They never both here at 0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:47.040 the same time. Today it is Matt Harrison, No, Brian Johnson, 0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:49.400 Scott Fish with me. Hello, guys, Hey, how's it going? 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:51.000 We do We just need to cut a new generic 0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:53.479 open that just says it's Paul Churchy and and two 0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:55.400 dudes who decided to do the show this week. Come 0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:59.040 not to shot at you. Yeah, I'm sure it is. 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:01.520 I was like four shows you're gonna do this year. 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:06.959 It's on vacation in Nashville above the other ten shows 0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:10.400 before that. I was on vacation and some other locale. 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:14.520 I'm a world traveler. We gotta we gotta get Brian credit. 0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:17.440 He did twelve shows in a row so far this season. Yeah, 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:19.640 that's um He's like, it's pretty good and you only 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:21.520 put some like three hundred short of me. But yeah, 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:23.160 that's pretty good. What are you going to take one off? 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:28.440 I never never, just you're the cal Ripken of Uh, yeah, 0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:30.480 there's something to that. I am. I am the bell 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.959 cow of this show. Yeah. Um, hopefully not like Jay 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:37.080 Gies the bell cow for Miami, because that's uh, that 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:39.280 wouldn't be good. We're gonna try to do a little 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:42.360 better than that. We're optimistic, um coming up on the show, 0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:43.760 all the good stuff that you know and love. We're 0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:47.280 gonna break down every game fantasy style. We'll bring you 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:51.680 five hot questions, take a chance on me, premature speculation, 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:55.080 and lightning round. And because we have six teams on 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:58.360 by for the only time this year, that means we're 0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:00.440 gonna have some We're gonna have some extra time are calls. 0:02:00.480 --> 0:02:03.560 I believe. I think it's going to happen. Then again, 0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:05.680 we do tent When we know we've got extra time, 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:07.800 we tend to go long and pontificate and all that 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:09.960 other stuff that ends up screwing up our clock. Anyway, 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.840 we'll find out lots of pregnant pauses. Yeah, that could be. 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:17.160 Let's dive right into the matchups, beginning with Falcons at Jets. 0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:21.880 Scott Falcons offensive problems are well chronicled. Now they get 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:25.519 the Jets. Does this say get right moment for the Falcons? 0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:29.239 I definitely think so. Now the Jets are bottom ten 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:32.240 versus every position quarterbacks and runing backs, wide receivers ten 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.520 ends their their bottom ten against all of those, So 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.280 I think it's definitely a get right game from Matt Ryan. 0:02:37.560 --> 0:02:40.799 The Jets allowing the most touchdown passes this season and 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.360 multiple touchdowns and four straight games. I have an A 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.160 grade on Ryan. I have an A grade on Julio 0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:49.239 Jones as well. Hit The Jets have allowed five touchdowns 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:52.000 this year to number one wide receivers scored last week. 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:53.960 I think it gets in again like nice two in 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:55.799 a row after getting shut out for the first six 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.480 weeks of the season, no kidding. Finally saw that end 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:02.799 uh snook back last week saw ten targets and he's 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:05.000 going to be in the slot against bust buster screen. 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:08.720 Great matchup. I give him a B grade. Is that 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:13.760 baby Mohammed Sanu or Mohammed Sanu sr? Are we sure? 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:15.760 I don't think. I think it's going to be the senior. 0:03:15.840 --> 0:03:19.440 I don't think it's gonna be the baby. The baby 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:23.320 could have a decent game against Busters. That is actually possible. 0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:26.520 It's the screen door effect. Is we like any any 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:30.440 Mohammed Sanu? We are We are already vamping more than often. 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:35.120 That's right, unusual Austin Hooper. Uh. Over the last three games, 0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:39.360 the Jets have allowed four touchdowns and they're allowing six 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:42.000 catches per game. In that span, Hooper has been hot 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:44.200 and cold. Three games over forty five yards and three 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:46.920 games under ten yards. I'm very Amari Cooper like that. 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:50.440 It's the it's the volume problem for him. Yeah, he's 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:52.480 hot and cold, but you know this is a great matchup, 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:54.400 So I'm giving him a C grade. Maybe he's more 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:57.880 hot than cold this week. Uh, DeVonta Freeman giving him 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:00.560 an A grade. He's got at least seventy hold of yards. 