7
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 1: games on Football's back game. Yeah, but we will spend

8
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: most of our focus on the game's coming up Sunday

9
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: and Monday. In addition to breaking down every game fantasy

10
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: style and applying all of the letter grades that we

11
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 1: always do that would be ABC and bench level grades

12
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: to our players, we will also have take a chance

13
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: on me. This is where we unveil nine players not

14
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: normally in your starting lineup that you can go to

15
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 1: war with this week, and there are some scenarios where

16
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: you've got to go to some deeper players. Yeah. Yeah,

17
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: We'll play three tough questions and near the end of

18
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: the show premature speculation where we help you identify the

19
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: players you can pick up now that other people will

20
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: be trying to pick up next week, but they're already

21
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: on your team, and I didn't want. Yes, very excited

22
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: to have the time machine backed. Yes, you didn't know

23
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 1: what a time machine sounded. That you're you're a big

24
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: fan of time travel charge future charge stock I bought

25
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: in two thousand two. But that just changed the entirety

26
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: of the world. It could be um, yeah, the butterfly effect. Charge. Yes,

27
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,639
Speaker 1: and I'm the quiet, very quietly, I'm now the richest

28
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: man in the world. Yes, explains the placial we've podcast from. Yes,

29
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: the six Butlers. That doesn't it seems weird at the time.

30
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: Let's dive into our matchups. But actually, before we do that,

31
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: I want to pose to you what to do if

32
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: you started cam Akers or Allen Robinson who combined for

33
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: eleven yards on Thursday night, and now you find yourself

34
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 1: in a big hole coming into this weekend. What's the

35
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 1: strategy now to overcome that? Who started cam Akers? I

36
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: started Darryl Henderson, my sleeper from last week. Great you are.

37
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: I also thought Ellen Robinson would have an amazing year.

38
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: So let's not victory that everything that's pretty that's pretty

39
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: dang terrible. Uh. I think one thing you do if

40
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: if you're trying, if you played against them, and you're

41
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 1: trying to pretty let's start, let's star the other start. Yeah,

42
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 1: let's just just we'll get to that in a second.

43
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: All right, that you started, Cam Akers or Allen Robinson.

44
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: What do you do to overcome it? Yeah, it's it's

45
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: the pretty stock answer of you know, if you have

46
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: two guys that are pretty similarly ranked, or you have

47
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: this similar viewpoint on them, you go with the one

48
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: with the higher ceiling. At this point, we're going for upside.

49
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: Think about if you've got a quarterback receiver combo. You

50
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: put those guys in to see if you can get

51
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: lightning to strike on that once or twice. And so

52
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: you're playing for upside. Now the now, let's flip it over.

53
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: You're playing against Cam Akers or Allen Robinson. Somebody just

54
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 1: burned a roster spot on effectively no fantasy points. What

55
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: are you gonna do to protect your your early advantage?

56
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: But I think you pretend it's a guillotine league and

57
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: you just go for safety. You go for instant touches

58
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: and try to get as many ten touch guys in

59
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: your lineup as possible. Yeah, you immediately pull the guys

60
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: like George Kittle or Chris Godwin stuff like that, Chris Godwin,

61
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: especially because he plays Sunday night and you don't want

62
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: to wait out that injury. Or Russell Gage that same game,

63
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: you play a safer player with a lot less upside probably,

64
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: but at least you know they're gonna throw some points

65
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: at you. I'm excited to hear what you think of

66
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: Julio Jones in that game when we get to it.

67
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: But let's begin with the Eagles taking on the Lion Scott.

68
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: This was a one sided so lacking last year. What

69
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: do you think happens here? Yeah, it's probably gonna be

70
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: close to the same. Eagles are a sneaky favorite for

71
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: a lot of people to win that uh that NFC

72
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: Easton and maybe even make a run in the playoffs.

73
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: That's me, Yeah, that's me too. When I was in Iowa,

74
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: my son made me place a bet on the Eagles

75
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: to win their division. I was very proud of him

76
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: with that. Uh. Jalen Hurts, I have an a grade

77
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: on this guy. Okay, yes, I mean I made the belt,

78
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 1: I made the bet on the Eagle side. Let's start

79
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: with Jalen Hurts I having a grade on him. This

80
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 1: is a guy who finished top twelve in seventeen of

81
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: his twenty games last week as a top twelve fantasy quarterback.

82
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: That is, Hurts had seventy four designed runs last year,

83
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: which was second only to Lamar Jackson seventy six. He

84
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 1: had ten rushing touchdowns. You're getting close to an A

85
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: grade most weeks just off of his rushing. All indications

86
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,119
Speaker 1: are he's more accurate this year, He's been passing better,

87
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: and he added A J. Brown. Um, he gets a

88
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 1: matchup against the team that was bottom ten against quarterbacks

89
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: last year with the second lowest pressure rates, so they're

90
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: not even gonna get to him. UM A grade on

91
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: Hurts his main guy A J. Brown, I still have

92
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: an A grade on as well. The lines allowed the

93
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: most twenty plus yard receptions last year, and the Eagles

94
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: have three guys who can get deep in A. J. Brown,

95
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: DeVante Smith, and I suppose you could say god Or

96
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: can get deep because he has He's had a decent

97
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: amount of deep receptions. UM. Their bottom ten against the

98
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 1: slot where a G A J. Brown tends to tends

99
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: to play a decent amount make a lot of plays.

100
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: The only concern for me on this side is if

101
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: the Eagles get ahead too early and they run a

102
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 1: ton like they did in this same matchup last year.

103
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 1: But I think they'll want to unleash their new weapon

104
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,480
Speaker 1: in Week one, and you know they're going to get

105
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: some points on their way to that lead. Davante Smith

106
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: I have C grade on dude, how bad Detroit was

107
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: last year against the deep ball. All it's really gonna

108
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: take is one one big playout of Davante Smith and A. J.

109
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: Brown should draw a lot of coverage from Mamani or

110
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: a War or a a Uh. Dallas Goddard I have

111
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: a B grade for the Lions allowed the second most

112
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: yards and the fifth most receptions the tight ends last year.

113
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: It's a great matchup. Something's got to give here, though,

114
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: if if they get up early in they're running in

115
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 1: a ton. I think DeVante Smith is the bench but

116
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard B at the moment. Miles Sanders C grade

117
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: only really due to health concerns, as he finally just

118
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, I believe on Thursday finally

119
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: started putting in full practices. He has dealt with a

120
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: hamstring injury all all preseason here. Uh. They even added

121
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: trace sermonists and backup they said they're going to be cautious,

122
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: but the Lions allowed the fourth most rush yards, the

123
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: third most rushing tease, even the second most receiving touchdowns

124
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: to backs. Of course, Miles Sanders did not score last year,

125
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: but we gotta hope that comes back. There's a lot

126
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: to like here. It's mostly the injury concerned in the

127
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: split that gives me the pause in a great matchup.

128
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: So he's only getting a C grade. The rest of

129
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,119
Speaker 1: the running backs are on the bench because I don't

130
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: trust them until I see what these actual splits are.

131
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: I got fooled by Gainwell last year. They said pass

132
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,239
Speaker 1: catching rolling, it never materialized. We will talk more about

133
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: that exact situation later in this show. Yeah, on the

134
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: Lions side, I have most I have Jared Goff on

135
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 1: the bench. Let's just start there. I know you likely

136
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: drafted Goff early as your starter first round, but he

137
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: only topped two it in seventy yards three times last

138
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: year and had eight games of zero or one touchdown.

139
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 1: He's not a guy you're starting, um d J Charks

140
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: saam deal bench. I need to see his role first.

141
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: He's he's basically looking like fourth banana in the passing

142
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: order behind st. Brown, Hawkinson and Swift. So I need

143
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: to see that first. St. Brown, I'm giving a C

144
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: grade to The Eagles were second best against wide receivers

145
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 1: that year. Fourth fust receptions, third fewest yards, fifth fuse touchdowns.

146
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: Is not a great spot. However, they should fall behind,

147
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: and Amanra is the type of guy that gets a

148
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: lot of short volume passwork. I can see the his

149
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: receptions alone getting him up into that sea range. I

150
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: could even see like a nine for fifty eight game

151
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: where he just he just gets a bunch of receptions

152
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: and there's your points. Uh. T J. Hockenson a B grade.

153
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: Last year, the Eagles gave up the most receptions and

154
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: touchdowns to tight ends. They were a constant take a

155
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: chance on me. Let's find the tight end playing the Eagles,

156
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: and this is it this week. Yeah. T J. Hockenson

157
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 1: was a little harder to trust last year, but in

158
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: a perfect matchup like this, he gets a B grade. Uh.

159
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift also a B grade. Despite possibly missing two

160
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: offensive linemen, swiftest sob versatile out of the backfield. They

161
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: catches so many passes while behind. At one point last

162
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:02,719
Speaker 1: year mid season, he sevent of his receptions came in

163
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: the second half wall trailing. They used him a ton

164
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: once they get behind, and I see that happening here.

165
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 1: He's gonna get you to that B grade with the

166
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: rush yards, receiving yards and the receptions. I don't trust

167
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 1: j Will just quite yet, and I need to see

168
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: a rollout of that. Certainly we'll have to Raiders and Chargers.

169
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: Matt played one of the most thrilling games of last

170
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: regular season in the Epic Week A team winning in

171
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: overtime game, they immediately get the rematch here Raiders Chargers. Yeah,

172
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: um well, the Chargers only allowed eleven touchdowns the wide

173
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: receivers last year. Three of them went to Hunter renfro By.

174
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 1: The way he gets a B grade, Davante Adams gets

175
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: an A. Bryce Callahan was their week link. Hy Man's

176
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 1: the slot that's renfro j C. Jackson might not go

177
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 1: in this one. He's looking pretty doubtful, which would leave

178
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: A Sante Samuel Jr. In likely shadow coverage on Adams.

179
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: Sante was the nine ranked corner by Pro Football Focus

180
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 1: last year, so I like Adams a lot. In his

181
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: first game with his new team, Darren Waller not on

182
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: the injury report hurt, so I'll give him a B grade.

183
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: Waller has scored in three of his past four meetings

184
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: with the Chargers. Drew Tranquill usually covers the tight end

185
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: for the Chargers, and he allowed twenty nine of the

186
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: thirty three targets in his coverage to be caught last season.

187
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: And the Chargers allowed thirteen touchdowns to the tight end

188
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: position last year. That was second most in the league.

189
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: Derek Carr gets a B grade. A couple of bad

190
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: news is and a good news here. Bad news he's

191
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: been held under two d passing yards in each of

192
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: his last four meetings with l A good news he's

193
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: thrown for multiple touchdowns and three of those four and

194
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: now he's got Davante Adams. But then the bad news.

195
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: His offensive line looked terrible so far in the preseason,

196
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: so he's gonna have to get rid of the ball

197
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: quite quickly in this one. So just a B grade there,

198
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: even though I like his receivers a little bit more.

199
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs and Zamir White, I'm gonna keep them both

200
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: on the bench. Um. I don't trust the fact that

201
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: this might be a straight up committee approach under Josh McDaniels,

202
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: Brandon Bolden, and Amir Abdullah could factor in a bunch too.

203
00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: It would not shock me to see each of the

204
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,600
Speaker 1: raid Is runners held to fewer than ten touches in

205
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: this game. So I'll take this week off of their

206
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: runners and what should be a shootout. Even Josh Jacobs,

207
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: even Josh Jacob on the other side, Air Bear, he

208
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: gets an A. Justin Herbert Keenan Allen he gets an A.

209
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: Mike Williams he gets an A. Josh Palmer he gets

210
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: a C. He're just handing out a A is all

211
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: over the Josh Palmer, who apparently you hate. The cornerback

212
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: group of rock yaw Sin, Anthony Everett, Nate Hobbs and

213
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: a Meek Robertson who's only five eight are all positive

214
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: matchups for the Chargers wide outs that must might be

215
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: one of the worst secondaries in football. They might try

216
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: to flex their best corner Hobbs in on Keenan Allen,

217
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 1: but that's still a mismatch. So I like everybody in

218
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: the passing game, including Gerald Everett, who will give a

219
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: C grade too. It doesn't look like Donald Parham will

220
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: play this week. I know, and I love Donald Parham.

221
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for the big breakout to come. Do we

222
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 1: just get healthy, please, Ladarius Green? When's his breakout? Of

223
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: so Everet's gonna get all the tight end snaps this

224
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,960
Speaker 1: week against the Raiders defense that allowed the third most

225
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: touchdowns to tight ends last year. Uh in a year,

226
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: in a week where I have George Kittle in a

227
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 1: lot of leagues, Gerald Everett's the guy I've been pivoting

228
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: to a lot for my roster. If Kittle doesn't go,

229
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler he's the last guy I'm gonna mention he

230
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: gets an A grade. The Chargers must not have been

231
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: totally enthusiastic about Isaiah Spiller since they signed Sony Walkman

232
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: Michelle Layton camp. That leads me to believe it's all

233
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: Eckler this week. In his two meetings with the Raiders

234
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: last year, a hundred and forty five total yards and

235
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 1: two touchdowns total yards and two touchdowns. He's gonna have

236
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: a great week. In fact, I'm gonna give Austin Ekeler

237
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: my fantasy ardvark Um. Yes you are there, he is.

238
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 1: There's the fantasy yard park making his first appearance of

239
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: the year. Is here. Everybody excited for Fantasy yard Park

240
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: forty Niners take on the Bears. Weather expected to be

241
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: a big factor in this game. Be sure to track

242
00:12:55,280 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 1: it is there currently forecasting heavy rain and winds in Chicago.

243
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 1: Let's begin on the San Francisco side. Deebo Samuel and

244
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 1: obvious a. He put up a hundred seventy one yards

245
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 1: in last year's meeting against Chicago. Elijah Mitchell also in

246
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: a grade in this game. Last year, the Bears had

247
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 1: a league high opposing run rate and Pro Football Focus

248
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 1: is thirty first ranked defensive line. It's uh, and honestly,

249
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: the the the off season changes might make that even

250
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: a worse a wors group now. Mitchell tally day season

251
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: best one hundred thirty seven yards in last year's meeting,

252
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: including almost eight yards per carry, which I believe is

253
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 1: pretty good. Mitchell does not chip in with a lot

254
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: of catches, but you will not need them. A grade

255
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: for Elijah Mitchell. A lot of people drafted tray Lance

256
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: on the hope and promise of big things and it

257
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: should start nicely here. Uh, this is a very soft

258
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: landing spot. Chicago allowed the second most passing touchdowns and

259
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: the second most rushing quarterback rushing touchdowns last year. Combined

260
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: that together with tray Lands and it's a high deal

261
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: opera tunity. The Bears added two second round picks to

262
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: their awful secondary, but they're gonna get completely overwhelmed by

263
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: the forty nine years talented receivers. Hey get this. Jimmy

264
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 1: Garoppolo Randy in two touchdowns against the Bears last year.

