10
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,560
Speaker 1: of the show, we're gonna break down every game fantasy style.

11
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 1: We offer letter grades for every meaningful player, whole letter

12
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: grades like hey, and be and sometimes see. You may

13
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: remember such letter grades as hey. We also give you

14
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: our rationale for every grade. You can decide if you

15
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: agree or not pivot against us or with us. Up

16
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 1: to you. Later on, we'll also answer three tough questions.

17
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: We'll give you nine players upon whom you can take

18
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: a chance, and we will jump into our time machine

19
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: to identify the players. People will be trying to pick

20
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: up on the waiver wire next week, but blamo, they're

21
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 1: already on your team because you got them this week.

22
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: That's the time machine. Is the the official time machine

23
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: sound not we need a sounder, We need the time

24
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: machine sounder, just isolated Blamo, maybe a Blamo or something

25
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: that sounds more like a time machine than Blamo. Got it.

26
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: I think either of those options would work very very well. Thanks.

27
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: Random sort of computer ish noises happening in the background, right, yeah,

28
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: what does um? Uh? Doctor Who's a time traveler? Right?

29
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: What is the sound of the doctor who booth thingy

30
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: does it? Don't Blamo by chance? Because I don't Then

31
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 1: it's all I don't know. I've never watched them. Maybe

32
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of wooshing. We need fish for this

33
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: because he could probably he's seen so much doctor Who,

34
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: he could tell you exactly what it's all sounds like.

35
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: We'll dive right into the matchups, will break down every

36
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 1: matchup Fantasy style, beginning with the Bears taking on the

37
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: Raiders in cheery, old, ye old London town. And for

38
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: that we bring in we excuse Matt Harrison, Oh yeah,

39
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: I'll go grab him. Um, we bring in our London correspondent,

40
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:34,119
Speaker 1: Colin mccockney. Colin, welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly. You're hello

41
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: Governor Hi, Colin god Down Bennett, the Chicago Bears and

42
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: Oakland Raiders aren't to smoke to play American football. Okay,

43
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: check your kettle and knob. It's a one o'clock start

44
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: time on the East Coast. Okay, Okay, I think I'm

45
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: not positive what you just said. Now if if you're

46
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: having trouble translating, I am having so, I think he

47
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: involved the kettle somehow happening. It just so happens that

48
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: I'm somewhat fluent in Cockney. What are convenient back in

49
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: middle school? You know I could take I could choose

50
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: to take French, Spanish or Cockney and cock Cockney. So

51
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: I think gets perfect. So I'll be your translator here, outstanding.

52
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: What's Colin just said was the Bears and Raiders are

53
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: playing in London. If you check your watch, it's a

54
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: one pm Eastern time start. Very nice, right, Alrightee, Chase Daniel,

55
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: we will rabbit and talk about mashed potato. We're going

56
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: to talk about Chase Daniel in a later segment, rapid pork. Okay,

57
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: Now onto the running backs. David Montgomery is a clock

58
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: start only Dalvin Babylon Brooke as top sixty odds rushing

59
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: against the blatant right is this? Yeah, you know, I

60
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: think you can actually understand that I got most of

61
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: the Montgomery is a C start. Only Dalvin Cook is

62
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: top sixty yards against the Raiders. Very well done, Cohen.

63
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: Also clock start. The Raiders have allowed the tenth most

64
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: receptions terraposing running backs vontest perfect elone. Colin mccockney helping

65
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: us with this right now. I find it interesting that they,

66
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: you know, they refer to letters of the alphabet using

67
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: like words. So he said a clock starts, which means

68
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: he's starting grade for Toriko. It's one of those just

69
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: things that's different between American English and the Queen's English.

70
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: I mean, many people don't know that, but but I do.

71
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: It's having the middle school active, right, all right. Ellen

72
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: Robinson bumblebee. He has led the Bloody Bears and targets

73
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: every game. The Bleeding Rabbits have allowed duck and dive

74
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: receiver Bobby Moore in each game this year. Ellen Robinson

75
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: is a B start. He has led the Bears and

76
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: targets the Bloody Bears every game the Raiders Bears. The

77
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 1: Raiders have allowed a wide receiver to have allowed a

78
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: wide receiver score in each game this year. It's not

79
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: a perfect translation, but it's not always a wonder one translation.

80
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: And Collins dialect is a little different from from what

81
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 1: I learned. I believe if it turns out that the

82
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 1: NFL ever plays a game in the middle of whatever

83
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: country in Africa where they do the clicks, we got this.

84
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: The show is really, you know, hard as to find

85
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: a guy that took the clicks. Speak that too, Trey

86
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: Burton on your bench. He's only at four targets in

87
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: the present and past body of glue weeks and that's

88
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: not abuff to start to tight end. Only four targets

89
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 1: in each of the past two weeks for Trey Burton,

90
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: he's on your bench. I govern, let's all put the

91
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: bleeding radars on the bench. Blind me. The best have

92
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: as many interceptions is touchdowns. Loud enough said, Yeah, Derek

93
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: car ain't a starter on an average matchup. Okay, that

94
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:52,719
Speaker 1: one you can understand. I think I got them. I

95
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: got the gist. Josh Jacobs riding the bleeding bench now

96
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: running hammer attack his top more than fifty four yards

97
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: on the penny of owned and the Bears have only

98
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: allowed one Bobby More on the hammer and tack position,

99
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: hammer attack, hammer, hammer and tech. Who knew the cockney

100
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 1: translation of running back? Oh, I had no idea hammer

101
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: and tack. Josh Jacobs is on the bench, however, no,

102
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: no hammer and tech has topped fifty four yards on

103
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: the ground and the Bears have only allowed one score

104
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: to the hammer and tech position. He also missed practice

105
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: with a Spanish archer injury. Spanish archer cockney for elbow

106
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: Tyrrelle Williams is an injured foot and several miss practices.

107
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: This bubble and squeak. If he plays will be limited.

108
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 1: Do not stop him at renfron J J. Nelson ain't

109
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: worthy stats. Yeah yeah, you're not starting any other wide

110
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: receivers this bubble and squeak a week. Finally, Darren Wallace,

111
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: Evan and l Robin Hood at footie, He's not playing

112
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: for you. The not tight end his top fall catches

113
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: all feathers against this year against Shack. I'll go gosh,

114
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: this is a surprising one. Darren Waller, even on the bench.

115
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: What what are you talking about? Right? He's awesome? Or

116
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: Robin Hood at football but no tight end has topped

117
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: four catches or thirty three yards against the Bears. All season,

118
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: all your raiders are on the bench. Colin Cockney, nicely done,

119
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: Colin cock you thank you for helping us with that.

120
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: Go get yeah, get Matt, Get Matt Harrison back in here.

121
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: We need somebody who we can we can actually make

122
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: sense of. Thank you for that. Nice that this the

123
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: the London game does not have that early early start

124
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: like sometimes. You probably have one of those hey guys

125
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: in back. Miss um you missed um some banger and

126
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: mash bloody. Uh smelled a little pudding. He left something

127
00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 1: in here, so maybe some he left some behind. Isn't

128
00:07:54,920 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: that Scottish Buffalo taking on the Tennessee Titans. There hope

129
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: that Josh Allen will be available for this one. It

130
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: looks like it's going to come down to potentially game

131
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: time decision as he tries to work his way through

132
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: the concussion protocol. Yeah, you're right. I think it is

133
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: going to be a game time decision, and I think

134
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: the good thing is here is that it's not gonna

135
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: matter too much because I have either Alan or Matt

136
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: Barkley on the bench this week. There's not a lot

137
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: to like here against the Titans. Who have allowed just

138
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 1: about two and sixty passing yards per game but only

139
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: six touchdowns when the team's met Last year, in Week five,

140
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: Alan threw for eighty two yards and he ran for

141
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: a nineteen and a touchdown. I mean this year he's

142
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: surviving on his rushing alone. He has three rushing touchdowns

143
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 1: and his passing has been atrocious. So I think his

144
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: passing has gotten better. Stats haven't followed. Yeah, I just

145
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 1: I see a better I see better pocket presents and

146
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: a I think he's playing better. But with the injury situation,

147
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 1: I think you got to keep him on the bench.

148
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. John Brown, Man, this is a

149
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: tough one too. Hasn't order top seventy two yards since

150
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: that big Week one Tennessee held Odell Beckham to seventy

151
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: one scoreless yards, t Y Hilton to just forty three yards,

152
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: Julio Jones to just fifty two yards. So John Brown,

153
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: to be honest, if Matt Barkley plays, he might he

154
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: may be a better passer than out. Oh no, stop wow,

155
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. Shots fired. I mean he wasn't that

156
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 1: bad last week. Put up a hundred and twenty five

157
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:26,959
Speaker 1: yards in about a quarter last year, I might have

158
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: agreed with you again, I think Josh Allen's got a

159
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: better So I've got John Brown with a with a

160
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: C start here a week see for John Brown. This

161
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: week's a Jones of course, is on your bench. No

162
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: reason to worry about him. Cole Beasley A little interesting here.

163
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: Twenty three targets in the last two weeks, eight catches

164
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: and seven catches. Of course, only forty eight yards and

165
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: seventy five yards, so he's not doing much with him

166
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: and he scored a touchdown in exactly four of his

167
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: last thirty seven NFL games. There's no upside here, but

168
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of a floor if you're if

169
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: you're in a PPR league as a slot receiver, maybe

170
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: you give him sort of a see, you know, take

171
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: a chance on me type desperation, but otherwise he's on

172
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 1: your bench. Tight End Dawson Knox has started to has

173
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,439
Speaker 1: started to emerge a little bit here, has a couple

174
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 1: of nice plays, but still hasn't had more than four

175
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: targets and is only playing six of the offensive snaps.

176
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: Tennessee did give up tight end touchdowns in each of

177
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: the first three weeks, and then Austin Hooper went off

178
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: for nine catches and a hundred and thirty yards against them,

179
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: so you can move the ball here. I'll give Dawson

180
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: Knox a a tentative, a hesitant B start this week.

181
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: For Dawson Knox on the ground, I've got I've got

182
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: both Frank Gore and Devin Singletary on the bench. Singletary

183
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: is questionable. Looks like he's gonna be a game time decision.

184
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: Hasn't played in the last two games. Frank Gore turned

185
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: back the clock hundred and nine yards last week with

186
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: no single Tarry in there. But the Titans haven't let

187
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 1: the led a back top eighty two yards on the ground,

188
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: So they are both on the bench on the other

189
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: side of this massive matchup. All sorts of ben grades here.

190
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: I should know. This game has a total of thirty

191
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 1: eight point five over under, the lowest of the week.

192
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: There's just not gonna be a lot of points scored here.

193
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: The whole passing game is on the bench. Marcus Mariotta

194
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: has been pretty good this year, but Buffalo's past defense

195
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: is elite level at this point. They just telled Tom

196
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: Brady two fifty yards. Like I think it's the best

197
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: past defense in the NFL, and they've just not in

198
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: holding Tom Brady to that game. It was the worst

199
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: quarterback rating in a win of his entire career. Yeah,

200
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: pretty impressive. They're they're for real, so no no reason

201
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: to get Marcus Mariotta in there. A J. Brown and

202
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: Corey Davis both had really good games last week. But

203
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 1: this Buffalo secondaries elite held New England wide receivers to

204
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,679
Speaker 1: eighties six combined yards last week, the only they've had.

205
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: There have been a couple of slot receivers that have

206
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: had moderate success against them, but Tennessee slot guys Adam Humphries,

207
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: he hasn't done much of anything. So A J. Brown

208
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: is the interesting one here. Just twenty eight snaps last week.

209
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,959
Speaker 1: We saw the two touchdowns, which was impressive, but he's

210
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: playing less than Todd J. Sharp, so I can't get

211
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: him in there yet until he's proven that he's going

212
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: to play more. Delaney Walker is on the bench. No

213
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: tight end has topped even forty eight yards against Buffalo,

214
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: and none have scored. That brings us to Derrick Henry.

215
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 1: The Bills have yielded four running back touchdowns in an

216
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 1: average of a hundred and seventeen total yards to opposing backs.

217
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: Henry is going to get a ton of carries here.

218
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: He's probably gonna grind his way to about a hundred yards,

219
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 1: may or may not score a touchdown. So I gave

220
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: him a B grade. It sounds right, Vikings take on

221
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,839
Speaker 1: the Giants. Plenty of weirdness happening with the Vikings here,

222
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: and we'll try to make some sense of it for you.

223
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: But one thing that's not weird Dalvin Cook, who's just good,

224
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: probably not weird at all. He's not weird, um well,

225
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: not that we know of anyway. I mean, maybe privately

226
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 1: he's weird, but that doesn't really affect us so much

227
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 1: here in this game. No running back has topped one

228
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 1: hundred rushing yards against the Giants all year, but that's

229
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 1: in part because teams just passed their way to victory

230
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: against the Giants. But passing doesn't easily to the Vikings.

231
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: Running does, so I think that I believe this is

232
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: still a very bad run defense. Dalvin Cook has topped

233
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: one yards and three or four games, remains the focal

234
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: point of the offense and gets an A grade here.

235
00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: Now we get to the passing game, where it does

236
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 1: certainly get weird. Let's start with stuff on Diggs, who

237
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 1: face squeak wheels. Now there's so it's two squeaky wheels.

238
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 1: So first my at the beginning of the week, I'm like, oh,

239
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: Adam fling squeaky wheel, He's going to get a little

240
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: extra grease. Well turned out he got out squeaked by

241
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: a sizeable margin by Stefon Diggs. Now, moving stuff on

242
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: Diggs down to a C grade because there is a

243
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: non zero chance that Stefon Diggs is inactive and and

244
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: left home, or active and doesn't play, or active and

245
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: doesn't finish the game, either of his volition or the

246
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 1: coaches volition. Imagine if he does something dumb and demonstrative

247
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: on the field, that will be the end of it.

248
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: Right if what if the game plan doesn't come his way?

249
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: What if he doesn't have a target or a reception

250
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: at halftime? I don't know. I can't tell you that

251
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 1: stuff on Diggs comes out of the locker room. That's

252
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 1: when the right So even though this is the worst

253
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 1: pass defense in the NFL, and I including the Dolphins

254
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 1: in that, I can only give stuff on Digs a

255
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: C grade because of the all of the other drama

256
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: that could come with him. In this one, Adam Feeling

257
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 1: gets a B grade. He runs from the left, the right,

258
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: and the slot almost evenly. That means he gets to

259
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: see two of the three worst cornerbacks in the league,

260
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: probably in DeAndre Baker and Generous Jenkins, who were just

261
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: getting destroyed this year. They have allowed the second and

262
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 1: third most yards in coverage this year. Feeling could see

263
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: both of them on a regular basis. Um working out

264
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: of the slot, he'd get Grant Haley, who has been

265
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: abused by Randall Cobb and Cole Beasley already this year.

