It should be miserable like it is 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:21.280 here and throughout most or not all of Minnesota. UM, 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:23.880 and we'd like to we'd like to celebrate the fact 0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:26.560 that you listen from the deer stand. I almost took 0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:30.880 a deer out with my car as a celebration last 0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:36.920 night of all places on one hundred. That's crazy. Uh 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.760 so we'll retweet to all fifty summit thousand of my 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:42.080 followers will be like, why, why in the world has 0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:45.320 Charged doing this? You'll find out. So there we go 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:50.600 plenty to get to. Now. Oh, by the way, ladies, 0:02:51.919 --> 0:03:00.200 the phone number six five one nine five three to six. Now, 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.600 when you're twenty plus years of doing the show, charges 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:06.120 a guy ever called in after maybe like taking himself 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:10.400 or hit himself in the junk to know. More commonly, 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:14.760 it's the six year old girl who's trying to in fact, 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.480 in classic fashion, trying to find out if her dad 0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:23.520 if she quote should start chris fulm falla And so 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:27.120 that's you know, that's the tricky one, remember, because it's 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:30.160 so adorable. So with a six year old it's pretty cute. 0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:34.080 We don't encourage that because seriously, we want we want 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.640 more women to play. We love the women play. This 0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:40.720 is a great opportunity for us to um to help 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:44.840 make a comfortable environment for our female listeners. Before we 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:47.080 dive into all of the meat of the show, let 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:50.160 me mention this ran into this on Twitter and was 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:53.560 surprised that this is even a thing. But there are 0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.160 a handful of people out there. When the Deshaun Watson 0:03:56.200 --> 0:04:01.400 news broke, was it Wednesday, I think it was Wednesday. 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:06.560 On Wednesday, some people immediately as the news was breaking 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:11.880 traded away to Shaun Watson at full value, not disclosing 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:18.279 the injury. That's a d bag move right there. Commissioners, 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:20.720 we talked about this all the time about how you 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:23.880 you know, we we think you should basically never veto 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:27.480 a trade unless it's extraordinary circumstance that has nothing to 0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:30.920 do with the judgment of the two players. But this 0:04:30.960 --> 0:04:34.120 is a scenario where Commissioners, you can jump in and 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:37.400 you can undo that trade. Because if you're trading somebody 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.440 who is hurt or maybe hurt and you just have 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:43.360 you happen to find out before the recipient of the trade, 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:46.520 that's not that's not a legitimate trade. You have to 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:49.440 disclose that. Also, the trades that are already you know, 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:52.120 hanging out there that had been proposed with Watson involved, 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:55.680 and then that same thing, yes, the same thing, that's 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:59.760 a great point, same exact thing. So commissioners, yes, you 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.760 and you can get involved. Oh, we're already getting our 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:08.239 first our first pictures from deer hunters in the deer 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:10.880 stand in the middle of the fields and forests. We 0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:15.080 love it. That's fun um at Paul Charchion. By the ways, 0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.599 the Twitter feed for that Commissioners, you can get involved 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:19.640 on the Watson deal and you can undo those trades, 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:23.400 and you should. When I said this on Twitter, outrage 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:26.960 from people whore like caveat emptor you know, if you're 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.960 the buyer, it's your job to make sure that everybody 0:05:29.960 --> 0:05:31.719 in this deal is healthy and you should be googling 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:34.400 it and blah blah blah, what what is wrong with you? 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:37.560 That's absurd. People that help trades that are already sitting 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:40.200 right and trades that are already out there or whatever else. 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:42.680 You don't hit the submit button until you've done your research. 