Speaker 1: pick up next week, but you will be ahead of

19
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: the curb. It is a brutal week in that it's

20
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: the bye weeks and there's like a dozen starting running

21
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 1: backsh are Hurt. It's really really nasty out there at

22
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: running back in UM, I've got a league where I'm

23
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: gonna be starting Khalil Herbert and Alex Collins. His name

24
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: is Khalil ground Bear. Thank you, good point, Kalil ground

25
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: Bear and and Alex Collins. And it's a it's for

26
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: like for my life here. So jeez, is it the

27
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: one word together? I might die? I don't like dying

28
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: breaking news. Uh, let's let's dive right into the matchups,

29
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: shall we? Texans taking on the Colts. Maybe just get

30
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: this one out of the way, right off the bat Scott,

31
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: although maybe there's some there's some sneaky Colts plays in

32
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: this one because of the Texans side. But let's let's

33
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: start with the Texans. No, I actually have a grades

34
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: across the board every all Texans. I only have two

35
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: startable grades for the Texans and one as kind of

36
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: if he hat best. Brendon Cooks gets the A grade

37
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: despite kind of having a dud last week. But the

38
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: Patriots are known for taking away your best option, and

39
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 1: the Texans really have one option, so they took it

40
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: away last week. I think he gets back on the

41
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: board this week. Similar guys speedy like outside, the guys

42
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: like cup or not cup It, lock It, Hollywood Brown, etcetera.

43
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: Went for a hundred plus and two scores against the Colts.

44
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: I think he gets that target chair back, so I

45
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: do have an A grade on him here. Uh, Davis Mills,

46
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: I'm giving a weird C grade here. Who thought that

47
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 1: he would be the rookie quarterback to break that Bill

48
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: Barrel Belichick narrative. Shocking performance last week by Davis Mills,

49
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: who legitimately looked good coming off a Nathan Nate Nathan

50
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: Peterman esque game the week before. I was stunned that

51
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: he shook off that game and then went out and

52
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: battled Belichick. Really impressive. Yeah, just yeah, it's yeah. I

53
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: did not see it coming either. The Colts have allowed

54
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: the most passing touchdowns in the NFL, a ridiculous sev

55
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: completion rate against their fourth worst against fantasy quarterbacks. It's

56
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: more of a super flex league thing. He could he

57
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: could really turn back into a pumpkin. But I'm giving

58
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: him a just a shot in the dark sea grade here.

59
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: It's it's a good matchup. On the other side, I

60
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: have Carson Wentz on the bench. He's averaging uh, you know,

61
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: three yards and two touchdowns per gamer last two weeks,

62
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: and the the Texans are deceptive and they allow a

63
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: lot of points to quarterbacks, but it includes a ton

64
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 1: of rushing stats, and Carson Wentz on those ankles is

65
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: not getting those rushings dats, so I have him on

66
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: the bench. In the passing game, I'm only starting, uh,

67
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: starting Pittman for the receivers. As you can imagine, the

68
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: Texans are our seventh best against fantasy wide receivers. It's

69
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: it's a little yeah, you probably can't imagine as what

70
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: I have. Let's sit here best as much as it's

71
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: we don't have to throw to wide receivers, right, that

72
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: could be too But Pittman's commanding a twenty five percent

73
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: target share, which is pretty ridiculous. Six plus catches in

74
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,119
Speaker 1: four straight averaging about eighty five yards, and those he's

75
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: the safe floor just because he gets a lot of targets.

76
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: So I have a B grade on him. Moyley Cox,

77
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: I've going down to tight ends here. B grade on

78
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: that the Texans are currently ranked last against fantasy tight ends.

79
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of noise when you do

80
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: ranks towards fantasy tight ends because they tend to be

81
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: weighted towards who you've played. If you played, yeah, have

82
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: you seen a really good tight end yet? Um? But

83
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: there averaging the overagely line tight ends are scoring against

84
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: them is seven for seventy five and they've allowed four

85
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: scores in five weeks, so most notably Henry and Knox

86
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: put up big numbers. But I'm putting B grade on

87
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: there because he's he's been in three four catches yards,

88
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: So B grade there. Taylor, Jonathan Taylor, I'm giving an

89
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: A grade too. He's looking like that Bell Cow gang. Yeah,

90
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: it's a good man match up. He's a lock for

91
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: sixteen plus touches. He's seen three plus targets in four

92
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: or five In the Texans. They're allowing four point seven

93
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: five yards per per tote and a hundred forty three

94
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: combo yards per game. That's a lot of work there. Unfortunately,

95
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,320
Speaker 1: I'm leaving Haines and Mack on the bench. Mac is

96
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: getting a ton more work now, I see. I think

97
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: Mac in a if you're really desperate a running back,

98
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: which many people are this week, if you think the

99
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: blowouts coming in favor of the Colts. I think Mac

100
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: gets some fourth quarter work here beyond what he would

101
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: normal to feature him a little bit. Are you trying

102
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: to right? Yeah? Great angle, And you're trying to push

103
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: me into a C grade. I'm not. I'm just I'm

104
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: just I'm not trying to push you to a C

105
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: grade on him. But I think if you're if you're

106
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: desperate enough, Marlon Mack, if only there was some sort

107
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: of grade that was between C and F. But there's not,

108
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: so we'll leave him on the bench. Mean, I mean

109
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 1: he he had ten snaps last week, but he turned

110
00:05:55,480 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: five carries into almost fifty yards. That's true. Uh, sorry,

111
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: I'm leaving on the bench. Judge likes it. If you're desperate, though,

112
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: I mean it's running backs in week six D alright, alright?

113
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: Is that it's I wasn't sure. I wasn't sure that

114
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: that's what you meant. Raiders take on the Broncos Matt

115
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs missed a bunch of time this week with illness,

116
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: but is expected to go against the Broncos. What do

117
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: you think of Josh Jacobs now that he's back? Is

118
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 1: the mostly bell cow here? Yeah? It was a non

119
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: COVID illness, so it looks like he's gonna be suiting

120
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: up this weekend. I think the Steelers laid down the

121
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: blueprint blueprint to beat this defense last week, and it

122
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: was a bell cow performance by Naji Harris that did it.

123
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 1: Carries yards in a score that's kind of Josh Jacobs,

124
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: and I think that's what they have to do this

125
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: week to kind of set a tone with a new

126
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: coaching staff. There. I gotta b grade on him. Every

127
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: runner with more than eleven carries has scored on the

128
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: Broncos this year, which is good because Josh Jacobs has

129
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: played the bron Goes three times in his career. He

130
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: scored twice in every game he's played against the Broncos.

131
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: I did not realize it was that good. He tames

132
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: the Broncos like no other. Does he break the Broncos?

133
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: Yes he does. Yep, yep. We never get to use that.

134
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: We rarely get I'm like, okay, do we have a horn?

135
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: We got every animal here, we must have the horse,

136
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: and do we have a beeping car horn? Because Derek

137
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: carrs on the bench in this game. First three games

138
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: he averaged four one yards and two scores per game.

139
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: Last two games against the Chargers and Bears, he's averaging

140
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: two one yards and one score per game, which is

141
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: exactly half of what he's done in the first three.

142
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: I think he adds that negative total as the Broncos

143
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: are bordering on elite defensively against the past. They're allowing

144
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: two or twenty two passing yards and one score per game. Uh,

145
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: and they're almost averaging the same amount of picks as

146
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: they are touchdowns allowed. Uh. The only receiver I really

147
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: have a starting grade on for him is Darren Waller,

148
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 1: who I'm giving a B. The Broncos are actually a

149
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: good tight end defense, allowing only three catches and thirty

150
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: yards the position. However, the only tight end they faced

151
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: who is on any fantasy rosters at all is Mark Andrews,

152
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: and he went for five catches and sixty seven yards. Plus.

153
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: Waller's gone over a hundred yards and two of his

154
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: last three meetings with the Broncos, so maybe he also

155
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: can break the Broncos. The rest of the receivers i'd

156
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: play in this order, but honestly i'd bench them all.

157
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: Henry Ruggs first, then Hunter renfro then Brian Edwards. The

158
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 1: trio of Kyle Fuller, Patrick certain and Brian Callahan. It's

159
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 1: probably the best group of corners in the league. But

160
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 1: Fuller is the one that can be attacked. He stays

161
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: on the left side. Ruggs heads that way more than

162
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: anybody else, so he's got the best chance of a

163
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: long touchdown. Melvin Gordon and Javonte Williams on the other side.

164
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: Gordon has been limited in practiced this week with a

165
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: hip injury, so keep an eye on that. And Javonte

166
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: Williams is like the apps lout statistical darling when it

167
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: comes to guys who who are doing a lot with

168
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: not a lot of touches. Yet he's almost splitting the

169
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: workload with Gordon, but he's off the charts and his

170
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: elusiveness ratings and miss tackles and all those fun nerdy stats, well,

171
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: and just look at him. In each of the last

172
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: two games, he has had eye popping runs that make

173
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: you go, man, there's like four backs in the NFL

174
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: could that could have been on what I just saw?

175
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: This dude looks like a top five back and he's

176
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: just not getting the workload right. So if Gordon ends

177
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: up not going this one, I'd give Javonte Williams an

178
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: A grade in this spot, and if Gordon does go,

179
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: they both get bees. The Raiders are allowing four point

180
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: five yards per carry and have allowed the ninth most

181
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 1: rushing yards this season. They're also giving up a touchdown

182
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 1: and a half to the wide receiver or the running

183
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: back position. That I should say so I like both

184
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: of these runners in this game. Both startable in a

185
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: in a weird week of running backs, Teddy Bridgewater. He's

186
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: on the bench though. The Raiders past defense has been

187
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 1: awesome this year. Shockingly. Yeah, it's the pass rush. Their

188
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: Their pass rushers are great, allowing only two seventeen yards

189
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: and just over a score per game, both our top

190
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: five numbers. You can start Courtland Sutton with a C grade,

191
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna give him the Dead Sea grade since

192
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: the Dead Sea is the lowest elevation on Earth feet

193
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: below sea level, so it's like a subtracted sea level.

194
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: It's it's like the lowest it's the lowest sea you

195
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: can get h the Raids. The raiders one week spot

196
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: in their past defense is a meek Robinson who may

197
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: fill in a few extra snaps for the dinged up

198
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: Casey Hayward or Nate Hobbs, both of whom are dealing

199
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: with some injuries this week. Robertson has been scored on

200
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: twice and only thirteen targets on the season, so Sutton

201
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: would certainly see him on the outside, and Noah Fant,

202
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: I'm giving a B grade two. The Raiders have been

203
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: dinged up by some mid tier tight ends recently, with

204
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: Mike Gasiki going for ten catches and eighties six yards

205
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: Jared Cook getting six seventy and one uh two weeks ago,

206
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: So why not Fant. He's averaging six targets per game,

207
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: which only trails Sutton on the target leaderboard in Denver,

208
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: so he's a B grade. Charges take on the Ravens.

209
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,719
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler has been running great and he's an obvious

210
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: as my factor is my top ranked running back this week.

211
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: Ravens are getting killed by pass catching runners in particular,

212
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: and that's Austin Ekeler's forte. I don't have a fantasy

213
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: art Vark this week. If you'd like to give it

214
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: away you you can go ahead there. In the passing game,

215
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: Justin destroyed the Cleveland defense that was very good up

216
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,760
Speaker 1: until now, So no hesitation. Here, the Ravens have allowed

217
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: the fourth most passing yards three hundred fifteen per game,

218
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: and oddly enough, justin air Bear is averaging three hundred

219
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: fifteen passing yards per game, so let's put him on

220
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: a three exactly three hundred fifteen yard passing game. Here.

221
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: Both the starting receivers have strong matchups and so do

222
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: tight ends, and let's use that as our way to

223
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: go to Keenan Allen. His nickname is the Slayer? Do

224
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: we have an animal noise for the Slayer? Is there

225
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 1: a slayer noise? We can probably not. There's probably music. Yeah, no, no,

226
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 1: god no, we definitely not. O. No, we can't even

227
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:21,840
Speaker 1: get the chip bugs take how about this? Known for

228
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: their slaying ducks, Keenan Allen gets an A grade Baltimore

229
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: stingy to opposing receivers, but their most vulnerable in the slot,

230
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 1: and that brings in Keenan Allen, What am I doing?

231
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 1: There's our slayer? Come on, we had it all along.

232
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: Hunter renfro calif Raymond in Paris Campbell of all posted

233
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: at least four receptions and fifty yards from the slot

234
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 1: against the Ravens. Allen's obviously better than all those guys.

235
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: Tavon young Man's the slot for Baltimore. He's allowing a

236
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: catch rate and one hundred two passer rating in his coverage,

237
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: So Keenan Allen a strong A grade. Mike Williams is

238
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: a game time decision. Didn't practice all week Nine times

239
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: out of ten guys that do not practice all week

240
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: don't play. But they're saying there's still a chance he

241
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: could go. He's been basically unstoppable, and even though the

242
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: Ravens are above average and most wide receiver defensive stats,

243
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: it's still it's Williams coming in, coming in hot, and

244
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: he remains startable. Um outside cornerbacks Marlon Humphreys and Anthony

245
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: Favorite couldn't stop Michael Pittman last week, and this is

246
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: a similarly physical Mike Williams. So I still like him

247
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 1: here if he goes, and if he goes and he's

248
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: at something close to full health, will give him a B.

249
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: If he starts and I don't know this thing goes

250
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: all the way down to game time, then I guess

251
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: it's more like a CE. But I think if he's active,

252
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: you have to play Mike Williams considering how good Now

253
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: if he doesn't go. Jalen Guiton last year was like

254
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: all slot guy. But I looked up his his to

255
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: see where he's been playing this year, and he's all

256
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: over the board. So I think Jalen Guiton would get

257
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: most of the work, not Josh Palmer, and Josh Palmer

258
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: would probably see more time as well. Palmer is a

259
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: more natural outside receiver, but Guyton could be a last

260
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: minute a last minute swap there, and if you're feeling

261
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: really bold, you could try Palmer. But let's talk about

262
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: these tight ends. If these were combined, if if Jared

263
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: Cook and Donald Palm were combined into one guy, we'd

264
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: have an elite fantasy tight end. But they split this

265
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: up a lot, but it's a great matchup. Cook is

266
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 1: getting slightly more snaps and target, but param is getting

267
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: increasingly involved and he's been the end zone guy. The

268
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: Ravens allowed the most tight end catches, the second most

269
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 1: tight end yards, and are only one touchdown away from

270
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: being the worst tight end touchdown defense as well. So

271
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: if you need to throw a dart in a bye week,

272
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: you could try Jared Cook or Donald Parham. Let's go

273
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: to Baltimore. Obviously, Lamar Jackson coming up with an A

274
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: grade after what we saw on Monday night. Get this,

275
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson has more yards than eighteen NFL teams. That's

276
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: really not surprised. It's it's it's crazy, but it's all

277
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: no waights some of the NFL teams. It's not surprising. Obviously,

278
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: you're not gonna bench Jackson here. Uh, you know, but

279
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: I don't expect a similarly explosive game against a good

280
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: Charger secondary Pro Football Focus ranks the Charges with the

281
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: sixth best pass rush and the sixth best pass coverage.

