WEBVTT - We Love Lamp 0:00:01.160 --> 0:00:04.880 Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio. 0:00:06.800 --> 0:00:10.520 Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio, 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:14.760 your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice. 0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:18.640 Now along with the guys from fanball dot com, here's 0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:23.520 the host for Fantasy Football Weekly. It is time for 0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:27.640 America's longest running fantasy show, Fantasy Football Weekly. I am 0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:29.760 your host, Paul Charchie, and my co host today are 0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:33.720 Scott Fish and Matt Harrison. Hello, gentlemen, what's going on 0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:38.440 charge you? Gad? It's Fantasy Football Weekly? Gad is I 0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:42.280 don't know? Okay. Over the course of today, we're gonna 0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:44.440 break down every game fantasy style like we like to do. 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:46.879 You get letter grades on all your fantasy players, and 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:51.559 we'll explain the rationale behind each letter grades. You can 0:00:51.560 --> 0:00:53.880 decide if we're right or for wrong and make your 0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:57.480 own decisions. We will also answer three tough questions. We'll 0:00:57.480 --> 0:00:59.640 give you nine players upon whom you can take a chance, 0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:03.680 and we will jump into our time machine and identify 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:07.240 the players. Everybody will be looking to pick up off 0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:11.240 the waiver wire next week, but they will already be 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:14.319 on your squad. Pamo, I can't find my time machine 0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:19.800 sound bite. Where did there we go? Yes, that must 0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.120 have happened last week when I was gone. Yes that 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:25.240 we invented a time machine. We have we upgraded from 0:01:25.240 --> 0:01:30.959 the flamm Do that super sophisticated sound right there? We've 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:35.399 done nothing good with that time machine yet, that's probably true. Um, 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:38.040 let's jump right into the matchups, beginning with Arizona taking 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:40.560 on New Orleans Chase Edmonds coming up the Big three 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:42.959 touchdown game. We don't believe David Johnson's going to go, 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:46.480 but this is a much much tougher matchup for Chase 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:49.560 Edmonds this week, Matt. Yeah, when your team signs Alfred 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.320 Morris and Zack Center in the same day, it spells 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.720 trouble for your running back depth. So it looks like 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.920 David Johnson's probably going to be out at least this week, 0:01:57.920 --> 0:02:01.160 if not for a while. Um. After DJ hit the bench, 0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:04.600 uh after only three plays last week with knee, ankle, 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:07.400 and back injuries. Chase tote of the rack twenty seven 0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.880 times for one six and three scores. He gets a 0:02:09.960 --> 0:02:12.640 B grade. David Johnson's a bench grade even if he 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.880 does shape up to go in this one. Yeah, because 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:18.119 it could be it could be exactly what we saw 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:20.560 last week. Um No running back is top to eighty 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:22.760 three yards against the ground against on the ground against 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:25.800 the Saints this year. They've only allowed three total touchdowns 0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:28.280 to the position on the season. But yeah, so why 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:30.760 even the B grade running back has had at least 0:02:30.800 --> 0:02:32.959 five receptions against the Saints and four of their last 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:35.239 five games and a PPR. He's a solid B and 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:36.960 he's gonna get all the work in this game, so 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:40.200 I'm giving him a B. Larry Fitzgerald he gets a 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:42.440 B and Christian Kirk gets to see if his ankle 0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:44.600 is healthy. But those are the only wide receivers we want. 0:02:45.080 --> 0:02:47.760 Regular slot corner P J. Williams will miss a few 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:51.399 weeks due to suspension, meaning Chauncey Gardner Johnson will man 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.520 the slot. Gardner Johnson spent most of his first start 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:56.919 manning up against Tarik Cohen last week and allowed nine 0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:59.760 catches and to score. And there's a major difference between 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.639 ring the five six Tarik Cohen in the sixth three 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:07.320 Larry Fitzgerald, uh Saints top corner Marshawn Lattimore won't go 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:10.160 into the slot. He stayed outside for of his snaps 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:12.440 this season. So he's gonna be wasted this entire game 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:15.560 on like Keishawn Johnson and Andy Isabella on the outside. 