Yes, that's right, 0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:46.519 that's why we're here. We've been called in especially well done. 0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:47.760 We're gonna well, we'll find. 0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:49.400 Out if it's called in. Like doing a free kick, 0:00:50.240 --> 0:00:50.960 like a free kick. 0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:53.800 That was incredible, Vine, that was God. I love Jim 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:55.760 Harbaugh love that. 0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:57.680 I also love that the last team to do it 0:00:57.760 --> 0:00:59.880 was also the Chargers in nineteen seventy five. 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:03.080 How could it have been this long? How can it 0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:06.240 have been so what is that fifty plus years? Roughly 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:10.160 fifty years since that has come up? Where there's been 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:12.319 a penalty on a punt with no time left. You'd 0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:14.839 think that that would come up fairly often. 0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:17.319 Yeah, you do think that, But all the score Agami's 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:19.760 with the scores that have never been happened before, and 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:21.559 it seems like there's a couple each year, and you're. 0:01:21.400 --> 0:01:23.880 Like, h and it's such a specific scenario because you 0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:26.120 have to do it right after a fair catcher where 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.679 the ball is spotted after a penalty eight following a 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:30.560 fair catch, and so you're gonna have to do the 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:33.720 thing on a first down, yeah, right, Like so it's yeah, 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:36.840 it's very unique circumstance. Harboss said after that that he 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:39.120 had been waiting all season to do this. I was 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:41.720 so charmed by that quote. Yes, this guy has been 0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:44.520 fixated on doing this thing that has not been in 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:47.480 fifty years in the NFL. This is first year back 0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:49.680 in the league, Like this is what he wanted to do. 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:51.720 The quote on the other side, I didn't believe where 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:54.080 Sean Payton says they prepare for that every week. 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.200 Yeah, no, you know what they don't know? 0:01:56.600 --> 0:02:01.560 Shut shot Peyton proving like his reputation about what you know, 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:02.800 he's not the most honest. 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:05.840 No, no, no, I'll take things that never happened for 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:07.320 a thousand Alex, oh kidding. 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:09.160 What is going to happen in this show is we're 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:11.800 gonna break down every game Fantasy Football weekly style, with 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.440 letter grades on all the players. Will continue to give 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:17.480 you take a chance of me players because there are injuries, 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:20.120 there's dfs, there's a lot of reasons that you might 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:23.480 want to find unearthed, some some sleepers. We'll answer three 0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:28.080 tough questions and this is very exciting. People have been 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:32.639 asking for this for years. We have playoff guillotine leagues. 0:02:32.760 --> 0:02:36.160 Oh oh baby, man, I've been waiting to talk about 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:36.919 this for a long time. 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:39.240 It's been in the works for weeks and we're finally 0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:41.240 ready to do it. We're gonna have two different formats. 0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:42.799 I'm just gonna touch on it briefly and we get 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:46.480 right into the heart of our matchups. One format is 0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:49.959 pretty much standard Guillotine league, but with smaller a smaller 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.280 number of teams of course, because we've only got four 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:54.600 rounds of the playoffs, so there are five teams. One 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:58.240 will be left standing at the end, and it's a 0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:02.120 lot like standard Guillotine except no bench players, just eight starters. 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:04.520 Who score points every week, but teams still get chopped. 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:05.880 You can still go to the waiver wire. You can 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:06.680 bid on players. 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:07.640 All of that love it. 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:11.560 Second format is for teams that want to have a 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:15.600 If you want to play for a lot of prizes, 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:17.240 this is the way to go. 0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:19.760 It's called the Championship Chopionship. 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.919 It's great play in leagues from twenty five to five hundred, 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.360 and you get to just pick your favorite players and 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.520 then every week the bottom twenty five percent get chopped. 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.400 Of twenty five percent, the low was scoring twenty five 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:36.320 percent of teams get chopped. You're just trying to avoid 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.280 getting chopped every week, survive to the end, and perhaps 0:03:39.320 --> 0:03:41.520 even win your league. We'll talk a little bit more 0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:43.560 about it later in the show and in future shows. 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:45.280 Charge, you didn't want to say this, but this was 0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.400 rolled out because I encourage him to do this for 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.880 my coworkers who are in the graveyard of our get right. 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.920 The executioner has visited them all and Dwayne and Friedman, 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:55.000 He's coming for you next. 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.800 I'm in the Celebrity Guillotine League where Charge is still 0:03:57.840 --> 0:03:58.360 alive too. 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.080 I am still alive. I am I want to make 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:02.240 it to the end of that one. That one's got 0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:02.840 some real cash. 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:03.440 It really does. 0:04:03.560 --> 0:04:07.000 Yes, absolutely, let's do. Let's jump into the matchups. Giants 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.400 taking on the Falcons. For the Giants, they're going back 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:13.440 to Drew Lock. Are not a lot of starters that 0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:15.920 we care about. We care about Molik Neighbors, we care 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:19.120 about Tyron Tray maybe, Yeah, what do you think? 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:21.120 Yeah, I couldn't get there on Drew Locke for a 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:24.719 starting grade. It's the seventh easiest QB matchup against the 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:27.799 Falcons team allowing a ton of QB, the most QBA 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:29.920 scores and a good amount of rushing and Drew Locke 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.480 had fifty plus yards each of the last two weeks, 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:34.479 got a rushing score in that. I just I just 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:37.280 can't do it. I can't do it in your semi fioffs, right, Yeah, 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:40.280 Wandel Robinson's the same. It's a it's a good slot matchup, 0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:42.599 but I can't get there in your fantasy playoffs, Milik Neighbors. 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:44.080 I'm still giving the A grade too though. 0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:45.760 Wow eight grad with Drew Lock. 0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:49.880 Yeah, but he gets Ajterrell in shadow coverage. And here's 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:56.039 what Ajterrell has done recently. Carl Carl Carl Pickens, Yeah, 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:59.840 that's an old timer. Pickens had six for eighty five, 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:04.640 DeVonta Smith six for sixty nine, Mike Evans five for 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:08.480 sixty two and two scores, Johnson six for seventy eight 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:11.120 and a score dk metcalf four for ninety nine in 0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:14.000 the score, Lamb eight for forty seven and seven for 0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:15.360 seventy eight. They've all done well. 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:17.440 Why are the Falcons using him as their shadow guy? 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:18.080 A J. 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:19.320 Charle's not good enough to. 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:22.040 Shore Justin Jefferson seven for one thirty two and it's 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:25.240 a couple scores, right, Yeah, so he doesn't align in 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:28.039 the slot at all. He'll stay on neighbors forty percent 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:30.760 target share four times this year for neighbors, he's just 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:35.040 getting hyper hyper targeted. So in the fourth easiest spot 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.400 for wide receivers a grade on Molik neighbors. Let's run 0:05:37.400 --> 0:05:40.120 over to the running game, as you kind of alluded 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:42.640 to him keeping Devin Singletary on the bench, but last 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.040 week he got a lot more work as Tyrone Tracy 0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:48.040 deals with that angle inentry that led to him splitting 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:53.200 touches nearly evenly, routes nearly evenly, targets everything and Singletary 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:55.479 was a little bit more of a more effective Yeah 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:59.080 with Tracy with that ankle entry, but he's now another 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:02.240 week removed. I know, the limited practices base another week removed, 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:04.839 so I think he starts to tweak back up and 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:08.000 get more touches. Just two backs of top seventy five 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:12.360 rushing yards against this Atlanta team Barkley and Chuba Hubbard, 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:15.200 who had a ton of carries. I'm not sure that 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:18.240 Tyrones get that kind of volume, but I do think 0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:19.920 it's gonna tick up to the point I'm gonna give 0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:22.239 him a C grade here Over on the other side, 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:23.839 I know you want me to give a starting grade 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:26.520 to Michael Pennix Junior, probably, but I'm not gonna do it. 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:30.520 I'm not tipping my hand because this topic may come 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:31.480 up later in the show. 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:33.640 Yeah, the Giants allowed two hundred and ninety yards and 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.599 five scores to Lamarl Jackson last week, but that's Lamar Jackson. 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:40.040 He's an MVP candidate prior to that. Since Week three, 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.400 they've only allowed one multi score game. In those eight 0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.480 quarterbacks average two hundred and fourteen yards, So it's not 0:06:45.520 --> 0:06:48.800 really a good spot for Michael Pennix. I do have 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:51.920 C grades on Drake London and Darnell Mooney, though London 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:54.880 remains pretty safe with that five straight games of fifty 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:58.839 plus yards usually gets five plus catches as well. He's 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:02.480 safe in that low low save floor. Gets a Dori Jackson, 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.360 which is the toughest matchup of the cornerback matchups. PFF 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:09.240 grades him, ranks him seventeenth among quarterbacks, just a fifty 0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:11.800 four rating against just one score allowed. But I'm still 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:15.000 gonna give London to see here, gonna give the counterpoint 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:18.800 counter parts Darnell Mooney the C grade. Thought about a bench, 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:22.600 but really, Penix's strong arm might be well suited for Mooney. 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:24.840 So if he can get a big game. I know 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:27.640 he's had several duds recently, but we saw a few 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.320 big plays against the Vikings. If Penix's arm can do 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.240 that here, I think he can get to a C grade. 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:34.600 I see it the exact same way I raised Rate 0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:36.520 when when the news came out the Cousins was out 0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:39.320 and Penix was in. Actually I raised Mooney a bunch, Yeah, 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:40.840 raised Drake London a little Okay. 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:45.640 Interesting. Kyle Pitts inarguably one of the best possible matchups 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:47.640 of the year. Last week only got four for four, 0:07:48.120 --> 0:07:49.920 four for twenty eight. I'm putting him on the bench. 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:51.880 I don't care now, I don't care. At this point 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.720 in the running game, Bjeon Robinson is sticking with the 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:57.760 A gamescript may have the Falcons running a bunch as 0:07:57.760 --> 0:07:59.520 they get up by the I think they're almost a 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:01.600 score for five to six point favorites. At this five 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:03.920 and a half point favorites. The Giants allow the fifth 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:07.080 highest yards per carried a clip of four point eight 0:08:07.160 --> 0:08:10.440 per carry, third, most rushing yards, second, most common conboy 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:14.200 yards bottom six, though in the past game bottom six, 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:17.119 as in a good way. In the pass game against backs, 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:21.320 pass catching backs do really well. Bijeon's a twenty plus touchback. 0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:23.200 He's gonna get the A grade. And because of all that, 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:26.520 Tyler Algier, I think in some backup work might get 0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:28.800 a C grade. Here he only has one game over 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:31.840 sixty five yards, but that eight to twelve touches against 0:08:31.840 --> 0:08:34.719 a really bad defense, and in mop up duty, I 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:35.880 think he can get to a C. 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:38.480 All right, let's switch over to the Rams taking on 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.400 the Jets store and the way I want to attack 0:08:41.440 --> 0:08:44.440 this is this way, you know, Sauce Gardner, DJ Reedman 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:46.600 Hurt A lot. Teams are passing all over the Jets 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:48.800 like they had not been able to for really the 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:51.840 better part of two years. So I'm very interested in 0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:55.480 how you feel like the Rams passing game is going 0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:57.920 to do in a matchup that suddenly seems a little 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.760 bit easier than it would have been even a month ago. 0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:02.600 It sure does, and we got a lot of green 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:03.080 lights here. 