0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:03.320 In five straight weeks. Jets are allowing a hundred fifty 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:06.760 total yards per game. A grade there B grade for Coleman. 0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:10.200 Bad game last week, averaging under four yards per carry. 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:12.440 But the Jets are allowing five and a half receptions 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:15.680 and over fifty yards per game to to running backs 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:19.240 receiving I think I think Coleman can shine there. I 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.080 hope you're right. I mean, you know that it seemed 0:04:21.120 --> 0:04:24.839 like a great matchup for him last week and needed nothing. 0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.680 Another strong matchup pays off this time. Yeah. On the 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:32.680 Jet side, Josh McCown, the Falcons are allowing two thirty 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.400 yards and one and a half touchdowns per game to quarterbacks, 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:39.160 but Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady really inflated those numbers. Otherwise, 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.440 it's actually much worse. The Falcons are doing really well 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:45.000 in that area. McCown does have multiple touchdown passes in 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.000 three straight weeks, but I'm giving him a C grade here. 0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:49.320 I don't like the matchup. I'm giving both of his 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:54.279 receiver se grades as well. It's it's uh, it's yeah. 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:56.359 I guess they could both get secrets. They both scored 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:59.200 last week five five targets per game for Curse, six 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.320 targets per game for Anderson. There's a little volume. There 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:04.279 slight edge to Anderson. He's led the team and targets 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:09.200 three straight weeks. Given Safarian Jenkins a B grade the Jets. 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:12.200 The Falcons are allowing over eight targets and over fifty 0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:14.599 six yards per game to tight ends and Safarian Jenkins 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.119 has been productive. I think he can be productive again 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.760 here against a pretty decent matchup for tight ends. And 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.239 he did score against Atlanta week one of last season 0:05:22.279 --> 0:05:25.000 while he was a member of the Buccaneers. Nice little 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:28.600 added bonus there for Austin Safarian Jenkins. And onto the 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:31.520 running game. Falcons are bottom ten versus the run, allowing 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.800 over a hundred fifty total yards per game to running backs. 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:38.520 But when fourteen Powell both played together this season, they're 0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:42.360 only averaging twenty total touches between them, and they're splitting them. 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.279 Last week, I think they had eleven and thirteen. They're 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:46.920 not getting a lot of volume. I know they both 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:50.400 had eight yards last week. Uh Fourtes had eight yards 0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:52.479 two weeks in a row. And Atlantic is a little 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:56.200 a bit susceptible to pass catching backs. They both catch passes. 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.039 Not a lot of volume though. I'm giving them both 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:00.120 C grades. But I'm a little worried about the us. 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:03.320 I'm with you. I don't know that I can start 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:05.880 you the one. Yeah, it's it's it's a shaky seat 0:06:06.160 --> 0:06:09.120 for me. Between four tem Pow Bears take ONWN the Saints, 0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:12.920 Matt and the Bears offense it's been all running all 0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:15.880 day and no passing whatsoever. Do you think they loosen 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:19.040 up a little bit on Mitch Drabinsky. Well, you're gonna 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:22.520 really like the way that I structured this matchup then, 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.960 because I gave an aid to Jordan Howard's averaging touches 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.479 per game over the last five weeks, and the Saints 0:06:28.520 --> 0:06:31.640 are allowing four point seven yards per carry to opposing 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.680 backs this season. That seems like at least a hundred 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:36.599 yards to me in this game for Jordan Howard and 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:40.120 probably their best chance at a touchdown the entire passing game, 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:42.839 including Tarik cohen Is on the bench, has to be 0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:47.360 Robinsky literally through only seven passes last week and sixteen 0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:50.440 the week before. He's only completed twelve passes in the 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:52.800 last two weeks, and they've won both games and they 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.920 want so there's not a mandate to change it, unfortunately. Yeah, 0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:59.280 And the Saints defense actually not as bad as we 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.520 might think. Um, they've given up three touchdown passes to 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.400 each Tom Brady, Sam Bradford and Matthew Stafford this year, 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:08.000 but in the other three games against Jay Cutler, Cam 0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.120 Newton and Brett Hunley, they did not give up a 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:13.080 