We I brought 0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:32.280 something for us. 0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:36.000 I see that, and you know what, because we are 0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:38.360 not live on the air, Yeah, we can drink all 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:38.680 we want. 0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:41.279 Oh we can if we were live on the air. 0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:44.600 No FCC, no, dice can't, right right, this is a 0:00:44.640 --> 0:00:45.680 recorded podcast. 0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:48.840 Yeah, whatever we want, right, yeah, baby, Yeah. I brought 0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:53.120 a bottle of two XO bourbon French oak two XOL bourbon. 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:54.440 Now is it bubble oaked? 0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:57.720 It's it's it's one of my new favorites. It's uh yeah, 0:00:57.760 --> 0:00:59.920 two times oaked. Yeah, two double oh. 0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:03.160 All right, we'll give that try. Usually the double oaking 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:06.559 makes it smoother, but also you do get woodier tapes 0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:09.160 in there, so that's getting the fine line on that. 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:11.080 I like this. I like this one. So I had 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:12.399 to bring it in for you. I know you like 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:12.839 your bourbon. 0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:13.639 I do like bourbon? 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:16.080 You bourbon Guy Thorpe, Yeah, love bourbon. I didn't know that. 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:17.440 Yeah, sure, time of course. 0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:23.959 Oh all right, by the end, by the by the 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:25.840 end of the show, by the sixth segment, this show 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:26.800 is gonna be very different. 0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:29.720 Oh boy, I got to talk about bone Eggs in 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:30.840 an hour or so. 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:33.319 Yeah, let's crack it more. 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:36.240 And did you know bon Nicks leads the NFL in 0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:37.679 twenty plus yard completions. 0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:37.960 Yeah? 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:43.360 Poor pass that over? I who would. 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:44.959 Have expected that from mister dink and dunk. 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:49.040 I I'm stunned by this turner out by Bonecks. We'll 0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:51.240 talk about that more in the show later. We'll break 0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:54.320 down all the games, including that one. We will also 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:56.400 give the letter grades and all the players take a 0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:58.960 chance on me the nine players you would not normally start. 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:02.480 Three tough questions, premature speculation, all the stuff you know 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:07.960 in love from Fantasy Football Weekly. We begin with the 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:11.000 Seattle Seahawks traveling to the New York Jets Scotts and 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:15.040 one of the more peculiar stats I can remember. Yes, 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.120 you know, normally when a quarterback goes to the Jets 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:20.880 to face Sauce Gardner, DJ Reid and Michael Carter like 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:26.160 game over. But tell people about the crazy rushing production 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:30.040 that the Jets are giving up to opposing quarterbacks. 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:33.560 Yeah. Just over the last seven weeks they have allowed 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:36.360 or sorry, just over the last six weeks, they have 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:39.560 allowed seven rushing touchdowns by quarterbacks. 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:45.400 By most seasons, no team will give up seven quarterback 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:48.280 rushing touchdowns in a year. The Jets have done in 0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:48.840 six games. 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:51.120 I'm guessing most don't even give up four or five. 0:02:51.720 --> 0:02:55.520 Yeah, it is. It puts Gino into a really interesting spot, 0:02:55.600 --> 0:02:58.360 especially for dfs and other places where you're trying to 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:02.760 maybe find some unusual angles. Yeah, this might be one. 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:06.239 It is an interesting angle. And he's also the quarterback 0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:10.480 that leads the NFL in passing yards per game. Obviously 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:12.239 Lamar is a little ahead of him, but he's on 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:14.480 one extra game played, right, So I do have a 0:03:14.480 --> 0:03:17.360 B grade on Gino Smith. His main problem has been 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:19.800 the multi score games. But if if you might be 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:21.919 able to get a rushing touchdown out of Gino, which 0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:25.760 you got last week, given what this defense is allowed, 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:29.400 and he's had inside the five run in each of 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:32.160 the last two weeks, so they're not opposed to giving 0:03:32.160 --> 0:03:34.680 it to him there. I got a B grade here. 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:36.320 I think his two hundred and fifty to two hundred 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:39.040 and seventy five yard average throwing a score because he's 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:41.840 getting one every week, throwing a possible rushing one. I 0:03:41.840 --> 0:03:43.720 think he got a B grade here in this matchup, 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:48.520 even though it's a very tough Jets secondary over to 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:51.680 the wide receivers Jackson Smith and Jigba, who has been 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:56.280 just red hot on fire over the last seven weeks 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:58.600 or so. We're going to talk about him a little later, yep, 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:01.200 but I'll get into right now. He's got the best 0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:04.520 matchup of the wide receivers against Michael Carter in the slot, 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:06.880 but that's still a tough matchups, but it is the 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:10.080 best of them. His target shares over the last three 0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:14.200 weeks have been averaging in the thirties thirty eight one week, 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:16.480 thirty six one week, a little under thirty another week. 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:19.560 But he's scoring tons of Fantasy points. He gets forty 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.520 five percent of the team's wide receiver end zone targets 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.280 in the last month, so he's just getting the ball 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:28.240 there constantly. Six plus catches in four straight sixty nine 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:31.080 plus yards in four straight. Yeah, I got him with 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.000 a B grade here. You could talk me into an 0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:35.680 A if it was a better matchup with against an 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:38.120 easier defense, but don't have it there. I have a 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:41.400 C grade on DKM Metcalf dominates the team in air 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.200 yards and a dop Jackson Smith and jigb has kind 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:46.960 of taken over for him. He lines up on Sausa's 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:49.560 side a little more, Lockett on red side a little more. 0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:52.320 But I'm not convinced Lockett's gonna play and when Metcalf 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:54.719 Mo moves around, he's gonna get one of the two. 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.600 And this is a defense allowing the fewest Fantasy points 0:04:57.600 --> 0:04:59.720 to wide receivers. So I just have a C grade 0:04:59.760 --> 0:05:02.840 on d KY Metcalf, who wasn't even practicing as late 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:06.040 as Thursday, so it could be a really tough one 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:10.520 for him there. Tyler Lockett, is that mine? 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:11.280 It is? 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:12.120 Wow? 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:12.720 That's all right. 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:15.400 I don't know what's going on there, Okay, Tyler Lockett 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:17.120 I have on the bench because he's gonna get that 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.840 same matchup. He's only seen a twelve percent target chair 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:24.320 since Week seven and just too tough of a spot. 0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:27.480 Jackson and metcalf forgetting everything no offense, also on the bench. 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:29.800 He's futally healthy now, but this is a top defense 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:33.200 against tight ends. Just forty two yards per game and 0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:35.440 only one score on the year, So he's back on 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:38.240 the bench. Still back on the bench, still over on 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:41.000 the Jets side. C grade for Aaron Rodgers as much 0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:43.760 as the Jets lose Rogers yards are low, but he 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:47.159 gets tons of scores. He's got multiple scores in most games. 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:50.800 I believe six last eight games the Seattle Seahawks have 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:54.040 allowed multiple scores, So I think he can get there 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.160 on scores, you know, two hundred yards, but he's going 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:57.039 to get a couple of scores. 0:05:57.080 --> 0:05:58.919 And I kind of like Garrett Wilson here. 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:00.680 I do. I do have a beat grade on Garrett 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:03.240 Wilson and a B grade on Devanta Adams. Wilson is 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:05.479 third in NFL in red zone attempt so he does 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.200 get a lot of that. But Wilson's catches in yards 0:06:08.240 --> 0:06:11.120 have dropped every week for three weeks. As Davante Adams 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.880 gets more into that system. He gets that matchup against 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:17.320 Riek Wollan, who has allowed five touchdowns this year. So 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:20.080 I do like the spot okay there for him. Davante 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:23.280 Adams also the B grade. He's begun to overtake. As 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:25.640 I just kind of mentioned. His targets are thirty one 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:27.920 to twenty four over the last three weeks, compared to 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:31.800 Garrett Wilson weeks nine through eleven. Adams more targets per 0:06:31.880 --> 0:06:34.400 ut run targets are yards and zone targets, et cetera. 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.400 The number one target getter against the Seahawks has topped 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.640 one hundred and or scored in six of the last 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:42.039 seven games, but a bunch of number two's had fifty 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.040 to seventy yards, So I'm fine with both of them. Here. 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:46.839 In the running game, Breest Hall says he's not sore, 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:49.040 says he's fine, says he's gonna play, so I'm gonna 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:52.880 trust him. The Eagles are allowing four point nine plus 0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:57.279 yards per carry, which is fourth worst, allowing the seventh 0:06:57.320 --> 0:06:59.680 most yards to backs one hundred and forty six combo 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.040 yards per game. It's just a great spot for a 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.960 guy getting fifteen plus touches that gets also pass game works. 0:07:04.960 --> 0:07:07.240 I have an A grade there. If for some reason 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:10.800 he doesn't go. Braylan Allen's an interesting take a chance 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.160 on me, but I have a bench good on Allen. 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:15.600 Yeah, I'm here, I hear you on that. All right, 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.400 let's go over to Pittsburgh taking on Cincinnati. You know, 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:21.680 on the Pittsburgh side. This feels like the Cincinnati defense 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:25.200 been very, very leaky. The Steelers offense hasn't been great lately. 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:27.560 But I feel like you could get the breakout game here. 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:28.239 What do you think? 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:30.800 Yeah, a couple guys that we're going to be targeting 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.559 for that. Not Russell Wilson. No gonna give him a seed. 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:36.040 The Ravens game was the only one Wilson hasn't thrown 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:40.040 for a touchdown or scored thirteen point eight plus fantasy points, 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:43.040 but he only finished quarterback twenty seven and quarterback nineteen 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.560 over the last two weeks. It is a decent matchup 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:47.920 to your point charge. The Bengals have allowed the sixth 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:51.920 highest passing yards per game since Week seven. Nase Harrison 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.840 Jalen Warren. I gave them both seas. I was between 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.080 a B and a C on NASE, but I toggled 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.920 it down to a Sea. Nase RB twenty seven and 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:03.360 fantasy points per game. But he has not finished as 0:08:03.400 --> 0:08:07.760 a top nine running back in any individual week, does 0:08:07.800 --> 0:08:10.679 have the sixteen plus touches in every game, averages close 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:13.679 to twenty and he has been out playing Jalen Warren 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:16.400 and getting more red zone work. But I'm gonna give 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.080 him a sea as I'm giving Jalen Warren here. They've 0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:22.320 played six games together since Warren returned from injury. During 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.200 that span, Harris has one hundred and nine carries and 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:28.880 fourteen targets two hunderd four snaps. Warren sixty one carries, 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:30.920 twenty targets one hundred and seventy six snaps. 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:31.400 Half. 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:33.840 Yeah, he did score his first touchdown of the season 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:36.800 last week. Jalen Warren did and had fourteen or more 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:39.120 touches and scored eleven plus fantasy points in two of 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:40.560 the past three games. You want to go a little 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:43.640 bit further. The Bengals, though, have been solid against receiving 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:46.679 running backs this season. They've allowed the fewest receiving yards 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.720 to opposing running backs. But yeah, I'm gonna give him 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:50.199 both seas. 