Speaker 1: my playoff edition of Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul

6
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: Charchi and my coast today are Scott Fish and Matt Harrison. Hello, gentlemen,

7
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: Chart your sounding excited, maybe a little spooky? Playoffs? Yes?

8
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 1: How many? How many teams do you have alive? Still? Three?

9
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,919
Speaker 1: That's good? I have three alive, that's good. Yeah. I've

10
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 1: got a guillotine, a regular and a and a twentyman redraft.

11
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: That's good. How about you, Scott? I also got three? Uh?

12
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: Is your fish Bowl team alive? Oh? Man? Mine died

13
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: last week. Mine died in August. It's been over for

14
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: a long time. On fourt inly for me and that one.

15
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: We've got lots to get to. Over the course of

16
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 1: the show, We're gonna break down every game fantasy style

17
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: like we always do, letter grades on each of the

18
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: notable players. You will hear three tough questions which we

19
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: will answer and you can play along. We'll give you

20
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: nine players upon whom you can take a chance. And honestly,

21
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: you're still there are still players you can get off

22
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: the waiver wire, even with a playoff roster that can

23
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 1: be better than your guys. The single biggest mistake you

24
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: can break make right now is just blindly assuming the

25
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: guys that got into the playoffs and Allen best guys,

26
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: and Allen, I had Tyrand Johnson in three leagues on Thursday,

27
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: and then I dropped him right before the game about

28
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: right they ended up playing. I wasn't gonna waste a

29
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: spot on a player that was going to play. Go

30
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: look at that man the Raiders secondary? Who was that

31
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: bad Dolphins for Week sixteen? You have no kidding. Let's

32
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: let's let's start with our Saturday games. There are two

33
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: Saturday games. We've got a mid afternoon game and an

34
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: early evening game. Let's begin with the Buffalo Bills taking

35
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: on the Denver Broncos. And for me, this is a

36
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: this is a green light start for Josh Allen. All

37
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: three of Denver's starting cornerbacks are out for this game.

38
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: I think this is a great opportunity for Josh Allen.

39
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: So the guy who's got multiple touchdowns and or three

40
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: hundred yards and all but one game this year is

41
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: a green lights breaking right, thanks, I do have an

42
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: A grade on him. Uh. The weird thing is Denver's

43
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: only allowed to passing touchdowns since Week nine, but they

44
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: allowed three rushing and the competition was not Josh Allen,

45
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: Uh not even close. In fact, um Allen I mentioned,

46
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,119
Speaker 1: had multiple touchdowns and or three plus yards in almost

47
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: every game. But every game that he's attempted at least

48
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: twenty five passes, he has done it. And that's a

49
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: fairly low bar against the team that has allowed that

50
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: in basically every single game. I have an A grade

51
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: on Allen. Digs is basically unbenchable at this point. I

52
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: don't think I need to spend a lot of time

53
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 1: on him. I have an A grade there. With John

54
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: Brown out, Gabriel Davis has scored every game John Brown

55
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: has been out. He just has no wide receivers top

56
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: seventy yards against the Broncos since Week nine. But with

57
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: Davis's ability to score and Beasley having ten plus targets

58
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 1: in three the last four, three of those with John

59
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: Brown out, I gave them both C grades. I think

60
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: Beasley gets a lot of targets I think Davis might

61
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: score again. I like him more than you do. I've

62
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: got high rank I got I've got B grades on

63
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: both guys. Alright, I'm more optimistic. Well, I do have

64
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: Moss and Singletary on the bench. I'm sorry charged they

65
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: flipped again last week. I Moss is getting more snaps,

66
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: but the touches that they're not just not coming. Uh.

67
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: Singletary and more touches. Moss had more touches in the

68
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: Steelers game, and then Singletary had more touches last week,

69
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: and neither of them are barely averaging over three yards

70
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: per carry right now. It's really frustrated. The running back

71
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: you want on this team is Josh Allen. Is really

72
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: what it is. So I have them on the bench.

73
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: Over to the Broncos side. I do have a C

74
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: grade on Drew Lock. The Bills have allowed multiple passing

75
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: touchdowns in four the last five, plus yards in three

76
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: the last five, and that's not really a recent trend.

77
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: They've allowed six games over three hundred passing yards this year.

78
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: They have allowed multiple touchdowns in games nine times, nine times.

79
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: Lock has been in consistent. He's been hot lately, so

80
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: I'm giving him a C. Grade here high lately is

81
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 1: maybe an even and under. He just seven game of

82
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: his career last week. Yea, seven touchdowns the last two weeks,

83
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: and he's he's getting but you know, matchups, this is

84
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 1: a Bill's matchup. It's a little different. Uh. I do

85
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: have C grades on most of his receivers as well,

86
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: though Handler gets deep. He's got two big deep plays

87
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: each game. Drew Lock has kind of a d g

88
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: F attitude. He'll flow it up to him. Yeah, so, uh,

89
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,799
Speaker 1: with the chance that Handler gets a big play, Tim Patrick,

90
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: he's scoring. He's he's got six touchdowns in the last

91
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: seven games. He has three in the last two games,

92
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: and they've thrown it to him in the end zone

93
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 1: three times in the last two games. He's just getting

94
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: those plays. But he can also go off for a hundred.

95
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: He's done that twice in the last six games. So

96
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: their range of outcomes really is a four for forty

97
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: floor based on the last few weeks, with much more upside.

98
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: So I have SEA grades on both of them. No,

99
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: Fan also a C grade because nearly every tight end

100
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: against the Bills to hit seven targets had a really

101
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: good day. We're talking sixty plus yards a bunch of catches,

102
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: some touchdowns, and uh Fant has done that a bunch

103
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: of times this year. I think that he's in for

104
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: a SEA grade. Their Bills allowing the fifth most points

105
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: to tight ends on the running backs. Gordon, I'm given

106
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: a C grade and I got Lindsay on the bench. Yeah,

107
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: it's been a bad for Lindsay, my guy, and I

108
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: just said, really disappointing. Yeah. Really recently the Chargers for

109
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: in IROs and Steelers barely did anything against the Bills,

110
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: but Ekeler had a good day through the air, so

111
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,679
Speaker 1: did several others. Gordon has been catching about three balls

112
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: a game, uh Denver and uh Gordon's also probably in

113
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: like for sixteen in line for sixteen plus touches, which

114
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: he's done a bunch of times recently. Almost every game

115
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: he's had a full game this year. So he's gonna

116
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: get that that really nice volume. CE I like to

117
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: give out the volume. See, you're not tricking anybody with

118
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: the volume. CE Carolina takes on Green Bay, Matt and

119
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: the way you beat the Packers is on the ground

120
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,799
Speaker 1: and to a to a certain degree, through the air

121
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: for running backs. So Christian McCaffrey wait, oh, not again

122
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: another But it's an awfully good looking one on paper.

123
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: And I didn't think Mike Davis would have a good

124
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: week last week against Denver and they're tough run defense

125
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: because Denver is a good run defense, and his numbers

126
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: were just trending the wrong way. But I was totally

127
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: off on that one. Sult fire him up this week

128
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: against the pack with a B grade. Basically every team

129
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: but the Lions and Eagles have had a running back

130
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: just put up awesome numbers against the Packers this here.

131
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: Um moving on to the passing game Teddy Bridgewater, I'm

132
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: only going to give him a C grade here. In

133
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: his last fourteen starts, Teddy Bridgewater has two yard games

134
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: and has topped two touchdown passes never He's thrown over

135
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: forty passing attempts only three times this year. He doesn't

136
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: have enough volume to elevate his game past the C

137
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 1: grade in my opinion, and the Packers have knocked out

138
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: each of the last two quarterbacks they faced, either with

139
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: poor play or injury. Prior to that, Sad trombon Sky

140
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: did rack up some nice garbage time numbers, and Philip

141
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: Rivers actually did pick apart this secondary, but I don't

142
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: see it for Bridgewater. D J. Moore is back from COVID,

143
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: but he just gets to see because Teddy still hasn't

144
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: really focused on more this year. He's averaging only four

145
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: catches per game and will probably draw more gight Ear

146
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 1: Alexander coverage than Robbie Anderson, who I'm also giving a C.

147
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuel he gets a see. I actually prefer benching

148
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: them all, but the prospect of garbage time points is there.

149
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: With the Packs past defense, there's no real angle unless

150
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: your name is Richie James. He's the only player to

151
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: beat the Packers for more than a hundred yards on

152
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: the season. They're tough against the slot, and they're tough

153
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: against the outside. Over to the Packers side, Aaron Jones,

154
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, and Davante Adams all are getting A grades,

155
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: and we don't really even need to talk about that.

156
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: The Panthers aren't good enough to stop them. Uh, the

157
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: two guys in the Packers we do need to talk

158
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: about Jamal Williams. I am giving a C grade to

159
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: the Panthers run defense made you believe Ronald Jones was

160
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: good and in games where that are in hand, Jamal

161
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: Williams gets double digit touches. He did it last week

162
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: against Detroit. He did it two weeks ago against Chicago.

163
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: Green Bay is an eight and a half point favorite

164
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: at home, so this is a great possibility of plenty

165
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 1: a garbage time in the second half. Finally, Robert Tony

166
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: in strong B grade here. He's been. He's been very

167
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: effective for most of the second half of the season.

168
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: How about this efficiency? Tonyan has five targets in four

169
00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: straight games, five receptions in three of those four games.

170
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: Pretty good, and a touchdown in each of those four games.

171
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: That's bankable right there. So Tongyan gets a B. The

172
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: Panthers have allowed a touchdown to a tight end three

173
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: times in the last four games, and two of those

174
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: games where they didn't allow a tight end score, they

175
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: allowed exactly sixty eight yards to opposing tight end. So

176
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: I think tongans in a in a nice little spot here.

177
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: And if he's available in your league for some dumb reason,

178
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: no chance, probably not, But yeah, he's startable. He's my

179
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: number four ranked tight ends. Wow, I got that kind

180
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: of right, Yeah, you absolutely did. Yeah, well, as as

181
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: will be proven on Saturday. Don't forget to set your set,

182
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: all your lineups, double check everything Saturday morning before those

183
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: games go off. And if you're listening to this after Saturday,

184
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: you'll already know whether or not we're right about Robert Tonyan.

185
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: Don't listen to it after Saturday. Some stations air it

186
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: after SATURDH I get you after Saturday's tell us how

187
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: Robert Togyan did at explosive output. So if we did

188
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: really bad, there might be people turning it off right

189
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: right now, these guys know nothing. I have the luxury

190
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: of not having Saturday game. Oh, I see how this

191
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: worked out. Funny Seahawks taking on the Washington football team.

192
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: Let's begin with Chris Carson. Washington started the season as

193
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: a daunting run defense, but since there Week eight by

194
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 1: even mediocre teams have had good rushing games against Washington.

195
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 1: The Giants, the Lions, the forty niners backs have averaged

196
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: one hundred sixty two total yards and almost one and

197
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: a half touchdowns per game against Washington. Chris Carson his

198
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: top five yards per carrying scored in every game since

199
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: his return from injury. He hasn't seen a ton of touches,

200
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: which is concerning, but I think he's now sitting on

201
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 1: what should be a closer game, and I think more

202
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: touches they had working in Carlos hide before before because

203
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: he wasn't fully healthy, they had a blowout win against

204
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: the Jets. I think now that this game means a lot.

205
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: I think Chris Carson and we'll be closer. Chris Carson

206
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: will get a ball, and the Seahawks lost their division

207
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: lee it, so they need to start winning again. That's right.

208
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: No dorking around Carlos Hi, thank you very much. Now

209
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: let's go to the passing game, which is way more

210
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: fascinating and really tricky for fantasy owners. Russell Wilson only

211
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: a B grade here. First, just erase last week's Jets

212
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: game from your memory because they do not count. In

213
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: the five games prior to playing the league's worst team,

214
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: Wilson average just two d thirty one yards and one

215
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: touchdown per game, two thirty one and one. That is

216
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: downright Glennonian watching Watchington's defense has been great since Week six,

217
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 1: their past defense in particular, allowing almost exactly those numbers

218
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: two hundred fifteen yards and one point three touchdowns per game.

219
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: That's it. Russell Wilson is not an automatic start. On

220
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,359
Speaker 1: your team. He is my quarterback ranked I believe eleven

221
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 1: right now for this week, you may have better options

222
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: as that guy that you don't normally start. And you

223
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: know this. You should know this because you've been starting.

224
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson hasn't always paid off. Let's go to DK Metcalf.

225
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: I'm still giving him an A grade in spite of

226
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: everything I just said because he's DK Metcalf and the

227
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: football team has been exposed a bit recently, allowing a

228
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: one yard receiver or multiple receiver touchdowns in three straight.

229
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: Metcalf lines up on the left the most often. That

230
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 1: puts him up against Kendall Fuller, who is usually a

231
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: very good cornerback, although he has had some inconsistent games

232
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 1: of late. Then Tyler Lockett slumping down to a C grade.

233
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: Mostly he's been a boomer bust receiver and he doesn't

234
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: When he does not score, he busts. And this is

235
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: a bad matchup for a touchdown dependent player because working

236
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: out of the slot, he lines up against Jimmy Morland,

237
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: who is not allowed to touch down and is giving

238
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: up just forty yards in his coverage since Week two.

239
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: So Tyler lockets C grade and honestly, it might be

240
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: a charitable C grade at that. Let's go to the

241
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: Washington side where Dwayne Haskins you're starting quarterback, and that

242
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 1: pretty much tells you where this is going to add.

243
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: The only starting players with A only players are starting

244
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: grade Logan Thomas and J. D. Mckissic. Let's just touch

245
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: on them briefly. For Logan Thomas, over the last three weeks,

246
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: he's roughly tight end six depending on your scoring system.

247
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: He's been very effective in those games. In the last

248
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: three weeks, He's caught eighteen of nineteen passes that have

249
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: been thrown his way while averaging six catches for fifty

250
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 1: four yards. He's scored twice in three games, so he's

251
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: he comes in on a good role here. Logan Thomas

252
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: will face a Seattle secondary that's been hit hard by

253
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: opposing tight ends for much of the second half of

254
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: the season. C grade. J D. Mckissic also a C grade.

255
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think he's gonna run for very

256
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: much and the Seahawks have been a good run defense

257
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: all year long. But Seahawks are bottom seven and allowing

258
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: receptions and receiving yards two running back, so I think

259
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 1: mckissic gets back to something close to the double digit

260
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 1: targets that he does periodically enjoy. What about Terry McLaurin,

261
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 1: You might be asked, McLaren, he's on the bench. Oh no, yeah,

262
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: right soon. For two straight weeks, McClaren had two catches

263
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: in less than twenty five yards. Dwayne Haskins is under helm.

