00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 1: banquet in January. Let's dive right into the matchup, Scott First,

42
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: one up, Miami takes on Atlanta. This is a This

43
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: is the lowest scoring offense in the NFL for Miami.

44
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: Do you think they turn it around here against the Falcons?

45
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: Oh man going to be right off the bats? Yes,

46
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: you bet, trial by fire baby exactly. Yeah, because they're

47
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 1: so low scoring. I don't have any A grades for

48
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: this one. I did give my boy j J I

49
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: a B grade. His yards per carry scare me. But

50
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: the Falcons are bottom ten against the run, and every

51
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: running back that's had at least thirteen touches against them

52
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: has a mass either eighty five yards and a touchdown

53
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: and as averaging one game. I I think that I

54
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: think that's going to propel him right into that range.

55
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: He could probably do both. It really is you and

56
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: I are going to go down on this gily ship together.

57
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: I was right about him last year. This year it's yeah,

58
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: it's getting scary. Uh. Jervis Landry I give a B grade. Uh.

59
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: DeVonta Parker is now doubtful, probably not gonna play making

60
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: Landry the main target for Cutler, even though Coutlors not

61
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: throwing much hundred seventy six yards per game. Uh, Jarvis

62
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: Landry's he's He's averaging seven catches and eleven targets per game.

63
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: That's a nice safe floor. The Falcons have only allowed

64
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: one wide receiver over sixty yards this year, so I'm

65
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: benching all the rest of the passing game. But I

66
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: am giving B grades to Jarvis Landry and j h

67
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: Iuh for Atlanta, Julio Jones is an obvious start for me.

68
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: I don't really need to go into him. DeVonta Freeman,

69
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: I'm also giving an A grade. Uh. He's got the

70
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: highest touchdown conversion rate inside the ten, scoring on five

71
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: of his nine attempts. He's scored in every game, averaging

72
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: two touches per game over the last three weeks. And

73
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: even though the Miami's got a top ten run defense,

74
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: so did Buffalo last week, and Freeman died great So

75
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: UH given him an A grade. I have his counterpart there, uh,

76
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman. I'm giving him a B grade. He's averaged

77
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: a d seventeen total yards of the last two games.

78
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: UH scored once. Dolphins have done a good job limiting

79
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: opponents on the ground, but Melvin Gordon caught seven balls,

80
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: Kamara cut ten balls, and Coleman's averaging five targets per game.

81
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: I think he can get his his points through the air.

82
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: Going through the air. Matt Ryan uh three of the

83
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: four quarterbacks that Placed played Matt played Miami had over

84
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty yards and a score. I think

85
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan's the best QB they're gonna play, or they

86
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: have played, of that bunch. So I'm giving him a

87
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: B grade. And Austin Hooper Miami has been sneakily not

88
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: very good against tight ends, allowing seven receptions in fifty

89
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: seven yards to tight ends. Hooper disappeared for two games.

90
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: He's been top two, top twelve for two games, and

91
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: with the new out, I think you might see a

92
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: slight increase in targets. I'm giving Austin Hooper a C grade,

93
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: and I'm benching the rest. I mean, there there's some

94
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: dart throat to Taylor Gabrielle. There is a little bit. Yeah,

95
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: it went SNeW went out and Julio went out last week.

96
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: He's in week four. He didn't have many catches, so

97
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: he does scare me. I couldn't quite give him a secret. Alright,

98
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: no problem, nicely done. First matchup in the books. Well done.

99
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: Giants take on Denver Brian Giants will be without their

100
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: number one, number two, number three, and number four wide

101
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: receivers this week. So can I start anybody? Yeah, let's

102
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: just get right to the benching Umi. Yes, so are

103
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: his wide receiver quote unquote weapons including Tavares King, Roger Lewis,

104
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: At Egan, Travis Rudolph, Doc Doby, Sneezy whatever. Correct. Why

105
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: do I get this game? Because your Giants got That's

106
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: why you get this game. Let's let's enjoy the misery.

107
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: Let's push forward here. Evan Ingram, You're you're churning your

108
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: way to Eli Manning's replacement. I'm hoping for the seam

109
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: you should. This is a suck for luck moment for

110
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: your squad, just like it was for Peyton Manning. Same

111
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: thing with Eli Manning in the bitter twilight of his career.

112
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,680
Speaker 1: Here's your opportunity to draft. Get to right to the

113
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: top of a draft, top three pick, taken a take

114
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: a fantastic quarterback and never look back. I'm with you,

115
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: no shame and uh, going for the tank job anyway.

116
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: I will start Evan Ingram this week. I'll give him

117
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: a seed despite the goose egg last week. In Denver's

118
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 1: last three games, UM Oakland tight ends combined for five

119
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: catches sixty one yards, Buffalo tight ends combined for seven

120
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 1: seventy and one and Jason Witten had ten catches for

121
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: ninety seven yards and a touchdown. Evan Ingrams by the

122
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 1: best wide receiver on this team right now, so he

123
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: should see a healthy amount of targets in this game

124
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 1: and then in any other Giants running back. Any Giants

125
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: running back is on the bench. Denver is allowing two

126
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: point four yards for carry and the only running back

127
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: to score against them this year was Melvin Gordon in

128
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: Week one and he caught that touchdown. Nothing's getting done

129
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: on the ground for Giants. In going over to Denver,

130
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: I'll give to Marius Thomas and Manuel Sanders and be

131
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: probably only one has the potential to get there at

132
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: the other one probably end up at a sea sea

133
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: level production. Um. The Giants are allowing only a hundred

134
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: and twenty yards per game to wide receivers. That's total,

135
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: the whole wide receiver. Nothing that's nothing and not one

136
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 1: opposing wide out his top seventy yards. Uh. Still the

137
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: Giants pets heads are falling off, though, so I can

138
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: think you can start Sanders and Thomas in this one.

139
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: H No Dominique, Rodgers Comarady. But that doesn't affect either

140
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,119
Speaker 1: because um he runs out of are he covers a slot?

141
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: Uh A J Derby, I can't give a cuh tight

142
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: end Virgil Green wasn't targeted last week while Derby, wait

143
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: for it, went to the races catches yards. A tip

144
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: of the hat on that, Derby, Oh, double up on it.

145
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: I like it. New York is just getting abused by

146
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: tight ends. They've surrendered all the best stats to the position,

147
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: allowing the most in every category. So Derby is startable.

148
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: I'm still benching Trevor send me in though, UM to

149
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: fifty and two is probably his absolute ceiling in this game.

150
00:07:58,520 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: I don't think he gets there. I think they're better

151
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: options coming up and take a chance on me and C. J.

152
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: Anderson will give him a b at least twenty carries

153
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: and three or four games, has at least three catches

154
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 1: in two of those four games. He'll still get the

155
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: bulk of the touches in this game. Um keeping Jamal

156
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: Charles on the bench, he won't see more than ten

157
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: carries and has been invisible in the passing game just

158
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: one because he in his heyday he was awesome. I

159
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 1: think you're under selling c. J. Anderson. He's a bell cow.

160
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: As you mentioned, he's getting twenty carries. He's been great

161
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: at home in particular, and New York has yet to

162
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: hold a starting running back under seventy one rushing yards.

163
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: So I think I've got I've got c. J. Anderson's

164
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: my number five running back overall for this week. I

165
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:36,719
Speaker 1: love him all right. I'm just disappointed Brian didn't throw

166
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: in a champion at the bit for this matchup on

167
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: a J dirt, so that would have been good. All

168
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: I'm upset about there. Green Bay takes on Minnesota. Aaron

169
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: Rodgers is safely an a uh no Anderson dajo, which

170
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: we've saw as Viking fans will remember when when Sendao's out.

171
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: Even though he's not a great coverage guy man, the

172
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: whole secondary has a very different feel to it and

173
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: when when Rogers faced the Vikings last December, check out

174
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,280
Speaker 1: a fantasy line in the most recent matchup. Three hundred

175
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: forty seven passing yards, four passing touchdowns, and he ran

176
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 1: in another one. Who But historically the Vikings have contained Rogers,

177
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: at least by his standards in the prior to matchups,

178
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: the only threw one touchdown in each game, hadn't topped

179
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: three hundred yards in his prior six matchups against the

180
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: Vikings prior to last December. Uh. Still a great for

181
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers because he's Aaron Rodgers. And again secondary could

182
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: be and likely is without Andrewson. Day helped Jordy Nelson

183
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: and Davante Adams. To me, this has been super murky,

184
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: and I've been battling with this all week. It's unclear

185
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: who who's gonna get Xavier Roads. Traditionally it's Ben Jordy

186
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 1: Nelson for a lot of games, but not always. It

187
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 1: was Terence Newman in the most recent one, and Newman

188
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 1: got got roasted in that game. So I think they

189
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: may put Xavier Roads on Jody Nelson. But the best

190
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: receiver on the team is Davante Adams, and so if

191
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna put Xavier on the best receiver, to me,

192
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: that's still that's Adams. He's the guy who leads the

193
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: team and targets and receptions in yards. Who's the guy

194
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: who's begging the drums so hard for this preseason? I

195
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: can't remember, um um. I think it was Harrison. Was

196
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: Matt Harrison? Maybe it was Matt Harris. Who is this

197
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: guy you keep talking about? Hang on, wait, it's gonna

198
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: come to me. It's gonna come to me at some point.

199
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: It's wrong. There we go, man, that took a while.

200
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: Whoever gets Trey Wayne's obviously it's got a really pretty

201
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: good opportunity. But I don't think it's obvious how the

202
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 1: Vikings are gonna defend Nelson and Adams. So I've got

203
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: B grades on both to just sort of mitigate the

204
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: Rhodes factor. And maybe that's not going to be a

205
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: road shadow opportunity. They prefer to play Rhads on the

206
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: defenses right side of the field. Maybe he'll just stick

207
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: to the side of the field. We'll see Aaron Jones. Uh,

208
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: we'll sticking with the passing lasting I'll mention Martel Spend

209
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: it's on the bench. I went to back for this

210
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:53,719
Speaker 1: guy in the preseason. I thought he was gonna have

211
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: a good season. I thought they were in targeting him

212
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: a lot which they are. He doesn't catch it, so

213
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. He hasn't got a touchdown pass and

214
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,599
Speaker 1: um Vikings opponents have completed at least five past the

215
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 1: game to a tight end. So there's a little upside here,

216
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,440
Speaker 1: but I've had it with that loser. Let's go to

217
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: the running game. Aaron Jones is a really nice start.

218
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: I think be grade here. I thought he looked fantastic

219
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: last week. We'll talk more about Aaron Jones a little later,

220
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: but this matchup is a little tricky. Vikings defense has

221
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,320
Speaker 1: allowed just three point three yards per carry, just one

222
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: rushing touchdown all year. It's not a given that Aaron's

223
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: gonna have a big game here. I think you will

224
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,000
Speaker 1: not have as good a game as he had last week.

225
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: BE grade on Aaron Jones time Montgomery. If he plays,

226
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: you can put into a C grade for PPR leagues.

227
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: I think he could catch five six receptions in this game.

228
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Viking side. Offense is going to

229
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,719
Speaker 1: be missing Stefan Digs and Nick Easton. Those are not

230
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 1: in substantial losses, and of course Sam Bradford case Keenum

231
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: is at the helm. I have a nervous C grade

232
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: on Keenum, mostly just because it's a bye week. Was

233
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: upside is the three touchdowns he threw in Week three,

234
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: But more realistically, you're gonna get somewhere in the neighbor

235
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 1: to like half the yardage and half the touchdowns you

236
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: put up in that big game against the Bucks. Packers.

237
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: Secondary is improved. Hardly impenetrable, but improved. Dak Prescott just

238
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: through three touchdowns, and if Aaron Rodgers does get out

239
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: to a big lead, case is gonna have to throw

240
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 1: a lot. So I've got a C grade on him.

241
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: I've gotta be grade on feeling he's going to draw

242
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: a slot corner Quintin Rollins and that's a juicy matchup.

243
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: Just in the last two games, far lesser talents Cole

244
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: Beasley and Kendall Wright have scored three times, and Theland

245
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,440
Speaker 1: destroyed the Packers for two hundred yards and two touchdowns

246
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 1: last time they played. Granted that was not from the

247
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: slot um. Still great matchup over Alfred Theland, and I

248
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 1: think there's plenty of production here. He'll get some extra

249
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: looks with digs out. Rudolph gets a C grade. It

250
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 1: took the loss of four Chicago linebackers to do it.

251
00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: But Rudolph finally paid off in the Keys Case Keendom

252
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 1: game last week. Hopefully that's gonna they will not require

253
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: similar circumstances this week. The Packers have done a good

254
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: job against tight ends all season, allowing four receptions and

255
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: just thirty or four yards per game. They have not

256
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: given up a touchdown. Thus the C grade for Kyle Rudolph.

257
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: And then let's go to um Michael Floyd. I know

258
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 1: there's there's some steams to play Michael Floyd here because

259
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: he'll start in place the Stefon Diggs. But Michael Floyd's

260
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: last game with more than thirty six yards was almost

261
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 1: a year ago, and his total number of receptions as

262
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: a Viking is now sitting at one from last week's game.

263
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 1: That's it. I just don't I don't know that he

264
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: goes from that level of production to somebody that you

265
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: want to start in one week. Not impossible. Uh, He's

266
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: Paul Allen's um one hit wonder, So you never know.

267
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: Jerick McKinnon gets a C grade here. In past seasons,

268
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: we Vikings have asked Jerick McKinnon to step up in

269
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: many opportunities here, and it's never really come to light.

270
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: He did have that fifty six yard touchdown run last week,

271
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: but his other runs average two point four yards per carry.

272
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: Packers of the twenty second ranked run defense and have

273
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: problems with timeshare speedbacks. Chris Carson had a good game,

274
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 1: Davant Freeman had a good game. Tore Cohen did well

275
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 1: against them. So there are some opportunities here. Hopefully you

276
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: can catch a few passes as well. See great Jerick McKinnon.

277
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: That was a beefy matchup. So case Keenum like has

278
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: terrorized Tampa Bay during his career. Supposedly, maybe it's three way,

279
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 1: maybe it's a Bay thing, so maybe you'll do it. Yeah,

280
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: every every team with the Bay isn't is in trouble

281
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 1: against case Keenum. That would be handy here. If you

282
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: had to live on one bay, would you choose the

283
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: one that's on a beautiful, warm ocean or the one

284
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 1: that's on the western side of Lake Michigan. Mm hmm,

285
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: go to the ocean. I've been. I've been to the

286
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: Green Bay a couple of times. I don't really need

287
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: to go back. When we come back nine players, not

288
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: normally and you're starting lineup, take a chance on me.

