00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice.

3
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 2: All right, what's up and welcome man to Fantasy Football Weekly,

4
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 2: presented by iHeartRadio. I'm your host, Cory Parson, the Fantasy executive.

5
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 2: You already know the team I got rolling along with

6
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 2: me my Man, John Legueza, Brian Johnson, and Farraz Sidiki.

7
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: I want to give a big shout out in the

8
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 2: big congratulations to everybody who is already Fantasy football champions

9
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,599
Speaker 2: after Week seventeen. That is probably the majority of you.

10
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 2: We want to thank you for coming back and joining

11
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 2: us once again in Week eighteen, even if you have

12
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 2: no action into those of you that are playing fantasy

13
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 2: football in Week eighteen. I want to open up the

14
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: day by acting the guys some of the pros and

15
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: cons of the Week eighteen championship. I'm sure it's going

16
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: to be mostly cons. John, you know what I'm saying.

17
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 2: But what do we think about leagues that go all

18
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 2: the way through to Week eighteen and the headaches they

19
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 2: call us.

20
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 3: Stop cease, desist, right to prison? You know, I mean,

21
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 3: there's just no need again. We work so hard for

22
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 3: so many months to nail this stuff down. It's already

23
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 3: varying enough, there's already enough luck involved. There's really no

24
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 3: need to have a week involved. That doesn't help us

25
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 3: determine who the best fantasy player is. But for the

26
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 3: people out there, I think I got a couple nuggets.

27
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 3: I hope at least all.

28
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 2: Right, what we got? What do we got? Jon Bryan?

29
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would have to agree. But some people they've

30
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: been playing the last week forever, and you know, before

31
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: it went to seventeen games each week week seventeen, we

32
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: wouldn't really do the full show. This is the first

33
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: full episode in the in the final week history. But

34
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: like you said, some people they play, they play it out.

35
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: We're doing this for them. But there's lots of I

36
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: got some some dumpster dive in DFS angles to mix

37
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 1: in with the games that matter. So I know it's football, guys,

38
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna be We're gonna be whining in about a month.

39
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: There's no football to talk about, so let's talk about it,

40
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: no doubt.

41
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: What's up for Roz?

42
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 4: What's going on?

43
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 3: Guys?

44
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: Yeah?

45
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 4: I mean listen, like, there is no reason to play

46
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 4: championship football in week eighteen. But you know, a lot

47
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 4: of props to attack. You know, there's a lot of

48
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 4: incentives for a lot of players that you might want

49
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 4: to take a look at. You know, guys, you might

50
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 4: not normally bet on, but this week might be one

51
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 4: of those weeks.

52
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 2: All right, let's get ready to hop into the week

53
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: eighteen game slate. Obviously, this time of year, we have

54
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: Saturday football and we got a big one in the

55
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: NFC South On Saturday playoff implications, Carolina Panthers travel down

56
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 2: to Tampa to take on the Buccaneers. For ros, you

57
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: have the Carolina Panthers.

58
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 4: What do we got Panthers definitely have a ton to

59
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 4: play for this week. NFC South Division on the line.

60
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 4: If the Panthers win this game, they are the NFC

61
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 4: South champions of the four seed. If they lose, they

62
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 4: still have a chance of winning the division. If the

63
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 4: Falcons beat the Saints. If you look at Bryce Young,

64
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 4: pretty good matchup. You know, the Bucks are allowing to

65
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 4: sixty passing yards per game. That's fourth most passing yards

66
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 4: per game given up this year. But keep in mind

67
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 4: he only threw for one hundred ninety one yards two

68
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 4: weeks ago against them. He finishes. The QB fifteen hasn't

69
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 4: had a QB one finish for a month now. Given

70
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 4: Bryce Young two stars out of four this week. Now,

71
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 4: tedor Rod McMillan really let us down in Fantasy Championship

72
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 4: last week. Man just a brutal performance one catch for

73
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 4: five yards. Better matchup this week. He performed really well

74
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 4: against Tampa two weeks ago, six for seventy three and

75
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 4: a touchdown on ten targets. Tampa's allowing the fifth most

76
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 4: fantasy points to perimeter wide receivers over the last eight weeks.

77
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 4: He also needs seventy one receiving yards to hit one

78
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 4: thousand yards on the season, so you know there are

79
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 4: some incentives here at play. So three out of four

80
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 4: stars for McMillan for me. Now to this backfield. Rico

81
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 4: Daddles battling a toe injury. He's been practicing in full,

82
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 4: seems good to go. He clearly led the backfield in

83
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 4: Week seventeen with seventeen opportunities. I don't really try him

84
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 4: a ton. The Bucks are allowing the six fewest rushing

85
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 4: yards to running backs this year, but Rico has seen

86
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 4: a little bit of an uptick in the passing game

87
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 4: over these last two games, eleven targets over that span,

88
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 4: and the Bucks are allowing the eighth most receptions and

89
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 4: the most receiving yards to the position at this point.

90
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 4: So you're looking at his props, you know, three plus

91
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 4: receptions at somewhat even money, if you're feeling spicy, at

92
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 4: least four receptions at plus two hundred. I might dabble there, right,

93
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 4: But it's also worth noting that he gets a two

94
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty thousand dollars bonus if he scores a

95
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 4: touchdown this week, and either way, he's probably gonna be

96
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 4: one million, one million dollars richer if he has at

97
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 4: least seven yards in this game. So he's looking pretty good.

98
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 4: A pretty good game for him this week.

99
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 2: Their opponent, their division rivals, to Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

100
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 3: I've been chasing these Bucks all season and it's not

101
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 3: really working. Though Baker did it in the stat sheet,

102
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 3: let's take a look if the team total twenty three

103
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 3: and a half. So, even though a little bit of

104
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 3: my confidence is waning in Tampa, if you're playing in

105
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 3: anything meaningful this weekend, I'm gonna rely where I can

106
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 3: feel certain about the utilization. So I think first off

107
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 3: Tristan Wurfs. He missed last week. He might be back

108
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 3: two limited practices, but still questionable. His aut off splits

109
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 3: are definitely marked and worth noting. On that line. Bucky

110
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 3: Irving I think is a two star back regardless, just

111
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 3: because the touch share is there. He's had almost two

112
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 3: thirds of the backfield touches since coming back from injury.

113
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 3: What's the problem. He's only had three of eleven goal

114
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 3: to goal attempts and only one third of the red

115
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 3: zone touches. He doesn't have a single RB one finish since,

116
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 3: but the volume is there. We know he's explosive. Maybe

117
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 3: he gets the long one this time, but given the

118
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 3: rest of the running back landscape, I'd still be relying

119
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 3: on Bucky Irvin the wide receiver room. You're getting a

120
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 3: lot of questions this week about it. I think you

121
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 3: have to roll with Evans. He's not going to quite

122
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 3: get too a thousand yards, but he's had at least

123
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 3: seven targets in three straight. Your roll with him. That's

124
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 3: a two star guy for sure. Godwin Man, maybe it

125
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 3: depends on league depth, but I think he's probably a

126
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 3: week two, maybe a strong one, because he's had at

127
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 3: least five targets in five straight. He's playing every single down,

128
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 3: and we know he's kind of a favorite targeted Baker.

129
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,679
Speaker 3: Where I'm pulling off is the egg Buka and Jalen

130
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 3: McMillan split. I know McMillan went off last week. That

131
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 3: could have very easily have been Agbuka. They're really splitting work.

132
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 3: I don't think either one cracked fifty five percent route participation.

133
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,359
Speaker 3: Gonna be tough to be that efficient brings you to

134
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 3: Aughton no stars. When all the pass catchers in the

135
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 3: wide receiver room are healthy, you can pretty much forget

136
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 3: about Auton. He's a great play to stream when other

137
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 3: guys are hurt, but not right now. Then it's a

138
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 3: Baker two stars, man. I wish I could go three

139
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 3: because the spot matters. He put up three forty six

140
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 3: through the air last week in a losing effort. I

141
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 3: can't help it. Wonder if he's hurt. We'll probably talk

142
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 3: about this in the offseason. Weeks one through six, everybody

143
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 3: twelve touchdowns, one pick, one oh nine, passer rating seven

144
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 3: point nine YPA Week seven. Since when we had that

145
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 3: a bleak, I think I was thirteen touchdowns to nine

146
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 3: picks seventy nine PSR and a six YPA. That's the

147
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 3: difference between the QB one we wanted. I'm like the

148
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 3: QB three we got. Where's the truth? Maybe somewhere in

149
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 3: the middle, maybe they do get it done. Carolina defense

150
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 3: last eight. They're not creating pressure. They play a ton

151
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 3: of zone. This is good for Baker. They're bottom five

152
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 3: success rate and explosive run and fantasy points a lot

153
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 3: to running back, which brings me back to that strong

154
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 3: kind of irving play. They're a little hard to beat

155
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 3: over the top, which might cap Evans, but man, you

156
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 3: gotta roll the dice on again. Where we know there's

157
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 3: gonna be competition this weekend.

158
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: I think all right, let's head from the NFC South

159
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: over to the NFC West. Also got a big time matchup.

160
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 2: Seattle Seahawks travel to the Bay Area to take on

161
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: to San Francisco forty nine. Is Brian Johnson our first

162
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 2: chance to hear from you and get your analysis today,

163
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 2: and you have the Seattle Seahawks, your boy Sam Donald.

164
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's up boys? Happy New Year? And yeah quite

165
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: the monster game here. A winner gets to the number one,

166
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: see wins the West, And I think probably the path

167
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl here, So this is uh, in

168
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: my mind, canceled the super Bowl party plans. That's on

169
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: Sunday anyway, Saturday night party time. This is the game,

170
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 1: starting with my Seahawks. Like you said, Corey, I will

171
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: start with the running backs, Kenneth Walker the third and

172
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: Zach Sharbonay, looking at their last five games using Dwayne

173
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: McFarland's utilization report on Fantasy Life. A killer tool, by

174
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: the way, highly suggests subscribing to Fantasy Life plus last

175
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: five games Charbonay more snaps, and then across the board

176
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: rush attempts, route percentage targets per route run target percentage

177
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: the same as Kenneth Walker Zach Scharboney though seventy seven percent,

178
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: seventy seven percent the short distance and down snaps one

179
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: hundred percent of the snaps inside the five Walker has

180
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: had that one monster game. These guys are just eating

181
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: each other's lunch. Charbonay the preferred back at the goal line. Obviously,

182
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers have surrendered four rushing touchdowns to

183
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: running backs over the last three game, so I give

184
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: each of each a two star rating. If it was

185
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: one running back would be closer to four, but since

186
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: it's the one of the biggest splits we've had all season.

187
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:13,439
Speaker 1: Two stars for both Walker and Charbonney, four stars for Jackson,

188
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: Smith and Jigba. I should have mentioned these teams did

189
00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 1: play earlier in the season. It was way back in

190
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: Week one. We won't look into that too much. But

191
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: in that Week one game, JSN had nine catches one

192
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty four yards, didn't score, but made jig

193
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: go hmm. Good things were on the way for JSN

194
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: after that game. I think good things are coming in

195
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 1: this game. The forty nine Ers have surrendered three hundred

196
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: and forty plus yards and three touchdowns to wide receivers

197
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: over the last two weeks, so I will give Rashid

198
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: Shihed a two star rating now that he has cleared

199
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 1: concussion protocol. I can't go that far with Cooper Cup though,

200
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: just one star for him. I will give a j

201
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: Barner though, three stars. In the tight end realm forty

202
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: plus yards in a touchdown in two straight games. He

203
00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: gets the rare tush push opportunities to if that ever

204
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: comes up with the goal line. And as for the matchup,

205
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,320
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers have surrendered six wide tight end

206
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: touchdowns over the last five games, some huge yardage totals

207
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: as well. So I like Barner here, who has distanced

208
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: himself in that tight end room. And last, but certainly

209
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: not least, Sam Darnold. I'm gonna give him three stars

210
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: for the three passing touchdowns needed to get a five

211
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars bonus. I've learned that from our good

212
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: friend and co host Matt Lamarca, who's not here today.

213
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: So I think they're gonna do everything they can to

214
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 1: get Sammy boy his three touchdowns in that extra five

215
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: hundred k.

216
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 2: Brian, let me ask you, this is JSN the first

217
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 2: round picking fantasy drafts next year, well later on this year.

218
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: Absolutely he's in the he'll be in the top five convo.

219
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,359
Speaker 1: He's not. He's not one oh one for me. I'll

220
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: disclose my one oh one later in the show. My

221
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: way too early, and I encourage John Farroz to do

222
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: the Sam you two Corey, But it's not Jason for me,

223
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: but slammunk first rounder top five too. I can't see

224
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: him not going top five in PPR at least full

225
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: people first rounds.

226
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 3: A little early for san Donald Brock.

227
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 1: I didn't say him, and we already got through him.

228
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: We'll get to my guy.

229
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 2: All right. For San Francisco forty nine is what you got, buddy?

230
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, man.

231
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 4: The forty nine ers are playing for that number one

232
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 4: overall seed, and if they win this game, they win

233
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 4: the division, they get the first seed, they get the

234
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 4: buy and the NFC playoffs go through San Francisco. A

235
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 4: lot to play for here. If they lose, they still

236
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 4: make the playoffs as a wildcard team, either as the

237
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 4: five or six seed, depending on what happens with the

238
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 4: other NFC West game between the Cardinals and the Rams.

239
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 4: But you look at Brock Perdy man just on an

240
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 4: absolute tear Fantasy football league winner. He won so many

241
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 4: people leagues over these past three weeks, second most Fantasy

242
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 4: points only behind Trevor Lawrence. And despite the tough matchup,

243
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 4: you know, you have George Kittleback, you have Ricky Pierce

244
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 4: all back. I'm still I'm giving him four stars pretty easily.

245
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 4: The Seahawks tough matchup, but they do play the fifth

246
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 4: most zone coverage in the league, and perty has the

247
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 4: third highest yards per drop back against zone coverage. He

248
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 4: threw for two hundred and seventy seven yards and two

249
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 4: touchdowns all the way back in Week one against them.

250
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 4: I think he'll be just fining this game. You know,

251
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 4: two hundred and fifty plus passing yards is plus money

252
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 4: and a lot of sportsbooks right now. Sounds kind of

253
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 4: enticing to me. And you know, Christian McCaffrey, he's gonna

254
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 4: ball four stars. He had thirty one touches for one

255
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 4: hundred and forty two yards in that first meeting very

256
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 4: early in the year. He needs four catches for one

257
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 4: hundred receptions on the year.

258
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 2: Either.

259
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 4: This would be his third season with one hundred plus catches.

260
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 4: That's his first, and it would be his first since

261
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 4: twenty nineteen. A little while back, and Juwan jennings Man

262
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 4: can't stop scoring touchdowns. I feel like I say this

263
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,359
Speaker 4: every single week now. It's five straight games scoring touchdowns,

264
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 4: eight touchdowns over his last games. And by the way,

265
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 4: he's at about plus one eighty to score this week.

