He's in the waiting room at 9 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: I Heart Media here. Um, I was under the impression 10 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: he was in London. I think that the London contributor. 11 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: He's not. He's not call in London. Okay, he's the 12 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,199 Speaker 1: waiting room. He's in the waiting room right now. We 13 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 1: keep him there the green we called the green room 14 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 1: in the Business match. True, he's in the green room 15 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: right now. Got it. God is so mad he made 16 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 1: it through customs against all odds. Uh. We can known 17 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 1: drug mule. Colin mccockney. Oh no, Uh. Coming up on 18 00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: this show, we will have the answers to three tough questions. 19 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: Premature speculation is always one of the favorite segments on 20 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: this show nine players upon whom you can take a chance, 21 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: and we will break down every single NFL game from 22 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,919 Speaker 1: this weekend and assigned letter grades to every meaningful player. 23 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,759 Speaker 1: That's what we do here, and we begin with the 24 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: Giants taking on the Cowboys. A four hundred yard passing 25 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: game for Daniel Jones career high. What do you expect 26 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: against and improved Dallas Cowboys defense? Yeah, I gave him 27 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: a B grade. Actually went for four oh two and 28 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: two last week against New Orleans. He's leading the Giants 29 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,639 Speaker 1: and rushing yards and has scored twice on the ground 30 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: this year. The Cowboys defense has allowed each quarterback they 31 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: faced the top three hundred yards, three of them through 32 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: for multiple scores. Plus Sam Donald's rushing line from last 33 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: week six carries thirty five yards, two touchdowns. That's favorable 34 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: for Daniel Jones. Now, he's never top two or twenty 35 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: nine passing yards against Dallas, but he did beat them 36 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: in Week seventeen last year to knock the Cowboys out 37 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: of the playoffs, so he's got a little confidence there. 38 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: His wide receivers, it's uh, it's kind of ugly. Darius 39 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: Slayton and Sterling Shepherd still not practicing there out this week. 40 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 1: Kenny Golladay, he gets a C grade. He had a 41 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: good week last week, but this grade is solely due 42 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: to the Trevon digs hole he's about to enter. Can 43 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: we call it the digs hole? I like I like 44 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: the sound of that, but as as a way to 45 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: and the dates is. The interceptions are great. He's given 46 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,600 Speaker 1: up the fifth most passing yards of any cornerbacks passer 47 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 1: rating of forty two in his coverage. Interceptions are pretty important, 48 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: but he's not intercepting the ball. The teams don't hesitate 49 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: to throw at him, and that you can get something done. 50 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: I'm not ready to the digs hole yet. He's got 51 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: day still startable? Uh? Can Darius Tony? Uh? He can 52 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,240 Speaker 1: be started here. It's kind of a desperation. D grade 53 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: should line up mostly in the slot, and the Cowboys 54 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,959 Speaker 1: have been hit hard from there. Both Chris Godwin and 55 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: Keenan Allen both top a hundred yards this season from 56 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: the slot against the Cowboys. But he's very gadgetty. They 57 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: gave him ten touches last week, but he only had 58 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 1: five total in the first three weeks. I don't think 59 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: he's a surprise anymore to anybody, um, just to get 60 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: us back on the rails. We have four designations for 61 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: our players here, Matt A, B, C, and bench. I 62 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: don't want you to suddenly start thinking you can just 63 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: throw around D's pluses minuses, Tilda's uh, the carrot, the 64 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: shift six. They're nothing, no special characters this. We have 65 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: four officially approved designations. I'm so sorry, church uh. Se 66 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 1: Kwan Barkley gets a open parentheses B, closed parentheses grade. 67 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: Dallas has done a good job keeping running back and 68 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: checked this year. No one has topped fifty seven yards 69 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: on the ground. Austin Ekeler was the only one who 70 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: eclipse a hundred combo yards. Most of that was done 71 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: through the air. However, they've only played Tampa's mess of 72 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: a backfield, Phillies gross backfield, and the Panthers without CMC. 73 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: They're still passing game angle here. So se Kwan's an 74 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: easy B. Dak Prescott gets an A. Every quarterback to 75 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: face the Giants has had a good day. Even if 76 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: you smushed together the Saints quarterbacks. That was the best 77 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: quarterback performance of all last week. Amari Cooper and Ceedee 78 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: Lamb are both getting A grades, although It is concerning 79 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: that the target totals have been so low in the 80 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: last two weeks against two teams that the Cowboys really 81 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: didn't need to pass against, and the Giants could also 82 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: fit that mold this week. However, the matchup is too tantalizing. 83 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: James Bradberry has already given given up three touchdowns in 84 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: his coverage. He moves around the field and should get 85 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,280 Speaker 1: some equal playing time on both Lamb and Cooper. Cedric 86 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: Wilson sort of a dart throw in deeper leagues, especially 87 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: with Jabril Peppers out yes, and and the won't see Bradberry, 88 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: which is a bonus, that's true. And then Dalton Schultz 89 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: he's getting a B grade it appears. It appears that 90 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: he's taken over the top spot on the tight end 91 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: depth chart with seven and eight targets in the last 92 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,240 Speaker 1: two week compared to two and three for Blake Jarwin. 93 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,279 Speaker 1: Schultz actually rated as my number two tight end this week, 94 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: behind Travis Kelsey on the Shock Fantasy Super Dash promo 95 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: code radio for fifteen dollars off. That's because the Giants 96 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 1: have allowed exactly one tight end touchdown in every game 97 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 1: so far, and that's going to go to Schultz. Zeke 98 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: gets an A grade, Pollard gets a. See it appears 99 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: that we've exaggerated the death of Ezekiel Elliott on this show. 100 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: Twenty carries a hundred and forty three yards in a 101 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: score last week against Carolina. Scored three times in the 102 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: prior to games. Really, his only bad game was Tampa. 103 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: He's Zeke's running hard. I've been very impressed with him 104 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 1: the last two weeks. Yeah, and the Giants have already 105 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: given up a hundred yard games to Kamara and Melvin Gordon, 106 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: a hundred yards combo yards to slash backup Cordarrell Patterson, 107 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: So that means Pollard's involved too. He's still recording about 108 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 1: ten touches per game, and that's startable if you need it. 109 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: I like it. Denver takes on the Pittsburgh Steelers. That 110 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: appears Teddy Bridgewater will be under center, which I think 111 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: overall helps this offense. What do you think of the 112 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 1: passing game for Denver, Brian, Yeah, Teddy Teddy will make 113 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: the start past concussion protocol. I like him this week 114 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: and give him a CEE. It's much easier to run 115 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: or to pass on Pittsburgh than it is to run 116 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: The Steelers are allowing nearly two hundred seventy passing yards 117 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 1: and two passing touchdowns per game to opposing quarterbacks. So 118 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: see for Teddy. I gotta be on Courtland Sutton, who 119 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: is averaging more than eight targets per game since Week 120 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: two in a good spot against the Steelers this week 121 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: we're allowing more than five yards and nearly two touchdowns 122 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: per game too wide receivers. Pittsburgh will also be without 123 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: starting quarterback Cameron Sutton, who heard his growing against Green 124 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: Bay last weeks. While I like no Cameron Suting will 125 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: be out of No relations are not related. They're not cousins. 126 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton in with a B cornerback camera and Sutton out. Yes, 127 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 1: he's on the bench and your id leaks. I'm not 128 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: benching Tim Patrick either, I'm giving him a see. Patrick 129 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: has posted double digit PPR points and two of three starts, 130 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: and without Jerry Judy in the lineup, he's virtually playing 131 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: every snap and a good matchup for wide receiver, So 132 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 1: a see for Tim Patrick in just to see for 133 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: Noah fan. This week pretty much a neutral matchup for 134 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: fant Um. The Steelers have given up the twelve few 135 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: cr two tight ends and just one touchdown this year, 136 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: Um Fan, it is worth mentioning Noah Fan performed admirably 137 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: against the Steelers last year with Jeff Driscoll at quarterback. 138 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: Caught four balls for fifty seven yards in his score. 139 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 1: So it's a huge upgrade with Teddy Bridgewater over Jeff Driscoll, 140 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: or for Noah Fan and lastly for Jen For the 141 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: running backs, we'll start with Javonte Williams. Gonna give him 142 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:47,360 Speaker 1: a week. Oh man, God, if you haven't watched him yet, 143 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: He's something special. He's just not getting the opportunities. According 144 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: to Pro Football Focus, uh, he has the highest mis 145 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: tackle rate at thirty seven percent among all running backs. 146 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: Just looks incredible. He's just not getting the touches. It's 147 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: pretty much the most even times share with Melvin Gordon 148 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: right now, who is kind of iffy to play, but 149 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: he will play. He gets a sea. My sea on 150 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: Williams is much more positive than the sea I have 151 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: on Melvin Gordon, like like a delicious drink or something 152 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: like that, like high see something like that. But I 153 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: was just talking about delicious. Tust I just said, I 154 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: feel more positive about the see for for Williams and 155 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: I don't you feel positive about it? Like like it's 156 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: a plus? Are you done now? Pretty much stealer. Not 157 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: a great matchup for either running back though Pittsburgh has 158 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: not allowed running back touchdown yet on the air or ground, 159 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 1: but a sea for both Denver backs over to the 160 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh side, just to see. For nase Harris averaging fourteen 161 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 1: carries an eight and a half targets per game, right 162 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: target game, will skew that a little bit was very involved. Yeah, 163 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: he's a true bell cow Is O line and quarterback 164 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: are failing him big time. Sadly, this is not a 165 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: get right spot spot for Nasey. Denver is allowing just 166 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 1: fifty point five rushing yards per game to running backs 167 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: with one rushing touchdown. The Broncos have also allowed forty 168 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: five receiving yards to running backs. That's not per game 169 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 1: total forty five receiving yards on the year running backs 170 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: For just a C for Naji Harris, I will give 171 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 1: Deonta Johnson a B thirty five targets for Deontay so 172 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 1: far as zero drops. We're all concerned about the drops 173 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: last year with Johnson doesn't seem to be an issue 174 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: Denver allowing roughly fourteen catches and one seventy five yards 175 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: per game to wide receivers. They should get corner Ronald 176 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: Darby back off of I R, but he'll be playing 177 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 1: in a limited role if they do so. I like 178 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 1: Johnson with a B and Chase Claypool can give him 179 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: a C in a Spike game new term. He has 180 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: a growing injury. Should play, But Denver drafted kJ Hamler 181 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: six overall last year. There's a Spike game for everybody 182 00:09:54,880 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 1: not drafted number. Chase clay Pool was drafted as the 183 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: very next wide receiver as the nick in the Spike 184 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 1: game over the jack. Oh that trust me. This is 185 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: a thing. So Chase Claypool a see if he goes, 186 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: and Juju Smith Schuster on the bench. If Claypool plays, 187 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,679 Speaker 1: if Claypool sits, I'll give Juju a CEE. But Juju 188 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: is not looked good, averaging lesson four catches and thirty 189 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 1: five yards per game, hasn't scored through the area, has 190 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: a BS rushing touchdown. But Juju looks bad. And I'll 191 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: just you know, I just we we as a show 192 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: nailed Jujus foibles in the preseason. I just want to 193 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:40,040 Speaker 1: put that in there. And lastly, Ben Roethlisberger joining Juju 194 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: on the bench again. If claypool sits, I'll give juju. 195 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: See if Claypool uh Juju see if Claypool with those bench, 196 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 1: if he plays Ben on the bench, two hundred fifty 197 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: passing yards in one touchdown per game is his average, 198 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 1: and that's pretty much his ceiling as well. He just 199 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: there's better options out there than Ben Roethlisberg, no doubt. 200 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,079 Speaker 1: It's it's you're gonna have. We're only starting Bet in 201 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 1: very specific situations, and this against a very good Broncos 202 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: defense is not one of them. Better options might be 203 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins on their own period bench. It could be 204 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: it could be Detroit takes on Minnesota in a game 205 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: in which there's not a lot to like from the 206 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: Detroit side of it. Detroit likely missing three offensive linemen 207 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: and their best three both tackles and their center Frank 208 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 1: rag Now are not expected to play in this game. 209 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 1: And that's it's it's really muddied the usual formula for 210 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 1: success for Detroit's players, which is garbage time. Garbage times 211 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: coming in this game. But I don't even know if 212 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: they can overcome this in Jared Goff's three good Fantasy games, 213 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:45,240 Speaker 1: and three of US four have been good. The lines 214 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,960 Speaker 1: have faced big deficits that will probably happen here. The 215 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: one dud game was the type back and forth game 216 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 1: with the Ravens. This is not going to be a 217 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,319 Speaker 1: tight game. But I just I'm nervous that Goff is 218 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 1: not going to be able to overcome this offensive line deficit, 219 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: and so I've only got a C grade on him. 220 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 1: I have a The only receiver that I've got a 221 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 1: starting grade on is t J. Hockenson. Minnesota hasn't allowed 222 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: much to tight ends, but they've also faced mostly bad 223 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: tight ends. Hockinson leads his team and targets receiving yards, 224 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:19,319 Speaker 1: and he does have playmaking ability with twenty or more 225 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,199 Speaker 1: yards in three plays of twenty or more yards in 226 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 1: three or four games. But here I worry Hockins is 227 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: gonna have to stay in block because both the tackles 228 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: are gonna be out. So I've only got the C 229 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: grade on Hockinson in this game, which is lower than 230 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: I wanted it to be, in lower than I expected 231 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: it to be. Um Quintess c Fist is on the bench. 