265
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: If Garoppolo can do it, I like Trey Lance's chances

266
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: of doing the same. If he doesn't, there should be

267
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: a quarterback controversy. I'm just kidding, Brandon a Um. I

268
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: think star quarnerback Jalen Johnson's gonna attract Deebo Samuel pretty closely.

269
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: That puts ay on a lot of second round rookie

270
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: Kyler Gordon making his first ever NFL start. Are you

271
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: coming off a great training camp? By all reports, He's

272
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: got the deep speed to get under Trey Lances long passes,

273
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: something we never got from Jimmy Garoppolo. B grade. I'm

274
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: Brandon George Kittle nursing a groin injury. Doesn't look like

275
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: he's gonna go here, But even if he plays, that

276
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: groin injury could limit his running and his downfield abilities here,

277
00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: You're probably gonna have to watch this one from the

278
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: side line unless we get late word that Kittles in

279
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 1: good shape. It's covered to Chicago, where we've only got

280
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: a couple of starters. Here, we're gonna start with Justin Fields,

281
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: who is on the bench. It's Nick Bosa against fifth

282
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: round rookie left tackle Braxton Jones in a massive mismatch.

283
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: That's gonna have Justin Fields running for his life throughout

284
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: this camp. This game, this is your best chance of

285
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: fantasy success. Really is just scrambling for Justin Fields. We

286
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: can't count on that. Um. If his legs don't provide

287
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: fantasy points, you might be stuck. Because the pocket time

288
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: for Fields is going to be a massive issue in

289
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,840
Speaker 1: this game. It could be negative negative passing time. He

290
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: could be sacked before the ball gets to him. I

291
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: like the sound of that, Nick Bose, Nick Boson could

292
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: do that in this game. I've got just a C

293
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: grade on Darnell Mooney. A lot of optimism around the

294
00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: league for Mooney, but I see Fields getting terrorized, and

295
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: then I see a lot of double coverage for Mooney coming,

296
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: including solid cornerback and manual Mosley Mooney put up a

297
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: modest six catches six four yards and did not score

298
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: in the meeting last year. And the only other receiving

299
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: option to note is Cole Commet put up in totally

300
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: nondescript game against the Niners last year, but I'll note

301
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: that they now departed. Jesse James got a short touchdown

302
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: in that game, so at least a tight end did

303
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: score as he left the team. I don't think he's departed,

304
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: He's just not dearly departed. Jesse James. Uh Niners were

305
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: an elite tight end defense last year. After Week one,

306
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: they only gave up two Only two tight ends topped

307
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: the meager milestone of twenty seven yards all year, and

308
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: they only gave up four touchdowns all year to the

309
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: position C grade on Cole Commet and lastly, David Montgomery

310
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: also a C grade here. San Francisco boast last year

311
00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: a run defense last year that ranked top six according

312
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: to Pro Football Focus. They gave up the seventh fewest

313
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: rushing yards to running backs last year, and by ESPNS

314
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: team run stop win rate, the forty Niners of the

315
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: third best defensive line and then return all seven of

316
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: their front line starters here, so a brutal game script

317
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: coming that could easily turn against David Montgomery. There's not

318
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: a lot to like here and just the C grade

319
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 1: for David Montgomery in this game. When we come back,

320
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: take a chance on me. Nine players you would not

321
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 1: normally start. Will tell you who all of these players are.

322
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: You get three quarterbacks, through running backs, three receivers. Find

323
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: some guys you got maybe you got injury issues, maybe

324
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: the maybe the draft just sidn't follow your way at

325
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: some positions. We are here to help take a chance

326
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: on me. Coming up next on Fantasy Football Weekly, it's

327
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: take a chance on me. Nine players not normally do

328
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: starting line up. Many these players available on the waiver

329
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: wire right now. In fact, all three of mine are

330
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: probably i'd say sevent on waiver wires, maybe more for

331
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 1: all of my players. We begin to the quarterback position, Scott,

332
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: Who's gonna take a chance on the quarterback? Yeah, I'm

333
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 1: going with Jamis Winston. People like to rag on his

334
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: thirty three touchdown thirty interception year with Tampa, but last

335
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: year he had a fourteen to three touchdown interception ratio

336
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: and averaged over two touchdowns per game. His yardage wasn't

337
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: there at the start, but progressively got better. He averaged

338
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: about five rush attempts per game, so it's gonna get

339
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: you an extra three to nine points on the ground. Um,

340
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,840
Speaker 1: he gets a Falcons d with the league's worst pressure rate,

341
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,199
Speaker 1: so they're not gonna get to him. And that allowed

342
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 1: the fourth most fantasy points to quarterbacks last year. Um,

343
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: they're projected but to be the worst defense again this

344
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: year by multiple outlets, and people worried about does he

345
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: still sling it well last year? Um? Last year he

346
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: was top ten in deep ball throws, so he still

347
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: slings it. He He was top ten in average depth

348
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 1: of average depth of target as well, that which does

349
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 1: not surprise anybody given Jamis Winston's yolo passing styling. It

350
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 1: wasn't gone. Michael Thomas Yoo is a good nickname for him.

351
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: It is your take a chance for me, quarterback, Matt.

352
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,719
Speaker 1: I've got General Davis Mills who's playing against the Colts

353
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: this week. He's never thrown a touchdown pass against the

354
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: Colts and two tries. Well, he didn't start either game

355
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: of note, he'd started one maybe okay, Um, the Colts

356
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: had an iffy pass defense early in the year last year,

357
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 1: but allowed no three yard games from Week ten on

358
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: last season. So why am I using General Mills here?

359
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: Because there's a few bright spots. First, the Colts gave

360
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,199
Speaker 1: up the second most touchdown passes in the league last year. Second,

361
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 1: the addition of a decent running game should help Mills

362
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 1: see the field quite a bit better. Third, I don't

363
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: trust the Colts secondary. Stephen gilmour is thirty two years old.

364
00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: Kenny Moore, who I'm gonna cover a little bit later,

365
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: gave up the most yards in slot coverage. And finally,

366
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 1: in five of mills Is last seven games of one

367
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: he topped three passing yards or through for multiple scores.

368
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: He's just putting up good numbers. My quarterback. He was

369
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: originally Davis Mills, and I got off and I still

370
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: like Davis Mills, but I decided to amp up the difficulty.

371
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm just taking the easy that's right with

372
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 1: Davis Mills. Trevor Lawrence a horrific fantasy performer last year,

373
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: but a possible spot starter against a woefull secondary that

374
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: returns the same players from last year, including one of

375
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: the biggest free agent busts of one, William Jackson playing

376
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: against Washington. By the way I should mention, PFF graded

377
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: Washington is the twenty seven ranks past defense last year

378
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: and that closely corresponds to their thirtieth ranking in yards

379
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: allowed in dead last ranking and touchdowns allowed. And as

380
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: a bonus, Lawrence is fairly nimble, and the Commanders finished

381
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: dead last in quarterback rushing yards allowed and second to

382
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: last in quarterback rushing touchdowns allowed. You know, one way

383
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,199
Speaker 1: or another, Trevor Lawrence could get end up getting it

384
00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: done here. It's a good pick. Let's go to the

385
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,480
Speaker 1: running back position. You take a chance on me, runner Scott. Yeah,

386
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 1: I'm going over the Seattle Seahawks with Travis Homer. It

387
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,919
Speaker 1: sounds like ken Walker is not going to go at all.

388
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 1: And where he's playing, Travis Homer is playing against the

389
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 1: Broncos who allowed the ninth most receiving yards and receiving

390
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,680
Speaker 1: touchdowns and highest yards per reception to running backs last year.

391
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: Travis Homer, receiving back specialist. Uh, Travis. I believe that

392
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 1: Rashad Penny and Travis Hommer are gonna split because there's

393
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot of injuries in that backfield right now

394
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: and they're gonna want to keep Penny healthy and tell

395
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: Walkers back that the Denver Broncos allowed twenty six touches

396
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: per game to running backs. I think they split it

397
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: pretty evenly. And Homer gets get some points out there.

398
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: All right, Matt, you're running back, take a chance of me, player,

399
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,639
Speaker 1: I've got raheem must start most start tonight. There's a

400
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: couple of things working in Mostart's favor this week. First off,

401
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds popped up midweek with a groin strain. Now

402
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: he was back practicing in full on Thursday, but those

403
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,359
Speaker 1: kind of injuries tend to have a way of recurring

404
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: and rearing their ugly head. Uh So that makes me

405
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,639
Speaker 1: pause a little bit on Chase Edmunds. Second, new head coach,

406
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel comes from San fran where most It was

407
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:19,399
Speaker 1: on the roster for years and years. There's familiarity with

408
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 1: this offense. He's not going to be surprised by anything.

409
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,120
Speaker 1: And finally, the Pats gave up some odd games down

410
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,760
Speaker 1: the stretch to back up style runners. D Ernest Johnson,

411
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 1: Dontrelle Hilliard and de Anta Foreman each put up over

412
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: a hundred and ten total yards against New England from

413
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: week ten on, so most are kind of an intriguing

414
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 1: play this week. Might take a chance of me runner

415
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: is Baltimore running back Mike Davis your probable starter for

416
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 1: this game. Don't think j K. Dobbins is going to

417
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 1: have a big workload in his first game back from

418
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: the torn a c L and the opponents of Jets,

419
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: it's They were the league's worst run defense last year.

420
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: They gave up one hundred sixties seven total yards to

421
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 1: unning backs per game. If Mike Davis is gonna get

422
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: half of just half of the hundred and sixties seven

423
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: yards the Jets gave up last year. If roles to

424
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: this year, that's great. They gave up one point seven

425
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,439
Speaker 1: scores to running backs, also league worst. If Mike Davis

426
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: is gonna get half of that, that puts him on

427
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: a touchdown and eight eighty three and a half yards. Well,

428
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: well will certainly take that. Um, yeah, we'll The Jets

429
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: be a little better than that, but probably but not

430
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: a lot. Let's go to the wide receiver position. Just

431
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: to add on to that. I don't think Dobbin's plays honestly,

432
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: you think Lamar Jockson said he's probably a few weeks away,

433
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: So I'm I don't know that he plays that even

434
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: even better if if that happens Kenyan Drake also because

435
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:47,720
Speaker 1: an option absolutely absolutely. Uh, my wide receiver is Chris lave.

436
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,719
Speaker 1: I just mentioned Jameis Winston's deep ball actually understold it.

437
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: He was fifth in average depth of target last year

438
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,439
Speaker 1: and second in deep throw race. Look this up now, No, no,

439
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:00,439
Speaker 1: I had him in two different play is on my

440
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: piece of paper and I was trying to remember it

441
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 1: off top of my head. Uh, Atlanta was Atlanta allowed

442
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: the sixth most touchdowns. Wide receiver's fifth most receptions yardage

443
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: was pretty middle of the pack, But because of that

444
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: yolo ball ability and Mike Thomas's injury his hamstring, he

445
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: only practiced limited all week. Crystal Love is really only

446
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:21,400
Speaker 1: gonna need one big play, and if there's if Thomas

447
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: doesn't play the full game, he might get a lot

448
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: of work, all right, Uh, Matt, you take a chance

449
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: to me receiver that would be Chase Muddy Waters Claypool.

450
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: Claypool looks destined for slot duties this year if they've

451
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: jettisoned Juju, which means the six four two seven pound

452
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: Chase Claypool We'll match up with five seven pound Mike Hilton.

453
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: That's a mismatch of seven inches and forty pounds. Hilton

454
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: gave up the third most yards in the NFL in

455
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: slot coverage last year, and in Claypool's four career games

456
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: against the Bengals, he had one outstanding game with two

457
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: touchdowns and two other games himes over eighty receiving yards.

458
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: Chase clay is going to be a problem in the

459
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: slot this year. That is a big That is a

460
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: big slot receiver and mostly we thought was a bigot.

461
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 1: Claypool is a big slot Absolutely, that's gonna be an issue.

462
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: My and our final take a chance on me player,

463
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: Mark has Valdez Scantling. You gotta pick your spots here.

464
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: He brings exactly one skill set to the table. Run

465
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: fast and run straight. That's good enough to put mvs

466
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: into the end zone against a very shaky Arizona secondary.

467
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,639
Speaker 1: Over the off season, Arizona lost its best pass rusher,

468
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: Chandler Jones and it's best cornerback, Robert Alford, and what

469
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: remains looks like a deeply flawed Cardinals secondary. Cornerbacks Marco

470
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: Wilson and Byron Murphy were PFF's one ninth ranked cornerbacks

471
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 1: last year, and their other cornerback in is other quarterback

472
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: expect to be journeyman Antonio Hamilton's who has three NFL

473
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: starts to his name. Game and that is it. We'll

474
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 1: move on to our next set of matchups in just

475
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 1: a second. Matt, You've got you've got a new interesting

491
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: already talked about a bunch of Saints here, so why

492
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: don't your piggyback off the Let's go with the rest

493
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: of the guys we haven't talked about yet. Yeah, so Winston, James, Winston,

494
00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 1: and Chris will take a chance on me players. Let's

495
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: go over to Michael Thomas, who I'm only giving a

496
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: C grade too because he hasn't played in two years

497
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 1: and he's dealing with a hamstring injury that has led

498
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: to zero full practices this last week. So if he,

499
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 1: assuming he goes, I've already mentioned Atlanta bottom six in

500
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: most touchdowns, most receptions, yardage, etcetera. Last year. The vast

501
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: majority of that damage was done on the outside, which

502
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:28,199
Speaker 1: could be good for Thomas and lave Um, where they

503
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: ranked second worst than the league. They were actually twelfth

504
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 1: best against the slot last year, which has Landry on

505
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: the bench for me Um. Yeah, this Thomas, if he

506
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: does go, is likely going to Basically Thomas and Lava

507
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: are going to have to deal with a J. Terrell

508
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: and Casey Hayward on the outsides, which is pretty decently

509
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 1: tough matchups. That's why they're getting C grades for me. Uh.

510
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 1: In the running game, Alvin Kamara, I got him with

511
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: an A grade. I do the Falcons allowed the tenth

512
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 1: most rushing yards and the seventh most rushing touchdowns. They

513
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,479
Speaker 1: also allowed the ninth most sceptions in twelve most receiven

514
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: their bottom twelve against running backs in rushing and receiving

515
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: last year prime spot for Camara, who against the Falcons

516
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 1: who had lost their best starting linebacker, Dion Jones, who

517
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: has played stunt I r just recently. UH. He gets

518
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 1: replaced with former undrafted free agent Rashaan Evans, who they

519
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: signed you a one year deal off the Titans, where

520
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 1: he was mostly a part time player. Uh I have

521
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: missed the top ten back this week. He averaged a

522
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: hundred and ten yards and scored five times in his

523
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 1: six full games with Winston last year six. Also, his

524
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: average is a hundred ten yards and basically a touchdown

525
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: per game. Also four catches a game with Winston. Ay

526
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: grade there over on Atlanta side. Honestly, there isn't a

527
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 1: lot for me to start. I have Marriotta on the bench.

