run

0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:07.480
<v Speaker 1>but I'll note, Yeah, he got clocked at twenty miles

0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 1>an hour yeap, which I did not think. JK. Dobbins

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:11.519
<v Speaker 1>had just ran out of gas.

0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:14.000
<v Speaker 3>The eyeball say that the camp pipe and the steady

0:02:14.040 --> 0:02:16.640
<v Speaker 3>offseason drum beat was real, and Carolina just gave up

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:18.920
<v Speaker 3>one hundred and seventy two total yards and two scores

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:22.600
<v Speaker 3>to Kamara and Jamal Williams. So great.

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:26.639
<v Speaker 1>Somebody had mentioned Jamal Williams. Yeah, that's a potential take

0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 1>a chance.

0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:28.760
<v Speaker 3>On me playing. Yeah, yeah, good job on that.

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh sorry, I had JK. Dobbins as my take a

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:35.079
<v Speaker 1>chance on me player. Okay, I think Mistermal Williams my premature.

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.720
<v Speaker 3>I don't know anyway, just just keep pickocking and ex

0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:40.040
<v Speaker 3>put that on loop for the rest of the show.

0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:43.320
<v Speaker 3>Justin Herbert, I'm giving a C grade too, and I

0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 3>could barely give him that because I feel like they

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:48.399
<v Speaker 3>get ahead of Carolina and Harbaugh's just going to run

0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:52.000
<v Speaker 3>the game out. Justin Herbert, last week the second lowest

0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:55.080
<v Speaker 3>passing yards and second lowest pass attempts of his career

0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 3>when playing a full game. That is the Jim Harbaugh effect.

0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:00.959
<v Speaker 3>I'm a little worried too, but Carola just gave three

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:04.600
<v Speaker 3>scores to car The Saints changed dough season went pre

0:03:04.680 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 3>snap motion a ton, so maybe that was part of it.

0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:11.320
<v Speaker 3>But last week the Panthers had the lowest pressure rate

0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 3>in the NFL, so they're not going to even get

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.240
<v Speaker 3>to get to Herbert. So he's going to be able

0:03:15.240 --> 0:03:17.120
<v Speaker 3>there to be to pick him apart at the times

0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 3>he does throw. Given a C grade to Ladd McConkie,

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.919
<v Speaker 3>who seems to be the number one wide receiver there

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:25.120
<v Speaker 3>for the Chargers.

0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Well, it helps the Charks out and Palmer's hurt.

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:30.959
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yes, Palmer's hurt might not play well. We'll see

0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.200
<v Speaker 3>if he goes. If he doesn't, Brendan Rice will come in.

0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:36.680
<v Speaker 3>But I got them on the bench. Quentin Johnson, despite

0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:41.279
<v Speaker 3>the five targets and a really high first read target percentage,

0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:43.120
<v Speaker 3>I have him on the bench. I just can't trust

0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.120
<v Speaker 3>him yet. I know that he's got the large A dot,

0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:47.640
<v Speaker 3>but Ladd McConkie seems to be the volume guy that

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:52.280
<v Speaker 3>he's going to go to. None of McConkie's targets went

0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 3>twenty plus air yards though, so it's a lot of

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 3>short stuff. But in PPR you're liking the reception, so

0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:00.880
<v Speaker 3>c grade on McConkie, hayden Hurst not volume to really

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:03.320
<v Speaker 3>do anything with there, so he's still on the bench.

0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Are there any Panthers to start Scott.

0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:09.840
<v Speaker 3>No, there's not. I don't have a single one. Miles

0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 3>Sanders and Chuba Hubbard are splitting. It was eleven touches

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:16.240
<v Speaker 3>to ten. You know, Hubbard did more snaps, but he

0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:20.000
<v Speaker 3>didn't even get a target, so they're splitting too much.

0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:24.280
<v Speaker 3>The offense. I mean, Bryce Young completed under half his passes.

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:28.440
<v Speaker 3>It was all spread around and Xavier Legette look decent.

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:30.320
<v Speaker 3>It might be something to keep an eye on there,

0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:32.960
<v Speaker 3>but he just ran twenty three routes fifty nine percent

0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:34.720
<v Speaker 3>of the snaps. But he led the team in targets,

0:04:34.720 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 3>so he was barely on the field, but he got

0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:39.359
<v Speaker 3>a bunch of targets. Deanty Johnson is the one people

0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:43.120
<v Speaker 3>are probably most interested in, but he was second in targets,

0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:44.920
<v Speaker 3>but he only got two of them, and the aid

0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:46.839
<v Speaker 3>out was really low. You need a lot of volume

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:48.120
<v Speaker 3>if you have an eight out that low, and he

0:04:48.240 --> 0:04:50.279
<v Speaker 3>just wasn't getting it. So I got him all on

0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:50.679
<v Speaker 3>the bench.

0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't blame him. Saints take on the Cowboys. Brian

0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:58.160
<v Speaker 1>Obviously a massive delta between last week's opponent the Panthers

0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 1>this week's defense the Cowboys. Mike Zimmer's defense looked awesome

0:05:03.440 --> 0:05:08.359
<v Speaker 1>last week. So which Saints do you dare start in

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:09.320
<v Speaker 1>a much tougher game?

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.159
<v Speaker 2>Got a few worth starting, but like you said, definitely

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:15.039
<v Speaker 2>a tougher matchup in the Cowboys than they saw in

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.600
<v Speaker 2>the Panthers last week. Starting with the Alvin Kamara gonna

0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:19.400
<v Speaker 2>give him a bee. We saw a vintage Kamara in

0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.119
<v Speaker 2>Week one, but again, Cowboys will be a much tougher

0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:25.119
<v Speaker 2>test than the poorest Panthers were. That said, Jerome Ford

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:28.000
<v Speaker 2>touched the ball twenty plus times against the Cowboys last week.

0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:30.960
<v Speaker 2>Kamara should do the same volume wise, So seems like

0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:32.680
<v Speaker 2>a safe bea to me here, always active in the

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.000
<v Speaker 2>passing game. Going to start him with confidence while you

0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 2>can while he's healthy early in the season. Chris o'lave

0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:41.279
<v Speaker 2>can give him a ce. He was not startable in

0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.799
<v Speaker 2>Week one, only saw two targets that was not his fault.

0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:45.960
<v Speaker 2>The game script fell out of his favor pretty quick.

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.839
<v Speaker 2>He was a lost Sunday for him. It could be

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:51.280
<v Speaker 2>the case this week against the Cowboys, but for very

0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:54.200
<v Speaker 2>different reasons. The Cowboys gave up the second fewest wide

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:58.920
<v Speaker 2>receiver touchdowns last year with eleven. Only two wideouts were

0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.479
<v Speaker 2>able to reach one hundred undred yards against Dallas all

0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.880
<v Speaker 2>season last year. I was borderlininging a bench olave. But

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.120
<v Speaker 2>a guy you took in the second round, I think

0:06:07.120 --> 0:06:09.080
<v Speaker 2>he got to roll him out there, and the Saints

0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:14.480
<v Speaker 2>will be chasing points presumably presumably the other way exactly,

0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:17.679
<v Speaker 2>And for that reason, I'm sticking sticking with Rashid Shiheed

0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:19.600
<v Speaker 2>with the starting grade. As the see had a big

0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:21.640
<v Speaker 2>game last week, he got, he got the party started

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:24.159
<v Speaker 2>for the Staints again. A bad much worse matchup this

0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:27.200
<v Speaker 2>week against the Cowboys, But the Saints will need to

0:06:27.200 --> 0:06:29.240
<v Speaker 2>pass in this game, and they will take shots downfield

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:32.520
<v Speaker 2>with the Shiheed, so he gets the soft sea. Juwan

0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:37.320
<v Speaker 2>Johnson Foster Moreau that tight end both scored last week,

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:39.839
<v Speaker 2>but both are on the bench this week. The Cowboys

0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.599
<v Speaker 2>allowed the fewest receptions to tight ends last year, and

0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:46.239
<v Speaker 2>there's clearly a rotation going on that also includes Taysom

0:06:46.320 --> 0:06:49.240
<v Speaker 2>Hill kind of, but I always give Taysom Hill a

0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:50.920
<v Speaker 2>bench grade. You can start him at your own risk,

0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:53.000
<v Speaker 2>but you cannot predict what Taysom Hill is going to do.

0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:56.080
<v Speaker 2>He's a DFS flyer in my mind, and Derek Carr

0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:59.760
<v Speaker 2>solid game against the Panthers, but he's not playing the

0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:03.200
<v Speaker 2>pay Yeah he was. Probably he's the top three quarterback

0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:05.960
<v Speaker 2>last week. Probably not gonna happen this week against Dallas.

0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.640
<v Speaker 2>I got him on the bench. There are better options

0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:11.480
<v Speaker 2>out there over to the Cowboys side, starting with Ezekiel

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:14.160
<v Speaker 2>Elliott and Rico Dowdell. I have both on the bench

0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:16.520
<v Speaker 2>in this game. Here are the rush attempts for each

0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 2>last week. Zeke had nine, Dowdell had eight. Z had

0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:24.480
<v Speaker 2>two targets. Dowdell had two targets. Something called hunter loop

0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:28.960
<v Speaker 2>Key was also targeted twice. And opposing running backs scored

0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:33.560
<v Speaker 2>against the Saints only nine times last year. So bad

0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:35.680
<v Speaker 2>matchup for Zeke and Dowdell. They are bench.

0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:37.600
<v Speaker 1>It's the edge though, because of the goal line case. Yes,

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 1>I would give see if I had to pick.

0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.440
<v Speaker 2>One, if you had to pick one, but I'm going

0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:45.679
<v Speaker 2>elsewhere if I can Ceedee Lamb automatic a not getting

0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.600
<v Speaker 2>into that regardless of opponent. Brandon Cook's gonna give him

0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:52.000
<v Speaker 2>a c. Jalen Tolbert was to be stealing targets from

0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:53.920
<v Speaker 2>Brandon Cooks this year. That has not been the case

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:57.800
<v Speaker 2>so far. Cook saw seven targets to Tolbert's one in

0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:00.000
<v Speaker 2>the opener, So Tolbert is on the bench, Cooks gets

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.880
<v Speaker 2>to see and uh, this is the og revenge game

0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:06.360
<v Speaker 2>for Brandon Cooks against his first original team. Brandon Cooks

0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:09.800
<v Speaker 2>qualifies for like four revenge games at this point. I'm

0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:14.000
<v Speaker 2>not there, but this is the most important one. And lastly,

0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:16.679
<v Speaker 2>for the pass catchers, Jake Ferguson looked like he suffered

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.680
<v Speaker 2>a season ending knee injury last week, but he has

0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:22.160
<v Speaker 2>not been ruled out as of the recording of this show.

0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:24.920
<v Speaker 2>But even if he plays, I can't trust him to finish.

0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna I'm gonna bench out. Yes, you need to.

0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:29.920
<v Speaker 2>You need to plan for a backup plan for Jake Ferguson.

0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:34.040
<v Speaker 2>And lastly, Dak Prescott just to see here, another tough

0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:36.960
<v Speaker 2>matchup for Dak. The Saints allowed the tenth lowest yards

0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:40.000
<v Speaker 2>per attempt and the ninth fewest fantasy points per game

0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:42.800
<v Speaker 2>to quarterbacks last year, but Dak tough to bench gets

0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:43.240
<v Speaker 2>to see.

0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:45.319
<v Speaker 1>All right, Let's move over to Raiders taking on the

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:49.160
<v Speaker 1>Ravens and the disappointing start for Zamir White. Yeah, expected

0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:52.400
<v Speaker 1>more carries. Alexander Madison very involved in the passing game,

0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:54.959
<v Speaker 1>is the third down back. But here's here's why I've

0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:56.880
<v Speaker 1>still got to see great on Zimir White. The Ravens

0:08:56.920 --> 0:08:58.840
<v Speaker 1>have a great pass defense. We'll talk about a little

0:08:58.840 --> 0:09:01.560
<v Speaker 1>bit more. They finished the Pro Football Focuses Number two

0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:04.200
<v Speaker 1>coverage defense last year, and then last week, despite playing

0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Mahomes, they finished as Pro Football Focuses Number three

0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:11.560
<v Speaker 1>pass defense. The path of least resistance for the Raiders

0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.240
<v Speaker 1>is on the ground, and Antonio Pierce is gonna run

0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:16.520
<v Speaker 1>the ball a lot in this game. I'm convinced of it.

0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:20.280
<v Speaker 1>Last week, Pierce got away from running the ball and

0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:24.880
<v Speaker 1>he lost. Through one game, Baltimore ranks thirtieth in run

0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:29.400
<v Speaker 1>stuff win rate. I'm just convinced Pierce is gonna go

0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:31.800
<v Speaker 1>back to being who he is and he's gonna run

0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 1>the ball.

0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:35.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they got they got like three defensive players out too,

0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:38.200
<v Speaker 3>like vet NEI might not play. Then one of their

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:39.559
<v Speaker 3>pass rushers might not play too.

0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:42.080
<v Speaker 1>So let's I'm not giving up on Zamir Wait. I'm

0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:44.680
<v Speaker 1>giving another start here. Let's go to the passing game, well, well,

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.400
<v Speaker 1>stay with the running game for a second. Madison. I'm

0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:49.400
<v Speaker 1>not gonna chase last week's box score, but let's not.

0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Madison has emerged as the third down back. Is on

0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:55.800
<v Speaker 1>the field for all ten of the Raiders plays at

0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:59.959
<v Speaker 1>long down and distant situations last week. So I didn't

0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:04.240
<v Speaker 1>see this coming for Alexander Madison, but that's what we

0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:06.280
<v Speaker 1>have through one game. That's not enough usage for him

0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:09.640
<v Speaker 1>to start against a good Ravens pass defense. Speaking of

0:10:09.640 --> 0:10:12.200
<v Speaker 1>the good Ravens pass defense, Devonte Adams a rare B

0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:15.199
<v Speaker 1>grade to the level of difficulty in a matchup against

0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:19.880
<v Speaker 1>those excellent secondary they've got in Baltimore, Marlon Humphrey, Kyle

0:10:19.960 --> 0:10:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Hamilton's awesome and then first round rookie Nate Wiggins in

0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:28.000
<v Speaker 1>his first start last week against Patrick Mahomes gave up

0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:32.319
<v Speaker 1>one catch in his coverage. That's it. So I do

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:35.680
<v Speaker 1>not love DeVante Adams here. How about Brock Bauers. I

0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:37.880
<v Speaker 1>love the playing time from week one. He ran thirty

0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:41.760
<v Speaker 1>one routes, saw whopping seven targets, he caught six of those,

0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:45.640
<v Speaker 1>and to really nobody's surprise, Bowers looks legit. Ravens gave

0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:48.600
<v Speaker 1>up seventy one yards to Noah Gray and Travis Kelcey

0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:50.680
<v Speaker 1>last week. So we're gonna keep a starting great on

0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:54.480
<v Speaker 1>Bowers with a C grade Jacoby Myers, who this show

0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:55.680
<v Speaker 1>loves Jacoby Myers.

0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:56.760
<v Speaker 3>Yep, yeah we do.

0:10:57.600 --> 0:11:00.120
<v Speaker 1>But I don't love this matchup. He lines up a

0:11:00.120 --> 0:11:02.000
<v Speaker 1>little more than half of the time in the slot,

0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:06.480
<v Speaker 1>which should line him up primarily against star hybrid safety

0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Kyle Hamilton, who I mentioned before. Last week. Weirdly, Hamilton

0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:13.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't line up in the slot very much despite the

0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.079
<v Speaker 1>fact that Rashid Rice was eating up that defense. I

0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:18.840
<v Speaker 1>wonder if they don't shift Hamilton more into the slot

0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:22.240
<v Speaker 1>for this one to try to defend Myers. But still,

0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:24.520
<v Speaker 1>I kind of like him, and he's a good player.

0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:25.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm keeping a SE grade on him.

0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:27.880
<v Speaker 3>Can I start a position that you now call him

0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:31.679
<v Speaker 3>should have been a Viking? Kyle Hamilton, Just stop tearing

0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:32.600
<v Speaker 3>my heart out with that.

0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.120
<v Speaker 1>And so that leaves us with Gardner Minshew clocks into

0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:38.120
<v Speaker 1>the SEA grade. I've got b's, I've got a B

0:11:38.280 --> 0:11:41.480
<v Speaker 1>in two C grades. Gardner Minshew look capable last week,

0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:44.160
<v Speaker 1>not special. He probably finishes at a similar box score

0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:45.880
<v Speaker 1>like two hundred and forty yards and a touchdown C

0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:48.760
<v Speaker 1>grade for him to go to the Baltimore side. Lamar

0:11:48.840 --> 0:11:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Jackson obviously a grade. We're not going to spend time

0:11:51.400 --> 0:11:54.240
<v Speaker 1>on him. The real question in this passing game what

0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:56.800
<v Speaker 1>to do with your tight ends? Yes, I'm going a

0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:59.560
<v Speaker 1>grade and Isaiah Likely. Okay, we've loved him for four years.

0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:01.880
<v Speaker 1>We loved him in the preseason of his rookie year.

0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.280
<v Speaker 1>He was the highest scoring tight end in Week one.

0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 1>He looks like a focal point for the Ravens offense.

0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:11.600
<v Speaker 1>He dominated Mark Andrews last Thursday, walked away with an

0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:15.040
<v Speaker 1>amazing nine point nine out of ten utilization score by

0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Dwayne McFarlane. He got thirty four percent of the team's targets,

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.760
<v Speaker 1>forty percent of the air yards, and posted a nine

0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:25.800
<v Speaker 1>point four a dot, which is awfully impressive. I don't

0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:28.200
<v Speaker 1>know why you wouldn't go back to Likely.

0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:34.080
<v Speaker 2>So I'm and a second touchdown missed by a literal toe. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:34.760
<v Speaker 2>he's legit.

0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.320
<v Speaker 1>So what to do with Mark Andrews? Then I'm not

0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:39.360
<v Speaker 1>benching him. No, I'm going to keep him as a

0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:42.560
<v Speaker 1>C grade here because I think he's too good a

0:12:42.559 --> 0:12:43.320
<v Speaker 1>player and.

0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:45.280
<v Speaker 3>The Chiefs have always done that to Mark Andrews.

0:12:45.280 --> 0:12:47.640
<v Speaker 1>That's a good point too. They bracketed him constantly. I

0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:49.120
<v Speaker 1>saw a break down of a bunch of clips and

0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:49.560
<v Speaker 1>they were.

0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:53.000
<v Speaker 3>Just they double covered. He got double covered the highest

0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:55.120
<v Speaker 3>percentage of his plays in the last three years in

0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:56.520
<v Speaker 3>that game. Oh wait, yep, oh.

0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:59.800
<v Speaker 1>That's great data. So you know, we know Mark anderws

0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:02.080
<v Speaker 1>is but he's you know, rare times that he's healthy.

0:13:02.160 --> 0:13:04.360
<v Speaker 1>I just I'm not I'm not gonna bench him here.

0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:08.440
<v Speaker 1>The Raiders are not going to, I think, do that

0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:11.120
<v Speaker 1>same kind of bracket coverage and just leave Isaiah likely

0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:12.760
<v Speaker 1>to run free. So I think you'll see a lot

0:13:12.840 --> 0:13:16.800
<v Speaker 1>less coverage. See grad and Mark Andrews, Zay Flowers. I

0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:19.640
<v Speaker 1>love that he got eight targets in the opener, but

0:13:19.800 --> 0:13:22.560
<v Speaker 1>I need him to be farther than four yards downfield.

0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:25.920
<v Speaker 1>It's hard to accumulate fantasy points like you were just saying,

0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Scott at four yards a clip. Tricky matchup against Las

0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.480
<v Speaker 1>Vegas's corners Nate Hobbs and Jack Jones, who combined to

0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:35.640
<v Speaker 1>allow fourteen yards in their coverage in Week one. Raider

0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:40.360
<v Speaker 1>secondary is sneaky competent, and then Rashod Bateman. I've got

0:13:40.400 --> 0:13:42.560
<v Speaker 1>on the bench. It's a tricky matchup. I liked that

0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:44.160
<v Speaker 1>he was on the field a lot and that they

0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.280
<v Speaker 1>targeted him deep. His aight out was like twenty eight

0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:49.000
<v Speaker 1>yards or those things. Yeah, jeez, but need I need

0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Rashod Bateman to have an easier matchup before throwing darts

0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:55.040
<v Speaker 1>on him. Then, lastly, Derrick Henry. Raven's offensive line looked

0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:59.800
<v Speaker 1>discombobulated last week, and Henry really he needs good blocking

0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:02.480
<v Speaker 1>to be effective. He needs lanes to run through. The

0:14:02.600 --> 0:14:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Raiders gave up two big plays at JK. Dobbins, but

0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:09.000
<v Speaker 1>otherwise actually looked very stout against the run. They dominated

0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Gus Edwards, and they finished with Pro Football focuses fifth

0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:15.840
<v Speaker 1>ranked run defense and ESPN's eighth best run stuff win rate.

0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.280
<v Speaker 1>So I'm only gonna be great on Derrick Henry here

0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:21.480
<v Speaker 1>until I see that Ravens offensive line looked a little

0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:25.240
<v Speaker 1>bit better than it did last week. When we come back,

0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:28.680
<v Speaker 1>take a chance on me nine players not normally in

0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:31.240
<v Speaker 1>your starting lineup. We'll give you some sneaky plays that

0:14:31.320 --> 0:15:18.600
<v Speaker 1>you can use for week number two. Back in moments,

0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:22.240
<v Speaker 1>take a chance on me nine players you would not

0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:26.240
<v Speaker 1>normally start, but this week for various reasons. All plausible

0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:28.600
<v Speaker 1>starters would begin at the quarterback position.

0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:31.360
<v Speaker 3>Scott Fish before we do. That song is really growing

0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:33.800
<v Speaker 3>on me. But I didn't realize that line is well,

0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:37.280
<v Speaker 3>thanks Robbie. That line is when you're with me, you

0:15:37.320 --> 0:15:41.000
<v Speaker 3>always smile or something like, it's really arrogant, arrogant.

0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:41.320
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:42.960
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't know about that.

0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:46.760
<v Speaker 3>All right, all right, at quarterback. I have Baker Mayfield

0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:49.160
<v Speaker 3>highest over under the week, playing the lines this week

0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:53.080
<v Speaker 3>at fifty two points, only sixty six percent roster twenty

0:15:53.120 --> 0:15:54.880
<v Speaker 3>six percent started. I think you need to get in

0:15:55.040 --> 0:15:56.880
<v Speaker 3>get him in there. Three hundred and forty nine yards

0:15:56.920 --> 0:16:00.640
<v Speaker 3>and three scores in their playoff matchup a year ago

0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:03.320
<v Speaker 3>or in the playoffs. I suppose that was earlier this

0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:08.920
<v Speaker 3>year in January. Four scores last week, and reports where

0:16:08.960 --> 0:16:11.360
<v Speaker 3>he was out of shape last year because the new baby,

0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:14.160
<v Speaker 3>it's clear he is back to being in fall shape.

0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:17.280
<v Speaker 3>And Matthew Stafford just tagged the Lions for three hundred yards.

