00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 3: You remember Fantasy football training camp?

10
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, the last long time ago. It's nice of you

11
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 1: to dust yourself off.

12
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 3: It's soccer season, baby.

13
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 2: Uh huh.

14
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: And also back to back editions with Thorneistrom.

15
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: Great to have you guys here. How you guys doing

16
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: very good.

17
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: We come out of a high scoring Thursday night game.

18
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: A lot of people already know if they're in the

19
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: driver's seat or if they're in big troubles. We head

20
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: into the matchups. We'll break the I'm all down Fantasy

21
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: Football Weekly style with letter grades on every player who matters.

22
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: We'll also give you nine players upon whom you can

23
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: take a chance. We'll answer three tough questions and give

24
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: you some premature speculation players like we did last week

25
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: when we gave you Rashid Shaheed Thor, who did you

26
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 1: give Kua? No, you don't say, where is the peacock?

27
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 3: Sound?

28
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 2: Oh it's coming right here, baby. Yeah. Look, when Thor

29
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: gives out.

30
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: A guy who breaks his maiden on fifteen targets, eleven

31
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: catches in one hundred nineteen yards.

32
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 2: You get one of these, baby, not a bad first.

33
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 3: Take a chance on me, Thor, good job.

34
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's the Cooper cupp roll. The whole game was wild, fantastic.

35
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 2: We loved it. We loved it.

36
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: And Bran Johnson, by the way, pounding the table for

37
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: kyn Williams all preseason. I was like, I don't think so.

38
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: He didn't look good est year, Boy did that look

39
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: good too. Here Brian's not here, but I'm gonna give

40
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: him one of these.

41
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 2: Good night. I'm gonna get most of the peacocking out

42
00:01:58,880 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: of the way. Now.

43
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: We didn't get every right, but we got those things right.

44
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: Let's start breaking down matchups. Las Vegas taking on Buffalo

45
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: matt The Las Vegas offense looked shockingly competent last.

46
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 2: Week, and the Buffalo defense didn't look that great. Yeah,

47
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: what do you think here.

48
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 3: Well, I'm giving Josh Jacobs right off the bat my

49
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 3: fantasy Ardvark the gate right out of the gate. He

50
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,639
Speaker 3: got all but one carry for the Raiders last week,

51
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 3: and the Bills allowed a very nice six point nine

52
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 3: yards per carry to the Jets backs on Monday Night.

53
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 3: That makes Jacobs a easy easy a DeVante. Adams sat

54
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 3: out of practice for a lot of the week, but

55
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 3: practicing full on Thursday. Jacoby Myers doubtful with concussion, and

56
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 3: Myers actually had more targets than Adams last week, so

57
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 3: I foresee Adams getting more focused this week with Hunter

58
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 3: Renfro actually seeing a target or two. Adams gets an

59
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 3: A grade in this one, as he'll match up with

60
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 3: Tradavius White, who seems to be a shell of his

61
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 3: former self. He allowed Garrett Wilson to score a touchdown

62
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 3: last week in his coverage. And you can't start Renfro

63
00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 3: or any of the tight ends on the Raiders side.

64
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 3: They're just not there yet, even.

65
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,839
Speaker 1: With Jacobe Meyers. I don't Renfro is so invisible. Yes,

66
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: Meyer's not going to go in this game.

67
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 3: Jimmy g gets a C grade, though the Jets stopped

68
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 3: passing for the most part as soon as Rogers tendon

69
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,640
Speaker 3: snapped in half last week. So there inflated Zach Wilson

70
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 3: numbers deserve a little asterisk. Garoppolo did fine against maybe

71
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 3: a better Broncos defense last week, ended up with two

72
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 3: hundred and two. That sounds like a Jimmy g style

73
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 3: game to me. Over on the bill side, Josh Allen

74
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,519
Speaker 3: and Stefan Diggs, they're easy A grades in this one.

75
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, how about Diggs just nuking Sauce Gardner right out

76
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: of the gate.

77
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 3: Well, he also nuked Gabe Davis a little bit, who

78
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 3: actually ran one more route than Diggs last week but

79
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 3: saw only four targets to thirteen for Diggs.

80
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then you know, then we saw his own

81
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: team talking about they got to get more production out

82
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: of their second receiver without naming him by name.

83
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean the good thing about Gabe Davis

84
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 3: his targets were downfield. His a dot was eighteen point

85
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 3: seven yards huge. Davis runs a ton of routes out

86
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 3: of the left side of the field, and last year

87
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 3: the Raiders allowed an average of fourteen yards per deep

88
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 3: left attempt. Ooh, that's a pretty saucy little number there.

89
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 3: That hole in the defense is Jacory and Bennett, who

90
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 3: wears double zero on the field, and that was also

91
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 3: his PFF grade last week. Not really, it wasn't that low,

92
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 3: but he was their worst corner.

93
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 2: Does he really wear double zero?

94
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 3: He does?

95
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: I didn't see that on the during the game. I

96
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: didn't know there was anybody wearing double zero.

97
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 3: Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox, the double DK's basically split

98
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 3: snaps last week. Both had four targets. It's a complete

99
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 3: split right now, and you don't want to deal with

100
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 3: either of the double DKs, so they're both on the

101
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 3: bench for you. And finally, the Bills really want James

102
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,559
Speaker 3: Cook to be the guy. He led the snaps forty

103
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 3: one to fifteen for Latavius Murray and only nine for

104
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 3: Damian Harris. He led the opportunities eighteen to four to three.

105
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 3: If he's going to be a bellcow, it should be

106
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 3: a decent week against a Raiders defense who just allowed

107
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 3: one hundred and thirty five combo yards to the split

108
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 3: backfield of samaj p Ryan and Javonte Williams. So I'm

109
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 3: giving Cook a B grade this week.

110
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought we'd see a little more of Damien Harris,

111
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: and it never it did not materialize, not at all,

112
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: not at all. San Francisco taking on the Rams store

113
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: the forty nine Ers had swore they were going to

114
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: dial back the usage on Christian McCaffrey, and he probably

115
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: had ran the most plays in the NFL, I believe,

116
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: or the most of any running back in the NFL

117
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: last week.

118
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: Sure did.

119
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, And obviously he is a must start in this

120
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 4: game with the great A. The Rams run defense struggles

121
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 4: to tackle and they don't make plays behind the line

122
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 4: of scrimmage, so you have to start him. As far

123
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 4: as the passing game there, the Rams are his zone

124
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 4: heavy team. Brandon I destroys man coverage, as we talked

125
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 4: about last week, which is one of the reasons he

126
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 4: had a really good game last week. Well, Deebo Samuel

127
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 4: is the forty nine Ers zone beater, So this week

128
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 4: we're going to give Deebo Samuel a great a because

129
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 4: of that, easily number one on the team in targets

130
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 4: per route run versus man cover I'm sorry, versus zone coverage.

131
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 4: Since Brock Purty took over and the Rams cornerbacks Darien

132
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 4: Kendrick and Akello Withers Witherspoon, if I can talk, are

133
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 4: not very good.

134
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 2: Brandon Ayuk, We're gonna give.

135
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 4: Him a bee, even though this matchup isn't quite as

136
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 4: good for him because of the coverage tendencies of the Rams.

137
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,239
Speaker 4: Brandon Ayuk wide receiver two in Fantasy.

138
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 2: Last week, great game, yeah.

139
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 4: And only ranked number four on the team and targets

140
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 4: per route run with Perty under center versus man coverage

141
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 4: last year, though, so we have to downgrade him to

142
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,799
Speaker 4: a B. But again, this is a good matchup because

143
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 4: the Rams cornerbacks are terrible. Brock Perdy, We're gonna give

144
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 4: him a B in part for that reason. Fantasy quarterback

145
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 4: ten last week and number eight in adjusted completion rate

146
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 4: the Rams. As I mentioned zone heavy team, Purdy was

147
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 4: number four in yards per attempt last year against zone coverage.

148
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 4: George Kittle, We're gonna give him a bee. I waffle

149
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 4: between A and B on this one. Kittle wasn't healthy

150
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 4: last week, but he still got fed targets on twenty

151
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 4: three percent of his routes.

152
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 2: That's pretty good.

153
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 4: Last year against zone coverage with Perty under center, Kittle

154
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 4: got targets on a similar twenty four percent of his

155
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 4: routes with a get this Ludacris sixty seven percent touchdown percentage.

156
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 2: Wow.

157
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 4: Rams gave up seventh most touchdowns to opposing tight ends

158
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 4: last year. So we're gonna get what We'll say it

159
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 4: B plus No we won't. No, we we'll say.

160
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 3: I like this guy. No, this guy's a great new

161
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 3: co host.

162
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: You know I had good thor for one week that

163
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: he's already turned on me.

164
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,679
Speaker 2: Fisher was a bad influence for me. Yeah, clearly.

165
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 4: And moving to the Rams, Matthew Stafford great game last

166
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 4: week three, only forty passing yards that rank number three

167
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 4: in the NFL. But I can only give them a

168
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 4: seat in this game because the matchup isn't quite as good.

169
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 4: Four career games against the forty nine ers for Stafford, Yeah,

170
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 4: five to five touchdown interception ratio and only a six

171
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 4: point zero yards per attempt. Can the Rams offensive line

172
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 4: hold up? Is my other question? The forty nine ers

173
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 4: were number two in pressure rate line last week. Pooka Nakua,

174
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 4: My boy got to give him a greade B here

175
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 4: he has an oblique injury, but reports say he's going

176
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 4: to play last week was ridiculous. I know I gave

177
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 4: him out but I wasn't expected as I'm yeah, he

178
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 4: went nuclear forty two point nine percent of first read

179
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,239
Speaker 4: target share last week for Matthew Staffett's was consistently.

180
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: Looking at him. Puka was playing that Cooper Cup role.

181
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 4: Like I mentioned, he was number five in the NFL

182
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 4: in yards per route run in week one. Believe the

183
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 4: hype two two at well will give him a bee.

184
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 4: He was impressive in his own right now.

185
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 2: It was another one hundred and nineteen yard performance.

186
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 4: Exactly three point six yards per route run last week

187
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 4: for two to two, and I liked how the rams

188
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 4: were moving him around and then getting him in bunch

189
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 4: formations to guarantee free releases off the line.

190
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 2: He's obviously a question we had about him coming out, yeah,

191
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 2: because he's a he's a tiny guy, he's a stick. Yeah.

192
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 4: But if they can get him off the line, he

193
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 4: can do damage there. Tyler Higbee will give him a

194
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 4: CEE this week. The troubling thing about him last week

195
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,680
Speaker 4: was he was basically ignored when he was out on

196
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 4: the runs. On the routes only a seven point nine

197
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 4: percent target share last week, and this is a tough

198
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 4: matchup against the forty nine ers defense that allowed the

199
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:15,719
Speaker 4: eighth fewest fantasy points to tight ends last year. Cam

200
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 4: Akers were keeping them on the bench. Speaking of troubling

201
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,599
Speaker 4: twenty two carries for twenty nine yards last.

202
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 3: Week, that's not good.

203
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 4: We could have ran for more yards on twenty two carries.

204
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 4: You could fall forward for more than that.

205
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 3: Yes, you can.

206
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: As a matter of fact, yes again, And I saw

207
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: this stat combine my Twitter feed, and I think it's correct.

208
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: First time in NFL history there have been three different

209
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: running backs in the same week, all to have at

210
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: least fifteen carries and less than one and a half

211
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: yards per carry.

212
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 4: Wow, gosh, this is not a good batchup for him

213
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 4: against the forty nine Ers defense that allowed the fewest

214
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 4: fantasy points to running backs last year. I will give

215
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 4: Brian's boy Kyrin Johnson a C grade, though he's better

216
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 4: than cam Akers Kyrin Williams says, and he's more versatile too.

217
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 4: By far played sixty five percent of the snaps last week.

218
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 4: He can had fifteen touches for fifty two total yards.

219
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 4: If there's a Rams running back you want in your lineup,

220
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 4: it's Kirian Williams this.

221
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 2: Week, and probably only him. As it turns out only him.

222
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: Baltimore takes on Cincinnati, and we got to go back

223
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: to Lamar Jackson. Look, I've I warned you last week

224
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: about Jackson's prospects, and I don't love him here either.

225
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: Going back to Week four of last year, He's averaging

226
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: zero point nine passing touchdowns per game.

227
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 2: That's it.

228
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: And that includes a game against these same Bengals in

229
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: which he threw for one hundred and seventy four yards

230
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: in one touchdown. But that's not what's most troubling. Here's

231
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: what you should really be worried about. New offensive coordinator

232
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: Todd Munkin gave Lamar Jackson two designed runs totaling two yards. Yeah,

233
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: that's it for fantasy purposes. We do not want to

234
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: change out. We don't want to exchange runs for passes.

235
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: That is a bad currency exchange right there. So you

236
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: didn't draft Jackson for his passing and the Bengals just

237
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: put to Shaun Watson on a brutal passing game last week.

238
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: I can only muster a C grade for Lamar Jackson.

239
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 1: Caution again, you know who I love though, Zay Flowers.

240
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 2: Yes?

241
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 1: Oh did he look promising in Week one?

242
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 2: Great?

243
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: He played eighty four percent of the snaps. He accounted

244
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: for one fewer target than the rest of the team combined.

245
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: He ran half his place from the slot and half outside,

246
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: so he'll see all he'll see it really all of

247
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: the Bengals cornerbacks. It's a It's a solid secondary, particularly

248
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: Chadobi a Woozia. But Flowers can win against Mike Hilton,

249
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: Cam Taylor Britt Those can be positive matchups, and he

250
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 1: moves all over the field. So I'm giving a B

251
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: grade to say Flowers. Mark Andrews practiced in full on Friday.

252
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: That's very encouraging, but I can only get him to

253
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 1: a C grade because I worry about snapcount, possible setback

254
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 1: on the hamstring, and Cincinnati held the Browns tight ends

255
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: and check last week. Aside from a random Harrison Bryan Shorty,

256
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: that's it. Andrews did crush the Browns in his one

257
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: meeting last year, and Isaiah likely did in the meeting

258
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: he didn't play in, so maybe there's more to like here,

259
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: but I'm only going C grade on Mark Andrews. Obj

260
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: Obj's on the bench played most of the snaps, more

261
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: snaps than any Baltimore receiver, but only saw three targets,

262
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: and maybe it's just him not going to rust off

263
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: or whatever. He did make one nice catch on the

264
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: left side of the field, but I think I'm gonna

265
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: wait until I've got an easier matchup before I dart

266
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: throw on Obj and assume that he's ready for a

267
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,719
Speaker 1: bigger role, and then we're shot Bateman. I want to

268
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: show you some caution here. He ran half his routes

269
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: from the slot. That is a massive departure and how

270
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: he was used in years past and where Rashod Bateman

271
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: was giving us good fantasy games in the earlier parts

272
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: of his career, it was on big downfield plays. Those

273
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: are much harder to generate from the slot, and that's

274
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: now suddenly where he's running. Prehistorically had run about eighteen

275
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: percent of his plays from the slot. He ran half

276
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 1: his plays from the slot under tot monkn That is

277
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: a big worry for Rashad Bateman. I would chose some

278
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: concern there. And then let's go to the runners. Gus

279
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 1: Edwards just as Hill, both getting C grades here. An

280
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: almost even split between Edwards and Hill last week. But

281
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: history suggests this Hill's not good and Gus I think

282
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: should get more work I think he's just a better

283
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,319
Speaker 1: back now. That said, Todd Munkin wasn't here for the

284
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: bad Justice Hills days, and maybe he's gonna be better

285
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: going forward. I maybe Cincinnati middle of the pack run

286
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: defense that got gouged by Nick Chubb for six yards

287
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: per carry last week. Granted Chubbs like way better than

288
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards and Justice Hill still both startable here. I

289
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: know he'll got the goal line carries last week. I

290
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: also think.

291
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 2: That's a weird fluky thing.

