WEBVTT - Week 15: Feel The Hurts 0:00:01.160 --> 0:00:04.880 Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio. 0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:10.440 Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio, 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:14.720 your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and 0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:23.720 advice League dot Com. Here's your host, Paul. Welcome to 0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:26.880 my playoff edition of Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul 0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:30.920 Charchi and my coast today are Scott Fish and Matt Harrison. Hello, gentlemen, 0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:35.040 Chart your sounding excited, maybe a little spooky? Playoffs? Yes? 0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:38.480 How many? How many teams do you have alive? Still? Three? 0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:41.919 That's good? I have three alive, that's good. Yeah. I've 0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:48.040 got a guillotine, a regular and a and a twentyman redraft. 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:50.920 That's good. How about you, Scott? I also got three? Uh? 0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:54.480 Is your fish Bowl team alive? Oh? Man? Mine died 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:59.000 last week. Mine died in August. It's been over for 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:01.400 a long time. On fourt inly for me and that one. 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:03.240 We've got lots to get to. Over the course of 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:05.240 the show, We're gonna break down every game fantasy style 0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:07.039 like we always do, letter grades on each of the 0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:10.920 notable players. You will hear three tough questions which we 0:01:10.959 --> 0:01:12.720 will answer and you can play along. We'll give you 0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:14.960 nine players upon whom you can take a chance. And honestly, 0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:19.040 you're still there are still players you can get off 0:01:19.040 --> 0:01:21.840 the waiver wire, even with a playoff roster that can 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:26.039 be better than your guys. The single biggest mistake you 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:30.080 can break make right now is just blindly assuming the 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:33.280 guys that got into the playoffs and Allen best guys, 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:37.240 and Allen, I had Tyrand Johnson in three leagues on Thursday, 0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:41.479 and then I dropped him right before the game about 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:43.520 right they ended up playing. I wasn't gonna waste a 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.000 spot on a player that was going to play. Go 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:49.680 look at that man the Raiders secondary? Who was that 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:53.560 bad Dolphins for Week sixteen? You have no kidding. Let's 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.040 let's let's start with our Saturday games. There are two 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:59.640 Saturday games. We've got a mid afternoon game and an 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.840 early evening game. Let's begin with the Buffalo Bills taking 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:06.160 on the Denver Broncos. And for me, this is a 0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:09.799 this is a green light start for Josh Allen. All 0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:13.760 three of Denver's starting cornerbacks are out for this game. 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:17.200 I think this is a great opportunity for Josh Allen. 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:19.720 So the guy who's got multiple touchdowns and or three 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:22.040 hundred yards and all but one game this year is 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:27.400 a green lights breaking right, thanks, I do have an 0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:31.000 A grade on him. Uh. The weird thing is Denver's 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:34.080 only allowed to passing touchdowns since Week nine, but they 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:37.280 allowed three rushing and the competition was not Josh Allen, 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:42.919 Uh not even close. In fact, um Allen I mentioned, 0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:47.119 had multiple touchdowns and or three plus yards in almost 0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.280 every game. But every game that he's attempted at least 0:02:49.280 --> 0:02:52.120 twenty five passes, he has done it. And that's a 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:54.840 fairly low bar against the team that has allowed that 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.160 in basically every single game. I have an A grade 0:02:57.160 --> 0:03:00.519 on Allen. Digs is basically unbenchable at this point. I 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:02.200 don't think I need to spend a lot of time 0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:05.480 on him. I have an A grade there. With John 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:08.720 Brown out, Gabriel Davis has scored every game John Brown 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:12.440 has been out. He just has no wide receivers top 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:17.160 seventy yards against the Broncos