00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: If you're listening right now, that probably means you've got

11
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: Charchie and co host today Matt Harrison and Thorneistrom.

12
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 4: Hey, guys, I I hope it's more than like two

13
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 4: twelfths of like the fantasy players out there listening. Still,

14
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 4: it might be.

15
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I think a lot of people get pretty

16
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: bitter about fantasy football when they get when they get eliminated.

17
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: I certainly do, yeah, And so I mean, I understand you.

18
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: You have no leagues left, and you're like di, I

19
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: can't listen to people who care right.

20
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 3: Now, and I have no team alive.

21
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 4: That was rude when Thor came in and just threw

22
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 4: the copy machine across the building, and so angry.

23
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: I watch off of space last night. So we've got

24
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: plenty to get to. We're gonna break down all the

25
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: games and there's there's with all the injuries that have

26
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 1: mounted here at the end of the season, there's a

27
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: lot of moving parts in these We're gonna try to

28
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: give you the best advice with what we know about

29
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: the injury situations. We've got the take a chance of

30
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: me players that still count for various people in various situations.

31
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: And we'll answer three tough questions, all forward looking as

32
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: we look to next year. Let's begin with the Patriots

33
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: taking on the Bills. And by the way, before we

34
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: even get to that, Matt like remind listeners, don't like

35
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: unsubscribe now, you know we keep going. We're fifty two

36
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: weeks a year, that's true, don't unsubscribe.

37
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 4: And we have thorn Nystrom and nobody knows the NFL

38
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 4: draft better than thor Nystroms.

39
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: Season is coming, yeah, all right, time of the year.

40
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: Our off season is going to be so much more

41
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: informed than it has been in years past. Best time

42
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: of the year, draft season. I can't wait. See then,

43
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: would you have been talking about Pooka Nakua? You talked

44
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: about it here on this show in August. Would you

45
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: have been talking about it on Fantasy Football Weekly in March?

46
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 5: Well, yes, yeah, because we discovered him at the Senior

47
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 5: Bowl last year, you know, and and at b YU

48
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 5: he had flashed when he was on the field. It

49
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 5: was just the injury thing, and then he didn't test

50
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 5: quite as well. But he dusted people when he was

51
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 5: on the field, and we are going to point people

52
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 5: to sleepers.

53
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: Early on, I was looking at Jaron Hall going back

54
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: through some Jared Hall BYU taped to just because he's

55
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: starting for the Vikings. We'll talk about that at the

56
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: end of the show as we do that matchup. Man,

57
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: he had he had some deep downfield connections to Pooka

58
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 1: and Puka was just shreddinged dudes.

59
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, when Pooka was on the field, Jaren Hall

60
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 5: was good. When Pucka was not on the field, for By,

61
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 5: I was about it not as good.

62
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: Well, he's got justin Jefferson.

63
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 4: It's pretty good.

64
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: He does sign back to Patriots Bills. Man, let's start

65
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 1: on the Patriots side. There's only one player that really

66
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 1: is meaningful here for this week, Ezekiel Elliott. He's been

67
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 1: pretty good the last since Romandre Stevenson's been out. He's

68
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: out for this one. Do you like him here?

69
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 4: Sure? You just did the Patriots side of my matchup

70
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 4: for me? That's a B grade for Elliott. He probably

71
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 4: gets another twenty touches this week, and the Bills are

72
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 4: allowing four point four yards per carry. That's sixth worst

73
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 4: in the league. They're also bottom ten in both receptions

74
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 4: and receiving yards allowed to opposing backs, and Zeke had

75
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 4: eleven targets and nine catches last week. In fact, he's

76
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 4: averaging seven catches over the past three weeks with Bailey Zappi,

77
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 4: so lot of PPR work for Zeke here, but the

78
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 4: entire passing game for the Pats is on the bench.

79
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 4: Zappi has looked serviceable over the past few weeks, but

80
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 4: the Bills are top eight in passing yards and passing

81
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 4: scores allowed, so the matchup is brutal. On the Bill side.

82
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 4: Josh Allen easya over his last five meetings with the Patriots,

83
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 4: he's averaging two hundred and seventy three yards and three

84
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 4: passing scores per game, and he's never had fewer than

85
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 4: sixteen rushing yards against New England, so he'll add on

86
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 4: a little bit there. But Stefan Diggs, that one's a

87
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 4: little more interesting.

88
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: How about this championship week you might have to bench

89
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: stuff on Diggs.

90
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, he hasn't been very digsy since Week six. That

91
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 4: was the last time he hit one hundred yards. He's

92
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 4: only scored three times in the past nine games. The

93
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 4: Pats defense has been middle of the pack against wide receivers.

94
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 4: They've allowed a big day recently to Rashie Rice, but

95
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 4: pretty much held almost every other wide receiver in check

96
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 4: and looking through the corners. Only Jonathan Jones has a

97
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 4: passer rating under one hundred and his coverage though, so

98
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 4: the matchups still okay. I kind of like this as

99
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 4: a get right game for Bills and Digs here. I'm

100
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 4: gonna give him a B grade. I don't feel as

101
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,239
Speaker 4: confident about Gabe Davis. I don't know how you could.

102
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 4: He's either boom or bust. His last four games include

103
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 4: one oh five in a score, one thirty in a score,

104
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 4: and two games where he didn't catch a pass. So

105
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 4: you're absolutely playing with fire if starting him. But maybe

106
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 4: you went up against some of the guys on Thursday night,

107
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 4: like Bryce Hall, who had a nice big game. Maybe

108
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 4: you need that boom er bus player. In that case,

109
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 4: you can start Gabe Davis with a C grade. You

110
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 4: cannot start Dalton Kincaid or Dawson Knox. Or Dawson Kincaid

111
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 4: or Dalton Knox neither are getting targets right now since

112
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 4: Knox return. Kinkaid is seeing three point six targets per

113
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 4: game and Knox is only getting one point six. And

114
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 4: the Pats have the second best tight end defense in

115
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 4: the league, so they're all on the bench. If you're

116
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 4: in a league it's just a redraft league, you can

117
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 4: drop Dalton Kincaid and use that roster spot to block

118
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 4: an opponent, or find a little depth and maybe find

119
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 4: a good guy that we got a lot of good

120
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 4: guys that we're going to talk about and take a

121
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 4: chance on me. Lastly, James Cook. He gets a B grade.

122
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 4: The workload has been fantastic over the last month, but

123
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 4: the Patriots haven't allowed a runner to top seventy yards

124
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 4: on the ground since Week seven. They do allow a

125
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 4: lot of opposing running backs through the air damage though

126
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 4: in their last three games alone, opposing backs are averaging

127
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 4: almost nine receptions per game and about sixty receiving yards

128
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 4: per game. That's a ton of work through the air,

129
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 4: and I think James Cook gets almost all of it,

130
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 4: even though Leonard Fournette, Hey, he was active last week.

131
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: How about that. Yeah, doesn't worry me a lot, not

132
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: at all. Cook does worry me. I think this is

133
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: this is a tricky matchup. It's a tricky spot for him.

134
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 1: Let's go over to Saints Bucks thor Derek Carr. I've

135
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: got some interest in Derek Carr. In fact, I forgot

136
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: he's might take a chance and I move this one

137
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: to the first segment in my mistake, am I allowed

138
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: to say a couple of things about Derek Carr? Save

139
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: it for my take a chance? Okay? All right? Spoiler alert,

140
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,119
Speaker 1: Yes I like him a lot too. Yes, but also

141
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: my wide receivers in this matchup. You know who that

142
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: is and mutual love their charity, that's right. So you

143
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 1: can't talk about him either, Yeah, yeah, so yeah, we'll

144
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: wait on that one.

145
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 5: Alvin Kamara, I'm giving an a It's also a good

146
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 5: matchup for him. RB three and Fantasy points per game

147
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 5: number one. In targets, the Bucks struggled to tackle and

148
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 5: as you guys know, Kamara breaks a lot of them

149
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 5: Bucks up the six highest misstackle rates since week eleven.

150
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 5: The volume, of course, is going to be there for Kamaras,

151
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 5: so it goes without saying. Chris Olave also in a

152
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 5: the Bucks have allowed the most receiving yards to wide receivers.

153
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 5: I think Church will probably get into that a little

154
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 5: bit more he started talking about it, But yeah, Olave.

155
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: Is definitely an A. Yeah, love Olave here, love him.

156
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 5: You have to keep Taysom Hill on the bench after

157
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 5: what we've seen in the last two games. He only

158
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 5: had one point seven total PPR points combined against the Giants,

159
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 5: and Rams only played twenty two snaps in those games combine.

160
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 5: You just can't trust the usage in a championship game,

161
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 5: or I wouldn't be able to. I gotta keep him

162
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 5: on the bench. The tight end you want to play

163
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 5: here is Juwan Johnson. I give him a b touchdowns

164
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 5: in two straight games and the Bucks have allowed the

165
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 5: fifth most fantasy points the tight ends. Tampa has also

166
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 5: coughed up fifteen or more point PPR points to three

167
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 5: straight tight ends that they have faced. I think it's

168
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 5: a good matchup for him going over to the Bucks.

169
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 5: Baker Mayfield, I give him a B. He scored at

170
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 5: least twenty four fantasy points in three straight games, had

171
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 5: two hundred and forty six passing yards and three touchdowns

172
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 5: against these very same Saints in Week four, and these Saints,

173
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 5: you guys will recall, just gave up twenty five fantasy

174
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 5: points to Matthew Stafford. Yeah, Rashad White, we were talking

175
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 5: about him before the show.

176
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: I love Rashad White.

177
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 5: This week, I love him, you are, but tell me

178
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 5: why I give him an a RB seven and fantasy.

179
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 5: This year, he's averaging twenty touches ninety two total yards

180
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 5: per game this The Saints run defense was better earlier

181
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 5: on in this season, but it has regressed now, which

182
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 5: to me makes this a good matchup for White. New

183
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 5: Orleans has allowed the second most rushing yards per game

184
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 5: since Week eleven, So I really like Rashad Mike Evans,

185
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 5: I'm giving him an A wide Receiver eight in fantasy,

186
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 5: and keep in mind Marshawn Lattimore will not be active

187
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 5: this week. Saints have run the fourth have the fourth

188
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 5: highest rate of single high coverage since Week twelve against

189
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 5: single high Get this, Mike Evans are ridiculous three point

190
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 5: two yards per route run and thirty two percent first

191
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 5: reach share. Oh Man, Mayfield looks at him all the

192
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 5: time against that coverage. Look, he is going to get

193
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 5: pounded with targets here. For that reason, I did not

194
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 5: Godwin Chris Godwin down to a sea. He does have

195
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 5: those eleven plus targets three games in a row, so

196
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 5: some people out there are probably be more bullish than me.

197
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 5: Fourteen point PPR points are more in his last two games,

198
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 5: all the way up to wide receiver thirty nine and

199
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 5: fantasy points per game now, and he did have a

200
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 5: big game against the Saints earlier this season. I will

201
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 5: say eight catches for one hundred and fourteen yards on

202
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 5: eleven targets. But this for me is the bonanza matchup

203
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 5: for Evans. I think Godwin takes a little bit of

204
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 5: a back seat here. He is startable as a third

205
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 5: wide receiver. Godwin is, but I just have to give

206
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 5: him a seed.

207
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: All right. I'll mention this back to our slight disagreement

208
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: on Rashad White. Saints have been great against running backs

209
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: through the air, and that's where with shod White has

210
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: given you this safe seat, this safe floor. Yeah right,

211
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna pull the stats up here for in

212
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: just a second. Here, New Orleans gives up a league

213
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: low three point three receptions to running backs per game

214
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: and the third lowest receiving yards per game, and they've

215
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: given up one receiving touchdown to a running back all year.

216
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 5: So it's probably got to come on the ground. Yeah,

217
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 5: it's good context. Okay, fine, I'll knock him down to

218
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 5: a beat.

219
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: That's I'd have him as a beagrau R knock him

220
00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: down to be Let's go h Miami taking on Baltimore.

221
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 1: That is my game, beginning with Tyreek Hill a gray

222
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: despite a very tough matchup against an excellent Raven secondary

223
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: targeted fourteen times last week, which is repeatable here with

224
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle out again, so this should be a green

225
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: light game for him. Tough matchup, but it's it's Tyrek Hill.

226
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: He got you here. You're gonna keep playing. Actually, I

227
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: should never say that just because a guy got you

228
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: here does not mean you should play him.

229
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 4: No, you should play him because he's Tyreek Hill and

230
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 4: he's awesome.

231
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: You got you here right here? Decisions. Yeah, let's stay

232
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: with the passing game. The only other person you really

233
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: care about here is Toua Tua Toungo via lois touchdowns

234
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: over the last three games zero one and one. That's it.

235
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: And over his last seven games, Tua is averaging one

236
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 1: point two touchdowns per game. That that's it. Not the

237
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: elite numbers you think of when you think of the

238
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: Miami passing attack and w who's gotten fed Tyreek Hill

239
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: and getting Tyreek obviously helps. Facing Baltimore does not. They've

240
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: allowed the fewest passing yards, they've allowed the fewest passing touchdowns,

241
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 1: and they have the fourth most interceptions. And they just

242
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: put Brock Purty on the worst game of his career.

243
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of reason for caution on Tua,

244
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 1: just to see grade you can go to take a

245
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: chance on me. For players, I like more quarterbacks more

246
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: than Tua. The running backs. Let's start with Rahem Mostert.

247
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: He's got this leg injury right, He's been nursing like

248
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: nine different things. Probably going to play in this game,

249
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: expected to go. Baltimore is a good run defense, not great,

250
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: and volume backs generally fare well. But the problem is

251
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: most it's not really a volume back anymore.

252
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 6: Now.

253
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: Opposing runners with fourteen or more total touches are averaging

254
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,319
Speaker 1: one hundred and two yards, which is great, but fourteen

255
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: or more it's not necessarily Mostard's gig anymore. He's always

256
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: injury prone, and he's getting and fewer snap shares. His

257
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: snapchare has dropped in three straight weeks, down to twenty

258
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: nine percent last weeks. For Raheem Moster, I can only

259
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 1: get you to a C grade in this game. C

260
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: grade for Devin h Chan. If most are surprises in

261
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: sit then I would upgrade eight Cham, but I don't

262
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: think that's gonna happen. Happen. I mentioned Ravens a great

263
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: pass defense, just an okay run defense, so the opportunities

264
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: could be there. Baltimore is only allowing four has only

265
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: allowed four rushing touchdowns all year. No backs top thirty

266
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: two receiving yards since way back in Week seven, and

267
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 1: only one back has a receiving touchdown against them going

268
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: all the way back to Week three. But they're not

269
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: in vulnerable. We do see backs to get it done.

270
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 1: Christian McAffrey obviously last week. You know he's an exception.

271
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 1: They also ring twenty six and run stuff win rates,

272
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: so you can get a little something done here between

273
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: most and eight. Haan but they're gonna divvy up the

274
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: work and I can only put a C grade on

275
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 1: both of them. Let's go over to Baltimore, starting with

276
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. Miami's pass defense looks good on paper, especially

277
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: since Jalen Ramsey's return, but five of the past six

278
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: quarterbacks to face Miami either are or were backups, so

279
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: I think they're kind of a paper tiger. The handful

280
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: of capable passers to face Miami all year have generally

281
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: fared well, although not explosively. Jackson has rushed for at

282
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: least forty yards and seven straight games, but no quarterback

283
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: is top twenty five rushing yards against Miami all year,

284
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,199
Speaker 1: so the rushing is not an automatic. And I've got

285
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 1: a B grade on Lamar Jackson. B great on Zay Flowers.

