Speaker 1: Hope you had great holidays, respectively.

10
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 4: What's up, fellows?

11
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 5: I did, I did, I got. I just got back

12
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 5: from my annual trip to the Theater Children's Theater production

13
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 5: of The Grinch.

14
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 4: Dude every year, it's great to have.

15
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 5: Every year.

16
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 4: Does he stay evil this time?

17
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 6: I just want the remake one time where he's like, yeah,

18
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 6: he's it's gonna be the Grnch forever.

19
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

20
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 4: Wouldn't that figure with that? Just one one time out

21
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 4: of all?

22
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 1: You know, they're gonna play at like fifty different times

23
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: between now and Christmas. One time it doesn't really work

24
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: out for what's the little girl's name, Sidney Lho, right,

25
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: it does not work out for Sidney lu who she

26
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 1: gets eaten?

27
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 5: Oh boy, oh.

28
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 4: Boy, that took a dark twist it really did. This

29
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,320
Speaker 4: show will not take it dark.

30
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: It's all positivity on this show, well at least until

31
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: we get to Patriots Giants. Then it's not so much

32
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: prop positivity. But we will break down all the games.

33
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 6: Or if we recap the games from Thanksgiving, Black Friday.

34
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 4: Brutal, all of them one sided affairs.

35
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 6: The first one was all right, the Packers Lions are

36
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 6: somewhat entertaining.

37
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 4: Give us points.

38
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:32,199
Speaker 3: At least.

39
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 4: We will break down all the games. We'll have three

40
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 4: tough questions.

41
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,320
Speaker 1: We'll have nine players upon whom you can take a chance,

42
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: and for one of the final weeks premature speculation as well.

43
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: Let's jump right into the matchup. Scott, You've got a

44
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: particularly thorny one here with Jaguars Texans. Yeah, a lot

45
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: of a lot of players that are sort of in

46
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: the middle.

47
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 5: Yes, Yes, I have almost exclusively b's and c's in

48
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 5: this matchup except for C. J. Stile. It's going to

49
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 5: get any yes at this point. But Trevor Lawrence, I'm

50
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 5: giving a C two. Texans have allowed the fifth highest

51
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 5: pressure rate, which might force Trevor Lawrence to run around

52
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 5: a little bit more like he did last week when

53
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 5: he scored two rushing touchdowns. We urged you to start

54
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 5: Lawrence last week. That was Matt's take a chance on

55
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 5: me player, and he scored four touchdowns last week. By

56
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 5: the way, nice job, yeah, nice peacock there. The Jags

57
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 5: have allowed Texans, Yes, the Texans have allowed multiple scores

58
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 5: in each of the last three two hund and sixty

59
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 5: flush five plus yards in each. I think Trevor Lawrence

60
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 5: can do okay here, but it's a it's a week

61
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 5: with a lot of quarterbacks available, So just a C grade.

62
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 4: They're not chasing last week's box score.

63
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 5: No, no, no, no, we've.

64
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,119
Speaker 4: All been battle scarred. You don't think he's gonna run

65
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 4: for two touchdowns?

66
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 5: No, not pass for two and run for no. I'm

67
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 5: thinking two sixty five and one to two scores, which

68
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 5: is a new low C level. Calvin Ridley, I got

69
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 5: a B grade on If Zay Jones plays, he's questionable.

70
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 5: Matt Harmon was talking about this week, how uh the

71
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,959
Speaker 5: charting on it is. When Zay out there, teams cannot

72
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 5: man press on. Kelvin Ridley. So that's where his three

73
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 5: big games have come. He's had three huge days with

74
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 5: a Jones out there.

75
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 4: I think that is a statistical coincidence.

76
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 5: It might be, but if you think about it, Kirk

77
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 5: is a slot guy and their fourth guy is a

78
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 5: gadgety Jamal Agnew. They don't really have a guy on

79
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 5: the other side to take any coverage. So B grade

80
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 5: on Ridley if he goes C grade. If he doesn't go,

81
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 5: Christian Kirk is gonna get a C grade as well.

82
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 5: The last four slot guys against the Texans eight for

83
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 5: seventy two, three for fifty one, eight for one seventeen,

84
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 5: and six for seventy six. And these are like Boyd

85
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 5: Dorch Trey Palmer like, these are not like studs tearing

86
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 5: them up there. Christian Kirk can do well here. B

87
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 5: grade on Evan Ingram four plus catches in every single

88
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 5: game this year, which is crazy to me.

89
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 4: That's and how many touchdowns the show for Yeah.

90
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 5: That's yeah, that's the problem right there. That'd be zero, yes, exactly.

91
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 5: He had seven for sixty seven in the first game.

92
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 5: But the Texans have been nice for tight ends, allowing

93
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 5: the most receptions and fourth most yards. Trafsey TM is

94
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 5: gonna get a C grade here. A couple tougher days

95
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 5: in a row for him, against better run defenses. And

96
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 5: last week we saw Denis Johnson and Tank Bigsby each

97
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 5: get eight to nine touches each. Not good, but that

98
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 5: was one hundred and thirty yards total, and if Etn

99
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 5: gets a little bit more work, we can count on

100
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 5: fifteen plus touches. He's gonna get the volume c here,

101
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 5: especially because he gets most of the pass game work

102
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 5: over to the Texan side. CJ. Stroud I already talked

103
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 5: about gotten A is getting an A. But I mean,

104
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 5: three hundred and eighty seven yards and three touchdowns per

105
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 5: game were less three.

106
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:39,799
Speaker 4: That's crazy.

107
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 5: That's that's insane level of production.

108
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,679
Speaker 1: I believe last weekend's three interception game for CJ. Stroud

109
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: was his first in his life.

110
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,799
Speaker 5: Oh wow, yeah, yeah, that doesn't That really doesn't actually

111
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 5: surprise me that much. JAG's allowing twelfth to twelfth most

112
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 5: fantasy points to quarterbacks. It's a good spot for him

113
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 5: in general. Over the wide receivers, Tank Dell and Nico

114
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 5: Collins are both getting B grades with no Brown on

115
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 5: the bench. I'm gonna give the slide edge to Dell

116
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 5: if you have to choose between them. For some reason,

117
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 5: he gets the deeper plays when Nico's on the field

118
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 5: with him. Their wide receiver thirteen and wide receiver sixteen

119
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 5: on the season. Tank has scored four times in the

120
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 5: last three games, but the big perimeter guy has scored

121
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 5: in four straight on the Jags. That's kind of where

122
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 5: the scorings go, and the Jags have actually allowed a

123
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 5: wide receiver touchdown in every single game this season. I

124
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 5: think he's the more likely one to score. Fifth in

125
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 5: yards after the catch is Nico Collins B grades on

126
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 5: both of them. No Brown is out in case he

127
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 5: didn't know. Dalton Schultz is going to get a C grade.

128
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 5: He's scored in five of his last seven. He just

129
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 5: keeps scoring. No Brown being out can only help that

130
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 5: a little bit more. He did need to score last week,

131
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 5: but Kittle went for four for one hundred and thirteen

132
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 5: last week. On this Jags team, they're allowing the seventh

133
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 5: most yards to tight ends. It's a good spot C

134
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 5: grade for Dalton Schultz end Damian Pierce does return, I'm

135
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,120
Speaker 5: not gonna trust it. I'm not gonna trust it.

136
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 4: Why we gotta see it first.

137
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 5: We gotta see it. Even though the coach said they're

138
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 5: still gonna split. I gotta see it first, and he

139
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 5: did practice in fall. But Devin Singletary is gonna gonna

140
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 5: get the sea here. The Jags allowed the most receptions

141
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 5: for most receiving yards to backs. That's not really either

142
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,559
Speaker 5: of their games, but if it's one of their games,

143
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 5: it's probably more Devin Singletaries. He's probably gonna get a

144
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 5: little bit more workflow, probably twelve to fifteen touch volume.

145
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 5: See there.

146
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: All right, let's go over to the Saints and Falcons

147
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: interdivisional matchup that could have some playoff ramifications for one

148
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: of these teams.

149
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 4: Let's start on the Saints side.

150
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 6: Brian, Yeah, it shouldn't have playoff ramifications. The whole division

151
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 6: needs to be nuked, the NFC South. But yeah, first

152
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 6: meeting of the season for these division rivals, both teams

153
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 6: coming off their bye as well. But starting with the

154
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 6: Saints and the running game Alvin Kamara, just to see

155
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 6: from him going back to last season, Kamara has not

156
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 6: scored against the Falcons in three eight games and he

157
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 6: might have trouble ending that drought because the Falcons have

158
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 6: surrendered three total touchdowns running backs all season, zero rushing

159
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 6: and three receiving. Of course, Cameric can catch the ball

160
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 6: so there's some hope, but overall it's a bad matchup

161
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 6: on paper. Opposing running backs or averaging just one hundred

162
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 6: and nine combo yards per game against against Atlanta, those

163
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 6: aren't great numbers. But you're not gonna sit Kamara in

164
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 6: this one. Not gonna sit Chris Olave either, But I'm close.

165
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 6: But I'm gonna give a love. Ac total just six

166
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 6: catches for ninety four scoreless yards in two games against

167
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 6: the Falcons last year, and it remains a tough matchup

168
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 6: for him as well. Especially with AJ Terrell at corner

169
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 6: for the Falcons, He'll probably be following Olave a Lotterrell

170
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 6: is one of the better corners in the league. The

171
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 6: Falcons are allowing less than eleven catches one hundred and

172
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 6: thirty yards per game to opposing wide receivers, but they

173
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 6: have surrendered eleven touchdowns of the position, so Olave remains

174
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 6: startable even in a tough matchup. But I do have

175
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 6: Rashid Shahed on the bench charge.

176
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 4: Make him this. I do as well. I just like him.

177
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 4: Don't like this. If you're in a pinch, starts you heating.

178
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 6: He probably won't see a whole lot of Aj Terrell

179
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 6: he feels like more of a DFS dark to me,

180
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 6: not like a trustable option in a standard fantasy. Even

181
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 6: with Michael Thomas on i R. There is a really

182
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 6: intriguing rookie receiver for the Saints. So we'll talk about

183
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 6: him a little later. I won't mention him now, but

184
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 6: I got sat on the bench, so charge charge gives

185
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 6: him a sea though, I think so.

186
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, we'll leave it.

187
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 6: Up to you out there to decide to start you

188
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 6: heat or not. You have to pick your spots, but

189
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 6: well I picked mine, You pick yours?

190
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 4: That fair enough.

191
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 6: Over to the tight ends. Taysom Hill, Yeah, tight end.

192
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 6: I guess it depends where you play most sites. He's

193
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 6: a tight end. And Jawan Johnson. I'm giving both of

194
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,960
Speaker 6: them a see. We all know the story with Hill.

195
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 6: He is a lotto ticket. But he's hit in each

196
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 6: of his last three games against Atlanta, passing touchdown, rushing touchdown,

197
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 6: passing touchdown for Taysom Hill his last three.

198
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 4: So you never know what you want to get, all

199
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 4: or nothing. Guy, You got to pick your spots, right,

200
00:08:58,720 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 4: and Taysom Hill is a definite.

201
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,560
Speaker 6: And that again, that's last three against the Falcons.

202
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 4: Not in general, but I don't know.

203
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 6: You throw throw a dart every week with Taysom mill

204
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 6: Jawan Johnson.

205
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 4: I like the matchup for him.

206
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 6: The Falcons are allowing more than six catches and sixty

207
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 6: yards per game to opposing tight ends, tight ends that

208
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 6: actually play tight end. So a sea for Johnson and

209
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 6: a sea for Derek Carr. Alano is allowing just sorry,

210
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 6: just over one hundred, two hundred and fifteen passing yards

211
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 6: per game, but they have surrendered seventeen passing touchdowns. That's

212
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 6: the third most among teams that have played ten games,

213
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 6: So a see for Derek Carr. Over to the Falcon side,

214
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 6: We'll start with Jon Robinson.

215
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 4: He gets a see.

216
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 6: Handled twenty two carries in his last game played in

217
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 6: Week ten, seventy five percent of that the snaps as well,

218
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 6: both season highs for Robinson, so hopefully that trend continues

219
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 6: after the bye.

220
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:52,880
Speaker 5: No, no, Arthur Smith lost that game. He's gonna go

221
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 5: right back.

222
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 4: Probably right either way.

223
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 6: A brutal matchup for the Falcons running backs. The Saints

224
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 6: are allowed less than four yards per carry. They've allowed

225
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 6: us four total touchdowns all season, zero receiving. Only two

226
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 6: opposing backs have managed to crack eighty rushing yards against

227
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,839
Speaker 6: New Orleans, and since Week three, no opposing back has

228
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 6: cleared twenty five receiving yards. So for those reasons, Tyler

229
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 6: Algier is on the bench. Even if Arthur Smith reverts

230
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 6: back to his same old Shenanigans. He did look like

231
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 6: a true backup in Week ten and again hopefully that

232
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 6: trend continues for the Bejon managers. But a bad matchup

233
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 6: for Bejon ce for him Alger on the bench. See

234
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 6: for Drake London had two decent games against New Orleans

235
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 6: last year, seven catches for seventy yards and five catches

236
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 6: for seventy four, but that's likely his ceiling against standout

237
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,200
Speaker 6: corner Marshawn Lattimore and the same secondary allowing less than

238
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 6: twelve catches and one hundred and forty yards per game

239
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 6: to wide receivers. They've also also streandered just seven scores

240
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 6: to wide receivers all year. So the softest of softest

241
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 6: of seas for Drake London, but a solid B for

242
00:10:59,240 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 6: Kyle Pitts.

243
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 4: I don't care. I know he doesn't.

244
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,680
Speaker 6: Play on tight end technically, but the Saints have allowed

245
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 6: at least one tight end touchdown five of.

246
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: The last time you were right, or on Kyle Pits,

247
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: or on your grade for Kyle Pits where he either

248
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: hit your grade, or the last time the last.

249
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 4: Time I said started me sort of touchdown.

250
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 6: And speaking of touchdowns, the Saint se have allowed at

251
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 6: least one tight end touchdown in five of the last

252
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 6: seven games. Opposing tight ends are also averaging nearly five

253
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 6: catches and fifty.

254
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 4: Yards per game.

255
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 6: So a seed for Pits sounds like, no, it's not

256
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,680
Speaker 6: well again. Whoever listeners out there, pick whatever side you

257
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 6: want there. But I got to see on Pits Smith

258
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 6: on the bench and Desmond Ritter got his job back.

259
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 4: But he's back on the bench.

260
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 5: Church. I purposely give Brian the Falcons matchup.

261
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 4: Oh I know you did.

262
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 3: I think.

263
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: I think you do that on purpose every time you

264
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: dole these out, no doubt.

265
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 6: At least Gott just sits there and laughs rather than

266
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 6: charging Matt ganging up on me.

267
00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 4: But I can handle it. It's all good.

268
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 1: I don't know's to listen by now, Listeners know to

269
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: take anything you say about Kyle Pitts with the grain asilums.

270
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 1: At least Brown's taking on Broncos. Let's start with Jerome

271
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 1: Ford with a great, big, best matchup on paper of

272
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: his season. Right here, Bronco's allowing a league worst one

273
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty two total yards per game to opposing

274
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: running backs. That's forty more than the next worst defense.

275
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 4: Holy cow.

276
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: They also allow one point three touchdowns per game to

277
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,839
Speaker 1: opposing running backs, third worst. So now Ford should be

278
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: an A grade here, But last week Kareem Hunt got

279
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: as many carries as Ford did, and so Ford and

280
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: fortably managed two point six yards per carry last week.

281
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: So I'm hedging a little bit on Ford with the

282
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 1: B grade here, but Kareem Hunt also C grade because

283
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: of the extremely positive matchup Ford gets should get more work.

284
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 4: But Kareem Hunt.

285
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: Absolutely startable here as well. The only two parts of

286
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: the passing game you're gonna start in this DTR led

287
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: passing offense David and Joku. By the way, five drops

288
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: for David and Joku in the past three sorry, two games.

