Speaker 1: Here time now for Fantasy Football Weekly on k f
Speaker 1: a N presented by Devani's, your weekly source for the
Speaker 1: nation's best fantasy speculation and advice. Fantasy Football Weekly is
Speaker 1: also brought to you by Green Belt Premium No name
Speaker 1: Butcher Quality meets Honda, town Hall Family, Luther Hunt, and
Speaker 1: by The Park Tavern. Now Now, along with Fanball and
Speaker 1: League Saves, Matt Harrison and Brian Johnson, here's Paul Charchy in.
Speaker 1: We never get it right. They never both here at
Speaker 1: the same time. Today it is Matt Harrison, No, Brian Johnson,
Speaker 1: Scott Fish with me. Hello, guys, Hey, how's it going?
Speaker 1: We do We just need to cut a new generic
Speaker 1: open that just says it's Paul Churchy and and two
Speaker 1: dudes who decided to do the show this week. Come
Speaker 1: not to shot at you. Yeah, I'm sure it is.
Speaker 1: I was like four shows you're gonna do this year.
Speaker 1: It's on vacation in Nashville above the other ten shows
Speaker 1: before that. I was on vacation and some other locale.
Speaker 1: I'm a world traveler. We gotta we gotta get Brian credit.
Speaker 1: He did twelve shows in a row so far this season. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's um He's like, it's pretty good and you only
Speaker 1: put some like three hundred short of me. But yeah,
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. What are you going to take one off?
Speaker 1: I never never, just you're the cal Ripken of Uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: there's something to that. I am. I am the bell
Speaker 1: cow of this show. Yeah. Um, hopefully not like Jay
Speaker 1: Gies the bell cow for Miami, because that's uh, that
Speaker 1: wouldn't be good. We're gonna try to do a little
Speaker 1: better than that. We're optimistic, um coming up on the show,
Speaker 1: all the good stuff that you know and love. We're
Speaker 1: gonna break down every game fantasy style. We'll bring you
Speaker 1: five hot questions, take a chance on me, premature speculation,
Speaker 1: and lightning round. And because we have six teams on
Speaker 1: by for the only time this year, that means we're
Speaker 1: gonna have some We're gonna have some extra time are calls.
Speaker 1: I believe. I think it's going to happen. Then again,
Speaker 1: we do tent When we know we've got extra time,
Speaker 1: we tend to go long and pontificate and all that
Speaker 1: other stuff that ends up screwing up our clock. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we'll find out lots of pregnant pauses. Yeah, that could be.
Speaker 1: Let's dive right into the matchups, beginning with Falcons at Jets.
Speaker 1: Scott Falcons offensive problems are well chronicled. Now they get
Speaker 1: the Jets. Does this say get right moment for the Falcons?
Speaker 1: I definitely think so. Now the Jets are bottom ten
Speaker 1: versus every position quarterbacks and runing backs, wide receivers ten
Speaker 1: ends their their bottom ten against all of those, So
Speaker 1: I think it's definitely a get right game from Matt Ryan.
Speaker 1: The Jets allowing the most touchdown passes this season and
Speaker 1: multiple touchdowns and four straight games. I have an A
Speaker 1: grade on Ryan. I have an A grade on Julio
Speaker 1: Jones as well. Hit The Jets have allowed five touchdowns
Speaker 1: this year to number one wide receivers scored last week.
Speaker 1: I think it gets in again like nice two in
Speaker 1: a row after getting shut out for the first six
Speaker 1: weeks of the season, no kidding. Finally saw that end
Speaker 1: uh snook back last week saw ten targets and he's
Speaker 1: going to be in the slot against bust buster screen.
Speaker 1: Great matchup. I give him a B grade. Is that
Speaker 1: baby Mohammed Sanu or Mohammed Sanu sr? Are we sure?
Speaker 1: I don't think. I think it's going to be the senior.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna be the baby. The baby
Speaker 1: could have a decent game against Busters. That is actually possible.
Speaker 1: It's the screen door effect. Is we like any any
Speaker 1: Mohammed Sanu? We are We are already vamping more than often.
Speaker 1: That's right, unusual Austin Hooper. Uh. Over the last three games,
Speaker 1: the Jets have allowed four touchdowns and they're allowing six
Speaker 1: catches per game. In that span, Hooper has been hot
Speaker 1: and cold. Three games over forty five yards and three
Speaker 1: games under ten yards. I'm very Amari Cooper like that.
Speaker 1: It's the it's the volume problem for him. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: hot and cold, but you know this is a great matchup,
Speaker 1: So I'm giving him a C grade. Maybe he's more
Speaker 1: hot than cold this week. Uh, DeVonta Freeman giving him
Speaker 1: an A grade. He's got at least seventy hold of yards.
Speaker 1: In five straight weeks. Jets are allowing a hundred fifty
Speaker 1: total yards per game. A grade there B grade for Coleman.
Speaker 1: Bad game last week, averaging under four yards per carry.
Speaker 1: But the Jets are allowing five and a half receptions
Speaker 1: and over fifty yards per game to to running backs
Speaker 1: receiving I think I think Coleman can shine there. I
Speaker 1: hope you're right. I mean, you know that it seemed
Speaker 1: like a great matchup for him last week and needed nothing.
Speaker 1: Another strong matchup pays off this time. Yeah. On the
Speaker 1: Jet side, Josh McCown, the Falcons are allowing two thirty
Speaker 1: yards and one and a half touchdowns per game to quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: but Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady really inflated those numbers. Otherwise,
Speaker 1: it's actually much worse. The Falcons are doing really well
Speaker 1: in that area. McCown does have multiple touchdown passes in
Speaker 1: three straight weeks, but I'm giving him a C grade here.
Speaker 1: I don't like the matchup. I'm giving both of his
Speaker 1: receiver se grades as well. It's it's uh, it's yeah.
Speaker 1: I guess they could both get secrets. They both scored
Speaker 1: last week five five targets per game for Curse, six
Speaker 1: targets per game for Anderson. There's a little volume. There
Speaker 1: slight edge to Anderson. He's led the team and targets
Speaker 1: three straight weeks. Given Safarian Jenkins a B grade the Jets.
Speaker 1: The Falcons are allowing over eight targets and over fifty
Speaker 1: six yards per game to tight ends and Safarian Jenkins
Speaker 1: has been productive. I think he can be productive again
Speaker 1: here against a pretty decent matchup for tight ends. And
Speaker 1: he did score against Atlanta week one of last season
Speaker 1: while he was a member of the Buccaneers. Nice little
Speaker 1: added bonus there for Austin Safarian Jenkins. And onto the
Speaker 1: running game. Falcons are bottom ten versus the run, allowing
Speaker 1: over a hundred fifty total yards per game to running backs.
Speaker 1: But when fourteen Powell both played together this season, they're
Speaker 1: only averaging twenty total touches between them, and they're splitting them.
Speaker 1: Last week, I think they had eleven and thirteen. They're
Speaker 1: not getting a lot of volume. I know they both
Speaker 1: had eight yards last week. Uh Fourtes had eight yards
Speaker 1: two weeks in a row. And Atlantic is a little
Speaker 1: a bit susceptible to pass catching backs. They both catch passes.
Speaker 1: Not a lot of volume though. I'm giving them both
Speaker 1: C grades. But I'm a little worried about the us.
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I don't know that I can start
Speaker 1: you the one. Yeah, it's it's it's a shaky seat
Speaker 1: for me. Between four tem Pow Bears take ONWN the Saints,
Speaker 1: Matt and the Bears offense it's been all running all
Speaker 1: day and no passing whatsoever. Do you think they loosen
Speaker 1: up a little bit on Mitch Drabinsky. Well, you're gonna
Speaker 1: really like the way that I structured this matchup then,
Speaker 1: because I gave an aid to Jordan Howard's averaging touches
Speaker 1: per game over the last five weeks, and the Saints
Speaker 1: are allowing four point seven yards per carry to opposing
Speaker 1: backs this season. That seems like at least a hundred
Speaker 1: yards to me in this game for Jordan Howard and
Speaker 1: probably their best chance at a touchdown the entire passing game,
Speaker 1: including Tarik cohen Is on the bench, has to be
Speaker 1: Robinsky literally through only seven passes last week and sixteen
Speaker 1: the week before. He's only completed twelve passes in the
Speaker 1: last two weeks, and they've won both games and they
Speaker 1: want so there's not a mandate to change it, unfortunately. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And the Saints defense actually not as bad as we
Speaker 1: might think. Um, they've given up three touchdown passes to
Speaker 1: each Tom Brady, Sam Bradford and Matthew Stafford this year,
Speaker 1: but in the other three games against Jay Cutler, Cam
Speaker 1: Newton and Brett Hunley, they did not give up a
Speaker 1: passing score at all, so I think Mitch Truebiski is
Speaker 1: more of column B than column A there, so he's
Speaker 1: definitely more huntly than Brady. On the saint side, I
Speaker 1: got mark Ingram getting an a averaging twenty eight touches
Speaker 1: per game since Adrian left Town has had back to
Speaker 1: back a hundred yard games and three total touchdowns, and
Speaker 1: the Bears have allowed the ninth most rushing touchdowns in
Speaker 1: the league this season. Yeah, and by the way, the
Speaker 1: it's uh I calculated twenty nine touches per game, but
Speaker 1: either way, it's too much for mark Ingram and I
Speaker 1: think Camara is gonna start siphoning some of those offer
Speaker 1: nine is is not what it mark Ingram is all about. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I have Kamara as a C start too. He's
Speaker 1: had thirteen and fourteen touches since the a P deal,
Speaker 1: so he's a decent flex play. Opposing backs are also
Speaker 1: averaging seven catches per game against the Bears over the
Speaker 1: past three weeks, so I think he's in playing PPR
Speaker 1: for sure. Drew Brees I gotta be on. He's had
Speaker 1: five eight games of either three hundred yards passing or
Speaker 1: multiple touchdowns. Chicago has only allowed eight touchdown passes this season.
Speaker 1: The defense has been pretty solid, but four of them
Speaker 1: were to Aaron Rodgers, so in the other five games
Speaker 1: they've given up one or zero. Michael Thomas, I'm still
Speaker 1: giving a B grade two though He's had double digit
Speaker 1: targets and three of his last five and has had
Speaker 1: at least eighty yards and four of his last five.
Speaker 1: But he hasn't topped the hundred yards this season and
Speaker 1: the touchdowns only two touchdowns. Yeah, he'll face off mostly
Speaker 1: against Prince Amukamar. Though held Kevin Helvin Benjamin to three
Speaker 1: catches for sixty five yards last week. He's been pretty good. Uh.
Speaker 1: Ted Gin given a C grade to Ted Gin. Gain's
Speaker 1: only seen the field for fifty two of the snaps
Speaker 1: in the Saints last two weeks, but he had sixty
Speaker 1: six yards in a touchdown two weeks ago and seven
Speaker 1: catches for a hundred and forty one yards last week.
Speaker 1: So he's making a lot of hay with the limited
Speaker 1: amount of snaps that he's on the field, and he's
Speaker 1: their deep threat. And I am a little bit worried
Speaker 1: that the return of Willie Snead, now healthy, will will
Speaker 1: eat into at least a few of his reps as well. Well.
Speaker 1: Let's mention Willie Sneed. Sneed was a finally a full
Speaker 1: participant in practice on Friday. He's been dealing with a
Speaker 1: hamstring injury basically since his suspension ended. The slot wide
Speaker 1: receiver is the best matchup and Snead kind of goes
Speaker 1: into that a little bit there, and Brandon Coleman kind
Speaker 1: of does as well. And Coleman actually had a nice
Speaker 1: little game last week as well. So I think it's
Speaker 1: probably split time between Sneed and Coleman, so I have
Speaker 1: both of them on the bench, and Kobe Fleaner we're
Speaker 1: off the Fleaner mobile where we're far off the Fleaner
Speaker 1: mobile was only playing the snaps since the Saints became
Speaker 1: a running team, and and he's he's just not on
Speaker 1: the on the field at also not Thatch agreed. Uh.
Speaker 1: The early morning game tomorrow is Vikings versus Browns in London,
Speaker 1: and I I always like getting the London games. I
Speaker 1: didn't get this solve. That's because I like to do
Speaker 1: the British that entire time, and like I need some
Speaker 1: I need some British accent out of you. Let's go. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think that's gonna happen. Um, you will get
Speaker 1: some new news out of me. This uh, this news
Speaker 1: just coming down the down, down the wire. As they say,
Speaker 1: the Browns players had to evacuate it as if is it?
Speaker 1: What else could go round for the Browns? Right? The
Speaker 1: Browns players had to evacuate their team hotel at five
Speaker 1: in the morning. Here they're trying to castle. By the way,
Speaker 1: gas leak in the hotel. Um, here they're trying trying
Speaker 1: to just adjust to the time zone change, right, and
Speaker 1: you're trying to make up the six hour time zone
Speaker 1: change and everything else, and gas leak in the hotel
Speaker 1: has everybody standing outside for an hour at in the morning. Crikey, blindy,
Speaker 1: that's just beastly, is it? There? Uh so there's your
Speaker 1: there's your your latest Browns update. Let's talk about that.