286
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 1: No rookie wall here for Jay Flowers at all. Playing

287
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: his most impactful football in December, He's now scored in

288
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: three of his last four games. He's coming off a

289
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: career high thirteen targets against San Francisco, and it is

290
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: a dream matchup for Flowers if they decide to run

291
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: him in the slot, which he normally plays outside left

292
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: right slot evenly, but he's their best slot receiver, and

293
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: if they go in the slot against cater Ko who,

294
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: this could be a big game. He allows a one

295
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty passer rating. He's been burned for six scores.

296
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: That is the third most of all players in the NFL.

297
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: Zay Flowers, good luck grade, good luck. I like that opportunity. Yeah,

298
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: Isaiah Likely since taking over from Mark Andrews averaging a

299
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: healthy six targets per game, more than any Ravens wide

300
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: out other than Jay Flowers. He's a downfield dread. He's

301
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: averaging almost fifteen yards per reception for Isaiah Likely. He's

302
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: so athletic and so fast. The Dolphins used linebacker Duke

303
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: Riley to cover tight ends. He's allowing a sixty eight

304
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: percent catch rate, which is pretty good. Likely. He's only

305
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: been targeted in the red zone one time, and granted,

306
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: you know he's only been starting for a month, but

307
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: still the fact that he's only gotten one red zone

308
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 1: target tells you that his upside's probably capped here. And

309
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: I've only got a C grade on Isaiah Likely. Gus

310
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: Edwards clocks in with a C grade. He saw an

311
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: uptick in usage last week with Keaton Mitchell out but

312
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: saw fewer snaps than Justice Hill, who remains very involved.

313
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: Frustratingly involved, though in fairness, Justice Hill didn't look bad

314
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: last week. Gus gives you touchdowns and he continues to

315
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: give you a lot of goal line looks, including three

316
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: carries last week from inside the five yard line. You're

317
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: here for the touchdowns with Gus. I think he's you've

318
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: got a slightly better than coin Flip's chance to get one,

319
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: even though only Derrick Henry has scored on the ground

320
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 1: against this team Miami since week eight. Gus Edwards c grade.

321
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: When we come back, take a chance on me. You've

322
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: already gotten a sneak preview. If you've paid attention, you

323
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: already know two players that are coming. In addition to

324
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: those Saints players. Find out the other seven players that

325
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: you could potentially pick up off the waiver wire and

326
00:15:42,120 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 1: start this week. When we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly,

327
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: take a chance on me. Nine players not normally in

328
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: your starting lineup. Many of these guys available on the

329
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: waiver wire. It's championship week, but with all the injuries

330
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: and all the weirdness that's going on this week, these

331
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 1: guys might be able to help you legitimate chances to

332
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: pick up players that will give you a championship. We

333
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: begin at the quarterback position. Matt Harrison.

334
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 4: Now, I'm not advocating that everyone should start Gardner Minshew

335
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 4: this week, but I'm forced to do so in a

336
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 4: super flex league. So if you want to have you know,

337
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 4: the solidarity with me here. But I don't feel too

338
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 4: poorly about having them go up against the Raiders. The

339
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 4: Raiders have allowed games of over two hundred and fifty

340
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 4: passing yards to Zech Wilson and Easton Stick in the

341
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 4: last six weeks. They've also allowed multiple touchdown passes in

342
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 4: three of their last five, and Minshew runs the ball

343
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 4: about four times per game. Since Week nine, five different

344
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 4: quarterbacks hit the four rush attempt mark against the Raiders.

345
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 4: Their average rushing line is thirty one yards, and none

346
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 4: of them were premier rushing quarterbacks. So two point fifty

347
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 4: through the air a solid chance of two scores and

348
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 4: thirty yards on the ground. I'll take it.

349
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,440
Speaker 5: You take a chance on me quarterback, or I'm going

350
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 5: with Tyrod Taylor against the Rams. In his last start

351
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 5: Week seven against Washington, twenty six fantasy points, two hundred

352
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 5: and seventy nine passing yards two touchdowns. Last week in

353
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 5: relief one hundred and thirty three passing yards one touchdown.

354
00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 5: He did have the interception twenty one rushing yards. Of course,

355
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 5: he gives you that dual threat ability to adding to

356
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 5: the fantasy value. Five quarterbacks in a row have scored

357
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 5: at least twenty fantasy points against the Rams. That defense

358
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 5: gives up lots of fantasy points to quarterbacks. I think

359
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 5: Tyrod could steal some here if in two quarterback league especially,

360
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 5: I think he's startable.

361
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: Derek Carr loved this matchup against the Bucks. He's the

362
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: ultimate hit or miss quarterback. He's got six games with

363
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: over three hundred yards and five games at one nine

364
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: or less. Even though Carr missed in the first matchup

365
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,880
Speaker 1: with the Bucks, that was way back in Week four,

366
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 1: and the Bucks pass defense has degraded massively. We heard

367
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: Thorp hit on some of this already. Since we gate,

368
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 1: the Bucks lowed the most passing yards three hundred per game.

369
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 1: Five of the past nine quarterbacks have topped three hundred yards,

370
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: and the few quarterbacks they have held down since Week

371
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 1: six or first year starters or have been benched at

372
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: least one time. So I love the opportunity for Derek Carr. Here,

373
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:42,480
Speaker 1: let's go to the running backs.

374
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,880
Speaker 4: Matt Zamir Whites my pick at running back. He's going

375
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 4: against the Colts this week. First off, Josh Jacobs hasn't

376
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 4: practiced this week, just was downgraded to doubtful, so it's

377
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 4: likely White's backfield again. And it was his backfield last

378
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 4: week against a much tougher Chiefs defense. He had twenty

379
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 4: two carries one hundred and forty five yards in that game.

380
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 4: It's much easier against the Colts. In the last six

381
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:07,280
Speaker 4: games that Indy has played, ten different running backs have

382
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,719
Speaker 4: hit the double digit PPR mark against them. That's in

383
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 4: six games. They're allowing about one hundred and fifty two

384
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 4: combo yards per game and over a touchdown per game

385
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 4: to opposing runners. It's all Zamir White, and I would

386
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 4: guess charge that you probably have him in your top

387
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 4: ten in running backs this week.

388
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, right now, he's sitting at twelve,

389
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: but I'm I may be inching him up higher than that.

390
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: It's gonna be very close. White looked frankly awesome, pretty

391
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: good to the Chiefs last week.

392
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 4: He will be there starting running back next year.

393
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: I think that's I think that is correct. So you

394
00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:42,120
Speaker 1: take a chance on me running back.

395
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 5: I got someone else for you to inch up in

396
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 5: your rankings. You're gonna have to go a little bit

397
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 5: lower down. But I like this this guy for this game,

398
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 5: and I love him for next year. Julia McLaughlin against

399
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 5: the Chargers here. So I'm gonna start this off with

400
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 5: an early twenty twenty four hot take. I think this

401
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 5: kid is a top twenty five all fantasy running back

402
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,600
Speaker 5: next year because I think Sean Payton is looking at

403
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 5: him as his Elvin Kamara. Last week, McLaughlin had ten

404
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 5: touches for sixty seven total yards. I think another sneaky

405
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 5: strong game is coming here. Also, keep in mind the

406
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 5: Broncos they don't care about winning here. They just bench

407
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 5: their quarterback for financial reasons. Why would they not get

408
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 5: McLaughlin more usage, looks, touches everything here in the last

409
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 5: couple of games. And the Chargers have a horrific running defense.

410
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,400
Speaker 5: Since Week eleven, they've copped up the thirteenth highest explosive

411
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 5: run rate, ninth most rushing yards per game. You can

412
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 5: run on those guys, you can catch on those guys.

413
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 5: McLaughlin can do both. I think a decent games coming

414
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 5: here for him.

415
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams usage keeps going down, and I guess my

416
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 1: thinking was that'll reverse this week now that they've got

417
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: Jared Stidham at quarterback. But maybe those extra reps just

418
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: go to Julia McLaughlin.

419
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 5: And by the way, contextually, Denver badly needs to move

420
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 5: up and draft order for next year.

421
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: They don't have any cap room now. They don't have

422
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 1: a quarterback.

423
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 5: There's at most if JJ McCarthy comes out, it's four

424
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 5: deep in round one. If JJ McCarthy doesn't come out,

425
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 5: it's three deep. They need to get his h Ken. Yeah,

426
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,479
Speaker 5: I'm not saying there's been discussions there, but there may

427
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 5: have been discussions there.

428
00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: Kenneth Gainwell goes up against the Cardinals. They've allowed the

429
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 1: most fantasy points to running backs, the fourth most rushing

430
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: touchdowns to running backs, and the second most rushing yards

431
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: to running backs. So many backup runners have posted good

432
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,120
Speaker 1: days against Arizona. I'm not going to waste your time

433
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 1: by listing them all here and burning up valuable minutes

434
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: of this show. They've also allowed the most receiving touchdowns

435
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,360
Speaker 1: to running backs, and that's more Gainwell's game than Swift's game.

436
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 1: Gainwell averaging thirty two snaps per game over the last month.

437
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: That is a big uptick from earlier in the year.

438
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,199
Speaker 1: And if you think the Eagles are gonna get way

439
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: ahead of Arizona, Swift could get rested for much of

440
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: this game as they start saving him for the playoffs

441
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: and the game script's gonna turn run heavy. Kenneth Gainwell

442
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 1: nice opportunity this week. Let's go to the receivers, including

443
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:03,159
Speaker 1: the tight end position.

444
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 4: Man, I've got Brandon Cooks and I'll tell you a

445
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,199
Speaker 4: little bit about it later, but I think this is

446
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 4: a huge passing day for the Cowboys offense. I think

447
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 4: Dak could throw the ball fifty times in this game,

448
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 4: fifty fifty. Cooks will line up most often against corner

449
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 4: Khalil Dorsey, who will likely be covering for the injured

450
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 4: Cameron Sutton. He's only been on the field for fifty

451
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 4: one snaps this year, and last week against the Vikings,

452
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 4: Nick Mullins only threw at him three times, but it

453
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 4: ended up with fifty three yards in a touchdown and

454
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 4: the score. He was completely fooled and just burned so

455
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 4: badly by kJ Osborne. It's funny. He like almost fell over.

456
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 4: It was so bad. So But even if Cameron Sutton

457
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:41,920
Speaker 4: does go this week, he's allowing a one h nine

458
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,120
Speaker 4: passer rating in his coverage, and on the other side,

459
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 4: Jerry Jacobs is allowing a one oh seven passer rating.

460
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 4: By the way, if you're completely desperate for a wide receiver,

461
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 4: Michael gallups a bonus. Take a chance on me guy

462
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 4: here extra yeah.

463
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: Extra player. I like it, all right, let's go to

464
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: thor You're take a chance from your receiver.

465
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 5: I'm digging at the bottom of the barrel here and

466
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 5: I hate myself for doing it, but I'm gonna advocate

467
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 5: for Jonathan Mingo here against the Jaguars. He's only wide

468
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 5: receiver seventy seven and fantasy has zero touchdowns. But this

469
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 5: is an ideal matchup for a late season showcase for Mingo. Obviously,

470
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 5: Bryce Young's playing better. We'll talk about that more in

471
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 5: a bit, but here here's here's where the rubber meets

472
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 5: the row. Beyond that, Jaguars run a ton of too

473
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,399
Speaker 5: high coverage. Since Week eleven, Mingo has been Bryce Young's

474
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 5: too high safety blanket guy. Mingo has a twenty seven

475
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 5: percent target share and a forty percent first reach share

476
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 5: against too high coverage during that stretch. If he's ever

477
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 5: gonna break out this season, this is the game I'm going.

478
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: With our guy, Rashid Shiheed Door. Yes, the mutual love

479
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: fest for Shiheed, one of the break downfield bombs away

480
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: receivers among wideouts with at least thirty receptions. He's fifth

481
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,360
Speaker 1: in a dot at a whopping fourteen point nine yards.

482
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: He's a low volume guy, so you gotta pick your

483
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 1: spots and you need the deep connection. But it could

484
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 1: certainly follow happen here. The have dropped to twenty ninth

485
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: and yards allowed to opposing wide receivers twenty ninth and

486
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: fantasy points to wide receivers. The last two teams to

487
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: face the Bucks, Green Bay and Jacksonville, had there just

488
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 1: the wideouts total two hundred and fifteen yards and two

489
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty three yards, gigantic numbers against the Bucks.

490
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 5: Rashika Heat Bucks also give up the fourth most deep

491
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 5: yards in the NFL.

492
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 1: I love it, chicks loved that the long ball and

493
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: she heat hit some. Nothing not to like it, all right,

494
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: Raiders taking on the Colts Man.

495
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 4: Zamir White was my take a chance on me runner

496
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 4: and the Colts have a bad run defense, as I

497
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 4: talked about, but a really good pass defense. They've only

498
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 4: allowed one three hundred yard passer in their last eleven games,

499
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 4: and they're mostly giving up zero or one touchdown passes

500
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 4: in that time. So I don't like much of the

501
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,959
Speaker 4: Raiders passing game. If you're even thinking about starting eight

502
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 4: and O'Connell, I know, I just want to know what

503
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 4: kind of league are you in?

504
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: Well, the two quarterback league. Two quarterback managed like a

505
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 1: four quarterback league. We're gonna go as the rest of

506
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: our lives before a team fails to complete a pass

507
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 1: in the second, third, and fourth quarter and wins by

508
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. Yeah, probably two scores.

509
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 4: DeVante Adams is really only the consideration out of the

510
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 4: passing game. Even in the last month with O'Connell under center,

511
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 4: he's still averaging ten targets per game. He did ghost

512
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,199
Speaker 4: you last week in case, but so did most of

513
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 4: the offense. I'll give Adams a volume C grade at

514
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 4: the wide receiver position. That's it. On the Colt side,

515
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 4: I'm giving Jonathan Taylor an A grade here. I will

516
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 4: mention Zach Moss has practiced some this week in limited fashion.

517
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: But they ruled him out on Friday.

518
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,240
Speaker 4: Oh did they already do that? Well, that's great. That

519
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 4: makes it even easier. The Raiders have allowed the eighth

520
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 4: most combo yards in the league this year to opposing runners,

521
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 4: at one thirty three per game, and they allowed just

522
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 4: under a touchdown per game as well. I think it's

523
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 4: a twenty touch day for Taylor. If he gets the

524
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 4: twenty touches, one hundred combo yards and a score looks

525
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 4: like a lock. Michael Pittman did not play last week

526
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,679
Speaker 4: with a concussion. He's trending the right way and they

527
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 4: took off the injury report. He's been limited in practice

528
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 4: all week with the non contact injury on. But he's

529
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 4: gonna be active and he's gonna go right back to

530
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 4: double digit targets, as he's had in four of his

531
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 4: last five match up. Middle of the pack. The top

532
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 4: wide receivers for teams have done pretty good against the Raiders,

533
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 4: though Saint Brown, Garrett Wilson, Tyreek, Rashie Rice, even Josh

534
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 4: Palmer had great fantasy days against the Raiders in the

535
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 4: past seven weeks. So Pittman gets a solid B. Josh

536
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 4: downs an interesting dart throw as well. I'll give him

537
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 4: a C grade. He runs from the slot, he'll mostly

538
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 4: see Nate Hobbs. The Chiefs picked on Hobbs last week.

539
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 4: Get this, They targeted him eleven times last week, eight

540
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 4: catches seventy two yards in a score coming in his coverage.

541
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 4: They absolutely just murdered Nate Hobbs. Gardner Minshew as might

542
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 4: take a chance on me quarterback. All done, Let's go

543
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 4: to the Rams taking on the Giants.

544
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: Since the tenth game of the season for the Rams,

545
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford went from well, let me phrase this better.