264
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: It's not a death sentence to have Dwayne Haskins, and

265
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: he's throughout his careers put up decent enough box scores

266
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: with Dwayne Haskins. But Seattle's past defense has gotten to

267
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: be downright good. They're not the worst past defense anymore. No,

268
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 1: they're one of the best. Right now. Seattle hasn't allowed

269
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: a receiver to reach fifty yards in three games and

270
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: hasn't allowed to receiver to score in five games. They're

271
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: arguably the best past defense over the last three weeks,

272
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: a total one eight for the Seattle defense. And that's

273
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: why they we'll want to That's why I think they

274
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 1: will be able to shut down Terry McLaurin. You want

275
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: to keep him on the bench. I'm not even gonna

276
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 1: discuss Peyton Barber. We can agree here in the fantasy playoffs.

277
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: Peyton Barber has business being anywhere near your roster. When

278
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: we come back, Nine players upon whom you can take

279
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: a chance segment week. I'll take a chance on me.

280
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,080

Speaker 1: on the waiver wire right now, but have very good

282
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: matchups or other circumstances that make them playable. Find out

283

Speaker 1: from a band that's interested in uh in helping us

288
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: out with a better version of David which is anything

289
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 1: other than this a better version not wait, I know

290
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: it will be. It'll be a happy day debut in.

291
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: I'm hoping next week for our final final show of

298
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: Nine players you would not normally start. We'll beginning at

299
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: the quarterback position, Scott, I am going with Jared Goff.

300
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: He gets those Jets who are the second worst against

301
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: quarterback's third most yards UH and touchdowns allowed to two

302
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: quarterbacks over the last six weeks. This is what the

303
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: Jets have allowed to opposing quarterbacks on average, three yards

304
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: and three point four touchdowns. That is, those are can't

305
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: mess this up. No, no, no, as he can be,

306
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 1: he cannot mess this up. All right, you take a

307
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: chance at me. Quarterback Matt Baker Mayfield. He's thrown for

308
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: over three hundred thirty yards and two straight games, multiple

309
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: touchdown passes in three straight. The Giants a pretty tough

310
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: past defense all year long, anchored by the great play

311
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: by corner James Bradberry. But he's gone. He's on the

312
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,479
Speaker 1: COVID list and he won't play this week. That opens

313
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: the field for Baker. I like it. Yes, three straight weeks.

314
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: I'm using Sad Trombones. You gotta stop calling him sad

315
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: trombon Ski at this point. You know what, you might

316
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:27,959
Speaker 1: be right, happy trombone Ski. He's worked out for me.

317
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: In all of his starts so far, he's thrown multiple

318
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: touchdowns in four of his five full games. The key

319
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: to trombone Ski's renewed success is having the good sense

320
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: to throw to Alan Robinson constantly. Since returning to the

321
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: starting job, He's targeting Robinson eleven times per game, creating

322
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: nine yards and one touchdown per game. Justin Robinson and

323
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: Robinson's got positive matchups all over the field against the

324
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:53,880
Speaker 1: Vikings tissue thin secondary. Let's go to the running back position, Scott,

325
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: I am going with Jeff Wilson, despite the fact that

326
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 1: he mostered his off the injury report and he's he's

327
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: supposedly ready to go. He's he's been dealing with an

328
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 1: ankle injury, and I do think it's going to be

329
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: somewhat of a split. Wilson has seven red red zone

330
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: touches in just the last two weeks. All the other

331
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: running backs for the Foreign Niers combined have three. Uh

332
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: He's had nine plus touches in five of his eight

333
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: healthy games, including four straight. Um and The Ravens had

334
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: two running backs do great against the forty Niners. The

335
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 1: Vikings had two running backs sorry against the Cowboys. The

336
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: Ravens and the Vikings both had two running backs do

337
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: great against so I think that there's room for Wilson.

338
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I think it's a savvy move. Uh, Matt,

339
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: let's go with you and take a chance of me

340
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 1: running back. I've got Damien Harris who's down to fifty

341
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: ownership in ESPN leagues. And that's because since the return

342
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 1: of Sony Michelle, Harris is down to the heavy end

343
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: of a sixty time share. Uh. That still probably works

344
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: in this case because they play the Dolphins this week.

345
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: And what did the Patriots do the first time they

346
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 1: played the Dolphins. It's absolutely bonkers. They ran the ball

347
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: twenty six times with their running backs, they ran the

348
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 1: ball fifteen times with their quarterback, and they added another

349
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 1: six receptions by their backs. They're gonna run a single

350
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: wing or a wishbone here and just run it over

351
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: and over. And a few weeks ago, the Dolphins faced

352
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 1: the Broncos, who were not passing well at that time.

353
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: They had Melvin Gordon and Philip Lindsay in the backfield.

354
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 1: Each of them carried the ball fifteen times. Each of

355
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: them went over eight yards on the ground. I think

356
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 1: that's the blueprint for the Patriots here. Might take a

357
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: chance on me running back. Is Lynn Bowden up the

358
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:38,959
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins might be a wide receiver in some weeks,

359
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: but depend on his eligibility pretty much every every online scoring,

360
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: every online system. Lynn Boden's treated like a running back,

361
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,440
Speaker 1: and really he does take a few snaps in the backfield,

362
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: but mostly he's a wide out. Some combination of the

363
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: following Dolphins are gonna miss this game, Miles Gaskin, Savon Akhmed,

364
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 1: DeVante Parker, Mike Kaseki, and Jakim Grant. I don't know

365
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: which ones are gonna be in around and they're all

366
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 1: game time, he said, I don't know for sure, but

367
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: some combination they're gonna be out, and that's gonna give

368
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: space for our hybrid utility runner receiver Lynn Voden. Like

369
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: last week when he let the Dolphins in targets, receptions,

370
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: and yards, he was on the field more than any

371
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,120
Speaker 1: Dolphins skill player other than two a last week. New

372
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: England's a good defense, but not the impenetrable defense we

373
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 1: have seen in recent years. Charge He also played quarterback

374
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 1: and he threw a past last week. Are you going

375
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 1: to call the quarterback touchdown from we have a controversy.

376
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: Not only that I am I am not only calling

377
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: a quarterback passing a passing touch on to himself also

378
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: as wide receiver. In fact, I think we're gonna I'm

379
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: gonna go one step further. I think he is going

380
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: to execute a halfback option from quarterback him to running

381
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: back him throwing the ball to receiver him all all,

382
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: Lynn Boden, how about didn't Nelson do that on the

383
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: Simpsons one time? Probably? I think he should do a

384
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: double fleet flicker. He should get two hands it to

385
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: a fluff flee flicker to it to flip it back

386
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 1: to him and then he throws it downfield Mr. Perfect style. Yeah. Absolutely,

387
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: let's go to the wide receiver position. Scott, your take

388
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: a chance for me receiver. I'm going with Jared Cook,

389
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 1: which feels a little gross. There's three different players in

390
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: this game I could definitely take a chance on. But

391
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 1: this is a team that just allowed a hundred and

392
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: ten yards and two scores to the Gisecky shaheen smythe group.

393
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,239
Speaker 1: That's a weird uh the firm, isn't it? I think? So?

394
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: They allowed four for fifty seven to Fan, they allowed

395
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 1: ten for hundred forty two Gronk and Braid eighty eight

396
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 1: and one to Waller. Wouldn't even scoring that one over

397
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: the last four They're just getting demolished by tight ends.

398
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: With Michael Thomas out, I think Jared Cook might see

399
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: some work, all right, And your receiver matt Richard Higgins

400
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: of the Browns. Did I mention that James Bradberry is out? Yes,

401
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 1: you did. Higgins has nine and ten targets in the

402
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 1: last two weeks, six receptions in both nine games. He

403
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: has scored a touchdown in each of those games. He's

404
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: putting up the numbers we wanted Odell Beckham to put

405
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 1: up in Cleveland, and he's doing it right now. The

406
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: Eagles secondary is a disaster. Safety Rodney McLoud towards a

407
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 1: c l last week. Cornerback Davante Maddox is going to

408
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: miss this game of the knee injury, and Darius slays

409
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 1: in the concussion protocol. So you're all that together. Christian

410
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: Kirk he remains a instrumental part of the Cardinals offense,

411
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: averaging a nine snapshare over the last month. He's kind

412
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 1: of a low volume guy. He's usually like three catches

413
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 1: four catches, so you gotta pick your spots. But against

414
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: that banged up secondary. This feels like one for Christian Kirk,

415
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: and Christian Kirk's been very predictable this year in the

416
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: wide open like this, he's been really good. I think

417
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: you're right. Detroy takes on Tennessee Scott and I just

418
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 1: got this feeling. This is like the big DeAndre Swift,

419
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 1: you know, big, the big blowout game coming right here.

420
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 1: I want to believe it's all going to come together.

421
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: The heavy usage, he should be fully health SPA. This

422
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: feels like the spot, especially if Stafford doesn't go Staffords

423
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 1: the tough s B I don't think. I don't think

424
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: he's going uh. In fact, I'm not sure he ever

425
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: plays another game as a Lion. But that's a whole

426
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 1: other conversation. Here's the thing. I had Swift as a

427
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: B grade with Daniel because I'm worried about that offense

428
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: keeping it moving, and an A grade with Stafford, and

429
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 1: which I think that's fair. Yeah, Titans are seventh worst

430
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: against running backs. Swift returned and he was supposed to

431
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: be limited, and he kind of was because he didn't

432
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: get a lot of touches, but he did a lot

433
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: with them. He also has five targets, got five targets,

434
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 1: which I love to see, you know, I love to

435
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,879
Speaker 1: see that kind of workload. Given the matchup, the fifteen

436
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: plus touch range, forty five balls, I I put a

437
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: B grade on him with Daniel in because it's a

438
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: good matchup against the seventh worst ranked the Titans. There

439
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 1: Chase Daniel, I'm actually gonna put a C grade on

440
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna give him C grade. But in in practicality,

441
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 1: who's going to start him in a game like it

442
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 1: has to be a super flex you just lost Tasting

443
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: Hill or something. Who you were starting? Maybe? Uh, Titans

444
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 1: fifth worst against quarterbacks, second worst against wide receivers, so

445
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: that passing game might be able to get some work going,

446
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: and they're likely to fall behind, so they're gonna have

447
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 1: to pass to catch up. I have Marvin Jones with

448
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: a C grade. Kenny Golladay out again. I'm not even

449
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 1: sure he plays for the team anymore at this point.

450
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: Franchise tag might muck up the works up. We'll see. Yeah, Uh,

451
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: I like a lot Jones Jones a lot more if

452
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: Stafford goes but under Chase Daniel. The matchup Systu to

453
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 1: Juicy Tennessee Ranks twenty six against the pass. Uh, he's

454
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: gonna get a good match up against Kenny Vicarlo and

455
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 1: Jones is averaging nine point six targets per game over

456
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: the last five which is a lot of volume. That

457
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: is a lot of ammudolive on the bench. But Hackinson

458
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: I got a B grade too, because in a year

459
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 1: of terrible tight ends, like every year, no matter how

460
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: much we try to pretend to ourselves that it won't

461
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: be Uh, he's been consistent every day in week at

462
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 1: least fifty yards and or a touchdown in all but

463
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: one game, even with Daniel Ann I'm I'm gonna give

464
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him the B grade. On the other side, Uh,

465
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry should have been my take a chance on

466
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: me player. Obviously for Derrick Henry, obvious A for a J.

467
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 1: Brown who has only one dot all year. I over

468
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 1: analyzed it that week, gave him like a C grade

469
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: or something, but he's only got one dot all year.

470
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: A grade for a J. Brown. Ryan Tannehill B grade.

471
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: We called the get right game for Tannehill a couple

472
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: of weeks ago against Cleveland, he had multiple scores Again

473
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: last week. The lines have allowed multiple scores UH to

474
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,679
Speaker 1: nine quarterbacks two forty plus to all but one, and

475
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: they've had three touchdowns per game two quarterbacks over the

476
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: last three I think it's another good spot for Tannehill

477
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: be grade there, Corey Davis. He's been a little more

478
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: hit and missed recently. But this is a Lions team

479
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: that is fourth worst against wide receivers in the last

480
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: five weeks alone. They've allowed over twelve hundred yards to

481
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:05,360
Speaker 1: wide receivers five weeks the next closest team. So that's

482
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: unreal separation there. Uh So that's two d one yards

483
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: per game to wide receivers. I think he's gonna have

484
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 1: some room to work. Can we get tann Hill to

485
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:17,479
Speaker 1: an A then I love his receiver. I got him

486
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: as an A. I do too. I wonder if Derrick

487
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: I wonder if Derrick Henry gets two hundred plus yards.

488
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,640
Speaker 1: Maybe they're saving him for the playoffs. Now they're gonna

489
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: chuck it. I'm I'm keeping Tanning b because I think

490
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 1: they might run too much. They might get up too

491
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 1: much and run too much. New England takes on Miami.

492
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: Matt and you already said you like Damien Harriss as

493
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: you take a chance on me running back. Is there

494
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 1: any part of the rest of the team that you like?

495
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 1: Is there any part of the rest of the game

496
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: that we haven't already talked about? So Newton, I'm giving

497
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: him a C grade. These two teams did square in

498
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 1: week one. Like I mentioned, the Pats didn't even try

499
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 1: to pass the ball. Uh. Newton ran fifteen times, had

500
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: seventy five rushing yards and two scores in that game.

501
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: Considering cam is averaging nine passing yards per game over

502
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: his last three games. High school quarterback, but he's averaging

503
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 1: ten rushing attempts per game. That sounds like a high

504
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,680
Speaker 1: school quarterback. Um, that's why I'm giving him a C.

505
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 1: Because the Pats just might run the wishbone the whole time.

506
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm gonna go with Jacoby Myers and

507
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,119
Speaker 1: any of the receivers with nine yards per game. And

508
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: it sounds like Julian Edelman looks like he might return

509
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: in this one, but you're not picking him up at

510
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: this point. To ah, I got him on the bench

511
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 1: this week. The Pats just held Kyler, air Bear and

512
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: Goff to an average of one seventy two passing yards

513
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: over the last three weeks, with only one score between

514
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: the three of them, and two looked all right last

515
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: week against Kansas City, but he's just not generating enough

516
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: with his feet to overcome this really bad passing matchup,

517
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 1: especially when you consider the injuries at wide receiver. Church

518
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: mentioned Davante Parker with a hamstring, Jachem Grant with a hamstring,

519
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: bolt trending the wrong way, so is Mike Sticky with

520
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: a shoulder injury. I fear all three will miss time,

521
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: so incerta Lynn Bowden as you take a chance on

522
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: me wide receiver slash running back. And then Myles Gaskin

523
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 1: is still on the COVID list and they're talking like

524
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 1: he might not go again this week, which is why

525
00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: DeAndre Washington started last week and looked like a dumpster fire.