266
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 4: Kind of like that too. So and by the way, guys,

267
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 4: don't look now, but Ricky Piersoll, he's quietly breaking out

268
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 4: before our eyes. It's just been somewhat scattered, right with

269
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 4: the injuries and the PCL and you know he's still

270
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 4: average a pretty healthy yards per route run despite you know,

271
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 4: an injury that really slows you down. But you know,

272
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 4: all he has to do is stay somewhat healthy. He's

273
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 4: someone I'll be looking to invest in this offseason in

274
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 4: Dynasty as the forty nine ers future wide receiver one.

275
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 4: And you know he's basically playing as the wide receiver

276
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 4: one right now given the target chair. Obviously, Juwan Jennings

277
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 4: is siphoning everything you know in the red zone, but

278
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 4: we might see a lot of it this postseason two,

279
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 4: So I might be sending some offers in Dynasty right

280
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 4: now before he continues that potential streak over his last

281
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 4: two games six for ninety six, five for eighty five.

282
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 4: Tough matchup for the wide receivers, but you know, still

283
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 4: giving them three stars because of the quality of the

284
00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 4: offense and the talent. Same with George Kittle, except that

285
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 4: the matchup is really good. Seattle's Achilles heel on defense

286
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 4: has been defending the tight end, so four stars for him.

287
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 4: His anytime touchdown is sitting at plus one sixty might

288
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 4: dabble there as well, like a lot of these forty

289
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 4: nine ers this week, Just keep in mind that Pearsol

290
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 4: and George Kittle questionable going into the game, but they

291
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 4: got limited practices all week and it seems like they

292
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 4: will be good to go.

293
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 2: All right, we are off and rolling Week eighteen edition

Speaker 3: a lifetime die Hard died in the world Jet fan,

311
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 3: But I'm also a closeted Raven fan because everybody deserves

312
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 3: a little bit of winning sometimes, and my guy, Lamar

313
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 3: Jackson is just my favorite player maybe ever. And I

314
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 3: am so glad God blessed new Putley and the Steelers

315
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 3: are falling apart from making this a must win game.

316
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 3: I could not be more excited. Though. I think this

317
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 3: starts with the team total. A lot of people notice

318
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 3: I do start with that because I think the Vegas

319
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 3: team total is a really great way to kind of

320
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 3: set the pace, to see who you are up against

321
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 3: market expectations. Maybe I'm a little bit higher on the Ravens.

322
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 3: Maybe it's a personal thing. Vegas is giving Pittsburgh a

323
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 3: bit of respecting healthy Ravens. With a twenty two point

324
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 3: team total with Lamara the center, that's pretty low. Start

325
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 3: with Derrek Henry four star, five star, eight star. He

326
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 3: is the new Winter Warlock. Guy's just unbelievable five point

327
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 3: one yards per carry and thirty five of the thirty

328
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 3: seven goal to go attempts on the season. That's on

329
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 3: the year for Henry, who was talking about him slowing

330
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 3: down the thirty six attempts last week were the most

331
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 3: by any running back all season. Really just incredible stuff.

332
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 3: So you're rolling with Henry for sure. Then I think

333
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 3: Zay Flowers one of those spots that I'm really confident

334
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 3: in a wide receiver. This week, He's had basically double

335
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 3: the targets and receptions of any of the other pass catchers.

336
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,920
Speaker 3: He's had more than three times the yards of anybody else,

337
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 3: averaging more than eighteen Fantasy points of games with two

338
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 3: top eight finishes in the last month. Wheels up for

339
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 3: Za Flower. We're also gonna get in to the vulnerability

340
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 3: for that Pittsburgh d which I like they do tend

341
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 3: to over pursue and the slot sometimes is open. They've

342
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 3: given up more than eight catches for over one hundred

343
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,200
Speaker 3: and five receiving yards per game to the slot. I

344
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 3: think we'll see Lamar try and work to Zay with

345
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 3: that short game. If you have to start Andrews, he's

346
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 3: like a hard one soft, two star, tight and dependent.

347
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 3: He's where the red zone looks are gonna go. Unfortunately,

348
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 3: that's not really Z's game. He's gonna have to get

349
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 3: there through volume and then three star Lamar Baby for

350
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 3: Star Lamar I'm taking you down Narravs Street. This is

351
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 3: my guy, man. He's a two time MVP, and these

352
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 3: are when you want to bet on these guys when

353
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 3: everyone is dog piling them. Remember, through the first three

354
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 3: weeks of the year, Lamar was the QB one everybody.

355
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 3: He was three points better than any other quarterback on

356
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 3: a per game basis. There's goat potential. This could be

357
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 3: the time. I'm loving those raving Super Bowl tickets. By

358
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,479
Speaker 3: the way, if you can't tell, gimme Lamar and everyone

359
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 3: in black and Purple to get the job done against

360
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 3: a Stealo team, which I think is really up against

361
00:17:58,600 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 3: the ropes.

362
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 2: Good all right, good stuff right there, breaking it down.

363
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 2: Four star Lamar. What have we got, Brian on the

364
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh Steelers.

365
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm kind of with John. I like the Ravens

366
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: to win this one, but we'll give the Steelers a chance.

367
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: And if they're gonna have a chance, I think it

368
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: starts with Kenneth Gainwell. I'm gonna give he and Jalen

369
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: Warren both two stars here. No knock on Jalen Warren,

370
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: of course, but back to Gainwell easily one of the

371
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: waiver wire darlings of the season. He was there for

372
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: the taking for anyone sitting on the junk pile or

373
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,719
Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, especially in PPR Warren

374
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Gainwell was fifth in catches among running backs

375
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 1: is right now with sixty five that ranks top twenty

376
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: five among wide receivers. Just crazy value from Gainwell and

377
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 1: PPR Jalen Warren still can play, don't get me wrong.

378
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: Somewhat of a Spike week player this season, but the

379
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,719
Speaker 1: underlying numbers are great for Warren has forced a mistackle

380
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 1: on twenty nine point four percent of his rushes. That's

381
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 1: the fourth highest clip in the NFL. But not a

382
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 1: great spot for either one here against the Ravens. Tough

383
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: against running backs, allowing just over one hundred combo yards

384
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 1: and less than a total touchdown per game to opposing

385
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: backs over their last five and again they eat into

386
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: each other's workloads. So just two stars, and that's kind

387
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: of feels like they're they're ceiling in this one, which

388
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: should be a divisional rock fight, and I guess going

389
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,720
Speaker 1: to the wide receivers. No TK Metcalf, of course we'll

390
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: be serving the second game of his suspension, but we

391
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,880
Speaker 1: got Marquez Valdez scantling, but you know what, I'll give

392
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: him two stars here. Eighty three percent route share last week,

393
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: twenty three percent target share, forty percent air yard chair,

394
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: thirty percent first read share, saw three red zone targets,

395
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: two deep targets, so he'll like get his chances. And

396
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: over the last five games, the Ravens have allowed the

397
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: most yards per game to boundary wide out. So I'll

398
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,400
Speaker 1: give two stars to MVS, but no stars to Adam Thiel.

399
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 1: And I still can't believe he's in the league. The

400
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 1: Steelers are undefeated with him though. Maybe he's a good

401
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: look charm, but he's not going to be yours. Friar

402
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: Mouth has somewhat distanced himself in that tight end room,

403
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: so I target a route chair percentage north of sixty

404
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: percent over the last two weeks. But a brutal matchup

405
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: on paper the Ravens. If we'll have just four tight

406
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,120
Speaker 1: end touchdowns this season, so just one star for Mouth,

407
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: you can look look elsewhere at tight end. Same for

408
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. One star for him two one hundred and

409
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: eighty four yards and a touchdown in the first meeting

410
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: that was in week fourteen, but had DK metcalf for

411
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: this one. Not this time, just one star on Rogers,

412
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: not a quarterback. You're looking to start super flex, sure,

413
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 1: but not in one quarterback. Week eighteen, Champions this.

414
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 2: Is probably the game that they brought Aaron Rodders into

415
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 2: the organization to win. We'll see how that ends up

416
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 2: playing out. You know, Foraraz, we talked about all of

417
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 2: these big time division showdowns and these big time matchups

418
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 2: in Week eighteen and what's on the line. And then

419
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 2: we have the Miami Dolphins at the New England Patriots

420
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 2: and Faraj you have to talk about the Miami Dolphins.

421
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, and you know they good place. Spoiler a little

422
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 4: bit here, you know. For the Patriots, you know, needing

423
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,119
Speaker 4: to win to get that first round by but at

424
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 4: the end of the day, you know, it seems like

425
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 4: they might be missing a key piece and that's Devin

426
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 4: a Chen. He hasn't practiced all week with that shoulder injury,

427
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 4: so I would I would imagine they keep him out

428
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 4: of this game. So if he doesn't go, you're looking

429
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 4: at Jalien, right, You're looking at an Ali Gordon. Gordon

430
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 4: seemed to be the backup early in the year, but

431
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 4: Right has recently you know, seemed to take over that

432
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,880
Speaker 4: RB two job fourteen carries over the last two weeks

433
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 4: compared to just one for Gordon, and he's shown some

434
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 4: big playability. He could be a nice volume play if

435
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 4: Hn doesn't go. I wouldn't be surprised if they try

436
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 4: to get Gordon some ash into in this, you know,

437
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 4: in this meaningless game for them, just to see, you know,

438
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 4: what they got in a real game here, So you know,

439
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 4: I wouldn't say that, you know, right, what is a

440
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 4: slam dunk play by any means. I'm gonna give him

441
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 4: two out of four stars, but just with some upside, right,

442
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 4: some real potential upside here. If Han is out. Keep

443
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 4: in mind this matchup hasn't been great, but the Patriots

444
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 4: have allowed almost five yards per carry over the last

445
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 4: four weeks, and they do the Patriots obviously have something

446
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 4: to play for. You know, this could be a sneaky

447
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 4: spot for right regardless though, you know, if you're looking

448
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 4: for you know, DFS plays or or or some dart throws,

449
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 4: or for your Week eighteen Fantasy Championship for whoever is

450
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 4: still in one of those Quinn yours, like he's not

451
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 4: somebody you want to play you know, I don't want

452
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 4: to depend on him in any fashion. He hasn't been bad,

453
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 4: but this is not the ideal matchup, not the circumstances

454
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 4: where I'd be willing to start or bet on yours

455
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 4: after just two careers starts here. Jalen Waddell was back

456
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 4: at practice with the rib injury. He could be good

457
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 4: to go this week. The Dolphins have nothing to play for, obviously,

458
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 4: so they could be conservative with him if he does go.

459
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 4: The matchup is relatively tough. It's not necessarily just a

460
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,959
Speaker 4: Christian Gonzales thing because he doesn't really shadow number one

461
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 4: wide receivers. He's been staying on his side for the

462
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 4: more for the most part this year, but Carlton Davis

463
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 4: has also held things down, and as a result, the

464
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 4: Patriots are allowing the fifth fewest Fantasy points to wide

465
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 4: receivers over these last four weeks, the fourth fewest to

466
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 4: perimeter wide receivers specifically as well, where Waddle you know,

467
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:06,360
Speaker 4: runs most of his routes from some given Wattle two

468
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 4: stars this week yours, he's like He's targeted the tight

469
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 4: end position quite a bit over his two stars. Greg

470
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 4: Dulcich earned a target on thirty three percent of his routes,

471
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 4: Dan Waller on twenty five percent of his routes. The

472
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 4: problem is both guys are kind of sharing that role

473
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 4: right in. Both are part times, so can't really depend

474
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 4: on them. But Dulcich has gone over forty yards in

475
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 4: each of the last four games. Now, the Patriots haven't

476
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 4: been great at defending the tight end position bottom ten

477
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 4: in yards allowed to the tight ends. So desperate streaming

478
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 4: options maybe, But more importantly, you know a degenerate prop

479
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 4: you might be able to place once those lines come out.

480
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 2: I good stuff on the Miami Dolphins, John, what do

481
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 2: you got on New England Patriots?

482
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, for Oz, pretty much set the table nicely. Pats

483
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 3: are in with a win plus the Denver loss. They're

484
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 3: both kicking off at the same time. So the reason

485
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 3: I mentioned not just to keep everybody informed, is I

486
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:05,439
Speaker 3: was talking about trying to target certain quote unquote right utilization.

487
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 3: This one's gonna be tough. The Pats need to win

488
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 3: until they don't. This could go a multitude of ways,

489
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 3: because if Denver gets to win, they're in. They have

490
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 3: the priority, so they're gonna be scoreboard watching. There's no

491
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 3: doubt about it. Because like for us, as we're talking

492
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 3: at home field, if vantage on the line, they're not

493
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 3: gonna rest these guys in a close game if Denver

494
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 3: falls behind. So I'm I don't want to get into

495
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 3: the weeds with utilization and ownership stuff, but this can

496
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 3: be how you win in DFS or a week long

497
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 3: contest when other people are not into the Patriots when

498
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 3: we are. I think you're rolling with both backs. Two

499
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 3: star Madre, two star Trevion. It's really an even split.

500
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 3: The splitting all the red zone, the splitting all the

501
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 3: goal will go. This team has a thirty point team total.

502
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 3: Everybody can get home. One thing I wanted to notice,

503
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 3: and it's not to be too wishy washy. They have

504
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 3: flip flop to touch there. Each of the last four games,

505
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 3: you got Digs, three stars, roll them out there, three

506
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 3: top ten finishes in the last six twenty seven percent

507
00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 3: target per route, almost three and a half yards per

508
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 3: route run since Dubai. They were waiting unleashed Diggs, and

509
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 3: we got him. Maybe all we needed was that Holland's

510
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 3: trip to the ir worth noting. Boute is back, so

511
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 3: he'll be shaking it in the secondary. But remember Diggs

512
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 3: had a couple of big games with boot Tave was

513
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 3: when Holland started eating up all those go routes and

514
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 3: everything went south for him. I think you're roll with

515
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 3: Hunter Henry. He's more of a floor guy, but it's

516
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 3: a solid floor in a week where we're gonna be

517
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 3: dealing with a lot of zeros. Three top ten seven

518
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 3: finishes in the last five which is pretty good, and

519
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 3: he's been the overall number one tight end twice, so

520
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 3: there is even a little bit of ceiling. I guess

521
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 3: he's also the team leader in end zone targets again

522
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 3: trying to get a bite of those thirty points on

523
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 3: the board. And then four Stars Drake may Man, Drake

524
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,640
Speaker 3: Cake doing the thing nineteen Fantasy points per game, and

525
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 3: of course they are actually nine to eleven, I'm sorry.

526
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 3: With two hundred and ninety five total yards per game

527
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 3: year to date, that's combined passing and rushing. He's awesome.

528
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 3: There's a reason why he's the MVP favorite. But again,

529
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 3: don't write off the Pats because if Denver falls behind,

530
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 3: you can see pass look to step on the gas

531
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 3: and you would hate to ignore them from your portfolio.

532
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 3: If you get four competitive quarters from New England.

533
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 2: All right, good stuff as always, Let's head out West

534
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 2: Los Angeles charges and the Denver Broncos. Let's set it

535
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 2: off with the visiting charges.