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:04.720 All right, good, I'm gonna start with the guy that 0:09:04.760 --> 0:09:07.839 I'm lowest on relatively and Matthew Stafford, but I gave 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:08.880 him a grade of B. 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:10.320 Everyone else is gonna be an A. 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:13.000 I'll just give you this spoiler earlier now, but Stafford 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:15.679 since Week eight has been the quarterback fourteen and fantasy 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.840 points per game. He had a tend to zero TDI 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:21.560 and t rate over the previous four games before last 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:24.559 week's rainy game. In the conditions now they're playing a 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:27.160 Jets pass final defense, as you're sort of alluding to. 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:29.880 And here was the interesting stat that I pulled up 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:34.200 on this thing since the Jets fired Robert Sala, Did 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.480 you realize that they are last in the NFL in 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:38.360 defensive EPA per play? 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:41.040 What? Wow? Thirty two out of thirty two. 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:44.040 Wow, do you know what they were before they fired Roberts? 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:46.760 I bet they were like top five? They were number five? 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:48.400 How about that? How about that? 0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:48.840 Wow? 0:09:48.880 --> 0:09:51.360 Maybe Robert Sala it wasn't as well the problem. Maybe 0:09:51.360 --> 0:09:52.120 it wasn't his fault. 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:52.240 Ye. 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:54.360 Well, we'll see who Aaron Rodgers can hire as the 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:58.280 next coach there. But Kyrin Williams, of course is an 0:09:58.280 --> 0:09:59.880 a and a must start, as is Cooper. 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:01.080 Now, Cup had that. 0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:03.839 Doud game last week or the negative three receiving yards 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:08.400 was like, you know, he had gone over zero receiving 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:10.840 yards like every game, so there was one game like 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:14.080 years ago where he didn't. But that was just his 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:17.360 third game without fifty one plus receiving yards and eleven 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:19.959 and a half plus fantasy points per game or fantasy 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.280 points this year, the Jets have allowed the third most 0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:25.200 schedule adjusted fantasy points to wide receivers in the last 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:27.880 five games, and New York is twenty ninth and ep 0:10:28.000 --> 0:10:28.920 of per dropback. 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:31.000 Since Week nine, New York has. 0:10:30.960 --> 0:10:34.120 Seeded the most fantasy points to the slot as well, 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:36.800 and Cup run sixty two percent of his routes out 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.120 of that Pookaku is a must start. 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:39.880 On cup. 0:10:40.000 --> 0:10:43.520 So here's the weird thing about cup and slot and slots. Okay, 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:45.520 the Jets. I acknowledge that the Jets are giving up 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:48.880 a lot to slot receiver. Yeah, Michael Carter is their 0:10:48.920 --> 0:10:49.920 slot cornerback. 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:51.640 He's awesome. 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:54.359 He's giving up one and a half catches for seventeen 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:55.120 yards a game. 0:10:56.520 --> 0:11:01.040 Oh yeah, all right, sorry, I oh, I'm glad. I'm 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:01.880 glad you jumped in. 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:05.120 All right, I'm changing my cup breaking nikoua as a 0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:07.920 mustard a as well. In the last two games against 0:11:07.960 --> 0:11:10.400 the Jets defense, I just wanted to read these receiving lines. 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:13.520 Tyreek Kill against this Jets pass defense had ten catch 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:16.120 for one hundred and fifteen yards and a touchdown fourteen targets. 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:19.599 Jalen Waddle had nine for ninety nine on twelve targets. 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:21.880 Brian Thomas had ten for one h two and two 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.720 touchdowns on fourteen targets. So it's wheels up on those 0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:27.120 rams receivers. Moving over to the Jets, I gave Aaron 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:29.880 Rodgers a B. He ranked number eight among quarterbacks and 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:32.160 points per game over the last four weeks. Threw for 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:34.760 two hundred and eighty nine yards and three scores. Last week, 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.240 and it's throwing multiple touchdown passes in seven of his 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:39.640 last ten starts. There's a good shot to do that 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:42.400 again against this Rams defense, which has allowed the ten 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:44.960 most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks. 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:46.600 Bresee Hall. I gave him a C. 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.400 He played the limited snaps last week and obviously was 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:53.240 not one hundred percent, zero misstackles forced and less than 0:11:53.280 --> 0:11:56.439 one yard after contact per attempt. The Jets had late 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:58.600 this week that Hall will play in this game and 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:00.960 it is a solid matchups week ten, the Rams have 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.640 allowed the six most rushing yards per game. I just 0:12:03.679 --> 0:12:05.600 don't know how much he gonna be on the field. 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.040 It might be another not one hundred percent thing is 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:09.880 gonna play. But for that reason I had to give 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:13.120 him a CE. DeVonta Adams, however, I gave him an A. 0:12:13.480 --> 0:12:16.160 Since Week seven, Adams has been the wide receiver seven 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:19.280 in fantasy points per game eleven red zone targets across 0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:22.320 his last eight games as a Jet. The Rams play 0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:25.600 mostly too high coverage. Adams since Week seven against too 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:29.439 high coverage has a thirty eight point five percent first 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:33.439 read share, which is bonkers. Since Week ten, the Rams 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:35.599 have allowed the twelfth most PPR points per target to 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.640 perimeter wide receivers as well. I think Adams goes off 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:40.360 in this game. And the only other guy to talk 0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:41.959 about on the jet side Garrett Wilson. 0:12:42.000 --> 0:12:42.719 I gave him a B. 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:45.880 Since Week seven, Wilson has been the wide receiver twenty 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:48.280 four and fantasy points per game. It's got set seven 0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:51.319 red zone targets during that time. But against too high 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:53.200 the kind of too high that the opponent plays in 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:56.040 this game, Wilson always takes a back seat to Adams, 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.040 or he has since since Adams got on the team. 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:01.240 Wilson's too high first read share is twenty four point 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:05.040 two percent, significantly lower than Adams. This appears to be 0:13:05.080 --> 0:13:07.360 another DeVonta Adams game. So for that reason, I had 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:08.760 to give a badm to Gara Wilson. 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:10.000 That six right now? 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:11.959 Yeah, exactly, Yeah, it makes sense. 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:15.079 Houston taking at Kansas City and I've got a really 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:17.319 strong contrarian angle on this, and I'm gonna explain what 0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:18.360 we get to the Kansas. 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:19.000 City side, But let's start. 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.440 We'll start with Houston here and Joe Mixon. Two of 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:25.360 us last three games total duds, which is worrisome. And 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:28.240 the problem is the offensive line. Houston ranks thirtieth in 0:13:28.480 --> 0:13:31.120 ESPN's run block win rate. They ranked twenty eighth in 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:34.839 Pro Football Focuses run block rankings, and a MATGIC with 0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:36.959 Kansas City is the opposite of a get right spot 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:40.240 for Joe Mixon. Kansas City ranks number one in Fantasy 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:43.480 points allowed runners, number two in yards per carry allowed, 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:46.320 number four in run defense success rate, and number two 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:49.360 in yards after contact. This is a very difficult spot 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:51.920 for Joe Mixon, who comes in with just a C grade. 0:13:51.960 --> 0:13:54.160 We're hoping for goal line use a little bit like 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:56.920 Gus Edwards who had no business scoring two touchdowns last week, 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:00.839 but on Thursday. But Joe Mixon maybe gets fed here 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.280 at the goal line. That could salvage a day. Let's 0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:06.600 go to the passing game. Nico Collins remains a solid start. 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:10.160 It's been reliably productive since returning from injury over the 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:13.840 past three weeks. Collins leads the team in snaps, routes, 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:17.119 and targets, and only Jamar Chase is averaging more PPR 0:14:17.200 --> 0:14:20.520 points per game than Nico Collins. He draws a tricky 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:23.280 matchup this week against a good Chief secondary led by 0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:26.640 cornerback Trent McDuffie. Last week, Jerry Judy became the first 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:30.560 receiver to top one hundred yards against Kansas City, but 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:33.640 the next closest receiver had seven yards last week, so 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:37.920 it was a serious drop off After Judy Nico Collins 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.400 in a tough matchup. I'm gonna go B grade on him. 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:43.440 Tank Dell goes to the bench. Nico Collins return is 0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:47.800 just torpedoed the fantasy value of Tank Dell and just 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:50.840 c J. Stroud just can't support two receivers anymore like 0:14:50.840 --> 0:14:53.520 he did last year. He's averaging just two catches per 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:57.160 game over the last three weeks, and Collins has turned 0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:01.480 Tank into basically just a Hail Mary guy twenty two 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:02.880 yards per target. 0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:05.440 And we saw just this last week. We were talking 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:06.040 about this charge. 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:06.280 C J. 0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:09.280 Stroud is checks down like the second most in the 0:15:09.360 --> 0:15:09.960 league or something. 0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:12.880 Yes, and that's not good. We don't checkdowns, don't get 0:15:12.920 --> 0:15:15.760 fantasy points. And so I got a bench grade on 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:16.200 Tank Dell. 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:16.640 CJ. 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:18.880 Stroud, I've got a C grade on his play has 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:22.160 been meh in part because he's just not throwing downfield 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:25.200 very often. He's twenty first in average throw distance, he's 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:28.760 twenty fourth in completion percentage of throws of more than twenty. 0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:33.800 Yards and he scored. Just get this here, what's week sixteen? Yeah? CJ. 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:37.600 Stroud has one touchdown on a pass of more than 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:38.560 twenty yards this year. 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:40.880 Coow, that's it. Wow. 0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:44.400 Kansas City's pass defense just got Jamis Winston benched and 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:47.200 they're giving up one touchdown pass per game over the 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:48.280 last five games. 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:51.080 Ce grade for c J. Stroud. All right, let's go 0:15:51.120 --> 0:15:51.840 over to Kansas City. 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:53.480 The biggest question I've been getting all week is what 0:15:53.520 --> 0:15:56.600 to do about Patrick Mahomes. Here's the problem. Yes, he's 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:58.480 gonna play through the high akeel spring, Yeah, but what 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:03.120 happens when he can extend plays? That's the best thing 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:06.160 that Patrick Mahomes does is when he breaks pocket and 0:16:06.200 --> 0:16:08.880 he's rolling and throwing on the run. But what if 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:10.960 he can't run? What if he can't break out of 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:14.480 the pocket? And the other problem the left tackle for 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:17.600 the Chiefs is a disaster with DJ Humphries or Joe Tooney. 0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:21.760 These guys the last two weeks, just these two guys 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:26.880 have given up fifteen quarterback pressures the last two weeks. 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:31.920 And here comes Daniil Hunter and Will Anderson is this 0:16:32.120 --> 0:16:35.320 could be a disaster for Patrick Mahomes. So I can 0:16:35.360 --> 0:16:37.880 only get you to a C grade on Mahomes. That 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:40.720 brings in a Xavier Worthy. He runs from the slot 0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:43.360 more than any other Chief And here's your one glimmer 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:47.480 of hope. The Houston Texans slot cornerback is Jalen Petrie. 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:50.520 He was lost for the season two weeks ago. His 0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:56.360 replacement last week Jimmy Ward, targeted twelve times, gave up 0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:58.400 ten receptions. 0:16:57.640 --> 0:16:58.400 In one game. 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:02.400 Nice, and so Xavier Worthy comes into the C grade. 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:05.920 I've got DeAndre Hopkins on the bench, even though he's 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:08.359 the most reliable of the Chiefs receivers, but he's highly 0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:11.399 touchdown dependent because his typical four catches don't add up 0:17:11.440 --> 0:17:15.600 too much if he doesn't score. When he does not score, Hopkins' 0:17:15.720 --> 0:17:18.239 average game is four catches for forty eight yards, and 0:17:18.280 --> 0:17:20.800 that's not good enough in the semi finals. So I've 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:23.600 got him on the bench. Now, Hollywood Brown's gonna come back. 0:17:23.600 --> 0:17:26.680 He's gonna siphon off a couple yeah, like like twelve 0:17:26.760 --> 0:17:28.960 two catches, two targets. 