8
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 1: Does sound ominous, doesn't it? Well it is for many

9
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:32,599
Speaker 1: of us.

10
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:34,680

00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's good. That's that's gonna be the worst two

13
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three.

14
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, that's volume two. This is volume one. Yes,

15
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 4: like yeah, to kill Bill.

16
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: Hey there, I like it. Well, And if your name's Bill,

17
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: you could get killed this week. It's a tricky, tricky

18
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: week with bye weeks. Bill Belichick, they should fire him

19
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: this week. They won't, but they should. Paul Charchie and

20
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 1: Matt Harrison, Bryant Johnson with you Fantasy Football Weekly. In

21
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: a very very tricky week. We've got a bunch of

22
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: bye week teams. That means we don't have quite as

23
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: many matchups to get through, which means we get to

24
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: spend a little more time on each one of them,

25
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: which is great. We get to do three tough questions

26
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 1: we give to get get to give you nine players

27
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: upon whom you can take a chance. Premature speculation. And

28
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: although Scott Fish could not be here because.

29
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 4: Oh I'm not saying, because I'm not saying it, why

30
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 4: not because.

31
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: I'm not saying does he have chlamydia? No?

32
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 3: Of course not, of course.

33
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 5: True. You don't sure he's shopping for an item. I

34
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 5: don't know. That's all I'm gonna say.

35
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 3: A personal item, but not not to replace a broken one.

36
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 5: It's not Yes, it's not a medication of any types

37
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 5: of any sorts. Though we don't want to spad.

38
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: If Scott were here, what would he be telling us

39
00:01:59,240 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: right now?

40
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 3: Well, Scott's birthday the other day, and Fantasy Cares is

41
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:09,959
Speaker 3: giving away a signed autographed Justin Jefferson Jersey and Funko Pop.

47

Speaker 1: Yeah, that is fun. So nice opportunity to do something

Speaker 4: For so just a dollar gets you in the entry

50
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 4: and a dollar goes a long way if everyone just

51
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 4: donates a dollar.

52
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, great calls great prize.

53
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 3: Absolutely awesome.

54
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: Not too shabby. Let's jump into the matchups. Atlanta Falcons

55
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Matt And for the Falcons,

56
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: it's a I think a little bit of a trickier

57
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: matchup than it looks like on face value. Tampa Bay

58
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: defense not too shabby. What do you think of this one?

59
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we'll start with Bijon Robinson. He's kind

60
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 3: of the headliner there. He's now the field for around

61
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 3: seventy two percent of the snaps, which means Tyler Algier

62
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 3: more of a handcuffed a little bit of an afterthought

63
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 3: at this point. Bijeon's matchup this week is tough. Though

64
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 3: the Bucks have yet to allow a running back rushing touchdown,

65
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 3: they've only given up one through the air to running

66
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 3: backs this year. They're also along the fifth fewest running

67
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 3: back combo yards per game at just one hundred and nine.

68
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 3: If you factor in about a quarter of that going

69
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 3: to Algier. You're looking at Bijon at about eighty total

70
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 3: yards and a very low chance of a score. That's

71
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 3: kind of borderline B C grade for me. I'm giving

72
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 3: him a bee, but it's not a great matchup. Drake

73
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 3: London he also gets a B. Over the last three weeks,

74
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 3: he's been fairly reliable targets, increasing from seven to nine

75
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 3: to twelve last week, air yards of ninety nine more

76
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 3: in each of those weeks, and he's put up double

77
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 3: digit PPR points in four of the last five. He

78
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 3: runs from the left side most often, which means he'll

79
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 3: match up with Tampa's right corner Jamel Dean, who's allowed

80
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 3: a one thirty two passer rating in his coverage this year.

81
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 3: The Falcons tight ends, Oh boy, let's talk about those guys.

82
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 4: Well, well, there's only one, well, an actual tight end

83
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 4: when it comes to fantasy football.

84
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 5: I guess there's two.

85
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 3: Yes in fantasy football. So two rare occurrences took place

86
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 3: last week, a solar eclipse in the United States and

87
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 3: Kyle Pitts scored a touchdown.

88
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: Oh I like it.

89
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,679
Speaker 3: Pitts has strung together two straight weeks with double digit

90
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 3: PPR points. The problem for Pitts is so is John U.

91
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 5: Smith.

92
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 3: And if you smashed the two together into one player,

93
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 3: now we've got what we expected Kyle.

94
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: Pitts to be.

95
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 3: But then again, John U. Smith is still there. The

96
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 3: Bucks haven't allowed a tight end touchdown on the season.

97
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 3: They're only allowing five catches for forty yards per game

98
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 3: to the position, and we're splitting that two ways. That

99
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 3: doesn't look good at all. And Tampas played some good

100
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 3: tight ends this year and held them in check. Howkinson, Goddard, Laporta,

101
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,919
Speaker 3: and Comet were all held to forty one yards or less.

102
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 3: I'm leaving both of these guys on the bench, but

103
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 3: I understand if you have to start one in a

104
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 3: six team. By week, Desmond Ritter putting up some decent stats,

105
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,040
Speaker 3: but the eye test still doesn't look good. Did have

106
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 3: three hundred and seven passing yards and two passing scores

107
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 3: last week, but through three picks in a loss to Washington,

108
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 3: and I'm a little nervous that we're like one or

109
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 3: two interceptions away in the first half from Taylor Heineke

110
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 3: getting snaps. Tampa is a better than average pass defense

111
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,559
Speaker 3: as well. I don't have any druthers, but if I did,

112
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 3: I'd leave Desmond Ritter on the bench. This week, Baker

113
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 3: Mayfield faces an Atlanta defense that is break but don't bend.

114
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 3: The Falcons are allowing the third fewest passing yards at

115
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 3: only one hundred and ninety one per game, but allowing

116
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 3: the sixth most passing scores at almost two per game.

117
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 3: Problem is Atlanta is great against wide receivers and that's

118
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 3: where most of Mayfield's targets have been going. So I'm

119
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 3: leaving Baker on the bench. I don't really like Mike

120
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 3: Evans and Chris Godwin in this one either, but I'll

121
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 3: give them both C grades. The best overall matchup for

122
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 3: any player is going against slot corner d Alford, who

123
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 3: has already allowed three touchdowns in his coverage this year.

124
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 3: Problem is Godwin is only in the slot thirty one

125
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 3: percent of the time, Evans twenty six percent of the time.

126
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 3: The rest of the time, they're outside against Jeff Okuda,

127
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 3: who's had a career resurgence in Atlanta, allowing only fifty

128
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 3: one total yards in his coverage this year, or they

129
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 3: face aj Terrell, who's always tough. So just C grades

130
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 3: for those guys, and Rashad White better off on your

131
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 3: bench too. He's only topped ten PPR points once this season,

132
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 3: only touched the ball ten times and last week's lost

133
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 3: to Detroit. Plus Atlanta has only allowed three point seven

134
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 3: yards per carry and about three receptions per game to

135
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 3: opposing backs, only two total running back scores on the season.

136
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 3: They're a top five run defense right now. So you

137
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 3: can't start Rashad White here, and we'll talk more about

138
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:32,920
Speaker 3: him later in the show.

139
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: Or Rashad White breakdowns, yeah later, which is very very exciting.

140
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: Back to Desmond Ritter for a second. I believe it's

141
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: one career touchdown in road games.

142
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 6: Yeah.

143
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 3: His home road splits are absolutely weird.

144
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: They are very very and you know, I don't love

145
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: playing the home road differential very often unless it's something

146
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: that's really hyper lopsided. Desmond Ritters, that's it is hyper

147
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: ltid in that way. So yeah, I think that's fair

148
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: to mention it. Yeah, now, and they are in Tampa,

149
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: by the way, he confirmed one touchdown pass on the road,

150
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: yep for Desmond Ritter.

151
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 5: And back to Kyle.

152
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 4: Pitts really quick sixty of his snaps taking them slot

153
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 4: out wide thirteen percent in line.

154
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 5: He is a wide receiver.

155
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: Does that that who is eligible at tight end he's

156
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: even less valuable?

157
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 5: Then no, absolutely not.

158
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 3: He's he's still tight end in your league, and he's not.

159
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 3: He's performing as well as you want to get tight

160
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 3: end to two points.

161
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: Ray lines up, I'm not getting any more fantasy points.

162
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 3: Doesn't matter if he's lining up his running back, quarterback, kicker.

163
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 3: I don't care. He's not getting the points.

164
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo taking on the New England Patriots. Brian, let's start

165
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: on the Buffalo Bill's side.

166
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 5: I'm not ready to move on, but I will.

167
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 3: Brian's ears are smoking right now.

168
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: I want to start the running game. Many people, including me,

169
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to start Latavius Murray in a disturbing

170
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: number of week. Damian Harris is not gonna play in

171
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: this game. Murray's gonna have a chance. I want to

172
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: know what you think about him and James Cook part

173
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 1: of the rushing tandem for the Bills.

174
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've got to see on both Murray and Cook.

175
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 4: I like Cook a little more. Still, he continues to

176
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 4: lead the Bills backs in carries. Last week he had fourteen,

177
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 4: but Latavius Murray had twelve. But Cook did far more

178
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 4: with his chances, he averaged more than five yards per carry.

179
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 4: Murray was good for just three point seven five yards

180
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 4: per carry. New England only allowing three point five yards

181
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 4: per carry to opposing backs, but they have yielded the

182
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 4: seventh most rushing attempts and have allowed the fourth most

183
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 4: rushing touchdowns to running backs. And it's really about the

184
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 4: Patriots offense is just so bad, yeah, that they're never

185
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 4: on the field, meaning the other teams their opponents are

186
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 4: running the ball mercilessly against them. New England has allowed

187
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 4: the fourth most rushing touchdowns to running back. So I

188
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 4: see again on both Cook and Murray. If I had

189
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 4: to pick one, I would still Cook. But they're both

190
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 4: gonna be viable in this game. Stefan Diggs will certainly

191
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 4: be viable. Not the best matchup for Buffalo's passing game,

192
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 4: but that's because teams don't throw much on the Patriots,

193
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 4: who on the fourth lowest opponent passing play percentage, and

194
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 4: as a result, opposing wide receivers are averaging less than

195
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 4: thirteen catches one hundred and forty five yards in a

196
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 4: touchdown per game. That's not great, but the Patriots have

197
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 4: surrendered a wide receiver touchdown in every game but one.

198
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 5: And if I'm going to bet on.

199
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 4: A Bill's wide receiver to score, it's Stefan Diggs, who

200
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 4: had seven catches one hundred and four yards in a

201
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,080
Speaker 4: touchdown and then seven catches ninety two yards in a

202
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 4: touchdown in his two games against the Patriots last season.

203
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 5: So at a for Diggs.

204
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 4: Just a see though for Gabe Davis, who has scored

205
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 4: in three of his last four games against New England,

206
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 4: but he has failed to top three catches or fifty

207
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 4: yards in any of those games. He's touchdown dependent. In

208
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 4: this matchup, he'll need he'll need a touchdown to payoff.

209
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 4: You gotta like Digs more than Davis, but that's no

210
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 4: shock to anybody.

211
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 5: It's been a sh so far.

212
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 4: As Dalton Kincaid, why isn't he getting the hate that

213
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 4: Kyle Pitts has been getting the last two.

214
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 3: Years because he's six games into his career.

215
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 4: He was also well, it didn't take long for you

216
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 4: guys to hate on Kyle Pits un to only take

217
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 4: about six minutes in.

218
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: The preseason before he'd even hit the field. Thought that

219
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts was overrated that offense.

220
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 4: But who's been overrated so far as Dalton Kincaid and no,

221
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 4: shut that peacock, op.

222
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 5: He doesn't even get that pea cocks.

223
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 1: I thought I was right, No, you were not. We're

224
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: two years into this experiment, two and a half years,

225
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: two and a third years into this experiment.

226
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 4: So you're just gonna discount the one thousand plus yards

227
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 4: as a rookie that Kyle Pitts had allow me to answer,

228
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 4: which only Mike did.

229
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 6: Did.

230
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, that that peacock is then this he's I'm gonna

231
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 4: be eating that thing for Thanksgiving dinner sooner than that. Anyway,

232
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 4: back to Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox, they are both

233
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 4: on the bench. Kincaid was out last week with the concussion.

234
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 4: He should make his way back into the lineup this week.

235
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 4: In fact, he's expected to be mean.

236
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 3: Dalton can cuss.

237
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 5: There you go out of that.

238
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 4: Oh, Knox did play last week, but of course it

239
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 4: was Quintin Morris, h quin tin Tin I like to

240
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 4: call him, who caught the touchdown. You can't be excited

241
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 4: about any of these guys though. In this game, Kincaid,

242
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 4: Knox or Morris. The Patriots are allowing less than four

243
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 4: catches and forty yards per game to tight ends and

244
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 4: have allowed just one total touchdown to the position this season. Lastly,

245
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 4: for the Bills, Josh Allen gets a b. New England

246
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 4: has only surrendered six passing touchdowns all year, but again

247
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 4: that's because no one really throws against them. But Allen

248
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 4: did throw for multiple scores in both meetings with the

249
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 4: Patriots last year, and as total thirteen passing touchdowns across

250
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 4: his last four games against New England. And you're not

251
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 4: sitting Josh Allen, so we're not going to go into

252
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 4: that any further. You are going to sit basically everyone

253
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 4: on the Patriots outside of Ramandre Stevenson and Ezekiel Elliot.

254
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 5: Buffalo has allowed the.

255
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 4: Fifth most rushing yards and the fifth most receiving running backs,

256
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 4: which equates to one hundred and forty eight combo yards

257
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 4: per game. So it's a nice matchup on paper. Stevenson

258
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 4: out touched Zeke fifteen to eight last week. Both scored

259
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 4: on the ground. Stevenson had five catches to the one

260
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 4: from Zeke. Zeke had like an eighty plus yard touchdown

261
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 4: reception called back on a holding penalty.

262
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 5: He looked pretty good.

263
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 4: But those are the only two starting grades I have

264
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 4: on any Patriots, and you're gonna sit Kendrick Bourne, Juju Smith.

265
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,359
Speaker 1: Schuster, anybody.

266
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 4: Jones, the Bonte Parker on hundred, sick a Hunter, Henry

267
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 4: Mica Sicki yes, and Mac Jones the whole passing game

268
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 4: on the bench for New England.

269
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: When Tacon back Detroit Lions, Baltimore Ravens, we'll tell you

270
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: what to do with this thorny Detroit backfield. Jamir Gibbs,

271
00:12:43,720 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 1: Craig Reynolds. When we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly,

272
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: nine players not normally in starting lineups. Many of these

273
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: guys available on the waiver wire. It's take a chance

274
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: on me. We begin at the quarterback position and Matt Harrison.

275
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 3: I've got Josh Dobbs this week. He's put up average

276
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 3: two above average numbers in every week but Week one,

277
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 3: and he's faced some pretty tough defenses along the way Dallas,

278
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 3: San Francisco, Cincinnati and the Rams. In the last four weeks,

279
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 3: he's been buoyed by over forty rushing yards per game

280
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 3: and four of his last five, and has had two

281
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 3: passing touchdowns and two of his last three. This week,

282
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 3: he faces a Seattle defense that's allowed multiple passing scores

283
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 3: to three of the last four quarterbacks they've faced, and

284
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 3: over three hundred yards passing in three of their five

285
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 3: games so far the season. Plus they've only really faced

286
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 3: one mobile quarterback. That was Daniel Jones. He finished the

287
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 3: game with ten carries and sixty six yards on the ground.

288
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 3: So kind of like Dobbs this week, in a weird

289
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 3: week of quarterbacks, he's probably like a top twelve quarterback

290
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 3: in this week.

291
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's about where I've got him right.

292
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 6: Yeah.

293
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: By the way, all my player rankings available for free

294
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: at Caietinen Leagues.

