Speaker 1: fanball dot com and Coast Today, Christian Peterson and Matt

8
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: Harrison also fanball dot Com. Hello, guys, good day Church.

9
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: Over the course. Now you're gonna go good day mate.

10
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: For a minute, I wish you had an opportunity loss

11
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 1: next time, get it right. Over the course of today,

12
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: we'll break down every game fantasy styles. Always we don't

13
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: care about which team is gonna win other than your team.

14
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 1: So we'll tell you how all the players are going

15
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 1: to do in these games. Yeah, give you a rationale

16
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: for why we feel that way. You can see if

17
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: you agree or disagree and go with us or against us.

18
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: We'll answer three tough questions. We'll give you nine players

19
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: upon whom you can take a chance, and we'll dump

20
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: and jump into our time machine for the future and

21
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: identify the players that everybody's going to be trying to

22
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: pick up next week, but blamo, they're already on your

23
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: team because you picked him up this week. That is

24
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 1: a bit we call premature speculation. Time travel as a

25
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: new wrinkle for us. It is, um, welcome to flex

26
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: capacitor is flexing, Yeah, and it makes the sound blamo.

27
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: That's that's that's what the time machine goes, Yes, blamo.

28
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: The cow goes move at the time machine goes blamo. Uh.

29
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: Let's um, I want to dive into some matchups here,

30
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: and we're gonna sprinkle in some reaction to Thursday night's

31
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: game as well, and what to do about guys like

32
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,199
Speaker 1: Cam Newton and O. J. Howard and some others throughout

33
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: the show as well. But let's let's go right into

34
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 1: some of the matchups fantasy style, beginning with Jacksonville and Houston.

35
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: Gardner Mayhew at the helm of the Jacksonville Jaguars. I

36
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: once got a case of Gardner Mayhew from an Indonesian bathhouse. Well,

37
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: you should get Gardner Minshew instead than Mayhew Mayhew. But

38
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: I gonna talk about him in a later segment because

39
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: he might be to take a chance on me kind

40
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: of quarterback. Uh. As for the rest of the uh

41
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: Leonard four Nett's getting an A grade, played six percent

42
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: of the snaps in Week one, had seventeen of the

43
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: jags eighteen running back touches in The Houston run defense

44
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: was the worst rated in Week one by Pro Football Focus,

45
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: allowing seven point three yards per carry. A grade. They're

46
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: gonna try to keep the ball out of the hands

47
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: of their quarterback. Maybe maybe, I think so, I don't know.

48
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: D D Westbrook gets a B grade for me. Minshew

49
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: targeted the slot a ton last year at Washington State,

50
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: and that's d D spot. Texans slot cornerback Aaron Colvin

51
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: did so well last week hundred and seventeen yards against

52
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: and then they cut They cut them out right, which

53
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: means they're starting Philip Gaines against Westbrook and I like

54
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: those odds. The rest of the Jags, Chris Conley and

55
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: DJ Chark there on the bench. It's not a revenge

56
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: game for Chris Conley, so I'm not really interested in it.

57
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: And Marquise Lee might end up going in this game,

58
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: which would sap targets from both Conley and Chark. Chark

59
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: was only targeted two times last week, so he's not

60
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: worth it. And by the way I called it. Chris

61
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: Conley touchdown on this show last Where's Where's a bird sound?

62
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: That we listen? You know we're not going to stop

63
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: the show every time we got something right. Yes we are,

64
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: We're wrong when you can call it your Chris calmly

65
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:32,399
Speaker 1: shot that deserves the peacock right there. We've got two

66
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: hours and there might be a lot of peacocks in

67
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: this one. Uh. DeAndre Hopkins gets an A grade. He's

68
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: scored or top two hundred yards in each of his

69
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: last four meetings with Jalen Ramsey, so I'm not worried

70
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: about him. Deshaun Watson's getting a B. I'm only nervous

71
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: and he's only getting downgraded a little bit because he

72
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: was sacked six times last week, right back to where

73
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: we were last year. He took eleven other hits, was

74
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: dinged up for most of the game in and out

75
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: of the blue tent. That's not good. Still. The Chiefs

76
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: lit up this defense last week, and Watson isn't much

77
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: of a stepped down from Patrick Mahomes, so he gets

78
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: the beat. Will Fuller gets a sea. Fuller was on

79
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: the field for of the snaps, but he only saw

80
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: three targets, so I think that some positive regression needs

81
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: to come there. Kick Cutie might play but might not.

82
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 1: That means both him and Kenny Stills are on your bench.

83
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: And then Carlos Hide and Duke Johnson. I gave both

84
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: of them a C grade. Both are kind of viable

85
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: here in a sneaky way. Hide to his second in

86
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: the league and yards after contact per attempt at six

87
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: point three, and he has Pro Football Focus his highest

88
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: elusive rating after week one. Carlo Carlos Hide, you know,

89
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: you know what else is gonna be elusive? Him staying

90
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: on top of that list is gonna be elusive. Duke

91
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: was targeted the second most last week of all Houston receivers,

92
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: and the Jags gave up nine receptions to the Kansas

93
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 1: City running backs last week, so Duke's in a good

94
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: spot too. Arizona takes on Baltimore Christian Kyler Murray with

95
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: the fantastic second half of last week's game, but a

96
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: much tougher matchup in Baltimore the time around. Yeah. Absolutely,

97
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 1: although there may be some garbage time stats to be

98
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: had in this one, just like there, Well, it was

99
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,799
Speaker 1: sort of garbage time last week for Kyler Murray until

100
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: he brought them all the way. Yeah, that's right from

101
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: it somehow from from garbage to treasure were I was

102
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: working on Twitter on the name. Is it merbage time

103
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: or Kyle arbage time. I don't know if either one

104
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: of those work. I think you're gonna have to just shopping.

105
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: Come on, keep working, keep shopping. Uh. Yeah, Murray had

106
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 1: that over over three passing yards last week and needed

107
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: fifty four passing attempts and and overtime to get there.

108
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: But it was interesting to see this offense get unveiled

109
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: for the first time. They ran four wide receivers seventy

110
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: three percent of the time, so an interesting wrinkle there.

111
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: But this time, like you mentioned charts, it's gonna be

112
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: a lot tougher against the Ravens. They were top five

113
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 1: against the past last year. They gave up just a

114
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: hundred and ninety yards and one touchdown through the air

115
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: in their Week one win over Miami. Granted that was

116
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: Miami and it was also garbage time too. Yeah, so

117
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,360
Speaker 1: I've got Murray on a C grade here, and it's

118
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: purely because with the Ravens favored by almost two touchdowns

119
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: in this game, I think there's going to be garbage time. No,

120
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: come on, mur Murby m okay, let's move on to

121
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: the wide receivers. Christian Kirk and Larry Fitzgerald are really

122
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,119
Speaker 1: the only two we need to discuss here. Interestingly, both

123
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: of them are playing out of the slot most of

124
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 1: the time. With four wide receivers, they have two guys

125
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: on the outside and two on the inside. They were

126
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: both targeted heavily. Kirk targeted twelve times by Murray last week,

127
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: caught just four of them for thirty two yards. But terrible.

128
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: It is terrible, but it's a good sign that they're

129
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: using them that much. Baltimore did lose their starting slot

130
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: corner to injury after Week one. They also could be

131
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: without Jimmy Smith, another of their cornerbacks, so there could

132
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: be some some that's to be had here. For Christian Kirk,

133
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: I gave him a B B minus ish starting grade.

134
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: We don't do minuses. How this is we are. We

135
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 1: are firmly on whole grades around here. I go away

136
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: for a couple of years, come back all of a sudden,

137
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: we're not doing minus. What about pluses? No, there's no pluses,

138
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: and Fantasy football call it what it is. A B

139
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: or I'm gonna call it as see that. If you're

140
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: gonna put a gun too, how about Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald gets

141
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: to see too, just to spite you guys, because I

142
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: would have given him a B minus. But he was

143
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: targeted thirteen times last week, eight catches over a hundred yards.

144
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: But this is a tough matchup. Only three wide receivers

145
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: top two hundred yards versus the Ravens in all of eighteen,

146
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: so I don't know that he needs the volume here.

147
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald and Kirk both need the volume. I don't think

148
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: they're each going to see double digit targets, but I'm

149
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: willing to give him another chance. With just c grades.

150
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald sees Brandon Carr. Probably I didn't give up a touchdown,

151
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: not one last A tough matchup. Yeah, I would play

152
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: Kirk over Fitzgerald if for some reason you saw fit

153
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: to roster both of them. Nothing to see here with

154
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: Keyshawn Johnson quite yet. He did have ten targets, but

155
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: that was in garbage time and nothing to see what

156
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: the tight ends, who aren't really even on the field

157
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 1: in this offense on the Raven side, obviously, Lamar Jackson

158
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: is an a grade after that ridiculous debut in Week

159
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: one where he was really effective through the air and

160
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,160
Speaker 1: really didn't even bother to run the ball, which is

161
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 1: part of his fantasy appeal. So um, it's a massive

162
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: upside here in week two again, you could argue he

163
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: should be the number one quarterback. Charge I don't know

164
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: where's my number two behind only Tom Brady and that's

165
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: so that's that's where I've got it. Yeah, the Cardinals

166
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: just gave up Matthew Stafford's best passing game in almost

167
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 1: two years, so a great spot for Jackson again here

168
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: his wide receivers, however, a little iffy um markis Brown

169
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: had the huge couple of touchdowns last week, but was

170
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,679
Speaker 1: only targeted five times and only played fourteen snaps. Unbelievable.

171
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: But that's a mandate for more snaps. I mean he will,

172
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: you know, it'll at least double. I mean he's Scott

173
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: to be sitting on twenty five snaps this week? Do

174
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 1: you would think so? But Jackson only through to the

175
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: wide receivers a combined total of ten times in week one,

176
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: so I'm a little worried about the volume here. Marc's

177
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 1: Brown is a boomer bus play but you got to

178
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: get him in there. I gave him a B grade.

179
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: Miles Boykin just one target in one catching week in

180
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: Week one. He may be relevant down the road, but

181
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: not quite yet. So he is on the bench Mark

182
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: Andrews and A grade here eight catches for a hundred

183
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: and eight yards and a touchdown. Jackson targeted his tight

184
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 1: ends fifteen times. The Cardinals just let Detroit rookie t J.

185
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,439
Speaker 1: Hockenson go off for a hundred and thirty yards in

186
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,719
Speaker 1: a touchdown. So elite level start for Mark Andrews. The

187
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 1: running game. Mark Ingram also an elite level A start

188
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: hundred seven yards and two touchdowns last week despite barely

189
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: even playing. Would you give him an US No, I

190
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: don't do that. You should know that about I don't

191
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: into that. I would never do that. We are about

192
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: whole grades here. Cardinals last year were easily the worst

193
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 1: run defense in the NFL. They gave up league highs

194
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: and rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. Mark Ingram is an

195
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 1: obvious that you can even bring Gus Edwards into play here.

196
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: Maybe he had more carries than Ingram last week. Yeah,

197
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: that was in a lot of garbage time. But I

198
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: think they're gonna be up again in the second half.

199
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 1: So Gus Edwards, let's give him a desperation C grade. Yeah,

200
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: um for those that took the shot on Justice Hill

201
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: right now, he's on the wrong side of that deal.

202
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,319
Speaker 1: And it looks like Gus Edwards is available in like

203
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: every rookie running back outside of Josh Jacob, So practically,

204
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: isn't it. Devin Singletary, they you know, they all got

205
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: they all got back, Bernard. You're just gonna have to

206
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: have patience on them. Most of them I think are

207
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: in good spots. Although Devin Singletary maybe playable today we'll

208
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: find out, like Dallas takes on Washington, and you know,

209
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: for the most part, this won't take long because it's

210
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: basically start all your cowboys and bench all your red skin.

211
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 1: But we'll dive in just a little bit here. If

212
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: you're not treating dak Press Prescott like a fantasy superstar,

213
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: you don't get it right now. In the past four games,

214
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: he's blown out the Giants twice, he's won a playoff

215
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: game and scored multiple touchdowns, and every one of those

216
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: four games Michael Gallup turning into a superstar. Amari Cooper

217
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: already is one. The Redskins corners not nearly up to

218
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: the task of stopping those two guys. And you look

219
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: at what happened last week to the Redskins corners, Deshan

220
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: Jackson all Sean Jeffrey just humbling them. Last year, Dak

221
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 1: posted two good, not great games against Washington. I think

222
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: they're up to great levels here. He is an A grade.

223
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: Zeke is obviously in A grade. It goes without saying,

224
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: particularly with defensive tackle Jonathan Allen knocked out for this game.

225
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna gonna bounce back from last week's

226
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: middling performance with a much better game here as well.

227
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: Love Amari Cooper obvious A grade for him as well.

228
00:11:53,559 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: Since arriving in Dallas, he's been targeted per game game. Yes,

229
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: the Redskins secondary got torched for three scores last week.

230
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: He's an A grade. Michael Gallop is He's is almost

231
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: an A grade, but we're gonna call him a firm

232
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 1: B for Michael Gallop. He's almost like we need some

233
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: sort of designation in between A and no. We go.

234
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: He has actually had more receptions and yards than Cooper,

235
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: but over the last two games this week, one of

236
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,719
Speaker 1: this year than going back to the last game last year.

237
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: Um he more often runs from the left, where where

238
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: Gallop will match up with cornerback Quintin Dunbar. Dunbar's got

239
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: the hayte and what height and weight or hate and

240
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: white to hang with Gallop, but does not have the

241
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,720
Speaker 1: skill set and last year Gallop posted eighty one yards

242
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 1: and a touchdown in the one game he played against them.

243
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: Tony Pologist now on the bench for the Redskins. The

244
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: only startable players here case Keenum. It's mostly garbage time here.

245
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: Don't chase last week's box score on Keenum. Obviously maybe

246
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: in a pinch. Dallas has allowed three hundred more passing

247
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: yards in three straight games going back to last year.

248
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: And watch the status of elite cornerback Byron Byron Jones.

249
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: If Jones does go, then we're just gonna bench Keena

250
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: out right. If Jones is out then I think Keena

251
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: becomes a dart throw here. You could try Trey Quinn,

252
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 1: who scored last week in garbage time, but another dart

253
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: throw at best with him. A lot of people picked

254
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 1: up Terry McLaurin. Terry McLaren, uh, the uh tough matchup

255
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: though this week against Shadobiawoozy, the cornerback was very good.

256
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: And then again, if Byron Jones comes back, he'd have

257
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: to contend with him as well. Adrian Peterson, you're starting

258
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: running back and it will not matter that team cannot

259
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:43,480

283
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 1: will start at the quarterback position. Who do you have, Christian?

