Here's your host. Welcome to 0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:25.400 a week one edition of Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm Paul 0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:31.720 Charchy and Guillotine Leagues dot com, Scott Fish and Matt Harrison. Hello, guys, Hey, 0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:35.560 games on Football's back game. Yeah, but we will spend 0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:39.640 most of our focus on the game's coming up Sunday 0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:43.360 and Monday. In addition to breaking down every game fantasy 0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:47.239 style and applying all of the letter grades that we 0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:51.040 always do that would be ABC and bench level grades 0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:54.120 to our players, we will also have take a chance 0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:57.400 on me. This is where we unveil nine players not 0:00:57.520 --> 0:00:59.120 normally in your starting lineup that you can go to 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:01.360 war with this week, and there are some scenarios where 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:04.720 you've got to go to some deeper players. Yeah. Yeah, 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:07.600 We'll play three tough questions and near the end of 0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:11.880 the show premature speculation where we help you identify the 0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:14.960 players you can pick up now that other people will 0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:17.840 be trying to pick up next week, but they're already 0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:23.959 on your team, and I didn't want. Yes, very excited 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:26.600 to have the time machine backed. Yes, you didn't know 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:28.479 what a time machine sounded. That you're you're a big 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:34.800 fan of time travel charge future charge stock I bought 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:40.120 in two thousand two. But that just changed the entirety 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:44.840 of the world. It could be um, yeah, the butterfly effect. Charge. Yes, 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.639 and I'm the quiet, very quietly, I'm now the richest 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:53.240 man in the world. Yes, explains the placial we've podcast from. Yes, 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:57.120 the six Butlers. That doesn't it seems weird at the time. 0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:00.400 Let's dive into our matchups. But actually, before we do that, 0:02:00.840 --> 0:02:04.800 I want to pose to you what to do if 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:08.359 you started cam Akers or Allen Robinson who combined for 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:11.280 eleven yards on Thursday night, and now you find yourself 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:13.920 in a big hole coming into this weekend. What's the 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:17.560 strategy now to overcome that? Who started cam Akers? I 0:02:17.600 --> 0:02:21.639 started Darryl Henderson, my sleeper from last week. Great you are. 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:24.680 I also thought Ellen Robinson would have an amazing year. 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.799 So let's not victory that everything that's pretty that's pretty 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:31.160 dang terrible. Uh. I think one thing you do if 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.560 if you're trying, if you played against them, and you're 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:36.040 trying to pretty let's start, let's star the other start. Yeah, 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:38.239 let's just just we'll get to that in a second. 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:42.000 All right, that you started, Cam Akers or Allen Robinson. 0:02:42.600 --> 0:02:45.160 What do you do to overcome it? Yeah, it's it's 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:48.120 the pretty stock answer of you know, if you have 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.560 two guys that are pretty similarly ranked, or you have 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.000 this similar viewpoint on them, you go with the one 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.960 with the higher ceiling. At this point, we're going for upside. 0:02:56.160 --> 0:03:00.160 Think about if you've got a quarterback receiver combo. You 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:01.880 put those guys in to see if you can get 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:04.960 lightning to strike on that once or twice. And so 0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:08.000 you're playing for upside. Now the now, let's flip it over. 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:11.920 You're playing against Cam Akers or Allen Robinson. Somebody just 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:15.760 burned a roster spot on effectively no fantasy points. What 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:18.160 are you gonna do to protect your your early advantage? 