289
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 1: It's been a disaster, but a staggering number of targets

290
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 1: with DTR. Get this, David and Joku the last two weeks.

291
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 4: Twenty four targets. Jesus unbelievable.

292
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: We see this all the time. Rookie quarterbacks love their

293
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: tight ends. The Broncos allow the most yards per game,

294
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 1: the fourth most receptions, and the fifth most touchdowns the

295
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: tight end. So David and Joku with a B grade.

296
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper comes in with a C grade. Tricky matchup

297
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: has will almost certainly see shadow coverage from excellent cornerback.

298
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 4: Patrick's certain.

299
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,079
Speaker 1: And here's what opposing number ones have done to Denver lately.

300
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: Jordan Addison forty four scoreless yards, Stefan Diggs thirty four

301
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: scoreless yards, Romeo Dobbs thirty scoreless yards. Over the past

302
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: five weeks, Denvers allowing the fifth fewest wide receiver yards

303
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: the third fewest wide receiver touchdowns. Two of Cooper's three

304
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: lowest yardage outputs of the season have come in DTR's

305
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: two starts. I had a C grade in Cooper. I

306
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: just tucked myself out of it. I'm going bench grade

307
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: on Amari Cooper. And then let's go over to the

308
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: Denver side. Let's start with the running backs there, Devonte Williams.

309
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 1: I see a lot of carries coming in this game.

310
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: Browns are easier to run upon than throw, and mostly

311
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 1: that's how Sean Payton's been winning games for this past

312
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: month has been by running Williams, who's had a ton

313
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: of catches over Denver's four game winning stretches as well.

314
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 4: He had.

315
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 1: Eighteen touches, thirty touches, twenty five touches just thirteen last week,

316
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: suggesting he's resty and he's ready for another high volume game.

317
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: Cleveland allows the seventh most yards per carry, and the

318
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: and the Browns do have the best run stop win rate,

319
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 1: but through sheer volume, I think Williams remains bankable here

320
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 1: and he comes in with a B grade.

321
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 4: I do like the volume.

322
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 5: In fairness to that thirteen. They were behind all game

323
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 5: and they were having p Ryan in the pass game.

324
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good point.

325
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 5: That's a good point why he had thirteen.

326
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, so man, JP Ryan third among running backs and

327
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 6: receiving yards.

328
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 4: It is wow.

329
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 5: Truth.

330
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would never have guessed that that's a it's

331
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 6: McCaffrey or with Shad White and then some a JP run.

332
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: Holy cow, I you'd have given me. I don't know,

333
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: thirty guesses. I don't think I would have gotten to

334
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 1: that conclusion.

335
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 4: Zero receiving touchdowns but thirty yards.

336
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's talk about the passing game for the Broncos,

337
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: and we'll wrap up this segment. Courtland Sutton, I love

338
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: the touchdowns and I'm not ruling one out here, but

339
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: Cleveland is a very tough matchup. They've surrendered the fewest

340
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: receptions the third fewest yards to opposing wide receivers. Sutton

341
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: matchup most often with Denzel Ward. Ward is allowing just

342
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: three scores in his coverage, none in the last four games,

343
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: and just a catch rate of just fifty one percent.

344
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: That's very low by cornerback standards C grade for Courtland Sutton,

345
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy, I was ready to get put on the bench,

346
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 1: but I think you can attack slot cornerback Greg News

347
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 1: him a little bit. He allows a passer rating of

348
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: one hundred and five and he's been beaten for two

349
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: scores in the last four games. Judy doesn't score very often,

350
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: but if you're looking for five catches for fifty yards,

351
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 1: Judy's your guy, and you can start him here with

352
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: a segrat And that really only leaves Russell Wilson to

353
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: discuss here. Get this, guys, he's averaging twenty completions per game.

354
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 4: That's it.

355
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 1: They just aren't passing and they don't need to and

356
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: Cleveland allows.

357
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 4: How about this. You want a.

358
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: Crazy stats samaj p Rand level crazy stat. Brown's allowing

359
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: fourteen completions per game.

360
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 4: That's unbelievable.

361
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: I don't like the receiver matchups very much for Wilson,

362
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, and he's going to face tremendous pressure.

363
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 1: Cleveland ranks fourth in pass rush win rate and Cleveland

364
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: allows the fewest passing yards the fewest passing touchdowns. So

365
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: Russ is on the bench when we come back. Oh,

366
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 1: nine players upon whom you can take a chance. We

367
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: got four games already in the books, so these are

368
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: going to be a little deeper dives than normal. That

369
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: means a lot of these p lawyers are going to

370
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: be available on your waiver wire. Find out who they

371
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: are when we come back for the second segment of

372
00:16:51,440 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly.

373
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 4: Take a chance on me.

374
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: Nine players not normally in your starting lineup. Let's find

375
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: out who they are. Beginning with Scott Fish your quarterback

376
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: this week.

377
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 5: Yes, my quarterback for the week is Gardner Minshew. Yeah.

378
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 5: He's playing a matchup against the Bucks who have allowed

379
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 5: a lot of really really good games but to really

380
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 5: good quarterbacks. But they allow the sixth highest pass right.

381
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 5: Teams are always throwing on the Bucks. Multiple scores and

382
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 5: three hundred plus and three the last five for Gardner Minshew.

383
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 5: The two he didn't were the two games he barely

384
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 5: had Josh downs. He need his will be out there.

385
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 5: His Woodby is going to be out there for this one.

386
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:04,640
Speaker 5: I really like him in this one.

387
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 1: You mean Jelanie Woods is coming back? No ham string

388
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 1: in the history of mankind?

389
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 4: What happened? They're big ham strings? Yeah, big ham strings.

390
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 4: Good happens. You take a chance on me, quarterback, Brian.

391
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 6: Have you got Matt Stafford at Arizona? Now, initially I

392
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 6: was gonna take this like snarky angle, assuming Cooper Cupp

393
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 6: was going to miss this game, because Matt Stafford averages

394
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 6: like fifty more passing yards per game when Cooper Cupp

395
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 6: is inactive. But Cooper Cup is going to play in

396
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 6: this game. But I'm still gonna roll with Matt Staffe.

397
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 6: Matt Stafford at Arizona. These teams met in Week six,

398
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 6: Stafford only at two hundred and twenty six passing yards

399
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 6: and one passing touchdown because Cooper Cup played in that game.

400
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 6: But also Kyler Murray did not play in that game,

401
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 6: and we love Josh Dobbs and in Minnesota, of course,

402
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 6: but Kyler Murray is an upgrade over Josh Dobbs at

403
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 6: quarterback for the Cardinals. So I see this game being

404
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:57,479
Speaker 6: a little more competitive, and the Cardinals are allowing more

405
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 6: than one and a half passing touchdowns per game.

406
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 4: So I'm going with Matt Stafford at Arizona.

407
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: Well, it's a perfect lead into my take a chance

408
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: to me quarterback? Who is Kyler Murray? Through two games?

409
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: I think his passing has looked pretty good, not great,

410
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 1: pretty good, and his runnings looked really good, totally unaffected

411
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: by the AC album. It's shocking, including rushing touchdowns in

412
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: both his games back, averaging forty one ground yards. I

413
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: did not, I absolutely did not see the running coming

414
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: from Kyler mur Murray off the ages.

415
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 5: That one scrambled in his first game back. I'm like, oh,

416
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 5: he's back.

417
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, he looked.

418
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 4: He looked completely like his old self.

419
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: The Rams allowed four quarterback rushing touchdowns already, and every

420
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: mobile quarterback they face is feasted on the Rams. Anthony Richardson,

421
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts, Josh Dobbs all topped forty seven yards and

422
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: two of the three scored rushing touchdowns against the Rams.

423
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: Kyler's arms is just icing on the cake here. The

424
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: Rams secondary pretty good, but every quarterback except Kenny Pickett

425
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,159
Speaker 1: and the then very hobbl Joe Burrow have thrown touchdowns

426
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 1: against the Rams. Kyler, Murray, you taking chance on me

427
00:19:58,359 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: quarterback to go to the running back positions?

428
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 5: Yes, charge game him a secrete in the last segment,

429
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 5: but he didn't go into depth because he knew I

430
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 5: was about to about how Kareem Hunch be in your

431
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 5: lineups this week. The Broncos allowing a league high one

432
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 5: eighty two total yards per game to the opposing running backs,

433
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 5: nearly forty yards per game more than the second worst team.

434
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 5: They also allow one point three touchdowns per game to

435
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 5: opposing running backs. That's good for third most, and the

436
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 5: Broncos have the worst run stop win rate in per

437
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 5: ESPN Analytics.

438
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, nice job.

439
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: Totally agree with that because our previously mentioned yes, Brian,

440
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: you take a chance from your running back.

441
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 6: I've got backup Steelers running back Najie Harris at Cincinnati.

442
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 4: Yes, offensive coordinator Matt Canada.

443
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 6: Canada fired to everyone's the light except Matt Canada's probably

444
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 6: hopefully benefits the entire offense. But again, at this point,

445
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 6: Harris should be considered the backup to Jalen Warren. We'll

446
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 6: talk more.

447
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 4: About that a little later. Back he's I think that

448
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 4: he's still considered the starter. Well in terms of touches,

449
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 4: it's like equal and just. But anyway back to Harris.

450
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 6: There still should be enough meat on the bone for

451
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 6: Harris against the Bengals, who are allowing nearly one hundred

452
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 6: and twenty conbo yards any touchdown per game to opposing

453
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 6: running backs. And of course those stats came with Joe

454
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 6: Burrow at quarterback, and no, Burrow was not good at

455
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 6: stopping the run, but he did help keep the Bengals

456
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 6: offense on the field, which I'm not convinced Jake Browning

457
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 6: will do. So I think we're going to see a

458
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 6: very run heavy game script from the Steelers. So I

459
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 6: got Najie Harris. Most people are very scared to start

460
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 6: at this point, and they should be.

461
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 1: If you give me a reason to start, ty J. Spears,

462
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: I will do that in Carolinas that reason. Now, normally

463
00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: this is the time of year when Derek Henry starts

464
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 1: battering tired defenses, but not now. He's fading hard with

465
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: back to back massive dud games totaling twenty eight yards

466
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: and forty four yards and barely three yards per carry.

467
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: Now over the past three weeks, Taj Spears has more

468
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: more snaps than Derrick Henry, only about half the volume

469
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: but half the touches, but more snaps. Spears is averaging

470
00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: five and a half yards per carry, a full yard

471
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: more than Henry, and maybe, just maybe, a desperate Titan

472
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: staff is gonna start looking for some jews from a

473
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: failing running game that to support a failing rookie quarterback.

474
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: Caroline has allowed the most rushing touchdowns, the second most

475
00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: rushing yards, and Spears also, by the way, he's just

476
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: really good.

477
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 5: Jus let's start him.

478
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 4: Let's go to our take a chance on me.

479
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 5: Receivers, Scott, Yeah, I'm going over to New England. Gonna

480
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 5: get Pop Douglas in the lineups this week. Giants allowing

481
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 5: the third most receptions and second most receiving yards to

482
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 5: opposing wide receivers. Pop Douglas himself has had a twenty

483
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,479
Speaker 5: four percent target share over the last four for New England,

484
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 5: five plus catches in three straight. His snaps targets catches, yards,

485
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 5: everything have increased each week for the last month.

486
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 4: Wow. Yeah, all right, Brian, your take a chance on me, receiver.

487
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,239
Speaker 6: I was gonna go to to at Well again. I

488
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 6: was assuming that Cooper Cup was gonna sit, but he

489
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 6: is not. So two to two is out. So I'm

490
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 6: going back to the Steelers, and I got tight end

491
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 6: Pat Fryermuth Mouth. He's might take a chance on me receiver.

492
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 6: Just one catch in his return last week, but that

493
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 6: was against Cleveland. He was needed as a blocker as

494
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 6: with the other Pittsburgh tight ends, but I think he

495
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 6: sees more work as a receiver in this one. Mouth

496
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 6: has had at least seventy five yards or a touchdown

497
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 6: catch in each of his four career games against the Bengals,

498
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 6: who are allowing nearly six catches and sixty five yards

499
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 6: per game to tight end. So I think Mouth comes

500
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 6: in this week and shine some light on the tight

501
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 6: end wasteland.

502
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,360
Speaker 1: Isaiah Likely is your new starting tight end for Baltimore.

503
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews leaves behind seven targets per game, and I

504
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 1: think most of those seven go right to Isaiah Likely,

505
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: who's got the innate athleticism to run. Andrews routes, and

506
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: the Baltimore starting wide receivers are all dealing with injury

507
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,880
Speaker 1: right now, so this feels like a likely game coming

508
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 1: up here against Los Angeles. Likely started two games last year.

509
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: One of them he had thirteen targets at one hundred yards.

510
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 1: The other one he scored a touchdown. Likely will face

511
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: off against the Chargers team that's allowed the third most

512
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: tight end receptions, the second most tight end yards, and

513
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,199
Speaker 1: they've allowed at least sixty yards to the position in

514
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:13,440
Speaker 1: five straight games.

515
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 4: So I like Isac spot a lot in this one.

516
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the matchups, and that begins with

517
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: this dud New England taking on the Giants. Scott on

518
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: the New England side. Oh, they're being all secretive about

519
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback. We don't want to tell you who it

520
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: is so that they can't game plan. It doesn't matter,

521
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter.

522
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,479
Speaker 5: I'm gonna make this real easy. I'm benching the passing

523
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 5: game for the New England Patriots, except for Pop Douglas,

524
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 5: who I gave it to take a chance on me.

525
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 5: Player the running game. I'm only starting Romandre Stevenson. It's

526
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 5: a B grade. The Giants are allowing a whopping four

527
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 5: point six yards per carry, good for fourth war worst

528
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 5: which is allowing, which has led to them allowing the

529
00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 5: second most yards and the fourth most rushing touchdowns. After

530
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 5: a slower start. Over the last five Stevenson has taken

531
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,320
Speaker 5: a hold of the backfield, averaging fifteen point six touches,

532
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 5: four of those being receptions, and eighty seven yards. He's

533
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 5: firmly in volume C territory, but given the matchup, he'll

534
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 5: get the B. In eleven games, a rusher has topped

535
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 5: one hundred yards nine times. You don't say how many,

536
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 5: nine times, nine times, nine times over. On the other side,

537
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,879
Speaker 5: the entire New York Giants passing game is on the bench.

538
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 5: I know Tommy DeVito had three touchdowns last week, somehow

539
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 5: two of went to Barkley. Though that's the guy you

540
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 5: want to start. By the way, it's not a good

541
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 5: matchup anyway for opposing passers against New England. Sequon Barkley

542
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 5: is getting an A grade here. Weirdly, even with DeVito's

543
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 5: big day, it was Barkley scoring points through the air

544
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 5: and on the ground over one hundred yards in four

545
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,199
Speaker 5: of the last five cut at least three passes in

546
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 5: all but one Pats are kind of middle of the

547
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 5: pack against the run, but similar volume backs have done

548
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 5: well and five of the six last five of six

549
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 5: lead backs, five backs of last six weeks, whatever the

550
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 5: lead backs have scored against the Patriots.

551
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: Steelers taking on the Bengals, Brian, I like, how tidy

552
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,880
Speaker 1: that one was not a lot to talk about there,

553
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: Steelers taking on the Bengals. Brian, you already told us

554
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 1: you like Pat Fryer mooth. So does that mean you

555
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,119
Speaker 1: like Kenny Pickett as a starter in this game?

556
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 4: No, he's on the bench.

557
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:23,479
Speaker 6: Let's talk about the running backs a little more. And

558
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 6: by the way, another divisional matchup here at another first

559
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 6: meeting of the season for the Steelers and Bengals. So

560
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 6: we will talk some recent recent history. But first let's

561
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 6: talk about Jalen Warren. Easy B for Warren, borderline A.