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:46.359 I think that's that's not that's not accurate. People have 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:51.920 jobs and lives and you can't always know. All right, 0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:54.200 let's move on plenty you get to in the course 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:57.039 of the show. We've got take a chance on me, 0:05:57.200 --> 0:06:02.159 five tough questions, premature speculation, Lightning, and we'll break down 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:05.960 all of the matchups light week, which is great. We 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.640 love that part um and ladies, we've talked about taking 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.640 your calls today just the the reality is that will 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:15.279 probably happen in about forty minutes. So we already have 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.760 a couple of a couple of female colors on hold. Howe, 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:20.679 I hope you will continue to hold, but the reality 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:22.920 is that that's probably coming up. In the third segment 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:26.479 of the show, we begin with our first matchup of 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:29.600 the day, and that is Falcons taking on the Panthers. 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:33.880 Scott Falcon's offense obviously has been extremely frustrating and now 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.080 they face a very good defense in the Panthers. So 0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:38.240 it doesn't feel like this is an opportunity to get healthy. 0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:40.960 It's yeah, it's rough. I don't like this matchup at 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:44.240 all for really anybody. But I am giving a se 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:47.160 grade to Ryan in the passing game. He couldn't get 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:49.320 out of his funk against the Jets. The Panthers are 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.479 top five against the past. It's gonna be tough. They've 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.400 They've held seven of their eight quarterbacks they've faced under 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:58.600 two and thirty yards. Brady the only one over that, 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.120 but Matt Ryan has had at least two on thirty 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.560 and a touchdown every game. He's been fairly consistent lee 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:07.360 average this year, so I'm still going to give him 0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:10.960 a starting grade. Julio Jones, He's had at least seventy 0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:14.120 yards in five last six games, but no opposing receiver 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:16.840 has been above ninety on the Panthers, so I think 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:19.320 maybe he's gonna land right in there. I'm giving him 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:22.280 a B grade. I I'm still a little positive about 0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:24.360 Jones this week. I don't know that he scores though. 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:27.200 Don't forget what was it three hundred yards in his 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.320 last game against Well It was actually the that was 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.440 the first of the two games. That was the game 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:37.200 in which ben ad been Wickery was summarily fired. After 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:40.600 the game and we we we started a whole new 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:43.880 adjective or a whole new now we have been That's right, 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:49.600 Julio ben wickerized him. Wow. Yeah. So also Mohammed Sannu, 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:51.960 I'm giving a B grade to mostly because he's going 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:54.280 to be in the slot going up against captain Munerland, 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:57.040 who's terribly graded by PFF, and he's got a five 0:07:57.080 --> 0:08:00.480 inch height advantage averaging eight and a half argets and 0:08:00.520 --> 0:08:03.160 seventy yards per games since he's come back into the lineup. 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.280 I like that matchup. I thought the Vikings might miss 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:07.760 captain Manlin more than it turns out they have. That 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:09.560 was I think that. I think the front office got 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:12.720 it right. Yep, I do too, Hooper, I'm I'm putting 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:14.520 on the bench. I said last week he's been hot 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:16.440 and cold. This week he gets a top ten defense 0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:20.920 against that ends Freeman. I would give him a C grade, 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:24.080 but I know that you have Jordan Howard, Melvin, Gordon McKinnon, 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.720 Bell Pats running backs all on by, So I'm gonna 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.640 give him a low B grade against a very tough defense. 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.920 But they haven't allowed to running back over ninety total yards. 0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:36.960 But Freeman's gaining seventeen touches a game and the Panthers 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:39.360 are allowing five receptions for a game, So maybe there's 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:41.600 some Maybe there's just enough to get him to a 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:47.160 low B. There. Coleman, I'm probably benching, but I'm probably bench. 