Speaker 1: Com I co host today Brian Johnson and Matt Harrison

10
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: from fanball dot Com. Hi, guys, I am Matt Harrison.

11
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: Yes you are. That makes me Brian Johnson, Yes, and

12
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: I it's it's use that I am Paul Charchion twice

13
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: so just I mean, alright, I thought we had to

14
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: do it that way. The I am. I have to

15
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: make it very clear who's talking. As regular listeners know,

16
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: over the course of the show, we're gonna break down

17
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 1: every game fantasy style, and that means to put letter

18
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: grades on every single mean full player. Tell you if

19
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: they're an ABC or Bench grade. I guess bench is

20
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: not really a letter grade, but you get the idea.

21
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: And we also give your rationale for all of these picks,

22
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: so you get decide whether or not you're on board

23
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: with how with our assessment of how that player is

24
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: going to do. Also, we'll answer three tough questions. You

25
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: get to play along. Try to go three and oh.

26
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: We'll give you nine players upon whom you can take

27
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: a chance, and we'll jump into a time machine to

28
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 1: identify the players that everybody else will be trying to

29
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: pick up next week, that you're already going to have

30
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: because you picked him up this week. Time machine. I

31
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: think we decided the time machine goes Blabo. You kind

32
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: of like the pe pew better. I was more of

33
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 1: a Star Wars elader. I just think the Lorian every

34
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: time we were talking time travel. But I can't do

35
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: it one. I know it's pretty good. I know it's

36
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: got hit eighty eight, that's all I know. We're beginning

37
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: with the Saints taking on the Jacksonville Jaguars. Brian on

38
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: the same side. The storyline here is Alvin Kamara. It

39
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: appears he will not play. Um it's you probably won't

40
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 1: get a definitive ruling until Sunday morning, But you know,

41
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: what do you think about this, especially if it's Latavius

42
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: Murray available on over half of waiver wires. Yeah, news

43
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 1: got worse throughout the week Thursday this, uh, you know,

44
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: the injury popped up that might keep Kamar out. He

45
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: did not practice Friday, so it's not looking too good.

46
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: Let's assume he's not playing here. I guess I think

47
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: I have to probably assume he's not because and if

48
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: he is playing people probably so if he was gonna

49
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: play real quick, he was gonna be a bad matchup.

50
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: But it's Alvin Kamara. You're playing Alvin Kamara, right. He

51
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 1: was my RB nine and a tough matchup, and when

52
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,920
Speaker 1: I thought he was fully healthy because we believe he

53
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: injured himself in practice at the beginning of the week. Now,

54
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: so Latavius Murray is not Alvin Kamara. I'm not breaking news. Yeah,

55
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: And and really it's a brutal matchup. Jacksonville is not

56
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: allowed an opposing running back to top a hundred combo

57
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 1: yards of this season until Christian McCaffrey. And I was

58
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: prepared to say Alvin Kamara is almost Christian McAffrey now

59
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: before the season that would be preposterous, but now it's reality.

60
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: But so brutal matchup this season. Let's go back. We

61
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 1: can go back to Jacksonville has allowed one yard rushing

62
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: game at home since December, which is absolutely is nuts.

63
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: And then speaking back to McCaffrey, he was the first

64
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: running back to top fifty receiving yards against the Jaguars

65
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: in their last eighteen games. Las Murray is going to

66
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: catch that much anyway, so he gets he gets the

67
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: softest see of them all. If Kamara doesn't go, if

68
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: Camara goes, you got to roll the dice on them.

69
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 1: But it's not looking good. So you're back. You're back

70
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: to what Murray always is, which is just the hope

71
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: of a goal line touchdown in little more. I mean,

72
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: the good part is he knows how to take a

73
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: handoff from Teddy Bridgewater specifically. That's maybe the highest level

74
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: point in this game. There is history there, that's for sure.

75
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: Now let's go to the a land where Michael Thomas

76
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: lives because Jacksonville likely to be without Jalen Ramsey for

77
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 1: a third STRAIGHTE game. I don't know this thing's gone.

78
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, the owner said he thought he'd play,

79
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: and then Ramsey said, I'm still in pain this I

80
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: never listened to owners personally, I don't know. He has

81
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: not practiced as far as we know, all right, So

82
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,600
Speaker 1: if Ramsey plays easy, be okay, because it's Michael Thomas,

83
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 1: he's matchup proof Ramsey doesn't go, it's an a. Uh.

84
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: They won't shadow Thomas with A J. Booyer, who was

85
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: a very good corner as well. But Booya didn't even

86
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: shadow dj More last week, so I doubt they have

87
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 1: him shadow Michael Thomas. Long story short, you're starting Thomas regardless,

88
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: but whether Ramsey goes or not, Ted Ginn Trey Kwan

89
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: Smith both dart throws, and I'm not endorsing they're both

90
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: on the bench. Jared Cook gets a start. Agree with

91
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,119
Speaker 1: the seat just because this is one of the worst

92
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: weeks for tight ends I can remember in the history

93
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: of fantasy football. Jacksonville was looking like a decent matchup

94
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: for opposing tight ends. Travis Kelsey at eighty eight yards,

95
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: Delaney Walker sixty four, Noah Fanse scored a touchdown two

96
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Then Greg Goldson drops a goose egg last

97
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: week on only two targets. But uh, I don't know.

98
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: I would still start Cook. He's in top twelve territory,

99
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: has been targeted six times in each of the last

100
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,480
Speaker 1: two games. Scored last week. He's a warm enough body

101
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: at the position Teddy Bridgewater, warm enough to posted big

102
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: numbers against Tampa Bay. But the Bucks stop here with Jacksonville,

103
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: the jackson Hill three or five opposing quarterbacks who won

104
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: or zero touchdown passes. It all depends on Jalen Ramsey

105
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: here too for Bridgewater. For Ramsey doesn't go, he gets

106
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: a sea kind of a take chance on me type guy.

107
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,679
Speaker 1: If Rancy plays easy Ben for Teddy. Speaking of which,

108
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: time to give a posthumous peacock. I don't know where

109
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: where's my peacock? Sound bread? Where's my peacocks? Said? Thank you?

110
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: There we go? Uh to Christian Peterson last week's show,

111
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: nailing Teddy Bridgewater as is take a chance on me quarterback,

112
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: but he found Teddy's second ever game with more than

113
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:57,920
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. Unbelievable call by Christian Peterson. We give him

114
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: the posthumous Christian didn't die, but he's not on the show.

115
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: Feel free to continue ch That's it for the Saints.

116
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: Over to the Jacksonville side, starting with Leonard Fournett can

117
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,239
Speaker 1: give him a b here ground totals for notable opposing

118
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: backs against and Rowlands have been alarming so far. Todd

119
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: Gurley six for sixty three, he did not score. Chris

120
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: Carson fifteen carries for fifty three yards on the ground.

121
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: Then Zeke had eighteen carries for only thirty five He

122
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: did manage to score. But um, there's no way you

123
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: bench Leo, but you temper your expectations. The Saints have

124
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: not allowed a top twelve performance for running back yet

125
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: and the front seven is the healthiest it's been all season.

126
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: So just to B for four net almost to see

127
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: U D J Chark d D. Westbrook can even both

128
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: of B because it all depends on who gets Marshawn

129
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: Ladder on the outside. These two kind of cycle in

130
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: and out because almost never plays a slot in. Westbrook

131
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 1: runs almost entirely out of the slot, so he does that.

132
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: They've both been funneling in and out. But Chark is

133
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: the safer play and by the way, wasn't even drafted

134
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: and wide receiver three right now he is. You think

135
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: he's safer, see, I think he gets a lot more

136
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 1: because Chark's gonna get a lot more. I think way

137
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: more because again, Lattimore doesn't go to the slot it'll

138
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: be P. J. Williams in the slot. That's D. D. Westbrook.

139
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,679
Speaker 1: That's why I think Westbrook's actually safer, even though Chark's

140
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: obviously been dramatically better to this point. They're gonna don't know,

141
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna move. They're not gonna be a hundred percent

142
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: one guy in the slot. That's all I'm saying. They're

143
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: gonna go back and forth. So if I had to

144
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: pick one, I'm kind of with you where I think

145
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 1: Um Lattimore is on Charking more than Westbrooks, so but

146
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: I'm still giving both to be. But Lattimore stifled Mike

147
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: Evans and A Mary Cooper over the last two weeks.

148
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 1: He's yeah, big time worry and Gardner minshew. I know.

149
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: We'll talk about more getting to be this week. Currently

150
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: quarterback eleven and most formats and apparently an even better

151
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: fantasy football player. Have you heard about this? We'll talk

152
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: about that more. We'll keep it to the matchup. Saint Sartain,

153
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,239
Speaker 1: middle of the pack and passing touchdowns allowed with eight,

154
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: but they have recently stifled James Winston and Dak Prescott,

155
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: holding both under two hundred twenty five passing yards. That said,

156
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: New Orleans has allowed four rushing touchdowns to quarterbacks, and

157
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: Minshew has games of seven carries for forty two yards

158
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: and six He's a dual threat, so he's a safe

159
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: be It's crazy to say, but Minshew Minshew has been

160
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: fantasy startable every week of the season so far. Matt,

161
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: let's go to Dallas taking on the Jets. Last week,

162
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: Dallas screwed themselves over, I believe, by choosing a pass

163
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: heavy game against the Packers a bad run defense. Now

164
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: they get the Jets. Jets are another team you can

165
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: run on. I wonder if they don't, you know, correct

166
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 1: back towards a Zeke heavy game plan here. What do

167
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: you think? Well, they are a middle of the pack

168
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: run defense that's still missing c J. Mosley, and Zeke

169
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: has averaged over the running back snaps and touches over

170
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. I'm still giving him an A.

171
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 1: I know people are a little bit bummed about his

172
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: production in the last couple of weeks, but I think

173
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna be totally forgotten on fanball Where's Dred this week?

174
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: I'd probably play him in the fan Ball five dek Prescott.

175
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: I'm giving an A grade to seventent of decks passes

176
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: they're traveling further than any yards downfield. That's the third

177
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: highest rate and deep balls in the league. His passer

178
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: rating on those deep balls one sixteen point seven. Plus.

179
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: He gets left tackle Tyrann Smith back from an ankle

180
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: injury this year. He's going to clean up against another

181
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: bad defense which he normally torches. Amari Cooper and Michael

182
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 1: Gallup both getting as Both of these guys at fourteen

183
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: targets last week, and the outside corners are the weak

184
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: spot for the Jets. Truemaine Johnson and Darryl Roberts have

185
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: allowed seventy two completion percentage, giving up three four yards

186
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: and three scores so far this year. Randall Cobbs on

187
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: the bench because slot corner Brian Pool is actually kind

188
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: of good. He's only allowed fifty six yards on the season,

189
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: and Jason Witten's on the bench. He's not seeing enough

190
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 1: targets and totally touchdown degrade it. On the other side,

191
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: there's one one, maybe two is starting grades Levy on Bell.

192
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 1: I'm giving an a grade two because maybe the Packers

193
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: uncovered something last week because Aaron Jones racked up a

194
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: hundred eighty two total yards and four scores. No not

195
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: saying Bell is gonna get that, but say Kwan total

196
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty nine total yards against Dallas. Kamara had

197
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: eighty nine and that weird Sunday nighter that was super

198
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: low scoring a couple of weeks ago. Dual threat backs

199
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 1: have had some decent success against Dallas and Levy Ons.

200
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: One of those. Andy gets Sam Donald back in the lineup,

201
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: and that only upticks I think his production a little

202
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: bit more. Donald's on the bench. Though his spleen is

203
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: healed enough to allow him to play, It's too bad

204
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: his line could still get him killed. The Jets are

205
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: worse than the league in tackles for loss, sacks, and

206
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: quarterback hit rate. The Cowboys have not allowed a passing

207
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: score since Week two, and only one quarterback is top

208
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: tundred forty yards against them this year. I am giving

209
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder a tepid C grade and Robbie Anderson's on

210
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 1: the bench. Of course, in Donald's only game this season,

211
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 1: he copiously targeted slot receiver Crowder seven times against Buffaloeen

212
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: and the open right yep and then Uh the only

213
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: wide receiver to top seventy five yards against the Cowboys

214
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 1: this year was Michael Thomas working mostly from the slot.

215
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 1: And then, of course we liked Chris Herndon to come

216
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 1: back this week, but then he got a hamster ring

217
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: injury working out on his own last Friday. So thanks

218
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: Chris Herndon for not coming back. We waited this long

219
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: for Herndon, and now you gotta wait at least a

220
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: couple more weeks. Eagles take on the Vikings in Minnesota

221
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: will start on the Eagle side where Jordan Howard has

222
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: been an absolute Viking killer. He's one of two players

223
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: to have topped one yards in Minnesota going all the

224
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: way back to the sixteen season. That's Jacksonville like. That

225
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: is Jacksonville like. And with Chicago last year, he put

226
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,719
Speaker 1: up hundred nine yards and two scores in Minnesota in

227
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: the season finale of last season. So he's a guy

228
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: that Vikings have always struggled to handle. And here he

229
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: comes into this game having scored five times in his

230
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: last three games. He's seeing far more snaps and carries

231
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: than Miles Sanders over the last three games, and he

232
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 1: gets a B grade here. Miles Sanders hits the bench

233
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,040
Speaker 1: trending the wrong way on both playing time, goal line

234
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: usagen fumbles. We're going to keep him on the bench

235
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 1: for this game and a tougher matchup. As for the

236
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: passing game, Carson Wentz gets a b Vikings have allowed

237
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: almost two touchdowns per game, which is double last year's rate,

238
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: when they only gave a fifteen passing touchdowns on the

239
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: entire season. Cornerback Xavier Roads or is he a lot

240
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: now legs to be called x Xavier Rhads as of

241
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: this season looking noticeably worse than previous seasons against a

242
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: better Viking secondary. Last year when these teams met, Carson

243
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: Wentz through for three and eleven yards and two scores,

244
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: and then again the secondary was playing better then. So

245
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: I still like Carson Wentz in this matchup. All Sean

246
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: Jeffrey could have a good game here. He's got ten

247
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: days off so he should be at full health. He

248
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: sort of hobbled through last week's game. Another sort of

249
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 1: notable Viking killer from these days with the Bears. He

250
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: used to go off off of the Vikings, especially here

251
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. He's averaging seven targets per game. He's scored

252
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 1: twice um Minnesota secondary. Again, I think he's gonna get.

253
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna get Xavier Rhads in this one

254
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: and again Roads, just words, usually gets the most physical

255
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: guy the opponent gives you, and that's gonna be all

256
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 1: Sean Jeffrey. No'm just not loving what I've seen out

257
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: of Roads, so I've got to be great and all

258
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: Sean Jeffrey. And this one Nelson Aghilar on the bench.