546
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 1: Weeks one through nine, Matthew Stafford was core Fantasy quarterback

547
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 1: D three, one spot ahead of Mac Jones. Then from

548
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: week ten to now he's quarterback two in Fantasy PS.

549
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: So now he gets the Giants. On paper, they look

550
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 1: like an OK pass defense, but good passers like Stafford

551
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: have torn him up all year.

552
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 5: What do you think I'm giving him a B. The

553
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 5: context is great there. I mean, yeah, he's been killing

554
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,400
Speaker 5: at the last five games and also the past two.

555
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 5: You want to go to that and look at a

556
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 5: different metric. PFF grades above ninety flat.

557
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,959
Speaker 1: Each of those two games. So He's been playing great,

558
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:34,479
Speaker 1: and obviously you mentioned the matchup.

559
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 5: Derek Carr and Jalen Hurts both finished his top ten

560
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:39,679
Speaker 5: fantasy quarterbacks last two weeks against the Giants. I just

561
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 5: think that more the usage is going to be going

562
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 5: on the ground here a little bit, so I'm putting

563
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 5: Stafford out of b Kyrien Williams. I give him an

564
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 5: a RB two and fantasy points per game number one

565
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 5: in snapshare since returning from his injuries, averaging twenty six

566
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 5: touches one hundred and thirty eight total yards per game.

567
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 5: Killer shout out to Brian Johnson, who's banging the drum

568
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 5: for him all summer and contextually, since Week eleven, the

569
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 5: Giants have allowed the fifth most run yards per game.

570
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:06,400
Speaker 1: Very good matchup for him.

571
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 5: I'm giving Puka an a here a Puka Nakua my

572
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 5: boy wide receiver nine in Fantasy points per game number

573
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 5: six and receptions number three in receiving yards. Needs only

574
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 5: nine catches to break Jalen Waddles rookie record of one

575
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 5: hundred and four. Needs only one hundred and forty six

576
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 5: receiving yards to break Bill Grohman's record sid in nineteen

577
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 5: sixty Bill Groman, Bill Groman, all right, yeah, yeah, but yeah,

578
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 5: very close. And the Giants here have an average pass defense.

579
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 5: Puka's matchup proof. Either way, It's weird for me that

580
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,120
Speaker 5: my first take on this show, I'm never going to

581
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 5: top it with Oh you're ton Yeah, that's all all

582
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 5: downhill from there. But yeah, start, you're obviously starting Pooka.

583
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 5: You're gonna be starting Cooper Cup here as well. I'm

584
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 5: I'm giving him an A. Maybe I should bump Stafford

585
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 5: up to an A. You know, I got his about

586
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 5: these guys, but Cup wide receiver twenty four fantasy in

587
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 5: fantasy points per game.

588
00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 1: The aggressive Giants, You.

589
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 5: Guys know they love mar Martin Dale and those guys

590
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 5: they love funding the Blitz. Because of that, their top

591
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 5: five in single high coverage rates since week eleven. Cooper

592
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 5: Cup is the guy that leads the rams and target

593
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 5: share against single high coverage since week twelve, when he's

594
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 5: been getting healthier. I had to shout out DeMarcus Robinson

595
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 5: in this and give him a C grade.

596
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: Man, I did not see this. Crazy. He's caught a

597
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,560
Speaker 1: touchdown in four straight games. Unreal.

598
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 5: There's only eight other wide receivers in the NFL. Who

599
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 5: can say the same this year. It is a very

600
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 5: short list just because of that and the chance that

601
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 5: it could happen in a fifth rate. He's startable in

602
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 5: bigger leads, especially as a flex kind of a guy.

603
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 5: I can't advocate for starting Tyler Higbee. There's just too

604
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 5: much inconsistency there. I think the usage here is all

605
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 5: going to the wide receivers, flipping over to the Giants

606
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 5: Tyret Taylor as might take a chance on me.

607
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: Quarterback Saquon Barkley. I give him a B.

608
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 5: He's running back ten and fantasy points per game number

609
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 5: four in snapshare.

610
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: But this is a brutal matchup.

611
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 5: As you guys know, only four running backs have scored

612
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 5: double digit fantasy points against the Rams since Week four,

613
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 5: and you go just back to week eleven, the Rams

614
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 5: have allowed the third fewest rushing yards per game. Not

615
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:07,720
Speaker 5: a great matchup. For sake one, he'll get the volume,

616
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 5: so we'll give him a bee. Darius Slayton and Wondale Robinson.

617
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 5: I'm gonna group them together, give them bull sees. Here's

618
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 5: the reason why Rams run a ton of single high coverage.

619
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 5: Robinson leads the Giants in single high target percentage the

620
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 5: last five games.

621
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: Slayton is number two. It's the guys that they look at.

622
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 5: The Rams have allowed the tenth most yards per game

623
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 5: to boundary wide receivers since Week ten. That's speaking to Slayton.

624
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 5: The Rams have also allowed the seventh most touchdowns to

625
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 5: slots in the same timeframe. That's speaking to Onan Dale.

626
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,920
Speaker 5: So they're potentially startable too if you're in a pinch.

627
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 5: Darren Waller, lastly, I give him a be no lower higher,

628
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 5: way lower lower. A limited practice on Wednesday, then the

629
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 5: issue did return in full on Thursday, so he looks

630
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 5: like he's gonna be a full go two games back.

631
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 5: Six catches for seventy two yards, no touchdowns, eleven targets,

632
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 5: but he gets a full game Tyrod Taylor here, I

633
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 5: think that really helps him. And the other thing that

634
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 5: really helps him, this is a really good matchup. The

635
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 5: Rams have loved the six most fantasy points per game

636
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 5: to tight ends this season, so that's why I got

637
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 5: to stick with.

638
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: The b I'm mister Waller. Matt was right all along,

639
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: and Waller he all off seas shout out to me,

640
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 1: don't don't do it, don't do it, And I did it.

641
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 3: Was right.

642
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: I bid on that on Twitter. I asked people earlier

643
00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: this week, if you're in the championship game, what was

644
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: the one move, the one decision that got you here?

645
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: The two answers overwhelmingly two of the three, Tyron Williams,

646
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 1: Hohoka Nakuwa, both of them on this show from preseason,

647
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:44,640
Speaker 1: not me. That was Store and that was Brian. Well done, guys.

648
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 6: Nice.

649
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: When we come back Cardinals and Eagles, we'll talk through

650
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 1: that matchup this It sounds pretty straightforward, but is James

651
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: Connor somebody you can trust? Find out when we come back.

652
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charchi and Matt

653
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 1: Harrison Thorn Eistrom with you big block of matchups right here,

654
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: beginning with Arizona taking on Philadelphia. James Connor has been

655
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: matchup proof of late, despite some very tough opponents. In

656
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: another one here, He's scored four times in his last

657
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: three games. He's reached at least eighty nine combo yards

658
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 1: in three games straight. And meanwhile, Philly's normally very tough

659
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: run defense has allowed a rushing score in four consecutive

660
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: games and at least eighty four total yards to a

661
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: runner in five straight games, so they're yielding right now.

662
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: James Connor safe start B great. Now the passing game

663
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: is going to be with our Marquis Brown, who went

664
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:04,080
Speaker 1: on season ending. I are you'll remember a free agency

665
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,720
Speaker 1: awaits the next step for Marquise Brown, and he demanded

666
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,000
Speaker 1: a trade because he wanted to get off out of

667
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Yeah, I was. That's ultimately not gonna have

668
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: proven to be a very good choice. Trey McBride's the

669
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 1: only receiver you'd think about starting here. Mixed outlook for

670
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: McBride since way back in Week eight. He's averaging a

671
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: whopping nine targets per game nine and volume tight ends

672
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: farewell against the Eagles. Tight Ends with six or more

673
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: targets are averaging sixty yards and almost a full touchdown

674
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: per game against Philly. But you may recall the Eagles

675
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: added linebacker Shack Leonard, who's very good in coverage, and

676
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: no opposing tight end has scored against the Eagles since

677
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: he arrived. So I can only get you to a

678
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 1: B grade on Trey McBride, Kyler Murray C grade without Brown,

679
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: he's pretty ham strung with only Rondel Moore and Greg

680
00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: Dortsch at wide receiver. Eagles are a soft matchup. They

681
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 1: allow the second most fantasy points to quarterbacks, and they've

682
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: faced backup quarterbacks the last couple of weeks and been

683
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: yielding to them, and in prior to that, they're getting

684
00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 1: really killed, allowing six straight quarterbacks to throw multiple touchdowns.

685
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: The only mobile quarterback to face the Eagles all year,

686
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, rolled up eighty one yards and two scores.

687
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: So maybe Murray helps you out on the ground C grade.

688
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: Let's cover to the Philly side Jalen Hurts and aj

689
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,880
Speaker 1: Brown obvious as against the Cardinals. Don't have to spend

690
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: any time on that. DeAndre Swift also clocks in with

691
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: an A grade. Earlier, I told you Kenneth Gainwell might

692
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 1: take a chance on me running back. So for all

693
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: the same reasons, I love DeAndre Swift even more because

694
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 1: he's going to get way more work. So an obvious

695
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: start an A grade for DeAndre Swift as well, and

696
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: then a couple of guys that are a little murkier

697
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:47,240
Speaker 1: DeVante Smith B grade for him when Dallas got it returned.

698
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 1: I think we were all in this show. We talked

699
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: about this, We were worried that he'd eat into Smith's workload,

700
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: but that has not materialized at all. Smith's been very consistent.

701
00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: Going back two months. He's averaging six catches for eighty yards.

702
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: He hasn't on under fifty yards in any game in

703
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: two months. The Cardinals keep plowing through cornerbacks. You gonna

704
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: find anybody who's remotely competent at cornerback. They're now starting

705
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: something called Starling Thomas the Fifth.

706
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 4: You made that name up.

707
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: He is allowing receptions at the third highest rate in

708
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: the league. So DeVonta Smith B grade for him and

709
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard comes in with a C grade finally got

710
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: back to for him last week with his biggest game

711
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: since his injury. He's still suffering from a lack of

712
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: red zone usage, though, averaging just an eighteen percent target

713
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: share on red zone throws. It's just not getting the

714
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:38,319
Speaker 1: hand zone. The Cardinals have been a shockingly competent tight

715
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 1: end defense, but they were hit for big games the

716
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: past two weeks by Cole Kmett and George Kittle. Prior

717
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: to those two, no tight end to top forty yards

718
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 1: since all the way back in Week two can only

719
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: get you to a C grade. On Dallas Goddard. Next

720
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: game up, Detroit Lyons Dallas Cowboys. This is the Saturday

721
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: night game, Matt. This is two teams that may very

722
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 1: well end up me again in the playoffs. What do

723
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:01,879
Speaker 1: you think here?

724
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 4: They very much could. I'm gonna start with a Monross

725
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 4: Saint Brown. I'm giving him an A. The Cowboys have

726
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 4: allowed the fifth most receiving yards to opposing wide receivers

727
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 4: over the last five weeks, but the rest of the

728
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,800
Speaker 4: receivers are a dart throw at best, as Josh Reynolds,

729
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 4: Jamison Williams, and Khaliff Raymond are about an even split

730
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 4: of snaps recently. The best out of those bunch would

731
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 4: be Williams, who's seeing the most targets. But I don't

732
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 4: think i'd start any of those guys. Sam Laporte, I'm

733
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 4: just giving him a C grade in this game. Ever

734
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 4: since George Kittle put up three touchdowns on three catches

735
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 4: against Dallas in Week five, tight ends have basically disappeared

736
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 4: against the Cowboys in the ten weeks since Week five.

737
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 4: The very best game for a tight end against Dallas

738
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 4: was Gerald Everett's three catches sixteen yards in a score.

739
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 4: What that was the best game of the game. They

740
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 4: haven't played a ton of great tight ends in that span,

741
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 4: mostly just Dallas Goddard twice, but they've only allowed three

742
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,799
Speaker 4: tight end scores in the last ten games, and no

743
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,320
Speaker 4: tight end is top sixty yards. Jared Goff gets a

744
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 4: B grade. Traditional pocket pass types have had some recent

745
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 4: success against the Cowboys. Sam Howell and Gino Smith both

746
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 4: top three hundred yards in recent weeks, and Tua got

747
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 4: to two ninety three last week, So a B grade

748
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 4: for Goff. Montgomery and Jamier Gibbs they're both getting B

749
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 4: grades as well. The recent snap counts favor Gibbs, but

750
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 4: Montgomery still averages more opportunities per game seventeen and a

751
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 4: half for Montgomery, fifteen and a half for Gibbs over

752
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 4: the last five weeks. That's enough of a workload for

753
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,319
Speaker 4: both to be startable, and both rank amongst the top

754
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 4: twelve in the league, both scoring at a pretty high clip.

755
00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,760
Speaker 4: Gibbs has scored in seven of his last nine Monty

756
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 4: and nine of the twelve games he's played this year.

757
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:38,839
Speaker 1: I think that both of them are getting fed like that.

758
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, the end zone, it's awesome, and Dallas is run

759
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 4: the very enigmatic. They've They gave up only ninety one

760
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,240
Speaker 4: yards on the ground to the group of Miami backs

761
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 4: last week. That's great, but they allowed two hundred and

762
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:51,720
Speaker 4: forty four rushing yards to the Bills the week before.

763
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 4: On the other side, Cede Lamb and Dak Prescott both

764
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 4: get A grades. It's much easier to pass on Detroit

765
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:59,600
Speaker 4: than Ron, as the Lions are seeing almost a two

766
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 4: to one split in pass attempts to rushing attempts because

767
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:05,280
Speaker 4: the Lions pass defense has been as my kids say,

768
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 4: sus secondary wide receivers have been in the mix two,

769
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,879
Speaker 4: which is why Brandon Cooks was might take a chance

770
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 4: on me wide receiver. I do like Jake Ferguson enough

771
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 4: to give him a start to he gets a B.

772
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 4: Fantasy relevant tight ends have done well against the Lions. TJ.

773
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 4: Hockinson was at four for fifty eight before tearing his

774
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 4: ACL last week. Cole Comet five for sixty six. Mark

775
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 4: Andrews went four for sixty three and two scores. And

776
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 4: that's all the tight ends they faced this year. That's it.

777
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 4: They faced like nobody else that's any good. The Lions

778
00:38:36,719 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 4: have still allowed the eleventh most receiving yards to the

779
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 4: tight end position after facing nobody. So Jake Ferguson's a b.

780
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 4: I think the toughest decision in this whole game is

781
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:47,759
Speaker 4: Tony Pollard, and I saved him for.

782
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 1: Last Boy did he erase a touchdown last week? Did

783
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: you guys see this run? He's got like clear angle

784
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 1: to the corner of where you know where the pylon is. Nope,

785
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 1: turns it upfield, goes right into a guy.

786
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 3: I'm like, you've got it.

787
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 4: Be kidding me like a six year old playing Madden Racer.

788
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 4: So the Lions run defense has been great all year.

789
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 4: No running back has topped sixty seven yards on the

790
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 4: ground against Detroit this year. They allow an average of

791
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 4: fifty nine yards per game to opposing runners. They've allowed

792
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 4: the fourth fewest receptions to opposing backs, and no runner

793
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 4: has scored a touchdown through the air on Detroit all year.

794
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 4: Pollard's workload in the last two games has been way

795
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 4: down to eleven carries and twelve carries for ninety total

796
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 4: yards in those two contests.

797
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: But Rico o'dowdell out, So maybe he you know, they've

798
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 1: just got to be He's gonna get the ball forced

799
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: back into his hand.

800
00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 4: I've got Tony Pollard on the bench. Forty five yard

801
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 4: day for Pollard coming here, no touchdowns. He's gonna get

802
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 4: swallowed up and he's not going to do anything.

803
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:44,719
Speaker 6: Man.