282
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: UM and it's just a mixed bag for his receiver.

283
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: So we'll talk about now beginning with Mark Andrews. Not

284
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: as much of a mixed bag here. He's an A.

285
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: Andrews gets to follow up his career best game on

286
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 1: Monday Night with a Charger's pass coverage that's allowed the

287
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: most yards to tight ends over the last three weeks,

288
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: and the Chargers have allowed a score to the position

289
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 1: in all games but one. So I like Andrews a

290
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: lot with an A grade. Markis Brown is a B grade. Uh,

291
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: he's not up to eleven touchdowns and eleven games. That's

292
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: the most touchdowns over the past eleven games, m which

293
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: we never would have guessed from Marquis Brown will talk

294
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: more about that later on in the show. He's gonna

295
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: need that momentum against a stingy Chargers defense. Charges allowing

296
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: the four were the fewest receptions, the second fewest yards,

297
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: the sixth fewest touchdowns to opposing receivers. Only one receiver

298
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: has cracked eighty yards against the Chargers all year, and

299
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: his matchup, honestly is it's just neutral against Sante Samuel,

300
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: Michael Davis and elite safety Derwin James. Is not gonna

301
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: get beat deep. And that's where Mark Yes Brown hurts

302
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: a lot of people. UM, I wanted to give him

303
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: a C grade, but he's just been so good. I'm

304
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: giving him a B grade here. But I don't love

305
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: this matchup in particular. UM, I'm gonna talk a little

306
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 1: bit more about Littavius Marie next segment. Let's go to

307
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: the other receivers. Sammy Watkins is out for this game,

308
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: or Shot Bateman is gonna get his first ever start.

309
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:46,239
Speaker 1: I think that we can safely just because the difficulty

310
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: of the matchup sounds and they they've said that they

311
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 1: planned to work him in slowly, so I I I

312
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: don't want to. I don't want to give you a

313
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: starting grade of Bateman though, even though I think he

314
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 1: does have a nice NFL career ahead of him. Well

315
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: too much, Devin duvername baby in this game for for

316
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 1: my taste? Why do you say it like that? You

317
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: said it like that, I was just mocking you. You

318
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: made him sound like he's a mouth breather, which he's

319
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: no caveman. I think he's a very sharp kid, you know.

320
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: So we don't want to We don't want to suggest

321
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: that that's the case. Hey, when we come back, take

322
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: a chance on me. Nine players upon whom you can

323
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: take a chance. Many are available on the wave or wire.

324
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: I just mentioned one of them that's coming up in

325
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: a second. Find out who they are when we come

326
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: back Fantasy Football Weekly, take a chance on me nine

327
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: players not normally in your starting line. I will tell

328
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 1: you you can pick up off the waiver wire and

329
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 1: start this week beginning at the quarterback position. And Matt

330
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 1: Harrison going back to the well with Trevor Lawrence. He

331
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,120
Speaker 1: was gonna take a chance of me player last week

332
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,880
Speaker 1: and he finished Week five is a top twelve Fantasy

333
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,640
Speaker 1: quarterback throwing for two seventy three and a score added

334
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 1: in twenty yards and a score on the ground, and

335
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 1: the Jags are starting to design a little bit more

336
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,120
Speaker 1: running into Lawrence's game, which will help his points down

337
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 1: the line. This week, he gets a Miami team in

338
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: London who's allowing three oh five and two point four

339
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,679
Speaker 1: touchdowns per game through the air. Like Trevor Lawrence now

340
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: that rushing stuff is not trivial for him. If they

341
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: keep using him on these designed runs, that's gonna it's

342
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 1: gonna really change the arc of his fantasy runchtion for

343
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, Scott, your take a chance of me quarterback.

344
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: Give me Michael McCorkle, Mac Jones, McCorkle, that's his name.

345
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: I didn't know that, alright, or I'd go by Mac two. Yeah, yeah,

346
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 1: because quirky, Yeah, quirky, the worst, the worst. I bet

347
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: Colin mccockney and Michael McCorkle you could probably maybe together

348
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: the only good court goodman. Everybody else every other cork

349
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: he's bad anyway, give him to give him to me.

350
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 1: In a likely negative game script the whole game against

351
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,040
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. There against the third worst team against fantasy quarterbacks.

352
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 1: Quarterbacks have topped three d total yards in every game

353
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: this year against the Cowboys because they're not trying to

354
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: run their throwing passes. Oh and Trayvon Digs might not

355
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: suit up, which could well. I don't know whether that

356
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 1: helps or not, because he's allowing a ton of he's

357
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: allowing a ton of passing yards. For all the talk

358
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 1: of the inceptions, he's on pace to lead the NFL

359
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: in interceptions but also passing yards allowed and uh penalties,

360
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: no risk, no biscuit. Uh, well, you have paid on

361
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: interceptions at that. He's like baseball Adam done ton of stick.

362
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,120
Speaker 1: Might take a chance to me? Quarterback is Taylor Heineke

363
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: going up against the Chiefs? At this point, I would

364
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: start Billy Kilmer against the Chiefs. Kansas City has the

365
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 1: league's worst fence overall. They're very bad against the past.

366
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,959
Speaker 1: In particular, they ran't dead last and points allowed, they

367
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: ranked thirty first, and yards allowed their lasts and first

368
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: downs they ranked twenty nine, and passing yards allowed. They

369
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: give up the most rushing quarterback rushing yards and the

370
00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: most quarterback rushing touchdowns. I mean, there's every way possible.

371
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 1: Taylor Heineke can beat them. Daniel Sorensen might be the

372
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: worst safety in the league. And if there are any

373
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs fans listening, they are nodding their head vigorously right now.

374
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 1: He's allowed a league high two eight four yards in

375
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: his coverage. Here comes Terry McLaurin with all of his speed.

376
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: He's gonna blow through this defense on deep passes. Taylor

377
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: Heineke love him. This week. Let's go to the running

378
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: back position. It's Khalil Herbert a k A. The ground Bear.

379
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: With David Montgomery still out and Damian Williams on the

380
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: COVID reserve list, the Bears turned to the ground bear

381
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: this week. By the way, ground Bear had eight team

382
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: carries for seventy five yards last week against the Raider,

383
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: while Damian Williams had sixteen carries in that game. In fact,

384
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: the only game in which a Bears runner has not

385
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: received sixteen or more carries in a game this year

386
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 1: was the Browns game, where Justin Fields was starting and

387
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: the Browns were stacking eight in the box the whole

388
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: game and their defense was planned lights out. The Packers

389
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 1: are the opponent this week. They've allowed an average of

390
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifteen total yards and just over a

391
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: touchdown per game to opposing runners. My theory is groundbar

392
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,959
Speaker 1: gets all of the work here, So I like those odds.

393
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 1: All right, You're take a chance to be runner Scott.

394
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:32,679
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna go with DeVante Booker. You might

395
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 1: not like him against the Rams. It seems like a

396
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: tougher matchup. But the five the five main backs that have

397
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,960
Speaker 1: have seen sixteen plus touches against the Rams, four of

398
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,959
Speaker 1: them had over seventy yards and or a touchdown. Uh,

399
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 1: they're actually producing a decent amount of So I'm gonna

400
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,720
Speaker 1: give him a Take a chance on me with a

401
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: you know, a C grade. Okay, we're grade in there. Uh.

402
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: Lottavius Murray's the back I did not talk about last segment,

403
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: goes up against the Chargers. A negative game script last

404
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: week led to a season low six carries for Murray.

405
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: But don't be dissuaded here. He's gonna bounce back against

406
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 1: a Chargers defense that is very good against the past

407
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: and very bad against the run, giving up a league

408
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: worst one hundred thirty six rushing yards per game on

409
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: five and a half yards per carry to opposing backs.

410
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: Tyson Williams and DeVonta Freeman are basically non factors in

411
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: this offense, and Murray's getting most of the work and

412
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 1: it's a great opportunity. So we'll give Latavius Murray the start.

413
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: And for those that were looking for a letter grade

414
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 1: on Murray, it is a B. Let's go to the receivers, Matt,

415
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna channel my inner Brian Johnson here. Uh and

416
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: and still a little smell of tight end comments, still

417
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: a little thunder from Colin mccockney. It's not just a

418
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: tight end. It's Dan Arnold, the tight end who's uh

419
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: in his third game with the Jags and what brings

420
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: a team together more than a great road trip to London.

421
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: Arnold must be a quick study because he went from

422
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 1: eighteen snaps in his first week to fifty two last week,

423
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: which was a seventy three percent share. He also saw

424
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: eight targets six catches in sixty four yards last week. Yeah,

425
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: he averages about ten yards per target. So does the

426
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,360
Speaker 1: Dolphins defense. When they let tight ends room free. They're

427
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: allowing five catches and fifty yards per game to the position.

428
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: With three scores in the first five games. I like

429
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 1: Dan Arnold to score this week. All right, that's strong. Uh, Scott,

430
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: my time has come, Yeah, my time has come in

431
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: that the Sun God, finally, the Sun God is finally

432
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 1: with you on this. I love his chances this. I'm

433
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: on raw st Brown. He's finally taken over. He has

434
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: at least eight targets, at least six catches, and at

435
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,959
Speaker 1: least sixty five yards and back to back games. Cliff

436
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 1: Raymond has disappeared and turned back into calif Raymond. Hockinson

437
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,880
Speaker 1: still hobbling a bit. Quintus cephas out a game that's

438
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: gonna be negative game script the whole time. Give me.

439
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: I'm on raw this week. I am going with and

440
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 1: I love this play. Told you much. I liked Taylor Heineke. Well,

441
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 1: let's look at who we could throw the ball to.

442
00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: Obviously Terry McLarin sitting on a huge game we'll talk

443
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: about in a couple of minutes here. But who else

444
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 1: has he got? Well, Curtis Samuel's out for this game.

445
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 1: Lorcan Thomas is on I r um there's he just

446
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 1: doesn't have many people to throw too. Outside of Adam Humphries.

447
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: I already mentioned Chief's past defense has been brutal and

448
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: Jerry McLaurin can't get one of the passing yards, so

449
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 1: there's gonna have to be some other options working from

450
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 1: the slot. Humphreys faces Legarius Snead, who is allowing an

451
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: opposer passer rating of one hundred fifty two almost perfect.

452
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: He touchdowns in the last two games. He was good.

453
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: Lugarius was very promising rookie last year. They've moved him

454
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 1: into the slot where he's just a fish out of water,

455
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 1: and so, I like Adam Humphries, I'm starting him in

456
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: a couple of different leads a matter of fact. So

457
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: take that, everybody. Let's get Let's get a matchup in here.

458
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 1: Scott Bengals take on the Lions. Joe Mixon played gallantly

459
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: through an injury last week. It looks like he's close

460
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 1: to a full go in this one. What do you

461
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,879
Speaker 1: think about him and what should be a pretty juicy

462
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: matchup with the Lions. Yeah, everything we're hearing about about

463
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: him for this week is that he's going to be

464
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: a full go, full practicing now. Um uh. The Lions

465
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 1: are allowing over twenty eight touches to running backs per

466
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,879
Speaker 1: game and the tenth most combo yards and the most

467
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 1: combo touchdowns. This is a smashed spot for mixing. Who's

468
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: averaging twenty two touches per game prior to the injury?

469
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 1: Uh A grade for mixing. In the passing game. I'm

470
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: still giving Joe Burrow a B grade multiple touchdowns in

471
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: every game, but now he gets a DV that is

472
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 1: so bad against the run that they only allowed twenty

473
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: seven pass attempts per game. Otherwise I would give Burrow

474
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 1: a better grade, like he just might not pass enough,

475
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: but he's gonna get some rodgers let them up, you

476
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: know a couple a few weeks ago. Uh Chase, I'm

477
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: given an A grade too, because it's hard to do

478
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: yards basically every game, and the lead wide receiver against

479
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 1: the Lions has topped a D and twenty yards in

480
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 1: four of the five games. That's probably le Chase, Higgins

481
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: and Boyd. I'm giving them both SEA grades, but I

482
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 1: don't I don't love it as much. Um with Higgins back,

483
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 1: both played back seat and split production production. Um. Given

484
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 1: the volume passing against the Lion secondary though, I can't

485
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: give him any higher than A. See there, they just

486
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 1: might not be enough to attempts to go around on

487
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: the other side, I mentioned aman Ras might take a

488
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: chance on me player. Uh, Jared Goff should have you know,

489
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: an okay outing here. I feel like since his big

490
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: one week one outing, he has only average one yards

491
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: and one touchdown per game. But the Bengals d has

492
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: been hit and miss as well. Uh. They've allowed opposing

493
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: quarterbacks nearly forty attempts per game though, so I kind

494
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: of like golf to to get some volume here. Uh,

495
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: he'll he'll have st Brown and he'll also have Hawkinson,

496
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: who's getting better off the energery. He's looked banged up.

497
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 1: He's been banged up, he's he's been limited in practices.

498
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,640
Speaker 1: The Bengals haven't played any decent ends yet, so they're tough.

499
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: Five rank against tight ends is a little deceiving, but

500
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: I'm still giving to Hawkinson a B grade. I think

501
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: you have to. I think tight ends like this have

502
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: down games once in a while, especially when they injured

503
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 1: um DeAndre Swift. I'm giving the A grade. To remember

504
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: when the Bengals allowed Naji Harris to catch fourteen passes

505
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: against them, I do I think that's normally. I don't

506
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: because Green Bay Backs also had nine grabs Minnesota Backs

507
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: also had ten grabs. There's a lot of pass catching

508
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 1: to go around against this Bengals d an a grade

509
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: first Swift, a C grade for williams uh Fourteen plus

510
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: touches in four of the five games is hard to ignore.