266
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: So theland gets a beat. Kirk Cousins gets a C.

267
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: I had him at a be originally before the whole

268
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs thing at the beginning of the week, but

269
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: he slums down to a SEEK. I don't know the

270
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: deals with Diggs and the Vikings don't even have really

271
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: a third receiver worth mentioning. Giants have the thirtieth ranked

272
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:01,160
Speaker 1: pass rush twenty nine ranked pass coverage unit. Cousins um

273
00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: has a chance to get a little something done if

274
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: he can just keep digs ampheeling happy and moving on

275
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: the field. Don't you think this is a big week

276
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: for the Vikings. Just to quell all the all the

277
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: fans stuff, They're just gonna chuck the ball. That'd be nice.

278
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: You usually can against the Giants and they don't offer

279
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: a lot of resistance. Let's go to their side of

280
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: the field for this game. We start with Daniel Jones.

281
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: This is his first game against a quality NFL defense,

282
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: and the Vikings I'm calling equality, but it has not

283
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,880
Speaker 1: been an elite past defense. They've given up passing touchdowns

284
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: in every game, including two touchdowns in three of four

285
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: games this year. And while some of that has come

286
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 1: in garbage time, this could be a garbage time game

287
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: for Daniel Jones too. Sterling Shepherd, so CE grade for

288
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, C grade for Sterling Shepherd. Now Golden Tate returns.

289
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: And now here's the weird part of this thing with

290
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: with Tate and Shepherd. Shepherd runs seven percent of his

291
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: plays out of the slot to this point this year,

292
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 1: and over the course of his career, he's primarily been

293
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: a slot receiver. Odell Beckham's on the outside. He was

294
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: in the slot. That's his natural position, and assuming he

295
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: continues to play there, I like him. But well, here

296
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: comes Golden Tate. He's primarily played his career in the slot.

297
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: When the Eagles traded for him with from the Lions

298
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 1: and tried to play him outside, Golden Tate was a disaster.

299
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: He needs to play in the slot. So this thing's

300
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: got some weirdness to it. And I don't know for

301
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: sure this is gonna go, but my assumption is Sterling

302
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 1: Shepherd is gonna get the majority of the work because

303
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: Golden Tate it's his first game back. I don't know

304
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: how big a party is in the game planned as

305
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: he assimilated the whole offense. Is he have his timing

306
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: with the offense a lot of moving parts With Tate

307
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 1: who's on the bench, Sterling Shepherd gets a sea under

308
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,200
Speaker 1: the presumption he stays in the slot. May be sure

309
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 1: to watch this developing star lad Two more guys to

310
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: talk about. One more in the passing game, Evan Ingram.

311
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: He's been fantastic this year. You figure that Tate and

312
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: Shepherd opened up the middle of the field a bit

313
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: for Ingram, although he was great even without those guys.

314
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: The Vikings defense has been lit up by similarly athletic

315
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 1: tight ends Austin Hooper and Darren Waller, who combined for

316
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: twenty two catches and two eleven yards, both of which

317
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: in garbage time. A lot of garbage time for both

318
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,479
Speaker 1: of them. And again garbage time could be in play here,

319
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: do so Evan Ingram gets to be. And lastly, Wayne

320
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: Governman has scored twice last week, much tougher assignment this week,

321
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: just to see grade here. No back other than Aaron

322
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: Jones is cracked seventy yards from scrimmage against Minnesota, and

323
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: only Aaron Jones and then Tariko and have scored on

324
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 1: them this year. Goverman scored twice against Washington last week,

325
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 1: but only managed three and half yards per carry. And

326
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: I find him to be rather pedestrian in totality. Yeah,

327
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: shockingly pedestrians, some would say, everything charged, that's me Available

00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: time to take a chance on me. Nine players not

338
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: normally in your line up, so many of whom are

339
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: available on the waiver wire. I like to remind people

340
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: as a royalty free version of take a chance on me,

341
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: no tipping aloud. When we give you three money sleepers

342
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: at the quarterback, running back and receiver positions, you pay nothing,

343
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: cost you nothing. So what if ABBA just gave us

344
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,959
Speaker 1: permission to use the song came on? You know if

345
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: you're sometime you're touring the Greater Sweden Area and you

346
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: somewhere people to identify members of ABBA, whoever's got a

347
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: controlling interest in the ABBA state, and can get them

348
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 1: to sign some kind of a legally binding deal. So

349
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: we need a Greater Sweden area. Is that well, I

350
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: think it's Norway, and I think Scandinovia. I think the

351
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: Greater Sweden area is actually Sweden, I think. But so

352
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: we need all listeners to tweet at ABBA, which is

353
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: they're verified Twitter hand B B A and say, let

354
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 1: let Fantasy Football Weekly use take a chance on me

355
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: for free. I think they do it. You think so, Yeah,

356
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,679
Speaker 1: I think they should. Um. I mean, if elevators can

357
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 1: play it at no cost, why can't we Maybe we

358
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: could do this segment from an elevator that suddenly we've

359
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: done it. All right, let's get to our take a

360
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,199
Speaker 1: chance on the quarterbacks, beginning with Christian Peterson. Yeah, I'm

361
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,719
Speaker 1: gonna roll this week with Teddy Bridgewater. And it's not

362
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: based in any way, shape or form on what Teddy

363
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,719
Speaker 1: Bridgewater has done for the couple of games. He has

364
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 1: been strictly a caretaker. But this is all about the

365
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 1: matchup this week against the Buccaneers, who are built, absolutely

366
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: built to stop the run, which they can do very

367
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: well and which I will talk about a little bit

368
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: later in the show. But that's all fine and good

369
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: until you consider what it's done to their past defense,

370
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: which is awful. In the last three weeks, they've let

371
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: Jared Goff throw for five seventeen yards. They gave up

372
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty six yards and four total touchdowns

373
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,959
Speaker 1: to Daniel Jones and his NFL debut. Even Cam Newton,

374
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 1: the forgotten Cam Newton, through for three thirty three yards

375
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:37,120
Speaker 1: against them in Week two, while playing on a seriously

376
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: injured foot, really while playing on one foot and one

377
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: ft and one arm tied behind his back to those

378
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 1: So even Teddy Bridgewater can dink and dunk his way

379
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: to some stats this week. I'm confident put him in

380
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: your lineup. All right, Matt, you take a chance to

381
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 1: the quarterback. Going back to the Andy Dalton well worked

382
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: for me in Week one, Let's try it again in

383
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: week five. Dalton put up four hundred yards in that

384
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: Week one matchup three hundred in Week two against suspects

385
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: secondaries and Arizona is exactly that. The Cardinals have allowed

386
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: ten passing touchdowns through four games, with an average of

387
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: two passing yards allowed. Offenses facing the Cards this year

388
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 1: have been treated to the fourth most plays per game.

389
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 1: So that's a lot of opportunity for the Red Rocket.

390
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 1: I am taking Mason Rudolph going up against Baltimore, and

391
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 1: you're probably thinking Baltimore. Why do I want to start

392
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 1: rookie against Baltimore? Well, two reasons. One, Mason Rolph looked

393
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: pretty darn good last week. It was a lot of

394
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: shorter stuff, but he completed I believe is passes. Something

395
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: in that ballpark seems like about it was right in that. Yeah,

396
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: we'll go with that, um and here comes Baltimore. The

397
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: secondary over the last three weeks has allowed three hundred

398
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: forty nine passing yards, three hundred seventy four passing yards,

399
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 1: three hundred forty two passing yards the Ravens. Since when

400
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 1: does that happen? And granted one of those three games

401
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: was Patrick Mahomes, but Kyler Murray was in there. I

402
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: think we've got to stop thinking of the Ravens as

403
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: an elite defense. I think you're right about that. So

404
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph gets back on track with little juju here.

405
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: I think this this week, Jimmy Smith is gonna be

406
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: out another week. I'll imagine that as well. So I

407
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: think Mason rulf gets something done. And it continued fashion here.

408
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 1: Let's go to the running back position. You take a

409
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: chance of the runner Christian. Yeah, let's go with Nahem

410
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: Hines of the Colts in a matchup with the Chiefs

411
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,640
Speaker 1: this week. Hines was dusted off a little bit last week,

412
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 1: six targets, six catches, season high in yards with just

413
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: thirty nine, but at least he was involved, which is

414
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 1: more than you can say for the first several weeks.

415
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: The Colts were playing from behind for the majority of

416
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: that game. They didn't have t Y Hilton. Now Hilton

417
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: could return this week, but they will almost certainly be

418
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: playing from behind again. As ten point underdogs against the

419
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 1: Chiefs in a game with an over under a fifty seven,

420
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: there's gonna be all sorts of points put up here.

421
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: The Colts are going to be in ketch up mode.

422
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 1: They're gonna have garbage time, and they're gonna be dumping

423
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 1: it off to ahem Hines. Yeah, let's mention Marlon max

424
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 1: status for this is very unknown to right and mac

425
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: if if he if he doesn't play, that's a that's

426
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 1: a good sign for Hines because when he does play,

427
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: he stays in and take some of those passing game receptions.

428
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 1: But wil Jordan Wilkins, their backup, doesn't do as much

429
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: of that. Alright, Matt, you take a chance of me

430
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: running back. I've got Alexander Madison of the Vikings. The

431
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: Giants have allowed at least fifty combo yards to two

432
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: separate backs in the same game in three or four

433
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: games this season, and alex Madison has had forty nine

434
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: or more yards in every game where the Vikings were favored.

435
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: Since they are favored again, I can guarantee fifty yards

436
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: in a coin for guaranteed absolutely um. Sony Walkman is

437
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 1: averaging two point eight yards per carre. In two of

438
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,200
Speaker 1: his four games, he's averaged one yard per carry. Advanced

439
00:23:55,200 --> 00:24:00,119
Speaker 1: stats tell us that Sony Walkman has broken zero oh

440
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: tackles this year. He's had sixty two attempts. How do

441
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: you do that? You could break one? I could. I

442
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: honestly think I could. He gave me sixty two chances

443
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 1: to just make a move on one guy. I think

444
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: I could do it. So who is the best running

445
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 1: back for the Patriots? It's Rex Burkhead. He's the best back.

446
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: Sooner or later, Bill Belichicks got to give his best

447
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 1: back the ball. Rex Burkhead averaging nearly five yards per

448
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,920
Speaker 1: carry and he can actually catch a pass, unlike Michelle Washington,

449
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: bottom ten in total yards allowed to running backs. Here

450
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: comes Rex Burkheads. I like to note that he is

451
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 1: questionable again with a foot injury, and that limited him

452
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: highly last week. So that's that's the one caveat. Let's

453
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,399
Speaker 1: go to the wide receiver position, Christian. Yeah, let's go

454
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: with a pretty a pretty deep option here, almost certainly

455
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: available in your league. Utie of the of the Texans

456
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: going going up against the Falcons again in a matchup

457
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,320
Speaker 1: that I'll I'll describe in more detail later on, but

458
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: suffice it to say it's a good one for all

459
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: of the Houston pass catchers. And really the angle here

460
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: is that Kenny starter Kenny Stills was knocked out of

461
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: last last week's game with a hamstring injury. He was

462
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: able to practice a little bit, and he's questionable. He's

463
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,719
Speaker 1: gonna be a game time decision. If Stills does not go,

464
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: then I think Cutie is a really good play here.

465
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: He also plays entirely out of the slot, where he'll

466
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,400
Speaker 1: have great opportunity against the Falcons defense that struggles badly

467
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: in that department. Per Sports Info Solutions, Atlanta is the

468
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: forced fourth worst defense that depends at defending. Sorry, a

469
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: little trouble here speak offending. You're still in cocky. I'm

470
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: pretty sure. Still, I'm still trying to translate, including big

471
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: games two guys like Adam Theeland, Nelson agil or t

472
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: Y Hilton, Corey Davis, all of whom spends some time

473
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: in the slot. So that is your angle here. On

474
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 1: Kiki Cutie also just thirty on Fanball This looking at

475
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,719
Speaker 1: all of these guys play a sturt cheap All right,

476
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 1: let's go to our second to last. Robbie Anderson's my guy.

477
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: The Eagles secondary has been a disaster this year, especially

478
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: to outside receivers Terry McLaren, Julio Jones, Sorry wait, Terry McClaren. Alright,

479
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: Colin mccockney making a surprise, that was Irish guy. Oh sorry,

480
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley and Marvin Jones have each top

481
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 1: two hundred yards and scored against the Eagles. Davante Adams

482
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 1: didn't score, but racked up ten for one eight and

483
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 1: basically a quarter last week against the Eagles. Uh. Anderson

484
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 1: has the slight edge on slotman Jamison Crowder and Luke

485
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: Folks targets receptions in yards since he's filled in for

486
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: Mono Man. So Robbie Anderson is the guy. Okay, um, yeah, no,

487
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: no Sam Donald this week? And correct, are you guys

488
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,680
Speaker 1: interested in having the slot receiver for the quarterback who's

489
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:58,639
Speaker 1: thrown the most touchdowns in the NFL? Nah? Nah, sure

490
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:02,239
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, say okay, good? Yes, how about a guy

491
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 1: who's on the field for two thirds of his team's

492
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: plays from the slots against an incredibly positive matchup. That's

493
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: Zach Pascal. Zach Pascal. He plays for the Colts for starters.

494
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: Let's go there by the way, long standing tradition of

495
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:24,360
Speaker 1: the Colts having French wide receivers. Zach Pascal. No Pierre Garson,

496
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: don't tell him on crief Paris Campbell? What about? What

497
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: about Pierre? To see her? Their quarterback? Right now? All

498
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: uh t Y Hilton's got the quad injury, but should

499
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,400
Speaker 1: play in this game. Paris Campbell's got an abdomen issue.

500
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: May not go in this one. Zach Pascal's gonna line

501
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: up in the slot against Kendall Fuller, who is allowing

502
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 1: a passer rating of one D fifty seven in his coverage.

503
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 1: Do you know where the passer rating system maxes out?

504
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 1: He's one point shy. If maxing it out, that's how

505
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: bad Kendall Fuller is. Zach Pascal or going deep is

506
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 1: your final take a chance on the player. Let's see

507
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: what we can sneak in one not we can't. I

508
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: don't think we can sneak in one quick matchup, but

509
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 1: when we come back we will sneak in many matchups,

510
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: including the Arizona Cardinals taking on the Cincinnati Bengals. You've

511
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: probably heard us talking about the Guillotine League, the hottest

512
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: new format and fantasy sports. The Each week, the low

513
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 1: scoring team gets cut from the league and their entire

514
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 1: roster goes to the waiver wire, so you get these

515
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: crazy waiver wire runs. Mind did last week? I just

516
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 1: picked up Derrick Henry in one of mine, Patrick Mahomes

517
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: and O'Dell from my team went to the waiver wire

518
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: because you got got chopped. Oh oh, which is what

519
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: you say when you get chopped. You don't say anything.

