Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio,
Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and
Speaker 1: advice Leagues dot Com. Here's your host, Paul. Welcome to
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul Charcy and joining me today.
Speaker 1: We've got well, it's a little bit in flux right
Speaker 1: at the moment. Brian Johnson is definitely here. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: Batterson is late but making an appearance. Colin mccogney, all
Speaker 1: the way from a British jail. Colin, I'm curious. I'm
Speaker 1: a little bit curious about how you could have possibly
Speaker 1: gotten out of jail so quickly. Did you go Andy
Speaker 1: du frains on on some jail cell and just like
Speaker 1: tunnel your way out Cadbury is Flake. A cattle trucked
Speaker 1: me a way to Bristol. Yeah, you trucked your way
Speaker 1: to Bristol. You're right, yes, Bristol, sure, brown bread and
Speaker 1: city slickers here, I am, yeah, here, you are right
Speaker 1: here in studio. It's great to have you here, Colin.
Speaker 1: I swore at an anti mccockney clause in my contract,
Speaker 1: so I'm just Brian. You're a custard bun is a
Speaker 1: custard bun. We'll go through all of the matchups fantasy
Speaker 1: style as we always do, letter grades on all the players,
Speaker 1: will talk about the injured the healthy. Will also play
Speaker 1: three tough questions as always, will release our nine take
Speaker 1: a chance of many players and premature speculation Matt. Premature
Speaker 1: speculation red hot over the past few weeks, including the
Speaker 1: likes of Goss Edwards and Goss Edwards Dot, Joanna, Ducks
Speaker 1: and Geese. It was looking pretty nice until the end
Speaker 1: of the game on Thursday night. Hopefully, hopefully Gus is
Speaker 1: all right. We hope, We hope for nothing but good
Speaker 1: things for God. Are we love Gus Edwards. Let's start
Speaker 1: with the New York Giants taking on a Seattle Brian.
Speaker 1: You know, for the Giants, this is a surprise team
Speaker 1: that has won a lot of games, but hasn't necessarily
Speaker 1: put up a lot of reliable points outside of Sa
Speaker 1: Kwan Barkley. Yeah, let's start with Sa Kwan. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: bake in the Fantasy Fonzie here and say we'll call
Speaker 1: him Say Kwan Barley. After allowing over a hundred rushing
Speaker 1: yards running backs for five straight weeks to begin the season.
Speaker 1: The Seahawks have only given up a combined seventy five
Speaker 1: rushing yards over the last two weeks, but that came
Speaker 1: against the Cardinals without James Conner, and last week the
Speaker 1: Chargers running backs total just twelve carries. I think Barkley
Speaker 1: sees a lot more than that. Plus over the last
Speaker 1: three weeks, Alvin Kamara and Austin Ekel are both top
Speaker 1: to ninety receiving yards against Seattle. So I love say
Speaker 1: Kwan here. He gains the FONZI uh, not a whole
Speaker 1: lot of the other giants to like. I do like
Speaker 1: Wan Dale Robinson only saw snapshare in week six when
Speaker 1: we ran ten routes. Last week is snapshare jump to
Speaker 1: mccocky knows how that works. That's shocking y nine routes
Speaker 1: in that game. So I think we see another big
Speaker 1: bump in usage this week. Seattle only allowing a hundred
Speaker 1: three two yards per game to wide receivers. But Tarik
Speaker 1: Willen is in the conversation for Defensive Rookie of the Years. Honey,
Speaker 1: I mean, I've never missed Matt so much in my
Speaker 1: life that will make an appearance in this show. I
Speaker 1: don't know, I just I wanted to give Darius Slayton
Speaker 1: a starting grade, but I got him on the bench. Um,
Speaker 1: there's been some trade rumors that they're gonna the Giants
Speaker 1: are gonna trade Darius Slayton too, even though they just
Speaker 1: traded Darius Tony and they're very thin and wide receiver.
Speaker 1: So maybe it's a showcase game for for Slayton. But again,
Speaker 1: the matchup not great, so he's on the bench. Uh, sadly,
Speaker 1: as is well Daniel Bellinger, the tight end for the Giants,
Speaker 1: recovering from an orbital in re look brutal on the
Speaker 1: Thankfully his eyes is not, so he he's out for
Speaker 1: the foreseeable future. But uh, that's a bummer. I mean,
Speaker 1: we're looking at Chris meyer Rick and Tanner Hudson, but
Speaker 1: I gotta put them both on the bench. But it's
Speaker 1: a shame Seattle is allowing eighty four yards for game
Speaker 1: to tight ends, so but I don't know which one
Speaker 1: to pick there. So they're on the bench, but Daniel
Speaker 1: Jones is not. Daniel Jones gets a sea and Daniel
Speaker 1: Jones has more rushing yards than James Robinson, Naji Harris,
Speaker 1: A J. Dillon Antonio Gibson and Kareem Hunt. And yes
Speaker 1: they've all played the same number of games. It's not
Speaker 1: like those running backs that had to buy. He's in
Speaker 1: an effective tie with Justin Fields for the second most
Speaker 1: quarterback rushing yards, behind only Lamar Jackson. That's how that
Speaker 1: is how Daniel Jones is helping you. It's the forty
Speaker 1: eight rushing yards per game, and they're designed place he
Speaker 1: was sound like, they're not broken play so that they're
Speaker 1: trying to scheme him to run the ball out of
Speaker 1: Seattle yielded a hundred rushing yards at Kyler Murray two
Speaker 1: weeks ago, so that bones world for Jones. But outside
Speaker 1: allowing that monster game to Jared Goff, the seahawkside is
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago. The Seahawks haveps rendered zero or
Speaker 1: one passing touchdowns in five of six games. So just
Speaker 1: to see for Daniel Jones over at the Seattle side, Uh,
Speaker 1: not a C for Kenneth Walker the third he gets
Speaker 1: an A we have a sound bite here valid blarnet,
Speaker 1: cheese and kisses. I have a unique skill where I
Speaker 1: can name like songs and movies the year were made.
Speaker 1: But anyway, you know, if I haven't heard the song
Speaker 1: or seen the movie. But anyway, Kenneth Walker easy a
Speaker 1: averaging nearly seven yards per carry with four touchdowns in
Speaker 1: the two and a half games played without Rashad Penny.
Speaker 1: The Giants are allowing nearly six yards per carry in
Speaker 1: our ranked thirty against the run by Pro Football Focus.
Speaker 1: So A for Walker, B for Tyler Lockett dealing with
Speaker 1: the hamstring issue but should play d K Matt Metcalf
Speaker 1: hasn't been ruled out, but he's all but likely to
Speaker 1: sit this one out with a knee injury. If there
Speaker 1: was one published report on Friday that said that DK
Speaker 1: Metcalf won't play the rest of the year. Now, that
Speaker 1: has not been substantiated at this time, but both certainly
Speaker 1: want to watch that closely. Well, it's it's hard to
Speaker 1: gage his injuries when he gets carried off a few
Speaker 1: weeks ago to take a dump and then he gets
Speaker 1: carried off with an actual ankle injury, so who knows
Speaker 1: where metcalp said hopefully he'll be back after the street.
Speaker 1: What was that anyway? Back to lock It, Uh, you
Speaker 1: should see a ton of volume and it's not a
Speaker 1: great matchup. Opposing wide receivers are averaging just eleven catches
Speaker 1: on thirty three yards per game against the Giants, who
Speaker 1: have allowed just one wide receiver touchdown over the last four.
Speaker 1: For that reason, I have marquees to the Castle. Goodwin
Speaker 1: on the bench, old friend of the show, very old
Speaker 1: friend of the show. I forgot to even existed until
Speaker 1: last week. And uh the tight ends on the bench
Speaker 1: as well, Noah fanton well death lack gab Mike and
Speaker 1: a gypsy's kiss well death lay from Scotton. Uh looked
Speaker 1: like Fanton was distancing, distancing himself from this leave. But
Speaker 1: last week this Lee out does fans. So we're we're
Speaker 1: out on both those guys. We're still in on Geno
Speaker 1: Smith though, but just to see again likely no dk Metcalf.
Speaker 1: That stings, especially against the Giants, who have allowed a
Speaker 1: completion percentage of just fifty six percent. Best in the
Speaker 1: NFL the league averages sixty percent. That secondary has been
Speaker 1: playing great even without James Bradberry. As a result, the
Speaker 1: posing quarterbacks were averaging only two passing arms in one
Speaker 1: passing touchdown per game against New York. All right, now
Speaker 1: we get around the house game in London. Yet somehow
Speaker 1: Colin mccockney in studio here in Minnesota. Roast puck chocky
Speaker 1: boy on your chest hair hedges. Oh, I love the
Speaker 1: sound of smashing choccy boys smashing. Yes, Brian big Boy,
Speaker 1: Jamie Dodger, You ready for Tottenham points? So I gotta
Speaker 1: I gotta translate for you kiddies and ponies and foggy underwear. Okay, Yes,
Speaker 1: Colin said something about the Jaguars and Broncos playing in
Speaker 1: London on Sunday morning. Da travy, travy, poof and a bathtub.
Speaker 1: He's seeing apples and pass He's seeing a base in
Speaker 1: a gravy. Captain Kirk and Spucky Sparko borrow and beg
Speaker 1: bottle and stop. Even the Smalley bums ain't talking about Willis.
Speaker 1: I'm a little rusty, but I think you said Trevor
Speaker 1: Lawrence in the whole passing game is on a bench
Speaker 1: that includes Christian Kirk, all the jones Is, Evan and
Speaker 1: grim and even Dan Arnold under dumber than I thought.
Speaker 1: The Broncos having allowed of passing score in a month. Uh,
Speaker 1: they just held justin Herbert two eight scoreless yards a
Speaker 1: few weeks ago on fifty seven attempts. And it's not
Speaker 1: a defense that you want to start the passing game against.
Speaker 1: By the way, I'm doing like the work for you.
Speaker 1: Are you getting paid? Do I get any sitting here? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Come on, I swear I heard something about a bucket
Speaker 1: of gravy, but I must not. I always struggle with that.
Speaker 1: Not even worthy of that. But carry on. Greece's pieces
Speaker 1: and a phone home. He's a bonnet of flowers. Jam
Speaker 1: tart me nabbies because the lemon merchant is selling apples,
Speaker 1: numbies and crumbies on the opera ladies. Travis think it's
Speaker 1: a b James Robinson traded to the Jets this week.
Speaker 1: E t A looks ready to carry the load. Double
Speaker 1: digit rushing attempts and four of his last five. Last week,
Speaker 1: he took fourteen carries for fourteen yards and a touchdown.
Speaker 1: The Broncos defense is allowing four point eight yards per carry,
Speaker 1: the seventh worst mark in the NFL. I think you
Speaker 1: take some liberties with that Rossi ROSSI, we don't trustee.
Speaker 1: He's short of a sheet and might weep and well
Speaker 1: with the rats and mice. Jagua is a Scotch miss too.
Speaker 1: He's bleeding bended knees like Johnny snow Well, Russell Wilson
Speaker 1: on the bench despite a decent matchup. He missed last
Speaker 1: week with a hamstring injury and has been a distraction
Speaker 1: all season, but he'll start on Sunday most likely. He's
Speaker 1: only hit two D seventy five yards once this year.
Speaker 1: He's only thrown for multiple touchdowns once. The Broncos have
Speaker 1: only topped sixteen points once this year. Is this it's
Speaker 1: all around bad? Judge Judy in Parliament, Funky Mutton going
Speaker 1: pig and roast, getting three and tea time he makes
Speaker 1: up an oily rag for Austin Martin. The Queen's not
Speaker 1: gonna have any cheese. No cheese, you're Heah Cortlan Sutton
Speaker 1: and Jerry Judy both get a sea. The Jaguars have
Speaker 1: allowed seven different wide receivers who topped ninety yards or
Speaker 1: score over the last five weeks, and they're also allowing
Speaker 1: about a hundred fifty yards per game to wide receivers,
Speaker 1: so there should be enough for each of them to
Speaker 1: hit sixty yards with the eight or nine targets they
Speaker 1: see per game. Greggy no legs, he's no submarine, capping penny,
Speaker 1: come quick nine and backgammon and then a front gammon.
Speaker 1: Front gammon that's better than the backgammon. It's a seed
Speaker 1: for dol Chitch Dulcich, who saw nine targets last week
Speaker 1: from Brett Rippon and a touchdown from Wilson the week before.
Speaker 1: Jacksonville has at faced many good tight ends this year,
Speaker 1: the most notable one Dallas Goddard my boy, who went
Speaker 1: for five catches and seventy two yards. Malvy on the
Speaker 1: shelby and blurry scurry be pony and jugs on a raspberry.
Speaker 1: He's off the knacko with a tinkle, isn't he? Isn't
Speaker 1: he is? Broncos get a sugar basin and a chalk farm.