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.200 But I think you pretend it's a guillotine league and 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:23.079 you just go for safety. You go for instant touches 0:03:23.120 --> 0:03:26.280 and try to get as many ten touch guys in 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:29.000 your lineup as possible. Yeah, you immediately pull the guys 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:33.360 like George Kittle or Chris Godwin stuff like that, Chris Godwin, 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.200 especially because he plays Sunday night and you don't want 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:37.600 to wait out that injury. Or Russell Gage that same game, 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:42.000 you play a safer player with a lot less upside probably, 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.160 but at least you know they're gonna throw some points 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:45.920 at you. I'm excited to hear what you think of 0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:47.880 Julio Jones in that game when we get to it. 0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:51.040 But let's begin with the Eagles taking on the Lion Scott. 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:55.240 This was a one sided so lacking last year. What 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:58.680 do you think happens here? Yeah, it's probably gonna be 0:03:58.880 --> 0:04:02.360 close to the same. Eagles are a sneaky favorite for 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.320 a lot of people to win that uh that NFC 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:08.480 Easton and maybe even make a run in the playoffs. 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.280 That's me, Yeah, that's me too. When I was in Iowa, 0:04:11.320 --> 0:04:13.880 my son made me place a bet on the Eagles 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:17.160 to win their division. I was very proud of him 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:20.880 with that. Uh. Jalen Hurts, I have an a grade 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:27.760 on this guy. Okay, yes, I mean I made the belt, 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:37.600 I made the bet on the Eagle side. Let's start 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:39.479 with Jalen Hurts I having a grade on him. This 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:43.120 is a guy who finished top twelve in seventeen of 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.560 his twenty games last week as a top twelve fantasy quarterback. 0:04:46.640 --> 0:04:49.960 That is, Hurts had seventy four designed runs last year, 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:53.240 which was second only to Lamar Jackson seventy six. He 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:57.160 had ten rushing touchdowns. You're getting close to an A 0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:01.960 grade most weeks just off of his rushing. All indications 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:05.119 are he's more accurate this year, He's been passing better, 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:08.800 and he added A J. Brown. Um, he gets a 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:11.480 matchup against the team that was bottom ten against quarterbacks 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:13.719 last year with the second lowest pressure rates, so they're 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:16.400 not even gonna get to him. UM A grade on 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.240 Hurts his main guy A J. Brown, I still have 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:21.600 an A grade on as well. The lines allowed the 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.440 most twenty plus yard receptions last year, and the Eagles 0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:27.240 have three guys who can get deep in A. J. Brown, 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:29.880 DeVante Smith, and I suppose you could say god Or 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.880 can get deep because he has He's had a decent 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:36.720 amount of deep receptions. UM. Their bottom ten against the 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:40.320 slot where a G A J. Brown tends to tends 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:42.120 to play a decent amount make a lot of plays. 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:45.000 The only concern for me on this side is if 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:47.200 the Eagles get ahead too early and they run a 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:49.719 ton like they did in this same matchup last year. 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:52.279 But I think they'll want to unleash their new weapon 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.480 in Week one, and you know they're going to get 0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:58.120 some points on their way to that lead. Davante Smith 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:00.920 I have C grade on dude, how bad Detroit was 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.320 last year against the deep ball. All it's really gonna 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:07.200 take is one one big playout of Davante Smith and A. J. 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.120 Brown should draw a lot of coverage from Mamani or 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:16.599 a War or a a Uh. Dallas Goddard I have 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:19.360 a B grade for the Lions allowed the second most 0:06:19.400 --> 0:06:22.000 yards and the fifth most receptions the tight ends last year. 