Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio,
Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice,
Speaker 1: now from Guillotine Leagues dot com. Here's your host, Paul.
Speaker 1: It's another edition of Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome to week
Speaker 1: number five. I'm Paul Scharchy and my co host today
Speaker 1: are Brian Johnson, Matt Harrison and special London contributor Colin mccockney.
Speaker 1: Back in the show. He's in the waiting room at
Speaker 1: I Heart Media here. Um, I was under the impression
Speaker 1: he was in London. I think that the London contributor.
Speaker 1: He's not. He's not call in London. Okay, he's the
Speaker 1: waiting room. He's in the waiting room right now. We
Speaker 1: keep him there the green we called the green room
Speaker 1: in the Business match. True, he's in the green room
Speaker 1: right now. Got it. God is so mad he made
Speaker 1: it through customs against all odds. Uh. We can known
Speaker 1: drug mule. Colin mccockney. Oh no, Uh. Coming up on
Speaker 1: this show, we will have the answers to three tough questions.
Speaker 1: Premature speculation is always one of the favorite segments on
Speaker 1: this show nine players upon whom you can take a chance,
Speaker 1: and we will break down every single NFL game from
Speaker 1: this weekend and assigned letter grades to every meaningful player.
Speaker 1: That's what we do here, and we begin with the
Speaker 1: Giants taking on the Cowboys. A four hundred yard passing
Speaker 1: game for Daniel Jones career high. What do you expect
Speaker 1: against and improved Dallas Cowboys defense? Yeah, I gave him
Speaker 1: a B grade. Actually went for four oh two and
Speaker 1: two last week against New Orleans. He's leading the Giants
Speaker 1: and rushing yards and has scored twice on the ground
Speaker 1: this year. The Cowboys defense has allowed each quarterback they
Speaker 1: faced the top three hundred yards, three of them through
Speaker 1: for multiple scores. Plus Sam Donald's rushing line from last
Speaker 1: week six carries thirty five yards, two touchdowns. That's favorable
Speaker 1: for Daniel Jones. Now, he's never top two or twenty
Speaker 1: nine passing yards against Dallas, but he did beat them
Speaker 1: in Week seventeen last year to knock the Cowboys out
Speaker 1: of the playoffs, so he's got a little confidence there.
Speaker 1: His wide receivers, it's uh, it's kind of ugly. Darius
Speaker 1: Slayton and Sterling Shepherd still not practicing there out this week.
Speaker 1: Kenny Golladay, he gets a C grade. He had a
Speaker 1: good week last week, but this grade is solely due
Speaker 1: to the Trevon digs hole he's about to enter. Can
Speaker 1: we call it the digs hole? I like I like
Speaker 1: the sound of that, but as as a way to
Speaker 1: and the dates is. The interceptions are great. He's given
Speaker 1: up the fifth most passing yards of any cornerbacks passer
Speaker 1: rating of forty two in his coverage. Interceptions are pretty important,
Speaker 1: but he's not intercepting the ball. The teams don't hesitate
Speaker 1: to throw at him, and that you can get something done.
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to the digs hole yet. He's got
Speaker 1: day still startable? Uh? Can Darius Tony? Uh? He can
Speaker 1: be started here. It's kind of a desperation. D grade
Speaker 1: should line up mostly in the slot, and the Cowboys
Speaker 1: have been hit hard from there. Both Chris Godwin and
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen both top a hundred yards this season from
Speaker 1: the slot against the Cowboys. But he's very gadgetty. They
Speaker 1: gave him ten touches last week, but he only had
Speaker 1: five total in the first three weeks. I don't think
Speaker 1: he's a surprise anymore to anybody, um, just to get
Speaker 1: us back on the rails. We have four designations for
Speaker 1: our players here, Matt A, B, C, and bench. I
Speaker 1: don't want you to suddenly start thinking you can just
Speaker 1: throw around D's pluses minuses, Tilda's uh, the carrot, the
Speaker 1: shift six. They're nothing, no special characters this. We have
Speaker 1: four officially approved designations. I'm so sorry, church uh. Se
Speaker 1: Kwan Barkley gets a open parentheses B, closed parentheses grade.
Speaker 1: Dallas has done a good job keeping running back and
Speaker 1: checked this year. No one has topped fifty seven yards
Speaker 1: on the ground. Austin Ekeler was the only one who
Speaker 1: eclipse a hundred combo yards. Most of that was done
Speaker 1: through the air. However, they've only played Tampa's mess of
Speaker 1: a backfield, Phillies gross backfield, and the Panthers without CMC.
Speaker 1: They're still passing game angle here. So se Kwan's an
Speaker 1: easy B. Dak Prescott gets an A. Every quarterback to
Speaker 1: face the Giants has had a good day. Even if
Speaker 1: you smushed together the Saints quarterbacks. That was the best
Speaker 1: quarterback performance of all last week. Amari Cooper and Ceedee
Speaker 1: Lamb are both getting A grades, although It is concerning
Speaker 1: that the target totals have been so low in the
Speaker 1: last two weeks against two teams that the Cowboys really
Speaker 1: didn't need to pass against, and the Giants could also
Speaker 1: fit that mold this week. However, the matchup is too tantalizing.
Speaker 1: James Bradberry has already given given up three touchdowns in
Speaker 1: his coverage. He moves around the field and should get
Speaker 1: some equal playing time on both Lamb and Cooper. Cedric
Speaker 1: Wilson sort of a dart throw in deeper leagues, especially
Speaker 1: with Jabril Peppers out yes, and and the won't see Bradberry,
Speaker 1: which is a bonus, that's true. And then Dalton Schultz
Speaker 1: he's getting a B grade it appears. It appears that
Speaker 1: he's taken over the top spot on the tight end
Speaker 1: depth chart with seven and eight targets in the last
Speaker 1: two week compared to two and three for Blake Jarwin.
Speaker 1: Schultz actually rated as my number two tight end this week,
Speaker 1: behind Travis Kelsey on the Shock Fantasy Super Dash promo
Speaker 1: code radio for fifteen dollars off. That's because the Giants
Speaker 1: have allowed exactly one tight end touchdown in every game
Speaker 1: so far, and that's going to go to Schultz. Zeke
Speaker 1: gets an A grade, Pollard gets a. See it appears
Speaker 1: that we've exaggerated the death of Ezekiel Elliott on this show.
Speaker 1: Twenty carries a hundred and forty three yards in a
Speaker 1: score last week against Carolina. Scored three times in the
Speaker 1: prior to games. Really, his only bad game was Tampa.
Speaker 1: He's Zeke's running hard. I've been very impressed with him
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. Yeah, and the Giants have already
Speaker 1: given up a hundred yard games to Kamara and Melvin Gordon,
Speaker 1: a hundred yards combo yards to slash backup Cordarrell Patterson,
Speaker 1: So that means Pollard's involved too. He's still recording about
Speaker 1: ten touches per game, and that's startable if you need it.
Speaker 1: I like it. Denver takes on the Pittsburgh Steelers. That
Speaker 1: appears Teddy Bridgewater will be under center, which I think
Speaker 1: overall helps this offense. What do you think of the
Speaker 1: passing game for Denver, Brian, Yeah, Teddy Teddy will make
Speaker 1: the start past concussion protocol. I like him this week
Speaker 1: and give him a CEE. It's much easier to run
Speaker 1: or to pass on Pittsburgh than it is to run
Speaker 1: The Steelers are allowing nearly two hundred seventy passing yards
Speaker 1: and two passing touchdowns per game to opposing quarterbacks. So
Speaker 1: see for Teddy. I gotta be on Courtland Sutton, who
Speaker 1: is averaging more than eight targets per game since Week
Speaker 1: two in a good spot against the Steelers this week
Speaker 1: we're allowing more than five yards and nearly two touchdowns
Speaker 1: per game too wide receivers. Pittsburgh will also be without
Speaker 1: starting quarterback Cameron Sutton, who heard his growing against Green
Speaker 1: Bay last weeks. While I like no Cameron Suting will
Speaker 1: be out of No relations are not related. They're not cousins.
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton in with a B cornerback camera and Sutton out. Yes,
Speaker 1: he's on the bench and your id leaks. I'm not
Speaker 1: benching Tim Patrick either, I'm giving him a see. Patrick
Speaker 1: has posted double digit PPR points and two of three starts,
Speaker 1: and without Jerry Judy in the lineup, he's virtually playing
Speaker 1: every snap and a good matchup for wide receiver, So
Speaker 1: a see for Tim Patrick in just to see for
Speaker 1: Noah fan. This week pretty much a neutral matchup for
Speaker 1: fant Um. The Steelers have given up the twelve few
Speaker 1: cr two tight ends and just one touchdown this year,
Speaker 1: Um Fan, it is worth mentioning Noah Fan performed admirably
Speaker 1: against the Steelers last year with Jeff Driscoll at quarterback.
Speaker 1: Caught four balls for fifty seven yards in his score.
Speaker 1: So it's a huge upgrade with Teddy Bridgewater over Jeff Driscoll,
Speaker 1: or for Noah Fan and lastly for Jen For the
Speaker 1: running backs, we'll start with Javonte Williams. Gonna give him
Speaker 1: a week. Oh man, God, if you haven't watched him yet,
Speaker 1: He's something special. He's just not getting the opportunities. According
Speaker 1: to Pro Football Focus, uh, he has the highest mis
Speaker 1: tackle rate at thirty seven percent among all running backs.
Speaker 1: Just looks incredible. He's just not getting the touches. It's
Speaker 1: pretty much the most even times share with Melvin Gordon
Speaker 1: right now, who is kind of iffy to play, but
Speaker 1: he will play. He gets a sea. My sea on
Speaker 1: Williams is much more positive than the sea I have
Speaker 1: on Melvin Gordon, like like a delicious drink or something
Speaker 1: like that, like high see something like that. But I
Speaker 1: was just talking about delicious. Tust I just said, I
Speaker 1: feel more positive about the see for for Williams and
Speaker 1: I don't you feel positive about it? Like like it's
Speaker 1: a plus? Are you done now? Pretty much stealer. Not
Speaker 1: a great matchup for either running back though Pittsburgh has
Speaker 1: not allowed running back touchdown yet on the air or ground,
Speaker 1: but a sea for both Denver backs over to the
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh side, just to see. For nase Harris averaging fourteen
Speaker 1: carries an eight and a half targets per game, right
Speaker 1: target game, will skew that a little bit was very involved. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's a true bell cow Is O line and quarterback
Speaker 1: are failing him big time. Sadly, this is not a
Speaker 1: get right spot spot for Nasey. Denver is allowing just
Speaker 1: fifty point five rushing yards per game to running backs
Speaker 1: with one rushing touchdown. The Broncos have also allowed forty
Speaker 1: five receiving yards to running backs. That's not per game
Speaker 1: total forty five receiving yards on the year running backs
Speaker 1: For just a C for Naji Harris, I will give
Speaker 1: Deonta Johnson a B thirty five targets for Deontay so
Speaker 1: far as zero drops. We're all concerned about the drops
Speaker 1: last year with Johnson doesn't seem to be an issue
Speaker 1: Denver allowing roughly fourteen catches and one seventy five yards
Speaker 1: per game to wide receivers. They should get corner Ronald
Speaker 1: Darby back off of I R, but he'll be playing
Speaker 1: in a limited role if they do so. I like
Speaker 1: Johnson with a B and Chase Claypool can give him
Speaker 1: a C in a Spike game new term. He has
Speaker 1: a growing injury. Should play, But Denver drafted kJ Hamler
Speaker 1: six overall last year. There's a Spike game for everybody
Speaker 1: not drafted number. Chase clay Pool was drafted as the
Speaker 1: very next wide receiver as the nick in the Spike
Speaker 1: game over the jack. Oh that trust me. This is
Speaker 1: a thing. So Chase Claypool a see if he goes,
Speaker 1: and Juju Smith Schuster on the bench. If Claypool plays,
Speaker 1: if Claypool sits, I'll give Juju a CEE. But Juju
Speaker 1: is not looked good, averaging lesson four catches and thirty
Speaker 1: five yards per game, hasn't scored through the area, has
Speaker 1: a BS rushing touchdown. But Juju looks bad. And I'll
Speaker 1: just you know, I just we we as a show
Speaker 1: nailed Jujus foibles in the preseason. I just want to
Speaker 1: put that in there. And lastly, Ben Roethlisberger joining Juju
Speaker 1: on the bench again. If claypool sits, I'll give juju.
Speaker 1: See if Claypool uh Juju see if Claypool with those bench,
Speaker 1: if he plays Ben on the bench, two hundred fifty
Speaker 1: passing yards in one touchdown per game is his average,
Speaker 1: and that's pretty much his ceiling as well. He just
Speaker 1: there's better options out there than Ben Roethlisberg, no doubt.