562
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 6: Here's where Warren ranks among running backs with fifty plus

563
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 6: carries per Pro Football Focus, which is a lot, not

564
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 6: a lot of carries, but a lot of running backs,

565
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 6: but Warren more than a lot.

566
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:46,640
Speaker 4: One fifty plus carries.

567
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 6: He's first in yards per rush six point two first

568
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 6: and ten plus yards ten plus yard runs per rush

569
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 6: first and miss tackles forced per rush first, in yards

570
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:02,199
Speaker 6: after contact per rush all first for Jalen Warren in

571
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 6: those metrics insane again. The Bengals are allowing nearly one

572
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,400
Speaker 6: hundred and twenty convo yards and a touchdown per game

573
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 6: to opposing running backs. To a B for Warren, there

574
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 6: will be some meat on the bone. Like I said

575
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 6: for Naji Harris, so he used might take a chance

576
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 6: with me. Running back over to the passing game, Pat

577
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 6: fairemouth was might take a chance with me receiver. I

578
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 6: do have a C grade also on wide receivers George

579
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 6: Pickens and Deontay Johnson. Without doing any research, I can

580
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,400
Speaker 6: tell you Deontay Johnson did not score against the Bengals

581
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 6: last year or anyone else for those who for good,

582
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 6: he had zero touchdowns. Pickens did have four catches eighty

583
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 6: three yards and a touchdown in the most recent meeting.

584
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:38,640
Speaker 4: But I like them both the same.

585
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,480
Speaker 6: Here the Bengals are allowing more than one hundred and

586
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 6: seventy yards per game to wide receivers, and they've surrendered

587
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 6: four scores to the position over their last three games.

588
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 6: And Bengals cornerback cam Taylor Britz should miss this game. Actually,

589
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 6: has been ruled out with the quad injury, so a

590
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 6: safety for Pickens and Deontay Johnson, but again Pickett is

591
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,919
Speaker 6: on the bench. Over to the bengalside, of course, missing

592
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 6: Joe Burrow, but we will start with Joe Mixon just

593
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,360
Speaker 6: to see for him. Mixon has only scored in two

594
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 6: of ten career games against the Steelers wow, most recent

595
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 6: game coming in twenty twenty one. But Pittsburgh is allowing

596
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 6: one hundred and thirty five conbo yards per game to

597
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 6: opposing running backs and Mixon virtually has no competition for

598
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,719
Speaker 6: touches out of the backfield. So this is a volume

599
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 6: based play with Jake Browning at quarterback, but just to

600
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 6: see for Mixan Mixon, and just to see sadly for

601
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 6: Jamar Chase. The Steelers have surrendered big numbers to wide

602
00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 6: receivers this year one hundred and eighty five yards and

603
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 6: a touchdown per game. But again, Jake Browning is now

604
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 6: the quarterback for the Bengals, so just a see for

605
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 6: Chase T.

606
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 4: Higgins.

607
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 6: I'm likely to play with the hamstring. He's on the

608
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 6: bench either way, even if he does suit up. Tyler

609
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 6: Boyd on the bench.

610
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: Welcome back to Fantasy Football Weekly, Paul Chargie and Scott

611
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: Fish and Brian Johnson with you. If you missed a

612
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: new part of the show and you want all of

613
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: my player rankings, they're available for free keyteen leagues dot com.

614
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 6: What about your pie rankings? Where do you have pumpkin?

615
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 6: I'm just kidding. Don't get me going on pumping.

616
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 4: I'm not.

617
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: Chiefs at Raiders. Next up, Patrick Mahomes Travis Kelsey. Usually

618
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 1: I just go wilder obvious as well. Them played like

619
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: it lately, right, so let's dive in a little bit.

620
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: Both of them have slumped for three games, and Las

621
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: Vegas is not the slump buster that you might think.

622
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: The Las Vegas secondary rank sixteenth by Pro Football Focus.

623
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: That's not bad. Max Crosby's fantastic. Now, the Chiefs to

624
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 1: have the league's top rated run sorry pass block win rates,

625
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: so you know, Max Crosby might be neutralized to some

626
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 1: degree here, but he's terrific. Cornerbacks Marcus Peters and Nate

627
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 1: Hobbs for Las Vegas both rank and the top third

628
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: amongst starting cornerbacks in coverage by Pro Football Focus. The

629
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: Raiders have been solid against tight ends this year, although

630
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: they did a lot of big games recently to Tyler

631
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: Conklin and Sam Laporta. But it's still Patrick Mahomes and

632
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey against the Raiders, and I can't give myself

633
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 1: to not give them a grades. Even though that offense

634
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: doesn't look right, that defense is kind of carrying the team.

635
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 5: Which is honestly scary. Once it starts to look right, man, then.

636
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 4: What because the defense has been really good.

637
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: It's jerious sneer gonna talk about in a minute, Holy cow,

638
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: let's talk about Isaiah Pacheco. Man, did I love the

639
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: way he ran a Monday night oh so hard against

640
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: a great Eagles to run defense. Compared to the Eagles,

641
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: this game is gonna feel very easy for Pacheco. Raiders

642
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: allow one hundred and forty six total yards per game

643
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: to opposing running backs. That is the second most in

644
00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 1: the league, and the Raiders allow four and a half

645
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: yards per carry to opposing.

646
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 4: Running backs, six the most.

647
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: The only reason I can't give Pacheco in a grade

648
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: here his receiving is completely dried up. We loved that

649
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: earlier in the year, were like, hey, we didn't think

650
00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: we're going to any receptions out of pa Checko and

651
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: there they were not lately over the past three games.

652
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: Pachecko has past three games, Pacheco has one receiving yard.

653
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 4: That's it.

654
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: So I can only go B grade and Isaiah Pajack McKinnon.

655
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,719
Speaker 1: Maybe that will give him a couple of receptions. If

656
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: you think that's the case, move him to an A

657
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: grade at your own discretion. We can't do anything with

658
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: these wide receivers. I lament this many weeks, and it's

659
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,479
Speaker 1: an old story that you already know. Really had hoped

660
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: that Rashid Rice at this stage, middle of his rookie year,

661
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: would start taking command. Not happening, So there's really no receiver.

662
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:40,959
Speaker 4: You can know all the metrics.

663
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 3: I know.

664
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 5: It's it's like the Kyle Pitts of wide receivers.

665
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 4: Except he's good. Let's go to Las Vegas side.

666
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs averaging a whopping twenty two rushes in the

667
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: last three games under Antonio Pierce, which you love, but

668
00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: Pierce has also dried up Jacob's targets. He had been

669
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 1: averaging four catches for thirty yards per game under Josh McDaniels.

670
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: Now it's like free. That's a free seven Fantasy points

671
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: right there out of your running back. But under Pierce

672
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:14,440
Speaker 1: he's averaging one catch for seven yards. That's wow, one

673
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: point seven fantasy points. The Chiefs pass defense is becoming

674
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,200
Speaker 1: smothering and the path of least resistance is on the ground,

675
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: So I think we're gonna get a lot of running

676
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: from Jacob's. Four straight opponents have had a runner top

677
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: seventy six yards against the Chiefs, and three of those

678
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: four have scored touchdowns. We've got a B grade on

679
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: Jacobs again, can't go A because he's not catching the ball,

680
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: but we'll go with the B grade on Josh Jacobs.

681
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: Here in the passing game, there's only two guys you

682
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: care about, and they're both really almost long shot starts.

683
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: Here DeVante Adams thirteen targets in back to back games,

684
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: which you love, eighty or more yards in both of

685
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: those and a score. Kansas City secondary surrendered the sixth

686
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,440
Speaker 1: fewest receptions and the seventh fewest yards opposing receivers. But

687
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: here's where it gets really Harry Adam's going to get

688
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: a law look at Lagarius Snead and he might be

689
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:08,280
Speaker 1: the best cornerback in the league right now. It's unbelievable

690
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 1: he has yet to allow a touchdown. He gives up

691
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: a fifty two passer rating in his coverage. He just

692
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: shut down AJ Brown on Monday, holding AJ Brown to

693
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: one catch for eight yards. In fact, over the last

694
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:26,320
Speaker 1: five games, he's averaging in his coverage one catch for

695
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: twelve yards. It's unbelievable that a starting cornerback can do that.

696
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: I can only get you to a B grade on Adams,

697
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 1: and really it should be a C grade, but I'm

698
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: giving him a B just on volume. Jacoby Myers won't

699
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: see Lagarius Snead, but Antonio Pierce is just killing him.

700
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: All those runs for Myers, all those targets for Adams

701
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: have come at the expense of Jacoby Myers since Pierce

702
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: took over Meyers averaging two catches for thirty two yps.

703
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: But because he won't see Lagerius Snead and instead he's

704
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,520
Speaker 1: gonna see cornerback Jalen Watson, He's given up five touchdowns

705
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: in his coverage along with a pass rating one hundred

706
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: and twenty three. So I still have a C grade

707
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: on Jacoby Myers. And there's no other Raiders that you

708
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: would consider starting.

709
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 4: I've got a league. I want to ask you guys

710
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 4: about Okay, Brian's in this league.

711
00:34:15,200 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 1: This is an Empire league, and for those that don't know,

712
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,439
Speaker 1: it's a dynasty league where half of the money gets

713
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 1: paid out every year and half of it's in a

714
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: rolling pot waiting for some team to win back to

715
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: back years and then they get the rolling pot and

716
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: the league dissolves.

717
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 4: Don't tell him how much money is in the pot

718
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 4: in case the irs.

719
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: No kidding, because it's been going for I think like

720
00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: eleven years now or something. I don't know, something like that,

721
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 1: So it's been going a long time. I am well

722
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 1: who I am? Is my role in this is not important.

723
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: You've got a team in this league, Scott, that is

724
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:47,799
Speaker 1: not a very good team.

725
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 5: Yep.

726
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: Two weeks ago, owner in this team started a bye

727
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,720
Speaker 1: week player no no, not cool no, and then last

728
00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: week started instead of benched Joe Mixon for Jeff Wilson.

729
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 4: In just the clear of the air, it's not me,

730
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 4: I'm not that. You're not that guy.

731
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: Okay, So what is the appropriate spot response for a

732
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:10,399
Speaker 1: commissioner here?

733
00:35:10,719 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 5: I feel like if it's if it's reported in time

734
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 5: to do so, you you fix the lineup. I believe

735
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:20,280
Speaker 5: leagues need to have valid starting lineups unless otherwise stated.

736
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 5: I have run leagues and had leagues that tanking is

737
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 5: one hundred percent allowed. We're like, tank if you want to.

738
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 5: It's understood if everybody knows going in. But like we've been,

739
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 5: we've both been playing for over thirty years. Setting valid

740
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 5: lineups and not tanking, not intentionally tanking, has been a

741
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,320
Speaker 5: rule forever. It's the one of the most known unwritten

742
00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 5: rules in fantasy football.

743
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: Correct and in this case, we've got a lot of

744
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: money degine that. The integrity of wins and loss is

745
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: a very big deal.

746
00:35:49,360 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 4: I'm trying to lose. You're giving wins to somebody who.

747
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 5: Are giving free win. I get the tanking to help

748
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,879
Speaker 5: your team, and that's why I have leagues where you're

749
00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:01,879
Speaker 5: allowed to tank. But if it's not stated, you can't

750
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 5: be allowing that.

751
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 4: No, I don't. So what do you do in retrospec?

752
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's Hopefully it's reported in time that the

753
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 5: commissioner can fix it. In leagues that I have that

754
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 5: don't allow tanking, if it's reported before that Thursday morning

755
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 5: stack correction, we're able to fix it.

756
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: All right, But what about it's one thing if a

757
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: player is just on buy right, you put a bye

758
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:24,560
Speaker 1: week player in, that's pretty easy. What about benching Joe

759
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 1: Mixon for Jeff Wilson.

760
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 5: Yes, so my rules have bye week injured or obviously

761
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 5: inferior players right in my by laws. I don't know

762
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 5: your by laws for that league, but yeah, we we

763
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 5: generally fix a lot of those. One way, it doesn't

764
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 5: happen too often because I vet my owners really well.

765
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 5: But you got you get, you get a person like that. Sometimes.

766
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 6: One way to mitigate this in this league, in any league,

767
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 6: whether it's Empire Dynasty, redraft, is you have the last

768
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 6: place penalty, whether it's you go to Pie Hop and

769
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 6: Death by Waffles or or waffle House whatever, or it's

770
00:36:58,280 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 6: a monetary penalty for coming in last place, like you

771
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,720
Speaker 6: gotta pay the first place team's entry fee or something

772
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:06,000
Speaker 6: like that.

773
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 4: I don't know, but.

774
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, that helps. I have a lot of leagues that

775
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 5: do uh draft order by potential points instead of your

776
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 5: starting lineup points or your win loss, and that way,

777
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 5: when someone benches the stud it does nothing for their

778
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 5: draft orders.

779
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 4: So they don't really interesting. It has really interesting.

780
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:27,560
Speaker 5: That's that's what one company does, and it is completely

781
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 5: removed tanking from the situation. Nobody tanks because it doesn't matter.

782
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 4: All right. That's I had never heard that suggestion. That's

783
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 4: a really good one. I will say.

784
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 6: I am playing this team this week and he's been

785
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 6: a big boy and he has a big boy lineup.

786
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 6: Good for you. You know who you are out there

787
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 6: if you're listening, Oh boy, but there's a there's a

788
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 6: compliant lineup.

789
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: I'm glad to hear that that's the case. What do

790
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 1: you do We're roll into this week and we've already

791
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 1: had four games played. What do you do if you're

792
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: way up like you you know, if you're way up

793
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,760
Speaker 1: because you started you know, Dak Presscott or you started

794
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 1: Christian mccaff or you started Jordan Love. Or what if

795
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: you're way down because you started Zach Charbonay or Brian

796
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,760
Speaker 1: Robinson or A. J. Dillond, DK metcalf for TJ. Lockett

797
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 1: or Gino Smith? What do you do if when either

798
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: of those scenarios as you head into this weekend's play?

799
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 5: I feel like we talk about this every year that

800
00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 5: we do right at this very at this very day.

801
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:17,240
Speaker 4: Every year we talked.

802
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 5: About Yeah, every year it's you go for the higher

803
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 5: upside plays even though even though the floor isn't there,

804
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 5: you switch it up and go for the guys you think.

805
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 5: They never up or down if you're down. Okay, I

806
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,400
Speaker 5: think it's that you know, it's just the reverse for

807
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 5: both of them. You play it safe. If you're up,

808
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,399
Speaker 5: you do you do the best upside play if you're down.

809
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 5: But mostly I think people don't have a lot of

810
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 5: those bench options. You just play your best players regardless

811
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 5: most of the time.

812
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 4: Most of the time.

813
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, if you're down big, you got to try and

814
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:45,720
Speaker 6: stack players from the same team, Yes, you can, or

815
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 6: you remove correlation from your opponents. Say I have the

816
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 6: quarterback and you're beating me. Charging you've got their number

817
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 6: one wide receiver. I gotta go another quarterback because I'm

818
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 6: not I'm not going to catch it.

819
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, vice versa. If you're ahead, you look for that Cortlage.

820
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: Uh is Geno Smith going to finish the year? Will

821
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,960
Speaker 1: he play out all of the games as Seattle starting quarterback?

822
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 6: I think if healthy and they're still in the playoff

823
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 6: on I think I think one of the other. Yeah,

824
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 6: but they fall out of the playoff hunt, which would

825
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 6: be hard in the NFC, even though I think if

826
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 6: they do, then they maybe give Locke a look. But

827
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 6: I'm gonna I'm gonna say yes for now.

828
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:27,399
Speaker 5: I'm gonna I'm gonna say yes.

829
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 1: It's tricky, isn't it. Yeah, I mean, right now if

830
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: with Geno Smith it does not look particularly good at

831
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,279
Speaker 1: the moment, I don't think. No, I don't think I

832
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,320
Speaker 1: don't think so either. There's a there's a lot of

833
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: questions around that that let's go to Jake brown how.

