WEBVTT - The Return of the Byepocalypse 0:00:01.920 --> 0:00:06.920 Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from iHeartRadio, your weekly 0:00:07.000 --> 0:00:11.600 source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice. Now, 0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:15.800 along with the guys from Guillotine Leagues dot com, here's 0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:17.640 your host, Paul Jargian. 0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:22.040 Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm Paul Jarchi and my 0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:27.080 co hosts today are Matt Harrison and Brian Johnson. Hey, guys, 0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:30.200 what a boys? Hey, what's better than snow football? 0:00:30.720 --> 0:00:32.280 Oh gosh, that was fun last night. 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:33.879 Snow football with Jamis Winston. 0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:38.559 Nothing better, nothing better than Jameis Winston snowfootball. That was 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:42.320 a blast. I love snow football. Did you guys play 0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:43.360 snow football in the backyard? 0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:44.159 New World? Absolutely? 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:46.280 That was like the call. That's when you went and 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:49.559 played right, it's snowing. This is when you go play football. 0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:52.080 Oh and growing up, I'm thinking of like a Joe 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:56.000 Montana Sports Talk football. Remember that you can control the weather. 0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:58.400 Whenever you could control the weather, it was always snow. 0:00:58.400 --> 0:00:59.600 You're always put in snow, in. 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:02.600 The snow for absolutely every time snow. 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:05.039 I was playing that n C double A twenty five 0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:07.160 game with my kid, put it on snow and then 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:10.440 realized that my jerseys were white. And then I I 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:11.640 can't see my receivers. 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:12.880 It was a bad, bad move. 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.479 I'm surprised that doesn't create more problem in real life. 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:19.240 I think it did for Pittsburgh. 0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:19.640 It might. 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:21.720 I trouble seeing some of them. 0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:25.920 The best high visibility jerseys for snow football are the browns, 0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:29.200 the dark brown and the blaze orange. You can see 0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:29.960 them so clear. 0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:37.199 The Seahawks might, oh, the highlighter those are the worst. 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:39.920 I think they retired those, thankfully, hopefully. 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:42.959 Yeah, well, but they still have the uh like as 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:45.240 the third color is still the neon greens. It's just 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:46.120 not overt. 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:48.240 Yeah. And them in the Rams had like that dirty 0:01:48.360 --> 0:01:50.440 laundry color too, Like they're like. 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:52.280 Off the Rams. It's called bone. 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:55.240 I call it dirty long white tea shirts. 0:01:55.360 --> 0:01:55.640 Bone. 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:56.960 Yeah, that's the name of the color. 0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:57.800 I had no idea. 0:01:58.080 --> 0:01:58.840 What did they call it? 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:01.480 Tusk? Wouldn't that be better than bone? 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:05.120 Well, aren't tusks from your but it's that would be 0:02:05.200 --> 0:02:07.640 horn horn, they're. 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:10.200 Not Walrus's still like touss cheese. Lots. 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:11.760 To get to the course of this show, we're gonna 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:13.480 break down all the games. We'll give you letter grades, 0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:16.200 and all the significant players take a chance on me. 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:18.400 Nine players you would not normally start will tell you 0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:22.160 who they are. Three tough questions will be answered later 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:27.520 in the show. And our second to last premature speculation, 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:30.400 I think, or maybe third to last premature speculation. It's 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:31.120 coming to an end. 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:32.120 Running sweet time. 0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:34.720 Yeah, we're run on time. To prematurely speculate. 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:36.000 We kill it right about Thanksgiving? 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.600 Is that when the last buy is over, Okay, that 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:40.680 is our That is when we kill it off. Yep, 0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:43.320 so we got a couple more weeks of premature speculation. 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.760 Let's dive into the matchups Lions are taking on the Colts. 0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:50.400 Matt Lions are coming off yet another dominating offensive performance 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:54.440 fifty whatever two points last week. I gotta believe it's 0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:56.080 pretty much start everybody here. 0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:59.200 Yeah, Jamiir Gibbs and David Montgomery will start with them. 