0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:18.720
<v Speaker 3>So I think this is a good spot for Baker.

0:16:18.800 --> 0:16:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, for sure, Really like Baker, loved what we saw

0:16:20.920 --> 0:16:24.280
<v Speaker 1>in week one. Happy for his development as a pro too. Brian,

0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:25.640
<v Speaker 1>you're taking chance with me quarterback.

0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:29.200
<v Speaker 2>You know, I gotta go with Sam Donald. I've been

0:16:29.440 --> 0:16:31.360
<v Speaker 2>taken a chance on him since the spring. I know

0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:33.680
<v Speaker 2>it's not the best matchup in the forty nine ers,

0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:36.120
<v Speaker 2>but hey, the Vikings beat the forty nine ers at

0:16:36.120 --> 0:16:38.240
<v Speaker 2>home last year. And you know who was playing for

0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:41.680
<v Speaker 2>the forty nine ers last year, mister McCaffrey, Sam Donald,

0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:46.160
<v Speaker 2>Sam Donald, I think playing well, he was watching. He

0:16:46.320 --> 0:16:49.480
<v Speaker 2>was watching the defense a whole lot. You put it

0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:52.800
<v Speaker 2>that way, So still forty nine er a revenge game.

0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:54.760
<v Speaker 2>He's gonna prove the forty nine ers kept the wrong

0:16:54.840 --> 0:16:57.640
<v Speaker 2>quarterback too. Sorry brock Perty, but Sam Donald's a baller,

0:16:57.840 --> 0:16:59.800
<v Speaker 2>said it all summer. He can play and this is

0:16:59.840 --> 0:17:01.800
<v Speaker 2>for that's real chance in the NFL. Best wide receiver

0:17:01.840 --> 0:17:03.960
<v Speaker 2>in the world. No Jordan Nadison. That hurts, but hey,

0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:07.080
<v Speaker 2>the Jets quarterbacks combined for two passing touchdowns last week,

0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:10.440
<v Speaker 2>one being Tyrod Taylor. That's the safe floor for Sam Darnold. Baby,

0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:10.800
<v Speaker 2>let's go.

0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Justin Fields takes on Denver and really sad that we

0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:17.080
<v Speaker 1>don't get the Russell Wilson revenge game against the team

0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:20.600
<v Speaker 1>that tried to extort him last year and is now

0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:24.480
<v Speaker 1>currently paying Russell Wilson salary to go beat them. I

0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:27.040
<v Speaker 1>really wanted this to revenge that revenge game. But we'll

0:17:27.080 --> 0:17:31.000
<v Speaker 1>go with Justin Fields instead. Last week third most quarterback

0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:34.560
<v Speaker 1>rushes fourteen. But I think in addition to legs, I

0:17:34.560 --> 0:17:38.280
<v Speaker 1>think his arm chips and some help here. Fields played

0:17:38.400 --> 0:17:41.919
<v Speaker 1>the Broncos last year. I guess er happened to remember

0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:47.920
<v Speaker 1>what he did three hundred yards and four. I didn't

0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:50.480
<v Speaker 1>think Fields ever had a game that good through the air.

0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:54.240
<v Speaker 1>That's an amazing stat. Broncos ranked thirty second in coverage

0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:56.560
<v Speaker 1>last year by Pro Football Focus, and after one week

0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:58.639
<v Speaker 1>they ranked twenty second last week, and that was against

0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:01.560
<v Speaker 1>a Seahawks team that could bear field and offensive line.

0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Justin Fields might take a chance on me quarterback. Let's

0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:05.480
<v Speaker 1>go to the running back position, Scott.

0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:08.080
<v Speaker 3>So I did have Tank Bigsby, but then I thought

0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:10.920
<v Speaker 3>to myself, I can't do that to charge that stake Churches, guy,

0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:13.439
<v Speaker 3>I just gotta I gotta walk away from that. So

0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:15.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm picking Tank. But no, I'm just kidding. I'm vicking.

0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:18.440
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna go with Bucky Irving. In that same shootout,

0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:21.760
<v Speaker 3>the Tampa Bay Detroit shootout, he was much more effective

0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:23.720
<v Speaker 3>on the ground than White, but White was much more

0:18:23.760 --> 0:18:27.080
<v Speaker 3>effective through the air. Bucky Irving last week among running

0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:30.080
<v Speaker 3>backs was number one in explosive run rate six point

0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:34.040
<v Speaker 3>nine yards per carry. If he can get ten ten carries,

0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:36.840
<v Speaker 3>ten twelve carries in this what is likely to be

0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:39.359
<v Speaker 3>a very high scoring game, he can do something for you.

0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:41.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm with I thought. I thought the passed Bucky

0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Irving passed the eye test for sure.

0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:47.080
<v Speaker 3>My Son's sleeper from the preseason show, right, I love it?

0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:50.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Absolutely, Uh, Brian, you're taking chance at me?

0:18:50.200 --> 0:18:53.280
<v Speaker 2>Running back I got Denver is Julie McLoughlin against the

0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:56.280
<v Speaker 2>Steelers at home in Denver, I mean McGlaughlin at home.

0:18:56.359 --> 0:18:59.280
<v Speaker 2>McLoughlin was slightly outsnapp by Javonte Williams in Week one,

0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:01.280
<v Speaker 2>but he was the clear pass catching option as he

0:19:01.280 --> 0:19:04.800
<v Speaker 2>saw the second most targets among all Broncos. Rookie quarterback

0:19:04.840 --> 0:19:07.280
<v Speaker 2>Bo Nicks had an a dot of a measly five

0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:10.240
<v Speaker 2>point eight yards in his debut. That's balls seared right

0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:13.280
<v Speaker 2>into Juliel's wheelhouse. I like to call that the Jaleel house.

0:19:13.320 --> 0:19:15.200
<v Speaker 2>So Julila McLoughlin, let's go.

0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:19.119
<v Speaker 1>Tony Pollard takes on the Jets. The Jets pass defense

0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:22.520
<v Speaker 1>remains awesome. They bottled up Rock Purty. The path of

0:19:22.600 --> 0:19:25.160
<v Speaker 1>least resistance against the Jets is on the ground, and

0:19:25.200 --> 0:19:27.800
<v Speaker 1>we saw it on Monday night. And Lord knows, the

0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:30.359
<v Speaker 1>Titans do not want to rely and will Levis for

0:19:30.400 --> 0:19:32.480
<v Speaker 1>a win. If they want to win, they need to

0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:34.960
<v Speaker 1>be able to run the ball. Here, Pollard dominated the

0:19:35.000 --> 0:19:37.800
<v Speaker 1>snap counts and rushing attempts over Tajy Spears, which broke

0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:39.760
<v Speaker 1>my heart. But that's just the reality of it. And

0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:42.000
<v Speaker 1>then he chipped in four targets, which I did not

0:19:42.119 --> 0:19:45.000
<v Speaker 1>expect from Tony Pollard. He averaged five yards per carry

0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:47.600
<v Speaker 1>in the opener, and the Jets allowed Jordan Mason to

0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:50.240
<v Speaker 1>run for five yards per carry last week. We're gonna

0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:51.840
<v Speaker 1>get five yards per carry out of Pollard.

0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:51.919
<v Speaker 3>In this game.

0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:53.639
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna have a nice one, he would. Let's go

0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:55.200
<v Speaker 1>to the the receivers.

0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:59.440
<v Speaker 3>Sure, I'm going to the second highest scoring potential game

0:19:59.480 --> 0:20:01.719
<v Speaker 3>on the DOC with the second highest over under at

0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:06.000
<v Speaker 3>forty nine points. That's the Arizona Los Angeles Rams game,

0:20:06.040 --> 0:20:09.199
<v Speaker 3>where I'm going to one of my preseason sleepers. Michael Wilson,

0:20:09.240 --> 0:20:12.399
<v Speaker 3>who scored last week, ran around on ninety two percent

0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:16.440
<v Speaker 3>of their d dropbacks. He plays the Jamison Williams role,

0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:19.040
<v Speaker 3>and we know Jamison Williams just torched the same Rams

0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:21.440
<v Speaker 3>team last week.

0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Just a good spot for him, all right, you're receiver,

0:20:25.480 --> 0:20:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Brian I.

0:20:26.440 --> 0:20:29.520
<v Speaker 2>Got the Jets Allen Lazard at Tennessee. Lazard and Garrett

0:20:29.520 --> 0:20:32.360
<v Speaker 2>Wilson were the only wide receivers targeted in Week one

0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:35.440
<v Speaker 2>for the Jets. Lazard was targeted at healthy nine times,

0:20:36.359 --> 0:20:39.679
<v Speaker 2>nine times, one which went for a touchdown. The Bears

0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:42.960
<v Speaker 2>wideouts didn't do much, didn't do much against Tennessee last week,

0:20:43.000 --> 0:20:45.880
<v Speaker 2>but they were operating with a rookie quarterback in his debut.

0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Aaron Rodgers is as old as two rookies combined, and

0:20:49.800 --> 0:20:53.399
<v Speaker 2>he obviously has a strange obsession. He is, and he

0:20:53.440 --> 0:20:57.119
<v Speaker 2>has a strange obsession with shrooms, lizards and lizard's.

0:20:57.119 --> 0:20:59.399
<v Speaker 1>Blizards and blazards. How is it with all the animal

0:20:59.520 --> 0:21:02.440
<v Speaker 1>sounds we've got available to us?

0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:03.719
<v Speaker 2>What is a wizard?

0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:07.240
<v Speaker 1>What is a How do we have no aliblizard? I

0:21:07.440 --> 0:21:09.160
<v Speaker 1>guess probably because we don't know it sound a lizard?

0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:12.520
<v Speaker 2>I am the lizard King. I can do anything. Scott,

0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:12.720
<v Speaker 2>how do.

0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:13.880
<v Speaker 1>You like Jalen McMillan.

0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:17.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you know, I like him. I went off board

0:21:17.480 --> 0:21:18.359
<v Speaker 3>with him in the pre season.

0:21:18.480 --> 0:21:20.359
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you did, baby, and he got paid for a

0:21:20.359 --> 0:21:22.240
<v Speaker 1>touchdown in the first and by the way, could have

0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:23.280
<v Speaker 1>been two touchdowns.

0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:25.480
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and if you saw that, you know.

0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:28.439
<v Speaker 1>So, Tampa's got Mike Evans, They've got Chris Godwin, and

0:21:28.480 --> 0:21:32.199
<v Speaker 1>then they've got Jalen McMillan, who led the team in

0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:36.119
<v Speaker 1>snaps and rounds run at the wide receiver position in

0:21:36.240 --> 0:21:37.399
<v Speaker 1>his NFL debut.

0:21:38.240 --> 0:21:38.800
<v Speaker 3>Be a problem.

0:21:39.000 --> 0:21:41.399
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna be a problem, and maybe this week against

0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:45.160
<v Speaker 1>Detroit he's going to be frequently running against rookie cornerback

0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Terrrian Arnold for Detroit, who allowed eight catches in his

0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:53.119
<v Speaker 1>NFL debut last week. Jalen McMillan, I like him in

0:21:53.160 --> 0:21:56.200
<v Speaker 1>this spot. Let's work in a couple more matchups. Scott,

0:21:56.240 --> 0:21:59.480
<v Speaker 1>back to you. Brown's taking on the Jaguars. Deshaun Watson

0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:05.639
<v Speaker 1>looked awful, He looked disinterested. He I saw a player

0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:10.720
<v Speaker 1>who seemingly has lost the will to win.

0:22:12.440 --> 0:22:14.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, that's that's kind of the gist of it.

0:22:14.960 --> 0:22:17.399
<v Speaker 3>I have him on the bench. He got hit nineteen

0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:22.719
<v Speaker 3>times last week. Really, that's that's still eight less than

0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:28.399
<v Speaker 3>the lawsuits against him, but he's nineteen times savage. Only

0:22:28.520 --> 0:22:31.760
<v Speaker 3>seven times in NFL history has a QB passed for

0:22:31.920 --> 0:22:34.480
<v Speaker 3>less than one hundred and seventy yards on forty five

0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:37.480
<v Speaker 3>or more pass attempts, but somehow Deshaun witz Watson did

0:22:37.480 --> 0:22:41.320
<v Speaker 3>it last week. Also, both his tackles aren't practicing, so

0:22:41.760 --> 0:22:45.719
<v Speaker 3>he might see some more pressure this week because of that.

0:22:45.880 --> 0:22:48.439
<v Speaker 3>The only wide receiver I'm giving a starting grade too

0:22:48.520 --> 0:22:51.760
<v Speaker 3>is Amari Cooper, who might be in the squeaky greasy

0:22:51.800 --> 0:22:57.000
<v Speaker 3>mousey wheel type game, very frustrated during the game during plays,

0:22:57.040 --> 0:23:00.639
<v Speaker 3>and you know during the week eighteen point nine A

0:23:00.800 --> 0:23:02.720
<v Speaker 3>dot for Mari Cooper, so even if he gets some,

0:23:02.840 --> 0:23:05.680
<v Speaker 3>he doesn't need a lot to make a difference. Twenty

0:23:05.720 --> 0:23:08.199
<v Speaker 3>one percent target chair and he gets the best matchup

0:23:08.240 --> 0:23:10.720
<v Speaker 3>against Monterrek Brown, who gave up a one to twenty

0:23:10.760 --> 0:23:13.320
<v Speaker 3>one rating in his coverage last year one nineteen rating

0:23:13.359 --> 0:23:17.040
<v Speaker 3>in his coverage last week. So good spot for Mari Cooper.

0:23:17.040 --> 0:23:18.520
<v Speaker 3>But I'm only give him the seat because I can't

0:23:18.560 --> 0:23:21.760
<v Speaker 3>trust to Sean Watson in the rent in the running game.

0:23:21.800 --> 0:23:26.399
<v Speaker 3>It's only Jerome Ford's game. Really, Not only did he

0:23:26.520 --> 0:23:29.119
<v Speaker 3>keep Deonta Foreman, and Pierre Strong. Off the field, he

0:23:29.160 --> 0:23:31.320
<v Speaker 3>took all the past game work, as we kind of

0:23:31.359 --> 0:23:34.800
<v Speaker 3>expected before the season, but six of his seven targets

0:23:34.880 --> 0:23:38.520
<v Speaker 3>came after in Djoku got hurt and then Djoko is

0:23:38.720 --> 0:23:41.480
<v Speaker 3>likely to miss this one. So that's that's something worth

0:23:41.520 --> 0:23:45.520
<v Speaker 3>tracking there that I think I I thing might be

0:23:45.600 --> 0:23:48.640
<v Speaker 3>in play here again against Jacksonville as they're you know,

0:23:49.480 --> 0:23:52.840
<v Speaker 3>supposed to there. You know they're they're they're not the favorites.

0:23:52.880 --> 0:23:57.200
<v Speaker 3>Jacksonville is the favorite over the Jackson Jacksonville side. Trevor

0:23:57.280 --> 0:23:59.880
<v Speaker 3>Lawrence I have on the bench. It feels like Trevor's

0:24:00.000 --> 0:24:02.879
<v Speaker 3>really just spreading the ball around, so it's gonna be

0:24:02.960 --> 0:24:07.240
<v Speaker 3>tough for his receiving options as well. But he's going

0:24:07.320 --> 0:24:11.920
<v Speaker 3>up against last year's second best pass defense Cleveland spent

0:24:11.960 --> 0:24:14.840
<v Speaker 3>most of last year at the top against every position,

0:24:14.920 --> 0:24:16.919
<v Speaker 3>so you're gonna kind of get how this is going

0:24:17.000 --> 0:24:19.679
<v Speaker 3>to go. For most of the skill players here, I

0:24:19.720 --> 0:24:23.960
<v Speaker 3>have C grades on the only the only wide receiver

0:24:24.040 --> 0:24:26.040
<v Speaker 3>grade I have is Brian Thomas with a C grade.

0:24:26.080 --> 0:24:28.320
<v Speaker 3>He got one percent of the end zon targets and

0:24:28.359 --> 0:24:31.480
<v Speaker 3>one percent of the red zone targets, which was one

0:24:32.040 --> 0:24:37.240
<v Speaker 3>which but he caught it. He caught it, so they're

0:24:38.320 --> 0:24:39.879
<v Speaker 3>just an incredible pass by the way, I don't know

0:24:39.920 --> 0:24:41.600
<v Speaker 3>if you saw that pass, the Trevor Lawrence to Brian

0:24:41.600 --> 0:24:44.879
<v Speaker 3>Thomas pass. Wow, was that a pass recorded the third

0:24:44.960 --> 0:24:48.359
<v Speaker 3>highest speed with the ball at nineteen point eight. He

0:24:48.480 --> 0:24:51.720
<v Speaker 3>will get the tougher draw likely and Denzel Ward, who

0:24:51.720 --> 0:24:55.119
<v Speaker 3>will only allowed a forty nine QB against last week,

0:24:55.400 --> 0:24:59.639
<v Speaker 3>but it was a thirty four yards reception on five attempts.

0:25:00.080 --> 0:25:03.840
<v Speaker 3>But Ward stays almost exclusively on the left. Thomas bounces

0:25:03.880 --> 0:25:05.760
<v Speaker 3>around so he can avoid him for some of it.

0:25:06.560 --> 0:25:09.720
<v Speaker 3>UH C grade there for Etn and Bigsby. I have

0:25:09.800 --> 0:25:12.760
<v Speaker 3>him both with C grades. Etn got all the pass

0:25:12.840 --> 0:25:15.080
<v Speaker 3>game work, all the red zone work, and the score.

0:25:15.200 --> 0:25:18.680
<v Speaker 3>He more than doubled Bigsby's snaps. He had seventeen routes

0:25:18.760 --> 0:25:22.280
<v Speaker 3>run to Bigsby's four, But Bigsby just looked better when

0:25:22.359 --> 0:25:22.639
<v Speaker 3>run at.

0:25:23.600 --> 0:25:26.160
<v Speaker 1>If you know, if you took you, if you took

0:25:26.320 --> 0:25:29.240
<v Speaker 1>us and just asked us to look at Tank, Bigsby

0:25:29.359 --> 0:25:31.919
<v Speaker 1>and Travis Etn's play, and you took like the numbers

0:25:31.920 --> 0:25:36.080
<v Speaker 1>off the uniforms, you know who was who? Everybody? Anyone

0:25:36.160 --> 0:25:39.479
<v Speaker 1>would have said Tank Bigsby looked way better. He looked

0:25:39.560 --> 0:25:42.720
<v Speaker 1>fantastic and yep, yes, I'm.

0:25:43.080 --> 0:25:45.320
<v Speaker 3>It shows in the twelve for seventy one stat line.

0:25:45.400 --> 0:25:48.879
<v Speaker 3>He more yards per more yards before contact, more yards

0:25:48.920 --> 0:25:49.640
<v Speaker 3>after contact.

0:25:50.240 --> 0:25:50.359
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

0:25:50.600 --> 0:25:53.800
<v Speaker 3>The way they're playing them, it makes them both serviceable.

0:25:54.119 --> 0:25:57.240
<v Speaker 3>ETN played the first drive, Bigsby the second, ETN the third,

0:25:57.320 --> 0:26:01.120
<v Speaker 3>Bigsby the fourth. But ETN finished it and ETN Bigsby.

0:26:01.200 --> 0:26:04.720
<v Speaker 3>ETN Bigsby both than Bigsby. They are flipping back and forth.

0:26:04.960 --> 0:26:07.000
<v Speaker 3>So both have C grades for me in a matchup.

0:26:07.000 --> 0:26:09.119
<v Speaker 3>I think that they can. It's not a great matchup,

0:26:09.119 --> 0:26:10.520
<v Speaker 3>but they're both going to get enough work.

0:26:10.840 --> 0:26:15.560
<v Speaker 1>People might ask about watch ten got the goal line, Yeah,

0:26:15.840 --> 0:26:17.160
<v Speaker 1>you flip that right.

0:26:17.320 --> 0:26:19.120
<v Speaker 2>He also fumbled at the goal line too.

0:26:20.119 --> 0:26:22.879
<v Speaker 3>Carry So Gabe Davis is on the bench highest snap

0:26:22.960 --> 0:26:25.320
<v Speaker 3>count of the wide receivers, but only three targets. Christian

0:26:25.400 --> 0:26:28.240
<v Speaker 3>Kirk is on the bench as he got out snapped

0:26:28.240 --> 0:26:31.639
<v Speaker 3>by both Gabe Davis and Brian Thomas. They both had

0:26:31.760 --> 0:26:36.159
<v Speaker 3>higher A dots as well on plays with two or

0:26:36.200 --> 0:26:38.760
<v Speaker 3>one wide receiver on the field, so not three wide

0:26:38.800 --> 0:26:43.400
<v Speaker 3>receiver sets. Christian Kirk played three snaps. He's not in

0:26:43.440 --> 0:26:45.000
<v Speaker 3>on their two wide receiver snaps.

0:26:45.160 --> 0:26:47.480
<v Speaker 1>That's a really big change.

0:26:47.520 --> 0:26:49.520
<v Speaker 3>So I got him on the bench, Evan Ingram with

0:26:49.560 --> 0:26:52.359
<v Speaker 3>a B grade. He only played sixty eight percent of

0:26:52.400 --> 0:26:55.080
<v Speaker 3>the snaps, but when he was out there, he ran

0:26:55.119 --> 0:26:59.040
<v Speaker 3>around on almost every single drop at outside of the touchdowns,

0:26:59.040 --> 0:27:01.280
<v Speaker 3>he was the most productive last year. The Browns were

0:27:01.320 --> 0:27:03.639
<v Speaker 3>a top ten team against tight ends in the first

0:27:03.640 --> 0:27:07.000
<v Speaker 3>half last year, but that changed when Evan Ingram in

0:27:07.040 --> 0:27:09.960
<v Speaker 3>Week fourteen went eleven for ninety five and two scores.

0:27:10.040 --> 0:27:11.320
<v Speaker 3>So I got a B grade on Ingram.

0:27:11.400 --> 0:27:13.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I bounced back game coming for him. Kirk is

0:27:13.600 --> 0:27:16.959
<v Speaker 1>the one that I'm just I'm shocked, yeh, low utilization

0:27:17.200 --> 0:27:20.159
<v Speaker 1>for Christian Kirk and very worried. He had been a

0:27:20.280 --> 0:27:23.720
<v Speaker 1>very safe, dependable player. You know you needed six catches

0:27:23.760 --> 0:27:26.760
<v Speaker 1>for sixty five eighty yards that Christian Kirk was the guy.

0:27:26.880 --> 0:27:30.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I did it. Still on name value right now

0:27:31.000 --> 0:27:34.800
<v Speaker 2>on Christian Kirk alone, because they Scott the stars are

0:27:34.840 --> 0:27:35.880
<v Speaker 2>aligning for bad things.