Speaker 1: Got common UK expressions pulled up on thank you? You
Speaker 1: can do some insert those whenever you want. All right,
Speaker 1: go for it. I'm gonna start with the running game.
Speaker 1: It's tim be tempting to chase Latavius Murray's a big
Speaker 1: game from last week, but I wouldn't do it. The
Speaker 1: one thing the Browns do really well stuff the run
Speaker 1: they are giving up a league best two point nine
Speaker 1: yards per carry. I'll also remind people that prior to
Speaker 1: last week, Lottavias Murray was averaging two point three yards
Speaker 1: per carry um. They've Browns have only a looted two
Speaker 1: rushing scores, and none of those were in the last month.
Speaker 1: No back his top sixty six yards against Cleveland last week.
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry two very good runners and
Speaker 1: and frankly, two runners that are probably better than Latavius
Speaker 1: Murray and Jerick McKinnon combined for just seventy two yards scoreless.
Speaker 1: Seventy two scoreless yards against the Browns, So see grades
Speaker 1: on Lottavias Murray and Jerick McKinnon. Let's go to the
Speaker 1: passing offense, where we believe Stefan Diggs will return. It
Speaker 1: increasingly looks like he's gonna play. You seem very chuffed
Speaker 1: about that. I don't want him to play in this game.
Speaker 1: I am chuffed something. No, I'm not pleased about it
Speaker 1: as a Viking fan. I was a fantasy fan, great
Speaker 1: as a Viking fan more so. No, because they don't
Speaker 1: need him to win this game against the Browns, and
Speaker 1: they've got a buy wee coming if if the groin
Speaker 1: is anything less than one, I wish they wouldn't play him,
Speaker 1: But it looks like he's gonna go in this one
Speaker 1: full practices this week. He has done the full Monty
Speaker 1: of practices this week. Yeah. Uh. The Browns may attack
Speaker 1: him with solid corner Jason mccordy, who's sometimes shadows. That
Speaker 1: would be a negative for him. Um, if they don't shadow,
Speaker 1: then he'll get some positive matchups against Jamar Taylor. But
Speaker 1: we don't know for sure which way that's gonna go.
Speaker 1: I'm going see great on Stefan Diggs in part because
Speaker 1: groin injury injuries get re injured, get aggravated a lot,
Speaker 1: and if it goes blow out, they may decide to
Speaker 1: sit Diggs as well, just to rest the groin. So
Speaker 1: I would be done backed if that happened. I bet
Speaker 1: you would. Adam feeling over the By the way, see
Speaker 1: great on Steph Diggs if I didn't say so. Adam
Speaker 1: Clan also a C grade over the last two weeks
Speaker 1: without Diggs targeted twelve and thirteen times. I like that.
Speaker 1: But Diggs comes back now, so now he's I think
Speaker 1: he's gonna get targeted less and most importantly, he draws
Speaker 1: one of the better slot cornerbacks in the NFL, former
Speaker 1: golfer Brian Body Calhoun, who ranks seventh overall among all
Speaker 1: cornerbacks by Pro Football Focus. Only A C grade for Theeling,
Speaker 1: only off your trolley. I am off my trolley the
Speaker 1: h He has given up three touchdowns of slot receivers,
Speaker 1: but Theeland hasn't scored a touchdown this year, so I
Speaker 1: don't even know if that's gonna be a factor. C
Speaker 1: grade on Theeling. A grade for Kyle Rudolph. Targets have
Speaker 1: been way up over the last three weeks without digs.
Speaker 1: Maybe that comes back to earth a little bit here,
Speaker 1: but the Browns have struggled mightily against tight ends for
Speaker 1: a lot of the season. Big games have gone to
Speaker 1: Jesse James two touchdowns, Benjamin Watson yards, Tyler Croft too touchdowns,
Speaker 1: Austin Severian Jenkins one should have been two touchdowns, Delaney
Speaker 1: Walker sixty three yards and seven receptions last week. So
Speaker 1: cal Rudolph A grade. I've got keen Um on the bench.
Speaker 1: He has thrown zero or one touchdowns in five of
Speaker 1: six games, and the Browns have allowed the second most
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns and multiple touchdowns and five of seven games.
Speaker 1: But they just shut down Marcus Mariota last week, so
Speaker 1: who's to say that this is gonna be It seems
Speaker 1: like a dog's bollocks matchup for case Keenum on the
Speaker 1: brown side. There's no startable plays here, including Duke Johnson,
Speaker 1: who is usually a solid contributor through the air. But
Speaker 1: listening with the Vikings have done to good pass catching
Speaker 1: backs this year. Alvin Kamara twenty yards, Levy on Bell
Speaker 1: these are these are the receiving yards. That's all we
Speaker 1: care about. Duke h Levy on Bell four yards, theoretic
Speaker 1: eight yards, Tarik Cohen negative six yards, Tie Montgomery three yards,
Speaker 1: Bunk Allen twenty nine yards. That's it. Who you thought
Speaker 1: bunk Ellen would be the best of those? Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: You don't think Johnson's full of beans and ready to
Speaker 1: go get him? I don't link so the beans for
Speaker 1: breakfast in England. That's not cool. Isaiah Crowles on the bench.
Speaker 1: He hasn't scored yet. He's averaging three point two yards
Speaker 1: per carry, Vikings allowing just three point two yards per carry,
Speaker 1: So that means if he's going to continue to get
Speaker 1: three point two y it's per carry on his average
Speaker 1: often carries. That's a forty one yard game and he's
Speaker 1: on the bench. Yeah, that's rubbish. And we're gonna put
Speaker 1: the whole passing game on the bench as well. You
Speaker 1: don't even need me to really expand on this. This
Speaker 1: is uh Kaiser comes back. But it doesn't matter in
Speaker 1: fact that it's probably works against this team. So that's it.
Speaker 1: Vikings Browns. Let's take a break when we come back,
Speaker 1: take a chance on me. Nine players not normally in
Speaker 1: your starting lineup, many of them available on the waiver wire.
Speaker 1: Will tell you who they are when we return. Welcome
Speaker 1: back to the show, Fantasy Weekly. I'm a fan. Paul Charchi,
Speaker 1: Matt Harrison, Scott Fish with you. Yeah, I far better
Speaker 1: than last weeks. I can tell you that which one
Speaker 1: was last hit Monks the worst. I'd be glad I
Speaker 1: missed it. Yeah, you are glad you've missed Hi, You've
Speaker 1: you've suffered through it before you have you've paid your dues.
Speaker 1: Nine players not normally in your starting line up. Let's
Speaker 1: begin with quarterback positions. Scott Tyrod Taylor. He's far better
Speaker 1: at home, throwing nearly seventy five yards per game. More,
Speaker 1: five of his seven touchdowns have come in his in
Speaker 1: his three home games. Yea and Oakland's allowing tune in
Speaker 1: seventy five yards per game over their last five, including
Speaker 1: three multi touchdown games. They The last time they went
Speaker 1: east to West, they played Kirk Cousins, who threw for
Speaker 1: three forty two and three. Not to mention Tyrod Taylor's
Speaker 1: averaging nearly eight rush attempts at home. He can get
Speaker 1: you some points on the ground there too, gets Jordan
Speaker 1: Matthews back as well. Matt who you got? I have
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers And I admit that this one's a little
Speaker 1: bit of low hanging from Yeah, he's my number five
Speaker 1: quarterback this week. He's uh, he's sev owned in ESPN leagues,
Speaker 1: so that means he's available in thirty and he faces
Speaker 1: the Patriots defense that's allowed the most passing yards and
Speaker 1: the most passing touchdowns. There's not really that much more
Speaker 1: that needs to be said about Philip Brown. No, I
Speaker 1: mind a little choky as well, but not as choky
Speaker 1: as that Andy Dalton. It's where for an offense to
Speaker 1: take a page from the Jaguars. But the Bengals should
Speaker 1: follow the Jaguars game plan last week against the Colts
Speaker 1: basically to the letter. Blake Bortles put a three hundred
Speaker 1: thirty yards last week against the Colts, and this is
Speaker 1: a very good opportunity for Dalton going up against the
Speaker 1: thirty first rank Indianapolis past defense. Only DeShawn Kiser has
Speaker 1: failed to throw for two hundred nine five yards against Indy.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the running back position, Scott, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: have to make a late switch here, but I'm going
Speaker 1: with James White. He's averaging nearly seven targets per game,
Speaker 1: over five targets per five receptions per game, and forty
Speaker 1: yards per game. He's getting seventy per cent in the
Speaker 1: New England running back targets. I like him a lot
Speaker 1: this week. Okay, I made a late swap as well.
Speaker 1: I went with Rex Burkhead. He'stalied only six carries last time,
Speaker 1: but he's averaged over five yards per carry with those touches,
Speaker 1: something he also didn't Week one, and last week was
Speaker 1: his first game back after an injury, so they were
Speaker 1: just working him into the offense little by little. He's
Speaker 1: only on this field for thirteen snaps last week, but
Speaker 1: he had a touch and seven of them. That's over
Speaker 1: the touches per snap. I don't know why you would
Speaker 1: play any other New England running chart. Who you side
Speaker 1: Rex Burkhead. I like that you guys have conspired against
Speaker 1: I've got Dian Lewis. What WHOA? I know that's hard
Speaker 1: to believe. Uh, you guys have already hit all the
Speaker 1: sale talking points against the Chargers. I will mention this
Speaker 1: about Dan Lewis though, averaging five point three yards per carry,
Speaker 1: the most on the team, almost two yards per carry
Speaker 1: more than Mike gillies Lee, who nobody even mentioned. And
Speaker 1: he's a plausible start here as well. If we had
Speaker 1: a fourth person, we'd be mentioning Mike Gillies l Uh.
Speaker 1: Dan Lewis's rushing attempts have increased in five straight games.
Speaker 1: Go to the wide receiver. We did hatch that plan
Speaker 1: in the office last We thought it would be pretty fun,
Speaker 1: pretty good later. I'm sticking with Josh Jackson. If you
Speaker 1: picked him up from mature speculation last week for me,
Speaker 1: I hope you still have him. He plus started and
Speaker 1: played the snaps last week, most snaps of the season
Speaker 1: for him. He gets a bottom six Dallas defense against
Speaker 1: wide receivers. They've allowed the fourth fourth most touchdowns the
Speaker 1: wide receivers. I like docs in this week, I went
Speaker 1: with Tyrrell Williams of the Los Angeles Clippers nine different
Speaker 1: wide receivers of top seventy five yards against New England
Speaker 1: this season. The Pats have allowed the most receptions in
Speaker 1: the second most yards to opposing wide receivers this season.
Speaker 1: And he's completely due after becoming somewhat of an afterthought
Speaker 1: since Mike Williams has decoyed his way into the lineup
Speaker 1: for like one in two targets per week. It's time
Speaker 1: to feed Tyrrell. Uh. But Benny Fowler's role will increase
Speaker 1: again this week with Emmanuel Sanders out again. Last week
Speaker 1: he set season and career highs with five catches. This week,
Speaker 1: he draws one of the worst slot corners in the league,
Speaker 1: Philip Gaines, who ranks dead last at his position by
Speaker 1: Profoball Focus one hundred ninth. Benny Fowler is your final
Speaker 1: take a chance on meat player. Lewis is the best player.
Speaker 1: He is the best. UH. Let's move on to our matchups,
Speaker 1: including Panthers taking on the Bucks. We know the bit
Speaker 1: on Cam Newton at this point that it's very clear
Speaker 1: against bottom tier past defenses, he's dynamite. Against anybody else,
Speaker 1: he's awful. This is a bottom to your past defense. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mentioned last week the same thing with Newton, that
Speaker 1: he's become a matchup play and he does bring them up.
Speaker 1: Though the Bucks are terrible. They allow over three yards
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns per game to quarterbacks, and in weeks
Speaker 1: four through six, when Newton had all those great matchups,
Speaker 1: that's what he was getting. So I expect an a
Speaker 1: A grade out of Newton this week. His top guy,
Speaker 1: Benjamin A grade as well. They're the Bucks are second
Speaker 1: worst against wide receivers. They have allowed ten different wide
Speaker 1: receivers to hit seventy five yards or score touchdown. I
Speaker 1: I like him to do either or both of those things, agreed,
Speaker 1: Vin Foncious. He had successful days against Detroit, New England.
