Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, Week number five. 0:00:25.880 --> 0:00:28.080 I am Paul Charchi and my costs today are Matt 0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:32.680 Harrison and thor Nystrom. Hey, hey, guys, we've got a 0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:36.080 lot of people already finding themselves in a deep poll. 0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:39.880 She played against Justin Fields or Sam Howell or DJ Moore. 0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:44.040 We have to work extra hard on earth in this 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:47.320 a bye week, the first bye week, some great sleeper hio, 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:50.000 Justin Fields. Yeah, it's hard to come together. 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:53.280 Are you insinuating that we don't work hard on most weeks? 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:58.280 I'm insinuating you don't work ok, gotcha most weeks in particular? Yeah, 0:00:58.280 --> 0:00:59.520 I mean yes, over. 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:02.920 The course, work about the same amount of hard this week. Sorry, 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:06.120 you didn't warn me up front that I had to 0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:06.760 work harder. 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:10.640 When Justin Fields throws four touchdowns, you have to work harder. 0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:12.960 Put it in slack next time that, Oh, Matt, gotta 0:01:13.000 --> 0:01:13.800 work harder this week? 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:16.319 Yes, Over the course of the show, we'll break down 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:18.440 all of the games and this week's slate, we'll give 0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:20.880 you later grade letter grades on all the players. We'll 0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:23.160 give you nine players upon whom you can take a chance. 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.880 We'll answer three tough questions, and we'll give you some 0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:30.080 players upon whom you can speculate for future weeks, including 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:34.440 two dart throw quarterbacks we're gonna come up. Over the 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:38.440 course of the show. We begin with Carolina taking on Detroit. 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.640 Matt For Carolina, it was back to Bryce Young and 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:44.160 the offense took a step backwards last week. What do 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:45.399 you think of this week? In Detroit? 0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:49.760 Bryce Young is putrid. He's seeing a twenty five point 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:52.840 eight percent pressure rate, which is extremely high, and he's 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:56.000 about four foot two and that's contributing to his horrible 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:59.200 one hundred and sixty seven passing yards per game. The 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:01.840 Lions have the fifth highest pressure rate in the league 0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:05.080 at forty point seven percent, with the third lowest blitz 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:08.920 rate at fifteen point nine percent. So the Lions can 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:13.600 rush four yeah and drop everybody back, and Bryce Young's 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:15.480 not going to be able to get anything done. He's 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.040 on the bench. I will give Adam Thiel in a 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:20.800 C grade in this one. He has thirty one targets 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:22.760 in the last three weeks and runs about seventy two 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:25.360 percent of his routes from the slot. This year, Detroit's 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:28.239 slot corner Brian Branch has been targeted the fifth most 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:31.680 among slot corners in the NFL, and he's also allowed 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:35.360 two touchdowns in his coverage so far. And then Hayden Hurst, 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:38.480 he gets like a desperation dart throw D I mean 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.760 C grade in the tight end waste land. He did 0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:43.960 see seven targets in Week one and just three per 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.000 week since, but Detroit has allowed the most receptions and 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:49.720 yards to the tight end position through the first four weeks, 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:52.639 an average of eight catches in seventy six yards per game. 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.880 That all goes to Hayden Hurst. If we hit that average, 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.120 I like it all the other wide receivers on the bench. 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:01.320 As for the running backs, my Sanders has been removed 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:03.320 from the injury report, but there's still a very good 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:05.160 chance that we see a lot of Chewba Hubbard in 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:08.079 this game. Hubbard is third in the league in yards 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:11.040 after contact at two point eight per rushing attempt. He 0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:14.120 actually out snapped Sanders last week thirty nine to thirty one, 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.359 and it's been closer to a timeshare than we imagined. 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.040 And it's not a great matchup for a split backfield. 0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:21.360 The Lions are only allowing two point eight yards per 0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:24.600 carry and forty five rushing yards per game, so I'm 0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.320 leaving both of these guys on the bench since Sanders 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:31.280 is active. On the other side, though, it's a running 0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:36.040 back bonanza, I'm going to give David Montgomery a fantasy ardvark. Yeah, 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:39.440 right out of the bat here. He leads the league 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:42.960 and carries from inside the five. He has seven this 0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:46.320 year and four touchdowns already. He completely took over that 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:50.120 Jamal Williams role from last year. Also, he leads the 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:53.960 league in broken tackles with twelve. Wow, he missed the 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:56.960 whole game. He's really good. He's really really good, and 0:03:57.040 --> 0:04:00.520 he faces a really bad Panthers round defense allowing four 0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:02.880 point nine yards per kerry and have already allowed seven 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:06.120 touchdowns to the running back position this year. Jamiir Gibbs 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.360 and his thirteen touches per game are also in play 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.640 with a B grade here, So it's fire up those 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:14.280 Detroit running backs on the passing side. It's so easy 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:16.520 to run against the Panthers that very few teams even 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.520 try to pass. They're only seeing twenty seven passing attempts 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:21.520 per game. That's the third lowest in the league. 0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:24.080 Vikings only through nineteen passes last. 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:28.840 Week nineteen times. Yes, that's why three of the four 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.200 quarterbacks they faced have been held to under two hundred 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.560 twenty eight yards, including Kirk Cousins who only had one 0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.760 hundred and thirty nine passing yards last week. For that reason, 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:39.800 Jared Goff just gets a C grade in here. He's 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:41.720 doing pretty well. He's fourth in the league in on 0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:44.720 target throw percentage at eighty two percent. But how much 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:46.560 will he have to throw in this one? That's the worry, 0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:50.800 especially if Amon Ross Saint Brown doesn't go in this one. 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.440 He's been downgraded to doubtful. He sat all week with 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.760 an abdominal injury, which I thought was probably just a 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.400 side effect of his six pack expanding to an eight pack. 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:03.720 Number one wide receivers have had good days against Carolina, 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.800 including Justin Jefferson with eighty five yards and two scores 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.800 last week. DK Metcalf had one hundred and twelve yards 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:13.000 on six catches the week before. It doesn't look like 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:15.880 Saint Brown's gonna go. If he doesn't go, Josh Reynolds 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.800 likely flexes into the slot more and probably into a 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.080 wide receiver one role. I'd throw a see his way 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:24.279 if Saint Brown is inactive. But it's not a Jamison 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:26.400 Williams or Khalif Raymond or Marvin Jones week. 0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:29.480 They're all on the bench and we should just spend 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:32.840 just one second on Jamal Williams or sorry, Jamis and Williams. 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:35.600 People are excited about him coming back a week early, yep. 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.719 I just feel like, let's see what the snapcount even 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:39.200 looks like. 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:40.120 Yeah, I was gonna be. 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:42.040 I think he's on the field like twelve plays. 0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:46.080 Yeah, agree, I think maybe won two targets tops. Yeah, 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:46.960 which for him. 0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:49.200 Remember he was active for half of the games last 0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:51.240 year and he averaged one target per game. 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:53.200 Yeah, I got one more guy to talk about it, 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:55.880 Sam Laporta, who gets a B grade. The Panthers are 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.960 a middle of the pack defense against the tight end. 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.120 Despite not having surrendered a touchdown to the position yet, 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:05.120 Laporta has had at least five targets and four receptions 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:08.400 in every game in his young career in a PPR 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:11.760 league He's a ten pointer just about every week at least, 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:13.560 so he's a top five tight. 0:06:13.520 --> 0:06:14.080 End at this point. 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:15.279 You got to keep him in your lineup. 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:15.560 Stud. 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:19.640 Yeah, Houston takes on Atlanta or they just put their 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:23.800 eighth offensive linemen on injured reserve. Oh no, Reddy and 0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:28.000 three different linemen are going to play injured this week. 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:33.000 Yet here we are, and so to this point, the 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:36.159 passing game has been pretty down effective for Houston. Sure 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:38.840 has yeah, better news for this rookie quarterback than the 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:39.320 last one. 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.760 Matt was just talking about CJ. Strout. I'm gonna give 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:42.880 him a B in this matchup. 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:47.000 Number four in Fantasy points per dropback, number three in 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:48.120 yards per attempt. 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:49.840 Decent matchup here. 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:53.080 The Falcons have allowed the ninth most passing touchdowns so 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:57.200 far this season. Nico Collins, who was having an amazing 0:06:57.560 --> 0:07:01.360 season so far wide receiver seven in Fantasy about that, 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:05.520 number three in yards per route run. But Atlanta does 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.160 have the solid boundary corners in both aj Terrell, who 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.320 he talked about in the past in particular, and also 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:14.080 of course Jeffrey Okuda. They temper expectations just a little bit. 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.720 So I'm gonna give Nico a B. Same sort of 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:19.400 deal with Tank Dell, who I'm gonna give a C. 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:23.800 Tanks number seventeen in yards per route run since week two. 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:27.240 He leads the Texans in deep targets. That's the good news. 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:29.520 The bad news is, and everyone out there you know 0:07:29.640 --> 0:07:32.880 that Tank is diminutive. He only has one red zone target. 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:36.240 So we're gonna give him a C. Robert Woods, We're 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.000 gonna get back to in a bit here because he 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:41.280 is might take a chance on me wide receiver Dalton Schultz. 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:43.960 Keep him on your bench and also ignore his solid 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:47.160 three catches for forty three yards and a touchdown receiving 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.600 line last week. He's in a time share with two 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:53.040 other tight ends. I don't know if he can sustain that, 0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.440 so we're gonna keep him on the bench. Damian Pierce, 0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:57.920 I'm gonna give him a C. He played fifty four 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.760 percent or more of snaps in the last two weeks, 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:04.679 but he only the route participation keeps dropping and dropping 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:05.080 and dropping. 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:05.800 I don't understand that. 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:07.760 It's only it's down to twenty four point two percent. 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.280 I don't understand it either. The kids a skilled receiver, right, 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:13.760 you can catch I. I don't understand the Falcons improved 0:08:13.800 --> 0:08:16.760 run defense ranked number twelve and stuff rate. It's stunk 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.640 last year, it's getting solid. So it's not the best 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:21.840 matchup for Damian Pierce. We're going to give him a 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:26.800 ce moving to the Falcons. Speaking of stinking the Desmond Ridder. 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:28.080 Keep him on the bench. 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:30.600 Yeah, yeah, well he might be on the Falcons bench 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:31.840 here was going to do. 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:34.280 Do you think Desmond Ridder finishes this game? 0:08:35.360 --> 0:08:35.400 No? 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:36.240 I don't. 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:39.800 Yeah, yeah, we're getting really close to the hook, right yeah, yeah, 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:41.760 so do We'll talk more about that later. And for 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.160 a team that's competing for the division title, you just 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:47.360 can't afford to have him that sort of level of play. 