232 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,680 Speaker 1: Cliff Raymonds on the bench again, worried about worried about 233 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: this offense having enough time with this bad offensive line, 234 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: if you had to throw a dart at one of them. 235 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: I take Sefist because he loved plays more on the 236 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: right side of the field, which puts him up against 237 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: Bashad Breland, who has allowed twenty of twenty three passes 238 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 1: in his coverage to be completed. Then we go to 239 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: the running backs. DeAndre Swift comes in with the C 240 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 1: grade here. He will have to be very creative to 241 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: get around the offensive line woes that we described. Fortunately, 242 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: the Vikings are without there run stuffing defensive lineman Michael Pierce, 243 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: so that helps even the odds a little bit. And 244 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: it's why I still have a C grade on DeAndre Swift. 245 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 1: Minnesota is allowing the third most rushing yards a hundred 246 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: twenty yards per game and three rushing touchdowns so far 247 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: this year. Um, where Swift helps you a lot is 248 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: through the air, and he's a very good receiver. But 249 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: the Vikings have only given up one receiving touchdown in 250 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: the past twenty six games to a running back, so 251 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: I don't even know that Swift helps you a lot 252 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:43,679 Speaker 1: here either. Jamal Williams getting almost as many carries as Swift, 253 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: but he doesn't get nearly the number of snaps, and 254 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: that worries me a little bit. And if this game 255 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: script is upside down, does Williams get those carries? I 256 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 1: don't think so, so I'm keeping I'm keeping him on 257 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: the bench as well, even though he's running great. If 258 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,600 Speaker 1: you do watch Jamal Williams run dudes in NFL starting 259 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 1: running back, he looks good. Let's go over to the 260 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: Viking side of this, and I want to start with 261 00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook because this is increasingly dicey for cook owners, 262 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: who got burned last week in a big way. This 263 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: one carries with it high risk, high reward. The reward, 264 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: of course is the Lions. The risk is his ankle. 265 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: So the presumption is that Cook is going to play 266 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: in this game after a light week of work with 267 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: the Vikings in practice, but we don't know that for sure. 268 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: And the Vikings don't need Dalvin Cook to beat the Lions. 269 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: They can win with Alexander Madison. They beat Seattle with 270 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: Alexander Madison, they can beat the Lions with him. In fact, 271 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 1: the Vikings haven't won a game with Dalvin Cook in 272 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: the lineup. Not this year. No, so there's there there's 273 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: reason to believe that Cook could have a diminished role. 274 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 1: It's even a horrifying turn. It's possible he's active. You 275 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: start him and the Vikings run Madison through all or 276 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: most of the game and just safe Cook in case 277 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 1: he's needed at some point. Horrifying. That would be an 278 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: awful scenario. Now, obviously it's an elite matchup. If Cook 279 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: starts and plays the whole game, he's the upside is 280 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty rushing yards and two touchdowns, but there's 281 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: significant downside as well. I'm putting a B on Dalvin Cook, 282 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: and you need to decide for yourself whether or not 283 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: you want to absorb the risk you should reserve an 284 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 1: E n C H two. Just attack onto that B 285 00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: bench and and and got it. Okay, it is It 286 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: is dicey, it's super dice. But what about Madison Church? 287 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: What about Madison? Well, you can't know. I don't have 288 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: a starting grade on Madison because you can't know what's 289 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 1: going to happen with Cook, and it's would be a 290 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: dart throw. But I could I could be persuaded to 291 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: give him a seed just because There's so many scenarios 292 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 1: where he gets carries, even if even if Dalvin Cook 293 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: starts the game, the Vicers get way out ahead garbage Town, 294 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: and then just garbage time Madison at the end. So 295 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 1: I could be convinced in fact, for you, Matt, I'll 296 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: give him a well thank you. Kirk Cousins, Justin Jefferson 297 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 1: and Adam Feeling are obvious a's and I'm not going 298 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: to even belabor much here. Um, I'll mention this. Over 299 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: the past five meetings, Kirk Cousins is averaging two yards 300 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: and almost three touchdowns with no interceptions against the Lions. 301 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: So you want part of all of his receiving options, 302 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: even k J Osborne, who gets a C grade. He's 303 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:37,520 Speaker 1: the slot receiver from Minnesota. He draws A J. Parker 304 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: in the slot. Parker is Pro Football focuses one hundred 305 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: ranked cornerback. He's already given up two touchdowns in his coverage. 306 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: And Tyler Conklin, also with a C grade tight end. 307 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: Three of four Lions opponents have put up big tight 308 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: end games. Conklin shouldn't have to stay in and block 309 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: as much as he did last week. He scored the 310 00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: week before that. I think you can start him as well, 311 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,959 Speaker 1: Tyler Conklin. As an option for you. Also as an 312 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: option for you, you you can join a guillotine league. You 313 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 1: know how it works, no head to head matchups. Each week, 314 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 1: the low scoring team gets cut and all the players 315 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: go to the waiver wire, where it's total pandemonium for 316 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: the rest of us as we bid on all of 317 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: these crazy free agents.

We'll find out who they are 328 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 1: in a moment. Matt, Let's begin with you. Who is 329 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 1: your Take a chance on the quarterback. I've got Trevor Lawrence, 330 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 1: and you know the Jaguars have seen a few distractions 331 00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:36,280 Speaker 1: this week, but they're definitely back to the grind. Lawrence 332 00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 1: backed his behind into the end zone on a rushing 333 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: play last week and also completed his passes in the 334 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 1: process against Since I'd imagine the Jags players rally around 335 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,679 Speaker 1: Lawrence as a leader as he flew back on the 336 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: team playing with them. The Titans have given up at 337 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: least two five yards and multiple scores to every quarterback 338 00:18:54,119 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: that they've faced that had two ankles, not Carson Wentz, 339 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 1: but that includes two seven and two to Zach Wilson 340 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: just last week. All right, you'll take a chance of me, 341 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: quarterback Brian. I don't have any innuendos for this one, 342 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 1: but I got Jacoby either. I don't know what you're 343 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: talking a Jacoby Brissette of the Dolphins at Tampa Bay. 344 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 1: The Bucks can score, and that's partially why they hold 345 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: the highest opponent passing play percentage in the NFL. It's 346 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: north of se Another reason is it's impossible to run. 347 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,959 Speaker 1: You can't run on the Tampa but they're seeing forty 348 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 1: seven passes per game seven and the heavens again, the 349 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay is gonna be without three starting cornerbacks now 350 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,640 Speaker 1: starting a strong safety Antoine Winfield has been ruled out. 351 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: I like the the matchups for the wide receivers from Miami. 352 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,679 Speaker 1: Will get into that a little more later. I like 353 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 1: the matchup for Mike Gaziki. So Jacoby Brissette's gonna air 354 00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: it out great. Take a chance on me player this 355 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: week at quarterback. Given forty seven chances anyway, Jacoby Brissette 356 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 1: can comp at least one pass, I would hope. So 357 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 1: my quarterback is Zack Wilson, who looked legitimately great last week, 358 00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: fantastic game. I think he keeps the momentum going against 359 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:15,400 Speaker 1: a very shaky Falcons defense that has yielded monster passing 360 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: games to three of four opposing quarterbacks, including last week 361 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,159 Speaker 1: to the modest abilities of Taylor Heineke, who he mentioned 362 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 1: in this very segment last week, Jamison Crowder positive matchup, 363 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: Corey Davis positive, very positive matchup against Fabian Moreau. Zack 364 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: Wilson's gonna have plenty of options when he looks around 365 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 1: the field. Falcons are easier to pass upon than run upon. 366 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: I believe that Zack Wilson is going to be a 367 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: good start, and we'll see a little later if Colin 368 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: mccockney or London correspondent will end up agreeing with you. Might. 369 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: Let's go to the running back position. Who is your 370 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: take a chance of me player? Matt I'm gonna go 371 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,880 Speaker 1: with Zach Wilson's teammate Michael Carter. He's really taken over 372 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: as the lead back in New York thirteen carries and 373 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 1: three targets last week. He's been in the twelve to 374 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,719 Speaker 1: fifteen range in total worklow since Week two. Uh. This 375 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: week he gets a Falcons team that makes everyone look good. 376 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 1: Miles Sanders, Kenny Gainwell, Leonard Fournette, se Kwon Barkley, Antonio 377 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: Gibson and j D. Mckissic have all topped seventy total 378 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: yards or scored against the Falcons this year. That's six 379 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: running backs in four weeks. By the way, Yeah, Michael Carter, 380 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 1: He's gonna get a solid grade in this one. Let's 381 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,679 Speaker 1: go to your take a chance of me Brian. Tampa 382 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: Bay is Ronald Jones at the Dolphin or at home 383 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: against the Dolphins. Sorry, Tom Brady has been asked to 384 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 1: do way too much lately, and this feels like a 385 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: game or Tampa Bay can really lean on the run 386 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 1: Miami has allowed these second most rushing yards and the 387 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 1: most rushing touchdowns to running backs. The Dolphins are also 388 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: top ten in the most receptions, receiving yards, and receiving 389 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 1: touchdowns allowed to backs. Now, I know it looks like 390 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 1: it's Leonard Fournette as the lead back. He is the Yeah, 391 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 1: well we've seen this before. It always goes the complete opposite. 392 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 1: So if you want to win a million dollars playing 393 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: daily sports, you're gonna have Ronald Jones running back for 394 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: ust me. I know I'm gonna have him on in 395 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 1: a few lines. Something does win the million? Is Is 396 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,160 Speaker 1: this a tipping situation for you? It probably is most 397 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: definitely a tipping situation. D m me for my MENMO 398 00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: might take a chance to me. Running back is Damien 399 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,400 Speaker 1: Williams as he goes up against Las Vegas. He's you're 400 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: starting running back with David Montgomery out in Chicago. Um, 401 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 1: and like last week, once David mcgomery got knocked out, 402 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 1: it was all Williams. And it's gonna be here too. 403 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: I don't believe we're gonna see a lot of Khalil 404 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: Herbert here. Uh. And that's Khalil groundbear ground, That's right. 405 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 1: Khalil Groundbear, Bill Laser calling the plays. I mean, the 406 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: whole Bears offensive a ton better last week. We saw 407 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: Williams put up seventy yards last week and that was 408 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 1: just in relief, So I think it's the starter. He's 409 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 1: sitting in a nice game. The Las Vegas run defense 410 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:48,479 Speaker 1: right in the middle of the pack in most metrics, 411 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 1: but they have a love of the second most touchdowns 412 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: to running backs, six of them already. In addition, they 413 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: just let the Chargers running backs catch seven passes and 414 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 1: a touchdown through the air, and Willie Ms is a 415 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: good pass catching back, So there you go. Damien Williams 416 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,919 Speaker 1: might take a chance of me running Matt let's go 417 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: to Let's go to you. Who is your take chance 418 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 1: for me? Receiver? I've got Alan Lazard of the Packers. 419 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 1: With Marquees Valdez scantling out. Last week, Lazard was on 420 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: the field for sev of the snaps compared to Randall 421 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,199 Speaker 1: Cobb at only forty six. Now, Lazard only at three 422 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: targets last week and Cobbs scored. So a lot of 423 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: people are probably thinking the other way around here, but 424 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: I'd rather have the guy who's on the field Lazard 425 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: will mostly match up against Eli Apple, who has Pro 426 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: Football Focus is one and second ranked corner. If it's 427 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 1: not Apple, it's just off the injury report. Trey Waynes, 428 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: who's allowing thirty one yards per catch so far this year. 429 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 1: Well in one game, but still yeah, and two catches. 430 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: But way to massage the stats, right, That's what we do. 431 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,960 Speaker 1: That's what we do here, right, Brian, You'll take a 432 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 1: chance for me. Receiver Um probably the first person in 433 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 1: history that refuses to leave Tampa Bay. So I'm staying 434 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 1: with this game and going with Miami's Jalen Waddle UH 435 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: wide receiver. Um mentioned Tampa Bay is running out the 436 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,320 Speaker 1: JV squad in their entire secondary practically, and even when 437 00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: they had their stars in their Tampa has allowed the 438 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: most catches and yards to wide receivers. They've yielded the 439 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: third most red zone targets to the position. There's no 440 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: surprise they've surrendered the most touchdowns too. Wide receivers in 441 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle is legit among players with at least thirty targets, 442 00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,960 Speaker 1: and there aren't that many. There's like twenty of them. 443 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: He has the highest catch percentage among all those players. 