520
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: I don't think. Probably not. You can learn more and

521
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,480

Speaker 1: dot Com powered by fanball dot Com. Got me up. Next,

523
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: we'll break down more matchups. I mentioned Arizona Cardinals Cincinnati Bengals.

524
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: Is this the breakout game for Kyler Murray? Find out

Speaker 1: major podcasting platforms, including the number one destination for podcasts,

532
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: the I Heart Radio app. The Arizona Cardinals take on

533
00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: the Cincinnati Bengals. Matt Cincinnati's offense and defense is in bad,

534
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: bad shape. I want to believe that ki Ler Murray,

535
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: who's been clocking in right and around like quarterback fifteen

536
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: most most weeks so far for fantasy owners, is potentially

537
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: sitting on a bigger game here. What do you think? Yeah,

538
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: we hope. So we've seen a lot of his floor

539
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: and it's been it's been okay. We haven't seen the

540
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,720
Speaker 1: ceiling yet though. Um. The Bengals haven't yet allowed a

541
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: three yard passer, but three of three of the four

542
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: that they faced have thrown from multiple scores. I gotta

543
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: be on Murray. It's closer to an A. It's like

544
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: one of those those grades right in between A B

545
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: and A. There are no are there there's some word

546
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: for a A letter that suddenly is Is there a

547
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: letter between A and b? Uh? Not that I know?

548
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: There is no letter between A and B. H If

549
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: you if I told you Kyler Murray was going to

550
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 1: run for fifty yards? Would would that be enough to

551
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: elevate him from B to A. He has increased his

552
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: rushing attempts in the last two weeks. He's at twelve

553
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: in the last two weeks compared to six in the

554
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: first two weeks, so that's helpful. And B plus fifty yeah,

555
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: he's like B plus fifty yards yep of rushing. I

556
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: would like him to throw to Matt I like him

557
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: to throw to Larry Fitzgerald. He gets an A grade.

558
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk will miss this game. He's tied with Larry

559
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 1: for targets this year with thirty six. The Cards are

560
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: averaging forty two passing attempts per game, so there's a

561
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: lot to filter to fits. Uh demure Bird is still

562
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: out with a hamstring. This means Keishan Johnson is kind

563
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: of a desperation to start start. Four different outside receivers

564
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: have topped seventy five yards against the Bengals this year.

565
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: Three of them have scored, and Keishan is third among

566
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: the Cards wide receivers and targets, so he's the best play.

567
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: Not going andy as a bell or anything silly like that.

568
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: David Johnson gets an A Grade two and the three

569
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 1: full games he's played, he's at least six receptions, plus

570
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 1: the Bengals run defense is allowing almost five yards per

571
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: carry to opposing backs. On the other side, I'm giving

572
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 1: Joe mix In an a He hasn't done a ton

573
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: this year, but it's a get right spot. Mixing at

574
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: home against the Cards Zona has allowed leadbacks Bell cow

575
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 1: backs to go over a hundred and forty five all

576
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: purpose yards, and back to back weeks that was Christian

577
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:14,959
Speaker 1: McCaffrey and Carson uh Mixing backs are better and they

578
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,479
Speaker 1: have offensive lines that are not in tattern. I'm not

579
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: Mixing is the true lead back. He's had thirty attempts

580
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: to g O's four over the last two games. I

581
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: think they're going to try to get him going this week.

582
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: I did mention Andy Dalton as might take a chance

583
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,760
Speaker 1: on me. Quarterback Tyler Boyd, I'm giving an a grade two.

584
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: He leads the team and targets at almost ten per game.

585
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: That number should only go up. With John Ross finding

586
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: his way to i R this week and a great

587
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: stat from Evan Silva, Boyd has run of his routes

588
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: from the slot in the last three weeks, and the

589
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: Cards have given up four touchdowns to slot receivers this year.

590
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 1: Out in Tate does even start worthy. He's a C grade.

591
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: He's the next man up and lad the Bengals and

592
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: receiving yards in each of the last two outings. He's

593
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 1: been targeted sixteen times in the last two weeks, compared

594
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: to Tyler Boyd who only us seventeen. That's one more

595
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: thank you for the math. I'm pretty good at math. Yes,

596
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 1: subtract John Ross's six targets per game. There's some to

597
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: go around there. In Tyler Eiffort, he gets a B grade.

598
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: Every starting tight end to face the Cards this year

599
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,720
Speaker 1: has scored. The worst day for any of them was

600
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: Will dis Ley's seven catches fifty seven yards in a

601
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: school So why not an A because he's Tyler Eiffort

602
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: and he's only playing about half the snaps. But if

603
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: we moved Tyler Eiffort to A, we moved Joe Mixon

604
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: to b um. This isn't a negotiation. Next up, Atlanta

605
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: Falcons taking on the Houston Texans. Matt Ryan has the

606
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: most interception tied for the most interceptions in the NFL.

607
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: Generally not faring well that way, but for fantasy owners,

608
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 1: he's still been pretty good. Christian. Do you like him

609
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: here against the Texans? Yeah? Absolutely. I mean he's thrown

610
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: for over three yards in five straight games. He's behind

611
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: only Patrick Mahomes in passing yards this year. So unless

612
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 1: you're in a league that penalizes pretty heavily for interception,

613
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: then he's doing just fine. And the Texans past defense

614
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: is not great. They did limit Gardner Minshew and Kyle

615
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: Allen two under two and thirty five yards, but the

616
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: better quarterbacks that they faced Drew Brees three seventy yards

617
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,400
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns, Philip Rivers three eighteen and two. So

618
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give Matt Ryan a solid A grade here.

619
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: Julio Jones A strong, a hearty A yes for Julio Jones,

620
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 1: such a whole a could the Texans. He gave up

621
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: big games to Michael Thomas twenty three yards, ted gain

622
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: over a hundred, Keenan Allen a hundred eighty three yards

623
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns. Yeah, Julio Jones is in there. Calvin Ridley,

624
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: what do you think too bad? It's been so bad

625
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 1: in the last couple of games, just seven targets and

626
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,479
Speaker 1: four catches. Meanwhile, Mohammed Sanu has emerged in that same

627
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: span with fifteen catches, So that Daddy Mohammed Sanu or

628
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: baby babies. Okay, But the matchup this week for Ridley

629
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 1: is really good. He figures to face off mostly against

630
00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:01,760
Speaker 1: Jonathan Joseph. Per Sports Info Solutions, Joseph has allowed twenty

631
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 1: one completions, two and fifty one yards and a touchdown

632
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: to wide receivers in his coverage. So I'm gonna give

633
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley a CEE. He's always boom er bust, but

634
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: I think he should start him this week. Mohammed Sanu, man,

635
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: he's one of those slot guys who, again the ceiling

636
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 1: just isn't high. One touchdown in his last fourteen games,

637
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:23,399
Speaker 1: but he has at least five catches and seventy five

638
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,399
Speaker 1: yards and four of his last six games, So again,

639
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:28,240
Speaker 1: in a PPR scenario, you could put him into your lineup.

640
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: Austin Hooper deserves almost just every week a status at

641
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: this kind of second among tight ends and receptions, fourth

642
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: in yards. Houston has been good against the position. They've

643
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,879
Speaker 1: allowed just thirteen catches and ninety five yards to tight ends,

644
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna roll with Hooper here. I've got him

645
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 1: as an A grade Devanta Freeman just three point three

646
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: yards per carry on the year, had a little breakout

647
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 1: last week with those eight receptions, and that's where we

648
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: could see a little bit of I don't know he

649
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 1: could do that again. It's possible against the Texans because

650
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 1: they allow an average of eight point five catches and

651
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: sixty three receiving yards to opposing running backs. Kamara had

652
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 1: seven catches, Austin Ekeler seven, Christian McCaffrey ten. So I

653
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: think that's what you're looking for here out of DeVonta

654
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:18,760
Speaker 1: free minute, hopefully Edo Smith to vulture another short touchdown

655
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,760
Speaker 1: from him. But I gave I gave an A grade

656
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 1: to Freeman, a tepid a freeman on the Texans side.

657
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,880
Speaker 1: All sorts of starters here as well, in a great

658
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:30,160
Speaker 1: matchup for the passing game. To Shawn Watson, He's been

659
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: up and down in the passing game. He has three

660
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns. That's kind of salvaged his his numbers here.

661
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: But at Atlanta has allowed two quarterback rushing scores. Jacoby

662
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: Brissette went over three d yards against them. Marcus Mariota

663
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: through three touchdowns. Watson is an easy a here, as

664
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: is DeAndre Hopkins. He's had a tough stretch, he's got

665
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 1: it has been, Yeah, it's been. It's been rough going

666
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: for his owners, right, yeah, but this is a get

667
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 1: right game here. Atlanta has allowed the second most wide

668
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,839
Speaker 1: receiver touchdowns thus far. Hopkins is an easy starter here

669
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: and Will Fuller's pen so ill every week. I'm like,

670
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 1: great matchupping he are. You're playing out of the cornerbacks

671
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: and he's been He's been close. Last week he just

672
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 1: missed a seven what would have been a seventy five

673
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 1: yard touchdown. It kind of glanced off his fingertips. He

674
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: ranks tenth in air yards, which basically means they're throwing

675
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: the ball to him a lot deep and it just

676
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:22,359
Speaker 1: hasn't connected yet. I think it could happen this week

677
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,560
Speaker 1: against Falcon's number two corner Isaiah Oliver, who has allowed

678
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 1: three touchdowns in his coverage this year. So I've got

679
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 1: a B grade on Will Fuller. Kikiqt Was might take

680
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: a chance on me at tight end Jordan Nakins, I'm

681
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,439
Speaker 1: not chasing that too. Touchdown out first from week three,

682
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: he's on the pine As are both running backs. I

683
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:43,879
Speaker 1: can't trust Carlos Hide or Duke Johnson here. Last week,

684
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Johnson out snapped Hide, but I

685
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: doubled him and catch it in touches sixteen verses eight.

686
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: So I think Hide's going to keep doing that. That's

687
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,800
Speaker 1: why I think Hides pretty safe. Do you really Falcons

688
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: defense has been bad? They have. They gave up the

689
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 1: big game to Dalvin Cooker in Week one. Derrick Henry

690
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,480
Speaker 1: had a big game. But I just I don't know,

691
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 1: I don't I don't see it. I'm worried that Duke

692
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson is playing a little bit more and more

693
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,399
Speaker 1: and more, and then eventually the script is gonna flip

694
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 1: to him. So I've got them both on the belt.

695
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: Even if they both get a fair amount of work,

696
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: Falcon's giving up the fourth most rushing attempts per game,

697
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: there might be enough. Yeah, I mean, I could see

698
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:25,239
Speaker 1: starting starting either one in a in a desperate situation.

699
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: All right, I don't even think you've seen this right,

700
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: Not that I love Carlos Hide. I just think this

701
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: is a bad Falcons defense. That really the Can O'Neil

702
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: injury took the hard right out, Baltimore takes on the

703
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers now last ever, so the Steelers they were

704
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: destroying Andy Dalton, taking years off his life on the

705
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 1: way to an eight sac game, I believe. But the

706
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: Ravens have the number one past blocking line per Pro

707
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 1: Football Focus, So I'm not worried about Lamar Jackson facing

708
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: anything close to the same pressure that Pittsburgh got on

709
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton last week. And prior to facing Alton, the

710
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: Steelers that allowed three hundred six passing yards and two

711
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 1: and a half touchdowns per game. So I like Lamar

712
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 1: Jackson a lot, and he isn't to me an absolute

713
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: A grade player for this week. And I like his

714
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 1: receivers Marquis Brown, and I know there's a temptation to

715
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: give up on him because he had the big splashy

716
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: Week one. Then all he's done since then is beyond

717
00:39:21,080 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 1: the field way more, get targeted more, and not do

718
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,919
Speaker 1: much with it. But I'm not giving up yet. He's

719
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 1: averaged ten targets over his last three games, leading all

720
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: Baltimore receivers, and he gets a very inconsistent Pittsburgh secondary

721
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: that's yielded one hundred eighty six yards per game to receivers.

722
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,959
Speaker 1: That is the eighth most. They've given a five wide

723
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,920
Speaker 1: receiver scores that's the fourth most. So maybe this is

724
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 1: the game we're all clicks together from Marky's brown and

725
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 1: we finally get the payoff for everybody that's been putting

726
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: him in your lineup since week one, like me. That's

727
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: me right there, Miles Boykan is on the bench. I know,

728
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 1: I know he's had some splashes, but he's only getting

729
00:39:57,800 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: snaps on of the play. Mark Andrews off the injury

730
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: report completely, which is great news. The tight end has

731
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,800
Speaker 1: got the most touchdowns and receptions on the team, and

732
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: he's got the second most receiving yards on the team.

733
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 1: Half of his games he's been over one hundred yards

734
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: and he's got the second most touchdowns among all tight ends.

735
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 1: So you know, and will disly just hit the Steelers

736
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: for two scores a couple of weeks ago. Mark Andrews

737
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 1: a grade as well. We look at the running game,

738
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: mark Ingram also gets an A grade. Steelers have allowed

739
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 1: the third most rushing attempts, the six most rushing yards,

740
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: the third most receptions to running backs, and the six

741
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: most receiving yards to running backs. Roll all that together,

742
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 1: and it feels like a great opportunity for mark Ingram,

743
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 1: who has been one of Fantasy Football's best runners. I

744
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:43,880
Speaker 1: was attempted to go with Gus Edwards here because the

745
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 1: Steelers are so bad against running backs, but he just

746
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: doesn't see enough usage. He's averaging just six touches per

747
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 1: game over the last three weeks, and I that's just

748
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: not enough to get it done. Let's go to the

749
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 1: Steelers side. James Conner came off the injury list on Friday.

750
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 1: That's great news. He's coming out the best game of

751
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 1: his year, and he faces a shockingly bad Ravens run defense,

752
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: giving up five point three yards per carry and a

753
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 1: league worst one and a half rushing touchdowns per game.

754
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: The Ravens these aren't your father's Ravens. They really aren't. Um.