284
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: I have Derek Carr this week going up against the Chiefs.

285
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: What happens in Chiefs games is that they put up

286
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 1: all sorts of points early on and the other team

287
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: is forced to play catch up, or at least attempt to.

288
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: And what happens is the other team usually puts up

289
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: big stats as well. Last year, the Chiefs were a

290
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: bottom five pass defense. They allowed the most passing yards

291
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: to a poison quarterbacks, nearly two touchdown passes per game,

292
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: and Derek Carr is no exception. In his last two

293
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 1: home games against the Chiefs, twinter and eighty five yards

294
00:15:55,560 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: and three touchdowns followed by four seventeen yards and three touchdowns.

295
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: He's coming off in efficient Week one performance where he

296
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: was only asked to throw the ball twenty six times,

297
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: but he's gonna have to throw the ball a lot

298
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: more in this one. And I like his chances of

299
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: putting up big numbers while trying to keep pace with

300
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. One might call that carbage time carbas very man,

301
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: after which that term was called originally invented. Yes, all right, Matt,

302
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: who's your take chance of the quarterback? I've got Gardner

303
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: Minshew the Mississippi Mustache fan Ball this week. By the way,

304
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: he's a sixth round rookie. He takes over for the

305
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: injured Nick Foles. Minshew was credited by Pro Football Focus

306
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: with a one percent adjusted completion percentage, which means that

307
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: percent of the balls he threw we're on target. How

308
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: about that? Uh? He faces a Houston team that just

309
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: got pasted by Drew Brees last week for seventy yards.

310
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: Six of the last seven quarterbacks who have faced the

311
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: Texans have topped either three hundred yards or thrown from

312
00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: multiple scores, with five of those accomplishing both of those feats.

313
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew, all Right, Gardner minshew. I thought he was

314
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,959
Speaker 1: the Indonesian Indian or something. No, No, he's the Mississippi mustache. Okay,

315
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen goes up against the Giants, he's only dollars

316
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: on fanball. It's over the last Giants. By the way,

317
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,199
Speaker 1: if it we're not for the Dolphins, strandson of the

318
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: worst defense in the league, and they still might, I

319
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: think it's still gonna be. This is a one A

320
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: and one B situation. Over the last three games, going

321
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: back through last year, Giants are giving up an average

322
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: of three hundred eighty three passing yards and three and

323
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: a half touchdown passes per game. I don't need Josh

324
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 1: Allen to get me a full three eight three and

325
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: three and a half. How about two thirds of that?

326
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 1: Give me like two seventy and two and a half,

327
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: and I'd be pretty happy. He'll chip in more with

328
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 1: his legs, Giants. Giants defense still has not found suitable

329
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 1: replacements for Landon Collins, and then they lost Olivia Vernon

330
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: in the off season. They were the dead last pass

331
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,400
Speaker 1: rush defense by Pro Football Focus last week, Giants were

332
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,360
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, even Josh Allen cannot screw this up.

333
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: He's gonna throw a bunch of deep balls and something

334
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: we're going to connect. Don't forget that he just got

335
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: to spend time in New York all this week because

336
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 1: he was in the same stadium last week and away game. Great,

337
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: great point, just stayed there. Maybe that was it, and

338
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: then he might even rush in a little something extra

339
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 1: for you as well, Josh Allen, take a chance on

340
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Just go to the running backs. Yeah, I'm

341
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 1: gonna roll with Chris Thompson of the Redskins going up

342
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. Charter. You just callously dismissed the entire

343
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: Redskins backfield when you when you talked about the matchup

344
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,680
Speaker 1: in the previous previous segment. And I agree, they can't

345
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: run the ball, but what they can do is throw

346
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: the ball to their running backs. I was just leaving

347
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,479
Speaker 1: Chris Thompson for you, specifically Chris Thompson, who led who

348
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: led all Redskins players and targets last week with ten,

349
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: catching seven of them for sixty eight yards in the matchup.

350
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: Here favors pass catching running backs. The Cowboys allowed the

351
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: fifth most receptions to opposing runners last year. They yielded

352
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: seven catches to the Giants in week one, and now

353
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: with Adrian Peterson in the game instead of Darius Guys,

354
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,199
Speaker 1: he's even less of a threat to catch receptions than

355
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: Geis was. So I think Thompson's gonna be in this game.

356
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 1: They're gonna be playing catch up. They're gonna be dumping

357
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,479
Speaker 1: it off to him quite a bit. Just on fan

358
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 1: ball this week. Malcolm Brown is only one fan ball

359
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: this week, and he's become a true vulture with four

360
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,479
Speaker 1: carries from inside the ten and two short touchdowns last week. However,

361
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: yards after contact per attempt Malcolm Brown number seven in

362
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: the league at four point six. That's not bad. He's

363
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 1: not involved in the passing game at all, never having

364
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 1: more than two targets in a game in his entire career.

365
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: But that doesn't matter because the Saints made Carlos Hide

366
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: and Duke Johnson looked like Todd Gurley and his prime

367
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: last week, allowing seven point three yards per carry, ten

368
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: carries eighty five yards in a score for Malcolm Brown

369
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: this week. I like it. Darren Sprawls way off everybody's radar.

370
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 1: Darren Sprawls, this is your one chance, probably on the year,

371
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: to start him almost free in fan ball shalary cap system.

372
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,719
Speaker 1: He was more involved in last week's game plan than

373
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: anybody would have expected, I think on the field twenty

374
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: three plays, which was five more than Jordan Howard was,

375
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: and Howard was the presumed starter for this one. Now,

376
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: obviously Sprailes is not going to chip in ground yardage

377
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,920
Speaker 1: in any meaningful way. But he might. He had like

378
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 1: nine carries last time. I well, probably not a meaningful way.

379
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 1: Maybe falcons have allowed You guys already know this. You

380
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: know where I'm going with this. Falcons have allowed the

381
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: most running back touchdowns last year, the year before that,

382
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: the year before that, and the year before that. I

383
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: think it's safe to say that we will always have

384
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: to take a chance on me pass catching running back

385
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: going against the falcon That's right, it's it always the tradition.

386
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: I'm doing it this time because I believe Darren Spoils

387
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 1: should be in the Hall of Fame. He is number

388
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:46,120
Speaker 1: six all time in yards. That's awfully impressive. So you're

389
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: basing his Week two prognosis on his entire career. That's right, good,

390
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: which now spans Darren Sprawls. Let's go to the receiver positions.

391
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: You take a chance of me receiver. Yeah, I'm gonna

392
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: roll with me Cole Hardman this week on the opposite

393
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: side of that Chiefs versus Raiders matchup that I talked about.

394
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 1: You may remember Hardman as the guy that the Chiefs

395
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: drafted this spring to replace Tyreek Hill when it wasn't

396
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,680
Speaker 1: at all clear whether Tyreek Hill was ever going to

397
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: play in the NFL again. Then Hill came back and

398
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 1: everybody forgot about Hardman, and now Hill is hurt again

399
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 1: and here comes Hardman. He did play eight of the

400
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: snaps in Week one, even with Hill in the game

401
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 1: for at least part of it. But he's the guy

402
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: who's going to step into that role of playing deep threat,

403
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 1: and anybody who's gonna get looks in this offense, especially

404
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: as a deep threat replacing Tyreek Hill, is worthy of

405
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,040
Speaker 1: your attention this week, So go grab him. He's on

406
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: the waiver wire in most leagues, or at least was

407
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: as of earlier. This week, I've got Cole Beasley at

408
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 1: fan but it's almost a free space. He didn't put

409
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: up the huge numbers that John Brown did last week,

410
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,719
Speaker 1: but he did have nine targets, with which only trailed

411
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 1: John Brown by one. UM He caught four or five

412
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: of his targets from the slot, but also ran ten

413
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: routes from out wide saw four targets on those ten routes.

414
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,919
Speaker 1: The Giants defense is terrible. I'll highlight how awful they

415
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: are amongst outside receivers later, But every Cowboys wide receiver

416
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: had a great day, including slotman Randall Cobb, who had

417
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 1: his best day in years with sixty nine nice yards

418
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: in a score. Um Josh Allens might take a chance

419
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: on me corner. Let's hook him up. Let's hook those

420
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: two up. Vance McDonalds might take a chance of me

421
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: receiver slash tight end in this case. He only had

422
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: two receptions last week, but was on the field for

423
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: seventy one of the Steelers plays, and his backup Xavier

424
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: Grimble was on the field for two plays in the

425
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,840
Speaker 1: entire game. McDonald will be more involved in this game.

426
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: Seattle allowed nine tight end touched receptions for ninety three

427
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 1: yards last week, and Seattle's allowed at least seventy tight

428
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: end yards and five of the last six games going

429
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: back to last year. This is gonna be a bounce

430
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: back game for Vance McDonald I am confident by the

431
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: way fan ball if you're wondering what you gotta pay

432
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 1: on fan ball to get a little vance McDonald action.

433
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: It's not bad. I don't think Buffalo taking on the Giants.

434
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: Matt we were We've just talked about this one in

435
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 1: a fair amount of detail. A little bill and might

436
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 1: take a chance on me. Quarterback Cold Beasley, you take

437
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 1: a chance for me. Wide receiver, who's left to talk about?

438
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: Let's talk about John Brown. He's a a B grade,

439
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: But if there was something between a B and an

440
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: A that I could give him, it's it's pretty close

441
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: to something right between those two void right there. It's

442
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: a chasm between those two grades. Slightly better than that

443
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: right there. Um Perimeter wide receivers torch the Giants defense

444
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 1: last week, as Michael Gallup and Amari Cooper totaled third

445
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: team catches two sixty four yards and a touchdown against

446
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: this Giants d The Giants only managed one pressure on

447
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: Doc last week and thirty two dropbacks. There's gonna be

448
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: plenty of time for Josh Allen to look around, get

449
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: Brown downfield and hit him with a deep ball. Devin Singletary,

450
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: I'm actually giving a B grade two as well with

451
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 1: Frank Gore and t J. Elden on the bench. Devin

452
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: Singletary leads the NFL in russias of ten plus yards

453
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 1: with four, which is about all the carries he had.

454
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,680
Speaker 1: He had four Russian attempts um. He also did have

455
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: five receptions to Gordon out touch Singletary ten to nine.

456
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: But that ends. Now it's over. Now it should be well, okay,

457
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 1: we think you think it's over, it's gotta be over.

458
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: Matt anything to say, come on, all right the other side,

459
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 1: this is pretty easy. Sae Kwon Barkley easy A. Don't

460
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: even have to talk about it. He's an easy A

461
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,480
Speaker 1: in any lineup. Uh Evan Ingram a grade as well.

462
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd is out. That's seven vacated targets from last week,

463
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 1: and I bet they all go to Angram, who already

464
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,960
Speaker 1: had thirteen targets in his big performance. Say Kron and

465
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: Ingram are literally their only chance to win. Eli Manning.

466
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: The rest of the team is on the bench. Cody

467
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: Lattimer isn't anyone's lineup this week, but he did have

468
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,120
Speaker 1: the most targets among wide receivers last week with eight,

469
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: but he's still on the bench. He is on the bench.

470
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: I worry a little bit. She's with the dearth of

471
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: receiving talent, no Golden Tate, no no Sterling Shepherd. That

472
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: the Bills might just take away Evan Ingram and basically say,

473
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: you know, go beat us with Cody Latimer. They might try,

474
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: but Barkley is still there and Evan Ingram's playing in

475
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: the tight end position. Wide receivers just working one more matchup. Indeed,

476
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: Apple is taking on Tennessee. Marlon Mack was awesome last week.

477
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 1: Leads the NFL and rushing yards with a hundred seventy four.

478
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: Now he gets Tennessee. Yeah, he was. He was awesome,

479
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: And it sure seems like the Colts without Andrew Luck

480
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: now have sort of turned their attention to the running

481
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: game and running behind their maweling offensive line, and it

482
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: worked like a charm in week one. You mentioned a

483
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy four yards on twenty five carries. When

484
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 1: these two teams meet met in weeks seventeen of last year,

485
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: so two games ago, two games ago, Mac had twenty

486
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: five carries for a hundred and nineteen yards and a touchdown.

487
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: So I've got him as a solid a here, like

488
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 1: he's in that group of a's that's right all right there,

489
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 1: and then there's a huge cliff down to the mac

490
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: is right in there with the a's yet, So let's yes,

491
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: let's move to the passing game. Jacoby Brissette. I have

492
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: him on the bench here. Just didn't have the attempts,

493
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: didn't have the volume last week. Just twenty seven pass attempts,

494
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: hundred ninety yards and two touchdowns. Really no reason to

495
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 1: think about putting him in the lineup on the road

496
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: against a solid Titans pass defense. T Y Hilton is

497
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: the only receiver you need to be concerned about here.

498
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,719
Speaker 1: Nine targets in Week one, eighty seven yards and two touchdowns.

499
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,400
Speaker 1: No other receiver had more than five targets, So it's

500
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: all t Y Hilton all the time. Hilton also had

501
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: nine catches for a hundred and fifty five yards and

502
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: two touchdowns the last time the Colts traveled to Tennessee. Still,

503
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: because of the lack of volume in the uncertain here,

504
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: just a B grade for Hilton. None the wide receivers

505
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 1: are worth anything. Tight ends we're targeted just six times

506
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: in Week one. I know Scott Fish earlier went to

507
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: bat for the idea that Jacoby Brissette was going to

508
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: throw a lot to the tight ends, but we didn't

509
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: see it in week one, and we still we still

510
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: have Ebron and Doyle splitting looks there. So don't worry

511
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: about either one of them. On the Titans side, there's

512
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: really well, there's a couple of things that talk about.

513
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 1: Let's start with the easy one. Derrick Henry is an

514
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: easy a after last week's explosion eighty four yards and

515
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 1: a touchdown on the ground, seventy five yards and a

516
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: touchdown through the air. The Colts just got eviscerated for

517
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 1: two hundred nineteen combined rushing and receiving yards and three

518
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: touchdowns by the Chargers running backs last week. So, Derrick

519
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: Henry is he number one on your running back ranks?

520
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: I haven't he's got he's yeah, he's not one, but

521
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 1: he's up there. Okay, passing game, I've got Marcus Mariota

522
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: on the bench. I'm not fooled by last week's box score.

523
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: It looks nice to eight yards and three touchdowns, but

524
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: he had just twenty four pass attempts. Thirty percent of

525
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 1: his yards came on a dump off that Derrick Henry

526
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 1: took seventy five yards for a Touchdow untouched at that

527
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 1: untouched right, So I'm not buying it on Mariota. I'm

528
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,239
Speaker 1: gonna leave him on the bench. I want to make

529
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 1: him prove it at least one more week. The wide

530
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: receivers were kind of a mess. They combined for just

531
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: four catches on hundred and five yards in Week one. A. J.

