Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio.

00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio,

3
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice.

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: Now along with the guys from fanball dot com, here's

5
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: the host for Fantasy Football Weekly. It is time for

6
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: America's longest running fantasy show, Fantasy Football Weekly. I am

7
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: your host, Paul Charchie, and my co host today are

8
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: Scott Fish and Matt Harrison. Hello, gentlemen, what's going on

9
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: charge you? Gad? It's Fantasy Football Weekly? Gad is I

10
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,280
Speaker 1: don't know? Okay. Over the course of today, we're gonna

11
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: break down every game fantasy style like we like to do.

12
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 1: You get letter grades on all your fantasy players, and

13
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 1: we'll explain the rationale behind each letter grades. You can

14
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 1: decide if we're right or for wrong and make your

15
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: own decisions. We will also answer three tough questions. We'll

16
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: give you nine players upon whom you can take a chance,

17
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: and we will jump into our time machine and identify

18
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: the players. Everybody will be looking to pick up off

19
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: the waiver wire next week, but they will already be

20
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: on your squad. Pamo, I can't find my time machine

21
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: sound bite. Where did there we go? Yes, that must

22
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: have happened last week when I was gone. Yes that

23
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: we invented a time machine. We have we upgraded from

24
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: the flamm Do that super sophisticated sound right there? We've

25
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: done nothing good with that time machine yet, that's probably true. Um,

26
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: let's jump right into the matchups, beginning with Arizona taking

27
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: on New Orleans Chase Edmonds coming up the Big three

28
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 1: touchdown game. We don't believe David Johnson's going to go,

29
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: but this is a much much tougher matchup for Chase

30
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: Edmonds this week, Matt. Yeah, when your team signs Alfred

31
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: Morris and Zack Center in the same day, it spells

32
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: trouble for your running back depth. So it looks like

33
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: David Johnson's probably going to be out at least this week,

34
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: if not for a while. Um. After DJ hit the bench,

35
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: uh after only three plays last week with knee, ankle,

36
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: and back injuries. Chase tote of the rack twenty seven

37
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: times for one six and three scores. He gets a

38
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: B grade. David Johnson's a bench grade even if he

39
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: does shape up to go in this one. Yeah, because

40
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,119
Speaker 1: it could be it could be exactly what we saw

41
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: last week. Um No running back is top to eighty

42
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: three yards against the ground against on the ground against

43
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: the Saints this year. They've only allowed three total touchdowns

44
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: to the position on the season. But yeah, so why

45
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: even the B grade running back has had at least

46
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 1: five receptions against the Saints and four of their last

47
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 1: five games and a PPR. He's a solid B and

48
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna get all the work in this game, so

49
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: I'm giving him a B. Larry Fitzgerald he gets a

50
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: B and Christian Kirk gets to see if his ankle

51
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: is healthy. But those are the only wide receivers we want.

52
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: Regular slot corner P J. Williams will miss a few

53
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,399
Speaker 1: weeks due to suspension, meaning Chauncey Gardner Johnson will man

54
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: the slot. Gardner Johnson spent most of his first start

55
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: manning up against Tarik Cohen last week and allowed nine

56
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: catches and to score. And there's a major difference between

57
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 1: ring the five six Tarik Cohen in the sixth three

58
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald, uh Saints top corner Marshawn Lattimore won't go

59
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: into the slot. He stayed outside for of his snaps

60
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: this season. So he's gonna be wasted this entire game

61
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: on like Keishawn Johnson and Andy Isabella on the outside.

62
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: So I like Kirk even if he goes so Kyler

63
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: Murray gets a C grade. He's had at least ten

64
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,079
Speaker 1: rushing attempts in three straight weeks. Yeah, that part of it.

65
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: We do love that he scored twice on the ground

66
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: in the last four. The problem is the Saints are

67
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: top five and quarterback sacks and hits, and the Cards

68
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: have allowed Murray to be sacked twenty three times this season.

69
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: That's not good for a fleet of foot quarterback either. Um. Still,

70
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: there's opportunity for Kyle arbage time here if he rack

71
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: up racks up some fourth quarter points. Let's go over

72
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: to the Saints side where Alvin Kamara is shaping up

73
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: to a game time decision. Now he practiced on Friday.

74
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: That's a good thing. Um, I'm giving him a C

75
00:03:55,880 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: grade and giving Litavius a B grade. If Camara send

76
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: us see if Kamara plays well? Wait, yeah, yeah, that

77
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: makes sense. Latavius if he's alone, gets the B. Why

78
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't he be an At that point? Arizona's run defense

79
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: not good. Um, they're okay that the matchup is positive.

80
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: Similar dual threat backs to Camaraw like McCaffrey and Carson

81
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,599
Speaker 1: each top two hundred and forty total yards in the

82
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: last month, but Latavius isn't really a dual threat kind

83
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: of a guy. He did see of the plays and

84
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: last week's win against Chicago, and if he can take

85
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: thirty two touches and turn him into a hundred and

86
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: fifty total yards, that's fine. Uh. He might get to

87
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: do that in this game because they're not going to

88
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: need to pass the ball a lot. Speaking of passing

89
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: the ball, we don't know if it's going to be

90
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: Drew Brees or Teddy Bridgewater. Yeah. They I don't like that.

91
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: They're being evasive about it like they I guess it's

92
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: all strategic, right make the Cardinals, so plan for both guys.

93
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: If you got one or the other, UM, it's better

94
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: to have both really on your roster because we're gonna

95
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: know ninety minutes before game time who's starting. UM. Either way,

96
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: either quarterback gets a b Uh. He might Breeze might

97
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: come back from the thumb injury. But the Saints have

98
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: a bye week next week, so it seems like they

99
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: should rest him against the Cardinals at home and let

100
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,799
Speaker 1: him come back against Atlanta in Week nine. The Cards

101
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: have allowed to touch passing touchdown every game and multiple

102
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: scores in five of seven, and an average of two

103
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: and eighty five passing yards, which makes Michael Thomas an

104
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 1: easy a eight or more receptions in four straight games.

105
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: And the only other guy Josh Hill. I'm giving him

106
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: kind of a secret. You A cook looks like he's

107
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: gonna be out. He'll had three for forty three in

108
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: a score and the Cards have allowed eight touchdowns to

109
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: the tight end the season. That's the most in the

110
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: league by a ton. Uh. I bared cooks out, He'll

111
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: becomes a great dart throw fanball. It's still gross. Ted

112
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: Gains kind of in play too, But I'll talk about

113
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 1: him later, all right, we'll learn more about that if

114
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: if Breeze does come back, or when he comes back.

115
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: You know, Michael Thomas has been perfectly usable, but what

116
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 1: Breeze doesn't He opens up the deep part of the

117
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 1: field that that Teddy doesn't generally get to, and I

118
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: think we can get more deep passing out of Thomas. Fortunately,

119
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: Teddy fed Thomas so much it hasn't really mattered. Now,

120
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: if you're the Saints with the bye week looming, I'm

121
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: only putting Breeze out there if he's literally one six

122
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: and one at home against the Cardinals. Yeah, if you don't,

123
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: you don't need Breese to win, so you know you

124
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: wouldn't risk it whatsoever. I don't think, uh, Scott, let's

125
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: go to Philly taking on Buffalo. Philadelphia is in a

126
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: dire spot and with a much they really need to

127
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: win here, but Buffalo's past defense is awesome. Tell me

128
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: about how you feel about Carson Wentz in the passing

129
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: game for the Eagles in this one. I don't feel good, Bob.

130
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: Don't feel good about not great, Bob. I don't think

131
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 1: so Tim, not great, Bob. I don't feel good about

132
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: really any of them. I have Wents on the bench.

133
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 1: The Bills have only allowed four passing touchdowns this and

134
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,039
Speaker 1: just one quarterback over two hundred fifty yards. Conversely, Wentz

135
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 1: is surprisingly thrown for under two sixty in five of

136
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: his seven like, he's not throwing for a lot of yards.

137
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: He does have some multiple touchdown games, but this is

138
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: not a good matchup here. So I have Eggler on

139
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: the bench. He's gonna see tarn Johnson in the slot.

140
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: Who is the world you know, the easiest path of

141
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: resistance or like. It's a good matchup for him, but

142
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: he can't be trusted to reel and passes, so I

143
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 1: can't start him. He's on the bench. Aushan Jeffrey, he's uh.

144
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: I gave him a C grade even even in this

145
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: I think he might be the only startable, just barely

146
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: startable wide receiver. Uh. Jeffrey tends to move around, so

147
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna be able to avoid Gradavious White, who

148
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: stays glued to the to the left side of the

149
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: field the time to the left, so Jeffrey will move around.

150
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: He plays forty seven percent from one side, forty two

151
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: from the other, like nine from the slot. He's all over,

152
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: so that that might open Jeffrey up just enough to

153
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: give him a C grade. Hurts, I'm given a B grade.

154
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: The Bills haven't really faced the murderer's row against ted

155
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: Ends on their way to being the second best team

156
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: against ted Ends. It's been a lot of They've only

157
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: allowed seventeen receptions, but it's a lot of bad tight ends. Uh.

158
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: The good news is Evan Ingram was one of those.

159
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: They not bad tight end and he caught six balls,

160
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: so there's hope for for. It's for he's getting double

161
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: digit targets. So b grade on Earth's Goddard's on the bench.

162
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: Howard and Sanders also on the bench. Only two running

163
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 1: backs of top seventy yards against the Bills this year

164
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: and it took twenty touches for each of them, and

165
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 1: one of them was named Sae Kwon Barkley, So I'm

166
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 1: pretty sure Jordan Howard isn't Kwan Barkley. No, I will

167
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: say the Bills since Sean McDermott got there, they have

168
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: now allowed thirty eight or thirty nine touchdowns in his

169
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 1: thirty eight games with them or whatever Russian touchdowns. So

170
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: maybe Howard gets score, maybe, but I'm still having him

171
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: on the bench. On the Bill side, Josh Allen's gonna

172
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: get a lot of a grades nowadays. This month is

173
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: going to be good for for Josh Allen. Um. He

174
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: struggled a little bit against Miami, who randomly showed up

175
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: for the first half of that game, but he's always

176
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: a threat with his legs. Rogers and Dacked attacked on

177
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 1: decent fantasy points against Philly with their league legs, and

178
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: four of the five quarterbacks not named Luke Fox racked

179
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 1: up multiple touchdowns on Philly, So I think this is

180
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: a good multiple touchdown game with some some rushing for

181
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: Allen a grade, there be grade for his main guy Brown,

182
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: John Brown does like John Brown in this one. He

183
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 1: does what Phillies d just can't stop. He gets deep.

184
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: I mean, listen to this list of thirty plus yard

185
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: receptions thirty you know, thirty plus yard plays against the Eagles. McLaurin,

186
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: Julio Julio twice, Ridley Adams, Allison Digs twice, Cooper like

187
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: they all had thirty plus yard receptions on and that's

188
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: just one play. So John Brown's gonna get deep. He's

189
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: the only trustable asset leading in targets, receptions, yards, and

190
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 1: touchdowns with two, but have a touchdowns. The rest of

191
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 1: the wide receivers are too hard to protect their on

192
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: the bench. Gore is on the bench as well, because

193
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: the Eagles rundy is surprisingly no joke. It's it makes

194
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: up for the past two doesn't It's good barely allowing

195
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 1: over three point three yards per carry. So that the

196
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: running backs are on the bench agreed the Chargers taking

197
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: on Chicago, and it's a wreck for this Chargers team

198
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: with injury. Unfortunately, starting guard Forest lamp just went on

199
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: I art now they're gonna and I love lamp, we

200
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: love lamp Um and Russell Okung is gonna come back

201
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 1: for part of this game, but they don't think he's

202
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: ready to play a full game. And it's I've I've

203
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 1: really pushed all of my all of my Chargers down

204
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: in my grading fairly significantly in this one. The best

205
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: player you could start though, Hunter Henry and his two

206
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: games back from injury, He's turned into a top target

207
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: for Rivers with seventeen targets of the two games, a

208
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 1: ninety seven yard game and a one hundred yard game

209
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: for Hunter Henry, rewarding those fantasy owners that stuck with

210
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: him for all those games that he missed. The Bears

211
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 1: are allowing fifty eight yards per game to tight end,

212
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: but no individual tight end is top to even forty

213
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: six yards and only two have scored. So just a

214
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: B grade for Hunter Henry and it only really gets

215
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: worse from there. I got Philip Rivers on the bench. Yeah,

216
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: you know he didn't um keenan Allen, but let me.

217
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: Let me start with Keenan Allen. Why I don't like

218
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,559
Speaker 1: Allen and that will make more sense for Rivers maybe.

219
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: So Keenan Allen didn't practice all week with a hamstring injury.

220
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: It doesn't look like he's gonna go, although he's a

221
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: game time decision here. Um Allen hasn't exceeded five receptions

222
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: or scored in the last four games, so it's been

223
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: a disaster for Keenan Allen. The only positive for Keenan Allen,

224
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 1: even if he does go, is that he works the

225
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: slot that gives him Buster Screen, who is probably the

226
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: worst player in the entire Bears defense. I know, I

227
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know either. Uh. Screen is at

228
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: least allowed at least five catches in half of his games.

229
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: He's given up two scores in his last four games.

230
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: So there's your angle on Keenan Allen. But with the

231
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 1: hamstring injury, any played could be his last. So I

232
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: you've got a bench great on him. And if I

233
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: don't like Allen and the only receiver of the starting

234
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: greatest Hunter Henry, I've got to put Philip Rivers on

235
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: the bench. Offensive line is a huge concern the the

236
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: forest lamp part of it as well, But then of

237
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: course the Chicago pass rush makes it so hard. Chicago

238
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: ranks is the number two pass rush by Pro Football Focus.

239
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 1: The Chargers have the twenty seven ranked pass block unit.

240
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers is just going to be under siege in

241
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 1: this game, and that's why I can't put a starting

242
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: grade on him, nor Mike Williams, who has zero touchdowns

243
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: this year, and he's a totally touchdown dependent player. And

244
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: it's a bill secondary that's given up just three sorry

245
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 1: Bears secondary that's given up just three scores to opposing receivers.

246
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: So Mike Williams also on the bench. The one guy

247
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: who might get help by all the dump offs and

248
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 1: the quick plays from Philip Rivers is Austin Ekeler. He's

249
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: got the most targets, receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns

250
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,560
Speaker 1: among all running backs. That should continue against a Bears

251
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: team that's given up the fourth most receptions and the

252
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: fifth most receiving yards per game to running back. So

253
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 1: I do have a C grade in Austin Ekeler. He

254
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: probably won't get any goal line work if there is

255
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 1: goal line work to be had, although why would you

256
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: necessarily give Melvin Gordon the ball to goal line again

257
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: after what happened last week. Is Melvin Gordon on the

258
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: Chargers next week? I would say, se chance he's a charter. Okay,

259
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: that's just where that's my that's my finger in the wind.