since Week nine. But with 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:20.720 Davis's ability to score and Beasley having ten plus targets 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:22.959 in three the last four, three of those with John 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:25.200 Brown out, I gave them both C grades. I think 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:27.320 Beasley gets a lot of targets I think Davis might 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:29.240 score again. I like him more than you do. I've 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:31.440 got high rank I got I've got B grades on 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:35.280 both guys. Alright, I'm more optimistic. Well, I do have 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:38.040 Moss and Singletary on the bench. I'm sorry charged they 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:41.200 flipped again last week. I Moss is getting more snaps, 0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:44.480 but the touches that they're not just not coming. Uh. 0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:49.040 Singletary and more touches. Moss had more touches in the 0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:52.280 Steelers game, and then Singletary had more touches last week, 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:55.920 and neither of them are barely averaging over three yards 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:58.560 per carry right now. It's really frustrated. The running back 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:00.400 you want on this team is Josh Allen. Is really 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:02.080 what it is. So I have them on the bench. 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.320 Over to the Broncos side. I do have a C 0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.280 grade on Drew Lock. The Bills have allowed multiple passing 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:11.360 touchdowns in four the last five, plus yards in three 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.040 the last five, and that's not really a recent trend. 0:04:14.320 --> 0:04:17.440 They've allowed six games over three hundred passing yards this year. 0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:25.680 They have allowed multiple touchdowns in games nine times, nine times. 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.320 Lock has been in consistent. He's been hot lately, so 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:31.640 I'm giving him a C. Grade here high lately is 0:04:31.680 --> 0:04:34.839 maybe an even and under. He just seven game of 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.360 his career last week. Yea, seven touchdowns the last two weeks, 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:40.360 and he's he's getting but you know, matchups, this is 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:43.480 a Bill's matchup. It's a little different. Uh. I do 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:46.520 have C grades on most of his receivers as well, 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:50.279 though Handler gets deep. He's got two big deep plays 0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:52.880 each game. Drew Lock has kind of a d g 0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:56.880 F attitude. He'll flow it up to him. Yeah, so, uh, 0:04:57.320 --> 0:04:59.799 with the chance that Handler gets a big play, Tim Patrick, 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:02.880 he's scoring. He's he's got six touchdowns in the last 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:05.480 seven games. He has three in the last two games, 0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:08.120 and they've thrown it to him in the end zone 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:10.440 three times in the last two games. He's just getting 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:12.520 those plays. But he can also go off for a hundred. 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:14.960 He's done that twice in the last six games. So 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:18.400 their range of outcomes really is a four for forty 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:22.000 floor based on the last few weeks, with much more upside. 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:24.160 So I have SEA grades on both of them. No, 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.000 Fan also a C grade because nearly every tight end 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.720 against the Bills to hit seven targets had a really 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:32.839 good day. We're talking sixty plus yards a bunch of catches, 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:37.080 some touchdowns, and uh Fant has done that a bunch 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:39.719 of times this year. I think that he's in for 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.960 a SEA grade. Their Bills allowing the fifth most points 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:46.640 to tight ends on the running backs. Gordon, I'm given 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:48.640 a C grade and I got Lindsay on the bench. Yeah, 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:51.080 it's been a bad for Lindsay, my guy, and I 0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:54.680 just said, really disappointing. Yeah. Really recently the Chargers for 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:57.159 in IROs and Steelers barely did anything against the Bills, 0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:59.040 but Ekeler had a good day through the air, so 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.679 did several others. Gordon has been catching about three balls 0:06:01.680 --> 0:06:05.640 a game, uh Denver and uh Gordon's also probably in 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:08.839 like for sixteen