Speaker 1: This is the last London game of the season. Ord
Speaker 1: in with Davis Murdy. Bothdavious Murray both get a see.
Speaker 1: Mike Boonen went to i R this week and the
Speaker 1: Broncos signed Marlon Mack, who cares. The Jaguars are allowing
Speaker 1: a ton of touches to opposing runners around per game.
Speaker 1: That's the sixth most, and they're also allowing about a
Speaker 1: hundred and forty combo yards per game to runners, tenth most.
Speaker 1: The Broncos like they'll split Gordon in Murray's touches this week.
Speaker 1: Murray even caught two passes last week, so again they
Speaker 1: both get a C grade. Get your ascot races on
Speaker 1: a jam jar on the half inch call it out.
Speaker 1: Thank god. Colin mccockney, I'm more. I think the bobbies
Speaker 1: are coming for Colin right now. I think he may
Speaker 1: have You know, a lot of people hear this show,
Speaker 1: including the constables that are looking for the escaped convict.
Speaker 1: Colin mccockney, Oh, call them. You called the called the cops.
Speaker 1: I was translating and uh texting the authorities. I think
Speaker 1: that's probably a very good idea. Multitasking. Yeah, when we
Speaker 1: come back, Arizona is taking on the Minnesota Vikings. We'll
Speaker 1: tell you what to do with Eno Benjamin. He's back
Speaker 1: as a starter. One good game, one bad game. What
Speaker 1: do you expect from Eno Benjamin is Fantasy Football Weekly continues.
Speaker 1: It's take a chance on me. Nine players not normally
Speaker 1: in your starting lineup. Many of these guys are available
Speaker 1: on your waiver wire. One of mine definitely is I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be starting one of mine with who is this guy? Oh?
Speaker 1: Hrch I what did I miss in the first segment
Speaker 1: I just got here. Sorry, welcome back. You'll be sad
Speaker 1: to learn the reapprehension of Colin mccockney. He's been captured again.
Speaker 1: That's right. I feel like I'm in an episode of
Speaker 1: Carmen San Diego. It's very similar to that Who's the
Speaker 1: bad guy in Carmen Sandy? There was a lot of
Speaker 1: different ones, but Carmen San Diego was the main band guy.
Speaker 1: That's right. There was some girl like that was always
Speaker 1: trying to chase out. Yeah, the chiefs, you know, and
Speaker 1: the kids, right right, Uh, let's start the quarterback position.
Speaker 1: Matt Harrison now joining who is you take a chance
Speaker 1: on me? Quarterback? I've got General Davis Mills coming off
Speaker 1: his best game of the year where he threw for
Speaker 1: three two yards and two scores against the Raiders. That
Speaker 1: was a favorable matchup. So is Tennessee, who is impossible
Speaker 1: to run against but very easy to throw on. In
Speaker 1: six games this season, four of the quarterbacks who have
Speaker 1: faced the Titans have thrown for over three hundred yards,
Speaker 1: and five of the quarterbacks who they played have thrown
Speaker 1: for multiple scores. Yorks, take a chance at me, quarterback,
Speaker 1: Brian I got former XFL star p J Walker over
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers at the Falcons, who just just suck
Speaker 1: for multiple reasons. We'll get to that later, but on defense,
Speaker 1: specifically allowing nearly three yards and two passing touchdowns per game,
Speaker 1: they are second in pass attempts allowed, first and completions.
Speaker 1: Walker also has some wheels when needed. The Falcons have
Speaker 1: surrendered a quarterback rushing touchdown in two of their last
Speaker 1: four games. I'm liking the Panthers and this one led
Speaker 1: by p J. Walker. I'm I'm kind of with you
Speaker 1: on this. Get this Panthers win their game, They're in
Speaker 1: first place. You rowed my lawn a little bit that
Speaker 1: that that game decides that Carolina Land, whoever wins, will
Speaker 1: be in first place. And it's amazing. Andy Dalton goes
Speaker 1: up against Las Vegas. He's coming off a rare four
Speaker 1: touchdown game, which admittedly is very uncommon for him, but
Speaker 1: the Raiders offered the promise of statistical upside for Dalton.
Speaker 1: Every opposing quarterback has scored multiple touchdowns against Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: Recent success stories include Davis Mills, the take a chance
Speaker 1: on the quarterback that Matt Harrison gave us last week.
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. I mean, those are two guys who do
Speaker 1: not normally light up the box score. So we'll take
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton this week. Let's go to the running back position.
Speaker 1: You take a chance on the runner, Matt. I've got
Speaker 1: Kenny Gainwell. Now. Miles Sanders is getting around twenty touches
Speaker 1: per game, and that's fine, But the Steelers defense is
Speaker 1: seeing around thirty running back touches per game against them
Speaker 1: right now, and this game should not be close. It
Speaker 1: should be garbage time midway through the third. In his
Speaker 1: last two games, game Wells posted yards per carry averages
Speaker 1: over five and he scored in one third of his
Speaker 1: games this season. So you could do worse than Kenny Gainwell.
Speaker 1: All right, Kenny Gainewell in what's your take a chance
Speaker 1: on me? Who is your take a chance on me?
Speaker 1: Running back? Brian I got Miami's Chase Edmonds at Detroit. Yes,
Speaker 1: I know Wherehee most is the lead back right now,
Speaker 1: but Edmunds could still see ten to twelve opportunities against
Speaker 1: the Lions, who are allowing these second most rushing yards
Speaker 1: and the most the most touchdowns per game to opposing
Speaker 1: running backs. Over their last three games, Detroit has allowed
Speaker 1: or mondre Stephenson, Rashad Penny in the Dallas back field
Speaker 1: to combine for an average of a hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: one rushing yards and one point three touchdowns. So Chase Edmunds,
Speaker 1: come on, you're not dead yet. Niheim Hines returned to
Speaker 1: health last week and had a big role for the Colts.
Speaker 1: He's back is the number two behind Jonathan Taylor. Hines
Speaker 1: is one of the league's best pass catching backs, and
Speaker 1: that's why I like him. Here he's gonna face a
Speaker 1: Washington defense allowing the most receiving touchdowns two runners, five
Speaker 1: of them this year, and that includes last week's monster
Speaker 1: line to Aaron Jones. He had nine receptions fifty three
Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns last week. Sam Ellinger's making his
Speaker 1: first start. Ellinger is making his first start. I think
Speaker 1: there could be a lot of dump off passes, safety
Speaker 1: valve receptions for Nikem Hines from Ellinger The Slinger, Ellinger,
Speaker 1: the Slinger, elve Slingerlinger, el Slinger. I like Stage five Linger. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's good too, don't get it, wedding crashers. It's all right, Okay,
Speaker 1: let's go to the wide receiver position and or tight
Speaker 1: end I've got a wide receiver this week. It's Quez Watkins.
Speaker 1: The Steelers are a disaster, and I don't think anybody
Speaker 1: else would their disaster in the secondary. Right now, they're
Speaker 1: allowing the most yards per game to wide receivers in
Speaker 1: the entire league, at two nine per game. That's enough
Speaker 1: for A. J. Brown and Devanta Smith to get their's
Speaker 1: and leave some for Quaz who's on the field for
Speaker 1: about six of his snaps. So go get him, all right, Brian,
Speaker 1: your take a chance of me receiver? Got Scott Fish's boy,
Speaker 1: Terris Marshall, he does bearing him up with p J.
Speaker 1: Walker all right. At Atlanta, of course, was allowed these
Speaker 1: second most yards and the most recepts and the most
Speaker 1: touchdowns per game to opposing wide receivers. At the end,
Speaker 1: I've got Trent Sherfield as my deepest dart throw receiver
Speaker 1: of the year. Gary, what's that? Gary Sheffield? Not now?
Speaker 1: Gary Sheffield is still getting paid? I think first let's
Speaker 1: just start with this. Who the hell is Trent Sherfield.
Speaker 1: He's the slot receiver for the Dolphins. He has dominated
Speaker 1: the snap count over Cedric Wilson throughout the month of
Speaker 1: October and has now solidified himself as the number three
Speaker 1: receiver for Miami. Sheffield has had two decent games this year,
Speaker 1: including last week forty four yards. The Lions have benched
Speaker 1: their slot cornerback Mike Hues, and now Sherfield's going to
Speaker 1: run against a practice squad call up named A. J. Parker.
Speaker 1: Parker has played in a total of two games in
Speaker 1: his career in which he has allowed one of the
Speaker 1: passes in his coverage to be completed. Trent Sherfield, It's
Speaker 1: it's a long shot, but hey, you never know. I
Speaker 1: could end up working out stuff throwing those Let's go
Speaker 1: back to the matchups, including Arizona taking on Minnesota. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna start with the running game, and you know Benjamin,
Speaker 1: he's had two games as the starter. Looked very good
Speaker 1: last week, I thought, and then totally ineffective the week before.
Speaker 1: Probably safely somewhere in between those things here, which is
Speaker 1: a totally lame cop out, but it's true. Minnesota owns
Speaker 1: the third best run defense according to Pro Football Focus.
Speaker 1: No runners topped eighties seven yards, and that was way
Speaker 1: back in Week three. You know, it can catch a
Speaker 1: little bit, typically getting three catches a game. Vikings are
Speaker 1: middle of the road and covering runners out of the
Speaker 1: backfield have not allowed to touch down that way. James
Speaker 1: kind of ruled out of this game. Thought about giving,
Speaker 1: you know, Benjamin a B grade, but I can only
Speaker 1: get him to see here. But it's it was close,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go with a firm C grade, you know, Benjamin.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the passing game. Kyler Murray rarely puts
Speaker 1: it all together in one game. He hasn't finished any
Speaker 1: week higher than QB seven this year, and his average
Speaker 1: finishes a disappointing QB thirteen for Kyler Murray. And didn't
Speaker 1: the new call of duty just come out too? And
Speaker 1: the new call of Duty came out on Friday? So
Speaker 1: how can Kyler Murray be expected to pay any attention
Speaker 1: to the game plan? Not gonna happen. Can it all
Speaker 1: come together from Minnesota? Don't know, don't think so. We
Speaker 1: tortured the Vikings last year. I'll note that four hundred
Speaker 1: yards and three touchdowns, and the Vikings just gave up
Speaker 1: four hundred yards in their last game. But that's been
Speaker 1: an anomaly for a ben But don't break Minnesota defense
Speaker 1: that's otherwise allowed l A allowed a more manageable two
Speaker 1: hundred sixty two yards and an eighth one zero point
Speaker 1: eight touchdowns per game. So I've just got the B
Speaker 1: grade on Kyler Murray here a grin and DeAndre Hopkins.
Speaker 1: Though big game in his return last week, I don't
Speaker 1: think we need to spend a lot of time on this,
Speaker 1: but I'll note that he ran a bunch of plays
Speaker 1: from the slot last week and that would put him
Speaker 1: into the most favorable coverage against the Vikings against cornerback
Speaker 1: Shandon Sullivan, who is the weakest of the three Vikings corners.
Speaker 1: Zach Ertz also gets an A grade. Vikings linebackers have
Speaker 1: struggled against coverage, especially against tight ends Eric Kendricks and
Speaker 1: Jordan Hicks. Hicks Hicks is allowed the fourth most receiving
Speaker 1: yards of any linebacker this season, and Mike Gasecki torched
Speaker 1: the Vikings for six receptions and two touchdowns last game.
Speaker 1: And the last guy I want to talk about from
Speaker 1: the Cardinals is Ron del Moore. Normally I don't spend
Speaker 1: time on him, but he posted a career best one
Speaker 1: hundred fourteen yards against Minnesota last year and scored the
Speaker 1: only touchdown of his career against the Vikings. He's last
Speaker 1: year posted the league's shortest a dot, which was right
Speaker 1: around one yard. This year six shortist so it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a lot of short stuff and that's why he's
Speaker 1: only a C grade here. But the Vikings give up
Speaker 1: a lot of cushion at the line of scrimmage, and
Speaker 1: I do see him catching five six balls. All right,
Speaker 1: let's go to the Viking side. You know, Justin Jefferson
Speaker 1: is an obvious A grade Adam feelings a seat. He's
Speaker 1: averaging just two point four yards of separation per route,
Speaker 1: that is the twelfth lowest among wide receivers. Still, he's
Speaker 1: seen at least seven targets in five straight games, and
Speaker 1: that volume should lead to a decent game here. Theeland
Speaker 1: will likely see cornerback Byron Murphy no matter where he
Speaker 1: lines up, because Murphy is one of the few cornerbacks
Speaker 1: that will go into the slot and play outside. He's
Speaker 1: allowed at least four receptions for fifty yards in each
Speaker 1: of the last three weeks, and I think fifty yards
Speaker 1: feels about right for feeling. I think they should use
Speaker 1: him more in the red zone than they do, and
Speaker 1: and hopefully that will change a nice opportunity if you
Speaker 1: need a sleeper tight end off the waiver wire, think
Speaker 1: about IRV Smith, who may be available in your league.