289
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: Will tell you who they are when we come back

290
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: your distinct of Fantasy Football Weekly on the fan, ch

291
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: step chance. Yeah, welcome to the show Fantasy Football Weekly.

292
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: Take a chance on me. And this is what I've

293
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: got to believe is the original Swedish version. I'm just guessing,

294
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: not owing any Swedish. I wouldn't say Nola for a year,

295
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: but I didn't learn any Swedish. I saw a plenty

296
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: of Swedish. That is a good looking campus. Let me

297
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: tell you, Yeah, I w it's a good stay the

298
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: same deal. I'll challenge you on that one. Uh, take

299
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: a chance to me. Nine players not normally in your

300
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: starting line up. We beginning at the quarterback position, Scott, Uh,

301
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: I take a chance on me. Quarterback is Jacoby Brissette.

302
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: Monday Night against the Titans. They're allowing The Titans are

303
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: allowing two point six touchdown per game to quarterbacks, which

304
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: is the worst in the NFL. They have allowed multiple

305
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 1: touchdowns in four their five games, and in the two

306
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: games Tennessee played against the rushing quarterback Russell Wilson had

307
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: four hundred yards and four touchdowns and Deshaun Watson had

308
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: over three yards and five touchdowns. Not on the ground. No, no,

309
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: but a little bit of ground yardage. Over the last

310
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: three weeks, Bristte has rushed for sixty one yards and

311
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: three scores to go along with his two d forty

312
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: three yards passing. Love him in this week, and if

313
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: you have Mariota, he's a good backup plan because they

314
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: both played in the same game. All right, Brian, your quarterback.

315
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: I am doubling down on Josh McCown. McCown last weeks.

316
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: My guy last week had two touchdowns. Like you get

317
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: two touchdowns on a Josh McCown, you get the peacock.

318
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: I'll take it, accepted the bell cow I just trying

319
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: to get that the bell cown wandering free? Yes, alright,

320
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: I was doing the WALKA shame around somewhere. McCown is

321
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: a marksman with the footballing completed over step his passes

322
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: over the last three weeks. He now draws the Patriots,

323
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 1: who are allowing passing yards per game. Every opposing quarterback

324
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: has top three hundred yards. New England has surrendered the

325
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: most passing touchdowns to the position, and the Patriots will

326
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 1: certainly score points. The Jets will have to keep pace,

327
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: so mccount will be a fantasy Helper. This week, you're

328
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 1: doubling down on your guy. I'm doubling down on my

329
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: guy from last week. We're quadrupling down. It's Brian Hoyer

330
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: against Washington. You gotta pick your spots with Hoyer, namely

331
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: against bad defenses. When facing the Rams and the Colts,

332
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer's average game three hundred forty two yards and

333
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:41,719
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. This week he faces the Josh Norman Liss

334
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 1: Redskins secondary, and even with Norman dated allowed passing touchdowns

335
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,479
Speaker 1: in every game, Washington is a terrific run defense. And

336
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: with Carlos Hyde hurting Mike Shanahan, it's gonna be passing

337
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 1: throughout this game. Don't forget the Shanahan revenge Angle. Jannahand

338
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: revenge Jangle absolutely, and that's not the only revenge jangle

339
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: from that game has been able to discuss playing as

340
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: we will discuss later. That's about the running back position, Scott, Yeah,

341
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: I have Chris Ivory for Jacksonville. I know four Nette

342
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 1: is gonna run all over that Rams team. The Rams

343
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: there bottom five defense, allowing a hundred and sixty six

344
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: rushing yards per game to running backs, but over the

345
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: last two weeks, Chris Ivory has gotten nine touches forty

346
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: two yards. And you know, maybe when four Nette gets

347
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: tired of running, they'll let Ivory in for in. Just

348
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,479
Speaker 1: I mean, I've Rey had a goal line rush last day.

349
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: He didn't score, but it might happen this week. It's

350
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: it's one heck of a you know, dart through all right, Bryan,

351
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,719
Speaker 1: I'm going to Oakland's Jalen Richard at home against the Chargers. Um.

352
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: I don't think the Raiders want Derek carrd is broken

353
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 1: back standing in the pocket too long in this game

354
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 1: against the team the Chargers, who had the high sack

355
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: percentage in the NFL. Raiders are going to lean on

356
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: their running backs in this game, and that certainly includes

357
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: in the passing game as well. DeAndre Washington is if

358
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: you with a hamstring injury, John Is a Olah Walle

359
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: has already been ruled out. That leaves Marshawn Lynch and

360
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: Jalen Richard. Shard will get a handful of carries, but

361
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: certainly will handle all the passing work. The Charges just

362
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: allowed ten catches the Giants running backs last week, so

363
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,719
Speaker 1: I think Richard is a PPR helper as well as

364
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: week your leader in the NFL and yards per carrey

365
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:17,160
Speaker 1: is Alex Collins seven point one yards per carry. Terrence

366
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: West is out for a month. Buck Allen excuse me, sorry,

367
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: Bunk Allen is going to be more of a pass

368
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 1: catcher and that's what he does. It goes up against

369
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: the Bears is a Bears defense that's a lot of

370
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: rushing touchdown and every game this season, and the rushing

371
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: touchdowns should go to Alex Collins. Let's go to the

372
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,719
Speaker 1: wide receiver position. Well, I don't know what received endight

373
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: end receiver, all right, I'm going with Ryan Griffin for Houston.

374
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: I like it. With so many tight ends injured or

375
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:45,200
Speaker 1: I'm by, I mean, a lot of people are looking

376
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 1: for something. The Browns have been crushed by tight ends.

377
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: Jesse James, Ben Watson, Austin Faring, James, Tyler Croft all

378
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: had at least six catches of the brown against the Browns.

379
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: Three of them scored. Ben Watson didn't, but he had

380
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: ninety one yards. I mean, they've allowed five touchdowns to

381
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: position and Griffin leads tight ends and targets over the

382
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 1: last three weeks for the Texans with five per game.

383
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: Kind of like that call, all right, nice. I too,

384
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: am going tight end, which makes this great data for

385
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 1: someone playing on fanball, where you can play up to

386
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: three tight ends. That's a good point. You could play

387
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 1: three differentiator from the competition in my opinion. But anyways,

388
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: I'm going Kovie Fleaner at home against the Lions. Fleaner

389
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 1: has fizzled since scoring in his first two games of

390
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: the season, but I like him in this matchup, even

391
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: with Willie sneed back, Even with Willie sneedback, and we

392
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 1: don't know what capacity, but Detroit is ranks against tight

393
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: ends by football outsiders that are allowing more than seventy

394
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: yards per game to the position. And in his time

395
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: in New Orleans, Fleener is averaging twice as many yards

396
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: at home than he is on the road. So he's

397
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: much better at home where he's playing this week, So

398
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: I got cleaner. My receiver is ju Ju Smith Schuster.

399
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: If you don't know, he is your slot receiver for

400
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers. Um He's been good enough to start

401
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 1: since Week two, displacing a long time slot receiver, Eli Rodgers.

402
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,479
Speaker 1: His yardage has improved in every one of his games.

403
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: He has been targeted at least four times in every game,

404
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: and he's already scored in two of his four NFL starts.

405
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 1: He's a fat fifty scoring rate. Juju Smith Schuster, He'll

406
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: go up against arguably the worst cornerback in the NFL,

407
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 1: Philip Gaines, who Pro Football Focus ranks as the one

408
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 1: hundred eight cornerback out of the one hundred nine quarterbacks

409
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: that they rate. Also in Juju Smith Schuster, he's six

410
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: in the NFL. He MSS speak one, he's six in

411
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: the NFL and red zone targets with seven. How about that,

412
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: Juju Smith Schuster, I like, thank you for adding a

413
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: little sizzle. I can't wait till Juju gets a B

414
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 1: great on the show. Someday gets a ju Ju b G. Nice.

415
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: You should have saved that, and I'm out you guys, Yeah,

416
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: you're done. Cleveland, it takes on Houston. The the Cleveland

417
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: running game has been an utter disaster. How do you

418
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: feel about how do you feel about crow? Well? But

419
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson. There's Duke Johnson. Though Duke Johnson has been

420
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: a pleasant surprise touchdowns of three straight games. Right well

421
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: for for Cleveland. First off, I'm not giving any a grades,

422
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,360
Speaker 1: just none, because you know the Browns. I'm giving Duke

423
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,320
Speaker 1: Johnson and B grade. And this is more about Duke

424
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 1: Johnson is the matchup the The Texans are only allowing

425
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: twenty two yards per game in the receiving game. That's

426
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 1: where Duke Johnson thrives. But Terence West scored twice last week,

427
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: and it's really hard to ignore Duke Johnson averaging six catches,

428
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 1: eighty five yards and a score over the last three games.

429
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: I think he can overcome that matchup. I have a

430
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: C grade on Isaiah Crawl, and honestly, I thought about

431
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: just putting him his bank. Frankly should have been a

432
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: bench in every one of his previous games, so honestly,

433
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have been felt bad if you did. Honestly,

434
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,120
Speaker 1: this is like the lowest of SEA grades you can get.

435
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: I think he'll get ten carries in the first ten

436
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: plus carries in the first half. That's only why uh

437
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 1: for Net and Hunt are the only two runingbacks to

438
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 1: top forty five yards on the season against the Texans

439
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: and Corals averaging three point one yards per carry. And

440
00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: when the Browns fall behind by ten points, Krawl only

441
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: has eight carries and that's been over seven and a

442
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: half orders worth of play, so he's barely getting a

443
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: touch carry per quarter and they're constantly down by ten,

444
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: which is why Duke Johnson, as the past catching back,

445
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: is getting much. Texans will get up by ten pretty early.

446
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 1: I'm afraid he'll be gone. Curl will not play much

447
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 1: in the second half. Right in the passing game. The

448
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 1: only guy I'm really starting, and and it's a little

449
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: if he is David and Joku. He's scored in three

450
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: of his four four games. The Texans are allowing you

451
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: over seventy yards per game to tight ends in the

452
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: last three weeks, fifty yards or score for for the

453
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: starting tight end. I think Najoku's talent is gonna win out,

454
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: even though the valve is still involved. I'm benching Hogan.

455
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: I'm mentioning all the wide receivers because it's kind of

456
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: like fantasy, whack them all every week. It's a different target.

457
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 1: Probably remember where Sharp Higgins was a thing week ago. Yeah,

458
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: I mean, Ricardo Lewis has led in the last two weeks,

459
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: but I'm not confident in that situation this week against

460
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 1: the Texans. All right, let's go to the Houston side.

461
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson A grade. He's my number one rand quarterback

462
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: this week. He's also playing a team that allows two

463
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: point six touchdowns per game to quarterbacks. Just uh He's

464
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 1: He's the only running quarterback that faced the Browns so far.

465
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 1: Brissette ran to in Deshaun Watson. You know, has the

466
00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: ability to run. Every quarterback against the Browns has multiple touchdowns,

467
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 1: and I think you can argue Watson's the best quarterback

468
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: they will face, will have faced Hopkins. Pretty obvious A

469
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 1: for me. I'm moving on uh C grade for Will Fuller. Yeah,

470
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 1: I know, he scored twice each of the last two weeks,

471
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 1: but seventy of the the wide receiver production that goes

472
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 1: against the Browns is in the wide receiver one. The

473
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: second wide wide receiver against the Browns is averaging only

474
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 1: twenty four yards and hasn't scored all the touchdowns. Are

475
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 1: the number one wide receiver against the Browns. So I

476
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: don't exactly love him. I I did give him a

477
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 1: C grade because of that. Trust him because the last

478
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 1: two weeks it seems like Watson and him do have

479
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: a connection. Uh C grade for Lamar Miller. The Browns

480
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 1: are holding all the running backs under three yards per

481
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: carry and even Levy on Bell only at thirty two

482
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 1: yards in week one. That said, Miller is seeing six

483
00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 1: of the touches seven percent of snaps last week. He's

484
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: one of only five backstaff fifteen fifteen touches every week

485
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: this season. That volume. I'm giving him a seagret. It's hard.

486
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,800
Speaker 1: It's hard to ignore. Ryan Griffin was my ticket chance

487
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: on me player and bench the rest all right? Perfect.

488
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 1: When we come back, New England takes on the Jets,

489
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 1: you'll find out if um Elijah McGuire is sitting on

490
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: a big game or not, and if there are any

491
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 1: possible Patriots. You'd actually mentioned this matchup when we returned

492
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 1: to Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan. You're distinctive Fantasy

493
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: Football Weekly on the Fan. Welcome back to the show.

494
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: It is Fantasy Football Weekly. You got a big block

495
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: of matchups for you, beginning with New England at the

496
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: New York Jets. Brian Johnson start all my Patriots, right, yeah,

497
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: I do do not have a bench grade here. Uh.

498
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,360
Speaker 1: Starting with Tom Brady, he gets to nay, he's expected

499
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 1: to play with the shoulder injury, like he'll play. The

500
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 1: Jets have faced garbage quarterbacks outside of Derek Carr, who

501
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: threw for three touchdowns. Brady can certainly do the same.

502
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: Rob Gronkowski, on the other hand, I'm gonna give him

503
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 1: a B just for Bee where I'm a little nervous

504
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 1: with Gronk as always, but he should be good to

505
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: go with the thigh injury. Practiced all week, practice all week,

506
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 1: ten days off, He's fine. He will play. Who knows

507
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 1: how how long I'll need to play for, but you're

508
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: certainly starting him this week against the Jets. Opposing tight

509
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 1: ends have been involved against them. Buffalo tight ends combined

510
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: for five catches seventy five yards and a touchdown. Oakland

511
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,959
Speaker 1: tight ends caught six balls. Cleveland tight ends caught six

512
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,359
Speaker 1: for seventy two and one. So gron can match that

513
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 1: box square by himself quite easily. Brandon Cooks he gets

514
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: a B as well. His target totals are a little

515
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: alarming this year. He hasn't seen more than eight targets

516
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: in the game. Not one target in the red zone

517
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: yet either, So I'm a little worried about Cooks. But

518
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,000
Speaker 1: Michael Crabs he had a monster game against the Jets.

519
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 1: DeVante Parker had a very strong performance as well. Cooks

520
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 1: is certainly of that ilk, so he gets the B grade.

521
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 1: Like him, I still like him, but I like Chris

522
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 1: Hogan more. I'm giving him an A here uh a

523
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: homecoming of sorts, by the way, you always gotta like

524
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 1: the homecoming bonus in addition to the revenge not quite

525
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 1: revenge here uh. Four catches seventy yards the last time

526
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: Hogan was in New Jersey. That's a safe floor for

527
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 1: him in this one. Over the last three weeks, he

528
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: has been targeted five times inside the ten yard line.