260
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: But maybe he's a lion at this time next week.

261
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 1: It's not impossible. Gordon. Um. The Bears are really felt

262
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: the loss of defensive tackle a Keem Hicks. In the

263
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: past two games without him, they've been obliterated by Josh

264
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: Jacobs and Lottavius Murray, which you know we never saw

265
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: it coming, and especially in Chicago last week, Lottavius Murray

266
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: rolled him. I know I had him as a start

267
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: last week. Nice job. Melvin Gordon gets a C grade

268
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: here only because a Kee Hicks is out. Let's flip

269
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: over to the Chicago side. You only want to start

270
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 1: two guys, and one of them is pretty wobbly. Allen

271
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: Robinson just gets all of the targets here. Half of

272
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: Chicago's wide receiver targets go to Alan Robinson. Half. He

273
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: just beat Saints corner Marshawn Latimer and he's got another

274
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: tough matchup. He's gonna get shadow corner Casey Hayward in

275
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: this one. But if you can beat march On Latimer

276
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,240
Speaker 1: for a good game, I guess you could do it

277
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: to Hayward as well. Chargers have surrendered touchdowns to comparable

278
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 1: receivers like Kenny Golladay and DeVante Parker and Courtland Sutton

279
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: and Corey Davis. Corey Davis worked Hayward last week, so

280
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 1: maybe there's a little something we can get done with

281
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson with a B grade. And then the trickiest

282
00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: grade that I had to give all week is this one.

283
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: David Montgomery. I'm giving him a C. We had a

284
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 1: two carry game last week, so I know it's going

285
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: to be hard to put him in your starting lineup.

286
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: But Matt Nage is under the gun to get a

287
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: running game going. Everybody knows he's got to do it.

288
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: The Bears have to develop the running game, and Montgomery

289
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: is the is their main ball carrier. Of as much

290
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: as you can call eleven carries and two carries the

291
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: past two weeks, the main one and the best way

292
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: to beat the Chargers is on the ground. They're a

293
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: much worse run defense, giving up four point eight yards

294
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: per carry. This is a run defense. You can beat

295
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: David Montgomery. Well, one last starting grade is on the bench.

296
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: He gives you nothing on the ground. He frequently helps

297
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 1: on the air, and the charge of only allowed one

298
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: notable passing game to a runner, James Conner. Otherwise they've

299
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: shut down a bunch of other receiving backs and the

300
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: entire rest of the Bears passing game is on the bench.

301
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: Because you know who's that quarterback? We are in deep

302
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 1: sad trombone Ski territory. Can I run a different nickname

303
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: by you? Yeah, Mitch trash Binski. That's pretty good. That's

304
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: pretty good. But you know, I'm heavily invested Sad Trombone,

305
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: so I'm probably not going to adopt it. But it

306
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: is good. There's not a sounder for Mitch trash bin Spinsky,

324
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: and wide receivers hit paid or you pay us exactly

325
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:09,480

326
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 1: a or you could tip us by uh, you know,

327

Speaker 1: shooting it to Fantasy cares. Well, there's that, yeah, like DNA.

328
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 1: Try to monetize this segment absolutely. Let's you get at

329
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: the quarterback position. Matt, who is you gonna take a

330
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: chance on me? Quarterback? I've got Mason Rudolph who returns

331
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: from his scary concussion to something he was used to

332
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: seeing in the preseason, a third string NFL defense. That's

333
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins and rule number one of take a

334
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 1: chance on me is used the quarterback playing the Miami

335
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: Dolphins and the running back and the wide receiver and

336
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: the tight end. Yeah, they're pretty much, uh, pretty much bad.

337
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 1: They've allowed two point seven passing scores per game and

338
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 1: have only one interception through six. Rudolph has thrown multiple

339
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 1: touchdowns in three or four games this season. I like

340
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 1: him a lot, all right, So I'm gonna change mid

341
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 1: stream I was gonna do. I was gonna do. A

342
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: man that is nowt all time in NFL passing and

343
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: just tied Bo Jackson for career rushing touchdowns, Ryan Fitzpatrick Jackson.

344
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 1: I love it, but I'm switching on the fly here

345
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 1: to Ryan Tannehill, who faces a Bucks team that have

346
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:21,080
Speaker 1: allowed multiple touchdowns to quarterbacks in four straight They're back

347
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: to who they were last year, and since Week one,

348
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 1: they're allowing three fifty yards passing per game to opposing

349
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: quarter Switched Ryan Tannehill. Fitzpatrick's going to do better than

350
00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: Tannehill every very possible. The last minute Sunday morning switch

351
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:41,120
Speaker 1: never works. We'll see if this. I've got Ryan Tannehill

352
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: quarterback Eleven Fitzpatrick's a Monday night Hammer. I suppose there's that,

353
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 1: and he can also be benched at half. So you

354
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: know who's to say my quarterback is Derek Carr going

355
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: up against Houston through injury and age, the Houston secondary

356
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 1: regressing into one of the league's very worst. Aside from

357
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,879
Speaker 1: games against Green quarterbacks Kyle Allen and Gardner Minshew, the

358
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: Texans are allowing three hundred twenty three passing yards and

359
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: two point eight passing touchdowns per game. I would take

360
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: that from Derek Carr now, but you might be saying, oh,

361
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: but it's Derek Carr. I don't want Derek Carr. Well,

362
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 1: how about this. He's throwing multiple touchdowns and three of

363
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 1: us past four games, only the Bears, in their elite

364
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,160
Speaker 1: defense has stopped him from throwing multiple touchdowns. He gets

365
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: the gazelle back Tyroll Williams coming back, and he almost

366
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: scored a rushing touchdown last week. That's right, he did

367
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: fullbow it through the end zone. Hasson, he has no back.

368
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 1: He is a long way off of Bo Jackson. Let's

369
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,160
Speaker 1: go to our take a chance of me running backs.

370
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: I've got J D. Mckissic of the Lions against the

371
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: Giants last week, rookie Ty Johnson led mckissic in touches

372
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: fourteen to seven, but mckissic was the more dynamic back.

373
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: He gained almost the same amount of yards, in fact,

374
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 1: a little bit more on half the touches. That what

375
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: then what Ty Johnson did, And if Johnson fails to

376
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 1: get it going early, I could see this turning into

377
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 1: a complete time share. The Giants have have had a

378
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: major weakness against pass catching backs as well, allowing almost

379
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: ten yards per reception to opposing backs over the last

380
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 1: five games. This includes a nine catch effort for James

381
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: White and six catches for eighty six from Dalvin Cook.

382
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: Mckissic is averaging over ten yards per catch, including two

383
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: for thirty one last week. I think he's going to

384
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 1: be in playing PPR leagues. All right, Scott, your take

385
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: a chance of me running back. I'm gonna make it. No,

386
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: I'm not no, I'm not not on this one. D No,

387
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 1: Darryl Henderson. Every running back to log over ten touches

388
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: against the Bengals has topped eighty yards. And that's not

389
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: a small it's not a small number. Ten different backs

390
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 1: in seven weeks have done ten different backs, So you

391
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,959
Speaker 1: get over ten touches eleven or more. Darryl Henderson has

392
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: never had a ten touch game. No, he hasn't, but

393
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: but he looked, so he's due. But Malcolm Brown is

394
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: out for this one. And the Bengals have also allowed

395
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 1: ten running back touchdowns in seven games. Uh, this is

396
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: a game script where they're twelve and a half point favorites.

397
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: Might be running it down later and it might be

398
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: with Darryl Henderson. Give me him there. Also, the Bengals

399
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 1: are bottom five and basically every running back category, right,

400
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: I'm with you. If Malcolm Brahm's out, Darryll Henderson's officially

401
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: officially out, all right, perfect, then I'm I'm with you

402
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: on this. Duke Johnson is the one b in the

403
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: Houston running attack. I like him here against the Raiders.

404
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,879
Speaker 1: They just allowed the Packers backs to catch ten balls

405
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: for a hundred two yards and two touchdowns through the air.

406
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: They've also allowed solid games to change of pace specialists

407
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: in the past, like Nike Himes Tarik Cohen. So I

408
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: like Duke Johnson in a in a game in which

409
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 1: he will catch plenty of passes, and I think he'll

410
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: he'll add in a few extra rushing yards as well.

411
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: Let's go to the receiver position. Usually that's wide receiver.

412
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 1: Sometimes it means touch tight ends. Matt who you got

413
00:21:58,040 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: as you take a chance to me receiver? This week

414
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: got DK Metcalf, who quietly has led the Seahawks and

415
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: targets over the last two weeks. The loss of tight

416
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: end Will Disley might have added to this, as Russell

417
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: Wilson's looking for a big bodied guy and hey, there's

418
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf. Metcalf should match up with corner Isaiah Oliver,

419
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 1: who's rocking a one thirty point four quarterback rating in

420
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 1: his coverage, which is good for fifth worst in the league.

421
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: The Falcons are bottom five in the league in receptions,

422
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: yards and touchdowns allowed to the wide receiver position. Alright, Scott,

423
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: your take a chance to me receiver is I'm going

424
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 1: Dashawn Hamilton's for the Denver Broncos. With with Emmanuel Sanders gone,

425
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: that frees up a little over six extra targets per game.

426
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 1: It was basically just Sutton and Sanders getting all the targets.

427
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 1: I'm not afraid to know a fan who keeps dropping

428
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: the ball. Uh DeShawn Hamilton's in the slot if he

429
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: adds those five six targets to the two three. He

430
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 1: was already three. He was already getting He could be

431
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: a seven and seven to ten target guy against an

432
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: Indiana Indianapolis fence who has allowed the fourth most passing

433
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: yards from th weeks five through seven to the last

434
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: three weeks to that. I read Noah Fanse cut his

435
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: own foot while cutting his tape off on Friday and

436
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: wasn't able to practice. Really, yeah, I hadn't heard that

437
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,919
Speaker 1: one of the worst injuries in the history of the NFL.

438
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: The kicker for the Jags was that the Jags or

439
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: the Panthers it was. It was definitely the Jack del

440
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: rio Ja that was that was bad with the ax.

441
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: This is similar and that it was a coach induced injury. Dang,

442
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: it's just gonna kill me it. This is early nineties

443
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: late and you know, maybe mid nineties. Um back in

444
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:44,239
Speaker 1: uh there was a Dallas Cowboy receiver who was who

445
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: played opposite Michael Irvin um and he was just this

446
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 1: field Harper Bruce Bruce Um something Blanche. He went to

447
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay and at one point he had his fingers

448
00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 1: taped together and he went to the sidelines and they

449
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 1: were trying to untape his fingers, and instead they sliced

450
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: his finger off the sidelines instead of slicing the tape off. Bruce, Bruce,

451
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: somebody's listening to knowing. I know I can't. I can't.

452
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: I don't have a computer in front of me. Will

453
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: going to come up with it? Not Bruce Willis. I'm

454
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: pretty we'd know, brute almighty, dang it, it's gonna bug me.

455
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: I take a chance of me. Wide receivers Deonte Johnson.

456
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: This is another in these series of pick on the Dolphins.

457
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,840
Speaker 1: But let's remember Dante Johnson was trending very well before

458
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: the whole Duck Hodges thing happened. When it was just

459
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph. He had put together solid games with rut

460
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: nicely done. There's Duck Hodges. Pro Football Focus ranks the

461
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 1: Dolphins dead last and pass coverage and second to last

462
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: and pass rush. They allowed the most passing touchdowns two

463
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: point seven per game, the six highest completion percentage, and

464
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: they've allowed the most touchdowns of wide receivers. We will

465
00:24:54,359 --> 00:25:00,160
Speaker 1: take the touchdown play with Deonte Johnson not bad um out.

466
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: Let's go to our next matchup, Cincinnati taking on the

467
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: l A Rams Joe Mixon with his zero point to

468
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: yards per carry last week. Matt, you know, before we

469
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 1: get started on this, this is a London game, and

470
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: usually we bring in our London correspondent, Colin mccockney. Colin mccockney, yes, where.

471
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: We don't know where he is. He's missing in action.

472
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: There's been a ransom letter sent to us. We they're

473
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: demanding ten thousand followers for explosive output for him to

474
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: come back on Twitter. So, I don't know, specific, very

475
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: specific and unusual demand. They cut that out of the

476
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: magazine and then yeah, you know, so I'm gonna do

477
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: my best Colin mccockney impression this week. Not really, Um,

478
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:57,120
Speaker 1: all right, Cincinnati's at the Rams in in Old Blighty. Uh.

479
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 1: Mixon has done sweet Fanny Adams over the last a

480
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: few weeks. Had eighteen rushing attempts for twelve yards in

481
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 1: the last two games. Let's average that out to nine

482
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:13,360
Speaker 1: times per games for six yards. That's bad. Uh. Six

483
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 1: yards in London is the equivalent of where you take

484
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 1: a goal kick from in soccer. Unfortunately, he's not playing footie.

485
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton's also on the bench. Dalton has to be

486
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,719
Speaker 1: worried about being replaced in this game by Ryan Finley.

487
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: He's done an absolute bodge job over the last few weeks. However,

488
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: if the Bengals just leave him in there, he only

489
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: has to wait seven short months for National Redhead Day

490
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,719
Speaker 1: in the UK, which will take place on Saturday. Max

491
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: uh Tyler Boyd is the only Rams starter. He gets

492
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 1: a garbage time see and out and takes on the bench.

493
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: Tate has got to be feeling really grotty about his

494
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: matchup with Jalen Ramsey and Boyd is third in the

495
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: league and targets and the Bengals seem to have no

496
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: other path to scoring. Uh. Let's go to the ramside

497
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: where Todd Gurley gets an A grade and Darryl Henderson

498
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 1: was Scott's take a chance on me girlies. Uh, He's

499
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: he's the dogs danglies in London. He's averaging one fifty

500
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: four total yards and a score in his career London games. Okay,

501
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: that was just one game against the Cardinals. In the

502
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: Bengals have allowed the top running back on their opponent's

503
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,879
Speaker 1: depth chart to top a hundred yards or score in

504
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: every game this season, and that's Todd Gurley. Uh. He

505
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: returned to a full workload after taking a week off

506
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: with the thigh contusion. He touched the ball nineteen times

507
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: against the Falcons. He's done next to nothing with his

508
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: carries this season, but have scored six times, which ranks

509
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: him six in the NFL amongst running backs. Uh The

510
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 1: wide receivers Cooper Cup and Brandon Cooks both get B grades.

511
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: Robert Woods is on the bench. Surprisingly, the Bengals have

512
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 1: held up pretty well against wide receivers this season and

513
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: have been actually good against the slot. Tyler Lockett is

514
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: the only slot receiver to score against since and he

515
00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 1: was held to that only single catch in the Week

516
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: one meeting d D. Westbrook did top a hundred yards

517
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: and six catches last week from the slot, though former

518
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: first rounder Darky's Dinard return and from the pup list

519
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: last week and only allowed twenty one yards and slot

520
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,479
Speaker 1: coverage in his first game back. Cup is still as

521
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: bright as a button, though he's averaging eleven targets per game.