Speaker 1: It's it's you're gonna have. We're only starting Bet in
Speaker 1: very specific situations, and this against a very good Broncos
Speaker 1: defense is not one of them. Better options might be
Speaker 1: Dwayne Haskins on their own period bench. It could be
Speaker 1: it could be Detroit takes on Minnesota in a game
Speaker 1: in which there's not a lot to like from the
Speaker 1: Detroit side of it. Detroit likely missing three offensive linemen
Speaker 1: and their best three both tackles and their center Frank
Speaker 1: rag Now are not expected to play in this game.
Speaker 1: And that's it's it's really muddied the usual formula for
Speaker 1: success for Detroit's players, which is garbage time. Garbage times
Speaker 1: coming in this game. But I don't even know if
Speaker 1: they can overcome this in Jared Goff's three good Fantasy games,
Speaker 1: and three of US four have been good. The lines
Speaker 1: have faced big deficits that will probably happen here. The
Speaker 1: one dud game was the type back and forth game
Speaker 1: with the Ravens. This is not going to be a
Speaker 1: tight game. But I just I'm nervous that Goff is
Speaker 1: not going to be able to overcome this offensive line deficit,
Speaker 1: and so I've only got a C grade on him.
Speaker 1: I have a The only receiver that I've got a
Speaker 1: starting grade on is t J. Hockenson. Minnesota hasn't allowed
Speaker 1: much to tight ends, but they've also faced mostly bad
Speaker 1: tight ends. Hockinson leads his team and targets receiving yards,
Speaker 1: and he does have playmaking ability with twenty or more
Speaker 1: yards in three plays of twenty or more yards in
Speaker 1: three or four games. But here I worry Hockins is
Speaker 1: gonna have to stay in block because both the tackles
Speaker 1: are gonna be out. So I've only got the C
Speaker 1: grade on Hockinson in this game, which is lower than
Speaker 1: I wanted it to be, in lower than I expected
Speaker 1: it to be. Um Quintess c Fist is on the bench.
Speaker 1: Cliff Raymonds on the bench again, worried about worried about
Speaker 1: this offense having enough time with this bad offensive line,
Speaker 1: if you had to throw a dart at one of them.
Speaker 1: I take Sefist because he loved plays more on the
Speaker 1: right side of the field, which puts him up against
Speaker 1: Bashad Breland, who has allowed twenty of twenty three passes
Speaker 1: in his coverage to be completed. Then we go to
Speaker 1: the running backs. DeAndre Swift comes in with the C
Speaker 1: grade here. He will have to be very creative to
Speaker 1: get around the offensive line woes that we described. Fortunately,
Speaker 1: the Vikings are without there run stuffing defensive lineman Michael Pierce,
Speaker 1: so that helps even the odds a little bit. And
Speaker 1: it's why I still have a C grade on DeAndre Swift.
Speaker 1: Minnesota is allowing the third most rushing yards a hundred
Speaker 1: twenty yards per game and three rushing touchdowns so far
Speaker 1: this year. Um, where Swift helps you a lot is
Speaker 1: through the air, and he's a very good receiver. But
Speaker 1: the Vikings have only given up one receiving touchdown in
Speaker 1: the past twenty six games to a running back, so
Speaker 1: I don't even know that Swift helps you a lot
Speaker 1: here either. Jamal Williams getting almost as many carries as Swift,
Speaker 1: but he doesn't get nearly the number of snaps, and
Speaker 1: that worries me a little bit. And if this game
Speaker 1: script is upside down, does Williams get those carries? I
Speaker 1: don't think so, so I'm keeping I'm keeping him on
Speaker 1: the bench as well, even though he's running great. If
Speaker 1: you do watch Jamal Williams run dudes in NFL starting
Speaker 1: running back, he looks good. Let's go over to the
Speaker 1: Viking side of this, and I want to start with
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook because this is increasingly dicey for cook owners,
Speaker 1: who got burned last week in a big way. This
Speaker 1: one carries with it high risk, high reward. The reward,
Speaker 1: of course is the Lions. The risk is his ankle.
Speaker 1: So the presumption is that Cook is going to play
Speaker 1: in this game after a light week of work with
Speaker 1: the Vikings in practice, but we don't know that for sure.
Speaker 1: And the Vikings don't need Dalvin Cook to beat the Lions.
Speaker 1: They can win with Alexander Madison. They beat Seattle with
Speaker 1: Alexander Madison, they can beat the Lions with him. In fact,
Speaker 1: the Vikings haven't won a game with Dalvin Cook in
Speaker 1: the lineup. Not this year. No, so there's there there's
Speaker 1: reason to believe that Cook could have a diminished role.
Speaker 1: It's even a horrifying turn. It's possible he's active. You
Speaker 1: start him and the Vikings run Madison through all or
Speaker 1: most of the game and just safe Cook in case
Speaker 1: he's needed at some point. Horrifying. That would be an
Speaker 1: awful scenario. Now, obviously it's an elite matchup. If Cook
Speaker 1: starts and plays the whole game, he's the upside is
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty rushing yards and two touchdowns, but there's
Speaker 1: significant downside as well. I'm putting a B on Dalvin Cook,
Speaker 1: and you need to decide for yourself whether or not
Speaker 1: you want to absorb the risk you should reserve an
Speaker 1: E n C H two. Just attack onto that B
Speaker 1: bench and and and got it. Okay, it is It
Speaker 1: is dicey, it's super dice. But what about Madison Church?
Speaker 1: What about Madison? Well, you can't know. I don't have
Speaker 1: a starting grade on Madison because you can't know what's
Speaker 1: going to happen with Cook, and it's would be a
Speaker 1: dart throw. But I could I could be persuaded to
Speaker 1: give him a seed just because There's so many scenarios
Speaker 1: where he gets carries, even if even if Dalvin Cook
Speaker 1: starts the game, the Vicers get way out ahead garbage Town,
Speaker 1: and then just garbage time Madison at the end. So
Speaker 1: I could be convinced in fact, for you, Matt, I'll
Speaker 1: give him a well thank you. Kirk Cousins, Justin Jefferson
Speaker 1: and Adam Feeling are obvious a's and I'm not going
Speaker 1: to even belabor much here. Um, I'll mention this. Over
Speaker 1: the past five meetings, Kirk Cousins is averaging two yards
Speaker 1: and almost three touchdowns with no interceptions against the Lions.
Speaker 1: So you want part of all of his receiving options,
Speaker 1: even k J Osborne, who gets a C grade. He's
Speaker 1: the slot receiver from Minnesota. He draws A J. Parker
Speaker 1: in the slot. Parker is Pro Football focuses one hundred
Speaker 1: ranked cornerback. He's already given up two touchdowns in his coverage.
Speaker 1: And Tyler Conklin, also with a C grade tight end.
Speaker 1: Three of four Lions opponents have put up big tight
Speaker 1: end games. Conklin shouldn't have to stay in and block
Speaker 1: as much as he did last week. He scored the
Speaker 1: week before that. I think you can start him as well,
Speaker 1: Tyler Conklin. As an option for you. Also as an
Speaker 1: option for you, you you can join a guillotine league. You
Speaker 1: know how it works, no head to head matchups. Each week,
Speaker 1: the low scoring team gets cut and all the players
Speaker 1: go to the waiver wire, where it's total pandemonium for
Speaker 1: the rest of us as we bid on all of
Speaker 1: these crazy free agents. It's a roster building exercise with
Speaker 1: strategy you've never seen before. It is guillotine leagues dot com.
Speaker 1: We encourage you to check that out. Can also find
Speaker 1: all my player rankings available for free at guillotine leagues
Speaker 1: dot com. When we come back, take a chance on me.
Speaker 1: Nine players upon whom you can take a chance. Will
Speaker 1: tell you who they are when we come back, taking
Speaker 1: a chance on me. Nine players not normally a new
Speaker 1: starting lineup. Many of these guys available on the waiver wire.
Speaker 1: One of mine and well two of mine are likely
Speaker 1: on your waiver wire. We'll find out who they are
Speaker 1: in a moment. Matt, Let's begin with you. Who is
Speaker 1: your Take a chance on the quarterback. I've got Trevor Lawrence,
Speaker 1: and you know the Jaguars have seen a few distractions
Speaker 1: this week, but they're definitely back to the grind. Lawrence
Speaker 1: backed his behind into the end zone on a rushing
Speaker 1: play last week and also completed his passes in the
Speaker 1: process against Since I'd imagine the Jags players rally around
Speaker 1: Lawrence as a leader as he flew back on the
Speaker 1: team playing with them. The Titans have given up at
Speaker 1: least two five yards and multiple scores to every quarterback
Speaker 1: that they've faced that had two ankles, not Carson Wentz,
Speaker 1: but that includes two seven and two to Zach Wilson
Speaker 1: just last week. All right, you'll take a chance of me,
Speaker 1: quarterback Brian. I don't have any innuendos for this one,
Speaker 1: but I got Jacoby either. I don't know what you're
Speaker 1: talking a Jacoby Brissette of the Dolphins at Tampa Bay.
Speaker 1: The Bucks can score, and that's partially why they hold
Speaker 1: the highest opponent passing play percentage in the NFL. It's
Speaker 1: north of se Another reason is it's impossible to run.
Speaker 1: You can't run on the Tampa but they're seeing forty
Speaker 1: seven passes per game seven and the heavens again, the
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay is gonna be without three starting cornerbacks now
Speaker 1: starting a strong safety Antoine Winfield has been ruled out.
Speaker 1: I like the the matchups for the wide receivers from Miami.
Speaker 1: Will get into that a little more later. I like
Speaker 1: the matchup for Mike Gaziki. So Jacoby Brissette's gonna air
Speaker 1: it out great. Take a chance on me player this
Speaker 1: week at quarterback. Given forty seven chances anyway, Jacoby Brissette
Speaker 1: can comp at least one pass, I would hope. So
Speaker 1: my quarterback is Zack Wilson, who looked legitimately great last week,
Speaker 1: fantastic game. I think he keeps the momentum going against
Speaker 1: a very shaky Falcons defense that has yielded monster passing
Speaker 1: games to three of four opposing quarterbacks, including last week
Speaker 1: to the modest abilities of Taylor Heineke, who he mentioned
Speaker 1: in this very segment last week, Jamison Crowder positive matchup,
Speaker 1: Corey Davis positive, very positive matchup against Fabian Moreau. Zack
Speaker 1: Wilson's gonna have plenty of options when he looks around
Speaker 1: the field. Falcons are easier to pass upon than run upon.
Speaker 1: I believe that Zack Wilson is going to be a
Speaker 1: good start, and we'll see a little later if Colin
Speaker 1: mccockney or London correspondent will end up agreeing with you. Might.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the running back position. Who is your
Speaker 1: take a chance of me player? Matt I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: with Zach Wilson's teammate Michael Carter. He's really taken over
Speaker 1: as the lead back in New York thirteen carries and
Speaker 1: three targets last week. He's been in the twelve to
Speaker 1: fifteen range in total worklow since Week two. Uh. This
Speaker 1: week he gets a Falcons team that makes everyone look good.
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders, Kenny Gainwell, Leonard Fournette, se Kwon Barkley, Antonio
Speaker 1: Gibson and j D. Mckissic have all topped seventy total
Speaker 1: yards or scored against the Falcons this year. That's six
Speaker 1: running backs in four weeks. By the way, Yeah, Michael Carter,
Speaker 1: He's gonna get a solid grade in this one. Let's
Speaker 1: go to your take a chance of me Brian. Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay is Ronald Jones at the Dolphin or at home
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins. Sorry, Tom Brady has been asked to
Speaker 1: do way too much lately, and this feels like a
Speaker 1: game or Tampa Bay can really lean on the run
Speaker 1: Miami has allowed these second most rushing yards and the
Speaker 1: most rushing touchdowns to running backs. The Dolphins are also
Speaker 1: top ten in the most receptions, receiving yards, and receiving
Speaker 1: touchdowns allowed to backs. Now, I know it looks like
Speaker 1: it's Leonard Fournette as the lead back. He is the Yeah,
Speaker 1: well we've seen this before. It always goes the complete opposite.
Speaker 1: So if you want to win a million dollars playing
Speaker 1: daily sports, you're gonna have Ronald Jones running back for
Speaker 1: ust me. I know I'm gonna have him on in
Speaker 1: a few lines. Something does win the million? Is Is
Speaker 1: this a tipping situation for you? It probably is most
Speaker 1: definitely a tipping situation. D m me for my MENMO
Speaker 1: might take a chance to me. Running back is Damien
Speaker 1: Williams as he goes up against Las Vegas. He's you're
Speaker 1: starting running back with David Montgomery out in Chicago. Um,
Speaker 1: and like last week, once David mcgomery got knocked out,
Speaker 1: it was all Williams. And it's gonna be here too.
Speaker 1: I don't believe we're gonna see a lot of Khalil
Speaker 1: Herbert here. Uh. And that's Khalil groundbear ground, That's right.