in line for sixteen plus touches, which 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:11.120 he's done a bunch of times recently. Almost every game 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:13.440 he's had a full game this year. So he's gonna 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.520 get that that really nice volume. CE I like to 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:21.719 give out the volume. See, you're not tricking anybody with 0:06:21.800 --> 0:06:25.400 the volume. CE Carolina takes on Green Bay, Matt and 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:28.279 the way you beat the Packers is on the ground 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:31.799 and to a to a certain degree, through the air 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:36.560 for running backs. So Christian McCaffrey wait, oh, not again 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:40.960 another But it's an awfully good looking one on paper. 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.800 And I didn't think Mike Davis would have a good 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:46.640 week last week against Denver and they're tough run defense 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:49.400 because Denver is a good run defense, and his numbers 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:51.719 were just trending the wrong way. But I was totally 0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:53.640 off on that one. Sult fire him up this week 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:57.080 against the pack with a B grade. Basically every team 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.560 but the Lions and Eagles have had a running back 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.320 just put up awesome numbers against the Packers this here. 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:05.400 Um moving on to the passing game Teddy Bridgewater, I'm 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:07.400 only going to give him a C grade here. In 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:12.640 his last fourteen starts, Teddy Bridgewater has two yard games 0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:19.000 and has topped two touchdown passes never He's thrown over 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:22.160 forty passing attempts only three times this year. He doesn't 0:07:22.160 --> 0:07:24.480 have enough volume to elevate his game past the C 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:27.040 grade in my opinion, and the Packers have knocked out 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:29.680 each of the last two quarterbacks they faced, either with 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:32.720 poor play or injury. Prior to that, Sad trombon Sky 0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:35.160 did rack up some nice garbage time numbers, and Philip 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:37.320 Rivers actually did pick apart this secondary, but I don't 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:40.360 see it for Bridgewater. D J. Moore is back from COVID, 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:43.080 but he just gets to see because Teddy still hasn't 0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:45.320 really focused on more this year. He's averaging only four 0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:47.640 catches per game and will probably draw more gight Ear 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:52.280 Alexander coverage than Robbie Anderson, who I'm also giving a C. 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:56.400 Curtis Samuel he gets a see. I actually prefer benching 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.120 them all, but the prospect of garbage time points is there. 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:02.680 With the Packs past defense, there's no real angle unless 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:05.560 your name is Richie James. He's the only player to 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:07.440 beat the Packers for more than a hundred yards on 0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:10.040 the season. They're tough against the slot, and they're tough 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:13.840 against the outside. Over to the Packers side, Aaron Jones, 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.760 Aaron Rodgers, and Davante Adams all are getting A grades, 0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:18.400 and we don't really even need to talk about that. 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:20.800 The Panthers aren't good enough to stop them. Uh, the 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:22.440 two guys in the Packers we do need to talk 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:24.960 about Jamal Williams. I am giving a C grade to 0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:28.440 the Panthers run defense made you believe Ronald Jones was 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:32.440 good and in games where that are in hand, Jamal 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:35.400 Williams gets double digit touches. He did it last week 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:37.840 against Detroit. He did it two weeks ago against Chicago. 0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:39.960 Green Bay is an eight and a half point favorite 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.200 at home, so this is a great possibility of plenty 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:45.760 a garbage time in the second half. Finally, Robert Tony 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:49.480 in strong B grade here. He's been. He's been very 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:51.640 effective for most of the second half of the season. 0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:56.560 How about this efficiency? Tonyan has five targets in four 0:08:56.559 --> 0:09:00.200 straight games, five receptions in three of those four games. 