Speaker 1: the show. It is week number twelve Fantasy Football Weekly.

10
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: We're uh, we're getting near nut cutting time. I don't

11
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: know what it means. I don't like that. I don't

12
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: like I don't even like thinking about what that might mean.

13
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: Nobody wants their nuts cut. That's what I about now. Yeah,

14
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: nobody wants that. Brian Johnson Matt Harrison are my co

15
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: host today. Good morning guys, Good morning, many teams. You

16
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 1: may find yourself in a sizeable deficit right now after

17
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: after the game's on Thursday. Yes, nut cutting time, okay,

18
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: the point when you have tried everything but failed. While

19
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: the nut cutting time originally refers to the effort required

20
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: to remove a rusted or stripped nut. It has come

21
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: to be used as legislative context as the time to

22
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: exert maximum efforts to round up votes. Really it's a

23
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: it's it's screws. Really like you, you're both got rusted

24
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: and you can't get it off with a wrench, so

25
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: you go, oh, oh, you cut it right. It's rusted.

26
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: It doesn't have anything to do with testicles. Okay, it's

27
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: rusted nuts, got it. I can just sense the ratings

28
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: plummeting right now. Yeah, probably cut. We've got all kinds

29
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: of good stuff to get to though. Over the course

30
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: of the show, of course, take a chance on me.

31
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: We'll give you nine players you can start that you

32
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: normally would, many of whom are on the waiver wire.

33
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: You can also play along with three hot questions, premature

34
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: speculation and the final premature speculation of the year coming

35
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: right here this week, and then Lightning round of course,

36
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: and all of the matchups, including Pittsburgh taking on Denver. Brian,

37
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: the the whole home road thing for Ben still it's

38
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: a little up in the air right now. Overall, he's

39
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: been better on the road this year, hasn't had like

40
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: the massive explosive games that he typically gets at home,

41
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: but hasn't had the dreadful games either. And then last

42
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 1: week's had to light out because for three and a

43
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: half quarters he was awful, awful, and then he ends

44
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: up with two passing touchdowns and a rushing touchdown and

45
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: puts himself into a good position for a solid fantasy

46
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: day on the road last week. Now he gets Denver.

47
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 1: What do you make of Ben Roethlisberger this week? Uh?

48
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: Safer floor than normal on the road. It feels like

49
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: for all the reasons you mentioned, Uh, he seems to

50
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 1: at least come away with two fifty and two on

51
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: the road and passed there's like one eight and one

52
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: and three interceptions. So guys like Patrick Mahomes, Deshaun Watson,

53
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers averaging over three five yards and two and

54
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: a half touchdowns against Denver recently. Uh, Ben's still of

55
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: that ilk, even on the road. So I'll give him

56
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: a solid B here. Uh, mainly because I just absolutely

57
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: well of Antonio Brown this week. Everyone loves Antonio Brown

58
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: every week, but this feels like the week where he's

59
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: gonna go double digit receptions for a hundred yards and

60
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: maybe a crooked number in terms of touchdowns. Possibly, Yes,

61
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: he's gonna get Bradley Roby and Tremaine Brock on the outside,

62
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 1: who are not they are no a key to lead. Yeah,

63
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: So Denver secondary is a thing of the past, so

64
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: easy a for Brown. But Juju Smith Schues Juju Smith

65
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: Schuster not so much. I'm gonna give him a sea

66
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: here because he will see Chris Harris, who is still

67
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: the best slot corner in the NFL. Juju run sev

68
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: routes from the slot, so he has the toughest matchup.

69
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: I'm just giving him a sea here. Uh. Harris has

70
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: allowed just thirty four catches for three D sixty yards

71
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: on fifty six targets all season, So not a good

72
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: matchup for Juju. Better matchup for Vans McDonald though, giving

73
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: him a B opposing tight ends or averaging sixty plus

74
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: R for a game against Denver, and the Broncos have

75
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 1: also allowed a tight end touchdown in each of their

76
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: last three games, So Mike and Vance here he gets

77
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: a B and only given James Connery be Denver is

78
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: actually uh kind of gotten tough against running backs recently,

79
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: allowing just under three yards per carry over the last

80
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: four games, just one combined total touchdown to running backs

81
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 1: during that span too, And uh, Connor is cooled off

82
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: now that he doesn't have to throw about Levon Bell.

83
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: Bell is out of the picture. So Connor now now

84
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: he's gonna tank. He's on an autopilot. But just over

85
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,279
Speaker 1: hundred twenty combo yards over the last two games for Connor,

86
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: so he has cooled down. Not an amazing matchups, Just

87
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: to be for him here over to the Denver side,

88
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: just to be for Philip Lindsay. Pittsburgh has been very

89
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: tough against running backs all season. No loan back had

90
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: topped eighty five combo yards against the Steelers until Leonard

91
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: Fournette and Christian McCaffrey both did it in each of

92
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. Lindsay is borderline in that territory,

93
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: but he's still saw startable. I'm justsna give him a

94
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: soft be here. But Davante Freeman from Sorry Royce Freeman,

95
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: DeVante Booker easily on the bench. H Emmanuel Sanders borderline

96
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: bench greade for me in this one, even in a

97
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: revenge game against his old team, his Steelers. But Sanders

98
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 1: has been held scoreless in three straight hasn't topped sixty

99
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 1: yards in that span, and he gets Mike Hilton, who's

100
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: another great slot cornerback, maybe one b to Chris Harris

101
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: when hers the slot corners. Uh. He's allowed just twelve

102
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: yards per twelve yards per game in his coverage over

103
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,799
Speaker 1: the last six games something, and hasn't allowed to touchdown

104
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: all seasons. So I do not like Sanders. I will

105
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: give him a see though. He's a tough guy to

106
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: sit as a primary receiver in a game where Denver

107
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: probably chasing points. But Courtland Sutton on the bench has

108
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: yet the top three catches in a single game all year,

109
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 1: and he faces a resurgent Joe Dare we call him

110
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: Iron Hayden again? He's been very good this ye her

111
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: Joe Hayden, absolutely so, Sutton on the bench. Love him

112
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: long term dyansty keeper leagues, but he's on the bench

113
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: this week. Jeff Hoyerman, our boy, Jeff Berman. Is it

114
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: Hierman tier? I like human? Well, it looks like it

115
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: ought to be Hoyerman. There's no eye in it, but

116
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: it's Hireman. Tricky tricky Hireman. Anyway. Pittsburgh ranks against tight

117
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: ends by football outsiders, allowing more than sixty five yards

118
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,280
Speaker 1: per game to the position. Sadly, Hireman's birthday is not

119
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: on Sunday, but guess when it is Monday, this very moment,

120
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: it's today. Shall we celebrating? Shall we sink the Hireman?

121
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: Happy birthday to you? Case Keenum Jeff Hireman on the

122
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 1: bench though, Sadly, I mean when you only really like

123
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: Hireman as a pass catcher for a football team, you're

124
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: not gonna start the quarterback. And that would be case

125
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: Keenum on the bench. On the bench chart you got

126
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: some pipes over there. Well, I don't show him off offen,

127
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: but I can do it. Yeah, it helps if it's

128
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: morning and everything's sort of gravelly, and yeah that it

129
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: works better that way. Actually, let's go to Jacksonville taking

130
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: on Buffalo Matt h The Jaguars offense better with Leonard Fournett,

131
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: who has been solid in his two games. This is

132
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: kind of a sneaky, tough matchup with a decent Buffalo

133
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 1: run defense. What do you make of Leonard four Nette today?

134
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna try to get out of this matchup as

135
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: quick as we got into it. Leonard Fournette gets an

136
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: A grade. He had thirty touches last week against the

137
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: Steelers again, another huge touch total was a twenty nine

138
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: the week before. I think, uh. Only one running back

139
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: has had more than fifteen touches against the Bills this year.

140
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 1: That was Marlon Mack. He ended up with a hundred

141
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: and fifty nine combo yards and two touchdowns, so four

142
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: nets an easy a Blake Bortles and the rest of

143
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: the passing game is on the bench. Five out of

144
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: the last six quarterbacks the Bills have faced have been

145
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: held to under two hundred yards, and six out of

146
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: the last seven quarterbacks the Bills of face to have

147
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: been held to one or fewer touchdown passes. That's one

148
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 1: or zero, so D D. Westbrook, DJ Charkin, Dante Moncrief

149
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: who combined for forty five yards last week. Yeah, they're

150
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: all on the bench too. On the other side, there's

151
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: one starter, and it's not a great starter. It's Lashawn McCoy,

152
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: who gets a See. Jacksonville has only allowed four rushing

153
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: touchdowns on the season to opposing running backs. That's not good.

154
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo just fed McCoy like a crazy team. They just

155
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: gave him the ball over and over again. Twenty six

156
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: carries last week, for a hundred and thirteen yards and

157
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: two scores. The only problem was that was two of

158
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: Buffalo's three running back touchdowns on the season, so literally

159
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: it was McCoy's only good game of the year. If

160
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,640
Speaker 1: they're going to stay in this game, they're going to

161
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: ground and pound and try to play great defense. I

162
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: think you don't think Josh Allen changes the complexion of

163
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: that offense quite a bit. I do, no, not that much.

164
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: He's slated to start this game, but the Bills are

165
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: only snuffing ad and eight two passing yards per game

166
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: this year, with only five touchdown passes on the season,

167
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: and most of those were Matt Barkley's um They're on

168
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: pace to be the worst quarterback group since the two

169
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: thousand fifteen St. Louis Rams, whose quarterbacks were the NFC

170
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: Championship Game quarterbacks from last year, Nick Foles and case

171
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 1: keenum they were the worst quarterbacks in recent history. They

172
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: averaged one eight one and had eleven touchdowns on the

173
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: season for the Rams. So Za Jones is on the

174
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: bench to some people are chasing his eleven targets, his

175
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: eight catches, his ninety three yards in a score last week,

176
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: but he gets Jalen Ramsey this week. So I'm not

177
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: going to say, Zay, I'm not going to say you

178
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: don't say, I don't say nobody's as I can I

179
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: zig and you could say never mind. Uh, let me

180
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: mention this about the Bill's run defense and Leonard four Nette.

181
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: You mentioned Marlon Max great game, yet nineteen carries, hundred

182
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: twenty six yards in a touchdown, chipped another touchdown through

183
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: the air. He's the only back who's topped seventy seven

184
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 1: yards against the Buffalo run defense all year. Well, and

185
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: as I said, he's the only back who's had more

186
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: than fifteen carries in a game. They just they haven't

187
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: faced a bell cow back like four Net. Well they

188
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: kind of have, you know, Melvin Gordon twenty eight rushing

189
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: yards as one example. Um, they were way up in

190
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: that game, though they didn't need all. That is true.

191
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: They were way up in that game and they didn't

192
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: need it. So you know, we'll see. I you know,

193
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: I just I think they're so I think it's a

194
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: little bit trickier for I think it's a little trickier

195
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: for lenond front at than you do. But that's all right, Okay, Well,

196
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 1: we'll see how it plays out. Let's go to the

197
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: Giants taking on the Eagles, and if there's anything to

198
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 1: know here, no, it's the Eagle secondary is an absolute wreck.

199
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: Jalen Mills has got a foot injury. Sydney Jones safety

200
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:20,479
Speaker 1: expected to miss the game. Already, backups, already, already backups.

201
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: Rassul Douglass and a Vonte Maddox both went down against

202
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: the Saints last week, and it doesn't look like they're

203
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: going to go either. We're looking at like fifth and

204
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: six string guys starting throughout the secondary. Not a cornerback

205
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: has been able to practice the Eagles. It's not cornerbacks,

206
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 1: not one. It is an utter disaster. There wasn't one

207
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: of those guys the bad guy, and Batman begins to

208
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: Russuel Douglas exactly. So if there's ever a time to

209
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: start your Giants in the passing game, this certainly feels

210
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: like it. We've got it. Obviously a grade on Odell

211
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: Beckham that I don't even need to expand on beyond that,

212
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: But let's talk about Eli Manning. There are some mixed

213
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: trends here. Um. With all of the injuries, the Eagles

214
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: have allowed at least two hundred seventy passing yards in

215
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: every game since Week four. But we've already seen Eli

216
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: Mann and go belly up in these great opportunities in

217
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: the past against other bad defenses Atlanta, Washington, San Francisco,

218
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: and Tampa. He only managed two three yards per game

219
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: and one point eight touchdowns. So I had Eli as

220
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: an A until I dug into the stats a little farther.

221
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: Now I've got him as a B right now. But

222
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,719
Speaker 1: that he has, he's potentially colossal upside In this case,

223
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: He's just a two eight, three and two kind of

224
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 1: guy in his best games. Kind of that is sort

225
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: of his upside, isn't it. You know where you look

226
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: at that secondary and you think that could be a

227
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 1: four hundred yard passing game. But Eli doesn't give us

228
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: those anymore. Sterling Shepherd could be going up against slot

229
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: cornerback Cravon le Blanc back that's right, claimed off wave

230
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: is a couple of weeks ago. Uh. In fact, he's

231
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 1: been on the team I think eleven days. Do they

232
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: call him the little blanket, the blanket le blanket coverage,

233
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: blanket comforts. Does he whitewash the opponent? I like it? Uh?

234
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 1: Cravon le blanc against Sterley Shepherd feels very very good. Um,

235
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: I would have made Sterling Shepherd today grade. But he's

236
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: done nothing for the better part of a month either,

237
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: so he was blocked last weekend. It's a blank. Yes, uh,

238
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 1: nobody else is laughing, but we're cracking ourselves up if

239
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: nothing else. Evan Ingram just to see grade. He goes

240
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: have been great against tight ends all year, allowing only

241
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: three and a half receptions in thirty five yards per game.

242
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 1: Ingram was forced to miss the first game between these

243
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: two earlier this season, but last year he did average

244
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 1: ten targets for sixty six yards in the two games

245
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: against the Eagles. I've got to see grade on him,

246
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: but you could pray done. He hasn't done anything of note.