511
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: When you get that kind of volume, even if you're

512
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: not the lead back, it's hard not to give you

513
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,879
Speaker 1: at least a sea. Yeah. Probably, we're gonna talk a

514
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 1: little more about t J. Hockenson coming up in a

515
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: couple of segments because his his story has been pretty fascinating.

516
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: After the two big games to start the season and

517
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: then three really dry ones, what do you do about him?

518
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about that a little later on in

519
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 1: the show. If you haven't tried a Guillotine League yet,

520

Speaker 1: leagues dot com. When we return, Packers take on the Bears.

526
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 1: There's some obvious plays like Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers,

527
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: But what about trickier guys like Robert touny in A J. Dillon,

528
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 1: what about any of the other receivers? Will tell you

529
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: what to expect when we come back, final segment of

530
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 1: our number one of Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul

531
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: charchy and you can follow me on Twitter at Paul Charchion.

532
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: My co host number one today Matt Harrison. He is

533
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: at Explosive Output. Oh, I'm co host number one, and

534
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: number one b is Scott Fitch at Scott one. Plus.

535
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 1: I'm just happy to be hopefully doesn't list just happy

536
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: to be here. Packers take on the Bears. Matt obviously,

537
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: Davanta Adams obviously sitting on a gigantic game, But I'm

538
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: wondering what you think about the rest of the passing

539
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: offense here. Yeah, Davante is an a Aaron Rodgers is too.

540
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: It looks like Rogers will get both tackle Elgton Jenkins

541
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: and center Josh Meyers back this week plus help the Bears.

542
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,120
Speaker 1: Linebacker Khalil Mack and defensive tackle Achem Hicks both did

543
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: not practice either Tuesday or Wednesday, so they're looking on

544
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: the doubtful side of questionable. I almost gave him a

545
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: B because but the injuries are always trending in the

546
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: right direction for the pack and he's thrown four touchdown

547
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 1: passes in each of his last two games against the Bears.

548
00:29:57,080 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: So Rogers gets the A Robert Touny in I'm giving

549
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: him just a C grade, uh, and I think that

550
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: that's generous a disaster he's been. Yeah, he was limited

551
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: this week in practice with a knee injury, so keep

552
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: an eye on that even if he does go. He's

553
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 1: only averaging three point four targets one point eight receptions

554
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: in sixteen yards per game. But he did score in

555
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: both meetings with the Bears last year, so we're just

556
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 1: hoping for a touchdown. No other Packers receiver should be

557
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: in your lineup, Randall Cobb is only averaging two targets

558
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: per game. The rest is a mess. Uh. Aaron Jones,

559
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: he's getting a B grade. Was a limited participant with

560
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: an ankle injury this week, but has ninety plus total

561
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: yards in the last four games he's played. So the

562
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: interesting guy is A. J. Dillon, who has been much

563
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 1: more a part of the offense in the last two weeks.

564
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: Sixteen touches for ninety seven yards against Pittsburgh in Week four,

565
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 1: twelve touches for seventy nine yards and a receiving touchdown

566
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: in Week five against the Bengals. By the way, Dylan

567
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,640
Speaker 1: is still available in thirty nine percent of lead, which

568
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: is crazy. He should be picked up. He's a spot

569
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: starter in bye weeks, and if Jones actually miss his

570
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: time back instantly I give I give Dylan a starting

571
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 1: grade of just a. See here, as the Bears defense

572
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: is allowing a hundred and twenty six total yards per

573
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: game in the position, they're a little bit better than average.

574
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: So uh, he's He's startable, but not super great. I

575
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: like Khalil Groundbar as my take a chance on me runner.

576
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: I'm giving him a B grade in this game. Actually,

577
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: the receivers on the Bear side, I'll give Darnell Mooney

578
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: the B grade and Allen's Allen Robinson a tepid C

579
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: grade as he's been limited in practice and looking like

580
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: a true game time decision. There is no JayR Alexander

581
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 1: in this game. He's on I R and said both

582
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: of them will see Eric Stokes and Chandon Sullivan. Now

583
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna jump in. Now. Stokes is fascinating because Mooney

584
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: is super fast. Stokes is even faster, and he doesn't

585
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: normally travel with any particular wide receiver. Normally he plays

586
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: one side of the field. But man, this matchup screams,

587
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: you know, with Kevin king Al j Alexander out, this

588
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: matchup screams, just put Stokes on Mooney, neutralized the speed

589
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: and then make a hobbled Allen Robinson beat you. Let's

590
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: see if he can stop and cut and move with

591
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: Mooney though I mean speed on speed, he might. Mooney

592
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: might make a cut. Stokes might be in the stands.

593
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: He's just running. So faye, Stokes have been good. He's

594
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:22,040
Speaker 1: that kid. Looks like he's requisite of the draft pick

595
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: they gave him. Yeah, Mooney has been fields preferred target

596
00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 1: this year, but Robinson has topped a hundred yards or

597
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: scored in three of his last four against the Pack

598
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: and with j and that's with Jai year. So I

599
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: think it should be a past heavy game script for

600
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: the Bears, one at home, one with their newly anointed

601
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. I'm imagining they're going to throw a bunch,

602
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: which is why I'm giving Justin Fields a C grade.

603
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: And this is probably just positive thinking, but I just

604
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: kind of have a hunch about this one. There's more

605
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: negatives than positives with Fields hasn't thrown for more than

606
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: twenty passing attempts in any of his three career starts,

607
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: just one touchdown, passing yardage totals of sixty two oh

608
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: nine and one eleven. He's also only ran the ball

609
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 1: three times in each of the last three teams, So stupid. Yeah,

610
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: why is he getting no designed runs? Yeah, it's so frustrating,

611
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: But the Packers have allowed the fifth most passing touchdowns

612
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 1: on the season at two point four per game. They've

613
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 1: allowed the eleventh most rushing yards to opposing quarterbacks. And

614
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: when if he doesn't run well with no Gyrands Darius Smith,

615
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: this defense is nearly a scary. So I'm gonna give

616
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: him a C grade and I'm gonna talk about justin

617
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: fields a little bit more later in the show. And finally,

618
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: don't commit to me, bro Cole, Commit is on your bench.

619
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 1: The less said, the more apparently about cold commit. Chiefs

620
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: take on Washington. Um, these are two this like the

621
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 1: worst and the second worst defense facing each other. It's start, everybody.

622
00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 1: This is this is like a seventy five point total,

623
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: it feels like it. Mahomes, Hill and Kelsey are all

624
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: obviously as with deeply positive matchups, and we don't even

625
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 1: have to expand on that. Let's go to Darryl Darryl

626
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: Williams next. You're hoping for a touchdown here because Washington

627
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: is allowing these second fewest rushing yards and the third

628
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: fewest receiving yards to running backs. In a nutshell, teams

629
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: just passed so easily on Washington that they don't have

630
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,399
Speaker 1: to run. So really, you're just hoping that a bunch

631
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 1: of pass oriented drives stall out near the five and

632
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 1: then Darryl Williams runs it in, which is possible, and

633
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:28,880
Speaker 1: that's a C grade. Now, the other receivers beyond Kelsey

634
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: and Hill, odds are some of them are going to

635
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: get something done, or at least one of them are

636
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 1: get something done. But how can you know if it's

637
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: gonna be Josh Gordon, Mi Coole Hardman, Byron Pringle or

638
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:44,439
Speaker 1: DeMarcus Robinson. You can't, You can't. They probably can't tell

639
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,600
Speaker 1: you with certainty. They're all gonna be on the field

640
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,800
Speaker 1: at various times during the game. They've all got positive matchups,

641
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: but none of them are going to be on the

642
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: field enough that you can know, and it's a total

643
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: guessing game. So they'rell on the bench. Let's go to

644
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 1: the Washington side. Washington be playing without starting guard Brandon

645
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 1: Sheriff and starting tackle Sam Cosmi rookie. Um. They've been

646
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: ruled out of this game, which is too bad, Um,

647
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 1: because it's although I still think this is it's still

648
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: such a smash spot. I still like everybody. Antonio Gibson

649
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 1: an obvious a against the defense that ranks twenty nine

650
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 1: and rushing yards allowed and has given up the fourth

651
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:22,280
Speaker 1: most wide receiver receiving yards, although Gibson's not that active

652
00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: as a receiver. But that brings us to J. D. Mckissic,

653
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 1: who clocks in with a C grade, because the Chiefs,

654
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, giving up the fourth most receiving yards

655
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,720
Speaker 1: and running backs and that equals they've given up twenty

656
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: eight receptions for two seventy yards. That's uh, that is

657
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,879
Speaker 1: a ton. And if you think the Chiefs are gonna

658
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: be playing from ahead in this game, then you've gotta

659
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,760
Speaker 1: figure mkissic is gonna be in in a past catching

660
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: role throughout much of the second half, maybe the fourth quarter,

661
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: maybe garbage time, so a C grade for J. D.

662
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,479
Speaker 1: Mckissic as a possible pivot in a tricky bye week

663
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,800
Speaker 1: for running backs and injury field week for running backs.

664
00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: Taylor Heineke was might take a chance on the quarterback

665
00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,839
Speaker 1: Adam Humphreys was might take a chance of me wide

666
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 1: receiver and Terry McLaurin hamstring injury that he suffered in practice,

667
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 1: but he's expected to play well. I think he's expected

668
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 1: to play. The media reports around this have been totally varied.

669
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,320
Speaker 1: I've seen a unlikely to play. I've seen a definitely

670
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: will play. We're just being cautious on on Terry McLaurin,

671
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: but it looks like he's gonna go. Um he's my

672
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 1: number In fact, he's one of my top rank wide

673
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: receivers for the week. I had him number one prior

674
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: to the hamstring injury. Kansas City's allowed receiver the top

675
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 1: one hundred yards or score multiple touchdowns in each of

676
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: the past four games. They've given up six touchdowns to

677
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 1: receivers in the past three weeks. That's how bad it is.

678
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 1: No matter where mclauren plays, and he lines up all

679
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: over the field, he's got a positive matchup, whether it's

680
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:46,160
Speaker 1: against Mike Hughes, Lagarius sneed Chart, various ward who may

681
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 1: not even go in this game. They're all giving up

682
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 1: a passer rating of over one hundred ten and they

683
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 1: combine to allow five touchdowns in this so far this year.

684
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:57,560
Speaker 1: It and and as I mentioned earlier in the show,

685
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: if McLaren with his speed gets deep, Niel Sorensen's getting roasted.

686
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 1: I love the matchup for Terry McLaurin and now uber

687
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: sneaky tight end play coming. Ricky Seals Jones on the

688
00:37:12,680 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 1: field last week in relief of Logan Thomas for of

689
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 1: the snaps and he had eight targets, which is more

690
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 1: than Logan Thomas it had in any game. The Chiefs

691
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 1: have allowed the seventh most catches and the most yards

692
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: to tight ends. Ricky Seals Jones b grade it. Do

693
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: you have a steal noise? Nor r? Thank you? That's

694
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:49,919
Speaker 1: that's it's not quite but it's in the ball. That's

695
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:55,400
Speaker 1: our Ricky Seals Jones blended with a sheet noise. It

696
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,319
Speaker 1: is actually our final matchup of the segment is the

697
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: Rams taking on the Giants. Scott Yes. Uh, Let's start

698
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: on the Rams side with passing game. I'm giving Matthew

699
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 1: Stafford a grade. He's he's just been really, really decent

700
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 1: this year. Giants. Yeah, Giants have allowed multiple touchdowns to

701
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 1: qbs in all five games. UH. Stafford has multiple touchdowns

702
00:38:17,080 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 1: in four or five the one he didn't he at

703
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: three sixty five yards. Giants eighth worst against quarterbacks, allowing

704
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: to nearly seventy completion rate against. UH. Stafford should have

705
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 1: a good day here. Cup, He's he's back to He's

706
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 1: gonna be back to liking his boy here, Cooper Cup again,

707
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 1: A grade here. I think last week was a a

708
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 1: traditional squeaky wheel gets the greaser, squeaky mouse gets the

709
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,439
Speaker 1: cheese or whatever you want to call it. Something yes,

710
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: something squeak either. How we need a lot more. But

711
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of pretty good. I would have preferred

712
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 1: that to try to do it. But that's that's okay too. Uh,

713
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: bring it, bring it eventually, like say the letters, and

714
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: actually does obviously, oh Man Rubbert Woods the B grade. Uh.

715
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 1: I could be convinced to an A, but I think

716
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: they'll get ahead in this and maybe not need to

717
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: pass as much later in the game. The Giants have

718
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 1: allowed the ninth most receptions to wide receivers. I have

719
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: the rest of the wide receivers on the bench. Jefferson,

720
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: you know he he shows up at times, but he

721
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: usually needs a big play. D Jacks has seen his

722
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: snaps go down, so no to him. Tyler Higbee with

723
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,440
Speaker 1: a C grade. The Giants have allowed a touchdown every

724
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: week to tight ends until last week where Dalton Schultz

725
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:42,040
Speaker 1: was shut out, but we still went six for seventy nine. Yes,

726
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,120
Speaker 1: in the running game, Henderson gets the A grade. The

727
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: Giants allowing the seventh most touchdowns running backs, fifth most

728
00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: compo yards. Last week, henderson snaps came down a little bit.

729
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 1: He wasn't the bell cow that he was early in

730
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: the week. But even if you pencil them in for

731
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: split should bring him around twenty touches for him, ten

732
00:39:59,800 --> 00:40:02,239
Speaker 1: or oh for Michelle. They may be running down the

733
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: clock late, so I'm actually gonna give Michelle a C grade.

734
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: I don't love it, but it's it's very possible. We

735
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 1: can see thirty touches out of these running backs in

736
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,160
Speaker 1: this one when by the end of the game over

737
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,359
Speaker 1: to the Giant side, Daniel Jones has been cleared. He's

738
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 1: gonna play I got a C grade on him in

739
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,080
Speaker 1: a game he should be trying to catch up. And

740
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: those rushing yards they add up, they make him startable.

