Speaker 1: not missed the show in twenty seven years, and I'm

12
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: not letting COVID take my streak. I've got it. I'm

13
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,639
Speaker 1: quarantined at home. My audio does not sound good. Hopefully

Speaker 1: my fantasy advice will I sound like him in the closet.

15
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 1: I sound like him, nasal Uh. You may hear occasional

16
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: flegm over the course of the next two hours, but

17
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: the fantasy season motors on, and so do we, guys.

18
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: We are not missing the opportunity to pass along salient

19
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: fantasy football advice. Absolutely and don't omit the very important

20
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: fact that you are vaccinated and both both. Aaron Rodgers

21
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: has informed me I am I am also immunized. Little

22
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 1: did I know until now. Isn't that? That is fantastic news, wonderful? Yeah, um,

23
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 1: before we dive into all of our matchups, and of

24
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: course we've got three tough questions as normal, we've got

25
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 1: premature speculation at the end of the show that we'll

26
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: get to where we give you guys to pick up

27
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: this week that we think will be high value targets.

28
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: Next week we've got to take a chance on me.

29
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: But I want to spend a minute on Odell Beckham.

30
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: Next Monday, Waivers will run for the NFL and in

31
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: all probability, although not necessarily, Odell Beckham will have a

32
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: new team. Tell me your thoughts about the value for

33
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: Odell Beckham. Should he be held, should he be dropped,

34
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: and if you think there's a chance he can resurrect

35
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 1: his career, well, personally, I'm still holding, and I'll hold

36
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: through the weekends. He where he ends up, and he

37
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: likely would only go to a real life contender, one

38
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 1: would think. Personally, I would love to see him go

39
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: to Detroit and just soak up garbage time on the

40
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: waiver priority list, right they are The Saints is an

41
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: intriguing landing spot now that Michael Thomas has pretty much

42
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: done for the year. But the quarterback situation not too

43
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: nice in New Orleans. And I don't know the packers,

44
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: those seem kind of like the top three. I don't

45
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: think Detroit will get him. But that's that's my ideal

46
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 1: landing spot for Odell Beckham, believe it or not. And

47
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: you know, last week on the show, I said that

48
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: it was probably a good idea to see what O'Dell

49
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: does last week and then maybe sabotage drop him. Well,

50
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 1: the Browns listen to me, there we go brown It

51
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: is obviously listening to the show. Kevin Stefanski big fan, Yeah,

52
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: big fan of the show, no doubt um. And you

53
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: know there's I think there's a we we want to

54
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: believe that there's a scenario he finds himself on a contender.

55
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 1: I don't think a bottom feeder is gonna want anything

56
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: to do with this. The part that's gonna make this

57
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: money is reputationally where Odell Beckham is is in a

58
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: very very bad spot and these and teams talk to

59
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: each other all the time. You know, there are friends

60
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: across teams and they everybody knows what Odell Beckham has

61
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: put that Brown's franchise through, and I think there's a

62
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: chance he doesn't clear that. No team, no team takes

63
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: him in waivers at all, clears waivers, and then maybe

64
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: Beckham can find his way to a team he wants

65
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: to be on bias some other route on a really

66
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: low end contract. So it'll be fascinating to see. But

67
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 1: I still think there's a chance that Odell Beckham doesn't play. Yeah,

68
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: there is an outside chance of that, but like you said,

69
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: there's probably just enough talent there that people are gonna

70
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: want to take a little bit of a chance on Odell.

71
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: Detroit is such. Is there the fire already? They gotta

72
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: sell tickets. This is the perfect perfect marriage in my mind,

73
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: Come on, Detroit signed O d B. Yeah, I think

74
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: you want that to happen more than that's going to happen,

75
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: It's true. Let's jump into our matchups, beginning with the

76
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 1: Broncos taking on the Cowboys. Matt Um this is a

77
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: Broncos offense that has been inconsistent at late and Teddy

78
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: Bridgewater really not playing it really for the last month,

79
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: not playing at a particularly high level. And he's they've

80
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: got to face a a surging Cowboys defense. Yeah. I

81
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: I only gave Bridgewater a C and it's a low ce.

82
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: Uh He's startable only because the matchup the Cowboys allowing

83
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 1: two or ninety three yards per game in almost two

84
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns per game, has this full compliment to wide

85
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: receivers back for this one, and I kind of like that.

86
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: It's worth noting that Trevon Diggs has allowed the most

87
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: yardage in his coverage this year, and Anthony Round who's

88
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 1: on the other side, has allowed the fourth most yardage

89
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: in the NFL, but the worst corner of them all,

90
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: according to Pro Football, focuses Jordan Lewis, who covers the slot,

91
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: and that will be Jerry Judy spot and it could

92
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: be a shootout or at least a game script that

93
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: favors the past. So I'll give Judy a B. I'll

94
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: give Sutton a B. I'll even give a C grade

95
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: to Tim Patrick on the hopes that he can get going. UH.

96
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: Noah offense currently on the COVID reserve list after a

97
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: positive test on Tuesday, although they're saying there's a slim

98
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: chance he could play, it's not likely and his backup

99
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: Albert Agabnam I can never get that right. Albert, Oh

100
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: just al he's questionable with a knee. There's no tight

101
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: end angle here. So let's talk about the runners, Melvin

102
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: Gordon and Javante Williams. The touch totals are still virtually

103
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,039
Speaker 1: deadlocked between the two runners. Gordon's getting more looks in

104
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: the red zone, though He's had seven touches inside the

105
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: twenty in the last two weeks, compared to one for Javante,

106
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,559
Speaker 1: and outside of Damien Harris having a nice day against

107
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,720
Speaker 1: the cow Cowboys, they've bottled up every other runner, including

108
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook, who is limited to only seventy eight yards

109
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,119
Speaker 1: on eighteen carries last week. Gordon gets the C grade

110
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: because of the red zone. I'm gonna leave Javonte Williams

111
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 1: on the bench, but hope he breaks out soon. On

112
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: the Cowboys side, Dac is back, but it's a difficult

113
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: matchup this week in Denver. I'll give Dak a B

114
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: grade in this one. Only two quarterbacks have topped the

115
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: two seventy yard mark on Denver this year, and only

116
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks have reached two touchdown passes against the Broncos.

117
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: Nobody has reached the three touchdown pass mark against Denver

118
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: since Week nine of last year. Also, his left tackle,

119
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: Tyrn Smith is out this week, but Von Miller, a

120
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: Bronco pass rusher of note, is now a RAM and

121
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: so that kind of evens out a few things on

122
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: the pass rush standpoint. Amari Cooper and Ceedee Lamb. I'm

123
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: giving twin B grades to Cooper and Lamb have been

124
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: dealing with some injuries this week. Cooper has a hamstring,

125
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: Lamb as a sore ankle. Both are slated to play,

126
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: though only four wide receiver have topped the seventy yard

127
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: mark against Denver this year, as the trio of Denver

128
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: corners has been one of the best in the league.

129
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: But Ceedee Lamb will often get the most get the

130
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: best matchup against Ronald Darby, who's allowed hundred and thirteen

131
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: yards and a score just a few weeks ago to

132
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: the combo of Brian Edwards and Henry Ruggs Dalton Schultz.

133
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: He gets a B grade. Jarwin is out this week then,

134
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: and uh Dalton Schultz was already seventh in targets amongst

135
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: tight ends. That's with a bye week for total targets,

136
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: so Denver hasn't allowed a tight end touchdown this season,

137
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: but they did give up some decent days to Mark

138
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: Andrews and Darren Waller earlier this year. Finally, the runners,

139
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: Zeke gets a B. Pollard is the lowest C grade

140
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: I can give, if that's possible. Denver is the most

141
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: neutral running back matchup in the league. They rank fifteen, sixteenth,

142
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: or seventeen in basically every defensive category against opposing runners

143
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: except four receptions. They're very good against receiving backs, which

144
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: hurts Pollard and Zeke, but Pollered a little bit more

145
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: since about two of his touches are through the air.

146
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: Both of these guys are getting worked though a Zeke

147
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: averaging twenty one rushing attempts plus targets per game. Zeke

148
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: has converted his ten rushing attempts inside the ten to

149
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: four touchdowns this year. So I like Zeke quite a

150
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: bit better. And that's all I got charge alright, Not

151
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: bad um, that's a There's a lot of moving parts

152
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: with that one. Well done, O'Brien. Let's go to the

153
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: Patriots taking on the Panthers and for the Patriot side

154
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: of this. Damien Harris is turning into a sledge hammer

155
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: back and I'm fascinated to find out what you think

156
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to do against the Panther's run

157
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: defense that has been a lot more porous lately than

158
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year they have been. I'm

159
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: still a little cautious. I'm gonna be a little cautious

160
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 1: with Damien Harris this week, just to see borderline b grave.

161
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: I'm going with the Sea only played in the snaps

162
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: last week, but he saw twenty three touches, is most

163
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: since Week one. He's clearly the lead back in New England.

164
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: But on paper, for the most part, is a tough

165
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: match up. The Panthers are allowing less than one hundred

166
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: convoy yards per game to the position and just three

167
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: total touchdowns all season. Brandon Bold and romand Romandre Stephenson,

168
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: You're gonna factor in for passing work. So it's got

169
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: a safe se on Harris this week. It's a It's

170
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: a much easier matchup for wide receivers against the Panthers,

171
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 1: So I'll give Jacoby Myers a b averaging five or

172
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: eight and a half targets this year in a good spot,

173
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: Carolina has allowed four wide receiver touchdowns over the last

174
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: three weeks. So is this are you calling it right here? Sure?

175
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 1: Why not? I'll put it out there in the universe.

176
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: Jacobe Myers scores his first career NFL touchdown on Sunday.

177
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: I think I've called that about four times this year already.

178
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't work yet, but I'm gonna throw a couple

179
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: of sea darts at Kendrick Born and Nelson Agila. During

180
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: that same three weeks span where the Panthers have allowed

181
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: four wide receiver touchdowns, are also allowing seventeen catches and

182
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: one eight yards per game to the position. So if

183
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: you're in desperate need, you can throw a dart at

184
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: Kendrick Borne or Nelson Agil. I like Born a little

185
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 1: more between the two. Uh, No dart for Hunter Henry,

186
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 1: Just gonna give him a solid See been running hot

187
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: lately with touchdowns, and four of his last five games

188
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: he's basically doubled up on the pass routes run Compared

189
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: to John who Smith. The Panthers haven't surrendered a lot

190
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: to opposing tight ends, but they have yielded the sixth

191
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: most targets of the position, so Henry will have opportunities

192
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: to produce a safe c for him. But Mac Jones,

193
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: I gotta put him on the bench this week. I

194
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: know he gave most of his past catchers a starting grade,

195
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean they all come through. It just

196
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: means each one has the potential to The Panthers are

197
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: allowing just two passing yards and one and a half

198
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns for pery game, So I got Mac on

199
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: the bench in this one. Over to the Carolina side

200
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: where it gets real messy, And of course we're gonna

201
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: start with Christian McCaffrey, who might make his return from

202
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: the hamstring injury shaping up to be a game time decision.

203
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: We'll go under the assumption he goes, and if he plays,

204
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be in limited fashion. He's not gonna be

205
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: be a bell cow by any means. It's almost better

206
00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: off for fantasy purposes if he doesn't play. It's a

207
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: good matchup on paper for the Panthers backs. The Patriots

208
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: are allowing the ninth most rushing yards, seventh most receptions,

209
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: and fifth most receiving yards per game to the position.

210
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: Five different backs have posted at least five receptions over

211
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: the last four games. Uh, the Patriots last four games.

212
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: That is, so if McCaffrey plays, I will give him

213
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: in Cuba Hubbard to see. I think they split the work. Uh.

214
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: If McCaffrey is out, I'll bump Cuba Hubbard up to

215
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: a B based on volume alone. Willis have to see

216
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: what happens on Sunday with that. Uh to the wide

217
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: receivers starting with d J. Moore, and basically we're gonna

218
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: end end with d J Moore two. But I'm gonna

219
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: give d J. Moore a B. New England is allowing

220
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: one yards per game to wide receivers over the past

221
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: five games, which is the ninth most, and they have

222
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 1: surrendered multiple touchdowns to wide receivers and three of their

223
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 1: past four games by making main main concern is a

224
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: game plan to stop d J. Moore if Christian McCaffrey

225
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: is out, because he's clearly the most dangerous weapon on Carolina.

226
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: So just a B grade for more, not an A.

227
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: And Robby Anderson got to put him on the bench

228
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: just one target last week. Zero catches twenty targets across

229
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: his two games prior, but turned those into just six

230
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: catches for twenty five yards. We gotta see more from

231
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: Robbie before we contemplate starting him. He's on the bench. Obviously,

232
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: the Carolina that tight ends are on the bench because

233
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: they don't have Dan Arnold anymore. And lastly, Sam Donald,

234
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 1: also pretty much a game time decision, got knocked out

235
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 1: last week with the concussion. But either way, he's on

236
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: the bench even if he's clearly on the bench if

237
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: he doesn't play, but if you play, is I got

238
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: him on the bench? Hasn't throw him for multiple scores

239
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: or hasn't even topped ten passing yards since Week four? Wolf,

240
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: I'm done, no doubt. That is a That is a

241
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: tough spot for sure. Um That passing offense is just

242
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 1: not the same as it used to be at all.

243
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: What is the same is we're still creating new guillotine leagues.

244
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: At guillotine leagues dot Com, there's still half a season

245
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: left to play, and if you've been a drink by

246
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,200
Speaker 1: the format, you've only got a couple more weeks to

247
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: get in on the action. Guillotine leagues dot Com the

248
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: freshest new way to play to see sports. When we

249
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: come back, take a chance on me not nine players

250
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 1: not normally in your starting line up. Many of them

251
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: are startable this week. We'll tell you who they are

252
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. It's take

253
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: a chance on me. Fantasy Football Weekly's opportunity to help

254
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: you find nine players that you would not normally start,

255
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: but you can this week. Many of these guys are

256
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 1: available on the waiver wire. We can get at the

257
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: quarterback position, and Matt Harrison Daniel Jones is my Uh,

258
00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: take a chance on the quarterback. It's always a bit

259
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 1: over racking starting Dan Dimes, but the Raiders tend to

260
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: play towards his strengths. They've allowed multiple touchdown passes and

261
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 1: three of the last four. The only one who couldn't

262
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: accomplish that was justin fields and he doesn't do that anyway. Plus,

263
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 1: Jones is a runner. He's averaging thirty yards per game

264
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: on the ground on six attempts per game, and the

265
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: Raiders have allowed the third most quarterback rushing attempts and

266
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: the sixth most rushing yards to opposing quarterbacks. So fire

267
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: up Danny Dimes. All right, Brian, you're take a chance

268
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: at me quarterback. I got to Rod, don't call me Tyrod. Taylor,

269
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: even though Trod doesn't really care what you call him,

270
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: but I call him to Rod. But he's making his return.