444 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: So he can't play. And again, I like presetting this 445 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,680 Speaker 1: game and Waddle, we'll talk about this game more might 446 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 1: be the number one option now at wide receiver, he 447 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: may be Uh, potentially no Tavante Parker, who shaping up 448 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 1: as a game time decision, might take a chance of 449 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 1: the receiver Markz Callaway from the New Orleans Saints. He's 450 00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: the only Saints receiver who's getting more than a forty 451 00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 1: eight percent snapshare. He's at so he's on the field 452 00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,480 Speaker 1: a lot, and he gets to exploit a Washington secondary 453 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,640 Speaker 1: that I thought going into the season was gonna be better. 454 00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 1: It's trash. They're getting to royd by wideouts, giving up 455 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: two hundred thirty three yards per game that is third most, 456 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: and Washington's seven touchdowns allowed to wide receivers is fourth most. 457 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 1: Callaway runs from all over the field and Washington has 458 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: no stoppers at any of the cornerback positions, so where 459 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: every line's up, he's got a plus matchup. Marquez Callaway 460 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 1: might take a chance on me. Wide receiver Bryan green 461 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 1: Bay is taking on the Cincinnati Bengals. I'm sorry, Matt 462 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,840 Speaker 1: is taking on the Cincinnati Bengals. Uh, we already know 463 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: you like Alan Lazard in this game, I have reasonab 464 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: believe you probably like Aaron Rodgers as well. Yeah. I 465 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: got Rogers and Adams both with A grades. The Bengals 466 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,479 Speaker 1: past defense has looked better on paper, only allowing two 467 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 1: or forty seven yards per game, but when you consider 468 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: they've seen Kirk Cousins, the Dalton Fields, Combo, Big Ben, 469 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: and Trevor Lawrence, it's easy to see why this could 470 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: be fake news. Also got Robert Tuny in with a C. 471 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: Has had a red zone target in each of his 472 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: first four games. That's good enough for me. The Bengals 473 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 1: have not played a tight end as good as Tony 474 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 1: in yet either man. Do Tonon owners need a big game? Yeah? 475 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,920 Speaker 1: I invested heavily this year. Aaron Jones I have a 476 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 1: B grade. On has been on the field for six 477 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 1: or more the snaps in the Packers three wins. While 478 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: A J. Dillon did see his usage uptick last week, 479 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: I'm not concerned. Jones has twenty one red zone targets 480 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:30,959 Speaker 1: plus rushing attempts this year one Dylan has two. You 481 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: know that we were we we we like Aaron Jones 482 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 1: a lot in the preseason, but we you know, we 483 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 1: put a last trick by there, like maybe Dylan ends 484 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,640 Speaker 1: up getting a lot of goal line works. He's built 485 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 1: for it, but it never worked out that. The Bengals 486 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: have allowed one d and eleven combo yards to opposing backs, 487 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 1: much of that coming through the air, which is Jones's 488 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: biggest strength over Dylan on the since side. I'm gonna 489 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: just start with all of their receivers now. The biggest 490 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,639 Speaker 1: thing here is that all Pro cornerback JayR Alexander is 491 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: out and maybe gone for a long time with a 492 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:07,199 Speaker 1: shoulder injury. This upgrades basically all the wide receivers. Te Higgins, 493 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: who missed last week with a shoulder injury, is going 494 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:15,199 Speaker 1: to play Sunday. Fourth year retread Isaac Yaya dum is 495 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,879 Speaker 1: set to take Jayre's place on the field, as the 496 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 1: Packers are bypassing Kevin King altogether, which is probably a 497 00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,439 Speaker 1: good move. Higgins figures to line up more on yaya 498 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,399 Speaker 1: dam side of the field than fellow wide receiver Jamaar Chase. 499 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 1: Chase will line up more often than not on Eric Stokes, 500 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,479 Speaker 1: who's actually done all right in his coverage this year, 501 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: is the Packers most targeted cornerback. He's only allowing a 502 00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: pass a rating of sixty point three. Still, I'm giving 503 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 1: both Higgins and Chase A grades in this one. Higgins 504 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: absence last week meant a ton of work for Tyler 505 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,840 Speaker 1: Boyd and c j Uzoma. Boyd saw the biggest night 506 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: of his year in every category, but did not reach 507 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 1: the end zone against the Jags, and Oozy scored twice. 508 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,680 Speaker 1: Boyd will line up against slot corner Chandon Sullivan, who 509 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 1: is the lowest rated of the Packers starting corners A 510 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,880 Speaker 1: lot when you're lower than Kevin King. Yeah, I don't 511 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 1: think I even counted Kevin King and actually having a disaster. 512 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 1: I'll give boy to be here. I'm a little nervous 513 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 1: that some of the targets that were vacated last week 514 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 1: are now back to T Higgins and who's almost on 515 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,040 Speaker 1: the bench, he still hasn't seen a target inside the ten, 516 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 1: so he's gonna have to break one from distance to score. 517 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow he gets an A since I love all 518 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,399 Speaker 1: of his receivers averaging two, seven and two, and I 519 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 1: think that's Burrows floor in the game. Every quarterback not 520 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,120 Speaker 1: named Big Ben has had a big day against the Packers. 521 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,639 Speaker 1: And then there's Joe Mixon, who's been a d n 522 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 1: P at practice all week, and he looks like he's 523 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: not going to play in this one. Zach Taylor still 524 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,680 Speaker 1: calling him day to day, but it's looking less likely 525 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 1: he goes with every missed practice. Soma J. P Ryan 526 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:49,400 Speaker 1: will get the start, with Chris Evans probably getting a bump. 527 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 1: In the passing game. P Ryan has only carried the 528 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,280 Speaker 1: ball eight times this year and is averaging three point 529 00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,040 Speaker 1: one yards per carry, although he did have one really 530 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 1: good game last year in relief of Mixing, where he 531 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: scored twice, but that was against the Texans and these 532 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 1: are not the Texans. The Packers defense ranks eight in 533 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 1: the league in comvo yards allowed right now to the position. 534 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: So I think Parene Parigne's on the bench, and if 535 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 1: mix And can go, he's just a barely a se grade. 536 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: I don't think Mixing is gonna play, and if he 537 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 1: doesn't play, I think Parrine's startable. But I don't I 538 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: don't share all of your pessimism for Paride. Uh, They've 539 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: they've got some other opportunities. If Paride doesn't go as well, 540 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,600 Speaker 1: some other running backs might factor in. But I don't 541 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: think we're gonna sis in. God, that'd be so much cooler. God, 542 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 1: football would be awesome if you everybody had a shield 543 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: and could throw it and could throw it right. Yeah, 544 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 1: I did each other. That'd be fantastic. When we come back, 545 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,600 Speaker 1: we'll talk through the remainder if there's not much left 546 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: to talk through with the Miami side of Miami against 547 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,000 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. But you'll find out what to expect from 548 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay side, specifically from Tom Brady and his 549 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: wide receivers when we returned to Fantasy Football Weekly, final 550 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 1: segment of our number one of Fantasy Football Weekly. We 551 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 1: are a two hour show. You want to stay tuned 552 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,719 Speaker 1: for the second hour. Of course, Brian, you've already ruined, 553 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: like every part of Miami taking on Tampa Bay, with 554 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 1: the exception of a couple of players. Is there anybody 555 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,560 Speaker 1: left on the Miami side with a starting grade that 556 00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,920 Speaker 1: you have not already mentioned? Uh? One, But they aren't 557 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 1: the running backs, Miles Gaskin, Malcolm Brown on the back 558 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 1: a disaster that's turned into a disaster. And it doesn't matter. 559 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 1: You just don't play running backs against Tampa Bay, especially 560 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 1: not Miles Gaskin, especially not Miles Gaskin or Malcolm Brown. 561 00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: Yet Gaskin basically disappeared last week, but the broth on 562 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 1: the bench. If Gaskin was dropped nearly, he's the guy 563 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 1: worth grabbing and stashing. As of now, he will certainly 564 00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 1: be dropped after this week, if he hasn't been dropped already. 565 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:14,560 Speaker 1: But in like an amazing matchup, maybe he would take 566 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,360 Speaker 1: a chance on me kind of play. Still the best 567 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 1: running back on that team. I'm thin he's not saying much, 568 00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: but he he is. But anyway, running backs on the 569 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,479 Speaker 1: bench for the Dolphins, and this one now, Davante Parker. 570 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 1: I was about to give him a very strong B grade, 571 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: but now he's looking like a game time decision with 572 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 1: the hamstring injury. That the song remains the same with 573 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: Parker sadly, but you know I Jalen waddles. When I 574 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: take a chance on me wide receiver, he gets bumped up. 575 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: If part well, he actually doesn't get bumped up. Parker misses, 576 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 1: he gets downgraded a little bit. But the guys to 577 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 1: keep an eye on against this ravage secondary for Tampa Bay, 578 00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: who's just giving up a ton to wide receivers or 579 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 1: Preston Williams who's been inactive in favor of Albert Wilson. 580 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: But that's because Albert Wilson plays special teams. He's more 581 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,600 Speaker 1: of the slot guy. Preston Williams feels like more of 582 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,360 Speaker 1: the guy to fill in for injured Vante Parker, so 583 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:02,880 Speaker 1: he'd be the dart throw and a guy you might 584 00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 1: wanted to stash and in deeper leagues of wide receiver. 585 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: But assuming Parker goes, I didn't give him a SEA 586 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 1: just because he might not finish the game. I wanted 587 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 1: to give him a B, but again, game time decisions, 588 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 1: So keep an eye on Parker. The last starting grade 589 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: outside of Jacoby precent who might take a chance I 590 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 1: mean quarterback, is Mike Kasicki. He gets a B. The 591 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,760 Speaker 1: Bucks have allowed these second most tight end receptions and 592 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: touchdowns and have also yielded the yielded the most tight 593 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: end targets and golden goat scenarios. Because Kaseki has seen 594 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 1: the second most targets among tight ends over the past 595 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 1: two weeks and his totally impressive fifteen catches for one 596 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:35,640 Speaker 1: three yards and a touchdown during that span, So I 597 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 1: Laksicki this week against the Bucks over the Buck side 598 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 1: starting with Tom Brady. Just to be for Brady, nine 599 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,400 Speaker 1: passing touchdowns in the first two weeks, just one passing 600 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 1: touchdown over the last two weeks. Now, over his last 601 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: eight games against the Dolphins, of course, this has been 602 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 1: with the Patriots, He's only averaged two passing yards and 603 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: two passing touchdowns, which is kind of what the Dolphins 604 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: are allowing to opposing quarterbacks per game. So a limited 605 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 1: sealing for Brady in this one. Again, I think they 606 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 1: lean on the running game a little more in this 607 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 1: So just to be for Brady against the Dolphins this 608 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,800 Speaker 1: week and just to be for Mike. Evans will likely 609 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:13,640 Speaker 1: be shadowed by Miami's top corner Xavian Howard, but Howard's 610 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 1: been a little leaky over the last three weeks, allowing 611 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 1: nearly sixty yards per game in his coverage and touchdowns guy, 612 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 1: so a safe b for Evans. There is still a 613 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,280 Speaker 1: upside for Evans, uh, the same ghost for Chris Godwin. 614 00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 1: Just didn't give him a be though. I don't think 615 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: Tampa throws a ton in this game. He hasn't seen 616 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,960 Speaker 1: a ton of targets, but draws a big mismatch against 617 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:35,920 Speaker 1: slot corner Justin Coleman, who is allowing a completion rate 618 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: in his coverage, and uh Antonio Brown, he gets a 619 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 1: ce uh to close out the wide receivers for Tampa Bay. Again, 620 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 1: I think Xavian Howard spends more time on Evans and 621 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 1: Miami has allowed a wide receiver touchdown in three or 622 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,120 Speaker 1: four games. So you can start Antonio Brown with the 623 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 1: c and you can start Cameron Braid as well. Can 624 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,720 Speaker 1: give him to see Rob Gronkowski will miss this game 625 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: with the rib rib injuries. Miami is allowing more than 626 00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,520 Speaker 1: five catches and fifty five yards per game to tight 627 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: ends and wooting three total touchdowns on the season. And lastly, 628 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:04,920 Speaker 1: for the Bucks at running back, I'll put a be 629 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,120 Speaker 1: on Leonard four net already said Ronald Jones might take 630 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,360 Speaker 1: a chance of me running back. He's playing second fiddle 631 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,840 Speaker 1: the Leonard four net. That's never been clear though it 632 00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:17,320 Speaker 1: comes to Tampa Bay running backs. But it's an amazing matchup. 