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:49.480 We're letting the fact that it's a brutal bye week 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:54.000 affect our ranking. It's terrible it is. In a full week, 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:58.560 I think Coleman would probably be an exactly because he 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:01.240 is getting ten touches at game, and he does even 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:03.480 though he hasn't cut a lot of passes recently. He 0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:07.440 does get pass catching, so maybe he has just enough 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:09.920 to get you a CE this week. Alright, on the 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:15.559 Panthers side, Newton man. The Falcons defense is holding quarterbacks 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:18.480 to two yards. Over the last five, They've only allowed 0:09:18.480 --> 0:09:21.480 one yard game. But I think Newton can get enough 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:24.640 rushing even though he's only averaging two game over his 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:26.280 last three, I think he can get enough rushing to 0:09:26.280 --> 0:09:30.200 give you a C grade there. Uh. Over to the 0:09:30.240 --> 0:09:33.280 passing game and receiver Samuel and Shephard, I'm benching. I 0:09:33.320 --> 0:09:34.800 don't know what their role is going to be now 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:37.560 with with Benjamin gone, I don't know where the volume 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.800 is actually gonna go. I'm also benching Dixon twenty six 0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:42.719 yards a game over the last three in Atlanta's top 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:47.880 ten against That ends. No thanks, Bunches, I this is 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:50.000 isn't This is the only time you're ever gonna hear 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:54.240 me say this. I hate I cannot stand Bunches, but 0:09:54.760 --> 0:09:59.160 I might give him a grade this week. I know 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:01.360 I want to give him a B plus, but you 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:03.920 you don't are no pluses, and there are no pluses 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:06.959 in this show. Yeah, there's no crying in baseball, there's 0:10:06.960 --> 0:10:10.880 no pluses. And still he was already the target leader 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:13.040 on the team with eight point three targets per game 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:17.200 with Greg Olson out, so he's gonna draw top coverage. 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:19.200 But Atlanta has given up a touchdown to the number 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.920 one receiver in sixth straight. Fungus is the red zone 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:24.720 threat here and they've allowed sixty yards to three straight 0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:27.800 number one receivers. I think he's just gonna get ten 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:31.080 plus targets and have the volume. I'm benching Stewart because 0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:32.920 he's terrible this year. I don't care that he scored 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:37.240 last week. McCaffrey. Atlanta gets torched by pass catching running backs. 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:39.840 That's why I was all over Terry Cohen week one 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:43.360 on fanball dot com articles. It still holds true. They're 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:47.360 bad last year, they're bad this year. There McCaffrey, that's 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:49.839 his own. Atlanta is allowing seven catches and fifty five 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:52.480 yards receiving the running backs. McCaffrey. I'm giving an a 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:57.280 grade to all right, nice um. I like McCaffrey a lot. 0:10:57.320 --> 0:10:59.760 He's inside my top ten overall at the running back position. 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:03.319 This week, Bengals take on the Jaguars, and this is 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:07.080 a super dicey matchup, lowest grade of the year for 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:10.160 for A J. Green. For me, the Bengals have arguably 0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:12.920 the worst offensive line of football and the Jaguars have 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:17.080 the most sacks in the league by a mile. This 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:19.839 feels like a very dicey matchup for the passing game 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:21.959 to me. Brian, you see it that way? Oh yeah, 0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:23.959 no doubt. This is one of those times or A. J. 0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.400 Green definitely doesn't get an A. I'm still going to 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:28.000 give him a B here just because he is an 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.880 elite talent. But yeah, this is basically the worst matchup 0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.520 for wide receivers going up against the Jaguars. Jalen Ramsey 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:36.240 and A. J. Bouyer probably the best cornerback duo in 0:11:36.240 --> 0:11:39.920 the NFL right now. But Green is elite. Like I said, 0:11:39.920 --> 0:11:42.240 he does have several inches of height advantage on each guy, 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:45.400 and uh elite wide receivers faired okay against the Jaguars. 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:48.360 DeAndre Hopkins had seven for fifty five yards and a touchdown. 