271
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: He'll be at Miami this week. Uh, he'll get the

272
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: start coming back from the hamstring injury. To Rod. Looked

273
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: really good to start the season before he went down,

274
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: and hopefully can make it through this game because it's

275
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: a great matchup for him. The Dolphins are allowing more

276
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 1: than three passing yards and two passing touchdowns per game

277
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: in Miami. Just has to be running on fumes right

278
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: now after for going thereby following the London game if

279
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: you school, which is kind of weird. They're they're they're exhausted.

280
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: So I like to rout this week. I do too.

281
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: I think it's a sneaky play. Um, I'll be honest.

282
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: I originally had Taysom Hill in this spot under the

283
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: assumption that he was gonna be the quarterback of choice

284
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: over Trevor Simeon, which I did not see coming. And

285
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: you know, if you want a DFS flyer, you could

286
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: still try Taysom Hill under the assumption that he ends

287
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: up getting some time in this one. But instead I'm

288
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: gonna pivot to Jordan's love. We don't have a lot

289
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 1: of data points on Love except he looked good in

290
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: the preseason. But what we do know is that Love's

291
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: first start comes at a great time. He gets back

292
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 1: Davante Adams, al Lazard, Marcus Velda Scantling, and Kansas City's

293
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: got problems all over the field, especially the cornerbacks struggling,

294
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: Lugarious Snead, Mike Hughes to our various ward all of

295
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: them having trouble. Snead is a lot of the tenth

296
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: most yards in his coverage, and then when they go deep,

297
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: they get to face Daniel Sorenson, the safety is allowed

298
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: more yards than any player at his position and a

299
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: perfect assle rating in his coverage. Jordan's Love. You know,

300
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: the Packers find ways that make good things happen for themselves.

301
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if he comes out with a

302
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: solid game here. Let's go to the running back position.

303
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: Matt I kind of copped out on this one and

304
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: took all of the Philly running backs. Yeah, so Jordan Howard.

305
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,840
Speaker 1: By the way, he's not currently on Philly's fifty three

306
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: man roster. He's a practice squad player. But there's this

307
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: weird rule in the NFL, where you can protect a

308
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: few practice squad players and then even elevate them to

309
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: the game day roster, but you can only do it twice.

310
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: So this will be Howard's last game on the Eagles

311
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: unless they signed him to the roster. Now, last week

312
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: he did play. That was his first game of the year,

313
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: and he ended with twelve carries fifty seven yards and

314
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 1: two scores. Boston Scott had twelve carries sixty yards and

315
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 1: two scores, and Kenneth Gainwell had thirteam carries twenty seven

316
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: yards and no scores. Not one of them was targeted

317
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: once in the passing game though, So six different running

318
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 1: backs have scored against the chart argers in the last

319
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: three weeks. That's right, six different running backs have scored

320
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: against the charges in the last three weeks now the trend,

321
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 1: all of which were bigger dudes. DeVonta Freeman, who has

322
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: two hundred six pounds, was the only one under two

323
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: hundred twenty pounds. Now Jordan Howard, he's weighing in at

324
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: two twenty. Boston Scott's tiny, he's five s Kenny gainwells,

325
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: So it's yolo time for Jordan Howard. I'll use him

326
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: as might take a chance of me runner, but I'll

327
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: give all three Philly backs sea grades in this one. Okay, um, Brian,

328
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: who's your taken chance at me running back? And hopefully

329
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: not as not as much of a cop out? Uh

330
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: not really, you're quite virtually taking a chance every time

331
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 1: you start Miles Gaskin, so I'm gonna go with him

332
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: at home against the Texans. Malcolm Brown is now on

333
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 1: I R. But we did see Gaskin lose some touches

334
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: to Salvin Akhmed and Patrick Laird last week. That said,

335
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: Gaskin is still the lead back. Houston's run defense pretty whack.

336
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 1: They're allowing five point to yards per carry in one

337
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: fifth plus combo yards per game to running back, So

338
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: Miles gas canna take a chance on you guy with

339
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:09,120
Speaker 1: a kind of a upside in this matchup. Jeremy McNichols

340
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: is the forgotten man now that Dadrian Peterson's in Tennessee.

341
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 1: Peterson probably only good for what do you think, maybe

342
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: ten twelve, fourteen total touches in this game, and McNichols

343
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: gets the rest, and a lot of it will be

344
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,640
Speaker 1: through the air. And the Rams are a good run defense,

345
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: but not so good against past catching runners. They've surrendered

346
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: the ninth most receptions, the eighth most receiving yards to

347
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: opposing runners. And McNichols. If you think that Tennessee is

348
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: gonna get blown up by Matthew Stafford in the Rams

349
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be behind in losses, Jeremy McNichols is

350
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,479
Speaker 1: averaging eight targets per game. So you know, if you're

351
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 1: like me and you think the Rams are probably gonna

352
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,400
Speaker 1: lead throughout a lot of this game without Derrick Henry Um,

353
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: then Jeremy m McNichols a nice PPR play. Let's go

354
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: to the wide receiver position. Matt I got Van Jefferson

355
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: going up against the Titans, and it's very easy to

356
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: pick on the Titans. But here's the deal. The third

357
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: wide receivers are getting targeted a ton against Tennessee. Here's

358
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: the third wide receiver over the last few weeks that

359
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: have faced the Titans. Zach Pascal had eight targets, Byron

360
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: Pringle had nine. Let's call it Emmanuel Sanders for the Bills,

361
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: who had eight, but if you want to make it

362
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: Cold Beasley that's nine. And Jamal agg Knew for the

363
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: Jaguars had eight. So Van Jefferson's gonna get eight targets

364
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: in this one. He's had six career games where he

365
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: had he's had six or more targets and he scored

366
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: in three of them. So that's a coin flips chance

367
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: that a touchdown too. So I like Van Jefferson in

368
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 1: this one. All right, Brian, you take a chance of

369
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: the receiver. It has come to this for Allen Robinson,

370
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 1: he's now take com material h Alan Robinson of the Bears.

371
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:48,640
Speaker 1: Of course, at Pittsburgh, this is basically just a gut call.

372
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: The Bears likely to get smoked against the Steelers, who

373
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: are very tough to run on. I see a lot

374
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,159
Speaker 1: of garbage time in this game. Opposing wide receivers are

375
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: averaging one seventy yards and one point three touchdowns per

376
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 1: game against Pittsburgh, and uh again, I'm just trying to

377
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 1: will a good game into the universe. For Allen Robinson,

378
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: he's way overdue. So Allan Robbinson come on one time

379
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: he does. He is overdue, and we'll take it. I'd

380
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: love to see it for him. Brandon Ayuk might be

381
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: your number one receiving option for San Francisco. Deebo Samuel

382
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: trending towards out au has two paws out of the doghouse.

383
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: Last week he saw seven targets, he played cent of

384
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: the offensive snaps. Those are season highs. And over the

385
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: past three games, Arizona ranks bottom ten in yards allowed

386
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: to receivers, despite the fact that they faced and injured

387
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield and Davis Mills over those three games. And

388
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: so are you trending the right direction? Cornerbacks Marco Wilson

389
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: and Byron Murphy have allowed seven touchdowns combined in their coverage.

390
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: I think there's an opportunity for a here. He scored

391
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 1: last week. He could do it two times in a row.

392
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: Let's go to uh some matchups beginning with the Vikings

393
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: taking on the Ravens and normally Dalvin cooks in a

394
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 1: but this is a tricky matchup and I've only got

395
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: to be grade on him. Baltimore allowing the eighth fewest

396
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: rushing yards on the seventh fewest attempts per game. No

397
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: runner has top sixty yards on the ground against the Ravens,

398
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 1: um although none have seen more than fifteen carries, and

399
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: Cook always is good for more than fifteen carries as

400
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: soon as he assuming he starts and finishes a game.

401
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: Um Baltimore has missed the most tackles in the league,

402
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: so Cook could end up breaking a long one in

403
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: this one, and he's still a B grade. Let's go

404
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: to the passing game. Kirk Cousins just a C grade.

405
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: Offensive coordinator Clint Kobyak is strangling the life out of

406
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 1: the Vikings offense despite having one of the best deep

407
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 1: ball passers and Cousins. He's got Cousins throwing the second

408
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: shortest average pass, just six point six yards. I'd like

409
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 1: to tell you that that could change this week, but

410
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: I think Kobe is gonna get spooked by Justin Houston

411
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 1: and Clay's Campbell and worries about Kirk potentially getting sacked.

412
00:21:58,720 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 1: And I think there's still gonna be a lot of

413
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: underneath passing here and Becausin's just can't dink and dunk

414
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 1: his way to fantasy relevancy. So just to see on

415
00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 1: Kirk and bees on his two main receivers, Justin Jefferson

416
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: and Adam Feeling. Over the past three games, Baltimore has

417
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 1: allowed the six most yards to receivers two hundred three

418
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: per game, which is a ton um starting quarterbacks Marlon

419
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: to Humphrey and Anthony Averett have combined to allot five touchdowns,

420
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: which isn't all bad. And despite his reputation as a

421
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: shutdown corner, Humphrey discot roasted by Jamar Chase for six

422
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: five yards, So you know, big, good receivers can get

423
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: it done against him. So I think that Jefferson and

424
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: Feeland can get a little something done. They might have

425
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 1: to do a lot of it after yards after catch um.

426
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 1: In a different matchup, they'd be better. They'd be maybe

427
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: a place here, but I'm worried about too much dump

428
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: off stuff from Minnesota. Tyler Conklin is a fascinating option

429
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 1: for you, and I've got to see grade on him.

430
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 1: If you're in a pinch. The Ravens are allowing the

431
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 1: most fantasy points to tight ends. In only seven games,

432
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,200
Speaker 1: the Ravens have allowed three different tight ends to top

433
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: ninety yards and they've given up six touchdowns to the position.

434
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 1: So if you're in a you're in a spot for

435
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: during a bye week, you need a tight end. Maybe

436
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 1: Tyler Conklin's a guy you could you could go with.

437
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: Let's go to Baltimore. Lamar Jackson is an obvious A

438
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: in this game, and Marcus Brown also an A. I'll

439
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: note if you don't know that Minnesota's elite edge rusher

440
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,639
Speaker 1: Daniel Hunter is out for the year and his replacement,

441
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: DJ Wantam is a major step down. That means Jackson

442
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: is gonna have a lot of time to throw and

443
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: his receivers will probably be open against a secondary missing

444
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson. Marcus Brown is an obvious A here. He

445
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: scored four times in the four games before the bye

446
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: week and averaged eighty three yards during that stretch. Backup

447
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: cornerback Cameron Danceler is playing the wrong side of of

448
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: the field and got targeted copiously last week. Ten targets

449
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: at him last week. Marky's Brown will face him through

450
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: much of this game. Rashand Bateman potentially a breakout for

451
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: all the same reasons. I've gotta be grade on him.

452
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: He is commonly runs on the right side of the field,

453
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 1: where he's gonna face Bashad brick Breyland Pro Football focuses

454
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: eight seven rank cornerback. He's surrendered four scores and a

455
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: passer rating of one nineteen in his coverage. I think

456
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 1: Bateman could have his first really good game and his

457
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 1: first trip to the end zone. In this one, Mark

458
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: Andrews drops down to a C, which might sound counterintuitive

459
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: given everything else we've said, But the Vikings have been

460
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: great against tight ends. They're giving up just twenty They've

461
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: given up just twenty four receptions all year to the

462
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: position and no touchdowns. Um. They've got star linebacker Eric

463
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: Kendricks who's doing a great job and Anthony Barr as

464
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: well shutting down opposing tight ends. So Andrews have been

465
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: very good this year. Um, but I think this is

466
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: a tough matchup and I've only got the C grade

467
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: on him here. Otavias Murray doesn't look like he's gonna go,

468
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: and that means we're gonna get some blend of Levy

469
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: on Bell, DeVante Freeman, Tyson Williams. In this game. The

470
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: Vikings are allowing the eighth most rushing yards per game.

471
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 1: We'll posing backs there and they will almost certainly be

472
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: without run stuffing lineman Michael Pierce again. But this is

473
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: a really tricky that's tricky you know which of the

474
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: three might get any kind of work and in what role,

475
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: And so I've got I've got bench grades on all

476
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: of them because you just can't know if it's gonna

477
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: be Bell, Freeman or Williams, that's going to get most

478
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: of the work. If I had to pick one and

479
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: put a C grade on one, it would be Freeman

480
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: based on the usage we saw before the by final

481
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: matchup of this segment, Matt, it's Bills taking on the Jaguars,

482
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: and which should be a smashed spot for a lot

483
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 1: of Bills. Yeah, this one's pretty easy. Josh Allen a grade,

484
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: so is Steph Diggs, H Cole Beasley. I'm giving a B.

485
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders a sea. The Jags are allowing almost two

486
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 1: passing yards per game, with an average of one going

487
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: to wide receivers. Beasley had twenty two targets over his

488
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 1: last two games, and Sanders had four targets last week

489
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: against Miami but didn't come up with a catch. That

490
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 1: was pretty weird. But he's seen five, six and eight

491
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: targets in the prior three weeks and is a red

492
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: zone favorite of Alan's, so he's still startable, especially with

493
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox who's out again with a hand in dree

494
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: We're not flexing to Tommy Sweeney just yet, though, so

495
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 1: let's move on to the runners for the Bills, Zack

496
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 1: Moss gets a B. I'm leaving Devin Singletary on the bench,

497
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: though we highlighted it last week that the split was

498
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: almost even for these two. Well, eight carries for Moss

499
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: last week seven carries for Singletary, but six catches for

500
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: Moss to only one for Singletary, and that might mean something.

501
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 1: Plus Moss is getting twice as many touches in the

502
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:30,239
Speaker 1: red zone, so he's your guy this week on the

503
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: running side. On the jag side, James Robinson was limited

504
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: in Friday's practice, which is a positive step as no

505
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,479
Speaker 1: one really thought he would go this week. If he

506
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: does go, I'm still leaving him on the bench. I'm

507
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: leaving all the Jaguars runners on the bench. The Bills

508
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 1: are only allowing twenty running back touches per game on average.

509
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,440
Speaker 1: That's the fewest in the league by far, And you know, Matt,

510
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 1: I think part of that is because they've got the

511
00:26:55,440 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 1: league's best point differential their plus one twenty points, so

512
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: they're always playing with the lead and usually a sizeable one,

513
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: and teams just can't run. Yeah, they're They're awesome. They're

514
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: top three in rushing yards and touchdowns allowed to running backs.

515
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 1: They've also allowed the fewest receptions to opposing backs, which

516
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 1: seems counterintuitive with those negative game scripts that these runners see. Uh.

517
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 1: And even if James Robinson does go, you'll probably see

518
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: a healthy dose of Carlos Hide anyway, so I will

519
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 1: keep him on the bench. Now, the Jags passing game

520
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: is all on the bench except for one player. That's right, Brian,

521
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: it's Dan Arnold. Oh, he comes in with a C

522
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:37,399
Speaker 1: grade on Arnold. He's running eighty point five percent of

523
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: his routes as a slot wide receiver. Only Mike Gisicki

524
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: and Kyle Pitts had more great stead I found uh

525
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: from some some guy named Brian Johnson who sent that

526
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:52,159
Speaker 1: one to me. He's seen twenty three targets over the

527
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 1: last three games, which averages out to eight targets per week.