522
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 1: The week spot for the Bengals is the deep speed receivers,

523
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 1: and Cooks will match up against cornerback Tony McCrae, who's

524
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: been brutally awful in limited play. The season, with only

525
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: thirteen passes thrown in McCrae's direction, He's allowed eleven catches

526
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,359
Speaker 1: for a hundred and twenty nine yards and a score.

527
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 1: Maybe mccraig gets knackered from all that. Running Woods has

528
00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: one score on the season, and it's a rushing score.

529
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 1: On Outside of what a wreck he's been this year,

530
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: he's a good player. Outside of the one huge game

531
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: against Tampa we had like a hundred and sixty four yards,

532
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: he's averaging forty five yards per game. Gross. It's awful.

533
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 1: I'm seeing get dropped in leagues. Yeah, understandable. It's probably true. Gerald,

534
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: It's it's so true. There we go. Gerald Everett is

535
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: a very weak see start. He's been out on the

536
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: poll and scored in two of the last three weeks.

537
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: Bengals have allowed only one score to the tight end

538
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: position and only one tight end is top three catches

539
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: against them this year. So finally, Jared Goff he gets

540
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: a C grade. It seems like a good matchup, but

541
00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 1: it's a bit dodgy, as the Bengals have not allowed

542
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 1: a quarterback to top three hundred yards all season, and

543
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: Goff's play has been a picnic short of a Sandwich.

544
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,840
Speaker 1: He hasn't tossed two passing scores in a game this season,

545
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: and when held to ford than fewer than forty passing attempts,

546
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: he's only averaged two hundred sixteen yards on the season.

547
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: If he doesn't get to forty passing attempts two sixteen yards,

548
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: he won't get to forty this week. I don't think

549
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a good week for Jared Goff. No,

550
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: it may not be. You've been You've been on top

551
00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: of the Jared Goff situation from the beginning of the year.

552
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: You're an early skeptic. Mostly that is paid off. Alright,

553
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: So his name's not brous it's Alvin Harper, I said,

554
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: Alvin Harper. Yeah, I missed it. Yes, it was Alvin

555
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: Harper who got his finger cut off on the sidelines,

556
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: which has gotta be And Tampa Bay signed a nine

557
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: fingered wide receiver. Well, he was tended at the top

558
00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,560
Speaker 1: at the point of the signing because you can't sign

559
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 1: right with fingers. I wonder if they which finger it was,

560
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 1: because that's kind of a big factor here too. Uh

561
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 1: did you know fanball has daily fantasy auctions? It's true.

562
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: You love auctioning in the preseason. You will love auctioning

563
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 1: for this weekend's games. Fan ball auctions are fast paced,

564
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 1: their frantic, incredibly fun. You've been on four players simultaneously

565
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: against real life opponents. Yeah, you can even win money

566
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: fan ball auctions, but just playing them and auctioning is

567
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: so much fun. That's just good enough even if you lose.

568
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: Coming up next in Fantasy Football Weekly, we will break

569
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: down more matchups, including Denver taking on Indianapolis. What can

570
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,959
Speaker 1: you expect from the Denver passing attack without Emmanuel Sanders

571
00:30:42,040 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: will tell you when we come back. You are listening

572
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: to Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul Charchie and my

00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: for podcasts, the I Heart Radio app. Denver takes on Indianapolis.

578
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: Scott and as we alluded to going into the break,

579
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to go without their best receiver, well,

580
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: their second best receiver. Maybe they're they're one A and

581
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: I guess one Bmanuel Sanders no longer with the team.

582
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,520
Speaker 1: What do you think about Courtland Sutton and the rest

583
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: of the passing attack here for Denver. I don't exactly

584
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: love Flecco, but I still like Courtland Sutton. I mean

585
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: he has at least seventy five yards and five of

586
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: the seven games, including three straight, and India's they're they're

587
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: giving it up, as I mentioned, with Hamilton's five wide

588
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 1: receivers over a hundred yards, including three in just the

589
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: last two weeks. I still I you know, I want

590
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: to give Sudden a but I think I'm gonna lean be.

591
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 1: I really do like him this week, A strong be

592
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: I don't like. I think Flacco is gonna just do

593
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,600
Speaker 1: enough to support those two wide receivers though, and not

594
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: enough to have a good fantasy day for you though,

595
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: So I'm having him on the bench only Derek Carr.

596
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: Derek Carr and Mariota were the only two q qbs

597
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: who didn't throw for three Indie, but I put Flacco

598
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: in that group, if not below. So fantas on the

599
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: bench needs to have a game over forty yards before

600
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: I even want to start him. And and with Lindsay

601
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: and Royce, they are doing just enough to make each

602
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: other miserable for fantasy owners, Colts having allowed of running

603
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: back touchdown since we to know running back under seventeen

604
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: touches is even at sixty yards. On the Colts, it's

605
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:57,480
Speaker 1: all passing. So I'm mentioning both of them. Royce is

606
00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: getting more snaps, more nine catches the last two games. Him, yeah, yeah,

607
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's it's a it's a weird situation.

608
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: Right now. I'm still benching both. I think here, I

609
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: can't see. I don't have it in me to bench

610
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay. I do like him too much. I think

611
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 1: if you have to start when it's Lindsay, because he's

612
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 1: still getting better, he's still getting more touches, and he's better,

613
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: and he's more explosive and you know, maybe an explosive play.

614
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: But I have trouble starting either of them. Brissette, I'm

615
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: giving a B grade two, and I kind of want

616
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: to give him an A because he's, you know, the

617
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,560
Speaker 1: touchdown leader. He's had tough matchups and it doesn't matter.

618
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: He's just throwing touchdowns. But the Broncos are allowing the

619
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: third fewest yards, fourth fewest passing touchdowns. Uh. The b

620
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: for Brissette is the Broncos have faced Matt Moore, Mariotta, Tannehill, split, Carterbisky,

621
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: Minshew um on the way to those defensive splits. It's

622
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: a tough matchup, but those aren't great quarterbacks. So I

623
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: think Brissette can get it done. His main guy, t

624
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: Y Hilton is probably gonna avoid Christopher Harris, so I

625
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: I like him. This week. He scored five touchdowns in

626
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,000
Speaker 1: the five games that he's played. The yards aren't exactly there,

627
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 1: because that's like throwing him thrown to him ten yards

628
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,959
Speaker 1: down field instead of his career average, which I think

629
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,719
Speaker 1: is like fourteen or fifteen. So, but he's still averaging

630
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:09,480
Speaker 1: six yards per game. I'm still giving him an a.

631
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 1: The rest of the wide receivers, they are splitting up

632
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: so much it doesn't matter. He can't he can't start him,

633
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: don't chase either. Here's here's the always fun if else

634
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: Jack Doyle has a questionable groin. I probably could have

635
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 1: phrased that better. Uh. If he does not go, I

636
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: think Ebron's a C grade here. I think he's just startable.

637
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: He might get a touchdown if he does go. If

638
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: they both go, I'm mentioning him. Both Broncos have only

639
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,759
Speaker 1: allowed one touchdown to a tight end this year, and

640
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 1: only one touchdown tight end over forty five yards, and

641
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 1: that was Darren Waller on a bunch of targets. Marlon

642
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: Mack it's a B grade for me. Only one game

643
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:48,239
Speaker 1: under eighteen touches for him, and he's averaging twenty one

644
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: point five every eighteen touchback against Denver ninety plus yards

645
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: or a touchdown and or a touchdown. So I'm giving

646
00:34:56,200 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 1: mccabee Tampa Bay taking on Tennessee. To understand the Bucks

647
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 1: prospects in this one, here's the first thing you need

648
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 1: to understand. You can't run the ball on Tennessee and

649
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 1: Peyton Barbera and Ronald Jones are middling runners anyway. Last week,

650
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: a better set of runners, Melvin Gordon Austin Ekeler combined

651
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 1: for thirty nine rushing yards against Tennessee. And while the

652
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 1: Titans are vulnerable to pass catching backs Barbara and Jones

653
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: don't catch. They both average one reception of games, so

654
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: they're out and they're on the bench. That brings us

655
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 1: to the passing game, where there's gonna be a ton

656
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 1: of volume for Jamis Winston because you can't run on

657
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 1: Tennessee and its three games with thirty seven or more passes,

658
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: Winston has averaged an amazing three hundred eighty eight yards

659
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,879
Speaker 1: and two points seven touchdowns. And if you're a little

660
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: bit worried about Winston unraveling with the multiple picks like

661
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: he had the five picks last time we saw him,

662
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 1: note this. The Titans have zero or one interception in

663
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 1: twenty of their last twenty two games. They are not

664
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: a big turnover defense, so I don't think Winston's going

665
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: to have the multiple interceptions this time, and I like it.

666
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 1: I'm giving him a B grade and a bounce back performance.

667
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: I've got a B grade on Mike Evans as well.

668
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:11,879
Speaker 1: After allowing three wide receiver touchdowns over the first three weeks,

669
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 1: the Titans have stifled opposing receivers, surrendering just one score

670
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 1: to the position over the last month of play. Evans

671
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: lines up over the field, but he's got tough matchups

672
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: on both of the outside spots of Dory Jackson Malcolm Butler,

673
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 1: who have improved after some early season struggles. Um, he

674
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:29,680
Speaker 1: probably won't run from the slot that much because that's

675
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin's territory. Godwin has been awesome so far this year,

676
00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: but a tricky matchup against Logan Ryan. He's allowing a

677
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 1: modest forty seven yards per game in his coverage. He's

678
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:42,839
Speaker 1: only given up one touchdown to just a B grade

679
00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 1: on Chris Godwin, and this one O J. Howard has

680
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,760
Speaker 1: been ruled out. If you are in a pinch, Cameron

681
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 1: Braid is a dart throw hunter. Henry just put up

682
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: ninety seven yards against Tennessee. Austin Hooper put up a

683
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: giant game earlier in the year, and Cameron Braid could

684
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: be your tight end dart throw and that makes a

685
00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: little bit of sense with O. J. Howard up, Let's

686
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 1: go to the Tennessee side. We'll begin with the running game.

687
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: And I don't like Derrick Henry here at all. This

688
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: is probably his toughest matchup of the year. Very tempted

689
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: to give him a bench grade. Altogether, the Bucks give

690
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: up the fewest rushing yards and the fewest yards per carry.

691
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: Get this two point seven yards Perry. That's nothing I

692
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: did not realize. What's more impressive is who's they've done

693
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: it against. Listen to the guys they faced. Christian McCaffrey twice,

694
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:36,879
Speaker 1: say Kwan Barkley, Todd Gurley, Alvin Kamara. And they're giving

695
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: up two point seven yards per carry. That's it. Now

696
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: they can get dinged a little bit through the air,

697
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: but Derrick Henry doesn't catch. So just to see grade

698
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 1: on Derrick Henry and really you're hoping for the touchdown

699
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 1: plunge and that's about it. And really I ought to

700
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 1: probably give him a bench grade. Let's go to the

701
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,919
Speaker 1: passing game. Ryan Tannehill, we talked to you, talked about

702
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 1: him earlier to take a chance of a quarterback, and

703
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 1: I've got a B grade on him, So I'm I'm

704
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:03,879
Speaker 1: in locks step with you. Corey Davis with Tannehill last week,

705
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,279
Speaker 1: not season highs and targets and receptions. I love that

706
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:11,399
Speaker 1: part of this game. And to Tampa's secondary so bad.

707
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: They've surrendered a league worst two hundred four yards per

708
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: game to wide receivers, the fifth most touchdowns to wide receivers.

709
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: Corey Davis draws coverage from Carlton Davis and Vernon Hargreaves

710
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:28,719
Speaker 1: on the outside. Those are both deep C. Davis versus C. Davis, right,

711
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: So it is David's kind of it's kind of like almost, yeah,

712
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 1: we'll get to that, except then there's that A J.

713
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 1: You know what the cure for the Tampa defenses, Ryan Tannehill, Well, yeah, uh.

714
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: A J. Brown is usually only on the field like

715
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 1: the Snaps, so I know it's not easy to start him,

716
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 1: but the opportunity is so good. I think he's dart

717
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: throws startable here for A J. Brown again, Tampa allowing

718
00:38:57,560 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: the most yards and all the touchdowns. Everything else I

719
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: told you about about Corey Davis, most of that applies

720
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 1: d A J. Brown here too, so you could try him.

721
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,879
Speaker 1: Delaney Walker has been ruled out of this game. Let's

722
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 1: work in one more matchup into the segment, Seattle taking

723
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: on Atlanta. Matt What do you got for the Seattle side?

724
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,800
Speaker 1: Chris Carson's getting an A grade. He's topped twenty rushing

725
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:21,399
Speaker 1: attempts in four straight games, all of which occurred after

726
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: a shot Penny turned to the lineup. In those four contests,

727
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 1: He's bested one rushing yards in three but only reached

728
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: paydirt twice on the ground. This season, the Falcons have

729
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: only allowed three backs the top sixty yards and seven contests. However,

730
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 1: the Dirty Birds have reverted to their old ways of

731
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 1: being completely submissive to receiving backs, allowing three touchdowns to

732
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 1: backs through the air in the last two games, so

733
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: it's coming back. Russell Wilson gets an A grade. If

734
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 1: the Falcons don't sack Russell Wilson this week, they'll be

735
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 1: the first team since sacks were recorded as a stat

736
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,399
Speaker 1: to not sack the quarterback in five straight weeks. Think

737
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 1: about that. That's how little pressure the Falcons are getting

738
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: on opposing corps backs too. You're gonna be the first

739
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: team in the modern era to go five straight games

740
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: without a sack. Not only that, their bottom ten and

741
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: rushing yards allowed to quarterbacks too, so that bodes well

742
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,879
Speaker 1: for Wilson. Tyler Lockett gets an A. Lockett will runs

743
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: about his routes from the slot, meaning he'll match up

744
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:19,399
Speaker 1: with Deamonte Kazi, who's allowed a one nineteen point nine

745
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: quarterback rating, and dk metcalf Was might take a chance

746
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: on the wide receiver on the Seahawks side, DeVante Freeman

747
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: will start with him. It's possible the Devil went down

748
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: to Georgia last week to possess Davante Freeman, who took

749
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 1: the field in the third quarter and punched Darreon Donald

750
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:39,280
Speaker 1: securing an injection, who punches Aaron Donald, who punches a helmet.

751
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: I guess geez um. That's kind of Freeman season in

752
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: a nutshell. He's averaging a career low three point five

753
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 1: yards per carry. He hasn't scored a rushing touchdown since

754
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 1: before the Minneapolis miracle. Um. Seattle's run defense has been

755
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 1: a roller coaster. They're just the middle of the road

756
00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 1: UH defense. But Ato Smith is out, so Freeman gets

757
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: a C grade. UH. A quarterback named Matt will start.