528
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 1: I need to see how he runs that offense. And

529
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 1: the Saints were a top ten d against fantasy quarterbacks

530
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: last year. UH. They traded Chauncey Gardner Chauncey Gardner Johnson

531
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: lost with their starting safety. He's brought in Tyron Matthews,

532
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 1: so it's a slightly different defense. But in the second

533
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: half of last season, no QB top two hun six

534
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: yards and only had one had multiple touchdown day. I

535
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: got married, Yeah, I got Marriott on the bench. I

536
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: got Drake London on the bench as well, because it's

537
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: gonna be his first game and he also dealing with

538
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: a knee injury that he got in the first preseason game.

539
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: He might remember. It looked really bad, but they were

540
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 1: optimistic about it. But he's still been not practicing and

541
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 1: limited practice and that's all he's been putting in so far.

542
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: He may play, but I can't trust him in this one. Uh.

543
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts, Yeah, I'm I'm probably going to a grade

544
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 1: here just he's the only guy I trust to actually

545
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: make plays here. Uh. He probably just deserves an A

546
00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: grade on talent and scarcity at the tight end position

547
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,040
Speaker 1: this week alone. Uh, adding the fact they'll be trailing

548
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: and uh trailing and the Saints were fourth worst against

549
00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:00,760
Speaker 1: the slot wide receivers last year, Let's put Pitts on

550
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: a grade here. Uh. Cordarrell Patterson and the whole running

551
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 1: game I actually have on the bench. Uh. The Saints

552
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: allowed the fourth fewest rushing yards and they actually allowed

553
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: very few receiving yards to back day the only two

554
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: games they allowed a lot of receiving yards to backs

555
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: where Patterson last year and McCaffrey last year. But they

556
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: stopped using Patterson like that, and I have no faith

557
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: that they're going to bring that back the way they

558
00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: used it last year until I see it. So I

559
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 1: have him on the bench too. You know, one thing

560
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: going back to the Saint side of this that I

561
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: think Bears Bears watching is the status of their left tackle.

562
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: You know, tearing Arms. Armstead left in free agency. His

563
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: backup was Trevor Penning. They got a first round pick

564
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: on two. He's on I R and he's gonna miss

565
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: at least half the season as the expectation. They're down

566
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 1: to a third string guy named James Hurst and he's

567
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: hurt too. This left tackle could be a big problem

568
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,240
Speaker 1: for this whole Saints. This whole Saint's offense more like

569
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 1: left turn style. Maybe that may be the case. That'll

570
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: be something we'll want to watch going up to Sunday

571
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: when we come back. We'll continue motoring through the various

572
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 1: matchups around the NFL, including Patriots taking on the Dolphins.

573
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: Is this the Romandre Stevenson Awakening? Find out when we

574
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: come back Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly.

575
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 1: Paul Charchy and Scott Fish and Matt Harrison with you.

576

Speaker 1: You can follow us on Twitter at Paul Charchy and

577
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: at Scott Fish twenty four and at Explosive Output. Yeah,

578
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: and we're still making fresh, brand new hot off the

579
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: Press's Guillotine League. It's not too late to jump into

580
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 1: a guillotine league. You know the format, you know how

581
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 1: it works. A teen team start the season. Every week,

582
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: the low scoring team gets cut. There's no head to

583
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: head play, and when that team gets cut, all of

584
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: their players go to the waiver wire and pandemonium ensues.

585
00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,840
Speaker 1: Well done, Scott Fish, and you get to build a

586
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:17,120
Speaker 1: superstar lineup. All you have to do is not finished last.

587
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: You don't have to be the best, just don't be

588
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: the worst. You can keep joining guilloteen leagues well into

589
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 1: the season two because it just changes the amount of

590
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 1: people in the will start after week one, We'll start

591
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 1: seventeen team Guillotine League and sixteen, and so on and

592
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: so forth. Absolutely, let's go to our next matchup, which

593
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 1: is the Patriots at the Dolphins, and there's a sneaky

594
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:41,719
Speaker 1: revenge a angle a Brian Johnson patented revenge le depended.

595
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: He got the patent. That's good, It's I think it's

596
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: that impending. Obviously, we're gonna start with the Davante Parker

597
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: revenge game. He's on the bench as he most likely

598
00:32:55,080 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: will draw his former teammates Avian Howard for most of

599
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: the game, and Howard is one of the better shut

600
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: down corners in the league, and he's the only one

601
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: Miami has. If he flex into the slot, you'll find

602
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: Jacoby Myers facing off against Nick need Um, who allowed

603
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 1: seventy of his passes and coverage should be caught last year.

604
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: Myers was targeted seventeen times in the two meetings with

605
00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: the Dolphins last year, and I think that volume could

606
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: be expected again. So I'll give Myers a C grade.

607
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry could be a desperation start if you're missing

608
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 1: a guy like George Kittle. This week, in his last

609
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 1: meeting with the Dolphins, he was able to go for

610
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: five catches and eighties six yards and and of course

611
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: he did score nine times last year times fascinating, so

612
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 1: I can give him a low grade. See, let's see

613
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: if all the preseason talk about integrating John new Smith

614
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: more into this offense actually comes to life. I don't

615
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: believe that will happen at all. Okay, Mac Jones is

616
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,240
Speaker 1: on the bench. Nobody like what they saw from Jones

617
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: in the preseason. He didn't put up huge numbers against

618
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: the Finns last year either. Plus, every quarterback in the

619
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: league is healthy right now, so you're starting someone else.

620
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:06,959
Speaker 1: Ramandre Stevenson and Damien Harris both get a B from me.

621
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: Both will probably see in the neighborhood of fourteen to

622
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 1: fifteen touches unless time Montgomery just bombs the whole thing

623
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: and becomes the past catching um. So Harris scored an

624
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: eight of nine games last year when getting fourteen touches

625
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: are more. Stevenson scored in two of three games last

626
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,879
Speaker 1: year when getting fourteen touches are more. All indications point

627
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,399
Speaker 1: to the Pats running the ball at least seventy five

628
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 1: times per game, So this seems like a lock. That is, Yeah,

629
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 1: that's all their place of them. Uh Tyreek Hill and

630
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle on the other side. I'm giving Hill in

631
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 1: a waddle B. Waddle returned to practice earlier in the

632
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: week and seems ready to go. It looks like he'll

633
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: match up most often with Jonathan Jones, who is New

634
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: England's weakest cover corner according to Pro Football Focus. Last year.

635
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 1: Hill moved around a lot in Kansas City, and I

636
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,800
Speaker 1: expect him to be deploy boyd in even crazier ways

637
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: in Miami. He'll match up with Jalen Mills for the

638
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,760
Speaker 1: most part. He's a better run stopper than a cover corner.

639
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: He's also slow, and Tyreek Kill is not correct. I'm

640
00:35:12,560 --> 00:35:15,360
Speaker 1: leaving Mike Gasicki on the bench though. Pat safety Kyle

641
00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 1: Dugger does most of the tight end coverage and he's

642
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 1: one of the better cover safeties in the league. In

643
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: six career games against New England has only scored once

644
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: and as a high water mark of thirty four yards

645
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 1: to UH he gets a C grade. And with Hill

646
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: getting an A and Waddle getting a B, why does

647
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:33,800
Speaker 1: TWA get the C. Well, it's low depth of target.

648
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,880
Speaker 1: He's reliant on his receiver's breaking big ones. What if

649
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 1: they deploy Hill from the backfield like Debo and five

650
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 1: of us touches our runs and he breaks one of

651
00:35:42,239 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: those and Hill gets the good points there, and TWA

652
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: gets no credit for it. Uh to only top two

653
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: fifty yards once in the final nine games of and

654
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: the New England pass rush is really good, so I

655
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: think two is gonna be under pressure a lot and

656
00:35:57,560 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 1: then uh rahee moster it was might take a chance

657
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: on me runner. There's also the running back situation of

658
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds, Miles Gaskin, Salvin Akhmed. Edmonds popped up on

659
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: the injury report with the groin strain which I mentioned,

660
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:12,239
Speaker 1: but was a full participant. I'm gonna give Edmonds a

661
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 1: C grade because I think he'll catch enough passes to

662
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: be relevant. The Pats allowed the ninth most receptions to

663
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: the running back position last year, so I think he'll

664
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: still be in play in the passing game, but I

665
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: think most are it probably gets more rushing in this game.

666
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 1: Chase Edmonds, that's uh, that'll be if this most the

667
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: thing plays out the way you're describing, that will be

668
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: surprising too many, Yeah, but interesting, probably surprising to everybody.

669
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 1: I'm I'm more on too than you are. But okay,

670
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 1: just planning my flag in that. Uh, let's go to

671
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: the Ravens taking on the Jets. This is a gonna

672
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: be a one sided affair and all expectation. Mark Andrews

673
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: is an obvious a Lamar Jackson obviously did not get

674
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,360
Speaker 1: the contract extension on Friday, that deadline, that self imposed

675
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: deadline has passed, and it appears, unless something changes, that

676
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,399
Speaker 1: he's headed to free agency in the off season. Oh man,

677
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,760
Speaker 1: he's headed for a franchise tag and a possible trade

678
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:09,760
Speaker 1: that's possible in time. Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner will probably

679
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,919
Speaker 1: help a struggling Jets secondary, but in his first NFL game,

680
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 1: I don't think he can overcome all the other problems

681
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: in that Jet secondary. Cornerback DJ Read isn't half bad,

682
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: but Seattle let him walk, which says plenty about dj Read.

683
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: The rest of the secondary's just flying bad. Seattle is

684
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 1: a bad defense if they don't want you bad sign Obviously,

685
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,799
Speaker 1: Jackson will win fantasy matchups with his legs as well,

686
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:34,880
Speaker 1: So a grade on Lamar Jackson already told you that

687
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 1: Mike Davis was might take a chance on me. Running

688
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: back j K Dobbins, let's talk about him for a

689
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:43,880
Speaker 1: minute now, Scott, you've got a theory that j K.

690
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 1: Dobbins may not go in this game. Just lamar statements

691
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: that that he might be a couple of weeks away

692
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: from being ready. I know they's practice limited, and uh,

693
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: there's a chance. I know he's going to be listed

694
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 1: as question. Well, I just I don't see them risking it.

695
00:37:56,640 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 1: Let's talk about I. I think Dobbins gets six, eight,

696
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 1: maybe ten touches. I think he's active and he gets

697
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 1: if he is active, it won't be a lot. And

698
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: I think the safe approach is to just take a

699
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 1: week to wait and see on JK. Dobbins. But I

700
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: think if all those dunks he made on the media

701
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 1: actually emotionally, I think he's out that if if Dobbins

702
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: is active, I believe he plays in this game, because

703
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,720
Speaker 1: why not otherwise just leave him inactive so he's active,

704
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: then you can and you think eight touches can help you,

705
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,120
Speaker 1: that might be enough for a C grade Against the

706
00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 1: Jets terrible run defenses I outlined earlier, Rashad Bateman gets

707
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 1: a B. The Jet secondary was great at as the

708
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: third worst unit by full Pro Football Focus last season.

709
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:43,680
Speaker 1: A lot of as I mentioned, Sauce Gardner, Gardner super fast,

710
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: uh tall, But Bateman should have the edge against a

711
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,360
Speaker 1: rookie making his first ever start, So we'll give a

712
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: B grade to Rashad Bateman as the only other target

713
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:54,720
Speaker 1: that seems likely to get any action here. And speaking

714
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: of likely, Isaiah Likely, I have to start him did

715
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: I'm doing the same thing because Kidles is Kidles a

716
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: problem for a lot of people. Isaiah Likely is a

717
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: is a frequent pivot. Many of us believe, and I'm

718
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: in this group that he's going to be a designated

719
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 1: A tight end. But he's going to stand up in

720
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 1: the slot a lot and there's not any other receivers.

721
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: He mini Kyle Pitts, I think he is. He's a

722
00:39:20,200 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 1: slightly smaller version of Kyle Pitts, and I I can't

723
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: put his I can't put a letter grade on him.

724
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:29,560
Speaker 1: I've got Isaiah Likely on the bench Andlation I can't.

725
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 1: But he's on the bench. But I'm we're still gonna

726
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 1: watch Isaiah Likely very closely here. Uh. Jet side, Joe

727
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: Flacco gets the start, and he has a C grade

728
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: here undrafted in most leagues, quasi viable, maybe just for

729
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 1: garbage time and his last three starts all with the Jets,

730
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,240
Speaker 1: by the way, spanning the last two seasons. Joe Flacco

731
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:48,880
Speaker 1: to two and three touchdowns in his last three starts.

732
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: Ravens middle to pac defense and middle to pack pass

733
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: rush defense. UM I am worried about his blindside left

734
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: tackle is a real issue. Who McKay Beckton is out

735
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: in his backup? Who they signed Dwayne Brown looks like

736
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: a question mark to play with the shoulder injury, so

737
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: that could be a problem for Flacco. But garbage time

738
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: should ensue here. And I like Elijah Moore with a

739
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 1: B grade finished last year they dominating December. You may

740
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 1: recall runs from all over the field, so the Jets

741
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: can scheme him towards the Ravens worst cornerback last year

742
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: that was Kyle Fuller. But he's also going to see

743
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,319
Speaker 1: some of the veterans Marlon Humphrey and Marcus Peters and

744
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 1: really just lukewarm about those matchups. Peter's missed all of

745
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,200
Speaker 1: last year with injury. Um although it's been pretty good

746
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 1: prior to that, but still comes off him could be

747
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 1: rusty in this game. I like Elijah Moore at a

748
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: B grade level. UM I don't have any starting grades

749
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 1: on any of the other receivers, including rookie Garrett Wilson.