259
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: Vikings have been very good against slot corners for years,

260
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: and especially from Mackenzie Alexander Returns. I'm particularly nervous about

261
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: Aglar slav receivers this year, averaging thirty four yards per

262
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: game against the Vikings, and that leaves us with zach Ertz,

263
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: who gets a solid A grade. The Vikings have allowed

264
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: the fourth most tight end receptions the tenth most yards.

265
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: I think it's a focal point of this game. Let's

266
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: go to the Viking side. Vikings offense revolves around Dalvin

267
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: Cooko gets a B grade here. He's now run for

268
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: at least one hundred ten yards in four of his

269
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: five starts, and he's averaging over five point three yards

270
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 1: per carry in those four good starts that he's had

271
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 1: Basically everything but the Chicago Bear game. On the flip

272
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: side of it. Though the Eagle's rank number two in

273
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: yards per carry, they've yet to allow back to the

274
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: top forty four rushing yards. Uh. This is a tough matchup,

275
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: but only three point two yards per carry allowed. It's

276
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: kind of strength versus strength, Dalvin Cook versus Eagles. I'm

277
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: gonna give him a B grade for this one. Then

278
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: to go to the passing game with Kirk Cousins, I'm

279
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 1: nervous about the Vikings offensive line holding back an excellent

280
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 1: Eagles pass rush that ranks fourth best by Pro Football Focus.

281
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: All of Kirk's wartz surface when he has to make

282
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: quick decisions under pressure, but working in his favor is

283
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: a really ratty Eagle secondary riddled with injury to key

284
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: players like Donald Ronald Darby, Avante Maddox they're both out,

285
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: and Rodney McLeod, who looks like a game time decision.

286
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: Those would all be key losses there. Stefan Diggs and

287
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: Adam Feeland both have strong matchups with with those guys out,

288
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: and let's talk about them individually. By the way, see

289
00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: great on Kirk Cousins. A grade on feeling because prior

290
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: to facing Luke Falk last week, Eiggle secondary was allowing

291
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: the most yards per game to opposing wide receivers, and

292
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: because Theelan works the slot, he would go up against

293
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: Orlando Scandrick, who was on the streets two weeks ago.

294
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: And I know Scandrick had a flashy game last week

295
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: with a couple of sacks, and he's gord a defensive

296
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: but he's not a very good cover corner so and

297
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: makes you look good. Now, well, there there is that

298
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: um Stefon Diggs gets a B grade. Working almost entirely

299
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: on the outside. He's going to see competent cornerbacks for

300
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 1: a Seul Douglass and Sidney Jones. But I think Diggs

301
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: is still waiting for that give me the ball game,

302
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: and I think that's could be coming here where they

303
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: try to play Kate Diggs a little bit. He didn't

304
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: get all the passes I'm sure you'd have liked to

305
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: have had last week. This might be the one where

306
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: they try to feed him a few extra times. A

307
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: B grade for him. So we have homecoming games for

308

Speaker 1: Chance on Me? We paid nothing for the song, you

330
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: paid nothing for the advice. We begin at the quarterback position.

331
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: Brian who day I got Andy Dalton at Baltimore. I

332
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: tried that last week. It didn't work out. It works.

333
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: Why I can make Marcus Mariot to work a couple

334
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, I can make Andy Dalton work at Baltimore.

335
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 1: It wasn't that bad. Actually, Dalton's had had a good

336
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: season actually, from a fantasy five games he's been fantasy. Well,

337
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: they're trailing before the National Anthem even ends, so it's

338
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,680
Speaker 1: positive game scripts for the Bengals. But that's why I

339
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: like him here. But I also like him because already

340
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: without their top two cornerbacks this week Jimmy Smith who's

341
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 1: not gonna play in Tavon Young who was lost in

342
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: the preseason. The Ravens just lost starting safety Tony Jefferson Um.

343
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,639
Speaker 1: So that's great news for Dalton, who has nine passing

344
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 1: touchdowns over his last three games against the Ravens, who

345
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: were already one of six teams with an opponent passing

346
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: percentage north of which is top six in the league.

347
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: So fire up, Bandy, Dalton, Fire up the bed rifle. Alright, Firecrots.

348
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: Would you want to say, Oh, stop, Matt, that's what's

349
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: your take a chance to e quarterback? Let's come to this,

350
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,439
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield is no longer a guy that you can

351
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: auto start, and for good reason. His line has been awful.

352
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: He's been inaccurate, but that changes this week. The Seahawks

353
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 1: deploy one of the league's worst pass rushes there twenty

354
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: six and saccurate and worst in the NFL and QB

355
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: hit rate. They also allowed Andy Dalton to throw four

356
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. I believe I called that one

357
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: and weak ones. Take a chance on me. Backups, Yeah,

358
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 1: thank you. Backups. Mason Rudolph and Teddy Bridgewater didn't put

359
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: up huge yards, but each through for two scores, plus

360
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: Jared Goff nearly hung four hundred on them last week.

361
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield gonna have a good day this week, all right.

362
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: Just come to this. The Baker Mayfield is to take

363
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: a chance in mean quarterback Kyle Allen takes on. The

364
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: Buccaneer is a secondary that is completely collapsed. Over the

365
00:18:54,320 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: past month, four inconsistent passers have dominated the Buccaneers three

366
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 1: hundred seventy five yards yikes average, three seventy five and

367
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: two touchdowns per game. North Turner has asked Kyle Allen

368
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 1: to be very efficient. To this point, he's only thrown

369
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: twenty six, thirty four and thirty passes. But that change

370
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: is here. Tampa seeing the most passing attempts in the

371
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,639
Speaker 1: league forty four per game. So Kyle Allen's gonna get

372
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: some volume in there too. He's actually inside my top

373
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: ten among quarterbacks this week. Let's go to the running

374
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 1: back position, Brian, Who's gonna take a chance of me? Runner? Oh,

375
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: Dion Lewis at Denver And I know I just kind

376
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: of side and discussed there, but I think there's hope

377
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: for Dion if there's any sort of PPR format involved

378
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 1: in your league. The Broncos are one of nine teams

379
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 1: to yield at least forty targets to opposing running backs.

380
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: Catch totals from opposing back fields over the last four

381
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: games are nine, eight, five, and six. Derrick Henry only

382
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: has three targets over the last three weeks, so Dean

383
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: Lewis has re established himself as the past catching down

384
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: back in that offense. And Denver has also allowed the

385
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: second most read zown red zone touches two running backs

386
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: this year. So if you are a super desperate and PPR,

387
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: Dion Lewis is your guy, all right, I got a

388
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 1: shod Penny because Cleveland's run defense has had some problems

389
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,240
Speaker 1: of late. Last week, both Matt Brita and Tevin Coleman

390
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: top nine yards on the ground all and all, they

391
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 1: gave up to forty five on the ground of the

392
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: San fran Backs. That's a team that is very committed

393
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 1: to the run, and the Seahawks are similarly committed to

394
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 1: the ground game. Seattle has the fifth most rushing attempts

395
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,959
Speaker 1: in the league. Uh the Niners are the third. By

396
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: the way, Plus, we're still on fumble watch for Chris

397
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 1: Carson as he could see some major bench time with

398
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 1: another drop. In week two prior to Penny getting hurt,

399
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: the split was fifteen carries for Carson and ten for

400
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 1: Penny as Carson Carson's fumbling issues were coming to light.

401
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: Penny is healthier now than last week. I kind of

402
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 1: like him here, all right. It's a it's a speculative

403
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 1: I would say, you know what, isn't a speculative move?

404
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: My guy? And oh do I love might take a

405
00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 1: chance of me running back to available by the way.

406
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: In scent of leagues Gus Edwards, he faces a Bengals

407
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: team giving up three hundred total Sorry, two hundred total

408
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: yards makes it better. It would have been even better.

409
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: It's believable. Two hundreds total yards per game to running

410
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: backs and almost two touchdowns per game to opposing running backs.

411
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: And it's not just the starters. And by the way,

412
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: Mark Inger's might number one ranked running back this week,

413
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 1: the backups are getting paid as well. Jeff Wilson, Jalen Samuels,

414
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: and Chase Edmonds have already faced the Bengals and average

415
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: sixty eight total yards and over a touchdown per game

416
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: between them. Gus Edwards might take a chance of me

417
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: running back, Brian give me the you're take a chance

418
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 1: to me receiver? For this week, I'm doubling down on

419
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: Huday Nation with Tyler Effort at the ravens Um again.

420
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 1: Starting safety Tony Jefferson done for the year with the

421
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 1: m c l um he will be. He will be

422
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: replaced by Chuck Clark, who has seen just thirty targets

423
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: over his short career. You made that name up, and

424
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 1: in those thirty targets, Chuck Clark has allowed twenty one

425
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: catches for two nine yards and four touchdowns. Jeez, really,

426
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 1: so that direct that bet against Tyler Iffort that's insane directly, yes,

427
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 1: And before Tony Jefferson even went down, Baltimore had allowed

428
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: the second most yards who tight ends over the last

429
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,439
Speaker 1: three weeks, and everyone was on effort last week against

430
00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,199
Speaker 1: the Cardinals. Infest, this is your chance to pounce on

431
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: recency bias on fanball because roster Lifort, no one wants

432
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 1: to be on ifort. He's gonna be super low owned

433
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: and a great h a great player to help you

434
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: win a tournament this weekend. So Tyler Iffort, let's go.

435
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: I've got Keyshan Johnson of the Cardinals. He saw the

436
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: field one pent of the snaps last week, which was

437
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: boosted a little bit by the Christian Kirk injury. But

438
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: it really doesn't matter if Kirk goes this week, as

439
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: Johnson runs most of his routes as a boundary receiver.

440
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: Guess who else ran their routes against the Falcons as

441
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,199
Speaker 1: an outside receiver last week. Well, it was Will Fuller

442
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: who went for fourteen catches to seventeen and three scores.

443
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: And you know he came. He got tack at the

444
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: one twice. That would have been a five touchdown receiving

445
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: game and would have given him the biggest scoring game

446
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: in the history of fantasy football, if he had gotten

447
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 1: those two more yards. Well, and get this, the week before, A. J.

448
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: Brown scored twice in top ninety yards, Corey Davis top

449
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: ninety yards and score. Prior to that, t Y Hilton

450
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 1: at six and a score, and Nelson Aglar went for

451
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 1: one oh seven and a score. They can't cover the

452
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 1: outside receivers. The only team that stopped them was the

453
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: Vikings in a game where they threw ten passes. Johnson,

454
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: the only team they've stopped is the Vikings Keyshawn Johnson.

455
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: I like it. In fact, I had planned to use

456
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: Keyshaw Johnson for my ticket to night, but you got

457
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: him in first. I am in set going with Kiki Cutie.

458
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: I like that too though, and Deshaun Watson. His fantasy

459
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 1: football is highest scoreing quarterbacks, so of course we're interested

460
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 1: in anybody who might catch any of his passes. He's

461
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: rounding into form from last year's a c L injury,

462
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: and he's seen his snap counts rise dramatically over the

463
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: last two weeks, and last week had a really nice

464
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,040
Speaker 1: yard gained across the middle of the field, and into

465
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 1: my eyes, he looked a hundred percent healthy, Kiki Cutie,

466
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: he is startable in a strong matchup against Kansas City

467
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: slot cornerback Kendall Fuller, who has already allowed to scores

468
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: in his coverage to this point of the season. Key

469
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: Key Cutie, let's work in one more matchup. Brian, you

470
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: already gave us two Bengals that you like, but there's

471
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: probably more. I'm guessing Tyler Boyd is a strong play

472
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: in this one as well. Yeah, Tyler Boyd helps Andy

473
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: Dalton's prospects definitely this week. Enjoying a nice season again

474
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: because of the positive game scripts the Bengals are providing

475
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: the passing game. Boyd runs nearly seventy of his routes

476
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: from the slot, which sets up nicely against the Ravens,

477
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 1: who have surrendered big box scorers from the seams. Jarvis

478
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 1: Landry eight for one sixty seven, Christian Kirk and Larry

479
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 1: fitz Jerald both top two hundred yards running out the slot,

480
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:47,919
Speaker 1: and then Juju had seven for seventy five and a

481
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: touchdown recently, and Boyd has top seventy yards in each

482
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,840
Speaker 1: of his last three games against Baltimore with two total

483
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: touchdowns during that span. I'm give him an a. Actually,

484
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,120
Speaker 1: I like Tyler Boyd that much. Slot receivers killing Baltimore.

485
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 1: I'm not giving and take a starting grade though A. J.

486
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: Green not gonna make his return, by the way, Boundary

487
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: receivers have struggled against Baltimore even with the latest injury

488
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: to the secondary. I got audented on the bench this

489
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 1: week and Joe Mixing, I want to give him a

490
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: be he feels like he should be a b every week.

491
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 1: But the Bengals just so bad. But I mean, he's

492
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 1: only scored once in four meetings with Baltimore, by the way,

493
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: but they really the Ravens aren't well. Yeah, but it's

494
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: history of Baltimore just once in four meetings. But the

495
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: Ravens aren't that tough on paper. Outside of the opener

496
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: against Miami, they've allowed at least one rushing touchdown to

497
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,479
Speaker 1: a running back in every game, and they've also yielded

498
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: the fourth most red zone touches to the position. You're starting, Mixing,

499
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna temper my expectations just because that old

500
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: line is so brutal and give him a sea here

501
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,600
Speaker 1: and that does it for the Baltimore side. Over to uh,

502
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: I'm sorry for the since he side now over to

503
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: the Baltimore side. Mark Ingram, you said was your number

504
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: one running back this week. I couldnot argue that he

505
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: gets an easy A. Probably an a the fantasy Fonzie,

506
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 1: since now Cincinnati allowing more than five yards per carry

507
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: and they've rendered the most receiving yards to running backs.

508
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: So Ingram in an obvious smashed spot, and so is

509
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards. Probably your take a chance of the runner charge. Uh,

510
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 1: he gets an easy starting grade two in this matchup.

511
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: Mark he's Brown was prepared to give him a pretty

512
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: solid be but now he is doubtful to play news

513
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: coming out on Friday, so I don't think we can

514
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,919
Speaker 1: expect him to go. I guess you could put Miles

515
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: Boykin in his spot. It was a boomer Bus scenario

516
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: for Brown um since he has allowed the fifth most

517
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: past plays of twenty plus yards, but opposing wide receivers

518
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: were only averaging fifteen targets. As a whole. The league

519
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: runs to or against funnel to the run, So you

520
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 1: know I'm saying Boykin is on the bench. I would

521
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 1: have given brown is starting grade, and I was close

522
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 1: to give Willie Snead a starting grade. But uh, since

523
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 1: he actually defends the scene pretty well. So basically all

524
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,360
Speaker 1: the receivers on the bench if Brown doesn't play, which

525
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 1: looks like he will not. Mark Andrews not on the bench,

526
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 1: though he gets a b has seen a least seven

527
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 1: targets in every game. The Bengals are allowing a modus

528
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 1: three catches forty three yard three game to opposing tight ends.