529
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 1: That's very good usage in the red zone, and taller

530
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 1: wide receivers have had more success against New York, so

531
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: he gets the A grade here. Danny Amndola, I was

532
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,200
Speaker 1: closely giving a B two. I'm gonna give him a

533
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: SEA with Gronk back in the lineup. But get this.

534
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: Since the start of Amundola has played in twenty three

535
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: games with Gronk active and six with Gronk inactive. In

536
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: the games without Gronk, Amendola has only average an extra

537
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: target and less than one added catch per game. So

538
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 1: it's not like his production hinges on Gronk being or not.

539
00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 1: So he's certainly more. Did you do He's mind or

540
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 1: twelve wide receiver. This week it's the buster screen effect,

541
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: the screen door as we've called him Custer screen because

542
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: of because of what he lets the opposition due to him.

543
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: We um. I think that's a nice matchup, and I

544
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 1: still like Amndola. I can be on board with it.

545
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 1: I was very close to a be So let's go

546
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: with it. B there you talked to me into it. Uh.

547
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: And over to the running backs, Mike Gillossly, he only

548
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: gets a C for me. Over the last three weeks.

549
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 1: He has just one rush from inside the five yard line,

550
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 1: no surprise. He hasn't scored since Week two. But the

551
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 1: Jets are ranked twenty against the run by Football Outsiders

552
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: d v o A ratings, and they've allowed the fourth

553
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 1: most running back touches and gold to go situations. So

554
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 1: gillless lye uh, I think I here's an angle you got.

555
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 1: You got Brady coming in with a sore arm, You've

556
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: got a terrible Jets run defense. Why don't you just

557
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 1: run a bunch in this game? I like gillously and

558
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 1: if I were doing like a fan ball, if I

559
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: were used to making a fan ball roster, I would

560
00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,719
Speaker 1: consider avoiding all of the all of the Patriots except

561
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: gillously and try to take take the angle that it

562
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 1: plays out that way as a as a run first

563
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: offensive game plan. I can't argue that either. But I

564
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 1: still James White though, giving him a B. Here at

565
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 1: least eight targets and three of his last four games,

566
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: and he's caught at least seven passes in those three games. Uh.

567
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 1: The Jets have allowed receiving touchdowns and back to back games,

568
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: and White caught a touchdown in their last meeting. So

569
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: writing is on the wall for a White touchdown in

570
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: this game, I think. So he gets a B grade

571
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: over to the Jets. Uh. Let's start with Elijah McGuire.

572
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,120
Speaker 1: You mentioned him. He seems like the best running back

573
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,000
Speaker 1: start in this game against the Patriots, who are top

574
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:25,440
Speaker 1: twelve in our rushing and receiving yards allowed to running back,

575
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: so they are far more generous through the air. Um

576
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: blow Powell very banged up with that calf injury, unlikely

577
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: to play. Matt Forte should make his return from a

578
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 1: toe injury, but I just don't trust that guy. So

579
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 1: McGuire is a running back I'm starting out of this crew.

580
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,720
Speaker 1: I'm giving him to see almost a borderline B. But

581
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: he just doesn't hasn't looked that great. He hasn't really

582
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: passed the eye test, but you should get the opportunities here.

583
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: He is startable as his Austin Safari and Jenkins. My

584
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: premature speculation from a few weeks back. Over the last

585
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: two weeks, a s J is second among tight ends

586
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,959
Speaker 1: and catches. He saw a healthy eight targets last week

587
00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: than KP Talk also scored. The Patriots are one of

588
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 1: four teams to see forty plus targets from opposing tight ends,

589
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: and they've allowed the most red zone targets and red

590
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 1: zone touches tight ends so far this year, so A

591
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: s J will continue to surge in this one. I'm

592
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: also starting Jammin and curse he gets to be at

593
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: least one opposing wide receiver has caught at least one

594
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: touchdown indoor top to one hundred yards in every game

595
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: against New England, so it's no surprise of Patriots have

596
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: also allowed the fifth most catches and second most yards

597
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: to wide receivers. That almost makes Robby Anderson the hail

598
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: Mary c play as well. In a game where the

599
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: Jets will likely be chasing points, I don't like it

600
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: a lot, but if you're desperate, you could play Anderson.

601
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: And that is why I might take a chance to

602
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,719
Speaker 1: make quarterback was Josh mccounty. Chicago takes on Baltimore, and well,

603
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: let's start with the guys you ken start in Chicago.

604
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 1: There's not a lot Jordan Howard for starters, four touchdowns

605
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 1: have massed his yard is deficiencies, though he's been under

606
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: eighty total yards in four of the five games he's

607
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: played this year. Um and the Ravens defense though bottom

608
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: ten against the in the league against rushing yards allowed,

609
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 1: and they've given up a rushing score need to the

610
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: last three games, so I I expect a lot of

611
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 1: running to keep Mitch Trabinsky's reps reasonable. He or so

612
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: B grade on Jordan Howard Tarik though on the bench.

613
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: He hit rock bottom Monday night, targeted just once, finished

614
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: with negative six receiving yards, and I don't see the

615
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: bombs back coming here. Against Baltimore, they've allowed the fourth

616
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,479
Speaker 1: fewest receptions to running backs and have not given up

617
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: a passing touchdown through the air to the position. So

618
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: he's on the bench going to the passing game. Everybody's

619
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: on the bench except Zach Miller. Now we all know

620
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks do the dump off stuff to the tight end.

621
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: We've seen it for years, we saw it last week.

622
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: It already, it's already starting. Miller will have a decent

623
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 1: shot at finding the end zone for a second consecutive

624
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: week against the Baltimore defense that gave up the three

625
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,239
Speaker 1: touchdown to Marcedes Lewis a couple of weekends ago. This

626
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:42,479
Speaker 1: is an opportunity for Zach Miller and for those another

627
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,479
Speaker 1: another of the tight end sleep We had all these

628
00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: slight tight end sleepers coming out our ears today. It's

629
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 1: a good thing too, because the tight end position has

630
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: been a disaster this season. If you don't one of

631
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: the good ones. Uh Drabinsky showed plenty of talent on

632
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: Monday Night, but it didn't e quit into fantasy stats

633
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: at all, just hundred twenty eight passing yards. He's got

634
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: almost no steaving talent to work with. Everybody else is

635
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: on the bench. Let's go to the Baltimore side. Already

636
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: told you Alex collins Is might take a chance on

637
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: me running back. He has a B grade here also

638
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: with a B grade, and it pains me, bunk Allen,

639
00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: He'll yield a lot of carries to Alex Collins, who

640
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: is literally doubling up his yards per carry, but he

641
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: should be able to shine as a receiver against a

642
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: group of Chicago linebackers potentially missing three or four starters

643
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: in this game. Alan bunk Allen five or six targets

644
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: in every game since Danny Wood had went down B

645
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,320
Speaker 1: B a B grade in PPRC grade in standard scoring leagues.

646
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: The only other starter I've got for you here is

647
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: Mike Wallace, who remains the downfield threat for Baltimore, but

648
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: Prince and mukamarket shadow him and that might effective effectively

649
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: neutralize him. Mukamara in the limited duty this year is

650
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 1: Ben Good. Chicago basically shut down Minnesota's outside passing game

651
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: on Monday Night, although Green Bay, Tampa and Pittsburgh had

652
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 1: wide receiver's post at least seventy five yards and or

653
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: a touchdown against the baron earlier matchups. Whillace is your

654
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: home run threat. You know the done Wallace. You just

655
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: gotta make the best on his four targets and maybe

656
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,479
Speaker 1: that happens here. Everybody else is on the bench. Flaka,

657
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: I don't need to tell you bad. He's been Jeremy

658
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: Macklin total dud since week two. Let's go to our

659
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: next matchup, Tampa Bay taking on the Arizona Cardinals. For

660
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,520
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay, Mike Evans kind of an inconsistent season, and

661
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 1: now he draws Patrick Peterson, another in a series of

662
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: tough matchups for Evans. What do you think, Yeah, it's

663
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: a really tough matchup. Hilton, Bryant, Garson, Jeffrey all had

664
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 1: rough mount outings against Patrick Peterson. I think Bryant was

665
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 1: the only one to score. I gave Mike Evans a

666
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: B grade. You're probably not benching him, but uh, don't

667
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 1: get too excited about this matchup. Deshan Jackson, however, I'm

668
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: I'm really excited that for that matchup he draws Justin Bethel,

669
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: who's been really exploited this this year. Deshan Jackson is

670
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 1: averaging a whopping eighteen yards per catch, and the number

671
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: two receiver against the Bucks is also allowing eighteen yards

672
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,200
Speaker 1: per catch to non number one wide receivers. The Cardinals

673
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: have also allowed seven wide receivers to either score or

674
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 1: get a hundred yards against them, and only one of

675
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: them was the number one wide receiver. Secondary receivers are crushing.

676
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: The crushing the Cardinals is here, and so I love

677
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: Deshan Jackson and gave him a B great as well.

678
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: You like Jackson better than Evans, I just might. I mean,

679
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,239
Speaker 1: it's just the matchup. It's it's just the matchup. I mean,

680
00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 1: de Sean Jackson only needs to catch four or five

681
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: passes to get to a hundred yards the way he's

682
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 1: going now, when the average eighteen yards to catch, that

683
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: makes it pretty easy. I will say this about Evans

684
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 1: and Pat Pete real quick. I used to do your

685
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: wide receiver rankings way back in the way for a

686
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 1: fantasy victory Church. I remember doing a detailed look at

687
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: all the touchdowns and Patrick Peterson. It's all the tall

688
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: guys six three or higher for like two to three

689
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,840
Speaker 1: years are the only ones who scored against Patrick Peterson.

690
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 1: And I like that. Evans certainly falls in that category.

691
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: But it's yeah, tough matchic like, yeah, he still gets

692
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 1: a B grades absolutely. Jamis Winston. I gave an a grade.

693
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: He's been crushing at the last three weeks forty one

694
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:02,720
Speaker 1: past attempts three thirty yards per game. Over that stretch,

695
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: he scored in all but one of his NFL games,

696
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 1: and he faces a Cardinals defense that allows two touchdowns

697
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: per week. Two quarterbacks on average. UH top twelve quarterback

698
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 1: for me this week. Cameron brad scored three three weeks

699
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: in a row. He's caught four balls or got over

700
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 1: over six targets in every one of those games. He

701
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: led the league in touchdowns. Last year, Ertz and Doyle

702
00:35:23,640 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 1: had good games against the Cardinals. I think Bryd's a

703
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 1: C start. Doug Martin I give a B start to.

704
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: I'm mostly hoping for volume here. The last three backs

705
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 1: that have played Arizona got between seventy five and nine

706
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 1: total yards, and I think with four fourteen touches and

707
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: five point seven yards per carrying his first game, if

708
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,279
Speaker 1: he gets similar workload this week, he could be a

709
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 1: decent B start bench. The rest over on Arizona Larry Fitzgerald,

710
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,840
Speaker 1: I think he's pretty automatic start. He's third in the

711
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: league in targets and receptions, and this week gets matched

712
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: up against one one of Pro football focuses lowest rated

713
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 1: cornerbacks in Robert McLean UH. Across from him, John Brown UH.

714
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: He the games that he was healthy for, he was

715
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: second in targets behind Fitzgerald and the and the Bucks

716
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: have allowed eleven different receivers to gain either fifty yards

717
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: or a touchdown. And that's just in four weeks, eleven

718
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,959
Speaker 1: different receivers. So I think there's the opportunity for him there.

719
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: Carson Palmer, I'm actually given an A grade. He's attempting

720
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: forty five passes per game. His offensive line and running

721
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: game are terrible, so he has to Palmer averages three

722
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: fifteen yards per game and the Bucks are allowing three

723
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:37,399
Speaker 1: fifteen yards per game, and the Bucks are also giving

724
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 1: up two touchdowns per game to quarterbacks. I think it's

725
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: a nice, nice matchup for Palmer, uh at the in

726
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:47,280
Speaker 1: the running game. Yeah, what about Adrian Peterson? Yeah, Adrian Peterson,

727
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 1: I'm I'm kind of in waiting sea mode. I did

728
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 1: give him a C grade. But if he slots right

729
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 1: into that ten to fifteen touches that Chris Johnson has,

730
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: uh that the volume might get him there. The Bucks

731
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: have only allowed one rushing touchdown, but he I get

732
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:04,280
Speaker 1: enough volume. As far as Ellington, they're they're Ellington's getting

733
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: ten targets in over seventy yards per game over the

734
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: last three weeks. It's it's hard to BENJ might give

735
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 1: him a B grade just on that safe PPR floor,

736
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:14,440
Speaker 1: and Allington's usage won't change with Adrian Peterson. It's like

737
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: Peterson's into his receptions. No way. Peterson the receiving back

738
00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 1: nah and and the Buxer bottom seven in receiving yards

739
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: allowed to running back. So that's prime for Ellington. I'm

740
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:28,360
Speaker 1: benching everyone else. Sounds good. Let's let's try to squeeze

741
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: in one more matchup into this segment, and that is

742
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Chargers at the Oakland Raiders. Bryan. The

743
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,920
Speaker 1: Los Angeles the Chargers passing attack is always really difficult

744
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,760
Speaker 1: to figure out. With the exception of one guy, Keenan Allen,

745
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:44,879
Speaker 1: seems to always get his targets. How do you feel

746
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: about Keenan Allen in this matchup? Yeah? I give Keenan

747
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: Allen in a he will see a slot corner t J. Carey,

748
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: who Pro Football Focus has ranked nineties six out of

749
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifteen cornerbacks. So yeah, and two of

750
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 1: the last three slot receivers to face Oakland have caught

751
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 1: at least six passes, So that's probably safe floor for

752
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen. He's caught six passes in a quarter before,

753
00:38:03,440 --> 00:38:06,080
Speaker 1: so he gets the eight grade. I'm giving Tyrell Williams

754
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 1: and Travis Benjamin to see here. Even though Mike Williams

755
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,719
Speaker 1: is likely to make his pro debut, Williams is on

756
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: the bench for me. I gotta see him do something

757
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:16,120
Speaker 1: before he is startable in fantasy. But um, as for

758
00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,839
Speaker 1: Williams and Benjamin, Oakland's outside cornerbacks Shawn Smith and David

759
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 1: Amerson have not been too good this year. Both both

760
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,799
Speaker 1: have allowed a pass the rating about hundred and forty

761
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: plus in their coverage hundred plus both individually over a

762
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: hundred and four. They've allowed to combine four touchdowns as well,

763
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 1: So I like Williams and Benjamin this game. Benjamin caught

764
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: a touchdown in one game and top two hundred yards

765
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: in the other against Oakland last year, so I'll give

766
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: him both the start. And that certainly makes Philip Rivers startable.