Speaker 1: He disappeared for some others. He's averaging over eight targets
Speaker 1: per game, which is great since Greg Alson went out,
Speaker 1: But over the last couple of weeks he's only caught
Speaker 1: of those. That's not a fluke. He caught less than
Speaker 1: of his past his last last year. I don't know
Speaker 1: that that's on him. Though as much as it is
Speaker 1: on Newton. I don't fantasy numbers though, right. I don't
Speaker 1: think he's a good player, but I think he has
Speaker 1: a great matchup. I'm giving him a C grade, but
Speaker 1: if he falls on his face, I wouldn't be surprised either, honestly, Uh, Dixon,
Speaker 1: I'm benching He's question about Tampa Bay is pretty decent
Speaker 1: against tight end. He's been the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: Jonathan Stewart. I'm not just benching. I'm handcuffing him to
Speaker 1: the bench and hiding his helmet. He is. He's averaged
Speaker 1: just three yards percarried. Is looking for it for him? Yes?
Speaker 1: And one point six yards percary over the last three weeks.
Speaker 1: He's just terrible right now. Uh McCaffrey, I'm going to
Speaker 1: give a B grade to it. Wouldn't surprised me if
Speaker 1: he does better than that. Even the Buckner's are allowing
Speaker 1: five or more catches to four running backs this year,
Speaker 1: and all of those guys scored or had sixty yards.
Speaker 1: McCaffrey's getting over eight targets and over six catches per
Speaker 1: game and half ppr PPR. That's where you're gonna be
Speaker 1: able to start him on the buck side, Winston. He's
Speaker 1: facing a top ten Panthers defense. That's I mean, just
Speaker 1: over two hundred yards per game. It is a tough matchup.
Speaker 1: But in his last four full healthy games, yeah, three
Speaker 1: multi touchdown games for three hundred yard games. I give
Speaker 1: him a B here. I think he might be able
Speaker 1: to rise above the matchup. I'm giving Evans a B
Speaker 1: as well. He's he has yet to crack a hundred yards.
Speaker 1: I get that the Panthers have not allowed a hundred
Speaker 1: yard receiver yet. He probably gets a lot of James Bradbury,
Speaker 1: which is a tough matchup. It is tough, but he
Speaker 1: does get eight targets a game. Winston goes to him
Speaker 1: in contested catches anyway he gets that is true. Winston
Speaker 1: doesn't care. Yeah, ten plus three times. I'm still giving
Speaker 1: him a B grade here. I'm giving him. I'm given
Speaker 1: d Jacks a shake year B grade. He still gets
Speaker 1: seven plus targets per game. He's got that tough matchup
Speaker 1: as well against Carolina, but he does have seventy yards
Speaker 1: or a score in three straight weeks. And when he
Speaker 1: does catch the ball, he's taking him for sixteen yards
Speaker 1: of clips. So it doesn't need doesn't need a lot
Speaker 1: of volume, and he gets Darryl Worley instead of James
Speaker 1: Bradberry and all probability, and so that certainly helps him great.
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay is throwing for the most yards and touchdowns
Speaker 1: to tight ends. Brad At a four game touchdown streak
Speaker 1: that came to an end last week when O. J.
Speaker 1: Howard blew up. But Howard hasn't had more than two
Speaker 1: catches in any other game this year. I'm benching Howard.
Speaker 1: I'm giving Braid a C grade because Carolina is top
Speaker 1: five against tight ends, only Grunk with over thirty yards
Speaker 1: against them. It's even a shaky C grade. I'm a
Speaker 1: little worried there. Doug Martin Carolina top five against running backs.
Speaker 1: No running back over seventy yards against Carolina against Carolina
Speaker 1: this year. But Martin his carries keep increasing fifteen plus
Speaker 1: a game on average. He might get there on volume.
Speaker 1: I'm giving him a C grade. All right? Uh, Matt
Speaker 1: Raiders take on the Bills. No Marshawn Lynch in this one.
Speaker 1: A lot of people on Twitter, with all with this
Speaker 1: being the six team by week, are looking at starting
Speaker 1: Jalen Richard or maybe even Washington. What do you think
Speaker 1: about the Oakland Runners in this game? I got them
Speaker 1: both on the bench. Only one back has topped sixty
Speaker 1: yards against the Bills so far this season, and they've
Speaker 1: allowed only three touchdowns in six games to the position.
Speaker 1: Although the bright spot is they just traded defensive tackle
Speaker 1: Marcel Darius to the Jaguars yesterday. I think Washington gets
Speaker 1: the primary carries. It's probably a sixty split. Yeah, Richard
Speaker 1: is more of the ppr angle, but the Bills have
Speaker 1: only allowed one back to top thirty five yards receiving
Speaker 1: this season, and no running backs have scored through the air.
Speaker 1: That's why I got them both on the bench. Passing game,
Speaker 1: on the other hand, I got a lot of bees
Speaker 1: coming up. Derek Carr with a B. Jameis Winston was
Speaker 1: the first quarterback to throw for multiple touchdowns against the
Speaker 1: Bills of the season, and he went off last week
Speaker 1: and the prior five games they had only allowed to
Speaker 1: total touchdown pass s is. But Buffalo is going to
Speaker 1: be without starting corner e J. Gaines and starting safety
Speaker 1: Jordan's Poyer and cars obviously coming off the huge game
Speaker 1: last week and appears to be fully healthy. Mark Cooper
Speaker 1: also had a huge game last week. He's getting a B.
Speaker 1: Had to ten and two touchdowns last week against Kansas City,
Speaker 1: but only had eighty four total yards and no scores
Speaker 1: in the prior five games. That's why I'm giving him
Speaker 1: the B instead of the A. He's also never scored
Speaker 1: a touchdown and back to back games in his entire career.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so so he's due for a goose egg
Speaker 1: of a touchdown this week unless he's gonna bring the
Speaker 1: trend um. The Bills have given up big games in
Speaker 1: the last two weeks to a J. Green and Mike
Speaker 1: Evans both scored in both top to eight yards. They
Speaker 1: also gave up five catches to seventy three yards to
Speaker 1: the Seawan Jackson last week, which means Michael Crabtree also
Speaker 1: gets a B. He scored in each of his last
Speaker 1: three since returning from an injury, and Jared Cook I
Speaker 1: got a C grade for him. He's coming off a
Speaker 1: season high hundred and seven yards last week against Kansas City,
Speaker 1: and this Bill's defense just got torched by the Tampa
Speaker 1: tight ends last week. Uh they come bind for twelve catches,
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty eight yards and two touchdowns last week.
Speaker 1: I think Cook is uh gotta. He's probably a B
Speaker 1: as well. I think I think I'm not. I'm not
Speaker 1: as optimistic, but we'll see alright. And then over on
Speaker 1: the bill side, it's the Lashawn McCoy show. He's got
Speaker 1: an A. The Raiders have allowed at least eighty five
Speaker 1: total yards to a lead running back in each of
Speaker 1: the last six weeks, and are allowing one five rushing
Speaker 1: yards per game, which is eighth most in the NFL.
Speaker 1: McCoy has had over twenty touches in four straight games,
Speaker 1: had twenty eight last week, five of those being receptions
Speaker 1: to go along with his two rushing touchdowns. I'll interject
Speaker 1: that this show urged you to pick up and trade
Speaker 1: four Leshan McCoy two weeks ago when he was on
Speaker 1: his by and you could get him cheap, knowing that
Speaker 1: this series of games was coming. Very favorable matchup last
Speaker 1: week and another very favorable matchup this week all season
Speaker 1: right and like no hard matchups left. Scott talked about
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor a little bit. He was just take a
Speaker 1: chance on the quarterback. So I'll go to the rest
Speaker 1: of the receiving game. I got all the wide receivers
Speaker 1: on the bench. Their wide receivers are complete disaster, and
Speaker 1: with Charles Clay out this week with a knee injury,
Speaker 1: Nick Leary, Yeah, he's kind of a deep, deep desperation
Speaker 1: play if you're really hurting for a tight end. He's
Speaker 1: been on the field for of the plays the last
Speaker 1: two weeks since Clay has been out, and the Raiders
Speaker 1: have allowed three touchdowns to tight ends in the last
Speaker 1: five weeks, four tight ends of top fifty eight yards
Speaker 1: against the Raiders of the season. So a super deep
Speaker 1: degrade for Nicko Weary. When we come back, Colts take
Speaker 1: on the Bengals. Will tell you if there's any Bengals
Speaker 1: you don't want to play when we return. You're distinctive.
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan, Welcome back to the
Speaker 1: show Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm a fan. You're number twenty three.
Speaker 1: Paul Archie and Matt Harrison and Scott Fish with you,
Speaker 1: um Twitter follower. Paul notes, we can't bench all these players.
Speaker 1: You're saying, the bench when six teams are on by,
Speaker 1: and I get that. You know we can't make them
Speaker 1: score more points because six teams are on by, But
Speaker 1: you know it does loosen up a little bit. Of
Speaker 1: you know what, we what I consider you know what
Speaker 1: what considers a a C grade A little bit for me,
Speaker 1: but just starts to start all your Patriots running backs.
Speaker 1: Is the gist of the story. Yeah, that was that
Speaker 1: for taking from taking chance of me. That was more
Speaker 1: than the gist of it. That was the whole story.
Speaker 1: I think Colts take on the Bengals in this game
Speaker 1: this week, not this game this week. Let's just go
Speaker 1: in a game this week. A grade for Joe Mixon,
Speaker 1: a potential breakout workhorse. Are you Bell Kyle Game concerned
Speaker 1: about the lack of any carries in the second half
Speaker 1: last week? Yes, I am, as a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: but not so much that I'm I'm even conmoly considering
Speaker 1: not starting mixing. I think he goes right back to
Speaker 1: getting the vast majority of the work here. Bengals should
Speaker 1: be ahead throughout the game. That means the game flow
Speaker 1: is going to be on the ground largely. He draws
Speaker 1: a Colts defense that ranks twenty six and run defense.
Speaker 1: They've surrendered the most total touchdowns to opposing backs. I
Speaker 1: love mixing in this game. In a pinch, you could
Speaker 1: go maybe Jeremy Hill or Giovanni Bernard if you have to,
Speaker 1: if maybe Twitter Twitter follower Paul looking for somebody on
Speaker 1: the six team by week uh in the theory being
Speaker 1: that the Bengals could have had so much that they
Speaker 1: go to their backup runners. Maybe it's gonna work that way.
Speaker 1: Scott Fish nailed and Chris Ivory big game two weeks
Speaker 1: ago into that theory, so maybe it works out that way.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the passing game. Andy Dalton
Speaker 1: is an A grade. He was might take a chance
Speaker 1: on the quarterback A J Green obvious A grade, My
Speaker 1: top ranked wide receiver this week. What about some other
Speaker 1: guys he could throw to, like Tyler Croft, who I
Speaker 1: like in this game with a big aide. He's caught
Speaker 1: three touchdowns in the last four weeks. This is his
Speaker 1: strongest matchup of the year against the Colts. They have
Speaker 1: bottomed bottom ten tight end rankings in receiving yards and
Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns allowed. Tyler Croft available in a lot of leagues. Still,
Speaker 1: you can go get him, pick him up. Lastly, Brandon
Speaker 1: LaFell Indianapolis ranks thirty feet in yardage to wide receivers.
Speaker 1: Last week against Jacksonville, Indie allowed the Jaguars wide outs.
Speaker 1: The Jaguars white outs two hundred thirty seven yards to
Speaker 1: the group, so there's enough room to go around. Can
Speaker 1: I throw one more in there? Just for Paul, no
Speaker 1: one else, listen, just Paul, this is John Ross. It
Speaker 1: might be a sneaky play. He's gonna be He's supposed
Speaker 1: to be, supposed to be significantly involved. Four to two forty.
Speaker 1: The Colts have allowed forty pass plays of twenty or
Speaker 1: more yards. That's the most in the league by ten.
Speaker 1: He might get a big play. He really is possible.
Speaker 1: John Ross remember first round raft picked by the Bengals,
Speaker 1: and he is all speed baby. So yeah, in the pitch,
Speaker 1: I think you could. You could go to him. I'd
Speaker 1: rather I'd rather go but in John Ross and is
Speaker 1: what should be his first meaningful game. It would be
Speaker 1: a dark throw, but you could do it all right,
Speaker 1: Indianapolis side, I've got starting grades on two players, but
Speaker 1: just c grades. We begin with the running game. Marlon
Speaker 1: Mack gets a seat. He'll get passing down work in
Speaker 1: a game that should be one sided. So they're gonna
Speaker 1: have to throw a lot. So I'd like Mac Cincinnati
Speaker 1: vulnerable through the air, giving him nearly seven receptions per
Speaker 1: games to running backs. They just gave up one two
Speaker 1: total yards to Lavy on Belt, a lot good chunk
Speaker 1: of that coming through the air, So Marlon Mack with
Speaker 1: a C grade. Gore's on the bench, though, because they're
Speaker 1: gonna be behind, he's losing snaps to Mac. The game
Speaker 1: flow should go away from Gore in this one. No
Speaker 1: running back has found the end zone against Cincinnati since
Speaker 1: Week one, So I'll roll all that together and Gore's
Speaker 1: on the bench. The only wide receiver you're gonna want
Speaker 1: to touch here is t Y Hilton. Cincinnati is a
Speaker 1: very solid secondary, but has shown some vulnerability to opposing
Speaker 1: number one wide outs, who have cashed in four touchdowns
Speaker 1: in the bengals last four games. He'll see more snaps
Speaker 1: from the right side of the field in an effort
Speaker 1: to match him up against Drake Kirkpatrick, who looks like
Speaker 1: he's on his last legs and ranks ninety second among
Speaker 1: quarterback cornerbacks by Pro Football Focus. So they can start
Speaker 1: hilting every other part of the passing game is on
Speaker 1: the bench. The Bengals are the number three pass defense overall.