Speaker 1: Khalil Groundbear, Bill Laser calling the plays. I mean, the
Speaker 1: whole Bears offensive a ton better last week. We saw
Speaker 1: Williams put up seventy yards last week and that was
Speaker 1: just in relief, So I think it's the starter. He's
Speaker 1: sitting in a nice game. The Las Vegas run defense
Speaker 1: right in the middle of the pack in most metrics,
Speaker 1: but they have a love of the second most touchdowns
Speaker 1: to running backs, six of them already. In addition, they
Speaker 1: just let the Chargers running backs catch seven passes and
Speaker 1: a touchdown through the air, and Willie Ms is a
Speaker 1: good pass catching back, So there you go. Damien Williams
Speaker 1: might take a chance of me running Matt let's go
Speaker 1: to Let's go to you. Who is your take chance
Speaker 1: for me? Receiver? I've got Alan Lazard of the Packers.
Speaker 1: With Marquees Valdez scantling out. Last week, Lazard was on
Speaker 1: the field for sev of the snaps compared to Randall
Speaker 1: Cobb at only forty six. Now, Lazard only at three
Speaker 1: targets last week and Cobbs scored. So a lot of
Speaker 1: people are probably thinking the other way around here, but
Speaker 1: I'd rather have the guy who's on the field Lazard
Speaker 1: will mostly match up against Eli Apple, who has Pro
Speaker 1: Football Focus is one and second ranked corner. If it's
Speaker 1: not Apple, it's just off the injury report. Trey Waynes,
Speaker 1: who's allowing thirty one yards per catch so far this year.
Speaker 1: Well in one game, but still yeah, and two catches.
Speaker 1: But way to massage the stats, right, That's what we do.
Speaker 1: That's what we do here, right, Brian, You'll take a
Speaker 1: chance for me. Receiver Um probably the first person in
Speaker 1: history that refuses to leave Tampa Bay. So I'm staying
Speaker 1: with this game and going with Miami's Jalen Waddle UH
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Um mentioned Tampa Bay is running out the
Speaker 1: JV squad in their entire secondary practically, and even when
Speaker 1: they had their stars in their Tampa has allowed the
Speaker 1: most catches and yards to wide receivers. They've yielded the
Speaker 1: third most red zone targets to the position. There's no
Speaker 1: surprise they've surrendered the most touchdowns too. Wide receivers in
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle is legit among players with at least thirty targets,
Speaker 1: and there aren't that many. There's like twenty of them.
Speaker 1: He has the highest catch percentage among all those players.
Speaker 1: So he can't play. And again, I like presetting this
Speaker 1: game and Waddle, we'll talk about this game more might
Speaker 1: be the number one option now at wide receiver, he
Speaker 1: may be Uh, potentially no Tavante Parker, who shaping up
Speaker 1: as a game time decision, might take a chance of
Speaker 1: the receiver Markz Callaway from the New Orleans Saints. He's
Speaker 1: the only Saints receiver who's getting more than a forty
Speaker 1: eight percent snapshare. He's at so he's on the field
Speaker 1: a lot, and he gets to exploit a Washington secondary
Speaker 1: that I thought going into the season was gonna be better.
Speaker 1: It's trash. They're getting to royd by wideouts, giving up
Speaker 1: two hundred thirty three yards per game that is third most,
Speaker 1: and Washington's seven touchdowns allowed to wide receivers is fourth most.
Speaker 1: Callaway runs from all over the field and Washington has
Speaker 1: no stoppers at any of the cornerback positions, so where
Speaker 1: every line's up, he's got a plus matchup. Marquez Callaway
Speaker 1: might take a chance on me. Wide receiver Bryan green
Speaker 1: Bay is taking on the Cincinnati Bengals. I'm sorry, Matt
Speaker 1: is taking on the Cincinnati Bengals. Uh, we already know
Speaker 1: you like Alan Lazard in this game, I have reasonab
Speaker 1: believe you probably like Aaron Rodgers as well. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: got Rogers and Adams both with A grades. The Bengals
Speaker 1: past defense has looked better on paper, only allowing two
Speaker 1: or forty seven yards per game, but when you consider
Speaker 1: they've seen Kirk Cousins, the Dalton Fields, Combo, Big Ben,
Speaker 1: and Trevor Lawrence, it's easy to see why this could
Speaker 1: be fake news. Also got Robert Tuny in with a C.
Speaker 1: Has had a red zone target in each of his
Speaker 1: first four games. That's good enough for me. The Bengals
Speaker 1: have not played a tight end as good as Tony
Speaker 1: in yet either man. Do Tonon owners need a big game? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I invested heavily this year. Aaron Jones I have a
Speaker 1: B grade. On has been on the field for six
Speaker 1: or more the snaps in the Packers three wins. While
Speaker 1: A J. Dillon did see his usage uptick last week,
Speaker 1: I'm not concerned. Jones has twenty one red zone targets
Speaker 1: plus rushing attempts this year one Dylan has two. You
Speaker 1: know that we were we we we like Aaron Jones
Speaker 1: a lot in the preseason, but we you know, we
Speaker 1: put a last trick by there, like maybe Dylan ends
Speaker 1: up getting a lot of goal line works. He's built
Speaker 1: for it, but it never worked out that. The Bengals
Speaker 1: have allowed one d and eleven combo yards to opposing backs,
Speaker 1: much of that coming through the air, which is Jones's
Speaker 1: biggest strength over Dylan on the since side. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: just start with all of their receivers now. The biggest
Speaker 1: thing here is that all Pro cornerback JayR Alexander is
Speaker 1: out and maybe gone for a long time with a
Speaker 1: shoulder injury. This upgrades basically all the wide receivers. Te Higgins,
Speaker 1: who missed last week with a shoulder injury, is going
Speaker 1: to play Sunday. Fourth year retread Isaac Yaya dum is
Speaker 1: set to take Jayre's place on the field, as the
Speaker 1: Packers are bypassing Kevin King altogether, which is probably a
Speaker 1: good move. Higgins figures to line up more on yaya
Speaker 1: dam side of the field than fellow wide receiver Jamaar Chase.
Speaker 1: Chase will line up more often than not on Eric Stokes,
Speaker 1: who's actually done all right in his coverage this year,
Speaker 1: is the Packers most targeted cornerback. He's only allowing a
Speaker 1: pass a rating of sixty point three. Still, I'm giving
Speaker 1: both Higgins and Chase A grades in this one. Higgins
Speaker 1: absence last week meant a ton of work for Tyler
Speaker 1: Boyd and c j Uzoma. Boyd saw the biggest night
Speaker 1: of his year in every category, but did not reach
Speaker 1: the end zone against the Jags, and Oozy scored twice.
Speaker 1: Boyd will line up against slot corner Chandon Sullivan, who
Speaker 1: is the lowest rated of the Packers starting corners A
Speaker 1: lot when you're lower than Kevin King. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: think I even counted Kevin King and actually having a disaster.
Speaker 1: I'll give boy to be here. I'm a little nervous
Speaker 1: that some of the targets that were vacated last week
Speaker 1: are now back to T Higgins and who's almost on
Speaker 1: the bench, he still hasn't seen a target inside the ten,
Speaker 1: so he's gonna have to break one from distance to score.
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow he gets an A since I love all
Speaker 1: of his receivers averaging two, seven and two, and I
Speaker 1: think that's Burrows floor in the game. Every quarterback not
Speaker 1: named Big Ben has had a big day against the Packers.
Speaker 1: And then there's Joe Mixon, who's been a d n
Speaker 1: P at practice all week, and he looks like he's
Speaker 1: not going to play in this one. Zach Taylor still
Speaker 1: calling him day to day, but it's looking less likely
Speaker 1: he goes with every missed practice. Soma J. P Ryan
Speaker 1: will get the start, with Chris Evans probably getting a bump.
Speaker 1: In the passing game. P Ryan has only carried the
Speaker 1: ball eight times this year and is averaging three point
Speaker 1: one yards per carry, although he did have one really
Speaker 1: good game last year in relief of Mixing, where he
Speaker 1: scored twice, but that was against the Texans and these
Speaker 1: are not the Texans. The Packers defense ranks eight in
Speaker 1: the league in comvo yards allowed right now to the position.
Speaker 1: So I think Parene Parigne's on the bench, and if
Speaker 1: mix And can go, he's just a barely a se grade.
Speaker 1: I don't think Mixing is gonna play, and if he
Speaker 1: doesn't play, I think Parrine's startable. But I don't I
Speaker 1: don't share all of your pessimism for Paride. Uh, They've
Speaker 1: they've got some other opportunities. If Paride doesn't go as well,
Speaker 1: some other running backs might factor in. But I don't
Speaker 1: think we're gonna sis in. God, that'd be so much cooler. God,
Speaker 1: football would be awesome if you everybody had a shield
Speaker 1: and could throw it and could throw it right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I did each other. That'd be fantastic. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we'll talk through the remainder if there's not much left
Speaker 1: to talk through with the Miami side of Miami against
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. But you'll find out what to expect from
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay side, specifically from Tom Brady and his
Speaker 1: wide receivers when we returned to Fantasy Football Weekly, final
Speaker 1: segment of our number one of Fantasy Football Weekly. We
Speaker 1: are a two hour show. You want to stay tuned
Speaker 1: for the second hour. Of course, Brian, you've already ruined,
Speaker 1: like every part of Miami taking on Tampa Bay, with
Speaker 1: the exception of a couple of players. Is there anybody
Speaker 1: left on the Miami side with a starting grade that
Speaker 1: you have not already mentioned? Uh? One, But they aren't
Speaker 1: the running backs, Miles Gaskin, Malcolm Brown on the back
Speaker 1: a disaster that's turned into a disaster. And it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: You just don't play running backs against Tampa Bay, especially
Speaker 1: not Miles Gaskin, especially not Miles Gaskin or Malcolm Brown.
Speaker 1: Yet Gaskin basically disappeared last week, but the broth on
Speaker 1: the bench. If Gaskin was dropped nearly, he's the guy
Speaker 1: worth grabbing and stashing. As of now, he will certainly
Speaker 1: be dropped after this week, if he hasn't been dropped already.
Speaker 1: But in like an amazing matchup, maybe he would take
Speaker 1: a chance on me kind of play. Still the best
Speaker 1: running back on that team. I'm thin he's not saying much,
Speaker 1: but he he is. But anyway, running backs on the
Speaker 1: bench for the Dolphins, and this one now, Davante Parker.
Speaker 1: I was about to give him a very strong B grade,
Speaker 1: but now he's looking like a game time decision with
Speaker 1: the hamstring injury. That the song remains the same with
Speaker 1: Parker sadly, but you know I Jalen waddles. When I
Speaker 1: take a chance on me wide receiver, he gets bumped up.
Speaker 1: If part well, he actually doesn't get bumped up. Parker misses,
Speaker 1: he gets downgraded a little bit. But the guys to
Speaker 1: keep an eye on against this ravage secondary for Tampa Bay,
Speaker 1: who's just giving up a ton to wide receivers or
Speaker 1: Preston Williams who's been inactive in favor of Albert Wilson.
Speaker 1: But that's because Albert Wilson plays special teams. He's more
Speaker 1: of the slot guy. Preston Williams feels like more of
Speaker 1: the guy to fill in for injured Vante Parker, so
Speaker 1: he'd be the dart throw and a guy you might
Speaker 1: wanted to stash and in deeper leagues of wide receiver.
Speaker 1: But assuming Parker goes, I didn't give him a SEA
Speaker 1: just because he might not finish the game. I wanted
Speaker 1: to give him a B, but again, game time decisions,
Speaker 1: So keep an eye on Parker. The last starting grade
Speaker 1: outside of Jacoby precent who might take a chance I
Speaker 1: mean quarterback, is Mike Kasicki. He gets a B. The
Speaker 1: Bucks have allowed these second most tight end receptions and
Speaker 1: touchdowns and have also yielded the yielded the most tight
Speaker 1: end targets and golden goat scenarios. Because Kaseki has seen
Speaker 1: the second most targets among tight ends over the past
Speaker 1: two weeks and his totally impressive fifteen catches for one
Speaker 1: three yards and a touchdown during that span, So I
Speaker 1: Laksicki this week against the Bucks over the Buck side
Speaker 1: starting with Tom Brady. Just to be for Brady, nine
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns in the first two weeks, just one passing
Speaker 1: touchdown over the last two weeks. Now, over his last
Speaker 1: eight games against the Dolphins, of course, this has been
Speaker 1: with the Patriots, He's only averaged two passing yards and
Speaker 1: two passing touchdowns, which is kind of what the Dolphins
Speaker 1: are allowing to opposing quarterbacks per game. So a limited
Speaker 1: sealing for Brady in this one. Again, I think they
Speaker 1: lean on the running game a little more in this
Speaker 1: So just to be for Brady against the Dolphins this
Speaker 1: week and just to be for Mike. Evans will likely
Speaker 1: be shadowed by Miami's top corner Xavian Howard, but Howard's
Speaker 1: been a little leaky over the last three weeks, allowing
Speaker 1: nearly sixty yards per game in his coverage and touchdowns guy,
Speaker 1: so a safe b for Evans. There is still a
Speaker 1: upside for Evans, uh, the same ghost for Chris Godwin.