528
00:27:56,240 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: Only t J Hockenson and Travis Kelsey see more than

529
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 1: eight targets per game. So Dan Arnold on pace to

530
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 1: be one of the best tight ends in the league.

531
00:28:07,119 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know. Half of the tight ends who

532
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 1: have seen four or more targets against the Bills have

533
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 1: scored this year. So if Arnold gets eight targets, that

534
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: means he's a shoe in for a touchdown. I'm gonna

535
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: call it dan Arnold touchdown? What do you think? I

536
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 1: love it. As far as the rest of the passing game,

537
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: they're all on the bench. The Bills allow the fewest completions,

538
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: passing yards, passing touchdowns to oppose two opponents. Lawrence is

539
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: only averaging a score per game, and it's going to

540
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: Dan Arnold. So yeah, that's it. You don't need anything

541
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 1: else from the Jaguars. Back to the Bill. The Bills

542
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 1: tight end Tom Sweeney. How many of his friends and

543
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: family you think? You call him? Sweeney com No musical fans, Yeah,

544
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: lots of musical fans listening to Fantasy football weekly right now?

545
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: You know what. There are no lavish all fans left,

546
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: I think, And it's turned out of such a promising

547
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: season that I thought would be so much better fort

548
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: Laviska Chanel, but honestly not even really rosterable in most

549
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 1: leagues at this point. Unfortunately, when we come back, we'll

550
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: continue motoring through more matchups, including Packers and Chiefs. Patrick

551
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: Mahomes his struggles. Is he a sure starter for your

552
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: fantasy team? Find out when we come back to Fantasy

554
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: and Matt Harrison and Brian Johnson with you. I am

555
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: at home remote style, so apologize for the audio, but

556
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: we're here to give you all the information you need

557
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: to dominate Week number nine tricky bye week. Lots and

558
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: lots of injuries. We will help you sort it out

559
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: over the course of this show. Next up, Brian, it's

560
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 1: the Texans taking on the Dolphins. You already told us

561
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: you like Tarrod Taylor. What do you think of his receivers?

562
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: And you know the guy I'm really interested in his

563
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: Are you gonna give us starting grade to Nico Collins?

564
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: Is this gonna be his first ever starting grade? I'm

565
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly. It is uh real quick. Like you

566
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: said to Rod Taylor, was gonna take a chance. I'man quarterback.

567
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: I like three of his past catchers in this game.

568
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 1: Will start with Nico Collins. Gonna give him a see.

569
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: He was second and catches among wide receivers last week

570
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: for the Texans in his second game of his career,

571
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,239
Speaker 1: and I only expect that usage to ramp up in

572
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: his third game. I'm a little worried this is his

573
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: first game with Taylor at quarterback, but the matchup is

574
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 1: just too good for Nicos, so he gets to see

575
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: matchup obviously good for Brandon Cooks as well, going to

576
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: give him a be He posted big numbers with Taylor

577
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 1: to start the season, so I'm not too worried about

578
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: the change back at quarterback to Taylor with Cooks. The

579
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: Dolphins allowing nearly two hundred yards per game too wide

580
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: receivers and one and a half touchdowns per game to

581
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: the position. So like Cooks and Collins this week, I

582
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,239
Speaker 1: also like tight end Jordan's Aikin is gonna give him

583
00:31:09,240 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: a scene. The Dolphins have allowed these second most yards

584
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: to tight ends, and Aikin saw a season high and

585
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 1: snaps last week and also caught five passes for fifty

586
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: three yards, So double digit PPR points is possible here

587
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:23,959
Speaker 1: for Aikins, giving him the sea Now. I am not

588
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 1: giving a starting grade to David Johnson, Philip Lindsay, Rex Burkhead,

589
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: Scottie Phillips. I think Scottie Pippen might even be playing

590
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: running back for the Texans right now. They're all on

591
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: the bench. That's an easy call. You don't want to

592
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,120
Speaker 1: touch that game of Russian roulette with a ten foot

593
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 1: poll over to the Dolphins side. Miles Gascumes might take

594
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: a chance on me running back, A great matchup for him.

595
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: Also a great matchup for wide receiver Jalen Waddle. He

596
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: gets a buh. Houston has allowed the sixth most yards

597
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: too wide receivers and they are also top five and

598
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: red zone targets and red zone touches yielded to opposing

599
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: wide receivers, So a B for Waddle and I was

600
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: all set to give Davante Parker a B two, but

601
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: he's just been placed on I R with a shoulder injury.

602
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: Parker man he is glass one full season his career.

603
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: In his career, I just checked, so we're gonna bump

604
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: up Preston Williams with a C. He was benched for

605
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: disciplinary reasons last week. Hopefully he's been a good boy

606
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: this week because it's a good matchup for him if

607
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: he plays. If he does, it's a C for him

608
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: and a good matchup for Mike Kasiki. Matt mentioned in

609
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: the last Segmentsicki has taken of his snaps from the

610
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: slot or outside that's most among qualifying tight ends. Those

611
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:35,440
Speaker 1: numbers were dumbed down a little with the return of

612
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: Davante Parker, but again he's on I r so kausiki

613
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: basically back to a wide receiver now and again a

614
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: great matchup for wide receivers, but it's also a great

615
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: matchup for tight ends if we really want to go there. Uh.

616
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: The Texans have allowed a tight end touchdown in four

617
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: straight games, for a total of five to the position

618
00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 1: during that span, So tight ends are lighting it up.

619
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: You gotta love Gisicki this week, and of course he

620
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: gotta like to. Ah Canna give him a B borderline

621
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: A grade for me. Until Davante Parker was ruled out. Um,

622
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: the Texans are allowing nearly two D seventy passing yards

623
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,960
Speaker 1: and two passing touchdowns per game. Opposing quarterbacks are also

624
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 1: averaging more than eighty rushing yards against Houston, who has

625
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: also allowed the third most rushing touchdowns to the position.

626
00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: So fire up to with confidence. Yeah and not the

627
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 1: Toa is hyper mobile, but he can move a little.

628
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: And yeah, you know, I take twenty rushing yards from

629
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: two if he can, If he can manage that, that'd

630
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,320
Speaker 1: be great. Packers take on the Chiefs in a in

631
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: a game in which Jordan's Love will be making his

632
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: first ever start. And and guys, if you're Jordan's Love

633
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: and he was might take a chance, I mean quarterback

634
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: earlier and he comes in here with a c. Great.

635
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: If you're back to pass make your first ever start,

636
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: you are looking scanning the field, who are you gonna

637
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: throw the ball too? Davante Adams over and over again,

638
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: over and over again, exactly so he maintains an A

639
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: grade here. I am not moving him down at all.

640
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: This is still a bew eleait start against with an

641
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,959
Speaker 1: elite receiver against a really bad secondary. So we're not

642
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: giving this any second thoughts. We're keeping Davante Adams in

643
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 1: our starting lineup. If you're really in a pinch, you

644
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,479
Speaker 1: could go to Marques Velde's Scantling, who should return from

645
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:19,760
Speaker 1: his hamstring injury. Per pre injury, he was four targets

646
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 1: a game, which wasn't great. But the whole deal in

647
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 1: him is he's always all about the long ball. And

648
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: it's such a bad secondary of giving up so many

649
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: long passes that you could use Marques Veldez Scantling in

650
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 1: a pinch if you just want to try an all

651
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 1: or nothing play I'm putting Ellen Lazard on the bench

652
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: because even though he had scored in the games prior

653
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:42,680
Speaker 1: to his COVID designation, but those games are without MVS,

654
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: and in the MBS games, Lazard average one catch per game.

655
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 1: So with MBS back, I don't think Lazard's nearly savable.

656
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: And then Randall. Randall coms same thing. He was fine

657
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 1: when everybody else was hurt, but you know he was

658
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 1: getting virtually no playing time or looks when the other

659
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: receivers were healthy. So he's on the bench too. Not

660
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: gonna chase last week's touchdowns. So now let's go to

661
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: the running game with Jordan Love. You've gotta figure that

662
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones is gonna get a lot of work, both

663
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: as a runner and as a dump off option, the

664
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: game plan shifts towards Jones. Here in Kansas City has

665
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: given up at least one hundred combo yards to a

666
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 1: lead back in each of the last three weeks. Their

667
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,399
Speaker 1: Pro Football focus is lowest graded run defense, so even

668
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 1: though they know Aaron Jones is gonna get a lot

669
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: of work, they can't do anything about it. They have

670
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: allowed six touchdowns to running backs um, which is middle

671
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,359
Speaker 1: a middle of the pack number. Jones is third though

672
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: in red zone touches with thirty six already, so I

673
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: do like a touchdown here and an A grade on Jones.

674
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: So A j. Dillon is is fascinating because last week

675
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 1: he gets he got a season high and snaps carries

676
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: and in yard seventy eight yards. But he's one game

677
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: removed from a four touch eight yard game. I still

678
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: think he's startable, and I'm giving him a C grade

679
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,919
Speaker 1: because again, with Love under center, I think there will

680
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: be more opportunities to run the ball, and they can't

681
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: give him all to Aaron Jones. So I think Dylan's

682
00:36:07,960 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: gonna get get enough work here to perhaps get you

683
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: to the fifty yard mark in total yards, and maybe

684
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 1: it gets like you for a touchdown, but we won't

685
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: bank on it, and we'll give him a secret. So

686
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: let's go over to Kansas City, where things have suddenly

687
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: gotten a lot more interesting. I've been coasting on the

688
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 1: old Patrick Mahomes, Terry Hill and Travis Kelsey there auto

689
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: A's I don't even have to talk about those guys.

690
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: That's pretty much every week for two years now. Suddenly

691
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,720
Speaker 1: I got to defend my my positions on these guys.

692
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: So let's start with Mahomes, who's just to be great.

693
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: For all of his problems, he's still throwing multiple touchdowns

694
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: in seven of eight games, so from a fantasy standpoint,

695
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: he's still been very bankable. He faces a Green Bay

696
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 1: defense though, that can generate a lot of pressure from

697
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: its base package with Rashaan Gary, Kenny Clark, Za Darius Smith,

698
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 1: and that allows the Packers to keep seven defenders in coverage.

699
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: And that's the exact scenario that's created all this trouble

700
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: from Homes. Based on his play of late, Mahomes really

701
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: probably ought to be a C. But because it's Patrick

702
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:12,399
Speaker 1: Mahomes and he's still got Hill and Kelsey, I'm gonna

703
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,239
Speaker 1: give him a B here. But it's not a certainty

704
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: that he's a starter in your lineup. And you may

705
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:22,840
Speaker 1: have other players like Brian if you had Toua or

706
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, who would you start the year? Has been

707
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 1: crazy enough? Let's his role with ta I don't know.

708
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's almost a coin foot go on,

709
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 1: you can't ask me that off the top of my head.

710
00:37:34,280 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: That's like, that's a tough question. Sadly, sadly, for the

711
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: moment coming on, maybe it'll turn into four. I'll put

712
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,240
Speaker 1: you on the spot for that answer next segment. Tyreek

713
00:37:43,280 --> 00:37:46,040
Speaker 1: Hills stays as an obvious Ay. Even with mahomes struggles,

714
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: he has remained mostly productive. But we have seen a

715
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: couple of dud games. Um, But nevertheless, he's still Tyreek Hill.

716
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 1: And if they're gonna get anything done and they're gonna

717
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: have to play catch up for a lot of this

718
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: game quite possibly, well maybe then I still need Tyreek

719
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 1: Hills a safe A grade. Travis Kelsey, though, drops down

720
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:06,240
Speaker 1: to a B. He's been most impacted by mahomes declining play,

721
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:10,760
Speaker 1: with diminishing catches, yards and zero scores in three straight games.

722
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: He hasn't seen one hundred yards since week three, and

723
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: the Packers haven't allowed a tight end to top fifty

724
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: one yard since week three, and they haven't given up

725
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: a touchdown to a tight end since week two. Still,

726
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 1: he's Travis Kelsey, so he gets the B grade here,

727
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,399
Speaker 1: but I don't I don't feel great about it. Let's

728
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: go over to Daryl Williams. Um. He's filled in okay

729
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,359
Speaker 1: for Clyde Edwards Hilaire, averaging eighties six total yards and

730
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 1: he's seeing about two thirds of the snaps. He will

731
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 1: have his toughest tests against a Packer run defense that's

732
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:46,280
Speaker 1: really improved this year, allowing only one hundred eleven total

733
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: yards per game to opposing running backs. That's eight fewest

734
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: and no running backs hit the one hundred yard mark.

735
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 1: And then you got a factor in the emergence a

736
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 1: little bit of Derek Gore on Monday, which is a

737
00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 1: complicating factor potentially. So I've just got the seed great

738
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 1: on Darryl Williams. As for Gore himself, UM, if this

739
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 1: matchup are easier, maybe I throw a dart here, But

740
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 1: you know, we really don't know what's going on with

741
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:10,800
Speaker 1: his usage whatsoever. So we're gonna keep Derek Gore on

742
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 1: the bench and we'll talk a little bit more about

743
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: some of these guys in a later segment of the show.

744
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: Final matchup for the segment is the Raiders taking on

745
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: the Giants. Matt, this is um, this is a Raiders

746
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: team that's got it got to overcome not only the

747
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 1: loss of a key player, but maybe some of the

748
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,760
Speaker 1: ramifications that go with it. You just you wonder about

749
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 1: things that we don't normally talk about, like you know,

750
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: what is Derek Carr's mindset coming into this game. Yeah,

751
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 1: there's a lot of adversity that they've gone through this year. Um,

752
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: let's start with Derek Carr. I mean, if you like

753
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 1: two passing touchdowns, you probably like Derek Carr, Who's thrown

754
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 1: exactly two passing scores and six of seven contests this year.

755
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: He's also top the three yard mark in five of seven,

756
00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,320
Speaker 1: so that's really good. But obviously he lost Henry Ugs.

757
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: He's no longer a part of the team, so that

758
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: does hurt Car in some small way. But he should

759
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,720
Speaker 1: get Darren Waller back from an ankle injury post bye week.

760
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: The Giants allow an average of two passing scores per

761
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 1: game in about two or fifty six yards. Add that

762
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: all up in a B grade. Seems very fair for

763
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: Derek Carr and this one. Let's talk about Derek Darren

764
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: Waller now, who after a nineteen target, ten catch, one

765
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: five yard game in Week one, since then, he's averaging

766
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 1: seven targets, five receptions in fifty five yards per game.