536
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: Brian, Yeah, this game, Chargers have nothing to play forward,

537
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: so they're gonna be resting everybody. Meanwhile, Denver has everything

538
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: to play for, so the Chargers were just kind of

539
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:34,120
Speaker 1: looking some DFS dumpster dive options. I got Jarrett Patterson

540
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: at running back forty one hundred. That's pretty interesting, one

541
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: hundred dollars above bare minimum. Tough matchup though, but the

542
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: volume should be there. I think I throw a dart

543
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: at Patterson. Now, Keenan Allen is the starter who should

544
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: get rested. But at six, if you get six catches

545
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 1: at seven hundred and fifty K nine receiving yards, another

546
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty K. One hundred and nine is

547
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: another two hundred and fifty K, so five hundred K

548
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: if it's one hundred and nine receiving yards, two hundred

549
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,680
Speaker 1: and fifty K. If you gets two touchdowns, five hundred K.

550
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: He gets four touchdowns. I don't know how much run

551
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: they're gonna give him, and if they do, he probably

552
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: gets Patrick Sartan. So I'll give Keenan Allen two stars,

553
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: I guess if he plays. But Trey Harris and Andre

554
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: Lambert Smith, they're both very cheap. And my favorite cheap

555
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: option is Will Disley twenty five hundred at tight end.

556
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: The Broncos allowing six catches sixty yards per game to

557
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 1: the position. Love Disley on DraftKings. Trey Lance somewhat intriguing

558
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,719
Speaker 1: at forty five hundred eight rushing attempts on seventeen dropbacks.

559
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: He's gonna get something done on the ground to be

560
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 1: worth your while. But the Broncos are foaming at the

561
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 1: mouth for this one. So watch out for the Chargers.

562
00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: But they're cheap and daily.

563
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 2: On the den of Broncos side of the ball. Like

564
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,040
Speaker 2: Brian mentioned, for Ross and the Broncos have everything to

565
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 2: play for. It's just a matter of how long would

566
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 2: people be playing.

567
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 4: Yeah? Absolutely, and you know they get to go against

568
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 4: a team. This is what they want, right Like they

569
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,160
Speaker 4: control their own destiny here. They get the first first seed,

570
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 4: they get the first round with a win against a

571
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,840
Speaker 4: team that might be resting a ton of their starters.

572
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,200
Speaker 4: Sean Payton said he's treating it like a playoff game.

573
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 4: So these starters you know, will be in there for

574
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 4: as long as they need to be. Now, we have

575
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 4: no idea which defensive players will be out there for

576
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 4: the Chargers. They likely won't be at full strength. So

577
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 4: you know, this is usually a good defense that you're

578
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 4: going up against, right, So you know, bo Nicks, there's

579
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 4: a higher than higher likelihood that he has a good

580
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 4: game opposed to a bad game. His passage passing yard

581
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 4: prop is sitting at two hundred and ten yards at

582
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 4: even money. So if he's going to play, you know,

583
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 4: somewhat the entire game here, I don't know if they

584
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 4: can get away with just running the ball game. I

585
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 4: kind of like that one. You know, I'll give him

586
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 4: and all the Broncos' primary skilled players three out of

587
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 4: four stars in this game. That includes Courtland Sutton, who's

588
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 4: had at least ten targets in four straight games. You know,

589
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 4: will he get that many targets in this game if

590
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 4: it's non competitive, maybe not, But they do need to

591
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 4: score points regardless, right, These players have to, you know,

592
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 4: get into the end zone for them to be up

593
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 4: in the game and just run it out.

594
00:28:58,880 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 2: R J.

595
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 4: Harvey he scored one touchdown at least five straight games

596
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 4: as well, so you know I'm giving him three stars too.

597
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 4: Now you know, past Scotland Sutton, it looks like Pat

598
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 4: Brian is going to be back from the concussion, which

599
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 4: makes him and Troy Franklin just dart throws in this one.

600
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 4: We've seen Franklin's rap participation drop a ton recently when

601
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 4: Bryant is in the lineup, so I wouldn't want to

602
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,719
Speaker 4: depend on either guy in this one. Both have some

603
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 4: upside their boom bust one star options for me in

604
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 4: this game.

605
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 2: All right, good stuff, Let's get ready to continue on

606
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 2: the other side. When we come back. We continue to

607
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 2: look for the hidden gyms in fantasy football in Week eighteen.

608
00:29:35,560 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 2: Right here on Fantasy Football my final segment of the

609
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 2: hour Week eighteen Fantasy Football Weekly. Let's get ready to

610
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 2: hop into the Tennessee Titans. They get ready to make

611
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 2: their way down to Jacksonville du Vall to take on

612
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 2: the Jacksonville Jaguars. John, you have the Tennessee Titans before

613
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 2: you really get into the breakdown, John, curious, what was

614
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 2: your thoughts on the first season of the number one

615
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 2: overall draft pick quarterback cam Ward.

616
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 3: Well, I'm sure I'll be one of many people beating

617
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 3: this one to death. I think we don't want to

618
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 3: overly punish him for a very bad situation. We need

619
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 3: to recognize he made some eyebrow raising, highlight reel throws.

620
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 3: There are some ridiculously good plays in that quiver, but

621
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 3: there are all some really ugly ones. Again, that's gonna

622
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 3: be the question is how much you ding him for

623
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 3: the lack of wide receiver help. We thought of the

624
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 3: veteran Ridley might be more of a boost. He actually

625
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 3: got a little bit of love from the two rookie picks.

626
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 3: You know, DK and I am in or might be

627
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 3: quality players going forward. It sounds like there's to be

628
00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 3: a lot more of the same. But I think we're

629
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 3: gonna need better play calling, better coordinating to even get there.

630
00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 3: But you saw it, man, I was one of those

631
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 3: guys stacking Titans late and I kind of paid the price.

632
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 3: As far as this weekend goes, I guess I covered

633
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 3: too many good teams time to get into the Titans.

634
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 3: They have an eighteen team total against the Jaguars, which,

635
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 3: to be honest, on his face, feels a little bit high.

636
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 3: You're starting Tony Pollard. He's been great down the stretch

637
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 3: overall running back ten the last month, averaging more than

638
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 3: twenty touches a game in that span. Though again you

639
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 3: have to keep your eye in the front seven from

640
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 3: the Jaguars. They're very, very good. But this is the

641
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 3: poller and a lot of people like me we're hoping

642
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 3: to get was just a little too little, too late.

643
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 3: Here's your pathetic wide receiver stat for the day, everybody.

644
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 3: The Tennessee Titans have exactly zero wide receiver one finishes

645
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 3: on the season. It looks like they're gonna finish out

646
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 3: with exactly that. I think he can start Chicka Conquo

647
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 3: at the tight end. He's had at least six targets

648
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 3: in three straight, two top six finishes in a row.

649
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 3: Maybe that's part of the chemistry we're gonna be looking

650
00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 3: forward to where Ward understands the value of higher probability

651
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 3: throws underneath to a good playmaker like a conk Wo.

652
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 3: Roll with him this weekend. I wouldn't touch Cam though.

653
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 3: Out of thirty three quarterbacks with two hundred and twenty

654
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 3: five attempts, he's bottom three and EPA completion rate, off

655
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 3: target rate and YPA pretty bad combination. And again, the

656
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 3: bow is the Jacksonville defense, which is top three pretty

657
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 3: much in everything against the run. They're gonna get pressure.

658
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 3: Ward might be running for his life this weekend.

659
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 2: All right, Brian Jacksonville, Jaguar side of the ball.

660
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: All right, Travis Etn starting with him, awful game in

661
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: the first meeting these teams just met in week thirteen,

662
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: somewhat recent, he had thirteen touches for forty one scoreless

663
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 1: combo y'all cards. In fact, do you guys want to

664
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 1: guess how many touchdowns Travis Etn has scored in seven

665
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: career games against Tennessee. That's one hundred plus touches real quick.

666
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 3: Something tells me it's either zero or one hundred.

667
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: It's a big fat zero, Johnny Right. Zero career touchdowns

668
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: for Travis Etn against the Titans. That's kind of wild,

669
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 1: but whatever, Audric estimate. Just had ninety eight convo yards

670
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 1: and a score against the Titans last week. So I'm

671
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: giving Etn three stars in this one. I'll ding them

672
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: for the history, poor history, poor pass performance against Titans,

673
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: so he doesn't get four. Speaking of great pass performance,

674
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: Parker Washington has led this Jaguars wide receiver room over

675
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: the last three weeks, He's accounted for nearly thirty six

676
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: percent of the total team yards. He's more than doubled

677
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: the yards per route run of Jacoby Myers and Brian

678
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 1: Thomas Junior. He has had great matchups against slot receivers,

679
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: though against opponents who are weak against slot receivers. That

680
00:33:55,680 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: has the reverse this case, in this case against the Titans,

681
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: who have allowed the seventh most PPR points to outside

682
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 1: wide receivers. So I'm gonna give three stars to Jacoby

683
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: Myers and Brian Thomas Jr. And just two to Parker

684
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: Washington in this one. But love them all this week.

685
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: I even love Brenton Strange. Gonna give him three stars.

686
00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 1: He had three catches forty five yards in a touchdown

687
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,680
Speaker 1: in the first meeting in week thirteen. Since then, the

688
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 1: Titans have yielded monster games to Harold Fan and George

689
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: Kittle and Juwan Johnson. So three stars for Strange and

690
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: all those stars in the past game. You got to

691
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: give four to Trevor Lawrence two twenty nine and two

692
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: in the first meeting at added twenty five yards on

693
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: the ground. That feels kind of like a floor here.

694
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: This is a game the Jaguars want to win. They

695
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 1: do have an outside shot at the number one seed.

696
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: It's going to take a lot to get there, but

697
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: they're still jockeying for positioning here, so they're going to

698
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 1: go all out on this, on this assault on the Titan.

699
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 2: All right, good stuff right there. Dactonville Jaguars in mixed

700
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 2: for number one seed. A lot of people didn't see

701
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 2: that coming. Oh when the season started, Like people also

702
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 2: didn't see Ryan Thomas Junr Being one of the biggest

703
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 2: fantasy football bust of the season. Let's get the Detroit

704
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 2: Lions at the Chicago Bears for Ra's disappointing season for

705
00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 2: the Detroit Lions. Can we get anything for them in

706
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 2: from them in Week eighteen?

707
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, and a lot of people didn't expect the Lions

708
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 4: to miss the playoffs either, But that's where we are,

709
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 4: and you know that's what they get. You know, if

710
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 4: we're not coming through for all our fantasy championships last week, man,

711
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 4: let's talk about that, that'd be more important to all

712
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 4: of us. But you know, I don't really see a

713
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 4: scenario where all you know, the starters are bands trade

714
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 4: like that this week. I just can't see Dan Campbell

715
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 4: going out like that. You know, they'll probably take it easy,

716
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 4: you know, with some of these guys who have injuries,

717
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 4: like you know, I'm on Ross Saint Brown, but you

718
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 4: know he's pushing to play. Like given how tough this

719
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 4: guy is, I'd imagine he's going to give it all

720
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,720
Speaker 4: out there, regardless of the team situation. And the Bears

721
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 4: have been terrible against slot receivers, allowing the third most

722
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 4: fantasy points to them this season and over the course

723
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 4: of the last four weeks as well. So because as

724
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 4: on Ram giving him four stars, you know, regardless of

725
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 4: the situation that they're in. And Williams went over one

726
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,479
Speaker 4: hundred yards and scored a touchdown against the Bears early

727
00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 4: in the year, but only on four targets. But before

728
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 4: last week's you know, debacle against the Vikings, he had

729
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 4: at least nine targets in four streat games. Three out

730
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 4: of four stars for Jamison Williams, I'll give that to

731
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 4: him this week as well. The Bears are tied with

732
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 4: the Lions actually with the second most touchdowns allowed to

733
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:25,439
Speaker 4: wide receivers this year. Jamier Gibbs, he's he's going into

734
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 4: an even numbered week, so he should be good to

735
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 4: go here. With that being said, Chicago's allowing the fewest

736
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 4: fantasy points to running backs over the last four weeks.

737
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 4: The Bears haven't you know, given much production through the

738
00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 4: air to run to the running back position either. That's

739
00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 4: really where Gibbs has been coming through. But still, you know,

740
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 4: I'm giving it gives four stars because he's Jamior Gibbs

741
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 4: and Jared Goff. He's going into Chicago, you know, not

742
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 4: you know, not going into crazy cold or crazy wind

743
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 4: or anything like that. But he's also not in a dome.

744
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,439
Speaker 4: He's not at home, so it's possible that we don't

745
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 4: get the best Jared Goff that you know, we we

746
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 4: have seen in the past. The Bears are giving up

747
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 4: almost two passing touchdowns per game. We're gonna give Golf

748
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:08,200
Speaker 4: two stars in this matchup as a solid streamer, but

749
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 4: I don't see a ton of upside for him in

750
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 4: this one in Vegas doesn't either, you know, team implied

751
00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 4: total of only twenty three points, which for the Lions

752
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 4: is pretty low.

753
00:37:18,040 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 2: No, Danna, that is pretty low number for the Detroit Lions.

754
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 2: Right then, what they have become, John Wood? Have we

755
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 2: got on the Chicago Bears?

756
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean the team really getting no respect, right,

757
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 3: we were all super high on him coming in felt

758
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 3: like a bit of a letdown. Then they started doing

759
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 3: things the Bears haven't done in a while, which is

760
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 3: win all these close games. They're looking as good as

761
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 3: they have all season. And I actually just saw this

762
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:41,760
Speaker 3: on socials. No matter how these matchups shakeout, the Bears

763
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 3: gonna be a dog at home in the playoffs. It's

764
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 3: just what it is, all right. I think you gotta

765
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 3: start DeAndre Swift. He's beginning to create some separation between Manungui,

766
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 3: who I do like and I think will be relevant

767
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 3: again next season. But we look at the full sample.

768
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 3: Swift's got him in yards per carry, yards before and

769
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 3: after contact EPA success rate, his three time finishes in

770
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,239
Speaker 3: the last five they did split work last week. That

771
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 3: game was a little bit crazy. We're gonna have to

772
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 3: start speaking in that language. When we mentioned in San Francisco,

773
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 3: those are carnival games, right, the best offense and the

774
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 3: worst defense, those are kind of in their own bin.

775
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 3: Now the wide receiver room, I thought, oh Doonsay might

776
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 3: miss after two miss practices. He did practice on Friday.

777
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,640
Speaker 3: He's limited, but they're being noncommittal. Alna med's a chas

778
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,959
Speaker 3: got in two full practices. He's a go so where

779
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 3: that tradates to us, I had Burden for three stars.

780
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 3: I think you gotta take it down to two if

781
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,240
Speaker 3: a Doonsay is gonna play. Year to date, the numbers

782
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,720
Speaker 3: for a rookie are mind blowing twenty six percent target

783
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 3: per route. His two point eight yards per rout are

784
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 3: the most ever buy a rookie in recorded history at least,

785
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 3: and he had nine targets last week, which is great.

786
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,879
Speaker 3: What's the red flag? He only played seven two wide

787
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:55,560
Speaker 3: receiver snaps that equated to blow sixty percent of the total,

788
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,839
Speaker 3: which again is not great. He's a target order, He's

789
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 3: very good. He can even win the deep bold we

790
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 3: thought was in question in those draft profiles. But jaday

791
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 3: Walker soaked up routes z the chaos again his back.