passing score at all, so I think Mitch Truebiski is 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.920 more of column B than column A there, so he's 0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:18.760 definitely more huntly than Brady. On the saint side, I 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:22.119 got mark Ingram getting an a averaging twenty eight touches 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.360 per game since Adrian left Town has had back to 0:07:24.400 --> 0:07:26.840 back a hundred yard games and three total touchdowns, and 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.280 the Bears have allowed the ninth most rushing touchdowns in 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:31.360 the league this season. Yeah, and by the way, the 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:34.600 it's uh I calculated twenty nine touches per game, but 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.280 either way, it's too much for mark Ingram and I 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:39.640 think Camara is gonna start siphoning some of those offer 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:42.920 nine is is not what it mark Ingram is all about. Yeah, 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:44.880 and I have Kamara as a C start too. He's 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:47.920 had thirteen and fourteen touches since the a P deal, 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:51.080 so he's a decent flex play. Opposing backs are also 0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:54.200 averaging seven catches per game against the Bears over the 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.600 past three weeks, so I think he's in playing PPR 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:59.480 for sure. Drew Brees I gotta be on. He's had 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.200 five eight games of either three hundred yards passing or 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:06.400 multiple touchdowns. Chicago has only allowed eight touchdown passes this season. 0:08:06.400 --> 0:08:08.600 The defense has been pretty solid, but four of them 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:10.920 were to Aaron Rodgers, so in the other five games 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:14.320 they've given up one or zero. Michael Thomas, I'm still 0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:16.720 giving a B grade two though He's had double digit 0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:18.800 targets and three of his last five and has had 0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.239 at least eighty yards and four of his last five. 0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:23.880 But he hasn't topped the hundred yards this season and 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:28.080 the touchdowns only two touchdowns. Yeah, he'll face off mostly 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:33.400 against Prince Amukamar. Though held Kevin Helvin Benjamin to three 0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:36.800 catches for sixty five yards last week. He's been pretty good. Uh. 0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:39.440 Ted Gin given a C grade to Ted Gin. Gain's 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:42.000 only seen the field for fifty two of the snaps 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:45.280 in the Saints last two weeks, but he had sixty 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:48.079 six yards in a touchdown two weeks ago and seven 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:50.360 catches for a hundred and forty one yards last week. 0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.240 So he's making a lot of hay with the limited 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:54.880 amount of snaps that he's on the field, and he's 0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:56.640 their deep threat. And I am a little bit worried 0:08:56.679 --> 0:09:00.160 that the return of Willie Snead, now healthy, will will 0:09:00.160 --> 0:09:02.240 eat into at least a few of his reps as well. Well. 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:04.880 Let's mention Willie Sneed. Sneed was a finally a full 0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:07.440 participant in practice on Friday. He's been dealing with a 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:11.440 hamstring injury basically since his suspension ended. The slot wide 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:14.160 receiver is the best matchup and Snead kind of goes 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:17.400 into that a little bit there, and Brandon Coleman kind 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:19.880 of does as well. And Coleman actually had a nice 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:22.280 little game last week as well. So I think it's 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:24.599 probably split time between Sneed and Coleman, so I have 0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:28.280 both of them on the bench, and Kobe Fleaner we're 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.640 off the Fleaner mobile where we're far off the Fleaner 0:09:30.679 --> 0:09:34.040 mobile was only playing the snaps since the Saints became 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:37.000 a running team, and and he's he's just not on 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:41.120 the on the field at also not Thatch agreed. Uh. 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:45.160 The early morning game tomorrow is Vikings versus Browns in London, 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:49.040 and I I always like getting the London games. I 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:51.360 didn't get this solve. That's because I like to do 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:55.080 the British that entire time, and like I need some 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.840 I need some British accent out of you. Let's go. Yeah, 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:00.199 I don't think that's gonna happen. Um, you will get 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.439 some new news out of me. This uh, this news 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:06.160 just coming down the down, down the wire. As they say, 0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:09.800 the Browns players had to evacuate it as if is it? 