532
00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 1: Brown had three of those catches and a hundred of

533
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: those yards. So he's the guy that you have to

534
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 1: look at here if you're desperate to get in a

535
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: wide receiver here, I'd give him a C grade. Corey

536
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 1: Davis man three targets, although he was going up against

537
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 1: Brown's cornerback Denzel Ward, who is legit. He's turning into

538
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: a shutdown, shutdown type guy. But needless to say, you

539
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: can't have Davis in your lineup. The only other guy

540
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 1: were concerned about here, tight end Delaney Walker. Welcome back

541
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 1: Delaney with two touchdowns in week one. The Colts allowed

542
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: the most catches and yards to opposing tight ends in

543
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 1: so let's keep it going with a B start on

544
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: Delaney Walker this week. I'm mom listening to that. I

545
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: think it makes sense. By the way, if you're wondering

546
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: Marlon mackw you just mentioned running back four this week,

547
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry running back five. Do you have one spot?

548
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: But you know, but they actually graded out with the

549
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: exact same grade note and a half out of ten

550
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: because you can use halfs apparently in my grade, yes,

551
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: but not in the You've probably heard us talking about Team,

552
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: the hottest new format and Fantasy sports. Each the low

553
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: scoring team gets cut from the league and their entire

554
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,360
Speaker 1: roster goes the waiver wire. It makes for insane waiver

555
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,479
Speaker 1: wire runs. People are tweeting me about Sae Kwon Barkley

556
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,520

00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 1: What about this week? We'll tight when we come back.

571
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: number one destination for podcasts, the I Heart Radio app.

572
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: Chargers take on the Lions, and it was a great

573
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: game Frost and Ekeler last week. But I'm a little

574
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: more cautious this week around because the Lions committed to

575
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: beefing up their defensive line over the last year. They

576
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: traded for snacks Harrison. Then in the off season they

577
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: added a Matt Patricia favorite going back to his days

578
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: with the Patriots and Trey Flowers. But those two got

579
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: off to a very slow start after combining from the

580
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 1: three tackles last week, and they let David Johnson pile

581
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 1: up one D thirty seven total yards. Still, Johnson was

582
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: pretty involved in that past and that's your best that's

583
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 1: your best angle for Ler for sure. It Eckler is

584
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 1: a very good receiver, and so that's your angle and

585
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,280
Speaker 1: why he's still a B grade here. If you're just

586
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: talking about running up the middle. I don't like Eckler

587
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: so much, and that's a lot of why I don't

588
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: like Justin Jackson at all. And he is a on

589
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: the bench. He only got of the snaps last week,

590
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 1: and then again he's trying to run up the middle

591
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: right at snacks Harrison and that's more. His bit is

592
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: between the tackles. So I'm out on Justin Jackson. Let's

593
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: go to the passing game where no Hunter Henry Mike

594
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 1: Williams probably does not play with the knee injury, although

595
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,600
Speaker 1: I think technically a game time decision for him. That

596
00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: leaves Philip rivers with Travis Benjamin maybe, and Benjamin's gotta

597
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 1: take the sleigh ride Darius Sleigh in this one. So

598
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 1: I don't we need some sleigh bells by the way

599
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,479
Speaker 1: for the sleigh ride. That would be pretty great, all

600
00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: right it Rianna is making a note right now, get

601
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: to get the sleigh bell signs for us slay. I

602
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: don't what would the what would the Joe Iron Hayden

603
00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: sound be like a clink like like the league's vault

604
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: closing maybe, but it's a creaking sound right as the

605
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,160
Speaker 1: but the what about the pokey part of the Iron

606
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: Maiden that ouch anyway, Philip Rivers is is just a

607
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: C grade here, although we're interesting to note the Lions

608
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: go from last week trying to stop Kyler Murray, right,

609
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 1: this really raw, amazing athlete with all the speed, and

610
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 1: now they go to a savvy veteran with two career

611
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 1: starts and as as mobile as a statue. So uh

612
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: that Larry Fitzgerald terrorized the Lions from the slot last year,

613
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: and Keenan Allen still has a good opportunity here who

614
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 1: runs his routes from the majority of the time from

615
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: the slot, and without Hunter Henry and Mike Williams. I

616
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: think that becomes really the whole game for Philip Rivers

617
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: is whether or not you you trust Keenan Allen. I do.

618
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 1: I've got to. I've got a B grade on Rivers,

619
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: B grade on Keenan Allen in the hopes that they

620
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: can do enough there. I wouldn't try Travis Benjamin. Let's

621
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: go to the Detroit side. Carry on Johnson epic disappointment

622
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: because he's not that good. No, I think he is good, um,

623
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: and I do I like him again here I'm going

624
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 1: back to the well I liked him last week and

625
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 1: liked him here. Marlon Mack just hammered the Chargers for

626
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: one seventy four yards. As Christian elucidated moments ago, the

627
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: Chargers have allowed nearly two running back touchdowns per game

628
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: over their last five games. Johnson got a two to

629
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: one ratio of usage and snap counts over c. J. Anderson,

630
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: so he he's my preferred guy. But I still have

631
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: and an A grade on Carrie on Johnson, I gotta

632
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: c n c J Anderson because he did wasn't It

633
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: was a two to one snap count and that's not

634
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: that bad. He carried the ball eleven times last week,

635
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 1: and the great game script here should be tilted much

636
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: more towards the run than last week. So I like c. J.

637
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: Anderson as a sneaky starting grade of a C. Let's

638
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: go to the passing game for Matthew Stafford. Do not

639
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 1: chase last week's box score against Arizona. Arizona was missing

640
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 1: both their starting cornerbacks. This time, it's gonna be a

641
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: lot of running. Last year, the Charges were an inconsistent

642
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: run defense, and then, as I mentioned earlier, Marlon mac

643
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: ripped him last week. I just don't think that there's

644
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 1: gonna be a passing game. There's not gonna be a

645
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,840
Speaker 1: lot of volume. Just to see grade on Matthew Stafford,

646
00:34:11,160 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: see grade on Kenny Golladay. Unlike last week, he's got

647
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:18,359
Speaker 1: a brutal matchup. He gets Charges cornerback Casey Hayward, who

648
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: allowed the least separation to wide receivers last year and

649
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: the sixth lowest catch rate to wide receivers in his

650
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: coverage last year. Casey Hayward is awesome and he likely

651
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: shadows Kenny Golladay for much of this game. Let's go

652
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: to t J Hockenson last week setting the all time

653
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:43,760
Speaker 1: tight end debut yardage record and didn't need the overtime

654
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: to do it. He said it in regulations, So don't

655
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 1: anybody put an asterix on the end of that record

656
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,840
Speaker 1: of t J Hockenson's. The Charges held the Colts excellent

657
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: tight ends only three receptions last week. Um, and so

658
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: when I look at that, I gotta figure this is

659
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: probably not gonna be the then close to last week's game.

660
00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: By volume and again run heavy script. I don't think

661
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna have anywhere near the kind of success for

662
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 1: t J Hockenson this week. But still startable with a

663
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:12,360
Speaker 1: C grade and Marvin Marvin Harrison only lightly involved. Marvin

664
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: Harrison still in Thervin Harrison, Marvin Harrison coming out of retirement. Um, wait,

665
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: is he still in prison? I don't think he ever

666
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: went to prison. They never go to prison. After all,

667
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 1: the Shenanigans and the guns in every game, all right,

668
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones only lightly involved last week coming off his injury,

669
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 1: and again game script is not ideal for him. He

670
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 1: is on the bench, New England taking on Miami. Matt Start.

671
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,359
Speaker 1: Everybody from the Patriots bench, everybody from the Dolphins. Can

672
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: we just move on? Yeah? Almost. I would like to

673
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 1: propose a new Fantasy football weekly rule. We're not going

674
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:49,280
Speaker 1: to mention the Dolphins until there is a starter starter,

675
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: a fantasy on the bench. So I don't even get

676
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: to say the name like the Patriots are playing. No what, well,

677
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: we can say the name, the name of Dolphins. We

678
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,439
Speaker 1: just don't ever like toss on the Dolphins side of it. Yeah,

679
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 1: we don't need to. Uh do you want me to

680
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: talk about the Dolphins? I don't really want to talk

681
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,759
Speaker 1: about all on the bench. Even garbage time. You can't

682
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: count on garbage time against the secondary, So No, I

683
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: don't think there's a startable Dolphin. No, it's gross. Uh.

684
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: The Patriots A starts for Tom Brady, Julian Edelman, Josh

685
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: Gordon and Antonio Brown if he plays. Obviously, the allegations

686
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 1: against him are serious. And uh, I did see that

687
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 1: they're not going to put him on the Commissioner's exempt list.

688
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 1: And the Patriots haven't said whether or not they're playing.

689
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:38,399
Speaker 1: They're playing playing, um, so fire him up in your

690
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 1: lineup if he sits. Somehow, Edelman and Gordon go up

691
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: to an A and a half grade. Uh, it's Philip

692
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 1: Dorsett gets a ce point sixth grade that would uptick

693
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: to a full how you know why? Now you know

694
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,799
Speaker 1: why we don't do the plus? Is the halfs there

695
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: any of that stuff? This is why it turns well,

696
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 1: it's a B minus minus plus minus. Dorset plays a

697
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:08,040
Speaker 1: similar style to Hollywood Brown, who logged two long touchdowns

698
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 1: against the Fins last week, and then the running backs

699
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:13,479
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle James White. James White's a little bit dinged

700
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: up and now or actually no, not d He's got

701
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 1: the possible birth of a child, so he might not go.

702
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: They're all bees anyway, Michelle White and Rex Burkhead. Michelle

703
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: led the backfield with fifteen carries. There should be plenty

704
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:31,359
Speaker 1: of garbage time here where they're just grinding clock. Uh.

705
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: Both Birkhead and White had five catches, although Burkhead had

706
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,760
Speaker 1: one more target than White. Burke had led the running

707
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: backs and opportunities with the eight targets plus eight carries.

708
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: He logged five point five yards per carry on the

709
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: ground as well. So Burkhead's kind of a sneaky play,

710
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: like a bonus take a chance on me here. Uh.

711
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:50,879
Speaker 1: He could have more run in the game too, since

712
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: it's probably gonna be a blow up in the second half.

713
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: It might be just all Rex Burkhead in the second half.

714
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: So that's it. Sony Michelle had the was fifteen carries

715
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,959
Speaker 1: for fourteen. It was. It was pretty bad. There's gonna

716
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,279
Speaker 1: be a get right Yeah, it doesn't it feel that way. Yeah,

717
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: they're gonna get him right here. Yeah. I think it's

718
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 1: I had to put an a grade on him. San

719
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 1: Francisco taking on Cincinnati, Um, there was not a lot

720
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:16,160
Speaker 1: to love about the San Francisco offense and the first

721
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,000
Speaker 1: the first week of the season, you feel any better

722
00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: about them as they travel to Cincinnati. No, not particularly uh,

723
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 1: certainly not about the passing game. I mean charts. These

724
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: are your guys, Garoppolo, Dante Pettis, What's what's happening here?

725
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 1: A hundred and sixties six yards and one touchdown in

726
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: Week one against a bottom five past defense in the

727
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: Bucks that he should have been able to move the

728
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:41,720
Speaker 1: ball against. The Bengals were also not a good past

729
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,240
Speaker 1: defense last year. But I just have no confidence in Garoppolo.

730
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,520
Speaker 1: So he's on the bench, along with all of his

731
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 1: wide receivers who combined for twelve targets. The most targeted

732
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: was Deebo Samuel with three. We'll talk more about him later.

733
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: And then you've got Marquis Goodwin, who was second in

734
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:02,919
Speaker 1: snaps amongst San Francisco Whiteouts, which I bring up mainly

735
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: because I like the word amongst to say. And then

736
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:11,280
Speaker 1: Dante Pettis, he's practically dead, charging two snaps to snap,

737
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:14,359
Speaker 1: but each it's a groin injury, and they say he's

738
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: fully healthy now and he'll get more snap You like

739
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: him so much. They caught him in our Empire League. Man,

740
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,319
Speaker 1: what a disaster. Tight end is not a disaster though,

741
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 1: George Kittle ten targets last week, caught eight of them.

742
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 1: If you don't if you weren't watching, you may not

743
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,720
Speaker 1: have noticed that he had two touchdowns called back because

744
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: of penalties, so he was all over this game. He's

745
00:39:34,640 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: an easy a start against the since defense that allowed

746
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: more tight end touchdowns than any other team last year.

747
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: So let's go to the running game. Matt Brada now

748
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:47,520
Speaker 1: steps into a mostly full time role with Tevin Coleman

749
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: out with that high ankle spraying. Coleman looks like he'll

750
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,280
Speaker 1: be out four to six weeks, so this is brightest

751
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:58,800
Speaker 1: chance until he gets injured. Last week's game still most

752
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 1: most shirt most Steed could be in the mix as well,

753
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:06,319
Speaker 1: but I think you will be Yeah, probably, uh, you know, really,

754
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: you can look at Breda this week as an interesting

755
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 1: option because Cincinnati was bad against the run last year.

756
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: Opponing running backs average nearly five yards per carry. They

757
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,760
Speaker 1: did hold Chris Carson to forty six yards on fifteen

758
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 1: carries in Week one, so maybe they've started to figure

759
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 1: some stuff out. But I've gotten scored twice. I've got

760
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,359
Speaker 1: Breto with a B level start here and most diret

761
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: I have on the bench just because He's probably gonna

762
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 1: get sixty eight touches unless Breta gets hurt and we

763
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:33,319
Speaker 1: can't predict that, so I've got him on the bench.

764
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: The other side of this matchup for the Bengals, let's

765
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:40,839
Speaker 1: start with Andy Dalton. Fire up the peak, baby, take

766
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 1: a chance on me quarterback last week. You're welcome, You're welcome.

767
00:40:44,600 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure all of you started Andy Dalton in your

768
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 1: league's last week. I did in one. I started in

769
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 1: a two quarterback league. I did say to start Andy

770
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: Dalton over Jared Goff to several people. If it's not

771
00:40:57,280 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: on this show, I really don't want to hear your

772
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 1: muttering Twitter around the plater. Baby. Nicely done by explosive output,

773
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,359
Speaker 1: the career high four and er in eighteen yards last week.

774
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: And let's not forget that Dalton has had a couple

775
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 1: of top ten quarterback you know, Fantasy seasons three and

776
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:18,399
Speaker 1: four and five years ago, back when played a lot. Yeah,

777
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: it looks like this new offense, this new coaching staff

778
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: is a little bit more willing to air it out,

779
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: just a little bit so, and the matchup hears pretty good.