247
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: Ellison outsnapped him last week. That's well, but they have

248
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: two different roles, you know, Ingram's your pass catcher, rets

249
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: your your blocker. Obviously they don't need a pass catching

250
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: tight end anymore. Well, they need blockers worse. The offensive

251
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: line so bad. And then obviously se kwon Barkley's and a

252
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: a start. Although I'll note your Kwan's got the hardest

253
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: matchup on the field. The Eagles are only giving up

254
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: sixteen rushes per game to opposing backs. But Sa Kwan

255
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: did just find on thirteen attempts when they met in

256
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: week five, and he put up two nine yards. So

257
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: in a grade for Se Kwon. But again, everybody else

258
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: on the fields got easier matchups than he does, and

259
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 1: the game script could go away from him. Let's go

260
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: to the eagle side. Carson Wentz gets an A grade

261
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: for me. I know last week was dismal. It was

262
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: a terrible game, but Once had went into that game

263
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 1: having thrown multiple touchdowns in sixth straight before that game,

264
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna assume that was the anomaly. And among

265
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: those games was a three touchdown effort against the same

266
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: Giants in week six. I would take another three touchdowns.

267
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: The Giant secondaries improved slightly since shedding Eli Apple, which

268
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: was additioned by subtraction, and they picked off Tampa quarterback

269
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: four times, Tampa quarterbacks four times last week. Still, this

270
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,079
Speaker 1: is a very beatiful secondary, and I've got an A

271
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: grade on Carson Wentz. How about all Sean Jeffrey b grade?

272
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: Here is he is? He lines up against the Giant's

273
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,320
Speaker 1: defense that he tore apart in Week six, catching eight

274
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: passes for seventy four yards and two touchdowns. Now they're

275
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: without Eli Apple, who was who Now without without Elie

276
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: Apple who allowed a hundred and eleven of those yards

277
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: in the Eagles game last time, So he probably has

278
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,320
Speaker 1: a little tougher matchup, and he's been a lot quieter lately.

279
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: Now the most intriguing matchup of this whole game. What

280
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: do you do about Golden Tate? I'll tell you what

281
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 1: you do stardom. He got moved to the slot last

282
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: week and that promptly led him to lead the team

283
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: and targets, receptions and yards. And I know it didn't

284
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: materialize into a big fantasy game, and lever is putting

285
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 1: him on the bench. Get him off the bench. Here

286
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: he goes up against giant slot corner Grant Haley, who

287
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: has surrendered a passer rating of one hundred thirty nine

288
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: in his coverage. Tampa's sl receiver last week, Adam Humphreys

289
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: against Grant Haley, uh caught three passes, sixty yards and

290
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 1: a score on him. So I like Golden Tate in

291
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: this matchup. Zach ERT's obvious A We're not gonna even

292
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: extrap explain well not extrap Lee won't expound on his game.

293
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: Josh Adams, last guy will mention the running game, the

294
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: only running back you'd want to start, and I've got

295
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: a starting grade on him with a C grade. The

296
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 1: Giants have given up one hundred or more rushing yards

297
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: and a touchdown to the opponent's leading running back in

298
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: each of the last three weeks. And those guys to

299
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: get the hundred yards and or a touchdown Adrian Peterson,

300
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: Matton Brita and Peyton Barber. That is not exactly like

301
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: Girly Zeke and se Kwan. That was Adrian Matt Brita

302
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: and Peyton Barber. If those guys are getting it done,

303
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: I like Adams here. Here's the catch though, Adams hasn't

304
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: top nine carries in a game yet. Now you can

305
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: only do so much on nine carries. So the hope

306
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: is that Adams gets more work, and if he does,

307
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: I like the opportunity for a decent game here. Um,

308
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 1: if you are of the opinion that Josh Adams is

309
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: going to vault up to eighteen carries out of nowhere, great,

310
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 1: give him a B grade, give him an A grade.

311
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: But what we've seen have been seven seven and nine

312
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: carries in the last three weeks for Josh Adams. That

313
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: keeps him out of sea. Great, all right, we'll take

314
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 1: a break when we come back. Take a chance on me.

315
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 1: Nine players not normally in your starting line up. Many

316
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 1: of them are available on the waiver wire. Will type

317
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: tricky Tricky week for Rams and Chiefs owners. By the way,

318
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: plenty of waiver wire needs out there. We'll tell you

319
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 1: who to pick up when we come back. This is

320
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly presented by green Bell Premium on the

321
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: value if you change all on the first day line,

322
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: I'm still free. Take a chance on me if you

323
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: need me. Let me no gonna be If you got

324
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: no pleace to go, it's take a chance on me.

325
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 1: Nine players that you would not normally start, let's find

326
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: out who they are, beginning at the quarterback position and

327
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson, let's go with san Franz Nick Mullins at

328
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: the bucks. Uh Tampa has been shredded by every quarterback

329
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: not named Alex Smith or Nick Foles this season. Mullins

330
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: probably deserves to be mentioned along the lines of Alex

331
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,640
Speaker 1: Smith and Nick Boles, but coming off is bye week.

332
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: I like him in this matchup. Tampa Bay will be

333
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: without Lavonte David, their all world middle linebacker. Could also

334
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 1: still be without JPP and Vinny Curry from their D line.

335
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: Just a bad defense. So let mullins eat all right

336
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: songs making me sleepy and get much sleep last night,

337
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: because I was up all night thinking about Baker Mayfield

338
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 1: and it's an awesome matchup that he's got. I've got.

339
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: He's thrown from multiple passing touchdowns in four straight games,

340
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: and he's facing quite possibly the worst path s defense

341
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: in the league. That's the Bengals. They're allowing three six

342
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: passing yards per game and two point one touchdowns per

343
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: game through the air. They're also allowing a league high

344
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: six point six QB rushing attempts skewed a little bit

345
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: by Lamar Jackson last week, just a bit, and it's

346
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:21,600
Speaker 1: twenty seven carries, that's true. They've They've allowed thirty quarterback

347
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: rushing yards per game and three quarterback rushing scores this season.

348
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 1: And Baker can run a little. He had six carries

349
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: himself last week for twenty yards on the ground against Atlanta,

350
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: so he might chip in a little extra there too.

351
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: I'm going Jameis Winston against San Francisco. Let's hope he

352
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 1: can just make it through the game without getting benched.

353
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 1: So let's start there, and he is averaging three point

354
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:47,080
Speaker 1: two interceptions per game. Think about that, he's on pace

355
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: for a fifty interception season. If you were to pro

356
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: rate his his season over sixteen games, it's pretty solid.

357
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: That's pretty bad. Nevertheless, here comes San Francisco. They're pretty

358
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: bad to Uh. Winston has plenty of ups side. San

359
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: Francisco has allowed touchdowns to every quarterback except Derek Carr,

360
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: multiple touchdowns in six of the past seven games. Jamis

361
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,800
Speaker 1: Winston simultaneously or take a chance on me. Defense is

362
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: San Francisco? That's right, you bet you could do both, uh,

363
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: Ryan running back. Let's go the Jets Elijah McGuire at

364
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: home versus New England. Let's just start this off by saying,

365
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 1: Isaiah crow l is god awful? Since his uh nineteen

366
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: yard explosive output in Week five, you crow well, I

367
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: was totaled hundred and sixty two yards on fifty seven

368
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 1: carries in the five games. Since that's terrible, that's awful.

369
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 1: What was your starting running back for the Jets Week one?

370
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: Next year? Not? Is it? Is it? Crow? Well McGuire

371
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: or not on roster currently, Bell could be, could be,

372
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: It's certainly not crow Well, and it's probably not gonna

373
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 1: be crow Well on Sunday. It should be Elijah McGuire,

374
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: who has nine touches in each of his first two

375
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: games back. I like you have more carries in this game.

376
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: But he did see a healthy number of targets in

377
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: his first few games five and six, which bodes will

378
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,120
Speaker 1: because opposing running backs are averaging six catches on eight

379
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 1: targets against the Patriots, so uh and in the game

380
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: script will favor passing running backs out of backfields and

381
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 1: Elijah not that he's a great pass catcher, but he

382
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 1: can catch. All right, let's go to Matt running back.

383
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 1: It's come to this that Derrick Henry is now take

384
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 1: a chance on me running back. He's only owned, He's

385
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: not the feature back. And the Titans have been a

386
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,479
Speaker 1: terrible team on the road this season, but four of

387
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: his six rushing attempt totals of ten or more came

388
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 1: on the road when they were trying to play ball control.

389
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: He's also scored in two of his last three road games.

390
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: The Titans need to control the clock when outside of Nashville.

391
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: They're in Houston, and the Texans have given up four

392
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns in just the last three weeks to the Miami, Denver,

393
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 1: and Washington backfields. I'm not asking for a town here,

394
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: I'm just asking for a touchdown out to Derrick Henry

395
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards. I'm fully board. Uh. He made the most

396
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: of his opportunities last week, averaging almost seven yards per carry,

397
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown, and relegated Alex Collins of the bench

398
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: for the entire second half. And what a delicious matchup

399
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: for Gus Edwards against the Raiders, arguably the worst front

400
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: defense in the league. Raiders rank last or second to

401
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: last in rushing attempts, rushing yards, and rushing yards per carry.

402
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards, let's go to the receiver position and Brian Johnson.

403
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: Ravens fans were calling him Gus the bus to troll

404
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: Steelers fans. But yeah, I got Adam Humphries. We just

405
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: talked about him a little bit before. He's at home

406
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:40,640
Speaker 1: against the Niners. Uh. With Jamis Winston under center, Humphries

407
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: target share is up. That's twice as high as it

408
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: is when Ryan Fitzpatrick is quarterback, and things go the

409
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 1: opposite way for DeShawn Jackson. When Winston is under center,

410
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 1: he basically sees no targets. He's got a jury anyway,

411
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: so Humphries will see more looks than Jackson. And this

412
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: one in the forty Niners have getting have given up

413
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: either a hundred yards and door a touchdown to primary

414
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: slot receivers in eight of San Francisco's ten games. So

415
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 1: I'm leaking Adam Humphries. All right, I hope you're right.

416
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 1: I gotta start him in one league where I got

417
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: a battle league filled with Chiefs, a team filled of Chiefs.

418
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 1: Do you remember a quarterback receiver split situation like the

419
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 1: Tampa situation where it's been Fitzpatrick has his guys that

420
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: he goes to and Howard and Jackson and Evans for

421
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: touchdowns and Winston goes to break and Humphrees. It's it's bizarre,

422
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: you know, I don't, but you know it's probably happened,

423
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: but I don't recall one because so few teams end

424
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: up swapping quarterbacks in and out like this, but not

425
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: that I remember. It's just just bizarre. Anyway, My guys

426
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 1: don trelle inman. Uh, He's like emerged as the wide

427
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: receiver too. In Indianapolis Churches favorite team next to the Vikings.

428
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: He's had seventeen targets over the last three games, trailing

429
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 1: only t Y Hilton on the team during that span.

430
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: He also ran more routes than any other Cult wide

431
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: receivers outside of Hilton last week and scored his first

432
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: touchdown of the year. Hilton will draw Zavian Howard this week,

433
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: leaving Inman free to roam against the rest of that

434
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 1: secondary that's not very good in Miami. So like him

435
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: in there? All right, good, my h my guy in

436
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 1: our final take a chance on me is Willie Sneed

437
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: already liked one Raider. Sorry, excuse me. I already liked

438
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: one Raven in the Raiders game. That was Gus Edwards.

439
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 1: Now we're going with the receiver as well, Willie Sneed.

440
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: It's only a one game sample size, but Willie Sneed

441
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: got of the targets from Lamar Jackson. That's awfully good sign.

442
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: We'll see if it carries through a week two. And

443
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 1: if it does, what a nice matchup that he's got.

444
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: Oakland secondaries allowed six wide receiver touchdowns in the last

445
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: three games alone and running out of the slot. He'll

446
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: face Raiders cornerback Nick Nelson, who allowed two scores in

447
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: his coverage just last week alone. So Willie Snead with

448
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 1: a terrific opportunity. All right, there, you go, take a

449
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 1: chance on me in the books. Hopefully that helps New

450
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 1: England taking on the New York Jets. Brian, it's kind

451
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: of start everybody for the Patriots and start nobody except

452
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: at Joe McGuire for the Jets. How it feels pretty much,

453
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: But uh, I don't know Gronk yet. There's a little

454
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 1: trepidation and starting Gronk, I'm giving him not more. You

455
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: gotta go right, you got well, gotta be healthy now

456
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,680
Speaker 1: bye week, you would think, and hopefully he can make

457
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: his return against his good buddy the Jets. Over his

458
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: last eight games, he's averaging seven catches for eighty five

459
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 1: yards and one whole touchdown New York. His owners need

460
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 1: that badly, yes they do, and on paper doesn't look

461
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: too good for tight ends. Jets are allowing just over

462
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: two and a half catches per game to opposing tight ends,

463
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: but by far the best tight end they faced it's

464
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: Eric Ebron this season, and he caught four passes for

465
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: seven one yards and a touchdown. That's probably a safe

466
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: floor for Gronk if he is anywhere near old Gronk status.

467
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 1: But uh, obviously keep your ear to the ground on him.

468
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 1: But over to the other receivers Edelman and Josh Gordon

469
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: and give them an a. Edelman hasn't scored against the

470
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: Jets since two thousand and twelve, which is kind of

471
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: a shocking, but I bet he ends that drought this week.

472
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: Opposing wide receivers like Za Jones, Robert Foster, Aldrick Robinson,

473
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,959
Speaker 1: Marcus Johnson, Chester Rogers, Albert Will and all have had

474
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,719
Speaker 1: big days against New York. I like Edelman and Gordon's

475
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: chances gets buster screen, the busted screen. That's matchup souh

476
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: a's for them, A for Tom Brady. New York has

477
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: allowed multiple touchdowns and six of the past seven games,

478
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,679
Speaker 1: and that includes guys like Blake Border's case, Keenum and

479
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley. Uh. Some people may say, you know New

480
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,880
Speaker 1: York will struggle to keep pace with New England. Doesn't matter.

481
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:24,919
Speaker 1: Belichick will run up the score on the Jets all

482
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 1: day long, one of his favorite pastimes. So that's not

483
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,719
Speaker 1: about I'm a little worried about James White, though I'm

484
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 1: just gonna give him a c uh. He actually has

485
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: positive splits with Grunt in the lineup a bit more

486
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 1: points but um and even though opposing running backs are

487
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,479
Speaker 1: adging nearly fourteen yards per catch against the Jets over

488
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: the last four weeks, the highest clip in the league.