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.280 What else could go round for the Browns? Right? The 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:16.439 Browns players had to evacuate their team hotel at five 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:19.959 in the morning. Here they're trying to castle. By the way, 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:24.120 gas leak in the hotel. Um, here they're trying trying 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:26.719 to just adjust to the time zone change, right, and 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:28.880 you're trying to make up the six hour time zone 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:32.360 change and everything else, and gas leak in the hotel 0:10:32.800 --> 0:10:39.160 has everybody standing outside for an hour at in the morning. Crikey, blindy, 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:43.880 that's just beastly, is it? There? Uh so there's your 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.360 there's your your latest Browns update. Let's talk about that. 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:49.640 Got common UK expressions pulled up on thank you? You 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:51.400 can do some insert those whenever you want. All right, 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:53.120 go for it. I'm gonna start with the running game. 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:55.600 It's tim be tempting to chase Latavius Murray's a big 0:10:55.600 --> 0:10:57.640 game from last week, but I wouldn't do it. The 0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:00.520 one thing the Browns do really well stuff the run 0:11:00.720 --> 0:11:04.120 they are giving up a league best two point nine 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:06.839 yards per carry. I'll also remind people that prior to 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.640 last week, Lottavias Murray was averaging two point three yards 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:12.480 per carry um. They've Browns have only a looted two 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.040 rushing scores, and none of those were in the last month. 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:18.480 No back his top sixty six yards against Cleveland last week. 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:21.880 DeMarco Murray and Derrick Henry two very good runners and 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.120 and frankly, two runners that are probably better than Latavius 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:28.679 Murray and Jerick McKinnon combined for just seventy two yards scoreless. 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:32.640 Seventy two scoreless yards against the Browns, So see grades 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.079 on Lottavias Murray and Jerick McKinnon. Let's go to the 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:39.120 passing offense, where we believe Stefan Diggs will return. It 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:41.920 increasingly looks like he's gonna play. You seem very chuffed 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.440 about that. I don't want him to play in this game. 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:50.560 I am chuffed something. No, I'm not pleased about it 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:53.680 as a Viking fan. I was a fantasy fan, great 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:57.760 as a Viking fan more so. No, because they don't 0:11:57.760 --> 0:11:59.839 need him to win this game against the Browns, and 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:03.800 they've got a buy wee coming if if the groin 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:07.720 is anything less than one, I wish they wouldn't play him, 0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:09.280 But it looks like he's gonna go in this one 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:12.120 full practices this week. He has done the full Monty 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:16.600 of practices this week. Yeah. Uh. The Browns may attack 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:20.400 him with solid corner Jason mccordy, who's sometimes shadows. That 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:23.440 would be a negative for him. Um, if they don't shadow, 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:25.880 then he'll get some positive matchups against Jamar Taylor. But 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:27.480 we don't know for sure which way that's gonna go. 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:30.040 I'm going see great on Stefan Diggs in part because 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:34.760 groin injury injuries get re injured, get aggravated a lot, 0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:36.959 and if it goes blow out, they may decide to 0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:39.200 sit Diggs as well, just to rest the groin. So 0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.320 I would be done backed if that happened. I bet 0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:45.720 you would. Adam feeling over the By the way, see 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:47.839 great on Steph Diggs if I didn't say so. Adam 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:51.720 Clan also a C grade over the last two weeks 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:54.160 without Diggs targeted twelve and thirteen times. I like that. 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:56.319 But Diggs comes back now, so now he's I think 0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:59.199 he's gonna get targeted less and most importantly, he draws 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:02.600 one of the better slot cornerbacks in the NFL, former 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:06.760 golfer Brian Body Calhoun, who ranks seventh overall among all 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:09.840 cornerbacks by Pro Football Focus. Only A C grade for Theeling, 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:14.000 only off your trolley. I am off my trolley the 0:13:14.800 --> 0:13:18.360 h He has given up three touchdowns of slot receivers, 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:20.199 but Theeland hasn't scored a touchdown this year, so I 0:13:20.200 --> 0:13:21.640 don't even know if that's gonna be a factor. C 0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:25.920 grade on Theeling. A grade for Kyle Rudolph. Targets have 0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.080 been way up over the last three weeks without digs. 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:29.840 Maybe that comes back to earth a little bit here, 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:32.760 but the Browns have struggled mightily against tight ends for 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:35.560 a lot of the season. Big games have gone to 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:41.479 Jesse James two touchdowns, Benjamin Watson yards, Tyler Croft too touchdowns, 0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:45.440 Austin Severian Jenkins one should have been two touchdowns, Delaney 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:49.439 Walker sixty three yards and seven receptions last week. So 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.280 cal Rudolph A grade. I've got keen Um on the bench. 