529
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: But it's such a waste land you're starting Mark Andrews

530
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 1: and you're definitely starting Lamar Jackson this week, no kidding.

531
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: So when these teams met last November, l Jacks carried

532
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: the ball twenty seven times for a hundred and nineteen yards.

533
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: Those days are over. I think of the seven carry

534
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 1: game for him, but probably he did some quarterback stuff too,

535
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: but yeah, some quarterback stuff like passing quarterback stuff. Well,

536
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: Tyler Murray ran the ball ten times fore and a

537
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: touchdown last week, and yes when it when it comes

538
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 1: to passing the ball, since he's not good at defending that,

539
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: they've surrendered multiple touchdown passes and three out of five

540
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: games when teams don't even need to throw against them.

541
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 1: So l Jack's probably guess a fantasy funzi too. A.

542
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 1: I think you just named our podcast. Every week, poor

543
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: Brianne has to come up with some pithy name for

544
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 1: this week's edition of the podcast. I think quarterback Stuff

545
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: is gonna end up being the pithy name for this

546
00:27:54,800 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 1: week's podcast. The signature daily fantasy contest of fanballed Comm's

547
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,160
Speaker 1: called the fan Ball five. Why five? You might ask

548
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:06,160
Speaker 1: why it costs five dollars? That makes sense. The salary

549
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: cap is fifty five thousand dollars. And if you've got

550
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: the highest scoring player at the five positions quarterback, running back,

551
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver, tighten defense, you hit the fan Ball five

552
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: jackpot of well, that's two thousands. It really ought to

553
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: be five, but it's two thousand dollars. The fan Ball

554
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: five five bucks to play with, the ten thousand dollar

555
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 1: prize pool, and the two thousand dollar fan Ball five bonus.

556
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: Two thousand is divisible by five. There's that. Go to

Speaker 1: taking on Tampa Bay. Is there any stopping Christian McCaffrey

561
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: even against a great Tampa run defense? Will tay when

Speaker 1: when we talked about the London game, we were like,

571
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: thankful that it's a regular time start. Well, we're not

572
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: so lucky on this one. It is an eight thirty

573
00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: a m. Central time start. Seven thirty No, that would

574
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: be nine thirty Eastern at six thirty am Pacific. That's ridiculous.

575
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 1: I don't know why they do that. Maybe we'll find

576
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: out from our returning London correspondent. Hellou, well, you might

577
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: want to. People may remember you from last week. It's

578
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: calling mccockney. It's me calling mccockney. Let's have a good

579
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 1: old chin wag. I've got a chuckle block of great

580
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 1: stats for your governor. You're chuffed. I'm yes, yes, I do.

581
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: I want to be chuffed. Christian McCaffrey gets the atrak.

582
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: We're held to fifty three total yards and the chuff

583
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: in week two meeting. Well, you'll have to excuse me,

584
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: my my cockney is a little rough. Hey, it's been

585
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: a while since I spent that summer backpacking through Europe

586
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,719
Speaker 1: and phil for what's my backstory? And some some cocky

587
00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: last We didn't call them cockneed lasted last. No, not

588
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: she sister cock need last man that they needed. We

589
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: didn't call him that, or at least I didn't call

590
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 1: what was her name? I forgot her name the way

591
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: you go through him. Yeah, Carol, totally so. But I

592
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: believe what Collins said was. Christian McCaffrey was held to

593
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: fifty three total yards in the week two meeting. Kamara

594
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: did Bob's your uncle one of four yards last week

595
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: on twenty two touches, But he did manage one and

596
00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 1: four total yards last week on twenty two touches. Yeah, yeah,

597
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen, your have a chance on me. Yes, we

598
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 1: will take a chance on Kyle Allen, D J. Moore

599
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: and Curtis Samuel get the bees knees, bees knees, you say, wait,

600
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: I know that one. I think you're giving them to

601
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: be great the bleeding Pirates allowed. I didn't even have

602
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: to sleep with some cockney last to find out that

603
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: was the nah. The Pirates have allowed over three to

604
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: four straight teams, that would be the Buccaneers have allowed

605
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: over three yards? Is what you say, Colin yards yards,

606
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: Lord Love a Duck. Seven different wide receivers have topped

607
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 1: eighty yards in the last far weeks. Know what I mean,

608
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: Gluten Samuel ninety one and week two. I actually do

609
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: know what you mean. You ever spend a summer on

610
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: a pirate ship? Not with bleeding pirates either, Greg Olson,

611
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: blindy hey grade alright, Geza. As far as tight end

612
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: matchups go, this is a good one, sorted mate, Yeah,

613
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: as far as I did matchups, this is a good one.

614
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: Don Bennett. Olson had six for one ten and the

615
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: previous meeting and the Bucks have given up a tight

616
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 1: end scour in a free straight weeks scour would be

617
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: a touchdown. So three straight tight end touchdowns over the

618
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: last three weeks the Bucks have allowed. You say hi

619
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: or the Pirates. Ronald Jones and Bayton Barber on the bench,

620
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: Lord Love a Duck. Jones at the most touches. Last week,

621
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 1: Barbara had the most snaps. Daria had the most routes

622
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,200
Speaker 1: around know what I mean? Yeah, I think everyone knows

623
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: what you mean there. No, I'm I'm I'm unclear. Jones

624
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: had the most touches. Okay, week Barbara had the most snaps,

625
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: had the most past routes. Run. A lot of disparity

626
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: between the backs there, just is what Colin is trying

627
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: to say here. Yeah, Barbara had two carpet eighty two

628
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: and one and the first meeting and was scarred in

629
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: the carpet over the last roarf games. So if I

630
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,479
Speaker 1: had to pick one, it'd be Barbara or not. What

631
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: I mean, rar is a word I think you said.

632
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: Barbara had twenty three carries for eighty two yards and

633
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: a touchdown in the first meeting and has scored in

634
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: three of the last four games. James, So if he

635
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: had to pick one, it would be Barber, he says.

636
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston clock start blindy. Winston is one of only

637
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks to top two hundred yards against the Panthers

638
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 1: this season. Winston one of two to top two hundred

639
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: yards again is the Panthers this season. That's right, Jameis

640
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: Winston is one of those guys. Since the beginning of

641
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, Jamis has had twenty touchdown twenty picks ratio

642
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: and facing zone defense. Is enough said? Enough said there,

643
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 1: I think we got it. Mike Evans clock starts zero

644
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: catches last week, hasn't scoured touchdown against Carolina in ching straight.

645
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 1: That meant Mike Evans zero catches last week and hasn't

646
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown against Carolina in five straight, ching five,

647
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: and it's top sixty one yards only once during that

648
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:42,359
Speaker 1: same five game stretch. Chris Godwin a lot above the

649
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: passer rating. When targeted Chris Godwin has pulled a blinder

650
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: one fifty six point three. The passer raiding of quarterback

651
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 1: Jamis Winston when targeting wide receiver Chris Godwin is an

652
00:34:53,920 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: almost perfect one five six point three at EIGHTE the

653
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,720
Speaker 1: last meeting from the slot, that's Carolina week, spot, isn't it?

654
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,920
Speaker 1: It is? It is? I think I think I know

655
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: what that was. We got that one, all right, Howard Bench,

656
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: we know that one too, all too well. What about

657
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 1: fantasy baseball leagues, Colin mccockney, everybody, nicely done, Colin mccockney.

658
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, your London correspondent chiming in. It's

659
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: always it's always good to hear from Colin Houston takes

660
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: on Kansas City. This is a This is a tricky

661
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 1: one with a lot of moving parts. You're gonna have

662
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 1: to work with me on this, particularly on the Kansas

663
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: City side where we've got a number of variables here. First,

664
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: for Patrick Mahomes, normally in a start, get this no way.

665
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 1: I'm not giving him an A, giving him in a B,

666
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,560
Speaker 1: giving him to be Did Colin come in and teach

667
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 1: you how to Jamaican? Heard something? I don't know what

668
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 1: that was. He's got the ankle injury, he's got the

669
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,359
Speaker 1: makeshift offensive line likely missing starting tackle Eric Fisher and

670
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:59,919
Speaker 1: starting guard Andrew Wiley. And we don't know the stat

671
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: us of Tyree Hill. We believe Sammy Watkins is not

672
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 1: gonna play. There's a lot of moving parts here, so

673
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 1: I've only got to be great. And Patrick Mahomes is

674
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: one of the few times you may be able to

675
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: put somebody else in your line up ahead of him.

676
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 1: So let's talk about some of the other elements of

677
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: the passing game, including Tyreek Hill. If he's active. I

678
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 1: guess a. Watkins was listed as doubtful on Friday, right,

679
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: so I don't think, um, Tyreek Hill, if he's active,

680
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 1: I assume that means he'll play, and he'll probably play

681
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 1: most of the snaps, I guess um, but maybe not

682
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: all of them. So you're gonna have to factor in that.

683
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,400
Speaker 1: You know, he probably doesn't play all of the snaps.

684
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: He runs from all over the field, left right slot,

685
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 1: and he if he runs from the slide, he will

686
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: match up with Bradley Roby, who used to be good

687
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: at Denver. That was a long time ago. He's the

688
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 1: middle of the back cornerback now and it's Tyree Hill,

689
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 1: and you're probably gonna start Hi, but I've gotta be

690
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: great on him because of the potentially reduced snap count.

691
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: What about the other receivers, you may ask, Well, assuming

692
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:57,800
Speaker 1: Watkins doesn't go, you could probably still start DeMarcus Robinson

693
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,680
Speaker 1: and met Cole Hardman um, but if Tyreek Hill returns,

694
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: it probably hurts those guys some too. And Robinson Hardman

695
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 1: will split time against Jonathan Joseph and Lonnie Johnson cornerbacks.

696
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 1: They're both highly burnable. They rank and five at the

697
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 1: cornerback position by Pro Football Focus. I've got a C

698
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: grade on both Robinson and Hardman. If Tyreek Hill doesn't go,

699
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: you could probably bump them up to bees just because

700
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: they'll get they will get more usage here. But overall,

701
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 1: I don't love either one, and I think the C

702
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: grades probably just about right. Then. The running game has

703
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,439
Speaker 1: got a fair amount of of of difficulty built into

704
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: it as well. Because los Sean mccoyinally got the two

705
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:42,320
Speaker 1: touches last week, he had that highly reduced role. That's

706
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 1: probably a chunk of why they end up losing that game.

707
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna try to use them a lot

708
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 1: more this time around, and the Texans are giving up

709
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: on total yards to opposing running backs, so there's still

710
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: enough to go around. I know McCoy burned you last week,

711
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: but I think you can get him back in your

712
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,399
Speaker 1: lineup this week. I've got a C grade on him.

713
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,879
Speaker 1: See Gray down Damian Williams, who got all the work

714
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: last week but didn't do anything with it. You ever

715
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: just two point six yards per carry, and his season

716
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 1: average is only one point eight yards per carry for

717
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: Damian Williams. Meanwhile, McCoy season averages five yards to carry,

718
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 1: so at this point with Damian Williams are really down

719
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 1: to him being a PPR running back. And fortunately Houston

720
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: has allowed the most running back receptions in the second

721
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: most running back yard so Damian Williams remained startable with

722
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: a C grade. Last guy's Travis Kelsey. I've only got

723
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,400
Speaker 1: a B grade on him as well. Kelsey faces a

724
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 1: Houston defense that's given up just thirty yards to tight

725
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: ends per game and hasn't allowed to score. That's it.

726
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 1: So it is a tough matchup for Kelsey. And again

727
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: all the questions on Holmes with the ankle of the

728
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: offensive line, maybe Kelsey's gonna have to stay back in

729
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,719
Speaker 1: block more. All of that together and I don't I'm

730
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:50,919
Speaker 1: I'm nervous about Kelsey to the point that I've given

731
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 1: him a rare B Houston side of the ball. I

732
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 1: love both of the running backs in this game. Carlos

733
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,360
Speaker 1: Hide should be poised for very nice game in a

734
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: revenge game. Brian not sunch of revenge game, but it's

735
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:07,719
Speaker 1: a revenge game. There's no way in the history of

736
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,799
Speaker 1: fantasy football anyone who's loved both running backs from the

737
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: Houston Texans in the same game but there might have

738
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: been a Steve Slayton um Arian Foster game. Maybe I

739
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: don't know, a crossover one. Maybe Kansas City is allowing

740
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,360
Speaker 1: the fifth most rushing attempts, the most rushing yards, and

741
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: five point three yards per carry. I like Carlos Hyde.

742
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: I like Duke Johnson. Johnson last week is coming up

743
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: season highs and rushing attempts and rushing yards. And here's

744
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:41,240
Speaker 1: a great stat that we've unearthed. He's out snapped Carlos

745
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: Hide by fifty pent in the to Houston losses. If

746
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 1: you think Houston's gonna lose to the Chiefs, Duke Johnson

747
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: maybe the better play. Then we go to the passing game.

748
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson is an obvious a and the Chiefs have

749
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: allowed quarterback rushing touchdown in two of their last three games,

750
00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: and they've actually become pretty solid against the pass. But

751
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: that's most teams just running through them so you don't

752
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 1: have to pass. And unlike the Colts last week, the

753
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: Texans dismal offensive line, I don't know that they can

754
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: just man handle the Chiefs, so I think there will

755
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 1: be more throwing than what we got last week. Deshaun

756
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: Watson remains an a level start. DeAndre Hopkins is an

757
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 1: A start. He's going to see coverage from Bashad Breland,

758
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,520
Speaker 1: who's having a down year. But did you know I'll

759
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: mention hold his own against t Why Hilton last week.

760
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: So there's that. Kansas City has held every opposing wide

761
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 1: receiver except Kenny Golladay and Check since week week one.

762
00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 1: So there's that. And I know Hopkins is way overdue

763
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: for a big game and you've languished with him, but

764
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 1: you still have to start him here. And I've got

765
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:38,240
Speaker 1: an A grade on him and Will Fuller, I gotta

766
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: I'm not just chasing last week's box score on a

767
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: grade here too. As he goes up primarily against chart

768
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: Various Ward in coverage and he's gonna be shadowing Will Fuller.