489
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: Check out these catch totals for opposing backfield starting with

490
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 1: the most recent Buffalo one catch, Miami Backs at seven.

491
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: But then Chicago Backs one catch, Minnesota Backs two catches,

492
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: Colts Backs or catches. So and I'm start some teams

493
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,639
Speaker 1: that can catch to This seems more like a Sonium

494
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: shell game to me. So he gets the while White

495
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: gets the sea. Sony had eleven carries in Week ten

496
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 1: against a tough Titans run defense coming off a by.

497
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: He should easily see fifteen plus carries in this game.

498
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 1: New York is one of five teams allowing more than

499
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 1: twenty eight rush attempts per game over their last three games.

500
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 1: Opposing teams are running the ball more than thirty five

501
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: times per game against the Jets. So Sony Michelle b

502
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: borderline a here in a smash spot. I love him,

503
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: especially in daily when his his Price is a little

504
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: suppress still, and then over the Jets, crow L sucks bench,

505
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: Elijah McGuire, take com Quincy and Nune what the one

506
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: wide receiver you might contemplate starting if you really wanted

507
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: to opposing White I was at averaging twenty targets, thirteen

508
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: catches and a hundred and sixty yards per game as

509
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: a whole against New England and none what probably soaks

510
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: up most of those stats. But he's just a dart

511
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 1: throat still on the bench for me, Chris Herndon, I'll

512
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: give him a seed just because most tight ends are

513
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 1: worthless and opposing tight ends are averaging five catches for

514
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,639
Speaker 1: sixty two yards against the Pats second day. Yeah, so

515
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 1: he's a he's a sea level grade. And then uh,

516
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,159
Speaker 1: Sam Donald has been ruled out, So Josh McCown is

517
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: the starter, probably the better fantasy option, but that just

518
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: means the accounts of d While Donald would have been

519
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: in f he's on the bench. The Jets haveing top

520
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 1: ten points since week seven? Are you serious? Oh jeez,

521
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: I didn't realize it was that bad. That is terrible.

522
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,959
Speaker 1: When we come back speaking terrible, we'll spend five seconds

523
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: on the Miami offense. But we'll break down the Indianapolis

524
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 1: coltson Andrew Luck. Will Matt tell you to bench every

525
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: Colt find out when we come back. This is Fantasy

00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: belt dot Com also of note, I love what when

545
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 1: we've got callers from various destinations. We've got in Ontario

546
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,960
Speaker 1: and Milwaukee, a Los Angeles on hold, continue to hold.

547
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: We'll try to work in some calls at the end

548
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: of the segment if we can be pretty brief with

549
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: our matchups, including Miami taking on Indianapolis. There's nothing to

550
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: talk about with the Miami side of this, is there.

551
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: Uh Frank Gore in a revenge games. I gave him

552
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: a C grade because he's had double digit carries in

553
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: seven straight games and that seven game span, Kenyan Drake

554
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: has only hit the nine carry mark twice, so Kenyan

555
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: Drake's definitely on the bench. Gore doesn't have a rushing

556
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: touchdown on this season though, and wulous Yeah have only

557
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: opposing backfields of only top two hundred yards against the

558
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: Colts twice this season and they're on They've only allowed

559
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: four rushing touchdowns in ten games, so Gorge like the

560
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: D grade. Basically it's just the revenge angle. I think

561
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: uh Ryan Tannehill's back starting he was limited in practice

562
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: all week, but he was named the Week twelve starter.

563
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: In his two games prior to the injury, he threw

564
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: four one yards and zero touchdowns and and one And

565
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: the Colts are only allowing an average of two hund

566
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: thirty five yards per game over the last five weeks.

567
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: So Tannehill and the receivers are all on the bench.

568
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: Let's go over to the Colt side Marlon Mack. I

569
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: gave him a bench grade last week, and he kind

570
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: of shut me up by scoring a touchdown against Tennessee.

571
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: After two straight weeks of over a hundred and twenty yards,

572
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: Mac is only averaged forty five rushing yards in his

573
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: two most recent games. This week he will get it

574
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: going against the Dolphins team that is allowing a hundred

575
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: and fifty one rushing yards per game when the last

576
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: month of play. I love Mac and I've got him.

577
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can say, I'm you may

578
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: see you may see him in my charch, my chase

579
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 1: charge lineup at family. Let's just put it that well, well,

580
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: they should take you on by going dot com slash charge.

581
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 1: You can do that. You can play for free. I

582
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: already talked about Don Trell Inman, he was gonna take

583
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: a chance on me. Receiver t Y Hilton, I'm given

584
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,200
Speaker 1: a B grade two. Even though he's going up against

585
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: the zave Cave. He's getting progressively healthier over the last month.

586
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: He went from four to five to seven to nine

587
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: targets over his last four games, which converted into thirty four,

588
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: seventy seven and a hundred and fifty five yards. And

589
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: Xavian Howard has him in the same cornerback of late.

590
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: Either he's been getting beaten the last few weeks. Yeah,

591
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: I like I like Hilton here in the spot. What

592
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: was the grade he gave both Hilton and Mac? I

593
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: miss Mac Mac. I gave a B. Hilton, I gave

594
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: a B. Thank you all right? Jack Doyle and Eric

595
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: Ebron only given CS two. Did you know that Eric

596
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 1: Ebron has scored nine times this season? Why? As a

597
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: matter of fact, nine times nine times? Yeah, But mysteriously,

598
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: Eric Ebron wasn't targeted at all last week against Tennessee.

599
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: That was weird. It was the first game in which

600
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: Jack Doyle was active in which Ibron didn't score a touchdown.

601
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: Doyle only had four targets in that affair too, So

602
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: the Bright side is is that the Dolphins have given

603
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: up multiple touchdown passes to tight ends twice in their

604
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: last five games, so there's room for both Doyle and

605
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 1: Ebron to play in many fantasy lineups. Andrew Luck, I'm

606
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: just giving a C grade too. No, that's not true.

607
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 1: It's not true. I'm giving him an thank you, all right,

608
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: You've come around out Andrew Luck. It's only taken eleven

609
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: weeks of incredibly elite production. He's thrown for at least

610
00:31:47,800 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: three touchdowns in each of the last seven games, and

611
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: the dollar logest such streak in the history of the NFL,

612
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: and the Dolphins will allowed multiple passing scores in four

613
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: of their last five. And to be fair charge, I

614
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:01,719
Speaker 1: gave Luck a B grade last week and have him

615
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: as to take a chance on me, guy, And I

616
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: did not say to drop Andrew Luck outright in a

617
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: five question earlier in the season. That is true. Some

618
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: of us came around, so there. It took me two

619
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: weeks to come right. I've just took you. I've been

620
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: there the whole time. Great on him. Two weeks I

621
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: did not you did. I am holding these two apart

622
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: right now. They're about to go. Are you done. Yeah,

623
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: thank you. Let's go to Oakland Baltimore. There's only one

624
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: starter in Oakland and that's Jared Cook and he only

625
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: has a C grade. He has scored four times, but

626
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: he's also failed the top thirty one yards in five

627
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 1: the last eight games, so you're really you're hoping for

628
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: a touchdown here. Baltimore has allowed to tight end to

629
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: score in three of the past four, so we're hoping

630
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: for the touchdown, that's it. They've also given up at

631
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: least fifty yards to their opponent's tight end group in

632
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: five of the last six. So Jared Cook's the one

633
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: guy feel good about. Everybody else is on the bench

634
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: running game. Doug Martin is hurt, DeAndre Washington sucks. Jalen

635
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 1: Rochard hasn't scored this season. There's no reason to play

636
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: any of those guys, especially against an elite level Ravens

637
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: defense allowing three and a half yards per carry and

638
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: even less than that over the last month of play,

639
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: and they're excellent through the air to allowing the fewest

640
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: receiving yards two runners. So those of you that have

641
00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 1: been streaming Jalen Rochard and just you know, hoping to

642
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: get your five catches for forty yards and be done.

643
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: You might not even get that. For the passing game,

644
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: Derek Carr has been shut out in two of his

645
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: past three games, and over the last five games, he's

646
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: averaging just one yards. Jordy has hurt, Mark Tavis Bryant

647
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: has hurt Brandon Lafel just won on i R. It's

648
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: a disaster. Let's go to the Baltimore side, which is

649
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: a lot more fun. I love Lamar Jackson in this game.

650
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: On on the season, Oakland has allowed the second most

651
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns, including multiple touchdowns in every game since Week two,

652
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 1: three touchdowns in four of the past five games. So

653
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 1: if you looked at last week, you went, well, you

654
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 1: know Lamar Jackson, Sure, sure he was my fifth, you know,

655
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: number five quarterback last week, but where were the touchdowns? Well,

656
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,239
Speaker 1: here come the touchdowns on top of everything you did

657
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 1: last week. This is an awesome matchup for him. He

658
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: has literally highest scoring quarterback potential in this game. Jackson

659
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: only through nineteen passes last week, but I think he

660
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: completed like fifteen of the nineteen something like that, which

661
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: was good. And last week Josh Rosen only threw twenty

662
00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:24,879
Speaker 1: against the Raiders. Still scored three times, so you don't

663
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 1: even need I don't know, I don't need suddenly for

664
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson to throw his arm out of socket to

665
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 1: get touchdowns. Josh Rosen just did it on three twenty

666
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: touches twenty passes, scoring three times. So I love Lamar

667
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 1: Jackson a grade. He's my number four ranked quarterback for

668
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: this week. Gus Edwards was might take a chance on

669
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: me running back Willie snead was might take a chance

670
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: on the wide receiver John Brown also started with a

671
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: B grade. He's done nothing for three straight weeks. I

672
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: get that, but this matchup has got slump buster written

673
00:34:55,080 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 1: all over it because he faces a Raider secondary that's

674
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: allowed six receiver scores in the last three games and

675
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: on the season has allowed the fourth most scores to

676
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: the position. John Brown should be started here. I've got

677
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: Alex Collins on the bench. He's likely the backup, and

678
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: he also has a foot injury he's got to try

679
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 1: to play through. So combining that, I don't know that

680
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: he gets enough carries um there could be the two

681
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: running backs get fed. It could be that both Alex

682
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards and Alex Collins do a little something here,

683
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: but I'd prefer to keep him on the bench. And

684
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: Michael Crabtree has been a disaster and got no attention

685
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: from Jackson last week, so we're gonna leave him on

686
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: the bench as well. Final matchup of this segment is

687
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 1: San Francisco taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. My favorite

688
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 1: forty Niner, Brian, I'm Matt Brita sitting on a big

689
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: game potentially here. I thought you're gonna say George Kittle,

690
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: who was like my favorite thing in the world. Uh,

691
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,560
Speaker 1: joke before, probably the healthiest he's been since birth. It

692
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 1: could be clearly they coming off a bye week, he's

693
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: in a health wise, he's as close to as he

694
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:01,240
Speaker 1: can be. The Bucks have allowed a league seventeen touchdowns

695
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: to running backs. I said, no Lavante David for Tampa Bay.

696
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: Maybe no Jpp Vinny Curry. Brita obvious a in this game.

697
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,240
Speaker 1: Uh speaking of Bobby is as George Kittle who leads

698
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 1: all tight ends end wide receivers in yards after the

699
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 1: catch this year? Are you serious? And if you take

700
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 1: just the yards after the catch, yeah, he's among tight

701
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,720
Speaker 1: ends receiving yards. That's a stat from a rich Rebar

702
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: which uh I definitely enjoyed at Tampa Bay allowing seventy

703
00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:31,760
Speaker 1: plus yards for game to opposing tight ends and another

704
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 1: great Kittle stat from Graham Barfield. Uh san Fran uses

705
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: Kittle as a traditional receiver on nearly forty of his routes,

706
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:40,520
Speaker 1: mean he's lined up on the outside or the slot.

707
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,919
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay has been terrorized for a hundred thirty yards

708
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 1: per game by enemy slot receivers. And that's pretty much

709
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 1: gonna be Kittle. If you haven't watched Kittle play, make

710
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 1: a point. D's good fun over to the wide receivers, though,

711
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: don't love him as much even though you look at

712
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay and you're like, oh, what a great matchup

713
00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: for wide receivers. Over the last three weeks, only a

714
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: hundred seven yards per game to wide receivers as a whole.

715
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay is allowing and uh Goodwin only nine targets

716
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: from Nick Mullins and his two starts. Uh. That said,

717
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay has surrendered at least one wide receiver score

718
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 1: in every game this year, and opposing primary receivers have

719
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: scored in four of the last five, So I'll give

720
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: Goodwin a see. But there's it does but there's I

721
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: don't know. He and Mullins really don't have any chemistry yet.

722
00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: That's my only concern here. So I'm still gonna go

723
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: with the Sea, but he does have the potential in

724
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 1: this matchup. Pierre Garson is out. That makes Pettis a

725
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 1: viable dart throw. Almost used him as might take a chance,

726
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 1: let me receiver, but I like him on fan ball,

727
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: very cheap. Check him out. We might talk about him

728
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 1: a little later in the show. Nick Mullins might take

729
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 1: a chance on the quarterback in this matchup, as we

730
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: talked about earlier over the Tampa Bay side. I donna

731
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 1: give Mike Evans an a this year with Winston as quarterback,

732
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 1: Evans has average more catches and yards than with Stu

733
00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:54,959
Speaker 1: Beard under center, and San fran has conceded big games

734
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: of primary receivers recently, Odell Beckham, Larry if Fitzgerald, Brandon Cooks,

735
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: Davante Adams all have had big games. Again, San Francisco,

736
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: I got the Shawan Jackson on the bench. He does

737
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: not fare so well with Winston. Next quarterback Adam Humphreys does.

738
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 1: That's why he is might take a chance on the

739
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 1: wide receiver and Cameron Braid. If you're an O. J.