295
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:18,439
Speaker 6: Doc.

296
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 3: Oh, I've heard of that site.

297
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: I've heard good things. Brian. You take a chance at

298
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 1: me quarterback.

299
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 4: Well, you probably have Brian Hoyer and Aiden O'Connell ranked

300
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 4: in the same spot because as.

301
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 5: Of right now, we're not sure who's going to be

302
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 5: starting for the Raiders.

303
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: A lot of mystery in Oh.

304
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 4: It seems like it's going to be Brian Hoyer to

305
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 4: prepare for we don't know who it's going to be.

306
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 4: But whoever it is, I'm starting said Raiders quarterback at

307
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 4: the Bears. I think it's going to be Brian Hoyer.

308
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 4: But if it's not, then it's eight o' O'Connell. You

309
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 4: shouldn't have a problem picking up either. But a great

310
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 4: matchup for both quarterbacks. The Bears have allowed the third

311
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 4: most passing yards and the second most passing touchdowns so

312
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 4: far this season. The Raiders have a very frustrated DeVante Adams.

313
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 5: Yea insert squeak key wheel.

314
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: You know we don't have the squeaky wheels.

315
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 3: Okay, horrible squeaky wheel.

316
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 4: Vegas has Jakobe Myers, who was bawling out right now.

317
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 4: Rookie tight end Michael Mayer has found his footing and

318
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 4: this is also a very plus matchup for Josh Jacobs

319
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 4: through the air. So Raiders quarterback tight d team quarterback

320
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 4: LV Does.

321
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: Anybody play team quarterback anymore?

322
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 3: No, there's a part of me that kind of misses it.

323
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: Not me, No, okay, not at all. I'm going Packers quarterback.

324
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: By the way, Eddie Jackson ruled out for that Bear secondary.

325
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: That's a big loss.

326
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 5: Even let's go Bears.

327
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: We're going Packers quarterback. Jordan Love taking on Denver. Anybody

328
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: against Denver's viable anybody. Now we know the play is

329
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: ugly for Jordan Love. Sometimes the super slow processing the

330
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: horrible accuracies. He's just spraying balls around the field. But

331
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: you know what, fantasy players don't care that much about

332
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: that stuff because that stuff doesn't always cost us fantasy points.

333
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: The reality is Love's got a big arm and mobility,

334
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: and those things generate fantasy points. He's got those traits

335
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: that we like, and this is a perfect spot for

336
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 1: a big hit for Jordan Love. Denver allowing the second

337
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: most fantasy points to quarterbacks, the most passing yards, the

338
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: most passing touchdowns, and coming out of the by the

339
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: Packers are much much healthier team than they used to be.

340
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: Jordan Love, we'll talk more about him later in this

341
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: show as well, but particularly like him this week. Let's

342
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: go to the running back position.

343
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 3: As Charchs just said, anybody is viable against the Denver Broncos.

344
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 3: That's why aj Dillon is might take a chance on

345
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 3: me runner. The Broncos are the worst run defense in

346
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 3: the league, and it's not particularly close. They're bottom three.

347
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 3: They're at bottom three rank in every category, including five

348
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 3: point eight yards per carry, the worst one hundred and

349
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 3: forty eight rush yards per game, the worst two hundred

350
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 3: and one combo yards to running backs, the worst thirty

351
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 3: two running back touchdown touches per game, the worst. Twelve

352
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 3: running back touchdowns allowed second worst. They've given up fifteen

353
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 3: more PPR points to an opposing running backs six times

354
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 3: in six games, and five of those six have been

355
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 3: over twenty two PPR points. Aaron Jones still limited in

356
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 3: practice with a hamstring injury. There's no need to rush

357
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 3: him back for this game. AJ Dillon can handle it.

358
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 3: He had twenty carries in the Vegas game in Week five,

359
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 3: and I expect a similar workload for AJ Dillon this

360
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 3: week now.

361
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 1: I think Jones re injured his hamstring. They haven't said that,

362
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: but I think it's clear that, just based on how

363
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: much his time away from the game, that he must

364
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: have had a set back on the hamstring. Cato at

365
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: some point. AJ Dillons really has rarely put together big

366
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: games when Aaron Jones has missed. But the opportunity is absurd,

367
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,440
Speaker 1: as you outline, absolutely, Brian, you taking a chance on

368
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: mer running back.

369
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 4: I'm sticking with this Bears Raiders game, but I'm on

370
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 4: the other side for running back here with Travis Homer

371
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 4: of Chicago at home against the said Raiders. The Raiders

372
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 4: have surrendered three rushing scores to running backs over the

373
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 4: last two weeks, and on the season, they are allowing

374
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 4: nearly one hundred and thirty combo yards per game to

375
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 4: the position. Danta Foreman will start for Chicago, but Roshan

376
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 4: Johnson has.

377
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 5: Been ruled out.

378
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 4: Khalil Herbert is on IR so it's going to be

379
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,800
Speaker 4: Foreman and Travis Homer carrying the load for the Bears

380
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 4: against the Raiders. And the Bears offensive line has been

381
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 4: great when it comes to the run game. Chicago owns

382
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 4: the second best run block win rate among every offensive

383
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,159
Speaker 4: line in the league. And again, the one hundred and

384
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 4: thirty combo yards per game allowed by the Raiders will

385
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 4: play into the favor of Homer, who should dominate the

386
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 4: third down work at running back for Chicago.

387
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: Matt outlined how bad the Broncos are against running backs.

388
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: I told you, by the way, and I mentioned they've

389
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 1: given up the most passing yards, they've given up the

390
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:40,360
Speaker 1: most rushing yards.

391
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 3: Which is like the anti Cleveland.

392
00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: They are anti Cleveland.

393
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 5: I like that.

394
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: They'd probably like to hear that too. After the Broncos

395
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: as the Panthers there and by after the Panthers allowing

396
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 1: the third most rushing yards per game the New York Giants.

397
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: Who can we go to for the New York Giants.

398
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: How about Antonio Gibson averaging just refewer snaps than the

399
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: starter Brian Robinson. Just the Giants defense so bad? Even

400
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,160
Speaker 1: backup running games are posting solid games against the Giants.

401
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: Latavius Murray came in with forty five yards. Both of

402
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: the Miami running backs got fed big time. Zach Charbonay

403
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,239
Speaker 1: posted a career game against the Giants. Elijah Mitchell went

404
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 1: for forty two yards against the Giants. Look in this

405
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: bye week, if we can get to forty fifty total

406
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: yards for Antonio Gibson, that's a win in a tricky

407
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 1: bye week with all the injuries. Antonio Gibson, he posted

408
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,680
Speaker 1: one good game one bad game against the Giants last year.

409
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,959
Speaker 1: Maybe this is the good one this year. Let's go

410
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 1: to the wide receiver position.

411
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 3: Matt I've got Jackson Smith and Jigba dk metcalf is

412
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 3: not practiced all week with both rib and hip injuries.

413
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 3: He's questionable, but you have to think he's unlikely to

414
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 3: go if he hasn't practiced yet. Tyler Lockett nursing a

415
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 3: hamstring injury. He was limited all week, but he's off

416
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,600
Speaker 3: the injury report as of now. But wide receivers and

417
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 3: hamstring injuries just don't mix very well, and one wrong

418
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 3: step he could be watching from the sidelines. So I

419
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 3: think it's JSN time. Last week here was the Seahawks

420
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 3: route counts. Metcalf ran thirty nine, Lockett ran thirty nine,

421
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 3: JSN ran thirty nine. While Lockett and Metcalf each had

422
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 3: eight targets, JSN only had five. But he's now learning

423
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 3: the offense and he's on the field about the same

424
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,640
Speaker 3: amount as the other guys. He has the opportunity here,

425
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 3: and the Cardinals are terrible against wide receivers. They're allowing

426
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 3: the fourth most receptions and the second most yards to

427
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 3: opposing wide receivers at one hundred and ninety nine yards

428
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,439
Speaker 3: per game. I like a lot of that to go

429
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 3: to Smith Injigba in his coming out party.

430
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: Not moving what by rankings. I think you've convinced me.

431
00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 6: Thank you.

432
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:37,960
Speaker 1: Let's go to Brian. You take a chance on your receiver.

433
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:39,679
Speaker 5: It's not a wide receiver.

434
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 4: We're going tight end tight out with Las Vegas is

435
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 4: Michael Mayer at Chicago.

436
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 5: So I'm all in on this game.

437
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 4: The rookie tight end Mayor broke out last week, and

438
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,719
Speaker 4: the Raiders continue to increase his usage as the season

439
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,239
Speaker 4: goes on. Mayor's snapshare over the last four weeks has

440
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,479
Speaker 4: gone from forty percent to fifty one percent, to sixty

441
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 4: six percent, and then to eighty one percent last week.

442
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 4: Chicago has only surrendered two tight end touchdowns so far,

443
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 4: but they are allowing six and a half catches and

444
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 4: fifty five yards per game to the position.

445
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 5: Those are very healthy numbers. So Michael Mayer, who I

446
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 5: believe it's Mayor, it's Mayor. It's not Meyer.

447
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,719
Speaker 4: But I know at an Order Dame when you'd make

448
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 4: a catch, they would play the Michael Meyers Halloween music

449
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,200
Speaker 4: every time, which was pretty dope.

450
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 5: They need to transfer that over to the NFL, but

451
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 5: I like that. We'll hear that dun dun dun dun

452
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 5: dun dun dum dund lots of times on Sunday.

453
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: Yeah. When my uh, when my daughter was very young

454
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: and we were doing animal sounds, you know, like cow

455
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: goes move very good.

456
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 5: That was like I got that.

457
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: I got that.

458
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, Puzzy on Brian was like over there not things I.

459
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 5: Had no idea.

460
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: I taught her shark goes done, done, done, done, done,

461
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: dune dune, dune, dune, dune, dune done. And you know

462
00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: she really believed. She buys it right me down. You

463
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: know when your kids two, you know they buy all

464
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: that stuff, So you can teach him anything.

465
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 3: The more I get to know you charge, the more

466
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 3: I know how much you lied to your daughter. That

467
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 3: is like as a toddler.

468
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: That is a fact and good parenting right There absolutely

469
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,120
Speaker 1: a lot of half truths. Washington wide receiver for Curtis

470
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: Samuels scored in three straight games, and I don't think

471
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,000
Speaker 1: we're chasing box scores, and we highlight an opportunity against

472
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: the Giants. Giants, he had good games against the Giants

473
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: last year when he was very lightly used. He was

474
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 1: averaging six targets per game in fifty four yards against

475
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: the Giants in the two games last year. The Giants

476
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 1: are a very leaky secondary, but what they don't give

477
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: up a lot of his air yards, and that underneath

478
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: stuff is where Curtis Samuel makes his money. So I

479
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: think it's going to be a lot of underneath looks

480
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: for him. Something called Cordell flat is your new starting

481
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: slot safety with the Dory Jackson questionable for the Giants.

482
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: Both of them, no matter who it is, they both

483
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: allow passer ratings over one hundred eight team on the season.

484
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 1: Clot in the slot lot allowed a touchdown last week

485
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: in his first game as a starter this year. Curtis Samuel,

486
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: your final take a chance at me player. As we

487
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: go to the Lions taking on the Ravens, I want

488
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: to start with the running game here. We know David

489
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,919
Speaker 1: Montgomery's out and Jamiir Gibbs has been proclaimed the starter

490
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: by Dan Campbell and he says he's going to get

491
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: the majority of the looks because Craig Reynolds is hurt.

492
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: And we'll talk more about Craig in a second. Detroit

493
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: leads the league in rushing attempts and his third in

494
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: both rushing yards and score, so opportunities should be here

495
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: for Jamiir Gibbs. Gibbs will get most to get most

496
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: of that work. Montgomery was averaging three carries from inside

497
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: the ten before going down. This team runs the ball

498
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,560
Speaker 1: a lot inside the ten. A lot of that could

499
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: go to Gibbs, depending on whether or not Reynolds is

500
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,440
Speaker 1: healthy enough to get that kind of work. Baltimore's run

501
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 1: defense has been elite in recent years, not as much

502
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: this year. They ranked tenth in run defense by Pro

503
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: Football Focus. They we ain't twentieth and run stuff win

504
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: rate by Espienzo. I think Gibbs can get a little

505
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: something done here. B grade on Jamiir Gibbs, and just

506
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 1: a C grade on Craig Reynolds. You know, you know

507
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: he's got the hamstring, he's got the toe injury. If

508
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: he plays at all, we assume it's going to be

509
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: in a diminished role here, but hopefully a touchdown opportunity

510
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 1: as they run the ball inside the ten as I

511
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: just talked about. We'll keep a C grade on Craig

512
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: Reynolds if he happens to play. As for the passing game,

513
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: this is a brutal matchup for everybody, including I'm on

514
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: rass Saint Brown, possibly the toughest matchup of his year.

515
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 1: Baltimore ranks number two in pass coverage by Pro Football Focus,

516
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 1: sixth an overall DVOA. I'm on ross Saint Brown is

517
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: a tricky matchup in the slot against Arthur Mallett, who

518
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 1: has yet to allow a touchdown this year, and is

519
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: giving up just twenty two yards per game in his coverage.

520
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: The good news Baltimore's cornerbacks play more man than zone,

521
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: and AARSB has been good against man coverage. So there's that.

522
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: I got a passer rating of one hundred and one

523
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: when targeted in man coverage, So that might be your

524
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 1: opportunity for a'm on Ross Saint Brown. Who clocks in

525
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 1: with a beeg? Right?

526
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 4: Do you want to play the game? Did the Ravens

527
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 4: pick a wide receiver over I'm on Ross Bronn.

528
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 1: Bateman might have been over. I'm on Ross Saint Brown,

529
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: Ding Ding Ding Correct? There we go well before I'm

530
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: on Ross Saint Brown. By the way, yeah, there's that

531
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: much more. We love it. We love I'm on Ross

532
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: Saint Brown.

533
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 2: So good.

534
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: Josh Reynolds comes in with a sea grade. He's turning

535
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 1: into a weekly fantasy play, but again, tough spot here.

536
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 1: For many of the reasons I just described, Baltimore's outside

537
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: cornerbacks have been outstanding over the last four weeks. Brandon

538
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: Stevens and Ronald Darby are both allowing passer ratings below

539
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: seventy one in catch rates below sixty five percent. Stevenson

540
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 1: has been targeted a lot man Maybe that helps Reynolds,

541
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: but mostly it's not turning into actual production. I can

542
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: only get you to a C grade on Josh Reynolds.

543
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: Sam Laporte has been a fantastic fine and like one

544
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: of the only overachievers at the tight end position in

545
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: the entire life. But this also brutal matchup for him too.

546
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: Baltimore allowing the fewest points to tight ends, They're one

547
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: of five teams not to allow a touchdown to the position,

548
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: and they allow the second fewest yards per game to

549
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: tight ends. Now, in fairness, Laporte is the best tight

550
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,639
Speaker 1: end they faced all year, So maybe a lot of

551
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:18,959
Speaker 1: perform the other guys that they face, but to this point,

552
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: it's been a very tough matchup and I can only

553
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: give you a C grade on Sam Laporta. Jamison Williams

554
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: is on the bench until he's on the field much

555
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 1: more often, I believe, just twelve snaps last week, So

556
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: we need him on the field more before we can

557
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: throw darts at Jamison Williams. And all of that leaves

558
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: us with Jared Goff clocking in with a B grade.

559
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: He's been great. This is again a very tough matchup, though,

560
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 1: Baltimore ranks number two in coverage by Pro Football Focus

561
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: and the return of cornerback Marlin Humphrey for the Ravens

562
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: has been a big boost. He's allowing just thirty two

563
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 1: yards per game in his coverage. Some extra volume may

564
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,160
Speaker 1: be coming because of the injuries to the running backs.