804
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: I thought I had I had him down a running

805
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,160
Speaker 1: back twenty eight, which I thought was low.

806
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 4: How about eighty two. Let's invert that, Carolina Jacksonville.

807
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: You took the thor you took the bold move of

808
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: putting Jonathan Mingo as you take a chance on me

809
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 1: wide out. I'm assuming you like Adam Feelin in this

810
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: game as well.

811
00:40:01,800 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 5: Well, I'm gonna give him a c you know. I

812
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 5: think Mingo steps up in DJ Shark. I'll talk about

813
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:09,080
Speaker 5: him in a second. I also give dj ac but

814
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 5: Thielan showing his age a little bit. Zero touchdowns since

815
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,640
Speaker 5: week six, He's only top fifty receiving yards three times

816
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,839
Speaker 5: since week eleven. It is a decent matchup, though, if

817
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 5: you are desperate. The Jaguars have allowed the fifth most

818
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 5: PPR points per target to slot wide receivers since week ten.

819
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,319
Speaker 5: DJ Shark, I also give him a seed. He's been

820
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 5: a benefactor of Bryce Young's improved play. Six catches for

821
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,480
Speaker 5: ninety eight yards and two touchdowns last week against the Packers,

822
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 5: and this is a revenge game for mister Shark. Shark

823
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 5: has scored more than ten Fantasy points in his last

824
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,279
Speaker 5: two games against X teams. It's obviously playing one here

825
00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 5: in the Jaguars if you like that angle. Bryce Young

826
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,879
Speaker 5: mentioned he's turned in the corner since week fifteen, top

827
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 5: ten in yards per attempt average and pass for rating.

828
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 5: This is a good matchup for him as well to

829
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 5: keep the good times rolling. Since week twelve, Jacksonville's bottom

830
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,760
Speaker 5: seven in passing yards allowed per game, yards per attempt

831
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:03,240
Speaker 5: a lot, and passing touchdowns as well, so we give.

832
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:04,840
Speaker 1: Him a c CHEWBA Hubbard.

833
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 5: I'm also giving him a seas.

834
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 1: All around toss and seas everywhere.

835
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 5: Double digit points in five straight for Cuba minimum of

836
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,280
Speaker 5: seventeen touches in each of those games. He was limited

837
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 5: in practice on Wednesday and Thursday with his hamstring injury,

838
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 5: but was cleared to play on Friday, so he's a

839
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,319
Speaker 5: full go. Keep in mind, though, even if he's not

840
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,919
Speaker 5: one hundred percent, his backup Miles Sanders with his toe

841
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:26,200
Speaker 5: he is also not one hundred percent, so I don't

842
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 5: know how they're going to mix a match there. Jacksonville

843
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:31,399
Speaker 5: has allowed more than thirteen fantasy points to running backs

844
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 5: in five straight games. Because Jacksonville gives up the number

845
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 5: one most receptions to opposing running backs, good matchup for

846
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 5: Chuba if he is healthy enough to take advantage of it.

847
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 5: But because there's a question about that, that's why I

848
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,480
Speaker 5: dined him down to a sea. You guys recall Mingo

849
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,399
Speaker 5: was my take a chance on me receiver. Moving over

850
00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 5: to Jacksonville, Trevor Lawrence was ruled out for this game

851
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,280
Speaker 5: on Friday with his right shoulder injury.

852
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 1: With CJ. Bethards starting, you have to tick down the

853
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 1: rest of the offense. I think Bethards looked non awful.

854
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, not awful, but you know, certainly a downgrade from

855
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:08,319
Speaker 5: Pete Lawrence, Travis etn. He's got the best grade that

856
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 5: I'm gonna give out on Jacksonville side.

857
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: I give him a bee with a bit of trepidation

858
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:13,560
Speaker 1: all time. Man, I would too.

859
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, only eight Fantasy points per game in his last

860
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 5: two on fewer than three yards per rush. I don't

861
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 5: know what you know, what juice has been zapped out

862
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 5: of him? Hasn't looked the same. He's only RB thirty

863
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 5: in fantasy since Week ten, but unless he is out

864
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 5: of gas, a bounce back game is coming here. The

865
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 5: Jaguars are going to need to keep this on the

866
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 5: ground more to protect CJ. Bethard and the Panthers allow

867
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 5: an average of twenty six fantasy points per game to

868
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,359
Speaker 5: opposing running backs. Kelvin Ridley I give him a seed

869
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,839
Speaker 5: working with Bethard six catches for ninety yards and two

870
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:47,960
Speaker 5: touchdowns on nine targets last week, but this is obviously

871
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,280
Speaker 5: an if your outlook, Plus it's not the best matchup

872
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 5: for him. The Panthers have allowed the fourth lowest fantasy

873
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:55,120
Speaker 5: points to wide receivers.

874
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 1: Jay Jones is iffy for this game.

875
00:42:57,719 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 5: Makes Ridley the only startable wide receiver on the Jakes

876
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,160
Speaker 5: for me, especially with Bethard. I don't care if Jay

877
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 5: plays or not. Evan Ingram I give him a seat.

878
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 5: Tight end six in fantasy and what has been a

879
00:43:06,760 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 5: career best season number five and deep targets number seventeen

880
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 5: in red zone targets, but this is a tough matchup here,

881
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 5: even beyond CJ. Bether being behind center, Panthers have held

882
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 5: tight ends to the sixth fewests receiving yards this season.

883
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you know with ETN really struggling down

884
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: the stretch. Yeah, yeah, believe that's right. It's gonna be

885
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 1: tank timing in week seventeen. I would love it. I

886
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: would love it. I would love it too. It ain't happening.

887
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,680
Speaker 1: That was a bad call. Bye for some of us.

888
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,240
Speaker 1: Thanks for coming back for our number two Fantasy football weekly,

889

Speaker 1: Matt is at Explosive Output and Thor's at thor Ku.

896
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: How did a Ku do in They're Bowl game?

897
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 3: We won?

898
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 1: We beat UNLV Rock Chalk Baby Ada boy. Nicely done.

899
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 1: Let's go right into the questions. Three tough questions.

900
00:44:35,480 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 6: Play line Tough question number one.

901
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: What's the most important rule change for twenty twenty four

902
00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: to get on the books now while people are still

903
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 1: in fantasy football mode? I like bringing up your rule

904
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:51,719
Speaker 1: changes for next year now, when everybody's everybody's it's all

905
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 1: top of mind right now. Usually people wait until August,

906
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: they're trying to do it on draft day or whatever.

907
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:02,240
Speaker 1: Now's the time to get this stuff done. So again

908
00:45:02,320 --> 00:45:04,480
Speaker 1: we begin with Matt Harrison. What's the most important rule

909
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 1: change to get on the books now.

910
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:09,320
Speaker 4: One of the things I've liked recently, and this is

911
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 4: kind of a Scott fish Bowl kind of a kind

912
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 4: of a thing, is he added a lot of flex

913
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 4: positions to his thing, and I think adding another flex

914
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 4: to your league, I think is a fun way to

915
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,839
Speaker 4: do it. It's not a huge change to just add

916
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 4: one additional flex position you're starting lineup, and but oh

917
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 4: by the way, if you're not playing in a super

918
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 4: flex league, make that a super flex position because it

919
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:33,000
Speaker 4: makes the quarterback so much more fun. Unless the year

920
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:36,720
Speaker 4: is twenty twenty three, because there's not enough.

921
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: There's quarterbacks, yes, there is that at the NFL season

922
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,319
Speaker 1: is too long. Yeah, you know, everybody's hurt.

923
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:44,839
Speaker 4: They're they're going to go to eighteen weeks soon and

924
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 4: do a double bye week two. That's going to happen.

925
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: That's the wrong it's the wrong answer, it's the wrong

926
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,919
Speaker 1: solve for this problem thor what's the most important rule

927
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 1: change for twenty twenty four? Fantasy owners can get on

928
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:56,799
Speaker 1: the books now.

929
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 5: So I would have said the higher seed getting to

930
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 5: pick their opponent playoffs, So we did. We did that

931
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 5: now that I learned about that, But we talked about

932
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:04,839
Speaker 5: that last week, so I have.

933
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 1: A different one. This is more a qualm that I

934
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 1: have that I want fixed.

935
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,320
Speaker 5: Sites need to speed up how quickly they allow you

936
00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,799
Speaker 5: to put a guy on IR. We've we've all had

937
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 5: the guy who's injured and you know he's going to

938
00:46:15,719 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 5: be out, he's been ruled out, but they haven't changed

939
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 5: the designation to IR, so he can't put the guy

940
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:24,280
Speaker 5: on IR ergo. You can't sign his replacement for that week.

941
00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 5: There needs to be something done to change that to

942
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 5: expediate this process, whether they allow leagues to do it,

943
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 5: whether there's a setting that can be done, but you

944
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 5: have to be able to put a guy on the

945
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 5: IR earlier.

946
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: That's that's what I want change. I imagine there are

947
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 1: league settings where you can just let people put anybody

948
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:44,120
Speaker 1: on IR without them having to technically be on IR.

949
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 1: But the problem is now you're you're putting it on

950
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: my intuition and what I think, Right, I'm pretty sure

951
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,280
Speaker 1: he's not playing, so I'm stashing him on IR.

952
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, so it would be if that if you put

953
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 5: a guy on IR he ends up playing, you'd have

954
00:46:58,040 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 5: to give that team a zero.

955
00:46:59,239 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 1: You'd have to have a super punitive It has to

956
00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:05,680
Speaker 1: be very, very punitive. Free agent blind bidding is the

957
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 1: only way to go only. The only way to distribute

958
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: free agent is blind bidding. If you're using any other way,

959
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,439
Speaker 1: you are a You're not you know, it's a league

960
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:19,399
Speaker 1: of total casuals. I mean, you are not at all

961
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 1: fair minded. You are not at all serious about what

962
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 1: you're doing.

963
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 4: And every league software has it now, they all have

964
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,320
Speaker 4: they all have it. It's there, it's easy.

965
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:32,280
Speaker 1: Who did it first? I wonder was it commissioner? Product

966
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 1: was the first to allow blind bidding?

967
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,279
Speaker 4: Was it Fanball Commissioner way back in the day. You

968
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:39,760
Speaker 4: know it's funny by George two.

969
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:41,919
Speaker 3: Thousand and three, Like, yes, it.

970
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: Was, as a matter of fact, before you could do

971
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:47,240
Speaker 1: it anyplace else. Free agent blind bidding is the only

972
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 1: way to distribute players.

973
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,960
Speaker 6: Yes, tough question number twenty years ago.

974
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 1: Charge unreal and we're still banging the drum That was

975
00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 1: after we were like, you should really try auctioning. You're

976
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,760
Speaker 1: gonna like it. Christian McCaffrey will be the consensus first

977
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 1: overall pick next year. Who will be second? We go

978
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:08,440
Speaker 1: to thorn Eistrom.

979
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 5: I'm gonna I mean, I went back and forth on this.

980
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 5: I went, I'm gonna go with Tyreek Hill, But Breeshaw

981
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 5: would be my other answer because I think he could

982
00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 5: be the CMC Up next year. Breeseaw obviously he'll be

983
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 5: fully healthy then, And I wanted to toss a couple

984
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 5: of sleeper zone if I'm not gonna be stepping on

985
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 5: TOAs I think Kyrin Williams is a sleeper for this.

986
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: I also think Bjean if he gets a new coaching staff,

987
00:48:29,760 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: is a sleeper for this as well.

988
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,799
Speaker 5: All right, but your answer, my answer is tyreek Kill

989
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 5: officially locking it in Matt.

990
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:39,560
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey will be the consensus first overall pick next

991
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 1: year who will be second?

992
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:45,319
Speaker 4: I have Justin Jefferson as number two, and I think

993
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 4: that enough people will have figured out that, Yeah, Justin

994
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 4: Jefferson missed a few weeks last in twenty twenty three,

995
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 4: but in every week that he played, he's been awesome

996
00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 4: this year. So I can't see how the guy who's

997
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 4: won one gets an injury for a little bit of

998
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 4: the year comes back plays with basically nobody's at quarterback

999
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:07,760
Speaker 4: and is still putting up legit wide receiver one numbers.

1000
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 4: I think it's justin Jefferson.

1001
00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 1: I really went between those two, but it's to me,

1002
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:12,319
Speaker 1: it's between Jefferson and Hill.

1003
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 4: Was that was my choice.

1004
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: It was really difficult the part on Hill that I

1005
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:20,319
Speaker 1: found really interesting, and I was leaning Jefferson, and then

1006
00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 1: I got to Hill. He's gonna turn thirty next year.

1007
00:49:23,040 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 1: H but he's got three of the top ten ball

1008
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 1: carrier speeds on this season are still Tyreek Hill. I mean,

1009
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 1: he hasn't lost a step. He's having a career year

1010
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 1: at twenty nine. By any metric you want to throw

1011
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 1: at Tyreek Hill, this is his best season, even including

1012
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,799
Speaker 1: the Mahomes years. He's basically and here's the thing that

1013
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:45,440
Speaker 1: Tyrek Hill's really ironed out of his game, no dud

1014
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 1: games with Patrick Mahomes. He would go eight catches, one

1015
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy yards and two touchdowns, and then the

1016
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 1: next week he'd style you with three catches for thirty yards.

1017
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:57,320
Speaker 1: And no scores and he'd kill you. Basically, no duds

1018
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 1: this whole year. It's only twenty six, which is a

1019
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 1: big factor as well. We're locked in with competent quarterbacking

1020
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 1: there as well, justin Jefferson with Kirk Cousins. Average game

1021
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 1: with Kirk Cousins this year eight catches for one hundred

1022
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 1: and thirty six Starns in his Cousins games and the Vikings.

1023
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 1: You know, if there was any doubt in this front

1024
00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 1: office about how important Kirk Cousins was, you know, Nick

1025
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 1: Mullins and Josh Dobbs have removed that from this front office.

1026
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:29,840
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins is coming back to Minnesota.

1027
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 4: Did you see that the new Vegas odds on where

1028
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 4: Russell Wilson will land next year has Minnesota at the

1029
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 4: top to one, five to one.

1030
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 1: What No, let's hope that's not the case, but I

1031
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 1: can't right now as it stands today, as we're in

1032
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:49,880
Speaker 1: the final throes of December, we don't know that for

1033
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 1: sure who the quarterback for the Vikings is going to be.

1034
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 1: So I've got to give the edge to Tyreek Hill tough.

1035
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 6: Question number three.

1036
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:00,680
Speaker 1: How many running backs will be taken in the first

1037
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 1: round of a twelve team redraft next season. We've already

1038
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:08,840
Speaker 1: seen do the opposite start to take over. It's it

1039
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,240
Speaker 1: only took twenty years of talking about it on this show,

1040
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:13,879
Speaker 1: all right, So let's look forward to next season. How

1041
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:15,719
Speaker 1: many running backs are going to go in the first round?

1042
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:17,360
Speaker 1: We begin with Matt Harrison.

1043
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:23,240
Speaker 4: I've got five, Christian McCaffrey, Bryce Hall, Jamier Gibbs, Kyrine Williams,

1044
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:25,920
Speaker 4: and Jonathan Taylor. Those are my five that I have.

1045
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 4: The other guys I have going in the first round

1046
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 4: Jefferson Hill, Jamar Chase, Ceedee, lamb aj Brown, Monross, Saint Brown,

1047
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:36,840
Speaker 4: and Garrett Wilson kind of rounded it out. But Jalen

1048
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,760
Speaker 4: Hurts and Josh Allen have a thing to say about

1049
00:51:39,760 --> 00:51:41,399
Speaker 4: being at the tail end of the first round too.