0:17:28.480 --> 0:17:33.320 Maybe twelve, but just enough, just enough snaps exactly. 0:17:33.080 --> 0:17:33.600 Yep, yep. 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:38.000 So he's on the bench too. Obviously, so is Travis 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:42.560 Kelcey and Noah Gray Wow hannibalizing each other. Kelsey just 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:46.240 the two touchdowns this year, Gray has five scores in 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:47.440 the last five weeks. 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:50.520 And they're going up against And this also worries me. 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:53.320 I told you they've got this tackle problems on the 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:55.160 Chiefs and Will Anderson Daniel Hunter. 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:56.919 I worry these guys are going to be asked to 0:17:56.960 --> 0:17:59.159 block more that could be a factor. 0:17:59.400 --> 0:18:02.919 Houston's the fifth fewest tight end receptions and the fourth 0:18:03.000 --> 0:18:06.800 fewest tight end yards. I'm not starting Kelsey or Gray Wow. 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:10.080 And that leaves us with Isaiah Pacheco. 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:13.160 First. I have to say this, I was. 0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:17.360 I was not exactly right. 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:20.320 I thought Pacheco would have a bigger, more productive role 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:23.480 upon returning. It hasn't really worked out that way. And 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:25.920 the Houston run defense has completely shut down three of 0:18:25.960 --> 0:18:29.240 its last four opponents. Miami, Jacksonville and Dallas ran for 0:18:29.280 --> 0:18:32.080 three yards per carry and nobody scored, and nobody top 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:33.200 forty six rushing yards. 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:36.840 Yeah, as another professional athlete who has broken his fibula, 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:39.119 maybe maybe they're easing him in a little bit. You know, 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:40.800 you can't go right full gear. 0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:44.879 I was hoping that Hunt was a yes. Ask me, 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:46.719 I was. 0:18:46.840 --> 0:18:48.879 I didn't think Hunt was so bad. I thought they 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.520 would just turn this thing, turn Pacheco loose. It hasn't 0:18:51.560 --> 0:18:53.439 really worked out that way, and he's only a C 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:56.520 grade in this game. When we come back, take a 0:18:56.600 --> 0:18:58.920 chance on me. Nine players you would not normally start. 0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:01.960 Many of these guys are on the waiver wire. Find 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:04.080 out who they are. Do you want to go fishing 0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:06.320 into the waiver wire in the semi finals. 0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:07.520 Maybe we'll try. 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:09.360 To build cases for our guys and you can make 0:19:09.600 --> 0:19:12.639 the final decision about who's right for your roster. Maybe 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:15.199 you just block somebody else from picking up these guys. 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:18.879 Take a chance on me coming up when we come. 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:42.040 Back, James, on me, nine players you would not only start, 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:43.840 a lot of these guys are on the waiver wire. 0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:46.240 Let's be get at the quarterback position, Scott. 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:49.239 Fish, we got Yeah, I'm gonna start a little grimmy here. 0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:52.560 I'm going with Cooper Rush, who gets a bottom ranked 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:56.000 pass defense in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Rush himself has 0:19:56.000 --> 0:19:58.520 got multiple scores in three the last five, averaging about 0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:00.719 two hundred and thirty yards in that But the Bucks 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:04.400 will be without Antoine Winfield from the knee, Jordan Whitehead 0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:07.440 out with the pack. Then you have Tyke Smith questionable 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:11.680 with the knee, Christian Isisian questionable with knee, Mike Edwards 0:20:11.840 --> 0:20:14.960 questionable with a hammy. The only the only guy that's 0:20:15.000 --> 0:20:17.959 healthy in that defensive backfield is backup strong safety Kveon 0:20:18.040 --> 0:20:22.000 Meriweather and his pass Arabian in his in his coverage 0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:23.520 this year is one thirty seven. 0:20:23.760 --> 0:20:26.879 Jeez man, that is that is tempting. 0:20:26.920 --> 0:20:28.879 I like I have Cooper Rush with his highest grade 0:20:28.920 --> 0:20:32.040 of the year, right, he's like quarterback fifteen for me, jeez, 0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:33.960 thor you'll take a chance with me quarterback. 0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:35.800 I would like to dedicate my take a chance on 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:38.840 many players this week to my coworkers, Delayne and Friedman, 0:20:38.880 --> 0:20:40.920 the only guys who are still alive against me in. 0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:42.280 The Coworker eighteen League. 0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:44.560 They need all the help they can get, So I'm 0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:46.960 gonna try to help you guys out. We're gonna start 0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:49.520 with Patriots quarterback Drake May against the Bills. 0:20:49.760 --> 0:20:50.880 Drake May quarterback one. 0:20:50.960 --> 0:20:53.119 In each of his last two starts, he had a 0:20:53.160 --> 0:20:56.320 passing touch He has a passing touchdown in six consecutive games. 0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:56.920 One more. 0:20:56.960 --> 0:20:58.760 He gets one in this one, he's gonna tie Jim 0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:02.840 Plunkett seventy one for the single season franchise record by 0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:05.159 a rookie. And he's gonna get it because this is 0:21:05.160 --> 0:21:08.160 a really good matchup against a languishing Bill's pass defense. 0:21:08.359 --> 0:21:10.880 Since Week ten, Buffalo has allowed the fifth most yards 0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:13.600 per attempt in the NFL and the fourth most passing 0:21:13.680 --> 0:21:14.399 yards per game. 0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:19.440 I was gonna say, thor, you have no idea how 0:21:19.480 --> 0:21:21.399 good it is, how good it feels to win a 0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:22.680 guillotine league, because you. 0:21:22.680 --> 0:21:25.680 Know, but you know what I've I've been dreaming about this. 0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:28.760 No, yeah, I mean the audience probably doesn't realize it 0:21:28.760 --> 0:21:29.879 because I never bring it up. 0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:31.199 But I've been thinking a lot about this. 0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:33.680 Yeah, yeah, And the next time I see those boys 0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:36.080 in person, the things I'm gonna say. 0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:39.040 Caleb Williams goes up against the Lions. When these teams 0:21:39.040 --> 0:21:41.560 met on Thanksgiving Day, Williams threw for two hundred and 0:21:41.560 --> 0:21:44.920 fifty six yards and three touchdowns. And since that game, obviously, 0:21:44.960 --> 0:21:48.320 the Lions have been even further decimated by injury, giving 0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:52.200 up the second most fantasy points to quarterbacks. The regression. 0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:56.760 Injury regression is so bad. Over the past three weeks, 0:21:57.240 --> 0:22:00.800 Detroit has allowed one fewer touchdown pass then they had 0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:03.800 allowed the entire rest of the season. 0:22:04.480 --> 0:22:07.560 In the last three weeks. Caleb Williams Scott, you taking 0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:08.560 chance with me running back? 0:22:08.760 --> 0:22:11.680 Yeah, yeah, I'm going with my prespect from a few 0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:13.720 weeks ago, and you'll take a chance on me running 0:22:13.760 --> 0:22:16.359 back from last week. It's another really good spot for 0:22:16.440 --> 0:22:23.840 Tajay Spears last week with Pollard hurt in the game, 0:22:24.720 --> 0:22:27.280 Spears before the game, I guess Spears saw eight more 0:22:27.320 --> 0:22:31.280 snaps than Pollard ran twenty seven more routes twenty seven 0:22:31.359 --> 0:22:35.280 routes to Pollard seven. Pollard wasn't practicing this week. He 0:22:35.400 --> 0:22:37.560 might completely miss the game again, but this happened the 0:22:37.560 --> 0:22:40.080 week before and he did play. But he gets much 0:22:40.119 --> 0:22:42.359 of a lot of the past catching work. Indye allows 0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:45.160 thirty one touches per game to running backs, third most 0:22:45.200 --> 0:22:48.280 conboy yards on their way to be a bottom six matchup. 0:22:48.320 --> 0:22:52.000 For our top six matchup for running backs, Taji Spears. 0:22:51.680 --> 0:22:55.119 Taji Spears, Okay, thor, your take a chance with me 0:22:55.160 --> 0:22:55.880 running back today? 0:22:55.920 --> 0:22:57.959 Thank You're lucky Stars you're not a forty nine ers 0:22:58.040 --> 0:22:58.960 running back because you will. 0:22:58.880 --> 0:23:01.800 Be on ir you were, I would be mine. Now. 0:23:01.880 --> 0:23:03.879 A lesser man, of course, would have gone with Patrick 0:23:03.880 --> 0:23:05.439 Taylor here. That's easy. 0:23:05.520 --> 0:23:07.359 That's the easy That is the easy one. We're going 0:23:07.440 --> 0:23:09.880 to talk about Patrick Taylor later. But for my take 0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:11.679 a chance on me guy. We wanted to go deeper, 0:23:11.720 --> 0:23:15.040 and we're going Izy at Bona Conda behind him. In 0:23:15.080 --> 0:23:18.119 San Francisco, McCaffrey has the knee, Mason has the ankle, 0:23:18.119 --> 0:23:20.800 Elijah Mitchell has a hamstring. Now, Isaac Garrendo has a 0:23:20.800 --> 0:23:22.880 foot injury, expected to miss this out. 0:23:22.920 --> 0:23:23.600 He's been ruled out. 0:23:23.640 --> 0:23:25.400 Oh, he's been and he is out. Okay. 0:23:25.640 --> 0:23:28.600 So Patrick Taylor and Izzy are the last two healthy 0:23:28.800 --> 0:23:32.040 running backs on San Francisco's roster. They have Keyshawn Vaughan 0:23:32.119 --> 0:23:33.399 on the practice not count. 0:23:33.640 --> 0:23:36.800 Technically, it does not come, not even a running back, 0:23:36.840 --> 0:23:37.520 I don't think now. 0:23:37.560 --> 0:23:41.320 Most shout out to Vandy, shout out to the commenters. 0:23:41.640 --> 0:23:44.000 Most expect Patrick Taylor to get all the usage. But 0:23:44.160 --> 0:23:46.720 are we sure? For are we sure? 0:23:46.800 --> 0:23:49.920 Oh? I'm not sure. Taylor's a career special teamer and if. 0:23:49.800 --> 0:23:51.959 He doesn't get all the work, and that he doesn't 0:23:52.040 --> 0:23:52.840 is going to easy. 0:23:53.320 --> 0:23:53.439 Uh. 0:23:53.680 --> 0:23:56.000 The forty nine ers are a perfect system for a 0:23:56.080 --> 0:23:58.119 bona conda as I talked about last I think. 0:23:58.240 --> 0:24:00.600 Or two weeks ago with the priest two weeks ago. 0:24:00.760 --> 0:24:04.600 Yeah, Since twenty twenty two, running backs and Kyle Shanahan's 0:24:04.640 --> 0:24:08.200 offensive system averaged one point eight two yards per carry 0:24:08.280 --> 0:24:11.760 before contact during that stretch. That is the second best 0:24:11.760 --> 0:24:15.640 mark in the NFL, behind only the Eagles. That facilitates 0:24:15.680 --> 0:24:18.080 the kind of post snap creases. That is, he uses 0:24:18.119 --> 0:24:20.520 to hit dingers. If he gets on the field, he 0:24:20.680 --> 0:24:23.600 is a walking threat to run for a fifty yard touchdown. 0:24:24.000 --> 0:24:26.800 Jerome Ford goes up against Cincinnati, and with Nick Chubb 0:24:26.920 --> 0:24:29.000 done for the year, Ford is the sole back in 0:24:29.040 --> 0:24:32.760 a smash spot against a reeling Cincinnati defense. Last week, 0:24:32.840 --> 0:24:35.399 the Begals gave up three touchdowns to the Titans backs. 0:24:35.480 --> 0:24:37.000 As Scott mentioned, the. 0:24:36.960 --> 0:24:39.520 Week before, Rico Doubtle ran for a career high one 0:24:39.560 --> 0:24:41.280 hundred and thirty one yards. The week before that, the 0:24:41.359 --> 0:24:44.840 Steelers backs rolled up in insane two hundred and forty 0:24:44.840 --> 0:24:47.760 six combo yards, and the week before that JK. 0:24:47.920 --> 0:24:49.200 Dobbins scored twice. 0:24:49.440 --> 0:24:54.199 Jerome Ford startable for sure this week, even with DTRT Dow, 0:24:54.280 --> 0:24:56.000 which I don't love let's go to the receivers. 0:24:56.000 --> 0:24:56.440 Scott. 0:24:56.920 --> 0:24:58.520 Yeah, I'm going with a tight end because I know 0:24:58.600 --> 0:25:00.720 y'all need tight end help this time a year, or 0:25:00.840 --> 0:25:04.600 really all season and really the last few years. Chicka 0:25:04.680 --> 0:25:07.639 Konku went eight for fifty nine on ten targets last week. 0:25:07.880 --> 0:25:10.879 Eight of those ten targets came from Mason Rudolph in 0:25:11.080 --> 0:25:14.720 just under two quarters last week, Westbrook, Kine and Tyler 0:25:14.760 --> 0:25:18.320 Boyd have not practiced. We're not practicing all week. They 0:25:18.320 --> 0:25:20.720 got in some practice on Friday, so we'll we'll see 0:25:20.720 --> 0:25:22.679 if they suit up. They may suit up, and if 0:25:22.720 --> 0:25:24.960 they don't, even more wheels up for Chicka kon Ku. 0:25:25.040 --> 0:25:28.360 But the Colts allowed the third most receptions and scores 0:25:28.400 --> 0:25:31.119 and eighth most yards to tight ends. They gave up 0:25:31.160 --> 0:25:33.120 sixteen catches for one hundred and sixty yards and three 0:25:33.160 --> 0:25:35.760 scores to Titans in just the last two weeks. It's 0:25:35.800 --> 0:25:37.600 a good spot for a guy who may end up 0:25:37.640 --> 0:25:39.040 being Mason Rudolph's will. 0:25:38.920 --> 0:25:40.720 Be and your take a chance on me. 0:25:40.840 --> 0:25:44.960 Receiver thor Is Keon Coleman facing the Patriots now. Keon Coleman, 0:25:44.960 --> 0:25:47.240 who returns last week from his wrist injury. He was 0:25:47.280 --> 0:25:50.240 only targeted two times and zero times on. 0:25:50.200 --> 0:25:50.920 A first read. 0:25:51.359 --> 0:25:54.159 But this is a very sneaky matchup for Keon Coleman 0:25:54.200 --> 0:25:56.760 to have a big game. New England plays a ton 0:25:56.800 --> 0:26:00.520 of single high coverage. Coleman the deep ballan and he 0:26:00.680 --> 0:26:03.080 feasts on single high coverage because it opens up is 0:26:03.080 --> 0:26:06.120 one on one downtown shots. Coleman has a team leading 0:26:06.160 --> 0:26:08.399 two point nine to four yards per route run against 0:26:08.400 --> 0:26:11.159 single high, which is the least surprising thing ever. And 0:26:11.200 --> 0:26:14.280 in this game, the only good cornerback that New England has, 0:26:14.600 --> 0:26:18.040 Christian Gonzalez, is likely to be on Amari Cooper. The 0:26:18.080 --> 0:26:20.440 rest of the cornerbacks for New England are not good. 0:26:20.600 --> 0:26:23.600 They do not play a coverage style that shuts down Coleman. 0:26:23.680 --> 0:26:25.400 All has you gotta do is put the second safety 0:26:25.400 --> 0:26:27.720 out there high and you can take Coleman away the 0:26:27.800 --> 0:26:30.600 single high. He he is a threat every play to 0:26:30.680 --> 0:26:31.680 hit a dinger as well. 0:26:31.840 --> 0:26:34.760 I'm I'm with you on this, I think and Keyak 0:26:34.800 --> 0:26:37.400 Coleman to me in Dynasty, it's like trade for him. 0:26:37.480 --> 0:26:39.360 He's gonna moss a couple of people on Sunday. 0:26:39.440 --> 0:26:42.600 I think you're right, yeah, uh right, take a chance 0:26:42.600 --> 0:26:45.280 on me. Receiver Roma Dunes against Detroit. I already told you, 0:26:45.359 --> 0:26:48.159 like Caleb Williams, we have a Kendallvilldor alert. 0:26:48.400 --> 0:26:52.119 You know, if there's any to mention, you will do it. 0:26:52.240 --> 0:26:54.960 Shout out Georgia Southern, oh d. Maybe you shouldn't. 0:26:55.080 --> 0:26:58.560 He's your new starting cornerback for the Lions, replacing Carlton Davis. 0:26:58.760 --> 0:27:02.439 And you know the book, Kindle, He's awful. Ranking his 0:27:02.480 --> 0:27:07.520 Pro football focuses cornerback one hundred and twenty out of 0:27:07.520 --> 0:27:11.359 a possible one hundred and twenty five greatest cornerbacks. Odonsay 0:27:11.480 --> 0:27:16.080 will draw Kendelvildor the most he's averaging a Doonsay's usage 0:27:16.080 --> 0:27:18.680 has gone way up, averaging eight targets a game over 0:27:18.720 --> 0:27:21.040 the last five games, and he's one week removed from 0:27:21.040 --> 0:27:24.720 scoring twice against a much better Niners secondary Roma Doonsay 0:27:25.280 --> 0:27:27.080 as a possible sleeper for your team. 0:27:27.400 --> 0:27:28.679 Let's go back to the matchups. 0:27:29.240 --> 0:27:34.520 Scott Arizona taking on Carolina, the Arizona backfield decimated by 0:27:34.560 --> 0:27:36.879 injury except James Connor, except for the. 0:27:36.880 --> 0:27:40.040 One the matter, the one that matters. Yeah, James Connor. 0:27:40.080 --> 0:27:42.000 I have an A grade on. We just watched Rico 0:27:42.080 --> 0:27:44.240 Dwell run up one hundred and forty nine on this 0:27:44.320 --> 0:27:46.680 Panthers team, Barkley one hundred and twenty four of the 0:27:46.720 --> 0:27:48.800 week before that, Bucky irv in one hundred and eighty 0:27:48.800 --> 0:27:51.960 five the week before that, run up by you know, 0:27:52.080 --> 0:27:54.680 total yards. I should say that's not just rushing. And 0:27:55.200 --> 0:27:58.879 in that same game, White had seventy eight yards as well. 0:28:00.280 --> 0:28:02.760 Out of the last six lead backs, only Kareem Hunt 0:28:02.800 --> 0:28:05.360 failed to hit one hundred yards against this Panthers defense. 0:28:05.960 --> 0:28:07.919 James Connor one hundred and twenty plus and three scores 0:28:07.920 --> 0:28:09.760 did in just the last two games. A grade there 0:28:09.840 --> 0:28:12.320 auto a grade for Trey McBride. I would go into it, 0:28:12.359 --> 0:28:13.080 but I don't think. 