767
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,760
Speaker 1: Uh he gets to be Uh. He totaled six touchdowns

768
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: against the Raiders last year, who are allowing a completion

769
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 1: percentage of sixty nine this season. And Rivers just put

770
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 1: up a hat trick on the road against the Vontageiant secondary.

771
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 1: So he's in play here. I should have mentioned Hunter

772
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: Henry first. He gets to be as well. Uh, he

773
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: was actually utilized again last week in games where he's

774
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: actually been targeted this year. Yeah, which is three or

775
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:09,880
Speaker 1: five or three of them. Yes, he's been great in

776
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: those three games. Yeah, he's scored or top to eight

777
00:39:12,239 --> 00:39:14,439
Speaker 1: yrs in those games at least throwing the ball once

778
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 1: and something good is gonna happen. So he gets to

779
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 1: be I'm putting Gates on the bench. He finally has

780
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 1: what he needs to get into the Hall of Fame

781
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: now he but who knows watch Gates came score three touch.

782
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think that Henry is the

783
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 1: guy you want to start. I think Gates at this

784
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: point is injury backup guy to Hunter Henry. Yeah, I'm

785
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:35,360
Speaker 1: with you, but uh, you never know what old man value.

786
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,200
Speaker 1: What tricks he can is up as sleeve. But anyway, lastly,

787
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: for the Chargers, Melvin Gordon gets to He looked awesome

788
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,919
Speaker 1: last week. The Raiders just allowed hundred and twelve yards

789
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,840
Speaker 1: to C. J. Anderson and one to Jaboris Alan. Gordon

790
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: can certainly put up those numbers. Um over to Oakland

791
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: Side Derek Carr is making his return from a broken back, yes,

792
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 1: broken and by the way, two weeks early, which I

793
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: don't like, to be honest, not that I wanted to

794
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: see more of EJ. Manual, but I'm nervous about him

795
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: getting with this game. Yeah I need to. I'll give

796
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:05,799
Speaker 1: him a c No, I'm gonna put him on the bench.

797
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: Screw it. He's on the bench. Chargers are allowing just

798
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,240
Speaker 1: like two yards and one and a half passing touchdowns,

799
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: pretty game to quarterbacks. That's probably cars ceiling in this

800
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:14,880
Speaker 1: game where I said I'd like the running backs that

801
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 1: you leaned on heavily here. So he's on the bench

802
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 1: for me, and Amari Cooper is not on the bench,

803
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:21,720
Speaker 1: but he's pretty damn close. I'm giving him to see.

804
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 1: Here's his yardage output in the last three games, six

805
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: nine eight. That's unbelievable from Mary Cooper yet never I

806
00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 1: never thought that would happen, and even one game, let

807
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 1: alone three straight single digit yardage games for a coups.

808
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: So if you're a Mary Cooper owner, grab a coin

809
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: and flip it, because here are his four career box

810
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,799
Speaker 1: scores against the Chargers five for one, thirty three and one.

811
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,000
Speaker 1: Then two for ten, then six for one, thirty eight

812
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: and one, and then one for twenty eight. So if

813
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 1: science tells us anything that he's had a game here

814
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,399
Speaker 1: based on that that that pattern, But anyway he gets

815
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,839
Speaker 1: to see until he starts showing you can catch the ball,

816
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 1: I will give him. Michael Crabtree and a though return

817
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: to action last week top to eight ds and scored.

818
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:02,839
Speaker 1: He scored in all four meetings with the Chargers, who

819
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,400
Speaker 1: have allowed the second most wide receiver touchdowns, and at

820
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 1: least one wide receiver has scored in all five of

821
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,919
Speaker 1: the l a's games. Jared Cook is on the bench.

822
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,359
Speaker 1: I'm close to giving him a C grade because tight

823
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: end is such a waste land. Uh Cook, We've given

824
00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 1: you like three or four guys already that you can

825
00:41:17,200 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 1: take a chance on. Too many, too many tight ends already,

826
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 1: and the Chargers are bottom five and targets allowed to

827
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:23,919
Speaker 1: tight end. So not a great opportunity for Cook here.

828
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: Marshawn Lynch show, I will give him a b uh

829
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 1: your boy charge. The Chargers are allowing five and a

830
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 1: half yards per carry and have allowed hundred and five

831
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 1: more rushing yards than the next closest team so far

832
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 1: this year, so Lynch gets a beach. It's we urge people,

833
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 1: at least I did two weeks ago to go buy

834
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: low on Lynch, and I think we're gonna be paid

835
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,200
Speaker 1: off last week. It's gonna pay off this week. I

836
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,000
Speaker 1: think he will as well. And I also think jay

837
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: Len Shard will. That's why he used might take a

838
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 1: chance on me running back. We're gonna work in one

839
00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:56,600
Speaker 1: call here, Ben, Hello, Hell, hi Ben? What's up? How's

840
00:41:56,600 --> 00:42:00,720
Speaker 1: it going with again? Good? Thank you, excellent? Thankfull? Um.

841
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 1: I got a question. I made a bonehead trade. Um.

842
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 1: Do you guys like uh Kamara more than Abdullah? Yeah? Okay.

843
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,240
Speaker 1: The problem with the dula is, you know, Abdulah doesn't

844
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:15,839
Speaker 1: get any receptions, that's theoretic. He doesn't get any goal

845
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 1: line work. That's Zack center in the rare answers is

846
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 1: that they even run inside the five. So he's just

847
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,280
Speaker 1: the yardish guy between the twenties and that just doesn't

848
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 1: move the needle much. The second leg of that is

849
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 1: I had to trade Matt Ryan and Abdullah to get

850
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: Kamara and Treke Cohen. So I'm cool with that, right,

851
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 1: I like it? I like it? Now? Should I know?

852
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: Do I drop Treke Cohen and pick up Alex Collins

853
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:44,960
Speaker 1: or um Foreman from Houston. I'd probably go with Alex

854
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 1: Cohn's on that I I don't know Cohen's. Cohen's snap

855
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 1: percentage keeps going down and Alex cons keeps going up.

856
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: I think it's it's only a matter of time Cohen.

857
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: Alex CON's is the most explosive back for the Ravens.

858
00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 1: I'd probably I'd probably go after Alex Collins. All right,

859
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,600
Speaker 1: if I speak quickly, can I can I ask one more?

860
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 1: You get too? Because it is not lightning round? Yes, yeah,

861
00:43:06,560 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 1: sorry uge Um, Mike Evans. You guys are just talking

862
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 1: about possibly he's a b in my PPR league. I'm

863
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: gonna run him off. I got Crabtree, U, Tate, Davante Adams,

864
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: Kevin Coleman, and Buck Allen. You may not be a

865
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,760
Speaker 1: starter in that scenario. I'd start him over Buck Allen,

866
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: but that's it. I think I like all the other

867
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: receivers better. All right, guys, you're the best. I'm trying

868
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: to throw while you guys out there for in ups

869
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: and get more and more listeners out here. Thank you,

870
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 1: I love you guys. Take care, appreciate it Ben, It's

871
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: just in Milwaukee at the Pops Theater. Man is that beautiful?

872
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 1: Holy cow, what a venue that was terrific. When we

873
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,280
Speaker 1: come back, five tough questions for a panel of experts,

874
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 1: you can play along, So if you can go five

875
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: and oh. When we return to Fantasy Football Weekly on

876
00:43:51,200 --> 00:44:09,280
Speaker 1: the Fans of Fantasy Football Weekly on the Fan, Welcome

877
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 1: back Fantasy Football Weekly, Hour number two. My co host today,

878
00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 1: Scott Fish is inaugural show. Brian Johnson, Welcome back. See

879
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 1: here's the deal, Scott. No, she's not listening. Mike is

880
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 1: not on. That's part of it. That's part of becoming

881
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:30,600
Speaker 1: a savvy radio. You know, you can do a million podcast,

882
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: but the podcast you just turn on the record. But

883
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: then you don't have to worry about it. Again, it's

884
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:37,600
Speaker 1: a little trick here here. You could even you know,

885
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: if you turn your mic on and you'll talk right

886
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: through the commercials or whatever. I want to say. Yeah,

887
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 1: I just said my wife is listening, so we get

888
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 1: one extra listener this week. She doesn't. She doesn't listen

889
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: every week. Question number one. Absolutely, to this point, he

890
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 1: hasn't scored a single touchdown and he's averaging just three

891
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:00,960
Speaker 1: yards per carry. But from this point, four reward will

892
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:04,880
Speaker 1: Cardinals running back Adrian Peterson being RB one, r B

893
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:10,839
Speaker 1: two flex or bench scott flex. Uh. I think he's

894
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 1: gonna get that ten of fifteen touches per game, but

895
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna get much more. That offensive

896
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: line is just terrible, just terrible, and he doesn't contribute

897
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 1: in the passing game. I think the offense is gonna

898
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: run about how it ran with Chris Johnson. Maybe Adrian

899
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: Peterson's a little better, but I think he's purely in

900
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 1: flex mode. Brian, Yeah, I think I'm gonna put him

901
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:37,240
Speaker 1: on the bench. I don't like Peterson for many many reasons.

902
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: He's not catching any passes. We know that. I think

903
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 1: Edward Scissor Hans has a better chance to catch and

904
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 1: passes out of that backfield. And here's some things a

905
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: d hasn't done since the season, Uh, score a touchdown,

906
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: get twenty carries, top thirty three rushing yards, and I

907
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,399
Speaker 1: don't like his chance of doing any of those things

908
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 1: behind the Arizona line, and is ranked thirty and none

909
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: blocking by Football outside their schedule through Week fourteen. When

910
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 1: I think David Johnson comes back at the very latest

911
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:08,040
Speaker 1: is not that great. You have the Rams on there twice,

912
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:12,399
Speaker 1: you have a by Tampa Bay, Seattle, Houston, Tennessee. There's

913
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: only two soft matchups between now and week fourteen. So

914
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm putting Peterson on the bench on my team. The

915
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,320
Speaker 1: correct answer is flex because the opportunity is so good

916
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,400
Speaker 1: for him. He there will be opportunities. He will get

917
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,840
Speaker 1: almost all the carries. He is better than the undead

918
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:30,720
Speaker 1: corpse of the tap dancing Nancy Chris Johnson. Carson Palmer

919
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: plays almost sixty of his snaps under center, and that's

920
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 1: critical for Adrian as well. We don't know how good

921
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 1: or bad he really is because we've seen so little

922
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 1: of him. We know he's not elite Adrian Peterson, but

923
00:46:43,520 --> 00:46:47,320
Speaker 1: in all probability, he's a step up from Chris Johnson.

924
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:49,839
Speaker 1: And I see the schedule differently than you. I see

925
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 1: only one top five run defense the rest of the way,

926
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,359
Speaker 1: and that's not from the ten weeks, so I think

927
00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,840
Speaker 1: there will be some schedule opportunities. The bad news Arizona

928
00:46:57,880 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 1: calls the fewest running places in the NFL, and so

929
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,160
Speaker 1: it will not be a volume opportunity for him. It's

930
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 1: gonna be goal line stuff and Kenny turn fifteen carries

931
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 1: into something meaningful of a flex spot. The answer is

932
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:18,360
Speaker 1: sometimes yeah. Question number two. To this point, he hasn't

933
00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 1: scored a single touchdown and he's averaging just three yards

934
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:25,760
Speaker 1: per carry. But from this point forward, will Bills running

935
00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:29,320
Speaker 1: back Lashawn McCoy be an RB one in RB two

936
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 1: a flex or a bench Brian Well. In the preseason,

937
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:35,840
Speaker 1: McCoy was one of the guys I dubbed as a

938
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 1: wanna bell I wanna bell cow because he didn't get

939
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 1: the red zone opportunities that you like to see. But

940
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 1: he's actually getting those. Uh, that's the vulture. That's the

941
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 1: sound of Mike Tolbert, Mike Holibart. That's right, nicely done.

942
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 1: But Shady is fifth and carries from inside the ten

943
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,919
Speaker 1: yard line. He's third in red zone targets among running backs,

944
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 1: so he's actually getting the opportunities that have evaded him

945
00:47:58,239 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 1: in the past. Um He's also has the second highest

946
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 1: target percentage among running backs. He's getting of the Bill's targets,

947
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: which is a higher higher ratio than wide receivers like

948
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:12,279
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, Larry Fitzgerald, Pierre Garson, Golden Tate, alshon Jeffrey,

949
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:14,280
Speaker 1: So he's getting a ton of touches, a lot of opportunity.

950
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep him at the RB one level. I

951
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 1: do like his schedule moving forward. He as Tampa Bay,

952
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 1: Oakland at New York Jets, New Orleans at the Chargers.

953
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:25,799
Speaker 1: Those are five plus matchups in a row. So I'm

954
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,839
Speaker 1: going RB one with Shady, all right, I'm going RB two.

955
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,399
Speaker 1: I like a lot of what Brian just said, but

956
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: I coming in this season, I didn't love Shady because

957
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:36,160
Speaker 1: I don't like running backs once they hit that eighteen

958
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:38,799
Speaker 1: hundred yard marker. We just talked about Adrian Peterson when

959
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 1: he hit the excuse me that eighteen hundred carry marker

960
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:44,799
Speaker 1: in the last seventeen years. In the last seventeen years,

961
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 1: only a couple of backs have been really productive after

962
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 1: eighteen hundred carries, and let's shaw mccoin hit at the

963
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: start of the season. So I don't love him as

964
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:57,359
Speaker 1: an RB one going forward. I like him as an

965
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: r B two. I think he's going to be a

966
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 1: pretty consistent RB two based on his based on his touches.

967
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:05,879
Speaker 1: But man, there are a lot of backs I like better.

968
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes the correct answer is RB one and Brian uh

969
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 1: I took many of my talking points. I'll only mentioned

970
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:13,280
Speaker 1: a couple of other things. Whole new offense from Buffalo,

971
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 1: It's not uncommon for that to take a month two

972
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:17,360
Speaker 1: months to really settle in. So I think there's a

973
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:20,320
Speaker 1: reason to think they get better. And the Bill's defense

974
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:22,799
Speaker 1: is really good, so the team is never like an

975
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 1: abandon the run mode because they're down by twenty one

976
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:29,919
Speaker 1: points at half. So then I believe that McCoy will

977
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 1: bounce back for all the reasons that Brian elucid elucidated.