1050
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,719
Speaker 1: So you got five, yep? All right? Soor how many

1051
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:46,640
Speaker 1: running backs will be taken in the first round of

1052
00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:48,840
Speaker 1: a twelve team red draft next season? You've already tipped

1053
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 1: your hand on several names.

1054
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 6: All right.

1055
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,439
Speaker 5: I have, and I had the same sort of thought

1056
00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:55,879
Speaker 5: process as mister Harrison. I also have five, just one

1057
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:58,840
Speaker 5: name is different from his list. Instead of Jonathan Taylor,

1058
00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 5: I bejon In there. I also have five running backs

1059
00:52:01,920 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 5: in Round one next year for running backs.

1060
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:07,839
Speaker 1: All right, your non run this last year's running back.

1061
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:09,919
Speaker 1: If you didn't draft Christian McCaffrey in the first round,

1062
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,680
Speaker 1: you got stung yep period. So you know everybody else

1063
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:14,719
Speaker 1: who drafted a running back, you know, and it's it's

1064
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:18,520
Speaker 1: basically this way pretty much every year. There's about one

1065
00:52:18,600 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 1: running back who ends up maintaining the value of the

1066
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,239
Speaker 1: first round pick, and everybody else gets smoked on their pick.

1067
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 1: And it's guys like Kyron Williams who show up basically

1068
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 1: out of nowhere that are housing leagues. People know that

1069
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: they're not taking They're not They're going to be hesitant

1070
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 1: to take running backs, including five. We only had three

1071
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:38,720
Speaker 1: go on average last year. He'll Chase Jefferson, lamb A. J. Brown.

1072
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:40,960
Speaker 1: I'm on Ross Saint Brown are locked in. People are

1073
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 1: going to go to court. These rushing quarterbacks are dominating leagues.

1074
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 1: Jalen hurts, Josh Allen. People are going to war this

1075
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:52,320
Speaker 1: week with Gardner Minshew there. People want these big bodied

1076
00:52:52,400 --> 00:52:55,920
Speaker 1: rushing quarterbacks who score touchdowns, have the incredibly high floor.

1077
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 1: It hurts and Allen are going to go in the

1078
00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 1: first round, Sam Laporta, it's gonna end up trending to

1079
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 1: the back of the first round.

1080
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 6: No, he won't.

1081
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 4: I think he'll be the first tight end off the board,

1082
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 4: but I don't think he'll make it to the first round.

1083
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 1: You know what, in a lot of leagues, you're probably right.

1084
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:13,480
Speaker 1: But I think there's still a lot of owners that

1085
00:53:13,520 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 1: are like, look, I just want to be done. I

1086
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:16,480
Speaker 1: want to be I want my tight end sure, and

1087
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna take it. I won't be able to I

1088
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 1: like it. There's gonna be one of you. There's gonna

1089
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 1: be a Thornniserman every one of my leagues. That only

1090
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:27,840
Speaker 1: leaves me with Christian McCaffrey in two more spots. So

1091
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 1: who the two are it's gonna be. I think it's

1092
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 1: gonna be Breese Hall Jonathan Taylor, but Jamior Gibbs might

1093
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:34,399
Speaker 1: be in there. Kirien Williams might be in there as well.

1094
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 1: Correct answer three running backs. Let's go back to the matchups,

1095
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 1: Atlanta taking on Chicago. Speaking of Bjeon Robinson, man, I'm

1096
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:47,919
Speaker 1: excited for their next coach, whoever that is, bears Arthur

1097
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: Smith out of there. It's gonna happen. If you know

1098
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 1: they know Arthur Blank knows it's it's gonna change. The

1099
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:55,560
Speaker 1: Bears are very good against the run, allowing the third

1100
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 1: fewest rushing yards no runner. Get this, for the Bears,

1101
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 1: no runners top seventy six yards all year. What a

1102
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:05,239
Speaker 1: great performance by them. But Robinson has a chance to

1103
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:08,960
Speaker 1: shine through the air against Chicago. They've allowed excuse me,

1104
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 1: they've allowed the second most receptions, the most receiving yards,

1105
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 1: and the second most receiving touchdowns allowed to running backs.

1106
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,359
Speaker 1: Robinson has top thirty routes run twice in the last

1107
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:21,319
Speaker 1: three weeks, so I mean they're using them through the air,

1108
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 1: so there should be opportunities for receptions. Be great on

1109
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 1: Bejon Robinson, but you know you're playing with Arthur Smith,

1110
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:30,360
Speaker 1: so you know there's plenty of fire here as well.

1111
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 1: Everybody else is on the bench, including this guy. Drake

1112
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:38,440
Speaker 1: London hasn't scored since Week four, and aside from his

1113
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:42,320
Speaker 1: totally unpredictable blow up game three weeks ago, he's averaging

1114
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 1: just four catches for forty eight yards. The Bear secondary

1115
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:50,000
Speaker 1: much improved. London's looking at a long game against Jalen Johnson,

1116
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 1: who's turned into one of the best cornerbacks in the league,

1117
00:54:52,640 --> 00:54:54,840
Speaker 1: so he's on the bench. Kyle Pitts is on the bench.

1118
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 1: He's scored in two of the past three, so there

1119
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 1: might be some temptation for Brian Johnson to use him here,

1120
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:02,200
Speaker 1: but the volume is so low. He's and he's always

1121
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:05,839
Speaker 1: a deeply unreliable play. And here it is our fantasy championship.

1122
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 1: The Bears have itIt excellent against tight ends. Other than

1123
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 1: David and Joku's blow up game two weeks ago, no

1124
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:14,279
Speaker 1: other tight end is top fifty yards since way back

1125
00:55:14,320 --> 00:55:15,760
Speaker 1: in Week five against Chicago.

1126
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 4: You know Brian's gonna cite Pitts. His two touchdowns in

1127
00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 4: the last three weeks is the reason to take him

1128
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 4: in the first round next ye that is probably true.

1129
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:25,719
Speaker 1: That is probably true. Let's go to the Chicago side.

1130
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 1: I've got a B grade on Justin Fields. Falcons a

1131
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 1: shockingly competent pass defense. Five of the past six opposing

1132
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 1: passers have thrown zero touchdowns. That's amazing, particularly you watch

1133
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:41,359
Speaker 1: Cole Comet and his injury status. They say we leave,

1134
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna go, and that would obviously help Justin Fields

1135
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 1: as well. You've got Dj Moore, big play downfield receiver

1136
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:51,840
Speaker 1: that's a positive play. We're gonna talk about him in

1137
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 1: a second. The Falcons allowed the fifth deepest a dot,

1138
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:56,719
Speaker 1: which abodes well for DJ Moore as well, So there

1139
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:59,720
Speaker 1: might be a downfield connection here for that, justin Field's

1140
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 1: ken exploit. But the real story with Fields is always

1141
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:04,760
Speaker 1: the rushing. The Falcons have allowed the ninth most quarterback

1142
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 1: rushing yards, fourth most quarterback rushing touchdowns. Pretty Much every

1143
00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 1: opposing quarterback who can run has run against the Falcons.

1144
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 1: B grade justin Fields, even if he doesn't get it

1145
00:56:14,560 --> 00:56:16,640
Speaker 1: done with his arm, which he might not. DJ Moore

1146
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:20,440
Speaker 1: comes in with a B grade. Since Field's return from injury,

1147
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:23,319
Speaker 1: Moore has seen nine targets per game, which is fantastic.

1148
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:27,560
Speaker 1: He's averaging six catches, seventy yards, three touchdowns in that timeframe. However,

1149
00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:30,040
Speaker 1: the Falcons have just shut down opposing receivers. They're giving

1150
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:32,719
Speaker 1: up the second fewest yards to receivers as well as

1151
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:35,960
Speaker 1: the third fewest receptions, just ten per game to the position,

1152
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:39,160
Speaker 1: which is nothing. Over the last seven weeks, only Chrystal

1153
00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:41,400
Speaker 1: Lobby's gone over one hundred yards and nobody else has

1154
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 1: had more than seventy seven, so tough matchup for more.

1155
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:48,360
Speaker 1: He's going to line up against Ajterrell a lot and

1156
00:56:48,400 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 1: that's not a great matchup. He gives up a reception

1157
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 1: in one out of every fourteen covered snaps.

1158
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:54,799
Speaker 4: That's it.

1159
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:56,960
Speaker 1: Darnel Mooney ruled out of this game, by the way,

1160
00:56:57,520 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 1: so More might get a couple extra targets his way

1161
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:03,440
Speaker 1: B grade and more B grade and Cole Comet. On Friday,

1162
00:57:03,680 --> 00:57:06,840
Speaker 1: he was described as looking pretty good, so hopefully that

1163
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:09,239
Speaker 1: means he's going to play. Coming off his first ever

1164
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 1: one hundred yard game. Comet's been targeted at least five

1165
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 1: times in seven of the last eight games, so we

1166
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 1: like the fact that he's a heavy part of this

1167
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:19,520
Speaker 1: game plan. And again, Darnell Mooney out. He runs from

1168
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:21,440
Speaker 1: the slot that opens up the middle of the field

1169
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 1: for Comet to get a couple extra looks so solid

1170
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 1: B grade here. Falcons give up the fifth most yards

1171
00:57:26,720 --> 00:57:30,919
Speaker 1: per game to opposing tight ends. Now, last week, Dot

1172
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 1: the Foreman got ruled out for personal reasons, which we

1173
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 1: alluded to on the show as a possibility. Didn't think

1174
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 1: it would actually happen, but it did. And then Khalil

1175
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: Herbert had the big game. But that it's a three

1176
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 1: way split and was a three way split before Foreman

1177
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 1: got ruled out, and I think we go right back

1178
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:47,960
Speaker 1: to it being a three way split and a much

1179
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 1: tougher matchup against a Falcons defense that's only given up

1180
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 1: one rushing touchdown all year at Lanta rank sixth and

1181
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:57,920
Speaker 1: run stuff win rate and first in run defense by

1182
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:01,800
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus. So all the Airs runners, including Khalil

1183
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 1: Herbert on the bench, let's take a break. When we

1184
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 1: come back. San Francisco forty nine ers in a slam

1185
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:13,320
Speaker 1: dunk matchup against the Washington Commanders. When we come back,

1186
00:58:13,400 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 1: Matt will tell you if there's anybody you would start

1187
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 1: that doesn't have an A grade, it could be just

1188
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:23,320
Speaker 1: an A grade across the board from everybody. Find out

1189
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:52,840
Speaker 1: when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. In what

1190
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 1: might be the most lopsided game of the year, San

1191
00:58:56,760 --> 00:59:00,440
Speaker 1: Francisco taking on Washington. This is the worst in the

1192
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:03,919
Speaker 1: league against arguably the best offense in the league. And Matt,

1193
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 1: if you just you know, if you just want to

1194
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:07,200
Speaker 1: say everybody gets an A, we could just move on.

1195
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:07,920
Speaker 1: Make this simple.

1196
00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 4: Almost almost It is a thirteen and a half point spread.

1197
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:16,160
Speaker 4: Are you going higher than that? Well, injuries are the

1198
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 4: story for the Niners right now. Tackle Trent Williams was

1199
00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 4: pulled from the blowout loss against Baltimore with a groin injury.

1200
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:24,560
Speaker 4: He's been limited all week. Brock Purdy also pulled last

1201
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:27,720
Speaker 4: week with his second stinger in as many weeks, but

1202
00:59:27,800 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 4: he's practiced in full. He's expected to go. You have

1203
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:33,440
Speaker 4: to give Perty that bounce back a grade against the

1204
00:59:33,440 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 4: horrible Washington defense. They've allowed the third most passing yards

1205
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:39,160
Speaker 4: at two hundred and seventy three per game, and opposing

1206
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 4: quarterbacks are averaging two point two touchdowns per game. That's

1207
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 4: the most in the league. Perty's favorite target, Deebo Samuel,

1208
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 4: also limited this week with what they're calling a sprained neck.

1209
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 4: I think he's gonna go. He's in a grade, and

1210
00:59:53,200 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 4: so has Brandon Nyuk. The Commanders have allowed double digit

1211
00:59:56,160 --> 01:00:01,480
Speaker 4: PPR points nine times to opposing wide receivers in just

1212
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:05,440
Speaker 4: the last four weeks. That's more than two a game.

1213
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 4: By the way, the Commanders will be without their top

1214
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 4: two perimeter corners and starting safety Percy Butler. It looks

1215
01:00:13,040 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 4: like somebody named Tariq castro Fields will be playing against

1216
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 4: the Niners on Sunday. He hasn't played a snap this year,

1217
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 4: But I mean.

1218
01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:23,640
Speaker 1: He could best, might be better.

1219
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 4: He could be better than what the Commanders have been

1220
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:30,840
Speaker 4: trotten out there. It's possible. George Kittle's matchup looks difficult,

1221
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 4: but it's mostly due to the fact that the Commanders

1222
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:36,440
Speaker 4: really haven't faced many good tight ends. Cole Comet, Kyle Pitts,

1223
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:39,160
Speaker 4: John Smith, Darren Waller, and Hunter Henry about the best

1224
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 4: they've faced all year. All of the above had thirteen

1225
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:46,280
Speaker 4: point PPR performances or better. I'll give Kittle a bee,

1226
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:49,160
Speaker 4: mostly because I'm afraid they could be sitting him in

1227
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 4: the second half.

1228
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 1: And then if by then maybe Kittle's already had let's hope.

1229
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:58,520
Speaker 4: So I just fear that one of these guys can't

1230
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:02,280
Speaker 4: have the huge game, and Christian McCaffrey's obviously an a.

1231
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 4: Since Montees Sweat left the defensive line, the Commanders have

1232
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:09,400
Speaker 4: given up a twenty point PPR day to every runner

1233
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 4: they've faced Gez every top running back. That's insane. It

1234
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:17,040
Speaker 4: is that's so good. On the Commander's side, it's not good.

1235
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 4: The Commanders are expecting Brian Robinson to go this week

1236
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 4: because he's clawing back from a hamstring injury. If he

1237
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:27,160
Speaker 4: can't go. It's basically Antonio Gibson all alone because Chris

1238
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:30,439
Speaker 4: Rodriguez is on ir now. Either way, the running back

1239
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:34,320
Speaker 4: in question is facing a defense that's allowing the second

1240
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 4: fewest rushing yards per game at only sixty five, and

1241
01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:40,600
Speaker 4: they've only given up nine total touchdowns all year to

1242
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:42,959
Speaker 4: the running back possession, which is eight best in the league.

1243
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 1: And the game script is gonna neutralize the running game

1244
01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:47,920
Speaker 1: for Washington anyway.

1245
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:51,040
Speaker 4: That's true. The Diners do face a lot of passes,

1246
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:54,840
Speaker 4: which that's why Jacoby Brissett is the guy that we're

1247
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 4: going with now. That just tells me that the Sam

1248
01:01:58,120 --> 01:01:59,919
Speaker 4: Howell experiment's completely over.

1249
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:02,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, we discussed it on this show last week. I

1250
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 1: think yeah, I think it's run its course. Unfortunately for

1251
01:02:06,760 --> 01:02:12,160
Speaker 1: my guy, who honestly was a legitimate fantasy factor for

1252
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:15,680
Speaker 1: about fourteen to fifteen weeks till the bottom just fell out.

1253
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 4: It did sound like a very sad wolf howl there.

1254
01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:23,560
Speaker 4: The Niners have more interceptions this year nineteen than touchdowns

1255
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:26,680
Speaker 4: allowed through the air seventeen, so you have a better

1256
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:30,000
Speaker 4: chance of throwing an interception than throwing a touchdown pass.

1257
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:32,959
Speaker 4: Brissette spread the ball around a lot in his action

1258
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:36,480
Speaker 4: last week. Five different players had two targets from him.

1259
01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:37,080
Speaker 6: In that game.