0:28:12.960 --> 0:28:15.560 I need to touchdown coming this week. 0:28:15.720 --> 0:28:19.600 Yeah. Maybe maybe he's set the record now most catches 0:28:19.640 --> 0:28:23.040 without without a touchdown the NFL eighty seven hundred and 0:28:23.040 --> 0:28:26.480 sixteen targets no touchdown. Kyler Murray gets a C grade. 0:28:26.520 --> 0:28:29.320 Carolina is bottom six against quarterbacks, allowing the fourth most 0:28:29.400 --> 0:28:32.160 passing scores. They've allowed multiple scores in three to the last 0:28:32.160 --> 0:28:35.360 four and nine of their fourteen games, nine times. 0:28:35.040 --> 0:28:36.520 In hunteen games. 0:28:37.119 --> 0:28:40.320 They're also bottom ten against running quarterbacks, but that's kind 0:28:40.360 --> 0:28:43.760 of dried up with Murray lately, but he has consistently 0:28:43.800 --> 0:28:45.440 gained that two hundred and twenty to two hundred and 0:28:45.440 --> 0:28:47.160 seventy and maybe in a matchup where they give up 0:28:47.200 --> 0:28:50.160 running rushing yards, he will get some C grade there. 0:28:50.520 --> 0:28:52.920 DJ Dallas is an interesting dart throw. I don't think 0:28:52.960 --> 0:28:55.240 you should do it, but if you're really stretched. We 0:28:55.320 --> 0:28:59.520 are actually no other running backs on that team. Marvin Harrison, 0:28:59.560 --> 0:29:02.200 I'm giving the C grade two. J. C. Horn is 0:29:02.560 --> 0:29:06.200 dabbled as a shadow corner. He's allowed some big games 0:29:06.520 --> 0:29:09.200 to several guys even in shadowing. I think we mentioned 0:29:09.240 --> 0:29:11.880 that last last week, and this is this is a 0:29:11.880 --> 0:29:14.880 good matchup here. Otherwise middle of the pack, but in 0:29:14.920 --> 0:29:18.840 most games you're seeing sub ten fantasy points. Has seven scores, 0:29:18.880 --> 0:29:20.680 so he might need the score, but he's gained six 0:29:20.680 --> 0:29:24.240 plus targets basically every week. So SEA grade on Marvin Harrison. 0:29:25.560 --> 0:29:28.240 Over the Carolina side, Bryce Young, I'm giving a SE 0:29:28.320 --> 0:29:31.360 grade two as well. Cards have allowed three multi score 0:29:31.400 --> 0:29:33.600 games this year, just a two hundred and thirty two 0:29:33.680 --> 0:29:36.320 yard average, but two of those three came in the 0:29:36.360 --> 0:29:39.440 last three weeks. Young has a score in seven straight 0:29:39.520 --> 0:29:43.080 multiple and three of those if if you count rushing 0:29:43.120 --> 0:29:46.360 scores bottom ten d and stopping the rushing side of quarterbacks. 0:29:46.400 --> 0:29:48.600 So Bryce Young is going to get a see. Adam 0:29:48.640 --> 0:29:51.640 Stealin's good to get a see as well. We saw 0:29:51.680 --> 0:29:54.480 his production really drop down with the return of Jalen 0:29:54.520 --> 0:29:58.000 Cocher taking over some of that slot roll from Adam Thielen, 0:29:58.080 --> 0:30:00.760 but Thieland still saw the most targets. Most routes are 0:30:00.800 --> 0:30:04.680 on catches dead even with Cocher and snaps Arizona's Arizona 0:30:04.760 --> 0:30:07.440 is eleventh worst against the slot. A slot guy has 0:30:07.520 --> 0:30:10.760 led in Fantasy points against Arizona the last two weeks. 0:30:10.760 --> 0:30:13.720 That was Jackson Smith and Jigba and to Mario Douglas, 0:30:14.880 --> 0:30:17.520 Jalen Cocker Cocher. I'm giving a bench grade. 0:30:17.320 --> 0:30:20.080 Though to uh, we're not going to chase last week's game. 0:30:20.040 --> 0:30:22.080 Yeah, he had an eighty three yard score. That was 0:30:22.280 --> 0:30:24.680 the vast majority of what he did. Lea gets out, 0:30:24.760 --> 0:30:27.440 so maybe there's more volume there, but uh, he's on 0:30:27.480 --> 0:30:30.440 the bench. Chewba Hubbard b grade second in the league 0:30:30.480 --> 0:30:33.160 and carries inside the five. He's become a true belcow 0:30:33.640 --> 0:30:36.560 Ads has. He's added four catches and back to back 0:30:36.600 --> 0:30:41.040 and the cards are seventh easiest for fantasy backs in 0:30:41.080 --> 0:30:42.880 the in the past game, but bottom ten in the 0:30:42.960 --> 0:30:46.360 rush game. So just a B grade. Uh, it really 0:30:46.360 --> 0:30:48.160 takes a lot of volume to tag the cards. I 0:30:48.160 --> 0:30:50.080 think he does get it, but just a B grade there. 0:30:50.400 --> 0:30:51.800 Did you give celan An A or B? 0:30:52.040 --> 0:30:54.080 I gave him a C. I could go to a 0:30:54.120 --> 0:30:55.440 bee because lagats. 0:30:55.320 --> 0:30:57.720 Everything you said, all the words you said sounded a 0:30:57.840 --> 0:30:59.280 ar B. I'm really surprised. 0:30:59.400 --> 0:31:03.160 Yeah, my problem is every single one of his will 0:31:03.200 --> 0:31:06.000 bees like statistics. The last two weeks went down with 0:31:06.040 --> 0:31:08.360 the return of Coker. If you think Legett being out 0:31:08.840 --> 0:31:10.560 is gonna bounce it back up, all right, let's go, 0:31:10.680 --> 0:31:11.080 let's go. 0:31:11.000 --> 0:31:12.600 Be all right. I'm not trying to talk into it. 0:31:12.720 --> 0:31:14.760 Nuh no, it's fairly that's out now. 0:31:14.960 --> 0:31:17.400 Thor We're gonna switch to Cleveland and Cincinnati here, and 0:31:17.440 --> 0:31:19.680 I'm just gonna steal a little bit of this because 0:31:19.720 --> 0:31:22.640 I did a bunch of DTR work Dorian Thompson Robinson. 0:31:23.240 --> 0:31:25.800 He's thrown one hundred and forty six NFL passes. That 0:31:25.920 --> 0:31:27.600 is not a trivial sample size. 0:31:27.760 --> 0:31:29.200 Sure, he has one. 0:31:29.080 --> 0:31:34.680 Touchdown and seven interceptions over the past two years. Of 0:31:34.720 --> 0:31:38.080 the sixty two quarterbacks who've thrown at least one hundred passes. 0:31:38.800 --> 0:31:46.920 Dorian Thompson Robinson ranks sixty two in passer Rating. He's awful, awful, 0:31:47.080 --> 0:31:50.240 and I'm not putting my in the semi finals. I'm 0:31:50.240 --> 0:31:54.240 not putting any of my leagues at risk of Dorian 0:31:54.240 --> 0:31:55.280 Thompson Robinson. 0:31:56.320 --> 0:31:58.320 Gentlemen, start your tanking engines. 0:32:00.080 --> 0:32:02.200 When people say there's not tanking in the NFL, we 0:32:02.240 --> 0:32:06.040 have contradictory evidence every year, and DTR being our most 0:32:06.040 --> 0:32:08.160 recent example. And on those one hundred and forty six 0:32:08.240 --> 0:32:12.120 career passing attempts, charge DTR three point seven yards per 0:32:12.160 --> 0:32:16.720 attemptful not the best. You are very clearly keeping him 0:32:16.760 --> 0:32:19.080 on the bench. Jerome Ford was charged to take a 0:32:19.160 --> 0:32:22.520 chance on me guy Jerry Judy, who has been or 0:32:22.720 --> 0:32:25.400 was awesome when he was playing with Winston. Since we ate, 0:32:25.560 --> 0:32:30.000 Judy was wide receiver three crazy in fantasy points per game. 0:32:30.440 --> 0:32:33.720 And this is a it's an awesome matchup against the Bengals, 0:32:33.720 --> 0:32:35.760 And it's the tricky part, right, it just is. 0:32:35.840 --> 0:32:38.560 But the benching of Winston, I assume is going to 0:32:38.600 --> 0:32:41.960 cripple Judy. Winston loved Judy through them all the time. 0:32:42.200 --> 0:32:45.400 A production dip is coming I'm I'm going to ballpark 0:32:45.440 --> 0:32:46.760 this one as a see what do you. 0:32:46.760 --> 0:32:48.400 Think about the best? I think that's all I could do. 0:32:48.520 --> 0:32:50.520 Yeah, it's it's tough to grade him without knowing his 0:32:50.600 --> 0:32:51.280 Madden rating. 0:32:51.320 --> 0:32:53.440 Now yeah, great point. 0:32:53.520 --> 0:32:57.240 Well, yeah, we'll dig into that one. Elijah Morris and Tillman. 0:32:57.640 --> 0:32:59.640 Tillman is dinged up. Of both they might keep on 0:32:59.640 --> 0:33:02.480 the bench. Can't use any with DTR starting. I did 0:33:02.520 --> 0:33:05.800 given Djoko a bee and Djoko was inactive last week 0:33:05.840 --> 0:33:08.680 due to a hamstring injury. Return to practice on Friday. 0:33:08.840 --> 0:33:11.320 He's officially questionable, but it looks like he's going to play. 0:33:11.480 --> 0:33:14.760 His last two games, he had thirty targets, three touchdowns, 0:33:14.880 --> 0:33:17.680 twenty one point seven fantasy points per game, and with 0:33:17.800 --> 0:33:20.080 Jamis went, you go to the entire sample with Winston 0:33:20.360 --> 0:33:22.960 and Djoku average nine point seven targets a game in 0:33:23.000 --> 0:33:24.640 fifteen point two fantasy. 0:33:24.240 --> 0:33:24.880 Points per game. 0:33:25.680 --> 0:33:29.000 DTR again hurts his outlook, but the Bengals defense has 0:33:29.040 --> 0:33:31.959 allowed the third most yards and the second most touchdowns 0:33:32.240 --> 0:33:35.120 and the most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends, 0:33:35.120 --> 0:33:36.840 so it's a good matchup for him. But I had 0:33:36.840 --> 0:33:39.040 to go be and then the Bengals side will be quick. 0:33:39.080 --> 0:33:41.560 Joe Burrow of course must start A. He was limited 0:33:41.640 --> 0:33:44.480 during Friday's practice, but Zach Taylor said the same day 0:33:44.520 --> 0:33:46.920 that he is a full go. Chase Brown has I 0:33:46.960 --> 0:33:48.880 can't believe this, but he has become a must start 0:33:48.880 --> 0:33:51.520 A as of course Jamar Chase says, and then t 0:33:51.720 --> 0:33:54.680 Higgins is also a must start A. Higgins was limited 0:33:54.720 --> 0:33:58.640 on Wednesday with knee designation, and he didn't practice on Thursday, 0:33:58.680 --> 0:34:01.400 but he was able to return on and just like Burrow, 0:34:01.520 --> 0:34:03.160 Zach Taylor said that he will play. 0:34:02.960 --> 0:34:03.520 In this game. 0:34:03.680 --> 0:34:06.080 And because of that, I was toggling between if I 0:34:06.080 --> 0:34:07.760 thought like if Higgins wasn't gonna play, I was like, 0:34:07.840 --> 0:34:09.920 is Gisiki gonna be a tight end one this week? 0:34:10.120 --> 0:34:12.160 But then knowing that Higgins is gonna play, you have 0:34:12.200 --> 0:34:13.560 to put Gisiki on the bench. 0:34:13.880 --> 0:34:15.000 He's basically just. 0:34:14.920 --> 0:34:17.120 The binary thing of if Higgins is out there or not, 0:34:17.520 --> 0:34:19.320 So you have to keep Gisiki on the bench. 0:34:19.480 --> 0:34:21.319 I I'm with you on all of that. 0:34:22.120 --> 0:34:24.799 This is gonna be a good week to have Cincinnati 0:34:24.840 --> 0:34:26.120 Bengals on your roster. 0:34:26.280 --> 0:34:28.280 Sure, it feels like every week easingly. 0:34:28.280 --> 0:34:30.359 I think Lamar Chase is my number two or number 0:34:30.400 --> 0:34:33.200 three overall player. So yeah, it's it's gonna be a 0:34:33.239 --> 0:34:35.799 great week when we come back. Will it be a 0:34:35.840 --> 0:34:39.800 great week for Lamar Jackson against a team that shuts 0:34:39.920 --> 0:34:42.840 him down every single time they play? 0:34:43.480 --> 0:34:45.960 The Steelers are his kryptonite. 0:34:46.160 --> 0:34:48.839 Find out what to do with Lamar Jackson when we 0:34:48.840 --> 0:35:02.239 come back the Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back to a 0:35:02.280 --> 0:35:06.840 block of matchups, including Pittsburgh taking on Baltimore. But before 0:35:06.920 --> 0:35:09.600 we get to that, just a quick reminder. Playoff Guillotine 0:35:09.680 --> 0:35:13.160 Leagues are coming. You can reserve a spot now, but a 0:35:13.280 --> 0:35:16.520 Guillotine Leagues dot Com two different formats, the Guilletinies. These 0:35:16.560 --> 0:35:19.480 are very kind of standard guillotine league style, and then 0:35:19.560 --> 0:35:23.719 the Championship. These are big money, lots of players, lots 0:35:23.719 --> 0:35:26.600 of opportunities pick your favorite players. Check out both at 0:35:26.640 --> 0:35:29.839 Guillotine leagues dot Com. Pittsburgh takes on Baltimore. These teams 0:35:29.840 --> 0:35:31.919 have met four weeks ago in a low scoring game 0:35:31.960 --> 0:35:34.640 in which only two touchdowns were scored. And you're going 0:35:34.719 --> 0:35:38.600 to see some suppressed grades accordingly here, including Naji Harris 0:35:38.600 --> 0:35:40.600 that comes in with just a C grade. He's running hard, 0:35:40.600 --> 0:35:43.360 but it just isn't turning into production. Over the past 0:35:43.400 --> 0:35:46.680 six games, he's averaging only three point two yards per carry, 0:35:46.920 --> 0:35:48.960 and he has in top seventy five yards, and that 0:35:49.000 --> 0:35:52.120 ain't changing against a great Ravens run defense. They ranked 0:35:52.160 --> 0:35:54.440 number one in yards per carry, number two in rushing 0:35:54.480 --> 0:35:57.399 yards allowed, number one in yards after contact, at number 0:35:57.400 --> 0:36:00.359 two in run defense success rate. Naji Hair will need 0:36:00.360 --> 0:36:03.720 a goal line kerry to be fantasy meaningful in this game. 0:36:04.120 --> 0:36:06.880 And the only receivers that you care about with George 0:36:06.880 --> 0:36:10.719 Pickens out Pat Fryarmth. Honestly, he's the only other guy 0:36:10.719 --> 0:36:13.160 that you could you could start. He's been more active 0:36:13.239 --> 0:36:16.399 lately with Pickens out, and so that probably continues here. 0:36:16.520 --> 0:36:18.879 He has scored in three straight games, but he's only 0:36:18.960 --> 0:36:22.360 been targeted in the end zone one time all year, 0:36:22.760 --> 0:36:26.319 so I worry about the sustainability of those touchdowns. The 0:36:26.400 --> 0:36:29.120 Ravens are an improved tight end defense in the second 0:36:29.200 --> 0:36:31.640 half of the year. No tight end is top forty 0:36:31.680 --> 0:36:34.239 two yards and only two have scored. I've only got 0:36:34.239 --> 0:36:36.680 a C grade on Pat Fryermuth and a C grade 0:36:36.680 --> 0:36:39.439 on Russell Wilson. Without George Pickens, I don't like him. 0:36:39.680 --> 0:36:42.000 The last two games. Just one hundred and twenty eight 0:36:42.080 --> 0:36:44.759 yards and one hundred and fifty eight yards, mostly because 0:36:44.800 --> 0:36:48.360 George Pickens isn't on the field right and if you 0:36:48.400 --> 0:36:52.120 throw out the miserable Bengals pass defense. Since week eleven, 0:36:52.800 --> 0:36:55.560 Russell Wilson averaging just one hundred ninety yards and one 0:36:55.640 --> 0:36:58.600 touchdown per game, se grade on him. Jalen Warren on 0:36:58.640 --> 0:36:59.040 the bench. 0:36:59.280 --> 0:37:02.560 Let's go over to balt More. Let's start with Derrick Henry. 0:37:02.960 --> 0:37:04.920 This is now. It is just like auto A. 0:37:05.000 --> 0:37:07.239 Obviously you're starting in, but let me mention this because 0:37:07.239 --> 0:37:10.359 it's very important for the rest of this matchup. Dereck 0:37:10.440 --> 0:37:13.360 Henry's coming off a low usage game of just fourteen 0:37:13.440 --> 0:37:15.879 carries last week because the Giants got killed and they 0:37:15.960 --> 0:37:18.680 rested him for much of the second half. Listen to 0:37:18.680 --> 0:37:22.719 what has happened to Henry in the games after a 0:37:22.760 --> 0:37:25.640 game in which he's had rest. Week five, he had 0:37:25.680 --> 0:37:30.040 fifteen carries. The next week twenty four, Week eight, he 0:37:30.080 --> 0:37:34.400 had eleven carries. Next week twenty three, Week eleven, he 0:37:34.440 --> 0:37:38.320 had thirteen carries, the next week twenty four carries. 0:37:38.600 --> 0:37:40.760 So if you had low volume last week, last. 0:37:40.520 --> 0:37:43.680 Week, so he had last week had fourteen carries, I 0:37:43.719 --> 0:37:46.399 think it's gonna be all Derrick Henry in this game. 0:37:46.960 --> 0:37:49.400 So I've got an A on Henry and a B 0:37:49.840 --> 0:37:51.120 on Lamar Jackson. 0:37:51.120 --> 0:37:55.759 Okay, So historically Jackson is notoriously bad against the Steelers, 0:37:55.840 --> 0:37:59.400 averaging one touchdown pass. He has never scored a rushing 0:37:59.440 --> 0:38:03.399 touchdown on the Steelers. I see a heavy usage game 0:38:03.440 --> 0:38:07.000 coming from Derek Henri, which I just explained, and Jackson 0:38:07.080 --> 0:38:09.480 was very ineffective in the first meeting. Between these games, 0:38:09.480 --> 0:38:12.040 he completed forty eight percent of his passes and he 0:38:12.120 --> 0:38:13.880 only had one passing touchdown. 0:38:14.200 --> 0:38:15.000 The Steelers have. 0:38:14.920 --> 0:38:18.200 A terrific pass rush. They ranked third in ESPN's pass 0:38:18.320 --> 0:38:19.120 rush win rate. 0:38:19.600 --> 0:38:21.840 So and TJ. Watt is going to play in this game. 0:38:22.000 --> 0:38:25.040 So look, I know with Lamar Jackson you have to 0:38:25.080 --> 0:38:27.799 start him, but I I've just the letter grad I'm 0:38:27.800 --> 0:38:31.040 putting on him as a Bee. Okay, Mark Andrews B grade. 0:38:31.280 --> 0:38:34.120 He's tight ended three since Week six. He did nothing 0:38:34.120 --> 0:38:36.120 in the earlier matchup, and the Steelers are a good 0:38:36.120 --> 0:38:38.280 tight end defense. But it doesn't seem to matter to Andrews, 0:38:38.320 --> 0:38:41.880 who just set the Ravens all time touchdown record. He 0:38:42.000 --> 0:38:44.560 keeps succeeding in tough matchups. So I'm putting a B 0:38:44.640 --> 0:38:48.840 grade on him. Zay Flowers B grade. Steelers secondary's leaky 0:38:48.880 --> 0:38:52.040 of late. Both Eagles receivers crushed the Steelers last week 0:38:52.040 --> 0:38:54.160 and they've given up six wide receiver touchdowns in the 0:38:54.239 --> 0:38:57.240 last three games. Flowers scored in the earlier matchup. 0:38:58.080 --> 0:38:59.080 We will watch the. 0:38:58.960 --> 0:39:02.200 Injury status of Pitts for cornerback Dante Jackson, who's been 0:39:02.200 --> 0:39:03.920 dealing with a pinch nerve and if he can't go, 0:39:04.080 --> 0:39:07.239 that pushes special teamer James Pierre into coverage duty. And 0:39:07.400 --> 0:39:10.480 last week in relief, James Pierre gave up a touchdown, 0:39:10.880 --> 0:39:14.120 so that would help the prospects of Zay Flowers as well. 0:39:14.400 --> 0:39:18.040 Rashad Bateman is is injured and may not play in 0:39:18.040 --> 0:39:20.120 this game. In fact, they expect him not to play 0:39:20.160 --> 0:39:21.560 in this game, and I don't think you want to 0:39:21.560 --> 0:39:24.239 throw an injured player out there in a short week. 0:39:24.680 --> 0:39:26.879 So not a short week, but in your semi finals game. 0:39:27.400 --> 0:39:30.040 Let's go to our final matchup of this segment, which 0:39:30.200 --> 0:39:31.759 should be I think it's going to be the final 0:39:31.760 --> 0:39:34.120 one Tennessee taking on Indianapolis Scott. 0:39:34.400 --> 0:39:37.520 Yeah, in the past game, I really considered giving Mason 0:39:37.600 --> 0:39:39.879 Rudolph a starting grade, but just just couldn't get there. 0:39:39.880 --> 0:39:41.680 He went for two hundred plus and two scores in 0:39:41.719 --> 0:39:43.000 a half last week. 0:39:43.120 --> 0:39:43.920 I need to interrupt. 0:39:44.160 --> 0:39:44.879 Yeah, I was. 0:39:46.800 --> 0:39:49.799 While I'm while I'm moaning up to bat calls. Will 0:39:49.880 --> 0:39:51.640 Levis had had gone through that month where he was 0:39:51.640 --> 0:39:54.080 playing a lot better. I was optimistic it would continue. 0:39:54.560 --> 0:39:57.560 He's been awful the last two weeks and now benched inappropriately. 