740
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: Howard owner, we're gonna talk about camera break. If you

741
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 1: don't know that he's on, I R. I'm sorry to

742
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: ruin your Saturday, but he is. Cameron Braid is the

743
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,280
Speaker 1: guy and uh opposing tight ends or averaging a modest

744
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,560
Speaker 1: four catches for forty eight yards against the forty Niners

745
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:27,280
Speaker 1: and the Niners haven't surrendered a score to the position

746
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,200
Speaker 1: in sixth straight, but Braid is still to be as

747
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 1: the only tight end in that lineup now and then

748
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: in Jammeis Winston was going to take a chance of

749
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 1: the quarterback charge and Peyton Barber, I think just give

750
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: him a sea here shocking the only one running back

751
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:41,239
Speaker 1: as top the hundred yards against San Francisco and they

752
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: haven't allowed a running back to score since Week seven.

753
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:47,000
Speaker 1: But it is surprising. Jarn McCoy is one of the

754
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:51,280
Speaker 1: biggest impact defensive tackles in the NFL. In games he misses,

755
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: and he misses a couple every year. Teams just run

756
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,439
Speaker 1: right through the box and then he comes back. Sorry,

757
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,520
Speaker 1: you're right, I had that flipped over in my head.

758
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,359
Speaker 1: But sorry that this is against him. That's right, That's

759
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 1: why ye but Barber home team favorite. You're starting painting Barber,

760
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: but I'm being uh cautious with the sea here on

761
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 1: him all right when we come back. Oh wait, well,

762
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 1: I promised to try to work in a couple of

763
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: calls and if people are nice enough to call from

764
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: the likes of Ontario where Jordan is, we should talk

765
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:22,560
Speaker 1: to them. Hi, Jordan's um high charge. It's it's Jordan,

766
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 1: and I'm a question for you, Chris Carson or Shepherd.

767
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:32,719
Speaker 1: I love Sterling Shepherd this week and what might be

768
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 1: the easiest matchup of his entire season, and Chris Carson's

769
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 1: sharing work with three two other backs, so Sterling Shepherd

770
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: probably with my highest ranking that he's had all season,

771
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,760
Speaker 1: I believe I have a met at wide receiver twelve

772
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 1: this week overall, especially if it's PPR even more so Shepherd. Yeah,

773
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: thank you for chiming in. Jordan appreciate it. You're welcome.

774
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: How old are you? Awesome? Jordan's keep playing, You'll love it.

775
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 1: That's about the age I started. Well, I started a

776
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: little later than that, but not a lot later. That's perfect. Thanks,

777
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: Jordan's Yeah. Charles in Los Angeles, Hello, Hello, Hi, good morning.

778
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: How did you find us. Oh, I've been listening for

779
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: a couple of years. I think through Sigmund Bloom and

780
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: the football guys outstanding. Yeah, we love sake. What can

781
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,240
Speaker 1: we do for you, Charles? I've got a lex question

782
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: in a half point PPR league, and I'm starting either

783
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake, Derrick Henry, Marquez Valdez Scantling, or Corey Davis. Well.

784
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 1: I happened to have a few of these guys in

785
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: my matchups, and the only one of those guys that

786
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: I gave a starting grade two is Derrick Henry. I'm

787
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: not feeling great about Marquez Velda's scantling now, and especially

788
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 1: if Cob comes back and plays, which you might. Yeah,

789
00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 1: And and Corey Davis is just in a tough spot too,

790
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:53,440
Speaker 1: so it's kind of gross. But it's Derrick Henry and

791
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: hoping for a touchdown. There might be something better on

792
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: your waiver wire that you can grab a Dontrell in

793
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 1: min type something like that. I like almost all of

794
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: our take a chance on me receivers better than the

795
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:07,720
Speaker 1: guys you're talking about, and runners for that matter. Okay, great,

796
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 1: and can I have one more quick one? Well, because

797
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:13,919
Speaker 1: it's not lightning round yes, Um, for quarterback, I'm either

798
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: starting Russell Wilson or Lamar Jackson. You're a Magnet's either

799
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: Watson or Jackson, or Watson, Jackson or Wilson. I've gotten

800
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: this like fourteen times. Do you know where I'm gonna

801
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: come in on this. I think I made my opinion

802
00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: on Lamar Jackson perfectly and uh, yeah, that four is high.

803
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 1: I'll put it this way. I feel like Wilson has

804
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 1: the safer floor is still uh, Jackson has the higher ceiling.

805
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,399
Speaker 1: If you feel like you're an underdog, shoot the moon

806
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:41,720
Speaker 1: with Jackson. But if you depends on what the score

807
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: and from your Thursday games are really does Um, yeah,

808
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 1: Jackson's got the higher ceiling. But it's it's virtually a

809
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: coin flip. But I'll concede to charge his number four

810
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 1: ranking of Lamar Jackson, which has to be higher than

811
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, I would imagine, right, Yes, yes, got it.

812
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 1: I'm playing for the point total lead. Okaya on the cheese.

813
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 1: You don't even need our help, Charles, go have fun

814
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 1: with Lamar Jackson because even if he flops against the Raiders, um,

815
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:12,960
Speaker 1: you know you're still fine. And he does have the

816
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 1: crazy upside that will make you jump out of your couch.

817
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 1: If he has a great game one on Sunday, which

818
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 1: we love, go have fun with him. Yeah, take him

819
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 1: out to the Santa Monica pier. Right, go hit skip

820
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,320
Speaker 1: some rocks. Isn't that Sunday boarding. I don't think I

821
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 1: actually want to go in the water. Okay, I don't think.

822
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: I don't think that's safe. When we come back, three

823
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,439
Speaker 1: hot questions for a panel of experts, you can play

824
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: along see if you can go three and oh. This

Speaker 1: you to check that out. It is time four Hot

836
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 1: question number one for the rest of the year, is

837
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:53,240
Speaker 1: Josh Reynolds a wide receiver. One wide receiver to flex

838
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 1: or bench Brian Well. Reynolds, essentially filling in for Cooper

839
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,719
Speaker 1: Cup has been put on I R and when Cup

840
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 1: was healthy this year. Earlier in the season, he was

841
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 1: a borderline wide receiver one, which means Reynolds is probably

842
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: easily a borderline wide receiver to um. I might even

843
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 1: gonna look at the rest of the rest of season

844
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 1: schedule because of the Chiefs are that I'm sorry, the

845
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 1: Rams are that good and their past defense is not

846
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:19,840
Speaker 1: that great, so opposing teams can put up points. There

847
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:21,799
Speaker 1: are a lot of mouths to feed in l A.

848
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,600
Speaker 1: But I am still gonna say wide receiver too, because

849
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,080
Speaker 1: if for whatever reason, the Rams need to rest players

850
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 1: down the stretch, I feel like Reynolds will not be

851
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,400
Speaker 1: one of those players as he continues to build chemistry

852
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 1: with Golf. So I'll go wide receiver to Matt. I

853
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,840
Speaker 1: got him out of flex because he's not Cooper Cup,

854
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 1: and I don't think we should pretend that he's just

855
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: like some sort of replacement for him. He does have

856
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: three touchdowns in the three games the Cup did not

857
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 1: play one of those games. He only had one catch

858
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 1: for nineteen yards. The next he had three catches for

859
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:53,320
Speaker 1: forty two yards and two and there were two short touchdowns,

860
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:55,360
Speaker 1: and the last was an impressive six for eight and

861
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 1: one and the mother of all shootouts against Kansas City.

862
00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:00,080
Speaker 1: He's not gonna be playing Kansas City like defense is

863
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 1: the rest of the way. This week, he gets a

864
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,919
Speaker 1: zero for his bye week. Then he's got Detroit, which

865
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 1: is a positive matchup, Chicago is a neutral matchup, Phillies

866
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: positive matchup, and then Arizona in your Week sixteen championship week,

867
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:16,359
Speaker 1: that's a negative matchup for him. So I just had

868
00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 1: him as a flex. All right. Well, let's first a

869
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,280
Speaker 1: couple of things. You know, he does not play Cooper

870
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:23,720
Speaker 1: Cup's role. They've moved Robert Woods into play the slot

871
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 1: and so he's playing outside. He got percent of the

872
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 1: snaps last week. Josh Reynolds did so on the field

873
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 1: virtually every play, and last week get targeted eight times

874
00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: in that new role. That was third most on the team.

875
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 1: Finished with the eight yards, second most on the team.

876
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,240
Speaker 1: When I look through the remaining schedule and I estimate

877
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 1: where he's going to grade out if I had the

878
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:47,760
Speaker 1: rams every week for the rest of the year, Detroit

879
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:51,359
Speaker 1: will be a B, Chicago will be a C. Philadelphia

880
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 1: might be an A the way their secondary is going.

881
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 1: And then in the Fantasy Championship, Patrick Peterson's gonna be

882
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,320
Speaker 1: on Brandon Cooks, so he's I think he's gonna be

883
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: absolutely started. There's gonna be gonna be grade that all

884
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 1: averages out to a B grade, which puts him Josh

885
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 1: Reynolds at a wide receiver to for the rest of

886
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 1: the year question number two. But the rest of the

887
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,440
Speaker 1: year is Gus Edwards a running back? One running back

888
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: to flex or bench? Matt I got him as a

889
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 1: running back too, and we've only seen one sample, one

890
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,800
Speaker 1: game sample size out of Gus Edwards, so I I

891
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,120
Speaker 1: like what I saw in the first game. But his

892
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 1: matchups are amazing and that's why he's in the In

893
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: the conversation for an RB to the rest of the way,

894
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: Oakland bottom ten versus running backs this week, Atlanta worst

895
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:42,479
Speaker 1: versus the running back, Kansas City second, Where's Tampa Bay fifth,

896
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 1: whereas Chargers eleventh worst. There's no stoppers in there, so

897
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: if Gus Edwards can hold onto that role, which I

898
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 1: think is there is a little bit of an if there,

899
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 1: I think he's an RB two. Okay, I don't have

900
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 1: much to add other than a different answer. It's an

901
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: amazing schedule, like Matt said, but I still have to

902
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 1: go Lex. I can't call Gus Edwards an RB two

903
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: moving forward, even though things are clicking with Lamar Jackson,

904
00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:07,839
Speaker 1: the more tape that piles up defenses will be able

905
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 1: to key in on that sort of pseudo option that

906
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 1: they're running. I just can't say Gus Edwards is an

907
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: RB two. So I'm just saying flex that's can't get yourself.

908
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 1: You know, I cannot do it, not on a half

909
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 1: of tape. I understand that. Um I watched all his

910
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 1: carries for the year, uh a couple of days ago,

911
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 1: and the kid looks pretty good. And I go back

912
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 1: to Alex Collins averaging just three and a half yards

913
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 1: per carry. He's hit four yards per carries, your general

914
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,719
Speaker 1: measuring stick on good and bad running backs, right, four

915
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:37,759
Speaker 1: yards per carry. He's hit four yards per carry in

916
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:41,239
Speaker 1: two games. It's week twelve, for Pete's sake. He's hit

917
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: it for two hit four yards per carry two times.

918
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,439
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be awfully easy to phase him out.

919
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 1: Of this um and I think it's awfully easy for

920
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:52,840
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards to cement his starter's role because he's got

921
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 1: Oakland Oakland such a bad, terrible run defense. I can

922
00:47:56,719 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 1: just cements it right here and he gets the job

923
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 1: the rest of the way. Nine The key is a

924
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:05,360
Speaker 1: solid RB two trending towards RB one, but correct answer

925
00:48:05,920 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 1: running back to seven's hot question number three. Now, the

926
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 1: full time starter in Tampa will Cameron Brad finishes a

927
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:18,279
Speaker 1: top five tight end or six through ten tight end

928
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 1: or lower than ten Bryan. Alright, So, since since the

929
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 1: start of last season, Brad has played in eighteen games

930
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 1: with Jamis Winston as quarterback and seven without Jamis. In

931
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:33,320
Speaker 1: the eighteen games with Winston, Brad is averaging three catches

932
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 1: per game for nearly forty yards and half a touchdown

933
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 1: per game. Not I popping numbers, right, but they are

934
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,439
Speaker 1: when you consider in the seven games without Winston, Brad

935
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 1: is averaging one and a half catches, thirteen yards and

936
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 1: zero point one four touchdown. Stu Beard hates him, so

937
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,720
Speaker 1: that that delta is significant, and it's a nice schedule

938
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 1: for Bright moving forward this week at San Francisco or

939
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,440
Speaker 1: San Francisco at home, Caroline at home is a very

940
00:48:54,440 --> 00:48:57,720
Speaker 1: plus matchup for tight ends. New Orleans sort of neutral.

941
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 1: Then at Baltimore seems scary, but as you said earlier, Church,

942
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:02,320
Speaker 1: they've allowed a tight end touchdown in three of the

943
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 1: last four, and then that Dallas in week sixteen is

944
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 1: a very positive matchup. I'm not going into week seventeen,

945
00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:08,839
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna go out on a whim and say

946
00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 1: top five tight end Cameron Bridd. Okay, Wow, Brian kind

947
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:16,319
Speaker 1: of mowed my lawn. But I came up with six

948
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: to ten just because I think that there's five tight

949
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 1: ends better than Cameron Braid. So are they, Uh, let's

950
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 1: go Kelsey, Urts Okay, Kittle, Kittle, and then probably ebron

951
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: And I like Vance McDonald. What about Cronk, No, I don't.

952
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: I don't like Gronk, but Gronk is probably in the

953
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 1: conversation with Cameron and Braid in the sixth to ten area,

954
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 1: and so I think Cameron Braid he's the guy. I

955
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:43,520
Speaker 1: think the angle you guys missed out on here and

956
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:47,720
Speaker 1: good analysis is if you add together Howard and Brad's

957
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 1: numbers together and knowing that their only other tight end

958
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 1: on roster. A guy named Alan Cross is a full

959
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:55,799
Speaker 1: time blocker. He has one catch. All he does is block.

960
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,719
Speaker 1: So I think it's fair to roll together Howard and

961
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: Braid or most of what they do together. If you

962
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:05,240
Speaker 1: roll their numbers together. On average this season, they average

963
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 1: five receptions, seventy two yards and almost a touchdown per game.

964
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 1: So who else is five receptions seventy two yards and

965
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:16,720
Speaker 1: almost a touchdown per game? We almost nobody, is the answer.