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:50.880 Drake London for that reason that the play at Desmond Radder, 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:52.720 I think you have to keep him on the bench 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:55.880 in this game. It is getting ugly London. He had 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:59.199 seven targets last week, but only three catches for twenty 0:08:59.240 --> 0:08:59.760 eight yards. 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.520 He did salvage a bit of value with the touchdown. 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:07.200 The non Drake London Falcons wide receivers last week against 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:10.320 the Jaguars had two catches for dight tedyard, zero touchdowns 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:12.520 on five targets. You are, of course keeping them on 0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:15.400 your bench. And in this game, the Falcons game script 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:18.240 is going to be run, run, run against his Texan defense. 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:20.480 Of course it's an Arthur Smith team, so we have 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:22.800 to talk about multiple tight ends. John new Smith, we're 0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:25.920 gonna give him a ce all right, that's my guy. Yeah, 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:28.800 last week against the Jaguars, cut all six targets for 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:30.000 ninety five yards. 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:32.360 The last three weeks, John. 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:35.680 New Smith twenty targets, Kyle Pitts eighteen targets. 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.040 I love it. I love it. Why isn't Brian Johnson 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:41.960 here for this? Killing me right now? 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:45.360 But Yeah, Smith ran routes on less than sixty percent 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:47.880 of the dropbacks last week, So I mean he went 0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:50.199 ballistic last week, but I'm not sure how sustainable that 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:52.559 you know, that production is. We're gonna keep playing that 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.400 kind of snapshare. And the Texans have allowed only one 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:57.920 touchdown two opposing tight ends this year, So we're giving 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:00.640 John hu a cee. We're also giving Kyle Pits to see. 0:10:01.000 --> 0:10:04.880 Kyle Pitts lowly sixty three point three PFF receiving grade 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:08.560 this year ranks three to third among qualified tight ends, 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:12.400 not the best. Kyle Pitts's yards per route run the 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:15.280 last three years two point zero two as a rookie 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:17.679 one point six to nine last year. He is down 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:20.360 to zero point nine to five so far this year. 0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:22.360 I mean not good. 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:25.120 And the Texans have also allowed the twelfth lowest yards 0:10:25.160 --> 0:10:28.040 per reception too opposing tight ends this year, so we'll 0:10:28.040 --> 0:10:30.680 get both those tight ends to see. The smash matchup 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:33.079 in this game is Bijon Robinson, of course, obviously a 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:36.559 Bijon's averaging eighteen point one touches and one hundred and 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:40.240 thirteen total yards per game. He's also number three amongst 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:43.600 all running backs in receiving grade and number two in targets. 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.480 Bjon Robinson his top ten in running backs and fantasy 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:49.439 points despite having scored only one touchdown so far. This 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:51.719 is a bad Texans run defense that has allowed the 0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:54.600 seventh highest explosive run rate in the league so far. 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.160 Bijon obviously hits home runs. I expect him to have 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:58.480 a couple explosive plays here. 0:10:58.920 --> 0:11:00.400 And Tyler l g is. 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:02.280 Another guy we're about to get back to because hes 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:04.120 might take a chance on me running back, all right, 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:08.240 Kansas City takes on Minnesota Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelcey obvious, 0:11:08.320 --> 0:11:11.280 as Vikings gave up two touchdowns to Donald Parham a 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.760 couple of weeks ago. So these guys are obviously in 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:15.559 play every week. I as for the rest of the 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:18.160 passing game, I can't put a bit starting great on anybody. 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:21.559 Some receiver, random receiver insert name here, probably has a 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.800 good name, a good game, but nobody gets more than 0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:27.760 sixty percent of the snaps and the target distribution for 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.600 the wide receivers for the Chiefs so scattershot that it's 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:34.960 just unguessable to wit. In four games this season, four 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:38.240 different Chiefs wide receivers have led the team in receiving yards. 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:41.040 So it's just, you know, it's not It's not that 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:43.400 I'm not smart enough. I don't know that the Chiefs 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:45.719 could even tell you which one receiver'd be the one 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:48.000 you'd want to start, and many times, many games there's 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:50.280 none that you'd want to start. But let's talk about 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:53.480 Isaiah Pacheco. Yeah, now we're talking baby. His touches have 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:57.240 increased in each game, and deservedly, so this might be 0:11:57.320 --> 0:11:59.800 though a little bit trickier matchup than it first appears. 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:02.640 A lot of people think of the Vikings nationally televised 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:04.920 game against the Eagles, in which DeAndre Swift ran up 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.520 and down the field on them. But in the the 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:11.319 nine non DeAndre Swift running backs to face, the Vikings 0:12:11.679 --> 0:12:15.880 have averaged two point six scoreless yards per carry. No 0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:19.319 other back has top forty one rushing yards against Minnesota. 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:23.679 Vikings have have a top ten run stuff win rate 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:27.280 according to ESPN. This is a decent run defense. So 0:12:27.440 --> 0:12:29.319 I don't know the Pacheco goes off here. 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:29.880 Now. 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:35.240 One other exciting development for Pacheco averaging three targets per 0:12:35.360 --> 0:12:39.360 game after seeing point six targets per game last year. 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:42.559 Love that, so we do love that. Now the counter 0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:45.440 side of that, the Vikings only allowing fifteen receiving yards 0:12:45.480 --> 0:12:48.880 per game to opposing running backs, second fewest. Still love 0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:52.120 the way he's playing. Running hard B grade Isaiah Pacheco. 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:53.800 Let's go to the Vikings. 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:58.720 Justin Jefferson TJ. Howkinson obvious as it goes without saying. 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.240 Chiefs have allowed at least six receptions and fifty five 0:13:01.320 --> 0:13:03.240 yards of tight ends in three of the four games 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.960 this year. Hackinson likely sitting on a very nice game. 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:09.480 Kirk Cousins also gets an A grade, leads all passers 0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:13.480 in the league in completions and touchdowns, and the Vikings 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:17.560 lead the league in passing rate. Game script likely helps 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:20.000 Cousins here, as the Vikings are presumed to fall behind early, 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:23.280 which has happened in losses to the similarly talented Chargers 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:26.679 and Eagles offense. That will ensure that Cousins Cousins ends 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:29.680 up throwing in this game. Unlike last week, Vikings pass 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:32.360 blocking has been better than previous years. Still not good, 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:35.240 but better. Only seven sacks and four games is a 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:38.720 big win for the oft battered Kirk Cousins, who comes 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:41.040 in with an A for this one. Sticking with the 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:45.679 passing game, I really struggle with Jordan Addison. He had 0:13:45.760 --> 0:13:48.839 one target last week, it was not completed and so 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:51.600 he ended up with a zero catch game. Not great. 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:53.439 I had given him a I believe a C grade. 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:56.880 Last week snapcount dropped way off, but as we mentioned 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.480 earlier in the show, they only threw nineteen balls. I 0:13:59.559 --> 0:14:01.839 think you probably throw forty in this game, So I 0:14:01.880 --> 0:14:04.360 think Addison's back on the radar with the C grade here. 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:06.560 He runs from all over the field, but he most 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:09.839 commonly will see Lugerius Snead cornerback for the Chiefs. He 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:12.640 hasn't allowed to touchdown, yet only giving up a fifty 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.040 six percent completion rate, which is good, but weirdly, he 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:18.600 ranks his Pro Football Focuses one hundred and thirty first 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:22.560 ranked quarterback. So maybe there's an opportunity here for Jordan Addison. 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:24.480 I'm going to move him in with a C grade. 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:30.480 And then lastly, Alexander Madison. Madison is has run better 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:34.000 the last couple of weeks. Chiefs middle linebacker Nick Bolton 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:37.360 has been ruled out the replacement, though Drew Trankwell has 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:42.800 been PFF's eleventh best run defending linebacker in his absence, 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:45.480 Kansas City has been pushed around at the point of 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:49.200 attack this season, earning Kansas City's third has got the 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:52.160 third worst run stuff rate, so maybe they get a 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.400 little something done here for the Vikings, Kansas City sees 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:57.360 the seventh fewest runs. Cam Akers started eating into the 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:01.040 workhorse role that Alexander Madison had previ viously had. That 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:04.000 part is not ideal either, so we're just coming in 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:07.560 with a C grade on Madison here. There is some opportunity, 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:10.760 but gamescript might work against him along with cam Aker's 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:15.080 developing role. When we come back, take. 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:15.600 A chance on me. 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:18.320 Nine players not normally in starting lineups. Will tell you 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:21.240 who they are what you can do with those guys 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:24.400 in this the first bye week of the NFL schedule. 0:15:24.520 --> 0:15:26.880 You need help off the waiver wire. We'll do that 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:58.280 when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Take a 0:15:58.400 --> 0:16:01.360 chance on me nine players you would not normally start. 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:03.360 We'll tell you who they are. Many of these are 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:06.120 going to be available off of the waiver wire in 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:10.080 your league and you might need the help this week. 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:13.840 Let's begin at the quarterback position and Matt Harrison. 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:15.800 We all need a lot of help for this one. 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:19.000 Zach Wilson as might take a chance on me quarterback. 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:21.960 There are some reasons to be optimistic. He's had more 0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:25.040 pass plays and a better completion percentage in three straight weeks, 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:29.320 while a scramble percentage and snap percentage and pressure percentage 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:32.480 have dropped in three straight weeks. Wilson's actually tied for 0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:35.640 eighth place and touchdown passes inside the ten yard line 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:38.480 this year, and he plays Denver this week, who have 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:41.640 the worst defensive unit in the NFL. Let's even take 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:44.720 out the seventy point game to Miami. The Broncos have 0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:47.520 allowed an average line of two hundred seventy eight yards 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:51.400 and two point seven passing scores to non to quarterbacks. 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:54.480 That's a lot. Oh and did we mention that current 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:58.720 Broncos head coach Sean Payton put former Broncos and current 0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:02.800 Jets offensive co ordinator Nathaniel Hackett on blast for doing 0:17:02.880 --> 0:17:05.440 the worst coaching job ever. You don't think the Jets 0:17:05.480 --> 0:17:07.520 have had this game circled since then? They're going to 0:17:07.600 --> 0:17:09.600 run up the score if they can against Sean Payton. 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:11.160 Well, if they can is a big question. 0:17:11.480 --> 0:17:15.560 I mean, you kind of can against that DFL as. 0:17:15.400 --> 0:17:18.119 You're right, you're right about that thor you take a 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:19.120 chance on me quarterback. 0:17:19.160 --> 0:17:22.359 I'm going with Brock Purdy against the Cowboys. Brock Perdy 0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:26.080 QB thirteen so far in Fantasy number one in the 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:30.480 NFL impasser rating, number four in Fantasy points per dropback. 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:34.159 In this matchup against the Cowboys, Dallas has allowed the 0:17:34.240 --> 0:17:37.040 tenth highest yards per attempt average in the NFL so far. 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:38.760 I think a big games coming for Brock Perdy. 