Speaker 1: They're giving up just one eight passing yards per game.
Speaker 1: Four of the bengals six opposing quarterbacks zero or one touchdowns.
Speaker 1: The guys who didn't were Aaron Rodgers and Ben Roethlisberger
Speaker 1: and Jacoby Brissette. Is a long long way from those
Speaker 1: guys every other part of the passing game on the bench.
Speaker 1: Next matchup forty Niners taking on the Eagles. In this game,
Speaker 1: Pierre Garth Stones got a juicy matchup Scott. He hasn't
Speaker 1: scored yet. Are you gonna be bold and predict the
Speaker 1: first touched out of the year for Pierre Garden? Sure,
Speaker 1: let's do it, alright. Sure y'all pushed me in. I
Speaker 1: took all the drama out of it, right. No, it's
Speaker 1: that's a tough call. I mean this is this is
Speaker 1: a great matchup, starting with the quarterback. Though c J
Speaker 1: bat Third last week he had a good matchup tuning
Speaker 1: outside of that rushing touchdown that saved your fantasy day
Speaker 1: was not great. Are you saying CJ got beat hard?
Speaker 1: I am like it, but he gets the bottom five
Speaker 1: Philly d that's allowing just under three yards per game
Speaker 1: and four multi touchdown games this year. I'm giving him
Speaker 1: a C grade, but it's a shaky one. I probably
Speaker 1: wouldn't start. I mean there's probably a better option, Uh,
Speaker 1: Pierre Garsan, I'm giving an a minus grade. Bryan Johnson
Speaker 1: allows that, right, No, as great, He's still get nine
Speaker 1: targets a game. Yeah, you have to score a touchdown
Speaker 1: based top ten and targets, receptions yards. It's a great matchup.
Speaker 1: So the Eagles receivers allowing fifty yards or scored a
Speaker 1: twelve different receive evers this year. I'll give him an
Speaker 1: a minus. Uh over to Kittle. But over to Kittle,
Speaker 1: Philadelphia has allowed the third most receptions, the fifth most yards,
Speaker 1: and the fourth most touchdowns to tight ends. Terrible, terrible.
Speaker 1: So it's a great matchup. But his snaps, oddly, his
Speaker 1: snap percentage dropped to the whole Iowa connection or whatever Iowa.
Speaker 1: I blew that call Iowa Iowa connection. What happened? Yeah,
Speaker 1: his snap percentage nearly cut in half and they fell
Speaker 1: way behind and he wasn't involved, only saw two targets
Speaker 1: when they fell behind. They'll fall behind here, So I
Speaker 1: see grade because of the matchup. But man, that's tough.
Speaker 1: Carlos Hyde at least seventy five yards in five of
Speaker 1: his six games, but he gets the top five run
Speaker 1: defense in the Eagles. I wonder how much of that
Speaker 1: is because everyone can pass. On the Eagles. They're allowing
Speaker 1: six receptions per game to running backs. Carlos Hide averaging
Speaker 1: five targets per game, and he's already hit tied his
Speaker 1: career his career record for season receptions to when he's seven,
Speaker 1: so he might be able to make it up there.
Speaker 1: B grade for him. On the Eagle side, Wentz and
Speaker 1: Earths are A grades. I I don't know that I
Speaker 1: need to go into it. They're they're just eight. I
Speaker 1: don't need to exactly the league leader in touchdown passes,
Speaker 1: and zach Ertz has the most fantasy points for any
Speaker 1: tight end. Absolutely absolutely, yep. Weirdly, Jeffrey is not showing up.
Speaker 1: Even though Wentz is on fire, he doesn't have He's
Speaker 1: under seventy five yards for five straight games, only one
Speaker 1: touchdown in that span. I'm only giving him a B
Speaker 1: grade even though the four nis are a bottom ten
Speaker 1: past defense elite opportunity, Yeah, great opportunity for him. B grade.
Speaker 1: He might he might show up today. What about revenge
Speaker 1: game for Tory Smith? They didn't want him? I see
Speaker 1: with revenge very big with revenge only Brian, I have
Speaker 1: him on the bench, all right. I don't blame you, Nels.
Speaker 1: I'm giving him an A grade Quarterbacks. Quarterbacks throw into
Speaker 1: the slot against the forty nine hundred, forty two point
Speaker 1: nine passer rating four touchdowns. There you go, Twitter follower Paul,
Speaker 1: he was my he was my original take a chance
Speaker 1: to me wide receiver, and then I went, aglar is
Speaker 1: a little too obvious. So you know that's when I
Speaker 1: brought it down to Benny Fowler. So yeah, I love
Speaker 1: giving him an A all right, onto the running game.
Speaker 1: I am weirdly splitting these two, Blunt and small Wood.
Speaker 1: I'm giving him both B grades. It's a great matchup
Speaker 1: against a bottom two run defense bottom too, yes, exactly. Well,
Speaker 1: it depends on the category you're looking at. But Blunt
Speaker 1: is only averaging fourteen carries per week over the last
Speaker 1: five weeks, and the four ns are only giving up
Speaker 1: three point nine yards per carries. So even if Blunt's
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of carries, he's not involved in
Speaker 1: the passing game just just to make up a great day.
Speaker 1: But he might get it. So I'm giving him a
Speaker 1: B grade. Small Wood, I love though forty niners ranked
Speaker 1: dead last in receiving yards, receptions and receiving touchdowns to
Speaker 1: running backs. That's where small Wood. That's where small Wood lives.
Speaker 1: He was going to be one of our original take
Speaker 1: a chance on me players near seven receptions the game
Speaker 1: to running backs. That's all small would be great for him.
Speaker 1: Love him this week. Now I've got small with it
Speaker 1: running back number. That's how much I like him. Final
Speaker 1: matchup of this segment and Matt, Yeah, if you're slow
Speaker 1: about it, we're not gonna get to our callers, So
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to You're gonna have to find a
Speaker 1: way to plow through a lot of guys to talk
Speaker 1: about in the Chargers and Patriots matchup. Well, let's start
Speaker 1: with the Patriots running game, which we pretty much covered
Speaker 1: and detailed him depth, and take a chance. Mike gillis
Speaker 1: Lee was the only guy we didn't cover. I gotta
Speaker 1: see start for him. It's worth noting that his touch
Speaker 1: totals have declined from twelve to ten to eight over
Speaker 1: the last three weeks, but he still remains the goal
Speaker 1: line back and probably the guy who has the best
Speaker 1: chance of scoring a touchdown. No fumble goes unpunished by
Speaker 1: Bill Belichi. That's true, Tom Brady, I gotta be grade on.
Speaker 1: No quarterback is top two two yards against the Chargers
Speaker 1: this year, although I expect Brady to do so. But
Speaker 1: it's a legit Chargers past defense. That's why Brady gets
Speaker 1: a B instead of an A. Brandon Cooks also getting
Speaker 1: a B. Cooks is averaging a career high nineteen point
Speaker 1: two yards per catch in his top eighty five yards
Speaker 1: are scored in each of the last three weeks. He's
Speaker 1: doing great. He's still be Chris Hogan has topped seventy
Speaker 1: yards or scored in five of the last six. He
Speaker 1: gets a B as well. They run at the two
Speaker 1: best corners. Cooks and Hogan run at the two best
Speaker 1: corners the Chargers have in Casey Hayward and Trevor Williams.
Speaker 1: Though Danny Amondola practicing through a knee injury. I'm giving
Speaker 1: him a CE because he gets the easiest draw against
Speaker 1: slot corner Desmond King. Chargers defense is top ten and
Speaker 1: yards allowed to wide receivers, but have allowed the third
Speaker 1: most touchdowns to the wide receiver position nine and seven games,
Speaker 1: so there's gonna be some touchdowns had by the wide receivers. Gronk,
Speaker 1: I gotta be the tight end is never scored a
Speaker 1: touchdown against the Los Angeles Chargers. Never, never, There you go,
Speaker 1: So there we go. They did hold told Travis Kelsey
Speaker 1: to one catch for one yard earlier this year, but
Speaker 1: zach Ertz ding them for five catches in eighty one yards.
Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit more of the Travis
Speaker 1: or zach Ertz games. Now. This is the only this
Speaker 1: is the only B grade I've given Gronk all year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so. So then we can flip on over
Speaker 1: to the Charger side. Melvin Gordon. I have an a
Speaker 1: Gordon still has the questionable tag next to his name,
Speaker 1: but he practiced in full on Friday, which leaves back
Speaker 1: up Austin Ekeler on your bench despite him being a
Speaker 1: sneaky handcuff grab grab five seven years. This season, yeah,
Speaker 1: Gordon's averaging twenty point six touches per game and the
Speaker 1: Pats are allowing a jaw dropping four point eight yards
Speaker 1: per carry this season. I talked about Philip Rivers, he was,
Speaker 1: might take a chance to me quarterback. I talked about
Speaker 1: Tyrrell Williams, he was, might take a chance to me
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Keenan Allen getting an a in this. Uh,
Speaker 1: don't have to say too much because the Patriots are
Speaker 1: so bad against wide receivers. I'll say this though, I
Speaker 1: think Malcolm Butler is just gonna fall shadow him. Okay,
Speaker 1: and Stephan Gilmour may again may miss another game, and
Speaker 1: so I think there's an opportunity. I think there's an
Speaker 1: opportunity for Keenan Allen to have a a worse than
Speaker 1: expected game and for the other receivers to you all right,
Speaker 1: he hasn't scored since Week one, nine targets in six
Speaker 1: or six or seven of his games this season, so
Speaker 1: the quantity is there. Travis Benjamin I got on the bench.
Speaker 1: It's truly scored twice last week. One was a punt return,
Speaker 1: the other was his loan target in the game. So
Speaker 1: I'm not following that. But Hunter Henry, I have a
Speaker 1: be on Henry's top. Seventy yards are scored in four
Speaker 1: straight weeks, and the Pats are bottom ten in both
Speaker 1: catches and yards allowed to the tight end position this year.
Speaker 1: Let's get some calls. Yeah, we should. Um. If it
Speaker 1: turns out Stephane Gilmour can't go, Johnson Batamosi will be
Speaker 1: you're starting. Johnson BATAMOSEI is actually played really well for
Speaker 1: the Patriots this year. If you check the metrics on it,
Speaker 1: he's he's probably been their best corner. I just like
Speaker 1: to say it's fun to Johnson Batamosi. Yeah, read in Michigan. Hello, Hey,
Speaker 1: how's it going good? Thank you? We love read in Michigan.
Speaker 1: It's been a while. Yeah, I've been laid up for
Speaker 1: a while anyway. My question is in a full point
Speaker 1: PPR Hogan or Smallwood in my spot. I I like
Speaker 1: small Wood. I really like Yeah, I really like small Wood.
Speaker 1: This week, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets five
Speaker 1: or six catches to go along with the rushing to
Speaker 1: receive yards. Were all, we're all over, We're all over Smallwood. Hey,
Speaker 1: would you drop Martevius Bryant to pick up the Shawn Jackson? Oh? Yes, ye,
Speaker 1: you could just stop at the first half of that.
Speaker 1: Would you drop Martevis Bryant? Correct? Yes, you know there's
Speaker 1: somebody else available in your league that you'd rather have.
Speaker 1: All right, can you just leave me on hold and
Speaker 1: I can hang up at lightning? You round? Sure this works? Uh?
Speaker 1: If Reid is laid up isn't it easier if he's
Speaker 1: been laid up? Isn't it easier to call in? I
Speaker 1: think so? Ben, Hello, if his fingers don't work very well? Now?
Speaker 1: Is this the Ben in Portland who often calls? Is
Speaker 1: this the Ben in Portland who often calls in? No,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, this is Milwaukee. Oh, Hi Ben, Milwaukee. Should
Speaker 1: we take this call? Yes? I'll be quick actually, because
Speaker 1: pretty much everything else is already I can't do anything
Speaker 1: else with the bye week, so I'm saying really good
Speaker 1: For whatever reason I picked about ex mrs week and
Speaker 1: uh that was in free agency. Um, and really the
Speaker 1: only question is Hunter Henry. I gave him the PPR
Speaker 1: as the full point. Do you play him or Kyle Rudolph.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of already have Henry and and I didn't
Speaker 1: hear what you guys said about Yeah, I've got him
Speaker 1: ranked number two and number four, so I like both
Speaker 1: of them a lot. Which one did you have I have?