780
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: The forty Niners were able to flummox Jamis Winston last week,

781
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:37,240
Speaker 1: although he's flummox prone. I do. I do, in fact,

782
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 1: but last year they allowed the most quarterback passing touchdown

783
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: so this is a matchup Dalton can exploit again. I

784
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,399
Speaker 1: gave him a B level grade along with Tyler Boyd

785
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,920
Speaker 1: and John Ross, each of his top two wide receivers

786
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 1: bees for both of those guys. Boyd had eleven targets

787
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 1: and eight catches. Ross, of course, erupted seven catches for

788
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: a d fifty eight yards and two touchdowns. I certainly

789
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: don't think we're going to see a repeat of that,

790
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: But just the fact that those two guys are so

791
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 1: heavily involved without a J Green here, I think that

792
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: brings them into the mix. Forty niners were bad against

793
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: wide receivers last year. They allowed a league worse twenty

794
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,040
Speaker 1: seven wide receiver touchdowns. So both of those guys are

795
00:42:13,080 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 1: in play. The tight ends are not. They split eleven

796
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: targets and nine catches between c. J Uzoma and Tyler Effort,

797
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: so those guys are on the bench. That brings us

798
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,840
Speaker 1: to the running game. And Joe Mixon sprained ankle in

799
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 1: Week one, knocked him out, didn't practice until Friday. He

800
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: did return to practice on Friday, so that gives him

801
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 1: a chance to play. You're gonna have to keep an

802
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 1: eye on the injury report just to make sure this

803
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:38,239
Speaker 1: is a good matchup. Tampa running backs averaged over five

804
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,919
Speaker 1: years uh five yards per carrying a hundred and seventy

805
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:44,399
Speaker 1: combined rushing and receiving yards against the forty niners last week,

806
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: so it doesn't go Geo. Bernard is an auto star,

807
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: that's right. Last year, Mixing sat out a couple of games.

808
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 1: In those two games, Bernard got every running back touch

809
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,480
Speaker 1: and had at least sixty five combo yards and a

810
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: touchdown in both. So have Bernard ready just in just

811
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,360
Speaker 1: in case mix and doesn't play to actually your best play,

812
00:43:01,640 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 1: best case scenario for fantasy would be preferable. Yeah, if

813
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,840
Speaker 1: if mixings out, which removes all question about whether you

814
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 1: should even start Mixing or whatever else. And then if

815
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:13,600
Speaker 1: you've got you Bernard, you just you and you deploy him, right,

816
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 1: I agree, It makes it much much simpler, unless, of course,

817
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: you own Mixing and you don't have Bernard. Yeah, but

818
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,360
Speaker 1: then but somebody else owns Bernard and he's listening right now,

819
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: and then he gets to go start him, which isn't

820
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:31,479
Speaker 1: half bad? Um, Thursday night game, Cam Newton drop herbal

821
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: or not? Let's go to the Cam Newton desk in

822
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 1: Christian Peterson. You know, it's getting nothing, nothing on the ground,

823
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:41,839
Speaker 1: and it's been this way, getting nothing on the ground

824
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 1: for him anymore. And that's the problem. It's sure it

825
00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,439
Speaker 1: sure seems that way that they've just completely gone away

826
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 1: from any pretense of of running with him. And that

827
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 1: was where a significant portion of his fantasy, his fantasy

828
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: excellence came from. So I'm not dropping him quite yet.

829
00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him another week or two to see

830
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,960
Speaker 1: what happens. But he's uh yeah, he's Rivera will be

831
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 1: the first coach fired in the NFL this year. Wow,

832
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: you it's not impossible that you're right about that new owner,

833
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 1: don't They won and nine in their last ten. Today

834
00:44:11,280 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: they lost? They lost some things six or last seven.

835
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 1: We're only a couple of weeks away from this coming

836
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: up next. Let's answer three tough questions beyond the Cam

837
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 1: Newton one. You can play along. Try to go hey,

838
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:43,480
Speaker 1: perfect three and oh on Fantasy Football Weekly. It is

839
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly on Paul arch fanball dot com. My

840
00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 1: cohorts are Christian Peterson and Matt Harrison. You are my

841
00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 1: panel of experts, gentlemen, and that means it's time to

842
00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,840
Speaker 1: get into the grinder with three tough questions. Listeners you

843
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 1: can play along, Stee if you can go three and

844
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 1: question number one with Antonio Brown now on board? Is

845
00:45:06,080 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 1: Tom Brady and every single week automatic starter? Christian, Yes,

846
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 1: I'm going to say yes, although I mean, is Antonio

847
00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 1: Brown on board? Looks like he's gonna be for Week two.

848
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:26,040
Speaker 1: We don't know beyond that, But honestly, even even without him,

849
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 1: the way that this offense functioned in Week one was

850
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,719
Speaker 1: pretty impressive. And let's recall, Brady has been a top

851
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 1: twelve at least a top twelve, if not, you know,

852
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: top three fantasy quarterback every single uninjured year since two

853
00:45:38,680 --> 00:45:41,760
Speaker 1: thousand and seven. Really, the only reason that he wasn't

854
00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 1: coming into this year is because we weren't sure who

855
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 1: he was going to throw to. Josh Gordon hadn't been reinstated,

856
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown wasn't around, Gronk retired, so it wasn't clear.

857
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,880
Speaker 1: They had Julian Edelman and a bunch of question marks.

858
00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, now Gordon's back, Brown is in

859
00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: the fold. So yeah, absolutely, he's he is an easy

860
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 1: every week starter at this point. Yeah, CP took most

861
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 1: of my thunder, but I want to tell her. I

862
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 1: want to ask you to tell me when they're going

863
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:12,200
Speaker 1: to lose in this schedule this week at Miami, next

864
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:16,360
Speaker 1: week against Trevor Simeon and the Jets, then at Buffalo,

865
00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 1: then at Washington, then the Giants at home, then at

866
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 1: the Jets. That's seven and oh they don't play another

867
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,800
Speaker 1: moderately tough team until week eight at home against Cleveland,

868
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: and who knows if Cleveland's good. So Tom Brady is

869
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:33,760
Speaker 1: going to be a start just about every week until

870
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: then at Baltimore. I think week nine is that's it.

871
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's gonna be a juggernaut. And that

872
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: was you guys took all my I was gonna go

873
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: right to the schedule. You took all my all my points.

874
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: No playoff team on the schedule until week nine. Yep.

875
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: It's it's unbelievable. They're just the rich get richer with that,

876
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 1: with that particular organization. It wasn't that tough a question.

877
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: The correct answer is yes. Tough question Number two, should

878
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 1: fantasy owners hold Hunter Henry or drop him Matt, This

879
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 1: question was tougher. Charge Yeah. In fact, on Twitter, John

880
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:13,200
Speaker 1: de Nunzio told me to guard my broca's lobe during

881
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:15,360
Speaker 1: this question because it would be a shame if I

882
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 1: weren't able to move my tongue or facial muscles to

883
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: produce the sounds of speech. John, that would be about

884
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 1: that would be unfortunate at this moment. Good thing I

885
00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 1: guarded it well. For those of us that have been

886
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 1: listening to you, we'd actually welcome you being unable to

887
00:47:28,560 --> 00:47:33,320
Speaker 1: form words. Wo uh. You can drop Hunter Henry and Redraft.

888
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 1: It's a tibia plateau fracture which can be afford a

889
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:39,800
Speaker 1: six week injury. Although J J. Watt had this injury

890
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: in and missed the rest of the season, and he

891
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: had it early as well. The Chargers honestly don't know

892
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:47,839
Speaker 1: when and if he can come back. And let's say

893
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 1: he comes back in late October. He gets the Bears, Packers, Broncos, Jaguars,

894
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 1: and Vikings defenses on his schedule. His only easy game

895
00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 1: games are a game against the Chiefs and two games

896
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 1: against the Raiders. Those are probably the only starting grades

897
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: he gets unless he's a dred percent healthy, So I

898
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:09,360
Speaker 1: I think you can drop him. Okay, yeah, I agree.

899
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 1: I think the original timeline here four to six weeks

900
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 1: seems optimistic based on what we've heard from other people

901
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: who have suffered this injury. And another factor here is

902
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:20,960
Speaker 1: that there are now other tight ends that you can

903
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: go and get. There are legitimate tight ends that might

904
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 1: have been on your waiver wire, including Darren Waller after

905
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: week one, t J. Hockenson who erupted in week one,

906
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 1: even Delaney Walker who most people probably weren't drafting, and

907
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 1: he had two touchdowns. He looks like he's back. So

908
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: I think the fact that there are legitimate tight ends

909
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 1: actually that you can go and get, means that you

910
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 1: can't waste the roster spot for Hunter Henry Okay, Doctor

911
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 1: Harrison and Dr Peterson you know, by all means feel

912
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 1: free to override every you know, all the team doctors

913
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 1: who have actually looked at his knee and set the

914
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: timetable for recovery charge. I consulted online doctors, and the

915
00:48:55,600 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 1: online doctors are never wrong. Nick Riviera online doctor Uh,

916
00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 1: he's expected to come back in four to six weeks,

917
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 1: it could just as easily be four as six. In

918
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:07,920
Speaker 1: either way, that's enough that you're gonna hold him. There

919
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:09,800
Speaker 1: just aren't enough good tight ends to kick one to

920
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: the curb a rosters. T. J. Hockenson is on a

921
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: ROS and redraft. Know not after your perennial advice that

922
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: you can't trust rookie tight ends. Some some of the

923
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:28,840
Speaker 1: tight ends that we were counting on look super dubious

924
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 1: right now. O. J. Howard, Kyle Rudolph, Jared Cook, Jack Doyle,

925
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 1: they all underwhelmed. We don't know that you can go

926
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:39,880
Speaker 1: to war with those guys you're really gonna bring into this.

927
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 1: You're asking you can't find a tight end? Average is

928
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 1: half a touchdown per game anywhere else. It costs you

929
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,359
Speaker 1: a roster spot for a month. Big deal, because when

930
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 1: he comes back, you've got a potentially top five tight

931
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:58,360
Speaker 1: end the rest of the year. You can't walk past that.

932
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 1: So askue you a question. Yes, if you have Hunt

933
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry, Yeah, wait what is this? If you have

934
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry Kareem Hunt, a guy who you told everybody

935
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 1: to draft, and maybe a J. Green on your bench

936
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: right now, then what do you do? Are you dropping

937
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:16,319
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry that who's got that combination of players you got?

938
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:20,800
Speaker 1: I would advocate holding all all any one of those players. Okay,

939
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: but most people don't have enough rosters hold all three,

940
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 1: and most people Hunter Henry don't have Kareem Hunt tough.

941
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:33,360
Speaker 1: Question number three? Should fantasy owners beholding any Jets receiver? Christian?

942
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question, now, just kidding, I

943
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:40,840
Speaker 1: would never do that to you, Dare. What was the question,

944
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:45,640
Speaker 1: should be holding any Jets receivers? Yeah? I mean this

945
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: question comes up because of the Sam Donald news where

946
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 1: he's going to be out three to four weeks with

947
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 1: and let me let me just get ahead of the story.

948
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 1: I gave it to him. I know there was a

949
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of internet rumors. It was me.

950
00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:02,360
Speaker 1: It was me, Hey, just let's just move on, and

951
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 1: we're now ahead of the story. Guess I gotta go

952
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:09,320
Speaker 1: get Mono tested now bad news? Uh? Yeah, So so

953
00:51:09,400 --> 00:51:11,400
Speaker 1: that's where this question comes from, right. But I think

954
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder is the only guy that you can hold

955
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 1: here after his seventeen target Week one performance. I mean,

956
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:18,920
Speaker 1: he's the guy in this offense that's gonna play in

957
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,800
Speaker 1: the slot. They're gonna If anything, I think Trevor Simon

958
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,319
Speaker 1: is going to focus on him as much or more

959
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 1: because he's incapable of throwing the deep ball. So Robbie Anderson,

960
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 1: you can let get rid of him. Da Marius Thomas,

961
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:33,400
Speaker 1: I'm certainly not jumping on him right away, but I

962
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 1: will hold Jamison Crowder. I just want to talk about

963
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 1: how Jamison Crowder was might take a chance on me

964
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver last week. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get a

965
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:50,359
Speaker 1: happy trombone to Sam Donald. Likes to target the slot,

966
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 1: but Sam Donald has mono. When Donald does return, it's

967
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:57,799
Speaker 1: likely that's about when Chris Herndon returns, and I think

968
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:01,880
Speaker 1: that SAPs a lot of what was making outer super targetable. Uh,

969
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 1: the inside targets. Herndon's the guy I want the most

970
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:07,319
Speaker 1: spent in a redraft league. You won't have to pick

971
00:52:07,400 --> 00:52:09,839
Speaker 1: him up until we tell you to pick him up

972
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:12,960
Speaker 1: in premature speculation next week. It's probably come by the way,

973
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 1: Go get Herndon now, because you can afford to sit

974
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:16,920
Speaker 1: on him for four This is a this is a

975
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:25,440
Speaker 1: speculation and un Tyreek Hill and Tyreek Kill. Uh, you

976
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 1: should drop them all, Sam Donald. Sam Donald's mono is

977
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 1: gonna be two to four weeks, right, So he's basically

978
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 1: nuke dollar receivers. For four weeks, and now the bio

979
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: is week four. Now it's week five, and here comes

980
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:41,239
Speaker 1: the Eagles, then the Cowboys, then the Patriots, and then

981
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. Those are all negative matchups for the passing game. Eagles, Cowboys, Patriots, Jaguars.

982
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:52,319
Speaker 1: But allow me to note this, after everybody has at

983
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:56,399
Speaker 1: that point wash their hands of the Jets receivers, their

984
00:52:56,440 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: schedule becomes the easiest passing schedule in the NFL. Breathe

985
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: the rest of the way, and at that point it's

986
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 1: somewhere in the week seven, week eight, you're gonna be

987
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:08,239
Speaker 1: able to strike on a bunch of Jets and get

988
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 1: hot in the second half. Did they happen to get

989
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:13,279
Speaker 1: the Dolphins twice in the playoffs? So they don't they

990
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 1: get I think the Dolphins are Week ten or or so.

991
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:18,319
Speaker 1: Not twice in the fantasy playoffs. I would have been handy.

992
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 1: Not the case. You better wash your hands with that

993
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 1: mono going around. Well, there's a good point. It's a

994
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 1: good point. Vikings take onto the Packers. Let's let's try

995
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: to break down this game a little bit from the

996
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:31,920
Speaker 1: Viking side. Dalvin Cook extraordinary in the first game, got

997
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 1: seventy eight percent of the place with Vikings are running plays.