750
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 1: You could roll the dice on a deep hook up,

751
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 1: and he's got deep speed. But I think I'm just

752
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: gonna watch and wait for a better matchup on him

753
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 1: and see how this thing ends up looking. And to

754
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:54,680
Speaker 1: the running backs, Michael Carter atop the depth chart at

755
00:40:54,760 --> 00:40:57,600
Speaker 1: least for the moment. He's your lead back here, not

756
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: Breece Hall. Quietly by the Michael Carter non sucky on

757
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: a very sucky Jets team. Last year, he was a

758
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus top twenty running back overall. He ranked

759
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: eleventh in yards after contact, third in Pro Football Focuses

760
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:18,439
Speaker 1: elusiveness rating last year. For Michael Carter, um the good

761
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 1: news kind of ends there. Ravens were a top ten

762
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,880
Speaker 1: run defense last year by yards, touchdowns, and PFF grade,

763
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 1: and the game script could easily turn against Carter if

764
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco is not up to the job and they

765
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 1: end up having to pass. So a C grade on

766
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 1: Michael Carter and just a for Breece Hall, just a

767
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: B grade ore, sorry bench grade, because we have to

768
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:40,879
Speaker 1: wait and see until it seems like Michael Carter's Yeah,

769
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: we gotta watch this thing play itself out. So that's

770
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,839
Speaker 1: our that's our current situation with that. We've got about

771
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 1: two minutes left. I don't think we have time to

772
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 1: work in another matchup, but let me if you can

773
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: go quickly, Scott your next it's Brown's Panthers. Yeah on

774
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 1: the brown side. Yeah, on the brown side. Jacoby Purcette

775
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: last year average tune in eighteen yards and a touch,

776
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 1: just under a touchdown a game. You're not starting him

777
00:42:05,080 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 1: against the Carolina defense. That was third against QB, sixth

778
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: against wide receivers, and fifth best against running backs. I

779
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 1: actually have the whole passing game on the bench except

780
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,879
Speaker 1: for Marii Cooper, who I think sees a decent enough

781
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 1: amount of volume as basically the only option. I have

782
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 1: a C grade on him. Nick Chubb I have a

783
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: B grade and Hunt a C grade. The Browns average

784
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:30,280
Speaker 1: thirty two are just under thirty five touches per game,

785
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 1: split about twenty to fifteen between those two. That kind

786
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: of volume against this team, especially with catches out of Hunt,

787
00:42:37,360 --> 00:42:39,040
Speaker 1: gives him a B grade in a segrede. I think

788
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: they get the lead, and I think they run this

789
00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: game on defense and running the ball over. On the

790
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 1: Carolina side, there's a lot better QB options than Mayfield,

791
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: especially against the especially against the Cleveland team that was

792
00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: top ten against quarterbacks last year. I have a B

793
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: grade on DJ Moore. He's just a stud win healthy,

794
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,719
Speaker 1: He's gonna get Greedy Williams or Denzel Award, which is

795
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:02,440
Speaker 1: a top matchup. But Mayfield's gonna target him enough. He's

796
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 1: gonna get enough volume that I have a B grade

797
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: on him. They're just basically on volume. And Christian McCaffrey

798
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: and a Grade Tough five fantasy back four of his

799
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 1: five healthy games last year, and he has proven to

800
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: be almost completely matchup proof when healthy, even against top

801
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 1: ten defenses. Masterful jobs, sneaking that matchup in well done,

802
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: I like Turbo Scott Fish time when all our lives.

803
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 1: We love that well done. When we come back three

804

Speaker 1: when we come back, Three Tough Questions plus will break

00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: down the remaining games, including very pivotal Jaguars at Commanders.

813
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:01,400
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a riveting game. We spend eight to

814
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 1: ten minutes on all the detailed nuances of Jaguar's Commanders.

815
00:44:05,960 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 1: When we come back, Fantasy Football Weekly, our number two

816
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly, Paul Church and Scott Fish and Matt

817
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: Harrison with you. This is a game we like to

818
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 1: call three tough questions. Tough question number one to help

819
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:38,280
Speaker 1: if I had the questions in front of me. Okay,

820
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: tough question number one, blame Yeah, it's all Robbie's fault. Um,

821
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: that's we're gonna go with Robbie's fault. Which falcons running back?

822
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 1: We'll finish with the most fantasy points. Scott and by

823
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 1: the way, the ore let's our last chance. You like

824
00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 1: season long predictions, right, this is this is it. We're

825
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: not gonna do Bears. We're not gonna do Bills Rams

826
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: because they already played. Uh So these all three of

827
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: these questions are season long. Although Bills and Rams would

828
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: be good running back questions right now now, I almost

829
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 1: did pivot to some of those. Uh, Which Falcons running

830
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:19,320
Speaker 1: back we'll finish with the most Fantasy points? Got pass you? Okay?

831
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:23,359
Speaker 1: I put Cordell Patterson just on hopes they figured out

832
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:26,320
Speaker 1: how to use them again, and he is the listed starter.

833
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: They want to get him more involved in the passing game,

834
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: which in most fantasy leagues they exist right now, have

835
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 1: half her fall PPR, So those receptions are they bring

836
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: him in they have on the goal line. He has

837
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: a lot of usage there. I fear that, and we

838
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 1: thought this all offseason that the Williams was gonna be

839
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 1: the guy early, the early down worker early in the season.

840
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 1: Algier would take over later. I think the fact that

841
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,239
Speaker 1: he's gonna they're gonna split like that and Patterson's gonna

842
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:56,359
Speaker 1: have a role all season makes it Patterson, alright, Matt,

843
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: which Falcons running back is going to finish with the

844
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 1: most Fantasy points? Scott touchedown few, but I got Cordarrel Patterson.

845
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 1: Out Of the top fourteen running backs in PPR scoring

846
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:08,919
Speaker 1: last year, only two finished with fewer than thirty five

847
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:12,319
Speaker 1: receptions on the season, and was only three of the

848
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 1: top fourteen. Patterson had fifty two receptions last year that

849
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,680
Speaker 1: was tied for sixth most among all running backs, and

850
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 1: he finished at the number twelve running back overall. I

851
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: don't see a massive downturn in the reception part of

852
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:28,320
Speaker 1: his game. So unless Tyler l Gier scores thirteen touchdowns, somehow,

853
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 1: I think Patterson's the top Falcon runner. I wanted to

854
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 1: say somebody other than Corderrel Patterson, but I just I

855
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 1: can't make a convincing case for Damien Williams or rookie

856
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 1: Tyler l Gier based on the information we have today. Anyway,

857
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:44,800
Speaker 1: unless unless, unless the Falcons are being super tricky with

858
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: their depth chart and they secretly love Tyler Algier and

859
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 1: they know he's awesome, but they're being crafty and putting

860
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 1: him third on the depth chart. You know what, I

861
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: know a guy really close to this situation, close to Tyler,

862
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:01,759
Speaker 1: and that would be Tyler lg Year, and he drafted

863
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 1: himself so well over Cordarrel Patterson. I don't know that

864
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 1: I check that you should check that we're gonna rule

865
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: out Williams on his fourth team in five years and

866
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 1: for alge years, just nothing. He had a very vanilla

867
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 1: preseason preseason games didn't look special. Nobody talking him up

868
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: through training camp. It just it leaves Patterson, even though

869
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: we all expect less volume than last year in an

870
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 1: effort to keep him productive pass Thanksgiving. But I just

871
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 1: think there's nobody there. I'm gonna mention this. You know,

872
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:32,439
Speaker 1: we all think of him as a pass catching running

873
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 1: back because he played wide receiver the last half of

874
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:37,720
Speaker 1: last year, and he was. He was very good early

875
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: on the last half of last year, which is a

876
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 1: long time by the way, the second half of the

877
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: season he averaged one point eight catches per game. That's it.

878
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: Tough question number two, which Seahawks running back we'll finish

879
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:56,080
Speaker 1: with the most fantasy points? Matt Well ken Walker's returning

880
00:47:56,120 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: from some sort of hernia or maybe not hernia injury.

881
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 1: There be in kind of coy about that. Who knows

882
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:05,240
Speaker 1: how long that'll take for him to return. Rashad Penny

883
00:48:05,360 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 1: isn't injured quite yet, but he's only played six games

884
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 1: in a row twice in his three year career. That

885
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 1: doesn't bode very well, and he's already been injured once

886
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 1: this Yeah, Travis Homer will be their leading rusher in

887
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:21,680
Speaker 1: at least one game this year for sure. Okay, but

888
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Walker because I think that he's

889
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 1: probably gonna be back to full strength by October, which

890
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 1: is about the time that Penny will get hurt, and

891
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,239
Speaker 1: then I think ken Walker never gives the job back.

892
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 1: Scott which Seahawks running back? We'll finish with the most

893
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 1: fantasy points. I put Rashad Penny, but I hate it

894
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:41,920
Speaker 1: um in games he has at least fourteen touches. He

895
00:48:41,960 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 1: has absolutely crushed, averaging over a hundred yards and scoring

896
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 1: it all but one. Uh. As long as he's healthy,

897
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: he's likely to put up numbers. I'm worried about this

898
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 1: injury with Walker when he's going to be ready, if

899
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 1: he's going to be dealing with stuff like that all year.

900
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 1: These are just gross? Why did you do this to us?

901
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 1: They were actually tough, and they were tough. They were

902
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: three gross questions, right, They're not mutually exclusive things gross

903
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:11,359
Speaker 1: and tough? Is that it? Scotty Day? I am also

904
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,359
Speaker 1: a Rashad Penny skeptic. He had the massive surge from

905
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 1: December twelve forward last year, but here are his averages

906
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:24,720
Speaker 1: in Rashad Penny's thirty one games that preceded last December twelve.

907
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 1: Five carries, twenty eight yards and zero point two touchdowns

908
00:49:31,160 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 1: per game. That's it. I'm not buying the recency, and

909
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 1: especially when Penny needs to succeed behind Profoball focuses thirty

910
00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:42,840
Speaker 1: second ranked offensive line. Oh, they're worse than the Bears.

911
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 1: They're worse than the I don't think they actually are,

912
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:48,000
Speaker 1: but profoball focus things they are. The Seahawks first four

913
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 1: games are all against run defenses that finished in the

914
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 1: top half of the league and yards per carried aloud.

915
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 1: So when Penny is ineffective or heard in October, as

916
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,399
Speaker 1: Matt correctly said, Kenneth Walker is going to be healed

917
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:02,399
Speaker 1: from his or whatever and then come back and never

918
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:05,840
Speaker 1: give up the lead, the correct answer is Kenneth Walker.

919
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:13,000
Speaker 1: Whatever which Eagles running back, we'll finish with the most

920
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 1: fantasy points. Scott stop stop. Just an update. Tyler L.

921
00:50:17,440 --> 00:50:19,840
Speaker 1: Gear took himself ten oh one. Patterson went in the

922
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 1: mid seventh. I don't know. I did not take. He

923
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 1: didn't he could have taken. He passed on court. Darry

924
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 1: had seven chances, have seven chances and did not. Uh.

925
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: This one's Miles Sanders for me. I don't want to

926
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,800
Speaker 1: count on them on the Eagles, remembering how he was

927
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 1: used in the past game in twenty nineteen, which was

928
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 1: fifty catches and highly efficient. It's more of a bet

929
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:44,840
Speaker 1: that they said they wanted gad Will involved as a

930
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: past schedule last year and it didn't do it. When

931
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 1: Sanders did go out last year, it was Jordan's Howard

932
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,400
Speaker 1: they picked up a week before and Boston Scott, not

933
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 1: Kenneth Gainwell your accent. No, Uh, Kenneth Gainwell is really

934
00:50:57,480 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 1: more of a part time player in the ASK game

935
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,399
Speaker 1: if he gets those raps in Boston Scott, I really

936
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 1: don't like unless he's playing the Giants ugly split. But

937
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:11,240
Speaker 1: I'm going to slime. Slime also known as Miles Sanders.

938
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: It's an anagram, Matt, which Eagles running back will finish

939
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: with the most Fantasy points. I'm going the other direction.

940
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:21,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say Kenneth Gainwell. I talked up the PPR

941
00:51:21,320 --> 00:51:24,680
Speaker 1: aspect and how important receptions are. Gainwell had more receptions

942
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 1: on much fewer snaps than Miles Sanders last year. Gainwell

943
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 1: is also built better for goalne use. Miles Sanders totaled

944
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 1: negative five yards on five rushing attempts inside the five

945
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 1: last year. Miles Sanders will score a touchdown this year,

946
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 1: but Gainwell will be a major part of that committee.

947
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 1: And seeing how he'll probably catch more passes and he

948
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 1: has a shot at the goal line work, I'll take

949
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 1: Kenny g five ft six Boston Scott seems unlikely to

950
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 1: get continued goal line use unless like you did last year. Uh,

951
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 1: and he doesn't chip in much of anywhere else. Kenneth

952
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 1: Gainwell just did pass the eye test last year, and

953
00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 1: he didn't contribute much via the ground especially and only

954
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:07,200
Speaker 1: modestly through the air. And here's the thing that really

955
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:10,320
Speaker 1: bothered me about gain Well. When I went back and looked,

956
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to sell myself. I wanted the answer to

957
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 1: be coming into this question Kenneth Gainewell, and I wanted

958
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 1: to sell myself on him improving over the course of

959
00:52:19,000 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: his rookie year. But really it was the opposite. In fact,

960
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:26,279
Speaker 1: his snap count went down dramatically in the second half

961
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 1: of the year as he lost faith with his coaching staff.

962
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 1: We gotta follow the snaps and the opportunities, and that's all.

963
00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders, who averaged thirty seven snaps per game, that

964
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 1: was double that of gain Well's and triple that of

965
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:43,720
Speaker 1: Boston Scott's. And now, by the way, the correct answer

966
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 1: is Miles Sanders a totally unsubstantiated theory that has no

967
00:52:48,719 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 1: basis in anything other than me talking off the top

968
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: of my head. The Vikings and the Eagles have already

969
00:52:56,960 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 1: consummated a trade for Alexander Madison and they're waiting for

970
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:06,240
Speaker 1: the Week two game between these two teams to pass. Oh,

971
00:53:06,280 --> 00:53:08,759
Speaker 1: I love it now, I love it so much. Madison.

972
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 1: Madison took a when unexplained and we don't it's the

973
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: second half of the last Thursday. Maybe he found out

974
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 1: about that trade last Thursday or something like that, and

975
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe it wigged him out and he

976
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:22,359
Speaker 1: took a day off. I don't know. Maybe he wanted

977
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:25,799
Speaker 1: to bear, or he had a fantasy draft going on

978
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:30,879
Speaker 1: with Scott Fish. Maybe that was let me check, unsubstantiated

979
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 1: theory of of a trade. But it's out there now.

980
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:38,759
Speaker 1: It's it's basically fact, basically fact. It's right, even though

981
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:41,360
Speaker 1: I have made it very clear the no facts involved

982
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:44,240
Speaker 1: in this at all. Matt Colts take on the Texans

983
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 1: already told us you like me, love Davis Mills in

984
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 1: this love like Davis Mills in this game. Colts in

985
00:53:50,719 --> 00:53:54,480
Speaker 1: the two games combined last year, the score to the

986
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 1: score the combined score in the two games sixty two

987
00:53:57,200 --> 00:54:00,720
Speaker 1: to three. It wasn't good. No, it was not good. Um.