Speaker 1: I have Henry actually two spots higher. I have Henry
Speaker 1: two as well. Yeah, so we're all on Henry. Thanks Ben, Bye, bye,
Speaker 1: thank you, it's working one more e Hello, Hi, good morning, guys,
Speaker 1: you do it good. Thank you. With all the letters
Speaker 1: that we have thrown out today, a's, b's, and c's,
Speaker 1: we have not yet thrown out an your first even
Speaker 1: I throw out a D two. Yeah, there we go. Awesome.
Speaker 1: Hey guys, I'm gonna make this real quick if I
Speaker 1: can get a couple of our questions up. I have
Speaker 1: de Shaun Watson and Jameis Winston uh and looking towards
Speaker 1: uh setups, looking uh looking forward to it. Who should
Speaker 1: I start? Being that Watton has to play San Francisco, Jacksonville,
Speaker 1: and pitt and then Winston has some play Detroit, Atlanta
Speaker 1: and Carolina. I'm looking to trade one of those two,
Speaker 1: but with Winston's shoulder kind of scares me to trade
Speaker 1: either one of them. I don't. I don't. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: trade either one. Play the matchups in your playoffs with
Speaker 1: those two now, then wait till after this weekend, see
Speaker 1: if Watson truly is matchup proof. Okay, And the only
Speaker 1: reason why is that I'm actually rolling with Alvin Kamara
Speaker 1: and I think uh Lean's Dark Wall and Johnson Stewart,
Speaker 1: and I wanted to kind of get rid of John Stewart,
Speaker 1: but I got Devin Tovin Coleman. So that's the only
Speaker 1: reason why I wanted to trade one of those guys. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well we all we all think you should stand Pat.
Speaker 1: Let's you get a really significant deal. Uh, we need
Speaker 1: to We need to take our break for the top
Speaker 1: of the hour. When we come back. Five hot questions,
Speaker 1: see if you can play a lot, see if you
Speaker 1: can go five and oh with our panel of experts
Speaker 1: when we return. You're distinct of Fantasy Football Weekly on
Speaker 1: the Fan. Welcome back to the show. Oh you just
Speaker 1: started me talking about our decade long sponsored grain Belt Premium,
Speaker 1: the official beer Fantasy Football at a reminder to play
Speaker 1: the crush Charts challenge at grain belt dot Com. Last
Speaker 1: week's winner, Joel, I love it when you have to
Speaker 1: try to figure. I gotta face all these guys at
Speaker 1: Manny's in a couple of months, so I gotta I
Speaker 1: gotta give it a best effort. Okay Schlewitz laywitzzwz. Joe
Speaker 1: Slaywitz is our week seven winner. Many thanks as always
Speaker 1: to our friends at the Brewery, Shaan, Ryan, Ted and
Speaker 1: Jody Marty for all their all their support for the show,
Speaker 1: which is fantastic and by the way, so is Grainbell Premium.
Speaker 1: It was so fun to end that show from the
Speaker 1: Brewery this year. That was Oh yeah, that was a
Speaker 1: lot of fun and you got to meet Ted and Jody.
Speaker 1: Great people. Hot question number one, Carson Palmer's gone on
Speaker 1: i R effectively ending his season. Can we drop all
Speaker 1: the Cardinals receivers. No. I think Fitzgerald is still gonna
Speaker 1: be flexible. He's still gonna get the volume. Although with
Speaker 1: stan In he's only top fifty yards once, so it's
Speaker 1: not looking good. But I think he's at least still
Speaker 1: flex of Okay, yeah, I'm kind of on the same thing.
Speaker 1: I think you can drop everybody, but Larry Fitzgerald, um
Speaker 1: blame Gabbert might be slightly better than Drew Stanton and
Speaker 1: might get a chance at some point along the way,
Speaker 1: So there's the little hope there. I think he's still
Speaker 1: a wide receiver three or flex in most leagues, but
Speaker 1: I can't imagine he has any value on the trade
Speaker 1: market right now. But he's one of those guys that
Speaker 1: Church might say right here, that is a sabotage drop
Speaker 1: in your league, and he's a guy that would be
Speaker 1: picked up and held on roster. So if you have
Speaker 1: a strong wide receiver corps, you could go with the
Speaker 1: sabotage drop of Larry Fitzgerald. Of that when I wrote
Speaker 1: the question before, before I knew the answer, you know,
Speaker 1: which is mostly how I worked this is I try
Speaker 1: to find questions that I'm honestly not sure about, and
Speaker 1: I don't know. I thought the answer was going to
Speaker 1: be sabotage, drop Larry and drop everybody else. But then
Speaker 1: I went through the schedule and I thought about, really, what,
Speaker 1: I are there gonna be any scenarios left from starting Fitzgerald,
Speaker 1: and there's going to be probably another five times when
Speaker 1: he's gonna get a C grade the rest of the way.
Speaker 1: So I'm like, I can't quite drop Larry Fitzgerald. Hot
Speaker 1: Question number two, what's the appropriate level of panic for
Speaker 1: those fantasy owners holding Green Bay receivers? Mild moderate internal
Speaker 1: distress or a fistfull of prozac level of panic. I
Speaker 1: think they're so talented that I'm just moderately worried, but
Speaker 1: not not too much right now. Some moderate internal distress
Speaker 1: I related more like to to lane in bed, and
Speaker 1: you hear some noises, and let's give it a week
Speaker 1: or two to check it out. See if you see,
Speaker 1: if you know some mouse droppings. Maybe it was maybe
Speaker 1: it was the wind. Maybe it is some mice in
Speaker 1: the walls. But I'm not I'm not too worried yet.
Speaker 1: I need to see a little bit more of Honey
Speaker 1: before let's let's give it a week or two to
Speaker 1: see if there's mice. No, I'm talking. I'm talking about
Speaker 1: let's see a week or two more of Huntley before
Speaker 1: we get really scared. Okay, let's R E L A X.
Speaker 1: All right, So you're taking mile, I said in internal distress,
Speaker 1: but it's moderate intestinal distresses. Moderate people remember our old
Speaker 1: bit on Fantasy football almost daily. I went with a
Speaker 1: cute panic panic. Yes. Um, the completion percentage for Hunley
Speaker 1: is just awful. He's thrown for one touchdown so far,
Speaker 1: four picks and about seven quarters of work. Jordi had
Speaker 1: only four targets last week, Adams had only five. They
Speaker 1: combined for three catches and twenty five yards against the
Speaker 1: Saints at home. It's possible that he's just really this bad,
Speaker 1: and they're going to rely on Aaron Jones and the
Speaker 1: defense to try to Chicago Bears a few wins until
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers gets back. So I'm super panicked about the
Speaker 1: Green Bay wide receivers, you should be The appropriate level
Speaker 1: of panic is the prozac level. There's just no coding
Speaker 1: how bad Brett Hunley looked last week. I'd I'd like
Speaker 1: to I'd like to say that there was and there's
Speaker 1: he he will get better, but he needs to get
Speaker 1: a lot better. I mean right now. You always were
Speaker 1: in the past where it will just start your pack
Speaker 1: or receivers, you don't care even about the matchups are
Speaker 1: now we got a drill down on matchups, we got
Speaker 1: a drill down on opponents, and the schedules bad they
Speaker 1: got by this week. They get a neutral matchup with
Speaker 1: Detroit next week. And by the way, Cobb is probably
Speaker 1: gonna be on the bench, Davante Adams maybe on the
Speaker 1: bench next week because he's gonna get the sleigh ride
Speaker 1: next week in Detroit, So that's a worry. Then after that,
Speaker 1: deeply negative matchups coming Chicago, Baltimore, Pittsburgh. That is the
Speaker 1: number fourteen, number five, and the number one wide receiver
Speaker 1: defenses by yards allowed. In fact, there's only one particularly
Speaker 1: positive matchup on the schedule for these receivers, and that's
Speaker 1: Week thirteen against Nampa. So your level of distress should
Speaker 1: be high hot. Question number three. Can fantasy owners just
Speaker 1: drop j Gi Matt? Uh No, they can't because he
Speaker 1: already played this week and he's locked in your lineup
Speaker 1: or on your bench, or well here's the time, I'm Monday. Um,
Speaker 1: he's averaging twenty five rushing yards or rushing attempts per
Speaker 1: game prior to heading into that Thursday night or last
Speaker 1: week where they lost forty to nothing and game flow
Speaker 1: just went away from j j I. So I'm throwing
Speaker 1: that one out the window. The touches will maintain. The
Speaker 1: Dolphins are really missing that bye week that they sorely needed,
Speaker 1: which would have been next week for them. Uh Gi,
Speaker 1: you still got the knee and elbow injuries that he's
Speaker 1: working through. I'm not dropping him, but he's probably going
Speaker 1: to be a flex or a bench for me the
Speaker 1: rest of the way. All right, Scott, pretty much everything
Speaker 1: Matt said I agree with. He gets too much volume
Speaker 1: to drop. Plus he does look good on a lot
Speaker 1: of runs. Still, it's just that line is giving him
Speaker 1: no room to breathe. I'm not dropping him yet. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm gonna flex him a lot probably. Yeah. The temptation
Speaker 1: to drop him as high and I understand that, but
Speaker 1: he's still starting running back in the NFL with the
Speaker 1: fourth most carries in the NFL, and if the offensive
Speaker 1: line can give him anything to work with, j J
Speaker 1: I can still be good. Devanny's hot question Number four
Speaker 1: going forward is Alex Collins in RB one, in RB
Speaker 1: two flex or bench Scott. I'm gonna go with r
Speaker 1: B two. His schedule isn't great. He only has to
Speaker 1: two defenses that he'll play that our bottom half of
Speaker 1: the league, otherwise their top half defenses all the way
Speaker 1: through the rest of the season. But he's gonna start
Speaker 1: gaining a lot more volume. Mean, his five plus yards
Speaker 1: per carry is really really good. And then I think
Speaker 1: he showed last week that he can handle the load.
Speaker 1: I don't feel that way at all. Um. I like
Speaker 1: that The yards per carry have certainly been there so
Speaker 1: far this year. The problem is the rushing attempts have
Speaker 1: not been consistent. And if you believe that a Joe
Speaker 1: Flacco is a good quarterback, be Joe Flacco is a
Speaker 1: healthy quarterback or see they can win games forty two nothing.
Speaker 1: I don't think it favors the running game for the Ravens.
Speaker 1: I think he's probably a flex player the rest of
Speaker 1: the way, and he's gonna teeter between flex and bench
Speaker 1: if they can find a good matchup. He is a
Speaker 1: flex player the rest of the way for the reasons
Speaker 1: that Matt just elusive hot question number five after this
Speaker 1: week's by is Sterling Shepherd. A wide receiver one, a
Speaker 1: wide receiver to a flex or a bench. Matt. I
Speaker 1: went into this one pretty negative, but once I dug
Speaker 1: in uh, I figured out that despite how bad the
Speaker 1: Giants have been, Eli Manning is still twelfth in the
Speaker 1: NFL and passing yards and thirteen in the NFL and
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns. Then there's Shepherd and Evan Ingram as the
Speaker 1: only people he can really throw the ball to, and
Speaker 1: that's about it. People forget that he also put up
Speaker 1: eight touchdowns last year and had over a hundred targets,
Speaker 1: and he was significantly downgraded in drafts this year because
Speaker 1: the addition of Brandon Marshall. Well, Brandon Marshall's gone, and
Speaker 1: so is Odell Beckham. So I think he's at least
Speaker 1: worthy of a wide receiver too in most twelve team weeks.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm going a little more than that, but
Speaker 1: I can see your point. I'm going with flex just
Speaker 1: because he's gonna get so much volume for the rest
Speaker 1: of the year. Every matchup he faces is a top
Speaker 1: thirteen past defense except for two, and the two of
Speaker 1: those two San Francisco and Arizona. He might get Patrick
Speaker 1: Peterson if he's the number one wide receiver when they
Speaker 1: play Arizona. I hate the man, I hate the schedule,
Speaker 1: but he a lot of passes. He's gonna get a
Speaker 1: lot of volume. I'm giving him a nice flex play.
Speaker 1: He has a wide receiver to Sterling Shepherd is and
Speaker 1: the It's funny because I looked at the schedule and
Speaker 1: found it to be mostly favorable, including three straight startable
Speaker 1: opportunities in the next four weeks. Rams Niners Chiefs. He's
Speaker 1: got by this week, then rams Niners Chiefs. Those are
Speaker 1: the number seventeen, twenty four, and twenty eight ranked defenses
Speaker 1: by wide receiver yards allowed. So I saw the schedules
Speaker 1: are positive. Well, you touched him. That I think really
Speaker 1: deserves more um time on is whether or not the
Speaker 1: Giants are gonna take Sterling Shepherd out of the slot
Speaker 1: and bump him outside. I think that they will, and
Speaker 1: that they should because us next year they need a
Speaker 1: replacement for Brandon Marshall on the outside opposite Odell Beckham.