998
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 1: They only threw ten passes in the game, they were

999
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:39,839
Speaker 1: still running him like deep into the fourth quarter by

1000
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:42,760
Speaker 1: three touch I was like, let's get some Alexander Madison

1001
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 1: in here, and Maxtuale Madison looked good too, and the

1002
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 1: average five yards to carry um last week the Bears

1003
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 1: a band in the run against the Packers instantly, And

1004
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 1: so I don't think I got a really good feel

1005
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:55,240
Speaker 1: for the Packers run defense and how good it really

1006
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:57,280
Speaker 1: might be and if it's whether or not it's particularly

1007
00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,439
Speaker 1: improved from last year. You couldn't get a good feel

1008
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:02,040
Speaker 1: for anything on that first game between the Packers. It

1009
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 1: was so weird, all right, um, and Mr Bisky was

1010
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 1: so bad. So I think you know there will be

1011
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 1: a considered effort to get cook going. He's getting He

1012
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:10,320
Speaker 1: gets an A grade here, And let me mention this

1013
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 1: as well. The Bears backs had fifteen receptions in the game,

1014
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:18,160
Speaker 1: and that coming off a six reception game last week.

1015
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 1: That's just Tarik Cohen, who played slot receiver more than

1016
00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:23,799
Speaker 1: anybody who all highlight in the next matchup. But there

1017
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:26,840
Speaker 1: you go, Uh that was that was still fifteen receptions.

1018
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 1: Tarik Cohen was eight of them or whatever, so there's

1019
00:54:28,680 --> 00:54:31,440
Speaker 1: still plenty of receptions to go around. Cook said obvious

1020
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: a the passing game has got a lot of people

1021
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:37,240
Speaker 1: worried because of the just the ten the ten attempts

1022
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 1: last week by Kirk Cousins. Plus the offensive line looked bad,

1023
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 1: finished dead last Vikings offensive line in past protection by

1024
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus after Week one, and I worry about

1025
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 1: Cousins finding time to hit his receivers downfield. The Packers

1026
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:55,800
Speaker 1: pass rush looked amazing on Thursday, and the Vikings offensive

1027
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 1: line isn't nearly as good as the Bears is, so

1028
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 1: I'm of us here. Cousins was good in both matchups

1029
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 1: last year, but this Packer's defense feels so much better

1030
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:06,720
Speaker 1: and so much faster. I've got just a C grade

1031
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 1: on Cousins. I've got a B grade on Adam Finland.

1032
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:13,680
Speaker 1: In the two divisional matchups with Green Bay last year,

1033
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:19,240
Speaker 1: Finland put it caught twenty passes for two hundred fifty

1034
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,720
Speaker 1: six yards and two touchdowns. Now, the beauty of feeling

1035
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 1: is he will play the X, Y and the Z

1036
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:28,400
Speaker 1: positions so they can match him up against the aged

1037
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 1: Termont Williams or the Rusty Kevin King. They can find

1038
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 1: their matchups with him, so I give him a B grade.

1039
00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:36,719
Speaker 1: Digs less as much, and I think he's gonna get

1040
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 1: a lot of j Or Alexander. I don't like that

1041
00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:40,759
Speaker 1: matchup as much, and I think Diggs wants to get

1042
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:42,960
Speaker 1: free down field more and again not sure if he's

1043
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: if Cousins will have the time for that. So I've

1044
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 1: only got a C grade on Stefon Diggs. Also, Theelan's

1045
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 1: last two trips to Lambo twelve receptions in each game.

1046
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:54,799
Speaker 1: Dang uh, Stefa. We just mentioned step On Diggs. Cole

1047
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 1: Rodolph zero catches last week, despite playing one hundred percent

1048
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,760
Speaker 1: of the Vikings snap. He had no catches in one target.

1049
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 1: He'll I think he'll catch a pass, so I'm gonna

1050
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:06,439
Speaker 1: go on a limb he will have at least one pass.

1051
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 1: He did have one called back on penalty. He had

1052
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 1: a pass called back on. He had a reception called

1053
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:15,240
Speaker 1: back on penalty. Last week, the Bears tight ends combined

1054
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: for one catch for six yards against Green Bay. And

1055
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 1: now they've got these speedy linebackers who are perfectly well

1056
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 1: suited to cover a guy like Rudolph. So I've got

1057
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 1: him on the bench until we have a better read

1058
00:56:26,280 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: on how he's going to fit into this Vikings offense.

1059
00:56:29,160 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Green Bay side. Aaron Rodgers gets

1060
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 1: a Mike Zimmer defense that has absolutely throttled him as

1061
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:40,360
Speaker 1: well as any team in the past. He has thrown

1062
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 1: zero or one touchdowns in five of the past six games.

1063
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:47,759
Speaker 1: The Vikings secondary may be shorthanded, well, they will be

1064
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:51,200
Speaker 1: shorthanded without slot cornerback McKenzie Alexander, which does give some

1065
00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:54,840
Speaker 1: help for Aaron Rodgers here. He can target potentially Geroni

1066
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:58,479
Speaker 1: Allison in the slot against safety j Ron Curse, who's

1067
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:00,719
Speaker 1: gonna get moved to slock cornerback. That could be a

1068
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,319
Speaker 1: plus matchup for him. So I kind of like him

1069
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 1: there for that for that particular reason. Also potentially a

1070
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 1: nice game and by the way, be great for Aaron Rodgers.

1071
00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:14,320
Speaker 1: Be great on Marques Valdez scantling in a speed versus

1072
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:18,640
Speaker 1: speed matchup with Trey Waynes. Now Trey Waynes gave up

1073
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 1: a couple, gave up a long long dish touchdown, and

1074
00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:25,720
Speaker 1: in a speed versus speed matchup last week ended up

1075
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 1: giving up a touchdown to Calvin Ridley. Also a very

1076
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 1: fast player and somebody that concerns me at least a

1077
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 1: little bit. Davante Adams has had a fair and by

1078
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 1: the way, Marquez Velde Scantling gets a B grade, Davante

1079
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 1: Adams gets a B grade. Um he draws Xavier Rhodes

1080
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 1: primarily in this matchup, but mostly He's been pretty good

1081
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 1: against the Vikings last year. Average game seven catches, sixty

1082
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:53,920
Speaker 1: seven yards, found the end zone in both of those games,

1083
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:57,040
Speaker 1: So I've got a B grade on him. Then there's

1084
00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, and this one is a little bit trickier.

1085
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:04,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Joe Owns did absolutely nothing in the Thursday night opener,

1086
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:08,280
Speaker 1: and now he gets another very good run defense. The

1087
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:11,400
Speaker 1: Vikings have allowed just to one hundred yard rushers in

1088
00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:16,560
Speaker 1: their last thirty three games. Think about that underappreciated part

1089
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 1: about the Aaron Jones situation. People. A lot of people

1090
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 1: were really high on him this year, but realize now

1091
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 1: he has to play the Bears twice and the Vikings

1092
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 1: twice in Detroit. Who's no picnic either, Snax Harrison, right,

1093
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 1: I mean this The time to trade for Aaron Jones

1094
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 1: might be after this week, with a frustrated owner who

1095
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 1: might be owing to the Vikings and Lynn Vaal Joseph.

1096
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 1: Their run stuff are completely shut down. DeVonta Freeman last

1097
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:43,760
Speaker 1: week and looked very fast and impressive in the opener.

1098
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 1: Um I've got I've got just a C grade on

1099
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:49,880
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones in this game. And also, by the way,

1100
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 1: stop using Jamal Williams. To the love of God, he's terrible.

1101
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 1: People are using well the team is in real life

1102
00:58:57,080 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 1: fantasy players, aren't. Um. I mentioned Geronimo Allison. I just

1103
00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:02,960
Speaker 1: want to drill down on this for a second. I

1104
00:59:03,080 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 1: love the juicy matchup in the slot against a backup

1105
00:59:05,880 --> 00:59:08,600
Speaker 1: slot cornerback. But he had a juicy matchup last week

1106
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:10,400
Speaker 1: against Buster Screen in the slot and they didn't throw

1107
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 1: him one time. So I got a bench grade on

1108
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 1: Jon Allison, even though I really think they should correct

1109
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 1: that and go back to Allison here. But I'm rattled

1110
00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 1: after last week, and I just I can't. I can't

1111
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 1: get myself to advocate for that. I am I deeply

1112
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:28,880

Speaker 1: listening just because of our stupid Well, yeah, that's the

1138
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 1: best part of the ongoing stupidity. Uh. Speaking of stupidity,

1139
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:16,920
Speaker 1: let's let's switch this up to Sad trombone Ski. I

1140
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:20,720
Speaker 1: know couldn't have looked worse on Thursday night. Um, well

1141
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 1: two Thursday nights to go. Now Mitch Robinsky, and now

1142
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 1: he has to face the defensive coordinator that he practiced

1143
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:31,960
Speaker 1: against that knows everything about him. This is a very

1144
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 1: tricky spot for him to try to rebound in. What

1145
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:36,960
Speaker 1: do you think, Matt is there's something to be salvaged

1146
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 1: from that Bears offense. Uh, maybe a little bit, But

1147
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 1: it's the lowest over under of the week with fourty

1148
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:46,400
Speaker 1: and a half. And an interesting stat since two thousand,

1149
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 1: the Broncos are twenty two and one in home games

1150
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:53,600
Speaker 1: in week one or two of the season. They're super

1151
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 1: good mile high in September. They just keep winning. Um,

1152
01:01:57,280 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 1: so Rubinsky, I got him on the bench. Uh. He

1153
01:02:00,680 --> 01:02:02,919
Speaker 1: dropped back to pass the third most in the league

1154
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:07,680
Speaker 1: last week, fifty three times. That's good dropping back fifty

1155
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:10,640
Speaker 1: three times. It's good for for fantasy. It's a lot

1156
01:02:11,080 --> 01:02:13,920
Speaker 1: but yes, but he averaged a horrible five point one

1157
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,560
Speaker 1: yards per attempt and had a hideous game ending pick.

1158
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:20,480
Speaker 1: He was also sacked five times. Obviously, he plays against

1159
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 1: the coach that practiced against him every day for the

1160
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:25,400
Speaker 1: last two years. It's bad for Traubinsky. I am going

1161
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:28,360
Speaker 1: to give Allen Robinson a B. If anybody gets going,

1162
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 1: it's going to be a rob He had one hundred

1163
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:33,959
Speaker 1: fifty three air yards last week, which was sixth best

1164
01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:36,960
Speaker 1: in the league, and was targeted thirteen times, which was

1165
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:40,960
Speaker 1: more than all other wide receivers and tight ends combined

1166
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:44,480
Speaker 1: on the bear So and by the way, Trubisky still

1167
01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 1: missed him open on several plays. Yeah, it was a

1168
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 1: little bit erratic. Slightly um, Allen Robinson should see Chris

1169
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:54,120
Speaker 1: Harris shadow coverage went on the outside of it. But

1170
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 1: that worries me. Naggy sent Robinson to the slot on

1171
01:02:57,360 --> 01:03:00,680
Speaker 1: forty percent of his plays last week. When he wasn't

1172
01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:04,000
Speaker 1: in the slot, it was Tarik Cohen playing the slot

1173
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:07,920
Speaker 1: almost the rest of those plays. He gets a C grade. Uh,

1174
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:10,160
Speaker 1: he's listed as a running back, but he's playing wide

1175
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:12,320
Speaker 1: receiver and he's ahead of Anthony Miller on the wide

1176
01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:15,440
Speaker 1: receiver depth chart right now. Um Cohen was on the

1177
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 1: field for seventy of the plays last week, so I

1178
01:03:18,960 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 1: think that he's in a He's in an interesting little

1179
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:23,280
Speaker 1: spot because as kind of weapon X on that team,

1180
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 1: he's the only running back i'd start, though Mike Davis

1181
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:29,000
Speaker 1: and David Montgomery are on the bench. Davis out snapped

1182
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:32,400
Speaker 1: Monty fifty six to thirty six percent last week out

1183
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:35,640
Speaker 1: touched him eleven to seven. I don't get it. Naggi's

1184
01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:37,920
Speaker 1: gonna keep using Davis as the feature back until he

1185
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:40,439
Speaker 1: figures out Montgomery is better. And it's a shame because

1186
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 1: fellow rookie Josh Jacobs just torched the Broncos defense for

1187
01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 1: a hundred and thirteen total yards and two scores last week.

1188
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:49,840
Speaker 1: Should mention Trey Burton Is still has a groin injury

1189
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 1: of status is up in the air, but he's on

1190
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:55,800
Speaker 1: the bench. On the Broncos side, everybody's on the bench,

1191
01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:58,200
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay and Royce Freeman. It was an almost even

1192
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:01,800
Speaker 1: split last week, almost fifth d fifty. Lindsay got of

1193
01:04:01,840 --> 01:04:04,680
Speaker 1: the snaps, Freeman got forty seven. And the Bears defense

1194
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:06,800
Speaker 1: is still legit. They held Aaron Jones the thirty nine

1195
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:10,040
Speaker 1: total yards on fourteen touches. Joe Flacco is the worst

1196
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:12,400
Speaker 1: starting quarterback in the league, so he's on your bench,

1197
01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:15,120
Speaker 1: and Courtland Sutton and Emmanuel Sanders are both gonna be

1198
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 1: on your bench to the Broncos are facing the Bears,

1199
01:04:18,040 --> 01:04:21,360
Speaker 1: not the Raiders. The Bears held Davante Adams to four

1200
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:24,120
Speaker 1: catches in thirty six yards last week, and despite Sutton

1201
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:26,880
Speaker 1: and Sanders each putting up decent fantasy points, it was

1202
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:29,240
Speaker 1: mainly in garbage time. This game is going to be

1203
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:31,600
Speaker 1: insanely low scoring. There will not be a moment for

1204
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 1: the Broncos to open it up. So both on the bench.

1205
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:37,560
Speaker 1: M I'm with you, man, Kansas City takes on Oakland.

1206
01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 1: I want to start with the running backs. I was

1207
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:44,600
Speaker 1: skeptical about Lashawn McCoy because he looked just so spent

1208
01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:47,320
Speaker 1: when he was in Buffalo the last couple of years.

1209
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 1: But you know, he's it seems rejuvenated. Maybe it's just,

1210
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:53,640
Speaker 1: you know, part of being in this amazing offense for

1211
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:56,280
Speaker 1: Kansas City. What do you think about Lashawn McCoy in

1212
01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 1: this matchup? Well, yeah, let's do a little comparison of

1213
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 1: coy and Damian Williams, because both of them were certainly involved.