978
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 1: And by the way, there are some desperate McCoy owners

979
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 1: out there who have languished with him right now are

980
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,799
Speaker 1: probably sitting at zero one two wins, and they're looking

981
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 1: at a bye week right now for McCoy. If you've

982
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 1: got a strong team that can afford to maybe take

983
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 1: a loss this week because you've just acquired McCoy, man

984
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 1: go after him. What a great opportunity to buy low

985
00:49:55,080 --> 00:50:01,399
Speaker 1: on McCoy. Davanny's hot question number three, Ezekiel Elliott will

986
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:07,360
Speaker 1: miss zero games, six games or something in between. Scott,

987
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with zero games. That we've seen it

988
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 1: with the star Caps, we've seen it with Tom Brady.

989
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:14,160
Speaker 1: I just I just have a feeling this is gonna

990
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:16,359
Speaker 1: get hung up in courts. I think that they will

991
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 1: file another injunction. I'm not sure if he gets it.

992
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 1: I think it's a fifty fifty coin flip, but uh,

993
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 1: lawyers are sneaky, and so I'm gonna go with zero games.

994
00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be able to push it off. Uh. Yeah,

995
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 1: it's kind of a coin flip between zero and the six.

996
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,400
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna say it's gonna fall somewhere in between.

997
00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: If you know he can get to cut to three

998
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 1: to four games, I think you should just take his

999
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 1: medicine and accept that suspension and move on with it. Uh.

1000
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 1: I hope he gets six, just because I don't like

1001
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 1: him as a person as a person and don't have

1002
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:50,719
Speaker 1: him money in my fantasy team, So I say six.

1003
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 1: So maybe you're gonna go six? Yes, Um, most probable

1004
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,800
Speaker 1: outcome is that you will get zero for the reasons

1005
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: that Scott mentioned. Preliminary injunction will likely be granted because

1006
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 1: Zeke's case seems to have a lot of merit. Remember

1007
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,920
Speaker 1: the Texas Court. People are confusing why the Texas Court

1008
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 1: rolled this thing back. It wasn't because the case didn't

1009
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:12,440
Speaker 1: have merit. It's because they said, we're not the right

1010
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:15,279
Speaker 1: jurisdiction and the right jurisdictions new York, so go to

1011
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 1: New York court. So now they're just gonna repeat the

1012
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:20,880
Speaker 1: same process in New York. And among other things, the

1013
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 1: NFL didn't listen to the advice of their own lead investigator.

1014
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 1: And that's going to be I think that that and

1015
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 1: we don't know all the details of what of what

1016
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 1: they're suggesting, but that's that by itself suggests that this

1017
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 1: case will have some merit and that a court will

1018
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 1: look at it and go, yes, we'll grant you a

1019
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 1: preliminary injunction so we can figure out if we want

1020
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 1: to uh, we want to hear a full case on this.

1021
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:47,719
Speaker 1: The most probable outcome is zero games. Devanny's hot question

1022
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:51,760
Speaker 1: number four with the development of Aaron Jones, how nervous

1023
00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 1: should time Montgomery owners be a totally chill, be mild

1024
00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 1: intestinal cramping or see Harvey Weinstein wants to have a

1025
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:08,880
Speaker 1: private meeting in his office. Level of nervousness, Brian I

1026
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 1: might go d and he wants to have a meeting

1027
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: with Bill Cosby in his office, a project that they

1028
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:17,799
Speaker 1: want to work on with you. Uh yeah, I'm very

1029
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 1: worried if I'm a Time Montgomery owner. I've kind of

1030
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,400
Speaker 1: expressed this throughout the preseason. I just don't think Montgomery,

1031
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 1: Uh well, he doesn't have the track record of a

1032
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:28,279
Speaker 1: proven running back you can handle twenty carries a game,

1033
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 1: and he's already been knocked out in the first quarter

1034
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:34,480
Speaker 1: of the season. So I'd be very nervous if I'm

1035
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:36,680
Speaker 1: the Time Montgommery owner and he has struggled mightily on

1036
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:38,840
Speaker 1: the ground. He has he does have the highest percentage

1037
00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 1: of carries against an extra defender in the box. That's

1038
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:44,439
Speaker 1: from the running back scout who I mentioned last week.

1039
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 1: So he's not like he's a bad running back. But

1040
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:48,399
Speaker 1: I just think Green Bay needs a more traditional back,

1041
00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 1: especially near the goal line. So I am I'm taking

1042
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:53,640
Speaker 1: see you're taking the Harvey Weinstein progress. Okay, I'm just

1043
00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 1: taking mild discomfort because I think even though Time Montgomery

1044
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 1: is still hurt a little bit, when he does come back,

1045
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,840
Speaker 1: and it might be soon, he's still gonna get the

1046
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:04,759
Speaker 1: points in the passing game, and I think he's still

1047
00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 1: got a role there even if he gets half Wally

1048
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:09,800
Speaker 1: pipped by Aaron Jones. Aaron Jones is the guy I

1049
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 1: liked in Dynasty coming into the season. I didn't really

1050
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:14,960
Speaker 1: expect this to happen so quick, but Aaron Jones is

1051
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 1: a really good back, and I can see that being

1052
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:19,400
Speaker 1: a timeshare. Aaron Jones is a really good back. He

1053
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 1: looks like a better fit in this offense. He runs harder,

1054
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:25,799
Speaker 1: He's bigger than than Time Montgomery is. That's ed the

1055
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 1: probable outcome here is that Time Montgomery shifts into a

1056
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: timeshare change of pace back and he could do a

1057
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:33,839
Speaker 1: lot of what Christian McCaffrey is doing for Carolina. Five

1058
00:53:33,920 --> 00:53:36,840
Speaker 1: or six rushes, five or six receptions a game. You know,

1059
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 1: he finishes with seventy yards and a lot of games

1060
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 1: and that's not the end of the world, So only

1061
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:48,800
Speaker 1: mild intestinal cramping. Hot question number five. I hope somewhere

1062
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 1: somebody turned on the radio just for the end of that.

1063
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 1: Should fantasy owners drop every last giant Scott Sure? I

1064
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,359
Speaker 1: was thinking that Evan Ingram might be the guy want

1065
00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 1: before last week. He he had four catches in forty

1066
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:07,560
Speaker 1: yards in every single game. I really really like Evan Ingram,

1067
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 1: and right now he might end up being their wide

1068
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 1: receiver one even though he's a tight end, right, But

1069
00:54:12,920 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 1: there are so many tight end options out there on

1070
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:20,360
Speaker 1: a weekly basis that I just just random flex play,

1071
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 1: kind of just match up plays that I don't know

1072
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:25,319
Speaker 1: that you need to roster Ingram. He might be the

1073
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:29,280
Speaker 1: only guy, but let's just go with none. Drop them all, Okay, Brian,

1074
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: it hits home, not really, but I'm not dropping Stirling

1075
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 1: Shepherd Evan Ingram just yet. I see both getting at

1076
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,360
Speaker 1: least eight targets per game, and that's that's volume that

1077
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:42,800
Speaker 1: you need to roster. And starting in week ten, you

1078
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 1: know you don't have to go through a few rough

1079
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 1: patches here, but we we we can go. Heading into

1080
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 1: the Fantasy playoffs, you have at San Francisco, Kansas City,

1081
00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 1: then at Washington, at Oakland and Dallas. Those are plus matchups.

1082
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:59,800
Speaker 1: Are both players outside of Kansas City, uh, most likely?

1083
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 1: And the good stretch continues into week fifteen and sixteen.

1084
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 1: For Shepherd, he has Philly, who has been brutal against

1085
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:08,479
Speaker 1: wide receivers in Arizona, who has struggled mightily against slot

1086
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 1: wide receivers. So I think both are rosterable at the

1087
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:13,879
Speaker 1: very least maybe not startable every week, but don't drop

1088
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 1: him just yet? Is that or is that not factory?

1089
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 1: And Eli Manning getting traded to the Jaguars at this point,

1090
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:23,799
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's auditioned by a subtraction, to

1091
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:26,319
Speaker 1: be honest with you, but no, not factoring that yet,

1092
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:28,920
Speaker 1: I'd be opened those talks bring the board of potty

1093
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 1: to Jersey. The correct answer is dropped all of your giants.

1094
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 1: And it's because of the schedule that you blew by,

1095
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:37,240
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, sure in week ten. In the meantime,

1096
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 1: I got a bye week. I can't. I got bye

1097
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,879
Speaker 1: weeks for the next four weeks. I at Denver this week.

1098
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:44,839
Speaker 1: You can't play anybody Seattle the next week, can't play

1099
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 1: anybody bye week. You can't play Shepherd against Seattle and Ingram.

1100
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I wouldn't. That's where you tag

1101
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 1: him maybe through the middle, I don't know, But you're

1102
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:56,400
Speaker 1: you're even assuming that Shepherd stays in the slot. We

1103
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:57,840
Speaker 1: don't know that that's gonna be the case. They might

1104
00:55:57,880 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 1: kick him outside as the best receiver. Who knows. Either way,

1105
00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:03,839
Speaker 1: You're not gonna feel comfortable. So starting in these guys

1106
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:06,960
Speaker 1: for a month. I can't hold. I can't advocate holding

1107
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:09,839
Speaker 1: guys with zero getting get that you can't. You don't

1108
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:11,920
Speaker 1: feel like starting for one month in the middle of

1109
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 1: these bye weeks. So yeah, schedule might clear up later,

1110
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:17,360
Speaker 1: but somebody's gonna be dropping those guys between now and then. Anyway,

1111
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:23,400
Speaker 1: I really nailed those questions. You did get four out

1112
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:25,279
Speaker 1: of five. I think one high score of all time

1113
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:28,400
Speaker 1: six out of five. John Tube, Uh, let's work in

1114
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:31,360
Speaker 1: one matchup into this segment, and it's the San Francisco

1115
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:36,120
Speaker 1: forty Niners at Washington and already gave you. Brian Hoyers.

1116
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:38,440
Speaker 1: Might take a chance on the quarterback. I like Pierre

1117
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:42,440
Speaker 1: Garson a lot too, is I'm I'm curious. Is there

1118
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 1: an angle for Pierre Garsona in a matchup with Washington.

1119
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:48,399
Speaker 1: Can't think of one. He faces his former team without

1120
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 1: star corner Josh Norman, who's gonna be sidelined with a

1121
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:53,680
Speaker 1: rib injury. Garzon hasn't scored yet, but everything else has

1122
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 1: been great. He's getting targeted ten over ten times in

1123
00:56:56,880 --> 00:57:00,279
Speaker 1: each game. He's uh, he's on a fantastic hey from

1124
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:03,399
Speaker 1: a yard of standpoint with Norman, the Redskins have been

1125
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:06,160
Speaker 1: a have been very good against wide receivers, but most

1126
00:57:06,200 --> 00:57:09,400
Speaker 1: of that's because Normans their key guy Viking fans listening

1127
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:11,439
Speaker 1: here locally, I mean, imagine if you take Xavier Rhodes

1128
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:14,239
Speaker 1: out of this secondary, what happens? Everything changes? So I

1129
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:18,680
Speaker 1: still like pere Garsona to B level. Marquis Goodwin is

1130
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:22,600
Speaker 1: a deep sleeper. Non number one receivers have outproduced the

1131
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 1: number one wide receivers going up against Washington, and Goodwin's

1132
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 1: coming off a gigantic game last week a target at

1133
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: eleven times, So deep sleeper Marquis Goodwin. George Kittle will

1134
00:57:33,360 --> 00:57:36,439
Speaker 1: be your fifth tight end deep sleeper that you could

1135
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 1: pick up this week. Now, I went Barker's last week,

1136
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: and we're not chasing last week's box score. Though Washington

1137
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 1: is a lot at least ninety five yards or scored

1138
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 1: every starting tight end they have faced. That's Zach Ertz

1139
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 1: and Travis Kelsey would you expect, but also Gerald Everett

1140
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 1: and Jared Cook. If those guys can hammer the Washington

1141
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 1: secondary from the tight end position, why not George Kittle.

1142
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 1: Carlos Hide gets a C grade here. He's got three

1143
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 1: different problems working against him. He's got a hip injury.

1144
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:08,680
Speaker 1: Which isn't healed, Matt Rita's roles increasing. And lastly, the

1145
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: Washington run defense is elite, giving up just sixties six

1146
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 1: rushing yards per game. Only one opposing runner has scored.

1147
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 1: Now I could have a little more success of the air.

1148
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:19,360
Speaker 1: The Redskins are giving a forty six yards through the air.

1149
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 1: So maybe together you can chip together a a decent game.

1150
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 1: And that's why he does get a starting grade. For me,

1151
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 1: we'll keep Matt Brita on the bench flipping over the

1152
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 1: Washington side. This entire Washington matchup is basically ghost comes

1153
00:58:31,400 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 1: down to this man. That guy has been a bust,

1154
00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 1: but I gotta start him one more time because of

1155
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 1: this matchup. That's your reoccurring theme for this one. Let's start,

1156
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 1: and most of its relates to the passing game. Kirk

1157
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 1: Cousins gets a B because San Francisco owns a bottom

1158
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 1: ten ranking against opposing quarterbacks in all of these categories

1159
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:51,360
Speaker 1: pass attempts, past completions, and passing yards allowed. They've only

1160
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:53,920
Speaker 1: given up three passing touchdowns. But that feels flukey to me,

1161
00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 1: and I think the touchdowns are coming. Terrell Prior. It's

1162
00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:01,200
Speaker 1: another in a series of seemingly juicy matchups for Terrelle Pryor.

1163
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 1: Hopefully he will do better than what we've seen so

1164
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 1: far Since Week two. Prior owns painful averages of just

1165
00:59:07,160 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 1: two catches, forty yards and a third of a touchdown

1166
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 1: per game, but San Francisco bottom twelve rankings against opposing

1167
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:16,480
Speaker 1: receivers and targets, receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns allowed,

1168
00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:20,160
Speaker 1: so we like Prior. Jamison Crowder has been invisible, but

1169
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:23,440
Speaker 1: John Gruden. J Gruden vows to get him more involved,

1170
00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:26,480
Speaker 1: and it should start this week since face arguably the

1171
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 1: worst slack corner in the league wa Kawan Williams, Kwan

1172
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:33,920
Speaker 1: Williams at Kwan Kwan Williams. There's plenty of danger here

1173
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:37,520
Speaker 1: though in his last game, Crowder faced the other slock

1174
00:59:37,560 --> 00:59:40,439
Speaker 1: cornerback who's in the conversation for the worst, Philip Gaines

1175
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 1: and Crowder put up negative seven yards last week and

1176
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:45,240
Speaker 1: a juicy matchups. So I've still got a C grade

1177
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 1: on Crowder because it feels like it ought all work out.