565
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: Nobody's healthy here, and if either Gibbs or Craig Reynolds

566
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: has a setback on their existing injuries, that would mean

567
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 1: even more passing. And I factored that in too, gave

568
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 1: him a B grade here. For Jared Goff it might

569
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: have otherwise been a C grade. Let's go to the

570
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: Ravens side. I want to start with the running game here.

571
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: We're going to leave both Gus Edwards and Justice Hill

572
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: on the bench. They're splitting work, which stinks. The Lions

573
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: run defense has been shockingly good. They're ranking number one

574
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 1: and run defense by Pro Football Focus. No back his

575
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: top forty three yards against the Lions. That is a

576
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: heck of a turnaround for them.

577
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 4: I feel like I've seen Gus Edwards take like five

578
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 4: carries at least from inside the five yard line and

579
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 4: just nothing.

580
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 5: Squad doosh, Yeah, I'm with you.

581
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 1: I don't think he's left a lot of yards on

582
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 1: the field, but it's there's still not much production to

583
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 1: be had. There only one runners scored against the Lions

584
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: all season long, so they're both on the bench. Let's

585
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 1: go to the passing game. Zay Flowers finally scored last week,

586
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: which I think helps fantasy managers realize just how good

587
00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: he's been now. Originally we'd worried that Flowers was going

588
00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: to run mostly from the slot and have some of

589
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 1: the imitations that come from most slot receivers. But he's

590
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: running in all parts of the field evenly, and if

591
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: Detroit's rookie's safety Brian Branch can't go, that puts Will

592
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,920
Speaker 1: Harris on the field, and he's been getting killed by

593
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: slot receivers. Detroit allows at least seventy yards to a

594
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 1: receiver in four of their last five games, and Zay

595
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: Flowers is the most likely guy to get that. So

596
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: he comes in with a B grade on Zay Flowers

597
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 1: and is really turning into an every week starter for

598
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,439
Speaker 1: your fantasy team. Mark Andrews is the only other receiver

599
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,239
Speaker 1: you care about from Baltimore. He's managed four or more

600
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 1: receptions in every game He's top sixty five receiving yards

601
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: in three straight games. Detroit's allowed the fourth most points

602
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: and the second most receptions and the second most yards

603
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: the tight ends this season. So it's a smash spot

604
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: for Mark Andrews, who comes in with an A grade. Now,

605
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: how about just not dropping any touchdowns? Mark Andrews, how

606
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: about it? It's not too much trouble. And that leaves

607
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: us with Lamar Jackson. For all the talk of Todd

608
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: Munkin ushering in this pass heavy game script to the

609
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: Ravens that is not materialized at all. There ranked thirtieth

610
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: and pass attempts thirtieth.

611
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 5: We need to start calling him Art Monkin. Now that's right.

612
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 5: Well we said don't call him that, but now we're

613
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 5: gonna call him this now.

614
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: So it's kind of the same old, same old. I mean,

615
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: low Volume's got Jackson ranking seventeenth in completions nineteenth and

616
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: passing yards twenty third in passing touchdowns. It's a bummer, honestly.

617
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: Baltimore's league average and pass blocking and contain and containing

618
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: he's gonna have to contain. They're gonna have to contain.

619
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year candidate Agent Aiden Hutchinson, who's

620
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: been really, really good, and I don't know if they're

621
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 1: gonna be up for that. But the rest of the

622
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 1: Lions don't rush particularly well. That's a team Detroit ranks

623
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: twenty seventh in pass rush win rate. So Jackson's legs

624
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: will be the wild card here as it usually is.

625
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: The Lions haven't faced a mobile quarterback this year, but

626
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: last year, justin Fields, Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen absolutely

627
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: hammered Detroit's defense. Get this, those three guys Fields, Jalen Hurts,

628
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: Josh Allen against the Lions last year average how many

629
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: rushing yards average?

630
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 3: Let's say eighty because I want to be in the neighborhood.

631
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 5: Sounds about right.

632
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: One hundred and twelve.

633
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 3: Wow. Wow, Yeah, So that's exciting.

634
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: That is exciting, Labar Jackson be great. Let's take a break.

635

638
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:32,240

644
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: from the league, their roster goes, so the waiver wire

Speaker 1: league dot com.

651
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 4: And we should clarify for those who are listening and

652
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 4: they're like, well, there was already a game played on Thursday.

653
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 5: You can still draft those players.

654
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 4: Insert them in your starting lineup and gets the points

655
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 4: Scout accumulated. And you know Travis etn was a fringe

656
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 4: first round pick. Maybe just take them first overall and

657
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 4: he take his two.

658
00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: Touchdowns, let's and survive a week. Survive a week, so

659
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: by himself he will probably get you to next week.

660
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 4: And so many studs like Jamar Chase Adam Fiehlen top

661
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 4: ten wide receiver on by.

662
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 5: How much of a discount do you get on those guys, it's.

663
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase on By.

664
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly.

665
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: Fascinating, absolute fascinating time to draft. You know what else

666
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: is fascinating? If you got any Colts in your lineup?

667
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 1: What are you going to do here against the best

668
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: on a defense that is historically good? Right now? Opposing

669
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: teams getting just fifty two plays per game against the Browns,

670
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 1: it's been an incredible run for their defense. I don't

671
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 1: think there's any Colts to play here other than maybe

672
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman. What do you think?

673
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 3: It's pretty grim. The Browns are number one in the

674
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 3: league in the following categories, passing completions allowed, passing yards allowed,

675
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 3: passing touchdowns allowed, running back touches per game, receptions yards

676
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 3: and touchdowns allowed to wide receivers, receptions and yards allowed

677
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 3: to tight ends. Yeah, let's leave all the colts on

678
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 3: the bench. Zach Taylor or Zach Taylor and Jonathan Moss

679
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 3: how about Oh yeah, it doesn't matter. They're both on

680
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:46,920
Speaker 3: the bench. It was an almost even split last week

681
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:49,520
Speaker 3: and snaps thirty seven to thirty two in favor of Moss,

682
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 3: completely tied in opportunities fourteen rushing attempts plus targets, A piece.

683
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,840
Speaker 3: If anything, it's trending the right way for Taylor in

684
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 3: his third week back. But if you're splitting ninety four

685
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 3: total yards and less than half of a score between

686
00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 3: Moss and Taylor, both of them have to be on

687
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 3: the bench. Gardner Minshew has played a portion of every

688
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 3: game this year for the Colts, and last week he

689
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 3: did put up three hundred and twenty nine yards in

690
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 3: a score plus three picks against his old team. Again.

691
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 3: Problem is, the Browns are allowing one hundred and forty

692
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 3: three passing yards and just under a touchdown per game.

693
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 3: If you need to start a Colts wide receiver because

694
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 3: you're in a weird league that has a requirement that

695
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,680
Speaker 3: you would start a Colts wide receiver, Michael Pittman's the

696
00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 3: only one you could consider. If the Colts do it right,

697
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 3: they'll flex Pittman out to the left most often, where

698
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 3: he'd face right cornerback Martin Emerson. That's the only soft

699
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 3: spot in the Browns secondary. He's allowing only twenty He's

700
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 3: allowing twenty three yards per reception in his coverage, but

701
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 3: he's only allowed six receptions on the season, so I

702
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 3: wouldn't start him. But if you have to in a pinch.

703
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 3: Michael Pittman's somebody, I guess that you could get a

704
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 3: low c on on the other side.

705
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, not a lot to love here.

706
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 3: A lot to love here either. Will it be PJ. Walker?

707
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 3: Will it be QB. Brown's? It sounds like it's going

708
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 3: to be QB. Brown's. He was a full participant, still

709
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 3: recovering from a rotator cuff strand on his throwing arm.

710
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 3: That's not a great thing to have when you have

711
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 3: to pass the ball. And it's a pretty good matchup too.

712
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,360
Speaker 3: The Colts are bottom ten and completions, pass yards and

713
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 3: rushing yards allowed to the opposing quarterback, but with an

714
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 3: unhealthy shoulder, it's just a C grade for the Browns.

715
00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 3: Qb Amari Cooper is the only Browns wide receiver you

716
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 3: could consider starting, although it's worth noting that he missed

717
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 3: Wednesday and Thursday practice for non injury related items. Cooper

718
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 3: and Elijah Moore are getting similar target shares, but the

719
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,280
Speaker 3: average depth of target for Cooper is fifteen point six.

720
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 3: That's good, and it's eight for Elijah Moore. More tends

721
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 3: to run from the slot, where he'll face Kenny Moore

722
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 3: most often. He has been the best of the Colts

723
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 3: corners this year.

724
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: Who gets more.

725
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 3: In the midnight hour? We cried more and more and more.

726
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 3: Yeah nice, I'll give Cooper a c here in an

727
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 3: above average matchup. The Colts are allowing the eleventh most

728
00:34:55,800 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 3: receptions and yards to opposing wide receivers. But still it's

729
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 3: the shoulder of QB. Browns that's the difference. David and

730
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 3: Joku A spots c start as well. Three different tight

731
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:07,879
Speaker 3: ends in the last three weeks have hit the ten

732
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,399
Speaker 3: PPR points mark. It's mostly been on volume. The Colts

733
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,879
Speaker 3: have allowed the fourth most receptions and the sixth most

734
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,440
Speaker 3: yards to the position this year, but only have given

735
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 3: up one score to a tight end this year. And finally,

736
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:23,080
Speaker 3: the running backs Jerome Ford and Kareem Hunt worth noting

737
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 3: the slight shift in Cleveland.

738
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.

739
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 3: In the last three weeks, Kareem Hunt snaps went fourteen fourteen,

740
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 3: twenty six. Jerome Ford snap stayed pretty close to the

741
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 3: same at around thirty seven per game, but the rushing

742
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,879
Speaker 3: attempts and targets were pretty close to a split. Last week,

743
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,919
Speaker 3: Hunt had fifteen opportunities, Ford had nineteen. It's clear both

744
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,879
Speaker 3: will be utilized and This could grow into almost an

745
00:35:44,920 --> 00:35:47,919
Speaker 3: even split before long. Maybe it's already there. This week

746
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 3: against the Colts, they face a team that's allowed seven

747
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 3: rushing touchdowns to opposing backs already. That's the fourth most

748
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,760
Speaker 3: in the league. They've also allowed the ninth most receiving

749
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,120
Speaker 3: yards and are seeing about twenty eight total running back

750
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 3: touches per game. That lines up for some good numbers

751
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:02,840
Speaker 3: for both of the runners. Even if it's a split.

752
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 3: I'll give a pair of sees to both of them.

753
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 3: But four it is closer to the b than Hunt.

754
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 1: Las Vegas taking on the Bears. Now, Brian, you already

755
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 1: told us about some elements of the Las Vegas passing

756
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: game that you like, and take a chance on me.

757
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: But let's go to Josh Jacobs with what feels like

758
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 1: a pretty good opportunity. Vikings could not cash in against

759
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,919
Speaker 1: the Bears last week. I like Josh Jacobs to do better.

760
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, as do I I'm giving Jacobs an a.

761
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,880
Speaker 4: It's not the best matchup on the ground, as the

762
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 4: Bears allowed the tenth fewest rushing yards per game to

763
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 4: opposing running backs.

764
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 5: The real angle here is through the air. For Jacobs.

765
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 4: The Bears allowed the most receiving yards per game to

766
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 4: opposing backs sixty one per game, and Jacobs leads all

767
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 4: running backs with nearly in targets with nearly six per game.

768
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 5: So I like Jacobs a lot and his usual bell

769
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 5: cow role here.

770
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 4: Speaking of liking a player a lot, you can't like

771
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,880
Speaker 4: Devonte Adams a whole lot over the last two weeks.

772
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 4: Just six catches for seventy four scoreless yards across his

773
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 4: last two still giving him a bee here, though, this

774
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 4: feels like the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

775
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,520
Speaker 1: I think kind of game if you were a good

776
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: enough player. Squeaky wheel almost always works if you're a

777
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: good enough player, and Adams is, and.

778
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 4: Adams certainly has played his fair share of games against

779
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 4: the Bears in his time with the Packers. The Bears

780
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 4: are allowing one hundred and sixty yards at more than

781
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 4: a touchdown per game to opposing wideout. So a B

782
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 4: for Adams and a B for Jakobe Myers, who was

783
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 4: just red hot right now. Meyers with twelve catches, one

784
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 4: hundred and thirty six yards and two touchdowns across his

785
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,839
Speaker 4: last two games. Myers is now just one of nine

786
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:41,720
Speaker 4: wide receivers with at least four touchdowns this year. Only

787
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 4: he and Keenan Allen have played five games. Among those

788
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:46,920
Speaker 4: nine wide receivers on that list, the other seven have

789
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 4: played six. So Myers red hot safe b for him

790
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 4: and Michael Mayer. Might take a chance on me pass catcher,

791
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 4: and it's confirmed Brian Hoyer is Raiders quarterback this week

792
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 4: against the Bears. He might take a chance on me quarterback.

793
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 4: Over to the Bear side, Dante Foreman gets a see

794
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 4: he will be starting will be the starting running back

795
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 4: for Chicago and this one. The Raiders have surrendered three

796
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 4: rushing touchdowns to running backs over the last two weeks,

797
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 4: and on the season, the Raiders are allowing nearly one

798
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 4: hundred and thirty compo yards per game to running back.

799
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 4: So a safe sea for Foreman. And that's why I

800
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 4: had Travis Homer. Its might take a chance on me

801
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,479
Speaker 4: running back and by Coop, excuse me by apocalypse part

802
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 4: one by Pocalytpa, take a D three, take a shot

803
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 4: on Travis Homer. If you're imedy at running back like

804
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 4: most of us are, DJ Moore, just to see for

805
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,680
Speaker 4: him in this game. You have to downgrade more based

806
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,760
Speaker 4: on the Bears quarterback situation. Which we'll discuss in a minute,

807
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 4: very briefly, we'll discuss it. But regardless of who is

808
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 4: under cender, this is not a great matchup on paper

809
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 4: for posing wide receivers. The Raiders have allowed the fifth

810
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 4: fewest catches per game to opposing wide receivers, and no

811
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 4: opposing wide out has topped one hundred yards against Las Vegas.

812
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:03,040
Speaker 4: For those reasons, Darnell Mooney is on the bench, but

813
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 4: I will give cole kmet a c in the tight

814
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 4: end waste land, the Raiders are allowing nearly six catches

815
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 4: and fifty yards per game to tight ends.

816
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 5: We will take that all day, every day if we.

817
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 4: Can get eleven PPR points from our tight end in

818
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 4: the waste land.

819
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:17,280
Speaker 5: And I alluded to.

820
00:39:17,160 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 4: The the quarterback situation in Chicago, it's Tyler. I'm sorry,

821
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 4: Tyson Bajant secret Bagient man, it's on the bench.

822
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 5: I don't know that's the best.

823
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,399
Speaker 1: No, yeah, obviously he's on the bench.

824
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:32,760
Speaker 5: Secret.

825
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 4: I don't know what else can we do with Bajient

826
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 4: double O seven. He'll score zero zero point seven.

827
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 1: Points something like that. Commander's taking on the Giants. We'll

828
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 1: just move along here. I like a lot of Commanders

829
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:56,280
Speaker 1: in this game A grade four, Matty McLaurin.

830
00:39:56,480 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 4: Oh the other way, Oh yeah, absolutely.

831
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 5: That's all the sound effects from really Commanders.

832
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 1: He's got a bunch. Terry mclaur in awesome history against

833
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 1: the Giants, averaging seven receptions for ninety three yards and

834
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 1: half a touchdown against his divisional rival. He's top seventy

835
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: yards in every lifetime matchup against the Giants. Cornerback of

836
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:20,400
Speaker 1: Dory Jackson questionable with a neck injury. Jackson has allowed

837
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: the fifth most yards of any cornerback to season, So

838
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: even if he goes, it's a great matchup for McLaurin.