767
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: Plus he's only scored once since Week one. Now, those

768
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 1: numbers still make him a top five tight end, but

769
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: he's not ranking better than Dawson Knox, c j Uzoma,

770
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: Mike Gisicki, Hunter Henry. On a per game basis, he's

771
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,399
Speaker 1: right in line with those guys. Now. The Giants gave

772
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,240
Speaker 1: up a tight end score in each of the first

773
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: four weeks of the season, but have not allowed one

774
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: in the last four weeks. The names that they faced

775
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: in the last four weeks include Travis Kelsey, Dalton Schultz,

776
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,800
Speaker 1: and Tyler Higbee. All in all, it's a B grade

777
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: for Darren Waller in this one. Now, the wide receivers,

778
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:12,000
Speaker 1: even with rugs, Hunter Renfro was leading the team in

779
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:15,760
Speaker 1: targets and receptions, and his role as a slot receiver

780
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: seems very stable, although we may see him flex out

781
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 1: to out wide a little bit more in the two

782
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,320
Speaker 1: wide receiver sets. As his average snap count was hovering

783
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:27,320
Speaker 1: in the high fifties to low sixties in percentage wise,

784
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 1: I expect that to go up now. I think he's

785
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,720
Speaker 1: the wide receiver to have on that team. An upteck

786
00:41:32,760 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: and target should go to Edwards, who was already leading

787
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: the team in wide receiver snaps in six of their

788
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 1: seven games. Za Jones should see his usage go up

789
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 1: a little bit too. Renfrow gets a B in this one,

790
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,800
Speaker 1: as he has the best matchup against Giants slot corner

791
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: Darnay Holmes, whose Pro Football focuses one fourth ranked corner.

792
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: I'd like to wait a little bit on Edwards and

793
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: Jones to see what happens in The Giants corners on

794
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: the outside have actually been fairly okay this year. Let's

795
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 1: just see how this one plays out for a week.

796
00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep those two guys on the bench. Josh

797
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:07,240
Speaker 1: Jacobs left the Week seven game early with a chest bruise.

798
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: It was more of a precautionary thing as it was

799
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 1: only a couple quarters prior to their bye week and

800
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: the game was already in hand. He's not even on

801
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: the injury report this week. The Giants are allowing four

802
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 1: point five yards per carry. That's the sixth highest in

803
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: the league, the fifth most rushing yards at a hundred

804
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,320
Speaker 1: and eight per game, so I'll give Jacobs a solid B.

805
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: It would be slightly higher, but I'm a little nervous

806
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,000
Speaker 1: that uh that if the chess bruises bothering him, we

807
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: could see him taken out in favor of Kenyan Drake.

808
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: On the Giant side, Daniel Jones was might take a

809
00:42:38,239 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: chance on me. Quarterback se Kwan Barkley. He was on

810
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 1: the COVID list. He's now off the COVID list, but

811
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,840
Speaker 1: he's still out with an ankle injury. So Davante Booker

812
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: is in getting a C grade. He's averaging about He's

813
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,040
Speaker 1: averaging about fifteen touches. The Raiders are allowing four point

814
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: five yards per carry, which is bottomed as far as defenses.

815
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,320
Speaker 1: But Booker just isn't that good. So I'm going to

816
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 1: give him a C grade in this one. I don't know.

817
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 1: I think he looks okay and he's gonna get a

818
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: ton of work in this game. I I I kind

819
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:14,399
Speaker 1: of like him, all right. Uh, Sterling Shepherd, he's out

820
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:18,280
Speaker 1: with a quad. Kenny Golladay is always questionable with a knee.

821
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 1: He's game time decision. Ka Darius Tony has questionable tweets

822
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 1: and he's also dealing with the thumb injury, but he

823
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 1: is expected to play in this one. Uh. Dante pettis

824
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: probably not gonna go with a shoulder injury. That leaves Tony,

825
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 1: Darius Slayton, and John Ross. I'm gonna leave all of

826
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 1: them on the bench. The Raiders have been great against

827
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: wide receivers allowing the third fewest receiving yards and touchdowns

828
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 1: to the wide receiver position. And finally, Evan Ingram. He

829
00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,920
Speaker 1: did not get traded, neither did Kyle Rudolph. Both scored

830
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: last week against the Chiefs. Angram is startable with the

831
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,440
Speaker 1: C grade if you're desperate. The Raiders are at bottom

832
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 1: ten defense against the tight end position in receptions and

833
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 1: yards allowed, so you can fire up Evan Angram a

834
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: little bit. All right, sounds great? You know what else

835
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 1: sounds great? Joining a Guilloteam league. It's the freshest new

836
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,759
Speaker 1: way to play fantasy sports. Instead of head to head

837
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 1: every week, the low scoring team gets chopped. All their

838
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 1: players go to the waiver wire where the rest of

839
00:44:15,239 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: us build a superstar lineup for the rest of the season.

840
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: All you have to do is not finished last, and

841
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 1: the last team standing wins the whole thing. Guilloteam Leagues

842
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:26,280
Speaker 1: dot Com. We'll be back for our number two Fantasy

843
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:47,640
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. In moments, our number two Fantasy Football Weekly.

844
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: I am Paul jar Chian, as I explained at the outset,

845
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna spend a lot of time on it.

846
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 1: I am quarantined at home with COVID. But I haven't

847
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: missed a show in twenty seven years, and I'm not

848
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 1: doing it now. So we continue. Aren't you miss one?

849
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: Did I? You missed one? It was the first one

850
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:06,880
Speaker 1: of the year, and Eric Nordquist filled in for you.

851
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: This was to three years ago. You're right. What happened

852
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: that week? I think it was a funeral? Actually, oh,

853
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: it was a funeral. You're exactly right. You're exactly right.

854
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: It was an excused absence for you're not quite cal ripken.

855
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:25,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, you're right in many ways, especially bankroll you.

856
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 1: You're the conspiracy theory. How they there was like a

857
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 1: power outage one night at Camden Yards and that was

858
00:45:30,520 --> 00:45:32,879
Speaker 1: too try to get him out of the keep note

859
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 1: to keep his streak alive because he was gonna be

860
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,760
Speaker 1: able to play. So they basically like forced to cancel, cancel.

861
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 1: Really interesting. I haven't heard that. That's a good guy.

862
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 1: I like that. Though. This is a segment we call

863
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: three Tough Questions. I'll pepper my co host, with three

864
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: tough questions. You can play along see if you can

865
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:51,600
Speaker 1: go three and oh. We begin with this tough question

866
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 1: number one. Clyde Edwards, a Laire could be back as

867
00:45:54,920 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: early as next week. Upon his return, what grade, well,

868
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly most often give him an A, B,

869
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 1: A C, or a bench grade. We begin with Matt Harrison,

870
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 1: So let's say he does come back next week against

871
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:14,720
Speaker 1: the Raiders. UM, I'll probably want to wait and see there,

872
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,399
Speaker 1: just to see what happens, how how they work him in.

873
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 1: So that's gonna be a bench grade for me. Next

874
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:23,880
Speaker 1: week the Cowboys a bye, and then the Broncos the

875
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 1: following three weeks. Those are all bad and he's probably

876
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 1: on my bench there, especially in the bye week. The

877
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 1: Raiders and Chargers in weeks fourteen fifteen are probably B

878
00:46:34,480 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 1: C kind of starts if he retakes the touch lead,

879
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:38,800
Speaker 1: and that's a big if at this point. As this

880
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:42,280
Speaker 1: week seventeen against since a week sixteen against the Steelers

881
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 1: is a bench grade as well, So I've got four

882
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 1: bench grades and three maybe start grades, so I think

883
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 1: he's a bench grade more the rest of the way. Okay,

884
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:53,839
Speaker 1: Brian is Clyde Edwards Hilaire. Upon his return to most

885
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: most often get an A, B C or bench grade. Yeah,

886
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,720
Speaker 1: Matt covered it pretty well. I got a a majority

887
00:47:00,760 --> 00:47:03,440
Speaker 1: of bench grades moving forward, for c e H. Basically,

888
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,280
Speaker 1: the dude just is not that good. Seven total touchdowns

889
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 1: in eighteen career games, has topped one d rushing yards

890
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,960
Speaker 1: just four times, even when he was healthy healthy earlier

891
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: in the year, Daryl Williams was soaking up more of

892
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 1: the past work and this Derek Gore kid looks good.

893
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's mainly bench time for us EH for

894
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,360
Speaker 1: the rest of the year. For me, it's easy to

895
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:26,799
Speaker 1: be cynical about Clyde Edwards despair, but let's remember he

896
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 1: was coming up back to back when hunt back to

897
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 1: back one hundred yard rushing performances before his knee injury,

898
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,319
Speaker 1: and on the season he's averaging a healthy four point

899
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,319
Speaker 1: seven yards per carry, and over those two games that

900
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:41,320
Speaker 1: was almost seven yards per carry. Darryl Williams just isn't

901
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:44,280
Speaker 1: that good. He's averaging three and a half yards per carry,

902
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 1: and his rushing yards over expectation our fourth from last

903
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:52,879
Speaker 1: in the entire league at a negative point eight. Daryll

904
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:56,360
Speaker 1: Williams isn't good and it's too soon to be spooked

905
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 1: by the emergence of Derek Gore, who Andy Reid didn't

906
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: like enough to give to a carry until last week now,

907
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:03,879
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards Layer is never gonna get an A because

908
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:05,759
Speaker 1: you can never you can never say he's going to

909
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 1: score in a game, and if you can't get a touchdown,

910
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: you pretty much can't get an A grade. His remaining

911
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: schedule to me is scattered between mostly bs and seas

912
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 1: and one bench grade. But if he comes back next week,

913
00:48:18,080 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 1: he gets a strongly positive matchup with Las Vegas if

914
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 1: he can hit that hit the ground running in that one,

915
00:48:23,560 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: and I've got one more B grade than I've got

916
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:33,439
Speaker 1: C grade on Clyde Edwards a layer. Tough question number two, Well,

917
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:38,360
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson most often receive an A, B, C or

918
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,399
Speaker 1: bench grade. Your new Titans running back, Brian, let's begin

919
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:43,960
Speaker 1: with you. Well, Tennessee says they're not going to change

920
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:47,919
Speaker 1: their high level offensive scheme without Derry Henry, meaning they're

921
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:50,919
Speaker 1: gonna try and stay run heavy with Peterson. We'll see

922
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 1: how well that goes. Um Tennessee tough schedule moving forward.

923
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 1: Fantasy pros has them with the third hardest strength of

924
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 1: schedule remaining strength of schedule for running backs. And we

925
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:04,240
Speaker 1: all know Adrian Peterson not going to contribute a lot

926
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 1: in the passing game. That's still gonna go to Jeremy

927
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 1: Jeremy McNichols most likely, But I still think outside of

928
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,280
Speaker 1: this week, we gotta see what happens with moving forward.

929
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 1: If he stays healthy, we're gonna see thirteen fourteen fifteen

930
00:49:17,239 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 1: carries minimum for Peterson, which is a C regardless of matchup,

931
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 1: really based on volume. So I'm just gonna play it

932
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,560
Speaker 1: safe and go with the C grade for the most

933
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:29,320
Speaker 1: part for Peterson. Okay, Matt will Adrian Peterson most often

934
00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 1: receive an A, B, C or bench grade. Spoiler alert.

935
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 1: I benched him this week against the Rams as well

936
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 1: I next week in his revenge game against the Saints.

937
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:42,319
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson's got a few revenge games coming up played

938
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:44,840
Speaker 1: with the Cardinals. I was like, you remember that the

939
00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:48,879
Speaker 1: sat exactly. Uh. It looks like he's startable in Week

940
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 1: eleven against the Texans and maybe Week seventeen against the Dolphins.

941
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:56,879
Speaker 1: But unless he takes over the Derrick Henry workload at

942
00:49:56,920 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 1: like a seventy eight percent clip and he looks really good,

943
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,320
Speaker 1: the schedule does not favor him. So I think he

944
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 1: sees more bench grades than anything. Yeah, you guys are

945
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: way off the mark on this um Peterson is Obviously

946
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 1: he's a shell of what he was before, but you know,

947
00:50:11,200 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 1: we're only one season removed from him getting six hundred

948
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 1: rushing yards in a split backfield with DeAndre Swift. He

949
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:21,560
Speaker 1: can be effective here. They don't have anybody else to

950
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 1: be an inside runner, and this is still a run

951
00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: heavy offense, and he's going to get a lot of opportunity.

952
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 1: And that counts for more than anything else in fantasy

953
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 1: football is opportunity. He will get the ball at the stripe.

954
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 1: He's always been an effective touchdown runner, and this team

955
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 1: wants to run the ball at the stripe. They'll continue

956
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 1: to do that and Peterson will get touchdowns. I see

957
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 1: looking through the schedule season bees, and the only the

958
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 1: only ones that that are to me potentially season benches

959
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 1: are New Orleans and Pittsburgh. The rest of the way,

960
00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:55,399
Speaker 1: the New Orleans is coming up next week. Every other

961
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:57,360
Speaker 1: game to me is to be including this week. I

962
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:00,120
Speaker 1: gotta be great out him this week. He's going to

963
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:03,840
Speaker 1: be startable and you're going to have opportunities to put

964
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson into your lineup. And by the way, Houston twice, Jacksonville,

965
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 1: and Miami are all spots where he could even if

966
00:51:13,239 --> 00:51:14,840
Speaker 1: it turns out he runs well, he could give me

967
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 1: a grades against those defenses. Jacksonville is a sneaky good

968
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,560
Speaker 1: run defense, though they are actually a sneeze. And hey,

969
00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 1: I said, see, at least that wasn't that far off.

970
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,839
Speaker 1: I guess what are you saying? I'll be way far off.

971
00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:31,840
Speaker 1: Correct answers tough question number three. What is the appropriate

972
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:36,799
Speaker 1: level of concern for Justin air Bear? Oh no, not

973
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:46,240
Speaker 1: a bear some or a bowel loosening level of existential dread.

974
00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:50,840
Speaker 1: We begin with Matt. I was actually shocked that you

975
00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 1: asked this question. Uh, He's had two below average starts

976
00:51:55,400 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 1: that weren't even completely disastrous from a fantasy standpoint, and

977
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:02,080
Speaker 1: we're just three is removed from three yards and four

978
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:05,760
Speaker 1: touchdowns against the good Browns defense. Air Bear is currently

979
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:10,120
Speaker 1: ranked eleventh in fantasy points after facing the Football Outsiders

980
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 1: fifth most difficult d v O A schedule so far,

981
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 1: and now the schedule is a little bit tricky, coming

982
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 1: up with four top ten passing defenses in a row

983
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 1: starting this week, but they will include a Vikings team

984
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:26,000
Speaker 1: without Daniel Hunter and a Broncos team without Von Miller.

985
00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:30,799
Speaker 1: But after that it's the Bengals, who are okay, Giants, Chiefs, Texans,

986
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:34,799
Speaker 1: Von Miller list Broncos again in your fantasy Championship. I'm

987
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 1: not concerned at all, and I'm interested to hear why

988
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:46,120
Speaker 1: charge has given some pause on yield air Bear, Old Brian,

989
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 1: what is the appropriate level of concern for justin air Bear? None?