292
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 1: Gus Edwards is better built for it, and Justice Hill

293
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 1: only one point one yards per carry last week also troubling.

294
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Cincinnati this one take as

295
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: long bounce back game coming. Everybody believes it's coming.

296
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: I do too.

297
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase obvious A. He saw a twenty nine percent

298
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: targets share last week. He's gonna be just fine. But

299
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: T Higgins, let's talk him through more. Out of the

300
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: zero catch game, he saw eight targets and he was

301
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: on the field for ninety five percent of the offensive

302
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: snaps last week. So it's gonna come together here. We

303
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 1: know he's a good player and Cincinnati. Cincinnati might give

304
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: him some extra looks to make up for last week's gooseg.

305
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: Baltimore's nineteen receptions allowed to wide receivers were the third

306
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: most in Week one, and They're two hundred yards allowed

307
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: to wide receivers was fifth most. And Baltimore's now without

308
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: their starting safety Marcus Williams, so that could unlock some

309
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: deep receptions for T. Higgins and Jamar Chase. B grade

310
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: on T Higgins and if I've got A and B

311
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: grades on Joe Burrow's two main receivers, obviously I like him.

312
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: I've got a B grade here in which should be

313
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 1: a bounce back. Not in the rain, not in the

314
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: knock the rust off game from last week. And the

315
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: Ravens saw fifty four dropbacks last week against CJ. Stroud

316
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: in his NFL debut, So this is going to be

317
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: a pass heavy game plan. Joe Mixon claims chimes in

318
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: with a B grade, mixing accounted for fifty one percent

319
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: of the Bengals total offense last week. He averaged seventy

320
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: one total yards and four receptions per four receptions per

321
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: game over the final three game last three games against

322
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 1: Baltimore last sear even a season.

323
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 2: Excuse me, the.

324
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: Ravens allowed the fourth fewest rushing yards opposing backs. Last year,

325
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: they just held the Titans Texans backfields to three point

326
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 1: one yards per carry.

327
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 2: That's a good run defense. I'm a little worried about.

328
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: Mixing, but he's the only game in town, so he

329
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 1: still gets the B grade.

330
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 2: When we come back.

331
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: Nine players upon whom you can take a chance. If

332
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: you're already looking to the waiver wire for some help,

333
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: you look into the bench for some help.

334
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 2: We've got some guys that might be suitable for your team.

335
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 2: Find out who they are.

336
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 5: When we come back Fantasy Football Weekly.

337
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 2: Take a chance on me. Nine players not normally in

338
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 2: your starting lineup.

339
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: Guys many cases you're going to be able to pick

340
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: up off of the waiver wire and give a start

341
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: to this week. Matt Harrison, let's begin at the quarterback position.

342
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 2: Who you got.

343
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 3: I've got CJ. Stroud who looked okay last week two

344
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 3: hundred and forty two yards, no touchdowns, but no picks either,

345
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 3: and he was efficient against a good defense. The team

346
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 3: kept it tight with only a six point zero a dot,

347
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 3: and he threw the ball forty four times on that

348
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 3: so kept it short and sweet. This week, he gets

349
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 3: a Colts defense not nearly as good. The Colts allowed

350
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 3: two forty one and two to Trevor Lawrence last week

351
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 3: in a game where Jacksonville ran the ball most of

352
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 3: the second half. I think Stroud's throwing the ball a

353
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 3: lot this week.

354
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to thor. Who's your take a

355
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 2: chance on me quarterback?

356
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 4: I'm going with Jared Goff, who was number eighteen in

357
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 4: fantasy points last week but number nine in passing grade

358
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 4: against the Chiefs. The young Seahawks secondary that he's going

359
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 4: to be playing this weekend got Torch last week. The

360
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 4: Seax gave up the third most passing yards and fourth

361
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 4: highest yards per attempt in Week one. I like it,

362
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 4: Jared Goff. I'm going Baker Mayfield againsticgo. They're gonna be

363
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 4: without slot corner Kyler Gordon probably for a while. That

364
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 4: means it is an a plus matchup for Chris Godwin,

365
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 4: who I love here. Mike Evans also a great matchup.

366
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 4: The Bears are trotting out rookie Tyreek Stevenson, who allowed

367
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 4: a touchdown to Romeo Dubson a man coverage last week.

368
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,959
Speaker 4: Evans is a better red zone threat, obviously than Romeo Dobbs.

369
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 4: So as a team, the Bears posted the sixth worst

370
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 4: Pro Football Focus coverage grade in Week one.

371
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 1: So I like Baker Mayfield here to get a couple

372
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: of touchdowns, maybe even three. Let's go to the running

373
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:31,959
Speaker 1: back position.

374
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 3: I got Zach Masson kind of a bonus. Take a

375
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 3: chance on me Dion Jackson as well, either of them.

376
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 3: Can you can start with a C grade this week.

377
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 3: Jackson was sort of the default belcoal for Indie last

378
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 3: week because Moss was inactive and Evan Hull was injured.

379
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 3: After only seven snaps, Jackson was on the field for

380
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 3: seventy one percent of the offensive snaps targeted in the

381
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,400
Speaker 3: passing game on twenty two percent of his routes run.

382
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 3: But with Zach Moss returning, I think it's a pretty

383
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 3: even split, with Moss taking the ground game and Jackson

384
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 3: being the pass catching back. The Texans did hold the

385
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 3: Ravens backs only two point six yards per carry last week,

386
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 3: but the Runners scored three touchdowns in this game, and

387
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 3: it was the worst run defense in the league last year,

388
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 3: And maybe it was just a little bit fake because

389
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,360
Speaker 3: of Baltimore's runners thor.

390
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 4: You're taking a chance at me runner I'm gonna go

391
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 4: with Taj Spears against the Chargers. Taja clearly, at minimum

392
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 4: is the team's clear pass catching back, and it might

393
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 4: be more than that. Last week in a neutral game script,

394
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 4: Taj Spears actually outsnapped Derrick Henry. In games where the

395
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 4: Titans are down this season, I think Spears's usage is

396
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 4: going to explode and.

397
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 1: They could be down a lot of Ryan Tannehill's gonna

398
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: keep playing like this.

399
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 3: They've lost eight straight games the Titans.

400
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 2: Especially against the Chargers. It's gonna be the case.

401
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 4: Last week Taj Spears' first game in the NFL six

402
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,360
Speaker 4: yards after contact per attempt.

403
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Ezekiel Elliott going up against Miami

404
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 1: leg In his first game with the Patriots. Zeke had

405
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: half the snap count of Vermandre Stevenson half, but managed

406
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: more rushing yards on fewer carries, and he chipped into

407
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: surprising five receptions for Zeke. Miami just got blasted by

408
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: two different backs, Austin Eckler and Josh Kelly, so two

409
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: different backs could post good stats against Miami again here,

410
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: and I still like Rmandre Stevenson do. Through one week,

411
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 1: Miami ranks dead last and rushing yards allowed, dead last

412
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: in total yards allowed to running backs and second to

413
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: last in rushing touchdowns allowed to runners. Ezekiel Elliott. Let's

414
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: go to our receivers. Who's your take a chance on me?

415
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 2: Receiver?

416
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 3: Man, I've got a tight end and it's come to this.

417
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,479
Speaker 3: Zach Ertz is to take a chance on me? Tight end?

418
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 2: Yeah name more active than I expected in Week one?

419
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 3: Yeah had ten targets.

420
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 2: Last week.

421
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,239
Speaker 3: The next closest target share in Arizona was five, so

422
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 3: he doubled up everybody else. Josh Dobbs is not a

423
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 3: downfield thrower. His average depth of target was only five

424
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 3: point eight. That plays right into a tight end getting

425
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 3: a ton of targets, and the Giants haven't done well

426
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 3: against tight ends who are targeted a lot. The last

427
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 3: eight tight ends who've seen at least eight targets against

428
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 3: the Giants have an average line of eight catches eighty

429
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 3: yards and a fifty seven percent chance of a score.

430
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,479
Speaker 2: That's a lot. Let's go to your receiver. So welcome

431
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 2: back to the Rashid Shahed Show.

432
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, loved him last week. We're going right back to

433
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:10,679
Speaker 1: the well again after last week's.

434
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 4: Hit, going right back to the well eighty nine yards

435
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 4: last week for Shaheed sixteen point two at twenty four

436
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 4: percent air yard share and three point six yards per

437
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 4: route run.

438
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 2: Derek Carr looks like he has his deep ball groove back,

439
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 2: which is.

440
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 4: Another important thing here for Shahida, guy who hits dingers,

441
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 4: and this week he gets mediocre Panthers cornerbacks Dante Jackson

442
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 4: and CJ.

443
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 2: Henderson. He gonna stack again.

444
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you a double up bill like it

445
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: not bills though. These are Texans Robert Woods and Nico Collins,

446
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: both I already told you CJ. Stroud fifty four dropbacks,

447
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: forty four pass attempts last week, and volume is all

448
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 1: we need against a very suspect Indianapolis secondary missing both

449
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: of its starting cornerbacks from last season last week, and

450
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: he got warked by Calvin Ridley and J.

451
00:20:59,520 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 2: Jones.

452
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: So why not little Robert Woods and Nico Collins. Granted

453
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: they're not as good, but still we're just talking take

454
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: a chance with me, guys here. Woods led the Texans

455
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: and snaps Collins led the Texans in targets.

456
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 2: I think they're both good plays here.

457
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: And let's go to the matchups, including that one Yeah,

458
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 1: Indianapolis is taking on Houston. You already gave us C. J. Stroud,

459
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 1: I gave Robert Woods and Nico Collins. We got this

460
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 1: thing already half done.

461
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got I got a B for Stroud, I

462
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 3: got a bee for Collins, and I gotta see for Woods.

463
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 3: By the way, Nico Collins led the team with a

464
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 3: twenty six point two percent target share last week and

465
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 3: saw one hundred and sixty five air yards. Wow, that's nuts.

466
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 3: They're gonna chuck it downfield and it's gonna be great.

467
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 3: Dalton Schultz he led the Texans with forty three routes

468
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 3: run five more than any player, but he was only

469
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 3: targeted four times for an average depth of zero point

470
00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 3: seventy five yards. He's almost going backwards. I'm gonna keep

471
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 3: Dalton Schultz on forward for that. I'm gonna keep Dalton

472
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 3: Schultz on the bench for that reason. Damian Pierce he

473
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 3: only was on the field for forty eight point six

474
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 3: percent of the snaps in Week one, and according to

475
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 3: JJ Zachariison, that's his lowest snap share since Week one

476
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 3: of last year. Oh, by the way, that was his

477
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 3: first game ever. It's very disappointing. Week for him, But

478
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 3: we highlighted on the show last week that the Ravens

479
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 3: run defense is legit, so maybe they were saving him

480
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 3: for this week. Still going to give Pierce the B grade.

481
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 3: The Colts allowed two touchdowns to runners last week and

482
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 3: seventeen last season.

483
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: Pierce is gonna is going to hit him by the

484
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: way that that Texans offensive line is not good.

485
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's going to be.

486
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 2: Pierce is gonna have to make a lot of his

487
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 2: own yards.

488
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: Fortunately, Indies run defense is bad, and fortunately Pierce is

489
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: pretty good at that.

490
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 3: Yes, he is over on the Indie side. There's only

491
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 3: two guys you can really start. One of them's Anthony

492
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 3: Richardson two to twenty three in a score through the

493
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 3: air last week, but a ton of that was on

494
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 3: his wide receivers making plays. His average depth of target

495
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 3: was only five point three, twenty ninth in the league.

496
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 3: He had six designed run plays, which is a little

497
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,719
Speaker 3: fewer than I thought he would get, four scrambles, created

498
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 3: ten rushing attempts for forty yards in a score. Only

499
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones had more rushing attempts as a QB in

500
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 3: Week one, though Houston saw Lamar Jackson last week, who

501
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 3: he thought would be a big runner, but Jackson ended

502
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 3: up with only six carries for thirty eight on the ground.

503
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,120
Speaker 3: It's probably going to be a low volume passing game

504
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 3: for Richardson, but I bet he finds at least fifty

505
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 3: yards on the ground here. So with that fifty yards,

506
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 3: I think it's a B grade for Richardson just on

507
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 3: the upside alone. Michael Pittman is the only wide receiver

508
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 3: you can start, and it's just to see target shares.

509
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 3: Last week, Pittman got twenty eight percent of them, Josh

510
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 3: Downs eighteen percent, Alec Pierce only eight percent, but Pittman

511
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 3: he was only targeted five yards down the field as well.

512
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 3: That's why he's knocked down to a sea. We're reliant

513
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 3: on him breaking one on a short pass. His touchdown

514
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 3: last week was behind the line of scrimmage and he

515
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 3: broke it for thirty nine yards in a score. We're

516
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 3: reliant on Michael Pittman doing that. So that's why he's

517
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 3: only a C grade.

518
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought Pittman looked pretty good, but this is

519
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 1: going to be inconsistent box scores probably.

520
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, let's go to Seattle taking on Detroit.

521
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: Seattle is going to be hamstrung without two tackles. Charles

522
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 1: Cross and Abraham Lucas both not going to play in

523
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 1: this game, and that is for an offensive line that's

524
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: already struggling.

525
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 2: Those are some pretty big losses.

526
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 4: It sure is because the Lions last year number nine

527
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 4: in pressure rate, number seven in blitz rate. Tino Smith

528
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 4: was under duress all last week and that is going

529
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 4: to be the case again. I'm only giving Gino a

530
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 4: grade A C here last week fourth lowest yards per

531
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 4: attempt in the NFL, like I mentioned, was under duress

532
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 4: the entire game. Last year, Gino was number twenty eight

533
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 4: in the league in passing grade when blitzed, giving him

534
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 4: a C. Tyler Lockett, I'll give him a B because

535
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 4: the Lions are a zone heavy defense. Lockett is the

536
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 4: zone beater who finds the soft spots on this offense.

537
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 4: Number eighteen in the NFL last year in yards per

538
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,880
Speaker 4: route run against zone DK metcalf I can only give

539
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 4: him a C grade in this In this game, he

540
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 4: had an identical twenty two percent target rate to Lockett's

541
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 4: last year against zone coverage. But while Lockett averaged two

542
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 4: point three yards per route run against zone DK only

543
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 4: averaged one point eight. I got to keep the rest

544
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 4: of the pass catchers, including Jackson, Smith and Jig, but

545
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 4: on the bench Smith and Jig, but we need to

546
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 4: see him fully healed from that risk injury, and we

547
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 4: need to see how his role clarifies everybody else on

548
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 4: the bench. Kenneth Walker will give him a grade to

549
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 4: be here. Was able to hold off Charbonnet last week.

550
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 4: Sharbonney was barely apparent there. Kenneth Walker had sixteen touches

551
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 4: for sixty seven yards on sixty three percent of the snaps.

552
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 4: Lions had a good week last week against the run

553
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 4: versus the Chiefs did very much so, but the Lions

554
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 4: struggled against zone runs last year and those accounted for

555
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 4: half of Kenneth Walker's attempts last week. Going to the Lions,

556
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 4: Jared Goff was might take a chance on me, quarterback

557
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 4: Amanras Saint Brown. I'm giving him an A for this matchup. Yeah,

558
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 4: he was wide receiver eleven in fantasy scoring.

559
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: It should have been wide receiver like two had had

560
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: Jared Goff not completely missed him wide open for a

561
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: seventy yard down the scene touchdown.

562
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 2: A man, oh maw that hurt.

563
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 4: He same Bratt was also number eleven in yards per

564
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 4: route run versus zone coverage last season, and as you

565
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 4: guys know, the Pete Carroll defense is it's notoriously zone coverage.

566
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 4: Sam Laporta, Sammy ball game. I'm giving them a great

567
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 4: B here. I almost thought about going to an A

568
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 4: on this one, though. Laporta last week eighty three percent

569
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 4: of the snaps and he ranked number four among tight

570
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 4: ends in the NFL in targets per route run.