741
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: You think that they reel in his rushing it off

742
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: with him coming off the concussion. I don't know that

743
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,439
Speaker 1: they do. I just think you find get concussion again,

744
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: we don't care. No, I I feel I feel like

745
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:35,880
Speaker 1: I feel like they're just gonna let him do it.

746
00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:39,240
Speaker 1: They're gonna when they put players back out after stuff

747
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,879
Speaker 1: like that, it seems like they just let him be them.

748
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:45,680
Speaker 1: You know. Uh, teams are averaging nearly forty pass attempts

749
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 1: against the Rams, which is a little surprising, but yeah,

750
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:50,960
Speaker 1: they have to because they have to play catch up.

751
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: That's that's where he's gonna get his points is in

752
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:58,919
Speaker 1: volume onto the passing game. His boys. Thirling Shepherd is back.

753
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:00,839
Speaker 1: And when I say it's his, I was a little

754
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: shocked looking at the numbers of how Sterling Shepherd does

755
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 1: with Daniel Jones over the last year or so. Six

756
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 1: plus receptions not targets receptions in ten of the last

757
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: twelve games with him, and these are the last four

758
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 1: games with with Daniel Jones, nine for seventy seven in

759
00:41:16,040 --> 00:41:18,839
Speaker 1: a touch eight for one, twelve in a touch, good game,

760
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 1: seven for nine in a touch. I'll take that. I

761
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,160
Speaker 1: have a B grade on him, but I'm I'm I

762
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 1: think I might even be willing to go a gread

763
00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: just because it's his it's his little woobie, what his

764
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 1: little woodie like his that's like a security blanket for

765
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 1: for a baby. Really, yes, say so do you have on?

766
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 1: I do die? Because I'm actually familiar with Scott using

767
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: this term. I am the podcast in the past. Canarius Tony,

768
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 1: I'm giving a C grade two because when he gets

769
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,360
Speaker 1: the ball in his hands that the guys just electric

770
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 1: and he can make things happen. He's not going to

771
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: get the volume that we saw last game, but when

772
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,720
Speaker 1: he does get it, he's able to make plays happen.

773
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give a C grade to him. Evan Ingram,

774
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:07,759
Speaker 1: I'm giving a C grade for as well. He has

775
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 1: four plus catches in two straight but the yards just

776
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: aren't there, and the Giants haven't had a tight end

777
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,840
Speaker 1: score yet. But he's getting a C grade simply because

778
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,240
Speaker 1: there aren't a lot of options with all the injuries,

779
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: and they're going to be playing catch up and of

780
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: course Booker was might take a chance on me player? Yes,

781
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 1: m We've got about a minute a half. I want

782
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 1: to talk about zach Ertz trade that went down. So

783
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: Max Williams had been shockingly competent for the first time

784
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: in his seven year career. Um now zach Ertz slots

785
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:42,040
Speaker 1: into that spot. Now there's a ton of competition for

786
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 1: targets in that offense. Christian Kirk and A. J. Green

787
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,720
Speaker 1: and DeAndre Hopkins and Ron del Moore and Chase Edmonds

788
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:52,399
Speaker 1: all guys who need to catch the ball. But zach

789
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 1: Ertz is a huge upgrade and the best tight end

790
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:58,760
Speaker 1: we've seen in a Cardinals roster. And since Dan Arnold's

791
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: Dan Arnold. What do you guys expect from zach Ertz

792
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: once he's acclimated to this offense in a couple of weeks.

793
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 1: What do you expect from zach ERT's going forward? I

794
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: expect what we were seeing out of Max Williams, only

795
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: on a more consistent basis, Like the seven Max had,

796
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: the five or sixty six and a touchdown. Yeah, those

797
00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 1: are almost elite Tightenhill, he'll have his He'll and what

798
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 1: Earth's did last night or what it's on Thursday night.

799
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: I guess um, I expect those kind of numbers, but

800
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: on a more consistent basis, And I actually expect some

801
00:43:34,600 --> 00:43:36,360
Speaker 1: of the other guys like Green and Rondell Moore and

802
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: stuff to see a little less action. They're doing good

803
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:41,640
Speaker 1: work on lower snaps, like Rondell Moore is not getting

804
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 1: a lot of snaps. What they're doing good work on it.

805
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting to grade him because it's so

806
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 1: hard to grade those wide receivers based on the matchups,

807
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,479
Speaker 1: but tight ends a little more clear to see whether

808
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 1: or not the matchups good. So I think Earth's is

809
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,440
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of starting grades down the pine here. Yeah,

810
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: and hopefully a little later, maybe we'll talk a little

811
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: bit about what this means for Dallas Goddard as well.

812
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,280
Speaker 1: If you're not familiar with the Guillotine League, the premise

813
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 1: is pretty simple. Instead of playing had to had every week,

814
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 1: the low scoring team gets cut and their players go

815
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 1: to the waiver wire, where it's a bidding frenzy for

816
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: the rest of us as we bid on the remains

817
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: of that team's roster. All you have to do is

818
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,399
Speaker 1: not finished last in any given week, and the last

819
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: team standing wins the whole thing. New league's forming almost

820
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: every day at Guillotine leagues dot com. We'll be back

821
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:27,680
Speaker 1: for our number two of Fantasy Football Weekly coming up

822
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: in moments. Our number two Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charchi

823
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: and Scott Fish and Matt Harrison from Shock Fantasy here

824
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,600
Speaker 1: to help guide you through the rest of the matchups,

825
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 1: player ratings on every single notable player, and especially trying

826
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: to help you find running back. Help all the guys

827
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:05,240
Speaker 1: on by, all the injured running backs, don't start those

828
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 1: don't start. The injured running don't start the guys on by.

829
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:10,280
Speaker 1: That's the kind of insight we bring you on Fantasy

830
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:14,400
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. But first the game we call three tough questions.

831
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 1: Top question number one is Leonard four net and every

832
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 1: week starter. Let's begin with you, Matt. Uh. It sure

833
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: seems like that after he's taken control in Tampa with

834
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:29,240
Speaker 1: twenty three, sixteen and twenty eight touches in the last

835
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: three weeks. Coming on Thursday Night, Ronald Jones from week

836
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: four on six, six and six a trend. Yeah, Geo

837
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:42,239
Speaker 1: missed Week four, but he had six and two in

838
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 1: the last three or two games. Uh, it's now a

839
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: two third snap shop time share for four NET and

840
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 1: one six and one six for Jones and Geo and

841
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,360
Speaker 1: that offense. He's probably a top twenty running back and

842
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 1: that's startable just about every week. Yeah, And I think

843
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:00,399
Speaker 1: the reason we I'm I'm the same. I think he's

844
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: an every week start now and I think I think

845
00:46:02,120 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 1: the biggest thing is that he's catching passes and he's

846
00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 1: making something happen with him. And that's what Tom Brady needs.

847
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: He's need someone you can trust to dump off too

848
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:11,919
Speaker 1: in the passing game. He wanted that in his later

849
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: years in New England. He needs that now and uh

850
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: for Net has proven over the last couple weeks that

851
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 1: he can take on that role. Four Net is turning

852
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 1: into the James White plus running at this stage for

853
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, which is fantastic. You know, in the past,

854
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 1: you never knew week to week what you could who

855
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 1: who was going to get the most carries, who'd get

856
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: the hot hand in New England. That then wherever Tom

857
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: Brady goes, I meant Tampa in Tampa, but yeah, I'm

858
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: just saying wherever Tom Brady goes, that's that is true.

859
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 1: The worst you could ever do was listened to Bruce Arians,

860
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 1: who was a bald faced liar, and he would tell

861
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 1: you heading into a game, we gotta get Ronald Jones

862
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 1: more work. He's he's been really running hard lately. We

863
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: love his practice. We got to get a more work

864
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: and then the game comedy get three carries? Is it

865
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 1: possible that for Net just was in bad shape and

866
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 1: Jacksonville when getting traded to Tampa last year, he just

867
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:04,399
Speaker 1: wasn't in game shape and it took him a while

868
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: because on the stretch of the playoffs he was a

869
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: playoff so and he was. But the weird thing was

870
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones rolled into the playoffs. Is the better runner

871
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: throughout the whole season? Go figure. But now we don't

872
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 1: have to listen to Bruce Arians. The numbers speak for themselves.

873
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:23,360
Speaker 1: You guys already articulated them well and a until that

874
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:27,239
Speaker 1: soft dish tissue injury pops up, and it will at

875
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 1: some point. With Leonard four Net, we've got our opportunity

876
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:34,800
Speaker 1: to make him an every week starter. Tough question number two?

877
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 1: Are you selling high on Marquis Brown? Scott will let

878
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: you go first this time? I don't think so. I

879
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: don't know that you're going to get quite the value

880
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: want because I think a lot of people out there

881
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:50,320
Speaker 1: are gonna feel similarly. They're gonna be a little curious

882
00:47:50,320 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: whether it's for real or not because the touchdowns have

883
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 1: been so high and those may regrets. But he's really

884
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 1: only got two top ten defenses going forward that he

885
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,640
Speaker 1: has to face and the rest of the season. Uh.

886
00:48:01,040 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: The argument, I guess is also that Bateman is coming back,

887
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,280
Speaker 1: He's going to progress slowly. But this is an offense

888
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,399
Speaker 1: throwing for over three yards of game and it's likely

889
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 1: going to be in a decent amount of shootouts. If

890
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's passing has improved to this degree, I'm gonna

891
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 1: want the guy in that offense. I'll keep him hold

892
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 1: on to him. Okay, Matt, are you selling high on

893
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 1: Marquis Brown? I am selling. And Scott kind of articulated

894
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 1: the points why his schedule is really soft. I can

895
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 1: sell that to an opposing player. Uh. He's had eleven

896
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 1: touchdowns in eleven games, which people love. When you put

897
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:35,400
Speaker 1: in the comments why you should trade never work. But

898
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:40,919
Speaker 1: but how about this Lamar Jackson going backwards from last

899
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:45,320
Speaker 1: week touchdown passes for last week, the week before one,

900
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 1: the week before that one, the week before that one,

901
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:51,520
Speaker 1: the week before that one, He's not throwing a ton

902
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: of touchdown passes. And I need my wide receivers to

903
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:57,920
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to score touchdown passes. And now I

904
00:48:57,960 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 1: think there might be a few too many mouths to

905
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 1: with Mark Andrews and Rashad Bateman coming on, I I

906
00:49:03,520 --> 00:49:06,719
Speaker 1: do want to sell Marquis Brown. This was a hard

907
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:14,399
Speaker 1: This was a question, was actually tough, a false sense

908
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 1: of security. I am selling high Markis Brown under the

909
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 1: assumption that I can sell him as an elite receiver

910
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 1: that that he's bet. If I can turn him into

911
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:27,879
Speaker 1: basically anybody outside of Davante Adams, then yes, I'm selling um.

912
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,279
Speaker 1: And that's probably what you can get from Marquis Brown

913
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,880
Speaker 1: right now. People want to be a part of a

914
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson offense on their fantasy team. They've seen all

915
00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 1: the touchdowns. They want to be a part of that.

916
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 1: But for you guys who score just I'll add this

917
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:42,759
Speaker 1: to the point you've already made. Guys who score from

918
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 1: distance are notoriously inconsistent, and to get this kind of

919
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 1: touchdown production is not it just it the requssions coming.

920
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:56,359
Speaker 1: Doesn't he seem like Kansas city wide receiver. But he's

921
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 1: just in one package, Like you just don't know if

922
00:49:58,560 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 1: he's going to score any week, but when he it's on,

923
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:05,360
Speaker 1: it's on. I feel like right now you're never, maybe

924
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:08,920
Speaker 1: never going to have a better opportunity to sell on

925
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 1: Marquis Brown than right now. So I'm gonna take advantage

926
00:50:11,719 --> 00:50:14,279
Speaker 1: of that and turn him into any receiver you like

927
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 1: outside of Davante Adams. I think my theories you can't

928
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,040
Speaker 1: sell him for as high as you think you can. Yeah,

929
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:20,960
Speaker 1: you might be right. Maybe other people are gonna be

930
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:22,760
Speaker 1: onto this, but I don't think so. I think people.

931
00:50:22,880 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 1: I think people want those touchdowns. Tough Question number three,

932
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 1: what is the appropriate level of concern for t J.

933
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 1: Howkinson managers? Is it none? Some or a bowl loosening

934
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:40,760
Speaker 1: level of existential dread? Around here, we call that blowed.

935
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,400
Speaker 1: We begin with you, Matt. It's just some for me.

936
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:46,440
Speaker 1: He's been on the field for more than of the

937
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 1: snaps in every game this season. The problem is he's

938
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:51,400
Speaker 1: been a little bit dinged up, and some of the

939
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:53,359
Speaker 1: last couple of teams that he's played have just taken

940
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: him out of the game after eight catches and a

941
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 1: touchdown in each of the first two weeks. He's only

942
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:01,160
Speaker 1: tallied eight total catches in the three games since the

943
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:03,399
Speaker 1: Vikings and Bears were two of those opponents, and they

944
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 1: rank among the top eight in teams against the tight

945
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 1: end this year. The lines simply needed to scheme him

946
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 1: open more. He's their best receiver, and I I'm somewhat concerned,

947
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 1: but I think I'll be okay. Yeah, for me, I'd

948
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 1: almost want to say some because it's hard not to

949
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:22,399
Speaker 1: after three bad games in a row. But it's really

950
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:24,799
Speaker 1: none that this is what the tight end position is.

951
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:27,879
Speaker 1: They all have bad games like this. He's running a

952
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: ton of routes, he's playing eighty three plus percent of

953
00:51:31,160 --> 00:51:35,240
Speaker 1: the snaps. They have almost no other options. It's gonna

954
00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 1: come around, but there will be days like this. Mama

955
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:42,959
Speaker 1: told me. The answer is some. He's obviously very good

956
00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,439
Speaker 1: and by sheer talent, he's probably a top five tight

957
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 1: end by just talent. And you know, the problem has

958
00:51:48,600 --> 00:51:50,319
Speaker 1: been and by the way, team's always playing from behind

959
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be passing a lot. But we knew

960
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 1: that going into the season, and that has not stopped

961
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,439
Speaker 1: him from having three straight dad games. And the knee

962
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 1: injury is a bit of an issue. The double coverage

963
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:00,880
Speaker 1: is a problem. Teams are locking down Hockinson, making Aman

964
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 1: Rob beat you, calif Raymond beat you. Um. He's too

965
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: good and he's too important to this offense to continue

966
00:52:10,719 --> 00:52:13,800
Speaker 1: at at the same pace of these last three games.