Speaker 1: Just didn't give him a be though. I don't think
Speaker 1: Tampa throws a ton in this game. He hasn't seen
Speaker 1: a ton of targets, but draws a big mismatch against
Speaker 1: slot corner Justin Coleman, who is allowing a completion rate
Speaker 1: in his coverage, and uh Antonio Brown, he gets a
Speaker 1: ce uh to close out the wide receivers for Tampa Bay. Again,
Speaker 1: I think Xavian Howard spends more time on Evans and
Speaker 1: Miami has allowed a wide receiver touchdown in three or
Speaker 1: four games. So you can start Antonio Brown with the
Speaker 1: c and you can start Cameron Braid as well. Can
Speaker 1: give him to see Rob Gronkowski will miss this game
Speaker 1: with the rib rib injuries. Miami is allowing more than
Speaker 1: five catches and fifty five yards per game to tight
Speaker 1: ends and wooting three total touchdowns on the season. And lastly,
Speaker 1: for the Bucks at running back, I'll put a be
Speaker 1: on Leonard four net already said Ronald Jones might take
Speaker 1: a chance of me running back. He's playing second fiddle
Speaker 1: the Leonard four net. That's never been clear though it
Speaker 1: comes to Tampa Bay running backs. But it's an amazing matchup.
Speaker 1: The Dolphins have basically given up the most of everything
Speaker 1: to running back so far, everything this year. And uh
Speaker 1: Geo Bernard might play, but I'm leaning towards no. But
Speaker 1: even if he does not much of a factor, he's
Speaker 1: on the bench, but b F four net and Jones
Speaker 1: was might take com running back New Orleans ticket takes
Speaker 1: on Washington, and we'll start with Alvin Camaro, who earns
Speaker 1: an A grade but barely. He's getting just He's just
Speaker 1: averaging three point eight yards per carry, which is low
Speaker 1: and troublingly, the high value touches are a concern. He's
Speaker 1: turned four carries from inside the ten into two yards
Speaker 1: and no touchdowns. That's gross, that's not good. And then
Speaker 1: there's Taysom Hill and Jamis Winston who have rushed in
Speaker 1: six times from inside the ten forty two yards and
Speaker 1: four scores. That's bad news for Kimera is it? Here's
Speaker 1: tough question number minus one? Is it time to trade
Speaker 1: Alvin Kmara? It might be there's a there's this is
Speaker 1: a if this is going to continue? The answer is yes,
Speaker 1: because he's still regarded as a top five running back.
Speaker 1: But if he's not going to get these easy touchdowns
Speaker 1: and he's still getting the workload right now the world,
Speaker 1: that's right, um and Washington has given up the most
Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns to running backs five Tony Jones is injured,
Speaker 1: so the workload is going to be there. Um I
Speaker 1: just I still I still like him, and I still
Speaker 1: think he's still gets an A grade here, But I
Speaker 1: did I played with putting him at B. Let's go
Speaker 1: to Jamis Winston, who gets a C grade. Ultra a
Speaker 1: low volume for Jamis Winston like leather helmet era volume.
Speaker 1: He has been between twenty and twenty three passes in
Speaker 1: every game this year. That's it. They're minimizing the mistakes
Speaker 1: there and everything else can come with Jamis Winston. Patrick Mahomes,
Speaker 1: even Patrick Mahomes could not fill out a box score
Speaker 1: on twenty to twenty three passes. But the Washington secondary
Speaker 1: is so bad right now, Winston probably finds his way
Speaker 1: to a decent game. Washington's allowed eight passing touchdowns in
Speaker 1: the last two weeks, and on the season, the average
Speaker 1: game against Washington is three hundred seven yards and two
Speaker 1: and a half passing touchdowns. You figure Winston cobbles his
Speaker 1: way to like to and one or two passing touchdowns
Speaker 1: and that gets him a C grade. Marquez Callaway was
Speaker 1: might take a chance of the wide receiver Deonta Harris
Speaker 1: factors in is a plausible dart throw as well. He
Speaker 1: gets a much smaller snap count than Marquez Callaway, but
Speaker 1: Deanta Harris actually has more targets, more receptions, and more
Speaker 1: receiving yards than Callaway, so he has a He's a
Speaker 1: dart throw here with the C grade as well. Let's
Speaker 1: go over to the Washington side. Washington's best offensive lineman,
Speaker 1: Brandon Sheriff out for this game. That is a sizeable
Speaker 1: loss and will factor that into our bench grade. On
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson, I'm with you on this. On Friday, he
Speaker 1: disclosed that he's got a stress fracture in his shin
Speaker 1: as a you know, and that's not good for a
Speaker 1: running back. It's not good for anyone or or anybody else.
Speaker 1: Nor is the matchup. By the way, um he remember
Speaker 1: he gets virtually no receiving work. J. D. Mckissic is
Speaker 1: getting almost all of that, and so that means Gibson
Speaker 1: is really just a two down bruiser against arguably the
Speaker 1: best run defense in the NFL with a bad shin,
Speaker 1: with a bad schin New Orleans is Pro Football focuses
Speaker 1: top ranked run defense. They're giving a fifty one rushing
Speaker 1: yards per game two running backs Aaron Jones. And if
Speaker 1: you think Antonio Gibson's too good to fail. Aaron Jones,
Speaker 1: Damien Harris, on s Kwon Barkley, good running backs have
Speaker 1: combined to average twenty five rushing yards ends the Saints
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson on the bench. J D mckissic, on the
Speaker 1: other hand, can get it done through the air. The
Speaker 1: Saints giving up receiving stat lines, has given up receiving
Speaker 1: stat lines of five catches seventy four yards and a
Speaker 1: touchdown to say Juan Barkley, five catches sixty five yards
Speaker 1: to Christian McCaffrey. So I think I think j D
Speaker 1: mckissic is gonna get you in that five and fifty range.
Speaker 1: Maybe ends up finding his way to the end zone,
Speaker 1: and with Antonio Gibson hobbled, mckissic likely get gets a
Speaker 1: few little extra running work here as well. So a
Speaker 1: B grade on j D. Mckissic. Let's go to the
Speaker 1: passing game. Taylor Heineke gets a C grade. He's he's plucky,
Speaker 1: and he goes up against a bizarrely inconsistent Saints secondary.
Speaker 1: The Saints handled Aaron Rodgers and Mac Jones and gave
Speaker 1: up big games to Sam Donald and allowed Daniel Jones
Speaker 1: there for four hundred yards. Last week, so a little
Speaker 1: bit hard to know which version you're gonna get. Four
Speaker 1: Sinel Heineke's kind of matchup proof. He scored multiple touchdowns
Speaker 1: and all three of US starts, and his scrambling ability
Speaker 1: gives Heineke a little bit extra cushion in there. So
Speaker 1: a C grade for Heineke. His best and top receiver,
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin, is an obvious, a totally match up. I'm
Speaker 1: not worried about his matchup anyway. Saints are allowing the
Speaker 1: six multi yards to receivers. He's an A grade. Curtis
Speaker 1: Samuel comes in with a C grade. I think he
Speaker 1: gets an uptick in usage after running just twenty five
Speaker 1: plays last week. Coming off I r somebody's got to
Speaker 1: run the Logan Thomas middle of the field routes. I
Speaker 1: think that's going to be Curtis Samuel in that game.
Speaker 1: He ranent of his snaps from the slot last week,
Speaker 1: and that will put him up against Chauncey Gardner Johnson,
Speaker 1: a middle of the pack corner who can be beaten.
Speaker 1: So we'll give a C grade to Curtis Samuel in
Speaker 1: this game. Our final matchup Tennessee taking on the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Speaker 1: We know Julio Jones has been ruled out of this game.
Speaker 1: A J. Brown's gonna play in this game game, but
Speaker 1: I still have to believe we're gonna get a heavy
Speaker 1: dose of a potential fantasy ard vark you know it.
Speaker 1: And Derrick Henry here he is. We mess each other up.
Speaker 1: There we go, there we go. There's our fantasy r
Speaker 1: that's him, Derrick Henry. He's the art vark for sure.
Speaker 1: Uh that that's two a's in art Vark. By the way,
Speaker 1: it's a double A grade. H A J. Brown. We
Speaker 1: talked about that. He's a full participant in practice. He's
Speaker 1: going to return. Julio Jones will not play. Brown floats
Speaker 1: around a bit between the outside and the slot. If
Speaker 1: he's on the outside, he will likely line up with
Speaker 1: Jags top corner Shack Griffin, currently rated as pro football
Speaker 1: focuses number sixty two cornerback. If he rolls to the slot,
Speaker 1: he gets Trey Herndon, who's coming in and basically last
Speaker 1: place and ProFootball focus. So Brown is an A grade.
Speaker 1: Chester Rogers is even worth a dart throw, as he
Speaker 1: does almost all his work from the slot. When he's
Speaker 1: on the field, so he gets Tray Herndon the most,
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill. He gets an A grade. Three straight quarterbacks
Speaker 1: to face the Jaguars have topped the three yard mark,
Speaker 1: and three of the four quarterbacks they've faced have thrown
Speaker 1: for multiple scores. Trevor Lawrence was might take a chance
Speaker 1: on me quarterback. His receiver's Laviska Chanlt. He gets a
Speaker 1: B grade. He lines up in the slot eight three
Speaker 1: percent of the time. That's where he'll face Chris Jackson
Speaker 1: mostly who's given up a passer rating of one oh
Speaker 1: four on the season so far. Christian Kirk, Freddie Swain,
Speaker 1: and Jamison Crowder have all scored from the slot against
Speaker 1: Tennessee so far this season. Like Nult's chances to do
Speaker 1: the same Marvin Jones. He even gets a C grade.
Speaker 1: And this one he'll go against Jack Rabbit Jenkins for
Speaker 1: the most part. He's cooked, by the way, yeah, allowing
Speaker 1: a passer rating of one oh seven. If he loves
Speaker 1: over to the other no, probably not. Maybe Jack Rabbit Jerky,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah. Uh. If he moves to the
Speaker 1: other side, he gets Christian Fulton. It's Jackrabbit Jenkins. Can
Speaker 1: we call him jack Rabbit? Yeah? We can't all right,
Speaker 1: that's actually dubbed a name change. Christian Fulton's allowed two
Speaker 1: touchdowns in his coverage so far. So Jones gets the sea.
Speaker 1: Last guy, James Robinson, he gets a B grade. Was
Speaker 1: on the field for almost every snap last week and
Speaker 1: has now commanded twenty one and twenty touches in the
Speaker 1: last two weeks. The Titans have given up a touchdown
Speaker 1: to a running back in three straight games, including two
Speaker 1: to Bell Cow Chris Carson in Week two. It's worth
Speaker 1: noting that no back has topped sixty five yards on
Speaker 1: the ground this year against the Titans, though, so the
Speaker 1: touchdowns will be there. But it's so easy to pass
Speaker 1: on the Titans that people don't usually run against them.
Speaker 1: I like Trevor Lawrence and the running that we saw. Yeah,
Speaker 1: last time we saw Trevor Lawrence. I have him, yeah
Speaker 1: if if I want them to keep running him. Design runs,
Speaker 1: not scrambles. The design runs we saw. He's not Lamar Jackson,
Speaker 1: but he's but he he really is fleet of foot,
Speaker 1: and I think they can they can do some things
Speaker 1: with him on the ground. I want them to continue
Speaker 1: doing that. Quite fat um Thursday. Last Thursday night, we
Speaker 1: saw Robert Woods come back to prominence in the Rams offense. Brian,
Speaker 1: do you believe Robert Woods is back as a reliable
Speaker 1: starter now or do you think that was just a
Speaker 1: one game matchup? Fluke, it's a bad secondary. I believe
Speaker 1: he was finally invited to the breakfast table. That is
Speaker 1: what That's what happened, right. Uh No, he's not old
Speaker 1: enough to have fallen off the cliff like we had appeared,
Speaker 1: had appeared he had fallen off. No, he looked great,
Speaker 1: and uh no, I'm it's probably the window was slam shut.
Speaker 1: You buy him incredibly low, Robert Woods, that is, but
Speaker 1: I'm still buying. I'm very bullish on Bobby Trees. He's
Speaker 1: coming back big. Yeah. I still like that whole passing offense.
Speaker 1: And there's just so many good receiving options including Higbee
Speaker 1: and Van Jefferson and DeShawn Jackson that some some games
Speaker 1: your favorite receiver is just not going to get the
Speaker 1: ball as much as you want. Unfortunately, it just means
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford is going to always be the best. But
Speaker 1: that that's right. He's gonna be super reliable that way.