834
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:41,839
Speaker 5: About they catch from and jig By the other day?

835
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, that was fantastic. He's one hand.

836
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, the little shades of Odell Beckham, don't you think?

837
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 5: Yeah?

838
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 4: I thought so too.

839
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 1: Jake Browning's effect on this Bengals offense looks like it's

840
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: going to be potentially severe. What are your feelings on

841
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 1: Bengals going forward?

842
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 4: And you know you're probably were going to.

843
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 5: Start ja March, but everybody else is the one you

844
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 5: trust and for mix in for for everybody else in

845
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 5: that offense. I think the best thing you can possibly

846
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 5: do is tune into Fantasy Football weekly every week to

847
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,360
Speaker 5: get our grades on those players. Like that idea, I

848
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 5: think that's the best you can do.

849
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,479
Speaker 1: Browning's got a little mobility to him, the passing looks

850
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: pretty suspect. So I'm I know, I'm pretty I'm pretty

851
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: nervous about the rest of that group, and even Chase,

852
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: I think is going to have some dud games get

853
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: mixed in that are going to frustrate a lot of owners.

854
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I got a question for you, since we're just

855
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 5: randomly asking questions at the end of the.

856
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:41,080
Speaker 4: Segment, Who's this isn't even three tough questions kind of who's.

857
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 5: The rookie wide receiver you want most next year? Jane Reid, Pukka,

858
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 5: Tank Dell, There's Jordan Addison, Tank Del Is it Tanked Dell?

859
00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 4: Quarterback?

860
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 5: Okay?

861
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 3: Yeah?

862
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,320
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, I mean you think he'll be the highest

863
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,759
Speaker 5: ranked rookie in Dynasty, you know, for Dynasty leagues next year?

864
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 4: For yeah, I do, Okay, I do.

865
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:04,920
Speaker 1: Has a chance to be awesome. Like you know, if

866
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:07,719
Speaker 1: we roll the clock ahead one or two years, he

867
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 1: might be the best quarterback. That's right, It's possible. By

868
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: the way, c J. Stroud, this is an embtting show.

869
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, c J.

870
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,760
Speaker 1: Stroud to an MVP rookie the year has already done.

871
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 1: Yea MVP plus eighteen hundred eighteen to one. Yep, and

872
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: who's in his way? I mean, sure, Jalen Hurts, his

873
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: team is nine and one, but Hurts hasn't played that

874
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:35,280
Speaker 1: well honestly, and or Patrick Mahomes, he hasn't played that well.

875
00:41:35,800 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 4: The AFC is like it's up for grabs.

876
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 1: Houston's one game out of first place with a tie

877
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: breaker one.

878
00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 4: You know, they're one win out of first place in

879
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:44,280
Speaker 4: the AFC.

880
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,399
Speaker 1: So to win MVP, you've got to be a really

881
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:51,320
Speaker 1: good quarterback on a highly seeded team that could.

882
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,680
Speaker 5: Be stroud it absolutely, I like it eighteen to one.

883
00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:56,800
Speaker 1: I like it now where if you are an illegal,

884
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 1: you're in an area where you can bet legally. That

885
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 1: is something you could you could give some thought to

886
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:04,520
Speaker 1: if you wanted to as a possibility. All right, so

887
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: let me get you with a couple other time killers

888
00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,799
Speaker 1: year before three. Well, I know I know this get

889
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: three tough. I know it is incredible've I don't think

890
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: we've ever had ever had a segment with so much

891
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 1: free available timing.

892
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, we only did one one matchup in this segment.

893
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 1: I know we never have a one matchup segment, but

894
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: that's just how it worked. I blame the Patriots and

895
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 1: the Giants by the way for that. Yeah, and then

896
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: well we'll roll right back into the matchups in just

897
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: a few minutes. Uh, But let's talk Browns for for

898
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 1: just just a splash for a second here on Browns. Yeah,

899
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,800
Speaker 1: Jerome Ford is a power, you know, as a lead

900
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 1: back on a team that now almost has to run

901
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: the ball.

902
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 4: It could be a sneaky league winner, could be.

903
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 5: He could be And people don't see him that way.

904
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 1: At all, not at all, But I think there's a

905
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,399
Speaker 1: chance Jerome Ford one of those guys where you look

906
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: back and go, yeah, he powered me through into and

907
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:54,040
Speaker 1: through the playoffs.

908
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 6: Well, they're going to run and play defense in Cleveland.

909
00:42:56,719 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 6: That's that's the game plan.

910
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 4: That's about all they can no shaker there, That's about it,

911
00:43:00,960 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 4: all right.

912
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 1: When we come back, three tough questions, you'll want to

913
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: see if you can go three and zero against our

914
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 1: co hosts, Scott and Brian. Also later on in the show,

915

Speaker 3: Off question number one.

926
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 4: For the rest of the season.

927
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:07,359
Speaker 1: Baltimore tight end Isaiah Likely will most commonly get what

928
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: letter grade on this show, A B, C or bench.

929
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 1: Now you already know he got to B grade for

930
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: me earlier in the show.

931
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 4: Do we do that one yet?

932
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:19,879
Speaker 5: Yeah?

933
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, he might take a chance. When we played all

934
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 1: we didn't break it down yet.

935
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 5: Oh we didn't break down the beach.

936
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:26,320
Speaker 4: All right. So let's be in with Scott.

937
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 5: Fish all right. So I think it's going to be

938
00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 5: between A being a C for most of the matchups.

939
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 5: Here I put C though. My thoughts here are the

940
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 5: Ravens went heavy to Beckham after Andrews left. That's where

941
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,280
Speaker 5: the ball started going. Once Andrews is down. They didn't

942
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:45,359
Speaker 5: immediately shove Likely into that role. And you talked about

943
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,880
Speaker 5: the two games last year. One of them there is

944
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 5: one catch one touchdown, that's all was. The other one

945
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 5: was a Week seventeen game where Anthony Brown started. They're

946
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,960
Speaker 5: two top wide receivers and their top tight end. We're

947
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 5: out and the Kane Corpse of Kenyan Drake was in

948
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 5: it running back. Because all their running backs were injured,

949
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 5: they had to go to Isaiah likely thirteen times. I

950
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 5: do like that they went to him, but I'm not

951
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:14,720
Speaker 5: as confident as if those two were two normal games

952
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 5: in the middle of the season with Lamar Jackson. I

953
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,960
Speaker 5: feel like there's there's something to be said for the

954
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 5: fact that they went to Beckham so much right after

955
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 5: he went out. So I'm gonna go C grade. He's

956
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:26,839
Speaker 5: gonna get some bes though. There are some matchups, all.

957
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:27,400
Speaker 4: Right, Brian.

958
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:30,839
Speaker 1: Rest of the season, Baltimore tight end Isaiah likely will

959
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,279
Speaker 1: most commonly get what letter grade from this show.

960
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:36,399
Speaker 6: Definitely no worse than the Sea. We wouldn't be giving

961
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 6: Mark Andrews a see in any matchup if you were healthy,

962
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,759
Speaker 6: and we know Andrews is gonna miss most of the

963
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 6: regular season, at least through Week seventeen. Yeah, this is

964
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:48,719
Speaker 6: what we started presuming, and Fantasy just wanted to hammer

965
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,840
Speaker 6: that home. But so likely will be the starting tight end.

966
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 6: But you know what, they have other tight ends in Baltimore.

967
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 6: Charlie Kohler, I believe is one. I say it likely

968
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,399
Speaker 6: might be needed to play wide receiver and he can

969
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:04,480
Speaker 6: do that. Obj is banged up, Zay Flowers banged up,

970
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 6: even though he's looking likely to play on Monday Night.

971
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 6: Rashad Bateman just not very good. So there's some shootout

972
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:13,760
Speaker 6: potential on the horizons starting this week at the Chargers.

973
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 6: The forty nine ers on the docket, that is actually

974
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 6: someone of the favorable matchup for opposing pass attacks. So

975
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,280
Speaker 6: I got to be on the majority of the games

976
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 6: remaining for Isaiah Likely.

977
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,760
Speaker 1: Five games left, including this weekend, only one difficult matchup

978
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 1: San Francisco on the schedule. The other four are somewhere

979
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:32,400
Speaker 1: between neutral and easy. And I've already gave you a

980
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 1: bunch of key points about Isaiah Likely earlier in the

981
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 1: show during take a chance on Me now if you

982
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: don't know, Isaiah Likely is not a blocker. He is

983
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: a pure receiving tight end and athletic enough to replace

984
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 1: Andrews routes. He can run those routes. Andrews to this

985
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 1: point has six touchdowns. All of the rest of the

986
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 1: receivers on the team have six touchdowns. Yeah, this is

987
00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: an offense that offensive coordinator Todd Moncodon.

988
00:46:58,920 --> 00:46:59,839
Speaker 5: Oh there's their thing.

989
00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 4: Don't ball me, thank you.

990
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 1: Art Monkin schemes his tight ends for scores, and I

991
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,600
Speaker 1: don't think he's got to change it for Isaacah likely

992
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: most commonly B grade.

993
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,240
Speaker 3: Okay, tough question number two.

994
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 1: Rest of season Chicago quarterback Justin Fields will most commonly

995
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:17,919
Speaker 1: get what letter grade from this show?

996
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 4: We begin with Brian Johnson.

997
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 6: All right, looking at his last five games from a

998
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 6: fantasy perspective again ending in week seventeen, starting this week,

999
00:47:26,640 --> 00:47:28,840
Speaker 6: And this is just from a purely passing perspective in

1000
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:29,319
Speaker 6: my mind.

1001
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:33,320
Speaker 4: At Minnesota, I got a C. Then by then.

1002
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 6: Home against Detroit that's a bee. At Cleveland that's a C.

1003
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 6: Maybe bench, maybe bench Arizona be Atlanta C. But Justin

1004
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 6: Fields doesn't.

1005
00:47:43,239 --> 00:47:45,479
Speaker 4: Just rely on his arm. No, He's got legs, of course.

1006
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 6: So I'm bumping all those grades up a notch based

1007
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 6: on his legs. And if you do that, I got

1008
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 6: mostly bees for Justin Fields.

1009
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 4: Scott.

1010
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:57,280
Speaker 1: Rest of season Chicago quarterback Justin Fields will most commonly

1011
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 1: get what letter grade on this show.

1012
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 5: It's almost exactly word for word what I had. I

1013
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 5: went through, but I did not split it up. I

1014
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 5: have him with four b's and one see the Browns,

1015
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 5: one being really the only tough spot where I don't

1016
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 5: feel I can, you know, confidently start justin fields.

1017
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 1: Four of the five remaining games are against teams that

1018
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 1: are in the bottom half of quarterback rushing yards allowed,

1019
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: and only Cleveland looks like the stopper. Even then because

1020
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,080
Speaker 1: of the rushing he said couldn't get a C grade

1021
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,480
Speaker 1: in that game coming into it. He might finish, might

1022
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:30,960
Speaker 1: finish better than that offensive coordinator Luke Getzi. God bless him,

1023
00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:33,439
Speaker 1: and I haven't said that often this year. I love

1024
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 1: the fact that last week, the first game off of

1025
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: him missing you know, a month of service, they ran

1026
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 1: him fourteen times right off the bat too.

1027
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,000
Speaker 5: By the way, I think the three games, if you

1028
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 5: don't count the Minnesota game where he got injured, I

1029
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 5: believe that his last three games he's had like thirty

1030
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 5: Fantasy points each.

1031
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:51,880
Speaker 1: I think that's probably just last three play's average sixty

1032
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:54,759
Speaker 1: five rushing yards in his last since Week four, I

1033
00:48:54,800 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: think that is three games he's been a top ten

1034
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 1: quarterback in every full game he's played since Week four,

1035
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: already B grade this week. I think he's going to

1036
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: finish with A grades against Detroit and Arizona, C grade

1037
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 1: against Cleveland, and a B grade against Atlanta. You mix

1038
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 1: all that together, it's almost an A, but it's almost

1039
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 1: an It's going to be a B grade as the

1040
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:17,320
Speaker 1: most common grade for justin fields.

1041
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:19,600
Speaker 3: Tough question number three.

1042
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:23,760
Speaker 1: All right, let's fast forward to Tuesday. Should I sabotage

1043
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:27,799
Speaker 1: drop Garrett Wilson? He ended up with a garbage time

1044
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 1: touchdown in the end of Friday's game, obviously, well, and

1045
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:34,760
Speaker 1: again we clarified last week you weren't here for this, Scott.

1046
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,279
Speaker 1: We clarified exactly what constitutes the seminotage drop.

1047
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:38,319
Speaker 4: You know all about it.

1048
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,480
Speaker 1: It's got to be somebody good enough that your opponents

1049
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,240
Speaker 1: will pick them up, start them, and they'll hurt your.

1050
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,839
Speaker 5: Opponent and also waste.

1051
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, and hopefully waste bab money or roster positioning or whatever.

1052
00:49:49,160 --> 00:49:52,840
Speaker 4: So yes, So fast forward to Tuesday. Should I sabotage

1053
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:53,880
Speaker 4: drop Garrett Wilson?

1054
00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 5: Scott, I am going to lean no, and I'm not

1055
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 5: even that strong on it, but he's seen twenty five

1056
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,919
Speaker 5: to thirty percent of Tim Boyle's targets in the game

1057
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 5: in a quarter or whatever. He had ten targets in

1058
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 5: that Friday game as well. The garbage time touched on

1059
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 5: the yard is is going to be low, but it's

1060
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 5: a lot of usage. And my thought process is you're

1061
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 5: probably replacing someone's wide receiver three or four in their lineup,

1062
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 5: and Garrett Wilson, what he's going to do going ford

1063
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 5: is probably actually helping, you know, a little bit better

1064
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 5: than what that person probably has on their team. So

1065
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go with no. But I get it. I

1066
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 5: get it.

1067
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:38,600
Speaker 1: Brian, fast forward to Tuesday. Should I sabotage drop Garrett Wilson?

1068
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:42,480
Speaker 6: Initially I was going to say no too, because all season,

1069
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 6: from the moment Aaron Rodgers went down which was the

1070
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:49,480
Speaker 6: first drive of the season for the Jets, Garrett Wilson

1071
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:53,480
Speaker 6: has managed essentially put up wide receiver two numbers before

1072
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:54,120
Speaker 6: last week.

1073
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:56,800
Speaker 4: That's not the Black Friday game. He total dud last week.

1074
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 6: As we mentioned, he had the garbage time touchdown on

1075
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:02,359
Speaker 6: the black the Black Friday game against the Dolphins. They

1076
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:04,359
Speaker 6: have the Dolphins again in Week fifteen, but looking at

1077
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 6: the two games before that, versus Atlanta versus Houston. Those

1078
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:10,359
Speaker 6: are bad matchups where I might give Wilson to see

1079
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 6: if Aaron Rodgers was healthy. Then they get Miami again,

1080
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 6: where you only at the twenty nine yards in the

1081
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:18,359
Speaker 6: garbage time touchdown. You can't bank on that again. Then

1082
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:22,440
Speaker 6: Washington week sixteen, the only good matchup Week seventeen at Cleveland.

1083
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 6: You're not touching that. That's a Thursday night game. Two gross,

1084
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:30,000
Speaker 6: So sabotage drop him. Listen to y'all, y'all, Okay, it's

1085
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 6: a sabotage.

1086
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 1: So we're at a point in the season where I

1087
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 1: think we can start talking about the playoffs and ask

1088
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 1: yourself this, can I win my league starting a Jets

1089
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 1: wide receiver three straight times?

1090
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:46,400
Speaker 3: Uh?

1091
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 4: Huh, No, no way.

1092
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: And that's why we're gonna sabotage drop Okay, Garrett Wilson,

1093
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 1: unless you want to roll the dice. Maybe on like

1094
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers coming back, you know, way earlier.