839
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 1: And if he doesn't, replacement cornerback Trey Hawkins is even

840
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 1: worse and he's giving up the deepest a out of

841
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:35,840
Speaker 1: any cornerback in the league. So game on, Terry McLaurin,

842
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,320
Speaker 1: love it a grade for him. Let's go to further receivers.

843
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 1: Curtis Samuels might take a chance on my receiver, and

844
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 1: even the much maligned and non producing Johan Dotson. We're

845
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 1: gonna give him one last crack in this bipocalypse twenty three.

846
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:54,760
Speaker 4: Well, they vowed to get the ball in his hands

847
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 4: more yea awesome, that is. But that's because now he

848
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 4: is now the placeholder.

849
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:02,800
Speaker 5: Yeah. Just I'd say it's the holder of point per

850
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:03,960
Speaker 5: place holder.

851
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 1: Yeah for laces out point per laces out. Dotson by

852
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: week dart throw here, he leads all Commanders receivers and snaps.

853
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 1: He's second in targets. He just never there's just no

854
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:17,760
Speaker 1: production to go with it. But the Giants secondary so bad,

855
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: this could be Dotson's breakout game of the year. I

856
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,480
Speaker 1: already told you that the cornerback problems they're having. The

857
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: probable starting cornerbacks for the Giants are going to roll

858
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 1: into this game with these Pro Football Focus rankings ninety third,

859
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,799
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirteenth, and one hundred and twenty three.

860
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: There's an opportunity for Johan Dotson for a breakout game

861
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: right here, Logan Thomas, you'd expect the Giants are yielding

862
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: against tight ends. Since the opener. The Giants are allowing

863
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,439
Speaker 1: sixty eight tight end receiving yards per game, which would

864
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 1: be fourth worst across the full season. Thomas is very

865
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,560
Speaker 1: involved in the offense, averaging five targets and four catches

866
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: per game, including a red zone target per game. Be

867
00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 1: great on Logan Thomas. If I didn't say a grade

868
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 1: on Johan Dotson, it's a C grade for him, and

869
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,040
Speaker 1: so all of those receivers together. Obviously, I like the

870
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:10,800
Speaker 1: passing game here, and I like my guy Sam Howell

871
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: on pace to shatter the single season sack record along

872
00:42:16,680 --> 00:42:21,880
Speaker 1: with several Vertebrae's on pace for ninety six sacks. Ninety

873
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 1: six Somewhere, David Carr is involuntarily wincing at Sam Howell

874
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,719
Speaker 1: Howell seeing pressure. I'm thirty four percent of his dropbacks.

875
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 1: That's the league's worst number. Now, Worryingly, the Giants pass

876
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 1: rush win rate is tenth best, and that's like the

877
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 1: one thing the Giants are still good at. Dexter Lawrence

878
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 1: getting at opposing quarterbacks. But still, Sam Howe has been good, impressively,

879
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 1: sitting in the top ten among all quarterbacks in completions,

880
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: completion percentage, and touchdown passes. For Sam Howell clocking in

881
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,680
Speaker 1: with a B grade, Let's go over to Brian Robinson.

882
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 1: By the way, this sounds like a bunch of guys

883
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 1: doing a wolf folel. It doesn't even sound like real wolves.

884
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 1: It's it's me dot real wolves, not guys sounding like wolves.

885
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 1: Thank you.

886
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 3: Anything for you charge.

887
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: Brian Robinson matchup starter and this is the right matchup.

888
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: In six career games against the Giants, he's averaging seventy

889
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 1: combined yards and nearly a score per game. Giants are

890
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 1: bottom ten and run stuff win rate. The Giants have

891
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: allowed six opposing running backs to rush for at least

892
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 1: sixty five yards and a score. So a great opportunity

893
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,240
Speaker 1: for Brian Robinson, who comes in with a B grade

894
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: and Antonio Gibson was my take a chance on me runner.

895
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: Let's go over to the Giants side, where there's a

896
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: lot less to like. Sakwon Barkley comes in with a

897
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:43,439
Speaker 1: B grade. Giants offensive line ranks dead last and run

898
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,400
Speaker 1: block win rate, and we know they're going to be

899
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:49,120
Speaker 1: missing three offensive linemen in this game, including Andrew Thomas

900
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 1: and Senator John Michael Schmidts. Fortunately, Washington a middling run defense,

901
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: so there's still opportunity for Barkley. Barkley's closest comparable, running

902
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 1: back Jon Robinson, last week got steming on the ground

903
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 1: but caught five passes. I like that here and then

904
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor's a consideration you could have. He runs around

905
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 1: a lot, very mobile commanders have allowed the second most

906
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:13,239
Speaker 1: quarterback rushing yards last year, Daniel Daniel Jones ran for

907
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 1: one hundred and six and in the two matchups with Washington,

908
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:17,959
Speaker 1: if it is Taylor, if it's not, you could also

909
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: consider a dart throw at Daniel Jones, mostly for what

910
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: he could do on the ground. And then, lastly, Darren

911
00:44:24,200 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 1: Waller startble in this matchup. Some signs of life lately

912
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: with nineteen targets the past two weeks and he's caught

913
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 1: eighty percent of his targets over the past three games.

914
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: A healthy eight yard a dot here in Washington, a

915
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,920
Speaker 1: middle of the pack tight end defense in the bipocalypse,

916
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:41,720
Speaker 1: you probably have to start Darren Waller with a C grade,

917
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 1: B grade on Barkley, C grade on Tyrod Taylor, and

918
00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 1: or Daniel Jones. When we come back, A game we

919
00:44:48,880 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 1: like to call three tough questions, Stay tuned our number

920
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,959
Speaker 1: two Fantasy Football Weekly A game we like to call

921
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 1: three tough questions. Play along, see if you can go

922
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:22,280
Speaker 1: three and oh with our panel of experts.

923
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 6: Tough question number one.

924
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 1: They tell me that they don't think you got it. Well,

925
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,399
Speaker 1: you guys are saying on the break, you don't think

926
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 1: that our listeners can go three and oh.

927
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:33,280
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I was saying that.

928
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 5: Oh, I always like their chances more than mine, the listeners.

929
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 1: That's true. But none of these are Abu Kyle Pitts.

930
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 1: So you're not automatically going to lose.

931
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:41,399
Speaker 5: Oh, that's good.

932
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:45,080
Speaker 6: Tough. Question number one.

933
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 1: For teams that are six and oh or five and one,

934
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 1: is it too early to start molding your roster for

935
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:52,919
Speaker 1: the playoffs? We begin with Matt.

936
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 3: If you go to week fourteen, you have eight weeks

937
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:57,399
Speaker 3: left and all you got to do is go five

938
00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,400
Speaker 3: hundred to be ten and four, nine and five, and

939
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 3: most of those leagues, that's good enough to make the playoffs.

940
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,280
Speaker 3: So not too early to start looking ahead at the playoffs.

941
00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 3: Maybe start targeting some of the league's worst defenses, making

942
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 3: some even trades, like, for instance, look at Denver, who

943
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 3: has the Lions, Patriots, and Chargers in the playoffs, Or

944
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 3: look at Arizona who has the forty nine Ers, Bears,

945
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,440
Speaker 3: and Eagles in the playoffs. That's what you should kind

946
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 3: of be looking at right now. So yes, yeah, go ahead, Okay,

947
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:24,800
Speaker 3: start molding. Not too early, yeah, you say, Brian.

948
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: For teams that are six and zero or five and one,

949
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 1: Is it too early to start molding your roster for

950
00:46:29,840 --> 00:46:30,440
Speaker 1: the playoffs?

951
00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 4: No, definitely not too early. It's the perfect time and

952
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:35,879
Speaker 4: things you can be doing this week with so many

953
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:39,240
Speaker 4: teams on by look at the teams in your league

954
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:43,319
Speaker 4: that maybe have the ceed Lamb or Garrett Wilson, one

955
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:46,320
Speaker 4: of these studs on by your Higgens, Jammy mar Chaks

956
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 4: who've been underperforming by low on those guys, and just

957
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,280
Speaker 4: you can afford to look ahead. As Matt Matt mentioned,

958
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:56,600
Speaker 4: you're essentially guaranteed to make the playoffs. You're not one

959
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 4: hundred percent guaranteed, but very good chance you do. But yeah,

960
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,799
Speaker 4: start playing the matchups in the later weeks. Make sure

961
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,799
Speaker 4: you have sound backups. But yeah, this is the time

962
00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 4: to look at players who had a rough schedule. Damian

963
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,200
Speaker 4: Peters is definitely won on buy this week, had a

964
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:12,040
Speaker 4: brutal stretch to start at.

965
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: All time low on. David, You're sorry that all.

966
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 4: The time, Low, But the answer is no, it is

967
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 4: definitely not too early to start molding your lineups.

968
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:22,799
Speaker 1: You are both correct. Really, we're trading October wins for

969
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: December wins, and that's fine. And as Matt I did,

970
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: the exact same math that Matt did. If I played

971
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: just five hundred balls, apparently I've got a very good

972
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 1: team if I'm six and OHM five and one. If

973
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 1: I just if that drops down to five hundred, I'm

974
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 1: still making the playoffs one hundred percent if I play

975
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 1: five hundred ball the rest of the way. So now

976
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,760
Speaker 1: we're looking at acquiring players who can help us later

977
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 1: that you can get now. How about injured players David Montgomery,

978
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:51,799
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, Justin Jefferson. Go get these guys that are

979
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: likely to be healthy by then and aren't healthy right

980
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 1: now because you can take those losses. How About backups

981
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: that could be in lead spots by December for whatever reason.

982
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 1: What if Alexander Madison doesn't get any better and they

983
00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 1: go to cam Akers. What if Derrick Henry gets hurt

984
00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 1: and they go to Taja Spears or they trade them.

985
00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 1: Let's talk about trading Derrick Henry. What if Jeff What

986
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 1: if Marhem Moster gets hurt, which he always does. What

987
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: if it's Jeff Wilson's job by then? These are the

988
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:23,799
Speaker 1: kinds of moves that you could take speculatively now to

989
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:25,760
Speaker 1: help your team in December.

990
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:30,800
Speaker 6: Tough question number two for Dynasty.

991
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:35,400
Speaker 1: And Empire leagues. Specifically, are you buying low on Jordan Love?

992
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:38,760
Speaker 1: M We discussed Love a little bit earlier, easy matchup

993
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 1: this week, but obviously our vision here on this question

994
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 1: is years down the road, not just week seven. Brian,

995
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 1: what do you think.

996
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:51,880
Speaker 4: I was going to initially compartmentalize this into one quarterback

997
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 4: and then super flex leagues when I answered, but I'm

998
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 4: going to love them together and say yes, I am

999
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 4: going to buy low on Jordan Love.

1000
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:01,560
Speaker 5: He's had is ups and downs so far. This year.

1001
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 4: Was a Gangbusters to start look great, but he's had

1002
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 4: his down games. But in all reality, the Packers haven't

1003
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:10,919
Speaker 4: had their full offense on the field altogether at once.

1004
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 4: Christian Watson was injured to start the season. Then Aaron

1005
00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,040
Speaker 4: Jones went down, so they just haven't.

1006
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:16,840
Speaker 1: Had Dobbs was injured.

1007
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:20,120
Speaker 4: Dubbs was injured, so they haven't had their full arsenal.

1008
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:23,360
Speaker 4: And Love does lead the league right now in average

1009
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 4: depth of target at nine point eight yards, So let's

1010
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,399
Speaker 4: see what he can do with Watson healthy, which will

1011
00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:29,879
Speaker 4: be this week.

1012
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:31,919
Speaker 5: You broke the matchup down early.

1013
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 4: We don't know if Aaron Jones will be back, but

1014
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 4: I want to see this whole Packers offense with everyone

1015
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 4: healthy before I give a final verdict on Jordan Love's.

1016
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 5: Outlook, But as of right now, I will buy low.

1017
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 1: All right, So you're a yes on that, Matt. For

1018
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: Dynasty and Empire League specifically, are you buying low on

1019
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 1: Jordan Love Well?

1020
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 3: First off? In a Dynasty League, I'm not really sure

1021
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 3: that it's a by low moment on Jordan Love because

1022
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 3: chances are whoever has him either has had him on

1023
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:59,239
Speaker 3: roster for three years or they traded to go get

1024
00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 3: him before this, and they really like him. So I

1025
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 3: don't think that there's too much of a by low opportunity.

1026
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:06,879
Speaker 3: But if the question is do I believe better days

1027
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 3: are ahead for him than the last three weeks, yes,

1028
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 3: I do. His passing still needs more seasoning, but that

1029
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 3: grows with reps. And he does add a very decent

1030
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 3: rushing element that's going underrated. He's put up twenty rushing

1031
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,560
Speaker 3: yards or more in three of four games and scored

1032
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 3: twice on the ground in the last three weeks. I

1033
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 3: think that he's a very solid contributor there too.

1034
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 1: Agree with many of the points you already said, and

1035
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 1: I'm on yes and this I disagree with your assertion

1036
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 1: that whoever Scott Jordan Love is not worried right now.

1037
00:50:33,719 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: The play has not been great, super inconsistent. If you

1038
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 1: have held him for years, you're not getting the payoff

1039
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: you expect.

1040
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 3: I just don't think that in a dynasty league people

1041
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 3: are like, oh, five weeks in, I'm ditching him after

1042
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 3: holding them for two and a half years.

1043
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:47,480
Speaker 1: I don't think you know anything about fantasy players. You

1044
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: think they don't get nervous through six weeks.

1045
00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 3: Dynasty players are a little bit of a different breed

1046
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:52,360
Speaker 3: in my opinion.

1047
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 1: But uh huh, okay, all right, So we're seven games

1048
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 1: into his NFL career and there are troubling traits like

1049
00:50:57,719 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: the processing speed and the accuracy, but we love the

1050
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 1: big arm, we love the mobility, and Brian, I think

1051
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:06,759
Speaker 1: hit on the biggest thing we haven't seen this offense.

1052
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:09,800
Speaker 1: The offensive line decimated by injuries, the running back position

1053
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: decimated by injury, and then the wide receivers all all

1054
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: been injured at various times. So I'm still I'm not

1055
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:20,880
Speaker 1: ready to say that Jordan Love's not going to end

1056
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 1: up being a pretty significant fantasy factor. And I'm trying

1057
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 1: to find out what I can get Jordan love for

1058
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 1: right now.

1059
00:51:26,719 --> 00:51:29,399
Speaker 6: Tough question number three.

1060
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:32,800
Speaker 1: What is the appropriate level of concern for Reshad White?

1061
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 1: Is it none? Is it some? Or is it a

1062
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:39,880
Speaker 1: bowel loosening level of existential dread?

1063
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:43,560
Speaker 3: We begin with Matt So I looked this up and

1064
00:51:43,600 --> 00:51:45,400
Speaker 3: it was on the internet, so it has to be true.

1065
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:49,040
Speaker 3: On May sixteenth of this year, in Burnsville, Minnesota, mother

1066
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 3: was in a Caribou coffee drive through when mysteriously it

1067
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 3: started raining poop on their car. The incident was unsolved

1068
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 3: until right now. It was due to Rashad White fantasy

1069
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 3: owners in nearby apartment complexes. He's on the field for

1070
00:52:02,719 --> 00:52:04,799
Speaker 3: eighty percent of the Bucks snaps this year, and he's

1071
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:07,879
Speaker 3: done almost nothing. I mentioned in the matchup that he's

1072
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:11,360
Speaker 3: top ten PPR points only once this season. He's seventy

1073
00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 3: fourth in the league in rushing yards per attempt at

1074
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 3: three point three. He has one rushing score in his

1075
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:20,400
Speaker 3: last nineteen games, and he's topped sixty rushing yards twice

1076
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:24,400
Speaker 3: in his twenty two career games. He's not good. He's blowed.