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:43.000 Ryan Tannehill's best matchup of the year is this matchup 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:45.640 against the Colts. You remember in the offseason they lost 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:48.560 both of their starting cornerbacks steff On Gilmore to free 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:53.399 agency and Isaiah Rodgers to gambling, and now their current 0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:56.680 starting cornerback Dallas Flowers just went on ir so it 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:59.399 looks like they're going to have to either reinsert the 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:03.800 previous lead benched cornerback Darryl Baker, who allowed touchdowns in 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:06.880 both of his starts prior to his benching. Opposite him 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:10.920 is rookie cornerback Jude Juw Brent, who got his first 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:14.119 start last week and promptly allowed all five passes in 0:18:14.200 --> 0:18:16.560 his coverage to be caught along with a touchdown. It's 0:18:16.560 --> 0:18:21.400 an elite opportunity for Ryan Fitzpack. Sorry, no Stupiard's back. Yes, 0:18:21.440 --> 0:18:23.840 I would love to have stew Beer back Ryan Tannel 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:25.800 he could still play today. Let's go to the running 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:26.359 back position. 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:30.160 I'm gonna stick with the Jets and go with Dalvin Cook. 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:34.160 Last week, Bryce hallsaw only twenty six snaps and only 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:36.520 had six rushing attempts. That's a run on only twenty 0:18:36.600 --> 0:18:39.560 three percent of his snaps. Dalvin Cook, meanwhile, had a 0:18:39.640 --> 0:18:42.040 rushing attempt on thirty five percent of his snaps, and 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:44.200 Cook is the only Jets running back who had to 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:47.800 carry from inside the five this year. From a target perspective, 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:50.560 Cook has the exact same amount as Hall. Basically, when 0:18:50.600 --> 0:18:52.680 Cook is on the field, he's getting the ball and 0:18:52.760 --> 0:18:54.760 almost getting the same workload as Haul. Right now, and 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:57.840 insert the Broncos defense, who I'm gonna pick on all day. 0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:00.520 But let's take out that Miami game again where they 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:02.920 gave up three hundred and fifty one yards, ninety receiving 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:05.600 yards and eight total touchdowns of the Dolphins backs. Let's 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:08.960 take that out. Khalil Herbert total one hundred and twenty 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:11.560 two yards in a score last week. Brian Robinson at 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:13.600 one hundred and twenty nine total yards and two scores 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:15.280 in Week two. They're a siev. 0:19:15.800 --> 0:19:17.800 Well they are, and you took out there worse, Yeah, 0:19:17.840 --> 0:19:20.639 which is very very chivalrous. So I didn't even mention it, 0:19:20.720 --> 0:19:23.600 did I? No, no, no, let's go to Thori. You're 0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:25.600 take a chance to be running back. I'm going with 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:28.439 Tyler l Geer against the Texans. I like this one. 0:19:28.560 --> 0:19:30.240 Speaking of terrible run defenses. 0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:34.600 Yes, so, Tyler Elgier averaged fifteen point five rushing attempts 0:19:34.680 --> 0:19:37.480 in the first two games, but the last to only 0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:39.760 eight point five touch average per game. 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:42.000 Yeah, I think we get here's my thinking. 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:44.000 I think we get closer to the usage of the 0:19:44.080 --> 0:19:46.840 first two games with Aljeer in this one as opposed 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:49.919 to the last two and el Gier. Everybody out there 0:19:50.000 --> 0:19:52.440 knows he's a tackle breaker who's got juice after he 0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:55.119 breaks it. Right now, it ranks fifteenth in the NFL 0:19:55.200 --> 0:19:58.320 in yards after contact per attempt. Mentioned the Texans run 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:00.840 defense is terrible, and I mentioned before, I think this 0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:04.000 game script flips super duper run heavy for Atlanta. 0:20:04.240 --> 0:20:05.760 I think that's where al Jieer can come in and 0:20:05.800 --> 0:20:06.600 put up some numbers. 0:20:07.080 --> 0:20:10.120 I've got Gus Edwards. His touches have increased in every game, 0:20:10.200 --> 0:20:13.160 which is particularly notable since Justice Hill returned last week. 0:20:13.480 --> 0:20:15.560 He's dinged up. We'll try to play. We don't know 0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:18.520 for sure how much he can contribute. Didn't take anything 0:20:18.520 --> 0:20:22.879 away from Gus. Last week, Steelers allowing one hundred and 0:20:22.960 --> 0:20:26.200 twenty seven rushing yards per game to opposing running backs 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:29.600 on four point nine yards per carry, that is second 0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:32.560 and third worst in the league. Now notable for Gus 0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:35.200 He's had just one carry from inside the five yard line. 0:20:35.400 --> 0:20:36.880 Lamar Jackson had two last week. 0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:38.040 That is not cool. 0:20:38.720 --> 0:20:41.159 Jackson wasn't used inside the five at all under previous 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:45.200 offensive coordinator Greg Roman, but new offensive coordinator Todd Munkin 0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:47.800 apparently feels a little bit differently about using Jackson near 0:20:47.840 --> 0:20:50.160 the stripe. And I don't like it because we want 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:52.080 Gus Edwards to have a nice game here. I still 0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:54.320 think he can even if he doesn't score. The Gus Busson, 0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:57.280 I love the Gus spot. Yeah, guys on, all he's 0:20:57.280 --> 0:20:59.800 done is average five yards per carry in every one 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:02.960 his seasons. Matt, you take a chance with me wide receiver? 0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:04.400 Are you giving us two jets? Who are you going 0:21:04.440 --> 0:21:04.719 with now? 0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:05.200 Haha? 0:21:05.400 --> 0:21:08.239 Broncos, I'm giving you Tyler Conklin as a tight end. 0:21:08.440 --> 0:21:08.720 Okay. 0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:11.879 While they're the worst team in the league against quarterbacks 0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:14.399 and running backs, they're the second worst team in the 0:21:14.480 --> 0:21:16.760 league against tight ends. And oh, by the way, two 0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:19.840 of their opponents decided they didn't even need to throw 0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:21.680 to the tight end to beat them. The Raiders and 0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:25.520 Dolphins combined for two catches against the Broncos. Still, Denver 0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:27.960 has allowed the sixth most yards and the seventh most 0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:31.320 and the second most scores to the position, including seven 0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:33.960 catches eighty five yards and two touchdowns the Cole Comet 0:21:34.160 --> 0:21:37.600 last week. Conklin's getting a target on seventeen percent of 0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:40.320 his routes run. That's the same as Dallas Goddard and 0:21:40.440 --> 0:21:43.480 Darren Waller. He's also flexed out to the slot on 0:21:43.600 --> 0:21:45.640 thirty three percent of his snaps this season and has 0:21:45.680 --> 0:21:48.920 a robust four point nine yards after contact. They like 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:53.040 Tyler Conklin to get involved today. Tyler Conklin for Sunday. 0:21:52.760 --> 0:21:57.119 You've gone Jets, Jets, Jets, j Ets, Jets, Jets, Jets. 0:21:57.680 --> 0:22:01.480 It's kind of lazy. Yeah, yeah, thor you're taking chance 0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:04.080 on me wide receiver. Let's talk about Bobby Trees. 0:22:04.560 --> 0:22:04.760 Yeah. 0:22:05.119 --> 0:22:08.880 Texans playing the Falcons this week. Woods leads the Texans 0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:12.439 in target share the last three games the week. Here 0:22:12.600 --> 0:22:14.520 here's the thinking on this one. The week link on 0:22:14.600 --> 0:22:18.000 the Falcons defense is their nickel corner d Alford, who 0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:21.560 is allowing a seventy seven point three percent catch rate 0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:24.040 and get this one hundred and twenty five point eight 0:22:24.200 --> 0:22:26.240 passer rating against on targets. 0:22:26.640 --> 0:22:27.240 I think CJ. 0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:29.760 Stroud, who has already been looking Woods is way quite 0:22:29.760 --> 0:22:33.400 a bit, is additionally incentivized in this game to pick 0:22:33.480 --> 0:22:36.120 on d Alford. I think you might see Woods lead 0:22:36.160 --> 0:22:38.280 the team in targets again. He might take a chance 0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:39.040 on me wide receiver. 0:22:40.359 --> 0:22:43.399 Matt, you went Jets, Jets, Jets, Yeah, and then you 0:22:43.520 --> 0:22:45.440 made fun of me for it. Yes I did. Yeah, 0:22:45.560 --> 0:22:48.359 I'm going Jets wide receives. 0:22:48.400 --> 0:22:51.879 Oh no, that's just cruel. Just you knew you were 0:22:51.960 --> 0:22:52.280 doing that. 0:22:52.400 --> 0:22:53.000 Yes, I knew. 0:22:53.720 --> 0:22:56.760 The Jets offense obviously has looked looked better last week. 0:22:56.800 --> 0:22:59.560 Here's Lore's the Lazard story. His lowest snappering in any 0:22:59.600 --> 0:23:03.160 game this year seventy eight percent. He's always on the field. 0:23:03.440 --> 0:23:07.200 He's getting a reasonably healthy fifteen percent target share. Alan 0:23:07.240 --> 0:23:10.480 Lazard not exactly known as a deep downfield threat, averaging 0:23:10.600 --> 0:23:12.120 seventeen yards per reception. 0:23:12.760 --> 0:23:13.160 Not bad. 0:23:13.480 --> 0:23:16.320 Broncos give up over thirteen yards per reception, one and 0:23:16.359 --> 0:23:18.960 a half touchdowns per game, twenty eight fantasy points per 0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:22.400 game to wide receivers, and best of all star cornerback 0:23:22.520 --> 0:23:24.840 Patrick certain is going to spend all of his time 0:23:24.920 --> 0:23:29.080 on Garrett Wilson. Of course, that means Alan Lazard is 0:23:29.160 --> 0:23:33.000 going to see the worst starting cornerback in the league, 0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:37.919 Damari Mathis. Mathis has allowed the third most receiving yards 0:23:38.000 --> 0:23:40.760 and the most touchdowns in his coverage four of them. 0:23:40.840 --> 0:23:44.840 Already is giving up an opposer passer rating of one 0:23:45.000 --> 0:23:48.960 hundred and fifty four perfect, or guess worse would be 0:23:49.000 --> 0:23:51.400 one hundred and fifty would be the worst possible passerating. 0:23:51.400 --> 0:23:54.480 He's at one hundred and fifty four. Yeah, Alan Laz close, 0:23:54.920 --> 0:23:57.240 I'm starting Alan Lazard a couple of my guillotine leagues, 0:23:57.720 --> 0:23:59.720 putting my neck on the line. 0:24:02.000 --> 0:24:04.119 Wow, now this just in. 0:24:05.480 --> 0:24:09.320 There's a game being played in ye old London town. 0:24:09.440 --> 0:24:10.600 Oh should I go get him? 0:24:11.280 --> 0:24:16.719 Colin mccoughney, maybe you're only twenty three debut. Yes, our 0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:21.440 London correspondent happens to be here in studio making a 0:24:21.600 --> 0:24:26.560 visit to the Twin Cities due to unspecified medical issues 0:24:26.840 --> 0:24:32.200 required to go to the Mayo Clinic. Hallo gov'nor Colin mccockney, 0:24:32.280 --> 0:24:33.560 it's so good to have you back. 0:24:33.680 --> 0:24:36.399 It's me I'm callin. I'm here to get the winner. 0:24:36.440 --> 0:24:39.680 Ain't I gotta bag a few apples and pears with 0:24:39.800 --> 0:24:42.639 them strikers to get y'all sorted for the fantasy footy 0:24:42.920 --> 0:24:44.080 now thor just so. 0:24:44.160 --> 0:24:46.480 You know, because I never know what he's saying, I 0:24:46.600 --> 0:24:49.480 need you to be the translator and to help me 0:24:49.560 --> 0:24:52.240 understand what Colin is saying, because I never have any idea. Yeah, 0:24:53.200 --> 0:24:59.120 I speak the King's English. Colin's speaking some absurd slang 0:24:59.400 --> 0:25:02.240 version that seems to have come out of a some 0:25:02.560 --> 0:25:04.359 gutter in London somewhere. 0:25:04.600 --> 0:25:07.760 Yeah, Kittie Kats and Buffy the Slayer at Rock Solid. 0:25:08.280 --> 0:25:12.120 You looking at CHOCHI didn't you want some Colin? What's 0:25:12.240 --> 0:25:14.040 his name, Thunder mcgovna. 0:25:13.960 --> 0:25:14.640 That is my name. 0:25:14.760 --> 0:25:17.800 I think Colin's saying hello, and I believe he's about 0:25:17.840 --> 0:25:20.000 to do the London match between the Jaguars and Bells. 0:25:20.240 --> 0:25:22.800 Oh all right, good, let's start on the Jaguars side. 0:25:22.840 --> 0:25:26.400 Colin, Nice try Thundy, clever Mike and a gypsy's kiss, 0:25:27.160 --> 0:25:31.159 Trevy Larry on a sea shanty, smashing chest hair hedges 0:25:31.200 --> 0:25:34.040 and Billy's beans. Blimey, he ain't me captain. 0:25:34.600 --> 0:25:36.480 So he just said that Trevor Lawrence is getting a 0:25:36.560 --> 0:25:39.560 C grade in this matchup. He's only throwing four touchdown 0:25:39.600 --> 0:25:42.160 passes this year and the Bills have only allowed three. 0:25:42.480 --> 0:25:44.280 Then I think he said the Bills are currently top 0:25:44.359 --> 0:25:48.080 five in every category against opposing quarterbacks. Colin also said 0:25:48.480 --> 0:25:51.080 he'd rather have Trevor Lawrence on the bench if he 0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:51.840 had his Drawthers. 0:25:52.680 --> 0:25:58.800 Yeah, yeah, Noice work, Thundy, Galico, Cat, Ridley Scotton, man 0:25:58.920 --> 0:26:02.080 of God, Kirker, pair of Jimmy Choos in their proper 0:26:02.280 --> 0:26:03.640 Belton Eighth Night Chachie. 0:26:04.040 --> 0:26:06.719 He's saying the matchups for the Jaguars receivers here got 0:26:06.760 --> 0:26:09.119 a little better with Tredevius White going down to an 0:26:09.160 --> 0:26:12.320 achilles injury. It's also saying Kelvin Ridley will draw Dame 0:26:12.440 --> 0:26:15.119 Jackson most often he replaces White and is a. 0:26:15.160 --> 0:26:17.200 League average corner according to PFF. 0:26:17.480 --> 0:26:19.600 He went on to say, from the slot, Christian Kirk 0:26:19.720 --> 0:26:22.159 is gonna see Taron Johnson here, who's been who has 0:26:22.200 --> 0:26:25.359 been the Bill's highest rated corner outside of White. Still, 0:26:25.440 --> 0:26:27.720 this isn't a great matchup for either, and I believe 0:26:27.800 --> 0:26:29.439 Colin gave both of them C grades. 0:26:29.600 --> 0:26:32.120 I'm pretty sure he mentioned Ridley Scott at some point 0:26:32.200 --> 0:26:36.080 in here, notable director of films like Blade Runner in Alien. 0:26:36.560 --> 0:26:38.520 I don't know how that. I don't know how that 0:26:38.600 --> 0:26:40.880 worked in there, but I swear I heard Ridley. 0:26:40.680 --> 0:26:45.959 Scott Jammy Dodger and we're ready for Tottenham pints. Foggy 0:26:46.080 --> 0:26:49.640 underwearing a base and a gravy for Travy Marvel. He's 0:26:49.720 --> 0:26:51.359 the dog's bollocks, no doubt. 0:26:51.520 --> 0:26:54.439 He's saying the bills weakness is the run, and Travis 0:26:54.520 --> 0:26:57.120 Eten gets an A grade in this one. Then Colin 0:26:57.160 --> 0:26:59.360 went on to say Buffalo has allowed five point nine 0:26:59.400 --> 0:27:01.680 yards per CAKI on the year, which is the worst 0:27:01.760 --> 0:27:04.320 in the entire league. But then he said they're only 0:27:04.400 --> 0:27:07.880 seeing about sixteen rushing attempts per game, which is amongst. 0:27:07.520 --> 0:27:08.480 The lowest in the league. 0:27:08.720 --> 0:27:11.120 Et And has had at least eighteen carries in three 0:27:11.200 --> 0:27:14.160 of four games. So Colin's expecting the Jaguars to try 0:27:14.200 --> 0:27:16.240 to control the pace with et and I believe what 0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:18.480 he was saying. And he also went on to say 0:27:18.520 --> 0:27:21.040 we're not going to get as much of Tank Bigsby though, 0:27:21.200 --> 0:27:23.679 because he's getting all he's getting all of the carries 0:27:23.720 --> 0:27:25.560 inside five yards, but nothing else. 0:27:25.960 --> 0:27:28.560 And the Bills have only allowed to rushing touchdowns so 0:27:28.720 --> 0:27:29.280 far this year. 0:27:29.720 --> 0:27:34.239 I'm pretty sure I heard when the phrase botlocks came up. 0:27:34.359 --> 0:27:36.800 I'm pretty sure that was Tank Bigsby right there. 0:27:36.880 --> 0:27:37.400 That was that part. 0:27:37.520 --> 0:27:42.520 Yeah, yeah, yeah, tanks one nott in tanks, no two 0:27:42.640 --> 0:27:46.720 ways about it. Can't have any Mickey mouses in your blouses. 0:27:47.280 --> 0:27:50.400 Stephan Al have gone all jam tart on me nobbies 0:27:50.800 --> 0:27:54.440 cause Jimmy the lemon merchant is selling apples. That top 0:27:54.600 --> 0:27:55.200 choice mate. 0:27:55.880 --> 0:27:58.800 Oh, I mean obviously everyone heard it. He's saying, Josh 0:27:58.840 --> 0:28:01.160 Allen and Stefan Diggs are grades in this game. 0:28:01.320 --> 0:28:04.240 Yes, gotta be prop on, no two ways about it. 0:28:04.520 --> 0:28:08.800 Davy Gabe is a submarine captain and Sherfield Wednesday make 0:28:08.920 --> 0:28:11.240 Coppin Oily rag for Austin Martin. 0:28:11.440 --> 0:28:13.680 Yet now what he's saying is Gabe Davis only gets 0:28:13.680 --> 0:28:15.720 a c gray because Davis is lining up on the 0:28:15.800 --> 0:28:19.840 outside most often. We're he'll match up against Jacksonville's Darius Williams. 0:28:20.200 --> 0:28:21.840 Colin also went on to say, there who is the 0:28:21.960 --> 0:28:27.200 top PFF rated cornerback in the league from PFF in 0:28:27.280 --> 0:28:29.399 one hundred and sixty two snaps, he's allowed only eleven 0:28:29.520 --> 0:28:31.840 receptions and leads the league and pass it broken up 0:28:31.880 --> 0:28:35.320 with five. And that slot receiver tren Sherfield is going 0:28:35.400 --> 0:28:38.640 to get a seat as well because he's facing Trey Herndon, 0:28:38.920 --> 0:28:42.320 who is Jacksonville's best slot corner. Herndon has allowed a 0:28:42.800 --> 0:28:45.120 one to fifty one passer rating in his slot coverage 0:28:45.120 --> 0:28:47.720 and two touchdowns so far this year. By the numbers, 0:28:47.760 --> 0:28:50.000 he's been the worst slot corner in the league, even 0:28:50.000 --> 0:28:51.360 if he might be Jacksonville's best. 0:28:52.040 --> 0:28:56.000 Even the smolly bums ain't talking about Willis Dalzy and 0:28:56.120 --> 0:28:56.600 Dalty B. 0:28:56.760 --> 0:28:57.160 Franks. 0:28:57.200 --> 0:28:57.920 That be salty. 0:28:58.360 --> 0:29:00.720 Now he's talking about Dawson Knox, who has been limited 0:29:00.840 --> 0:29:03.640 in practice all week with a quad injury. Let's fire 0:29:03.720 --> 0:29:06.959 up Dalton Kincaid with a C grade here, Jacksonville has 0:29:07.000 --> 0:29:09.800 allowed the fourth most receptions and third most yards two 0:29:09.880 --> 0:29:12.160 opposing tight ends. And then he went on to say 0:29:12.200 --> 0:29:15.080 the King Kaid split snaps with Knox last last week, 0:29:15.120 --> 0:29:17.360 but the Kinkaid ran routes on seventy nine percent of 0:29:17.400 --> 0:29:17.880 his snaps. 0:29:18.200 --> 0:29:21.320 Wake os, dustbin lids and pull up ye lions, lay on, 0:29:21.480 --> 0:29:25.280 Let oh Collie boy give a Lumpyes, but Colin thinks 0:29:25.360 --> 0:29:28.920 d as a fisherman's data Old Jimmy the chef gets 0:29:29.040 --> 0:29:29.920 helped to scouta. 0:29:30.120 --> 0:29:32.080 So what he's saying here is that he only has 0:29:32.120 --> 0:29:33.960 a C grade on James Cook. 0:29:34.320 --> 0:29:37.400 He's leading a three way time share with Latavius Murray 0:29:37.560 --> 0:29:40.320 and Damian Harris for snaps, but only on the field 0:29:40.360 --> 0:29:42.840 for about forty percent of the snaps right now, and 0:29:42.960 --> 0:29:44.880 outside of Bijon Robinson's good day. 0:29:44.800 --> 0:29:46.040 Last week, the Jaguars have. 0:29:46.080 --> 0:29:50.200 Held opposing backs mostly in check, allowing seventy one rushing 0:29:50.280 --> 0:29:52.440 yards per game only and only one touchdown so far 0:29:52.560 --> 0:29:56.360 total this season. Those numbers don't split three ways. All 0:29:56.520 --> 0:29:58.480 that well, I believe, is how we wrap that up. 0:29:58.880 --> 0:30:00.760 OI got dream team? 0:30:00.840 --> 0:30:04.880 Sort it?