1095
00:51:55,719 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 5: So Tannehill gain released and something like that have to be.

1096
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 4: A change of quarterback, which it's not. I don't think

1097
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 4: it's coming.

1098
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:07,239
Speaker 1: It seems very unlikely anyway, And as Brian mentioned, I

1099
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 1: had to this my notes too. The Washington start is

1100
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:11,160
Speaker 1: the only one where you feel like I can put

1101
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:13,320
Speaker 1: him in my lineup and feel good about Garrett Wilson.

1102
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:14,480
Speaker 4: All the rest are bad.

1103
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 1: And then the week seventeen, and I'd like to believe

1104
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 1: I'm playing in Week seventeen. Total stopper for Garrett Wilson.

1105
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 4: Let's sabotage, drop him and see what happens. And again,

1106
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:23,880
Speaker 4: don't do it just to do it. It has to

1107
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 4: benefit you.

1108
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 6: Maybe you improve your waiver position, or you're gonna knock

1109
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 6: out the fab leader in the league or anything.

1110
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 1: It's gonna hurt mine. It's gonna hurt the guy that

1111
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:32,920
Speaker 1: my opponent that picks him up. That's how it benefits me.

1112
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:38,280
Speaker 1: I think Bucks taking on the Colts Scott Baker Mayfield

1113
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,719
Speaker 1: something we've talked about many times in this show because

1114
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:42,839
Speaker 1: he keeps popping up with these positive matchups, and we're

1115
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: gonna take a chance on me Staple.

1116
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're not even allowed to. You choose them chance.

1117
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:48,840
Speaker 4: We're done with Baker.

1118
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:50,920
Speaker 5: We're done, We're done.

1119
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:52,319
Speaker 4: What do you think about him this week?

1120
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 5: It's another okay spot. I got a secret on him.

1121
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:57,240
Speaker 5: Four of the last five QBS to face the Colts

1122
00:52:57,239 --> 00:53:00,319
Speaker 5: were hauled under one hundred and eighty five yards. The

1123
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:03,800
Speaker 5: last five quarterbacks combined for five touchdowns and eight pecks.

1124
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:07,320
Speaker 5: It hasn't been stellar, but Baker's getting two undred thirty

1125
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:09,719
Speaker 5: to two hundred and eighty yards one to two touchdowns.

1126
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:14,399
Speaker 5: Those quarterbacks that face the Colts, I would say at

1127
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 5: Baker's level or worse. And the Colts have given up

1128
00:53:17,120 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 5: the eighth most touchdowns. Yeah, I got a C grade, don't.

1129
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 5: I don't love it, but I'm gonna guess you might

1130
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:27,080
Speaker 5: have a better matchup with nobody on buy so I

1131
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:29,439
Speaker 5: can see Benjamin Mike Evans. I got a B grade

1132
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 5: on he's still seeing forty percent of the team's episode targets,

1133
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 5: which is he's scored in seven different games, scored in

1134
00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 5: four of the last five. Lead receivers against the Colts

1135
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:44,960
Speaker 5: are averaging seven for ninety eight yards on ten targets.

1136
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 5: I can see Mike Evans doing that. I got a

1137
00:53:46,719 --> 00:53:50,880
Speaker 5: B grade there, C grade on Chris Godwin. He scored

1138
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:54,759
Speaker 5: just once this year because Mike Evans's gayed all that.

1139
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, and hasn't topped sixty yards in a month,

1140
00:53:59,400 --> 00:54:01,839
Speaker 5: but he's still getting six plus targets. He's getting four

1141
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:05,399
Speaker 5: plus catches in almost every single game, and that four

1142
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 5: to six catches forties to seventy yards with no scores.

1143
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:12,120
Speaker 5: That's like that Sea level. Yeah. Yeah, you're getting barely

1144
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:15,440
Speaker 5: over double digit points from him bench grade on Kaitot

1145
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:18,839
Speaker 5: and he's seen better matchups and despite playing ninety five

1146
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:21,799
Speaker 5: percent of the time, he's averaging like three to thirty

1147
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 5: and you need to enough. Yeah, Rashad White B grade there.

1148
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:27,919
Speaker 5: I love the usage recently, especially in the past game.

1149
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 5: Over the last five weeks, White has turned into a

1150
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 5: bell cow, averaging nineteen touches, five of them being receptions.

1151
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:39,359
Speaker 5: Five receptions a game, like you had thirty yards, you're

1152
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 5: getting like eight eight points minimum, nine points minimum through

1153
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,719
Speaker 5: the pass game. He's also scored four times the last

1154
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:50,319
Speaker 5: three weeks. He converted four his four of his five

1155
00:54:50,360 --> 00:54:54,560
Speaker 5: attempts inside the five. I know Charch loves that. The Colts'

1156
00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:57,920
Speaker 5: eighth easiest matchup for opposing runners. We just watched Zeke

1157
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 5: and Ramandre Stevenson go for one hundred ninety total on

1158
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 5: this team last in the last matchup over to the

1159
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:05,960
Speaker 5: other side. Gardner Minshew was my take a chance on

1160
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 5: me player and a big part of that is because

1161
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 5: he's got his wood Bee Josh downs coming back, right.

1162
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,720
Speaker 5: I have a B grade on Josh downs. No team

1163
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 5: allows more fantasy points to the slot than the Bucks.

1164
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 5: In fact, they allow twice as many fantasy points to

1165
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:21,719
Speaker 5: the slot as they do to the perimeter. The only

1166
00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 5: other team in that category is the Steelers, which they don't.

1167
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:26,800
Speaker 5: They're not really playing a great slot guy this week anyway.

1168
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 5: Last two weeks were not good, not good slot mach

1169
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:34,440
Speaker 5: slot matchups. But this one is the two previous that

1170
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:36,440
Speaker 5: he had where there was a good slot matchup. He

1171
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:38,239
Speaker 5: went seven for seventy two and then he had one

1172
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:41,719
Speaker 5: hundred plus yard in a score day. Bucks allowed the

1173
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:45,359
Speaker 5: second most touchdowns to the slot. Just they're bad all

1174
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 5: round against the slot. Alec Pierce cardio boy running ninety

1175
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:51,320
Speaker 5: percent of the route, seeing ten percent of the targets.

1176
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:57,800
Speaker 5: Is on the bench, Jonathan cardio Boy. Jonathan Taylor B grade.

1177
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:02,720
Speaker 5: Moss dropped from fifteen touch to eight to one touch.

1178
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 4: You know, Moss have played pretty pretty well this season.

1179
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:10,040
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, but since getting that full work well workload

1180
00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:12,280
Speaker 5: from Jonathan Taylor over the last three weeks, he's averaging

1181
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:15,239
Speaker 5: over twenty touches ninety yards, scoring three of those four

1182
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 5: Tampa Bay. It's a good defense against backs. It's mostly

1183
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:22,520
Speaker 5: because they don't run. Teams do not run a lot

1184
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:27,400
Speaker 5: on them. It's fourth hardest, but only four backs have

1185
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 5: had more than fifteen touches against the Bucks. Those backs

1186
00:56:30,719 --> 00:56:33,239
Speaker 5: averaged about one hundred and ten yards. So I have

1187
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:34,720
Speaker 5: a B grade on Jonathan Taylor.

1188
00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:38,440
Speaker 1: All right, when we come back, Panthers take on the Titans.

1189
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:40,880
Speaker 1: We'll see if there's any Panther other than Adam Thielen

1190
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 1: that you dare try in this matchup. Bryan's tempted to

1191
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 1: answer that, Now, don't you got to make people wait

1192
00:56:48,160 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 1: for an exciting.

1193
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 5: Pants just drop all the Panthers except for Adam at

1194
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:52,560
Speaker 5: this point.

1195
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:55,280
Speaker 4: Might be the case. We'll find out when we come back.

1196
00:56:55,440 --> 00:57:35,040
Speaker 1: More Fantasy Football Weekly, Stay tuned, Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly.

1197
00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 4: A big block oh matchups for you.

1198
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 1: Beginning with Panthers Titans. Doesn't feel like there's a lot

1199
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 1: of meat on this bone. But Adam Thelon's been really good,

1200
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 1: so I mean there's.

1201
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 4: That, right.

1202
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, if there was a vegan matchup, this would probably

1203
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 6: be it. So yeah, Adam Feeling will start with him,

1204
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 6: he gets a be with head coach Frank Reich, back

1205
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 6: to calling plays, feeling his money in the bank again.

1206
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:02,880
Speaker 6: He's double digit targets and back to back games and

1207
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:06,000
Speaker 6: in five of his last six. The Titans are allowing

1208
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:08,440
Speaker 6: fifteen catches, one hundred and eighty two yards and one

1209
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 6: touchdown per game to wide receivers. And honestly, that whole

1210
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 6: line could go to Adam Thielen in this game. It's

1211
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 6: not going to Jonathan Mingo, who's on the bench. Through

1212
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 6: nine games, Mingo has totaled twenty four catches for two

1213
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 6: hundred and twenty six scoreless yards. We're talking about the

1214
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 6: fifth wide receiver taken the thirty ninth overall pick. Wow,

1215
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:28,160
Speaker 6: I mean Tank Dell who can Like the list goes

1216
00:58:28,200 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 6: on and on it. Carolina Brick to this draft bad.

1217
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 6: So that speaks to Bryce Young. He is on the

1218
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:37,120
Speaker 6: bench tight end, Tommy Tremble on the bench, and Miles

1219
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:39,959
Speaker 6: Sanders and Miles Sanders and Cuba Hubbard on the bench

1220
00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 6: as well. Just when looked like Hubbard was going to

1221
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 6: take over a full time role, he and Sanders both

1222
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 6: touched the ball twelve times last week and played an

1223
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:49,960
Speaker 6: almost equal number of snaps twenty nine to twenty seven.

1224
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:53,800
Speaker 6: Tennessee's one stout run defense has somewhat eroded. But you

1225
00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 6: can't trust Hubbard or Sanders against anyone at this point.

1226
00:58:57,400 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 1: I thought Sanders ran as well oh last week as

1227
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 1: I've seen him all year.

1228
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:04,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, you look, you look good. But it's still not

1229
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 6: a great matchup on paper.

1230
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:08,840
Speaker 1: I'm not advocating starting him. I'm just noting I thought

1231
00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:10,400
Speaker 1: he looked. He looked kind of spry.

1232
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:13,560
Speaker 6: And worth mentioning the Panthers if anyone is still contemplating

1233
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 6: starting either of these backs lost starting right guard Austin

1234
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 6: Corbett to ir so bad all around for Carolina over

1235
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:28,840
Speaker 6: to the Titan side. A great fantasy fantasy bonzie for

1236
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 6: Derrick Henry. This should be a vintage King Henry game,

1237
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:34,280
Speaker 6: and sadly it might.

1238
00:59:34,120 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 4: Be his last of his career.

1239
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:38,840
Speaker 6: But this is a smash spot for Henry, who faces

1240
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 6: the Panthers defense allowing one hundred and fifteen rushing yards

1241
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 6: per game to running backs.

1242
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 4: That's on the ground alone.

1243
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 6: That is the fifth most opposing backs also averaging nearly

1244
00:59:47,840 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 6: five catches per game against Carolina, who have surrendered sixteen

1245
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:54,480
Speaker 6: total touchdowns to the running back position that is the

1246
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:57,240
Speaker 6: most and that is why TYJ. Spears was your take

1247
00:59:57,280 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 6: a chance on me running back charts. He will certainly

1248
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 6: have a role in this game.

1249
01:00:00,120 --> 01:00:01,000
Speaker 4: Hmmm as well.

1250
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 6: And the last Titan that I will give a starting

1251
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:05,920
Speaker 6: grade to is DeAndre Hopkins. But just to see, Hopkins

1252
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 6: has seen a twenty six percent target share with Will

1253
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 6: Levis as his quarterback. That is good, but Levis is not.

1254
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 6: And this is also not a great matchup. Teams just

1255
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:16,200
Speaker 6: do not throw on Carolina.

1256
01:00:16,360 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 4: I don't have to. Carolina has yielded the.

1257
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:20,840
Speaker 6: Third fewest targets to wide receivers who are averaging im

1258
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 6: easily eleven catches and one hundred and thirty yards per

1259
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 6: game as a whole against Carolina. And that's why Chris Moore,

1260
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:29,840
Speaker 6: Nick Westbrook, a Kine Kylo Phillips on the bench. Treylon

1261
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:33,640
Speaker 6: Burks has been ruled out again, and then Jigoconquo, Trevon

1262
01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 6: Westco and Josh Wiley, the tight ends all played.

1263
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 4: Exactly sixteen snaps last week. Why they're on the bench.

1264
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 6: At because I look, I want we all wanted Jigoconquo

1265
01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 6: to be something, but he's sadly not at least this year.

1266
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:49,880
Speaker 1: Derek Henry got me chopped in two guillotine leagues last week,

1267
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:51,680
Speaker 1: and now he comes back this week with like the

1268
01:00:51,880 --> 01:00:55,560
Speaker 1: Primo app Tours, He's going to rub salt in that way. Unfortunately,

1269
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 1: Ravens taking on the Chargers. Let's talk this one through.

1270
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:02,840
Speaker 1: Speaking of guys that have been underperforming, Lamar Jackson actually

1271
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 1: playing pretty well, but it hasn't equated to Fantasy box scores,

1272
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:08,680
Speaker 1: but it will this week.

1273
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 4: Chargers.

1274
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 1: Of the opponent, they allow the most passing yards and

1275
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:13,840
Speaker 1: it's not close by the way, three hundred and eleven

1276
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:16,479
Speaker 1: per game. The only quarterbacks who have failed to score

1277
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 1: multiple touchdowns against the Chargers are backups. Jackson's got an

1278
01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:24,400
Speaker 1: elite matchup all over the field, including even at the

1279
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 1: tight end right Isaiah Likely, who we like. Chargers are

1280
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:30,400
Speaker 1: decent run defense, so there's less likelihood of Gus Edwards

1281
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 1: dominating the touchdowns like he has of lately. Chargers lost

1282
01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:36,000
Speaker 1: Joey Bosa to a foot injury, so Jackson's gonna have

1283
01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 1: time in the pocket. There's just so much to like

1284
01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:40,959
Speaker 1: about Lamar here. This is an easy a grade for him.

1285
01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:43,800
Speaker 1: Let's go to the receivers. Let's sart as a Flowers,

1286
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 1: who says he's going to play. Chargers have allowed the

1287
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:49,680
Speaker 1: fourth most yards to wide receiver, second most scores to

1288
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:52,680
Speaker 1: the position. Flowers runs from all over the field and

1289
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 1: as a particularly primo matchup against cornerback Michael Davis, who's

1290
01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 1: allowed six scores, the second most.

1291
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 4: Among all play. Flowers problem though, is touchdowns.

1292
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:05,720
Speaker 1: He's got one on the season, and because of his

1293
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:09,120
Speaker 1: diminutive stature, I just think he's not an end zone target.

1294
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:11,200
Speaker 5: He has had two called back annoyingly.

1295
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 4: Ah, that is frustrating.

1296
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 6: And if you're banking on Zay Flowers, he says he's

1297
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:16,720
Speaker 6: gonna play, but this is the Sunday night game, you

1298
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 6: might want to grab Nelson Aguilar just.

1299
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:20,760
Speaker 4: In the event your backup. Yeah great, cough a late

1300
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:21,760
Speaker 4: scratch or something like that.

1301
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 1: Oh no, Beckham's also a game time decision, so he's

1302
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:26,760
Speaker 1: got the shoulder injury. So another reason you could go

1303
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:29,840
Speaker 1: get Nelson Aguilar, who's actually been fantasy startable in a

1304
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:31,640
Speaker 1: couple of these spots over the course of the season.