967
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:16,760
Speaker 1: They have to get him involved one way or another.

968
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 1: They have to do whatever it takes. I think they will.

969
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 1: By the way running routes I was. I thought at

970
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 1: one point maybe he was staying in blockings that offensive

971
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:26,400
Speaker 1: lines I'll beat up in Detroit. He's running routes, so

972
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 1: I was going to drop that in there, and I just, yeah, didn't.

973
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:32,359
Speaker 1: That's a saving Yeah he is. He's running a ton

974
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 1: of routes. So still have some concern because I didn't

975
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 1: think he didn't have any three game stretch like this,

976
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:44,239
Speaker 1: But not a bowel loosening level of existential dread. Fortunately,

977
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:48,959
Speaker 1: let's go back to the matchups. The Cardinals taking on

978
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 1: the Browns Matt and for the Cardinals, they've acquired zach ERTs.

979
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:57,280
Speaker 1: They can't play him yet, So where is Kyler Murray

980
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:01,280
Speaker 1: going to send the ball um to the other players

981
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:06,320
Speaker 1: on his team? Tough question number four. I'm giving Kyler

982
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 1: a B grade and this one. The Browns are a

983
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:10,360
Speaker 1: good defense. They did just give up the world to

984
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:13,280
Speaker 1: air Bearer last week, and Miles Garrett is still limited

985
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:16,200
Speaker 1: in practice. That's good. But Murray gets the B because

986
00:53:16,239 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 1: he's dealing with an injury of his own and it's

987
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 1: his right shoulder. And this just in you don't want

988
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:25,040
Speaker 1: your fantasy quarterback throwing his throwing shoulder to be injured.

989
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:29,319
Speaker 1: That's usually a bad thing. Um the Cardinals receivers, let's

990
00:53:29,320 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 1: talk about them. How about DeAndre Hopkins. He sat out

991
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 1: most of the week with an illness. He's not been

992
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:39,880
Speaker 1: diagnosed with COVID like teammate Chandler Jones did. Uh, And

993
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:42,760
Speaker 1: he did return on Friday, And if he's fully healthy,

994
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:44,600
Speaker 1: he's still in a grade. But keep an eye on

995
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:48,280
Speaker 1: this one just in case something pops up. The Chargers

996
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 1: receivers were clever enough to have Keenan Allen and Mike

997
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:55,399
Speaker 1: Williams each avoid Denzel Awards coverage last week for most

998
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 1: of the game, So I imagine the Cards move Hopkins

999
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 1: around to avoid Ward because it has been awesome this year,

1000
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,840
Speaker 1: especially in the last three weeks, holding opposing receivers to

1001
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 1: five catches and sixty nine scoreless yards over the last

1002
00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 1: three Christian Kirk gets a B grade from the slot

1003
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 1: as he'll go against. He will go against Troy Hill,

1004
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 1: who allowed Keenan Allen to have a pretty good day

1005
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:19,319
Speaker 1: last week. And if they can move Hopkins away from

1006
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 1: Denzel Ward, it probably means that A. J. Green is

1007
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:24,920
Speaker 1: the sacrificial lamb here, So I'll throw him in. Ron

1008
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 1: Dale Moore on the bench, uh, and then we'll go

1009
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 1: to the running backs James Conner and Chase Edmonds. They're

1010
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 1: both on the bench for me. They're splitting touches almost evenly,

1011
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,319
Speaker 1: which makes it tough to target them in a good week.

1012
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:38,400
Speaker 1: But this isn't a good week because the Browns defense

1013
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:43,799
Speaker 1: is top ten against runners and basically every category yards, receptions, touchdowns,

1014
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 1: all of it worth noting that now might be a

1015
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:49,479
Speaker 1: good time to acquire one of them in trade, though,

1016
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 1: because the Week seven bipocalypse is coming and the Cardinals

1017
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:58,880
Speaker 1: get Houston next week. So uh. Nick Chubb on the

1018
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 1: other side, he has been ruled out. Cream Hunt is

1019
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:05,359
Speaker 1: very questionable with a wrist injury and maybe a game time.

1020
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:09,799
Speaker 1: He's got melodies. I think he goes here. He did.

1021
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:13,239
Speaker 1: He didn't practice on Friday, Um and the Cards. The

1022
00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:15,840
Speaker 1: problem is the Cards have allowed only one total touchdown

1023
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 1: to the running backs through five games. So it's just

1024
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 1: a C grade for me on a lot of people.

1025
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:27,319
Speaker 1: I mean, tell tell me why he should be in

1026
00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:30,440
Speaker 1: the top ten. It's they're they're not allowing scores. He's

1027
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 1: just gonna get twenty plus touches and several receptions. It's

1028
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 1: been so good. He's my number ten right running back

1029
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:39,239
Speaker 1: this week. Um for me? Anyway, that's you know, it's

1030
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:42,240
Speaker 1: up to you. The good backs have gotten it done

1031
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:47,839
Speaker 1: against this defense. Cook, Robinson Henderson have have averaged one

1032
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:50,760
Speaker 1: thirty three total yards per games. A lot of yards,

1033
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:53,399
Speaker 1: not a lot of scores. The oh yeah, okay yards count. Yeah,

1034
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 1: I guess um, I'm keeping Baker Mayfield on the bench.

1035
00:55:56,719 --> 00:55:58,960
Speaker 1: I did mention that Chandler Jones looks like he's gonna

1036
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,759
Speaker 1: miss this week but the COVID designation. But it doesn't matter.

1037
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:05,840
Speaker 1: Baker won't put up air bear numbers. He's averaging too

1038
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 1: and less than a score per week. Arizona is only

1039
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,839
Speaker 1: allowing two yards and a score per game through the air.

1040
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 1: The only wide receiver that I can put on the

1041
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 1: field for me is Odell Beckham, who I'm giving just

1042
00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:23,719
Speaker 1: a C grade of Nightma Perimeter wide receivers have had

1043
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 1: the most success against the Cards this year. Picking on

1044
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 1: Marco Wilson, who missed last week due to injury but

1045
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 1: has been upgraded the questionable this week. H Wilson has

1046
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 1: already allowed three scores in his coverage in four games.

1047
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:39,880
Speaker 1: If h Wilson doesn't go, he's probably fourth stringer. Antonio

1048
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 1: Hamilton's who lines up with O'Dell. Still. The targets have

1049
00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:46,319
Speaker 1: been there, but the connection between Beckham and Baker has

1050
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:49,360
Speaker 1: never quite come to fruition. I'm not starting any of

1051
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 1: the other wide receivers, and don't chase David and Joeku's

1052
00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:55,920
Speaker 1: box score from last week. It was huge, it was awesome.

1053
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:59,720
Speaker 1: But in the last seventeen games, the Cardinals have allowed

1054
00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:02,920
Speaker 1: ex actually one touchdown to the tight end position, and

1055
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:06,280
Speaker 1: in that span only two tight ends have topped fifty yards.

1056
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:09,560
Speaker 1: That's it. Remember when the Cardinals were just auto start

1057
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:13,040
Speaker 1: hasn't been where every week years. They figured it out,

1058
00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 1: fortunately for them. I think we should probably take a break.

1059
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 1: I'm trying to. I'm trying to think if I want to,

1060
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:23,800
Speaker 1: I'm tempted to sneak in one more matchup, but I

1061
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 1: really shouldn't. Don't get sneaky. Let's take a break. We

1062
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 1: come back, we get to talk about it. Dalvin Cook

1063
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:33,400
Speaker 1: start the first. We can talk about Dalvin Cook and

1064
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:40,000
Speaker 1: Christie McCaffrey too, right, Buzz. It would have been a

1065
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:43,840
Speaker 1: matchup between the first and second overall pick by consensus

1066
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:46,760
Speaker 1: and fantasy drafts, but now it will be mostly a

1067
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 1: lot of Dalvin Cook. We'll talk about you, Bohabbard when

1068
00:57:48,960 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 1: we come back. Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back to Fantasy

1069
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:12,360
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. We've got a block of matchups for you.

1070
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 1: We'll break down all these players fantasy style, beginning with

1071
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:18,840
Speaker 1: Vikings and Panthers on Paul Charchi and my coast or

1072
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:23,280
Speaker 1: Scott Fish and Matt Harrison on the Viking side. We

1073
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 1: get to see Dalvin Cook at what we believe is

1074
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:29,760
Speaker 1: full strength for the first time since Week two. He

1075
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:33,040
Speaker 1: was great in those first two games, and now he

1076
00:58:33,080 --> 00:58:36,040
Speaker 1: gets the Panthers. This is a bit of a schizophrenic Panther.

1077
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 1: Panther run defense overall, they've been very good, but only

1078
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 1: one back has seen even ten carries against the Panthers,

1079
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:47,800
Speaker 1: and it was Zeke and he destroyed them for one

1080
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:51,000
Speaker 1: hundred forty three yards and a touchdown. And then Paulard

1081
00:58:51,040 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 1: added in a bunch more. Assuming Cook's ankle is going

1082
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:57,400
Speaker 1: to be close to and it looks like he is

1083
00:58:57,560 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 1: not even on the injury report. Um, and he gets close.

1084
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:03,280
Speaker 1: So the twenty one carries per game he was averaging

1085
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 1: through weeks one and two, I think he's looking at

1086
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:08,400
Speaker 1: some big upside here. Well over a hundred yards in

1087
00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 1: a probable touchdown in this game. So and obvious a

1088
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 1: grade for Dalvin Cook in this one. Let's go over

1089
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 1: to the passing game, where it's a little bit murkier. Um.

1090
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 1: Both Justin Jefferson and Adam Feland did not practice Wednesday

1091
00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:24,120
Speaker 1: or Thursday, but got in full practices on Friday. There's

1092
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 1: they've got an ankle and a foot injury, respectively. The

1093
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 1: presumption is that they're okay for this game. And I've

1094
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 1: got a B grade on Justin Jefferson. Panthers allowing just

1095
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 1: one dwenty eight yards to opposing receivers. That is the

1096
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:40,200
Speaker 1: fourth fewest, and they're really they're strong at every cornerback spot,

1097
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 1: but especially like Dante Jackson and even for that matter,

1098
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:46,200
Speaker 1: a j Blue has also been shockingly good in the slot.

1099
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 1: Now that said, Justin Jefferson is way better than either

1100
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:50,800
Speaker 1: one of them. He had a hundred yards in the

1101
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:53,960
Speaker 1: first half of last week's game before the Vikings moronically

1102
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:57,400
Speaker 1: decided to just stop throwing at him. So the presumption

1103
00:59:57,480 --> 00:59:58,840
Speaker 1: is here that he's gonna be able to beat those

1104
00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:00,440
Speaker 1: guys that do at least some degree at a B

1105
01:00:00,600 --> 01:00:04,280
Speaker 1: grade for Justin Jefferson, let's talk through theland now. With

1106
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 1: Clint Kubyak offensive coordinator Clint Kubyak seemingly unwilling to throw

1107
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 1: down field, Theeeland has become oddly touchdown dependent, with fifty

1108
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:16,960
Speaker 1: yards or fewer in four of five games. When those

1109
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 1: touchdowns are there, he's fine. But with that little yardage

1110
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:23,919
Speaker 1: you need those touchdowns. Uh. Fortunately he's got a chance

1111
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 1: against Carolina. They've allowed multiple touchdowns to receivers twice already

1112
01:00:27,720 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 1: this season, So we could be one to Jefferson, one

1113
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 1: to theel in here um. But yardage should be tough

1114
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:34,000
Speaker 1: to come by. As I mentioned earlier, just the fourth

1115
01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:37,080
Speaker 1: fewest passing yards and so this might be sort of

1116
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:40,440
Speaker 1: typical feeling in this game. So that leaves us with

1117
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:44,160
Speaker 1: kirk Cousins, despite winning the one of the best deep

1118
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 1: passing arms in the league, as I alluded to just

1119
01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 1: a moment ago there, he's not being allowed to throw

1120
01:00:49,560 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 1: down field. In fact, the Vikings have the second fewest

1121
01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:55,920
Speaker 1: passes of more than twenty yards in the entire league,

1122
01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:57,560
Speaker 1: So the Vikings don't think he has one of the

1123
01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:03,680
Speaker 1: best downfield deep pass not which is absurd. Um Caroline

1124
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 1: is a defensive line is getting a fair amount of pressure,

1125
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:09,520
Speaker 1: which is pretty impressive. Considers a lot of anonymous names

1126
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 1: on that and on the back end, as I mentioned,

1127
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 1: they've got some decent cornerbacks back there. But I think

1128
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:17,200
Speaker 1: between Justin Jefferson and Adam Feeland there's enough here for

1129
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins will be startable. But I've only got a

1130
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:22,440
Speaker 1: C grade on him. Let's go over to the Carolina side,

1131
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:26,200
Speaker 1: Touba Hubbard is you're starting running back. Christian McCaffrey will

1132
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 1: not play in this game. It's a nice spot for Hubbard.

1133
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:32,640
Speaker 1: Although you know, watching a lot of Hubbard's play, I'm

1134
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:35,600
Speaker 1: not exactly wowed by him. I think he's good, I

1135
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:38,640
Speaker 1: don't think he's great. I don't think he's a natural receiver.

1136
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 1: Although They did throw to him six times last game,

1137
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 1: and he caught five for thirty yards. But so he

1138
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:48,919
Speaker 1: can catch, but he's not he's not Christian McCaffrey obviously.

1139
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 1: And you know, we know that Minnesota ranks twenty nine

1140
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:55,680
Speaker 1: in yards per carry and almost five yards per carry,

1141
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:59,120
Speaker 1: and they're missing their run stuffing defensive lineman Michael Pierce.

1142
01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:02,040
Speaker 1: So Tuba Robert here actually with a pretty good ground

1143
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:04,440
Speaker 1: game coming. I don't think he's gonna get a lot

1144
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 1: done through the air, as I mentioned. And get this,

1145
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:12,480
Speaker 1: the Vikings have allowed one running back receiving touchdown in

1146
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 1: their last twenty seven games. So again, it's all got

1147
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 1: to come on the ground. And that's why Chuba Hubbard

1148
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 1: is a B and not an A and an otherwise

1149
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 1: solid start. Let's go to the passing game. Sam Donald

1150
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:26,600
Speaker 1: comes in with a B. I'm not fully sold on

1151
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:30,080
Speaker 1: the Vikings as an improved overall defense. Um they have

1152
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 1: held three straight quarterbacks in check, but they've also faced

1153
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 1: a mixed bag of passers Russell Wilson, which was impressive.