769
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: That's a huge speed advantage for Will Fuller. We saw

770
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: what he can do last week. I don't think you

771
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: want to leave him on the bench. And Kiki Cutie

772
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 1: was my take a chance on the wide receiver from

773
00:40:55,640 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: last segment. Final matchup of this segment is Tennis taking

774
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 1: on Denver on the Tennessee side. You already told us

775
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 1: you like Dean Lewis in this game. Do you like

776
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: Dan Lewis. I want to believe you're gonna like Derrick Henry. Yeah,

777
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: I like Derrick Henry. I love Derrick Henry and standard leagues,

778
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: he gets the A. I mean, just give him a

779
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: B in PPR leagues. And that's why like Dean Lewis

780
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 1: so much this week. But back to Henry has at

781
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: least seventeen touches in every game, but as I mentioned earlier,

782
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: just three total targets over the last three weeks. Of

783
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 1: the passing game work has sort of dried up, but

784
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 1: Denver is giving up the seventh most rushing attempts, eighth

785
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: most rushing yards, and third most rushing touchdowns per game

786
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,360
Speaker 1: to opposing running backs. They also lost Bradley Chubb to

787
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 1: a torn a c L recently, so Derrick Henry easy

788
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,879
Speaker 1: A and standard B in PPR. As I mentioned, uh,

789
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:46,320
Speaker 1: Dean Lewis has charged mentioned might take a chance on

790
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,720
Speaker 1: me running back. I'm not taking a chance on Corey

791
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,400
Speaker 1: Davis or A. J. Brown in the receiving game. Chris

792
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:53,719
Speaker 1: Harris likely at a shadow Corey Davis, so that's a

793
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,359
Speaker 1: no brainer bench right there. And A J. Brown has

794
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: shown flashes of brilliance, but still not a full time player,

795
00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: yet he has yet to see seventy percent of the

796
00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: snaps in a single game. So he's on the bench,

797
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: and so is Adam humphreies. We're not gonna even go there.

798
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 1: Delaney Walker is borderline benchable lately. He hasn't played more

799
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 1: than the snaps over the last two weeks, just two

800
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,359
Speaker 1: catches for fourteen yards over the last two weeks as well.

801
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,399
Speaker 1: Very gross against the tight ends. The Broncos appeared tough

802
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 1: on paper, but the quality of opponents is even grosser

803
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 1: than that. The only true tight end they faced is

804
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 1: Darren Waller, who had a nice game of seven catches

805
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 1: and seven yards in the opener. And outside of that,

806
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 1: the tight end production has been minimal because the opponents

807
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: have been so bad. But here are the target totals.

808
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 1: Four tight ends against Denver, Oakland tight ends ten targets,

809
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: Chicago tight ends nine, Green Bay six, Jacksonville eight, so

810
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,920
Speaker 1: they are involved. Delaney gets a C in the tight

811
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: end waste Land. Marcus Mariota has is on the bench

812
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: though has one or zero touchdown passes and three or

813
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: five games. Four of the five quarterbacks to face Denver

814
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 1: finished well out of the top outside of the top

815
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: twenty and most formats. Aaron Rodgers Philip Rivers combined for

816
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: one touchdown pass this year, easy benching for Mariota over

817
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 1: to the dead under side. Not a not a good

818
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: week for the running backs here, Philip Lindsay, Royce Freeman. Uh,

819
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: still in a timeshare. Inexplicably, eye test will tell you

820
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: Lindsay is the way better back, but he's still only

821
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 1: seen about six of the work. But again, this is

822
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: a brutal matchup. Marlon Mack rushed for fifty one yards

823
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,960
Speaker 1: on twenty carries against Tennessee. Leonard four Nette had sixty

824
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:23,239
Speaker 1: six on fifteen Davante Freeman only twenty eight yards on

825
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:26,400
Speaker 1: twelve carries, none of them scored. Don't expect much from

826
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: your Denver backs this week. And Leonard Fournett the Leonard

827
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: four net game, as I recalled to get to sixty four,

828
00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:33,879
Speaker 1: he had to go for sixty yard run to bring

829
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 1: him back from negative five yards. That is absolutely correct.

830
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:39,839
Speaker 1: Failed to mention that, which is just mind blowing. Really uh.

831
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:42,800
Speaker 1: Also mind blowing has been Courtland Sutton, a top twelve

832
00:43:42,840 --> 00:43:45,280
Speaker 1: PPR wide receiver so far this year, taking a bigger

833
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 1: leap than most expected in his second year, um should

834
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: see a lot of Malcolm Brown in coverage who as well,

835
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 1: who basically sucks. Since the start of last season, Malcolm

836
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,760
Speaker 1: Brown has left ten touchdowns in his coverage, the second

837
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:01,240
Speaker 1: most in football in that span. Um Court and Sutton

838
00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 1: clearly the number one wide receiver now. Manny Sanders is not.

839
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:06,919
Speaker 1: I'll still give Sanders the sea playing in just over

840
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 1: sixty of the snaps last week a little concerning. But

841
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 1: slot receivers like Jarvis Landry and Mohammed san You have

842
00:44:13,120 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 1: had good games against the Titans. So a C for Sanders,

843
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 1: a CEE for Noah fans. Titans have allowed tight end

844
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: touchdown in four or five games and the one game

845
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,800
Speaker 1: they didn't allow a touchdown. Austin Hooper had nine catches

846
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 1: for one thirty and Joe Flacco, Uh, he's on the bench.

847
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 1: Can't get Wacco with Flacco come up next. Let's answer

848
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 1: three tough questions you can play along try to go

849
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 1: a perfect three and oh on Fantasy Football Weekly and

850
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly on Pauliarchy and from fanball dot Com.

851
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:57,720
Speaker 1: My panel of experts for this segment, Matt Harrison, Brian Johnson, Guys,

852
00:44:57,719 --> 00:45:00,120
Speaker 1: it is time to get into the grinder with three

853
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: tough questions. Actually, you know what. I thought they were

854
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 1: tough questions that I wrote him, but you know, upon retrospect,

855
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're that tough. We'll find out. Listeners,

856
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 1: you better go three and oh and my panel of

857
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: experts especially that much. I like their chances better. Todd

858
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 1: Gurley owners are dealing with injury issues and bizarre usage patterns,

859
00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 1: yet his touchdowns have been enough to maintain his fantasy values.

860
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 1: Should Gurly owners unload him, probably at a discount, or

861
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 1: hold him? Brian Johnson well desplayed having absolutely zero shares

862
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: of Todd Gurley in any format. I guess I'm still

863
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: allowed to say. I was feeling good about him following

864
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 1: last week's game when he played the Snaps saw eighteen

865
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: of the nineteen running back touches. It seems like you

866
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:47,919
Speaker 1: might have been out of the woods for a minute.

867
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:52,479
Speaker 1: And then midweek injury news pops up with a fie

868
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 1: bruise that might keep him out of Sunday's game. I

869
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: doubt that happens, but it just reminds you he's now okay,

870
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: So I take that. So here we go again with

871
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,280
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley. And so we all know the injury concerns

872
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,319
Speaker 1: and and really it's been the knee of and now

873
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 1: it's the thigh and who else knows what's coming down

874
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: the pike, but what it's coming down the pike for

875
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:15,360
Speaker 1: the Rams, specifically the Rams running backs is the hardest.

876
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:19,439
Speaker 1: Uh schedule, Uh where is bad and one is good?

877
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,840
Speaker 1: Is bad? Or good bad? It's bad. They have a

878
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:30,360
Speaker 1: top ten schedules or top ten ten difficult, hardest every

879
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: team defense and hardest defense. Okay, god, I could have

880
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 1: phrased that better. Every team in their division is bottom

881
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,359
Speaker 1: eleven in fantasy points per game allowed to running backs,

882
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 1: meaning fewest amount, very bad. And the best team of

883
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: all might be San Francisco when it comes to running,

884
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: you know, stopping the run game. That's their opponent this

885
00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:51,359
Speaker 1: week and in weeks week sixteen, where you might, well

886
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:53,319
Speaker 1: you can't even trust girlies gonna be healthy, but you

887
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 1: might not even play in week sixteen if he is,

888
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,960
Speaker 1: because San fran looks so legit in their front seven.

889
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:02,840
Speaker 1: So long story, short, sell the slightest discount slight, slightest

890
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 1: any discount really sell girly, all right, I don't have

891
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 1: much more to add to that, but I don't think

892
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 1: that you can sell him even at a slight discount.

893
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 1: You got to sell him at a deep discount right now,

894
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 1: especially with the injury news that's going on and his

895
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: touch total that has been weird and murky at best.

896
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 1: So I'm probably going to hold because I don't like

897
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 1: to sell at a crazy significant discount, and the touchdowns

898
00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 1: have frankly still been there when he's played. Gurley is

899
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: getting twelve carries per game. Twelve. That's just not enough

900
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 1: for anybody to have reliable production. Um, and that's a

901
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 1: prominent of itself. But and then get this. On twelve

902
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 1: carries per game, he's already hurt and it's not even

903
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:52,000
Speaker 1: the chronical lye arthritic knee yet. For Todd Gurley, in

904
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,720
Speaker 1: all probability, this is just the beginning of the injury issues.

905
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: It's uh something in the beginning of the end of

906
00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 1: his career. Unfortunately it actually it actually absolutely could now

907
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:03,279
Speaker 1: those five touchdowns are masking a lot of risk with Gurley,

908
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 1: and the guy you try to trade him to may

909
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 1: look and go, oh, Todd Gurley, he's still top ten

910
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:12,239
Speaker 1: or whatever fifteen in my league scoring system. We're gonna

911
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 1: sell now. It's harder because he's gonna miss this Well,

912
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:17,359
Speaker 1: he's gonna miss this game, and all probability you're gonna

913
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,360
Speaker 1: have to You're gonna have to pay a steeper discount

914
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 1: now than if he had a week ago. Try to

915
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 1: put this in the gentlest way possible. Yeah, Okay, maybe

916
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:30,120
Speaker 1: I'm not target the dumbest owner in your league. You

917
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: know who he is. Well, there are owners who out

918
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 1: there who are they are to take the name value

919
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley, the guy who won with Todd Gurley over

920
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,320
Speaker 1: the past couple of years, who has an emotional attachment

921
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 1: to Todd Gurley. Those are your targets right there, we

922
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 1: are selling. Let's try that question number two. Michael Gallup

923
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:55,239
Speaker 1: has played in two full games, averaging seven catches and

924
00:48:55,440 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 1: one hundred thirty five yards. Does his evolution help or

925
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:04,319
Speaker 1: hurt a Marii Cooper, Matt, you know charged this one

926
00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: did damage my wernickees area a little bit. God, not

927
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 1: a shot to the wernakees. Yeah. And when that happens,

928
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: you start going into long sentences that have no meaning.

929
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 1: You add extra words or create new words. Zizzi Baluba

930
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: and your speech sounds are all messed up. So yeah,

931
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 1: in games that Gallup has played so far this year,

932
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper has six one oh six and one four

933
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 1: forty four and one and eleven two six and one.

934
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 1: That's a score in every game and a two twenty

935
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:39,480
Speaker 1: six yard or in there. In the games he didn't play,

936
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 1: Cooper had a six catch, eighty eight yard and to

937
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: score game. That's good. But five for forty eight that's bad.

938
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: That's his worst game of the year. What's good for

939
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 1: the offense is good for the offense. Michael Gallops only

940
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 1: freeing up Amari Cooper to be a better player. I

941
00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 1: think it's a great thing. It helps him a lot.

942
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, I have the same stats for this season.

943
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:02,240
Speaker 1: I went back the last year two at the time,

944
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:05,120
Speaker 1: by the time Dallas acquired Cooper, he had some monster

945
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 1: games when Gallup didn't even do anything at all. Um

946
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 1: But as Matt said, when Gallup posts wide received wide

947
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 1: receiver one numbers this year, Cooper bests them, and he

948
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:14,839
Speaker 1: did that last year. In the two games they played

949
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: together with Gallop managed the top at least seventy receiving arts.

950
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 1: In Week thirteen, Gallop at five or seventy six, Cooper

951
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,439
Speaker 1: at eight for seventy six Week sixteen, Gallop at three

952
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 1: for fifty three and one. That's the one game where

953
00:50:26,040 --> 00:50:28,359
Speaker 1: Marii Cooper logged just four catches for twenty yards. So

954
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 1: in the four or five games were Um Gallop has

955
00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:35,399
Speaker 1: posted wide receiver one numbers, Cooper still comes out on top.

956
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: So it only helps uh Cooper the evolution of Gallop.

957
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 1: That is, you are correct? How about this? Does it

958
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 1: help Zeke? Does it help or hurt Zeke? To have

959
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:48,840
Speaker 1: both Gallop and Cooper performing at a high level absolutely helps.

960
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: It's good for the offense, is good for the offense?

961
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 1: You are correct? Anything anything. We want as much total

962
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:59,280
Speaker 1: productivity from an offense as we can get without a doubt.

963
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 1: Tough question number three, what's the most common letter grade

964
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: will be giving Gardner Minshew for the rest of this season?

965
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 1: By the way, I think he's going to start the

966
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:11,840
Speaker 1: rest of the games this season. Oh yeah, for sure, Brian,

967
00:51:12,680 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 1: all right right now. As I mentioned earlier in the show,

968
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:17,600
Speaker 1: he's at top twelve quarterback. That basically makes him an

969
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 1: automatic b most weeks. UM he looks legit. DJ Chark

970
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:25,080
Speaker 1: looks legit. Leonard four Nett is legit when he's healthy

971
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:28,760
Speaker 1: and what else is legit is the schedule for Gardner Minshew.

972
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 1: Moving forward, Let's look at week seven through twelve. He

973
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 1: has Cincinnati, the Jets, Houston, Indie, by Tennessee. All of

974
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 1: those teams have allowed eight or more passing touchdowns except

975
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 1: the Jets, who have had their by and then he's

976
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:43,879
Speaker 1: in the top half of passing touchdowns allowed in the week.

977
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:47,400
Speaker 1: Then in weeks thirteen to six, team when it really matters,

978
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 1: he gets Tampa Bay, the Clippers of l A. Just

979
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 1: kidding into the Chargers, the Raiders, and the Falcons who

980
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 1: have allowed forty one passing touchdowns combined already this season.

981
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 1: That's four straight A in week thirteen, Fourtune fifteen, and

982
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 1: sixteen as of right now. And I'll give him an

983
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:07,319
Speaker 1: A against the Bengals and probably Indieu as allowed ten

984
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:10,399
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns. That's the majority of the games I'm giving

985
00:52:10,640 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 1: Gorder mitchew and answer the most common can't common grade?

986
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:16,879
Speaker 1: We even get his A? Yes, Okay, all right, Matt,

987
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 1: I had slightly different answers, but it came up as

988
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:23,360
Speaker 1: a's as well. He had a majority of A grades

989
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:25,399
Speaker 1: in this I had four a's, three b's, and two

990
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:28,840
Speaker 1: seas in my in my matchups. So I'm with Brian

991
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:31,239
Speaker 1: and he can run the ball. We've neither of us

992
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:32,839
Speaker 1: mentioned that too. You've proven you can run the ball

993
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 1: as well. So he runs a bit for sure. I

994
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 1: had one to three four. I have five B grades,

995
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: three a's, only two seas and so I uh, And

996
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 1: here I thought I was being overly optimistic. I'm like, man,

997
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 1: I mean, shoe mania has hit this half of the table.