571
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 2: That is tight end one usage, folks.

572
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 4: The Seahawks are also awful against tight ends, allowed the

573
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 4: second most fantasy points to opposing tight ends last year.

574
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 2: David Montgomery, I'm giving a B in this one.

575
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 4: Seventy four yards on twenty one carries while playing seventy

576
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 4: nine percent of the snaps against the Chiefs, and he

577
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 4: got most of the red zone work. Seattle profiles is

578
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 4: a middle up the pack run defense this year. I

579
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 4: think Montgomery's gonna.

580
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 2: Get more work. Gibbs.

581
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 4: Speaking of more work, Jamior Gibbs, I'm giving them an

582
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 4: ah only played twenty yes, only played twenty seven percent

583
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 4: of snaps against the Chiefs, sixty total yards on nine touches,

584
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 4: but was number one in the NFL in.

585
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 2: Miss tackles force per attempt.

586
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 4: This is the week Jamiir Gibbs gets on leish the

587
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 4: Seattle Rink dead last in the NFL in yards per

588
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 4: reception to running backs last year, and Pete Carroll's defenses

589
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 4: are horrible against receiving running backs going back years and

590
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 4: years and years.

591
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 2: Jamiir Gibbs going nuts this weekend. That is a strong take.

592
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: When we come back Washington, will we see another decent

593
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 1: game from Sammy Oh? Will find out when we come

594
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:48,439
Speaker 1: back Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Hi

595
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 1: am Paul Charchy and co hosts Matt Harrison, Thorne Eystrom.

596
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us. We're working our way through

597
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 1: all of the Week two matchups. If you're behind because

598
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 1: you played against a bunch of vikings and ego, we're

599
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: here to try to help. And if you're ahead, we're helped.

600
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: We're hopefully going to help you maintain that lead. If

601
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,440
Speaker 1: you started Alexander Madison, you're in a pinch and not

602
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: just potentially for this week, maybe long term.

603
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,120
Speaker 3: And if you're not listening, we hope you lose.

604
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: Yes, that's right, mm hmm, Well, I don't know. We

605
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,240
Speaker 1: don't wish bad things, well, just on the non listeners

606
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 1: of the show. They don't count non listeners. Let's go

607
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: to Washington taking on Denver. You guys know how I

608
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 1: feel about Oh Sammy Howell.

609
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 5: I was.

610
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: I thought it was a mixed bag for Howell in

611
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: his first real start last week.

612
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 3: I feel like I've been replaced as the howl sound effect. Really,

613
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 3: really really, I was gone for too long. I'm sorry,

614
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 3: that's correct.

615
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 2: We had to make do.

616
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: I thought he made some key mistakes, but also showed

617
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: decent poise, the strong arm that we knew he was

618
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: going to get in some mobility that makes him a

619
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: very promising fantasy prospect. Denver secondary's got a lot of talent,

620
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: but did just get worked by Jimmy Garoppolo, Devanta Adams,

621
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: and Jacoby So Howell's receivers Terry McLaurin, DeShawn John Dotson

622
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: maybe aren't quite at the Devontae Adams level, but they're

623
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: they're not that far off. I'm gonna go grade see

624
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: and Howell's first ever road start against a pretty talented secondary.

625
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: I want to start him, but I can't give him

626
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 1: more than a see here. Let's talk about his receivers

627
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin Terry cornerback Patrick Sertain is an absolute nightmare

628
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 1: matchup here. He held Devonte Adams to two catches for

629
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: sixteen yards on five targets in Week one, and he's

630
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: allowed thirty or fewer yards in his coverage in seven

631
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 1: straight games. And I'm worried that Patrick Surtain's gonna shadow

632
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin and that would.

633
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 2: Be game over. Now. I could be wrong.

634
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: It could be that Denver sees John Dotson the way

635
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: I see Johan Dotson is a major threat, and they're

636
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 1: gonna put certain on him. But I'm guessing that they're

637
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 1: gonna play it safe and put him on McLaurin. Dotson

638
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: paced Washington targets with seven in Week one, and each

639
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,080
Speaker 1: of the last six wide receivers to see at least

640
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: those seven targets against Denver of top sixty yards. Hopefully

641
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: Dotson sees more of Damari Mathis, who was cooked by

642
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: Jacoby Myers for two touchdowns and six receptions last week.

643
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: He gave up a passer rating of ninety seven last season,

644
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 1: so Dotson could have that advantageous matchup. I'm giving him

645
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: a C grade two only because I am worried a

646
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: little bit about Patrick sir Ten picking him up as well.

647
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: And then Logan Thomas. I liked him last week going

648
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: into the game. I love the fact that he was

649
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: targeted seven times, but he dropped. He had two ugly

650
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: drops in the game, which hurt. Still optimistic that he's

651
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 1: going to be a great fit for Eric b Enemy.

652
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: In particular, Denver only allowed one tight end reception last week,

653
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: but they were facing the Raiders without Darren Waller, so

654
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: maybe that doesn't mean anything. Se grade on Logan Thomas.

655
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: And then last week. Lastly, Brian Robinson set a career

656
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: high with sixty one percent of the snaps, but it

657
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:54,600
Speaker 1: didn't look great honestly, an NFL next Gen stats had

658
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: Robinson was one of the least effective runners in Week one,

659
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: with a negative twenty rushing yards over expected, which I

660
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: guess would also be the same as saying twenty yards

661
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 1: under expected and a long run of only seven yards

662
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: for Brian Robinson. Denver only gave up two and a

663
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: half yards per carry to the Raiders running backs, who

664
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: frankly are better, and the offseason loss of stud defensive

665
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: tackle Draymont Jones offset by the addition of lineman Zach Allen,

666
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,720
Speaker 1: who was fifteenth in Pro Football focuses win above replacement

667
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: last year, so I can only muster a SE grade

668
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 1: on Brian Robinson.

669
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 2: Let's go to the Denver side. Let's start with the

670
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 2: running game.

671
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,880
Speaker 1: Jamonte Williams saw the same number of snaps as Samaj

672
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,600
Speaker 1: p Ryan last week, but he out touched him seventeen

673
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 1: to twelve, so advantage Williams. He also got the only

674
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: goal to go carry, although he got stuffed on that play. Shockingly,

675
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: Williams led at broncos and targets last week, which I

676
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: did not see coming. The Commanders allowed the tenth fewest

677
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: rushing yards to opposing running backs last season, and they

678
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: limited James Conner and Conte Ingram to three point one

679
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: yards per carry last week. So it's a tricky matchup here.

680
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 3: I'd like to say strike Keyante Ingram's five carries for

681
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 3: negative four yards on the record.

682
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 1: Okay, deal, It wouldn't change it a line, but it

683
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,760
Speaker 1: would change it up between the time share and a

684
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 1: tougher matchup.

685
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 2: I can only get to a.

686
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: C grade on Javonte Williams. Let's go to U Samaj

687
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: p Rn, who I'm just putting on the bench here.

688
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: This is a tougher matchup than last week, and Williams

689
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: was more involved, so I can only I can't muster

690
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: a letter grade on.

691
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 2: Samaj p Rin.

692
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: How about Russell Wilson. Week one, we saw a one

693
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 1: to eighty for Russell Wilson in his first game with

694
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: Sean Payton. He completed eighty percent of his passes for

695
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. That is something that happened zero times all

696
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: of last year for Russell Wilson. I worry about a

697
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: good Washington pass rush disrupting him far more than Vegas

698
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 1: has did. But I like Sutton and Trautman. We're gonna

699
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: talk about them in a second, So Wilson is startable

700
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: for sure. I got a B grade on Russell Wilson.

701
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 1: I think we back to Russell Wilson being kind of

702
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 1: an every week starter here, Okay, Courtland Sutton, as expected,

703
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: led all Broncos receivers in snaps target it's receiving yards,

704
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: and he scored last week. Washington shut down the Cardinals

705
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: receivers last week, but it's the Cardinals receiver, so I.

706
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:08,800
Speaker 2: Don't know that that really counts for anything.

707
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: Court and Sutton's gonna see a lot of rookie cornerback

708
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,720
Speaker 1: and Manuel Forbes, who gave up a thirty one yard

709
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: catch in his coverage last week. So I like Sudden

710
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: to have a good game here in a B grade

711
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: on him as well. Jerry Judy could return, but is

712
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 1: he gonna be at full strength? Is he gonna be

713
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: at a full snap count. He plays from the slot

714
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: a lot when Sutton is available, and that'd be a

715
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 1: positive matchup against cornerback safety hybrid Ben Saint Jews, who

716
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: allowed all four of his targets to be completed in

717
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,760
Speaker 1: Week one. I'm giving a C grade to Judy. It

718
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 1: would be a B grade if he were fully healthy,

719
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: So you could maybe upgrade him if you get positive

720
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: news between now and kickoff that he's like totally ready

721
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: to go. And lastly, one of my favorite sneaky plays

722
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: of the week Adam Trautman ooh, I like him here,

723
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: Greg Dulsite out Troutman's gonna get all the tight end work.

724
00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: Last week, the Cardinals attacked the Commanders with their tight

725
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: ends with a whopping twelve targets resulting in eight catches,

726
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: second most of all teams in Week one, and Troutman

727
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: ranked second among all.

728
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,399
Speaker 2: NFL players in separation last week.

729
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 1: Troutman caught all five of his targets last week, and

730
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: that is a very safe floor from here. I like

731
00:34:17,600 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: Adam troutman sneaky play and a B grade m Adam Troutman.

732
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,720
Speaker 1: Let's go to Chicago taking on Tampa Bay. The really

733
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: disheartening power about a dismal showing for the Chicago offense.

734
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: Matt Justin Fields two designed runs all game.

735
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:38,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and oh bueno.

736
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 3: His other seven rush attempts were off script. So that's

737
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 3: that's not good from a pass perspective or a run perspective. Really,

738
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 3: you signed up for Justin Fields for the rushing yards.

739
00:34:47,640 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 3: So how have the Bucks performed against running quarterbacks the

740
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 3: last few years? In the last twenty games, only three

741
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 3: quarterbacks have topped thirty rushing yards and none have scored

742
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,880
Speaker 3: against the Buccaneers. You'd have to go back all the

743
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,239
Speaker 3: way to twenty twenty one in week fourteen when Josh

744
00:35:03,280 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 3: Allen scored to find the last quarterback rushing score. Fields

745
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 3: is only top two hundred passing yards three times in

746
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 3: his last sixteen games. It's a c for Fields this week,

747
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 3: and I think it's not going to be as good

748
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 3: as a lot of people hoped for him in most

749
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 3: games this year. DJ Moore only had two targets last week.

750
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 3: We all thought when Field's got a legit wide receiver,

751
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 3: as passing numbers would rise. Not so thus far. I'll

752
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 3: give more the lowest C grade possible, mostly because he'll

753
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 3: be lining up against a banged up Carlton Davis most often,

754
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 3: who missed practice this week with a toe injury. Cole

755
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,800
Speaker 3: Comet would be the only other Bears receiver you'd consider.

756
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,279
Speaker 3: He was targeted on sixteen percent of his routes run

757
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 3: last week, but only for three point seven air yards,

758
00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 3: and that's kind of bad. TJ. Hockinson had similar patterns

759
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 3: last week, lots of short targets and was able to

760
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 3: cobble together a decent PPR line of eight catches for

761
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 3: thirty five yards. That's like a huge upside for Comet.

762
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,920
Speaker 3: So you're not looking at touchdowns, you're not looking at yards.

763
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 3: You could see a lot of catches. Though in a

764
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 3: PPR league he'll get a C. If it's not PPR

765
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 3: in your league, he's on the bench. Rochean Johnson, Deonta

766
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:18,240
Speaker 3: Foreman Khalil ground Bear. Yes, yikes, it's coming, but Rochean

767
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 3: Johnson is going to take over this backfield, but for

768
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 3: now it's still a three way split. Rochan led the

769
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 3: Bears in backfield snaps, but all three Bears backs were

770
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 3: within a thirty percent to thirty eight percent snap share

771
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:34,880
Speaker 3: opportunities twelve for Johnson, fourteen for Groundbear, eight for Forman.

772
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 3: The difference was Rochan had more targets receptions, and he

773
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 3: did more with his touches than any other backs, including

774
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 3: a touchdown.

775
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: So when I saw rocheon Johnson getting all the targets,

776
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,800
Speaker 1: so I'm like, did I misremember his college career and

777
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 1: everything I've known about him?

778
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 2: So then I went and looked it up. He got

779
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 2: fourteen passes last year. He had seven targets last week.

780
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 3: Like what, so I bar what happened? Yeah, Jean Robinson, Oh, okay,

781
00:36:59,840 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 3: makes a lot of sense. The Bucks were good against

782
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 3: the Vikings Backs last week on the run, but they

783
00:37:05,800 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 3: did let up six catches thirty five yards and a

784
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 3: score through the air to Minnesota Backs last week. That's

785
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 3: more Roshan than anyone else on this offense. So he

786
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 3: gets the CEE and the others are on the bench.

787
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 3: On the Bucks side, it's ay start everyone kind of party.

788
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,440
Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield gets a see he was charges take a

789
00:37:21,520 --> 00:37:24,879
Speaker 3: chance on me. Quarterback Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. I'm

790
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 3: giving both B grades to got An a matchup, Yeah,

791
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 3: I think so too. From the slot, Godwin should see

792
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 3: plenty of backup slot corner Josh Blackwell, who's nursing a

793
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 3: hamstring injury. He replaces Kyler Gordon who's now on IR

794
00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 3: and he was bad.

795
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:41,480
Speaker 2: Come let's give Godwin the A.

796
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 3: Okay, fine, thank you've conned me into it. Evan should

797
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 3: see he's.

798
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,760
Speaker 2: Playing against an injured second string slack.

799
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 3: So the only issue is is Baker Mayfield still a

800
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 3: quarterback and they might just run the ball all game long.

801
00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,280
Speaker 3: Evan should see Tyreek Stevenson for the most part. Evans

802
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 3: has five inches and thirty pounds on Stevenson and he

803
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 3: gave up a tight end in his coverage last week.

804
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 3: And on the running side, Rashad White gets a B

805
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 3: grade as well. He played seventy nine point four percent

806
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 3: of Tampa snaps against Minnesota, saw as many targets as

807
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 3: back up Sean Tucker though, which was two, but he

808
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,760
Speaker 3: ran twenty one routes to Tucker's five, So the Bears

809
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 3: allowed the most receiving yardage to opposing runners last week

810
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 3: with one oh three. If you need a deep dart throw,

811
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 3: Sean Tucker just on the receiving alone could be that

812
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:34,239
Speaker 3: deep dart throw you need.

813
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's Look, there's a great matchup for him to

814
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,280
Speaker 1: get a deep pass with four to three speed.

815
00:38:40,400 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 3: It's a D grade for dart throw.

816
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, Yep, there is no D grade, but

817
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 2: we will.

818
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 3: Give you, you know, I can. We have a D

819
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 3: grade for dart throw like a guy you wouldn't start

820
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 3: unless you're desperate. No D for desperate dart throw.

821
00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 2: Hey, this is what takes a chance on the sport.

822
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 2: Next time if you love him that much.

823
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 3: I don't love him that much. I feel bad about

824
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 3: starting him, but.

825
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 2: He's not delicious.

826
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 1: No Chargers take on Tennessee here, what did we learn

827
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:10,760
Speaker 1: from the first game with new Chargers offensive coordinator Kellen

828
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: Moore thor.

829
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 4: We learned that they're gonna throw more and they're gonna

830
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 4: move faster. Last week, Justin Herbert thirty three attempts and

831
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:19,959
Speaker 4: the Chargers offense as a whole ran at the number

832
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:24,200
Speaker 4: ten adjusted pace in the NFL against this awful Titans

833
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 4: pass defense, Herbert is going to attempt more passes this week,

834
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 4: and you're going to be aiming downfield. Last year, the

835
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 4: Titans allowed the most passing yards in the entire NFL.