0:39:57.600 --> 0:40:01.000 So yeah, yeah, Colts kind of middle of the pack, 0:40:01.120 --> 0:40:03.839 multiple scores in about half, about two hundred and forty 0:40:03.880 --> 0:40:05.719 yards per game, but I just can't get there With 0:40:06.040 --> 0:40:09.480 Mason Rudolph. He relied super heavily on spears and the 0:40:09.520 --> 0:40:12.279 konku last week. We'll see if it happens again here. 0:40:12.480 --> 0:40:15.680 So I got a secret on Ridley. Though he saw 0:40:15.760 --> 0:40:19.520 his lowest target share since Week three last week, has 0:40:19.520 --> 0:40:21.640 only scored in two games and not since Week ten, 0:40:21.760 --> 0:40:24.200 fifty nine and sixty yards in the last two. In 0:40:24.239 --> 0:40:26.520 the last month, no wide receiver his top sixty five 0:40:26.600 --> 0:40:29.400 yards on the Colts. I'm still giving him a se 0:40:29.480 --> 0:40:32.240 grade on the back of his seven plus target average 0:40:32.239 --> 0:40:35.880 and the possibility that Westbrook, A, Keene and Boyd don't play. 0:40:35.920 --> 0:40:38.560 I think they might play, though they practiced on Friday. 0:40:38.560 --> 0:40:41.759 They're trending in that direction. I'm gonna leave them on 0:40:41.800 --> 0:40:44.280 the bench though. They just don't get enough production. Unless 0:40:44.280 --> 0:40:47.120 Westbrook A. Kine scores, they don't get enough production. My 0:40:47.200 --> 0:40:49.160 take a Chance on Me player was Chicka konk Wu 0:40:49.680 --> 0:40:52.359 and in the Running Game, I had take a Chance 0:40:52.360 --> 0:40:55.480 on Me player of Taji Spears. I'm also giving Tony 0:40:55.520 --> 0:40:58.640 Pollard a C grade if he plays, because playing hampered 0:40:58.680 --> 0:41:01.640 last week. He still got seven team touches. He just 0:41:01.680 --> 0:41:04.640 split it with Spears. He saw no pass game work, 0:41:04.680 --> 0:41:07.480 didn't see the you know, two minute Droe work, possibly 0:41:07.520 --> 0:41:11.120 not running routes much due to playing hurt. INDI's allowed 0:41:11.160 --> 0:41:13.279 thirty one touches per game, as I mentioned before, so 0:41:13.360 --> 0:41:15.759 if they split that, they can both be viable here. 0:41:15.800 --> 0:41:18.160 So I'm gonna give Tony Poller a C grade if 0:41:18.200 --> 0:41:21.680 he goes. On the other side, Anthony Richardson's gonna get 0:41:21.680 --> 0:41:23.279 a SE grade. And it's just because you know what 0:41:23.320 --> 0:41:25.759 you get. You're getting ten to twelve points rushing the 0:41:26.040 --> 0:41:29.399 rushing the ball. He's completely inaccurate. He can't even count 0:41:29.400 --> 0:41:31.520 on one hundred and fifty yards in a normal matchup, 0:41:32.000 --> 0:41:35.120 and the Titans allowed the third fewest passing yards. Maybe 0:41:35.120 --> 0:41:38.399 you'll get another touchdown passing, but simply a C grade, 0:41:38.440 --> 0:41:41.040 and I don't even feel good about that. Alec Pierce 0:41:41.120 --> 0:41:43.520 is ruled out. I'm not gonna start a Donna Mitchell 0:41:43.600 --> 0:41:47.400 in your semi finals Josh Downs. The Titans allowed the 0:41:47.480 --> 0:41:50.040 fewest fantasy points to the slot, and unless you want 0:41:50.120 --> 0:41:52.279 one to three catches in sub forty yards, you're not 0:41:52.320 --> 0:41:55.759 starting Josh Downs. Michael Pittman Junior is gonna get a 0:41:55.760 --> 0:41:58.279 se grade, though the Titans allow the second most to 0:41:58.320 --> 0:42:01.520 the perimeter. With Pierce out, there may be a few 0:42:01.600 --> 0:42:04.279 a little bit extra target work there for Pittman. He 0:42:04.400 --> 0:42:07.000 swaps sides a lot too, so he's going to be 0:42:07.000 --> 0:42:09.360 able to match up well against a Woozier or Baker 0:42:09.400 --> 0:42:12.239 on either side. Five catches in all four of his 0:42:12.320 --> 0:42:15.560 games since returning, and he usually gets between forty and 0:42:15.560 --> 0:42:17.839 one hundred yards, but he doesn't really score a munch. 0:42:17.920 --> 0:42:20.920 So Jonathan Taylor, I'm just giving a B grade on 0:42:21.040 --> 0:42:23.439 twenty three touches or more in four of the last five. 0:42:23.640 --> 0:42:26.600 That Detroit blowout was the one anomaly. We just saw 0:42:26.680 --> 0:42:29.680 Chase Brown go for an absolute ton against the Titans. 0:42:29.920 --> 0:42:34.400 Brian Robinson Junior and Chris Rodriguez also had very big games. 0:42:34.640 --> 0:42:37.120 Tank Bigsby was held to sixty two yards the other day, 0:42:37.160 --> 0:42:40.000 but he did get a score. Titans are just getting 0:42:40.040 --> 0:42:42.600 rocked over last month, but b grade because Jonathan Taylor 0:42:42.640 --> 0:42:46.520 over the last few weeks hasn't been amazing with his touches. 0:42:47.000 --> 0:42:49.280 Lots of touches, not a lot of not a lot. 0:42:49.120 --> 0:42:53.320 Of this whole season. Yeah, that's his whole season unfortunately. Yeah, 0:42:53.320 --> 0:42:54.239 how much time do we have left? 0:42:54.320 --> 0:42:57.400 Let me see we can sneak in a matchup here, No, 0:42:57.560 --> 0:43:00.680 we can't sneak in a matchup. Anthony is Anthony Richardson 0:43:01.680 --> 0:43:06.720 one hundred percent the starter for the Colts next off season, 0:43:06.800 --> 0:43:09.200 next season week one? Both of you, what do you think, 0:43:09.280 --> 0:43:13.400 Anthony Richardson? What is the let me phrase it differently, chance, 0:43:13.880 --> 0:43:16.920 Anthony Richardson is the starter week one for the Colts 0:43:18.800 --> 0:43:23.000 one hundred percent. Yes, you can't pull the plug this soon. 0:43:23.360 --> 0:43:25.400 You can't make the decision to have drafted him when 0:43:25.400 --> 0:43:27.360 he's one of the ross prospects who's ever gone in 0:43:27.360 --> 0:43:29.480 the top ten in the history of the NFL and 0:43:29.520 --> 0:43:30.680 then pull the plug in on that soon. 0:43:30.760 --> 0:43:32.600 Is why I was so dumb they bench from this season. 0:43:34.160 --> 0:43:36.440 Yeah, I was probably gonna go about eighty eighty five percent, 0:43:36.520 --> 0:43:39.760 but yeah, one hundred is probably right. You have to 0:43:40.120 --> 0:43:42.080 do what you can in the offseason to get him 0:43:42.120 --> 0:43:45.040 ready and then try it again at the start. It's tough, though, 0:43:45.120 --> 0:43:45.799 it's really tough. 0:43:45.840 --> 0:43:48.920 Here's the problem, and you're probably right. It's probably going 0:43:48.960 --> 0:43:49.399 to be him. 0:43:50.080 --> 0:43:54.040 He's not getting better. No, he's not getting better. 0:43:54.440 --> 0:43:56.959 It would be all different if you were seeing incremental 0:43:57.000 --> 0:43:58.520 progress from Anthony Richardson. 0:43:58.840 --> 0:44:01.160 It's not happening, and that is a problem right there. 0:44:01.920 --> 0:44:03.920 What's not a problem is our number two of Fantasy 0:44:03.920 --> 0:44:06.680 Football Weekly, beginning with three tough questions. You'll want to 0:44:06.680 --> 0:44:08.279 play along see if you can go three and zero, 0:44:08.320 --> 0:44:11.359 and we'll also break down a bunch of games the 0:44:11.400 --> 0:44:14.239 rest of the slate, including Detroit taking on Chicago. 0:44:15.040 --> 0:44:16.160 You're gonna start a lot of. 0:44:16.160 --> 0:44:19.800 Bears against this reeling, injury ravage Lions defense. 0:44:20.120 --> 0:44:21.640 That may very well be the case. 0:44:21.880 --> 0:44:25.520 Also, playoff Guillotine League's coming your way in a couple 0:44:25.560 --> 0:44:27.160 of weeks. We'll talk more about that when we come 0:44:27.200 --> 0:44:45.200 back for our number two of Fantasy Football. It's our 0:44:45.280 --> 0:44:47.680 number two a Fantasy Football Weekly. Thanks for joining us. 0:44:47.719 --> 0:44:50.160 Paul charging, Scott Fish, and Thorn and Einstrom with you. 0:44:50.680 --> 0:44:51.839 Follow us on X. 0:44:52.520 --> 0:44:57.400 Scott is at Scott Fish twenty four is at thor 0:44:57.600 --> 0:45:00.720 k U Rock and I am Paul Charchi. 0:45:00.800 --> 0:45:03.520 In This is a Game, we call three tough questions. 0:45:03.640 --> 0:45:05.440 Question number one. 0:45:05.200 --> 0:45:10.600 For the Atlanta receivers, does Michael Pennix help hurt or neither? 0:45:11.080 --> 0:45:12.799 We begin with Scott Fish. Yeah. 0:45:12.840 --> 0:45:15.040 I talked about him a little and I'm just going 0:45:15.120 --> 0:45:17.440 to reiterate that I think it helps. I think partly 0:45:17.480 --> 0:45:20.120 because Mooney had dovetailed a bit lately. The four the 0:45:20.160 --> 0:45:22.280 last five games have not been very good for Mooney. 0:45:22.760 --> 0:45:25.120 He'd really taken a backseat to London. The yards have 0:45:25.160 --> 0:45:28.040 still been there, but the scores were going away with Cousins. 0:45:28.280 --> 0:45:30.600 The thing is Penix has a much bigger arm, and 0:45:30.760 --> 0:45:33.799 Kirk had completely lost that zip. And that bigger arm 0:45:34.040 --> 0:45:35.319 is really good for Moonie's game. 0:45:35.480 --> 0:45:37.839 All right, Thorpe, this is right in your wheelhouse. Does 0:45:37.840 --> 0:45:40.920 Michael Pennix help hurt or neither? For the Atlanta receivers? 0:45:41.160 --> 0:45:44.640 It will help because it can't help, but help based 0:45:44.640 --> 0:45:48.359 on the Cousins is playing cousins among qualifying quarterbacks number 0:45:48.440 --> 0:45:51.040 thirty three and big time throw rate, and he was 0:45:51.160 --> 0:45:54.759 tied for number three with the aforementioned Anthony Richardson in 0:45:54.840 --> 0:45:56.160 turnover worthy play rate. 0:45:57.719 --> 0:45:58.120 Not good. 0:45:58.160 --> 0:46:02.440 Bob Pennix has a much bigger arm than Cousins last season. 0:46:02.480 --> 0:46:04.919 In fact, he led college football in deep throw rate. 0:46:05.200 --> 0:46:07.680 You are going to see more aggression going forward from 0:46:07.680 --> 0:46:10.200 the Falcons air game. I love what fished out about Mooney. 0:46:10.360 --> 0:46:13.560 I totally agree with that. Penix loves to hit those 0:46:13.560 --> 0:46:16.080 shots down the field. He loves those hole shots against 0:46:16.080 --> 0:46:19.080 against Cover two. He loves to push the field, and 0:46:19.400 --> 0:46:21.560 the Falcons receivers will be beneficiaries of that. 0:46:21.719 --> 0:46:24.000 You guys took all my talking points only at this 0:46:24.480 --> 0:46:27.399 the Falcons are clinging to playoff hope, in large part 0:46:27.440 --> 0:46:28.840 because they've beaten Tampa twice. 0:46:28.880 --> 0:46:30.000 They've got the tiebreaker. 0:46:30.719 --> 0:46:34.360 I'd like to think that Atlanta's offensive coordinator Zach Robinson. 0:46:34.560 --> 0:46:37.319 Let her rip down field. Baby, this is what your 0:46:37.360 --> 0:46:41.400 quarterback does. You need you need to find some magic, Falcons. 0:46:42.000 --> 0:46:45.920 Go see if Penis can just wing his way to 0:46:46.040 --> 0:46:48.480 some victories for your team. I'd like to think they're 0:46:48.520 --> 0:46:51.480 gonna do that. I think Penix is gonna help agreed. 0:46:51.520 --> 0:46:53.000 I tipped my hand earlier in the show, and I 0:46:53.000 --> 0:46:56.080 said I moved up on the rankings Drake, London and 0:46:57.120 --> 0:47:00.360 and Mooney when we got the news. Rest of season, 0:47:00.360 --> 0:47:02.400 which granted there's not a lot of two games and 0:47:02.520 --> 0:47:05.120 left next two games. Rest of season is Tampa Bay 0:47:05.120 --> 0:47:08.440 wide receiver Jalen McMillan a wide receiver, one wide. 0:47:08.160 --> 0:47:12.520 Receiver, two flex or batch we begin with thor I'm 0:47:12.560 --> 0:47:13.440 gonna say flex. 0:47:13.800 --> 0:47:15.839 Nine catches for one hundred and thirty four yards and 0:47:15.880 --> 0:47:18.800 three touchdowns in the last two games. And for anyone 0:47:18.800 --> 0:47:21.920 that listened to charging I his offseason episodes, you heard 0:47:22.000 --> 0:47:24.879 me bloviate about Jalen McMillan and I gave I gave 0:47:24.920 --> 0:47:27.880 a stat there where I swore to you guys that 0:47:28.000 --> 0:47:30.319 he was a better player than a guy who was 0:47:30.360 --> 0:47:32.359 taken right at the top of the second round, who 0:47:32.400 --> 0:47:35.359 was his collegiate teammate, Jalen Pulk. Yeah, when both those 0:47:35.360 --> 0:47:39.040 guys were healthy in college. In full games, McMillan had 0:47:39.080 --> 0:47:40.960 one hundred and twenty four catches for six hundred and 0:47:40.960 --> 0:47:43.800 fifty seven yards fourteen touchdowns. Polk in those games sixty 0:47:43.840 --> 0:47:47.279 eight catches twelve hundred, ten years nine touchdowns. McMillan was 0:47:47.320 --> 0:47:49.799 a better prospect than he was given credit for coming out. 0:47:50.280 --> 0:47:52.480 It was a circumstantial thing. You had the three NFL 0:47:52.520 --> 0:47:55.560 receivers on Washington, But I'm gonna go flex just the 0:47:55.600 --> 0:47:56.799 rest of this season. 0:47:56.680 --> 0:47:59.839 All right, Yeah we were yeah, go ahead, No, that's right. 0:48:00.120 --> 0:48:03.200 Jalen McMillan, wide receiver one, wide receiver two flex or bench. 0:48:03.440 --> 0:48:06.040 Yeah, we were way on Jalen McMillan. At the State 0:48:06.080 --> 0:48:08.800 Fair show, I also mentioned take Jalen mcbown with the 0:48:08.840 --> 0:48:11.760 last pick of your draft. Our show had this one called. 0:48:12.520 --> 0:48:16.320 So this weekend he gets a really really favorable matchup 0:48:16.320 --> 0:48:20.160 against the Cowboys. The following weekend, he gets a match 0:48:20.280 --> 0:48:23.239 up with the Carolina Panthers, who have been rocked the 0:48:23.280 --> 0:48:27.080 last three or four weeks by wide receivers. And I 0:48:27.120 --> 0:48:29.440 do think he's just become a good end zone target 0:48:29.480 --> 0:48:32.080 for Baker. So I'm gonna go with wide receiver two. 0:48:32.960 --> 0:48:36.280 The correct answer is wide receiver two. This week, Cowboys 0:48:36.360 --> 0:48:39.359 yielding the second most Fantasy points to wide receivers this year. 0:48:39.400 --> 0:48:43.239 They just got lit up by Jalen Cocher. And I've 0:48:43.280 --> 0:48:46.040 got for this week, I've got Jalen McMillan higher than 0:48:46.040 --> 0:48:49.440 my peers at Fantasy Life Wide Receiver twenty nine this 0:48:49.520 --> 0:48:52.080 week next week, as you mentioned Carolina, and for the 0:48:52.120 --> 0:48:53.839 leagues that are doing it wrong and playing in Week 0:48:53.920 --> 0:48:56.640 eighteen Saints. And by the way, if you're one of 0:48:56.680 --> 0:48:59.360 those leagues that does the week seventeen and Week eighteen 0:48:59.480 --> 0:49:03.520 combo where they they run those weeks together, it's better, 0:49:03.719 --> 0:49:08.920 but it's still wrong because there's a scenario somebody mentioned this. 0:49:09.440 --> 0:49:14.280 There's a scenario where every AFC playoff team is known 0:49:14.800 --> 0:49:17.799 by the end of this weekend, and so this thing 0:49:17.800 --> 0:49:20.359 could play out very, very bad. Already Houston has very 0:49:20.400 --> 0:49:22.680 little to play for already. 0:49:22.320 --> 0:49:24.279 So that has nothing to do with tanking. On the 0:49:24.320 --> 0:49:27.880 other end, by absolutely nothing. It doesn't happen in the NFL. 0:49:27.960 --> 0:49:31.120 No tough question number three, What. 0:49:31.239 --> 0:49:34.480 Player who is not broken out yet is prime to 0:49:34.520 --> 0:49:36.719 break out next year? This is a dynasty question. And 0:49:36.760 --> 0:49:38.480 by the way, as a side note, I took Kamani 0:49:38.560 --> 0:49:41.280 Videll off the board because we talk about him incessantly. 0:49:41.800 --> 0:49:43.880 Was that was triggering to me? I bet that was 0:49:44.320 --> 0:49:45.080 a shoddy Yeah. 0:49:45.080 --> 0:49:47.680 I already started writing my Commani Vidal response and then 0:49:47.719 --> 0:49:50.120 I saw that, Yeah, so again with Scott Fish. 0:49:50.160 --> 0:49:52.719 So I do have the correct answer here. Uh what 0:49:52.840 --> 0:49:57.560 do Diami Brown, kJ Osburn, Jamison Crowder, Lamine zakiyas Au 0:49:57.719 --> 0:49:58.120 in common? 0:49:58.200 --> 0:49:59.400 Well, they play for the Commanders. 0:49:59.480 --> 0:50:01.719 They play for the Commanders, and all of their contracts 0:50:01.760 --> 0:50:03.759 are up at the end of the season, leaving Terry 0:50:03.840 --> 0:50:08.640 McLaurin and Luke McCaffrey as the only two wide receivers 0:50:08.760 --> 0:50:09.799 under contract. 0:50:11.000 --> 0:50:15.840 Thor just soiled himself. I did because I got McCaffrey. 0:50:15.840 --> 0:50:18.640 Well, have to be different, even if they added T 0:50:18.840 --> 0:50:22.960 Higgins type guy Luke McCaffrey's slot. That's fine whatever. I 0:50:23.040 --> 0:50:25.799 love pairing a young wide receiver like that with an 0:50:25.880 --> 0:50:30.320 up and ascending quarterback. Luke McCaffrey is the correct answer. 0:50:31.920 --> 0:50:35.280 Luke McCaffrey is the correct answer. That is correct. 0:50:35.320 --> 0:50:38.400 I can't believe we picked the same graffy that A 0:50:38.440 --> 0:50:41.480 couple other things that all add So McCaffrey came into college. 0:50:41.480 --> 0:50:43.520 He was a four star dual threat quarterback, and he 0:50:43.560 --> 0:50:45.600 never found his way at quarterback. He bounced between a 0:50:45.600 --> 0:50:46.480 couple of different scoals. 0:50:46.520 --> 0:50:47.200 He gets the rice. 0:50:47.239 --> 0:50:49.080 Two years ago, they switched him to wide receiver and 0:50:49.120 --> 0:50:51.560 he was immediately an assassin. They played him out of 0:50:51.600 --> 0:50:53.680 the slot, But keep in mind, this guy has only 0:50:53.680 --> 0:50:55.719 played wide receiver for two years. This is only his 0:50:55.800 --> 0:50:58.919 third season playing wide receiver. Is it a surprise that 0:50:58.920 --> 0:51:00.879 that maybe he started a little bit slower. He's behind 0:51:00.880 --> 0:51:03.520 a couple of these other guys, maybe not necessarily because 0:51:03.520 --> 0:51:06.400 of that. He is the big slot And very importantly 0:51:06.440 --> 0:51:09.319 to the point about Jayden Daniels, what is Luke McCaffrey's 0:51:09.360 --> 0:51:13.520 best thing. It's getting downtown and making contested catches. Jaden 0:51:13.600 --> 0:51:16.000 Daniels loves to throw deep. We haven't seen it quite 0:51:16.000 --> 0:51:18.600 as much this year. I think they're trying to inoculate him. 0:51:18.640 --> 0:51:21.640 He's young, but at LSU he threw deep about as 0:51:21.680 --> 0:51:24.040 much as you ever see a collegiate quarterback throw deep. 0:51:24.160 --> 0:51:26.600 Luke McCaffrey's going to be catching those deep balls next year. 0:51:26.960 --> 0:51:30.240 I have a very small sample size because it's rice football. 0:51:30.280 --> 0:51:32.360 I didn't watch any during the during the college football 0:51:32.360 --> 0:51:33.919 season last year, and then when I was just trying 0:51:33.960 --> 0:51:36.200 to do some homework on Luke McCaffrey in the offseason 0:51:36.200 --> 0:51:38.560 to prep for our show's thor YEP, I watched one 0:51:38.680 --> 0:51:41.680 rice game and Luke McCaffrey just looked like a guy. 0:51:41.760 --> 0:51:43.960 To me, I just didn't see anything, any special traits, 0:51:43.960 --> 0:51:46.319 So I remain a little skeptical. But you're you know, 0:51:46.400 --> 0:51:47.800 a million times more about this thannight. 0:51:47.880 --> 0:51:49.799 You got to watch his contestant catches at Rice. 0:51:50.000 --> 0:51:52.319 Here's the player I think that is not broken out 0:51:52.400 --> 0:51:55.400 yet but could break out next year. For you Dynasty leaguers, 0:51:55.760 --> 0:51:57.719 how about this one thor what do you think of 0:51:57.800 --> 0:51:58.719 Ben Sennett? 0:51:58.800 --> 0:52:03.120 Oh yeah, right, stay in Washington, Yeah yeah, I love this. 0:52:03.520 --> 0:52:04.680 Zach Ertz on a one year deal. 0:52:05.160 --> 0:52:07.480 He's got a concussion right now, may not play this week, 0:52:07.560 --> 0:52:10.000 and so they may we may finally get more Ben Sentate, 0:52:10.000 --> 0:52:12.000 who's barely even been on the field this year, but 0:52:12.200 --> 0:52:16.120 athletically I'm really interested, tremendous. Yes, give me, just give 0:52:16.120 --> 0:52:17.520 me twenty seconds on Ben Senate. 