Paul charge In, Good morning, Welcome to 0:00:47.600 --> 0:00:51.600 the show. It is week number twelve Fantasy Football Weekly. 0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:57.000 We're uh, we're getting near nut cutting time. I don't 0:00:57.000 --> 0:00:58.440 know what it means. I don't like that. I don't 0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:00.760 like I don't even like thinking about what that might mean. 0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:04.920 Nobody wants their nuts cut. That's what I about now. Yeah, 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:07.480 nobody wants that. Brian Johnson Matt Harrison are my co 0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:11.800 host today. Good morning guys, Good morning, many teams. You 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:14.800 may find yourself in a sizeable deficit right now after 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:19.959 after the game's on Thursday. Yes, nut cutting time, okay, 0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:22.800 the point when you have tried everything but failed. While 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.679 the nut cutting time originally refers to the effort required 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.959 to remove a rusted or stripped nut. It has come 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:31.319 to be used as legislative context as the time to 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:34.880 exert maximum efforts to round up votes. Really it's a 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:39.000 it's it's screws. Really like you, you're both got rusted 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:41.080 and you can't get it off with a wrench, so 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:44.440 you go, oh, oh, you cut it right. It's rusted. 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:46.920 It doesn't have anything to do with testicles. Okay, it's 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:50.400 rusted nuts, got it. I can just sense the ratings 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:53.840 plummeting right now. Yeah, probably cut. We've got all kinds 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:55.400 of good stuff to get to though. Over the course 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:57.440 of the show, of course, take a chance on me. 0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:59.440 We'll give you nine players you can start that you 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:01.480 normally would, many of whom are on the waiver wire. 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:05.320 You can also play along with three hot questions, premature 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:08.560 speculation and the final premature speculation of the year coming 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:11.760 right here this week, and then Lightning round of course, 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:16.840 and all of the matchups, including Pittsburgh taking on Denver. Brian, 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:21.919 the the whole home road thing for Ben still it's 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:24.600 a little up in the air right now. Overall, he's 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:27.240 been better on the road this year, hasn't had like 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:29.840 the massive explosive games that he typically gets at home, 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:32.120 but hasn't had the dreadful games either. And then last 0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:33.679 week's had to light out because for three and a 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:36.799 half quarters he was awful, awful, and then he ends 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.880 up with two passing touchdowns and a rushing touchdown and 0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:42.720 puts himself into a good position for a solid fantasy 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:45.040 day on the road last week. Now he gets Denver. 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:49.639 What do you make of Ben Roethlisberger this week? Uh? 0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:51.960 Safer floor than normal on the road. It feels like 0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:54.079 for all the reasons you mentioned, Uh, he seems to 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:56.360 at least come away with two fifty and two on 0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.919 the road and passed there's like one eight and one 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:02.639 and three interceptions. So guys like Patrick Mahomes, Deshaun Watson, 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:05.359 Philip Rivers averaging over three five yards and two and 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.280 a half touchdowns against Denver recently. Uh, Ben's still of 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:10.040 that ilk, even on the road. So I'll give him 0:03:10.040 --> 0:03:13.320 a solid B here. Uh, mainly because I just absolutely 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:15.880 well of Antonio Brown this week. Everyone loves Antonio Brown 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:17.919 every week, but this feels like the week where he's 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:20.760 gonna go double digit receptions for a hundred yards and 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.640 maybe a crooked number in terms of touchdowns. Possibly, Yes, 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:26.400 he's gonna get Bradley Roby and Tremaine Brock on the outside, 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:29.520 who are not they are no a key to lead. Yeah, 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:31.480 So Denver secondary is a thing of the past, so 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:34.920 easy a for Brown. But Juju Smith Schues Juju Smith 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:36.640 Schuster not so much. I'm gonna give him a sea 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.200 here because he will see Chris Harris, who is still 0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:42.040 the best slot corner in the NFL. Juju run sev 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:44.960 routes from the slot, so he has the toughest matchup. 