836
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 4: And we're worse than the NFL defending deep passes. And

837
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 4: of course they got lit up by Derek Carr last week.

838
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 2: Yes they did, and Rashid Shah, so.

839
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 4: Well, we're giving Herbert a grade of A. We're also

840
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 4: giving Keenan Allen and Mike Williams grades of A. Keenan

841
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 4: Allen was Herbert's first lead on one third of his

842
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 4: attempts last week.

843
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 2: Allen also had two point three yards per route run.

844
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 4: And in this game, he gets batched up against Titans

845
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 4: nickel cornerback Roger McCreary, who has a career one hundred

846
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 4: and eleven passer rating against.

847
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:10,680
Speaker 2: He's going to torch roger career.

848
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:12,399
Speaker 3: That's so bad.

849
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 4: As for Mike Williams, the Titans outside cornerback number one

850
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 4: Christian Fulton, questionable in this game with a hamstring injury.

851
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 4: If he doesn't go, Williams is going to get Sean

852
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 4: Murphy bunning who we talked about last week, but Sean

853
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,359
Speaker 4: Murphy bunning is not good. Williams also got forty four

854
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 4: percent of his snaps in the slot last week, so

855
00:40:31,280 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 4: he's going to get a few opportunities to torch Roger

856
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 4: McCreary as well. Moving on to Gerald Everett, we're going

857
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 4: to give him a grade of C. He had a

858
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 4: disappointing week last week with only a nine percent target

859
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 4: share and three yards of a dot. But this is

860
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 4: a solid matchup against the Titans defense that allowed the

861
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 4: most receiving yards to tight ends last year, so that

862
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 4: Titans equal opportunity. They'll let anybody have it through the air.

863
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 4: Austin Eckler is obviously doubtful with his ankle injury. He

864
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 4: hasn't practiced this week and he is unlikely to play

865
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 4: in this game, which makes Joshua Kelly the waiverwear darling

866
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 4: of this past week.

867
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 2: Of volume C grade.

868
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 4: Kelly had ninety one yards and a touchdown on sixteen

869
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 4: rushing attempts, playing forty eight percent of the snaps last.

870
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 2: Week against the Dolphins. But this is a tough matchup.

871
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 2: It is a good Titans run defense.

872
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 4: That's where they give it back right from their pass defense.

873
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,080
Speaker 4: The Titans were the number one run defense dv away

874
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 4: in the NFL last year, and last week they were

875
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 4: top twelve in both stuff rate and tackle rate. Moving

876
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 4: on to the Titans now, Ryan Tannehill. I thought about

877
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 4: a bench Gary, but I'll give him a C in

878
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,720
Speaker 4: this one. He last week was not good. No, mister

879
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 4: hell worst adjusted completion rate in the NFL last week,

880
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 4: and he was top ten in that last year. But

881
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 4: he was the worst in the NFL last week, and

882
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,280
Speaker 4: of course through three interceptions against the Saints.

883
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 2: But this is an okay matchup for him, which is

884
00:41:57,760 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 2: why I toggled him up to a SE.

885
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 4: The Chargers coughed up as you guys recall four hundred

886
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:06,319
Speaker 4: and sixty six passing yards. Yes to mister Tua last week,

887
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 4: you can't trust the Tennessee pass offense, but this is

888
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 4: an advantageous matchup for them. DeAndre Hopkins, I would give

889
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 4: him a grade seat if he plays, but he hasn't

890
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 4: practiced the past couple of days with an ankle injury

891
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 4: and is unlikely to play. He did get peppered with

892
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,359
Speaker 4: thirteen targets in Week one, but was locked down by

893
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:25,840
Speaker 4: Marshawn Lattimore, So I would give him a see if

894
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 4: he plays, because the Chargers cornerbacks j C. Jackson and

895
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:32,439
Speaker 4: Michael Davis, they were in charge of the whole two.

896
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 2: Thing with two of goaduts.

897
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,720
Speaker 4: Those two allowed one hundred and eighty nine receiving yards

898
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 4: and three touchdowns on targets last week. Traylon Burks, speaking

899
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:42,879
Speaker 4: of disappointing weeks, I will give him a grade to see,

900
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 4: even though I'm a little bit troubled by what I

901
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 4: saw out of him last week, mostly getting out targeted

902
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 4: by Nick Westbrook Atquina.

903
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:53,239
Speaker 2: That's nerve. That is worrying. It's not good, not good.

904
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:57,399
Speaker 4: But if especially if DeAndre Hopkins is out, you give

905
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 4: him you know, I mean, he's got to be in

906
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 4: a starting lineup and maybe he has a little bit

907
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:02,879
Speaker 4: offside just from the targets if that was the case.

908
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 4: Chicka Konquo, though, I think this is a really good

909
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 4: matchup for him. I'm giving that coming.

910
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 2: He bounce back coming.

911
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,080
Speaker 4: He only had two targets against the Saints last week,

912
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 4: but that's a bad matchup. The Saints are awesome against

913
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 4: tight ends. Chick had seventy four percent routes per dropback rate.

914
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 4: Last week, Charters copped up the second highest yards per reception.

915
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 2: To tight ends last year. We're giving chick a B.

916
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: Given chigabe all right, that to be a big, big

917
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 1: upgrade over last week's goose egg for Chiga konkquo. Let's

918
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 1: hope that that is the case. When we come back

919
00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:36,120
Speaker 1: three tough questions. See if you can play along, go

934
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:34,440

Speaker 2: Thor for you, I think. But you'd have to turn

938
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,200
Speaker 2: your back on your a'm a motern. We know you

939
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:51,840
Speaker 2: don't want to do that. Never could. This is a

940
00:44:51,880 --> 00:44:53,919
Speaker 2: game we call three tough questions. You can play along.

941
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 2: I question number one.

942
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: What's the appropriate level of concern for Bijon Robinson?

943
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 2: Is is it none?

944
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 3: Is it some?

945
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: Or is it a bowel loosening level of existential dread?

946
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 2: We start with Matt Harrison.

947
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's all panic about this Falcons player. He was

948
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 3: on the field for more snaps than al Jier and

949
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:22,319
Speaker 3: the opportunities were nearly even plus concerning. In a concerning week,

950
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 3: he was the number nine running back in PPR, so

951
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,520
Speaker 3: Desmond Ritter's average depth of target was a league worst

952
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:32,439
Speaker 3: three point two yards. That plays into a pass catching

953
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 3: running back strength. So no concern for Bijon, but it

954
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 3: makes the appropriate level of concern for Kyle Pitts and

955
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:42,000
Speaker 3: Drake London worse than blowed like that plane that just

956
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 3: got turned around last week because some dude had diarrhea.

957
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:46,719
Speaker 3: All up and down the aisle. How do we set

958
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:50,240
Speaker 3: the plane down level of concern for pits in London?

959
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 2: Thank you for rerouting the entire question.

960
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 3: You're welcome. I'm going to get a bonus point on

961
00:45:57,320 --> 00:45:58,399
Speaker 3: that one. I'm pretty sure.

962
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: Isn't it nice so we don't have a blowed sounder

963
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: thor what's the appropriate level of concern for Bjon Robinson?

964
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 2: Is it none? Is it some? Or is it a

965
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 2: bowel loosening level of existential dread? That's a tough act

966
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 2: to follow. There is none, zero Zilich. In fact, I

967
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 2: would be looking.

968
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 4: I would be you know, kicking the tires on his

969
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,839
Speaker 4: owners to see if anyone is slightly panicking and try

970
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:23,800
Speaker 4: to buy on Bijon.

971
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:25,960
Speaker 2: Bijon gonna get a lot of usage this year.

972
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 1: The correct answer is some, and not just because of

973
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 1: the draft actuity mid first round.

974
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 2: I know that is not the issue.

975
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:36,440
Speaker 1: Arthur Smith has used a rotation throughout his entire tenure

976
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, and you know what, several of us talked

977
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: about exactly this happening in the preseason. We were like,

978
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 1: you go, we don't know that Bijon's going to make

979
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 1: good on everybody's assumption that he's going to be the

980
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: man Tyler is Algiers not going anywhere, and that includes

981
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: the goal line and touchdowns count. And that's why they

982
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:54,879
Speaker 1: answer he's a good running back. He is a good

983
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,879
Speaker 1: running back deserving of the touches he gets. That's why

984
00:46:57,920 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 1: the answer can't be none when you're talking about a

985
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:02,879
Speaker 1: fer who's gonna give up the ball at the goal

986
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:06,160
Speaker 1: line and lose a lot of carries. Now, fortunately, Robinson's

987
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: value as a receiver is apparently so evident that even

988
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:14,879
Speaker 1: the thick skulled Arthur Smith realizes that Robinson's got game

989
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:18,400
Speaker 1: breaking receiving chops and it's got to continue using him

990
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 1: that way.

991
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:21,480
Speaker 3: Tough Question number two.

992
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 1: The appropriate level of concern for Christian Kirk is that none,

993
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 1: some or a bowel loosening level of existential dread thor.

994
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 2: I'm going to go some on that one.

995
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 4: They got some mouse to feed there and Tila has

996
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 4: been a little bit inconsistent.

997
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 2: I'll put it the mid range on this one.

998
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:45,800
Speaker 1: You can't say zero, Matt appriate level of concern for

999
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,719
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk, None, some or blow.

1000
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 3: I'm with thor definitely some here. I don't think we

1001
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 3: saw Zay Jones taking snaps and targets from Kirk. But

1002
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,040
Speaker 3: that's what happened last week. It was worth noting that

1003
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:58,800
Speaker 3: Kenny Moore is probably Indy's best corner and he plays

1004
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 3: the slot, which is where Christian Kirk is. So Jacksonville

1005
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:03,719
Speaker 3: picked on the outsides a lot last week. It could

1006
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 3: have just been game script, but there is some concern

1007
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,480
Speaker 3: since there's a new number one receiver there in Calvin Ridley,

1008
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 3: and it's clear that not Kirk is not that guy anymore.

1009
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: The correct answer is, hey, bowel loosening, Oh, existential dread.

1010
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,439
Speaker 1: We're talking about a two target, one catch game for Kirk.

1011
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 1: And so you try and you try not to overreact

1012
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:23,360
Speaker 1: to just week one, right, and the sample size is

1013
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 1: obviously just one game, that's small.

1014
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:26,360
Speaker 2: But here's the big concern.

1015
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:30,200
Speaker 1: Usage. He was on the field for only twenty three

1016
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 1: passing downs. That was lower than any game from last year,

1017
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:37,400
Speaker 1: and a fifty percent decrease from his average number of

1018
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:41,239
Speaker 1: games last year, average number of snaps from last year. Undoubtedly,

1019
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk's gonna have some good games smattering in. But

1020
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:46,839
Speaker 1: here's the problem. You're not gonna know when they're coming.

1021
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 1: It's gonna be very tricky to identify in advance, particularly

1022
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 1: if Zay Jones continues to get twenty plus snaps from

1023
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 1: the slot. Evan Ingram got twenty snaps from the slot,

1024
00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 1: so you know, sometimes we can id good slot matchups.

1025
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 1: It's gonna be hard to know if they're gonna keep

1026
00:49:05,040 --> 00:49:07,840
Speaker 1: putting Jay Jones in there and we're gonna have Christian

1027
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:11,520
Speaker 1: Kirk on the bench. I'm very, very concerned. Christian Kirk

1028
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 1: was roughly the tenth highest scoring wide receiver last year.

1029
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 1: Everything every fear you had about Calvin Ridley taking that work,

1030
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 1: We're all realized in Week one. I don't think it's

1031
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:27,359
Speaker 1: a mirage tough question Number three, are you selling high

1032
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,799
Speaker 1: on Tua Tongo via Looa Matt?

1033
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 3: I think everyone has the same knowledge surrounding to us,

1034
00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 3: so I'm not even sure this is a cell high moment.

1035
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:39,320
Speaker 3: I think it's too transparent. Granted, if someone's willing to

1036
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 3: offer you, like a top six quarterback for two US

1037
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,360
Speaker 3: straight up, I'd probably do it, but we.

1038
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 2: All know it.

1039
00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 3: It's about the injury with to Us, so he has

1040
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 3: that big red flag on his value, and I think

1041
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 3: that's drowning that value quite a bit. I think he's

1042
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 3: gonna need to play a good two thirds of the

1043
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 3: season before he starts to shed that injury tag. And

1044
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:58,239
Speaker 3: if he's healthy right now, I'd rather just hold thor

1045
00:49:58,600 --> 00:49:59,879
Speaker 3: are you selling high on two?

1046
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 4: Not only am I not selling high, I would buy

1047
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 4: high on Tua if people out there don't understand how

1048
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:08,320
Speaker 4: good Tua is. Last year, you look at the passing metrics,

1049
00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 4: he was top twelve in every efficiency metric that exists.

1050
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,800
Speaker 4: He has the most dangerous receiving weapons in the NFL.

1051
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 4: On a pass happy offense that does not have good

1052
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 4: running backs, They're going to keep airing it out every

1053
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 4: single week. As long as he stays healthy, you're going

1054
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:23,120
Speaker 4: to keep putting up huge numbers every week.

1055
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:27,360
Speaker 1: I am not selling high on tool, but here's what

1056
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 1: I am doing. I am going to reinforce my quarterback

1057
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: position by finding a relatively safe backup quarterback, like maybe

1058
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 1: even Baker Mayfield, who we've just we highlighted as a

1059
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: play last week and this week. You still I feel

1060
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 1: like the upside is league winning upside with Tua. So

1061
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 1: I can't take him off my roster, but I still

1062
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:51,360
Speaker 1: want to have somebody else that just in case that

1063
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:53,359
Speaker 1: could step in and it's probably not Mike White.

1064
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 3: You want to have quarterback number thirteen on your roster, twelf,

1065
00:50:56,600 --> 00:50:56,840
Speaker 3: It's a.

1066
00:50:56,800 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: Great way to put it. That's even better way to

1067
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 1: put it. I'll go trade for quarterback thirteen, who's sitting

1068
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:05,399
Speaker 1: on somebody's as somebody's second quarterback, and he won't cost

1069
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:07,720
Speaker 1: me a lot. I like that as an even better answer.

1070
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 1: Well done, thanks, you should really co host your own

1071
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 1: fantasy show. Maybe let's go to the matchups. Oh, hey

1072
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:18,280
Speaker 1: to me, great Bay taking taking out Atlanta.

1073
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:19,360
Speaker 2: I'm next?

1074
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 3: How about that?

1075
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:20,439
Speaker 5: Wow?

1076
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:23,839
Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of Atlanta, let's just pick up right where

1077
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:24,440
Speaker 2: we left off.

1078
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 1: Stupid Arthur Smith, Jhon Robinson and Tyler L's year both

1079
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: get B grades here. This is reason number one thousand

1080
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 1: to do the opposite in the first round. Here, tenth

1081
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 1: tenth rounder Tyler El's year got more snaps, more carries,

1082
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 1: and more rushing yards than first rounder Brian Bijehon Robinson.

1083
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 1: Let's talk about this matchup though in more detail. Algier

1084
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 1: got the money carries, netted all three carries from inside

1085
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 1: the five yard line. He scored twice. Robinson helped his

1086
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: cause with the six catches on six targets. Robinson also

1087
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 1: ran routes on ninety percent of his passing snaps, which

1088
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:59,760
Speaker 1: I love. The Packers, though, allowed the second most running

1089
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: back for the second most running back yards in Week one,

1090
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 1: So that's a nice opportunity for Jon Robinson here. And

1091
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 1: if you're in a PPR league, we'll upgrade him to

1092
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:09,640
Speaker 1: an A. If you're not, we'll go with a B

1093
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 1: grade in Robinson. Alzier probably continues to get a high

1094
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 1: level of work against a suspect run defense for the Packers.

