It is time for 0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:22.919 America's longest running fantasy show, Fantasy Football Weekly and I 0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:26.200 Heart Radio production. I am your host, Paul Charging from 0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:29.360 fanball dot com and Coast Today, Christian Peterson and Matt 0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:33.760 Harrison also fanball dot Com. Hello, guys, good day Church. 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:36.440 Over the course. Now you're gonna go good day mate. 0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:39.200 For a minute, I wish you had an opportunity loss 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:42.160 next time, get it right. Over the course of today, 0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:45.440 we'll break down every game fantasy styles. Always we don't 0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:48.720 care about which team is gonna win other than your team. 0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:50.559 So we'll tell you how all the players are going 0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:53.280 to do in these games. Yeah, give you a rationale 0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:54.680 for why we feel that way. You can see if 0:00:54.720 --> 0:00:57.040 you agree or disagree and go with us or against us. 0:00:57.040 --> 0:00:59.280 We'll answer three tough questions. We'll give you nine players 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:01.520 upon whom you can take a chance, and we'll dump 0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:04.120 and jump into our time machine for the future and 0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:06.720 identify the players that everybody's going to be trying to 0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:09.640 pick up next week, but blamo, they're already on your 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:12.880 team because you picked him up this week. That is 0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:15.679 a bit we call premature speculation. Time travel as a 0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:19.160 new wrinkle for us. It is, um, welcome to flex 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:22.440 capacitor is flexing, Yeah, and it makes the sound blamo. 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:25.680 That's that's that's what the time machine goes, Yes, blamo. 0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:30.280 The cow goes move at the time machine goes blamo. Uh. 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:33.240 Let's um, I want to dive into some matchups here, 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:35.280 and we're gonna sprinkle in some reaction to Thursday night's 0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:37.600 game as well, and what to do about guys like 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:40.199 Cam Newton and O. J. Howard and some others throughout 0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:42.560 the show as well. But let's let's go right into 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:46.120 some of the matchups fantasy style, beginning with Jacksonville and Houston. 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:51.280 Gardner Mayhew at the helm of the Jacksonville Jaguars. I 0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:55.160 once got a case of Gardner Mayhew from an Indonesian bathhouse. Well, 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:59.800 you should get Gardner Minshew instead than Mayhew Mayhew. But 0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:02.160 I gonna talk about him in a later segment because 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:04.160 he might be to take a chance on me kind 0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:10.480 of quarterback. Uh. As for the rest of the uh 0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:13.120 Leonard four Nett's getting an A grade, played six percent 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:15.400 of the snaps in Week one, had seventeen of the 0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:19.000 jags eighteen running back touches in The Houston run defense 0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.600 was the worst rated in Week one by Pro Football Focus, 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:26.079 allowing seven point three yards per carry. A grade. They're 0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:27.640 gonna try to keep the ball out of the hands 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:33.120 of their quarterback. Maybe maybe, I think so, I don't know. 0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.040 D D Westbrook gets a B grade for me. Minshew 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:39.440 targeted the slot a ton last year at Washington State, 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:43.160 and that's d D spot. Texans slot cornerback Aaron Colvin 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:46.600 did so well last week hundred and seventeen yards against 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:49.680 and then they cut They cut them out right, which 0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:52.640 means they're starting Philip Gaines against Westbrook and I like 0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.880 those odds. The rest of the Jags, Chris Conley and 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.480 DJ Chark there on the bench. It's not a revenge 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.880 game for Chris Conley, so I'm not really interested in it. 0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:03.520 And Marquise Lee might end up going in this game, 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.640 which would sap targets from both Conley and Chark. Chark 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:08.720 was only targeted two times last week, so he's not 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:12.120 worth it. And by the way I called it. Chris 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:16.880 Conley touchdown on this show last Where's Where's a bird sound? 