758
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 1: If it's Matt Ryan, he gets a C grade. If

759
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: it's Matt Schob, he's a bench grade. Ryan still nursing

760
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 1: a high ankle sprain, but might end up going. Dan

761
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: Quinn might force him to play because if the Falcons lose,

762
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: Quinn probably loses his job over the week nine. By

763
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 1: If Shab ends up going, he's got a fourteen to

764
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: twenty two touchdown to interception ratio in his last ten games,

765
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 1: And if Ryan ends up going, it will be with

766
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:30,319
Speaker 1: a big, beefy ankle brace and a suspect offensive line.

767
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,520
Speaker 1: If Shop is the starter, you downgrade all of these

768
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 1: wide receivers and tight ends all. So I have Julio

769
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 1: Jones as an A or a B IF shop starts

770
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: and Calvin Ridley as a C or A bench slot

771
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Mohammed Sanu has traded the Pats earlier this week.

772
00:41:45,880 --> 00:41:49,359
Speaker 1: Of current active Falcons receivers, Julio has the most routes

773
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 1: run from the slot. Big time slot guys Michael Thomas

774
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 1: and Cooper Cup each had good days. Ridley has scored

775
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: in four of seven games and top sixty yards and

776
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: three of those but in the other one he's vanished

777
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: uh six yards, thirty two and thirty in the other contests.

778
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 1: I don't like him very much. He is very much

779
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 1: all or nothing. He gets Shakhill Griffin, who's the highest

780
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: rated of the Seahawks corners according to Pro Football Focus,

781
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 1: and finally Austin Hooper. He's getting an A grade. Hooper

782
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: has caught twenty of twenty two slot targets this year,

783
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 1: so they've been running him out of the slot a

784
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: little bit too um That might help with this new

785
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 1: trade as well. So the Seahawks have allowed the third

786
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,360
Speaker 1: most yards to the tight end position this season, and

787
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 1: Hooper has been great. Cooper has been gred who do

788
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 1: you guess he's he's the highest scoring fantasy tight end

789
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,239
Speaker 1: in most leagues. I don't think we saw that coming

790
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 1: is stuff. Is there any player you would take straight

791
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: up for Dalvin Cook if you were Dalvin Cook owner?

792
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 1: Is there any player you would take in that trade

793
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: straight up? I'd have to look at the schedule coming up.

794
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 1: But I mean McCaffrey and Barkley still come to mind. Yeah,

795
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 1: I would have to really do a schedule analysis on that,

796
00:42:57,640 --> 00:43:02,480
Speaker 1: make sure I thought about it. I don't think McCaffrey

797
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: is gonna get hurt or miss time or even have

798
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:07,240
Speaker 1: his snaps are do you know you can't predict that stuff,

799
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:11,280
Speaker 1: but he's playing snap right. Yeah. The thing about dangerous

800
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 1: McCaffrey and Correctly that I like is they don't really

801
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 1: have anybody behind them to take touches, and Alexander Madison

802
00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 1: does take touches from Calvin Cook a little bit. So

803
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,839
Speaker 1: I do like Barkley and McCaffrey a little bit better,

804
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:25,000
Speaker 1: But that gap is getting really close. Yeah, they're also tight.

805
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: I don't think it wouldn't I couldn't do it straight up.

806
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:31,240
Speaker 1: You'd have to offer me a little more. Stefon Diggs

807
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:36,280
Speaker 1: just set the three game receiving record for the Vikings

808
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,879
Speaker 1: for most yards took from Randy Moss on Thursday night.

809
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 1: Once Thealan gets back, do you think we get the

810
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 1: old Diggs back? Or do you think we get new

811
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: shiny Diggs? Do we get this version? It's worth noting

812
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: that they've played junk defenses the last three weeks, so

813
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,399
Speaker 1: I think it's matchup based. If they're playing the worst

814
00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:58,520
Speaker 1: defenses in the league. Yeahs is gonna be great. All Yeah,

815
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:00,480
Speaker 1: Although the Vikings still have the Dolphins on the skinning,

816
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 1: they get the Chiefs next week and that's not a

817
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: great secondary. Well, it's a much improved chat. We'll talk

818
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: about that one in a few minutes here. Coming up next,

819
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: let's answer three tough questions you can play along. Try

820
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 1: to go a perfect three and oh on Fantasy Football Weekly. No, don't,

821
00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 1: it's Fantasy Football Weekly. I am bull Archie and my

822
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: co hosts are Matt Harrison at Twitter on Twitter at

823
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 1: Explosive Output, Scott Fish at Scott Fish twenty four, did

824
00:44:56,360 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: not Fish twenty four on Twitter. Boys, it's getting the

825
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: grinder with three tough questions. We traditionally start with tough

826
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: question number one. Now, with the forty niners. Will Emmanuel

827
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:14,279
Speaker 1: Sanders most often be a wide receiver one, a wide

828
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:18,560
Speaker 1: receiver to a flex or a bench player. Matt, you know,

829
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: we always traditionally start with tough question number one. I'd

830
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 1: like to mix it up next time and go with

831
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,560
Speaker 1: you know, maybe next question we'll do tough question number three.

832
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:33,359
Speaker 1: About that question number three? Now often be a wide receiver, one,

833
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 1: wide receiver to flex or bench. You didn't have to

834
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: read it against schedule is okay? Two matchups with Arizona

835
00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 1: over the next four weeks, he'll be a wide receiver

836
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,640
Speaker 1: one in those and against Atlanta in week fifteen. Other

837
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 1: than that, I don't love the matchups Carolina this week,

838
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,360
Speaker 1: Green Bay, Baltimore, New Orleans, and the Rams in the

839
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 1: Fantasy Championship, which I feel will be like c starts.

840
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: So I think he's a flex. Okay, that's exactly what

841
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 1: I had. I had a flex. Uh, he'll have will

842
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: be matchup dependent. I think that this defense and the

843
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: run game Shanahan likes to do. I know that Shanahan

844
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: said this week that he wants Emmanuel Sanders to play

845
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,120
Speaker 1: a lot this week and he wants to get him

846
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:13,799
Speaker 1: really involved. But there's gonna be some growing pains there. Uh,

847
00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 1: the defense in the run game they live off of that.

848
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,800
Speaker 1: That's not a lot of passing. Jimmy g hasn't topped

849
00:46:19,840 --> 00:46:22,399
Speaker 1: three thirty three attempts yet this season, only top two

850
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:26,799
Speaker 1: fifty yards twice, only averaging one passing touchdown per game.

851
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: And Kittle is the main guy there. I think I

852
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 1: think it's a flex for most of the season. Emmanuel

853
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:37,000
Speaker 1: Sanders knows the Kyle Shanahan's system because Denver's offensive coordinator,

854
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 1: Rich scan Garrello was Shanahan's quarterback coach last year, so

855
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: he's running that offense. He walked right into this. He

856
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: knows the scheme already. He's got to learn a little terminology,

857
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:49,839
Speaker 1: but he'll be able to hit the ground running as

858
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 1: early as this week. And you know, everything else in

859
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 1: San Francisco is working except the passing game. There's the

860
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 1: one thing that's not working in San Francisco for an

861
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 1: undefeated team. There's a lot out of impetus to make sure.

862
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 1: There's a reason they traded for him. They make sure

863
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:08,760
Speaker 1: that he helps bring some um, some of the passing

864
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: attack that they need to correspond with the running success

865
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: That they've had. And it's not that Jimmy garoppolos bad.

866
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 1: He's completing sixty percent of his passes. He is a decent,

867
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 1: not elite, but a decent quarterback waiting for help. This

868
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,080
Speaker 1: is the help that's arriving. And if you look last

869
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:26,040
Speaker 1: year with Case Keenum as his quarterback in a much

870
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 1: worse offense, Sanders was a wide receiver to. He finished

871
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 1: the season as wide receiver twenty in the games that

872
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 1: he started the twelve games he played in before he

873
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 1: snapped as Achilles. If he was a wide receiver to

874
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 1: last year in that offense with Case Keenum, he's a

875
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: wide receiver too in this Kyle Shanahanna offense. But Keenom

876
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: does does use this lot a lot. I was just say,

877
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo cans. They've got all those thosemiddling kids that

878
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: just haven't panned out for San Francisco. It's been it's

879
00:47:55,640 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 1: been frustrating, all those hopes and dreams like of meddling

880
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 1: kids from Scooby Doo, middling kids, middling medaling. George Kittle

881
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 1: speaking with the LS, staying on the forty nine, we

882
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,240
Speaker 1: rarely do the same team twice in our three questions.

883
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 1: George Kittle has one touchdown in one game with more

884
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:16,720
Speaker 1: than seventy yards. That's it. Which George Kittle is closer

885
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:21,360
Speaker 1: to being the real George Kittle the eighteen version or

886
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen Virgin Scott stat Wise, it hasn't quite

887
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 1: been there. But as a player, the version he if

888
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 1: if you've watched the games, he he's made some great plays.

889
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:35,320
Speaker 1: He's made some really good place it's just that passing

890
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:38,279
Speaker 1: offense hasn't hit yet. And with Emmanuel Sanders coming, and

891
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,760
Speaker 1: you know how we like to say, you know, rising

892
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:43,160
Speaker 1: tide raises all boats. I think it's gonna be better

893
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: for Kittle that one touchdown he has. That's it. That

894
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 1: regression is coming. Positive regression is coming on there. And

895
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 1: listen to their schedule against the tight end, Cardinals thirty second,

896
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 1: Seahawks twenty nine, Cardinals, thirty second, Packers thirty one. He's

897
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 1: got a couple of tough matchups. But then in your

898
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 1: fantasy playoffs, he goes back to Falcons and ram against

899
00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:05,240
Speaker 1: the tight end. Okay, so there's a lot of great matchup.

900
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:09,400
Speaker 1: So you're saying version is the real Matt what do

901
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 1: you got? I also have the version, because you need

902
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 1: to remember that Kittle is that two touchdowns called back

903
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 1: from penalties that were not his fault, one for illegal

904
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: formation where his tackle was lined up too far back,

905
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:25,880
Speaker 1: one for offensive pass interfere pass interference on his fullback,

906
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:29,840
Speaker 1: Kyle use Check. Add those thirty yards and two scores

907
00:49:29,960 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 1: into his fantasy points, and he's the fifth best tight

908
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:37,839
Speaker 1: end in the league. He's tied for second in tight

909
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: end touchdowns, and he's fifth best in yards, So I

910
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:44,600
Speaker 1: mean he's he's fine. San Francisco played last week in

911
00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:47,799
Speaker 1: basically a hurricane quagmire and only put up nine points

912
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:51,279
Speaker 1: if you take if you take that game out, um,

913
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 1: San Francisco is the number eight scoring offense, so the

914
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:57,960
Speaker 1: points are being generated by that offense. They just haven't

915
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 1: happened to go through the team's best receiving option. It's

916
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 1: kind of like the other week when we had that

917
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:05,040
Speaker 1: question about Hopkins and we said the tight ends kept going,

918
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:08,240
Speaker 1: that Hopkins finally got finally got it. So a positive

919
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 1: regression is in fact coming for George Kittle. Version is

920
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:14,760
Speaker 1: the real version. He is not falling off a cliff,

921
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:16,719
Speaker 1: and I think we're going to see it soon. Tough

922
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 1: question Number three. Now that Mason Rudolph is back, will

923
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster most often be a wide receiver one

924
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: a wide receiver to flex or bench matt Um. This

925
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 1: one was tough. It gave me some temporal lobe damage,

926
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:36,320
Speaker 1: which is on the side of your brain. Just in

927
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 1: case you're wondering, I'm pretty sure that that's involved in

928
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 1: my short term memory, speech, musical rhythm, and some degree

929
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:46,359
Speaker 1: of smell recognition. What is that? By the way, God,

930
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: is that you know he's not the one playing playing

931
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 1: the music that you can't recognize if that's what you're asking, Um,

932
00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:58,760
Speaker 1: I can recognize that. Outside of that weird Duck Hodges game. Yeah,

933
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:03,960
Speaker 1: Juju has been okay, topping seventy five yards are scoring

934
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 1: in four of the five other games. He's running six

935
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 1: of his snaps out of the slot, which should keep

936
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 1: him locked up with lesser corners the rest of the way,

937
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:15,040
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of good matchups for him, including Miami, Indie,

938
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: Cleveland twice, Arizona, Cincinnati, and the Jets. I feel like

939
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:21,440
Speaker 1: his image is taking a hit and people are viewing

940
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 1: him as a wide receiver too right now, but I

941
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:25,479
Speaker 1: think he has a good chance of returning wide receiver

942
00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 1: one number. So I think he's a good trade candidate. Okay,

943
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:30,800
Speaker 1: but wide receiver one is your answer question. Okay, just

944
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 1: want to be clear on that. Scott is Juju Smith

945
00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 1: Schuster a wide receiver one wide receiver to flex or bench.

946
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:42,799
Speaker 1: I'm going wide receiver to in uh. In the three

947
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:47,439
Speaker 1: games where he was healthy, he went five, four, three,

948
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 1: one and seven seven or seven for seventy five, scoring

949
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,880
Speaker 1: in two of them. The other game where he was

950
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:56,479
Speaker 1: hurt with the toe and and Mason Rudolph even said

951
00:51:56,480 --> 00:51:58,760
Speaker 1: after the game, thanks to the wide receivers for stepping

952
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:03,319
Speaker 1: up with who heard he played less slaps than normal.

953
00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,479
Speaker 1: That was his bad game. His other games seventy plus

954
00:52:06,520 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 1: and scored and twice of them twice scored twice out

955
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:11,239
Speaker 1: of those three. So I'm going wide receiver too. I

956
00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 1: think that's more likely for for the rest of the season. Yeah, Rudolf,

957
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 1: I don't have a lot to add to what you

958
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 1: guys had here. Rudolph isn't half bad. He's played two

959
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:20,359
Speaker 1: full games and long parts of two others. Scored seven

960
00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 1: times in two full games and parts of two others.

961
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:25,320
Speaker 1: That's that's rock solid numbers right there. And you know,

962
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:28,280
Speaker 1: just watching him play guy I can play the position.

963
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be okay. And you know, the best,

964
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 1: the best receivers ultimately get fed, and that's Juju. And

965
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 1: if you're a young quarterback like Mason Rudolph, who better

966
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:40,520
Speaker 1: to throw the ball to than Juju Smith Schuster. The

967
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:42,840
Speaker 1: only question is is he a wide receiver one or

968
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:44,800
Speaker 1: wide receiver two? The rest of the way, I just

969
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 1: you know, we've not been I like Mason Rudolph, but

970
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:49,399
Speaker 1: he's not been Roethlisberger. He's not gonna return wide receiver

971
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 1: one numbers, but I think wide receiver two sounds just

972
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:55,440
Speaker 1: about perfect. Let's go to our one more matchup for

973
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:59,879
Speaker 1: this segment, and it is the Jets taking on Jacksonville Sky.