Speaker 1: our number two Fantasy football weekly. I'm Paul Charchie and
Speaker 1: my co host or Brian Johnson from Guillotine Leagues dot
Speaker 1: com and Matt Harrison Shock Fantasy dot Com. Yes, this
Speaker 1: is a game we call three tough questions. I will
Speaker 1: pepper my host with well three tough questions, and you
Speaker 1: will play. Not just a clever name, No, it's it's
Speaker 1: a very literal name. We should probably come up with
Speaker 1: a more clever name for this bit that don't involve
Speaker 1: like hot questions. It's not that's not particularly clever at all.
Speaker 1: Tough question number one, cor Darryl Patterson has been found money.
Speaker 1: Are you selling high or you holding tight? Matt Um.
Speaker 1: Everyone is trying to sell high on cor Darryl Patterson
Speaker 1: right now, and I'm not sure that he's a guy
Speaker 1: that you can sell for a regular priced starter right now.
Speaker 1: The Falcon's offense is a mess outside of him. Basically
Speaker 1: every other Falcon has been a massive disappointment this season. Still,
Speaker 1: they're not going to double cover him out of the
Speaker 1: backfield and leave Calvin Ridley or Kyle Pitt's open, So
Speaker 1: I would hold tight. He's going to be startable in
Speaker 1: several instances, and I have reason to believe that Colin
Speaker 1: mccockney is probably going to give him a very good
Speaker 1: grade this weekend against the Jets. You may have already
Speaker 1: talked to Colin in the Green about this, Brian Cardal Patterson,
Speaker 1: are you selling high or holding tight? One of the
Speaker 1: most fascinating storylines and the history of fantasy football unfolding
Speaker 1: before our eyes right now. And now you call them
Speaker 1: found money, which he is in, um, you know, standard leagues,
Speaker 1: but I think of like the big best ball tournaments
Speaker 1: on underdog DraftKings, you know, ones that wrapped up before
Speaker 1: the season started. He was under ten percent easily, and
Speaker 1: this guy is just killing it. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: Last week he played of the snaps, saw eleven opportunities,
Speaker 1: scored three times. It's a little flukey. It's he's not
Speaker 1: gonna get bell Cow usage. I'm I'm gonna try and
Speaker 1: sell high on CP eight four right now. But I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be shocked if he keeps it up. But I
Speaker 1: would go out, go shop and see what I can
Speaker 1: get for him right now. Secretly, this is a Mike
Speaker 1: Davis question. Davis is not getting it done. I don't
Speaker 1: need to tell you guys that Next Gen Stats has
Speaker 1: him with the league's worst rush yards over expectation. Care
Speaker 1: to guess how many rush his average rushing yards on
Speaker 1: a given carry. Rushing yards over expectation? Would you care
Speaker 1: to guess over or is it a negative number? Negative
Speaker 1: one point two yards? He's under expectations. We expect you
Speaker 1: to go for and you're going two point eight exactly
Speaker 1: exactly Mike Davish. Yep. How Falcon's head coach Arthur Smith
Speaker 1: unleashing core Darrell Patterson is both a receiver and a runner.
Speaker 1: He's running the ball better at four and a half
Speaker 1: yards per carry. That's almost a yard and half better
Speaker 1: than Davis. He ranks. Patterson ranks as Pro Football Focuses
Speaker 1: number two receiving running back in the league, behind only
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey. Now Patterson is never gonna be a workhorse runner.
Speaker 1: Arthur Smith is not going to turn him into Derrick Henry, right,
Speaker 1: But why wouldn't he keep at least the current usage going,
Speaker 1: and you know he's gonna catch a bunch of passes.
Speaker 1: He'll chip in these extra rushing ards and Mike Davis
Speaker 1: simply isn't requisitive getting workhorse numbers. So you know Patterson's
Speaker 1: gonna keep getting this Now. To Brian's point, it won't
Speaker 1: all turn into touchdowns, and that's a lot of what's
Speaker 1: propelling him here with the five touchdowns so far. But still,
Speaker 1: these kinds, this kind of found money doesn't come around often,
Speaker 1: and you may as well keep what you got, tough.
Speaker 1: Question number two, are you buying low on Allen Robinson
Speaker 1: or you're just glad you don't have him? Brian? The
Speaker 1: quarterbacking has been awful for a rob this year between
Speaker 1: Dalton and Justin Fields getting his feet wet, but that's
Speaker 1: been the story for a Rob's whole career. He's never
Speaker 1: had a good quarterback and he didn't really use that
Speaker 1: as an excuse, but you still sort of ken, I'm
Speaker 1: buying low on Alan Robbinson, one of the still one
Speaker 1: of the premier talented wide receiver. He dropped a touchdown
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago that would have patted his numbers
Speaker 1: a little more. Only saw three targets from Fields last week,
Speaker 1: but he caught all three for sixty plus yards, So
Speaker 1: give him eight targets. That's over a hundred yards. I
Speaker 1: don't know there were some dots connected between Fields and
Speaker 1: a rob last week. I think that chemistry only grows.
Speaker 1: Feel certainly was looking Darnell Mooney's way a whole lot more.
Speaker 1: But Robinson is still the better talent. I think Field
Speaker 1: will lean on him more and more each week as
Speaker 1: his rookie season progresses. So so I am buying low
Speaker 1: on Allen Robinson. All right, Matt, are you buying low
Speaker 1: and Allen Robinson? Are you just glad you don't have them?
Speaker 1: I'm buying low as well as target totals of four, six,
Speaker 1: and three in the games that Fields has played are
Speaker 1: kind of concerning compared to Darnell Mooneys eight, four and
Speaker 1: seven targets. In the one game that Andy Dalton started
Speaker 1: and finished, Robinson had eleven targets, so obviously he felt
Speaker 1: a little more comfortable with Andy Dalton. M center. Honestly,
Speaker 1: that was part of the reason I asked this question. Yeah. Um.
Speaker 1: The biggest concern though, is the offensive line just being
Speaker 1: one of the worst in the in the league. But
Speaker 1: with those concerns, it comes a buying opportunity because the
Speaker 1: schedule is bad for the Bears. Over the next month
Speaker 1: they have a couple of really really good teams that
Speaker 1: are stoppers. But after their bye week it's wide open,
Speaker 1: and Justin Fields might actually now have the confidence feel
Speaker 1: comfortable in the pocket. And I think that there's going
Speaker 1: to be a couple more by low opportunities for Allen Robinson.
Speaker 1: But it's a good time to do it. So really
Speaker 1: what you want to do is buy a low, but
Speaker 1: not yet. Later I might. I might wait a week
Speaker 1: or two and buy low. It might get worse. The
Speaker 1: correct answer is by low. Although I do like what
Speaker 1: you're talking about with the schedule, maybe I'll buy a
Speaker 1: low later, but we're gonna buy low Robinson even now
Speaker 1: he's in a contract year, let's remember, so he's highly motivated.
Speaker 1: Fields is going to get better in all probability. And
Speaker 1: I went back and watch all the Fields has passes
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, just to really get a
Speaker 1: better sense of of how he's looked as a as
Speaker 1: a bear. His downfield passing is so good, oh man,
Speaker 1: it's it's uncanny for a kid with this little experience
Speaker 1: to be nailing his thirty and forty and fifty yard passes.
Speaker 1: Very promising, and if you can unlockdown field passing, that
Speaker 1: can be huge for Robinson, who's been in this like
Speaker 1: middling nine yard range for average target distance, which is
Speaker 1: like right in the middle of the field. If you
Speaker 1: can get If you can get Robinson down field more
Speaker 1: often and open and have a guy who can deliver
Speaker 1: them the ball, there could be some scary things there.
Speaker 1: And let's you remember, Alan Robinson is really good. Nobody's
Speaker 1: even mentioned that yet. He gets separation, He has a
Speaker 1: lead hands, the footwork, the contested catches. We're gonna buy
Speaker 1: low on Allen Robinson. Tough Question number three, what is
Speaker 1: the appropriate level of concern for Miles Sanders owners? None?
Speaker 1: Some or a bowl loosening level of existential dread? Matt,
Speaker 1: we begin with you. It's blowed load. It's a new
Speaker 1: coaching staff in Philly. They have no particular loyalty to Sanders.
Speaker 1: It's starting to show at the emergence of Kenny Gainwell.
Speaker 1: Gainwell hasn't taken over on the touch totals, but they've
Speaker 1: essentially split those over the last two games, but he's
Speaker 1: looked like the more dynamic back, especially as a pass catcher.
Speaker 1: Gainewells also two touchdowns the Sanders big fat zero on
Speaker 1: the season. At the minimum, this seems like a split backfield.
Speaker 1: If you want to get more dramatic Hurts is probably
Speaker 1: stealing some rushing touches as well. So I don't want
Speaker 1: anything to do with Miles Sanders right now, Brian, what
Speaker 1: is the appropriate level of panic for Miles Sanders owners
Speaker 1: some or blowed? You gotta be full on blowed if
Speaker 1: you're a manager of Miles Sanders, especially based on the
Speaker 1: preseason a DP. I will take this opportunity. I don't
Speaker 1: have much to add on top of what Matt said
Speaker 1: other than I deserve a peacock for Kenneth Gamewell, my
Speaker 1: last sleeper of the preseason. So you're very welcome if
Speaker 1: you went out and grab Kenneth game Will. But yeah,
Speaker 1: full on blowed for Miles Sanders. By the way, Kenneth
Speaker 1: game Will leads the Eagles in red zone targets among
Speaker 1: all wide receivers tell you ends tight ends. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: says a lot in that often incredible. Uh. The correct
Speaker 1: answer is a bowl loosening level of existential dread because
Speaker 1: he's an elite blocker. Miles Sanders is in the game
Speaker 1: a lot, and if you look at his snap counts
Speaker 1: are really high. But he's coming off games of two
Speaker 1: carries and seven carries. That's all they're asking him to
Speaker 1: do full back. Now. Uh. We talked about the yards
Speaker 1: over expectation and how Mike Davis was actually yards under expectation.
Speaker 1: You know who else's yards under expectation. Miles Sanders half
Speaker 1: a yard under expectation. New coaching staffs have very little
Speaker 1: allegiance to the guys who are already there, and a
Speaker 1: lot of allegiance to the guys they just drafted that
Speaker 1: they've got their own fingerprints on. And that's Kenneth Gainwell,
Speaker 1: who grades out better than Miles Sanders in many respects
Speaker 1: by Pro Football Focus. I think if you're a Miles
Speaker 1: Sanders owner, we're we're to the point now where how
Speaker 1: do you start him? And probably not? This week let's
Speaker 1: find out the Eagles take on the Carolina Panthers. This
Speaker 1: was a great run defense for three weeks and then
Speaker 1: they got shredded by Zeke. What do you make of
Speaker 1: this matchup for the running backs for the Eagles, Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Panthers is I'm sorry. The Cowboys just ran through
Speaker 1: the Panthers like you said, but I don't like the
Speaker 1: prospects for the Eagles backs. I got Sanders on the
Speaker 1: bench and a C for Kenneth Gamwell, who's the premier
Speaker 1: pass catching back on the team, and the preferred option
Speaker 1: in the red zone for for Jalen Hurts among all players.
Speaker 1: Lots of issues on the old line for UH Philly.
Speaker 1: Right tackle Lane Johnson has been ruled out. They're already
Speaker 1: down there starting left guard and starting right guard. I
Speaker 1: think starting left tackle jordansta will play. He's gonna play.
Speaker 1: Johnson will not play. Just too many issues, and after
Speaker 1: Sanders game last week, I don't know how you could
Speaker 1: trust him in your starting lineup. He's on the bench
Speaker 1: and Kenneth game will a C and PPR, but in
Speaker 1: standard he'd be on the bench for me as well.
Speaker 1: Uh Dallas Goddard not on the bench though, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give him a B. The Cowboys tight ends just exposed
Speaker 1: Carolina for seven catches, seventy six yards and two touchdowns
Speaker 1: last week. It's certainly feasible that Goddard can produce here,
Speaker 1: and so could zach Ertz. To give him a seat
Speaker 1: just because he's still alive and plays tight end. Uh,
Speaker 1: DeVante Smith I like him this week. Some people don't,
Speaker 1: but I do. I'm giving him a b. Smith his
Speaker 1: top ten in airy yards among all players. They throw
Speaker 1: him deep all the time, caught seven of ten targets
Speaker 1: last week. The Panthers have allowed five wide receiver touchdowns
Speaker 1: in four games, and clear cut opposing number one wide
Speaker 1: receivers who are like the only option on the team
Speaker 1: like Corey Davis and Brandon Cooks, both at big days
Speaker 1: against Carolina, So I think Devonte Smith has that opportunity now.
Speaker 1: Jalen Reagor and Quiz Watkins, one of them is likely
Speaker 1: to score here. Like I said, Carolina has allowed five
Speaker 1: wide receiver touchdowns over the last four GAMESA Marii Cooper
Speaker 1: and Cedric Wilson both scored for UM Dallas last week.
Speaker 1: But I just don't know who's going to be between
Speaker 1: Reagor and Watkins, so I got got them both on
Speaker 1: the bench this week. Those are outside receivers, so maybe
Speaker 1: it's more of a reagor game. You know the problem
Speaker 1: with Watkins is it's like three targets a game. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so man, if he doesn't come up big, you get nothing.