755
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,760
Speaker 1: In the two meetings last year, Connor had one great

756
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: game and one terrible game. But I just think this

757
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 1: defense is bad enough that he could have two great

758
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 1: games this year. By the way, have the Ravens been

759
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 1: allowed around long enough for them to be anyone's father's

760
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: Ravens depends? How what about baby Snooze Ravens. Maybe he

761
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 1: could be his baby snooze. Um. Now, you may be

762
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 1: tempted to go with Jalen Samuel and I love how

763
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 1: they used him in the wildcat last week, but that

764
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:49,719
Speaker 1: feels super flukey. And they came out after the game

765
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: and said it was in part because Vance McDonald was

766
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,439
Speaker 1: not in that game. But Vance McDonald's expected to play

767
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 1: in this game, and I think Samuel goes back to

768
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:00,000
Speaker 1: closer to what he was before, when he was average

769
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: jing two touches per game. I mean, that whole wildcat

770
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 1: thing seems like something you can use and then they're

771
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 1: onto it right like the Tony Sperano Dolphins did one

772
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 1: game they shocked the Patriots, and we're never any good

773
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,000
Speaker 1: at it after that. Going back several years now, um

774
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,400
Speaker 1: speaking abounced McDonald, let's just pivot right to there. Uh.

775
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: If he does go and we expect him to go,

776
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,960
Speaker 1: he's startable against a Ravens defense. It's given up an

777
00:42:22,960 --> 00:42:25,520
Speaker 1: eighty two yard and an eighty nine yard game to

778
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,040
Speaker 1: opposing tight ends in the last two weeks. I've got

779
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 1: a C grade on him. Mason Rudolph, their quarterback, was

780
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: my take a chance on me, so I like him

781
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: just fine. And then Deonte Johnson. With Jimmy Smith still out,

782
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:42,400
Speaker 1: Johnson matches up against Smith's back up, the struggling Anthony Avereit.

783
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,360
Speaker 1: He's giving up a quarterback rating of one hundred thirty

784
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:48,880
Speaker 1: six in his coverage. He is very fast, though, and

785
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: Deonta Johnson is very fast, so maybe you can hang

786
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 1: with Johnson speed, so that could be helpful to some

787
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:58,160
Speaker 1: degree anyway. And then there's Jujuice Smith Schuster, whof what

788
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 1: a frustrating season he is having, averaging barely four catches

789
00:43:03,920 --> 00:43:07,520
Speaker 1: per game. He hasn't received double digit targets even one time.

790
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: But the Steelers have to know he's far too good

791
00:43:10,800 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: to just be a decoy here. They've got to start

792
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: feeding Juju. It could happen here is the Ravens are

793
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,360
Speaker 1: getting killed from the slot. Last week, slot wide receiver

794
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:23,600
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry one d sixty seven yards. In week two,

795
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk and Larry Fitzgerald working out of the slot,

796
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 1: both top to one yards against the Ravens mostly working

797
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 1: from the slot. I think this is a back to

798
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 1: normal game for Juju Smith Schuster, and he gets a

799
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: B grade. Who uh yes, guys, guys, guys, guys, um

800
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:51,279
Speaker 1: coming up next we're gonna answer three tough questions. You're

801
00:43:51,320 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 1: listening right now. You get to play along and see

802
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: if you can go three and oh with our panel

803
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,759
Speaker 1: of experts. And these are not your run of the

804
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 1: mill tough questions. These are really to questions that involved

805
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: the sabotage drop. Yes, the sabotage drop to questions, plus

806
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 1: can we play can we play Beastie Boys on the back?

807
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 1: We cannot plays of the way back in. This is

808
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,319
Speaker 1: a royalty free version of three tough questions. You want

809
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: to stay tuned for that and find out what the

810
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 1: sabotage drop is and if you can possibly achieve the

811
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 1: most difficult move and Fantasy football the sabotage drop. Stay tuned.

812
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: It's Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm Paul arch In. My cohorts

813
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:55,280
Speaker 1: are Christian Peterson and Matt Harrison. Boys. It time for

814
00:44:56,320 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 1: three tough questions, and as his tradition, we like to

815
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:04,879
Speaker 1: start with tough question Number one. Frequent listener Tony in Minneapolis,

816
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:08,959
Speaker 1: just sabotage dropped Miles Sanders. Is that a good move?

817
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,799
Speaker 1: Or is he overthinking it? Now? We probably had add

818
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 1: a little context of the sabotage drop. We know that

819
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:18,800
Speaker 1: we're always new listeners to this show. The sabotage drop

820
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:23,399
Speaker 1: is perhaps the most advanced move in fantasy football. Yeah,

821
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:31,799
Speaker 1: we can't stand it. We know you planned it. Would

822
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 1: you guys like to explain the sabotage drop or you

823
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 1: on me? You go ahead, you got it? Okay. The

824
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: sabotage drop is when you drop a big name player,

825
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,439
Speaker 1: not an elite player, but a big name, a name,

826
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:46,720
Speaker 1: recognizable player from your roster who you think other players

827
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 1: other team owners will go get and use only to

828
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 1: their own deficit. That will this player will hurt the

829
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 1: other team that picks him up. Now, the advanced sabotage drop,

830
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:01,880
Speaker 1: you don't do it on a Friday. You don't do

831
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 1: it on a Saturday. You don't do it a Sunday morning,

832
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 1: because teams can just pick that guy up. You. To

833
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: execute properly the sabotage drop, you need to do it

834
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,759
Speaker 1: on like a Monday or a Tuesday, so people have

835
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 1: to use their waiver wire money or their waiver wire

836
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,319
Speaker 1: position to go get that guy. That makes it better. Now,

837
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,439
Speaker 1: in the case of frequent listener Tony in Minneapolis, who

838
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:27,719
Speaker 1: just sabotage drop Miles Sanders, that's a notable player who

839
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 1: other people are probably going to try to go get.

840
00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: So the question to you, good move or is he

841
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: overthinking it by doing the sabotage drop on Miles Sanders.

842
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: Christian I'm gonna say that he's overthinking this one because

843
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:47,920
Speaker 1: we came into the year knowing that Sanders was going

844
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 1: to have to deal with a split backfield with Jordan Howard. Right,

845
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: we knew that was gonna happen. That's what the Eagles

846
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,399
Speaker 1: always do, and of course that's what we saw last

847
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 1: week with Jordan Howard's enormous game where he scored three touchdowns.

848
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:02,280
Speaker 1: He was all over the field. So that's what Tony

849
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:05,120
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis is clearly reacting to. He's given up on

850
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders less than a quarter into his rookie year.

851
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:12,319
Speaker 1: But I am not. I think Sanders is still the

852
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:14,959
Speaker 1: more explosive player. We've seen him make some explosive plays.

853
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: He had a big reception, He's had some big runs,

854
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 1: he had a big kickoff return last week. I mean

855
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,960
Speaker 1: he's still Last week, even when when Howard was going bonker,

856
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 1: Sanders had seventy two yards on six and a half

857
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: yards per carry. So I think there are gonna be

858
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 1: ins and outs here, but I'm still confident that Sanders

859
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:33,680
Speaker 1: is going to be on the right side of this

860
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,160
Speaker 1: time share by the second half of the season, so

861
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:39,399
Speaker 1: I would not drop him. Okay, after the Jets this

862
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 1: week he gets the Vikings, that's bad. The Cowboys, that's bad,

863
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:46,839
Speaker 1: the Bill sli it's okay, the Bears bad. Bye week

864
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 1: that's really, that's really. Those are the four weeks where

865
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard is going to be running up against a brick,

866
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 1: especially that bye week. Patriots bad, then Seahawks not great.

867
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,240
Speaker 1: So you're probably not gonna start him for seven straight weeks.

868
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:03,319
Speaker 1: But starting in week thirteen, he gets Miami, Washington and

869
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:07,839
Speaker 1: the Giants, so that's good. So it's it's a twofold thing.

870
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,399
Speaker 1: If you're four and oh and you're secure it running back,

871
00:48:10,719 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: you hold him for the playoff schedule. If you're not

872
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:16,040
Speaker 1: and you desperately need the roster spot, it's kind of

873
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:18,319
Speaker 1: a savvy move and I don't mind doing it all right,

874
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:20,279
Speaker 1: But the problem is, this is not a This is

875
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: not a four pronged answer. I need a single answer.

876
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 1: Are you advocating for the sabotage drop on Miles Sanders

877
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 1: or not? No? No, uh, you, Matt have cracked the code.

878
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 1: The schedule is brutal and you're gonna have to just

879
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 1: suck it up. But if you want to have a

880
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 1: chance for success in the in the playoffs, the schedule

881
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 1: is too good. Are you gonna talk to me about

882
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 1: Miami Washington and the Giants. That's as easy a run

883
00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 1: as you could possibly get. There's a handful of teams

884
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 1: that have Miami Washington and the Giants in three consecutive weeks,

885
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 1: like all over this season. It's really weird. The Giants,

886
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:54,800
Speaker 1: but they don't play themselves, but they've got a similarly

887
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: easy schedule with two of those three teams. So the

888
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:01,319
Speaker 1: point here is Miles Miles Sanders will get better. Most

889
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:04,919
Speaker 1: rookie running backs get better than the date than week one.

890
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 1: Look at Nick Chubb from last year, couldn't beat all

891
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:09,400
Speaker 1: Carlos Hyde for the beginning part of the season. He

892
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 1: got better as time went on. Now, I do think

893
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: it's a particularly ballsy move, and I love the guts

894
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 1: that it takes to sabotage. Drop Miles Sanders and you

895
00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 1: won't miss him. Won't miss him. Let's add the prong

896
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 1: seven weeks. I'm gonna add the fifth prong. You do

897
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:28,360
Speaker 1: it in a guillotine league. Yeah, that's where you do it. Yeah,

898
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 1: that the guillotine league makes a ton of sense. You

899
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 1: just go get him back later when the team gets cut.

900
00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:35,400
Speaker 1: That would be even better. So the correct answer is

901
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: I think you're overthinking it now, but I still I

902
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 1: love the move. I love it. That sounds two. Tevin

903
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:47,000
Speaker 1: Coleman is expected to make his return this week. Going

904
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:50,800
Speaker 1: forward is Tevin Coleman and RB one and RB two

905
00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 1: flex or bench player. Matt charged, this one was difficult.

906
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:59,760
Speaker 1: Was it injury to my messing cephalon, which helps regulate

907
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:04,800
Speaker 1: by the movement, vision, and hearing. My voluntary motor function gone,

908
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:09,680
Speaker 1: explained the drooling happening right, I got him on the bench.

909
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: CP and I were discussing this in the office today.

910
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:15,680
Speaker 1: Is the opposite of a bell cow a chicken coop,

911
00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:19,839
Speaker 1: because that's what the forty Niners have here, chicken coop

912
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 1: full of runners. But truly this goes back years and

913
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,879
Speaker 1: years and years. These are the new age shannahanigans right here,

914
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 1: just like his old man. You won't know which back

915
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,360
Speaker 1: will be featured in any given week. Brita might be

916
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:34,320
Speaker 1: the best runner on roster. Both he and Raheem Mostert

917
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,080
Speaker 1: can also catch passes. Jeff Wilson has been turning to

918
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:39,120
Speaker 1: the red zone back. This is a mess. He's on

919
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 1: the bench. Christian. I disagree, Matt. I think here, thank you.

920
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 1: I think you're wrong. I have him, I have him

921
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 1: as an RV two and I'll and I'll explain why.

922
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:52,799
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a little bit of a mess right now.

923
00:50:53,360 --> 00:50:56,600
Speaker 1: The backfield is. But the forty Niners gave Tevin Coleman

924
00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: ten million. It's a coop. It's a dirty chicken coop

925
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 1: right now. People running everywhere. You don't know. Yeah, Jeffrey

926
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 1: Wilson's want of alright, So they invested ten million dollars

927
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 1: in Tevin Coleman. He was the Week one starter before

928
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:17,399
Speaker 1: he got knocked out of that game almost immediately. And

929
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:20,200
Speaker 1: it's not going to be a four man backfield. Most

930
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 1: most NFL can't wait till Jerick McKinnon comes back. They

931
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:28,280
Speaker 1: don't go into games with four backs on the active roster,

932
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 1: right So Jeff Wilson, the guy who scored four touchdowns

933
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 1: and the last whatever the first three games, he's probably

934
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:37,080
Speaker 1: not even going to be active. I read I read

935
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 1: an article by a forty Niners beat writer this week

936
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 1: who basically said that that Jeff Wilson is expected to

937
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:47,400
Speaker 1: be inactive, and head coach Kyle Shanahan compared Coleman to

938
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:50,760
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson and basically said, Brita and most dirt aren't

939
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 1: these between the tackles aren't capable of the between the

940
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 1: tackles short yardage role. So Coleman, I think, is going

941
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: to take over that that role. And he's also going

942
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 1: to get ten, twelve fifty in touch of a game.

943
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:02,759
Speaker 1: So I've got him as an RB tow the rest

944
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 1: of the year. The correct answer is flex. Uh. You

945
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,760
Speaker 1: guys have touched on many salient things. The crowded backfield

946
00:52:08,760 --> 00:52:10,440
Speaker 1: I think was the obvious part of it. He's not

947
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 1: very good. Nobody's bothered to mention that, Atlanta, Atlanta, just

948
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:16,880
Speaker 1: let let's let's flex him at least in a crowded backfield.

949
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 1: Not very good. We'll throw him in the flex. They

950
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: let him walk. He wasn't able to carry the Falcons

951
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 1: backfield last year. He's played fifty seven NFL games. Fifty seven,

952
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 1: that's a big sample size. He has to games two.

953
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 1: That's it. Now. The points at which you're gonna be

954
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:35,400
Speaker 1: able to flex him. You're gonna have to get comfortable

955
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 1: that it's a good matchup, and you're gonna have to

956
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:40,879
Speaker 1: get comfortable with his role in a crowded backfield. They're

957
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 1: gonna be a couple of games in which you can

958
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 1: do that, and you're gonna be able to You're going

959
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:45,919
Speaker 1: to be able to start him some of the time.

960
00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 1: The rest of time he's gonna be on the bench.

961
00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 1: He's really somewhere between flex or bench. But I'm going

962
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:52,440
Speaker 1: to give him flex for the benefit of the doubt,

963
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 1: because there are going to be times he's going to

964
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 1: get the ball at the stripe in particular, where I

965
00:52:56,560 --> 00:53:01,799
Speaker 1: think he will have some value. Tough question number three.

966
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 1: Sam Donald's out this week but is expected to play

967
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 1: next week going forward, What grade will he most commonly

968
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 1: get on this show? Will he get an A, A, B,

969
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:19,480
Speaker 1: A C or A bench grade for Sam Donald? Christian So,

970
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 1: I think the easy answer answer here would be that

971
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 1: he's going to get a bench grade. I mean, the

972
00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 1: guy had an ADP of quarterback like six coming into

973
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:29,759
Speaker 1: the year, so nobody was really expecting much out of him. Yeah,

974
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 1: he had a couple of good games toward the end

975
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 1: of his rookie season, but we weren't expecting much. So

976
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 1: initially that's the way I approached this was that, of

977
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 1: course he's a bench guy. But then I looked into

978
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 1: the schedule. Schedule is there's there's that sandwich of those

979
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:48,640
Speaker 1: three teams. Cans, yes, after the after he has Cowboys

980
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 1: this week, then Patriots, Jaguars. Those are just okay, Well, Patriots,

981
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:57,800
Speaker 1: he's obviously on the bench, but then Dolphins, Giants, Redskins, Raiders,

982
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:02,520
Speaker 1: then Bengals, then Dolfins again. So there's a stretch of

983
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 1: six weeks there where he's startable in five of the

984
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,799
Speaker 1: six weeks. But also he's Sam Donald, so he's not

985
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:11,120
Speaker 1: like an A level start in those games. He's more

986
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:13,880
Speaker 1: of like your take a chance on me type guy exactly.