990
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:56,359
Speaker 1: Some or blowed like, blowed your nose like. But I'm

991
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,799
Speaker 1: doing a lot of over here, and trust me, there's

992
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 1: a lot of that happening. The level of concern for

993
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 1: me is none. Still multiple touchdowns and four of his

994
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 1: last five games fourteen passing touchdowns during that span. That

995
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 1: that game at Baltimore was a disaster, but that was

996
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 1: an early start for a West Coast team. I'll give

997
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 1: him a bit of a break there. And last week

998
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 1: against the Patriots just two dree Um passing yards. He

999
00:53:18,640 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: didn't have two touchdowns. Last year he threw a touchdown

1000
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 1: at least one touchdown in every game except four against

1001
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:27,280
Speaker 1: the Patriots. We only two hundred nine yards and zero touchdowns.

1002
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:29,879
Speaker 1: So apparently you never want to play him against the Patriots. Really,

1003
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:31,839
Speaker 1: But outside of that, I got no concern for air Bear.

1004
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 1: Maybe a little bit of a sophomore slump going on,

1005
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 1: but it'll break out of it. Yeah, two straight bad games. Um,

1006
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:39,600
Speaker 1: the Baltimore game he looked bad in, uh, straight up bad,

1007
00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 1: and then he looked bad last week too, and so

1008
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 1: there was a bye week in between there. And so

1009
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: maybe because it's been four weeks since we've seen him

1010
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 1: play well when he got into that shootout with Cleveland

1011
00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 1: in which he was basically very good in that game,

1012
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:56,759
Speaker 1: almost four hundred yards passing, um that I think some

1013
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 1: people could have a a reasonable level of concern for

1014
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: Justin air Bear. But he's really good and I love

1015
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 1: the weapons around him. Um. There are some tricky games.

1016
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 1: The Eagles game and the Steelers games worry me, but

1017
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:12,880
Speaker 1: most of the rest of don't. And he's got a

1018
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 1: terrific December shaping up Cincinnati, the Giants, Chiefs, Houston his December.

1019
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:21,200
Speaker 1: He is gonna power teams through the playoffs. I have

1020
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 1: no concern for Justin Air Bear. All right, let's move

1021
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 1: back to our matchups. The next matchup up is the

1022
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:31,760
Speaker 1: Cardinals taking on the forty Niners and Brian the Cardinals

1023
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:33,799
Speaker 1: might just pack it into this one and basically wave

1024
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:36,879
Speaker 1: the white flag. They're gonna be missing potentially a lot

1025
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 1: of key starters for this one. Yes, sold the Diners,

1026
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 1: but not not as many as the Cardinals. So Kyler

1027
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 1: Murray and DeAndre Hopkins both gonna be game time decisions.

1028
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 1: We're just gonna go under the notion that that they're

1029
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:48,799
Speaker 1: not going to play though in this one, So I'm

1030
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 1: not gonna dive too deep into it. Sounds like they're

1031
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 1: going to. And yeah, the Cardinals be better off just

1032
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 1: trying to win this game. With Colt McCoy at quarterback.

1033
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 1: They're still they're still seven and one that are pretty

1034
00:54:59,160 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 1: much in cruise control in that divisional and not in

1035
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:04,399
Speaker 1: cruise control. The Rams are pretty good team too. But anyway, Uh,

1036
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:06,359
Speaker 1: Murray on the bench, even if he plays, I don't

1037
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 1: trust him to finish the game. DeAndre Hopkins the same,

1038
00:55:08,719 --> 00:55:11,440
Speaker 1: even if he suits up, he's gonna be a decoy

1039
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: at best. So both of them on the bench for me,

1040
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:16,440
Speaker 1: they're unlikely to to go anyway. A J. Green not

1041
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 1: gonna play either. He has COVID. You weren't hanging out

1042
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 1: with A J. Green this week? Were you? Charge? Um? Well?

1043
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 1: A J. Green and I are tight, um, he texts

1044
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 1: constantly middle of the night. Whatever Um, you know also, um,

1045
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 1: he's uh, I think he's trying to make a move

1046
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:38,279
Speaker 1: on my way. Really, that's a whole that's a whole,

1047
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:41,640
Speaker 1: separate conversation. Well, who hasn't been making too many moves

1048
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 1: on the field as Andy is Abella, but he might

1049
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:46,479
Speaker 1: see some significant rong. We got Christian Current, we got

1050
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:49,280
Speaker 1: Ron Dale more of course, but they're all on the bench.

1051
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:53,319
Speaker 1: If Colton McCoy, even undrafted free agent Antoine Wesley might

1052
00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 1: see some significant snaps here, but they're all all on

1053
00:55:56,680 --> 00:56:00,800
Speaker 1: the bench with Colton McCoy quarterback. I will give Zach's see.

1054
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:03,680
Speaker 1: Even though since Week one, when t J. Hockenson racked

1055
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:05,960
Speaker 1: up loads of garbage time yards against the forty Niners,

1056
00:56:06,160 --> 00:56:08,920
Speaker 1: San Francisco hasn't allowed a tight end to top thirty

1057
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:11,720
Speaker 1: eight yards. But Arts is probably the most trusted pass

1058
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:15,160
Speaker 1: catcher out of the bunch, and uh, the forty Niners

1059
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:17,719
Speaker 1: have yielded the seventh most red zone targets at tight end,

1060
00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:20,279
Speaker 1: So hopefully McCoy looks Urt's his way in the red

1061
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:22,640
Speaker 1: zone because a J. Green doesn't look the right way

1062
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,280
Speaker 1: when in the red zone, so it's probably the primary

1063
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 1: target in scoring range. Gonna give him a C and

1064
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 1: Chase Edmunds gonna give him a C. Tough matchup for him,

1065
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 1: san Francisco only allowing on fifteen combo yards per game

1066
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:37,399
Speaker 1: to running backs. Edmonds should see most of that work

1067
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:39,759
Speaker 1: between the twenties, so I think he gets a double

1068
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 1: digit PPR points. Not gonna score because either James Conner

1069
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:47,879
Speaker 1: volters the touchdown or just the fact that UM San

1070
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:51,319
Speaker 1: Francisco has allowed just five rushing touchdowns to running back.

1071
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 1: So I got James Conner on the bench. I don't

1072
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:55,239
Speaker 1: like his chance of vulturing a touchdown in this one.

1073
00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:58,560
Speaker 1: Over to the San Francisco side, it's a little less

1074
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 1: sloppy over here. I will start with George Kittle, likely

1075
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:04,839
Speaker 1: to make his return if he does. Just gonna give

1076
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 1: him a CEE though over the past three years he

1077
00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:09,319
Speaker 1: has average with thin six and a half targets and

1078
00:57:09,360 --> 00:57:13,040
Speaker 1: seventy yards per game against the Cardinals. But unfortunately for Kiddle,

1079
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:15,319
Speaker 1: the Cardinals are really good against tight ends this year,

1080
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 1: uh posing tight ends averaging just while they're averaging less

1081
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:22,600
Speaker 1: than four catches and thirty yards per game to the position.

1082
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 1: Arizona has not allowed a tight end touchdown all year either.

1083
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 1: The best performance from an imposing tight end came from

1084
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 1: Robert touny In, who total just three catches for forty

1085
00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 1: nine yards, and that was when all three Bays wide

1086
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 1: receivers were out of the picture. Basically Davante Adams wasn't

1087
00:57:37,480 --> 00:57:40,640
Speaker 1: playing out in Lazard was out scandaling, so was basically

1088
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 1: Tony and he only had three catches for forty nine

1089
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 1: yards or just to see for Kiddle if he suits up. Unfortunately,

1090
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:49,080
Speaker 1: it sounds like Deebo Samuel will not suit up for

1091
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 1: this game with the calf injury. So even if he goes,

1092
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 1: I'm really nervous about him. I'll give him a CEE

1093
00:57:55,840 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 1: if he plays, but he could be a decoy here.

1094
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:00,200
Speaker 1: We're just gonna assume he's on the bench. So if

1095
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:02,560
Speaker 1: he's out, that opens up a lot of opportunities for

1096
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk, who is your to take a chance on

1097
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:07,560
Speaker 1: me wide receiver charge? I like that And if no,

1098
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 1: m no Deebo Samuel, we're looking at Mohammed san new

1099
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:17,640
Speaker 1: is basically next the dad or the baby Mohammedan's. They

1100
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 1: might bring the baby in for this one. Who knows. Uh.

1101
00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 1: I thought it was Trent shirt Field too, but it's really,

1102
00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 1: Jawan Jennings has seen more targets than Trent shirt Field

1103
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:28,400
Speaker 1: over the last few weeks. Uh, just a total disaster

1104
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:31,959
Speaker 1: basically throughout this whole game. Jimmy Garoppolo on the bench

1105
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:34,560
Speaker 1: for this one. Uh, these teams didn't meet in Week five.

1106
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 1: But basically none of the same players are gonna be

1107
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 1: playing in this game. Trey Lance started that game for

1108
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 1: San Francisco, so I got I got Garoppolo on the bench,

1109
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 1: especially with no Deebo Samuel most likely. But lastly, I

1110
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:47,320
Speaker 1: will keep Elijah Mitchell and starting lineups can give him

1111
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 1: a B based on volume alone. If they're facing a

1112
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 1: Colt McCoy led Cardinals team. Uh, the Niners are likely

1113
00:58:53,960 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 1: trying to control the clock for the most part. It

1114
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 1: is a tough matchup, though only one opposing running back

1115
00:58:58,920 --> 00:59:02,000
Speaker 1: has topped one yards against Arizona. That was Dalvin Cook,

1116
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 1: and the Cardinals have allowed just to total running back

1117
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:11,280
Speaker 1: touchdowns all season long. So I I bumped that down

1118
00:59:11,280 --> 00:59:13,280
Speaker 1: to a sea Actually I've changed my mind after reading

1119
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 1: my own notes just to see for Elijah Mitchell that's

1120
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 1: happens sometimes, And that was arguably arguably the worst matchup

1121
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 1: I've ever done. In my career, it was just brutal,

1122
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:28,800
Speaker 1: brutal stuff, so much stuff for four yards in this

1123
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:33,320
Speaker 1: one that would make sense. Sadly, in this crazy season.

1124
00:59:33,360 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 1: Who knows, right, Mike Wide, you know who's to say, right, Uh,

1125
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 1: let's go to the Falcons and Saints first. I we

1126
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 1: just want to editorialize for a moment. So many fantasy

1127
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:46,960
Speaker 1: I've seen so many fantasy analysts say, oh, it's Calvin

1128
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 1: Ridley out, that's gonna make Kyle Pitts better, or that's

1129
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:52,480
Speaker 1: gonna make Cordarryl Patterson better. Nobody gets better because the

1130
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 1: best receiver on the team is out. Nobody gets better.

1131
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:58,240
Speaker 1: And you'll see that reflected in the grades here, beginning

1132
00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 1: with Matt Ryan. He's without his best weapon. Obviously, Saints

1133
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 1: secondary looks great until you look at the quarterbacks they

1134
01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:07,160
Speaker 1: faced um after the Aaron Rodgers game in Week one.

1135
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 1: They faced Sam Donald, mac Jones, Daniel Jones, Taylor Heineke,

1136
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 1: and Gino Smith. It's got to be the easiest run

1137
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:15,600
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks in the league. When they finally faced a

1138
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 1: good pass or last week Tom Brady, the Saints promptly

1139
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:22,520
Speaker 1: gave up three seventy five yards and four touchdowns. So

1140
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 1: you know, Ryan is not in the Donald Heineke Gino

1141
01:00:26,480 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 1: Smith Grange, He's not in the Tom Brady range. He's

1142
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:30,840
Speaker 1: somewhere in the middle. So I've got a C grade

1143
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 1: on Ryan, who probably cobbles together I don't know, maybe

1144
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:36,360
Speaker 1: like two fifty and one of the two path touchdown

1145
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 1: passes in this game. Cordelle Patterson gets a C grade

1146
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 1: because this is a tough matchup. Now on the ground,

1147
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 1: he's averaging a poultry four yards per carry since he's

1148
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 1: become the quote lead runner. Um. He scored touchdowns in

1149
01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:53,840
Speaker 1: fourth seven, which helps, and New Orleans has allowed at

1150
01:00:53,880 --> 01:00:56,680
Speaker 1: least one score to other dual threat runners like Christian

1151
01:00:56,760 --> 01:00:59,280
Speaker 1: McAffrey and sae Quon Barkley and Antonio Gibson. But I

1152
01:00:59,320 --> 01:01:02,720
Speaker 1: don't know if Cordell is really quite that guy um.

1153
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:05,680
Speaker 1: New Orleans allows the second fewest yards per game to runners,

1154
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:07,480
Speaker 1: and so Patterson is going to have to help you

1155
01:01:07,520 --> 01:01:11,240
Speaker 1: through the air, which is a better opportunity for Patterson

1156
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 1: and why he still gets a C grade. But I

1157
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:14,920
Speaker 1: don't think he's going to help you on the ground

1158
01:01:14,960 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 1: really here at all. Now, the the desperation fill in guys,

1159
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:25,440
Speaker 1: taj a sharp last week, even with Russell Gates back,

1160
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 1: Sharp tied for a team high six targets, and he

1161
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:31,800
Speaker 1: accounted for of Atlanta's passing yards, and he led all

1162
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:35,040
Speaker 1: the receivers and snaps. New Orleans secondary is a lot

1163
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 1: of receiver to post at least ninety six yards and

1164
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:39,640
Speaker 1: four of the past five games they've given up six

1165
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 1: scores to receivers over the past five games. If you

1166
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 1: need an emergency dart throw, you could try dot Taj Sharpened,

1167
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:47,960
Speaker 1: play him over Russell Gage, who was on the bench,

1168
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:51,880
Speaker 1: Mike Davis, it's over. It's a brutal season, it really is.

1169
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 1: The Saints run defense is the opposite of a slump buster.

1170
01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 1: What is the opposite of a slumpbuster? By the way,

1171
01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:02,680
Speaker 1: is it a slump enhancer? A slump solidifiancement is not

1172
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 1: a good thing. The slump enhancement doesn't sound good, does it. Um,

1173
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:08,000
Speaker 1: you can take a pill for that. Is there a

1174
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:11,320
Speaker 1: slump slump here? I don't know. That's what Mike Davis is.

1175
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 1: Let's go over. There's not a lot to talk about

1176
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:15,280
Speaker 1: on the New Orleans side of this. Alvin Kamara is

1177
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:17,960
Speaker 1: an obvious a well relieved the Trevor Simeon and not

1178
01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill. Is that at the helm because Taysom Hill

1179
01:02:20,720 --> 01:02:24,080
Speaker 1: was killing Alvin kmaron those four starts last year. But

1180
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 1: with Trevor Simeon at the helm, Camara's fine and Simeon

1181
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 1: and all his receivers are on the bench. Simeon is

1182
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 1: a barely functional pastor with career averages of two D,

1183
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 1: seventeen yards and one touchdown per game, and he didn't

1184
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:38,960
Speaker 1: even give you that last week. The Falcon secondary is

1185
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:41,360
Speaker 1: nothing special, but neither of the Saints receivers. If you're

1186
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 1: thinking about mark Ingram, he got eight touches last week,

1187
01:02:44,360 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 1: I just I don't. I don't see a scenari where

1188
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:49,280
Speaker 1: he gets enough touches here and where he can be

1189
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:52,360
Speaker 1: anybody you can rely upon. And he won't catch passes either,

1190
01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 1: so he's on the bench. When we come back to

1191
01:02:56,920 --> 01:03:02,440
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly, let's talk through some of the remaining matchups,

1192
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 1: including Justin air Bear as it takes on the Eagles.