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:25.000 It's a great matchup. Something's got to give here, though, 0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:27.720 if if they get up early in they're running in 0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.440 a ton. I think DeVante Smith is the bench but 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:35.520 Dallas Goddard B at the moment. Miles Sanders C grade 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:39.080 only really due to health concerns, as he finally just 0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:41.640 a couple of days ago, I believe on Thursday finally 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:44.320 started putting in full practices. He has dealt with a 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:48.719 hamstring injury all all preseason here. Uh. They even added 0:06:48.720 --> 0:06:51.400 trace sermonists and backup they said they're going to be cautious, 0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.839 but the Lions allowed the fourth most rush yards, the 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:58.160 third most rushing tease, even the second most receiving touchdowns 0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:01.360 to backs. Of course, Miles Sanders did not score last year, 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.400 but we gotta hope that comes back. There's a lot 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:06.680 to like here. It's mostly the injury concerned in the 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:09.120 split that gives me the pause in a great matchup. 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:11.720 So he's only getting a C grade. The rest of 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:14.119 the running backs are on the bench because I don't 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:16.600 trust them until I see what these actual splits are. 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:18.720 I got fooled by Gainwell last year. They said pass 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.239 catching rolling, it never materialized. We will talk more about 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:24.040 that exact situation later in this show. Yeah, on the 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.720 Lions side, I have most I have Jared Goff on 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:29.640 the bench. Let's just start there. I know you likely 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:34.200 drafted Goff early as your starter first round, but he 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.840 only topped two it in seventy yards three times last 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:40.000 year and had eight games of zero or one touchdown. 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:44.480 He's not a guy you're starting, um d J Charks 0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:47.160 saam deal bench. I need to see his role first. 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:50.480 He's he's basically looking like fourth banana in the passing 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:54.240 order behind st. Brown, Hawkinson and Swift. So I need 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:56.400 to see that first. St. Brown, I'm giving a C 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.680 grade to The Eagles were second best against wide receivers 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:04.360 that year. Fourth fust receptions, third fewest yards, fifth fuse touchdowns. 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:08.640 Is not a great spot. However, they should fall behind, 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:10.720 and Amanra is the type of guy that gets a 0:08:10.720 --> 0:08:14.080 lot of short volume passwork. I can see the his 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:17.560 receptions alone getting him up into that sea range. I 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:21.440 could even see like a nine for fifty eight game 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:25.320 where he just he just gets a bunch of receptions 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:28.880 and there's your points. Uh. T J. Hockenson a B grade. 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.200 Last year, the Eagles gave up the most receptions and 0:08:31.320 --> 0:08:34.360 touchdowns to tight ends. They were a constant take a 0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:37.480 chance on me. Let's find the tight end playing the Eagles, 0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.600 and this is it this week. Yeah. T J. Hockenson 0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:42.480 was a little harder to trust last year, but in 0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:46.760 a perfect matchup like this, he gets a B grade. Uh. 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:50.760 DeAndre Swift also a B grade. Despite possibly missing two 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:54.520 offensive linemen, swiftest sob versatile out of the backfield. They 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:57.760 catches so many passes while behind. At one point last 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:02.719 year mid season, he sevent of his receptions came in 0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:06.400 the second half wall trailing. They used him a ton 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:08.880 once they get behind, and I see that happening here. 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:10.959 He's gonna get you to that B grade with the 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:14.720 rush yards, receiving yards and the receptions. I don't trust 0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:16.679 j Will just quite yet, and I need to see 0:09:16.720 --> 0:09:19.440 a rollout of that. Certainly we'll have to Raiders and Chargers. 0:09:19.440 --> 0:09:21.920 Matt played one of the most thrilling games of last 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:25.480 regular season in the Epic Week A team winning in 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:30.160 overtime game, they immediately get the rematch here Raiders Chargers. Yeah, 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:33.000 um well, the Chargers only allowed eleven touchdowns the wide 0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:36.800 receivers last year. Three of them went to Hunter renfro By. 