0:27:35.880 --> 0:27:39.560
<v Speaker 1>It seems like, yeah, that's it's definitely worrisome. Speaking worrisome,

0:27:40.520 --> 0:27:44.040
<v Speaker 1>can you start any Green Bay wide receiver with Malik

0:27:44.160 --> 0:27:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Willis at the hell? Find out when we come back

0:28:17.760 --> 0:28:22.439
<v Speaker 1>freshest way to play fantasy football. Four matchups beginning with

0:28:22.520 --> 0:28:26.720
<v Speaker 1>Colts at Packers. Brian, let's start on the Colts side

0:28:26.720 --> 0:28:28.919
<v Speaker 1>of the ball, and then we'll get to the Thorny

0:28:29.000 --> 0:28:32.680
<v Speaker 1>or Green Bay part of this. Anthony Richardson, with some

0:28:32.800 --> 0:28:37.640
<v Speaker 1>big plays downfield, only completed nine passes, but the entire.

0:28:37.800 --> 0:28:42.080
<v Speaker 2>Game, Yeah, like Scott said, three fifty plus yards, two

0:28:42.080 --> 0:28:44.680
<v Speaker 2>of those being touchdowns, So he gets an A grade

0:28:44.680 --> 0:28:47.880
<v Speaker 2>pretty much when he's healthy and suiting up. And obviously

0:28:47.880 --> 0:28:51.240
<v Speaker 2>the rushing upside is always massive, only slightly scratched the

0:28:51.280 --> 0:28:54.160
<v Speaker 2>surface last week. Six carries for fifty six yards nearly

0:28:54.200 --> 0:28:56.760
<v Speaker 2>ten yards per carry, not too shabby for a rich

0:28:56.800 --> 0:28:59.440
<v Speaker 2>He gets an A. Jonathan Taylor also gets an A.

0:28:59.640 --> 0:29:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Was on the fiel for ninety five percent of the

0:29:01.400 --> 0:29:05.240
<v Speaker 2>snaps in the opener. That's awesome. Taylor was not targeted

0:29:05.280 --> 0:29:07.840
<v Speaker 2>in the opener as well. That is not awesome unless

0:29:07.840 --> 0:29:11.280
<v Speaker 2>you're playing non PPR leagues, but still a massive bellcout

0:29:11.360 --> 0:29:13.400
<v Speaker 2>ninety five percent of the snaps. Easy a for him.

0:29:13.600 --> 0:29:16.440
<v Speaker 2>Michael Pittman can give him a c. He led the

0:29:16.440 --> 0:29:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Colts and targets and route percentage, but was third in

0:29:19.280 --> 0:29:22.480
<v Speaker 2>a dot behind Alec Pearson a don A Mitchell last week.

0:29:22.520 --> 0:29:25.840
<v Speaker 2>So Pittman was essentially the possession receiver, which is not ideal.

0:29:25.920 --> 0:29:27.680
<v Speaker 2>But he will be the primary target in the red

0:29:27.760 --> 0:29:29.280
<v Speaker 2>zone like he was last year. He was the only

0:29:29.320 --> 0:29:32.360
<v Speaker 2>Colts pass catcher with double digit red zone targets and

0:29:32.400 --> 0:29:34.720
<v Speaker 2>he was seventh overall among all wide receivers in red

0:29:34.800 --> 0:29:37.200
<v Speaker 2>zone targets in twenty twenty three. So he gets a see.

0:29:37.200 --> 0:29:40.520
<v Speaker 2>But I've got Odden A. Mitchell, Alec Pearce and Josh Downs,

0:29:40.520 --> 0:29:43.320
<v Speaker 2>who's returned to full practice might make his return. I

0:29:43.320 --> 0:29:44.720
<v Speaker 2>got him all on the bench because we need to

0:29:44.720 --> 0:29:47.120
<v Speaker 2>see how this shapes out with those three wide receivers

0:29:47.120 --> 0:29:49.400
<v Speaker 2>all healthy. So they're on the bench for me, as

0:29:49.440 --> 0:29:51.920
<v Speaker 2>are Kyle and Grants and Moali Cox. Not getting too

0:29:52.320 --> 0:29:55.320
<v Speaker 2>far into that. If it was Jewanni Woods charge, we

0:29:55.360 --> 0:29:57.480
<v Speaker 2>would be breaking that down in details. Over to the

0:29:57.480 --> 0:30:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Green Bay side, we're assuming Malik Willis is going to

0:30:00.960 --> 0:30:03.160
<v Speaker 2>be the starter. Jordan Love not officially ruled out, but

0:30:03.440 --> 0:30:06.760
<v Speaker 2>highly unlikely he goes. That puts every pass catcher on

0:30:06.840 --> 0:30:09.840
<v Speaker 2>the bench for me outside of Jaden Reid. Although Jaden

0:30:09.880 --> 0:30:11.920
<v Speaker 2>Reid has popped on the injury report with a calf

0:30:12.000 --> 0:30:14.280
<v Speaker 2>and shin injury, still gonna give him a c. They're

0:30:14.320 --> 0:30:16.880
<v Speaker 2>gonna get him the ball anyway they can, whether it's

0:30:16.920 --> 0:30:18.400
<v Speaker 2>to the air on the ground. So a SEE for

0:30:18.480 --> 0:30:21.280
<v Speaker 2>Jayden Reid and a B for Josh Jacobs. Colts yielded

0:30:21.320 --> 0:30:23.240
<v Speaker 2>a monster game to Joe Mixon last week, and the

0:30:23.240 --> 0:30:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Packers figured to lean on Jacobs heavily with Jordan Love

0:30:26.400 --> 0:30:27.920
<v Speaker 2>very very iffy to play in this game, So a

0:30:28.040 --> 0:30:28.840
<v Speaker 2>B for Jacobs.

0:30:28.960 --> 0:30:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, a couple of Milik will his stats now these starts,

0:30:31.840 --> 0:30:34.160
<v Speaker 1>his three NFL starts, so from two years ago, hopefully

0:30:34.160 --> 0:30:37.760
<v Speaker 1>he's gotten better. If you spike the ball into the

0:30:37.800 --> 0:30:40.280
<v Speaker 1>ground every play, do you know what the passer rating is?

0:30:41.760 --> 0:30:42.400
<v Speaker 3>Fifty eight?

0:30:42.800 --> 0:30:46.880
<v Speaker 1>Thirty nine? Okay, Malik Willis's three career starts as a

0:30:46.960 --> 0:30:51.400
<v Speaker 1>quarterback passer rating thirty nine, Jesus forty nine. Just take

0:30:51.440 --> 0:30:53.720
<v Speaker 1>on the Vikings. Christian McCaffrey ruled out of this game.

0:30:53.800 --> 0:30:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Mason is an A grade based on how great

0:30:57.240 --> 0:31:00.600
<v Speaker 1>he looked last week. Vikings are a good run defense.

0:31:00.760 --> 0:31:02.400
<v Speaker 1>They were good last year. They gave up the fourth

0:31:02.480 --> 0:31:05.960
<v Speaker 1>viewest fantasy points to running backs. Last week they obliterated

0:31:06.000 --> 0:31:10.680
<v Speaker 1>Devin Singletary. But I can't see like any defense containing

0:31:10.680 --> 0:31:13.280
<v Speaker 1>the version of Jordan Mason we saw last week, So

0:31:13.600 --> 0:31:16.360
<v Speaker 1>keeping the A grade on him. Going over to the

0:31:16.360 --> 0:31:19.960
<v Speaker 1>passing game, starting with Deebo Samuel another A grade, particularly

0:31:20.000 --> 0:31:24.320
<v Speaker 1>after getting eight carries last week. Wow, that was nice.

0:31:24.440 --> 0:31:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Nine targets last week, positive individual matchups coming in the

0:31:28.880 --> 0:31:34.040
<v Speaker 1>slot against Byron Murphy Josh mittelis probably so. I still

0:31:34.080 --> 0:31:36.480
<v Speaker 1>like Deebo Samuel a lot in this one, particularly if

0:31:36.480 --> 0:31:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Brandon Ayuk is not quite got the rust knocked off yet.

0:31:41.440 --> 0:31:43.600
<v Speaker 1>He comes into the B grade here. It would probably

0:31:43.600 --> 0:31:46.040
<v Speaker 1>be an A if if he hadn't had the long holdout.

0:31:46.360 --> 0:31:49.640
<v Speaker 1>Snapcount probably gets closer to normal. He dropped a sure

0:31:49.760 --> 0:31:54.920
<v Speaker 1>touchdown on Monday night. Minnesota's got three journeyman quarterbacks cornerbacks

0:31:54.960 --> 0:31:58.880
<v Speaker 1>Byron Murphy, Shack Griffin, Stefan Gilmour. Those guys combined for

0:31:59.000 --> 0:32:02.280
<v Speaker 1>twenty five year years of play in the league and

0:32:02.440 --> 0:32:05.920
<v Speaker 1>thirteen different teams, is there not? Like the cornerbacks, everybody

0:32:05.960 --> 0:32:08.240
<v Speaker 1>covets at this stage of their respective careers, and I

0:32:08.280 --> 0:32:10.360
<v Speaker 1>think Ayuk's better than all of them. So I've still

0:32:10.360 --> 0:32:12.160
<v Speaker 1>got a B grade on Brandon Ayuk.

0:32:12.240 --> 0:32:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Those are work in the cornerbacks.

0:32:17.680 --> 0:32:20.800
<v Speaker 1>But Kittle posted seventy eight yards against Minnesota last year

0:32:20.800 --> 0:32:23.440
<v Speaker 1>when these teams met. He ran routes on ninety one

0:32:23.520 --> 0:32:25.680
<v Speaker 1>percent of the forty nine ers plays last week and

0:32:25.720 --> 0:32:29.800
<v Speaker 1>will be heavily involved again. Last year, Kittle quality Titans

0:32:29.880 --> 0:32:32.640
<v Speaker 1>almost always fared well against the Vikings. I think that'll

0:32:32.680 --> 0:32:35.320
<v Speaker 1>be the case here as well, and with a bunch

0:32:35.360 --> 0:32:37.800
<v Speaker 1>of A grades and B grades around. Brock Purty comes

0:32:37.800 --> 0:32:39.560
<v Speaker 1>in with a B grade here. Played well against an

0:32:39.600 --> 0:32:42.760
<v Speaker 1>elite Jets secondary last week, but did not fill the box. Score.

0:32:43.120 --> 0:32:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Should be better in Week two, particularly with Trent Williams

0:32:46.000 --> 0:32:49.120
<v Speaker 1>getting another week of practice and conditioning behind him. The

0:32:49.200 --> 0:32:52.160
<v Speaker 1>Vikings handled Daniel Jones and the opener, but obviously a

0:32:52.200 --> 0:32:55.520
<v Speaker 1>far tougher matchup Brocky brock Purty with a B for

0:32:55.560 --> 0:32:59.240
<v Speaker 1>the Vikings. Justin Jefferson every week A grade Niners are

0:32:59.280 --> 0:33:02.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna roll extra coverage his way with Jordan Addison out,

0:33:03.240 --> 0:33:06.040
<v Speaker 1>but still it's jeff Justin Jefferson, and you don't fool

0:33:06.080 --> 0:33:08.720
<v Speaker 1>around with that. Jalen Naylor, it's going to be your starter,

0:33:08.840 --> 0:33:11.520
<v Speaker 1>and this is a nice dart throw possibility for you.

0:33:11.600 --> 0:33:13.400
<v Speaker 1>I considered him as might take a chance on me.

0:33:13.520 --> 0:33:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Receiver O'Connell. Kevin O'Connell's going to retain his past heavy

0:33:17.480 --> 0:33:20.120
<v Speaker 1>stylings and Naylor's going to be an every down player

0:33:20.160 --> 0:33:24.480
<v Speaker 1>with Addison out and again extra coverage rolling to Justin Jefferson,

0:33:24.480 --> 0:33:26.440
<v Speaker 1>So Naylor's going to see single covered throughout the game,

0:33:26.480 --> 0:33:29.280
<v Speaker 1>and they might take some chances with deep plays to him.

0:33:29.280 --> 0:33:32.160
<v Speaker 1>He's got nice speed and he sprung free for a

0:33:32.200 --> 0:33:36.000
<v Speaker 1>touchdown last week. Sam Darnold was your take a chance

0:33:36.040 --> 0:33:37.920
<v Speaker 1>on me quarterback. I've got a C grade on him.

0:33:37.960 --> 0:33:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Brian our Boy and then Aaron Jones. Niners are always

0:33:42.040 --> 0:33:45.200
<v Speaker 1>an awesome run defense. Last year they ranked number two

0:33:45.200 --> 0:33:47.680
<v Speaker 1>and rushing yards allowed and number four and fantasy points

0:33:47.720 --> 0:33:50.280
<v Speaker 1>to running backs. They just held Breeze Hall to three

0:33:50.320 --> 0:33:53.280
<v Speaker 1>point four yards per carry, and Hall's great. Hall did

0:33:53.320 --> 0:33:55.840
<v Speaker 1>chip in some receiving help, and Jones remain startable because

0:33:55.840 --> 0:33:57.920
<v Speaker 1>his past catching ability is really good. And I think

0:33:57.920 --> 0:34:00.200
<v Speaker 1>he's going to pull in more receptions this week week

0:34:00.200 --> 0:34:02.880
<v Speaker 1>than he did last week. Last year, the Niners allowed

0:34:02.960 --> 0:34:06.200
<v Speaker 1>the fourth most running back receptions and the eighth most

0:34:06.280 --> 0:34:08.799
<v Speaker 1>running back receiving yards. I think Aaron Jones is going

0:34:08.840 --> 0:34:09.680
<v Speaker 1>to be helper through the air.

0:34:09.800 --> 0:34:12.239
<v Speaker 2>One key thing you forgot to mention about this game. Yeah,

0:34:12.360 --> 0:34:16.080
<v Speaker 2>Kevin Harland is on the call. Baby cannot wait.

0:34:16.480 --> 0:34:17.960
<v Speaker 1>So great, So good.

0:34:17.840 --> 0:34:21.160
<v Speaker 2>Sam Darnold touchdown calls by Kevin Harland, take me home.

0:34:21.400 --> 0:34:24.640
<v Speaker 1>Seattle takes on New England. Obviously New England with a

0:34:24.640 --> 0:34:28.320
<v Speaker 1>big upset victory in Week number one. Seattle's offensive line

0:34:28.719 --> 0:34:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Scott looked awful, and I'm worried about them against a

0:34:32.520 --> 0:34:34.680
<v Speaker 1>better Pats defense than the one they saw last.

0:34:34.600 --> 0:34:36.960
<v Speaker 3>Better Pats defense that just held Joe Burrow to one

0:34:37.000 --> 0:34:39.840
<v Speaker 3>hundred and sixty four yards and no scores. It's the

0:34:39.880 --> 0:34:42.760
<v Speaker 3>lowest over under of the week at about thirty seven,

0:34:42.840 --> 0:34:46.160
<v Speaker 3>and they brought pressure on about twenty eight percent of

0:34:46.200 --> 0:34:49.560
<v Speaker 3>the plays, fifth in the league in sacks. I think

0:34:49.600 --> 0:34:51.719
<v Speaker 3>it's only four or five. I mean it's been one week, right,

0:34:51.760 --> 0:34:54.360
<v Speaker 3>but so yeah, they will be able to pressure a

0:34:54.360 --> 0:34:57.480
<v Speaker 3>little bit. I gave Jano Smith a bench grade in

0:34:57.600 --> 0:34:59.359
<v Speaker 3>this one. He only had one hundred and seventy one

0:34:59.560 --> 0:35:03.480
<v Speaker 3>yards and an easier matchup last week. So for his receivers,

0:35:04.160 --> 0:35:06.640
<v Speaker 3>I think Tyler Lockett and Dk Metcalff are going to

0:35:06.760 --> 0:35:08.719
<v Speaker 3>find their way to C grades, but it might just

0:35:08.760 --> 0:35:10.839
<v Speaker 3>be one hundred and eighty yards and a score and

0:35:10.880 --> 0:35:13.040
<v Speaker 3>it's split between the two of them. Jackson Smith and

0:35:13.120 --> 0:35:16.919
<v Speaker 3>Jigba got Bert virtually nothing last week with his three

0:35:16.960 --> 0:35:22.040
<v Speaker 3>point three a dot and just two targets. Dk Metcalf

0:35:22.200 --> 0:35:24.040
<v Speaker 3>was out there all the time, played eighty eight percent

0:35:24.080 --> 0:35:29.080
<v Speaker 3>of the snaps. Last year. He had a scoreless sub

0:35:29.120 --> 0:35:34.440
<v Speaker 3>forty day in this matchup, but he had one hundred

0:35:34.440 --> 0:35:36.560
<v Speaker 3>and thirty four yards and three or sorry, he had

0:35:36.600 --> 0:35:38.600
<v Speaker 3>one hundred plus yards and or a score in ten games.

0:35:38.640 --> 0:35:40.680
<v Speaker 3>I think he gets back on track here. The only

0:35:40.760 --> 0:35:43.279
<v Speaker 3>problem is he's got a tough matchup with Christian Goitnzalez,

0:35:43.320 --> 0:35:45.960
<v Speaker 3>who shadowed Jamar Chase last week to the dune of

0:35:46.239 --> 0:35:49.560
<v Speaker 3>two catches for fifteen yards. So I can barely get

0:35:49.560 --> 0:35:52.520
<v Speaker 3>to a C grade on Metcalf. Tyler Lockett led in targets,

0:35:52.520 --> 0:35:55.600
<v Speaker 3>receptions yards last week six for seventy seven yards, but

0:35:55.640 --> 0:35:57.600
<v Speaker 3>he only played about half the snaps and didn't see

0:35:57.600 --> 0:35:59.600
<v Speaker 3>a red zone target. But I think he'll find his way.

0:35:59.640 --> 0:36:02.280
<v Speaker 3>He's he's been injured, but he's been playing with the injury.

0:36:02.680 --> 0:36:06.400
<v Speaker 3>In the running game, Kenneth Walker is going to be gone.

0:36:06.640 --> 0:36:10.560
<v Speaker 3>Coach Grubb says that offensive coordinator Grub says that Zach

0:36:10.640 --> 0:36:14.440
<v Speaker 3>Charbonay is going to see the same work that Walker,

0:36:14.440 --> 0:36:17.440
<v Speaker 3>which is going to mean a lot exactly. So I

0:36:17.440 --> 0:36:21.080
<v Speaker 3>have a C grade on Walker. After Walker was injured,

0:36:21.280 --> 0:36:23.719
<v Speaker 3>Charbone played the last two drives of massing zero yards

0:36:23.719 --> 0:36:25.640
<v Speaker 3>on four carries, so that doesn't give us very much.

0:36:25.680 --> 0:36:28.359
<v Speaker 3>He was in effective when he was in the game.

0:36:28.400 --> 0:36:30.560
<v Speaker 3>He did get a score through the air, and we

0:36:30.680 --> 0:36:32.480
<v Speaker 3>do know he's a good pass catcher, so he should

0:36:32.480 --> 0:36:34.560
<v Speaker 3>get enough to get a C grade. Over on the

0:36:34.600 --> 0:36:37.160
<v Speaker 3>New England side, I have one starting grade and that's

0:36:37.200 --> 0:36:40.000
<v Speaker 3>it the pass. The passing game is on the bench.

0:36:40.239 --> 0:36:44.359
<v Speaker 3>It's Fromandre Stevenson, but it's only a C grade. Stevenson

0:36:44.400 --> 0:36:47.120
<v Speaker 3>had seventy eight percent in New England's running back rushes

0:36:47.160 --> 0:36:50.200
<v Speaker 3>and thirteen percent of the targets. He didn't reach that

0:36:50.320 --> 0:36:52.520
<v Speaker 3>high of a running back rush share once in twenty

0:36:52.560 --> 0:36:55.439
<v Speaker 3>twenty three. He led Week one in miss tackles with ten.

0:36:55.719 --> 0:36:58.400
<v Speaker 1>I know I saw one service credit him with twelve

0:36:58.520 --> 0:37:01.920
<v Speaker 1>miss tackles. Okay, okay, believable for Remondre. I think the

0:37:01.960 --> 0:37:04.879
<v Speaker 1>next closest runner had five or six. Yeah, to tell

0:37:04.880 --> 0:37:07.440
<v Speaker 1>you how good twelve miss tackles is orphaned.

0:37:07.200 --> 0:37:09.880
<v Speaker 3>Depending on give your looking. Gibson didn't have a target.

0:37:09.880 --> 0:37:12.600
<v Speaker 3>Steven said had four of the six, but Seattle just

0:37:12.680 --> 0:37:15.600
<v Speaker 3>held Bronco runners to sixty eight yards. I think he's

0:37:15.640 --> 0:37:17.560
<v Speaker 3>got the volume c but if he breaks one or

0:37:17.560 --> 0:37:19.120
<v Speaker 3>he gets a score, it could be a b day.

0:37:19.760 --> 0:37:22.840
<v Speaker 1>I love Romondra and I'm so happy for his success.

0:37:22.960 --> 0:37:24.479
<v Speaker 2>The battering rom Yeah.

0:37:24.560 --> 0:37:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I kind of like.

0:37:25.600 --> 0:37:28.240
<v Speaker 2>That Bell cow baby. He looks like a bell coow.

0:37:28.440 --> 0:37:32.479
<v Speaker 1>Jets take on the Titans. Brian Jets side of the ball.

0:37:32.560 --> 0:37:35.120
<v Speaker 1>Breese Hall bottled up. As I mentioned a few minutes ago.

0:37:35.560 --> 0:37:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Do you like him better in this matchup?

0:37:38.520 --> 0:37:41.280
<v Speaker 2>A little bit better? But another another tough matchup for Breese.

0:37:41.400 --> 0:37:43.360
<v Speaker 2>I can give him an a though he did operate

0:37:43.400 --> 0:37:45.040
<v Speaker 2>in a Bell cou roll in Week one, took eighty

0:37:45.080 --> 0:37:47.319
<v Speaker 2>four percent of the snaps against the Niners, posted a

0:37:47.360 --> 0:37:51.040
<v Speaker 2>respectable line of ninety three combo yards with five catches.

0:37:51.080 --> 0:37:53.880
<v Speaker 2>And a touchdown, but again another tough matchup against the

0:37:53.920 --> 0:37:56.759
<v Speaker 2>Tennessee You shut down the Bears ground game last week,

0:37:56.760 --> 0:37:58.759
<v Speaker 2>but Brees saw much better than any Bears running back.

0:37:58.760 --> 0:38:01.239
<v Speaker 2>He's a You're starting Breese Hall Garrett Wilson and give

0:38:01.280 --> 0:38:03.560
<v Speaker 2>him a be got off to a hot start last week,

0:38:03.760 --> 0:38:05.920
<v Speaker 2>but then it became the Allen Lazard show in the

0:38:06.000 --> 0:38:08.200
<v Speaker 2>second half. But Wilson still led the Jets with eleven

0:38:08.239 --> 0:38:11.200
<v Speaker 2>targets and he's only getting a bee because of game

0:38:11.280 --> 0:38:13.319
<v Speaker 2>script concerns. I kind of think the Jets roll the

0:38:13.360 --> 0:38:14.239
<v Speaker 2>Titans in this one.

0:38:14.320 --> 0:38:18.440
<v Speaker 1>But also the Titans. You know, they picked up Lugarious

0:38:18.440 --> 0:38:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Snead in the offseason.

0:38:19.560 --> 0:38:20.120
<v Speaker 2>That's a big boon.