966
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: You're getting George Kittle's level of receptions and yards which

967
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 1: is crazy high, and Eric Ebrunn and Travis Kelsey's scores

968
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 1: at almost a touchdown. You're getting almost the best of

969
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:30,280
Speaker 1: both of all the best tight ends out there rolled

970
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 1: into one guy in Cameron Brad assuming they use them

971
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 1: like they've used Howard and and Uh and Braid in

972
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 1: the past. For that reason, he is a top five

973
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 1: tight end. The rest of the way, let's move on

974
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:46,360
Speaker 1: through our matchups, and we still have several left to

975
00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 1: get to, including Seattle taking on Carolina matt This is

976
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:57,120
Speaker 1: the Seattle running back situation, frustrating and inexplicable for many people.

977
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,279
Speaker 1: Try to make sense of it. For us, well, I

978
00:50:59,320 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 1: think Chris Carson re established himself as the top dog

979
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,319
Speaker 1: in that offense. He had seventeen carries for eighty three

980
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 1: yards in a score last week against Green Bay. That

981
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 1: was coming off of the injury. And remember Rashad Penny

982
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:13,319
Speaker 1: had the big game two weeks ago, but that's when

983
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: Carson was inactive. So Penny's a guy who's going to

984
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 1: be the change of pace back. He's gonna get eight

985
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:20,840
Speaker 1: touches per game. Carson is gonna be a guy getting

986
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 1: fifteen to twenty somewhere in there. And then they're gonna

987
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:26,640
Speaker 1: mix in Mike Davis as a receiving back sometimes too.

988
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 1: All that equals out Chris Carson getting a C and

989
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: Penny and Mike Davis on the bench. Because the Panthers

990
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 1: have given up a rushing score and three of their

991
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 1: last four games, but have only a lot of posing

992
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 1: backfields to top a hundred yards once in their last eight.

993
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 1: So Carson's just to see. Russell Wilson is a B

994
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 1: grade in this game. Prior to allowing one score to

995
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:48,359
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford last week, the Panthers had allowed eight straight

996
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 1: multi touchdown games to opposing quarterbacks, and the Panthers have

997
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:54,839
Speaker 1: the fifth highest blitz rate in the league. They're going

998
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 1: up against the top rated quarterback in the league against

999
00:51:57,120 --> 00:52:00,040
Speaker 1: the blitz that's Russell Wilson. So it's favoring Will in

1000
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:02,439
Speaker 1: a little bit here. He's thrown for two or three

1001
00:52:02,480 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 1: scores nine times this season nine times, nine times, but

1002
00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 1: he's only top three d yards once, so just to

1003
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:15,839
Speaker 1: beat it makes sense. Yeah, um, Tyler Lockett, I'm giving

1004
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:19,960
Speaker 1: him be and Doug Baldwin's seish grade if he goes,

1005
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,800
Speaker 1: but it doesn't look probable for him. And I'll mention

1006
00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:27,279
Speaker 1: this groin injuries on wide receivers, no boy, no bad deal.

1007
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 1: That's a bad combo. When you're a receiver, it's all

1008
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 1: about cutting. You can't cut on the groin injury. So

1009
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 1: I think you gotta show a lot of a lot

1010
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 1: of caution on Doug ball. I think Baldwin's ending up

1011
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:39,839
Speaker 1: on most people's benches. The problem is that he looked

1012
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,040
Speaker 1: last week and get it looks so good. I tweeted,

1013
00:52:43,120 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 1: finally we've got we've got like the healthy Doug Baldwin

1014
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 1: back because looking at that game, he looked fantastic. I

1015
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 1: forget the actual definition, but is it nut cutting time

1016
00:52:51,719 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 1: on Baldwin's groin injury. Yeah no, no, is it rusty.

1017
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:00,160
Speaker 1: If he's got a rusty groin, then yeah, so I

1018
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: think that's what we've learned, all right. So obviously Baldwin

1019
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 1: didn't practice all week. They're coming off the long week

1020
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 1: because they played Thursday last week. This is this isn't

1021
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 1: looking good. If he doesn't go, Locket takes over as

1022
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 1: the primary slot wide receiver, where the Panthers have been

1023
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 1: torched by the likes of Tyler Boyd, Juju, Adam Humphrey,

1024
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd, and Cole Beasley. Even if Lockett stays on

1025
00:53:19,560 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 1: the outside, he's still averaging a touchdown in every seven targets,

1026
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:26,120
Speaker 1: So I like Locket as a B grade. On the

1027
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:28,359
Speaker 1: other side, Cam gets an A. Seahawks have allowed three

1028
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:30,640
Speaker 1: hundred more passing yards and two touchdowns and three of

1029
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,759
Speaker 1: their last four calf He gets an A. In the

1030
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:37,000
Speaker 1: last six games CMCs thirty one targets, he's trailing Devin

1031
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:40,320
Speaker 1: Funches for the team lead by one. Speaking of punches,

1032
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:42,719
Speaker 1: he's missed that as doubtful. I don't think he's gonna go, right,

1033
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:47,759
Speaker 1: But you get Tori Smith back right excited? Oh yeah, no,

1034
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:49,719
Speaker 1: d j Moore is the only wide receiver you need

1035
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:51,799
Speaker 1: to consider her. He's just to see, why is he

1036
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,240
Speaker 1: just to see if Funchess is out and Tory Smith

1037
00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 1: sucks and they gotta pass to somebody, We're gonna pass

1038
00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 1: the McCaffrey and they're gonna pass the Olsen. I gave

1039
00:53:58,640 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 1: him a C grade because I mean, how about he's

1040
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,520
Speaker 1: been good for a month. He's been good. Only Julio

1041
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: Jones averages more yards per touch than more fifteen point seven.

1042
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 1: Three different wide receivers have topped eight yards against the

1043
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 1: Seahawks in the last two weeks, but that was the

1044
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: Rams and the Packers. So I think he's in the

1045
00:54:13,800 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 1: seventies yard range in this game. Maybe a coin flip

1046
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 1: at a touchdown. That's just the Sea grade for me.

1047
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:23,759
Speaker 1: I like, I like him better than you do. Yeah, yeah,

1048
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,839
Speaker 1: obviously do um Greg Olsen, I'm giving a B grade. Two.

1049
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:29,760
Speaker 1: He's caught every target thrown his way in home games

1050
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:31,719
Speaker 1: this year, they happened to be at home, and in

1051
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:34,799
Speaker 1: the last two weeks the Seattle defense has given up

1052
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:37,640
Speaker 1: every target has been caught by tight ends nine of

1053
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 1: nine against the Rams and Packers. So with Punchius out,

1054
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 1: I think Olsen becomes a focal point and I like

1055
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:46,279
Speaker 1: him as a b I gotta believe a lot of

1056
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 1: he's been Uh, he's been very inconsistent. Olsen has Yes,

1057
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 1: this might be a good time to get on board.

1058
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 1: Is he cheap on fanball, Brian? I bet he is.

1059
00:54:55,800 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 1: He's this week so all right, because he's an actual,

1060
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 1: like real tight end. As an actual real tight end,

1061
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:07,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sneak in one more matchup Arizona taking on

1062
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 1: the Chargers. There's only one chart Arizona player with a

1063
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 1: starting grade, and that's David Johnson, who has been basically

1064
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,879
Speaker 1: back to what we expected once Byron left, which took over,

1065
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 1: and he faces the Chargers defense, it's just middle of

1066
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:21,839
Speaker 1: the pack against running backs on the ground and very

1067
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 1: vulnerable through the air, where they've given up the third

1068
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:28,280
Speaker 1: most receiving yards and the fourth most receptions per game.

1069
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:31,840
Speaker 1: David Johnson a grade. Everybody else is on the bench

1070
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 1: for Josh Rosen. He's improved enough to be startable and

1071
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 1: easy matchups, so but this is not one of them.

1072
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 1: The Charges have allowed the fewest passing touchdowns over the

1073
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 1: last month he's on the bench. Larry Fitzgerald has a

1074
00:55:42,120 --> 00:55:45,880
Speaker 1: brutal draw against excellent slack cornerback Desmond King, who's allowed

1075
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:48,840
Speaker 1: just one touchdown in his coverage all season long. So

1076
00:55:48,880 --> 00:55:51,360
Speaker 1: I don't like him either in this game. And the

1077
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:54,280
Speaker 1: Chargers over the last five games ranked seventh in receiving

1078
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:57,319
Speaker 1: yards allowed to wide receivers. So Fitzgerald's out. And if

1079
00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:59,439
Speaker 1: I don't like Fitzgerald, that probably don't like Christian Cark.

1080
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:01,640
Speaker 1: And he's got even tougher matchup with Casey Hayward. So

1081
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 1: Casey Hayward's giving up an average of twenty one yards

1082
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 1: and his coverage Kirk is dead to us too. What

1083
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:09,719
Speaker 1: about Ricky Seals Jones, you might ask, well, Chargers are

1084
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:12,319
Speaker 1: a beat of old defense for tight ends, but Ricky

1085
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 1: Seals Jones is averaging two and a half receptions per game.

1086
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 1: You just can't get. You just can't get two good

1087
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 1: fantasy numbers on two and a half targets per games.

1088
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:22,839
Speaker 1: So that's it. They're all all the restaur out. Let's

1089
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 1: go to the Chargers side, where there's a few guys

1090
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:29,560
Speaker 1: to talk about more better. Um, Melvin Gordon's an obvious

1091
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,919
Speaker 1: a with the one caveat that he's got a He's

1092
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:35,799
Speaker 1: he has a true game time decision, and he's not,

1093
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 1: and what could otherwise be the best matchup of his

1094
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:42,240
Speaker 1: entire year against arguably the worst run defense in the NFL.

1095
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:46,440
Speaker 1: So if Gordon does go, absolutely start him. If he

1096
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 1: doesn't go, Austin Ekeler gets a huge upgrade, all the

1097
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:52,440
Speaker 1: way up from the bench level that I've got him

1098
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 1: at right now, all the way up to probably a

1099
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:58,280
Speaker 1: top ten running back. So I watched this one closely.

1100
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 1: If Eckler has been opped, and there's a decent chance

1101
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 1: he has been dropped because he's done nothing for like

1102
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:09,760
Speaker 1: six weeks, go get him now and watch this thing close.

1103
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 1: It's there's a real chance it's a it's a later

1104
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 1: afternoon game. There's a real chance that Gordon doesn't go

1105
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 1: and Ekeler gets the start in a awesome matchup. And

1106
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 1: if you're absolutely desperate, I think his name is Josh Jackson,

1107
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 1: who would be the backup running back if Gordon was

1108
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 1: on the bench in what appears to be a blowout

1109
00:57:28,280 --> 00:57:31,120
Speaker 1: on the horizon for he could be viable if you're

1110
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 1: maybe Ubert desperate, if you have no other there's not

1111
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 1: many in gigantic leagues. Yeah, let's talk about the passing

1112
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 1: game here, Philip Rivers, it's uh. He is the only

1113
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:42,320
Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFL with multiple touchdowns in every game.

1114
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:44,919
Speaker 1: It ends here. I'm calling my shot. This is gonna.

1115
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 1: This is the lowest ranking I have on Philip Rivers

1116
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 1: all season long. I've got him at quarterback fourteen right

1117
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:53,800
Speaker 1: now in a B grade. Potentially it comes to an

1118
00:57:53,880 --> 00:58:00,280
Speaker 1: end if if the Chargers hybrid safety slot corner guy

1119
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:04,600
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker does play. Now, if he doesn't play, then

1120
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 1: anything goes and then I'm I'm gonna move up. I'm

1121
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 1: gonna move Philip Rivers quite a bit up. But Buddha

1122
00:58:09,240 --> 00:58:12,280
Speaker 1: Baker is awesome, and he would take away largely neutralized

1123
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen in the slot and Tyrolle Williams may not

1124
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:17,400
Speaker 1: play in this game, and now we're running out of

1125
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 1: viable targets and so a lot of it really depends

1126
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 1: on Buddha Baker and if he goes. So, if Buddha

1127
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:26,920
Speaker 1: Baker is in, then I'm worried about Philip Rivers. And

1128
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 1: Buddha Baker's out, then I love Rivers and I'm gonna

1129
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 1: move him up to an A. So and I don't

1130
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 1: know yet and we're not gonna know until kickoffs. So

1131
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:34,200
Speaker 1: that's so if you really care about Philip Rivers, then

1132
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:36,480
Speaker 1: you really care about Buddha Baker, because that brings us

1133
00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 1: to Keenan Allen, who has been good lately, who has

1134
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 1: scored or clips the one yard mark in three straight games.

1135
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 1: But if Baker's plays, I think it's just a B

1136
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 1: grade on on Alan. If Baker is if if Baker

1137
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 1: is out, then Keenan Allen goes right to an A

1138
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:54,600
Speaker 1: grade as he would face ben A ben Wickery. You

1139
00:58:54,640 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 1: may recall that Kristin Peterson wants verbed ben a ben Wicker. Yeah,

1140
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:00,680
Speaker 1: you don't want to be ben Wicker rise, dude, you

1141
00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 1: never want to be ben Wicker rised. And there is

1142
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:06,360
Speaker 1: a chance that that was benwick Rice himself. It was Julio.

1143
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 1: It was like, thank yeah, that's if it. I'd like

1144
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:15,400
Speaker 1: to see Keenan Allen hit the three hundred. Don't been

1145
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:18,600
Speaker 1: to benapen Wickery and he could do it twice. Man,

1146
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:21,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't that be fun? All right? Last guy I mentioned,

1147
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 1: Tyroll Williams may not play, and even if he does,

1148
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:27,720
Speaker 1: he's totally touchdown dependent and he probably draws Patrick Peterson.

1149
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 1: So he's dead to us two and again that brings

1150
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:33,040
Speaker 1: me back to Philip Rivers. If we don't love Keenan

1151
00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:35,720
Speaker 1: Allen and Tyroll Williams is injured and he's got Patrick

1152
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:37,440
Speaker 1: Peterson anyway, I don't know. I don't know where the

1153
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:39,880
Speaker 1: passes go, so I get a little bit worried. Maybe

1154
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:43,120
Speaker 1: Mike Williams. But that's that's it. When we come back,

1155
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: another set of matchups, including Cleveland taking on Cincinnati. Here's

1156
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 1: two slumping defenses and a lot of opportunities for sleepers.