0:52:17.600 --> 0:52:20.000 He went to Kansas State as one hundred and ninety 0:52:20.000 --> 0:52:22.759 pound walk on fullback, and four years later he found 0:52:22.840 --> 0:52:25.160 himself as a two hundred and forty five and fifty 0:52:25.200 --> 0:52:27.320 pound one of the best tight ends in the country. 0:52:27.360 --> 0:52:29.880 And his game will evoke for you a bit of 0:52:29.920 --> 0:52:32.759 Sam Laporta and a bit of Tucker Craft. Staying in 0:52:33.080 --> 0:52:36.399 the NFC there in that he catches the ball intermediate, 0:52:36.480 --> 0:52:38.440 He's very good with the route running, and then he 0:52:38.520 --> 0:52:41.719 goes berserker breaking tackles. So Jade Daniels is going to 0:52:41.800 --> 0:52:43.640 love working with him. And one thing that we had 0:52:43.760 --> 0:52:46.040 questions about with Jayden Daniels coming out of LSU it 0:52:46.160 --> 0:52:48.759 was throwing over the intermediate range. Senate was one of 0:52:48.800 --> 0:52:51.160 the better intermediate pass catchers that we had in the 0:52:51.280 --> 0:52:53.240 entire class, regardless of tight ender wide receiver. 0:52:53.440 --> 0:52:53.680 Yeah. 0:52:53.719 --> 0:52:56.400 So Senate is a guy that's probably available in like 0:52:56.560 --> 0:52:59.319 virtually every league, even dynasty leagues, and you can go 0:52:59.360 --> 0:53:01.320 get him now and sit on him. See what happens. 0:53:01.320 --> 0:53:04.400 Maybe Zachartz doesn't come back. Let's go back to our matchups. 0:53:04.520 --> 0:53:10.160 New England takes on Buffalo Thor Drake was Drake mayor 0:53:10.200 --> 0:53:11.240 take a chance on the quarterback. 0:53:11.239 --> 0:53:12.239 I believe he was. He was. 0:53:12.320 --> 0:53:14.120 Yeah, so he already covered Drake made. Do you like 0:53:14.200 --> 0:53:15.880 you don't like any of his receivers? 0:53:16.120 --> 0:53:18.920 I flied, I sure don't. 0:53:20.000 --> 0:53:24.399 I did get Pop Douglas to seek. Since week nine, 0:53:24.440 --> 0:53:28.600 he only has one top thirty six finish Fantasy zero 0:53:28.600 --> 0:53:31.920 inside the top thirty. But I do think he is 0:53:31.960 --> 0:53:33.920 a flex option if you were in need this week. 0:53:34.200 --> 0:53:36.640 Since week ten, Buffalo has allowed the eighth most PPR 0:53:36.719 --> 0:53:40.080 points per target to slot wide receivers. I like Drake 0:53:40.120 --> 0:53:41.840 May in the matchup this week, so that's why I 0:53:41.840 --> 0:53:44.600 settled on see for pop Hunter Henry, I gave him 0:53:44.600 --> 0:53:47.200 a bee. Since week nine, Henry has been the tight 0:53:47.280 --> 0:53:49.680 end fifteen and fantasy points per game. He has three 0:53:49.719 --> 0:53:53.560 tight end one finishes during that time. In Fantasy, Henry's 0:53:53.600 --> 0:53:56.560 route share did dip to six a bit over sixty 0:53:56.560 --> 0:54:00.359 percent last week, as Austin Hoopers rose to fifty seven 0:54:00.400 --> 0:54:03.400 point one percent routes. Here, the Bills are also solid 0:54:03.440 --> 0:54:06.240 against tight ends. Buffalo has allowed the ninth fewest receiving 0:54:06.280 --> 0:54:08.480 yards per game and six fewest fantasy points per game 0:54:08.520 --> 0:54:11.839 to tight ends. But I did settle on I'm gonna 0:54:11.840 --> 0:54:13.840 I'm gonna toggle it to a sea on Hunter Henry. 0:54:14.680 --> 0:54:17.200 Ramandre Stevenson also gets a see and this is like 0:54:17.280 --> 0:54:22.239 my collegiate transcript here. Stevenson has averaged sixteen point eight 0:54:22.239 --> 0:54:26.080 Fantasy points and would be RB five this season in 0:54:26.480 --> 0:54:30.319 New England wins. When New England loses nine point nine 0:54:30.360 --> 0:54:33.839 fantasy points per game, he's RB thirty one in those circumstances. 0:54:33.840 --> 0:54:36.120 I bring this up because the Patriots are fourteen point 0:54:36.200 --> 0:54:39.759 underdogs this week. The Bills run defense has been struggling, 0:54:40.080 --> 0:54:42.680 but will Stevenson get the volume to exploit that. The 0:54:42.680 --> 0:54:45.280 Bills since week ten this they have allowed the second 0:54:45.400 --> 0:54:48.400 highest or they have the second highest misstackle rate and 0:54:48.520 --> 0:54:52.040 sixth highest yards after contact per attempt. And then as 0:54:52.080 --> 0:54:55.040 far as the Bills go, Josh Allen clear mustard fifty 0:54:55.080 --> 0:54:58.880 one point eight obvious point Yeah this, yeah, and you 0:54:58.960 --> 0:55:01.960 add the wonder last week. James Cook is also a 0:55:02.040 --> 0:55:04.680 must start a at least in this matchup. Khalil Shakira 0:55:04.760 --> 0:55:07.000 gave him a bee. Since week seven, Shakira has been 0:55:07.000 --> 0:55:09.120 the wide receiver twenty five and fantasy points per game, 0:55:09.280 --> 0:55:11.680 seven or more targets in eight games and two with 0:55:11.800 --> 0:55:14.399 ten or more. Since week nine, New England has run 0:55:14.440 --> 0:55:17.640 the fifth highest single rate single high coverage rate in 0:55:17.680 --> 0:55:21.160 the NFL, and since Week seven against single high Shakira 0:55:21.200 --> 0:55:23.560 is at a twenty eight percent first read share. So 0:55:23.640 --> 0:55:25.640 this is a matchup The lines up very well for him. 0:55:26.000 --> 0:55:27.879 I also think it does for key On Coleman, which 0:55:27.920 --> 0:55:29.520 is why he was to take a chance on you guy, 0:55:29.800 --> 0:55:32.200 the dude on fading There is Amari Cooper. 0:55:31.960 --> 0:55:33.400 So much, I'm going to tell you to put him 0:55:33.440 --> 0:55:34.000 on your bench. 0:55:34.200 --> 0:55:36.799 He was shut out last week despite forty eight points 0:55:36.760 --> 0:55:39.319 scored against the Lions, played only forty six percent of 0:55:39.320 --> 0:55:41.839 the snaps in that game, zero targets, and I want 0:55:41.880 --> 0:55:44.920 no part of him against Christian Gonzales here last week, Gonzo, 0:55:45.040 --> 0:55:47.400 he held Marvin Harrison Junior to one catch for twenty 0:55:47.440 --> 0:55:50.919 three yards in primary coverage. Keep Omari Cooper on the bench. 0:55:50.960 --> 0:55:53.319 And then the last one, Dalton kin Kate gave him 0:55:53.320 --> 0:55:55.359 a bee. He has not finished as a tight end 0:55:55.360 --> 0:55:58.520 one since Week six. That's kind of crazy. Five red 0:55:58.600 --> 0:56:01.440 zone targets across the last five games played. Though we're 0:56:01.440 --> 0:56:03.880 getting closer. We're getting closer. Dalton put that one in 0:56:03.920 --> 0:56:05.879 the end zone. Patriots are middle of the road against 0:56:05.920 --> 0:56:08.160 tight ends. They have allowed the fourteenth most receiving yards 0:56:08.160 --> 0:56:10.920 per game and fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. 0:56:11.160 --> 0:56:14.040 Detroit played Chicago and Thanksgiving, and that was that game 0:56:14.080 --> 0:56:17.319 that ended Matt Eberflu's career in Chicago. It was a 0:56:17.360 --> 0:56:22.000 close game in which the Bears played well. For Detroit obviously, 0:56:22.080 --> 0:56:24.839 Jamior Gibbson Nomen Rossie Browner obvious as and Jamior Gibbs 0:56:24.880 --> 0:56:27.520 in fact, is my favorite overall player for the entire week. 0:56:28.040 --> 0:56:30.760 This is a much easier to run upon Bears defense 0:56:30.800 --> 0:56:33.319 than pass upon. Let's go to some of the rest 0:56:33.320 --> 0:56:34.360 of the Lions. 0:56:33.960 --> 0:56:36.319 Gibbs his gay explode for the last two weeks. 0:56:36.360 --> 0:56:38.759 This absolutely is He's going to be a league winner. Yeah, 0:56:38.800 --> 0:56:41.200 playing against Gibbs, you are facing an uphill battle. 0:56:41.280 --> 0:56:43.600 Part of it is not having knuckles. But his nickname 0:56:43.640 --> 0:56:46.680 is Sonic, and Sonic loves Christmas, especially the fifth Day. 0:56:47.360 --> 0:56:48.920 Why does Sonic love Christmas? 0:56:49.239 --> 0:56:56.440 Five golden rings, five golden rank, five golden rings. Jamison 0:56:56.480 --> 0:57:00.000 Winston william excuse me. Over the past month, something very 0:57:00.000 --> 0:57:03.680 how important has changed for Jamison Williams. Offensive coordinator Ben 0:57:03.760 --> 0:57:06.640 Johnson has reeled in his route tree, giving him far 0:57:06.680 --> 0:57:10.560 more intermediate routes and a lot fewer of those low 0:57:10.640 --> 0:57:15.080 percentage bomb of bombs away routes that had defined Jamison 0:57:15.080 --> 0:57:19.280 Williams's career until recently. His adopt has dropped from fourteen 0:57:19.360 --> 0:57:21.840 yards to ten yards, and because that, he's been way 0:57:21.920 --> 0:57:27.240 more productive. He's doubling his receptions from three receptions per 0:57:27.280 --> 0:57:30.160 game to five receptions per game, and that has ultimately 0:57:30.200 --> 0:57:32.320 helped Jamison Williams a lot, and he comes in with 0:57:32.360 --> 0:57:35.720 a B grade in this game. Tim Patrick C grade. 0:57:35.760 --> 0:57:39.040 His roles exploded with Kerlief Raymond out over the past 0:57:39.080 --> 0:57:42.000 three weeks. The big body Patrick has more end zone 0:57:42.040 --> 0:57:45.200 targets than all the other receivers combined. 0:57:45.360 --> 0:57:45.800 Geez. 0:57:46.040 --> 0:57:48.680 The Bears corners aren't small, but Patrick has four inches 0:57:48.720 --> 0:57:51.680 and twenty pounds on all of them. His route participation 0:57:51.800 --> 0:57:54.960 is almost on par with Sun God and Jamison Williams. 0:57:54.960 --> 0:57:58.440 Tim Patrick absolutely startable in this matchup and staying with 0:57:58.480 --> 0:58:01.080 the passing game, Sam Laporta comes in with a B grade. 0:58:01.640 --> 0:58:05.600 Three straight Fantasy relevant games for Sam Laporta after two 0:58:05.640 --> 0:58:08.480 and a half months of doing nothing, including his two 0:58:08.520 --> 0:58:11.920 touchdown game against the Bears on Thanksgiving. Chicago has been 0:58:12.240 --> 0:58:15.240 a yielding defense to tight ends over the past four games, 0:58:15.280 --> 0:58:18.840 allowing the most PPR points to tight ends. So I 0:58:18.960 --> 0:58:21.320 like Laporta here quite a bit. We'll give him a 0:58:21.360 --> 0:58:25.480 B grade and then Jared goff a grade. With all 0:58:25.560 --> 0:58:28.400 these I got A's, I got BB and C grades 0:58:28.440 --> 0:58:31.080 on his receivers, I gotta like him here. His battered 0:58:31.160 --> 0:58:34.760 defense means that he's passing way more often the past 0:58:34.840 --> 0:58:39.320 two weeks, Jared Goff has thrown forty one and fifty 0:58:39.440 --> 0:58:43.000 nine passes. That kind of volume has led to gigantic 0:58:43.080 --> 0:58:46.440 games for him. He's thrown multiple touchdowns in five of 0:58:46.480 --> 0:58:50.280 the past six and over those six games, he's averaging 0:58:50.440 --> 0:58:54.200 three hundred and twenty yards. The Bears have a good 0:58:54.200 --> 0:58:56.920 pass defense, but everything in Chicago's kind of broken right now, 0:58:56.920 --> 0:58:58.760 and I like golf in this one. All right, let's 0:58:58.760 --> 0:59:00.920 go over to the Chicago side. Already gave you two 0:59:00.960 --> 0:59:03.920 take a chance on me players Caleb Williams and Roma Doonza, 0:59:04.200 --> 0:59:06.919 but they're not the only Bears. I like DJ Moore 0:59:07.040 --> 0:59:09.960 and Keenan Allen come in with b grades. Moore is 0:59:10.000 --> 0:59:12.240 the most reliable of the Bears receivers, and he's chipping 0:59:12.240 --> 0:59:15.480 in some rushing production. He'll most often draw rookie Terry 0:59:15.520 --> 0:59:19.280 and Arnold, whose pro football focuses cornerback one hundred and 0:59:19.360 --> 0:59:22.640 fourteen and running from the slot. Keenan Allen's going to 0:59:22.760 --> 0:59:26.280 draw Meek Robertson. He's pro football focus is one hundredth 0:59:26.320 --> 0:59:30.720 graded cornerback. Last week's slot receiver Khalil Shaker scored against 0:59:30.720 --> 0:59:33.200 the Lions from the slot in the week thirteen meeting 0:59:33.200 --> 0:59:37.720 between these teams, DJ Moore and Keenan Allen shared twenty 0:59:37.800 --> 0:59:42.600 four targets, thirteen receptions, one hundred seven yards, and three touchdowns. 0:59:42.680 --> 0:59:43.600 That's a lot of numbers. 0:59:43.720 --> 0:59:45.720 That's a lot of numbers, and they're all big numbers. 0:59:46.080 --> 0:59:48.720 DJ Moore and Keenan Allen are B grades in this game. 0:59:49.120 --> 0:59:52.880 DeAndre Swift mostly good news here now. Injuries have taken 0:59:52.920 --> 0:59:55.480 its toll on the Lions run defense, dropping a usually 0:59:55.520 --> 0:59:59.200 stout group town to just being kind of good. Three 0:59:59.240 --> 1:00:02.640 of the five big Iuguest Fantasy point output games to 1:00:02.680 --> 1:00:05.520 opposing runners have happened in the last two weeks against 1:00:05.520 --> 1:00:08.760 the Lions. James Cook and Ty Johnson both went off 1:00:08.840 --> 1:00:12.800 last week. Before that, Josh Jacobs had three touchdowns against 1:00:12.800 --> 1:00:15.680 the Lions. Last week's seventy nine rushing yards was his 1:00:15.840 --> 1:00:19.520 highest total since Week eight for DeAndre Swift, but he 1:00:19.600 --> 1:00:22.840 scored only one time in that time. And Roshawn Johnson 1:00:22.880 --> 1:00:25.760 is back and he will house goal line duties. So 1:00:25.800 --> 1:00:27.480 I can only get you to a C grade on 1:00:27.760 --> 1:00:31.960 DeAndre Swift because Johnson would get goal line carries should 1:00:32.040 --> 1:00:33.560 the opportunity present itself. 1:00:34.120 --> 1:00:34.800 Let's go to our. 1:00:34.720 --> 1:00:38.800 Final matchup of this segment, and that is Jacksonville taking 1:00:38.840 --> 1:00:41.200 on the Las Vegas Raiders. 1:00:41.520 --> 1:00:41.640 Uh. 1:00:41.920 --> 1:00:44.560 Yeah, so I'm gonna leave mac Jones on the bench. 1:00:44.760 --> 1:00:46.320 I know that you really wanted me to get in 1:00:46.360 --> 1:00:49.720 the starting grade. You were asking for it. The Raiders 1:00:49.760 --> 1:00:52.480 have allowed multiple scores in five to last seven games 1:00:52.480 --> 1:00:54.640 to quarterbacks. In six of those top two hundred and 1:00:54.640 --> 1:00:56.800 fifty yards. But mac Jones. Get the statut on mac 1:00:56.840 --> 1:00:59.920 Jones from Demetrius Harvey at be reporter for the Jags. 1:01:00.200 --> 1:01:03.200 Mac Jones is oh for seventeen with five interceptions when 1:01:03.240 --> 1:01:05.080 throwing the ball more than twenty yards downfield. 1:01:05.280 --> 1:01:06.160 Wow, oh for. 1:01:06.200 --> 1:01:11.640 Seventeen with five picks. That's that's not good. Not good, 1:01:11.640 --> 1:01:13.440 as we say, I still have an A grade on 1:01:13.480 --> 1:01:16.320 Brian Thomas Junior, who is unstoppable out there. The Raiders 1:01:16.360 --> 1:01:19.680 allow the seventh most fantasy points to the perimeter. Uh, 1:01:19.760 --> 1:01:22.680 he's had nearly a thirty percent target share with mac 1:01:22.760 --> 1:01:27.240 Jones and he gets that Decameron Richardson matchup. That guy 1:01:27.280 --> 1:01:29.040 a Yet I can never pronounce correctly. 1:01:29.120 --> 1:01:32.080 Who's shot Mississippi State a ton a. 1:01:32.120 --> 1:01:35.800 Ton of yardage every week? Brian Thomas seventy five plus 1:01:35.800 --> 1:01:38.400 and four straight. His targets have gone from seven to 1:01:38.520 --> 1:01:41.320 ten to twelve to fourteen. So I think this is 1:01:41.360 --> 1:01:44.560 about a sixty or seventy target Gabe based on based. 1:01:44.360 --> 1:01:46.120 On mind, assume that that's going to continue. 1:01:46.160 --> 1:01:49.520 Yes, yeah, absolutely. Brenton Strange also getting the A grade. 1:01:49.600 --> 1:01:51.800 He's been limited with his shoulder, but he should be 1:01:51.880 --> 1:01:54.760 good to go. Absolutely broke out last week without Ingram 1:01:55.240 --> 1:01:57.520 had a couple of starter bill weeks earlier this season. 1:01:57.880 --> 1:02:01.080 But the Raiders are absolutely getting porched by tight ends 1:02:01.120 --> 1:02:04.960 not named Kyle Pits. Over the last seven weeks, they 1:02:05.000 --> 1:02:08.040 are fourth worst against the against the position, and in 1:02:08.040 --> 1:02:10.320 the last six weeks before the Pits game, they were 1:02:10.520 --> 1:02:13.520 tight ends were averaging eight for ninety nine and a score, 1:02:14.280 --> 1:02:18.040 allowing the fourth most reception six most scores in the 1:02:18.080 --> 1:02:20.600 running game. Travis Etn is going to get the C grade. 1:02:20.600 --> 1:02:24.080 He outsnapped Tank Bigsby on Sunday sixty or last week 1:02:24.480 --> 1:02:27.600 sixty one to twenty two, ran twenty four more routes. 1:02:27.640 --> 1:02:30.440 I believe that's from JJ zach Reeson. Three to four 1:02:30.480 --> 1:02:33.360 catches in four straight for Etn. Running backs have combined 1:02:33.360 --> 1:02:35.400 for one hundred and fifty plus yards in each of 1:02:35.400 --> 1:02:38.280 the last two weeks against the Raiders, White and Irving 1:02:38.360 --> 1:02:40.360 in one and then Bijon and the other. Those are 1:02:40.520 --> 1:02:43.320 kind of backs on an entirely different level than ETN 1:02:43.360 --> 1:02:46.600 and Tank though, And of course, because I'm giving it 1:02:46.600 --> 1:02:50.000 to ETN, I'm putting Tank on the bench. I think 1:02:50.040 --> 1:02:52.600 it's an ETN game, but watch it'll flip just because 1:02:52.600 --> 1:02:56.600 I said that. Eight O'Connell. I'm giving a C grade too. 1:02:56.880 --> 1:02:58.960 He's at three hundred and forty yards and two scores 1:02:59.000 --> 1:03:01.360 against KC and and then another one hundred plus and 1:03:01.400 --> 1:03:04.880 two scores before leaving in the second half in second Yeah, 1:03:04.960 --> 1:03:06.960 in the second half against Tampa Bay, he was likely 1:03:07.000 --> 1:03:09.760 on pace for another two to three hundred multi score game. 1:03:10.040 --> 1:03:13.600 Jaggs allowing the second most yards and second most yards 1:03:14.200 --> 1:03:17.160 to quarterbacks. Rogers with that can take a chance on 1:03:17.200 --> 1:03:20.000 me in this matchup last week had thirty one Fantasy points. 1:03:20.040 --> 1:03:20.520 Wow. 1:03:21.280 --> 1:03:24.120 Jacoby Myers is getting the A grade. He's had limited practices, 1:03:24.160 --> 1:03:25.960 but he's been doing that for several weeks now. I'm 1:03:25.960 --> 1:03:28.480 playing through it. Jags have allowed by far the most 1:03:28.760 --> 1:03:31.800 twenty plus and forty plus yard plays for fifth worst 1:03:31.840 --> 1:03:34.720 against the slot where Myers lines up forty five percent 1:03:34.760 --> 1:03:37.760 of the time, and he's had double digit Fantasy days 1:03:37.800 --> 1:03:41.640 in all but two games since Adam Adams departed. Over 1:03:41.680 --> 1:03:44.720 the last month, seven for eighty six on eleven targets 1:03:44.760 --> 1:03:48.640 per game is his average. Trey Tucker is a little 1:03:48.640 --> 1:03:50.200 bit of a darth Row here because of all the 1:03:50.200 --> 1:03:53.440 big playwork, and he gets his aid DOT has averaged up. 1:03:53.480 --> 1:03:56.320 The target target is fifteen plus. And I mentioned how 1:03:56.360 --> 1:03:58.720 bad the Jags are giving up giant plays. They give 1:03:58.800 --> 1:04:01.400 up about a little over five per game. So if 1:04:01.440 --> 1:04:03.400 Trey Tucker can get one or two of those interesting 1:04:03.480 --> 1:04:04.080 dart throw. 1:04:04.040 --> 1:04:05.440 You're ever gonna start Trey Tucker. 1:04:05.520 --> 1:04:08.840 This is, yeah, exactly a grade on brock Bauers. I'm 1:04:08.840 --> 1:04:11.600 moving on to the bench grades for both running backs. 1:04:11.600 --> 1:04:15.680 With Sincere McCormick now out, Madison and Abdullah are likely 1:04:15.760 --> 1:04:17.840 to split. If this is one of those games where 1:04:18.080 --> 1:04:20.920 we knew the game script, I could say one or 1:04:20.920 --> 1:04:23.760 the other might be good for that game script, But 1:04:23.880 --> 1:04:26.640 because I don't know that, they're both kind of ineffective. 