Speaker 1: Chargy and back in studio. Yes, I've never said it's

7
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: good to see you, but it's good to see yeah

8
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,640

Speaker 1: be back. And and for everybody who put up with

10
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: me sounding like I was doing my portion of the show,

11
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: my third of the show from an outhouse in Albuquerque. Um,

12
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: thank you for putting up with that. I really appreciate it.

13
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: And it's great to be back my coast today. Scott

14
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: Fish and Brian Johnson, Hello, Hello and Scott. You haven't

15
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,639
Speaker 1: even been on the show like a month. I love

16
00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: that we all have, yes, true, I love that we

17
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: all have varying degrees of facial hair. Today I grew it.

18
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: I grew on a COVID beard. Yeah, I got the

19
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: the mustache. I'm bringing awareness to men's health with the

20
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: awfulness of my mustache. And it's not for you know,

21
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: it's not for looks. It's for it's for awareness that,

22
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 1: over the course of the show will answer three tough questions.

23
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: We'll give you a premature speculation. We'll give you nine

24
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: players upon whom you can take a chance, and of

25
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: course we'll break down every game fantasy style with letter grades.

26
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: You know how it works. We begin Scott with the

27
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: Lions taking on the Browns. It looks like Jared Goff's

28
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: not gonna go on this one. And I don't think

29
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: there's hardly a Brown to start outside of maybe Swift,

30
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: and that's got to be it Browns or Lions. It's

31
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: it's bad on both sides. The passing game, I have,

32
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: I have three starting grades. I have DeAndre Swift with

33
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: an A grade. He's coming out, still get to night,

34
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: still help from the quarterback position, no help from the

35
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: quarterback position, but he still gets all those those balls

36
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: thrown to him. Who of his three backups are injured.

37
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: Two of his three other running backs in that backfield

38
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: are injured running backs who have grabbed at least four

39
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: balls against the Browns, basically the dual threat backs. They

40
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: have torched the Browns. Those four backs scored eight touchdowns

41
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: at averaged about a hundred yards, So I got an

42
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: A grade on Swift. I have a C grade on

43
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: Hockinson despite the disastrous goose egg. I think it might

44
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 1: be a little bit of a squeaky wheel game. Maybe

45
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: Tim Boyle depends on Hockinson is a safe option I have.

46
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: I have a C grade on him. It's I'm not confum,

47
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 1: but the Browns have allowed six catches for sixty yards

48
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: and a score two in each of the last three weeks,

49
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: two tight ends. That's the average stat line. So but

50
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: in the passing game, I have everyone else on the bench,

51
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: mostly because of Boil but also the it's it's not

52
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: a good spot. On the other side, I have the

53
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: whole passing game on the bench. Again, Baker's top two

54
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: hundred fifty yards just once in the last nine weeks

55
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: and only two multiple score games. Most teams basically just

56
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: run on the Lions. They don't have to throw. I

57
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: can't trust Baker, he's still banged up. I have Landry

58
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: on the bench because his best game is seventy one

59
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: yards and he hasn't scored all year. I've Donovan People's

60
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: Jones on the bench, who came up with an injury

61
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 1: this week and once he had that full job, they

62
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 1: were they were shifting the top coverage to him. So,

63
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: by the way, yeah, rightfully so, But I don't I

64
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: don't trust him. But a grade on Nick Chubb, who

65
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: will be back? Uh? Last time Chubb got twelve plus

66
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: touches and failed to get seventy five total yards was

67
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen. He's gonna get twelve, He's gonna get sixteen.

68
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: The six seven backs who had sixteen plus touches against

69
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: the Lions, seven of those backs scored nine times, and

70
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: six of them had a hundred plus total yards. Now,

71
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: is there a chance that backup role demails? That I

72
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: knew you would go there? In the two games the

73
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: Deanist Johnson played with Nick Chubb this year and Kareem

74
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: Hunt out, he had thirty five total snaps, not touches snaps,

75
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 1: thirteen touches for forty seven yards in those two games.

76
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: Even against the Lions, good matchup should get ahead. Tim

77
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: Boyle could score easily zero points in this game. I

78
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: think it's a Chub day. No, I would Alba argue

79
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: in the Nick Chubb side of this, Yes, I I would.

80
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: I would not be flexing Deernest Johnson. But I can

81
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: see your arguments. So if you're really entire straights, let's

82
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: go over to the Tech. That was very brisk, thank you.

83
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: Let's go over to the Texans taking on the Titans.

84
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: Not a lot of great starters here, but there are

85
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: some Texans. Oh wait, we were not. What game are

86
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: we doing next? Jets, Dolphins, Jets, Dolphins Jets, you say

87
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: let's go to all right, let's go to Dolphins Jets then,

88
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: Because Texans Titans is a take confest, we'll get to

89
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,720
Speaker 1: that a little later. So Dolphins at Jets, first meeting

90
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: between these two divisional rivals, so we can't reference recent

91
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: history in this matchup. Starting with the Miami side, the

92
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: road team in to a toungo. Viola was going to

93
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: we might take a chance of the quarterback, but it's

94
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: too easy in this matchup. I'm giving him a B

95
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: here for to New York. New York has allowed multiple

96
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns in five straight games. Over those five games,

97
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: opposing passers are averaging a whopping three five yards and

98
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: two point four passing touchdowns. Solid B for Tua uh,

99
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: Solid B for Jalen Waddle as well. It really doesn't

100
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: matter who's playing quarterback from Miami, Waddle produces consistently. Uh.

101
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: The one glaring difference though between Twa and Brissette is

102
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: all of the touchdown receptions for Waddle worth thrown by Tua,

103
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: and the Jets have surrendered five scores to wideouts over

104
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: their last four games. Love Waddle in this game. Now

105
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: for Miami's wide receiver to Albert Wilson and Isaiah four

106
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: both had four catches and eighty plus yards in Week ten.

107
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: But not gonna throw any se darts or or harpoons

108
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: here both around the bench. But Mike Kisiki is not

109
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: who is really truly the wide receiver to for Miami.

110
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: Runs most of his routes from the slot or outside. Uh,

111
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: he gets a b was more like Mike goose Egg

112
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: last week like that, but finds himself I think I

113
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: someone tweeted me that, so I can't take full credit

114
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: for it. But use Kasecki finds himself in the perfect

115
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: bounce backspot against the Jets, who over the last five

116
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: games have streundered four touchdowns to the tight end position.

117
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: During that same span, the very comparable Kyle Pitts posted

118
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: a monster game with nine catches or nineteen yards in

119
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: a score, and like Kasecki, Pits runs most of his

120
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: routes from the slaughter outside. So a great matchup for

121
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: the quote unquote tight end Mike Gisicki. And lastly for Miami.

122
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: I'll give Miles gascon to be only because it's an

123
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: odd numbered week. He only goes off in odd numbered weeks,

124
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: and the even numbered weeks he he wets the bed.

125
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: But it is an amazing matchup that Jets are allowing

126
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: one and eighty nine combo yards and two point two

127
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: touchdowns per game to opposing running backs. I will say, though,

128
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: I will not be shocked if Salvin Akhmed how performs

129
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: Miles gas Gas to me is the is the hardest

130
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: guy to start this week because you know, the opportunity

131
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: so good, and he's flopped so hard so many times

132
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: to get not an odd numbered weeks. So that scientific

133
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: fact in a week eleven. Here over to the New

134
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: York side, shockingly a f you guys to talk about.

135
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: Of course, we'll start with Michael Carter, the most fantasy

136
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: relevant player on New York. Can give him a see though,

137
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: just to see very strong splits with Mike White at quarterback.

138
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 1: But New York is going with Joe Flacco in this game,

139
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: and let's get it out of the way. Flacco was

140
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: on the bench, by the way, so uh, just to

141
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: see for Carter. The Dolphins run defense has become very

142
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: stout against opposing backs, holding them to sixties scoreless yards

143
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: per game over the last several weeks. Uh, the Seas

144
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: continue with Corey Davis. The Dolphins have yielded the third

145
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: most red zone targets too wide receivers, and over their

146
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: last five games, they've surrendered five scores to the position.

147
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: The Dolphins secondary has also surrendered to one yard receivers

148
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 1: and five touchdowns to wide receivers over the last five

149
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: So I do give Davis a starting grade with the

150
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: sea and the once. I mean he'll likely be shadow

151
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: by Xavian Howard, who was once corner. He's allowed seven

152
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: touchdowns in his coverage, the most among quarter cornerbacks this year.

153
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: And uh one more starting grade for Jets receiver. It's

154
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: not Alijah More, it is Jamison Crowder. Miami has been

155
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: very generous you slot receivers. They've yielded the most targets

156
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 1: and allowed the most receptions. Two receivers running from the

157
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: seams and I did mention Flacco earlier. He's on the

158
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: bench shock right now. You can't can't without saying Ravens

159
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: take on the Bears. And Lamar Jackson missed Wednesday and

160
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: Thursday's practice. We came back Friday with whatever his mysterious

161
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: illness is. We don't know what the illness is. Um

162
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with um blumbago. He gets sick more

163
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: than a high schooler with a test. It's crazy. A

164
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: grade for Lamar Jackson. I like all receiving options as

165
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: you're here in a minute, and I'll mention that Chicago

166
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 1: has allowed the third fewest quarterback rushing yards, just seven

167
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: per game, but they also haven't faced any mobile quarterbacks

168
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 1: all year. So still like Jackson with an A grade.

169
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: Marquis Brown missed Thursday, Thursday's practice, and Wednesday's practice with

170
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: thigh injury, but came back Friday. He's expected to go now.

171
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: Chicago could shadow Marquis Brown with their best cornerback, Jalen Johnson,

172
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 1: but they tried that against Mike Evans a few games

173
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: ago and Evans crushed him. So I think they're gonna

174
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: keep the They're gonna keep Jalen Johnson on one side

175
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: of the field, and then that means that Marcus Brown

176
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 1: is gonna get plenty of plays against Kendallville Door, a

177
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: frequent whipping boy on this show vild Or, giving up

178
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: a passer rating of one hundred forties six in his coverage.

179
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: His Pro Football focuses ranked cornerback, and that's why Marcus

180
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: Brown gets an A grade. Richade Bateman will also get

181
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: plenty of kindall Ville Door. He's getting increasingly involved each

182
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: week and just based on his normal deployment lots of

183
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 1: wildore in this game, only five teams have allowed more

184
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,839
Speaker 1: wide receiver touchdowns than Chicago, and I think Bateman could

185
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: easily find the Enzo for the first time in his career.

186
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: Permission to throw out a nickname Preville Door. Oh please,

187
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: the Ville door is a jar? Doors a jar? I mean,

188
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: how about it? Can't he just be like an open book?

189
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, isn't that? Isn't that? You know?

190
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: Is he bad at read coverage? I don't know. I

191
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: don't know. There's I mean, I think there's I think

192
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: there's a better angle on killed Kendallville Door. I'm gonna

193
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 1: go back to the lab. All right, thank you, yeah,

194
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: workshop that please Mark Andrews. If I didn't say Bateman's

195
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: a B, he's a BAT. Mark Andrews also be uh

196
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: second in yards among all tight ends. He remains an

197
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 1: a leite option, but it could be a tough matchup.