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:54.679 He has thrown zero or one touchdowns in five of 0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:57.559 six games, and the Browns have allowed the second most 0:13:57.600 --> 0:14:00.360 passing touchdowns and multiple touchdowns and five of seven games. 0:14:00.400 --> 0:14:02.959 But they just shut down Marcus Mariota last week, so 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:06.720 who's to say that this is gonna be It seems 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:09.560 like a dog's bollocks matchup for case Keenum on the 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:14.239 brown side. There's no startable plays here, including Duke Johnson, 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:16.280 who is usually a solid contributor through the air. But 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:18.640 listening with the Vikings have done to good pass catching 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:23.080 backs this year. Alvin Kamara twenty yards, Levy on Bell 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:25.320 these are these are the receiving yards. That's all we 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:30.280 care about. Duke h Levy on Bell four yards, theoretic 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:36.480 eight yards, Tarik Cohen negative six yards, Tie Montgomery three yards, 0:14:36.800 --> 0:14:40.400 Bunk Allen twenty nine yards. That's it. Who you thought 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:42.560 bunk Ellen would be the best of those? Yeah, that's right. 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:45.040 You don't think Johnson's full of beans and ready to 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:46.880 go get him? I don't link so the beans for 0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:52.120 breakfast in England. That's not cool. Isaiah Crowles on the bench. 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:54.480 He hasn't scored yet. He's averaging three point two yards 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:57.480 per carry, Vikings allowing just three point two yards per carry, 0:14:57.560 --> 0:14:59.280 So that means if he's going to continue to get 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:01.600 three point two y it's per carry on his average 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:04.720 often carries. That's a forty one yard game and he's 0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:07.000 on the bench. Yeah, that's rubbish. And we're gonna put 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:08.880 the whole passing game on the bench as well. You 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.200 don't even need me to really expand on this. This 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:13.680 is uh Kaiser comes back. But it doesn't matter in 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:17.160 fact that it's probably works against this team. So that's it. 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.160 Vikings Browns. Let's take a break when we come back, 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:22.840 take a chance on me. Nine players not normally in 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:26.000 your starting lineup, many of them available on the waiver wire. 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:42.120 Will tell you who they are when we return. Welcome 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:44.880 back to the show, Fantasy Weekly. I'm a fan. Paul Charchi, 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:53.240 Matt Harrison, Scott Fish with you. Yeah, I far better 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:55.000 than last weeks. I can tell you that which one 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:58.840 was last hit Monks the worst. I'd be glad I 0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:01.000 missed it. Yeah, you are glad you've missed Hi, You've 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:03.680 you've suffered through it before you have you've paid your dues. 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:07.120 Nine players not normally in your starting line up. Let's 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:11.640 begin with quarterback positions. Scott Tyrod Taylor. He's far better 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:14.560 at home, throwing nearly seventy five yards per game. More, 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:17.240 five of his seven touchdowns have come in his in 0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:19.960 his three home games. Yea and Oakland's allowing tune in 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.640 seventy five yards per game over their last five, including 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:26.520 three multi touchdown games. They The last time they went 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:29.280 east to West, they played Kirk Cousins, who threw for 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:33.320 three forty two and three. Not to mention Tyrod Taylor's 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:35.880 averaging nearly eight rush attempts at home. He can get 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:37.760 you some points on the ground there too, gets Jordan 0:16:37.800 --> 0:16:40.440 Matthews back as well. Matt who you got? I have 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:42.800 Philip Rivers And I admit that this one's a little 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:45.440 bit of low hanging from Yeah, he's my number five 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:50.080 quarterback this week. He's uh, he's sev owned in ESPN leagues, 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:53.360 so that means he's available in thirty and he faces 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:56.200 the Patriots defense that's allowed the most passing yards and 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:59.080 the most passing touchdowns. There's not really that much more 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:01.720 that needs to be said about Philip Brown. No, I 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:03.880 mind a little choky as well, but not as choky 0:17:03.880 --> 0:17:06.480 as that Andy Dalton. It's where for an offense to 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:08.680 take a page from the Jaguars. But the Bengals should 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:12.320 follow the Jaguars game plan last week against the Colts 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:15.600 basically to the letter. Blake Bortles put a three hundred 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:19.399 thirty yards last week against the Colts, and this is 0:17:19.480 --> 0:17:22.639 a very good opportunity for Dalton going up against the 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:27.359 thirty first rank Indianapolis past defense. Only DeShawn Kiser has 0:17:27.480 --> 0:17:30.840 failed to throw for two hundred nine five yards against Indy. 0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:33.240 Let's go to the running back position, Scott, Yeah, I 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:34.880 have to make a late switch here, but I'm going 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:38.160 with James White. He's averaging nearly seven targets per game, 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:42.040 over five targets per five receptions per game, and forty 0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:44.000 yards per game. He's getting seventy per cent in the 0:17:44.000 --> 0:17:45.880 New England running back targets. I like him a lot 0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:48.160 this week. Okay, I made a late swap as well. 