1:04:27.840 --> 1:04:29.440 The monopolies bench grades. 1:04:29.480 --> 1:04:31.200 Bench grades for the Raiders running backs. 1:04:31.240 --> 1:04:34.640 To the surprise of nobody, San Francisco takes on Miami. 1:04:34.920 --> 1:04:37.800 It's a battered San Francisco offense at the running back position, 1:04:37.840 --> 1:04:41.520 But what do you expect from Rock Purdy and especially 1:04:41.600 --> 1:04:44.520 Juwan Jennings. Can't wait to find out what the Great 1:04:44.320 --> 1:04:47.080 of Thoor is gonna get those players when we come back. 1:04:47.200 --> 1:04:48.280 Fantasy Football Weekly. 1:04:58.840 --> 1:05:03.200 No different playoff Guillotine League formats coming to you in 1:05:03.440 --> 1:05:08.280 the NFL playoffs. You can get registered for them now, 1:05:08.400 --> 1:05:13.240 including the opportunity to play against me in the Chop 1:05:13.720 --> 1:05:19.520 Charge Chompionship Choppionship at Guillotine leagues dot com. It is 1:05:19.560 --> 1:05:22.640 free to play against me tragically, it's free to play. 1:05:23.040 --> 1:05:27.160 It's a five hundred person league. We wanted to put 1:05:27.160 --> 1:05:29.520 prizing in it. We wanted to give you prizing. Some 1:05:29.760 --> 1:05:32.040 states don't let us, and we wanted to be available 1:05:32.080 --> 1:05:34.080 in all fifty states. There are some states that even 1:05:34.120 --> 1:05:36.720 though it's free, they won't let us prize it. 1:05:38.720 --> 1:05:40.600 You'll have the satisfaction going if you beat. 1:05:40.400 --> 1:05:42.960 Me, here you go. If you if you take that 1:05:43.000 --> 1:05:46.479 thing down, I'll get you an SFB fifteen, and maybe 1:05:46.480 --> 1:05:48.920 I'll give away a random signed jersey to someone who plays. 1:05:48.960 --> 1:05:51.480 I love it all right. That's a or binding oral 1:05:51.520 --> 1:05:54.880 contract from Scott Fish. Go to Guillotine leagues dot Com 1:05:54.920 --> 1:05:58.439 in the lobby look for the chop charge contest. Let's 1:05:58.480 --> 1:06:01.320 go back to the matchups, and we moved to thor 1:06:01.440 --> 1:06:04.200 with San Francisco taking on Miami. You talked about is 1:06:04.240 --> 1:06:05.840 he Abona Conda earlier? 1:06:06.600 --> 1:06:09.000 Now you when you're. 1:06:08.840 --> 1:06:11.160 Talking about it, you would acknowledge Patrick Taylor is gonna 1:06:11.200 --> 1:06:12.960 get use here, but you didn't give a letter grade 1:06:12.960 --> 1:06:13.720 on Patrick Taylor. 1:06:13.720 --> 1:06:15.520 Where are we? Where do you stand on Patrick Taylor? 1:06:15.840 --> 1:06:18.760 I'm gonna give him the old speculative ce Okay, I'm 1:06:18.840 --> 1:06:23.240 Patrick Taylor. Obviously Grendo on Ara is now has now 1:06:23.240 --> 1:06:26.160 been ruled out. Taylor only has fourteen carries this season 1:06:26.200 --> 1:06:29.200 seventy nine total in his career. Kip from Memphis. That 1:06:29.320 --> 1:06:31.040 was back in the norvel days before we went to 1:06:31.040 --> 1:06:33.560 Florida State and tanked their program. But anyway, I digress 1:06:34.120 --> 1:06:37.000 Taylor could get fourteen to seventeen touches against the Dolphins 1:06:37.000 --> 1:06:40.120 in this game. I do think isy Abona Conda is 1:06:40.120 --> 1:06:42.000 going to figure in some way in the end of this. 1:06:42.080 --> 1:06:44.320 That's why I had to do the speculative see and 1:06:44.360 --> 1:06:46.800 the Dolphins, to be fair, they are not the easiest 1:06:46.800 --> 1:06:50.160 matchup they have allowed an NFL best eighty three point 1:06:50.240 --> 1:06:52.760 three rushing yards per game since losing to Green Bay. 1:06:52.800 --> 1:06:54.960 So I can't get higher for a sea on because 1:06:54.960 --> 1:06:57.000 of those reasons, brock Perty, I gave him. 1:06:56.880 --> 1:06:59.360 A bea despite his horrible week that he's coming off of. 1:07:00.000 --> 1:07:01.920 We have confirmation that Trent Williams, who has missed the 1:07:01.960 --> 1:07:04.640 last four games, is going almost assuredly will be out 1:07:04.680 --> 1:07:07.480 for the year. So he's not walking through that door. Yeah, 1:07:07.560 --> 1:07:10.240 to help you, but Perty was a QB one in 1:07:10.360 --> 1:07:12.960 five of the seven games before last week, and he 1:07:13.080 --> 1:07:15.880 ranks fifth in yards per attempt since week eight. 1:07:16.240 --> 1:07:17.920 This is an okay matchup for him. 1:07:17.960 --> 1:07:20.440 Since Week ten, the Dolphins have allowed the twelfth most 1:07:21.200 --> 1:07:24.440 yards per game passing and the tenth most passing touchdowns. 1:07:24.920 --> 1:07:28.680 I'm busy about a conocourse and take a chance on me. Deebo, Samuel, 1:07:29.040 --> 1:07:32.760 keep him affixed and nailed to your bench. Since week ten, 1:07:33.080 --> 1:07:35.880 Deebo has not had a double digit Fantasy point game, 1:07:36.280 --> 1:07:38.840 nor has he had more than twenty two receiving yards 1:07:38.880 --> 1:07:40.720 in any individual game. I don't know what's going on, 1:07:40.760 --> 1:07:42.840 but got to keep him out of there. He only 1:07:42.840 --> 1:07:45.600 has one red zone target since week twelve. It's it's 1:07:45.640 --> 1:07:48.320 not a matchup, but Deebo could no longer be trusted. 1:07:48.520 --> 1:07:51.560 Why weren't they running Deebo more here, fifth and sixth 1:07:51.560 --> 1:07:52.280 string running back. 1:07:52.360 --> 1:07:55.800 This is the scenario running deep put him in the backfield. Yes, yeah, 1:07:55.880 --> 1:07:57.560 I don't get it. Plat tune him with my boy? 1:07:57.600 --> 1:07:59.400 Is he but instead he's on lots of kickoff in 1:07:59.440 --> 1:07:59.919 put return. 1:08:00.760 --> 1:08:02.080 I'm baffled at the user. 1:08:02.160 --> 1:08:04.520 It feels like a season long punishment. You know in college, 1:08:04.600 --> 1:08:07.320 they won't announce the punishments. They'll make your run stairs. 1:08:07.360 --> 1:08:10.200 It feels like that's what Debo's getting. Juwan Jennings, however, 1:08:10.240 --> 1:08:12.800 I gave him a B. Since Week ten, Juwan has 1:08:12.840 --> 1:08:15.439 been wide receiver twenty three and fantasy points per game, 1:08:15.680 --> 1:08:18.160 and he has seen seven red zone targets over that time. 1:08:18.520 --> 1:08:21.200 He also owns a thirty five point five percent first 1:08:21.240 --> 1:08:24.439 read share target since Brandon Aiyuk went down in Week seven. 1:08:24.920 --> 1:08:28.160 Pretty crazy. Jennings rings fifth in yards per route run 1:08:28.479 --> 1:08:31.720 this season over the entire NFL, and as far as 1:08:31.720 --> 1:08:34.160 this matchup goes, since Week ten, Miami has allowed the 1:08:34.160 --> 1:08:37.160 eleventh most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receiver, 1:08:37.200 --> 1:08:38.760 so a decent one so I gave him a B. 1:08:39.160 --> 1:08:41.080 George Kittle is a must start A and this is 1:08:41.120 --> 1:08:43.200 an awesome matchup for him. No team gives up a 1:08:43.280 --> 1:08:46.280 higher percentage of opponent targets to tight ends than the 1:08:46.320 --> 1:08:49.360 Miami Dolphins, and moving over to those Miami Dolphins too, 1:08:49.720 --> 1:08:51.880 I gave him a C. He had the road dud 1:08:51.960 --> 1:08:55.000 last week against the Texans, only four point nine yards 1:08:55.000 --> 1:08:58.240 per attempt while struggling with three interceptions. He only had 1:08:58.560 --> 1:09:00.880 six point eight fantasy points in the game, but he 1:09:00.920 --> 1:09:03.880 had scored twenty three plus fantasy points in each of 1:09:03.920 --> 1:09:06.519 the four games prior to that. This is a tough 1:09:06.520 --> 1:09:09.160 matchup against a good forty nine Ers pass defense. Since 1:09:09.200 --> 1:09:10.880 Week ten, the forty nine Ers have not allowed a 1:09:10.920 --> 1:09:15.040 quarterback to exceed two hunderd twenty five passing yards. Devna 1:09:15.200 --> 1:09:18.080 Chain is an A and a must start Tyreek Hill. 1:09:18.160 --> 1:09:20.120 I toggled him down to a B in this one. 1:09:20.240 --> 1:09:22.439 I do more targets are going to come because Jalen 1:09:22.479 --> 1:09:25.280 Waddle is almost assuredly out because they listened as doubtful 1:09:25.280 --> 1:09:26.080 and doubtful. 1:09:25.720 --> 1:09:27.160 People never play. They never played. 1:09:27.200 --> 1:09:29.200 But this is not a great matchup for Tyreek Hill. 1:09:29.479 --> 1:09:32.880 He is averaging twelve yards per reception this year, which 1:09:32.920 --> 1:09:35.559 is on pace for the third lowest total of his career, 1:09:35.880 --> 1:09:38.800 and since eight, the forty nine ers have allowed only 1:09:38.840 --> 1:09:41.280 ten twenty plus yard passes, which is number one in 1:09:41.320 --> 1:09:44.519 the NFL. The deep, the explosive plays will not be 1:09:44.560 --> 1:09:46.720 there for Tyreek Hill, even more so than the rest 1:09:46.720 --> 1:09:49.559 of the season mentioned Jalen Waddle is almost assuredly going 1:09:49.560 --> 1:09:51.080 to be able to keep him on your bench. John 1:09:51.120 --> 1:09:52.800 new Smith the last one. I gave him a b 1:09:53.680 --> 1:09:56.559 charges boy since Week eight, John, who has been the 1:09:56.680 --> 1:09:58.880 tight end four in fantasy points per game. 1:09:59.040 --> 1:10:00.000 That makes me so happy. 1:10:00.080 --> 1:10:03.439 He has not finished lower than Titan then tight ends 1:10:03.520 --> 1:10:04.800 seven and weekly. 1:10:04.479 --> 1:10:06.519 Scoring for over a month. 1:10:07.000 --> 1:10:10.040 More targets are coming now with Jaylen Waddle out, so 1:10:10.160 --> 1:10:11.280 that's the good news. 1:10:11.479 --> 1:10:12.719 But this is a tough matchup. 1:10:12.840 --> 1:10:15.639 San Francisco has held tight Ends to the fewest receiving 1:10:15.680 --> 1:10:18.120 yards per game in the entire NFL and the second 1:10:18.200 --> 1:10:21.400 fewest fantasy points per game. The only reason I didn't 1:10:21.400 --> 1:10:23.800 give him a name charge, I'm so sorry, Fallid, I 1:10:23.800 --> 1:10:24.599 had to give him a bee. 1:10:24.680 --> 1:10:24.800 Now. 1:10:25.040 --> 1:10:27.080 San Francisco is a great defense. I prly get that. 1:10:27.760 --> 1:10:30.719 Let's go over to Philadelphia taking on Washington, Jalen Hurts, 1:10:30.720 --> 1:10:33.439 Saquon Barkley obvious A grades, and I need to take 1:10:33.479 --> 1:10:36.559 this opportunity to say I was. 1:10:39.400 --> 1:10:40.720 I was not exactly right. 1:10:40.800 --> 1:10:42.760 I've taken this l a couple of times this year. 1:10:42.800 --> 1:10:44.840 I want to do it again on Barkley. All of 1:10:44.880 --> 1:10:47.000 the metrics coming out of the last couple of seasons 1:10:47.040 --> 1:10:49.440 in New York were so bad that in the preseason, 1:10:49.600 --> 1:10:52.200 I'm like, I don't trust Barkley. I think he might 1:10:52.240 --> 1:10:54.120 be cooked. I don't know if he's gonna I don't 1:10:54.120 --> 1:10:55.920 know that he's going to be any good. His quarterback's 1:10:55.920 --> 1:10:58.160 going to eat all of his rushing touchdowns. 1:11:00.200 --> 1:11:04.840 I was so long about say kwon Barkley exact taking 1:11:04.920 --> 1:11:07.599 that L right now. AJ Brown comes into the B grade. 1:11:07.800 --> 1:11:11.240 Squeaky wheel got the grease last week, or as Scott 1:11:11.240 --> 1:11:11.920 Fish likes. 1:11:11.760 --> 1:11:13.599 To say, squeaky mouse got the cheese. 1:11:13.640 --> 1:11:16.719 But remember he was pretty scattershot in the prior two months, 1:11:16.880 --> 1:11:19.880 mostly because Egles just don't run. They've got the league's 1:11:20.040 --> 1:11:23.720 lowest passing play percentage, just forty four percent. And the 1:11:23.760 --> 1:11:26.280 other weird thing about AJ Brown, He's got this huge 1:11:26.320 --> 1:11:28.519 frame and you would think near the stripe. I mean 1:11:28.560 --> 1:11:30.840 Obviously they've got the push push, and that's money. But 1:11:31.080 --> 1:11:33.680 you would think near the stripe, all AJ Brown has 1:11:33.720 --> 1:11:35.880 to do is like take three steps forward, turn around, 1:11:35.880 --> 1:11:38.000 box out a defender and you've got a huge target 1:11:38.080 --> 1:11:42.280 to throw to. They haven't thrown a single pass from 1:11:42.320 --> 1:11:45.760 inside the five to AJ Brown, not once all year. 1:11:45.800 --> 1:11:48.360 Those are easy touchdowns that AJ Brown has not gotten. 1:11:48.720 --> 1:11:51.559 He posted a forgettable five catches for sixty five yards 1:11:51.560 --> 1:11:54.280 in the earlier matchup with Washington. Half of the time 1:11:54.400 --> 1:11:57.080 he runs from Marshawn Latimore's side to the field, and 1:11:57.120 --> 1:11:59.280 that is a great matchup between one of the most 1:11:59.320 --> 1:12:02.639 physical cornerbacks and one of the most physical receivers. Can't 1:12:02.640 --> 1:12:04.600 wait to see how it plays out. B Grade on 1:12:04.680 --> 1:12:08.360 AJ Brown, C Grade and Devanta Smith even more inconsistent 1:12:08.360 --> 1:12:10.760 than AJ Brown for many of the same reasons. He's 1:12:10.800 --> 1:12:16.439 become weirdly touchdown dependent in non scoring games. DeVante Smith 1:12:16.479 --> 1:12:20.320 averaging just four catches for forty yards, and since Week five, 1:12:21.080 --> 1:12:23.479 Washington is allowing just half a touchdown per game to 1:12:23.479 --> 1:12:25.920 wide outs. He's going to see a lot of rookie 1:12:25.920 --> 1:12:29.160 cornerback Mike Sandracil. He's played well, but he has a 1:12:29.200 --> 1:12:31.080 lot of touchdowns in two of the past three games, 1:12:31.160 --> 1:12:33.919 and Smith had just twenty nine yards in the earlier 1:12:33.960 --> 1:12:36.839 matchup with Washington, so he's only got a C grade 1:12:37.600 --> 1:12:38.080 going over to. 1:12:38.080 --> 1:12:38.880 The Washington side. 1:12:39.080 --> 1:12:41.800 Jaden Daniels B grade in this one. In the Week 1:12:41.840 --> 1:12:46.200 eleven matchup, Daniels was completely neutralized via the air and 1:12:46.360 --> 1:12:49.320 ground by the Eagles. He posted just one hundred and 1:12:49.360 --> 1:12:54.040 ninety one passing yards one passing touchdown, and Daniels did 1:12:54.040 --> 1:12:57.000 not help with his legs, just eighteen rushing yards in 1:12:57.040 --> 1:12:59.960 the previous matchup with the Eagles. It was his second 1:13:00.200 --> 1:13:03.120 worst fantasy game of the year. Was that Eagles game. 1:13:03.439 --> 1:13:08.639 The Eagles secondary probably the league's best right now since 1:13:08.720 --> 1:13:12.080 rookie Cooper dejen became the starter in Week six. Philly 1:13:12.160 --> 1:13:15.719 is giving up just one hundred and seventy two passing 1:13:15.800 --> 1:13:19.960 yards and zero point eight passive touchdowns per game. 1:13:20.600 --> 1:13:22.960 Iowa, that's shout out, Iowa, baby. 1:13:23.120 --> 1:13:25.519 That's still better than Anthony Richards in passing time. 1:13:25.680 --> 1:13:28.440 That is true passing averages. 1:13:29.120 --> 1:13:31.479 Only one quarterback has run for more than twenty nine 1:13:31.560 --> 1:13:33.759 yards against Philly. In fact, I'm moving Jade and Daniels 1:13:33.760 --> 1:13:36.840 down to a SEA grade in this brutal matchup because 1:13:37.040 --> 1:13:40.000 the only receiver you care about here is Terry McLaurin. Now, 1:13:40.200 --> 1:13:42.799 Terry McLaurin is and I mentioned this on other shows. 1:13:43.439 --> 1:13:46.000 He's the most lopsided receiver in the league in that 1:13:46.080 --> 1:13:48.519 he runs seventy five percent of his plays from the 1:13:48.640 --> 1:13:52.080 left side of the field, which means we know who's 1:13:52.080 --> 1:13:53.800 going to be matched up against most of the time, 1:13:54.280 --> 1:13:58.800 and it's star rookie Quinyan Mitchell. He's awesome, allowing a 1:13:58.840 --> 1:14:04.680 paltry fifty nine nine percent completion rate and zero touchdowns 1:14:04.720 --> 1:14:08.760 in his coverage. He is a rookie doing this in 1:14:08.840 --> 1:14:11.200 the earlier matchup Terry McLaurin. 1:14:11.200 --> 1:14:12.680 Do you guys remember what Terry McLaurin did in the 1:14:12.720 --> 1:14:15.759 Eagles matchup? One catch, ten yards? 1:14:15.800 --> 1:14:18.160 Oh, he is a C grade this week. And the 1:14:18.240 --> 1:14:21.360 last guy you care about is Brian Robinson. He flopped 1:14:21.400 --> 1:14:24.920 hard in a great on paper matchup last week and 1:14:24.960 --> 1:14:28.400 that bummed me out. This is a brutal matchup. None 1:14:28.439 --> 1:14:31.280 of the Eagles opposing runners have hit one hundred yards 1:14:31.360 --> 1:14:35.000 this year. The Eagles rank number three in Fantasy points 1:14:35.200 --> 1:14:39.360 under average for opposing runners, and since Week six, the 1:14:39.400 --> 1:14:43.400 Eagles top the Eagles rank top five and yards per carry, 1:14:43.720 --> 1:14:48.519 run defense, success rate, yards after contact. Brian Robinson's averaged 1:14:48.600 --> 1:14:50.800 less than three point nine yards per carrying three of 1:14:50.840 --> 1:14:54.280 his past four games, including that Eagles matchup in Week eleven, 1:14:54.320 --> 1:14:56.360 in which he had just sixty five rushing yards, but 1:14:56.400 --> 1:14:58.240 did manage a goal line touchdown. And that's what you 1:14:58.280 --> 1:15:00.840 need from Robinson in this game, is a goal line opportunity. 1:15:01.120 --> 1:15:03.559 Otherwise I don't like it. And he's just a C 1:15:03.920 --> 1:15:07.479 grade in that matchup. All right, Let's go to our 1:15:07.479 --> 1:15:09.679 final matchup of this segment, and that is Tampa Bay 1:15:09.720 --> 1:15:11.040 taking on Dallas. 1:15:11.320 --> 1:15:11.639 Scott. 1:15:11.640 --> 1:15:13.240 You've talked a little bit about the Dallas side of this, 1:15:13.320 --> 1:15:14.920 but let's go over to the Tampa Bay side. 1:15:15.040 --> 1:15:18.320 And Baker Mayfield has been very very. 1:15:18.200 --> 1:15:21.400 Very good, Yeah, very safe, very good. High two hundreds 1:15:21.439 --> 1:15:24.040 in yards basically every game for the last month. Seven 1:15:24.080 --> 1:15:26.880 scores in the last two games. Cowboys are the fourth 1:15:26.920 --> 1:15:29.559 easiest matchup for quarterbacks. It's tenth against the past, but 1:15:29.640 --> 1:15:31.760 one of the worst against the run. Five of the 1:15:31.840 --> 1:15:34.639 last six quarterbacks to face the Cowboys scored on the ground. 1:15:34.800 --> 1:15:38.880 And he's got some wheels. It's not really generally part 1:15:38.920 --> 1:15:40.920 of his game, but he is a mobile quarterback, so 1:15:40.960 --> 1:15:43.040 maybe you get something there. I do have an a 1:15:43.240 --> 1:15:46.080 grade on him, though here it's hard to imagine. He 1:15:46.120 --> 1:15:48.600 doesn't hit his his averages and it is one of 1:15:48.600 --> 1:15:50.240 the highest over unders of the week. It could be 1:15:50.240 --> 1:15:53.599 issued up potentially a grade for Mike Evans averaging over 1:15:53.600 --> 1:15:56.479 one hundred yards per game in the last month since 1:15:56.520 --> 1:15:59.680 returning from that hamstrings, scoring in scoring three times in 1:15:59.720 --> 1:16:00.479 those games. 1:16:00.640 --> 1:16:02.879 They trying to get Mike Evans to the thousand yards. 1:16:03.040 --> 1:16:05.400 Yeah, yeah, there we missed a month. Yeah, he's he's 1:16:05.439 --> 1:16:07.799 got a big, like a three million dollar contract bonus 1:16:07.840 --> 1:16:11.080 if he hits like one thousand yards, ten touchdowns and 1:16:11.200 --> 1:16:13.479 I forget what the catches was, but he can get there. 