792
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 3: They're probably canceled themselves out. But now mixing the dunes that,

793
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 3: you can see why I would be softer than the

794
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 3: market on Burden. Who I'm not soft on Loveland man,

795
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 3: another guy I love coming in. Gotta be careful with

796
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 3: those rookies sometimes they produce a little late, too little,

797
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:23,320
Speaker 3: too late for me. But two top three finishes in

798
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 3: the last six twenty one percent target per out more

799
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 3: than two yards per hout run. Since that Week nine breakout,

800
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 3: he looks fantastic and like the you know, top overall

801
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:33,760
Speaker 3: pick that we saw, a top ten pick or whatever.

802
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 3: Three stars for Kleb overall QB four five top seven

803
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 3: finishes in the last nine. His EPA per tenth Gentleman

804
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 3: has increased each of the last six games, something that

805
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 3: I look for in quarterback play. Trajectory Detroit d no

806
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 3: Brian Branch, no Kirby Joseph, no Terry and Arnold. Who

807
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,399
Speaker 3: is going to play in the secondary? I have no idea.

808
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 3: You gotta love everything about the Bears because again, they

809
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 3: want to win this one. If they win, they get

810
00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 3: the number two seed all to themselves, you know, which

811
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 3: could mean home at some point. So yeah, roll with

812
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 3: those bearster for sure.

813
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 2: Definitely a playoff game in Soldier Field is something that

814
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 2: Chicago Bear fans and the Chicago Bears want to see.

815
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 2: Is Caleb developing into you know the QB one, you know,

816
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:24,360
Speaker 2: the guy, the superstar, top pick of the draft, Heisman

817
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 2: Trophy winner that we thought he was going to be

818
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 2: in this offense.

819
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 3: Now, if I had answered short. The answer is yes.

820
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,240
Speaker 3: But to circle back to what I was mentioning before,

821
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 3: Kim Ward, you have to look at the ecosystem. It's

822
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 3: you know, three, four or five orders of magnitude stronger

823
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,839
Speaker 3: in Chicago than it is in Tennessee. So with that,

824
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,359
Speaker 3: you know which is part of the formula, right, Ben

825
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 3: Johnson is part of it? Yeah? Then yes for sure,

826
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 3: because I think he crafts game plans to strength something

827
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,320
Speaker 3: that we don't necessarily see in Tennessee.

828
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll just throw a book it into next year.

829
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: I think we'll see Kal will get draft is a

830
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:04,720
Speaker 1: top ten quarterback. He's sitting there statistically right right now.

831
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, Caleb Williams, he puts together a strong showing

832
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:10,800
Speaker 1: in the postseason even if they if they lose in

833
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: the wild card round, Caleb Williams I could see him,

834
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:19,160
Speaker 1: you know, getting drafted before well, certainly Patrick Mahomes now,

835
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: but guys like Jared Goff, oh Justin Herbert, who's had

836
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 1: a strong ear, I still think I would roll with

837
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams as he's got rushing upside three hundred and

838
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: eighty two rushing yards that puts him eighth. Justin Fields

839
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 1: has one more rushing yard than Caleb Williams. That's pretty wild.

840
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 1: But do not draft Justin fields in any No the

841
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 1: top ten, not top twenty, not top thirty. Next year,

842
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:45,080
Speaker 1: I know that much.

843
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 2: In three quarterback leagues, you can leave j fields on

844
00:41:50,280 --> 00:41:54,359
Speaker 2: your board. I our one down, our two coming up.

845
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:57,720
Speaker 2: We will help you find some more Week eighteen gyms

853
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 2: All right, let's get into our next contest to set

854
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 2: off the second hour. It is the New York Jets

855
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 2: and the Buffalo Bills, and Ryan, we did John a

856
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 2: favor this week. We're letting you break down the New

857
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 2: York Jets.

858
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Jets might have a chance on this one.

859
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 1: Bill's not not a ton to play for. I don't

860
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: think they'll rest their starters. I'll let John handle the

861
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:16,359
Speaker 1: Buffalo side over the back to the Jets. Breecee Hall.

862
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,279
Speaker 1: I'm given four stars in this one. Bills have been

863
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,320
Speaker 1: a run for all season and they could be wrestling

864
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 1: their starters at some point. Isaiah Davis will steal some touches.

865
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: But Hall just had one hundred and thirty convo yards

866
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: in a touchdown against a very motivated New England Patriots

867
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 1: team last week, so I like him here. I think

868
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 1: they they'll showcase him a little bit, maybe for a

869
00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: trade or I don't know, but anyway, I like four

870
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 1: stars for Breesese Hall. Done Mitchell, give him two stars.

871
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,880
Speaker 1: Tough matchup on paper, but again, I don't know how

872
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 1: motivated Buffalo is going to be here, so I might

873
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:52,759
Speaker 1: roll the dice on ad. Since week twelve, he has

874
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 1: two top twelve wide receiver finishes, a twenty five percent

875
00:43:55,880 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 1: target share, thirty one percent first read share, seven red

876
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:01,919
Speaker 1: zone to targets in twelve deep targets, so he gets

877
00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 1: his scoring opportunities. So two stars really get for Mitchell.

878
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask Ligeza real quick. I got nothing

879
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:10,919
Speaker 1: on John Metchi. You want to make a quick case

880
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:12,400
Speaker 1: you got anything off the top of your head.

881
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 3: Yes, petually long did John Metchi you know industrial complex? No,

882
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:18,879
Speaker 3: come on, you gotta get away for everything in green and.

883
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: White, all right, Yeah, including Jeremy Rutger are kind of

884
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 1: our boy on this show. I'm given them one star,

885
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: but I might throw a dart at anytime touchdown bet

886
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:31,840
Speaker 1: for Rutger. Bills have allowed a tight end touchdown in

887
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: three of the last four games. So if you want

888
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,240
Speaker 1: a little action on Jeremy Rutger, that's the angle there.

889
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 1: Brady Cook, though, I'm not gonna give him any stars

890
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 1: for like seasonal fantasy purposes, but in DFS forty three hundred,

891
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 1: might take a flyer there. He's gonna want to put

892
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,279
Speaker 1: some good film together. So Brady Cook at forty three

893
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 1: hundred a little interesting, but yeah, this game not too

894
00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:52,920
Speaker 1: interesting overall.

895
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 2: All night, John, the Buffalo Bills, you don't get to

896
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 2: talk about the Jets. You get to talk about what

897
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:01,239
Speaker 2: you can do to the Jets for US.

898
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 4: Yep, the Bills, you know, they're in already as a wildcard,

899
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 4: and depending on how things go this weekend, they can

900
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:11,560
Speaker 4: fall anywhere between five and seven. And Josh Allen's coming

901
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,880
Speaker 4: into the game banged up with the foot injury, he

902
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:16,800
Speaker 4: is going to play. Sean McDermott did say that he

903
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:18,919
Speaker 4: is good to go. I would just be a little

904
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 4: cautious here if you're throwing him in lineups or you're

905
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 4: betting overs on him, because the Bills, you know, they

906
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 4: played him for one snap to keep his consecutive start

907
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 4: streak active last year in Week eighteen, you know, so

908
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,520
Speaker 4: you know there's a lot. You know, obviously the Patriots

909
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 4: want to win this game, but even if they win,

910
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 4: a lot has to go right for them to like

911
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,879
Speaker 4: get the seeding that they want. So I'm not sure

912
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 4: if this is a game that they're really gonna go

913
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 4: all out and play Josh Allen even though he's banned up.

914
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 4: They got their sights on, you know, for for bigger

915
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 4: purposes during the playoffs. So I'm giving him three stars

916
00:45:51,800 --> 00:45:53,359
Speaker 4: out of four this season. I really want to bump

917
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 4: that down to two because you got to really don't

918
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 4: know what to expect here, you know, similar thing with

919
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,840
Speaker 4: James Cook. Such a good matchup for James Cook. It

920
00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 4: would be a shame not to see him absolutely go

921
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,800
Speaker 4: off against the Jets. They're allowing the second most Fantasy

922
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,240
Speaker 4: points to running backs. He's going for the rushing title

923
00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 4: here right, His competition is Jonathan Taylor, right and right now,

924
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 4: you know, Cook is leading the league with a little

925
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 4: bit more than sixteen hundred rushing yards. You know, he's

926
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 4: ahead of JT by forty seven yards. So you know,

927
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 4: like we'll see, we'll see, you know how many he

928
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 4: will need to actually surpass JT if he ends up,

929
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 4: you know, getting ahead of him. So but because the

930
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:32,839
Speaker 4: matchup is so good, even with potentially limited snaps, I'm

931
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 4: still going to go three out of four stars, but

932
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 4: there is a possibility of him being pulled at some point.

933
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 2: Now.

934
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,760
Speaker 4: Playing someone like Khalil Shakir is also somewhat risky, especially

935
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 4: because you'd figure that the Bills will go up either

936
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 4: way in this matchup. He also hasn't finished as the

937
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 4: top thirty wide receiver for five weeks. Now, you know,

938
00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 4: some giving Shakir one star this week in a game

939
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:55,359
Speaker 4: that I'm not sure the Bills will be going all

940
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 4: out for despite a good matchup out of the slot,

941
00:46:57,760 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 4: Maybe bump him up to two stars though, because he

942
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 4: will I'll get an extra one hundred and fifty K

943
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:05,799
Speaker 4: for each touchdown he scores this week up to two touchdowns. Okay,

944
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 4: so the possibility of a three hundred K bonus for

945
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,880
Speaker 4: Colosia gere so, so keep that in mind. Maybe anytime

946
00:47:11,960 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 4: touchdown or something like that, Dalton Kinkaid is questionable. I'd

947
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:18,479
Speaker 4: imagine they rest him. That's what I think is gonna happen.

948
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,560
Speaker 4: We'll see. I mean, maybe he ends up being active,

949
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,399
Speaker 4: but he doesn't play a whole lot. There is really

950
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 4: no reason to, you know, play him and get his

951
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:29,520
Speaker 4: injury aggravated. I think Dawson Knox is a nice dart throw,

952
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 4: you know, even with Mitch Trubisky if he ends up

953
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,359
Speaker 4: being the guy at quarterback for most of this game,

954
00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 4: Knox has some incentives to play for here. Okay, he

955
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 4: just needs seven yards for one hundred K. Obviously that's

956
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 4: not going to move the needle for you whether you

957
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 4: play him or not. But six catches for another one

958
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:47,319
Speaker 4: hundred K and then a touchdown for yet another one

959
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 4: hundred K. Okay, So two stars plus for Knox this week.

960
00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:52,800
Speaker 4: That's all I got in the bills.

961
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 2: That's good enough, you know what I'm saying. And I

962
00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 2: thought that was fantastic, to be honest with you, let's

963
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 2: get the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings. John, you

964
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 2: take on the Green Bay Packers.

965
00:48:06,920 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 3: I wish the radio listeners could hear me shaking my

966
00:48:11,040 --> 00:48:14,359
Speaker 3: head in discuss this is maybe the worst situation on

967
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 3: the board. You know, the Packers are already locked into

968
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,040
Speaker 3: the seventh seed, and that makes for all the Week

969
00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:24,879
Speaker 3: eighteen boredom you can stomach. Jordan Love not playing, Blake

970
00:48:24,960 --> 00:48:28,799
Speaker 3: Willis not playing. If you had Clayton tuned starting on

971
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 3: your Bengo card, that's exactly what you're gonna get good

972
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 3: and hard in this one. It's just like a zero

973
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 3: star situation. I O kidding. Sorry, Though Josh Jacobs practiced

974
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:40,759
Speaker 3: in full, I doubt we're gonna see him. We did

975
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 3: see the potential of Emmanuel Wilson. He was the overall

976
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 3: RB three in Week twelve. Minnesota is a tough dee,

977
00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 3: but he could theoretically get a lot of work. So

978
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 3: I put two stars on Wilson. I don't think I

979
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:54,319
Speaker 3: have another star anywhere in this offense except for one.

980
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 3: And it's like the dark horse irony star of the

981
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 3: weekend would be Matthew Golden right, because everybody is just

982
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 3: dog piled this guy how there's no touchdowns in his

983
00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 3: past or his future. This would be the weekend if

984
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 3: you wanted somebody that's probably gonna get run because again,

985
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 3: the Packers wide receiver room is hard enough to pass

986
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 3: when they're healthy. Guys are it's really too shuffled. But

987
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 3: I do think they're gonna try and get Golden some reps,

988
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:21,279
Speaker 3: maybe get him some confidence going in the tight end

989
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 3: room is crazy between Fitzpatrick and Musgrave and Josh Wiley.

990
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 3: They can buy him for one catch in eight yards

991
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:32,359
Speaker 3: last week and Tune here's here's my stat for this game.

992
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:36,399
Speaker 3: Clayton Tune completed one hundred percent of his passes last

993
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 3: year with Arizona. Now, everybody, why are we not higher

994
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 3: on this guy? Because he was two for two for

995
00:49:40,760 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 3: eight yards.

996
00:49:41,239 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 2: So all right, Brian. The other side of the football

997
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 2: is the Minnesota Vikings. They got anything to play for?

998
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:47,239
Speaker 2: Any hidden gyms over there?

999
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, before I get into the Vikings, So yes, this

1000
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 1: is this is They're gonna play this game like it's

1001
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 1: the NFC championship, like everything on the line against the Packers,

1002
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,080
Speaker 1: even though it means nothing to the Packers. But I

1003
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 1: had to go back to Matthew Golden real quick. He's

1004
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 1: gonna want to get in the end zone to stay

1005
00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:04,560
Speaker 1: off this list of first round wide receivers since twenty

1006
00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:07,240
Speaker 1: fifteen that have put up zero touchdowns in their rookie

1007
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,880
Speaker 1: year Kadarius Tony, Corey Davis, Mike Williams. I don't know

1008
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 1: which Mike Williams it is, to be honest, it's been

1009
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:16,840
Speaker 1: like three, John Ross, Kevin White, Josh Doxon, Lakwan Treadwell.

1010
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 1: Not not good company for Matthew Golden. So hopefully his career,

1011
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 1: yes hopefully, even if he doesn't score, hopefully turns around

1012
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,440
Speaker 1: for him. But over the Vikings, it should turn around

1013
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:30,279
Speaker 1: for them. In this game, they're gonna want to put

1014
00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:34,399
Speaker 1: a good show together. They're almost they are one game

1015
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:36,840
Speaker 1: away from being wild caught card eligible.

1016
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 3: They're not.

1017
00:50:37,320 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 1: They're dead in the water right now. But they're still

1018
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,359
Speaker 1: gonna play their hearts out. Aaron Jones gonna give him

1019
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 1: four stars over his last four games averaging eighteen plus

1020
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 1: touches and since Week thirteen the Packers since they lost

1021
00:50:50,640 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons a right around then if allowed the second

1022
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 1: most rushing yards per game, of course they're gonna be

1023
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:57,800
Speaker 1: resting a ton of starters with four stars for Aaron Jones.