1095
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:18,400
Speaker 1: He's a safe be play here and I wouldn't be

1096
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:20,680
Speaker 1: surprised if he scored, which would put him into a

1097
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 1: range as well. The passing game, though obviously, is a

1098
00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 1: total disaster here. I would love to say something good

1099
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 1: about Drake London in a what should be rebound game

1100
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 1: from the Goose Egg in Week one, but.

1101
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:36,880
Speaker 2: It's Arthur Smith.

1102
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 1: There's no guarantee there's a rebound coming whatsoever. And the

1103
00:52:40,320 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 1: Packers secondary really good.

1104
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 2: Here's the problem. If JayR Alexander's gonna shadow anybody, it's

1105
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:49,320
Speaker 2: gonna be Drake London. Who else would you bother.

1106
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 1: To shadow on that defense or that offense. I can

1107
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 1: advocate for London, Jay R Alexander last week, gave up

1108
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:58,439
Speaker 1: one catch for four yards in his coverage. DJ Moore

1109
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:02,320
Speaker 1: silenced by the Packer last week, and frankly, Drake London

1110
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 1: is not as good as Dj Moore. Bench grade for

1111
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 1: Drake London coming off the gooseg and for Kyle Pitts troublingly.

1112
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 1: Pits only on the field for thirty one snaps in

1113
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 1: the opener and he only got three targets. Fortunately, one

1114
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: of the three targets was a thirty yard reception in

1115
00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 1: double coverage on an underthrown pass from Desmond Ritter. Desmond

1116
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 1: Ridder may not pan out by the way.

1117
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:30,279
Speaker 3: Jem Taylor. Heineke is the backup there. I think that

1118
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:31,799
Speaker 3: that's coming sooner than later.

1119
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,240
Speaker 2: Desmond Mitter Desmond Minner.

1120
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: Last week, the Packers covered Cole Comet with seven different dbs,

1121
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:43,000
Speaker 1: a strategy that's still allowed Comet five catches for forty

1122
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 1: four yards. So I'm giving a C grade to Kyle

1123
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 1: Pitts because I don't think the Packers have really got

1124
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: a sound defensive strategy against mobile athletic tight ends like

1125
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:56,879
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts, like Cole commit last week, So we'll give

1126
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,399
Speaker 1: him the SE grade. Let's go to the Green Bay side.

1127
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones very unlikely to play after missing all week.

1128
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:07,400
Speaker 1: That puts AJ Dillon into a range. No, I mean,

1129
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:11,480
Speaker 1: here's the now. There's been four different instances where Aaron

1130
00:54:11,560 --> 00:54:15,359
Speaker 1: Jones hasn't played, and AJ Dillon, presumably sitting on big

1131
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:18,839
Speaker 1: games right, hasn't panned out that way. In those four games,

1132
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 1: he's totaled only one hundred and forty eight rushing yards

1133
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 1: and has failed to score in any of them. So

1134
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:27,200
Speaker 1: he's by no means an automatic here. But this feels

1135
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 1: like a smash spot. Atlanta just got rocked by the

1136
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:34,560
Speaker 1: opposing runners from the one dimensional Panthers offense, who totaled

1137
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 1: one hundred thirty two yards and five yards per carry.

1138
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:39,279
Speaker 1: If Dylan's gonna get most of one hundred and thirty

1139
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 1: two yards and five yards per carry and presumably goal

1140
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:46,320
Speaker 1: line work, gotta give him an A grade. Come on,

1141
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:50,840
Speaker 1: AJ Dillon's step up on this opportunity. I don't like

1142
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 1: hopeful A grades like fingers crossed. A grade that's terrible.

1143
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:57,240
Speaker 1: I'm given the A grade. I gotta I gotta stand

1144
00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 1: for something here. We're gonna I'm not We're gonna give

1145
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:02,359
Speaker 1: the grade. Okay, let's go to the passing game here.

1146
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:05,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with Christian Watson, so he got limited

1147
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:09,399
Speaker 1: practice on Friday, But I hate rolling into a game

1148
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:15,400
Speaker 1: with a hamstrung wide receiver literally at full strength. Christian

1149
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:19,960
Speaker 1: Watson would probably draw the Falcons. One really good corner, Ajterrell,

1150
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:21,880
Speaker 1: coming off a game in which he allowed just nineteen

1151
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:25,480
Speaker 1: coverage yards. Terrell has allowed just two receptions for eighteen

1152
00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 1: yards per game over his last eight games. Those are

1153
00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:33,320
Speaker 1: amazing coverage numbers for Ajterrell. But is a gimpy Christian

1154
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:36,680
Speaker 1: Watson going to get AJ Terrell or did they decide

1155
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 1: to put him on a full strength Romeo Dobbs. I

1156
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 1: don't know, So I can only give the C grade

1157
00:55:42,080 --> 00:55:44,359
Speaker 1: to Watson with the hamstring, with the prospect of him

1158
00:55:44,360 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 1: maybe drawing AJ Terrell.

1159
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:49,320
Speaker 2: I can only go C grade on Christian Watson. Romeo Dubbs,

1160
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:51,319
Speaker 2: I got a B grade on him right now.

1161
00:55:51,560 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 1: But again, if Ajterrell they decide to deploy Terrell on Dubbs,

1162
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 1: I think it's game over for him. So there's some

1163
00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 1: caution here. Only one wide receiver is top seven seventy

1164
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 1: yards against Atlanta in their last eight games, and only

1165
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 1: three of top sixty yards. It's not much, so you'll

1166
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 1: have to You'll have to do your own bath on

1167
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 1: this if aj Troll doesn't go on Romeo Dobbs, and

1168
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:15,239
Speaker 1: he's got way more favorable matchups with d Alford and

1169
00:56:15,360 --> 00:56:18,120
Speaker 1: Tree Trey Flowers, who combined to give up ten of

1170
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:20,799
Speaker 1: twelve pass attempts in their coverage last week. So I'm

1171
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:22,800
Speaker 1: still sitting out a B grade for Romeo Dobbs. I

1172
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:24,719
Speaker 1: think I'd still start him, but just know there's some

1173
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 1: danger here. How about loose Luke musk Rave loose mutton,

1174
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:32,200
Speaker 1: loose mutton. I have a sheep on all the animals,

1175
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 1: not the half I have no shock on.

1176
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 2: Thank you for loose Mutt.

1177
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:38,280
Speaker 3: That's his new nickname.

1178
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 2: Very active.

1179
00:56:39,719 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 1: In the first game, he was on the field for

1180
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 1: seventy five percent of the Packers snaps, ran a healthy

1181
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:48,280
Speaker 1: twenty four routes. Last week, the Panthers Titan Hayden Hurst

1182
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:51,360
Speaker 1: led the team in targets, receptions, receiving yards and touchdowns.

1183
00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 2: B grade of Luke musk Ray for loose mutton, loose

1184
00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 2: mutton chop and where does that leave us?

1185
00:56:59,320 --> 00:56:59,440
Speaker 5: Uh?

1186
00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 1: Reed, I'm putting him on the bench, although I'll give

1187
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:04,759
Speaker 1: him a C grade if Christian Watson is not able

1188
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 1: to go here. I liked that he was targeted five

1189
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 1: times in his NFL debut last week. But if Christian

1190
00:57:09,719 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 1: Watson plays, I don't know that he's on the field enough,

1191
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 1: so we'll move him to the bench. That wraps up

1192
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 1: that matchup. Let's go to the final matchup with a

1193
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:21,160
Speaker 1: segment New York Giants taking on Arizona matt It all

1194
00:57:21,280 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 1: went wrong for the Giants and the opener. Now they

1195
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 1: get what appears to be on paper to be the

1196
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 1: worst team in the NFL, the Arizona Cardinals. Is this

1197
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:31,040
Speaker 1: the bounce back most people expect?

1198
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1199
00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 3: Absolutely. You have to throw out last week since the

1200
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 3: Dallas game script got wonky right away. Saquon still went

1201
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 3: for six yards per carry last week against a much

1202
00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:42,720
Speaker 3: tougher Cowboys defense. Don't panic. He's in a grade Daniel

1203
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:45,240
Speaker 3: Jones and Darren Waller. I'm willing to give a pass

1204
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 3: to as well. Dallas's defense might be the best in

1205
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 3: the league, and they were just teeing off against Jones

1206
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 3: and the negative game scripts Sunday night. Jones was sacked

1207
00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:56,120
Speaker 3: seven times, which is two more times than Darren Waller

1208
00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 3: was targeted. Arizona is not that defense. The thing to

1209
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 3: watch out four. Darren Waller's hamstring is flaring up. He

1210
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 3: was limited in Thursday's practice, although Brian Dable said he

1211
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 3: was moving around good and they.

1212
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 1: Took him off the injury port entirely on Friday, So

1213
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:12,919
Speaker 1: I'm optimistic that we're going to get the real Darren

1214
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 1: Waller here.

1215
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:16,360
Speaker 3: Yep, we really didn't learn much about the Giants wide

1216
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:19,400
Speaker 3: receivers last week. Slayton and Campbell led snap counts at

1217
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 3: about sixty seven percent apiece. Isaiah Hodgins was in there,

1218
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 3: Jalen Hyatt, Sterling Shepherd still in play, Wandale Robinson's looming.

1219
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 3: You're benching all of your Giants wide receivers. Let's go

1220
00:58:29,960 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 3: to the Cardinals and we'll talk about the passing game

1221
00:58:32,120 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 3: as a whole. Three players tied for the most routes

1222
00:58:34,760 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 3: run for the Cardinals in Week one, Zach Ertz, Marquis Brown,

1223
00:58:38,080 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 3: and Michael Wilson. Now Ertz had ten targets, which is

1224
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 3: one of the reasons why he might take a chance

1225
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 3: on my receiver and gets the B grade here. Brown

1226
00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 3: only had five. Wilson had four dobbs through thirty total

1227
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:51,800
Speaker 3: passes for only one hundred and thirty two yards. It's

1228
00:58:51,840 --> 00:58:54,880
Speaker 3: going to be an ultra shallow passing game. You can't

1229
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:58,080
Speaker 3: start anyone in the passing game until Zach Ertz until

1230
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 3: further notice, and then James. He gets a B grade.

1231
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:04,120
Speaker 3: He got nineteen touches to Keyante Ingram's five, and I

1232
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 3: mentioned earlier Ingram had five rushing attempts for negative four

1233
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 3: yards and zero targets. That's not how you get on

1234
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:15,720
Speaker 3: the field. More No, U Connor did catch all five

1235
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:19,920
Speaker 3: of his targets. Game script might always phase out Connor somewhat,

1236
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 3: but it should still be fifteen to twenty touches per game,

1237
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 3: simply because he's the only back in town. The Giants

1238
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 3: gave up one hundred and two yards and two rushing

1239
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 3: scores to the Dallas Backs last week, both bottom eight

1240
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 3: numbers in the league, so it's a fine matchup. Connor

1241
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 3: has been also limited in practice with a calf injury,

1242
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 3: although all signs point to him playing this week with

1243
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 3: little issue.

1244
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson takes over at quarterback when we come back.

1245
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 1: We'll tell you what to expect from the Jets is

1246
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 1: they take on a ferocious Dallas pass rush feels like

1247
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 1: a mismatch. What does it mean for Garrett Wilson in particular?

1248
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:59,440
Speaker 1: Four We'll tell you what to expect when we come back.

1249
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 1: I see Football Weekly, Welcome back, Fantasy Football Weekly. Another

1250
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 1: block oh matchups for you, beginning with the Jets taking

1251
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 1: on Dallas and Thor. I think the Vikings knew what

1252
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:42,680
Speaker 1: they were doing when they got out of Dalvin cooked.

1253
01:00:42,680 --> 01:00:47,479
Speaker 1: To my eyes, Dalvin cooked, he's done.

1254
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:51,080
Speaker 4: I agree with you, great bench here, He's gonna have

1255
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 4: to show quite a bit more than he did last

1256
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:55,240
Speaker 4: week to get back into a starting lineup. They gave

1257
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:58,400
Speaker 4: him fifty percent of the snaps and on sixteen touches,

1258
01:00:58,480 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 4: Dalvin only a crewed nine yards.

1259
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:02,200
Speaker 2: But it gets a little bit worse than that.

1260
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:05,240
Speaker 4: Thirty fourth out of fifty five qualifying running backs in

1261
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 4: yards after contact per attempt.

1262
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:08,080
Speaker 2: Not good.

1263
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 4: Breese Hall sort of the other way, the total other way.

1264
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:14,560
Speaker 4: I'm gonna give him a grade B in this matchup.

1265
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:18,200
Speaker 4: Hall only played thirty one percent of snaps last week,

1266
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:20,680
Speaker 4: but he was hitting home runs. He was hitting dingers

1267
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:23,600
Speaker 4: every time they gave him the ball, A super ridiculous

1268
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 4: ten point six yards after contact for Breesehall last week

1269
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:30,160
Speaker 4: in ten attempts against the Bills en route to one

1270
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 4: hundred and forty seven total yards. The Cowboys were middle

1271
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:36,360
Speaker 4: of the pack an explosive run rate allowed last year,

1272
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 4: So an okay matchup for Breese Hall will give him

1273
01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:42,200
Speaker 4: a bee Garrett, moving on to the Jets passing attack,

1274
01:01:42,280 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 4: I'm sorry New York fans, Garrett Wilson will give him

1275
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:47,920
Speaker 4: a C grade in this. I think this is going

1276
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 4: to be a repeat of the Giants game where he

1277
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:52,120
Speaker 4: got his day saved by a touchdown. That's what he's

1278
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 4: gonna need to get bailed out at this one. Trevion

1279
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 4: Diggs and Stefan Gilmore are problems. The bigger problem for

1280
01:01:58,280 --> 01:02:01,600
Speaker 4: him is Zach Wilson. Zach Wills said, you got to

1281
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:03,480
Speaker 4: have him on the bench, and I got all the

1282
01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:06,000
Speaker 4: other Jets pass catchers on the bench with him because

1283
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:09,560
Speaker 4: of him. But Zach Wilson last week fifth worst passing

1284
01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 4: grade in the NFL Cup and speaking to the matchup,

1285
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:15,920
Speaker 4: Cowboys held Giants to three point six yards per attempt

1286
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:19,439
Speaker 4: last week and Daniel Jones was under duress all game.

1287
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:21,760
Speaker 4: Zach Wilson going to be seeing ghosts in this one.

1288
01:02:22,240 --> 01:02:25,600
Speaker 4: Moving to Dallas Dak Prescott. I have a bench grade

1289
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 4: on him fourteenth in adjusted completion rate last week. The Jets,

1290
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:32,280
Speaker 4: on the other hand, last week held Josh Allen to

1291
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 4: the fifth lowest passer rating and obviously picked him off

1292
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:38,040
Speaker 4: three times. The Jets cornerbacks are awesome. Their pass defense

1293
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:41,640
Speaker 4: is really good. Ceedee Lamb, who I know banged the

1294
01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:44,800
Speaker 4: table for last week. He came through last week against

1295
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:47,840
Speaker 4: the Giants fifty three point eight percent of Dallas's receiving

1296
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:51,600
Speaker 4: yards and three point nine yards per route run. Seventy

1297
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:54,600
Speaker 4: six percent of lamb snaps the last week came from

1298
01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:57,480
Speaker 4: the slot, So this is very good news because he's

1299
01:02:57,480 --> 01:03:00,160
Speaker 4: gonna avoid Sauce Gardner in this matchup, at least on

1300
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:02,680
Speaker 4: you know, projected three quarters of his snaps or so.

1301
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 4: Jet slot cornerback Michael Carter two, not Michael Carter one.

1302
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:10,000
Speaker 4: Michael Carter two not nearly as good as their outside guys.