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:20.359 That we listen? You know we're not going to stop 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:22.840 the show every time we got something right. Yes we are, 0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:26.800 We're wrong when you can call it your Chris calmly 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:32.399 shot that deserves the peacock right there. We've got two 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.280 hours and there might be a lot of peacocks in 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:37.200 this one. Uh. DeAndre Hopkins gets an A grade. He's 0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:38.880 scored or top two hundred yards in each of his 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.360 last four meetings with Jalen Ramsey, so I'm not worried 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:44.920 about him. Deshaun Watson's getting a B. I'm only nervous 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:47.320 and he's only getting downgraded a little bit because he 0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.600 was sacked six times last week, right back to where 0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:53.200 we were last year. He took eleven other hits, was 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:54.920 dinged up for most of the game in and out 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:57.520 of the blue tent. That's not good. Still. The Chiefs 0:03:57.520 --> 0:03:59.840 lit up this defense last week, and Watson isn't much 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:01.840 of a stepped down from Patrick Mahomes, so he gets 0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.360 the beat. Will Fuller gets a sea. Fuller was on 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.120 the field for of the snaps, but he only saw 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:11.040 three targets, so I think that some positive regression needs 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:15.040 to come there. Kick Cutie might play but might not. 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.359 That means both him and Kenny Stills are on your bench. 0:04:18.720 --> 0:04:20.680 And then Carlos Hide and Duke Johnson. I gave both 0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:22.560 of them a C grade. Both are kind of viable 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.400 here in a sneaky way. Hide to his second in 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:29.000 the league and yards after contact per attempt at six 0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:33.440 point three, and he has Pro Football Focus his highest 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:37.680 elusive rating after week one. Carlo Carlos Hide, you know, 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:39.760 you know what else is gonna be elusive? Him staying 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:42.719 on top of that list is gonna be elusive. Duke 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:46.080 was targeted the second most last week of all Houston receivers, 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.320 and the Jags gave up nine receptions to the Kansas 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:50.280 City running backs last week, so Duke's in a good 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:54.400 spot too. Arizona takes on Baltimore Christian Kyler Murray with 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:57.640 the fantastic second half of last week's game, but a 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:02.320 much tougher matchup in Baltimore the time around. Yeah. Absolutely, 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:05.359 although there may be some garbage time stats to be 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:07.440 had in this one, just like there, Well, it was 0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:10.799 sort of garbage time last week for Kyler Murray until 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:13.400 he brought them all the way. Yeah, that's right from 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.680 it somehow from from garbage to treasure were I was 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:20.159 working on Twitter on the name. Is it merbage time 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:23.200 or Kyle arbage time. I don't know if either one 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:27.600 of those work. I think you're gonna have to just shopping. 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:32.600 Come on, keep working, keep shopping. Uh. Yeah, Murray had 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:35.039 that over over three passing yards last week and needed 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.920 fifty four passing attempts and and overtime to get there. 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:40.800 But it was interesting to see this offense get unveiled 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.600 for the first time. They ran four wide receivers seventy 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:47.800 three percent of the time, so an interesting wrinkle there. 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:50.200 But this time, like you mentioned charts, it's gonna be 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:52.320 a lot tougher against the Ravens. They were top five 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:54.840 against the past last year. They gave up just a 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:57.400 hundred and ninety yards and one touchdown through the air 0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:00.960 in their Week one win over Miami. Granted that was 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:04.640 Miami and it was also garbage time too. Yeah, so 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:07.360 I've got Murray on a C grade here, and it's 0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:11.400 purely because with the Ravens favored by almost two touchdowns 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:15.400 in this game, I think there's going to be garbage time. No, 0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:25.960 come on, mur Murby m okay, let's move on to 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:29.200 the wide receivers. Christian Kirk and Larry Fitzgerald are really 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:32.119 the only two we need to discuss here. Interestingly, both 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:34.159 of them are playing out of the slot most of 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:36.800 the time. With four wide receivers, they have two guys 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:38.960 on the outside and two on the inside. They were 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:43.200 both targeted heavily. Kirk targeted twelve times by Murray last week, 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:46.719 caught just four of them for thirty two yards. But terrible. 