987
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:18,200
Speaker 1: So I gave him a He will most commonly get

988
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 1: a B starting grade from here through the rest. All right,

989
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:23,640
Speaker 1: I did the average and it came out to a

990
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:27,600
Speaker 1: C plus, But I don't even know what that means.

991
00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 1: Your answer is, yeah, he's he's he's a C grade.

992
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 1: The rest of your Christian stole all my thunder um.

993
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:37,799
Speaker 1: The correct answers B. They're gonna be games when there

994
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 1: are going to be a number of games you want.

995
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 1: Right now, you're saying to yourself, even against the Dolphins,

996
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:45,560
Speaker 1: it's still Sam Donald. I can't give him an A. Well,

997
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 1: you you might say that now by the time he's

998
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:52,359
Speaker 1: up and playing that far into the season and as

999
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 1: a number of additional games under his belt, he may

1000
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 1: be a serviceable quarterback in a lot of games. And

1001
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 1: then if he's a middle If he is a middle

1002
00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 1: of the pack quarterback with a game against the Dolphins,

1003
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 1: that's an A grade. If you're a middle of the

1004
00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:07,279
Speaker 1: pack quarterback with a game against the Giants, that's an

1005
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:09,720
Speaker 1: A grade. If you're a middle of the pack quarterback

1006
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: with a game against the Redskins, you've probably got an

1007
00:55:12,040 --> 00:55:14,239
Speaker 1: A grade. I think Sam Donald is going to end

1008
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:17,319
Speaker 1: up being a middle of the pack quarterback. And if

1009
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 1: you net out where he's going to end up over

1010
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 1: the course of all of these grades, once he gets

1011
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:24,719
Speaker 1: past Cowboys, Patriots, and Jaguars, which is a disaster, he's

1012
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:30,319
Speaker 1: going to get a B grade. Moving on, the Patriots

1013
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:35,200
Speaker 1: take on the Washington Redskins. This is a This is

1014
00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:36,880
Speaker 1: a game in which I hope there is a passage

1015
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:40,440
Speaker 1: of the baton from Sony Walkman to Rex Burkhead, might

1016
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:42,879
Speaker 1: take a chance on me running back. Nope, Sony gets

1017
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:45,320
Speaker 1: a B, and I don't care if Michelle hasn't broken

1018
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 1: a tackle all year fantasy football. Two weeks ago, you

1019
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:52,000
Speaker 1: said fantasy football is about opportunity. It is, and the

1020
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 1: Patriots continue to give Michelle the rushing opportunity they have.

1021
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 1: He's only had two fumbles in his entire career. Out

1022
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: of one hundred rushing attempts. This year, he has sixty two. Okay,

1023
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 1: many of those attempts were in games where they were

1024
00:56:05,680 --> 00:56:07,760
Speaker 1: leading by thirty. They're probably gonna be leading by thirty

1025
00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:09,880
Speaker 1: in this game. Again. I know you hate him, but

1026
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:12,239
Speaker 1: he's still worth a B grade. He's because he's going

1027
00:56:12,280 --> 00:56:14,799
Speaker 1: to get fifteen touches in this game. Sony, Michelle's bad

1028
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:17,880
Speaker 1: at football. Great, Hopefully nobody touches him in those touches,

1029
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:20,880
Speaker 1: all right, James White gets a B. Rex Burkhead was

1030
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:23,880
Speaker 1: chart just take a chance on the runner. White resumed

1031
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,200
Speaker 1: his rightful spot as the top pass catching back in

1032
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:28,520
Speaker 1: Week four after missing Week three due to the birth

1033
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:31,840
Speaker 1: of a child. Had ten targets, eight catches fifty seven yards.

1034
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 1: Rex only had the one target last week. He was

1035
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: limited with a foot injury, but has seen more work

1036
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 1: in blowout games so far this year against Pittsburgh, Miami,

1037
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:41,920
Speaker 1: and the Jets. So I like Rex's chances to get

1038
00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:46,360
Speaker 1: some garbage time here. Brady Gordon, Dorset Edelman A grades.

1039
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:49,279
Speaker 1: Washington has allowed three touchdown passes to three or four

1040
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:53,320
Speaker 1: quarterbacks they faced this year. UH. Gordon, Dorset, and Edelman

1041
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:55,720
Speaker 1: over the last two weeks since s Antonio Brown left

1042
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 1: have all had just about the same amount of targets.

1043
00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:01,640
Speaker 1: Perimeter wideouts like DeShawn Jackson and Alshon Jeffrey and Amari

1044
00:57:01,680 --> 00:57:06,080
Speaker 1: Cooper torched Washington earlier this year. UH, and slotbacks. UH

1045
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 1: Washington has allowed four touchdowns to the slot this year,

1046
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 1: So everybody's in a grade in the passing game. On

1047
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 1: the other side, Colt McCoy is the starting quarterback. That

1048
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 1: means everybody is on the bench, including Terry McLaurin, Paul Richards,

1049
00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:23,400
Speaker 1: and Trey Quinn. Vernon Davis Keenham's in a walking boot.

1050
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 1: They don't want to send Haskins to the Wolves. The

1051
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 1: Pats have not allowed a passing touchdown on the year.

1052
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 1: They're only allowing two passing yards per game. No running

1053
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:34,560
Speaker 1: back has scored against the Pats this year either outside

1054
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 1: of Frank Gore is a hundred and nine yards last week.

1055
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:38,840
Speaker 1: The Patriots have not allowed a running back to top

1056
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:41,959
Speaker 1: forty one rushing yards in the previous five games. There's

1057
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 1: nothing here, There's nothing there. If you're Colt McCoy, can

1058
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 1: you just say no? You know what? Pezza Patriots? You

1059
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:52,480
Speaker 1: know what? Do you know? I don't need to start.

1060
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:57,400
Speaker 1: This might be premature, to the premature speculation, but the

1061
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 1: Washington team gets Miami next week, and they're the reason

1062
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:03,320
Speaker 1: why Dwayne Haskins is not starting this week. That's right,

1063
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:05,600
Speaker 1: and you will next If you're Colt McCoy, you're like, whoa,

1064
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 1: what about me? Why can't I get to start next week?

1065
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 1: And let and let Dwayne Haskins get the Patriots this week? Sorry, Colt,

1066
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:15,960

1093
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:56,560
Speaker 1: the hard sorting for you. That's great. Jacksonville takes on

1094
00:59:56,960 --> 01:00:01,680
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers. Christian Um, We're getting tons of tons

1095
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 1: of Leonard four net in our running attack here and

1096
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 1: virtually nothing of anybody else he has of the snaps.

1097
01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 1: That's it's a turn off in today's day and age.

1098
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 1: What do you think about Leonard Fournette this week? Is

1099
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 1: he takes on the Carolina Panthers. Well. I like Leonard

1100
01:00:16,840 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 1: Fournette this week. As he mentioned, he ranked second and

1101
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:21,760
Speaker 1: snaps in the NFL fifth and carries third in rushing

1102
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:26,120
Speaker 1: yards and somewhat surprisingly six in targets among all running backs.

1103
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 1: The only problem is he hasn't scored a touchdown yet,

1104
01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 1: so that's really preventing him from being an elite level

1105
01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 1: fantasy back right now. The matchup here is a good one.

1106
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 1: The Panthers allow a robust four point eight yards per

1107
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:42,560
Speaker 1: carry to opposing running backs. They're still they're still missing

1108
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 1: their Pro Bowl nose tackle, Cowan Short, So four Nett

1109
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:47,760
Speaker 1: is going to be in there the whole time. He's

1110
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 1: gonna be getting lots of handoffs. I've got him as

1111
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 1: an A grade. Let's go to the passing game, which

1112
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:58,120
Speaker 1: isn't great. I've got a lot of bench grades here,

1113
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 1: like the Mississippi stea or or the Mississippi mustache, but

1114
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:10,960
Speaker 1: the Mississippi for Gardner for Gardner Minshoe. The Panthers past

1115
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 1: defense is ridiculously good. So far, They've a lot of

1116
01:01:13,880 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 1: the fewest passing yards in the NFL. No quarterback has

1117
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 1: topped two hundred and eight yards. They've only given up

1118
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:24,800
Speaker 1: five quarterback touchdowns in four games. So Minshoe is Gardner

1119
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:32,080
Speaker 1: chew man man shoe. Yes. The passing game outside of Minshoe,

1120
01:01:32,160 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 1: he's funneling most of it through DJ Shark. He's the

1121
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:38,439
Speaker 1: only guy that we really have to worry about here.

1122
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:41,520
Speaker 1: He's almost established himself as a weekly fantasy starter with

1123
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 1: three touchdowns in four games. The only player that's managed

1124
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:48,439
Speaker 1: to do anything against the Carolina secondary is Chris god

1125
01:01:48,440 --> 01:01:50,360
Speaker 1: when he had ad twenty one yards. But they held

1126
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 1: Robert Woods to seventy, Cooper Cup to forty six, Mike

1127
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 1: Evans to sixty one, DeAndre Hopkins to forty one, So

1128
01:01:57,040 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 1: they're holding down some very good wide receivers. So I've

1129
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:02,680
Speaker 1: got Chark on the bench along with Chris Conley, Indeedy Westbrook,

1130
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:06,240
Speaker 1: James O'Shaughnessy at tight end touchdowns and two James O'Shaughnessy,

1131
01:02:06,520 --> 01:02:08,920
Speaker 1: but just three total catches in those two games. So

1132
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:13,280
Speaker 1: don't chase those touchdowns on the Panthers side. I don't

1133
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:16,800
Speaker 1: love this either, except Kyle Allen and the passing game.

1134
01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:19,959
Speaker 1: I've got to see starting grade on Allen this week

1135
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 1: because the Jaguars passing defense has not been the same

1136
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:26,360
Speaker 1: without Jalen Ramsey this year. They've given up three seventy

1137
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:29,360
Speaker 1: eight and three to Patrick Mahomes, Marcus Mariotta went over

1138
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:33,440
Speaker 1: three hundred yards, Joe freaking Flacco went for three yards

1139
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:36,439
Speaker 1: and three touchdowns. That's what we call a clue. That's

1140
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 1: a clue. So Kyle Allen, I've got to see starting

1141
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:42,160
Speaker 1: grade on in this game. The problem is who's he

1142
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 1: going to throw too, because he's all but stopped throwing

1143
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:48,480
Speaker 1: to d J. Moore, who was targeted twenty four times,

1144
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:52,640
Speaker 1: and Cam Newton's two starts seven targets and Kyle Allen's

1145
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 1: two starts got him on the bench. Curtis Samuel has

1146
01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 1: been targeted fourteen times by Alan, so he seems to

1147
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:02,440
Speaker 1: favor Samuel, but he has just one game over fifty

1148
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:05,680
Speaker 1: three yards on the year and one touchdown, so maybe

1149
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:09,520
Speaker 1: see on Samuel. Kind of a dart throw there. Greg

1150
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 1: Olsen was shut down last week just five yards, still

1151
01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 1: ranks eighth. They're better among fantasy tight ends and targets, receptions, yards,

1152
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 1: and touchdowns with five yard game. Yeah yeah, and uh.

1153
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:22,240
Speaker 1: And the Jaguars have allowed some games to Travis Kelsey

1154
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:24,720
Speaker 1: eighty eight yards, de Laney Walker sixty four yards. So

1155
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 1: let's keep Olson in with a B grade. And that

1156
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:31,160
Speaker 1: brings us to Christian McCaffrey. You're gonna like him. The

1157
01:03:31,200 --> 01:03:33,680
Speaker 1: only problem here he's on pace for four and forty

1158
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:39,960
Speaker 1: four touches. That's pretty ridiculous. That's not going right now.

1159
01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:42,560
Speaker 1: Well you can, I suppose, before he gets knocked out.

1160
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 1: At some point we might be talking about whether or

1161
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 1: not you gotta move him before he something to do that.

1162
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:55,720
Speaker 1: Denver Bronco's take on the Los Angeles Chargers. Let's begin

1163
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:59,720
Speaker 1: with the running game. Because I love Philip Lindsay, just

1164
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:01,920
Speaker 1: don't of him in this week. Chargers give up the

1165
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 1: second fewest receptions, the six fewest receiving yards opposing running backs.

1166
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:07,919
Speaker 1: That's a very big part of Lindsay's game. They haven't

1167
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:09,960
Speaker 1: allowed more than forty four rushing yards to a back

1168
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:14,160
Speaker 1: since the opener. On the bright side, last year against

1169
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:16,320
Speaker 1: the Chargers, he did have a hundred six total yards

1170
01:04:16,320 --> 01:04:18,440
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns in the two meetings, which isn't bad.

1171
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:22,800
Speaker 1: Los Angeles allowing only four receptions and thirty receiving yards

1172
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:24,960
Speaker 1: to running backs this year. So Philip Lindsay just gets

1173
01:04:24,960 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 1: a See, I've got Royce Freeman on the bench. If

1174
01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 1: I'm nervous about Lindsay, who is the better of the

1175
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 1: two backs in every way? You know, I'm really nervous

1176
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 1: about Royce. Dropped the piano, Freeman. He's seen his yards

1177
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:39,960
Speaker 1: per carrey fall each week, bottoming out at a pathetic

1178
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:42,880
Speaker 1: two point seven yards per carrey. He's carrying a piano

1179
01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 1: that usually slow down some things. That's right if he

1180
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 1: does drop the piano. Um, Joe Flaccos on the bench,

1181
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:55,920
Speaker 1: coming off his inexplicable three hundred yard three touchdown explosion

1182
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:58,360
Speaker 1: against the Jaguars, which rich And just mentioned. You have

1183
01:04:58,400 --> 01:05:00,400
Speaker 1: to mention Joe Flacco is on the bench. Yeah, I

1184
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:03,520
Speaker 1: probably not, but it'll help you make sense of where

1185
01:05:03,520 --> 01:05:05,880
Speaker 1: we rank the other guys, including Emmanuel Sanders, who gets

1186
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 1: a C start and that's it. This year he's moved

1187
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:10,960
Speaker 1: from his traditional so this just gets a little confusing.