0:38:20.320 --> 0:38:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Gaved he was really good in Week one, and frankly,

0:38:23.080 --> 0:38:25.920
<v Speaker 1>the whole secondary looked really good. So I'm kind of

0:38:25.960 --> 0:38:27.480
<v Speaker 1>with you on this be great and I worry about

0:38:27.480 --> 0:38:29.400
<v Speaker 1>sneed just shadowing Garrett Wilson in this game.

0:38:29.480 --> 0:38:31.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they're probably gonna throw lots of double covers at

0:38:31.920 --> 0:38:33.960
<v Speaker 2>Wilson too. That's why I liked Allen Lazaris might take

0:38:33.960 --> 0:38:36.239
<v Speaker 2>a chance on me. Wide receiver Mike Williams only took

0:38:36.320 --> 0:38:38.440
<v Speaker 2>nine snaps in Week one. The Jets are easing him

0:38:38.480 --> 0:38:40.680
<v Speaker 2>into action before he gets hurt again, so he's on

0:38:40.719 --> 0:38:44.279
<v Speaker 2>the bench, as is Tyler Conklin. Only two targets last week,

0:38:44.840 --> 0:38:47.480
<v Speaker 2>and the Titans allowed just four catches forty three yards

0:38:47.480 --> 0:38:49.480
<v Speaker 2>per game to tight ends last year in just three

0:38:49.560 --> 0:38:52.640
<v Speaker 2>total touchdowns to the position, So Conklin on the bench

0:38:52.680 --> 0:38:54.920
<v Speaker 2>was kind of a popular sleeper pick but hasn't come

0:38:54.960 --> 0:38:57.680
<v Speaker 2>to fruition yet. And lastly, for the Jets, Aaron Rodgers

0:38:57.719 --> 0:38:59.600
<v Speaker 2>gets to see and again that's because I fear this

0:38:59.640 --> 0:39:01.840
<v Speaker 2>is going to be a big Breasee Hall game. And

0:39:01.880 --> 0:39:04.560
<v Speaker 2>the Titans only allowed the fourth few his passing touchdowns

0:39:04.560 --> 0:39:08.680
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty three, and only one quarterback has topped

0:39:08.680 --> 0:39:10.560
<v Speaker 2>two hundred and eighty yards against them over the last

0:39:10.600 --> 0:39:12.879
<v Speaker 2>sixteen games the Titans. That is so not a great

0:39:12.920 --> 0:39:15.759
<v Speaker 2>matchup for posing quarterbacks over the Titans side. Not a

0:39:15.760 --> 0:39:18.560
<v Speaker 2>lot to like here outside of if you're.

0:39:18.480 --> 0:39:20.960
<v Speaker 1>Gonna start with that, you must you must go directly

0:39:21.000 --> 0:39:22.360
<v Speaker 1>to Will Levis Well.

0:39:22.400 --> 0:39:25.160
<v Speaker 2>I thought outside, I want to get Tony Pollard out

0:39:25.200 --> 0:39:26.720
<v Speaker 2>of the way. You're take a chance with me running

0:39:26.719 --> 0:39:28.759
<v Speaker 2>back and with you there, ty J. Spears, I was

0:39:28.840 --> 0:39:31.040
<v Speaker 2>close in PPR to get thrown a Dart, but just

0:39:31.080 --> 0:39:33.319
<v Speaker 2>twenty five percent of the snaps in week one. He's

0:39:33.320 --> 0:39:35.760
<v Speaker 2>still on the bench as and as is Calvin Ridley

0:39:36.200 --> 0:39:38.439
<v Speaker 2>led the Titans with seven targets last week, but only

0:39:38.520 --> 0:39:41.359
<v Speaker 2>three were catchable. He was getting wide open, but Will

0:39:41.440 --> 0:39:45.360
<v Speaker 2>Levis was not cooperating. Ridley had a seventy one percent

0:39:45.440 --> 0:39:48.799
<v Speaker 2>air yard share. How about that. That's insane. But you

0:39:48.880 --> 0:39:51.600
<v Speaker 2>have to imagine Ridley will draw a lot of sawbridge

0:39:52.080 --> 0:39:54.960
<v Speaker 2>from Sauce gardener. So he's on the bench. So it's

0:39:54.960 --> 0:39:58.440
<v Speaker 2>DeAndre Hopkins who only took seventeen snaps in week one

0:39:58.480 --> 0:40:01.680
<v Speaker 2>as a partially torn and cl can't trust him, can't

0:40:01.680 --> 0:40:03.920
<v Speaker 2>trust Tyler Boyd. He's on the bench, and you cannot

0:40:04.440 --> 0:40:07.399
<v Speaker 2>trust will Levis, especially if he's making your coffee. He's

0:40:07.400 --> 0:40:07.560
<v Speaker 2>on that.

0:40:07.840 --> 0:40:11.200
<v Speaker 1>I will say Sauce doesn't travel. Sauce and DJ they

0:40:12.040 --> 0:40:14.120
<v Speaker 1>play their sides. Yep, you're absolutely right about that. I

0:40:14.160 --> 0:40:17.480
<v Speaker 1>believe Sauce gave up zero yards in his coverage in

0:40:17.520 --> 0:40:19.000
<v Speaker 1>the opener against the forty nine.

0:40:19.040 --> 0:40:19.440
<v Speaker 3>Interesting.

0:40:19.600 --> 0:40:23.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yep. Absolutely. We've actually got a couple of minutes

0:40:23.200 --> 0:40:27.560
<v Speaker 1>to spare. We're going to get into the UH into

0:40:27.600 --> 0:40:32.640
<v Speaker 1>the TUA situation next hour. But I do want to

0:40:32.680 --> 0:40:35.040
<v Speaker 1>talk about one or two other things from the Thursday

0:40:35.080 --> 0:40:38.959
<v Speaker 1>night game. Okay, Number one, Keon Coleman was the most

0:40:38.960 --> 0:40:42.719
<v Speaker 1>targeted Buffalo player in Week one. Then we two no catches.

0:40:43.040 --> 0:40:46.480
<v Speaker 1>What's your what's your take on Keon Coleman as somebody

0:40:46.520 --> 0:40:48.560
<v Speaker 1>that has a Fantasy starter going forward.

0:40:49.239 --> 0:40:52.560
<v Speaker 3>I like him, but I feel like I feel like this,

0:40:52.560 --> 0:40:55.319
<v Speaker 3>this Buffalo offense might just be unpredictable as far as

0:40:55.400 --> 0:40:57.880
<v Speaker 3>witch wide receiver you're gonna want, and sometimes it's.

0:40:57.760 --> 0:40:59.719
<v Speaker 1>Just going to be non well except for one guy.

0:41:00.920 --> 0:41:03.640
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Khalil, come.

0:41:03.480 --> 0:41:06.040
<v Speaker 2>On, if you had to pick one, it's definitely Shakira.

0:41:06.160 --> 0:41:07.120
<v Speaker 1>It is for sure.

0:41:08.360 --> 0:41:09.640
<v Speaker 3>It was never going to be Samuel.

0:41:10.000 --> 0:41:12.600
<v Speaker 1>I see, I never thought it was. He looks totally

0:41:12.640 --> 0:41:15.800
<v Speaker 1>out of the loop now, like droppable for Curtis Samuel.

0:41:15.880 --> 0:41:17.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think we were on that this is.

0:41:17.400 --> 0:41:20.719
<v Speaker 1>Getting very inconsistent work. Yeah, she cares. You know, you

0:41:20.760 --> 0:41:21.720
<v Speaker 1>guys know she cares.

0:41:21.719 --> 0:41:22.080
<v Speaker 3>My guy.

0:41:22.440 --> 0:41:24.719
<v Speaker 1>He looks slippery. I love the way they use him.

0:41:25.040 --> 0:41:26.680
<v Speaker 1>I wish it wasn't so much out of the slot.

0:41:26.719 --> 0:41:30.640
<v Speaker 1>But nevertheless, let's say you're down. You played against James

0:41:30.719 --> 0:41:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Cook and now you're down three touchdowns early what how

0:41:35.040 --> 0:41:37.280
<v Speaker 1>does this change how you set your lineup on Sunday.

0:41:37.320 --> 0:41:39.319
<v Speaker 3>I think it's the same advice we give every year.

0:41:39.640 --> 0:41:42.879
<v Speaker 3>You go for the high risk, high reward, but uh,

0:41:43.239 --> 0:41:44.560
<v Speaker 3>you know upside players.

0:41:44.960 --> 0:41:47.279
<v Speaker 2>Or you can assemble a stack that could be on

0:41:47.320 --> 0:41:50.920
<v Speaker 2>the way like Sam Donald and Naylor right there, Donald,

0:41:50.960 --> 0:41:53.440
<v Speaker 2>Josh Oliver throwing Josh Oliver a tight end and just

0:41:54.600 --> 0:41:57.640
<v Speaker 2>just root along for Sam Donald with me. Baby can

0:41:57.680 --> 0:42:00.279
<v Speaker 2>enjoy the ride. Every It's a wild ride that all

0:42:00.280 --> 0:42:00.480
<v Speaker 2>I know.

0:42:00.600 --> 0:42:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Every answer from you, I'm obsessed. It seems to involve

0:42:04.080 --> 0:42:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Sam Darky.

0:42:04.640 --> 0:42:05.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm obsessed.

0:42:05.719 --> 0:42:06.440
<v Speaker 1>I'll admit it.

0:42:06.480 --> 0:42:09.000
<v Speaker 2>I want him to succeed so bad, and I think

0:42:09.000 --> 0:42:10.839
<v Speaker 2>he will. I know you will.

0:42:10.880 --> 0:42:13.520
<v Speaker 1>Maybe ultimately they've got a much.

0:42:13.400 --> 0:42:15.120
<v Speaker 2>Of a reputation to put on the line either, So

0:42:15.600 --> 0:42:15.920
<v Speaker 2>there's that.

0:42:16.040 --> 0:42:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, people are used to being being right.

0:42:18.320 --> 0:42:21.319
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, we haven't talked about Kobe Parkinson yet. How

0:42:21.440 --> 0:42:23.160
<v Speaker 2>right it was? Oh, that's a lot of right that

0:42:23.160 --> 0:42:24.640
<v Speaker 2>looks good. Don't though, say I'm wrong all the time.

0:42:24.640 --> 0:42:26.560
<v Speaker 2>That is not correct. I'm not Matt Harrison. I had

0:42:26.600 --> 0:42:27.680
<v Speaker 2>to throw some shade in Matt.

0:42:28.000 --> 0:42:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Well, you're not here offense. You've got to get in

0:42:29.880 --> 0:42:30.799
<v Speaker 1>your shot it's true.

0:42:31.560 --> 0:42:32.400
<v Speaker 2>So they take him at me.

0:42:32.560 --> 0:42:35.080
<v Speaker 1>It is probably how this works a little bit charge, Yeah,

0:42:35.280 --> 0:42:38.880
<v Speaker 1>what do you think about the Falcons offense? Well, okay,

0:42:39.040 --> 0:42:43.279
<v Speaker 1>so the misuse of Kirk Cousins was ridiculous. How you

0:42:43.320 --> 0:42:46.160
<v Speaker 1>put him in the pistol and shotgun every play for

0:42:46.200 --> 0:42:48.040
<v Speaker 1>a guy who we know all of his best work

0:42:48.120 --> 0:42:50.640
<v Speaker 1>is under center. He's he is one of the best

0:42:50.640 --> 0:42:52.880
<v Speaker 1>play action quarterbacks. They took that off the table.

0:42:52.960 --> 0:42:55.120
<v Speaker 3>Ye, no play action pace, no one.

0:42:55.040 --> 0:42:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Not one, not one play action play And do you

0:42:58.120 --> 0:43:01.200
<v Speaker 1>see this? The the plays that originate out of the

0:43:01.239 --> 0:43:08.120
<v Speaker 1>pistol runs. How predictable, How predictable. So then a lot

0:43:08.160 --> 0:43:09.640
<v Speaker 1>of people looking at his throats.

0:43:09.360 --> 0:43:10.719
<v Speaker 3>And he stands and.

0:43:10.600 --> 0:43:13.160
<v Speaker 1>His stance and it was different. He's like a different

0:43:13.200 --> 0:43:17.000
<v Speaker 1>guy out there. I'm looking at We watched, we broke down,

0:43:17.040 --> 0:43:21.160
<v Speaker 1>every watched every single Kirk Cousins throw er here in Minnesota.

0:43:21.320 --> 0:43:24.600
<v Speaker 1>That guy bared no resemblance to the Kirk Cousins we

0:43:24.640 --> 0:43:25.520
<v Speaker 1>saw from Minnesota.

0:43:25.560 --> 0:43:27.520
<v Speaker 3>The reason I bring this up is does this give

0:43:27.560 --> 0:43:30.719
<v Speaker 3>you cause for concern for Falcons players? Should people be

0:43:30.719 --> 0:43:32.160
<v Speaker 3>looking to sell or do you think it's going to

0:43:32.200 --> 0:43:32.640
<v Speaker 3>get fixed?

0:43:32.840 --> 0:43:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Hate? I hate buying low I hate buying the.

0:43:36.560 --> 0:43:39.160
<v Speaker 3>Would you sell selling? Would you chant selling all? You

0:43:39.200 --> 0:43:41.319
<v Speaker 3>think it's low. You think Drake Lennon's lost all his

0:43:41.400 --> 0:43:42.359
<v Speaker 3>value after one week.

0:43:42.400 --> 0:43:44.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you can get much for him right now,

0:43:44.200 --> 0:43:46.960
<v Speaker 1>right because everybody knows the Kirk. Everybody saw Kirk look

0:43:47.040 --> 0:43:49.000
<v Speaker 1>so feeble. I don't know if you can get much now.

0:43:49.040 --> 0:43:51.760
<v Speaker 1>What about Kyle Pitts, that's the real question. Scored a touchdown,

0:43:51.840 --> 0:43:54.120
<v Speaker 1>got you the touchdown. So there's a lot less worry

0:43:54.160 --> 0:43:55.359
<v Speaker 1>about Kyle Pitts right now.

0:43:55.480 --> 0:43:58.520
<v Speaker 2>Ray Ray McLeod leads the Falcons wide receivers and targets

0:43:58.560 --> 0:43:58.919
<v Speaker 2>right now.

0:43:59.520 --> 0:44:01.880
<v Speaker 1>Zach robs It might end up being a good offensive coordinator,

0:44:01.880 --> 0:44:05.000
<v Speaker 1>but it's very possible that Zach Robinson right now, at

0:44:05.000 --> 0:44:08.800
<v Speaker 1>this extremely early stage of his career, is over his head.

0:44:09.480 --> 0:44:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Then he's doing more bad than good with Kirk Cousin

0:44:12.239 --> 0:44:14.040
<v Speaker 1>one week, we'll see, Yeah, we're gonna we'll get a

0:44:14.080 --> 0:44:16.680
<v Speaker 1>lot more data points next week and we'll break down

0:44:16.719 --> 0:44:18.839
<v Speaker 1>that game a little bit later in the show when

0:44:18.840 --> 0:44:21.920
<v Speaker 1>we come up next. Three tough questions you get to

0:44:21.920 --> 0:44:25.640
<v Speaker 1>play along. We will hit on the TUA topic when

0:44:25.640 --> 0:44:29.720
<v Speaker 1>we come back as well. How much can you trust

0:44:29.719 --> 0:44:32.600
<v Speaker 1>the Miami offense. If two is going to miss extended time,

0:44:32.600 --> 0:44:34.719
<v Speaker 1>and it seems like he very well may. We'll get

0:44:34.760 --> 0:44:37.520
<v Speaker 1>into that and other topics in three tough questions and

0:44:37.560 --> 0:44:50.640
<v Speaker 1>we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy

0:44:50.640 --> 0:44:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Football Weekly. Our number two. As is tradition, we start

0:44:54.600 --> 0:44:55.719
<v Speaker 1>with three tough questions.

0:44:56.640 --> 0:44:59.520
<v Speaker 2>Tough question number one, what's.

0:44:59.280 --> 0:45:02.400
<v Speaker 1>The appropriate level of concern for the Miami offense in

0:45:02.440 --> 0:45:05.560
<v Speaker 1>these games without Tua? Is it none? Is it some?

0:45:05.800 --> 0:45:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Or is it a bowel loosening level of existential dread?

0:45:09.760 --> 0:45:13.359
<v Speaker 3>Scott, I'm just gonna go with some. Mike McDaniel, here's

0:45:13.400 --> 0:45:17.120
<v Speaker 3>what he's got to work with under whatever qbuh he

0:45:17.280 --> 0:45:21.240
<v Speaker 3>starts for, you know, the foreseeable future. One game, ten games,

0:45:21.280 --> 0:45:26.359
<v Speaker 3>whatever it is, Tyreek Hill, Waddle, mostart A, Chan, John New,

0:45:26.600 --> 0:45:28.719
<v Speaker 3>et cetera, et cetera. Jalen Right should have started with

0:45:28.760 --> 0:45:31.759
<v Speaker 3>John Smith. But yeah, I know he's got a lot

0:45:31.800 --> 0:45:35.479
<v Speaker 3>of pieces to work with. It'll be good for any quarterback. Uh,

0:45:35.520 --> 0:45:38.120
<v Speaker 3>they're gonna get there is. Mike McDaniel's gonna scheme it

0:45:38.160 --> 0:45:41.600
<v Speaker 3>to make it work. Uh. There's obviously gonna be a downtick.

0:45:41.760 --> 0:45:43.759
<v Speaker 3>Tua led the NFL in passing Last year he led

0:45:43.800 --> 0:45:45.879
<v Speaker 3>the NFL in passing Week one, Like, that's a lot

0:45:45.920 --> 0:45:48.160
<v Speaker 3>of a lot to make up for. But so it's some.

0:45:48.320 --> 0:45:51.840
<v Speaker 1>It's some, all right, Brian. What's the appropriate level of

0:45:51.840 --> 0:45:54.120
<v Speaker 1>concern for the Miami offense in games without Tua?

0:45:54.360 --> 0:45:54.760
<v Speaker 2>None?

0:45:55.040 --> 0:45:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Some or blowed?

0:45:57.160 --> 0:45:59.640
<v Speaker 2>I think it's got to be blowed. I mean, the

0:45:59.719 --> 0:46:03.080
<v Speaker 2>vert was still out if Tua is is actually good.

0:46:03.120 --> 0:46:05.440
<v Speaker 2>I mean, last year the Dolphins got off to an

0:46:05.480 --> 0:46:08.280
<v Speaker 2>incredible start led by Tyreek Kill and two was the quarterback,

0:46:08.280 --> 0:46:10.240
<v Speaker 2>of course, where they really fizzled out in the second

0:46:10.239 --> 0:46:12.279
<v Speaker 2>half of the year. Tyreek Kill was banged up that

0:46:12.320 --> 0:46:15.040
<v Speaker 2>help the weather got colder. Miami doesn't like that, but

0:46:15.440 --> 0:46:18.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean before the head injury last you know, on

0:46:18.320 --> 0:46:21.399
<v Speaker 2>Thursday night. The other night, Tua was not looking too good.

0:46:21.600 --> 0:46:24.480
<v Speaker 2>There Bills are a tough matchup, but uh, you know,

0:46:25.400 --> 0:46:30.399
<v Speaker 2>without two, uh, I don't see Skyler Thompson making this

0:46:30.600 --> 0:46:33.560
<v Speaker 2>offense run nearly as effectively as it did with Tuas.

0:46:33.840 --> 0:46:35.719
<v Speaker 2>It's full on blowed. For me, I don't have much

0:46:35.719 --> 0:46:36.239
<v Speaker 2>else to say.

0:46:36.320 --> 0:46:38.560
<v Speaker 1>The correct answer is some. And you know, one of

0:46:38.600 --> 0:46:41.960
<v Speaker 1>my favorite rookie analysts is Matt Waldman. Sure football got

0:46:42.160 --> 0:46:43.640
<v Speaker 1>I think he does great work. He has been a

0:46:43.640 --> 0:46:46.719
<v Speaker 1>big proponent of Skyler Thompson, Yes, and I agree. You know,

0:46:46.760 --> 0:46:50.359
<v Speaker 1>we've seen snippets of Skyler Thompson at various times within

0:46:50.400 --> 0:46:51.880
<v Speaker 1>the boundaries of backup quarterbacks.

0:46:52.080 --> 0:46:54.319
<v Speaker 3>I think he's pretty good against the Vikings that one.

0:46:54.400 --> 0:46:55.839
<v Speaker 1>He did have a good game against the Vikings two

0:46:55.880 --> 0:46:56.239
<v Speaker 1>years ago.

0:46:56.320 --> 0:46:57.840
<v Speaker 2>You know who else did, Daniel Jones.

0:47:00.640 --> 0:47:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Thompson's got a big arm, and those deep plays that

0:47:03.400 --> 0:47:06.399
<v Speaker 1>have generated all those fantasy points for fantasy owners from

0:47:06.400 --> 0:47:10.200
<v Speaker 1>TUA are not going to completely dry up. And Thomson's

0:47:10.200 --> 0:47:12.400
<v Speaker 1>not a precision passer. He's gonna make aaron throws, but

0:47:12.480 --> 0:47:14.960
<v Speaker 1>mostly those airin throws don't hurt us as much as

0:47:14.960 --> 0:47:18.920
<v Speaker 1>the big plays help us. Miami has been a balanced

0:47:19.280 --> 0:47:22.640
<v Speaker 1>run game, maybe more so than people realize. They still

0:47:22.760 --> 0:47:24.799
<v Speaker 1>and I think they're just gonna add in a bit

0:47:24.800 --> 0:47:27.520
<v Speaker 1>more rushing put try to put Skyler Thompson in a

0:47:27.520 --> 0:47:29.200
<v Speaker 1>position to have it doesn't have to win games, and

0:47:29.200 --> 0:47:31.200
<v Speaker 1>maybe connect on a couple of big passes a game.

0:47:31.920 --> 0:47:34.959
<v Speaker 1>Clearly this adds some downside to previously safe feeling guys

0:47:34.960 --> 0:47:37.279
<v Speaker 1>like Tyrek Hill and Jalen Waddle, But I don't think

0:47:37.320 --> 0:47:39.160
<v Speaker 1>the wheels are gonna come off and I am not

0:47:39.200 --> 0:47:40.320
<v Speaker 1>suffering from blowed.

0:47:40.520 --> 0:47:41.840
<v Speaker 3>Sure tough.

0:47:41.960 --> 0:47:43.480
<v Speaker 2>Question number two.

0:47:43.880 --> 0:47:47.200
<v Speaker 1>What is the appropriate level of concern for the Bengals offense?

0:47:47.200 --> 0:47:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Bengals offense, is it done some or a bowel loosening

0:47:51.520 --> 0:47:53.799
<v Speaker 1>level of existential drid Brian, you get to start this.