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.320 It is terrible, but it's a good sign that they're 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:52.520 using them that much. Baltimore did lose their starting slot 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.159 corner to injury after Week one. They also could be 0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:58.960 without Jimmy Smith, another of their cornerbacks, so there could 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:02.000 be some some that's to be had here. For Christian Kirk, 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:05.560 I gave him a B B minus ish starting grade. 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:09.880 We don't do minuses. How this is we are. We 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:13.960 are firmly on whole grades around here. I go away 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:15.720 for a couple of years, come back all of a sudden, 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:21.000 we're not doing minus. What about pluses? No, there's no pluses, 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:25.880 and Fantasy football call it what it is. A B 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:27.960 or I'm gonna call it as see that. If you're 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:31.680 gonna put a gun too, how about Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald gets 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:33.600 to see too, just to spite you guys, because I 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:36.480 would have given him a B minus. But he was 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.960 targeted thirteen times last week, eight catches over a hundred yards. 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:42.760 But this is a tough matchup. Only three wide receivers 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:46.560 top two hundred yards versus the Ravens in all of eighteen, 0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:50.040 so I don't know that he needs the volume here. 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:52.440 Fitzgerald and Kirk both need the volume. I don't think 0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:54.840 they're each going to see double digit targets, but I'm 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:57.040 willing to give him another chance. With just c grades. 0:07:57.120 --> 0:08:01.280 Fitzgerald sees Brandon Carr. Probably I didn't give up a touchdown, 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.680 not one last A tough matchup. Yeah, I would play 0:08:04.720 --> 0:08:07.440 Kirk over Fitzgerald if for some reason you saw fit 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.920 to roster both of them. Nothing to see here with 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:13.480 Keyshawn Johnson quite yet. He did have ten targets, but 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:15.760 that was in garbage time and nothing to see what 0:08:15.800 --> 0:08:17.600 the tight ends, who aren't really even on the field 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:21.760 in this offense on the Raven side, obviously, Lamar Jackson 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:25.400 is an a grade after that ridiculous debut in Week 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:28.440 one where he was really effective through the air and 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:31.160 really didn't even bother to run the ball, which is 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:35.600 part of his fantasy appeal. So um, it's a massive 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:38.120 upside here in week two again, you could argue he 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.360 should be the number one quarterback. Charge I don't know 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.840 where's my number two behind only Tom Brady and that's 0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:46.000 so that's that's where I've got it. Yeah, the Cardinals 0:08:46.040 --> 0:08:48.800 just gave up Matthew Stafford's best passing game in almost 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:52.559 two years, so a great spot for Jackson again here 0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:57.040 his wide receivers, however, a little iffy um markis Brown 0:08:57.120 --> 0:08:59.920 had the huge couple of touchdowns last week, but was 0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:04.679 only targeted five times and only played fourteen snaps. Unbelievable. 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:07.680 But that's a mandate for more snaps. I mean he will, 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.600 you know, it'll at least double. I mean he's Scott 0:09:10.600 --> 0:09:12.440 to be sitting on twenty five snaps this week? Do 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.120 you would think so? But Jackson only through to the 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:18.280 wide receivers a combined total of ten times in week one, 0:09:18.320 --> 0:09:20.760 so I'm a little worried about the volume here. Marc's 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.079 Brown is a boomer bus play but you got to 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:24.880 get him in there. I gave him a B grade. 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:28.160 Miles Boykin just one target in one catching week in 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:30.360 Week one. He may be relevant down the road, but 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.640 not quite yet. So he is on the bench Mark 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.760 Andrews and A grade here eight catches for a hundred 0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:38.760 and eight yards and a touchdown. Jackson targeted his tight 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:42.959 ends fifteen times. The Cardinals just let Detroit rookie t J. 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.439 Hockenson go off for a hundred and thirty yards in 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:48.719 a touchdown. So elite level start for Mark Andrews. The 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:51.760 running game. Mark Ingram also an elite level A start 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:55.000 hundred seven yards and two touchdowns last week despite barely 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:57.960 even playing. Would you give him an US No, I 0:09:58.000 --> 0:10:01.280 don't do that. You should know that about I don't 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.280 into that. I would never do that. We are about 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:07.880 whole grades here. Cardinals last year were easily the worst 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.160 run defense in the NFL. They gave up league highs 0:10:10.160 --> 0:10:13.000 and rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. Mark Ingram is an 0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.840 obvious that you can even bring Gus Edwards into play here. 0:10:16.240 --> 0:10:19.600 Maybe he had more carries than Ingram last week. Yeah, 0:10:19.920 --> 0:10:22.120 that was in a lot of garbage time. But I 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:23.920 think they're gonna be up again in the second half. 