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.800 Pretty good, and a touchdown in each of those four games. 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:06.320 That's bankable right there. So Tongyan gets a B. The 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:09.520 Panthers have allowed a touchdown to a tight end three 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:11.960 times in the last four games, and two of those 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:14.280 games where they didn't allow a tight end score, they 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:17.560 allowed exactly sixty eight yards to opposing tight end. So 0:09:17.840 --> 0:09:20.080 I think tongans in a in a nice little spot here. 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:22.640 And if he's available in your league for some dumb reason, 0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:26.200 no chance, probably not, But yeah, he's startable. He's my 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:28.960 number four ranked tight ends. Wow, I got that kind 0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:32.680 of right, Yeah, you absolutely did. Yeah, well, as as 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:35.920 will be proven on Saturday. Don't forget to set your set, 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.840 all your lineups, double check everything Saturday morning before those 0:09:38.880 --> 0:09:41.480 games go off. And if you're listening to this after Saturday, 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:44.440 you'll already know whether or not we're right about Robert Tonyan. 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:47.640 Don't listen to it after Saturday. Some stations air it 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:51.280 after SATURDH I get you after Saturday's tell us how 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:54.880 Robert Togyan did at explosive output. So if we did 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:57.400 really bad, there might be people turning it off right 0:09:57.280 --> 0:10:01.680 right now, these guys know nothing. I have the luxury 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.400 of not having Saturday game. Oh, I see how this 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:11.880 worked out. Funny Seahawks taking on the Washington football team. 0:10:11.960 --> 0:10:15.200 Let's begin with Chris Carson. Washington started the season as 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:19.520 a daunting run defense, but since there Week eight by 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:23.559 even mediocre teams have had good rushing games against Washington. 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:27.840 The Giants, the Lions, the forty niners backs have averaged 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:31.360 one hundred sixty two total yards and almost one and 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:35.160 a half touchdowns per game against Washington. Chris Carson his 0:10:35.240 --> 0:10:37.760 top five yards per carrying scored in every game since 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:40.880 his return from injury. He hasn't seen a ton of touches, 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:44.000 which is concerning, but I think he's now sitting on 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:47.080 what should be a closer game, and I think more 0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:50.280 touches they had working in Carlos hide before before because 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:52.560 he wasn't fully healthy, they had a blowout win against 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:55.320 the Jets. I think now that this game means a lot. 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:57.960 I think Chris Carson and we'll be closer. Chris Carson 0:10:57.960 --> 0:10:59.760 will get a ball, and the Seahawks lost their division 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:02.200 lee it, so they need to start winning again. That's right. 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:05.720 No dorking around Carlos Hi, thank you very much. Now 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:07.720 let's go to the passing game, which is way more 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:12.760 fascinating and really tricky for fantasy owners. Russell Wilson only 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:16.400 a B grade here. First, just erase last week's Jets 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:19.360 game from your memory because they do not count. In 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:23.839 the five games prior to playing the league's worst team, 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:26.880 Wilson average just two d thirty one yards and one 0:11:26.920 --> 0:11:30.400 touchdown per game, two thirty one and one. That is 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:38.760 downright Glennonian watching Watchington's defense has been great since Week six, 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:42.079 their past defense in particular, allowing almost exactly those numbers 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:45.440 two hundred fifteen yards and one point three touchdowns per game. 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:49.480 That's it. Russell Wilson is not an automatic start. On 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:53.359 your team. He is my quarterback ranked I believe eleven 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:57.000 right now for this week, you may have better options 0:11:57.040 --> 0:11:59.400 as that guy that you don't normally start. And you 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:01.360 know this. You should know this because you've been starting. 0:12:01.440 --> 0:12:04.360 Russell Wilson hasn't always paid off. Let's go to DK Metcalf. 