0:11:48.360 --> 0:11:51.240 Antonio Brown caught ten balls for a hundred fifty seven yards, 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:53.920 So some hope for Green, not for the other wide 0:11:53.920 --> 0:11:56.120 receivers though they are on the bench. The Jaguars have 0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:59.600 allowed one opposing wide receiver touchdown all year. That was Hopkins, 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:01.839 and they're allowing less than ten catches and a hundred 0:12:01.840 --> 0:12:04.360 and ten yards per game to wide receivers as a whole. 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.360 That is a awful. So they're on the bench, as 0:12:07.400 --> 0:12:10.320 is Tyler Croft. Uh he will get Sea grades in 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:12.440 the future and has in the past. Uh is averaging 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:14.439 more than five targets over his last four games, has 0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:17.199 scored three touchdowns in that span, but only one of 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:19.640 posing tight end it's top fifty yards against the Jaguars. 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:21.960 That was Delaney Walker in Week two, and only one 0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:24.200 Titan has scored against Jacksonville in their last four. So 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:26.880 Croft is on the bench, as is Andy Dalton for 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:30.280 pretty much obvious reasons. Jacksonville has allowed four passing touchdowns 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:33.280 and seven games no quarterback has thrown for multiple touchdowns 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:36.000 and only one has topped two hundred twenty five yards 0:12:36.000 --> 0:12:38.280 against the Jaguars this year. It's almost an auto bench 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:42.280 or any quarterback I've got, I've got Dalton below guys 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:44.559 like well, I think probably all of our take a 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:48.240 chance a mean quarterbacks. He's ranked like twenty three in 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:50.240 a in a in a week in which there are 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.959 six teams on by. It's that bad for Dalton. It's 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.520 it's that good for Joe Mixon this week though, probably 0:12:56.800 --> 0:12:59.000 give him an A. The Jacksonville ranks dead last and 0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:01.880 rushing yards allowed a hundred and sixty nine per game. UH, 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.160 it's no surprise. They are also dead last in d 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:06.560 v O d v O A against the run by 0:13:06.559 --> 0:13:10.480 football outsiders. UH. Running backs have also exposed Jacksonville through 0:13:10.480 --> 0:13:12.840 the air in recent weeks. Marlon Matt caught four passes 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:15.840 for forty yards. Levy on Bell caught ten passes. Low 0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:19.319 Powell and Elijah McGuire combined for six catches sixty five yards. 0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:22.600 Your boy Buck Allan caught five passes. Charge that's so yeah, 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.319 there's hope hope for mixing through the air here. UH. 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.240 Geo Bernard might snipe some of that pass work, but 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:31.559 he's still on the bench for me, as is Jeremy Hill. 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:33.240 You can find him on the bench like you find 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:36.720 Forrest Gump on the bench bus stop most weeks over 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:40.120 to Jacksonville. Leonard four net practicing in full. That means 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:43.000 he's back to an automatic A grade. You start him 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:48.000 against eleven werewolves on steroids. UH. Cincinnati has allowed the 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:50.280 fourth most red zone touches to running backs in four 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:53.280 net is a ruler of those rushing opportunities when healthy 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:54.800 as he is right now. So sh wouldn't have been 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:59.200 eleven werewolves at midnight probably, But uh, I just scribbled 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:01.640 that down real quick. Okay, I mean, I'm just trying 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:04.280 to help you out here, But how can they can 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:07.079 be on steroids at midnight during the full moon? Face, 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:09.440 I really want to play this thing out. Let's bake 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:12.320 that in much of an auto start letard for it is, Yes, 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:19.040 where was at midnight on Royds now cycle? Alan Hearns, 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:21.760 Mark Eastley and d D. Westbrook all on the bench? 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:25.040 Um Hearns is going to play? Mark east Lee might 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:28.040 might not. D D. Westbrook might might not. Um. All 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:29.600 I know is when you see t Y Hilton go 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:32.400 for two catches in fifteen yards against the Bengals, you're 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:34.760 not going to start any of these three. Uh. Just 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.760 the fun fact, Geronimo Allison, of all people, the only 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.000 wide receiver at to top seventy five yards against the 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:44.800 Bengals this year. And then water is wet, the sky 0:14:44.920 --> 0:14:47.760 is blue, and Blake Portals is on the bench. Yes, 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:53.200 Ravens take on the Titans, and a handful of C 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:56.560 