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:01.520 They're both getting a grades. The Colts have seen the 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:03.640 most running back touches in the league this year, with 0:03:03.800 --> 0:03:06.480 thirty two per game, and have allowed the third most 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:09.480 combo yards at one fifty one. By the way, neither 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:13.640 Gibbs nor Montgomery has got to single digit PPR points, 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:17.000 yet every game so far double digit PPR points. They're 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:20.520 both super reliable Sam Laporta. He's back from an injury 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:22.400 and I'm not afraid to do it. I'm giving Laporta 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.480 an A grade here. What Yeah, Colts are bottom ted like. 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:27.799 A guy who has a rostered Sam Laporta all year. 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:29.640 I got him everywhere. Man, Come on. 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:33.880 We talked about this on three tough questions. Colts are 0:03:33.919 --> 0:03:36.840 bottom ten and receptions, yards and touchdowns allowed to the 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:39.400 tight end position, and before missing last week with a 0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:42.560 shoulder injury, Laporta had scored in two of his last three, 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:45.840 so I like him here. Aman Ross Saint Brown gets 0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:48.280 an actual tough matchup out of the slot, and Kenny 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:51.320 moore More is the seventh best ranked corner by Pro 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:55.440 Football Focus, but he's also allowed five touchdowns on the season, 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.240 and Sun God has scored in eight straight games, so 0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:00.880 he still gets an A grade. Jameson Williams had a 0:04:00.920 --> 0:04:04.200 huge week last week, but he's been super inconsistent with 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:07.160 target totals. In his last six games. He's had target 0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:09.800 totals that could all be seen on a single six 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:14.560 sided die and he's rolled each number once. They'll take 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:16.719 a few deep shots at him, especially when he's going 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:20.440 against Samuel Womack or Jaylen Jones. Both corners are seeing 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:25.039 a dots above twelve, So it's a C grade on 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:27.560 the prospect that he breaks a deep ball, and then 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:29.240 Jared Goff gets an eight grade because I like his 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:32.360 old offense. The Colts are allowing the seventh most completions 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:35.440 in the fifth most yards. That seems very goffable or 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:40.279 goff tacular or golf pudding, whatever it is. Anthony Richardson, 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:40.720 it's good. 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.320 Yeah, I like that. Richardson. 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:46.480 On the other side, should be missing his top left tackle, 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:50.200 Bernard Ryman, but they were missing him last week too, 0:04:50.320 --> 0:04:52.480 and Richardson still had his best day of the season 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:55.360 against the Jets. Tougher test for sure against Detroit this week. 0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.000 The Lions have given up at least twenty nine rushing 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:01.760 yards to a quarterback five times already this year. Richardson 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.080 got to thirty two last week but scored twice on 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:06.640 the ground, and they've also allowed the tenth most passing 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:10.159 yards at two forty nine per game. Problem is they bend, 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:13.360 but they don't break. They've only allowed seven passing scorers 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:17.280 all season through ten games. They have fourteen interceptions. Yeah, 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.599 they have double the amount of picks as touchdown passes allowed. 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:22.920 And I don't think Detroit has allowed more than one 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:26.160 touchdown pass in any game this year. Yeah, it's all 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.120 about Richardson's legs in this one, I think. 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:28.440 Yeah. 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:30.640 With the Lions favored by over a touchdown on an 0:05:30.680 --> 0:05:32.960 over under in the fifties, game, script should still favor 0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.920 Richardson throwing end running, so he's gonna make a few mistakes. 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.720 I'll give him a B grade here the receivers. When 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:42.280 Richardson is the starter, Michael Pittman is his first look. 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.960 In the six games that Richardson has started and finished, 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.640 Pittman's target share has never dipped below twenty two percent. 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:52.120 Basically one in four Richardson passes is going towards Pittman, 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.400 so there should be ample volume in this game toward Pittman. 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:58.200 I'm giving him a B grade. Josh Downs also gets 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:00.799 a B running from the slot. He gets a meek Robertson, 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:03.799 who's allowed a ninety one passer rating in his coverage 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:08.320 and his PFF player grade is below the Kindle Vildor line, so. 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:09.400 That's not a good thing. 