988
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 1: I'll stay on the Texan side to start. Since we

989
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:05,520
Speaker 1: mentioned Davis Mills, he he gets a see, Brandon Cooks

990
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:08,319
Speaker 1: gets a B and Nico gets a C. As well,

991
00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:11,840
Speaker 1: I mentioned Gilmore who should cover Cooks. Mostly I'm not

992
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:14,239
Speaker 1: so sure Cooks at age twenty eight isn't better at

993
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 1: his position than Gilmore at thirty two. To Cook saw

994
00:54:18,360 --> 00:54:23,040
Speaker 1: almost twenty seven percent of mills targets last year. Uh.

995
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:25,880
Speaker 1: Nico Collins plays the slot and he gets burnable. Kenny

996
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 1: Moore gave up the most slot yards and touchdowns last year. Uh.

997
00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 1: The other Texan that we have to mention is Damian Pierce,

998
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:37,520
Speaker 1: and baby, he's like the He's one of the few

999
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:40,960
Speaker 1: rookies that I think is startable this week. Like overall,

1000
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 1: I'm giving him a B grade. The Colts are going

1001
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 1: to be missing All Pro middle linebacker Shaquille Leonard for

1002
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:50,319
Speaker 1: this game. That's a huge loss to that defense and

1003
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:53,560
Speaker 1: Indie looks great overall on paper against the run, but

1004
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:57,480
Speaker 1: last year they allowed double digit PPR fantasy days in

1005
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:00,840
Speaker 1: seven of the last final seven of the final eleven

1006
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:03,640
Speaker 1: games to running backs. And what we saw in the preseason,

1007
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:09,439
Speaker 1: Oh that was good stuff. Uh. He he might be,

1008
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:11,279
Speaker 1: you know, just as good as the running back on

1009
00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 1: the other side, Jonathan Taylor, who gets an obvious A grade.

1010
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 1: By the way, Nahem Hines is startable in a pinch

1011
00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 1: in this one. The Texans were bottom five against running

1012
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:23,400
Speaker 1: backs last year. Hind saw at least six touches in

1013
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:25,919
Speaker 1: four of the last five games against Houston. And they're

1014
00:55:25,920 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 1: talking about Hines getting a lot of work spelling John Taylor,

1015
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:32,640
Speaker 1: you know who drafted nine Himes on his fantasy team.

1016
00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 1: Night head coach Frank Riich. Remember a month, we'll see

1017
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 1: if that pans out. Do you think he'd draft Matt Ryan,

1018
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 1: who I'm giving a B grade two here. Uh. The

1019
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 1: Texans were a bottom ten past defense last year and

1020
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:50,359
Speaker 1: they'll be missing their best cover corner this week. That's

1021
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 1: Tavier Thomas. Matt Ryan loves September and October games. By

1022
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 1: the way, in the past three years he's passed for

1023
00:55:57,160 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 1: over two eight yards or more eighteen times in twenty

1024
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:03,560
Speaker 1: four games. That's very good. You know what happened in

1025
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:08,040
Speaker 1: in November December. Julio Jones was always broken down by then,

1026
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:11,800
Speaker 1: and Calvin Ridley was off the team. So, uh, Michael

1027
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 1: Pittman is the only Cults receiver I'm gonna start, and

1028
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:17,640
Speaker 1: I'm giving him an A grade. Pittman will likely line

1029
00:56:17,719 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 1: up against rookie Derek Stingley Jr. Or Desmond King the

1030
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 1: second and they both might need their dads to come

1031
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:28,600
Speaker 1: help cover Pittman. King was the one hundred and nineties

1032
00:56:28,600 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 1: second ranked cover corner by Pro Football Focus last year.

1033
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,760
Speaker 1: I'm not going to start Alec Pierce or Paris Campbell

1034
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:38,600
Speaker 1: this week. I'd like to see tempting though, isn't it. Yeah,

1035
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:40,839
Speaker 1: I want to see how each is deployed first, But

1036
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 1: it's Pittman. And I don't think there's a league that

1037
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 1: people are in where they're like, I need to start

1038
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:49,560
Speaker 1: Alec Pierce this week because you're not in enough. Yeah,

1039
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:53,920
Speaker 1: I gotta be these week one. These week one decisions

1040
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 1: are tricky. I will say they'll go get him. Premature

1041
00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 1: premature speculation. No, there's a lot of wow, double time

1042
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 1: machine Jaguars taking on the commanders. Let me mention this

1043
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:13,799
Speaker 1: before we dig into the juicy goodness of Jaguars commanders.

1044
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:17,480
Speaker 1: We saw what happened with cam Akers coming off his

1045
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 1: Achilles injury right, totally unused and with a little a

1046
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:24,440
Speaker 1: little action that he got on Thursday night amounted to

1047
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:28,680
Speaker 1: literally nothing. No yards James Robinson is looking at. I

1048
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 1: believe the same kind of thing they will. I think

1049
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 1: they may just try to give him some carries out

1050
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:37,680
Speaker 1: of loyalty. You know, we don't the same thing with Acres,

1051
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 1: you know whatever. I just here's the thing. Travis at

1052
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 1: TNS already roster, So how can you work this to

1053
00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 1: your advantage? I know what it is. It's superpop loop baby.

1054
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:52,560
Speaker 1: Look it's before Sunday free agencies open in most leagues.

1055
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 1: Go get Snoop Connor. Because, if you believe like I do,

1056
00:57:59,880 --> 00:58:02,439
Speaker 1: the James Robinson is not going to work out at

1057
00:58:02,480 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 1: some point in the probably early stages of this this year,

1058
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:08,920
Speaker 1: and maybe even in Week one, like ham Akers, that

1059
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:15,600
Speaker 1: means it's time not yet. Does it also mean streaking

1060
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 1: through the quad? No, it does not. Matter of fact,

1061
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:22,680
Speaker 1: Jaguars side of this, we are not starting Snooper loop. Unfortunately,

1062
00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:25,920
Speaker 1: what I know not yet, but we are starting Travis

1063
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 1: Etten while we're talking about Jaguars running backs. The Commanders

1064
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 1: had one of the best run defenses in the league

1065
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:33,880
Speaker 1: last season, holding opposing running backs to just seventy five

1066
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:37,280
Speaker 1: yards per game. That was fifth lowest on only three

1067
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 1: point eight yards per carry, which is outstanding. Uh. Fortunately,

1068
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 1: Etiens receiving makes them startable here. Last year, Watchington gave

1069
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:49,520
Speaker 1: up a league worst nine receiving touchdowns two running backs,

1070
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 1: and in Doug Peterson's last season in Philadelphia, Miles Sanders

1071
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:56,200
Speaker 1: had his best year, averaging sixteen touches per game. Et

1072
00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:59,400
Speaker 1: Ten Miles Sanders similar skill set. I think some of

1073
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:02,320
Speaker 1: that trans lates. He probably gets plenty of usage here.

1074
00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 1: Travis Etienne a B grade in this game. Let's go

1075
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 1: to the passing side for the Jaguars. Trevor Lawrence was

1076
00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 1: might take a chance on me quarterback. You heard that earlier.

1077
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk gets a B grade. He's got a favorable

1078
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:19,919
Speaker 1: matchup against the Commander's secondary that finished bottom six in receptions,

1079
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 1: yards and touchdowns allowed to opposing receivers. And assuming Christian

1080
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 1: Kirk continues to run predominantly from the slot, he will

1081
00:59:27,440 --> 00:59:31,480
Speaker 1: face second year cornerback Ben st j who surrendered a

1082
00:59:31,520 --> 00:59:35,080
Speaker 1: one hundred fifteen passer rating in seven games as a

1083
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 1: rookie last year. Even if he gets a little better

1084
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:40,280
Speaker 1: on that, Christian Kirk with a nice opportunity from the slot,

1085
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 1: and Marvin Jones gets a C grade. If last year's

1086
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:45,840
Speaker 1: usage holds, Marvin Jones ran most often from the left

1087
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 1: side of the field, which should line him up against

1088
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 1: William Jackson, who finished his Pro football focuses cornerback number

1089
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 1: eight last year Jones. Finally, Jones was starting at a

1090
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 1: hundred twenty times last year. The productivity did not come

1091
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 1: with it. He just turned it into eight hundred yards

1092
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 1: and four touchdowns on a hundred and fifty balls his way.

1093
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 1: But if you figure Lawrence's play gets better in year two,

1094
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:11,760
Speaker 1: if we still get a hundred twenty passes to Marvin Jones,

1095
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:15,160
Speaker 1: it's he'll the efficiency will be better, the numbers will

1096
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 1: be better. I don't think he's gonna get a hundred

1097
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:19,840
Speaker 1: and twenty passes again. He might not, now that Christian

1098
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:21,640
Speaker 1: Kirk is there to sniffen off some of the work,

1099
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:23,760
Speaker 1: but I think he gets close to that. Let's go

1100
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:26,920
Speaker 1: to the Washington side. Antonio Gibson maybe a chip on

1101
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:29,480
Speaker 1: his shoulder after all that preseason talk of him losing

1102
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 1: his job or you know, him getting moved to special teams.

1103
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 1: The Jaguars are generous to running backs on the ground.

1104
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 1: In particular, Jacksonville allowed the eleventh most rushing yards and

1105
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 1: the fifth most rushing touchdowns to running backs last year.

1106
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 1: They had a bottom three defensive line according to Pro

1107
01:00:44,400 --> 01:00:47,520
Speaker 1: Football Focus, and Gibson's gonna get all the rushing work here.

1108
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 1: The passing down work will go to j D McKissick.

1109
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:52,280
Speaker 1: By the way, Gibson with a B grade. J D

1110
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 1: mckissic with a C grade. Last year, January is shockingly

1111
01:00:56,320 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 1: good against receiving running backs, finishing fifth best in receptions,

1112
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:04,200
Speaker 1: sixth best in yards, and number one in touchdowns allowed,

1113
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 1: but just one. Jaguars additions of two first round picks

1114
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:10,160
Speaker 1: at edge linebacker Trayvon Walker and Devin Lloyd suggests they

1115
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:13,080
Speaker 1: can maintain that. So, just to see, you know what,

1116
01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 1: I'm moving m kissick to a bench forget I talked

1117
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 1: to myself into benching him. In fact, I'm literally moving

1118
01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 1: him down to the bench area of my notes right now.

1119
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:23,360
Speaker 1: J D. McKissick. You're on the bench. Let's go to

1120
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 1: the passing game. Carson Wentz for a bad quarterback. He

1121
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:31,840
Speaker 1: was a shockingly competent fantasy producer last year, scoring in

1122
01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 1: fifteen of seventeen games, multiple touchdowns and over half his games.

1123
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:42,959
Speaker 1: But Carson wentz inexplicable kryptonite was the Jaguars. That's true.

1124
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 1: He posted miserable numbers in the two meetings last year,

1125
01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 1: hundred eighty yards and a hundred eighty five yards, zero

1126
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:51,600
Speaker 1: touchdowns in one game, one touchdown in the other game.

1127
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 1: This is kind of like a weird revenge game angle.

1128
01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:58,160
Speaker 1: It's very much of revenge game for him. Brian would

1129
01:01:58,160 --> 01:02:00,919
Speaker 1: come up with a new adjective for it. Keep in mind,

1130
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:02,920
Speaker 1: by the way, people for me have forgotten, the Colts

1131
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:05,840
Speaker 1: were winning in versus the Jaguars in Week eighteen of

1132
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 1: last year, and they lost to the Jaguars, who were

1133
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 1: in the middle of an eight game losing streak. For Wentz,

1134
01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 1: this is very much a revenge game. Uh. John Dotson

1135
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 1: a C grade. The rookie will start the game, but

1136
01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:20,400
Speaker 1: his role is unclear. And it's been since Art Monk

1137
01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 1: and Gary Clarkson's Washington has reliably fled fed to fantasy

1138
01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 1: wide outs here. Ditto for Carson Wentz. You know what,

1139
01:02:26,880 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 1: I'm moving him to the bench to John I talked

1140
01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:32,200
Speaker 1: myself into benching him to John doubtson bench. Let's go

1141
01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 1: to the only receiver that you really care about, and

1142
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 1: that's Ty McLaren. McLaren's new quarterback. Carson Wentz posted the

1143
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 1: seventh highest PF grade under pressure last year. So even

1144
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:47,640
Speaker 1: if the commander's line is as bad as we think

1145
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna be, white Men's might be okay and able

1146
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:53,840
Speaker 1: to still help feed McLaurin here. Second year cornerback Tyson

1147
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:57,560
Speaker 1: Campbell has been a training camp stand out, but McLaren

1148
01:02:57,600 --> 01:03:00,160
Speaker 1: will test Campbell's and Shack Griffin's propensity to of a

1149
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 1: big plays in Indy. Wentz was laser focused on one target,

1150
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman, his number one go to receiver. That's clearly

1151
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:11,920
Speaker 1: Terry McLaurin in this offense, and the numbers should be

1152
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 1: there for him in a B grade on Terry McLaurin.

1153
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:17,160
Speaker 1: Last guy I'm gonna mention is Logan Thomas. It's his

1154
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:19,440
Speaker 1: first game off of a reconstructed a c L and

1155
01:03:19,600 --> 01:03:22,000
Speaker 1: m c L. We will sit him on the bench

1156
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 1: and we will watch and see what happens with him.

1157
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 1: All right, I think maybe we have time to sneak

1158
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 1: in one more. No, nope, okay, all right, let's let's not.

1159
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 1: We'll move it to the next We'll move it to

1160
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 1: the next. Break that happens sometimes Giants tightened so much

1161
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 1: to unpack it nearly needs its own segment. I think

1162
01:03:43,240 --> 01:03:45,680
Speaker 1: to get to the bottom of everything that Daniel Jones

1163
01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:47,320
Speaker 1: is going to bring to the table, all of the

1164
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:51,520
Speaker 1: three starters had to I'm surprised between both teams, you

1165
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:54,479
Speaker 1: have three between both teams. It's not it's not gonna

1166
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:57,919
Speaker 1: be great Giants Titans. When we come back, we'll break

1167
01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:02,080
Speaker 1: that matchup down along with Steelerspango, Packers, Vikings More Fantasy

1173
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 1: let's get back into the matchups, beginning with Giants at

1174
01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:37,120
Speaker 1: Titans Scott last segment. You said you only have three

1175
01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:41,400
Speaker 1: starters between both teams, and Derrick Henry's one of them.

1176
01:04:41,480 --> 01:04:44,040
Speaker 1: So who does that leave anybody on the Giants at all?