1157
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:53,000
Speaker 1: Will tell you what to do with guys like Nick

1158
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 1: Chubb when we come back. This is Fantasy Green Bell

1159
00:59:57,520 --> 01:00:08,680
Speaker 1: Premium on the Fan. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly Week

1160
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 1: number twelve. Fault Charchie and Brian Johnson, Matt Harrison with you.

1161
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us again. If you if you

1162
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 1: listen to the show on the podcast, please take a

1163
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:22,280
Speaker 1: moment to review and rate the show. Let's help others

1164
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 1: around the country find it. It's it's something of an

1165
01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 1: institution here after twenty four years in the locally in

1166
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:30,640
Speaker 1: the Twin Cities, but the rest of the country doesn't

1167
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:34,040
Speaker 1: have an opportunity here except to the podcast or streaming online.

1168
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 1: And that certainly helps, so we we thank people who

1169
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:38,440
Speaker 1: do that. What are we gonna do for the silver

1170
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:41,480
Speaker 1: anniversary next year? It's a good point. It is silver, right,

1171
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:45,720
Speaker 1: so should we mince some silver coins to commemorate it.

1172
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 1: I wasn't going that far though. I like the idea

1173
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 1: of a foundry at your house, silver bars of some kind.

1174
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:56,440
Speaker 1: Maybe it's just my hair will be yet more silver.

1175
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 1: Maybe that'll be to Maybe that's the angle, okay for

1176
01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 1: our SILVERI and we'll have to we do need to

1177
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 1: come up with something. A quarter of a century of

1178
01:01:03,680 --> 01:01:08,200
Speaker 1: the show. That fantasy foot Camp's gotta be nuts, I hope.

1179
01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:10,600
Speaker 1: So we gotta do something special. Yeah, we really should.

1180
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 1: It's cannon or something. Hi ho silver maybe, um, maybe

1181
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:17,680
Speaker 1: we need to have horses Canterbury. We should get all

1182
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:21,480
Speaker 1: the white horses with silver. A white horse, I assume. So,

1183
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. I never watched the show, but I

1184
01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 1: assume something something cowboy related. The Lone Ranger. I think

1185
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 1: it was the Lone Ranger. That's that's before my time,

1186
01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 1: before my time too. I'm older than you guys. Let's

1187
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:42,560
Speaker 1: go back to the matchups. Uh, Cleveland taking on Cincinnati

1188
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:44,920
Speaker 1: Brian Nick Chubb has been great and this is a

1189
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 1: terrific matchup, and I think he's a pretty easy A.

1190
01:01:47,880 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm more interested in what you have to say about

1191
01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:52,479
Speaker 1: the passing game. And if there's some angles here, let's

1192
01:01:52,560 --> 01:01:54,840
Speaker 1: uh and I'll set it up this way. A. J.

1193
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 1: Green downgraded too doubtful, so plan to not have him.

1194
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:02,520
Speaker 1: But also, Drake Kirkpatrick, starting cornerback for the Bengals, is

1195
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:05,280
Speaker 1: not expected to play in this game for an already

1196
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:13,280
Speaker 1: really really bad secondary something called kaiv A Russell could

1197
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:15,760
Speaker 1: be your starting cornerback. Well, I don't know where you

1198
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 1: want me to start now, And let's start with a

1199
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 1: little reality football talk. Cleveland going into this game has

1200
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:27,680
Speaker 1: lost twenty five straight road games. They lose this game,

1201
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 1: they will tie the record set by the Detroit Lions

1202
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:36,240
Speaker 1: from two thousand and seven. Certain little motivated, but they're

1203
01:02:36,240 --> 01:02:39,160
Speaker 1: gonna win. It's Christmas time now, so let's just start

1204
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 1: with jolly st Nick Chubb here. And here's the stat

1205
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:46,800
Speaker 1: that illustrates how Chubb rises to the occasion and stands

1206
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:51,480
Speaker 1: tall against stuffed boxes. When facing eight or more defenders

1207
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:54,720
Speaker 1: in the box, Chubb is averaging an insane eight point

1208
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 1: two yards per Carrie really he's snuffing that against stuff boxes.

1209
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 1: That's the stat from Graham Barfield. Very appreciative that one.

1210
01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:06,800
Speaker 1: And uh yeah, chubbing easy a in this matchup Duke Johnson,

1211
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 1: this can't give him a c here has been pretty

1212
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:12,040
Speaker 1: hot recently, but m and even though Football Outsiders has

1213
01:03:12,080 --> 01:03:15,080
Speaker 1: since he ranked dead last in defending running backs as receivers,

1214
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 1: which would suggest this to say could match up. It would,

1215
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 1: but only four running backs have caught at least five

1216
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:23,400
Speaker 1: passes against the Bengals, and only one running back has

1217
01:03:23,440 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 1: topped sixty receiving yards, and that's when Kenyan Drake had

1218
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:29,240
Speaker 1: seven for sixty nine nice yards and a touchdown. But

1219
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:30,880
Speaker 1: so just to see for Johnson and this one, I

1220
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 1: like Landry a whole lot more Jarvis that is going

1221
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:35,640
Speaker 1: to give him an a here despite yardage totals of

1222
01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:38,720
Speaker 1: twenty two, fifty and thirty nine over his last three

1223
01:03:38,760 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 1: games with zero touchdowns. Pretty gross, but Cincinnati obviously reeling

1224
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:46,200
Speaker 1: on defense and slot received slot receivers have had success

1225
01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:49,160
Speaker 1: against the Bengals as of late. Really Snead, Adam Humphreys,

1226
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:53,080
Speaker 1: Tyreek Kill, Juju, Mohammed Sanu all big games. So Jarvis

1227
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 1: Landry in line for one as well. David and Joku

1228
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 1: gonna give him a BE despite being questionable. He seems

1229
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:01,880
Speaker 1: more like probable than question here since he allowing roughly

1230
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 1: fifty yards and half a touchdown to opposing tight ends.

1231
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:07,560
Speaker 1: But they've really faced a stars and scrubs list of

1232
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 1: tight ends thus far, the quote unquote stars or really

1233
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:13,680
Speaker 1: like the more comparable notework noteworthy tight ends I've done

1234
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:16,080
Speaker 1: well against since the lebron a tron had four for

1235
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:19,160
Speaker 1: fifty one to touchdown, Jack Doyle seven for sixty Vance

1236
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:22,880
Speaker 1: McDonald seven for sixty eight, Kelsey five O. J. Howard scored.

1237
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:25,920
Speaker 1: So when Joeco startable with a B and Baker Mayfield

1238
01:04:26,840 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 1: is Matt's take a chance of a quarterback? I was

1239
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:30,600
Speaker 1: gonna give him an A, so I'll give it. I'll

1240
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:32,440
Speaker 1: give him a C. I guess for that reason, I'm

1241
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:33,880
Speaker 1: sorry I had to throw under the blank. That was

1242
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:36,480
Speaker 1: an easy one. Very nice play our call on Mayfield.

1243
01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:41,160
Speaker 1: There over to the sinc side A J. Green news

1244
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:44,080
Speaker 1: unlikely to play now we'll never No one expects him

1245
01:04:44,120 --> 01:04:45,560
Speaker 1: to play this. No, he's not playing, so he is

1246
01:04:45,600 --> 01:04:48,080
Speaker 1: not playing, which doesn't really bode well for Tyler Boyd.

1247
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:50,520
Speaker 1: He's done much better with Green in the lineup. He

1248
01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:53,200
Speaker 1: still has a safe PPR floor, as he's posted double

1249
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 1: digit points in both the games without Green in the lineup,

1250
01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:59,000
Speaker 1: and the Browns are top six and targets, red zone

1251
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:02,560
Speaker 1: targets and red zone touches yielded to opposing wide receivers.

1252
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:04,800
Speaker 1: So Boyd still gets to be here, and with no

1253
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:08,440
Speaker 1: A J. Green, that bumps up John Ross into starting territory.

1254
01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 1: I feel like the soft sea Uh was targeted seven

1255
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: times and caught a touchdown against Baltimore last week, a

1256
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:17,680
Speaker 1: much tougher matchup than the Browns, So I'll give Ross

1257
01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:20,960
Speaker 1: a C. But C J Uzoma the US has really

1258
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:23,479
Speaker 1: fallen off. I'm gonna put him on the bench here. Uh.

1259
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 1: A J's absence has not done him any favors either,

1260
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:28,360
Speaker 1: and there are at least fifteen other tight ends. I'd

1261
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:31,120
Speaker 1: start over Ouzy this week and Andy Dalton gonna give

1262
01:05:31,200 --> 01:05:33,680
Speaker 1: him a c. Uh. He's struggled without A J. Green

1263
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:35,760
Speaker 1: as well. Has combined for just three and sixty four

1264
01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:37,840
Speaker 1: yards and three touchdowns in the two games without Green.

1265
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 1: He was posting those numbers in one game with A J.

1266
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 1: So just to see for him, but in a for

1267
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:45,920
Speaker 1: mixing U Joe Mixon coming off back to back brutal

1268
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:48,640
Speaker 1: matchups against the Saints and Ravens. Quite the different story

1269
01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:51,520
Speaker 1: with Cleveland, who has allowed fifty one runs of ten

1270
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 1: or more yards, the most in the league, and they've

1271
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:57,360
Speaker 1: allowed twelve rushing touchdowns alone to running back. So mixing

1272
01:05:57,400 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 1: gets an A yeah, I like, I do like mixing here.

1273
01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:01,520
Speaker 1: I've your offensive line is playing a little better and

1274
01:06:01,560 --> 01:06:03,760
Speaker 1: they've been banged up some, but nevertheless it feels like

1275
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:05,400
Speaker 1: a good play. But the whole offense is not the

1276
01:06:05,440 --> 01:06:08,240
Speaker 1: same without a J Green for sure. How about this?

1277
01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:10,800
Speaker 1: Hugh Jackson is going to be on the other side

1278
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:13,400
Speaker 1: of the field as Cleveland ends the futility streak that

1279
01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 1: he was personally responsible for. Isn't that just delicious? Cleveland?

1280
01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:22,600
Speaker 1: Everyone's pulling for Cleveland. Everybody's pulled I am, even Bengals

1281
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:25,480
Speaker 1: fans probably if probably, are there any of those Bengals

1282
01:06:25,480 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 1: still in the playoff hunt? They're always in the hunt.

1283
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:29,600
Speaker 1: They're always in the hunt. Well, last year, they weren't.

1284
01:06:29,880 --> 01:06:31,520
Speaker 1: Last they weren't even in it. They weren't even in

1285
01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:35,200
Speaker 1: the hunt. Tennessee takes on Houston, Matt This is uh,

1286
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:39,080
Speaker 1: this is a matchup between a swamping Tennessee offense and

1287
01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:41,479
Speaker 1: a surge in Houston defense. And I don't like many

1288
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:44,200
Speaker 1: players from the Tennessee side. Yeah, I don't either. I

1289
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:48,720
Speaker 1: get I give a tepid Derrick Henry C grade uh

1290
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:50,680
Speaker 1: for him he might take a chance on me runner,

1291
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 1: And then I gave Dion Lewis a C grade as well.

1292
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:56,080
Speaker 1: After back to back twenty touch games, Lewis only tally

1293
01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:59,120
Speaker 1: eleven touches for thirty two combined yards last week against

1294
01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:01,919
Speaker 1: Indie and mentioned that the touchdowns the Texans have given

1295
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 1: up in the Henry take a chance on me segment.

1296
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:09,439
Speaker 1: They've also allowed five running back receiving touchdowns on the year.

1297
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:13,280
Speaker 1: That's the second most in the NFL. So the angle

1298
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:15,000
Speaker 1: and the only reason I think there's what do you

1299
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:17,680
Speaker 1: give him a SE grade? Yeah? See grade on Lewis,

1300
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:21,800
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota and Blaine Gabbert. Whichever one ends up starting,

1301
01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:23,880
Speaker 1: it sounds like it's gonna be Mariota, but they're both

1302
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:26,800
Speaker 1: on the bench. He exited last week's game with what's

1303
01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 1: what was described as a next stinger. Either way, it's

1304
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:31,960
Speaker 1: a bad matchup. The Texans are allowing the sixth fewest

1305
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:34,680
Speaker 1: passing yards per game this season and have not allowed

1306
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:37,880
Speaker 1: a rushing touchdown to a quarterback all year. UH. That

1307
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:40,080
Speaker 1: means Corey Davis and the rest of the receivers around

1308
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:42,640
Speaker 1: the bench. The Texans haven't allowed a wide receiver score

1309
01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 1: in four games, and the last time they played each other,

1310
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:47,880
Speaker 1: Davis had a meager five catches for fifty five yards.

1311
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:50,560
Speaker 1: If you need a dart throw on some sort of

1312
01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:53,920
Speaker 1: Tennessee receiver, it's John wu Smith the tight end. Uh.

1313
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:57,720
Speaker 1: He's been teetering on top ten tight end points in

1314
01:07:57,760 --> 01:08:01,440
Speaker 1: the last month, and the Texans have allowed eighteen receptions

1315
01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:04,520
Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns to opposing tight ends in just

1316
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:07,880
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. So if anything, and you need

1317
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:10,360
Speaker 1: a guy desperately because this is the Monday night game

1318
01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:14,680
Speaker 1: and somebody came up lame, he's flexible. I guess I

1319
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:16,960
Speaker 1: have to start him in my league with Kelsey. Yeah.

1320
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:19,560
Speaker 1: Over on the other side, DeAndre Hopkins is an obvious A,

1321
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:23,040
Speaker 1: Demarius Thomas is an obvious bench and Kiki Cutie is

1322
01:08:23,040 --> 01:08:25,360
Speaker 1: a C grade. In his return last week, he had

1323
01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:28,160
Speaker 1: thirty seven and a half percent of the team's targets.