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:18.560 So I like Kirk even if he goes so Kyler 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.400 Murray gets a C grade. He's had at least ten 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:24.079 rushing attempts in three straight weeks. Yeah, that part of it. 0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:26.080 We do love that he scored twice on the ground 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:28.760 in the last four. The problem is the Saints are 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:31.440 top five and quarterback sacks and hits, and the Cards 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.840 have allowed Murray to be sacked twenty three times this season. 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:38.880 That's not good for a fleet of foot quarterback either. Um. Still, 0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:41.800 there's opportunity for Kyle arbage time here if he rack 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.680 up racks up some fourth quarter points. Let's go over 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:48.120 to the Saints side where Alvin Kamara is shaping up 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:52.520 to a game time decision. Now he practiced on Friday. 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:55.600 That's a good thing. Um, I'm giving him a C 0:03:55.880 --> 0:04:01.920 grade and giving Litavius a B grade. If Camara send 0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:05.520 us see if Kamara plays well? Wait, yeah, yeah, that 0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.720 makes sense. Latavius if he's alone, gets the B. Why 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:11.400 wouldn't he be an At that point? Arizona's run defense 0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:16.279 not good. Um, they're okay that the matchup is positive. 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:20.080 Similar dual threat backs to Camaraw like McCaffrey and Carson 0:04:20.120 --> 0:04:22.599 each top two hundred and forty total yards in the 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:26.600 last month, but Latavius isn't really a dual threat kind 0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:28.920 of a guy. He did see of the plays and 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:31.400 last week's win against Chicago, and if he can take 0:04:31.440 --> 0:04:33.200 thirty two touches and turn him into a hundred and 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:35.640 fifty total yards, that's fine. Uh. He might get to 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:37.320 do that in this game because they're not going to 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:39.560 need to pass the ball a lot. Speaking of passing 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:41.280 the ball, we don't know if it's going to be 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:44.960 Drew Brees or Teddy Bridgewater. Yeah. They I don't like that. 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.400 They're being evasive about it like they I guess it's 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:52.880 all strategic, right make the Cardinals, so plan for both guys. 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:57.560 If you got one or the other, UM, it's better 0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:00.400 to have both really on your roster because we're gonna 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:04.120 know ninety minutes before game time who's starting. UM. Either way, 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:07.000 either quarterback gets a b Uh. He might Breeze might 0:05:07.040 --> 0:05:09.560 come back from the thumb injury. But the Saints have 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:11.880 a bye week next week, so it seems like they 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:15.400 should rest him against the Cardinals at home and let 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.799 him come back against Atlanta in Week nine. The Cards 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:21.760 have allowed to touch passing touchdown every game and multiple 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:23.600 scores in five of seven, and an average of two 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:26.360 and eighty five passing yards, which makes Michael Thomas an 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:28.839 easy a eight or more receptions in four straight games. 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:32.560 And the only other guy Josh Hill. I'm giving him 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:37.000 kind of a secret. You A cook looks like he's 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:39.680 gonna be out. He'll had three for forty three in 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.120 a score and the Cards have allowed eight touchdowns to 0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:43.600 the tight end the season. That's the most in the 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:48.000 league by a ton. Uh. I bared cooks out, He'll 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:52.640 becomes a great dart throw fanball. It's still gross. Ted 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:54.760 Gains kind of in play too, But I'll talk about 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.480 him later, all right, we'll learn more about that if 0:05:57.640 --> 0:05:59.560 if Breeze does come back, or when he comes back. 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:02.360 You know, Michael Thomas has been perfectly usable, but what 0:06:02.440 --> 0:06:05.120 Breeze doesn't He opens up the deep part of the 0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:08.039 field that that Teddy doesn't generally get to, and I 0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:11.480 think we can get more deep passing out of Thomas. Fortunately, 0:06:11.680 --> 0:06:14.400 Teddy fed Thomas so much it hasn't really mattered. Now, 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:17.680 if you're the Saints with the bye week looming, I'm 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:21.960 only putting Breeze out there if he's literally one six 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:25.680 and one at home against the Cardinals. Yeah, if you don't, 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:27.600 you don't need Breese to win, so you know you 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:31.039 wouldn't risk it whatsoever. I don't think, uh, Scott, let's 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:34.040 go to Philly taking on Buffalo. Philadelphia is in a 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:36.760 dire spot and with a much they really need to 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:41.000 win here, but Buffalo's past defense is awesome. Tell me 0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.440 about how you feel about Carson Wentz in the passing 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:46.400 game for the Eagles in this one. I don't feel good, Bob. 0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:51.479 Don't feel good about not great, Bob. I don't think 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:55.360 so Tim, not great, Bob. I don't feel good about 0:06:55.440 --> 0:06:57.640 really any of them. I have Wents on the bench. 