We're gonna take a break 0:30:26.240 --> 0:30:29.880 when we come back. And thanks again to Colin. Saints 0:30:29.960 --> 0:30:34.400 taking on the new England Patriots. Man, this Patriots team 0:30:35.160 --> 0:30:39.240 nearing rock bottom? Is there anybody to play? This is 0:30:39.360 --> 0:30:41.560 Bill Belichick and to quit in the middle of the game. 0:30:42.320 --> 0:30:45.800 We'll find out when we come back. Fantasy Football Weekly. 0:31:09.800 --> 0:31:13.600 Another big block of matchups coming. Fantasy Football Weekly.

New Guillotine Leagues being formed virtually every day 0:31:25.040 --> 0:31:28.160 Guillotine Leagues dot Com. Fourteen weeks left in the season, 0:31:28.160 --> 0:31:29.520 there's still a lot of time to play. 0:31:29.920 --> 0:31:31.880 I can't believe I'm still alive in all four of them. 0:31:32.680 --> 0:31:36.080 Done all right, baby, yeah, I love it. Well done. 0:31:36.840 --> 0:31:39.640 Let's jump into the Saints taking on New England. Derek 0:31:39.680 --> 0:31:42.200 Carr looked not right last week, and I feel like 0:31:42.240 --> 0:31:46.080 they brought him back a week too early. They hopefully here, 0:31:46.400 --> 0:31:50.040 you know, the shoulders stronger, you can throw better. Patriots 0:31:50.120 --> 0:31:52.600 defense had a huge blow at the loss of Christian 0:31:52.640 --> 0:31:55.640 Gonzales and Matthew Judon. I mean, you know, you just 0:31:55.680 --> 0:31:57.640 took the best guy to the secondary and their best 0:31:57.640 --> 0:32:00.360 pass rusher off the field. So you know, what had 0:32:00.400 --> 0:32:02.840 been a stout New England defense, I feel like now 0:32:03.000 --> 0:32:04.640 is a lot more vulnerable. What do you think for 0:32:04.720 --> 0:32:05.080 this game? 0:32:05.480 --> 0:32:07.560 It definitely could be, but I think you have to 0:32:07.640 --> 0:32:10.120 keep Derek Carr on the bench in this game. He's 0:32:10.200 --> 0:32:14.000 officially questionable with that shoulder injury the Charger was referring to. 0:32:14.280 --> 0:32:16.719 Does look likely that car will play, but keep him 0:32:16.760 --> 0:32:17.720 on the bench anyway. 0:32:18.120 --> 0:32:20.320 To charge his previous point about the way he looked 0:32:20.400 --> 0:32:23.600 last week, the CARSA dot dropped from ten the first 0:32:23.680 --> 0:32:25.600 three games to seven last week. 0:32:25.720 --> 0:32:27.640 Three yards last Chris. 0:32:27.560 --> 0:32:31.800 O'lave I'm giving him a b Olave ranks number ten 0:32:31.920 --> 0:32:35.280 in the league in receiving grade three point six yards 0:32:35.320 --> 0:32:38.360 per route run against man coverage, which is important in 0:32:38.440 --> 0:32:42.040 this game because the Patriots defense is super man coverage heavy, 0:32:42.480 --> 0:32:45.600 and that secondary also has injuries like Charge was mentioning, 0:32:46.320 --> 0:32:48.800 and they're going to be forced to immediately insert J. C. 0:32:49.040 --> 0:32:50.000 Jackson into this game. 0:32:50.040 --> 0:32:52.320 With you think he's gonna play already in this game. 0:32:52.440 --> 0:32:53.960 I do, just because all the injuries bad. 0:32:54.080 --> 0:32:57.280 So JAC Jackson's going to go from healthy scratch yes 0:32:57.480 --> 0:33:02.200 on over to maybe starting or at least getting insignificant reps. 0:33:02.320 --> 0:33:03.880 Yeah, and Bill Belichick and maybe. 0:33:03.720 --> 0:33:06.640 Across from Chris o'lave on some of those reps. But 0:33:07.120 --> 0:33:09.880 for all Loby, the weak offensive environment of this game 0:33:09.960 --> 0:33:12.400 and the questions I have about Car's ability to get 0:33:12.440 --> 0:33:14.920 it downfield with that shoulder injury, that's what make him 0:33:14.920 --> 0:33:15.560 a Bee for me. 0:33:16.120 --> 0:33:18.880 I'm gonna give Michael Thomas a volume C grade. 0:33:19.400 --> 0:33:22.520 Thomas only has one point one yards per route run 0:33:22.680 --> 0:33:26.240 against man coverage, but he does have one basically a 0:33:26.280 --> 0:33:29.200 one third first read share versus man, so they are 0:33:29.360 --> 0:33:31.680 throwing him the ball. It's just he's not doing a 0:33:31.760 --> 0:33:34.760 ton with those targets against man. I do expect the 0:33:34.840 --> 0:33:38.080 volume to keep up here for Thomas against that Patriots defense, 0:33:38.360 --> 0:33:40.560 and with the injuries that we've mentioned. I think that's 0:33:40.600 --> 0:33:44.240 what makes Thomas potentially playable. Unfortunately, I do not think 0:33:44.280 --> 0:33:46.640 the same for chargingized boy Rashid Shaki. 0:33:46.920 --> 0:33:49.120 We love him, but he needs downfield passing. 0:33:49.280 --> 0:33:50.360 He absolutely does. 0:33:50.440 --> 0:33:52.920 And the New England's man cover scheme, to your point, 0:33:53.080 --> 0:33:54.480 they take away the deep ball. 0:33:54.600 --> 0:33:55.560 I mean, that's just what they do. 0:33:55.960 --> 0:33:59.240 In addition to that, Shahit is the Saints' deep ball 0:33:59.360 --> 0:34:02.240 zone killer. That's what the game seat goes often because 0:34:02.280 --> 0:34:04.040 he can get deep beyond there and take the top 0:34:04.120 --> 0:34:07.480 off the defense. But Shahit only has zero point three 0:34:07.760 --> 0:34:10.640 yards per route run against man coverage this year. 0:34:11.080 --> 0:34:11.759 That is not good. 0:34:11.880 --> 0:34:13.759 Keep him on your bench. You also have to keep 0:34:13.800 --> 0:34:16.480 all the Saints tight ends on your bench. Juwan Johnson 0:34:16.520 --> 0:34:18.480 has a calf injury. Jimmy Graham may or may not 0:34:18.640 --> 0:34:21.839 start bench Both the Patriots are awesome against opposing tight 0:34:21.920 --> 0:34:24.400 ends and have been for a long time. Alvin Kamara, 0:34:24.520 --> 0:34:26.520 I'm giving him a grade to be in this game. 0:34:26.920 --> 0:34:30.279 Last week, first game back from his suspension, eighty four 0:34:30.360 --> 0:34:33.239 total yards on seventy five percent of the snaps to 0:34:33.360 --> 0:34:38.080 finish his fantasy's RB nine. He had thirteen catches in 0:34:38.200 --> 0:34:41.880 that game, unbelievable as Derek Carr became checked down Charlote 0:34:42.280 --> 0:34:43.320 with the Shelder injury. 0:34:44.000 --> 0:34:45.720 But in this game here for Kamara. 0:34:45.800 --> 0:34:48.560 The Patriots have a strong run defense that ranks number 0:34:48.680 --> 0:34:51.879 three in the league in stuff right. The Patriots also 0:34:51.960 --> 0:34:55.600 suppress receiving running backs. They've allowed the eighth lowest yards 0:34:55.640 --> 0:34:58.960 per reception to opposing running backs this year. Moving on 0:34:59.120 --> 0:35:02.839 to the Patriots of the baw the entire passing game, 0:35:03.000 --> 0:35:05.240 I advise you to keep on the bench Mac Jones, 0:35:05.360 --> 0:35:08.640 DeVante Parker, Juju Smith, Schuster, Hunter, Henry, all of them. 0:35:08.960 --> 0:35:09.959 Keep them all on the bench. 0:35:10.400 --> 0:35:13.080 The only guy that I think is fantasy playable in 0:35:13.200 --> 0:35:16.000 this game is Ramondre Stevenson, who is not having a 0:35:16.120 --> 0:35:19.200 very good season so far, but just on the volume here. 0:35:19.120 --> 0:35:20.080 I'm giving him a bee. 0:35:20.640 --> 0:35:24.480 Ramonder's averaging eighteen touches and sixty two point eight total 0:35:24.600 --> 0:35:27.520 yards per game with zero explosive runs. 0:35:27.520 --> 0:35:29.160 Hopefully that changes at some point. 0:35:29.480 --> 0:35:30.279 He's a good back. 0:35:30.400 --> 0:35:31.359 He's a very good back. 0:35:31.440 --> 0:35:35.160 Yeah, forty second out of fifty eight qualifying running backs 0:35:35.200 --> 0:35:37.640 in misforce tackles per attempt. For me, that's the bigger 0:35:37.680 --> 0:35:39.839 surprise than the zero explosive runs. I mean that kid's 0:35:39.880 --> 0:35:40.680 a tackle breaker. 0:35:40.840 --> 0:35:41.040 Yeah. 0:35:41.280 --> 0:35:43.360 Decent matchup in this game, though, which is why I 0:35:43.440 --> 0:35:44.160 tick him up to the B. 0:35:44.239 --> 0:35:46.400 In addition to the volume, the Patriots are going to 0:35:46.480 --> 0:35:49.120 feed him against what is a middling Saints run defense. 0:35:49.239 --> 0:35:51.400 The Saints pass defense is really good. There's only one 0:35:51.480 --> 0:35:53.799 route for New England here, which is just run the ball. 0:35:53.920 --> 0:35:55.040 That's going to benefit Remondre. 0:35:55.280 --> 0:35:58.040 Yeah. Ramonder's got a thigh injury that we're monitoring. Managed 0:35:58.080 --> 0:35:59.759 to practice every day during the week. We think he 0:35:59.800 --> 0:36:02.640 will be able to go in this game. Baltimore takes 0:36:02.680 --> 0:36:05.080 on Pittsburgh. The Ravens offensive line dealing with a bunch 0:36:05.080 --> 0:36:09.480 of injuries. You want to double check on Morgan Moses, Tyler, Linderbaum, 0:36:09.600 --> 0:36:11.719 Ronnie Stanley, all guys. You'll want to double check their 0:36:11.760 --> 0:36:15.320 status here. Assuming that this line's been at least some 0:36:15.640 --> 0:36:19.719 semblance of order. Then there's some playable angles here. Let's 0:36:19.719 --> 0:36:22.200 start with Mark Andrews. He just rocked a much better 0:36:22.280 --> 0:36:25.160 Cleveland defense for a couple of scores. Pittsburgh has only 0:36:25.200 --> 0:36:28.920 allowed eleven receptions to tight ends, but ten yards per reception, 0:36:29.040 --> 0:36:32.360 so we like that. In Andrews's last four performances against 0:36:32.360 --> 0:36:34.799 the Steelers, He's top fifty yards three times, which is good. 0:36:34.840 --> 0:36:36.319 And in two of those games he had really big 0:36:36.360 --> 0:36:39.920 games eight receptions for eighty yards or better. They faced 0:36:40.040 --> 0:36:43.799 in Andrews level talent. George Kittle earlier this year held 0:36:43.840 --> 0:36:45.759 him to nineteen yards. So I've only got the B 0:36:45.840 --> 0:36:48.640 great and Andrews's tight end wasteland. You obviously have to 0:36:48.680 --> 0:36:50.279 start him. It's not a great matchup, it's a good 0:36:50.360 --> 0:36:53.320 decent matchup. B great Mark Andrews. Say Flowers is the 0:36:53.360 --> 0:36:55.799 other guy that you care about Steelers. In the passing game, 0:36:55.840 --> 0:36:59.000 Steelers are allowing the fourth most yards and second most 0:36:59.080 --> 0:37:02.239 touchdowns per game to wide receivers. Steelers are tied for 0:37:02.320 --> 0:37:05.320 the fourth most Fantasy points per game allowed to wide receivers, 0:37:05.360 --> 0:37:09.359 and despite his small size, Jay Flowers tied for fourth 0:37:09.440 --> 0:37:12.280 in red zone targets I did not expect Zay Flowers 0:37:12.320 --> 0:37:15.200 to be a red zone guy. That's been a nice development. 0:37:15.760 --> 0:37:17.880 I runs from all parts of the field and that 0:37:17.960 --> 0:37:21.120 he's really He's got plus individual matchups against all three 0:37:21.360 --> 0:37:27.120 struggling Steelers cornerbacks. There's Patrick Peterson, Chandon Sullivan, Levi Wallace. 0:37:27.800 --> 0:37:31.799 They've got pro football focused cornerback rankings of seventy fourth, 0:37:31.960 --> 0:37:35.640 one hundred and fourth, and one hundred and fifteenth. That's 0:37:35.760 --> 0:37:39.360 not great. So Jay Flowers be great for him. Rashad 0:37:39.400 --> 0:37:41.360 Bateman appears he's going to be able to go in 0:37:41.480 --> 0:37:43.440 this game, and I look, and I want to understand 0:37:43.440 --> 0:37:45.919 you if you don't even consider Rashod Baman been given 0:37:46.000 --> 0:37:48.719 his light usage so far and his injuries. But as 0:37:48.800 --> 0:37:52.080 I mentioned, fantastic matchup against these cornerbacks. So if you're 0:37:52.080 --> 0:37:55.640 looking for a potential dart throw, Rashad Bateman might be 0:37:55.760 --> 0:37:59.480 your guy here. OBJ however, still not one hundred percent 0:37:59.520 --> 0:38:01.479 off his zank injury and he's done nothing. I gotta 0:38:01.560 --> 0:38:04.760 leave him on the bench. That from a passing game standpoint. 0:38:04.800 --> 0:38:08.600 The last guy to talk about Lamar Jackson a grade. 0:38:08.920 --> 0:38:11.200 The last two quarterbacks to face the Steelers have thrown 0:38:11.280 --> 0:38:14.600 for three hundred plus yards and multiple touchdowns, and that 0:38:14.760 --> 0:38:16.920 was c. J. Stroud and Jimmy Garoppolo, by the way. 0:38:17.360 --> 0:38:21.320 As a result, Pittsburgh's currently bottom eight in passing yards 0:38:21.360 --> 0:38:24.680 and passing touchdowns allowed. Jackson did not face the Steelers 0:38:24.760 --> 0:38:26.560 last season, but he has rushed for at least fifty 0:38:26.600 --> 0:38:28.960 five yards in each of his last three games against them. 0:38:28.960 --> 0:38:30.719 If you go back a little bit, and of course 0:38:30.760 --> 0:38:33.799 had the big rushing game last week. Lamar Jackson getting 0:38:33.880 --> 0:38:35.800 used near the goal line. As we discussed in the 0:38:35.920 --> 0:38:38.400 Gus Edwards take a chance on Me segment earlier in 0:38:38.520 --> 0:38:40.400 this show. He comes in with a C grade for 0:38:40.480 --> 0:38:44.680 this one. Now we go to Pittsburgh, h Kenny Pickett's 0:38:44.719 --> 0:38:46.040 going to play. Not that it matters. 0:38:46.360 --> 0:38:46.919 That's a shame. 0:38:47.040 --> 0:38:50.239 Yeah, the entire passing attack is on the bench, regardless 0:38:50.239 --> 0:38:52.560 of quarterback. You're not starting any part of this, this 0:38:52.680 --> 0:38:55.480 passing attack, and especially not an increasingly healthy and good 0:38:55.840 --> 0:38:59.480 Ravens secondary. Even with healthy Kenny Pickett, the Steelers a 0:38:59.520 --> 0:39:02.320 bottom set even in passing yards, completion rate, and passing 0:39:02.400 --> 0:39:06.520 touchdowns in the league. The Ravens have hammered similarly woeful opponents, 0:39:06.760 --> 0:39:09.280 allowing averages are just two hundred and three passing yards 0:39:09.320 --> 0:39:12.440 and zero point eight passing touchdowns per game. No Pat 0:39:12.520 --> 0:39:15.879 Fryer mouth in this game, But Darnell Washington's gonna get 0:39:15.920 --> 0:39:21.080 time or you know. I love the big o Darnell Washington, 0:39:21.280 --> 0:39:24.640 huge target, gigantic target, normous, So I'm excited to see 0:39:24.680 --> 0:39:27.360 what he does, even though I can't advocate for starting 0:39:27.440 --> 0:39:28.200 Darnell Washington. 0:39:28.280 --> 0:39:30.480 No, I'm just disappointed that we didn't get a sad 0:39:30.560 --> 0:39:33.640 trombone ski game so you could really get the sounders going. 0:39:33.719 --> 0:39:34.960 You think I wasn't waiting on that. 0:39:35.160 --> 0:39:35.360 I know. 0:39:35.480 --> 0:39:37.920 I gotta check on Matt Canada's burner on Twitter to 0:39:37.920 --> 0:39:40.080 see how many targets Washington's gonna get. 0:39:40.360 --> 0:39:43.600 Oh man, I so much wish he'd go see he 0:39:43.640 --> 0:39:46.120 would have landed someplace else, ye low, to see what 0:39:46.200 --> 0:39:48.680 he could do. Let's talk about the only parts of 0:39:48.680 --> 0:39:51.080 the Pittsburgh offense you care about, the running back position. 0:39:51.480 --> 0:39:54.680 Najee Harris is the league leader in line of scrimmage 0:39:54.800 --> 0:39:58.360 stuffs twenty seven percent. That's a great stat that is, 0:39:58.480 --> 0:40:01.160 isn't it The line of scrimmage stuff? It sounds like 0:40:01.200 --> 0:40:03.840 an oreo, it does. Yeah, the line of scrimmage double 0:40:03.920 --> 0:40:07.440 stuff little helmets on the On the cookie, Steelers are 0:40:07.480 --> 0:40:10.440 twenty ninth and run block win rate, which is not good. 0:40:10.560 --> 0:40:13.320 The Ravens have the third best run defense grade according 0:40:13.360 --> 0:40:20.480 to Pro Football fecus. Talking about footballs too much, Yeah, geez, 0:40:21.080 --> 0:40:24.680 only Zach Voss's top fifty nine yards against Baltimore. It 0:40:24.760 --> 0:40:27.480 took him thirty carries to get past fifty nine yards. 0:40:27.640 --> 0:40:29.000 We got to I think one hundred and ten in 0:40:29.080 --> 0:40:31.879 the game. The passing role is dried up for Najie Harris, 0:40:31.880 --> 0:40:35.480 which is unfortunate, averaging just one catch per game, and 0:40:35.640 --> 0:40:38.600 he has Pro Football focuses seventh worst receiving grade among 0:40:38.760 --> 0:40:40.360 running backs. I can only get him up to a 0:40:40.400 --> 0:40:43.799 C grade here. And Jalen Warren is just he's tapped out. 0:40:43.800 --> 0:40:45.759 It like seven carries a game. I just you know, 0:40:45.920 --> 0:40:48.480 you can't. You can't do anything from a fantasy standpoint 0:40:48.520 --> 0:40:51.560 in that kind of time frame on disappointingly. So yeah, we're. 0:40:51.440 --> 0:40:52.640 Stuck, all right. 