1214
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:05,920
Speaker 1: McCoy was only on the field for of the snaps

1215
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:09,560
Speaker 1: compared to sixty six percent for Williams. McCoy was clearly

1216
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:12,760
Speaker 1: the superior runner. He had ten carries for eighty one yards.

1217
01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:16,560
Speaker 1: Williams game just twenty six yards on his thirteen carries.

1218
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:22,200
Speaker 1: But Williams got all of the important fantasy point scoring action.

1219
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 1: He was the guy catching passes. He was the guy

1220
01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:27,400
Speaker 1: in the red zone. He had four of the five

1221
01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 1: red zone carries. He was targeted in the passing game

1222
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 1: three times in the red zone. He scored a short touchdown.

1223
01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:37,400
Speaker 1: He had six pass receptions. So I think you can

1224
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:40,320
Speaker 1: play McCoy here. I've got a sea level starting grade

1225
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:42,800
Speaker 1: on him, but it's gonna be all whatever he can

1226
01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:44,640
Speaker 1: do on the ground, and he may need to score

1227
01:05:44,720 --> 01:05:46,880
Speaker 1: from distance because it feels like Williams is the red

1228
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:49,680
Speaker 1: zone guy. So nothing better than a see I've got

1229
01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 1: to be on Damian Williams in part because of the

1230
01:05:52,640 --> 01:05:54,840
Speaker 1: split he's given, clearly giving up enough of the work

1231
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:57,600
Speaker 1: to McCoy, but he is getting the important looks. So

1232
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:01,600
Speaker 1: still a B level grade here against a very middling

1233
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:04,320
Speaker 1: Raiders defense, they're gonna put up all sorts of points,

1234
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:06,400
Speaker 1: they're gonna be in scoring position, so Williams can be

1235
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 1: in your lineup the passing the passing game is obvious

1236
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:13,800
Speaker 1: here A plus on Patrick Mahomes, A plus plus on

1237
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins, who all of a sudden, by the way,

1238
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:19,520
Speaker 1: congratulations if he took Sammy Watkins as like your second

1239
01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:22,280
Speaker 1: wide receiver in the third or fourth round now that

1240
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:25,880
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill is out, and an a plus plus plus

1241
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:30,080
Speaker 1: plus to Travis Kelsey. This is why, because you give

1242
01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:33,320
Speaker 1: people an inch and this is what they do. In

1243
01:06:33,720 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 1: the Week thirteen matchup to the power of seven. In

1244
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:39,360
Speaker 1: the Week thirteen matchup with the Raiders last year, all

1245
01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:42,200
Speaker 1: Travis Kels did was a hundred and sixty eight yards

1246
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:44,560
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns. So he's obviously in your lineup. And

1247
01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:46,480
Speaker 1: even me Cole Hardman, he was might take a chance

1248
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:49,080
Speaker 1: on me wide receiver, So start them all, start all

1249
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 1: your Chiefs on the Raiders side. Derek Carr Carbage time,

1250
01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:55,480
Speaker 1: it was might take a chance on me quarterback. That

1251
01:06:55,600 --> 01:06:58,840
Speaker 1: also brings Tyrell Williams, the new number one wide receiver

1252
01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:01,640
Speaker 1: into play head over a hundred yards and a touchdown.

1253
01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:05,040
Speaker 1: The Chief's got just abused last week by d J.

1254
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:08,480
Speaker 1: Shark and Chris Conley, of all people, they combined for

1255
01:07:08,560 --> 01:07:11,720
Speaker 1: two hundred and forty three receiving yards and two touchdowns.

1256
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:14,560
Speaker 1: So Williams is A is a good play here. I've

1257
01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:17,440
Speaker 1: got to be I've got to be on him, maybe

1258
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:22,200
Speaker 1: B and a half, maybe B point five up bay

1259
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:26,560
Speaker 1: Bay an ab get an ab on him, and then

1260
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:29,240
Speaker 1: Darren Waller. I put an A on Waller. He looked

1261
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:32,400
Speaker 1: fantastic last week, played every single snap, led the Raiders

1262
01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:35,280
Speaker 1: with eight targets. The Chiefs had the NFL's worst tight

1263
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:37,680
Speaker 1: end defense last year. They allowed the fourth most yards

1264
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:40,959
Speaker 1: and the most touchdowns to the position. So get Darren

1265
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:43,560
Speaker 1: Waller in your lineup again this week. That leaves us

1266
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:46,520
Speaker 1: with the running game and Josh Jacobs. He had a

1267
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:50,440
Speaker 1: pretty spectacular debut, at least by the box score. Scored

1268
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:54,320
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. Wasn't that involved in the air. As we've mentioned,

1269
01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:56,400
Speaker 1: the Chief's defense not great. They're not great against the

1270
01:07:56,480 --> 01:07:58,520
Speaker 1: run either. They allowed the fifth most rushing yards and

1271
01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:01,960
Speaker 1: the sixth most rushing touchdown owns last year. The problem

1272
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:05,000
Speaker 1: here could be game script. I think we're gonna see, Hey,

1273
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:07,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna see if Josh Jacobs has some receiving game club.

1274
01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:10,320
Speaker 1: We're gonna see if it's just gonna be a Jalen

1275
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 1: Richard game as the Raiders are trying to play catch up. So, uh,

1276
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:18,160
Speaker 1: Richard could be a sneaky play here, but the Raiders

1277
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:20,320
Speaker 1: didn't use them much against Kansas City last year. He

1278
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:21,880
Speaker 1: had just three catches in one game and two in

1279
01:08:21,920 --> 01:08:24,920
Speaker 1: the others. So I gave Jacobs a B starting grade

1280
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:27,560
Speaker 1: because he's a clear workhorse here. But there is a

1281
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:30,559
Speaker 1: there's a little risk that this becomes a Richard receiving

1282
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:35,640
Speaker 1: game for sure. Seattle takes on Pittsburgh. Let's start with

1283
01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:37,840
Speaker 1: the running game for Seattle, because my guy Chris Carson

1284
01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:40,120
Speaker 1: scored twice last week and he has now found the

1285
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:42,840
Speaker 1: end zone in five straight games and eight of his

1286
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:47,960
Speaker 1: last ten games. And Pittsburgh has allowed rushing touchdowns two

1287
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:50,400
Speaker 1: backs in seven of their last nine going back to

1288
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:52,920
Speaker 1: last year. I like him to score again here. Now.

1289
01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:55,120
Speaker 1: The Steelers were great against the run last week, even

1290
01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:57,439
Speaker 1: a blowout, and I don't know that it gets a

1291
01:08:57,479 --> 01:08:59,680
Speaker 1: lot easier through the air for Chris Carson either. The

1292
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:02,519
Speaker 1: Steve have allowed deposing running back to top forty six

1293
01:09:02,600 --> 01:09:07,919
Speaker 1: receiving yards in just eight of their last forty seven games,

1294
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:11,479
Speaker 1: so it's gonna be I think Carson scratches out a

1295
01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:13,479
Speaker 1: meaningful game with a touchdown here, but I don't know

1296
01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:16,080
Speaker 1: that even gets to one total yards. It might be

1297
01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:18,080
Speaker 1: a little bit like last week, or the artag isn't great,

1298
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:20,840
Speaker 1: but the touchdown. The touchdowns help you out. Let's go

1299
01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:23,000
Speaker 1: to the passing game, by the way, be great for

1300
01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:26,360
Speaker 1: Chris Carson. A B grade on Russell Wilson. If the

1301
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:30,480
Speaker 1: Steelers secondary wants to rebound from last week's nationally televised embarrassment,

1302
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:33,799
Speaker 1: they're gonna need to do it without cornerback Joe Iron Hayden.

1303
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:40,720
Speaker 1: Clink clink. Oh, there we go. Hayden's injuries only half

1304
01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:43,760
Speaker 1: the problem, though. Opposite him is Stephen Nelson, who was

1305
01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:46,680
Speaker 1: disastrous last year with Kansas City and a lot of

1306
01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:49,960
Speaker 1: touchdown in his coverage on Sunday Night as well. Now,

1307
01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:53,639
Speaker 1: ty The Lockett probably plays here, but if he does

1308
01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 1: not go, then Russell Wilson drops down to a C

1309
01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:59,000
Speaker 1: grade and maybe even a bench grade at that point,

1310
01:09:59,240 --> 01:10:01,800
Speaker 1: because they're they just don't have much in the way

1311
01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:05,160
Speaker 1: of depth here at all. So let's go to Tyler Lockett.

1312
01:10:05,200 --> 01:10:07,640
Speaker 1: He's a game time decision. Watch his back injury and

1313
01:10:07,680 --> 01:10:09,200
Speaker 1: back injuries or something. You have to watch all the

1314
01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:11,720
Speaker 1: way up to kick off because the back injury flares up,

1315
01:10:11,800 --> 01:10:13,960
Speaker 1: tightens up or whatever, and they're la. You know they do.

1316
01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:15,600
Speaker 1: You think they're gonna go, and then they don't go,

1317
01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:19,000
Speaker 1: so be careful. Lockett faces a Steelers team that gave

1318
01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:22,760
Speaker 1: up three touchdowns of at least twenty two yards to

1319
01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:25,559
Speaker 1: the Patriots in Week one, and here comes Lockett, known

1320
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:28,080
Speaker 1: for his deep speed, So I gotta like that matchup.

1321
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 1: And he played six of his snaps from the slot

1322
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:35,160
Speaker 1: last week, and if that holds up, he'll be facing

1323
01:10:35,200 --> 01:10:39,639
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh cornerback Mike Hilton, who struggled to contain Julian Edelman

1324
01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:42,960
Speaker 1: last week. A B grade on Tyler, Lockett C grade

1325
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:46,840
Speaker 1: and DK Metcalf, which actually surprises me. If Lockett doesn't go,

1326
01:10:46,920 --> 01:10:49,360
Speaker 1: by the way, then I'd like Metcalf even less because

1327
01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:52,320
Speaker 1: he gets extra coverage here. But I thought Metcalf was

1328
01:10:52,360 --> 01:10:54,479
Speaker 1: gonna be a guy that was going to really struggle

1329
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:57,240
Speaker 1: out of the gates because he was very raw. The

1330
01:10:57,320 --> 01:10:58,840
Speaker 1: number of routes he could run his thought to be

1331
01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:01,559
Speaker 1: very limited. They threw to him plenty, and he looked

1332
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:04,920
Speaker 1: pretty good Steelers secondary gash last week, as I already mentioned.

1333
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:08,679
Speaker 1: And he's his size frame comparison similar to Josh Gordon,

1334
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:11,639
Speaker 1: who had a nice big game in the opener. So yeah,

1335
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:14,040
Speaker 1: I can see a C grade on DK Metcalf here.

1336
01:11:14,080 --> 01:11:16,599
Speaker 1: And he was on the field seventy percent of the snap.

1337
01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:20,679
Speaker 1: That is surprising for the first start rookie. Will DISLI

1338
01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:23,120
Speaker 1: probably will not play in this game. Let's go to

1339
01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:27,760
Speaker 1: the Steelers side again with Ben Roethlisberger, who looked dreadful

1340
01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:31,720
Speaker 1: on Saturday night. Um, he kept throwing the ball. Did

1341
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:35,280
Speaker 1: Dante Moncrief, for the love of God, just just stop

1342
01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:40,439
Speaker 1: with the Dante moncreef oh Man. Now, the good news

1343
01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:43,400
Speaker 1: is going up against Seattle. Andy Dalton just put up

1344
01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:46,479
Speaker 1: a four hundred yard or on Seattle last week. But

1345
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:49,160
Speaker 1: to me, that old John Ross too long touchdowns thing

1346
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:51,280
Speaker 1: feels like kind of a fluke and the Steelers don't

1347
01:11:51,320 --> 01:11:54,040
Speaker 1: have the same speed guy on roster. John Ross was

1348
01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:59,240
Speaker 1: in a homecoming game last week Washington was that there

1349
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:03,400
Speaker 1: you go. Um, so I don't. I'm I'm luke warm

1350
01:12:03,479 --> 01:12:05,439
Speaker 1: on Ben and I've just got to be And it

1351
01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:07,360
Speaker 1: was for a while ahead as a C grade, but

1352
01:12:07,439 --> 01:12:10,200
Speaker 1: as Juju appears to be at full healthier, I've moved

1353
01:12:10,240 --> 01:12:13,200
Speaker 1: Ben back up to a B grade and um and

1354
01:12:13,360 --> 01:12:19,040
Speaker 1: remember his home splits are bonkers since seen his average

1355
01:12:19,080 --> 01:12:22,160
Speaker 1: home game three hundred nine yards and two and a

1356
01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:27,000
Speaker 1: half touchdowns per game. So on fanball, Steeler stack is

1357
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:30,040
Speaker 1: an interesting stack that nobody's going to be thinking about.

1358
01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:36,000
Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster, Jujuan Donald and James Conner Vans McDonald

1359
01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:38,360
Speaker 1: was might take a chance guy, Let's talk about Juju

1360
01:12:38,680 --> 01:12:41,120
Speaker 1: h the toe injury. He should play though he's playing

1361
01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:43,320
Speaker 1: both the slot where he had always played before and

1362
01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:46,160
Speaker 1: they're breaking him out wide. From the slot. He has

1363
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:50,200
Speaker 1: a very favorable match up against rookie cornerback Hugo Amandi.

1364
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:55,080
Speaker 1: Hugo Amadi, you just like to say, go Amati. And

1365
01:12:55,160 --> 01:12:57,760
Speaker 1: when he's outside, he can match up with Tray Flowers,

1366
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:02,360
Speaker 1: who gave up one read seventy yards in his coverage

1367
01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:06,320
Speaker 1: last week. How about that? So there's your Steelers, your

1368
01:13:06,360 --> 01:13:09,720
Speaker 1: Steelers staff there right there. Juju Smith Schuster did not

1369
01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 1: just pull him off the field at some point. How

1370
01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:14,320
Speaker 1: do you watch just how do you watch that happen

1371
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:17,960
Speaker 1: and unfold in front of you. Um. The only other

1372
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:20,680
Speaker 1: receivers I'm gonna mention Dante Moncrief, just don't do it.

1373
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:23,679
Speaker 1: Deante Johnson, We're gonna talk more about later. Vince McDonald's

1374
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:25,840
Speaker 1: may take a chance of me guy. James Conner though

1375
01:13:26,200 --> 01:13:29,519
Speaker 1: a B grade Seattle stuff the Bengals runners last week,

1376
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:32,479
Speaker 1: but Cincinnati's offensive line is on the other side of

1377
01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:35,839
Speaker 1: the spectrum from the Steelers, and Connor should have success

1378
01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:37,920
Speaker 1: through the air here. Last season, the Seahawks allow the

1379
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:42,479
Speaker 1: sixth most receptions, third most receiving yards, and the most

1380
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:46,920
Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns to opposing running backs. James Connor can catch.