1260
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:39,840
Speaker 4: He only threw the ball thirteen times. Lots of those

1261
01:02:39,840 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 4: were very short passes, which plays better for Curtis Samuel

1262
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 4: and Logan Thomas. But you're not starting those guys in

1263
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 4: a fantasy championship, even with a game script that should

1264
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:50,640
Speaker 4: be filled with tons of garbage time. I can't find

1265
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 4: an angle to start a Commander's pass catcher in this one,

1266
01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 4: no at all.

1267
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:57,480
Speaker 1: I think Perssett is a sneaky start, like DFS super

1268
01:02:57,560 --> 01:03:01,120
Speaker 1: Flash quarterback, just all the garbage time in all the.

1269
01:03:01,080 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 4: Passes and not for all the money though in your

1270
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 4: fantasy league, for sure, I don't know.

1271
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 1: Barsetts looked good in these He keeps coming in like

1272
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 1: the final thirds of these games, and he looks good.

1273
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:14,160
Speaker 4: He's not the worst quarterback in the league, that's for sure.

1274
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:17,320
Speaker 1: No, apparently he's not the worst quarterback on his own team.

1275
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:21,080
Speaker 1: Tennessee taking on the Houston Texans. Soor we've seen the

1276
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:23,480
Speaker 1: best of Derrick Henry, the worst of Derrick Henry in

1277
01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:25,840
Speaker 1: just the last two weeks. So which version are we

1278
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 1: going to get here? The guy who struggled against Houston

1279
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 1: in the past. Are we going to get what do

1280
01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 1: you think? This is a tricky spot for Derrick Henry.

1281
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 5: We're going to get the C grade Derrick Henry that

1282
01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:37,720
Speaker 5: needs a touchdown to return value this week. He was

1283
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:40,160
Speaker 5: shut down by the Texans last time, as you alluded

1284
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:44,040
Speaker 5: to ten total yards on twenty touches no running back.

1285
01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:48,080
Speaker 1: That's insane, insane. Yeah, yeah, it almost seems like a typo.

1286
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:51,040
Speaker 5: No running back is top fifty six run yards versus

1287
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:54,040
Speaker 5: the Texans in their past five games. Like I said,

1288
01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 5: I think Henry needs a touchdown to return value this week,

1289
01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:00,400
Speaker 5: but I will say the game script isn't going to

1290
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:03,200
Speaker 5: matter for that. Ten of Henry's eleven touchdowns this year

1291
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 5: have come with the Titans down by seven or more points,

1292
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:08,720
Speaker 5: which is also indicative of the team being terrible. Speaking

1293
01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 5: of that, Will Levis given him a great to see here.

1294
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:15,480
Speaker 5: Zero finishes higher than QB fifteen since Week nine. He

1295
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:18,680
Speaker 5: was QB eighteen in the previous game against the Texans.

1296
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:22,439
Speaker 5: Not a bad matchup for potential improvement over that QB

1297
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:25,600
Speaker 5: eighteen number this time around. Since Week eleven, the Texans

1298
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:28,680
Speaker 5: are bottom ten and yards per attempt, passing yards per

1299
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 5: game and fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. DeAndre Hopkins

1300
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:34,800
Speaker 5: is the guy that you would want here. I'm going

1301
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:37,320
Speaker 5: to give him a be wide receiver thirty in fantasy.

1302
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:40,440
Speaker 5: He gets all the opportunities though, number one in deep targets,

1303
01:04:40,600 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 5: number seventeen in red zone targets, and it is a

1304
01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:45,840
Speaker 5: decent matchup if will Levis can get it there. Since

1305
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 5: Week ten, the Texans have allowed the fifth most receiving

1306
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:52,240
Speaker 5: yards per game to boundary wide receivers. And then, lastly,

1307
01:04:52,360 --> 01:04:54,800
Speaker 5: chig I'm going to give him a C tight end

1308
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:56,640
Speaker 5: twenty five and fantasy points per game.

1309
01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:59,240
Speaker 1: First touchdown of the season.

1310
01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:03,200
Speaker 5: Last night not not thrown by Wills by Tannahill, I

1311
01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:04,640
Speaker 5: was thrown by Derrick Henry.

1312
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:06,800
Speaker 1: Red zone looks are increasing.

1313
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:10,080
Speaker 5: I will say three of his five red zone targets

1314
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 5: on the year have come in the last seven games.

1315
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:16,480
Speaker 5: Relatively speaking, the Texans have allowed the third most receiving

1316
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 5: yards and six most fantasy points per game to opposing

1317
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:22,600
Speaker 5: tight ends. We give Chagas. Moving over to the Texans,

1318
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:25,080
Speaker 5: I give CJ. Stroud a B. Returning from his two

1319
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:28,560
Speaker 5: game absence due to the concussion. He missed the last

1320
01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:32,680
Speaker 5: game against the Tennessee in Week fifteen. Stroud is averaging

1321
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:35,520
Speaker 5: twenty eight Fantasy points in seven home games. This one's

1322
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:38,760
Speaker 5: at home QB seven and fantasy points per game overall,

1323
01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:41,280
Speaker 5: and two of the past four quarterbacks to face the

1324
01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:44,960
Speaker 5: Titans have scored at least twenty one Fantasy points. Devin

1325
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:48,680
Speaker 5: Motor Singletary give him a B three top eight fantasy

1326
01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:51,200
Speaker 5: running back finishes in seven games since he took over

1327
01:05:51,240 --> 01:05:54,520
Speaker 5: this gig full full time. Played only forty four snaps

1328
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:57,320
Speaker 5: percent of the snaps last week, though he keeps getting

1329
01:05:57,400 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 5: yanked off the field in passing downs, which is a

1330
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 5: super due annoying. Two weeks ago against the Titans, he

1331
01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:05,280
Speaker 5: did have twenty six carries for one hundred and twenty

1332
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:08,160
Speaker 5: one yards, also four catches for forty nine yards. The

1333
01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 5: game script should help him here with the Texans being favorites.

1334
01:06:11,560 --> 01:06:15,000
Speaker 5: Nico Collins, I'll give him a B. Nico was wide

1335
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:18,440
Speaker 5: receiver twelve in Fantasy through the first thirteen weeks with

1336
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:20,920
Speaker 5: Stroud with Stroud, and then of course he missed some

1337
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 5: time and then Stroud got knocked out. Only four catches

1338
01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:26,520
Speaker 5: for eighteen yards on six targets last week with case

1339
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:28,840
Speaker 5: Keenum and Davis Mills whatnot, but CJ.

1340
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:31,240
Speaker 1: Shroud back. In last four games that CJ.

1341
01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:33,720
Speaker 5: Shroud and Nico Collins were both healthy for a full

1342
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:37,120
Speaker 5: game together, Nico had a minimum of thirteen and a

1343
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:40,200
Speaker 5: half Fantasy points in each of those games. The Titans

1344
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:43,840
Speaker 5: have allowed the fifth most fantasy points to wide receivers.

1345
01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:46,280
Speaker 5: Like Nico giving him a bee, Noah Brown will give

1346
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 5: him a c He had the big game against the

1347
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:51,160
Speaker 5: Titans last time. But you guys will recall Nico Collins

1348
01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:53,200
Speaker 5: did not play in that game. But Noah Brown had

1349
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 5: eight catches for eighty two yards and a tuddy in

1350
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:57,440
Speaker 5: that one. That was one of three games this year

1351
01:06:57,480 --> 01:07:00,000
Speaker 5: where Brown is finished as a top ten overall fantasy

1352
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:02,720
Speaker 5: wide receiver. Since Week ten, the Titans have allowed the

1353
01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 5: second most receiving yards per game to permitter wide receivers.

1354
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 5: Would give Noah Brown a see will not come down

1355
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:10,280
Speaker 5: a little bit because Nico's coming back. Dalton Schultz, I'm

1356
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:13,720
Speaker 5: giving him a fee. Between weeks four through eleven, Dalton

1357
01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:16,720
Speaker 5: Schultz with tight end six in Fantasy points. He had

1358
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:18,720
Speaker 5: twelve catches for one hundred and nineteen yards in the

1359
01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:20,400
Speaker 5: past two games without c. J.

1360
01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:20,920
Speaker 1: Stroud.

1361
01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 5: Of course, Stroud's back now. The good times can continue now.

1362
01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:27,480
Speaker 5: But unfortunately, the Titans are great against opposing tight ends.

1363
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:30,000
Speaker 5: They've allowed the fewest points to tight ends in the

1364
01:07:30,120 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 5: NFL Fantasy points this year. I will say contextually, Dalton

1365
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:37,120
Speaker 5: Schultz did have four catches for fifty eight yards.

1366
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:39,760
Speaker 1: Against the Titans last time around, again without C J. Stroud,

1367
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:44,080
Speaker 1: Nico Collins. If I told you right now Nico Collins

1368
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:45,919
Speaker 1: is going to finish next year as a top five

1369
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:47,640
Speaker 1: wide receiver, would you be surprised.

1370
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:52,040
Speaker 5: M might be a little bullish because I like Tank

1371
01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:54,440
Speaker 5: Dell a lot, but I mean I would be aggressive

1372
01:07:54,440 --> 01:07:54,919
Speaker 5: on him too.

1373
01:07:55,160 --> 01:07:57,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it's Shroud's thought.

1374
01:07:57,320 --> 01:07:59,480
Speaker 5: And Shroud's going to keep getting better and better and better.

1375
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:01,920
Speaker 5: And is that perimeter guy that he loves.

1376
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:05,360
Speaker 1: Demiko Ryans has done such a great job. You know,

1377
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:08,440
Speaker 1: we have people forget how how bad this team was

1378
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:10,920
Speaker 1: and how long they last year. Yeah, right in the

1379
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:14,880
Speaker 1: organ first. Yeah, he should absolutely be in the conversation

1380
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:18,599
Speaker 1: for Coach of the Year. And when Stroud comes back

1381
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 1: and wins these next two games, it's you know, I

1382
01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:23,559
Speaker 1: think we're gonna remember that, and Houston's gonna find their

1383
01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:24,320
Speaker 1: way into the playoffs.

1384
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:26,679
Speaker 4: And this is they could still win the division.

1385
01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:28,720
Speaker 1: They can still win the division. It's possible, and they'd

1386
01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:32,080
Speaker 1: be frisky to Cincinnati takes on Kansas City. This is

1387
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:35,080
Speaker 1: a frisky matchup with a lot of moving parts. So

1388
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:38,960
Speaker 1: let me just start here. This whole t Higgins, Jamar Chase,

1389
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:41,760
Speaker 1: and Lagarious Sneed is very complicated because we don't know

1390
01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:43,519
Speaker 1: if Jamar Chase is going to go. He's a game

1391
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 1: time decision. Lagerious Snead, the star cornerback who shuts down

1392
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 1: opposing number one receivers, also a game time decision. So

1393
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:55,080
Speaker 1: this is really unclear. Let me tell you a little

1394
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 1: bit about how how good Snead has been among cornerbacks

1395
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:02,680
Speaker 1: with at least four hundred covered snaps. He allows the

1396
01:09:02,720 --> 01:09:05,519
Speaker 1: fourth lowest passer rating in the league. And here's what

1397
01:09:05,520 --> 01:09:07,599
Speaker 1: he's done to opposing number ones in the last month.

1398
01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:13,679
Speaker 1: DeVante Adams four yards, DeVonta Parker forty four yards, Stefan

1399
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:18,000
Speaker 1: Diggs twenty four yards, Jaden Reid sixteen yards. None of

1400
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:22,439
Speaker 1: them scored this Lugerious Sneid is the definition of a

1401
01:09:22,520 --> 01:09:26,920
Speaker 1: shutdown corner. So if Jamar Chase plays that and Sneid

1402
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:32,360
Speaker 1: plays that, puts Sneid on Chase. Presumably if Chase doesn't go,

1403
01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:35,920
Speaker 1: it puts Sneid on Higgins. But if Sneid doesn't go,

1404
01:09:36,120 --> 01:09:38,120
Speaker 1: it's game on for both of those guys, because it

1405
01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:41,480
Speaker 1: falls off the table after Snead you've got much better matchups.

1406
01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:44,120
Speaker 1: So a ton of moving parts here. I'm just gonna

1407
01:09:44,120 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 1: give generic B grades on t Higgins and Jamar Chase,

1408
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:52,200
Speaker 1: but you really have to monitor these guys with Sneid

1409
01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:55,719
Speaker 1: if Sneid goes again. If if Sneid goes, whoever Sneed's

1410
01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:57,799
Speaker 1: gonna get, whether it's Chase because he's going or Higgins

1411
01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:01,000
Speaker 1: because he's not, then that guy gets dock down one

1412
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:04,559
Speaker 1: letter grade all right, for everybody else, including Tyler Boyd

1413
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:06,400
Speaker 1: comes in with a C grade. He runs from the slot,

1414
01:10:06,439 --> 01:10:08,639
Speaker 1: so you won't see Sneed at all. But the Chiefs

1415
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:11,920
Speaker 1: allow the fifth fewest Fantasy points to slot receivers. Recent

1416
01:10:11,960 --> 01:10:15,519
Speaker 1: games play slot receivers against Casey Hunter, Renfro zero yards,

1417
01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:20,000
Speaker 1: Demario Douglas thirty three, Khalier Shakir twelve. Boyd's better than

1418
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:23,120
Speaker 1: those guys. In fact, you know what I'm putting down

1419
01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:25,000
Speaker 1: to a bench grade forget it. He goes up against

1420
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:27,599
Speaker 1: Trent McDuffie was very good. Forget it Boyd's out. I'm

1421
01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:30,400
Speaker 1: I'm putting a bench grade on him. So that leaves

1422
01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:33,240
Speaker 1: us with Jake Browning. From the passing game, he pumpkined

1423
01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:35,639
Speaker 1: last week, but he's still thrown for at least three

1424
01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:38,360
Speaker 1: hundred yards and we're multiple touchdowns in four full games.

1425
01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:41,000
Speaker 1: But the Chase thing is a big factor. You want

1426
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:43,400
Speaker 1: to watch that and last week Gave and O'Connell didn't

1427
01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:45,559
Speaker 1: complete a pass for three quarters against the Chiefs. So

1428
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:47,760
Speaker 1: this is a tricky spot and I can only get

1429
01:10:47,800 --> 01:10:51,400
Speaker 1: you to a C grade on Jake Browning even if

1430
01:10:51,479 --> 01:10:55,040
Speaker 1: Chase goes for Joe Mixon. This is a much more

1431
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:57,400
Speaker 1: exploitable matchup, and here's where we have a little stability

1432
01:10:57,400 --> 01:10:59,759
Speaker 1: and a little more dependability. The way to beat Kansas

1433
01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:02,799
Speaker 1: City is on the ground, as exemplified by the Raiders

1434
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:05,800
Speaker 1: and Zamir White last week. I would have given him

1435
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:08,679
Speaker 1: an A grade, but his touch totals are down lately,

1436
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:11,439
Speaker 1: in part because of the emergence of Chase brown who's

1437
01:11:11,479 --> 01:11:15,280
Speaker 1: demanding looks. The Chiefs allow almost five yards per carry

1438
01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:18,400
Speaker 1: to opposing running backs, four point nine second, worse than

1439
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:23,240
Speaker 1: the league. Recent work Hosts a workhorse. Totals include Zamir

1440
01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:25,920
Speaker 1: Whites one hundred and forty five yards, James Cooks one

1441
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:28,400
Speaker 1: hundred and forty one yards, Josh Jacobs one hundred and

1442
01:11:28,400 --> 01:11:32,559
Speaker 1: twenty five yards. But Mixon's only averaging thirteen touches per

1443
01:11:32,680 --> 01:11:35,400
Speaker 1: game over the last two weeks, and that makes him

1444
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 1: just a B grade and Chase Brown could be a

1445
01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:39,679
Speaker 1: what the heck dart throw in a run heavy matchup.