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:27.640 So Gus Edwards, let's give him a desperation C grade. Yeah, 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:31.080 um for those that took the shot on Justice Hill 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:33.080 right now, he's on the wrong side of that deal. 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:35.319 And it looks like Gus Edwards is available in like 0:10:37.160 --> 0:10:40.280 every rookie running back outside of Josh Jacob, So practically, 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:43.160 isn't it. Devin Singletary, they you know, they all got 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:45.000 they all got back, Bernard. You're just gonna have to 0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:46.800 have patience on them. Most of them I think are 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:50.640 in good spots. Although Devin Singletary maybe playable today we'll 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:54.040 find out, like Dallas takes on Washington, and you know, 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.280 for the most part, this won't take long because it's 0:10:56.280 --> 0:10:59.920 basically start all your cowboys and bench all your red skin. 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:02.960 But we'll dive in just a little bit here. If 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:06.880 you're not treating dak Press Prescott like a fantasy superstar, 0:11:07.040 --> 0:11:09.240 you don't get it right now. In the past four games, 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:11.680 he's blown out the Giants twice, he's won a playoff 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:14.160 game and scored multiple touchdowns, and every one of those 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:17.840 four games Michael Gallup turning into a superstar. Amari Cooper 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:21.920 already is one. The Redskins corners not nearly up to 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:25.400 the task of stopping those two guys. And you look 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:28.720 at what happened last week to the Redskins corners, Deshan 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:33.000 Jackson all Sean Jeffrey just humbling them. Last year, Dak 0:11:33.000 --> 0:11:35.400 posted two good, not great games against Washington. I think 0:11:35.400 --> 0:11:37.760 they're up to great levels here. He is an A grade. 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:40.680 Zeke is obviously in A grade. It goes without saying, 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:44.720 particularly with defensive tackle Jonathan Allen knocked out for this game. 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.559 I think he's gonna gonna bounce back from last week's 0:11:47.559 --> 0:11:49.920 middling performance with a much better game here as well. 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:53.120 Love Amari Cooper obvious A grade for him as well. 0:11:53.559 --> 0:12:00.920 Since arriving in Dallas, he's been targeted per game game. Yes, 0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:04.280 the Redskins secondary got torched for three scores last week. 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:07.800 He's an A grade. Michael Gallop is He's is almost 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:09.520 an A grade, but we're gonna call him a firm 0:12:09.559 --> 0:12:13.040 B for Michael Gallop. He's almost like we need some 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:16.840 sort of designation in between A and no. We go. 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:20.640 He has actually had more receptions and yards than Cooper, 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:24.080 but over the last two games this week, one of 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:26.719 this year than going back to the last game last year. 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.720 Um he more often runs from the left, where where 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:34.120 Gallop will match up with cornerback Quintin Dunbar. Dunbar's got 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:36.800 the hayte and what height and weight or hate and 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:40.800 white to hang with Gallop, but does not have the 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:44.720 skill set and last year Gallop posted eighty one yards 0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:47.839 and a touchdown in the one game he played against them. 0:12:48.000 --> 0:12:50.040 Tony Pologist now on the bench for the Redskins. The 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:53.760 only startable players here case Keenum. It's mostly garbage time here. 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:57.480 Don't chase last week's box score on Keenum. Obviously maybe 0:12:57.480 --> 0:12:59.640 in a pinch. Dallas has allowed three hundred more passing 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:01.760 yards in three straight games going back to last year. 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:05.240 And watch the status of elite cornerback Byron Byron Jones. 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:08.680 If Jones does go, then we're just gonna bench Keena 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:10.640 out right. If Jones is out then I think Keena 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:13.240 becomes a dart throw here. You could try Trey Quinn, 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:16.319 who scored last week in garbage time, but another dart 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:17.880 throw at best with him. A lot of people picked 0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:26.440 up Terry McLaurin. Terry McLaren, uh, the uh tough matchup 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:30.120 though this week against Shadobiawoozy, the cornerback was very good. 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:32.680 And then again, if Byron Jones comes back, he'd have 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:35.240 to contend with him as well. Adrian Peterson, you're starting 0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:37.760 running back and it will not matter that team cannot 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:43.480 run the ball.