198
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: The Bears had only allowed one tight end touchdown until

199
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: their previous game before the bye, when Pat Fryarmouth scored twice. Uh.

200
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 1: Since Week two, they failed every opposing tight end under

201
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: fifty yards and that includes the like of Darren Waller

202
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: and t J. Hockenson. So just the B grade on

203
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews, but I still like him enough here. Now

204
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: the running backs is a it's a messy situation and

205
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: I'll do my best here for the With Baltimore's running backs,

206
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: if Latavius Murray is healthy, presumably he returns to the

207
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: starting role, but he's shaping up as a game time decision,

208
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: we don't know yet. And if so, he gets a

209
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: C grade, and then Devonte Freeman would probably get enough

210
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: touches where you've attempted to play and you probably shouldn't.

211
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 1: But if Murray is out, then will upgrade Freeman all

212
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: the way up to a B grade. Since he would

213
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: get the overwhelming Lions share of the touches. The Bears

214
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: are allowing one rushing yards per game on four point

215
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: six yards per carry to opposing running backs, both sixth most,

216
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: and as people probably know by now, uh, they have

217
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: ruled out Khalil Mack for the rest of the year,

218
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: so whatever run support he would have lent will not

219
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: be there. Okay, so let's go to the bare side

220
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: of the field. I like David Montgomery here B grade.

221
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: Last we saw him before the bye, he put up

222
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 1: an impressive game against a good Steelers defense, and he's

223
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: even healthier now after the bye. Baltimore's top five and

224
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: rushing yards allowed, giving up only four yards per carry,

225
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: but they've given up eight rushing scores, which bodes wall

226
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: for Montgomery as Chicago calls running plays at the highest

227
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 1: rate inside the five yard line. So I like Montgomery

228
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: to score in this game, and so a B grade

229
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: for him. Let's go to the passing game. I originally

230
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: had a C grade on justin Fields, but I've lowered

231
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: him to a bench on news that Allen Robinson will

232
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: not play in this game or is not expected to

233
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: play in this game. Listed as doubtful. Baltimore is allowing

234
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 1: the most passing yards almost three per game. Where Fields

235
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: kills you is he's only averaging twenty four passes a game.

236
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: That's the lowest among all starting quarterbacks. Now, Baltimore usually

237
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: sees thirty six a game, So maybe Fields gets into

238
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: the low thirties on on attempts and that could get

239
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: him to an okay game here, but he's gonna have

240
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: to do it on Darnell Mooney and Cole Commit and

241
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: I don't know that those guys can carry a passing

242
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: offense um. And also, Baltimore has been very good against

243
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 1: rushing quarterbacks to this point of the season, allowing the

244
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: second fewest quarterback rushing yards just seven per games. So

245
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: I don't know the field is gonna help you there either,

246
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: and that's why he's on the bench. Mooney comes in

247
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 1: with a C grade. Baltimore giving up one d eighty

248
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 1: four yards per game to opposing receivers, that is eighth most.

249
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: They've also allowed a receiver to post at least eighty

250
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 1: four yards or multiple touchdowns two receivers in four the

251
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 1: last five, so there are opportunities for Mooney here. Marlon

252
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: Humphrey who used to be a great cornerback, has allowed

253
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: five scores in a passer rating of over one hundreds coverage,

254
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: which is not like it is. It is a little

255
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: bit odd. So an opportunity for Mooney there and then

256
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 1: Cole Commet. I had him. I had him on the

257
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: bench originally and then ultimately decided on a C grade

258
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,559
Speaker 1: coming off a career best game eight targets, six catches,

259
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: eighty seven yards against Pittsburgh, And it's a good opportunity

260
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: for defense that struggled against tight ends. Ravens are bottom

261
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: seven in receptions, yards and scores to tight ends, and

262
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: the Ravens had really brutal Yeah, that's exactly what's gonna say. Yeah, there,

263
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: you know, at one point early on, I'm like, well,

264
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 1: it's like Travis else. Ye really even since then, exactly,

265
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: I like the way you think, Scott Fish. When we

266
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: come back, hopefully you'll like the way we think about

267
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: nine players not normally in your starting lineup. It's called

268
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: take a chance on me, find some guys off the

269
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 1: waiver wire that can help you this week. When we

270
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: return Fantasy Football Weekly, it's take a chance on me.

271
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: Nine players not normally in your starting lineup. I want

272
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: to mention, by the way, shout out to the local

273
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: Minneapolis band I think I believe called Soap, the band

274
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: that was nice enough to record the US for us,

275
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: which is pretty damn moss awesome. And I have not

276
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: given them a shout out by name yet this year,

277
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,920
Speaker 1: and I apologize for that. We gotta go see him play.

278
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: We should help the band reach out, let us know,

279
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: let us know how we can support you, because you've

280
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: helped us and now we're gonna help you. At the

281
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: quarterback position, Scott Fish, give us a player under the

282
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: radar that could be available for people to pick up

283
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: and play. I'm not sure exactly how under the radar

284
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: he is, but he's he's still under about owned, which

285
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: is just ridiculous. And we've talked about this before that

286
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 1: he needs to be more rostered more. Jimmy Garoppolo, Uh, yeah,

287
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 1: the Jags held down Went and Allen recently, but before that,

288
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: they've given up five plus yr days, five multi touchdown scores.

289
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: Even Alan got a bunch of work done on the ground,

290
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: and Jimmy g seems to be running it in now

291
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: that he knows that Trey Lance is on his field

292
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: on his heels. He's running scores in But Jimmy has

293
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: multiple touchdowns in three straights and all his weapons are healthy. Now,

294
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: so give me Jimmy. G Yeah, the fact that all

295
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: the weapons are healthy. To me, it's a big part

296
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 1: of that story. I should just at that and moved on.

297
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: You got right. There was quarterback position Brian the Raiders

298
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: Derek Carr at home against the Bengals. It is carbage

299
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: time yet again, since he is coming off their BIS

300
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: so they've had some time to prepare for this one.

301
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,160
Speaker 1: But still over the Bengals last two games, they surrendered

302
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: five passing touchdowns to Baker Mayfield and Mike White. Uh.

303
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: This game should be pretty high scoring is very simple

304
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: Vegas things. Though. It has the second highest over under

305
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: on the Sunday Slate at fifty point five points. I

306
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: like the Raiders to rebound here at Derek Carr. I'm

307
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: gonna go with Cam Newton. You guys know, I've been

308
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: very skeptical of Newton in the past, but this is

309
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 1: such a fascinating matchup. He gets to go up against

310
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: arguably the worst past defense in the NFL. Washington ranks

311
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: twenty nine and passing yards allowed and dead last in

312
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns allowed. Um. What makes this particularly fascinating is

313
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: he's going up against his old coach. Ron Rivera knows

314
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: where all the bodies are buried with camwy All, the deficiencies,

315
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: all the problems in his game, and the good things

316
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: in his game. So can the old coach scheme up

317
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: away to stop Cam Newton. I don't know that you

318
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: can stop him from running into touchdown, and I think

319
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: there's a good chance he does that. Here the last

320
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: mobile quarterback that Washington has seen, well, the only mobile

321
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: quarterback that Watchington scene was Daniel Jones. And you maybe

322
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: remember earlier too he ran all over to yards in

323
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: touchdown in that game. So I think one way or another,

324
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: Camp finds his way to a good game. Well, two

325
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: snaps two touchdowns last week, that the first two. At

326
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: one point he was two for two. That's right. Let's

327
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 1: go to the running back position, Scott, who you got?

328
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: I have Jeff Wilson Jr. Which is starting to turn

329
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: into even better start. Now Mitchell is now doubtful. Of course,

330
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: James Hasty is out. Hasty is out, and uh. The

331
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 1: only other backs are Trey Sermon, who has done nothing

332
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: all year and they don't. They seem to hate him

333
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: and the doghouse. And then Trenton Cannon, who's a special

334
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: team's guy. This is a This is a four team

335
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: that has had the run back touch of the ball

336
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 1: twenty seven times per game over the last four and

337
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: every back that has had ten plus touches against the

338
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: Jags has top sixty plus yards. I think Wilson gets

339
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: t touches easy. I could be first half if Mitchell plays.

340
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: If he doesn't play, he could get twenty plus ye Mitch,

341
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: and I don't think Mitchell goes if I don't need.

342
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: He's doubtful at this point. He's been banged up for

343
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: a long time. He just he needs a week off

344
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:26,360
Speaker 1: to heal. Let's go to your running back, Brian, who

345
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 1: doesn't want to go back to Vegas. So I'm gonna

346
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 1: do the same. Kenyan Drake of the Raiders tried all

347
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: the second times the charm. I know I'm saying goes,

348
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 1: but it will be this week. I like Drake against

349
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 1: the Bengals, who over the last two games have allowed

350
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: two thirty one combo yards and two touchdowns per game

351
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: to opposing running backs. I know Josh Jacobs is the

352
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 1: lead back for Las Vegas, but there should be some

353
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: scraps left over for Drake Drake on the ground, But

354
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: this is all about the receiving angle. Despite having their

355
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 1: by the Bengals have yielded these second most targets and

356
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: the second most red zone targets running backs, and our

357
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: top three in the most catches and yards allowed to

358
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: the position. Your lead running back for Tennessee is not

359
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 1: Adrian Peterson, it is Donte Foreman, and Foreman gets a

360
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: great opportunity against the Texans, allowing the second most rushing

361
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 1: yards and the fourth most rushing touchdowns per game. And

362
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: basically this Texans defense, they've shut down half the defense

363
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: or traded away or otherwise or without half their defensive starters.

364
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: At this point, Foreman had seventy eight total yards last

365
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: week against a far tougher Saints defense, and he had

366
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: tripled the output of Adrian Peterson and Jeremy McNichols. And

367
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:44,119
Speaker 1: the icing on the cake. McNichols isn't playing this week

368
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 1: and Adrian cat catch, so the passing work out of

369
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: the backfield may very well go to Foreman as well,

370
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: a delicious opportunity. He almost looked like Derrick Henry out there.

371
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: I was I forgot how big Foreman is, dudes, giant.

372
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: I forgot he was in the league too. Yeah, that too.

373
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: That's because the Achilles injury. Man, you guys don't come

374
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: back from that as all. It bodes well for cam

375
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: Akers a little. But Formans, like three years off his

376
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: achilles has taken him a long time to get back.

377
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: We'll find out. Let's go to the receiving options, Scott,

378
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: I'm going with Adam Troutman. I can't believe I'm adding

379
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: Adam Troutman in here. But the Eagles have been basically

380
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: the seventeen Giants or the twenty nineteen Cardinals right now.

381
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: They've allowed the most yards, receptions, and touchdowns to tight ends.

382
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: Seven different tight ends have tallied nine touchdowns, scored nine times.

383
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: Truman has six plus targets in three straight. He has

384
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: nine catches in the last two weeks. He's coming on.

385
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 1: We don't have all all of our fish sounds, are not, sorry,

386
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: not fishing all of our animal sounds that we've got.

387
00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 1: You know that. You know we have a number of

388
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 1: them at our disposal here right. We don't have a fish.