0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:00.479 The Bills have only allowed four passing touchdowns this and 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:04.039 just one quarterback over two hundred fifty yards. Conversely, Wentz 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:07.359 is surprisingly thrown for under two sixty in five of 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:10.080 his seven like, he's not throwing for a lot of yards. 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.360 He does have some multiple touchdown games, but this is 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:15.080 not a good matchup here. So I have Eggler on 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:18.040 the bench. He's gonna see tarn Johnson in the slot. 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:20.320 Who is the world you know, the easiest path of 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:23.280 resistance or like. It's a good matchup for him, but 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:26.000 he can't be trusted to reel and passes, so I 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:30.520 can't start him. He's on the bench. Aushan Jeffrey, he's uh. 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:32.880 I gave him a C grade even even in this 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:35.840 I think he might be the only startable, just barely 0:07:35.880 --> 0:07:40.000 startable wide receiver. Uh. Jeffrey tends to move around, so 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:42.760 he's probably gonna be able to avoid Gradavious White, who 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:46.360 stays glued to the to the left side of the 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:49.600 field the time to the left, so Jeffrey will move around. 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:51.920 He plays forty seven percent from one side, forty two 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:53.920 from the other, like nine from the slot. He's all over, 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:56.880 so that that might open Jeffrey up just enough to 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.360 give him a C grade. Hurts, I'm given a B grade. 0:07:59.840 --> 0:08:02.120 The Bills haven't really faced the murderer's row against ted 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:04.120 Ends on their way to being the second best team 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:06.400 against ted Ends. It's been a lot of They've only 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:10.520 allowed seventeen receptions, but it's a lot of bad tight ends. Uh. 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:13.000 The good news is Evan Ingram was one of those. 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:15.200 They not bad tight end and he caught six balls, 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:18.280 so there's hope for for. It's for he's getting double 0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:21.920 digit targets. So b grade on Earth's Goddard's on the bench. 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.400 Howard and Sanders also on the bench. Only two running 0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:26.560 backs of top seventy yards against the Bills this year 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:29.440 and it took twenty touches for each of them, and 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:32.839 one of them was named Sae Kwon Barkley, So I'm 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:36.280 pretty sure Jordan Howard isn't Kwan Barkley. No, I will 0:08:36.320 --> 0:08:39.680 say the Bills since Sean McDermott got there, they have 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:42.640 now allowed thirty eight or thirty nine touchdowns in his 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:45.839 thirty eight games with them or whatever Russian touchdowns. So 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:49.800 maybe Howard gets score, maybe, but I'm still having him 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:53.920 on the bench. On the Bill side, Josh Allen's gonna 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.480 get a lot of a grades nowadays. This month is 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.360 going to be good for for Josh Allen. Um. He 0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:02.400 struggled a little bit against Miami, who randomly showed up 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.800 for the first half of that game, but he's always 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:07.800 a threat with his legs. Rogers and Dacked attacked on 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:11.080 decent fantasy points against Philly with their league legs, and 0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:14.320 four of the five quarterbacks not named Luke Fox racked 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:18.240 up multiple touchdowns on Philly, So I think this is 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:20.960 a good multiple touchdown game with some some rushing for 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:24.760 Allen a grade, there be grade for his main guy Brown, 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:27.520 John Brown does like John Brown in this one. He 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.439 does what Phillies d just can't stop. He gets deep. 