998
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:50,839
Speaker 1: It really has. I thought I was the highest guy

999
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 1: on Minshew and that I was getting I was crazy

1000
00:52:53,080 --> 00:52:55,239
Speaker 1: to be giving him all these a's, And as it

1001
00:52:55,239 --> 00:52:57,359
Speaker 1: turns out, you guys are even even feed them farther

1002
00:52:57,440 --> 00:52:59,799
Speaker 1: over the moon from than I am. I love. Here's

1003
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 1: the that's thinking about quietly. The best thing about Gardner Minshew.

1004
00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 1: He's been Fantasy viable in every game this year. That's

1005
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 1: something very few quarterbacks can say that they've had no

1006
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 1: flop games. Minshew hasn't had any yet. He's got more

1007
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:20,400
Speaker 1: Fantasy points than Aaron Rodgers or Philip Rivers or Matthew Stafford.

1008
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 1: Might have been counting the buy in there for Staffords

1009
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 1: man on a per start basis, He's outscoring those guys

1010
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:30,280
Speaker 1: five B grade games. B grade is the most common

1011
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:33,919
Speaker 1: grade for Gardner Minshew. Uh, he's a fantastic target right now,

1012
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:35,759
Speaker 1: by the way, go get him available and still in

1013
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 1: plenty leagues and even the ones he's not, you go

1014
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:39,839
Speaker 1: pick him up. And when you factor the quarterbacks who

1015
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 1: have fallen by the wayside, like consensus top ten guys

1016
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:45,800
Speaker 1: a summer, like Baker Mayfield, Aaron Rodgers, and Drew Brees.

1017
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:53,280
Speaker 1: I jokingly mentioned Gardner Minshew just as like a silly

1018
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 1: name of a guy on a roster, and suddenly he's

1019
00:53:57,000 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 1: better than Baker Mayfield. It's not close, doesn't matter of fact.

1020
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:03,400
Speaker 1: So did you hear? Sorry? Really quick? How he he

1021
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:06,799
Speaker 1: dropped everyone in his dynasty league. He burned it down

1022
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:09,000
Speaker 1: and started from scratch. And he's like, so he just

1023
00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:11,320
Speaker 1: relied on the rookie draft and the agent draft. He

1024
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:13,320
Speaker 1: just dropped everyone. And he's currently in first place of

1025
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 1: cords in his own fantasy. I think that's awesome. He's

1026
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 1: probably on his own team, I would imagine, well, I hope. So,

1027
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 1: speaking of Baker Mayfield, Seattle takes on Cleveland, Matt. Let's

1028
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 1: start on the Seattle side. Um, you made some you

1029
00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 1: made a passing reference to our Rashad Penny earlier, You

1030
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 1: like tell he was my ticket chance. I mean that's

1031
00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:34,560
Speaker 1: not passing. I wasn't listening really most true? So what

1032
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:36,719
Speaker 1: do you think about Chris Carson? Then? I still gave

1033
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 1: Carson a B grade. With Penny returning last week, Carson

1034
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 1: still held the touch lead to eight over Penny, and

1035
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 1: Cleveland's defense has been poorous against the run. They've allowed

1036
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 1: five yards per carry to opposing backs this year, So

1037
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:51,640
Speaker 1: Carson still be Russell Wilson gets an A. Is passerrating

1038
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:55,520
Speaker 1: when under pressure is a league high one thirteen point eight.

1039
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 1: He is on fire right now. Tyler Lockett gets an

1040
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:00,800
Speaker 1: A two. He's scored in three games this season and

1041
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:02,839
Speaker 1: the two he didn't one was a stinker, the other

1042
00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:05,479
Speaker 1: was ten for seventy nine, so he's in A grade

1043
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 1: as well. He's Russell's favorite target. His second favorite targets

1044
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,680
Speaker 1: probably Will dis Lee. In the last four weeks, dis

1045
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: Lee has four touchdowns in either top eight yards or

1046
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 1: scored in every game, and the Browns have allowed four

1047
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:20,399
Speaker 1: touchdowns to tight ends this year. That's the second most

1048
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:23,879
Speaker 1: in the NFL. So Wills gets an A grade. I'd

1049
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:27,440
Speaker 1: start him over Travis Kelsey this week. That's crazy, but uh,

1050
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 1: I mean it happens sometimes. DK Metcalf he's on the bench.

1051
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 1: It seems like he's very touchdown dependent, scoring in two

1052
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:35,880
Speaker 1: games this year. The problem is he's been held to

1053
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:39,280
Speaker 1: four or fewer receptions in every game this year, including

1054
00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 1: five total catches over the last three weeks. On the

1055
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:45,919
Speaker 1: brown side, I'm giving Nick Chubb a b NO back

1056
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: has topped sixty nine yards against the Seahawks this year.

1057
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 1: Where are you? I can't, I can't really can't do.

1058
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Here's a very belated nice there we go. However,

1059
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:02,240
Speaker 1: both Alvin Mara and David Johnson have had over ninety

1060
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 1: receiving yards. Chubb has had at least three receptions in

1061
00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:08,760
Speaker 1: four of five games this year, and if Mayfield continues

1062
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:10,719
Speaker 1: to run for his life from this line, Chubb may

1063
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:14,359
Speaker 1: see some bonus passwork. I got BI grades on both

1064
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:18,440
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry outside that week to catch

1065
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:21,839
Speaker 1: for Odell, where he turned a seven yard slant into

1066
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:25,680
Speaker 1: an eight yard touchdown. Beckham owners have been super disappointed,

1067
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:28,440
Speaker 1: and I just saw in one of my league's Beckham

1068
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 1: plus Carlos Hyde was traded for Allen Robinson alone. It's

1069
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 1: come this far. Um Odell is still top ten and

1070
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 1: targets and eleventh and air yards, so some positive regression

1071
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 1: is due. Go get him now, Go get him now.

1072
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:45,720
Speaker 1: And Jarvis Landry, he's third in the league in yards

1073
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:49,359
Speaker 1: after catch with a D one somehow hasn't scored. He's

1074
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:53,440
Speaker 1: had at least seen target. The whole problem with Landry

1075
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:56,400
Speaker 1: well nobody. Nobody's scoring on the Browns, but between the

1076
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:59,440
Speaker 1: two of them they have one touchdown at least seven

1077
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 1: targets in four or five. And the noteworthy thing is

1078
00:57:02,560 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 1: Cooper cup burned the Seahawks from the slot last week.

1079
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 1: I did. Tyler Boyd and Juju each put up decent

1080
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 1: days against Seattle, and Mike's Michael Thomas scored from the slot.

1081
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 1: So I like Landry as a B. Every week you

1091
00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:48,840
Speaker 1: Two offenses that we normally just sort of gloss over,

1092
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 1: but suddenly they're starters all over the place. When the

1093

00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 1: can use four tight ends too, if you want to

1103
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:41,240
Speaker 1: get super superle you could. You could go with the

1104
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks I'm going to give you in Washington Miami,

1105
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:48,320
Speaker 1: and then just back you could start like their number

1106
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 1: one player at every other position. I like it. We

1107
00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:54,920
Speaker 1: said about that they both got starting grades beginning with

1108
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:59,920
Speaker 1: Kate Kate right heaving over here why caves keen Um Now, first,

1109
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 1: give Bill callan credit. He got the right quarterback onto

1110
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:06,200
Speaker 1: the field. Case Keenum is the least non functional of

1111
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:10,960
Speaker 1: the Washington quarterbacks. That's he actually posted three good fantasy

1112
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:14,920
Speaker 1: games in his three full starts and finishes. His teams

1113
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 1: have averaged twenty one points. That's not that bad. Miami

1114
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: is the easiest defense that the Redskins will face all year.

1115
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin and Tray Quick got positive matchups. Terry mclauren,

1116
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 1: that's right, positive matchup case Keenum C grade. Let's go

1117
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:33,440
Speaker 1: to the receivers I just mentioned, beginning with Terry McLaurin,

1118
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:36,280
Speaker 1: who gets a B grade. Now, last week he only

1119
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 1: put up a three catch line, but it was just

1120
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:42,440
Speaker 1: the third time in twenty two games that Stephan Gilmore

1121
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:44,479
Speaker 1: a lot more than fifty yards and to a single

1122
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 1: player in coverage, which tells it tells you again reinforces

1123
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:50,120
Speaker 1: McLaren's pretty darn good. He will see a lot of

1124
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:53,160
Speaker 1: Dolphins Cornerback Xavian Howard, who used to be really good,

1125
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 1: but he's taking a huge regression back last to this season,

1126
00:59:56,480 --> 01:00:00,240
Speaker 1: and he has allowed eleven catches and two touched Hounds

1127
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:02,640
Speaker 1: in his last two games alone, and could struggle with

1128
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 1: Terry McLaren's speed. McLaren's quite a bit faster, So I

1129
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:08,840
Speaker 1: like mclauren here quite a bit. I mentioned Trey Quinn

1130
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 1: as a deep sleeper here. Now, I know he's been

1131
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 1: very quiet, but in Kingdom's three starts he averaged six targets.

1132
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 1: That's not bad. He goes up against Dolphins cornerback Eric

1133
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 1: Rowe in the slot. Rose allowed two touchdowns already and

1134
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:23,040
Speaker 1: is allowing a passer rating of a hundred and thirty

1135
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:26,920
Speaker 1: four in his coverage. So Trey Quinn startable here. Even

1136
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:31,200
Speaker 1: two running backs are startable. I got five, I got

1137
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 1: five redskins. You can start Adrian Peterson. Bill says, he's

1138
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 1: basically telegraphed the whole game plan. We're gonna run, and

1139
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:41,240
Speaker 1: established the run. This is gonna be more than the

1140
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 1: combined starters we recommend in every other week, but this

1141
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 1: week for both of these teams. The Dolphins have given

1142
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:48,960
Speaker 1: up a rushing score in eight straight games going back

1143
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:52,240
Speaker 1: to last year. Obviously, they've allowed the most total yards

1144
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 1: to running backs. They've allowed the most touchdowns to running backs. Now,

1145
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:58,160
Speaker 1: Adrian hasn't been good. He hasn't topped three and a

1146
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:02,880
Speaker 1: half yards also a games actual legitimate NFL teams in

1147
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 1: their prior couple of games. Look, I understand, but Peterson's

1148
01:01:05,680 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 1: gonna get enough work where I think he's absolutely startable.

1149
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 1: Ce Grade on Adrian Peterson, C grade And Chris Thompson,

1150
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 1: who's got at least four catches and in each of

1151
01:01:14,240 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 1: his five games this year and now oddly, Miami has

1152
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:21,320
Speaker 1: allowed the second fewest running back receptions but has allowed

1153
01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:24,000
Speaker 1: four touchdowns to running backs through the air. So we're

1154
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 1: still gonna give Chris Thompson a dart throw here too,

1155
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:29,960
Speaker 1: se Grade. Uh, Paul Richardson is on is on the

1156
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:31,800
Speaker 1: bench because I can't quite go that far here. But

1157
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 1: you know it wouldn't You wouldn't be the worst thing

1158
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:35,720
Speaker 1: in the world. But I can't get myself to put

1159
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 1: six Redskins in. Now I've got four starting Miami Dolphins

1160
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 1: in this one. Kenyan Drake gets a B grade. Kenyan

1161
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 1: Drake is going to outscore a bunch of brand name

1162
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:50,240
Speaker 1: running backs this week. M's just be like a weird

1163
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:54,560
Speaker 1: Kalin Blage game nowhere. Blage has been effectively benched. He

1164
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 1: was on the field for eight snaps last week, which

1165
01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 1: is eight too many. By the way, the Red Chkins

1166
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 1: give up the third most rushing attempts, the ninth most

1167
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:06,720
Speaker 1: rushing yards, the ninth most receptions to running backs, the

1168
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:09,840
Speaker 1: ninth most receiving yards to running backs, and Kenyan Drake's

1169
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:12,720
Speaker 1: getting all the work. He has seen his rushing yards

1170
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:16,080
Speaker 1: and yards per carry rise in every game this year.

1171
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:19,320
Speaker 1: He's also averaging five targets per game. Kenyan Drake is

1172
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 1: sitting on a really nice game. What letter grade you

1173
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 1: give him? Be as if that made you nauseous, wait

1174
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:31,720
Speaker 1: until you hear the C grade I'm giving Josh Rosen,

1175
01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:37,560
Speaker 1: who has thrown one touchdown on the season. Hold my beer,

1176
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:43,400
Speaker 1: but the Redskins have allowed the most passing touchdowns, including

1177
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:47,680
Speaker 1: three touchdowns in every game but one. Rosen's gonna get

1178
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:50,280
Speaker 1: to two hit in this game, earning him a C grade.

1179
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 1: That means I gotta like somebody's gonna throw the ball

1180
01:02:52,720 --> 01:02:56,720
Speaker 1: to Preston. How about Preston Williams. He's got a juicy

1181
01:02:56,800 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 1: matchup Redskins secondary that's allowed nine touchdowns, the receiver's second most.

1182
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:05,000
Speaker 1: The Redskins have got exactly one solid cornerback, a guy

1183
01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:07,200
Speaker 1: named Quentin Dunbar. I am a little bit worried that

1184
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:09,040
Speaker 1: Dunbar is gonna be on Williams, which is what I

1185
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:12,400
Speaker 1: would do if I ran the Redskins. But they might

1186
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:15,720
Speaker 1: be dumb enough to put him on DeVante Parker, who

1187
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:18,760
Speaker 1: also gets a C grade. Parker is top fifty six

1188
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:22,000
Speaker 1: yards in three of four games, and he scored before

1189
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:24,360
Speaker 1: last week's by. He is a dart throw against a

1190
01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:29,240
Speaker 1: fading Josh Norman in this matchup? How about that nine

1191
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 1: starters between Washington and Miami, two teams that the best

1192
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:38,000
Speaker 1: thing they could possibly do, I think is faded at

1193
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 1: this point. How many times would you start a player

1194
01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:46,800
Speaker 1: in this game? Really? Nine San Francisco takes on the

1195
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 1: l A Rams Brian. The San Francisco offense confounding in

1196
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: many ways. You've got to deal with a bunch of

1197
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:55,080
Speaker 1: different running backs, stuff, a bunch of different receivers. What

1198
01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 1: do you think about a tricky matchup with the Rams?

1199
01:03:57,520 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 1: Minus it keep to leave, by the way, who's been

1200
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:01,360
Speaker 1: ruled out of this one? And I think that opens

1201
01:04:01,360 --> 01:04:04,040
Speaker 1: things up a little bit for Jimmy Garoppolo that might

1202
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:06,440
Speaker 1: be additioned by subtraction. The way to leave has been

1203
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:09,200
Speaker 1: playing recently the last couple of weeks. Yeah, so though

1204
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:11,560
Speaker 1: he was better early. Okay, we'll start with Jimmy G.