Speaker 1: This is a great opportunity to get Sterling Shepard Reps
Speaker 1: on the outside. He's their best receiver the slot. It's
Speaker 1: not like you can't be an effective receiver from the slot.
Speaker 1: Obviously you can be, but you can't. It's hard to
Speaker 1: be an elite number one receiver when you are playing
Speaker 1: from the slot position. So I think they're gonna bump
Speaker 1: him outside, and to your point, that means he's going
Speaker 1: to draw guys like Josh Norman and Patrick Peterson, two
Speaker 1: players too, tough tough corners that are on the schedule,
Speaker 1: but those are the only two shutdown corners on the schedule.
Speaker 1: Those too. I bet they just move him around a
Speaker 1: lot that could happen as well, which would make sense,
Speaker 1: and try to find favorable matchups. So there we go. Hey,
Speaker 1: I went five for five. Nicely done. You're only one.
Speaker 1: You're only one short of the all time record for five.
Speaker 1: Last two get the six for five. I'm I'm really
Speaker 1: looking forward to the extra credits. My matchups for him
Speaker 1: were based Don Sharp Warren Sharp, so like um, A
Speaker 1: couple of things I want to know before we move
Speaker 1: on to our our next set of matchups. Weather issues
Speaker 1: brewing on the East coast. The Jets game. Uh, it's
Speaker 1: all rain, by the way, and but potentially very heavy rain.
Speaker 1: You're gonna want to pay attention to this. How cold
Speaker 1: will it be? Um? Not very cold? There's enough for No,
Speaker 1: don't no, not yet, save it, save it. It's coming. No.
Speaker 1: We almost had it here. We almost had conditions here yesterday. Uh.
Speaker 1: Jets game, potential of rain, Eagles game at home rain
Speaker 1: the uh oh. And the last one is the Washington
Speaker 1: Redskins game. Rain, So watch those. Even the Bills are
Speaker 1: gonna get light rain, but that shouldn't be as bad
Speaker 1: on the other side of New York. So that's those
Speaker 1: are ones you want to pay some attention to before
Speaker 1: before kickoff. They the Redskins game is an evening, so
Speaker 1: that one's gonna be a little bit trickier. By and large, though,
Speaker 1: I don't let rain change my opinions on on things
Speaker 1: unless it's really really severe. Um. For the most part,
Speaker 1: I don't let that that stop me. But there there's
Speaker 1: a chance it is going to be pretty severe rain.
Speaker 1: I think we could talk more about the Redskins and
Speaker 1: why don't we right to that. Right now, Redskins take
Speaker 1: on the Cowboys and Matt, I understand there could be rain, yes,
Speaker 1: but it's going to be well above thirty two wish degrees.
Speaker 1: So we're from there. There is that. Fortunately, it's my matchup. Now.
Speaker 1: You're sorry because you brought it up. I assumed it
Speaker 1: was yours. I was just trying to help you out.
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Thank you. Well done. Redskins running game.
Speaker 1: Chris Thompson has been a fantastic find and he's He's
Speaker 1: really Kirk Cousin's most reliable option in the entire passing
Speaker 1: game at all positions. He's now gone for one hundred
Speaker 1: total yards and or a touchdown in five of the
Speaker 1: last six games. Another favorable matchup this week against the Cowboys,
Speaker 1: who give up four and a half it's per carried.
Speaker 1: They've given up eight or more targets two running backs
Speaker 1: in four different games this year. So Chris Thompson keep
Speaker 1: the good times of rolling baby. He also leads the
Speaker 1: Redskins in rushing and receiving, so that too, um and
Speaker 1: for that reason, Rob Kelly's on the bench. Soma p
Speaker 1: Ryan clearly on the bench as well. Kelly only had
Speaker 1: seven rushes last Monday, and that was a close game.
Speaker 1: If this one isn't close, to be potentially even worse.
Speaker 1: So I don't, I don't, I'm not. I'm not interested
Speaker 1: in Rob Kelly at this stage. Let's go to the
Speaker 1: passing game. Kirk Cousins gets to be Dallas currently ranks
Speaker 1: nineteenth against the past and passing touchdowns allowed, and Cousins
Speaker 1: smoked the Cowboys in the two games last year. Is
Speaker 1: average game against the Cowboys last year three hundred seventy
Speaker 1: five yards and two and a half touchdowns. Cousins has
Speaker 1: thrown multiple touchdowns and three straight games. And the benching
Speaker 1: of Terrell Prior is an addition by subtraction, he's on
Speaker 1: the bench as well. What the heck happened? By the way?
Speaker 1: Drop her ble outright, just dropped, just dropped Terrell. There's
Speaker 1: there's a touch of sabotage drop in that one, just
Speaker 1: a little bit. Jamison Crowder is the guy that earlier
Speaker 1: in the year I said is gonna bounce around rosters
Speaker 1: and every team's gonna have him once and try him.
Speaker 1: He's on the bench here. He's working out of the
Speaker 1: slot that matches him up against solid cornerback Orlando Scandrick
Speaker 1: Crowder hasn't found the end zone this year, hasn't topped
Speaker 1: sixty receiving yards all year. And the funny thing is
Speaker 1: last year he was good. He was startable in spots.
Speaker 1: He was maybe the best receiver at times. Last year.
Speaker 1: Nothing out of Crowder this year. He's got to be
Speaker 1: on the bench. Unfortunately, Josh Dockson was Scott Fish's take
Speaker 1: a chance on the wide receiver. He's got a C
Speaker 1: grade for me. Jordan Reid's got to see he broke
Speaker 1: out last week and now he goes up against the
Speaker 1: Cowboys defense that he lit up for ten catches, ninety
Speaker 1: five yards and two scores of Week twelve in Week
Speaker 1: twelve of last season. But they've been really good against
Speaker 1: tight ends this year, averaging just four catches per game.
Speaker 1: They've only given up one tight end touchdown. And Jordan
Speaker 1: Reid was awful in every game besides the one last week.
Speaker 1: So I don't trust him enough to move him ahead
Speaker 1: of a C grade. Let's go to the Dallas side.
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott obvious A grade. He's my number two ranked
Speaker 1: running back overall this year. Even though Washington is a
Speaker 1: good run defense, He's still obviously somebody you're gonna start
Speaker 1: in all situations. In the passing game, Dak Prescott's quietly
Speaker 1: having an elite fantasy year with multiple passing touchdowns in
Speaker 1: every game since the opener. The Redskins secondary has slumped
Speaker 1: without Josh Norman, but it looks like he will return. Here.
Speaker 1: Washington had fallen to twentieth against the past thirty feet
Speaker 1: against quarterback rushing, and here's Prescott averaging twenty two rushing
Speaker 1: yards per game against Washington last year. He scored a
Speaker 1: touchdown on the ground in both games against Washington last year.
Speaker 1: So Dak Prescott a grade. Des Bryant remains in a grade.
Speaker 1: Even with Josh Norman coming back, he probably is not
Speaker 1: playing it close to full strength here. Brian has found
Speaker 1: ways to put up solid fantasy numbers despite great coverage
Speaker 1: from a lot of good corner backs, including Patrick Peterson
Speaker 1: got a touchdown of that game, and so there's a
Speaker 1: lot of good operat plus the Josh Norman does Bryant
Speaker 1: cute trash talk commercials. I never seen it. I never
Speaker 1: seen need to see that. Gross. He has scored in
Speaker 1: four the past five games last year against Norman, does
Speaker 1: put up. These are combined put up a hundred two
Speaker 1: yards and seventy two yards in the two games, but
Speaker 1: did not score. I've still got an a grade on
Speaker 1: des Bryant, b great on Jason Witten. The Redskins rank
Speaker 1: dead last in receiving yards to opposing tight ends eight
Speaker 1: seven per game. Meanwhile, wins fourth among tight ends and
Speaker 1: receptions and touchdowns. And if she have no problem getting
Speaker 1: open against a defense that's been particularly hard hit against
Speaker 1: elite tight ends. Cole beasily is on the slot. It
Speaker 1: runs from the slot. He's on the bench against Kendall Fuller,
Speaker 1: a good slot corner. Let's take a break when we
Speaker 1: come back. Final set of matchups. We've got lightning round looming,
Speaker 1: premature speculation, plenty more to get to when we return
Speaker 1: to Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan. You're distinctive Fantasy
Speaker 1: Football Weekly on the Fan. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly
Speaker 1: on the Fan. We've got a handful of matchups to
Speaker 1: get through here and then we'll get to premature speculation.
Speaker 1: Lightning round. We begin with the Texans going to the Seahawks.
Speaker 1: The highest scoring quarterback in many fantasy leagues has been
Speaker 1: to Shawn Watson, and now Scott he travels to Seattle
Speaker 1: for a brutal matchup. What do you think does he
Speaker 1: keep the hot street going or does he cool off here?
Speaker 1: It's tough to tell. He did tear up New England,
Speaker 1: Kansas City, Tennessee, and Cleveland, who were all bottomed defense
Speaker 1: at the time. But Seattle is only allowing just over
Speaker 1: two yards to quarterbacks and five touchdowns on the season.
Speaker 1: That's it. That's unreal. Watson, however, second NFL touchdown passes,
Speaker 1: but he leads in points per game or you know,
Speaker 1: rushing yards per game, so that's that might be where
Speaker 1: he can make up some of the ground. I'll mention this,
Speaker 1: Seattle is not giving up a quarterback rushing touchdown in
Speaker 1: fourteen games. I thought you're gonna say, like fourteen years.
Speaker 1: That Actually when I when I when I did the
Speaker 1: stat I thought it was gonna be like I looked
Speaker 1: it up and it was fourteen. But it's still a lot.
Speaker 1: I'm a big Watson fans. I'm giving him a partly
Speaker 1: biased B grade to think that he can rise a
Speaker 1: little bit above the matchup, but be grade for him,
Speaker 1: be great for Hopkins. He's probably gonna get Sherman hopefully
Speaker 1: they move him around a little bit. But literally, did
Speaker 1: he get on the plane today? Yeah? Or any of
Speaker 1: the Texans even gonna bother playing? Yeah, exactly, that's the
Speaker 1: next question. Well, if he does show up and the
Speaker 1: Texans do play, it doesn't really matter where he lines up.
Speaker 1: That defense it's really solid. They've only allowed three touchdowns
Speaker 1: to wide receivers this year, but that eleven targets per game.
Speaker 1: He gets fed so many. How many people are gonna
Speaker 1: show up to the Seattle game wearing like the orange jumpsuit? Wouldn't? Yeah,
Speaker 1: man could be sorry, continue grade Hopkins will fuller C grade.
Speaker 1: I I don't even like it, but I can't deny
Speaker 1: that it keeps scoring. How is he doing it? Five
Speaker 1: touchdowns on just fourteen targets. That's not sustainable, It's not
Speaker 1: at all. But I guess I'm gonna ride that horse
Speaker 1: until she bucks me, and I'm I'm gonna throw him
Speaker 1: in there with a C grade just in case he
Speaker 1: keeps scoring. Watson seems to like him there, So now
Speaker 1: you're gonna ride this horse until it poops in a wall. No, No,
Speaker 1: that's that's only for the mice man. You're not going
Speaker 1: to ride a mouse either right, it sounds like a
Speaker 1: really weird country song. It does a mouse, maybe a
Speaker 1: lot of mouse, mice in the shape of craps. Thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you, Griffin giving it at tight end, giving him
Speaker 1: a C grade. Uhas are allowing him about sixty yards
Speaker 1: per game in the tight end, which is not that good.
Speaker 1: And Griffin's getting six targets a game over the last four.
Speaker 1: There's a matchup opportunity there. I don't love it, but
Speaker 1: I'm giving him a C grade. For Lamar Miller, uh,
Speaker 1: Seattle's top five against the run allowed the fewest receptions
Speaker 1: to running backs. But Lamar Miller has over eight yards
Speaker 1: and three straight games and he's he's touching the ball
Speaker 1: fifteen times every single game. I'm giving him a C
Speaker 1: grade just on just on the opportunity of volume there.
Speaker 1: I'm benching Foreman. He's been too and consistent with his touches.
Speaker 1: Over on the Seahawks side, I'm giving Wilson in a
Speaker 1: grade like a don't say you're gonna get in trouble.
Speaker 1: I almost said noe A grade. Uh it's a shaky one. Though.