0:06:10.720 --> 0:06:13.760 Also below the Kindle Vildor line is Terry and Arnold, 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:17.160 who matches up with Alec Pierce. He's way below the 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:20.080 Villdor line and should be susceptible to a deep shot 0:06:20.200 --> 0:06:21.800 or too, so a sea dart for Pierce if you 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.760 need the home run ball. And then finally, Jonathan Taylor. 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.120 He only gets a C grade in this. In the 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:30.080 last three weeks against a couple of similar good run 0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:33.560 stopping defenses, Taylor only managed forty eight yards against the 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:37.800 Vikings and fifty seven yards on twenty four carries against 0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.839 the Jets. The volume could dry up if Detroit gets 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:42.760 ahead a little bit too, so just a sea grade 0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:43.320 on Taylor. 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:46.440 You mentioned Terry and Arnold, the first round pick for 0:06:46.480 --> 0:06:48.560 the Lions and a lot of opportunity for him to 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:52.000 get better. But two picks before him in the NFL 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:55.039 draft was Quinnon Mitchell to the Eagles, and he might 0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:56.680 be the rookie of the year. 0:06:57.160 --> 0:07:00.680 Cooper Degen doesn't look too bad, looks great. Second round. 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:04.960 He has turned into a shutdown slot corner also readily 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:06.120 so the Eagle. 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:07.440 Howie Roseman nailed it. 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:09.080 He's he's so good. 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:12.800 Spoiler alert, there's a Cooper on Cooper breakdown. Come. 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:15.400 I like it, I like it. 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:18.160 Those corners bowed bad news, but we'll get to that later. 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:22.520 Tennessee takes on Houston. Brian Taj Spears ruled out of 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:25.360 this game, so Tony Pollard's going to get almost all 0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:27.680 the work. So does he belong in lineups? 0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:30.080 He should get most of the work. But not a 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:32.880 great matchup. It wasn't a great matchup for Pollard last week. 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.920 Brutal matchup against a future defensive Player of the Year 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.280 Andrew Van Gingle and company. And it doesn't get much 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:41.440 better against the Texans, who are allowing less than four 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:43.800 yards per carry to running back. So they've surrendered just 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:47.000 seven total touchdowns of the position. They've been out been 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:49.320 without Will Anderson on their front four for a while. 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:50.880 He's going to make his return. He is elite if 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:52.680 you're not aware of will Anderson. So just to see 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:57.120 for Tony Pollard, even with Spears out over the receivers 0:07:57.200 --> 0:08:00.680 Calvin Ridley, just to see here at least eight targets 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.520 in five of his last six games. Tons of air 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:06.640 yards from Bill Levis. There's a ceiling for Ridley, for sure, 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.600 but a very scary floor. Ridley has scored in just 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:12.760 two games of this season, granted one was a multi 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:16.400 score game, but the Texans have surrendered the second most 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:19.840 wide receiver touchdowns. They haven't had their bye week yet, Houston, 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.240 but they're allowing one and a half scores per game 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.480 to the position, So I will throw Ridley in my 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:29.280 lineup at temporary expectations. I will not start Nick Westbrook Keene, 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:32.400 but I might bet him for an any time touchdown scorer. 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:39.040 Here's Nwi's Firstwhi's first game was in Week six, following 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:43.840 Tennessee's by Here's his touchdowns by game since then. One one, one, 0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:47.800 one zero, one wow, five to six. But he's on 0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:49.880 the bench in this matchup as his Chico Konquo at 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.760 tight end. Houston allowing just three and a half catches 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:54.880 thirty two yards per game to tight ends, and Will 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:57.920 Levis he's on the bench to no shocker there. Over 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:01.720 to the Texan side, Joe Mixon monster season for mixing 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:04.720 just a be here, though might be a little bit 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.120 of a bump in the road for Joe. The Titans 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:09.640 are allowing a measly three point seven yards per carry 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:12.600 to opposing running backs who are barely averaging one hundred 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:17.320 combo yards per game, but mixing an absolute belcow seeing 0:09:17.360 --> 0:09:19.440 over ninety percent of the snaps on a weekly basis, 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:23.040 absolutely insane. Tennessee is allowing one point three total touchdowns 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:25.360 per game to running back, so there is a game 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:27.200 potential for mixing, but I'll play it safe with the 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:31.000 b for mixing this week. The Texans played it safe 0:09:31.040 --> 0:09:34.040 with Nico Collins last week. He only ran twenty one routes. 