Speaker 1: They're both daily darts for me, I can I can't
Speaker 1: trust either in seasonal formats, so they're both on the bench.
Speaker 1: I do trust Jalen Hurts. Those still going to give
Speaker 1: him a B. The Panthers have faced garbage quarterbacks this
Speaker 1: year outside of Dak Prescott, who threw for four touchdowns
Speaker 1: on just twenty two pass attempts last year, and Dak
Speaker 1: also ran for thirty five yards. He's not really considered
Speaker 1: as mobile as he used to shop. He's not as
Speaker 1: mobile as he used to be. And speaking of mobile
Speaker 1: mobile quarterbacks, Hurts is the only true mobile quarterback the
Speaker 1: Panthers have faced since the start of last year, and
Speaker 1: that's only outside of Kyler Murray, who they played last season.
Speaker 1: He ran for seventy eight yards. Hurts his rushing floor
Speaker 1: just makes him so safe with massive upside, So an
Speaker 1: easy b for Jalen Hurts and staying on the rushing
Speaker 1: quarterbacks tip going over to the Carolina side, Cam Donald,
Speaker 1: you are you referring to the Sam Donald who leads
Speaker 1: the NFL and rushing touchdowns, not leads the NFL quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: but leads all NFL players and rushing touchdowns, Like you
Speaker 1: said with five, have a big old B for Sam.
Speaker 1: The rushing has obviously helped him maintain the status of
Speaker 1: Fantasy football's number two scoring quarterback, but he could keep
Speaker 1: on piling up the points against Philly, who was allowed
Speaker 1: eight passing touchdowns over the last two weeks. A B
Speaker 1: for Donald with a upside and speaking of a upside,
Speaker 1: DJ more easy A for him averaging nearly eleven targets,
Speaker 1: eight catches, and one hundred yards per game. He's also
Speaker 1: scored three times already, just four touchdowns last year, has
Speaker 1: three touchdowns already this year. He's not Tyree Kill just yet,
Speaker 1: but we all saw a Tyree Kill did to Philly
Speaker 1: last week three touchdowns and post yards. Just give DJ
Speaker 1: more half of that and we'll be happy and he'll
Speaker 1: live up to that A grade and Robby Anderson not
Speaker 1: getting in A not getting a B by I am
Speaker 1: gonna give him a CE. Just ten catches all season,
Speaker 1: but half of them came last week, So that's encouraging
Speaker 1: saw Levin targets. It's a decent matchup. I'm not giving
Speaker 1: up on Robby Anderson just yet. A C for him. Sadly,
Speaker 1: we cannot talk about Dan Arnold that tight end. I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna talk about Tommy Trump either, So I got
Speaker 1: the tight ends on the bench for Carolina. Christian McCaffrey downgraded.
Speaker 1: It's a doubtful on Friday. Thankfully, I don't think they
Speaker 1: needed him to play this week, so I'll give Cuba
Speaker 1: Hubbard the sea. I'm gonna quote U Team Leagues writer
Speaker 1: Brian jurch I got it right this time. Eagles are
Speaker 1: quite friendly the running backs, flowing the fifth most rushing
Speaker 1: yards and ninth most touchdown touchdowns, resulting in pffsty ranked
Speaker 1: run defense. This has become especially true after the injury
Speaker 1: to safety Cavan Wallace early in Week three. In those
Speaker 1: nearly two games since the defense has surrendered three rushing scores.
Speaker 1: The Eagles deep inside is a beat for Tuba Hubbard. Alright, outstanding? Hey,
Speaker 1: Sam Donald's new name, Sam Newton. I mean he's a
Speaker 1: rushing quarterback. Maybe all right, I don't know. I want
Speaker 1: to believe those two have very little in common when
Speaker 1: we come back, it feels like it's start all your
Speaker 1: Patriots against the Houston Texans, But I'm gonna give you
Speaker 1: four reasons to think twice. When we return to Fantasy
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. It's Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charchi and Brian
Speaker 1: Johnson and Matt Harrison with you. The New England Patriots
Speaker 1: travel to Houston. And at the beginning of the week,
Speaker 1: when I started working on this matchup, it was start everybody,
Speaker 1: and then as the week went on, like, oh boy,
Speaker 1: Trent Brown offensive lineman, Trent Brown out, Chack Mason out,
Speaker 1: Isaiah Winn and Mike on when New covid. Now there's
Speaker 1: still a slim chance that win or and No WO
Speaker 1: could get the second negative that they need before game time,
Speaker 1: But right now it appears that they will not play
Speaker 1: and the Patriots will have one starting offensive lineman in
Speaker 1: the game. So I'm kind of down on everybody, even
Speaker 1: in a positive matchup. Let's start with Damien Harris, who
Speaker 1: I was very excited for a big bounce back performance
Speaker 1: after a couple of very difficult matchups. Texans allowing the
Speaker 1: fifth most rushing yards per game five yards per carry,
Speaker 1: and Harris has been getting plenty of workload and he's
Speaker 1: not involved in the passing game. But you knew that
Speaker 1: when you drafted him. Not a big deal that way.
Speaker 1: I liked him, but now I can only give him
Speaker 1: a C grade based and I'm missing four of his
Speaker 1: offensive linemen. Let's go to the passing side of it.
Speaker 1: Mac Jones gets a C grade. He's coming off his
Speaker 1: best game. Now he gets his easiest defense in the
Speaker 1: entire year. Houston Texans have allowed three hundred passing yards
Speaker 1: and or multiple touchdowns to every opposing running back. Matt
Speaker 1: Jones receivers have plus matchups. I'll talk about them in
Speaker 1: a minute. Houston opponents generally get ahead early and run
Speaker 1: the ball, so I don't think mac Jones is gonna
Speaker 1: like fill your box score, but as a second quarterback,
Speaker 1: you could probably do worse than mac Jones should find
Speaker 1: his way to an okay game here see grade on
Speaker 1: mac Jones C grade and Jacoby Myers. Lots of targets.
Speaker 1: He's getting ten per game. He's the clear number one
Speaker 1: receiver for the Patriots. Back to back strong PPR games
Speaker 1: him as well. He just hasn't found the end zone
Speaker 1: yet ever or ever did career. He's in there I
Speaker 1: did not know that it's never found the career opposing
Speaker 1: top receivers, though, in fact, I'm gonna call it right here,
Speaker 1: posing top receivers are the ones who post the big
Speaker 1: games against Houston. Stefon Diggs, d J. Moore, Marvin Jones
Speaker 1: all big games against Houston. I've only got a C
Speaker 1: grade the touchdown now, but I would not surprise me
Speaker 1: if he has it. And again, if the four linemen
Speaker 1: were there, it would be a totally different story. But
Speaker 1: I'm very worried about that. Hunter Henry and John new Smith,
Speaker 1: the originally had C grades on, but I gotta put
Speaker 1: him on the bench because they're gonna have to stay
Speaker 1: back and block. Now. I'll mention though Houston's allowing the
Speaker 1: fourth most tight end yards and the second most then touchdowns,
Speaker 1: so the opportunity is still juicy for those guys. But
Speaker 1: I'm just worried they're gonna be blocking in this game.
Speaker 1: At least still be on the field a lot. There's
Speaker 1: that the opportunities might be there. All right, let's go
Speaker 1: to the Houston side. But there's only one player you
Speaker 1: care about, and that's Brandon Cooks. Davis Mills totally unraveled,
Speaker 1: last week brutal game, Cooks finally had the bad game
Speaker 1: that went with it. And I can't tell you that
Speaker 1: David's Mills is gonna be any better against Bill Belichick
Speaker 1: than he was last week. So do you start Cooks? Well?
Speaker 1: Throughout his entire career, Cooks has found ways to good
Speaker 1: box scores no matter what team he's playing for Beaux
Speaker 1: now in his fourth team, no matter who the quarterback is,
Speaker 1: He's had a dozen different quarterbacks, no matter what the
Speaker 1: defense is, more often than not, Brandon Cooks finds his
Speaker 1: way to a decent box score. So I'm keeping a
Speaker 1: C grade on bad Brandon Cooks. But that's it, and
Speaker 1: you're not starting anybody else. The running backs are all
Speaker 1: out Johnson. David Johnson's only one you can even consider
Speaker 1: starting in an uglee time share. But New England is
Speaker 1: not a bad run defense anyway, so why would you?
Speaker 1: And Alvin Cameron needed twenty four carries to get to
Speaker 1: just eighty nine yards against the Patriots, and nobody in
Speaker 1: this group is gonna get anywhere near twenty four carries
Speaker 1: in this game, so none of them. We're not going
Speaker 1: to start any of those now the moment many of
Speaker 1: you have been waiting for. Oh, should I go get him?
Speaker 1: Will you go get Colin mccockney, our London correspondent out
Speaker 1: of the green room. Now Colin has many of you
Speaker 1: know from years past, joins this show when there are
Speaker 1: London games and will help break down the matchup from
Speaker 1: a London all right, I have to uh for this.
Speaker 1: You are the official Colin mccockney translator. Best. I am
Speaker 1: back in the old US. Can you Adam and Eva
Speaker 1: chach in a bare are yeal Dukies battle in the
Speaker 1: smoke on day's darning. Let's take a butcher's hook at
Speaker 1: may West. He just said a pair of number two's
Speaker 1: face off at quarterback and onedon on Sunday morning. I
Speaker 1: think he's saw about the jersey number and not calling
Speaker 1: pieces of poop. So here are collins favorite players. Guy
Speaker 1: scraps Wilson was Chachian's basin of gravy. Look at his
Speaker 1: barnet fair. Zach Wilson was charges take a chance on
Speaker 1: me quarterback. He has nice also known as my basin
Speaker 1: of gravy. Yeah, I don't know who they both had,
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson and Paul. I don't know which one. Uh,
Speaker 1: Mcockney was talking about there, but both boy Mikey Carter
Speaker 1: was arrisonce Penny, come quick, let's raise a pimple and blotch.
Speaker 1: Carter was Matt's take a chance on me running back.
Speaker 1: He also said something about drinking scotch there, which I
Speaker 1: need right now badly. Oh, Corey and Crowd are they
Speaker 1: full of honey? Take it to the rattle and clank.
Speaker 1: Fabio moron will tic Tac Davis, he's weeping and whale
Speaker 1: into one thirty four. Davis and Crowd are both getting
Speaker 1: B grades from Colin. Davis gets Fabian Moreau on the outside,
Speaker 1: who's allowing a passer rating of one thirty four in
Speaker 1: his coverage. Crowder gets the sugar basin t J mean
Speaker 1: he's Scotch missed because he's about to be short a sheet.
Speaker 1: Crowder gets uh t J. Green in the slot, who's
Speaker 1: allowed an eighty two percent catch rate two scores in
Speaker 1: a rating of one in his coverage. Falcon's peak is
Speaker 1: once a week, So let's get a lump of ice
Speaker 1: on Maddie events in Price Near and Far. He's a
Speaker 1: la mode to seventy five and three for you. That
Speaker 1: Ryan gets a c averaging two seventy five yards and
Speaker 1: almost three scores per game over the last three weeks.
Speaker 1: Stone is two D seventy five Colin, Can you help
Speaker 1: me with that? No? Okay, Jets defense is no give
Speaker 1: and take, specially over the Fisherman's Daughter. The Jets are
Speaker 1: strangely kind of a good past defense. They've only allowed
Speaker 1: to passing touchdowns on the season and are giving up
Speaker 1: two passing yards per game. Plus. Matt Ryan's top two
Speaker 1: wide receivers are out, not including Kyle Pitts. Of course,
Speaker 1: Calvin Redley, he did not his crowd his space, Nea
Speaker 1: did Russy Gage. They will play in East cuts and scratches.
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley and also Gauge did not make the trip
Speaker 1: to London. That means Olamida Zakias and Taj Sharpe are
Speaker 1: the next wide receivers on the depth chart, but it's
Speaker 1: probably Cordarrel Patterson and Kyle Pitts actually manning those positions.
Speaker 1: Oh my, Coil Pits gets a housemaid's neat, he gets
Speaker 1: the Bonnie rubble from kata An Owl. Mccockney gives Pits
Speaker 1: a C grade here. Bryce Hall and the other Michael
Speaker 1: Carter have actually been above average at the cornerback position.
Speaker 1: Car lines up in the slot and make chip in
Speaker 1: on Pits. Still, they've been double teaming uh Pits a
Speaker 1: lot already this season with Ridley out, I would imagine
Speaker 1: or mccockney would imagine, they triple team Kyle Pitts. Now,
Speaker 1: that's that doesn't seem like what you said at all.