0:40:52.680 --> 0:40:55.640 We've got about I think about four minutes here to 0:40:55.680 --> 0:40:57.680 get to our next get through our next matchup, which 0:40:57.960 --> 0:41:01.920 is Cincinnati taking on Arizona. Matt I can't tell you 0:41:01.960 --> 0:41:04.560 how many people have told me they're just they're benching 0:41:04.640 --> 0:41:08.120 Joe Joe Burrow until he proves he can throw down field. 0:41:08.200 --> 0:41:10.200 Yeah, I think that's fair. He's not on the injury 0:41:10.280 --> 0:41:12.640 report this week. He's going to play, but again, how 0:41:12.719 --> 0:41:14.680 healthy is he? He simply can't get the power on 0:41:14.760 --> 0:41:17.600 his throws with the right calf injury. His average depth 0:41:17.640 --> 0:41:20.239 of target last week against the Titans, who have a 0:41:20.360 --> 0:41:24.000 really bad secondary, was only four point four yards. 0:41:24.040 --> 0:41:25.080 It was just horrible. 0:41:25.200 --> 0:41:25.279 Ye. 0:41:25.520 --> 0:41:28.480 Even in a matchup against the bottom five defense like Arizona, 0:41:28.640 --> 0:41:31.160 it's still tough to trust him. I'll give Burrow a 0:41:31.280 --> 0:41:33.640 c but I'd rather not start him right now. T 0:41:33.880 --> 0:41:36.080 Higgins looks like he's not going to go this week 0:41:36.120 --> 0:41:38.279 with a rib injury. Hasn't practiced yet this week. Even 0:41:38.320 --> 0:41:39.680 if he does go, I think i'd leave him on 0:41:39.719 --> 0:41:42.760 the bench. But it is a great matchup for Jamar Chase. 0:41:43.040 --> 0:41:46.160 He'll match up most often with Arizona corner Marco Wilson, 0:41:46.200 --> 0:41:48.920 who's allowed the most yards in coverage this season at 0:41:48.960 --> 0:41:52.040 three hundred and forty five already. That's a lot a lot, 0:41:52.480 --> 0:41:55.120 Plus he's now the squeaky Wheel after the comments he 0:41:55.239 --> 0:41:58.120 made last week. This would be an a matchup, but 0:41:58.160 --> 0:41:59.719 I'm going to give him a B just on the 0:41:59.760 --> 0:42:02.920 bay of Joe Burrow's health and the fact that he's 0:42:02.960 --> 0:42:07.239 probably double covered the entire game. Joe Mixon is leading 0:42:07.280 --> 0:42:09.880 the league in one category. It's not like an oreo category, 0:42:09.960 --> 0:42:12.759 but it's almost as bad. The fewest air yards in 0:42:12.840 --> 0:42:16.680 the league. He's at negative thirty eight air yards, which 0:42:16.760 --> 0:42:19.879 translates to an average depth of target of negative four 0:42:19.960 --> 0:42:23.040 point one yards per play. I've never heard of a negative, 0:42:23.320 --> 0:42:25.480 especially the steep into a season. It's horrible. 0:42:25.560 --> 0:42:25.799 Wow. 0:42:26.000 --> 0:42:28.320 However, I don't think they need to pass mix in 0:42:28.719 --> 0:42:30.759 the ball much in this game. The Cardinals are one 0:42:30.760 --> 0:42:33.240 of the worst run defenses in the league. They're bottom 0:42:33.280 --> 0:42:36.000 ten and basically every category they're along. One hundred and 0:42:36.040 --> 0:42:38.279 forty six conbo yards and two scores per game to 0:42:38.320 --> 0:42:41.640 the position. A grade for Joe Mixon. On the other side, 0:42:41.680 --> 0:42:43.960 We'll start with James Connor, who I always expect to 0:42:44.000 --> 0:42:46.560 see on the injury report, but he's not there. He 0:42:46.640 --> 0:42:49.239 had sixty three percent of the team's rushing attempts. His 0:42:49.400 --> 0:42:51.960 backup Keanta Ingram looks like he'll miss this week, so 0:42:52.040 --> 0:42:55.280 that might go up. Plus, Connor has had one hundred 0:42:55.280 --> 0:42:57.560 percent of his team's rushing attempts from inside the five. 0:42:57.960 --> 0:43:00.239 The Bengals have allowed two one hundred yard rusher through 0:43:00.320 --> 0:43:03.240 four games, and the Ravens split backfield of Gus Edwards 0:43:03.280 --> 0:43:05.479 and Justice. He'll combine for one zero three in a score. 0:43:05.880 --> 0:43:10.080 Very solid B grade for James Connor. Marquise Brown is startable, 0:43:10.160 --> 0:43:13.120 but it's just a C grade. Getting a great market 0:43:13.200 --> 0:43:16.600 share twenty seven percent of the total targets forty one 0:43:16.680 --> 0:43:19.840 percent of the total air yards. Both are huge shares 0:43:20.200 --> 0:43:23.359 top ten in the league. Both both categories that keeps 0:43:23.440 --> 0:43:27.240 him afloat in tough matchups like this one. He'll split 0:43:27.400 --> 0:43:31.200 time with chadobe Awoozia and Cam Taylor Britt on the perimeter. 0:43:31.680 --> 0:43:33.640 Both of them have a three inch and twenty pound 0:43:33.640 --> 0:43:36.840 advantage on Brown. I'm not going as far as to 0:43:37.080 --> 0:43:40.160 go with waiver wire Darling Michael Wilson for this one, 0:43:40.640 --> 0:43:43.239 so we'll leave him on the bench. I will throw 0:43:43.239 --> 0:43:46.080 a starting grade on zach Ertz. He gets a B grade. 0:43:46.120 --> 0:43:48.200 He's had target totals of ten, to eight and ten 0:43:48.640 --> 0:43:51.080 in games this season, and he faces a SINCI team 0:43:51.120 --> 0:43:53.720 that's allowed the tenth most receiving yards and is tied 0:43:53.760 --> 0:43:56.839 for second most in tight end touchdowns allowed so far. 0:43:57.280 --> 0:44:00.360 And then finally, Josh Dobbs has two top ten weekly 0:44:00.480 --> 0:44:01.720 Fantasy finishes this season. 0:44:01.840 --> 0:44:03.440 I can play a little, and he runs a bit. 0:44:03.560 --> 0:44:06.160 He hasn't thrown an interception. He's currently fifth in the 0:44:06.239 --> 0:44:08.680 league and quarterback rushing yards, and he puts up some 0:44:08.800 --> 0:44:11.200 decent numbers in the last two weeks against the Cowboys 0:44:11.239 --> 0:44:12.960 and forty nine Ers. By the way, about that this 0:44:13.120 --> 0:44:15.920 defense isn't as good, I'll give Dobbs a seat, and 0:44:15.960 --> 0:44:18.000 it's closer to a B grade than a bench grade. 0:44:18.080 --> 0:44:20.520 Yeah, I don't think people saw that coming. No tribute 0:44:20.520 --> 0:44:22.879 to him for handling it the way he has. When 0:44:22.920 --> 0:44:25.439 we come back three tough questions, you can play along 0:44:25.520 --> 0:44:27.520 try to go three and zero. Can also join a 0:44:27.560 --> 0:44:30.160 guillotine league. Guillotine leagues dot Com your opportunity to jump 0:44:30.200 --> 0:44:32.880 into a new, fresh guillotine league with a draft with 0:44:32.960 --> 0:44:35.960 all the things you already know about this season. And 0:44:36.120 --> 0:44:38.760 it's nice to know all the stuff that's already happened. 0:44:38.800 --> 0:44:57.640 Guillotine leagues dot Com back in moments. Everybody America's favorite 0:44:57.840 --> 0:45:03.960 game is at wheel four No, No, is it Monopoly? 0:45:04.440 --> 0:45:08.280 God know what an awful board game Monopoly is terrible, 0:45:08.840 --> 0:45:11.600 could never be made today? Do you ever laugh at 0:45:11.640 --> 0:45:13.919 the simplicity and stupidity of that board game? 0:45:14.080 --> 0:45:16.680 We're talking about code names, right, code name is great. 0:45:16.719 --> 0:45:17.319 That's a fun game. 0:45:17.360 --> 0:45:21.040 That's a good game. Now, that's a good game right there. Instead, No, 0:45:21.160 --> 0:45:24.239 we're talking about three tough questions. We're gonna play code 0:45:24.280 --> 0:45:24.920 name weekly. 0:45:25.480 --> 0:45:27.200 Tough question number one. 0:45:28.160 --> 0:45:33.239 Appropriate level of concern for Calvin Ridley? Is it none? 0:45:33.840 --> 0:45:34.320 Is it some? 0:45:35.400 --> 0:45:39.360 Or is it a bowel loosening level of existential dread? 0:45:40.160 --> 0:45:43.120 Matt, I mean it's the Jaguars things. We go get 0:45:43.200 --> 0:45:44.760 Collin out of it. I think he's still on the lobby. 0:45:45.000 --> 0:45:46.400 He is in the lobby occasion. 0:45:46.680 --> 0:45:48.719 It's worth noting that the last time I was on 0:45:48.840 --> 0:45:51.439 this show, we had the same question, but with Christian Kirk. 0:45:52.320 --> 0:45:54.520 And the last three weeks have been very disappointing for 0:45:54.800 --> 0:45:57.600 for Ridley. But the Jags have been just attacking the 0:45:57.680 --> 0:46:01.520 weaknesses of opposing defense. The Chiefs. Chiefs have two good 0:46:01.600 --> 0:46:04.160 perimeter corners and a bad slot corner, so they targeted 0:46:04.239 --> 0:46:08.520 Kirk Texans. Same thing, same thing with the Falcons last week, 0:46:08.640 --> 0:46:11.279 and actually it's the same thing this week as well. 0:46:11.360 --> 0:46:14.720 For the Jaguars going against the Bills. But it's probably 0:46:14.800 --> 0:46:16.880 four disappointing weeks in a row now, so there's got 0:46:17.000 --> 0:46:19.719 to be some concern. But I'm not ready to get 0:46:19.760 --> 0:46:22.240 the poop going or anything like that. I think we're 0:46:22.280 --> 0:46:23.239 okay here, all right. 0:46:23.400 --> 0:46:27.520 Thor appropriate level of concern for Calvin Ridley, none, some, 0:46:28.000 --> 0:46:30.640 or about a loosening level of existential dread. 0:46:30.840 --> 0:46:32.560 I'm going to give the same answer that I did 0:46:32.719 --> 0:46:34.600 when we talked about Christian Kirk. 0:46:34.600 --> 0:46:36.640 I'm going to say some for Calvin Ridley. 0:46:36.719 --> 0:46:40.000 The target here has obviously gone down for him since 0:46:40.200 --> 0:46:42.120 you know, with Christian Kirk, since Week one. 0:46:42.120 --> 0:46:43.640 After that for Calvin Ridley. 0:46:43.840 --> 0:46:46.320 But I do you know, in agreeing with Matt's point, 0:46:46.400 --> 0:46:49.520 I do think it's situational and circumstantial. You are going 0:46:49.560 --> 0:46:51.200 to have a bunch of games where he's going to 0:46:51.239 --> 0:46:53.120 give you value by yeah, you just have to mix 0:46:53.200 --> 0:46:54.480 some match based on the matchup. 0:46:55.000 --> 0:46:56.040 So some is your answer. 0:46:56.160 --> 0:46:57.279 Yes, Yes. 0:46:58.840 --> 0:47:02.760 Ridley has seemed declining targets, declining air yards, and declining 0:47:02.840 --> 0:47:06.560 target share percentage in every game this year. He's now 0:47:06.640 --> 0:47:11.440 behind presumed irrelevant teammate Zay Jones in air yards for 0:47:11.520 --> 0:47:15.120 the season. You mentioned the trick in your matchup this week, Matt, 0:47:15.680 --> 0:47:19.000 but also let me mention this Week seven at the Saints, 0:47:19.320 --> 0:47:21.799 that's no kakewalk. Week nine is a bye, I hear 0:47:21.840 --> 0:47:26.359 they have a great defense. Week ten San Francisco. Those 0:47:26.440 --> 0:47:29.680 are all games that will cause some hesitation before you 0:47:29.760 --> 0:47:32.160 insert Calvin Ridley into your lineup. By the way, the 0:47:32.200 --> 0:47:34.680 first play schedule's got consequences every year. Sure, no, this 0:47:34.800 --> 0:47:39.120 is it for Jacksonville. Four drops in four games for 0:47:39.280 --> 0:47:44.359 Calvin Ridley, no bueno. As a reminder, Calvin Ridley had 0:47:44.360 --> 0:47:47.920 a great twenty twenty. Here's his finish in all the 0:47:48.040 --> 0:47:52.480 other years of his career. Wide receiver thirty seven, Wide 0:47:52.520 --> 0:47:56.239 receiver eighteen, Wide receiver twenty nine, and right now he's 0:47:56.280 --> 0:48:00.160 wide receiver thirty one in Fantasy points. Maybe this this's 0:48:00.200 --> 0:48:03.759 just who he is. He is roughly the thirty best 0:48:04.000 --> 0:48:07.480 best wide receiver in the league. He's roughly a flex guy. 0:48:08.239 --> 0:48:10.800 Though maybe the outlier here was his twenty twenty season 0:48:10.840 --> 0:48:13.520 when he finished his wide receiver three. That might not 0:48:13.680 --> 0:48:16.840 be who he is, and maybe our expectations got blown 0:48:17.000 --> 0:48:21.080 way out of the water in Week one. The appropriate 0:48:21.160 --> 0:48:23.200 level of concern for Calvin Ridley is some. 0:48:24.719 --> 0:48:27.600 Tough question. Number two, is it too. 0:48:27.600 --> 0:48:33.319 Early to sabotage drop Darren Waller? We go to Thorneistrom, 0:48:33.719 --> 0:48:36.000 you can't drop them. It's the state of the tight 0:48:36.120 --> 0:48:38.920 end position and fantasy right now. It's even worse than 0:48:39.040 --> 0:48:41.719 Darren Waller has been so far. I would just wonder 0:48:41.760 --> 0:48:44.160 who are you going to drop him for? If you're 0:48:44.160 --> 0:48:44.799 going to apples for. 0:48:44.800 --> 0:48:51.399 Raffles at that position, John Smith, Mostly they're waiver wire 0:48:51.480 --> 0:48:54.000 for tight ends. It's a wasteland. And you know, even 0:48:54.040 --> 0:48:56.200 the Waller's been bad, and obviously that the Giants have 0:48:56.280 --> 0:49:00.160 been a joke. Waller is still te twelve in Ppore, 0:49:00.520 --> 0:49:02.800 and I would guess, and I would bet that he 0:49:02.840 --> 0:49:04.640 will be better than that going forward the rest of 0:49:04.640 --> 0:49:05.000 the season. 0:49:05.000 --> 0:49:05.839 So I wouldn't cut him. 0:49:05.960 --> 0:49:09.120 All right, Matt, is it too early to sabotage drop 0:49:09.280 --> 0:49:10.000 Darren Waller? 0:49:10.920 --> 0:49:13.160 It's worth noting that I was pretty much the only 0:49:13.280 --> 0:49:15.440 one on the show in preseason who is not on 0:49:15.640 --> 0:49:16.720 board with Darren Waller. 0:49:16.840 --> 0:49:18.719 Ever, all right, fine, I'll give you the peacock games. 0:49:18.719 --> 0:49:20.520 He said he'd be hurt by now, which he's not. 0:49:20.840 --> 0:49:21.919 He's always hurt. 0:49:22.000 --> 0:49:23.560 He's not hurt for three years. 0:49:23.640 --> 0:49:24.279 He's not hurt. 0:49:24.440 --> 0:49:27.160 Oh, by the way, Daniel Jones, he's not good. He's 0:49:27.239 --> 0:49:29.520 never been good as a passer. Everything from a fantasy 0:49:29.800 --> 0:49:32.759 fantasy perspective for Jones that's been good for him has 0:49:32.760 --> 0:49:35.160 been on the ground and never had Waller. So I 0:49:35.239 --> 0:49:38.520 can't sabotage drop him. I will just drop him. It's 0:49:38.560 --> 0:49:41.640 not a sabotage drop anymore because nobody's gonna pick him up. 0:49:42.280 --> 0:49:46.239 He's bad. It's oh, it's over, Johnny, and they'll start 0:49:46.320 --> 0:49:48.359 him too. Yeah. I guess then it is a good 0:49:48.400 --> 0:49:49.239 sabotage drop. 0:49:49.320 --> 0:49:49.600 Let's go. 0:49:49.840 --> 0:49:51.760 You know what's gonna happen when you drop Waller? 0:49:51.880 --> 0:49:56.080 Right, he's gonna he's gonna have a game with one 0:49:56.160 --> 0:49:58.520 hundred yards and in the end he's gonna pull a 0:49:58.560 --> 0:49:59.919 hamstring and never play again. 0:50:00.280 --> 0:50:03.040 The Giants are dumb, but even they can figure out 0:50:03.239 --> 0:50:08.080 that Waller means wins. In their one victory this year, 0:50:08.400 --> 0:50:12.320 Week two against Arizona, Waller totaled seventy six yards on 0:50:12.440 --> 0:50:16.080 six catches and they won that game. In three losses, 0:50:16.560 --> 0:50:19.120 he's been held to exactly three receptions in those games 0:50:19.480 --> 0:50:21.520 in each of those and no more than thirty six yards. 0:50:21.560 --> 0:50:23.480 I mean If you use Waller, you win. If you 0:50:23.520 --> 0:50:26.920 don't use them, you lose. It's so simple, so simple, 0:50:27.239 --> 0:50:29.440 you wouldn't think it would be so hard for them. 0:50:30.080 --> 0:50:33.200 We can't sabotage drop Darren Waller yet there's not enough 0:50:33.239 --> 0:50:35.319 good tight ends to go along, and let's just hope 0:50:35.360 --> 0:50:36.719 to God that they figure it out. 0:50:36.840 --> 0:50:39.000 So, like the Randy ratio back in the day, they 0:50:39.080 --> 0:50:40.840 need the Waller ratio or something. 0:50:42.760 --> 0:50:45.919 Yes, moving on to question number three. 0:50:46.440 --> 0:50:49.560 Should I sell high on Kyron Williams, Matt. 0:50:49.840 --> 0:50:52.880 Yes, The numbers look good so far, but some of 0:50:52.920 --> 0:50:55.720 the advanced stats don't like him very much. His yards 0:50:55.760 --> 0:50:58.120 before contact is on the below average end at two 0:50:58.120 --> 0:51:01.880 point four yards per attempt. Yards after contact actually a 0:51:01.960 --> 0:51:05.400 bit worse at one point four yards per attempt, but 0:51:05.520 --> 0:51:09.120 the worst number through sixty four rushing attempts. He has 0:51:09.320 --> 0:51:13.120 one broken tackle. That's not good. He's pretty small at 0:51:13.160 --> 0:51:15.720 five nine one ninety four. I'm not sure this rushing 0:51:15.800 --> 0:51:18.440 style and this amount of a workload is conducive to 0:51:18.520 --> 0:51:20.640 him holding up at this rate for an entire season. 0:51:20.880 --> 0:51:22.359 So I would definitely sell high right now? 0:51:22.760 --> 0:51:25.560 All right, Thorpe, are you selling high on Kyron Williams? 0:51:25.920 --> 0:51:29.480 I'm gonna say yes with a couple big caveats. 0:51:29.680 --> 0:51:32.800 It totally depends on what that sell high looks like, 0:51:32.920 --> 0:51:36.920 number one, and also what your team's running back situation is. Like, 0:51:37.040 --> 0:51:39.640 if Kyrien's your weekly flex and you're weak at wide 0:51:39.680 --> 0:51:42.000 receiver and someone's going to give you a wide receiver 0:51:42.120 --> 0:51:45.440 one for Kyen, you do that. But if he's your 0:51:45.800 --> 0:51:47.880 RB one right now, you're not going to get a 0:51:47.920 --> 0:51:50.800 better running back for him one for one in a trade, 0:51:50.920 --> 0:51:52.520 so you would have to hold in that scenario. 0:51:52.600 --> 0:51:55.000 But I agree with everything Matt said, and I had 0:51:55.080 --> 0:51:57.080 many of Matt's talking points as well. The answer is 0:51:57.160 --> 0:52:00.680 yes on talent. Should Kyron william be the third highest 0:52:00.680 --> 0:52:04.560 scoring fantasy running back? No, Hello, absolutely not. I shouldn't 0:52:04.560 --> 0:52:07.160 be in the conversation with Christian McCaffrey. No, of course not. 0:52:08.000 --> 0:52:13.440 He's been aided by massive and likely totally unsustainable usage, 0:52:13.760 --> 0:52:16.799 especially near the strike. Eight carries inside the ten yard 0:52:16.840 --> 0:52:20.080 line already then the league best five touchdowns from inside 0:52:20.120 --> 0:52:24.200 the five yard line already for Kyron Williams not sustainable. Meanwhile, 0:52:24.239 --> 0:52:27.840 Matthew Stafford playing great, He's got three passing touchdowns on 0:52:27.880 --> 0:52:31.120 the season. Those things are going to equalize out and 0:52:31.840 --> 0:52:34.719 the touchdowns are going to dry up for Kyron Williams. 0:52:35.600 --> 0:52:39.120 Fantasy managers desperate at the running back position. I think 0:52:39.200 --> 0:52:42.000 you can find somebody if you shop Kyrienn Williams, you 0:52:42.080 --> 0:52:44.879 can find somebody that's gonna trade you a wide receiver, one, 0:52:45.360 --> 0:52:49.440 a top four tight end, a different top ten running 0:52:49.520 --> 0:52:52.480 back that you could go invest in. I think we're 0:52:52.600 --> 0:52:54.360 selling out on Kyrien Williams. 