389
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,879
Speaker 1: We don't talk about trout anywhere, No trout to be.

390
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: If we talked about kickers, we'd have to either bass

391
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 1: to It makes total sense. Scott Fish going with Adam Trapp.

392
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: Go figure h Bryan, Who's gonna take a chance of

393
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: the receiver. We said the Texans and Titans were a

394
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: take comfest on I'm going with Houston's Nico Collins at Tennessee. Now,

395
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 1: Houston's Danny Amendolas all the second most targets among Houston

396
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: wide receivers last week and charged one of your favorite players,

397
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 1: Chris Connolly is still getting some targets, but my gut

398
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: is telling me to throw the harpoon at Collins. In

399
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 1: a very plus matchup, opposing wide receivers are averaging more

400
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: than twenty five targets, six team catches, and two hundred

401
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 1: and twelve yards per game versus the Titans. Whiteouts are

402
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 1: also averaging one and a half touchdowns per game against

403
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 1: Tennessee and que up that peacock because might take a

404
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: chance of me wide receiver. Last week, Marquez Callaway scored

405
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: against the Titans. Nico Collins is gonna do the same.

406
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 1: I'm in the same game opposite side of the field.

407
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: Marcus Johnson, the name many of you are not even

408
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 1: familiar with. Your's. Your is your Julio Jones replacement for

409
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. And he goes up against Houston like

410
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 1: Don to Foreman does. And this is secondary that surrendered

411
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,959
Speaker 1: six receiver scores in their last four games. And Johnson

412
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: has quietly been a favorite of Tannehills in the non

413
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:17,640
Speaker 1: Julio Jones games, where he's garnered a target share percentage

414
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: of six and pent for Marcus Johnson got him one

415
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 1: yard game last week. I think he has another good

416
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: one here, Marcus Johnson. I was dumb enough to sit

417
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: Marcus Johnson over Cole Beasley, Chris Godwin and Tyler Lock

418
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: in the Dynasty League last week. But you but you left.

419
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: You still got him. I'm holding it. I'm gonna play

420
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 1: this week. You're right. I like the call. Fantastic. Let's

421
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: go onto our next matchup, Scott, which is the Colts

422
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 1: taking on the Bills. Colts passing offense went belly up

423
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 1: hard last week and a much tougher matchup this week.

424
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,640
Speaker 1: I was gonna say it's it's not getting much better here.

425
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 1: The Bills have only allowed six passing touchdowns this year

426
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: through nine games. That's it's amazing. That's ridiculous. So I

427
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: hope you're not counting on Carson Wentz. He did, he

428
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: had a nice streak in there, but it came to

429
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: an end last week. He's not getting anything this week.

430
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 1: I'm still giving Michael Pittman a B though, he's he

431
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: just gets such a huge percentage of that team's volume.

432
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,679
Speaker 1: It's not the best matchup of Pittman is almost a

433
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: lock for eight to nine targets, five to six catches weekly,

434
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,719
Speaker 1: and the players that have gotten that kind of volume

435
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 1: against the Bills have done pretty decently. So there's hope there.

436
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: But don't hold for a score though, because that just

437
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 1: doesn't happen. Jonathan Taylor, however, I have a B grade

438
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: on I could be talked into an A bit it's

439
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: just such a tough matchup. The reason I could be

440
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: talked into an A I'm doing a B is that

441
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: Derrick Hunt Derrick Henry crushed them for a hundred and

442
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 1: fifty six yards and three scores. That's the only comparable

443
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: to Jonathan Taylor that has played the Bills. Michael Carter

444
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: had eighty two and a score against the Bills. Um

445
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: easier to run on the Bills than past. Yeah, all

446
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 1: the other runners are not even remotely like Michael Carter

447
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: is probably maybe Antonio Gibson and had a hundred total

448
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: yards too, So there are backs that have done it

449
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,479
Speaker 1: against the Bills, and Taylor's right in that field, so

450
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: I give him a beat. On the other side, there's

451
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 1: a whole lot of stuff that you just don't know

452
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 1: where the scoring is going. I like, I like Alan

453
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: for an a grade Like once Alan struggled against the

454
00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: jag two weeks ago, but he rebounded big last week.

455
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: This game, he gets a cold steve that is bottom

456
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: tending almost every passing category, including allowing the most passing touchdowns.

457
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: So a grade on Allan Diggs gets an A because

458
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: he's coming back around. He has eight five plus yards

459
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: and or score in four straight grabbing at least seven

460
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: balls in each of them, and he's top sixty sixty

461
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 1: yards in every single game, like he's got a super

462
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: safe floor. So this team is allowing the sixth most receptions,

463
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: eight most yards, and second most touchdowns and wide receivers,

464
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 1: but I sadly just can't trust the other three wide

465
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 1: receivers that you know every time you think you gotta

466
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: read on which receiver might have a good game turns

467
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 1: around and flops. Yeah, Sanders had a lot of touchdowns

468
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,360
Speaker 1: earlier in the year. Um last week Sanders snaps went

469
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: down to Beasley had a couple of huge plays. I'm sorry,

470
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: Davis had a couple of huge plays. Beasley had a

471
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: couple of good games. But now he's got the rib

472
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 1: injury that really took him out last week, and he

473
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 1: might be slowed this week. So I have them on

474
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: the bench. I didn't believe me for that. One might

475
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 1: pop up. We just don't know who Dawson knocks. I

476
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: have a C grade on last week. Dan Arnold had

477
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 1: had a decent five for sixty seven stat line. Earlier

478
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,640
Speaker 1: in the year, Mark Andrews and Mike Gasecki had had

479
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: really good days against them. I view knocks closer to

480
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 1: those guys than all the mesh of tight ends that

481
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,400
Speaker 1: did twenty to forty yards. Uh, so he's gonna see

482
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 1: for me here. Hey, don't forget about the two point

483
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: conversion for dan Arnold touchdown, he touchdown. You need to

484
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 1: get every little bit in. Uh, I'm on the running game.

485
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: I have them on the bench too. Just like the

486
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 1: wide receivers. Uh. Part of the reason the past game

487
00:25:57,960 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 1: should have a field day is because the Colts are

488
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 1: sneakily a top five run defense right now. Um and

489
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: with Breta coming on last week stealing snaps and touches

490
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 1: and touchdowns, it's a three way split. Last week it

491
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: was six touches to seven touches to eight touches. I

492
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: don't like that, so I have them on the bench. Yeah,

493
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: and it's you know, it's not the Jets again. So

494
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 1: even though there were whatever four or five, you know,

495
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 1: was it four running back touchdowns for each of them

496
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: scored and Breda got two twice. I'm just like we

497
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: knew it was gonna happen. Who didn't call Matt Brita

498
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: everyone first game that he hasn't been inactive since Week three,

499
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: scoring twice. Let's let's squeeze in one more matchup, Brian,

500
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: because I think this one's gonna be pretty short, based

501
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: in the fact we've already talked about half of the

502
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: players in this game. Texans taking on the Titans. I

503
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 1: already told you two different Texans that I liked, including

504
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: starting running back down to foreman. Yeah, we'll started on

505
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 1: the Texans side with the guys we haven't talked about.

506
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: Brandon Cook's gonna give him a B. The move back

507
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 1: to Taylor at quarterback did not affect Cook's massive targets share.

508
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: He saw thirteen targets last week at Miami. I said

509
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: this earlier. Opposing wide receivers are averaging more than twenty

510
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 1: five targets, sixteen catches, and two twelve yards per game

511
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 1: against the Titans. That's why Nico Collins was gonna take

512
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 1: a chance on me wide receiver. It also makes Tarad

513
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,959
Speaker 1: Trod Taylor worthy of a Sea dart. The Titans have

514
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: surrendered the fifth most fantasy points to quarterbacks and mobile

515
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,719
Speaker 1: quarterbacks like Kyler Murray and Trevor Lawrence both scored on

516
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: the ground against Tennessee. But all the Texans running backs

517
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 1: are not worthy of any darts unless they're like elephant tranquilizers. Uh,

518
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:31,879
Speaker 1: they're all on the bench. Over to the Tennessee side,

519
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,880
Speaker 1: A J. Brown and easy a here. Brown has seen

520
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: the Texans four times in his career and has totaled

521
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: five touchdowns against them, scoring in every game. He's also

522
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: topped one yards and three of those four games, So

523
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: this is a smash spot for Brown and it could

524
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,360
Speaker 1: be a smash spot for Marcus Johnson. Charge here, take

525
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 1: a chance of me wide receiver. And I had a

526
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:55,199
Speaker 1: great write up written for Jeff Swain night end but

527
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:58,160
Speaker 1: has been ruled out. Unfortunately he had distance some distanced

528
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 1: himself from Anthony Ferkser and Michael Pruett. So I'm gonna

529
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: give ferks to receive though here kind of a sleeper

530
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: tight end that has been a massive disappointment, but an

531
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 1: amazing matchup for the tight end uh for Tennessee, and

532
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 1: I will go with frokes Are again. Despite having their

533
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: by Houston has yielded the second most red zone touches

534
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: and have allowed the third most touchdowns to tight ends

535
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: with a sit with six, and five of those six

536
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: tight end touchdowns have come over the last six games

537
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: for Houston. We're opposing tight ends are also averaging nearly

538
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: five catches and sixty yards. So Anthony Brokeser could finally

539
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: come through for those that are probably draft him in

540
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 1: best Ball. But if you're desperate tight end, go out

541
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: and grab ferks Er. Uh, Dante Foreman, Like you said,

542
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: charge was yourna take a chance on me running back

543
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: and of course, you have to mention Ryan Tannehill, who,

544
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: outside of Jacoby Brissette, Baker Mayfield and Mac Jones Houston

545
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: has surrendered multiple passing touchdowns in every game. Tannehill has

546
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 1: been kind of a disappointment touchdown wise. The rushing touchdowns

547
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: have been saving him from Fantasy irrelevancy. But uh, and

548
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 1: I should have mentioned this is the first meeting between

549
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: these divisional opponents. But the last time Tannehill saw the

550
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: Texans at home last season, he went for passing yards

551
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: and four passing touchdowns. Might do that again. I don't

552
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: think he's got the receivers to do that at this point,

553
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: but you never know. He's got Marcus Johnson. What are

554
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: you talking about? Well, there's that he doesn't have Jeff

555
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 1: Swain though that hurts, That does hurt. Uh. Final chances

556
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: to join a Guillotine league is this week. We've got

557
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 1: drafts over the weekend. If you still want to join

558
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: and there's still what eight weeks of play left, plenty

559
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 1: of time, plenty of fun. You can still join a

560
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 1: Guillotine league at guillotine leagues dot com. When we come back.

561
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: More matchup breakdowns, including Packers taking on the Vikings what

562
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: to expect from Kirk Cousins, Justin Jefferson, and Adam Feeling

563
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: in a tricky matchup when we returned to Fantasy Football Weekly,

564
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly, Paul charchy and Scott Fish

565
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: and Brian Johnson. You can follow us on Twitter if

566
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: you'd like. Scott Fish is at Scott Fish twenty four,

567
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson is at b t x J, and I

568
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: am at Paul Charchion. You're just gonna have to figure

569
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 1: out how to spell it, which honestly is not that easy.