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:37.240 It's about half of his workload. Hopefully gets ramped up 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:40.400 this week, but teams do not throw on the Titans much. 0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:44.480 Tennessee yielding just twenty eight pass attempts per game, which 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:47.120 is leading to less than ten catches per game from 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:50.000 opposing wide receiver units. You're not gonna sit in n 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:52.400 Go by any means. You're starting him without a doubt, 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:54.200 But I'm just gonna give him a CEE here. Not 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.520 a great matchup. We're not sure if they ramp him 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:58.880 up all the way, and game script probably not gonna 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:01.600 favor the pass passing game. That is why I tanked 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.520 Dell on the bench as his tight end Dalton Schultz. 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:07.120 Only two tight ends have scored against Tennessee this year. 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:09.439 There are better options this week, and even in the 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:13.040 waste and even in the bike apocalypse in the wasteland 0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:15.880 double bad for tight ends, but I'm still benching Dalton 0:10:15.920 --> 0:10:19.440 Schultz and I'm close to benching CJ Stroud. I will 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:22.840 give him a CEE though again game script concerns, But 0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:26.240 there is big play potential for Stroud now that Nico 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:28.800 Collins is back in the lineup. Twenty three percent of 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:32.120 the passing plays against Tennessee have gained ten or more yards. 0:10:32.120 --> 0:10:34.000 That is the third highest clip in the league. So 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:36.560 if Stroud gets it done early, he is viable. But 0:10:36.679 --> 0:10:38.400 just a soft sea for CJ. 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:43.839 Cowboys take on the Commanders. This is not good as 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.520 we've I'm to learn which part's not good, the whole 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.720 thing on the Dallas side. Oh okay, all right, let's 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:50.760 just start with the only there's only three players you 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:53.120 could possibly care about. With the Cowboys, I'm gonna start 0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:55.840 with our bench greade on Rico dubtel even at a 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:58.600 sixteen bye week, I'm not starting him and it's a 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:02.720 neutral matchup. In the two Cooper rush games, rico'dowdle has 0:11:02.720 --> 0:11:05.679 gotten ten and twelve carries. That is just not enough 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:08.480 volume to feel confident in the league's worst rushing attack. 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.360 The Commanders giving up some big games to running backs, 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.600 but those are all volume backs, and Doubtell doesn't get 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:16.000 enough volume. The only receiver you care about is, of 0:11:16.040 --> 0:11:19.400 course Ceedee Lamb, now not fully healthy but expected to 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:22.719 play in this one, and through sheer repetition, Lamb has 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:28.280 been fantasy serviceable. But it's all four yard pass, six 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:33.720 yard pass, five yard pass. It's very short, easy, high 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:37.800 completion percentage stuff that does not yield big gains. So 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:43.680 if you are okay with like a catches for fifty yards, 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:46.680 this is probably still a sea level grade for Ceedee Lamb. 0:11:47.000 --> 0:11:49.960 Washington's a sneaky good pass defense. They've only allowed two 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:53.400 wide receiver scores in the last seven games, including holding 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:56.960 aj Brown and DeVonta Smith to modest games last week. 0:11:57.520 --> 0:11:57.760 Church. 0:11:58.160 --> 0:11:59.720 I know we're going to talk a little bit about 0:11:59.720 --> 0:12:02.640 this later on some of the wide receivers, But is 0:12:02.679 --> 0:12:06.200 ced Lamb like maybe the most tradable guy right now 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:09.000 that you can just get rid of like a sabotage trade. 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:11.840 Well, it's funny you bring that up. Discussed that on 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:13.960 last week's show as a matter of fact, and yes, 0:12:14.280 --> 0:12:16.160 that is we think the right thing to do is 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:18.320 to try to trade CD Lamb we don't think. I 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:22.440 don't think you're gonna get three consecutive playoff wins with 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:23.079 CD Lamb. 0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:23.680 Absolutely. 0:12:25.040 --> 0:12:29.319 The other Dallas cowboy you should care about is Luke's Schoonmacher. 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:32.000 It's really schoonmaker. But here's what I want to believe 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:38.520 that the Schoonmacher family, like his forefathers, were schooner builders, 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:42.880 building ships designed to traverse the wild oceans. And they 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.480 were so good at it that they changed their name. 