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.840 I'm just giving him a sea here. Uh. Harris has 0:03:47.840 --> 0:03:50.520 allowed just thirty four catches for three D sixty yards 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.120 on fifty six targets all season, So not a good 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:56.760 matchup for Juju. Better matchup for Vans McDonald though, giving 0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.720 him a B opposing tight ends or averaging sixty plus 0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:02.200 R for a game against Denver, and the Broncos have 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.720 also allowed a tight end touchdown in each of their 0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:06.800 last three games, So Mike and Vance here he gets 0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:09.840 a B and only given James Connery be Denver is 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:12.880 actually uh kind of gotten tough against running backs recently, 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.360 allowing just under three yards per carry over the last 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:19.240 four games, just one combined total touchdown to running backs 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:22.039 during that span too, And uh, Connor is cooled off 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:23.560 now that he doesn't have to throw about Levon Bell. 0:04:24.120 --> 0:04:26.320 Bell is out of the picture. So Connor now now 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:30.320 he's gonna tank. He's on an autopilot. But just over 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.279 hundred twenty combo yards over the last two games for Connor, 0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:35.760 so he has cooled down. Not an amazing matchups, Just 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:39.640 to be for him here over to the Denver side, 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.200 just to be for Philip Lindsay. Pittsburgh has been very 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:45.240 tough against running backs all season. No loan back had 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.320 topped eighty five combo yards against the Steelers until Leonard 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:50.880 Fournette and Christian McCaffrey both did it in each of 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:54.960 the last two weeks. Lindsay is borderline in that territory, 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:57.560 but he's still saw startable. I'm justsna give him a 0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:01.520 soft be here. But Davante Freeman from Sorry Royce Freeman, 0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:05.160 DeVante Booker easily on the bench. H Emmanuel Sanders borderline 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:06.800 bench greade for me in this one, even in a 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:10.760 revenge game against his old team, his Steelers. But Sanders 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.279 has been held scoreless in three straight hasn't topped sixty 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:15.360 yards in that span, and he gets Mike Hilton, who's 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:18.640 another great slot cornerback, maybe one b to Chris Harris 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:21.279 when hers the slot corners. Uh. He's allowed just twelve 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:24.200 yards per twelve yards per game in his coverage over 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:27.799 the last six games something, and hasn't allowed to touchdown 0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:30.000 all seasons. So I do not like Sanders. I will 0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:31.800 give him a see though. He's a tough guy to 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:34.560 sit as a primary receiver in a game where Denver 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:38.040 probably chasing points. But Courtland Sutton on the bench has 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.280 yet the top three catches in a single game all year, 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:44.480 and he faces a resurgent Joe Dare we call him 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:47.800 Iron Hayden again? He's been very good this ye her 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:52.120 Joe Hayden, absolutely so, Sutton on the bench. Love him 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:54.279 long term dyansty keeper leagues, but he's on the bench 0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:58.760 this week. Jeff Hoyerman, our boy, Jeff Berman. Is it 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:01.880 Hierman tier? I like human? Well, it looks like it 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:04.400 ought to be Hoyerman. There's no eye in it, but 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:09.080 it's Hireman. Tricky tricky Hireman. Anyway. Pittsburgh ranks against tight 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:12.520 ends by football outsiders, allowing more than sixty five yards 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:16.280 per game to the position. Sadly, Hireman's birthday is not 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:20.880 on Sunday, but guess when it is Monday, this very moment, 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:24.159 it's today. Shall we celebrating? Shall we sink the Hireman? 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:29.120 Happy birthday to you? Case Keenum Jeff Hireman on the 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:31.320 bench though, Sadly, I mean when you only really like 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.600 Hireman as a pass catcher for a football team, you're 0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:36.160 not gonna start the quarterback. And that would be case 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:38.320 Keenum on the bench. On the bench chart you got 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:41.159 some pipes over there. Well, I don't show him off offen, 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:43.560 but I can do it. Yeah, it helps if it's 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:46.120 morning and everything's sort of gravelly, and yeah that it 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.040 works better that way. Actually, let's go to Jacksonville taking 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:53.440 on Buffalo Matt h The Jaguars offense better with Leonard Fournett, 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:55.520 who has been solid in his two games. This is 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.720 kind of a sneaky, tough matchup with a decent Buffalo 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:01.039 run defense. What do you make of Leonard four Nette today? 