526
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: So we might see Patrick Laird more this week. Speaking

527
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: of dumpster fires, he's looking brutal too. That's yeah, that's it.

528
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 1: That's not really He's just looked like Patrick Lair. He's been.

529
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,439
Speaker 1: He's been very Patrick Laird, hasn't he. Yeah, it certainly

530
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 1: has looked that way. When we come back, Chicago takes

531
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 1: on Minnesota. The Vikings passing attack missed a great opportunity

532
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 1: last week to roll up big numbers. How about this week?

533
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: Can you trust Kirk Cousins, Justin Jefferson and Adam Feeling

534
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: in a matchup against the Bears. Will tell you when

535
00:28:49,440 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back to

536
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly. Final segment of our number one Fantasy

537
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. Paul Geargie and Scott Fish and Matt Harrison

538
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: with you. Chicago takes on Minnesota. Let's start on the

539
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: Chicago side. Mitch true Biscy was my take a chance

540
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 1: on me quarterback, and I do like him in this spot.

541
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: So why are you sad? It's just he just likes

542
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: that one. I just like he does it. It's like

543
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: seconds long it is, and you want to waste time

544
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: on the show. I do like to waste time on

545
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: the show. It just a little soothing background trombone solo

546
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 1: behind this epic matchup with Allen Robinson getting an A grade.

547
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: As I mentioned earlier, averaging nine one yards over the

548
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 1: past three games with Travisky under center. That bears another

549
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: positive going up against division rival Minnesota for allowing one

550
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: two yards per game to receivers over the last four games.

551
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: That is the eighth most over the last four Robinson

552
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 1: has traditionally struggled against the Vikings, though, averaging just fifty

553
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: eight scoreless yards in four games. But I still think

554
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: he's got good matchups and especially two of the three spots,

555
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 1: so he lines up all across the I'll have a

556
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: fun stat here, YEA, give it to me. The Vikings

557
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 1: have allowed forty eight class plays of over twenty yards.

558
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson has not eighteen on his on his own.

559
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: For a guy who's been catching balls from Nick Foles

560
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 1: for half the season, that's a lot of deep plays

561
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,880
Speaker 1: for Allen Robinson. Also, Darnell Mooney gets a C grade here.

562
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: He scored last week and I frequently mentioned him as

563
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: a dark throw. I mentioned it last week. We did

564
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: get a touchdown out of that. Wait a minute, same

565
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: thing here. Vikings are down to undrafted Journey and Chris

566
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: Jones at cornerback who most often see Mooney, who runs

567
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: from the right side of the field the most often.

568
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: That's Jones side of the field. So I like Darnel

569
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: Mooney with a C grade cole Commit tight end. He

570
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: spiked to a new high with an eighty five percent

571
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: snap share last week, and the Vikings are without star

572
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: linebacker Eric Kendricks once again without Kendricks the past two weeks,

573
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski scored in the week before that, the anonymous

574
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: Jaguars tight ends combined for ten catches and eighty five yards.

575
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: I like Cole Commit in this game. And then David

576
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: Montgomery A grade for him. Over the last three games,

577
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: Montgomery has averaged one hundred thirty six total yards and

578
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 1: one point three touchdowns per game. And over the Minnesota's

579
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 1: last four games, the Dallas Carolina, Jacksonville, and Tampa Backs,

580
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: and these are not exactly rushing powerhouses. In Dallas, Carolina,

581
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: Jacksonville and Tampa have averaged one hundred thirty total yards

582
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: and a touchdown per game. And again, the loss of

583
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: tackling machine Eric Kendricks makes this a particularly good matchup

584
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 1: for David Montgomery. Let's go to the Viking side, where

585
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook is an obvious A and we're not going

586
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: to spend extra time on that, but let's talk about

587
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: the passing game that is down last week. Kirk cousins

588
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: Um is a B grade here. The Chicago Past defense

589
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: was slumping until last week when it went largely unchallengable

590
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: win against an injury depleted team and put Prior to that,

591
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:20,000
Speaker 1: the Bears have allowed multiple passing touchdowns in six straight

592
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: games Cousins through and two in his Week ten matchup

593
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: with Chicago, it looks like the Bears are going to

594
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: be without two starting cornerbacks in this game. UM we

595
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,960
Speaker 1: believe that it's going to be buster screen out and

596
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: Jalen Johnson shaping up like a game time decision, So

597
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: that should that should tilt the scales towards Jefferson and

598
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: Feeling here. Chicago is allowed one hundred yard receiver or

599
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: multiple receiver scores and four of the past five UM

600
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: the again, only the Texans and their depleted receivers did

601
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,680
Speaker 1: not make that happen. Jefferson will mostly square off with

602
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: rookie Jalen Johnson if he can go, and if he

603
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: can't go, then I like Jalen. I like Justin Jefferson

604
00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: even more this week. And if he doesn't go, if

605
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: Jalen Johnson does not go, elevate Justin Jefferson to an

606
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 1: A grade. Feeling will draw the tougher coverage against Kyle Fuller,

607
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: who's allowing just thirty five yards in his coverage. Thus

608
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: the b grade on Adam Feeling last Viking to mention

609
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: IRV Smith. Cayle Rudolph has been ruled out, so Irv

610
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 1: Smith becomes viable in those situations. The Bears have been

611
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 1: incredibly vulnerable to tight ends, Chicago allowing the third most receptions,

612
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: seventh most yards, eighth most touchdowns. Too tight ends. Let's

613
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: go to our next matchup San Francisco taking on Dallas

614
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 1: for San Francisco where he Morris It Morris, He's a coach.

615
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 1: He most dirt is expected to be available for this game.

616
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: He already told us you like Jeff Wilson. What about

617
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: Raheemo Sterret I do I I have a B grade

618
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: on Raheem Mostret. I do think he'll probably get the

619
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: most work of them. The Cowboys sixth worst against running backs.

620
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: I mentioned that before, and they have allowed multiple runners

621
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: to have good games. Uh most are if he does

622
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 1: get the most touches, I'm gonna give him the b

623
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: and Wilson the sea. Uh. In the passing game, I

624
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 1: got Mullins on the bench. He looked really bad last

625
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: week and Shanahan toyed with the idea of moving on

626
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 1: from him, but early in the week decided, Okay, I'm

627
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 1: gonna stick with Mullins, But that concerns me that he

628
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: might be on a short leash. That's that's a fair concern.

629
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: Although I thought Mullins looked very good the week before Buffalo. Yeah. Um,

630
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: the Cowboys have also held the last three quarterbacks they

631
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 1: played to two seventeen or fewer yards and just four

632
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns combined. That's a shocking improvement for Dallas. Yeah.

633
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayouk, however, I have an a grade on the

634
00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 1: last two games that he played with Nick Mullins, with

635
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 1: Kurt with Deebo Samuel out twenty four targets, seventeen catches,

636
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: nearly two hundred yards and a score that's you know,

637
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 1: last week plus the week three, the game three weeks

638
00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: before that. So Mullins tends to get tunnel vision for

639
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 1: him apparently in that situation. So I have an a

640
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: grade on Ayouk. I think he might be targeted at

641
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: Ton against the Dallas team that's allowed twenty two wide

642
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,240
Speaker 1: receiver touchdowns on their way to be in the second

643
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: worst of the position. When we when fantasy, when you

644
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 1: know those of us in the fantasy community, well what's

645
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: listening when we still when we go back and look

646
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: at the rookie receivers from this year. I think Justin

647
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: Jefferson might be one. I might be two, and it

648
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: might there's still time to even flip flop. You might

649
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: end up being the best fantasy receiver out of this

650
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: draft class. And it's in the rookie season. Yeah, And

651
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: imagine if Lam had Prescott and had a quarterback like

652
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: Higgans didn't lose his I mean, so many really good ones,

653
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: so many good ones. You might be the best of them,

654
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 1: is the point I'm trying to make. I don't think

655
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 1: we're done on Reagor yet either. Uh. I have have

656
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: born In James on the bench. Uh. In that Week

657
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 1: ten game with I with I you can and Samuel out,

658
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: they had three and four catches each of them, and

659
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 1: in the week in last week with that same scenario

660
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,960
Speaker 1: each had three catches about five to forty yards for

661
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 1: each of them. I think that's probably what you're looking at. Again, here,

662
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 1: the matchups a little easier, so it's it's a risk.

663
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: I guess you could, but I have him on the bench.

664
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: Jordan Reid also on the bench. He's splitting time with

665
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: Dwelly way too much, and Dallas hasn't allowed a tight

666
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:12,760
Speaker 1: end over thirty yards since week seven. Yeah, so another

667
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 1: big improvement for Dallas. Yea, when Layton vander ash is healthy,

668
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: they locked down the tight ends pretty well. Over on

669
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: the Dallas side, I have Dalton on the bench. To

670
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: a lot of bench players here over the last six

671
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: to seven games. Here's what quarterbacks have done against the

672
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: four nine ers. Wilson, Rodgers and Josh Allen torched them

673
00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 1: for four touchdowns each and average over three yards. Are

674
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: really good quarterback the other the other the other five

675
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 1: in that span under two hundred yards and no scores each.

676
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:44,879
Speaker 1: Dalton the Newton golf Alex Smith types that that's where

677
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: Dalton fits. Dalton fits in that group, so I have

678
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: him on the bench. I will put give Cooper a

679
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: see though, since Dalton took over, Cooper has eighty plus

680
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: yards and or a score in all four. He has

681
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: at least four grabs in each of them. That's seaworthy.

682
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: He's getting enough volume piece like a boat. Yeah. The

683
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 1: other guys seaworthy, well, Kenny float traditionally Cooper's or woodworkers,

684
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 1: and they're four very buoyant, very buoyant, right, you know,

685
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 1: they work with like curved wood and then you know

686
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: the wood floats and those people probably many of them

687
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: went from Cooper's to shipbuilders. Yes, that was in all

688
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: those games with the non stud quarterbacks, the second and

689
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: third wide receivers did absolutely nothing. So lamb and gallop

690
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,000
Speaker 1: around the bench. Sheltz is on the bench because the

691
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: fortnight is allowed the fewest yards and fused receptions. Tonight

692
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:38,120
Speaker 1: end not to the running game. Ezekiel Elliott. I almost

693
00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 1: do it like my bowls loosen talking about Ezekiel now

694
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: since your question a few weeks ago, that's what that

695
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,840
Speaker 1: smell is. Forty Lamar Jackson was in here before me

696
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 1: forty seventh best against running backs, second fused rushing touchdowns.

697
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 1: But over the last six weeks they've given up a

698
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: six touchdowns over the last six weeks, so they're starting

699
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 1: to give it up. The lead back is topped eighty

700
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 1: yards in four straight and that's likely to be Elliott.

701
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: So I have the C grade on Elliott. I know

702
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 1: he's got an injury. I still think he's gonna get

703
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,240
Speaker 1: the workload. If we find out more before game time,

704
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 1: maybe bench both him and Pollard because I don't trust

705
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: to split. Agreed. Tampa Bay takes on the Atlanta Falcons

706
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: Matt And for the Bucks, no Ronald Jones in this one,

707
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: and the Falcons are missing some key parts of their

708
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 1: secondary as well. Yeah, I feel like this is shaping

709
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 1: up like a Tom Brady passing game. Yeah, I'm I'm

710
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: giving him a b here um. The Bucks will also

711
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: be missing left tackle Donovan Smith, but Chart you did

712
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 1: mention that Darkeys Dinard and Ricardo Allen are gone for

713
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 1: the Falcons secondary. But Atlanta has not allowed a quarterback

714
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,439
Speaker 1: to top two fifty yards in a month and over

715
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,840
Speaker 1: the last five weeks. The Falcons are sixth in league

716
00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:49,760
Speaker 1: and passing yards allowed, and Brady is thrown from multiple

717
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:51,760
Speaker 1: scores and seven of the last eight, but the yardage

718
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: total have been wildly inconsistent, including last week. As far

719
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: as his receivers. The last Tampa Bay wide receiver to

720
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 1: top one underd yards can you guess who it was?

721
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 1: Scotty Miller in Week seven. It's been a long time,

722
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:11,160
Speaker 1: That's wild. But Atlanta's biggest week spot seems to be

723
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: the slot, where Keenan, Allen, Hunter, renfro and Michael Thomas

724
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: twice have led their team's wide receiver groups and fantasy

725
00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 1: points during a date with Atlanta in the last month.

726
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: That bode's wealth for Chris Godwin, who all given a

727
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 1: grade to. Mike Evans gets the b as the guy

728
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 1: who's getting the targets closer to the red zone. And

729
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 1: I think I'm benching Antonio Brown. He hasn't scored yet

730
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: and he looks like just a guy since returning. You know,

731
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: at the time Antonio Brown was signed, if you you know,

732
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 1: if you were the guy that acquired Antonio Brown on

733
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 1: that news, you could have traded him for almost anybody

734
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: at any other absolutely, and to this point he has

735
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 1: not scored. You should have trade on this is just

736
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:53,040
Speaker 1: like the stock market. Trade on news and hype. And

737
00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: look at Levy on Bell same thing. Trade on news

738
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 1: and hype another guy you probably could have traded on

739
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: news a few times this year. Gronk, who I'm giving

740
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: a C grade to. Atlanta's really cleaned up their tight

741
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 1: end issues since dan Quinn left, only allowing two in

742
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: the eight games since he departed. Uh Gronk had two

743
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: targets last week but cashed one in for a score.

744
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: He's startable. But there's about fifteen guys I like better.

745
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: Roe Joe's on the COVID list four net. Looks like

746
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: he's going to be the lead dog this week, even

747
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 1: though he was a healthy scratch last week. Atlanta hasn't

748
00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: allowed a one yard rusher all year. They did just

749
00:40:27,640 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 1: allow Austin Ekeler to record nine catches last week, something

750
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 1: we haven't seen against the Falcons in many moons, many moons.