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:52.919 I went with Rex Burkhead. He'stalied only six carries last time, 0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:56.000 but he's averaged over five yards per carry with those touches, 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:58.639 something he also didn't Week one, and last week was 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:00.840 his first game back after an injury, so they were 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:03.080 just working him into the offense little by little. He's 0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:05.800 only on this field for thirteen snaps last week, but 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:07.480 he had a touch and seven of them. That's over 0:18:08.440 --> 0:18:11.080 the touches per snap. I don't know why you would 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:14.280 play any other New England running chart. Who you side 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:18.480 Rex Burkhead. I like that you guys have conspired against 0:18:19.520 --> 0:18:23.160 I've got Dian Lewis. What WHOA? I know that's hard 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:25.760 to believe. Uh, you guys have already hit all the 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:29.359 sale talking points against the Chargers. I will mention this 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:32.760 about Dan Lewis though, averaging five point three yards per carry, 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:35.320 the most on the team, almost two yards per carry 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:38.240 more than Mike gillies Lee, who nobody even mentioned. And 0:18:38.240 --> 0:18:40.479 he's a plausible start here as well. If we had 0:18:40.480 --> 0:18:44.359 a fourth person, we'd be mentioning Mike Gillies l Uh. 0:18:44.720 --> 0:18:48.840 Dan Lewis's rushing attempts have increased in five straight games. 0:18:49.000 --> 0:18:51.160 Go to the wide receiver. We did hatch that plan 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:54.840 in the office last We thought it would be pretty fun, 0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:59.119 pretty good later. I'm sticking with Josh Jackson. If you 0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:01.879 picked him up from mature speculation last week for me, 0:19:02.840 --> 0:19:05.200 I hope you still have him. He plus started and 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:08.680 played the snaps last week, most snaps of the season 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:11.520 for him. He gets a bottom six Dallas defense against 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:14.639 wide receivers. They've allowed the fourth fourth most touchdowns the 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:17.800 wide receivers. I like docs in this week, I went 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:21.760 with Tyrrell Williams of the Los Angeles Clippers nine different 0:19:21.800 --> 0:19:24.480 wide receivers of top seventy five yards against New England 0:19:24.560 --> 0:19:27.280 this season. The Pats have allowed the most receptions in 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:30.000 the second most yards to opposing wide receivers this season. 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:33.200 And he's completely due after becoming somewhat of an afterthought 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:36.280 since Mike Williams has decoyed his way into the lineup 0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:39.080 for like one in two targets per week. It's time 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:44.560 to feed Tyrrell. Uh. But Benny Fowler's role will increase 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:47.880 again this week with Emmanuel Sanders out again. Last week 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:51.040 he set season and career highs with five catches. This week, 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:54.320 he draws one of the worst slot corners in the league, 0:19:54.680 --> 0:19:57.800 Philip Gaines, who ranks dead last at his position by 0:19:57.800 --> 0:20:03.040 Profoball Focus one hundred ninth. Benny Fowler is your final 0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:07.879 take a chance on meat player. Lewis is the best player. 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:14.280 He is the best. UH. Let's move on to our matchups, 0:20:14.359 --> 0:20:17.959 including Panthers taking on the Bucks. We know the bit 0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:20.080 on Cam Newton at this point that it's very clear 0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:24.400 against bottom tier past defenses, he's dynamite. Against anybody else, 0:20:24.440 --> 0:20:27.960 he's awful. This is a bottom to your past defense. Yeah. 0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:29.840 I mentioned last week the same thing with Newton, that 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:32.760 he's become a matchup play and he does bring them up. 0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:36.400 Though the Bucks are terrible. They allow over three yards 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:39.440 and two touchdowns per game to quarterbacks, and in weeks 0:20:39.520 --> 0:20:41.840 four through six, when Newton had all those great matchups, 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:44.359 that's what he was getting. So I expect an a 0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:47.760 A grade out of Newton this week. His top guy, 0:20:47.880 --> 0:20:50.480 Benjamin A grade as well. They're the Bucks are second 0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:53.520 worst against wide receivers. They have allowed ten different wide 0:20:53.560 --> 0:20:57.080 receivers to hit seventy five yards or score touchdown. I 0:20:57.320 --> 0:21:00.480 I like him to do either or both of those things, agreed, 0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:06.080 Vin Foncious. He had successful days against Detroit, New England. 0:21:06.400 --> 0:21:10.080