1178
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:51,440
Speaker 1: Let's go to the running game. Chris Thompson, I love him.

1179
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:54,120
Speaker 1: This week he draws the defense that currently owns bottom

1180
00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 1: five rankings in targets, receptions, and receiving yards and receiving

1181
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:01,960
Speaker 1: touchdowns to opposing tailbacks. So Thompson should be good through

1182
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 1: the air. Really almost a dream dream opportunity for him,

1183
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 1: especially with Rob Kelly almost certainly not suiting up here.

1184
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 1: Last week, utility back Marlon Mack carved up the Niners.

1185
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 1: This week, Chris Thompson utility back Somaj p Ryan should

1186
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 1: get all the start here with Rob Kelly expected to

1187
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:21,760
Speaker 1: miss the game. Um, but we've got a long look

1188
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:23,840
Speaker 1: at at p Ryan because Kelly's been in on the lineup,

1189
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:26,959
Speaker 1: He's logged forty six carries. He's turned those into three

1190
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 1: point one yards per carry. That's it. Niners run defense

1191
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:32,400
Speaker 1: is actually pretty good, dramatically improved from last year, giving

1192
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:34,040
Speaker 1: up just three point nine yards per Carys. So I've

1193
01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 1: got per Ran on the bench. When we come back,

1194
01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 1: the Los Angeles Rams taken on the Jacksonville Jaguars. It's

1195
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 1: an elite running matchup for both of these teams. Will

1196
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:46,880
Speaker 1: tell you who we like more between Girly and Leonard

1197
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:50,520
Speaker 1: four Nette. When we come back your distinct of Fantasy

1198

Speaker 1: Football Weekly on the fan, Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly.

1199
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:09,520
Speaker 1: Scott Fish, Mike onto this time? My god. Nice see

1200
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 1: your trainable there. It is inaugural show for Scott Fish.

1201
01:01:13,480 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 1: You can send him some love on Twitter. Let him

1202
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:17,680
Speaker 1: know how he's doing at Scott Fish twenty four? Why

1203
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:20,800
Speaker 1: the twenty four Big Kendriff junior fan? Growing up? All right,

1204

Speaker 1: did you like the video game? I did? Yeah? S

1205
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:27,080
Speaker 1: any s video game? What about the TV show? You

1206
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:29,840
Speaker 1: had a TV show? TV show? No, but there was

1207
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:37,080
Speaker 1: one TV show the absolutely yeah, um yeah, the booze

1208
01:01:37,120 --> 01:01:39,560
Speaker 1: hanging out and bring on the booze. Let's let's talk

1209
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:43,760
Speaker 1: to Rams and Jacksonville. It's two elite running backs against

1210
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:47,560
Speaker 1: two really bad run defenses. Is this as straightforward as

1211
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:50,280
Speaker 1: it looks? It really is? Todd Gurley's in a start

1212
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 1: over the first four weeks of the season, the Jaguars.

1213
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 1: Jaguars were stomped for a hundred forty nine rushing yards

1214
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 1: per game. Uh, they're allowing the second most rushing yards

1215
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:02,560
Speaker 1: per game. Levian Bell didn't crush him last week, but

1216
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:05,959
Speaker 1: he did get But they didn't take the ball. They kept.

1217
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 1: They asked, They asked Ben Roethlis We're gonna throw fifty

1218
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:10,919
Speaker 1: five times in the game, exactly there was just poor

1219
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 1: game plan. Fifteen carries for Levian Bell. I think that

1220
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:17,840
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh is gonna learn from Tomlin's mistake and run

1221
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:20,080
Speaker 1: Todd Gurley down their throat. Last week was the only

1222
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:22,280
Speaker 1: week Gurley didn't get ninety five yards. I think he

1223
01:02:22,280 --> 01:02:25,520
Speaker 1: gets back on track this week. I'm benching everyone else

1224
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 1: in this game. I just m the entire passing game plays.

1225
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:33,440
Speaker 1: The top four Jags defense that leads the NFL in sacks, interceptions,

1226
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 1: defensive touchdowns and even second informal recoveries. They're They're only

1227
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 1: allowing a hundred passing yards per game. Watkins and Woods

1228
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 1: gets a j. Boyer and Jalen Ramsey, two of the

1229
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:46,200
Speaker 1: best cornerbacks in the league. And even if you think

1230
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:48,720
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup is a sneaky play, slot receivers are only

1231
01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 1: averaging twenty seven yards per game against them. So, uh,

1232
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:55,360
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown the only receiver to top six yards bench

1233
01:02:55,560 --> 01:02:58,480
Speaker 1: every one of the everybody else for the Rams? Really,

1234
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 1: all right, let's go to the Jag side. Obviously only

1235
01:03:03,880 --> 01:03:06,680
Speaker 1: only player with a touchdown in every game this week

1236
01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 1: so far. Yep, and the Rams are kind of on

1237
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:14,200
Speaker 1: that same boat. They've allowed seven touchdowns over over the

1238
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:17,920
Speaker 1: course of the season and a hundred sixty six rushing

1239
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:21,760
Speaker 1: yards per hundred sixty six yards per game to running backs.

1240
01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:24,280
Speaker 1: This is just such a great matchup for four NET

1241
01:03:25,240 --> 01:03:28,000
Speaker 1: the Jet. The Rams did hold down the mess that

1242
01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 1: they called the Seattle backfield last week, but six different

1243
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 1: running backs before that either got seventy five yards or

1244
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 1: a touchdown for NET should have no trouble doing both.

1245
01:03:36,880 --> 01:03:39,240
Speaker 1: Chris Ivory was my take a chance on me kind

1246
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 1: of a dart throw see start. You know, just you know,

1247
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 1: if you have some injuries or buys otherwise I'm benching

1248
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:48,320
Speaker 1: everyone else. Blake Boardles attempting twenty seven passes per game,

1249
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 1: throwing for less than a hundred and fifty yards three times,

1250
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:53,800
Speaker 1: and it doesn't have a multi touchdown game. It's just

1251
01:03:53,920 --> 01:03:56,720
Speaker 1: they have had a different wide receiver target leader each

1252
01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:58,640
Speaker 1: of the last three games. It's a hard pass for

1253
01:03:58,680 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 1: everybody else. Pittsburgh takes on Kansas City and uh, we've

1254
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 1: got got an A grade and Antonio Brown it's always

1255
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:07,560
Speaker 1: an a start. Uh. I will note that he only

1256
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:10,200
Speaker 1: runs thirty percent of his plays from the right side

1257
01:04:10,240 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 1: of the field, where star quarterback Marcus Peters play, so

1258
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:16,120
Speaker 1: that means the corresponding sixty six percent of the plays

1259
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:18,640
Speaker 1: are not on Marcus Peters, and the Chiefs have allowed

1260
01:04:18,680 --> 01:04:22,000
Speaker 1: the most touchdowns to opposing receivers, So Antonio Brown gets

1261
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:26,640
Speaker 1: an A. That means conversely, Martavis Bryant is going to

1262
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:28,960
Speaker 1: be on the Marcus Peters side more often than not,

1263
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 1: and so that means he's on the bench and he's

1264
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 1: been brutal this year. Anyway, ju Juice Smith Schuster, the

1265
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 1: other receiver from the slot, was might take a chance

1266
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:41,280
Speaker 1: on me wide out this week. Ben Roethlisberger through all

1267
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:43,000
Speaker 1: of that comes out as a B. Here. There's a

1268
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:46,720
Speaker 1: ton of intangibles in play. Will Ben Roethlisberger bounce back

1269
01:04:46,760 --> 01:04:49,960
Speaker 1: from the self doubt that he vocalized after last week's

1270
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 1: five interception game? He has a chance. Chiefs, of the

1271
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:55,840
Speaker 1: twenty fifth ranked past defense that've given up nine passing

1272
01:04:55,840 --> 01:05:00,120
Speaker 1: touchdowns on the season since Week four, opposing quarterback have

1273
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:04,440
Speaker 1: enjoyed a cumulative touchdown to interception Rachel ratio of seven

1274
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:08,040
Speaker 1: to zero UM. But then again, it's been on the road,

1275
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:10,480
Speaker 1: where over the last three years he's averaging one touchdown

1276
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:12,960
Speaker 1: pass over the last half season of road games under

1277
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 1: one touchdown pass per game, so plenty of possibilities here

1278
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:20,480
Speaker 1: for Ben Roethlisberger, a wide variety of potential outcomes and

1279
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:23,600
Speaker 1: Levy on Bell normally I just go he's an A

1280
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:27,520
Speaker 1: and forget about it. But this is a tricky matchup now.

1281
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 1: He housed Kansas City last week in the two meetings,

1282
01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 1: last year in the two meetings. But this year, the

1283
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:35,640
Speaker 1: Chiefs haven't allowed it back to reach a d yards rushing.

1284
01:05:35,920 --> 01:05:38,480
Speaker 1: They've given up just one rushing touchdown since Week one.

1285
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:41,360
Speaker 1: They've been even better against pass catching backs, holding them

1286
01:05:41,360 --> 01:05:43,440
Speaker 1: to three catches twenty two yards per game and no

1287
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:47,160
Speaker 1: receiving touchdowns. I've got the rare B grade on Levy

1288
01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:49,800
Speaker 1: on Bell. Going over to the Kansas City side, Kareem

1289
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:53,200
Speaker 1: Hunt is an obvious A against a bad Pittsburgh run defense.

1290
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:55,400
Speaker 1: In fact, he's my number one running back for the week.

1291
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:58,160
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt, let's go to the passing game. Alex Smith

1292
01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 1: is a C against the Steelers defense. The path of

1293
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:03,560
Speaker 1: least resistance definitely on the ground, and the game plan

1294
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:07,680
Speaker 1: looks dubious for Alex Smith here. Fortunately, his newfound downfield

1295
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:10,040
Speaker 1: passing prowess means that Alex Smith can get decent numbers

1296
01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:14,520
Speaker 1: unlimited volume. Still, Pittsburgh's even just three passing touchdowns all year,

1297
01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:17,360
Speaker 1: which is awesome, and an average of just one hundred

1298
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:20,240
Speaker 1: sixty four yards per game. So it's a bit's barely

1299
01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:23,600
Speaker 1: a C grade on Alex Smith. Tyre killed another low

1300
01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:26,400
Speaker 1: volume guy and a tough matchup with the Steelers secondary

1301
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:28,880
Speaker 1: that hasn't allowed a wide receiver to top fifty five

1302
01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 1: yards all year. But he is insanely fast and the

1303
01:06:33,360 --> 01:06:36,760
Speaker 1: three Steelers cornerbacks are usually slow, so maybe he cracks

1304
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:40,360
Speaker 1: the long one here. He did nothing in the two matchups.

1305
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:42,400
Speaker 1: Tyry Hill did nothing in the two matchups. Last year.

1306
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:46,360
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh played like the Browns and the Jaguars. It's not

1307
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:48,960
Speaker 1: it's not a lot of great vikings in a in

1308
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:52,120
Speaker 1: a game, you know where he's going to start. Yeah,

1309
01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:54,440
Speaker 1: it's so there's some of that too, But still I

1310
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:56,800
Speaker 1: feel like this has got Kareem Hunt running up and

1311
01:06:56,840 --> 01:06:59,880
Speaker 1: down the field. Um, and those teams have all been

1312
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:02,440
Speaker 1: running on the Steelers. If those teams can run on Steelers,

1313
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:05,240
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt, the NFL leader in rushing yards, will certainly

1314
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:07,480
Speaker 1: do that as well. Travis Kelsey is going to play

1315
01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:10,240
Speaker 1: in this game, but it's not a particularly favorable matchup.

1316
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:12,240
Speaker 1: This is a Steelers defense that has allowed just one

1317
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:14,960
Speaker 1: tight end touchdown and no tight ends to top forty

1318
01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 1: five yards all year. He did have a moderate level

1319
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:20,760
Speaker 1: of success last year in the two matchups b grade

1320
01:07:20,840 --> 01:07:25,400
Speaker 1: on Travis Kelsey. When we come back, we'll run through

1321
01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:29,520
Speaker 1: our final set of matchups, Premature speculation and lightning round

1322
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:31,160
Speaker 1: all that between. Now on the top of the hour,

Speaker 1: bit that we do every show where we give you

01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:39,559
Speaker 1: some guys that we think you should pick up now

1341
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:43,240
Speaker 1: that are potentially hot waiver wire pickups next week. Scott,

1342
01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:46,080
Speaker 1: who you got? You know, I'm going with Tyler Croft.

1343
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:49,640
Speaker 1: He there owned by this week. So now that I

1344
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:52,360
Speaker 1: Fit's out for the season, people might not be picking

1345
01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:54,559
Speaker 1: them up right now because of the bye, but then

1346
01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:57,160
Speaker 1: next week they may be. Yeah, exactly, so get him

1347
01:08:57,160 --> 01:09:00,680
Speaker 1: before getting before everybody else. He's averaging Since I f

1348
01:09:00,680 --> 01:09:03,519
Speaker 1: Its been, he's been averaging four catches in about forty

1349
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:06,040
Speaker 1: five yards per game, and he scored twice. He's the

1350
01:09:06,040 --> 01:09:09,599
Speaker 1: second most targeted wide receiver tight end on the Bengals

1351
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:12,639
Speaker 1: over the last three weeks, and five of his final

1352
01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:17,000
Speaker 1: nine games are against bottom twelve past defenses, including two

1353
01:09:17,080 --> 01:09:20,000
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. In your playoffs, I like it, yeah,

1354
01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:22,080
Speaker 1: for its top of the year, So you know you've

1355
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:24,479
Speaker 1: got clear sailing with him exactly, all right, Brian, who's

1356
01:09:24,479 --> 01:09:27,960
Speaker 1: your premature speculation? Guy. I think those second round rookie

1357
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:31,479
Speaker 1: wide receivers A Jones of the Buffalo Bills ZA has

1358
01:09:31,479 --> 01:09:34,880
Speaker 1: done virtually nothing so far this year, but someone needs

1359
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:36,960
Speaker 1: to step up at wide receiver for Buffalo with Jordan

1360
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:39,600
Speaker 1: Matthews still on the shelf. Um that someone has to

1361
01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:42,679
Speaker 1: be Jones, who has more targets and fellow Buffalo wide

1362
01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:47,000
Speaker 1: receivers Brandon Tate, Andre Holmes, and Kayalen Clay combined. Jones

1363
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:49,240
Speaker 1: was targeted three times since hade the red zone in

1364
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:52,000
Speaker 1: his last game, so that was some encouraging usage. He's

1365
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:53,640
Speaker 1: on hist by this week, so no one's gonna be

1366
01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:56,639
Speaker 1: adding him now, but I think you should because looking ahead,

1367
01:09:56,640 --> 01:09:58,479
Speaker 1: he's got a pretty nice schedule the next four weeks

1368
01:09:58,479 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 1: for wide receivers Tampa Bay, Oakland at New York Jets,

1369
01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:04,479
Speaker 1: and New Orleans. So those are kind of some shootout

1370
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:07,040
Speaker 1: type scenarios, you could say, not really for Buffalo is

1371
01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:10,400
Speaker 1: never gonna shoot up. It's a Jones is gonna see volume. Uh,

1372
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:12,840
Speaker 1: Jordan Matthews is getting dropped everywhere, and he's gonna be

1373
01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:15,040
Speaker 1: out for another two weeks. I wonder at some point,

1374
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:17,000
Speaker 1: if we're not gonna be talking about him, is a guy.