1193
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 1: This is a tricky matchup. Eagle secondary has been very good.

1194
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:13,320
Speaker 1: We'll find out if Matt Harrison is at all swede

1195
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:17,160
Speaker 1: and has any concern for just An air Bear and

1196
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 1: his receivers when we come back to Fantasy Football, Whitney,

1197
01:03:36,200 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Fantasy Football Weekly on Paul Charchi and

1198
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:41,959
Speaker 1: my co host today are Brian Johnson. You can follow

1199
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:46,160
Speaker 1: him on Twitter at b t x J and Matt

1200
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 1: Harrison on Twitter at Explosive Output. Matt Paul charchy And

1201
01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 1: you'll have to figure out how to spell it, deal

1202
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:57,919
Speaker 1: with it. I can't. Yeah, you know, you'd think you'd

1203
01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 1: think Chargers take on the Eagles, Matt earlier in this show.

1204
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:04,560
Speaker 1: In fact, just last segment, you basically showed no concern

1205
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:08,600
Speaker 1: whatsoever for the faltering ways of Justin air Barrel over

1206
01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:13,840
Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks. Now he travels to Philadelphia

1207
01:04:13,960 --> 01:04:17,040
Speaker 1: for a tough matchup against what's been a pretty good

1208
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 1: but a little inconsistent past defense. What do you think, Yeah,

1209
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not going to give him the the A.

1210
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:26,240
Speaker 1: I will give him a be though. He's had those

1211
01:04:26,320 --> 01:04:30,320
Speaker 1: couple of rough weeks, including one against Baltimore two and

1212
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 1: two against New England, but prior to that, he topped

1213
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:35,000
Speaker 1: three hundred yards or thrown for three or more touchdowns

1214
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:38,480
Speaker 1: in every other game this season. So Philly has been

1215
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:42,680
Speaker 1: a break but don't bend defense allowing almost two touchdown

1216
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 1: passes per game, but only two hundred thirty six passing yards.

1217
01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:49,440
Speaker 1: Much of that is skewed, though, by who they've played.

1218
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:53,240
Speaker 1: They held Matt Ryan in Week one, Sam Donald, Jimmy

1219
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:57,560
Speaker 1: g and Jared Goff two very poor days, while Dak Mahomes,

1220
01:04:57,600 --> 01:05:00,320
Speaker 1: Brady and Derek Carr all had very good as and

1221
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 1: air bears in that ladder group, So I'm not too

1222
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:05,880
Speaker 1: afraid of this one. Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, it's

1223
01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:08,960
Speaker 1: solely about volume for them in this one, because players

1224
01:05:09,000 --> 01:05:11,760
Speaker 1: who get to double digit targets against the Eagles have

1225
01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:14,680
Speaker 1: had awesome days, but there's only been two of them

1226
01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:19,160
Speaker 1: this year, Tyreek Hill and Antonio Brown. Through seven games.

1227
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:22,440
Speaker 1: Mike Williams has three double digit target games while Keenan

1228
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:25,080
Speaker 1: Allen has four. I'll give both of them bees in

1229
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:28,240
Speaker 1: this one. Allen has an easier overall matchup going against

1230
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:31,200
Speaker 1: slot corner Avante Maddox and Mike Williams. He moves around

1231
01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:34,080
Speaker 1: the field, so he'll see an equal dose of Darius

1232
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:37,360
Speaker 1: Slay who's been good but beat able, and Stephen Nelson,

1233
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:41,000
Speaker 1: who is easily roastable. He's allowing a passerrating of one

1234
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:45,600
Speaker 1: oh five in his coverage. But Williams has been basically

1235
01:05:45,680 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 1: done nothing now for almost a month. This is a

1236
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 1: I don't think it's quite as obvious as you make

1237
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:55,680
Speaker 1: it sound. Well, let's just wait and see. How about

1238
01:05:55,720 --> 01:06:01,200
Speaker 1: that chart? Okay, Jared Cook, he might be a sailor

1239
01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:04,600
Speaker 1: because he's seaworthy in this one. Yeah, I did it.

1240
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:08,440
Speaker 1: There we go. He's seen twelve targets in his past

1241
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 1: two games. He's clearly above Donald Parham and Steven Anderson

1242
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 1: in the pecking order. The Eagles have allowed the most

1243
01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:17,200
Speaker 1: receptions on the season two tight ends at seven per game,

1244
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:19,960
Speaker 1: and have allowed six touchdowns to the position over their

1245
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:23,000
Speaker 1: eight contests. So he's he's getting a C grade in

1246
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:25,120
Speaker 1: this one. Austin Ekeler he gets the A though. The

1247
01:06:25,120 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 1: Eagles are bottom ten in rushing yards allowed, rushing touchdowns,

1248
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 1: receptions to running backs, receiving yards, and total touches per

1249
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 1: game to the running back position. By the way, opposing

1250
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:40,440
Speaker 1: backs are averaging thirty one touches per game against Philly,

1251
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:42,840
Speaker 1: so Ackler is a cinch for at least twenty in

1252
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:46,920
Speaker 1: this contest. The running back situation on the Philly side

1253
01:06:47,040 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 1: was all of might take a chance on me. Now,

1254
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 1: you don't get older points put together. You don't if

1255
01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:58,880
Speaker 1: they don't know he got it, he got it right.

1256
01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:03,360
Speaker 1: So uh, Jalen Reagor he's questionable with an ankle injury. Uh.

1257
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:07,200
Speaker 1: Leaving Davonte Smith and Quez Watkins is the other wide receivers,

1258
01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:10,120
Speaker 1: but they're all on the bench. Asante Samuel and Michael

1259
01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:12,160
Speaker 1: Davis are the chargers two starting corners. It's been a

1260
01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:15,520
Speaker 1: little thorny though, because they're both on the injury report

1261
01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:17,600
Speaker 1: this week and there's a chance one or both might

1262
01:07:17,640 --> 01:07:20,480
Speaker 1: not go. But their backups have been quite good as well.

1263
01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:24,120
Speaker 1: Chris Harris and to Van Campbell have each seen extended

1264
01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:26,520
Speaker 1: playing time this year. Neither has allowed to touchdown in

1265
01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:29,200
Speaker 1: their coverage. The Chargers are the toughest matchup in the

1266
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:32,440
Speaker 1: league for wide receivers, allowing the fewest receptions in yards

1267
01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:35,480
Speaker 1: to the position. They've only allowed three total touchdowns to

1268
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:39,360
Speaker 1: wide receivers through seven games, and with her sketchy throwing ability,

1269
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:41,920
Speaker 1: I'm leaving all the wide receivers on the bench. I

1270
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:44,920
Speaker 1: will give a B grade to Dallas Goddard. It was

1271
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:49,000
Speaker 1: highlighted last week without zach Ertz he's averaging about seventy

1272
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:51,760
Speaker 1: yards per game, and last week he had six catches

1273
01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:55,720
Speaker 1: and seventy two yards. The Chargers are almost as week

1274
01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:58,000
Speaker 1: against the tight end as they are strong against the

1275
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:01,280
Speaker 1: wide receiver. They've allowed the fifth most receiving yards and

1276
01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:05,160
Speaker 1: the sixth most touchdowns to the tight end position. So

1277
01:08:05,240 --> 01:08:07,480
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts he gets a B grade in this. Much

1278
01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:09,680
Speaker 1: of what Hurts does is on the ground, So here's

1279
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:13,480
Speaker 1: how running quarterbacks have faced fared against the Chargers DC.

1280
01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:15,760
Speaker 1: He did not have one rushing attempt, but that was

1281
01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:18,680
Speaker 1: Week two and he's not a running quarterback anymore and

1282
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 1: probably built the rebuilt ankle. That's right if you consider

1283
01:08:22,400 --> 01:08:25,120
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes to be mobile, which I do. He had

1284
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:27,920
Speaker 1: four forty five on the ground and to sixty and

1285
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:30,960
Speaker 1: three through the air. Lamar had eight carries for fifty

1286
01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:33,240
Speaker 1: one yards. Didn't do too much through the air. But

1287
01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:36,120
Speaker 1: the Ravens blew out the Chargers so quickly in that one,

1288
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:38,240
Speaker 1: so there's gonna be room to run, and I think

1289
01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:40,280
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts gets a lot of garbage time here. I

1290
01:08:40,360 --> 01:08:43,599
Speaker 1: probably put Hurts on under two yards passing, but I

1291
01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:45,720
Speaker 1: think he'll do really well on the ground to make

1292
01:08:45,800 --> 01:08:48,320
Speaker 1: up for that. I don't you know what I'm i

1293
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:50,880
Speaker 1: I'm sniffing a dud here. I agree with you on

1294
01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:52,800
Speaker 1: the passing he's not going to get. He's not going

1295
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:55,760
Speaker 1: to get the passing he won't and now you he

1296
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:59,719
Speaker 1: has to run for fantasy points and that makes me nervous.

1297
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:03,640
Speaker 1: I I hope I'm wrong, but I'm worried there's a

1298
01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:05,680
Speaker 1: scenario where he fails of Boat. I mean, if you

1299
01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:08,800
Speaker 1: consider Hurts the fourth running back on the Eagles, I

1300
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:11,160
Speaker 1: also get him and take a chance on me too.

1301
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:15,599
Speaker 1: Bears take on the Steelers, Brian, this has been an

1302
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:21,920
Speaker 1: inept to Bears offense. Khalil Herbert ground Bear has been

1303
01:09:22,240 --> 01:09:25,639
Speaker 1: pretty reliable, but things are getting maybe a little muddier

1304
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:27,759
Speaker 1: there too. What do you think of this offense against

1305
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:31,040
Speaker 1: the Steelers. Yeah, brutal matchup for Khalil. I will mention

1306
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:33,840
Speaker 1: David Montgomery has been designated to return from my R,

1307
01:09:33,920 --> 01:09:35,519
Speaker 1: but it's unlikely we see him this week. It's not

1308
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:37,639
Speaker 1: a good spot to bring him back on the road

1309
01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:40,559
Speaker 1: against Pittsburgh, and it's really not a good spot for Herbert.

1310
01:09:40,600 --> 01:09:42,679
Speaker 1: But I will still give him a see based on volume.

1311
01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:45,439
Speaker 1: But a brutal matchup against a tough run defense and

1312
01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 1: a likely negative game script for the Bears. Pittsburgh has

1313
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:50,680
Speaker 1: allowed the ninth viewest fantasy points to running back so

1314
01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:54,240
Speaker 1: just to see for Khalil air Bear, I mean ground bear,

1315
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:57,920
Speaker 1: my bad. Alan Robinson took a. It's sad to say

1316
01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:00,360
Speaker 1: he took a. He's a deep dart through. Might take

1317
01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:02,400
Speaker 1: a chance of me wide receiver. Come on, Allen Robinson

1318
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:04,559
Speaker 1: one time, you can do it. I'm also gonna give

1319
01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:08,000
Speaker 1: Darnell Mooney a sea. Opposing wide receivers are averaging one

1320
01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 1: and seventy yards at one point three touchdowns per game

1321
01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:13,479
Speaker 1: against the Steelers, and I just see the Bears in

1322
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:15,200
Speaker 1: a lot of garbage time here, so I give a

1323
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:17,680
Speaker 1: Mooney to see. He is questionable, but I think he

1324
01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:20,360
Speaker 1: will play uh in this one. Col Comet, I got

1325
01:10:20,439 --> 01:10:23,080
Speaker 1: him on the bench. The Steelers are top twelve in

1326
01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:26,400
Speaker 1: the fewest catches and yards allowed to opposing tight ends

1327
01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:29,960
Speaker 1: and justin fields. He's on the bench as well. Showed

1328
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:32,320
Speaker 1: some flashes last week, but this is a brutal matchup

1329
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:34,439
Speaker 1: for the rookie on the road, and Matt Naggy will

1330
01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:37,559
Speaker 1: be back on the sidelines. He's basically kryptonite to success.

1331
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 1: So h fields on the bench for this one. Over

1332
01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:43,280
Speaker 1: to the Steelers side. Not many players on the bench here,

1333
01:10:43,479 --> 01:10:46,519
Speaker 1: especially not Naji Harris. Gonna give him an a likely

1334
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:48,559
Speaker 1: no Khalil Mac for the Bears on this one, who

1335
01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:51,839
Speaker 1: are allowing one thirteen rushing yards per game to opposing

1336
01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:55,360
Speaker 1: running backs. Running backs should be a positive game strip

1337
01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:57,479
Speaker 1: for Naji, So we'll love him this week and give

1338
01:10:57,560 --> 01:11:00,880
Speaker 1: him an a. UH. Deonte Johnson close to in a

1339
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:03,320
Speaker 1: but just gonna give him a B here. Chicago's defense

1340
01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:06,120
Speaker 1: is a mess. They might also be missing safety Eddie

1341
01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:09,800
Speaker 1: Jackson in this game. The Bears have surrender. Yeah, the

1342
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:12,920
Speaker 1: Bears have surrendered five wide receiver touchdowns and a one

1343
01:11:13,400 --> 01:11:17,000
Speaker 1: yard receiver over the last three games alone. Uh and

1344
01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:20,640
Speaker 1: Johnson will likely see a lot of cornerback Kindle Vildor,

1345
01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:24,439
Speaker 1: who owns a pathetic one and thirty nine passer raiding

1346
01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:28,160
Speaker 1: in his coverage and his Pro Football focuses. Nineties ranked

1347
01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:33,360
Speaker 1: quarterback Chase Claypool draws the tough matchup here with Jalen Johnson,

1348
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:36,040
Speaker 1: so it's gonna give him a c um pat firemouth.

1349
01:11:36,200 --> 01:11:38,320
Speaker 1: He is on the bench. Only one tight end has

1350
01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:41,800
Speaker 1: scored against Chicago. Darren Waller and t J. Hogginson were

1351
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:44,920
Speaker 1: held to four catches and forty something scoreless yards against

1352
01:11:44,960 --> 01:11:47,960
Speaker 1: the Bears. And lastly, I will give Ben Roethlisberger a

1353
01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:50,880
Speaker 1: C because that's just the best Ben is ever going

1354
01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:53,800
Speaker 1: to get for the rest of his career. Bears. Be

1355
01:11:55,400 --> 01:11:57,720
Speaker 1: fifty passing or two passing touchdowns, that's what you'll hope

1356
01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:00,599
Speaker 1: to get out of Ben in this one. Ben with

1357
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:04,559
Speaker 1: one touchdown in every game, but one at one. That's

1358
01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:08,240
Speaker 1: it from Ben. I don't know that maybe this I

1359
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:10,280
Speaker 1: think you might maybe gets to two here, but I'm

1360
01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:12,280
Speaker 1: with you on the sea grade for Ben. When we

1361
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:15,360
Speaker 1: come back, Browns take on the Bengals. Will tell you

1362
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:18,799
Speaker 1: what to expect from Nick Chubb and the rushing attack

1363
01:12:18,920 --> 01:12:22,240
Speaker 1: for the Browns in a matchup with Cincinnati in their division.