Speaker 1: The Texans were lit up by Tom Brady and Alex Smith,
Speaker 1: and they held down Bordles, Dalton, Hogan and that Mariotta
Speaker 1: Castle Combo. So I think Wilson's closer to the other two,
Speaker 1: So I like him, giving him an A grade here. Baldwin, Uh,
Speaker 1: favorable match up against Kream accs in, but just five
Speaker 1: wide receivers have over sixty yards against the Texans. That's
Speaker 1: probably Baldwin. He's probably the only one that's gonna do that,
Speaker 1: averaging eight and a half targets per game. The Texans
Speaker 1: secondary ravaged by injury before the bye week, now presumably
Speaker 1: coming out of it, I think they're much much better shape. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that and for that reason, I'm benching Richardson and Lockett
Speaker 1: two inconsistent with their targets. Uh. Jimmy Graham, I'm giving
Speaker 1: him a B grade. Kelsey and Gronk tore up the Texans. Uh,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham scored in two straight. He's getting eight targets
Speaker 1: per game. You know, of the he's dropping like half
Speaker 1: of them, it feels like at this point. But he's
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of a lot of opportunity to
Speaker 1: make production here. Rawl's Lacey process mckiss. I'm I'm benching
Speaker 1: them all. Texans Top five against the run. No running
Speaker 1: back with under twenty five carries his top sixty yards.
Speaker 1: Nobody's getting twenty five carries for that backfield and I agree.
Speaker 1: I agree. Let's go to our next matchup, Steelers taking
Speaker 1: on the Lions. Lions past defense can be awfully good.
Speaker 1: Ben roethlis time spen Roethlisberger, of course, always a shaky
Speaker 1: start on the road. What do you think about this
Speaker 1: matchup for the passing game? Well, Big Ben happens to
Speaker 1: like Ford Field because it's the site of his victory
Speaker 1: twelve years ago. Story. Yes, Uh, he's not. I'm not
Speaker 1: afraid of Detroit's defense. Though, three of the last four
Speaker 1: quarterbacks to face the lines of thrown for multiple touchdowns.
Speaker 1: The one that didn't was case Keenum. Uh so I
Speaker 1: have Ben Roethlisberger is a B grade in this game, easy,
Speaker 1: A grade to Antonio Brown and Levy on Bell. Don't
Speaker 1: have to talk much more about them, Juju Smith Schuster.
Speaker 1: I'm getting him a C grade to The Steelers will
Speaker 1: be without Mark Tavis Bryant, who's on the scout team. Now,
Speaker 1: I didn't know NFL teams had Scott teams, and I
Speaker 1: don't think they do up just for him scout team
Speaker 1: and then man the taxi squad. Maybe Vance McDonald's also
Speaker 1: out of this game, so Juju gets a little bit
Speaker 1: of a bump. He's scored in three of his last
Speaker 1: six games. He will not draw the sleigh ride. He's
Speaker 1: Darius Slay is expected to go on Antonio Brownell game
Speaker 1: because Vance McDonald's out. Some might think Jesse James, but
Speaker 1: he's still on the bench. He hasn't topped fifty yards
Speaker 1: this season and he's caught zero point zero balls in
Speaker 1: the last two weeks, so he's on the bench. Over
Speaker 1: to the Detroit side, a Mere Abdullah gets a B grade.
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon was averaging almost seven yards per carry against
Speaker 1: the Steelers in the first half last week. Yeah, until
Speaker 1: then they didn't hand in the ball in the second half.
Speaker 1: I don't know why. Kareem Hunt, Leo for Nette, Jordan Howard,
Speaker 1: and the Alex Collins buck Allen Combo each topped one
Speaker 1: hundred total yards against the Steelers this season, So I
Speaker 1: think a Mere Dula is a solid B. Matthew Stafford's
Speaker 1: getting a C grade, but he's closer to a bench grade.
Speaker 1: For me. No quarterback has topped two hundred forty six
Speaker 1: yards against the Steelers this season. In fact, they've had
Speaker 1: more quarterbacks throw for less than two hundred yards than
Speaker 1: more than two hundred yards. It's four to three right now,
Speaker 1: so they've been very good against the pass. Plus, Golden
Speaker 1: Tate has a sprained a C joint and he was
Speaker 1: limited in practice all week, and I think I'm gonna
Speaker 1: put him on the bench just because this is a
Speaker 1: Sunday night game. Yeah, you don't know risk it. You
Speaker 1: don't know completely if he's going to go. If you're
Speaker 1: absolutely desperate to have Golden Tate in your lineup, I
Speaker 1: think you think you have to have Juju Smith Schuster
Speaker 1: as your backup. Maybe, but he's been rostered everywhere now.
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones or Benny Fowler, Churches Guy Ben That those
Speaker 1: are the three guys that I think you have to
Speaker 1: have on the bench if you're planning on putting Tate
Speaker 1: in your lineup. For now, Marvin Jones is on the
Speaker 1: bench to Kenny Golladay is actually hurt as he had
Speaker 1: a setback. I don't think he's gonna go. Um he's
Speaker 1: been ruled out and uh Eric Ebron has failed the
Speaker 1: top ten yards in four of six can we just stop,
Speaker 1: We just never bring up his name on the show again. Done?
Speaker 1: All right, good, thank you. When premature speculation, we'll give
Speaker 1: you guys to pick up one week before the rest
Speaker 1: of your league Lightning Round in our final match up
Speaker 1: the Monday Night or Kansas City taking on Denver. Fit

Speaker 1: dot com slash chart, put in a lineup. If you
Speaker 1: end up beating me, you get in any week you

Speaker 1: pool and that is free to play fambill dot com
Speaker 1: slash chart and you'll start getting your fan ball number scored,
Speaker 1: which is great. Yeah, that's always fun too. Chiefs take
Speaker 1: on the well, let's do premature speculation. We've done so many. Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's premature speculation again. These are guys that we encourage
Speaker 1: you to pick up now that we think are gonna
Speaker 1: be hot waiver wire targets next week, and you'll already
Speaker 1: have him on your team. Scott, I'm going with D. D. Westbrook,
Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver. He had a couple hundred yard
Speaker 1: games in the preseason. Uh, he's a big play threat.
Speaker 1: Had three catches for over thirty yards in the preseason.
Speaker 1: He's been on I R. He comes back after the bye. Uh.
Speaker 1: No one for Jacksonville is really stepping up and they're
Speaker 1: hurt a lot. So I don't think it's a good
Speaker 1: offense for passing very much. But you know it's it's
Speaker 1: a nice dart throw there. That is a dart throw,
Speaker 1: all right. That was very tepid that really he didn't
Speaker 1: well portals is still his quarters. Yeah, I have a
Speaker 1: guy who's not exciting as well. But I am excited
Speaker 1: about an aspect of his matchup next week. It's Tyler Higbee.
Speaker 1: If you're in need of a tight end next week, alright,
Speaker 1: because next week there's a handful of really good tight
Speaker 1: ends on by Gronk Hunter, Henry and Antonio Gates, Kyle Rudolph,
Speaker 1: and if you're in a deep league, David and Joku.
Speaker 1: They're all on by next week. Tyler Higgbee gets the
Speaker 1: Giants next week, and the Giants fable defense has given
Speaker 1: up a touchdown to a tight end eight times in
Speaker 1: seven games this season. So avoid the rush and pick
Speaker 1: up the take a chance on me end week, Tyler,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna take full credit next week, alright. My
Speaker 1: premature speculation is first round rookie receiver Corey Davis for Tennessee,
Speaker 1: who has missed every game since Week one. Uh and
Speaker 1: in that game targeted ten times in that game, not
Speaker 1: nine times, nine times, principal, principle, not get that skinner, principal,
Speaker 1: look it up for me. All year, no other Titans
Speaker 1: receiver has been targeted more than the ten times that
Speaker 1: Corey Davis got in Week one. He's been languishing with
Speaker 1: his hamstring injury, but will resume practicing next week, and
Speaker 1: ESPN is reporting that he will play next week against Baltimore.
Speaker 1: So you need to pick him up this week. Ed Rooney,
Speaker 1: Ed Rooney Principal, Ed Rooney, Absolutely, that is exactly what
Speaker 1: it is. And is the guy the actor who played
Speaker 1: out of jail jail. I think he's still in jail.
Speaker 1: The Titans have gotten almost nothing from their receivers. They
Speaker 1: need Corey Davis and especially is big play pop So
Speaker 1: Corey Davis premature speculation a great Ed Rooney quote. Yes, please.
Speaker 1: I did not achieve this position in life by having
Speaker 1: some snot nosed punk leave my cheese out in the wind.
Speaker 1: Leave my cheese out in the wind. What Let's go
Speaker 1: to Chiefs Broncos. This is at Broncos. Kareem Hunt scoreless streak,
Speaker 1: by the way, is four games for Kareem Hunt. Drop
Speaker 1: a hell of its advantageding your own team. It will
Speaker 1: not get any easier against the Broncos, who have yet
Speaker 1: to allow a running back rushing touchdown this year. Now
Speaker 1: they have given up two receiving scores, and Hunt obviously
Speaker 1: is a very capable pass catcher. Uh He's managed at
Speaker 1: least three receptions and six of his seven games to
Speaker 1: this point. B grade for Kareem Hunt. Let's go to
Speaker 1: the passing game. Alex Smith has never posted a three
Speaker 1: hundred yard game against Denver home or away. He's also
Speaker 1: his three straight one touchdown games against Denver. Denver secondary
Speaker 1: has been a little more touchdown friendly this year. They've
Speaker 1: given up multiple scoring strikes in four or six games,
Speaker 1: but no quarterbacks top two fifty yards against them. They're
Speaker 1: the sixth best in yardage allowed and third best in
Speaker 1: quarterback rushing yards allowed. So I see a middling performance
Speaker 1: here about for Alex Smith in the two hundred twenty
Speaker 1: five yard one and a half touchdown range. And that's
Speaker 1: similar what he did against Pittsburgh two weeks ago where
Speaker 1: he had two six and one. Yeah, very similar probably
Speaker 1: thank you yes, against another very good past defense. Uh.
Speaker 1: That means Tyreek Hill also a C grade. He did
Speaker 1: score both of last season's games with the Broncos, although
Speaker 1: one of them was a rushing touchdown. Um, you're gonna
Speaker 1: have the banking and finding the end zone for fantasy relevance.
Speaker 1: Denver has given up six wide receiver touchdowns, but no
Speaker 1: whiteout is topped even sixty five yards against Denver all
Speaker 1: year they ranked second best and wide receiver yardage allowed,
Speaker 1: so it's a tough matchup for Tyreek Hill. Travis Kelsey
Speaker 1: though a grade here. It's so hard to beat Denver
Speaker 1: along the perimeter, along the edges, with the great corners,
Speaker 1: so a lot of teams will used the tight end
Speaker 1: for that. Tight ends are getting a six catches seventy
Speaker 1: six yards per game against the Broncos since the season opener,
Speaker 1: and that's almost exactly what Kelsey averages. He's six and seventies,
Speaker 1: so we can pretty much count on that better. Better still,
Speaker 1: Kelsey obliterated the Broncos last just torched them nineteen catches
Speaker 1: in the two games, both of them one hundred yard
Speaker 1: performances against Denver last year. Denver is gonna watch the
Speaker 1: tape and they're gonna want to take it away, but
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that they can. A grade Travis Kelsey.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Denver side. We'll start with the
Speaker 1: running game. I've just got a C grade on C. J. Anderson,
Speaker 1: who's deeply disappointed me the last two weeks, squandering two
Speaker 1: primo opportunities to hammer the Giants and the Chargers struggling
Speaker 1: run defenses. You only got nineteen carries in those two games,
Speaker 1: so I want to give him a stronger recommendation. Here
Speaker 1: he goes up against the Chiefs run defense that's giving
Speaker 1: a four point seven yards per carry. But these are
Speaker 1: the same quality of opportunities he's had the last two weeks. Ah,
Speaker 1: I'll have to get his yardage on the ground because
Speaker 1: the Chiefs of Stemy deposing runners through the air, giving
Speaker 1: up just twenty five scoreless yards per game to running back.
Speaker 1: So Cjmerson just to see grade here, let's go to
Speaker 1: the let's go to the passing game. Trevor Simeon takes
Speaker 1: his four games slide into arrowhead. No wait, this is
Speaker 1: a This is not a narrowhood. This is in uh.
Speaker 1: This is in Denver. Sorry, um seeming through for three
Speaker 1: hundred sixty eight yards and three touchdowns in UH in
Speaker 1: this matchup last year in Denver, Kansas Snow He didn't. Uh,
Speaker 1: yeah he did. Kansas City is allowed eleven touchdowns versus
Speaker 1: one pick through the air, and it's past four outing.
Speaker 1: They're giving up the third most passing yards and six
Speaker 1: months passing scores overall. C grade for Simeon. It's a
Speaker 1: nice matchup, but I don't trust him to exploit it.