Coming up 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:15.360 NeXT's It's a bit we like to call take a 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:19.040 chance on me. Nine players who you would not normally start, 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:22.920 but you can. This week, you're listening to Fantasy Football 0:14:22.920 --> 0:14:44.440 Weekly and I Heart Radio production Fantasy Football Weekly Returns 0:14:44.480 --> 0:14:47.640 courtesy of I Heart Radio, Puliciarchi and Matt Harrison and 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:52.560 Christian Peterson with you. This segment is called Take a 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:54.880 chance on me. Nine players not normally in your starting 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.000 line up, many of whom are available on the waiver wire. 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.480 And this is a very special royalty free version of 0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:03.800 take its ants on Me. With these three sleeper quarterbacks 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:06.440 running back to receivers when they hit pay dirt, you 0:15:06.480 --> 0:15:11.400 pay us nothing. This is a royalty free segment, just 0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:14.080 the same amount that we pay for this song. Nothing 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:20.040 in a very legally binding way, absolutely positively nothing for 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:23.840 this particular song of take a chance on Me. Guys 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:26.120 will start at the quarterback position. Who do you have, Christian? 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:29.960 I have Derek Carr this week going up against the Chiefs. 0:15:30.360 --> 0:15:33.280 What happens in Chiefs games is that they put up 0:15:33.280 --> 0:15:35.920 all sorts of points early on and the other team 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:38.360 is forced to play catch up, or at least attempt to. 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:40.920 And what happens is the other team usually puts up 0:15:40.920 --> 0:15:42.800 big stats as well. Last year, the Chiefs were a 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:46.400 bottom five pass defense. They allowed the most passing yards 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:49.720 to a poison quarterbacks, nearly two touchdown passes per game, 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:52.640 and Derek Carr is no exception. In his last two 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:55.520 home games against the Chiefs, twinter and eighty five yards 0:15:55.560 --> 0:16:00.400 and three touchdowns followed by four seventeen yards and three touchdowns. 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:02.840 He's coming off in efficient Week one performance where he 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:05.840 was only asked to throw the ball twenty six times, 0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:08.040 but he's gonna have to throw the ball a lot 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:09.960 more in this one. And I like his chances of 0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:11.920 putting up big numbers while trying to keep pace with 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:16.560 the Chiefs. One might call that carbage time carbas very man, 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:20.920 after which that term was called originally invented. Yes, all right, Matt, 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:23.560 who's your take chance of the quarterback? I've got Gardner 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:29.320 Minshew the Mississippi Mustache fan Ball this week. By the way, 0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:31.880 he's a sixth round rookie. He takes over for the 0:16:31.880 --> 0:16:35.840 injured Nick Foles. Minshew was credited by Pro Football Focus 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:40.560 with a one percent adjusted completion percentage, which means that 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:43.920 percent of the balls he threw we're on target. How 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:46.520 about that? Uh? He faces a Houston team that just 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:50.000 got pasted by Drew Brees last week for seventy yards. 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.760 Six of the last seven quarterbacks who have faced the 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:55.920 Texans have topped either three hundred yards or thrown from 0:16:55.960 --> 0:17:00.000 multiple scores, with five of those accomplishing both of those feats. 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:03.440 Gardner Minshew, all Right, Gardner minshew. I thought he was 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:07.959 the Indonesian Indian or something. No, No, he's the Mississippi mustache. Okay, 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:12.520 Josh Allen goes up against the Giants, he's only dollars 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:15.560 on fanball. It's over the last Giants. By the way, 0:17:15.600 --> 0:17:17.199 if it we're not for the Dolphins, strandson of the 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:18.960 worst defense in the league, and they still might, I 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:20.600 think it's still gonna be. This is a one A 0:17:20.680 --> 0:17:23.760 and one B situation. Over the last three games, going 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:26.040 back through last year, Giants are giving up an average 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:29.240 of three hundred eighty three passing yards and three and 0:17:29.240 --> 0:17:32.080 a half touchdown passes per game. I don't need Josh 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:33.919 Allen to get me a full three eight three and 0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:36.840 three and a half. How about two thirds of that? 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:39.200 Give me like two seventy and two and a half, 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:41.159 and I'd be pretty happy. He'll chip in more with 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:44.920 his legs, Giants. Giants defense still has not found suitable 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:48.320 replacements for Landon Collins, and then they lost Olivia Vernon 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:52.000 in the off season. They were the dead last pass 0:17:52.320 --> 0:17:56.400 rush defense by Pro Football Focus last week, Giants were 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:59.360 I'm telling you, even Josh Allen cannot screw this up. 