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.040 I mean, listen to this list of thirty plus yard 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:37.760 receptions thirty you know, thirty plus yard plays against the Eagles. McLaurin, 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:43.640 Julio Julio twice, Ridley Adams, Allison Digs twice, Cooper like 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:46.560 they all had thirty plus yard receptions on and that's 0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:50.280 just one play. So John Brown's gonna get deep. He's 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:53.480 the only trustable asset leading in targets, receptions, yards, and 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:57.719 touchdowns with two, but have a touchdowns. The rest of 0:09:57.720 --> 0:09:59.520 the wide receivers are too hard to protect their on 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:01.520 the bench. Gore is on the bench as well, because 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:04.360 the Eagles rundy is surprisingly no joke. It's it makes 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:06.960 up for the past two doesn't It's good barely allowing 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:09.040 over three point three yards per carry. So that the 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:11.600 running backs are on the bench agreed the Chargers taking 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:14.760 on Chicago, and it's a wreck for this Chargers team 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.920 with injury. Unfortunately, starting guard Forest lamp just went on 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:20.440 I art now they're gonna and I love lamp, we 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:23.880 love lamp Um and Russell Okung is gonna come back 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:25.839 for part of this game, but they don't think he's 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:28.880 ready to play a full game. And it's I've I've 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:31.680 really pushed all of my all of my Chargers down 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:35.880 in my grading fairly significantly in this one. The best 0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.320 player you could start though, Hunter Henry and his two 0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:40.680 games back from injury, He's turned into a top target 0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:43.120 for Rivers with seventeen targets of the two games, a 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:45.560 ninety seven yard game and a one hundred yard game 0:10:45.760 --> 0:10:48.680 for Hunter Henry, rewarding those fantasy owners that stuck with 0:10:48.760 --> 0:10:51.120 him for all those games that he missed. The Bears 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.480 are allowing fifty eight yards per game to tight end, 0:10:54.000 --> 0:10:56.400 but no individual tight end is top to even forty 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:58.640 six yards and only two have scored. So just a 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:01.120 B grade for Hunter Henry and it only really gets 0:11:01.160 --> 0:11:04.280 worse from there. I got Philip Rivers on the bench. Yeah, 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:06.760 you know he didn't um keenan Allen, but let me. 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:08.480 Let me start with Keenan Allen. Why I don't like 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:10.559 Allen and that will make more sense for Rivers maybe. 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:13.080 So Keenan Allen didn't practice all week with a hamstring injury. 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:14.800 It doesn't look like he's gonna go, although he's a 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:19.160 game time decision here. Um Allen hasn't exceeded five receptions 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:22.040 or scored in the last four games, so it's been 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:25.760 a disaster for Keenan Allen. The only positive for Keenan Allen, 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:27.559 even if he does go, is that he works the 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:30.520 slot that gives him Buster Screen, who is probably the 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:34.920 worst player in the entire Bears defense. I know, I 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:37.120 don't know. I don't know either. Uh. Screen is at 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.760 least allowed at least five catches in half of his games. 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.120 He's given up two scores in his last four games. 0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:45.120 So there's your angle on Keenan Allen. But with the 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.679 hamstring injury, any played could be his last. So I 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:50.040 you've got a bench great on him. And if I 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:52.040 don't like Allen and the only receiver of the starting 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:54.640 greatest Hunter Henry, I've got to put Philip Rivers on 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:57.480 the bench. Offensive line is a huge concern the the 0:11:57.520 --> 0:11:59.160 forest lamp part of it as well, But then of 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:02.640 course the Chicago pass rush makes it so hard. Chicago 0:12:02.800 --> 0:12:05.480 ranks is the number two pass rush by Pro Football Focus. 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:09.200 The Chargers have the twenty seven ranked pass block unit. 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:12.560 Philip Rivers is just going to be under siege in 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.600 this game, and that's why I can't put a starting 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.280 grade on him, nor Mike Williams, who has zero touchdowns 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:20.800 this year, and he's a totally touchdown dependent player. And 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:23.280 it's a bill secondary that's given up just three sorry 0:12:23.360 --> 0:12:26.839 Bears secondary that's given up just three scores to opposing receivers. 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:29.480 So Mike Williams also on the bench. The one guy 0:12:29.520 --> 0:12:31.720 who might get help by all the dump offs and 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:35.000 the quick plays from Philip Rivers is Austin Ekeler. He's 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.960 got the most targets, receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:41.560 among all running backs. That should continue against a Bears 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:44.480 team that's given up the fourth most receptions and the 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:47.439 fifth most receiving yards per game to running back. So 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:49.559 I do have a C grade in Austin Ekeler. He 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:51.480 probably won't get any goal line work if there is 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:54.079 goal line work to be had, although why would you 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.400 necessarily give Melvin Gordon the ball to goal line again 0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:59.079 after what happened last week. Is Melvin Gordon on the 0:12:59.200 --> 0:13:07.560 Chargers next week? I would say, se chance he's a charter. Okay, 0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:09.880 that's just where that's my that's my finger in the wind. 