570
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: Packers take on the Vikings in a in a matchup

571
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: that has a number of fascinating angles. But let's start

572
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: with A J. Dillon assuming the workhorse role with Aaron

573
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 1: Jones out, and maybe more important than the rushing opportunities

574
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: is he's proven himself to be a capable receiver with

575
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: one hundred receiving yards over the last two games, and

576
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: if he can pick up Aaron Jones receiving duties, it

577
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: cements Dylan as a high floor, high upside play. This week,

578
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 1: the Vikings run stuffer Michael Pierce had a setback on

579
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: his injury and will miss several more games in the

580
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: last three weeks. Minnesota's bottom ten in rushing ards and

581
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 1: rushing scores allowed to running back, So a nice opportunity

582
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: for a J. Dell. In fact, he's my number four

583
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: ranked running back this week. Love him A grade for

584
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 1: a J with him and he did not draft himself.

585
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: Now he's got, he's got. Well, we gotta hope he

586
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: faces himself. He did last week, but he won. He

587
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: wanted he himself. Let's go to the passing game for

588
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers a B grade. The Vikings really tattered defense

589
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: has overperformed for several weeks now, and they get Harrison

590
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: Smith backs, their safety, they get their number one quarterback,

591
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson back, and since Week three, Minnesota's allowed just

592
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: two hundred thirty five passing yards and one point one

593
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns per game. That's it, and that was largely

594
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: without those guys. Maybe the other shoe falls against a

595
00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 1: familiar rival here, Aaron Rodgers and Rodgers was awesome against

596
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: Minnesota last year, but that was a totally different Minnesota

597
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: defense than this year. Rodgers has thrown exactly two touchdowns

598
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 1: in five of seven games, and I've I've got him

599
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: on about two touchdowns of this game as well. Davante

600
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: Adams is an obvious A and I don't even need

601
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: to expand on that really. Um, but let's talk more

602
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: about Randall Cobb and MVS. That are they were flirting

603
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: with CS, but I can't quite get there because they

604
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: just have so many one, two and three catch games

605
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: that even in even in favorable matchups where you look

606
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: going and go, oh, this looks like a good one

607
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: in the slot for Randall Cobb and then you get

608
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: two catches for twenty three yards. Jeez, no reliability for

609
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: these guys. And mostly the Vikings are getting beat by

610
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: opposing number one receivers and not the not the other guys.

611
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: So I've got bench grades on Cobb and MVS and

612
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: Alan Lazard is not expected to go in this game.

613
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 1: Let's go to uh, let's go to the Viking side

614
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: and Dalvin Cook. Five career games against the Packers, Cook

615
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 1: averaging nineteen touches for one D twenty six yards and

616
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: more than a touchdown per game. So I like Cooks here.

617
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: He's an obvious A start and we'll we'll be watching

618
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: injuries here to uh. Whitney mer Mersey is out and

619
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: Rashan Gary is shaping up as a game time decision

620
00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: that could really weaken the front end of a defense

621
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: that allows four point one yards per carry but has

622
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: given up seven rushing scores. I still think the Vikings

623
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,959
Speaker 1: best path to victory lies through Dalvin Cook, and we're

624
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: gonna get a lot of use from Dalvin Cook in

625
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 1: this game A grade. It's a lot trickier for Kirk

626
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: Cousins in this one. The Packers have become the league's

627
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,720
Speaker 1: most hostile past defense over the past three weeks. They've

628
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: completely shut down Kyler Murray, Patrick Mahomes and Russell Wilson,

629
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: holding them two averages of one hundred passing yards and

630
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: one touchdown between the three of them. The best way

631
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 1: to shut down Kirk Cousins is to get pressure on Cousins,

632
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: at which point he gets skittish and he started starts

633
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: throwing checkdowns and dump offs. And the Packers pass rush

634
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: has been phenominal of late. Even if for Shane Gary

635
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: can't play, I worry that Cousins won't have time to

636
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: get his receiver's open down field. Green Bay ranks number

637
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: one in completion percentage and number two in yards per attempt,

638
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: and this it's the yards pert tempt that worry me.

639
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:15,839
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a lot of dump off

640
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 1: stuff from Kirk, and I'm nervous about that. So I've

641
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: got just the C grade on Kirk Cousins. Let's talk

642
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: about his receivers. Justin Jefferson was great last week, but

643
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 1: I'm dramatically tougher matchup against a team that has not

644
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: allowed any receiver more than thirty seven yards in the

645
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 1: past two weeks. Despite facing Patrick Mahomes and Russell Wilson,

646
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,720
Speaker 1: Green Bay hasn't given up a touchdown to a receiver

647
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: in three weeks. Cornerback Kevin King is allowed just one

648
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: touchdown and rookie Eric Stokes has a passer rating of

649
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 1: just seventy five against him. These are good. These cornerbacks

650
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:52,520
Speaker 1: are playing way over expectation. What a roller coaster ride

651
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: for King went from like down's been good. Jefferson has

652
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 1: been super steady, and that's why he gets a B

653
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: grade here. At least eighty yards are a touchdown in

654
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: six of the last seven. Jefferson posted just twenties six

655
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: yards in each of his two matchups against Green Bay

656
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: last year, though, so be great on Justin Jefferson. Ce

657
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: grade on feeling he's become somewhat touchdown dependent and the

658
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,439
Speaker 1: Packers having a lot of wide receiver touchdown in three

659
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: straight games. As I had mentioned earlier, there's just no

660
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: soft matchups in the Packers secondary, and as I said before,

661
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: I worry about dump off passes, which don't necessarily bode

662
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: well for feeling. Tyler Conklin gets a C grade coming

663
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: off a two touchdown game. Packers have only a lot

664
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 1: of four touchdowns the tight ends, but they've surrendered the

665
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,839
Speaker 1: second most red zone touches two tight ends, and they've

666
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: given up the ninth most targets and the six most

667
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: receptions to tight ends. So I think Conkling can get

668
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: a little something done, So we'll give him a C grade.

669
00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: You're gonna blow into the conk shell. I don't have

670
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: anything like that, but you should have that. If you're

671
00:35:58,719 --> 00:36:01,240
Speaker 1: going to get the cock shell right there, that could

672
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: be Adam Troutman right there. Thank you to Brett, to

673
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: your engineer. Do you know what Bob Harris calls him

674
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:14,120
Speaker 1: football die hards? Bob Harris the fish missiles. That's pretty

675
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 1: good like that. I like it. What is your what

676
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 1: is your wife nicknamed? The fish missile? This joke came

677
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 1: up when I found that out, I bet it did

678
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 1: come up. I am not that joke right now. The

679
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 1: stats take on the Eagles, Yes they do. Trevor Simeons

680
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: should be on your bench. I don't care that he

681
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: had that. He's average two seventy five yards and two

682
00:36:42,160 --> 00:36:45,360
Speaker 1: scores in his two full games last two weeks. The

683
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 1: Eagles have allowed multiple scores six times. But they were

684
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: all really good quarterbacks Dak Mahomes, Brady Herbert types, the

685
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 1: Jimmy G Donald Golf Bridgewater types, six or fewer yards

686
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 1: for all of them, and I come bind two passing touchdowns.

687
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,839
Speaker 1: So they've held down the quarterbacks they should held hold down.

688
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: I have seen me in on the bench. Same with

689
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: all of his wide receivers. Sorry, Noah, take on for

690
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: callaway this this week, Brian. Here's the fullest of wide

691
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: receivers to top just sixty yards against the Eagles. See

692
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: who am uh Tyreek Hill, A J. Brown, Keenan Allen

693
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 1: and uh Deepo Samuel. Those are Those are all top

694
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,160
Speaker 1: ten wide receivers in the league. And the Saints don't

695
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:39,840
Speaker 1: have anybody close to that under sixty yards against the Eagles,

696
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: So I have them on the bench and the run,

697
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:46,839
Speaker 1: and of course Adam the fish missile troutman was might

698
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,600
Speaker 1: take a chance on me player. I have an A

699
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: grade on mark Ingram in somehow, somehow, I have an

700
00:37:56,880 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 1: A grade. But here's the thing. I'm neither starting tackle

701
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: is in this game to down a whole letter grade.

702
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: Oh Man kamares out. Tony Jones is designated to return,

703
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,760
Speaker 1: but I don't think he gets returned for this game.

704
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: It's gonna be all Ingram. He had eighteen touches last week.

705
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: This this Eagle's defense has allowed the seventh most rushing

706
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: yards and the seventh most strushing touchdowns, the sixth most receptions,

707
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:25,240
Speaker 1: eleventh most receiving yards. And he's You're like, mark Ingram,

708
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 1: why you mentioned receiving stuff. He's had nine catches in

709
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,800
Speaker 1: the two games with Trevor Simeon. He's actually catching passes

710
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,760
Speaker 1: from Trevor Simeon. He's getting the goal line work. Okay,

711
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 1: maybe it's not the sexiest A grade out there, but

712
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: it's an A grade alright, alright. On the other side,

713
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 1: on the other side, Jalen Hurts is an obvious A

714
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: to me. But if you if you didn't already know

715
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,840
Speaker 1: he has finished as a top twelve twelve quarterback in

716
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: nine of ten weeks. No other quarterback has done that

717
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: six times this year. He's just always getting there with

718
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: the rushing yards. Now he's added passing to that production.

719
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: Um and this is a This is a matchup against

720
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: the team that's given up over nine yards and eight

721
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the last three weeks two quarterbacks uh in

722
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 1: the passing game for all the wide receivers, DeVonta Smith.

723
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,319
Speaker 1: A grade for DeVonta Smith. The Saints of allowed a

724
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: hundred yard receiver in three straight games, five wide receiver

725
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: touchdowns in that stretch. In just the last two weeks,

726
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 1: Smith has nine catches for a hundred and eighty two

727
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,240
Speaker 1: yards and three scores. He's coming on right as Hurts.

728
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:33,320
Speaker 1: His passing is growing up. I do have Quess Watkins

729
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 1: on the badge, even though I admit he could break

730
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 1: a big one. They're gonna get passing yards here. It's

731
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: just tough to trust because he's only top three catches

732
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: once in in this this season. Dallas Goddard. He gets

733
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,800
Speaker 1: to see if he goes, which it should. It sounds

734
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:50,919
Speaker 1: like he's gonna go, so I have a C grade.

735
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 1: He generally gats two to six balls um. In his

736
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:58,399
Speaker 1: last three full games, he averaged over sixty yards per uh.

737
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: So I got him with a C grade, and I

738
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,800
Speaker 1: have Jordan Howard and and Boston's got on the bench

739
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: because Miles Standers might come back. It sounds like he's

740
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: gonna play. Yeah, but even if you didn't, it's a

741
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,479
Speaker 1: bad matchup against the Saints are on defense only really

742
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,520
Speaker 1: only Christian McCaffrey did well against him, and it took

743
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 1: him twenty four attempts. Yeah. Yeah, nobody's gonna get twenty

744
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: four attempts. Although the Eagles have shockingly turned into a

745
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 1: pretty run heavy team, very run heavy. Jalen Hurts. You

746
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,399
Speaker 1: can't tell from the box score if you didn't watch

747
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: his game. He's coming up the best game of his career.