1446
01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:44,519
Speaker 1: All right now to the Chiefs bounce back game coming,

1447
01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:49,719
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call my spot here. Patrick Mahomes A grade

1448
01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:52,360
Speaker 1: obviously hasn't played to that level in a long time.

1449
01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:57,160
Speaker 1: Get this. Mahomes last three touchdown game was Week seven.

1450
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:02,120
Speaker 1: There have been twenty eight instant of three touchdown games

1451
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:04,880
Speaker 1: since Patrick Mahomes has had one. In the NFL. A

1452
01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:08,280
Speaker 1: reversal coming here. Over the past five weeks, Cincinnati ranks

1453
01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 1: dead last in passing yards allowed, and astonishingly, they're dead

1454
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:16,160
Speaker 1: last against these guys over the past five weeks, Mason Rudolph,

1455
01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 1: Nick Mullins, Gardner, Minshew, Kenny Pickett, and a by game

1456
01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:25,960
Speaker 1: combo of Trevor Lawrence and CJ. Bethard, and they're still

1457
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:29,200
Speaker 1: dead last in passing yards allowed. Mahomes I think it

1458
01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:32,760
Speaker 1: all comes back together for Mahomes here a grade, same

1459
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:36,000
Speaker 1: with Kelsey. Over the past five weeks, he's only Fantasy

1460
01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:38,720
Speaker 1: tight end ten win spot ahead of Chiga konk Wu.

1461
01:12:39,120 --> 01:12:41,720
Speaker 1: He has zero scores in that five game stretch. But

1462
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:45,879
Speaker 1: here's the Bengals ranks against tight ends. Fantasy points allowed,

1463
01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:51,040
Speaker 1: second most receptions to tight ends, second most receiving yards

1464
01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:54,759
Speaker 1: to tight ends the most. Travis Kelcey bounced back coming

1465
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:59,080
Speaker 1: a grade. Rashee Rice also in a grade. Since week twelve,

1466
01:12:59,479 --> 01:13:02,240
Speaker 1: Rice tied for third in targets. He's hauled in at

1467
01:13:02,320 --> 01:13:05,360
Speaker 1: least six catches in five straight games. He's scored three times,

1468
01:13:05,360 --> 01:13:08,040
Speaker 1: Cincinnati giving up one hundred and seventy six yards per

1469
01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:11,320
Speaker 1: game to opposing wide outside his six mosts. He's got

1470
01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:14,639
Speaker 1: a matchup on the outside against a chadobe Owuozier who

1471
01:13:14,720 --> 01:13:17,400
Speaker 1: has just gassed for one hundred and twenty three yards

1472
01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:21,479
Speaker 1: in his coverage by Pittsburgh. Nice opportunity for Rice to

1473
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:25,519
Speaker 1: stay hot a grade. The running back thing is also murky.

1474
01:13:26,680 --> 01:13:29,320
Speaker 1: Isaiah Pachecko returned to practice on Friday, but he has

1475
01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:32,240
Speaker 1: a game time decision with the shoulder and the concussion.

1476
01:13:33,479 --> 01:13:36,800
Speaker 1: Mostly players do not come back from the concussion in

1477
01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:41,679
Speaker 1: the same week. If he doesn't, then Clyde Edwards Hilaire,

1478
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:44,120
Speaker 1: who's missed some time with illness but should play, would

1479
01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:46,960
Speaker 1: get virtually all the work because Jerrick McKinnon's on IR.

1480
01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:50,080
Speaker 1: So if Pacheco can't go and I've got Pacheco is

1481
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:52,640
Speaker 1: a C grade, assuming he's gonna split some time with

1482
01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:55,880
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards Hilaire. But if Pacheco can't go and it's

1483
01:13:55,960 --> 01:13:59,200
Speaker 1: all Clyde, he'd move up to a B grade and

1484
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:02,960
Speaker 1: become a Vile Bowl Championship Week starter. The Bengals give

1485
01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:05,880
Speaker 1: up four point five yards per carry to opposing running backs.

1486
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:10,920
Speaker 1: That's fifth most. Cincinnati ranks twenty sixth in run stuff

1487
01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:15,040
Speaker 1: win rate. Lead backs have scored against the Bengals in

1488
01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:18,080
Speaker 1: six the past seven games, So that'd be Pachecko if

1489
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:21,040
Speaker 1: he starts, it'd be Clyde if he doesn't. Those guys

1490
01:14:21,120 --> 01:14:24,080
Speaker 1: have got some startability to him against a bad defense.

1491
01:14:24,240 --> 01:14:26,880
Speaker 1: A lot of Cincinnati defense going the wrong way right now.

1492
01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:31,519
Speaker 1: When we come back our final block and matchups, including

1493
01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Seattle Seahawks, Kenneth Walker fascinating opportunity.

1494
01:14:39,080 --> 01:14:41,519
Speaker 1: Can't wait to hear Matt's breakdown on that. Stay tuned

1495
01:14:41,520 --> 01:15:11,759
Speaker 1: to Fantasy Football Weekly. Final segment a Fantasy Football Weekly.

1496
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:14,280
Speaker 1: This is the final segment of our long form edition

1497
01:15:14,800 --> 01:15:17,559
Speaker 1: in year number twenty nine. Go to our off season

1498
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:21,120
Speaker 1: short form edition next week. So don't unsubscriber anything. Just

1499
01:15:21,400 --> 01:15:23,759
Speaker 1: keep listening all off season. Lots of great stuff.

1500
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:24,679
Speaker 4: You'll learn things.

1501
01:15:24,760 --> 01:15:28,400
Speaker 1: You will learn things. We'll do some fantasy playoff stuff

1502
01:15:28,479 --> 01:15:30,599
Speaker 1: next week. That's the light of the playoffs, which we love.

1503
01:15:31,080 --> 01:15:33,760
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Seattle Seahawks. Matt Let's start

1504
01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:35,040
Speaker 1: on the Pittsburgh side.

1505
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:38,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, Mason Rudolph starting again. Kenny Pickett could be activated,

1506
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:40,240
Speaker 4: but he's going to serve as the backup if he is.

1507
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:43,880
Speaker 4: Rudolph looked pretty solid last week against Cincy two ninety

1508
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:45,880
Speaker 4: and two scores, although much of that was the long

1509
01:15:45,920 --> 01:15:48,519
Speaker 4: catch and run by George Pickens. This week, it's a

1510
01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:51,879
Speaker 4: mid level matchup against the Seahawks. Rushing is where Seattle

1511
01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:54,360
Speaker 4: gets dinged by the quarterback, but as far as passing,

1512
01:15:54,360 --> 01:15:57,000
Speaker 4: they're not too bad there. Since Week four, only three

1513
01:15:57,080 --> 01:16:00,160
Speaker 4: quarterbacks have top two to fifty against Seattle and they've

1514
01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:02,960
Speaker 4: only allowed multiple scores to four passers in that time,

1515
01:16:03,040 --> 01:16:06,120
Speaker 4: so I really don't like Rudolph from a passing perspective,

1516
01:16:06,160 --> 01:16:07,800
Speaker 4: and he's not really known as a runner, so I

1517
01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:10,840
Speaker 4: can't get him off the bench. Wide receiver matchup tough

1518
01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:15,200
Speaker 4: two for Pickens and Deontay. Aj Brown and DeVonta Smith

1519
01:16:15,240 --> 01:16:18,080
Speaker 4: were both held under sixty yards two weeks ago by

1520
01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:21,719
Speaker 4: the Seahawks team. Last week, DeAndre Hopkins had two catches

1521
01:16:21,760 --> 01:16:25,799
Speaker 4: for twenty yards. I'm gonna steer toward benching both Pickens

1522
01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:28,720
Speaker 4: and Deonta this week. I don't particularly like the matchups.

1523
01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:31,680
Speaker 4: The most beatable Seattle corner his already burns and he

1524
01:16:31,760 --> 01:16:34,840
Speaker 4: mans the slot, which is where Alan Robinson mostly runs from,

1525
01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:38,120
Speaker 4: and Pickens and Johnson stay on the outside, so they're

1526
01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:40,599
Speaker 4: just tougher matchups. I don't really like it this week

1527
01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:42,400
Speaker 4: for those guys. And I was banging the drum for

1528
01:16:42,439 --> 01:16:45,639
Speaker 4: Pat Fryarmouth last week, so was charge he didn't get

1529
01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:46,040
Speaker 4: a target?

1530
01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:46,639
Speaker 1: How about that?

1531
01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:49,400
Speaker 4: What the heck? So you can't trust him this week.

1532
01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:52,559
Speaker 4: Naji Harris has been limited in practice this week, but

1533
01:16:52,600 --> 01:16:55,439
Speaker 4: it sounds like that's more load management than an actual injury.

1534
01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:58,280
Speaker 4: I like both Naji and Jalen Warren this week with

1535
01:16:58,360 --> 01:17:01,519
Speaker 4: twin C grades, But if Najie Harris doesn't go for

1536
01:17:01,560 --> 01:17:04,040
Speaker 4: some reason, Warren jumps up to a bee. In the

1537
01:17:04,080 --> 01:17:07,040
Speaker 4: last five games, opposing runners have gouged the Seahawks for

1538
01:17:07,040 --> 01:17:09,400
Speaker 4: one hundred and twenty five yards per game on the ground,

1539
01:17:09,680 --> 01:17:12,400
Speaker 4: and during that span they've allowed the third most rushing

1540
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:16,599
Speaker 4: scores on the other side. Kenneth Walker hasn't practiced yes

1541
01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:19,519
Speaker 4: this week, but he did the same last week and

1542
01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:20,040
Speaker 4: he played.

1543
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:21,040
Speaker 1: I think he plays here.

1544
01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:24,799
Speaker 4: I like the matchup the Seattle known for resting guys

1545
01:17:24,880 --> 01:17:28,519
Speaker 4: during the week too. They're citing an illness for Walker

1546
01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:31,320
Speaker 4: this week as well as the shoulder. But hey, what

1547
01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:34,120
Speaker 4: is the frequency on Kenneth Well, I think his frequency

1548
01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:36,160
Speaker 4: is that he gets the ball almost one hundred percent

1549
01:17:36,240 --> 01:17:39,599
Speaker 4: of the time when he's out there. Last week, Charbonnet

1550
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:43,639
Speaker 4: only had three touches. Walker's averaging seventeen touches per game.

1551
01:17:43,720 --> 01:17:46,720
Speaker 4: So what does that look like against the Steelers. Nine

1552
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:50,080
Speaker 4: different backs have seen seventeen touches against the Steelers this year.

1553
01:17:50,360 --> 01:17:53,360
Speaker 4: Their average day is one hundred and eleven convoy yards

1554
01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:56,240
Speaker 4: and a seventy eight percent chance at a touchdown. That's

1555
01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:59,880
Speaker 4: a solid bee for Kenneth Walker. DK Metcalf popped up

1556
01:17:59,880 --> 01:18:03,120
Speaker 4: on the injury report when he did not participate on Thursday,

1557
01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:07,280
Speaker 4: but they, like I said, they rest guys randomly. I'm

1558
01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:09,720
Speaker 4: a little worried about his targets drying up. Though he's

1559
01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:12,360
Speaker 4: only seen five, six and six targets over the last

1560
01:18:12,360 --> 01:18:15,000
Speaker 4: three weeks compared to an average of eight in the

1561
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:17,920
Speaker 4: prior eleven games. He's still scored in three of his

1562
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:20,640
Speaker 4: last four games and it helps. That does help, and

1563
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:23,839
Speaker 4: his matchup against the Steelers corner Levi Wallace is excellent

1564
01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:26,599
Speaker 4: as he runs most of his routes from Wallace's side,

1565
01:18:26,600 --> 01:18:27,639
Speaker 4: So I wonder if he's.

1566
01:18:27,479 --> 01:18:29,840
Speaker 1: Gonna see how much Joey Porter Junior he's gonna get

1567
01:18:30,240 --> 01:18:31,400
Speaker 1: that can't com play.

1568
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:34,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, I have an a on Metcalf because Metcalf runs

1569
01:18:34,520 --> 01:18:38,400
Speaker 4: from the side of Levi Wallace more often Tyler Lockett

1570
01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:41,479
Speaker 4: runs from the Joey Porter side, so I'm giving Lockett

1571
01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:43,880
Speaker 4: the be here. But I did mention it last week.

1572
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:47,280
Speaker 4: The Steelers are still down their top four safeties and

1573
01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:49,920
Speaker 4: since he didn't really exploit it, no, I was killing me.

1574
01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:51,320
Speaker 3: I'm watching the game going throw d.

1575
01:18:51,560 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, they gotta throw deep, and I feel like Seattle

1576
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:57,000
Speaker 4: could could just throw some long balls with both Lockett

1577
01:18:57,000 --> 01:18:58,960
Speaker 4: and metcalf. I think it's a good match up here.

1578
01:18:59,240 --> 01:19:02,280
Speaker 4: I can't must starting grade on JSN though his A

1579
01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:05,160
Speaker 4: dot is still hovering in the six range, and that

1580
01:19:05,200 --> 01:19:08,760
Speaker 4: requires just too much volume or after catch specialness that

1581
01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:11,920
Speaker 4: we really haven't seen as of yet. Finally, Gino Smith

1582
01:19:12,040 --> 01:19:15,000
Speaker 4: startable with a B grade as well multiple scores and

1583
01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:18,160
Speaker 4: three of his last five Steelers defense not as scary

1584
01:19:18,160 --> 01:19:20,160
Speaker 4: as it used to be. Each of the last three

1585
01:19:20,240 --> 01:19:23,320
Speaker 4: quarterbacks they faced has either thrown for three hundred and

1586
01:19:23,320 --> 01:19:26,160
Speaker 4: thirty yards or three touchdowns in a game against the Steelers,

1587
01:19:26,360 --> 01:19:30,400
Speaker 4: and those names were Bailey, Zappi, Gardner Minshew, and Jake Browning.

1588
01:19:31,280 --> 01:19:33,560
Speaker 4: So Gino Smith B grade.

1589
01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:36,479
Speaker 1: Chargers take on the Broncos. These are teams missing their

1590
01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:40,360
Speaker 1: number one wide receivers and their number one quarterbacks. Easton

1591
01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:44,080
Speaker 1: Stick versus Jared Stidham. Let's start on the Chargers side.

1592
01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:46,679
Speaker 1: There's not much to like here other than maybe Austin

1593
01:19:46,760 --> 01:19:50,200
Speaker 1: Eckler against a very bad run defense. Yeah, mister Eckler,

1594
01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:51,080
Speaker 1: We're going to give him a B.

1595
01:19:51,400 --> 01:19:54,280
Speaker 5: Last week against the Bills little resurgence there, fifteen carries

1596
01:19:54,320 --> 01:19:57,160
Speaker 5: for sixty five yards, three catches for twenty one yards,

1597
01:19:57,200 --> 01:19:59,959
Speaker 5: clear lead back eighty two percent of the touch percentage

1598
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:03,160
Speaker 5: last week. This is a motivation game for him. Eckler

1599
01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:06,360
Speaker 5: grew up and went to college in Colorado. In seven

1600
01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:09,200
Speaker 5: of the past eight games against Denver, Eckler has sixteen

1601
01:20:09,760 --> 01:20:12,920
Speaker 5: fantasy points per game or more. Broncos have also allowed

1602
01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:16,559
Speaker 5: the second most fantasy points to opposing running backs this year,

1603
01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:18,160
Speaker 5: so a decent one for him.

1604
01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:20,960
Speaker 1: Easton Stick. If you're in a two quarterback league, he's

1605
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:22,479
Speaker 1: potentially startable. I give him a C.