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:02.920 We're gonna try to get out of this matchup as 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:05.280 quick as we got into it. Leonard Fournette gets an 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:08.320 A grade. He had thirty touches last week against the 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:12.160 Steelers again, another huge touch total was a twenty nine 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:15.000 the week before. I think, uh. Only one running back 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.720 has had more than fifteen touches against the Bills this year. 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.440 That was Marlon Mack. He ended up with a hundred 0:07:20.440 --> 0:07:22.840 and fifty nine combo yards and two touchdowns, so four 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:25.360 nets an easy a Blake Bortles and the rest of 0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:28.280 the passing game is on the bench. Five out of 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:30.480 the last six quarterbacks the Bills have faced have been 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:33.240 held to under two hundred yards, and six out of 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.480 the last seven quarterbacks the Bills of face to have 0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:39.000 been held to one or fewer touchdown passes. That's one 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:42.800 or zero, so D D. Westbrook, DJ Charkin, Dante Moncrief 0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:45.840 who combined for forty five yards last week. Yeah, they're 0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.120 all on the bench too. On the other side, there's 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:50.760 one starter, and it's not a great starter. It's Lashawn McCoy, 0:07:50.800 --> 0:07:54.160 who gets a See. Jacksonville has only allowed four rushing 0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:57.360 touchdowns on the season to opposing running backs. That's not good. 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:01.760 Buffalo just fed McCoy like a crazy team. They just 0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:03.760 gave him the ball over and over again. Twenty six 0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:06.840 carries last week, for a hundred and thirteen yards and 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:09.960 two scores. The only problem was that was two of 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:15.640 Buffalo's three running back touchdowns on the season, so literally 0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:19.320 it was McCoy's only good game of the year. If 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:21.640 they're going to stay in this game, they're going to 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.160 ground and pound and try to play great defense. I 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.840 think you don't think Josh Allen changes the complexion of 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:30.600 that offense quite a bit. I do, no, not that much. 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:32.679 He's slated to start this game, but the Bills are 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:35.360 only snuffing ad and eight two passing yards per game 0:08:35.400 --> 0:08:38.520 this year, with only five touchdown passes on the season, 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.880 and most of those were Matt Barkley's um They're on 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:44.360 pace to be the worst quarterback group since the two 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:49.040 thousand fifteen St. Louis Rams, whose quarterbacks were the NFC 0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:52.640 Championship Game quarterbacks from last year, Nick Foles and case 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:56.400 keenum they were the worst quarterbacks in recent history. They 0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.480 averaged one eight one and had eleven touchdowns on the 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:02.840 season for the Rams. So Za Jones is on the 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:05.400 bench to some people are chasing his eleven targets, his 0:09:05.480 --> 0:09:07.920 eight catches, his ninety three yards in a score last week, 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:11.000 but he gets Jalen Ramsey this week. So I'm not 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:13.880 going to say, Zay, I'm not going to say you 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:16.360 don't say, I don't say nobody's as I can I 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:21.960 zig and you could say never mind. Uh, let me 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.360 mention this about the Bill's run defense and Leonard four Nette. 0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:27.480 You mentioned Marlon Max great game, yet nineteen carries, hundred 0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:30.720 twenty six yards in a touchdown, chipped another touchdown through 0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:34.880 the air. He's the only back who's topped seventy seven 0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:38.960 yards against the Buffalo run defense all year. Well, and 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.000 as I said, he's the only back who's had more 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.679 than fifteen carries in a game. They just they haven't 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:46.800 faced a bell cow back like four Net. Well they 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:50.040 kind of have, you know, Melvin Gordon twenty eight rushing 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:53.560 yards as one example. Um, they were way up in 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:55.480 that game, though they didn't need all. That is true. 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:57.160 They were way up in that game and they didn't 0:09:57.160 --> 0:09:59.120 need it. So you know, we'll see. I you know, 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:00.640 I just I think they're so I think it's a 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:03.400 little bit trickier for I think it's a little trickier 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:05.720 for lenond front at than you do. But that's all right, Okay, Well, 0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:07.559 we'll see how it plays out. Let's go to the 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:09.640 Giants taking on the Eagles, and if there's anything to 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.839 know here, no, it's the Eagle secondary is an absolute wreck. 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:15.400 Jalen Mills has got a foot injury. Sydney Jones safety 0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:20.479 expected to miss the game. Already, backups, already, already backups. 