748
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 1: He looks like the quarterbook game. Yeah. The poise, the

749
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:38,880
Speaker 1: decision making, the accuracy all really remarkably improved for for

750
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts. He's his ascension could be starting right and

751
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: they might have three top fifteen picks. If they don't

752
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: need a quarterback, that would be I don't mean a lot, Brian.

753
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 1: We've got four minutes to work through. Bengals Raiders. I

754
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 1: think you can do it. Let's give it a go.

755
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 1: Starting on the Bengal side, Joe Mixon gets an A.

756
00:40:55,239 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: The Raiders are allowing on forty three compoyards and more

757
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,720
Speaker 1: than one total touchdown per game to oppose running backs.

758
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,160
Speaker 1: Uh mixing a rare breed of bell cow in these

759
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 1: times meeting. He's also a very good receiver. Last week,

760
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 1: Kansas Cities Darryl Williams caught nine balls for one hundred

761
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: plus yards and a touchdown in Las Vegas. Easy A

762
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:15,760
Speaker 1: for Mixing, just to B for Jamaar Chase. Las Vegas

763
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: is only allowed one receiver to top one hundred yards

764
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 1: that came back in Week two, but they have allowed

765
00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,839
Speaker 1: six wide receiver touchdowns over their last four games, so

766
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: for that reason, I'll give t Higgins a B as well.

767
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,399
Speaker 1: Over the last three weeks, Higgins has seen just three

768
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,640
Speaker 1: fewer targets than Jamaar Chase and is averaging nearly eighty

769
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: yards per game during that span. Higgins has in scored

770
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: since Week two, but it's due for some positive touchdown

771
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: regression in my opinion, and Tyler Boyd can give him

772
00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 1: a C. Only in PPR leagues that we're not play

773
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,800
Speaker 1: him in standard, but uh he will face Raider slot

774
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: corner Nate Hobbs, who owns an eighty eight percent catch

775
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 1: rate in his coverage. So I like Boyd in PPR

776
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 1: with the C. I also like cj Uzoma enough to

777
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 1: give him a See. The Raiders have surrendered six touchdowns

778
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: to tight ends, which is the third most, and all

779
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,279
Speaker 1: those touchdowns have come over their last six games, and

780
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow gets a B. Not much explaining here when

781
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: all of his weapons got starting us so easy started

782
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 1: for Burrow over to the Raiders side, and Darren Waller,

783
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: who has been pretty much a disappointment disappointment this year,

784
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: but still gets a B here. Over their last three games.

785
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 1: Since then, Cincinnati has allowed nearly sixty yards per game

786
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: to tight ends, as well as a touchdown to the

787
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 1: position in each of their last two hunter Renfro gets

788
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 1: a B as well. The Bengal Bengals have allowed a

789
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 1: wide receiver touchdown and four of their last five games

790
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:32,919
Speaker 1: only the Detroit wide receivers had not scored during that span,

791
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,280
Speaker 1: which is totally understandable. And if the if a Raiders

792
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: wide out it's going to score, it's going most likely

793
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 1: gonna be renfro who, despite having his by, has seen

794
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: the fourth most targets inside the ten yard line among

795
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: all players this year, and Brian Edwards gonna give him

796
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,440
Speaker 1: a c uh. Edwards has seen the second most targets

797
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,360
Speaker 1: among Raiders wide receivers since the Henry Ruggs incident, and

798
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: he did have eighty eight yards in a touchdown last week,

799
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 1: so he's worth a harpoon toss or is it a heave?

800
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: Would you throw a harpoon? You talk said you heave it.

801
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,799
Speaker 1: I don't know I launched shoot. I mean it comes

802
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,719
Speaker 1: out of some kind of a gun like mechanism. I

803
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,440
Speaker 1: think you shoot it, but hard I mentioned it earlier.

804
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: This is a suspected shootout with a fifty point five

805
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 1: over under. So Edwards gets to see Josh Jacobs limited

806
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:15,799
Speaker 1: with a knee injury all week, but he should play

807
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: in this game. Gonna give him a b over. The

808
00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,319
Speaker 1: last two games, the Bengals have allowed two thirty one

809
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 1: compo yards and two touchdowns per game to running backs.

810
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 1: Huge numbers, huge numbers. Kenyan Drake is the more more

811
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 1: of the receiving back for Las Vegas, but Jacobs has

812
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:33,760
Speaker 1: average four targets. Over his last few games, and despite

813
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: having their by the Bengals have yielded these second most

814
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 1: targets and red zone targets running backs and our top

815
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 1: three in the most catches and yards allowed the position.

816
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 1: That is why Kenyan Drake was might take a chance

817
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 1: of me running back, and I coupled that altogether with

818
00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:50,439
Speaker 1: Derek carrs might take a chance on me quarterback. Nicely done,

819
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: I would say there was a lot of talking in

820
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 1: a very short time. Take us the water here, all right,

821
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 1: you go, you go do that and we will prepare

822
00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: for our number two when we start our number two

823
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: In moments for three tough questions, including some insight onto

824
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, find out if you can go three and

825
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: oh as you play along with our co host three

826
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 1: tough questions our number two Fantasy Football Weekly coming up next.

827
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 1: Do you welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly? Pult Charchi and

828
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: Scott Fish and Brian Johnson with you. This is a

829
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 1: game we like to call three tough questions. Tough question

830
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 1: Number one? What Fantasy Football Weekly letter grade? Will Cam

831
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:04,719
Speaker 1: Newton most often get A, A, A, B, A C

832
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 1: or A bench grade? Scott so, Cam Newton last year

833
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: finished as a top four team quarterback nine times, nine times,

834
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 1: a top ten quarterback six times. And that's with almost

835
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 1: no repast weapons. Eight passing touchdowns last year, yep, and

836
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 1: and twelve rushing. We gave him a C and a

837
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 1: ton of bench grades last year because we could never

838
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,840
Speaker 1: tru trust the passing. That's that's what he was getting

839
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,760
Speaker 1: last year. Now, I think we can trust the passing

840
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:40,800
Speaker 1: just a little bit more, even without Dan Arnold. Even

841
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 1: without even without Dan Arnold, He's got all these weapons

842
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:47,319
Speaker 1: he's got, He's got McCaffrey, he's got Joe Brady, who

843
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 1: you know. I I feel like truy well. I supposed

844
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:52,800
Speaker 1: Josh mcdown's okay over and he's done. He's done okay

845
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 1: for himself. But mostly his entire schedule is filled with

846
00:45:56,640 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 1: bottom seven defenses. During the fantasy season, he plays the Ants, uh,

847
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,359
Speaker 1: he plays the Bills. Those are maybe the only two

848
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:06,240
Speaker 1: matchups that are tough. The rest are bottom seven pass defenses.

849
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:10,200
Speaker 1: I'm going with B grade. Okay, I'm gonna go high

850
00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 1: on this, Brian, which letter grade will cam Newton most

851
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 1: often get on this show the rest of the way. Yeah,

852
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: When I first saw this question, I was like it's

853
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:20,760
Speaker 1: got to be a bench because he just can't trust

854
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 1: Cam Newton. But then you looked at the schedule which

855
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 1: Scott just mentioned, and it's it's pretty soft at Buffalo

856
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 1: and at Miami to two tough matchups remaining for him.

857
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,320
Speaker 1: But outside of that, he's got a very plus schedule.

858
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 1: And I would have went B as well if if

859
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: they held onto the the surging Dan Arnold. But since

860
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 1: he's he's in Jacksonville now, I'm just gonna go to

861
00:46:40,360 --> 00:46:42,919
Speaker 1: see for the most part for Cam Newton. But he

862
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 1: is startable and who would who would have thunk it

863
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:48,280
Speaker 1: cam Newton starting quarterback for the tail end of the season.

864
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: I did not expect it either. I've got C grade

865
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:53,760
Speaker 1: is the correct answer. Tampa twice as a C grade,

866
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 1: in part because they're getting that whole secondary back healthy.

867
00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:00,160
Speaker 1: Finally Sean Murphy bunting coming back. And this is a

868
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,520
Speaker 1: This is a trickier Tampa defense to throw upon than

869
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,720
Speaker 1: it used to be. And nobody of any Gilk runs

870
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:09,959
Speaker 1: on Tampa very much. So the Tampa once Buffalo is tough,

871
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 1: you say Miami is tough. I don't agree C grade

872
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: here this week he's got a C grade we already

873
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: give that. Do we do that matchup? No? Yes, we

874
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:19,879
Speaker 1: haven't done. Yeah, yeah, he was might take a chance

875
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: on you guys. C grade for this week. Atlanta and

876
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 1: New Orleans also C grades. I I was going a

877
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 1: little high. I think you were going to question number

878
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:32,799
Speaker 1: two tread trade deadlines are approaching and you could turn

879
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel into almost any receiver in the league. Are

880
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 1: you selling high or are you holding Brian? Yeah, Deebo

881
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: has been pretty incredible. His worst receiving game was he

882
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: had three catches for fifty eight yards, but he ran

883
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 1: a touchdown in that game to salvage that stat line.

884
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 1: He's all. He had another rushing touchdown last week on

885
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:57,920
Speaker 1: top of a receiving touchdown. His worst UH statistical output

886
00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 1: was five catches for fifty two yards. That's still double

887
00:48:00,440 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 1: digit points in PPR. I'm there's only one wide receiver

888
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 1: I would trade him for, and that's Cooper Cup, who

889
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:10,800
Speaker 1: just has a slightly higher floor and ceiling than Debo.

890
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:12,800
Speaker 1: But for the most part, I don't know what my

891
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: answer would be, So I guess I would say, yes,

892
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 1: I would trade him for Cooper Cup. But that's I

893
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 1: don't think it's pretty much a no, I'm holding holding strong,

894
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 1: Samuel Scott. What about you? Are you holding Samuel? Will

895
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,879
Speaker 1: you selling high? I'm holding Uh, he's doing it all.

896
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:34,840
Speaker 1: He's hard to guard all with kittl and are you

897
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: taking up taking up defenders? They can't pin him down

898
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,320
Speaker 1: with the top receiver. The running back issues are somehow

899
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 1: giving him goal line carries inside the five as well.