grades here for the Bengals, do not chase last week's 0:14:56.600 --> 0:15:00.120 forty point uh explosion, in part because two of the 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:03.680 two of the touchdowns came from the defense and Joe 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:06.440 Flacco looks like he's gonna start, but he's been Fantasy 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:10.640 Football's worst starting quarterback by a mile, and when he's 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:13.240 on the bench. Jeremy Macklin from the passing game gets 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:15.960 a C grade, but as much as anything else, it's 0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:17.800 just because everybody else is hurting, there's nobody else to 0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:21.040 throw too. He does have a He's got a tougher 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:25.200 matchup out of the slot against Tennessee slack cornerback Logan Ryan, 0:15:25.320 --> 0:15:27.440 but because of all the injuries, they've actually split him 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:30.440 out wide a little bit, and if Mike Walls doesn't go, 0:15:30.640 --> 0:15:33.000 which could happen, then he gets a much more favorable 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:35.800 matchup on the outside against the Dory Jackson and Sean Simms, 0:15:36.080 --> 0:15:42.000 both below average cornerbacks. So a C grade barely for 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:44.680 Jeremy Macklin. C grades for the running game. I know 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:46.960 you want to chase. Alex Collins is a big explosion 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:50.160 from last week, but this team has been oddly reticent 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:53.240 to give him the ball despite his league leading average 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:58.360 of six yards per gary. Fortunately, Collins dominated last week 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:01.080 and you've gotta figure he's gotta show get a few 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:04.360 more looks this week. But the matchups brutal. Tennessee is 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:07.720 allowing the seventh fewest rushing yards, the fourth fewest yards 0:16:07.760 --> 0:16:10.800 per carry, just three point six. No runner against Tennessee 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:13.800 is top seventy seven yards and no runner has scored 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:17.760 a touchdown since Week four against Tennessee. Brutal matchup for 0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:20.040 Alex Collins, but you still start him with a C grade. 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:23.480 Bunk Gallen is a PPR option only he's managed at 0:16:23.560 --> 0:16:26.760 least four receptions in five games this year. He faces 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:29.200 the Titans defense that has allowed the six most receiving 0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:33.400 yards to backs, and in their last game Tennessee before 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:38.080 last week's by Cleveland, runners total ninety two receiving yards total. 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:41.080 So there's an angle for bunk Gallen right there. Let's 0:16:41.080 --> 0:16:44.440 go to the Tennessee side. It's only a handful of 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:47.400 SEA grades and that's it. C grades for the two runners, 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:50.720 de Marco Murray and Derrick Henry. Unfortunately, the Ravens defensive 0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:53.960 tackle Brandon Williams is back, and that means they've stopped 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:57.360 serving up free one yard games to opposing runners. Uh. 0:16:57.440 --> 0:17:00.480 Tennessee's offensive line is massively underachieving this year. They have 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:03.160 on paper like one of the three best offensive lines 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:05.960 in football, but they just aren't. They are not great 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:09.600 this year, and Murray and Henry are locked into Fantasy 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:14.520 Football's most frustrating time share. Normally, Murray gets a slide 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:16.960 edge over Henry because of his PPR potential, but the 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:19.840 Ravens are elite against running backs through the air. They're 0:17:19.840 --> 0:17:23.600 giving up the fourth fewest receptions to runners. No running 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:27.880 back has scored through the air against the Ravens this year. 0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:31.400 So just ce grades here for Murray and Henry. Let's 0:17:31.440 --> 0:17:34.119 go to the passing game. C grades abound here as 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:37.439 well well, actually just from just from Marcus Mariota C grade. 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:39.800 Last time we saw Mariota, he was going belly up 0:17:39.840 --> 0:17:42.879 against the Browns, and now he faces a much tougher opponent. 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:45.480 The Ravens the number three past defense and yards allowed, 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:48.800 the number four past defense and touchdowns allowed. They've also 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:53.640 allowed just three passing scores total in the last five games, 0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:57.440 so brutal matchup for Mariota here it really only giving 0:17:57.480 --> 0:17:59.480 him a C grade because six teams are on by 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:00.919 and I know you're in a pinch and you just 0:18:00.960 --> 0:18:03.359 lost to Shaun Watson, and it's the only reason he 0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:07.959 gets to see. All his receivers are on the bench. Matthews, Davis, 0:18:08.160 --> 0:18:11.119 Deck are his wide receivers. The Ravens have yet to 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:13.760 allow wide receiver to top ninety five yards all season. 