751
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,399
Speaker 1: I can't believe I missed a nine times there. Geez,

752
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 1: what am I doing? Slipping in my old age? Let's

753
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 1: go to another guy who's in his old age. That's

754
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,840
Speaker 1: Julio Jones who's been ruled out of this one, and

755
00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: another guy who's gaining an age, Calvin Ridley. It's a

756
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 1: birthday game for Calvin Ridley this weekend he's gaining literally

757
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 1: gaining an age. Weekend Sunday is his birthday. He gets

758
00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: the birthday a that's at the Ardvarks. No, it would

759
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: be I can't give a fonsi away, but you know, um,

760
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:11,879
Speaker 1: when Jones is dinged up or doesn't play, Ridley gets

761
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: a hundred yards or scores. It's as simple as that.

762
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: It's happened four times this year together. It's always one

763
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,399
Speaker 1: or the other. He's had a hundred in three of them,

764
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:23,879
Speaker 1: and he's scored in the other one, so fo he's

765
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 1: four or four. Tampa held the Vikings receivers in check

766
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: last week, but we're only a game removed from Tyreek

767
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: Hill almost hitting three hundred yards and both Rams wide

768
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,760
Speaker 1: receivers top two hundred yards three games ago. Finally, uh

769
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 1: from the from the passing game, Matt Ryan's getting a

770
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,759
Speaker 1: C grade here. Ryan's hit the three hundred yard mark

771
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: only three times this year and zero times in his

772
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:48,439
Speaker 1: last six. But he's startable because Goff and Mahomes each

773
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: roasted this defense in the last three games, both going

774
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: over three seventy yards with multiple scores. And you don't

775
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 1: have a Falcon's running back on your roster if you're

776
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: still in the playoffs, they're on the bench. Jets take

777
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: on the Rams, Scott and for the Jets, I don't

778
00:42:04,200 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 1: think there's anybody that we're talking about here again against

779
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 1: a maybe the best defense in the NFL. No, we're not,

780
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 1: but I gotta say you're throwing major shade at Russell

781
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: Gauge man. I love Russell Gauge. I love Russell Gauge

782
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 1: and with Zekias on I R and Juliu Jones out,

783
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 1: He's gonna get some work. We went back to the

784
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,240
Speaker 1: Falcons matchup. How'd that happened? I'm giving a C grade

785
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:28,880
Speaker 1: to Russell. I like it alright, New York Jets. I

786
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: am starting No. One the Rams of the top team

787
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:34,440
Speaker 1: against quarterback's, fifth best against running backs, the best against

788
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: wide receivers, their middle of the pack against tight ends.

789
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,320
Speaker 1: But do you want to start Christma? So I'm giving

790
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 1: a B grade to Sam Donald. I would rather start

791
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: Russell Gauge over Sam Donald. Alright, Jared goff over On

792
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: the Rams side, the Jets are second worst against quarterbacks.

793
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: I already mentioned him as might take a chance on

794
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: me player, so I obviously like him. I like his

795
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: wide receivers in this one cup third most receptions and

796
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 1: fifth most yards allowed to watch receivers. The Jets are

797
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: Seattle just had three different receivers score on this team.

798
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 1: All had lower yardage. But given guys like Beasley and

799
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen, even Myers, Parker, Hopkins, Patrick, a bunch of

800
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:21,439
Speaker 1: players have just crushed the Jets and several slot guys.

801
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: I have a B on Cup and I have a

802
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 1: B on Woods, I would expect similar to the Bucks

803
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:28,560
Speaker 1: game where the top two guys both went over a hundred.

804
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: That's that's what I'm explained. Woods is an A grade.

805
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,399
Speaker 1: To my mind, I think I don't. I don't think

806
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 1: you're wrong. These are like this is like the B

807
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 1: plus A minus range. I think is what it is.

808
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 1: So I'm fine with your A. I'll let you convince

809
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,359
Speaker 1: me and do an A there. Uh, Tyler Hagbe, I'm

810
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 1: giving a C grade to the Jets are terrible against

811
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 1: tight ends. Uh. It's tough to start a guy like Higbee,

812
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: but the Jets have allowed the third most touchdowns to

813
00:43:50,760 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 1: tight ends, third most yards. Cam Akers, It's finally time, baby.

814
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: I'm giving him an A grade. Two straight with twenty

815
00:43:57,160 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 1: two plus touches uh fifty plus snaps last week. Only

816
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 1: two backs have tory plus touches against these Jets, but

817
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,239
Speaker 1: they both went over a hundred fifteen yards. One had

818
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: a hundred sixty six yards. Gentser on defense is pretty good,

819
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 1: though they're way easier to beat through the air. The

820
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 1: path of least resistance is through the Still think he

821
00:44:14,320 --> 00:44:16,359
Speaker 1: gets twenty plus touches in the game they're running out

822
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:19,920
Speaker 1: the clock on very that that scenario is very likely

823
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 1: when we come back. Plenty more to get to, including

824
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 1: three tough questions play along see if you can go

825
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 1: three and oh on Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy

826
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:50,240
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. I am Paul Charchy and my co hosts

827
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:52,400
Speaker 1: are Matt Harrison and Scott Fish. You can follow us

828
00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,479
Speaker 1: on Twitter at Paul Charchy and you'll have to figure

829
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: out how to spell it at Scott Fish twenty four.

830
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 1: At Scott Fish, you act like I didn't know that

831
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:03,280
Speaker 1: I'm a if you mind at explosive output. Very nicely,

832
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: said Lamar Jackson's burner account. Yes it's me Lamar Jackson.

833
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 1: I'm not Mario's Jackson, the Italian Lamar Jackson, Luigi Jackson,

834
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:28,440
Speaker 1: Lamar D Jackson. Three tough questions. This is where you

835
00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 1: try to play along. I'll pepper my co host, with

836
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,919
Speaker 1: three tough questions. See if you come to the same

837
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 1: conclusions that they do. To question, what's the single best

838
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 1: way to handle ties in a playoff game? Scott, I

839
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 1: think it's just highest seed advantage advances. I I usually

840
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 1: like to in my personal leagues push both teams through

841
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: to the next round and then have a three way

842
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 1: and have the top winner go. But when you have

843
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: to break ties if you're at least if you're going

844
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 1: to the hundredth stessmal point, it's gonna be super rare.

845
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: And I give a little credence to to you know,

846
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,359
Speaker 1: what they've done in the sular season, how they got there.

847
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 1: That's that's just a small home field. Home field, your home. Yeah,

848
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 1: I know that. There's the you know, pick a pick

849
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: a starter, you're starting running back, a wide receiver, pick

850
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 1: a non start running the lots of ways. I just

851
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 1: think I see give them that home field advantage. Okay, Matt,

852
00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:17,320
Speaker 1: what is the best way to handle ties in a

853
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: playoff game? I'm gonna get this right because you've done

854
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 1: this for years with me. Um what Scott said? Answer? Okay, fine,

855
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:30,319
Speaker 1: here's the most important thing, commissioners, and you can do

856
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: this right now. Have a rule established, anything in place.

857
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 1: Anything is good. So if you do not have a

858
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 1: playoff tiebreaker written down edged in stone, find something anything

859
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: that you can that you can get a coin flip

860
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: that even even that bad it's a bad one, but

861
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 1: if it's one of those Fantasy Football weekly coins, then

862
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 1: it's a much better answer. Would have your fastest child

863
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:59,839
Speaker 1: run videotape. It Here's what it can't be about head

864
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:02,239
Speaker 1: to head in the regular season. That is not your

865
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 1: tie breaker here, because hey, it has nothing to do

866
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:07,319
Speaker 1: with what happened to this current week and be it

867
00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: could be that when these teams played had to had

868
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:11,160
Speaker 1: one team was at full strength, the other team had

869
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,319
Speaker 1: three guys on by or whatever, So don't use that.

870
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,319
Speaker 1: It also can't be about backups. I hear this all

871
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 1: the time. I hate the well we go to our backups.

872
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 1: You know, you're watering down one of the key elements

873
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:25,759
Speaker 1: of skill for fantasy managers, which is deciding bench start players.

874
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 1: I want, I want the outcome to be decided by starters.

875
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:31,839
Speaker 1: On to that point, you could just fill your bench

876
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 1: with quarterbacks, yes, which I've done and been in the

877
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: past when I've had these, when I've been in leagues

878
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 1: that have that, I'll just drop everybody I've got, pick

879
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 1: up nothing but quarterbacks, and even if they're bad quarterbacks,

880
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 1: I'll get a bunch of points from them. And well

881
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 1: it's a free point, so why not, right, Um, I

882
00:47:51,440 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: use total yards among start yards in total total total

883
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: mark yards amongst starters are never gonna there's never gonna

884
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:01,280
Speaker 1: be a tie that way. Totally yards among starters. Tough

885
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:07,360
Speaker 1: question number two. In the playoffs particularly, should fantasy managers

886
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 1: take their opponent's roster into consideration when setting their own

887
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:16,320
Speaker 1: line up? Matt Oh, I was gonna say what Scott said,

888
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: what Scott is about? What Scott is about to say.

889
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,680
Speaker 1: I hope he's about to say, Uh, there is some

890
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 1: gamesmanship to him to this. Uh. If you know your opponent,

891
00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: for instance, has a guy like DeAndre Hopkins and you

892
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:33,319
Speaker 1: play Kyler Murray, that mitigates a little bit of what

893
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 1: Hopkins can do on the high end. But I only

894
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 1: really consider it in that kind of scenario where I'm

895
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 1: playing against a stud wide receiver and I have his

896
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 1: quarterback in a good matchup as well. So if that

897
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 1: wide receiver goes off in all likelihoods, so does my

898
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 1: quarterback and I erase his big moment in the sun Scott.

899
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,839
Speaker 1: In the playoffs in particular, should fantasy managers take their

900
00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 1: opponent's roster into consideration when setting their own line up? Nah?

901
00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,840
Speaker 1: I don't, I barely. That's not what Scott said about

902
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 1: its about its line up. I think the only only

903
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 1: position I would is that is a tiebreak, Like if

904
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: I have two players that are similar and I think

905
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 1: that there's an advantage to glean versus my opponent's UH

906
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: lineup for that, maybe, but not. I don't really care

907
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 1: about my I'm trying to get as many points as

908
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:24,319
Speaker 1: i can, and I'm starting the players that I think

909
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:27,240
Speaker 1: are going to score the most points. Yes, you should

910
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 1: take your opponents of roster in consideration because you need

911
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 1: to know am I a favorite or am I an underdog,

912
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 1: especially if I'm a big favorite or a big underdog,

913
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:40,920
Speaker 1: because that's what sets the risk profile of your roster.

914
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 1: As an underdog, you need to play more high risk,

915
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:50,800
Speaker 1: high reward players. I'm I'm more willing to couple, for example,

916
00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 1: as one example, I'm more willing to couple wide receivers

917
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,319
Speaker 1: and quarterbacks together if I need to have. If I'm

918
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:59,120
Speaker 1: an underdog, I need to have something big hit for

919
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: me to succeed, or high or other players that are

920
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:06,720
Speaker 1: touchdown dependent that Now I'm a lot more interested Cam Newton,

921
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 1: who I hate in most regards. This is a scenario

922
00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 1: if I'm an underdog and I need him to run

923
00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 1: two touchdowns in this is a scenario where I'm starting

924
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,319
Speaker 1: Cam Newton. It's all about the risk profile. You need

925
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 1: to know if you're a favorite or an underdog, if

926
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 1: it's relatively even. Now I'm where Scott was standing a

927
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 1: minute ago. Now I'm just playing for the most points.

928
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 1: But if I'm a favorite or an underdog, I do

929
00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: change it. What if I'm a favorite, Well, now I

930
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: can manage situations like well, you just describe if one

931
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 1: of if my opponent has got a great wide receiver

932
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:40,600
Speaker 1: and I'm the favorite, I absolutely want to be able

933
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:43,200
Speaker 1: to start that quarterback if I can, because I do

934
00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 1: want to mitigate points. Then However, if I'm a big

935
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,320
Speaker 1: underdog and Matt's got a great receiver, I have to

936
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,239
Speaker 1: go to a different direction and hope that receiver does

937
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:55,839
Speaker 1: not sure. So correct answer is yes. Tough question number three,

938
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:58,360
Speaker 1: James Robinson is going to finish the season as a

939
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 1: top ten back for or and maybe a top five

940
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 1: back next year. Will you draft James Robinson in rounds

941
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 1: one or two, three or four or later than round four?

942
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:15,319
Speaker 1: Scott probably still in the three to four range. Uh,

943
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,320
Speaker 1: much much like for Net last year. But uh, I

944
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:21,439
Speaker 1: think James Robinson has less injury risk and he's younger.

945
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 1: He's not gonna be off the team, So but probably

946
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 1: on the higher end of that three to four range. Uh.

947
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,440
Speaker 1: This year, there's there's just been so many injuries up top,

948
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:31,359
Speaker 1: I don't want to risk it as much. But more

949
00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 1: than that, he might have a different quarterback, he might

950
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: have a different coaching staff. UM. I can see it

951
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 1: going up if he gets a guy like Brady Joe

952
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:41,239
Speaker 1: Brady or b Enemy or something and gets a better

953
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:44,400
Speaker 1: quarterback that can run that offense better. Um, But for

954
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:46,719
Speaker 1: right now, where we're sitting right now, I think I

955
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:48,799
Speaker 1: have him in the three to four range. All right, Matt,

956
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 1: are you going to take James Robinson next year in

957
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:54,839
Speaker 1: rounds one or two, three or four or later than

958
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 1: round four? Well, the answer is Scott's not going to

959
00:51:57,160 --> 00:51:59,360
Speaker 1: get him, because you're not going to get James Robinson

960
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:04,000
Speaker 1: and rounds three year four where I know I'm getting there, charged, geez,

961
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 1: get your pants back. I also didn't get for Net

962
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 1: last year because I was I would have drafted him

963
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 1: in the fourth third. I was able to obtain a

964
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:18,359
Speaker 1: couple of mocks and some a DPS already way too

965
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 1: early a DPS right next Um, right now, he's going

966
00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 1: anywhere between ten and fifteen in mocks right now, so

967
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: that puts him in that weird end of round one

968
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 1: beginning of round two turn where people often take two

969
00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:37,279
Speaker 1: running backs and it often fails miserably. So at the

970
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 1: end of that round, you're going to be choosing between

971
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 1: Robinson and guys like Travis Kelsey, DK metcalf A, j Brown,

972
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:47,240
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes if you're into that, and more established runners

973
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 1: like Aaron Jones, Josh Jacobs or Zeke So those are

974
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 1: the guys that you're going to be choosing. Weird with

975
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 1: James Robinson, So you're a what are you doing? You're

976
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:01,800
Speaker 1: gonna have to take between round one and two, So

977
00:53:02,360 --> 00:53:04,840
Speaker 1: I guess I'm not getting him. But that's so risky,

978
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 1: Like he has nobody behind him. What if they draft

979
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 1: a good running back to share with him? What if

980
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:12,800
Speaker 1: the offense is different with Can I go nope? Thanks?