633 00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,320 Speaker 1: The Dolphins have basically given up the most of everything 634 00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 1: to running back so far, everything this year. And uh 635 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 1: Geo Bernard might play, but I'm leaning towards no. But 636 00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:27,920 Speaker 1: even if he does not much of a factor, he's 637 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,280 Speaker 1: on the bench, but b F four net and Jones 638 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,879 Speaker 1: was might take com running back New Orleans ticket takes 639 00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:37,760 Speaker 1: on Washington, and we'll start with Alvin Camaro, who earns 640 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 1: an A grade but barely. He's getting just He's just 641 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,839 Speaker 1: averaging three point eight yards per carry, which is low 642 00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:48,839 Speaker 1: and troublingly, the high value touches are a concern. He's 643 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,760 Speaker 1: turned four carries from inside the ten into two yards 644 00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,000 Speaker 1: and no touchdowns. That's gross, that's not good. And then 645 00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 1: there's Taysom Hill and Jamis Winston who have rushed in 646 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,839 Speaker 1: six times from inside the ten forty two yards and 647 00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:07,520 Speaker 1: four scores. That's bad news for Kimera is it? Here's 648 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:10,720 Speaker 1: tough question number minus one? Is it time to trade 649 00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,319 Speaker 1: Alvin Kmara? It might be there's a there's this is 650 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,279 Speaker 1: a if this is going to continue? The answer is yes, 651 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,759 Speaker 1: because he's still regarded as a top five running back. 652 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 1: But if he's not going to get these easy touchdowns 653 00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,560 Speaker 1: and he's still getting the workload right now the world, 654 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 1: that's right, um and Washington has given up the most 655 00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:32,760 Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns to running backs five Tony Jones is injured, 656 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 1: so the workload is going to be there. Um I 657 00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,359 Speaker 1: just I still I still like him, and I still 658 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,359 Speaker 1: think he's still gets an A grade here, But I 659 00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,560 Speaker 1: did I played with putting him at B. Let's go 660 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 1: to Jamis Winston, who gets a C grade. Ultra a 661 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:49,680 Speaker 1: low volume for Jamis Winston like leather helmet era volume. 662 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:54,040 Speaker 1: He has been between twenty and twenty three passes in 663 00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 1: every game this year. That's it. They're minimizing the mistakes 664 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:02,680 Speaker 1: there and everything else can come with Jamis Winston. Patrick Mahomes, 665 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 1: even Patrick Mahomes could not fill out a box score 666 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,240 Speaker 1: on twenty to twenty three passes. But the Washington secondary 667 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,239 Speaker 1: is so bad right now, Winston probably finds his way 668 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 1: to a decent game. Washington's allowed eight passing touchdowns in 669 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:17,480 Speaker 1: the last two weeks, and on the season, the average 670 00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,040 Speaker 1: game against Washington is three hundred seven yards and two 671 00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,640 Speaker 1: and a half passing touchdowns. You figure Winston cobbles his 672 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:27,360 Speaker 1: way to like to and one or two passing touchdowns 673 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,239 Speaker 1: and that gets him a C grade. Marquez Callaway was 674 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 1: might take a chance of the wide receiver Deonta Harris 675 00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 1: factors in is a plausible dart throw as well. He 676 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 1: gets a much smaller snap count than Marquez Callaway, but 677 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,680 Speaker 1: Deanta Harris actually has more targets, more receptions, and more 678 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,680 Speaker 1: receiving yards than Callaway, so he has a He's a 679 00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,879 Speaker 1: dart throw here with the C grade as well. Let's 680 00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:54,160 Speaker 1: go over to the Washington side. Washington's best offensive lineman, 681 00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:58,360 Speaker 1: Brandon Sheriff out for this game. That is a sizeable 682 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:03,880 Speaker 1: loss and will factor that into our bench grade. On 683 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,719 Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson, I'm with you on this. On Friday, he 684 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:11,400 Speaker 1: disclosed that he's got a stress fracture in his shin 685 00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:15,480 Speaker 1: as a you know, and that's not good for a 686 00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:18,760 Speaker 1: running back. It's not good for anyone or or anybody else. 687 00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:22,440 Speaker 1: Nor is the matchup. By the way, um he remember 688 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 1: he gets virtually no receiving work. J. D. Mckissic is 689 00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:29,560 Speaker 1: getting almost all of that, and so that means Gibson 690 00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:34,520 Speaker 1: is really just a two down bruiser against arguably the 691 00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,719 Speaker 1: best run defense in the NFL with a bad shin, 692 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 1: with a bad schin New Orleans is Pro Football focuses 693 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,480 Speaker 1: top ranked run defense. They're giving a fifty one rushing 694 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:48,160 Speaker 1: yards per game two running backs Aaron Jones. And if 695 00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:52,080 Speaker 1: you think Antonio Gibson's too good to fail. Aaron Jones, 696 00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 1: Damien Harris, on s Kwon Barkley, good running backs have 697 00:37:56,719 --> 00:38:00,760 Speaker 1: combined to average twenty five rushing yards ends the Saints 698 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson on the bench. J D mckissic, on the 699 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,520 Speaker 1: other hand, can get it done through the air. The 700 00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 1: Saints giving up receiving stat lines, has given up receiving 701 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,279 Speaker 1: stat lines of five catches seventy four yards and a 702 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 1: touchdown to say Juan Barkley, five catches sixty five yards 703 00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,680 Speaker 1: to Christian McCaffrey. So I think I think j D 704 00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,720 Speaker 1: mckissic is gonna get you in that five and fifty range. 705 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 1: Maybe ends up finding his way to the end zone, 706 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:32,319 Speaker 1: and with Antonio Gibson hobbled, mckissic likely get gets a 707 00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 1: few little extra running work here as well. So a 708 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:40,200 Speaker 1: B grade on j D. Mckissic. Let's go to the 709 00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:44,240 Speaker 1: passing game. Taylor Heineke gets a C grade. He's he's plucky, 710 00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 1: and he goes up against a bizarrely inconsistent Saints secondary. 711 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:52,239 Speaker 1: The Saints handled Aaron Rodgers and Mac Jones and gave 712 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,919 Speaker 1: up big games to Sam Donald and allowed Daniel Jones 713 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,879 Speaker 1: there for four hundred yards. Last week, so a little 714 00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:59,919 Speaker 1: bit hard to know which version you're gonna get. Four 715 00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,360 Speaker 1: Sinel Heineke's kind of matchup proof. He scored multiple touchdowns 716 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,840 Speaker 1: and all three of US starts, and his scrambling ability 717 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,279 Speaker 1: gives Heineke a little bit extra cushion in there. So 718 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,800 Speaker 1: a C grade for Heineke. His best and top receiver, 719 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:16,040 Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin, is an obvious, a totally match up. I'm 720 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,040 Speaker 1: not worried about his matchup anyway. Saints are allowing the 721 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,960 Speaker 1: six multi yards to receivers. He's an A grade. Curtis 722 00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,400 Speaker 1: Samuel comes in with a C grade. I think he 723 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,279 Speaker 1: gets an uptick in usage after running just twenty five 724 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,880 Speaker 1: plays last week. Coming off I r somebody's got to 725 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,920 Speaker 1: run the Logan Thomas middle of the field routes. I 726 00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:36,520 Speaker 1: think that's going to be Curtis Samuel in that game. 727 00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 1: He ranent of his snaps from the slot last week, 728 00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 1: and that will put him up against Chauncey Gardner Johnson, 729 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 1: a middle of the pack corner who can be beaten. 730 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,440 Speaker 1: So we'll give a C grade to Curtis Samuel in 731 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:56,440 Speaker 1: this game. Our final matchup Tennessee taking on the Jacksonville Jaguars. 732 00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,439 Speaker 1: We know Julio Jones has been ruled out of this game. 733 00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,680 Speaker 1: A J. Brown's gonna play in this game game, but 734 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 1: I still have to believe we're gonna get a heavy 735 00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:08,640 Speaker 1: dose of a potential fantasy ard vark you know it. 736 00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:13,040 Speaker 1: And Derrick Henry here he is. We mess each other up. 737 00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:14,920 Speaker 1: There we go, there we go. There's our fantasy r 738 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:18,440 Speaker 1: that's him, Derrick Henry. He's the art vark for sure. 739 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,680 Speaker 1: Uh that that's two a's in art Vark. By the way, 740 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:25,440 Speaker 1: it's a double A grade. H A J. Brown. We 741 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,960 Speaker 1: talked about that. He's a full participant in practice. He's 742 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,680 Speaker 1: going to return. Julio Jones will not play. Brown floats 743 00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,040 Speaker 1: around a bit between the outside and the slot. If 744 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:35,920 Speaker 1: he's on the outside, he will likely line up with 745 00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,440 Speaker 1: Jags top corner Shack Griffin, currently rated as pro football 746 00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,480 Speaker 1: focuses number sixty two cornerback. If he rolls to the slot, 747 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 1: he gets Trey Herndon, who's coming in and basically last 748 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,000 Speaker 1: place and ProFootball focus. So Brown is an A grade. 749 00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:52,080 Speaker 1: Chester Rogers is even worth a dart throw, as he 750 00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:54,239 Speaker 1: does almost all his work from the slot. When he's 751 00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,160 Speaker 1: on the field, so he gets Tray Herndon the most, 752 00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,839 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill. He gets an A grade. Three straight quarterbacks 753 00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,439 Speaker 1: to face the Jaguars have topped the three yard mark, 754 00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,400 Speaker 1: and three of the four quarterbacks they've faced have thrown 755 00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:08,600 Speaker 1: for multiple scores. Trevor Lawrence was might take a chance 756 00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:13,400 Speaker 1: on me quarterback. His receiver's Laviska Chanlt. He gets a 757 00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:16,160 Speaker 1: B grade. He lines up in the slot eight three 758 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,680 Speaker 1: percent of the time. That's where he'll face Chris Jackson 759 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,480 Speaker 1: mostly who's given up a passer rating of one oh 760 00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 1: four on the season so far. Christian Kirk, Freddie Swain, 761 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,680 Speaker 1: and Jamison Crowder have all scored from the slot against 762 00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:32,920 Speaker 1: Tennessee so far this season. Like Nult's chances to do 763 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,560 Speaker 1: the same Marvin Jones. He even gets a C grade. 764 00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 1: And this one he'll go against Jack Rabbit Jenkins for 765 00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:41,720 Speaker 1: the most part. He's cooked, by the way, yeah, allowing 766 00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:43,800 Speaker 1: a passer rating of one oh seven. If he loves 767 00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:48,720 Speaker 1: over to the other no, probably not. Maybe Jack Rabbit Jerky, 768 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,799 Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah. Uh. If he moves to the 769 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,960 Speaker 1: other side, he gets Christian Fulton. It's Jackrabbit Jenkins. Can 770 00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,440 Speaker 1: we call him jack Rabbit? Yeah? We can't all right, 771 00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 1: that's actually dubbed a name change. Christian Fulton's allowed two 772 00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:06,839 Speaker 1: touchdowns in his coverage so far. So Jones gets the sea. 773 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,080 Speaker 1: Last guy, James Robinson, he gets a B grade. Was 774 00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,880 Speaker 1: on the field for almost every snap last week and 775 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,080 Speaker 1: has now commanded twenty one and twenty touches in the 776 00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:19,040 Speaker 1: last two weeks. The Titans have given up a touchdown 777 00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:22,080 Speaker 1: to a running back in three straight games, including two 778 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,200 Speaker 1: to Bell Cow Chris Carson in Week two. It's worth 779 00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 1: noting that no back has topped sixty five yards on 780 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:31,080 Speaker 1: the ground this year against the Titans, though, so the 781 00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:33,520 Speaker 1: touchdowns will be there. But it's so easy to pass 782 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:37,560 Speaker 1: on the Titans that people don't usually run against them. 783 00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:41,600 Speaker 1: I like Trevor Lawrence and the running that we saw. Yeah, 784 00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:45,040 Speaker 1: last time we saw Trevor Lawrence. I have him, yeah 785 00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:49,560 Speaker 1: if if I want them to keep running him. Design runs, 786 00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:53,400 Speaker 1: not scrambles. The design runs we saw. He's not Lamar Jackson, 787 00:42:54,040 --> 00:42:57,520 Speaker 1: but he's but he he really is fleet of foot, 788 00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,399 Speaker 1: and I think they can they can do some things 789 00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,000 Speaker 1: with him on the ground. I want them to continue 790 00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:06,400 Speaker 1: doing that. Quite fat um Thursday. Last Thursday night, we 791 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:11,920 Speaker 1: saw Robert Woods come back to prominence in the Rams offense. Brian, 792 00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,280 Speaker 1: do you believe Robert Woods is back as a reliable 793 00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,120 Speaker 1: starter now or do you think that was just a 794 00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:20,600 Speaker 1: one game matchup? Fluke, it's a bad secondary. I believe 795 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:24,239 Speaker 1: he was finally invited to the breakfast table. That is 796 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,919 Speaker 1: what That's what happened, right. Uh No, he's not old 797 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,080 Speaker 1: enough to have fallen off the cliff like we had appeared, 798 00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 1: had appeared he had fallen off. No, he looked great, 799 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 1: and uh no, I'm it's probably the window was slam shut. 800 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,319 Speaker 1: You buy him incredibly low, Robert Woods, that is, but 801 00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,960 Speaker 1: I'm still buying. I'm very bullish on Bobby Trees. He's 802 00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:45,560 Speaker 1: coming back big. Yeah. I still like that whole passing offense. 803 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,960 Speaker 1: And there's just so many good receiving options including Higbee 804 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,640 Speaker 1: and Van Jefferson and DeShawn Jackson that some some games 805 00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,279 Speaker 1: your favorite receiver is just not going to get the 806 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,640 Speaker 1: ball as much as you want. Unfortunately, it just means 807 00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,120 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford is going to always be the best. But 808 00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:03,879 Speaker 1: that that's right. He's gonna be super reliable that way. 809 00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,040 Speaker 1: If you haven't yet checked out a Guillotine league you 810 00:44:06,040 --> 00:44:09,120 Speaker 1: can still join the Guillotine League almost every day at 811 00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,080 Speaker 1: Guillotine leagues dot com.