1188
01:05:10,960 --> 01:05:13,800
Speaker 1: And to spar with me, he's moved this year from

1189
01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:17,560
Speaker 1: his traditional slot position. They've been playing him primarily outside.

1190
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:21,560
Speaker 1: But if that sticks here as the team's best receiver,

1191
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 1: he gets shadow coverage from Casey Hayward and then he's

1192
01:05:24,360 --> 01:05:25,960
Speaker 1: dead and you may as well give him a bench grade.

1193
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:29,160
Speaker 1: But if they move him back to the slot where

1194
01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 1: he traditionally plays, he gets Desmond King, who is yielding

1195
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 1: a massive sixteen yards per catching a perfect one fifty

1196
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:40,840
Speaker 1: eight passer rating. So my hope is that Sanders gets

1197
01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:42,680
Speaker 1: moved inside, they let him run to the slot like

1198
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:46,400
Speaker 1: he has some traditional sea prior seasons, and then I

1199
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:47,960
Speaker 1: think he could have a decent game. That's how we've

1200
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 1: got to see grade on him. You've had a lot

1201
01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:53,040
Speaker 1: of messy slot situations. Yes, we've got a lot of

1202
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 1: messy slots around the league. Courtland Sutton has got the

1203
01:05:57,040 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 1: exact opposite problem. So of Courtland Sutton, if everything the

1204
01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:02,120
Speaker 1: whole olds, he gets Casey Hayward on the outside and

1205
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 1: then he's dead. But if they move, if they don't,

1206
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:07,600
Speaker 1: if he moves, if he can go to the slot,

1207
01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:10,400
Speaker 1: then he would get he would get the other side,

1208
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:13,000
Speaker 1: and then what if they just switch up. It's just

1209
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 1: I gotta see great on both of them, which is

1210
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:17,000
Speaker 1: you're playing it kind of right down the middle of

1211
01:06:17,040 --> 01:06:19,760
Speaker 1: the fairway for both Noah Fan Uh two games ago,

1212
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:23,080
Speaker 1: Houston's anonymous tight ends scored three times against the Chargers.

1213
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:25,440
Speaker 1: Fans is a low volume dart throw and I've got

1214
01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:27,920
Speaker 1: to see grade on him, mostly just because it's it's

1215
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:30,640
Speaker 1: a tough It's tough for UH tight ends right now,

1216
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the other side, the Charger side.

1217
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 1: Both Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler get A grades despite

1218
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:40,280
Speaker 1: probably splitting carries roughly down the middle. Are you a

1219
01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:43,760
Speaker 1: little nervous that Gordon might only get like ten touches?

1220
01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:47,600
Speaker 1: I think it could be like Gordon for ten and

1221
01:06:47,760 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 1: Eckler for like fifteen, But I think they still they

1222
01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 1: still have a chance to be have both get a grades.

1223
01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:56,000
Speaker 1: Here here's and I think Gordon's gonna be better in

1224
01:06:56,040 --> 01:06:58,160
Speaker 1: Touchdown League. I think there's a goal line opportunity had

1225
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:01,439
Speaker 1: Gordon every basically sensus year when he didn't score, he's

1226
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:04,160
Speaker 1: been great, and then Echo would be better in PPR leagues.

1227
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:07,000
Speaker 1: Broncos are now without Bradley Chubb. That doesn't hurt their

1228
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:09,000
Speaker 1: their run game either, and they give up the second

1229
01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:11,280
Speaker 1: most rushing attempts in the third most rushing yards to

1230
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:14,320
Speaker 1: opposing back, so it seems like a great opportunity here.

1231
01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:21,040
Speaker 1: Backups Jamal Williams and rye Quell Armstead both had good games.

1232
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:23,440
Speaker 1: They have so two running backs have been able to

1233
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:27,640
Speaker 1: be fed in prior games against the Broncos. Now they're

1234
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:30,360
Speaker 1: really bad against the run, they're really good against the pass.

1235
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:33,720
Speaker 1: And that's why Philip Rivers really I originally had him

1236
01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 1: at a see I've got him at a tentative B

1237
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:38,640
Speaker 1: right now. There. For all things going on with the

1238
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 1: windless Broncos, it's not their past defense. They're only giving

1239
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:43,680
Speaker 1: up two hundred six passing yards per game only one

1240
01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:47,720
Speaker 1: touchdown per game. That's third and fourth best respectively. Keenan Allen, though,

1241
01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:50,600
Speaker 1: has got a potentially awesome matchup, and I do like

1242
01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:53,280
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen so much. That helps elevate Philip Rivers to

1243
01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:55,040
Speaker 1: a B and let's talk about Keenan Allen, who also

1244
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 1: gets to be The Chargers need to run Allen in

1245
01:07:58,120 --> 01:08:01,640
Speaker 1: the slot throughout the entire game because cornerback Chris Harris

1246
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:03,480
Speaker 1: has been terrific as usual, but he doesn't go to

1247
01:08:03,480 --> 01:08:06,760
Speaker 1: the slot, and that's where Keenan Allen makes his money

1248
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:09,800
Speaker 1: from the slot. And Denver would start Bryce Callahan in

1249
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:13,640
Speaker 1: the slot, or Callahan may not play due to injury,

1250
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:17,639
Speaker 1: so his backup is Kareem Jackson. But Kareem Jackson may

1251
01:08:17,680 --> 01:08:19,679
Speaker 1: not play because he's got a hamstring of his own,

1252
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:23,599
Speaker 1: so Denver may need to start third string utility corner

1253
01:08:23,720 --> 01:08:28,280
Speaker 1: Duke Dawson Jr. In the slot. I prefer Duke Dawson.

1254
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:31,000
Speaker 1: You just made that name out. Duke Dawson has seen

1255
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:34,479
Speaker 1: a total of three passes at the NFL level, So

1256
01:08:34,920 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 1: I think I played Duke Dawson for second Genesis. That's right,

1257
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:41,080
Speaker 1: by the way. Calhan is absolutely out. He's out until Halloween,

1258
01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:43,920
Speaker 1: so he is out. If if you if you really

1259
01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:46,240
Speaker 1: want to drive down on Keenan Allen and nowhere to

1260
01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 1: rank him, you need to follow the backup Kareem Jackson.

1261
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:52,960
Speaker 1: If he is out, Keenan Allen might be the best

1262
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:58,280
Speaker 1: wide receiver start in fantasy football this week. Mike Williams

1263
01:08:58,320 --> 01:09:01,080
Speaker 1: and Travis Benjamin both guys shaping up play game time decisions,

1264
01:09:01,080 --> 01:09:04,960
Speaker 1: and both are candidates recovered from Chris Harris, and we're

1265
01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:07,360
Speaker 1: not starting him. Let's go to our next matchup, which

1266
01:09:07,400 --> 01:09:10,240
Speaker 1: is the New York Jets at the Philadelphia Eagles. We

1267
01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:12,640
Speaker 1: will not have Sam Donald in this game, and that

1268
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:16,120
Speaker 1: obviously has major ramifications because if he gets hit in

1269
01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:21,800
Speaker 1: the spleen, it will explode and he'll die, like literally exact. Uh.

1270
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:26,599
Speaker 1: The Jets also lost collecchi osemile left guard to an

1271
01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 1: injury this week in practice. That's not good for Luke Falk.

1272
01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:32,320
Speaker 1: Philly has allowed a ton of fantasy points to quarterbacks

1273
01:09:32,320 --> 01:09:34,680
Speaker 1: this year, but no one's biting on Luke Falk. This

1274
01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:37,519
Speaker 1: is a bench grade for him. I did mention Robby

1275
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:40,000
Speaker 1: Andersons might take a chance. I mean, Jamison Crowder does

1276
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:43,000
Speaker 1: get a C grade too. Crowder will face thirty two

1277
01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:46,719
Speaker 1: year old slot corner Orlando Scandrick, who has just signed

1278
01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:51,280
Speaker 1: off the street to replace Avonte Maddox. Both Geronimo Allison

1279
01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:53,439
Speaker 1: and Trey Quinn have scored against the Eagles from the

1280
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:56,080
Speaker 1: slot this year, so there's a chance for Crowder. Levian

1281
01:09:56,160 --> 01:09:58,639
Speaker 1: Bell gets to be The Eagles have allowed only forty

1282
01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:00,880
Speaker 1: eight rushing yards per game to the running back position

1283
01:10:01,200 --> 01:10:04,439
Speaker 1: getting bad however, they've given up the seventh most running

1284
01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:07,639
Speaker 1: back receptions per game, including six last week to Aaron

1285
01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:12,040
Speaker 1: Jones and uh Levan's got fourteen receptions from Luke Falk

1286
01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:16,160
Speaker 1: in the two games that he's played with Jordan Howard

1287
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:18,639
Speaker 1: and Miles Sanders on the other side, they're both getting

1288
01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 1: a C grade. The problem is is they're splitting playing

1289
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:24,160
Speaker 1: time pretty much down the middle. Uh Sanders average six

1290
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:26,880
Speaker 1: point five yards per carry on eleven touches last week.

1291
01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:30,080
Speaker 1: That's hardly worth allowing Howard to completely take over this job.

1292
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:32,800
Speaker 1: He was dynamic, so he's still there. The Jets are

1293
01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:35,439
Speaker 1: mediocre matchup, but the bonus might be the grind the

1294
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:38,400
Speaker 1: clock garbage time for the Eagles as double digit favorites.

1295
01:10:39,160 --> 01:10:41,280
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz gets an A grade. Each of the last

1296
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 1: six quarterbacks to face the Jets has had either three

1297
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:48,080
Speaker 1: yards or multiple scores. Alshon Jeffrey gets to be, Nelson

1298
01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:52,599
Speaker 1: Aghilar on the bench, O'Dell, John Brown, Josh Gordon, Philip Dorset.

1299
01:10:52,680 --> 01:10:54,920
Speaker 1: Each top eight yards or scored against the Jets from

1300
01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:57,599
Speaker 1: the outside are only had one target last week when

1301
01:10:57,600 --> 01:10:59,800
Speaker 1: al Shan was on the field, only two receptions for

1302
01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:02,080
Speaker 1: a Evan in the game where al Shan played with

1303
01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:05,000
Speaker 1: him in Week one. Zach ERT's easy a leads the

1304
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:07,120
Speaker 1: team and targets, and all tight ends in the league

1305
01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:10,080
Speaker 1: in red zone targets. Hasn't scored yet this season. He's

1306
01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:14,400
Speaker 1: totally due, though. Um, we're not going to chase Dallas Goddard,

1307
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:16,960
Speaker 1: who did get a touchdown last week. H The Jets

1308
01:11:17,040 --> 01:11:19,880
Speaker 1: have faced a good have not faced a good tight

1309
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 1: end this year, I should say. But Patriots tight end

1310
01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:25,600
Speaker 1: Ryan Izzo had a forty one yard catch against them

1311
01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:28,920
Speaker 1: last week. It's it's not much, but Zach zach Ertz

1312
01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:31,400
Speaker 1: is good. Dallas Goddard we're not playing him yet. No,

1313
01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:33,280
Speaker 1: I don't think we are all right. Let's try to

1314
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:35,200
Speaker 1: zip to our farm. Actually, it's kind of a thorny

1315
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:37,680
Speaker 1: matchup here, Christian, but let's see if we can get

1316
01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:39,920
Speaker 1: through a Tampa Bay taking on the New Orleans Saints.

1317
01:11:40,280 --> 01:11:43,320
Speaker 1: There's Jamis Winston coming off possibly the best game of

1318
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:45,960
Speaker 1: his entire career. What do you think about this Tampa

1319
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:49,479
Speaker 1: Bay passing game in this one. I love it all

1320
01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:51,719
Speaker 1: across the board. I mean, like you said, Jamis Winston.

1321
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:54,559
Speaker 1: The last two games early seven sixty five passing yards

1322
01:11:54,560 --> 01:11:57,439
Speaker 1: and seven touchdowns. The Saints happened to be really bad

1323
01:11:57,479 --> 01:12:02,000
Speaker 1: against opposing quarterbacks, allowing averages of two passing yards per

1324
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:05,479
Speaker 1: game ten quarterback touchdowns in four games. So Winston is

1325
01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:08,240
Speaker 1: an easy a for me in this game. Along with

1326
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:11,360
Speaker 1: his top two receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. I

1327
01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:13,400
Speaker 1: really don't need to say much more about that. Although

1328
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:17,000
Speaker 1: Godwin last week was an interesting situation with that hip

1329
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:19,120
Speaker 1: injury leading up to the game. I had him on

1330
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:21,160
Speaker 1: a on my bench in one of my leagues well,

1331
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:23,080
Speaker 1: and I had no other choice. He had to make

1332
01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:25,479
Speaker 1: a Thursday decision and I put somebody else in not

1333
01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:28,000
Speaker 1: knowing what Godwin status, and he had a potentially tricky

1334
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:30,920
Speaker 1: matchup against a good slock corner Nickel Robie Coleman's and

1335
01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:33,040
Speaker 1: then just crushed him. Yeah, but needless to say, he

1336
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:36,920
Speaker 1: is now in every week easy a territory O. J.

1337
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:39,759
Speaker 1: Howard A little interesting here. I gave him a C grade.

1338
01:12:39,880 --> 01:12:41,600
Speaker 1: He has not been great this year, but in the

1339
01:12:41,640 --> 01:12:43,680
Speaker 1: last two weeks the Saints allowed sixty two and a

1340
01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:47,080
Speaker 1: touchdown to Will dis Lee and then nine yards on

1341
01:12:47,120 --> 01:12:49,960
Speaker 1: seven catches to the Cowboys tight ends. So let's keep

1342
01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:52,719
Speaker 1: him going. But just as a c on the ground

1343
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:56,240
Speaker 1: Peyton Barber and Ronald Jones, this is turning quickly into

1344
01:12:56,800 --> 01:13:00,200
Speaker 1: the Ronald Jones taking over this backfield. He is Pro

1345
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:04,120
Speaker 1: Football Focus is highest graded running back this year. That's crazy,

1346
01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:07,760
Speaker 1: believe it or not. Yeah, thirty five touches the last

1347
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 1: two weeks, including nineteen carries for seventy yards in a

1348
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:12,559
Speaker 1: touchdown last week when he had more than double the

1349
01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:15,479
Speaker 1: touches of Barber, So he is starting to take this over.