981
00:53:13,080 --> 00:53:18,399
Speaker 1: Do it? Do it all right? Matt Scott, close your eyes,

982
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: close your eyes if you're driving, Do not close your eyes,

983
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 1: keep them open. I want you to picture highlight moments

984
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:29,799
Speaker 1: from James Robinson. I got a couple, but I would

985
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 1: guess I don't think I've seen a Jaguars game. He

986
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: has hurtled people at least twice one twenty yard reception

987
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:40,879
Speaker 1: on like his first game, he hurdled someone. Here's why

988
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 1: I'm skeptical. Is he a good runner? It's James Robinson,

989
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 1: a good runner. He's good. He's a good he's a

990
00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: good runner. He's a good I don't see enough athleticism

991
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:52,879
Speaker 1: from him to suggest he's going to make a year

992
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:56,920
Speaker 1: to leap and he's not going to get of the

993
00:53:56,960 --> 00:53:59,880
Speaker 1: workload next year. There's no chance he's going to do that.

994
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,440
Speaker 1: The Jaguars simply couldn't find other ways to score or

995
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:06,799
Speaker 1: move the ball this year. Almost by default, it has

996
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:09,279
Speaker 1: to get better next season. It just feels like he

997
00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:11,839
Speaker 1: caught lighting in a bottle this year. I'm not I'm

998
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:13,560
Speaker 1: just not buying it because I don't think he's a

999
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:16,439
Speaker 1: special back. And at the end of the first round

1000
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:19,719
Speaker 1: I want special backs to me is ADP right now?

1001
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: This early ADP is absurd. I want special players at

1002
00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 1: that stage For me, he hits. He fits the profile

1003
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 1: for the kind of guys I totally avoid doing the

1004
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,239
Speaker 1: He's the exact guys I don't take. And if they

1005
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: somehow linger into round five, now we're talking now that

1006
00:54:37,200 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 1: that's where I want my James Robinson's I think to

1007
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 1: Scott to the point you were starting to make, there's

1008
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 1: gonna be other players there that are gonna start eating

1009
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 1: into his into his work that load next year, I

1010
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 1: am round four or later on, James Robinson. Let's get

1011
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:55,080
Speaker 1: back to our matchups, including Houston taking on the Indianapolis Colts.

1012
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:58,360
Speaker 1: We'll be in with David Johnson, who faces an elite

1013
00:54:58,440 --> 00:55:00,960
Speaker 1: run defense and this is a very icy start for him.

1014
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:05,760
Speaker 1: Just a C grade. Non Derrick Henry running backs haven't

1015
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:09,760
Speaker 1: gone over eighty eight rushing yards this season against Indie.

1016
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:13,320
Speaker 1: Not only that, they haven't gone over one hundred yards

1017
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:18,279
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis last fifty eight games. There's a lot of

1018
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 1: non Derrick Henry runners out there, a lot of I

1019
00:55:21,960 --> 00:55:27,040
Speaker 1: am a non Derrick Henry runner. Yes, Johnson is a uber,

1020
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:30,279
Speaker 1: low ceiling plotting runner who gets bailed out with a

1021
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:32,719
Speaker 1: touchdown every now and again. He did against India a

1022
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, which saved him from an otherwise

1023
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:36,799
Speaker 1: horrible game. And that's the only reason you would start.

1024
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 1: Johnson is the hope for a touchdown here. Let's go

1025
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:41,360
Speaker 1: to the passing game, where Deshaun Watson is a B grade.

1026
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 1: He played well. Against Indianapolis two weeks ago, he rolled

1027
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 1: up three one scoreless yards. Cold secondary maybe missing its

1028
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 1: best cornerback Xavier Rhodes, who left last week's game, and

1029
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 1: they've struggled lately, allowing over three hundred passing yards and

1030
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 1: three of the past four Colts have allowed quarterback rushing

1031
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 1: touchdowns in three straight games and four the past five games.

1032
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 1: So I think that adding the rushing opportunities here, and

1033
00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:06,879
Speaker 1: I think Deshaun Watson's actually a safe play. Still don't

1034
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:09,120
Speaker 1: love the receiver set. Still don't know for sure that

1035
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks is gonna go, but we think he's gonna play.

1036
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:15,440
Speaker 1: I've got Cooks and Kiki Cutie with b grades Cook's

1037
00:56:15,480 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 1: log just sixty five scoreless yards against this team two

1038
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:21,280
Speaker 1: weeks ago when they met, and receivers just don't score

1039
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:24,200
Speaker 1: against the cold secondary. They've surrendered only eleven touchdowns to

1040
00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 1: white outs all year. That is fourth fewest. The good

1041
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:29,600
Speaker 1: news is though, they've allowed a ninety eight yard receiver

1042
00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 1: in four straight games, so maybe that'll be him. Cutie

1043
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:34,400
Speaker 1: mostly runs from the slot, where he's got a daunting

1044
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 1: matchup with Kenny Moore, who is the current defensive player

1045
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:38,640
Speaker 1: of the week on that part of it is yet

1046
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 1: awesome interception that Kenny Moore at last week. That thing

1047
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 1: was blonkers. Uh so just to see grade on key

1048
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:49,279
Speaker 1: k QT. Then Chad Hansen, who I did players, I

1049
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:51,680
Speaker 1: did not expect to be talking about it at any

1050
00:56:51,719 --> 00:56:54,279
Speaker 1: point in this season. This is what happens in hey

1051
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: crazy story. He was out of football for three years,

1052
00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 1: comes back, he had nine NFL catches, and then he

1053
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:03,399
Speaker 1: gets forced into action two weeks ago. He posts back

1054
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 1: to back solid games. But I think Brandon Cooks comes

1055
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:07,840
Speaker 1: back and that's the end of it for Chad Hanson.

1056
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Indianapolis side, beginning with Philip Rivers

1057
00:57:11,800 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 1: surging of late. He played these same Texans two games ago,

1058
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:16,439
Speaker 1: put up a very good game two it at eighty

1059
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 1: five yards and two scores, and sandwich. Between the two

1060
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 1: Texans games, Houston got lit up by Sad trombone Ski

1061
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 1: for three touchdowns without suspended cornerback Bradley Roby. You can

1062
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 1: bank on a bad game from the Texas Texans secondary. Meanwhile,

1063
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:33,000
Speaker 1: Rivers enters the game red hot, as they mentioned, multiple

1064
00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 1: touchdowns in four straight and over two five passing yards

1065
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:38,240
Speaker 1: and four of the past five games, Philip rivers a

1066
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:42,920
Speaker 1: B grade, A grade to one of his receivers, t

1067
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 1: Y Hilton, who has spoiled us with ninety two yards

1068
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:49,200
Speaker 1: per game over the last three games, a complete one

1069
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 1: eighty degrees change from his horrible first nine games. He

1070
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:55,880
Speaker 1: has now crossed the stripe four times in those last

1071
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:58,000
Speaker 1: three games, which is more than he had had in

1072
00:57:58,080 --> 00:58:01,919
Speaker 1: his previous eighteen games combined. Houston surrendered one yard scoring

1073
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 1: efforts to a receiver and back to back games including Hilton,

1074
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 1: and I feel like this is a great opportunity. He's

1075
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:12,520
Speaker 1: gonna light up, primarily against cornerback Keyon krosson a career backup.

1076
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 1: Also among receivers Michael Pittman with a C grade. I

1077
00:58:17,680 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 1: don't love his low volume, but this matchup is tantalizing.

1078
00:58:20,160 --> 00:58:22,880
Speaker 1: He has a healthy five catches in this game two

1079
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,720
Speaker 1: weeks ago, and in recent weeks, Houston has yielded good

1080
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:29,040
Speaker 1: fantasy games to second tier receivers like Darnell Mooney and

1081
00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 1: Mohammed Sanu and Demere Bird. If those guys can do it,

1082
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman's in play here as well. Houston's allowed the

1083
00:58:34,680 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 1: second most touchdowns to wide receivers I like Pittman with

1084
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:40,240
Speaker 1: a coin flips chance for a touchdown. Here all the

1085
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 1: tight ends cannibalize each other. They're all on the bench.

1086
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Jonathan Taylor, who has finally turned into

1087
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 1: the bell cow back we wanted him to be, averaging

1088
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:51,600
Speaker 1: nineteen carries over his past three games. He rocked the

1089
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 1: Texans for a buck thirty five. Two weeks ago, Texans

1090
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:58,920
Speaker 1: allowed the most fantasy points to running backs, and Taylor

1091
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 1: is and a grade. Let's feel awfully good about his prospects.

1092
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 1: I feel about nine Heinz nime Heinz. Wait is this

1093
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:13,360
Speaker 1: nime Heinz? I've got a bench grade on him? But

1094
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 1: he does have He does get the ball enough and

1095
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 1: in a PPR format, he does catch enough that I

1096
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 1: think he is serviceable in this game. He's a kind

1097
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 1: of an extra take a chance on me guy in

1098
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 1: my opinion. With that matchup, you know what you're right.

1099
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 1: Let's give him a solid Sea Grede in this one. Um,

1100
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:32,920
Speaker 1: when we come back the Philadelphia Eagles at the Arizona Cardinals,

1101
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:36,080
Speaker 1: what to do about Jalen Hurts? Are we chasing last

1102
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 1: week's rushing production? Find out when we come back to

1103
00:59:39,080 --> 01:00:07,720
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Scott Fish

1104
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 1: and Matt Harrison with you. Matt. What can people find

1105
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 1: it Shock Fantasy dot Com? Oh, lots of stuff we're

1106
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:17,680
Speaker 1: doing the podcast, still doing a lot of mail bag

1107
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:20,440
Speaker 1: stuff to help set some lineups. And also we got

1108
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 1: the new trade value chart out and we're gonna have uh,

1109
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:26,480
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl prop bat game is going to be

1110
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:30,240
Speaker 1: exclusive to Shock Fantasy this year, so we'll be selling

1111
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 1: that there. Uh. Philadelphia Eagles are selling hope that they've

1112
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 1: turned around their franchise with a new quarterback. Jalen Hurts.

1113
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:42,520
Speaker 1: Eighteen carries last week, over one hundred rushing yards. Now

1114
01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 1: he goes up against Arizona. I think I've gotten more

1115
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 1: questions about Jalen Hurts than any other player this week. Yeah,

1116
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 1: hundred and six rushing yards last week, but only one

1117
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 1: sixty seven in the passing game. He only dropped back

1118
01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 1: to pass thirty times in that game, and the Eagles

1119
01:00:57,160 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 1: ran the ball thirty six times. That doesn't bode well

1120
01:00:59,720 --> 01:01:03,040
Speaker 1: for a quarterback normally. Um, so I'm only giving him

1121
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:06,280
Speaker 1: a C grade here. I'm not looking heavily into the

1122
01:01:06,360 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 1: passing option. I think that's just gravy. So what about

1123
01:01:09,200 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 1: the running the Cardinals his opponent had a stretch of

1124
01:01:13,280 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 1: five games in a row where they allowed thirty five

1125
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 1: or more rushing yards to every quarterback they faced, and

1126
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 1: that stretch just ended two weeks ago. So he's going

1127
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:26,120
Speaker 1: to get about sixty yards on the ground. I'd say

1128
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:29,960
Speaker 1: maybe two yards through the air for Lucky, but the

1129
01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:32,400
Speaker 1: eight ball won't tell me anymore. So he's only a

1130
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 1: C grade, Miles Sanders. I'm giving a b uh the ball.

1131
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:38,640
Speaker 1: The eight ball will tell me that the Cards have

1132
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 1: allowed six rushing touchdowns in the last four weeks. Did

1133
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:44,960
Speaker 1: that fit on the little the little eight ball thing? Mean?

1134
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:46,720
Speaker 1: That's that's a lot of data to fit on that

1135
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 1: little triangle. I gotta custom magic eight ball. It's really

1136
01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 1: thank you, yes, um, Miles Sanders benefited greatly from having

1137
01:01:56,560 --> 01:01:59,600
Speaker 1: a mobile quarterback with eighteen touches and thirty six yards

1138
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 1: and two wars last week he was back. The only

1139
01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 1: other Eagles that I think that you can consider starting

1140
01:02:05,560 --> 01:02:08,960
Speaker 1: are Dallas Goddard and Zach Ertz, who I'm both giving

1141
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:13,160
Speaker 1: really low level C grades. Two Hurts is generating very

1142
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:17,040
Speaker 1: low depth of target on his throws, which brings into

1143
01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:19,880
Speaker 1: play the tight ends. I think Goddard is a little

1144
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:22,760
Speaker 1: bit better in this matchup. He's seen eight targets from

1145
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 1: Hurts in his game and a half as opposed to Arts,

1146
01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:28,800
Speaker 1: who's only seen five. The Eagles ran two tight ends

1147
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:31,560
Speaker 1: sets copiously last week against the Saints, meaning both of

1148
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:35,000
Speaker 1: them will be on the field or more of the snaps,

1149
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:37,560
Speaker 1: you know, and that this brings up start, energy, brings

1150
01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:41,000
Speaker 1: up They're missing their two best offensive line Lane Johnson

1151
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 1: and Jason Peters are out and that's the problem. I

1152
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:44,840
Speaker 1: think that they're going to be stuck in blocking a

1153
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 1: lot of the time too. So either way, the Cards

1154
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 1: have been very solid against tight ends this year as

1155
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:52,960
Speaker 1: opposed to last year. They only allowed three touchdowns on

1156
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 1: the season and no tight end his top to fifty

1157
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 1: three yards all year. On the other side, Kyler Murray,

1158
01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:01,280
Speaker 1: I'm giving him an a aid. Do you know which

1159
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:05,120
Speaker 1: team has allowed the most quarterback rushing yards this season? Well,

1160
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:08,160
Speaker 1: it might be the Philadelphia Eagles, it sure is. After

1161
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:11,080
Speaker 1: three weeks of struggling through an injury and exactly five

1162
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 1: carries in each game, Kyler seemed spry and with it

1163
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 1: and ready last week had thirteen carries again. I like

1164
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 1: his chances of outdueling Hurts in the run game, and

1165
01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 1: his pass game is better and more refined than Hurts

1166
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:26,000
Speaker 1: is uh. DeAndre Hopkins getting an A grade two. The

1167
01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:28,919
Speaker 1: Eagles have just been torched by big number one wide

1168
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:32,560
Speaker 1: receivers DK and DeVante each had huge days in just

1169
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 1: the last three weeks. Christian Kirk was you to take

1170
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:37,919
Speaker 1: a chance on me wide receiver chart. I'm even gonna

1171
01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:41,120
Speaker 1: throw a little love at Brian's boy, Dan Arnold. I

1172
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:44,000
Speaker 1: know how about this. He's become fantasy relevant if you

1173
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:47,840
Speaker 1: need a home run hitter of a tight end and

1174
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 1: you're banking only on touchdowns for this. Dan Arnold has

1175
01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 1: scored four times in his last four games, and Philly

1176
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:57,000
Speaker 1: has allowed eight tight end touchdowns on the year, so

1177
01:03:57,040 --> 01:03:59,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna need Arnold to get to But if you

1178
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:03,120
Speaker 1: need a home run dan Arnold C grade. Finally, Kenyan Drake,

1179
01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 1: he gets a B. Drake has control of the backfield again,

1180
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 1: even more since Chase Edmonds dinged up his ankle last

1181
01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 1: week and might not go this week. The Eagles have

1182
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:14,680
Speaker 1: been a bottom ten run defense over the last month,

1183
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:17,480
Speaker 1: so the matchup is kind of ripe here for Kenyan

1184
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 1: Drake and his twenty touches. Jacksonville takes on Baltimore. We

1185
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:23,880
Speaker 1: begin with James Robinson, who has proven himself to be

1186
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 1: matchup proof. The last four Fantasy relevant backs the Ravens

1187
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:30,720
Speaker 1: have faced have average five yards per carry. There we

1188
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:34,800
Speaker 1: go Robinson's average nearly five grabs per game in minshow's

1189
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:36,920
Speaker 1: last five starts. He's gonna chip in some air production

1190
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:39,080
Speaker 1: as well. I don't see an explosive game coming, but

1191
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 1: a good game for James Robinson with a B grade

1192
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:44,720
Speaker 1: every other Jaguars on the bench the entire passing game.