0:47:53.760 --> 0:47:57.440
<v Speaker 2>One borderline blowed, but just some concern for me with

0:47:57.480 --> 0:48:00.440
<v Speaker 2>the Bengals offense. Clearly losing at home to the pays

0:48:00.640 --> 0:48:04.800
<v Speaker 2>very bad. Burrow did not look good. Jamar Chase obviously

0:48:04.880 --> 0:48:08.800
<v Speaker 2>Russy has sat out the whole preseason. Basically t Higgins

0:48:08.840 --> 0:48:12.000
<v Speaker 2>was hurt. All those things can be corrected. And back

0:48:12.040 --> 0:48:14.319
<v Speaker 2>to Joe Burrow. There was that video footage of him

0:48:14.320 --> 0:48:18.160
<v Speaker 2>picking up the water bottle all ye weird awkwardly. It's like, oh,

0:48:18.640 --> 0:48:20.600
<v Speaker 2>his wrist is messed up. They're not going to put

0:48:20.640 --> 0:48:22.880
<v Speaker 2>him in a He's not starting the season if he

0:48:23.000 --> 0:48:24.799
<v Speaker 2>can't actually pick up a water bottle the right way.

0:48:24.880 --> 0:48:26.560
<v Speaker 2>That was just a weird way he picked up the

0:48:26.600 --> 0:48:27.160
<v Speaker 2>water bottle.

0:48:27.160 --> 0:48:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh wait, do you guys see the video of him

0:48:28.560 --> 0:48:30.120
<v Speaker 1>flexing his wrist all the time?

0:48:30.719 --> 0:48:30.920
<v Speaker 2>You know?

0:48:31.080 --> 0:48:34.040
<v Speaker 1>And and when he was asked about it, Joe Burrow's.

0:48:33.719 --> 0:48:35.920
<v Speaker 2>Like well, well, maybe that's the okie dope movie. He's

0:48:35.920 --> 0:48:36.879
<v Speaker 2>trying to say, risk.

0:48:37.160 --> 0:48:37.799
<v Speaker 3>What did you say?

0:48:37.880 --> 0:48:40.719
<v Speaker 1>Well, he said, well, that's part of my therapy is

0:48:40.880 --> 0:48:43.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm now an habitual wrist flexer. I'm flexing

0:48:43.719 --> 0:48:45.080
<v Speaker 1>at home. I flex in the shower.

0:48:45.200 --> 0:48:47.920
<v Speaker 3>I do the same thing. I shattered the right side

0:48:47.960 --> 0:48:49.719
<v Speaker 3>of my right hand, and I flex it.

0:48:49.840 --> 0:48:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes you flex your hand because because it's nutsy.

0:48:53.480 --> 0:48:56.000
<v Speaker 3>That's what I had to do to for physical therapy,

0:48:56.080 --> 0:48:58.319
<v Speaker 3>and I do do it. So I think there's a

0:48:58.320 --> 0:49:00.600
<v Speaker 3>little bit too what Joe Burrow said, maybe just a

0:49:00.640 --> 0:49:02.560
<v Speaker 3>little maybe not if.

0:49:02.440 --> 0:49:04.920
<v Speaker 2>You were you done so you have you have an

0:49:05.000 --> 0:49:07.880
<v Speaker 2>NFL caliber quality right hand, is what you're saying, not

0:49:08.040 --> 0:49:11.080
<v Speaker 2>just kidding. It's some for me. I don't know how

0:49:11.080 --> 0:49:13.560
<v Speaker 2>it can be blowed if the Dolphins isn't blowed, so

0:49:13.880 --> 0:49:15.120
<v Speaker 2>some for me for the Bengals.

0:49:15.160 --> 0:49:17.400
<v Speaker 3>That's why when Tody Pollard broke his fibula, I'm like,

0:49:17.480 --> 0:49:19.120
<v Speaker 3>I know that injury. I can tell you how it

0:49:19.160 --> 0:49:22.040
<v Speaker 3>works with this caliber of athlete.

0:49:22.200 --> 0:49:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Same caliber. You're a professional caliber, right is what I

0:49:28.280 --> 0:49:31.960
<v Speaker 1>what I lean from all of this. All fingers Scott,

0:49:32.280 --> 0:49:34.600
<v Speaker 1>what's the appropriate level of concern for the Bengals offense.

0:49:34.640 --> 0:49:37.160
<v Speaker 3>I'm glad you repeated the question because it's been so long.

0:49:37.920 --> 0:49:40.759
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to some Dan Orlovsky said it best. He

0:49:40.800 --> 0:49:43.080
<v Speaker 3>said their scheme is broken. It depends on two star

0:49:43.120 --> 0:49:45.840
<v Speaker 3>wide receivers. As we know U T. Higgins has that

0:49:45.920 --> 0:49:49.399
<v Speaker 3>lingering hamstring injury. They take out one, the d can

0:49:49.440 --> 0:49:52.880
<v Speaker 3>cover the other, and and they're rushing quicker. The Burrow

0:49:52.920 --> 0:49:54.959
<v Speaker 3>has to get the ball out fast and check down.

0:49:55.360 --> 0:49:57.560
<v Speaker 3>Taylor's play calling isn't making up for that. And by

0:49:57.560 --> 0:50:00.759
<v Speaker 3>the way, and aside to Taylor's play calling mixing, was

0:50:00.880 --> 0:50:03.239
<v Speaker 3>I mentioned this in the preseason? They kept running him

0:50:03.239 --> 0:50:05.960
<v Speaker 3>into the middle, Yeah, middle of the line, maybe like

0:50:06.080 --> 0:50:08.520
<v Speaker 3>we see him in Houston. Maybe maybe it was Zack

0:50:08.560 --> 0:50:11.640
<v Speaker 3>Taylor's play line. So there's definitely some even when Higgins

0:50:11.640 --> 0:50:12.360
<v Speaker 3>comes back.

0:50:13.800 --> 0:50:16.279
<v Speaker 1>I got some as well. You know the why the

0:50:16.360 --> 0:50:18.320
<v Speaker 1>why does the Bengals start slow every years?

0:50:18.520 --> 0:50:18.680
<v Speaker 3>Oh?

0:50:18.760 --> 0:50:22.160
<v Speaker 1>Every year? At the last two seasons, they've you know,

0:50:22.280 --> 0:50:24.840
<v Speaker 1>he's they have started slow. Last year. As a reminder,

0:50:24.960 --> 0:50:27.759
<v Speaker 1>Joe Burrow the first four weeks of the season was

0:50:27.840 --> 0:50:33.279
<v Speaker 1>fantasy quarterback thirty one wow. And then after week four

0:50:33.960 --> 0:50:37.800
<v Speaker 1>until he had the season ending uh wrist surgery and break.

0:50:37.880 --> 0:50:39.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. It was like a week ten or

0:50:39.320 --> 0:50:43.719
<v Speaker 1>eleven or something. He was quarterback six, quarterback six. I

0:50:43.760 --> 0:50:46.080
<v Speaker 1>had a C. J. Stroud and Lamar Jackson and Patrick

0:50:46.080 --> 0:50:48.239
<v Speaker 1>Mahomes and obviously T Higgins is going to come back,

0:50:48.320 --> 0:50:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Lamar Chase is going to knock the rust off. But

0:50:50.000 --> 0:50:52.200
<v Speaker 1>most here's the most important reason why it's only some

0:50:53.400 --> 0:50:57.359
<v Speaker 1>the schedule here after this Turkey game in Kansas City,

0:50:57.400 --> 0:51:02.160
<v Speaker 1>which I don't I don't like Washington Carol Lina Tougher

0:51:02.200 --> 0:51:04.719
<v Speaker 1>running Baltimore, and then the Giants, three of the next

0:51:04.800 --> 0:51:07.360
<v Speaker 1>four might be three of the five easiest.

0:51:07.080 --> 0:51:08.160
<v Speaker 3>Defenses in the league.

0:51:08.200 --> 0:51:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so I like I think the I think the

0:51:10.480 --> 0:51:11.279
<v Speaker 1>turnarounds coming.

0:51:11.440 --> 0:51:12.680
<v Speaker 3>Sure. Tough.

0:51:12.800 --> 0:51:14.520
<v Speaker 2>Question number three.

0:51:14.680 --> 0:51:18.520
<v Speaker 1>What's the appropriate level of concern for the Chicago offense?

0:51:19.000 --> 0:51:19.440
<v Speaker 2>None?

0:51:19.760 --> 0:51:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Some or a bowel loosening level of existential drive? Scott,

0:51:22.880 --> 0:51:23.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm going some.

0:51:23.640 --> 0:51:25.040
<v Speaker 3>By the way, do you like it? I'm answering you

0:51:25.120 --> 0:51:27.759
<v Speaker 3>right away, and then I'm giving either the rest yes,

0:51:28.040 --> 0:51:31.799
<v Speaker 3>normally You're like, so is it? I'm going to some.

0:51:32.040 --> 0:51:34.520
<v Speaker 3>This was a rookies first first game, I know, is

0:51:34.560 --> 0:51:36.959
<v Speaker 3>a terrible first half, and the second half years bailed

0:51:37.000 --> 0:51:39.160
<v Speaker 3>out by the defense and special teams. The numbers were

0:51:39.520 --> 0:51:43.280
<v Speaker 3>really bad. His aggressive throw percentage was eighth worst, sixth

0:51:43.360 --> 0:51:49.560
<v Speaker 3>worst pass worst passer rating, second shortest completed air distance

0:51:49.640 --> 0:51:52.879
<v Speaker 3>throw only. He's only one. He's one of just two

0:51:52.960 --> 0:51:55.239
<v Speaker 3>qbs that have had twenty five plus pass tempts and

0:51:55.320 --> 0:51:57.480
<v Speaker 3>less than one hundred yards in their debut, the other

0:51:57.560 --> 0:52:01.719
<v Speaker 3>being Desmond Ritter. The run was just non existent for him.

0:52:02.000 --> 0:52:03.640
<v Speaker 3>I think more is coming. There was there was no

0:52:03.719 --> 0:52:06.400
<v Speaker 3>gunslinger mentality in his game, and he does have that.

0:52:06.440 --> 0:52:09.040
<v Speaker 3>He showed that in college and he really depended on

0:52:09.120 --> 0:52:11.239
<v Speaker 3>his would be there Keenan Allen with eleven targets. I

0:52:11.239 --> 0:52:13.000
<v Speaker 3>think I think it starts to change as he gets

0:52:13.040 --> 0:52:15.240
<v Speaker 3>more comfortable. So I'm just going to say some for now.

0:52:15.120 --> 0:52:17.799
<v Speaker 1>All Right, Brian, the appropriate level of concern for the

0:52:17.840 --> 0:52:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Chicago offense.

0:52:19.280 --> 0:52:22.760
<v Speaker 2>I've got none. It was a rookie struggling in his debut.

0:52:22.840 --> 0:52:24.600
<v Speaker 2>And yes, Kayla Williams is one of the most type

0:52:24.640 --> 0:52:28.000
<v Speaker 2>rookies since you know Andrew Luk, that type of player.

0:52:28.040 --> 0:52:31.479
<v Speaker 2>But Titans have a very good defense and Tod Todd

0:52:31.960 --> 0:52:36.560
<v Speaker 2>Scott touched on the special teams touchdown, and the Bears

0:52:36.560 --> 0:52:39.120
<v Speaker 2>also had a pick six both of those plays essentially

0:52:39.120 --> 0:52:41.080
<v Speaker 2>took the ball out of Kayleb Williams hands. He didn't

0:52:41.080 --> 0:52:43.480
<v Speaker 2>have those drives to try to, you know, score points.

0:52:43.480 --> 0:52:45.920
<v Speaker 2>So none for me. Titan's a good defense. I think

0:52:45.920 --> 0:52:47.399
<v Speaker 2>the Bears will bounce back pretty quick.

0:52:48.560 --> 0:52:51.399
<v Speaker 1>I've got some I almost went none on this, and

0:52:51.800 --> 0:52:54.480
<v Speaker 1>this was a it was a tricky one. I look

0:52:54.520 --> 0:52:56.200
<v Speaker 1>to see if the offensive line was a culprit, but

0:52:56.320 --> 0:52:58.400
<v Speaker 1>really they ranked middle of the pack in PFF grades

0:52:58.440 --> 0:53:00.560
<v Speaker 1>and ESPN's blocking ratings, so I don't think that was

0:53:00.600 --> 0:53:02.600
<v Speaker 1>the issue. I went back and watched all of Caleb

0:53:02.640 --> 0:53:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Williams throws. Again. He wasn't awful. He had some bad passes.

0:53:07.640 --> 0:53:09.799
<v Speaker 1>He just looked. He looked like a raw rookie to me.

0:53:09.840 --> 0:53:12.160
<v Speaker 1>And he had one great pass, a laser thrown on

0:53:12.239 --> 0:53:14.719
<v Speaker 1>the run at the sideline to DJ Moore. But he

0:53:14.760 --> 0:53:17.239
<v Speaker 1>also had a touchdown dropped by Keenan Allen that would

0:53:17.239 --> 0:53:20.880
<v Speaker 1>have helped his box score. A lot too many tip passes.

0:53:21.040 --> 0:53:23.360
<v Speaker 1>Maybe that's something he can get better on. But here's

0:53:23.360 --> 0:53:26.719
<v Speaker 1>why I'm really I'm most optimistic. The Bears fourth place

0:53:26.800 --> 0:53:28.759
<v Speaker 1>schedule is going to kick in after this week when

0:53:28.800 --> 0:53:30.760
<v Speaker 1>they face Houston. This is gonna be a tricky matchup

0:53:30.800 --> 0:53:33.920
<v Speaker 1>against Houston. We'll talk about it in a minute after

0:53:34.000 --> 0:53:37.120
<v Speaker 1>this Houston game. This is probably the toughest game left

0:53:37.120 --> 0:53:40.320
<v Speaker 1>on their whole schedule they're gonna have between now and Halloween.

0:53:40.320 --> 0:53:44.000
<v Speaker 1>They get Carolina, Washington, Arizona. This is there are some easy,

0:53:44.040 --> 0:53:46.200
<v Speaker 1>easy games coming up for the Bears, and I think

0:53:46.200 --> 0:53:49.400
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna end up righting the ship. But still some concern.

0:53:49.520 --> 0:53:51.400
<v Speaker 1>I think we all thought they would start the start,

0:53:52.160 --> 0:53:54.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, things would be better early. But I think

0:53:54.480 --> 0:53:56.480
<v Speaker 1>that the stroles in week one. I think they struggle

0:53:56.560 --> 0:53:59.560
<v Speaker 1>here in week two, and then after that it probably

0:53:59.560 --> 0:54:03.040
<v Speaker 1>gets better. Some correct answer for tough question three, let's

0:54:03.080 --> 0:54:05.359
<v Speaker 1>go to uh, you know what, maybe I go right

0:54:05.360 --> 0:54:06.920
<v Speaker 1>to that, Matt, Do I have that matchup? I do?

0:54:07.680 --> 0:54:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Why not? You know we never shuffled.

0:54:09.520 --> 0:54:10.719
<v Speaker 2>It's a great segue, let me know it.

0:54:11.360 --> 0:54:11.600
<v Speaker 3>Why not?

0:54:11.800 --> 0:54:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Sunday night game Bears Texans called the audible. Yeah, I'm

0:54:14.200 --> 0:54:17.480
<v Speaker 1>going to do it. I've got two starting grades on

0:54:17.520 --> 0:54:20.640
<v Speaker 1>the Bears. DJ Moore comes out of the C grade.

0:54:21.000 --> 0:54:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Roma Dunesay hurt Alan is hurt Uh. Moore is going

0:54:24.080 --> 0:54:26.239
<v Speaker 1>to get a lot of attention from both teams in

0:54:26.280 --> 0:54:29.600
<v Speaker 1>this one. The Texans allowed the second fewest wide receiver

0:54:29.680 --> 0:54:32.920
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns last year, and it is a good secondary spearheaded

0:54:32.920 --> 0:54:37.719
<v Speaker 1>by cornerback Darryl Stingley. And yes, the Houston Texans got

0:54:37.760 --> 0:54:40.279
<v Speaker 1>stung by Alec Pierce twice on long bombs, but as

0:54:40.280 --> 0:54:42.799
<v Speaker 1>a reminder from earlier in the game, they only gave

0:54:42.880 --> 0:54:47.040
<v Speaker 1>up nine completions in the whole game, So I still

0:54:47.080 --> 0:54:48.719
<v Speaker 1>think there's a good defense. And I can only get

0:54:48.760 --> 0:54:50.960
<v Speaker 1>you to a C grade on DJ Moore, who actually

0:54:51.000 --> 0:54:55.440
<v Speaker 1>like less with the Dunsay and Alan hurt others, and

0:54:55.480 --> 0:54:57.760
<v Speaker 1>we're not going to start Dunesay and Alan both questionable.

0:54:57.960 --> 0:55:00.800
<v Speaker 1>Alan didn't practice all week. It's a difficult but Dunes

0:55:00.840 --> 0:55:02.879
<v Speaker 1>they might go, probably not, So we're just gonna avoid

0:55:02.960 --> 0:55:04.680
<v Speaker 1>that until those guys are healthier. And we know that

0:55:04.800 --> 0:55:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Caleb Williams and is an NFL caliber starter, which we're

0:55:08.640 --> 0:55:11.239
<v Speaker 1>not necessarily there yet. And speaking of Caleb, you got

0:55:11.320 --> 0:55:13.520
<v Speaker 1>to leave him on the bench the two injured receivers,

0:55:13.560 --> 0:55:17.839
<v Speaker 1>the tough opponent, and frustratingly only five designed runs for him,

0:55:17.840 --> 0:55:21.680
<v Speaker 1>which I did not like very much. You know, Caleb's

0:55:21.680 --> 0:55:23.600
<v Speaker 1>a good runner. I wanted to see him get more

0:55:23.600 --> 0:55:25.799
<v Speaker 1>looks in the running game. We didn't get him here.

0:55:26.200 --> 0:55:28.840
<v Speaker 1>He did not complete a pass longer than thirteen yards

0:55:28.920 --> 0:55:31.759
<v Speaker 1>last week. DeAndre Swift comes in with a C grade.

0:55:31.760 --> 0:55:35.239
<v Speaker 1>The Bears offensive line looked inconsistent last week. Swift only

0:55:35.360 --> 0:55:38.160
<v Speaker 1>ran for three yards per carry. The Texans shut down

0:55:38.239 --> 0:55:40.680
<v Speaker 1>Jonathan Taylor last week, holding him to just three yards

0:55:40.680 --> 0:55:44.680
<v Speaker 1>per carry. Swift ran twenty routes last week, so we're

0:55:44.680 --> 0:55:47.160
<v Speaker 1>hoping he catches a few passes even though he didn't

0:55:47.200 --> 0:55:50.279
<v Speaker 1>catch any last week. Maybe he'll be more active in

0:55:50.320 --> 0:55:52.520
<v Speaker 1>the passing game. I've got a C grade on him.

0:55:52.840 --> 0:55:55.799
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the Houston side. Bears defense is good.

0:55:56.360 --> 0:55:58.120
<v Speaker 1>I had a lot of trouble figuring this one out.

0:55:58.200 --> 0:56:00.800
<v Speaker 1>Nico Collins still comes in with an A grade. Normally

0:56:00.800 --> 0:56:03.880
<v Speaker 1>I'd worry about shadow coverage from star cornerback Jalen Johnson,

0:56:03.920 --> 0:56:05.600
<v Speaker 1>but with Stefan Diggs and Tank Dell on the team,

0:56:05.680 --> 0:56:08.440
<v Speaker 1>Johnson can't afford to blanket any one player here, and

0:56:08.520 --> 0:56:11.840
<v Speaker 1>Collins had a terrific Week one, leading the Texans and targets, receptions,

0:56:11.840 --> 0:56:15.520
<v Speaker 1>and air yards. A grade for Nico Collins. Yes, I've

0:56:15.560 --> 0:56:18.000
<v Speaker 1>got a B grade on Digs and Dell. Let's talk

0:56:18.000 --> 0:56:20.440
<v Speaker 1>to them through. Diggs mostly ran from the slot in

0:56:20.480 --> 0:56:23.400
<v Speaker 1>Week one. That would put him on Bear's cornerback Tyler Gordon,

0:56:23.440 --> 0:56:26.480
<v Speaker 1>who's an above average slot corner by no means dominating

0:56:26.560 --> 0:56:30.000
<v Speaker 1>or shut down. Digs scored twice last week, but we'll

0:56:30.000 --> 0:56:33.400
<v Speaker 1>note that Diggs is a dot. Yeah one point seven yards.

0:56:33.480 --> 0:56:36.120
<v Speaker 3>He did have one pass play that was a designed

0:56:36.239 --> 0:56:38.879
<v Speaker 3>negative ten yard a dot, so that didn't help.

0:56:39.040 --> 0:56:42.239
<v Speaker 1>Did they throw negative ten yards to him? How do

0:56:42.280 --> 0:56:42.759
<v Speaker 1>you do that?

0:56:43.040 --> 0:56:43.520
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:56:43.640 --> 0:56:47.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't either, So I still like Digs enough to

0:56:47.760 --> 0:56:49.600
<v Speaker 1>give him a B grade in this one tank. Dell

0:56:50.200 --> 0:56:52.880
<v Speaker 1>felt like the odd man out last week, and he

0:56:52.920 --> 0:56:56.120
<v Speaker 1>had almost the exact same usage numbers though as Digs

0:56:56.120 --> 0:56:58.640
<v Speaker 1>and Collins, so it wasn't really the odd man out.

0:56:58.920 --> 0:57:01.719
<v Speaker 1>I expect it'll mostly get cornerback Tyreek Stevenson, which is

0:57:01.719 --> 0:57:04.040
<v Speaker 1>the weakest link in the Bear secondary. He was Pro

0:57:04.080 --> 0:57:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Football Focuses cornerback eighty nine last year. So still optimistic

0:57:09.440 --> 0:57:11.520
<v Speaker 1>about Dell and I'm still giving him a B grade.

0:57:12.040 --> 0:57:15.400
<v Speaker 1>So one other receiver to get to Dalton Schultz. Chicago

0:57:15.520 --> 0:57:17.600
<v Speaker 1>was a bad tight end defense last year. They allowed

0:57:17.640 --> 0:57:19.880
<v Speaker 1>the fourth most tight end receptions, the fifth most tight

0:57:19.960 --> 0:57:22.640
<v Speaker 1>end yards and then the opener, Chickakongo scored a touchdown.

0:57:22.960 --> 0:57:25.400
<v Speaker 1>So Dalton Schultz, if you're need kind of a dart

0:57:25.400 --> 0:57:28.000
<v Speaker 1>throw tight end, he's your guy. C grade there. So

0:57:28.080 --> 0:57:30.120
<v Speaker 1>I've given you an A grade, two b's, and a

0:57:30.160 --> 0:57:31.680
<v Speaker 1>C grade. So I got to like the c. J.

0:57:31.800 --> 0:57:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Stroud as well. He's got He comes in with a

0:57:34.640 --> 0:57:37.880
<v Speaker 1>B grade. Now, the Bears dominated Will Levis in Week one.

0:57:37.880 --> 0:57:40.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying not to overreact to that, but they have

0:57:40.400 --> 0:57:43.960
<v Speaker 1>the number one pass rush per ESPN's pass rush win rate.