1177
01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:47,960
Speaker 1: The only I I have on the Giants I have

1178
01:04:48,160 --> 01:04:52,120
Speaker 1: a B grade on Kwan Parkley. We're starting Barkley the Titans,

1179
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:54,880
Speaker 1: I mean on the bedside. Titans were surprising the second

1180
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 1: best against fantasy running backs last year, allowing the second

1181
01:04:57,320 --> 01:04:59,560
Speaker 1: fewest rushing yards and only three point eight yards per

1182
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:03,960
Speaker 1: Gary uh just ten total running back touchdowns, but rushing

1183
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:07,920
Speaker 1: and receiving combined, they went back to middle of the pack. Um,

1184
01:05:07,960 --> 01:05:10,120
Speaker 1: you're starting Barkley. It's not a great matchup, but he

1185
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:12,280
Speaker 1: should get most of the work in this one. We're

1186
01:05:12,320 --> 01:05:15,919
Speaker 1: talking a twenty twenty plus touch guy, So he gets

1187
01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:18,200
Speaker 1: a B grade there and in probably a tougher matchup

1188
01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 1: in the passing game, I have Jones on the bench.

1189
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 1: You're I mean you were gonna start Jones anyway? You're

1190
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:27,560
Speaker 1: not starting Daniel Jones with all the quarterbacks out there.

1191
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 1: But it's of note that the Titans allowed one passing

1192
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:34,760
Speaker 1: touchdowns in seventeen games last year. That's not a lot,

1193
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 1: and nine of them came from Murray, Wilson and Allen

1194
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:43,360
Speaker 1: so everybody else, everybody else was going zero or one.

1195
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:47,880
Speaker 1: Jones qualifies for the everybody else. Uh Canarius Tony I

1196
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:51,040
Speaker 1: have a C grade because he's been he's holly healthy

1197
01:05:51,040 --> 01:05:55,960
Speaker 1: and fully practicing. Now, um he moves around. Uh Sterling

1198
01:05:56,040 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 1: Shephard isn't in practicing fully. He's coming off that Achilles injury.

1199
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:03,160
Speaker 1: Kenny Holiday, I'm convinced is now just a Mandela fact.

1200
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:10,280
Speaker 1: We're pretty sure Getty Alladay existed, but right, Um, but

1201
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 1: they moved him all around. And the Titans were worst

1202
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:15,880
Speaker 1: in the NFL against the slot last year, which Tony

1203
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,680
Speaker 1: sometimes goes there. One Deale Robinson could have some sneaky

1204
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:21,080
Speaker 1: volume there. He was a high volume guy in college.

1205
01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:23,600
Speaker 1: I wouldn't start him. I'm just saying, keep in your head.

1206
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:27,080
Speaker 1: But see great on Tony. On the other side the Titans,

1207
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:29,520
Speaker 1: I have Tannehill on the bench too. He's going to

1208
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 1: be to take a chance on me quarterback to type

1209
01:06:31,720 --> 01:06:34,680
Speaker 1: a lot this year, I don't think it is here. Um.

1210
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:37,080
Speaker 1: Last year he only had three games over two hundred

1211
01:06:37,080 --> 01:06:40,160
Speaker 1: and seventy yards. Uh. He saved you with the rushing touchdowns.

1212
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:44,640
Speaker 1: He has seven touchdowns and he's been consistent yet seventh

1213
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:48,840
Speaker 1: the year before to Yeah, but so fu exactly what

1214
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:52,800
Speaker 1: I wrote. It's really hard to predict things like that. Uh.

1215
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 1: So I have almost the entire passing Gabe on the

1216
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:59,680
Speaker 1: bench for a few reasons. Westbrook, a Keen ankle Breaker, Phillips,

1217
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:03,400
Speaker 1: Austin Hooper. You can't trust them. Uh Robert Woods is

1218
01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 1: coming off at torn A c on November and did

1219
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:09,000
Speaker 1: he somehow came back from already and he's practicing folly

1220
01:07:09,240 --> 01:07:11,640
Speaker 1: but he may see shadow coverage from a Dorry Jackson.

1221
01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:15,160
Speaker 1: I'm not starting him with confidence. Trail on Burke's I'm

1222
01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:17,360
Speaker 1: a fan of Burks, loved what is on college. He

1223
01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 1: was like my one A one B coming out of college.

1224
01:07:20,080 --> 01:07:23,120
Speaker 1: But between the way, the asthma, the up and down preseason,

1225
01:07:23,880 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 1: I can't start him here with any confidence until I

1226
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 1: see how he plays. He should. If a Dorry Jackson

1227
01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:31,640
Speaker 1: covers Woods, maybe he gets you know, maybe he gets

1228
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 1: a good match up there. But I have him on

1229
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:36,360
Speaker 1: the bench to the guy. Only guy I'm starting on

1230
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:40,360
Speaker 1: the Titans is Derrick Henry, who averaged twenty seven touches

1231
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:43,320
Speaker 1: per game early in the season before that injury that

1232
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:45,800
Speaker 1: he ended up caming coming back from and they went

1233
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:48,560
Speaker 1: right back to that. Uh So an a grade on

1234
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:52,080
Speaker 1: a guy who's gonna get twenty five plus touches against

1235
01:07:52,080 --> 01:07:54,960
Speaker 1: a team who gave up the sixth most explosive plays

1236
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:57,160
Speaker 1: to running backs last year. All it takes is one

1237
01:07:57,240 --> 01:07:59,240
Speaker 1: or two of those twenty five touches and you've got

1238
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:01,440
Speaker 1: a good game out of Henry. I don't think he

1239
01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:04,880
Speaker 1: gets twenty seven anymore. I think those days are probably

1240
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:06,880
Speaker 1: You don't think they run him down. I don't. I

1241
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:08,520
Speaker 1: think they're going to be a little more careful. Who

1242
01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 1: who Who's Who's getting at that? Dontrell Hilliard is a

1243
01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:16,880
Speaker 1: sneaky He's a sneaky should be on rosters. Haskins Son, Haskins,

1244
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:20,519
Speaker 1: I think it's Hilliard. Um, I've been a fan since

1245
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:23,960
Speaker 1: the days in Cleveland. Okay, Steelers take on the Bengals,

1246
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:27,439
Speaker 1: Matt this is uh this is. This has turned into

1247
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:31,160
Speaker 1: a fairly sizeable rivalry now that the Bengals are are

1248
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:34,320
Speaker 1: good and the Steelers are struggling. Yeah, we're gonna start

1249
01:08:34,360 --> 01:08:37,559
Speaker 1: with Deonte Johnson here. He had a shoulder injury that

1250
01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:40,479
Speaker 1: limited his practice availability for most of the week, but

1251
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:43,240
Speaker 1: he was a full participant on Thursday, and it looks

1252
01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:46,000
Speaker 1: like he's going to play. It was a shoulder sprain

1253
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:49,240
Speaker 1: from the last preseason game. He'll likely draw a combo

1254
01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:52,719
Speaker 1: of Eli Apple, who's settled in as an average NFL corner,

1255
01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:56,639
Speaker 1: and the semi elite Hidobe Woozy, a who graded out

1256
01:08:56,680 --> 01:09:00,320
Speaker 1: as Pro Football Focuses Number fourteen corner last year. With

1257
01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:03,720
Speaker 1: that said and the spraying shoulder, I'm downgrading Deonte to

1258
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:05,519
Speaker 1: a C grade in this one. I just got to

1259
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:08,280
Speaker 1: see if he can get through it. Um. If Johnson

1260
01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:10,720
Speaker 1: is a surprise scratch on Sunday, I'd probably put a

1261
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:13,920
Speaker 1: circle around or a plus sign next to each of

1262
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:17,600
Speaker 1: these other wide receivers and their letter grades. Maybe I

1263
01:09:17,600 --> 01:09:21,280
Speaker 1: don't know, George Pickens and Chase Claypool. Claypool was might

1264
01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:23,559
Speaker 1: take a chance on the wide receiver. He gets a

1265
01:09:23,600 --> 01:09:26,960
Speaker 1: B grade. I'll give Pickens a C this week. I

1266
01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:29,040
Speaker 1: think he'll see a high snap count, but as I

1267
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:32,880
Speaker 1: mentioned before, he'll see the A Woozier Apple combo on

1268
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:36,360
Speaker 1: the perimeter, so a tough start for him. Pat fryar

1269
01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:39,360
Speaker 1: Muth gets a B grade. He scored in both meetings

1270
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:41,920
Speaker 1: against the Bengals last year. And since he was bottom

1271
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:45,160
Speaker 1: six and tight end receptions yards and touchdowns allowed last year.

1272
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:48,200
Speaker 1: Mitch Drubisky, I'm gonna keep him on the bench, but

1273
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:50,400
Speaker 1: he was very close to like take a chance on

1274
01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:53,400
Speaker 1: me style C grade. Uh, the offensive line just worries

1275
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:56,639
Speaker 1: me deonte status. Everyone else in the league is healthy

1276
01:09:56,680 --> 01:09:58,880
Speaker 1: and you have to bench some quarterbacks. So true Whisky

1277
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:03,800
Speaker 1: is on your bench, somebody's gotta be Yeah, it's gotta

1278
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:07,080
Speaker 1: be right. You know what. That's a sad trombone ski

1279
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:10,800
Speaker 1: right there. Uh, Naji Harris, I'm giving him a B

1280
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:13,960
Speaker 1: grade in it. In the first meeting with the Bengals

1281
01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:17,519
Speaker 1: last year, Harris caught fourteen passes for a hundred and

1282
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:22,000
Speaker 1: two yards on nineteen targets, but they bottled him up

1283
01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:24,919
Speaker 1: in the second game. In the second meeting, the Bengals

1284
01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:28,519
Speaker 1: held him to almost nothing eleven touches for thirty seven yards.

1285
01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:31,120
Speaker 1: I think you two or three rushes over twenty yards

1286
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:34,080
Speaker 1: all year too. Yeah, it's gonna be a weird year

1287
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:36,639
Speaker 1: for Naji. Joe Mixon. On the other side, he gets

1288
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:39,479
Speaker 1: an a the Steelers weak spot on defenses against the run.

1289
01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:43,200
Speaker 1: Last time mixing saw the steel Curtain carries a hundred

1290
01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:46,920
Speaker 1: and sixty five yards and two scores. The wide receiver

1291
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:50,320
Speaker 1: group of Chase Higgins and Boyd. All of them get

1292
01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:55,080
Speaker 1: a B grade, including Boyd. Including boy please well, Chasing

1293
01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:57,439
Speaker 1: Higgins move around a fair amount, so both should see

1294
01:10:57,439 --> 01:11:00,720
Speaker 1: the coverage of top corner a Kello Witherspoon, who gave

1295
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:03,800
Speaker 1: up only sixteen receptions last year in the nine games

1296
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:07,000
Speaker 1: he played. On the other side, they'll see the very

1297
01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:09,800
Speaker 1: ordinary Levi Wallace, and that's where Joe Burrow is going

1298
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:12,559
Speaker 1: to be attacking. Boyd gets the B because he plays

1299
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:16,840
Speaker 1: from the slot and Arthur Mallet will be covering him.

1300
01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:20,920
Speaker 1: Mallets allowed a passer rating of one eighteen in his

1301
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:23,760
Speaker 1: coverage last year. With all that said, Joe Burrow gets

1302
01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:25,840
Speaker 1: a B grade. I like all of his receivers, so

1303
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:27,800
Speaker 1: I gotta like the thrower at least a little bit

1304
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:30,880
Speaker 1: worth noting. In both meetings last year, though, Burrow was

1305
01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:34,799
Speaker 1: held to under two yards passing. But I'm still not scared.

1306
01:11:35,360 --> 01:11:37,120
Speaker 1: I think a B grades fine, but I think Joe

1307
01:11:37,160 --> 01:11:39,320
Speaker 1: Mixon just goes nuts in this game. I'm kind of

1308
01:11:39,320 --> 01:11:40,800
Speaker 1: with you. I'm not I'm kind of with you. I

1309
01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:43,360
Speaker 1: had Joe Mixon right number two on my preseason cheat sheet,

1310
01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:46,479
Speaker 1: and you got him in your weekly rankings this week.

1311
01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:48,080
Speaker 1: It's got to be up there, you know. I don't

1312
01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:49,640
Speaker 1: know off top of my head. I'm sure it is

1313
01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:52,920
Speaker 1: up there. If you're listening, you can find you can

1314
01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:54,559
Speaker 1: look for yourself. I'm sure it is. I'm sure it

1315
01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:57,639
Speaker 1: is a top five ish ranking for Joe Mixon Vikings

1316
01:11:57,680 --> 01:12:00,960
Speaker 1: and Packers another rivalry game. Viking is trying to employ

1317
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:04,680
Speaker 1: an entirely new three four scheme on defense, mostly with

1318
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:07,720
Speaker 1: the same four three personnel they had last year, and

1319
01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:10,200
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be some moments of discombobulation for

1320
01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:13,160
Speaker 1: the Vikings. But while we're talking about the Packers and

1321
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:15,280
Speaker 1: their chances to take advantage of that, also checking the

1322
01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:19,280
Speaker 1: status they're offensive line el Elton Jenkins and David bakti

1323
01:12:20,280 --> 01:12:23,439
Speaker 1: Um are both unknowns at the time of at the

1324
01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:25,360
Speaker 1: time of our taping here on Friday, so we don't

1325
01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:26,800
Speaker 1: know for sure if they're gonna be able to go.

1326
01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:29,720
Speaker 1: Hopefully that will be the case for the sake of

1327
01:12:29,760 --> 01:12:34,120
Speaker 1: the Packers. Um, Aaron Jones and A J. Dillon. Let's

1328
01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:37,240
Speaker 1: start there. The Vikings are a bad run defense last year,

1329
01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:41,400
Speaker 1: but the offseason edition of Buffalo defensive tackle Harrison Phillips

1330
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:45,040
Speaker 1: should help. He was Pro Football focuses fifth ranked run

1331
01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:49,080
Speaker 1: stuffer last year and in the past years when Davante

1332
01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:51,800
Speaker 1: Adams miss games, Jones saw a big workload Spike and

1333
01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:54,200
Speaker 1: the Runners did in general. Um and I think he

1334
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:56,200
Speaker 1: gets a big workload here, but he shares with A J.

1335
01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:59,479
Speaker 1: Dillon and perhaps almost evenly in this game. In two

1336
01:12:59,479 --> 01:13:03,439
Speaker 1: games a Insta Minnesota last season, A J. Dillon wrecked

1337
01:13:03,520 --> 01:13:07,519
Speaker 1: up thirty three touches, a hundred eighty yards and two scores. Now, granted,

1338
01:13:07,520 --> 01:13:09,280
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones was out for one of those two games,

1339
01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:12,759
Speaker 1: but still very impressive numbers against the Vikings. For A J. Dillon,

1340
01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:16,360
Speaker 1: I prefer Jones because of his PPR upside, but Dylan's

1341
01:13:16,360 --> 01:13:18,200
Speaker 1: gonna see plenty of work as well. Both of them

1342
01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:22,599
Speaker 1: be grades in this game. For Aaron Rodgers, I've got

1343
01:13:22,640 --> 01:13:25,280
Speaker 1: just the C grade on him. With Alan Lazard not

1344
01:13:25,400 --> 01:13:28,639
Speaker 1: expected to play, he's doubtful for this game. Rogers starting

1345
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:33,599
Speaker 1: wide receivers are Sammy Watkins, Romeo Dobbs, and Randall Cobb.