1193
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 1: Baltimore isn't impenetrable against the past, but third tier passers

1194
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 1: almost always struggle against them, and the receivers in particular

1195
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:55,680
Speaker 1: dead here. Baltimore is allowed the second fewest touchdowns to whiteouts.

1196
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 1: DJ Chark's got a bad matchup with Jimmy Smith. The

1197
01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:02,120
Speaker 1: Ravens get ding by tight ends a little, but nobody's

1198
01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:04,760
Speaker 1: playing Tyler Eiffort in the semifinals. Let's go over to

1199
01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:07,360
Speaker 1: the Baltimore side, where things are a lot more interesting.

1200
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 1: Um and one of the really big storylines to watch

1201
01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:14,600
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. Maybe without both starting wide receivers because they're

1202
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:18,800
Speaker 1: on the COVID list. Offsetting that the Jaguars will be

1203
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:22,640
Speaker 1: down all three starting cornerbacks and possibly two depth corners

1204
01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:25,880
Speaker 1: as well. They might be missing five cornerbacks in this game.

1205
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:31,200
Speaker 1: This is probably the NFL's worst secondary the Jaguars now

1206
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 1: opposite that, the Ravens through the fewest passes for the

1207
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:37,960
Speaker 1: second fewest yards, so this thing could go a lot

1208
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 1: of different directions through the air. The only thing that

1209
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 1: can take Lamar Jackson down in this game is meta

1210
01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 1: musil very welcome. Jackson usually provides very little through the air,

1211
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:51,960
Speaker 1: as you already know. Um Still, there's an opportunity here

1212
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 1: for him to do some real damage. And wouldn't that

1213
01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:57,240
Speaker 1: be handy if he had both the rare this year

1214
01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:01,320
Speaker 1: explosive game on the ground owned and through the air

1215
01:06:02,160 --> 01:06:08,760
Speaker 1: and in his pants? Sorry, Mark Lamar, I apologize. Mostly

1216
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:11,080
Speaker 1: you're in it for Jackson's running the top fifty rushing

1217
01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:12,840
Speaker 1: yards in sixth straight games, which gives him a safe

1218
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:15,400
Speaker 1: floor in a massive upside. If Marks Brown is able

1219
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 1: to go, then he's a B grade here. He's finds

1220
01:06:18,480 --> 01:06:21,200
Speaker 1: himself in the midst of an improbable three games scoring streak,

1221
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:23,760
Speaker 1: which he never does and this matchups about as positive

1222
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:26,080
Speaker 1: one as he'll see all year long for the reasons

1223
01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:31,400
Speaker 1: already discussed, And and if Brown and boy Can are

1224
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:34,920
Speaker 1: both out, you could even dart throw to Devin DuVernay

1225
01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:38,960
Speaker 1: or Dez Bryant in this matchup. It's that positive both

1226
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:42,760
Speaker 1: of those guys, and in daily formats they're kind of compelling.

1227
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:45,800
Speaker 1: If Boykin and Brown are out, let's talk about the

1228
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:48,080
Speaker 1: running backs. No, wait, one more receiver to get to

1229
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:51,080
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews. The tight end A grade for Mark Andrews.

1230
01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 1: Jaguars are allowing the most yards per reception to tight ends,

1231
01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:57,280
Speaker 1: which is great news for Andrews, who came to life

1232
01:06:57,320 --> 01:07:00,520
Speaker 1: with chunk plays last week. Jackson will also allowing ten

1233
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:04,400
Speaker 1: touchdowns to tight ends, that second most. Now, Andrews hasn't

1234
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:06,720
Speaker 1: been the scoring machine he was last season, but he

1235
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:09,200
Speaker 1: still sees twenty percent of his team's targets in the

1236
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:12,280
Speaker 1: red zone. That's the ninth highest clip among all players

1237
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:14,800
Speaker 1: in the league. So tight end potential is there for

1238
01:07:14,880 --> 01:07:16,880
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews. A grade for him. Now, let's get to

1239
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:20,440
Speaker 1: the running backs and J. K. Dobbins, who is now

1240
01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:23,439
Speaker 1: seeing double digit carries in five of the last six

1241
01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:25,400
Speaker 1: games and I think that he will continue to get

1242
01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:28,000
Speaker 1: a lot of work, especially with the Ravens likely getting

1243
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:30,320
Speaker 1: out to a big lead here, and if the Ravens

1244
01:07:30,400 --> 01:07:33,120
Speaker 1: whiteouts missed this game, all the more work for j K. Dobbins.

1245
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:35,960
Speaker 1: He has scored in three straight games. He faces a

1246
01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:39,480
Speaker 1: bad Jacksonville defense that's allowed the fourth most fantasy points

1247
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 1: and second most touchdowns to running backs. Now where it

1248
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 1: gets a little bit sticky, is Lamar Jackson runs in

1249
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:48,400
Speaker 1: a bunch of touchdowns and Gus Edwards gets the red

1250
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 1: zone carries, So Dabbin still has some downside in an

1251
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:56,400
Speaker 1: otherwise favorable matchup. Let's talk about Gus Edwards. You don't

1252
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:59,439
Speaker 1: like Gus got two red zone carries and scored on both.

1253
01:08:00,080 --> 01:08:03,600
Speaker 1: Jake has seven in the last two weeks, so Jak

1254
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:06,280
Speaker 1: does get it too. I like Gus Edwards here for

1255
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:07,920
Speaker 1: the red zone carries and the fact that he's a

1256
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:10,000
Speaker 1: finisher in the end zone. Jaguars all all the seventh

1257
01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:13,360
Speaker 1: most rushing touchdowns and touchdowns in four straight games to

1258
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:17,120
Speaker 1: running backs in tight end in touchdown heavy leagues. He

1259
01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:20,240
Speaker 1: is a viable dart throw with a C grade in

1260
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:23,719
Speaker 1: that game. UM, let's work in one more matchup, Kansas

1261
01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 1: City taking on the New Orleans Saints. Scott for Kansas City,

1262
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:31,040
Speaker 1: this is one of the toughest matchups and maybe the

1263
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:34,560
Speaker 1: toughest matchup of their season. You can't bench any of

1264
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:38,160
Speaker 1: the studs, but Mahomes, Kelsey, Hill, You're not mentioned, but

1265
01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:43,879
Speaker 1: they all have mortal play potentially in them this week. Yeah, Mahomes,

1266
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 1: Like when Mahomes throws for three and two, we don't

1267
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 1: even beat and eye, that's his mortal play. At this point,

1268
01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:52,720
Speaker 1: I I I still have a grades on all of them.

1269
01:08:53,479 --> 01:08:56,479
Speaker 1: It's it's it's it's the rest of the staff that

1270
01:08:56,560 --> 01:09:00,280
Speaker 1: I think, is uh really tough for really to gonna

1271
01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:03,400
Speaker 1: be a really tough matchup. Watkins and Hardman, both of

1272
01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:06,200
Speaker 1: them on the bench. There's been room for a third receiver,

1273
01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:09,200
Speaker 1: and of course Hill and Kelsey the first two to

1274
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:11,920
Speaker 1: have a good game against the Saints. That happened in

1275
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:14,360
Speaker 1: the Saints, in the Bears game, the Panthers game, the

1276
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:17,680
Speaker 1: Falcons game. What are those teams haven't coming no tight ends,

1277
01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:20,080
Speaker 1: They don't really have tight ends doing anything, alright, So

1278
01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 1: this one has Kelsey at tight end. So the third

1279
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:25,920
Speaker 1: receivers and I don't have anything for the third receiver

1280
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:29,040
Speaker 1: in this one. Nothing for Watkins or Hardman. Onto the

1281
01:09:29,120 --> 01:09:33,560
Speaker 1: running game. Clyde Edwards E Lair Levan Bell tweeted he

1282
01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:35,519
Speaker 1: was confused this week. I'm not sure if that was

1283
01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:38,320
Speaker 1: because Clyde had twenty one touches or if he had

1284
01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:40,719
Speaker 1: finally listened to his own rap album and just wasn't

1285
01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:43,000
Speaker 1: wasn't sure what was going on there, what he was

1286
01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:46,519
Speaker 1: thinking when he made that thing. The Saints has actually

1287
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:50,960
Speaker 1: held down some held down Sanders last week a lot

1288
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:53,639
Speaker 1: better than his stat line shows. Due to that eighty

1289
01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:56,200
Speaker 1: two yard touchdown. The rest of his carriers went thirteen

1290
01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:59,240
Speaker 1: for thirty three. I hate doing that. I hate doing that,

1291
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:02,599
Speaker 1: but I do that because c H isn't the kind

1292
01:10:02,640 --> 01:10:05,439
Speaker 1: of back to break those eight yard runs. He's not

1293
01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:08,280
Speaker 1: the type of back to have those and and several

1294
01:10:08,600 --> 01:10:11,000
Speaker 1: running backs recently have been that way against the Saints.

1295
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:13,920
Speaker 1: No running back his top fifty rushing yards against them

1296
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:17,120
Speaker 1: since Week eight. Yeah, and that's that's where c H

1297
01:10:17,200 --> 01:10:19,639
Speaker 1: gets it. Only one back had more than thirty receiving

1298
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:23,560
Speaker 1: yards I give. I want to give him a BE,

1299
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:25,080
Speaker 1: but I think I'm only going to give him a C.

1300
01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:27,720
Speaker 1: I think he'll get the fifteen plus touches, but the

1301
01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:31,240
Speaker 1: low yardage from all the running backs recently except for Sanders,

1302
01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:33,920
Speaker 1: and mostly due to that big run I'm giving I'm

1303
01:10:33,960 --> 01:10:36,360
Speaker 1: giving Clyde a C. I think it's a strong seed,

1304
01:10:36,400 --> 01:10:39,240
Speaker 1: but I'm giving him a C. On the other side,

1305
01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:43,799
Speaker 1: Drew Brees is back, but Michael Thomas is out. Casey

1306
01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:47,120
Speaker 1: has allowed multiple touchdowns in five straight. Breese had multiple

1307
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:49,960
Speaker 1: touchdowns in all but one of his fall games. Uh

1308
01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:51,640
Speaker 1: and in that one he had three and twelve and

1309
01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:54,160
Speaker 1: a score. This is before the injury, though, He's gonna

1310
01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 1: be playing maybe with some sore NOAs maybe with maybe

1311
01:10:57,080 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 1: with a vest on those ribs. They say he's fully healthy. Yeah,

1312
01:11:00,320 --> 01:11:02,519
Speaker 1: Now many of those games are also without practically all

1313
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:05,439
Speaker 1: of them without Michael Thomas as well. He's you know,

1314
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:08,680
Speaker 1: so he's fully acclimated to game plans without Michael Thomas's

1315
01:11:08,680 --> 01:11:10,600
Speaker 1: just put Taysom Hilla in a wide receiver now and

1316
01:11:11,240 --> 01:11:14,880
Speaker 1: they might they you know, there's the opportunity to do that.

1317
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:17,799
Speaker 1: I think you have to build in with Drew Brees,

1318
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:21,360
Speaker 1: the threat that he gets knocked out of this game.

1319
01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:24,240
Speaker 1: Now he's gonna be He's gonna be loaded with pain killer, right,

1320
01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:28,800
Speaker 1: but this is a very good Chiefs defensive line. And

1321
01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:32,160
Speaker 1: you know, it's one thing to be able to practice

1322
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:36,080
Speaker 1: pain free, it's another one to have, you know, a gigantic,

1323
01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:38,720
Speaker 1: three enter pound lineman spear you in the ribs. You

1324
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:40,800
Speaker 1: know there are only a few places you can hit

1325
01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:43,960
Speaker 1: a quarterback. The ribs is one of them. This is

1326
01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:47,320
Speaker 1: I think you have to build in the prospect that

1327
01:11:47,479 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 1: Drew Brees ends up not finishing the game. Yeah that's uh,

1328
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:54,680
Speaker 1: I guess so, I I don't. I don't think he's

1329
01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:57,080
Speaker 1: gonna leave the game, but I I guess you can

1330
01:11:57,600 --> 01:11:59,400
Speaker 1: maybe should I drop him from a B two SC?

1331
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:02,400
Speaker 1: Is that way you're saying, just based on see, I

1332
01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:05,400
Speaker 1: would okay, alright, alright, sounds good. It's your call, but

1333
01:12:05,479 --> 01:12:07,759
Speaker 1: that's what I would do. I gave Smith and Sanders

1334
01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:11,640
Speaker 1: both CE grades. In the last three games without Michael Thomas, uh,

1335
01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:14,799
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders had fifty plus yards and or a touchdown,

1336
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:18,240
Speaker 1: which is sea level and tre Kwon Smith was starting

1337
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:20,280
Speaker 1: to break out with Drew Brees before he went down.