1:16:13.520 --> 1:16:15.720 He's closing in on it. In fact, the toughest one 1:16:15.760 --> 1:16:18.120 of the of them I remember was the yards. He's 1:16:18.160 --> 1:16:20.120 like one hundred and eighteen away or something something like that. 1:16:20.160 --> 1:16:20.519 I don't know. 1:16:22.600 --> 1:16:26.360 He gets Duran Duran Bland, who picked six quarterbacks five 1:16:26.400 --> 1:16:29.120 times last year, but has played just the last four 1:16:29.160 --> 1:16:31.920 games coming off injury, giving up two scores and a 1:16:31.960 --> 1:16:35.280 one hundred and thirteen rating against in that month of. 1:16:35.320 --> 1:16:37.599 Playsop off and of course Trayvon Diggs. The other outside 1:16:37.640 --> 1:16:38.879 cornerback is out. 1:16:38.720 --> 1:16:41.960 Yep is out. Jaylen McMillan. I had a C grade 1:16:41.960 --> 1:16:44.719 on He's seen his two highest target shares this season 1:16:45.160 --> 1:16:47.479 in the last couple of games. He's getting like twenty 1:16:47.720 --> 1:16:50.519 four percent of the target the last two games four 1:16:50.560 --> 1:16:52.720 for fifty nine and two scores five for seventy five 1:16:52.760 --> 1:16:55.439 in the score second in targets in both those games. 1:16:55.520 --> 1:16:58.639 Dallas allowing the sixth most yards to wide receivers eleventh 1:16:58.720 --> 1:17:01.439 most fantasy points. The second option tends to be in 1:17:01.439 --> 1:17:05.200 that fifty to seventy five range against Dallas. But Kate 1:17:05.320 --> 1:17:06.920 Auden so I had a C grade on him, But 1:17:06.960 --> 1:17:09.040 I'm gonna move it to a bee because Kate Adden 1:17:09.120 --> 1:17:12.720 has been not practicing all week. He's I believe the 1:17:12.840 --> 1:17:16.679 questionable turned to doubtful. Todd Bowles said he's a true 1:17:16.720 --> 1:17:19.679 game time decision or something. It's a Sunday night game, 1:17:19.760 --> 1:17:23.200 so it's not even a good matchup, So starting him 1:17:23.200 --> 1:17:26.320 this week would be a bold. 1:17:26.080 --> 1:17:27.160 Move, bold strategy. 1:17:27.200 --> 1:17:27.479 Catton. 1:17:27.560 --> 1:17:29.040 Let's see if the pays off for him. 1:17:29.200 --> 1:17:32.240 Yeah, yeah, Bucky Irvin, payoff. No, it's not, it's not 1:17:32.280 --> 1:17:34.560 gonna pay off. It's not Bucky Irving. I'm giving the 1:17:34.600 --> 1:17:37.000 B grade to Dallas is allowing twenty six to one 1:17:37.040 --> 1:17:40.480 hundred and thirty four total yards to backs and sixteen 1:17:40.600 --> 1:17:44.519 scores in fourteen games. That's a lot of volume they're 1:17:44.520 --> 1:17:47.080 giving up to backs each week. Backs who really hit 1:17:47.120 --> 1:17:51.040 them were the sixteen plus touch sixteen plus touchbacks. Bucky 1:17:51.280 --> 1:17:53.400 and Rashad White did that last week. 1:17:53.680 --> 1:17:54.160 How about that? 1:17:54.400 --> 1:17:57.960 Yeah, Bucky Irving's so good. He's so good. I wonder 1:17:58.080 --> 1:18:00.439 if another week removed from the injury, he's starts to 1:18:00.479 --> 1:18:03.040 get you know, starts to reclaim that role. So he's 1:18:03.040 --> 1:18:05.280 going to get the B and White is going to 1:18:05.320 --> 1:18:07.559 get the CEE. They both get a decent amount of 1:18:07.560 --> 1:18:09.599 pass game work, so they can get some of that here. 1:18:09.880 --> 1:18:12.559 I think they're both startable in this matchup over on 1:18:12.600 --> 1:18:15.320 the Dallas side. To take a chance on me quarterback 1:18:15.400 --> 1:18:17.200 for myself was Cooper Rush. 1:18:17.400 --> 1:18:18.000 I like it? 1:18:18.120 --> 1:18:20.800 Yeah, I like it. I hope I talked to you 1:18:20.840 --> 1:18:22.479 in to move them, but no I didn't. You said 1:18:22.560 --> 1:18:23.559 you had a really high rank it. 1:18:23.880 --> 1:18:25.840 I'm you know, but I'm taking notes now. I may 1:18:25.880 --> 1:18:26.640 still move him up. 1:18:26.680 --> 1:18:30.760 Yeah, yeah, Rica, Yeah, that defensive backfield just being completely 1:18:30.760 --> 1:18:34.720 decimated is something Ceedee Lamb with that decimated backfield is 1:18:34.760 --> 1:18:35.280 probably an. 1:18:35.160 --> 1:18:36.200 Auto A as well. 1:18:36.240 --> 1:18:38.600 It's a bottom seven passed. You know, I'm gonna move on. 1:18:38.640 --> 1:18:41.920 He's n Jake Ferguson. I'm giving a C grade too. 1:18:42.240 --> 1:18:44.360 He's only top twenty five yards once in the last 1:18:44.400 --> 1:18:46.720 seven games. But I think it's a little bit of 1:18:46.720 --> 1:18:49.400 a the Kyle pitt situation from last week. I know, Pittston, 1:18:49.479 --> 1:18:52.520 I'm a great game, but this is just an incredible 1:18:52.600 --> 1:18:56.400 matchup since week seven. You don't really get worse than 1:18:56.439 --> 1:18:59.160 the Bucks against the tight end. Andrew's at forty one 1:18:59.200 --> 1:19:01.320 and two scores. It's at ninety one and two scores. 1:19:01.400 --> 1:19:04.240 Kelsey and Gray combined for one hundred and a score. 1:19:05.200 --> 1:19:07.479 Kiddle had fifty seven in a score, Tommy Tremble had 1:19:07.520 --> 1:19:10.880 seventy seven yards. Mayor and Bowers absolutely destroyed them and 1:19:10.960 --> 1:19:12.880 might take a chance on me. Player from last week 1:19:12.920 --> 1:19:14.760 Stone Smart went five for fifty on that. 1:19:14.920 --> 1:19:15.879 Oh well done. 1:19:16.000 --> 1:19:19.479 So a C grade for Jake Ferguson and then finally 1:19:19.600 --> 1:19:23.080 a B grade en Rico Dawdle, who's averaging one hundred 1:19:23.120 --> 1:19:26.120 and twenty eight yards and over twenty touches per game. 1:19:26.520 --> 1:19:28.759 Over the last month. Tough not to like the Dowdler 1:19:29.560 --> 1:19:32.719 the Bucks. I don't know if that's Nick David should 1:19:32.720 --> 1:19:35.760 be though, the Dowdler the Bucks allowing. 1:19:35.400 --> 1:19:37.519 This sounds like something you get a channel for doing. 1:19:37.840 --> 1:19:40.760 It might be public, might be I don't know. The 1:19:40.800 --> 1:19:44.479 Bucks allowing the seventh fewest rushing rod yards and fifth 1:19:44.560 --> 1:19:47.320 fewest rushing scores. So that's why I'm bringing it back 1:19:47.400 --> 1:19:49.840 down from an A to a B. But they do 1:19:49.920 --> 1:19:52.880 give up fantasy points to the twenty plus touch volume 1:19:52.920 --> 1:19:56.040 backs and that's that's doubtll so B grade on doubtell. 1:19:56.120 --> 1:20:00.559 It's really too bad that the Dallas Cowboys don't have 1:20:00.600 --> 1:20:02.759 a number two receiver that you could really. 1:20:03.120 --> 1:20:06.200 Receiving, yeah, or receiving back. Donlad has one catching less 1:20:06.200 --> 1:20:06.920 frontle games. 1:20:07.000 --> 1:20:08.599 Did Fish call him the Dowler? 1:20:08.800 --> 1:20:10.360 I did? Wow. I like that. 1:20:13.040 --> 1:20:14.920 You know, there's a little toll Bird, there's a little 1:20:14.920 --> 1:20:17.960 Brandon Cooks mixed in, there's a little Cavante turpin, and 1:20:18.000 --> 1:20:20.439 it just waters out what would have been otherwise what 1:20:20.600 --> 1:20:22.400 you know, that number two receiver would have been a 1:20:22.400 --> 1:20:22.880 great play. 1:20:22.880 --> 1:20:26.280 The turpentine usually does that. Turpentine will water you down. 1:20:26.520 --> 1:20:28.639 There you go when we come back our final set 1:20:28.680 --> 1:20:32.519 of matchups, including Viking Seahawks. What to expect from Kenneth 1:20:32.640 --> 1:20:35.080 Walker in a tricky matchup. 1:20:35.000 --> 1:20:38.080 We'll tell you when we come back to Fantasy Football Weeklyagues. 1:20:47.400 --> 1:20:52.040 Find out segment of Fantasy Football Weekly a reminder playoff 1:20:52.080 --> 1:20:54.639 guillotine Leagues.

So you have to do is not finish 1:21:34.080 --> 1:21:35.120 in the bottom quartile. 1:21:35.280 --> 1:21:36.479 Yes, well takes nice. 1:21:36.680 --> 1:21:38.599 Those are the two games.

Final segment 1:21:52.200 --> 1:21:54.920 or final matchup for you is the Saints taking on 1:21:55.160 --> 1:21:58.599 Green Bay? Is there anybody? Alvin Kamara is out? Spencer 1:21:58.680 --> 1:22:01.240 Ratlers at the helm? Is there any Saint to play here? 1:22:03.960 --> 1:22:06.320 In the semi final? One one I gave? I gave 1:22:06.360 --> 1:22:09.240 one guy a see which is Kendry Miller gave? 1:22:10.080 --> 1:22:13.120 With With Kamara likely being out with the groin, Miller 1:22:13.160 --> 1:22:16.320 should lead New Orleans' backfield again on Monday. But the 1:22:16.320 --> 1:22:19.640 Saints are fourteen that point underdogs and justifiably so. And 1:22:19.720 --> 1:22:21.960 the Packers have not let a running back rush for 1:22:22.000 --> 1:22:24.280 seventy five yards since Week eight. So so even take 1:22:24.320 --> 1:22:26.120 my seat with a with a grain of salt, there 1:22:26.680 --> 1:22:30.040 I will. And then benches, let's let let's just go around. 1:22:30.240 --> 1:22:31.439 I'm gonna be like Oprah right now. 1:22:31.479 --> 1:22:35.439 I've run gets a bench exactly. Rattler gets the bet. 1:22:35.479 --> 1:22:36.320 This is getting ugly. 1:22:36.439 --> 1:22:39.160 The top three wide receivers this game could be Marcus 1:22:39.200 --> 1:22:41.639 Valdis Scantling, Kevin Austin Junior, and Dante Pettison. 1:22:41.640 --> 1:22:42.840 That's only if Marcus. 1:22:42.600 --> 1:22:45.800 Valdus scantling place, which at the present moment that is 1:22:45.800 --> 1:22:47.800 not a shirt. And then of course Kendry Miller is 1:22:47.800 --> 1:22:49.680 you're running back at Taysom Hill is even out and 1:22:49.680 --> 1:22:51.080 blobbady blah bady blah. 1:22:51.120 --> 1:22:54.200 All the Saints wide receivers you keep on the bench mvs. 1:22:54.240 --> 1:22:56.639 Maybe he would have been a desperation if he wasn't hurt, 1:22:56.680 --> 1:23:00.679 but bench Juwan Johnson. I would also say bench for him. 1:23:01.200 --> 1:23:03.640 Last four games, four red zone targets. He did up 1:23:03.640 --> 1:23:07.040 two tight end one performances in that and it actually 1:23:07.080 --> 1:23:08.800 is a decent matchup. Green Bays allowed the seven the 1:23:08.840 --> 1:23:11.400 most receiving yards per game, ten most fantasy points per 1:23:11.400 --> 1:23:13.560 game to tight ends. But with Rattler back there in 1:23:13.600 --> 1:23:16.120 the rest of this rag tag unit, I just had 1:23:16.120 --> 1:23:17.880 to go bench. Moving over to the Packers. 1:23:18.000 --> 1:23:24.400 J Hayn shout out Forreslo State Jordan Love. 1:23:24.439 --> 1:23:26.840 I'm gonna give him a C shadow Utah State. It's 1:23:26.840 --> 1:23:29.280 been six weeks since Jordan Love has reached thirty passing 1:23:29.320 --> 1:23:31.599 at times and that's why, right, he hasn't been bad, 1:23:31.640 --> 1:23:33.880 The volume just hasn't been there. In fact, Jordan Love 1:23:33.920 --> 1:23:37.000 is number one in yards per attempt and passer ratings 1:23:37.000 --> 1:23:38.720 since week eleven. He just doesn't throw much. 1:23:38.720 --> 1:23:40.360 I know that. And there could. 1:23:40.120 --> 1:23:42.360 Be snow on Monday night as well, so you might 1:23:42.400 --> 1:23:45.479 have some inclement conditions there. Josh Jacobs is a must 1:23:45.479 --> 1:23:47.759 start a and then I'm going to do my weekly 1:23:47.840 --> 1:23:50.760 routine with the Packers receivers and cop out and give 1:23:50.800 --> 1:23:54.200 them all seas. Starting with Jayden Reid wide receiver thirty 1:23:54.200 --> 1:23:56.439 four and fantasy points per game. He has been tapering 1:23:56.439 --> 1:23:58.639 off down the stretch. However, he has not had more 1:23:58.680 --> 1:24:01.719 than thirty four receiving yards in any individual game since 1:24:01.800 --> 1:24:02.360 Week nine. 1:24:02.800 --> 1:24:03.120 Problem. 1:24:03.160 --> 1:24:05.880 This is a decent matchup though, if you if you 1:24:05.960 --> 1:24:07.920 got a little gamble in you. Since week ten, the 1:24:07.960 --> 1:24:10.240 Saints have allowed the third most fantasy points per game 1:24:10.479 --> 1:24:14.320 NPPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Romeo Dobs 1:24:14.320 --> 1:24:17.000 he gets to see coming off a two touchdown performance 1:24:17.000 --> 1:24:19.479 against the Seahawks. Dobbs is wide receiver forty four and 1:24:19.560 --> 1:24:22.519 fantasy points per game. Since Week three, New Orleans has 1:24:22.520 --> 1:24:25.080 had the fourth highest two high They've run the fourth 1:24:25.120 --> 1:24:27.160 highest per ponderance of two high coverage rate in the 1:24:27.240 --> 1:24:30.280 NFL fifty five percent since Week seven against two high 1:24:30.439 --> 1:24:32.200 Dobbs is number two on the team with the twenty 1:24:32.240 --> 1:24:35.360 five percent first redshare. We're also giving a seed to 1:24:35.439 --> 1:24:38.920 mister Christian Watson. Watson has three top thirty six wide 1:24:38.960 --> 1:24:42.920 receiver finishes this season. This is a solid matchup for Watson, though, 1:24:43.240 --> 1:24:45.240 maybe to get a fourth because the Saints have been 1:24:45.280 --> 1:24:48.360 struggling against deep passing. Since Week ten, the Saints have 1:24:48.400 --> 1:24:51.719 allowed the seventh most deep passing yards per game. During 1:24:51.720 --> 1:24:54.719 that span, New Orleans has has allowed the third most 1:24:54.760 --> 1:24:58.400 fantasy points per game NPPR points to per target to 1:24:58.439 --> 1:25:01.400 perimeter wide receivers. Maybe and hits a dinger or two here, 1:25:01.760 --> 1:25:04.360 so of course he's getting a sea. And then lastly, 1:25:04.439 --> 1:25:07.200 Tuckerkraft gets a name tight end eleven in fantasy, he 1:25:07.240 --> 1:25:10.120 gets an a Craft. He gets an a tight end 1:25:10.160 --> 1:25:12.840 eleven in fantasy points per game. He ranks first in 1:25:13.080 --> 1:25:16.479 yack per reception and miss forest tackles per reception in 1:25:16.520 --> 1:25:18.280 the tight end position, and this is a very good 1:25:18.360 --> 1:25:21.120 matchup for him. New Orleans has allowed the twelfth most 1:25:21.160 --> 1:25:24.720 receiving yards per game and the fourth most yards per 1:25:24.960 --> 1:25:26.680 run to opposing tight ends. 1:25:27.160 --> 1:25:31.040 Minnesota takes on Seattle and Justin Jefferson is an obvious 1:25:31.080 --> 1:25:36.040 a that does not need elaboration. Jordan Addison, his reliability 1:25:36.080 --> 1:25:38.120 is swored in the second half of the season. And Scott, 1:25:38.120 --> 1:25:41.200 you texted me earlier today a shocking stat. 1:25:41.320 --> 1:25:44.760 Yeah, Jordan Addison is sixth all time and touchdown receptions 1:25:44.800 --> 1:25:47.280 by a player under the age of twenty three. The 1:25:47.320 --> 1:25:50.200 only five who had more touchdowns before their twenty third 1:25:50.360 --> 1:25:54.960 twenty third birthday Randy Moss, Rob Gronkowski, Jamar Chase, Odell 1:25:55.000 --> 1:25:56.560 Beckham Junior and Larry Fitzgerald. 1:25:56.640 --> 1:25:59.400 That is some amazing company to be in right there. 1:26:00.600 --> 1:26:05.280 Over the last nine games, has finished has finished above 1:26:05.320 --> 1:26:08.599 wide receiver twenty nine eight different times. He has finished 1:26:08.640 --> 1:26:11.120 in the top ten four different times. He runs from 1:26:11.120 --> 1:26:12.720 all parts of the field, which means he's going to 1:26:12.720 --> 1:26:16.200 see all of the Seattle cornerbacks, including big time gambler 1:26:16.600 --> 1:26:20.320 Tariq Wollen, who has given up six touchdowns that's fourth most. 1:26:20.640 --> 1:26:22.000 On the other side of the field, he's going to 1:26:22.000 --> 1:26:27.320 see Josh Joby's job or join Provoball Focus is seventy 1:26:27.360 --> 1:26:30.000 six ranked corner so nice opportunities for Addison, who comes 1:26:30.040 --> 1:26:31.080 in with a B grade. 1:26:31.840 --> 1:26:32.880 Staying with the passing game. 1:26:32.960 --> 1:26:35.639 T J. Hockinson been a little quiet, but his seven 1:26:35.720 --> 1:26:38.479 targets last week was a nice uptick. He still doesn't 1:26:38.600 --> 1:26:42.559 scored this year, which is a bummer. While Seattle looks 1:26:42.600 --> 1:26:45.519 like a decent tight end defense on paper, the three 1:26:45.880 --> 1:26:50.479 Hockinson level tight ends that Seattle has faced Sam Laporta, 1:26:50.720 --> 1:26:55.799 George Kittle, Trey McBride twice averaged seven catches for seventy 1:26:55.800 --> 1:26:58.080 eight yards. We'd certainly take that from t J. Hockinson, 1:26:58.080 --> 1:26:59.839 who comes in with a B grade in this one. 1:27:00.080 --> 1:27:02.120 Sam Donald gets a B grade. He's been a top 1:27:02.240 --> 1:27:06.400 six fantasy quarterback in four of the past seven games. 1:27:06.760 --> 1:27:07.479 His lack of. 1:27:07.560 --> 1:27:12.000 Rushing upside probably caps him at a rud round sixth quarterback, 1:27:12.000 --> 1:27:13.679 and that's for about where I see him coming in here. 1:27:13.920 --> 1:27:17.639 Seattle has allowed exactly two passing touchdowns in the three 1:27:17.840 --> 1:27:20.599 in three straight games and in five of the past seven. 1:27:20.840 --> 1:27:23.919 Only Kyler Murray and Skyler Thompson failed to score touchdowns 1:27:23.920 --> 1:27:27.200 against the Seahawks, making Donald a very safe Playt's go 1:27:27.240 --> 1:27:30.240 over to the Seattle side. Kenneth Walker off the injury 1:27:30.280 --> 1:27:32.960 port so is Zach Charbonnay, which is good news for them. 1:27:33.040 --> 1:27:35.840 Walker had been laboring and running in effectively while hurt. 1:27:35.840 --> 1:27:37.839 Hopefully this means he can be back to the dynamic 1:27:37.880 --> 1:27:40.719 runner that he has been and the Vikings are on defense, 1:27:40.720 --> 1:27:44.000 which is normally very Stout has been playing without middle 1:27:44.040 --> 1:27:47.120 linebacker Ivan Pace in three straight games. In those games 1:27:47.160 --> 1:27:50.960 without Pace, the Vikings dropped from number one in rushing 1:27:51.000 --> 1:27:54.160 yards allowed all the way down to number fifteen. They 1:27:54.240 --> 1:27:57.479 dropped from number two in yards after contact to number 1:27:57.520 --> 1:28:01.679 twenty five without Ivan Pace. So that makes Walker viable 1:28:01.720 --> 1:28:04.640 here at a B level grade. Zach Harvini as a 1:28:04.640 --> 1:28:05.160 backup is not. 1:28:05.400 --> 1:28:07.200 You want to hear a crazy stat about the running 1:28:07.240 --> 1:28:11.280 backs for Seattle. They get the fewest less than one 1:28:11.360 --> 1:28:15.720 yard per carry before hitting before contact. 1:28:16.000 --> 1:28:17.880 They got to get into a Shanahan system. 1:28:17.960 --> 1:28:20.960 They do Jackson Smith and Jigba has become an automatic 1:28:21.040 --> 1:28:23.280 a most weeks, and the Vikings are getting killed by 1:28:23.360 --> 1:28:26.200 slot receiver, so he maintains an A grade in this one. 1:28:26.439 --> 1:28:28.439 DK Metcalf down to a C grade. 1:28:28.760 --> 1:28:32.720 He's been a top twenty fantasy receiver one time in 1:28:32.760 --> 1:28:35.320 the last nine weeks, and I don't trust him to 1:28:35.360 --> 1:28:38.000 do much better here at the return of Vikings cornerbacks. 1:28:38.120 --> 1:28:41.800 Cornerback Stefan Gilmour should help the Vikings defense and just 1:28:41.800 --> 1:28:44.639 a C grade on Metcalp. And then lastly, Gino Smith 1:28:44.680 --> 1:28:47.839 the dangerous start because of a knee injury. It reduces 1:28:47.880 --> 1:28:51.440 his mobility and here comes a great Vikings blitzing defense. 1:28:51.960 --> 1:28:54.280 They're giving up average games of two hundred and forty 1:28:54.320 --> 1:28:57.679 five passing yards though the past six, but only less 1:28:57.720 --> 1:29:00.360 than one passing touchdown per game. Overall, we don't want 1:29:00.360 --> 1:29:02.800 to start Gino Smith in a tricky matchup in a 1:29:02.920 --> 1:29:06.439 rain soaked game, so he is just a C grade. 1:29:06.479 --> 1:29:08.920 Thanks for listening, everybody. Best of luck in the semi finals. 1:29:08.960 --> 1:29:11.280 We'll see you for a championship edition next week.