1324
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:32,080
Speaker 1: In his fourth games, he scored or topped seventy five

1325
01:08:32,160 --> 01:08:34,719
Speaker 1: yards in three of them, and over the last month,

1326
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:37,880
Speaker 1: Tennessee is allowing two receiving yards per game to wide

1327
01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:40,960
Speaker 1: receivers and almost two touchdowns per game. So there's plenty

1328
01:08:41,040 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 1: to go around between Hopkins and Cutie, and Cutie's large

1329
01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:46,960
Speaker 1: is largely unowned, right I mean it? Not? Well, that's

1330
01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:49,639
Speaker 1: that's a stretch went up, down, up and down because

1331
01:08:49,640 --> 01:08:52,759
Speaker 1: he's been injured a few times. So, uh, Deshaun Watson,

1332
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:56,720
Speaker 1: I'm giving only a C grade too. He's yeah, he's

1333
01:08:56,720 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 1: a high upside play here, as evidenced by his five

1334
01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:02,559
Speaker 1: touchdown first in Week eight against Miami. Look at this.

1335
01:09:03,360 --> 01:09:05,960
Speaker 1: Outside of that game, he's thrown for one or two

1336
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:09,240
Speaker 1: touchdowns in every game. Like you said, oh I heard

1337
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:13,800
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins Watts, Sorry, never mind, I should never be

1338
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:18,240
Speaker 1: able to get those two straight. Okay, alright, se grade

1339
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:23,200
Speaker 1: on you. If I could do a wah backwards, that

1340
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:26,240
Speaker 1: would be it. So Watson one or two touchdowns in

1341
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:28,960
Speaker 1: every game hasn't top two or thirty nine passing yards

1342
01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:31,639
Speaker 1: in his last five outings. In those last five games,

1343
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 1: he's only topped fourteen rushing yards once, and he's only

1344
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:37,479
Speaker 1: got one rushing touchdown on the season, so he's only

1345
01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:40,519
Speaker 1: a C grade. I'll jump in on Watson. The problem

1346
01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:45,840
Speaker 1: for Watson is volume. He hasn't topped twenty five passes

1347
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:50,679
Speaker 1: in five straight games, and you just you can't. They're

1348
01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:53,800
Speaker 1: just not throwing. No, I mean nobody, not even Andrew Luck.

1349
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:56,280
Speaker 1: They're not throwing and he's not running, so he's he's

1350
01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:58,880
Speaker 1: not getting points. You just hit soon your quarterback. To

1351
01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:02,439
Speaker 1: get it can distant high level of fantasy production. You

1352
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:03,960
Speaker 1: have to throw more than twenty five times, and he

1353
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:06,880
Speaker 1: never does. They never led him. Last guy i'll mention

1354
01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:09,559
Speaker 1: is Lamar Miller. He's on the bench. Only one team

1355
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:11,680
Speaker 1: has topped a hundred yards against the Titans in their

1356
01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:14,679
Speaker 1: last five, and that was Indianapolis last week. In that game,

1357
01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:17,479
Speaker 1: Marlon Mack did score, but it took him sixteen carries

1358
01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:20,960
Speaker 1: to get a poultry sixty one yards. In their first meeting,

1359
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:23,840
Speaker 1: Miller was held to sixty eight scoreless yards. He's only

1360
01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:25,600
Speaker 1: scored on the ground twice this year, and it's a

1361
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 1: tough matchup. He's on your bench. This is Fantasy Football

01:10:50,439 --> 01:10:52,920
Speaker 1: too early? What what are we doing? What's what's after this?

1366
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:58,840
Speaker 1: We got Gophers pregames starting at alright, fantastic. Uh, well

1367
01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:01,719
Speaker 1: you will want to stay tune for that finals final

1368
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:05,679
Speaker 1: premature speculation of the year. Yes, Brian, if they beat us, Uh,

1369
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:08,160
Speaker 1: they're gonna keep the ax, but they're gonna take our

1370
01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:12,840
Speaker 1: oars to Yes, they they can have the ars um.

1371
01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:15,000
Speaker 1: That ax is really big. It could double as an

1372
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:19,240
Speaker 1: order um final premature speculation for two reasons. One, it

1373
01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:22,639
Speaker 1: starts being being increasingly meaningless as the season goes on,

1374
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:25,240
Speaker 1: but also because beginning next year when any teams on

1375
01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:27,400
Speaker 1: by frankly, we just need the time to get to

1376
01:11:27,439 --> 01:11:29,760
Speaker 1: all the matchups and get all the matchups in so

1377
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:35,519
Speaker 1: final premature speculation, Brian, go alright, whether you're a Todd

1378
01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:38,439
Speaker 1: Gurley owner or not, let's go out and grab Malcolm Brown,

1379
01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:42,040
Speaker 1: the backup running back in l A averaging five yards

1380
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:44,280
Speaker 1: per carry on forty one carries this here. Uh. And

1381
01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:46,960
Speaker 1: if you hadn't notice until yesterday, I hadn't. Gurley has

1382
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:50,160
Speaker 1: top six team carries just once in his last five games. Yeah,

1383
01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:52,000
Speaker 1: they're trying. They're trying to save him for the playoffs

1384
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:53,960
Speaker 1: a little bit. And here's the scenario that's scary. They

1385
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:55,920
Speaker 1: have the same record with the Saints, who owned the

1386
01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:58,840
Speaker 1: ty tiebreaker because they beat the Rams. The Rams are

1387
01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:02,360
Speaker 1: at Detroit next week, probably win, but then on the

1388
01:12:02,439 --> 01:12:05,799
Speaker 1: road again at Chicago that which is a tough one.

1389
01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:08,599
Speaker 1: Next two games for Saints not too tough. So if

1390
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:12,360
Speaker 1: if point being, if the Rams lose that Chicago game

1391
01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:15,000
Speaker 1: and the Saints when they're next to they're shutting it

1392
01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:18,400
Speaker 1: down because they will essentially clinch the not getting the

1393
01:12:18,479 --> 01:12:20,920
Speaker 1: number one So then you're looking at backups going into

1394
01:12:20,960 --> 01:12:25,200
Speaker 1: week fifteen. I don't think they can clinch that early though.

1395
01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 1: I think their clinches like maybe sixteen for the championship

1396
01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:31,120
Speaker 1: game pretty much. If the garantee they're not gonna get

1397
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:33,320
Speaker 1: the number one seed if they lose. If the Bears

1398
01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:35,720
Speaker 1: beat the Rams, then the Bears hold the tiebreaker and

1399
01:12:35,720 --> 01:12:39,160
Speaker 1: the Rams would only be one game up. Is probably good.

1400
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:44,080
Speaker 1: Matt Mind's a lot quicker. It's time Montgomery Packer fans

1401
01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:47,840
Speaker 1: may remember him. He's now a Baltimore Raven reason. Gus

1402
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:52,840
Speaker 1: Edwards has one career catch Wow. Next week time Montgomery

1403
01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:56,759
Speaker 1: gets the Falcons, the epically bad past receiving running against

1404
01:12:56,880 --> 01:13:00,320
Speaker 1: running backs defense the Atlanta Falcons. The week after at

1405
01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:03,200
Speaker 1: he gets the Chiefs and they're almost as bad. They've

1406
01:13:03,240 --> 01:13:06,679
Speaker 1: allowed the second most receptions to running backs, the most yards,

1407
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:09,080
Speaker 1: and the most touchdowns to opposing runners through the air.

1408
01:13:09,479 --> 01:13:13,519
Speaker 1: So I'm not really worried about Javorious buck Allen, who

1409
01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:16,760
Speaker 1: shaved charges Amster long ago. He did time Montgomery might

1410
01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:18,880
Speaker 1: come in and be the receiving back here and let's

1411
01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:21,800
Speaker 1: give a shot. All right, Um, I am going with

1412
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:25,280
Speaker 1: Dante Pettis the wide receiver, and this is more for

1413
01:13:25,360 --> 01:13:27,600
Speaker 1: Dynasty and Empire leagues really, so let me let me

1414
01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:29,680
Speaker 1: clarify for the rest of the season, I don't really

1415
01:13:29,680 --> 01:13:32,080
Speaker 1: care about Dante Pettis. I'm talking to you guys that

1416
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:37,599
Speaker 1: are in Dynasty and Empire leagues. A two things. Number One,

1417
01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:41,120
Speaker 1: Cal Shanahan is totally legit as an offensive coach, and

1418
01:13:41,160 --> 01:13:43,400
Speaker 1: that nine Ers offense is going to continue to only

1419
01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:46,639
Speaker 1: get better. Jimmy Garoppolo coming back, they're gonna be They're

1420
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:49,280
Speaker 1: gonna watch their hands of pre Garson. You're gonna watch

1421
01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:52,800
Speaker 1: the starting wide receiver for the forty Niners and that

1422
01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:56,280
Speaker 1: at Week one next year it's gonna be Goodwin and

1423
01:13:56,360 --> 01:13:59,080
Speaker 1: Dante Pettis just to pile on a little bit. They

1424
01:13:59,160 --> 01:14:00,960
Speaker 1: moved up to get at him in the second round

1425
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:03,320
Speaker 1: of the draft. They wanted Pettis, and he had a

1426
01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:05,960
Speaker 1: great first game with Garoppolo and he got injured in

1427
01:14:05,960 --> 01:14:07,840
Speaker 1: the second game on like a thirty yard catch. So

1428
01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:09,280
Speaker 1: it was off to a great start and he's just

1429
01:14:09,360 --> 01:14:11,280
Speaker 1: come back. I love it. So I know all your

1430
01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:13,800
Speaker 1: Dynasty and Empire leaguers, some of you are out of

1431
01:14:13,840 --> 01:14:16,080
Speaker 1: it and you can afford to, you know, just start thinking.

1432
01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:18,800
Speaker 1: You're already thinking about next year, regardless if you're in

1433
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:21,320
Speaker 1: or out of it. Dante Pettis is one of my

1434
01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:25,200
Speaker 1: favorite stashes for nineteen. Go get him now. You could

1435
01:14:25,240 --> 01:14:28,320
Speaker 1: start him against Tampa Bay this week. I thought he

1436
01:14:28,439 --> 01:14:30,240
Speaker 1: was almost might take a chance of me receive this,

1437
01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:35,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, go get him. Um final matchup is Vikings

1438
01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:39,400
Speaker 1: versus Packers on Sunday night. Flipping pages to get to

1439
01:14:39,439 --> 01:14:43,040
Speaker 1: that one, we begin with Aaron Rodgers. The Vikings secondary's

1440
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:46,000
Speaker 1: been terrific for five straight games, giving up get this

1441
01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:51,200
Speaker 1: one ninety four yards and zero point six touchdowns. Per

1442
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:55,600
Speaker 1: game one six and zero point six. Wow. In the

1443
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:58,000
Speaker 1: first meeting this season between the teams, Rogers was held

1444
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:00,839
Speaker 1: to just two eighteen yards in one score. Now, in fairness,

1445
01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:03,479
Speaker 1: he was playing that game on half a knee, but still,

1446
01:15:03,880 --> 01:15:05,800
Speaker 1: but you need to Any time you can keep Aaron

1447
01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:09,559
Speaker 1: Rodgers full game plus overtime eighteen yards in one score,

1448
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:12,920
Speaker 1: you've done something right. And going back, Rogers has thrown

1449
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:15,479
Speaker 1: zero or one touchdowns and four out of the last

1450
01:15:15,479 --> 01:15:19,040
Speaker 1: five against Minnesota, and either Jimmy Graham won't play or

1451
01:15:19,080 --> 01:15:20,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna try to play with some kind of contraption

1452
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:23,840
Speaker 1: around his thumb to try to protect it, so he's

1453
01:15:23,840 --> 01:15:26,759
Speaker 1: short of receiver there too. So oh no. The best

1454
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:29,040
Speaker 1: I can muster for Aaron Rodgers is a B grade,

1455
01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:31,640
Speaker 1: and that's mostly just because he's the best quarterback in

1456
01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:35,160
Speaker 1: the NFL. I could if here anybody else's name on this,

1457
01:15:35,240 --> 01:15:37,600
Speaker 1: he would probably be a C grade. Let's go to

1458
01:15:37,640 --> 01:15:41,920
Speaker 1: his receivers. Davante Adams gets another it's another just respect grade.

1459
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:44,360
Speaker 1: He gets an A grade here, but he gets Xavier

1460
01:15:44,439 --> 01:15:46,400
Speaker 1: Rhodes for most of this game, and Xavier has been

1461
01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:50,120
Speaker 1: great lately. He's limited receivers to thirty seven or fewer

1462
01:15:50,200 --> 01:15:55,280
Speaker 1: yards in his coverage in four straight games. UM. That said,

1463
01:15:55,320 --> 01:15:57,200
Speaker 1: he has given up a season high nine catches for

1464
01:15:57,320 --> 01:16:00,639
Speaker 1: seventy five yards against the Packers. Are the Packers UH.

1465
01:16:00,720 --> 01:16:03,599
Speaker 1: Davante Adams had a season high nine catches seventy five

1466
01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:06,439
Speaker 1: yards against the Vikings in in in UH in week

1467
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:10,080
Speaker 1: number two, and he's been basically beating the opposing team's

1468
01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:12,800
Speaker 1: best coverage all season long. So Davante Adams remains in

1469
01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:15,559
Speaker 1: a all the rest of the receivers are on the bench.

1470
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:18,200
Speaker 1: Marcus Velda Scandling may or may not play in the

1471
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:20,479
Speaker 1: slot again, but then the Randall Cobb is up to

1472
01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:23,839
Speaker 1: questionable and he might split time. And then Marcus Vandis

1473
01:16:24,040 --> 01:16:26,880
Speaker 1: Scandling wasn't getting any activity anyway since he moved to

1474
01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:30,840
Speaker 1: the slot, so he's dead to us and y Marques

1475
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:36,519
Speaker 1: Valdez Scantling vs mvs UM. Let's talk about the running

1476
01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:39,599
Speaker 1: back situation. I love Aaron Jones and he's been great,

1477
01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:42,240
Speaker 1: but the Vikings very tough to run upon as well.

1478
01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:45,600
Speaker 1: They've given up two rushing touchdowns all year. That's it

1479
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:48,280
Speaker 1: right now, That's number one in the NFL. It had

1480
01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:50,000
Speaker 1: been had been the Bears, where they gave up a

1481
01:16:50,040 --> 01:16:53,040
Speaker 1: couple of them to get on yes two days ago

1482
01:16:53,600 --> 01:16:55,360
Speaker 1: um and the Vikings are giving up just three point

1483
01:16:55,400 --> 01:16:58,160
Speaker 1: six yards per carry, so now he does have an

1484
01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:01,000
Speaker 1: angle through the air. The Vikings um aren't as good.