1375
01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:19,879
Speaker 1: You know, if A Jones doesn't emerge when Jordan Matthews

1376
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:21,720
Speaker 1: comes back, then he's got to be the guy. I'm

1377
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:25,320
Speaker 1: calling on that one. All right, that's two weeks from now. Uh,

1378
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:27,479
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you two. I'm gonna try to do quickly.

1379
01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:31,040
Speaker 1: One is Ricardo Lewis. He's the latest of the Browns

1380
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:35,040
Speaker 1: receivers to you know, to play whackable. But he's Kevin

1381
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:37,559
Speaker 1: Hogan's guy. This is the difference here. In the last

1382
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:40,000
Speaker 1: two games, he's gotten eight and nine targets, which has

1383
01:10:40,040 --> 01:10:42,439
Speaker 1: produced solid yard and yard yardage number sixty four and

1384
01:10:42,439 --> 01:10:45,400
Speaker 1: seventy one yards. And Kevin Hogan's your starter. And frankly,

1385
01:10:45,439 --> 01:10:47,960
Speaker 1: I think he's better than Deshaun Kaiser, so at at

1386
01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:50,479
Speaker 1: least two my eyes, So I think Kevin Hogan's gonna

1387
01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:53,400
Speaker 1: hold that job at least for a while. I'll take

1388
01:10:53,439 --> 01:10:55,680
Speaker 1: his number one receiver. Kenny Brits gonna miss another game

1389
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:58,439
Speaker 1: with the knee injury, not that he's even particularly relevant here.

1390
01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:01,080
Speaker 1: And the Browns are playing from behind the virtually every game.

1391
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:06,040
Speaker 1: They have the sixth highest pass ratio of then secondarily

1392
01:11:09,360 --> 01:11:12,679
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo. Now I know my track record I'm figuring

1393
01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:16,000
Speaker 1: out when the Brady Garoppolo handoff is coming. Is a

1394
01:11:16,160 --> 01:11:21,200
Speaker 1: tad spotty, but here's your here's your angle. Tom Brady

1395
01:11:21,200 --> 01:11:26,280
Speaker 1: has absorbed more sacks this year than all of last year. Already,

1396
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:29,760
Speaker 1: he's on pace to shatter his personal record for the

1397
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:32,400
Speaker 1: most sacks in any season with fifty one. He's also

1398
01:11:32,479 --> 01:11:34,639
Speaker 1: on pace to shatter as Pelvis if this keeps up.

1399
01:11:35,479 --> 01:11:38,840
Speaker 1: For some perspective, on fifty one sacks, that's nine more

1400
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:43,280
Speaker 1: than the most sacked quarterback in the league last year,

1401
01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:45,920
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor. So he's on pace to have nine more

1402
01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:48,200
Speaker 1: sacks than the most sack quarterback for last year. And

1403
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:50,679
Speaker 1: as we've discussed before, when you get to Brady's age,

1404
01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:56,280
Speaker 1: the end comes with injury. Here's your angle. Uh. Fortunately,

1405
01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:58,080
Speaker 1: this week the Patriots played the team getting a few

1406
01:11:58,120 --> 01:12:00,439
Speaker 1: of sacks the Jets, so maybe have to do it

1407
01:12:00,479 --> 01:12:04,400
Speaker 1: this week. But Garoppolo came back. Yes, If Brady went

1408
01:12:04,439 --> 01:12:08,600
Speaker 1: out and Garoppolo were playing, Garoppolo would likely be a

1409
01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:12,679
Speaker 1: top ten fantasy quarterback most weeks. Let's get our final

1410
01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:17,040
Speaker 1: two matchups. In next up, Detroit takes on New Orleans

1411
01:12:17,240 --> 01:12:21,880
Speaker 1: Brian We got a one legged quarterback for Detroit. Yeah,

1412
01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:25,479
Speaker 1: normally you'd give almost any opposing quarterback in New Orleans

1413
01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:27,080
Speaker 1: in a but I'm gonna give Stafford to be here

1414
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:28,920
Speaker 1: because he's so banged up with that leg injury, and

1415
01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:31,519
Speaker 1: he's taken a lot of hits, and New Orleans pass

1416
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:33,960
Speaker 1: rush is fairly legit. So I'm a little worried about

1417
01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:36,679
Speaker 1: Stafford finishing this game. But he's certainly worth the start

1418
01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:39,960
Speaker 1: in this matchup. A guy that's definitely worth the start.

1419
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:44,400
Speaker 1: It's Golden eight, Golden, Golden eight, Golden giving him an

1420
01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:47,320
Speaker 1: a on the fast of them this week. Yeah. In

1421
01:12:47,360 --> 01:12:50,360
Speaker 1: his career, he's played thirty nine games indoors and sixty

1422
01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 1: three outdoors. Tata scored seventeen touchdowns in his thirty nine

1423
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:57,639
Speaker 1: indoor games, nearly half a touchdown bre game. He's only

1424
01:12:57,680 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 1: scored twelve in the sixty three outdoor games. He's also

1425
01:13:01,240 --> 01:13:04,559
Speaker 1: compiled more yards and UH catches in the thirty nine

1426
01:13:04,560 --> 01:13:07,400
Speaker 1: indoor games than compared to the total from the sixty

1427
01:13:07,439 --> 01:13:09,680
Speaker 1: three outdoor games. So he's a great play, especially with

1428
01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:12,479
Speaker 1: Kenny Bacaro expected to cover him from the slot. Thecaro

1429
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:14,640
Speaker 1: is a safety. He's on a cornerback, so takes a

1430
01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:17,720
Speaker 1: primo primo play. Uh. The other wide receivers are not though.

1431
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:19,599
Speaker 1: Kenny Golladay on the bench, not even sure if he's

1432
01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:21,519
Speaker 1: gonna play yet he hasn't played since Week three. He

1433
01:13:21,560 --> 01:13:24,400
Speaker 1: can't be trusted. I'm on the fence with Marvin Jones.

1434
01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:27,360
Speaker 1: H Ken Crawley and Marshaw Lattimore are very good cornerbacks

1435
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:30,439
Speaker 1: for the Saints. Not since Week one, no opposing wide

1436
01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:32,719
Speaker 1: receiver has topped eighty yards and only one has scored

1437
01:13:32,720 --> 01:13:34,519
Speaker 1: against the Saints. So I got Marvin Jones on the

1438
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:37,439
Speaker 1: bench here, as I do with Eric Ebron. UH could

1439
01:13:37,439 --> 01:13:40,720
Speaker 1: never block last week. He he can't catch any So

1440
01:13:43,240 --> 01:13:44,719
Speaker 1: over the course of the show, we've given you five

1441
01:13:44,760 --> 01:13:46,920
Speaker 1: tight ends that I would rather play over Eric Ebron,

1442
01:13:46,960 --> 01:13:49,160
Speaker 1: who are available in almost every league. This could be

1443
01:13:49,160 --> 01:13:51,000
Speaker 1: the last time we mentioned his name on the show

1444
01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:54,400
Speaker 1: with me. Uh. Then onto the running backs for Detroit.

1445
01:13:54,439 --> 01:13:56,599
Speaker 1: I'll give him you. Abdula b has at least fifteen

1446
01:13:56,680 --> 01:13:59,160
Speaker 1: carries and three or five games this year. He was

1447
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:01,840
Speaker 1: vultured by his center last week, so fire up that

1448
01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:05,000
Speaker 1: sound effect if you want. Tony. But New Orleans is

1449
01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:08,040
Speaker 1: ranked thirtieth against the run by Football Outsiders and has

1450
01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:11,160
Speaker 1: allowed the fourth most catches and second most perceiving yards

1451
01:14:11,160 --> 01:14:13,400
Speaker 1: to running backs, so Abdu will get work on the

1452
01:14:13,439 --> 01:14:15,160
Speaker 1: ground and in the air. So he's still a B

1453
01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:18,719
Speaker 1: level play and those passing numbers should make THEO Ritica

1454
01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:20,679
Speaker 1: a solid start in this one. But he has double

1455
01:14:20,720 --> 01:14:23,960
Speaker 1: digit double digit touches and just one of five games played,

1456
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:26,040
Speaker 1: so for me, he's still on the bench even in

1457
01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:28,679
Speaker 1: this matchup. So he's on the bench over the Saints.

1458
01:14:28,720 --> 01:14:31,360
Speaker 1: Drew Brees is an ah you always love breeze at home.

1459
01:14:31,360 --> 01:14:33,479
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get into that one too much. Michael

1460
01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:35,799
Speaker 1: Thomas also gonna give him an a even though Darius

1461
01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:39,200
Speaker 1: Slay should be Uh's the tricky part of this, right,

1462
01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:42,479
Speaker 1: tricky part. But Slay allowed Calvin Benjamin and Devin Funches

1463
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:46,000
Speaker 1: to score last week. UH number one receivers before that game,

1464
01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:48,639
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs had five catches for ninety eight yards. Julio

1465
01:14:48,720 --> 01:14:51,360
Speaker 1: Jones had seven for nine one against Detroit. So that's

1466
01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:53,360
Speaker 1: a fair barometer for Thomas here with A with a

1467
01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:56,720
Speaker 1: certainly high ceiling. Willie Sneed and Ted again, let's talk

1468
01:14:56,720 --> 01:15:00,000
Speaker 1: about these guys. Well, yeah, I think so Willie Sneeds

1469
01:15:00,040 --> 01:15:03,160
Speaker 1: gonna make his season debut um. We don't know what

1470
01:15:03,240 --> 01:15:05,920
Speaker 1: kind of usage he's gonna get though, and Ted Ginn

1471
01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:09,080
Speaker 1: hasn't caught more than three passes since Week one. I'm

1472
01:15:09,080 --> 01:15:10,960
Speaker 1: gonna give both the Sea just because they're at home

1473
01:15:11,120 --> 01:15:13,559
Speaker 1: in a fairly favorable matchup. Detroit has allowed a hundred

1474
01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:15,880
Speaker 1: and sixty five yards to wide receiver units and four

1475
01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:18,479
Speaker 1: total touchdowns over the last three weeks, so I'll give

1476
01:15:18,479 --> 01:15:20,120
Speaker 1: both the Sea, but I'm not liking it. I like

1477
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:22,679
Speaker 1: Kobe Fleaner a whole lot more than both of those guys.

1478
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:25,240
Speaker 1: Use might take a chance let meet receiver. And then, finally,

1479
01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:27,559
Speaker 1: the running backs for the Saints, Mark Ingram and Album Kamara.

1480
01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:30,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give them both of b Ingram probably the

1481
01:15:30,040 --> 01:15:32,800
Speaker 1: better play and standard leads Kamara and PPR that both

1482
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:34,679
Speaker 1: should see good usage on the ground. In the air,

1483
01:15:35,080 --> 01:15:37,559
Speaker 1: h Ingram will likely flirt with twenty carries while Kamara

1484
01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:40,040
Speaker 1: will get around ten. Kamara should be more involved in

1485
01:15:40,040 --> 01:15:43,439
Speaker 1: the passing game, where this matchup favors uh Past catching

1486
01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:46,479
Speaker 1: backs more. The lines have allowed the fourth most catches

1487
01:15:46,520 --> 01:15:48,519
Speaker 1: and fifth most receiving arts and running backs this year,

1488
01:15:48,600 --> 01:15:51,040
Speaker 1: so he's slightly better play this week. I think come on.

1489
01:15:51,040 --> 01:15:54,439
Speaker 1: I'm fascinated to see how they use Alvin Cramea now

1490
01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:57,479
Speaker 1: that coming off that massive London game, then you go

1491
01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:00,639
Speaker 1: into the by then you trade Adrian Peter Sin So

1492
01:16:00,680 --> 01:16:03,040
Speaker 1: what happens now with Camara? They're gonna throw him another

1493
01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:06,080
Speaker 1: eleven times in one game. I can't wait to see

1494
01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:08,600
Speaker 1: how they use them here and that'll be absolutely fascinating.

1495
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:12,639
Speaker 1: There's there's a scenario out there where Camara is so

1496
01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:16,799
Speaker 1: good that he simply leaves Ingram and his dust. Although

1497
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:20,240
Speaker 1: Sean Paynton has forever used multiple backs, but maybe Ingram

1498
01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:22,200
Speaker 1: is just so good that he becomes closer to like

1499
01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:25,160
Speaker 1: an RB one for fantasy. It is possible. Al right, Scott,

1500
01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:26,760
Speaker 1: final matchup of the week is the Monday Night or

1501
01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:30,639
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts at the Tennessee Titans. You already talked about

1502
01:16:30,680 --> 01:16:32,400
Speaker 1: some of the some of the guys that you liked

1503
01:16:32,400 --> 01:16:35,040
Speaker 1: and take a chance of me like Jacoby Brissette. Yep, yep,

1504
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 1: I liked Jacoby Proctte. I did give him a B

1505
01:16:37,479 --> 01:16:42,280
Speaker 1: grade in this one. Uh t Y Hilton his his

1506
01:16:42,400 --> 01:16:46,680
Speaker 1: tunnel vision wide receiver to hy Hilton. His accounted for

1507
01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:50,280
Speaker 1: forty nine percent of Brissette's passing yards over the last

1508
01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:53,240
Speaker 1: three weeks, including two games of over a hundred and

1509
01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 1: fifty yards. And this week he gets the Titans defense

1510
01:16:56,360 --> 01:16:59,120
Speaker 1: that is worse than those two. The Titans have allowed

1511
01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:02,599
Speaker 1: a league worst nine touchdowns to wide receivers this season.