Not just a clever name, No, it's it's 822 00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:07,440 Speaker 1: a very literal name. We should probably come up with 823 00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,320 Speaker 1: a more clever name for this bit that don't involve 824 00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:14,839 Speaker 1: like hot questions. It's not that's not particularly clever at all. 825 00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:20,520 Speaker 1: Tough question number one, cor Darryl Patterson has been found money. 826 00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:25,400 Speaker 1: Are you selling high or you holding tight? Matt Um. 827 00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,240 Speaker 1: Everyone is trying to sell high on cor Darryl Patterson 828 00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,399 Speaker 1: right now, and I'm not sure that he's a guy 829 00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:34,080 Speaker 1: that you can sell for a regular priced starter right now. 830 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:38,239 Speaker 1: The Falcon's offense is a mess outside of him. Basically 831 00:45:38,280 --> 00:45:42,280 Speaker 1: every other Falcon has been a massive disappointment this season. Still, 832 00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:44,840 Speaker 1: they're not going to double cover him out of the 833 00:45:44,880 --> 00:45:47,719 Speaker 1: backfield and leave Calvin Ridley or Kyle Pitt's open, So 834 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:50,759 Speaker 1: I would hold tight. He's going to be startable in 835 00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:54,360 Speaker 1: several instances, and I have reason to believe that Colin 836 00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:56,520 Speaker 1: mccockney is probably going to give him a very good 837 00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,920 Speaker 1: grade this weekend against the Jets. You may have already 838 00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:03,400 Speaker 1: talked to Colin in the Green about this, Brian Cardal Patterson, 839 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,480 Speaker 1: are you selling high or holding tight? One of the 840 00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:10,520 Speaker 1: most fascinating storylines and the history of fantasy football unfolding 841 00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:12,399 Speaker 1: before our eyes right now. And now you call them 842 00:46:12,400 --> 00:46:14,920 Speaker 1: found money, which he is in, um, you know, standard leagues, 843 00:46:14,960 --> 00:46:16,960 Speaker 1: but I think of like the big best ball tournaments 844 00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:20,120 Speaker 1: on underdog DraftKings, you know, ones that wrapped up before 845 00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:25,160 Speaker 1: the season started. He was under ten percent easily, and 846 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,600 Speaker 1: this guy is just killing it. But I don't know. 847 00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:31,359 Speaker 1: Last week he played of the snaps, saw eleven opportunities, 848 00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:35,480 Speaker 1: scored three times. It's a little flukey. It's he's not 849 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,840 Speaker 1: gonna get bell Cow usage. I'm I'm gonna try and 850 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:41,640 Speaker 1: sell high on CP eight four right now. But I 851 00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:43,440 Speaker 1: wouldn't be shocked if he keeps it up. But I 852 00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,719 Speaker 1: would go out, go shop and see what I can 853 00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,440 Speaker 1: get for him right now. Secretly, this is a Mike 854 00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:51,680 Speaker 1: Davis question. Davis is not getting it done. I don't 855 00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:54,600 Speaker 1: need to tell you guys that Next Gen Stats has 856 00:46:54,680 --> 00:47:00,239 Speaker 1: him with the league's worst rush yards over expectation. Care 857 00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,040 Speaker 1: to guess how many rush his average rushing yards on 858 00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:06,120 Speaker 1: a given carry. Rushing yards over expectation? Would you care 859 00:47:06,160 --> 00:47:12,920 Speaker 1: to guess over or is it a negative number? Negative 860 00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:19,319 Speaker 1: one point two yards? He's under expectations. We expect you 861 00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,239 Speaker 1: to go for and you're going two point eight exactly 862 00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:27,000 Speaker 1: exactly Mike Davish. Yep. How Falcon's head coach Arthur Smith 863 00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:31,160 Speaker 1: unleashing core Darrell Patterson is both a receiver and a runner. 864 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,120 Speaker 1: He's running the ball better at four and a half 865 00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:35,200 Speaker 1: yards per carry. That's almost a yard and half better 866 00:47:35,239 --> 00:47:39,640 Speaker 1: than Davis. He ranks. Patterson ranks as Pro Football Focuses 867 00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:43,759 Speaker 1: number two receiving running back in the league, behind only 868 00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:47,920 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey. Now Patterson is never gonna be a workhorse runner. 869 00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:50,960 Speaker 1: Arthur Smith is not going to turn him into Derrick Henry, right, 870 00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:55,280 Speaker 1: But why wouldn't he keep at least the current usage going, 871 00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,120 Speaker 1: and you know he's gonna catch a bunch of passes. 872 00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,120 Speaker 1: He'll chip in these extra rushing ards and Mike Davis 873 00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:05,440 Speaker 1: simply isn't requisitive getting workhorse numbers. So you know Patterson's 874 00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:07,680 Speaker 1: gonna keep getting this Now. To Brian's point, it won't 875 00:48:07,680 --> 00:48:09,399 Speaker 1: all turn into touchdowns, and that's a lot of what's 876 00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:12,120 Speaker 1: propelling him here with the five touchdowns so far. But still, 877 00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:14,920 Speaker 1: these kinds, this kind of found money doesn't come around often, 878 00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:19,440 Speaker 1: and you may as well keep what you got, tough. 879 00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:24,200 Speaker 1: Question number two, are you buying low on Allen Robinson 880 00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,560 Speaker 1: or you're just glad you don't have him? Brian? The 881 00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,440 Speaker 1: quarterbacking has been awful for a rob this year between 882 00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:34,080 Speaker 1: Dalton and Justin Fields getting his feet wet, but that's 883 00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,439 Speaker 1: been the story for a Rob's whole career. He's never 884 00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:38,480 Speaker 1: had a good quarterback and he didn't really use that 885 00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:41,200 Speaker 1: as an excuse, but you still sort of ken, I'm 886 00:48:41,239 --> 00:48:43,839 Speaker 1: buying low on Alan Robbinson, one of the still one 887 00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,920 Speaker 1: of the premier talented wide receiver. He dropped a touchdown 888 00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:48,800 Speaker 1: a few weeks ago that would have patted his numbers 889 00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:52,000 Speaker 1: a little more. Only saw three targets from Fields last week, 890 00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:54,239 Speaker 1: but he caught all three for sixty plus yards, So 891 00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:57,200 Speaker 1: give him eight targets. That's over a hundred yards. I 892 00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:00,799 Speaker 1: don't know there were some dots connected between Fields and 893 00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:03,560 Speaker 1: a rob last week. I think that chemistry only grows. 894 00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:06,600 Speaker 1: Feel certainly was looking Darnell Mooney's way a whole lot more. 895 00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:09,760 Speaker 1: But Robinson is still the better talent. I think Field 896 00:49:09,760 --> 00:49:11,920 Speaker 1: will lean on him more and more each week as 897 00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,919 Speaker 1: his rookie season progresses. So so I am buying low 898 00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,080 Speaker 1: on Allen Robinson. All right, Matt, are you buying low 899 00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,080 Speaker 1: and Allen Robinson? Are you just glad you don't have them? 900 00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,800 Speaker 1: I'm buying low as well as target totals of four, six, 901 00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:23,879 Speaker 1: and three in the games that Fields has played are 902 00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:26,920 Speaker 1: kind of concerning compared to Darnell Mooneys eight, four and 903 00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:30,160 Speaker 1: seven targets. In the one game that Andy Dalton started 904 00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:34,040 Speaker 1: and finished, Robinson had eleven targets, so obviously he felt 905 00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,800 Speaker 1: a little more comfortable with Andy Dalton. M center. Honestly, 906 00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:39,920 Speaker 1: that was part of the reason I asked this question. Yeah. Um. 907 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,480 Speaker 1: The biggest concern though, is the offensive line just being 908 00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,239 Speaker 1: one of the worst in the in the league. But 909 00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:47,600 Speaker 1: with those concerns, it comes a buying opportunity because the 910 00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:50,160 Speaker 1: schedule is bad for the Bears. Over the next month 911 00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,600 Speaker 1: they have a couple of really really good teams that 912 00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:56,440 Speaker 1: are stoppers. But after their bye week it's wide open, 913 00:49:56,680 --> 00:50:00,399 Speaker 1: and Justin Fields might actually now have the confidence feel 914 00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:02,759 Speaker 1: comfortable in the pocket. And I think that there's going 915 00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,600 Speaker 1: to be a couple more by low opportunities for Allen Robinson. 916 00:50:05,600 --> 00:50:08,480 Speaker 1: But it's a good time to do it. So really 917 00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:09,640 Speaker 1: what you want to do is buy a low, but 918 00:50:09,719 --> 00:50:11,600 Speaker 1: not yet. Later I might. I might wait a week 919 00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:14,920 Speaker 1: or two and buy low. It might get worse. The 920 00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,840 Speaker 1: correct answer is by low. Although I do like what 921 00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:19,560 Speaker 1: you're talking about with the schedule, maybe I'll buy a 922 00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:21,680 Speaker 1: low later, but we're gonna buy low Robinson even now 923 00:50:21,719 --> 00:50:24,520 Speaker 1: he's in a contract year, let's remember, so he's highly motivated. 924 00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:27,839 Speaker 1: Fields is going to get better in all probability. And 925 00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,480 Speaker 1: I went back and watch all the Fields has passes 926 00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:32,319 Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, just to really get a 927 00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:34,319 Speaker 1: better sense of of how he's looked as a as 928 00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:38,439 Speaker 1: a bear. His downfield passing is so good, oh man, 929 00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:43,680 Speaker 1: it's it's uncanny for a kid with this little experience 930 00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:47,600 Speaker 1: to be nailing his thirty and forty and fifty yard passes. 931 00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:51,600 Speaker 1: Very promising, and if you can unlockdown field passing, that 932 00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:53,759 Speaker 1: can be huge for Robinson, who's been in this like 933 00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:58,440 Speaker 1: middling nine yard range for average target distance, which is 934 00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:00,120 Speaker 1: like right in the middle of the field. If you 935 00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:05,239 Speaker 1: can get If you can get Robinson down field more 936 00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:07,759 Speaker 1: often and open and have a guy who can deliver 937 00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,080 Speaker 1: them the ball, there could be some scary things there. 938 00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:13,720 Speaker 1: And let's you remember, Alan Robinson is really good. Nobody's 939 00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:16,600 Speaker 1: even mentioned that yet. He gets separation, He has a 940 00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:20,719 Speaker 1: lead hands, the footwork, the contested catches. We're gonna buy 941 00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:24,719 Speaker 1: low on Allen Robinson. Tough Question number three, what is 942 00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:29,640 Speaker 1: the appropriate level of concern for Miles Sanders owners? None? 943 00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:37,719 Speaker 1: Some or a bowl loosening level of existential dread? Matt, 944 00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:43,279 Speaker 1: we begin with you. It's blowed load. It's a new 945 00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:46,719 Speaker 1: coaching staff in Philly. They have no particular loyalty to Sanders. 946 00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,320 Speaker 1: It's starting to show at the emergence of Kenny Gainwell. 947 00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:52,279 Speaker 1: Gainwell hasn't taken over on the touch totals, but they've 948 00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:55,359 Speaker 1: essentially split those over the last two games, but he's 949 00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:58,760 Speaker 1: looked like the more dynamic back, especially as a pass catcher. 950 00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:02,200 Speaker 1: Gainewells also two touchdowns the Sanders big fat zero on 951 00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:05,640 Speaker 1: the season. At the minimum, this seems like a split backfield. 952 00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:08,440 Speaker 1: If you want to get more dramatic Hurts is probably 953 00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:11,080 Speaker 1: stealing some rushing touches as well. So I don't want 954 00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:14,319 Speaker 1: anything to do with Miles Sanders right now, Brian, what 955 00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:18,040 Speaker 1: is the appropriate level of panic for Miles Sanders owners 956 00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:23,879 Speaker 1: some or blowed? You gotta be full on blowed if 957 00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:27,239 Speaker 1: you're a manager of Miles Sanders, especially based on the 958 00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:30,200 Speaker 1: preseason a DP. I will take this opportunity. I don't 959 00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:31,799 Speaker 1: have much to add on top of what Matt said 960 00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:34,640 Speaker 1: other than I deserve a peacock for Kenneth Gamewell, my 961 00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:38,680 Speaker 1: last sleeper of the preseason. So you're very welcome if 962 00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:41,040 Speaker 1: you went out and grab Kenneth game Will. But yeah, 963 00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:44,200 Speaker 1: full on blowed for Miles Sanders. By the way, Kenneth 964 00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:47,560 Speaker 1: game Will leads the Eagles in red zone targets among 965 00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:51,120 Speaker 1: all wide receivers tell you ends tight ends. Yeah, it 966 00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:53,720 Speaker 1: says a lot in that often incredible. Uh. The correct 967 00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:59,080 Speaker 1: answer is a bowl loosening level of existential dread because 968 00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:03,160 Speaker 1: he's an elite blocker. Miles Sanders is in the game 969 00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:04,600 Speaker 1: a lot, and if you look at his snap counts 970 00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:07,799 Speaker 1: are really high. But he's coming off games of two 971 00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:11,440 Speaker 1: carries and seven carries. That's all they're asking him to 972 00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:17,120 Speaker 1: do full back. Now. Uh. We talked about the yards 973 00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:22,600 Speaker 1: over expectation and how Mike Davis was actually yards under expectation. 974 00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:27,560 Speaker 1: You know who else's yards under expectation. Miles Sanders half 975 00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:32,560 Speaker 1: a yard under expectation. New coaching staffs have very little 976 00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:35,480 Speaker 1: allegiance to the guys who are already there, and a 977 00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:37,759 Speaker 1: lot of allegiance to the guys they just drafted that 978 00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:41,920 Speaker 1: they've got their own fingerprints on. And that's Kenneth Gainwell, 979 00:53:42,239 --> 00:53:46,080 Speaker 1: who grades out better than Miles Sanders in many respects 980 00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:49,000 Speaker 1: by Pro Football Focus. I think if you're a Miles 981 00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,839 Speaker 1: Sanders owner, we're we're to the point now where how 982 00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,520 Speaker 1: do you start him? And probably not? This week let's 983 00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:57,960 Speaker 1: find out the Eagles take on the Carolina Panthers. This 984 00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:00,600 Speaker 1: was a great run defense for three weeks and then 985 00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:03,040 Speaker 1: they got shredded by Zeke. What do you make of 986 00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:06,200 Speaker 1: this matchup for the running backs for the Eagles, Yeah, 987 00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,560 Speaker 1: the Panthers is I'm sorry. The Cowboys just ran through 988 00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:10,200 Speaker 1: the Panthers like you said, but I don't like the 989 00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:12,600 Speaker 1: prospects for the Eagles backs. I got Sanders on the 990 00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:16,680 Speaker 1: bench and a C for Kenneth Gamwell, who's the premier 991 00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:19,120 Speaker 1: pass catching back on the team, and the preferred option 992 00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:22,080 Speaker 1: in the red zone for for Jalen Hurts among all players. 993 00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:24,560 Speaker 1: Lots of issues on the old line for UH Philly. 994 00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:27,360 Speaker 1: Right tackle Lane Johnson has been ruled out. They're already 995 00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:29,759 Speaker 1: down there starting left guard and starting right guard. I 996 00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:34,399 Speaker 1: think starting left tackle jordansta will play. He's gonna play. 997 00:54:34,800 --> 00:54:37,439 Speaker 1: Johnson will not play. Just too many issues, and after 998 00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:39,719 Speaker 1: Sanders game last week, I don't know how you could 999 00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:41,480 Speaker 1: trust him in your starting lineup. He's on the bench 1000 00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:44,160 Speaker 1: and Kenneth game will a C and PPR, but in 1001 00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:46,239 Speaker 1: standard he'd be on the bench for me as well. 1002 00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:49,000 Speaker 1: Uh Dallas Goddard not on the bench though, I'm gonna 1003 00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,560 Speaker 1: give him a B. The Cowboys tight ends just exposed 1004 00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:54,960 Speaker 1: Carolina for seven catches, seventy six yards and two touchdowns 1005 00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:58,200 Speaker 1: last week. It's certainly feasible that Goddard can produce here, 1006 00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:00,719 Speaker 1: and so could zach Ertz. To give him a seat 1007 00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:04,399 Speaker 1: just because he's still alive and plays tight end. Uh, 1008 00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:06,879 Speaker 1: DeVante Smith I like him this week. Some people don't, 1009 00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:08,800 Speaker 1: but I do. I'm giving him a b. Smith his 1010 00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:12,200 Speaker 1: top ten in airy yards among all players. They throw 1011 00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:15,080 Speaker 1: him deep all the time, caught seven of ten targets 1012 00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:19,040 Speaker 1: last week. The Panthers have allowed five wide receiver touchdowns 1013 00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:22,279 Speaker 1: in four games, and clear cut opposing number one wide 1014 00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:24,440 Speaker 1: receivers who are like the only option on the team 1015 00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:27,319 Speaker 1: like Corey Davis and Brandon Cooks, both at big days 1016 00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:31,719 Speaker 1: against Carolina, So I think Devonte Smith has that opportunity now. 1017 00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:36,400 Speaker 1: Jalen Reagor and Quiz Watkins, one of them is likely 1018 00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:39,399 Speaker 1: to score here. Like I said, Carolina has allowed five 1019 00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:42,120 Speaker 1: wide receiver touchdowns over the last four GAMESA Marii Cooper 1020 00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:45,799 Speaker 1: and Cedric Wilson both scored for UM Dallas last week. 1021 00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:47,600 Speaker 1: But I just don't know who's going to be between 1022 00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:49,920 Speaker 1: Reagor and Watkins, so I got got them both on 1023 00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:52,640 Speaker 1: the bench this week. Those are outside receivers, so maybe 1024 00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:54,399 Speaker 1: it's more of a reagor game. You know the problem 1025 00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:57,319 Speaker 1: with Watkins is it's like three targets a game. Yeah, 1026 00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:59,880 Speaker 1: so man, if he doesn't come up big, you get nothing. 1027 00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:02,520 Speaker 1: They're both daily darts for me, I can I can't 1028 00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:05,160 Speaker 1: trust either in seasonal formats, so they're both on the bench. 