Speaker 1: About fifty rostered Arizona is allowed the most receptions, the
Speaker 1: second most yards, and the most receiving touchdowns. Two tight ends.
Speaker 1: I've got a B grade on IRV Smith and lastly,
Speaker 1: Uh from the passing game, Kirk Cousins. Frustratingly, Cousins has
Speaker 1: the league's shortest average throw, just six point four yards.
Speaker 1: It is a disheartening schematic decision that has sapped the
Speaker 1: upside from one of the league's best deep ball passers.
Speaker 1: It's killing me. Andy Dalton's picked apart the Andy Dalton
Speaker 1: picked apart the Cardinal secondary last Thursday and they ran
Speaker 1: thirty in coverage. The prior four quarterbacks, though, to face
Speaker 1: Arizona have only average two hundred twenty yards and incredibly
Speaker 1: just zero point two five touchdowns, which is weird. I
Speaker 1: think I don't know why. It is not a great
Speaker 1: Cardinal secondary and teams have thrown on him like crazy,
Speaker 1: but the box scores haven't added up. They're good at
Speaker 1: diving into the end zone off of pick six? Is
Speaker 1: that that was pretty fun? That's pretty good. Cousins of
Speaker 1: B grade. Lastly, Dalvin cooks Uh Cook, excuse me, largely
Speaker 1: because of a mediocre secondary, Arizona is seeing just eighteen
Speaker 1: rushes per game, so I don't know the volume is
Speaker 1: gonna be on cook side here, which worries me a
Speaker 1: little bit. Uh. Fortunately, he has top five point two
Speaker 1: yards per carry in three of the past four games,
Speaker 1: so Cook has been at least running reasonably well lately.
Speaker 1: The Cardinals have only allowed Kenneth Walker to reach seventy
Speaker 1: yards well. Josh Jacobs, Christian McCaffrey, and Alvin Camara alf
Speaker 1: low seventy yards. Cook is getting more red zone looks lately,
Speaker 1: which is also helpful, and we've got some optimism for
Speaker 1: an elusive, relatively elusive Dalvin Cook touchdown. Alright, our next
Speaker 1: matchup and final matchup of this segment is Las Vegas
Speaker 1: taking on New Lens Brian. Yeah, we're gonna start with
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs six in rushing attempts, third in rushing yards,
Speaker 1: second in rushing touchdowns among running backs, and he's only
Speaker 1: he's been on He's on one of the team several
Speaker 1: teams that have had their bi already, and he still
Speaker 1: ranks that high. Among running backs just in an absolute
Speaker 1: bell Cow also one of fifteen running backs who catch
Speaker 1: at least twenty passes so far. And the Saints run
Speaker 1: defense not as stout as it's been in the past
Speaker 1: their top ten in the most rushing yards allowed to
Speaker 1: running back, So in a for Josh Jacobs getting that
Speaker 1: DeMarco Murray treatment that we predicted, like way back in
Speaker 1: the spring, possible we did talk about that they're just
Speaker 1: gonna just grinding them up so that they can let
Speaker 1: him go in the off season. Let somebody else get
Speaker 1: all the wear and tear on. Josh Jacobs definitely worthy
Speaker 1: of the peacock there. Davante Adams dealing with a bit
Speaker 1: of a flu bug I guess, but you should be
Speaker 1: good to go. Going to give him an a. The
Speaker 1: Saints just put cornerback Bradley Roby on I R and
Speaker 1: they should remain without corners march On Lattimore stud corner
Speaker 1: in that regard and pauls in Nadebo. The Saints have
Speaker 1: read surrendered six wide receiver touchdowns over the last three
Speaker 1: weeks and have allowed a one yard receiver in each
Speaker 1: of their last four. For that reason, I'll give Hunter
Speaker 1: renfro with C. I mean, it's two games since returning
Speaker 1: from injury. Renfat Renfa was only seen seven targets, but
Speaker 1: he's caught them all and this could be a get
Speaker 1: right game for Renfro against the very banged up secondary
Speaker 1: of the Saints. Uh. Speaking of banged up, Darren Waller
Speaker 1: kind of been banged up the last two seasons, it
Speaker 1: seems like. But uh, he's been practicing this week, so
Speaker 1: I'm optimistic could be ready to go and overcome his
Speaker 1: hamstring injury. But it's a brutal matchup on paper. The
Speaker 1: Saints are allowing less than thirty yards per game to
Speaker 1: tight ends and they have yet to surrender a touchdown
Speaker 1: to the positions. With just a C for wall Or
Speaker 1: if he's able to play. But I'll give Derek Carr
Speaker 1: a B. Didn't do much against Houston last week coming
Speaker 1: off the by, but he's still throwing multiple scores in
Speaker 1: four of six games. And again, the Saints defense just
Speaker 1: reeling from injuries, especially in the secondary, So safe B
Speaker 1: for car Over the Saint side. I'm gonna give Alvin
Speaker 1: Kamara an A. Since the start of Kamara is averaging
Speaker 1: nearly thirty more combo yards per game. When Jay ms
Speaker 1: Winston isn't the quarterback, which will be the case again
Speaker 1: this week. Las Vegas has only allowed three scores running
Speaker 1: backs all season, but they allow seven catches per game
Speaker 1: to the position to the position, and that's all I
Speaker 1: really need to give Alvin Kamara in a in this matchup.
Speaker 1: Over the wide receivers, Cristal Lava safe be here without
Speaker 1: shutdown corner Nate Hobbs, who's now on I R. The
Speaker 1: Raiders allowed too wide receiver touchdown so Houston last week,
Speaker 1: and a Lobby just looks great, and Andy Dalton loves
Speaker 1: to look his way, so safe be. Dalton doesn't have
Speaker 1: the armful those deep passes we were seeing to a
Speaker 1: Lava earlier in the season, but you know the opposite
Speaker 1: part of that is he throws a catchable pass to
Speaker 1: a Lava, So yeah, it's still very valuable. Now over
Speaker 1: to the the nightmare wide receiver to situation where Michael
Speaker 1: Thomas and Jarvis Landry have been ruled out. Disaster there,
Speaker 1: there's no reason to talk about now, there's too many
Speaker 1: I mean, Kevin White getting yeah, we're not going there.
Speaker 1: To the tight ends kind of interesting here, and give
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill and Juwan Johnson to see we all know
Speaker 1: the deal with Hill total wild card. He did catch
Speaker 1: a pass last week, his second of the season. I
Speaker 1: will say that the Raiders have allowed the second most
Speaker 1: red zone touchdowns despite having thereby and that bodes well
Speaker 1: for Hill and his wild card bs that they run
Speaker 1: with him. But over the more traditional tight end Juwan Johnson,
Speaker 1: he gets the C two. As I said, the Raiders
Speaker 1: are allowing more than five catches and fifty yards per
Speaker 1: game to tight ends. So I like Jawan Johnson in
Speaker 1: the tight end wasteland. Uh. And lastly, Andy Dalton charges
Speaker 1: take chanceman quarterback. Yeah. I like Andy Dalton this week
Speaker 1: and think he's got a nice opportunity here and the
Speaker 1: fact you've got so many letter grades that's terrific. When
Speaker 1: we come back, New England takes on the Jets, they're
Speaker 1: going back to mac Jones for reasons that are uncleared too.
Speaker 1: Basically everybody will find out the impact that that has.
Speaker 1: And I'll mention there's still new leagues being formed at
Speaker 1: guillotine a leagues dot com. You want to play season long,
Speaker 1: you want to play in a new format, Hey, here's
Speaker 1: your opportunity to draft a brand new team right now
Speaker 1: get in a new league. You can join private leagues
Speaker 1: with your friends with a few as eight. You can
Speaker 1: join public leagues that are now eleven teams deep. As
Speaker 1: we play out the rest of the season, plenty of
Speaker 1: time still two months of gameplay left. Guillotine Leagues dot com.
Speaker 1: More Fantasy Football Weekly coming up next, Welcome back Fantasy
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. Paul Charchy and Matt Harrison and Brian Johnson
Speaker 1: with you. You You can follow us on Twitter at Paul
Speaker 1: Charchy in You have to figure out how to spell
Speaker 1: it at explosive output and at B t x J respectively.
Speaker 1: You don't have to figure out how to spell that one.
Speaker 1: I hope not. I mean, I don't know how you
Speaker 1: could break that down anymore granularly than bt x b
Speaker 1: E E C E e x g j Y the
Speaker 1: letter itself in the When you spell out the letter,
Speaker 1: can you include the letter you got this Burner account
Speaker 1: actually got the multiple underscores and uh. For reasons that
Speaker 1: only Bill Belichick knows, Mac Jones is back under helm
Speaker 1: at least to start the game, who knows for how long.
Speaker 1: At least it's not a home game, will will be
Speaker 1: booing mac Jones like last week. What do you expect
Speaker 1: for Mac Jones against a much improved Jet secondary. Well,
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick is so smart, we don't understand the mind
Speaker 1: games he's playing with with you, with me, with the
Speaker 1: fan base, with with Mac Jones and Bailey's appy whole
Speaker 1: different level of understanding of really human engineering. I think
Speaker 1: until we get one of the quarterbacks to start and
Speaker 1: finish a whole game, you have to keep everybody on
Speaker 1: the bench for for the quarterbacks. They're also starting center
Speaker 1: David Andrews will miss this game due to a concussion,
Speaker 1: so that makes things worse for the quarterback position. Jacoby
Speaker 1: Myers is the starter in the passing game, though he's
Speaker 1: been pretty reliable. He gets to see it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: who the quarterback is. He's at double digit PPR points
Speaker 1: in every game he's played this year. Myers runs out
Speaker 1: of the slot mostly so he'll avoid the coverage of
Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner, who will mostly be locked in on DeVante Parker,
Speaker 1: which is why he's on the bench. This is a
Speaker 1: pre premature speculation, but keep an eye on Tae Kwon Thornton.
Speaker 1: The Pats are giving him like five to six touches
Speaker 1: per game and he's blazing fast. Romander A Stevenson, he
Speaker 1: gets a B grade. I'm leaving Damien Harris on the bench.
Speaker 1: Harris is not on the injury report this week, although
Speaker 1: initially when he had this hamstring injury, they said it
Speaker 1: was like a four week variety and he came back
Speaker 1: after missing one week. And Harris only saw three touches
Speaker 1: and last week in Chicago, so Stevenson had nineteen there,
Speaker 1: including eight receptions. The Jets are average against every running
Speaker 1: back category, so I think Stevenson probably carries the load
Speaker 1: this week. On the other side, the running back position
Speaker 1: is sad because Bruce Hall is gone for the year.
Speaker 1: The Jaguars traded James Robinson to the Jets, but I
Speaker 1: think for the foreseeable future, Michael Carter is the guy
Speaker 1: in this backfield. I agree they I think they traded
Speaker 1: James Robinson knowing he's kinda watched. Yeah. Probably, I'll give
Speaker 1: Carter a see here based on the fact that I
Speaker 1: think he gets of the touches this week. And while
Speaker 1: the Packers are sorry, the Patriots are a great run defense.
Speaker 1: They have allowed the tenth most receiving yards to opposing backs,
Speaker 1: and Carter is really good at that. In fact, in
Speaker 1: his last meeting with the Pats, Carter was targeted nine
Speaker 1: times and he had eight catches for sixty seven yards.
Speaker 1: Robinson on the bench for me this week. Let's see
Speaker 1: how much of the playbook he picked up? And actually
Speaker 1: how healthy is Zack Wilson is on your bench? So
Speaker 1: is Garrett Wilson and the rest of the passing game.
Speaker 1: In the meeting last year where Wilson started and finished
Speaker 1: the game against New England, he through for two yards
Speaker 1: and four interceptions. He got injured in the other game
Speaker 1: against the Pats last season. He also doesn't looked good
Speaker 1: since his return. He's averaging only on passing yards and
Speaker 1: has thrown only one touchdown pass in four games. Also,
Speaker 1: Corey Davis out with this week with a knee injury.
Speaker 1: Elijah Moore might play if his tantrum has subsided, but
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not thrilled about putting him in my lineup. No,
Speaker 1: for sure not. Do you know what Wilson will see
Speaker 1: a ton of action in that game? The football. It's
Speaker 1: called the Duke. It's called the Duke. Yes, so is
Speaker 1: the original Xbox controller. So take o Chicago. I don't
Speaker 1: want to take a duke. Chicago takes on Dallas, and
Speaker 1: we're gonna start with the running game here. I've got
Speaker 1: s grades on both David Montgomery and the ground Bear
Speaker 1: Khalil Herbert. This seems closing in on a fifty fifty
Speaker 1: time share with Monty ground Bear. Fortunately, Chicago's game plan
Speaker 1: will heavily feature the run. As always, considering Dallas is
Speaker 1: incredible pass rush, they will run a lot in this game.