1338
01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:22,599
Speaker 1: He had a couple eight yard games, couple score games,

1339
01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:24,760
Speaker 1: and Drew Brees had talked about this is gonna be

1340
01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:27,240
Speaker 1: a breakout season for and then he got hurt. You're

1341
01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:30,519
Speaker 1: so nautical today, Scott. You just said sea level. This

1342
01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:34,600
Speaker 1: is great. Jared Cook was might take a chance on

1343
01:12:34,720 --> 01:12:36,840
Speaker 1: me player. I think tight ends have been crushing them

1344
01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:40,160
Speaker 1: for four weeks. Here's where I love it. I love Alvin.

1345
01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:45,760
Speaker 1: That that's true. Yes, yes, very aquatic over here. I

1346
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:48,080
Speaker 1: actually don't have Gilts. Why didn't you name one of

1347
01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:52,439
Speaker 1: your kids gil Nobody names that kids kill anymore. That's right.

1348
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:54,360
Speaker 1: It was a thing in the like sixties. I think

1349
01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:58,200
Speaker 1: Gilbert the Gilbert is not that's not a winner. It's

1350
01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:01,280
Speaker 1: not popular. Alvin Kamar came back into the receiving game

1351
01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:04,560
Speaker 1: last week with seven receptions. Uh, it was something he

1352
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:06,599
Speaker 1: was missing when Taysom Hill was out. He gets when

1353
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:09,360
Speaker 1: Drew Brees is in, and with Michael Thomas out, he's

1354
01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:11,240
Speaker 1: only going to see more work. I have an a

1355
01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:14,320
Speaker 1: grade on Alvin Kamorrow. Murray went back to the bench.

1356
01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:19,840
Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah, that's right. I think you're right about that. Yeah.

1357
01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:22,640
Speaker 1: When we come back final set of matchups, including the

1358
01:13:22,720 --> 01:13:26,160
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns and the New York Giants. We already talked

1359
01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:28,120
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier about some elements of the passing

1360
01:13:28,200 --> 01:13:31,639
Speaker 1: game for the Browns, but trick the giants improved defense

1361
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:34,880
Speaker 1: make for a tricky matchup even for guys like Nick

1362
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:37,760
Speaker 1: Chubb and Kareem Hunt. Will tell you what kind of

1363
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:41,080
Speaker 1: grades they get when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly.

1364
01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:13,000
Speaker 1: Final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly, Paul Charchs got Fish

1365
01:14:13,080 --> 01:14:15,280
Speaker 1: and Matt Harrison with you. Thank you for joining us.

1374
01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:43,639
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns take on the New York Giants. You've already

1375
01:14:43,680 --> 01:14:46,360
Speaker 1: talked a bit about the passing game earlier in the show,

1376
01:14:46,400 --> 01:14:48,000
Speaker 1: and I take a chance on me segment. I know

1377
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:50,599
Speaker 1: there's some guys who like here let's talk. Let's start

1378
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:52,639
Speaker 1: with the runners, because I think this is a more

1379
01:14:52,760 --> 01:14:55,559
Speaker 1: interesting matchup. Nick Chubb is obviously awesome. I know you're

1380
01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:59,120
Speaker 1: gonna start him, but this is not a trivial matchup. Yeah,

1381
01:14:59,160 --> 01:15:01,479
Speaker 1: I'm still giving Ubin a grade in this one. The

1382
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:05,360
Speaker 1: Giants have given up good but not great fantasy days

1383
01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:08,040
Speaker 1: to every team they faced in the last five weeks

1384
01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:11,799
Speaker 1: except for the Bengals, who don't actually have a running

1385
01:15:11,800 --> 01:15:15,559
Speaker 1: back right now. Since returning from injury, Chubb has had

1386
01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:18,960
Speaker 1: either yards or a touchdown in every game, and he's

1387
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:21,599
Speaker 1: scored in four of those five. So I think Chub

1388
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:24,360
Speaker 1: is an obvious A. He's fresh and healthy right now.

1389
01:15:25,120 --> 01:15:27,479
Speaker 1: Really like him. Kareem Hunt. I'm even given a B

1390
01:15:27,720 --> 01:15:30,640
Speaker 1: two in this one. Hunts touched totals concerned me a

1391
01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:33,080
Speaker 1: little bit, but he did score twice last week on

1392
01:15:33,200 --> 01:15:36,840
Speaker 1: only twelve touches. That's not enough touches for me to

1393
01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:39,560
Speaker 1: feel really comfortable going more than a B. But the

1394
01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:43,560
Speaker 1: good thing is the Giants are bottom four in receptions,

1395
01:15:43,960 --> 01:15:48,360
Speaker 1: receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns allowed to the running back position.

1396
01:15:48,720 --> 01:15:52,479
Speaker 1: That plays into Kareem Hunt's favor. Yes, Baker Mayfield was

1397
01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:54,960
Speaker 1: might take a chance on the quarterback, and Richard Higgins

1398
01:15:55,040 --> 01:15:57,719
Speaker 1: was might take a chance on me wide receiver Jarvis Landry.

1399
01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:00,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give a B grade two as well. This

1400
01:16:00,560 --> 01:16:03,200
Speaker 1: was the Landry we expected at the beginning of the year,

1401
01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:06,160
Speaker 1: the Landry we've seen in the last three weeks, averaging

1402
01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:09,320
Speaker 1: ten targets per game, averaging seven receptions per game over

1403
01:16:09,400 --> 01:16:11,880
Speaker 1: the last three The Giants have given up a handful

1404
01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:15,000
Speaker 1: of really good games to slot receivers this season, and

1405
01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:18,519
Speaker 1: Landry really is Baker's guy. Right now, Let's go to

1406
01:16:18,720 --> 01:16:22,320
Speaker 1: the Giants side, where it's very notable that among the

1407
01:16:22,439 --> 01:16:26,799
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen cancelations for the Giants this week, Jason Garrett

1408
01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:30,240
Speaker 1: tested positive for COVID. Yes, so he will be calling

1409
01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:33,160
Speaker 1: plays for the Giants this week. But do you know

1410
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:36,040
Speaker 1: who will Yes, I do last year's head coach of

1411
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:39,840
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns, Freddie Kitchens. It's a revenge game for

1412
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:43,400
Speaker 1: Freddie Kitchens. So it's time to fire up all those Giants,

1413
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:48,679
Speaker 1: right well, revenge game for Cult McCoy is, yes, former

1414
01:16:48,760 --> 01:16:51,479
Speaker 1: Brown Cult McCoy, who may get the start in this one,

1415
01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:55,040
Speaker 1: or injured Daniel Jones, who's nursing an ankle and a

1416
01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:58,240
Speaker 1: hamstring injury and has been limited in practice all week.

1417
01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:02,920
Speaker 1: Jones was just hobbling and kind of warm garbage last

1418
01:17:02,960 --> 01:17:06,400
Speaker 1: week against the Cards, and the Giants got blown out

1419
01:17:06,439 --> 01:17:08,880
Speaker 1: of that game and they lost their NFC East lead.

1420
01:17:08,920 --> 01:17:12,080
Speaker 1: The Browns have been pretty good against quarterbacks, and they

1421
01:17:12,160 --> 01:17:15,040
Speaker 1: did get top corner Denzel Ward back this week, so

1422
01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:17,360
Speaker 1: you're not going to start a Giant's quarterback in your

1423
01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:20,679
Speaker 1: fantasy semifinals. The two guys that you might be interested

1424
01:17:20,720 --> 01:17:23,360
Speaker 1: in starting on the Giants. Number one is Evan Engram,

1425
01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:26,960
Speaker 1: who I'm giving a B grade to. Ingram actually had

1426
01:17:27,080 --> 01:17:29,760
Speaker 1: his best game of the season with Colt McCoy under center,

1427
01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:31,960
Speaker 1: so we're kind of cheering for Colt McCoy to get

1428
01:17:32,040 --> 01:17:35,560
Speaker 1: this nod here. The Browns are bottom six in receptions,

1429
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:38,640
Speaker 1: yards and touchdowns allowed to the tight end position, so

1430
01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:41,200
Speaker 1: Evan Ingram's kind of a sneaky play here. And then

1431
01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:43,800
Speaker 1: Wayne Gallman, I'm giving him a C grade in this one.

1432
01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:47,200
Speaker 1: He's averaging about eighteen touches per game since solidifying the job.

1433
01:17:47,920 --> 01:17:50,479
Speaker 1: But Cleveland has been good against the run until they

1434
01:17:51,360 --> 01:17:54,960
Speaker 1: face the Ravens last week. Allowing five running back touchdowns

1435
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:57,439
Speaker 1: over the last three weeks. That's not good, but they

1436
01:17:57,520 --> 01:18:00,479
Speaker 1: only allowed seven in the prior ten games, so I'm

1437
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:03,040
Speaker 1: only gonna give Wayne Gallman to see, but he's probably

1438
01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 1: their best chance at keeping it close. Yes, I do

1439
01:18:06,160 --> 01:18:08,680
Speaker 1: worry a little bit there. Giants might fall behind by

1440
01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:11,000
Speaker 1: a lot and they might have to abandon ship on

1441
01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:13,720
Speaker 1: the running game altogether. I worry about that a bit.

1442
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:18,280
Speaker 1: All right, Let's go to our final matchup, Steelers taking

1443
01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:23,280
Speaker 1: on the Cincinnati Bengals. We begin with the moribund running

1444
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:26,800
Speaker 1: game of the Steelers. James James Conner likely doesn't play

1445
01:18:26,840 --> 01:18:28,800
Speaker 1: with his quad injury, and even if he does, he's

1446
01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:31,960
Speaker 1: been brutal. Get this, Over the last three weeks, the

1447
01:18:32,120 --> 01:18:36,760
Speaker 1: Steelers are averaging forty five rushing yards per game as

1448
01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:39,240
Speaker 1: a team. You know hard it is to do that

1449
01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:41,120
Speaker 1: for three weeks. I think one of those games he

1450
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:45,960
Speaker 1: had UN's unbelievable. Roethlisberger should start chipping in. Huh, he might.

1451
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:48,840
Speaker 1: He might have to. Steelers on the season ranked thirty

1452
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:52,800
Speaker 1: feet in rushing yards per game. It's been a disaster here.

1453
01:18:52,840 --> 01:18:57,000
Speaker 1: Benny Snell horrible. Anthony McFarland has been equally bad, and

1454
01:18:57,080 --> 01:18:59,720
Speaker 1: he gets less used. There's no plays here among the

1455
01:19:00,080 --> 01:19:03,519
Speaker 1: Ler's runners, and they are all on the bench. Let's

1456
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:05,600
Speaker 1: go to the passing game, where Ben Roethlisberger gets a

1457
01:19:05,720 --> 01:19:08,320
Speaker 1: B grade. But let's talk about his game a bit,

1458
01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:11,880
Speaker 1: because it's it's changed a lot. He has turned into

1459
01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:18,200
Speaker 1: a dink and dunk passer. Only Alex Smith throws shorter

1460
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:23,320
Speaker 1: passes than Ben Roethlisberger at three point eight yards per completion.

1461
01:19:23,840 --> 01:19:26,720
Speaker 1: Three point eight yards is like me to Matt right

1462
01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:29,920
Speaker 1: now is about to have a hundred catch nine yards seasons,

1463
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:33,479
Speaker 1: and yet somehow his receivers have dropped twenty seven passes.

1464
01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:35,920
Speaker 1: How do you do that from three point eight yards away?

1465
01:19:36,600 --> 01:19:39,439
Speaker 1: Can you fall forward for three point eight yards? Yes,

1466
01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:43,320
Speaker 1: you can't. A matter of fact, maneu Bull Now Roethlisberger

1467
01:19:43,360 --> 01:19:46,680
Speaker 1: eviscerated the Bengals for three hundred thirty three yards and

1468
01:19:46,760 --> 01:19:48,920
Speaker 1: four touchdowns in the Week ten meeting. That wasn't that

1469
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:52,400
Speaker 1: long ago. The Bigel's past defense looks improved since then,

1470
01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:57,439
Speaker 1: but they've faced Daniel Jones to a Tonga Via looa

1471
01:19:57,760 --> 01:20:01,519
Speaker 1: Alex Smith and Andy Dalton, and those are not great passers.

1472
01:20:01,560 --> 01:20:04,559
Speaker 1: And I'm not convinced the Cincinnati secondary is really any

1473
01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:07,599
Speaker 1: better than the version Ben took apart five games ago.

1474
01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:10,280
Speaker 1: So again, it be great on Ben. Let talk about

1475
01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:13,680
Speaker 1: his receivers. Chase Claypool's yardage has declined in each of

1476
01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:17,439
Speaker 1: four games, and he has currently is currently in the

1477
01:20:17,439 --> 01:20:19,200
Speaker 1: middle of the three game scoreless streak. Where he was

1478
01:20:19,280 --> 01:20:24,479
Speaker 1: really very helpful was the touchdowns earlier. Fortunately, outside cornerback

1479
01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:27,720
Speaker 1: Lashawn Simms offers Claypool a get right matchup, as he's

1480
01:20:27,720 --> 01:20:30,599
Speaker 1: allowing scores, has allowed scores and back to back games,

1481
01:20:30,960 --> 01:20:33,920
Speaker 1: and yields a massive eight percent catch rate in his

1482
01:20:34,080 --> 01:20:38,200
Speaker 1: coverage and a passer rating of one hundred thirty eight.

1483
01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:42,919
Speaker 1: That's approaching perfection. Let's go Claypool. I love Chase Claypool

1484
01:20:42,920 --> 01:20:44,920
Speaker 1: in this matchup. Not a grade, but I like him

1485
01:20:45,040 --> 01:20:47,080
Speaker 1: to be grade. I also have a B grade in

1486
01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:50,799
Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster, particularly in PPR leagues. Juju has garnered

1487
01:20:50,880 --> 01:20:57,400
Speaker 1: nine targets per game in his last five while notching

1488
01:20:57,520 --> 01:21:01,639
Speaker 1: three scores in that span. He put together a nine catch,

1489
01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:06,200
Speaker 1: seventy seven yard one touchdown game against Cincinnati four weeks ago,

1490
01:21:06,360 --> 01:21:09,479
Speaker 1: and should farewell against Mackenzie Alexander in the slot. He's

1491
01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:13,840
Speaker 1: giving up a sev catch rate in his coverage. Here's

1492
01:21:13,880 --> 01:21:17,000
Speaker 1: the trickiest Steeler by a mile. What are you doing

1493
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:22,640
Speaker 1: about Deonte Johnson? You may recall last week one of

1494
01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:26,719
Speaker 1: our three tough questions was, can you trust Deonte Johnson

1495
01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:29,679
Speaker 1: knowing he could get benched if he drops a pass?