1077
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:28,360
Speaker 1: He's blowed, and you're blowed thinking about Yeah, he blew

1078
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 1: on a Caribou drive Throo. Yeah, in midsomb not specifically him,

1079
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:37,279
Speaker 1: but oh his fantasy owners are nearby bowa loosening levels

1080
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 1: of existential dread obviously, Yeah, absolutely, Brian. Appropriate level of

1081
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:45,480
Speaker 1: concern for Rashad White none, some or blowed.

1082
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,680
Speaker 4: I was close to blow, but I'm at some right now,

1083
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 4: even though I'm a Sean Tucker bobo. But he's taken

1084
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 4: the back seat to Keishaan Vaughan as the what is

1085
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:59,160
Speaker 4: that backup running back? So that says there's not a

1086
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:02,280
Speaker 4: ton of talents in that backfield and that includes White.

1087
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:05,279
Speaker 4: But it's been a tough start for White in terms

1088
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 4: of matchups. I have to attribute a lot of these

1089
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 4: stats to Graham Barfield. I read this on Twitter. So

1090
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 4: the Bucks have generated zero point six y' eight adjusted

1091
00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:18,279
Speaker 4: yards before contact for their running backs. That is the

1092
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 4: third fewest. Now you couple that with their gauntlet of

1093
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 4: a start. When it comes to matchups four opposing running backs,

1094
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:27,720
Speaker 4: They've had the Vikings, who have allowed the eleventh fewest

1095
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 4: yards per carry, then Chicago third fewest, Philadelphia fourth fewest,

1096
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:36,319
Speaker 4: New Orleans ninth fewest, Detroit. Last week for Tampa Bay

1097
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 4: second fewest, and this week they get the Falcons allowing

1098
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:42,920
Speaker 4: just three point three yards per carry, So it's not

1099
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 4: all his fault. So that's why I'm at some. But

1100
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 4: hopefully the schedule softens up a little bit for White.

1101
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:50,839
Speaker 4: But you're not gonna get any reprieve.

1102
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 5: This week, it sounds like, but I'm at some, not blowed.

1103
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys are. You've hit on a lot of

1104
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 1: my talking points already, and you've backed it up with

1105
00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 1: a lot of salient data. Let me add this one.

1106
00:54:00,239 --> 00:54:05,040
Speaker 1: In third worst rushing yards over expectation, where shot White

1107
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:09,799
Speaker 1: at negative one yards over expectation, So that's technically under expectation.

1108
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 3: Over expectation.

1109
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 1: He's negatively negative over Yes, So now I thought he

1110
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 1: was going to be a more capable receiver than he

1111
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 1: has been. Just seventeen catches to this point of the season,

1112
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:27,840
Speaker 1: he's averaging three catches for twenty yards. I went into

1113
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 1: this question assuming the answer was going to be blowed.

1114
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:35,399
Speaker 1: But in fantasy football, opportunity means more than ability does.

1115
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:38,839
Speaker 1: The ability isn't there, the offensive line's not there, but

1116
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 1: there's nobody pushing him for touches, and in with all

1117
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 1: of the injuries and everything else at the running back position,

1118
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 1: I got bigger problems. Honestly, then we're Shot White clocking

1119
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,759
Speaker 1: in for nine to ten Fantasy points a game. I

1120
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:54,319
Speaker 1: got bigger fish to fry. The answer is some Let's

1121
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 1: go back to the matchups. Matt Arizona Cardinals taking the

1122
00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:00,000
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. He already talked a little bit about Josh

1123
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:02,680
Speaker 1: Dobbs is a take a chance for me quarterback. How

1124
00:55:02,719 --> 00:55:08,000
Speaker 1: about his primary receiver in this game, Marquise Hollywood Brown.

1125
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:09,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's the only one I'd start out of the

1126
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 3: wide receivers. He'll line up most open with Tarik Woolan,

1127
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:17,799
Speaker 3: who has a one twenty passer rating in coverage this year,

1128
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 3: and he's already allowed two scores. Brown has double digit

1129
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:24,560
Speaker 3: targets in four of the last five weeks, so he

1130
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:28,440
Speaker 3: is a solid B grade here. Michael Wilson's two to

1131
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:30,719
Speaker 3: four targets in the last two weeks aren't enough to

1132
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:34,240
Speaker 3: warrant consideration, and Ronde al Moore's average depth of target

1133
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 3: is two point four. That's a complete disaster. So those

1134
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:39,319
Speaker 3: two are on the bench. Zach Ertz is on the

1135
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 3: bench too. Seattle's been very good against tight ends this year.

1136
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:44,800
Speaker 3: They haven't allowed a tight end score since week fifteen

1137
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,880
Speaker 3: of last season, and Ertz has only seen four targets

1138
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:50,280
Speaker 3: per game in each of the last two weeks. Seattle's

1139
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:52,719
Speaker 3: only seen one tight end top the fifty yard mark

1140
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 3: in their last six games. The running back situation is

1141
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:59,000
Speaker 3: absolutely gross and you should stay away from it. Imari

1142
00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:01,960
Speaker 3: de Marcado at the most snaps last week at thirty three,

1143
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 3: but only had three touches. Keyante Ingram had twenty six

1144
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:08,640
Speaker 3: snaps and twelve touches but did almost nothing with them.

1145
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 3: And then they activated Damian Williams from the practice squad.

1146
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:14,799
Speaker 3: He got nine touches on twelve snaps, and then they

1147
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 3: sent him back to the practice squad this week, which

1148
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 3: I don't understand.

1149
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 1: Just eye test. He ran the hardest of the three

1150
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 1: by a mile. I'm like, well, he looks like the best.

1151
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,399
Speaker 3: I mean, nine touches on twelve snaps says something. They

1152
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 3: trusted him more than anybody else.

1153
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 1: And then they sent him back to practice squad.

1154
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:33,120
Speaker 3: Exactly. No, I mean they could elevate him again, I suppose,

1155
00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:35,920
Speaker 3: but Seattle's only allowing two point six yards per carry.

1156
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:38,360
Speaker 3: That's the best mark in the league, so everybody's on

1157
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 3: the bench. Kenneth Walker on the other side, he gets

1158
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 3: my fantasy Ardvark. This week, you get the fantasy yard

1159
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 3: var He's a double A grade For those keeping count

1160
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:53,240
Speaker 3: at home, the cards are allowing one hundred and forty

1161
00:56:53,280 --> 00:56:56,279
Speaker 3: four combo yards and a score and a half per

1162
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:59,520
Speaker 3: game to the running back position. Walker's still getting almost

1163
00:56:59,600 --> 00:57:02,320
Speaker 3: all the war He's averaging nineteen touches per game and

1164
00:57:02,360 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 3: a scored six times in the last four weeks. He's

1165
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:08,960
Speaker 3: a solid double A start this week. Gino Smith, He's

1166
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,240
Speaker 3: a B grade here. He's hit at least two hundred

1167
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:13,320
Speaker 3: ninety six yards and three of his last four and

1168
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 3: he faces a Cardinals defense that's allowing the fourth most

1169
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 3: passing yards in the league at two hundred sixty six

1170
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 3: per game. But the issue is, and I mentioned it

1171
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 3: on take a chance on me. Dk Metcalf and Tyler

1172
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:29,120
Speaker 3: Lockett both kind of working with some nagging injuries. Lockett's

1173
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 3: trending the right way, Metcalf the wrong way. Jackson Smith

1174
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 3: and Jigbo was might take a chance on me wide

1175
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 3: receiver with a B grade, and I like him. There's

1176
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 3: definitely no tight ends that I want to start for

1177
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 3: the Seattle Seahawks.

1178
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 1: Hey, speaking of tight ends. Let's keep an eye on

1179
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:48,959
Speaker 1: this emerging Trey McBride Zach zach Ertz thing, because sure

1180
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 1: Bride's usage is going up.

1181
00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 3: Zachson. Mc bride's a sneaky good play and if he's

1182
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:56,960
Speaker 3: available in a dynasty league that you're in, he's a

1183
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 3: good stash.

1184
00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:00,680
Speaker 4: Right now, let me throw out real quick, if Metcalf

1185
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 4: were to sit for those daily players out there, Jake

1186
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:08,320
Speaker 4: Bobo baby probably bare minimum just sitting out there waiting

1187
00:58:08,360 --> 00:58:08,920
Speaker 4: for your.

1188
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:11,720
Speaker 5: I can't think of it.

1189
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 3: Wait for the.

1190
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 5: Bobo Bobo sla.

1191
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 3: I'm a Bobo Bobo.

1192
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:17,960
Speaker 5: I've said it a long time. I just loved the name.

1193
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 5: Jake Bobo.

1194
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers taking on the Los Angeles Rams Brian and

1195
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 1: for Pittsburgh, Uh, it's been a very rough go. But

1196
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:29,920
Speaker 1: they may get back Deontay Johnson in this game. Off

1197
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:33,080
Speaker 1: I are has the opportunity to get elevated for this one.

1198
00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 1: Could come back. Maybe that's a spark this offense needs.

1199
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, Deontay A.

1200
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:39,320
Speaker 4: Johnson not listed on the injury report, so he sounds

1201
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:41,440
Speaker 4: like he will return from that hamsterring injury. So we'll

1202
00:58:41,440 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 4: start with him and George Pickens, but just to see

1203
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 4: for both Pickens and Johnson. The Rams are allowing a

1204
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 4: meager eleven catches and one hundred and thirty one yards

1205
00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:53,720
Speaker 4: per game to opposing wide receivers and just one total

1206
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:58,200
Speaker 4: touchdown to the position all year. LA's outside corners are

1207
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:01,160
Speaker 4: Legit Darien Kendrick and a with the It's been both

1208
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:05,640
Speaker 4: on a forty five percent catch rate and their coverage combined,

1209
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:08,680
Speaker 4: they've only allowed eleven receptions on the season. That's one

1210
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:10,840
Speaker 4: every twenty coverage snaps.

1211
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 5: Yikes.

1212
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 4: So softest of seeds for Pickens and Deontay Johnson and

1213
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:19,440
Speaker 4: Pat Firemouth No C, no D. He's on the bench,

1214
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:22,720
Speaker 4: not expected to play with the hamstring injury, and it's

1215
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:25,360
Speaker 4: unfortunate because this is a good matchup for tight ends.

1216
00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:28,320
Speaker 4: The Rams are allowing five catches, sixty nine yards and

1217
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:31,200
Speaker 4: half a touchdown per game to tight ends. But you're

1218
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 4: flipping a coin now between Connor Hayward and Darnell Washington,

1219
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:39,720
Speaker 4: Who's an exciting rookie, but Hayward's been seeing more targets

1220
00:59:39,760 --> 00:59:42,720
Speaker 4: than Washington when they both see snaps. If I had

1221
00:59:42,760 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 4: to pick one would be Hayward. But they're both on

1222
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 4: the bench in this game, as is Kenny Pickett. He'll

1223
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:51,960
Speaker 4: be sitting on the bench next to Hayward and Darnell Washington.

1224
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 4: The Ram sep surrendered four passing touchdowns and six games

1225
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:55,640
Speaker 4: this year.

1226
00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 5: That is not a lot. And also on the bench.

1227
00:59:58,680 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 4: For the Steelers are running backs Jalen Warren and Najie Harris.

1228
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:05,280
Speaker 4: I list Warren first because he is the better running

1229
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:09,000
Speaker 4: back between the two. Warren has outscored Najie Harris and

1230
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:11,360
Speaker 4: Fantasy points in every game this season, all five that

1231
01:00:11,680 --> 01:00:13,880
Speaker 4: Brig has played. I didn't realize it was that lopside.

1232
01:00:13,920 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 4: It is, and he has only seen fifty five touches,

1233
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 4: twenty one being catches. Harris has sixty eight touches, just

1234
01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:23,680
Speaker 4: five being catches. But more touches for Harris, but he's

1235
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:26,760
Speaker 4: getting outscored by Warren. But a bad matchup for both.

1236
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:30,120
Speaker 4: The Rams are yielding less than twenty four touches per

1237
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:32,520
Speaker 4: game to running backs for just one hundred and four

1238
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 4: combo yards, So Warren and Harris on the bench in

1239
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:40,160
Speaker 4: this one. Now over to the running backs for the Rams.

1240
01:00:40,320 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 4: This is about as ugly as it gets with my

1241
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 4: boy Kyra and Williams already ruled out his backup Ronnie

1242
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 4: Rivers ruled out, So now we're looking at Zach Evans,

1243
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:52,479
Speaker 4: Royce Freeman mile.

1244
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:58,240
Speaker 1: Okay, go ahead, Royce Royce, drop the piano, Freeman, let's go,

1245
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:01,360
Speaker 1: let's kill. Let's go with the official signed FFW name.

1246
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 4: Well, how many pianos does Darryl Henderson carry on?

1247
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:06,960
Speaker 5: He's back on the.

1248
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 3: Baby grand I think it is about how many pianos

1249
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:11,840
Speaker 3: does Royce Freeman have?

1250
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 1: Three?

1251
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:13,200
Speaker 3: Okay?

1252
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 1: It does the Steinways full on Steinways that he's dragging

1253
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 1: behind him.

1254
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:19,080
Speaker 3: That's a nice piano.

1255
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:22,040
Speaker 4: I can't give a starting grade to anyone in this backfield.

1256
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 4: I'm still in shock over Kyen Williams and his ankle sprain.

1257
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 4: I'm very sad over this. But not a great matchup.

1258
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 4: Can't start any of these running backs for the Rams.

1259
01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:33,440
Speaker 4: The Steelers allowing less than a touchdown per game to

1260
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:35,240
Speaker 4: opposing running backs, and this is going to be the

1261
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:37,160
Speaker 4: platoon of all platoons, and that's.

1262
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 1: What worries me. So it's going to be stupid Darryl

1263
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 1: Henderson getting the most garried.

1264
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:43,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's a four headed coin flip.

1265
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:46,160
Speaker 1: And was I wanted to be Zach Evans, who had

1266
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:49,520
Speaker 1: some really good traits at ole Miss and I feel

1267
01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 1: like he has he could be special, and all these

1268
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:55,520
Speaker 1: other running backs stink, but just the NFL doesn't work

1269
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 1: that way. And the fact that Zach Evans hadn't gotten

1270
01:01:58,400 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 1: himself into position to get really any work before now

1271
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:04,080
Speaker 1: tells me that John McVay didn't trust him and didn't

1272
01:02:04,080 --> 01:02:04,880
Speaker 1: want him on the field.

1273
01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:05,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, a lot of.

1274
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 4: Nervous, A lot of mystery in that backfield. We don't

1275
01:02:08,160 --> 01:02:09,760
Speaker 4: want to mess with that. Not a lot of mystery

1276
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 4: at wide receiver for the Ramso Cooper Cup easy a

1277
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:15,120
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh has allowed some big name receivers to pop off

1278
01:02:15,160 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 4: against them. Brandon Ayuk eight for one twenty nine and

1279
01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:22,480
Speaker 4: two touchdowns, DeVante Adams thirteen catches, one hundred and seventy

1280
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:26,479
Speaker 4: two yards two touchdowns against the Rams, Nico Collins seven

1281
01:02:26,560 --> 01:02:29,720
Speaker 4: catch I'm sorry against the Steelers. Nico Collins seven catches

1282
01:02:29,800 --> 01:02:32,840
Speaker 4: one sixty eight and two against the Steelers. Cooper Cup

1283
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:36,920
Speaker 4: can certainly reproduce those numbers, as could Pooka Nakua. He's

1284
01:02:36,960 --> 01:02:40,240
Speaker 4: become the robin to Cooper Cup, who is clearly batman.