1205
01:04:11,760 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 1: But Friday news came out that George Kittle is questionable

1206
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:18,600
Speaker 1: now with a groin injury. So that obviously changes the

1207
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:21,680
Speaker 1: prospects for Jimmy garoppolo if Kittle since but let's assume

1208
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 1: Kittle does go, I'll give Jimmy G the See he's

1209
01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:27,760
Speaker 1: averaging averaging under thirty pass attempts per game. He's been

1210
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 1: way more of a game manager, mainly because that forty

1211
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 1: Niners defense is looking really good. Um, but San Francisco

1212
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:37,000
Speaker 1: is the underdog here, so the forty Niners may need

1213
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:39,320
Speaker 1: to pass more than usual. And over the last two

1214
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 1: weeks that secondary struggled big time for l A. Both

1215
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:45,600
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson through for four touchdown passes each.

1216
01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:48,680
Speaker 1: So Jimmy G pretty safe. Uh see if Kittle is

1217
01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:51,600
Speaker 1: able to go. Uh. If Kittle goes A if he

1218
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 1: doesn't go obvious bench Uh. The Rams are allowing a

1219
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:57,840
Speaker 1: very modest six catches for fifty yards to opposing tight ends.

1220
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:01,160
Speaker 1: Kittle's history against l A is way more than modest.

1221
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:04,400
Speaker 1: He has gone off in three straight uh nine and

1222
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:06,720
Speaker 1: one in his most recent five, and won the game

1223
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:09,040
Speaker 1: before that and four for a hundred the game before that.

1224
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:13,360
Speaker 1: So you're starting Kittle. That's a no brainer. The ram.

1225
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry the running backs for they they're gonna be

1226
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:20,440
Speaker 1: out without Joe Staley and another starting tackle in this one.

1227
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:23,080
Speaker 1: So Matt Brita Tevin Coleman going to give him both

1228
01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:24,720
Speaker 1: the sea. I want to give a stat about how

1229
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:29,800
Speaker 1: good Breeda is. So since the start of there have

1230
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:32,400
Speaker 1: been forty three running backs with at least two hundred

1231
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 1: and fifty carries. Among those forty three running backs, only

1232
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:39,520
Speaker 1: seven have averaged more than five yards per carry. Brita

1233
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:42,400
Speaker 1: ranks second among all those running backs at five point

1234
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:45,440
Speaker 1: to two yards per carry. Number one, your boy, Philip Lindsay,

1235
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:50,200
Speaker 1: by the way, also hit the highest speed of any

1236
01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 1: player in the NFL last week in that long run.

1237
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 1: It was twenty that's crazy, crazy fast. The whole bit

1238
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:01,080
Speaker 1: on Brita, I think part of it people just didn't

1239
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 1: want to believe because it wasn't a brand name guy

1240
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 1: and he wasn't drafting a high position. But just the

1241
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:08,080
Speaker 1: eye test tells you he's awesome. He just has to

1242
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:12,000
Speaker 1: stay healthy whenever healthy Brita is unbelievable. And just remember

1243
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:16,360
Speaker 1: it rhymes with cheetah for a reason. Do you remember

1244
01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:20,240
Speaker 1: what Steve Smith called himself when he came into the

1245
01:06:20,320 --> 01:06:26,200
Speaker 1: league Snida half snake, half cheetah. Don't I'm not kidding.

1246
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:29,720
Speaker 1: That is a Steve Smith fact fact. Toyd, right there,

1247
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 1: sna well, it's well, it's sneaks outside. That's right. Back

1248
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 1: to back to the running backs, Back to Brita and Coleman.

1249
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:40,200
Speaker 1: Unfortunately for Brita, Tevin Coleman is healthy. Coleman saw sixteen

1250
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 1: touches of the snaps last week, Brita fourteen touches ont

1251
01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 1: of the snaps. It's basically a time share there. The

1252
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:50,160
Speaker 1: Rams have yielded the ninth most carrious the running backs,

1253
01:06:50,160 --> 01:06:53,000
Speaker 1: but just over four yards per clip. So just to

1254
01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:55,040
Speaker 1: see if you're the running backs for San Fran this

1255
01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:57,720
Speaker 1: week and all the wide receivers are on the bench,

1256
01:06:57,800 --> 01:06:59,760
Speaker 1: that you just can't trust those guys. Over to the

1257
01:06:59,880 --> 01:07:02,640
Speaker 1: l A side, Todd Gurley can't be trusted this week.

1258
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:06,280
Speaker 1: It seems late either doubtful to play. Wasn't going to

1259
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 1: be in a good spot if healthy. I've mentioned multiple

1260
01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:11,960
Speaker 1: times how good this forty Niners defenses, especially against running backs.

1261
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:16,320
Speaker 1: Posing running backs are averaging under Combo yards per game,

1262
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:20,080
Speaker 1: and not one back has found paydirt against the forty Niners.

1263
01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:23,880
Speaker 1: So you'll start Malcolm Brown, but temper your expectations in

1264
01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:27,040
Speaker 1: this one, because it's gonna be a long day for him.

1265
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:29,120
Speaker 1: Probably not a long day for Cooper Cup, though he

1266
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:32,000
Speaker 1: gets an a looking like Adam Thiland last year. If

1267
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:34,400
Speaker 1: he tops a hundred yards, that's five straight games to

1268
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:37,520
Speaker 1: start the season for Cooper Cup. Big name slot receivers

1269
01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 1: have done well against the forty Niners. Tyler Boyd, Juju

1270
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:43,840
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry, Chris Godwin all had good games, and according

1271
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:46,840
Speaker 1: to Sports Info Solutions, twenty eight of Cooper's forty one

1272
01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:49,640
Speaker 1: catches this year have come in zone coverage, a scheme

1273
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:52,080
Speaker 1: San fran demployees more than eighty percent of the time.

1274
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:55,520
Speaker 1: So things shaping up nicely for Cooper. Not been a

1275
01:07:55,600 --> 01:07:57,840
Speaker 1: nice season for Robert Wood's gonna give him a b here,

1276
01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:00,160
Speaker 1: sort of reluctantly. At least eight targets in four were

1277
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:02,560
Speaker 1: five games, but as fewer than fifty yards, and three

1278
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:06,200
Speaker 1: of the last four he's been the quote unquote beneficiary

1279
01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:09,480
Speaker 1: of Goff's struggles this year, has not scored in three

1280
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:11,600
Speaker 1: games against San Francisco either as a member of the

1281
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:15,080
Speaker 1: Rams boundary. Receivers like John Ross and Deonte Johnson had

1282
01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:17,639
Speaker 1: good games, though, so a B for Woods. Brandon Cookes

1283
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:22,120
Speaker 1: is in concussion protocol. I think he can plays trending

1284
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:25,280
Speaker 1: towards playing. I'm hoping he doesn't for people that own him,

1285
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:26,800
Speaker 1: because on they have to decide to start him or not.

1286
01:08:26,840 --> 01:08:29,920
Speaker 1: I'm on this waivering towards bending him. Uh. He has

1287
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:33,479
Speaker 1: scored in just two of his last ten regular season games,

1288
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:36,680
Speaker 1: and his top seventy five yards only once during that

1289
01:08:36,680 --> 01:08:39,679
Speaker 1: ten game span. Granted, one of those games he scored

1290
01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:42,639
Speaker 1: uh In came against the forty nine, and weeks seventeen

1291
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:46,720
Speaker 1: scored twice. Actually, but San fran is much better now.

1292
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 1: And don't forget Cooper Cup was not playing in that

1293
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 1: game either. So I can't fault you for startin Cooks,

1294
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:56,560
Speaker 1: but I'm not advocating it. Gerald Everett. Game last we

1295
01:08:56,640 --> 01:08:59,280
Speaker 1: pick up this week, Gerald Everett, I wouldn't chase that

1296
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:02,400
Speaker 1: box score. Forty Niners have allowed a league loow eight

1297
01:09:02,560 --> 01:09:05,320
Speaker 1: seven total yards to the tight end position this year. Yes,

1298
01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:08,200
Speaker 1: they've had their bye, but they defended the position really well.

1299
01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:11,519
Speaker 1: And I'm not starting Gerald ever ever, go Grab no Evant.

1300
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:15,400
Speaker 1: I like him way more. And Jared Goff. This is

1301
01:09:15,400 --> 01:09:17,479
Speaker 1: a home game. He's way better at home since the

1302
01:09:17,479 --> 01:09:20,160
Speaker 1: start of last season. Has a twenty five to six

1303
01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:24,240
Speaker 1: touchdown to intercept interception ratio at home, fourteen to thirteen

1304
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:27,960
Speaker 1: on the road, So he gets a be here. Jamis Winston,

1305
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:31,000
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield, Mason Rudolph all struggled mightily though against the

1306
01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:35,360
Speaker 1: forty niners, but Andy Dalton had eleven yards and two touchdowns,

1307
01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:37,680
Speaker 1: So there is a beacon of hope for golf here.

1308
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:42,559
Speaker 1: Hopefully our final topics are ahead. When we provide you

1309
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:45,920
Speaker 1: with three guys we will believe, we believe will be

1310
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:48,960
Speaker 1: hot waiver wire pickups next week that you'll want to

1311
01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:51,920
Speaker 1: get this week. So everybody else next week is trying

1312
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:56,479
Speaker 1: to get those guys. And that's right, they're already on

1313
01:09:56,560 --> 01:10:01,759
Speaker 1: your team. Speculation is happening acts on Fantasy Football Weekly.

01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:39,000
Speaker 1: the crush Charts Championship. Guys, this is us a bit

1322
01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:41,960
Speaker 1: we like to call premature speculation, maybe the most popular

1323
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 1: segment on the entire show. Each of our hosts will

1324
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:47,559
Speaker 1: provide a player who will be a hot waiver wire

1325
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:51,360
Speaker 1: pick up next week that you're going to pick up

1326
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:54,679
Speaker 1: this week. We begin with Brian Johnson. Who you got.

1327
01:10:55,760 --> 01:10:59,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Justice Hill, running back for the

1328
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:01,800
Speaker 1: rape in and right now, Hill's kind of buried on

1329
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:06,160
Speaker 1: the depth chart behind mark Ingram of course and Gus Edwards. Um,

1330
01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:08,040
Speaker 1: but the moral of the story is right now. Mark

1331
01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:10,360
Speaker 1: Ingram obviously has a role, and so does Gus Edwards.

1332
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:13,040
Speaker 1: But the Ravens run the ball a ton. They are

1333
01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:17,120
Speaker 1: third in a rushing play percentage as a team, and really,

1334
01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:19,639
Speaker 1: he'll pass the eye test. He looks like he has

1335
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:23,000
Speaker 1: three down potential. He's just getting treated like garbage like

1336
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:25,400
Speaker 1: all the rookie running backs this year, essentially, But all

1337
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:28,120
Speaker 1: he needs is an injury to either Ingram or Edwards,

1338
01:11:28,479 --> 01:11:31,599
Speaker 1: and he becomes fantasy relevant. And again he's a guy.

1339
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:34,440
Speaker 1: If something would happen to both of these guys, he

1340
01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:37,519
Speaker 1: gets the mold of a bell cow back. Um, so

1341
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:39,640
Speaker 1: if you have an empty spot, he's he could be

1342
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:41,560
Speaker 1: a game changer. You're kind of rooting for injury what

1343
01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:43,640
Speaker 1: you never want to do. But uh, if something were

1344
01:11:43,680 --> 01:11:45,639
Speaker 1: to happen to either those backs, he'd be fantasy relevant

1345
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:49,320
Speaker 1: in a second in dynasty or keeper leagues or Empire leagues.

1346
01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:54,599
Speaker 1: I think Justice Hills really interesting beyond and uh, and

1347
01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:55,920
Speaker 1: this is you can buy. You can get him for

1348
01:11:56,040 --> 01:12:01,000
Speaker 1: nothing right now. Uh, Matt, who is your premature speculation guy?

1349
01:12:01,640 --> 01:12:05,080
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary is only owned in about two thirds of

1350
01:12:05,320 --> 01:12:08,479
Speaker 1: ESPN leagues right now. He's missed a couple of weeks

1351
01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:10,840
Speaker 1: with an injury. He's on a bye this week, which

1352
01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:12,960
Speaker 1: makes him even easier to pick up right now. A

1353
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:15,479
Speaker 1: lot of people dropping him this Frankly, all the bills

1354
01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:17,320
Speaker 1: that you can pick up right now, I'd pick him

1355
01:12:17,400 --> 01:12:22,880
Speaker 1: up because coming up out of the by Miami, Philly, Washington, Cleveland,

1356
01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:28,040
Speaker 1: Miami again, Denver, Dallas, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, New England. None of

1357
01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:32,160
Speaker 1: that's really tough New England Week six. That's the toughest one.

1358
01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:34,200
Speaker 1: So you might not be playing Singletary in the in

1359
01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:37,040
Speaker 1: the championship game, but he's got the ability to be

1360
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:39,360
Speaker 1: a bell cow because Frank Gore is more likely to

1361
01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:43,120
Speaker 1: be playing bingo in November than he is to be

1362
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:45,439
Speaker 1: being a bell cow running back on the Bill. So

1363
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 1: I like Devin Singletary a lot. I picked him up

1364
01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:50,439
Speaker 1: in a league this week. Devin Singletary has only been

1365
01:12:50,479 --> 01:12:52,439
Speaker 1: able to get because he got knocked out in Week two.

1366
01:12:52,479 --> 01:12:56,439
Speaker 1: He's only had ten carries. He's averaging seventeen yards of carry.

1367
01:12:57,400 --> 01:13:00,880
Speaker 1: He's he's really good for Ank or you all know

1368
01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:03,160
Speaker 1: what Frank Gore is. He's just you know, the three

1369
01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:05,559
Speaker 1: three yards in the cloud of dust. When the Bills

1370
01:13:05,560 --> 01:13:08,560
Speaker 1: want to get electrifying, they're going to use Deevin Singletary.

1371
01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:12,759
Speaker 1: Nobody's calling Frank Gore electric. No. By the way, Josh

1372
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:18,200
Speaker 1: Allen is going to be a top seven quarterback. I agree.

1373
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:22,920
Speaker 1: I agree, outside of Lamar Jackson, he could be the

1374
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:25,280
Speaker 1: best quarterback coming out of that draft class with Baker

1375
01:13:25,439 --> 01:13:28,880
Speaker 1: and for fantasy use for sure, because of the running

1376
01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:32,200
Speaker 1: that is possible. Go checking the availability of Josh Allen

1377
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:34,840
Speaker 1: as well off for the you know the schedule again,

1378
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:37,760
Speaker 1: just so easy might take a chance on the quarterback.