Speaker 1: I mean, Brian just said a lot of words, and Colin,
Speaker 1: you didn't say that much. Sadly, I understand this guy, Okay,
Speaker 1: airy Dash Patterson is a hey bail. The aeroplanes have
Speaker 1: offered Jack's alive touches to run us year old Tenney
Speaker 1: mates went ten and four nine and air last Bubble
Speaker 1: and squeak a grade for Cordill Patterson. The Jets have
Speaker 1: allowed five rushing touchdowns to the position this year, and
Speaker 1: the Titans running backs combined for ten catches and ninety
Speaker 1: four total yards to the air last week against New York.
Speaker 1: Even mikey Avis gets light and dark, he gets fifteen
Speaker 1: two shades er a game like Davis even gets to be.
Speaker 1: He's still getting around fifteen touches per game. That sit
Speaker 1: back to Richmond, your dustbin lids. I'm calling your uber
Speaker 1: right now to the airport. Can you actually uber all
Speaker 1: the way across the Atlantic and bike does that? I
Speaker 1: don't know that song? Is that the ted Lasso song?
Speaker 1: Right there? Is that the fight song from ted Lasso?
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, I just saw that guy in the hallway.
Speaker 1: He was out of control. Yeah, that's Colin mccockney. Smells
Speaker 1: too British. By the way, if you want to order
Speaker 1: a Colin mccockney shirt, they're available at shock Fantasy dot
Speaker 1: com in the shop. That's fantastic. Yeah, I don't have
Speaker 1: a Colin mccockney shirt. Should probably think I just earned one.
Speaker 1: Cleveland takes on the Los Angeles Chargers. Brian, The Chargers
Speaker 1: pass defense has become very good, and we know that
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield is nursing a shoulder injury. So what do
Speaker 1: you do with that passing game? Uh? You pretty much
Speaker 1: avoid it for the most part. Uh. We'll get to
Speaker 1: that in a second. I want to talk about the
Speaker 1: running backs first for Cleveland because that's where this uh,
Speaker 1: this game is going to focus around. For the Browns.
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb can give him an a got vultured by
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt at the goal line last week, but Chubb
Speaker 1: has seen the third most red zone carries in the league.
Speaker 1: So far, the Chargers are allowing the fourth most rushing
Speaker 1: yards per game to opposing running backs over fourteen yards
Speaker 1: per game. So continue to plug Chubb into your lineup
Speaker 1: with confidence. Gonna give him an A here, and Kareem
Speaker 1: Hunt gets a B. Basically playing half the snaps uh
Speaker 1: if not more at running back for Cleveland. He's also
Speaker 1: the preferred pass catcher unless it's de metric Felton go away,
Speaker 1: he's the worst. But Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard both
Speaker 1: produced against the Chargers recently. Chubb and Hunt can easily
Speaker 1: do the same. So I gotta be on Kareem Hunt.
Speaker 1: And the only starting grade for the pass catcher on
Speaker 1: the Browns goes to Odell Beckham Junior. Gonna give him
Speaker 1: a C. I give him an A for effort against
Speaker 1: the Vikings last week. You looked great. Baker could not
Speaker 1: find Yeah, missed him on at least two touchdowns. So
Speaker 1: a brutal outing for Beckham and I got chopped at
Speaker 1: my guilloting league because Baker missed him. I just see
Speaker 1: because I done either of the touchdowns, but the wide
Speaker 1: open streaking to the end zone for sixty yard touchdown
Speaker 1: would have been nice. Hopefully Baker Baker can be a
Speaker 1: little more accurate this week, but it's a brutal, brutal
Speaker 1: matchup for Beckham. The Chargers have surrendered the second fewest
Speaker 1: PPR points to wide receivers. L A will surely focus
Speaker 1: on Beckham, who is basically Cleveland's only wide receiver right now.
Speaker 1: Chris Harris and Asante Samuel Jr. Are legit cornerbacks for
Speaker 1: the Chargers, so just to see for Beckham, and I've
Speaker 1: got every other wide receiver on the bench for the Browns.
Speaker 1: I'm also benching Austin Hooper because David and Joeku should play.
Speaker 1: There too many mouse to feed at tight end, and
Speaker 1: without a doubt, Baker Mayfield is on the bench. The
Speaker 1: Chargers held down the likes of Dak Prescott and Derek Carr.
Speaker 1: Baker is not nearly as good as of those guys.
Speaker 1: An easy bench for Baker over to the Chargers side.
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler looked awesome last week, but just to be
Speaker 1: for him in a very tough matchup against Cleveland. The
Speaker 1: Browns are allowing the fifth fewest rushing yards and receiving
Speaker 1: yards per game to opposing running backs. No back has
Speaker 1: topped forty three rushing yards or caught more than three
Speaker 1: passes against Cleveland, and the only touchdown they surrendered to
Speaker 1: the position went to Philip Lindsay in garbage time. So
Speaker 1: just to be for Austin Ekeler and just to be
Speaker 1: for Keenan Allen, who will primarily face off with Troy
Speaker 1: Hill in the slot. Hill has yet to allow a
Speaker 1: touchdown or more than fifty yards in his coverage this year.
Speaker 1: But you can never sit a healthy Keenan Allen. He
Speaker 1: gets a safe B from me. Uh. Mike Williams has
Speaker 1: also looked pretty good outside of last week, but just
Speaker 1: to see in this one, the Browns will be without
Speaker 1: starting corner Greg Newsome too. I always like when guys
Speaker 1: go with the two instead of the junior. You know
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's not it's the second, it's it's
Speaker 1: actually do part do heart shot hot hot shot, hot
Speaker 1: shots part. Anyway, Greg Newsom, the second will be out.
Speaker 1: But greedy Williams has looked good in a reserve role
Speaker 1: at corners, so don't get too greedy. But this Williams,
Speaker 1: the Browns are only a weapon. Catches yards games anyway,
Speaker 1: UH should feel shame right now? Speaking of bad has
Speaker 1: been opposing tight ends against the Browns this year outside
Speaker 1: of Travis Kelsey, who torched Cleveland in Week one. Since then,
Speaker 1: opposing tight ends are averaging sixteen yards per game over
Speaker 1: the last three weeks against Cleveland with no touchdown. So
Speaker 1: I have Jared Cook on the bench, especially with Donald
Speaker 1: Parham stealing touchdowns from Jared Cook recently. So Cook is
Speaker 1: on the bench, but justin Herbert the air Bear giving
Speaker 1: him a B. Not an ideal matchup at all, but
Speaker 1: just hoping talent wins there he is. Air Bear has
Speaker 1: thrown for over three yards end or multiple touchdowns in
Speaker 1: every game this year. Going back to last year. He's
Speaker 1: done that in sixteen of his last eighteen games. Miles
Speaker 1: Garrett might sit for the Browns, but probably not. But
Speaker 1: if he does, UM bumping up Air Bear to anyway.
Speaker 1: But he's just a B, A very little tepid on
Speaker 1: the B grade temporary expectations for air Bear. Unless Garrett sits,
Speaker 1: then I like him a lot more. Chicago takes on
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders. I already gave you Damien Williams
Speaker 1: as might take a chance and the runner for the week.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the passing game. Justin Fields is a tricky,
Speaker 1: tricky guy to figure out for this one. Raiders past
Speaker 1: defense has been shockingly good this year, and I don't
Speaker 1: think Justin Fields, in his third third ever start, is
Speaker 1: going to crack that trend. Chicago has one of the
Speaker 1: worst offensive lines and they were able to hide that
Speaker 1: last week because the Lions don't generate any pressure. But
Speaker 1: here comes the Raiders, ranked number one in pass rush
Speaker 1: by Pro Football Focus. I'm worried Justin Fields is going
Speaker 1: to be under great durests for a lot of this game,
Speaker 1: and if he doesn't have time to set up the
Speaker 1: deep passing, I don't like Justin Fields as much. What
Speaker 1: I love about Fields is the downfield passing. The other
Speaker 1: probably don't like is they only gave him seventeen pass
Speaker 1: attempts in the game last week, so they sheltered him
Speaker 1: a ton only seventeen against the Lions, against which which
Speaker 1: use that as your you're proving ground right there, Well
Speaker 1: you would think so. Um. Overall, the passing still pretty
Speaker 1: inconsistent here, and the other thing that bugs me they're
Speaker 1: not giving Fields any designed runs either. You know he's
Speaker 1: super athletic. You'd think you would give him some design runs.
Speaker 1: They haven't done that. Um it working in his favor.
Speaker 1: Las Vegas is third and fourth cornerbacks Damon Arnett and
Speaker 1: Trayvon Mullins are going to miss this game, so I
Speaker 1: like that. But I can I blend that all together
Speaker 1: into a C grade for Justin Fields. I'm nervous and
Speaker 1: I think there's a high level of possible outcomes here,
Speaker 1: including some bad ones. So I alluded to this earlier,
Speaker 1: but their schedules bad for the next month. It's the
Speaker 1: Raiders than the Packers, than the Bucks than the Niners.
Speaker 1: By then, Matt Naggie has fired, and then and then
Speaker 1: just and Fields can cut loose. Well, Bill Laser's calling
Speaker 1: the plays, which helps. But yeah, maybe that helps. You
Speaker 1: know Packers will be without JR. Alexander for that. That's
Speaker 1: probably the Buck secondaries a disaster. Nobody even tries to
Speaker 1: run on them. Those might end up being plus games
Speaker 1: for Justin Fields down the road, Let's talk about his receivers.
Speaker 1: Darnell Mooney had three awesome plays last week in two
Speaker 1: of the three cases totally broken coverage by the Lions,
Speaker 1: and he was wide open in the other one beautiful
Speaker 1: downfield pass about forty five yards downfield. That was perfect.
Speaker 1: So I want to look at Mooney this week. The
Speaker 1: coverage is gonna be better because the Vegas secondary is better.
Speaker 1: And check out this specific matchup. The Raiders have got
Speaker 1: this rookie cornerback named Nate Hobbs who's been shockingly good.
Speaker 1: Hobbs is giving up just twenty one scoreless yards per game,
Speaker 1: and he lines up against the fast guy on the
Speaker 1: other team because he ran He ran a four three,
Speaker 1: nine forty yard dash at the combine, and so that'll
Speaker 1: be Mooney. And so I've only got the C grade
Speaker 1: on Mooney in this one because I'm worried about that
Speaker 1: matchup with Nate Hobbs. For Allen Robinson, he did show
Speaker 1: some signs of life with Justin Fields under center. He
Speaker 1: caught all three of his targets, but he turned it
Speaker 1: into sixty three yards, which was good. Um, I believe
Speaker 1: Robinson will get most of his work. Unfortunately, against Casey Hayward,
Speaker 1: who ranks number one among all cornerbacks in coverage by
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus, He's giving up just twenty six yards
Speaker 1: in his coverage per game. No sorry, on the year,
Speaker 1: he's given up twenty six yards. So Allen Robinson just
Speaker 1: the C grade in this one as well. Let's go
Speaker 1: over to Las Vegas Darren Waller obvious A. But let's
Speaker 1: go to Derek Carr who was also an A. Here.
Speaker 1: I think it's got We've gotten to the point where
Speaker 1: where Derek Carr we can just say obvious A and
Speaker 1: just move on. He leads the NFL in passing yards.
Speaker 1: I mean, we're getting pretty close to that time. Cornerback
Speaker 1: Jalen Johnson's great, but everybody else in the Bear secondary
Speaker 1: is struggling badly. They've given up multiple touchdown passes in
Speaker 1: three or four games. Derek Carrson A grade. Hunter renfro
Speaker 1: is a B grade. He's the most reliable receiver on
Speaker 1: the team that has the most passing yards. He lines
Speaker 1: up in the slot. That puts him up against Duke
Speaker 1: Shelley or Marquis Christian, who have been a combined disaster,
Speaker 1: allowing an eight four percent completion rate and over seventy
Speaker 1: yards in their coverage in three of four games that
Speaker 1: they're combined like a team disaster. Well, that's because they've
Speaker 1: alternated in the slot trying to find somebody who's squasi
Speaker 1: component also be grades. For Rugs and Edwards, the Bear
Speaker 1: secondary has given up the second most scores the seventh
Speaker 1: most yards per game to receivers. Ruggs and Edwards both
Speaker 1: run from the the outsides of the field. When they
Speaker 1: line up on the left, they get the brutal match
Speaker 1: up with Jalen Johnson, who I mentioned earlier. When they
Speaker 1: run up on the right, you get the exact opposite
Speaker 1: Kindle vildo Are. It's easy to get a read on
Speaker 1: Kindle Vildor. He gives up a passer rating of one
Speaker 1: hundred fifty six in his coverage that is almost perfect.
Speaker 1: Ruggs and Edwards run from the slot as a lot
Speaker 1: as well. That can be a point of emphasis for
Speaker 1: them as well. So all around, I like all of
Speaker 1: the receivers Lyng Sharvet all be greats. Josh Jacobs had
Speaker 1: a dud game in his return last week, um, but
Speaker 1: I like the five catches that he had. Peyton Barber's hurt,
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake's awful. The Bears are allowing the ninth most
Speaker 1: rushing attempts to opposing backs, and every opposing starter has
Speaker 1: had at least sixty six rushing yards, So I think
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs actually has got a nice floor in this one,
Speaker 1: and he'll probably get to the sixty six yards on
Speaker 1: a bunch of carries. So we've got a B grade
Speaker 1: on Josh Jacobs as well. Gross When we come back,
Speaker 1: premature Speculation will tell you to jump in that time machine.