Speaker 1: Chicago already runs at the league's highest run rate and
Speaker 1: the second highest rushes per game thirty five per game,
Speaker 1: and even with justin Field siphoning off some of those carries,
Speaker 1: that is enough volume to make both Monty and ground
Speaker 1: Bear plausible starters. Dallas is the middle of the road
Speaker 1: run defense, and probably get this, Chicago has Pro Football
Speaker 1: focuses top ranked offensive line for run blocking. That's not right.
Speaker 1: That's got to be some kind of type over miss print.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the rest of the Bears that you
Speaker 1: care about. Mark Darnell Moon is the only other player
Speaker 1: with the starting grade, and that's a B grade here.
Speaker 1: He runs from the slot and Dallas slot cornerback Jordan
Speaker 1: Lewis had season ending Liz Frank surgery. So fifth round
Speaker 1: rookie da Ron Bland. He can't remember his name for
Speaker 1: some reason. Durn Bland likely defends Mooney here. In his
Speaker 1: only full game, Bland has allowed nine receptions on eleven
Speaker 1: targets for eight yards. Darnell Mooney b grade here. We're
Speaker 1: not gonna bother with anybody else except justin Fields. So
Speaker 1: I'll mention is on the bench attempting to follow up
Speaker 1: Fields as impressive Monday Night performance with a start this week.
Speaker 1: But here's the problem. Dallas is wreaking havoc on every
Speaker 1: opposing core her back. They own the top ranked pass
Speaker 1: rush by Pro Football Focus in Chicago's offensive line is
Speaker 1: not good despite that number one ranking and run blocking,
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen here? They're gonna pressure Fields. Fields is
Speaker 1: gonna try to scramble, and he's gonna scramble himself into turnover,
Speaker 1: sacks and other misq's. And I'm not I am not
Speaker 1: going to try justin Fields here. Zeke Elliott not expected
Speaker 1: to play in this game. Let's talk Tony Pollard with
Speaker 1: the highest ranking I've ever given him, he is my
Speaker 1: number nine ranked running back right now. If um, if
Speaker 1: it turns out Zeke does decide to play, which I
Speaker 1: do not expect, then we'll knock him down to grade.
Speaker 1: But right now, a grade for Tony Pollard. Next Gen
Speaker 1: stats has got pology is the fourth most efficient running back,
Speaker 1: and Zeke has been dominating. The art is really everywhere
Speaker 1: but including the short stuff. But Paul, it's gonna get
Speaker 1: all that work. And the Bears have seen the third
Speaker 1: most rushing attempts and they've allowed a rushing score in
Speaker 1: every game. I love Tony Pollard in this start the
Speaker 1: Pollard vark. No, Nope, nope, why not? I can't give
Speaker 1: the funds. You've done it payback. That's good. This is
Speaker 1: this is not okay. Let's talk about Dak Prescott's grade here.
Speaker 1: I thought he looked pretty wobbly in his return last
Speaker 1: week against a far inferior past defense Detroit shockingly second
Speaker 1: best past defense, allowing just one yards per game. They've
Speaker 1: got some young talent in that secondary. Since Week two,
Speaker 1: every opposing quarterback has thrown zero or one touchdown against
Speaker 1: Chicago and in recent games, the Giants were held at
Speaker 1: eighty two passing yards. Carson wentz to yards and then
Speaker 1: last Monday, Bailey's happy through for a D five yards
Speaker 1: against Chicago. This is a legit past defense. I don't
Speaker 1: like Dak Presscott much, just the se grade. The one
Speaker 1: guy I do like, Ceedee Lamb. I mentioned Chicago's got
Speaker 1: this great young defense that they're building, except their slock
Speaker 1: cornerback is terrible. That's Kyler Gordon. He's allowed the most
Speaker 1: receptions and the most yards of any cornerback in the league,
Speaker 1: and the second most yards after the catch. So Ceedee Lamb,
Speaker 1: who has started running from the slot with Michael Gallup's
Speaker 1: return sitting on a B grade. In this game, Chicago
Speaker 1: is allowing the second fewest receptions the third fewest yards
Speaker 1: overall to opposing receivers, which is why all the other
Speaker 1: receivers for Dallas, including Michael Gallup, are on the bench.
Speaker 1: Last guy I want to mention his Dalton Sheltz. In
Speaker 1: the two game Sheltz is played with Dak Prescott, He's
Speaker 1: had fifteen targets in those two games, twelve receptions, hundred
Speaker 1: nine yards. That's very promising, but the Bears have given
Speaker 1: up the fifth fewest points in just one touchdown to
Speaker 1: tight ends all season and is ongoing knee injury. It's
Speaker 1: just every week he hobbles into the game, he gets
Speaker 1: hurt in the game, then after missing some plays, he
Speaker 1: comes back out and he's limping through the game. But
Speaker 1: in the tight end, tight end waste Land. We're gonna
Speaker 1: go ahead and give a c great to Dalton l
Speaker 1: because you just don't have better options out there. Final
Speaker 1: matchup of this segment is my Well, maybe we'll find
Speaker 1: out Miami taking on Detroit. Brian I can make this
Speaker 1: move pretty quick. We'll start with the Miami side where
Speaker 1: he most gets an A. Uh. The Lions are allowing
Speaker 1: the second most rushing yards and the most touchdowns per
Speaker 1: game to opposing running backs. That's why Chase Edmonds was
Speaker 1: might take a chance on me running back. If the
Speaker 1: Dolphins give thirty opportunities to their running backs, which I
Speaker 1: think they will, they both should be viable. Tyree Kill
Speaker 1: and Jalen Waddle certainly viable, and this one both get
Speaker 1: an A. Detroit allows one seventy yards per game to
Speaker 1: wide receivers. They might not both produce a level production,
Speaker 1: but there Uh, it's a possibility for sure. And Trent
Speaker 1: Shuffield charges take a chance on me? Why yet? And
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give Mike Sicky of starting grade two, he
Speaker 1: gets to see opposing tight ends or averaging five and
Speaker 1: a half ketches and sixty three yards per game against
Speaker 1: the Lions. Last week, Dallas tight ends combined for eight catches,
Speaker 1: sixty one yards and a touchdown against Detroit. And when
Speaker 1: we're giving starting grades to Trent Shutfield and Mike asiki
Speaker 1: uh to a tongue of viola, it's an a of course,
Speaker 1: especially when throwing to Tyree killing Jalen Waddle. So Miami
Speaker 1: should put up plenty of points in this one. So
Speaker 1: batch of bodewell for the Lions. Right, who will get
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift back, most presumably finally shoulder injury. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give him a B. Miami has allowed five rushing scores
Speaker 1: running backs over their last four games and will likely
Speaker 1: be without defensive end Emmanuel Ogba and safety Brandon Jones.
Speaker 1: Lions running backs as a whole or averaging three point
Speaker 1: two yards before contact per carry, that's elite. That's the
Speaker 1: third highest clip in the league. So welcome back DeAndre Swift.
Speaker 1: And even if Swift comes back, Jamal Williams still gets
Speaker 1: to see should see plenty of work with Swift back
Speaker 1: in the lineup, especially near the goal line. He was
Speaker 1: the preferred goal line back for Detroit when Swift was healthy,
Speaker 1: so was C for Williams. I'm gonna give it monros
Speaker 1: st Brown a B for now not officially playing, but
Speaker 1: should make his return from a concussion. Now he didn't
Speaker 1: actually have the concussion, which is a very important point
Speaker 1: for this. He just had symptoms that they were worried about.
Speaker 1: So I think he comes back in place. I do too,
Speaker 1: and it's a good matchup Miami allowing nearly one d
Speaker 1: seventy yards and a touchdown per game to wide receivers.
Speaker 1: Safety Brandon Jones, who I just mentioned it's actually done
Speaker 1: for the season. He's on I R, so he's not
Speaker 1: likely out. He is out. Uh So Sun God is
Speaker 1: in with a B, as is Josh Reynolds. Will give
Speaker 1: him a C in what in a game that should
Speaker 1: be a shootout, and Reynolds will be started. I don't
Speaker 1: think d J. Shark is gonna make his return or
Speaker 1: if he's even in the league anymore, So a C
Speaker 1: for Reynolds and a B for t J. Hockenson, even
Speaker 1: though if you take away his monster game against Seattle
Speaker 1: of eight catches one seventy nine yards and two touchdowns.
Speaker 1: He's been pretty mediocre in his other five games. He's
Speaker 1: total just fifteen catches on thirty six yards and one
Speaker 1: touchdown across those five games. But despite all that, it's
Speaker 1: a great match up against Miami, who has allowed the
Speaker 1: fourth most fantasy points to tight ends this season. And
Speaker 1: I like Jared Goff again. Uh, or back to liking
Speaker 1: Jared Goff. He gets to be. His last two games
Speaker 1: have been pretty bad, but they were against tough opponents
Speaker 1: on the road, New England and Dallas. He was without
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift a monro St Browns for those two games
Speaker 1: for the most part. Uh, you know, Detroit, he's gonna
Speaker 1: give up points to the Dolphins, so they're gonna have
Speaker 1: to chase him. So I golf this week with the beat. Alright,
Speaker 1: let's see if we can tuck in. How much Robbie,
Speaker 1: how much time do we have? Yeah, let's try to
Speaker 1: do it. Let's try to work in Pittsburgh taking on Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: Matt Sure, I'll start with Naji Harris, who I considered
Speaker 1: benching here, but I'll give him the lowest possible grade
Speaker 1: we have. That's not a bench. How far how far
Speaker 1: the letters go? Chart to see. Okay, that is the
Speaker 1: see where at sea level? All right? Harris has had
Speaker 1: sixteen and twenty touches in his last two games, which
Speaker 1: is up a bit. Problem is he's having trouble cracking
Speaker 1: fifty total yards. He's been held under that mark in
Speaker 1: three of seven games this year. And the Eagles are great,
Speaker 1: of course against runners, the second fewest total yards allowed
Speaker 1: to the position. However, they do give up rushing touchdowns
Speaker 1: at a high rate, about one per game. The volume
Speaker 1: plus the shot at a score is why you still
Speaker 1: see the rest of the Steelers are on the bench.
Speaker 1: Philly is allowing the fewest passing yards in the league
Speaker 1: at two eight yards per game. They have the second
Speaker 1: most interceptions in the league. They've picked the ball off
Speaker 1: nine times and only six games. And Kenny get he's
Speaker 1: played the better part of four games. He's thrown two
Speaker 1: touchdown passes in seven interceptions. So the Eagles have a
Speaker 1: better chance to catch Kenny Pickett touchdown pass than the
Speaker 1: Steelers do. Jalen Hurts is the fantasy art Vark this week.
Speaker 1: That's right, you don't, Yeah, so I have to like
Speaker 1: his receivers. Pro Football Focus does a wide receiver cornerback
Speaker 1: Matchup tool and they give a score of zero to
Speaker 1: one hundred. The higher the number, the better the matchup.
Speaker 1: This week they gave A. J. Brown's matchup with Arthur
Speaker 1: Mullett a perfect one. I've never even seen that before.
Speaker 1: So he gets an A. DeVonta Smith gets a B.
Speaker 1: Even Quez Watkins was might take a chance on me
Speaker 1: player he gets a SEA and Dallas Goddard gets a
Speaker 1: B grade. He'll probably be the highest scoring tight end
Speaker 1: this week because we're in the middle of the tight
Speaker 1: end waste land. Finally, Miles Sanders he gets an A grade.
Speaker 1: He's getting nearly all the work over the rest of
Speaker 1: the backfield, averaging twenty touches per game. And I like
Speaker 1: the matchup so much I used Kenny Gainewell as might
Speaker 1: take a chance on me runner. There's gonna be garbage
Speaker 1: time galore in this one. See a one sided game
Speaker 1: coming as well. Well done on that. By the way,
Speaker 1: the less than three minute matchup is a rarity one
Speaker 1: that was that was that was excellent, very very impressive.
Speaker 1: Our number two coming up and which we will continue
Speaker 1: to break down games, including Tennessee taking on Houston Ryan Tannehill.
Speaker 1: Not for this game will tell you if there's anybody
Speaker 1: other than Derrick Henry to play in that game. And
Speaker 1: also a reminder you can get all of my player
Speaker 1: rankings available for free at Guillotine leagues dot com and
Speaker 1: you can join a brand new fresh right out of
Speaker 1: the box. It's got that new league smell to it
Speaker 1: when you join a new Guillotine league. That's that's unfortunate
Speaker 1: in the middle of the season. It's smell. It's kind
Speaker 1: of weird. We're in the pumpkin spice mode right now,
Speaker 1: aren't we charted? Probably for for since. Yeah, the question
Speaker 1: might be who's the first pick overall? Because Jamaar Chase
Speaker 1: was in that conversation, Travis Kelsey's on the by not
Speaker 1: obvious who you might take. I'm looking at the guys,
Speaker 1: but they're buying the rear of you. Jefferson makes some sense.