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:51.080 Again. 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:53.280 I'm back and forth on him, but that's where I settled. 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.760 George Pickins, he's our breakout game guy. We're giving him 0:08:56.800 --> 0:09:00.000 an a here. He comes in thirty wide receiver things 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:01.840 thirty six fantasy points per game, but I think one 0:09:01.920 --> 0:09:04.720 hundred plus yard game is coming here. He would have 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.160 had a top ten wide receiver finish last week if 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:11.480 there wasn't that weird miscommunication on a potential touchdown. And 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:15.720 then Pickens's open score rate is tenth best in the NFL, 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:17.160 so he's still playing really well. 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.520 What's the sorry, what is the open score rate? 0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:21.160 I don't think they mystery the show. 0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:22.880 I don't think the Raiders ever mentioned this before. 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:25.400 Yeah, how often they get open? Okay? We got a 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:25.760 new one. 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:26.240 Okay. 0:09:26.679 --> 0:09:29.520 And the Bengals have allowed six double digit wide receiver 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:34.120 fantasy fantasy scorers in the last three games, so they're 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:37.680 they're giving up fantasy points to opposing receivers. Pat Fryermuth 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:39.959 is gonna give him a be tight end twenty in fantasy 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.520 points per game, head and En. He's had fifty plus 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:45.120 receiving yards only twice in the last seven games, but 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:47.880 did get three red zone looks in the last three games, 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:51.000 and this is solid matchup for him. Cincinnati has allowed 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:53.600 the fifth most receiving yards per game and the second 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:56.360 most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.480 Have you noticed speaking of Pittsburgh tight ends Russell Wilson's 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:02.680 getting Dare Washington involved. Yeah, I like it. It's only like, 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:05.000 you know, two or three catches a game, but man, 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:07.000 I just love to see the ball in his hands. 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:07.280 Yeah. 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:11.120 Huge athlete cuge literally literally a huge. 0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:12.559 Yeah, it's approximate. 0:10:12.679 --> 0:10:15.960 He was growing in the Kirby Smart mutant factory they 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:18.920 have down there in Athens. Moving over to the Bengals, 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:21.480 Joe Burrow give him an a quarterback three and fantasy 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:23.360 points per game. The Steelers do have one of the 0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:25.240 best pass defenses in the league. 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:26.559 Pittsburgh leads the. 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:30.760 NFL in opposing QBR in part they run that zone 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:34.560 coverage defense. I will say the Bengals offense ranks fourth 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:39.320 in zone QB QBR on offense, so they they have 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:42.480 done decent against zone defenses so far this year. Gonna 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.760 give Chase Brown and a getting all the work with 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:48.360 Zach Moss down. He's third in running back fantasy points 0:10:48.360 --> 0:10:50.920 per game first, and target second in receptions. 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:52.559 Chase Brown has been really good. 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.600 I was wrong about Chase Brown in the draft process. 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:56.320 He's been good. 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:58.840 But you know, here's the thing, though, I'll defend you 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:02.400 this way. He wasn't this good last year, wasn't this 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:05.480 good at Illinois, and Jason Brown has just gotten better. 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:07.800 Yeah, he wasn't a great receiver at Illinois, so that 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.440 part of his game in particular, so credit to him. 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:14.200 Jamar Chase obvious A and A must start T Higgins. 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:16.280 I was between an A and B here. 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:17.120 I'm gonna give him a B. 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:20.440 He had almost thirty PPR points in his return from 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:23.160 a three game quad absence in the week eleven against 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:25.880 the Chargers, and he scored at least fourteen point seven 0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:28.360 PPR games four games in a row, how to least 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:31.240 seven targets in each of those games. But Pittsburgh is 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:33.960 not an easy matchup. The Steelers have allowed the six 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:37.960 fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. The point about 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.080 Higgins though, in this game that makes him sneaky, which 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:43.120 why I was considering an A T Higgins is his 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:46.920 yards per route run against Cover one is three point 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:50.880 eighty five is sterling number crazy against all other coverages 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:52.000 one point nine to eight. 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:53.720 Wow, gerarlds per rout run. 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:56.400 The Steelers used Cover one the second most in the 0:11:56.520 --> 0:12:00.000 entire NFL, so it's like he is good against these 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:01.880 kind of coverage. His boy, the Steelers have such a 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:03.200 good pass defense. 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:04.400 All right, distill it into a letter. 0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:06.800 I gave him a B, but I was between A 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.920 and B for three aggains and then you keep getting 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:11.080 Mike Kiseki on the bench. 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:13.360 He's not usable with t Higgins back. 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:15.720 By the way, George pickens with Russell Wilson is wide 0:12:15.720 --> 0:12:18.600 receiver sixteen. Oh, he's thirty six on the season, so 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:21.280 that's even even better. Before I get yelled at on 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:24.400 social media, Kenneth Walker, it gets a B grade. I 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:28.800 completely glossed over Kenneth Walker. Volume backs like James Connor 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:31.280 Joe Mixon had one hundred plus total yards. It's a 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:33.520 tough matchup, but volume backs have done well, So I 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:34.600 got a B grade on Walker. 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:39.319 Arizona takes on Minnesota Kyler Murray's average passing game two 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:42.559 hundred and thirteen yards in one touchdown. I was looking 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:45.240 for who else, what's the quarterback comparison at two hundred 0:12:45.240 --> 0:12:49.760 and thirteen and one for a passing game. It's Daniel Jones. Boy, 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.560 he's thrown zero or one touchdowns in nine of the 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.480 last eleven games of the eleven this year. For Kyler 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:59.760 Murray not gad Vikings pass defense better lately, but it's 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:03.240 also come against inferior passers to Murray. And here's the thing. 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:07.120 We're here for Murray's rushing mostly, but get this, he's 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.040 in five to the last eight games he's been nineteen 0:13:10.160 --> 0:13:13.120 rushing yards or less. And what team ranks number one 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:18.760 against quarterback rushing yards. It'd be the biking it nine yards? 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:23.959 Nine yeah, nine time, that's it nine yards. So Kyler Murray, 0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:27.200 it's a generous be only because the pass defense has 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:30.520 been yielding for the Vikings. Marvin Harrison. I struggled with 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:33.920 this one too, massively inconsistent in his six bad games, 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:38.560 Marvin Harrison averaging one and a half catches twenty four 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:43.920 scoreless yards. In his five good games, five catches eighty 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:47.360 one yards and over one touchdown per game. For Marvin Harrison, 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:50.679 he is the most all or nothing player in the NFL. 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:52.760 We should talk about him later, we should talk about 0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:53.160 Let's do it. 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:55.640 Let's dive into Marvin Harrison little more later specific to 0:13:55.679 --> 0:13:58.599 this matchup, though more likely to be good in a 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.560 matchup against the bottom rank Vikings pass defense and yards 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:03.959 allowed to wide receivers, he lines up all over the 0:14:04.000 --> 0:14:05.839 field the X Y Z. That means he's going to 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:08.760 face all three of the Vikings cornerbacks, honestly, none of 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:13.120 which are particularly problematic matches. Marvin Harrison B grade here. 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:17.880 Trey McBride also B grade. He's caught sixty one passes 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:22.520 covering almost seven hundred yards and hasn't scored, which is 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:23.240 I mean. 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:26.400 He had a rushing tech did a rushing touch you know, I. 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:28.280 Think you're right about it. You're right, he has a 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:31.840 rushing touchdown. But he's top fifty receiving yards in six 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:35.600 of the past seven games. Last week, McBride twelve catches 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:40.040 one hundred and thirty three yards in Yeah, unreal. Cole 0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:42.960 Kmet randomly hit the Vikings for sixty four yards last week, 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:45.320 but before that they'd been great against tight ends for 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:48.640 the previous six games, although none of them is good. 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:51.040 Never saw a tight end as good as Tray McBride. 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:53.840 B grade for Trey McBride. Last guy you care about 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:58.080 James Connor. Toughest matchup of his year. Okay, no runner 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:00.760 has top forty eight yards. Again, it's the Vikings in 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:04.800 a month. Here's their run defense stats rushing yards allowed 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:08.840 number one yards per carry, number two, defensive EPA number 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:13.080 one run defense success rate number one, yards after contact 0:15:13.160 --> 0:15:16.440 number two, and mistackles the Vikings are number one. It 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:20.400 is a stifling run defense, and James Connor only comes 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:22.360 in with a C grade. Let's go over to the 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:25.600 Viking side. Justin Jefferson coming up a dud game and 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:29.480 he has not scored in five games. But the Vikings 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:31.680 have won all five games, and they've proven that triple 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:34.280 covering Jefferson means that Simon Sam Darnold will beat the 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:39.080 team with other assets. The Cardinals have one very good cornerback, 0:15:39.560 --> 0:15:43.240 Garrett Williams, allowing a fifty four percent completion rate and 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:45.840 just one touchdown all year. He's the fifth He's the 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:48.920 eighth ranked cornerback by Pro Football Focus. Garrett, and he's 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:52.800 their slot guy, right, That's exactly right. He's the slot guy. Now, 0:15:52.920 --> 0:15:54.800 Jefferson does run from the slot on about a third 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:55.880 of his routes, but. 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:56.960 He can avoid them. 0:15:57.080 --> 0:15:58.560 They can avoid it, right, I mean the other two 0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:00.960 thirds he won't see that guy, and they could just 0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:03.120 run him in the slot less if they want to. 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:05.440 So I've still got an A grade on Justin Jefferson. 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:10.000 Let's go over to Jordan Addison, who's been red hot lately, 0:16:10.360 --> 0:16:14.320 primarily running on the outside. He's gonna see cornerbacks Sean Murphy, buntings, 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:17.640 Starling Thomas. Thomas has been great lately, allowing just two 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:19.920 catches for twenty three yards in his coverage over the 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:23.360 last six games, but bunting's a major liability, allowing it 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:27.200 eighty percent can catch rate. Addison's very touchdown dependent because 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:29.200 he doesn't have great volume, and the Cardinals have only 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:32.400 allowed one touchdown to wide outs in their last five games. 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:34.520 You want to know why the Cardinals are suddenly sitting 0:16:34.560 --> 0:16:37.200 in first place in their division, and it's this defense 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:40.840 has come around really nicely. TJ. Hockinson comes in with 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:43.160 a B grade. Josh Oliver has been ruled out and 0:16:43.480 --> 0:16:46.320 he was last week too, and Hockinson saw season high 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:50.000 and snaps and targets. The Cardinals are downright dominant, though 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:53.880 against tight ends, only two guys all year have top 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:55.240 thirty six yards. 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:56.120 That's a low mark. 0:16:56.240 --> 0:16:58.000 That is a low mark, and they've only given up 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:01.040 one touchdown to tight Endsamer of hope is that the 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:04.800 only Hockinson level tight end to face the Cardinals was 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:08.040 George Kittle and he put up eight catches, sixty four 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:11.800 yards and a touchdown against the Cardinals. B grade for TJ. Hockinson, 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:14.440 and we'll round out the passing game with Sam Donald 0:17:14.480 --> 0:17:17.760 coming off probably the best two games of his career. 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:21.159 But the Cardinals are a sneaky good pass defense, as 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:24.560 I've already alluded to. Over the past four games, they're 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:28.639 giving up zero point four passing touchdowns, so there is 0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:31.159 some downside with Donald, who usually has a very high floor. 