974
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:02,839
Speaker 1: It's it's gonna take a lot of guts to start

975
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:05,279
Speaker 1: Jets after the way things have gone, and especially last

976
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 1: week against the Patriots. But the opportunity here is far better,

977
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:10,880
Speaker 1: I know, And I told people to pick up Donald

978
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 1: for after the Patriots' right, I think he's gotten okay

979
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:20,280
Speaker 1: match up here, but it's it is a really tough start.

980
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:22,879
Speaker 1: I know that he had trouble last week. He looked

981
00:53:22,920 --> 00:53:26,800
Speaker 1: good at the game before against Dallas. Uh only but

982
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 1: only one team has allowed uh this sorry, this Jaguars

983
00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:34,040
Speaker 1: team has allowed three hundred plus two both Flacco and Mariota.

984
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 1: Ken me Thomas to be healthy and he might need

985
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: to lean on Crowder if not. I have a barely

986
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:44,760
Speaker 1: a C grade on Donald here, so yes, start almost.

987
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 1: I almost want to bench him, but I'm giving him

988
00:53:47,160 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 1: a C grade. I'm trusting it, and then I want

989
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 1: to start him in a bunch of games going forward.

990
00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:57,359
Speaker 1: Uh Anderson, ah Man, Robbie Anderson, assuming Robbie Anderson does

991
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:02,359
Speaker 1: not traded on Sunday morning. Yeah, Rob Robbie Anderson. I'm

992
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 1: I'm probably also starting. It's gonna be a tough one

993
00:54:04,960 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 1: against boy. I'm giving him a C grade. Um, but

994
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 1: he's gonna draw some tough coverage with a J boy.

995
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 1: I am well, I am probably benching Crowder though, and Thomas.

996
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 1: I know Donald's gonna get his yards, but it might

997
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:19,360
Speaker 1: it might be moved around, and it might be some

998
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:22,520
Speaker 1: of bell Um. The problem with Crowder is his targets

999
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 1: went from seventeen to nine to five. I know the

1000
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:30,720
Speaker 1: average looks good, but the trend doesn't. But the trend doesn't,

1001
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:33,640
Speaker 1: So I'm benching him, and I'm benching Thomas who is hurt.

1002
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:38,160
Speaker 1: Herndon maybe might not go, but if he does, I'm

1003
00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:41,439
Speaker 1: I'm not starting him in his first game. Bell Derrick

1004
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 1: Kennedy's game last year broke the Jaguars. Just in the

1005
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 1: last three three games, the Jags are allowing a hundred

1006
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:48,439
Speaker 1: and fifty eight total yards per game to running backs

1007
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:51,960
Speaker 1: five point eight yards per carry over the last three games.

1008
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 1: Um and that includes a Bengals game where mixing in

1009
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 1: geo combined for eight yards. So somehow the other two

1010
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 1: the beggars of Bengal offensive line couldn't do anything against them.

1011
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 1: But the other games, I have more trust in Bell

1012
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:06,759
Speaker 1: than that. They have allowed a hundred plus total yards

1013
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:09,000
Speaker 1: to running backs in weeks five and seven, and with

1014
00:55:09,080 --> 00:55:11,919
Speaker 1: the Jets it's pretty much all Bell, So I'm giving

1015
00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:14,479
Speaker 1: him a B grade there. Yeah. On the other side,

1016
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:18,320
Speaker 1: Minshew is getting the bench against the Jets. The lusters

1017
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 1: just kind of come off. He has barely thrown for

1018
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 1: two yards, just one touchdown his last two games. He's

1019
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:28,680
Speaker 1: basically Mitchell Trabiskie now. It's how he's playing, how he's

1020
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:32,280
Speaker 1: playing now. The Jets have only allowed six passing touchdowns

1021
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 1: in six games, and three of those were Tom Brady,

1022
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:38,279
Speaker 1: so so there's not much work there for But I'm

1023
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 1: still giving his main guy, d J. Chark a C grade.

1024
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 1: Um uh Marshawn Lattimore did shut him down, but he'll

1025
00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,760
Speaker 1: get Tremaine Johnson, who just gave up a score to Dorset.

1026
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:51,840
Speaker 1: I think he might just get enough work. I'm benching

1027
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:55,759
Speaker 1: d d uh four net though a grade here. I

1028
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 1: think it's a smash spot for Leonard four net. Touchdown

1029
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:01,879
Speaker 1: regression is coming in. The Jets have allowed the most

1030
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:04,760
Speaker 1: touchdowns to running backs in the NFL, allowing six different

1031
00:56:04,840 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 1: running ruining backs to score. He's averaging twenty four point

1032
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 1: six touches per game, but it's just the one touchdown

1033
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 1: top ten and carries inside the ten, but just two

1034
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:16,960
Speaker 1: carries inside the five. If he starts getting that work,

1035
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna start scoring. And I think that this is

1036
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 1: the spot makes sense. This might be a good time

1037
00:56:21,160 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 1: to trade for Leonard four net between between now and

1038
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:26,719
Speaker 1: kick off, because I get the feeling that you're right.

1039
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 1: The touchdowns are going to come because of all the

1040
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,279
Speaker 1: use and the success he's having everywhere but the end zone.

1041
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:34,960
Speaker 1: It's probably coming. Of course, the groin injuries also probably

1042
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,399
Speaker 1: coming for Leonard four net. So there's that. Every week,

00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:03,440
Speaker 1: McCaffrey in a brutally tough matchup here, Niners run defense

1064
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 1: not quite as nominating as its past defense, but it's

1065
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:09,440
Speaker 1: still very good. Opponents are running at four yards per carry.

1066
00:58:09,760 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 1: No back has stopped eighty seven rushing yards or thirty

1067
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:16,080
Speaker 1: three passing yards. I get the feeling McCaffrey is so good.

1068
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:18,400
Speaker 1: Maybe he gets the eighty seven rushing yards and the

1069
00:58:18,480 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 1: thirty three receiving yards, which you give him a hundred

1070
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 1: yard game, and of particular salience to McCaffrey. Niners ranked

1071
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:28,720
Speaker 1: number one against running back receptions, number one against running

1072
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:32,760
Speaker 1: back receiving yards, number one against running back receiving touchdowns

1073
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:38,040
Speaker 1: with zero I gotta have a B grade a McCaffrey

1074
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 1: center with the guts to give him a C grade

1075
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 1: because he's just so good. But it's a brutal matchup.

1076
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 1: All of the passing game is on the bench. Only

1077
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 1: the Patriots have allowed fewer fantasy points to passers than

1078
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 1: the Niners. They ranked number one in passing yards, allowed

1079
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:55,440
Speaker 1: one hundred fifty five passing yards per game. They're allowing

1080
00:58:55,880 --> 00:59:00,400
Speaker 1: zero point eight passing touchdowns per game. That's it. And

1081
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:03,919
Speaker 1: get this, I can't even believe this stat. The last

1082
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:07,680
Speaker 1: three quarterbacks to face the Niners have thrown for one

1083
00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:12,480
Speaker 1: hundred yards or less three straight How do you do that?

1084
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 1: It's It's nuts. So Kyle Allen in the whole passing

1085
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:18,480
Speaker 1: game on the bench. Let's go to the San Francisco

1086
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 1: side instead, where things are a little bit more interesting,

1087
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 1: and beginning with the running backs. Tevin Coleman gets a

1088
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 1: B grade. Here, forts continue to lead the NFL in

1089
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 1: run ratio, and since Coleman's returned from injury, he's the

1090
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:33,200
Speaker 1: only Niners back with a carry inside the five yard line.

1091
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 1: He will get the touchdowns that are to be had here. Meanwhile,

1092
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 1: the Panthers have been very yielding inside the five yard line.

1093
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:42,960
Speaker 1: They've given up six touchdowns on nine carries from inside

1094
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 1: the five. I liked Tevin Coleman with a B grade.

1095
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:48,320
Speaker 1: Matt Brita gets a C grade. He'll have to score

1096
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:51,960
Speaker 1: from distance. Conversely, then, his snaps have decreased each week

1097
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 1: over the last month, which is troubling to me because

1098
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:57,440
Speaker 1: Brita is good. He'll need to score from distance. As

1099
00:59:57,440 --> 01:00:00,560
Speaker 1: I mentioned both the Rams and Texans. Dams had at

1100
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:03,600
Speaker 1: least fifty rushing yards against Carolina, and maybe that's the

1101
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:05,720
Speaker 1: case here. So maybe we get the fifty ish rushing

1102
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:08,960
Speaker 1: yards and maybe Brita breaks one. Maybe C grade on

1103
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:12,520
Speaker 1: Matt Brita. Let's go to the passing game. Last time

1104
01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 1: we saw the Panthers, they were picking off Jameis Winston

1105
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:19,440
Speaker 1: five times. Last time we saw Garoppolo, he was slogging

1106
01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:22,280
Speaker 1: through a monsoon in Washington and hadn't thrown a touchdown

1107
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 1: in two games. I think it's your second quarterback. I

1108
01:00:25,480 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 1: like Jimmy Garoppolo. I've got a C grade on him

1109
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:30,840
Speaker 1: here with a low ceiling. Panthers have allowed four hundred

1110
01:00:31,280 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 1: and three hundred seventy four passing yards the past two weeks.

1111
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 1: That's a lot of passing yards. So if he can

1112
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 1: get the repetitions, I like Garoppolo here, but he never

1113
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:42,720
Speaker 1: gets that much work and that's the whole problem for him,

1114
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 1: his volume opposing every opposing quarterback has scored against the Panthers.

1115
01:00:47,160 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 1: I think he gets one ish touch down in this game.

1116
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 1: We talked about Emmanuel Sanders in detail uh in the

1117
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 1: in the previous segment, Broncos were running a Shanahan style system.

1118
01:00:59,880 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 1: I think he gets enough us here that you can

1119
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:04,000
Speaker 1: consider him as a dart throw, but he won't be

1120
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:06,720
Speaker 1: on the field every play. And maybe the bigger issue

1121
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:09,720
Speaker 1: here is that elite cornerback James Bradberry could end up

1122
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 1: shadowing Sanders because why not, who else are you gonna shadow?

1123
01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:16,320
Speaker 1: And Bradbury hasn't a lot of touchdown and is giving

1124
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 1: up a passer rating of forty two his coverage that

1125
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:22,400
Speaker 1: is nothing. So in fact, you know what, let's put

1126
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 1: Sanders on the bench. I'm changing my mind. George Kittle

1127
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 1: gets a B tough draw though he hasn't Caroline has

1128
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 1: not allowed more than four catches or fifty seven yards

1129
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:34,000
Speaker 1: to any tight end this year, Panthers allowing just three

1130
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 1: and thirty seven to the position on a per game basis.

1131
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 1: That said, Caroline isn't facing a good tight ends and

1132
01:01:40,040 --> 01:01:42,480
Speaker 1: certainly nobody a Kittles level either, So maybe they can

1133
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:44,560
Speaker 1: get something done after all, And I'm keeping him up

1134
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 1: as a B grade because George Kettle is good. The

1135
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:52,360
Speaker 1: Giants take on Detroit, Matt and Daniel Jones coming off

1136
01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:55,920
Speaker 1: a lousy game. Last time we saw him do you

1137
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:59,320
Speaker 1: like him better here against the Lions. I mean the

1138
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:01,640
Speaker 1: Lions deep it hasn't been very good and they did

1139
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:06,760
Speaker 1: just trade starting safety Quandre Digs to the Seahawks earlier

1140
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:09,440
Speaker 1: this week, so that bodes well for Daniel Jones. But

1141
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:12,120
Speaker 1: I can probably still only give him a C grade. UM.

1142
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 1: I am giving Golden Tate to the B grade in

1143
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:18,240
Speaker 1: the revenge game, his first return to Ford Field. The

1144
01:02:18,360 --> 01:02:21,320
Speaker 1: Vikings receivers put up two seven yards and two touchdowns

1145
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 1: last week against the secondary. Tate has turned in back

1146
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 1: to back six catch performances, topping eight yards in each

1147
01:02:27,720 --> 01:02:30,080
Speaker 1: contest and adding a score in there. And with Sterling

1148
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:33,120
Speaker 1: Shepherd trending toward missing another week, Tate is in line

1149
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:35,080
Speaker 1: to lead the way as the favorite target of Daniel

1150
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 1: Jones again. Plus Lion slot corner Justin Coleman has allowed

1151
01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:42,520
Speaker 1: a league high five touchdowns in his coverage this year. UM,

1152
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:46,520
Speaker 1: I wanted to see Darius Slayton go against Darius slay

1153
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:51,880
Speaker 1: On both Darius is by the way, UM, but it

1154
01:02:51,960 --> 01:02:53,919
Speaker 1: doesn't look like Darius slay is going to go. In fact,

1155
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 1: I believe he has been ruled out. It's a huge

1156
01:02:57,120 --> 01:02:59,920
Speaker 1: loss for that secondary. Slay by far their best cornerback,

1157
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:02,440
Speaker 1: and you saw what happened with Stefon Diggs once Sleigh

1158
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:05,400
Speaker 1: left the game last week, Diggs eight that secondary alive.