1305
01:02:32,560 --> 01:02:35,800
Speaker 1: For Beckham, who's scored and or top one hundred yards

1306
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:37,760
Speaker 1: and three straight. This has been an impressive run that

1307
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:40,920
Speaker 1: he's on. But he's constantly dinged up like Flowers, he

1308
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 1: runs on the outside, so he's got all the same

1309
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 1: advantages that I just talked about with Zay Flowers, who,

1310
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:46,640
Speaker 1: by the way, if I didn't mention it comes out

1311
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:49,280
Speaker 1: with a B grade. I've got a C grade on Beckham.

1312
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:50,920
Speaker 1: It would have been a bee if he were fully healthy,

1313
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,160
Speaker 1: but only the sea because he's not. Let's go to

1314
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:57,160
Speaker 1: the running backs. Gus Edwards totally touchdown dependent, but those

1315
01:02:57,160 --> 01:03:00,920
Speaker 1: scores have certainly been coming. Nine touchdowns in his last

1316
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:06,040
Speaker 1: five halfs, all coming within the ten yard line. I

1317
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 1: can only give him a C grade here because.

1318
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:10,960
Speaker 5: The day in his last five halfs he has scored

1319
01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 5: nine times.

1320
01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 4: It's a great one. Why wouldn't I do that? What's

1321
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:18,320
Speaker 4: wrong with me? Right right there?

1322
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:20,720
Speaker 1: I can only give him a C grade because the

1323
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:24,280
Speaker 1: usage and yardage is shrinking. Keaton Mitchell's emergence is real.

1324
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 1: He only had a thirty eight percent snap count snap

1325
01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:29,840
Speaker 1: right last week for Gus Edwards, C grade for him,

1326
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 1: and then the aforementioned Keaton Mitchell also a C grade,

1327
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:36,680
Speaker 1: coming up a career high third twenty four snaps last

1328
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 1: week still only got him to eight harries.

1329
01:03:40,200 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 4: So but we got a figure he's trending in.

1330
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:44,720
Speaker 1: The right general direction here startable with the hopes for

1331
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 1: a sizzling highlight play Chargers allowing the eleventh most yards

1332
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:50,960
Speaker 1: per game to opposing running backs, to the opportunities there,

1333
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go see grade on Keaton Mitchell.

1334
01:03:52,720 --> 01:03:54,320
Speaker 4: Wow, he brings in a long one.

1335
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:56,959
Speaker 6: How big of a season would JK. Dobbins be having

1336
01:03:57,040 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 6: right now if he had stayed hell the planet right?

1337
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 5: Brutal we called that though? Which part of it we

1338
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:10,320
Speaker 5: called JK Dobbins? Like this other multiversal world Jack Dobbins.

1339
01:04:10,360 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 5: That's a great one.

1340
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Chargers side of this game, beginning

1341
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:17,400
Speaker 1: with Austin Eckler, a rare B grade in a tough

1342
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 1: matchup for him, and you got a factor in some

1343
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:22,800
Speaker 1: recent dud games for Eckler too, Coming off a season

1344
01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 1: low twelve touches. Eckler surprisingly has the eighth worst running

1345
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 1: grade by Pro Football Focus, and the Chargers offensive line

1346
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:35,280
Speaker 1: is the second worst run block grade Ravensari middle of

1347
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:38,160
Speaker 1: the pack run defense by most metrics, but they do

1348
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:39,920
Speaker 1: give up four and a half yards per carry that's

1349
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:42,160
Speaker 1: ninth most. So you've got an angle here on Eckler

1350
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:44,600
Speaker 1: he's still obviously you're gonna start him, but I just

1351
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:47,240
Speaker 1: don't have the usual optimism I normally have on Eckler

1352
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:50,520
Speaker 1: in this game. All Right, let's go to the let's

1353
01:04:50,560 --> 01:04:52,200
Speaker 1: go to the passing game, and I want to start

1354
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:59,120
Speaker 1: with Justin air Bear. Baltimore's allowed the fewest passing touchdowns

1355
01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:03,320
Speaker 1: point eight per game. Only one quarterback has topped one

1356
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 1: touchdown against Baltimore all season long. Your tiny window of

1357
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 1: optimism is that the Ravens haven't played any top tier

1358
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:11,919
Speaker 1: quarterbacks aside from Joe Burrow, who has hurt in both

1359
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:14,960
Speaker 1: of the Ravens games. And then the Keenan Allen matchups

1360
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 1: tricky too, and normally that's your go to guy.

1361
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:19,320
Speaker 4: I just I don't love it all here. I can

1362
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:19,920
Speaker 4: only give you a C.

1363
01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:24,720
Speaker 1: Grade on Justin air Bear Herbert Keenan Allen B grade

1364
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:28,280
Speaker 1: in the last two weeks. He leads the league in targets, receptions, yards,

1365
01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:30,040
Speaker 1: and touchdowns. So you'd think it'd be an automatic A

1366
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 1: for Keenan Allen. You gotta start him, but tough matchup.

1367
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:36,040
Speaker 1: Allen lines up in the slot sixty percent of the time.

1368
01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:38,240
Speaker 1: That means he's gonna have his hands full with Kyle

1369
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:42,080
Speaker 1: Hamilton and Arthur Mallett. Hamilton gives up just a fifty

1370
01:05:42,200 --> 01:05:45,120
Speaker 1: seven passer rating and Mallett hasn't allowed a touchdown all year,

1371
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 1: So I mean, there's just it's a tough spot. Since

1372
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:51,720
Speaker 1: Week two, Baltimore has only allowed four touchdowns to wide

1373
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:55,240
Speaker 1: receivers and that brings us to the tight end position.

1374
01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:59,560
Speaker 1: Donald parrm If Gerald Everett is out and it looks

1375
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:02,280
Speaker 1: like he's going to be out for this game, I

1376
01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:05,000
Speaker 1: think Parm's startable with everet out. Last week, Parm ran

1377
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:08,120
Speaker 1: thirty routes. In games where Parm has run twenty three

1378
01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:11,600
Speaker 1: or more routes, he averages five targets, four catches, fifty yards,

1379
01:06:11,640 --> 01:06:12,400
Speaker 1: and half a touchdown.

1380
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:14,920
Speaker 4: We'll take that. That's a win for a tight end.

1381
01:06:15,200 --> 01:06:17,760
Speaker 1: Over the last five weeks, Baltimore's allowed the fifth most

1382
01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 1: tight end reception. So yeah, let's let's give Parm a

1383
01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:23,200
Speaker 1: shot with us C grade.

1384
01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:25,000
Speaker 4: And then what about Quinton Johnson.

1385
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:30,040
Speaker 5: You wait, you're totally you're totally skipping over stone Cole Smart.

1386
01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 4: I know, I was like, who is this guy? Apparently

1387
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:34,520
Speaker 4: he's got a pedigree.

1388
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:38,040
Speaker 1: As a OWT, as a quarterback, a running back, a receiver,

1389
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:40,360
Speaker 1: a tight end something like that in his history.

1390
01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 5: He's apparently he's a great ass six.

1391
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:46,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, Palm's even bigger than that. Let me get

1392
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:51,080
Speaker 4: he played basketball. That's no point in list. Probably Quinton Johnson.

1393
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:54,520
Speaker 1: It's we're only half a season into his rookie year,

1394
01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:58,160
Speaker 1: so we're not I'm not calling anybody a bust.

1395
01:06:58,560 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 4: But he might be a bust.

1396
01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:04,320
Speaker 1: Maybe had a game changing drop last week. This is

1397
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:06,160
Speaker 1: like the prem you know, he said, so many great

1398
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:12,600
Speaker 1: opportunities for Quinton Johnson to be, to Pat Johnston to

1399
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:14,480
Speaker 1: make it, to be a big part of this offense

1400
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:17,880
Speaker 1: hasn't happened yet, and it's not probably yet.

1401
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:18,440
Speaker 4: But that's all.

1402
01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 5: That's the problem When sometimes I see people being like, oh,

1403
01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:23,480
Speaker 5: Julio Jones only did this in his first you know,

1404
01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:26,400
Speaker 5: nine to ten games. There are players who only did

1405
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:28,640
Speaker 5: so much in their first nine or ten games. I'm like,

1406
01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:31,000
Speaker 5: but Johnson's had the opportunities and hit him in the

1407
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:32,560
Speaker 5: chest and dropped right. You know.

1408
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:35,920
Speaker 1: That's the worry Rams taking on the cards. Brian on

1409
01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:39,200
Speaker 1: the Rams side, you already told us about Matthew Stafford,

1410
01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:40,440
Speaker 1: who you liked.

1411
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:42,960
Speaker 4: In this matchup. Cooper Cup's gonna play.

1412
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:45,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, Cooper, Cup is gonna play. I had an A

1413
01:07:45,600 --> 01:07:48,160
Speaker 6: on Pooka Nakua assuming Cup was gonna sit. I thought

1414
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:49,920
Speaker 6: they might rest them in this game, but again they're not,

1415
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 6: so I got a B on both Cup and Nikua,

1416
01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:55,000
Speaker 6: and I mentioned this earlier. The Rams and Cardinals did

1417
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:58,160
Speaker 6: meet in week six for the first meeting of the seasons.

1418
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:00,800
Speaker 6: We'll reference that Pukah only had four for twenty six

1419
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:03,440
Speaker 6: scoreless yards in the first meeting. Cuple went off for

1420
01:08:03,560 --> 01:08:05,640
Speaker 6: seven catches one hundred and forty eight yards in a touchdown,

1421
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 6: but that could easily be flip flop. You're not gonna

1422
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:10,480
Speaker 6: sit either one when they're healthy, So just a be

1423
01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:13,040
Speaker 6: though for Cup and Nakua to two. At Well was

1424
01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:14,480
Speaker 6: going to be might take a chance with me wide

1425
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:16,880
Speaker 6: receiver of Cup sat. The Cup is playing, so at

1426
01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:19,040
Speaker 6: Well is on the bench, and Tyler Higbee was going

1427
01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:22,080
Speaker 6: to get a C if Cup sat because Higbee is

1428
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:24,040
Speaker 6: averaged six and a half targets and fifty yards per

1429
01:08:24,080 --> 01:08:26,559
Speaker 6: game with Cup on the sideline. But again, Cup playing,

1430
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 6: so he could be on the bench. But guess who's

1431
01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:31,960
Speaker 6: not on the bench and who is back? Kyron Williams,

1432
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:33,920
Speaker 6: Kyron Williams, my boy.

1433
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:35,720
Speaker 4: I wanted to give him an a.

1434
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:37,160
Speaker 6: I thought he was going to walk into a full

1435
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:41,120
Speaker 6: time the full time you know workload. Sean McVay is

1436
01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:43,040
Speaker 6: kind of hinted they'll ease him back in. I don't

1437
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:46,080
Speaker 6: totally buy it. I still think he leads the Rams

1438
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:48,360
Speaker 6: backfield in touches. He had one hundred and fifty eight

1439
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:50,760
Speaker 6: rushing yards and a score in the first meeting. He

1440
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:52,680
Speaker 6: didn't need to catch a pass because the Rams kind

1441
01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:55,960
Speaker 6: of rolled the Cardinals in this one. Arizona has surrendered

1442
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:58,080
Speaker 6: the third most PPR points. He running back, so a

1443
01:08:58,120 --> 01:09:01,840
Speaker 6: safe be for Kyron Williams in his return and Royce

1444
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:04,160
Speaker 6: Freeman back to the bench. He did beat out Darryl Henderson, though,

1445
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:06,800
Speaker 6: which I didn't see it coming. I mean, if you're

1446
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:10,080
Speaker 6: in a super deep league, Royce Freeman might be playable

1447
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:11,840
Speaker 6: in a pinch, but for the most part he is

1448
01:09:11,880 --> 01:09:15,799
Speaker 6: on the bench. Over the Arizona side. James Connor forever

1449
01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:19,000
Speaker 6: gets to see. Basically did not play in the first meeting,

1450
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:21,840
Speaker 6: so no recent history there, but he has touched the

1451
01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:24,360
Speaker 6: ball at least sixteen times in the two games since

1452
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:27,160
Speaker 6: returning from ir but not the best matchup for Connor.

1453
01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:29,759
Speaker 6: The Rams are allowing just one hundred and nine combo

1454
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:33,360
Speaker 6: yards per game, so again per usual, just a volume

1455
01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:36,719
Speaker 6: C for James Connor and over to the passing game.

1456
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:40,920
Speaker 6: It's a little messy here. Michael Wilson ruled out again

1457
01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:43,599
Speaker 6: he will not play. So we got Marquise Brown, Rondell Moore,

1458
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:46,040
Speaker 6: and Greg Dortsch. I kind to give all of them

1459
01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:49,000
Speaker 6: a cee. Brown was targeted eleven times in the first

1460
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:51,800
Speaker 6: meeting but only caught four balls for thirty thirty four

1461
01:09:52,160 --> 01:09:53,040
Speaker 6: scoreless yards.

1462
01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:54,719
Speaker 4: But again, Josh Dobbs was the quarterback.

1463
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:57,720
Speaker 6: Then they have a quote unquote new quarterback now that

1464
01:09:57,800 --> 01:10:01,240
Speaker 6: is Kyler Murray, so Hollywood would still be Murray's preferred

1465
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:04,439
Speaker 6: option at wide receiver. Moore caught a long touchdown last

1466
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:07,200
Speaker 6: year on his only target, but Greg Dortch he led

1467
01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 6: the Cardinals in receiving. So I like Brown, then Dorsch,

1468
01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:15,000
Speaker 6: then more with C grades in that order, and lastly,

1469
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:16,320
Speaker 6: Kyler Murray.

1470
01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:17,920
Speaker 4: Was your take a chance on me quarterback chart.

1471
01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:21,880
Speaker 6: I'm sorry not lastly Trey McBride last week didn't come

1472
01:10:21,920 --> 01:10:24,759
Speaker 6: through with that A grade last year, but still commands

1473
01:10:24,760 --> 01:10:27,320
Speaker 6: a ton of targets when Murray's the quarterback. He had

1474
01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:29,599
Speaker 6: four catches for sixty two yards in the first game,

1475
01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:33,639
Speaker 6: Trey McBride, and that was with Zach Ertz playing. Yeah,

1476
01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:36,400
Speaker 6: ERT's not playing in this game. The Rams allowing nearly

1477
01:10:36,439 --> 01:10:38,760
Speaker 6: five catches and sixty yards per game to tight ends,

1478
01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:40,679
Speaker 6: So a safe b for Trey McBride.

1479
01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:44,080
Speaker 1: All right, when we come back, a segment we like

1480
01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:47,320
Speaker 1: to call premature speculation. We'll give you guys you can

1481
01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:51,840
Speaker 1: pick up this week that would normally not be available

1482
01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:52,920
Speaker 1: or people try to pick up.

1483
01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:55,720
Speaker 4: You know how this works. Premature speculation coming up next.

1484
01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 4: Stay tuned.

1485
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:28,919
Speaker 1: Final segment Fantasy Football Weekly for this week, number twelve

1486
01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:39,000
Speaker 1: and the playoffs rooms here unbelievable close. I think it's

1487
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:42,040
Speaker 1: the Galaga defender something like that.

1488
01:11:42,040 --> 01:11:42,799
Speaker 4: I'm not positive.

1489
01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:46,559
Speaker 1: Uh, this is a segment we call premature speculation. Players

1490
01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:48,160
Speaker 1: you want to pick up now that other people will

1491
01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:49,400
Speaker 1: be trying to pick up next.

1492
01:11:49,240 --> 01:11:50,240
Speaker 4: Week, Scott, who you got?

1493
01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:53,160
Speaker 5: I'm gonna go with a T. Perry with Michael Thomas

1494
01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:55,920
Speaker 5: sideline for a bit here at Perry is the next

1495
01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:58,960
Speaker 5: man up? Six five, two, ten, four, four seven, forty.

1496
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:00,800
Speaker 5: I know, I know. Which is the type of guy

1497
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:04,759
Speaker 5: that loves those metrics? Yes, Alave and Shaheed are out there.