1029 00:56:05,239 --> 00:56:07,440 Speaker 1: I do trust Jalen Hurts. Those still going to give 1030 00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:10,279 Speaker 1: him a B. The Panthers have faced garbage quarterbacks this 1031 00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:13,080 Speaker 1: year outside of Dak Prescott, who threw for four touchdowns 1032 00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:15,640 Speaker 1: on just twenty two pass attempts last year, and Dak 1033 00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:18,360 Speaker 1: also ran for thirty five yards. He's not really considered 1034 00:56:18,360 --> 00:56:21,399 Speaker 1: as mobile as he used to shop. He's not as 1035 00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:23,480 Speaker 1: mobile as he used to be. And speaking of mobile 1036 00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:27,000 Speaker 1: mobile quarterbacks, Hurts is the only true mobile quarterback the 1037 00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:30,440 Speaker 1: Panthers have faced since the start of last year, and 1038 00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:33,840 Speaker 1: that's only outside of Kyler Murray, who they played last season. 1039 00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:36,600 Speaker 1: He ran for seventy eight yards. Hurts his rushing floor 1040 00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:40,000 Speaker 1: just makes him so safe with massive upside, So an 1041 00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,960 Speaker 1: easy b for Jalen Hurts and staying on the rushing 1042 00:56:44,040 --> 00:56:48,280 Speaker 1: quarterbacks tip going over to the Carolina side, Cam Donald, 1043 00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:51,920 Speaker 1: you are you referring to the Sam Donald who leads 1044 00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:55,960 Speaker 1: the NFL and rushing touchdowns, not leads the NFL quarterbacks, 1045 00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:59,279 Speaker 1: but leads all NFL players and rushing touchdowns, Like you 1046 00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:02,360 Speaker 1: said with five, have a big old B for Sam. 1047 00:57:02,440 --> 00:57:04,960 Speaker 1: The rushing has obviously helped him maintain the status of 1048 00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:08,839 Speaker 1: Fantasy football's number two scoring quarterback, but he could keep 1049 00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:11,520 Speaker 1: on piling up the points against Philly, who was allowed 1050 00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:14,120 Speaker 1: eight passing touchdowns over the last two weeks. A B 1051 00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:17,840 Speaker 1: for Donald with a upside and speaking of a upside, 1052 00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:21,840 Speaker 1: DJ more easy A for him averaging nearly eleven targets, 1053 00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:24,880 Speaker 1: eight catches, and one hundred yards per game. He's also 1054 00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,960 Speaker 1: scored three times already, just four touchdowns last year, has 1055 00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:32,200 Speaker 1: three touchdowns already this year. He's not Tyree Kill just yet, 1056 00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:35,440 Speaker 1: but we all saw a Tyree Kill did to Philly 1057 00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:38,640 Speaker 1: last week three touchdowns and post yards. Just give DJ 1058 00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:40,600 Speaker 1: more half of that and we'll be happy and he'll 1059 00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:42,720 Speaker 1: live up to that A grade and Robby Anderson not 1060 00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:44,320 Speaker 1: getting in A not getting a B by I am 1061 00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:47,200 Speaker 1: gonna give him a CE. Just ten catches all season, 1062 00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:50,040 Speaker 1: but half of them came last week, So that's encouraging 1063 00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:53,120 Speaker 1: saw Levin targets. It's a decent matchup. I'm not giving 1064 00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:56,480 Speaker 1: up on Robby Anderson just yet. A C for him. Sadly, 1065 00:57:56,520 --> 00:57:58,480 Speaker 1: we cannot talk about Dan Arnold that tight end. I'm 1066 00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:01,200 Speaker 1: not gonna talk about Tommy Trump either, So I got 1067 00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:04,880 Speaker 1: the tight ends on the bench for Carolina. Christian McCaffrey downgraded. 1068 00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,760 Speaker 1: It's a doubtful on Friday. Thankfully, I don't think they 1069 00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:09,880 Speaker 1: needed him to play this week, so I'll give Cuba 1070 00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:12,840 Speaker 1: Hubbard the sea. I'm gonna quote U Team Leagues writer 1071 00:58:12,920 --> 00:58:16,600 Speaker 1: Brian jurch I got it right this time. Eagles are 1072 00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:19,080 Speaker 1: quite friendly the running backs, flowing the fifth most rushing 1073 00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:23,800 Speaker 1: yards and ninth most touchdown touchdowns, resulting in pffsty ranked 1074 00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:27,120 Speaker 1: run defense. This has become especially true after the injury 1075 00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:29,680 Speaker 1: to safety Cavan Wallace early in Week three. In those 1076 00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:33,040 Speaker 1: nearly two games since the defense has surrendered three rushing scores. 1077 00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:37,280 Speaker 1: The Eagles deep inside is a beat for Tuba Hubbard. Alright, outstanding? Hey, 1078 00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:43,480 Speaker 1: Sam Donald's new name, Sam Newton. I mean he's a 1079 00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:47,680 Speaker 1: rushing quarterback. Maybe all right, I don't know. I want 1080 00:58:47,680 --> 00:58:50,360 Speaker 1: to believe those two have very little in common when 1081 00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:53,400 Speaker 1: we come back, it feels like it's start all your 1082 00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:57,080 Speaker 1: Patriots against the Houston Texans, But I'm gonna give you 1083 00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:00,600 Speaker 1: four reasons to think twice. When we return to Fantasy 1084 00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:22,720 Speaker 1: Football Weekly. It's Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charchi and Brian 1085 00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:28,120 Speaker 1: Johnson and Matt Harrison with you. The New England Patriots 1086 00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:32,680 Speaker 1: travel to Houston. And at the beginning of the week, 1087 00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:36,280 Speaker 1: when I started working on this matchup, it was start everybody, 1088 00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:39,400 Speaker 1: and then as the week went on, like, oh boy, 1089 00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:43,840 Speaker 1: Trent Brown offensive lineman, Trent Brown out, Chack Mason out, 1090 00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:49,800 Speaker 1: Isaiah Winn and Mike on when New covid. Now there's 1091 00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:53,240 Speaker 1: still a slim chance that win or and No WO 1092 00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:57,360 Speaker 1: could get the second negative that they need before game time, 1093 00:59:57,360 --> 01:00:01,160 Speaker 1: But right now it appears that they will not play 1094 01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:04,320 Speaker 1: and the Patriots will have one starting offensive lineman in 1095 01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:07,400 Speaker 1: the game. So I'm kind of down on everybody, even 1096 01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:11,240 Speaker 1: in a positive matchup. Let's start with Damien Harris, who 1097 01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:13,560 Speaker 1: I was very excited for a big bounce back performance 1098 01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:17,320 Speaker 1: after a couple of very difficult matchups. Texans allowing the 1099 01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:21,000 Speaker 1: fifth most rushing yards per game five yards per carry, 1100 01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:24,040 Speaker 1: and Harris has been getting plenty of workload and he's 1101 01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:25,440 Speaker 1: not involved in the passing game. But you knew that 1102 01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:27,800 Speaker 1: when you drafted him. Not a big deal that way. 1103 01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:29,880 Speaker 1: I liked him, but now I can only give him 1104 01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:31,800 Speaker 1: a C grade based and I'm missing four of his 1105 01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,960 Speaker 1: offensive linemen. Let's go to the passing side of it. 1106 01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:37,480 Speaker 1: Mac Jones gets a C grade. He's coming off his 1107 01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:40,080 Speaker 1: best game. Now he gets his easiest defense in the 1108 01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:44,200 Speaker 1: entire year. Houston Texans have allowed three hundred passing yards 1109 01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:50,360 Speaker 1: and or multiple touchdowns to every opposing running back. Matt 1110 01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:52,960 Speaker 1: Jones receivers have plus matchups. I'll talk about them in 1111 01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:56,240 Speaker 1: a minute. Houston opponents generally get ahead early and run 1112 01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:58,040 Speaker 1: the ball, so I don't think mac Jones is gonna 1113 01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:01,160 Speaker 1: like fill your box score, but as a second quarterback, 1114 01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:03,560 Speaker 1: you could probably do worse than mac Jones should find 1115 01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:05,720 Speaker 1: his way to an okay game here see grade on 1116 01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:09,160 Speaker 1: mac Jones C grade and Jacoby Myers. Lots of targets. 1117 01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:11,760 Speaker 1: He's getting ten per game. He's the clear number one 1118 01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:15,120 Speaker 1: receiver for the Patriots. Back to back strong PPR games 1119 01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:16,640 Speaker 1: him as well. He just hasn't found the end zone 1120 01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:20,240 Speaker 1: yet ever or ever did career. He's in there I 1121 01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:23,320 Speaker 1: did not know that it's never found the career opposing 1122 01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:26,240 Speaker 1: top receivers, though, in fact, I'm gonna call it right here, 1123 01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:28,800 Speaker 1: posing top receivers are the ones who post the big 1124 01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:33,360 Speaker 1: games against Houston. Stefon Diggs, d J. Moore, Marvin Jones 1125 01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:36,800 Speaker 1: all big games against Houston. I've only got a C 1126 01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:41,720 Speaker 1: grade the touchdown now, but I would not surprise me 1127 01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:43,600 Speaker 1: if he has it. And again, if the four linemen 1128 01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:46,520 Speaker 1: were there, it would be a totally different story. But 1129 01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:49,480 Speaker 1: I'm very worried about that. Hunter Henry and John new Smith, 1130 01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:51,280 Speaker 1: the originally had C grades on, but I gotta put 1131 01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:52,880 Speaker 1: him on the bench because they're gonna have to stay 1132 01:01:52,920 --> 01:01:57,440 Speaker 1: back and block. Now. I'll mention though Houston's allowing the 1133 01:01:57,480 --> 01:02:00,840 Speaker 1: fourth most tight end yards and the second most then touchdowns, 1134 01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:05,160 Speaker 1: so the opportunity is still juicy for those guys. But 1135 01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:07,360 Speaker 1: I'm just worried they're gonna be blocking in this game. 1136 01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:09,840 Speaker 1: At least still be on the field a lot. There's 1137 01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:14,040 Speaker 1: that the opportunities might be there. All right, let's go 1138 01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:15,640 Speaker 1: to the Houston side. But there's only one player you 1139 01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:19,160 Speaker 1: care about, and that's Brandon Cooks. Davis Mills totally unraveled, 1140 01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:24,600 Speaker 1: last week brutal game, Cooks finally had the bad game 1141 01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:26,560 Speaker 1: that went with it. And I can't tell you that 1142 01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:29,320 Speaker 1: David's Mills is gonna be any better against Bill Belichick 1143 01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:34,280 Speaker 1: than he was last week. So do you start Cooks? Well? 1144 01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:37,400 Speaker 1: Throughout his entire career, Cooks has found ways to good 1145 01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:40,160 Speaker 1: box scores no matter what team he's playing for Beaux 1146 01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:42,560 Speaker 1: now in his fourth team, no matter who the quarterback is, 1147 01:02:42,560 --> 01:02:45,200 Speaker 1: He's had a dozen different quarterbacks, no matter what the 1148 01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:48,000 Speaker 1: defense is, more often than not, Brandon Cooks finds his 1149 01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:49,880 Speaker 1: way to a decent box score. So I'm keeping a 1150 01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:52,600 Speaker 1: C grade on bad Brandon Cooks. But that's it, and 1151 01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:54,640 Speaker 1: you're not starting anybody else. The running backs are all 1152 01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:58,040 Speaker 1: out Johnson. David Johnson's only one you can even consider 1153 01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:02,680 Speaker 1: starting in an uglee time share. But New England is 1154 01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:05,280 Speaker 1: not a bad run defense anyway, so why would you? 1155 01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:08,960 Speaker 1: And Alvin Cameron needed twenty four carries to get to 1156 01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:11,520 Speaker 1: just eighty nine yards against the Patriots, and nobody in 1157 01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:13,520 Speaker 1: this group is gonna get anywhere near twenty four carries 1158 01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:15,520 Speaker 1: in this game, so none of them. We're not going 1159 01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:18,320 Speaker 1: to start any of those now the moment many of 1160 01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:20,280 Speaker 1: you have been waiting for. Oh, should I go get him? 1161 01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:24,760 Speaker 1: Will you go get Colin mccockney, our London correspondent out 1162 01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:27,440 Speaker 1: of the green room.

I don't know which one. Uh, 1179 01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:40,200 Speaker 1: Mcockney was talking about there, but both boy Mikey Carter 1180 01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:45,400 Speaker 1: was arrisonce Penny, come quick, let's raise a pimple and blotch. 1181 01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:48,919 Speaker 1: Carter was Matt's take a chance on me running back. 1182 01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:53,120 Speaker 1: He also said something about drinking scotch there, which I 1183 01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:56,640 Speaker 1: need right now badly. Oh, Corey and Crowd are they 1184 01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:59,840 Speaker 1: full of honey? Take it to the rattle and clank. 1185 01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:04,280 Speaker 1: Fabio moron will tic Tac Davis, he's weeping and whale 1186 01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:08,280 Speaker 1: into one thirty four. Davis and Crowd are both getting 1187 01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:12,040 Speaker 1: B grades from Colin. Davis gets Fabian Moreau on the outside, 1188 01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:15,000 Speaker 1: who's allowing a passer rating of one thirty four in 1189 01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:19,120 Speaker 1: his coverage. Crowder gets the sugar basin t J mean 1190 01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:23,400 Speaker 1: he's Scotch missed because he's about to be short a sheet. 1191 01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:27,439 Speaker 1: Crowder gets uh t J. Green in the slot, who's 1192 01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:30,600 Speaker 1: allowed an eighty two percent catch rate two scores in 1193 01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:36,400 Speaker 1: a rating of one in his coverage. Falcon's peak is 1194 01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:39,720 Speaker 1: once a week, So let's get a lump of ice 1195 01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:43,320 Speaker 1: on Maddie events in Price Near and Far. He's a 1196 01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:46,800 Speaker 1: la mode to seventy five and three for you. That 1197 01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:50,200 Speaker 1: Ryan gets a c averaging two seventy five yards and 1198 01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:54,000 Speaker 1: almost three scores per game over the last three weeks. 1199 01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:57,720 Speaker 1: Stone is two D seventy five Colin, Can you help 1200 01:05:57,760 --> 01:06:02,200 Speaker 1: me with that? No? Okay, Jets defense is no give 1201 01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:06,560 Speaker 1: and take, specially over the Fisherman's Daughter. The Jets are 1202 01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:09,760 Speaker 1: strangely kind of a good past defense. They've only allowed 1203 01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:12,200 Speaker 1: to passing touchdowns on the season and are giving up 1204 01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:16,720 Speaker 1: two passing yards per game. Plus. Matt Ryan's top two 1205 01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:19,800 Speaker 1: wide receivers are out, not including Kyle Pitts. Of course, 1206 01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:24,439 Speaker 1: Calvin Redley, he did not his crowd his space, Nea 1207 01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:28,200 Speaker 1: did Russy Gage. They will play in East cuts and scratches. 1208 01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:32,000 Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley and also Gauge did not make the trip 1209 01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:35,880 Speaker 1: to London. That means Olamida Zakias and Taj Sharpe are 1210 01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:38,200 Speaker 1: the next wide receivers on the depth chart, but it's 1211 01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:42,960 Speaker 1: probably Cordarrel Patterson and Kyle Pitts actually manning those positions. 1212 01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:47,080 Speaker 1: Oh my, Coil Pits gets a housemaid's neat, he gets 1213 01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:50,960 Speaker 1: the Bonnie rubble from kata An Owl. Mccockney gives Pits 1214 01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:53,720 Speaker 1: a C grade here. Bryce Hall and the other Michael 1215 01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:57,160 Speaker 1: Carter have actually been above average at the cornerback position. 1216 01:06:57,240 --> 01:06:59,200 Speaker 1: Car lines up in the slot and make chip in 1217 01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:02,880 Speaker 1: on Pits. Still, they've been double teaming uh Pits a 1218 01:07:02,920 --> 01:07:06,080 Speaker 1: lot already this season with Ridley out, I would imagine 1219 01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:09,960 Speaker 1: or mccockney would imagine, they triple team Kyle Pitts. Now, 1220 01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:12,320 Speaker 1: that's that doesn't seem like what you said at all. 1221 01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:15,520 Speaker 1: I mean, Brian just said a lot of words, and Colin, 1222 01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:19,280 Speaker 1: you didn't say that much. Sadly, I understand this guy, Okay, 1223 01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:23,960 Speaker 1: airy Dash Patterson is a hey bail. The aeroplanes have 1224 01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:29,320 Speaker 1: offered Jack's alive touches to run us year old Tenney 1225 01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:33,640 Speaker 1: mates went ten and four nine and air last Bubble 1226 01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:37,360 Speaker 1: and squeak a grade for Cordill Patterson. The Jets have 1227 01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:40,800 Speaker 1: allowed five rushing touchdowns to the position this year, and 1228 01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:44,160 Speaker 1: the Titans running backs combined for ten catches and ninety 1229 01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:47,000 Speaker 1: four total yards to the air last week against New York. 1230 01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:51,680 Speaker 1: Even mikey Avis gets light and dark, he gets fifteen 1231 01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:55,680 Speaker 1: two shades er a game like Davis even gets to be. 1232 01:07:55,880 --> 01:08:00,200 Speaker 1: He's still getting around fifteen touches per game. That sit 1233 01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:03,560 Speaker 1: back to Richmond, your dustbin lids. I'm calling your uber 1234 01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:07,480 Speaker 1: right now to the airport. Can you actually uber all 1235 01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:14,440 Speaker 1: the way across the Atlantic and bike does that? I 1236 01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:16,760 Speaker 1: don't know that song? Is that the ted Lasso song? 1237 01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:19,479 Speaker 1: Right there? Is that the fight song from ted Lasso? 