1159
01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:08,520
Speaker 1: The problem is is Slaton only had two targets last week,

1160
01:03:08,560 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 1: and I'm just nervous that he won't be part of

1161
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 1: the game plan. Se Kuon Barkley gets an A and

1162
01:03:12,360 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 1: their last three contest the Lions have allowed an average

1163
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:18,000
Speaker 1: of nearly one thirty rushing yards and forty four receiving

1164
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 1: yards and seven running back touchdowns in three weeks. Dan

1165
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 1: is gonna eat this week. Uh that that great rush

1166
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 1: defense for the Detroit Lions is no more? Uh? I

1167
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:31,880
Speaker 1: forgot to mention Evan Ingram, who gets an A. Lines

1168
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 1: have allowed over a hundred yards per game to the

1169
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:35,880
Speaker 1: tight end position over the last three weeks. I don't

1170
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:39,560
Speaker 1: think you forgot. You just saved the best some eight

1171
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:42,200
Speaker 1: grades there. Um. On the other side, I talked about

1172
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:44,200
Speaker 1: j D. Mckissic as might take a chance on me

1173
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 1: running back. Let's talk about Ty Johnson, who I'm giving

1174
01:03:47,120 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 1: a C grade two. Fair warning, the Lions aren't a

1175
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 1: good running team. Despite Darryl Bevel being there with carry on,

1176
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:57,480
Speaker 1: they only averaged three point seven yards per carry as

1177
01:03:57,520 --> 01:04:00,480
Speaker 1: a group and only had two rushing touchdowns on the season,

1178
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:02,880
Speaker 1: and when carry On went on, I r last year,

1179
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:07,000
Speaker 1: La Garrett Blunt, Zack Zenter and theo Ritic each had

1180
01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:10,440
Speaker 1: double digit touches in games. Over the final six weeks

1181
01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:13,120
Speaker 1: they went to a time share. I think that's what's

1182
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:15,760
Speaker 1: gonna happen again. If you're buying in on Tie being

1183
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 1: a pseudo bell cow, this would be a great place

1184
01:04:18,920 --> 01:04:21,200
Speaker 1: to play him, as the Giants have allowed two leadbacks

1185
01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:24,120
Speaker 1: to top rushing yards in the last three weeks. But

1186
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 1: I'm not buying in that. He's the lead dog here,

1187
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:29,920
Speaker 1: so he only gets a C grade. Matthew Stafford is

1188
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:32,480
Speaker 1: getting a B. He was dealing last week against the Vikings,

1189
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 1: going for three sixty four and four. Normally we don't

1190
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:38,520
Speaker 1: advise you to chase numbers, but the lines just continued

1191
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 1: to pass after Carryon went out with the injury, and

1192
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:43,240
Speaker 1: the Giants have allowed four different quarterbacks to top the

1193
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:45,960
Speaker 1: three yard mark this season. Thank Stafford's in line for

1194
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:48,720
Speaker 1: a good game. His main target last week was Marvin Jones,

1195
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:51,400
Speaker 1: who had four touchdowns. I'm giving him a B grade,

1196
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:54,640
Speaker 1: and jones last four touchdown game was the historic John

1197
01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:57,600
Speaker 1: Tuvey take a chance on me moment in October of

1198
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:02,240
Speaker 1: Maybe it's worth noting that he followed up that October

1199
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:05,280
Speaker 1: game with a four catch for sixty six yards the

1200
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:09,280
Speaker 1: following leg but it's probably not worth it. Um square

1201
01:05:09,320 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 1: off against the giants best cornerback option, Generous Jenkins, But

1202
01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:16,400
Speaker 1: Jenkins has allowed three touchdowns in his coverage this season,

1203
01:05:16,440 --> 01:05:18,920
Speaker 1: so Jones just been awful. He's just the best of

1204
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:21,640
Speaker 1: the world. He's the best of the lousiest, kind of

1205
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:24,640
Speaker 1: like the common man, you know, um Kenny Golladay. I'm

1206
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:26,080
Speaker 1: giving him an A grade, though it's gonna be a

1207
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:28,720
Speaker 1: big bounce back weak for Golliday after it disappointing two

1208
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:32,200
Speaker 1: targets against the Vikings. He faces quite possibly the worst

1209
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:35,800
Speaker 1: cover corner in the NFL. That's DeAndre Baker, who's already

1210
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 1: allowed four d nine yards and three touches in his

1211
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:40,720
Speaker 1: coverage of this season. Both of those marks are bottom

1212
01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:44,120
Speaker 1: six in the league. Finally, t J. Hockenson gets a

1213
01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:46,680
Speaker 1: C grade, and it's not a really great C grade.

1214
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:50,240
Speaker 1: Hasn't topped four catches or thirty two yards since Week one.

1215
01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:53,880
Speaker 1: Remember the Week one t J. Hockenson where Pipe Ben

1216
01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:57,800
Speaker 1: it's been gone. The Giants haven't allowed a tight end

1217
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:01,120
Speaker 1: score since Week two, so he's pretty much a bench

1218
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:04,640
Speaker 1: and less sorely needed. Yeah, we talked earlier about some

1219
01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:07,200
Speaker 1: of the tight end options you could go with. Cameron

1220
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:12,080
Speaker 1: Bright is probably a better play in all probability. Uh,

1221
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 1: let's um, let's see would sneak in one more matchup

1222
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 1: into this segment. Cleveland taking on New England. It's really

1223
01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:21,320
Speaker 1: it's a must win game from a record standpoint for Cleveland,

1224
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 1: which comes at a really bad times. They got the

1225
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:26,280
Speaker 1: Patriots coming. Yeah, exactly. Basically the whole Cleveland team is

1226
01:06:26,320 --> 01:06:29,280
Speaker 1: on the bench against the Uh, there's one I'm gonna start,

1227
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 1: but against this, right it is? It is? Yeah, Mayfield,

1228
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:35,560
Speaker 1: you'd only play if you're in like some kind of

1229
01:06:35,640 --> 01:06:38,880
Speaker 1: race to the bottom league leading interception league. O. B

1230
01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 1: J is gonna face Gilmore. He at thirty eight yards

1231
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:44,160
Speaker 1: last time against Gilmore. No wide receiver to face Gilmore

1232
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 1: has finished as a top twenty four wide receiver this year,

1233
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 1: and he shadows every opposing team receiver. Right but chub

1234
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:52,880
Speaker 1: New England very very tough against the run, fewest rush

1235
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:56,360
Speaker 1: attempts allowed, hasn't allowed of running back, touchdown, etcetera, etcetera.

1236
01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:58,560
Speaker 1: But Chup's getting the ball twenty two times a game.

1237
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:01,520
Speaker 1: He's probably going to be a C start on volume alone,

1238
01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:04,560
Speaker 1: he's gonna make a little bit of something happen. He's

1239
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:07,200
Speaker 1: one of the better backs. They probably the best back

1240
01:07:07,320 --> 01:07:10,480
Speaker 1: that they will if that's true. On the other side, Brady,

1241
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:13,160
Speaker 1: I'm given a B grade that he's averaging thirty nine

1242
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:16,800
Speaker 1: pass attempts per game. It's hard and they're never behind.

1243
01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:20,040
Speaker 1: That's the funny thing. That's what's Yeah, it's crazy. The

1244
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:25,919
Speaker 1: Patriots never need to pass ever, and they're passing times

1245
01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:28,800
Speaker 1: a game. Their offense is just always on the field

1246
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:32,240
Speaker 1: because of that defense. Luke falk is the only quarterback

1247
01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:35,880
Speaker 1: who didn't throw multiple touchdowns against the brown seemed to

1248
01:07:35,920 --> 01:07:38,800
Speaker 1: be bringing up up a lot um, so I gotta

1249
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:41,880
Speaker 1: be grade on Brady Edelman questionable with the chest injury,

1250
01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:44,560
Speaker 1: should go seeing nearly ten targets per games, so I'm

1251
01:07:44,560 --> 01:07:47,000
Speaker 1: giving him an A grade. Only two wide receivers had

1252
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:48,960
Speaker 1: nine or more targets against the Browns. They both went

1253
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:51,920
Speaker 1: over a hundred, So I like Edelman the rest of

1254
01:07:51,920 --> 01:07:54,440
Speaker 1: the wide receivers, especially now with some new there, I'm

1255
01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:56,280
Speaker 1: kind of benching. I'm not sure where it's gonna go.

1256
01:07:57,080 --> 01:08:01,520
Speaker 1: Williams comes backward, Award comes back, Yeah, exactly, that really

1257
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:04,240
Speaker 1: changes things. Watson saw five targets last week, but I

1258
01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:06,320
Speaker 1: don't know if that's going to stay consistent. But the

1259
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:09,480
Speaker 1: running backs A grade from Michelle, B grade for White.

1260
01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:11,880
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I guess who leads the NFL and carries

1261
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:15,320
Speaker 1: inside the five. That's Tony Michelle, because that's the only

1262
01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 1: thing he can do is score from the one. He's trustworthy,

1263
01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:23,080
Speaker 1: so trustworthy. Over the last three weeks, the Brown said

1264
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:26,559
Speaker 1: the worst run defense against fantasy running backs, second most attempts,

1265
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:28,920
Speaker 1: most trusting yards, most total yards in the league's worst

1266
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:32,320
Speaker 1: six point two yards per gary. Over that span, they

1267
01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:34,439
Speaker 1: have allowed four running back touchdowns over that spent there's

1268
01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:38,000
Speaker 1: still over five yards per carry on the season. And White, Uh,

1269
01:08:38,120 --> 01:08:41,120
Speaker 1: he's second in receptions in the NFL behind Michael Thomas.

1270
01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:44,840
Speaker 1: Right now, he's getting so much work. Nine targets of game.

1271
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:46,280
Speaker 1: So I have a B grade on him. Yeah. I

1272
01:08:46,360 --> 01:08:48,519
Speaker 1: like that angle right there. That's that makes a ton

1273
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:51,120
Speaker 1: of sense. Our final topics are ahead. When we provide

1285
01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:00,720
Speaker 1: waiver wire pick up next we that you will want

1286
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:04,840
Speaker 1: to go get this week to frustrate those owners who

1287
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:07,800
Speaker 1: are a little behind the curve. They're trying to pick

1288
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:13,759
Speaker 1: that guy up and blammo, he's already on your team

1289
01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:16,680
Speaker 1: because you use our time machine. Do we need to

1290
01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:20,600
Speaker 1: say and do the time machine? Yeah? I think that

1291
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:26,439
Speaker 1: helps if you don't mind doing both. Let's begin with Matt,

1292
01:10:26,479 --> 01:10:32,080
Speaker 1: who's your premature speculation player. Going back to Ted Gain again,

1293
01:10:33,120 --> 01:10:36,000
Speaker 1: He's got a really good matchup this week against the Cardinals,

1294
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:38,400
Speaker 1: which I might have mentioned before, so people might wise

1295
01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:40,759
Speaker 1: up to him if he goes off in this game. However,

1296
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:44,280
Speaker 1: he's going into a bye week next week, so you

1297
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:45,920
Speaker 1: might even be able to pick him up next week.

1298
01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:48,600
Speaker 1: That should suppress his ownership just a little bit. But

1299
01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:54,280
Speaker 1: after that his ownerships already pretty it's some ninety So

1300
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 1: after that he gets Drew Brees back, and then he

1301
01:10:56,520 --> 01:11:02,800
Speaker 1: has four straight quality matchups Atlanta, Tampa Carolina, then Atlanta again,

1302
01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:06,400
Speaker 1: plus a week fifteen matchup against the Colts. That's a

1303
01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:09,479
Speaker 1: fantasy playoff one there. The Colts having farewell against the

1304
01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 1: past either, especially against wide receivers. So it's kind of

1305
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:14,640
Speaker 1: a nice little speculative ad. I mean, if you get

1306
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:16,680
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas in a trade, that's great, But if you

1307
01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:21,400
Speaker 1: can't get Gas free, Ted Gins free. Yeah, alright, uh,

1308
01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:26,320
Speaker 1: let's let's go to Scott Fish, your premature speculation player. Sure,

1309
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:29,240
Speaker 1: I'm going with Jalen Samuel's. He was supposed to be

1310
01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:31,559
Speaker 1: out for four to six weeks with the knee injury.

1311
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:35,320
Speaker 1: He practiced in full on Thursday and Friday. He has

1312
01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:38,439
Speaker 1: Miami on Monday night, and if he does anything against Miami,

1313
01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:41,479
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna try to pick him up next week. And

1314
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:44,400
Speaker 1: by the way, the number two running back always does

1315
01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:49,000
Speaker 1: something against Miami exactly, and James Connor h illness week one,

1316
01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:52,080
Speaker 1: knee injury, weeks two through three, ankle injury weeks fourth

1317
01:11:52,120 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 1: through five, quad injury weeks three. At some point one

1318
01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:58,559
Speaker 1: of these might catch up with him, and Jalen Samuels

1319
01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:00,519
Speaker 1: might be your starter for Pittsburgh, So you get the

1320
01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:03,400
Speaker 1: Miami matchup if you do it now, like before people

1321
01:12:03,479 --> 01:12:07,240
Speaker 1: realize he's healthy again. Earlier in this show, what did

1322
01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:11,240
Speaker 1: you tell our listeners about Gardner Minshew Scott He's starting

1323
01:12:11,280 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 1: to turn into Mitch Robisky map or he's pump He's

1324
01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:17,559
Speaker 1: pumpkin ing on pumpkin in on us right now, right

1325
01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:22,280
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew is turning into Gardner Minshew. Nick Foles returning

1326
01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:25,960
Speaker 1: to practice. If you now, I know, I know that

1327
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:27,720
Speaker 1: if you're in a one quarterback league, you don't have

1328
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:29,080
Speaker 1: to go all the way down to Nick Foles or

1329
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:32,519
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew. But increasingly we're playing QB flex from playing

1330
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:36,320
Speaker 1: in two quarterback leagues. Nick Foles has returned. The timetable

1331
01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:38,920
Speaker 1: is approaching right now, and if Minshew is going to

1332
01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:41,360
Speaker 1: continue to look like a backup, I think Nick Foles

1333
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:43,320
Speaker 1: is gonna be your starter before long Nick Foles won

1334
01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:45,880
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl? Did he really? I would love to

1335
01:12:45,920 --> 01:12:48,160
Speaker 1: hear all about that. I saw it. It was cool,

1336
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:50,760
Speaker 1: It was it cool. I watched that game too. A

1337
01:12:50,840 --> 01:12:54,080
Speaker 1: lot of people watch that game. Was there? It was okay?

1338
01:12:55,080 --> 01:12:58,679
Speaker 1: Had you enjoyed watching the Eagles score in the Viking Stadium?

1339
01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:01,000
Speaker 1: After the Eagles knocked the Viking out of the playoffs.

1340
01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:05,200
Speaker 1: We got revenge on him last week. That makes up

1341
01:13:05,240 --> 01:13:07,400
Speaker 1: for it. I'm sure. Let's get back to our matchups,

1342
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:11,599
Speaker 1: beginning with Green Bay taking on the Kansas City Chiefs.

1343
01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:14,080
Speaker 1: That is me so get this. Patrick Mahomes is out

1344
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:16,680
Speaker 1: of this game. But also for the Chiefs, out of

1345
01:13:16,760 --> 01:13:19,920
Speaker 1: this game two member to two best members of their

1346
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:24,719
Speaker 1: defensive line, Frank Clark and Chris Jones. Also, they're starting

1347
01:13:24,760 --> 01:13:28,320
Speaker 1: cornerback Kendall Fuller. Also they're starting left tackle Eric Fisher.

1348
01:13:28,439 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 1: Also they're starting left guard Andrew Wiley. I thought for

1349
01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:34,640
Speaker 1: sure those guys, the two offensive linement would be back

1350
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:37,920
Speaker 1: after the ten days off. No dice. That has really

1351
01:13:38,040 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 1: suppressed the outcome and the of what's going to happen.

1352
01:13:42,080 --> 01:13:44,400
Speaker 1: I think for the Chiefs, and I like the Packers

1353
01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:46,640
Speaker 1: a lot more. Let's start on the Packers side with

1354
01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:50,000
Speaker 1: this where I've got a B grade on Aaron Rodgers. Now,

1355
01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:51,840
Speaker 1: I know he had six touchdowns last week, and so

1356
01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:54,120
Speaker 1: you're automatically thinking about why wouldn't be an A grade.