0:52:54.400 --> 0:52:55.120 You got him for free. 0:52:55.440 --> 0:52:57.319 You're gonna turn him into a much better and more 0:52:57.360 --> 0:53:03.880 reliable player. Go back to the matchups the Giants aforementioned 0:53:03.960 --> 0:53:06.840 Giants with Darren Waller. In fact, I wait, start on 0:53:07.000 --> 0:53:10.520 Darren Waller. Let's get right into Darren Wallert's get right 0:53:10.600 --> 0:53:13.839 into it. Darren Waller's solid bench grade. Right it might 0:53:13.880 --> 0:53:17.000 be Darren Waller taking on Miami with the for the Giants. 0:53:17.080 --> 0:53:19.160 Do they rebound it for a better game here? 0:53:19.480 --> 0:53:21.680 Yeah? Well, I'm gonna go a C on Darren Waller. 0:53:21.680 --> 0:53:22.719 I'm sorry to disappoint. 0:53:22.760 --> 0:53:25.880 Matt Waller does have a solid twenty four percent air 0:53:26.040 --> 0:53:28.960 yard share, but right now only one point two yards 0:53:29.000 --> 0:53:31.960 per route run amid all the Giants offensive struggles, which 0:53:31.960 --> 0:53:33.480 I'm going to talk a little bit think about. 0:53:33.280 --> 0:53:36.200 That second one point two yards per route run and 0:53:36.320 --> 0:53:39.360 he's got twenty. Daniel Jones is throwing the ball just 0:53:39.520 --> 0:53:42.279 like just over the head of the defensive line right now. 0:53:42.560 --> 0:53:45.239 He only has the time to do that for a life. 0:53:45.760 --> 0:53:47.839 But you know, like I mentioned before, Waller still does 0:53:47.960 --> 0:53:51.279 sit T twelve in PPR leagues and the Dolphins this 0:53:51.360 --> 0:53:54.040 week's opponent. Both they're going to stomp the Giants and 0:53:54.080 --> 0:53:56.760 incentivise them to pass more, but they're also average against 0:53:56.960 --> 0:53:59.320 opposing tight ends. They rank middle of the pack in 0:53:59.320 --> 0:54:02.960 almost every thing, uh number seventeen for instance, in receiving 0:54:03.040 --> 0:54:06.360 yards allowed to the tight end position. You have to 0:54:06.480 --> 0:54:08.759 keep all the Giants wide receivers on the bench because, 0:54:08.800 --> 0:54:10.759 as always, you don't know where the ball is going 0:54:10.880 --> 0:54:14.160 on the few completions that they end up getting. Now, Church, 0:54:14.239 --> 0:54:16.319 you know, I'm a I'm a new guy to the show, 0:54:16.680 --> 0:54:17.600 do you so? 0:54:17.680 --> 0:54:20.239 I don't know? Is there something opposite of a peacock sound? 0:54:20.320 --> 0:54:22.400 As I begin to talk about Daniel Dimes. 0:54:22.800 --> 0:54:24.560 There's the mongoose rights. 0:54:24.600 --> 0:54:28.000 Exactly if we have a mongoose is the anti peak? 0:54:28.360 --> 0:54:30.040 I think I need it's time for me to give 0:54:30.200 --> 0:54:32.240 me a call PA to the audience. I gave Daniel 0:54:32.320 --> 0:54:33.440 Jones and a last week. 0:54:33.440 --> 0:54:34.680 I don't know what I was doing. 0:54:34.719 --> 0:54:39.080 There's also the eye was wrong button that no, not 0:54:39.239 --> 0:54:41.400 that one. That one. Wait a minute. 0:54:46.840 --> 0:54:49.120 So the bad news is that exactly is that I 0:54:49.320 --> 0:54:51.200 was dead wrong. But the good news is I think 0:54:51.200 --> 0:54:54.399 I've seen the light last time. 0:54:55.280 --> 0:54:58.120 Dimes is obviously badly, badly struggling just in a vacuum, 0:54:58.200 --> 0:55:01.960 but even more so behind that injury ravage Giants offensive 0:55:02.040 --> 0:55:04.480 line that at five guys on the injury report, three 0:55:04.520 --> 0:55:07.319 of whom have already been ruled out. Andrew Thomas, John 0:55:07.360 --> 0:55:10.719 Michael Schmidz, and Shane Mario Lemieux are all going. 0:55:10.640 --> 0:55:11.480 To be out for this game. 0:55:11.560 --> 0:55:14.120 So the offensive line of the blocking is getting no 0:55:14.239 --> 0:55:16.640 better for the Giants, which is bad news for Saquon 0:55:16.719 --> 0:55:19.279 Barkley if he manages to play. Of course, another guy 0:55:19.360 --> 0:55:22.080 on the injury report. Barkley has missed the last two 0:55:22.120 --> 0:55:24.920 games with a great two high ankle sprain. Limited in 0:55:25.000 --> 0:55:29.040 practice once again this week. Brian Dables said on Friday 0:55:29.080 --> 0:55:31.200 that Sakuon will be a game time decision. 0:55:31.840 --> 0:55:34.040 If he plays, you give him a volume C. 0:55:35.120 --> 0:55:37.520 He definitely may not, and if he doesn't, obviously Matt 0:55:37.560 --> 0:55:38.680 Brida is gonna play again. 0:55:38.760 --> 0:55:39.200 He wouldn't. 0:55:39.320 --> 0:55:42.000 Brita would only be a desperation play in super deep leagues. 0:55:42.200 --> 0:55:44.360 The two games where Seikwon's been out and Brita has 0:55:44.400 --> 0:55:46.640 had to take over seven touch it for eighteen yards 0:55:46.680 --> 0:55:48.440 against the forty nine Ers, he did get a touchdown 0:55:48.480 --> 0:55:50.839 that game for just a little bit of value. Last week, 0:55:50.880 --> 0:55:54.160 Brita had fourteen cares for thirty against the Seahawks. Not 0:55:54.440 --> 0:55:56.600 the best, no, but we're gonna move to a team 0:55:56.640 --> 0:55:59.120 that has a much funner offense here with the Dolphins. 0:55:59.520 --> 0:56:04.200 To is a must start obviously, an a Fantasy QB eight, 0:56:04.400 --> 0:56:08.000 number one in passing grade in the NFL most throwing 0:56:08.120 --> 0:56:11.640 touchdowns versus man coverage this season, and the Giants are 0:56:11.680 --> 0:56:15.239 an extremely man coverage intensive team, so I think this 0:56:15.360 --> 0:56:19.280 is a really good matchup for Tua. Tyreek Kill another 0:56:19.360 --> 0:56:23.280 weekly must start Tyreek. This is a particularly awesome matchup 0:56:23.320 --> 0:56:25.920 for him because he is utterly dominant against man coverage, 0:56:25.920 --> 0:56:26.640 always has been. 0:56:26.840 --> 0:56:28.240 He's gonna light up the Giants. 0:56:28.640 --> 0:56:31.320 Jalen Wattle, I'm gonna give him a B, but that 0:56:31.440 --> 0:56:33.480 great would be closer to a sea than an A. 0:56:34.719 --> 0:56:37.160 As I mentioned, the Giants run lots of man coverage. 0:56:37.360 --> 0:56:40.800 The Dolphins go to Tyreek Kill in man coverage. Wattle 0:56:40.880 --> 0:56:44.920 only has a thirteen percent target share against man coverage. 0:56:45.360 --> 0:56:47.320 The Dolphins tight ends of corus As always stay on 0:56:47.400 --> 0:56:47.799 your bench. 0:56:48.360 --> 0:56:53.920 Devin A. Chane eight chan as he's not. I'm getting there. 0:56:54.000 --> 0:56:56.000 He's the one who changed his name. Yeah, we don't 0:56:56.040 --> 0:56:57.480 have to apologize for not getting it right. 0:56:57.560 --> 0:56:59.600 Two weeks later, I'm still I'm still getting there, but 0:56:59.719 --> 0:57:02.560 I'm giving him an A played sixty percent of the 0:57:02.640 --> 0:57:05.439 snaps last week, eleven touches for one hundred and twenty 0:57:05.560 --> 0:57:08.920 total yards. He's taken over this backfield. He's going to 0:57:08.960 --> 0:57:12.640 be the starter going forward. Eight eight Chan is number 0:57:12.719 --> 0:57:15.799 one in explode in the NFL, not amongst rookies whatever. 0:57:16.000 --> 0:57:20.480 In the NFL, explosive run rate mistackles fourth per attempt 0:57:20.840 --> 0:57:23.040 and yards after contact per attempt. 0:57:23.360 --> 0:57:26.200 At folks, we got some good news. The Giants run defense. 0:57:25.880 --> 0:57:28.400 Has allowed the fourth highest explosive run rate in the 0:57:28.600 --> 0:57:33.920 in the NFL. He's going nuts, Rocky Moster, so I 0:57:34.000 --> 0:57:36.160 give him. I forget if I said that. Moster, I'm 0:57:36.160 --> 0:57:39.320 gonna give a bee. He's obviously now going to take 0:57:39.360 --> 0:57:41.600 the back seat. A little bit to the rookie. He 0:57:42.440 --> 0:57:45.200 Moster played forty three percent of the snaps last week, 0:57:45.480 --> 0:57:49.000 had ten touches forty five total yards, but he does 0:57:49.160 --> 0:57:52.120 rank number five in the NFL in explosive run rates. Still, 0:57:52.480 --> 0:57:55.560 as I mentioned, the Giants run defense regularly gives up dingers, 0:57:55.720 --> 0:57:58.120 so there's always that shot that Moster gets one of those. 0:57:58.320 --> 0:58:00.000 But he might need to have one of those explosive 0:58:00.120 --> 0:58:01.480 place to return value in this game. 0:58:01.600 --> 0:58:06.000 See I think you could go a A for both guys, 0:58:06.240 --> 0:58:10.280 but you're totally justifiable given what this matchup is all about. 0:58:10.440 --> 0:58:11.960 This run defense will facilitate it. 0:58:12.120 --> 0:58:13.840 I think that would make sense. When we come back 0:58:14.160 --> 0:58:17.720 Tennessee taking on Indianapolis. On this show last week, we 0:58:17.840 --> 0:58:22.200 basically declared Derek Henry dead and then he probably went out, 0:58:22.240 --> 0:58:26.919 had a signature touchdown run and passed. Let's see where 0:58:26.960 --> 0:58:30.200 we land on Derek Henry's he takes on Indianapolis when 0:58:30.240 --> 0:58:55.960 we returned to Fantasy Football Weekly, Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. 0:58:56.040 --> 0:58:59.040 We continue to power through all of the matchups. In 0:58:59.080 --> 0:59:03.680 week number five, Tennessee takes on Indianapolis start with Derrick Henry, 0:59:03.800 --> 0:59:06.480 apparently not dead yet, reeled off one of his epic 0:59:06.600 --> 0:59:10.280 signature runs last week. He averaged one hundred and forty 0:59:10.360 --> 0:59:12.880 three total yards against the Colts per game against the 0:59:12.920 --> 0:59:15.520 Colts last year, which are great numbers. Of course, he 0:59:15.640 --> 0:59:18.600 faces eight or more defenders in the box on forty 0:59:18.720 --> 0:59:21.520 eight percent of his rush attempts. That's the second highest. 0:59:21.960 --> 0:59:25.440 Colts are middle of the pack in most rushing defensive metrics, 0:59:25.520 --> 0:59:28.320 but are allowing one score per game, and that's where 0:59:28.520 --> 0:59:32.040 Henry's likely to pay dividends here. Colts are much better 0:59:32.120 --> 0:59:34.400 against the run than against the pass. It should be 0:59:34.440 --> 0:59:36.400 the rare Titans game where I think Henry doesn't need 0:59:36.440 --> 0:59:39.040 to carry the load. I already told earlier Ryan Tannils 0:59:39.120 --> 0:59:40.760 might take a chance at me quarterback. I like the 0:59:40.840 --> 0:59:44.200 passing game here. Derek Henry logs in with a B grade, 0:59:44.680 --> 0:59:47.680 Ryan Tannehill with a B grade, even though be without 0:59:47.920 --> 0:59:51.640 Traylan Burks in all probability, he'd missed the whole week 0:59:51.720 --> 0:59:54.400 of practice, not expected to play in this one. But 0:59:54.560 --> 0:59:58.480 how about DeAndre Hopkins languishing to this point of the season. 0:59:59.000 --> 1:00:01.160 I think this is the one where it finally happens. Oh, 1:00:01.520 --> 1:00:04.280 I told you earlier. Starting cornerback Dallas Flowers is out 1:00:04.280 --> 1:00:08.400 for the year. Their cornerback situation is bad. I told 1:00:08.440 --> 1:00:11.120 you earlier Darryl Baker had been benched. He probably gets 1:00:11.200 --> 1:00:12.920 back on the field, and if they don't use him, 1:00:13.600 --> 1:00:16.440 they have to put seventh round rookie Jalen Jones in 1:00:16.520 --> 1:00:20.600 his first ever meaningful action onto the field. In either situation, 1:00:20.760 --> 1:00:24.720 it's a very plus opportunity for DeAndre Hopkins. The Colts 1:00:24.760 --> 1:00:28.280 have allowed the seventh most receptions and yards per game 1:00:28.400 --> 1:00:31.240 to wide receivers. DeAndre Hopkins logs in with a B 1:00:31.400 --> 1:00:33.680 grade and I think his first really big box scorer 1:00:33.880 --> 1:00:38.040 as a Titan Nick Westbrook a kine showing up into 1:00:38.080 --> 1:00:41.040 this matchup because it's so easy. He scored touchdowns in 1:00:41.080 --> 1:00:43.840 two of his last three games with Traylon Burks out. 1:00:43.920 --> 1:00:46.520 Last week, he saw an uptick to six targets, had 1:00:46.600 --> 1:00:49.000 five receptions, and Traylon Burk's gonna miss them as well. 1:00:49.480 --> 1:00:52.760 He also played more outside, where he'll also get that 1:00:52.880 --> 1:00:56.080 Darryl Baker Jalen Jones situation I just described with Hopkins, 1:00:56.120 --> 1:00:58.880 and he could cash in on that too. Let's throw 1:00:58.920 --> 1:01:01.120 in chick a konkquo. You gotta be smart about where 1:01:01.120 --> 1:01:01.680 you start him. 1:01:01.720 --> 1:01:02.840 But this is one of those spots. 1:01:03.160 --> 1:01:05.919 Colts allowing the fifth most tight end receptions, the six 1:01:06.040 --> 1:01:08.920 most tight end yards, four different tight ends of top 1:01:09.080 --> 1:01:13.200 thirty four yards against the Colts. A Conku was scored 1:01:13.240 --> 1:01:15.480 in one of the Indie matchups last year. He got 1:01:15.520 --> 1:01:17.520 a goose egg in the other, So maybe he's a 1:01:18.120 --> 1:01:20.000 Maybe he's an all or nothing play here. I like 1:01:20.080 --> 1:01:23.800 your opportunities see grade with chig aconk Wu. And it 1:01:23.880 --> 1:01:28.080 pains me because I love Tajay Spears, but I think 1:01:28.200 --> 1:01:30.720 this is a trickier matchup. Colts are much better against 1:01:30.760 --> 1:01:33.480 the run than the pass. Spears is in an almost 1:01:33.640 --> 1:01:37.200 dead even split in snaps with Derrick Henry, but he 1:01:37.280 --> 1:01:38.800 just doesn't get the ball in his hands enough to 1:01:38.840 --> 1:01:42.680 be a reliable starter in trickier matchups. He's getting more 1:01:42.720 --> 1:01:45.320 receiving work though, nine targets the past two games. I 1:01:45.440 --> 1:01:47.880 like that, but still like four catches a game. It's 1:01:47.960 --> 1:01:50.520 tough to put it together a meaningful box score that way. 1:01:50.680 --> 1:01:53.360 You're losing your curveball charge. Then you did a nine 1:01:53.440 --> 1:01:55.840 times right there, and it was it was just sitting there. 1:01:55.920 --> 1:01:56.520 It's team. 1:01:56.560 --> 1:02:00.520 It's a posthumous nine times right there. I'm really disappointed 1:02:00.560 --> 1:02:04.800 in myself. Let's go to the Indianapolis side. Anthony Richardson 1:02:04.920 --> 1:02:08.160 clocking in with an A grade. Yeah, I wish Fish 1:02:08.240 --> 1:02:10.640 was here for this. He's been Fantasy Gold and two 1:02:10.680 --> 1:02:13.360 and a half games played so far, he's averaging one 1:02:13.480 --> 1:02:16.240 and a half rushing touchdowns per game. The Titans have 1:02:16.280 --> 1:02:18.720 allowed at least two hundred and ninety passing yards and 1:02:18.840 --> 1:02:21.400 are multiple passing touchdowns in three or four games, and 1:02:21.480 --> 1:02:24.680 they are one of six teams allowing a completion percentage 1:02:24.760 --> 1:02:27.680 north of seventy percent. I think I think Thoris had 1:02:27.720 --> 1:02:30.840 these matchups in both games that you've had against the Titans. 1:02:31.520 --> 1:02:33.440 They're great basically, like short of it is, They're a 1:02:33.440 --> 1:02:36.120 pass funneling team that's great against the run, and they'll 1:02:36.240 --> 1:02:39.320 just they'll get they'll they'll take their chances in the past, correct, 1:02:39.400 --> 1:02:41.920 and Anthony Richardson should be good enough to run against 1:02:41.920 --> 1:02:44.520 them anyway and get a little something done through the air. 1:02:44.600 --> 1:02:47.360 Here. Just think about when Anthony Richardson actually gets good 1:02:47.480 --> 1:02:50.600 too home, then what right he's gonna break the sport he. 1:02:50.680 --> 1:02:53.960 Might he's breaking Fantasy scoring systems right now. Michael Pittman 1:02:54.040 --> 1:02:56.640 locks his logs in with a B grade. He runs 1:02:56.680 --> 1:02:59.840 from all over the field and has mostly plus individual 1:03:00.040 --> 1:03:03.480 matchups wherever he runs from a run against cornerback Sean 1:03:03.560 --> 1:03:06.919 Murphy bunting often he's just okay, averaging allowing a forty 1:03:07.080 --> 1:03:10.400 excuse me, seventy seven percent completion rate. But he's a 1:03:10.440 --> 1:03:13.320 great tackler, and he's also a physical cornerback, so he 1:03:13.360 --> 1:03:16.760 can match Pittman's size and toughness. So I don't say 1:03:16.800 --> 1:03:19.320 big plays coming for Pittman, but I see enough receptions 1:03:19.360 --> 1:03:22.840 to keep him comfortably startable. He's also, by the way, Pittman, 1:03:23.280 --> 1:03:25.160 you don't think the Colts is a high volume offense. 1:03:25.200 --> 1:03:28.640 He's the fourth most targeted player in the NFL. Michael 1:03:28.640 --> 1:03:31.720 Pittman in the red zone. Excuse me, a little asteris 1:03:31.840 --> 1:03:36.560 on that? How about this angle? Alec Pierce? What are 1:03:36.640 --> 1:03:38.360 we talking about? Alec Pierce? 1:03:39.040 --> 1:03:39.520 How about this? 1:03:39.960 --> 1:03:42.720 He's on the field for ninety five percent of the 1:03:42.800 --> 1:03:45.920 snaps for the Colts, ninety five. He runs the majority 1:03:45.960 --> 1:03:47.960 of his routes on the side of the field of 1:03:48.040 --> 1:03:51.760 struggling cornerback Christian Fulton, who's allowing a seventy eight percent 1:03:51.840 --> 1:03:54.480 completion rate and a lot of big plays, including two 1:03:54.680 --> 1:03:58.960 forty yard completions in his coverage. Already, Fulton ranks as 1:03:59.040 --> 1:04:03.920 cornerback one hundred and fifty one by Pro Football Focus, 1:04:04.480 --> 1:04:07.120 and Pierce says the fifth longest a dot in the 1:04:07.240 --> 1:04:10.920 league at seventeen yards per pass. I think they connect 1:04:10.960 --> 1:04:14.480 this week. Here's your official dart throw of it. Alec 1:04:14.640 --> 1:04:17.160 Pierce should have made him might take a chance on 1:04:17.240 --> 1:04:18.200 me wide receiver problem. 1:04:18.240 --> 1:04:20.080 He's gonna have at least one long TOUCHDOW in this game. 1:04:20.160 --> 1:04:21.520 I feel like I like that angle. 1:04:21.600 --> 1:04:24.320 I hope you're right. How about some underneath stuff for 1:04:24.400 --> 1:04:25.400 Josh downs while. 1:04:25.200 --> 1:04:25.520 We're at it. 1:04:25.600 --> 1:04:28.000 By the way, see grade on Alick Pierce. See grade 1:04:28.000 --> 1:04:29.880 on Josh Downs getting a lot of snaps. He's on 1:04:29.960 --> 1:04:32.680 the field seventy five percent of the plays. By the way, 1:04:32.760 --> 1:04:34.479 it goes to their top three guys on the field 1:04:34.480 --> 1:04:37.440 all the time. Nobody else sees the field as a 1:04:37.480 --> 1:04:40.160 wide receiver. On the Colts, he's going to face off 1:04:40.200 --> 1:04:43.400 against cornerback Roger McCreary in the slot. McCreary's there's nothing 1:04:43.440 --> 1:04:48.000 special giving up seventy two percent completion rate. Slot receivers Keenan, Allen, 1:04:48.200 --> 1:04:51.240 Rashid Shaheed, Elijah Moore have all posted very good games 1:04:51.280 --> 1:04:53.800 against the Titans so far this year. See grade for 1:04:53.920 --> 1:04:57.240 Josh downs. And now the tricky part, what do you 1:04:57.360 --> 1:05:01.760 do with Jonathan Taylor now? Well, head coach Shane Steiken 1:05:01.840 --> 1:05:03.800 would asked if Taylor was going to see the field, said, 1:05:03.840 --> 1:05:07.040 we'll see, but he's a stone cold liar, because well 1:05:07.120 --> 1:05:09.760 know they're putting their best player on the field. That's 1:05:09.880 --> 1:05:13.320 Jonathan Taylor. He's healthy. That ankle, to me, is not 1:05:13.520 --> 1:05:15.680 a worry. This is an ankle injury he ran on 1:05:16.360 --> 1:05:19.320 last year. I think the ankle is not even an 1:05:19.360 --> 1:05:22.040 issue here. I suspect Jonathan Taylor's going to touch the 1:05:22.080 --> 1:05:24.800 ball twelve to fifteen times. 