Speaker 1: Our number two Fantasy Football Weekly coming up next, our
Speaker 1: number two Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charchy and Matt Harrison
Speaker 1: and Brian Johnson with you. This is a game we
Speaker 1: like to call three tough questions. We encourage you to
Speaker 1: play along. They see if you can go three and oh.
Speaker 1: Tough question number one, what is the what is the
Speaker 1: frequency Kenneth Walker will score touchdowns the rest of the year.
Speaker 1: Is it one touchdown or more per game? One half
Speaker 1: to one touchdown per game, or less than half a
Speaker 1: touchdown per game? What is the frequency, Kenneth Matt? Oh,
Speaker 1: now I get it. Now, you get it. Now, you guys,
Speaker 1: you're like, how many times is he going across the stipe? Oh?
Speaker 1: That's good, that's very good. Since offensive coordinator Shane Waldron
Speaker 1: joined the team at the beginning of last season, the
Speaker 1: Seahawks have played games They're running backs have twenty one
Speaker 1: touchdowns on the ground and zero through the air. It's
Speaker 1: a very solid just under one average. And well, Ken
Speaker 1: Walker did score two last week. I don't think that
Speaker 1: that should be the expectation going forward, especially with DK
Speaker 1: Metcalf out for a while. That should focus the defense
Speaker 1: more on Walker. So I'll say just under one per game,
Speaker 1: the half to one per game area, All right, Brian,
Speaker 1: what it? Well? Hang on Walker? Well score touchdowns? Is
Speaker 1: it one or more per game, half to one per
Speaker 1: game or less than half. I don't have much to
Speaker 1: add to what Matt said U other than according to
Speaker 1: Fantasy pros, the Seahawks have the hardest remaining string schedule
Speaker 1: for running backs. So I'm not gonna go one or
Speaker 1: one plus per game, but I'll stick to the half
Speaker 1: to one touchdown per game and that good. I looked
Speaker 1: at football guys for their strength of schedule and it
Speaker 1: was straight in the middle. So who knows. Walkers scored
Speaker 1: at over one touchdown per game as the starter so far,
Speaker 1: the massive workload. I love, the twenty one carries, the
Speaker 1: twenty three carries. Pro Football Focus loves Kenneth Walker ranking
Speaker 1: is the fifth best runner. You just look at him, dude,
Speaker 1: so explosive. One thing to note the playoffs schedule for
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker. You guys, do you? Did you? When you're
Speaker 1: looking at the schedule, you notice this San Francisco, Kansas
Speaker 1: City is currently number one and run defense and then
Speaker 1: the much improved Jets run defense. Actually three pretty tough
Speaker 1: games in the fantasy playoffs. I'll mention that he doesn't catch,
Speaker 1: but that doesn't really affect the touchdowns so much because
Speaker 1: most running backs don't catch many touchdown get a lot
Speaker 1: of receiving touchdowns. Still, roll this together, and it's maybe
Speaker 1: it's just my optimism because I loved Kenneth Walker coming
Speaker 1: into the draft one or more touchdown per game. Kenneth Walker.
Speaker 1: Tough question number two. Wait a minute, By the way,
Speaker 1: we got that Kenneth Walker thing just about right in
Speaker 1: the preseason when we were like, when is he going
Speaker 1: to take over the backfield? It was about week six
Speaker 1: and we just nailed it. You're you're right about that,
Speaker 1: you know, because you knew it. Take a little bit
Speaker 1: of time. We were waiting for a shot Penny to
Speaker 1: either get hurt or just yielded. Eventually that ended up happening.
Speaker 1: Tough question number two. Should fantasy owners just drop outright
Speaker 1: a j Dylan Brian Yeah, I mentioned earlier he has
Speaker 1: less rushing yards and Daniel Jones in the same amount
Speaker 1: of games. I mean, you're basically just holding on to
Speaker 1: Dylan right now in hopes of something happening to Aaron Jones,
Speaker 1: and we don't want to hope for injury. I guess
Speaker 1: if I, if I roster Aaron Jones, I'll hold on
Speaker 1: to Allen as the you know, the the safety handcuff.
Speaker 1: But if not, usually like to take the handcuffs of
Speaker 1: other running backs. But I'm not gonna just squat on
Speaker 1: Dylon because he's not doing much of anything. He's on
Speaker 1: pace for less than a thousand yards and about three
Speaker 1: touchdowns if he's lucky. So, yeah, you can drop him
Speaker 1: just the one touchdown to this point of the season, Matt, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just go ahead and drop A J. Dillon. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I think that's right. He hasn't scored since
Speaker 1: Week one, under four point five yards per carry in
Speaker 1: five of seven games, and only twenty total carries in
Speaker 1: the last three weeks. Yuck. It's time to drop him,
Speaker 1: and that it's time to drop more members of that offense.
Speaker 1: In standard leagues, Aaron Rodgers should be on the waiver wire.
Speaker 1: I'm with you one quarterback league. Aaron Rodgers does not
Speaker 1: belong as a starter, he said. Just he's just a
Speaker 1: waiver guy that you can pick up in good matchups.
Speaker 1: Right now, he's Andy Dalton. Now, wow, that's bad. Aaron
Speaker 1: Jones is playing great football, great football. He's almost six
Speaker 1: yards a carry and meanwhile, running behind the same line
Speaker 1: in the same scheme, here's A J. Dillon running at
Speaker 1: three point nine yards per carry. They've really tapered off
Speaker 1: his carries as well. Over the last three games. A J.
Speaker 1: Dillon just four rushes, ten rushes and six Rushes, and
Speaker 1: then the receiving has never come together entirely for a J. Dillon.
Speaker 1: He's chipping in a little, but not enough there. He's
Speaker 1: literally nothing more than an insurance policy behind Aaron Jones
Speaker 1: in a very faltering offense. Yeah, you need to drop
Speaker 1: a J. Dillon to make room for somebody more promising,
Speaker 1: like perhaps some of the players were going to talk
Speaker 1: about in premature speculation later in the show. Go ahead
Speaker 1: and do it tough. Question number three, with Jamaar Chase
Speaker 1: out until after Thanksgiving? Is t Higgins a top five,
Speaker 1: top ten, top fifteen or worse wide receiver from this
Speaker 1: point going forward? Matt in PPR scoring points per game,
Speaker 1: Higgins is currently the wide receiver number nineteen. Uh, same thing.
Speaker 1: Last season he was wide receiver fourteen. Well, I do
Speaker 1: think there's a few more targets to go around. I
Speaker 1: also think there's more double coverage coming this way. And
Speaker 1: what's bad for the offense is bad for the offense.
Speaker 1: So I'll stick is a top fifteen wide receiver. But
Speaker 1: I don't think you can climb into the top ten
Speaker 1: anytime soon. Okay, Brian is Tee Higgins with Jamar Chase
Speaker 1: out until after Thanksgiving. Is te Higgins a top five,
Speaker 1: top ten, top fifteen or worse fantasy receiver? Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: with Matt. I think Tyler Boyd does better than te
Speaker 1: Higgins while Jamar chases out And hopefully it is only
Speaker 1: more than it's not more than the four to six weeks.
Speaker 1: Hopefully Chase can come back within that time frame. But yeah,
Speaker 1: Higgins is gonna see a ton of double coverage. So
Speaker 1: I think Boyd outproduces Higgins. Oh yeah, that's bold. I'm
Speaker 1: with him. I think Tyler Boyd's coming up on some big,
Speaker 1: big games coming here outscoring Tee Higgins. Sure, he's gonna
Speaker 1: be the primary. Te Higgins is a wide receiver one.
Speaker 1: When Jamar Chase place that, I mean, they feed off
Speaker 1: of each other. Without Chase Higgins, Higgins is gonna struggle
Speaker 1: a little. Um it is. You know what Matt said.
Speaker 1: I believe in that when anything that hurts the offense
Speaker 1: hurts everybody in the offense to some degree most of
Speaker 1: the time, and I think that's probably the case here.
Speaker 1: But Chase leaves behind ten targets per game. Now, obviously
Speaker 1: all ten are gonna go to Tee Higgins. Obviously there's
Speaker 1: gonna be some that go to like Stanley Morgan and
Speaker 1: the other Michael Thomas, who will probably by the way,
Speaker 1: I'll score the original Michael Thomas. The rest of that
Speaker 1: is that like prison Mike. So let's just say Higgins
Speaker 1: gets three of those ten targets per game, which I
Speaker 1: think is reasonable. That puts te Higgins at over an
Speaker 1: almost eleven targets per game. And when te Higgins gets
Speaker 1: ten or more targets his average game seven receptions, nineties
Speaker 1: six yards and almost a full touchdown per game, that
Speaker 1: puts him on pace to be a top five wide receiver.
Speaker 1: When I gonna dial it back just a little bit
Speaker 1: because he will get better coverage. So we're gonna say
Speaker 1: top ten outcome for Jamaar Chase the rest of the way.
Speaker 1: What about hating Hurst getting a lot of these TETs,
Speaker 1: I think I think sitting there, I got aiden Hurst
Speaker 1: a bunch of leagues. I'm hanging onto a movie. It's working.
Speaker 1: One more matchup Pittsburgh. Oh, we already did that one.
Speaker 1: It's me watch Hey, it's me, Hey, it's you. It's
Speaker 1: the Commanders taken on the Indianapolis Colts. Let's talk through
Speaker 1: the commander side. We've got a bunch of c grades here.
Speaker 1: Let's start with the running backs. You know, the Brian
Speaker 1: Robinson story is great. We're all rooting for Brian Robinson
Speaker 1: turning back from the gunshot, wounds and everything else. He
Speaker 1: saysn't look that good. I hate to say it. For
Speaker 1: three consecutive weeks, the Robinson has increased his touches, his yards,
Speaker 1: and his rushing yards per attempts are trending the right way,
Speaker 1: but his production tops out at three point seven yards
Speaker 1: per carry and his next Gen stats he's the third
Speaker 1: least efficient runner in the league. The Colts of a
Speaker 1: lot of backfields to run for at least ninety four
Speaker 1: yards in four straight games, letting six different backs accumulate
Speaker 1: more than fifty yards in that span. So you can
Speaker 1: try Robinson, you can try Gibson, who I just objectively,
Speaker 1: Gibson looks better. It's not. I know it's not the
Speaker 1: narrative that people want to hear. But if you just
Speaker 1: watch Gibson and you watch Brian Robinson, Gibson looks better.
Speaker 1: If only he didn't fumble the ball one out of
Speaker 1: like eight times he touched it. Um there are injuries
Speaker 1: I should mention to the Colts their run stuff for
Speaker 1: Shaquille Leonard and Quitty pay are not expected to play
Speaker 1: in this game, and on carries inside the ten yard line,
Speaker 1: let me mention this. Robinson's got four and Gibson has
Speaker 1: got one. While it's been a split backfield, that four
Speaker 1: to one ratio gives Robinson touchdown upside that Gibson does
Speaker 1: not have. All right, let's go to the receivers for Washington,
Speaker 1: Matt Yeah, Tetery McLaren. The Colts are allowing the fewest
Speaker 1: receptions and yards per game to opposing receivers, which is
Speaker 1: a shocking turn around for that secondary. They also allow
Speaker 1: the fifth few is to air yards allowed per game.
Speaker 1: That really limits mclaurin's ability to get downfield here. That's
Speaker 1: teary now, Flora carnback Stephan Gilmore is not the shutdown
Speaker 1: corner he once was, but he's still good. He's allowing
Speaker 1: a passer rating of just seventy two and has yet
Speaker 1: to allow a touchdown in his coverage. I can only
Speaker 1: give a C grade to Terry McLaren coming off a
Speaker 1: nice game last week. To Curtis Samuel, you know the
Speaker 1: bid on him. He catches a lot of passes but
Speaker 1: they're all super short, and then you're just hoping he
Speaker 1: runs for something, and it usually doesn't amount to very much. Indianapolis,
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, allowing the fewest receptions and yards per
Speaker 1: game to opposing receivers, but they are more vulnerable in
Speaker 1: the slot, and that's where Samuel lines up the vast
Speaker 1: majority of the time. You'll go up against Kenny Moore.
Speaker 1: He opened the season by allowing touchdowns in three straight games,
Speaker 1: but it is not allowed one since Curtis Samuel c
Speaker 1: grade here. Tyler Heineke had a nice game last week
Speaker 1: against a good past defense, and here's another good one.
Speaker 1: I just but I can't get myself to to start him.
Speaker 1: Three the last four quarterbacks to face Indie have failed
Speaker 1: to top one hundred sixty three passing yards. That is nothing.
Speaker 1: So I feel like that's one sixty three sounds about
Speaker 1: right for Taylor Heineken. That is a bench grade. And
Speaker 1: then Logan Thomas might make his first appearance in a month.