1285
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:43,080
Speaker 4: Nowady is healthy, but again a great matchup. The Steelers

1286
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:46,520
Speaker 4: are top ten and the most catches and touchdowns allowed

1287
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:49,520
Speaker 4: to opposing wide receivers in a starting grade for tight

1288
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 4: end Tyler Higbee. The Steelers don't give up a lot

1289
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:56,040
Speaker 4: of production to tight ends on paper, but those numbers

1290
01:02:56,080 --> 01:02:58,560
Speaker 4: are suppressed by the zero catches the Raiders tight ends

1291
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:00,919
Speaker 4: head against him in Week three. Outside of that game,

1292
01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:04,920
Speaker 4: tight ends at faredwell against Pittsburgh, Mark Andrews, Dalton Schultz

1293
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:07,440
Speaker 4: and the Browns tight ends all combined for good games

1294
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 4: against Pittsburgh and so A. See on Higbee, B on Nakua,

1295
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 4: A on cup Easy, b on Matt.

1296
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:19,320
Speaker 1: Stafford when we come back justin air pair coming off

1297
01:03:19,360 --> 01:03:23,720
Speaker 1: a bad game. Whatever his prospects for a rebound in

1298
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:26,680
Speaker 1: Kansas City, find out when we come back to Fantasy

Speaker 3: Ooh, charg Can I give a shout out really quick?

1305
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:09,360
Speaker 1: Sure?

1306
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:12,560
Speaker 3: Hey? My soccer team that I'm the assistant coach on

1307
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:15,600
Speaker 3: we made the state tournament last night. We won in

1308
01:04:15,640 --> 01:04:18,280
Speaker 3: Super Section eight Double A. Congrats to the Saint Michael

1309
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:21,360
Speaker 3: Albertville Knights boys soccer team. Let's go win a few

1310
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:23,720
Speaker 3: games and take down State. Now that's awesome.

1311
01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:28,320
Speaker 1: Congratulations, that's super cool. Chargers take on the Kansas City Chiefs.

1312
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 1: Austin Eckler came back and immediately went right back to

1313
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:34,360
Speaker 1: being the workhorse role that we were hoping he would

1314
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 1: get and came up one yard short twice. Otherwise would

1315
01:04:38,600 --> 01:04:42,080
Speaker 1: have had really a pretty monstrous game last week. Tricky

1316
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 1: matchup here against Kansas City worse.

1317
01:04:44,840 --> 01:04:45,880
Speaker 3: Sorry, well I like it.

1318
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:49,320
Speaker 1: That's why this season we forget the horses even on here.

1319
01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, so many so many animal noises on here.

1320
01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:55,760
Speaker 1: Odd animal noises. So obviously for Austin Eckler, let's go

1321
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:57,560
Speaker 1: to the passing game here. I want to start with

1322
01:04:57,600 --> 01:05:00,600
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen. Now this temptation is just autumn adally plug

1323
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 1: him in as an A grade, but not this week

1324
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 1: into Wait, I got some individual matchups that worry me.

1325
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 1: Here on Allen, he runs from the slot on two

1326
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:12,160
Speaker 1: thirds of his routes. The Chiefs have slot cornerback Trent

1327
01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:15,600
Speaker 1: mcduffey was last year's first round pick. Right now ranking

1328
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 1: his Pro Football Focus is thirteenth best cornerback overall. He's

1329
01:05:19,640 --> 01:05:23,120
Speaker 1: allowing a mere three receptions per game under thirty yards

1330
01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:26,560
Speaker 1: per game, and when Allen goes outside, the Chiefs outside

1331
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:29,720
Speaker 1: cornerback Lajerius Snead is also only allowing three receptions and

1332
01:05:29,800 --> 01:05:32,000
Speaker 1: thirty yards. So there's nowhere to go for an easy

1333
01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:34,720
Speaker 1: matchups for Keenan Allen. So I'm just putting the B

1334
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:37,840
Speaker 1: grade on Keenan Allen this week. Josh Palmer comes in

1335
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 1: with a C grade. He's averaged six sketches seventy two

1336
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:44,440
Speaker 1: yards with two touchdowns in the games that Mike Williams

1337
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 1: has missed since last season. He led the teams in

1338
01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:49,440
Speaker 1: routes last week he had even more than Keenan Allen

1339
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:53,280
Speaker 1: and the second most targets, had the second most receptions

1340
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:56,120
Speaker 1: in yards. Tricky matchup again for him too. Gets all

1341
01:05:56,160 --> 01:06:00,000
Speaker 1: three cornerbacks, including the aforementioned Snead and mcduffy who I mentioned.

1342
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:04,040
Speaker 1: Chargers allowing the fifth fewest yards sorry, Chiefs allowing the

1343
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:06,800
Speaker 1: fifth fewest yards to wide outs and over the last month,

1344
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:10,560
Speaker 1: no opposing receiver has top sixty four yards against the

1345
01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 1: Chiefs and that includes Justin Jefferson, Garrett Wilson, DJ Moore,

1346
01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:19,400
Speaker 1: some good receivers, so Josh Palmer, just to see grade here.

1347
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:23,280
Speaker 1: Gerald Everett's on the bench. I'm not chasing. Last week's

1348
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:26,840
Speaker 1: touchdown tight ends are having some success against Kansas City.

1349
01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:29,560
Speaker 1: Three tight ends of top fifty yards, only one is scored.

1350
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:31,880
Speaker 1: And the worry is that even with Mike Williams out,

1351
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 1: everage is still mostly an afterthought in this offense. In

1352
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:38,520
Speaker 1: two games without Mike Williams, Everett averaging two catches for

1353
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:42,520
Speaker 1: thirteen yards. Bench grade for Gerald Everett.

1354
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 3: So where does that.

1355
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:49,600
Speaker 1: Leave Justin air Bear? Coming off the lousy game, he

1356
01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:52,480
Speaker 1: faces this good secondary that I've already talked about. I've

1357
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:56,240
Speaker 1: got BC's and bench grades on everybody else. Chiefs allowing

1358
01:06:56,320 --> 01:06:58,920
Speaker 1: less than two hundred passing yards and a very modest

1359
01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:02,880
Speaker 1: one point two asking touchdowns per game, now working in

1360
01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:08,000
Speaker 1: Herbert's favor, a terrific history against Kansas City. Last year's

1361
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 1: two games against the Chiefs combined for six hundred and

1362
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:14,960
Speaker 1: fourteen yards and five touchdowns.

1363
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:15,760
Speaker 3: That's pretty good.

1364
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:18,560
Speaker 1: It's pretty good. Maybe a bounce back game coming for

1365
01:07:18,880 --> 01:07:22,840
Speaker 1: Justin air Bear. B grade for Justin Airbear, which I

1366
01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:25,440
Speaker 1: almost went C grade, but just too much upside to

1367
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:27,840
Speaker 1: be had here. All, let's go to the Kansas City side.

1368
01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:29,760
Speaker 1: I get the easy assignment every week of telling you

1369
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 1: the Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelcey, your obvious a's. Mahomes

1370
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:38,960
Speaker 1: has obliterated the Chargers, averaging three touchdowns per game in

1371
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 1: his career against the division rival. Only two other Chiefs

1372
01:07:43,800 --> 01:07:46,760
Speaker 1: that I want to talk about. Rashid Rice coming off

1373
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:50,360
Speaker 1: his biggest game career highs and routes run and receiving yards.

1374
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:54,560
Speaker 1: The rookie could be emerging out of the quagmire of

1375
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:56,720
Speaker 1: Chiefs wide receivers.

1376
01:07:56,760 --> 01:07:58,520
Speaker 3: That got even murkier this week.

1377
01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:01,520
Speaker 1: It did the me cole Hartman thing to me, says

1378
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:09,080
Speaker 1: plenty about sky more, I mean sky less, more is less.

1379
01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:11,400
Speaker 1: That is absolutely sky more is less.

1380
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:14,959
Speaker 4: There's no reason not to just play Rice like I'm

1381
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:17,080
Speaker 4: ninety percent of the snaps at this point for them.

1382
01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:19,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're the Chiefs, why not just yeah, let

1383
01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:21,760
Speaker 1: that kid run and see what happens. He runs two

1384
01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:23,439
Speaker 1: thirds of his routes from the slot where he's going

1385
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:25,919
Speaker 1: to face cornerback Josh, Sir.

1386
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:28,599
Speaker 3: Taylor, you're making that name up.

1387
01:08:28,720 --> 01:08:30,840
Speaker 1: I pause just for you, Yeah, he ranks his Pro

1388
01:08:30,880 --> 01:08:35,080
Speaker 1: Football Focus is coverage corner one hundred and sixty six.

1389
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 3: You're making that number up it and yeah, if you're.

1390
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:39,800
Speaker 1: Thinking what I'm thinking, like, is there one hundred and

1391
01:08:39,880 --> 01:08:42,960
Speaker 1: sixty six cornerbacks in the NFL? Apparently, yes there are.

1392
01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:46,640
Speaker 1: I think he was like fourth from the bottom. So

1393
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:48,559
Speaker 1: are Shea Rice comes in with the Sea Grade. We'll

1394
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:51,599
Speaker 1: give him the opportunity here. And then lastly, Isaiah Pacheco.

1395
01:08:52,040 --> 01:08:54,920
Speaker 1: He's looked terrific, running hard in every game. Kansas City

1396
01:08:55,040 --> 01:08:57,400
Speaker 1: a middle of the pack run blocking offensive line, but

1397
01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:00,519
Speaker 1: fortunately the Chargers aren't great in run defense. It's ranking

1398
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:05,240
Speaker 1: twenty sixth in run stuff win rate, twenty fourth in

1399
01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:08,720
Speaker 1: run defense by Pro Football Focus. Los Angeles allows the

1400
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:11,760
Speaker 1: second most receiving yards and the third most receptions to

1401
01:09:11,760 --> 01:09:15,439
Speaker 1: opposing backs, and Pacheco quietly averaging over three targets per game,

1402
01:09:15,439 --> 01:09:19,559
Speaker 1: and he's seen more targets than Jeric McKinnon has this year.

1403
01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:25,080
Speaker 1: B Grade, Isaiah Pacheco, let's go back to the matchups,

1404
01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:28,160
Speaker 1: Green Bay taking on the Denver Broncos. Matt We've already

1405
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:30,280
Speaker 1: talked about a number of different players we like in

1406
01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:32,559
Speaker 1: this one. I gave Jordan Loves. May take a chance

1407
01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:36,200
Speaker 1: on me quarterback. You gave aj Dillons, You take a

1408
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:38,800
Speaker 1: chance on me running back? Who else do you like

1409
01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:39,599
Speaker 1: from the Packers?

1410
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:44,040
Speaker 3: If Aaron Jones actually does play coming off the bye

1411
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:47,280
Speaker 3: week in the hamstring injury, I don't think the Packers

1412
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:49,880
Speaker 3: would need to play him a lot, but I'd give

1413
01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:52,240
Speaker 3: him a C because the matchup is just so good.

1414
01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:54,719
Speaker 3: He could be a change of pace guy gets six

1415
01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:58,040
Speaker 3: touches and it might be fantasy relevant this week. I'm

1416
01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:01,160
Speaker 3: not sure quite what to think of the combo of

1417
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:04,559
Speaker 3: Romeo Dobbs, Jayden Reid and Christian Watson. Since Watson returned

1418
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:07,599
Speaker 3: from injury in week four, the waters have been muddy

1419
01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 3: at best. Reid's routes dropped from thirty six in week

1420
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:14,840
Speaker 3: three to only twenty in week two. You're in week five,

1421
01:10:15,240 --> 01:10:18,160
Speaker 3: and then targets went from seven to two. Dobbs saw

1422
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:21,599
Speaker 3: a similar downturn from forty three routes run and eleven

1423
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:24,200
Speaker 3: targets in week three to thirty three routes run and

1424
01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:27,719
Speaker 3: three targets in week five, while Watson's numbers are climbing

1425
01:10:28,960 --> 01:10:31,000
Speaker 3: from his first week back to the second. I'm going

1426
01:10:31,080 --> 01:10:33,719
Speaker 3: to give all three starting grades, though, with Watson getting

1427
01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:37,040
Speaker 3: a B and Dubs and Reid getting a C, simply

1428
01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:40,719
Speaker 3: because Damari Mathis and Jakwan McMillan have been so bad

1429
01:10:40,760 --> 01:10:43,960
Speaker 3: in Denver secondary Mathis has allowed four scores and a

1430
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:47,600
Speaker 3: one forty three passer rating, McMillan two touchdowns and a

1431
01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:50,800
Speaker 3: one thirty eight passer rating, and Mathis is the worst one.

1432
01:10:50,840 --> 01:10:52,799
Speaker 3: He plays the right side of the field most often.

1433
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:56,120
Speaker 3: That's where Christian Watson runs from the most, so that's

1434
01:10:56,160 --> 01:11:01,040
Speaker 3: why Watson gets the B. Loose Mutton or Luke Musgraves

1435
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:04,200
Speaker 3: as the squares call him. He gets a C grade

1436
01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:04,639
Speaker 3: as well.

1437
01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:07,080
Speaker 1: I don't have a cheap we still have a sep sound.

1438
01:11:07,240 --> 01:11:07,519
Speaker 6: Man.

1439
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:09,840
Speaker 1: If we're gonna run with this, I need cheap sound

1440
01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:10,400
Speaker 1: on this sport.

1441
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:13,120
Speaker 3: He hasn't done a ton this year, but this is

1442
01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:17,240
Speaker 3: a purely great matchup for him. The Broncos are the

1443
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:22,040
Speaker 3: league's worst tight end defenses, allowing six catches in seventy

1444
01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:24,479
Speaker 3: six yards per game to the position and half a

1445
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:28,320
Speaker 3: score per game. Considering amongst all the tight end targets

1446
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 3: in Green Bay, they're all going toward Loose Mutton, So

1447
01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:35,160
Speaker 3: I definitely take those numbers. Russell Wilson has to be

1448
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:38,000
Speaker 3: on the hot seat in Denver considering the losses he's taken,

1449
01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:41,280
Speaker 3: but outside of last week's disaster against Kansas City, his

1450
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:44,120
Speaker 3: fantasy numbers have actually been pretty good. He's a top

1451
01:11:44,160 --> 01:11:48,519
Speaker 3: twelve quarterback in most scoring systems, multiple scores in four

1452
01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:51,760
Speaker 3: of six, three hundred passing yards twice, thirty or more

1453
01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:54,320
Speaker 3: rushing yards in half of his games. The problem is

1454
01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:56,960
Speaker 3: they're not winning, and the franchise is in total upheaval

1455
01:11:57,040 --> 01:12:00,000
Speaker 3: right now, and they're facing a pretty good Packers pass defense.

1456
01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:03,280
Speaker 3: Green Bay has allowed the second fewest completions and yards

1457
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:06,040
Speaker 3: to opposing quarterbacks, with an average stat line of two

1458
01:12:06,080 --> 01:12:09,200
Speaker 3: hundred and fifteen yards and just one passing score per game.

1459
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:11,720
Speaker 3: Plus he could get the hook at any moment. For

1460
01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:14,360
Speaker 3: Jared Stidham, I think that there's a real possibility there.

1461
01:12:14,479 --> 01:12:14,559
Speaker 6: Ye.

1462
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:17,000
Speaker 3: I'll still give him a C grade, but it's much

1463
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:20,240
Speaker 3: closer to a bench grade. Courtland Sutton and Jerry Judy

1464
01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:22,519
Speaker 3: are both on the bench for me. The Packers have

1465
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:26,400
Speaker 3: allowed one opposing wide receiver to top seventy five yards this season.

1466
01:12:26,600 --> 01:12:29,439
Speaker 3: They're along the third fewest receptions and the second fewest

1467
01:12:29,479 --> 01:12:32,880
Speaker 3: yards to wide receivers overall. If you have to pick one,

1468
01:12:32,920 --> 01:12:35,519
Speaker 3: Sutton has three wide receiver scorers on the year. I'd

1469
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:37,920
Speaker 3: lean his direction over Judy, but both are on the bench,

1470
01:12:38,600 --> 01:12:42,639
Speaker 3: and the Denver running back situation it's very tricky. First off,

1471
01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:45,200
Speaker 3: it's a good matchup. Green Bay is bottom twelve in

1472
01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:49,800
Speaker 3: rushing yards, rushing touchdowns, receptions, receiving yards, and combo touchdowns

1473
01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:52,599
Speaker 3: allowed to opposing running backs, So if they had one

1474
01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:55,240
Speaker 3: guy getting most of the work, he'd be very startable

1475
01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:58,000
Speaker 3: in this game. But problem is that's not the case.