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:39.199 The way he gets a B grade, Davante Adams gets 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:41.880 an A. Bryce Callahan was their week link. Hy Man's 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.959 the slot that's renfro j C. Jackson might not go 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:47.240 in this one. He's looking pretty doubtful, which would leave 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:50.520 A Sante Samuel Jr. In likely shadow coverage on Adams. 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:53.920 Sante was the nine ranked corner by Pro Football Focus 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.079 last year, so I like Adams a lot. In his 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:59.080 first game with his new team, Darren Waller not on 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:01.520 the injury report hurt, so I'll give him a B grade. 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:04.360 Waller has scored in three of his past four meetings 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:08.160 with the Chargers. Drew Tranquill usually covers the tight end 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.720 for the Chargers, and he allowed twenty nine of the 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.280 thirty three targets in his coverage to be caught last season. 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:16.880 And the Chargers allowed thirteen touchdowns to the tight end 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.200 position last year. That was second most in the league. 0:10:19.760 --> 0:10:22.160 Derek Carr gets a B grade. A couple of bad 0:10:22.240 --> 0:10:25.000 news is and a good news here. Bad news he's 0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:27.520 been held under two d passing yards in each of 0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:30.480 his last four meetings with l A good news he's 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:33.080 thrown for multiple touchdowns and three of those four and 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:35.640 now he's got Davante Adams. But then the bad news. 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:38.640 His offensive line looked terrible so far in the preseason, 0:10:38.920 --> 0:10:40.240 so he's gonna have to get rid of the ball 0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:42.600 quite quickly in this one. So just a B grade there, 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:44.960 even though I like his receivers a little bit more. 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:48.000 Josh Jacobs and Zamir White, I'm gonna keep them both 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:50.640 on the bench. Um. I don't trust the fact that 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:53.640 this might be a straight up committee approach under Josh McDaniels, 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:57.920 Brandon Bolden, and Amir Abdullah could factor in a bunch too. 0:10:58.080 --> 0:10:59.720 It would not shock me to see each of the 0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:02.600 raid Is runners held to fewer than ten touches in 0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.600 this game. So I'll take this week off of their 0:11:04.679 --> 0:11:07.240 runners and what should be a shootout. Even Josh Jacobs, 0:11:07.480 --> 0:11:11.240 even Josh Jacob on the other side, Air Bear, he 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:14.400 gets an A. Justin Herbert Keenan Allen he gets an A. 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:17.240 Mike Williams he gets an A. Josh Palmer he gets 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:19.480 a C. He're just handing out a A is all 0:11:19.559 --> 0:11:23.400 over the Josh Palmer, who apparently you hate. The cornerback 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:27.920 group of rock yaw Sin, Anthony Everett, Nate Hobbs and 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:31.560 a Meek Robertson who's only five eight are all positive 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:33.880 matchups for the Chargers wide outs that must might be 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:37.080 one of the worst secondaries in football. They might try 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:39.920 to flex their best corner Hobbs in on Keenan Allen, 0:11:39.960 --> 0:11:42.439 but that's still a mismatch. So I like everybody in 0:11:42.480 --> 0:11:45.480 the passing game, including Gerald Everett, who will give a 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:49.080 C grade too. It doesn't look like Donald Parham will 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:51.360 play this week. I know, and I love Donald Parham. 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.000 I'm waiting for the big breakout to come. Do we 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:57.719 just get healthy, please, Ladarius Green? When's his breakout? Of 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.160 so Everet's gonna get all the tight end snaps this 0:12:02.200 --> 0:12:04.960 week against the Raiders defense that allowed the third most 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:08.000 touchdowns to tight ends last year. Uh in a year, 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.080 in a week where I have George Kittle in a 0:12:10.120 --> 0:12:12.680 lot of leagues, Gerald Everett's the guy I've been pivoting 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.240 to a lot for my roster. If Kittle doesn't go, 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:17.920 Austin Ekeler he's the last guy I'm gonna mention he 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:19.920 gets an A grade. The Chargers must not have been 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:24.160 totally enthusiastic about Isaiah Spiller since they signed Sony Walkman 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:27.160 Michelle Layton camp. That leads me to believe it's all 0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.480 Eckler this week. In his two meetings with the Raiders 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:32.440 last year, a hundred and forty five total yards and 0:12:32.440 --> 0:12:37.080 two touchdowns total yards and two touchdowns. He's gonna have 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:39.680 a great week. In fact, I'm gonna give Austin Ekeler 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:43.160 my fantasy ardvark Um. Yes you are there, he is. 