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:06.400 I'm still giving him an A grade in spite of 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:09.200 everything I just said because he's DK Metcalf and the 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:12.080 football team has been exposed a bit recently, allowing a 0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:16.000 one yard receiver or multiple receiver touchdowns in three straight. 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:18.720 Metcalf lines up on the left the most often. That 0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:23.080 puts him up against Kendall Fuller, who is usually a 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:26.800 very good cornerback, although he has had some inconsistent games 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:30.320 of late. Then Tyler Lockett slumping down to a C grade. 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:33.400 Mostly he's been a boomer bust receiver and he doesn't 0:12:33.400 --> 0:12:35.920 When he does not score, he busts. And this is 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:39.760 a bad matchup for a touchdown dependent player because working 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.440 out of the slot, he lines up against Jimmy Morland, 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:44.200 who is not allowed to touch down and is giving 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:46.680 up just forty yards in his coverage since Week two. 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:49.679 So Tyler lockets C grade and honestly, it might be 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:51.880 a charitable C grade at that. Let's go to the 0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:55.920 Washington side where Dwayne Haskins you're starting quarterback, and that 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:57.720 pretty much tells you where this is going to add. 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:00.880 The only starting players with A only players are starting 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:03.960 grade Logan Thomas and J. D. Mckissic. Let's just touch 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:07.040 on them briefly. For Logan Thomas, over the last three weeks, 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:10.040 he's roughly tight end six depending on your scoring system. 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:12.600 He's been very effective in those games. In the last 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:15.040 three weeks, He's caught eighteen of nineteen passes that have 0:13:15.080 --> 0:13:18.120 been thrown his way while averaging six catches for fifty 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:20.240 four yards. He's scored twice in three games, so he's 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:23.240 he comes in on a good role here. Logan Thomas 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:25.440 will face a Seattle secondary that's been hit hard by 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:27.480 opposing tight ends for much of the second half of 0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:30.560 the season. C grade. J D. Mckissic also a C grade. 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:32.160 I don't I don't think he's gonna run for very 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:33.760 much and the Seahawks have been a good run defense 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:37.000 all year long. But Seahawks are bottom seven and allowing 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:40.720 receptions and receiving yards two running back, so I think 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:43.520 mckissic gets back to something close to the double digit 0:13:43.559 --> 0:13:47.319 targets that he does periodically enjoy. What about Terry McLaurin, 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:52.079 You might be asked, McLaren, he's on the bench. Oh no, yeah, 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:56.600 right soon. For two straight weeks, McClaren had two catches 0:13:56.600 --> 0:13:59.680 in less than twenty five yards. Dwayne Haskins is under helm. 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:02.280 It's not a death sentence to have Dwayne Haskins, and 0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:05.360 he's throughout his careers put up decent enough box scores 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:09.720 with Dwayne Haskins. But Seattle's past defense has gotten to 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:14.280 be downright good. They're not the worst past defense anymore. No, 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:16.959 they're one of the best. Right now. Seattle hasn't allowed 0:14:16.960 --> 0:14:20.680 a receiver to reach fifty yards in three games and 0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:24.200 hasn't allowed to receiver to score in five games. They're 0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:27.320 arguably the best past defense over the last three weeks, 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:30.880 a total one eight for the Seattle defense. And that's 0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:34.000 why they we'll want to That's why I think they 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:35.680 will be able to shut down Terry McLaurin. You want 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:37.120 to keep him on the bench. I'm not even gonna 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:40.680 discuss Peyton Barber. We can agree here in the fantasy playoffs. 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:47.240 Peyton Barber has business being anywhere near your roster. When 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:49.480 we come back, Nine players upon whom you can take 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:51.440 a chance segment week. I'll take a chance on me. 