1364
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:25,439
Speaker 1: And Premature Speculation will give you three players that you

1365
01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:28,400
Speaker 1: can pick up now that it real to be trying

1366
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:30,400
Speaker 1: to pick up next week. Find out who they are

1367
01:12:30,439 --> 01:12:51,479
Speaker 1: when we return the Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back, final

1368
01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:55,640
Speaker 1: segment of Fantasy Football Weekly. As we always do, we

1369
01:12:55,680 --> 01:13:00,760
Speaker 1: start this segment with premature speculation, so players you want

1370
01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:03,400
Speaker 1: to pick up now before everybody else is scrambling to

1371
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:06,320
Speaker 1: pick up these players next week, and we begin with

1372
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:11,799
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson. I'm gonna go with Bill's wide receiver, Gabriel Davis,

1373
01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:14,599
Speaker 1: who this this time last year got really hot and

1374
01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:17,720
Speaker 1: carried a lot of teams to some fantasy championships. Now

1375
01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:19,200
Speaker 1: he hasn't really done a whole lot in the first

1376
01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:21,880
Speaker 1: half of the season, but last week he out targeted

1377
01:13:21,880 --> 01:13:25,160
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders, who did not catch a pass. Davis did.

1378
01:13:25,200 --> 01:13:27,960
Speaker 1: He caught four of his five targets, caught a touchdown.

1379
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:31,360
Speaker 1: And you know something happens to Stefon Digs or Emmanuel Sanders.

1380
01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:33,400
Speaker 1: I think you get outright take his job back from

1381
01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:36,320
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders. But in that electric offense, if I've got

1382
01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:38,840
Speaker 1: an open spot on my bench, I'll stash Davis for

1383
01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:42,759
Speaker 1: a while and see if he blooms into something beautiful

1384
01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:46,920
Speaker 1: like a gentle flower. Yes, exactly, That's what I want

1385
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:48,519
Speaker 1: on my team. Is I want to be stacked with

1386
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:52,599
Speaker 1: gentle flowers on my squad. Matt, who is your premature

1387
01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:55,920
Speaker 1: speculation player. I got a gentle flower for your eight here.

1388
01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:59,400
Speaker 1: His name is Michael Gallup. Remember him. Uh. He did

1389
01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:02,439
Speaker 1: return to limited practice this week. For the Cowboys, although

1390
01:14:02,439 --> 01:14:06,560
Speaker 1: it seems unlikely he's gonna go uh for the Broncos

1391
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:08,600
Speaker 1: this week. He's been sidelined since Week one with a

1392
01:14:08,640 --> 01:14:12,360
Speaker 1: calf injury. And remember he averaged over seven targets per

1393
01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:15,559
Speaker 1: game over the last two seasons, including last year with

1394
01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb on the field, and in Week one he

1395
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:21,320
Speaker 1: saw seven targets before going out with an injury. The

1396
01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:25,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys have Atlanta, Kansas City two dates with Washington and

1397
01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:27,880
Speaker 1: the Giants still on the schedule. He's gonna see a

1398
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:30,680
Speaker 1: lot of starting grades coming down the pipe, So go

1399
01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:36,080
Speaker 1: get Michael Gallup. Alright. My premature speculation player is Donovan

1400
01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:38,840
Speaker 1: People's Jones. Much has been made about oh b j

1401
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:41,599
Speaker 1: leaving the Browns, not enough people talking about who's gonna

1402
01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:45,360
Speaker 1: fill that void. He leaves behind forty eight snaps per game,

1403
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:49,360
Speaker 1: and Donovan People's Jones was playing really well in weeks

1404
01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:53,920
Speaker 1: five and six. He combined for one hundred seventy yards

1405
01:14:53,920 --> 01:14:56,240
Speaker 1: and two scores. Then he probably got hurt and missed

1406
01:14:56,240 --> 01:14:59,120
Speaker 1: two games. Now he's back, He's going to be starting,

1407
01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:03,559
Speaker 1: and he's Cleveland's best outside receiver and they need somebody

1408
01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:06,559
Speaker 1: besides Jarvis Landry can catch a damn pass. So we'll

1409
01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:11,519
Speaker 1: try d p J to spark what was And by

1410
01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:13,680
Speaker 1: the way, as a reminder end of last year, he

1411
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:16,080
Speaker 1: was starting to be an impact player in December and

1412
01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:19,160
Speaker 1: into the playoffs last year, Donovan People's Jones, I think

1413
01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:22,240
Speaker 1: this is where we see the the the tilt up

1414
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:26,400
Speaker 1: in his career right here. Let's hope that's the case anyway,

1415
01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:28,160
Speaker 1: because we're optimius on this show. I mean, he's a

1416
01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:32,040
Speaker 1: beautiful flower too. Yeah, And it's a perfect segue to

1417
01:15:32,200 --> 01:15:35,320
Speaker 1: my final matchup of this show, which involves the Browns

1418
01:15:35,320 --> 01:15:37,280
Speaker 1: and the Bengals, And as you can imagine, I've got

1419
01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:39,800
Speaker 1: a starting grade on Donovan People's Jones, who will face

1420
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:44,000
Speaker 1: the very burnable Eli Apple most often. The Mengels did

1421
01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:46,679
Speaker 1: no intention of starting Apple this year, but Trey Waynes

1422
01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:49,360
Speaker 1: can't stay on the field. Apple ranks his Pro Football

1423
01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:54,960
Speaker 1: focuses one hundred seventh cornerback, and dpj's playing well. As

1424
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:57,479
Speaker 1: I had mentioned he had for prior to getting hurt,

1425
01:15:57,760 --> 01:16:00,320
Speaker 1: he had been a very viable fantasy receiver. So he

1426
01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:03,360
Speaker 1: comes back with a C grade in this game. But

1427
01:16:03,479 --> 01:16:07,400
Speaker 1: I've only got a bench grade on Baker Mayfield. Um. Yes,

1428
01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:09,880
Speaker 1: Mike White just destroyed the Bengal secondary. But on the

1429
01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:12,000
Speaker 1: whole they've been pretty good, giving up two hundred sixty

1430
01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:15,400
Speaker 1: yards in one touchdown per game. And Baker Mayfield just,

1431
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:18,040
Speaker 1: you know, the shoulder just isn't right and he doesn't

1432
01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:21,719
Speaker 1: look right. He's averaging less than one touchdown pass per game.

1433
01:16:22,720 --> 01:16:25,120
Speaker 1: Maybe he gets better with Odell Beckham off the field,

1434
01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:27,320
Speaker 1: which I mean that could be a that that kind

1435
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:30,000
Speaker 1: of drama could be ruining things and getting him off

1436
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:33,920
Speaker 1: the field might actually be helpful. And he did throw

1437
01:16:33,960 --> 01:16:37,519
Speaker 1: seven touchdowns against Cincinnati last year. Maybe I'll move Baker

1438
01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:40,439
Speaker 1: Mayfield to a C grade after all, I don't charge

1439
01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:43,320
Speaker 1: Mike White had two arms when he played against the

1440
01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:47,160
Speaker 1: Bengals last point and Baker's got like one point three. Yeah,

1441
01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:50,920
Speaker 1: so there's that. Jarvis Landry has seen eighteen targets in

1442
01:16:50,920 --> 01:16:53,759
Speaker 1: his two games since coming back from injury. He played

1443
01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:58,080
Speaker 1: of the snaps last week, and he's the most bankable

1444
01:16:58,120 --> 01:17:00,320
Speaker 1: of the Browns receivers. He runs from the lot. That

1445
01:17:00,320 --> 01:17:03,880
Speaker 1: puts him up against Mike Hilton, a solid cornerback. Hilton

1446
01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:06,439
Speaker 1: has a lot of touchdown hasn't allowed a touchdown since

1447
01:17:06,479 --> 01:17:08,880
Speaker 1: the opener, is giving up just seventeen yards per game

1448
01:17:08,880 --> 01:17:12,360
Speaker 1: and coverage. So just the C grade for Jarvis Landry

1449
01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:16,920
Speaker 1: as well. Let's talk about the running backs for the Browns,

1450
01:17:16,920 --> 01:17:20,440
Speaker 1: for Nick Chubb, and we told you this last week, Peacock.

1451
01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:24,640
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb is not gonna suddenly turn into a nine workhorse.

1452
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:27,519
Speaker 1: We knew we were gonna see. He's gonna stay doing

1453
01:17:27,560 --> 01:17:29,559
Speaker 1: what he had been doing, and that's you know, it's

1454
01:17:29,560 --> 01:17:31,080
Speaker 1: a lot of what we got from him. It's still

1455
01:17:31,080 --> 01:17:33,439
Speaker 1: a timeshare now with the Ernest Johnson, who will talk

1456
01:17:33,479 --> 01:17:36,559
Speaker 1: about in a second. Chubb faces a difficult matchup against

1457
01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:40,200
Speaker 1: the Bengals team that's shockingly improved against the run, giving

1458
01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:43,639
Speaker 1: up the fifth fewest rushing yards, only sixty eight per

1459
01:17:43,720 --> 01:17:46,800
Speaker 1: game to opposing running backs and just three point seven

1460
01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:51,120
Speaker 1: yards per carry that is sixth fewest. The best way

1461
01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:54,160
Speaker 1: for running backs to beat Cincinnati is through the air,

1462
01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:57,240
Speaker 1: but that's not Chubb's game. He hasn't seen more than

1463
01:17:57,280 --> 01:18:00,479
Speaker 1: two targets in any game this year. So I've just

1464
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:02,960
Speaker 1: got a B grade on Nick Chubb. He's obviously an

1465
01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:05,360
Speaker 1: elite level back, but this is a very tough matchup.

1466
01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:10,360
Speaker 1: D Ernest Johnson's snapshare last week was one third of

1467
01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:13,679
Speaker 1: the plays, and this is a tricky matchup. As I said,

1468
01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:15,639
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna get a lot done on

1469
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:17,639
Speaker 1: the ground, but he can chip in through the air

1470
01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:21,160
Speaker 1: because Chubb doesn't catch and Johnson can catch. Some Bengals

1471
01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:25,280
Speaker 1: allowing the most receptions and the third most receiving yards

1472
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:27,920
Speaker 1: to the position. So I've got the ernest Johnson is

1473
01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:30,200
Speaker 1: a C grade on the prospect of him getting four

1474
01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:34,920
Speaker 1: or five receptions in this game. Let's go to the

1475
01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:38,640
Speaker 1: Bengals side of this one and we'll we'll start with

1476
01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:40,400
Speaker 1: the passing game. Joe Burrow gets to be He's the

1477
01:18:40,439 --> 01:18:44,360
Speaker 1: only quarterback with multiple touchdowns in every game. Cleveland's defense,

1478
01:18:44,439 --> 01:18:47,400
Speaker 1: while definitely improved from last year, still gets beaten by

1479
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:51,479
Speaker 1: good quarterbacks, and Joe Burrow belongs to that category. He's

1480
01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:56,479
Speaker 1: a good quarterback. Patrick Mahomes justin air bear Kyler Murray

1481
01:18:56,479 --> 01:19:00,400
Speaker 1: averaging a whopping three hundred twenty one yards and three

1482
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:05,439
Speaker 1: and a half touchdown passes against Cleveland. Everybody else is

1483
01:19:05,479 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 1: only a hundred ninety yards in one touchdown. So it's

1484
01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:12,360
Speaker 1: it's all or nothing against the against Cleveland, and I

1485
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:15,360
Speaker 1: think Joe Burrows earned the all, not the nothing here

1486
01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:18,280
Speaker 1: and Obviously, Jamaar Chase is great and you're as you're

1487
01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:19,840
Speaker 1: gonna hear in a minute. I do like some of

1488
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:23,840
Speaker 1: his receiver matchups, so let's go to Jamaar Chase. Um

1489
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:26,559
Speaker 1: obvious a grade in my mind. In the in a nutshell,

1490
01:19:26,680 --> 01:19:29,519
Speaker 1: Cleveland has been a good secondary, but good receivers find

1491
01:19:29,560 --> 01:19:33,280
Speaker 1: their way to good games against them anyway. Um Chase

1492
01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:35,599
Speaker 1: should farewell on the outside against Denzil a Ward, who

1493
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:39,080
Speaker 1: has surrendered a one percent catch rate and a touchdown

1494
01:19:39,120 --> 01:19:43,880
Speaker 1: in the last two games. T Higgins interesting. In the

1495
01:19:43,920 --> 01:19:46,400
Speaker 1: six games of which he's been active, he's actually out

1496
01:19:46,479 --> 01:19:51,439
Speaker 1: targeted Jamaar Chase. He's notched at least sixty yards and

1497
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:53,920
Speaker 1: three of the last five games, culminating in a season

1498
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:57,120
Speaker 1: high nineties seven yards last week for T Higgins, But

1499
01:19:57,160 --> 01:19:59,519
Speaker 1: he doesn't get the explosive plays that all that stuff

1500
01:19:59,560 --> 01:20:02,840
Speaker 1: goes to Chase. Still, he's got a slightly positive matchup

1501
01:20:02,840 --> 01:20:05,920
Speaker 1: on the outside against solid rookie cornerback Greg Newsome, and

1502
01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:09,479
Speaker 1: I've got a B grade on T Higgins. How about

1503
01:20:09,520 --> 01:20:12,599
Speaker 1: c jo Zuma. Shockingly good over the last five games,

1504
01:20:12,880 --> 01:20:15,040
Speaker 1: but his volume is super low. He's two and three

1505
01:20:15,080 --> 01:20:19,800
Speaker 1: catches a game and he needs touchdowns for fantasy relevancy.

1506
01:20:19,960 --> 01:20:23,679
Speaker 1: The Browns got slacked by Travis Kelsey in Week one,

1507
01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:27,360
Speaker 1: but since then they've only given up one touchdown the

1508
01:20:27,400 --> 01:20:29,759
Speaker 1: rest of the way, and they're only averaging three catches

1509
01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:32,080
Speaker 1: for thirty one yards to tight ends. So I've got

1510
01:20:32,120 --> 01:20:35,000
Speaker 1: a wobbly C grade on c jo Zuma and just

1511
01:20:35,080 --> 01:20:38,000
Speaker 1: know that if he doesn't score, he probably hurts your team.