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:12.760 But maybe he's a lion at this time next week. 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:17.079 It's not impossible. Gordon. Um. The Bears are really felt 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:19.080 the loss of defensive tackle a Keem Hicks. In the 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:22.800 past two games without him, they've been obliterated by Josh 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:25.640 Jacobs and Lottavius Murray, which you know we never saw 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:28.960 it coming, and especially in Chicago last week, Lottavius Murray 0:13:29.040 --> 0:13:31.680 rolled him. I know I had him as a start 0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:35.920 last week. Nice job. Melvin Gordon gets a C grade 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:38.640 here only because a Kee Hicks is out. Let's flip 0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:41.040 over to the Chicago side. You only want to start 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:43.720 two guys, and one of them is pretty wobbly. Allen 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:47.720 Robinson just gets all of the targets here. Half of 0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:52.440 Chicago's wide receiver targets go to Alan Robinson. Half. He 0:13:52.559 --> 0:13:56.040 just beat Saints corner Marshawn Latimer and he's got another 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:58.520 tough matchup. He's gonna get shadow corner Casey Hayward in 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:00.880 this one. But if you can beat march On Latimer 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:02.240 for a good game, I guess you could do it 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:06.240 to Hayward as well. Chargers have surrendered touchdowns to comparable 0:14:06.280 --> 0:14:09.360 receivers like Kenny Golladay and DeVante Parker and Courtland Sutton 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:12.440 and Corey Davis. Corey Davis worked Hayward last week, so 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:14.079 maybe there's a little something we can get done with 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:17.959 Allen Robinson with a B grade. And then the trickiest 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:22.080 grade that I had to give all week is this one. 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:26.800 David Montgomery. I'm giving him a C. We had a 0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:31.040 two carry game last week, so I know it's going 0:14:31.080 --> 0:14:33.000 to be hard to put him in your starting lineup. 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:36.640 But Matt Nage is under the gun to get a 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:39.760 running game going. Everybody knows he's got to do it. 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:43.120 The Bears have to develop the running game, and Montgomery 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:45.280 is the is their main ball carrier. Of as much 0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:47.680 as you can call eleven carries and two carries the 0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:49.600 past two weeks, the main one and the best way 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:51.960 to beat the Chargers is on the ground. They're a 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:54.920 much worse run defense, giving up four point eight yards 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:57.360 per carry. This is a run defense. You can beat 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:04.080 David Montgomery. Well, one last starting grade is on the bench. 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:06.720 He gives you nothing on the ground. He frequently helps 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:08.920 on the air, and the charge of only allowed one 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:12.560 notable passing game to a runner, James Conner. Otherwise they've 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:14.440 shut down a bunch of other receiving backs and the 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:18.280 entire rest of the Bears passing game is on the bench. 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:23.160 Because you know who's that quarterback? We are in deep 0:15:23.480 --> 0:15:27.440 sad trombone Ski territory. Can I run a different nickname 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:32.640 by you? Yeah, Mitch trash Binski. That's pretty good. That's 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:37.600 pretty good. But you know, I'm heavily invested Sad Trombone, 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:40.480 so I'm probably not going to adopt it. But it 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:45.000 is good. There's not a sounder for Mitch trash bin Spinsky, 0:15:45.120 --> 0:15:47.360 not you really, there isn't an audio cute can really 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:50.360 give for that, I'm afraid, but yeah, we'll leave it 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:54.880 at that.

When these sleeper quarterbacks are running back to 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:04.760 and wide receivers hit paid or you pay us exactly 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:09.480 what we paid for this crappy song. Nothing zero, not 0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:12.199 a or you could tip us by uh, you know, 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:16.760 shooting it to Fantasy cares. Well, there's that, yeah, like DNA. 0:17:16.800 --> 0:17:19.679 Try to monetize this segment absolutely. Let's you get at 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:21.680 the quarterback position. Matt, who is you gonna take a 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:25.480 chance on me? Quarterback? I've got Mason Rudolph who returns 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:28.560 from his scary concussion to something he was used to 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:33.200 seeing in the preseason, a third string NFL defense. That's 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:35.680 the Miami Dolphins and rule number one of take a 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:38.840 