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:35.120 I've given his receivers ABS and C grades, So Sam 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:37.360 Donald comes in right at the middle with a B grade, 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:41.879 and that leaves us with Aaron Jones. Arizona was a 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:46.480 terrible run defense in September, but they've been great since then. 0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:50.119 Over the past seven games, Arizona's only allowed one runner 0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:54.400 to score a rushing touchdown randomly Raheem Moster, other good 0:17:54.440 --> 0:17:58.520 backs like Josh Jacobs, JK. Dobbins, Breese Hall, Kenneth Walker 0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:03.399 really good backs averaging forty seven rushing yards per game 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:08.000 against Arizona. Cardinals are giving up decent receiving games to runners, 0:18:08.040 --> 0:18:11.000 but Kevin O'Connell just doesn't use Jones that way. So 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:14.000 I don't think he cashes in there. Over the past 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:17.840 seven games, Aaron Jones is averaging just two catches per game, 0:18:18.000 --> 0:18:20.359 so might be an opportunity missed for him, and he 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:23.240 comes in with a C grade in this game. When 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:25.760 we come back take a chance on me nine players 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:27.920 you would not normally start. Many of these guys in 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:30.480 the waiver wire. Almost all them tell you who they are. 0:18:30.520 --> 0:19:03.320 When we come back on me nine players you would 0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:08.040 not normally start. We begin with Scott Fish. Who is 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:09.480 your take a chance on me quarterback? 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:12.159 Yeah, I'm going with Drake May in a matchup against 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:15.399 a Colts that are basically bottom nine in every category, 0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:19.720 but in the past they're just as bad. He's running 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:22.080 the ball about five times a game. That's gonna give 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:25.919 you extra work. He has at least one score in 0:19:26.040 --> 0:19:28.199 seven straight games and his yards have been ticking up 0:19:28.280 --> 0:19:30.600 quite a bit lately. So I like Drake May here. 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:34.040 It's coming around nicely. Drake May, All right, offensive line 0:19:34.119 --> 0:19:36.320 is so bad, so bad? 0:19:36.440 --> 0:19:38.480 Well, it's really it's terrible. 0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:39.840 One of the worst I've ever seen. And I know 0:19:39.880 --> 0:19:42.080 it's a lot of injuries and different things, but can't 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:45.120 wait to see Drake May next year, find a better line. 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:47.320 Get him a better line and a wide receiver in 0:19:47.359 --> 0:19:48.200 the draft, and. 0:19:48.760 --> 0:19:51.640 Game on, Game on for Drake may thor you taking 0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:53.040 chance on me quarterback. 0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:55.199 I'm gonna go with CJ. Stroud against the Jaguars. 0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:55.960 Like it. 0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:58.920 Stroud has scored fewer than twenty fantasy points six games 0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:01.480 in a row, five in exceptions in the past three games, 0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:03.280 the same number he had for the entirety of his 0:20:03.400 --> 0:20:06.800 rookie season. He's top two hundred fifty passing yards just 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:10.560 once over the last four games, but he was close 0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:14.360 to twenty fantasy points last week against Tennessee. And this 0:20:14.440 --> 0:20:17.760 is a great matchup incoming that Jaguars have allowed the 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:21.639 most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this year, and Stroud's 0:20:21.640 --> 0:20:26.280 three career games against the Jaguars nine twenty nine passing yards, 0:20:26.359 --> 0:20:28.560 six touchdowns, zero interceptions. 0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:29.320 C J. 0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:33.800 Stroud love it, bounce back game coming. Will Levis quietly 0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:37.480 playing by far the Mayo man, the Mayo man, play 0:20:37.760 --> 0:20:40.919 the male he delivered. Yeah, I'm playing by far the 0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:43.360 best football of his career and it's not close. Now, 0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:46.800 granted that's not a high bar, but over the past 0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:50.639 three games, Will Levis is sixth in passer rating, eleventh 0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:54.040 in completion percentage, third in depth of target at nine 0:20:54.080 --> 0:20:55.919 point six. I was worried that they had just like 0:20:56.000 --> 0:20:58.200 throttled him down a bunch and he was doing dump 0:20:58.200 --> 0:21:00.960 offs and stuff. No, Will Levis is throwing downfield at 0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:03.560 a high completion percentage in Dynasty. 0:21:03.720 --> 0:21:08.879 Very bons like uh more on that coming in Dynasty. 0:21:09.160 --> 0:21:14.120 Will Levis is an intriguing acquisition target right now because 0:21:14.280 --> 0:21:17.080 it's possible, Like you know, the Will Levis, the Will 0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:20.040 Levis manager is not doesn't realize what he or she 0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:23.200 has got right now. Commander's secondary commanders this week is 0:21:23.200 --> 0:21:25.600 the opponent they're secondary faltering of late. Over the past 0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:30.399 four games, Daniel Jones, Russell Wilson, and Cooper Rush have 0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:33.919 all thrown multiple touchdowns against Washington. They're also giving up 0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:37.320 good rushing games to scrambling quarterbacks like Levitt, who averages 0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:40.280 a respectable twenty two rushing yards per game. All right, 0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:41.400 let's go to the running back. 0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:43.160 Can I ask you a question? First? Did you think 0:21:43.160 --> 0:21:44.879 he said mailman or mayo? 0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:45.120 Man? 0:21:45.160 --> 0:21:45.400 Mayo? 0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:46.040 Man? Okay? 0:21:46.200 --> 0:21:46.600 Was playing? 0:21:46.720 --> 0:21:48.480 Okay? Gotcha got playing? 0:21:48.560 --> 0:21:48.879 Okay? 0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:50.240 Just make it sure, just make it sure. 0:21:50.280 --> 0:21:52.159 I was just trying to pivot. I like, I like 0:21:52.200 --> 0:21:52.520 it thing. 0:21:52.600 --> 0:21:53.000 I like it. 0:21:53.119 --> 0:21:55.280 Now let's go to the running back position. 0:21:55.440 --> 0:21:58.680 I am going with Antonio Gibson for those same Patriots 0:21:58.680 --> 0:22:02.160 playing those same Colts who are third worst against fantasy 0:22:02.240 --> 0:22:05.000 running backs. Not only are they third worst, they allow 0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:08.840 the most combo yards. They're seventh worst against receptions and 0:22:09.080 --> 0:22:13.119 yards allowed to pass catching backs. That's Gibson's role. He 0:22:13.160 --> 0:22:15.359 got most of the past catching work last week, and 0:22:15.400 --> 0:22:18.920 he out snaps Stevenson after Stevenson got his fifth fumble 0:22:19.040 --> 0:22:20.840 of the year. I wonder if there might be a 0:22:20.880 --> 0:22:22.639 little tie turning bit. It's a good matchup for a 0:22:22.640 --> 0:22:23.440 pass catching back. 0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:25.760 Sounds good. Let's store let's go to your take a 0:22:25.840 --> 0:22:26.720 chance with me running back? 0:22:26.840 --> 0:22:30.800 Is that Kamani Vidal's music? I hear? Is that Kamani 0:22:31.040 --> 0:22:31.720 dal music? 0:22:31.760 --> 0:22:33.520 What would be his music? Can we get something on 0:22:33.560 --> 0:22:34.119 the button bar? 0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:34.480 No? 0:22:34.560 --> 0:22:37.760 I don't got gotta be something from Alabama because he 0:22:37.760 --> 0:22:38.440 went to Troy. 0:22:38.960 --> 0:22:39.520 That isn't that. 0:22:39.560 --> 0:22:42.320 Leonard Skinner Terry, Yeah, okay, yeah, we'll do that work out. 0:22:42.320 --> 0:22:45.399 I'll do that, okay, But Charger's playing the falcon and JK. 0:22:45.560 --> 0:22:48.879 Dobbins with his knee injury is out this week. Gus Edwards, 0:22:48.920 --> 0:22:51.760 he returned from his own injury in November, presumably will 0:22:51.800 --> 0:22:54.480 be the starter here. But it does sound like Vidal 0:22:54.560 --> 0:22:58.000 will be used heavily in this game, especially on passing downs. 0:22:58.000 --> 0:22:59.960 I think he'll be in for all the passing downs. 0:23:00.400 --> 0:23:03.560 This was Chargers offensive coordinator Greg Roman speaking this week. 0:23:03.720 --> 0:23:06.040 He said, we fully expect Kamani to step in if 0:23:06.080 --> 0:23:08.720 JK can't go this week. JK is not going might 0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:10.920 get a bigger, a little bit bigger workload. 0:23:10.960 --> 0:23:11.640 We'll see. 0:23:12.200 --> 0:23:15.080 We have full confidence in Kamani and where he's at 0:23:15.240 --> 0:23:18.080 end quote. If the Chargers lead throughout the second half 0:23:18.119 --> 0:23:19.760 of this game, Vidal is going to get more work 0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:22.720 there as well. And of course, the Chargers rushing offense 0:23:22.800 --> 0:23:26.000 is averaging one hundred and eighteen plus rushing yards per game. 0:23:26.200 --> 0:23:27.280 So I like Kimani Videll. 0:23:27.480 --> 0:23:30.119 The other part that you didn't mention, Gus Edwards is 0:23:30.160 --> 0:23:33.120 not playing well. You got dead legs, dead legs? Does 0:23:33.240 --> 0:23:34.520 he's got dead legs. 0:23:34.560 --> 0:23:38.040 KIMMANI and Adull does not. No, Yes, that's fresh legs. 0:23:37.800 --> 0:23:39.520 Right, Yeah, he's got the Jimmy legs. 0:23:39.640 --> 0:23:40.240 Yeah, exactly. 0:23:40.640 --> 0:23:42.800 For all the times we've mentioned Kimani in there for 0:23:42.840 --> 0:23:44.840 the last nine months. God, I want to payoff the 0:23:44.840 --> 0:23:47.120 final get here, here comes a break. I'm gonna try 0:23:47.200 --> 0:23:50.440 Jeremy McNichols Washington running back against Tennessee. 0:23:50.680 --> 0:23:52.119 Boise State in the House? 0:23:52.240 --> 0:23:54.120 Yes, how about that. It's gonna be some Boise State 0:23:54.119 --> 0:23:54.840 in the House next year? 0:23:54.960 --> 0:23:56.200 Yeah, sure will Yeah. 0:23:56.160 --> 0:23:59.240 There's a chance McNichols is the Commander's lead back because 0:23:59.280 --> 0:24:01.880 Brian Robinson he's got ankle and hamstring injuries, got knocked 0:24:01.880 --> 0:24:04.520 out last week, got knocked out two weeks before that, 0:24:04.960 --> 0:24:08.160 and Austin Eckler is already ruled out of this game. 0:24:08.200 --> 0:24:11.920 So worst case, Jeremy McNichols will be running the Austin 0:24:12.000 --> 0:24:15.400 Eckler role. In limited use this year, McNichols has looked 0:24:15.400 --> 0:24:17.840 pretty good. He's averaging five yards per carry. He's found 0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:20.840 the end zone three times despite barely getting on the field. 0:24:21.280 --> 0:24:24.160 It's a tough matchup against the Titans, but they've given 0:24:24.240 --> 0:24:27.320 up touchdowns six rushing touchdowns in the last six games, 0:24:27.320 --> 0:24:29.879 So maybe McNichols converts a goal to go and helps 0:24:29.880 --> 0:24:32.200 you out that way. Let's go to the receivers, Scott, 0:24:32.240 --> 0:24:33.320 you're taking a chance with me guy. 0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:33.680 Yeah. 0:24:33.680 --> 0:24:37.520 A couple weeks ago, I gave you mvs. Marquez Valdez 0:24:37.560 --> 0:24:38.639 Scantleon for the Saints. 0:24:38.720 --> 0:24:40.800 Let's scored when you did that, he scored a big touchdown. 0:24:40.880 --> 0:24:43.400 Ah, there we go. This week he gets a RAMS 0:24:43.440 --> 0:24:46.840 defense allowing the sixth most receptions over twenty yards at 0:24:46.840 --> 0:24:49.440 thirty eight. That's about three and a half twenty plus 0:24:49.560 --> 0:24:52.520 yard receptions per game. If anyone's getting in on that team, 0:24:52.560 --> 0:24:54.720 it's going to be mvs. In a game that's slated 0:24:54.760 --> 0:24:56.480 as one of the highest over hunders of the week. 0:24:56.800 --> 0:24:58.200 I think he's going to do it again. 0:24:57.960 --> 0:24:58.320 All right. 0:24:58.400 --> 0:25:00.560 I like it your that's your That's kind of an 0:25:00.560 --> 0:25:02.240 all or nothing darts throw that you could pick up 0:25:02.240 --> 0:25:05.920 off the waiver WI right, Okay, thor you'll take a 0:25:06.000 --> 0:25:06.359 chance on me. 0:25:06.400 --> 0:25:09.280 Receiver Gonna go with Broncos wide receiver Devon hold the 0:25:09.359 --> 0:25:13.720 Veley against the Bronze Yeah. Vley's emerged as Denver's number 0:25:13.760 --> 0:25:16.280 two wide receiver over the past three games. He's a 0:25:16.359 --> 0:25:19.760 top twenty five fantasy receiver in the entire NFL. Has 0:25:19.800 --> 0:25:22.919 posted double digit PPR points in all three of those games. 0:25:23.320 --> 0:25:25.280 The Browns, the opponent this week, have given up the 0:25:25.320 --> 0:25:28.520 tenth most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers, and five 0:25:28.560 --> 0:25:32.240 wide receivers have scored fourteen plus PPR points against Cleveland 0:25:32.240 --> 0:25:33.280 in the past four games. 0:25:33.359 --> 0:25:35.959 I like Vley and Dynasty use. I like picking them 0:25:36.000 --> 0:25:38.040 up here, mostly for next year. But you know, it 0:25:38.080 --> 0:25:39.520 looks like bow Nicks is going to be able to 0:25:39.520 --> 0:25:43.520 support two receivers, and now we're starting to figure out 0:25:43.560 --> 0:25:45.800 who that second one is after they've been rotating guys 0:25:45.840 --> 0:25:47.600 in constantly at that number two spot. 0:25:47.680 --> 0:25:50.240 Yeah, Vley, he is at an advanced age. 0:25:50.280 --> 0:25:54.080 He's old for a rookie, and in college he was 0:25:54.080 --> 0:25:57.480 always in bad passing environments like with Utah their quarterback 0:25:57.520 --> 0:25:57.880 went down. 0:25:57.920 --> 0:26:00.600 Cam Risen was always getting injured, but an. 0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:03.840 Incredible athlete in a big package sixts four two O 0:26:04.000 --> 0:26:06.920 five two ten and very very fast, so he was 0:26:06.960 --> 0:26:08.679 always like the raw guy to keep an eye on, 0:26:08.760 --> 0:26:10.040 and he is breaking out. 0:26:10.480 --> 0:26:13.760 Adam Feelen returned last week, and I had worried that 0:26:13.800 --> 0:26:15.439 even when thelan was healthy, he might not have a 0:26:15.440 --> 0:26:17.480 major role in the Panthers offense. But as it turns out, 0:26:18.520 --> 0:26:21.120 I think Dave Canalis is looking at all these young 0:26:21.240 --> 0:26:23.840 receivers that are on that Panther's oster, and he's like, 0:26:23.880 --> 0:26:26.600 you know what, let's let Adam Thielen show these kids 0:26:26.640 --> 0:26:28.280 what it's like to be a pro. And he gave 0:26:28.359 --> 0:26:30.960 Flan a major role last week in his first game back, 0:26:31.240 --> 0:26:34.600 a sixty six percent route rate, second only to Xavier Lagette. 0:26:34.840 --> 0:26:37.320 And this is a very favorable matchup against Tampa, and 0:26:37.440 --> 0:26:40.760 especially in the slot. The year they've they've started using 0:26:41.040 --> 0:26:46.280 hybrid safety Christian Izian as their slot guy and he's 0:26:46.320 --> 0:26:50.040 allowing a seventy eight percent completion percentage. And the Tampa 0:26:50.119 --> 0:26:53.240 secondary is going to be missing starting safety Jordan Whitehead 0:26:53.440 --> 0:26:57.040 and the other safety, Tykey Smith is questionable the knee injury. 0:26:57.160 --> 0:26:59.880 So the Panthers passing game might get a little something 0:27:00.040 --> 0:27:02.760 going in this one. Adam Thielen as your final take 0:27:02.800 --> 0:27:06.640 a chance on me player, Let's go to our next matchup, 0:27:06.680 --> 0:27:09.480 Indianapolis taking on New England. Scott, you've already told us 0:27:09.520 --> 0:27:11.840 about some of the players you like on the New 0:27:11.840 --> 0:27:14.440 England side. Who do you like on the Indie side? 0:27:14.640 --> 0:27:17.240 Yeah, I'll still in the passing game or you know, 0:27:17.520 --> 0:27:21.080 more pseudo rushing game in Anthony Richardson, who I do 0:27:21.160 --> 0:27:23.560 have a C grade on. He's got twenty design character 0:27:23.800 --> 0:27:26.679 carries for ninety three yards and two scores in the 0:27:26.720 --> 0:27:30.480 last two games or three games. Yeah, since returning to 0:27:30.520 --> 0:27:33.680 the spot ten plus carries in three to the last four. 0:27:33.920 --> 0:27:36.199 You can expect kind of a base level there that 0:27:36.240 --> 0:27:40.119 he's gonna get around ten carries in those two games. 0:27:40.119 --> 0:27:43.160 He got a couple he shared split inside the five 0:27:43.200 --> 0:27:46.679 carries with Jonathan Taylor, which wasn't happening earlier in the season. 