1024
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 1: I didn't give four stars to Justin Jefferson now that

1025
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 1: you know the JJ McCarthy will start. He is an

1026
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:07,360
Speaker 1: upgrade over Max Brosmer. I suppose needs fifty three yards

1027
00:51:07,360 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 1: for one thousand. Justin Jefferson does that, that should be

1028
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:13,400
Speaker 1: a lock. But only twenty six catches to get to

1029
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:16,920
Speaker 1: one hundred, so of course not gonna get there. But

1030
00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 1: my point is he should get peppered with targets in

1031
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,520
Speaker 1: this one. He better. They got to keep him happy.

1032
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 1: So four stars for Jefferson, I'll give two. Actually give

1033
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:28,359
Speaker 1: three stars to Jordan Addison now that TJ. Hockinson has

1034
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 1: been ruled out. Addison saw eighty percent of the snaps

1035
00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:35,319
Speaker 1: after Hockinson went down, So I like Addison here in

1036
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 1: a game that the Vikings should should have some fun

1037
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,320
Speaker 1: indoors on the turf. I'm not gonna give Josh Oliver

1038
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:45,040
Speaker 1: two stars though, just one here Green Bay has only

1039
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,400
Speaker 1: allowed one tight end touchdown since week eight. They'll be

1040
00:51:47,480 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 1: resting a ton of people. But I can't go Josh

1041
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,880
Speaker 1: Oliver's way, and I will. I will give JJ McCarthy

1042
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: four stars, just goodwill for the poor kid. Hopefully nine

1043
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:01,840
Speaker 1: puts on a good show and goes into the offseason

1044
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:07,279
Speaker 1: and gives the Vikings hopeful some hope. But good luck

1045
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:10,560
Speaker 1: with that. Should have kept Sam Darnold traded JJ McCarthy,

1046
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 1: traded JJ McCarthy last year for a couple firsts. I'll

1047
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:18,439
Speaker 1: take the GM job Minnesota. If you, if you're looking

1048
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 1: for a guy, you will be this offseason.

1049
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 2: All right, I'm done, all right, Bryan Johnson, general manager.

1050
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:29,600
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to Philadelphia where the Eagles are

1051
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 2: hosting the Washington Commanders for ROZ. Not the season that

1052
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:37,720
Speaker 2: the Commanders wanted, not the season that Jayden Daniels fantasy

1053
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:40,400
Speaker 2: managers wanted. But here we are on Week eighteen.

1054
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, not at all. Josh Johnson is getting the start

1055
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:47,560
Speaker 4: for the Commanders. No Marcus Mariotta this week, Washington, you know,

1056
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 4: obviously nothing to play for, but Deebo Samuel has some

1057
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:53,040
Speaker 4: stuff to play for. He can gain an extra two

1058
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:56,880
Speaker 4: hundred thousand dollars worth ninety three receiving yards. So I

1059
00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:59,800
Speaker 4: bet that they do what they can to get him that.

1060
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 4: You know, Josh Johnson, that's gonna be his number one

1061
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 4: task this week, you know, given him given Deebo two

1062
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:08,840
Speaker 4: stars this week, maybe pushing three stars with the Eagles

1063
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 4: likely resting their starters. You know, not a huge ceiling

1064
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:14,919
Speaker 4: for Terry McLaurin in this game with nothing to really

1065
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 4: play for, but if the Eagles truly rest our starters,

1066
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 4: he's gonna have a matchup advantage, right So you know,

1067
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:22,239
Speaker 4: we'll go two stars from McLaurin this week, with Josh

1068
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:27,359
Speaker 4: Johnson at quarterback to this backfield. Chris Rodriguez missed last

1069
00:53:27,360 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 4: week with an illness, but he looks good to go

1070
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:32,280
Speaker 4: this week. I'd imagine this will be some sort of split,

1071
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 4: you know. But the way that Bill Krofsky Merrit has

1072
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:37,239
Speaker 4: been running in the last two games that Rodriguez miss

1073
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 4: has been pretty impressive. We could see Bill kind of

1074
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 4: move into that one a role in this backfield as

1075
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:45,760
Speaker 4: a result. But right what as we've seen with his backfield,

1076
00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:49,440
Speaker 4: it's really a hot hand approach, and you know, against

1077
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,319
Speaker 4: backups here, maybe we see them both perform, but with

1078
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:54,840
Speaker 4: a touch split most likely happening here. I'm avoiding the

1079
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:57,839
Speaker 4: situation if I can. I would prefer to play Bill

1080
00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:00,640
Speaker 4: if I'm going with any of these guys, But I'll

1081
00:54:00,680 --> 00:54:03,160
Speaker 4: go two stars for Bill here, one star for Chris

1082
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:07,239
Speaker 4: Rodriguez given the ambiguity going into this week. So that's

1083
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:08,800
Speaker 4: pretty much all I got on the Commanders.

1084
00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:14,439
Speaker 2: Well, you said ambiguity, and that's always good to get

1085
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:20,320
Speaker 2: that type of sat word in there. The Eagles, John,

1086
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:21,760
Speaker 2: what have we got with the Birds?

1087
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:25,439
Speaker 3: That's still a supremely talented team, and I'm a little

1088
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:28,480
Speaker 3: bit surprised they made the announcement about rusting starters the

1089
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 3: way they did. They still could get the tune. I'm

1090
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:35,560
Speaker 3: not in these rooms, but generally I prioritize teams that

1091
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 3: think they could end up getting a game at home,

1092
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:40,839
Speaker 3: a playoff game at home, which the Eagles could if

1093
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:44,040
Speaker 3: Chicago loses. I guess they're very confident the Bearers are

1094
00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 3: going to get that win, which then would pretty much

1095
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:48,200
Speaker 3: lock Philly into the third. But again, they're out there

1096
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 3: saying they're not going to start anybody. So if that's

1097
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 3: the case, Philly is Actually this is like the bad

1098
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:56,440
Speaker 3: situation I think we really want to invest in. Actually,

1099
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:58,880
Speaker 3: there aren't many of them, because all the backups are

1100
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:00,880
Speaker 3: really good. All the Philly backs are still better than

1101
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 3: the Washington starters who might be starting backups. Also, if

1102
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 3: you could keep up with that, So it's probably the

1103
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:07,239
Speaker 3: only four star player I think I had to, it'd

1104
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:09,640
Speaker 3: be Tank Bigsby's and almost six and a half yards

1105
00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 3: per carry and a nearly twenty percent explosive rush rate.

1106
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 3: If he's gonna get twenty plus touches, he could be

1107
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 3: the RB one. Overall, it's really slim pickens in the

1108
00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:20,880
Speaker 3: wide receiver room. If they're gonna sit aj Brown and

1109
00:55:20,920 --> 00:55:23,879
Speaker 3: you're gonna sit DeVante Smith. John Dotson is the only

1110
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:26,799
Speaker 3: other guy with really like a replacement level player. He's

1111
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,719
Speaker 3: actually pretty good. I think it's small windows and he

1112
00:55:29,760 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 3: could get a lot of love from the two star,

1113
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:34,399
Speaker 3: three star quarterback Tanner McKee, who was a preseason hero.

1114
00:55:34,760 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 3: He had a fantastic game. I mean one recording preseason.

1115
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 3: You know we're in week eighteen, fellas, but in that

1116
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:42,399
Speaker 3: week he was twenty to twenty five through for two

1117
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:45,239
Speaker 3: fifty two and two scores. He also ran one in

1118
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:48,359
Speaker 3: and they love this kid. He's gonna get full run.

1119
00:55:48,400 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 3: He's gonna be looking to put some good film on

1120
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:51,840
Speaker 3: tape and show him that they want him as the

1121
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 3: backup of the future. So I you could see any

1122
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,319
Speaker 3: pieces together, I wouldn't bother with the tight ends, though

1123
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:58,920
Speaker 3: it sounded like can we're piecing this stuff together in

1124
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:02,279
Speaker 3: real time? Grant Katara and Kylon Grantson are gonna split time,

1125
00:56:02,320 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 3: So I'd say no, but give me the trio, the

1126
00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:07,400
Speaker 3: stats or the stack I want is McKee and Dodson

1127
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 3: and Tank Bigsby because the Washington d all the year

1128
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:12,400
Speaker 3: bottom five in yards allowed for game, bottom five and

1129
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:15,160
Speaker 3: EPA success rate and takeaways or good news for the

1130
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 3: rook So if you're gonna invest in any of the

1131
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 3: kind of quote unquote backup situations, Philly is the one

1132
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:20,120
Speaker 3: that I want.

1133
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:24,040
Speaker 2: And there you go, that dan Quinn defense not getting

1134
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 2: it done this year, but we are getting it done,

1135
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 2: and you're getting it done as well. I still got

1136
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 2: more action to get through the rest of the slate

1137
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 2: coming up on Fantasy Football Weekly presented by iHeart.

1138
00:56:35,680 --> 00:57:23,120
Speaker 5: Radio, the Week eighteen edition, all.

1139
00:57:23,040 --> 00:57:25,919
Speaker 2: Right went back on Fantasy Football Weekly forty passing John

1140
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:29,600
Speaker 2: Legezza for Rosidiki and Brian Johnson. Thank you for rocking

1141
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 2: and rolling with us throughout the course of the season

1142
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 2: all the way into week eighteen. Let's get back to

1143
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 2: the matchups that's going to determine your fantasy Football Championship,

1144
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:43,479
Speaker 2: the Arizona Cardinals and the Los Angeles Rams. Brian, what's

1145
00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 2: up with Arizona?

1146
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:47,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna treat the Cardinals. You're like, they're gonna

1147
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 1: go up against a somewhat softer version of the Rams.

1148
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 1: I'll let FROs get into that, but I don't know.

1149
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:54,720
Speaker 1: The Rams really not a ton to play for. But

1150
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:57,120
Speaker 1: I like some options for the Cardinals here. One of

1151
00:57:57,120 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 1: them is not Michael Carter, though. I like Amri de

1152
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 1: Marcado more. And this is just DFS speaking. De Marcado

1153
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 1: cheaper forty six hundred on DraftKings, which is full PPR,

1154
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 1: a fifty six percent route share last week saw more

1155
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 1: snaps than Michael Carter two, so I kind of like

1156
00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 1: de Marcado as a cheap option in this game. The

1157
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 1: Rams are brutal on paper against the run, but again,

1158
00:58:19,480 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 1: we'll see how competitive they are. One guy's been competitive

1159
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 1: all year, and who I've been who I alluded to earlier,

1160
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:28,640
Speaker 1: is my first overall pick in twenty twenty six, and

1161
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:31,840
Speaker 1: that is Trey McBride. I will take him first overall

1162
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:34,919
Speaker 1: in PPR without a doubt. Four stars for him. Only

1163
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 1: had five catches for fifty eight yards in the first

1164
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:39,720
Speaker 1: meeting in week fourteen. That was like by far his

1165
00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 1: worst game of the season practically, but McBride, I don't care.

1166
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 1: Four stars for him. Tied right now with Pukin Nakua

1167
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 1: at one hundred and nineteen catches for the league lead.

1168
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 1: That that is absolutely insane from a tight end. Speaking

1169
00:58:53,200 --> 00:58:56,720
Speaker 1: of insane, Michael Wilson's last third of the season, that

1170
00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 1: certainly has been that he had eleven catches one hundred

1171
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 1: and forty two yards two touchdowns in the first meeting

1172
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 1: when Marvin Harrison Junior was out as he will be

1173
00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 1: this game MHJA that is he is out. So four

1174
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 1: stars for Wilson. I'm gonna throw a DFS start at

1175
00:59:11,120 --> 00:59:15,200
Speaker 1: wide receiver Xavier Weaver thirty one hundred bucks on DraftKings.

1176
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:17,840
Speaker 1: Why not like him in this matchup? And he gotta

1177
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:20,240
Speaker 1: love Jacoby Brissett. I'm gonna give him four stars here.

1178
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's won a game in reality

1179
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 1: football with the Cardinals of this season, but I don't

1180
00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 1: think anybody cares basically top eight quarterback option since taking over.

1181
00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 1: I would love to see him get a full season,

1182
00:59:32,160 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 1: get a shot at this full time job. Next year,

1183
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:35,240
Speaker 1: but we shall see.

1184
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:38,800
Speaker 2: Ran. Let me ask you this, you have won one

1185
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 2: and you take Trey McBride, do you draft a Nutt's

1186
00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:44,840
Speaker 2: another tight end later on in the draft or do

1187
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:47,080
Speaker 2: you just say I got my tight end and I'm set.

1188
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:50,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you know, if it's not best ball, even

1189
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:52,760
Speaker 1: the best ball, he can almost take a zero if

1190
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:54,400
Speaker 1: you're going with Vick Bride. But no, in like a

1191
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 1: seasonal lineup league, no, you just you just draft McBride,

1192
00:59:57,520 --> 01:00:00,280
Speaker 1: then you're done. Then you worry about the bye week

1193
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 1: or God forbid an injury.

1194
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:04,760
Speaker 2: Hi for ozy Los Angeles Rams, what are they want

1195
01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:04,920
Speaker 2: to do?

1196
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1197
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:06,800
Speaker 4: You know, no matter what happens this week, and the

1198
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:09,200
Speaker 4: Rams are locked into the fifth or the sixth seed,

1199
01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:11,200
Speaker 4: So like Brian was saying this, there isn't really that

1200
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 4: much to play for. You know, maybe they would just

1201
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 4: rather play the winner of the NFC South, So getting

1202
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 4: that fifth seed might mean something to them. So for

1203
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 4: that scenario, maybe they want to make sure they want

1204
01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 4: to win to win this game, but it's possible. We

1205
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 4: don't see the starters play a full game here.

1206
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 2: Now.

1207
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:28,840
Speaker 4: If they do play a half, can Stafford come through

1208
01:00:29,120 --> 01:00:31,840
Speaker 4: with two hundred yards passing and two touchdowns against his

1209
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:35,439
Speaker 4: Arizona defense at the first half alone. Yeah, I think so.

1210
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 4: So I think because of that, you know, I'll give

1211
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 4: them two stars for that possibility. You know, I have

1212
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 4: to give Pooka four stars no matter what. If he's

1213
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,440
Speaker 4: active on game day, that's that's just how I got

1214
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 4: to play it. We've seen him have the production of

1215
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:50,680
Speaker 4: a wide receiver one in one half of football several

1216
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:53,400
Speaker 4: times at this point, So that's how I'll treat it

1217
01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:55,240
Speaker 4: for now. Because we kind of can't predict them. Whether

1218
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:57,200
Speaker 4: they're gonna play a couple series, whether they're gonna play

1219
01:00:57,200 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 4: a half, whether they play the full game is of

1220
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 4: a tough tough points. So it's gonna be interesting to

1221
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:04,920
Speaker 4: see what happens this week. If I'm betting, I'm probably

1222
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:07,960
Speaker 4: staying away from this game. But the biggest question, you

1223
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,680
Speaker 4: know for the Rams is at running back. Blake Korm

1224
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 4: dealing with an ankle injury. He hasn't practiced. Karen Williams

1225
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 4: also dealing with an ankle injury. He's been limited all week.