1154
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:40,600
Speaker 1: Then Baker Mayfield and Jared Goff together averaging just two

1155
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:44,000
Speaker 1: eighteen passing yards and less than half a touchdown per game.

1156
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:47,040
Speaker 1: Vikings pass rush has improved and the Caroline has got

1157
01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:50,720
Speaker 1: a a bottom ranked pass blocking offensive line, and so

1158
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:54,080
Speaker 1: it's possible the Vikings do get some real pressure on Donald,

1159
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:57,560
Speaker 1: which would which would end up impacting his ability to

1160
01:02:57,560 --> 01:03:01,080
Speaker 1: get the ball down field if nothing else. Now, Donald's

1161
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:05,200
Speaker 1: also been running for touchdowns. Get this, The Vikings have

1162
01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:12,200
Speaker 1: allowed one quarterback rushing touchdown in their last forty five games.

1163
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 1: So I will assume Donald's not going to help you

1164
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 1: there either. So I've gotta be grade on Donald. But

1165
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:19,600
Speaker 1: it's it's a wobbly B. And at one point I

1166
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 1: had him as a sea and then I went back

1167
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 1: to a B grade on Donald. Um, I think he

1168
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:31,480
Speaker 1: tried to get around one. Now be grade on Sam Donald.

1169
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:35,400
Speaker 1: D J. Moore is an A grade on paper. The

1170
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:38,720
Speaker 1: Vikings past defense does look improved of late, but the

1171
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:41,920
Speaker 1: receivers they face have been utterly punchless. With Detroit and

1172
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:46,280
Speaker 1: Cleveland and against the Bengals, Cardinals and Seahawks. Minnesota allowed

1173
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:48,320
Speaker 1: to receive the top one hundred yards and find the

1174
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 1: end zone in all of those games. And more is

1175
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 1: the guy that gets virtually all the work. He's eclipsed

1176
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:54,920
Speaker 1: one hundred yards and two of the past three games,

1177
01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:57,040
Speaker 1: and he's found the end zone twice in that span.

1178
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:59,920
Speaker 1: He's also led the Panthers and targets in each of

1179
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:02,520
Speaker 1: the last three straight games. He lines up on the

1180
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:06,240
Speaker 1: right side more than any Carolina receiver, which gives him

1181
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:10,880
Speaker 1: the coveted but shod brelan matchup for DJ Moore, and

1182
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:15,680
Speaker 1: that makes him an A grade. Let's talk Robbie Anderson.

1183
01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 1: Should we really need to so frustrating? Right? So, Anderson's

1184
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:27,080
Speaker 1: got the size and deep speed to get past Patrick

1185
01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:30,520
Speaker 1: Peterson and siren Sam Donald's actually throwing to him more

1186
01:04:30,880 --> 01:04:34,160
Speaker 1: eighteen targets in the past two games to Robbie Anderson,

1187
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:37,000
Speaker 1: and he was targeted last week in the end zone

1188
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 1: two times in either one came together in took in

1189
01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:43,280
Speaker 1: one of the plays, I think it was Anthony Avan

1190
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:46,600
Speaker 1: made a diving, leaping tip of the ball did not

1191
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:50,280
Speaker 1: get out of Robbie Anderson's hands and otherwise Anderson would

1192
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:53,440
Speaker 1: have had a long connection in last week's game. If

1193
01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:56,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna get another nine targets against the Vikings secondary,

1194
01:04:56,680 --> 01:04:58,959
Speaker 1: I think Robby Anderson gets something done for at least

1195
01:04:58,960 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 1: one deep hook here. White outs with eight or more

1196
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 1: targets against the Vikings average seven catches, nine yards and

1197
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:10,840
Speaker 1: almost one full touchdown. I'm betting the under for Robbie.

1198
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:14,040
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna hit those numbers. Um, Anderson

1199
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:16,160
Speaker 1: only gets to see because I worried. As I mentioned earlier,

1200
01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:19,200
Speaker 1: does Donald have the time to set up these deep passes? Um?

1201
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:22,280
Speaker 1: But I do like him with a C grade in

1202
01:05:22,320 --> 01:05:26,160
Speaker 1: that game. Let's go to our next matchup, Dallas Cowboys

1203
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:30,040
Speaker 1: taking on the New England Patriots. Scott Ezekiel, to my eyes,

1204
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 1: has looked rejuvenated. The offensive line has been awesome. Any

1205
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:37,640
Speaker 1: reason to think twice about Ezekiel Elliott in this game?

1206
01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:40,480
Speaker 1: He's he's running hard, as you mentioned the twenty one

1207
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:44,480
Speaker 1: carries last week. He's he's averaging eighteen touches the game. Uh.

1208
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:49,600
Speaker 1: Pollard's averaging like twelve point six touches and he looks

1209
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:52,360
Speaker 1: good too. I have Elliott with an A grade and

1210
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 1: Pollard with a C grade. In this one. Elliott says

1211
01:05:56,040 --> 01:05:58,440
Speaker 1: he's fine after he landed on the pylon on his back.

1212
01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:00,440
Speaker 1: You know, he came in like two three days later

1213
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:04,200
Speaker 1: and scored a touchdown, so that's not a concern. Uh. Uh.

1214
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:07,880
Speaker 1: The New England Patriots are allowing the ninth most running

1215
01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:11,720
Speaker 1: running back touches nearly twenty nine per game, so I

1216
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:13,760
Speaker 1: can see a twenty to ten split here and I

1217
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:16,400
Speaker 1: got both starting grades on both of them. In the

1218
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:18,720
Speaker 1: passing game, Dak Prescott, I'm giving an A grade to

1219
01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:23,640
Speaker 1: shocking Dak Prescott three more touchdowns in four games this year.

1220
01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:26,720
Speaker 1: Pats have been solid against quarterbacks, but the high end.

1221
01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 1: The only high end when they played was Brady and

1222
01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:33,480
Speaker 1: they sold out to stop him. Um Davis Mills went

1223
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:38,520
Speaker 1: for three hundred Prescott to Um on the in in

1224
01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:41,920
Speaker 1: the passing game. I have B grades on Cooper, Lamb

1225
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:44,320
Speaker 1: and Shultz. I think it gets split up a lot

1226
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:46,080
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of running because they'll get the lead.

1227
01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:48,560
Speaker 1: So I'm only giving B grades, but I'm giving them

1228
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:50,920
Speaker 1: on all of them. Uh, Cooper Lamb, neither of them

1229
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:56,080
Speaker 1: exploded since that Week one game, but they's a little

1230
01:06:56,120 --> 01:07:05,320
Speaker 1: Lambi no and his voice will be heard yards and

1231
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:08,000
Speaker 1: an occasional score is what they do basically every game,

1232
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:10,280
Speaker 1: and I think they do that again here. Be great

1233
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:12,800
Speaker 1: for Dalton Schultz. The Pats are great against tight ends,

1234
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 1: but you have to consider that the best tight end

1235
01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:18,960
Speaker 1: they faced this year was Cameron brad The absolute best

1236
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:22,680
Speaker 1: it was Cameron Brad. Dawson has six catches in four

1237
01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:26,040
Speaker 1: the five games. Six catches is a good good amount

1238
01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:27,880
Speaker 1: of work for a tight end, So I'm giving him

1239
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:30,520
Speaker 1: a B grade. On the other side, by the way,

1240
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:34,920
Speaker 1: the Cedric Wilson cats pretty good. When Michael Galla, Michael

1241
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:37,000
Speaker 1: gaps in his contract here. When he's done, he's off

1242
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:38,439
Speaker 1: the team. I think at the end of this year,

1243
01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:42,320
Speaker 1: Cedric Wilson's gonna be gonnas. Yeah, they're not gonna miss up.

1244
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:45,600
Speaker 1: On the other side, mc corkle Jones was my take

1245
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:49,240
Speaker 1: a chance on me player. Uh. Jacoby Myers, I got

1246
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:50,840
Speaker 1: the C grade on him, but you could talk me

1247
01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:53,440
Speaker 1: into higher. Uh. He now has a hundred and sixteen

1248
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:56,400
Speaker 1: receptions and one thousand, three hundred ninety yards and no

1249
01:07:56,560 --> 01:08:00,000
Speaker 1: touchdowns in his career in the NFL, which is crazy

1250
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:02,200
Speaker 1: as an NFL record for the amount of receptions with

1251
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:06,840
Speaker 1: no touchdowns. The Cowboys they've given allowed the fifth most

1252
01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:11,160
Speaker 1: yards receivers, including six different receivers over ninety yards, five

1253
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:15,040
Speaker 1: different receivers scoring. Myers is averaging nine targets per game.

1254
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:16,879
Speaker 1: I kind of want to give him a be just

1255
01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:20,200
Speaker 1: just to help him score down. That's it. I'm giving

1256
01:08:20,280 --> 01:08:22,720
Speaker 1: him a C grade. So he steps it up and

1257
01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:27,759
Speaker 1: tries to adown here fan fantasy. Fantasy experts love Jacobe

1258
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:29,439
Speaker 1: Myers and they talk about him all the time, and

1259
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:31,640
Speaker 1: this big bust out has coming. I look at him

1260
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:34,160
Speaker 1: and I go when I watch him playing like he's okay,

1261
01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:41,200
Speaker 1: he's yeah, yeah, he's their only receiver. Yep. Hunter Henry

1262
01:08:41,240 --> 01:08:42,920
Speaker 1: has really stepped it up as of late, so I'm

1263
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:44,800
Speaker 1: giving him a C grade. He's got at least four

1264
01:08:44,840 --> 01:08:48,000
Speaker 1: grabs in three straight and at least thirty yards in each,

1265
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 1: which isn't a lot, but he's getting more and more

1266
01:08:50,160 --> 01:08:53,439
Speaker 1: work scored In two straight, every tight end to catch

1267
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:56,040
Speaker 1: four passes against Dallas top fifty yards and they combined

1268
01:08:56,080 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 1: for three scores. So there's there's some work there for Henry.

1269
01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 1: I'm giving up on John, Yeah, you kind have to it.

1270
01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:02,479
Speaker 1: It's just he's just not getting the ball enough. And

1271
01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 1: I look, I don't get it. They loved him enough

1272
01:09:04,320 --> 01:09:06,840
Speaker 1: to pay him an absurd amount of money. They identified

1273
01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 1: the greatness that is John U. Smith and then they

1274
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:12,120
Speaker 1: never give him the ball. I love the reverse jinks.

1275
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:14,920
Speaker 1: You're trying to play off. I'm all right, I'm out.

1276
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:18,759
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm bitter, I'm sad and broken on John U, JOHNU.

1277
01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:21,759
Speaker 1: I have the entire running game on the bench. Harris

1278
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:24,439
Speaker 1: has been limited this week practicing. He split a lot

1279
01:09:24,479 --> 01:09:26,800
Speaker 1: with Stevenson last week. Bolden is the guy that gets

1280
01:09:26,840 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 1: the receptions and teams just don't try to run on Dallas.

1281
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:33,280
Speaker 1: They're they're all all the second least run attempts behind

1282
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:36,000
Speaker 1: the bucks. I believe it's not a good situation for

1283
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:39,800
Speaker 1: any of them. And now an exciting moment. We we

1284
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:42,519
Speaker 1: he's out in the green room again. Yeah, let's go.

1285

Speaker 1: Colin mccockney, he was here last you're nice enough to

Speaker 1: Kitty Boys from Florida. Wow. I can barely understand that,

1296
01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:29,519
Speaker 1: but Brian gave me a quick lesson on how to

1297
01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:33,559
Speaker 1: understand what you're saying. You're Cockney to English translation. Yes,

1298
01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:35,840
Speaker 1: and that just means the Dolphins and the Jags are

1299
01:10:35,840 --> 01:10:40,120
Speaker 1: gonna play football in London this Sunday. All of those words,

1300
01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:44,439
Speaker 1: all right, all right? Ta has been bony and trap

1301
01:10:44,720 --> 01:10:49,080
Speaker 1: and Mickey bliss since the rubber dub for the Sweeney

1302
01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:55,360
Speaker 1: Todd Wow, TA hasn't been very good. He's only had

1303
01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:58,800
Speaker 1: multiple scores in one of his last seven games where

1304
01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:01,200
Speaker 1: he played the complete game. I think that something like that,

1305
01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:03,840
Speaker 1: you know your voice inflection had a lot of questions

1306
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:05,800
Speaker 1: in there that I did not hear from Colin. Well,

1307
01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:08,679
Speaker 1: Bryant is the expert. He he gave me a quick

1308
01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:12,559
Speaker 1: trading course. I've tried to understand the word why Oh's

1309
01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:16,680
Speaker 1: Jags have been roast park in a raspberry tart right

1310
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:21,519
Speaker 1: up the sausage roll, rub a dub three and a

1311
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:27,320
Speaker 1: few mince pies. See I think mince pies are Yeah,

1312
01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:30,920
Speaker 1: scores happen, so yeah, yeah, So this week he gets

1313
01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:33,760
Speaker 1: the Jags team that's allowed three hundred yards and or

1314
01:11:34,080 --> 01:11:38,120
Speaker 1: multiple scores to four the last five qbs they faced.

1315
01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:42,599
Speaker 1: He's giving to a C grade. It sounds like boy

1316
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:47,080
Speaker 1: Davante Grassy park Boy, he won't loop the loop, not

1317
01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:51,439
Speaker 1: get the jam Jar Waddle, Waddle, twot and Toddle gets

1318
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:55,280
Speaker 1: an Irish pig, while he'll kick in prance. Okay, So

1319
01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:00,679
Speaker 1: this is getting harder and harder to read figure out.

1320
01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:04,720
Speaker 1: Davonte Parker is out this week, so while Jail and

1321
01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:08,840
Speaker 1: Waddle has had around seven targets per game. Uh, he

1322
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:12,120
Speaker 1: faces a Jags defense that's allowing two yards per game

1323
01:12:12,120 --> 01:12:16,320
Speaker 1: to wide receivers, although only two scores to wide receivers.