1485
01:17:01,040 --> 01:17:04,080
Speaker 1: They're his targets. Receptions and receiving yards have increased in

1486
01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:06,880
Speaker 1: each of the past four weeks for Aaron Jones, culminating

1487
01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:09,639
Speaker 1: in sixty three yards and score last week the Vikings

1488
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:13,200
Speaker 1: ranked twenty four and running back receptions and and they

1489
01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:16,240
Speaker 1: do get Anthony Barr back though, and that should help.

1490
01:17:16,479 --> 01:17:18,120
Speaker 1: I think he'll pick up Aaron Jones out of the

1491
01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:20,240
Speaker 1: backfield a lot. But that's why he gets a B

1492
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:22,639
Speaker 1: grade is because of what he could do through the air,

1493
01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:24,599
Speaker 1: more so than what he would do on the ground.

1494
01:17:24,720 --> 01:17:28,559
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Viking side. Kirk Cousins gets a

1495
01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:31,160
Speaker 1: B grade in this game. Let me let's note that

1496
01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:33,840
Speaker 1: the Green Bay secondary has just taken a beating with

1497
01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:37,400
Speaker 1: injuries Kevin King, Kentro, Bryce, Raven Green, but Shot Brelan

1498
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:40,719
Speaker 1: all or some of them will miss game this game.

1499
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:43,040
Speaker 1: And I don't know yet all of them yet except

1500
01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:45,160
Speaker 1: I think Raven Green has been ruled out. I think

1501
01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:47,560
Speaker 1: the rest are all shaping up his game time decisions.

1502
01:17:47,920 --> 01:17:50,120
Speaker 1: It's um it could be a very good opportunity for

1503
01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:52,479
Speaker 1: a bounce back game for Cousins against a bunch of

1504
01:17:52,479 --> 01:17:56,439
Speaker 1: second stringers. UM Since Week four, though cousins average game

1505
01:17:56,520 --> 01:17:58,000
Speaker 1: is just two undred sixty yards and one and a

1506
01:17:58,040 --> 01:18:00,559
Speaker 1: half touchdowns and obviously coming out of a bad game

1507
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:04,000
Speaker 1: in Chicago, still a B grade for Cousins. A grade

1508
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:08,000
Speaker 1: for Stefen Diggs after a career high eighteen targets last week,

1509
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:10,400
Speaker 1: He's now just one of four NFL receivers to get

1510
01:18:10,400 --> 01:18:13,240
Speaker 1: double digit targets and at least seven different games, and

1511
01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:16,519
Speaker 1: that kind of volume generally makes Diggs very safe. They'll

1512
01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:18,880
Speaker 1: see a lot of the Packers rookie JR. Alexander, who

1513
01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:22,200
Speaker 1: is their best cornerback, but it's still a plus matchup

1514
01:18:22,240 --> 01:18:25,640
Speaker 1: for Stefon Diggs against the rookie Adam Theeland also in

1515
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:28,559
Speaker 1: a grade. Three of Theland's last four games against Green

1516
01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:31,360
Speaker 1: Bay have been very good with at least nineties seven yards,

1517
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:34,240
Speaker 1: including his massive Week two game where he had twelve

1518
01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:37,120
Speaker 1: catches hundred thirty one yards in a score. And now

1519
01:18:37,160 --> 01:18:40,719
Speaker 1: with JR. Alexander moving to the outside, that puts Bishot

1520
01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:45,200
Speaker 1: Breland and if he can even play into the nickel spot,

1521
01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:49,080
Speaker 1: assuming that Breland can go, and even if Briland does go,

1522
01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:52,320
Speaker 1: he's a subpart starter. So Theeland's got a fantastic matchup

1523
01:18:52,360 --> 01:18:54,640
Speaker 1: and I could easily see him bouncing back to the

1524
01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:58,880
Speaker 1: production that we saw through September and October. Staying with

1525
01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:01,040
Speaker 1: the passing game, I've got Kyle Rudolph on the bench

1526
01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:03,600
Speaker 1: who has disappeared from the Vikings offense. He did to

1527
01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:05,879
Speaker 1: have his best game at the year against the Packers

1528
01:19:05,880 --> 01:19:09,120
Speaker 1: in Week two, but since then just averaging three catches

1529
01:19:09,320 --> 01:19:11,639
Speaker 1: thirty three yards. We'd like to see a little more

1530
01:19:11,680 --> 01:19:15,000
Speaker 1: from Kyle Rudolph. I'm assuming they're asking him to block

1531
01:19:15,120 --> 01:19:18,320
Speaker 1: more to make up for some deficiencies across the offensive line.

1532
01:19:19,560 --> 01:19:22,880
Speaker 1: And lastly, let's mention Dalvin Cook. Only the Giants and

1533
01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:26,519
Speaker 1: Bengals have fewer rushing attempts than the Vikings do, and

1534
01:19:27,360 --> 01:19:29,479
Speaker 1: I can understand why Dalvin Cook hasn't been able to

1535
01:19:29,479 --> 01:19:31,160
Speaker 1: get it going. And if you take away a seventy

1536
01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:33,479
Speaker 1: yard run against the Lions, which isn't really fair, but

1537
01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:35,720
Speaker 1: if you do take it away, he's only averaging two

1538
01:19:35,720 --> 01:19:39,040
Speaker 1: point four yards per carry um. This still is a

1539
01:19:39,080 --> 01:19:42,639
Speaker 1: good opportunity, however, because the Packers are giving up four

1540
01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:44,960
Speaker 1: and a half yards per carry and they're now without

1541
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:47,360
Speaker 1: their run stuffing defensive tackle. Mike Daniel is one of

1542
01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:49,960
Speaker 1: the best in the business, and he is not He

1543
01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:51,720
Speaker 1: is not expected to play. In fact, I think they've

1544
01:19:51,720 --> 01:19:54,759
Speaker 1: officially ruled him out. Seattle just ran for one hundred

1545
01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:59,320
Speaker 1: fifty one yards against Green Bay without Mike Daniels, so

1546
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:01,759
Speaker 1: I think this is a nice opportunity for a bounce

1547
01:20:01,800 --> 01:20:04,519
Speaker 1: back game for Dalvin. For Dalvin Cook, you could even

1548
01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:06,800
Speaker 1: try Lottavius Murray. You know the bit here. He's an

1549
01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:08,880
Speaker 1: up the middle runner. That's where Mike Daniels would have

1550
01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:12,200
Speaker 1: been plausible. Dart throw for a rushing touchdown and a

1551
01:20:12,320 --> 01:20:21,400
Speaker 1: C grade for Lotavius Murray. It is time for lightning round.

1552
01:20:23,439 --> 01:20:27,000
Speaker 1: All your questions answered. They must be in the form

1553
01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:30,639
Speaker 1: of one question between two players. Thank you for your patients.

1554
01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:34,040
Speaker 1: Everybody has been holding for a very long time, including Mike. Hello, Mike,

1555
01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:41,080
Speaker 1: pr say it again, Mike, it was Connor and Michelle.

1556
01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:42,840
Speaker 1: I'm doing Michelle in this game. I don't like the

1557
01:20:42,880 --> 01:20:45,400
Speaker 1: matchup for Connor and Michelle is gonna get twenty carries

1558
01:20:45,439 --> 01:20:51,559
Speaker 1: in this game. Okay, Steve, Hello Steve, you've been holding

1559
01:20:51,600 --> 01:20:57,720
Speaker 1: for two Okay, there we go, Ah Brown Brown, I

1560
01:20:57,760 --> 01:21:01,880
Speaker 1: guess the Raiders. Yeah, Mike, Mike will Ms might be Yeah,

1561
01:21:02,160 --> 01:21:06,000
Speaker 1: it's Brown's Brown. If Tyroll Williams doesn't go, I could

1562
01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:09,120
Speaker 1: see maybe going Mike Williams, but he didn't mention the

1563
01:21:09,120 --> 01:21:12,400
Speaker 1: Michael Crabtree revenge game. By the way, that's true and

1564
01:21:12,479 --> 01:21:17,840
Speaker 1: probably doesn't bear mentioning. Alex You're next? Yeah, I need

1565
01:21:17,880 --> 01:21:22,040
Speaker 1: to go Chris Carson or Gus Edward. That point Gus

1566
01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:28,040
Speaker 1: Edward's baby. I love Gus in a fantastic matchup. Uh, Mike,

1567
01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:35,559
Speaker 1: you are next? Hi? Hi? So do I keeps or

1568
01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:42,360
Speaker 1: do I start Sterling Shepherd? We're best at two around here.

1569
01:21:42,479 --> 01:21:45,599
Speaker 1: Luck he had a cute kid. Sterling Shepherd is the answer.

1570
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:53,880
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd. Adam, Hello, Hi guys, Nick Bullens or Andy Dalton? Yea,

1571
01:21:55,200 --> 01:21:59,719
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton. Still I don't feel great about it? Yeah,

1572
01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:03,719
Speaker 1: Ben you are next? All right, guys, I got cut

1573
01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:10,080
Speaker 1: down heavy. I'm dealing with the Melvin Gordon situation. Contree games. Okay,

1574
01:22:10,320 --> 01:22:14,800
Speaker 1: do I drop um my guy and go for I

1575
01:22:14,880 --> 01:22:18,799
Speaker 1: guess Duke Johnson when I have Rubb already or Jones.

1576
01:22:20,439 --> 01:22:22,719
Speaker 1: I'm not totally sure what you're asking, but you can't

1577
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:29,479
Speaker 1: do you think he has Chubb already? Shepherd is your question, Ben,

1578
01:22:30,080 --> 01:22:34,479
Speaker 1: It's it's gotta be Shepherd this week. Shepherd. Awesome matchup,

1579
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:39,559
Speaker 1: barely gotta see Okay, thank you, Ben, Chad, You're next

1580
01:22:40,520 --> 01:22:45,479
Speaker 1: born in the standard scoring Tony Mitchelle or Aaron Jones.

1581
01:22:45,800 --> 01:22:48,920
Speaker 1: Thank God. I like Michelle this week. I like him

1582
01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:50,640
Speaker 1: a lot. I like Jones as well, but Michelle is

1583
01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:57,200
Speaker 1: my guy. Hi, Sue Hi, Um, Kirk Cousins or Carson Wentz.

1584
01:22:57,960 --> 01:23:00,519
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna go Kirk Cousins. I think that's

1585
01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:02,880
Speaker 1: the only way the Vikings can really generate points in

1586
01:23:02,880 --> 01:23:06,759
Speaker 1: this game, as Cousins throwing three to four touchdowns. Rocko,

1587
01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:10,799
Speaker 1: you are next, Hey, guys, I rick it with Doug Baldwin.

1588
01:23:10,840 --> 01:23:13,880
Speaker 1: We're trying to pick up J. Moore. It was Baldwin

1589
01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:15,560
Speaker 1: or d J. Moore. Let's go d J. Moore. I

1590
01:23:15,680 --> 01:23:18,200
Speaker 1: like that. I like the matchup anyway, and I just

1591
01:23:18,320 --> 01:23:20,519
Speaker 1: I just don't think Baldwin's gonna go. And I don't

1592
01:23:20,560 --> 01:23:22,719
Speaker 1: like starting a wide receiver of the groin injury anyway,

1593
01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:25,000
Speaker 1: because those guys get knocked out of games and reinjured

1594
01:23:25,040 --> 01:23:27,600
Speaker 1: themselves all the time. I think he mentioned that he

1595
01:23:27,760 --> 01:23:30,640
Speaker 1: might be dropping Doug Baldwin to make this move for

1596
01:23:30,760 --> 01:23:32,840
Speaker 1: d J. Moore. Still I still might do that. Yeah,

1597
01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:35,720
Speaker 1: I think it's sabotage. Drop time on Doug Baldwin, could

1598
01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:40,559
Speaker 1: be Bob Your next, Hi, guys, both point PPR Flood,

1599
01:23:41,360 --> 01:23:45,599
Speaker 1: Corey Davis or Jack Doyle. I had both of these

1600
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:48,479
Speaker 1: guys and my my matchups, and I gave Jack Doyle

1601
01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:50,519
Speaker 1: a starting grade and Corey Davis a bench grade. So

1602
01:23:50,600 --> 01:23:54,160
Speaker 1: there we go. There we have it. Dan, you're next

1603
01:23:54,200 --> 01:24:01,639
Speaker 1: on the fan. Dan, Hello, all right, we're moving on. Chuck,

1604
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:05,400
Speaker 1: you're on the fan. Hey, standard scoring. Keenan Allen or

1605
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:10,920
Speaker 1: Eric Key Uh. Keenan Allen, particularly if Buddha Baker does

1606
01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:13,640
Speaker 1: does not go. But even if Buda Baker goes, I

1607
01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:15,479
Speaker 1: think I'd still go. Keena. Now you're gonna have to

1608
01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:17,920
Speaker 1: make the decision before that anyway, YEA, Yeah, you're right.

1609
01:24:18,080 --> 01:24:24,920
Speaker 1: Keenan all Mark, you're next. Hey, guys, great, say it

1610
01:24:24,960 --> 01:24:29,840
Speaker 1: again for NET or for NET. I don't like the

1611
01:24:29,880 --> 01:24:32,400
Speaker 1: Connor Connor's matchup this week. It's tough in Denver for NETS.

1612
01:24:32,439 --> 01:24:35,760
Speaker 1: We guy all right, uh, Tom, you are next. Um,

1613
01:24:35,880 --> 01:24:38,920
Speaker 1: should I drop Peyton Barber and pick up Malcolm Brown

1614
01:24:39,000 --> 01:24:41,719
Speaker 1: and take him from the Todd Gurley owner. Yes, okay,

1615
01:24:41,840 --> 01:24:45,360
Speaker 1: all right, I like that. Sneaky underhanded, but this is

1616
01:24:45,439 --> 01:24:48,639
Speaker 1: the strategy. This is the strategy you need. Right, he's

1617
01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:52,000
Speaker 1: the kinds of Uh, it's not underhanded. It's just good strategy,

1618
01:24:52,240 --> 01:24:55,840
Speaker 1: that's all. It is. Revival of the fittest. Absolutely um.