0:27:47.200 --> 0:27:49.800 So maybe they're they're using him a little differently, maybe 0:27:49.800 --> 0:27:52.119 to get his confidence up from the benching. I don't know. 0:27:52.160 --> 0:27:54.440 But add to that, his one hundred and seventy five 0:27:54.480 --> 0:27:56.560 yard average on the season has ticked up in the 0:27:56.640 --> 0:28:01.000 last two games, and you know, social media film watchers 0:28:01.040 --> 0:28:04.160 claim he's improved, Okay, so I'll give him that. I'll 0:28:04.160 --> 0:28:06.960 give him the C grade here in his for his 0:28:07.040 --> 0:28:09.520 wide receivers, Michael Pittman, I have a C grade on 0:28:10.240 --> 0:28:12.560 Courd and Mike Clay. In his shadow report, he's gonna 0:28:12.560 --> 0:28:15.800 get shadow treatment from Christian Gonzalez, who saw Jamar Chase, 0:28:15.840 --> 0:28:19.399 DK Metcalf, Garrett Wilson, Brendan Ayuk, Tyreek Hill, you know, 0:28:19.520 --> 0:28:23.600 DeVante Adams, Calvin Ridley, a bunch of those, only DK 0:28:23.720 --> 0:28:26.280 Metcalf was able to top seventy five yards, and just 0:28:26.440 --> 0:28:28.639 Metcalf and Wilson were able to score. Most of them 0:28:28.640 --> 0:28:32.240 were around fifty yards, but Pittman five for forty six 0:28:32.280 --> 0:28:34.000 and six for ninety six in the last two games 0:28:34.040 --> 0:28:36.840 with Richardson, he's getting the volume, so maybe he's one 0:28:36.840 --> 0:28:39.320 of those five or six catches fifty sixty yard guys 0:28:39.320 --> 0:28:41.520 that can get you to a SEA level. I also 0:28:41.520 --> 0:28:44.080 have a SEA on Alec Pierce. New England's just struggling 0:28:44.080 --> 0:28:47.880 on a perimeter receivers tenth most points allowed, fifth most 0:28:47.920 --> 0:28:51.040 to the perimeter, and with Josh Downs out, there's gonna 0:28:51.040 --> 0:28:54.080 be extra targets to go around. Alek Pierce is usually 0:28:54.080 --> 0:28:56.800 a one to three big play shot guy, but with 0:28:57.000 --> 0:28:58.760 Downs out, I'm gonna give him the SE grade. Think 0:28:58.760 --> 0:29:01.719 he gets a little extra one. Jonathan Taylor. I got 0:29:01.760 --> 0:29:04.200 a B grade on Pat's a bottom eight in yards 0:29:04.240 --> 0:29:06.360 and scores allowed to running backs over the last few 0:29:07.040 --> 0:29:10.160 they have been much stingier, allowing about eighty nine total yards. 0:29:10.160 --> 0:29:12.600 But the volume Taylor gets, I expect him to get 0:29:12.640 --> 0:29:16.000 to that eighty nine level. He has been held down 0:29:16.080 --> 0:29:19.240 back to back, but those were both top ten run defenses. 0:29:19.360 --> 0:29:22.320 This is not that big difference here, and he's a 0:29:22.760 --> 0:29:25.960 twenty plus touchbacks have destroyed the pats so B grade 0:29:26.000 --> 0:29:30.400 here Over on the other side, I mentioned Antonio Gibson, 0:29:30.480 --> 0:29:31.960 he was my take a chance on me player. 0:29:32.200 --> 0:29:33.040 What about Ramondre? 0:29:33.280 --> 0:29:35.400 I have him on the bench because of his two 0:29:35.440 --> 0:29:38.160 point six yards per carry, his constant fumbling, and he's 0:29:38.240 --> 0:29:41.840 just been so dang inefficient and if he splits touches, 0:29:42.200 --> 0:29:43.520 I don't know that I can love him. 0:29:43.440 --> 0:29:45.520 Here, and he does because you know how I feel 0:29:45.560 --> 0:29:48.800 about Romond. Yeah, he's my guy. Yeah, nowhere to run ever? 0:29:48.960 --> 0:29:50.760 Yeah, because of the line. 0:29:50.440 --> 0:29:52.080 The line's so bad. 0:29:52.400 --> 0:29:55.240 Yes, if with six teams on by, he does get 0:29:55.240 --> 0:29:58.200 a matchup. I mentioned in the last segment the third 0:29:58.240 --> 0:30:00.480 most Fantasy points allowed to running back. He's got a 0:30:00.520 --> 0:30:03.080 good matchup if you're really desperate with six teams on buy, 0:30:03.520 --> 0:30:06.600 But so Darthrow at best, Drake may was might take 0:30:06.640 --> 0:30:09.480 a chance on me quarterback. I really only like Damrio 0:30:09.560 --> 0:30:12.320 Douglas and Hunter Henry here, though Tomio Douglas with a 0:30:12.360 --> 0:30:15.240 C grade. He's at nine plus PPR points in four 0:30:15.280 --> 0:30:19.000 straight but he also hasn't top twelve PPR points in those, 0:30:19.040 --> 0:30:21.320 so he's like a nine to twelve point guy. He's 0:30:21.360 --> 0:30:24.240 getting four plus catches fifty plus yards in them, averaging 0:30:24.240 --> 0:30:27.920 seven targets. Colts allowing the seventh most receiving yards wide receiver, 0:30:28.000 --> 0:30:30.360 So I'm gonna give him a C and Hunter Henry 0:30:30.360 --> 0:30:32.720 gets the B five plus catches and forty four plus 0:30:32.800 --> 0:30:35.440 yards in five to last six. He did have a 0:30:35.600 --> 0:30:38.000 dud in at Chicago game where New England got up 0:30:38.000 --> 0:30:40.480 by thirty by a ton and ran the ball thirty 0:30:40.520 --> 0:30:44.640 one times, but otherwise, seven different tight ends have scored 0:30:44.760 --> 0:30:49.320 or hit fifty yards against the Colts, so it's a 0:30:49.320 --> 0:30:51.760 decent spot B grade Henry. 0:30:51.800 --> 0:30:56.120 This is the prototypical rookie quarterback looking for his gigantic 0:30:56.160 --> 0:30:58.920 tight end middle of the field. Hunter Henry's productivity has 0:30:58.960 --> 0:31:02.360 gone way up. Yeah, may yep, that's you know, he's 0:31:02.360 --> 0:31:03.520 turned into the fantasy player. 0:31:03.560 --> 0:31:05.239 I'd like to see it. Give us the tight end 0:31:05.240 --> 0:31:05.880 option out there. 0:31:05.920 --> 0:31:08.560 I know we need more of those. We need more 0:31:08.560 --> 0:31:12.080 of those? Is Will Disley? Won find out as we 0:31:12.160 --> 0:31:16.200 break down the Los Angeles Chargers taking on the Atlanta Falcons. 0:31:16.560 --> 0:31:19.280 Do we like Will Disley in this one Thorn Eistrom 0:31:19.320 --> 0:31:21.720 will break that matchup down for you when we come 0:31:21.720 --> 0:31:40.400 back to Fantasy Football Weekly, another block of matchups for you. 0:31:41.240 --> 0:31:45.400 Welcome back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Chargie and Scott 0:31:45.400 --> 0:31:48.360 Fish and thorn Eystrom with you. We pivot to Thor 0:31:49.000 --> 0:31:51.640 for the Chargers taking on the Falcons. And when we 0:31:51.720 --> 0:31:55.280 went into break Thor, I mentioned Will Disley. It's probably 0:31:55.280 --> 0:31:57.920 not where you were naturally going to start this matchup, 0:31:58.280 --> 0:32:00.600 but and so you don't have to. But Will Disley 0:32:00.600 --> 0:32:04.640 has turned into a PPR helper at its position where 0:32:04.640 --> 0:32:06.720 you can't always find help. Yeah, So if you want 0:32:06.760 --> 0:32:09.000 to start with Bill Disley weekend, where there's a Will, 0:32:09.040 --> 0:32:11.600 there's a way, nicely done, nicely done. 0:32:11.600 --> 0:32:12.840 I'm gonna give Disley a B. 0:32:13.320 --> 0:32:15.520 He sat out practice on Wednesday, but he was off 0:32:15.520 --> 0:32:18.200 the injury report on Friday, so we'll be a full 0:32:18.240 --> 0:32:22.200 goal from that groin injury. Certainly startable. With that being said, 0:32:22.520 --> 0:32:25.120 he's been averaging five catches for forty five yards on 0:32:25.240 --> 0:32:28.040 six targets since taking over. Is the team's primary pass 0:32:28.080 --> 0:32:31.000 catching tight end, and he's number nine and Fantasy points 0:32:31.040 --> 0:32:34.719 among all tight ends over the last month. Justin Herbert 0:32:34.760 --> 0:32:38.160 gonna give him an A scored twenty two plus fantasy 0:32:38.320 --> 0:32:41.320 points four games in a row prior to last week 0:32:41.400 --> 0:32:44.640 seventeen point six against Baltimore. Good matchup to get back 0:32:44.720 --> 0:32:47.280 on track here, the Falcons have given up twenty two 0:32:47.360 --> 0:32:51.160 plus fantasy points to five straight quarterbacks. And this is 0:32:51.200 --> 0:32:53.920 a fun stat at a Tassa sin The Falcons have 0:32:54.000 --> 0:32:56.920 ten sacks this year. That is the fewest by any 0:32:56.920 --> 0:32:59.360 team through eleven games since the twenty eighteen Raiders. 0:32:59.440 --> 0:33:01.080 Wow, Holy Cow. 0:33:01.360 --> 0:33:03.320 Might have might have used the edge resher there for 0:33:03.360 --> 0:33:05.040 the defense in the draft may Bee. 0:33:04.880 --> 0:33:06.000 That's probably coming next year. 0:33:06.080 --> 0:33:09.400 Yeah, well we'll see maybe another quarterback for terrible Terry 0:33:09.400 --> 0:33:14.240 found now. Yeah, Gus Edwards, we're gonna give him a bee. 0:33:14.320 --> 0:33:16.920 I mentioned before Kamani vidal As might take a chance 0:33:16.960 --> 0:33:19.520 on me running back. Gus is gonna get the gust. 0:33:19.520 --> 0:33:20.720 Bus is going to get a be here. 0:33:21.000 --> 0:33:21.320 JK. 0:33:21.400 --> 0:33:23.440 Dobbins, of course, with his knee injury, is out for 0:33:23.480 --> 0:33:27.760 this game. After Dobbins left last week, Gus Buss actually 0:33:27.760 --> 0:33:31.120 played eleven snaps twenty two for Hassan Haskins. But yeah, 0:33:31.200 --> 0:33:34.560 I'm expecting Gus to be the primary guy and Vida 0:33:34.640 --> 0:33:36.520 to be the pass catching guy and maybe get a 0:33:36.560 --> 0:33:38.400 little bit more work than that, especially if they have 0:33:38.440 --> 0:33:41.480 the lead and for Haskins not to be as involved 0:33:41.480 --> 0:33:45.200 here and Gus could be looking at around fifteen carries. 0:33:45.640 --> 0:33:46.320 Like I said, I. 0:33:46.440 --> 0:33:50.200 See you like him for about thirty yards. 0:33:50.240 --> 0:33:54.080 He is against right now, he is against the Falcons defense. 0:33:54.120 --> 0:33:56.400 But yeah, so we're gonna give him a Bee. 0:33:56.560 --> 0:33:59.320 I also gave Lad McConkie, a bee wide receiver thirty 0:33:59.320 --> 0:34:01.880 one and fantasy points per game. He is the go 0:34:01.960 --> 0:34:05.000 to receiver for Justin Herbert. Over the past two games, 0:34:05.080 --> 0:34:07.800 Lad twelve catches for two hundred and six yards on 0:34:07.920 --> 0:34:11.400 fifteen targets. The Falcons have allowed the fourth most fantasy 0:34:11.400 --> 0:34:14.960 points to opposing receivers, and they've been struggling against slot 0:34:14.960 --> 0:34:18.880 receivers in particular. If I thought this game could be closer, 0:34:19.040 --> 0:34:21.120 I like the Chargers in this one, but maybe I'd 0:34:21.120 --> 0:34:23.840 even tick Ladd up higher. But the second half with 0:34:23.920 --> 0:34:25.680 the lead, I don't know. They put the ball in 0:34:25.719 --> 0:34:28.520 the air as much. Quintin Johnson gave him a seat. 0:34:28.600 --> 0:34:31.400 He had the three drops against the Ravens last week. 0:34:31.640 --> 0:34:33.760 This is a good matchup for him as well, of course, 0:34:33.880 --> 0:34:36.920 versus that bad Falcons pass defense. The Falcons run a 0:34:36.920 --> 0:34:40.320 lot of Cover three. Quinton Johnston has the eleventh best 0:34:40.400 --> 0:34:42.799 yards per route run against Cover three this year. 0:34:42.880 --> 0:34:45.640 Wow, what so he got to give him a seat? Well, 0:34:45.800 --> 0:34:47.200 will he catch whatever throndo him? 0:34:47.520 --> 0:34:49.400 We'll find out. He got the drops, He's out of 0:34:49.400 --> 0:34:51.600 the way. Last week I used him all up. He's 0:34:51.680 --> 0:34:54.400 due to not drop the ball this year. Kirk Cousin's 0:34:54.440 --> 0:34:56.439 gonna give him a seat going over to the Falcon side. 0:34:56.520 --> 0:34:59.800 Four games to twenty plus fantasy points this all season. 0:35:00.080 --> 0:35:03.520 On two against Tampa Bay. Here's another crazy staff for you. 0:35:03.840 --> 0:35:07.680 For of Cousins's total fantasy points this seasons. 0:35:07.320 --> 0:35:08.880 Tamp came in those two games. 0:35:09.000 --> 0:35:09.280 Wow. 0:35:10.000 --> 0:35:14.000 Incredible zero touchdowns the past two games for Kirk Cousins. 0:35:14.400 --> 0:35:16.799 The Chargers have given up twenty plus fantasy points to 0:35:16.800 --> 0:35:19.480 three straight quarterbacks, but that has in part been because 0:35:19.520 --> 0:35:22.920 of rushing utility, which Cousins does not offer. For that reason, 0:35:22.920 --> 0:35:26.080 I give him a c B. Jon Robinson a must start. 0:35:26.320 --> 0:35:29.160 I would advise keeping Tyler l Jeer on the bench. 0:35:29.239 --> 0:35:31.200 I don't think this is the right matchup for him. 0:35:31.520 --> 0:35:33.319 Like I said, I like the Chargers in the game, 0:35:33.360 --> 0:35:35.239 and the Chargers have also given up the fifth viewes 0:35:35.320 --> 0:35:38.680 PPR points to opposing running backs and the Falcons maybe 0:35:38.719 --> 0:35:40.640 playing from behind the second half, which would cut into 0:35:40.680 --> 0:35:45.320 his usage. Drake London A must start Darnell Mooney b 0:35:45.600 --> 0:35:48.759 for him. He's expected to play after he left the 0:35:48.840 --> 0:35:50.960 last game against Denver with the hamstring injury, but they 0:35:51.000 --> 0:35:53.560 had to buy in between for Darnell Mooney to get healthy. 0:35:53.880 --> 0:35:56.640 Mooney has scored fourteen point six or more PPR points 0:35:56.640 --> 0:35:59.400 in three straight prior to that Broncos game when he 0:35:59.440 --> 0:36:02.120 got hurt. The Chargers have allowed five receivers to score 0:36:02.160 --> 0:36:04.520 at least twelve point three PPR points in the past 0:36:04.520 --> 0:36:08.040 five games. If Mooney were to be ruled out, I 0:36:08.080 --> 0:36:10.279 don't expect him to be, but if he were, then 0:36:10.640 --> 0:36:14.160 Ray Ray mccleody become a deep flex option. But otherwise 0:36:14.239 --> 0:36:16.920 keep Ray Ray on the bench. And then lastly, Kyle Pitts, 0:36:17.120 --> 0:36:19.640 I give him a C. I never I'm always wrong. 0:36:19.680 --> 0:36:23.440 Everyone's always wrong about Kyle. I'll just toss the Sea 0:36:23.480 --> 0:36:26.759 out nine point five PPR points or last three games 0:36:26.800 --> 0:36:29.919 in a row, one game with a touchdown since Week one, 0:36:30.040 --> 0:36:33.040 and this is also a tough matchup. Mark Andrews became 0:36:33.080 --> 0:36:35.600 the first tight end last week to score a touchdown 0:36:35.640 --> 0:36:38.360 against the Chargers all season long, and the Charges have 0:36:38.400 --> 0:36:41.279 allowed the sixth lowest yards per reception and the eighth 0:36:41.400 --> 0:36:44.120 lowest fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. 0:36:44.400 --> 0:36:47.239 You mentioned Andrewscott that first touchdown against the Chargers at 0:36:47.239 --> 0:36:50.640 this time last week. I did the Baltimore matchup Mark Andrews. 0:36:50.840 --> 0:36:53.520 He's so touchdown dependent. When he doesn't score, you only 0:36:53.520 --> 0:36:56.720 get like two catches twenty three yards, and the Chargers 0:36:56.760 --> 0:36:58.560 have never given up a touchdown, so you need to 0:36:58.640 --> 0:37:00.760 leave him on the bench. It's like saying. 0:37:00.800 --> 0:37:04.279 Candy Man in the mirror three times, that's gonna show up. Yeah, yep. 0:37:05.000 --> 0:37:07.279 Tampa Bay takes on Carolina. I did not expect this 0:37:07.360 --> 0:37:10.080 to be a thorny long matchup, but it kind of is. 0:37:10.560 --> 0:37:14.400 Let's uh, let's start with Bucky Irving. How good is 0:37:14.520 --> 0:37:19.920 Bucky Irving? Thor among runners with at least one hundred carries, 0:37:20.160 --> 0:37:24.040 Irving ranks number one in yards after contact and nobody 0:37:24.200 --> 0:37:28.120 is close. He's four point two yards after contact. He 0:37:28.239 --> 0:37:30.960 ranks number He's a banana peel that guy. I like this. 0:37:32.200 --> 0:37:35.880 He's number two in avoided tackle rate. He's number five 0:37:35.920 --> 0:37:39.200 in yards per carry, and he's six in yards over expectation. 0:37:39.800 --> 0:37:42.200 You know it is yards after contact were last week, 0:37:42.360 --> 0:37:44.560 just last week seven point three? 0:37:44.640 --> 0:37:44.920 Jeez. 0:37:45.400 --> 0:37:48.320 I mean, just at some point doesn't and I, Scott, 0:37:48.400 --> 0:37:49.719 I think I have already talked about this. I don't 0:37:49.719 --> 0:37:51.839 know if you've chimed in you Thorp, at some point, 0:37:52.320 --> 0:37:55.360 doesn't Bucky Irving just become the starter because he's so much. 0:37:55.200 --> 0:37:57.720 Better than I mean, he out snapped White last week. 0:37:57.960 --> 0:38:00.319 I know, but I want to see more. Okay, I do, 0:38:00.480 --> 0:38:02.440 and I want to believe that sooner or later it's 0:38:02.480 --> 0:38:05.360 gonna work out that way. Bucky Irving comes in with 0:38:05.360 --> 0:38:08.080 an A grade here. Carolina is predictably bad against the run, 0:38:08.120 --> 0:38:10.600 allowing the most fantasy points to opposing running backs, and 0:38:10.680 --> 0:38:12.799 even if he only gets his usual like ten twelve 0:38:12.880 --> 0:38:15.200 fifteen touches, that's enough for a big game for Irving. 0:38:15.200 --> 0:38:15.640 I love him. 0:38:15.640 --> 0:38:16.359 I'm going a grade. 0:38:16.520 --> 0:38:19.719 He won another Bucky Irvings ste please her. He ran 0:38:19.760 --> 0:38:22.399 a route on fifty nine percent of his snaps last week. 0:38:22.520 --> 0:38:25.800 Oh he again, casts he's digging into that receiving. 0:38:26.280 --> 0:38:26.759 I love it. 0:38:26.800 --> 0:38:28.759 So let's then go to Rashad White, who's got a 0:38:28.800 --> 0:38:31.680 C grade. I think he's fractionally as good a runner Aserving, 0:38:31.719 --> 0:38:34.200 but he continues to get half the snaps. I'll note 0:38:34.239 --> 0:38:37.640 that White snap percentage has decreased in three straight games, 0:38:37.880 --> 0:38:41.840 been Irving snaps have increased in three straight games. White 0:38:41.840 --> 0:38:44.560 does remain startable because of the strong matchup with Carolina, 0:38:44.600 --> 0:38:46.799 though c grade there. It's going to the passing game. 0:38:46.960 --> 0:38:49.759 I'm gonna start with Baker Mayfield. So with Mike Evans back, 0:38:49.840 --> 0:38:53.160 last week, Mayfield jumped right back to his previous passing 0:38:53.239 --> 0:38:56.680 success with nearly three hundred yards and a eighty percent 0:38:56.719 --> 0:39:02.400 completion rate for Baker Mayfield. The Panther secondary, though sneaky, 0:39:02.120 --> 0:39:05.760 they have improved a lot good quarterbacks, though still finding 0:39:05.800 --> 0:39:08.800 their ways to good games against Carolina, including Patrick Mahomes 0:39:08.880 --> 0:39:11.200 last week, who posted his highest scoring Fantasy day of 0:39:11.239 --> 0:39:14.640 the year. As a bonus, the Panthers have yielded quarterback 0:39:14.760 --> 0:39:18.880 rushing touchdowns or fifty or more rushing yards in every 0:39:18.960 --> 0:39:22.359 game since Week seven. And Baker is really good about 0:39:22.400 --> 0:39:24.880 scrambling out of the pocket and making things happen on 0:39:24.920 --> 0:39:27.760 the fly. So a grade for Baker mayfix this one. 0:39:28.600 --> 0:39:31.960 So then let's go to Mike Evans. He'll mostly see 0:39:32.000 --> 0:39:35.200 cornerback jac Horn, who's one of the few cornerbacks who's 0:39:35.239 --> 0:39:39.439 physical enough to battle Mike Evans. Horns a gambler who 0:39:39.440 --> 0:39:43.520 can smother smaller receivers. But obviously that's not Evans, who's gigantic. 