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:48.160 Like the last name was like Phillips. They're like it's 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:50.480 easy and everyone can spell it. But no, we're such 0:12:50.520 --> 0:12:56.360 good schooner makers, we're going to become schoonmaker. And Luke 0:12:56.600 --> 0:13:00.240 is just the last most recent generation of schoonmakers, which 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:01.760 is possible schooner makers. 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:03.400 I'd like to believe that to be true. 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:04.600 I think there's a good chance. 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.800 Do you see so you see a bad schoon rising, No, 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:09.640 a good schoon good schoon rise. 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:13.280 So last week Jake Ferguson gets knocked out and he's 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:15.319 not expected to go in this game. He gets knocked 0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:19.560 out like late first quarter. Schoonmaker gets ten targets in 0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:23.400 three quarters, ten and it's all dump off stuff from 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:26.319 Cooper Rush commanders have allowed three tight end touchdowns in 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:29.280 the last three games. CE grade on Luke's schoonmaker, a 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:31.400 C grade on Ceedee Lamb, and a bench graade on 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:36.200 Rico Doubtle. Full schoon, Yeah, full schoon. Okay, sure we'll 0:13:36.240 --> 0:13:39.679 go with that Washington side. Let's start with the running game. 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:41.840 I like Brian Robinson a lot here. He's missed some 0:13:41.880 --> 0:13:43.720 time with injury, but he's back here and should be 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:47.520 at near full health. Almost every opposing lead runners at 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:51.200 big games against Dallas, including Joe Mixon with three touchdowns 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:55.920 last week. Robinson's a powerback, and guys like Tyler Ljeer 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:59.960 and David Montgomery and Derreck Henry all posted big games 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.880 with touchdowns. Now, Robinson doesn't catch, which is the only 0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:04.840 reason he's not in a grade. He's a B grade here. 0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:08.440 Dallas is the seventh most carries twenty four per game, 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:10.400 and Robinson's going to get the bulk of those, so 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:13.520 he comes in with a B. Austin Eckler also a bee, 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:16.760 always a safe start, and he's got some unusual upside 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:20.400 this week as the Cowboys reliably give up big receiving games. 0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:24.000 Nine different backs of top twenty receiving yards against Dallas. 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:28.320 In the last three Dallas games, Joe Mixon had forty 0:14:28.320 --> 0:14:32.000 four receiving yards. B John Robinson had fifty nine receiving yards. 0:14:32.040 --> 0:14:34.080 All of that in recent games. All right, let's go 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:39.600 to the passing side of Washington. Terry Mclaurinry McLaurin last 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.400 week only two targets and one catch, but a far 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:46.040 easier matchup this week against Dallas. McLaurin runs seventy seven 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:48.120 of his percent of his routes. I didn't I think 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:51.720 he's the most one sided, one side of the field 0:14:51.800 --> 0:14:55.040 player that there is going. Oh really this year Seon 0:14:55.240 --> 0:14:58.960 Ryder left. He is left side strong. Is a Trayvon 0:14:59.080 --> 0:15:02.160 Digs side of the f Diggs has been decent, but 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:04.880 we've also seen lapses, including his game against San Francisco 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:08.080 when he gave up two touchdowns. A little worrisome. Some 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:12.760 teams just don't bother throwing at Trayvon Diggs because the 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:14.920 coverage is easier on the other side of the field 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:17.520 against Josh Butler. So there's a little downside in Terry 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:20.240 and he comes in with a B grade zach Ertz 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:23.440 Also B grade Cowboys have been slaughtered by tight ends 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:26.360 of late allowing five touchdowns in the last six games, 0:15:26.880 --> 0:15:29.200 Ertz gets almost one hundred percent of washing It's tight 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:33.280 end looks non Artz tight ends only have nine targets 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:33.840 all year. 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:37.560 Nine times nine times. 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:43.120 That leaves Jaden Daniels a grade. The bounce back is coming, obviously. 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:46.760 The slump really a middling fantasy producer for a month, 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:48.840 but especially the last two weeks, but that was against 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:53.000 Philadelphia and Pittsburgh arguably like defense one to two in 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:57.360 the NFL, So the bounce back probably coming here. Dallas's 0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:00.760 last four games they've given up thirty four points, twenty 0:16:00.800 --> 0:16:04.680 seven points, thirty points, and forty seven points, so there 0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.560 should be plenty of points here. The only scenario that 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:11.960 worries me is this, some teams get ahead so far 0:16:12.040 --> 0:16:14.880 and so quickly on Dallas they don't bother to pass. 0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:19.360 Two different quarterbacks this year, one quarterback at a fourteen 0:16:19.480 --> 0:16:22.080 pass game and another quarterback at a fifteen pass game 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:25.360 against Dallas, so that's possible. And then the rib injury 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.600 looks like still a real lingering thing with Jaden Daniels, 0:16:28.800 --> 0:16:30.720 and if they get up ahead they could just protect him. 