900
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 1: The fourty Niners have seven games left in our fantasy season,

901
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:51,720
Speaker 1: and only one of those teams ranks in the top

902
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: half of the league against wide receivers. More than that,

903
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 1: this is the time of year where I start to

904
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:01,320
Speaker 1: like want to bolster my starting line up, and deepos

905
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 1: the kind of guy i'd want to trade for. I'd

906
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:06,759
Speaker 1: trade two pieces. I'm not going for depth, so I'd

907
00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 1: rather I'd rather just keep neither of You mentioned the

908
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 1: injury issues that have haunted Deebo Samuel in the past,

909
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 1: and I think that's the only reason you to trade

910
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 1: Samuel is you put your finger in the wind and

911
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:18,799
Speaker 1: you just go, you know what, I'm not. I'm not

912
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 1: rolling the dice on Samuel anymore. And it's it's a

913
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:23,879
Speaker 1: thing until it's not, it's right, and that's but that's

914
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 1: and that's that's how I look at almost everybody with

915
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:30,240
Speaker 1: injuries until you get to like a will Fuller level

916
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 1: of injury history, I tend to say, I'm not going

917
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 1: to bank on a guy getting hurt. Yeah, we care

918
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:37,440
Speaker 1: so a little about the injury thing. We didn't even

919
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:39,800
Speaker 1: mention you, didn't even mention you guys hit on the

920
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 1: schedule stuff. I looked through this. He's gonna have an

921
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 1: A grade in every game to week eighteen, and in

922
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 1: week eighteen you shouldn't be playing anyway, don't matter. So yeah,

923
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: and Cooper Cup would be the only guy that I

924
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 1: would exchange him for. And that's we're not saying. The

925
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 1: question was not phrased. Is there any player you would

926
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 1: have you would possibly trade it for? So the answer

927
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 1: on real Deebo Samuel is real quick. I went look

928
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:09,399
Speaker 1: back at preseason ADP Brandon Auk wide receiver twenty three,

929
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel, wide receiver thirty five. Who Although, by the way,

930
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: it's a quick side note, this easy, easy schedule for

931
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 1: San Francisco also applies to Brandon, Are you yeah? You

932
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,560
Speaker 1: know I mean by low and I you right now

933
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:27,719
Speaker 1: while you're at it, maybe that should have been the

934
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:31,319
Speaker 1: tough question. Question three, What is the appropriate level of

935
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 1: concern for Mike Williams None, some or a bowl loosening

936
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: level of eggsistential dread Scott. It depends on the manager

937
00:50:43,080 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 1: going with what Brian was just talking about. For the

938
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 1: manager who drafted Mike Williams a hundred and twenty overall

939
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 1: on the ten eleven corner where his ADP was right

940
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 1: along guys with Callaway, Marvin Jones, John H. Smith, Curtis Samuel,

941
00:50:56,680 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 1: Michael Gallop, Sonny Michelle, Jamal Williams, Devin Singletary, Tyler Higbee.

942
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 1: For the people that drafted him among those, they should

943
00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:06,399
Speaker 1: be fine. They understood over the last two years he's

944
00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:08,879
Speaker 1: a thirty to sixty yard guy who occasionally has blow

945
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:12,359
Speaker 1: up games and touchdowns, so they there they should only

946
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 1: worry some because maybe they're concerned as his blow up

947
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:17,920
Speaker 1: games were all of the earlier of the season and

948
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:19,640
Speaker 1: now he's done for the year with the big blow

949
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 1: up games. For the manager who traded him after traded

950
00:51:23,920 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 1: for him after that hot start, they traded real, they

951
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 1: should be at woke up eights, some leftover Chipotle, dracob

952
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:34,880
Speaker 1: a pot of coffee and then they jumped out of

953
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 1: treadmill level of existential bow loosening dread. That's where those

954
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:42,320
Speaker 1: managers should be. But I think for most managers that

955
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 1: should be some, because people realize what Mike Williams is.

956
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 1: Some is your official answer to that in a very

957
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:54,160
Speaker 1: roundabout circuitous way, Brian, what's the appropriate level of concern

958
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: for Mike Williams? None, some or blowed? That's a very

959
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 1: tough response to follow up to. I I gotta go

960
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 1: with just some too, considering he had a hundred and

961
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 1: sixteen roughly PPR points Mike Williams in these first five

962
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 1: games and over his last four like twenty four total

963
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 1: PPR points and injury, always some sort of concern with

964
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 1: Mike Williams. Knock on wood, he won't get hurt uh

965
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 1: for the remainder of this season. But like Fish said,

966
00:52:21,400 --> 00:52:23,959
Speaker 1: it's not like he's under performing based on a super

967
00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 1: high a DP, so you can't be blowed on him

968
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 1: unless he traded for him. But like Fish said as well,

969
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 1: but just in a nutshell, just some. Uh, it's still

970
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 1: a high poetent offense and uh, hopefully you can regain

971
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 1: some of that early season magic. So where you drafted.

972
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 1: Mike Williams has nothing to do with your appropriate level

973
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:46,920
Speaker 1: of panic right now is you're staring into the gaping

974
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:49,800
Speaker 1: mall of the Fantasy playoffs. It doesn't make any difference.

975
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:54,280
Speaker 1: The correct answer is blowed. He said. Other than weeks

976
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:56,560
Speaker 1: one to three and five, which is a long time ago,

977
00:52:56,800 --> 00:53:01,759
Speaker 1: he's wide receiver nine nine zero. He has always been

978
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 1: a bloom er bust player. And here's the key part

979
00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:08,680
Speaker 1: that you guys missed. Can you count on Mike Williams

980
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:15,200
Speaker 1: to power you in three straight playoff games? Hell no,

981
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:22,959
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't hope for my tenth or eleventh. Jeff,

982
00:53:24,080 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 1: you out spent a little off. I think he starts

983
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:29,279
Speaker 1: to come around too, and that should raise the bar

984
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 1: from make Washington takes on the Panthers, and for Antonio Gibson.

985
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:41,000
Speaker 1: What a freaking head scratcher this guy is. When you

986
00:53:41,080 --> 00:53:43,840
Speaker 1: think you should bench him against the Saints and the Bucks,

987
00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:47,280
Speaker 1: he scores twice in both games, and these other matchups

988
00:53:47,280 --> 00:53:50,720
Speaker 1: that look highly exploitable, you get nothing out of Antonio Gibson.

989
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: So what do you think against the Panthers. Let's take

990
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 1: a look. He did look much healthier last week, and

991
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:59,960
Speaker 1: he got a lot of usage. Panthers um should continue

992
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:04,720
Speaker 1: as a plus opportunity for him. In the last three games,

993
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:08,720
Speaker 1: Caroline is allowed the eighth most yards per carry despite

994
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 1: seeing only the twenty first most carries. Caroline is very

995
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:14,560
Speaker 1: tough to pass upon, and the game script should favor

996
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:17,360
Speaker 1: Gibson here with plenty of work. I'm giving him a

997
00:54:17,440 --> 00:54:20,919
Speaker 1: B grade in this game. Taylor Heineke in the passing game,

998
00:54:20,960 --> 00:54:22,759
Speaker 1: is on the bench and a brutal matchup against the

999
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 1: league's number one past defense by yards. They're giving up

1000
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:30,000
Speaker 1: just one hundred passing yards per game. That's Carolina over

1001
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:33,359
Speaker 1: the past four games. That number drops even lower over

1002
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:35,359
Speaker 1: the last month of games. Carolina is giving up one

1003
00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 1: hundred fifty eight passing yards per game. That's nothing. It's

1004
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 1: a disaster for opposing quarterbacks, and less than one touchdown

1005
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:47,640
Speaker 1: per game. The mid season acquisitions of Stephan Gilmour and c. J.

1006
00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:50,640
Speaker 1: Henderson give the Panthers arguably the deepest set of cornerbacks

1007
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 1: in the league. Heineke is on the bench, Ricky Seals

1008
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:55,840
Speaker 1: Jones is out with a hip injury. They might ask

1009
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:58,520
Speaker 1: Logan Thomas to come back a week early, but they

1010
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:03,400
Speaker 1: can't start him either. That just leaves Terry McLaurin just

1011
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:05,920
Speaker 1: to c grade here, and it's just based on his

1012
00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 1: personal talent. Despite averaging nine targets in the last five games,

1013
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 1: McLaren only has reached sixty yards once and scored once.

1014
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 1: Those aren't great stats. The Panthers are allowing the fewest

1015
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:20,480
Speaker 1: yards to receivers, just eighty per game. And I mean,

1016
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:23,560
Speaker 1: if if McLaren and the rest of the receivers have

1017
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 1: to divvy up eighty yards, McLaren gets forty half of

1018
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:30,120
Speaker 1: it himself, and that's it. It's tough. In fact, you

1019
00:55:30,160 --> 00:55:31,839
Speaker 1: know what, I'm putting McLaren on the bench. Forget I've

1020
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 1: just talked about bench great Terry McLaurin. Let's go to

1021
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 1: Caroline and Christian McCaffrey is an obvious A. Let's move

1022
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 1: on to the passing game. We've already talked about Cam Newton.

1023
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:44,399
Speaker 1: He was my take a chance to the quarterback. If

1024
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 1: I didn't make this clear though, Matt Rules come out

1025
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:50,919
Speaker 1: and said that P. J. Walker is gonna get play

1026
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 1: in this game too. But I don't think it's gonna

1027
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:56,399
Speaker 1: be translate into enough, especially obviously nothing on the ground.

1028
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, it won't take any rushing work away

1029
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 1: from Cam that I think you need necessarily downgrade Cam Newton,

1030
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:05,440
Speaker 1: so C grade there, and p J. Walker siphons off

1031
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 1: some but hopefully not too much work. D J. Moore

1032
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 1: gets a B. Washington's allowing two one yards per game

1033
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:14,120
Speaker 1: to receivers that is second most, and is allowed multiple

1034
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 1: touchdowns to the position in five of the last seven games.

1035
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 1: Were should have no trouble exploiting Kendall Fuller giving up

1036
00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:23,319
Speaker 1: a passer rating of ninety two and William Jackson, whose

1037
00:56:23,360 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: Pro Football focuses one rated cornerback. So I like DJ

1038
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 1: Moore here. I was tempted to let you throw a

1039
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:35,239
Speaker 1: dart on Robbie Anderson, but I just can't do it.

1040
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:38,840
Speaker 1: That would have been great. Betch Terry McClard start Robby Yaders,

1041
00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:43,359
Speaker 1: it would It would have been tempting, but he's coming

1042
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:45,399
Speaker 1: off a two yard game. In a zero yard game,

1043
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:48,759
Speaker 1: I can't do it. I just it's all. But the

1044
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:52,400
Speaker 1: matchup is clearly bent in Anderson's favor, and I'd like

1045
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:54,880
Speaker 1: to tell you to start him, but I can't do it.

1046
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, and anything to the Cam and Robbie stood

1047
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:01,640
Speaker 1: next to each other for press conference, so that that

1048
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 1: might be. That's maybe that's the case. Maybe that's the case. Hey,

1049
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 1: we're still forming new guillotine leagues at guillotine leagues dot com.

1050
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:13,319
Speaker 1: And of course the format is, you know, no head

1051
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:15,920
Speaker 1: to head. Instead, the low scoring team gets cut every

1052
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 1: week and all the players go to the waiver wire

1053
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 1: where you get to feast on a whole draft's worth

1054
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 1: of players. All you have to do is not finished last,

1055
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:27,680
Speaker 1: and the last team standing wins the whole thing. Still

1056
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 1: eight weeks of goodness left the guillotine season. You've never

1057
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:35,000
Speaker 1: experienced roster building like you have in a guillotine league.

1058
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 1: Guillotine leagues dot Com. When we come back forty nine years,

1059
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 1: take on the Jaguars will tell you what to expect

1060
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:44,439
Speaker 1: from the passing attack of the forty nine years. When

1061
00:57:44,440 --> 00:58:03,160
Speaker 1: we returned Fantasy Football Weekly, Welcome back. Fantasy Football Weekly,

1062
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 1: pulled Charchi and Brian Johnson and Scott Fish with you.