0:39:43.840 --> 0:39:46.319 He also gets burned a lot, and he's given up 0:39:46.320 --> 0:39:49.600 four scores this year. Horns and e Lee tackler. He 0:39:49.760 --> 0:39:52.720 shuts down yards after catch, and that's where Mike Evans 0:39:52.760 --> 0:39:55.040 gets a lot of his damages after the catch, and 0:39:55.239 --> 0:39:56.840 jac Horn will not be a part of that. So 0:39:56.840 --> 0:40:00.000 I've got to B grade on Mike Evans. Sterling Shepard 0:40:00.120 --> 0:40:02.920 with a sneaky Sea grade, running primarily from the slot. 0:40:03.000 --> 0:40:06.279 That puts him on backup cornerback Dane Jackson a very 0:40:06.320 --> 0:40:09.760 positive matchup seeing the field in only four games, Jackson's 0:40:09.760 --> 0:40:12.439 allowed two scores in a seventy one percent completion rate. 0:40:13.160 --> 0:40:15.080 And it's a side note. I like Sterling Shepard in 0:40:15.080 --> 0:40:17.560 the slot his natural position. Mike Evans also runs in 0:40:17.600 --> 0:40:19.600 the slot more than you think, and he could destroy 0:40:19.680 --> 0:40:22.560 the one hundred and eighty pound Dame Jackson. So a 0:40:22.680 --> 0:40:25.640 C grade on Sterling Shepard. All right, where does that 0:40:25.719 --> 0:40:26.080 leave us? 0:40:26.080 --> 0:40:26.279 Oh? 0:40:26.360 --> 0:40:29.680 It leaves us right here, so bold strategy. Cotton is 0:40:29.960 --> 0:40:34.200 off sea. Cotton had a down game last week, as 0:40:34.200 --> 0:40:36.520 predicted on the show, and some people are correlating that 0:40:36.560 --> 0:40:38.560 to the return of Mike Evans. But Evans only lined 0:40:38.640 --> 0:40:41.520 up in the slot three times last week. Aughton lines 0:40:41.600 --> 0:40:44.600 up in line. He lines up in the slot. Point 0:40:44.640 --> 0:40:49.080 being Cotton and Evans path do not cross. Cotton should 0:40:49.120 --> 0:40:51.520 still be safe because he's getting so much extra work 0:40:51.560 --> 0:40:54.840 in the middle of the field, because Chris Godwin's still gone. 0:40:55.120 --> 0:40:58.560 Carolina getting hammered by tight ends, allowing the most PPR 0:40:58.680 --> 0:41:03.640 Fantasy points to tight end. Cotton A grade, A great, 0:41:03.760 --> 0:41:04.200 A grade. 0:41:04.280 --> 0:41:05.160 I knew that was coming. 0:41:05.640 --> 0:41:08.040 Let's go over to Carolina side. Still plenty to talk about. 0:41:08.080 --> 0:41:11.040 You wouldn't think so. Tuba Hubbard is arguably the league's 0:41:11.080 --> 0:41:14.000 most improved running back. He has scored and or top 0:41:14.200 --> 0:41:17.960 ninety two yards in eight of the last nine games. 0:41:18.480 --> 0:41:20.520 Hubbard is just basically a set it and forget it 0:41:20.560 --> 0:41:23.879 runner on an improving offense. Tampa's gotten a lot better 0:41:23.920 --> 0:41:26.920 against the run. Oh sorry, yeah, they're much better against 0:41:26.920 --> 0:41:29.240 the run than they were previously, and they're better against 0:41:29.239 --> 0:41:31.080 the run than they are against the pass. In the 0:41:31.120 --> 0:41:35.520 past two games. They've held Christian McCaffrey and Tyrone Tracy 0:41:35.840 --> 0:41:39.640 to forty two and thirty nine rushing yards. That's amazing. 0:41:39.760 --> 0:41:42.160 They've given up some big receiving days to runners, but 0:41:42.239 --> 0:41:44.359 Hubbard isn't much of a factor through the air, and 0:41:44.360 --> 0:41:47.359 he's only a B grade. Bryce Young is evolving into 0:41:47.400 --> 0:41:49.319 a plausible starter. We're going to talk more about him 0:41:49.320 --> 0:41:51.839 a little later in the show. Touchdown passes in four 0:41:51.880 --> 0:41:55.960 straight games and clearly obviously improved play. Nobody's going to 0:41:56.000 --> 0:41:57.279 start Young, so I'm not gonna spend a lot of 0:41:57.320 --> 0:42:00.359 time talking about him. But the Bucks are incredibly as 0:42:00.400 --> 0:42:03.040 a matchup, allowing the second most fantasy points of the position. 0:42:03.719 --> 0:42:06.040 Adam thelen Was might take a chance on me wide receiver. 0:42:06.280 --> 0:42:09.399 You can also start Xavier Ligette with Jalen Coker out. 0:42:09.440 --> 0:42:11.640 By the way, theeling's a SEA grade. With Jalen Coker out, 0:42:11.680 --> 0:42:14.799 Lagette is on the field nearly every snap now. He's 0:42:14.840 --> 0:42:18.400 not seeing a ton of targets, unfortunately, but big bodied, 0:42:18.480 --> 0:42:22.000 physical receivers have been killing the Bucks. Just in recent games. 0:42:22.280 --> 0:42:26.160 Juwan Jennings put up seven catches ninety three yards. DeAndre 0:42:26.239 --> 0:42:29.800 Hopkins scored twice. The Bucks are likely without starting safety 0:42:29.880 --> 0:42:32.960 Jordan Whitehead and their other safety Tykey Smith questioned both 0:42:33.080 --> 0:42:35.040 knee injuries I mentioned earlier in the show. So I 0:42:35.160 --> 0:42:38.600 like Xavier Ligette, who comes in with a se grade. 0:42:38.360 --> 0:42:41.000 That's a take a chance on me player that it 0:42:41.120 --> 0:42:41.879 really is a good one. 0:42:42.160 --> 0:42:44.120 I like it. I like it. We've got a couple 0:42:44.160 --> 0:42:47.839 of minutes left in this segment. You two, I don't 0:42:47.840 --> 0:42:50.799 think i've hit with this theory yet. Oh, boy, Thor, 0:42:50.960 --> 0:42:53.200 I think you're especially gonna like this. But Scott you 0:42:53.239 --> 0:42:58.719 might too. Brock Bowers, Oh, I know where you're going on. 0:42:59.120 --> 0:43:03.080 Oh one year, I knew exactly where you're going. Now 0:43:03.520 --> 0:43:04.320 here's the theory. 0:43:04.719 --> 0:43:06.560 No, I get to play this out. So first, it's 0:43:06.560 --> 0:43:08.319 the old Kelsey theory. It is. 0:43:08.360 --> 0:43:11.279 It's the old Kelsey theory. Right, So you're gonna have 0:43:11.680 --> 0:43:13.920 black Bowers is going to be the number one ranked 0:43:14.320 --> 0:43:17.080 tight end for most people next year probably, right, So 0:43:17.080 --> 0:43:18.280 it'll be number one at his position. 0:43:18.360 --> 0:43:20.720 There might be some McBride truthers. 0:43:20.440 --> 0:43:23.399 But there might be he's got score more touchdowns. That's 0:43:23.719 --> 0:43:27.080 and Bowers, I think is just a freaky talent. Raiders 0:43:27.160 --> 0:43:30.239 some way, somehow are going to have better quarterbacking next year, 0:43:30.280 --> 0:43:32.600 I have to either through the draft or because they're 0:43:32.600 --> 0:43:36.600 going to land somebody like Sam Darnold, And between that combination, 0:43:36.960 --> 0:43:38.840 I think there's I think blck Bowers is going to 0:43:38.880 --> 0:43:40.160 go on average in the first round. 0:43:40.239 --> 0:43:41.080 Yeah, probably at. 0:43:41.000 --> 0:43:43.520 The end, but I think there's a case to be 0:43:43.560 --> 0:43:45.160 made Black Bowers one on one. 0:43:45.160 --> 0:43:45.560 What do you think? 0:43:45.760 --> 0:43:46.040 I mean? 0:43:46.080 --> 0:43:49.000 You know me, I take tight ends early all the time. 0:43:49.040 --> 0:43:51.560 I'd rather just have that and set it and it's done. 0:43:51.680 --> 0:43:54.120 But they're gonna throw the ball out with Shadir Sanders 0:43:54.160 --> 0:43:55.080 and coach Ryme. 0:43:55.160 --> 0:43:58.799 So they might. I mean, is there something to this 0:43:58.920 --> 0:43:59.680 or am I just trying? 0:43:59.760 --> 0:43:59.800 No? 0:44:00.000 --> 0:44:00.560 I think it'd be fun. 0:44:01.080 --> 0:44:02.560 Antonio pier is gonna get fired. 0:44:02.560 --> 0:44:04.279 You got to reach out to coach from Yeah, I 0:44:04.280 --> 0:44:06.200 think that you're gonna have access to his kid. 0:44:07.200 --> 0:44:09.319 Something you want to do to incentivise him to come. 0:44:09.360 --> 0:44:09.920 That would do it. 0:44:09.960 --> 0:44:12.680 That would do it, That would do it.

Scott, let's be with you. 0:45:52.600 --> 0:45:54.920 Yeah, I'm gonna go RB two on this week. This 0:45:55.000 --> 0:45:58.040 week they got the Raiders he still split with Hunt Somes, 0:45:58.280 --> 0:45:59.840 but did get some pass catch and work, had that 0:46:00.080 --> 0:46:04.520 nice thirty four yard run. But the rest of his schedule, 0:46:04.520 --> 0:46:06.160 and I know this has been talked about out there, 0:46:06.239 --> 0:46:08.920 that they have a one of the tougher run defensive 0:46:08.920 --> 0:46:13.000 schedules going forward. According to my numbers, four of their 0:46:13.360 --> 0:46:18.840 next four opponents after the Raiders fifth against fantasy running backs, sixth, seventh, 0:46:18.920 --> 0:46:21.879 and eleventh. It's a really tough run for him coming up. 0:46:22.600 --> 0:46:25.640 But he should like he got bell Coow work before 0:46:25.680 --> 0:46:28.520 he got hurt. Kareem Hunt got bellcow work after he 0:46:28.560 --> 0:46:30.719 got hurt. I expect him to go right back to that. 0:46:31.880 --> 0:46:33.840 He does get a little bit of pass you. I 0:46:33.840 --> 0:46:36.120 think RB two is well within the range even with 0:46:36.160 --> 0:46:36.880 a tough schedule. 0:46:36.960 --> 0:46:41.640 Okay, four, Isaiah Pacheco rest of season? Will he be 0:46:41.680 --> 0:46:44.080 in RB one, RB two flex or bench? 0:46:44.719 --> 0:46:48.080 I'm gonna say flex. The Chiefs were. 0:46:48.000 --> 0:46:50.919 Eight and one without him. Kareem Hunt leads the team 0:46:50.960 --> 0:46:53.839 in rushing. Hunt was asked if he could be entering 0:46:53.880 --> 0:46:56.279 a Platin situation like during his five seasons with the 0:46:56.280 --> 0:46:59.200 Browns with Nick Chobb, and Hunt said quote, it could 0:46:59.239 --> 0:47:01.799 be very similar. I'm excited, I'm used to working with 0:47:01.840 --> 0:47:03.480 other great backs, so I feel like it's gonna be 0:47:03.520 --> 0:47:06.280 another great one to two punch end quote. 0:47:06.840 --> 0:47:08.200 I'm gonna say flex interesting. 0:47:09.760 --> 0:47:14.239 Kareem Hunt was objectively bad with the Chiefs. How bad, 0:47:14.320 --> 0:47:16.759 you might ask? Among the thirty two runners with at 0:47:16.840 --> 0:47:21.120 least one hundred carries, here's where Hunt ranks. Broken tackle 0:47:21.200 --> 0:47:24.440 rate thirtieth out of thirty two, yards per carry thirtieth 0:47:24.480 --> 0:47:27.719 out of thirty two, yards after contact thirty one out 0:47:27.719 --> 0:47:31.279 of thirty two, and yards over expectation thirtieth out of 0:47:31.320 --> 0:47:35.040 thirty two for Kareem Hunt, and he still finished his 0:47:35.200 --> 0:47:42.080 RB thirteen. Boy, Despite all that, Pachecko is way better 0:47:42.160 --> 0:47:45.480 than Kareem Hunt at this stage of their careers. Last year, 0:47:46.000 --> 0:47:48.960 Pachecko was an RB one roughly running back twelve overall 0:47:49.000 --> 0:47:51.680 and half point PPR. Now, we only saw Pachecko for 0:47:51.800 --> 0:47:53.839 less than two full games at the start of the season. 0:47:53.920 --> 0:47:57.600 Was basically two full games Week one versus Baltimore, which 0:47:57.680 --> 0:47:59.200 turned out to be an elite run defense. He did 0:47:59.239 --> 0:48:01.080 score in that game, and then Week two against Cincinnati 0:48:01.120 --> 0:48:03.359 post one hundred and eleven total yuards. But Checko is good. 0:48:03.600 --> 0:48:05.480 Now the schedule is hard, but there are none of 0:48:05.480 --> 0:48:10.440 the big stoppers on the schedule like Minnesota, Baltimore, Kansas 0:48:10.440 --> 0:48:14.960 City that just locked down opposing running backs. So mostly 0:48:15.080 --> 0:48:16.920 it's neutral ish matchups. 0:48:17.040 --> 0:48:17.320 Left. 0:48:17.760 --> 0:48:20.040 If Hunt can be running back thirteen in this offense, 0:48:20.480 --> 0:48:23.319 the checko can be an RB one. 0:48:23.320 --> 0:48:24.960 Tough question number two. 0:48:25.400 --> 0:48:28.200 This question inspired by a question from the Fantasy Football 0:48:28.200 --> 0:48:32.600 Weekly Discord channel user epic thank you. What is the 0:48:32.640 --> 0:48:35.799 appropriate level of concern for Marvin Harrison? And I think 0:48:35.800 --> 0:48:38.279 we may have actually had this exact question after like 0:48:38.320 --> 0:48:41.160 week three. We're going back to it none, some or 0:48:41.200 --> 0:48:44.680 a bowl loosening level of existential dread. For this one, 0:48:44.719 --> 0:48:45.839 we begin with thorneistrum. 0:48:46.400 --> 0:48:47.279 I'm gonna say some. 0:48:47.840 --> 0:48:50.160 However, I did just pick him up in the Fantasy 0:48:50.200 --> 0:48:52.040 Life Full Timer Guillotine League. 0:48:52.800 --> 0:48:55.760 So the fact that he was available in a guillotine 0:48:55.840 --> 0:48:57.160 league right now tells. 0:48:56.880 --> 0:48:58.799 You a lot. Yeah, and I didn't have to bet 0:48:58.840 --> 0:49:00.279 on him. Was this straight? 0:49:01.200 --> 0:49:02.520 That's because he has assassinate. 0:49:02.600 --> 0:49:08.480 His consistency is exactly what you look for, exactly, ye sarcasm. 0:49:08.600 --> 0:49:10.759 He has been targeted six times or less each of 0:49:10.800 --> 0:49:13.759 the past three games seven points seven PPR points are 0:49:13.840 --> 0:49:16.200 less in two of those outings. Oh boy, not a 0:49:16.280 --> 0:49:19.080 great matchup against the Vikings on deck. But I still 0:49:19.160 --> 0:49:21.320 do expect him to make some noise down the Stretchy. 0:49:21.600 --> 0:49:23.840 He's been the all or nothing guy. He's gonna have 0:49:23.880 --> 0:49:26.320 a couple of all games. Yeah, down the stretcher. 0:49:26.400 --> 0:49:28.360 You just have to pick Ray. You have to choose correctly. 0:49:28.600 --> 0:49:31.000 I like that you went with we're gonna come to 0:49:31.040 --> 0:49:32.359 be at a second. But I like that you went 0:49:32.440 --> 0:49:34.719 with targeted seven times or less, and in mind, I 0:49:34.760 --> 0:49:37.200 say he's been targeted five times or more, so it's 0:49:37.239 --> 0:49:37.920 time to seven. 0:49:38.000 --> 0:49:41.800 Okay, all right, So same question, appropriate level of concern 0:49:41.880 --> 0:49:44.719 for Marvin Harrison. None. Some are a bowel loosening level 0:49:44.800 --> 0:49:45.799 of existential drive. 0:49:45.960 --> 0:49:46.120 Yeah. 0:49:46.160 --> 0:49:48.920 I don't loosen my bowels for for a guy, for 0:49:49.040 --> 0:49:51.239 a guy, you know, But for a guy that's just 0:49:51.360 --> 0:49:53.480 one game removed from a five for fifty four and 0:49:53.600 --> 0:49:55.840 one stat line, and just a couple of games removed 0:49:55.880 --> 0:49:58.200 from a six for one eleven and one stat line. 0:49:58.520 --> 0:50:01.120 He's what Amari Cooper was his career. He's what Lee 0:50:01.160 --> 0:50:03.719 Evans was in Buffalo. He's gonna have giant games and 0:50:03.760 --> 0:50:06.120 then he's gonna beat you know. He's gonna have giant 0:50:06.160 --> 0:50:08.279 games and he's gonna have games where he kind of 0:50:08.320 --> 0:50:11.080 disappears because he's the third option. It's James Connor and 0:50:11.160 --> 0:50:13.759 it's Trey McBride, and that the offense runs through those 0:50:13.840 --> 0:50:18.120 two avenues. The only reason you're really it blowed is 0:50:18.160 --> 0:50:20.839 if you're holding on to that first, second third round 0:50:20.960 --> 0:50:23.239 ADP that you drafted him, Matt and he's like, Oh, 0:50:23.280 --> 0:50:25.799 I'm freaking out because he's not that guy. But if 0:50:25.840 --> 0:50:28.200 you can settle in and accept that he's the third 0:50:28.280 --> 0:50:31.200 option on that offense and matchups like this week against 0:50:31.239 --> 0:50:33.360 Minnesota is where you play him and other ones are not, 0:50:33.880 --> 0:50:34.360 you're fine. 0:50:34.520 --> 0:50:38.000 So some Harrison has not figured out zone coverage is 0:50:38.080 --> 0:50:40.680 his problem. He doesn't get targeted as often in zone 0:50:40.760 --> 0:50:44.480 and in man coverage. He's targeted on thirty percent of 0:50:44.560 --> 0:50:48.920 Arizona's passes, but in zone only nineteen percent, and on 0:50:49.160 --> 0:50:53.440 throws into zone coverage. Get this, Marvin Harrison catching forty 0:50:53.560 --> 0:50:58.640 eight percent of his passes in zone. Yards per route 0:50:58.800 --> 0:51:02.520 run plunges to one point seven for Marvin Harrison in 0:51:02.680 --> 0:51:05.360 zone coverage. It makes sense that Harrison, who's a physical 0:51:05.440 --> 0:51:08.120 mismatch for most cornerbacks, would be more dominant man coverage, 0:51:08.280 --> 0:51:10.560 and he is but defenses won't play him that way. 0:51:11.520 --> 0:51:15.400 Even highly drafted wideouts can be excused for not being 0:51:15.440 --> 0:51:17.560 Randy Moss when they start their career. You know, they 0:51:17.600 --> 0:51:19.759 don't all come out like you know, Gangbusters in week one. 0:51:19.800 --> 0:51:21.200 We'll give you a pass that ye're not a Hall 0:51:21.239 --> 0:51:21.600 of Famer, but. 0:51:21.800 --> 0:51:25.040 Exactly not yet. There are still some favorable matchups out 0:51:25.040 --> 0:51:28.240 there on the schedule for Marvin Harrison. I think Minnesota 0:51:28.239 --> 0:51:31.160 gave him a B grade this week Seattle Rams. He's 0:51:31.160 --> 0:51:34.840 got some neutral matchups with the Hopland in Carolina. I overall, 0:51:35.160 --> 0:51:38.680 I think I have concerned. I thought Marvin Harris, we 0:51:38.719 --> 0:51:40.480 all did. We all thought Marvin Harrison be way better. 0:51:40.680 --> 0:51:45.120 His one his ADP was the beginning of the second round, YEP, 0:51:45.440 --> 0:51:47.520 which is I don't I think there's this will take 0:51:47.560 --> 0:51:49.560 some of the sheen off of future rookie wide receivers. 0:51:49.600 --> 0:51:51.000 I think from a fantasy stamp fit. 0:51:51.120 --> 0:51:52.400 Neighbors will add it right back on. 0:51:53.160 --> 0:51:55.799 Yeah, second year, but future rookies, I think we might 0:51:55.840 --> 0:51:58.239 be like, maybe I need to see it first. Yeah, 0:51:58.360 --> 0:52:00.320 we'll see uh. Correct answer. 0:52:00.520 --> 0:52:04.360 So tough question number three over the past. 0:52:04.200 --> 0:52:07.920 Five weeks Jackson Smith and Jigba is the sixth highest 0:52:07.960 --> 0:52:11.719 scoring wideout for the rest of the year. Will he 0:52:11.840 --> 0:52:15.080 be a wide receiver one, meaning top twelve wide receiver. 0:52:15.280 --> 0:52:17.080 We go back to Scott Fish first for this one. 0:52:17.600 --> 0:52:19.799 Yeah, I mean he's wide receiver nine on the season 0:52:19.880 --> 0:52:22.040 right now we're talking about going forward. He's got a 0:52:22.120 --> 0:52:24.560 couple of good, if not great matchups and a couple 0:52:24.600 --> 0:52:27.480 of rougher ones. The offense is passing at an insane 0:52:27.600 --> 0:52:31.040 rate over the last month. It's ticked down a little 0:52:31.080 --> 0:52:33.799 bit there the amount of passing, and he's still had 0:52:33.840 --> 0:52:37.880 this amount of volume. Both both Lockett and Metcalf have 0:52:37.960 --> 0:52:41.320 been dealing with injuries. Four of the final five Fantasy 0:52:41.360 --> 0:52:44.359 weeks are against bottom half teams defending the slot, which 0:52:44.440 --> 0:52:45.480 is where he plays. 0:52:45.760 --> 0:52:45.960 Yeah. 0:52:46.160 --> 0:52:47.680 I'm gonna go with yeah. I think he's going to 0:52:47.800 --> 0:52:49.440 keep it up and stay it within that twelve. 