1350
01:13:15,560 --> 01:13:19,360
Speaker 1: But the Saints run defense is completely legitimate. They helped

1351
01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:22,679
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley to sixty three yards, Chris Carson to fifty three,

1352
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:26,840
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott to Elliott to thirty five yards, so there

1353
01:13:26,920 --> 01:13:29,120
Speaker 1: might only be seventy or eighty yards to go around,

1354
01:13:29,120 --> 01:13:31,320
Speaker 1: So they're both on your bench. On the Saint side,

1355
01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:33,360
Speaker 1: I had Teddy Bridgewater as might take a chance on

1356
01:13:33,439 --> 01:13:37,080
Speaker 1: me quarterback. Of course, that means Michael Thomas is in

1357
01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:40,679
Speaker 1: as an a level starter. The Bucks secondary has allowed

1358
01:13:40,720 --> 01:13:43,560
Speaker 1: the most reception receptions in the second most yards to

1359
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:46,559
Speaker 1: opposing wide receivers. I'm not going to go any deeper

1360
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:49,439
Speaker 1: than Michael Thomas in the wide receiver. You can't else

1361
01:13:49,439 --> 01:13:52,320
Speaker 1: There's nobody else. Jared Cook might be in play here.

1362
01:13:52,439 --> 01:13:55,680
Speaker 1: The Bucks have yielded the third most tight end receptions

1363
01:13:56,200 --> 01:13:59,080
Speaker 1: and the second most tight end yards. Cook has done

1364
01:13:59,120 --> 01:14:01,560
Speaker 1: nothing this year. How do you even how do you

1365
01:14:01,560 --> 01:14:05,120
Speaker 1: even roster Cook anymore? I'm rostering him in one league,

1366
01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:08,599
Speaker 1: just waiting for Chris Herndon to come back and put

1367
01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:10,240
Speaker 1: it this way. If he can't do it this week

1368
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:12,640
Speaker 1: in one of the best possible matchups for a tight end,

1369
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:14,639
Speaker 1: then he's droppable. But for this week, I think he's

1370
01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:19,160
Speaker 1: a desperation see now, Alvin Kamara here this one. This

1371
01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:22,040
Speaker 1: one is tricky because the Bucks are really really good

1372
01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:24,080
Speaker 1: against the run. As bad as they are against the past,

1373
01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:26,200
Speaker 1: they're great against the run. They've allowed just two point

1374
01:14:26,280 --> 01:14:29,960
Speaker 1: three yards per carry, held Christian McCaffrey to thirty seven yards,

1375
01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:35,240
Speaker 1: se Kwan Barkley to ten yards, Todd Gurley to sixteen yards.

1376
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:38,880
Speaker 1: So this is a tough call for Kamara. I've got

1377
01:14:38,960 --> 01:14:41,040
Speaker 1: him as by the way, look at the running backs

1378
01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:44,639
Speaker 1: they've had to stop each week. Unbelievable, and they're doing

1379
01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:47,040
Speaker 1: they're doing, They're just shutting them down to the point

1380
01:14:47,040 --> 01:14:49,400
Speaker 1: where everybody just throws on them instead, which is why

1381
01:14:49,439 --> 01:14:52,160
Speaker 1: I like Fridgewater here. So I think you're probably depending

1382
01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:55,479
Speaker 1: on some receiving h some success in the receiving game

1383
01:14:55,520 --> 01:14:57,160
Speaker 1: here for Kamara, so I gave him just a B

1384
01:14:57,320 --> 01:15:00,679
Speaker 1: grade this week, which is somewhat stunning for a player

1385
01:15:00,720 --> 01:15:04,400
Speaker 1: of his category, of his caliber. Our final topics are

1386
01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:07,120
Speaker 1: ahead when we provide you with three guys we believe

1387

Speaker 1: segment on the entire show. Each of our hosts will

1397
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:04,559
Speaker 1: provide you a player who we believe will be a

1398
01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:07,760
Speaker 1: hot waiver wire pick up. Next week. Who you will

1399
01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:11,439
Speaker 1: want to grab this week? It is our time machine segment,

1400
01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:14,880
Speaker 1: if you will. Guys, let's start with Christian Peterson. Who

1401
01:16:14,920 --> 01:16:17,920
Speaker 1: you got? I'm gonna go with wide receiver Preston Williams

1402
01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:20,679
Speaker 1: of the Dolphins, who are on a bye this weekend.

1403
01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:24,360
Speaker 1: He's already less than so he's probably available. He currently

1404
01:16:24,479 --> 01:16:27,479
Speaker 1: leads in your league, He currently leads Miami and targets

1405
01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:31,320
Speaker 1: receptions and yards. And he comes off the bye next

1406
01:16:31,320 --> 01:16:34,120
Speaker 1: week to face Washington team who have allowed the most

1407
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:36,840
Speaker 1: wide receiver touchdowns in the NFL. They aren't in the

1408
01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:41,160
Speaker 1: bottom ten in terms of receptions and yards to opposing receivers.

1409
01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:43,519
Speaker 1: My money is on I'm not on the show next week,

1410
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:46,439
Speaker 1: but somebody will probably have Preston Williams as to take

1411
01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:49,559
Speaker 1: a chance on me. It's been don't get him now,

1412
01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:51,240
Speaker 1: as I think it's been done before. As a matter

1413
01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:53,679
Speaker 1: of fact, it's true. All right, Matt, who's your premature

1414
01:16:53,720 --> 01:16:56,679
Speaker 1: speculation player. I got Dwayne Haskins, and here's the deal.

1415
01:16:56,720 --> 01:16:58,960
Speaker 1: It's going to be a disaster for Washington this week.

1416
01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 1: McCoy is gonna play. It's not going to be good. Now.

1417
01:17:01,479 --> 01:17:03,599
Speaker 1: Haskins might end up in the game at some point

1418
01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:06,920
Speaker 1: during this game. But if not, that's even better because

1419
01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:09,280
Speaker 1: next week they can just start him outright against the

1420
01:17:09,320 --> 01:17:14,480
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins. Um. The Fins are allowing three passing touchdowns

1421
01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:17,120
Speaker 1: per game, and if you're relying on Josh Allen or

1422
01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:20,320
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette, they're on by next week. So if you

1423
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:22,439
Speaker 1: have one of those two players, go pick up Dwayne

1424
01:17:22,479 --> 01:17:25,760
Speaker 1: Haskins to replace them. Josh Allen is still only owned

1425
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:29,280
Speaker 1: of leagues and he's got a tough matchup this week. UM,

1426
01:17:29,320 --> 01:17:31,559
Speaker 1: and we recommended not playing him even if he starts

1427
01:17:31,640 --> 01:17:35,240
Speaker 1: this week and then he's on by But so I

1428
01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:37,200
Speaker 1: don't think it needs to be scrambling to go get him,

1429
01:17:37,439 --> 01:17:40,920
Speaker 1: but you should because get this. After the bye week,

1430
01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:44,439
Speaker 1: he gets Miami that ranks dead last in in fantasy

1431
01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:47,640
Speaker 1: points to quarterbacks. Then Josh Allen gets Philadelphia they ran

1432
01:17:48,120 --> 01:17:53,679
Speaker 1: seven in fantasy points to running quarterbacks, Washington ranks Cleveland see,

1433
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:57,680
Speaker 1: and then he gets Miami againty second, it's gonna be

1434
01:17:57,760 --> 01:18:02,680
Speaker 1: like A grades for John Allen in five of the

1435
01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:06,880
Speaker 1: next four the next five weeks, and probably maybe a

1436
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:11,599
Speaker 1: B grade against Cleveland. Go get to Josh Allen. Honorable

1437
01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:13,720
Speaker 1: mention for Chris Herndon, who we've mentioned a lot on

1438
01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:16,040
Speaker 1: this show. We keep mentioning Chris, but he comes back

1439
01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:20,160
Speaker 1: next week. Finally comes dam Darnold back. Herndon might be

1440
01:18:20,200 --> 01:18:22,479
Speaker 1: a top eight tight end the rest of the year.

1441
01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:25,840
Speaker 1: Probably that's fair and there we thought tight end would

1442
01:18:25,880 --> 01:18:28,240
Speaker 1: be a little deeper than last year, and maybe it

1443
01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:30,280
Speaker 1: is a little deeper, but not a lot. A lot

1444
01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:32,760
Speaker 1: of people still struggling with that position. Let's get back

1445
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:35,320
Speaker 1: to some of the games. Indianapolis takes on Kansas City.

1446
01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:37,760
Speaker 1: This is two of the three quarterbacks that have thrown

1447
01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:41,800
Speaker 1: the most passing touchdowns in the NFL. At ten, you

1448
01:18:41,840 --> 01:18:45,000
Speaker 1: would expect Patrick Mahomes to be a top the leaderboard.

1449
01:18:45,040 --> 01:18:47,639
Speaker 1: You would not expect Jacoby Brissette to also be there,

1450
01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:50,000
Speaker 1: but he is. They've both thrown ten touchdowns and Joe

1451
01:18:50,080 --> 01:18:52,840
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissette gets an a grade here, particularly if t

1452
01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:57,400
Speaker 1: Y Hilton plays, which we believe he will. Um Hilton's

1453
01:18:57,400 --> 01:19:01,000
Speaker 1: got a big speed mismatch favor in working in his

1454
01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:04,120
Speaker 1: favor against the iron footed for Shot Breland and char

1455
01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:08,160
Speaker 1: Various Ward. I also like Zack Pascal's matchup against Kendall

1456
01:19:08,200 --> 01:19:10,240
Speaker 1: Fuller in the slot. You're all that together, and this

1457
01:19:10,320 --> 01:19:12,519
Speaker 1: is a an A grade for Jacoby Brissette, t Y

1458
01:19:12,600 --> 01:19:14,640
Speaker 1: Hilton obvious A grade if he ends up going in

1459
01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:18,080
Speaker 1: this one against the Chief's defense. And Zack Pascal, who

1460
01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:19,560
Speaker 1: I mented earlier was might take a chance of me

1461
01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:22,719
Speaker 1: wide receiver. So all of those good players, Zack Pascal,

1462
01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:26,200
Speaker 1: by the way, a C grade. Um. While we're talking

1463
01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:29,840
Speaker 1: about the passing game, Jack Doyle saw a season high

1464
01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:33,639
Speaker 1: fifty seven plays last week. Only Jacoby Brissette has seen

1465
01:19:33,680 --> 01:19:37,880
Speaker 1: more offensive snaps than Jack Doyle's. This Debron keeps dropping

1466
01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:40,760
Speaker 1: the ball. Doyle's taking a spot. Ebron. You can drop

1467
01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:43,920
Speaker 1: Ebron from your fantasy team. He's droppable right now. He has.

1468
01:19:44,080 --> 01:19:46,680
Speaker 1: Speaking of drops, it was three drops last week in

1469
01:19:46,720 --> 01:19:50,200
Speaker 1: one game for Eric Ebron. He's dead. So that's part

1470
01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:52,000
Speaker 1: of another one of the reasons I like Zack Pascal

1471
01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:54,400
Speaker 1: is a sneaky play here. So now let's talk Marlon

1472
01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:56,760
Speaker 1: mcck where things get a little bit thornier. Mac. We

1473
01:19:56,880 --> 01:19:59,000
Speaker 1: hope he can play in this game, but it's no

1474
01:19:59,200 --> 01:20:03,000
Speaker 1: sure thing. Did not practice Wednesday, Thursday, then limited on Friday.

1475
01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:05,960
Speaker 1: But it's such a good match up. The Chiefs are

1476
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:09,599
Speaker 1: allowing the fourth most rushing yards per game and five

1477
01:20:09,760 --> 01:20:14,240
Speaker 1: point eight yards per carry. So if if Marlon Mack

1478
01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:18,080
Speaker 1: can start this game, and he started last week, didn't

1479
01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:21,600
Speaker 1: finish it, hopefully with that ankle, he'll play out the

1480
01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:23,320
Speaker 1: whole game. If you told me he was gonna play

1481
01:20:23,320 --> 01:20:25,400
Speaker 1: the whole game, Marlon Mack would be an A. But

1482
01:20:25,479 --> 01:20:27,519
Speaker 1: as it stands, with the injury and some risk of

1483
01:20:27,520 --> 01:20:29,439
Speaker 1: re injury to the ankle, I've got him sitting on

1484
01:20:29,520 --> 01:20:34,040
Speaker 1: a B. Now, if Marlon Mack is out, Jordan Wilkins

1485
01:20:34,200 --> 01:20:38,679
Speaker 1: becomes an astoundingly good DFS play dirt cheap. You can

1486
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:41,560
Speaker 1: pick him up off the waiver wire. You could. He

1487
01:20:41,560 --> 01:20:43,639
Speaker 1: would get a B grade for me as the soul

1488
01:20:43,800 --> 01:20:47,439
Speaker 1: starting running back, Jordan Wilkins would so absolutely consider him.

1489
01:20:47,479 --> 01:20:49,040
Speaker 1: If Marlon max ruled out of this game and he

1490
01:20:49,160 --> 01:20:51,479
Speaker 1: is a true game time decision, let's go to the

1491
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:56,040
Speaker 1: chief side. Pat Mahomes and Travis Kelsey automatic A grades.

1492
01:20:56,080 --> 01:20:57,640
Speaker 1: We don't even have to spend time on them. But

1493
01:20:57,680 --> 01:21:00,080
Speaker 1: while we're talking about the passing game, let's say with

1494
01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:01,560
Speaker 1: the guys that are a little bit trickier, like mi

1495
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:04,559
Speaker 1: Cole Hardman, who gets a be garnered at least five

1496
01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:07,920
Speaker 1: targets in three straight games, while reaching paydir twice in

1497
01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:10,840
Speaker 1: that span. It hard Hardman's favor is his matchup with

1498
01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:15,439
Speaker 1: rock Yah Sin, ricky cornerback who's yielded two scores. I

1499
01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:17,400
Speaker 1: know it does sound like a made up name, doesn't it,

1500
01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:20,040
Speaker 1: or actually sounds like a guy in Mortal Kombat? You know,

1501
01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:24,120
Speaker 1: true who did you just rip the spine out of door?

1502
01:21:24,400 --> 01:21:27,440
Speaker 1: And then you go to against rock Ya Sin. More importantly,

1503
01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:29,599
Speaker 1: rock your Sin does not have anywhere near the speed

1504
01:21:29,600 --> 01:21:31,360
Speaker 1: to hang with Mikole Hardman, who I like it to

1505
01:21:31,400 --> 01:21:36,200
Speaker 1: be level here. Sammy freaking Watkins. What a bleep and

1506
01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:39,599
Speaker 1: disaster this has been most of you didn't start him

1507
01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:42,920
Speaker 1: in week one and he goes berserk and then with

1508
01:21:43,080 --> 01:21:45,759
Speaker 1: Hill out and for week two forward, we keep thinking

1509
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:48,800
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins and they're throwing to him. He's got he's

1510
01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:52,639
Speaker 1: he's leads the team and targets. It doesn't matter because

1511
01:21:53,000 --> 01:21:57,240
Speaker 1: it never amounts to anything. I've got a C grade

1512
01:21:57,240 --> 01:21:59,280
Speaker 1: on him, and it's a rueful C grade at that.