1063
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 1: We continue through the matchups fantasy style letter grades on

1064
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:13,280
Speaker 1: all the players who matter. Forty niners Take on the Jaguars. Scott,

1065
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 1: you already told us about the running game. We love

1066
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson in this opportunity. Although the Jaguars run defense

1067
00:58:19,600 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 1: is better than people think by a sizeable margin, just

1068
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 1: three point seven yards per Gary. But if you tell

1069
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 1: me any one forty niners back is going to get

1070
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 1: the vast majority of the work, I'm interested which they

1071
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 1: run it. So let's sell's talky about the passing game.

1072
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, he was my ticket chance on the quarterback.

1073
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 1: Obviously I like him. Here his receiving options. Deebo Samuel,

1074
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 1: I have a I have a bench grade on. I

1075
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 1: think it's just obvious at this point he's an eight grade.

1076
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna move on to Brandon Aiyuk, who have

1077
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 1: a C grade on. He has nineteen targets in the

1078
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 1: last three weeks. Fifteen wide receivers have topped sixty yards

1079
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:56,800
Speaker 1: and or scored on the Jags this year, fifteen of them.

1080
00:58:56,880 --> 00:59:00,200
Speaker 1: That's that's basically two week so are closer one and

1081
00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 1: a half two a week. Whatever um the target volume

1082
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 1: he's getting, I think he's in for a decent day. Um.

1083
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 1: Most of those days were off of yards because the

1084
00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 1: Jags have only allowed six touchdowns to wide receivers and

1085
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:20,160
Speaker 1: that's four different players, so only four wide receivers have

1086
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 1: scored on the Jags, so you gotta hope for yards. Quietly,

1087
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:27,600
Speaker 1: the Jiants defense is pretty good. It's not it's not terrible.

1088
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 1: It's not terrible. George Kittle, I have an A grade

1089
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 1: on he scored in back to back games for the

1090
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:36,960
Speaker 1: first time in his career, which is crazy. Uh, seventeen

1091
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:40,200
Speaker 1: targets in the last two games. Four tight ends have

1092
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:42,960
Speaker 1: seen six or more targets against the Jags. Their average

1093
00:59:43,120 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 1: that their average stet line five and a half catches

1094
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:49,320
Speaker 1: for seventy five and a half yards. Yeah, and those

1095
00:59:49,480 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 1: those four tight ends that did that, they scored three times.

1096
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:56,360
Speaker 1: A better big day for Kittle over on the Jags side.

1097
00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 1: I have Dan Arnold as the only player in the

1098
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 1: passing game with a grade. Yes, that's it to not

1099
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 1: even James Robinson passing game Trevor Lawrence bench grade because

1100
01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:13,200
Speaker 1: the fours have allowed one multiple passing touchdown games since

1101
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:17,080
Speaker 1: week since Week four, and in those in those six

1102
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 1: games of posing quarterbacks are averaging a hundred and fifty

1103
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:22,920
Speaker 1: nine yards per game. That's terrible. Dred fifty nine from

1104
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:26,920
Speaker 1: and the wide receivers Marvin Jones hasn't top thirty five

1105
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:30,000
Speaker 1: yards in three straight nat hasn't top twenty five yards

1106
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:33,240
Speaker 1: in three straight. Uh. Agnew is the wild card. If

1107
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 1: you need a real dart throw. He's getting five plus targets,

1108
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 1: he gets runs, he can break off big places. He's

1109
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 1: had a great, great game in four of the last five.

1110
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 1: He's the gadget player we thought Lavis was gonna be.

1111
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:48,840
Speaker 1: He's the gadget player that Urban wanted Etn to be. Yeah,

1112
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 1: it's it's a tough matchup. But if you're I have

1113
01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 1: them on the bench. But a dart throw c is

1114
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:56,200
Speaker 1: okay too. Uh. Dan Arnold is the B grade I

1115
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:58,560
Speaker 1: gave here. You gotta buy in if you haven't yet.

1116
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,560
Speaker 1: Sixty plus in four five, four plus catches in those

1117
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:04,360
Speaker 1: same four games. Um sure. Last week all of his

1118
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 1: stats came in one drive. Who cares he got him?

1119
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:09,120
Speaker 1: We don't care for fans. He was tagged with the

1120
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 1: one yard line too, don't leave that out. He should

1121
01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:12,920
Speaker 1: add a touchdown. The forty Niners have a lot of

1122
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:15,440
Speaker 1: tight end touchdown in three of the last four. Dan

1123
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:17,440
Speaker 1: Arnold has no touchdowns on the year, but maybe he

1124
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:19,920
Speaker 1: gets it this week the one yard line and had

1125
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:23,160
Speaker 1: the mini touchdown. James Robinson a B grade this is

1126
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 1: my I don't care that he's got two injuries he's nursing.

1127
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 1: He keeps playing through him, and he gets so much work.

1128
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 1: Three of the four six team plus touchbacks had a

1129
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 1: hundred plus yards and scored. So I think Robinson gets

1130
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:37,640
Speaker 1: that kind of volume and has a decent day. I'll

1131
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:39,959
Speaker 1: give him a beef because of his injuries. And don't

1132
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:42,920
Speaker 1: don't forget Dan Arnold in depth knowledge of the forty

1133
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 1: Niners from his time spend Cardinals last year Cardinals and

1134
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 1: they met twice a year, and yeah, huge advantage for

1135
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:57,560
Speaker 1: my man. Damn. Okay, speaking of Cardinals, Cardinals take on

1136
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 1: the Seahawks. We already know for shoe word that Hopkins

1137
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 1: is out of this one. There's stay say, Kyler Murray

1138
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:05,920
Speaker 1: is a game time decision here, but with the looming

1139
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:09,000
Speaker 1: bye week, I don't think he's gonna go. We'll find out.

1140
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 1: I'm reading he's trending towards playing. This is a pretty

1141
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:16,000
Speaker 1: important game for it more important with last week's loss.

1142
01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give Murray the Sea assuming he plays.

1143
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:20,360
Speaker 1: If he doesn't play, he's on your bench, of course,

1144
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 1: and I would bench um Colton McCoy. Uh if McCoy

1145
01:02:23,280 --> 01:02:25,880
Speaker 1: gets the start because over Seattle's last six games they've

1146
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 1: allowed zero, one, one, one and one. I think I

1147
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 1: left another one off their passing touchdowns. Let's give Seattle

1148
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:37,400
Speaker 1: some credit. They were a disaster in the opening four

1149
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 1: fitch weeks of the season and they've gotten a lot better.

1150
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:42,240
Speaker 1: Not not quite back the legion of boom days, but

1151
01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:44,800
Speaker 1: that secondary is playing pretty well. But I will give

1152
01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 1: Murray the see if he goes, but don't expect too

1153
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 1: much running from Murray. He wasn't doing that before the

1154
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:53,320
Speaker 1: ankle injury. And like you said, DeAndre Hopkins ruled out.

1155
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:56,160
Speaker 1: That's uh. That doesn't bode well for Murray. So let's

1156
01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:58,880
Speaker 1: talk to or talk about the wide receivers that will

1157
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:02,720
Speaker 1: play and give Christian Kirk and A. J. Green both

1158
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 1: a sea. I'm gonna give Kirk the high Sea in

1159
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 1: honor of the re release of Ecto Cooler for the

1160
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:11,439
Speaker 1: the new Ghostbusters movie. So the high Sea for Christian Kirk.

1161
01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:14,000
Speaker 1: Uh tough matchup on paper for both just mentioned. The

1162
01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 1: Seattle secondary has played well. They have surrendered just one

1163
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 1: wide receiver touchdown over their last five games, and over

1164
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 1: their last four games, only one wide receiver has topped

1165
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:26,840
Speaker 1: forty one yards and that was Davante Adams, who had

1166
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:30,640
Speaker 1: seventy eight scoreless yards last week on eleven targets. So

1167
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:33,080
Speaker 1: don't expect too much from Christian Kirk or A J.

1168
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:35,480
Speaker 1: Green in this one, and don't expect too much from

1169
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:37,560
Speaker 1: Zach Ertz either, but I will give him a sea.

1170
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:41,360
Speaker 1: The Seahawks have surrender just three touchdowns all season, but

1171
01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:45,760
Speaker 1: fantasy relevant options like Tyler Conklin, Tyler Higbee, and Dan

1172
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 1: Arnold all had pretty good games against Seattle. Relevant absolutely,

1173
01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:53,600
Speaker 1: Dan are Old, very fantasy relevant. Gotta be from my

1174
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:57,360
Speaker 1: boy Scott Fish. They'll get more relevant than that. James Conner,

1175
01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:01,240
Speaker 1: talk about fantasy relevant, leads all running backs with twelve

1176
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:05,080
Speaker 1: total touchdowns eleven rushing. What are the odds on James

1177
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:07,760
Speaker 1: Connor to lead the NFL and rushing touchdowns prior to

1178
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:12,120
Speaker 1: the like, I'm sure something like that. Man, he's he's

1179
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:13,840
Speaker 1: been a league winner at this point. I'm gonna give

1180
01:04:13,880 --> 01:04:16,040
Speaker 1: him the way. People that listen to the show in

1181
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:19,680
Speaker 1: the preseason, we talked about the red zone and the

1182
01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 1: inside the five usage, and we told you Chase Edmonds

1183
01:04:23,200 --> 01:04:26,680
Speaker 1: never touches the ball, and we told you Kyler Murray

1184
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:32,280
Speaker 1: doesn't run inside, so we identified that early on this show. Absolutely,

1185
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 1: and we expect Connor to touch the ball a lot

1186
01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 1: in this one. The Seahawks are allowing plus combo yards

1187
01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:41,120
Speaker 1: and a touchdown per game to opposing running back, So

1188
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:44,480
Speaker 1: an a for Connor. No starting grade for backup running back,

1189
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:46,600
Speaker 1: you know, Benjamin, but he should be rostered in most

1190
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:48,520
Speaker 1: leagues because if something would happen to Connor. We got

1191
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:51,480
Speaker 1: starting running back on our hands with Chase Edmonds on

1192
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 1: I R and should be for a couple more weeks. Um,

1193
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:56,959
Speaker 1: that's it for the Arizona side over to Seattle DK.

1194
01:04:57,120 --> 01:05:00,600
Speaker 1: Metcalf gonna give him a b uh. Metcalf most of

1195
01:05:00,600 --> 01:05:02,600
Speaker 1: his routes from the left side of the field. Three

1196
01:05:02,640 --> 01:05:05,680
Speaker 1: has a strong matchup against Marco Wilson, who has allowed

1197
01:05:05,720 --> 01:05:09,320
Speaker 1: touchdowns in five different games wide receiver touchdowns. That is,

1198
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:12,320
Speaker 1: in five different games this year. Metcalf did scored his

1199
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:14,680
Speaker 1: latest meeting with the Cardinals last year. I should have

1200
01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:17,040
Speaker 1: mentioned again, I think every matchup has been like a

1201
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 1: divisional matchup. It feels like in the show almost everyone

1202
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:22,960
Speaker 1: this is uh. This is the first meeting between these two.