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.079 There's the fantasy yard park making his first appearance of 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:50.120 the year. Is here. Everybody excited for Fantasy yard Park 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:52.840 forty Niners take on the Bears. Weather expected to be 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:55.280 a big factor in this game. Be sure to track 0:12:55.280 --> 0:13:00.199 it is there currently forecasting heavy rain and winds in Chicago. 0:13:00.880 --> 0:13:03.200 Let's begin on the San Francisco side. Deebo Samuel and 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:06.319 obvious a. He put up a hundred seventy one yards 0:13:06.360 --> 0:13:11.079 in last year's meeting against Chicago. Elijah Mitchell also in 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.200 a grade in this game. Last year, the Bears had 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:18.000 a league high opposing run rate and Pro Football Focus 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:21.679 is thirty first ranked defensive line. It's uh, and honestly, 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:24.480 the the the off season changes might make that even 0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:27.800 a worse a wors group now. Mitchell tally day season 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:31.440 best one hundred thirty seven yards in last year's meeting, 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:35.480 including almost eight yards per carry, which I believe is 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:37.839 pretty good. Mitchell does not chip in with a lot 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.480 of catches, but you will not need them. A grade 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:44.040 for Elijah Mitchell. A lot of people drafted tray Lance 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:46.200 on the hope and promise of big things and it 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:49.240 should start nicely here. Uh, this is a very soft 0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:52.600 landing spot. Chicago allowed the second most passing touchdowns and 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:57.280 the second most rushing quarterback rushing touchdowns last year. Combined 0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:59.600 that together with tray Lands and it's a high deal 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:03.760 opera tunity. The Bears added two second round picks to 0:14:03.800 --> 0:14:07.800 their awful secondary, but they're gonna get completely overwhelmed by 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:11.240 the forty nine years talented receivers. Hey get this. Jimmy 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:15.680 Garoppolo Randy in two touchdowns against the Bears last year. 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:19.680 If Garoppolo can do it, I like Trey Lance's chances 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.000 of doing the same. If he doesn't, there should be 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:27.560 a quarterback controversy. I'm just kidding, Brandon a Um. I 0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:31.680 think star quarnerback Jalen Johnson's gonna attract Deebo Samuel pretty closely. 0:14:32.000 --> 0:14:35.560 That puts ay on a lot of second round rookie 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:39.000 Kyler Gordon making his first ever NFL start. Are you 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:41.360 coming off a great training camp? By all reports, He's 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:44.600 got the deep speed to get under Trey Lances long passes, 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:48.320 something we never got from Jimmy Garoppolo. B grade. I'm 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:52.600 Brandon George Kittle nursing a groin injury. Doesn't look like 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:54.720 he's gonna go here, But even if he plays, that 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:57.840 groin injury could limit his running and his downfield abilities here, 0:14:57.880 --> 0:14:59.720 You're probably gonna have to watch this one from the 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:02.680 side line unless we get late word that Kittles in 0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:05.440 good shape. It's covered to Chicago, where we've only got 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:07.760 a couple of starters. Here, we're gonna start with Justin Fields, 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:12.320 who is on the bench. It's Nick Bosa against fifth 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:17.040 round rookie left tackle Braxton Jones in a massive mismatch. 