1238 01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:22,000 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I just saw that guy in the hallway. 1239 01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:25,519 Speaker 1: He was out of control. Yeah, that's Colin mccockney. Smells 1240 01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:28,200 Speaker 1: too British. By the way, if you want to order 1241 01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:32,160 Speaker 1: a Colin mccockney shirt, they're available at shock Fantasy dot 1242 01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:34,720 Speaker 1: com in the shop. That's fantastic. Yeah, I don't have 1243 01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:37,200 Speaker 1: a Colin mccockney shirt. Should probably think I just earned one. 1244 01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:43,000 Speaker 1: Cleveland takes on the Los Angeles Chargers. Brian, The Chargers 1245 01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:46,639 Speaker 1: pass defense has become very good, and we know that 1246 01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:49,559 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield is nursing a shoulder injury. So what do 1247 01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:52,840 Speaker 1: you do with that passing game? Uh? You pretty much 1248 01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:55,120 Speaker 1: avoid it for the most part. Uh. We'll get to 1249 01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:56,240 Speaker 1: that in a second. I want to talk about the 1250 01:08:56,320 --> 01:08:58,599 Speaker 1: running backs first for Cleveland because that's where this uh, 1251 01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:00,320 Speaker 1: this game is going to focus around. For the Browns. 1252 01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:02,320 Speaker 1: Nick Chubb can give him an a got vultured by 1253 01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:04,679 Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt at the goal line last week, but Chubb 1254 01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:06,960 Speaker 1: has seen the third most red zone carries in the league. 1255 01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:09,840 Speaker 1: So far, the Chargers are allowing the fourth most rushing 1256 01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:12,960 Speaker 1: yards per game to opposing running backs over fourteen yards 1257 01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:16,240 Speaker 1: per game. So continue to plug Chubb into your lineup 1258 01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:18,599 Speaker 1: with confidence. Gonna give him an A here, and Kareem 1259 01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:21,599 Speaker 1: Hunt gets a B. Basically playing half the snaps uh 1260 01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:24,360 Speaker 1: if not more at running back for Cleveland. He's also 1261 01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:28,080 Speaker 1: the preferred pass catcher unless it's de metric Felton go away, 1262 01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:33,519 Speaker 1: he's the worst. But Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard both 1263 01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:37,040 Speaker 1: produced against the Chargers recently. Chubb and Hunt can easily 1264 01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:39,759 Speaker 1: do the same. So I gotta be on Kareem Hunt. 1265 01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:43,200 Speaker 1: And the only starting grade for the pass catcher on 1266 01:09:43,240 --> 01:09:45,439 Speaker 1: the Browns goes to Odell Beckham Junior. Gonna give him 1267 01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:47,639 Speaker 1: a C. I give him an A for effort against 1268 01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:51,240 Speaker 1: the Vikings last week. You looked great. Baker could not 1269 01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:54,240 Speaker 1: find Yeah, missed him on at least two touchdowns. So 1270 01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:57,200 Speaker 1: a brutal outing for Beckham and I got chopped at 1271 01:09:57,200 --> 01:09:59,559 Speaker 1: my guilloting league because Baker missed him. I just see 1272 01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:02,280 Speaker 1: because I done either of the touchdowns, but the wide 1273 01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:05,679 Speaker 1: open streaking to the end zone for sixty yard touchdown 1274 01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:11,840 Speaker 1: would have been nice. Hopefully Baker Baker can be a 1275 01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:14,160 Speaker 1: little more accurate this week, but it's a brutal, brutal 1276 01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:17,559 Speaker 1: matchup for Beckham. The Chargers have surrendered the second fewest 1277 01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:21,400 Speaker 1: PPR points to wide receivers. L A will surely focus 1278 01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:24,599 Speaker 1: on Beckham, who is basically Cleveland's only wide receiver right now. 1279 01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:28,519 Speaker 1: Chris Harris and Asante Samuel Jr. Are legit cornerbacks for 1280 01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:30,639 Speaker 1: the Chargers, so just to see for Beckham, and I've 1281 01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:33,559 Speaker 1: got every other wide receiver on the bench for the Browns. 1282 01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:37,040 Speaker 1: I'm also benching Austin Hooper because David and Joeku should play. 1283 01:10:37,080 --> 01:10:39,400 Speaker 1: There too many mouse to feed at tight end, and 1284 01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:42,439 Speaker 1: without a doubt, Baker Mayfield is on the bench. The 1285 01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:45,200 Speaker 1: Chargers held down the likes of Dak Prescott and Derek Carr. 1286 01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:47,840 Speaker 1: Baker is not nearly as good as of those guys. 1287 01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:51,320 Speaker 1: An easy bench for Baker over to the Chargers side. 1288 01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:54,880 Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler looked awesome last week, but just to be 1289 01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:57,880 Speaker 1: for him in a very tough matchup against Cleveland. The 1290 01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:01,080 Speaker 1: Browns are allowing the fifth fewest rushing yards and receiving 1291 01:11:01,160 --> 01:11:04,120 Speaker 1: yards per game to opposing running backs. No back has 1292 01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:07,040 Speaker 1: topped forty three rushing yards or caught more than three 1293 01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:10,000 Speaker 1: passes against Cleveland, and the only touchdown they surrendered to 1294 01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:12,519 Speaker 1: the position went to Philip Lindsay in garbage time. So 1295 01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:14,800 Speaker 1: just to be for Austin Ekeler and just to be 1296 01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:17,840 Speaker 1: for Keenan Allen, who will primarily face off with Troy 1297 01:11:17,960 --> 01:11:20,320 Speaker 1: Hill in the slot. Hill has yet to allow a 1298 01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:23,320 Speaker 1: touchdown or more than fifty yards in his coverage this year. 1299 01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:25,240 Speaker 1: But you can never sit a healthy Keenan Allen. He 1300 01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:28,120 Speaker 1: gets a safe B from me. Uh. Mike Williams has 1301 01:11:28,160 --> 01:11:30,120 Speaker 1: also looked pretty good outside of last week, but just 1302 01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:32,719 Speaker 1: to see in this one, the Browns will be without 1303 01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:36,639 Speaker 1: starting corner Greg Newsome too. I always like when guys 1304 01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:38,800 Speaker 1: go with the two instead of the junior. You know 1305 01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:42,800 Speaker 1: what I mean. It's not it's the second, it's it's 1306 01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:49,160 Speaker 1: actually do part do heart shot hot hot shot, hot 1307 01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:53,920 Speaker 1: shots part. Anyway, Greg Newsom, the second will be out. 1308 01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:56,120 Speaker 1: But greedy Williams has looked good in a reserve role 1309 01:11:56,400 --> 01:12:00,480 Speaker 1: at corners, so don't get too greedy. But this Williams, 1310 01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:09,120 Speaker 1: the Browns are only a weapon. Catches yards games anyway, 1311 01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:13,639 Speaker 1: UH should feel shame right now? Speaking of bad has 1312 01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:17,080 Speaker 1: been opposing tight ends against the Browns this year outside 1313 01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:20,519 Speaker 1: of Travis Kelsey, who torched Cleveland in Week one. Since then, 1314 01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:23,439 Speaker 1: opposing tight ends are averaging sixteen yards per game over 1315 01:12:23,479 --> 01:12:26,479 Speaker 1: the last three weeks against Cleveland with no touchdown. So 1316 01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:29,519 Speaker 1: I have Jared Cook on the bench, especially with Donald 1317 01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:33,439 Speaker 1: Parham stealing touchdowns from Jared Cook recently. So Cook is 1318 01:12:33,439 --> 01:12:37,120 Speaker 1: on the bench, but justin Herbert the air Bear giving 1319 01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:39,559 Speaker 1: him a B. Not an ideal matchup at all, but 1320 01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:45,599 Speaker 1: just hoping talent wins there he is. Air Bear has 1321 01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:48,840 Speaker 1: thrown for over three yards end or multiple touchdowns in 1322 01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:51,519 Speaker 1: every game this year. Going back to last year. He's 1323 01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:55,240 Speaker 1: done that in sixteen of his last eighteen games. Miles 1324 01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:59,160 Speaker 1: Garrett might sit for the Browns, but probably not. But 1325 01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:01,920 Speaker 1: if he does, UM bumping up Air Bear to anyway. 1326 01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:04,720 Speaker 1: But he's just a B, A very little tepid on 1327 01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:07,920 Speaker 1: the B grade temporary expectations for air Bear. Unless Garrett sits, 1328 01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:11,000 Speaker 1: then I like him a lot more. Chicago takes on 1329 01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:15,519 Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders. I already gave you Damien Williams 1330 01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:18,040 Speaker 1: as might take a chance and the runner for the week. 1331 01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:22,320 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the passing game. Justin Fields is a tricky, 1332 01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:25,479 Speaker 1: tricky guy to figure out for this one. Raiders past 1333 01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:30,080 Speaker 1: defense has been shockingly good this year, and I don't 1334 01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:33,880 Speaker 1: think Justin Fields, in his third third ever start, is 1335 01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:37,360 Speaker 1: going to crack that trend. Chicago has one of the 1336 01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:40,519 Speaker 1: worst offensive lines and they were able to hide that 1337 01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:43,280 Speaker 1: last week because the Lions don't generate any pressure. But 1338 01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:47,599 Speaker 1: here comes the Raiders, ranked number one in pass rush 1339 01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:51,040 Speaker 1: by Pro Football Focus. I'm worried Justin Fields is going 1340 01:13:51,080 --> 01:13:54,160 Speaker 1: to be under great durests for a lot of this game, 1341 01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:56,640 Speaker 1: and if he doesn't have time to set up the 1342 01:13:56,680 --> 01:14:00,200 Speaker 1: deep passing, I don't like Justin Fields as much. What 1343 01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:03,360 Speaker 1: I love about Fields is the downfield passing. The other 1344 01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:05,719 Speaker 1: probably don't like is they only gave him seventeen pass 1345 01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:08,320 Speaker 1: attempts in the game last week, so they sheltered him 1346 01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:12,439 Speaker 1: a ton only seventeen against the Lions, against which which 1347 01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:16,040 Speaker 1: use that as your you're proving ground right there, Well 1348 01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:19,599 Speaker 1: you would think so. Um. Overall, the passing still pretty 1349 01:14:19,600 --> 01:14:22,800 Speaker 1: inconsistent here, and the other thing that bugs me they're 1350 01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:26,200 Speaker 1: not giving Fields any designed runs either. You know he's 1351 01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:28,840 Speaker 1: super athletic. You'd think you would give him some design runs. 1352 01:14:28,880 --> 01:14:31,840 Speaker 1: They haven't done that. Um it working in his favor. 1353 01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:35,120 Speaker 1: Las Vegas is third and fourth cornerbacks Damon Arnett and 1354 01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:38,080 Speaker 1: Trayvon Mullins are going to miss this game, so I 1355 01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:41,120 Speaker 1: like that. But I can I blend that all together 1356 01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:43,559 Speaker 1: into a C grade for Justin Fields. I'm nervous and 1357 01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:47,200 Speaker 1: I think there's a high level of possible outcomes here, 1358 01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:49,519 Speaker 1: including some bad ones. So I alluded to this earlier, 1359 01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:51,400 Speaker 1: but their schedules bad for the next month. It's the 1360 01:14:51,479 --> 01:14:54,439 Speaker 1: Raiders than the Packers, than the Bucks than the Niners. 1361 01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:59,679 Speaker 1: By then, Matt Naggie has fired, and then and then 1362 01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:02,599 Speaker 1: just and Fields can cut loose. Well, Bill Laser's calling 1363 01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:05,479 Speaker 1: the plays, which helps. But yeah, maybe that helps. You 1364 01:15:05,520 --> 01:15:07,920 Speaker 1: know Packers will be without JR. Alexander for that. That's 1365 01:15:07,960 --> 01:15:11,320 Speaker 1: probably the Buck secondaries a disaster. Nobody even tries to 1366 01:15:11,400 --> 01:15:13,759 Speaker 1: run on them. Those might end up being plus games 1367 01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:17,000 Speaker 1: for Justin Fields down the road, Let's talk about his receivers. 1368 01:15:17,040 --> 01:15:21,639 Speaker 1: Darnell Mooney had three awesome plays last week in two 1369 01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:24,920 Speaker 1: of the three cases totally broken coverage by the Lions, 1370 01:15:24,920 --> 01:15:28,480 Speaker 1: and he was wide open in the other one beautiful 1371 01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:33,120 Speaker 1: downfield pass about forty five yards downfield. That was perfect. 1372 01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:36,600 Speaker 1: So I want to look at Mooney this week. The 1373 01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:39,759 Speaker 1: coverage is gonna be better because the Vegas secondary is better. 1374 01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:42,599 Speaker 1: And check out this specific matchup. The Raiders have got 1375 01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:46,719 Speaker 1: this rookie cornerback named Nate Hobbs who's been shockingly good. 1376 01:15:47,160 --> 01:15:50,400 Speaker 1: Hobbs is giving up just twenty one scoreless yards per game, 1377 01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:53,800 Speaker 1: and he lines up against the fast guy on the 1378 01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:57,280 Speaker 1: other team because he ran He ran a four three, 1379 01:15:58,080 --> 01:16:02,280 Speaker 1: nine forty yard dash at the combine, and so that'll 1380 01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:04,400 Speaker 1: be Mooney. And so I've only got the C grade 1381 01:16:04,439 --> 01:16:06,360 Speaker 1: on Mooney in this one because I'm worried about that 1382 01:16:06,400 --> 01:16:11,400 Speaker 1: matchup with Nate Hobbs. For Allen Robinson, he did show 1383 01:16:11,439 --> 01:16:14,120 Speaker 1: some signs of life with Justin Fields under center. He 1384 01:16:14,160 --> 01:16:16,240 Speaker 1: caught all three of his targets, but he turned it 1385 01:16:16,240 --> 01:16:18,960 Speaker 1: into sixty three yards, which was good. Um, I believe 1386 01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:22,160 Speaker 1: Robinson will get most of his work. Unfortunately, against Casey Hayward, 1387 01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:27,120 Speaker 1: who ranks number one among all cornerbacks in coverage by 1388 01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:31,080 Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus, He's giving up just twenty six yards 1389 01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:34,880 Speaker 1: in his coverage per game. No sorry, on the year, 1390 01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:40,640 Speaker 1: he's given up twenty six yards. So Allen Robinson just 1391 01:16:40,720 --> 01:16:43,560 Speaker 1: the C grade in this one as well. Let's go 1392 01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:47,800 Speaker 1: over to Las Vegas Darren Waller obvious A. But let's 1393 01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:49,840 Speaker 1: go to Derek Carr who was also an A. Here. 1394 01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:52,080 Speaker 1: I think it's got We've gotten to the point where 1395 01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:54,680 Speaker 1: where Derek Carr we can just say obvious A and 1396 01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:59,160 Speaker 1: just move on. He leads the NFL in passing yards. 1397 01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:02,240 Speaker 1: I mean, we're getting pretty close to that time. Cornerback 1398 01:17:02,320 --> 01:17:04,960 Speaker 1: Jalen Johnson's great, but everybody else in the Bear secondary 1399 01:17:05,240 --> 01:17:09,040 Speaker 1: is struggling badly. They've given up multiple touchdown passes in 1400 01:17:09,080 --> 01:17:11,879 Speaker 1: three or four games. Derek Carrson A grade. Hunter renfro 1401 01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:17,479 Speaker 1: is a B grade. He's the most reliable receiver on 1402 01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:21,679 Speaker 1: the team that has the most passing yards. He lines 1403 01:17:21,760 --> 01:17:23,880 Speaker 1: up in the slot. That puts him up against Duke 1404 01:17:24,040 --> 01:17:27,759 Speaker 1: Shelley or Marquis Christian, who have been a combined disaster, 1405 01:17:27,880 --> 01:17:31,679 Speaker 1: allowing an eight four percent completion rate and over seventy 1406 01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:34,040 Speaker 1: yards in their coverage in three of four games that 1407 01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:37,040 Speaker 1: they're combined like a team disaster. Well, that's because they've 1408 01:17:37,040 --> 01:17:40,280 Speaker 1: alternated in the slot trying to find somebody who's squasi 1409 01:17:40,280 --> 01:17:43,479 Speaker 1: component also be grades. For Rugs and Edwards, the Bear 1410 01:17:43,560 --> 01:17:46,000 Speaker 1: secondary has given up the second most scores the seventh 1411 01:17:46,120 --> 01:17:49,080 Speaker 1: most yards per game to receivers. Ruggs and Edwards both 1412 01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:52,360 Speaker 1: run from the the outsides of the field. When they 1413 01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:54,400 Speaker 1: line up on the left, they get the brutal match 1414 01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:56,479 Speaker 1: up with Jalen Johnson, who I mentioned earlier. When they 1415 01:17:56,520 --> 01:17:58,320 Speaker 1: run up on the right, you get the exact opposite 1416 01:17:58,880 --> 01:18:02,640 Speaker 1: Kindle vildo Are. It's easy to get a read on 1417 01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:06,200 Speaker 1: Kindle Vildor. He gives up a passer rating of one 1418 01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:09,200 Speaker 1: hundred fifty six in his coverage that is almost perfect. 