1226
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:19,680
Speaker 4: Do we see some Ronnie Rivers this week? You know,

1227
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:23,000
Speaker 4: maybe my boy Jharkas Hunter can finally get some run

1228
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 4: but Rivers is likely the next man up here, so

1229
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:28,920
Speaker 4: keeping I don't know. I don't think their statuses have

1230
01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 4: come out just yet, so keep an eye on those statuses.

1231
01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 4: My guess is that Korum will be out in this

1232
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:38,440
Speaker 4: game and Williams plays, but in a reduced role, you know,

1233
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 4: with Rivers getting some run as well. So I'll give

1234
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 4: Karen three out of four stars, hoping he can get

1235
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 4: into the end zone, especially against this defense. And if

1236
01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:47,600
Speaker 4: neither of these you know, co starters go, I'll give

1237
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:51,120
Speaker 4: Rivers three stars against the Cardinals with the potential of

1238
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 4: some real volume this week. Now, we got two weeks

1239
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 4: in a row with Terrence Ferguson. Sorry, sorry, Corey, I

1240
01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:00,520
Speaker 4: paused there for you, and then all of a sudden,

1241
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:03,080
Speaker 4: you know I got more to go. I'm sorry about that, man.

1242
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:05,480
Speaker 4: We got two weeks in a row now with Terrence

1243
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:08,840
Speaker 4: Ferguson getting in the end zone. Colby Parkinson also caught

1244
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 4: six to seven for fifty three yards last week. Parkinson's

1245
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:14,960
Speaker 4: had no end zone targets these last two weeks, but

1246
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:17,840
Speaker 4: he's leading in rap participation and target share. So if

1247
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:20,120
Speaker 4: I'm betting on a touchdown, you know, maybe I'll go

1248
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:23,000
Speaker 4: Ferguson given the recent usage, which is funny that you

1249
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 4: wouldn't say that two weeks ago with Parkinson was you know,

1250
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:29,000
Speaker 4: getting a touchdown every damn week until you know DeVonta

1251
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 4: Adams went out. But maybe I'll go Parkinson for any

1252
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:35,360
Speaker 4: yardage or receiving props. The Rams are bottom six in

1253
01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 4: each of those categories against the tight end, I'm sorry.

1254
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:40,720
Speaker 4: The Cardinals are bottom six in each of those categories

1255
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 4: against the tight end position. Now, to add some more

1256
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 4: complexity complexity, Tyler Higbee will be off of IR and

1257
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 4: will likely play this week, So not the most confident

1258
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:52,919
Speaker 4: plays if you're choosing one of these guys. But that said,

1259
01:02:52,960 --> 01:02:55,160
Speaker 4: I'd probably go up to two stars for each of

1260
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:57,600
Speaker 4: Ferguson and Parkinson. Still in a great matchup.

1261
01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:01,760
Speaker 2: Sorry, Corey, I'm done. All good, No, I'm all good

1262
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:05,439
Speaker 2: for us. Old lady pauses for me too, and I'm

1263
01:03:05,480 --> 01:03:10,960
Speaker 2: done now all right, Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals done.

1264
01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 2: You get the duty of handicapping the fighting chadors.

1265
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:22,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Browns have been a football team this year.

1266
01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 3: I guess we could say that, But if we are

1267
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:26,720
Speaker 3: talking about utilization and playing for it, you know, a

1268
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 3: gotlic Shador again wants to put a lot of good

1269
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:31,840
Speaker 3: tape out there, and they're gonna be pushing. They just

1270
01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 3: aren't very good. I was one of the many people

1271
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 3: who stepped on the Dylan Sampson rake last week, thinking

1272
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 3: at the very least we were gonna get a ton

1273
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 3: of receptions. That didn't happen. You can't start any of

1274
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:45,760
Speaker 3: these Browns running backs. Between Dylan Sampson, Raheem Sanders and

1275
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:49,120
Speaker 3: Travon Williams, no one cracked forty two percent of snaps.

1276
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 3: They don't do enough on offense for that, so you

1277
01:03:52,160 --> 01:03:54,960
Speaker 3: have to avoid it. However, we love the tight end

1278
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:58,680
Speaker 3: room now with no fan and no Djoku. Maybe Jerry

1279
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 3: Judy is one of the dark kind of please. I mean,

1280
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 3: he's out there ninety three percent of the routes on

1281
01:04:03,680 --> 01:04:06,800
Speaker 3: the season, more than six targets a game on the season. Now,

1282
01:04:06,880 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 3: the quality of the targets are as low as they go,

1283
01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:12,160
Speaker 3: but someone's gotta get in the ball because the combination

1284
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:16,200
Speaker 3: of sal Canela, My Paisana and Blake Whiteheart probably not

1285
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:18,480
Speaker 3: gonna do much from the tight end room. It's really

1286
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:20,760
Speaker 3: really bad in Cleveland. Of course, they were lying on

1287
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 3: the defense I did slap a second star on Shador

1288
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 3: because he's playing against the Bengals, and we did see

1289
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:29,320
Speaker 3: a spike week against a very bad Titans team, so

1290
01:04:29,360 --> 01:04:33,040
Speaker 3: it's not impossible. Remember, the Cincinnati is the worst in

1291
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:35,920
Speaker 3: the league and yards for play, they've actually given up

1292
01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:39,600
Speaker 3: more than twenty five yards a game than the next team, which,

1293
01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:42,080
Speaker 3: if you know anything about the way these stats shake out,

1294
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:45,920
Speaker 3: that's probably the difference between twelve slots in the middle.

1295
01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 3: So Brown's really really ugly. But I think you could

1296
01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:51,440
Speaker 3: start during judy. I wouldn't be shocked if they connected

1297
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 3: for six sixty in a score. I don't think that's

1298
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:56,320
Speaker 3: out landish. But other than that, very hard to rely

1299
01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:58,200
Speaker 3: on anything in Cleveland this weekend.

1300
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:03,320
Speaker 2: That about it, Brian. This is probably Zach Taylor's last

1301
01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:06,000
Speaker 2: game as the head coach at the Cincinnati Bengals.

1302
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:09,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, not not to hate an Taylor, but yes, hopefully

1303
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 1: it is so. But there is I think we can

1304
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:14,760
Speaker 1: bank on a lot of Bengals in this game offensively

1305
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 1: that they certainly haven't fallen short most weeks. These teams

1306
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:20,200
Speaker 1: did play in Week one way back in Week one.

1307
01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:22,480
Speaker 1: We won't look too much into that one. But anyway,

1308
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:25,120
Speaker 1: starting with Chase Brown, who is sick this week but

1309
01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:28,280
Speaker 1: returned to practice on Friday, Gonna give him three stars.

1310
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:30,439
Speaker 1: Saw a little more of the Lions share last week

1311
01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 1: over samaj p Ryan. That was nice to see. Hopefully

1312
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:37,120
Speaker 1: it happening happens again because the Browns once vaunted run

1313
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:40,040
Speaker 1: defense has surrendered eight running back rushing scores over the

1314
01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:43,640
Speaker 1: last five games. So three stars for Chase Brown, four

1315
01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:47,160
Speaker 1: stars for Jamar. Chase leads all wide receivers with one

1316
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five targets. A'man ross Saint Brown is

1317
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 1: second with one hundred and fifty seven. That is quite

1318
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:55,560
Speaker 1: the delta that I do have to mention Trey McBride

1319
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 1: second overall in the league with one hundred and sixty

1320
01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:01,240
Speaker 1: one targets. Just to back up my one one pick

1321
01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:03,840
Speaker 1: from a little earlier in the show, over to t

1322
01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 1: Higgins we got to talk about t Higgins, of course,

1323
01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:09,480
Speaker 1: has scored in three of his last four games against

1324
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:13,880
Speaker 1: the Browns. The Steelers and Bill's wideouts did nothing against

1325
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:16,360
Speaker 1: Cleveland over the last two weeks, but that's no surprise

1326
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 1: at all really. But before that, the Browns surrendered five

1327
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:22,360
Speaker 1: scores to the wide receiver position. Over the three games prior.

1328
01:06:22,400 --> 01:06:25,320
Speaker 1: So three stars for t Higgins, three stars for Mike Gasicki.

1329
01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:28,600
Speaker 1: Even though Cleveland has not surrendered a tight end touchdown

1330
01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:31,560
Speaker 1: since Week eight, the Pittsburgh tight ends combined for ten

1331
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:34,800
Speaker 1: catches ninety six yards against the Browns last week. So

1332
01:06:34,880 --> 01:06:37,080
Speaker 1: you got a Lakasiki here, he gets three stars, and

1333
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:39,880
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow and easy four stars and what could be

1334
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:44,520
Speaker 1: a showcase game for a potential offseason trade for Joey

1335
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 1: b We shall see.

1336
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:51,320
Speaker 2: Ooh, interesting stuff right there. That would be definitely a

1337
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 2: Luca s trade, trading a young star in their prime.

1338
01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:58,240
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens. Should be an interesting offseason out

1339
01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:02,520
Speaker 2: there in Cincinnati. It's always an of interesting offseason with

1340
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 2: the Dallas Cowboys. They go up to New York to

1341
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:08,680
Speaker 2: take on the Giants for OZ. What do you got

1342
01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:09,720
Speaker 2: for America's team?

1343
01:07:10,240 --> 01:07:11,840
Speaker 4: You know, it's not easy to figure out what the

1344
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:14,760
Speaker 4: Cowboys are doing with their starters this week. There's some

1345
01:07:14,840 --> 01:07:18,120
Speaker 4: rumblings about Dak not playing a full game, so he's

1346
01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:20,520
Speaker 4: a little risky this week. I'll go two stars on

1347
01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:24,640
Speaker 4: him because of that possibility. Despite the good matchup Javonte

1348
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 4: Williams and Malie Davis both listed as out for this game.

1349
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 4: Maybe we see Jayden Blue getting some work, getting some

1350
01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:34,720
Speaker 4: of that workload. I give him two stars, maybe three.

1351
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:37,040
Speaker 4: It's just that it's a little risky because you know,

1352
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:40,520
Speaker 4: he is the presumed starter in this backfield. Obviously a

1353
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 4: ton of upside, but the floor is low based on

1354
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:44,280
Speaker 4: who they end up going with. But there's not a

1355
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:45,760
Speaker 4: lot of guys that can end up going with, so

1356
01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:47,640
Speaker 4: I would assume that Jayden Blue would be the guy here.

1357
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:51,680
Speaker 4: I give both Ceedee Lamb and George Pickens three stars

1358
01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:56,360
Speaker 4: each because they're ballers, but without knowing how much they're

1359
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 4: gonna end up playing, you know, they have a chance

1360
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:00,920
Speaker 4: of putting up numbers regardless us. You know, who knows

1361
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:02,440
Speaker 4: how much Dak is going to play in this game.

1362
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:06,080
Speaker 4: Because because of that, I'm a little iffy. The Giants

1363
01:08:06,160 --> 01:08:08,920
Speaker 4: have given up the seventh most Fantasy points to perimeter

1364
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:12,400
Speaker 4: wide receivers over the last four weeks, so they're still

1365
01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:14,960
Speaker 4: in line even with limited play to end up doing

1366
01:08:15,040 --> 01:08:19,120
Speaker 4: something in this one. Similar situation with Jake Ferguson this week.

1367
01:08:19,160 --> 01:08:21,960
Speaker 4: He's also banged up. You know, do they rest him

1368
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:25,479
Speaker 4: a bit? You know, I think that's possibility. Two stars

1369
01:08:25,479 --> 01:08:28,840
Speaker 4: for Ferguson. The Giants have been pretty good defending tight

1370
01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:32,080
Speaker 4: ends this year, so not loving Ferguson a whole lot.

1371
01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 4: I would just temper expectations overall for the Cowboys offense

1372
01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:35,719
Speaker 4: this week.

1373
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:38,000
Speaker 2: Probably a good idea, right there. What have we got

1374
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:41,760
Speaker 2: John on the New York Giants? Probably expectations on the

1375
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:42,679
Speaker 2: New York Giants too.

1376
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:45,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd be pumping brakes though, again, if you were

1377
01:08:45,360 --> 01:08:48,840
Speaker 3: using the market as a leading indicator, the giants twenty

1378
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:51,200
Speaker 3: four point team total is in the top half, so

1379
01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:54,680
Speaker 3: someone is expecting points. It's just not really me. The

1380
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:58,120
Speaker 3: running back situation very hard to purse. I guess they're

1381
01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:01,400
Speaker 3: both startable. You could slap two stars on Tracy and Singletary.

1382
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:03,760
Speaker 3: It's been a dead even split. No one is really

1383
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:06,479
Speaker 3: pulling away with it. The Giants run a ton, so

1384
01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:09,640
Speaker 3: if they do get to twenty four, it's conceivable it

1385
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:12,519
Speaker 3: happens through the ground. Maybe they both find the end zone,

1386
01:09:12,680 --> 01:09:14,519
Speaker 3: or the one that doesn't find the end zone catches

1387
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:17,519
Speaker 3: a few passes. As soon as I really like Tracy

1388
01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:20,280
Speaker 3: Singletary had the game, so ya gonna be hard to

1389
01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:22,760
Speaker 3: have any kind of confidence if you like won Dale

1390
01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:26,120
Speaker 3: Robinson with good reason. He's Fantasy Football's wide receiver eleven.

1391
01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:29,679
Speaker 3: He's over one thousand yards over ninety catches. He has

1392
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:33,040
Speaker 3: three dnps in a row with the ribs. After today's DNP,

1393
01:09:33,360 --> 01:09:35,519
Speaker 3: I'm starting to get worried he might not play. He's

1394
01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:38,360
Speaker 3: also a free agent, and maybe it's over for him.

1395
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:40,000
Speaker 3: You know, he put in a great amount of work.

1396
01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:42,599
Speaker 3: They may ring him back, but maybe that's it. If

1397
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 3: he's out, maybe he moved to Slayton. He's the only

1398
01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:48,240
Speaker 3: other Giant wide receiver with more than thirty five targets.

1399
01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:54,360
Speaker 3: It's Week eighteen. Thirty five targets just insane stuff. But again,

1400
01:09:54,439 --> 01:09:56,840
Speaker 3: twenty four point team total. You want the number one

1401
01:09:56,920 --> 01:09:59,920
Speaker 3: piss catching option, he's the only one there. THEO john

1402
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:03,120
Speaker 3: three danp's in a row with an illness, but he

1403
01:10:03,200 --> 01:10:05,400
Speaker 3: only had four targets as a max over the last

1404
01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:08,759
Speaker 3: two games played, Bellinger ran ninety eight percent of routes.

1405
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:11,479
Speaker 3: Last week he only earned three targets. Again, I don't

1406
01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:13,479
Speaker 3: know how they get to twenty four points. I would

1407
01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:16,280
Speaker 3: start Johnson if he's playing, I would start Bellinger If

1408
01:10:16,320 --> 01:10:19,719
Speaker 3: Johnson is not. You have to put two stars on

1409
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:22,240
Speaker 3: the QB six over the last nine week span that

1410
01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:26,160
Speaker 3: Jackson Dart for top five finishes in that nine week period.

1411
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:28,639
Speaker 3: I was talking about Dallas is allowed more than seven

1412
01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:31,559
Speaker 3: yards of play last four That's probably the reason for

1413
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:34,639
Speaker 3: the team total. But man, you gotta have something on offense.