1303
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 4: Carter allowed a seventy point nine percent catch rate last year,

1304
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 4: but the game script could you know, could end up

1305
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 4: flipping on Lamb this week. I give him a B

1306
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:21,600
Speaker 4: in this one, assuming it's gonna be a little bit

1307
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:24,440
Speaker 4: more run heavy. Brandon Cooks didn't practice on Wednesday or

1308
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:26,800
Speaker 4: Thursday with his MCLs brain. We're gonna give him a

1309
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:30,040
Speaker 4: bench grade in this game. Very if he to play,

1310
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:32,800
Speaker 4: I'm benching the rest of the pass catchers on that team.

1311
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:35,240
Speaker 4: Michael Gallup, I guess you could say low end option

1312
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:38,800
Speaker 4: potentially in this one, but a bad matchup for him

1313
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:42,600
Speaker 4: only at Brandon Cooks does not play. Jake Ferguson, you're

1314
01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:45,240
Speaker 4: keeping on the bench. As for Dallas, his running game

1315
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:48,360
Speaker 4: better match up there. I'm giving Tony Pollard a grade

1316
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:52,360
Speaker 4: of a running back five in Fantasy last week. Eighty

1317
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 4: two total yards on sixteen touches. He got every Dallas

1318
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 4: rushing attempt inside the opponent's five yard line last week.

1319
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:02,200
Speaker 4: I think that's really good news for him. You know,

1320
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:05,720
Speaker 4: people have been nippicking his strength and the short yarded stuff.

1321
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 4: Dallas obviously trust him with that. This year, the Jets

1322
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:11,400
Speaker 4: have a middle of the pack run defense. They were

1323
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 4: number twenty in explosive run rate allowed last year, so

1324
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:16,480
Speaker 4: Pollard might hit some dingers in this game.

1325
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:17,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. I like Pollard a lot.

1326
01:04:17,800 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 3: Here.

1327
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 2: I'm with you on that.

1328
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 1: Jacksonville takes on Kansas City on the Kansas City side obviously,

1329
01:04:22,360 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is an A. Travis kelce Everything indication is

1330
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:27,080
Speaker 1: he's going to play, which is great. Only one missed

1331
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:29,720
Speaker 1: game would be a win given what we thought might

1332
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,680
Speaker 1: be the case. Jaguars just gave up fifty nine tight

1333
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 1: end receiving yards to Indianapolis's anonymous tight ends last week,

1334
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:38,680
Speaker 1: So I'm going right back to the A grade on

1335
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey. All the wide outs are on the bench

1336
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:46,360
Speaker 1: at this until further now, yeah, exactly until at this point,

1337
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:48,160
Speaker 1: Like last year, you're not going to trust any of them.

1338
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:51,120
Speaker 1: Last week, mvs and sky Moore ran the most routes,

1339
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:53,040
Speaker 1: but it was still less than half of the routes.

1340
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:56,080
Speaker 1: There's just nobody on the field enough and no consistent performers,

1341
01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 1: and you're never going to guess, right.

1342
01:04:57,880 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1343
01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:01,400
Speaker 1: If you think about chasing Rashi touchdown from week one,

1344
01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:04,880
Speaker 1: he was on the field for twelve plass plays.

1345
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:05,440
Speaker 2: That's it.

1346
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:07,440
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just you just you can't do it all.

1347
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:09,480
Speaker 1: They're on the bench, even though somebody's gonna have a

1348
01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:12,920
Speaker 1: good game. Good luck guessing. Isaiah Pachecko just the C

1349
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:15,280
Speaker 1: grade here. I thought it was a mixed bag for

1350
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:18,920
Speaker 1: Pacheco in the opener with just eight Mundane rushes and

1351
01:05:19,080 --> 01:05:21,560
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards Hilaire frustratingly involved.

1352
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:25,320
Speaker 2: The good news was for targets, which I liked.

1353
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:28,200
Speaker 1: That was his second biggest target game and by the way,

1354
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:31,200
Speaker 1: caught them all, second biggest target game of his career.

1355
01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:34,360
Speaker 1: Jaguars were a good run defense last year, and they

1356
01:05:34,440 --> 01:05:38,000
Speaker 1: dominated the opener, hammering the Colts runners, including Dion Jackson,

1357
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 1: who averaged one point one yards per carry in the opener.

1358
01:05:41,480 --> 01:05:44,200
Speaker 1: So I don't love Pacheco here this past This game

1359
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:46,160
Speaker 1: is going to go through Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.

1360
01:05:46,520 --> 01:05:47,840
Speaker 2: Let's go to the Jaguars side.

1361
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:51,920
Speaker 1: Let's start with Travis etn look good against the Colts

1362
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:54,320
Speaker 1: last week, but this is a much tougher matchup, and

1363
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:58,320
Speaker 1: our worries about Tank Bigsby's role at the goal line

1364
01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:01,920
Speaker 1: and as a receiver were realized.

1365
01:06:01,800 --> 01:06:04,480
Speaker 2: This in the opening game. There was a lot I

1366
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:07,320
Speaker 2: it's a concern. Through one week.

1367
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:10,320
Speaker 1: The Chiefs run defense ranks thirtieth by Pro Football Focus,

1368
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:12,440
Speaker 1: but they get back Chris Jones and that should make

1369
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:15,080
Speaker 1: them more formidable here. I've got a B grade on

1370
01:06:15,160 --> 01:06:17,720
Speaker 1: Travis et On, but we need to keep an eye

1371
01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:21,480
Speaker 1: on Tank Bigsby. Box scored did not well anybody any

1372
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 1: other of fumble. So there's that Tanks for nothing.

1373
01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:30,680
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, here's the crazy stat.

1374
01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:35,000
Speaker 1: He finished with nineteen rushing yards and fourteen yards after contact.

1375
01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:38,440
Speaker 1: I don't know quite how you do thirteen rushing yards

1376
01:06:38,440 --> 01:06:40,800
Speaker 1: and fourteen yards after contact. That tells me you're getting

1377
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:43,480
Speaker 1: met in the backfield on every carry. Yeah, so I

1378
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:45,520
Speaker 1: think that's a lot of what happened with Tank Bigsby.

1379
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:48,520
Speaker 1: But I like that he caught four passes. This is

1380
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 1: gonna he's gonna be an aerial contributor and you know,

1381
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:53,600
Speaker 1: only on the field fifteen snaps in week one. So

1382
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:56,400
Speaker 1: I'm keeping Tank on the bench, but optimistic that it'll

1383
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:58,160
Speaker 1: his role will grow across the season.

1384
01:06:58,680 --> 01:07:00,880
Speaker 2: Uh, let's go to the passing game. Already talked about

1385
01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:01,680
Speaker 2: Christian Kirk.

1386
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 1: Earlier in this show, very worried that he didn't get

1387
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:07,440
Speaker 1: much time, only on the field for half of the

1388
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:10,040
Speaker 1: plays and then running from the slot. He goes up

1389
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:12,960
Speaker 1: against a very good cornerback, Trent McDuffie, a first rounder

1390
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 1: from last year who gave up thirty eight yards in

1391
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:17,920
Speaker 1: his coverage in the opener, not an impossible assignment. But

1392
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:20,120
Speaker 1: I'm leaving Christian Kirk on the bench until I see

1393
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 1: him on the field more often.

1394
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:23,640
Speaker 2: How about Calvin Ridley?

1395
01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:27,520
Speaker 1: Everything you could have hoped for, and all the people

1396
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:31,680
Speaker 1: that drafted him early, congratulations because you got paid. He

1397
01:07:31,840 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 1: enjoyed a massive thirty four percent target share in the opener.

1398
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:37,240
Speaker 1: He ran over his half of his routes from the

1399
01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 1: left side of the field, where he's going to match

1400
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:41,760
Speaker 1: up with cornerback Lagerius Snead. Sneid played hurt in the

1401
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 1: opener and gave up one hundred percent of his throws

1402
01:07:44,040 --> 01:07:47,840
Speaker 1: in his coverage while missing four tackles. Sneid got worked

1403
01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:50,120
Speaker 1: in that opening game, but he's had ten days to

1404
01:07:50,200 --> 01:07:53,760
Speaker 1: get healthier, and Sneid played pretty well last year. Still

1405
01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:56,400
Speaker 1: a grade for Calvin Ridley.

1406
01:07:56,840 --> 01:07:59,640
Speaker 2: If you're going to take Chase Zay Jones, I don't

1407
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:01,480
Speaker 2: know that I did like that he was on the

1408
01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:02,520
Speaker 2: field as often as he was.

1409
01:08:02,640 --> 01:08:04,680
Speaker 1: They moved him all across the field. He's gonna line

1410
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 1: up against all the different cornerbacks. They might be able

1411
01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 1: to manufacture some opportunities for Zay Jones in this one

1412
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:12,520
Speaker 1: C grade if you need to use him, and that

1413
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:16,080
Speaker 1: leaves us at the quarterback position, and let's go to

1414
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:18,759
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, who I do like in this game. Chiefs

1415
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:22,080
Speaker 1: allowed the most passing touchdowns last season. Now they did

1416
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:24,639
Speaker 1: play each other. Lawrence only mustered two hundred and seventeen

1417
01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:27,519
Speaker 1: yards in one touchdown against Kansas City in that playoff game.

1418
01:08:27,920 --> 01:08:30,599
Speaker 1: But the addition of Calvin Ridley makes a big difference here,

1419
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:32,880
Speaker 1: and we're going to go with a B grade on

1420
01:08:33,040 --> 01:08:38,639
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. Final matchup of this segment Matt Miami taking

1421
01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:42,280
Speaker 1: on New England Tua with a league leading four hundred

1422
01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:45,960
Speaker 1: and sixty six yards. But this is a much tougher

1423
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:49,799
Speaker 1: matchup against the New England defense that corralled the Eagles

1424
01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:50,599
Speaker 1: in Week one.

1425
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:54,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is a much tougher defense. But even without

1426
01:08:54,479 --> 01:08:58,080
Speaker 3: starting tackle Tarren Armstead, the Chargers did not sack Tua

1427
01:08:58,240 --> 01:09:01,120
Speaker 3: and it looks like Armstea might be back this week.

1428
01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:03,840
Speaker 3: Two only had to scramble one time too, Lots of

1429
01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:07,439
Speaker 3: time in the pocket for Tua last week. The Pats

1430
01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:10,680
Speaker 3: allowed sixteen receptions to wide receivers last week. That was

1431
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:13,720
Speaker 3: seventh most in the league. That's exactly Twoa's bread and butter.

1432
01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:16,519
Speaker 3: He gets an A grade here, Tyreek Hill gets an

1433
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:19,519
Speaker 3: A grade as well. Jalen Wattle gets a B because

1434
01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:22,479
Speaker 3: the delta in targets between him and Hill is so

1435
01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:27,519
Speaker 3: large fifteen targets to Wattle six. For context, Braxton Barrios

1436
01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:31,320
Speaker 3: had five targets. So is Wattle closer to Barrios than Hill? No,

1437
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:32,519
Speaker 3: of course, no, he's not.

1438
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:32,720
Speaker 5: No.

1439
01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:35,920
Speaker 3: Wattle actually has scored in three of his four games

1440
01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:38,760
Speaker 3: against New England as well, and with the Belichick way

1441
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:41,200
Speaker 3: of taking out the top option, Wattle should see a

1442
01:09:41,280 --> 01:09:44,040
Speaker 3: lot of single coverage this week. When that coverage is

1443
01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:49,240
Speaker 3: against Christian Gonzales, expect Tua to target Wattle copiously. Gonzalez

1444
01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:52,000
Speaker 3: was picked on last week by the Eagles. They targeted

1445
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:55,679
Speaker 3: him ten times. He allowed seven catches for seventy one yards.

1446
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:58,479
Speaker 3: The other New England corners were only thrown at it

1447
01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:02,559
Speaker 3: combined four times. So Christian Gonzalez is the weak link.

1448
01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:07,280
Speaker 3: Raheem Mostert out snapped Salvin Akhmed last week forty seven

1449
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:10,679
Speaker 3: to nineteen. Devin ah Chane was a healthy scratch last week.

1450
01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:14,400
Speaker 3: Mostard only carried the ball ten times, though he did score.

1451
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:17,000
Speaker 3: That's salvaged his day. I'd like to leave Mostard on

1452
01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:19,000
Speaker 3: the bench if I could this week, though, as the

1453
01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:21,679
Speaker 3: Pats are just killers against the run. They've only allowed

1454
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:25,400
Speaker 3: five total scores running backs last year, and they held

1455
01:10:25,439 --> 01:10:28,479
Speaker 3: the Eagles trio of runners to sixty yards on sixteen

1456
01:10:28,479 --> 01:10:33,880
Speaker 3: attempts last week. On the Patriots side, Romandre Stevenson gets

1457
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:36,080
Speaker 3: an A grade here, even though the numbers looked rough

1458
01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:37,599
Speaker 3: in Week one, the Eagles were one of the better

1459
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:40,960
Speaker 3: run defense he'd faces all year. The Dolphins are not that.

1460
01:10:41,160 --> 01:10:43,519
Speaker 3: They just allowed Austin Eckler to go for one hundred

1461
01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:47,000
Speaker 3: and sixty four total yards last week and Joshua Kelly

1462
01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 3: went for ninety one yards on the ground on his own.

1463
01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 3: Both of them scored. The Finns seem to have a

1464
01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:55,040
Speaker 3: massive hole in stopping the run, which is why Stevenson

1465
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:57,120
Speaker 3: gets an A and Zeke was charged to take a

1466
01:10:57,200 --> 01:10:59,559
Speaker 3: chance on me running back. I give him a solid

1467
01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:04,080
Speaker 3: Sea grad. Mac Jones looked good last week. That's what

1468
01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:06,760
Speaker 3: happens when you give him an actual offensive coordinator. It's

1469
01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:09,800
Speaker 3: weird when Matt Patricia is not your offensive coordinator. And

1470
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 3: even better for mac Jones, let's give some credit here. Yeah,

1471
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:16,000
Speaker 3: opening Drive throws a pick six on a bad pass

1472
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:19,920
Speaker 3: and I'm saying to myself, oh man, it's over for

1473
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:21,120
Speaker 3: Mac Jones.

1474
01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:23,639
Speaker 2: Like he's gonna just unravel right here on the field,

1475
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:26,240
Speaker 2: And it was the exact opposite, exactly rally.

1476
01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:29,960
Speaker 3: It was literally the best career game for Mac Jones

1477
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:32,800
Speaker 3: by Fantasy points in his entire career, three hundred and

1478
01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:36,719
Speaker 3: sixteen yards and three touchdowns. Justin Airbear had a similar

1479
01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:39,400
Speaker 3: a dot last week against the Dolphins as Mac Jones

1480
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:43,920
Speaker 3: did against the Eagles. Airbear found moderate success with two

1481
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:45,920
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty eight yards in a score. I think

1482
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:48,240
Speaker 3: I'd put that as the floor for Jones this week,

1483
01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:50,080
Speaker 3: so I'll throw a C grade on him. I think

1484
01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:52,960
Speaker 3: he's very startable in a super flex league. And as

1485
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:56,559
Speaker 3: far as the wide receiver goes, let's talk about Kendrick Bourne.

1486
01:11:56,560 --> 01:11:58,880
Speaker 3: He's the only one I'm paying attention to. Yeah, score

1487
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:02,759
Speaker 3: twice last week, led the team in targets, receptions, and yards,

1488
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:06,160
Speaker 3: had a respectable twelve and a half average depth of target,

1489
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:09,000
Speaker 3: and one hundred and thirty eight total air yards. He'll

1490
01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:11,519
Speaker 3: play against Eli Apple most often this week, who was

1491
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:15,599
Speaker 3: targeted deep exclusively by the Chargers last week. On targets

1492
01:12:15,640 --> 01:12:19,920
Speaker 3: toward Apple, the average depth was nineteen point five yards downfield.

1493
01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:22,880
Speaker 3: They're throwing deep against him, and it's probably not worth

1494
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:25,080
Speaker 3: starting a Patriots tight end, but it's worth noting the

1495
01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:28,080
Speaker 3: revenge game for Mike Kasiki this week. Yeah, and if

1496
01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:30,559
Speaker 3: you think that he gets an end zone targeter two,

1497
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:32,680
Speaker 3: he gets the desperation D.