1357
01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:59,240
Speaker 1: But as a reminder, before the six touchdown game in

1358
01:13:59,360 --> 01:14:02,599
Speaker 1: the eleven than games before that, he was averaging one

1359
01:14:02,640 --> 01:14:07,000
Speaker 1: point two touchdown passes. It's very unlikely Davante Adams goes

1360
01:14:07,040 --> 01:14:09,439
Speaker 1: in this one. He is doubtful for this game. So

1361
01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:11,519
Speaker 1: I'm still showing a little bit of caution your plus,

1362
01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:15,679
Speaker 1: five of the seven opposing quarterbacks to face Kansas City

1363
01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:19,920
Speaker 1: have thrown zero or one touchdown. Five out of seven.

1364
01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:24,439
Speaker 1: Nobody has top two yards since the opener. I think

1365
01:14:24,479 --> 01:14:25,800
Speaker 1: you're you know, you're gonna have to make It's a

1366
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:27,840
Speaker 1: Sunday night game. You're gonna have to make your decision

1367
01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:30,200
Speaker 1: on Rodgers before you have a final word, probably on

1368
01:14:30,280 --> 01:14:32,120
Speaker 1: Davante Adams, but you can presume he's not gonna know.

1369
01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:34,320
Speaker 1: I think the game script here is also gonna point

1370
01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:36,720
Speaker 1: towards the Runners, and so just the B grade on

1371
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:38,960
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers, which I know is going to frustrate some people.

1372
01:14:39,280 --> 01:14:42,400
Speaker 1: Marquez Valdes Scantling gets a B grade. As well as

1373
01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:44,200
Speaker 1: one of the fastest players in the league. You saw

1374
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:47,040
Speaker 1: that long distance touchdown the seventy five yard or last week.

1375
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:52,200
Speaker 1: Um I like his frequent matchup against stone footed cornerback,

1376
01:14:52,360 --> 01:14:55,960
Speaker 1: but Shod Breland Scaling is a four three guy, Brian

1377
01:14:56,240 --> 01:14:58,799
Speaker 1: a four six guy. There are many four six cornerbacks

1378
01:14:58,840 --> 01:15:01,080
Speaker 1: even in the league. And also Breedland, by the way,

1379
01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:04,840
Speaker 1: ranks one first at his position by Pro Football Focus.

1380
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:12,120
Speaker 1: Marques Valdez Scantling also getting a starting grade. Geronimo Allison.

1381
01:15:12,479 --> 01:15:15,880
Speaker 1: Why because Kendall Fuller's out, that's your slock cornerback. So

1382
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:19,960
Speaker 1: Allison becomes a dart throw the backup behind Kendall Fuller.

1383
01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:26,559
Speaker 1: Rashad Fenton, a six round rookie, was zero career starts,

1384
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:32,639
Speaker 1: So Geronimo Allison dart throw starter in this one moving

1385
01:15:32,720 --> 01:15:34,439
Speaker 1: oh and Jimmy Graham before I get off of the

1386
01:15:34,439 --> 01:15:36,760
Speaker 1: passing game entirely for the Packers, Jimmy Graham gets a

1387
01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:40,400
Speaker 1: B grade. Kansas City is allowing seven catches and sixty

1388
01:15:40,439 --> 01:15:43,200
Speaker 1: plus yards per game to tight ends. You take out

1389
01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:45,880
Speaker 1: last week's game against Denver where no offense dropped everything

1390
01:15:45,920 --> 01:15:47,920
Speaker 1: in the Chiefs are allowing eight catches and seventy two

1391
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 1: yards per game to tight ends. So I think Jimmy

1392
01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:52,040
Speaker 1: Graham gets in the action. You can start him as well.

1393
01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:55,040
Speaker 1: Now let's go to the runners, who I love in

1394
01:15:55,080 --> 01:15:57,599
Speaker 1: this matchup, and they are going to run themselves to victory.

1395
01:15:57,680 --> 01:15:59,680
Speaker 1: I think pretty easily for the Packers in this one.

1396
01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:03,120
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones with a solid A grade. I think you've

1397
01:16:03,160 --> 01:16:05,120
Speaker 1: got him as my number three running back this week.

1398
01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:08,840
Speaker 1: Even with Williams healthy and effective, Jones remains the lead

1399
01:16:08,920 --> 01:16:12,479
Speaker 1: dog in this offense. Offensive coordinator's dream of matchups where

1400
01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:14,080
Speaker 1: you can get five yards per carry, and that's what

1401
01:16:14,160 --> 01:16:16,719
Speaker 1: Kansas City is giving up is five per carry. Aaron

1402
01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:19,360
Speaker 1: Jones is supposed to double digit rushes in every game,

1403
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:22,120
Speaker 1: and his use in the passing game is spiking sharply

1404
01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:24,360
Speaker 1: over the past several games. I like that as well.

1405
01:16:24,640 --> 01:16:26,719
Speaker 1: He has scored in five of the last six games.

1406
01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:29,800
Speaker 1: This is a great opportunity for Aaron Jones, but that

1407
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:32,400
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you can't start Jamal Williams as well. I

1408
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:35,320
Speaker 1: like him too. Often when Kansas City has been has

1409
01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:37,880
Speaker 1: faced a one two punch of runners, both guys have

1410
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:41,960
Speaker 1: gotten paid. Baltimore had two runners get paid. Houston had

1411
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:45,559
Speaker 1: to Indy had to In all of three of those cases,

1412
01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:50,240
Speaker 1: first and second runners had solid Fantasy days Against Kansas City.

1413
01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:52,439
Speaker 1: We've seen Jamal Williams get these out of the blue

1414
01:16:52,520 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 1: heavy carry games Kansas City again giving a five yards

1415
01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:58,160
Speaker 1: per carry, So why wouldn't this Why couldn't this be

1416
01:16:58,240 --> 01:17:00,439
Speaker 1: one of them? Start Jamal Williams too with a grade

1417
01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:03,840
Speaker 1: With Davante Adams out, some of you might be tempted

1418
01:17:03,880 --> 01:17:06,320
Speaker 1: to roll the dice on Jake Cumro or Alan Lazard.

1419
01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:08,280
Speaker 1: They split time between each other, and I don't think

1420
01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:09,880
Speaker 1: I want to go quite that far down and already

1421
01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:12,400
Speaker 1: give starting grades like nineteen different packers, so I'm not

1422
01:17:12,439 --> 01:17:14,479
Speaker 1: going that far all right. So now let's go to

1423
01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:17,200
Speaker 1: the Kansas City side. So Kansas City again, they're gonna

1424
01:17:17,240 --> 01:17:19,200
Speaker 1: be with a backup quarterback, without their left tackle and

1425
01:17:19,360 --> 01:17:23,760
Speaker 1: without their left guard, so obviously everybody gets punished, uh

1426
01:17:23,840 --> 01:17:26,280
Speaker 1: in this start. Originally at the beginning of the week,

1427
01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:28,200
Speaker 1: I like le Shan McCoy a lot more, but when

1428
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:29,680
Speaker 1: I thought he was gonna have an offensive line and

1429
01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:32,640
Speaker 1: you beat the backers on the ground. But I'm i

1430
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:35,880
Speaker 1: gotta be I gotta show some concern here without without

1431
01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:39,200
Speaker 1: the starting left guard and tackle. So even though I

1432
01:17:39,240 --> 01:17:41,680
Speaker 1: think they want to get Lashan mc McCoy going, and

1433
01:17:41,760 --> 01:17:43,720
Speaker 1: I think you'll get plenty of carries, and then the

1434
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:47,200
Speaker 1: Packers are allowing the fifth most rushing yards per game

1435
01:17:47,320 --> 01:17:49,320
Speaker 1: and they are also giving up five yards per carry.

1436
01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:51,519
Speaker 1: I can't get more than a C grade on Leashan

1437
01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:56,120
Speaker 1: McCoy and this one, um, Damian Williams is just evaporated

1438
01:17:56,200 --> 01:17:59,600
Speaker 1: from this offense. He's on the bench, declining snap and

1439
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:03,559
Speaker 1: counts in three weeks, three straight weeks. So unless there's

1440
01:18:03,600 --> 01:18:06,360
Speaker 1: some kind of concerted effort to get Damian Williams going,

1441
01:18:06,439 --> 01:18:08,400
Speaker 1: you can't start him at this point. Let's go to

1442
01:18:08,479 --> 01:18:13,160
Speaker 1: the passing game. Matt Moore has got a wobbly C grade.

1443
01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:16,360
Speaker 1: He's got the ten days lead time to adapt to

1444
01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:18,680
Speaker 1: the starters role, and I like that part of it,

1445
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:21,640
Speaker 1: but it's and it is an inconsistent Green Bay secondary.

1446
01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:23,839
Speaker 1: Three of the past four teams to face the Packers

1447
01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:27,439
Speaker 1: have walked away with multiple touchdowns. Cornerback jere Alexander has

1448
01:18:27,439 --> 01:18:30,200
Speaker 1: allowed touchdowns in three of the past four games. And

1449
01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:33,200
Speaker 1: Andy Reid's an offensive wizard. I think he could coax

1450
01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:37,400
Speaker 1: a solid fantasy game out of more in the range

1451
01:18:37,439 --> 01:18:39,640
Speaker 1: of like two D thirty and one in one or

1452
01:18:39,680 --> 01:18:43,120
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. That sounds like about it, though. All right,

1453
01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:46,000
Speaker 1: let's let's talk about the receivers. Everybody but Tyreek Hill

1454
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:48,720
Speaker 1: is out. Uh. Tyree Hill has scored in both of

1455
01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:52,280
Speaker 1: his full healthy games. He's averaging seventy seven yards since returning,

1456
01:18:52,360 --> 01:18:55,840
Speaker 1: and his ridiculous speed makes an elite option. Despite the

1457
01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:59,559
Speaker 1: massive downgrade and quarterbacking to Matt Moore. Packers slot cornerback

1458
01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:02,360
Speaker 1: is train On Williams, who's one hundred and eight years old,

1459
01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:07,000
Speaker 1: and here's Tyreek Hill. I don't think it is true.

1460
01:19:07,040 --> 01:19:10,600
Speaker 1: We've we've checked the I D and UM so he's

1461
01:19:10,640 --> 01:19:12,360
Speaker 1: a just a B start though with Matt Moore and

1462
01:19:12,479 --> 01:19:15,599
Speaker 1: up again all the problems with the missing lineman. Travis

1463
01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:18,600
Speaker 1: Kelsey remains a startable, but only a B grade. He

1464
01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:22,200
Speaker 1: needs to block more. With Fisher and Wiley out, Kelsey

1465
01:19:22,240 --> 01:19:25,040
Speaker 1: has been held under ninety yards and without a touchdown

1466
01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:28,240
Speaker 1: for five straight games, which stinks. Green Bay is surrendered.

1467
01:19:28,240 --> 01:19:30,880
Speaker 1: Only just started three scores to Oakland's tight ends, So

1468
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:34,360
Speaker 1: there's that um. Zach Ertz is the closest quality tight

1469
01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:36,360
Speaker 1: end to face the Packers. He put up seven catches

1470
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:39,960
Speaker 1: sixty five yards. That sounds about right for for Travis

1471
01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:43,800
Speaker 1: Kelsey as well. That was a that was a lot

1472
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:48,439
Speaker 1: of talking. Get really mad that you called Darren Waller

1473
01:19:48,479 --> 01:19:51,040
Speaker 1: a quality tight end. Now that's probably true. He's probably

1474
01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:54,000
Speaker 1: should be upset about that. Uh, let's go to Miami

1475
01:19:54,160 --> 01:19:57,680
Speaker 1: taking on Pittsburgh. Matt is there anybody from Miami you

1476
01:19:57,720 --> 01:20:01,800
Speaker 1: want to start in this game? No? Um, I'm gonna

1477
01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:04,360
Speaker 1: do a lot less talking in this match. Like the

1478
01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:06,719
Speaker 1: Dolphins running backs are on the bench. It's a stupid

1479
01:20:06,800 --> 01:20:08,920
Speaker 1: time share as Mark Walton got most of the touches

1480
01:20:08,960 --> 01:20:12,120
Speaker 1: and snaps and he's not even good. Kalin Balage vulture

1481
01:20:12,160 --> 01:20:14,280
Speaker 1: to touch down near the stripe, and the Dolphins are

1482
01:20:14,280 --> 01:20:17,160
Speaker 1: trying to trade Kenyan Drake, so they may either want

1483
01:20:17,200 --> 01:20:19,760
Speaker 1: to feature him or hold him out of the game

1484
01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:23,000
Speaker 1: if a deal is near one of the two. Who knows? Uh?

1485
01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:26,480
Speaker 1: And the Steelers held the Ravens and Chargers good backfields

1486
01:20:26,880 --> 01:20:30,280
Speaker 1: to one hundred total rushing yards in the last two games.

1487
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:34,639
Speaker 1: That's fifty per game. Uh, Stu Beard. I know Scott

1488
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:37,280
Speaker 1: thinks he's like the next Bo Jackson, but he's on

1489
01:20:37,400 --> 01:20:40,040
Speaker 1: the bench. And the Dolphins wide receivers are as well.

1490
01:20:40,600 --> 01:20:44,120
Speaker 1: Williams did see six catches. That's Preston Williams for eight

1491
01:20:44,240 --> 01:20:46,680
Speaker 1: two last week. But Davante Parker was the guy who

1492
01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:49,599
Speaker 1: saw the most targets and to score. And really it's

1493
01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:52,400
Speaker 1: the Manka Fitzpatrick revenge game, that's what it is. I'm

1494
01:20:52,439 --> 01:20:56,640
Speaker 1: sure he's told the Steelers all the Dolphins tricks and secrets. Um.

1495
01:20:56,800 --> 01:20:59,479
Speaker 1: Since fitz Fitzpatrick came on the scene for the Steelers,

1496
01:20:59,760 --> 01:21:02,920
Speaker 1: no wide receiver has topped seventy two yards and Pittsburgh

1497
01:21:02,960 --> 01:21:05,280
Speaker 1: has only allowed two passing scores to white outs in

1498
01:21:05,320 --> 01:21:08,320
Speaker 1: that time. Because you can't crack the Miami the Miami

1499
01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:13,800
Speaker 1: offense without without inside knowledge knowledge make offense Patrick. That's

1500
01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:16,000
Speaker 1: the key. That's why they got him. They went out

1501
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:18,880
Speaker 1: and traded a first round pick just for this game. UM.

1502
01:21:19,040 --> 01:21:21,400
Speaker 1: James Conner on the other side, he's getting an A grade.