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:33.560 Marcus Mariota could be in at halftime. Maybe who knows. 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:36.640 So there's a smidge of downside and Jayden Daniels you 0:16:36.640 --> 0:16:40.560 should be aware of, but he gets a A grade. 0:16:40.960 --> 0:16:43.920 Washington likes to sweep the leg though when they play 0:16:44.280 --> 0:16:45.760 Dallas they hate each other. 0:16:46.120 --> 0:16:49.840 Oh charge, I looked up scoon maker. Yeah, it's a 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:52.360 Dutch name. You know what it translates to an English 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:57.280 It's kind of a cool nickname. The cleaner, no way, look, 0:16:57.400 --> 0:16:59.240 the cleaner, spoonbucker. 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:02.720 I bet it's actually schoon Mocker like that. I love it. 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:06.280 We can call him schoon man to come together with 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:09.240 your hands save you don't know, schoon man, spoon man. 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:09.879 You know, spoon man. 0:17:09.920 --> 0:17:14.080 Don't you have no idea where Matt? Yeah, I'm I 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:14.359 don't know. 0:17:14.359 --> 0:17:16.520 It's not that old. I don't know. 0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:18.360 It feels like it right now, I tell you that much. 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:21.320 When we come back, take a chance on me. Nine 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:23.920 players you would not normally start. Find out who they are? 0:17:24.040 --> 0:18:03.560 Would we come back? Nine players you would not only start, 0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:07.440 but you can this week for situations that are very 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:11.440 unique and special. We begin with Matt Harrison. Who is 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:12.680 your taking chance on me? Quarterback? 0:18:12.760 --> 0:18:13.879 It's Tommy DeVito. 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:14.920 Yeah. 0:18:15.040 --> 0:18:18.440 In one week Devido the Giants removed Daniel Jones as 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:21.200 the starter, told everyone he'd be the third quarterback behind 0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:24.320 Tommy DeVito and Drew Locke, then signed another quarterback and 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:28.200 cut Danny times. So the cutlet king can't wait to 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:30.399 get back into a better matchup than ever because the 0:18:30.440 --> 0:18:33.879 Bucks are basically bottom five in every metric against quarterbacks. 0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:37.800 Last year, DeVito walked into a similar matchup against a really, 0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:41.520 really horrible Washington defense, and everybody remembers how bad they 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:42.200 were last year. 0:18:42.600 --> 0:18:44.679 As the pack against historically bad. 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:47.640 DeVito had his best game of his career in that game, 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:49.800 two hundred and forty six yards and three scores. 0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:51.960 Put it down. He's gonna do it again. 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:53.119 All right, you're taking chance on me? 0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:56.040 Quarterback Brian I got a Geno Smith at home versus 0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:59.560 the Cardinals, who haven't been getting shredded by opposing quarterbacks 0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:02.040 when it comes to fantasy stats. But Arizona might be 0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:05.040 getting lucky in that regard. The Cardinals own the fourth 0:19:05.080 --> 0:19:07.800 worst pressure rate in the league. That'll help Gino, and 0:19:07.800 --> 0:19:11.160 their completion rate against is nearly sixty nine percent, so 0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:14.879 those are good underlying numbers. I just think offenses have 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:16.920 been falling short or coming up short at the goal 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:18.600 line when it comes to the receiving game, and there's 0:19:18.600 --> 0:19:20.480 been a lot of rushing touchdowns that the Cardinals have 0:19:20.520 --> 0:19:23.600 been giving up. So shootout potential here for Gino. And 0:19:23.600 --> 0:19:25.760 for what it's worth, he has thrown for multiple scores 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:28.760 in his last three against Arizona. This is the first 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:30.760 meeting of the season though between these two teams. 0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:33.639 Geno Smith is your NFL passing leader. 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:37.520 He was as of last week. I'm sure he's probably 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:39.840 still probably still I'll take a look. 0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:41.919 Justin Herbert goes up against Baltimore. 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:48.920 The old airfare Yeah, baby, it's kind of line finally 0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:52.440 reliably getting enough volume to be a fantasy producer. 0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:54.200 At the beginning of the year, it was just all 0:19:54.280 --> 0:19:58.320 running all the time. Now he's averaging ten more passes 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:00.240 per game than he did in the first mon of 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:02.800 the season as a result of the past five weeks. 0:20:03.760 --> 0:20:09.400 Air Bear quarterbacks six over the last five weeks. Meanwhile, 0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:13.320 Baltimore seeing the most passes per game thirty nine per game, 0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:16.200