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:25.679 Rassul Douglass and a Vonte Maddox both went down against 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:27.680 the Saints last week, and it doesn't look like they're 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:30.480 going to go either. We're looking at like fifth and 0:10:30.640 --> 0:10:34.800 six string guys starting throughout the secondary. Not a cornerback 0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:40.600 has been able to practice the Eagles. It's not cornerbacks, 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:44.319 not one. It is an utter disaster. There wasn't one 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:46.840 of those guys the bad guy, and Batman begins to 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:52.880 Russuel Douglas exactly. So if there's ever a time to 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:56.720 start your Giants in the passing game, this certainly feels 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:59.240 like it. We've got it. Obviously a grade on Odell 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:01.640 Beckham that I don't even need to expand on beyond that, 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:04.160 But let's talk about Eli Manning. There are some mixed 0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:06.920 trends here. Um. With all of the injuries, the Eagles 0:11:06.960 --> 0:11:09.320 have allowed at least two hundred seventy passing yards in 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:12.760 every game since Week four. But we've already seen Eli 0:11:12.840 --> 0:11:16.000 Mann and go belly up in these great opportunities in 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:21.040 the past against other bad defenses Atlanta, Washington, San Francisco, 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:24.400 and Tampa. He only managed two three yards per game 0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:28.560 and one point eight touchdowns. So I had Eli as 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:32.400 an A until I dug into the stats a little farther. 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:34.560 Now I've got him as a B right now. But 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:38.719 that he has, he's potentially colossal upside In this case, 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:40.720 He's just a two eight, three and two kind of 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:43.320 guy in his best games. Kind of that is sort 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:45.800 of his upside, isn't it. You know where you look 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:47.600 at that secondary and you think that could be a 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:49.680 four hundred yard passing game. But Eli doesn't give us 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:53.960 those anymore. Sterling Shepherd could be going up against slot 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:59.920 cornerback Cravon le Blanc back that's right, claimed off wave 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.160 is a couple of weeks ago. Uh. In fact, he's 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:04.280 been on the team I think eleven days. Do they 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:09.000 call him the little blanket, the blanket le blanket coverage, 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:14.960 blanket comforts. Does he whitewash the opponent? I like it? Uh? 0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:19.199 Cravon le blanc against Sterley Shepherd feels very very good. Um, 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:22.440 I would have made Sterling Shepherd today grade. But he's 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:24.720 done nothing for the better part of a month either, 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:32.000 so he was blocked last weekend. It's a blank. Yes, uh, 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:34.559 nobody else is laughing, but we're cracking ourselves up if 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:37.120 nothing else. Evan Ingram just to see grade. He goes 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:39.440 have been great against tight ends all year, allowing only 0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:42.200 three and a half receptions in thirty five yards per game. 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:44.959 Ingram was forced to miss the first game between these 0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:47.680 two earlier this season, but last year he did average 0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:50.600 ten targets for sixty six yards in the two games 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:52.880 against the Eagles. I've got to see grade on him, 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:57.160 but you could pray done. He hasn't done anything of note. 0:12:57.440 --> 0:13:00.320 Ellison outsnapped him last week. That's well, but they have 0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:03.320 two different roles, you know, Ingram's your pass catcher, rets 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.960 your your blocker. Obviously they don't need a pass catching 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:09.280 tight end anymore. Well, they need blockers worse. The offensive 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:11.880 line so bad. And then obviously se kwon Barkley's and a 0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:15.240 a start. Although I'll note your Kwan's got the hardest 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:17.960 matchup on the field. The Eagles are only giving up 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:21.600 sixteen rushes per game to opposing backs. But Sa Kwan 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:23.560 did just find on thirteen attempts when they met in 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:25.920 week five, and he put up two nine yards. So 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:29.400 in a grade for Se Kwon. But again, everybody else 0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:31.280 on the fields got easier matchups than he does, and 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:33.079 the game script could go away from him. Let's go 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:35.840 to the eagle side. Carson Wentz gets an A grade 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:38.319 for me. I know last week was dismal. It was 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:41.600 a terrible game, but Once had went into that game 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:45.319 having thrown multiple touchdowns in sixth straight before that game, 0:13:45.679 --> 0:13:48.520 so I'm gonna assume that was the anomaly. And among 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:51.760 those games was a three touchdown effort against the same 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.520 Giants in week six. I would take another three touchdowns. 