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:17.080 They ranked fourth in yards to wide receivers allowed, second 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:20.080 and touchdowns allowed to wide receivers. I can't recommend any 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:22.679 of them here. They haven't allowed a wide receiver touchdown 0:18:22.720 --> 0:18:27.000 in three straight games. Decker, Davis, Matthews all on the bench. 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:29.280 What about the Laney Walker, you may ask, Well, he 0:18:29.320 --> 0:18:32.720 hasn't scored all season, and he's a game time decision 0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:36.840 with a foot injury. So and the Ravens have allowed 0:18:36.840 --> 0:18:39.720 a league high six tight end touchdowns, but three of 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:41.879 those six were that crazy London game where they gave 0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:45.600 up three of them to Marcedes Lewis inexplicably in one game. 0:18:45.760 --> 0:18:47.639 So I don't know if they're really that bad. Now, 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:52.000 if Walker doesn't go, then you could pivot to his backup. 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:56.800 I think I'm gonna say this right, JOHNU. Smith. I 0:18:56.840 --> 0:18:59.720 think it's John. I'm a Joni guy, but I guess 0:18:59.840 --> 0:19:02.320 I'll I'll fix that. John, go with John Oh John Smith. 0:19:02.440 --> 0:19:05.920 Now here's your weird factory to the day. John H. 0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:10.120 Smith currently leads all Tennessee receivers and touchdowns right now, 0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:14.399 and he hasn't scored in four games. He leads with 0:19:14.560 --> 0:19:17.560 two so you could pivot there if you're looking for 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:20.320 a cheap fan ball DFS angle, or you're just in 0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:23.560 a desperate spot for at the tight end position. We'll 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:25.879 take a break when we come back. Take a chance 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:28.359 on me. Nine players not normally in your starting lineup. 0:19:28.520 --> 0:19:30.200 We'll tell you who they are when we come back. 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:52.400 It was just a matter of time. Sooner or later 0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:56.800 a listener would send in their own version of take 0:19:56.840 --> 0:20:00.320 a chance on me, And that has happened. Like on 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:04.960 the key tar. No, this is some synthesizer, but it's 0:20:04.960 --> 0:20:07.199 got a very eighties to me. This has got an 0:20:07.240 --> 0:20:10.760 eighties John Carpenter feel to it. Do you remember The 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:15.560 Escape from New York, The Thing, Halloween? All those epic 0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:18.960 John Carpenter movies from the eighties which he did his 0:20:19.040 --> 0:20:21.919 own soundtracks. By the way, you don't see directors do 0:20:21.960 --> 0:20:25.920 their own soundtracks anymore, and probably rightfully. So take a chance. 0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:28.720 I mean, thank you listener, Mike by the way, um, 0:20:28.840 --> 0:20:30.600 take a chance. I me nine players not normally in 0:20:30.680 --> 0:20:33.560 starting lineup. Let's go to the quarterback position. Many of 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:35.960 these available on the waiver wire, and god you need it. 0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:39.400 This week we begin right here. Scott Fish quarterback. I'm 0:20:39.480 --> 0:20:46.400 gonna go with Tom Savage. Oh yeah, yeah, he's He's 0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:49.359 just got a great matchup this week. The Colts have 0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:54.400 allowed either three yards passing or multiple touchdowns to every 0:20:54.480 --> 0:21:00.160 quarterback they faced. It's in Tom Savage is three career games. 0:21:00.359 --> 0:21:02.879 He's played the Jags twice end of last season when 0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:06.240 they were very good and to start this season, and Cincinnati. 0:21:06.320 --> 0:21:08.680 At the end of last year, Cincinnati held six quarterbacks 0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:11.680 under two hundred yards. I'm not a hundred percent positive yet. 0:21:11.680 --> 0:21:14.000 That Savage is just terrible. He's got a couple of 0:21:14.000 --> 0:21:17.560 great weapons. It's just such a good match up here. Okay, 0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:21.679 Scott Fish, Hi won't let you down, Humble Rusty. I'll 0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:24.240 get it better next week. Alright, Well, I have, unfortunately 0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:28.359 brock Osweiler, who now plays with the Broncos, which comes 0:21:28.359 --> 0:21:32.760 courtesy of the Browns. Or the Texans Satan himself. I 0:21:32.760 --> 0:21:34.640 don't know who is paying his salary at this point, 0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:38.000 and it's not Denver. But get this, here's a stat 0:21:38.040 --> 0:21:40.119 for you. The last time Brock Osweiler put on a 0:21:40.160 --> 0:21:45.040 Broncos jersey, they won the Super Bowl. Even play in 0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:47.479 that game. But don't let that stop you, all right, 0:21:47.840 --> 0:21:52.440 in all somewhat seriousness, in non Northeastern conditions, when playing 0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:57.200 San Francisco, opposing quarterback where the temperature decks below, opposing 0:21:57.280 --> 0:22:01.240 quarterbacks that've actually done pretty well against Philly, uh, chasing 0:22:01.280 --> 0:22:04.080 points in Philadelphia Kirk Cousins at three hundred three yards 0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:07.960 and three touchdowns, Carson Palmer to one. Eli Manning had 0:22:08.000 --> 0:22:11.760