1:05:25.560 --> 1:05:26.960 So even against a good. 1:05:26.920 --> 1:05:29.880 Run defense, which the Titans are they ranked fifth best, 1:05:29.920 --> 1:05:32.520 and run stuff win rate they ranked sixth, and tackling 1:05:32.560 --> 1:05:36.280 by Pro Football Focus, it's still Jonathan Taylor. I believe 1:05:36.320 --> 1:05:38.520 he sees the majority of the work here. And I'm 1:05:38.560 --> 1:05:40.840 putting a C grade on him in his first game back, 1:05:40.920 --> 1:05:42.720 and I'm starting him in some of my guillotine leagues. 1:05:42.720 --> 1:05:44.760 I'm putting my neck on the line. Yere Bro lead 1:05:44.840 --> 1:05:47.240 backs are averaging a paltry forty two yards per game 1:05:47.280 --> 1:05:49.600 against the Titans again, It's a tough spot, but I 1:05:49.720 --> 1:05:52.760 believe Jonathan Taylor's back and healthy, and I can't. I'm 1:05:52.800 --> 1:05:55.400 not benching him. You can decide if you've got the 1:05:55.440 --> 1:05:57.760 stones for that or ovaries for that for that matter, 1:05:59.080 --> 1:06:01.720 Zach Boss drop him yet, you know, let's just see 1:06:01.840 --> 1:06:04.120 how this thing plays out. But I think he moves 1:06:04.160 --> 1:06:08.760 to a committee Sipe type role as a number two back. 1:06:09.080 --> 1:06:09.200 Now. 1:06:09.280 --> 1:06:11.080 It feels like an eight touch game coming and we're 1:06:11.080 --> 1:06:13.520 not going to start him against a good defense in that. 1:06:13.600 --> 1:06:14.960 Spot, all right. 1:06:15.560 --> 1:06:19.280 Next up the Jets taking on Denver Man. We have 1:06:19.440 --> 1:06:23.080 already accounted for almost every part of the Jets and 1:06:23.160 --> 1:06:24.000 take a chance on me. 1:06:24.280 --> 1:06:24.480 Yeah. 1:06:25.200 --> 1:06:28.160 Back all the ones that you wouldn't normally start, that's right, 1:06:28.240 --> 1:06:31.040 you're starting them, and all the ones that you normally start, 1:06:31.160 --> 1:06:32.120 you're also starting now. 1:06:32.200 --> 1:06:34.960 So I think it just leaves Breece Hall and Garrett Wilson, right. 1:06:35.080 --> 1:06:37.000 Yeah, Breece Hall gets a B grade for much of 1:06:37.080 --> 1:06:39.560 the same reasons I liked Dalvin Cook. It would be 1:06:39.600 --> 1:06:41.760 an A grade if I could trust the workload actually 1:06:41.840 --> 1:06:45.520 increasing for Breese, but still could be a split. Garrett 1:06:45.520 --> 1:06:47.880 Wilson easy a grade in this The Broncos have allowed 1:06:47.960 --> 1:06:50.640 five different wide receivers the top sixty yards of this season. 1:06:51.240 --> 1:06:53.640 Four of those have scored a touchdown, including eight for 1:06:53.680 --> 1:06:56.439 one point thirty one and one to DJ Moore last week. 1:06:56.920 --> 1:06:59.760 Wilson has seen eight, nine and fourteen targets and Zach 1:06:59.760 --> 1:07:03.240 will since three starts and Church mentioned Denver corner Damari 1:07:03.360 --> 1:07:06.440 Mathis who's horrible. Wilson will score this week, so he's 1:07:06.440 --> 1:07:10.480 getting an A grade. On the Denver side. Javonte Williams 1:07:10.600 --> 1:07:12.760 is trending in the right direction, as he went from 1:07:12.800 --> 1:07:15.040 a no show in practice on Wednesday to limit it 1:07:15.080 --> 1:07:18.280 in Thursday. Problem is he's splitting work with samaj p 1:07:18.480 --> 1:07:24.120 Ryan and Waiver Wire Darling Jaliel McLoughlin. McLoughlin has both 1:07:24.240 --> 1:07:27.360 Denver running back touchdowns this year. Even if william goes, 1:07:27.440 --> 1:07:30.000 I think this might be McLoughlin's game here. He was 1:07:30.080 --> 1:07:33.080 Brian's premature speculation in Week two. By the way, that 1:07:33.240 --> 1:07:36.920 was a great call by Brian. Last week, McLoughlin had 1:07:36.960 --> 1:07:38.840 one hundred and four total yards in a score on 1:07:38.920 --> 1:07:42.160 ten touches. The Jets have allowed the fifth most combo 1:07:42.280 --> 1:07:44.720 yards to opposing backs this year at one hundred and 1:07:44.840 --> 1:07:48.320 fifty two per game. So if Williams does go, I 1:07:48.400 --> 1:07:50.640 guess they both get a C grade, But if Javante 1:07:50.800 --> 1:07:53.439 is ruled out, McLoughlin moves up to a B grade. 1:07:53.480 --> 1:07:55.640 In my mind, I look back at my draft rankings. 1:07:55.720 --> 1:07:59.439 I had him compared to Philip Lindsay interestingly. 1:07:58.880 --> 1:08:01.720 And interesting I can see that comparison okay. 1:08:02.520 --> 1:08:06.280 From a fantasy perspective, Russell Wilson hasn't been horrible multiple 1:08:06.360 --> 1:08:08.560 touchdowns in three or four games, is thrown for over 1:08:08.640 --> 1:08:11.440 three hundred yards and two of the last three. Problem is, 1:08:11.520 --> 1:08:13.880 the Jets defense has been really good against the pass. 1:08:14.280 --> 1:08:16.599 Dak Prescott's two hundred and fifty five yards and two 1:08:16.680 --> 1:08:19.200 scores is the high water mark against the Jets in 1:08:19.280 --> 1:08:22.559 both categories, and they just held Patrick Mahomes to two 1:08:22.640 --> 1:08:25.920 oh three and one touchdown last week. It's barely a 1:08:26.000 --> 1:08:28.720 C grade for Russell Wilson, and it's only because the 1:08:28.800 --> 1:08:31.240 Broncos have been trailing big in so many games that 1:08:31.320 --> 1:08:33.840 it seems like the game script will dictate that he 1:08:33.960 --> 1:08:38.160 has to throw. As for the receiverers sauce, Gardners stays 1:08:38.240 --> 1:08:40.840 on the left side and that's the no toss sauce zone. 1:08:42.080 --> 1:08:45.439 He'll see Courtland Sutton most often. So Sutton is on 1:08:45.560 --> 1:08:48.840 the bench, Jerry Judy travels from the slot most often. 1:08:49.200 --> 1:08:52.280 That's the best matchup against the other Michael Carter, but 1:08:52.400 --> 1:08:54.360 he's been pretty good this year too. On one hundred 1:08:54.360 --> 1:08:57.240 and twelve slot snaps, Carter has only allowed five receptions 1:08:57.280 --> 1:08:59.679 on the air. So I've got all the Broncos wide 1:08:59.680 --> 1:09:02.479 receiver on the bench, and I don't think that you're 1:09:02.520 --> 1:09:06.080 starting Adam Troutman. But the Jets have allowed the most 1:09:06.200 --> 1:09:08.479 touchdowns to the tight end position this year with four. 1:09:08.640 --> 1:09:11.640 What happened to Adam Troutman? You know, it seemed like 1:09:11.960 --> 1:09:14.719 that Week one he was involved in the passing game, 1:09:15.280 --> 1:09:17.880 and then but Dulsich was healthy. Then then Dulsich gets 1:09:17.920 --> 1:09:20.719 knocked out, and then they like, no passes to Troutman 1:09:20.880 --> 1:09:21.320 since then. 1:09:21.520 --> 1:09:23.160 So weird, It's so weird. 1:09:23.960 --> 1:09:26.920 Yeah, that's been another in a series of tight end 1:09:26.960 --> 1:09:31.200 disappointments for this season. Definitely last one for this segment, 1:09:31.320 --> 1:09:34.800 Dallas taking on San Francisco in a titanic battle of 1:09:34.920 --> 1:09:38.920 great defenses. Let's start on the Dallas side, by a 1:09:39.240 --> 1:09:42.240 wide margin. This is the best defense they've faced all year. 1:09:42.560 --> 1:09:44.040 What do you like on the Dallas side? 1:09:44.520 --> 1:09:45.360 Not Dak Prescott. 1:09:45.800 --> 1:09:49.080 Now you're keeping Dak on the bench only QB twenty 1:09:49.160 --> 1:09:52.280 four in fantasy points per game. How about that second 1:09:52.439 --> 1:09:55.680 worst with a five point nine to a dot. The 1:09:55.760 --> 1:09:58.320 forty nine Ers course have the great pass rush and 1:09:58.360 --> 1:10:00.840 they've been tough on opposing quarterback this season, both in 1:10:00.920 --> 1:10:02.760 fantasy and on the field. So you have to keep 1:10:02.840 --> 1:10:05.720 Dak on your bench. Ceedee Lamb. I'll give him a 1:10:05.840 --> 1:10:10.040 b CD's wide receiver sixteen in fantasy. He's close to 1:10:10.120 --> 1:10:13.280 that number seventeen in yards per rout run this game 1:10:13.320 --> 1:10:16.280 against obviously a good forty nine Ers defense. He's Ceedee 1:10:16.320 --> 1:10:18.679 Lamb's gonna be locking horns with forty nine Ers. Cornerback 1:10:18.760 --> 1:10:22.240 Isjiah Oliver, who's only allowed a sixty two point nine 1:10:22.320 --> 1:10:25.719 passer rating against this year. You have to keep Brandon 1:10:25.760 --> 1:10:29.000 Cooks and Michael Gallup on your bench. Dak isn't throwing 1:10:29.160 --> 1:10:31.920 enough to support a second wide receiver in fantasy. 1:10:32.000 --> 1:10:33.000 It just is what it is. 1:10:33.960 --> 1:10:36.600 Jake ferguson the tight end, We're gonna give him a 1:10:36.720 --> 1:10:40.400 c Okay tight end eight so far in fantasy doing great, Yeah, 1:10:40.640 --> 1:10:44.040 head number one in the league amongst tight ends in 1:10:44.160 --> 1:10:48.799 red zone targets. Oh, Jake Ferguson surprising stat But Jake Ferguson, 1:10:48.880 --> 1:10:51.960 he's sort of like the Cadarius Tony of tight ends. 1:10:52.360 --> 1:10:55.400 The targets wildly vacillate for him. Came in and game 1:10:55.479 --> 1:10:58.360 out because of the playing time, right, I mean, he's 1:10:58.439 --> 1:11:00.160 he's gotten target when he's on the field, But like 1:11:00.439 --> 1:11:04.000 the snapshare is just pretty low. Super volatile fantasy player 1:11:04.040 --> 1:11:06.720 who's dependent on those red zone targets. I'm gonna give 1:11:06.760 --> 1:11:08.760 them a seed just on the upside, but it can 1:11:08.840 --> 1:11:11.320 go either way with Ferguson, that deserves to be said. 1:11:11.560 --> 1:11:14.320 The other thing about this the matchup for Ferguson, forty 1:11:14.400 --> 1:11:16.920 nine Er is very good against opposing tight ends. They 1:11:16.960 --> 1:11:19.680 allow the sixth fewest receiving yards in the NFL to 1:11:19.880 --> 1:11:23.320 that position. Tony Pollard, we're gonna give him a great 1:11:23.520 --> 1:11:27.759 b in this game, running back four in expected fantasy 1:11:27.800 --> 1:11:30.320 points per game, six spots higher than he's running back 1:11:30.320 --> 1:11:33.960 ten right now in the overall scoring. The Cowboys offensive 1:11:34.000 --> 1:11:36.960 line hasn't been fully healthy all season long, but it 1:11:37.160 --> 1:11:40.519 may be this week. But of course, on the other 1:11:40.640 --> 1:11:42.640 side of it, the forty nine Ers run defense is 1:11:42.960 --> 1:11:46.760 super legit. They allow the second lowest explosive run rate, 1:11:47.120 --> 1:11:49.320 So they're gonna bottle up Pollard a little bit. Can 1:11:49.360 --> 1:11:50.800 we get the efficiency, Can we get some of the 1:11:50.880 --> 1:11:51.880 receiving stuff, We'll see if. 1:11:51.920 --> 1:11:53.280 Can we get a touchdown? We'll see about that. 1:11:53.560 --> 1:11:56.080 Given Tony Pollard a be moving on to the forty 1:11:56.160 --> 1:11:59.400 nine Ers side, Christian McCaffrey a RB one and Fantasy 1:11:59.520 --> 1:12:03.000 RB one and our Hearts Weekly must start Brandon Ayuk 1:12:03.240 --> 1:12:06.400 given him a Grade A wide Receiver nine in Fantasy 1:12:06.640 --> 1:12:10.479 so far. This is a smash matchup for Ayuk. We 1:12:10.600 --> 1:12:12.479 talked about this a couple of times already this year. 1:12:12.560 --> 1:12:15.880 Ayuk is the forty nine Ers man coverage beater three 1:12:16.040 --> 1:12:19.200 point eight yards per route run against man. This year, 1:12:19.680 --> 1:12:23.519 the Cowboys are super duper man heavy in their coverage. Yeah, 1:12:23.600 --> 1:12:27.519 Ayuk's gonna smoke them. Deebo, Samuel, he's gonna get a 1:12:27.600 --> 1:12:31.879 CE from me. Zero targets for Deebo last week, despite 1:12:31.960 --> 1:12:34.280 running eighty one percent of the roads. 1:12:34.320 --> 1:12:36.040 Well, I didn't realize he was that active. It was 1:12:36.120 --> 1:12:39.200 all decoy with those Yeah, all. 1:12:39.160 --> 1:12:41.640 A decoy roll banged up a course with he had 1:12:41.680 --> 1:12:44.439 a tweak knee played through. He had the rib injury before. 1:12:45.040 --> 1:12:47.519 We'll see if this is indicative of anything or not. 1:12:47.800 --> 1:12:52.360 But Deebo was taken off the injury report officially on Friday. Yeah, 1:12:52.520 --> 1:12:54.559 So where are we gonna get another decoy week? Does 1:12:54.600 --> 1:12:56.800 you get to play more you know, or get more 1:12:56.880 --> 1:12:59.360 targets that I'm not sure of, But I will say 1:12:59.400 --> 1:13:02.200 in terms of the it's an IU game because of 1:13:02.240 --> 1:13:04.760 the coverage tendencies of the opponent as opposed to Debo. 1:13:04.920 --> 1:13:07.160 Just outside of the stuff that I just said, forty 1:13:07.240 --> 1:13:09.599 nine ers don't throw d ball. The ball nearly as 1:13:09.680 --> 1:13:12.000 much against man coverage. Deebo is the guy who kills 1:13:12.040 --> 1:13:15.120 zone coverage. I'm only giving Deebo a seat in this game. 1:13:15.560 --> 1:13:18.040 Breck Perdy, I love him this week he is might 1:13:18.080 --> 1:13:20.080 take a chance on me quarterback. I think he's gonna 1:13:20.080 --> 1:13:23.280 have a really big game. George Kittle Gonna give him 1:13:23.280 --> 1:13:25.960 a grade of B. Kittle had the seven catches for 1:13:26.080 --> 1:13:29.839 ninety yards in Week three, but thirty or less receiving 1:13:29.960 --> 1:13:32.800 yards in the other games so far, has a twenty 1:13:32.880 --> 1:13:35.960 three percent first re target scheer though versus man like 1:13:36.080 --> 1:13:38.479 the Cowboys are, so I think the targets could tick 1:13:38.560 --> 1:13:41.960 up here for George Kittle. Especially if deebo Is isn't 1:13:41.960 --> 1:13:44.360 one hundred percent despite me taking off the injury or right, 1:13:44.760 --> 1:13:44.920 you know. 1:13:45.000 --> 1:13:49.040 We may find out this Dallas defense, which looks dominating, 1:13:49.280 --> 1:13:51.040 it's got a little bit of fraud to them. Right, 1:13:51.160 --> 1:13:54.880 They faced Daniel Jones, Zach Wilson, Josh Dobbs and Mac 1:13:54.960 --> 1:13:58.280 Jones Bailey's appy combo planner. Yeah, you know, granted they 1:13:58.439 --> 1:14:00.800 forced though some of those starters. Know bench some of 1:14:00.840 --> 1:14:03.240 those starters in doing it, but you know this is 1:14:03.280 --> 1:14:04.840 their first test against a real offense. 1:14:04.960 --> 1:14:06.559 It's a different thing here, for sure. 1:14:06.680 --> 1:14:11.400 Absolutely, absolutely, when we come back, premature speculation, guys, you 1:14:11.479 --> 1:14:13.559 can pick up now that other people will be trying 1:14:13.640 --> 1:14:16.960 to pick up after this weekend's games. Find out who 1:14:17.080 --> 1:14:18.080 they are when. 1:14:18.000 --> 1:14:18.639 We come back. 1:14:18.920 --> 1:14:41.839 It's Fantasy Football Weekly final segment. Fantasy Football Weekly strongly 1:14:42.000 --> 1:14:44.759 encourage you to try a brand new shiny Guillotine league. 1:14:44.760 --> 1:14:47.680 You can always draft a new team fourteenth weeks left 1:14:47.760 --> 1:14:49.400 to play a lot of time left. Of course, you 1:14:49.439 --> 1:14:52.280 know the format works. Instead of playing head to head 1:14:52.360 --> 1:14:55.639 every week, the low scoring team gets chopped from the league, 1:14:55.680 --> 1:14:57.320 their players go to the waiver wire, and the rest 1:14:57.320 --> 1:15:00.400 of us build superstar lineups. That just get over the 1:15:00.439 --> 1:15:02.760 course of the season. You don't have to be first, 1:15:02.840 --> 1:15:05.479 You just don't be last in any given week. Avoid 1:15:05.520 --> 1:15:08.160 the chopping block. Last man standing wins the whole thing. 1:15:08.240 --> 1:15:14.360 Guillotine leagues dot Com, it's time for premature speculation. We 1:15:14.479 --> 1:15:17.400 give you three players others will be trying to pick 1:15:17.479 --> 1:15:20.599 up later. You'll be glad you already have. We begin 1:15:20.720 --> 1:15:21.479 with Matt Harrison. 1:15:21.840 --> 1:15:23.839 I think you'll be glad if you pick up Rashie 1:15:23.960 --> 1:15:27.040 Rice before this week's game against the Vikings. Rice. By 1:15:27.080 --> 1:15:31.759 the way, thorneistrom original forty six percent rostered on sleeper 1:15:32.640 --> 1:15:35.360 has seen twelve targets over the last two weeks as 1:15:35.400 --> 1:15:38.200 his role has expanded from week two to week three 1:15:38.280 --> 1:15:40.120 to week four. And there's a lot of guys on 1:15:40.160 --> 1:15:42.920 this roster from a wide receiver perspective, but Rice is 1:15:42.960 --> 1:15:45.760 the only one who's seen some consistent growth over the 1:15:45.800 --> 1:15:47.560 past three weeks. And if you're going to speculate on 1:15:47.600 --> 1:15:50.320 a cheaps wide receiver being viable at all this year, 1:15:50.560 --> 1:15:51.280 he's my choice. 1:15:51.400 --> 1:15:55.200 Yeah, why pick other receivers we know aren't reliable? Yeah, 1:15:55.320 --> 1:15:57.600 Like I don't know MVS right, you never you know, 1:15:58.200 --> 1:16:00.360 good luck guessing that one. Game a month when you 1:16:00.400 --> 1:16:01.360 wish you'd started him. 1:16:01.400 --> 1:16:03.480 Oopsy drops the Kadarius Tony. 1:16:03.320 --> 1:16:06.080 Yeah right, yeah, No more like Oopsy there goes my 1:16:06.160 --> 1:16:10.040 Hammi Kadarius Tony. Yeah all right. Thor your your premature 1:16:10.120 --> 1:16:11.160 speculation player. 1:16:11.720 --> 1:16:15.640 This is my for my superflexers out there, and I 1:16:15.800 --> 1:16:18.479 sort of, you know, hinted at this one earlier when 1:16:18.479 --> 1:16:21.000 we were talking about Desmond Ritter and my expectation that 1:16:21.080 --> 1:16:23.920 he's going to get the hook. Taylor Heineke is my 1:16:24.040 --> 1:16:28.120 prespeculation this week. If Desmond Rider plays poorly, I believe 1:16:28.160 --> 1:16:31.240 he is going to get benched. Heinike thirty four hundred 1:16:31.240 --> 1:16:33.679 and nineteen passing yards and twenty one touchdowns of fifteen 1:16:33.760 --> 1:16:36.840 starts back in twenty twenty one for the Commanders. In 1:16:36.960 --> 1:16:40.240 super flex leagues, Heineke could be startable as a quarterback 1:16:40.280 --> 1:16:43.240 two in his good matchups. And here is where I'm 1:16:43.280 --> 1:16:45.200 going with that. The Falcons have a bunch of them 1:16:45.240 --> 1:16:48.479 coming up super favorable schedule over the next five games. 1:16:48.640 --> 1:16:51.599 The Falcons have a plus matchups against the Titans, Vikings, 1:16:51.640 --> 1:16:55.000 and Cardinals in that stretch. Again, if Ritter struggles this week, 1:16:55.080 --> 1:16:56.240 it's Taylor Heineke time. 1:16:56.520 --> 1:16:59.839 I'm gonna riff off of that and go with another 1:17:00.680 --> 1:17:04.160 veteran quarterback that could get moved from his team to 1:17:04.280 --> 1:17:07.920 a quarterback needy team, and that's Andy Dalton. You know, 1:17:08.040 --> 1:17:10.920 if something happens, let's look at here. I'll give you 1:17:11.000 --> 1:17:13.320 four teams that are possible destinations. Well three and a half. 1:17:13.920 --> 1:17:15.640 I don't think your I think your Falcons just go 1:17:15.680 --> 1:17:18.200 to Heineke. I don't think they would actually acquire Andy Dalton. 