1498
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 2: Dart throw grade. When we come back, we're gonna jump

1499
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:41,080
Speaker 2: in the time machine. Three mature speculation.

1500
01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:43,839
Speaker 3: Time machine sounds like yars revenge.

1501
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:46,200
Speaker 2: It does sound like yards revenge.

1502
01:12:46,439 --> 01:12:47,920
Speaker 1: We'll tell you who to pick up this week that

1503
01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:49,760
Speaker 1: everybody else will be trying to pick up next week

1504
01:12:49,800 --> 01:13:12,320
Speaker 1: on Fantasy Football Leekly final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly.

1505
01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:18,920
Speaker 1: That means it's time to jump into the time machine.

1506
01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:22,400
Speaker 3: I think that's.

1507
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:24,760
Speaker 2: Defender, by the way, if anybody's wondering, that's the that

1508
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:25,280
Speaker 2: is defended.

1509
01:13:25,320 --> 01:13:28,000
Speaker 3: That's the weirdest flux capacitor noise ever that is it.

1510
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:29,040
Speaker 2: Maybe that could be the case.

1511
01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:31,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna give you three guys to pick up this

1512
01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:33,320
Speaker 1: week that everyone's going to be trying to pick up

1513
01:13:33,479 --> 01:13:37,960
Speaker 1: next week. Frankly, we hammered this segment last last week.

1514
01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:40,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if we could have possibly done any better.

1515
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:42,880
Speaker 1: We'll try now, Matt who you got?

1516
01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:47,240
Speaker 3: I just mentioned him? Actually Kendrick Bourne highlighted in the matchup.

1517
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:49,519
Speaker 3: But if Bourne scores again this week, his price will

1518
01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:52,519
Speaker 3: go get up way high. He's only rostered in forty

1519
01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:54,599
Speaker 3: six percent of sleeper leagues right now, and that's up

1520
01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:57,800
Speaker 3: forty four percent from last week. Imagine if he scores again,

1521
01:13:57,920 --> 01:13:59,680
Speaker 3: it's going to be through the roof and everybody's going

1522
01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:01,559
Speaker 3: to be in their waiver wear bucks on him in.

1523
01:14:01,560 --> 01:14:04,120
Speaker 1: A positive matchup. That could be the use thor Who

1524
01:14:04,240 --> 01:14:06,280
Speaker 1: is your premature speculation player.

1525
01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:07,960
Speaker 2: Packers wide receiver Jayden Reid.

1526
01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:10,040
Speaker 4: I think this is your last shot to get Jayden

1527
01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:13,200
Speaker 4: Reid ten percent owned in Yahoo, nineteen percent owned in

1528
01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:15,519
Speaker 4: sleeper Church. You were sort of mentioning this when you

1529
01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:18,519
Speaker 4: were going through the matchup of this game Reid last week,

1530
01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:21,200
Speaker 4: so he only was sent out on sixteen routes, but

1531
01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:24,720
Speaker 4: on five of those he was targeted a stellar three

1532
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:28,000
Speaker 4: yards per route run for Reid last week, sixty percent

1533
01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:31,120
Speaker 4: of his snaps came from the slot last week. This weekend,

1534
01:14:31,280 --> 01:14:34,400
Speaker 4: he gets Falcons nickel cornerback de Alford, who has given

1535
01:14:34,479 --> 01:14:37,280
Speaker 4: up one hundred and five passer rating during his career

1536
01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:39,720
Speaker 4: on targets. Go out and get Jayden ree He gonna

1537
01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:42,040
Speaker 4: be owned everywhere next week. I think you're right about that.

1538
01:14:42,160 --> 01:14:43,439
Speaker 4: I like I like Jayden Reid.

1539
01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:47,800
Speaker 1: Let's do it my take premature speculation, player, and listen,

1540
01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:51,080
Speaker 1: I don't doubt anybody for being skeptical when I say

1541
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:56,400
Speaker 1: to back Zach Moss. I've earned every bit of skepticism

1542
01:14:56,520 --> 01:14:59,920
Speaker 1: anybody might have on my Zach Moss takes totally deserve.

1543
01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:03,920
Speaker 1: But can Zack Moss be better than Dean Jackson?

1544
01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:07,400
Speaker 2: Maybe? Yes, he can?

1545
01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:11,400
Speaker 1: Can he Are we sure Heavin Hull probably will not

1546
01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:13,680
Speaker 1: play again this year, or if he does come back,

1547
01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:15,639
Speaker 1: it's gonna be like December tragically.

1548
01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:18,080
Speaker 3: And then there's this Jonathan Taylor.

1549
01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:20,320
Speaker 2: Then Jonathan Taylor, so we don't.

1550
01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:23,000
Speaker 1: Nobody knows right now what's gonna be happening in Jonathan

1551
01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:26,599
Speaker 1: Taylor week five forward. Now, Zach Moss could be startable

1552
01:15:26,920 --> 01:15:29,080
Speaker 1: this week. You gave him a he was here, take

1553
01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:31,360
Speaker 1: a chance at me, player, Yeah, let's be running back

1554
01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:33,920
Speaker 1: twins C grades for the Colts back C grade. He

1555
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:36,240
Speaker 1: could be startable as early as this week. So you're

1556
01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:37,760
Speaker 1: gonna get like three games a run with him, and

1557
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:40,160
Speaker 1: then who knows what happens with Jonathan Taylor. Let's pick

1558
01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:43,879
Speaker 1: up Zach Moss and see what happens. Final two matchups

1559
01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:48,799
Speaker 1: of this show, New Orleans taking on Carolina. You loved

1560
01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:52,120
Speaker 1: the deep ball for New Orleans last week thor and

1561
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:54,560
Speaker 1: it all came in big. What about this week in

1562
01:15:54,640 --> 01:15:57,720
Speaker 1: a different matchup with Carolina is still a very good one.

1563
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:00,840
Speaker 1: Derek carr last week was my take chance on me guy.

1564
01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:02,200
Speaker 2: He at quarterback.

1565
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:05,560
Speaker 4: He rewarded my faith three hundred plus passing yards for

1566
01:16:05,680 --> 01:16:08,559
Speaker 4: him number two in yards per attempt in the NFL

1567
01:16:08,720 --> 01:16:12,320
Speaker 4: last week. As I mentioned, great matchup this week. Panthers

1568
01:16:12,400 --> 01:16:15,600
Speaker 4: gave up the ninth highest passer rating last year and J. C.

1569
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:19,160
Speaker 2: Horn is out. I'm giving Derek Carr an a grade

1570
01:16:20,600 --> 01:16:21,000
Speaker 2: all right.

1571
01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:23,640
Speaker 4: Of course, I love Rashid chi Heet. He was might

1572
01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:26,800
Speaker 4: take a chance on me wide receiver. I'm also given

1573
01:16:26,840 --> 01:16:29,840
Speaker 4: an A grade to Chris o'lave. It's Chris Olave season

1574
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:33,120
Speaker 4: this year. He shredded the Titans for a thirty percent

1575
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:36,080
Speaker 4: target share last week on three point seven yards per

1576
01:16:36,280 --> 01:16:40,240
Speaker 4: route run. This is another strong matchup for Olave. You're

1577
01:16:40,280 --> 01:16:43,280
Speaker 4: going up against Dante Jackson and CJ. Henderson out there

1578
01:16:43,439 --> 01:16:47,240
Speaker 4: with j C. Horn out, he is gonna smash Michael Thomas.

1579
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:49,200
Speaker 4: I was wrong about Michael Thomas last week. I told

1580
01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:51,080
Speaker 4: you to keep him on your bench. Hopefully you didn't

1581
01:16:51,160 --> 01:16:53,080
Speaker 4: listen to me. This week, I'm giving him a B.

1582
01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:56,800
Speaker 4: He's fully healthy again. He proved that twenty four percent

1583
01:16:56,920 --> 01:17:00,720
Speaker 4: target share last weekend, one point nine yards route run.

1584
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:03,760
Speaker 4: We're gonna give him a B grade. Juwan Johnson, I'm

1585
01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:06,280
Speaker 4: gonna give him a C grade in this game. He's

1586
01:17:06,360 --> 01:17:09,360
Speaker 4: the clear tight end one and clear number four receiving

1587
01:17:09,439 --> 01:17:13,280
Speaker 4: option in this offense. That's the good news and bad

1588
01:17:13,360 --> 01:17:15,760
Speaker 4: news sort of is He's been limited in practice with

1589
01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:18,320
Speaker 4: a calf injury, but he is expected to play this weekend.

1590
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:20,360
Speaker 2: Not a great matchup here.

1591
01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:23,360
Speaker 4: Carolina gave up the ninth fewest receiving yards to tight

1592
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:26,879
Speaker 4: ends last year, so give him a CE. Jamal Williams,

1593
01:17:26,920 --> 01:17:29,320
Speaker 4: I'm gonna give him a grade of B. He is

1594
01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:33,599
Speaker 4: the clear belcow here until Elvin Kamara returns. Ken Dray

1595
01:17:33,640 --> 01:17:37,320
Speaker 4: Miller is dinged up. Last week, Jamal Williams seventy five

1596
01:17:37,360 --> 01:17:40,080
Speaker 4: percent of the snaps played, but he only had fifty

1597
01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:43,640
Speaker 4: two total yards on twenty touches. However, this is a

1598
01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:47,400
Speaker 4: good matchup for him against Carolina's rotten run defense. The

1599
01:17:47,479 --> 01:17:51,040
Speaker 4: Panthers allowed the fourth highest yards after contact last week.

1600
01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:54,519
Speaker 4: I'm giving Jamal Williams a B. Moving to the Panthers,

1601
01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:56,720
Speaker 4: I got a lot of bench grades on I bet

1602
01:17:56,760 --> 01:17:59,000
Speaker 4: you do. Yeah, Bryce Young, you gotta keep him on

1603
01:17:59,120 --> 01:17:59,559
Speaker 4: your bench.

1604
01:18:00,040 --> 01:18:00,639
Speaker 2: Love Bryce Young.

1605
01:18:00,680 --> 01:18:03,000
Speaker 4: Everybody loved Bryce Young, but last week it didn't look

1606
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:05,800
Speaker 4: good worse in the NFL in passing gray that's tough,

1607
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:09,200
Speaker 4: and the Saints have an awesome pass defense. You have

1608
01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:12,120
Speaker 4: to bench Young. And for this reason, you have to

1609
01:18:12,200 --> 01:18:15,080
Speaker 4: bench all the Panthers receivers. You have to bench their

1610
01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:18,280
Speaker 4: tight end Hayden Hurst as well, especially with Hearst, because

1611
01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:21,479
Speaker 4: the Saints defense shuts down tight ends going back several

1612
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:24,120
Speaker 4: years now. The only guy on this offense that you

1613
01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:27,120
Speaker 4: can start with any sort of confidence is Miles Sanders.

1614
01:18:27,640 --> 01:18:30,920
Speaker 4: I'm giving Miles Sanders a B in this matchup. Last

1615
01:18:30,920 --> 01:18:34,439
Speaker 4: week twenty two touches for ninety eight total yards while

1616
01:18:34,479 --> 01:18:38,760
Speaker 4: playing fifty seven percent of the offensive snaps, but he

1617
01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:41,960
Speaker 4: only ranked number forty one out of fifty five qualifying

1618
01:18:42,040 --> 01:18:44,840
Speaker 4: running backs last week in elusive rating. Was a little

1619
01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:47,800
Speaker 4: too easy to hit Miles Sanders last week. However, this

1620
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:50,599
Speaker 4: is a decent matchup. Whereas New Orleans has the really

1621
01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 4: good pass defense, run defense not so good. The Saints

1622
01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:57,200
Speaker 4: run defense was bottom eight last week both in yards

1623
01:18:57,280 --> 01:19:02,040
Speaker 4: after contact per attempt and yards before contact per attempt.

1624
01:19:02,320 --> 01:19:06,880
Speaker 2: Not good, not good. Some people think Cuba Hubbard looked better. Yeah,

1625
01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 2: you know, home run hitter.

1626
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:11,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I didn't like what I've seen from Cuba

1627
01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:15,160
Speaker 1: to this point of his career. But nevertheless, there's you know,

1628
01:19:15,280 --> 01:19:17,559
Speaker 1: there's there may be some opportunity there, maybe more than

1629
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:20,240
Speaker 1: we thought could be. Yeah, we'll find out. Final matchup

1630
01:19:20,439 --> 01:19:24,280
Speaker 1: is Cleveland taking on Pittsburgh. Nick job obvious A. And

1631
01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:26,320
Speaker 1: we should note that Pittsburgh is gonna be without their

1632
01:19:26,400 --> 01:19:29,880
Speaker 1: defensive tackle Cam Hayward. That is a sizeable loss literally

1633
01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:33,120
Speaker 1: and figuratively. So nick JOBB feels like a very good play.

1634
01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:34,800
Speaker 1: I'm want to go to the passing game and spend

1635
01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:36,720
Speaker 1: most of our time on the Cleveland side talking about that.

1636
01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:42,080
Speaker 1: I can't stress enough how bad Deshaun Watson's passing looked.

1637
01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:46,160
Speaker 1: It's being masked in the fantasy world by that rushing

1638
01:19:46,240 --> 01:19:49,920
Speaker 1: touchdown that he had, but it was ugly. Now granted

1639
01:19:49,960 --> 01:19:51,360
Speaker 1: it was in the rain, and it was against a

1640
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:56,559
Speaker 1: good Bengal secondary. But if Watson's passing flops this week

1641
01:19:56,680 --> 01:19:59,679
Speaker 1: against the Steelers, it is not too early to start

1642
01:19:59,720 --> 01:20:03,599
Speaker 1: worrying about Deshaun Watson's long term prospects here. Steelers earned

1643
01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:07,120
Speaker 1: Pro Football focuses number one pass rush rating last week.

1644
01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:09,400
Speaker 1: He'd of course by TJ. Watt, who had get this

1645
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:13,120
Speaker 1: a hurry, two hits and three sacks in the game.

1646
01:20:13,720 --> 01:20:15,800
Speaker 1: I don't I don't like. I don't like the Amari

1647
01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:18,400
Speaker 1: Cooper matchup that much. I don't have a ton of

1648
01:20:18,439 --> 01:20:20,920
Speaker 1: faith in the receiving of the rest of the receivers

1649
01:20:20,960 --> 01:20:24,680
Speaker 1: who did nothing last week, and when I balanced that

1650
01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:27,400
Speaker 1: in with Deshaun Watson looking bad as a passer, I

1651
01:20:27,439 --> 01:20:29,439
Speaker 1: don't see a lot to like here. Also, you don't

1652
01:20:29,439 --> 01:20:31,160
Speaker 1: get the design runs that you think you're getting out

1653
01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:33,880
Speaker 1: of Deshaun Watson. That did not materialize either either with

1654
01:20:34,280 --> 01:20:34,640
Speaker 1: even with.

1655
01:20:34,720 --> 01:20:38,639
Speaker 2: The rushing touchdown. So yeah, I can't. I can't.

1656
01:20:38,880 --> 01:20:40,519
Speaker 1: I can't support him here, and I've only got the

1657
01:20:40,600 --> 01:20:42,599
Speaker 1: C grade on him. Let's talk about David and Joku

1658
01:20:42,920 --> 01:20:46,719
Speaker 1: disappointing start to the season, and Pittsburgh contained George Kittle

1659
01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:49,599
Speaker 1: in the Opener, holding him to three catches for nineteen yards.

1660
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:52,799
Speaker 1: But Najoku has scored in three straight games against the Steelers,

1661
01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:56,280
Speaker 1: and in last year's two games, he totaled thirteen catches

1662
01:20:56,520 --> 01:20:59,480
Speaker 1: for one hundred and thirty one yards and two touchdowns,

1663
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:02,960
Speaker 1: good numbers historically against the Steelers for David and Joku.