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:19.920 That's gonna have Justin Fields running for his life throughout 0:15:19.960 --> 0:15:22.720 this camp. This game, this is your best chance of 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:26.480 fantasy success. Really is just scrambling for Justin Fields. We 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:29.160 can't count on that. Um. If his legs don't provide 0:15:29.160 --> 0:15:31.840 fantasy points, you might be stuck. Because the pocket time 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.040 for Fields is going to be a massive issue in 0:15:34.080 --> 0:15:37.840 this game. It could be negative negative passing time. He 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:40.360 could be sacked before the ball gets to him. I 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:43.040 like the sound of that, Nick Bose, Nick Boson could 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:45.640 do that in this game. I've got just a C 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:48.120 grade on Darnell Mooney. A lot of optimism around the 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:51.680 league for Mooney, but I see Fields getting terrorized, and 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:54.480 then I see a lot of double coverage for Mooney coming, 0:15:54.600 --> 0:15:58.560 including solid cornerback and manual Mosley Mooney put up a 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:01.560 modest six catches six four yards and did not score 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.800 in the meeting last year. And the only other receiving 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:07.280 option to note is Cole Commet put up in totally 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:10.840 nondescript game against the Niners last year, but I'll note 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:13.400 that they now departed. Jesse James got a short touchdown 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:15.360 in that game, so at least a tight end did 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:18.320 score as he left the team. I don't think he's departed, 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:23.920 He's just not dearly departed. Jesse James. Uh Niners were 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:26.920 an elite tight end defense last year. After Week one, 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:30.080 they only gave up two Only two tight ends topped 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:33.600 the meager milestone of twenty seven yards all year, and 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:35.400 they only gave up four touchdowns all year to the 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:39.000 position C grade on Cole Commet and lastly, David Montgomery 0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:42.160 also a C grade here. San Francisco boast last year 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:45.240 a run defense last year that ranked top six according 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:47.560 to Pro Football Focus. They gave up the seventh fewest 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:51.000 rushing yards to running backs last year, and by ESPNS 0:16:51.200 --> 0:16:54.200 team run stop win rate, the forty Niners of the 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:57.840 third best defensive line and then return all seven of 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:01.320 their front line starters here, so a brutal game script 0:17:01.320 --> 0:17:04.480 coming that could easily turn against David Montgomery. There's not 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:07.320 a lot to like here and just the C grade 0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:11.840 for David Montgomery in this game. When we come back, 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:14.560 take a chance on me. Nine players you would not 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:17.440 normally start. Will tell you who all of these players are. 0:17:17.480 --> 0:17:20.560 You get three quarterbacks, through running backs, three receivers. Find 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:22.879 some guys you got maybe you got injury issues, maybe 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:25.359 the maybe the draft just sidn't follow your way at 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:28.040 some positions. We are here to help take a chance 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:56.760 on me. Coming up next on Fantasy Football Weekly, it's 0:17:56.840 --> 0:17:59.000 take a chance on me. Nine players not normally do 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:02.040 starting line up. Many these players available on the waiver 0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:06.000 wire right now. In fact, all three of mine are 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:11.560 probably i'd say sevent on waiver wires, maybe more for 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:14.359 all of my players. We begin to the quarterback position, Scott, 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:16.520 Who's gonna take a chance on the quarterback? Yeah, I'm 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:19.199 going with Jamis Winston. People like to rag on his 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:21.960 thirty three touchdown thirty interception year with Tampa, but last 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:25.000 year he had a fourteen to three touchdown interception ratio 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:28.560 and averaged over two touchdowns per game. His yardage wasn't 0:18:28.600 --> 0:18:31.480 there at the start, but progressively got better. He averaged 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:34.000 about five rush attempts per game, so it's gonna get 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:36.960 you an extra three to nine points on the ground. Um, 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:40.840 he gets a Falcons d with the league's worst pressure rate, 0:18:40.920 --> 0:18:43.199 