1496
01:21:30,479 --> 01:21:33,880
Speaker 1: What happened last week? He got benched after he dropped

1497
01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:36,920
Speaker 1: a pass. So he did come back in. He did

1498
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:40,000
Speaker 1: come back in later in the game. Now, I can't

1499
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:43,719
Speaker 1: promise you that Johnson starts this game over James Washington,

1500
01:21:43,920 --> 01:21:47,759
Speaker 1: or that he finishes this game over James Washington. Washington

1501
01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:52,040
Speaker 1: has tallied seven drops. Sorry, Johnson has tallied seven drops

1502
01:21:52,040 --> 01:21:54,320
Speaker 1: in his last three games. He's averaging just fifty two

1503
01:21:54,400 --> 01:21:57,519
Speaker 1: yards per game over those last three games. That compares,

1504
01:21:58,240 --> 01:22:01,200
Speaker 1: that's half of the hundred one yards he was averaging

1505
01:22:01,280 --> 01:22:05,959
Speaker 1: the three games prior to drop Fest. He smoked Cincinnati

1506
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:08,000
Speaker 1: for a hundred sixteen yards in a score in Week ten.

1507
01:22:08,439 --> 01:22:11,320
Speaker 1: I think he is as as big a high risk,

1508
01:22:11,560 --> 01:22:16,240
Speaker 1: high reward player as anybody in this week, outside of

1509
01:22:16,280 --> 01:22:18,200
Speaker 1: maybe Russell Wilson, who I think is a super high

1510
01:22:18,280 --> 01:22:21,479
Speaker 1: risk high reward player as well. Would you guys start

1511
01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:27,679
Speaker 1: Deonte Johnson in a typically sized league in a semifinal game, Yep,

1512
01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 1: I still think I would. I still think I would.

1513
01:22:31,439 --> 01:22:33,680
Speaker 1: You just like him that much? Yeah, I think it

1514
01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:35,400
Speaker 1: really depends on who else I got on my team,

1515
01:22:35,439 --> 01:22:37,560
Speaker 1: but it's you know, it's close, like I mean it

1516
01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:42,680
Speaker 1: like a Russell Gauge type guy. I'm just kidding. Well, no,

1517
01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:45,040
Speaker 1: what if it's not a Russell Gauge type guy. And

1518
01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:47,800
Speaker 1: sometimes it's not a Russell Gauge type guy. Yeah, that's

1519
01:22:47,960 --> 01:22:50,479
Speaker 1: that's the thing. I just I'm I'm believing that I

1520
01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:54,519
Speaker 1: probably don't have a better option than Deonta Johnsonside is high.

1521
01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:56,559
Speaker 1: Let's talk Eric Ebron for just a minute. He only

1522
01:22:56,640 --> 01:22:59,479
Speaker 1: managed thirty eight scoreless yards when these teams met again

1523
01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:01,600
Speaker 1: and keep affereneing the previous game Week ten. But the

1524
01:23:01,680 --> 01:23:05,280
Speaker 1: Bengals are horrible against tight ends. They've allowed the sixth

1525
01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:08,800
Speaker 1: most receptions, the most yards, and the eighth most touchdowns

1526
01:23:08,840 --> 01:23:12,439
Speaker 1: to the position. Eric Ebron clocks in with a B grade.

1527
01:23:12,520 --> 01:23:15,200
Speaker 1: I like him this week, uh, and I consider him

1528
01:23:15,240 --> 01:23:17,200
Speaker 1: to be startable. And you know, if you don't trust

1529
01:23:17,280 --> 01:23:19,519
Speaker 1: Deante Johnson and you've been looking around and all those

1530
01:23:19,720 --> 01:23:22,799
Speaker 1: all those extra passes have to go somewhere, potential uptick

1531
01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:26,400
Speaker 1: for Ebron is pretty good. Uh. Marcus Mariota looks like

1532
01:23:26,439 --> 01:23:28,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a starter for a while, maybe the

1533
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:32,080
Speaker 1: rest of the season. Potentially probably for the rest of

1534
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:34,360
Speaker 1: the all Right, I want to let's talk it. Let's

1535
01:23:34,400 --> 01:23:35,920
Speaker 1: talk this through for a minute. And by the way,

1536
01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:38,960
Speaker 1: I thought he looked really, really good. I was very

1537
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:41,880
Speaker 1: impressed with with the version of him that I saw. Um,

1538
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:45,519
Speaker 1: would you pick him up in a redraft league? Would

1539
01:23:45,560 --> 01:23:48,759
Speaker 1: you pick him up Scott in a dynasty or Empire format?

1540
01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:51,240
Speaker 1: We're already thinking about next year. It's got to be

1541
01:23:51,280 --> 01:23:54,720
Speaker 1: super flex if I am, because he's the type of

1542
01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:58,599
Speaker 1: guy that is going to hit the market after this year. Well,

1543
01:23:58,680 --> 01:24:03,040
Speaker 1: he's under contract most by the way, an astounding ten

1544
01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:06,559
Speaker 1: million dollars next year. Really bad. Yeah, man, for some reason,

1545
01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:10,080
Speaker 1: I was backup quarterback. So yeah. So then then he's

1546
01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:11,680
Speaker 1: not the kind of guy that sets a market and

1547
01:24:11,800 --> 01:24:16,479
Speaker 1: gets gets a job. So yeah, I don't, I don't.

1548
01:24:16,560 --> 01:24:19,919
Speaker 1: I don't know that. Well you should, you should everything.

1549
01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:23,960
Speaker 1: Then he gets a matchup with TA next week and

1550
01:24:24,200 --> 01:24:27,680
Speaker 1: it could be a matchup of running quarterbacks all over

1551
01:24:27,760 --> 01:24:34,280
Speaker 1: the field and Hawaiian quarter Hawaiian quarter. You got Oregon

1552
01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:38,840
Speaker 1: versus Oregon on Thursday night, and next week you got I.

1553
01:24:39,560 --> 01:24:42,960
Speaker 1: That is impressive. Um, I think if you're in a

1554
01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:45,519
Speaker 1: if you're in a two quarterback league. You reflex two

1555
01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:49,880
Speaker 1: quarterback league. Mariota next week is Is is a potential starter.

1556
01:24:50,040 --> 01:24:53,120
Speaker 1: But that Miami secondary has been awesome. You don't have.

1557
01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:55,960
Speaker 1: Miami defense is pretty dann good. It is pretty darn good.

1558
01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:58,360
Speaker 1: It's one of the under underrated stories of this season.

1559
01:24:58,400 --> 01:25:00,559
Speaker 1: I think charge let me ask you a question, and uh,

1560
01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:03,639
Speaker 1: Mariota famously came into the league in the same draft

1561
01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:07,000
Speaker 1: as Jamis Winston. Which of those two players from a

1562
01:25:07,120 --> 01:25:09,680
Speaker 1: dynasty perspective, people maybe trying to pick up a few

1563
01:25:09,720 --> 01:25:12,000
Speaker 1: guys here and there, which of those two guys has

1564
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:14,439
Speaker 1: a better chance of starting in the NFL next season?

1565
01:25:14,520 --> 01:25:16,880
Speaker 1: Winston because he's not under contract and he's going to

1566
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:19,200
Speaker 1: hit the free agent market and be able to, you know,

1567
01:25:19,360 --> 01:25:21,920
Speaker 1: try to secure a job that he was not able

1568
01:25:21,960 --> 01:25:24,920
Speaker 1: to get his past off season. So I think he's

1569
01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:28,439
Speaker 1: got a clearer path now. If Mary, if Mariota goes

1570
01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:31,120
Speaker 1: bonkers down the stretch here, maybe you know, who knows,

1571
01:25:31,240 --> 01:25:36,920
Speaker 1: maybe the issue maybe maybe just trying to trade him. Maybe, Uh.

1572
01:25:37,439 --> 01:25:41,080
Speaker 1: Run quarterbacks with more than five carries against the Dolphins,

1573
01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:43,960
Speaker 1: Cam Newton sudenty five yards and two scores, Kyler Murray

1574
01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:45,960
Speaker 1: a hundred and six yards in the score, a little

1575
01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:49,880
Speaker 1: preview of next like, well, let's see what Cam does

1576
01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:52,200
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins again this week. That might give us

1577
01:25:52,280 --> 01:25:56,000
Speaker 1: the perfect preview for what Mariota can do next week.

1578
01:25:56,400 --> 01:25:57,720
Speaker 1: I want to look ahead to next year with a

1579
01:25:57,760 --> 01:26:02,080
Speaker 1: couple of quick questions for you guys. Keenan Allen has

1580
01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:06,800
Speaker 1: obviously been resurgent under air bear. We have an air

1581
01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:13,599
Speaker 1: bear enough, we thay that's why. So Keenan Allen resurgent

1582
01:26:13,720 --> 01:26:18,120
Speaker 1: under air bear next year? What round do you believe

1583
01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:20,880
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen will go? And by the way, Eric the

1584
01:26:20,960 --> 01:26:23,320
Speaker 1: Enemy is gonna be the head coach because Eric can

1585
01:26:23,360 --> 01:26:25,479
Speaker 1: pick his spots, you know he can. He can go

1586
01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:28,240
Speaker 1: wherever he wants. He will go to the team with

1587
01:26:28,360 --> 01:26:31,439
Speaker 1: the awesome young quarterback because you've been crazy not to.

1588
01:26:32,080 --> 01:26:35,320
Speaker 1: That is how coaches keep jobs and have longevity is

1589
01:26:35,360 --> 01:26:37,519
Speaker 1: they hook their wagon to a great young corn. What

1590
01:26:37,600 --> 01:26:39,920
Speaker 1: you also don't do that also played for the Chargers.

1591
01:26:40,240 --> 01:26:43,240
Speaker 1: That's a great point, But you also don't want to

1592
01:26:43,280 --> 01:26:46,760
Speaker 1: go into the same division as Patrick Mahomes where you

1593
01:26:46,880 --> 01:26:49,760
Speaker 1: might never a division titles. A fair point that that

1594
01:26:49,880 --> 01:26:52,240
Speaker 1: part would be tricky. I don't know. He probably watches

1595
01:26:52,880 --> 01:26:55,680
Speaker 1: the air Bear on TV and he's like, man, I

1596
01:26:55,760 --> 01:26:58,120
Speaker 1: can do some things out there. I know. So where

1597
01:26:58,240 --> 01:27:01,200
Speaker 1: where does Keenan Allen fit in? He was the guy,

1598
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:04,640
Speaker 1: he was criminal, he was I was just like a

1599
01:27:04,760 --> 01:27:07,920
Speaker 1: sixth round pick. In August. We're like, fine, you know

1600
01:27:08,040 --> 01:27:10,720
Speaker 1: it's a fourth round. I'll just take Keenan Allen now

1601
01:27:12,160 --> 01:27:16,439
Speaker 1: second round. Yeah, I think I think he's a tail

1602
01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:18,519
Speaker 1: end of the second round, early third round kind of

1603
01:27:18,560 --> 01:27:20,960
Speaker 1: a guy. He was leading the NFL in targets and

1604
01:27:21,080 --> 01:27:24,880
Speaker 1: receptions for quite a while under air Bear. Yeah, I

1605
01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:28,839
Speaker 1: think he's definitely a second round guy. Well, people remember

1606
01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:31,000
Speaker 1: too much the end of his season, especially if he

1607
01:27:31,120 --> 01:27:34,840
Speaker 1: kind of slides out of the season injured. Yeah, people

1608
01:27:34,920 --> 01:27:37,000
Speaker 1: tend to do that when we get to a draft

1609
01:27:37,080 --> 01:27:40,400
Speaker 1: time in July in August. So that's why it's second round.

1610
01:27:40,439 --> 01:27:44,400
Speaker 1: It should be first, second corner probably probably probably should

1611
01:27:44,920 --> 01:27:48,280
Speaker 1: um one last one last topic for you guys before

1612
01:27:48,400 --> 01:27:51,320
Speaker 1: we've got a spare moment next year for the Chiefs.

1613
01:27:51,360 --> 01:27:54,080
Speaker 1: As we we mentioned the Chiefs, Sammy Watkins and not

1614
01:27:54,080 --> 01:27:55,720
Speaker 1: on our contract, and I believe he's gonna be gone,

1615
01:27:55,840 --> 01:27:57,439
Speaker 1: you know, I think they've had enough of his four

1616
01:27:57,479 --> 01:27:59,680
Speaker 1: catches and thirty yards a game that's he doesn't move

1617
01:27:59,760 --> 01:28:03,479
Speaker 1: the kne is. Next year finally the Meek Cole Hardman

1618
01:28:03,600 --> 01:28:06,040
Speaker 1: year where he finally, you know, stays on the field,

1619
01:28:06,120 --> 01:28:09,200
Speaker 1: he gets of the snaps like Watkins does, and he

1620
01:28:09,280 --> 01:28:12,000
Speaker 1: actually does something. You're three. I don't know that there's

1621
01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:16,000
Speaker 1: enough room for that third receiver to do behind Travis,

1622
01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:18,800
Speaker 1: but yeah, he's probably gonna get a little more, a

1623
01:28:18,880 --> 01:28:20,840
Speaker 1: little bit more. But I think what they should do

1624
01:28:20,880 --> 01:28:24,760
Speaker 1: is sign Watkins to a one week contracts just a

1625
01:28:24,760 --> 01:28:29,479
Speaker 1: week one, a week one contract. There's a lot of

1626
01:28:29,560 --> 01:28:32,080
Speaker 1: really interesting wide receivers who are hitting the free agent

1627
01:28:32,160 --> 01:28:34,400
Speaker 1: market next year. I would not be surprised of Kansas

1628
01:28:34,439 --> 01:28:37,200
Speaker 1: Cities in play for a guy like Chris Godwin, uh

1629
01:28:37,280 --> 01:28:45,200
Speaker 1: Fishes guy, Kenny Golladay, Smith Schuster, really really interesting guys

1630
01:28:45,240 --> 01:28:47,960
Speaker 1: who Patrick Mahomes could help light up the league. Teams

1631
01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:50,360
Speaker 1: might players might take a discount to play with Patrick

1632
01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:52,120
Speaker 1: Mahomes and we you know, go play for a winner.

1633
01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:54,479
Speaker 1: We would understand that. Thank you for listening to the