1512
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:05,160
Speaker 1: And and Hilton is a big play guy. He he

1513
01:17:05,240 --> 01:17:08,080
Speaker 1: leads the He's tied for the league lead in receptions

1514
01:17:08,120 --> 01:17:11,240
Speaker 1: over twenty yards with eight, tied with our boys, Stephon Diggs.

1515
01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:14,800
Speaker 1: Um Hilton against the Titans last year, real quick five

1516
01:17:15,360 --> 01:17:18,240
Speaker 1: seven and a touchdown, seven for one, three in a touchdown.

1517
01:17:18,280 --> 01:17:21,559
Speaker 1: So yeah, good track, Yeah, a play for sure, a play, yep.

1518
01:17:21,960 --> 01:17:24,479
Speaker 1: I'm giving Frank Gore a ce play. He's had at

1519
01:17:24,560 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 1: least fifteen touches in three consecutive games, and every running

1520
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:31,519
Speaker 1: back that's had fifteen touches against the Titans has had

1521
01:17:31,560 --> 01:17:35,679
Speaker 1: either seventy five yards or a touchdown, So it seems

1522
01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:38,160
Speaker 1: pretty obvious there. I do have a little concern that,

1523
01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:41,439
Speaker 1: you know, Mac might carve out a little more. I

1524
01:17:41,479 --> 01:17:43,920
Speaker 1: think he will. Yeah, And and if Frank Gore did

1525
01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:46,880
Speaker 1: those touches dip a little, maybe he should be uh

1526
01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:49,640
Speaker 1: should be. I have missegreed he might be a B

1527
01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:52,320
Speaker 1: grade if it wasn't from Marlon Mack. I'm bentioning everyone

1528
01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:54,400
Speaker 1: else though. I like Marlon Mack, but I can't trust

1529
01:17:54,439 --> 01:17:57,200
Speaker 1: him yet. Moncrief and Aikin they they haven't even topped

1530
01:17:57,200 --> 01:18:01,160
Speaker 1: three catches in the game over the Titans. I did

1531
01:18:01,200 --> 01:18:03,960
Speaker 1: all of these assuming Mariota goes Monday night, so so

1532
01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:07,040
Speaker 1: keep that in mind. Delaney Walker, I gave an A grade.

1533
01:18:07,080 --> 01:18:10,320
Speaker 1: He's averaging nearly seven targets and fifty five yards per

1534
01:18:10,360 --> 01:18:12,880
Speaker 1: game with Mariota in and the Colts are allowing seventy

1535
01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:14,679
Speaker 1: yards and a score to tight ends over the last

1536
01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:19,360
Speaker 1: three weeks. Mariota a B grade. The Colts have allowed

1537
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:21,840
Speaker 1: the second most passing yards this season, over three hundred

1538
01:18:21,880 --> 01:18:25,040
Speaker 1: per game, and have allowed eight touchdowns over the last

1539
01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:28,559
Speaker 1: three weeks. Uh, it's a good matchup for Mariota. Richard

1540
01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:31,679
Speaker 1: Matthews has led the Titans and targets every week since

1541
01:18:31,720 --> 01:18:35,600
Speaker 1: Week two and averaged eight per game with Mariota. He

1542
01:18:35,760 --> 01:18:38,639
Speaker 1: plays the Colts defense that has surrendered at least fifty

1543
01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:42,559
Speaker 1: yards to ten different wide receivers. He's Mariota's top target.

1544
01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:45,880
Speaker 1: I like him as a B grade as well. Uh,

1545
01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:49,160
Speaker 1: Murray I have as a C grade de Marco Murray. Uh,

1546
01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:51,680
Speaker 1: the Colts are somehow kind of stingy on defense. No

1547
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:55,720
Speaker 1: running back has top fifty five yards rushing on them. Uh,

1548
01:18:55,840 --> 01:18:57,880
Speaker 1: Duke Johnson and Todd Gurley at nice days, but that

1549
01:18:57,960 --> 01:19:00,120
Speaker 1: was a lot through the air, and Merley Murdy. He

1550
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:02,960
Speaker 1: is only averaging two catches per game. So outside of

1551
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:05,160
Speaker 1: that really nice day against Philadelphia where he had a

1552
01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:08,200
Speaker 1: huge run, Murray has been mediocre at best. He's he's

1553
01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:10,280
Speaker 1: really only a c play because I think he might

1554
01:19:10,280 --> 01:19:13,639
Speaker 1: get fifteen or so touches. Yeah, if Castle starts, I'm

1555
01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:17,160
Speaker 1: mentioning the entire passing game, though I don't trust Castle

1556
01:19:17,200 --> 01:19:20,400
Speaker 1: to get anything done through the air. Nothing. I'm gonna

1557
01:19:20,439 --> 01:19:23,720
Speaker 1: go back to Marlon Mack for the second the He

1558
01:19:23,840 --> 01:19:25,840
Speaker 1: brought some sizzle to the table that we have not

1559
01:19:25,880 --> 01:19:28,439
Speaker 1: seen from a running back from the Colts in years,

1560
01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:32,200
Speaker 1: and Chuck Bogano said they're going to expand his role Tennessee.

1561
01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:35,439
Speaker 1: Giving a fifty yards through the air on a per

1562
01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:37,519
Speaker 1: game basis to running backs, I think most of that

1563
01:19:37,520 --> 01:19:40,360
Speaker 1: could go to Marlon Mack. I I think he's in

1564
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:43,240
Speaker 1: a bye week. I think he's startable. It's possible we'll

1565
01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:44,800
Speaker 1: find out well, you will find it. He's gonna be

1566
01:19:44,800 --> 01:19:46,720
Speaker 1: fun to watch that one. It's lighting around. You know

1567
01:19:46,760 --> 01:19:48,320
Speaker 1: what that means. Plenty of your phone calls between now

1568
01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:50,559
Speaker 1: on the top of the hour, and you know the rules.

1569
01:19:51,160 --> 01:19:54,320
Speaker 1: One question between two players, many of you have been

1570
01:19:54,360 --> 01:19:57,439
Speaker 1: holding for upwards of really two hours. Thank you for

1571
01:19:57,439 --> 01:20:00,760
Speaker 1: your patients. Scott, your first Well, I was gonna ask

1572
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:02,360
Speaker 1: for take a chance on me tight end, but I

1573
01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:06,080
Speaker 1: guess they don't have to do that. No, you don't. Um,

1574
01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:10,160
Speaker 1: I have a trade question. Um, I have Ryan Winston

1575
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:12,720
Speaker 1: and um Stanford on my team, and I have a

1576
01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:19,760

1577
01:20:19,880 --> 01:20:23,439
Speaker 1: I'm I'm yeah, I'm got the depth of quarterback. Yeah

1578
01:20:23,439 --> 01:20:25,599
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't mind getting rid of Winston at

1579
01:20:25,640 --> 01:20:27,920
Speaker 1: all for for that. You have two good quarterbacks other

1580
01:20:27,920 --> 01:20:30,160
Speaker 1: than that, so yeah, I would take Tomorrow over Ellington

1581
01:20:30,240 --> 01:20:34,320
Speaker 1: going forward. Thank you, Scott. Aaron You're next. I gotta

1582

1586
01:20:53,640 --> 01:20:59,599

1587
01:20:59,600 --> 01:21:01,600
Speaker 1: who I have is gonna get the majority of the

1588
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:05,679
Speaker 1: carry's in a very favorable matchup. Michael, you're next. I'm

1589
01:21:05,760 --> 01:21:11,760
Speaker 1: dropping Cutler. I need McCowen or oh, easily McCom for

1591
01:21:14,680 --> 01:21:21,559

1595

Speaker 1: camp Aaron Jones or Duke Johns Aaron Jones or Duke

1596
01:21:41,680 --> 01:21:46,040
Speaker 1: Johnson half point PPR. I think he said it's a

1597
01:21:46,040 --> 01:21:51,479
Speaker 1: tough matchup for Jones. It's a king it is if

1598
01:21:51,520 --> 01:21:54,840
Speaker 1: Montgomery plays, I would lean Duke Johnson with Montgomery somehow

1599
01:21:54,840 --> 01:21:58,160
Speaker 1: say it's go down Jones. All right. I think Matt

1600
01:21:58,280 --> 01:22:01,559
Speaker 1: is next, Matt or that was Matt hold On Now

1601
01:22:01,640 --> 01:22:07,080

1602
01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:10,679
Speaker 1: song Pierre Gar songs, particularly in PPR where he's been

1603
01:22:10,960 --> 01:22:15,280
Speaker 1: really good even without the touchdowns. Jim You're next? Yeah, Um,

1604
01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:19,679
Speaker 1: standards scoring a Smith Schuster or Mike Evans. Wow, it's

01:22:19,720 --> 01:22:23,519
Speaker 1: come to this, and jud smith Schuster is my guy

1606
01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:25,760
Speaker 1: from taking a chance on me. But I can't. I

1607
01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:31,519
Speaker 1: can't start him over. Mike Evans, No, I can't do it. Rick,

1608
01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:36,920

1609
01:22:37,080 --> 01:22:40,240
Speaker 1: or Golden Tape. All right, probably Golden Tate. I love

1610
01:22:40,280 --> 01:22:43,280
Speaker 1: Golden Tape. It's inside my top ten this week at

1611
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:46,760
Speaker 1: the receiver position. Trent, You're next. They love the Joan

1612
01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:54,479
Speaker 1: you Jordan Read or a J. Derby boy Charter Reads

1613
01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:57,280
Speaker 1: brought nothing to the table. He's got three ailments right now,

1614
01:22:57,320 --> 01:22:59,559
Speaker 1: even coming out of the bye week. Go with your

1615
01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:02,360
Speaker 1: go with your a J. Derby, So this is the

1616
01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:05,680
Speaker 1: week Reed goes off. Probably you know, is so so

1617
01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:09,480
Speaker 1: good for Derby. Let's do it, do it, go Tory Derby?

1618
01:23:09,520 --> 01:23:15,479
Speaker 1: All right, everyone, I like it. Jason, you're next, alright.

1619
01:23:15,479 --> 01:23:21,400
Speaker 1: Standards scoring Alex Collins or Camara because it's standard scoring.

1620
01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:23,160
Speaker 1: I'm taking Collins, who I think he's got a great

1621
01:23:23,200 --> 01:23:26,439
Speaker 1: chance of a touchdown here. Collins has eight runs over

1622
01:23:26,800 --> 01:23:29,960
Speaker 1: ten yards and three runs over twenty yards. Really explosive,

1623
01:23:30,280 --> 01:23:32,680
Speaker 1: and I'm super high Camara. Don't get me wrong, but

1624
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:34,840
Speaker 1: I think it's his best value comes as a full

1625
01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:39,720
Speaker 1: featured back, including the passing game. Gene, you're next? Oh yeah,

1626
01:23:40,439 --> 01:23:47,920
Speaker 1: that's going Mary Cooper for for sorry Cooper? Who Fuller?

1627
01:23:48,439 --> 01:23:52,680
Speaker 1: Fuller Cooper or Fuller? Wow? Fuller is a tough, tough matchup.

1628
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:56,840
Speaker 1: I think Hooper's his own walking tough matchup. His own

1629
01:23:56,880 --> 01:23:59,599
Speaker 1: hands are a tough matchup. Cooper has been terrible. He's

1630
01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:02,200
Speaker 1: got are but I can't. I just can't quit him yet.

1631
01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:05,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Cooper, just barely. Chris, you're on

1632
01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:10,759
Speaker 1: the fan alright? Uh point per Reception League and Chris

1633
01:24:10,760 --> 01:24:15,040
Speaker 1: Hogan or Davante Adams. Wow, that's that's a tough one.

1634
01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:22,320
Speaker 1: I feel so um. I'm going Hogan went to if

1635
01:24:22,360 --> 01:24:31,480
Speaker 1: Adams right, Jim you're next, Jim PPR, Yes, I'm her PPR.

1636
01:24:32,760 --> 01:24:39,960
Speaker 1: Gore or Ellington, sure by a mile, Zach You're up? Yeah?

1637
01:24:40,040 --> 01:24:44,920
Speaker 1: Non PPR, t Y Hilton or Brandon Cooks. I'm going Hilton.

1638
01:24:46,160 --> 01:24:48,240
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna put up a huge day both

1639
01:24:48,280 --> 01:24:51,759
Speaker 1: in yards and touchdown. Luke, you're on the fan? Hey

1640
01:24:52,240 --> 01:24:57,519
Speaker 1: PPR again JR? Or Mark's lead? Thank you? Man? Go

1641
01:24:57,600 --> 01:25:01,400
Speaker 1: to the waiver wire. Dude, I don't know. Again, I

1642
01:25:01,479 --> 01:25:04,840
Speaker 1: gave Marks got also got the game plan working against him,

1643
01:25:04,840 --> 01:25:08,240
Speaker 1: which should be all running right. At least Gain has

1644
01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:10,280
Speaker 1: got the upside of the game plan that's going to

1645
01:25:10,360 --> 01:25:13,519
Speaker 1: go mostly through Breeze's arm. Again's got upside, Let's put

1646
01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:17,080
Speaker 1: it that way. But seriously, ju Juice Smith Schuster is

1647
01:25:17,080 --> 01:25:18,840
Speaker 1: a way better start than either one of those, and

1648
01:25:18,880 --> 01:25:21,639
Speaker 1: I assure you he's available right now. Littany of tight

1649
01:25:21,720 --> 01:25:23,519
Speaker 1: ends that we mentioned on the show, I playing them

1650
01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:26,080
Speaker 1: over either of those guests. A right, Jim, you're our

1651
01:25:26,080 --> 01:25:31,519
Speaker 1: final caller today. My guys standards scoring uh, flex position,

1652
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:36,120
Speaker 1: Jarvis Lantry or Jameron Breave. I'm going with Landry. I

1653
01:25:36,360 --> 01:25:38,600
Speaker 1: do like break, but he has scored three weeks in

1654
01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:40,680
Speaker 1: a row. The odds of a fourth might not be

1655
01:25:41,439 --> 01:25:44,439
Speaker 1: for a bad game. Yeah, pante Parker out. I'm going Landry. Okay,

1656
01:25:44,439 --> 01:25:47,519
Speaker 1: sounds good. Enjoy your one yard per reception on Landry.

1657
01:25:47,560 --> 01:25:50,200
Speaker 1: Scott did good. We keep him. Scott did a great job.

1658
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:53,439
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll even let you come back next week. He's done.