0:57:44.000 --> 0:57:46.840
<v Speaker 1>After a week they ranked fourth by Pro Football Focus

0:57:46.840 --> 0:57:50.000
<v Speaker 1>in pass rush, and the Houston offensive line did not

0:57:50.040 --> 0:57:52.960
<v Speaker 1>look great. They give up five stacks on Stroud, so

0:57:53.160 --> 0:57:55.680
<v Speaker 1>I do have some concern about them losing the line

0:57:55.680 --> 0:57:57.680
<v Speaker 1>of scrimmage. I can't get you to an A grade

0:57:57.720 --> 0:58:00.600
<v Speaker 1>on CJ. Stroud all, even with all the weapons he's

0:58:00.600 --> 0:58:03.760
<v Speaker 1>got around him. But all those weapons so in totalities

0:58:03.800 --> 0:58:05.480
<v Speaker 1>still are so good. We're going to keep the B

0:58:05.600 --> 0:58:08.160
<v Speaker 1>grade on c. J. Stroud and then that leaves us

0:58:08.320 --> 0:58:12.080
<v Speaker 1>just with Joe Mixon. The Bears were a dominating run

0:58:12.120 --> 0:58:15.800
<v Speaker 1>defense last year. Although Tony Pollard had some success last week,

0:58:16.160 --> 0:58:21.320
<v Speaker 1>still liked him what I saw from him. Five yards

0:58:21.320 --> 0:58:24.960
<v Speaker 1>per carry for Tony Pollard against this same team. Mixing

0:58:25.000 --> 0:58:28.280
<v Speaker 1>is all about volume. Thirty carries in the opener, Yeah,

0:58:28.360 --> 0:58:30.760
<v Speaker 1>and you give me, you give anybody thirty carries. I'm

0:58:30.800 --> 0:58:35.480
<v Speaker 1>interested in him. Be great and they k back. Reporters

0:58:35.600 --> 0:58:39.760
<v Speaker 1>asked whether or not Joe Mixon could sustain that workload.

0:58:40.040 --> 0:58:42.200
<v Speaker 1>Coaches like, yeah, we're gonna keep giving him the ball,

0:58:42.080 --> 0:58:43.600
<v Speaker 1>but that's gonna be his deal. He's going to be

0:58:43.640 --> 0:58:44.480
<v Speaker 1>our workhorse.

0:58:44.120 --> 0:58:47.000
<v Speaker 3>Pickup events and you might live in there, you might,

0:58:47.080 --> 0:58:53.760
<v Speaker 3>you might win. No bakers, I was thinking that Connor

0:58:53.920 --> 0:58:56.200
<v Speaker 3>at some point he's going to deal with Connor. Honestly,

0:58:56.280 --> 0:58:57.200
<v Speaker 3>the amount he got.

0:58:57.120 --> 0:58:59.040
<v Speaker 1>I kind of hear you on that. When we come

0:58:59.080 --> 0:59:03.480

<v Speaker 1>beginning with Scott fish Bucks take on the Lions.

1:00:20.560 --> 1:00:21.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you're dead right.

1:00:21.680 --> 1:00:23.720
<v Speaker 1>It's a start everybody game, right. It's just a matter

1:00:23.720 --> 1:00:24.640
<v Speaker 1>of what the letter grades are.

1:00:24.800 --> 1:00:26.880
<v Speaker 3>So I'm not starting Kate.

1:00:26.680 --> 1:00:30.120
<v Speaker 1>On Okay, there's your one random.

1:00:29.880 --> 1:00:31.720
<v Speaker 3>Route on eighty to eight percent of drop backs. He

1:00:31.800 --> 1:00:35.080
<v Speaker 3>got one catch. I got him on the bench. But yeah,

1:00:35.200 --> 1:00:37.640
<v Speaker 3>Baker Mayfield was my take a chance on me quarterback.

1:00:37.640 --> 1:00:40.040
<v Speaker 3>I actually had a B grade on him. Jalen McMillan

1:00:40.120 --> 1:00:41.960
<v Speaker 3>was your take a chance on me wide receiver. I

1:00:42.000 --> 1:00:45.200
<v Speaker 3>had a C grade on him. Mike Evans and Chris

1:00:45.200 --> 1:00:49.320
<v Speaker 3>Godwin I got A and B grades on respectively. Mike

1:00:49.400 --> 1:00:52.200
<v Speaker 3>Evans has averaged seven for one to twenty six and

1:00:52.240 --> 1:00:56.400
<v Speaker 3>a score in the last three Lions games they've They've

1:00:56.400 --> 1:00:59.320
<v Speaker 3>all been shootouts. In fact, Four of the last six

1:00:59.360 --> 1:01:01.760
<v Speaker 3>games between these two have been shootout. They must love

1:01:01.800 --> 1:01:04.720
<v Speaker 3>shooting out with each other. So I have an A

1:01:04.840 --> 1:01:07.640
<v Speaker 3>grade on Evans, who's also the the red zone guy,

1:01:07.640 --> 1:01:11.560
<v Speaker 3>the guy that scores more Chris Godwin. The Lions are

1:01:11.560 --> 1:01:14.200
<v Speaker 3>the worst in the league against wide receivers and worst

1:01:14.240 --> 1:01:18.760
<v Speaker 3>against the slot. Granted that that was all Cooper Cup

1:01:19.240 --> 1:01:21.400
<v Speaker 3>a lot of that was, but it doesn't change that

1:01:21.480 --> 1:01:24.360
<v Speaker 3>Godwin was second in snaps first and targets, receptions and

1:01:24.480 --> 1:01:27.080
<v Speaker 3>yards and scored last week. He's a focal point in

1:01:27.120 --> 1:01:29.120
<v Speaker 3>that offense now that he's back in the slot as well.

1:01:29.320 --> 1:01:29.800
<v Speaker 2>B grade.

1:01:29.800 --> 1:01:32.680
<v Speaker 3>I could have given it him an A over to

1:01:32.960 --> 1:01:35.320
<v Speaker 3>the running backs, I gave Bucky Irving and take a

1:01:35.400 --> 1:01:38.400
<v Speaker 3>chance on me running back Rashad White, I'm also given

1:01:38.440 --> 1:01:42.640
<v Speaker 3>a see. He wasn't super super effective, but he had

1:01:42.680 --> 1:01:46.680
<v Speaker 3>sixty two point five percent rush share, a number he

1:01:46.800 --> 1:01:49.360
<v Speaker 3>dip below just once last year, so clearly Bucky is

1:01:49.760 --> 1:01:53.480
<v Speaker 3>getting some work there. The Lions did hold a far

1:01:53.520 --> 1:01:55.960
<v Speaker 3>more dynamic Kyron Williams to his worst game as a

1:01:56.000 --> 1:01:59.520
<v Speaker 3>starter last week, but Rashad White's getting a seventy thirty

1:01:59.560 --> 1:02:01.640
<v Speaker 3>share and it's one hundred percent of the red zone work,

1:02:01.680 --> 1:02:04.000
<v Speaker 3>and we already know he's a bass catcher, so C

1:02:04.200 --> 1:02:07.480
<v Speaker 3>grade there over to the lion's side. A lot of

1:02:07.520 --> 1:02:09.880
<v Speaker 3>starts here too. I have a B grade on Jared Goff.

1:02:09.880 --> 1:02:12.280
<v Speaker 3>You could have talked me into an A. But averaged

1:02:12.320 --> 1:02:14.480
<v Speaker 3>over three hundred yards and two scores per game in

1:02:14.480 --> 1:02:16.680
<v Speaker 3>the last two matchups in this as we already talked about.

1:02:16.720 --> 1:02:19.880
<v Speaker 3>They were both shot outs anyway, barely cross two hundred

1:02:19.960 --> 1:02:21.919
<v Speaker 3>last week, and the running backs did all the work

1:02:22.040 --> 1:02:26.320
<v Speaker 3>scoring outside of and whatnot. Outside of one Jamison Williams touchdown.

1:02:26.560 --> 1:02:29.320
<v Speaker 3>Jamison could have had a second just saying this is

1:02:29.400 --> 1:02:32.000
<v Speaker 3>likely a higher scoring game. Highest over under of the

1:02:32.040 --> 1:02:34.800
<v Speaker 3>week might mean an extra score and some more yards

1:02:34.800 --> 1:02:36.920
<v Speaker 3>from golf. That puts him in the two fifty maybe

1:02:36.920 --> 1:02:39.480
<v Speaker 3>two touchdown range. That's a B maybe an A if

1:02:39.520 --> 1:02:43.040
<v Speaker 3>things go well. Jameson Williams, he's gonna come in with

1:02:43.160 --> 1:02:45.600
<v Speaker 3>questionable with an ankle, but he played on it after

1:02:45.640 --> 1:02:47.200
<v Speaker 3>he got hurt. They taped it up. He played on

1:02:47.240 --> 1:02:51.040
<v Speaker 3>it last week too. B grade here led the team

1:02:51.080 --> 1:02:56.960
<v Speaker 3>in receptions and yards while being targeted nine times, nine

1:02:57.520 --> 1:03:01.200
<v Speaker 3>second in snap's second highest of rate of first read

1:03:01.280 --> 1:03:04.240
<v Speaker 3>targets in the NFL. They he was consistently the primary

1:03:04.320 --> 1:03:07.680
<v Speaker 3>read in that offense. Last week, uh second in the

1:03:07.800 --> 1:03:10.480
<v Speaker 3>NFL in yards after the catch per reception. So when

1:03:10.480 --> 1:03:13.120
<v Speaker 3>he caught the ball, he got thirteen point seven yards

1:03:13.200 --> 1:03:16.280
<v Speaker 3>after the catch, which is a ridiculous, really nice. Yeah,

1:03:16.280 --> 1:03:18.440
<v Speaker 3>the off season drum beats seemed legit, and he'll see

1:03:18.440 --> 1:03:20.560
<v Speaker 3>a lot of Jamal Dean, who's been solid, if not

1:03:20.640 --> 1:03:23.479
<v Speaker 3>great for years. So just to just to b grade there,

1:03:23.760 --> 1:03:26.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm on Ross Saint Brown. I'm going back to the base.

1:03:26.280 --> 1:03:30.160
<v Speaker 3>It's it's the bounce back. Top paid stud safety Antoine

1:03:30.200 --> 1:03:32.720
<v Speaker 3>Winfields out. The quarterback that would have covered him, Bryce

1:03:32.800 --> 1:03:36.520
<v Speaker 3>Hall is out. Yeah. So and last last week they

1:03:36.520 --> 1:03:40.000
<v Speaker 3>did hold wide Washington wide receivers down, but they're missing

1:03:40.200 --> 1:03:43.360
<v Speaker 3>several several options from that second secondary. He's going to

1:03:43.400 --> 1:03:46.880
<v Speaker 3>get rookie Tykey Smith in his second career game. Yes,

1:03:47.680 --> 1:03:50.160
<v Speaker 3>So a grade on I'm on Ross Saint Brown. A

1:03:50.280 --> 1:03:53.520
<v Speaker 3>grade on Sam Laporter, who I also think bounced back somehow.

1:03:53.560 --> 1:03:57.720
<v Speaker 3>His four catches for forty five yards was fourth last week.

1:03:59.000 --> 1:04:01.360
<v Speaker 3>I saw the yardage out of the tight ends last

1:04:01.360 --> 1:04:03.240
<v Speaker 3>week was like the worst than twenty plus years or

1:04:03.280 --> 1:04:08.520
<v Speaker 3>something like that. If Dean helps lockdown jameson at least

1:04:08.520 --> 1:04:10.919
<v Speaker 3>some laporters should get back to normal with a few

1:04:10.960 --> 1:04:14.160
<v Speaker 3>extra targets. Over to the running game, A grade on

1:04:14.200 --> 1:04:18.160
<v Speaker 3>Gibbs and a B grame on Montgomery. The Bucks allowed

1:04:18.200 --> 1:04:20.560
<v Speaker 3>seven catches for one hundred and one yards to backs

1:04:20.640 --> 1:04:23.920
<v Speaker 3>last week. That's mostly Gibbs his game, and Gibbs played

1:04:23.960 --> 1:04:27.800
<v Speaker 3>one more snap than Montgomery. I think Montgomery, I think

1:04:27.840 --> 1:04:29.600
<v Speaker 3>he's the A grade because he's going to get more

1:04:29.640 --> 1:04:32.080
<v Speaker 3>work early in the pass catching work and they kind

1:04:32.080 --> 1:04:35.000
<v Speaker 3>of split three to two of the inside the ten rushes.

1:04:35.840 --> 1:04:37.960
<v Speaker 3>David Montgomery gets the B grade because he did have

1:04:38.040 --> 1:04:40.720
<v Speaker 3>more touches than Montgomery, and I do think if this

1:04:40.880 --> 1:04:43.160
<v Speaker 3>is the kind of game that's the shootout, a lot

1:04:43.200 --> 1:04:45.400
<v Speaker 3>of offense, a lot more touches to be had, a

1:04:45.440 --> 1:04:47.880
<v Speaker 3>lot more opportunities to be had, So Montgomery with a

1:04:47.960 --> 1:04:48.440
<v Speaker 3>B grade.

1:04:48.520 --> 1:04:51.000
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's go to the Steelers taking on the Broncos.

1:04:51.000 --> 1:04:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Brian and I'm going to start here. Specifically, we didn't

1:04:53.560 --> 1:04:55.640
<v Speaker 1>know what Arthur Smith was going to do to mess

1:04:55.720 --> 1:04:58.840
<v Speaker 1>up this offense, but now we know Jalen Warren fairly

1:04:59.000 --> 1:05:02.240
<v Speaker 1>on the field. In week number one, I'd like to

1:05:02.240 --> 1:05:05.200
<v Speaker 1>start with the Steelers running backs, and tell me what

1:05:05.240 --> 1:05:08.280
<v Speaker 1>you expect from these two guys, Naji Harris Jalen Warren.

1:05:08.760 --> 1:05:12.920
<v Speaker 2>Uh yeah, let's start there. Naji Harris, he was he

1:05:13.440 --> 1:05:17.400
<v Speaker 2>was basically a bellcow. In week one, he saw twice

1:05:17.440 --> 1:05:20.640
<v Speaker 2>as many snaps as Jalen Warren and ten times as

1:05:20.680 --> 1:05:25.120
<v Speaker 2>many carries I mean twenty to two Jalen Warren. Cord

1:05:25.240 --> 1:05:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Erol Patterson had twice as many carries as Jalen Warren.

1:05:28.400 --> 1:05:30.000
<v Speaker 3>In fairness to Warren, he came in hurt and they

1:05:30.040 --> 1:05:30.800
<v Speaker 3>were gonna use him.

1:05:30.680 --> 1:05:33.600
<v Speaker 2>In Yes, I think that was a little but I

1:05:34.360 --> 1:05:36.680
<v Speaker 2>still like Dalen Warren, but not this week. He's on

1:05:36.720 --> 1:05:39.160
<v Speaker 2>the bench. Naji Harris gets to see and if you

1:05:39.200 --> 1:05:41.720
<v Speaker 2>needed to know, cord Aerol Patterson also on the bench.

1:05:42.280 --> 1:05:44.800
<v Speaker 2>Over the wide receivers starting with more bench grades, and

1:05:44.840 --> 1:05:48.240
<v Speaker 2>really the only wide receiver were worth talking about, that's

1:05:48.240 --> 1:05:50.840
<v Speaker 2>George Pickens. He's going to draw a ton of coverage

1:05:50.840 --> 1:05:55.320
<v Speaker 2>from Patrick's artan who basically erases opposing number one wide receivers,

1:05:55.440 --> 1:05:58.280
<v Speaker 2>especially when the number one wide receiver is the only

1:05:58.360 --> 1:06:01.080
<v Speaker 2>viable white out on the team, as Jorge Pickens is

1:06:01.080 --> 1:06:03.400
<v Speaker 2>for Pittsburgh. So he was on the bench. We're not

1:06:03.480 --> 1:06:07.280
<v Speaker 2>gonna go Van Jefferson, Calvin Austin, Rookie Roman Wilson might

1:06:07.280 --> 1:06:09.240
<v Speaker 2>make his debut with our all on the bench. I

1:06:09.240 --> 1:06:11.479
<v Speaker 2>will give Pat Fryer muth a C grade. Though Mouth

1:06:11.560 --> 1:06:14.840
<v Speaker 2>took eighty four percent of his snaps out wide last week.

1:06:15.120 --> 1:06:17.480
<v Speaker 2>That's great, most among tight ends. Scott hooked me with

1:06:17.520 --> 1:06:19.960
<v Speaker 2>that stat. I appreciate that. And last season the Broncos

1:06:20.040 --> 1:06:22.960
<v Speaker 2>allowed the third most catches and the most yards and

1:06:23.000 --> 1:06:25.400
<v Speaker 2>touchdowns to tight end. So like Mouth with the C

1:06:25.600 --> 1:06:27.920
<v Speaker 2>and Justin fields, was your take a chance on me

1:06:28.200 --> 1:06:30.040
<v Speaker 2>quarterback charge? I was going to give him a sea

1:06:30.080 --> 1:06:32.280
<v Speaker 2>as well. You got it with that rushing upside always

1:06:32.720 --> 1:06:36.320
<v Speaker 2>over to the Broncos, starting with their running bang, running

1:06:36.360 --> 1:06:40.600
<v Speaker 2>gang game. I got Javonte Williams on the bench. Pittsburgh

1:06:40.680 --> 1:06:43.520
<v Speaker 2>held the Falcons backs, primarily Bejon Robinson, to eighty nine

1:06:43.600 --> 1:06:46.720
<v Speaker 2>rushing yards in Week one. Williams gained only twenty three

1:06:46.760 --> 1:06:49.840
<v Speaker 2>yards on eight carries last week and saw just two targets.

1:06:49.840 --> 1:06:52.480
<v Speaker 2>That's why I like Julia McLoughlin more. He might take

1:06:52.480 --> 1:06:54.120
<v Speaker 2>a chance on me running back. I think he sees

1:06:54.320 --> 1:06:56.880
<v Speaker 2>five to six targets in this game. Hopefully, reels them

1:06:56.920 --> 1:07:00.440
<v Speaker 2>all in will be PPR viable and should be an

1:07:00.480 --> 1:07:02.360
<v Speaker 2>ugly game. And that's why the rest of the Broncos

1:07:02.400 --> 1:07:04.360
<v Speaker 2>on the bench. The only one we'll really get into

1:07:04.520 --> 1:07:07.600
<v Speaker 2>is Courtland Sutton. The Steelers have a scary secondary and

1:07:07.640 --> 1:07:11.600
<v Speaker 2>I can easily foresee Sutton having the same pathetic production

1:07:11.680 --> 1:07:14.600
<v Speaker 2>as Drake London had last week against the Steelers, if

1:07:14.640 --> 1:07:17.640
<v Speaker 2>not worse. Joey Porter Junior is a problem corner up

1:07:17.720 --> 1:07:19.520
<v Speaker 2>look for fantasy purposes.

1:07:19.880 --> 1:07:21.400
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, I mean this might be the

1:07:21.400 --> 1:07:22.440
<v Speaker 1>best defense in the NFL.

1:07:22.600 --> 1:07:24.440
<v Speaker 2>The Steelers, Yeah, and this is.

1:07:24.400 --> 1:07:27.080
<v Speaker 1>Gonna be a fantasy nights are unbelieved.

1:07:27.120 --> 1:07:27.280
<v Speaker 2>Yah.

1:07:27.320 --> 1:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>TJ. Watt just destroyed Kirk Cousins.

1:07:29.720 --> 1:07:31.920
<v Speaker 2>So I'm just not even gonna mention anyone else for

1:07:31.960 --> 1:07:33.880
<v Speaker 2>the Broncos. They're all on the bench too too.

1:07:34.120 --> 1:07:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Bengals chiefs, We've already talked about Joe Burrow and our

1:07:37.760 --> 1:07:39.640
<v Speaker 1>concern for him. I'm want to start with Jamar Chase

1:07:39.880 --> 1:07:44.040
<v Speaker 1>potentially a bit rusty still and without T Higgins, Chase

1:07:44.080 --> 1:07:46.600
<v Speaker 1>is going to draw shadow coverage from Trent McDuffie, who

1:07:46.680 --> 1:07:49.720
<v Speaker 1>frequently shadows, especially when there's not a proven number two

1:07:49.800 --> 1:07:52.880
<v Speaker 1>for the opposition. And with all due respect to Andre

1:07:53.200 --> 1:07:56.480
<v Speaker 1>Yoshi Vash, he's not a huge threat. And Trent McDuffie

1:07:56.560 --> 1:07:59.280
<v Speaker 1>is just gonna shadow Jamar Chase. McDuffie gave up twenty

1:07:59.320 --> 1:08:02.240
<v Speaker 1>two scoreless yards in his coverage against Baltimore last week.

1:08:02.600 --> 1:08:04.000
<v Speaker 1>I've got I can only get you to a B

1:08:04.120 --> 1:08:07.000
<v Speaker 1>grade on Jamar Chase, as awesome as he is. So

1:08:07.280 --> 1:08:10.400
<v Speaker 1>that really brings us to Joe Burrow. So many negative

1:08:10.400 --> 1:08:13.520
<v Speaker 1>factors here, No t Higgins Chase locked up, the water

1:08:13.520 --> 1:08:17.519
<v Speaker 1>bottle thing, the water hole, water bottle, the wrist flexing. Yeah,

1:08:17.560 --> 1:08:20.240
<v Speaker 1>I just I can't. I can't give you a starting

1:08:20.240 --> 1:08:22.519
<v Speaker 1>grade on Joe Burrow in this game. Then not enough

1:08:22.560 --> 1:08:26.200
<v Speaker 1>other good quality targets on this whole team. Chase Brown's

1:08:26.200 --> 1:08:28.519
<v Speaker 1>on the bench, he's the clear second banana, by the way,

1:08:28.520 --> 1:08:31.080
<v Speaker 1>do what we say second banana. Why isn't a second cum

1:08:31.160 --> 1:08:34.000
<v Speaker 1>quad or second Why is that the fruit of choice?

1:08:34.400 --> 1:08:34.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know.

1:08:34.920 --> 1:08:37.200
<v Speaker 2>I have never heard second banana. I thought you just

1:08:37.280 --> 1:08:38.639
<v Speaker 2>made second fiddle.

1:08:39.479 --> 1:08:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Second fiddles common too, But second banana is a thing,

1:08:42.000 --> 1:08:42.680
<v Speaker 1>really it is.

1:08:42.960 --> 1:08:44.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we've got independent.

1:08:44.080 --> 1:08:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Confirmation is in the second city Chicago, second city of Chicago.

1:08:48.000 --> 1:08:50.439
<v Speaker 1>That's not relevant to this. I don't think let's start

1:08:50.479 --> 1:08:51.599
<v Speaker 1>with that. Let's go to Zach Moss.

1:08:51.600 --> 1:08:53.160
<v Speaker 2>There's always money in the banana stand.