1414
01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:36,640
Speaker 3: I just don't see how it gets done unless they

1415
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 3: do like an army Navy thing. I'm not seeing it.

1416
01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:41,679
Speaker 3: I'm low on the Giants. But again, if you go

1417
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:45,519
Speaker 3: Dart Slayton Bellinger, maybe you have a sneaky stack of

1418
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:48,120
Speaker 3: guys that are gonna play. But again, very hard to

1419
01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:49,280
Speaker 3: have confidence.

1420
01:10:50,400 --> 01:10:53,080
Speaker 2: No doubt about it, especially over the past decade. Hard

1421
01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:56,360
Speaker 2: to have confidence in the New York Giant organizationally as well.

1422
01:10:56,560 --> 01:11:01,839
Speaker 2: All Right, we got three games left of regular season

1423
01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:06,080
Speaker 2: NFL football. We come back on the other side on

1424
01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:09,280
Speaker 2: Fantasy Football Weekly. We break those three downs and we

1425
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:53,559
Speaker 2: send you into week number eight. All right, final segment

1426
01:11:53,720 --> 01:11:58,240
Speaker 2: Fantasy Football we presented by iHeartRadio. Let's get ready to

1427
01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:03,559
Speaker 2: hop in two our final three contests of the week,

1428
01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:07,600
Speaker 2: and we start off with a matchup that kind of

1429
01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:11,400
Speaker 2: does have some playoff implications, as the New Orleans Saints

1430
01:12:11,479 --> 01:12:15,120
Speaker 2: travel down to Atlanta to take on the Falcons. Brian,

1431
01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:18,360
Speaker 2: you are charged with breaking down the New Orleans Saints

1432
01:12:18,360 --> 01:12:18,920
Speaker 2: in this one.

1433
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:24,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, potential playoff implications here to remind the listeners

1434
01:12:24,040 --> 01:12:25,960
Speaker 1: who may have missed the early part of the show.

1435
01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:30,080
Speaker 1: If the the forty nine ers beat I'm sorry, Well,

1436
01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:34,120
Speaker 1: if the Buccaneers beat the Panthers, the Panthers can still

1437
01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:37,439
Speaker 1: win the NFC South if the Falcons beat the Saints

1438
01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:39,200
Speaker 1: in this game. But I'm going to talk about the

1439
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:41,519
Speaker 1: Saints here, and I'm going to talk about a guy

1440
01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:45,200
Speaker 1: I love. Our DraftKings right now, only five K for

1441
01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:47,679
Speaker 1: a starting running back and that's Audric estimate. I'm gonna

1442
01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:51,599
Speaker 1: give him three stars here. Last week was RB thirteen

1443
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:55,400
Speaker 1: and PPR estimate saw eighty percent snap rate, a sixty

1444
01:12:55,439 --> 01:13:00,240
Speaker 1: five percent route share percentage. He finished with fifty teen

1445
01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:03,599
Speaker 1: touches for ninety eight combo yards and a score. And

1446
01:13:03,640 --> 01:13:07,120
Speaker 1: over Atlanta's last five games, they've allowed the eighth highest

1447
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:11,320
Speaker 1: explosive run rate, the third highest misstackle rate, the ninth

1448
01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:14,960
Speaker 1: highest yards after contact per attempt. We'll get there's some

1449
01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:17,920
Speaker 1: missing wide receivers, a big missing wide receiver. Well I won't.

1450
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:20,040
Speaker 1: It's Chris o'lave. We should all know that by now,

1451
01:13:20,040 --> 01:13:22,320
Speaker 1: so there's gonna be some targets to go around estimate

1452
01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:25,000
Speaker 1: can catch. So I like estimate a lot in this game,

1453
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:27,120
Speaker 1: in all fourmats. And I don't know if I like

1454
01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:31,000
Speaker 1: Kevin Austin Junior. I never knew about Kevin Austin Junior

1455
01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:34,400
Speaker 1: until I prepped for the show. But he appears to

1456
01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:36,519
Speaker 1: be the wide receiver one going to this game for

1457
01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:41,160
Speaker 1: the Saints thirty four hundred on DraftKings. Yeah, why not love?

1458
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:44,519
Speaker 1: I love a starring wide out for that price tag.

1459
01:13:44,600 --> 01:13:47,080
Speaker 1: So I'll throw a dart on Kevin Austin Junior. But

1460
01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:50,320
Speaker 1: you can throw a bomb at Juwan Johnson and I

1461
01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:52,000
Speaker 1: mean that in a good way and give him four

1462
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:55,360
Speaker 1: stars here. A lot more targets should be in the

1463
01:13:55,680 --> 01:13:58,479
Speaker 1: in the the cards for Johnson with no Chris o'lave

1464
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:02,479
Speaker 1: six catches forty six yards in the first meeting against

1465
01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:06,000
Speaker 1: the Falcons. That was back when when the Falcons were

1466
01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:11,920
Speaker 1: brutal against the tight end position. Since then, the Falcons

1467
01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:14,240
Speaker 1: have surrendered a touchdown to a tight end in two

1468
01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 1: of their last three games, and nineteen catches two hundred

1469
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:20,200
Speaker 1: and twenty five yards to tight ends over their last

1470
01:14:20,200 --> 01:14:23,759
Speaker 1: two games. So Juwan Johnson in line for a monster

1471
01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:27,439
Speaker 1: game and Tyler Shuck, who is now the leader in

1472
01:14:27,479 --> 01:14:31,040
Speaker 1: the clubhouse for Offensive Rookie of the Year. Kind of

1473
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:33,120
Speaker 1: wild since he's only played like half the season, but

1474
01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:35,960
Speaker 1: I'm given two stars here. I would give him three

1475
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:39,240
Speaker 1: if Olave was playing, but Olave is not two hundred

1476
01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:43,120
Speaker 1: and forty three scoreless passing yards in the first meeting.

1477
01:14:43,160 --> 01:14:46,120
Speaker 1: But Shucks kind of He's fine in his way in

1478
01:14:46,160 --> 01:14:47,920
Speaker 1: this game, and I wish he had a Chris o'lave.

1479
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:51,320
Speaker 1: But I just think he's gonna put something together indoors

1480
01:14:51,320 --> 01:14:53,080
Speaker 1: in a game where the Falcons are probably gonna put

1481
01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:54,640
Speaker 1: up some points. We'll find out in a second, but

1482
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:56,280
Speaker 1: I think that the Saints will try to keep pace,

1483
01:14:56,320 --> 01:14:58,160
Speaker 1: So I'll give Shuck the two stars.

1484
01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:03,720
Speaker 2: Interesting with Shuck for OZ, what have we got with

1485
01:15:03,760 --> 01:15:04,960
Speaker 2: the Atlanta Falcons.

1486
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:07,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, so, you know, the Bucks, if they end up

1487
01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:10,160
Speaker 4: winning on Saturday, you know they're gonna be paying very

1488
01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:12,519
Speaker 4: close attention to this game because the Falcons, you know,

1489
01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:15,519
Speaker 4: could play spoiler, uh, you know, to the Bucks if

1490
01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:17,839
Speaker 4: the Bucks end up beating the Panthers. If the Falcons

1491
01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:19,559
Speaker 4: beat the Saints and the Bucks win, the Bucks would

1492
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 4: actually end up missing the playoffs and the Panthers would

1493
01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:24,680
Speaker 4: end up winning the Vision even with the loss. I

1494
01:15:24,680 --> 01:15:27,000
Speaker 4: think I got that right, Brian, what do you think?

1495
01:15:27,720 --> 01:15:29,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, you nailed it. And I will say I think

1496
01:15:29,520 --> 01:15:32,240
Speaker 1: nothing will make the Bucks will or I'm sorry, the

1497
01:15:32,240 --> 01:15:35,160
Speaker 1: Falcons will want to ruin the Bucks day because you know, again,

1498
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,720
Speaker 1: if the Panthers win, there's nothing the Falcons can do.

1499
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:40,360
Speaker 1: But nothing would make the Falcons happier than to knock

1500
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:43,320
Speaker 1: the Bucks back out of the playoffs essentially, So.

1501
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:48,400
Speaker 4: I got that right this time around. We'll fumble early

1502
01:15:48,439 --> 01:15:50,800
Speaker 4: on the early on the show, it was. It was

1503
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:53,759
Speaker 4: kind of kind of funny anyway. Now both Drake London

1504
01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:55,959
Speaker 4: and Coyle Pits are going into the game with questionable

1505
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:59,920
Speaker 4: tags after limited practices this week. You know, Rahie Morris

1506
01:16:00,280 --> 01:16:02,600
Speaker 4: that he expects both of them to play, so you know,

1507
01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:04,640
Speaker 4: I'm firing them up, you know, in whatever format you're

1508
01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:07,599
Speaker 4: choosing to play in for Week eighteen, I'm giving three

1509
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:10,280
Speaker 4: stars for each of them. It's reluctant though, I'm not

1510
01:16:10,320 --> 01:16:13,080
Speaker 4: gonna lie, like London would normally be a four star play,

1511
01:16:13,160 --> 01:16:15,160
Speaker 4: but he's dealing with the PCL. You know, killed a

1512
01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:18,439
Speaker 4: lot of fantasy hopes and dreams in the championship last

1513
01:16:18,479 --> 01:16:21,200
Speaker 4: week for most of you guys, and I'm I'm tended

1514
01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:22,880
Speaker 4: to just give him two stars because of it, and

1515
01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:25,599
Speaker 4: also because the Saints have allowed the fourth fewest fantasy

1516
01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:29,240
Speaker 4: points to perimeter wide receivers over the last four weeks,

1517
01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:32,120
Speaker 4: and Kyle Pitts obviously killing a lot of fantasy hopes

1518
01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:34,640
Speaker 4: and dreams as well, so you know, you got to

1519
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:37,439
Speaker 4: have some kahonas to keep Kyle Pitts in your lineup

1520
01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:40,760
Speaker 4: this week. And Bijon, you know, obviously four star play

1521
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:44,400
Speaker 4: after single handily just the opposite, single handedly winning people

1522
01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:47,040
Speaker 4: fantasy championships last week and having one of the best

1523
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:51,280
Speaker 4: Fantasy playoff runs of any player this year. The Saints

1524
01:16:51,320 --> 01:16:54,040
Speaker 4: are allowing the seventh most rushing yards to running backs

1525
01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:56,360
Speaker 4: this year, so you know you can you can have

1526
01:16:56,439 --> 01:16:59,000
Speaker 4: that in your pocket going into the weekend. And then

1527
01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:01,920
Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins, you know, one star play here with his

1528
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:04,559
Speaker 4: weapons banged up a little bit and against the Saints

1529
01:17:04,560 --> 01:17:06,759
Speaker 4: defense only giving up one hundred and ninety three passing

1530
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:09,960
Speaker 4: yards per game, that's fourth best in the NFL. Then

1531
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:11,960
Speaker 4: that's all I got in the Falcons.

1532
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:14,680
Speaker 2: Now, Foraz you stay right there because i'manna get right

1533
01:17:14,720 --> 01:17:17,200
Speaker 2: back to you in the second. But you know, for

1534
01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:20,439
Speaker 2: everybody out there who is playing in a week eighteen

1535
01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:24,080
Speaker 2: championship and has Bjon Robinson, I know they're like, come on, bro,

1536
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:27,479
Speaker 2: just one more week, Just one more week, Just one

1537
01:17:27,560 --> 01:17:32,680
Speaker 2: more week, all right. Fas Kansas City Chiefs lost Vegas Raiders,

1538
01:17:33,560 --> 01:17:36,360
Speaker 2: not familiar territory for the Chiefs this late in the season,

1539
01:17:36,400 --> 01:17:38,559
Speaker 2: but the game still must be played. What do you

1540
01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:40,240
Speaker 2: got on the Kansas City side of the ball?

1541
01:17:40,600 --> 01:17:43,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, Chris Oladokin, you know, getting the start

1542
01:17:43,520 --> 01:17:46,559
Speaker 4: for the Chiefs through for one hundred eleven yards and

1543
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:48,880
Speaker 4: sixty six yards in the last two games. Like, you're

1544
01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:52,320
Speaker 4: not looking at much production in this game, even if

1545
01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:55,800
Speaker 4: it's against the Raiders. Zero stars for him this week.

1546
01:17:56,520 --> 01:17:59,280
Speaker 4: You can't really trust Travis kelce either a whole lot.

1547
01:17:59,320 --> 01:18:01,360
Speaker 4: You know, I'm gonna give him two stars though, just

1548
01:18:01,360 --> 01:18:04,479
Speaker 4: for the fact that number one, he's Travis Kelcey and

1549
01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:07,320
Speaker 4: this could be his last career game potentially. You know,

1550
01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:09,760
Speaker 4: they probably want to, you know, set him out right.

1551
01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:12,880
Speaker 4: He also trails Jason Witten for second all time in

1552
01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:15,720
Speaker 4: receiving yards among tight ends. In NFL history by only

1553
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:18,240
Speaker 4: fifty six yards, so I'd imagine they would try to

1554
01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:20,719
Speaker 4: get him there. So there's a little bit of incentive

1555
01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:24,280
Speaker 4: there for Travis Kelcey to have a somewhat decent game. Xavi,

1556
01:18:24,360 --> 01:18:26,880
Speaker 4: you're worthy dealing with an illness all week has in

1557
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:31,400
Speaker 4: practice apparently he's actually named he's actually doubtful to play,

1558
01:18:31,479 --> 01:18:33,320
Speaker 4: so he's probably not going to be in there. So

1559
01:18:33,479 --> 01:18:36,880
Speaker 4: zero stars all around for anyone not named Travis kelce

1560
01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:40,160
Speaker 4: And this backfield has been split over these last few games,

1561
01:18:40,200 --> 01:18:44,080
Speaker 4: mostly between Kareem Hunt and Isaiah Pacheco, with Brishard Smith

1562
01:18:44,160 --> 01:18:48,080
Speaker 4: sprinkled in a little bit, you know, Oldoking. Actually you

1563
01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:51,400
Speaker 4: know his touch his first touchdown pass went to Brishard

1564
01:18:51,400 --> 01:18:55,240
Speaker 4: Smith is actually both their first touchdown, first career touchdown.

1565
01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:56,920
Speaker 4: So they're trying to figure out how to split that

1566
01:18:57,000 --> 01:19:00,559
Speaker 4: game ball as we speak. But with a stair the offense,

1567
01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:02,680
Speaker 4: I just stay away, you know, zero stars here as well,

1568
01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:05,120
Speaker 4: Like if you're playing anyone, it's gonna be Kareem Hunt

1569
01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:07,519
Speaker 4: since he's the one getting the goal on opportunities. But

1570
01:19:07,600 --> 01:19:10,080
Speaker 4: that just might be tough to come by for this offense.

1571
01:19:10,160 --> 01:19:13,080
Speaker 2: Right now, all right, John, what's going. What's going down

1572
01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:14,400
Speaker 2: with the Las Vegas Raiders?