1346
01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:37,760
Speaker 1: And maybe you know, we don't know for sure the

1347
01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:39,960
Speaker 1: status of what we could possibly get out of Robert

1348
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:42,760
Speaker 1: Tony in It looks like he's gonna go, but he's

1349
01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:44,760
Speaker 1: gonna give you coming off a c L. I just

1350
01:13:44,800 --> 01:13:47,680
Speaker 1: think there's not enough talent here. Aaron Rodgers is great, obviously,

1351
01:13:47,800 --> 01:13:50,360
Speaker 1: and the matchups a fine one for him, but I

1352
01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:52,240
Speaker 1: worry about all these receivers. I think you may have

1353
01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:54,360
Speaker 1: better options than Aaron Rodgers in this game, just to

1354
01:13:54,439 --> 01:13:57,840
Speaker 1: ce grade for him, Sammy Watkins, C grade your legendary

1355
01:13:58,040 --> 01:14:05,640
Speaker 1: Week one performer, Sammy Watkins last three Week ones combined

1356
01:14:05,760 --> 01:14:09,720
Speaker 1: for twenty catches, almost four hundred yards and three touchdowns.

1357
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:12,920
Speaker 1: That sounds good that we'll take a third of that

1358
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:16,519
Speaker 1: if Lazard. With Lazard out, Watkins looks like an every

1359
01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:20,439
Speaker 1: down receiver. Minnesota returns the same starting cornerbacks last from

1360
01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:23,000
Speaker 1: last season, Patrick Peterson and Cam Cam Danceler, and they're

1361
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:25,479
Speaker 1: hardly shutdown guys. If you're ever gonna start Sammy Watkins

1362
01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:28,840
Speaker 1: literally ever again for the rest of your life. Week

1363
01:14:28,840 --> 01:14:31,519
Speaker 1: one matchup against the Vikings with Lound Lazard out is

1364
01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:36,120
Speaker 1: as good as it gets. So Sammy Watkins in Romeo Daubs,

1365
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:41,639
Speaker 1: you're presumed starter that I mentioned earlier again exploitable matchups

1366
01:14:41,680 --> 01:14:43,280
Speaker 1: and I can see them trying to get the rookie

1367
01:14:43,280 --> 01:14:46,160
Speaker 1: cook in early. Maybe built some confidence here. If you

1368
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:48,479
Speaker 1: a lot of people say, you know, you gotta show

1369
01:14:48,479 --> 01:14:50,320
Speaker 1: me first. I think this is a good opportunity for

1370
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:52,040
Speaker 1: Romeo Dobbs and I've gotta see great on him and

1371
01:14:52,080 --> 01:14:53,600
Speaker 1: let's see what happens with him. Let's go to the

1372
01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:57,559
Speaker 1: Viking side, dalking obvious a. Kirk Cousins brings the NFL's

1373
01:14:57,600 --> 01:15:02,280
Speaker 1: longest touchdown streak into this game. Third one games, lots

1374
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:04,360
Speaker 1: of passes coming in this game. Green Bay was one

1375
01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:07,759
Speaker 1: of eight teams to yield an opponent passing play north

1376
01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:11,800
Speaker 1: of six and Kevin O'Connell almost certainly is going to

1377
01:15:12,040 --> 01:15:17,240
Speaker 1: employ more pass heavy UH scheme than Mike Zimmer did.

1378
01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:20,840
Speaker 1: And so yeah, Cousins B grade in this game. This

1379
01:15:20,920 --> 01:15:23,680
Speaker 1: is a very good green Bay secondary um and they

1380
01:15:23,720 --> 01:15:26,160
Speaker 1: can get to the quarterback. But Kirk Cousins actually very

1381
01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 1: good in when pressured. Will will continue with him on

1382
01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:31,680
Speaker 1: a B grade. Justin Jefferson obviously a grade, but let

1383
01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:34,479
Speaker 1: me just mention Jerry Alexander is no picnic and that

1384
01:15:34,600 --> 01:15:37,559
Speaker 1: is a tough one on one matchup. Still, Jefferson was

1385
01:15:37,640 --> 01:15:43,360
Speaker 1: very good against this team last year, but also Alexander

1386
01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:46,040
Speaker 1: did not play in one of the two Viking games

1387
01:15:46,120 --> 01:15:48,600
Speaker 1: last season, So if somebody tries to sell you on

1388
01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:51,040
Speaker 1: the eight hundred sixty two and two line that Justin

1389
01:15:51,080 --> 01:15:53,880
Speaker 1: Jefferson put up against the Packers last year, note that

1390
01:15:53,880 --> 01:15:57,920
Speaker 1: Alexander did not play in that game. Adam Feeling also

1391
01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:01,400
Speaker 1: a B grade. Feeling gets more of Eric Stokes in

1392
01:16:01,439 --> 01:16:05,080
Speaker 1: this game coming off a promising rookie year. Still advantage

1393
01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:07,160
Speaker 1: of the veteran who had ten touchdowns in eleven games

1394
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:10,080
Speaker 1: last year, including scoring in this matchup last year. BE

1395
01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:14,160
Speaker 1: grade for Adam Feeling and a C grade for kJ Osborne.

1396
01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 1: He will see a lot of Russell Douglas in the slot.

1397
01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:19,000
Speaker 1: Douglas had a long NFL career, virtually none of it

1398
01:16:19,040 --> 01:16:22,000
Speaker 1: coming from the slot. Though, um he was one of

1399
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:24,400
Speaker 1: the league's best reclamation projects of last year. It was

1400
01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:26,439
Speaker 1: a great story for him. He got paid this past

1401
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:29,200
Speaker 1: offseason by the Packers. But I don't know how great

1402
01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:31,960
Speaker 1: he is in the slot. I like kJ Osborne. Here

1403
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:36,200
Speaker 1: slight advantage for Osborne startable with a C grade and

1404
01:16:36,320 --> 01:16:39,240
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook obvious a grade you know to start him

1405
01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:42,040
Speaker 1: in pretty much all situations. Yeah, we do expect more running,

1406
01:16:42,160 --> 01:16:45,880
Speaker 1: but there are more passing, but still plenty to go

1407
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:48,439
Speaker 1: around for Dalvin Cook in this game. Do not start

1408
01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:50,759
Speaker 1: Alexander Madison as I hear he's headed to the Eagles

1409
01:16:50,840 --> 01:16:54,400
Speaker 1: hundred percent fact on that last thing. Or Smith not

1410
01:16:54,439 --> 01:16:56,080
Speaker 1: even on the injury reports, so it looks like that

1411
01:16:56,120 --> 01:16:57,840
Speaker 1: thumb of his is fine, but he missed all of

1412
01:16:57,920 --> 01:17:00,840
Speaker 1: training camp. Let's take this one off all of last year,

1413
01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:03,760
Speaker 1: have you, and also all of last year, So let's

1414
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:06,920
Speaker 1: let's take a wait and see on IRV Smith when

1415
01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:10,759
Speaker 1: we came back. Final segment, which includes the time Machine.

1416
01:17:11,120 --> 01:17:12,640
Speaker 1: We'll tell you the guys you want to pick up

1417
01:17:12,640 --> 01:17:14,479
Speaker 1: this week that everybody else will be trying to pick

1418
01:17:14,560 --> 01:17:29,800
Speaker 1: up next week. Premature speculation coming up next. It's the

1419
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:34,559
Speaker 1: final segment Fantasy Football Weekly, a week one edition. This

1420
01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:38,320
Speaker 1: is a segment that we call premature speculation. We give

1421
01:17:38,360 --> 01:17:40,639
Speaker 1: you three guys you'll want to pick up this week

1422
01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:42,519
Speaker 1: that everybody else will be trying to pick up next week.

1423
01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:46,840
Speaker 1: But dirty on your team A Scott. I'm gonna go

1424
01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:49,519
Speaker 1: with Eno Benjamin. Running Backs are hard to come by.

1425
01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:52,160
Speaker 1: You need to spend mad waiver money when they become available.

1426
01:17:52,400 --> 01:17:55,679
Speaker 1: To Edmonds last year, head over nine yards last year

1427
01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:58,280
Speaker 1: and forty three catches as the number two in that

1428
01:17:58,400 --> 01:18:01,720
Speaker 1: Arizona offense. Let year was Connor's first health year. The

1429
01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:05,000
Speaker 1: year before he had injuries to six different body parts.

1430
01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:07,799
Speaker 1: He's he doesn't even have that man. You know, Benjamin

1431
01:18:08,040 --> 01:18:10,840
Speaker 1: could be a flex matchup play if Connor goes down.

1432
01:18:10,920 --> 01:18:13,240
Speaker 1: He's a starter. It's hard to injure your gallbladder, but

1433
01:18:13,240 --> 01:18:15,760
Speaker 1: he managed to do it all right. You're premature speculation

1434
01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:19,280
Speaker 1: player Matt Randall Cobb, who's rostered and only fourteen percent

1435
01:18:19,320 --> 01:18:21,400
Speaker 1: of sleeper ly EU exam was Art's probably not going

1436
01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:24,200
Speaker 1: this week, leaving Aaron Rodgers with Sammy Watkins, a bunch

1437
01:18:24,200 --> 01:18:27,040
Speaker 1: of rookies that he doesn't trust. And Randall Cobb, who

1438
01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:29,719
Speaker 1: only saw thirty nine targets last year, but he figures

1439
01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:32,120
Speaker 1: to blow that figure out of the water by mid October.

1440
01:18:32,479 --> 01:18:35,080
Speaker 1: The likelihood of Cobb being Aaron rodgers most targeted wide

1441
01:18:35,120 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 1: receiver this year, it's very high, and he's absolutely free

1442
01:18:38,040 --> 01:18:42,080
Speaker 1: right now. In the preseason, when evaluating rookies, you're looking

1443
01:18:42,120 --> 01:18:48,000
Speaker 1: for special talent that transcends the crappy second or third

1444
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:50,920
Speaker 1: string defense that player might be going up against. Isaiah

1445
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:54,680
Speaker 1: likely Baltimore tight end showed that in the preseason. He

1446
01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:57,519
Speaker 1: looks like a special talent who we believe is going

1447
01:18:57,560 --> 01:19:01,160
Speaker 1: to get on the field primarily standing running from the slot.

1448
01:19:01,880 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 1: So that is my premature speculation. Player. We have three

1449
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:07,880
Speaker 1: more matchups to get to, including every the big the

1450
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:11,320
Speaker 1: biggest of many revenge games this week Broncos taking on

1451
01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:14,720
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. Scott. Yeah, we got Russell Wilson returning to

1452
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:17,559
Speaker 1: play Seattle. A Seattle team that allowed the second most

1453
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:21,640
Speaker 1: passing yards and their defensive unit saw downgrades this offense.

1454
01:19:22,360 --> 01:19:27,799
Speaker 1: Uh the uh the The Seattle defense was also bottom

1455
01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:32,280
Speaker 1: ten pressure rate. Uh So basically I have a B

1456
01:19:32,479 --> 01:19:36,639
Speaker 1: grade on Wilson. Uh, mostly because I think that they're

1457
01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:39,320
Speaker 1: gonna get up there there six point favorites. They're gonna

1458
01:19:39,640 --> 01:19:41,920
Speaker 1: run the ball a lot more once they get ahead.

1459
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:45,120
Speaker 1: So only a B grade on Wilson here, Uh, Sutton

1460
01:19:45,160 --> 01:19:48,040
Speaker 1: with a B grade and Judy with a C grade. Sutton,

1461
01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:50,640
Speaker 1: I'm a team Sutton over Judy. Guy that all the

1462
01:19:50,720 --> 01:19:53,759
Speaker 1: all the b reporters have said the chemistry is between

1463
01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:57,360
Speaker 1: Wilson and Sutton. It's such a positive matchup against the

1464
01:19:57,439 --> 01:20:00,840
Speaker 1: poor secondary that will be starting like Adney Jones and

1465
01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:05,479
Speaker 1: Justin Coleman and rookie Terek Woolen. Those guys aren't scaring anyone.

1466
01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:08,640
Speaker 1: SO B grade on Sutton, C grade on Judy. I

1467
01:20:08,720 --> 01:20:10,840
Speaker 1: just don't know how much they're gonna be able to throw,

1468
01:20:11,080 --> 01:20:13,320
Speaker 1: how much they're gonna need to throw in this one.

1469
01:20:13,840 --> 01:20:17,320
Speaker 1: Albert Oh, I've toyed with a C grade. What do

1470
01:20:17,360 --> 01:20:21,120
Speaker 1: you think, charge Dulcin John? I are Seattle tea sal

1471
01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:24,479
Speaker 1: team that allowed the fourth most touchdowns, eleventh most yards,

1472
01:20:24,479 --> 01:20:28,040
Speaker 1: and the tenth most receptions to tight ends. All right,

1473
01:20:28,120 --> 01:20:29,640
Speaker 1: I'm in on a C grade. That's that was a

1474
01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:32,920
Speaker 1: tough one for me. But Javonty Williams B grade and

1475
01:20:33,000 --> 01:20:36,360
Speaker 1: Gordon a C grade. The Seahawks were bottom ten in

1476
01:20:36,479 --> 01:20:39,599
Speaker 1: yards and touchdowns allowed to running backs. They lost Bobby

1477
01:20:39,680 --> 01:20:42,520
Speaker 1: Wagner and Carlos dunlop As. I was kind of prefacing

1478
01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:45,200
Speaker 1: earlier but didn't get to it yet until now. This

1479
01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:47,839
Speaker 1: should be good for the splitting duo of Javonty and Melvin,

1480
01:20:47,920 --> 01:20:51,120
Speaker 1: But all reports say Javonty is going to be the

1481
01:20:51,160 --> 01:20:53,080
Speaker 1: A back and Gordon will be the B back. So

1482
01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:56,320
Speaker 1: B grade for Williams, C grade for Gordon. Yes, I

1483
01:20:56,320 --> 01:20:58,880
Speaker 1: I realized that was probably confusing the way I stated that.

1484
01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:03,120
Speaker 1: On the other side, Gino Smith with a bench grade.

1485
01:21:03,160 --> 01:21:05,080
Speaker 1: In his three starts last year, his best game was

1486
01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:07,360
Speaker 1: two hundred eight total yards, but he threw a lot

1487
01:21:07,439 --> 01:21:09,559
Speaker 1: of touchdowns, and I actually I kind of like him

1488
01:21:09,560 --> 01:21:12,439
Speaker 1: in garbage time. He threw four touchdowns in his three starts.