1419 01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:13,360 Speaker 1: Ruggs and Edwards run from the slot as a lot 1420 01:18:13,439 --> 01:18:16,000 Speaker 1: as well. That can be a point of emphasis for 1421 01:18:16,120 --> 01:18:18,880 Speaker 1: them as well. So all around, I like all of 1422 01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:22,240 Speaker 1: the receivers Lyng Sharvet all be greats. Josh Jacobs had 1423 01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:24,720 Speaker 1: a dud game in his return last week, um, but 1424 01:18:24,760 --> 01:18:27,439 Speaker 1: I like the five catches that he had. Peyton Barber's hurt, 1425 01:18:27,479 --> 01:18:30,400 Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake's awful. The Bears are allowing the ninth most 1426 01:18:30,479 --> 01:18:33,240 Speaker 1: rushing attempts to opposing backs, and every opposing starter has 1427 01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:36,800 Speaker 1: had at least sixty six rushing yards, So I think 1428 01:18:36,880 --> 01:18:38,960 Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs actually has got a nice floor in this one, 1429 01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:40,880 Speaker 1: and he'll probably get to the sixty six yards on 1430 01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:43,639 Speaker 1: a bunch of carries. So we've got a B grade 1431 01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:48,280 Speaker 1: on Josh Jacobs as well. Gross When we come back, 1432 01:18:48,720 --> 01:18:53,200 Speaker 1: premature Speculation will tell you to jump in that time machine. 1433 01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:55,280 Speaker 1: Who do you want to pick up this week that 1434 01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:57,360 Speaker 1: everybody else will be trying to pick up next week? 1435 01:18:57,400 --> 01:18:59,200 Speaker 1: Find out when we come back to the final segment 1436 01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:14,599 Speaker 1: of Fantasy foot Ball Weekly. Welcome back to the show 1437 01:19:14,680 --> 01:19:17,599 Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charchie and Matt Harrison and Brian 1438 01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:20,360 Speaker 1: Johnson with you. This is a segment we like to 1439 01:19:20,400 --> 01:19:24,680 Speaker 1: call premature speculation. Players you want to pick up this 1440 01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:26,439 Speaker 1: week that everybody else will be trying to pick up 1441 01:19:26,479 --> 01:19:29,120 Speaker 1: next week. Matt Harrison, Who you got? I got Jeff 1442 01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:31,920 Speaker 1: Wilson Jr. And this one might be really premature. He 1443 01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:34,800 Speaker 1: had meniscus surgery earlier this offseason, was on a four 1444 01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:37,599 Speaker 1: to six month recovery projection and we're in month five 1445 01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:40,479 Speaker 1: right now, and what we know about his running back position, 1446 01:19:40,840 --> 01:19:44,519 Speaker 1: Kyle Wanahan hates all of his team, hates Trey Sermon, 1447 01:19:44,800 --> 01:19:47,479 Speaker 1: he hates everybody on that team. So Wilson is gonna 1448 01:19:47,520 --> 01:19:50,200 Speaker 1: be back in. He averaged seventy four rushing yards in 1449 01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:52,200 Speaker 1: a score per game and games we got ten touches 1450 01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:56,360 Speaker 1: last year. Brian, your premature speculation player. Go grab DeShawn Watson. 1451 01:19:56,640 --> 01:19:58,720 Speaker 1: Bob McNair, the owner of the Texans, is kind of 1452 01:19:58,800 --> 01:20:02,120 Speaker 1: reopened talks rumors saying that Watson could be traded will 1453 01:20:02,160 --> 01:20:04,040 Speaker 1: no by November second, so you don't have to hold 1454 01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:05,960 Speaker 1: onto him all year. Go grab him now. See if 1455 01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:07,639 Speaker 1: he gets moved in the next week or two. There's 1456 01:20:07,640 --> 01:20:09,760 Speaker 1: a chance Jarvis Landry is going to come up the 1457 01:20:09,800 --> 01:20:12,160 Speaker 1: injury list or is eligible to come off next week, 1458 01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:15,320 Speaker 1: and no Cleveland receiver has stepped up at all in 1459 01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:18,719 Speaker 1: his place. It's O, B J and nothing. Basically, Landry 1460 01:20:18,720 --> 01:20:20,960 Speaker 1: walks right back in to be a major factor in 1461 01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:24,040 Speaker 1: the Cleveland passing game. Let's go back to the matchup 1462 01:20:24,080 --> 01:20:26,640 Speaker 1: San Francisco takes on the Arizona Cardinals. Let's start with 1463 01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:29,280 Speaker 1: the running game which you just alluded to. Matt Elijah 1464 01:20:29,280 --> 01:20:33,360 Speaker 1: Mitchell completely off the injury list. That's gonna muddy this backfield. Yeah, 1465 01:20:33,360 --> 01:20:35,320 Speaker 1: I had Trace Sermon initially as a b when I 1466 01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:37,240 Speaker 1: thought Elijah wasn't gonna go. Now. I have them both 1467 01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:40,040 Speaker 1: on the bench because we don't know how this is 1468 01:20:40,040 --> 01:20:42,600 Speaker 1: gonna carry out. With both of these guys active. The 1469 01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:45,280 Speaker 1: cards have allowed over a hundred and ten combo yards 1470 01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:47,599 Speaker 1: to each of the last three runners that they faced, 1471 01:20:47,800 --> 01:20:49,840 Speaker 1: but it was the top three runners, and we don't 1472 01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:51,439 Speaker 1: know who the top is. So I'm gonna have both 1473 01:20:51,479 --> 01:20:54,200 Speaker 1: on the bench this week. Trey Lance, he's getting a 1474 01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:56,960 Speaker 1: C grade with Jimmy g Out. Completed half of his 1475 01:20:57,000 --> 01:20:59,599 Speaker 1: passes in relief of Jimmy g last week. That wasn't great, 1476 01:20:59,840 --> 01:21:01,800 Speaker 1: but he did have two scores and added forty one 1477 01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:04,200 Speaker 1: yards on the ground. The Cardinals are on offense that 1478 01:21:04,240 --> 01:21:06,880 Speaker 1: you have to chase, and they have allowed seventeen rushing 1479 01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:09,320 Speaker 1: yards to each of the quarterbacks they faced this year, 1480 01:21:09,400 --> 01:21:11,960 Speaker 1: none of which are noted speedsters. So Lance is a 1481 01:21:12,040 --> 01:21:15,439 Speaker 1: ce Deebo. Samuel is the only wide receiver you can start. 1482 01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:17,639 Speaker 1: He gets a bee. They move him around quite a bit, 1483 01:21:17,760 --> 01:21:21,040 Speaker 1: and the Niners may want to attack right cornerback Marco Wilson, 1484 01:21:21,360 --> 01:21:23,800 Speaker 1: who's allowing a passer rating of one thirty nine this 1485 01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:27,679 Speaker 1: season and has already surrendered three touchdowns. George Kittle can't 1486 01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:31,280 Speaker 1: start him. Downgraded the doubtful with the calf injury. They 1487 01:21:31,320 --> 01:21:33,200 Speaker 1: have a bye next week, so they're going to actually 1488 01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:35,840 Speaker 1: sit him. On the other side, Kyler gets an A 1489 01:21:36,000 --> 01:21:39,559 Speaker 1: Hopkins gets an a uh A. J Green usually lines 1490 01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:41,200 Speaker 1: up on the right side of the field and faces 1491 01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:43,880 Speaker 1: Drake Kirkpatrick, who usually patrols that side of the field. 1492 01:21:44,120 --> 01:21:46,360 Speaker 1: He held Tyler Lockett in check last week, so I'll 1493 01:21:46,360 --> 01:21:49,280 Speaker 1: put Green on the bench. Kirk usually man's the slot 1494 01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:51,880 Speaker 1: where he'll go against Dante Johnson, who's allowing a passer 1495 01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:54,479 Speaker 1: rating of one thirty in his coverage. He let Freddie 1496 01:21:54,520 --> 01:21:57,040 Speaker 1: Swain score last week, so kirk gets a b. Ron 1497 01:21:57,120 --> 01:21:58,720 Speaker 1: Dale Moore is only on the field for a third 1498 01:21:58,760 --> 01:22:00,840 Speaker 1: of his snap, so he's on the inch, so is 1499 01:22:00,880 --> 01:22:05,439 Speaker 1: Max Williams. The runners Chase Edmonds and James Conner, giving 1500 01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:07,920 Speaker 1: them both a C grade in this one. Evans is 1501 01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:11,360 Speaker 1: leading the snap share about sixty forty over Connor. Connor's 1502 01:22:11,439 --> 01:22:14,560 Speaker 1: leading in touchdowns and rushing attempts inside the ten. He 1503 01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:17,519 Speaker 1: scored four times this year. The Niners are allowing a 1504 01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:20,000 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty five combo yards and to score per 1505 01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:22,320 Speaker 1: game to opposing runners. My guess is that about ninety 1506 01:22:22,320 --> 01:22:25,120 Speaker 1: of that goes to Edmonds while the touchdown goes to Connor. 1507 01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:27,960 Speaker 1: That's C grades for both of them. Yeah, watch Chase 1508 01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:30,080 Speaker 1: Edmonds up to game time. He's got a shoulder injuries 1509 01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:32,439 Speaker 1: at game time. Decision would bump Connor up to a beat? 1510 01:22:32,680 --> 01:22:35,760 Speaker 1: That would that would be handy Brian. Buffalo takes on 1511 01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:38,960 Speaker 1: Kansas City. This Kansas City defense might be the league's 1512 01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:43,400 Speaker 1: worst defense. Yeah, m welb. Without Chris Jones, it's looking 1513 01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:46,880 Speaker 1: like the top defensive alignment. But we'll start with the 1514 01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:49,639 Speaker 1: running backs for Buffalo and our boy, Zack Moss, who 1515 01:22:49,640 --> 01:22:52,799 Speaker 1: gets a B. The Chiefs are allowing hundred and forty 1516 01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:55,200 Speaker 1: five combo yards and one and a half touchdowns per 1517 01:22:55,280 --> 01:22:58,840 Speaker 1: game to running backs. Uh. Mosses essentially taking over for 1518 01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:01,160 Speaker 1: Devin Singletary outs apping him in back to back week 1519 01:23:01,240 --> 01:23:03,559 Speaker 1: So a B for Moss and a Singletary is on 1520 01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:06,960 Speaker 1: the bench. Uh Stefon Diggs not on the bench. Of course, 1521 01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:09,920 Speaker 1: he gets an A. Kansas City has surrendered big games 1522 01:23:09,920 --> 01:23:13,559 Speaker 1: to Mike Williams, Keenan Allen, DeVonta Smith, hend Mark Keys 1523 01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:15,800 Speaker 1: Brown digs his due to go off here, so he 1524 01:23:15,840 --> 01:23:19,599 Speaker 1: gets an A. Uh colde Beasley unlikely to go off, 1525 01:23:19,600 --> 01:23:22,360 Speaker 1: but he does get a safe B, especially in PPR. 1526 01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:25,360 Speaker 1: He wasn't needed much against the Texans last week, but 1527 01:23:25,439 --> 01:23:28,000 Speaker 1: Beasley was certainly needed when these teams met in the 1528 01:23:28,040 --> 01:23:31,439 Speaker 1: playoffs last year. Beasley saw nine targets and caught seven 1529 01:23:31,479 --> 01:23:33,280 Speaker 1: of them for eighty eight yards. Kind of feels like 1530 01:23:33,280 --> 01:23:35,479 Speaker 1: a box score he can put together in this game. 1531 01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:38,439 Speaker 1: And Emmanuel Sanders and give him a C. Five catches 1532 01:23:38,439 --> 01:23:40,560 Speaker 1: and back to back games. This should be a shootout. 1533 01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:42,639 Speaker 1: He will produce in this one. So I gotta see 1534 01:23:42,640 --> 01:23:45,720 Speaker 1: on Manny Sanders and Dawson Knox, so B for him. 1535 01:23:45,720 --> 01:23:48,559 Speaker 1: The Chiefs have allowed the third most receptions and the 1536 01:23:48,680 --> 01:23:50,920 Speaker 1: most yards to the tight end position, and Knox has 1537 01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:53,840 Speaker 1: been on a rampage lately, tied with Stefon Diggs for 1538 01:23:53,880 --> 01:23:55,799 Speaker 1: the team lead in red zone targets and has scored 1539 01:23:56,080 --> 01:23:57,920 Speaker 1: in back to back games. So I love Dawson Knox 1540 01:23:58,000 --> 01:23:59,880 Speaker 1: this week with a B. And he got to love 1541 01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:07,559 Speaker 1: Josh Allen enough to give him the the Fantasy Funds 1542 01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:11,160 Speaker 1: Fantasy Fonzi got his own button on the bar. Every 1543 01:24:11,160 --> 01:24:15,000 Speaker 1: opposing quarterback has scored multiple touchdowns against the Chiefs. Lamar 1544 01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:17,920 Speaker 1: Jackson just ran over Kansas City for a hundred and 1545 01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:21,519 Speaker 1: seven yards a few weeks ago. So again the fantasy 1546 01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:24,639 Speaker 1: Fonzie for Josh Allen, A and A for Patrick Mahomes. 1547 01:24:24,760 --> 01:24:26,479 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go into that too much. You're starting 1548 01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:29,240 Speaker 1: Patrick Gohomes against anybody basically in A for him and 1549 01:24:29,320 --> 01:24:32,280 Speaker 1: a for Travis Kelsey even though Buffalo tight end. Buffalo 1550 01:24:32,320 --> 01:24:34,679 Speaker 1: has been tough against tight ends, allowing just over thirty 1551 01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:37,320 Speaker 1: five yards per game to the position. But Logan Thomas 1552 01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:39,520 Speaker 1: had a good game with forty plus yards and a touchdown. 1553 01:24:39,760 --> 01:24:41,600 Speaker 1: So I like Travis Kelsey enough to give him an A, 1554 01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:43,760 Speaker 1: but just to be for Tyreek Hill. The Bills have 1555 01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:46,080 Speaker 1: held the likes of Terry McLaurin and Brandon Cooks, and 1556 01:24:46,160 --> 01:24:49,599 Speaker 1: check Hill in the Chief's offense is next level compared 1557 01:24:49,640 --> 01:24:52,519 Speaker 1: to those guys. But Tri Davious White might shadow Hill 1558 01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:54,880 Speaker 1: a ton here unless they moved Hill to the slot, 1559 01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:58,000 Speaker 1: which they might, but uh, I'm temping on Hill. Here's 1560 01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:00,160 Speaker 1: for just a B for him and wide receiver. You 1561 01:25:00,439 --> 01:25:02,080 Speaker 1: such a dart throw for the Chiefs in the the game. 1562 01:25:03,320 --> 01:25:06,439 Speaker 1: Do not together on the bench this week. And C. E. H. 1563 01:25:06,479 --> 01:25:09,360 Speaker 1: Clyde Edward Clyde Edwards Hilaire almost on the bench, but 1564 01:25:09,400 --> 01:25:11,920 Speaker 1: to give him a C here despite the Bills allowing 1565 01:25:11,920 --> 01:25:14,880 Speaker 1: me fourth fewest rushing yards and eighth fewest receiving yards 1566 01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:18,439 Speaker 1: to opposing running backs, over all, the production they've given 1567 01:25:18,479 --> 01:25:20,439 Speaker 1: to running backs came on that one play from Antonio 1568 01:25:20,520 --> 01:25:23,240 Speaker 1: Gibson's sent me three yard catch and run. But C. E. 1569 01:25:23,439 --> 01:25:26,040 Speaker 1: H has kind of revived himself in Kansas City's offense, 1570 01:25:26,040 --> 01:25:27,599 Speaker 1: so I'll give him a C in the shootout. Ever 1571 01:25:27,640 --> 01:25:30,080 Speaker 1: since I named him Clyde Edwards Despair, he's been good. 1572 01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:32,960 Speaker 1: Let's go to Indianapolis taking up Baltimore on Monday night. 1573 01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:35,559 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor with a B grade. Ravens allowing the eighth 1574 01:25:35,640 --> 01:25:38,479 Speaker 1: fewest rushing yards per game to opposing running backs, will 1575 01:25:38,520 --> 01:25:41,360 Speaker 1: not allowing any back to top fifty six rushing yards, 1576 01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:44,240 Speaker 1: which is a bummer. Taylor has a league leading nineteen 1577 01:25:44,439 --> 01:25:46,920 Speaker 1: red zone rushing attempts, which I like, and the Ravens 1578 01:25:46,960 --> 01:25:50,000 Speaker 1: have already allowed five red zone touchdowns to opposing runners, 1579 01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:51,920 Speaker 1: so we'll hope for the touchdown for Taylor with a 1580 01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:56,000 Speaker 1: B grade. Carson Wentz gets a C grade, Calais Campbell, 1581 01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:59,960 Speaker 1: and rookie oh Dafe Away he is are generating a 1582 01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:02,559 Speaker 1: ton of pressure, and I'm worried about Wentz his protection 1583 01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:05,559 Speaker 1: behind that leakey offensive line. And the only good news 1584 01:26:05,560 --> 01:26:07,519 Speaker 1: here is is that Wentz likes his tight ends and 1585 01:26:07,520 --> 01:26:09,360 Speaker 1: the Ravens have given up the most catches in the 1586 01:26:09,400 --> 01:26:11,960 Speaker 1: second most yards to tight ends and that means mo 1587 01:26:12,080 --> 01:26:14,160 Speaker 1: Alei Cox gets a sea as here. We're not just 1588 01:26:14,240 --> 01:26:16,960 Speaker 1: chasing next week. You know that is an opportunity big 1589 01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:19,759 Speaker 1: game last week. He could do it again here. Michael Pittman. 1590 01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:23,040 Speaker 1: Over the last three games, Pittman is averaging ten targets 1591 01:26:23,080 --> 01:26:26,920 Speaker 1: per game. Baltimore secondary has been very good in back 1592 01:26:26,960 --> 01:26:29,200 Speaker 1: to back games, but that was against Detroit and the 1593 01:26:29,280 --> 01:26:31,680 Speaker 1: drew lock led Broncos, So there's still an opportunity for 1594 01:26:31,680 --> 01:26:35,080 Speaker 1: Pittman and he gets a C grade. Also watch Nahem 1595 01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:37,559 Speaker 1: Hindes a game time decision here, but if he goes, 1596 01:26:37,600 --> 01:26:41,160 Speaker 1: he's startable because the Ravens have given up the fourth 1597 01:26:41,240 --> 01:26:44,080 Speaker 1: most receiving yards two running backs and could help you there. 1598 01:26:44,560 --> 01:26:48,439 Speaker 1: On the Baltimore side, Lamar Jackson is of an A 1599 01:26:48,680 --> 01:26:52,640 Speaker 1: grade here as Indie. Maybe without four defensive starters. The 1600 01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:55,919 Speaker 1: Colts have allowed multiple passing touchdowns in every game, including 1601 01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:59,800 Speaker 1: to the notoriously inept Jacoby Brissette last week, So he's 1602 01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:03,000 Speaker 1: an grade. So is Marky's Brown, a ridiculous nine scores 1603 01:27:03,040 --> 01:27:06,560 Speaker 1: in his last ten games. And here's Indianapolis, a secondary 1604 01:27:06,600 --> 01:27:09,719 Speaker 1: that's been tagged for a league high eight receiver scores already, 1605 01:27:09,880 --> 01:27:12,960 Speaker 1: so a touchdown feels like a lock for mark Kis Brown. 1606 01:27:13,479 --> 01:27:15,920 Speaker 1: We'll go to Mark Andrews next. Opposing tight ends have 1607 01:27:16,040 --> 01:27:19,680 Speaker 1: only totaled eighteen targets against the Colts, but the comparable 1608 01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:23,240 Speaker 1: Mike Kiseki just burned Indie for five catches, fifty seven 1609 01:27:23,280 --> 01:27:27,880 Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. And sticking with the receivers, Sammy 1610 01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:30,280 Speaker 1: Watkins with a C grade. He remains on the field 1611 01:27:30,280 --> 01:27:32,880 Speaker 1: of ton. He's led all Baltimore receivers in snap count 1612 01:27:32,920 --> 01:27:35,840 Speaker 1: almost every game, and this is a promising matchup against 1613 01:27:35,880 --> 01:27:39,000 Speaker 1: an injured secondary that's allowed the most wide receiver touchdowns 1614 01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:40,920 Speaker 1: as I mentioned before, So we'll give a C grade 1615 01:27:40,920 --> 01:27:43,800 Speaker 1: to Sammy Watkins. Here, We're gonna watch Rashod Bateman and 1616 01:27:43,840 --> 01:27:45,800 Speaker 1: see if he plays in this game and how much 1617 01:27:46,640 --> 01:27:50,360 Speaker 1: the running game for Baltimore is just gross. You know, 1618 01:27:50,479 --> 01:27:53,040 Speaker 1: I assume Tyson William is going to be deactivated again. 1619 01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:55,680 Speaker 1: And it appears Latavius Murray is going to be the 1620 01:27:55,760 --> 01:27:58,680 Speaker 1: apparent workhorse. They put Levy on Bell Back on the 1621 01:27:58,720 --> 01:28:02,760 Speaker 1: practice squad. The Colts shut down the meager Miami backfield 1622 01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:06,479 Speaker 1: last week, but the other three starters they faced, Chris Carson, 1623 01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:11,120 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry Darryl Henderson averaged a hundred fourteen total yards 1624 01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:13,400 Speaker 1: per game. And if Murray's going to get the majority 1625 01:28:13,439 --> 01:28:16,320 Speaker 1: of the work, well there's your angle. That's why we'll 1626 01:28:16,320 --> 01:28:19,479 Speaker 1: put a starting grade a C grade on Latavius Murray 1627 01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:22,320 Speaker 1: in this game.