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:54.080 Guys would not normally start a lot of these guys 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:56.720 on the waiver wire right now, but have very good 0:14:56.760 --> 0:15:00.320 matchups or other circumstances that make them playable. Find out 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:03.400 who they are when we return to Fantasy Football Weekly. 0:15:26.280 --> 0:15:28.760 Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. You guys have good news. 0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:31.960 We may have a replacement. Take a chance of the song. 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:36.560 Oh yeah, yeah, I'm working on it. Some original material 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:39.960 from a band that's interested in uh in helping us 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:43.280 out with a better version of David which is anything 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:46.880 other than this a better version not wait, I know 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:49.560 it will be. It'll be a happy day debut in. 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:54.080 I'm hoping next week for our final final show of 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:57.120 the year full for our final full show of the year, 0:15:57.240 --> 0:16:00.280 the two hour edition the full podcast podcast st all 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:02.760 year long Fantasy Football Weekly, but the over the air 0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:06.680 two hour version comes to an end next week, so 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.720 make sure you subscribe to Fantasy Football Weekly wherever you 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:12.960 listen to podcasts. Absolutely true, take a chance on me. 0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:15.360 Nine players you would not normally start. We'll beginning at 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:20.160 the quarterback position, Scott, I am going with Jared Goff. 0:16:20.280 --> 0:16:22.880 He gets those Jets who are the second worst against 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:27.560 quarterback's third most yards UH and touchdowns allowed to two 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:30.480 quarterbacks over the last six weeks. This is what the 0:16:30.560 --> 0:16:35.680 Jets have allowed to opposing quarterbacks on average, three yards 0:16:35.720 --> 0:16:41.600 and three point four touchdowns. That is, those are can't 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:45.760 mess this up. No, no, no, as he can be, 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:48.080 he cannot mess this up. All right, you take a 0:16:48.120 --> 0:16:51.040 chance at me. Quarterback Matt Baker Mayfield. He's thrown for 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:54.640 over three hundred thirty yards and two straight games, multiple 0:16:54.680 --> 0:16:58.320 touchdown passes in three straight. The Giants a pretty tough 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:01.400 past defense all year long, anchored by the great play 0:17:01.440 --> 0:17:05.040 by corner James Bradberry. But he's gone. He's on the 0:17:05.080 --> 0:17:07.479 COVID list and he won't play this week. That opens 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:13.800 the field for Baker. I like it. Yes, three straight weeks. 0:17:14.280 --> 0:17:18.560 I'm using Sad Trombones. You gotta stop calling him sad 0:17:18.600 --> 0:17:21.200 trombon Ski at this point. You know what, you might 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:27.959 be right, happy trombone Ski. He's worked out for me. 0:17:28.200 --> 0:17:30.520 In all of his starts so far, he's thrown multiple 0:17:30.560 --> 0:17:33.200 touchdowns in four of his five full games. The key 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:37.040 to trombone Ski's renewed success is having the good sense 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:40.480 to throw to Alan Robinson constantly. Since returning to the 0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:43.560 starting job, He's targeting Robinson eleven times per game, creating 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:46.760 nine yards and one touchdown per game. Justin Robinson and 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:49.240 Robinson's got positive matchups all over the field against the 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:53.880 Vikings tissue thin secondary. Let's go to the running back position, Scott, 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:56.840 I am going with Jeff Wilson, despite the fact that 0:17:57.080 --> 0:17:59.880 he mostered his off the injury report and he's he's 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:02.760 supposedly ready to go. He's he's been dealing with an 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:04.720 ankle injury, and I do think it's going to be 0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:07.800 somewhat of a split. Wilson has seven red red zone 0:18:07.840 --> 0:18:10.040 touches in just the last two weeks. All the other 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:13.200 running backs for the Foreign Niers combined have three. Uh 0:18:13.200 --> 0:18:16.200 He's had nine plus touches in five of his eight 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:20.400 healthy games, including four straight. Um and The Ravens had 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:22.840 two running backs do great against the forty Niners. The 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:27.680 Vikings had two running backs sorry against the Cowboys. The 0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:30.080 Ravens and the Vikings both had two running backs do 0:18:30.160 --> 0:18:32.359 great against so I think that there's room for Wilson. 