Speaker 1: But let's this thing play out and just see how
Speaker 1: healthy he is before we actually start him here, alright,
Speaker 1: Colt side Colts offensive line awful. You know, quentn Nelson
Speaker 1: was at one point and he's still probably it is
Speaker 1: their best lineman by a lot. Everybody else's garbage right now,
Speaker 1: they were like consensus top five right right now. They
Speaker 1: ranked twenties seven and pass blocking by Pro Football Focus
Speaker 1: and thirty in run blocking. That is the biggest problem
Speaker 1: the Colts have on offense, is that offensive line. So
Speaker 1: with that, let's go talk. Let's talk about Jonathan Taylor.
Speaker 1: Is this finally the breakout game for Taylor? He looks healthy.
Speaker 1: He returned last week and ran for almost six yards
Speaker 1: per carry against a in Tennessee defense, and he hauled
Speaker 1: in his season high seven receptions, which he loved. Over
Speaker 1: the last three games, the Commanders are allowing one hundred
Speaker 1: thirty four total yards and almost two touchdowns per game
Speaker 1: to opposing running backs, but those totals are coming from
Speaker 1: unders who are getting a lot of looks and Taylor's
Speaker 1: usages all over the board, including a meager ten inexcusable
Speaker 1: ten carries last week. So I can only give a
Speaker 1: B grade to Taylor because I can't assure you that
Speaker 1: he's gonna get the volume that he should get from
Speaker 1: Frank Reich Nihiem Hines was might take a chance on
Speaker 1: me running back and I've got a bunch of C
Speaker 1: grades for you from the rest of the passing game.
Speaker 1: Let's go. Let's start with the Let's talk about the
Speaker 1: second year guy getting his first NFL start, Sam Ellinger.
Speaker 1: For what it's worth, he had a great preseason and
Speaker 1: Ellinger is a runner. He scored thirty three rushing touchdowns
Speaker 1: in college in at Texas. Yeah. Absolutely, so give good competition.
Speaker 1: He's gonna need to run because the Colts offense line
Speaker 1: is awful. Matt Ryan was the most hit quarterback in
Speaker 1: the league. So you figure that Ellen's gonna be running
Speaker 1: for his life a lot. He'll turn some of little
Speaker 1: scrambles into rushing yards. And Justin Fields ran for eighty
Speaker 1: eight yards against the Commanders two weeks ago, So I
Speaker 1: think Ellinger is gonna end up finishing like the forty
Speaker 1: fifty rushing yard area. And if he just throws like
Speaker 1: one touchdown two hundred yards, you've got a C grade
Speaker 1: on Sam Ellinger. Speaking as C grades, his three receivers
Speaker 1: all get three grades and C grades, including Mike Pittman.
Speaker 1: Pittman hasn't scored since the opener and hasn't caught a
Speaker 1: single red zone pass, which is incredibly depressing, and hopefully
Speaker 1: that will change under Sam Ellinger. The Commander's secondary much
Speaker 1: improved since the benching of miserable cornerback William Jackson. Over
Speaker 1: the past four games, only one wide out has scored
Speaker 1: none of top eighty four yards. Pittman spends most of
Speaker 1: his time on the left side, where he's gonna find
Speaker 1: former Gopher Benjamin st. Juice, who has only allowed a
Speaker 1: forty percent catch rate. So it is a tough matchup,
Speaker 1: but on volume, I'm still giving a C grade to
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman. Paris Campbell has seen a surge in usage lately.
Speaker 1: That's my guy, but that was with Matt Ryan. It's
Speaker 1: unclear if that's going to be the case with Sam Ellan.
Speaker 1: Here we hope. So he got a he's got a
Speaker 1: favorable matchup in the slot against mostly untested starter Rashot
Speaker 1: wild Goose. I love the name wild Goose, and I'm
Speaker 1: looking on here. All we've got this is close. But
Speaker 1: we also have the mon goose that's right here now.
Speaker 1: It was if it was Rashot. We got a vulture
Speaker 1: on there, we got a peacock, we got several birds,
Speaker 1: but no waterfowl all over the place. I hate geese,
Speaker 1: like one of my least favorite animals. They're jerks the
Speaker 1: worst they are jerks. They're they're basically just poop machines
Speaker 1: for honest about it. Alec Pierce has been an effective
Speaker 1: Fantasy performer in three of the past four weeks, and
Speaker 1: he's got a promising matchup against Kendall Fuller, who's allowed
Speaker 1: three touchdowns in a pinch. You could try Alec Pierce
Speaker 1: as well. All right, let's take a break. When we
Speaker 1: come back, Carolina taking on Atlanta winner Donta Foreman the
Speaker 1: winner's championship game. Donta Foreman looks like he's gonna be
Speaker 1: the starting running back with Cuba hoverard out. I saw
Speaker 1: the Panthers win. They dropped sixteen draft spots from where
Speaker 1: they currently are right, which is now what they want.
Speaker 1: So they need to lose this game. Find out how
Speaker 1: you feel and if you can start dot to Foreman.
Speaker 1: When we returned Fantasy Football Weekly, Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly.
Speaker 1: Paul Churchi and Guillotine at leagues dot Com, Matt Harrison,
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson with you, Carolina takes on Atlanta to Foreman
Speaker 1: with hey, really nice game last week is Carolina surprised.
Speaker 1: Everybody's day blew out. Tampa Bay now losers of two straight.
Speaker 1: What do you expect with Chuba Hobbard out? What do
Speaker 1: you expect from dot to Foreman? This week? He gets
Speaker 1: an A. It's great grilling season. I mean he's playing
Speaker 1: the Falcons who were awful on defense, allowing nearly on
Speaker 1: compoyards per game to opposing running backs. Foreman looking at
Speaker 1: a bell cow roll here U Tuba started both games
Speaker 1: against Atlanta last year. Again he is out. But Tuba
Speaker 1: scored in both games against Atlanta last year, so I
Speaker 1: feel like a touchdown is a lock performan. So I
Speaker 1: don't give him an a very safe B, but he's
Speaker 1: got a potential. I'm rolling with the A and d
Speaker 1: J Moore keep the a's coming. He gets one as
Speaker 1: well Lanta. J Moore, Yeah, he see his touchdown last week?
Speaker 1: That pretty It was pretty impressive and uh it's a
Speaker 1: much matchup. Rephrase another way, did you see his only
Speaker 1: touchdown of the year. Yeah, Look, it doesn't matter. We're
Speaker 1: just focused on the president and in president. Currently, he's
Speaker 1: basing the Falcons, who have allowed the second most yards,
Speaker 1: the most receptions and the most touchdowns per game to
Speaker 1: opposing wide receivers. So in a for d J. Moore,
Speaker 1: And that's why Terris Marshall was might take a chance
Speaker 1: on the wide receiver. I I like the Giants who
Speaker 1: have to just scrub tight ends. I wanted to give
Speaker 1: either Tommy Tremble or Ian Thomas a starting grade Atlanta
Speaker 1: allowing more than seven catches and seven yards per game
Speaker 1: to opposing tight ends. But I can't go there. If
Speaker 1: I had to pick one, I'd probably go Tremble, but
Speaker 1: that I got them both on the bench. But uh not,
Speaker 1: p J. Walker might take a chance on my quarterback
Speaker 1: just in this this cake matchup. I like PJ. Here.
Speaker 1: Over to the Atlanta side. Uh starting with Fish's uh
Speaker 1: fantasy league mate, Tyler l Gier, you can get him
Speaker 1: a see no one runs. I kind of like him here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: no one runs more than the Falcons, who spent the
Speaker 1: eighth overall pick on Drake London this year and the
Speaker 1: fourth overall pick on Kyle Pitts last year. Makes total sense.
Speaker 1: Arthur Smith. Someone's gonna tell Arthur Smith that Derrick Henry
Speaker 1: isn't on his team anymore. You can't just they're running
Speaker 1: the ball profusely down against the Bengals. Doesn't matter that
Speaker 1: it matters managed fantasy players, but uh a see for Algier.
Speaker 1: The Panthers have allowed four touchdowns are running backs over
Speaker 1: their last three games, So you're gonna start Algier in
Speaker 1: most cases, especially for Tyler Algier. We'll have to ask
Speaker 1: official though, if he's starting himself this week. But uh,
Speaker 1: we'll say you started with the Sea. Gonna give Drake
Speaker 1: London to see. Uh, even though the Falcons Marcus Mariotta
Speaker 1: just aren't allowed to throw basically, but Carolina has about
Speaker 1: the second most catches per game to wide receivers and
Speaker 1: nearly one and seventy yards, So I think that philosophy
Speaker 1: of not throwing the ball has to shift a little
Speaker 1: bit here. So a Sea for Drake London and a
Speaker 1: B for Kyle Pitts. Come on now, Carolina, just stop
Speaker 1: tight end waste and it is the tight end waste
Speaker 1: end in Brian can't wasted right now. Carolina gave up
Speaker 1: six catches for ninety yards to Tampa's tight ends last week.
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, the worst team in the division by the way.
Speaker 1: Arthur Smith six in the first place. Pits had five
Speaker 1: catches for sixty one yards and the most recent meeting
Speaker 1: with the Panthers last season. I'm calling that a floor
Speaker 1: for Pitts in this one. I'm giving him a beat
Speaker 1: running back, but I'm benching Marcus Mariota for very obvious reasons.
Speaker 1: Well unfortunately, yes, he's got the rushing ability. I think
Speaker 1: there's better options p J. Walker, for one, I'd rather
Speaker 1: play p J Walker over Marcus Mariota. I believe the
Speaker 1: number is eighteen and a half passes per game for Mariota.
Speaker 1: You simply can't cobble together thirteen pass attempts last week
Speaker 1: in a game, you get blown out. Talk a little
Speaker 1: bit more about that quarterback situation later. Wink wink. Okay,
Speaker 1: got it, got it, Okay, let's talk about Tennessee taking
Speaker 1: on Houston. Matt Ryan Tannehill has got a bad ankle
Speaker 1: in this one, and the primary thing he does for
Speaker 1: fantasy owners is the occasional rushing touchdown. You take that
Speaker 1: off the board, and now I'm not interested. But if
Speaker 1: that's the primary thing he does, now he's just not
Speaker 1: going to be in line seven rushing touchdowns a year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: not this year though, So he wasn't a walking boot
Speaker 1: at the end of last week. With the ankle injury
Speaker 1: was limited in practice on Thursday. If he can't go,
Speaker 1: Molik Willis gets a start. If he starts, I think
Speaker 1: i'd actually give him a see just on his rushing
Speaker 1: ability alone, but it's likely going to be a very
Speaker 1: hobbled Ryan Tannehill. It's so easy to run against the
Speaker 1: Texans that no one passes their top twelve and every
Speaker 1: statistical category against the pass. So Robert Woods he probably
Speaker 1: would have been the only receiver you'd consider here, but
Speaker 1: he's averaging forty yards per game, has just one score
Speaker 1: on the year, so he's on the bench. So the
Speaker 1: only guy on the Tennessee side that you really want
Speaker 1: to start is Derrick Henry. That I'm gonna give out
Speaker 1: a second Fantasy art Vark here. I assert my art
Speaker 1: Vark dominant once again. The double arms, Yes, the double Ardvark,
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry and thirty carries in his last two games.
Speaker 1: That's ridiculous. Houston is allowing five point three yards per carry.
Speaker 1: That's the fourth most in the league. So a hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty rushing yards is not only within sight, it's
Speaker 1: almost expected to hear reasonable outlook all right on on
Speaker 1: the other side, there's a running back in Houston that
Speaker 1: we kind of like. Damian Piercy's kind of getting near
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry workload twenty and twenty six carries in his
Speaker 1: last two weeks. However, he faces the toughest defense he's
Speaker 1: seen in his young career in the Titans. Tennessee has
Speaker 1: allowed the third fewest rushing yards per game and only
Speaker 1: one rushing score on the season. Two opposing backs. They
Speaker 1: held Jonathan Taylor in check twice. They put Josh Jacobs
Speaker 1: on his worst game of the season. I'll give Pierce
Speaker 1: just to see here, but it's volume Malone. This is
Speaker 1: a tough matchup. It is a tough and I you know,
Speaker 1: nobody loves Damian Pierce more than I do. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: I will acknowledge this is This is probably the toughest
Speaker 1: matchup of his season. I won't try to argue who
Speaker 1: loves Damian Pierce more? But you did trade me the
Speaker 1: third overall pick in a rookie draft and I took Pierce.
Speaker 1: He's on my team, so he who loves them more.
Speaker 1: Here's the funny thing. If you remember the reason I
Speaker 1: made that trade with you, because I had already taken
Speaker 1: Damian Pierce in a rookie draft, and I'm like, I
Speaker 1: don't want to necessarily double up on him. Yeah you do,
Speaker 1: yet I should have doubled up on him. I love
Speaker 1: Damian Davis. Mills was might take a chance on me quarterback.