1606
01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:26,559
Speaker 5: He's quarterback thirteen, quarterback eighteen in fantasy last two weeks.

1607
01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:29,240
Speaker 5: Denver has allowed the eleventh most passing yards per game

1608
01:20:29,280 --> 01:20:32,559
Speaker 5: since Week eleven, so we'll give him a CE. Keenan

1609
01:20:32,560 --> 01:20:35,120
Speaker 5: Allen's out with the heel, hasn't practiced, Josh Palmer not

1610
01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:39,160
Speaker 5: looking good and concussion oh Man so Quentin Johnson.

1611
01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:42,000
Speaker 1: I will say emergency flex option. I can't.

1612
01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:45,160
Speaker 5: If you're in a big pinch, you could potentially go there.

1613
01:20:45,160 --> 01:20:47,320
Speaker 5: They got to throw to someone. Speaking to that, Gerald

1614
01:20:47,360 --> 01:20:49,479
Speaker 5: Everett will give him a bee. He's the pass catcher

1615
01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:52,960
Speaker 5: you want with Allen and Palmer both out obviously means

1616
01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:54,519
Speaker 5: that ever it's going to get a lot more looks.

1617
01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:58,400
Speaker 5: Gerald Everett scored eight or more Fantasy points in five

1618
01:20:58,439 --> 01:21:02,599
Speaker 5: straight games. The Broncos also allowed the most Fantasy points

1619
01:21:02,680 --> 01:21:06,160
Speaker 5: to opposing tight end, so a decent matchup if mister

1620
01:21:06,200 --> 01:21:07,840
Speaker 5: East and Stick can get him the ball. On the

1621
01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:10,120
Speaker 5: other side, Jared's did him as bad and he's only

1622
01:21:10,160 --> 01:21:12,800
Speaker 5: starting for financial reasons. Do not risk it, no matter

1623
01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:16,040
Speaker 5: how desper you are. Cortland Sutton has been ruled out.

1624
01:21:16,439 --> 01:21:19,720
Speaker 5: Jerry Judy is questionable with an illness. Marvin Mims is

1625
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:22,120
Speaker 5: questionable with the answer Jared's did them might not even

1626
01:21:22,160 --> 01:21:24,120
Speaker 5: have a receiving cor I don't even know who they're going.

1627
01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:24,760
Speaker 1: To toss out there.

1628
01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:26,840
Speaker 5: I will say, if you're desperate, that the guy that

1629
01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:29,360
Speaker 5: you could potentially start, if he plays a Jerry Judy,

1630
01:21:29,640 --> 01:21:31,960
Speaker 5: I gave him a CE. He's only wide receiver fifty

1631
01:21:31,960 --> 01:21:34,719
Speaker 5: eight in Fantasy in his top seventy yards only once

1632
01:21:34,800 --> 01:21:37,400
Speaker 5: since Week four. But if the other guys are out,

1633
01:21:37,439 --> 01:21:40,639
Speaker 5: we already know that Sutton is potentially you know he's

1634
01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:42,880
Speaker 5: going to get the usage at least, and the Chargers

1635
01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:46,479
Speaker 5: are league average against opposing slots. Lastly, Javonte Williams, I

1636
01:21:46,479 --> 01:21:49,120
Speaker 5: give him a grader see RB twenty three or worse

1637
01:21:49,160 --> 01:21:51,599
Speaker 5: than five of the last six games, two point two

1638
01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:53,240
Speaker 5: yards per carrier, worse.

1639
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:55,200
Speaker 1: In the last two. So it seems like it's getting worse.

1640
01:21:55,640 --> 01:21:59,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, fewer than eleven fantasy points per game or fantasy

1641
01:21:59,320 --> 01:22:02,559
Speaker 5: points of the last six And as we talked about earlier,

1642
01:22:02,640 --> 01:22:05,680
Speaker 5: the snaps have been dwindling as Julia McLaughlin gets more

1643
01:22:05,760 --> 01:22:09,240
Speaker 5: looks and I think Sean Payton loves that kid. Javonte

1644
01:22:09,240 --> 01:22:11,240
Speaker 5: did have his best fantasy game of the past two

1645
01:22:11,280 --> 01:22:14,599
Speaker 5: months against these same Chargers in Week fourteen. Sixty six

1646
01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:16,800
Speaker 5: yards in a touchdown. It's the most you know, hope

1647
01:22:16,800 --> 01:22:18,320
Speaker 5: I can muster for him. I will give him a

1648
01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:20,800
Speaker 5: see And Julia McLaughlin was might take a chance on

1649
01:22:20,880 --> 01:22:21,439
Speaker 5: me running back.

1650
01:22:21,680 --> 01:22:23,800
Speaker 1: The Sunday night game is a do or die game

1651
01:22:23,800 --> 01:22:26,840
Speaker 1: for the Packers and Vikings. The loser basically done for

1652
01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:29,920
Speaker 1: the year. And because of that, I believe that Aaron

1653
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:32,120
Speaker 1: Jones is gonna get a lot of the workload that

1654
01:22:32,160 --> 01:22:34,280
Speaker 1: they've been unwilling to give him to this point because

1655
01:22:34,320 --> 01:22:37,080
Speaker 1: he kept getting hurt. Well, who cares now you gotta

1656
01:22:37,120 --> 01:22:39,599
Speaker 1: get a win here, so I see a ton of

1657
01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:43,160
Speaker 1: work coming now. The Vikings have been a good run defense.

1658
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:46,040
Speaker 1: They've only allowed two running backs to top sixty five

1659
01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:49,479
Speaker 1: rushing yards against them all year, but one was Jamiir

1660
01:22:49,479 --> 01:22:51,880
Speaker 1: Gibbs just last week put it together a one hundred

1661
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:55,599
Speaker 1: yard two touchdown game. Since returning from injury two weeks ago,

1662
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:59,240
Speaker 1: Jones has out carried Dylan five to one on carries

1663
01:22:59,320 --> 01:23:01,600
Speaker 1: inside the so he might be able to help you

1664
01:23:01,640 --> 01:23:03,479
Speaker 1: with the touchdown as well. Be good.

1665
01:23:03,560 --> 01:23:05,200
Speaker 4: Didn't Dylan get the short touchdown?

1666
01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:07,680
Speaker 1: He's scoring on the horse? Yes, he did score on

1667
01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:10,559
Speaker 1: the one. Yes, let's go to the passing game, Jordan Love,

1668
01:23:10,640 --> 01:23:13,120
Speaker 1: be great. The Vikings have been a negative matchup for

1669
01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:15,680
Speaker 1: most supposing quarterbacks, including Love when the first matchup just

1670
01:23:15,720 --> 01:23:18,040
Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty nine yards and one score. But

1671
01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:21,320
Speaker 1: at the moment, the Vikings defense is in massive flux,

1672
01:23:21,360 --> 01:23:24,559
Speaker 1: particularly against the pass. Edge Rusher dj Wanham is out

1673
01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:27,719
Speaker 1: for the year. Starting cornerback A Caleb Evans got benched

1674
01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:31,559
Speaker 1: last week mid game, and cornerback Byron Murphy is out

1675
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:35,000
Speaker 1: and backup cornerback McKay Blackman's going to try to play

1676
01:23:35,040 --> 01:23:38,479
Speaker 1: hurt this is a bad spot. Love has managed multiple

1677
01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:40,960
Speaker 1: touchdowns in six of the past seven games. I think

1678
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:43,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna do it here too. Even when he has

1679
01:23:43,120 --> 01:23:45,400
Speaker 1: bad games, he still finds his way to a couple

1680
01:23:45,400 --> 01:23:48,120
Speaker 1: of touchdowns. He'll get a couple here. Be great on

1681
01:23:48,240 --> 01:23:51,840
Speaker 1: Jordan Love. See grade on Jaden Reid, who comes in

1682
01:23:51,880 --> 01:23:54,320
Speaker 1: with toe and chest injuries but is expected to play.

1683
01:23:54,680 --> 01:23:57,120
Speaker 1: He runs from the slot on two thirds of his plays.

1684
01:23:57,479 --> 01:24:00,479
Speaker 1: Byron Murphy is the most common guy who who guards

1685
01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:02,960
Speaker 1: the slot, but he's out and last week with him out,

1686
01:24:03,200 --> 01:24:06,559
Speaker 1: the Vikings used eight different defenders to try to guard

1687
01:24:06,560 --> 01:24:09,400
Speaker 1: the slot and all they did was give up twelve

1688
01:24:09,479 --> 01:24:11,640
Speaker 1: passes to Aman Rossaying Brown for one hundred and six

1689
01:24:11,720 --> 01:24:15,000
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown. So a nice opportunity for Jaden Reid,

1690
01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:17,479
Speaker 1: who comes in with a B grade in this game.

1691
01:24:17,640 --> 01:24:21,759
Speaker 1: He posted eighty three yards in the previous matchup. Romeo

1692
01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:24,120
Speaker 1: Dobbs comes into the C grade. He's the healthiest of

1693
01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:28,320
Speaker 1: the Packers' receivers and probably the safest option among the Packers' receivers,

1694
01:24:28,560 --> 01:24:31,080
Speaker 1: even though he only totaled eighteen yards in the first matchup.

1695
01:24:31,360 --> 01:24:34,439
Speaker 1: But there's no healthy bodies left here. He did score

1696
01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:36,840
Speaker 1: in that game against the Caleb Evans, so you know

1697
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:39,200
Speaker 1: there is that for him as well. C grade on

1698
01:24:39,280 --> 01:24:41,519
Speaker 1: Romeo Dobbs if you're in a pinch. Christian Watson and

1699
01:24:41,960 --> 01:24:44,320
Speaker 1: Dontavian Wicks are not expected to play in this game.

1700
01:24:44,800 --> 01:24:48,479
Speaker 1: Luke Musgrave also not expected to play. Tucker Kraft should

1701
01:24:48,520 --> 01:24:50,479
Speaker 1: continue to get a lot of the work, but the

1702
01:24:50,560 --> 01:24:52,800
Speaker 1: Vikings have not given up a touchdown to a tight

1703
01:24:52,880 --> 01:24:56,640
Speaker 1: end since week nine. From weeks ten through sixteen, Minnesota's

1704
01:24:56,640 --> 01:24:59,600
Speaker 1: only given up four receptions for thirty seven yards to

1705
01:24:59,600 --> 01:25:03,840
Speaker 1: the Pozi. That said, they guard. Vikings guard the tight

1706
01:25:03,920 --> 01:25:06,880
Speaker 1: end with Ivan pace Junior, a lot rookie. He's allowed

1707
01:25:06,960 --> 01:25:10,439
Speaker 1: eighteen of the last nineteen passes in his coverage to

1708
01:25:10,479 --> 01:25:13,240
Speaker 1: be completed. So Tucker Craft comes in with a C

1709
01:25:13,439 --> 01:25:16,080
Speaker 1: grade for the Vikings. They'll go to war with Jaren

1710
01:25:16,240 --> 01:25:20,240
Speaker 1: Hall actually startable here because the Packers pass defense is

1711
01:25:20,400 --> 01:25:23,760
Speaker 1: just so bad right now. Jay r Alexander benched in

1712
01:25:23,760 --> 01:25:27,240
Speaker 1: this game. The last three opposing quarterbacks against the Packers

1713
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:33,320
Speaker 1: seven touchdowns, no picks, seventy three percent completion rate, and

1714
01:25:33,439 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 1: an opposing quarterback rating of one hundred and thirty two.

1715
01:25:37,080 --> 01:25:42,040
Speaker 1: And they faced Tommy DeVito Baker Mayfield and Bryce Young,

1716
01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:45,640
Speaker 1: so Jaren Hall C grade dartthrow if you have to

1717
01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:48,759
Speaker 1: do it, and Kevin O'Connell's repeatedly proven he won't hesitate

1718
01:25:48,760 --> 01:25:52,160
Speaker 1: to maintain his past heavy game plans with his backup quarterbacks.

1719
01:25:52,760 --> 01:25:54,800
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson comes in with a C grade. It would

1720
01:25:54,840 --> 01:25:58,000
Speaker 1: be a sure a with a more proven quarterback, but

1721
01:25:58,120 --> 01:26:01,080
Speaker 1: remains very startable against the defense, allowing over two hundred

1722
01:26:01,080 --> 01:26:03,280
Speaker 1: and ten yards and two scores the position in back

1723
01:26:03,320 --> 01:26:06,240
Speaker 1: to back weeks, and no Jr. Alexander, But the problem

1724
01:26:06,280 --> 01:26:09,120
Speaker 1: is that might be additioned by subtraction because Alexander been horrible.

1725
01:26:09,840 --> 01:26:13,000
Speaker 1: B grade on Justin Jefferson. I've got a C grade

1726
01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:16,120
Speaker 1: on Jordan Addison due to his ankle injuries, and he's

1727
01:26:16,160 --> 01:26:18,720
Speaker 1: a game time decision. If he's able to play through

1728
01:26:18,760 --> 01:26:20,920
Speaker 1: the injury, you'll have to factor in the prospects of

1729
01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:25,800
Speaker 1: re injury. TJ. Hockinson's out that frees up eight targets

1730
01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:28,680
Speaker 1: per game some and they don't have the backup tight

1731
01:26:28,760 --> 01:26:30,880
Speaker 1: ends to catch passes here, so some of that's going

1732
01:26:30,960 --> 01:26:34,080
Speaker 1: to go to Jordan Addison, and with Jefferson on the field,

1733
01:26:34,080 --> 01:26:36,559
Speaker 1: Addison gets single covered a lot and that that could

1734
01:26:36,600 --> 01:26:39,160
Speaker 1: free up some downfield plays for him. That's some nice

1735
01:26:39,200 --> 01:26:43,400
Speaker 1: opportunities for Addison potentially here and could be impactful against

1736
01:26:43,400 --> 01:26:47,559
Speaker 1: cornerback Eric Stokes, who's been garbage despite the first round

1737
01:26:47,560 --> 01:26:50,760
Speaker 1: pick that he was. kJ Osborne startable in a pinch

1738
01:26:51,160 --> 01:26:54,720
Speaker 1: because without TJ. Hockinson across the middle, that's going to

1739
01:26:54,840 --> 01:26:57,320
Speaker 1: give some favorable matchups across the middle and some more

1740
01:26:57,360 --> 01:27:01,200
Speaker 1: balls to go to. kJ Osborne against lockcorner back Keyshawn Nixon,

1741
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:04,400
Speaker 1: who is allowing an eighty percent catch rate and ranks

1742
01:27:04,400 --> 01:27:08,400
Speaker 1: his Pro Football focuses eighty sixth quarterback the last Viking

1743
01:27:08,479 --> 01:27:12,000
Speaker 1: you care about, my guy, ty Chandler. He's taking us

1744
01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:16,439
Speaker 1: months to get here, but finally startable. He goes up

1745
01:27:16,479 --> 01:27:19,839
Speaker 1: against the Green Bay defense that could be missing Devondre

1746
01:27:20,000 --> 01:27:24,240
Speaker 1: Campbell and Darnell Savage, their fourth and second best run defenders.

1747
01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:26,760
Speaker 1: The Packers run defense middle of the pack at best

1748
01:27:26,760 --> 01:27:29,960
Speaker 1: have been their bleeding touchdowns, allowing running back scores in

1749
01:27:30,120 --> 01:27:33,840
Speaker 1: six of the past seven games, and they've allowed five

1750
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:36,000
Speaker 1: running backs to rush for at least eighty yards in

1751
01:27:36,040 --> 01:27:39,160
Speaker 1: that span. Alexander Madison only field on the field for

1752
01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:44,559
Speaker 1: five snaps last week. Ty Chandler C. Grade. Thank you