1379
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:45,639
Speaker 1: My premature speculation quarterback is Cam Newton. Cam Newton, you say,

1380
01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:48,519
Speaker 1: well you used the other quarterback as you take a

1381
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:51,400
Speaker 1: chance on me. Guys, well, that's yeah, Kyle Allen like

1382
01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:54,280
Speaker 1: I like Kyle Allen better. And by the way, the

1383
01:13:54,320 --> 01:13:58,160
Speaker 1: Panthers might too. I think that I I'll discuss this

1384
01:13:58,200 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 1: in a minute. First, know this, they're in they're in

1385
01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:03,639
Speaker 1: London this week, and then like every London team, they're

1386
01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:08,479
Speaker 1: on by so then coming out of the bye, at

1387
01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:10,760
Speaker 1: that point, Cam Newton is probably ready to come back.

1388
01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:13,000
Speaker 1: So now they're going to have a decision to make

1389
01:14:13,400 --> 01:14:15,800
Speaker 1: right and I, by the way, I'm I'm team Kyle

1390
01:14:15,840 --> 01:14:20,000
Speaker 1: Allen and who I think is best. But given all

1391
01:14:20,120 --> 01:14:26,200
Speaker 1: of the equity, money, prestige that they've got into Cam Newton,

1392
01:14:26,479 --> 01:14:31,240
Speaker 1: funny hats, funny hats ascots, they're going to have to

1393
01:14:31,280 --> 01:14:33,200
Speaker 1: put Cam back on the field and they're gonna have

1394
01:14:33,240 --> 01:14:36,040
Speaker 1: to give him another try so that Cam can lose

1395
01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:40,960
Speaker 1: the job healthy. So when he comes back, he's gonna

1396
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:45,400
Speaker 1: play middle of the pack defenses. San Francisco Tennessee Green

1397
01:14:45,400 --> 01:14:48,800
Speaker 1: Bay maybe an above average defenses. If he survives that,

1398
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:54,040
Speaker 1: then the schedule gets really easy, including playoff runs against Atlanta, Seattle, Indie. Um,

1399
01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:55,519
Speaker 1: you can wait a week and the gift to pick

1400
01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:57,320
Speaker 1: up Cam Newton this week because he's gonna be on

1401
01:14:57,360 --> 01:14:59,680
Speaker 1: by next week. So you could wait a week if

1402
01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:01,960
Speaker 1: you want. But I think you're gonna have the Panthers

1403
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:06,280
Speaker 1: starter sounds that schedule is tough and he's gonna then

1404
01:15:06,360 --> 01:15:10,720
Speaker 1: lose the job again. Kyle Allen might be very premature speculation.

1405
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:13,680
Speaker 1: Teams aren't got Kyle Allen's out of the catch, but

1406
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:15,719
Speaker 1: Cam Newton has been dropped in almost all the leagues

1407
01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:19,200
Speaker 1: right because he was bad and hurt. It's bad combo.

1408
01:15:19,400 --> 01:15:21,280
Speaker 1: Let's go to back to a last set of matchups,

1409
01:15:21,320 --> 01:15:26,360
Speaker 1: including Atlanta taking on Arizona. This is a potential. Matt

1410
01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:29,040
Speaker 1: Ryan has been actually very good for fantasy owners. We

1411
01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:30,960
Speaker 1: don't care that the leads the league interceptions. He's been

1412
01:15:31,080 --> 01:15:32,840
Speaker 1: very good for fantasy owners, and I can't wait here

1413
01:15:32,840 --> 01:15:35,120
Speaker 1: we have to say about him. And on the other side,

1414
01:15:35,600 --> 01:15:40,439
Speaker 1: Kyle Murray's forthcoming Kyler Murray's forthcoming breakout game. But let's

1415
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:42,600
Speaker 1: start with the let's start with the Falcons and you

1416
01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:45,519
Speaker 1: just want to read the whole matchup. I just got

1417
01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:48,120
Speaker 1: my opinions. I want to get in. It's a start

1418
01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:53,519
Speaker 1: everyone game across the board. Uh. Let's start with Matt Ryan. Uh.

1419
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:56,040
Speaker 1: He gets an A grade facing pressure on thirty eight

1420
01:15:56,040 --> 01:16:00,519
Speaker 1: percent of his dropbacks this year, but still yards and

1421
01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:03,040
Speaker 1: six straight games and the Cardinals have allowed the sixth

1422
01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:07,400
Speaker 1: most passing yards and the second most passing touchdowns. Julio

1423
01:16:07,520 --> 01:16:10,120
Speaker 1: Jones gets an A. He was held under fifty yards

1424
01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:14,040
Speaker 1: last week. Julio bounces back after sub fifty yard games

1425
01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:17,000
Speaker 1: in his last three bounce back games five, one oh

1426
01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:22,120
Speaker 1: six and two, nine and one eight, one oh six

1427
01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:24,320
Speaker 1: and two. Julio is going to bounce back in a

1428
01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:28,160
Speaker 1: major way. Calvin Ridley and Mohammedson, you are getting B grades.

1429
01:16:28,240 --> 01:16:32,080
Speaker 1: The Cards are still missing both starting corners. Secondary receivers

1430
01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:35,559
Speaker 1: Danny Amondola and out In Tate each scored. Both Panthers

1431
01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:39,479
Speaker 1: receivers scored against them this year. To Austin Hooper gets

1432
01:16:39,479 --> 01:16:41,840
Speaker 1: a A and maybe like the he might be the

1433
01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:45,280
Speaker 1: top rated tight end of this week. Uh, I got

1434
01:16:45,320 --> 01:16:47,280
Speaker 1: him three. We've beaten it to death this year. But

1435
01:16:47,320 --> 01:16:50,360
Speaker 1: the Cards are historically bad against the tight ends. They've

1436
01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:54,000
Speaker 1: allowed the most yards and touchdowns the position to Uh.

1437
01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:57,840
Speaker 1: Deavonte Freeman, I'm giving a B grade and Edo Smith

1438
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:02,360
Speaker 1: is getting a C grade. Uh. Um, it's got it's

1439
01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:04,759
Speaker 1: become like a fifty fifty time share. That's the problem.

1440
01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:07,800
Speaker 1: Freeman's getting a little bit more. It means both are

1441
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:10,200
Speaker 1: startable against the Cardinals team that's allowed an average of

1442
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:12,479
Speaker 1: a hundred and twenty four rushing yards and thirty seven

1443
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:15,320
Speaker 1: passing yards to opposing backs over the last three weeks.

1444
01:17:15,320 --> 01:17:19,759
Speaker 1: So Freeman still be On the other side, David Johnson

1445
01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:22,040
Speaker 1: is dealing with a back injury that popped up kind

1446
01:17:22,040 --> 01:17:25,120
Speaker 1: of late in the week on the injury report, although

1447
01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:27,920
Speaker 1: he did play through it. Cliff Kingsbury said that he

1448
01:17:27,960 --> 01:17:30,400
Speaker 1: did play through it last week and that's probably why

1449
01:17:30,439 --> 01:17:34,000
Speaker 1: his snap percentage went down. Uh. He only had sixty

1450
01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:37,040
Speaker 1: of the snaps last week compared to Chase Edmonds who

1451
01:17:37,040 --> 01:17:41,280
Speaker 1: had thirty seven. UM. So we sell the uptick in

1452
01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:45,120
Speaker 1: Edmonds last week and DJ sat out Friday from practice.

1453
01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:48,320
Speaker 1: If he doesn't go, Edmunds becomes a B grade in

1454
01:17:48,320 --> 01:17:50,200
Speaker 1: this game. Right now, I have David as a B

1455
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:53,360
Speaker 1: and Edmonds as a C. Does Edmonds maybe become an

1456
01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:55,800
Speaker 1: A grade because he doesn't have to share that. That's

1457
01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:58,720
Speaker 1: probably closer to write it. It's it's A B, T

1458
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:01,200
Speaker 1: and A, so it might be A. The Falcons have

1459
01:18:01,200 --> 01:18:04,160
Speaker 1: allowed the eleventh most rushing yards on the season as well.

1460
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:08,920
Speaker 1: You mentioned at church. Kyler Murray gets an A grade. Yeah, baby,

1461
01:18:09,200 --> 01:18:11,720
Speaker 1: this is the breakout game coming. Well, We've said that

1462
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:14,160
Speaker 1: a couple of times in the last few weeks. Unfortunately

1463
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:17,000
Speaker 1: this time the first time I've said it and I

1464
01:18:17,120 --> 01:18:19,679
Speaker 1: mean it. Baby. We haven't seen the ceiling yet for Murray.

1465
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:22,360
Speaker 1: But the Falcons have allowed ten touchdown passes in the

1466
01:18:22,439 --> 01:18:25,479
Speaker 1: last three weeks, so it might be time. They're tied

1467
01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:28,559
Speaker 1: for last in the league's in sacks with Miami and

1468
01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:31,760
Speaker 1: they've played one more game than Miami. And even with

1469
01:18:31,840 --> 01:18:34,360
Speaker 1: a bad old line that Kyler has, Murray should have

1470
01:18:34,439 --> 01:18:36,840
Speaker 1: more time than he ever has had before. So Kyler

1471
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:39,840
Speaker 1: Murray gets the A grade. Uh. Larry Fitzgerald gets an

1472
01:18:39,920 --> 01:18:42,880
Speaker 1: A as well. Christian Kirk gets a B if he goes.

1473
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:45,519
Speaker 1: He's still limited in practice with an ankle. It's a

1474
01:18:45,560 --> 01:18:47,920
Speaker 1: great spot though, of Kirk plays. The Falcons gave up

1475
01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:51,920
Speaker 1: three hundred seventy seven yards to wide receivers just last week,

1476
01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:54,880
Speaker 1: which is why Keishawn Johnson was might take a chance

1477
01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:56,920
Speaker 1: on me wide receiver and it gave him a B

1478
01:18:57,080 --> 01:19:00,960
Speaker 1: grade as well. Yeah, that's um for Kyler Murray. I

1479
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:04,000
Speaker 1: love the fact that Cliff Kingsbury is giving him designed

1480
01:19:04,080 --> 01:19:07,519
Speaker 1: runs and that that's unlocked a lot of value from

1481
01:19:07,560 --> 01:19:09,320
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. He wasn't letting him run

1482
01:19:09,320 --> 01:19:12,760
Speaker 1: early on. Now we're getting designed runs and watching back

1483
01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:16,000
Speaker 1: last week's game for Kyler Murray, just the poise differential

1484
01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:19,920
Speaker 1: was gigantic. Um. The accuracy was very good except the

1485
01:19:19,920 --> 01:19:22,280
Speaker 1: first series where I think that the adrenaline was flowing.

1486
01:19:22,280 --> 01:19:24,880
Speaker 1: He sailed a couple of passes early, but after that

1487
01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:28,800
Speaker 1: the passes looked effortless for Murray. Uh, this is this

1488
01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:30,920
Speaker 1: is the game. I wouldn't be surprised if this is

1489
01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:34,479
Speaker 1: two rushing touchdowns and one passing touchdown or two passing

1490
01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:37,840
Speaker 1: and one rushing and this has got massive upside for

1491
01:19:37,960 --> 01:19:41,080
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. Atlanta's the team you want to see as

1492
01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:44,240
Speaker 1: the opponent for any fantasy player moving forward since they

1493
01:19:44,240 --> 01:19:48,559
Speaker 1: lost Keyan O'Neil again Torn Achilles, I believe or a

1494
01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:50,919
Speaker 1: c l that they just keep getting lit up and

1495
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:54,200
Speaker 1: because Atlantic can score points, which is favorable to keep

1496
01:19:54,200 --> 01:19:56,120
Speaker 1: the game competitive in high score we had that defense

1497
01:19:56,160 --> 01:19:58,320
Speaker 1: is any It's worth noting that Dan Quinn is their

1498
01:19:58,479 --> 01:20:01,639
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator and had coach right now, so they basically

1499
01:20:01,680 --> 01:20:04,559
Speaker 1: can't fire him during the season, right, So that means

1500
01:20:04,600 --> 01:20:06,960
Speaker 1: we get Atlanta doing this junk for the rest of

1501
01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:10,160
Speaker 1: the year. It's great. Pittsburgh takes on the Chargers. We

1502
01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:12,320
Speaker 1: begin with James Conner, who will be the focus of

1503
01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:16,560
Speaker 1: the Chargers defense because Pittsburgh is unfortunately starting Devil and

1504
01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:20,120
Speaker 1: Hodges in a quarterbacks You know, his nickname is Duck Duck.

1505
01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:22,960
Speaker 1: You know why it's called Duck, Probably because the offensive

1506
01:20:23,000 --> 01:20:27,639
Speaker 1: lineman would have to yell duck. They've got um. Chargers

1507
01:20:27,680 --> 01:20:30,040
Speaker 1: are gonna try to stop James Conner and make Duck

1508
01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:33,400
Speaker 1: Hodges beat them, beat them, which is the obvious game plan.

1509
01:20:33,479 --> 01:20:34,960
Speaker 1: And that's why I've just got to be great on

1510
01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:38,080
Speaker 1: Connor here. Now there is a Melvin Ingram is banged

1511
01:20:38,120 --> 01:20:40,320
Speaker 1: up and Thomas Davis is banged up, but and they

1512
01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:42,200
Speaker 1: are giving up four point nine yards per carry, So

1513
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:44,360
Speaker 1: the chance that Connor could still have a big game here,

1514
01:20:44,360 --> 01:20:46,280
Speaker 1: But I do believe they're going to play mostly to

1515
01:20:46,400 --> 01:20:50,320
Speaker 1: stop Connor. Connor hit the Chargers for two touchdowns last season,

1516
01:20:50,680 --> 01:20:53,040
Speaker 1: so I think he will be featured in this one,

1517
01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:56,439
Speaker 1: particularly with Jalen Samuel out. Then we go to the

1518
01:20:56,439 --> 01:21:01,639
Speaker 1: passing game again with Duck Hodges at the helm. God

1519
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:03,800
Speaker 1: only knows what can end up happening here. I thought

1520
01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:06,880
Speaker 1: he was okay in relief last week. Get this. He

1521
01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:10,960
Speaker 1: didn't take a snap in practice prior to getting thrown

1522
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:13,800
Speaker 1: to the Wolves. Last week. The most he had done

1523
01:21:13,880 --> 01:21:16,120
Speaker 1: was worked with a seven man team. He wasn't even

1524
01:21:16,200 --> 01:21:18,880
Speaker 1: running with the second stringers in practice, and they threw

1525
01:21:18,960 --> 01:21:22,000
Speaker 1: him into the game and he actually looked okay. I

1526
01:21:22,040 --> 01:21:23,720
Speaker 1: don't think they had much of a choice but to

1527
01:21:23,720 --> 01:21:25,640
Speaker 1: put him in the game. Now, well, they didn't have

1528
01:21:25,640 --> 01:21:28,360
Speaker 1: any choice. But we gotta believe this is materially gonna

1529
01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:31,839
Speaker 1: harm the offense dramatically. And I've got just a nervous

1530
01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:35,559
Speaker 1: C grade on Juju Smith Schuster, here's generous. We have

1531
01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:38,040
Speaker 1: no idea of Hodges can complete a deep pass, and

1532
01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:41,240
Speaker 1: and that's really been what's to find Juju's fantasy value.