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:58.040 The Giant secondaries improved slightly since shedding Eli Apple, which 0:13:58.080 --> 0:14:01.240 was additioned by subtraction, and they picked off Tampa quarterback 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:05.280 four times, Tampa quarterbacks four times last week. Still, this 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:07.079 is a very beatiful secondary, and I've got an A 0:14:07.200 --> 0:14:10.800 grade on Carson Wentz. How about all Sean Jeffrey b grade? 0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:12.800 Here is he is? He lines up against the Giant's 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.320 defense that he tore apart in Week six, catching eight 0:14:15.360 --> 0:14:18.680 passes for seventy four yards and two touchdowns. Now they're 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:22.320 without Eli Apple, who was who Now without without Elie 0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:24.600 Apple who allowed a hundred and eleven of those yards 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:27.240 in the Eagles game last time, So he probably has 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:30.320 a little tougher matchup, and he's been a lot quieter lately. 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:34.040 Now the most intriguing matchup of this whole game. What 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.320 do you do about Golden Tate? I'll tell you what 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:41.680 you do stardom. He got moved to the slot last 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:44.120 week and that promptly led him to lead the team 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:46.600 and targets, receptions and yards. And I know it didn't 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:48.800 materialize into a big fantasy game, and lever is putting 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:50.960 him on the bench. Get him off the bench. Here 0:14:51.200 --> 0:14:54.040 he goes up against giant slot corner Grant Haley, who 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:57.240 has surrendered a passer rating of one hundred thirty nine 0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:02.720 in his coverage. Tampa's sl receiver last week, Adam Humphreys 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:07.920 against Grant Haley, uh caught three passes, sixty yards and 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:10.920 a score on him. So I like Golden Tate in 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:14.600 this matchup. Zach ERT's obvious A We're not gonna even 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:19.080 extrap explain well not extrap Lee won't expound on his game. 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:21.920 Josh Adams, last guy will mention the running game, the 0:15:21.960 --> 0:15:24.000 only running back you'd want to start, and I've got 0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:26.080 a starting grade on him with a C grade. The 0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:28.240 Giants have given up one hundred or more rushing yards 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.040 and a touchdown to the opponent's leading running back in 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:34.840 each of the last three weeks. And those guys to 0:15:34.880 --> 0:15:38.040 get the hundred yards and or a touchdown Adrian Peterson, 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:41.560 Matton Brita and Peyton Barber. That is not exactly like 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:45.640 Girly Zeke and se Kwan. That was Adrian Matt Brita 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:48.480 and Peyton Barber. If those guys are getting it done, 0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:51.560 I like Adams here. Here's the catch though, Adams hasn't 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:53.920 top nine carries in a game yet. Now you can 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:56.440 only do so much on nine carries. So the hope 0:15:56.520 --> 0:15:58.840 is that Adams gets more work, and if he does, 0:15:58.960 --> 0:16:01.880 I like the opportunity for a decent game here. Um, 0:16:01.920 --> 0:16:03.920 if you are of the opinion that Josh Adams is 0:16:03.920 --> 0:16:07.000 going to vault up to eighteen carries out of nowhere, great, 0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:08.880 give him a B grade, give him an A grade. 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:11.560 But what we've seen have been seven seven and nine 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:14.520 carries in the last three weeks for Josh Adams. That 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:17.440 keeps him out of sea. Great, all right, we'll take 0:16:17.440 --> 0:16:19.560 a break when we come back. Take a chance on me. 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.080 Nine players not normally in your starting line up. Many 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:24.800 of them are available on the waiver wire. Will type 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:27.960 tricky Tricky week for Rams and Chiefs owners. By the way, 0:16:28.240 --> 0:16:30.200 plenty of waiver wire needs out there. We'll tell you 0:16:30.200 --> 0:16:32.320 who to pick up when we come back. This is 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:36.480 Fantasy Football Weekly presented by green Bell Premium on the 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:42.680 value if you change all on the first day line, 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:50.680 I'm still free. Take a chance on me if you 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:57.440 need me. Let me no gonna be If you got 0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:07.720 no pleace to go, it's take a chance on me. 0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:12.080 Nine players that you would not normally start, let's find 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:14.200 out who they are, beginning at the quarterback position and 0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:18.320 Brian Johnson, let's go with san Franz Nick Mullins at 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:22.080 the bucks. Uh Tampa has been shredded by every quarterback 0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:25.960 not named Alex Smith or Nick Foles this season. Mullins 0:17:26.040 --> 0:17:29.040 probably deserves to be mentioned along the lines of Alex 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:31.640 Smith and Nick Boles, but coming off is bye week. 0:17:31.720 --> 0:17:34.600 I like him in this matchup. Tampa Bay will be 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:37.600 without Lavonte David, their all world middle linebacker. Could also 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:40.760 still be without JPP and Vinny Curry from their D line. 0:17:41.560 --> 0:17:45.560 Just a bad defense. So let mullins eat all right 0:17:46.680 --> 0:17:49.920 songs making me sleepy and get much sleep last night, 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:52.680 because I was up all night thinking about Baker Mayfield 0:17:52.720 --> 0:17:54.880 and it's an awesome matchup that he's got. I've got. 