1324
01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:22,519
Speaker 1: So he's giving Waddle a B grade. Lady Godiva Big

1325
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:29,320
Speaker 1: and Quickie Gasicky will hap an inch. He's schuffed because

1326
01:12:29,400 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 1: Twa gave him for duke of cants on an elephant's trunk.

1327
01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:38,400
Speaker 1: Now that's definitely touchdowns. Micasecky gets a C grade. He

1328
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:41,120
Speaker 1: caught four touchdown passes from two in the last five

1329
01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:44,040
Speaker 1: weeks of the season last year, and the Jags have

1330
01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 1: allowed four touchdowns to the position already this season. Miles

1331
01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 1: Gaskin grade duck and dived do he Hank Marvin for

1332
01:12:54,920 --> 01:12:58,040
Speaker 1: a tuddy and dick cows and kisses. Jags gave a

1333
01:12:58,120 --> 01:13:02,679
Speaker 1: Dicky dot to the chalk farm. See, I understood that perfectly.

1334
01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:07,479
Speaker 1: I'm watched. He gave Myles Gaskin in a grade. Gaskin

1335
01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:10,240
Speaker 1: hasn't scored on the ground this year, but the Jags

1336
01:13:10,280 --> 01:13:12,879
Speaker 1: have allowed the most rushing touchdowns to the running back position,

1337
01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:16,800
Speaker 1: with eight already this year. They're also allowing almost a

1338
01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:20,280
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty four total yards per game to opposing runners,

1339
01:13:20,680 --> 01:13:24,080
Speaker 1: and Gaskin had his most snaps of the year last

1340
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:30,200
Speaker 1: week with a nice sixty share. Oh, Danny Boy and

1341
01:13:30,360 --> 01:13:33,479
Speaker 1: Trevy two legs where Harrison's whistle and flute with a

1342
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:36,720
Speaker 1: side of wonga, he said. He said Dan Arnold and

1343
01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:40,360
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence were Matt's take a chance, Yeah, take a

1344
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 1: chance on me Tossi tosser and catchy catcher. Lo Visca

1345
01:13:46,280 --> 01:13:50,960
Speaker 1: gets a syrup of figs and Ian Marvin gets a skyrocket.

1346
01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:54,880
Speaker 1: No trouble and strife with Tommy Tinder Ziah get a

1347
01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:59,719
Speaker 1: Sherbet dab on Xavian Howard on those tables and chairs, Well,

1348
01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:03,439
Speaker 1: it sounded like he gave Chinault and Jones two different things,

1349
01:14:03,560 --> 01:14:07,240
Speaker 1: but they both mean B grades. Believe it. And the

1350
01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:09,680
Speaker 1: Dolphins were already one of the worst teams in the

1351
01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:12,519
Speaker 1: league against wide receivers, allowing two hundred and six receiving

1352
01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:15,240
Speaker 1: yards and a score and a half to the wide

1353
01:14:15,240 --> 01:14:19,200
Speaker 1: receiver position. Plus they're missing Zavian Howard this week. No

1354
01:14:19,360 --> 01:14:23,760
Speaker 1: one's watching the custard. A fat geezer turns Liza over

1355
01:14:24,120 --> 01:14:27,559
Speaker 1: but walks ride past the jam Roles. I don't know

1356
01:14:27,560 --> 01:14:30,559
Speaker 1: what that means. That didn't make sense, so I'm just

1357
01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:35,160
Speaker 1: gonna give James Robinson, Okay, the Dolphins. The Dolphins red

1358
01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:37,839
Speaker 1: defense is allowing to odd average a hundred and sixty

1359
01:14:38,479 --> 01:14:40,960
Speaker 1: yards and one point six touchdowns of the running back position,

1360
01:14:41,400 --> 01:14:44,000
Speaker 1: and almost all of that goes to James Robinson. I'm

1361
01:14:44,080 --> 01:14:47,599
Speaker 1: gone down with the battle cruise that with Roger's rusted ions,

Speaker 1: Harrison back in. I looked put a mince what's in

1365
01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:04,880
Speaker 1: a mince pie? By the way, it turns out, if

1366
01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:12,760
Speaker 1: mince pie has got mutton, suet, fruit and spices um

1367
01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:16,639
Speaker 1: all past thanks. I think he meant it. I think

1368
01:15:16,640 --> 01:15:19,479
Speaker 1: Colin said that like it's a good thing. Wasn't that too?

1369
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:25,400
Speaker 1: Like two touchdowns? Was two mutton pies? Pie? What the

1370
01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:28,520
Speaker 1: heck happened in here? I wish we had four microphones

1371
01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:30,240
Speaker 1: in the student You know, we really need we need

1372
01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:36,760
Speaker 1: feel like to go in here, cuppy boy boy. When

1373
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:39,799
Speaker 1: we come back Premature Speculation, we'll tell you three players

1374
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:43,040
Speaker 1: you can pick up now that other people will be

1375
01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:45,720
Speaker 1: trying to pick up next week. Find out who they are.

1376
01:15:45,760 --> 01:16:09,200
Speaker 1: When we returned to Fantasy Football Weekly, final segment of

1377
01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:12,360
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly, Paul Charchi and Matt Harrison and Scott

1378
01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:16,320
Speaker 1: Fish with you. This is a segment we call premature Speculation.

1379
01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:19,519
Speaker 1: We're gonna jump you into our next week time machine

1380
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:21,559
Speaker 1: and tell you who to pick up this week that

1381
01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:25,000
Speaker 1: other people will be trying to pick up next week. Scott,

1382
01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:27,719
Speaker 1: you want to go first? Sure? Why not? I'm going

1383
01:16:27,760 --> 01:16:29,800
Speaker 1: with the guy I had is my number two wide

1384
01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:33,160
Speaker 1: receiver coming out of college behind to Marrow, Chase Bateman.

1385
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:35,559
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, go get him. He's coming back this week.

1386
01:16:35,560 --> 01:16:37,960
Speaker 1: He's gonna be working his way back into the offense.

1387
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:40,280
Speaker 1: But as I mentioned earlier in the show. It's an

1388
01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:43,160
Speaker 1: offense that's getting three plus passing yards a game. They

1389
01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:46,280
Speaker 1: need another pass catcher. He's gonna easily take the place

1390
01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:49,120
Speaker 1: of der Verna and James Proche and guys like that

1391
01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:53,000
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins even before the injury. Uh. The opposite spawned

1392
01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:57,120
Speaker 1: spot versus Brown up opposite side of Brown is wide open.

1393
01:16:57,160 --> 01:17:01,120
Speaker 1: It's all him, four plus matchups coming up to Alright, Matt,

1394
01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:04,560
Speaker 1: your premature speculation player is I talked about him a

1395
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:06,880
Speaker 1: little bit earlier. It's justin fields. I gave him a

1396
01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:10,760
Speaker 1: so so starting grade. Uh. He might not do as

1397
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:13,320
Speaker 1: much as we want this week, but next week he

1398
01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 1: gets the Buccaneers and it's the bipocalypse. Josh Allen, dak Air,

1399
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:21,879
Speaker 1: Bear Kirk, Trevor Lawrence all on by next week, including

1400
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:25,920
Speaker 1: Ben roethlisbergers too. But you know whatever, the Bucks have

1401
01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:29,360
Speaker 1: given up a good fantasy day to every quarterback they faced.

1402
01:17:29,439 --> 01:17:33,519
Speaker 1: Even Mac Jones and Jacoby Brissette each went for two

1403
01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:37,320
Speaker 1: seventy five and two scores. So Jalen Hurts just scored

1404
01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:39,040
Speaker 1: twice on the ground to show teams that you can

1405
01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:40,840
Speaker 1: score against the Bucks on the ground. Just now with

1406
01:17:40,880 --> 01:17:43,720
Speaker 1: a running back, so justin fields, he's an interesting play

1407
01:17:43,760 --> 01:17:45,920
Speaker 1: for next week. I'm gonna give you four reasons to

1408
01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:51,519
Speaker 1: roster Marlon Mack, Indianapolis running back. He might get traded

1409
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:55,599
Speaker 1: into a better situation. He's looked good in limited action

1410
01:17:55,680 --> 01:17:57,880
Speaker 1: this year, including last week when he turned five carries

1411
01:17:57,920 --> 01:18:02,160
Speaker 1: into forty seven yards. If anything happens to Jonathan Taylor,

1412
01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:06,840
Speaker 1: Mac would vault into top fifteen running back territory and

1413
01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:10,960
Speaker 1: Indy has the easiest run schedule for the rest of

1414
01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:14,960
Speaker 1: the year. You can dart throw Marlon Mack in tricky

1415
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:17,040
Speaker 1: bye weeks. You know, whatever you need, if you if

1416
01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:20,519
Speaker 1: if you're in a spot, He's a plausible starter in weeks,

1417
01:18:20,680 --> 01:18:22,880
Speaker 1: kind of like this one right here where we talked

1418
01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:26,280
Speaker 1: about him as a possible potential starter. Doesn't get it.

1419
01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:29,759
Speaker 1: Only getting five touches of game is not not ideal.

1420
01:18:29,960 --> 01:18:32,120
Speaker 1: But you know, in a pinch, you could do that.

1421
01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:35,000
Speaker 1: My runner up, by the way, and maybe I'll use

1422
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:37,439
Speaker 1: this guy again next week. Nico Collins. Just keep an

1423
01:18:37,439 --> 01:18:39,920
Speaker 1: eyeing him. He's coming back for Houston and that used

1424
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:42,400
Speaker 1: him like week one or whatever. I think Brandon could

1425
01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:46,320
Speaker 1: get traded that did not happen, but still possible Chris Conley,

1426
01:18:46,360 --> 01:18:49,080
Speaker 1: and you know weently on the show, but Chris Conley

1427
01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:51,800
Speaker 1: is not the future wide receiver for Houston, so they're

1428
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:53,880
Speaker 1: gonna get Nico Collins into the game. A note on

1429
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:56,559
Speaker 1: your market. Marlon Mack coming back from the Achilles ending

1430
01:18:56,680 --> 01:18:58,840
Speaker 1: Joku had a huge week last week, came back from

1431
01:18:58,880 --> 01:19:01,200
Speaker 1: the Achilles. How do we feel about makers? I know it's,

1432
01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:03,800
Speaker 1: you know what, a little better. Nobody's ever really come

1433
01:19:03,800 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 1: back from anis No running back has come back from

1434
01:19:08,080 --> 01:19:14,120
Speaker 1: an Achilles to have a meaningful rushing career. But maybe

1435
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,640
Speaker 1: medical science has just gotten to the point where, you know,

1436
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:19,559
Speaker 1: we can do it now. I don't know. We'll watch

1437
01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:23,160
Speaker 1: Marlon Mack to find out. Seahawks take on the Steelers.

1438
01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:25,680
Speaker 1: Lots of starters in this game. Let's talk through this

1439
01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:28,960
Speaker 1: beginning with the Geno Smith part of it, because that's,

1440
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:31,559
Speaker 1: you know, everything kind of hinges on Smith. So we

1441
01:19:31,600 --> 01:19:34,120
Speaker 1: haven't seen Geno Smith for seven years really in any

1442
01:19:34,160 --> 01:19:36,160
Speaker 1: meaningful capacity. Now we're going to get him for a

1443
01:19:36,160 --> 01:19:39,200
Speaker 1: month of starts. We saw him for about a third

1444
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:41,880
Speaker 1: of a game last week, and he looked pretty good

1445
01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:45,240
Speaker 1: for most of that game until he threw the game,

1446
01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:49,280
Speaker 1: losing interception. Now, in fairness, on that play, tire Lackett

1447
01:19:49,280 --> 01:19:51,400
Speaker 1: fell down, so maybe it wouldn't have been an interception.

1448
01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:54,040
Speaker 1: But that's been what Geno Smith has been all about,

1449
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:57,679
Speaker 1: is the turnover. What I can tell you for sure

1450
01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:05,240
Speaker 1: is Geno Smith eight throwing the beautiful pinpoint rainbow bombs

1451
01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:08,360
Speaker 1: that Russell Wilson throws. That is not in the arsenal

1452
01:20:08,680 --> 01:20:12,519
Speaker 1: for Geno Smith. So I expect fewer passes, fewer deep

1453
01:20:12,640 --> 01:20:16,400
Speaker 1: passes here. Steelers past defense has allowed multiple touchdowns in

1454
01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:19,559
Speaker 1: every game since the opener, and I think Gino gets one,

1455
01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:23,280
Speaker 1: maybe two touchdowns here. But there's still risk with Geno

1456
01:20:23,360 --> 01:20:27,800
Speaker 1: Smith being Geno Smith. Hey, let Gino cook. Come on,

1457
01:20:28,200 --> 01:20:30,840
Speaker 1: let Gino cook. So let's talk through some of his

1458
01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:33,560
Speaker 1: targets now. DK Metcalf's got a food injury watch that

1459
01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:35,960
Speaker 1: we expect him to start when running from his most

1460
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:38,439
Speaker 1: common spot, the left side of the field. Metcalf's got

1461
01:20:38,439 --> 01:20:43,920
Speaker 1: a favorable matchup against sophomore corner James Pierre, who doesn't

1462
01:20:43,960 --> 01:20:46,760
Speaker 1: have the speed to hang with Metcalf and has given

1463
01:20:46,840 --> 01:20:49,880
Speaker 1: up a touchdown in both of his two starts this season.

1464
01:20:50,360 --> 01:20:52,360
Speaker 1: Metcalf's found the end zone in each of the past

1465
01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:55,240
Speaker 1: three games and he's averaging nine yards in those three games.

1466
01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:56,920
Speaker 1: That's great that you just pointed at me, and I

1467
01:20:57,800 --> 01:21:00,000
Speaker 1: knew you'd be I couldn't help it. Laugh my way.

1468
01:21:00,720 --> 01:21:03,400
Speaker 1: My life is fluent in friends, so whenever I do

1469
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:08,559
Speaker 1: in the French accent, it's it's about that be great

1470
01:21:08,680 --> 01:21:11,280
Speaker 1: on DK metcalf see great and Tyler Lockett because he

1471
01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:13,840
Speaker 1: needs those deep passes to fill his box score. And

1472
01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:16,920
Speaker 1: I worry that Gino Smith just isn't going to be

1473
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:20,720
Speaker 1: sending those bombs his way, So still considered sitting him

1474
01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:24,280
Speaker 1: startable here. He's gonna line up most often against Joe Hayden,

1475
01:21:24,560 --> 01:21:28,200
Speaker 1: who is allowing of the passes in his coverage to

1476
01:21:28,320 --> 01:21:30,479
Speaker 1: be completed. So it's still was starting grade unlock it.