1664
01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:06,200
Speaker 1: So that keeps him quasi viable and will keep a

1665
01:21:06,320 --> 01:21:08,960
Speaker 1: C grade on him. I alluded to a Marii Cooper earlier,

1666
01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:11,960
Speaker 1: tough game last week. You had the rain, you had

1667
01:21:12,040 --> 01:21:16,320
Speaker 1: bad quarterback play, you had a difficult secondary. Easier matchup

1668
01:21:16,400 --> 01:21:20,519
Speaker 1: this week against the Steelers cornerbacks. You've got Patrick Peterson,

1669
01:21:20,680 --> 01:21:23,080
Speaker 1: You've got Levi Wallace. Both of them gave up more

1670
01:21:23,120 --> 01:21:26,280
Speaker 1: than forty yards in their coverage last week. Patrick Peterson,

1671
01:21:26,560 --> 01:21:31,439
Speaker 1: at age seventy three, got tagged for two touchdowns last week.

1672
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:33,000
Speaker 2: So I think Cooper.

1673
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:34,880
Speaker 1: I think Cooper has a nice little bounce back game

1674
01:21:34,920 --> 01:21:37,639
Speaker 1: potentially with him. I got a B grade on Amari Cooper.

1675
01:21:38,160 --> 01:21:39,320
Speaker 1: I can't go to any of the rest of the

1676
01:21:39,400 --> 01:21:44,960
Speaker 1: receivers who didn't do much, including Elijah Moore and David Donovan,

1677
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:47,280
Speaker 1: Peoples Jones excuse me, who both clock in with bench

1678
01:21:47,360 --> 01:21:52,639
Speaker 1: grades here. Let's go to Pittsburgh side boy Najie Harris first.

1679
01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:55,240
Speaker 1: The good news he's scored in all four games against

1680
01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:57,320
Speaker 1: the Browns in his career, and he's average one hundred

1681
01:21:57,320 --> 01:21:58,519
Speaker 1: and seventeen total yards.

1682
01:21:58,720 --> 01:21:59,679
Speaker 2: That's good news.

1683
01:22:00,479 --> 01:22:02,599
Speaker 1: The bad news is everything else that's going to come

1684
01:22:02,640 --> 01:22:05,960
Speaker 1: after that. Harris only saw fifty two percent of the

1685
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:08,960
Speaker 1: snaps last week. That is the second lowest since the

1686
01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:12,360
Speaker 1: start of last season, and Jalen Warren had the same

1687
01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:16,200
Speaker 1: number of touches as Naji Harris. This looks like the

1688
01:22:16,400 --> 01:22:20,559
Speaker 1: running back by committee nobody asked for. Definitely, the Browns

1689
01:22:20,680 --> 01:22:24,240
Speaker 1: defense looked run defense looked improved over last year's awful unit,

1690
01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:26,800
Speaker 1: thanks in parts of several key off season editions, and

1691
01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:29,320
Speaker 1: they held the Bengals runners to seventy five rushing yards

1692
01:22:29,320 --> 01:22:32,120
Speaker 1: four and a half yards per Carrie. You know mac numbers.

1693
01:22:32,520 --> 01:22:34,519
Speaker 1: I can put a se grade on Najie Harris, but

1694
01:22:34,560 --> 01:22:36,920
Speaker 1: I can't do more than that. Now for Jalen Warren,

1695
01:22:37,760 --> 01:22:38,439
Speaker 1: you know this is.

1696
01:22:38,439 --> 01:22:39,479
Speaker 2: A developing situation.

1697
01:22:39,680 --> 01:22:42,760
Speaker 1: I don't think you can start him yet, but you know, look,

1698
01:22:42,800 --> 01:22:44,720
Speaker 1: if Naji Harris is going to continue to struggle and

1699
01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:46,679
Speaker 1: Jalen Warren's going to keep getting half of the touches

1700
01:22:46,720 --> 01:22:47,240
Speaker 1: in week one?

1701
01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:49,599
Speaker 2: What if that turns into fifty percent of the touches,

1702
01:22:49,640 --> 01:22:51,800
Speaker 2: sixty percent of the touches. So maybe maybe this thing

1703
01:22:51,880 --> 01:22:52,920
Speaker 2: flips over. At some point.

1704
01:22:53,200 --> 01:22:55,479
Speaker 1: You might want to invest in Jalen Warren, but we

1705
01:22:55,560 --> 01:22:57,479
Speaker 1: can't start him here. All right, Let's go to the

1706
01:22:57,800 --> 01:23:00,000
Speaker 1: Let's go to the passing game. I'm not even gonna

1707
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:03,200
Speaker 1: talk about Kenny Pickett in a miserable outing. Let's go

1708
01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:06,240
Speaker 1: to George Pickens. Now, they lost Deontae Johnson. That probably

1709
01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:08,599
Speaker 1: means a few more looks for George Pickens, but also

1710
01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:12,200
Speaker 1: means better coverage. Pickens saw far too many short passes

1711
01:23:12,320 --> 01:23:15,680
Speaker 1: last week. That is not really his skill set, effectively

1712
01:23:15,760 --> 01:23:18,800
Speaker 1: half in his yards per reception from last year. In

1713
01:23:18,880 --> 01:23:23,200
Speaker 1: the opener, the Bengals picked on cornerback Martin Emerson deep,

1714
01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:26,960
Speaker 1: averaging twenty yards per pass in his coverage. That's where

1715
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:30,320
Speaker 1: George Pickens can can kill you. Yes, right, those deep

1716
01:23:30,439 --> 01:23:35,200
Speaker 1: contested balls. Let's do that against Steelers. Now it did

1717
01:23:35,280 --> 01:23:37,439
Speaker 1: ended up working, but maybe the Steelers will have more

1718
01:23:37,520 --> 01:23:40,160
Speaker 1: success in a dry game here and hopefully they find

1719
01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:42,320
Speaker 1: George Pickens. I'm putting the C grade on him. I

1720
01:23:42,360 --> 01:23:44,439
Speaker 1: want to believe it's going to happen. Let's tuck Pat

1721
01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:47,360
Speaker 1: Fryermuth for a minute. Returned to full practice on Friday

1722
01:23:47,640 --> 01:23:49,640
Speaker 1: last week. Three of his four receptions came in the

1723
01:23:49,720 --> 01:23:51,559
Speaker 1: red zone. He's proven to be a goal line threat

1724
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:54,400
Speaker 1: throughout his career. Scored last week. The Browns gave up

1725
01:23:54,520 --> 01:23:58,160
Speaker 1: just seventeen yards to Irv Smith last week, and they

1726
01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:01,240
Speaker 1: held Friarmuth to zero yards and forty one yards in

1727
01:24:01,320 --> 01:24:04,719
Speaker 1: the two games last year. Last season, the Browns allowed

1728
01:24:04,760 --> 01:24:07,160
Speaker 1: the fifth fewest tight end receptions and the third fewest

1729
01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:09,000
Speaker 1: tight end touchdowns. I can only get to a C

1730
01:24:09,240 --> 01:24:11,840
Speaker 1: grade on Pat Fryarmouth is healthy, though, so that is

1731
01:24:12,120 --> 01:24:14,920
Speaker 1: that's good news there. Alan Robinson's gonna get more action

1732
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:17,680
Speaker 1: with Deontay Johnson out, He'll be on the field a

1733
01:24:17,720 --> 01:24:21,320
Speaker 1: lot more, mostly runs from the slot. Cleveland's nickel cornerback

1734
01:24:21,439 --> 01:24:24,960
Speaker 1: Greg Newsom is awesome. This is a bad matchup. He's

1735
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:28,759
Speaker 1: allowed one touchdown in his coverage in his last seventeen games.

1736
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:31,800
Speaker 1: Can't go to Alan Robinson here for better or worse.

1737
01:24:32,240 --> 01:24:34,280
Speaker 1: I think that pretty much wrapped nobody. Starting Kenny Picking

1738
01:24:34,520 --> 01:24:38,120
Speaker 1: now wraps up that matchup, and that leaves us some

1739
01:24:38,240 --> 01:24:41,000
Speaker 1: stuff to talk about from the Thursday night game. So

1740
01:24:42,040 --> 01:24:45,320
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift looked awesome. Get a load of this stat

1741
01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:52,000
Speaker 1: before contact on Thursday night, DeAndre Swift racked up one

1742
01:24:52,160 --> 01:24:55,840
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty three yards before contact.

1743
01:24:57,080 --> 01:24:59,960
Speaker 3: So does that make DeAndre Swift awesome? Or the Eagles

1744
01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:03,840
Speaker 3: offensive line awesome, or the Vikings defensive seven.

1745
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:07,280
Speaker 1: Or all three? Could certainly be the case. So let's

1746
01:25:07,320 --> 01:25:12,240
Speaker 1: just fast forward to next week's game. Let's assume Gainwell's available.

1747
01:25:12,800 --> 01:25:16,400
Speaker 1: What is the breakdown you see coming for Swift versus

1748
01:25:16,520 --> 01:25:18,200
Speaker 1: Gainwell when they're both available?

1749
01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:22,200
Speaker 4: I go seventy five percent for Swift, twenty five for Gainwell,

1750
01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:24,360
Speaker 4: and Rashad Penny is on mill curtains.

1751
01:25:24,560 --> 01:25:27,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, Penny's not even as a non factory. By the way,

1752
01:25:27,360 --> 01:25:30,360
Speaker 1: when did Rashod Penny turn into a kick returner? How

1753
01:25:30,439 --> 01:25:33,240
Speaker 1: do you kick return with Rashad drop the piano?

1754
01:25:33,400 --> 01:25:36,040
Speaker 2: Penny? I don't understand how that's the thing they want

1755
01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:37,160
Speaker 2: to get them on the field, I guess.

1756
01:25:37,200 --> 01:25:40,920
Speaker 1: So, Matt, what do you think Swift versus Gainwell both healthy?

1757
01:25:42,080 --> 01:25:44,920
Speaker 3: I hate the Eagles running back situation. That's why I've

1758
01:25:44,960 --> 01:25:47,880
Speaker 3: avoided it all year. I think it's going to be

1759
01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:50,000
Speaker 3: a guessing game all year, and we're not going to

1760
01:25:50,040 --> 01:25:52,120
Speaker 3: be able to forecast it. Probably fifty to fifty.

1761
01:25:53,120 --> 01:25:55,160
Speaker 1: I think it's going to frustrate people and be closer

1762
01:25:55,240 --> 01:25:57,640
Speaker 1: to fifty to fifty, even though Swift looks.

1763
01:25:57,960 --> 01:26:01,320
Speaker 2: Way way more dangerous, does it? Yes? But you know,

1764
01:26:01,400 --> 01:26:03,519
Speaker 2: but the Eagles don't always make sense with their rotation.

1765
01:26:03,680 --> 01:26:07,280
Speaker 1: They never so I bet there's more gainwell in here

1766
01:26:07,360 --> 01:26:09,320
Speaker 1: than we want to think there's gonna be, and that

1767
01:26:09,400 --> 01:26:13,120
Speaker 1: could water down the efficacy for Swift. Also from that game,

1768
01:26:13,120 --> 01:26:18,080
Speaker 1: while we're talking running backs, Alexander brutal, brutal, you know

1769
01:26:18,200 --> 01:26:20,679
Speaker 1: the bad fumble. He's now averaged I think three yards

1770
01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:22,320
Speaker 1: of carry and three and a half yards of carry

1771
01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:26,320
Speaker 1: in his two games, has looked has looked like an

1772
01:26:26,479 --> 01:26:29,600
Speaker 1: utterly mundane NFL runner, if I'm just being honest. So

1773
01:26:29,880 --> 01:26:32,760
Speaker 1: let's project forward a little bit. I know, my whole

1774
01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:35,920
Speaker 1: theory on drafting Ty Chandler in the preseason was basically

1775
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:39,200
Speaker 1: exactly this. They can only go so long with Alexander

1776
01:26:39,240 --> 01:26:42,920
Speaker 1: Madison looking ordinary before they have to give Chandler some looks. Right,

1777
01:26:43,560 --> 01:26:45,519
Speaker 1: He's got to get on the field more, I don't,

1778
01:26:46,240 --> 01:26:50,000
Speaker 1: I think, right, just to see. You know, Madison's blocking

1779
01:26:50,040 --> 01:26:52,040
Speaker 1: has been bad, and I don't know that he's left

1780
01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:53,960
Speaker 1: a lot of yards on the field because he's had

1781
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:55,160
Speaker 1: doesn't had a lot of places to go.

1782
01:26:55,320 --> 01:26:58,360
Speaker 2: But at some point, don't we tried the little tight chack.

1783
01:26:58,320 --> 01:27:00,599
Speaker 3: Well, And if you're blocking as bad as running back

1784
01:27:00,680 --> 01:27:03,559
Speaker 3: in what is a pass first offense, you don't stay

1785
01:27:03,600 --> 01:27:07,160
Speaker 3: on the field much longer. You lose out. You have

1786
01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:09,200
Speaker 3: to have skills in the NFL to stay on the field.

1787
01:27:09,720 --> 01:27:12,720
Speaker 3: He doesn't have the ability to run great and he

1788
01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:14,880
Speaker 3: doesn't have the ability to block all that well. So

1789
01:27:15,280 --> 01:27:16,240
Speaker 3: I think he's in trouble.

1790
01:27:16,360 --> 01:27:19,080
Speaker 1: And the other thing that really hurts Madison is Kevin

1791
01:27:19,120 --> 01:27:21,280
Speaker 1: O'Connell's just a pass first guy. I mean, last year

1792
01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:24,760
Speaker 1: the Vikings are fifth in pass play percentage, and that's

1793
01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:26,759
Speaker 1: bearing itself out through a couple of games.

1794
01:27:26,600 --> 01:27:28,880
Speaker 3: Here and then the Vikings have Kareem Hunt come in

1795
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:31,559
Speaker 3: for a visit in the middle of in the middle

1796
01:27:31,600 --> 01:27:34,719
Speaker 3: of training camp. They could kick the tires there. Again,

1797
01:27:34,840 --> 01:27:36,559
Speaker 3: it would not surprise any datum.

1798
01:27:36,640 --> 01:27:38,240
Speaker 2: Ty Chandler's better than Kareem mont.

1799
01:27:38,160 --> 01:27:40,880
Speaker 1: Right now, probably opinion, sure, And let's go see what

1800
01:27:40,960 --> 01:27:42,920
Speaker 1: ty Chandler might bring to your fantasy team, get him

1801
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:45,080
Speaker 1: on the field. Hey, we're still making new Guillotine leagues.

1802
01:27:45,240 --> 01:27:47,640
Speaker 1: It's super exciting. You can play season long football with

1803
01:27:47,760 --> 01:27:51,240
Speaker 1: new drafts being held. Now you know how Gullantine leagues work.

1804
01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:53,920
Speaker 1: Every week, the low screening team gets chopped. All the

1805
01:27:53,960 --> 01:27:56,280
Speaker 1: players go to the waiver wire, where the rest of

1806
01:27:56,400 --> 01:27:59,120
Speaker 1: us build superstar rosters to do battle the rest of

1807
01:27:59,160 --> 01:28:02,320
Speaker 1: the season. It's super fun. This is the only way

1808
01:28:02,400 --> 01:28:04,240
Speaker 1: that you're gonna pick up t Higgins off of the

1809
01:28:04,280 --> 01:28:05,000
Speaker 1: waiver wire.

1810
01:28:05,600 --> 01:28:06,200
Speaker 2: So much fun.

1811
01:28:06,280 --> 01:28:09,559
Speaker 1: Guillotine leagues dot Com drafts happening now. Good lucky week

1812
01:28:09,600 --> 01:28:11,720
Speaker 1: to everybody. We'll talk to you next week.

1813
01:28:11,840 --> 01:28:12,200