1498
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:08,400
Speaker 5: But Perry got four four targets and a score after

1499
01:12:08,439 --> 01:12:11,759
Speaker 5: Thomas went down. Not just that, he led the team

1500
01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:15,880
Speaker 5: in snaps after Thomas went down, so he was out there.

1501
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:18,880
Speaker 5: There's there's a non zero chance he becomes something.

1502
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:22,639
Speaker 1: Right, right, Okay, at Perry kind of interested in that angle, Brian,

1503
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:24,760
Speaker 1: who's your premature speculation player.

1504
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:27,360
Speaker 6: Not super exciting, but you might just have yourself a

1505
01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:30,760
Speaker 6: starting running back down the stretch, and that is Cincinnati's

1506
01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:33,600
Speaker 6: Travion Williams. And it's this simple. The Bengals are in

1507
01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:36,160
Speaker 6: last place in their division right now. They're done. They're

1508
01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:38,479
Speaker 6: not making the playoffs, they're not What is the point

1509
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:41,519
Speaker 6: of continually running Joe Mixon into the ground, who's really

1510
01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:44,639
Speaker 6: done nothing anyway? Why not at some point and Trayvon

1511
01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:46,960
Speaker 6: Williams is the only running back who's been getting touches,

1512
01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:49,800
Speaker 6: granted it's a change of pace other than Mixon. So

1513
01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:52,720
Speaker 6: Travon Williams, they might just run him out there and

1514
01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 6: he'll get fifteen to twenty touches the game. And not

1515
01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:57,080
Speaker 6: that you're gonna he's an auto start, but he's a

1516
01:12:57,160 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 6: nice player to have on your bench at the very

1517
01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:01,120
Speaker 6: least Travion Williams.

1518
01:13:01,160 --> 01:13:04,080
Speaker 1: All right, my premature speculation is also a backup running

1519
01:13:04,120 --> 01:13:07,960
Speaker 1: back Kenneth Gainwell from Philadelphia. Now, do you guys remember

1520
01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:09,840
Speaker 1: back in August when we all he was gonna be

1521
01:13:09,880 --> 01:13:12,080
Speaker 1: the starter. Well, we didn't know for sure, right, you know,

1522
01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:15,559
Speaker 1: but we were like, there's too many guys, and most

1523
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:19,439
Speaker 1: of us passed on DeAndre Swift many many times in

1524
01:13:19,479 --> 01:13:21,080
Speaker 1: the draft, right, so he went off the board in

1525
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:24,960
Speaker 1: like round six of most fantasy drafts. I'm estimating much

1526
01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:28,920
Speaker 1: of our hesitation was because of Swift's history of injury,

1527
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:32,599
Speaker 1: which is very real, spanning all three of US Detroit seasons.

1528
01:13:32,600 --> 01:13:36,120
Speaker 1: He missed significant time in all those seasons despite never

1529
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:40,360
Speaker 1: even being a work horse. Fast forward to today, Swift's

1530
01:13:40,400 --> 01:13:44,320
Speaker 1: logging twenty touches per game since Week two, a pace

1531
01:13:44,360 --> 01:13:47,479
Speaker 1: that puts him behind only Josh Jacobs, Christian McCaffrey, and

1532
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:53,160
Speaker 1: Travis Etn. That's it, then, DeAndre Swift. Now it's hard

1533
01:13:53,160 --> 01:13:55,680
Speaker 1: to guess right on when a player's going to be injured, right,

1534
01:13:55,800 --> 01:13:57,200
Speaker 1: but we can look at a player who had a

1535
01:13:57,200 --> 01:13:59,840
Speaker 1: three year track record of injury and go, okay, now,

1536
01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:02,400
Speaker 1: touching the ball twenty times a game.

1537
01:14:02,439 --> 01:14:06,320
Speaker 5: Or or a Philly team that might realize, oh, we're

1538
01:14:06,320 --> 01:14:07,960
Speaker 5: in it to win the super Bowl and not these

1539
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:09,040
Speaker 5: last games of the season.

1540
01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:10,000
Speaker 4: That was my other point.

1541
01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:12,320
Speaker 5: Okay, I'm glad I jumped in this, Stealers.

1542
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:12,960
Speaker 4: I'm fine.

1543
01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:14,559
Speaker 1: Then the Eagles are nine and one, so at some

1544
01:14:14,600 --> 01:14:17,240
Speaker 1: point they might start playoff planning and want to keep

1545
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:21,519
Speaker 1: Swift healthy. So there's two different scenarios where Kenneth game

1546
01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:25,840
Speaker 1: well can end up being a meaningful participant in the

1547
01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:26,800
Speaker 1: for your team.

1548
01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:30,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, fantasy managers who are relying on Eagles, you we

1549
01:14:30,840 --> 01:14:34,400
Speaker 6: want them to lose at least one game because they

1550
01:14:34,479 --> 01:14:34,880
Speaker 6: went out.

1551
01:14:35,479 --> 01:14:36,160
Speaker 4: They're sitting there.

1552
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:38,639
Speaker 1: I think Dallas is so close though, right, and Dallas

1553
01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:39,880
Speaker 1: playing great ball right now.

1554
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:42,320
Speaker 6: Eight and three, but they still need the Eagles to

1555
01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:45,240
Speaker 6: lose a game, which they could this week.

1556
01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:48,120
Speaker 4: What a great segue. Oh kick it the church just

1557
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:48,559
Speaker 4: really good.

1558
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:51,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it's Bills versus Eagles. Scott, Let's let's go

1559
01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:55,360
Speaker 1: to you for this game. Yeah, let's start. I want

1560
01:14:55,360 --> 01:14:58,280
Speaker 1: to start Bill's side of this. Okay, shout all. A

1561
01:14:58,280 --> 01:15:01,240
Speaker 1: lot of inconsistent performances. From a fantasy standpoint, it's all

1562
01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:01,559
Speaker 1: been good.

1563
01:15:01,640 --> 01:15:04,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, it doesn't matter from a fantasy standpoint. In fact,

1564
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:07,439
Speaker 5: he's got multiple scores in ten straight. In fact, he's

1565
01:15:07,439 --> 01:15:10,439
Speaker 5: got multiple scores in thirteen of the last fourteen games

1566
01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:12,320
Speaker 5: dating back to last year, so he's I was getting

1567
01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:15,080
Speaker 5: those for you. Yes, the Eagles have allowed multiple scores

1568
01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:17,599
Speaker 5: to passers in three straight and they allowed the third

1569
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:20,160
Speaker 5: most touchdowns six months passing yards. It's an A grade

1570
01:15:20,160 --> 01:15:22,080
Speaker 5: for Josh Allen. I really didn't need to go for

1571
01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:25,080
Speaker 5: all of that. Stefan Diggs is going to get an

1572
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:29,400
Speaker 5: A grade. He's he's Although Kincaid has been outproducing digs

1573
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:33,120
Speaker 5: since Knox went down, he still digs. And this Eagles

1574
01:15:33,120 --> 01:15:36,360
Speaker 5: defense is allowing the most receptions, fifth most yards, second

1575
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:38,920
Speaker 5: most touchdown to wide receiver, which is a little surprising

1576
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:41,240
Speaker 5: because they got Bradbury and Sleigh on the outsides there,

1577
01:15:41,240 --> 01:15:44,479
Speaker 5: but they're allowing The part of it is game scripts

1578
01:15:44,560 --> 01:15:47,240
Speaker 5: are forcing teams to pass to catch up to the

1579
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:49,479
Speaker 5: Eagles when they get ahead, So that's a lot. That's

1580
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:50,800
Speaker 5: a big part of that. But I do have an

1581
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:53,400
Speaker 5: A grade on Diggs. I have Gabe Davis on the

1582
01:15:53,400 --> 01:15:57,559
Speaker 5: bench despite I believe Joe Brady's the OC there now

1583
01:15:58,120 --> 01:16:01,439
Speaker 5: for the Bills. Yes, yes, something like Gabe Davis, who

1584
01:16:01,479 --> 01:16:03,760
Speaker 5: didn't have a catch, had the best game of the

1585
01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:06,400
Speaker 5: wide receivers last week three. The block eat he did

1586
01:16:06,439 --> 01:16:08,679
Speaker 5: and the rud Gabriel that's sweet.

1587
01:16:08,720 --> 01:16:09,680
Speaker 4: That does not help us.

1588
01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:12,519
Speaker 5: I know bench grade on Gabe Davis, two goose eggs

1589
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:14,519
Speaker 5: in the last three weeks. I just can't trust that.

1590
01:16:14,920 --> 01:16:18,120
Speaker 5: Khalil Shakira, I actually have a C grade on Eagles

1591
01:16:18,479 --> 01:16:24,080
Speaker 5: fourth worst against the slot. He's outproduced Gabriel Davis since

1592
01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:27,839
Speaker 5: Knox went out and they started playing more eleven personnel.

1593
01:16:27,880 --> 01:16:31,000
Speaker 5: Putting Shakir in the slot, he also gets to avoid

1594
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:34,639
Speaker 5: Bradbury and Slay and stay inside, and of course they're

1595
01:16:34,640 --> 01:16:38,360
Speaker 5: bad against the slot. So a gray Dalton Kincaid third

1596
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:43,599
Speaker 5: among tight ends in separation Dawson Knox went down. Kincaid

1597
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:46,040
Speaker 5: out produced digs. Since I mentioned all of that, but

1598
01:16:46,160 --> 01:16:49,840
Speaker 5: three straight tight ends have scored on the Eagles, Travis Kelce,

1599
01:16:50,320 --> 01:16:53,839
Speaker 5: Jake Ferguson, Logan Thomas. They've allowed six tight end touchdowns

1600
01:16:53,880 --> 01:16:57,400
Speaker 5: in the last ten games, and in those last three games,

1601
01:16:57,479 --> 01:17:00,640
Speaker 5: each lead tight end top sixteen pprs. I got an

1602
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:03,920
Speaker 5: A grade there, James Cook, This is where it gets

1603
01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:05,759
Speaker 5: a little tougher. I have a C grade on James

1604
01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:09,880
Speaker 5: Cook's He's his rushing yards over expectation is one of

1605
01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:12,040
Speaker 5: the tops in the league. But the Eagles allow the

1606
01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:15,880
Speaker 5: fewest combo yards touchdowns and fewest touchdown touches to backs

1607
01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:19,519
Speaker 5: because teams try to pass on them. Cook does have

1608
01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:21,679
Speaker 5: one hundred plus total yards in back to back games.

1609
01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:24,000
Speaker 5: He's finally seen a little bit more goal line work.

1610
01:17:24,000 --> 01:17:27,240
Speaker 5: We saw the five yard touchdown reception last week. But

1611
01:17:27,320 --> 01:17:30,960
Speaker 5: what does worry me? It's a tough matchup and Ty

1612
01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:34,800
Speaker 5: Johnson started playing ahead of Latavius Murray last week and

1613
01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:37,799
Speaker 5: taking like he caught four balls. If he starts taking

1614
01:17:37,840 --> 01:17:41,719
Speaker 5: the those and Latavius and Cook even split the goal

1615
01:17:41,760 --> 01:17:44,960
Speaker 5: line work, that's rough spot for James Cook. I'm only

1616
01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:47,519
Speaker 5: giving him the sea hoping he gets twelve to fifteen touches,

1617
01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:49,840
Speaker 5: maybe a couple of catches. Yeah, it's gonna be a

1618
01:17:49,880 --> 01:17:52,040
Speaker 5: pretty much a volume ce for James Cook in this one.

1619
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:54,240
Speaker 5: It'd be much different if time Montcomery didn't jump in

1620
01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:58,080
Speaker 5: for catches. Yeah. Over on the Philly side, I have

1621
01:17:58,120 --> 01:18:01,719
Speaker 5: a grades on Jalen Hurts and aj Brown. I don't

1622
01:18:01,760 --> 01:18:03,280
Speaker 5: really know how much I have to talk about it,

1623
01:18:03,320 --> 01:18:06,759
Speaker 5: but in the last nine games, Jalen Hurts has multiple

1624
01:18:06,760 --> 01:18:11,719
Speaker 5: scores nine times. He just keeps doing it. Aj Brown

1625
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:15,920
Speaker 5: he does not get Lugaria Sneid this week, so he

1626
01:18:16,120 --> 01:18:18,760
Speaker 5: should go back closer to the one hundred plus and

1627
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:21,800
Speaker 5: a touchdown streak of five games he had before that.

1628
01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:25,400
Speaker 5: DeVonta Smith, I'm only giving with a C grade here.

1629
01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:28,800
Speaker 5: He's gonna get Rozuel Douglas, who's been really stingy since

1630
01:18:28,800 --> 01:18:31,080
Speaker 5: he came to Buffalo. Since he came to Buffalo, he's

1631
01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:35,519
Speaker 5: allowing a thirteen eight point eight passer rating against. That's

1632
01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:39,360
Speaker 5: really good since he's been since he switched teams. Three

1633
01:18:39,400 --> 01:18:42,439
Speaker 5: straight A level days for DeVonta Smith, but I don't

1634
01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:45,280
Speaker 5: love the matchup middle pack there. I'm giving him a

1635
01:18:45,280 --> 01:18:50,000
Speaker 5: ceat DeAndre Swift B grade. Bill's allowing the third most targets,

1636
01:18:50,040 --> 01:18:54,320
Speaker 5: fifth most receptions, third most receiving yards, six most yards

1637
01:18:54,360 --> 01:18:56,400
Speaker 5: per reception to running backs. They don't do well against

1638
01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:59,320
Speaker 5: pass catching running backs, and that is something DeAndre Swift

1639
01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:01,439
Speaker 5: can do pretty well well. Over the last two weeks.

1640
01:19:01,520 --> 01:19:04,639
Speaker 5: DeVonta Williams had his best pass catching day against them

1641
01:19:05,040 --> 01:19:07,599
Speaker 5: last week. Breeze Hall had a great past catching day

1642
01:19:07,600 --> 01:19:12,000
Speaker 5: against them. Swift himself has handled over seventy five percent

1643
01:19:12,040 --> 01:19:14,479
Speaker 5: of the touches in the last three games. Over the

1644
01:19:14,560 --> 01:19:17,320
Speaker 5: last three games, each game we just kind of talked

1645
01:19:17,360 --> 01:19:19,720
Speaker 5: about that he's getting all that work. Maybe it tones down,

1646
01:19:19,720 --> 01:19:21,720
Speaker 5: but I don't think it tones down just yet. So

1647
01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:24,280
Speaker 5: B grade and DeAndre Swift makes sense.

1648
01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:28,160
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Monday nighter Bears Vikings. These teams

1649
01:19:28,240 --> 01:19:30,800
Speaker 1: were so bad against the run last year. Bears ranked

1650
01:19:30,840 --> 01:19:33,639
Speaker 1: thirty first, Vikings ranked twenty six against the run.

1651
01:19:33,800 --> 01:19:34,160
Speaker 4: Get this.

1652
01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:37,880
Speaker 1: Over the last five weeks, which is a pretty big

1653
01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:41,200
Speaker 1: sample size in the NFL, the Vikings and Bears ranked

1654
01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:43,400
Speaker 1: number one and number two in run defense.

1655
01:19:43,880 --> 01:19:46,559
Speaker 4: That's an amazing turnaround. Amazing, it really is.

1656
01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:49,479
Speaker 1: I let to start the Chicago side. Let's go since

1657
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:51,160
Speaker 1: we're talking about the running game. They're all on the

1658
01:19:51,160 --> 01:19:55,360
Speaker 1: bench unless and you may not know. You may not

1659
01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:57,240
Speaker 1: know Sunday when you need to set your lineup. If

1660
01:19:57,280 --> 01:20:00,400
Speaker 1: Don de Foreman's ruled out, then Khalil Herbert moves up

1661
01:20:00,439 --> 01:20:02,960
Speaker 1: to a C grade. But if he goes, then we've

1662
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:05,960
Speaker 1: got just it's just split back do then we can't

1663
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:08,479
Speaker 1: do it. Herbert got the majority of the work last

1664
01:20:08,479 --> 01:20:10,719
Speaker 1: week in part because Foreman got knocked out of the game.