Speaker 1: He gets a seat. Nico Collins looked like he's gonna
Speaker 1: miss some time with a groin injury, leaving Brandon Cooks
Speaker 1: leading the other two of Chris Moore and Philip Dorsett.
Speaker 1: Cooks gets a solid B grade here. He won't have
Speaker 1: we won't have more or Dorset starting. Though the Titans
Speaker 1: are allowing two yards per game to the wide receiver position.
Speaker 1: Opposing white Outs have already scored on the Titans nine
Speaker 1: times this year, which is the fifth most in the league.
Speaker 1: I hope that was my last nine times of the day,
Speaker 1: but it's like quite a few. I think you find
Speaker 1: ways to work them in. There's just a lot of
Speaker 1: nines in the eighth week of the season. I suppose alright,
Speaker 1: your turn, all right, thank you, it is literally my turn.
Speaker 1: Green Bays taking on Buffalo. I've never said this before
Speaker 1: history of this show twenty eight years. We are benching
Speaker 1: the entire Green Bay passing attack. Led by Aaron Rodgers. Now,
Speaker 1: there have been other times in Aaron Rodgers missed games
Speaker 1: or I've said benjam All, but never with Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 1: in the game. Alan Lazard is going to miss this
Speaker 1: game of the shoulder injury. Romeo Dubs Dobbs coming off
Speaker 1: a zero catch game, and I think he'll get targeted,
Speaker 1: He'll get tired enough here, or maybe you could do something,
Speaker 1: but this is a great past defense and the Packers
Speaker 1: offense couldn't look more broken right now. Your only hope
Speaker 1: for any part of this Packers passing game is garbage time,
Speaker 1: which might end up happening here. But I can't put
Speaker 1: a I can't put a starting grade on any of them.
Speaker 1: A J. Dillon we talked about earlier in this show.
Speaker 1: He's on the bench after a middling season with little production.
Speaker 1: Matt Lafleur finally stopped banging his head against the wall
Speaker 1: and effectively bench Dylan last week. Season lows and snaps,
Speaker 1: carries and targets, and I love it, Dylan. Let's just
Speaker 1: come out and say it. Dylan's been bad. He has
Speaker 1: one finish above RB twenty nine this year, all the
Speaker 1: weeks together, just one. I think that was Week one,
Speaker 1: by the way. That's it. So then let's talk Aaron Jones.
Speaker 1: He's the last Green Bay Packers standing to talk about.
Speaker 1: He's been held under twenty five rushing yards in back
Speaker 1: to back games, and Buffaloes and elite run defense allowing
Speaker 1: the fewest rushing yards just fifty three per game. No
Speaker 1: posing back his top forty seven yards and that was
Speaker 1: way back in the opener. I guess, fortunately, I guess
Speaker 1: he's the team's only good past catcher. I mean, you
Speaker 1: know who else they gonna throw too, So they're gonna
Speaker 1: throw to Aaron Jones some and I think he gets
Speaker 1: another big target target like he had last week. We
Speaker 1: intend targets um just through sheer volume, Jones retains a
Speaker 1: B grade in a very tough matchup. Now let's go
Speaker 1: over to Buffalo Josh Allen Stefon Diggs obvious as every
Speaker 1: week regardless of opponents. You know what, I'll even give
Speaker 1: them as well. A fantasy art Vark. That's the fourth
Speaker 1: and fourth art park this week game because it's mine
Speaker 1: a minute. Are they multiplying? Yeah? We have first half
Speaker 1: like Daddy yard Vark and Mommy ard Vark and then
Speaker 1: they got Daddy yard Vark each other. Very they created
Speaker 1: art parks everywhere. Are we got a lot of Ardvark
Speaker 1: happening around here. A grades Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs.
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis just the B grade here, but let's talk
Speaker 1: it through. He scored. He scored the second most touchdown
Speaker 1: since Week five, but the Packers second here. He's only
Speaker 1: a looted one score in the past three weeks and
Speaker 1: green Bay is held serve and okay, they've given up
Speaker 1: three touchdowns. Green Bay's done it against Taylor Heideke, Zach
Speaker 1: will Sint, Daniel Jones, So you know, not exactly Josh Allen,
Speaker 1: So you know, I don't fear the secondary, but it
Speaker 1: is by the way it lost to all those quarterbacks.
Speaker 1: It did. Still, the Packers have given up an average
Speaker 1: of one d sixty nine receiving yards per game that
Speaker 1: is leased in the league. What's more, the only receivers
Speaker 1: to break seventy yards against Green Bay were targeted seven
Speaker 1: or more times. Gabe Davis has not had a single
Speaker 1: game this year with seven targets. So that's why just
Speaker 1: the B grade on Gabe Davis. In this game, We're
Speaker 1: gonna bench Isaiah Mackenzie and Khalil Shaquier Packers cornerback Rasul Douglas,
Speaker 1: the slot cornerback where they run from is Pro Football
Speaker 1: focuses number one ranked slot corner and coverage. Douglas has
Speaker 1: stonewalled his opponents, giving up seventeen yards per game. That's it,
Speaker 1: and he is not allowed to touchdown this year at all.
Speaker 1: That resigning in the off season looks brilliant. So far,
Speaker 1: Green Bay has allowed the sixth fewest fantasy points to
Speaker 1: the slot and so far this season. So Mackenzie and
Speaker 1: Shakier are on the bench, so is Dawson Knox. Through
Speaker 1: six games, tight end Knocks does not have a game
Speaker 1: with more than four catches or forty five receiving yards.
Speaker 1: And even worse news, it doesn't appear that either of
Speaker 1: those two are gonna happen this week against the Packers,
Speaker 1: who have allowed the third fewest receptions and the second
Speaker 1: fewest yards to tight ends this season. And that just
Speaker 1: leaves us with Devin Singletary. I think this is a
Speaker 1: really nice sneaky play, particularly in DFS formats. Green Bay
Speaker 1: is allowing the fifth most total yards one fifty per
Speaker 1: game to opposing running backs and are far more susceptible
Speaker 1: to the run than the past. Now here's the thing
Speaker 1: you got to consider and put this in your own mind.
Speaker 1: In close games against Miami Baltimore in Kansas City, Devons
Speaker 1: Singletary saw of the snaps in total yards, those are
Speaker 1: great numbers. But in the blowouts he rides pine, they
Speaker 1: save him up. His snaps dropped by a third and
Speaker 1: his yardage falls in half. So do you think this
Speaker 1: is a close game for Buffalo against green Bay or
Speaker 1: do you think it's a blowout. If you think green
Speaker 1: Bay hangs close, Devons Singletary is worthy of the be great.
Speaker 1: I'm giving him And if you don't, if you think
Speaker 1: it's a blowout, then lower him to a C grade
Speaker 1: on your own. It's eleven and a half point spread
Speaker 1: right now. The Packers are in a three game losing
Speaker 1: streak against long competition. Yea, this thing could end up
Speaker 1: being a blowout. I think I heard this is the
Speaker 1: first time in Aaron Rodgers career undergog unbelievable that you
Speaker 1: can play whatever fifteen years and not be a double
Speaker 1: digit underdog at any time. Unbelievable When we come back,
Speaker 1: premature speculation, Oh we all we got a bunch of
Speaker 1: great players for you to pick up, speculative players to
Speaker 1: pick up now that other people will be trying to
Speaker 1: pick up next week and they're already on your team.
Speaker 1: Premature speculation returns when we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly.
Speaker 1: Welcome back, final segment Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Charchi and
Speaker 1: Matt Harrison and Brian Johnson with you. This is a
Speaker 1: segment we like to call premature speculation. We jump into
Speaker 1: our time machine and we tell you the guys people
Speaker 1: are gonna be trying to pick up next week. Did
Speaker 1: the time machine change again? I don't know. It's pretty
Speaker 1: than this one. First by this one actually faith out
Speaker 1: like a real time machine would, because sound just doesn't
Speaker 1: stop like that. Yeah, oh I love it. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: love this new time machine. Well done, my man, Matt.
Speaker 1: Who's your premature speculation player? I've got Desmond Ritter And yes,
Speaker 1: we just talked about it. Atlanta three and four, currently
Speaker 1: leading the NFC South. But being realistic, the Falcons have
Speaker 1: to know that they are not a Super Bowl contending team,
Speaker 1: and with the five or so quarterbacks that are grading
Speaker 1: out as first round talents next year, they have to
Speaker 1: do their due diligence and see what they have with
Speaker 1: Desmond Reridd Marcus Mariota's last four games in passing yards
Speaker 1: one nine, one four. He's only running his way out
Speaker 1: of this. And the Falcons played Carolina this week. The
Speaker 1: Panthers have a very good defense and not much else
Speaker 1: to speak of. If Carolina beats Atlanta, we already talked
Speaker 1: about it. Carolina is in first, the quarterback chatter will
Speaker 1: start because it's just a horrible division and they're gonna
Speaker 1: need to figure something out. Next week it's a softer
Speaker 1: landing spot at home against the struggling and injured Chargers defense.
Speaker 1: That's a great place to try him out. Maybe it's
Speaker 1: Desmond Ritter week as soon as next week. Alright, Interesting,
Speaker 1: that's a nice speculative ad in in QB two and
Speaker 1: super Flex League. Absolutely I need more QB two and
Speaker 1: super Flex ads for that. Let's go to Brian Johnson. Yeah,
Speaker 1: another one. Sam Howell. Sam Howell at the Moon from Washington, UH,
Speaker 1: fifth round draft pick out of North Carolina. Some thought
Speaker 1: he could go in the first round before the before
Speaker 1: the draft right last spring, but he he fell, But
Speaker 1: so did every quarterback in that draft. But uh, it's
Speaker 1: this simple. I mean, Washington is three and four, you
Speaker 1: wouldn't think they're out of it yet. But when the
Speaker 1: rest of your division is a combined let's see seventeen
Speaker 1: and three pretty much out of it, Eagles six and oh,
Speaker 1: Giants six and one, Dallas five and two. Strange thing
Speaker 1: is the Commanders are still like in a spot for
Speaker 1: maybe a wild card run. Maybe can a whole division
Speaker 1: make the playoffs? Yeah, it's possible, but it's probably not
Speaker 1: gonna happen. It's it's certainly not gonna happen in the
Speaker 1: NFC South. But anyway, Uh, Carson Wentz might make a
Speaker 1: return from what hand, And I'm I don't want to
Speaker 1: talk about Carson Wentz for ever again. So uh, if
Speaker 1: he comes back, great, but he's he's trash. And Taylor
Speaker 1: Heineke what ever? At some point, Washington, Taylor Henekey just
Speaker 1: beat them, just beat the Packers two touchdown pass. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the Packers, who we've been dumping on all chokes. The
Speaker 1: Packers are awful. Look, the Commanders are awful to Heineke
Speaker 1: is whatever, They're gonna want to take a look at
Speaker 1: Howell at some point. So again, this is a a
Speaker 1: deep super flex play if you're if you're hungry for quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: go grab Sam Howell now will be hallowing at the moon,
Speaker 1: who never ate a vegetable. I think Sam Howell was
Speaker 1: the quarterback coming into the draft who would never eat
Speaker 1: exactly quarterbacks. You had mentioned Malik Willis a couple of
Speaker 1: weeks ago. It's still interested in Malik Willis. Yeah, except
Speaker 1: the Titans are in first place and they have a
Speaker 1: veteran quarterback, and I think they'll probably stick with TANNEHILLO
Speaker 1: my premature speculation player. One of my favorite guys going
Speaker 1: all the way back to the preseason. Snoop Connor, Jacksonville
Speaker 1: running back. Now, granted he's been inactive every game this year,
Speaker 1: but why did they trade James Robinson? Because because Snoop
Speaker 1: is better, they had the better running back. They get
Speaker 1: a free whatever six round draft pick out of James Robinson,
Speaker 1: move him over to the Jets. Snoop Connor is a
Speaker 1: hor body between the tackles, tough yards runner that Travis
Speaker 1: Etn is not, And there's going is not suddenly going
Speaker 1: to turn into a workhorse back that is not who
Speaker 1: he is. Somebody else is going to have to get
Speaker 1: some carries, and it's gonna be I don't want to
Speaker 1: poop on Snoop, but they like Ja. Michael Hasty there too.
Speaker 1: Don't be so hasty, charge I'm I'm I'm still on
Speaker 1: team Snoop. Connor. Now I'll give you another one. It
Speaker 1: is a bonus. It's like when two time machines love
Speaker 1: each other very much. Out of them they create a
Speaker 1: fourth premature speculation, d Ernest Johnson. If you believe the
Speaker 1: many rumors that the Browns, a fairly desperate organization, are
Speaker 1: going to make a move for Kareem Hunt, you want
Speaker 1: the next man up. And we know because every time
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt has missed time, Nick Chubb doesn't suddenly get
Speaker 1: forty carries, Right, Nick Chubb's roll does not change. They
Speaker 1: just give the next guy up the Kareem Hunt role.