0:18:32.560 --> 0:18:35.760 I agree with you. I think it's a savvy move. Uh, Matt, 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:37.000 let's go with you and take a chance of me 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:39.720 running back. I've got Damien Harris who's down to fifty 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:43.359 ownership in ESPN leagues. And that's because since the return 0:18:43.400 --> 0:18:46.399 of Sony Michelle, Harris is down to the heavy end 0:18:46.440 --> 0:18:50.520 of a sixty time share. Uh. That still probably works 0:18:50.520 --> 0:18:54.520 in this case because they play the Dolphins this week. 0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:56.840 And what did the Patriots do the first time they 0:18:56.880 --> 0:19:01.160 played the Dolphins. It's absolutely bonkers. They ran the ball 0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:04.320 twenty six times with their running backs, they ran the 0:19:04.359 --> 0:19:07.359 ball fifteen times with their quarterback, and they added another 0:19:07.440 --> 0:19:11.639 six receptions by their backs. They're gonna run a single 0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:14.800 wing or a wishbone here and just run it over 0:19:14.880 --> 0:19:17.520 and over. And a few weeks ago, the Dolphins faced 0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:20.359 the Broncos, who were not passing well at that time. 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:22.720 They had Melvin Gordon and Philip Lindsay in the backfield. 0:19:22.800 --> 0:19:25.040 Each of them carried the ball fifteen times. Each of 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:27.160 them went over eight yards on the ground. I think 0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:29.480 that's the blueprint for the Patriots here. Might take a 0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:33.520 chance on me running back. Is Lynn Bowden up the 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:38.959 Miami Dolphins might be a wide receiver in some weeks, 0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:44.720 but depend on his eligibility pretty much every every online scoring, 0:19:44.800 --> 0:19:47.920 every online system. Lynn Boden's treated like a running back, 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:51.440 and really he does take a few snaps in the backfield, 0:19:51.440 --> 0:19:53.960 but mostly he's a wide out. Some combination of the 0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:58.560 following Dolphins are gonna miss this game, Miles Gaskin, Savon Akhmed, 0:19:58.760 --> 0:20:01.399 DeVante Parker, Mike Kaseki, and Jakim Grant. I don't know 0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:03.000 which ones are gonna be in around and they're all 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:04.679 game time, he said, I don't know for sure, but 0:20:04.800 --> 0:20:06.960 some combination they're gonna be out, and that's gonna give 0:20:07.000 --> 0:20:12.359 space for our hybrid utility runner receiver Lynn Voden. Like 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:16.040 last week when he let the Dolphins in targets, receptions, 0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:18.520 and yards, he was on the field more than any 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:22.120 Dolphins skill player other than two a last week. New 0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:25.399 England's a good defense, but not the impenetrable defense we 0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:28.160 have seen in recent years. Charge He also played quarterback 0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:30.159 and he threw a past last week. Are you going 0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:33.160 to call the quarterback touchdown from we have a controversy. 0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:35.760 Not only that I am I am not only calling 0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:40.560 a quarterback passing a passing touch on to himself also 0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:43.480 as wide receiver. In fact, I think we're gonna I'm 0:20:43.480 --> 0:20:45.960 gonna go one step further. I think he is going 0:20:46.000 --> 0:20:52.000 to execute a halfback option from quarterback him to running 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:55.000 back him throwing the ball to receiver him all all, 0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:57.760 Lynn Boden, how about didn't Nelson do that on the 0:20:57.800 --> 0:21:01.359 Simpsons one time? Probably? I think he should do a 0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:05.040 double fleet flicker. He should get two hands it to 0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:07.720 a fluff flee flicker to it to flip it back 0:21:07.720 --> 0:21:12.880 to him and then he throws it downfield Mr. Perfect style. Yeah. Absolutely, 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:15.600 let's go to the wide receiver position. Scott, your take 0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:18.000 a chance for me receiver. I'm going with Jared Cook, 0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:21.080 which feels a little gross. There's three different players in 0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:24.760 this game I could definitely take a chance on. But 0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:26.439 this is a team that just allowed a hundred and 0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:29.600 ten yards and two scores to the Gisecky shaheen smythe group. 0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:34.239 That's a weird uh the firm, isn't it? I think? So? 0:21:34.280 --> 0:21:36.679 They allowed four for fifty seven to Fan, they allowed 0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:39.880 ten for hundred forty two Gronk and Braid eighty eight 0:21:39.920 --> 0:21:42.360 and one to Waller. Wouldn't even scoring that one over 0:21:42.359 --> 0:21:45.000 the last four They're just getting demolished by tight ends. 0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:47.600 With Michael Thomas out, I think Jared Cook might see 0:21:47.640 --> 0:21:51.960 some work, all right, And your receiver matt Richard Higgins 0:21:51.960 --> 0:21:54.680 of the Browns. Did I mention that James Bradberry is out? Yes, 0:21:54.680 --> 0:21:58.240