1:08:53.400 --> 1:08:55.439
<v Speaker 1>That is that is a fact. There's always money in

1:08:55.439 --> 1:08:58.360
<v Speaker 1>the banas. Don't set your banana stand on fire. We've

1:08:58.479 --> 1:09:00.840
<v Speaker 1>established that Zach Moss is the lead back and the

1:09:00.840 --> 1:09:03.960
<v Speaker 1>goal line back. He ran for four point nine yards

1:09:03.960 --> 1:09:06.840
<v Speaker 1>per carry last week, average to healthy two point eight

1:09:06.920 --> 1:09:10.759
<v Speaker 1>yards after contact. And I don't like the Cincinnati passing matchup,

1:09:10.760 --> 1:09:12.640
<v Speaker 1>as I just explained, So I think the Bengals are

1:09:12.640 --> 1:09:14.720
<v Speaker 1>going to try to run as much as they possibly

1:09:14.800 --> 1:09:16.800
<v Speaker 1>can in this one for as long as the game

1:09:16.880 --> 1:09:20.600
<v Speaker 1>script allows. When these teams matched up in Week seventeen

1:09:20.640 --> 1:09:24.320
<v Speaker 1>of last year, Joe Mixon ran the ball twenty one

1:09:24.439 --> 1:09:27.639
<v Speaker 1>times for the Bengals. That's about what I see coming

1:09:27.640 --> 1:09:30.040
<v Speaker 1>from Moss with a possible touchdown here in this game.

1:09:30.160 --> 1:09:32.320
<v Speaker 1>B grade on Zach Moss. Let's go over to the

1:09:32.680 --> 1:09:37.160
<v Speaker 1>chief side. Travis Kelcey and Isaiah Pacheco get a grades.

1:09:37.240 --> 1:09:39.400
<v Speaker 1>Just a couple of quick notes. No, Gray was a

1:09:39.400 --> 1:09:41.439
<v Speaker 1>factor last week, but he only ran ten routes. That's

1:09:41.439 --> 1:09:43.799
<v Speaker 1>probably not going to be a repeat there. And for Pacheco,

1:09:44.160 --> 1:09:47.240
<v Speaker 1>he follows Romandre Stevenson, who tore through the Bengals defense

1:09:47.320 --> 1:09:51.200
<v Speaker 1>last week, tallying twelve avoided tackles, so I like Isaiah

1:09:51.200 --> 1:09:54.519
<v Speaker 1>Pacheco in this game, A grade for him. Rashie Rice

1:09:54.640 --> 1:09:57.920
<v Speaker 1>heavily involved in the Chiefs offense, dominating all the other

1:09:57.960 --> 1:10:01.760
<v Speaker 1>wideouts with nine targets in week number one. He runs

1:10:01.800 --> 1:10:03.800
<v Speaker 1>half his plays from the slot, which puts him up

1:10:03.800 --> 1:10:07.439
<v Speaker 1>against cornerback Mike Hilton. Hilton's was good last year, didn't

1:10:07.479 --> 1:10:09.920
<v Speaker 1>give up a single touchdown in his coverage, So just

1:10:09.960 --> 1:10:12.800
<v Speaker 1>a B grade for she Rice for me in this game.

1:10:13.560 --> 1:10:18.559
<v Speaker 1>Hollywood Brown's season might be over, and that means Xavier

1:10:18.600 --> 1:10:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Worthy is going to turn into probably an every week's starter.

1:10:22.439 --> 1:10:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Here in cementsa starting grade for me in this game.

1:10:25.240 --> 1:10:28.000
<v Speaker 1>He had the electrifying debut in Week one, but his

1:10:28.120 --> 1:10:31.240
<v Speaker 1>production came on very few targets, so this turns into

1:10:31.280 --> 1:10:34.000
<v Speaker 1>a high risk, high reward situation for those that start

1:10:34.120 --> 1:10:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Xavier Worthy. He had just three targets thirteen percent of Mahomes'

1:10:38.080 --> 1:10:41.800
<v Speaker 1>throws only thirteen percent of Mahomes' throws. He also scored

1:10:41.840 --> 1:10:45.080
<v Speaker 1>on that run in week one, which is not very replicatable.

1:10:45.840 --> 1:10:48.280
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully the utilization goes up in his second start. Here,

1:10:48.320 --> 1:10:51.439
<v Speaker 1>I've got a B grade on Xavier Worthy and then, lastly,

1:10:51.720 --> 1:10:54.599
<v Speaker 1>last guy to talk about, Patrick Mahomes. Can't really get

1:10:54.600 --> 1:10:57.360
<v Speaker 1>a read on the twenty twenty fourth Cincinnati secondary based

1:10:57.360 --> 1:11:00.519
<v Speaker 1>on the limited play of Jacoby Brissett last week, but

1:11:00.560 --> 1:11:03.240
<v Speaker 1>they were a competence secondary last year and no opposing

1:11:03.320 --> 1:11:07.080
<v Speaker 1>quarterback top two touchdowns against Cincinnati all season, including when

1:11:07.080 --> 1:11:10.200
<v Speaker 1>these teams met in Week seventeen, and Patrick Mahomes just

1:11:10.240 --> 1:11:12.240
<v Speaker 1>had two hundred and forty five yards and one score,

1:11:12.560 --> 1:11:15.160
<v Speaker 1>So I've only got the B grade Patrick Mahomes.

1:11:15.160 --> 1:11:18.720
<v Speaker 3>Top banana and second banana originating from Burlesque Theater, a

1:11:18.840 --> 1:11:21.720
<v Speaker 3>very popular comedy skit where the leading com comedian was

1:11:21.720 --> 1:11:25.320
<v Speaker 3>given up banana by the second comedian after delivering a

1:11:25.320 --> 1:11:26.240
<v Speaker 3>funny punchline.

1:11:26.800 --> 1:11:28.920
<v Speaker 1>Now we know the answer, thank you. I asked, why

1:11:29.000 --> 1:11:30.000
<v Speaker 1>do we do the second banana?

1:11:30.080 --> 1:11:31.960
<v Speaker 2>You answer, I'm.

1:11:31.680 --> 1:11:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Gonna assume you didn't google it, that you just knew

1:11:33.479 --> 1:11:33.800
<v Speaker 1>that up.

1:11:35.439 --> 1:11:36.880
<v Speaker 3>Just do that when we come back.

1:11:37.439 --> 1:11:41.760
<v Speaker 1>The Fantasy Football Weekly time machine kicks in layers you

1:11:41.800 --> 1:11:45.080
<v Speaker 1>want to pick up before everybody else picks them up.

1:11:45.160 --> 1:12:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Next week, final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly. Thank you

1:12:11.000 --> 1:12:13.479
<v Speaker 1>for listening. We appreciate that you can get all my

1:12:13.560 --> 1:12:17.360
<v Speaker 1>player rankings available at fantasylife dot com, along with frankly

1:12:17.360 --> 1:12:19.880
<v Speaker 1>people who are better at it than I am. Lots

1:12:19.880 --> 1:12:25.439
<v Speaker 1>of tools and data available at fantasylife dot com. This

1:12:25.560 --> 1:12:27.519
<v Speaker 1>is a segment that we like to start with our

1:12:27.640 --> 1:12:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy Football weekly time machine. We call it three mature Speculation,

1:12:30.880 --> 1:12:32.320
<v Speaker 1>as we give you players you want to pick up

1:12:32.320 --> 1:12:34.800
<v Speaker 1>now that everybody's going to try to pick up next week,

1:12:35.280 --> 1:12:37.679
<v Speaker 1>but they're already on your team. Let's start with Scott.

1:12:38.080 --> 1:12:39.920
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna go with Tyler Johnson, who some of you

1:12:39.920 --> 1:12:41.639
<v Speaker 3>may have picked up this week, but he's still only

1:12:41.680 --> 1:12:45.240
<v Speaker 3>twenty six percent rostered according to Jordan Rodrieg and many

1:12:45.240 --> 1:12:47.840
<v Speaker 3>Beat reporters over there. For the Rams, he is the

1:12:47.880 --> 1:12:51.559
<v Speaker 3>backup to Puka Nikoua. DeMarcus Robinson's actually just a starter.

1:12:51.640 --> 1:12:55.800
<v Speaker 3>He's actually right stay starter. Yeah, Tyler Johnson is moving

1:12:55.840 --> 1:12:56.960
<v Speaker 3>into the Nikoua role.

1:12:57.560 --> 1:12:57.680
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

1:12:58.000 --> 1:13:00.360
<v Speaker 3>He was third in yards after the catch per exception

1:13:00.439 --> 1:13:04.520
<v Speaker 3>at just over thirteen yards this last week's five catches

1:13:04.840 --> 1:13:07.679
<v Speaker 3>on seven targets for seventy nine yards. If he does

1:13:07.760 --> 1:13:09.519
<v Speaker 3>take that role for the next four or five weeks.

1:13:09.560 --> 1:13:12.880
<v Speaker 3>They can't keep feeding Cooper cup twenty plus targets a game.

1:13:13.160 --> 1:13:16.280
<v Speaker 3>He's gonna get his, and especially in a game like this,

1:13:16.280 --> 1:13:18.439
<v Speaker 3>this could be a shootout, he might be worth the

1:13:18.520 --> 1:13:18.960
<v Speaker 3>dart throw.

1:13:19.160 --> 1:13:21.000
<v Speaker 1>All right, Brian, your premature speculation.

1:13:21.080 --> 1:13:24.240
<v Speaker 2>Player, I'm looking a little further ahead with mine. But

1:13:24.400 --> 1:13:27.599
<v Speaker 2>my player would not have qualified for this segment. Last week,

1:13:27.640 --> 1:13:31.479
<v Speaker 2>but after taking zero snaps in his debut, he was

1:13:31.600 --> 1:13:34.599
<v Speaker 2>mass dropped. And I'm talking about rookie running back Blake

1:13:34.720 --> 1:13:37.519
<v Speaker 2>Korum for the Rams, did not see the field. People

1:13:37.520 --> 1:13:39.800
<v Speaker 2>are expecting him to do the backup st you'll eat

1:13:39.840 --> 1:13:42.519
<v Speaker 2>into Kien Williams workload. That did not happen in the

1:13:42.520 --> 1:13:45.280
<v Speaker 2>first week, and people have gotten impatient already, and he's

1:13:45.280 --> 1:13:47.920
<v Speaker 2>been mass dropped. His ownership percentage is under fifty percent,

1:13:47.960 --> 1:13:51.200
<v Speaker 2>so we qualifies. And hey, Ronnie Rivers was the backup.

1:13:51.439 --> 1:13:53.439
<v Speaker 2>But if something were to happen to Kien Williams, I

1:13:53.439 --> 1:13:55.360
<v Speaker 2>don't think it's gonna be Ronnie Rivers Who's gonna be

1:13:55.400 --> 1:13:57.479
<v Speaker 2>the starting running back. It's going to be Blake corum

1:13:57.560 --> 1:14:01.120
<v Speaker 2>So an intriguing stash for me. People giving up on already.

1:14:01.320 --> 1:14:02.920
<v Speaker 2>I think that's a mistake. So go grab.

1:14:02.800 --> 1:14:05.880
<v Speaker 1>Him, David and Joku can miss a month with his

1:14:06.000 --> 1:14:10.639
<v Speaker 1>bad ankle. Jordan Aikins the only healthy tight tight end

1:14:10.640 --> 1:14:13.640
<v Speaker 1>on the entire Browns roster right now. They may have

1:14:13.640 --> 1:14:16.840
<v Speaker 1>to elevate a practice squad player for Sunday. Last week,

1:14:17.000 --> 1:14:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Aikins just walked right into in Djoku's role. He played

1:14:21.040 --> 1:14:24.839
<v Speaker 1>forty two snaps. He was targeted four times with three catches,

1:14:25.040 --> 1:14:27.479
<v Speaker 1>and Kevin Stefanski loves to throw to his tight ends.

1:14:27.920 --> 1:14:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Last year, Cleveland threw the third most tight end passes.

1:14:31.320 --> 1:14:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Stefanski ain't changing. Jordan Akan's gonna get a bunch of

1:14:34.680 --> 1:14:37.680
<v Speaker 1>action here. And by the way, he's got history with

1:14:37.720 --> 1:14:39.920
<v Speaker 1>Deshaun Watson from their Houston days together.

1:14:40.000 --> 1:14:40.439
<v Speaker 2>That's true.

1:14:40.520 --> 1:14:42.519
<v Speaker 1>How about that you've got problems a tight end, and

1:14:42.560 --> 1:14:45.160
<v Speaker 1>who doesn't Jordan Akins? That might be a sneaky stash.

1:14:45.280 --> 1:14:48.160
<v Speaker 2>We always welcome a new tight end to the wasteland. Yes,

1:14:48.200 --> 1:14:50.200
<v Speaker 2>we all are welcome in the wasteland.

1:14:51.479 --> 1:14:55.639
<v Speaker 1>Speaking to the wasteland, Let's go to Arizona, right, going

1:14:55.680 --> 1:14:58.280
<v Speaker 1>to the Cardinals in a game that feels like it'll

1:14:58.280 --> 1:14:59.559
<v Speaker 1>probably be pretty lopsided.

1:14:59.680 --> 1:15:02.519
<v Speaker 3>Ye, I have a decent amount of starting grades here.

1:15:02.520 --> 1:15:04.879
<v Speaker 3>I got a B grade on Matthew Stafford. The Cardinals

1:15:04.880 --> 1:15:07.760
<v Speaker 3>were dead last in defensive DVOA last week. It's one

1:15:07.800 --> 1:15:10.160
<v Speaker 3>of the highest over unders of the week. He was

1:15:10.280 --> 1:15:12.439
<v Speaker 3>one of only two quarterbacks to pass for three hundred

1:15:12.439 --> 1:15:14.439
<v Speaker 3>plus yards and the Cardinals just gave up two hundred

1:15:14.439 --> 1:15:17.160
<v Speaker 3>and thirty two yards and two scores. Another couple on

1:15:17.200 --> 1:15:19.559
<v Speaker 3>the ground to Josh Allen. I don't think Stafford's going

1:15:19.600 --> 1:15:23.000
<v Speaker 3>to get those ground ones. But four touchdowns last game

1:15:23.080 --> 1:15:26.280
<v Speaker 3>against the Cardinals as well for Matthew Stafford in his

1:15:26.640 --> 1:15:32.160
<v Speaker 3>receiving game. Yeah, so Cooper cups just obviously. Can I

1:15:32.439 --> 1:15:34.800
<v Speaker 3>move on from that again? Yea, absolutely all. Right over

1:15:34.840 --> 1:15:37.160
<v Speaker 3>to DeMarcus Robinson, who I'm giving a C grade two.

1:15:37.360 --> 1:15:41.360
<v Speaker 3>He's starter, ran the second most draw routes. He's constantly

1:15:41.400 --> 1:15:44.160
<v Speaker 3>on the field, as is Tyler Johnson going to be

1:15:44.160 --> 1:15:47.200
<v Speaker 3>because they run a ton of eleven personnel. He's the

1:15:47.280 --> 1:15:50.120
<v Speaker 3>safer C grade. I have a bench grade on Tyler Johnson,

1:15:50.680 --> 1:15:52.559
<v Speaker 3>but I could see a dart throw. Do we have

1:15:52.560 --> 1:15:55.840
<v Speaker 3>a D grade dart throw there? Oh? But okay, he'll

1:15:55.840 --> 1:15:58.160
<v Speaker 3>get the majority of his work against Sean Murphy bonteen,

1:15:58.680 --> 1:16:02.880
<v Speaker 3>who's decent, tough matchup the last two years, but Tyler

1:16:02.960 --> 1:16:07.120
<v Speaker 3>Johnson knows him well from practicing against in Tampa Bay.

1:16:07.320 --> 1:16:12.680
<v Speaker 3>So and I'm gonna move on Kobe Parkinson. Tight end,

1:16:13.560 --> 1:16:17.160
<v Speaker 3>Brian's Kobe Parkinson. Can I just say it's Brian's Kobe Parkinson.

1:16:17.320 --> 1:16:20.240
<v Speaker 3>Guy finished his tight end seven but he had forty

1:16:20.280 --> 1:16:23.720
<v Speaker 3>seven yards, which was third among tight ends last week.

1:16:23.760 --> 1:16:27.000
<v Speaker 3>In the last two yards two years, he has eleven

1:16:27.400 --> 1:16:30.920
<v Speaker 3>twenty plus yard receptions, which is Yeah, who would have

1:16:30.960 --> 1:16:31.759
<v Speaker 3>guessed athlete?

1:16:31.760 --> 1:16:32.120
<v Speaker 2>Apparently?

1:16:32.280 --> 1:16:34.800
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Yeah, the Cards took away the tight end last week,

1:16:34.840 --> 1:16:37.880
<v Speaker 3>but that's because they bracketed Kencaid, who's a crazy high

1:16:38.040 --> 1:16:40.639
<v Speaker 3>rate of double teams. They can't do that against Parkinson here,

1:16:40.880 --> 1:16:43.719
<v Speaker 3>and Parkinson ran the most routes among tight ends last week.

1:16:43.840 --> 1:16:46.240
<v Speaker 3>So c grade on Parkinson. You might be able to

1:16:46.280 --> 1:16:49.960
<v Speaker 3>talk me into more. Kirn Williams, he did it all

1:16:50.000 --> 1:16:52.439
<v Speaker 3>for them last week, but only two point eight yards

1:16:52.439 --> 1:16:55.880
<v Speaker 3>per carry and no explosive plays. Might be a product

1:16:55.880 --> 1:16:58.400
<v Speaker 3>of the Lions defense. I don't know, but he had

1:16:58.439 --> 1:17:02.639
<v Speaker 3>twenty six explosive plays last year, so it's quite a change.

1:17:02.880 --> 1:17:04.840
<v Speaker 3>He had twenty one of the twenty three touches for

1:17:04.920 --> 1:17:09.240
<v Speaker 3>the Rams, Blake Korm didn't see an offensive snap. James

1:17:09.240 --> 1:17:11.719
<v Speaker 3>Cook went for over one hundred yards last weekend, basically

1:17:11.760 --> 1:17:14.360
<v Speaker 3>the same volume. So Karen Williams, I'm giving you a

1:17:14.360 --> 1:17:16.120
<v Speaker 3>B grade. We'll see if you can be more effective

1:17:16.120 --> 1:17:19.720
<v Speaker 3>this week. Over to the Cardinals side, Kyler Murray B

1:17:19.880 --> 1:17:22.040
<v Speaker 3>grade five for fifty seven on the ground and that's

1:17:22.040 --> 1:17:24.719
<v Speaker 3>a lot of why he's getting this, and also they're

1:17:24.840 --> 1:17:26.439
<v Speaker 3>likely to be behind, so he's going to have to

1:17:26.479 --> 1:17:28.800
<v Speaker 3>throw a little bit more. Said it wasn't his job

1:17:28.840 --> 1:17:32.000
<v Speaker 3>to get Harrison the ball. Buffalo made a concerted effort

1:17:32.000 --> 1:17:35.240
<v Speaker 3>to take Harrison away, leaving the targets to be spread around.

1:17:35.479 --> 1:17:38.080
<v Speaker 3>He has three hundred plus yards and or multiple scores

1:17:38.080 --> 1:17:41.200
<v Speaker 3>and three the last four in this matchup, it's routinely

1:17:41.280 --> 1:17:44.120
<v Speaker 3>a shootout. So I'm given B grade for Kyler Murray.

1:17:44.400 --> 1:17:47.320
<v Speaker 3>His receivers. Michael Wilson was my take a chance on

1:17:47.400 --> 1:17:49.160
<v Speaker 3>me player who I think will be in that Jameson

1:17:49.160 --> 1:17:52.280
<v Speaker 3>Williams role. From last week against the Rams, Greg Dortch

1:17:52.400 --> 1:17:55.360
<v Speaker 3>twenty six percent target share moves around a ton. He

1:17:55.600 --> 1:17:59.120
<v Speaker 3>nine for eighty and three for twenty seven and one

1:17:59.200 --> 1:18:01.599
<v Speaker 3>in the last two games versus the Rams, apparently Greg

1:18:01.640 --> 1:18:03.800
<v Speaker 3>George is just good against the Rams. That could be.

1:18:04.160 --> 1:18:05.800
<v Speaker 3>So I got a C grade there as he was

1:18:05.840 --> 1:18:09.120
<v Speaker 3>the primary slot guy last week and did well there.

1:18:09.520 --> 1:18:12.479
<v Speaker 3>C grade on Marvin Harrison. I'm not giving up as

1:18:12.520 --> 1:18:15.160
<v Speaker 3>the Buffalo on him just yet, as Buffalo took him away.

1:18:16.280 --> 1:18:19.559
<v Speaker 3>He may get Tredeavious White, but Tredavious White just allowed

1:18:19.640 --> 1:18:22.519
<v Speaker 3>two for seventy in a score. So yeah, maybe maybe

1:18:22.560 --> 1:18:23.519
<v Speaker 3>there's something. It might be.

1:18:23.520 --> 1:18:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I don't think he's the same Tredavious White he was.

1:18:25.880 --> 1:18:28.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah four years Yeah, could be. Trey mcbide is getting

1:18:28.760 --> 1:18:30.439
<v Speaker 3>a B grade. Led the team in targets with a

1:18:30.520 --> 1:18:34.599
<v Speaker 3>twenty nine percent target share after being targeted nine times.

1:18:35.439 --> 1:18:40.000
<v Speaker 3>Yardage wasn't there, but the no scores, but snap percentage, drop, percentage,

1:18:40.000 --> 1:18:43.240
<v Speaker 3>target share, every single other thing was there. It'll come.

1:18:43.360 --> 1:18:45.640
<v Speaker 3>It'll come with the rest of the metrics. Eventually, the

1:18:46.000 --> 1:18:48.800
<v Speaker 3>stats will come. B grade on James Connor, who saw

1:18:48.880 --> 1:18:51.360
<v Speaker 3>eighty four percent of the running back rushes and twelve

1:18:51.400 --> 1:18:53.840
<v Speaker 3>point nine percent target share. He got everything and the

1:18:53.920 --> 1:18:56.639
<v Speaker 3>Rams just gave up one hundred and eighty seven total

1:18:56.760 --> 1:18:59.599
<v Speaker 3>yards to Lions runners. I got a B grade. Hair

1:19:00.120 --> 1:19:00.920
<v Speaker 3>to talked me into an A.

1:19:01.080 --> 1:19:05.679
<v Speaker 1>But we'll see Marvin Harrison's top speed top recorded sixteen

1:19:05.760 --> 1:19:08.960
<v Speaker 1>something sixteen miles an hour. Yea, that is not good.

1:19:09.160 --> 1:19:11.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, in college he was hidden in the twenties. So

1:19:11.400 --> 1:19:12.320
<v Speaker 3>I'm also still Brian.

1:19:12.360 --> 1:19:14.519
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the Monday night game, Falcons at Eagles.

1:19:15.439 --> 1:19:17.559
<v Speaker 1>This is a This is a game which the Falcons

1:19:17.640 --> 1:19:20.719
<v Speaker 1>need to obviously improve everything that we saw from last week.