1573
01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:18,160
Speaker 3: Oh? Nothing good? Woof all right, you gotta start with

1574
01:19:18,200 --> 01:19:21,120
Speaker 3: the team total. It's at fifteen for a reason. No Geno,

1575
01:19:21,680 --> 01:19:26,040
Speaker 3: no Brock Bowers, no Colton Miller. Maybe outside of Gino,

1576
01:19:26,120 --> 01:19:28,400
Speaker 3: those are their probably two best players in offense except

1577
01:19:28,439 --> 01:19:31,759
Speaker 3: for maybe Ashton Genty, maybe the one Raider you would play.

1578
01:19:31,840 --> 01:19:35,320
Speaker 3: I think volume is worth anything. It's worth two stars

1579
01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:39,280
Speaker 3: here because he's got over twelve hundred scrimming yards, one

1580
01:19:39,320 --> 01:19:41,880
Speaker 3: hundred percent of the goal to go attempts, and fifteen

1581
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:43,920
Speaker 3: percent of the team target share, which could only go

1582
01:19:44,040 --> 01:19:46,719
Speaker 3: up without Bowers. So you kind of hold your nose

1583
01:19:46,800 --> 01:19:51,040
Speaker 3: and start Ashton Genty. Here's another funny wide receiver stat.

1584
01:19:51,439 --> 01:19:55,559
Speaker 3: The Raiders have one top twenty five wide receiver finish

1585
01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:59,240
Speaker 3: since the buye as a team. They don't have a

1586
01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:03,240
Speaker 3: single time twenty five finish. These are including bye week's people.

1587
01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:08,000
Speaker 3: That's that's patently insane. The last one was Trey Tucker

1588
01:20:08,720 --> 01:20:12,200
Speaker 3: was the wide receiver seventeen in Week eleven. Just sad.

1589
01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:13,680
Speaker 3: But I do have a dark horse play for you.

1590
01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:16,880
Speaker 3: That would be Jack Besh. So this is isolated to

1591
01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:19,599
Speaker 3: the Kenny Pickett snaps which also just keep the clothes

1592
01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:21,960
Speaker 3: pin on your nose through this one twenty six percent

1593
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:24,400
Speaker 3: target per route more than one and a half yards paroute.

1594
01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:26,680
Speaker 3: Those kind of check the boxes. Besh has been a

1595
01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:29,200
Speaker 3: bit of a hidden man. Maybe they'll look to give

1596
01:20:29,240 --> 01:20:31,599
Speaker 3: him some run. The other player I would think about

1597
01:20:31,600 --> 01:20:33,519
Speaker 3: starting is Mike Mayer. He went nine for eighty nine

1598
01:20:33,640 --> 01:20:35,960
Speaker 3: last week without Bronx, so he's always a pop. I

1599
01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:38,679
Speaker 3: wouldn't put more than one star on Kenny Pickett. He's

1600
01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:41,360
Speaker 3: twenty seven for forty one point eight five one one

1601
01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:44,400
Speaker 3: on the season, which is terrible. He has a seven

1602
01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:48,360
Speaker 3: point three career a dot which maybe lends itself to

1603
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:52,560
Speaker 3: the genty and Mike Meyer PPR scam if everything is

1604
01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:55,479
Speaker 3: shortened underneath. The Kansas City defense has been really good,

1605
01:20:55,960 --> 01:20:58,720
Speaker 3: but after the monumental run, this team has gone on

1606
01:20:58,840 --> 01:21:01,120
Speaker 3: for whatever the better part of a deck. I don't

1607
01:21:01,160 --> 01:21:04,320
Speaker 3: think Andy Reid is gonna be looking again Chris Jones hurt.

1608
01:21:04,360 --> 01:21:07,400
Speaker 3: That would be sick. So I think Kansas City is

1609
01:21:07,520 --> 01:21:10,000
Speaker 3: just gonna be playing second and third stringers against second

1610
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:12,360
Speaker 3: and third stringers. You don't want really anything to do

1611
01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:14,120
Speaker 3: with this, But again, Meyer, if you're looking for a

1612
01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:16,559
Speaker 3: cheap tight end and again maybe jenty if you're looking

1613
01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:18,680
Speaker 3: for a touchdown, but it's gonna be really tough to

1614
01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:20,040
Speaker 3: get beyond any Raiders.

1615
01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:25,280
Speaker 2: Obviously, all right, final game of the regular season that

1616
01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:28,360
Speaker 2: we will break down on Fantasy Football Weekly is the

1617
01:21:28,439 --> 01:21:31,080
Speaker 2: Indianapolis Coats. Boy, tell you things were all good. Just

1618
01:21:31,080 --> 01:21:35,280
Speaker 2: a week ago at the Houston Texans. John went back

1619
01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:37,960
Speaker 2: on you, my man set us off with the indian

1620
01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:39,839
Speaker 2: napland well.

1621
01:21:40,120 --> 01:21:41,680
Speaker 3: If I would have known you were gonna pitch me

1622
01:21:41,760 --> 01:21:44,160
Speaker 3: Indy after the Raiders, I would have told everyone to

1623
01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:46,280
Speaker 3: just keep the clothes pin on your nose, man, you know,

1624
01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:50,400
Speaker 3: just go home. For Indianapolis Colts, first team since nineteen

1625
01:21:50,479 --> 01:21:53,880
Speaker 3: ninety two to start eight and two and miss the playoffs,

1626
01:21:53,880 --> 01:21:55,760
Speaker 3: they have a team total of fifteen. They're gonna be

1627
01:21:55,800 --> 01:21:59,000
Speaker 3: going to Riley Leonard. This is just really bad. Jonathan

1628
01:21:59,040 --> 01:22:01,760
Speaker 3: Taylor probably a lot Ashton genty. You're starting it because

1629
01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:03,840
Speaker 3: of volume. If they get near the end zone, he's

1630
01:22:03,880 --> 01:22:08,639
Speaker 3: the guy. Another kind of weird isolated quarterback stat, Michael

1631
01:22:08,680 --> 01:22:12,280
Speaker 3: Pittman had a thirty six percent target per route with

1632
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:15,720
Speaker 3: Riley Leonard. Sometimes we get backupstead just know the assignment

1633
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:18,719
Speaker 3: Pepper the wide receiver one and see if he comes

1634
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:20,960
Speaker 3: down with the ball. We know Pittman can still win

1635
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:23,800
Speaker 3: those consted catches. I wouldn't put more than one star

1636
01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:27,479
Speaker 3: on Warren the usage all the play action and RPO

1637
01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:30,320
Speaker 3: stuff where he was able to find catch and release

1638
01:22:30,360 --> 01:22:33,759
Speaker 3: success that's gone the way of the DODO without Daniel Jones.

1639
01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:36,360
Speaker 3: You get back on Warren for next year. I covered

1640
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:39,439
Speaker 3: Leonard Houston d number one in points per game, yards

1641
01:22:39,439 --> 01:22:43,320
Speaker 3: per game, EPA, snaps per splash play and pressure rate,

1642
01:22:43,360 --> 01:22:45,519
Speaker 3: all the things that kind of drive you man. Houston

1643
01:22:45,600 --> 01:22:48,439
Speaker 3: is playing, so the cults are in a lot, a

1644
01:22:48,479 --> 01:22:50,080
Speaker 3: lot of trouble. Just get away from me.

1645
01:22:50,120 --> 01:22:53,720
Speaker 2: Indeed this weekend, Yeah, it's gonna be a tough one

1646
01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:56,720
Speaker 2: for the Indianapolis coast this weekend. Hopefully you don't have

1647
01:22:56,760 --> 01:23:00,800
Speaker 2: to rely on them too much. My man, bring us

1648
01:23:00,840 --> 01:23:03,160
Speaker 2: home brother with the Houston Texans.

1649
01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:06,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, before I do that, I got a lament what

1650
01:23:06,400 --> 01:23:09,760
Speaker 1: could have been for the Colts with Indiana Jones at

1651
01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:14,240
Speaker 1: quarterback Daniel Jones of course, and my Super Bowl, my

1652
01:23:14,240 --> 01:23:17,559
Speaker 1: my five hundred to one MVP ticket that I made

1653
01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:20,479
Speaker 1: way back in April that was looking looking pretty nice

1654
01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:23,400
Speaker 1: before Old Danny Danny Dimes went down. But anyway, maybe

1655
01:23:23,439 --> 01:23:26,160
Speaker 1: next year we'll see uh Indiana Jones back in action.

1656
01:23:26,240 --> 01:23:29,360
Speaker 1: We go, we'll see the Houston Texans this week and beyond.

1657
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:32,719
Speaker 1: They are going to the playoffs. They are somewhat motivated

1658
01:23:32,760 --> 01:23:35,679
Speaker 1: here that they can improve their positioning a little bit,

1659
01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:39,360
Speaker 1: so I think we'll see a full go from the Texans.

1660
01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:42,400
Speaker 1: So starting with Woody Marks, I'm gonna give them three stars.

1661
01:23:42,400 --> 01:23:45,320
Speaker 1: Saw twenty touches last week. Still the guy. It seems

1662
01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:49,040
Speaker 1: Jahar Jordan is starting to eat into his workload a

1663
01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:52,280
Speaker 1: little bit, maybe eats into it a little more, uh

1664
01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:54,080
Speaker 1: if they try to rest Marks up a little bit.

1665
01:23:54,080 --> 01:23:57,800
Speaker 1: But again, they're they're mainly motivated, uh to win this game.

1666
01:23:57,840 --> 01:24:00,599
Speaker 1: The Texans are, so I'll get three stars Mars. Even

1667
01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:03,439
Speaker 1: though it's not a great matchup on paper. I will

1668
01:24:03,479 --> 01:24:06,880
Speaker 1: mention that Nick Chubb needs like one hundred and twenty

1669
01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:10,559
Speaker 1: six rushing yards to earn a pretty nice chunk of change,

1670
01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:12,559
Speaker 1: But I don't think we're gonna see that from Chubb.

1671
01:24:12,600 --> 01:24:15,559
Speaker 1: Maybe this game was totally meaningless for the Texans, but

1672
01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:18,719
Speaker 1: it is not. So we're not gonna talk about Nickchubb anymore.

1673
01:24:18,760 --> 01:24:23,599
Speaker 1: But three stars for Woody Marks. Four stars for Nico Collins,

1674
01:24:23,600 --> 01:24:28,120
Speaker 1: who just absolutely owns the Indianapolis Colts here his last

1675
01:24:28,160 --> 01:24:31,439
Speaker 1: four games, starting out with the last meeting in week thirteen,

1676
01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:33,920
Speaker 1: five catches or ninety eight yards, then the three games

1677
01:24:33,920 --> 01:24:37,200
Speaker 1: before that six catches one hundred and seventeen yards, nine

1678
01:24:37,280 --> 01:24:39,879
Speaker 1: catches one hundred and ninety five yards and a touchdown.

1679
01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:43,360
Speaker 1: Seven catches one hundred and forty six yards in a touchdown.

1680
01:24:43,439 --> 01:24:46,320
Speaker 1: Nico loves playing the Colts. You'll love playing him this

1681
01:24:46,360 --> 01:24:49,599
Speaker 1: week as you have all seasons. Of four stars on Nico,

1682
01:24:49,720 --> 01:24:52,639
Speaker 1: I got two stars on Jayden Higgins. He had five

1683
01:24:52,720 --> 01:24:56,200
Speaker 1: catches sixty five yards in the first meeting and he's

1684
01:24:56,200 --> 01:24:59,280
Speaker 1: coming on strong. And since Week thirteen, the Colts defense

1685
01:24:59,320 --> 01:25:02,599
Speaker 1: against perimeter wide receivers have allowed the fourth most receiving

1686
01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:06,120
Speaker 1: yards per game to boundary wideouts in the thirteenth most

1687
01:25:06,520 --> 01:25:09,599
Speaker 1: PPR points. So I like Jaden Higgins here in both

1688
01:25:09,720 --> 01:25:13,800
Speaker 1: seasonal and daily formats. Also like Dalton Schultz a lot

1689
01:25:13,840 --> 01:25:17,759
Speaker 1: gonna give him three stars. Seven catches fifty five yards

1690
01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:20,439
Speaker 1: in the first meeting. The Colts are been given up

1691
01:25:20,439 --> 01:25:26,120
Speaker 1: to tight ends lately, so Schultz certainly startable with three stars.

1692
01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:30,040
Speaker 1: And I will give CJ. Stroud three stars, did not

1693
01:25:30,200 --> 01:25:33,439
Speaker 1: throw for a touchdown in the first meeting, had two

1694
01:25:33,479 --> 01:25:36,599
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy six passing yards. Though I just call

1695
01:25:36,680 --> 01:25:38,680
Speaker 1: this a gut feeling, but I think he pads those

1696
01:25:38,680 --> 01:25:40,640
Speaker 1: stats a little bit with a couple of touchdowns in

1697
01:25:40,680 --> 01:25:43,200
Speaker 1: this game. So I like Stroud to go for two

1698
01:25:43,240 --> 01:25:46,840
Speaker 1: fifty plus and two scores in this one. And the Texans.

1699
01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:50,639
Speaker 1: Most won't say it, but AFC is wide open behind

1700
01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:54,240
Speaker 1: that defense. I'm gonna put a little bet on them

1701
01:25:54,280 --> 01:25:55,720
Speaker 1: to win the AFC.

1702
01:25:55,960 --> 01:25:58,240
Speaker 3: He thinks, yeah, they could run all the way with

1703
01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:00,280
Speaker 3: that with that team, these are the kind of things

1704
01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:02,000
Speaker 3: you're looking for. I'd like a little more strength in

1705
01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:04,760
Speaker 3: the run game, but we've seen Marx pop Corey. I

1706
01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:06,519
Speaker 3: was wondering with a little bit of Timmey I've left,

1707
01:26:06,520 --> 01:26:09,880
Speaker 3: I could do a shameless plug on the fantasy life side.

1708
01:26:09,960 --> 01:26:13,639
Speaker 3: I did a review of the numbers of the fantasy

1709
01:26:13,680 --> 01:26:16,400
Speaker 3: season from like a metal level, and I found over

1710
01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:20,040
Speaker 3: like a dozen stats that were the highest or the

1711
01:26:20,080 --> 01:26:23,559
Speaker 3: lowest in twenty five years from a metal level, and

1712
01:26:23,600 --> 01:26:26,559
Speaker 3: it really could help shape how you approach the league,

1713
01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:28,800
Speaker 3: your leagues going forward, and just fantasy football in general

1714
01:26:28,840 --> 01:26:32,600
Speaker 3: about how zone coverages and blitzes are affecting drive efficiency

1715
01:26:32,680 --> 01:26:35,639
Speaker 3: and distances and stuff, and it really came out really interesting,

1716
01:26:35,680 --> 01:26:37,479
Speaker 3: So you just check it out an NB Fantasy Life

1717
01:26:37,560 --> 01:26:39,599
Speaker 3: or on my Twitter handle. I hate to plug this stuff,

1718
01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:41,800
Speaker 3: but I always like to do quick recaps before we

1719
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:45,599
Speaker 3: turn the page for the new season while it's still fresh.

1720
01:26:45,760 --> 01:26:48,519
Speaker 2: No doubt, good stuff, right then. Definitely appreciate you bringing

1721
01:26:48,560 --> 01:26:51,639
Speaker 2: that up and always appreciate the hard work. Appreciate each