so they're not gonna get to him. And that allowed 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:46.760 the fourth most fantasy points to quarterbacks last year. Um, 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:49.280 they're projected but to be the worst defense again this 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:52.800 year by multiple outlets, and people worried about does he 0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:57.119 still sling it well last year? Um? Last year he 0:18:57.280 --> 0:19:00.399 was top ten in deep ball throws, so he still 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:02.960 slings it. He He was top ten in average depth 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:05.960 of average depth of target as well, that which does 0:19:06.000 --> 0:19:11.160 not surprise anybody given Jamis Winston's yolo passing styling. It 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:15.120 wasn't gone. Michael Thomas Yoo is a good nickname for him. 0:19:15.240 --> 0:19:18.240 It is your take a chance for me, quarterback, Matt. 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:21.719 I've got General Davis Mills who's playing against the Colts 0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:24.359 this week. He's never thrown a touchdown pass against the 0:19:24.359 --> 0:19:27.280 Colts and two tries. Well, he didn't start either game 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:31.040 of note, he'd started one maybe okay, Um, the Colts 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:34.320 had an iffy pass defense early in the year last year, 0:19:34.400 --> 0:19:37.199 but allowed no three yard games from Week ten on 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:40.680 last season. So why am I using General Mills here? 0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:44.040 Because there's a few bright spots. First, the Colts gave 0:19:44.119 --> 0:19:47.199 up the second most touchdown passes in the league last year. Second, 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:50.240 the addition of a decent running game should help Mills 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:52.920 see the field quite a bit better. Third, I don't 0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:56.320 trust the Colts secondary. Stephen gilmour is thirty two years old. 0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:58.840 Kenny Moore, who I'm gonna cover a little bit later, 0:19:58.840 --> 0:20:01.800 gave up the most yards in slot coverage. And finally, 0:20:02.119 --> 0:20:05.679 in five of mills Is last seven games of one 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:09.040 he topped three passing yards or through for multiple scores. 0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:11.960 He's just putting up good numbers. My quarterback. He was 0:20:12.000 --> 0:20:14.240 originally Davis Mills, and I got off and I still 0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:17.480 like Davis Mills, but I decided to amp up the difficulty. 0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:21.280 Oh yeah, I'm just taking the easy that's right with 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:25.960 Davis Mills. Trevor Lawrence a horrific fantasy performer last year, 0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:30.960 but a possible spot starter against a woefull secondary that 0:20:31.040 --> 0:20:34.760 returns the same players from last year, including one of 0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:39.240 the biggest free agent busts of one, William Jackson playing 0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:41.960 against Washington. By the way I should mention, PFF graded 0:20:42.000 --> 0:20:44.800 Washington is the twenty seven ranks past defense last year 0:20:44.800 --> 0:20:47.800 and that closely corresponds to their thirtieth ranking in yards 0:20:47.800 --> 0:20:51.040 allowed in dead last ranking and touchdowns allowed. And as 0:20:51.040 --> 0:20:55.000 a bonus, Lawrence is fairly nimble, and the Commanders finished 0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:58.320 dead last in quarterback rushing yards allowed and second to 0:20:58.400 --> 0:21:02.080 last in quarterback rushing touchdowns allowed. You know, one way 0:21:02.160 --> 0:21:04.199 or another, Trevor Lawrence could get end up getting it 0:21:04.200 --> 0:21:06.520 done here. It's a good pick. Let's go to the 0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:09.480 running back position. You take a chance on me, runner Scott. Yeah, 0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:12.679 I'm going over the Seattle Seahawks with Travis Homer. It 0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:14.919 sounds like ken Walker is not going to go at all. 0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:17.520 And where he's playing, Travis Homer is playing against the 0:21:17.560 --> 0:21:20.480 Broncos who allowed the ninth most receiving yards and receiving 0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:23.680 touchdowns and highest yards per reception to running backs last year. 0:21:23.880 --> 0:21:29.080 Travis Homer, receiving back specialist. Uh, Travis. I believe that 0:21:29.440 --> 0:21:33.199 Rashad Penny and Travis Hommer are gonna split because there's 0:21:33.240 --> 0:21:35.080 there's a lot of injuries in that backfield right now 0:21:35.080 --> 0:21:36.920 and they're gonna want to keep Penny healthy and tell 0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:41.840 Walkers back that the Denver Broncos allowed twenty six touches 0:21:41.840 --> 0:21:43.720 per game to running backs. I think they split it 0:21:43.720 --> 0:21:46.280 pretty evenly. And Homer gets get some points out there. 0:21:47.040 --> 0:21:50.520 All right, Matt, you're running back, take a chance of me, player, 0:21:50.600 --> 0:21:54.639 I've got raheem must start most start tonight. There's a 0:21:54.680 --> 0:21:58.359 couple of things working in Mostart's favor this week. First off, 0:21:58.480 --> 0:22:01.680