Speaker 1: De Ernest Johnson would be next man up that spot.
Speaker 1: That's another guy you could consider. All right, let's get
Speaker 1: on our final set of matchups. San Francisco takes on
Speaker 1: the Rams. Brian. This is a San Francisco offense that
Speaker 1: will be without Deebo Samuel in this game. Yeah, Big
Speaker 1: News Debo is gonna miss this one with that hamstring injury.
Speaker 1: Um Worth noting definitely worth noting. These teams just played
Speaker 1: in Week four and uh, they just rolled the Rams easily.
Speaker 1: But they didn't have Christian McCaffrey then the forty Niners,
Speaker 1: but they guess they didn't need him to say, won
Speaker 1: that game. But anyway, I'm gonna give him McAffrey a B.
Speaker 1: I had to be great on him even when I
Speaker 1: was assuming Deebo might play. But again, Debo is out.
Speaker 1: But McCaffrey just ten opportunities in his debut with the
Speaker 1: forty Niners last week, but that was only two days
Speaker 1: after getting traded. There that was still the most opportunities
Speaker 1: among San Francisco running backs. You have to believe the
Speaker 1: usage will go up against the Rams. What do you
Speaker 1: figure I'm thinking in the like seventeen touch rains for
Speaker 1: Cristin McCanny, something like that. And McCaffrey actually faced the
Speaker 1: Rams in Week six as a Panther right before he
Speaker 1: got traded, and in that game he had a hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty eight compoy yards on twenty touches. I don't
Speaker 1: see why he can't replicate that on on a much
Speaker 1: better team, even though they are missing Deebo Samuel, which
Speaker 1: we've said multiple times, So he's clearly clearly on the bench,
Speaker 1: and I think that only hurts Brandon Ayuk, who I
Speaker 1: had to see grade on assuming Deebo was gonna play.
Speaker 1: But he's not gonna play, So I got I got
Speaker 1: you on the bench because he's just gonna see a
Speaker 1: ton of Jalen Rams. You looked like a doormat to
Speaker 1: start the season, but uh, he's played a lot better.
Speaker 1: And IU just four catches for three seven yards in
Speaker 1: the Week four game. He has topped forty yards and
Speaker 1: just three or four regular season games against the Rams
Speaker 1: in his career, so I would say just look for
Speaker 1: other options. He's not an automatic bench grade, but he's
Speaker 1: gonna be the focal point of the wide receiver group
Speaker 1: for the forty niners. So uh, I'm gonna lean bench
Speaker 1: over the sea for Ayuk and h a see for
Speaker 1: George Kittle. Just two catches for twenty four yards in
Speaker 1: the Week four meeting, The Rams have allowed the fewest
Speaker 1: fantasy points tight ends. Kindle his head big games in
Speaker 1: the past against the Rams, but right now on paper
Speaker 1: it's a tough matchup. But in the tight end ways, lad,
Speaker 1: he can't bench George Kittle. I don't think this week.
Speaker 1: So he does a CEE for him. Now I'm gonna
Speaker 1: bench Jimmy Geno. I had to see great on him
Speaker 1: if Deebo was gonna go. But I like p J. Walker,
Speaker 1: I like I like Linger of the Slinger a lot more.
Speaker 1: I like Sam Slinger. So uh, Jimmy g on the bench,
Speaker 1: Um over to the Rams side. Not a lot to
Speaker 1: love here, Darryl Henderson going to give him a c
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, I'm gonna can I can I give
Speaker 1: you yet another Kiren william that was my guy left.
Speaker 1: We'll start this game starting doesn't start well, we don't
Speaker 1: know they activated him. If I'm gonna predict, how about this,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna back of that up he gets, he will
Speaker 1: end up with more yards than Darrel Henderson. Kyran Williams
Speaker 1: go pick him up to possible. Even if it is Williams,
Speaker 1: it's not a great matchup for either Henderson and cam
Speaker 1: Acres in that Week four game, UH combined for just
Speaker 1: fifty two scoreless combo yards on eighteen touches. Henderson should
Speaker 1: handle most of the backfield toudges. I still think we
Speaker 1: know Acres won't uh. San Francisco's defense is far more
Speaker 1: dinged up than it was a month ago, so I
Speaker 1: think Henderson has startled. But I'm with you on Kyran Williams.
Speaker 1: Definitely go grab him immediately if possible. I don't know
Speaker 1: how how much we'll play this week, but we'll find out.
Speaker 1: That's why they play the games. Uh we do know
Speaker 1: Cooper couple play and he gets an A just gonna
Speaker 1: end it right there. He's he's murdered the forty nine
Speaker 1: about his career and basically anyone he plays. Uh so
Speaker 1: a for cup. Allen Robinson and Van Jefferson should make
Speaker 1: his return from I R as well, but I got
Speaker 1: both on the bench. Robinson saw six targets in the
Speaker 1: Week four game, but it caught just two for seven
Speaker 1: scoreless yards. And now that Van Jefferson makes his return,
Speaker 1: we need to see how this all pans out. But
Speaker 1: by the way, Allen Robinson one of two wide receivers.
Speaker 1: I believe it's justin Jeffers. It's a good wide receiver
Speaker 1: to average at least one and a half end zone
Speaker 1: targets per game. Allen Robins, don't let's not drought him.
Speaker 1: They're just not quality targets because Matt staverags kind of
Speaker 1: washed anyway. Stafford, I'll talk about him real quick. He's
Speaker 1: on the bench field to throw a touchdown on the
Speaker 1: first meeting. Has thrown zero or one touchdowns in every
Speaker 1: game except against Atlanta, who who is awful. We've gone
Speaker 1: through that already. But I have to mention Tyler Higby.
Speaker 1: He's startable with a B. Ten catches seventy three yards
Speaker 1: in the Week four matchup. The forty nine is just
Speaker 1: allowed Travis Kelsey to go for nine six catches and
Speaker 1: ninety eight yards. Higgyby is no Kelsey, but Higbye startable
Speaker 1: in the tight end. Cincinnati takes on Cleveland Matt Cincinnati
Speaker 1: gonna have to learn to live without Jamaar Chase. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's gonna be missing probably a month, maybe more. And
Speaker 1: we already talked about te Higgins and five tough questions.
Speaker 1: Hi will give Higgins in a grade this week, and
Speaker 1: I'll give Tyler Boyd a B grade. Here. The Browns
Speaker 1: secondary is almost as much of a mess as Chase's
Speaker 1: hip is. Denzel Ward is in concussion protocol. He didn't
Speaker 1: practice Thursday. Uh. Greedy Williams made a season debut last week,
Speaker 1: but he missed practice Thursday with an illness and they're
Speaker 1: trying to trade him. He's on the He's on the block. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and Greg Newsome also limited with an oblique injury. This
Speaker 1: game is Monday night, so a lot could change on
Speaker 1: the corner side, but I'll take my chances with Higgins
Speaker 1: and Boyd going up against either injured starting corners or
Speaker 1: backups in Cleveland. Joe Burrow gets an A grade. I
Speaker 1: might as well give him a fantasy ard vark too.
Speaker 1: Why not? Through for four one yards last week. He's
Speaker 1: averaging three thirty four and two scores in career games
Speaker 1: against the Browns. Hayden Hurst is a startable player with
Speaker 1: a C grade two. There's vacated targets with Chase out.
Speaker 1: Hurst saw eight last week, and the Browns have been
Speaker 1: pretty good against the tight end this year, only allowing
Speaker 1: three catches per game on average, but they haven't faced
Speaker 1: a ton of great ones. Joe Mixing he gets an
Speaker 1: A grade. The Browns are allowing one and forty two
Speaker 1: combo yards per game and have already allowed twelve touchdowns
Speaker 1: to the running back position. That's the most in the league.
Speaker 1: Mixing has scored twice in two of his last three
Speaker 1: meetings with Cleveland, hence the A grade. On the Cleveland side,
Speaker 1: it's Nick Chubb and not a lot else. Chubb gets
Speaker 1: a B grade here as since he's a pretty good
Speaker 1: defense against the run, although there have been cracks in
Speaker 1: that wall. In the last few weeks. Alvin Kamara and
Speaker 1: Mark Ingram combined for a hundred and forty five rushing yards.
Speaker 1: The Falcons duo of Tyler Algier and Caleb Huntley managed
Speaker 1: seventy two yards together. That's about what I expect out
Speaker 1: a Chubb this week, seventy plus yards and probably a
Speaker 1: score here, So that's why he gets a B. The
Speaker 1: passing game is on the bench, which is basically just
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette and Amari Cooper. No quarterback to face the
Speaker 1: Bengals has topped the two hundred yard mark in a month.
Speaker 1: No quarterback all season has multiple touchdown passes. They're allowing
Speaker 1: the fourth fewest receptions and the seventh fewest yards to
Speaker 1: wide receivers. And oh, by the way, David and Joku
Speaker 1: is out for the foreseeable future with a high ankle sprain.
Speaker 1: Do you picking up Harris and Briant in a pinch? No? No,
Speaker 1: all right, I can understand that a couple of items
Speaker 1: for you. In our final moments of the show, we
Speaker 1: just dropped Tom Brady at this point, zero or one
Speaker 1: touchdown pass in every game but one this year, Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: this team has scored two touchdowns in the last fourteen
Speaker 1: quarters of play. Let me answer your question with a question.
Speaker 1: In single quarterback leagues, can you not roster a running quarterback?
Speaker 1: Now you have to roster a quarterback who also chips
Speaker 1: in on the ground. You certainly want to, but there
Speaker 1: aren't enough of them to go around. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't have that luxury. There's kind of a lot now well,
Speaker 1: because more and more teare willing to expose their quarterbacks
Speaker 1: to these kinds of so called dangers, even though these
Speaker 1: guys don't get hurt anymore than anybody else does at quarterback.
Speaker 1: This is what's turned around Daniel Jones this season and
Speaker 1: a large part of why the Giants are sitting. It's
Speaker 1: at six and months, so we have we have currently
Speaker 1: eleven quarterbacks over a hundred rushing yards on the air.
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, Justin Fields, Daniel Jones, Jalen Hurts, Kyler Murray
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Marcus Mariota, Gino Smith, Jacoby Brissette, Joe Burrow,
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. There's a lot of quarterbacks who run. We
Speaker 1: just talked about Sam Ellinger, who's coming in this week. Man.
Speaker 1: I think there's a there's a lot of guys who
Speaker 1: moved the ball at their feet and can kind of
Speaker 1: ground your offense. I think, I say, yeah, remember a
Speaker 1: few weeks ago when they had Pittsburgh who was missing
Speaker 1: their top three cornerbacks and Minko Fitzpatrick and they didn't
Speaker 1: do anything. I know, two weeks ago, Mike Evans dropped
Speaker 1: a long bomb, but on Thursday night, Tom Brady missed
Speaker 1: Mike Evans wide opening the end zone from like the
Speaker 1: five yard line. I don't know, he's he looks disinterested.
Speaker 1: Divorce just became final. I think you can drop him
Speaker 1: and you can just stream quarterback and play the matchups, unless,
Speaker 1: of course, if you don't have like the Josh Allen's
Speaker 1: of the world that you probably don't you have Tom Brady.
Speaker 1: Fantasy points per game, Tom Brady is Fantasy quarterback number fourteen,
Speaker 1: right next to Justin Fields. It's that bad for Tom
Speaker 1: Brady right now in points per game. It's um, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it is it's probably about that time. And I
Speaker 1: don't know the Brady. You know, I'm not saying Brady
Speaker 1: has never gonna have another good game. Sure he's gonna
Speaker 1: have plenty of good games. Tom Brady is eligible for
Speaker 1: take a chance on me quarterback now he is. He
Speaker 1: is an eligible take a chance I mean quarterback. Totally
Speaker 1: agree with that, Tom Brady, And maybe that will happen
Speaker 1: next week. I don't I don't know what they got
Speaker 1: next week. Up top of my head. You can still
Speaker 1: join a guillotine league. It's a super fun way to play.
Speaker 1: All you have to do is not finished last. Every week,
Speaker 1: the low scoring team in that league gets cut, All
Speaker 1: the players go to the waiver wire and pandemonium ensues.
Speaker 1: As we've been on an entire roster of players. New
Speaker 1: leagues forming all the time, even Sunday morning. Guillotine leagues
Speaker 1: dot com. And if you miss a new part of
Speaker 1: the show and you want to hear all my player
Speaker 1: rankings or get to all my player rankings also Guillotine
Speaker 1: leagues dot com. Uh, great job, Thank you very much,
Speaker 1: thank you, Matt, Brian Robbie appreciate all the help. Will