1512
01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:40,200
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd is on the bench. He's been better lately,

1513
01:20:40,240 --> 01:20:42,200
Speaker 1: but I don't like his matchup in the slot against

1514
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:45,160
Speaker 1: Troy Hill, who has only allowed one touchdown all year

1515
01:20:45,160 --> 01:20:47,160
Speaker 1: and gives up an average of two catches for twenty

1516
01:20:47,240 --> 01:20:50,040
Speaker 1: six yards and his coverage, so he goes back to

1517
01:20:50,080 --> 01:20:53,240
Speaker 1: the bench. Joe Mixons is a tricky one and I

1518
01:20:53,280 --> 01:20:57,040
Speaker 1: really struggled with where to put him. Guys, his rushing

1519
01:20:57,120 --> 01:21:01,160
Speaker 1: yards and yards per carry a decreased in three secutive games,

1520
01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:04,559
Speaker 1: bottoming out at two point four yards per carry against

1521
01:21:04,560 --> 01:21:09,200
Speaker 1: the Jets last week. How did you shockingly bad? Fortunately,

1522
01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:12,280
Speaker 1: he's getting more receiving work lately, but he might struggle

1523
01:21:12,320 --> 01:21:15,120
Speaker 1: in both areas against the Browns team allowing the sixth

1524
01:21:15,160 --> 01:21:18,760
Speaker 1: fewest rushing yards and the fifth fewest receiving yards per

1525
01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:22,559
Speaker 1: game to opposing backs. That's only total yards per game,

1526
01:21:22,680 --> 01:21:26,080
Speaker 1: third fewest in the league. And I don't know, I'm

1527
01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:28,000
Speaker 1: nervous about Mixing in this one. I'm giving him a

1528
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:30,519
Speaker 1: C grade here. Uh, this is a very tough matchup

1529
01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:32,559
Speaker 1: and he hasn't been running well lately, so I do

1530
01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:36,519
Speaker 1: have some concern for Joe Mixing and just the C

1531
01:21:36,760 --> 01:21:41,280
Speaker 1: grade an unusually low rank for him. Alright, our final

1532
01:21:41,320 --> 01:21:44,400
Speaker 1: matchup of this show is Titans taking on the Rams,

1533
01:21:44,439 --> 01:21:48,400
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of new variables for this Titans offense. Matt, Yeah,

1534
01:21:48,439 --> 01:21:52,160
Speaker 1: this one's gross. And they play Sunday night, so the

1535
01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:55,800
Speaker 1: pivot players are going to be super weird. And with

1536
01:21:56,040 --> 01:21:58,560
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and Chicago playing on Monday night, there's not a

1537
01:21:58,640 --> 01:22:01,080
Speaker 1: lot of great moves can make if some of these

1538
01:22:01,120 --> 01:22:03,719
Speaker 1: guys don't make it. Well, let's start with the running

1539
01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:07,760
Speaker 1: game on the Titan side. Derrick Henry obviously had the

1540
01:22:07,760 --> 01:22:11,360
Speaker 1: big injury, probably done for the season. Darrenton Evan Darrnton

1541
01:22:11,439 --> 01:22:13,400
Speaker 1: Evans is also on i R, so we get Jeremy

1542
01:22:13,479 --> 01:22:16,519
Speaker 1: Nichols and Adrian Peterson likely for the rest of the year.

1543
01:22:16,640 --> 01:22:18,680
Speaker 1: Charch Use McNichols is just take a chance on me

1544
01:22:18,760 --> 01:22:22,160
Speaker 1: player Peterson, I'm not going to recommend the starting this week,

1545
01:22:22,160 --> 01:22:24,040
Speaker 1: although Charch said he had a B grade on him.

1546
01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:29,519
Speaker 1: RAMS are only allowing eighty rushing yards per game to

1547
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:32,559
Speaker 1: the position. All of aps yards will likely be on

1548
01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:34,320
Speaker 1: the ground, and I think he's splitting a little bit

1549
01:22:34,360 --> 01:22:36,439
Speaker 1: of that with McNichols, who knows the playbook a little

1550
01:22:36,439 --> 01:22:40,000
Speaker 1: bit better and should certainly be in in passing situations.

1551
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:43,320
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm gonna keep Peterson on the bench if

1552
01:22:43,320 --> 01:22:46,560
Speaker 1: it's me. But if you believe in Charch in that way,

1553
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:51,720
Speaker 1: Charge says, it's more like Adrian Baterson. Oh, I don't

1554
01:22:51,720 --> 01:22:58,000
Speaker 1: know what I'm going to accommodate you, and I'm going

1555
01:22:58,040 --> 01:23:00,360
Speaker 1: to move into a secret. Okay, there we go. You've

1556
01:23:00,400 --> 01:23:02,560
Speaker 1: talked me to him. So let's move on to the

1557
01:23:02,600 --> 01:23:06,479
Speaker 1: wide receiver position. I'm gonna start with Julio quote limited

1558
01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:10,000
Speaker 1: with a hamstring injury. Jones, who was back as a

1559
01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:14,160
Speaker 1: full going practice obviously, but then A J. Brown missed

1560
01:23:14,160 --> 01:23:17,960
Speaker 1: practice on Friday, and we don't know why as of yet.

1561
01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:21,599
Speaker 1: So that's kind of mysterious because he was a full

1562
01:23:21,640 --> 01:23:24,439
Speaker 1: go on Wednesday and Thursday, and he comes up with

1563
01:23:24,479 --> 01:23:27,360
Speaker 1: a miss practice on Friday, and this is a late game,

1564
01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:29,920
Speaker 1: and this is a huge This is a huge problem

1565
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:32,080
Speaker 1: for fantasy owners to try to figure this out with

1566
01:23:32,200 --> 01:23:35,000
Speaker 1: A J. Brown. You said pivot plays, you got Allen

1567
01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:40,000
Speaker 1: Robinson played Monday Night. Robinson, you can get him on

1568
01:23:40,040 --> 01:23:43,519
Speaker 1: the cheap um. A. J. Brown has been on fire

1569
01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:46,400
Speaker 1: lately and if he's healthy, he should see an uptick

1570
01:23:46,439 --> 01:23:48,839
Speaker 1: and work with the loss of Derrick Henry. The question

1571
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:52,240
Speaker 1: is will he see shadow coverage from Jalen Ramsey. Now

1572
01:23:52,280 --> 01:23:55,960
Speaker 1: it's probably not full time. He'll see Ramsey on probably

1573
01:23:55,960 --> 01:23:58,760
Speaker 1: half his snaps. Ramsey has not been a shadow cover

1574
01:23:58,840 --> 01:24:02,160
Speaker 1: corner for most of the year. When he's not on Ramsey,

1575
01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:07,040
Speaker 1: he'll face Dante Dion, who is five ft nine and

1576
01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:12,240
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty nine pounds. I could dominate that guy,

1577
01:24:12,360 --> 01:24:15,519
Speaker 1: he's so tiny. And then David Long is the other

1578
01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:18,320
Speaker 1: corner he'd face, and he's given up a passerrating of

1579
01:24:18,400 --> 01:24:20,920
Speaker 1: over a hundred in two straight games and that was

1580
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:24,960
Speaker 1: against the Lions wide receivers and the Texans wide receivers.

1581
01:24:25,040 --> 01:24:28,720
Speaker 1: So if Julio goes, and I think Julio is gonna go,

1582
01:24:28,800 --> 01:24:31,320
Speaker 1: I'm giving him a bee. And if Brown goes, he

1583
01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:34,759
Speaker 1: also gets a bee simply because he will get about

1584
01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:37,479
Speaker 1: half of his snaps on Jalen Ramsey. I think solid

1585
01:24:37,560 --> 01:24:43,520
Speaker 1: rudy refference there by the way, with the he's so tiny,

1586
01:24:43,760 --> 01:24:48,400
Speaker 1: how's then? Or is he so little? Never mind? Uh,

1587
01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:52,559
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill, he's larger. I think the Titans offense is

1588
01:24:52,600 --> 01:24:54,720
Speaker 1: going to have to reinvent itself on the fly, and

1589
01:24:54,800 --> 01:24:57,000
Speaker 1: to me, that means the balls in Tannehill's hands much

1590
01:24:57,040 --> 01:25:00,479
Speaker 1: more often. The Rams sound tough, but they allowed the

1591
01:25:00,560 --> 01:25:04,680
Speaker 1: third most passing attempts and the third most passing completions

1592
01:25:05,040 --> 01:25:07,639
Speaker 1: and the fourth most passing yards so far this season.

1593
01:25:07,920 --> 01:25:10,000
Speaker 1: So I think Tannehill is in a good spot here. Actually,

1594
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:13,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to give him a B grade. Um Cooper

1595
01:25:13,320 --> 01:25:17,559
Speaker 1: Cup is my fantasy ard Vark this week going up

1596
01:25:17,560 --> 01:25:20,400
Speaker 1: against the Titans, and Matthew Stafford's in obvious A grade.

1597
01:25:21,200 --> 01:25:23,800
Speaker 1: Robert Woods is an A grade two, and Van Jefferson

1598
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:25,720
Speaker 1: was might take a chance on me wide receiver. I'll

1599
01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:28,640
Speaker 1: just note that the Titans are allowing sixteen and a

1600
01:25:28,680 --> 01:25:32,920
Speaker 1: half receptions, two hundred sixteen yards and a touchdown and

1601
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:35,800
Speaker 1: a half per game to the wide receiver position, all

1602
01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:38,799
Speaker 1: of which are either the worst or almost the worst

1603
01:25:38,840 --> 01:25:41,960
Speaker 1: in the league. Tyler Higbee, he's on the bench, though

1604
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:44,800
Speaker 1: he's very touchdown dependent and the game script probably won't

1605
01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:46,800
Speaker 1: favor him needing to run routes in this one for

1606
01:25:46,880 --> 01:25:51,280
Speaker 1: very long. Plus, Tennessee weirdly good against the tight end position.

1607
01:25:51,720 --> 01:25:55,040
Speaker 1: They mostly held Travis Kelsey in check and the only

1608
01:25:55,120 --> 01:25:57,800
Speaker 1: three scores that have come against them have been no

1609
01:25:57,960 --> 01:26:00,960
Speaker 1: name tight ends getting goal line passes like literally like

1610
01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:06,360
Speaker 1: one catch, one yard, one touchdown passes against Tennessee. Darryl

1611
01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:09,479
Speaker 1: Henderson is the last guy I'll mention. I'm giving him

1612
01:26:09,560 --> 01:26:12,200
Speaker 1: a B grade in this one. It's been very easy

1613
01:26:12,240 --> 01:26:15,960
Speaker 1: to pass against the Titans, so teams haven't run very

1614
01:26:16,080 --> 01:26:20,080
Speaker 1: much against them, but they are allowing a robust four

1615
01:26:20,120 --> 01:26:23,160
Speaker 1: point six yards per carry, and without Derrick Henry in

1616
01:26:23,200 --> 01:26:26,000
Speaker 1: this game, this could turn out to be a run

1617
01:26:26,040 --> 01:26:28,519
Speaker 1: out the clock scenario for the Rams in the second half.

1618
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:30,360
Speaker 1: A lot of garbage time in this one, so it

1619
01:26:30,360 --> 01:26:33,839
Speaker 1: wouldn't surprise me of Darryl Henderson's getting some extra touches

1620
01:26:33,840 --> 01:26:37,320
Speaker 1: in the second half of this game, but not Sony Michelle,

1621
01:26:37,600 --> 01:26:40,880
Speaker 1: not Sony walk No, We're not going that far. It's

1622
01:26:41,240 --> 01:26:47,840
Speaker 1: crazy god who dodged bull with that? Yeah? Uh, guys,

1623
01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:49,120
Speaker 1: we got a couple of minutes here at the end

1624
01:26:49,120 --> 01:26:52,919
Speaker 1: of the show. Does it go without saying, there's nobody

1625
01:26:53,040 --> 01:26:57,240
Speaker 1: you would trade one for one, which for Jonathan Taylor.

1626
01:26:57,320 --> 01:26:59,960
Speaker 1: You have Jonathan Taylor. There's no offer that's gonna make

1627
01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:04,640
Speaker 1: you move Jonathan Taylor, including Cooper Cup. Yeah. I was

1628
01:27:04,640 --> 01:27:07,519
Speaker 1: gonna say it would either be Cooper Cup or maybe

1629
01:27:07,680 --> 01:27:11,439
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara kind of the last standing stud running back

1630
01:27:11,439 --> 01:27:14,600
Speaker 1: out there. But me thinks Jonathan Taylor is gonna be

1631
01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:18,400
Speaker 1: on a lot of championship winning rosters come late December

1632
01:27:18,479 --> 01:27:22,080
Speaker 1: January and fantasy football. Yeah, I feel Taylor's the guy.

1633
01:27:22,240 --> 01:27:24,479
Speaker 1: The only other guy I think that I might consider

1634
01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:28,120
Speaker 1: is maybe Tyreek hill Um, just because his target load

1635
01:27:28,280 --> 01:27:30,839
Speaker 1: is so heavy there and it's still the Chief's offense.

1636
01:27:31,560 --> 01:27:34,680
Speaker 1: Jamaar Chase is up there too, just because of the explosiveness,

1637
01:27:34,960 --> 01:27:37,280
Speaker 1: and I think that if you're the Jamaar Chase owner,

1638
01:27:37,520 --> 01:27:40,880
Speaker 1: maybe you dangle Jamar Chase out there and see if

1639
01:27:40,920 --> 01:27:45,360
Speaker 1: you can get Jonathan Taylor right now after that game,

1640
01:27:45,400 --> 01:27:47,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna be really tough. Is a tough moment, isn't

1641
01:27:47,800 --> 01:27:50,479
Speaker 1: it a trade for Jonathan Taylor too for two at

1642
01:27:50,520 --> 01:27:54,160
Speaker 1: that point. Sticking with that game, what do you see

1643
01:27:54,200 --> 01:27:57,679
Speaker 1: for Michael Pittman's dynasty or empire outlook as you look

1644
01:27:57,720 --> 01:28:02,640
Speaker 1: ahead even future seasons? Is he moving into the conversation,

1645
01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:07,800
Speaker 1: is maybe a top ten dynasty asset at receiver. It's

1646
01:28:07,840 --> 01:28:10,639
Speaker 1: starting to look that way. I still might lean towards

1647
01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:12,840
Speaker 1: some of the older guys. It's a good three or

1648
01:28:12,840 --> 01:28:15,760
Speaker 1: four years left, but top fifteen, top twenty for sure.

1649
01:28:15,800 --> 01:28:18,680
Speaker 1: Pittman's looked amazing so far this year. It really has.

1650
01:28:18,720 --> 01:28:20,600
Speaker 1: And don't forget Carson one is still pretty young, and

1651
01:28:20,680 --> 01:28:22,680
Speaker 1: the way he's playing, which is by and large been

1652
01:28:22,720 --> 01:28:25,960
Speaker 1: pretty good. It looks like there's gonna be a connection

1653
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:27,960
Speaker 1: there for years to come. Well, and the and the

1654
01:28:28,000 --> 01:28:30,040
Speaker 1: best part about Pittman is he doesn't have to deal

1655
01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:32,479
Speaker 1: with Carson Wentz is stupid throws that he makes. He

1656
01:28:32,600 --> 01:28:36,320
Speaker 1: just the good ones. If you mesic any part of