1533
01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:44,000
Speaker 1: For the most part, Juju lines up in the slot

1534
01:21:44,040 --> 01:21:46,280
Speaker 1: on almost seventy percent of his snaps, or he'll face

1535
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:49,920
Speaker 1: Desmond King, who has been awful and got trucked by

1536
01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:52,880
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton last week. So maybe it's gonna work out

1537
01:21:52,880 --> 01:21:54,479
Speaker 1: for Juju this week. And I do have a C

1538
01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:57,519
Speaker 1: grade on him, but massive amount of variants here, depending

1539
01:21:57,520 --> 01:22:00,840
Speaker 1: on whether Devlin Hodges can actually play the position. Vance

1540
01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:03,160
Speaker 1: McDonald also gets to see because a lot of times

1541
01:22:03,160 --> 01:22:06,400
Speaker 1: you've see inexperienced quarterbacks dump off to their tight end

1542
01:22:06,439 --> 01:22:08,920
Speaker 1: when they're in trouble, which is all the time, and

1543
01:22:09,200 --> 01:22:12,280
Speaker 1: so that could that could help manson McDonald's stat line here.

1544
01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:16,080
Speaker 1: Two games ago, the Chargers gave up three tight end

1545
01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:19,880
Speaker 1: touchdowns in one game, and McDonald is the best tight

1546
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:23,439
Speaker 1: end that they've seen all year. So Vance McDonald gets

1547
01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:26,639
Speaker 1: a ce. Dante Johnson is too far down the depth

1548
01:22:26,680 --> 01:22:28,760
Speaker 1: chart and he's gonna draw Casey Hayward, so he's dead

1549
01:22:28,760 --> 01:22:32,760
Speaker 1: to us. Now let's go to the Chargers side. Very importantly,

1550
01:22:33,280 --> 01:22:37,720
Speaker 1: the Chargers just lost their center, Mike Pouncey. That hurts everybody.

1551
01:22:37,840 --> 01:22:41,880
Speaker 1: They were already without tackle Russell o'coon key's out. That

1552
01:22:41,920 --> 01:22:44,960
Speaker 1: means that Dan Freeney and Forest lamp both are going

1553
01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:48,160
Speaker 1: to play out of position in this game? Lamp? You

1554
01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:52,400
Speaker 1: love Lamp? Do you like him playing out of position? Okay,

1555
01:22:52,520 --> 01:22:55,000
Speaker 1: I've got a B grade on Austin Ekeler and a

1556
01:22:55,080 --> 01:22:57,760
Speaker 1: C grade on the rest of the Chargers because of

1557
01:22:57,800 --> 01:23:00,960
Speaker 1: all of the chaos on the offensive line. Let's start

1558
01:23:00,960 --> 01:23:04,920
Speaker 1: with Austin Neckler. Steelers allowed the sixth most receptions per

1559
01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:07,400
Speaker 1: game to opposing running backs and two backs of top

1560
01:23:07,439 --> 01:23:10,840
Speaker 1: fifty receiving yards, although none have scored. Three of the

1561
01:23:10,840 --> 01:23:14,560
Speaker 1: four touchdowns and Steelers have allowed were two backup runners.

1562
01:23:14,600 --> 01:23:16,920
Speaker 1: So I still like Keler here, and I like him

1563
01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:20,120
Speaker 1: over Gordon. Now let's talk about Gordon, who just gets

1564
01:23:20,120 --> 01:23:22,200
Speaker 1: the C grade. He saw forty six percent of the

1565
01:23:22,200 --> 01:23:25,559
Speaker 1: snaps last week. Head coach Anthony Lynn says he's going

1566
01:23:25,600 --> 01:23:28,080
Speaker 1: to get more workload this week. I think this could

1567
01:23:28,120 --> 01:23:34,360
Speaker 1: be for Melvin Gordon back. He faces a Steelers team

1568
01:23:34,400 --> 01:23:37,519
Speaker 1: that's seen the second most rushing attempts but hasn't allowed

1569
01:23:37,560 --> 01:23:41,040
Speaker 1: any rusher to top seventy nine yards. Last week, they

1570
01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:43,559
Speaker 1: held mark Ingram to two yards per carry. So I'm

1571
01:23:43,560 --> 01:23:47,720
Speaker 1: nervous about Melvin Gordon behind this makeshift offensive line. Then

1572
01:23:47,880 --> 01:23:50,320
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers after a horrific start to the season. The

1573
01:23:50,320 --> 01:23:52,800
Speaker 1: Steelers secondary has come together over the last three weeks,

1574
01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:54,840
Speaker 1: allowing just two hundred three yards per game and two

1575
01:23:54,840 --> 01:23:58,479
Speaker 1: total touchdowns. Rivers best receiver, Keenan Allen's got a tricky matchup,

1576
01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:00,320
Speaker 1: which I'll talk about now and why he's just to

1577
01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:02,960
Speaker 1: see he's gonna see Mike Hilton, one of the better

1578
01:24:02,960 --> 01:24:06,559
Speaker 1: slock cornerbacks, allowing just thirty yards per game. That said,

1579
01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:09,600
Speaker 1: Hilton is allowing his passes in coverage, his coverage to

1580
01:24:09,680 --> 01:24:11,880
Speaker 1: be completed, so that helps. So maybe get just through

1581
01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:14,840
Speaker 1: PPR and repetition, you can do something here. Steelers have

1582
01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:16,559
Speaker 1: seen a lot of good slot receivers and they have

1583
01:24:16,600 --> 01:24:18,519
Speaker 1: not allowed to touchdown. So just to see grade on

1584
01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:22,479
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen and Mike Williams always a shaky volume guy

1585
01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:25,439
Speaker 1: to begin with. And if the if the Chargers get

1586
01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:28,280
Speaker 1: a big lead against Duck Hodges, which is possible, that

1587
01:24:28,320 --> 01:24:31,080
Speaker 1: would limit Mike Williams outlook here because he might not

1588
01:24:31,120 --> 01:24:33,439
Speaker 1: get much of any volume and that in that event,

1589
01:24:33,560 --> 01:24:35,639
Speaker 1: So just to see great and Williams and I thought

1590
01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:38,800
Speaker 1: about putting him on the bench. Our final matchup is

1591
01:24:38,840 --> 01:24:42,000
Speaker 1: Detroit taking on Green Bay. Brian talked to us about

1592
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:45,439
Speaker 1: the Lions Monday night game. Here, we'll start with carry

1593
01:24:45,479 --> 01:24:49,280
Speaker 1: On Johnson getting in a green Bay allowing five point

1594
01:24:49,280 --> 01:24:51,920
Speaker 1: three yards per carry in the seventh most catches to

1595
01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:55,280
Speaker 1: running backs this year. Carry On saw Lions coming off

1596
01:24:55,280 --> 01:24:56,560
Speaker 1: the bye, by the way, which is always good to

1597
01:24:56,680 --> 01:24:59,920
Speaker 1: his carry On Detroit's offensive snaps in their last game,

1598
01:25:00,280 --> 01:25:02,679
Speaker 1: so he looks to be trending towards Bell Cow status.

1599
01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:04,960
Speaker 1: And the last four running backs you face Green Bay

1600
01:25:05,080 --> 01:25:06,920
Speaker 1: have produced at least nine you On Comboy yards and

1601
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:10,040
Speaker 1: at least one touchdown, So hopefully Matt Patricia uses carry

1602
01:25:10,040 --> 01:25:12,720
Speaker 1: On correctly in this one. Kenny Golladay getting get a

1603
01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:14,360
Speaker 1: as well. All you need to do is look at

1604
01:25:14,400 --> 01:25:17,080
Speaker 1: the opposing wide receiver box scores to feel good about

1605
01:25:17,080 --> 01:25:20,960
Speaker 1: Baby Tron's prospects. Amari Cooper had eleven for two and one,

1606
01:25:21,200 --> 01:25:23,719
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup in the same game seven for one, thirteen

1607
01:25:23,760 --> 01:25:26,759
Speaker 1: and one. Alan Robinson topped a hundred yards. Courtland Sutton

1608
01:25:26,800 --> 01:25:29,719
Speaker 1: five or eighty seven. Stephan Diggs and Alison Jeffrey both

1609
01:25:29,720 --> 01:25:33,360
Speaker 1: scored against Green Bay. Easy a for Golladay attempted to

1610
01:25:33,400 --> 01:25:37,160
Speaker 1: give Marvin Jones be here, even though he's pretty touchdown dependent.

1611
01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:39,559
Speaker 1: Although he is on pace for seventy plus catches and

1612
01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:41,960
Speaker 1: a thousand yards this year, which is pretty impressive, and

1613
01:25:41,960 --> 01:25:45,040
Speaker 1: he does have four touchdowns across his last three games

1614
01:25:45,080 --> 01:25:48,439
Speaker 1: against Green Bay. But I'm gonna be uh approaches with

1615
01:25:48,439 --> 01:25:50,360
Speaker 1: a little trepidation. Is give him a C in this one.

1616
01:25:50,360 --> 01:25:53,439
Speaker 1: I like Golladay a whole lot. More Over to the

1617
01:25:53,479 --> 01:25:57,440
Speaker 1: tight end position, t J. Hockenson still in concussion protocol.

1618
01:25:58,080 --> 01:26:01,320
Speaker 1: Help he goes, hope he goes to his floor. Can

1619
01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:03,960
Speaker 1: hit you hard though, trust me, I know um He's

1620
01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:06,519
Speaker 1: probably a low end tight end one. If cleared, especially

1621
01:26:06,520 --> 01:26:09,400
Speaker 1: in this week's tight end waste Land team startgeting targeting

1622
01:26:09,400 --> 01:26:11,720
Speaker 1: tight ends against the Packers or twenty two of seven

1623
01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:15,360
Speaker 1: years and green Bay will be without starting free safety

1624
01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:19,960
Speaker 1: Darnell Savage. Uh. For those reasons about me liking the

1625
01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:23,639
Speaker 1: past catchers is why Matt Stafford gets a B. Traubinsky, Cousins,

1626
01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:26,120
Speaker 1: and Flacco were shut down by Green Bay, but that

1627
01:26:26,240 --> 01:26:29,160
Speaker 1: is totally understandable. Carson Wentz and dak Prett Scott both

1628
01:26:29,240 --> 01:26:32,040
Speaker 1: tossed multi multiple touchdowns against the pack over the last

1629
01:26:32,040 --> 01:26:35,080
Speaker 1: two weeks, and Stafford has thrown two or three touchdowns

1630
01:26:35,080 --> 01:26:39,080
Speaker 1: and nine straight games that is, I didn't realize such

1631
01:26:39,080 --> 01:26:43,120
Speaker 1: a pack. They're just always behind these games. They take it,

1632
01:26:43,160 --> 01:26:45,000
Speaker 1: but uh might not be the case in this game

1633
01:26:45,160 --> 01:26:47,439
Speaker 1: over to the green Bay side could be without their

1634
01:26:47,479 --> 01:26:50,160
Speaker 1: starting center, Corey Leslie. I believe his name is that

1635
01:26:50,200 --> 01:26:52,519
Speaker 1: all the direct impact on Aaron Jones just gonna give

1636
01:26:52,560 --> 01:26:55,120
Speaker 1: him a b here. Though. Even though the Blinds run

1637
01:26:55,160 --> 01:26:58,479
Speaker 1: defense hasn't been as stout as last season post the

1638
01:26:58,479 --> 01:27:01,439
Speaker 1: Snacks Harrison trade us in, running backs are averaging more

1639
01:27:01,479 --> 01:27:04,479
Speaker 1: than a touchdown per game on the ground and seventy

1640
01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:06,720
Speaker 1: yards through the air. That's were pretty good numbers for

1641
01:27:06,920 --> 01:27:10,160
Speaker 1: running backs, and despite already having their by Detroit has

1642
01:27:10,200 --> 01:27:13,599
Speaker 1: yielded the fifth most red zone touches to opposing running backs.

1643
01:27:13,880 --> 01:27:15,599
Speaker 1: All you have to do is pray that Jamal Williams

1644
01:27:15,600 --> 01:27:17,720
Speaker 1: stays off the field for Aaron Jones on this one now,

1645
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:19,680
Speaker 1: and Williams might come back for this one, which is

1646
01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:22,879
Speaker 1: a bomber who will now be returning his Davante Adams.

1647
01:27:22,920 --> 01:27:24,760
Speaker 1: He will not play with the toe injury, won't play

1648
01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:28,000
Speaker 1: until it is fully healed, Green Bay is saying, and

1649
01:27:28,000 --> 01:27:31,080
Speaker 1: that is not this week. Geronimo Allison also questionable with

1650
01:27:31,120 --> 01:27:34,759
Speaker 1: a hamstring injury. He might not go. Let's assume he does.

1651
01:27:35,439 --> 01:27:39,240
Speaker 1: I'll give I'm sorry, Mark hasval This scantling is questionable.

1652
01:27:39,240 --> 01:27:42,280
Speaker 1: With the Hammy Allison is fine, I'll give both the

1653
01:27:42,320 --> 01:27:45,240
Speaker 1: Sea other than talent rather than talent, I'm not sure

1654
01:27:45,320 --> 01:27:48,960
Speaker 1: Darius Slay which shadow either of these guys, and someone

1655
01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:51,200
Speaker 1: has to pass catch passes of Adams is out, so

1656
01:27:51,320 --> 01:27:53,960
Speaker 1: let's give both the Sea. The Lions have yielded the

1657
01:27:53,960 --> 01:27:56,479
Speaker 1: most red zone targets opposing wide receivers, but only three

1658
01:27:56,479 --> 01:28:00,160
Speaker 1: wide receivers have scored so far off those targets. Jimmy Graham,

1659
01:28:00,280 --> 01:28:03,240
Speaker 1: hate him, but give him a see. Uh. Detroit hasn't

1660
01:28:03,280 --> 01:28:05,679
Speaker 1: allowed an opposing tight end to score this season. Travis

1661
01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:08,679
Speaker 1: Kelsey and Zeck are both had respectable games, but Graham

1662
01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:11,919
Speaker 1: is far from comparable to those guys, and Aaron Rodgers

1663
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:16,200
Speaker 1: also questionable. He should go. No, Davante Adams Hurt's no

1664
01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:19,360
Speaker 1: starting center. Patrick Mahomes didn't throw a touchdown pass against