1489
01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:17,840
Speaker 1: That yes, he did have one rushing touchdown. Uh, so

1490
01:21:17,920 --> 01:21:19,960
Speaker 1: I have dk Metcalf with a B grade and lock

1491
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:23,320
Speaker 1: it with a C grade. Dk Metcalf actually had darted

1492
01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:26,679
Speaker 1: shuttles of nine and forty three and scored three times

1493
01:21:26,680 --> 01:21:29,040
Speaker 1: in those three games, so I think he's pretty safe.

1494
01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:32,120
Speaker 1: Lock it a C grade because he disappeared for two games,

1495
01:21:32,360 --> 01:21:34,880
Speaker 1: but then he exploded for a hundred forty plus and

1496
01:21:34,920 --> 01:21:38,639
Speaker 1: a couple of scores, So that's always a possibility with locket.

1497
01:21:38,640 --> 01:21:40,360
Speaker 1: So I'm giving him the C grade here as they'll

1498
01:21:40,400 --> 01:21:43,200
Speaker 1: be behind and trying to catch up. Rashot Penny with

1499
01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:45,720
Speaker 1: a B grade in his last six games with at

1500
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:49,200
Speaker 1: least fourteen touches. Here's his average stat line hundred forty

1501
01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:52,800
Speaker 1: seven yards and one point five touchdowns. Yeah, we'll take that.

1502
01:21:52,880 --> 01:21:55,479
Speaker 1: He's gonna get that kind of volume in this one.

1503
01:21:55,680 --> 01:21:58,439
Speaker 1: Travis Homer was my take a chance on me player,

1504
01:21:59,040 --> 01:22:01,800
Speaker 1: and that's it because and walkers out. Yeah, I like

1505
01:22:01,840 --> 01:22:04,640
Speaker 1: Travis Homer is a sneaky play in this matchup. The

1506
01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:08,200
Speaker 1: next game is Chiefs taking on the Cardinals Patrick Mahomes

1507
01:22:08,200 --> 01:22:10,000
Speaker 1: and Travis Kelsey. Here obvious is that we will not

1508
01:22:10,040 --> 01:22:12,839
Speaker 1: spend time on, but let's talk about Juju Smith Schuster.

1509
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:16,799
Speaker 1: Arizona secondary bad last year, giving up twenty seven scores

1510
01:22:16,840 --> 01:22:20,080
Speaker 1: to opposing receivers. That was four more than the next

1511
01:22:20,160 --> 01:22:23,280
Speaker 1: worst team, and they looked to be even worse this

1512
01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:27,000
Speaker 1: year with their offseason defections. Juju primarily ran from the

1513
01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:29,280
Speaker 1: slot in Pittsburgh, and the Chiefs have a ton of

1514
01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:33,120
Speaker 1: available slot reps with Tyreek Hill out Byron Murphy's the

1515
01:22:33,120 --> 01:22:35,040
Speaker 1: cornerback who man's a slot for the Cardinals and he

1516
01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:39,280
Speaker 1: ranked as cornerback sixty six by Pro Football Focus, So

1517
01:22:39,320 --> 01:22:41,840
Speaker 1: there's a good chance for Juju to have some headway here.

1518
01:22:42,360 --> 01:22:45,360
Speaker 1: Sky Moore's an interesting dart throw in a smash spot.

1519
01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:47,639
Speaker 1: We talked earlier, not a lot of rookies we trust here,

1520
01:22:47,640 --> 01:22:49,720
Speaker 1: but man, I don't like this. I don't like the

1521
01:22:49,800 --> 01:22:51,840
Speaker 1: secondary at all. And if you wanted me to try

1522
01:22:51,920 --> 01:22:54,559
Speaker 1: one rookie receiver. This is the one I would try

1523
01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:57,400
Speaker 1: more figures to face second year corner Marco Wilson on

1524
01:22:57,439 --> 01:23:00,400
Speaker 1: the left side a lot. He allowed a one thirty

1525
01:23:00,520 --> 01:23:03,960
Speaker 1: passer rating and the second most touchdowns in his coverage

1526
01:23:03,960 --> 01:23:07,519
Speaker 1: of any cornerback. Give a shot to Sky Moore and

1527
01:23:07,560 --> 01:23:09,960
Speaker 1: Marcus Veldes Scantling was might take a chance of the

1528
01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:13,479
Speaker 1: wide receiver earlier in this game. Earlier in the show.

1529
01:23:13,800 --> 01:23:16,720
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards Despair is a C grade. By the way,

1530
01:23:16,720 --> 01:23:18,880
Speaker 1: Sky wears a C grade and Juju will be grade

1531
01:23:18,880 --> 01:23:22,120
Speaker 1: if I did say that Clyde Edwards despair C grade.

1532
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:26,200
Speaker 1: Cardinals were pretty average and most running back metrics last season,

1533
01:23:26,520 --> 01:23:28,600
Speaker 1: but did keep teams out of the end zone. But

1534
01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:33,120
Speaker 1: touchdowns aren't really Clyde Edward Hilaire's calling card anyway, So

1535
01:23:33,520 --> 01:23:35,559
Speaker 1: we'll hope he can chip in some all purpose yardage

1536
01:23:35,560 --> 01:23:38,240
Speaker 1: against a team that ranked twenty one in total yards

1537
01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:40,280
Speaker 1: to running backs. And then all the rest of the

1538
01:23:40,360 --> 01:23:42,519
Speaker 1: running backs for the Chiefs are on the bench. Let's

1539
01:23:42,560 --> 01:23:45,799
Speaker 1: go to Arizona, where James Conner gets an A grade.

1540
01:23:46,120 --> 01:23:49,439
Speaker 1: Chiefs run defense was very bad again at four point

1541
01:23:49,439 --> 01:23:51,559
Speaker 1: eight yards per carry, second worst in the league. Will

1542
01:23:51,560 --> 01:23:54,920
Speaker 1: start him. Um Kyler Murray gets a B grade. He's

1543
01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:58,000
Speaker 1: gonna be without DeAndre Hopkins. Randal Moorsman ruled out zach

1544
01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:00,400
Speaker 1: Ertz looks like he will play hurt if at all.

1545
01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:03,639
Speaker 1: Kansas City ranked twenty four and passing yards allowed last season,

1546
01:24:03,680 --> 01:24:06,520
Speaker 1: and it was a result they completely rebuilt their secondary

1547
01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:09,439
Speaker 1: and with all of the changes, at least three starting

1548
01:24:09,479 --> 01:24:12,600
Speaker 1: new faces starting in that secondary, there's gonna be some

1549
01:24:12,640 --> 01:24:15,720
Speaker 1: opportunities for Murray, even with the second tier sets of

1550
01:24:15,760 --> 01:24:19,320
Speaker 1: receivers that he's gonna have. Chief screen secondary could end

1551
01:24:19,400 --> 01:24:22,040
Speaker 1: up making some mistakes here, So we'll start Kyler Murray

1552
01:24:22,080 --> 01:24:25,559
Speaker 1: with a B grade. I really like Marquis Brown these

1553
01:24:25,640 --> 01:24:28,000
Speaker 1: as again, all the receivers are gone except Marcus Brown

1554
01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:31,479
Speaker 1: is still standing, and four of the Chiefs six leaders

1555
01:24:31,479 --> 01:24:34,080
Speaker 1: and defensive snaps are now gone. This is a This

1556
01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:36,200
Speaker 1: is a good spot for him. I think there's gonna

1557
01:24:36,200 --> 01:24:40,439
Speaker 1: be some coverage lapses opposing number one receivers last year

1558
01:24:40,800 --> 01:24:44,240
Speaker 1: had had put up a hundred and seven total average

1559
01:24:44,320 --> 01:24:47,400
Speaker 1: hundred seven total yards against the Chiefs in the first

1560
01:24:47,439 --> 01:24:49,920
Speaker 1: four games of last season, and they were rebuilding their secondary.

1561
01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:52,920
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna struggle here to Kyler Murray sorry,

1562
01:24:53,080 --> 01:24:57,799
Speaker 1: Marquis Brown a grade in this matchup. And then lastly, Zacherts,

1563
01:24:57,800 --> 01:25:00,800
Speaker 1: who got in a limited practice on Friday game time decision,

1564
01:25:01,320 --> 01:25:04,000
Speaker 1: averaged over fifty yards per game and at the most

1565
01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:08,160
Speaker 1: targets per game after being traded from Philly in Week

1566
01:25:08,240 --> 01:25:11,320
Speaker 1: seven among all tight ends. Kansas City did not allow

1567
01:25:11,320 --> 01:25:13,160
Speaker 1: his score to the position over the last ten games

1568
01:25:13,160 --> 01:25:15,360
Speaker 1: of last year, but they also lost Tyronne Matthew over

1569
01:25:15,400 --> 01:25:17,559
Speaker 1: the last in the off season and he did a

1570
01:25:17,600 --> 01:25:21,160
Speaker 1: lot of that tight end coverage work. So not clear

1571
01:25:21,200 --> 01:25:23,680
Speaker 1: that Kansas City is gonna be as effective here, and

1572
01:25:23,720 --> 01:25:25,880
Speaker 1: so we'll give zach Ertz a C grade based on

1573
01:25:26,080 --> 01:25:29,320
Speaker 1: the matchup and based on the fact that he comes

1574
01:25:29,360 --> 01:25:32,080
Speaker 1: in injured in this game. Let's go to the Monday

1575
01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:35,280
Speaker 1: night game in our final matchup of the week. Matt

1576
01:25:35,560 --> 01:25:39,639
Speaker 1: minds the Sunday night game. It's the Cowboy. Tom Brady

1577
01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:41,759
Speaker 1: and Mike Evans are each going to get a grades

1578
01:25:41,800 --> 01:25:44,599
Speaker 1: in this one. Brady has fourteen touchdown passes in six

1579
01:25:44,720 --> 01:25:47,400
Speaker 1: career games versus Dallas and he's never lost to them.

1580
01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:50,479
Speaker 1: And Mike Evans is still Brady's favorite target and in fact,

1581
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:53,879
Speaker 1: when Godwin and Brown were gone. Last year, he averaged

1582
01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:57,040
Speaker 1: ten targets per game. Speaking of Godwin, he might not

1583
01:25:57,080 --> 01:25:58,880
Speaker 1: be ready to come back from the A c L

1584
01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:01,800
Speaker 1: quite yet. Still. Gauge is dealing with a hamstring injury

1585
01:26:01,840 --> 01:26:04,360
Speaker 1: and has been limited all week. His status is also

1586
01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:06,519
Speaker 1: in doubt. So since this is the Sunday Night er,

1587
01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:09,560
Speaker 1: I can't advise starting either Godwin or Gauge, but I

1588
01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:12,120
Speaker 1: will throw a dart at Julio Jones, who I'll give

1589
01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:14,720
Speaker 1: a C grade to. Evans moves around a lot on

1590
01:26:14,760 --> 01:26:17,240
Speaker 1: the field, and if Godwin engaged, don't go. I'd expect

1591
01:26:17,240 --> 01:26:20,200
Speaker 1: Evans to move into the slot more, which means Jones

1592
01:26:20,240 --> 01:26:22,840
Speaker 1: is on the outside where he'll face Trevon Diggs, who

1593
01:26:22,920 --> 01:26:27,599
Speaker 1: is Pro football focuses eight seven ranked cover corner Leo Fournette.

1594
01:26:27,640 --> 01:26:29,920
Speaker 1: He gets a C grade. I'd expect no less than

1595
01:26:29,960 --> 01:26:32,360
Speaker 1: a two thirds share in Week one snaps for four net,

1596
01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:35,879
Speaker 1: where chidd White probably gets the rest. Problem is Cowboys

1597
01:26:35,960 --> 01:26:38,920
Speaker 1: run defense was pretty good last year. Only three running

1598
01:26:38,960 --> 01:26:41,439
Speaker 1: backs top the eight yard mark against Dallas last year,

1599
01:26:41,439 --> 01:26:44,040
Speaker 1: and they only allowed eight rushing touchdowns to the position

1600
01:26:44,479 --> 01:26:47,080
Speaker 1: on the season. On the other side, I'm really nervous

1601
01:26:47,080 --> 01:26:49,920
Speaker 1: about the offensive line going up against the Tampa front seven,

1602
01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:52,760
Speaker 1: so Zeke and Pollard only get C grades. I think

1603
01:26:52,840 --> 01:26:55,320
Speaker 1: Zeke gets more run here here, but Pollard is heavily

1604
01:26:55,360 --> 01:26:57,840
Speaker 1: involved in the passing game and that's about the only

1605
01:26:57,840 --> 01:27:00,439
Speaker 1: way for running backs to score on Tampa. The Bucks

1606
01:27:00,439 --> 01:27:02,920
Speaker 1: allowed the fewest rushing yards to running backs in the

1607
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:06,080
Speaker 1: league last year, but the second most receptions, so that's

1608
01:27:06,120 --> 01:27:09,200
Speaker 1: the bright spot. Dak Prescott gets a B grade. The

1609
01:27:09,240 --> 01:27:12,120
Speaker 1: Bucks aren't nearly a stout against the pass, and Dak

1610
01:27:12,200 --> 01:27:15,000
Speaker 1: through for over four hundred yards and three scores in

1611
01:27:15,040 --> 01:27:17,479
Speaker 1: the Week one meeting last year, but it's a completely

1612
01:27:17,479 --> 01:27:20,519
Speaker 1: different offensive line and he'll be missing Amari Cooper who's

1613
01:27:20,520 --> 01:27:23,040
Speaker 1: in Cleveland and Michael Gallup who's recovering from an a

1614
01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:26,400
Speaker 1: c l Ceedee Lamb gets an A grade. The most

1615
01:27:26,439 --> 01:27:30,040
Speaker 1: likely matchup for Lamb is against Burnable Sean Murphy Bunting.

1616
01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:32,280
Speaker 1: He's going to be in line for ten targets at

1617
01:27:32,320 --> 01:27:35,280
Speaker 1: a minimum, but many could be in double coverage. And finally,

1618
01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:38,879
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz. He got Pro Football Focus his second highest

1619
01:27:38,880 --> 01:27:42,639
Speaker 1: positional advantage ranking this week for tight ends. He'll get

1620
01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:44,720
Speaker 1: Devin White a lot in coverage, and White is a

1621
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:47,719
Speaker 1: great defender, but not good in coverage, earning a thirty

1622
01:27:47,800 --> 01:27:52,320
Speaker 1: seven PFF grade in coverage that Dalton Schultz b grade.

1623
01:27:52,320 --> 01:27:54,880
Speaker 1: He's gonna be very solid this week. We're heading into

1624
01:27:54,880 --> 01:27:57,280
Speaker 1: the Week one Sunday. We all love our teams right now,

1625
01:27:58,080 --> 01:28:01,600
Speaker 1: and by midday Sunday it'll be like, oh God, what

1626
01:28:01,680 --> 01:28:04,400
Speaker 1: did I do? But do not despair. We will be

1627