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:01.040 He's gonna throw a bunch of deep balls and something 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:04.000 we're going to connect. Don't forget that he just got 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:06.040 to spend time in New York all this week because 0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:08.600 he was in the same stadium last week and away game. Great, 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:11.399 great point, just stayed there. Maybe that was it, and 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:13.320 then he might even rush in a little something extra 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:14.920 for you as well, Josh Allen, take a chance on 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:18.000 the quarterback. Just go to the running backs. Yeah, I'm 0:18:18.040 --> 0:18:20.919 gonna roll with Chris Thompson of the Redskins going up 0:18:20.920 --> 0:18:24.919 against the Cowboys. Charter. You just callously dismissed the entire 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:28.000 Redskins backfield when you when you talked about the matchup 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:31.680 in the previous previous segment. And I agree, they can't 0:18:31.720 --> 0:18:33.520 run the ball, but what they can do is throw 0:18:33.560 --> 0:18:35.320 the ball to their running backs. I was just leaving 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:38.479 Chris Thompson for you, specifically Chris Thompson, who led who 0:18:38.600 --> 0:18:41.680 led all Redskins players and targets last week with ten, 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:44.760 catching seven of them for sixty eight yards in the matchup. 0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:47.879 Here favors pass catching running backs. The Cowboys allowed the 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:51.240 fifth most receptions to opposing runners last year. They yielded 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:54.760 seven catches to the Giants in week one, and now 0:18:54.920 --> 0:18:57.840 with Adrian Peterson in the game instead of Darius Guys, 0:18:57.880 --> 0:19:01.199 he's even less of a threat to catch receptions than 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:04.080 Geis was. So I think Thompson's gonna be in this game. 0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:05.880 They're gonna be playing catch up. They're gonna be dumping 0:19:05.920 --> 0:19:08.479 it off to him quite a bit. Just on fan 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:13.160 ball this week. Malcolm Brown is only one fan ball 0:19:13.240 --> 0:19:16.560 this week, and he's become a true vulture with four 0:19:16.720 --> 0:19:20.479 carries from inside the ten and two short touchdowns last week. However, 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:24.480 yards after contact per attempt Malcolm Brown number seven in 0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:27.760 the league at four point six. That's not bad. He's 0:19:27.800 --> 0:19:30.160 not involved in the passing game at all, never having 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:32.120 more than two targets in a game in his entire career. 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:34.280 But that doesn't matter because the Saints made Carlos Hide 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:36.359 and Duke Johnson looked like Todd Gurley and his prime 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:40.560 last week, allowing seven point three yards per carry, ten 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:43.040 carries eighty five yards in a score for Malcolm Brown 0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:47.480 this week. I like it. Darren Sprawls way off everybody's radar. 0:19:47.640 --> 0:19:50.640 Darren Sprawls, this is your one chance, probably on the year, 0:19:51.000 --> 0:19:54.840 to start him almost free in fan ball shalary cap system. 0:19:55.240 --> 0:19:57.719 He was more involved in last week's game plan than 0:19:57.760 --> 0:20:00.520 anybody would have expected, I think on the field twenty 0:20:00.640 --> 0:20:03.359 three plays, which was five more than Jordan Howard was, 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:06.159 and Howard was the presumed starter for this one. Now, 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:09.040 obviously Sprailes is not going to chip in ground yardage 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:11.920 in any meaningful way. But he might. He had like 0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:15.120 nine carries last time. I well, probably not a meaningful way. 0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:18.920 Maybe falcons have allowed You guys already know this. You 0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:21.040 know where I'm going with this. Falcons have allowed the 0:20:21.119 --> 0:20:25.080 most running back touchdowns last year, the year before that, 0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:29.440 the year before that, and the year before that. I 0:20:29.480 --> 0:20:31.240 think it's safe to say that we will always have 0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:33.359 to take a chance on me pass catching running back 0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:36.440 going against the falcon That's right, it's it always the tradition. 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:39.000 I'm doing it this time because I believe Darren Spoils 0:20:39.000 --> 0:20:41.160 should be in the Hall of Fame. He is number 0:20:41.400 --> 0:20:46.120 six all time in yards. That's awfully impressive. So you're 0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:50.600 basing his Week two prognosis on his entire career. That's right, good, 0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:55.000 which now spans Darren Sprawls. Let's go to the receiver positions. 0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:57.000 You take a chance of me receiver. Yeah, I'm gonna 0:20:57.080 --> 0:20:59.560 roll with me Cole Hardman this week on the opposite 0:20:59.640 --> 0:21:02.600 side of that Chiefs versus Raiders matchup that I talked about. 0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:05.679 You may remember Hardman as the guy that the Chiefs 0:21:05.960 --> 0:21:09.680 drafted this spring to replace Tyreek Hill when it wasn't 0:21:09.680 --> 0:21:11.680 at all clear whether Tyreek Hill was ever going to 0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:14.560 play in the NFL again. Then Hill came back and 0:21:14.640 --> 0:21:17.480 everybody forgot about Hardman, and now Hill is hurt again 0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:20.560 and here comes Hardman. He did play eight of the 0:21:20.600 --> 0:21:24.040 snaps in Week one, even with Hill in the game 0:21:24.200 --> 0:21:26.760