1:19:21.800 --> 1:19:24.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we won't start with Kirk Cousins. I'm still a

1:19:24.920 --> 1:19:27.519
<v Speaker 2>little bitter he is responsible for my chopping in a

1:19:27.560 --> 1:19:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Guyietina leagu last week. We're gonna start with be Jon

1:19:29.280 --> 1:19:31.280
<v Speaker 2>Robinson and give him an a ninety percent of the

1:19:31.320 --> 1:19:33.320
<v Speaker 2>snaps in week one. I don't think Arthur Smith gave

1:19:33.360 --> 1:19:36.840
<v Speaker 2>him ninety snaps right last season. He has not missed

1:19:36.840 --> 1:19:39.800
<v Speaker 2>at all in Atlanta. Not the best matchup. But you

1:19:39.880 --> 1:19:42.759
<v Speaker 2>gotta love Bijon here and everywhere now that Arthur Smith

1:19:42.760 --> 1:19:46.400
<v Speaker 2>has gone. Bijon also took eight snaps out wide last week,

1:19:46.520 --> 1:19:47.479
<v Speaker 2>like playing wide receiver.

1:19:48.320 --> 1:19:48.800
<v Speaker 1>That's fun.

1:19:48.920 --> 1:19:51.120
<v Speaker 2>Saw five targets in that game. He's gonna be way

1:19:51.120 --> 1:19:53.320
<v Speaker 2>more involved this year. Hopefully that continues on Monday Night

1:19:53.360 --> 1:19:55.680
<v Speaker 2>and it should. He gets the A. I'm gonna give

1:19:55.680 --> 1:20:00.160
<v Speaker 2>a seed to Drake London and Darnell Mooney. Formidable corner

1:20:00.479 --> 1:20:03.920
<v Speaker 2>duo in Darius Slay and Quinnon Mitchell for the Eagles.

1:20:04.240 --> 1:20:06.680
<v Speaker 2>The Falcons should be chasing points in this game. One

1:20:06.720 --> 1:20:09.040
<v Speaker 2>would think it's sub to sific guy you drafted in

1:20:09.040 --> 1:20:10.920
<v Speaker 2>the second round, like Drake London, so he gets the

1:20:10.960 --> 1:20:13.400
<v Speaker 2>sea and Darnell Mooney the only Falcons pass catcher with

1:20:13.400 --> 1:20:15.600
<v Speaker 2>an a dot north of ten yards in week one.

1:20:16.560 --> 1:20:18.720
<v Speaker 2>I'm surprised Kirk Cosins actually threw it more than ten

1:20:18.800 --> 1:20:20.320
<v Speaker 2>yards in Week one if you watch that game.

1:20:20.360 --> 1:20:23.400
<v Speaker 3>But Kirk cousins longest completion last week was twenty seven

1:20:23.479 --> 1:20:24.120
<v Speaker 3>yards something like that.

1:20:24.320 --> 1:20:26.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was bad. Well, just we're gonna get to it.

1:20:26.800 --> 1:20:28.840
<v Speaker 2>Kirk Cousins. He's on the bench. We need to see

1:20:28.920 --> 1:20:30.639
<v Speaker 2>him do something before we can trust him. But I'm

1:20:30.680 --> 1:20:33.200
<v Speaker 2>not gonna gloss over Kyle Pitts. Don't worry, he still

1:20:33.240 --> 1:20:35.120
<v Speaker 2>gets to see. This is the only time I've given

1:20:35.360 --> 1:20:38.040
<v Speaker 2>just as I've given CCC. He's really only one of

1:20:38.040 --> 1:20:40.240
<v Speaker 2>these guys. Is probably gonna have a good game between Pitts,

1:20:40.600 --> 1:20:44.040
<v Speaker 2>London and Mooney. But you gotta start Kyle Pitts unless

1:20:44.080 --> 1:20:47.200
<v Speaker 2>you also roster Colby Parkinson. Then I would start Parkinson.

1:20:47.280 --> 1:20:49.800
<v Speaker 2>But Pitt's got on the board in week one. Got

1:20:49.800 --> 1:20:51.240
<v Speaker 2>that out of the way. He gets to see here

1:20:51.400 --> 1:20:53.640
<v Speaker 2>in a likely shootout or where the Falcons will be

1:20:53.680 --> 1:20:57.799
<v Speaker 2>chasing points over to the Eagles side. A for Sakuon Barkley,

1:20:57.920 --> 1:21:00.719
<v Speaker 2>A for Jalen Hurts. It was gonna be an easy

1:21:00.800 --> 1:21:04.559
<v Speaker 2>A for aj Brown, but he popped on the injury

1:21:04.600 --> 1:21:07.320
<v Speaker 2>report on Friday with a hamstring injury, and that's not

1:21:07.400 --> 1:21:10.439
<v Speaker 2>good when that happens late. So monitor that I'm gonna

1:21:10.439 --> 1:21:13.360
<v Speaker 2>get downgrade him the problem. Oh that's right, not till monday. Yeah,

1:21:13.400 --> 1:21:17.160
<v Speaker 2>not till Monday. So Johan Dotson out there, go grab him.

1:21:17.240 --> 1:21:18.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, pick up Dotson right now.

1:21:18.720 --> 1:21:21.200
<v Speaker 2>Ray Ray McCloud might be available for the Falcons. He

1:21:21.240 --> 1:21:23.920
<v Speaker 2>saw six targets he led to the Falcons wide receivers

1:21:23.920 --> 1:21:24.840
<v Speaker 2>and targets in week one.

1:21:24.960 --> 1:21:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Be sure to put aj Brown into your flex shot

1:21:28.280 --> 1:21:32.080
<v Speaker 1>so you have every available opportunity to find a replacement.

1:21:32.560 --> 1:21:35.040
<v Speaker 2>I had a B on Devonte Smith, but if I'm

1:21:35.120 --> 1:21:37.479
<v Speaker 2>giving I'm moving that. I'm flipping those grades now with

1:21:37.520 --> 1:21:40.040
<v Speaker 2>this hamsteng injury. You're gonna start Smith either way. And

1:21:40.479 --> 1:21:42.880
<v Speaker 2>a B for Dallas Goddard. The Falcons are one of

1:21:42.960 --> 1:21:45.439
<v Speaker 2>five teams to allow at least one hundred catches to

1:21:45.560 --> 1:21:48.400
<v Speaker 2>tight ends last season, and they surrendered six catches to

1:21:48.400 --> 1:21:51.120
<v Speaker 2>Pittsburgh tight ends in Week one and uh, we'll take

1:21:51.120 --> 1:21:52.519
<v Speaker 2>that all day long and the tight end waste.

1:21:52.720 --> 1:21:57.160
<v Speaker 1>I was really happy to see Dallas Goddard with so much,

1:21:57.960 --> 1:22:00.040
<v Speaker 1>so much activity in this game because you know, it

1:21:59.920 --> 1:22:02.400
<v Speaker 1>was so spotty last year. Yeah, you know, maybe this

1:22:02.720 --> 1:22:05.599
<v Speaker 1>Kellen Moore offense is going to feature him more like

1:22:05.640 --> 1:22:08.520
<v Speaker 1>he was prior to last season when it was really inconsistent.

1:22:09.200 --> 1:22:12.439
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's talk Giants and Commanders. Oh boy, okay,

1:22:12.600 --> 1:22:15.240
<v Speaker 1>you know I punted this one to the final matchup.

1:22:15.600 --> 1:22:17.559
<v Speaker 3>You wanted to end with the bang. You let the

1:22:17.600 --> 1:22:18.360
<v Speaker 3>people want this.

1:22:18.960 --> 1:22:21.600
<v Speaker 1>One of my favorite sleepers of the entire week is

1:22:21.640 --> 1:22:24.760
<v Speaker 1>coming in this matchup though. Oh but let's start with

1:22:24.840 --> 1:22:27.360
<v Speaker 1>a non sleeper and that's some leak neighbors. I think

1:22:27.360 --> 1:22:30.759
<v Speaker 1>the breakout game is coming from elak neighbors right here. Perfect,

1:22:30.800 --> 1:22:33.960
<v Speaker 1>So it's you know, in week one he led all

1:22:34.040 --> 1:22:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Giants receivers in snaps and routes run, so you know,

1:22:37.360 --> 1:22:41.920
<v Speaker 1>establish himself right away incredibly positive matchup against Washington, which

1:22:41.960 --> 1:22:45.600
<v Speaker 1>got obliterated by Baker Mayfield last week and was the

1:22:45.680 --> 1:22:49.200
<v Speaker 1>league's worst pass defense last year. In Week one, the

1:22:49.240 --> 1:22:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Commander's three starting cornerbacks had Pro Football Focus ranks of

1:22:53.120 --> 1:22:57.200
<v Speaker 1>cornerback fifty nine, quarterback ninety seven, and dead last at

1:22:57.280 --> 1:23:00.760
<v Speaker 1>cornerback one hundred and two, and a manual Forbes. Looks

1:23:00.800 --> 1:23:03.000
<v Speaker 1>like he's going to be out. So this is yet

1:23:03.040 --> 1:23:06.080
<v Speaker 1>another loss for an already thin group of cornerbacks. So

1:23:06.120 --> 1:23:08.280
<v Speaker 1>I've got to be great on eliite neighbors. I think

1:23:08.320 --> 1:23:11.360
<v Speaker 1>that comes together here and then my super sleeper out

1:23:11.400 --> 1:23:15.080
<v Speaker 1>of this game, Wan Dale Robinson. I like him here.

1:23:15.479 --> 1:23:19.320
<v Speaker 1>The Commanders allowed the six most wide receiver receptions last year,

1:23:19.360 --> 1:23:21.840
<v Speaker 1>and last week the Commanders allowed the fourth most wide

1:23:21.840 --> 1:23:25.640
<v Speaker 1>receiver receptions fifteen in one game one. Dale Robinson was

1:23:25.640 --> 1:23:30.439
<v Speaker 1>targeted twelve times last week, twelve targets. He'll be covered

1:23:30.439 --> 1:23:34.800
<v Speaker 1>by Commander's rookie slot cornerback Tyke Smith. No way we

1:23:34.840 --> 1:23:36.920
<v Speaker 1>meant to him else elsewhere. I think this might be

1:23:37.000 --> 1:23:39.280
<v Speaker 1>I might have Tikee Smith confused with somebody else. I'm

1:23:39.320 --> 1:23:42.040
<v Speaker 1>not sure he was. He allowed all four of his

1:23:42.080 --> 1:23:44.640
<v Speaker 1>targets to be caught in his coverage.

1:23:44.360 --> 1:23:46.400
<v Speaker 3>Way, I got Mike Senis still.

1:23:46.640 --> 1:23:48.439
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that's it, it is. That's exactly what it is.

1:23:48.520 --> 1:23:51.639
<v Speaker 1>It is it's Mike Stannis still or whatever. That's exactly right.

1:23:52.000 --> 1:23:55.160
<v Speaker 1>And he also allowed four targets in his coverage to

1:23:55.280 --> 1:24:01.360
<v Speaker 1>be four targets four receptions. Devin Singletary stemied by Minnesota

1:24:01.360 --> 1:24:04.040
<v Speaker 1>and the opener, and the Commander's run defense actually pretty

1:24:04.040 --> 1:24:06.439
<v Speaker 1>good last week. Finished his Pro Football Focuses number four

1:24:06.479 --> 1:24:09.120
<v Speaker 1>ranked run defense, the ranked fifth in ESPN's run stuff

1:24:09.160 --> 1:24:11.840
<v Speaker 1>win rate. Washington give up, did give up a thirty

1:24:11.880 --> 1:24:14.320
<v Speaker 1>one yard run to Bucky Irving, but otherwise held the

1:24:14.320 --> 1:24:17.639
<v Speaker 1>Bucks to two point seven yards per carry. The good

1:24:17.640 --> 1:24:20.559
<v Speaker 1>news for Singletary, no other runner on the Giants got

1:24:20.600 --> 1:24:24.280
<v Speaker 1>more than two carries, and the Commander's pass defense so

1:24:24.520 --> 1:24:26.639
<v Speaker 1>bad that I think Giants could be near the goal

1:24:26.680 --> 1:24:28.920
<v Speaker 1>line a few times and Singletary would be your goal

1:24:28.960 --> 1:24:31.280
<v Speaker 1>line back. So let's hope for a touchdown for him.

1:24:31.280 --> 1:24:34.839
<v Speaker 1>In a C grade for Devin Singletary, we will not grade.

1:24:34.920 --> 1:24:37.120
<v Speaker 1>We will not dignify Daniel Jones with a grade.

1:24:37.320 --> 1:24:39.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm starting him in a yetine league. No, well, I

1:24:39.920 --> 1:24:45.759
<v Speaker 2>mean so, cousins, Daniel Jones Malik Willis or Bryce Young.

1:24:46.040 --> 1:24:47.759
<v Speaker 2>It's got to be Daniel Jones right.

1:24:47.840 --> 1:24:51.759
<v Speaker 3>Charge Mike Sandristill's QB rating against last week one thirty

1:24:51.800 --> 1:24:52.400
<v Speaker 3>one point three.

1:24:52.520 --> 1:24:55.599
<v Speaker 1>Wow, there we go, Wandale Robinson. I'm telling you there's

1:24:55.640 --> 1:24:57.000
<v Speaker 1>there's something. There's something to that.

1:24:57.040 --> 1:24:59.840
<v Speaker 2>Angry Jones has got to be got to get it.

1:25:00.080 --> 1:25:03.320
<v Speaker 2>Take on Neighbors is going to break out. You like Robinson,

1:25:03.680 --> 1:25:07.120
<v Speaker 2>It's an awful defense. He can run, he'll he'll fall down,

1:25:07.439 --> 1:25:09.040
<v Speaker 2>He'll fall down after fifty yards.

1:25:09.080 --> 1:25:12.799
<v Speaker 1>But uh, Jones, And I'll say this, take yeah, maybe,

1:25:12.800 --> 1:25:15.080
<v Speaker 1>so you're talking me into it, into a C grade.

1:25:15.160 --> 1:25:18.000
<v Speaker 1>And I will say this, Even off the ACL his

1:25:18.080 --> 1:25:20.640
<v Speaker 1>mobility actually looked pretty good. But he's not going to

1:25:20.680 --> 1:25:23.040
<v Speaker 1>get the drawn up design runs that he used to

1:25:23.040 --> 1:25:25.160
<v Speaker 1>and that's the problem at all. I'll be scrambling stuff

1:25:25.160 --> 1:25:27.680
<v Speaker 1>for Daniel Jones. Let's go to Washington side of this

1:25:27.760 --> 1:25:31.960
<v Speaker 1>ball this game. Let's start with Jaden Daniels. So last week,

1:25:32.000 --> 1:25:36.040
<v Speaker 1>depending your scoring system, roughly QB three without throwing a

1:25:36.120 --> 1:25:41.519
<v Speaker 1>touchdown pass. Yeah yeah, thanks to fifteen designed runs. I

1:25:41.600 --> 1:25:44.400
<v Speaker 1>worry about his passing in this game because of one element.

1:25:44.760 --> 1:25:47.960
<v Speaker 1>The Giants pass rush should be awesome. You've got Dexter

1:25:48.040 --> 1:25:51.080
<v Speaker 1>Lawrence and Brian Burns, cave on Thibodeau and the Commander's

1:25:51.120 --> 1:25:54.040
<v Speaker 1>offensive line was just garbage last year. They didn't seem

1:25:54.120 --> 1:25:56.519
<v Speaker 1>much better last Sunday. They ranked twenty fourth and pass

1:25:56.560 --> 1:25:59.799
<v Speaker 1>block win rate. So I've got some trepidation about Daniels

1:26:00.160 --> 1:26:02.080
<v Speaker 1>as a passer. I think he's gonna have to make

1:26:02.120 --> 1:26:04.120
<v Speaker 1>some fast decisions with the ball in his hand.

1:26:04.240 --> 1:26:06.639
<v Speaker 3>Giants had the third highest pressure rate last week.

1:26:06.560 --> 1:26:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Yep, and they were good. So last week it was

1:26:09.920 --> 1:26:13.080
<v Speaker 1>all short dump off stuff from Daniels that doesn't add

1:26:13.160 --> 1:26:14.599
<v Speaker 1>up to a lot of fantasy points. And he's got

1:26:14.600 --> 1:26:16.160
<v Speaker 1>the big arm, but they didn't use it. I don't

1:26:16.160 --> 1:26:17.960
<v Speaker 1>think it's gonna be unfurled here either.

1:26:18.120 --> 1:26:20.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he missed McLaurin wide open a couple of times

1:26:20.760 --> 1:26:24.120
<v Speaker 2>where he's just he's tucking the ball and running yep,

1:26:24.120 --> 1:26:25.599
<v Speaker 2>too quick. Now not do that.

1:26:25.680 --> 1:26:27.600
<v Speaker 1>We'll take the designed runs. Yeah, that leaves him as

1:26:27.640 --> 1:26:29.280
<v Speaker 1>a B grade here, but I don't think he's gonna

1:26:29.320 --> 1:26:31.680
<v Speaker 1>chip in much through the air. And so I think

1:26:31.720 --> 1:26:33.240
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be a lot of repeat from last year

1:26:33.240 --> 1:26:35.599
<v Speaker 1>for our last week from Jaden Daniels. So let's talk

1:26:35.640 --> 1:26:39.559
<v Speaker 1>Terry McLaurin worried about the dump off passes, the short stuff,

1:26:39.720 --> 1:26:45.840
<v Speaker 1>the deep accuracy. Fortunately, the Giants' cornerbacks are awful. They

1:26:45.880 --> 1:26:48.639
<v Speaker 1>got murdered by the Vikings. They combined to allow eight

1:26:48.720 --> 1:26:51.040
<v Speaker 1>of ten passes to be completed on them, and Sam

1:26:51.120 --> 1:26:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Darnold dissected this secondary. So I'm still giving Terry McLaurin

1:26:56.080 --> 1:26:59.439
<v Speaker 1>a B grade just on I think volume in this game,

1:26:59.479 --> 1:27:01.519
<v Speaker 1>and there's not a lot of other good pass catching

1:27:01.520 --> 1:27:05.280
<v Speaker 1>options for this one. Let's talk Brian Robinson. I thought

1:27:05.320 --> 1:27:09.320
<v Speaker 1>he just looked fair in this new Kiff Cliff Kingsbury offense.

1:27:09.479 --> 1:27:12.479
<v Speaker 1>Not great. He got a goal line run to salvage

1:27:12.479 --> 1:27:16.040
<v Speaker 1>and otherwise mundane box score. Last week, his quarterback siphoned

1:27:16.040 --> 1:27:19.400
<v Speaker 1>off the fifteen carries I mentioned before, four more than Robinson,

1:27:19.760 --> 1:27:22.080
<v Speaker 1>and the Giants got hit hard by Aaron Jones. In

1:27:22.120 --> 1:27:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Week one, Robinson could find an easier sledding against a

1:27:25.000 --> 1:27:27.200
<v Speaker 1>bad run defense, so I still got a startable grade

1:27:27.240 --> 1:27:30.439
<v Speaker 1>of SEA on him. Loved Austin Eckler talk to you

1:27:30.479 --> 1:27:32.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot about in the offseason. I thought he'd be

1:27:32.240 --> 1:27:34.759
<v Speaker 1>somebody's gonna chip in enough PPR help to be startable

1:27:34.800 --> 1:27:38.559
<v Speaker 1>for most of you. He's the clear passing down runner

1:27:38.640 --> 1:27:42.160
<v Speaker 1>for Washington, well utilized in the first game, running seventeen

1:27:42.240 --> 1:27:44.640
<v Speaker 1>routes and going four for four on his targets.

1:27:44.280 --> 1:27:46.920
<v Speaker 3>Eight of those worldwide. Like, yeah, how about that?

1:27:47.360 --> 1:27:50.960
<v Speaker 1>I love famous, super cool. Last week, Aaron Jones caught

1:27:51.000 --> 1:27:54.160
<v Speaker 1>both of his targets against the Giants. Last year, Giants

1:27:54.160 --> 1:27:57.679
<v Speaker 1>allowed the fewest running back receptions for the fourth fewest yards.

1:27:57.720 --> 1:27:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Though we don't know if that's going to hold up

1:27:59.360 --> 1:28:01.880
<v Speaker 1>this year, but I'll know that. And then zach Ertz.

1:28:01.960 --> 1:28:04.599
<v Speaker 1>We had talked about him being a sneaky starter going

1:28:04.640 --> 1:28:08.839
<v Speaker 1>into this season. Ben Sennett. Ben Sennett got one play,

1:28:09.240 --> 1:28:11.320
<v Speaker 1>that's it. It was all zach Ertz. He got nearly

1:28:11.360 --> 1:28:13.559
<v Speaker 1>all the work at the tight end position. And for

1:28:13.720 --> 1:28:16.800
<v Speaker 1>what it's worth, last year in these two matchups, Logan

1:28:16.880 --> 1:28:19.000
<v Speaker 1>Thomas top fifty yards in both meetings. So I think

1:28:19.000 --> 1:28:20.840
<v Speaker 1>you can still start zach Ertz if you need to.

1:28:21.520 --> 1:28:26.760
<v Speaker 1>He clocks in with a C grade. All right, let's uh.

1:28:26.840 --> 1:28:29.120
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk about a couple other items from

1:28:29.160 --> 1:28:31.240
<v Speaker 1>around the league. As we got just a well, we

1:28:31.360 --> 1:28:33.240
<v Speaker 1>got thirty s I got about I only have about

1:28:33.240 --> 1:28:36.040
<v Speaker 1>thirty seconds, so rap fire ago necessarily dig into this.

1:28:37.560 --> 1:28:40.479
<v Speaker 1>Are there any are there is there? Could you flat

1:28:40.479 --> 1:28:46.800
<v Speaker 1>out drop every Panther excepting Deontay Johnson? Yes, drop, I

1:28:46.840 --> 1:28:49.960
<v Speaker 1>think might be interesting down the line too, Xavier yet Yeah,

1:28:50.120 --> 1:28:52.000
<v Speaker 1>but with Brooks coming back in four weeks.

1:28:52.040 --> 1:28:54.600
<v Speaker 2>But with Brooks they're going to be so bad. What

1:28:54.760 --> 1:28:57.639
<v Speaker 2>is the point of risking reinjured? Like, don't play him,

1:28:57.640 --> 1:29:00.839
<v Speaker 2>but they're not gonna bell Cowum late in the season. Yeah,

1:29:01.400 --> 1:29:02.000
<v Speaker 2>drop James.

1:29:02.000 --> 1:29:05.519
<v Speaker 1>Would you drop Brooks out right? Jonathan Brooks them?

1:29:05.560 --> 1:29:08.120
<v Speaker 3>No, I wonder if you could know.

1:29:08.160 --> 1:29:09.800
<v Speaker 2>I would trade him close to when he comes back.

1:29:09.840 --> 1:29:11.240
<v Speaker 3>I'm holding the trade him.

1:29:11.280 --> 1:29:11.559
<v Speaker 2>Hold on.

1:29:11.640 --> 1:29:14.200
<v Speaker 1>That's probably the right angle, you know. I know everybody

1:29:14.240 --> 1:29:17.320
<v Speaker 1>needed some extra Panthers content. As we punted here at

1:29:17.360 --> 1:29:18.760
<v Speaker 1>the in the final moments.

1:29:18.479 --> 1:29:20.479
<v Speaker 2>I flew out of Charlotte to get away from the Panthers.

1:29:20.680 --> 1:29:22.479
<v Speaker 1>Now look all you got is Panthers. Thank you for listening.