0:52:49.719 --> 0:52:52.239 Okay, all right, so you're a yes. That will remain 0:52:52.480 --> 0:52:55.120 Jackson Smith and Jigbo remain a wide receiver one. How 0:52:55.160 --> 0:52:55.640 about you thor? 0:52:55.840 --> 0:52:57.800 Yeah, I hope Seattle's trainer is able to get that 0:52:57.920 --> 0:52:59.160 FOURK out of Lockets back. 0:53:03.040 --> 0:53:04.000 I would say more. 0:53:03.920 --> 0:53:06.560 Of a good wide receiver two as opposed to wide 0:53:06.560 --> 0:53:09.320 receiver one. I'm very close, but I like top fifteen 0:53:09.840 --> 0:53:11.680 guy the rest of the season, not top twelve. 0:53:11.920 --> 0:53:12.520 We're pretty close. 0:53:12.520 --> 0:53:14.080 It's almost like charts try to make it hard. 0:53:14.360 --> 0:53:18.160 Yeah, well, yeah, Seattle's throwing even Yeah, they're throwing thirty 0:53:18.200 --> 0:53:20.480 plus times a game. All the usage at this point 0:53:20.560 --> 0:53:24.000 is either going to DK or JSN. Lockett's done. The 0:53:24.120 --> 0:53:27.440 volume is propping up JSN. But I expect that to continue. 0:53:27.520 --> 0:53:28.360 Why Why wouldn't it? 0:53:28.640 --> 0:53:31.040 Why wouldn't it? Well, let's talk it through for a second. 0:53:31.800 --> 0:53:34.120 JSN runs largely from the slot, is Scott alluded to? 0:53:34.880 --> 0:53:37.520 You know, some defenses are more vulnerable to the slot 0:53:37.600 --> 0:53:39.839 than others, and this, as we know from breaking down 0:53:39.880 --> 0:53:42.239 all these games, this is one of the more predictable 0:53:42.320 --> 0:53:44.680 things that we get because we know who the slot 0:53:44.760 --> 0:53:47.880 cornerbacks are and more often than not, regardless of the 0:53:48.000 --> 0:53:50.680 other kinds of coverages and schemes, we know that slot 0:53:50.760 --> 0:53:53.600 receiver is going to be on the slot cornerback. Sometimes 0:53:54.280 --> 0:53:58.120 those are brutal matchups this week against Michael Carter. Brutal 0:53:58.160 --> 0:54:00.799 matchup Carter Michael Carter. We talk about Sauce Gardner DJ 0:54:00.880 --> 0:54:03.600 read all the time. Michael Carter is giving up per 0:54:03.719 --> 0:54:08.400 game averages of one catch for fourteen yards. That's insane, 0:54:08.520 --> 0:54:10.880 and he hasn't given up a touchdown all year. This 0:54:11.080 --> 0:54:13.400 is a brutal matchup this week, but they're not all 0:54:13.480 --> 0:54:17.239 that way last year. The big change for JSN that 0:54:17.320 --> 0:54:21.239 I love for this year and especially lately, his a 0:54:21.440 --> 0:54:23.640 dot has expanded. Yes, and somebody one of the two 0:54:23.680 --> 0:54:25.600 of you, I think, alluded to this on a previous show. 0:54:26.400 --> 0:54:29.000 It's his last year's eight out with six yards. You 0:54:29.200 --> 0:54:31.839 can't pile up fantasy points on six yards a catch. 0:54:31.960 --> 0:54:34.799 This year it's ten yards, and over the last six 0:54:34.920 --> 0:54:38.480 games it's eleven yards for Jackson Smith and Jigbaw. That's 0:54:38.920 --> 0:54:42.080 that is the kind of production that will give you 0:54:42.280 --> 0:54:47.239 bigger plays on deeper receptions. I was tempted to go 0:54:47.440 --> 0:54:49.640 yes on this, but I don't think there's enough goods, 0:54:49.719 --> 0:54:52.000 easy slot matchups left on the schedule. 0:54:57.120 --> 0:54:59.520 No, Okay, it's close. 0:55:00.680 --> 0:55:02.680 I had yes, originally, I tucked myself out of it. 0:55:03.760 --> 0:55:06.040 Let's move on to our matchups. Next up thor are 0:55:06.040 --> 0:55:10.680 you ready? Houston taking on Jacksonville. Joe Mixon coming off 0:55:10.760 --> 0:55:14.160 the rare dud game. Now he gets the Jaguars. Now 0:55:14.200 --> 0:55:16.840 the Jaguars pass defense is horrible. Their run defense is 0:55:16.880 --> 0:55:19.200 a little better. What do you see for Joe Mixon 0:55:19.239 --> 0:55:20.839 here as in an automatic bounce back. 0:55:20.760 --> 0:55:22.359 Spot automatic bounce back spot. 0:55:22.480 --> 0:55:25.200 Yeah, he's an A and a must start and very 0:55:25.239 --> 0:55:28.680 good matchup for mixing here. I think Nico Collins also 0:55:28.920 --> 0:55:30.399 is going to get the A and the muss start. 0:55:31.080 --> 0:55:31.319 CJ. 0:55:31.480 --> 0:55:33.759 Sherrows might take a chance on me quarterback Tank Dell 0:55:33.920 --> 0:55:36.279 gonna give him a B seven plus targets and ten 0:55:36.280 --> 0:55:38.560 plus fantasy points at three of the past four games. 0:55:38.880 --> 0:55:41.560 Dell does better when Nico Collins is on the field, 0:55:41.640 --> 0:55:44.359 for sure. He averages more than double the fantasy points 0:55:44.400 --> 0:55:46.360 per game win cons is on the field as opposed 0:55:46.360 --> 0:55:49.080 to off of it. The Jaguars defense gives up the 0:55:49.200 --> 0:55:52.240 third most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers. 0:55:52.560 --> 0:55:54.480 So a B on Dell gonna give a seed to 0:55:54.600 --> 0:55:57.239 Dalton Schultz tight end twenty five and fantasy points per 0:55:57.320 --> 0:56:00.440 game only one tight end one game this season that 0:56:00.560 --> 0:56:03.279 Jaguars have allowed the eleventh most receiving yards per game 0:56:03.360 --> 0:56:06.120 two opposing tight ends and the fifth most fantasy points 0:56:06.160 --> 0:56:08.759 per game to tight ends. Going over to the Jaguars side, 0:56:08.840 --> 0:56:10.640 looks like we're going to get Trevor Lawrence back for 0:56:10.719 --> 0:56:13.960 this game. Doug Peterson said Lawrence expected to play after 0:56:14.000 --> 0:56:16.080 he had missed the two games with the left shoulder injury. 0:56:16.400 --> 0:56:19.000 It's not guaranteed though, as he said here, Lawrence said 0:56:19.040 --> 0:56:21.320 surgery is still a possibility. Yeah, for that's brand a 0:56:21.440 --> 0:56:24.600 seed joint. So we'll see if he does start. I'm 0:56:24.640 --> 0:56:27.520 going to give Lawrence a see Lawrence has scored at 0:56:27.640 --> 0:56:30.120 least nineteen point six fantasy points in four of the 0:56:30.200 --> 0:56:32.799 five games prior to the injury. Also going to give 0:56:32.800 --> 0:56:36.040 a seed to Travis etn Tank Bigsby, with his ankle injury, 0:56:36.080 --> 0:56:38.160 appears on track to play this week. 0:56:38.320 --> 0:56:41.040 I think he's off the injury port altogether. Okay, you 0:56:41.080 --> 0:56:43.200 know how you know how I feel about. 0:56:44.640 --> 0:56:45.400 Rolling the tanks. 0:56:45.560 --> 0:56:48.840 Uh huh, So, okay, we'll be just pause for a seconds. 0:56:48.880 --> 0:56:51.600 We do have a little extra time. Yeah, it's a 0:56:51.680 --> 0:56:54.120 lost season for the Jaguars. Yeah, you know what Travis 0:56:54.160 --> 0:56:56.680 etn Is can give you. I think it's been clearly 0:56:56.760 --> 0:56:59.360 spelled out over the last several years. Can we just 0:56:59.480 --> 0:57:02.120 give Tank Bigsby twenty carries in a few of these games? 0:57:02.160 --> 0:57:04.960 We've been begging for it? Yes, Yeah, Doug just won't 0:57:05.000 --> 0:57:06.440 do it. But yeah, please dug down. 0:57:06.320 --> 0:57:09.040 This track, if only for self preservation, Doug like to 0:57:09.160 --> 0:57:11.880 find some to make it look like you're unearthing, you know, 0:57:12.520 --> 0:57:16.080 new ways to establish this offense and find new ways 0:57:16.120 --> 0:57:19.480 to go win some games. Why not try your clearly better. 0:57:19.360 --> 0:57:22.280 Backs something yeah, something, but yeah. 0:57:22.320 --> 0:57:25.160 The usage being hard to parse is why I give 0:57:25.240 --> 0:57:29.880 ETN the seed despite ETN six point three points PPR 0:57:29.920 --> 0:57:32.400 points or last three games in a row hasn't cleared 0:57:32.480 --> 0:57:35.160 either thirteen carries or fourteen point eight fantasy points in 0:57:35.200 --> 0:57:37.680 a game. All season long, the Texans have allowed the 0:57:37.720 --> 0:57:40.440 fifth few as fantasy points to opposing running backs, and 0:57:40.560 --> 0:57:43.120 that's one of the reasons why just this week, I'm 0:57:43.200 --> 0:57:44.600 hoping the same thing as you charge. 0:57:44.920 --> 0:57:47.000 I'm hoping that that Bigsby gets more usage. 0:57:47.360 --> 0:57:49.240 I'm keeping them on the bench in this one though, 0:57:50.040 --> 0:57:52.560 in that first game back ce how the usage shakes out. 0:57:52.960 --> 0:57:55.720 Texans are tenth overall in the league in run defense 0:57:55.760 --> 0:57:58.320 as well, and this could be a very bad game 0:57:58.360 --> 0:57:59.040 script as well. 0:58:00.040 --> 0:58:00.560 That is true. 0:58:00.680 --> 0:58:04.360 Moving over to the receiving weapons, there Brian Thomas Junior 0:58:04.440 --> 0:58:06.840 going to give him a B wide receiver twenty eight 0:58:06.920 --> 0:58:08.640 in fantasy and it would be huge for him if 0:58:08.680 --> 0:58:11.920 Trevor Lawrence comes back. He scored at least fifteen PPR 0:58:12.040 --> 0:58:14.600 points in two of the past three games. Win Lawrence 0:58:14.640 --> 0:58:17.600 started and finished a game gave Davis and Christian Kirk 0:58:17.680 --> 0:58:20.240 both out. Of course, Houston has allowed the eighth most 0:58:20.280 --> 0:58:22.520 fantasy points per game to opposing receivers and there should 0:58:22.520 --> 0:58:24.880 be plenty of targets there for Brian Thomas and then 0:58:25.000 --> 0:58:27.600 lastly Evan Ingram going to give him an a. Ingram 0:58:27.920 --> 0:58:30.000 has at least seven targets three games in a row. 0:58:30.400 --> 0:58:33.560 In weeks one to nine with Lawrence under center, Ingram 0:58:33.680 --> 0:58:35.960 was the tight end eight in fantasy points per game. 0:58:36.360 --> 0:58:38.760 This could be a sneaky matchup, sneaky good matchup for 0:58:38.840 --> 0:58:43.240 him as well. Texans are the fourth fewest fantasy points 0:58:43.400 --> 0:58:47.280 allowed to opposing tight ends. However, Sam Laporta, Luke Schoonmaker, 0:58:47.360 --> 0:58:51.160 and Chickakonquo all scored at least eleven point six PPR 0:58:51.240 --> 0:58:53.160 points the last three games against the Texans. 0:58:53.200 --> 0:58:55.640 All right, well done, my man. When we come back 0:58:56.200 --> 0:58:59.840 Rams taking on the Saints, Scott, it feels like green 0:59:00.160 --> 0:59:02.680 light for the past catchers for the Rams. Yeah, it 0:59:02.720 --> 0:59:06.040 really does Marshawn Lattimore less New Orleans Saints and. 0:59:06.120 --> 0:59:07.320 Paulson the Davo less. 0:59:07.760 --> 0:59:10.160 Yeah, and Paul has been out still. 0:59:10.280 --> 0:59:11.000 Both of them have that. 0:59:12.720 --> 0:59:14.520 It could be a track meet here for the Rams. 0:59:14.600 --> 0:59:17.240 We'll find out from Scott Fish when we come back 0:59:17.320 --> 0:59:38.960 to Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. A 0:59:39.080 --> 0:59:43.040 block of matchups for you, beginning with the Los Angeles 0:59:43.160 --> 0:59:46.800 Rams at the New Orleans Saints. Scott, it just feels 0:59:46.880 --> 0:59:49.640 like it's all it's green light all the Rams right here. 0:59:49.720 --> 0:59:52.080 I almost just want to say automatic a's for Stafford, 0:59:52.120 --> 0:59:55.479 Cup and Nikoua in this one. Honestly, it's it's so close. 0:59:55.560 --> 0:59:57.880 The Saints d has allowed the fourth most passing yards 0:59:57.880 --> 1:00:00.200 and just gave up back to back three hundred plus 1:00:00.320 --> 1:00:04.160 yards days James Winston at three ninety five last week. 1:00:04.200 --> 1:00:06.560 It's it's just a really good spot. Since losing a 1:00:06.680 --> 1:00:10.400 Debo and Lattimore, five of the seven qbs they have 1:00:10.520 --> 1:00:12.760 faced top three hundred total yards. 1:00:12.920 --> 1:00:13.200 Wow. 1:00:13.400 --> 1:00:17.720 Like, yeah, so it's five of the seven since losing 1:00:17.800 --> 1:00:20.240 a day, both three of three of the four since 1:00:20.320 --> 1:00:23.080 Latimore left. Yeah, so just a lot of yards to 1:00:23.160 --> 1:00:23.480 be had. 1:00:24.080 --> 1:00:24.200 Cup. 1:00:24.360 --> 1:00:26.720 The Saints allowed the fourth most Fantasy points per game 1:00:26.760 --> 1:00:32.040 to the slot UH for for Nikua, He's had more 1:00:32.080 --> 1:00:35.760 catches more yards than than Cup in four last five 1:00:35.800 --> 1:00:38.560 games since returning UH. The only game he did was 1:00:38.600 --> 1:00:40.320 the game that he came out of and only played 1:00:40.360 --> 1:00:43.320 thirty five percent of the snaps. Both both A grades. 1:00:43.360 --> 1:00:46.280 They are just just great spots for them. DeMarcus Robinson 1:00:46.440 --> 1:00:48.720 only has five receptions for fifty seven yards of the 1:00:48.760 --> 1:00:51.880 final over the last three games. You're you're caught up. 1:00:51.920 --> 1:00:53.640 You might be caught up on the scores that would 1:00:53.840 --> 1:00:56.640 seem much more random, the Puka sitting game and the 1:00:56.720 --> 1:01:00.440 three target game where he scored two against the Vikings. 1:01:00.920 --> 1:01:03.760 Karen Williams A grade leads the NFL in touches and 1:01:04.000 --> 1:01:07.120 scores from inside the five. Well, he's tied with Derrick 1:01:07.160 --> 1:01:09.919 Henry on both, but he does lead. He does lead, 1:01:10.040 --> 1:01:11.120 died with Derrick Henry. 1:01:11.920 --> 1:01:14.400 It's good to be tied with Derrick Henry in any Yeah. 1:01:15.240 --> 1:01:17.000 Yeah, No other back for the Rams, by the way, 1:01:17.080 --> 1:01:19.320 has more than thirteen snaps in any game this season. 1:01:19.360 --> 1:01:22.960 It's all Kyaren Willis. It's all Karen Williams work. Second 1:01:23.040 --> 1:01:26.280 most red zone touches. He hasn't seen a target in 1:01:26.360 --> 1:01:28.040 each of the last two games, but prior to that, 1:01:28.160 --> 1:01:30.800 he had eleven catches in three games. That's part of 1:01:30.840 --> 1:01:33.400 his game, and that's where you attack. The Saints their 1:01:33.440 --> 1:01:35.920 top twelve in a bunch of category or bottom twelve 1:01:36.120 --> 1:01:40.800 in a bunch of categories against pass catching backs. And 1:01:40.880 --> 1:01:43.120 they also allowed the ninth most rush yards and fourth 1:01:43.280 --> 1:01:46.120 most rushing scores. Like it's just a good spot for 1:01:46.200 --> 1:01:47.120 Karen Williams as well. 1:01:47.320 --> 1:01:47.520 Yeah. 1:01:47.800 --> 1:01:50.360 Yeah, So over on the other side, Derek carm giving 1:01:50.400 --> 1:01:52.280 a C grade two. He's averaging about two hundred and 1:01:52.280 --> 1:01:54.840 fifty yards in the three games since returning. He's got 1:01:54.920 --> 1:01:56.880 five scores in those three games, and the Rams have 1:01:56.960 --> 1:01:59.720 allowed multiple scores in about half their games. I think 1:01:59.760 --> 1:02:02.040 this might be like just a shootout, a race to 1:02:02.120 --> 1:02:03.840 keep up with the Rams at this point. So I 1:02:03.920 --> 1:02:06.760 got a C grade on Derek Carr. I had to 1:02:06.840 --> 1:02:10.000 take a chance on me with Marcuz, Valkez, feud Az Scandaling, 1:02:10.040 --> 1:02:11.560 I think he gets a couple of big plays in 1:02:11.640 --> 1:02:14.120 here and Taysom Hill at this point. You just got 1:02:14.240 --> 1:02:17.360 to start him, you do, right, Yeah? In Darren, Yeah, 1:02:17.440 --> 1:02:20.480 in Darren Rizzy's offense, he's his route participation in the 1:02:20.520 --> 1:02:22.840 last two games are sixty percent and sixty three percent. 1:02:23.360 --> 1:02:25.560 Then you tack on a bunch of a bunch of 1:02:25.800 --> 1:02:29.920 rushing and pass. Yeah, he's not a true tight end, 1:02:30.280 --> 1:02:33.320 but he's been the top pass catch, the top pass catcher, 1:02:33.320 --> 1:02:35.440 has scored in four straight against the Rams, and he's 1:02:35.520 --> 1:02:38.640 really their top pass catcher at this point. Yeah, So 1:02:38.920 --> 1:02:41.200 a B grade on Taysom Hill and an A grade 1:02:41.280 --> 1:02:44.720 on Alvin Kamara, who's averaging twenty one touches for plus 1:02:44.800 --> 1:02:47.280 of those being catches, really just puts him in a 1:02:47.600 --> 1:02:49.960 category right there. But the Rams are also allowing the 1:02:50.080 --> 1:02:53.000 sixth most Comboy yards to backs and sagu and Barkley 1:02:53.040 --> 1:02:55.880 had a kind of good game last week against. 1:02:55.600 --> 1:02:59.720 The Okay he did alright, Yeah, a great opportunity. Yeah, 1:03:00.360 --> 1:03:03.600 Tennessee takes on Washington, and I'm gonna start with Tony Pollard, 1:03:03.640 --> 1:03:08.800 who has been much more Fantasy reliable when he doesn't 1:03:09.000 --> 1:03:11.320 split reps with Taj Spears and Spears has missed a 1:03:11.360 --> 1:03:11.840 lot of games. 1:03:11.960 --> 1:03:13.320 Yeah, but unfortunately Spears. 1:03:14.640 --> 1:03:19.000 Right, So with Spears, with Spears, he averages just fifty 1:03:19.120 --> 1:03:23.200 seven rushing yards without Spears one hundred and one. It's 1:03:23.240 --> 1:03:27.520 a huge delta. Now, some good news for Pollard and 1:03:27.560 --> 1:03:30.480 why he's still a C grade. Washington is a tepid 1:03:30.560 --> 1:03:34.160 run defense, ranking twenty eighth in run defense success rate, 1:03:34.440 --> 1:03:38.400 twenty eighth in run defense EPA, and twenty sixth in 1:03:38.600 --> 1:03:41.880 yards per carry. So Tony Pollard comes into the sea grade. 1:03:42.040 --> 1:03:44.360 We're not starting spears himself because he just never gets 1:03:44.440 --> 1:03:47.320 enough volume. He gets just enough volume to be an 1:03:47.320 --> 1:03:51.160 impediment to Pollard, but not enough volume to actually make 1:03:51.240 --> 1:03:56.080 himself fantasy viable. Will Levis was might take a chance 1:03:56.120 --> 1:03:57.919 on me quarterback. You heard that earlier in the show. 1:03:58.120 --> 1:04:03.360 Let's talk Calvin Ridley Thorne Eistrom, because five weeks ago 1:04:04.200 --> 1:04:07.920 you picked up that Ridley's route assignments had changed for 1:04:08.000 --> 1:04:09.919 the better, and you called it out on this show, 1:04:10.200 --> 1:04:13.200 and that his productivity was going way, way up. And 1:04:13.280 --> 1:04:18.440 here's what he's averaged since week eight six catches ninety 1:04:18.600 --> 1:04:23.280 yards and half a touchdown per game. Weeks one through seven, 1:04:23.400 --> 1:04:28.040 he was wide receiver sixty four, and now he's since 1:04:28.080 --> 1:04:30.640 week since week eight and forward, he's wide receiver eight. 1:04:30.960 --> 1:04:33.760 Calvin Ridley tip of the hat thorn icetrom. You picked 1:04:33.840 --> 1:04:36.640 up on that early, nicely done. Washington has been a 1:04:37.000 --> 1:04:40.240 very good defense against wide outs, thanks in part to 1:04:40.320 --> 1:04:43.680 hitting on cornerback Mike Sandrasil in the draft. But Ben 1:04:43.760 --> 1:04:48.080 Saint Juice and Noah ig Binagway that might have got 1:04:48.120 --> 1:04:51.560 that right. Are we liabilities? They rank his Pro Football 1:04:51.600 --> 1:04:54.240 focuses ninety ninth and one hundred and fourth ranked cornerback. 