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:58.040 He's thrown from multiple passing touchdowns in four straight games, 0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:00.560 and he's facing quite possibly the worst path s defense 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:03.520 in the league. That's the Bengals. They're allowing three six 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:06.520 passing yards per game and two point one touchdowns per 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:10.080 game through the air. They're also allowing a league high 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:13.840 six point six QB rushing attempts skewed a little bit 0:18:13.880 --> 0:18:17.160 by Lamar Jackson last week, just a bit, and it's 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:21.600 twenty seven carries, that's true. They've They've allowed thirty quarterback 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.760 rushing yards per game and three quarterback rushing scores this season. 0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:26.720 And Baker can run a little. He had six carries 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:29.960 himself last week for twenty yards on the ground against Atlanta, 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:32.399 so he might chip in a little extra there too. 0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:36.639 I'm going Jameis Winston against San Francisco. Let's hope he 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:39.159 can just make it through the game without getting benched. 0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:42.639 So let's start there, and he is averaging three point 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:47.080 two interceptions per game. Think about that, he's on pace 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:50.240 for a fifty interception season. If you were to pro 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:53.679 rate his his season over sixteen games, it's pretty solid. 0:18:53.840 --> 0:18:57.359 That's pretty bad. Nevertheless, here comes San Francisco. They're pretty 0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:00.320 bad to Uh. Winston has plenty of ups side. San 0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:03.879 Francisco has allowed touchdowns to every quarterback except Derek Carr, 0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:08.760 multiple touchdowns in six of the past seven games. Jamis 0:19:08.760 --> 0:19:11.800 Winston simultaneously or take a chance on me. Defense is 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:17.320 San Francisco? That's right, you bet you could do both, uh, 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:21.000 Ryan running back. Let's go the Jets Elijah McGuire at 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:23.840 home versus New England. Let's just start this off by saying, 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:28.919 Isaiah crow l is god awful? Since his uh nineteen 0:19:28.960 --> 0:19:32.560 yard explosive output in Week five, you crow well, I 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:35.600 was totaled hundred and sixty two yards on fifty seven 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:39.119 carries in the five games. Since that's terrible, that's awful. 0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:42.440 What was your starting running back for the Jets Week one? 0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:46.879 Next year? Not? Is it? Is it? Crow? Well McGuire 0:19:47.160 --> 0:19:51.280 or not on roster currently, Bell could be, could be, 0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:53.480 It's certainly not crow Well, and it's probably not gonna 0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:55.600 be crow Well on Sunday. It should be Elijah McGuire, 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:57.520 who has nine touches in each of his first two 0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:00.280 games back. I like you have more carries in this game. 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:01.800 But he did see a healthy number of targets in 0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:04.440 his first few games five and six, which bodes will 0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:07.120 because opposing running backs are averaging six catches on eight 0:20:07.119 --> 0:20:09.720 targets against the Patriots, so uh and in the game 0:20:09.760 --> 0:20:12.399 script will favor passing running backs out of backfields and 0:20:12.600 --> 0:20:15.240 Elijah not that he's a great pass catcher, but he 0:20:15.320 --> 0:20:18.120 can catch. All right, let's go to Matt running back. 0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:20.520 It's come to this that Derrick Henry is now take 0:20:20.520 --> 0:20:24.360 a chance on me running back. He's only owned, He's 0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:26.320 not the feature back. And the Titans have been a 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:29.479 terrible team on the road this season, but four of 0:20:29.560 --> 0:20:33.960 his six rushing attempt totals of ten or more came 0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:36.320 on the road when they were trying to play ball control. 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:39.560 He's also scored in two of his last three road games. 0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:44.760 The Titans need to control the clock when outside of Nashville. 0:20:45.320 --> 0:20:47.520 They're in Houston, and the Texans have given up four 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:51.040 rushing touchdowns in just the last three weeks to the Miami, Denver, 0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:53.920 and Washington backfields. I'm not asking for a town here, 0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:56.440 I'm just asking for a touchdown out to Derrick Henry 0:20:57.560 --> 0:21:02.240 Gus Edwards. I'm fully board. Uh. He made the most 0:21:02.240 --> 0:21:05.240 of his opportunities last week, averaging almost seven yards per carry, 0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:08.160 scored a touchdown, and relegated Alex Collins of the bench 0:21:08.160 --> 0:21:11.520 for the entire second half. And what a delicious matchup 0:21:11.640 --> 0:21:15.560 for Gus Edwards against the Raiders, arguably the worst front 0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:18.800 defense in the league. Raiders rank last or second to 0:21:18.920 --> 0:21:23.359