1381
01:13:47,200 --> 01:13:49,600
Speaker 1: So can Jalen Samuel, who you could be as a

1382
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:53,840
Speaker 1: dark horse potential dart throw you could start here as well. Um,

1383
01:13:53,920 --> 01:13:56,160
Speaker 1: And I'll mention this last week, Mixing and Bernard caught

1384
01:13:56,200 --> 01:13:58,800
Speaker 1: all five of their targets. James Connors a beast start

1385
01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:01,040
Speaker 1: in Parks. I think he's gonna chip in meaningful numbers

1386
01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:06,040
Speaker 1: through the air. Our final topics are ahead when we

1387
01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:09,639
Speaker 1: provide you with three guys we believe will be hot

1388
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:13,599
Speaker 1: waiver wire pickups next week, so you can grab them.

1389
01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:16,920
Speaker 1: This week, we're jumping in the time machine and how

1390
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:25,240
Speaker 1: does the time machine sound. You can blamo time machines,

1391
01:14:25,280 --> 01:14:28,080
Speaker 1: go blammo on this shell, whether you are ready for

1392
01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:32,080
Speaker 1: it or not. Premature Speculation is happening next on Fantasy

1393
01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:54,320
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. I think premature Speculation is the most popular

1394
01:14:54,400 --> 01:14:57,840
Speaker 1: segment on Fantasy Football Weekly. This is the bit where

1395
01:14:58,000 --> 01:14:59,760
Speaker 1: each of our host provides a player that will be

1396
01:14:59,840 --> 01:15:02,200
Speaker 1: a waiver wire pick up next week that you're going

1397
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:05,400
Speaker 1: to want to grab this week to frustrate the rest

1398
01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:07,200
Speaker 1: of your league because you already got all the good guys.

1399
01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:12,360
Speaker 1: For about ten minutes at the beginning of Sunday's games

1400
01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:15,559
Speaker 1: last week, I looked brilliant because I said, Dontrell Hilliard

1401
01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:20,680
Speaker 1: the Browns running, he scores a goal line rushing touchdowndown

1402
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:22,640
Speaker 1: and then immediately gets a concussion, gets He's gone for

1403
01:15:22,680 --> 01:15:25,080
Speaker 1: the game, and I'm like, oh, I had it for

1404
01:15:25,280 --> 01:15:28,560
Speaker 1: for ten minutes. I'm like, oh, brilliant. My premature speculation

1405
01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:32,080
Speaker 1: came in hard right off the bat man. Look, mine

1406
01:15:32,120 --> 01:15:33,640
Speaker 1: didn't work out last week. But we're not going to

1407
01:15:33,720 --> 01:15:36,200
Speaker 1: talk about what we'll tell what do we want to

1408
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:38,840
Speaker 1: talk about? Who is your premature speculation? I can't believe

1409
01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:43,759
Speaker 1: I'm doing this. It's Jason Witten. Yeah, Jason Witten scored

1410
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:46,639
Speaker 1: last week, although it was a quiet four targets, three catches,

1411
01:15:46,720 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 1: fifteen yards. This week he faces Washington, which is a

1412
01:15:50,200 --> 01:15:53,040
Speaker 1: neutralish matchup. But Witten did score the last time he

1413
01:15:53,120 --> 01:15:57,680
Speaker 1: faced them. But next week, which year was that? It

1414
01:15:57,800 --> 01:16:01,599
Speaker 1: was only one one year removed? Uh? Next week he's

1415
01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:05,839
Speaker 1: facing Miami in Dallas, and you want to start everybody

1416
01:16:05,880 --> 01:16:08,920
Speaker 1: against Miami the Dolphins on the road. Sign me up

1417
01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:11,479
Speaker 1: for that. The Dolphins gave up fourteen receptions for one

1418
01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:13,920
Speaker 1: seventy five to tight ends in Week one, and the

1419
01:16:14,040 --> 01:16:16,680
Speaker 1: only two good players on their roster, Xavian Howard and

1420
01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:20,000
Speaker 1: Minca Fitzpatrick. They're gonna be on the outsides covering Michael

1421
01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:22,800
Speaker 1: Gallup and Amari Cooper, leaving the middle of the field

1422
01:16:22,880 --> 01:16:25,040
Speaker 1: wide open for Witten. He's going to score in that

1423
01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:27,439
Speaker 1: Miami game. And if you need some tight end help,

1424
01:16:27,439 --> 01:16:30,120
Speaker 1: maybe Hunter Henry went down. Maybe O J. Howard sucks.

1425
01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:32,240
Speaker 1: Jason Witten is a guy that you can pick up.

1426
01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:34,559
Speaker 1: I think you'll be happy that you did, all right, Christian,

1427
01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:39,599
Speaker 1: your premature speculation player is I'm gonna go with Deonte Johnson,

1428
01:16:39,720 --> 01:16:43,160
Speaker 1: the rookie wide receiver for Pittsburgh. You we just talked

1429
01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:48,200
Speaker 1: about how awful Dante Moncrieff looked in week in week one.

1430
01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:49,560
Speaker 1: By the way, it would have been nice to know

1431
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:52,760
Speaker 1: that he's been battling a dislocated finger since early in

1432
01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:56,360
Speaker 1: training camp. I didn't see that news until he failed.

1433
01:16:56,680 --> 01:16:59,479
Speaker 1: He dropped seven of the targets from his way in

1434
01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:03,719
Speaker 1: week one. Meanwhile, James washing Washington I think has established

1435
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:06,639
Speaker 1: himself this point. It's just a deep threat and nothing more.

1436
01:17:06,760 --> 01:17:09,760
Speaker 1: And he's an inconsistent guy. So that leaves room for

1437
01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:13,240
Speaker 1: somebody to emerge opposite Juju Smith Schuster, and I think

1438
01:17:13,280 --> 01:17:17,960
Speaker 1: that somebody is Johnson, who is basically an Antonio Brown clone.

1439
01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:21,680
Speaker 1: Like literally they're the same height, the same weight, they have,

1440
01:17:21,760 --> 01:17:25,120
Speaker 1: the same reach, the same hand size, they both have

1441
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:29,800
Speaker 1: almost much almost identical. Forty times they both had their

1442
01:17:30,120 --> 01:17:34,240
Speaker 1: feet frost bitting in a cryotronic chamber. They were I mean,

1443
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:38,320
Speaker 1: the Steelers drafted this guy as Antonio Brown's replacement, and

1444
01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:40,880
Speaker 1: it sounds like I've had charged. Actually, you found an

1445
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:44,719
Speaker 1: article with some some quotes from the Steelers coaching staff

1446
01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:46,519
Speaker 1: that were like, yeah, we gotta get this guy more

1447
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:50,200
Speaker 1: involved and with Moncrief not impressing and James Washington kind

1448
01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:52,679
Speaker 1: of a bit player. I think that starts as early

1449
01:17:52,720 --> 01:17:54,880
Speaker 1: as this week. You're gonna see Deonte Johnson get more

1450
01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:57,960
Speaker 1: involved and being the receiver on the opposite side of

1451
01:17:58,040 --> 01:18:01,679
Speaker 1: Juju Smith. Schuster always a good u It was Isaac

1452
01:18:01,720 --> 01:18:04,920
Speaker 1: Newton who said, for every action, there is an equal

1453
01:18:05,040 --> 01:18:08,599
Speaker 1: and opposite reaction. See on the Steeler staff. You can't

1454
01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:11,400
Speaker 1: argue with the law of physics, my friends, it's against

1455
01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:13,439
Speaker 1: the law and argue with the law of physics. When

1456
01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:17,439
Speaker 1: Dante Pettis plays two snaps, there's an equal and opposite reaction.

1457
01:18:18,040 --> 01:18:23,120
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel playing sixty snaps in the game, leading the

1458
01:18:23,240 --> 01:18:26,160
Speaker 1: whole team by a wide margin. For the forty Niners.

1459
01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:29,439
Speaker 1: Every wide receiver who leads his team in play should

1460
01:18:29,479 --> 01:18:33,240
Speaker 1: be on a roster. Deebo Samuel un rostered in most leagues,

1461
01:18:33,760 --> 01:18:38,240
Speaker 1: especially if your coach is Kyle Shanahan, you must be rostered.

1462
01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:41,280
Speaker 1: Deebo caught all three of his targets last week. This

1463
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:45,000
Speaker 1: week he draws an aging fading Drake Kirkpatrick. He could

1464
01:18:45,040 --> 01:18:48,680
Speaker 1: post a night's game here, but you'll he'll already be

1465
01:18:49,040 --> 01:18:54,160
Speaker 1: on your roster because that's the law of physics, New

1466
01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:57,800
Speaker 1: Orleans takes on the Rams and an epic rematch from

1467
01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:01,519
Speaker 1: two different games last season, but actually the NFC Championship game.

1468
01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:04,759
Speaker 1: Matt tell us about it. Jared Goff gets an A grade.

1469
01:19:04,800 --> 01:19:07,080
Speaker 1: I told you about his negative road splits, especially in

1470
01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:09,840
Speaker 1: outdoor games. He did not disappoint well, wait, he did

1471
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:13,479
Speaker 1: disappoint fantasy owners. Disappointment didn't disappoint me because I knew

1472
01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:16,479
Speaker 1: it one eight, six, one and one last week. That

1473
01:19:16,680 --> 01:19:19,559
Speaker 1: last year at home, though, Goff enjoyed a twenty two

1474
01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:23,360
Speaker 1: to three touchdown interception ratio and three forty two passing

1475
01:19:23,439 --> 01:19:25,960
Speaker 1: yards per game, and the Saints gave up three passing

1476
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:29,519
Speaker 1: scores to Deshaun Watson last week. Robert Woods he's getting

1477
01:19:29,520 --> 01:19:31,840
Speaker 1: a be He led the team in targets with thirteen,

1478
01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:35,120
Speaker 1: only managed five catches for seventy one and six for

1479
01:19:35,240 --> 01:19:37,240
Speaker 1: thirty three and the two meetings last year, but he

1480
01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:40,679
Speaker 1: has had five catches in sixteen of his last nineteen starts.

1481
01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:43,479
Speaker 1: Might see a little bit of Marshawn Lattimore, although it

1482
01:19:43,560 --> 01:19:45,679
Speaker 1: looks like it will be a fairly good split between

1483
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:48,840
Speaker 1: him and Cooks, and Cooks gets an A grade. He's

1484
01:19:48,840 --> 01:19:52,240
Speaker 1: played two games as a Ram against the Saints and

1485
01:19:52,360 --> 01:19:55,679
Speaker 1: he's revenged them both times seven for one oh seven,

1486
01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:58,559
Speaker 1: six for one fourteen and one, and he wasn't utilized

1487
01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:00,880
Speaker 1: much last week. This is a get right spot for him.

1488
01:20:01,520 --> 01:20:04,120
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup I'm also giving an a grade looked healthy

1489
01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:08,080
Speaker 1: on field of the Snaps ten targets, logged five catches

1490
01:20:08,120 --> 01:20:10,439
Speaker 1: for eighty nine yards and to score when these teams

1491
01:20:10,520 --> 01:20:13,439
Speaker 1: met in the regular season last year. And he faces P. J.

1492
01:20:13,560 --> 01:20:16,320
Speaker 1: Williams in the slot. That's the worst rated cover corner

1493
01:20:16,800 --> 01:20:21,439
Speaker 1: for the Saints. Uh, Todd Gurley and Malcolm Brown. Malcolm

1494
01:20:21,439 --> 01:20:23,759
Speaker 1: Browns might take a chance on the runner. Todd Gurley,

1495
01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:26,880
Speaker 1: I'm giving a beat. Uh, the NFL leader in yards

1496
01:20:26,920 --> 01:20:30,080
Speaker 1: after contact. Well, he's number three right now. Todd Gurley

1497
01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:32,920
Speaker 1: five point two. And it's worth noting that the Rams

1498
01:20:33,080 --> 01:20:36,200
Speaker 1: offensive line was the second worst run blocking unit in

1499
01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:39,719
Speaker 1: Week one, Hence the early contact on the runners. Gurley

1500
01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:43,960
Speaker 1: and Malcolm Brown were making things happen despite the offensive line. Um,

1501
01:20:44,240 --> 01:20:47,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna try to keep touches off Gurley though, which

1502
01:20:47,200 --> 01:20:49,160
Speaker 1: you don't want to see. But the Saints gave up

1503
01:20:49,200 --> 01:20:52,160
Speaker 1: eight point three yards per carried a Carlos hide last week.

1504
01:20:52,439 --> 01:20:54,560
Speaker 1: And a healthy Carlos Hide is the same as a

1505
01:20:54,640 --> 01:20:58,000
Speaker 1: part time Todd Gurley with the last year. I believe

1506
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:01,080
Speaker 1: we're three point two yards per ca re on the season. Yeah,

1507
01:21:01,160 --> 01:21:05,160
Speaker 1: that's it, and they just got steamrolled by Carlos freaking Hide.

1508
01:21:05,880 --> 01:21:09,800
Speaker 1: Come on, the elusive Carlos freeing high suddenly elusive. Yes,

1509
01:21:10,120 --> 01:21:13,840
Speaker 1: we're not chasing Tyler Higbee's touchdown either. Alvin Kamara gets

1510
01:21:13,880 --> 01:21:17,040
Speaker 1: an A grade. How did uh Christian McCaffrey fair against

1511
01:21:17,080 --> 01:21:19,880
Speaker 1: the Rams defense last week? It was pretty good. Michael

1512
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:22,840
Speaker 1: Thomas gets an A grade twelve for two, eleven and

1513
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:25,920
Speaker 1: one in the regular season matchup last year, but only

1514
01:21:26,040 --> 01:21:28,400
Speaker 1: four for thirty six in the playoffs. I'm not worried.