1:17:18.479 --> 1:17:22.360 How about the Patriots in desperate trouble at quarterback. How 1:17:22.400 --> 1:17:25.599 about the Jets trying to keep their seats alive, right yep? 1:17:25.760 --> 1:17:29.320 How about the Steelers where they might want to decide 1:17:29.360 --> 1:17:30.840 to just sit Kenny Pickett for a while. 1:17:30.960 --> 1:17:33.680 Yeah, we're getting close to yeah, or just anything. 1:17:33.400 --> 1:17:35.599 Happens to any of the other starting quarterbacks in the league, 1:17:35.640 --> 1:17:39.160 somebody gets hurt on a on a contending team, Andy 1:17:39.240 --> 1:17:42.479 Dalton makes the most sense. Carolina is fully invested in 1:17:42.600 --> 1:17:44.800 getting Bryce Young all the reps that he can get. 1:17:45.439 --> 1:17:49.120 Dalton could walk into basically any locker room and be 1:17:49.200 --> 1:17:53.280 an effective starter one week later. Effective not great. So again, 1:17:53.360 --> 1:17:56.880 two quarterback leagues, super flex leagues. If you're looking for 1:17:56.960 --> 1:17:59.040 a stash guy, just to see how this thing plays out. 1:17:59.160 --> 1:18:02.639 Andy Dalton is acquirable for probably like a fourth round pick, 1:18:03.040 --> 1:18:05.160 so you could afford to get him. He doesn't cost 1:18:05.200 --> 1:18:06.920 you a lot on the salary cap, and he could 1:18:07.160 --> 1:18:08.800 find himself in a landing spot that's better. 1:18:09.160 --> 1:18:11.639 Sory. Are you saying he's a mustache? Oh? 1:18:12.479 --> 1:18:13.760 I like it? I like it? 1:18:13.920 --> 1:18:14.360 Well done? 1:18:15.040 --> 1:18:15.200 Or not? 1:18:15.640 --> 1:18:15.760 Oh? 1:18:16.000 --> 1:18:18.639 Okay, let's start back to the matchups. 1:18:18.720 --> 1:18:20.080 Matt I apologize. 1:18:20.320 --> 1:18:24.479 That's fine. Ram's taking on Philadelphia, and everybody wants to know. 1:18:25.800 --> 1:18:27.320 Do I start Cooper Cup? 1:18:28.680 --> 1:18:28.920 Yeah? 1:18:29.040 --> 1:18:29.640 I think you do. 1:18:30.479 --> 1:18:32.519 We can start over on the Rams side. Cooper Cup 1:18:32.640 --> 1:18:34.880 does return this week. How do we feel about this 1:18:35.000 --> 1:18:35.879 for Puka Nakua? 1:18:36.000 --> 1:18:36.160 Though? 1:18:36.720 --> 1:18:38.600 In my mind I think they're both startable with B 1:18:38.760 --> 1:18:41.360 grades here, even Cup right out of the gate. Both 1:18:41.400 --> 1:18:43.759 of them are in the breakfast club with Matthew Stafford, 1:18:43.840 --> 1:18:47.000 so I don't think Nakua and his targets dry up here. 1:18:47.400 --> 1:18:49.760 He's probably not going to get twenty targets like you 1:18:49.840 --> 1:18:53.000 did in week two, but ten targets seems reasonable. That's 1:18:53.000 --> 1:18:55.040 what he had last week when he had nine catches 1:18:55.080 --> 1:18:57.799 one hundred and sixty three yards in a score the Eagles. 1:18:57.840 --> 1:19:01.120 By the way, bottom ten in receptions, yards and touchdowns 1:19:01.120 --> 1:19:03.240 allowed to the wide receiver position, so it's a fine 1:19:03.280 --> 1:19:06.040 start here for Cup as well. I think Atwell's probably 1:19:06.080 --> 1:19:08.519 the guy who loses the target share here. I'd leave 1:19:08.600 --> 1:19:11.760 him on the bench, but fire up Cooper Cup and 1:19:11.960 --> 1:19:15.640 Pooka Nakua with B grades. Tyler Higbee, also getting a 1:19:15.680 --> 1:19:18.240 B grade, averaging six and a half targets per week, 1:19:18.320 --> 1:19:20.360 faces one of the worst tight end defenses in the 1:19:20.439 --> 1:19:23.959 league in Philly. Again, Eagles are bottom ten in receptions, 1:19:24.080 --> 1:19:26.960 yards and touchdowns to the tight end position. Game script 1:19:27.040 --> 1:19:29.360 probably dictates that the Rams are playing from behind in 1:19:29.439 --> 1:19:31.760 this one too, and passing a lot, which is why 1:19:31.760 --> 1:19:35.080 I like Matthew Stafford with a B grade. It's true 1:19:35.680 --> 1:19:38.000 that he only has three passing scores on the season, 1:19:38.120 --> 1:19:40.800 but this is the first time that Stafford and Cooper 1:19:40.840 --> 1:19:43.960 Cup have been healthy and on the field together since 1:19:44.040 --> 1:19:47.439 like the Super Bowl two years ago, so I really 1:19:47.640 --> 1:19:49.559 like this. The Eagles are allowing an average of two 1:19:49.640 --> 1:19:51.800 hundred and seventy nine yards and two and a quarter 1:19:51.880 --> 1:19:54.960 passing scores per game to opposing quarterbacks. It's tough to 1:19:55.040 --> 1:19:57.360 run on them, and the game scripts, like I said, 1:19:57.400 --> 1:20:00.320 have dictated the teams have had to pass. Why I 1:20:00.520 --> 1:20:03.599 don't like Kyron Williams this week? The Eagles are top 1:20:03.720 --> 1:20:06.720 five in yards per carry allowed at two point nine 1:20:07.240 --> 1:20:10.360 combo yards allowed at only eighty four per game, and 1:20:10.400 --> 1:20:13.080 they've only given up one touchdown to the position this season. 1:20:13.120 --> 1:20:15.439 And we mentioned it's probably the cell high moment for Williams. 1:20:15.680 --> 1:20:18.479 I think this is it right here. We saw ninety 1:20:18.560 --> 1:20:21.960 nine percent of the running back snaps go to Williams 1:20:22.000 --> 1:20:24.479 in weeks two and three when they exiled cam Akers. 1:20:24.960 --> 1:20:27.120 But Ronnie Rivers came in last week and picked up 1:20:27.120 --> 1:20:30.000 twenty seven percent of the snaps. That number might continue 1:20:30.040 --> 1:20:33.080 to grow. I'll give Kyrin the C grade, but I 1:20:33.200 --> 1:20:35.479 don't like it, and it's about the lowest C grade 1:20:35.520 --> 1:20:37.639 there is. Like if there was a lot of guys 1:20:37.640 --> 1:20:40.160 who are C grades, he'd be the lowest one in 1:20:40.240 --> 1:20:41.320 my rankings. Three's there. 1:20:41.439 --> 1:20:44.280 He's the most SA of the seas, bottom of the seas. 1:20:44.200 --> 1:20:46.640 Like the most D of the seas. Maybe on the 1:20:46.680 --> 1:20:49.280 other side, Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown, I think they're 1:20:49.320 --> 1:20:52.920 obvious A grades. Even in a somewhat difficult matchup DeVonta Smith. 1:20:53.040 --> 1:20:55.280 He still gets a B grade too. He's been seeing 1:20:55.320 --> 1:20:57.920 about twenty percent of his team's target share, and he's 1:20:57.960 --> 1:21:00.840 got thirty seven percent of the team's air yards. Kobe 1:21:00.960 --> 1:21:03.960 Durant and Akello Witherspoon have been well below average, and 1:21:04.000 --> 1:21:06.559 Smith runs from everywhere on the field, so he gets 1:21:06.600 --> 1:21:09.479 to see both of them. A ton. Dallas Goddard just 1:21:09.560 --> 1:21:12.720 a C grade. He's averaging just four point seventy five 1:21:12.800 --> 1:21:15.559 target per game. Yeah, it's brutal. 1:21:15.720 --> 1:21:18.639 These guys are gonna fish with like one hundred catches 1:21:18.720 --> 1:21:22.000 for one hundred catches for four hundred yards on the season. 1:21:22.160 --> 1:21:24.800 Shane Steichen took all of the plays that were for 1:21:24.920 --> 1:21:26.439 Dallas Goddard, brought him to Indy. 1:21:26.600 --> 1:21:30.240 He did and where Jelanie Woods. Some day it's gonna 1:21:30.280 --> 1:21:32.040 come off ir and dominate, I swear. 1:21:32.200 --> 1:21:32.400 Yeah. 1:21:32.640 --> 1:21:36.400 Speaking of Indy, the three nondescript Colts tight ends combined 1:21:36.439 --> 1:21:38.400 for six catches, one hundred and seven yards and two 1:21:38.479 --> 1:21:42.920 scores last week against this team. That's what's booing Dallas 1:21:42.960 --> 1:21:46.040 Goddard here. The Rams defense not that great against the 1:21:46.120 --> 1:21:49.640 tight end DeAndre Swift. It's not the easiest matchup, but 1:21:49.680 --> 1:21:51.559 he still gets a be He's seeing about two thirds 1:21:51.600 --> 1:21:54.000 of the snaps over the last three weeks, and that's 1:21:54.120 --> 1:21:56.719 vaulted him into the top ten of fantasy runners because 1:21:56.720 --> 1:21:59.320 of it. However, the Rams aren't giving up a ton 1:21:59.439 --> 1:22:02.280 to opposing They're seventh in the league in total yards 1:22:02.560 --> 1:22:05.160 allowed to opposing backs at about ninety five per game, 1:22:05.920 --> 1:22:09.839 and they've only allowed nine total receptions to back nine times. 1:22:10.439 --> 1:22:12.960 I was on that one. Good. Oh, you were totally 1:22:13.040 --> 1:22:15.519 ready there. That's the best in the league. So DeAndre 1:22:15.640 --> 1:22:19.120 Swift will be you know, it's okay, It's okay, match. 1:22:19.320 --> 1:22:21.360 I keep forgetting my puka music. 1:22:22.320 --> 1:22:25.400 Yeah, this is just relaxing. I like this a lot. 1:22:25.439 --> 1:22:26.040 It is nice. 1:22:26.280 --> 1:22:26.479 Yeah. 1:22:26.640 --> 1:22:29.719 You know, why can't we do Fantasy Football Weekly live 1:22:29.800 --> 1:22:30.599 from Oahu? 1:22:30.880 --> 1:22:32.439 I mean, you know, do you think we could get 1:22:32.800 --> 1:22:35.760 the station to get a trip like like they do 1:22:35.960 --> 1:22:37.920 for the Power Trip Morning show out to Vegas. We 1:22:37.960 --> 1:22:41.320 could get a Hawaii Fantasy Football Weekly training camp out there. 1:22:41.439 --> 1:22:43.800 I don't see why we can bring the Pro Bowl back? Yeah, 1:22:43.920 --> 1:22:46.760 to do the Pro Bowl absolutely. The Monday night er 1:22:46.840 --> 1:22:50.040 is Green Bay at Las Vegas. You want to check 1:22:50.080 --> 1:22:54.080 the status of the absolutely wrecked Green Bay offensive line. 1:22:54.200 --> 1:22:58.680 David Baktiari God bless him. Five knee surgeries he's got 1:22:58.720 --> 1:23:01.080 another one coming up. It'll be a fifth knee surgery 1:23:01.439 --> 1:23:04.840 in three years. Awful situation. He's on ir now. But 1:23:04.960 --> 1:23:08.200 also you got a monitor Elton Jenkins and John Runyan 1:23:08.200 --> 1:23:11.280 who both may not play in this Monday nighter. If 1:23:11.400 --> 1:23:15.280 they don't, and I've dropped all these packers one letter 1:23:15.520 --> 1:23:18.880 grade because of these offensive line worries. If between now 1:23:18.960 --> 1:23:21.920 and Monday, you find out that Jenkins and Runyon are going, 1:23:22.080 --> 1:23:24.280 then by all means upgrade these guys. But that's the 1:23:24.400 --> 1:23:26.760 presumption I've got going into this one. Let me start 1:23:26.800 --> 1:23:30.920 with the wide receivers. Romeo Dobbs, nobody talking about a 1:23:30.960 --> 1:23:34.280 top fifteen receiver in most fantasy formats. He's just a 1:23:34.320 --> 1:23:37.519 weekly starter. You just start him every week. Now then 1:23:37.560 --> 1:23:40.320 an obvious one against a bad raider secondary. This week, 1:23:40.640 --> 1:23:43.040 he runs predominantly on the left side of the field, 1:23:43.240 --> 1:23:47.000 which puts him up against something called Jacoryan Bennett, a 1:23:47.120 --> 1:23:50.280 rookie who's learning some tough lessons on the fly. Bennett 1:23:50.280 --> 1:23:52.760 giving a big plays with the reception of at least 1:23:52.880 --> 1:23:55.759 thirty two yards in three of four games and allowing 1:23:55.760 --> 1:23:57.760 an opposer passer rating of one hundred and thirty eight. 1:23:58.240 --> 1:24:02.320 Romeo Dobbs b great in the one. Christian Watson on 1:24:02.479 --> 1:24:05.040 the field for twenty six snaps last week in his 1:24:05.160 --> 1:24:08.200 return from the hamstring injury. He's still on the injury list, 1:24:08.320 --> 1:24:10.320 so I think I'm gonna show a little more caution 1:24:10.439 --> 1:24:12.599 with him with just the C grade because he's still 1:24:12.680 --> 1:24:14.360 not one hundred percent and I don't know that the 1:24:14.400 --> 1:24:16.519 snap crount is going to vault. It'll go up, but 1:24:16.520 --> 1:24:19.240 I don't know if it vaults up. Last year, he 1:24:19.400 --> 1:24:22.240 was averaging more like fifty snaps a game, so hopefully 1:24:22.240 --> 1:24:25.160 he can get closer to that point here. Watson's also 1:24:25.200 --> 1:24:27.080 going to see some of the Jacorey and Bennett guy 1:24:27.439 --> 1:24:30.200 along with gambling cornerback Marcus Peters in this one. They 1:24:30.240 --> 1:24:32.880 both allow a passer ratings so above one hundred and twelve, 1:24:33.120 --> 1:24:36.040 and both have allowed a touchdown in their coverage already. 1:24:36.840 --> 1:24:40.200 Last year, four of Watson's six touchdowns came versus man. 1:24:40.640 --> 1:24:43.600 Last season, Las Vegas cornerbacks play man on about a 1:24:43.760 --> 1:24:45.600 third of their plays, So there's going to be some 1:24:45.720 --> 1:24:49.000 opportunities here, you know, you know, the dal Christian Watson 1:24:49.080 --> 1:24:51.559 is a boomerbust guy C grade. Hopefully it works out 1:24:52.560 --> 1:24:55.920 I'm keeping Jaden Reid in my starting lineup. The rookie 1:24:55.960 --> 1:24:58.519 didn't see any loss of playing time when Christian Watson 1:24:58.600 --> 1:25:00.800 came on the field last week because he runs from 1:25:00.800 --> 1:25:03.559 the slot and that puts him up against cornerback Amik Robertson, 1:25:03.760 --> 1:25:06.200 who got hurt in Week one, then came back last 1:25:06.240 --> 1:25:08.120 week and probably gave up fifty five yards and a 1:25:08.200 --> 1:25:12.439 touchdown in his coverage. Jayden Reid C grade. So if 1:25:12.479 --> 1:25:14.800 I've got b's and c's and these receivers, it means 1:25:14.800 --> 1:25:19.000 I like Jordan Love at least some. He's NFL's bottom 1:25:19.120 --> 1:25:23.360 ranked passer by completion percentage, below guys like Zach Wilson 1:25:23.520 --> 1:25:27.640 and Kenny Pickett and Desmond Ritter, but Jordan loves a 1:25:27.800 --> 1:25:31.360 highly inconsistent passer being offset a lot by his scrambling, 1:25:31.400 --> 1:25:33.360 which is netted him twenty yards and half a rushing 1:25:33.439 --> 1:25:36.320 touchdown per game. And the Raiders have allowed multiple touchdowns 1:25:36.360 --> 1:25:39.479 to every opposing quarterback, including two rushing touchdowns last week. 1:25:39.560 --> 1:25:41.760 So between air and ground, I still like Jordan Love 1:25:41.800 --> 1:25:43.679 a lot B grade here and again, if the offensive 1:25:43.720 --> 1:25:47.200 line clicks in with some good news on Jenkins and Runyon, 1:25:47.240 --> 1:25:49.200 we could even see an A grade on Jordan Love 1:25:49.320 --> 1:25:53.639 In this game, AJ Dillon's dead to us. AJ Dillon 1:25:53.840 --> 1:25:56.320 just isn't good. He's a big guy who does not 1:25:56.479 --> 1:25:59.120 break any tackles and has got no wiggle, no footwork. 1:25:59.560 --> 1:26:03.000 He's he's on the bench, and he's a drop candidate 1:26:03.120 --> 1:26:06.320 for your team. Because even when Jones misses games, you 1:26:06.439 --> 1:26:09.480 can't start him. He doesn't do anything in those situations. 1:26:10.439 --> 1:26:15.240 I'm totally out on him. Aaron Jones should if there's 1:26:15.280 --> 1:26:17.439 any justice in the world, Aaron Jones should get the 1:26:17.520 --> 1:26:19.960 vast majority of the work in this offense. Now, he 1:26:20.000 --> 1:26:21.920 had nowhere to run last week due to the Packers' 1:26:21.960 --> 1:26:23.880 offensive line. That was a wreck, and that worries me 1:26:23.960 --> 1:26:26.160 here again to this week. So I've only got the 1:26:26.240 --> 1:26:28.960 C grad on Aaron Jones. No Packer running back has 1:26:29.040 --> 1:26:32.720 surpassed fifty five rushing yards this season. The Raiders have 1:26:32.800 --> 1:26:35.519 held three or four starting runners to sixty five rushing 1:26:35.600 --> 1:26:39.880 yards or less. So hopefully Jones is hamstring adequately healed. 1:26:40.240 --> 1:26:41.639 They need to give him a lot of use. I'd 1:26:41.680 --> 1:26:43.280 like to think it's going to happen here, but there's 1:26:43.280 --> 1:26:45.040 still a lot of variables and I can only go 1:26:45.120 --> 1:26:48.240 see grad on Aaron Jones. Josh Jacobs going to the 1:26:48.280 --> 1:26:50.800 Las Vegas side has got Pro Football focused. His third 1:26:51.000 --> 1:26:54.479 highest receiving grade among running backs despite posting the tenth 1:26:54.600 --> 1:26:57.680 worst yards over expectation by next Gen Stats. He saw 1:26:57.720 --> 1:27:00.760 a career high eleven targets last week from Aiden O'Connell, 1:27:01.439 --> 1:27:03.160 so the shift of the rookie was not a downgrade. 1:27:03.200 --> 1:27:05.439 O'conne will be on the bench here. They have cleared 1:27:05.560 --> 1:27:09.040 Jimmy Garoppolo for this game, which is great news. Garoppolo's 1:27:09.040 --> 1:27:11.360 played pretty well in this offense and thrown way more 1:27:11.439 --> 1:27:17.599 downfield that we thought he was capable of more on Jacobs. 1:27:17.680 --> 1:27:20.080 Packers allowing the fifth most rushing yards the fifth most 1:27:20.160 --> 1:27:23.040 receiving yards to opposing running backs. That's one hundred and 1:27:23.160 --> 1:27:26.439 sixty total yards per game, second worst in the league. 1:27:27.000 --> 1:27:29.560 So if one hundred and sixty yards are coming to 1:27:29.600 --> 1:27:33.719 the Raiders backs, most of that's going to Josh Jacobs 1:27:34.160 --> 1:27:37.479 a grade. You'll need to watch DeVante Adams' status here. 1:27:37.600 --> 1:27:40.960 He did not practice Thursday or Friday with his shoulder injury, 1:27:41.600 --> 1:27:44.960 so you'll have to give that some consideration here. The 1:27:45.000 --> 1:27:47.960 good news is Jimmy Garoppolo's back and he's not dinking 1:27:48.040 --> 1:27:51.200 and Duncan Adams tied for second interceptions of ten or 1:27:51.320 --> 1:27:53.719 more yards. He's also number one in red zone targets. 1:27:54.000 --> 1:27:56.639 If he plays, He's a B grade with the shoulder injury. 1:27:57.479 --> 1:28:01.080 Jimmy Garoppolo B grade. The Packers have gotten a lot 1:28:01.120 --> 1:28:04.920 of heat on opposing opposing opponents, telling twenty two quarterback 1:28:04.960 --> 1:28:07.439 pressures per game. But Garoppolo just survived J. 1:28:08.640 --> 1:28:08.880 TJ. 1:28:09.000 --> 1:28:11.400 Watt and the Steelers in his last game, and Jay R. 1:28:11.439 --> 1:28:13.479 Alexander may not go in this one. So we'll give 1:28:13.479 --> 1:28:15.840 a B grade to Jimmy Garoppolo and his C grade 1:28:15.880 --> 1:28:19.000 for Jacoby Myers, who's emerged as the clear number two 1:28:19.080 --> 1:28:21.880 and would get an upgrade if Devanta Adams can't go. 1:28:23.400 --> 1:28:23.519 Who. 1:28:24.040 --> 1:28:27.160 That's about it, everybody, Wow, lots of stuff to get through. 1:28:27.479 --> 1:28:29.559 Best of luck in the first of the bye weeks. 1:28:29.840 --> 1:28:30.640 Yeah, go get them. 1:28:30.640 --> 1:28:35.680 Hopefully you weren't playing against Justin Fields DJ Moore and 1:28:35.800 --> 1:28:37.960 if you were, good luck, and we hope this show helped. 1:28:38.000 --> 1:28:39.120 We'll talk to you a week everybody. 1:28:39.240 --> 1:28:39.639 Bye bye. 1:28:46.400 --> 1:28:50.000 Fantasy Football Weekly is a production of iHeartRadio.