Speaker 1: D Marius Thomas, though, does get an A grade that
Speaker 1: one is an arrowhead, Church is an arrowhead, thank you
Speaker 1: very much. So how did I end up with this
Speaker 1: in Broncos that Broncos. I don't know. Sorry, I will
Speaker 1: blame you. Actually, I think it was because I think
Speaker 1: very well you think backwards in our in our matchup list,
Speaker 1: I think it is on you. Kansas City's twenty eight
Speaker 1: and wide receiver yardage allowed. They've given up nearly three
Speaker 1: scores per game to the position. Thomas obviously is a
Speaker 1: very good receiver, but you don't even have to be
Speaker 1: very good to score in the Chiefs this year. Danny Amondola,
Speaker 1: Travis Benjamin will Fuller, Terrell Prior scored so all big
Speaker 1: games there for those guys I like to marry as
Speaker 1: Thomas and Bennie Fowler was my take a chance on
Speaker 1: the wide receiver, and I think he is a really nice,
Speaker 1: sneaky start. It's time for lightning round, my favorite lightning
Speaker 1: round of the year. It is our favorite lightning round
Speaker 1: of the year, the spookiest one great answer like vampires. No,
Speaker 1: you know how this works? It is one question and
Speaker 1: one question only between two players, and only two players,
Speaker 1: so you know the ground rules. Let's go. Peter, you
Speaker 1: are first? Hello? Hi? Uh DeAndre Hopkins or Brandon and
Speaker 1: Cook Hopkins or Cooks. Wow, I think I'm going with
Speaker 1: I'm going with Cooks. I like his match a little
Speaker 1: bit better. Okay, John your next? Yeah? Or James White?
Speaker 1: Non video? You can't start, No, you can't. Brutal, brutal match.
Speaker 1: Probably drop. It's almost that bad, it really is. Matt
Speaker 1: your next, Matt whom Matt, your cell phone's cutting out.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, man, we can't hear you. Head. You're next? Yeah.
Speaker 1: I'm wondering about Breeze or Cousins. I got Drew Breese
Speaker 1: up at number two or no, sorry, number four at
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. It's a home game for Breeze. Over
Speaker 1: the last three years, his average home game three hundred
Speaker 1: thirty three yards and two and a half touchdowns. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna take Breeze. Fill your next, guys, think Fuller
Speaker 1: or Fowler. Wow. I don't like Fuller's matchup, and he's
Speaker 1: he's not actually getting that many targets per game. I
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna go to take a chance on me.
Speaker 1: Fowler in this name Fowler. How about that? That's bold
Speaker 1: Kent You're next, Yeah, PPR, League Gain Jr. Or Smallwood?
Speaker 1: Who is again? Or Smallwood? You bet you put the
Speaker 1: junior and just so you knew it wasn't Ted Kain's father,
Speaker 1: that's true. Yeah, I'm gonna go Smallwood, all right? Uh? Dan,
Speaker 1: you are next on the fan? Hello halfpoint gprula or
Speaker 1: Doug Martin. Thank you. Yeah, I'm gonna take Abdulla in
Speaker 1: the easier matchup. The problem broadly with Doug Martin this
Speaker 1: year has been a defense is so bad they can't
Speaker 1: run the ball in the second half of games. And
Speaker 1: I don't know if that changesn't despite more carries, his
Speaker 1: rushing yards are going down each week, which is troubling
Speaker 1: as well. John, You're next, bether or Simeon Bethard. I
Speaker 1: think your time about c J Bethard or Trevor Simeon. Yeah,
Speaker 1: probably Simeon against Kansas City. I think Ryan You're next,
Speaker 1: non PPR. James White towards Gat non PPR. Yeah, that's that.
Speaker 1: I think it's helplessly when it's non PPR, he's got
Speaker 1: the better chance of the touchdowntown and so to Phil.
Speaker 1: Your next Cars Watson or car uh Cars playing Buffalo. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've actually got him. I've got him right, very similarly
Speaker 1: tenth and twelve, but I've got Car a little bit higher.
Speaker 1: The Bill's pass defense will just run through by Jameis
Speaker 1: Winston and E. J. Gaines. Their cornerback is gonna be
Speaker 1: out for this game. Spin. It says Spin as your name,
Speaker 1: but maybe that's not right. I don't know, Hello, Spin,
Speaker 1: how are you doing standard Fleck, Sponge or Hogan. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with Hogan. I think Funchess has the better matchup,
Speaker 1: but I can't trust him. Yeah, good, Mark, you're on
Speaker 1: the fan Casey's defense against Denver or Newer New Orleans
Speaker 1: against Chicagoan. I'm going to take Kansas City's defense at
Speaker 1: home against Trevor Simeon. Arthur your next, yeah, Big or Smith. See,
Speaker 1: I'm nervous about Diggs, you know, I you know, there's
Speaker 1: so many scenarios where this thing could go ugly for Diggs, including,
Speaker 1: by the way, potentially very good coverage from McCarty, but
Speaker 1: also the reinjury factor for a groin is always significant.
Speaker 1: The fact they have a bye week looming, the Vikings
Speaker 1: could get ahead against the Windlass Browns and then rest Diggs.
Speaker 1: I'm worried. There's a lot of scenarios where this thing
Speaker 1: could go bad, badly for days. Luckily, you'll know if
Speaker 1: he's active very early, very early. We'll know if he's
Speaker 1: active sometime around seven am. Barry, You're next, or yeah,
Speaker 1: this is what happens when six teams are on by
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna go with Simeon on this one. It's
Speaker 1: it's really I'd go with McCown and in my mind,
Speaker 1: I'd at least take the guy who's playing well. Elkins
Speaker 1: matchup is better and he's playing good, So I don't
Speaker 1: think the best stuff that's better. LaVey, You're next, Ted
Speaker 1: Gain are the lifted as questionable? Emmanuel Sanders. I don't
Speaker 1: think Sanders is Bennit's that pretty easy answer that to be, really,
Speaker 1: because especially since the Monday night game, you gotta go
Speaker 1: a game unless you're packing up Fowler. Yeah, that ye back,
Speaker 1: and I could do that if you wanted to. But
Speaker 1: I think I just start in and simplify. Mike your next,
Speaker 1: Derek Carr or Jameis Winston. Uh, I got him ranked
Speaker 1: tenth and eleven, but I've got car one spot higher.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go with him. Kevin, You're next, Uh, Jenks
Speaker 1: or GPS right? Wow? Uh? I think I'm gonna leave
Speaker 1: Juju Smith against Detroit's I think he's got a better
Speaker 1: cornerback matchup as well. Let me mention this r gonna
Speaker 1: be just to know all my player rankings and the
Speaker 1: full explanations available at fanball and so you and see
Speaker 1: what went into the grading, and then you can decide
Speaker 1: yourself you agree or don't agree with how we've got
Speaker 1: our guys rank So we encourage you to check that
Speaker 1: out and it's totally free at fanball dot com. Brian,
Speaker 1: You're next? What's that Diggs or Schuster? Smith? Smith? Schuster's
Speaker 1: always said, I think that's what we said. I forget
Speaker 1: it out, but I think it might be Matt. Much
Speaker 1: like Charge said, I think we're pretty nervous about Diggs,
Speaker 1: and I think Juju SMI Juju in this matchup. Tom
Speaker 1: your next, Matt Ryan or Alex Smith? Um, Matt Ryan.
Speaker 1: I don't love the Alex Smith matchup in uh AT
Speaker 1: against Denver in Arrowhead, Jeff, you're next, Watson or Winston.
Speaker 1: I think I will lead Winston on that one. I
Speaker 1: love Watson of that matchup in Seattle's tough. Agreed, Chris,
Speaker 1: you're next, Hey, guys, show Carson Wentz, Uell. It's got
Speaker 1: to be Carson Wentz. The matchup is good, he's at home,
Speaker 1: he's been stellar. You can't you can't bench him at
Speaker 1: this point. He's my number one. He's my number one
Speaker 1: ranked quarterback for this week as Carson Wentz. And we're
Speaker 1: not even it's not even chasing the last three weeks
Speaker 1: of awesome box scores. And once it is put up,
Speaker 1: it's the forty niners. Let's see. Yeah, how did you?
Speaker 1: How did I lock a call? Hang on here, I
Speaker 1: don't normally lock my calls. It's weird. Fanball dot com
Speaker 1: slash news. By the way, we'll get you very very
Speaker 1: close to the chart rankings and all of the great
Speaker 1: articles at fan ball. Yeah, there's a ton of great
Speaker 1: free content at fanball, not just my rankings. Jeremy, you're next.
Speaker 1: Thanks for locking me. I got a Dan Lewis or
Speaker 1: Austinian Jenkins in a PPR league, I'm gonna go Dion Lewis.
Speaker 1: I'm I I don't know why. I just don't trust
Speaker 1: Austin Seferian Jenkins. I just don't. I don't. I'm Dean
Speaker 1: Lewis and PPR league. Dan Lewis isn't catching me passes anymore,
Speaker 1: so I would go I'd go Severian Jens That's just
Speaker 1: me right, You're next, Okay, full Point PPR Buller or Curse. Uh.
Speaker 1: We don't like Fuller's matchup at all, so I think
Speaker 1: I'm and I don't like the volume, so I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go curse here. It's feels weird to say it, but
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna go curse. Dave You're next. Yeah, Hi,
Speaker 1: I gotta drop a running back and make room for
Speaker 1: a wider sever for next week? Would you drop Tarik
Speaker 1: Cohen or I did Rollo? I think I dropped Crowl both.
Speaker 1: I mean I dropped them both honestly, but kroll probably
Speaker 1: are those two. Yeah. If you need a tight end
Speaker 1: next week, pick up Tyler Higbee. Jason you're next. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Not only is your phone breaking up, but I think
Speaker 1: I heard the phrase two out of three and we
Speaker 1: don't do that here. Uh. Bill, you're on the fan? Yeah,
Speaker 1: looking for a quarterback? I have River and Carson Wentz
Speaker 1: my number one quarterback of the week, and I like
Speaker 1: I love revers and number five, but you can't top
Speaker 1: Wents his matchup this week. Bryan, you're on the fan.
Speaker 1: They I got knead or big non PPR. Same same
Speaker 1: thing we've said about Dig's I think going to be
Speaker 1: healthy being the same category. I think he's finally going
Speaker 1: to play this week though he's been practicing. He played
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, played twenty two snaps two weeks ago.
Speaker 1: So I'm pretty nervous about the injury and the fact
Speaker 1: that they could get really, really up in this game
Speaker 1: and just put Sneat on the bench too. So I'm
Speaker 1: nervous about Sneet as well. We we highly chance any follower.
Speaker 1: I like Benny followers better than it is a tough
Speaker 1: Chicago defense. D your next hire or Car Breeze or
Speaker 1: car I got Breeze. He's at home, he's against Chicago.
Speaker 1: I'm not thinking about that too much. All right, Peter,
Speaker 1: you're on the fan, Hey, guys, Tyrod Taylor later in
Speaker 1: the quarterback mich Te Tyrod Taylor against arguably the worst
Speaker 1: past defense in the NFL will be the selection, will
Speaker 1: make their case. Keenum for whatever he's you know, he's
Speaker 1: winning games of vikings, but zero or one touchdown passing
Speaker 1: every game but one. Chris, you're next. I got a
Speaker 1: three quarterback? My god, Dak Cracot wrote the Wilkin or
Speaker 1: one quarterback but one we started. I'm starting Dak Prescott's uh,
Speaker 1: he's just the most consistent. He snuck a third guy
Speaker 1: in there. Yeah, that's why I went like that, Bill
Speaker 1: You're next. Yeah, non PPR, crab Tree or Hogan. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go Crabtree, Casey you're next, deeven front or games
Speaker 1: one of PPR. I'd go James White, juicy matchup. We'll
Speaker 1: go for the volume play Aco. Hey there, PPR Hogan
Speaker 1: or Funchs Hogan. Didn't we do a Hogan that one?
Speaker 1: I think it was the first one we book ended
Speaker 1: it with a Hogan Funcius. Our final call of the
Speaker 1: day is Jason, Hello, Hey, I got a non PPR
Speaker 1: black Sam Abdullah or Mohammed definitely a Mirabdulah in my mind,
Speaker 1: like that a lot better. This is the one. This
Speaker 1: is the only matchup I felt pretty good about Ada
Speaker 1: Abdullah in all the year. Yeah, and actually he's running great.
Speaker 1: You know you see him runs actually running the ball
Speaker 1: really really well. The problem is when they want to throw.
Speaker 1: They don't throw to him. They throw it a theoretic
Speaker 1: when they have a touch on opportunity, they don't give
Speaker 1: him the ball inside five. So that's your continual problem.
Speaker 1: The theoretically throw it to a Meerbdulan. I like that.
Speaker 1: I like that. Uh all right, thank you very much
Speaker 1: for listening everybody. If you miss any part of the show,
Speaker 1: check out the podcast cafan Fan on Demand. Also really
Speaker 1: appreciate people to take the time to leave reviews, rankings
Speaker 1: for the show because we had to basically restart that
Speaker 1: whole process this year with our new feed. Coming up next,
Speaker 1: it's the best of, best of, Bye Bye at Center
Speaker 1: Point Energy always says it's better to call eight one
Speaker 1: one now than nine one one later, So before I
Speaker 1: do any digging in my yard, I call eight one
Speaker 1: one to have utility.