Speaker 1: Who do you want to pick up this week that
Speaker 1: everybody else will be trying to pick up next week?
Speaker 1: Find out when we come back to the final segment
Speaker 1: of Fantasy foot Ball Weekly. Welcome back to the show
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charchie and Matt Harrison and Brian
Speaker 1: Johnson with you. This is a segment we like to
Speaker 1: call premature speculation. Players you want to pick up this
Speaker 1: week that everybody else will be trying to pick up
Speaker 1: next week. Matt Harrison, Who you got? I got Jeff
Speaker 1: Wilson Jr. And this one might be really premature. He
Speaker 1: had meniscus surgery earlier this offseason, was on a four
Speaker 1: to six month recovery projection and we're in month five
Speaker 1: right now, and what we know about his running back position,
Speaker 1: Kyle Wanahan hates all of his team, hates Trey Sermon,
Speaker 1: he hates everybody on that team. So Wilson is gonna
Speaker 1: be back in. He averaged seventy four rushing yards in
Speaker 1: a score per game and games we got ten touches
Speaker 1: last year. Brian, your premature speculation player. Go grab DeShawn Watson.
Speaker 1: Bob McNair, the owner of the Texans, is kind of
Speaker 1: reopened talks rumors saying that Watson could be traded will
Speaker 1: no by November second, so you don't have to hold
Speaker 1: onto him all year. Go grab him now. See if
Speaker 1: he gets moved in the next week or two. There's
Speaker 1: a chance Jarvis Landry is going to come up the
Speaker 1: injury list or is eligible to come off next week,
Speaker 1: and no Cleveland receiver has stepped up at all in
Speaker 1: his place. It's O, B J and nothing. Basically, Landry
Speaker 1: walks right back in to be a major factor in
Speaker 1: the Cleveland passing game. Let's go back to the matchup
Speaker 1: San Francisco takes on the Arizona Cardinals. Let's start with
Speaker 1: the running game which you just alluded to. Matt Elijah
Speaker 1: Mitchell completely off the injury list. That's gonna muddy this backfield. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I had Trace Sermon initially as a b when I
Speaker 1: thought Elijah wasn't gonna go. Now. I have them both
Speaker 1: on the bench because we don't know how this is
Speaker 1: gonna carry out. With both of these guys active. The
Speaker 1: cards have allowed over a hundred and ten combo yards
Speaker 1: to each of the last three runners that they faced,
Speaker 1: but it was the top three runners, and we don't
Speaker 1: know who the top is. So I'm gonna have both
Speaker 1: on the bench this week. Trey Lance, he's getting a
Speaker 1: C grade with Jimmy g Out. Completed half of his
Speaker 1: passes in relief of Jimmy g last week. That wasn't great,
Speaker 1: but he did have two scores and added forty one
Speaker 1: yards on the ground. The Cardinals are on offense that
Speaker 1: you have to chase, and they have allowed seventeen rushing
Speaker 1: yards to each of the quarterbacks they faced this year,
Speaker 1: none of which are noted speedsters. So Lance is a
Speaker 1: ce Deebo. Samuel is the only wide receiver you can start.
Speaker 1: He gets a bee. They move him around quite a bit,
Speaker 1: and the Niners may want to attack right cornerback Marco Wilson,
Speaker 1: who's allowing a passer rating of one thirty nine this
Speaker 1: season and has already surrendered three touchdowns. George Kittle can't
Speaker 1: start him. Downgraded the doubtful with the calf injury. They
Speaker 1: have a bye next week, so they're going to actually
Speaker 1: sit him. On the other side, Kyler gets an A
Speaker 1: Hopkins gets an a uh A. J Green usually lines
Speaker 1: up on the right side of the field and faces
Speaker 1: Drake Kirkpatrick, who usually patrols that side of the field.
Speaker 1: He held Tyler Lockett in check last week, so I'll
Speaker 1: put Green on the bench. Kirk usually man's the slot
Speaker 1: where he'll go against Dante Johnson, who's allowing a passer
Speaker 1: rating of one thirty in his coverage. He let Freddie
Speaker 1: Swain score last week, so kirk gets a b. Ron
Speaker 1: Dale Moore is only on the field for a third
Speaker 1: of his snap, so he's on the inch, so is
Speaker 1: Max Williams. The runners Chase Edmonds and James Conner, giving
Speaker 1: them both a C grade in this one. Evans is
Speaker 1: leading the snap share about sixty forty over Connor. Connor's
Speaker 1: leading in touchdowns and rushing attempts inside the ten. He
Speaker 1: scored four times this year. The Niners are allowing a
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty five combo yards and to score per
Speaker 1: game to opposing runners. My guess is that about ninety
Speaker 1: of that goes to Edmonds while the touchdown goes to Connor.
Speaker 1: That's C grades for both of them. Yeah, watch Chase
Speaker 1: Edmonds up to game time. He's got a shoulder injuries
Speaker 1: at game time. Decision would bump Connor up to a beat?
Speaker 1: That would that would be handy Brian. Buffalo takes on
Speaker 1: Kansas City. This Kansas City defense might be the league's
Speaker 1: worst defense. Yeah, m welb. Without Chris Jones, it's looking
Speaker 1: like the top defensive alignment. But we'll start with the
Speaker 1: running backs for Buffalo and our boy, Zack Moss, who
Speaker 1: gets a B. The Chiefs are allowing hundred and forty
Speaker 1: five combo yards and one and a half touchdowns per
Speaker 1: game to running backs. Uh. Mosses essentially taking over for
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary outs apping him in back to back week
Speaker 1: So a B for Moss and a Singletary is on
Speaker 1: the bench. Uh Stefon Diggs not on the bench. Of course,
Speaker 1: he gets an A. Kansas City has surrendered big games
Speaker 1: to Mike Williams, Keenan Allen, DeVonta Smith, hend Mark Keys
Speaker 1: Brown digs his due to go off here, so he
Speaker 1: gets an A. Uh colde Beasley unlikely to go off,
Speaker 1: but he does get a safe B, especially in PPR.
Speaker 1: He wasn't needed much against the Texans last week, but
Speaker 1: Beasley was certainly needed when these teams met in the
Speaker 1: playoffs last year. Beasley saw nine targets and caught seven
Speaker 1: of them for eighty eight yards. Kind of feels like
Speaker 1: a box score he can put together in this game.
Speaker 1: And Emmanuel Sanders and give him a C. Five catches
Speaker 1: and back to back games. This should be a shootout.
Speaker 1: He will produce in this one. So I gotta see
Speaker 1: on Manny Sanders and Dawson Knox, so B for him.
Speaker 1: The Chiefs have allowed the third most receptions and the
Speaker 1: most yards to the tight end position, and Knox has
Speaker 1: been on a rampage lately, tied with Stefon Diggs for
Speaker 1: the team lead in red zone targets and has scored
Speaker 1: in back to back games. So I love Dawson Knox
Speaker 1: this week with a B. And he got to love
Speaker 1: Josh Allen enough to give him the the Fantasy Funds
Speaker 1: Fantasy Fonzi got his own button on the bar. Every
Speaker 1: opposing quarterback has scored multiple touchdowns against the Chiefs. Lamar
Speaker 1: Jackson just ran over Kansas City for a hundred and
Speaker 1: seven yards a few weeks ago. So again the fantasy
Speaker 1: Fonzie for Josh Allen, A and A for Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go into that too much. You're starting
Speaker 1: Patrick Gohomes against anybody basically in A for him and
Speaker 1: a for Travis Kelsey even though Buffalo tight end. Buffalo
Speaker 1: has been tough against tight ends, allowing just over thirty
Speaker 1: five yards per game to the position. But Logan Thomas
Speaker 1: had a good game with forty plus yards and a touchdown.
Speaker 1: So I like Travis Kelsey enough to give him an A,
Speaker 1: but just to be for Tyreek Hill. The Bills have
Speaker 1: held the likes of Terry McLaurin and Brandon Cooks, and
Speaker 1: check Hill in the Chief's offense is next level compared
Speaker 1: to those guys. But Tri Davious White might shadow Hill
Speaker 1: a ton here unless they moved Hill to the slot,
Speaker 1: which they might, but uh, I'm temping on Hill. Here's
Speaker 1: for just a B for him and wide receiver. You
Speaker 1: such a dart throw for the Chiefs in the the game.
Speaker 1: Do not together on the bench this week. And C. E. H.
Speaker 1: Clyde Edward Clyde Edwards Hilaire almost on the bench, but
Speaker 1: to give him a C here despite the Bills allowing
Speaker 1: me fourth fewest rushing yards and eighth fewest receiving yards
Speaker 1: to opposing running backs, over all, the production they've given
Speaker 1: to running backs came on that one play from Antonio
Speaker 1: Gibson's sent me three yard catch and run. But C. E.
Speaker 1: H has kind of revived himself in Kansas City's offense,
Speaker 1: so I'll give him a C in the shootout. Ever
Speaker 1: since I named him Clyde Edwards Despair, he's been good.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Indianapolis taking up Baltimore on Monday night.
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor with a B grade. Ravens allowing the eighth
Speaker 1: fewest rushing yards per game to opposing running backs, will
Speaker 1: not allowing any back to top fifty six rushing yards,
Speaker 1: which is a bummer. Taylor has a league leading nineteen
Speaker 1: red zone rushing attempts, which I like, and the Ravens
Speaker 1: have already allowed five red zone touchdowns to opposing runners,
Speaker 1: so we'll hope for the touchdown for Taylor with a
Speaker 1: B grade. Carson Wentz gets a C grade, Calais Campbell,
Speaker 1: and rookie oh Dafe Away he is are generating a
Speaker 1: ton of pressure, and I'm worried about Wentz his protection
Speaker 1: behind that leakey offensive line. And the only good news
Speaker 1: here is is that Wentz likes his tight ends and
Speaker 1: the Ravens have given up the most catches in the
Speaker 1: second most yards to tight ends and that means mo
Speaker 1: Alei Cox gets a sea as here. We're not just
Speaker 1: chasing next week. You know that is an opportunity big
Speaker 1: game last week. He could do it again here. Michael Pittman.
Speaker 1: Over the last three games, Pittman is averaging ten targets
Speaker 1: per game. Baltimore secondary has been very good in back
Speaker 1: to back games, but that was against Detroit and the
Speaker 1: drew lock led Broncos, So there's still an opportunity for
Speaker 1: Pittman and he gets a C grade. Also watch Nahem
Speaker 1: Hindes a game time decision here, but if he goes,
Speaker 1: he's startable because the Ravens have given up the fourth
Speaker 1: most receiving yards two running backs and could help you there.
Speaker 1: On the Baltimore side, Lamar Jackson is of an A
Speaker 1: grade here as Indie. Maybe without four defensive starters. The
Speaker 1: Colts have allowed multiple passing touchdowns in every game, including
Speaker 1: to the notoriously inept Jacoby Brissette last week, So he's
Speaker 1: an grade. So is Marky's Brown, a ridiculous nine scores
Speaker 1: in his last ten games. And here's Indianapolis, a secondary
Speaker 1: that's been tagged for a league high eight receiver scores already,
Speaker 1: so a touchdown feels like a lock for mark Kis Brown.
Speaker 1: We'll go to Mark Andrews next. Opposing tight ends have
Speaker 1: only totaled eighteen targets against the Colts, but the comparable
Speaker 1: Mike Kiseki just burned Indie for five catches, fifty seven
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. And sticking with the receivers, Sammy
Speaker 1: Watkins with a C grade. He remains on the field
Speaker 1: of ton. He's led all Baltimore receivers in snap count
Speaker 1: almost every game, and this is a promising matchup against
Speaker 1: an injured secondary that's allowed the most wide receiver touchdowns
Speaker 1: as I mentioned before, So we'll give a C grade
Speaker 1: to Sammy Watkins. Here, We're gonna watch Rashod Bateman and
Speaker 1: see if he plays in this game and how much
Speaker 1: the running game for Baltimore is just gross. You know,
Speaker 1: I assume Tyson William is going to be deactivated again.
Speaker 1: And it appears Latavius Murray is going to be the
Speaker 1: apparent workhorse. They put Levy on Bell Back on the
Speaker 1: practice squad. The Colts shut down the meager Miami backfield
Speaker 1: last week, but the other three starters they faced, Chris Carson,
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry Darryl Henderson averaged a hundred fourteen total yards
Speaker 1: per game. And if Murray's going to get the majority
Speaker 1: of the work, well there's your angle. That's why we'll
Speaker 1: put a starting grade a C grade on Latavius Murray
Speaker 1: in this game. Thank you for listening, everybody. If you