1476
01:12:58,560 --> 01:13:02,000
Speaker 3: Jalil McLoughlin had the most snaps last week with twenty

1477
01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:06,040
Speaker 3: and got nine touches. Javonte Williams had seventeen snaps and

1478
01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:09,200
Speaker 3: ten touches, and then samaj p Erin got two touches

1479
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:12,479
Speaker 3: on eight snaps. So McLoughlin is the guy I'd start

1480
01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:14,839
Speaker 3: out of these three for a couple of reasons.

1481
01:13:14,920 --> 01:13:17,920
Speaker 1: First, Oh, he's averaging like six and a half yards

1482
01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:18,479
Speaker 1: per carry.

1483
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:21,680
Speaker 3: That's pretty good. Yeah, but he's also getting quality work

1484
01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:24,400
Speaker 3: in the passing game, including two receiving touchdowns in the

1485
01:13:24,520 --> 01:13:28,320
Speaker 3: last three weeks. Second, he's had more inside the five

1486
01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:31,160
Speaker 3: carries than the other two backs. Granted that surprises me.

1487
01:13:31,240 --> 01:13:35,920
Speaker 3: It's only two to one, okay, but it's more a third.

1488
01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:38,960
Speaker 3: Even with Williams returning for Week six, McLoughlin was on

1489
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:41,719
Speaker 3: the field more. So I'll give McLoughlin a C grade.

1490
01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:45,599
Speaker 3: It could be like, could be closer to be output

1491
01:13:45,640 --> 01:13:47,840
Speaker 3: if they just leave him on the field more. But

1492
01:13:47,920 --> 01:13:49,280
Speaker 3: the other two I think are on the bench.

1493
01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:54,320
Speaker 1: For me, I thought Javonte Williams looked downright plotting in

1494
01:13:54,400 --> 01:13:57,360
Speaker 1: every game until last week, and then it looked like

1495
01:13:57,439 --> 01:14:00,240
Speaker 1: he just it finally looked like we got some the

1496
01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:02,040
Speaker 1: old Javante Williams back.

1497
01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:03,639
Speaker 3: Maybe he's finally getting healthy.

1498
01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:05,880
Speaker 1: I hope so. But that doesn't take anything away from

1499
01:14:06,320 --> 01:14:09,479
Speaker 1: Julian McLoughlin, who's got a spark to him that none

1500
01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:10,479
Speaker 1: of the other runners have.

1501
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:12,960
Speaker 3: He's been the one bright spot on that team this year.

1502
01:14:13,080 --> 01:14:17,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure, for sure. When we come back, we've

1503
01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:20,759
Speaker 1: got more matchups and a trip in the Fantasy Football

1504
01:14:20,800 --> 01:14:24,080
Speaker 1: Weekly Time Machine. We're gonna give you some players to

1505
01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:26,720
Speaker 1: pick up this week that everybody else is going to

1506
01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:29,200
Speaker 1: try to pick up next week. But already on your.

1507
01:14:29,160 --> 01:14:32,040
Speaker 5: Roster, I used Julia McLaughlin.

1508
01:14:32,680 --> 01:14:36,200
Speaker 1: You're four weeks ago. Yeah, what do you are you

1509
01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:37,160
Speaker 1: trying to say this?

1510
01:14:40,240 --> 01:14:41,400
Speaker 3: Now he likes the peacock.

1511
01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:46,000
Speaker 1: Suddenly you're not eating our peacock.

1512
01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:49,720
Speaker 3: I'm glad you you slowed down on saying that.

1513
01:14:51,560 --> 01:15:16,759
Speaker 1: We come back. Premature speculation, final segment Fantasy Football Weekly,

1514
01:15:17,040 --> 01:15:19,720
Speaker 1: not like forever, just for this week. We'll be back

1515
01:15:19,760 --> 01:15:23,360
Speaker 1: next week, week number eight. Get you ready. This is

1516
01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:26,040
Speaker 1: a segment we like to call premature speculation. We give

1517
01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:27,400
Speaker 1: you a player that you'll want to pick up now

1518
01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:29,599
Speaker 1: that I'll just be trying to pick up after they've

1519
01:15:29,600 --> 01:15:32,599
Speaker 1: already seen what happens this week. These guys will hopefully

1520
01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:34,799
Speaker 1: already be on your roster. We begin with Matt Harrison.

1521
01:15:35,479 --> 01:15:38,120
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray returned to practice this week for the Cardinals,

1522
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:40,840
Speaker 3: which means his twenty one day window to return to

1523
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 3: the active roster has opened. By the way, he's only

1524
01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:46,920
Speaker 3: rostered in about forty seven percent of sleeper leagues right now.

1525
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:49,240
Speaker 3: They're going to give him every start as soon as

1526
01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:50,960
Speaker 3: he's able to get back on the field from a

1527
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:52,559
Speaker 3: torn acl last December.

1528
01:15:53,120 --> 01:15:55,439
Speaker 1: Do you think they showcase Kyler Murray so they can

1529
01:15:55,479 --> 01:15:58,840
Speaker 1: try to trade him. I think absolutely, And they hope

1530
01:15:58,840 --> 01:16:03,439
Speaker 1: he plays well enough that he Garners trade interests. They

1531
01:16:03,439 --> 01:16:07,519
Speaker 1: can unload that awful contract without him actually winning games

1532
01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:08,840
Speaker 1: because they want to be at the top of the

1533
01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:11,720
Speaker 1: draft so they can replace Kyler Murray with somebody this

1534
01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:12,599
Speaker 1: year's draft.

1535
01:16:12,520 --> 01:16:14,680
Speaker 5: And you don't have to open the window all the

1536
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 5: way for him to fit through, which.

1537
01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:20,120
Speaker 3: Is he's tiny. Yeah, well, Church, you stole all my

1538
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:23,400
Speaker 3: thunder there. But he does have a Week sixteen matchup

1539
01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:26,840
Speaker 3: with the Bears, by the way, which he could be

1540
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:29,639
Speaker 3: playing for his job in your fantasy playoffs. And oh,

1541
01:16:29,640 --> 01:16:32,439
Speaker 3: by the way, that's against Justin Fields, who could also

1542
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:34,920
Speaker 3: be playing for his job. That's going to be a

1543
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:39,000
Speaker 3: super intriguing game in Week sixteen between these two quarterbacks

1544
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:42,960
Speaker 3: who have a rookie looking over their shoulder in the draft.

1545
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:46,160
Speaker 1: All right, Brian, you'll take a chance with me player.

1546
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:48,760
Speaker 4: Not a lot of thunder to steal here. I'm going

1547
01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:52,439
Speaker 4: I'm going very deep here with Miami wide receiver Cedric Wilson.

1548
01:16:52,479 --> 01:16:56,400
Speaker 4: And this is more like the rare wide receiver handcuff

1549
01:16:56,439 --> 01:17:00,559
Speaker 4: play if you roster either Tyreek hill End or jayl Waddle.

1550
01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:02,439
Speaker 4: But really, if something were to happen to those guys,

1551
01:17:02,479 --> 01:17:06,040
Speaker 4: Cedric Wilson would step in. Granted he's not Tyreek Hill

1552
01:17:06,120 --> 01:17:08,719
Speaker 4: or Jalen Waddle, but he'll be a starting wide receiver

1553
01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:12,559
Speaker 4: in one of the most high flying offensive offenses in

1554
01:17:12,600 --> 01:17:15,679
Speaker 4: the NFL. Just five catches so far for Cedric Wilson,

1555
01:17:15,680 --> 01:17:18,519
Speaker 4: but averaging thirteen point six yards per catch, and again,

1556
01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:20,640
Speaker 4: if you were to get starter snaps, he would be

1557
01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:23,439
Speaker 4: fantasy viable. So if you got a roster spot to

1558
01:17:23,439 --> 01:17:25,080
Speaker 4: burn Cedric Wilson, why not?

1559
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:27,080
Speaker 1: All right? I had originally said I was going to

1560
01:17:27,160 --> 01:17:29,840
Speaker 1: do Latavius Murray here, but that feels too obvious. Now

1561
01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:33,080
Speaker 1: set that up middle earlier in the week. So I'm

1562
01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:36,040
Speaker 1: gonna pivot Latavius Murray. Assuming he's gone, let's go back

1563
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:38,160
Speaker 1: to Roshawn Johnson, who I think a lot of fantasy

1564
01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:40,120
Speaker 1: nors have gotten tired of at this point and aren't

1565
01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:42,519
Speaker 1: going to wait him out. Khalil Herbert went on IR

1566
01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:46,280
Speaker 1: he's going to miss another four games. Roshawan Johnson comes

1567
01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:49,519
Speaker 1: back off injured reserve. Not in Drear Surrey. It comes

1568
01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:51,479
Speaker 1: out of the concussion protocol. He could walk into the

1569
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:54,320
Speaker 1: starting job because thatther foreman's.

1570
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:54,679
Speaker 5: Not that good.

1571
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:59,479
Speaker 1: Travis Homer is a lifelong backup in Darrington Evans has

1572
01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:03,519
Speaker 1: never been a meaningful contributor, so opportunities. There is a

1573
01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:08,360
Speaker 1: big big thor Nystrom guy Roachan Johnson. You get a

1574
01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:10,840
Speaker 1: big power back who could get the ball to goal

1575
01:18:10,880 --> 01:18:15,360
Speaker 1: line in Roshan Johnson. Let's go to our final two matchups.

1576
01:18:16,040 --> 01:18:19,360
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins have the toughest matchup of their year. It's

1577
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:21,880
Speaker 1: been up I think the toughest matchup of the year

1578
01:18:22,120 --> 01:18:25,120
Speaker 1: the Philadelphia Eagles. Brian, what do you think of the

1579
01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:28,720
Speaker 1: high flying Miami offense in a trickier spot in Philadelphia.

1580
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:32,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, we got a fun game on TAPS Sunday night,

1581
01:18:32,040 --> 01:18:34,120
Speaker 4: but like you said, the toughest matchup of the season

1582
01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:36,000
Speaker 4: so far for the Dolphins. But a lot of starting

1583
01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:39,080
Speaker 4: grades nonetheless, starting with Raheem Moster, It's gonna give him

1584
01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:41,479
Speaker 4: a bee. Despite the fact the Eagles have the second

1585
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:44,880
Speaker 4: best run defense grade per Pro Football Focus, and they're

1586
01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:47,320
Speaker 4: allowing a meager forty nine rushing yards per game to

1587
01:18:47,400 --> 01:18:50,360
Speaker 4: running backs on just three point one yards per carry,

1588
01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:53,360
Speaker 4: that's the third lowest. Philly has also just surrendered two

1589
01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 4: total scores for running backs, so this will surely be

1590
01:18:56,040 --> 01:18:59,360
Speaker 4: a tough test for Mostert. Jeff Wilson has been practicing

1591
01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:03,479
Speaker 4: in fullest, he will likely steal some touches. Wilson is

1592
01:19:03,479 --> 01:19:05,640
Speaker 4: on the bench, but I'm still gonna roll with mostert

1593
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:08,400
Speaker 4: with the b This is the toughest matchup for the

1594
01:19:08,439 --> 01:19:10,960
Speaker 4: Dolphins when it comes to the Eagles in defense, but

1595
01:19:11,479 --> 01:19:13,600
Speaker 4: arguably be the toughest matchup for the Eagles on the

1596
01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:17,240
Speaker 4: other side against the offense are facing specifically Tyreek Hill,

1597
01:19:17,280 --> 01:19:19,719
Speaker 4: who is out of this world right now on pace

1598
01:19:19,720 --> 01:19:22,759
Speaker 4: for one hundred and twenty catches, twenty three hundred plus

1599
01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:26,479
Speaker 4: yards and seventeen touchdowns. Hill is one hundred and eighty

1600
01:19:26,479 --> 01:19:29,240
Speaker 4: six yards shy of a thousand, and he could hit

1601
01:19:29,240 --> 01:19:32,679
Speaker 4: that mark by week seven. It's He's insane, Yes, absolutely insane.

1602
01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:35,800
Speaker 4: He is a matchup proof. He gets the A.

1603
01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:38,080
Speaker 5: Jalen Wattle not matchup hitch.

1604
01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:40,160
Speaker 1: A because you're on your last matchup and we haven't

1605
01:19:40,200 --> 01:19:42,960
Speaker 1: heard from Fantasy FONSI.

1606
01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:44,559
Speaker 4: Yet, not yet, but I'm gonna I might save that

1607
01:19:44,600 --> 01:19:47,960
Speaker 4: for the other side. Wattle, Jalen Wattle does not get

1608
01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:50,080
Speaker 4: the FANSI just to see for him. That's because the

1609
01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:53,040
Speaker 4: Eagles play a lot of man coverage, which isn't great

1610
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:56,200
Speaker 4: for Waddle, who only has a thirteen percent target share

1611
01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:57,519
Speaker 4: when facing man coverage, so.

1612
01:19:57,640 --> 01:19:58,559
Speaker 5: Just the sea for Wattle.

1613
01:19:58,920 --> 01:20:01,639
Speaker 4: It does bode well for both Waddle and Tyreek Kill

1614
01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:05,320
Speaker 4: though that starting cornerback Bradley Roby and starting safety Read

1615
01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:08,080
Speaker 4: Blank and Ship have been ruled out for the Dolph

1616
01:20:08,240 --> 01:20:11,479
Speaker 4: I'm sorry for the Eagles, and last and sadly, we're

1617
01:20:11,479 --> 01:20:14,080
Speaker 4: not going to talk about Durnham smythe my boy Smith Tyston.

1618
01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:17,160
Speaker 4: He's on the bench, but Tua Tungo Viola is not.

1619
01:20:17,280 --> 01:20:20,800
Speaker 4: He gets an A. Tua's currently ranked first and passing touchdowns,

1620
01:20:20,840 --> 01:20:24,840
Speaker 4: passing yards yards per pass attempt, and quarterback raiding. The

1621
01:20:24,920 --> 01:20:27,280
Speaker 4: Eagles did just blank Zach Wilson, but that is not

1622
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:30,759
Speaker 4: a big deal. Before that, they had surrendered multiple touchdown

1623
01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:34,160
Speaker 4: passes in three of their first five games. Philly also

1624
01:20:34,240 --> 01:20:37,960
Speaker 4: yielding the fourth most pass attempts per game at thirty nine,

1625
01:20:37,960 --> 01:20:40,280
Speaker 4: So I'm going to stick with an A grade for Tua.

1626
01:20:40,360 --> 01:20:41,800
Speaker 5: He's on an MVP.

1627
01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:45,040
Speaker 4: Pace right now over to the Eagle side, starting with

1628
01:20:45,080 --> 01:20:48,920
Speaker 4: DeAndre Swift, he gets a B. Philly is ESPN's top

1629
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:53,559
Speaker 4: offensive line per their run block win rate metric, and

1630
01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:56,920
Speaker 4: they are also Pro Football Focus's top run blocking unit,

1631
01:20:57,120 --> 01:20:59,960
Speaker 4: and Miami is twenty seventh in run stuff win race.

1632
01:21:00,200 --> 01:21:02,000
Speaker 5: So Lake Swift here with the B.

1633
01:21:02,400 --> 01:21:05,880
Speaker 4: The Dolphins have also yielded the second fewest running back

1634
01:21:05,920 --> 01:21:08,519
Speaker 4: targets this season. Not great, but they have allowed the

1635
01:21:08,560 --> 01:21:11,960
Speaker 4: second highest yards per reception to the position, so that

1636
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:14,559
Speaker 4: those numbers are a little skewed. Like Swift a lot

1637
01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:16,680
Speaker 4: in the bellcow role. He gets a B and you

1638
01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:22,040
Speaker 4: gotta love AJ Brown. He gets this week's fantasy fonsie.