1477
01:21:30,560 --> 01:21:33,559
Speaker 1: But we're gonna show some caution here. Gerald Everett returned

1478
01:21:33,600 --> 01:21:35,400
Speaker 1: from the COVID list. But the Steelers have been one

1479
01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:37,200
Speaker 1: of the best tight end defenses in the leagues that

1480
01:21:37,200 --> 01:21:40,360
Speaker 1: are gonna pass on him. Let's go to the running game.

1481
01:21:40,960 --> 01:21:45,040
Speaker 1: It's Alex Collins as the starter on in this Monday

1482
01:21:45,120 --> 01:21:48,920
Speaker 1: night game. Um, they've ruled out Chris Carson. You Um,

1483
01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:51,360
Speaker 1: the Steelers have been a ferocious run defense. Though they

1484
01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:54,120
Speaker 1: haven't allowed of running back touchdown, and they're giving up

1485
01:21:54,160 --> 01:21:58,200
Speaker 1: just eighties six rushing yards and thirty eight receiving yards

1486
01:21:58,200 --> 01:21:59,680
Speaker 1: per game to the position. Now, if you have that

1487
01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:01,800
Speaker 1: together there, you know there's a hundred fourteen yards, so

1488
01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:04,080
Speaker 1: you know we wouldn't mind. Actually tomorrow, that's a hundred

1489
01:22:04,400 --> 01:22:06,519
Speaker 1: thirty three yards. I think if we can get all

1490
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:09,960
Speaker 1: of that to Alex Collins, that would be that would

1491
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:11,559
Speaker 1: be a good game, and we would take that. But

1492
01:22:11,600 --> 01:22:13,960
Speaker 1: Alex Collins, frankly, isn't that good, so I've only got

1493
01:22:13,960 --> 01:22:16,439
Speaker 1: the C grade on him. Opposing runners averaging in the

1494
01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:18,759
Speaker 1: middle of the road four point three yards per carry.

1495
01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:22,800
Speaker 1: We're hoping for a short touchdown for Alex Collins. Let's

1496
01:22:22,840 --> 01:22:27,479
Speaker 1: go over to Pittsburgh, no Juju Smith Schuster, and what

1497
01:22:27,520 --> 01:22:29,559
Speaker 1: we have learned is when you take one of the

1498
01:22:29,640 --> 01:22:32,400
Speaker 1: key receivers off of the field, the other guys get

1499
01:22:32,439 --> 01:22:35,840
Speaker 1: fed big time in targets. And I'm expecting that to

1500
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:39,439
Speaker 1: be the case here, especially for Deonte Johnson. He's already

1501
01:22:39,479 --> 01:22:42,400
Speaker 1: a target hog, and now he gets tons more volume

1502
01:22:42,400 --> 01:22:45,800
Speaker 1: with Smith Schuster out. Seattle's defense is eighth worst in

1503
01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:49,599
Speaker 1: coverage per Pro Football Focus, bottom ten and every meaning

1504
01:22:49,920 --> 01:22:53,960
Speaker 1: meaningful statistical category against the past. And the funny thing

1505
01:22:54,000 --> 01:22:57,839
Speaker 1: is they cut Trey Flowers last week their cornerback, starting cornerback.

1506
01:22:58,120 --> 01:23:01,880
Speaker 1: They replaced him two ago with Sidney Jones. Sidney Jones

1507
01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:05,719
Speaker 1: is two starts at cornerback, has yielded a perfect passer

1508
01:23:05,840 --> 01:23:09,760
Speaker 1: rating in his coverage. They just don't have anybody to cover.

1509
01:23:10,120 --> 01:23:12,400
Speaker 1: So I love Deante Johnson in this game, and I've

1510
01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:14,840
Speaker 1: got an A grade on him. I've got a a

1511
01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:18,120
Speaker 1: grade on Chase Claypool as well. He has got a

1512
01:23:18,200 --> 01:23:20,200
Speaker 1: play of twenty or more yards in three of his

1513
01:23:20,600 --> 01:23:24,479
Speaker 1: four games that he has played, and next Gen stats

1514
01:23:24,520 --> 01:23:28,400
Speaker 1: his Claypool ranked sixth among receivers in yards after catch

1515
01:23:28,439 --> 01:23:32,439
Speaker 1: per reception at seven point eight and fifth in yards

1516
01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:36,360
Speaker 1: per catch over expectation. He's a big time playmaker and

1517
01:23:36,560 --> 01:23:39,720
Speaker 1: this is a Seattle defense that can't stop anybody, and

1518
01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:42,479
Speaker 1: he's got positive matchups all over the field. I was

1519
01:23:42,520 --> 01:23:44,920
Speaker 1: just gonna say, Deante Johnson has ten plus targets in

1520
01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:47,960
Speaker 1: twelve of his last fourteen games. That's that's a lot

1521
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:50,320
Speaker 1: of target is now. Some of them are coming from

1522
01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:53,160
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberg, and those targets are one hoppers his direction,

1523
01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:56,920
Speaker 1: but still um Claypools, by the way, six ft four.

1524
01:23:57,439 --> 01:24:00,920
Speaker 1: No Seattle cornerbacks taller than five eleven, So it's I

1525
01:24:01,040 --> 01:24:03,559
Speaker 1: love Claypool here too. So if I like those two guys,

1526
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:05,800
Speaker 1: obviously I like Ben. And you know what you're getting

1527
01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:08,960
Speaker 1: with Ben. He's been very inconsistent, but he's coming off

1528
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:12,360
Speaker 1: his best game of the year last week, and now

1529
01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:15,240
Speaker 1: he gets this terrible secondary that I've already outlined for you.

1530
01:24:15,560 --> 01:24:18,800
Speaker 1: Four straight teams have thrown for three hundred twenty two

1531
01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:22,160
Speaker 1: yards or move against Seattle. A B grade for Ben

1532
01:24:22,240 --> 01:24:28,639
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger and for those looking for a deep sleeper, Ray

1533
01:24:28,720 --> 01:24:34,080
Speaker 1: Ray McLeod yep, Ray Ray McCloud. He will go into

1534
01:24:34,120 --> 01:24:38,840
Speaker 1: the slot. Not teams Washington might. Washington doesn't play outside.

1535
01:24:39,160 --> 01:24:42,400
Speaker 1: McLeod will face one of the most burnable slot cornerbacks

1536
01:24:42,400 --> 01:24:46,479
Speaker 1: in the league, Ugo Amati converted safety. Pro Football Focus

1537
01:24:46,640 --> 01:24:51,479
Speaker 1: ranks Ugo Amati at cornerback one D ten. Never thought

1538
01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:56,240
Speaker 1: I'd see a day where Cloud versus Ugo. This is

1539
01:24:56,280 --> 01:24:58,960
Speaker 1: it sounds like a video game um or some kind

1540
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:00,920
Speaker 1: of a dance move. I got a little Ray Ray

1541
01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:04,120
Speaker 1: McCloud in me today. This is Ray Ray McCloud C

1542
01:25:04,479 --> 01:25:08,559
Speaker 1: grade take that. Yes, that's taking a chance right there.

1543
01:25:08,680 --> 01:25:11,479
Speaker 1: Last guy in this matchup is Naji Harris. Despite his

1544
01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:15,360
Speaker 1: snapshare decreasing in three straight weeks, he's still seeing tons

1545
01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:17,920
Speaker 1: of rushing attempts, yards and in his yards per carving

1546
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:21,080
Speaker 1: increase in every game, and even against a very good

1547
01:25:21,120 --> 01:25:23,559
Speaker 1: Denver defense last week. A lot of success coming this

1548
01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:26,599
Speaker 1: week against the Seattle team allowing the second most rushing

1549
01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:30,160
Speaker 1: yards and receiving yards to opposing running backs. Hundred and

1550
01:25:30,280 --> 01:25:33,360
Speaker 1: ninety total yards per game they're giving to opposing running

1551
01:25:33,360 --> 01:25:36,759
Speaker 1: backs and Harris gets virtually all of that. A grade

1552
01:25:37,160 --> 01:25:40,240
Speaker 1: for Naji Harris and my highest grade of the week

1553
01:25:40,360 --> 01:25:45,280
Speaker 1: of his career and fantasy A. Fonzie is coming next

1554
01:25:45,479 --> 01:25:49,800
Speaker 1: and when we talk about the Bills taking on the Titans, okay,

1555
01:25:49,840 --> 01:25:53,519
Speaker 1: I'm injecting him into I'm injecting Fonzie into your matchup? Alright?

1556
01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:55,040
Speaker 1: Do you just want to do it for me? Is

1557
01:25:55,080 --> 01:25:58,360
Speaker 1: that that's all right? All right? I have started with

1558
01:25:58,360 --> 01:26:01,759
Speaker 1: the passing game on the Bill side. Josh Allen, Stefan Daggs,

1559
01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:07,559
Speaker 1: you just get throw these in, okay? Yes, I have

1560
01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:11,760
Speaker 1: eight grades on both of them. Dude, uh I think

1561
01:26:11,760 --> 01:26:14,080
Speaker 1: it's pretty obvious. It's a it's a game where the

1562
01:26:14,240 --> 01:26:17,080
Speaker 1: over under his fifty four points. The Diggs is game

1563
01:26:17,120 --> 01:26:19,720
Speaker 1: ten targets a game, Josh Allen scoring three touchdowns a

1564
01:26:19,800 --> 01:26:22,160
Speaker 1: game if you can buy in the pass and rush. Uh,

1565
01:26:22,160 --> 01:26:24,759
Speaker 1: So they have eight grades. We'll go over to Emmanuel Sanders,

1566
01:26:24,800 --> 01:26:27,240
Speaker 1: who's actually wide receiver twenty on the year, where Stefon

1567
01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:31,240
Speaker 1: Diggs is wide receiver twenty five. Crazy enough, Emmanuel Sanders

1568
01:26:31,240 --> 01:26:34,559
Speaker 1: outscoring Stefon Diggs. But that's what four touchdowns will do

1569
01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:37,120
Speaker 1: on the lower volume. He has topped to forty eight

1570
01:26:37,200 --> 01:26:40,400
Speaker 1: yards in every single game, and he's averaging six targets

1571
01:26:40,400 --> 01:26:44,080
Speaker 1: per game. It's okay production going up against the Titans

1572
01:26:44,080 --> 01:26:46,880
Speaker 1: team they're allowing the most yards to receivers, eighth most

1573
01:26:46,920 --> 01:26:51,519
Speaker 1: receptions and fifth most touchdowns. We're five weeks in and

1574
01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:54,600
Speaker 1: they've allowed twelve different receivers to top fifty yards. So

1575
01:26:54,640 --> 01:26:58,120
Speaker 1: I think that's that's like the minimum game in five games.

1576
01:26:58,560 --> 01:27:00,640
Speaker 1: So I have a B grade on Sanders, but you

1577
01:27:00,640 --> 01:27:02,400
Speaker 1: could probably talk me into that A. But it's not

1578
01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:05,800
Speaker 1: quite the Fonzi A. It's a B grade special. He

1579
01:27:05,880 --> 01:27:08,120
Speaker 1: needs the touchdowns he's gotten him A couple of times,

1580
01:27:08,120 --> 01:27:10,120
Speaker 1: but he needs the touchdowns to get that A grade.

1581
01:27:10,880 --> 01:27:16,439
Speaker 1: Over to Dawson Knox. Five touchdowns four games. Yeah, he's

1582
01:27:16,520 --> 01:27:22,479
Speaker 1: racking up, and we need Dawson Knox. Yes, we need

1583
01:27:22,760 --> 01:27:28,080
Speaker 1: on the butt bar. We have a table man. We

1584
01:27:28,080 --> 01:27:30,840
Speaker 1: don't need the button bar. We could just keep doing that.

1585
01:27:30,880 --> 01:27:35,479
Speaker 1: I guess we will manually do that one. Uh, I

1586
01:27:35,720 --> 01:27:38,759
Speaker 1: have a B grade on Knox. Uh, you can convince

1587
01:27:38,760 --> 01:27:41,040
Speaker 1: me to an A here as well. He's becoming a problem.

1588
01:27:41,040 --> 01:27:44,479
Speaker 1: He had four red zone targets last week alone. Um,

1589
01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:48,160
Speaker 1: I barely want to give him a see but uh,

1590
01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:51,040
Speaker 1: he's he's just not quite gained quite enough work, not

1591
01:27:51,120 --> 01:27:53,760
Speaker 1: quite enough targets. If the targets ramp up, then he's

1592
01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:55,920
Speaker 1: going to be a consistent A grade, but B grade

1593
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:59,880
Speaker 1: right now. Over to the running backs, Moss B grade

1594
01:28:00,240 --> 01:28:03,920
Speaker 1: snaps have been increased every week. Over se Singletary is

1595
01:28:03,960 --> 01:28:06,360
Speaker 1: on the bench because it's all Moss now. On the

1596
01:28:06,400 --> 01:28:09,400
Speaker 1: other side, I'm benching Tan Hill, Henry's and obvious A

1597
01:28:09,880 --> 01:28:12,400
Speaker 1: Julio Jones and A. J. Brown are both gonna play.

1598
01:28:12,479 --> 01:28:15,080
Speaker 1: I'm giving them both C grades on the I know

1599
01:28:15,240 --> 01:28:17,080
Speaker 1: that you're awesome after the catch, and if you get

1600
01:28:17,080 --> 01:28:19,200
Speaker 1: a little bit of volume. You'll be playing from behind.

1601
01:28:19,240 --> 01:28:25,320
Speaker 1: You should do something C grade. That's the problem. They

1602
01:28:25,439 --> 01:28:28,840
Speaker 1: only get the C grade because they should get just

1603
01:28:28,960 --> 01:28:30,679
Speaker 1: enough work and they do so much after the catch

1604
01:28:31,040 --> 01:28:34,559
Speaker 1: and Derrick Henry obvious A grade every week, regardless of

1605
01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:37,000
Speaker 1: a week you did. I was just reiterating for our listeners.