1503
01:21:21,479 --> 01:21:24,240
Speaker 1: Connor should be pretty healthy post bye week. He's facing

1504
01:21:24,280 --> 01:21:27,679
Speaker 1: a Dolphins defense that has allowed the most rushing attempts

1505
01:21:27,720 --> 01:21:30,320
Speaker 1: and yards per game almost a hundred and forty rush

1506
01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:33,080
Speaker 1: yards per game to running backs, and our bottom twelve

1507
01:21:33,160 --> 01:21:36,840
Speaker 1: in yards per carry, rushing touchdowns and receiving touchdowns and

1508
01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:40,000
Speaker 1: all over. Good game for Connor Juju Smith Schuster, I'm

1509
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:42,760
Speaker 1: giving a B and Deonte Johnson was charches take a

1510
01:21:42,840 --> 01:21:46,760
Speaker 1: chance on me. Juju's usage has been frustrating, especially with

1511
01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:53,240
Speaker 1: the duck Duck Hodges right there, hitting him for only

1512
01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:56,760
Speaker 1: one catch last time out. Luckily, Mason Rudolph's back, who

1513
01:21:56,840 --> 01:21:59,880
Speaker 1: threw two touchdowns to Juju in his last three games,

1514
01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:02,799
Speaker 1: and the Dolphins have allowed the most wide receiver touchdowns

1515
01:22:02,800 --> 01:22:06,400
Speaker 1: in the league. Vance McDonald, this is a guy that

1516
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:09,360
Speaker 1: we were kind of planting the flag in preseason as

1517
01:22:09,479 --> 01:22:10,960
Speaker 1: a guy who had a chance to be a really

1518
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:15,160
Speaker 1: good player. Yeah, he's droppable. I don't agree. I do.

1519
01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:20,960
Speaker 1: Since Nick Venette showed up. McDonald has four targets in

1520
01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:23,400
Speaker 1: three games. Well, he's been hurt too, and he had

1521
01:22:23,479 --> 01:22:27,439
Speaker 1: Duck Hodges is his quarterback. He's only averaging three targets

1522
01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:30,280
Speaker 1: per game on the whole season. I know, but all

1523
01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:32,880
Speaker 1: that i'd see, I see it the opposite way. I

1524
01:22:33,040 --> 01:22:35,840
Speaker 1: think you get Mason Rudolph healthy and Vance McDonald healthy

1525
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:39,879
Speaker 1: off the by and the connections coming, and Nick Vannette's

1526
01:22:39,880 --> 01:22:44,160
Speaker 1: there though he's the Jesse James replacement. That was the

1527
01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:46,680
Speaker 1: whole reason We liked Vance McDonald at the beginning of

1528
01:22:46,720 --> 01:22:49,960
Speaker 1: year because Jesse James is gone. It's Vance McDonald's party.

1529
01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:53,120
Speaker 1: I'm not it's it's not his party anymore. It's Nick

1530
01:22:53,200 --> 01:22:56,600
Speaker 1: Vannette's party. Vance McDonald might be invited, but it's not

1531
01:22:56,680 --> 01:22:59,519
Speaker 1: a very good party either. I'll cry if I want to. Yeah,

1532
01:23:00,360 --> 01:23:02,160
Speaker 1: that's it. That's it, all right, Let's go to our

1533
01:23:02,200 --> 01:23:04,240
Speaker 1: final matchup. I thought maybe there was more to the

1534
01:23:04,720 --> 01:23:08,360
Speaker 1: punctuation to that Oakland and taking on Houston. That is

1535
01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:12,200
Speaker 1: our final matchup here. Josh Jacobs comes into this game hobbled,

1536
01:23:12,280 --> 01:23:14,800
Speaker 1: but it sounds like he's going to try to play it.

1537
01:23:14,920 --> 01:23:17,720
Speaker 1: Does it does? It's not a great matchup in in

1538
01:23:17,840 --> 01:23:20,880
Speaker 1: the fact that Houston has given up only two games

1539
01:23:20,920 --> 01:23:23,600
Speaker 1: over fifty yards rushing, and that was Christian McCaffrey and

1540
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:26,120
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara. They're pretty good, and most of their yards

1541
01:23:26,160 --> 01:23:28,559
Speaker 1: actually came through the air. Both had seventy plus through

1542
01:23:28,560 --> 01:23:30,680
Speaker 1: the air. And that's not really Josh Jacob's game. Even

1543
01:23:30,680 --> 01:23:33,360
Speaker 1: though he's getting a little bit more involved. I'm still

1544
01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:36,160
Speaker 1: giving Jacobs a b though, because he's getting nineteen plus

1545
01:23:36,240 --> 01:23:38,280
Speaker 1: touches a game and if he if he's good to

1546
01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:41,120
Speaker 1: go nineteen plus touches, it's gonna it's enough volume to

1547
01:23:41,160 --> 01:23:43,560
Speaker 1: get you something. And he's looked really good. So B

1548
01:23:43,680 --> 01:23:46,200
Speaker 1: grade there in the passing game, car was your take

1549
01:23:46,240 --> 01:23:48,360
Speaker 1: a chance on people for a lot of good reasons,

1550
01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:50,839
Speaker 1: like Derek Carr and because of that, I like Tyrol

1551
01:23:50,920 --> 01:23:53,240
Speaker 1: the Gazelle and I like Waller both with A grades.

1552
01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:56,320
Speaker 1: I mean, Waller's the top five tight end. Hooper, Kelsey

1553
01:23:56,360 --> 01:23:58,639
Speaker 1: and Ebron just had back to back to back double

1554
01:23:58,720 --> 01:24:02,519
Speaker 1: digit Fantasy days again against this Houston Texans team. It's

1555
01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:06,080
Speaker 1: Waller's turn now. Yeah, and uh, Tyroll Williams, all he's

1556
01:24:06,080 --> 01:24:09,639
Speaker 1: done to score touchdowns in every full game yep, exactly

1557
01:24:09,720 --> 01:24:13,120
Speaker 1: four games, four touchdowns. Oakland is devoid of other receiving options.

1558
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:16,120
Speaker 1: Really in Houston, it's kind of devoid of good good

1559
01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:19,760
Speaker 1: defensive backs. Roby and Joseph both might be out with

1560
01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:22,200
Speaker 1: hamstring injuries and games was just up put on I R.

1561
01:24:22,280 --> 01:24:25,400
Speaker 1: So they might have no quarterbacks. Yes, how about that?

1562
01:24:25,640 --> 01:24:28,800
Speaker 1: Tyroll Williams is a great start, great start this week.

1563
01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:30,519
Speaker 1: I think he does. By the way I offered, I

1564
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:32,200
Speaker 1: offered up a trade to try to get him. I

1565
01:24:32,320 --> 01:24:35,040
Speaker 1: just think that because he's been out of consciousness, out

1566
01:24:35,080 --> 01:24:36,759
Speaker 1: of sight, out of mind. I think people have forgotten

1567
01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:38,800
Speaker 1: that he was a locked starter for those first four

1568
01:24:38,840 --> 01:24:41,840
Speaker 1: weeks with touchdowns in every game, and the fact that

1569
01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:44,800
Speaker 1: the Raiders offense has been way better than we thought

1570
01:24:44,840 --> 01:24:46,720
Speaker 1: they were going to be. I think this is a

1571
01:24:46,760 --> 01:24:49,639
Speaker 1: good time to buy low and maybe your last chance

1572
01:24:49,680 --> 01:24:52,360
Speaker 1: to buy low on Tyrolle Williams. Yeah. Really, I really

1573
01:24:52,439 --> 01:24:54,960
Speaker 1: liked him coming into the year. On the other side,

1574
01:24:55,040 --> 01:24:57,759
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, I'm giving a grade to Oakland is allowing

1575
01:24:57,800 --> 01:25:00,679
Speaker 1: the second most passing yards and the most pas seen touchdowns.

1576
01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:04,519
Speaker 1: Watson is averaging two point seven touchdowns and three two

1577
01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:07,000
Speaker 1: yards per game. He he's a KEPI one this week.

1578
01:25:07,120 --> 01:25:09,760
Speaker 1: Might be he was my number one ranked quarterback. He's

1579
01:25:09,760 --> 01:25:15,120
Speaker 1: a QB one this week just this week, yes, next

1580
01:25:15,160 --> 01:25:20,719
Speaker 1: week probably not. I meant overall QB uh dean because

1581
01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:25,679
Speaker 1: of that. DeAndre Hopkins a grade uh yeah, will Fuller,

1582
01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:28,120
Speaker 1: he did have that injury that we kind of mentioned

1583
01:25:28,160 --> 01:25:31,479
Speaker 1: in three tough Questions might be coming, and Hopkins came

1584
01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:34,479
Speaker 1: back A grade B grade. For Kenny Stills, he runs

1585
01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:36,360
Speaker 1: a four three eight forty. He's going to be matched

1586
01:25:36,439 --> 01:25:39,280
Speaker 1: up against Darrell Worley, who runs a four point six

1587
01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:42,679
Speaker 1: four forty that's terrible, has established earlier in this segment.

1588
01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:45,280
Speaker 1: Four six is a slow cornerback speed, as you'll find.

1589
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:49,040
Speaker 1: Did they ever measure the forties after the shouting Tom?

1590
01:25:49,600 --> 01:25:52,040
Speaker 1: I wish they wish they make those guys run after

1591
01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:55,760
Speaker 1: they've been Stills is like five six years into his career.

1592
01:25:55,880 --> 01:25:59,120
Speaker 1: He's more than that. I mean his four a little bit.

1593
01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:03,040
Speaker 1: So is Darrell war was like four years in. You

1594
01:26:03,040 --> 01:26:06,160
Speaker 1: could be even slower. Now the Raiders have allowed thirty

1595
01:26:06,200 --> 01:26:09,360
Speaker 1: two pass plays over twenty yards. That's worse than the NFL.

1596
01:26:10,160 --> 01:26:13,160
Speaker 1: So be grade on still C grade on QT. He's

1597
01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:15,320
Speaker 1: going to get Joiner, who is batting the slot this

1598
01:26:15,439 --> 01:26:18,559
Speaker 1: year since transferring from safety. But I'm not sure how

1599
01:26:18,600 --> 01:26:20,400
Speaker 1: the targets are gonna shake out. So I have him

1600
01:26:20,439 --> 01:26:21,880
Speaker 1: on the bench for the or No, I do have

1601
01:26:21,960 --> 01:26:26,320
Speaker 1: a C grade. I look back. I do have surprised yourself.

1602
01:26:26,439 --> 01:26:28,960
Speaker 1: I surprised myself, but did my research. I had a

1603
01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:32,040
Speaker 1: C grade for him, and somehow Fells Nakins are on

1604
01:26:32,200 --> 01:26:34,679
Speaker 1: the bench though a tight end. Uh, I have Hide

1605
01:26:34,760 --> 01:26:36,680
Speaker 1: on the bench too. I like Duke Johnson a lot

1606
01:26:36,800 --> 01:26:41,240
Speaker 1: more this week. Yeah, Well, the only running backs to

1607
01:26:41,320 --> 01:26:45,000
Speaker 1: top fifty six yards against the against the Raiders, we're

1608
01:26:45,160 --> 01:26:48,880
Speaker 1: both vikings. Other than that, no other game. It's not

1609
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:51,320
Speaker 1: like the Raiders are shooting down run defense, but they're

1610
01:26:51,360 --> 01:26:53,519
Speaker 1: so easy to pass on. It's just the path of

1611
01:26:53,600 --> 01:26:55,800
Speaker 1: Lee Street. And that was fifty six rushing yards. The

1612
01:26:55,880 --> 01:26:58,559
Speaker 1: receiving work, that's where it gets done. And that's Duke Johnson.

1613
01:26:58,880 --> 01:27:01,200
Speaker 1: A couple of topics for you guys before we wrap

1614
01:27:01,320 --> 01:27:04,760
Speaker 1: up the show. Lamar Jackson's on by from this point

1615
01:27:04,840 --> 01:27:10,880
Speaker 1: going forward. Is Lamar Jackson the number one fantasy quarterback?

1616
01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:16,400
Speaker 1: I mean, since Deshaun Watson's only a quarterback, a quarterback,

1617
01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:19,360
Speaker 1: I don't I would not trade anybody for Lamar Jackson.

1618
01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:21,840
Speaker 1: There's nobody. If you offered me anybody, I would I

1619
01:27:21,840 --> 01:27:24,920
Speaker 1: would not take anybody Jacks. Same thing with the cook thing,

1620
01:27:25,040 --> 01:27:28,839
Speaker 1: like these are even players, Deshaun Watson, maybe Patrick Mahomes

1621
01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:32,000
Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson. There even enough that No, let's not

1622
01:27:32,120 --> 01:27:34,719
Speaker 1: make a straight up trade, like there needs to be incentive.

1623
01:27:35,120 --> 01:27:38,880
Speaker 1: The only issue I see is I want to have

1624
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:41,160
Speaker 1: a first round by If I have Lamar Jackson, because

1625
01:27:41,200 --> 01:27:46,320
Speaker 1: he gets at Buffalo in Week four, Tatis, that could

1626
01:27:46,360 --> 01:27:48,559
Speaker 1: be your knockout blow right out of the playoffs. Right

1627
01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:51,760
Speaker 1: before that, he has San Francisco in week thirteen. So

1628
01:27:52,080 --> 01:27:55,599
Speaker 1: if you're very secure in being a first round by

1629
01:27:55,760 --> 01:27:58,880
Speaker 1: participant in your playoffs, Lamar Jackson's great because he gets

1630
01:27:58,920 --> 01:28:00,920
Speaker 1: the Jets and the Browns and final two weeks. Those

1631
01:28:00,960 --> 01:28:03,640
Speaker 1: are not difficult matchups. But if you're gonna be in

1632
01:28:03,680 --> 01:28:05,519
Speaker 1: a wild card game and you're gonna be relying on

1633
01:28:05,640 --> 01:28:08,639
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, I'm a little nervous. There is Marky's Hollywood

1634
01:28:08,680 --> 01:28:14,240
Speaker 1: Brown droppable. Yes, no, probably not, but I kind of

1635
01:28:14,320 --> 01:28:17,040
Speaker 1: want to. He's right on the fringe. Yes, yeah, you say, yes,

1636
01:28:17,360 --> 01:28:19,880
Speaker 1: I'm dropping it. I think in a standard league. I

1637
01:28:19,920 --> 01:28:23,559
Speaker 1: think he's in a standard league definitely, Like like t J. Hockenson,

1638
01:28:23,600 --> 01:28:26,160
Speaker 1: we got fooled in week one on those two guys,

1639
01:28:26,520 --> 01:28:28,840
Speaker 1: I think, and he comes back healthy and he's gonna

1640
01:28:28,880 --> 01:28:31,320
Speaker 1: more experience than everything. But by the way, bye weeknd

1641
01:28:31,320 --> 01:28:33,080
Speaker 1: than Patriots. Yeah, you may be able to get him

1642
01:28:33,120 --> 01:28:35,599
Speaker 1: back and get him back after the Patriots game. Hey,