chance on me is used the quarterback playing the Miami 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:41.720 Dolphins and the running back and the wide receiver and 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:44.560 the tight end. Yeah, they're pretty much, uh, pretty much bad. 0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:48.000 They've allowed two point seven passing scores per game and 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:51.600 have only one interception through six. Rudolph has thrown multiple 0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:53.720 touchdowns in three or four games this season. I like 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:57.159 him a lot, all right, So I'm gonna change mid 0:17:57.240 --> 0:17:59.399 stream I was gonna do. I was gonna do. A 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:02.200 man that is nowt all time in NFL passing and 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:12.000 just tied Bo Jackson for career rushing touchdowns, Ryan Fitzpatrick Jackson. 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:14.919 I love it, but I'm switching on the fly here 0:18:14.960 --> 0:18:17.399 to Ryan Tannehill, who faces a Bucks team that have 0:18:17.440 --> 0:18:21.080 allowed multiple touchdowns to quarterbacks in four straight They're back 0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:23.560 to who they were last year, and since Week one, 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:27.880 they're allowing three fifty yards passing per game to opposing 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:31.040 quarter Switched Ryan Tannehill. Fitzpatrick's going to do better than 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:36.600 Tannehill every very possible. The last minute Sunday morning switch 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:41.120 never works. We'll see if this. I've got Ryan Tannehill 0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:45.480 quarterback Eleven Fitzpatrick's a Monday night Hammer. I suppose there's that, 0:18:46.040 --> 0:18:48.159 and he can also be benched at half. So you 0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:52.560 know who's to say my quarterback is Derek Carr going 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:56.760 up against Houston through injury and age, the Houston secondary 0:18:56.880 --> 0:19:00.520 regressing into one of the league's very worst. Aside from 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:04.879 games against Green quarterbacks Kyle Allen and Gardner Minshew, the 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:09.520 Texans are allowing three hundred twenty three passing yards and 0:19:09.720 --> 0:19:13.040 two point eight passing touchdowns per game. I would take 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:15.320 that from Derek Carr now, but you might be saying, oh, 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:17.480 but it's Derek Carr. I don't want Derek Carr. Well, 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:20.920 how about this. He's throwing multiple touchdowns and three of 0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:23.480 us past four games, only the Bears, in their elite 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:27.160 defense has stopped him from throwing multiple touchdowns. He gets 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:30.359 the gazelle back Tyroll Williams coming back, and he almost 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:36.760 scored a rushing touchdown last week. That's right, he did 0:19:36.800 --> 0:19:40.000 fullbow it through the end zone. Hasson, he has no back. 0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:43.440 He is a long way off of Bo Jackson. Let's 0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:45.160 go to our take a chance of me running backs. 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:48.840 I've got J D. Mckissic of the Lions against the 0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:52.399 Giants last week, rookie Ty Johnson led mckissic in touches 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:55.800 fourteen to seven, but mckissic was the more dynamic back. 0:19:55.880 --> 0:19:57.840 He gained almost the same amount of yards, in fact, 0:19:57.880 --> 0:20:00.080 a little bit more on half the touches. That what 0:20:00.240 --> 0:20:02.560 then what Ty Johnson did, And if Johnson fails to 0:20:02.600 --> 0:20:04.640 get it going early, I could see this turning into 0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:07.560 a complete time share. The Giants have have had a 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:10.879 major weakness against pass catching backs as well, allowing almost 0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:13.480 ten yards per reception to opposing backs over the last 0:20:13.520 --> 0:20:16.360 five games. This includes a nine catch effort for James 0:20:16.400 --> 0:20:18.840 White and six catches for eighty six from Dalvin Cook. 0:20:19.240 --> 0:20:22.560 Mckissic is averaging over ten yards per catch, including two 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:24.600 for thirty one last week. I think he's going to 0:20:24.640 --> 0:20:27.920 be in playing PPR leagues. All right, Scott, your take 0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:29.520 a chance of me running back. I'm gonna make it. No, 0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:34.560 I'm not no, I'm not not on this one. D No, 0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:38.919 Darryl Henderson. Every running back to log over ten touches 0:20:38.920 --> 0:20:41.119 against the Bengals has topped eighty yards. And that's not 0:20:41.240 --> 0:20:43.760 a small it's not a small number. Ten different backs 0:20:43.840 --> 0:20:47.840 in seven weeks have done ten different backs, So you 0:20:47.960 --> 0:20:50.959 get over ten touches eleven or more. Darryl Henderson has 0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:53.359 never had a ten touch game. No, he hasn't, but 0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:59.480 but he looked, so he's due. But Malcolm Brown is 0:20:59.520 --> 0:21:02.200 out for this one. And the Bengals have also allowed 0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:06.399 ten running back touchdowns in seven games. Uh, this is 0:21:06.440 --> 0:21:08.560 a game script where they're twelve and a half point favorites. 0:21:08.640 --> 0:21:10.560 Might be running it down later and it might be 0:21:10.640 --> 0:21:13.720 with Darryl Henderson. Give me him there. Also, the Bengals 0:21:13.760 --> 0:21:16.399 are bottom five and basically every running back category, right, 0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:20.760 I'm with you. If Malcolm Brahm's out, Darryll Henderson's officially 0:21:20.920 --> 0:21:23.240