1639
01:21:23,479 --> 01:21:24,400
Speaker 3: That's so exciting.

1640
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:28,200
Speaker 4: Brown's last four games nine for one thirty one, nine

1641
01:21:28,240 --> 01:21:30,240
Speaker 4: for one seventy five and two six for one to

1642
01:21:30,280 --> 01:21:32,879
Speaker 4: twenty seven seven for one hundred and thirty one yards.

1643
01:21:33,200 --> 01:21:36,840
Speaker 4: He is searing hot right now. Miami's quarterbacks xaviing Howard

1644
01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:40,240
Speaker 4: and Ela Apple major liabilities for their secondary. They rank

1645
01:21:40,240 --> 01:21:44,200
Speaker 4: as Pro Football focuses cornerbacks one for nine and one

1646
01:21:44,320 --> 01:21:48,200
Speaker 4: fifty five, respectively. That is not good. The Dolphins have

1647
01:21:48,240 --> 01:21:51,280
Speaker 4: allowed the fourth most catches and touchdowns to opposing wide receivers.

1648
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:54,240
Speaker 4: So easy a the fonsie for AJ Brown, But just

1649
01:21:54,280 --> 01:21:56,599
Speaker 4: to see for Devonte Smith, who has taken a clear

1650
01:21:56,600 --> 01:21:59,719
Speaker 4: back seat to Brown this season. His first read target

1651
01:21:59,760 --> 01:22:04,120
Speaker 4: share has dropped from twenty eight percent in twenty twenty

1652
01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:07,720
Speaker 4: two for Davante Smith to nineteen percent in twenty twenty three.

1653
01:22:07,760 --> 01:22:10,639
Speaker 4: This year, AJ Browns has gone up. AJ's a alpha

1654
01:22:10,960 --> 01:22:13,679
Speaker 4: Smith is just he's the second option now at wide receiver.

1655
01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:16,840
Speaker 4: He gets the C but B for Dallas Goddard in

1656
01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:20,599
Speaker 4: a spike game, because in twenty eighteen, the Miami Dolphins

1657
01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:25,280
Speaker 4: selected Mikeasicki seven picks before Dallas Goddard in that draft,

1658
01:22:25,400 --> 01:22:27,200
Speaker 4: and the Dolphins also allowing more than five and a

1659
01:22:27,200 --> 01:22:29,840
Speaker 4: half catches and fifty yards per game. Two tight ends

1660
01:22:29,960 --> 01:22:32,400
Speaker 4: safe bey on Goddard and an A for Jalen Hurts.

1661
01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:34,840
Speaker 4: I mean, you're you're not sitting Jalen Hurts ever, so for.

1662
01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:38,200
Speaker 1: Him, yeah, it'll coming off a bad game.

1663
01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:40,400
Speaker 3: Do you think spike games work a lot better for

1664
01:22:40,439 --> 01:22:43,960
Speaker 3: wide receivers? White wide receivers seem to really really dig

1665
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:46,759
Speaker 3: the spike games and Harry tight ends are like whatever.

1666
01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:49,800
Speaker 4: And speaking of spike games, really quick, the Dolphins did

1667
01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:52,759
Speaker 4: take two over Jalen Hurts in the twenty twenty draft.

1668
01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:54,880
Speaker 5: I'm just saying, well, they were like neck and.

1669
01:22:54,880 --> 01:22:57,760
Speaker 1: Neck, but it's separated by round or two.

1670
01:22:57,920 --> 01:23:00,400
Speaker 5: Hurts We'll remember, Yeah, Hurts was the second round, all right, the.

1671
01:23:00,360 --> 01:23:02,800
Speaker 1: Monday nighter is really muddy here. We have unknowns going

1672
01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:06,120
Speaker 1: into it with Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel, you both

1673
01:23:06,160 --> 01:23:09,320
Speaker 1: feel like coin flips. I think Deebo doesn't go, is

1674
01:23:09,400 --> 01:23:13,120
Speaker 1: my guess. But obviously, if Christian mccafrey goes, you're gonna

1675
01:23:13,120 --> 01:23:15,400
Speaker 1: play him. And so if that goes, without saying, I'm

1676
01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:17,280
Speaker 1: not going to spend a lot of time elaborating on that,

1677
01:23:17,360 --> 01:23:20,200
Speaker 1: but let's talk about what happens if he doesn't go,

1678
01:23:20,240 --> 01:23:23,400
Speaker 1: because then Jordan Mason becomes a viable player, and I'd

1679
01:23:23,400 --> 01:23:26,040
Speaker 1: put him in as a B grade. If he does

1680
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:29,879
Speaker 1: not go, he's the expected starter even if Elijah Mitchell's available.

1681
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:32,080
Speaker 1: Mitchell's got a knee injury, and we've seen Mason get

1682
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:36,280
Speaker 1: more work in recent games. San Francisco has Pro Football Focus'

1683
01:23:36,439 --> 01:23:40,000
Speaker 1: third highest run block grade and Minnesota ranks fifth and

1684
01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:43,240
Speaker 1: ESPN's run stuff win rates, so Viken's actually been quite

1685
01:23:43,280 --> 01:23:47,799
Speaker 1: good against the run. The fifteen non DeAndre Swift runners

1686
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:52,000
Speaker 1: who have faced Minnesota have averaged just three yards per carry.

1687
01:23:52,400 --> 01:23:54,360
Speaker 1: So I can get you to a B grade on

1688
01:23:54,439 --> 01:23:57,719
Speaker 1: Jordan Mason. If Christian McCaffrey goes and he's probably out entirely.

1689
01:23:57,840 --> 01:24:01,200
Speaker 1: If Christian McCaffrey does go'd be great. If he doesn't go,

1690
01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:03,680
Speaker 1: all right, so then let's go into the passing game.

1691
01:24:03,760 --> 01:24:06,040
Speaker 1: So let's start with the Deebo Samuel Juwan Jennings thing.

1692
01:24:06,439 --> 01:24:10,280
Speaker 1: I would only start Debo if he's basically completely off

1693
01:24:10,280 --> 01:24:12,880
Speaker 1: the injury port you hear that he's absolutely in great

1694
01:24:12,920 --> 01:24:15,519
Speaker 1: shape for this. And then if he does not go,

1695
01:24:16,040 --> 01:24:18,000
Speaker 1: the pivot guy that you want, and I think a

1696
01:24:18,040 --> 01:24:24,320
Speaker 1: really sneaky bye week starter Juwan Jennings. J Jennings is

1697
01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:26,479
Speaker 1: fascinating to me. He gets a ton of run when

1698
01:24:26,479 --> 01:24:30,600
Speaker 1: Deebo misses. He's a big body guy who can stylistically

1699
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:32,880
Speaker 1: match a lot of what Deebo does. And all the

1700
01:24:32,960 --> 01:24:37,240
Speaker 1: Vikings cornerbacks are really struggling, especially coveted offseason free agent

1701
01:24:37,280 --> 01:24:41,360
Speaker 1: acquisition Byron Murphy, who's already allowed three touchdowns in his coverage,

1702
01:24:41,479 --> 01:24:46,320
Speaker 1: tied for fifth most Minnesota cornerbacks own Pro Football Focus

1703
01:24:46,439 --> 01:24:49,920
Speaker 1: covered ranks of thirty, ninth, eighty third, and ninety ninth.

1704
01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:53,519
Speaker 1: Juwan Jennings C grade and a possible pickup. And if

1705
01:24:53,560 --> 01:24:55,880
Speaker 1: you've got Deebo Samuel and you don't know what's gonna

1706
01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:58,840
Speaker 1: happen till Monday night. Go roster Juwan Jennings, so you

1707
01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:01,240
Speaker 1: can make that switch if you need to, and Brevard

1708
01:25:01,280 --> 01:25:03,519
Speaker 1: put Samuel in your flex so you'd have even more

1709
01:25:03,560 --> 01:25:07,840
Speaker 1: opportunities to make changes later. Sticking with the receivers, Brandon

1710
01:25:07,880 --> 01:25:12,120
Speaker 1: Ayuk A grade, Minnesota allows the second most receptions per

1711
01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:15,920
Speaker 1: game to wide receivers and Minnesota leans zone heavy. Ayuk

1712
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:19,800
Speaker 1: leads San Francisco receivers in receiving yards against zone coverage

1713
01:25:19,880 --> 01:25:23,240
Speaker 1: and as I mentioned, primo matchups against all the Vikings cornerbacks.

1714
01:25:23,439 --> 01:25:28,040
Speaker 1: He's been playing great this year. Brandon Ayuk A grade.

1715
01:25:28,600 --> 01:25:31,000
Speaker 1: George Kittle comes into the C grade. He's had two

1716
01:25:31,120 --> 01:25:36,519
Speaker 1: huge games this year and four absolute duds with three

1717
01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:40,240
Speaker 1: or fewer catches and less than thirty receiving yards.

1718
01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:40,720
Speaker 5: Now.

1719
01:25:40,720 --> 01:25:43,040
Speaker 1: In theory he would get more looks if Deebo misses,

1720
01:25:43,400 --> 01:25:45,679
Speaker 1: but that did not manifest itself last week and Deebo

1721
01:25:45,760 --> 01:25:48,759
Speaker 1: only played eight snaps last week. Minnesota and above average

1722
01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:51,759
Speaker 1: tight end defense so far, allowing the fifth fewest yards

1723
01:25:51,760 --> 01:25:55,760
Speaker 1: to tight ends despite facing Travis Kelce Dallas Goddard, so

1724
01:25:55,760 --> 01:25:59,160
Speaker 1: they're right defense C grade on George Kittle. We need him,

1725
01:25:59,200 --> 01:26:02,080
Speaker 1: we need a boom game. Those down games have really

1726
01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:04,800
Speaker 1: hurt his owners, and Brock Purty comes into the B

1727
01:26:04,880 --> 01:26:07,599
Speaker 1: grade i've given out as i've given out c's and c's,

1728
01:26:08,040 --> 01:26:10,559
Speaker 1: I think pretty fits in grade fits right in the

1729
01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:15,479
Speaker 1: middle here, But let's upgrade party. If CMC and deebo play,

1730
01:26:15,479 --> 01:26:17,679
Speaker 1: I'd bump them up to an A grade. In this game,

1731
01:26:17,960 --> 01:26:21,920
Speaker 1: good passers generally emerging with solid box scores against the Vikings,

1732
01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:25,080
Speaker 1: and only bottom tier passers getting stymied. Brock's a good passer.

1733
01:26:25,080 --> 01:26:27,120
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be okay here. Let's go to

1734
01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:30,000
Speaker 1: the Viking side. We'll start with the running game. Alexander

1735
01:26:30,040 --> 01:26:34,080
Speaker 1: Madison clocks in with a C grade, a really dispiriting

1736
01:26:34,120 --> 01:26:37,760
Speaker 1: performance last week against a pretty bad Bears defense, and

1737
01:26:37,800 --> 01:26:41,400
Speaker 1: now he faces obviously a vastly superior Niners run defense.

1738
01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:44,280
Speaker 1: San Francisco's only allowed one running back to top fifty

1739
01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:47,200
Speaker 1: two rushing yards all season, only one is top seventy

1740
01:26:47,240 --> 01:26:51,800
Speaker 1: in their last twenty nine regular season games, which is amazing. Wow,

1741
01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:54,960
Speaker 1: Niers are a top ten run stuff win rate. It's

1742
01:26:55,040 --> 01:26:58,280
Speaker 1: tough now the Vikings have a top five run blocking unit,

1743
01:26:58,320 --> 01:27:02,080
Speaker 1: but still this is a tricky spot and Alexander Madison's

1744
01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:05,320
Speaker 1: dropped five passes this year to lead the NFL and

1745
01:27:05,439 --> 01:27:09,040
Speaker 1: drops which is also very disappointing.

1746
01:27:08,439 --> 01:27:11,840
Speaker 4: A couple for touchdowns. Two they would have gone for touchdowns, and.

1747
01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:13,840
Speaker 1: So it's also I can't so I can't talk to

1748
01:27:13,840 --> 01:27:16,880
Speaker 1: you about Alexander Madison maybe winning that way. So just

1749
01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:20,000
Speaker 1: a C grade there. Jordan Addison comes into the sea grade.

1750
01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:24,479
Speaker 1: Outside cornerbacks Chavarius Ward Diamador Lenore both allows sub zero

1751
01:27:24,640 --> 01:27:27,880
Speaker 1: seventy passer ratings and they've combined for three interceptions, five

1752
01:27:27,960 --> 01:27:32,519
Speaker 1: pass blocks and zero touchdowns allowed. So is a tricky

1753
01:27:32,560 --> 01:27:34,479
Speaker 1: spot for Addison. I can only get him to a

1754
01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:37,960
Speaker 1: C grade in this one. kJ Osbourne's on the bench

1755
01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:40,960
Speaker 1: despite taking over for Justin Jefferson last week. He only

1756
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:44,000
Speaker 1: got a slight upticking snaps and targets and routes and

1757
01:27:44,040 --> 01:27:46,000
Speaker 1: not the big spike that we wanted from a guy

1758
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:50,240
Speaker 1: who inherited all of Justin Jefferson's coveted route tree. And yeah,

1759
01:27:50,280 --> 01:27:52,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna be sitting on the outside. And as I mentioned,

1760
01:27:52,240 --> 01:27:54,519
Speaker 1: these are really good corners on the outside. So I

1761
01:27:54,560 --> 01:27:57,120
Speaker 1: can't put a bench starting grade on kJ Osbourne or

1762
01:27:57,160 --> 01:28:01,160
Speaker 1: Brandon Powell either. And that leaves us with TJ. Hockinson

1763
01:28:01,200 --> 01:28:04,120
Speaker 1: to discuss. He has seen eight or more targets in

1764
01:28:04,200 --> 01:28:06,960
Speaker 1: five of six games this season, and with Justin Jefferson out,

1765
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:09,320
Speaker 1: you know the volume is going to stay high for Hockinson.

1766
01:28:09,760 --> 01:28:10,080
Speaker 5: Be nice.

1767
01:28:10,160 --> 01:28:12,759
Speaker 1: We caught a few more contested catches. He's only scored

1768
01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:14,599
Speaker 1: in one game. He needs to come up with more

1769
01:28:14,600 --> 01:28:17,719
Speaker 1: of those catches that are more meaningful. Now they could

1770
01:28:17,720 --> 01:28:21,000
Speaker 1: be missing. I just can be missing a coverage linebacker

1771
01:28:21,280 --> 01:28:23,639
Speaker 1: Dray Greenlaw and that could be a big help for him.

1772
01:28:23,880 --> 01:28:26,559
Speaker 1: B grade and Hockinson and if you're all that together,

1773
01:28:26,600 --> 01:28:28,519
Speaker 1: I can only get to a C grade on Kirk

1774
01:28:28,560 --> 01:28:31,080
Speaker 1: Cousins in a very tough matchup against the defense at

1775
01:28:31,120 --> 01:28:34,320
Speaker 1: ranks number one in coverage, number one in pass rush.

1776
01:28:35,040 --> 01:28:38,920
Speaker 1: Viking's pass blocking is improved, but still this is a

1777
01:28:38,960 --> 01:28:42,680
Speaker 1: really tricky spot for any quarterback. Only Matthew Stafford has

1778
01:28:42,680 --> 01:28:45,439
Speaker 1: managed a solid game against the Niners three hundred and

1779
01:28:45,479 --> 01:28:47,599
Speaker 1: seven yards in a score for him. That is your

1780
01:28:47,640 --> 01:28:52,120
Speaker 1: upside for Kirk Cousins in this matchup. Thank you for listening, everybody.