1:04:54.720 --> 1:04:57.200 Let's keep an eye on Marshall Latimer. Remember they made 1:04:57.240 --> 1:04:59.680 that trade at the deadline. Adamore may come back for 1:04:59.760 --> 1:05:02.120 this game, and that would change things a little bit. 1:05:02.200 --> 1:05:03.920 I've got to be great on Calvin Ridley and this 1:05:04.440 --> 1:05:06.960 on the new look schemes that they're using him in. 1:05:07.800 --> 1:05:10.960 What do you do with Nick westbrookikine? Guys, have you 1:05:11.000 --> 1:05:11.640 seen anything like? 1:05:11.760 --> 1:05:14.760 He's scored five straight, He's scored in six last. 1:05:14.600 --> 1:05:18.000 Seven games, and he came back. He came he missed 1:05:18.000 --> 1:05:20.280 the first five weeks of the season with injury, comes 1:05:20.320 --> 1:05:22.320 back a week six and he's scored in every game. 1:05:22.360 --> 1:05:24.200 But one sense then, and get this, he's doing it 1:05:24.320 --> 1:05:29.160 on two catches per game. That's almost statistically impossible to 1:05:29.240 --> 1:05:31.720 score in six of seven on two catches per game. 1:05:32.480 --> 1:05:33.040 Insane. 1:05:33.720 --> 1:05:36.280 I hate these like all or nothing, low volume players, 1:05:36.760 --> 1:05:39.720 But the commanders have allowed the seventh most air yards 1:05:39.760 --> 1:05:42.760 per completion, So maybe another deep catches in the cards. 1:05:42.800 --> 1:05:44.960 But I'm putting a bench grade on a KNA because 1:05:45.000 --> 1:05:46.760 I don't believe this is sustainable. 1:05:47.720 --> 1:05:50.200 It is a bye week with six teams. 1:05:49.960 --> 1:05:52.480 On buy not this week, that's next week. 1:05:52.560 --> 1:05:54.280 Oh no, that's right, next next week. 1:05:54.280 --> 1:05:58.320 Oh yeah, yeah, I saw. I think I'm keeping I'm 1:05:58.360 --> 1:05:59.920 not starting a KNA. But if you like you need 1:06:00.120 --> 1:06:02.680 crazy dart throw, go ahead, let's go to Washington side 1:06:02.680 --> 1:06:06.880 of this matchup. I like Terry McLaurin. As I mentioned 1:06:06.960 --> 1:06:10.120 last week. He's the most lopsided receiver in the league, 1:06:10.320 --> 1:06:14.080 meaning he runs seventy eight percent of his routes from 1:06:14.160 --> 1:06:16.200 one side of the field, the left side of the field, 1:06:16.480 --> 1:06:18.560 So that really tells us who he's going to be 1:06:18.640 --> 1:06:21.480 matched up against. And with Lugarius Sneaed and I Are, 1:06:21.840 --> 1:06:27.360 that puts McLaurin against rookie cornerback Jarvis Brownlee. He's Pro 1:06:27.480 --> 1:06:32.320 Football focuses eighty first ranked coverage cornerback. Last week, Nico 1:06:32.440 --> 1:06:36.760 Collins hit Brownway Brownlee for seventy two yards, and he 1:06:36.840 --> 1:06:39.240 allowed a touchdown in his coverage to a different player. 1:06:39.760 --> 1:06:41.320 So Terry McLaurin. 1:06:41.320 --> 1:06:43.560 Seventy eight percent from the left. 1:06:44.080 --> 1:06:46.520 Yes, since seventy eight percent from one side of the field. 1:06:46.600 --> 1:06:49.479 He's like the anti Zoolander who can't go left. 1:06:49.680 --> 1:06:51.760 He can't go left, I like can't go right. The 1:06:51.840 --> 1:06:54.520 closest thing to this was aj Green in the final 1:06:54.560 --> 1:06:58.480 couple of his years in Arizona, would run like ninety 1:06:58.640 --> 1:07:01.000 seven percent of his place the right side of the field. 1:07:01.480 --> 1:07:02.520 So yeah, that's just wild. 1:07:02.800 --> 1:07:03.280 That's crazy. 1:07:03.400 --> 1:07:07.880 It is kind of crazy A grade Terry McLaurin. Zach 1:07:08.000 --> 1:07:10.919 Ertz comes into the C grade now boring consistent option 1:07:11.000 --> 1:07:13.160 who rarely hurts your team and should be reliable. Here, 1:07:13.280 --> 1:07:16.040 the Titans have allowed touchdowns and or sixty receiving yards 1:07:16.080 --> 1:07:19.680 the tight ends in four straight games, and Ertz enters 1:07:19.880 --> 1:07:23.160 the game with touchdowns and back to back games and 1:07:23.480 --> 1:07:25.520 anybody else in the passing game, No, let's go to 1:07:25.600 --> 1:07:28.640 Jade and Daniels. Daniels struggled in weeks ten and eleven 1:07:28.800 --> 1:07:31.680 against good teams, and then last week it looked dicey 1:07:31.760 --> 1:07:34.200 for a long time against Dallas, but then in the 1:07:34.320 --> 1:07:36.680 final third of the game he scored three touchdowns and 1:07:36.720 --> 1:07:38.959 he turned out that Jade and Daniels had a pretty 1:07:39.000 --> 1:07:42.040 good game. I think he's a pretty safe start here. 1:07:42.480 --> 1:07:45.040 The Titans secondary was very good in the first half 1:07:45.080 --> 1:07:48.080 of the season, but then Sam Darnold c J Stroud 1:07:48.160 --> 1:07:51.320 through multiple touchdowns the past two weeks against Tennessee. But 1:07:51.440 --> 1:07:57.080 I'm most excited about Jade and Daniels rushing upside. Malik Willis, 1:07:57.440 --> 1:08:01.920 Tyler Huntley, Justin Herbert, Rake May and Sam Darnold have 1:08:02.080 --> 1:08:07.320 scored and or rushed for ninety five yards against Tennessee. 1:08:08.000 --> 1:08:11.960 B grade for Jaden Daniels Brian Robinson, it looks like 1:08:12.000 --> 1:08:15.600 he's gonna play through his ankle injury. But Robinson is battered, 1:08:15.640 --> 1:08:18.080 and this is a brutal matchup. Only one opposing runners 1:08:18.160 --> 1:08:20.639 top sixty two yards, and that was Jamier Gibbs, who 1:08:20.680 --> 1:08:23.439 was just a specimen. Here's the last few runners to 1:08:23.479 --> 1:08:28.360 face Tennessee. Joe Mixon last week twenty two yards, Aaron 1:08:28.479 --> 1:08:32.280 Jones before that thirty nine yards, JK Dobbins before that 1:08:32.520 --> 1:08:36.760 fifty yards, and Ramondre Stevenson before that sixteen yards. That's 1:08:36.880 --> 1:08:40.840 nothing to good runners. I've got Brian Robinson on the 1:08:41.160 --> 1:08:45.479 bench in this game. Austin Ecklin not expected to play 1:08:45.800 --> 1:08:47.559 in this game. We should probably mention that as well. 1:08:47.640 --> 1:08:51.519 Let's try to work on one matchup, Scott. No, wait, 1:08:51.600 --> 1:08:55.680 I'm on Thorp Cleveland and Denver Thorpe. Let's start in 1:08:56.000 --> 1:08:59.080 the Cleveland side of this. Nick Chubb had two touch 1:08:59.120 --> 1:09:02.840 to rushing touchdown in that bad weather game, but this 1:09:03.080 --> 1:09:05.839 is a tougher matchup where the elements will not necessarily 1:09:05.920 --> 1:09:07.000 work the same way for him. 1:09:07.360 --> 1:09:09.760 Yeah, that's right, and the odds are that he won't 1:09:09.760 --> 1:09:12.320 find the end zone again this week. The Broncos have 1:09:12.360 --> 1:09:14.920 a lot only two rushing touchdowns since Week six and 1:09:15.040 --> 1:09:19.240 only five all season, and Chubbi chorus averaging three point 1:09:19.400 --> 1:09:21.920 zero yards per carras and not very good. 1:09:22.120 --> 1:09:24.280 He did not come back returning to form. 1:09:24.479 --> 1:09:27.679 No, I will give him a seed, and I'm gonna 1:09:27.720 --> 1:09:30.840 give Jerome Ford a see as well, because I like 1:09:31.280 --> 1:09:34.519 the opportunity for the pass game work in this matchup. Oh, 1:09:34.680 --> 1:09:37.840 for Ford, the Broncos are terrible at defending running backs. 1:09:37.880 --> 1:09:40.280 In the past game, opposing running backs have scored seven 1:09:40.360 --> 1:09:44.080 PPR points against the Broncos with just their receiving totals. 1:09:45.600 --> 1:09:47.719 And then Ford caught four or four targets for twenty 1:09:47.840 --> 1:09:51.200 nine yards in Week eleven at New Orleans so for 1:09:51.439 --> 1:09:53.960 especially for PPR players, but I'm gonna drop a sea 1:09:54.000 --> 1:09:54.280 on him. 1:09:54.520 --> 1:09:55.840 Jamis Winston bench. 1:09:56.600 --> 1:09:59.000 Winston has scored thirty plus fantasy points in two good 1:09:59.080 --> 1:10:02.679 matchups this season and thirteen point five points or less 1:10:02.840 --> 1:10:05.599 in the two bad matchups. That was against Steelers and Chargers. 1:10:06.240 --> 1:10:08.639 This would account for a bad matchup here. The Broncos 1:10:08.680 --> 1:10:11.680 have allowed the fifth fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. 1:10:12.439 --> 1:10:14.920 And then on the receiver side, Jerry Judy, I'm gonna 1:10:14.920 --> 1:10:17.280 give him a b. In four games with Winston, Judy 1:10:17.360 --> 1:10:20.080 has scored at least twelve point nine PPR points each game, 1:10:20.439 --> 1:10:22.719 dur at least six targets in each of those games. 1:10:23.080 --> 1:10:25.040 And this, of course is the revenge game for Jerry 1:10:25.080 --> 1:10:28.439 Judy against the Broncos. He could see a decent amount 1:10:28.439 --> 1:10:31.400 of Patrick Sirtan here. And Certan is the guy who 1:10:31.439 --> 1:10:33.679 is allowed one hundred and eighty two yards in coverage, 1:10:33.960 --> 1:10:37.080 the second fewest among cornerbacks with two hundred plus coverage save. 1:10:36.960 --> 1:10:40.200 Again, because that's insane. And we're headingto week thirteen and 1:10:40.280 --> 1:10:40.880 Sertan is. 1:10:40.840 --> 1:10:45.000 Allowed one hundred and eighty two yards in coverage. Crazy crazy, Yeah, 1:10:45.120 --> 1:10:45.360 he is. 1:10:45.560 --> 1:10:48.680 He is a lockdown but with Cedric Tillman possibly out 1:10:48.720 --> 1:10:51.639 in this game still in concussion protocol, Jerry Judy would 1:10:51.680 --> 1:10:53.320 seem to be getting a lot of targets in this game. 1:10:53.320 --> 1:10:54.439 So that's why I had to give him a bee 1:10:55.280 --> 1:10:58.599 until Tillman is clear from that concussion protocol. Keep him 1:10:58.600 --> 1:11:00.000 on the bench. He can monitor that one if you 1:11:00.080 --> 1:11:02.360 have him on your roster. Elijah Moore, I think is 1:11:02.439 --> 1:11:04.599 kind of I actually considered Elijah Moore for might take 1:11:04.600 --> 1:11:06.320 a chance, let me receiver. I'm gonna give I'm gonna 1:11:06.320 --> 1:11:09.080 give him a c here. More was averaging nine point 1:11:09.160 --> 1:11:12.880 seven targets per contest with Jameis Winston under center prior 1:11:12.920 --> 1:11:15.400 to that bad weather game against the Steelers, and he's 1:11:15.400 --> 1:11:18.920 sneaky startuple here if on the condition that Cedric Tillman 1:11:19.000 --> 1:11:21.680 does not play, because I think Winston may target the 1:11:21.760 --> 1:11:24.960 slot more in this pass heavy game script with certain 1:11:25.280 --> 1:11:26.760 potentially on Judy the whole time. 1:11:26.960 --> 1:11:29.200 Okay, Uh, David and Joko are gonna. 1:11:29.000 --> 1:11:30.800 Give him a be tight end eight and fantasy points 1:11:30.800 --> 1:11:33.160 per game with Winston under center, but only two red 1:11:33.200 --> 1:11:36.160 zone targets across the last four games, Broncos have allowed 1:11:36.160 --> 1:11:38.160 the tenth fewest receiving yards per game in the ninth 1:11:38.200 --> 1:11:41.080 fewest fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends and 1:11:41.120 --> 1:11:44.160 then over to the Broncos. Bon Nicks. Got to give him, 1:11:44.200 --> 1:11:45.880 gotta give him his flowers. I'm gonna give him a 1:11:45.920 --> 1:11:47.520 be in this matchup. 1:11:47.160 --> 1:11:47.479 All right? 1:11:48.400 --> 1:11:52.000 Do you want to make any declarative statements right now 1:11:52.800 --> 1:11:53.559 about Bonnicks? 1:11:54.000 --> 1:11:57.840 Bonicks are playing better than I thought he would play. Same, Yeah, 1:11:58.080 --> 1:11:58.320 he is. 1:11:58.479 --> 1:12:01.360 He's toured some bad defense. We'll see here. 1:12:01.600 --> 1:12:04.080 He's scored twenty plus fantasy points in six the last 1:12:04.160 --> 1:12:07.120 eight games, quarterback six in fantasy points per game since 1:12:07.160 --> 1:12:09.920 Week six, and the Broncos have allowed three of four 1:12:10.000 --> 1:12:13.080 quarterbacks to score twenty two point five plus fantasy points 1:12:13.080 --> 1:12:15.879 against him. I wanted to read something that Bill Barnwell 1:12:15.920 --> 1:12:18.800 wrote about Bonix. Though everyone's going nuts about BONECKX. Quote 1:12:18.800 --> 1:12:22.320 this from Bill Barnwell. Bonix has completed the most DePass 1:12:22.400 --> 1:12:24.720 of anyone in the league. Because he's attempted the most 1:12:24.800 --> 1:12:27.000 deep passes of anyone in the league, and because he's 1:12:27.040 --> 1:12:30.320 throwing the third most passes of any type of anyone 1:12:30.360 --> 1:12:30.800 in the league. 1:12:31.040 --> 1:12:32.320 He's twenty eighth in QBR. 1:12:32.479 --> 1:12:35.200 On those throws, he averages ten point five yards every 1:12:35.240 --> 1:12:37.679 time he throws one of them, which is also twenty eighth. 1:12:38.000 --> 1:12:41.400 His CPOE on those throws is thirty third. Nicks has 1:12:41.439 --> 1:12:44.000 taken eight ten plus yard sacks, third most in the league, 1:12:44.200 --> 1:12:46.799 twenty first and QBR twenty first, in yards per dropback 1:12:47.040 --> 1:12:49.800 twenty second and EPA per dropback against the blitz end quote, 1:12:50.520 --> 1:12:53.960 that's Bill Barnwell. That's not you. I wanted to quote. 1:12:54.000 --> 1:12:57.120 I wanted to quote someone that's Bill Barnwell. So send 1:12:57.160 --> 1:12:57.720 your hated him. 1:12:57.720 --> 1:13:01.280 Okay, don't like that, Okay, all that said, Yeah, you 1:13:01.400 --> 1:13:03.840 and I were very down on Bonnick. We didn't think 1:13:03.880 --> 1:13:06.200 that a lot of his stuff would translate to the NFL. Yeah, 1:13:06.640 --> 1:13:09.080 he's better than we thought. He's running that offense well 1:13:09.160 --> 1:13:11.880 for Sean Payton. Yeah, he's They've they've cut down his reason. 1:13:11.920 --> 1:13:12.720 He's doing well with it. 1:13:13.560 --> 1:13:16.600 Javonte Williams's gonna give as far as I'm gonna go, 1:13:16.680 --> 1:13:17.600 as as far as I'm gonna go. 1:13:17.960 --> 1:13:21.160 Javant simplified the offense enough that bon Nicks can be successful. 1:13:21.400 --> 1:13:24.000 That's exactly what I'm saying, Davonte Williams. He gets to 1:13:24.040 --> 1:13:27.080 see the Broncos running back room. It's just really hard 1:13:27.120 --> 1:13:29.840 to parse with Williams estimate Julia mcgloff, and they've all 1:13:29.880 --> 1:13:33.400 been featured various times. Over the past three games. Williams 1:13:33.439 --> 1:13:35.719 has been the most consistent of the trio. But Williams 1:13:35.760 --> 1:13:37.960 scored two point seven PPR points or less than three 1:13:37.960 --> 1:13:39.479 of the past four games, so I guess maybe he's 1:13:39.479 --> 1:13:41.720 not the most consistent. Browns have given up the seven 1:13:41.760 --> 1:13:44.600 fewest Fantasy points to opposing running backs. Williams needs to 1:13:44.600 --> 1:13:46.880 score a touchdown here, and he has only three this season. 1:13:47.240 --> 1:13:48.520 I'll give him a speculative. 1:13:48.600 --> 1:13:52.040 See though, Cortland Sutton a he's been on fire, scored 1:13:52.040 --> 1:13:54.640 at least fifteen PPR points in five games in a row. 1:13:55.000 --> 1:13:57.559 Three of those times he had nineteen plus PPR points 1:13:57.800 --> 1:13:59.559 at least eight targets in each game. 1:13:59.600 --> 1:13:59.800 Over that. 1:14:00.720 --> 1:14:02.640 Bonick heard me complaining about that one game where he 1:14:02.680 --> 1:14:04.680 didn't even look at Cartland Sutton and ever since then 1:14:04.720 --> 1:14:07.439 he was just poundering with targets. So Cortland gets any 1:14:07.560 --> 1:14:10.760 and then Devon Vley, hold the Vley. He was going 1:14:10.800 --> 1:14:13.639 to take a chance at me receiver, all right, fantastic. 1:14:13.560 --> 1:14:16.200 Would we come back? Premature speculation. We've only got a 1:14:16.280 --> 1:14:18.439 couple of these left. We do it as long as 1:14:18.479 --> 1:14:20.240 there are bye week's left, So next week would be 1:14:20.280 --> 1:14:23.439 our last premature speculation of the year. But we will 1:14:23.680 --> 1:14:26.400 jump back into the Fantasy Football Weekly time machine and 1:14:26.479 --> 1:14:28.040 to give you some guys you want to pick up 1:14:28.120 --> 1:14:30.280 now that Obels is going to try to pick up 1:14:30.320 --> 1:14:32.479 next week, but they're already on your team. And our 1:14:32.560 --> 1:14:36.080 final set of matchups including the forty nine ers and 1:14:36.120 --> 1:14:39.880 the Bills in a possible weather game coming up. We'll 1:14:39.920 --> 1:14:42.599 talk that through when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. 1:14:57.280 --> 1:15:00.960 Sad times the final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly. 1:15:01.439 --> 1:15:04.600 Oh oh man ah my co. 1:15:04.640 --> 1:15:07.599 Host today Scott Fish, Thorn Eistrom. You can follow us 1:15:07.600 --> 1:15:11.280 on Twitter. I'm at Paul Charchian, Scott Fish at Scott 1:15:11.360 --> 1:15:15.360 Fish twenty four, Thornon, i Istrom at thor k You 1:15:15.960 --> 1:15:17.680 Rock Rock Stark, Gotchab. 1:15:17.960 --> 1:15:20.599 There we go every single time without fail. 1:15:20.800 --> 1:15:24.200 You are there. This segment we call premature speculation. We 1:15:24.320 --> 1:15:26.280 try to figure out who you should pick up now 1:15:26.400 --> 1:15:28.680 that other people will trying to pick up later in 1:15:28.800 --> 1:15:29.360 the future. 1:15:29.800 --> 1:15:30.879 We begin with Scott. 1:15:30.840 --> 1:15:33.519 Fish, who is your premature speculation player. 1:15:33.880 --> 1:15:38.040 Yeah, it's not as much this week as you just mentioned. 1:15:38.080 --> 1:15:41.280 With the Tennessee Washington matchup for Taja Spears returning from 1:15:41.320 --> 1:15:43.680 that concussion, but Brian Callahan has said he wants them 1:15:43.680 --> 1:15:46.040 to have a more even split and listen to their 1:15:46.080 --> 1:15:49.040 schedule coming up for the final four or so weeks 1:15:49.080 --> 1:15:52.560 of the fantasy regular season into the playoffs. Yeah, Jaguars 1:15:52.680 --> 1:15:56.519 thirty first against fantasy running backs. Yeah, Colts thirtieth against 1:15:56.560 --> 1:16:00.799 fantasy running backs, so second worst, third worst. Then the Bengals, 1:16:01.160 --> 1:16:03.840 who are you know, top eight against fantasy running backs, 1:16:03.880 --> 1:16:05.479 but have allowed four scores to running backs in the 1:16:05.520 --> 1:16:08.639 last three weeks, and then they get the Jaguars again. 1:16:08.680 --> 1:16:11.360 They have a really good schedule for running backs, especially 1:16:11.400 --> 1:16:13.200 pass catching running backs of the next four weeks. 1:16:13.320 --> 1:16:15.720 All right, Spears, got you? 1:16:15.920 --> 1:16:16.280 All right? 1:16:16.479 --> 1:16:19.560 Thor your premature speculation player. 1:16:19.400 --> 1:16:21.880 Slim pickens this time of the year, but a little 1:16:21.880 --> 1:16:22.679 bit it's gotten harder. 1:16:22.840 --> 1:16:26.160 Yeah, I'm you know, so I go to speculating non injuries, 1:16:26.200 --> 1:16:28.439 which is why I'm going to do Sean Tucker running 1:16:28.479 --> 1:16:30.679 back for the Buccaneers since weeks. 1:16:30.720 --> 1:16:33.679 So you're not entering into the universe anything bad about 1:16:33.680 --> 1:16:34.640 Bucky Irving right now? 1:16:35.160 --> 1:16:38.840 You no, no, no, maybe maybe I'm Rishard White. Yeah, Okay. 1:16:38.960 --> 1:16:42.320 Since Week seven, Rishad White RB eight and fantasy points 1:16:42.360 --> 1:16:45.200 per game and Bucky Irving is RB twelve Fantasy points 1:16:45.200 --> 1:16:47.600 per game. They'd stay in two running backs. They're one 1:16:47.640 --> 1:16:49.519 of those guys were to get hurt. Tucker is going 1:16:49.560 --> 1:16:51.439 to get twelve to fifteen touches per game in a 1:16:51.520 --> 1:16:56.040 good situation. He had four carries, had a touchdown well, 1:16:56.160 --> 1:16:58.720 catching one target in the win over the Giants last week. 1:16:58.800 --> 1:17:00.960 That was a blowout and in that game script. 