1515
01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:31,479
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas is great. Drew Brees B grade. We know

1516
01:21:31,560 --> 01:21:34,840
Speaker 1: about his negative road splits. Yards per tempt went from

1517
01:21:34,920 --> 01:21:37,040
Speaker 1: nine and a half in New Orleans to six point

1518
01:21:37,200 --> 01:21:39,519
Speaker 1: nine on the road, so he only gets the B

1519
01:21:39,680 --> 01:21:42,000
Speaker 1: grade here. But it is a shootout potential game, so

1520
01:21:42,240 --> 01:21:44,720
Speaker 1: you still gotta like Breeze a little bit. Jared Cook

1521
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:47,320
Speaker 1: gets a C grade. Only three targets, two catches in

1522
01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:50,200
Speaker 1: thirty seven yards. That was a bummer. The Rams were

1523
01:21:50,240 --> 01:21:52,639
Speaker 1: one of eight teams to allow over a thousand yards

1524
01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:54,720
Speaker 1: to the tight end last year, and I'm hoping that

1525
01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:56,639
Speaker 1: was just a weird game off and not the trend

1526
01:21:56,680 --> 01:21:59,920
Speaker 1: of the Saints not using the tight end position anymore. Finally,

1527
01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:01,880
Speaker 1: Ted Gain in tray Kwon Smith, I'm giving both of

1528
01:22:01,920 --> 01:22:04,960
Speaker 1: them a sea. Smith ran six of his routes out

1529
01:22:05,040 --> 01:22:06,800
Speaker 1: of the slot last week, which would mean he'd draw

1530
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:10,360
Speaker 1: the most favorable match up against Nickel Robie Coleman. But

1531
01:22:10,439 --> 01:22:12,760
Speaker 1: the Saints move their wide receivers around more than just

1532
01:22:12,840 --> 01:22:16,160
Speaker 1: about any team, so in a shootout potential game, Tedgain

1533
01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:18,680
Speaker 1: looked good. Had over a hundred yards last week. I

1534
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:20,840
Speaker 1: think he's a good point. Let's go to Cleveland taking

1535
01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:24,200
Speaker 1: on the Jets. Christian Yeah, let's is the Monday nighter.

1536
01:22:24,360 --> 01:22:26,320
Speaker 1: This is the Monday night er. Let's let's see if

1537
01:22:26,360 --> 01:22:29,759
Speaker 1: Cleveland can have a bounce back after an ugly, ugly

1538
01:22:29,920 --> 01:22:34,160
Speaker 1: Week one performance by Baker Mayfield three interceptions. They did

1539
01:22:34,200 --> 01:22:36,839
Speaker 1: not look like the high powered offense everybody was expecting

1540
01:22:36,920 --> 01:22:39,880
Speaker 1: coming into the year. But there's a chance here against

1541
01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:41,840
Speaker 1: the Jets. The Jets were bottom ten last year in

1542
01:22:41,960 --> 01:22:45,080
Speaker 1: QB yards and touchdowns allowed, and they just let Josh

1543
01:22:45,360 --> 01:22:47,560
Speaker 1: Josh Allen throw for a career high two hundred and

1544
01:22:47,640 --> 01:22:50,599
Speaker 1: fifty four yards in Week one. So I've got Baker

1545
01:22:50,680 --> 01:22:52,519
Speaker 1: Mayfield in a bounce back here. I gave him a

1546
01:22:52,600 --> 01:22:56,960
Speaker 1: B level starting grade. Odell Beckham Jr. Was highly involved,

1547
01:22:57,080 --> 01:22:59,880
Speaker 1: led the team with the leven targets. He's going to

1548
01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:02,439
Speaker 1: go nuts against the Jet secondary. That let the Bills.

1549
01:23:02,479 --> 01:23:04,599
Speaker 1: John Brown go for a hundred and twenty three yards

1550
01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:07,200
Speaker 1: and a touchdown last week. A grade on Odell Beckham

1551
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:12,000
Speaker 1: homecoming game of sorts to his old home field. That's

1552
01:23:12,040 --> 01:23:13,679
Speaker 1: a good point. That's a little bit of a reach,

1553
01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:18,080
Speaker 1: just a little same stadium. Jarvis Landry, I've got a

1554
01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:21,080
Speaker 1: B level starting grade on. He had four receptions for

1555
01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:24,759
Speaker 1: sixty seven yards on seven targets in the Week one matchup.

1556
01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:28,240
Speaker 1: And the slot is is something you can exploit against

1557
01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:31,920
Speaker 1: the Jets. Slot corner Brian Poole was Pro Football focused

1558
01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:35,479
Speaker 1: one hundred hundred and twelve ranked cornerback last year, So

1559
01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:38,880
Speaker 1: I like Jarvis Landry to bounch back as well. David

1560
01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:41,320
Speaker 1: and Joko was pretty much the only guy who did

1561
01:23:41,360 --> 01:23:44,479
Speaker 1: anything last week. Scored a touchdown. The Jets were very

1562
01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:47,920
Speaker 1: good against opposing tight ends last year, though I would

1563
01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:50,240
Speaker 1: start him if you usually would. I gave him a

1564
01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:54,559
Speaker 1: B level starting grade here. Nick Chubb, I've got an

1565
01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:57,840
Speaker 1: A grade on He was quiet in week one, but

1566
01:23:57,920 --> 01:24:01,479
Speaker 1: I think the game script here with Sam Donald out

1567
01:24:01,560 --> 01:24:03,240
Speaker 1: for the Jets. On the other side, I think the

1568
01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:05,080
Speaker 1: Browns are gonna be ahead in this game. They're gonna

1569
01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:08,439
Speaker 1: be grinding the clock. The Jets are also potentially missing

1570
01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:13,240
Speaker 1: key defenders Quinny Quinnin Williams and C. J. Mosley. Mosley

1571
01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:16,120
Speaker 1: last week after he got hurt, their defense fell apart.

1572
01:24:16,240 --> 01:24:18,760
Speaker 1: So if he doesn't play, there's especially a good chance

1573
01:24:18,840 --> 01:24:20,880
Speaker 1: that Chub is gonna go bonkers here. I've got an

1574
01:24:20,920 --> 01:24:23,200
Speaker 1: A grade on him. On the Jet side, we really

1575
01:24:23,200 --> 01:24:25,280
Speaker 1: already talked about the passing game. We said you should

1576
01:24:25,320 --> 01:24:30,040
Speaker 1: literally drop them all, everybody, every Jet passing player, everybody

1577
01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:32,240
Speaker 1: but Leavy on Bell basically, so needless to say, don't

1578
01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:33,760
Speaker 1: start any of them this week because they're not on

1579
01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:36,600
Speaker 1: your roster. Levian Bell, I've got to be great on

1580
01:24:36,720 --> 01:24:39,920
Speaker 1: him just because of the somewhat scary shoulder injury. He

1581
01:24:40,200 --> 01:24:43,040
Speaker 1: he missed practice on Thursday, had to get an m R.

1582
01:24:43,080 --> 01:24:45,880
Speaker 1: I He's gonna practice Saturday. It sounds like he's gonna

1583
01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:49,519
Speaker 1: play Monday. Cleveland had a bottom ten run defense last year.

1584
01:24:49,840 --> 01:24:52,120
Speaker 1: They were just roasted by Derrick Henry for a hundred

1585
01:24:52,120 --> 01:24:55,000
Speaker 1: and fifty nine combined rushing and receiving yards and two touchdowns.

1586
01:24:55,439 --> 01:24:57,560
Speaker 1: B level start on Levan Bell. All right, let's go

1587
01:24:57,640 --> 01:24:59,679
Speaker 1: to the Eagles taking on the Falcons for our final

1588
01:24:59,760 --> 01:25:01,800
Speaker 1: match up of the show, that is the Sunday night game.

1589
01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:04,400
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz gets an A grade here even though the

1590
01:25:04,479 --> 01:25:07,920
Speaker 1: Vikings didn't test the Falcon secondary at all, the Eagles will,

1591
01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:11,759
Speaker 1: and I like the matchup for the Eagles receivers. Cornerback

1592
01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:14,640
Speaker 1: Isaiah Oliver is a serious liability for the Falcons and

1593
01:25:14,800 --> 01:25:17,960
Speaker 1: he was exploited by the Vikings last week. Desmond Travant

1594
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:20,519
Speaker 1: Trufont has speed, but he only plays one side of

1595
01:25:20,520 --> 01:25:22,960
Speaker 1: the field, so the Eagles can scheme to Shawn Jackson

1596
01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:26,280
Speaker 1: to go against Oliver, and so Deshan Jackson after the

1597
01:25:26,400 --> 01:25:29,080
Speaker 1: explosive game in week one, gets a B grade and

1598
01:25:29,160 --> 01:25:31,120
Speaker 1: week two because I do believe he's going to have

1599
01:25:31,200 --> 01:25:34,120
Speaker 1: that speed advantage over slot, especially if he goes out

1600
01:25:34,120 --> 01:25:36,479
Speaker 1: of the slot where it will beat demonte Kazi as

1601
01:25:36,560 --> 01:25:39,200
Speaker 1: well as a converted safety. So I think Jackson can

1602
01:25:39,280 --> 01:25:40,800
Speaker 1: win from a few places, and I like him a

1603
01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:43,280
Speaker 1: lot here all Shan Jeffrey at a nice game last week.

1604
01:25:43,560 --> 01:25:46,280
Speaker 1: He can avoid cornerback Desmond Truffont by lining up on

1605
01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:47,800
Speaker 1: the other side of the field if he wants to,

1606
01:25:48,040 --> 01:25:49,840
Speaker 1: but he might not want to because he can just

1607
01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:51,680
Speaker 1: out muscle Trufont if he wants. So I think he

1608
01:25:51,720 --> 01:25:53,720
Speaker 1: can win from both sides of the field too, So

1609
01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:56,479
Speaker 1: be great and all Sean Jeffrey here, and staying with

1610
01:25:56,600 --> 01:26:00,200
Speaker 1: the passing game, Zach Ertz a grade second on the

1611
01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:03,760
Speaker 1: team and targets receptions and yards. Last week, Vikings didn't

1612
01:26:03,800 --> 01:26:05,800
Speaker 1: even try it, didn't even throw. They threw one pass

1613
01:26:05,880 --> 01:26:07,160
Speaker 1: that was called back to a tight end. They even

1614
01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:10,439
Speaker 1: try the tight end Urts though targeted ten times when

1615
01:26:10,479 --> 01:26:13,000
Speaker 1: these teams met last year. He will be just fine.

1616
01:26:13,479 --> 01:26:17,519
Speaker 1: All three of the running backs startable here with C grades.

1617
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:21,200
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders is the most interesting one. He had a

1618
01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:26,479
Speaker 1: nineteen yard run, but his other ten carries gained six yards.

1619
01:26:27,200 --> 01:26:30,160
Speaker 1: I'm worried that the coaching staff is gonna give him

1620
01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:33,360
Speaker 1: a lesser role here, and that makes Jordan Howard startable

1621
01:26:33,720 --> 01:26:36,479
Speaker 1: because this is a bad off A defense against the

1622
01:26:36,560 --> 01:26:38,760
Speaker 1: run that gave up over five yards per carry to

1623
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:40,599
Speaker 1: the Vikings last week, and the Eagles have a better

1624
01:26:40,680 --> 01:26:43,320
Speaker 1: offensive line by a lot. So even Jordan Howard gets

1625
01:26:43,360 --> 01:26:45,640
Speaker 1: a C grade and Darren Sprowles was might take a

1626
01:26:45,760 --> 01:26:48,439
Speaker 1: chance on me runner. Let's go to the Falcon side.

1627
01:26:50,200 --> 01:26:52,840
Speaker 1: Beginning with the running game. Devanta Freeman gets a seat.

1628
01:26:53,080 --> 01:26:56,479
Speaker 1: The Falcons lost guard Chris Lindstrom for first rounder. That

1629
01:26:56,640 --> 01:26:59,599
Speaker 1: is a big loss. The Eagles countered that by losing

1630
01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:02,720
Speaker 1: their own offensive tackle, Malik Jackson, so maybe those two

1631
01:27:02,760 --> 01:27:05,720
Speaker 1: things neutralize each other. But make no mistake here, the

1632
01:27:05,840 --> 01:27:09,160
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage belongs to the Eagles, and Atlanta's line

1633
01:27:09,240 --> 01:27:12,360
Speaker 1: was brutal last week. Eagles have been extremely rough on

1634
01:27:12,439 --> 01:27:15,799
Speaker 1: runners over the past four games, allowing less than twenty

1635
01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:18,200
Speaker 1: eight rushing yards per game. That worries me, and that's

1636
01:27:18,200 --> 01:27:20,719
Speaker 1: why we're down to a C grade on DeVonta Freeman.

1637
01:27:20,880 --> 01:27:23,600
Speaker 1: Let's moved to the passing game. Matt Ryan gets a B.

1638
01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:26,639
Speaker 1: I am worried about the offensive line. As I mentioned

1639
01:27:26,680 --> 01:27:29,439
Speaker 1: Kris Lands from out, Ryan's gonna be harried by an

1640
01:27:29,479 --> 01:27:33,400
Speaker 1: excellent front four anchored by Brandon Graham and Fletcher Cox,

1641
01:27:34,400 --> 01:27:37,360
Speaker 1: and he's faced the Eagles in three straight SKI seasons

1642
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:39,960
Speaker 1: and the results are discouraging, just with per game averages

1643
01:27:40,000 --> 01:27:43,080
Speaker 1: of just two two yards and zero point seven passing

1644
01:27:43,160 --> 01:27:46,679
Speaker 1: touchdowns for Matt Ryan. So it's barely a C grade,

1645
01:27:46,720 --> 01:27:49,360
Speaker 1: and really only because Julio Jones, who's got a B grade,

1646
01:27:49,640 --> 01:27:52,519
Speaker 1: matches up against Ronald Darby who just got worked by

1647
01:27:52,600 --> 01:27:56,120
Speaker 1: Redskins rookie Terry McLaurin for a hundred twenty five yards

1648
01:27:56,280 --> 01:28:01,519
Speaker 1: and Mary mc mary Jones has a height size advantage

1649
01:28:01,560 --> 01:28:03,760
Speaker 1: of four inches and thirty pounds over Darby, so I

1650
01:28:03,880 --> 01:28:06,840
Speaker 1: like Julio in this game too. And then Calvin Ridley

1651
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:11,799
Speaker 1: Falcons can get Ridley on lead footed cornerback Resul Douglas

1652
01:28:11,920 --> 01:28:13,519
Speaker 1: at will by putting him on the right side of

1653
01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:16,120
Speaker 1: the field, and that's a positive matchup. So I like

1654
01:28:16,280 --> 01:28:18,679
Speaker 1: the receivers. I just gotta hope Matt Ryan stays upright

1655
01:28:18,800 --> 01:28:22,639
Speaker 1: long enough. And finally a C grade on Austin Hooper

1656
01:28:23,080 --> 01:28:26,160
Speaker 1: silent in last year's meeting between these two um and

1657
01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:29,040
Speaker 1: the Eagles were outstanding against tight ends last year, so

1658
01:28:29,080 --> 01:28:30,760
Speaker 1: I'm a little bit nervous even though we had a

1659
01:28:30,840 --> 01:28:35,479
Speaker 1: good game last season, and it's start thirteen players from

1660
01:28:35,520 --> 01:28:39,200
Speaker 1: this matchup. It's it is crazy. Um guys, we've had