1513
01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:02,639
Speaker 1: Running from the Lotty Faces, Colts cornerback Kenny Moore, who

1514
01:22:02,680 --> 01:22:05,000
Speaker 1: has not allowed to score in his coverage and the

1515
01:22:05,040 --> 01:22:08,080
Speaker 1: size advantage tips heavily in Watkins favor. He's got four

1516
01:22:08,120 --> 01:22:12,040
Speaker 1: inches and thirty pounds on Kenny Moore, so hopefully this

1517
01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:14,200
Speaker 1: is finally the game to get right. By the way,

1518
01:22:14,400 --> 01:22:18,000
Speaker 1: Watkins downgraded to questionable on Friday, and that the Friday

1519
01:22:18,040 --> 01:22:22,080
Speaker 1: downgrade is never good by the way, so be cautious

1520
01:22:22,080 --> 01:22:24,080
Speaker 1: on that as well. And if he can't go, maybe

1521
01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:27,240
Speaker 1: Hardman and Robinson are maybe that much better. But let's

1522
01:22:27,240 --> 01:22:29,880
Speaker 1: talk about DeMarcus Robinson most commonly will be covered by

1523
01:22:29,880 --> 01:22:34,439
Speaker 1: Pierre to Seer, the best of the Colts cornerbacks, but

1524
01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:38,680
Speaker 1: he's been more beatable this year. He's allowing an eight

1525
01:22:39,240 --> 01:22:41,200
Speaker 1: catch rate and a pass rating of a hundred eight.

1526
01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:43,639
Speaker 1: So Pierre to Seer, who was very good last year,

1527
01:22:44,280 --> 01:22:47,000
Speaker 1: that's I's only gets a winnable matchup for DeMarcus Robinson,

1528
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:50,320
Speaker 1: who gets a C grade. Now, the running game, le

1529
01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:53,000
Speaker 1: Shawn McCoy and Damian Williams are likely to split the

1530
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:56,320
Speaker 1: workload against an Indie run defense allowing five yards per

1531
01:22:56,360 --> 01:22:59,200
Speaker 1: carry in the ninth most rushing yards. McCoy has got

1532
01:22:59,280 --> 01:23:01,240
Speaker 1: this lingering ale injury, so I think he's got a

1533
01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:03,839
Speaker 1: little more danger to him than Damian Williams, who practiced

1534
01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:06,920
Speaker 1: in full every day all week. Williams is off the

1535
01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:09,360
Speaker 1: injury report, as I mentioned, but he was only getting

1536
01:23:09,360 --> 01:23:13,400
Speaker 1: thirteen carries per game when he was up, so this

1537
01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:16,920
Speaker 1: thing is still pretty thorny. I like Williams better for PPR,

1538
01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:20,479
Speaker 1: like McCoy better for touchdowns. But let me note this.

1539
01:23:22,120 --> 01:23:26,720
Speaker 1: They've given McCoy eleven carries from inside the five eleven.

1540
01:23:28,520 --> 01:23:30,280
Speaker 1: How many touchdowns does he have to show for it?

1541
01:23:30,840 --> 01:23:35,080
Speaker 1: Two two on eleven is a terrible conversion rate from

1542
01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:38,080
Speaker 1: inside the five. You should be at six or seven

1543
01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:40,880
Speaker 1: out of eleven, not too so. It could be that

1544
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:43,559
Speaker 1: Andy Reid ends up giving up on Lashawn McCoy at

1545
01:23:43,600 --> 01:23:46,240
Speaker 1: the stripe, So this thing could be a fluid situation.

1546
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:51,760
Speaker 1: Last week, didn't he Uh yeah, so that might be

1547
01:23:52,080 --> 01:23:55,400
Speaker 1: something that bears watching. Let's go to the Cleveland taking

1548
01:23:55,400 --> 01:23:59,040
Speaker 1: on the San Francisco forty Niners. Matt Nick Chubb gets

1549
01:23:59,040 --> 01:24:00,880
Speaker 1: a B grade. The nine or have not surrendered to

1550
01:24:00,960 --> 01:24:03,200
Speaker 1: running back score this year, and Ronald Jones is the

1551
01:24:03,240 --> 01:24:05,559
Speaker 1: only one to top fifty yards this season, but they

1552
01:24:05,600 --> 01:24:08,120
Speaker 1: faced the Bucks and injured Joe Mixon in a confused

1553
01:24:08,120 --> 01:24:10,960
Speaker 1: Steelers backfield in the first three weeks, so just to

1554
01:24:11,080 --> 01:24:14,439
Speaker 1: be there, Baker Mayfield gets to see another great stat

1555
01:24:14,479 --> 01:24:17,559
Speaker 1: from established the runs Evan Silva. The Niners have sacked

1556
01:24:17,600 --> 01:24:20,840
Speaker 1: the quarterback on seven point nine percent of dropbacks, and

1557
01:24:20,920 --> 01:24:24,799
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield's under pressure passer rating according to Pro Football Focus,

1558
01:24:24,880 --> 01:24:29,320
Speaker 1: is forty three point four. That's third worst among qualified passers.

1559
01:24:29,360 --> 01:24:32,800
Speaker 1: So only a C grade for Mayfield here. I am

1560
01:24:32,840 --> 01:24:34,800
Speaker 1: giving an A grade to Odell Beckham, in a B

1561
01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:37,439
Speaker 1: grade to Jarvis Landry if he goes. He's in the

1562
01:24:37,439 --> 01:24:40,040
Speaker 1: concussion protocol though, so he's probably going to be a

1563
01:24:40,120 --> 01:24:43,760
Speaker 1: game time decision. And it's Monday night, so that's not good. UH.

1564
01:24:43,880 --> 01:24:47,000
Speaker 1: Perimeter wideouts have had decent success against the Niners. Chris

1565
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:49,639
Speaker 1: Godwin scored, John Ross had won twelve and a score,

1566
01:24:49,680 --> 01:24:53,120
Speaker 1: Deonte Johnson scored in Week three. UH from the slot,

1567
01:24:53,240 --> 01:24:55,840
Speaker 1: Juju and Tyler Boyd each had success, So there's there's

1568
01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:58,360
Speaker 1: room to go around here for both O'Dell and Landry.

1569
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:00,840
Speaker 1: If they're gonna play, We're not Chase sin Ricky Seals

1570
01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:03,160
Speaker 1: Jones though had the eight two and a score last week,

1571
01:25:03,160 --> 01:25:05,960
Speaker 1: but he only ran fifteen routes. On the other side,

1572
01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:10,160
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, he's he's coming off the super by which

1573
01:25:10,240 --> 01:25:12,639
Speaker 1: is a bye week followed by a Monday night home game.

1574
01:25:12,960 --> 01:25:15,840
Speaker 1: He loved those uh the night. He gets a B grade.

1575
01:25:15,920 --> 01:25:18,120
Speaker 1: The Niners can put up some stats in this game,

1576
01:25:18,160 --> 01:25:19,920
Speaker 1: but there's only two members of the offense that have

1577
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:23,799
Speaker 1: the defined roles. That's Garoppolo and Kittle. Garoppolo who faces

1578
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:27,120
Speaker 1: the Browns defense that has allowed multiple touchdown passes to

1579
01:25:27,200 --> 01:25:29,439
Speaker 1: three or four this year. The only one they didn't

1580
01:25:29,479 --> 01:25:33,439
Speaker 1: was Trevor Simeon. Luke falk Combo. George Kittle gets an

1581
01:25:33,439 --> 01:25:36,320
Speaker 1: a has lost thirty four receiving yards and two touchdowns

1582
01:25:36,320 --> 01:25:40,240
Speaker 1: this season to penalty, according to the Athletics Yards Lost database.

1583
01:25:40,320 --> 01:25:43,000
Speaker 1: Thanks to Nando Dafino for that one. Yeah, hi, Nando,

1584
01:25:43,479 --> 01:25:45,760
Speaker 1: and uh. The Browns have allowed three touchdowns to the

1585
01:25:45,760 --> 01:25:48,320
Speaker 1: tight end this year. The wide receivers and the running

1586
01:25:48,360 --> 01:25:50,599
Speaker 1: backs are all on the bench. For me. Uh, Dante Pettison,

1587
01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:54,040
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel are not getting enough targets. Marquis Goodwin, Kendrick

1588
01:25:54,080 --> 01:25:57,240
Speaker 1: Born and Richie James are splitting time there. That's gross.

1589
01:25:57,560 --> 01:26:01,040
Speaker 1: And Tevin Coleman returns this week. That means Matt Breed

1590
01:26:01,160 --> 01:26:03,920
Speaker 1: and he Mostard are kind of downgraded. The Browns haven't

1591
01:26:03,960 --> 01:26:06,960
Speaker 1: allowed a running back touchdown since Week one. They've faced

1592
01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:09,680
Speaker 1: four Bell cow Ish running backs this season and only

1593
01:26:09,720 --> 01:26:12,840
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry put up good numbers and they got They

1594
01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:15,519
Speaker 1: don't have a Bell cow in San franc They got

1595
01:26:15,520 --> 01:26:18,120
Speaker 1: a chicken coop. They do. I don't understand the whole

1596
01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:20,320
Speaker 1: chicken coup thing yet, to be honest, a whole bunch

1597
01:26:20,360 --> 01:26:23,760
Speaker 1: of chickens jump is the Green Bay Packers and the

1598
01:26:23,880 --> 01:26:27,719
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. Christian Yeah, this one is a little tricky

1599
01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:30,040
Speaker 1: here on the Packers side, especially because we have now

1600
01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:33,080
Speaker 1: learned that Davanta Adams is out of this game, so

1601
01:26:33,560 --> 01:26:35,960
Speaker 1: this is a tough start for Aaron Rodgers. The Dallas

1602
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:38,920
Speaker 1: defense looks good on paper against the past, but they're

1603
01:26:38,920 --> 01:26:41,320
Speaker 1: aided by the fact that they faced Eli man in Case, Keenum,

1604
01:26:41,400 --> 01:26:43,679
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen, and Teddy Bridgeway. So it's tough to really

1605
01:26:43,680 --> 01:26:47,840
Speaker 1: know what to think there. But without Davante Adams, I

1606
01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:50,080
Speaker 1: gotta think you've got a better option than Aaron Rodgers.

1607
01:26:50,200 --> 01:26:51,640
Speaker 1: Was like, maybe one of our take a chance on

1608
01:26:51,680 --> 01:26:54,519
Speaker 1: me quarterbacks. I've got a sea level starting grade on Rogers.

1609
01:26:55,040 --> 01:26:57,920
Speaker 1: Mark Quez Velda's scantling, He's going to have more volume

1610
01:26:58,040 --> 01:27:02,120
Speaker 1: in this game, but Dallas secondary is sneaky good Byron

1611
01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:05,040
Speaker 1: Jones is Pro Football Focus is twenty four ranked coverage

1612
01:27:05,080 --> 01:27:08,599
Speaker 1: corner only two wide receiver touchdowns. They've allowed only one

1613
01:27:08,600 --> 01:27:10,720
Speaker 1: wide receiver has top seventy four yards, So I don't

1614
01:27:10,720 --> 01:27:14,040
Speaker 1: know how you start mvs in this game either. Let's

1615
01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:16,080
Speaker 1: go to Aaron Jones and the running game. Dallas has

1616
01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:18,519
Speaker 1: allowed just three point two yards per carry in their

1617
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:22,120
Speaker 1: last three games, just held Alvin Kamarat eight nine total yards.

1618
01:27:22,920 --> 01:27:25,240
Speaker 1: Of course, jim All Williams is not playing, so that helps.

1619
01:27:25,240 --> 01:27:27,320
Speaker 1: I've got Aaron Jones at a B here on the

1620
01:27:27,320 --> 01:27:29,679
Speaker 1: Cowboys side. I think this is gonna be a huge

1621
01:27:29,800 --> 01:27:34,679
Speaker 1: Ezekiel Elliott game. The Green Bay passing defense is elite

1622
01:27:34,920 --> 01:27:37,679
Speaker 1: this year, and they've been awful against running backs. Dalvin

1623
01:27:37,680 --> 01:27:41,799
Speaker 1: Cook a hundred yards, Broncos backs two hundred and three yards,

1624
01:27:42,560 --> 01:27:44,840
Speaker 1: Eagles backs a d eighty seven yards. This is a

1625
01:27:44,840 --> 01:27:48,040
Speaker 1: big time Ezekiel Elliott game. He's got an A grade.

1626
01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:50,799
Speaker 1: Of course, Dak Prescott is gonna be missing Tyron Smith

1627
01:27:50,960 --> 01:27:52,800
Speaker 1: after he went out with an injury last week. The

1628
01:27:53,280 --> 01:27:57,080
Speaker 1: seven snaps, he was pressured on four of them, so

1629
01:27:57,120 --> 01:27:59,120
Speaker 1: this is a tricky one for the passing game. I've

1630
01:27:59,120 --> 01:28:03,080
Speaker 1: got a B level grade on Prescott. Let's go to

1631
01:28:03,080 --> 01:28:05,519
Speaker 1: a Marie Cooper just to be on him as well.

1632
01:28:05,600 --> 01:28:07,920
Speaker 1: He was held in check last week. The glimmer of

1633
01:28:07,960 --> 01:28:10,719
Speaker 1: hope here is that all four of Cooper's one hundred

1634
01:28:10,800 --> 01:28:13,920
Speaker 1: yard games have been at home since he joined the Cowboys,

1635
01:28:13,920 --> 01:28:17,040
Speaker 1: along with nine of US eleven touchdowns. I'm not digging

1636
01:28:17,080 --> 01:28:20,559
Speaker 1: deep enough for Michael Gallup or anybody else passing. Michael

1637
01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:22,880
Speaker 1: Gallup was great in those two games he played before

1638
01:28:22,880 --> 01:28:24,400
Speaker 1: the inch, I know, but there's just not a lot

1639
01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:30,120
Speaker 1: to go around here against previous hundred and fifteen yards

1640
01:28:30,160 --> 01:28:32,960
Speaker 1: per game two opposing wide receivers, so there's not enough

1641
01:28:32,960 --> 01:28:34,880
Speaker 1: here for Gallop. I like them too, but not in

1642
01:28:34,920 --> 01:28:37,240
Speaker 1: this game. I want to thank JR. Alexandro of his

1643
01:28:37,280 --> 01:28:40,720
Speaker 1: handsful to Marie Cooper, and that's maybe better match of

1644
01:28:40,800 --> 01:28:43,160
Speaker 1: Kevin King. Maybe is on my guy, Michael Gallup. I

1645
01:28:43,200 --> 01:28:45,439
Speaker 1: love Michael Gallup. Just maybe you right, Maybe this isn't