1:17:01.160 --> 1:17:03.760 But he's now scored three all purpose touchdowns, only thirty 1:17:03.760 --> 1:17:07.400 eight touches this year, and he's good and limited action 1:17:07.680 --> 1:17:10.479 eighty point seven PFF grade in his seventy three snaps. 1:17:10.680 --> 1:17:12.760 One of those two guys gets injured, Tucker could be 1:17:13.120 --> 1:17:14.920 a starting caliber player down the stretch. 1:17:16.240 --> 1:17:18.800 I'm going now, I'm talking Okay, the player are going 1:17:18.840 --> 1:17:20.559 to talk about it. I'm talking to a very specific 1:17:20.640 --> 1:17:23.760 audience here. Yeah, Dynasty and Empire players is the next 1:17:23.840 --> 1:17:26.160 year think okay, okay, And you need to be in 1:17:26.200 --> 1:17:29.360 super flex or two quarterback league okay before you should 1:17:29.360 --> 1:17:30.679 be interested in Bryce Young. 1:17:31.160 --> 1:17:31.439 Okay. 1:17:31.800 --> 1:17:37.760 I'm advocating for Young because he is tangibly playing at 1:17:37.800 --> 1:17:40.599 a totally different level than the adeptitude we had seen 1:17:40.640 --> 1:17:44.440 it any other time throughout his career. Dave Canallis, Dave Canalis, 1:17:44.600 --> 1:17:48.639 it's starting to come together, baby steps. Every single week, 1:17:49.040 --> 1:17:53.679 going back three weeks ago, Panthers won actually three games ago, 1:17:53.880 --> 1:17:56.280 Panthers won two in a row. Then they went on 1:17:56.360 --> 1:17:59.439 by and then they took the Chiefs. They were tied 1:17:59.520 --> 1:18:01.680 with the chief So with ninety seconds left, I mean 1:18:01.720 --> 1:18:05.479 the Panthers nearly took down the Chiefs only again only 1:18:05.560 --> 1:18:08.559 one week ago. And some of the improvements we're seeing 1:18:08.640 --> 1:18:14.160 Bryce Young are statistically objective, like zero turnovers in the 1:18:14.240 --> 1:18:16.640 past two games, a deeper a dot than he has 1:18:16.720 --> 1:18:21.240 had on a consistent basis, And some of the intangibles 1:18:21.320 --> 1:18:25.160 are just look at him play, The poise, the confidence, 1:18:25.240 --> 1:18:28.000 and frankly the lack of stupid plays from Bryce Young 1:18:28.160 --> 1:18:32.280 are very very encouraging. You know, this is a great time. 1:18:32.640 --> 1:18:35.360 I think in most dynasty and keeper leagues, trade deadline's 1:18:35.400 --> 1:18:38.320 like here, it's it's coming fast. If if you're not 1:18:38.360 --> 1:18:40.840 already there, this is your chance to go get Bryce 1:18:40.960 --> 1:18:45.439 Young at basically bargain basement price. I think Carolina's going 1:18:45.479 --> 1:18:46.800 to go to war with him again next year. 1:18:46.960 --> 1:18:47.920 Yeah, I can see that. 1:18:48.120 --> 1:18:51.000 Yeah, and you'll have a starting quarterback again. Dynasty Empire 1:18:51.040 --> 1:18:52.160 two quarterback leagues. 1:18:52.080 --> 1:18:54.880 By the way, just in generally, Thorne took a backup 1:18:54.920 --> 1:18:57.759 brainbacks that we mentioned this second half of the season 1:18:57.960 --> 1:19:01.120 entering the playoffs. You want the taj Is, the Benson's, 1:19:01.200 --> 1:19:04.759 the Spears, the Roshan Johnson, the Bigsby's, Singletary, Ray Davis, 1:19:04.800 --> 1:19:08.479 Braylen Allen Jalen Wright. All you want, something's gonna happen. 1:19:09.000 --> 1:19:09.760 You'll want that guy. 1:19:09.920 --> 1:19:12.639 Yes, you should not be You should not be rostering 1:19:12.760 --> 1:19:15.280 third receivers from some team roster cloggers. 1:19:15.320 --> 1:19:16.880 Get rid of them. Look for upside. 1:19:16.880 --> 1:19:19.320 They can help you in the laps, like Tank Bigsby 1:19:19.840 --> 1:19:20.519 as Blake. 1:19:20.360 --> 1:19:25.000 Corn even though he gets nothing, but if Karen goes down, that's. 1:19:24.960 --> 1:19:26.960 Right, he'd get a lot. And Kiren's been a you know, 1:19:27.120 --> 1:19:29.840 there's somebody who's we don't wish injury on anybody, but 1:19:29.960 --> 1:19:33.120 given his usage right as a candidate. All right, Scott, 1:19:33.240 --> 1:19:35.519 let's go to the Rams taking on the Saints in 1:19:35.640 --> 1:19:37.720 this one. Oh no, sorry, we already did that. San 1:19:37.800 --> 1:19:40.840 Francisco taking on Buffalo, Yeah, could be a weather game. 1:19:41.200 --> 1:19:43.479 The Bills have already asked for volunteers to shovel I 1:19:43.600 --> 1:19:46.559 think the snow is gonna hit before available the game. 1:19:47.680 --> 1:19:50.720 That's right, exactly. Fantasy Football Weekly grew coming down. Oh, 1:19:50.800 --> 1:19:52.479 I like, it wouldn't it be fun to do a 1:19:52.560 --> 1:19:53.599 winter game in Buffalo? 1:19:53.880 --> 1:19:54.080 Yeah? 1:19:54.200 --> 1:19:54.479 I would. 1:19:54.479 --> 1:19:58.280 I would do that forty nine, taking on Bill Scott. Yeah. 1:19:58.360 --> 1:20:01.720 So, Brock Purty expect to play limited practice this week. 1:20:03.960 --> 1:20:07.400 Your options if he doesn't go. Your pivots on that 1:20:07.720 --> 1:20:11.519 Saturday night game are like Josh Allen Bonix are probably 1:20:11.600 --> 1:20:15.920 both highly rostered, maybe Jameis Winston. So part of the 1:20:16.000 --> 1:20:19.920 C grade is baked in that it's possible he won't play, 1:20:20.200 --> 1:20:21.960 and you should probably go with a different option just 1:20:22.040 --> 1:20:24.280 in case that couldn't get knocked out or could get 1:20:24.360 --> 1:20:27.439 knocked out before the injury. I had multiple scores and 1:20:27.520 --> 1:20:29.880 back to back. He also gets a bills d that's 1:20:29.880 --> 1:20:33.120 allowed multiple scores in three straight. Purty's averaging two thirty 1:20:33.160 --> 1:20:35.160 bills are allowing about in the average of two thirty, 1:20:35.200 --> 1:20:37.080 So it feels like two hundred and thirty and one 1:20:37.120 --> 1:20:39.320 to two scores is about where it's gonna go. But again, 1:20:39.479 --> 1:20:42.439 possible weather game paired with we're not even one hundred 1:20:42.439 --> 1:20:44.519 percent sure he's gonna play. There's probably better options, but 1:20:44.560 --> 1:20:47.200 I'll give him a C grade here his receivers. I 1:20:47.280 --> 1:20:50.400 got a B grade on Juwan Jennings. The Bills do 1:20:50.640 --> 1:20:53.200 allow the fifth fewest Fantasy points to the perimeter where 1:20:53.280 --> 1:20:56.679 Juwan Jennings plays, but he's had eleven targets, eleven targets, 1:20:56.720 --> 1:20:59.599 eleven targets and seven plus catches and ninety plus yards 1:20:59.680 --> 1:21:03.400 in each of the last two party starts before before 1:21:03.640 --> 1:21:06.560 you know Party's injury. Even with Allen last week, he 1:21:06.680 --> 1:21:08.000 led the team in targets with seven. 1:21:08.320 --> 1:21:08.800 I love him. 1:21:09.520 --> 1:21:12.719 The problem is the Bills allow the seventh fewest yards 1:21:12.760 --> 1:21:15.559 and or seventh fewest yards and six fewest cards scores 1:21:15.600 --> 1:21:18.439 to wide receivers. The wide receivers who have done well 1:21:18.680 --> 1:21:21.120 get volume, and if he gets that same volume, I'm 1:21:21.160 --> 1:21:23.160 okay with it. I like it, and it's got to 1:21:23.200 --> 1:21:24.960 go somewhere. So I have a B grade on Jennings, 1:21:25.400 --> 1:21:28.120 a C grade on Samuel. They allow the fewest pass 1:21:28.160 --> 1:21:30.240 plays over twenty yards, so you're not going to get 1:21:30.320 --> 1:21:34.400 chunk plays. Deebo hasn't scored since Week six, but he's 1:21:34.439 --> 1:21:38.640 still getting this six to seven targets per game. With 1:21:38.840 --> 1:21:41.680 McCaffrey back, he's shifted almost to the fourth option in 1:21:41.720 --> 1:21:45.040 the pass game, though, so that concerns me too. I know, yeah, 1:21:45.560 --> 1:21:47.960 Ricky Piersall has failed to catch a pass in both 1:21:48.000 --> 1:21:51.599 weeks eleven and twelve. Rout participations have been but we're 1:21:51.640 --> 1:21:54.439 not talking about him. No, George Kittle otto a tight 1:21:54.560 --> 1:21:57.639 end one scored in three straight. Even with Brandon Allen, 1:21:57.720 --> 1:21:59.920 he showed up. It doesn't matter for Kittle at. 1:21:59.800 --> 1:22:02.000 This probably haven't given Kittle enough love this season. 1:22:02.000 --> 1:22:04.360 We really haven't been been. His fantasy points per game 1:22:04.439 --> 1:22:06.960 is like five more than a like even more than Bowers. 1:22:07.000 --> 1:22:10.160 It's crazy where he's sitting at. And then Christian McCaffrey. 1:22:10.160 --> 1:22:12.280 I do have an A grade on nineteen touches and 1:22:12.360 --> 1:22:15.160 twenty one touches over one hundred yards in each of 1:22:15.240 --> 1:22:18.479 his first two games back with party. Last weekend was 1:22:18.479 --> 1:22:21.400 a little different with a tougher defensive draw on Brandon Allen, 1:22:21.479 --> 1:22:25.280 but he's probably getting getting pretty back and the Bills 1:22:25.320 --> 1:22:28.240 allowed the eighth most combo yards have been torched by 1:22:28.360 --> 1:22:31.960 pass catching backs, allowing the most receptions, receiving yards, and 1:22:32.120 --> 1:22:35.880 receiving touchdowns to the position. So seven different backs over 1:22:35.960 --> 1:22:38.840 fifty yards and or a score just through the air. 1:22:39.640 --> 1:22:42.679 So good spot for McCaffrey here over the Buffalo side. 1:22:43.200 --> 1:22:45.960 And by the way, McCaffrey needs it, he does. Yeah, 1:22:46.040 --> 1:22:49.080 last week was not was rough all three weeks? Yeah, well, 1:22:49.240 --> 1:22:52.160 I mean he had one hundred total yards each of 1:22:52.200 --> 1:22:55.040 those he's helping out. But the past game work is 1:22:55.080 --> 1:22:57.800 what happened. Yes, the groundwork has been bad a grade 1:22:57.840 --> 1:22:59.960 for Josh Allen and the Bills. Six game wins stream 1:23:00.120 --> 1:23:02.760 Allen is averaging two hundred and sixty seven yards and 1:23:02.920 --> 1:23:06.000 two point two scores multiple scores in five of six 1:23:06.600 --> 1:23:08.880 forty nine ers are top ten in yards and scored 1:23:08.920 --> 1:23:09.839 allowed to passers. 1:23:10.200 --> 1:23:11.719 It is a tough tougher spot. 1:23:11.800 --> 1:23:14.840 But the four more mobile Russian quarterbacks, the four mobile 1:23:14.880 --> 1:23:17.880 ones they faced, averaged forty four yards and three of 1:23:17.920 --> 1:23:20.680 those four scored. Josh Allen's a mobile quarterback. He might 1:23:20.720 --> 1:23:21.200 get some of that. 1:23:22.520 --> 1:23:26.040 Khalil Shakir double digit PPR games in five straight games, 1:23:26.120 --> 1:23:30.080 super safe, four floor, six plus catches, seven plus targets, 1:23:30.120 --> 1:23:33.120 fifty plus yards in all of those led the team 1:23:33.200 --> 1:23:37.439 and targets in all of those, not to mention two 1:23:37.520 --> 1:23:40.160 slot guys in the last three weeks, JSN and Cede 1:23:40.320 --> 1:23:42.040 Lamb went for one hundred and ten and one hundred 1:23:42.040 --> 1:23:43.840 and forty six against the Niners. 1:23:43.840 --> 1:23:46.760 Against the Niners, Diamadur Leonor is a pretty good slot 1:23:46.800 --> 1:23:48.200 corner Yac. Yeah getting killed. 1:23:48.320 --> 1:23:50.360 Yeah yeah, well on those two, like there have been 1:23:50.360 --> 1:23:50.840 a lot of games. 1:23:51.080 --> 1:23:52.599 Khalils really good too. 1:23:52.720 --> 1:23:57.479 Yeah, he catches everything. Because Keon Coleman is questionable, he's 1:23:57.520 --> 1:24:00.519 been dealing with that wrist injury. Limited drills on the side, 1:24:00.880 --> 1:24:03.639 and it's a Sunday night game, I said Saturday before 1:24:03.720 --> 1:24:06.439 Sunday night game. I have him on the bench. I 1:24:06.439 --> 1:24:08.920 don't want to risk trying to pivot. You know, maybe 1:24:08.920 --> 1:24:11.599 Elijah Morris a pivot if you really need Keon Coleman, 1:24:11.640 --> 1:24:13.400 but there's no teams on buy. You probably don't need 1:24:13.760 --> 1:24:16.559 the pivot when he's in. If he plays limited even 1:24:16.640 --> 1:24:19.720 he torpedo Samuel who's had fourteen plus targets in the 1:24:19.800 --> 1:24:22.439 last two games. But if he returns, I got both 1:24:22.479 --> 1:24:26.360 of them on the bench. Amari Cooper, dang it, Like 1:24:26.479 --> 1:24:28.320 I want to bench him. I want to bench him, 1:24:28.320 --> 1:24:31.000 but he is He's top fifty five yards in two 1:24:31.080 --> 1:24:35.120 of his three games. He's his top snap percentage is 1:24:35.160 --> 1:24:38.400 fifty one percent. He's a part time limited player, and 1:24:38.479 --> 1:24:40.559 he's top fifty five yards in two of those games 1:24:40.640 --> 1:24:43.000 with limited product. If he gets it this week, if 1:24:43.040 --> 1:24:45.960 he finally gets more snaps, if he's out there running 1:24:45.960 --> 1:24:48.759 more routes, I'm gonna give him c grade on the upside, 1:24:49.439 --> 1:24:52.120 just on the upside. And Dawson Knox is on the bench. 1:24:52.479 --> 1:24:54.479 Unlike last week, this is a forty nine ers d 1:24:54.560 --> 1:24:56.800 allowing the second fewest yards to tight ends and just 1:24:56.880 --> 1:24:58.679 three scores on the year. He was a fine flex 1:24:58.720 --> 1:24:59.479 play last week. 1:25:00.000 --> 1:25:02.639 It turned out okay, well, four for forty he played, 1:25:02.720 --> 1:25:05.200 but he did do play eighty six percent snaps. 1:25:05.240 --> 1:25:08.400 He was out there. The process was correct. 1:25:08.600 --> 1:25:11.280 I think the process was. Yes, tell me about the 1:25:11.320 --> 1:25:12.759 Fantasy Cares Advent calendar. 1:25:12.880 --> 1:25:14.840 You know what before I do that? Oh James Cook? 1:25:15.120 --> 1:25:17.000 Oh sorry, sorry, I thought you were right. 1:25:17.520 --> 1:25:19.040 Yeah, I thought I was too. But I forget the 1:25:19.120 --> 1:25:23.200 running back. Sometimes starting running back has scored on the Bills. 1:25:23.320 --> 1:25:25.439 The starting running back has scored against the forty nine 1:25:25.560 --> 1:25:29.439 ers in six straight games, including six scores in just 1:25:29.520 --> 1:25:31.880 the last three weeks. Cook has scored in all but 1:25:31.960 --> 1:25:34.839 three games this year, eleven times in eleven games, averaging 1:25:34.920 --> 1:25:38.240 fifteen plus touches. It's a good spot for him. Despite 1:25:38.320 --> 1:25:40.639 the tenth fewest yards allowed to backs for the forty 1:25:40.720 --> 1:25:42.240 nine ers, they allow a lot of scores, so it'd 1:25:42.240 --> 1:25:42.759 be great. 1:25:42.680 --> 1:25:43.000 All right. 1:25:43.160 --> 1:25:46.280 In twenty seconds, give me the Fantasy Cares Advent calendar. 1:25:46.360 --> 1:25:51.639 Yeah yeah, Fantasycares dot org slash advent forty dollars donation, 1:25:51.760 --> 1:25:54.720 gets your name in the drawing, a daily drawing for 1:25:54.840 --> 1:25:57.720 twenty five days during the month of December, and we 1:25:57.840 --> 1:25:59.880 give away a sign jersey. It could be like it's 1:26:00.040 --> 1:26:03.200 jerseys like Lamar Jackson, Jamar Chase, Justin Jefferson, those level 1:26:03.280 --> 1:26:07.120 jerseys signed jerseys forty dollars to get two entries per day. 1:26:07.479 --> 1:26:11.559 Fantasy Care fifty fifty entries dot org. Yes, Eagles take 1:26:11.600 --> 1:26:15.000 on the Ravens. Saquon Barkley, Jalen Hurts, AJ Brown, all 1:26:15.080 --> 1:26:18.719 a grades. There is a little bit of trepidation with Barkley, 1:26:18.840 --> 1:26:21.800 just because Baltimore's is such a good run defense. But 1:26:22.240 --> 1:26:25.639 Barkley's insane right now, and you're obviously you're you're total. 1:26:25.680 --> 1:26:27.880 You're going to start all of those guys no matter what. 1:26:28.400 --> 1:26:31.040 Trickier starts include Dallas Goddard, who have got with a 1:26:31.080 --> 1:26:33.559 B grade, good tight ends almost always find their way 1:26:33.560 --> 1:26:37.000 to solid games against the Ravens. Travis Kelce, Brock Bowers, 1:26:37.120 --> 1:26:40.519 Jake Ferguson, Dalton Kon, k zach Ertz, Kate Dotton. That's 1:26:40.600 --> 1:26:44.439 every starting fantasy level tight end Baltimore's face, and they're 1:26:44.439 --> 1:26:48.280 averaging six catches for seventy four yards. So Dallas Goddard 1:26:48.320 --> 1:26:51.280 a safe B grade here. Devata Smith is hoping to 1:26:51.320 --> 1:26:54.639 return from a hamstring injury, but even in a positive matchup, 1:26:54.640 --> 1:26:58.200 I'd show a little caution since hamstring injuries aggravate easily 1:26:58.320 --> 1:27:01.960 and the Ravens secondary playing way better lately. They've shut 1:27:02.000 --> 1:27:04.600 out receivers in three of the past four games. And 1:27:04.720 --> 1:27:08.120 if Smith clears the injury report completely, then I would say, okay, 1:27:08.200 --> 1:27:10.000 let's upgrade him up to a B because then I 1:27:10.040 --> 1:27:12.000 don't have to worry about the reaggravation of the injury. 1:27:12.560 --> 1:27:15.960 But otherwise, ce grade on DeVonta Smith. On the Baltimore side, 1:27:16.479 --> 1:27:19.559 Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson, I mean, they're always they're 1:27:19.560 --> 1:27:23.040 basically always eight grades, but brutal matchup. The Eagles rank 1:27:23.240 --> 1:27:26.479 number one in fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks number two 1:27:26.680 --> 1:27:29.040 in fantasy points allowed to running backs over the past 1:27:29.120 --> 1:27:32.000 six games, but it's Derek Henry and Lamar Jackson, so 1:27:32.120 --> 1:27:34.240 you're always gonna start him, and I'm gonna keep giving 1:27:34.320 --> 1:27:37.400 him to eight grades anyway, because they're special backs. Zay 1:27:37.520 --> 1:27:39.720 Flowers comes into the Sea grade. He runs from all 1:27:39.760 --> 1:27:42.200 over the field, but there's nowhere to hide from an 1:27:42.280 --> 1:27:46.200 excellent Philly secondary. Flowers has a brutal matchup against Cooper 1:27:46.240 --> 1:27:49.920 Dejen and Quinnon Mitchell and Darius Slay. Slay's the most 1:27:49.960 --> 1:27:52.600 beatable of those three cornerbacks, but even he's got a 1:27:52.640 --> 1:27:55.840 meager fifty nine percent completion rate in his coverage and 1:27:55.920 --> 1:27:57.960 he's given up just two scores all year, and he's 1:27:58.000 --> 1:28:01.960 the easy one. Since weeks when Cooper Dejen became the 1:28:02.040 --> 1:28:05.080 starting slot cornerback, the Eagles have only allowed three wide 1:28:05.120 --> 1:28:09.439 receiver touchdowns and lastly, Mark Andrews tough matchup for a 1:28:09.600 --> 1:28:12.120 mostly touchdown dependent tight end against a team that's only 1:28:12.120 --> 1:28:13.679 allowed one tight end touchdown. 1:28:14.120 --> 1:28:15.799 But like I mentioned earlier show, last. 1:28:15.680 --> 1:28:16.240 Said I said that. 1:28:16.240 --> 1:28:18.160 About the Chargers, who hadn't given up any touchdowns, the 1:28:18.200 --> 1:28:20.559 league gave up one to Mark Andrews, So C grade 1:28:20.560 --> 1:28:22.760 because you never know to him, absolutely, why not? 1:28:22.960 --> 1:28:23.080 Right? 1:28:23.439 --> 1:28:25.560 If you have not tried a guillotine league yet, you 1:28:25.760 --> 1:28:29.840 still can.