1665
01:20:10,840 --> 01:20:12,559
Speaker 1: But then he did nothing. He only had two yards

1666
01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:16,120
Speaker 1: per carry over the last five games. Minnesota allowing just

1667
01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:20,360
Speaker 1: fifty three rushing yards per game, and non DeAndre Swift

1668
01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:24,040
Speaker 1: runners are averaging three point one yards per carry against Minnesota.

1669
01:20:24,439 --> 01:20:26,160
Speaker 1: It's a virtually nothing.

1670
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:28,759
Speaker 5: That is. And that DeAndre Swift game was way beginning

1671
01:20:28,760 --> 01:20:29,160
Speaker 5: of the season.

1672
01:20:29,240 --> 01:20:31,120
Speaker 1: It was that was week two. Let's go to the

1673
01:20:31,120 --> 01:20:35,840
Speaker 1: passing game justin Fields B grade. It's, oh, this guy

1674
01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:39,839
Speaker 1: right here in his first game off that month layoff,

1675
01:20:39,840 --> 01:20:42,200
Speaker 1: he got dialed up for fourteen runs, one hundred and

1676
01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:43,080
Speaker 1: four rushing yards.

1677
01:20:43,080 --> 01:20:43,640
Speaker 4: We love that.

1678
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:46,599
Speaker 1: If that rushing even close to that's going to keep happening.

1679
01:20:46,800 --> 01:20:48,760
Speaker 1: I don't even care if he passes. Doesn't he just

1680
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:50,719
Speaker 1: go back there and run the whole time. He faced

1681
01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:54,640
Speaker 1: Minnesota for about one half of week six, and he

1682
01:20:54,640 --> 01:20:55,360
Speaker 1: had already rolled.

1683
01:20:55,240 --> 01:20:56,640
Speaker 4: Up forty eight rushing yards.

1684
01:20:56,720 --> 01:20:59,080
Speaker 1: So you extrapolate that and that would be ninety six

1685
01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:01,880
Speaker 1: on a full game. We'll Vikings are ant above average

1686
01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:05,000
Speaker 1: pass defense, allowing exactly one touchdown pass per game over

1687
01:21:05,040 --> 01:21:08,160
Speaker 1: the last six weeks. Down's about right for justin Fields.

1688
01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:10,280
Speaker 1: One touchdown pass and a bunch of rushing yardage B

1689
01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:16,599
Speaker 1: grade for justin fields, leaning towards A grade Dj Moore again,

1690
01:21:16,720 --> 01:21:19,880
Speaker 1: Vikings maybe without their starting cornerback at Caleb Evans, but

1691
01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:22,080
Speaker 1: don't know. It's a Monday nighter. You'll want to, you know,

1692
01:21:22,200 --> 01:21:23,880
Speaker 1: try to watch that if you can. But I think

1693
01:21:24,400 --> 01:21:26,640
Speaker 1: either way you're gonna start DJ Moore because he's so

1694
01:21:26,800 --> 01:21:29,760
Speaker 1: much more fantasy viable with justin fields than he was

1695
01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:34,720
Speaker 1: with Tyson Bagen. Minnesota leans zone heavy, and DJ Moore

1696
01:21:34,840 --> 01:21:38,040
Speaker 1: leads all Bears wide outs in targets and receptions against

1697
01:21:38,200 --> 01:21:40,799
Speaker 1: zone coverage, and he's tenth over all in the league

1698
01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:44,400
Speaker 1: against the zone. If if Evans misses, I could I

1699
01:21:44,400 --> 01:21:46,120
Speaker 1: could see moving up to an A grade because that

1700
01:21:46,160 --> 01:21:48,839
Speaker 1: puts Mackay Blackman on the field, and in that situation

1701
01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:52,479
Speaker 1: last week, Blackman allowed receptions on all six of his targets.

1702
01:21:52,680 --> 01:21:54,320
Speaker 1: I'd move him up to an A grade. You may

1703
01:21:54,320 --> 01:21:57,040
Speaker 1: not know in time before about whether or not Evans

1704
01:21:57,040 --> 01:21:57,680
Speaker 1: is enter out though.

1705
01:21:57,680 --> 01:21:59,240
Speaker 4: On Sunday, all.

1706
01:21:59,200 --> 01:22:01,320
Speaker 1: Right, let's talk talk about Cole Comett, the only other

1707
01:22:01,439 --> 01:22:03,679
Speaker 1: player for the Bears who probably care about much better.

1708
01:22:03,680 --> 01:22:06,600
Speaker 1: In the Tyson bagent games, almost exactly half of the

1709
01:22:06,640 --> 01:22:09,639
Speaker 1: stats in field starts. So that's the bad news, averaging

1710
01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:11,960
Speaker 1: just four catches thirty seven yards in the field starts.

1711
01:22:12,240 --> 01:22:15,360
Speaker 1: But good tight ends have fared well against Minnesota. But

1712
01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:17,840
Speaker 1: do you guys think is Cole Commet a good tight end?

1713
01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:23,519
Speaker 5: I mean edge of top twelve, he's probably twelve to

1714
01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:25,360
Speaker 5: fourteen range, ten to fourteen range.

1715
01:22:25,400 --> 01:22:28,599
Speaker 1: He has this fun yeah, like top six tight ends

1716
01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:31,639
Speaker 1: have done well against Minnesota and the rest really haven't.

1717
01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:33,920
Speaker 4: I've got a C grade on Cole Comet. Let's go

1718
01:22:33,920 --> 01:22:35,000
Speaker 4: to the Viking side. TJ.

1719
01:22:35,080 --> 01:22:38,479
Speaker 1: Hockinson a little less used last week, likely because he

1720
01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:40,960
Speaker 1: continues to play through a serious rib injury, and I

1721
01:22:41,479 --> 01:22:43,240
Speaker 1: worry a bit that it'll be less used this week

1722
01:22:43,240 --> 01:22:44,360
Speaker 1: too with the bye week coming.

1723
01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:45,679
Speaker 4: Maybe they just rest him up here.

1724
01:22:46,120 --> 01:22:50,240
Speaker 1: Countering that concern, Josh Dobbs averaging eleven targets to his

1725
01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:53,160
Speaker 1: tight end per game since coming to Minnesota, most of

1726
01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:55,840
Speaker 1: that going to Hockinson. Bears defense has seen the ninth

1727
01:22:55,920 --> 01:22:58,559
Speaker 1: most targets the tight ends, six most receptions the tight

1728
01:22:58,640 --> 01:23:00,679
Speaker 1: ends in a total of five touchdown the position.

1729
01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:03,000
Speaker 4: So a grade TJ.

1730
01:23:03,160 --> 01:23:03,639
Speaker 5: Hockinson.

1731
01:23:04,360 --> 01:23:08,040
Speaker 1: I feel pretty confident about him. Feel pretty confident justin

1732
01:23:08,120 --> 01:23:09,880
Speaker 1: Jefferson's not going to play in this game. They're going

1733
01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:11,519
Speaker 1: to have him get right for through the bye week

1734
01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:14,960
Speaker 1: next week. Jordan Addison has the top five receptions or

1735
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:18,639
Speaker 1: scored in the Josh Dobbs era. Over the last five weeks,

1736
01:23:18,680 --> 01:23:22,280
Speaker 1: Chicago's allowed the fourth fewest yards to opposing wide receivers,

1737
01:23:22,320 --> 01:23:26,240
Speaker 1: and that's thanks mostly to emerging star cornerback Jalen Johnson,

1738
01:23:26,240 --> 01:23:29,200
Speaker 1: who basically just shuts down half the field. Over the

1739
01:23:29,280 --> 01:23:33,280
Speaker 1: last five weeks, He's allowing two receptions for thirteen yards

1740
01:23:33,280 --> 01:23:34,000
Speaker 1: in his coverage.

1741
01:23:34,080 --> 01:23:34,680
Speaker 4: That is it.

1742
01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:37,920
Speaker 1: So it is a tough matchup for Jordan Addison. I

1743
01:23:37,960 --> 01:23:39,880
Speaker 1: can only get you to a C grade on him,

1744
01:23:40,439 --> 01:23:43,120
Speaker 1: and that brings us to this.

1745
01:23:43,040 --> 01:23:46,000
Speaker 3: Guy, Toby.

1746
01:23:47,600 --> 01:23:48,400
Speaker 4: Josh Dobbs.

1747
01:23:48,640 --> 01:23:52,840
Speaker 1: The Broncos exposed some of Dobbs's passing weaknesses last week,

1748
01:23:52,880 --> 01:23:55,400
Speaker 1: and if you had to rely entirely on his arm

1749
01:23:55,640 --> 01:23:57,719
Speaker 1: I'd give Dobbs a C or a bench grade against

1750
01:23:57,720 --> 01:24:01,000
Speaker 1: an improving Chicago secondary. But fortunately he can run. The

1751
01:24:01,040 --> 01:24:03,360
Speaker 1: Bears held Kirk Cousins to just one hundred and eighty

1752
01:24:03,400 --> 01:24:06,280
Speaker 1: one yards and one touchdown in the earlier matchup, and

1753
01:24:06,400 --> 01:24:09,320
Speaker 1: Cousins is obviously a lot better passer than Josh Dobbs.

1754
01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:12,160
Speaker 1: But Dobbs has scored rushing touchdowns in five straight games,

1755
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:14,479
Speaker 1: and he's averaging forty four rushing yards and Vikings games,

1756
01:24:14,479 --> 01:24:16,680
Speaker 1: and the Bears haven't seen any mobile quarterbacks yet and

1757
01:24:16,720 --> 01:24:19,960
Speaker 1: haven't allowed a quarterback rushing touchdown this season. So Dobbs

1758
01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:22,799
Speaker 1: comes in with a B grade thanks mostly to the legs.

1759
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:26,040
Speaker 1: I think he gets like one passing touchdown if he

1760
01:24:26,120 --> 01:24:28,720
Speaker 1: runs for a touchdown and one passing touchdown. Yeah, we'll

1761
01:24:28,760 --> 01:24:31,320
Speaker 1: take that. What about the running game for the Vikings?

1762
01:24:31,439 --> 01:24:31,599
Speaker 3: Huh?

1763
01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:35,519
Speaker 1: What a frustrating experience this has been. You know, got

1764
01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:37,960
Speaker 1: plenty of things wrong this year. The one thing we

1765
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:44,880
Speaker 1: got right Alexander Madison. No rushing touchdowns and negative five

1766
01:24:45,040 --> 01:24:50,360
Speaker 1: yards on runs originating from inside the ten yard line. Well, frustrating.

1767
01:24:50,400 --> 01:24:52,240
Speaker 1: A lot of it's been bad blocking, but that's just

1768
01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:56,240
Speaker 1: the reality of it. Apparently he can fumble an unlimited

1769
01:24:56,320 --> 01:24:59,240
Speaker 1: number of times without losing his starter status to ty Chandler,

1770
01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:03,240
Speaker 1: and is rushed for the third worst yards over expectation

1771
01:25:03,479 --> 01:25:06,240
Speaker 1: at negative eighty yards.

1772
01:25:07,439 --> 01:25:07,920
Speaker 4: This year.

1773
01:25:08,080 --> 01:25:11,360
Speaker 6: So I saw you tweet that stat and then someone

1774
01:25:11,439 --> 01:25:14,719
Speaker 6: accused you of cherry picking those stats. By cherry picking

1775
01:25:15,200 --> 01:25:18,120
Speaker 6: highlights of bad blocking, but there were highlights that he

1776
01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:21,360
Speaker 6: omitted that were bad vision from Alexander Madison. So it's

1777
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:24,639
Speaker 6: a never ending, i know, cherry picking festival of whatever

1778
01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:25,960
Speaker 6: he's been bad, he's been awful.

1779
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:27,880
Speaker 1: And as I mentioned at the outset of this matchup,

1780
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:30,880
Speaker 1: over the past five games, Chicago ranks number one in

1781
01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:33,439
Speaker 1: rushing yards allowed, just fifty two per game. So the

1782
01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:36,360
Speaker 1: entire Minnesota running game is on the bench. I would

1783
01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:38,120
Speaker 1: love to see ty Chandler get a bunch of work,

1784
01:25:38,120 --> 01:25:40,160
Speaker 1: but apparently that's just not gonna happen in my lifetime,

1785
01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:44,160
Speaker 1: he says bitterly. We've got a couple of minutes before

1786
01:25:44,200 --> 01:25:46,400
Speaker 1: the end of the show. I was thinking about this

1787
01:25:46,439 --> 01:25:50,880
Speaker 1: earlier this week. First round running backs next year. We

1788
01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:53,760
Speaker 1: saw the running back This past draft cycle. We saw

1789
01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:56,080
Speaker 1: running backs fall out of the first round more than

1790
01:25:56,120 --> 01:25:59,960
Speaker 1: ever before, and only Christian McCaffrey of those that were

1791
01:26:00,120 --> 01:26:02,599
Speaker 1: drafted in the first round last year, only Christian McCaffrey

1792
01:26:02,640 --> 01:26:05,240
Speaker 1: has lived up to his draft status. If you look

1793
01:26:05,240 --> 01:26:09,280
Speaker 1: ahead to next year, other than Christian McCaffrey, which running

1794
01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:10,759
Speaker 1: backs are going to go in the first round.

1795
01:26:11,400 --> 01:26:13,439
Speaker 5: I thought you're gonna phrase it by which one. If

1796
01:26:13,479 --> 01:26:15,519
Speaker 5: there's one other one, which one, it would well.

1797
01:26:15,560 --> 01:26:19,120
Speaker 6: Find another one as of right now, not be John Robinson,

1798
01:26:19,160 --> 01:26:22,439
Speaker 6: but if he closes as a bell cow if Smith

1799
01:26:22,439 --> 01:26:24,760
Speaker 6: gets fired, or if Smith gets fired, but two other

1800
01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:26,360
Speaker 6: guys that I think could jump in, and they're both

1801
01:26:26,360 --> 01:26:28,519
Speaker 6: coming off major knee injury this year and getting a

1802
01:26:28,520 --> 01:26:31,799
Speaker 6: lot more work than I thought. Or Brestall and Javonte Williams.

1803
01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:33,280
Speaker 6: I think they closed strong.

1804
01:26:33,360 --> 01:26:35,600
Speaker 4: We can see the founders though, Yeah, I think so.

1805
01:26:35,880 --> 01:26:38,479
Speaker 5: I think the other two candidates are Travis CTN and

1806
01:26:38,520 --> 01:26:40,280
Speaker 5: potentially Jimior Gibbs.

1807
01:26:39,960 --> 01:26:43,040
Speaker 1: But pro Gibbs it I think the problem on Gibbs

1808
01:26:43,160 --> 01:26:45,960
Speaker 1: is always going to be touchdowns. He's not going to

1809
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:48,400
Speaker 1: get the ball to goal line and that's not changing,

1810
01:26:48,920 --> 01:26:51,040
Speaker 1: I think. I think, and so many people got I

1811
01:26:51,080 --> 01:26:53,120
Speaker 1: think just finally the world has figured out to the

1812
01:26:53,160 --> 01:26:54,440
Speaker 1: opposite they're gonna.

1813
01:26:54,280 --> 01:26:56,000
Speaker 5: That was That was me saying, these are the only

1814
01:26:56,040 --> 01:26:58,800
Speaker 5: ones I can think of. Yeah, maybe Jonathan Taylor, if

1815
01:26:58,840 --> 01:27:01,240
Speaker 5: he really just is cowish at the end of the.

1816
01:27:01,160 --> 01:27:03,280
Speaker 1: Season again he goes electric down the stretch, I can

1817
01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:05,680
Speaker 1: see that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but that's probably what it

1818
01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:08,519
Speaker 1: would take. Thanks for listening, everybody, If you miss any