1203
01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:25,560
Speaker 1: But Metcalf did score his last meeting with the Cardinals,

1204
01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:28,360
Speaker 1: our latest meeting with the Cardinals last year. But in

1205
01:05:28,440 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 1: three career games against Arizona, d case total just six

1206
01:05:32,560 --> 01:05:35,120
Speaker 1: catches and seventy five yards outside of that touchdown. Kind

1207
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:36,640
Speaker 1: of a brutal history, but I will give him a

1208
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:39,600
Speaker 1: B here just to see. For Tyler Lockett, he has

1209
01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:43,480
Speaker 1: a tougher matchup in the slot against Byron Murphy, but

1210
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:46,920
Speaker 1: it's tough to ignore lockett stat lines against Arizona from

1211
01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:49,760
Speaker 1: last season when he had nine catches, sixty seven yards

1212
01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:53,160
Speaker 1: and a touchdown and then fifteen catches, two yards and

1213
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:56,440
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, the one that really propped up his overall

1214
01:05:56,560 --> 01:05:59,640
Speaker 1: numbers from last year. Uh. See for Lockett, Gerald Everett

1215
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 1: is on the bench. There are better tight end options

1216
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:05,080
Speaker 1: out there, and Russell Wilson, uh gonna give him a B.

1217
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:07,480
Speaker 1: Was shut out for the first time in his career

1218
01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:11,000
Speaker 1: last week, but that was somewhat excusable considering he was

1219
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:14,680
Speaker 1: practicing against invisible players for a few weeks, but he

1220
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:16,720
Speaker 1: was coming back from finger surgery. Was a cold weather

1221
01:06:16,760 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 1: game in Green Bay. The three best passers to face

1222
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:22,400
Speaker 1: the Cardinals, who were Kirk Cousins, Matthew Stafford and Aaron

1223
01:06:22,520 --> 01:06:26,680
Speaker 1: Rodgers all managed to toss multiple touchdowns, and Arizona could

1224
01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:30,600
Speaker 1: be without all pro safety Buddha Baker, which would obviously

1225
01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:34,080
Speaker 1: bode well for Wilson. Wilson through for three and two

1226
01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:37,720
Speaker 1: touchdowns in his two games against Arizona last year. Uh.

1227
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:41,000
Speaker 1: And now Chris Carson, UH was maybe gonna make it

1228
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:44,880
Speaker 1: make his return is most certainly not now. Uh season

1229
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 1: ending next surgery for him, wasn't gonna give him a

1230
01:06:47,800 --> 01:06:50,080
Speaker 1: starting grade. Uh if he went, I'm not giving a

1231
01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:52,880
Speaker 1: starting grade to any Seattle running back anyway. Even with

1232
01:06:52,920 --> 01:06:56,920
Speaker 1: Carson out, Arizona has allowed the eighth fewest fantasy points

1233
01:06:57,160 --> 01:07:00,880
Speaker 1: to running backs. Pete Carroll better let Russ cook in

1234
01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:04,680
Speaker 1: this one, because if not, let's hope Russ's finger responds

1235
01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:07,160
Speaker 1: a little better than last Well, he was rehabbing for

1236
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:10,760
Speaker 1: nineteen hours a day, see now and he got shut out?

1237
01:07:11,280 --> 01:07:14,080
Speaker 1: What if he had rehabbed for twenty hours a day.

1238
01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 1: Russell Alex cons has become like the game long lead

1239
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:20,120
Speaker 1: right hard Give him ten Carreys, He'll get your forty

1240
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 1: something yards given it feels that way, doesn't it. I

1241
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:26,760
Speaker 1: like I would have given Collins a C grade just

1242
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:29,000
Speaker 1: based on the prospects of a rushing touchdown, but that's me.

1243
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:32,840
Speaker 1: Cowboys take on the Chiefs, and let's mention Marie Cooper's

1244
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:35,480
Speaker 1: out for this game. He was a late week addition

1245
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:37,960
Speaker 1: to the COVID list, so he's out. But I still

1246
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:40,560
Speaker 1: like Dak Prescott with an A grade along with Ceedee

1247
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:42,640
Speaker 1: Lamb and Zeke is obviously in A grade as well.

1248
01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:44,600
Speaker 1: But let me just mention the return of left tackle

1249
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 1: Tyrone Smith helps everybody, so that's all good news there.

1250
01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 1: Chiefs secondary has gotten a lot better. First, from comparing

1251
01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:55,520
Speaker 1: the first five games the year to the second five

1252
01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 1: games the year, they're allowing ninety fewer passing yards and

1253
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:02,919
Speaker 1: almost half as many touchdowns, so this has turned into

1254
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:05,120
Speaker 1: a trickier matchup. But they've also seen a lot of

1255
01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:08,600
Speaker 1: wobbly quarterbacks in that span, so I still I still

1256
01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:11,080
Speaker 1: like Prescott in a level here, but it's not as

1257
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:13,480
Speaker 1: strong and a as it was when Cooper was playing.

1258
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:17,120
Speaker 1: And filling in for Cooper will likely be Cedric Wilson,

1259
01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:18,920
Speaker 1: and he is a dart throw if you want to

1260
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:21,120
Speaker 1: give him a try, and he had to fill in

1261
01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:24,000
Speaker 1: for Michael Gallup for long stretches of the season. Then

1262
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:25,760
Speaker 1: he was getting you two and three catches a game,

1263
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:27,160
Speaker 1: he found the end zone once in a while, and

1264
01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:31,760
Speaker 1: favorable matchups. You could prespect Cooper. Cooper is gonna miss

1265
01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:34,960
Speaker 1: Thursday's game against the Chiefs too, and that's a that's

1266
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 1: a good point to um. Michael Gallup bumps up. He

1267
01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:39,720
Speaker 1: was a C grade. I bumped him up to a

1268
01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:42,559
Speaker 1: B grade here. In his two games of work this year,

1269
01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 1: he's print run predominantly from the left side of the field,

1270
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:48,559
Speaker 1: where he sees chart various Ward, whose play is improved

1271
01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:50,800
Speaker 1: enough that it makes it so that it's not a

1272
01:08:50,840 --> 01:08:53,519
Speaker 1: slam dunk for Gallop. But I'm like Gallop pretty good,

1273
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:55,559
Speaker 1: and they threw to him plenty last week in his

1274
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:58,320
Speaker 1: first game back. So we'll give a B grade to

1275
01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:01,799
Speaker 1: Gallop here. Dalton Shall gets a little bit more um

1276
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:05,599
Speaker 1: likable as well. With Amari Cooper out. Sheltz quiet over

1277
01:09:05,600 --> 01:09:08,080
Speaker 1: the last three weeks, producing two of his lowest yardage

1278
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:11,880
Speaker 1: outputs of the season, but should bounce back against Kansas City.

1279
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:15,280
Speaker 1: Chiefs have surrendered the fifth most yards the third most

1280
01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:19,360
Speaker 1: touchdowns to tight ends. Let's go over to the chief

1281
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:22,120
Speaker 1: side of the ball. We're back to the point where

1282
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:24,080
Speaker 1: now all I have to do is just say Mahomes, Hill,

1283
01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:29,120
Speaker 1: Kelsey obvious. As I've been mailing in the chiefs conversations

1284
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:32,000
Speaker 1: most of the year, the last couple of weeks, I've

1285
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:35,519
Speaker 1: had to explain in more detail why Mahomes was a

1286
01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:38,919
Speaker 1: wobbly A or Mahomes was a B, or why Kelsey

1287
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:40,600
Speaker 1: was a B instead of an A. But you know,

1288
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:42,920
Speaker 1: after last week, I think they're all right back here

1289
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:45,519
Speaker 1: to obvious A starts. Let me mention this about the

1290
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 1: Cowboys secondary for all to talk about Tavon Austin, and

1291
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:50,000
Speaker 1: we bring this up a lot in the show. But

1292
01:09:51,200 --> 01:09:53,960
Speaker 1: and Austin's eight interceptions, it's awesome, but he's giving up

1293
01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:57,160
Speaker 1: the second most yards of any cornerback, and opposite him,

1294
01:09:57,200 --> 01:09:59,879
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown's giving up the fourth most yards of any cornerback.

1295
01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:03,599
Speaker 1: So Mahomes, Hill, Kelsey all obvious a's, and they remained

1296
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:07,920
Speaker 1: highly startable. Darryl Williams as we're probable starting running back

1297
01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:11,559
Speaker 1: technically Clyde Edwards Hilayers a game time decision, but after

1298
01:10:11,600 --> 01:10:14,680
Speaker 1: getting very light use during the week in practice, I

1299
01:10:14,720 --> 01:10:16,679
Speaker 1: don't think he's gonna go, And even if he does,

1300
01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:18,800
Speaker 1: I don't think he gets a big workload here. So

1301
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:21,599
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep Clyde Edwards layer on the bench, Darryl

1302
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:27,360
Speaker 1: Williams with the C grade. Besides struggling against really run

1303
01:10:27,400 --> 01:10:29,840
Speaker 1: heavy offenses in Denver and New England, Dallas has been

1304
01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:32,920
Speaker 1: very good against runners in all their other games. They're

1305
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:36,080
Speaker 1: giving up just sixty two rushing yards and a third

1306
01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:38,679
Speaker 1: of a touchdown per game on the ground. That would

1307
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:41,479
Speaker 1: be third fewest and the fewest over the full season.

1308
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:44,600
Speaker 1: So just to see grade on Darryl Williams here and

1309
01:10:44,680 --> 01:10:48,400
Speaker 1: all the other wide receivers, the random dart throw you

1310
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:51,719
Speaker 1: can attempt on Josh Gordon, me, Coole Hardman, DeMarcus Robinson,

1311
01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:54,960
Speaker 1: Byron Pringle. No way has Gordon even been playing. I

1312
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:57,240
Speaker 1: think he's had I think he's got two catches as

1313
01:10:57,240 --> 01:11:02,120
Speaker 1: a chief. That's it for Gordon, Well Pringles the guy,

1314
01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:07,000
Speaker 1: right guy. But the other guy, Hartman is the most

1315
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:09,800
Speaker 1: active out of that group, I guess. But what you know,

1316
01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:12,040
Speaker 1: for everybody always tries to play any kind of guessing

1317
01:11:12,040 --> 01:11:15,720
Speaker 1: game with those guys. Dah, forget about it. Forget about it.

1318
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:19,160
Speaker 1: When we come back, we're gonna jump into the time

1319
01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:24,559
Speaker 1: machine as we talk through some premature speculation players that

1320
01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:27,200
Speaker 1: you will want to pick up this week that everybody

1321
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:28,880
Speaker 1: else will be trying to pick up next week when

1322
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:46,799
Speaker 1: we return to Fantasy Football Weekly. Fast segment. Fantasy Football

1323
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:50,160
Speaker 1: Weekly Paul Charging, Scott Fish, and Brian Johnson with you.

1324
01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:54,200
Speaker 1: This is a segment we like to call premature speculation.

1325
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:57,800
Speaker 1: We give you three players you want to pick up

1326
01:11:57,880 --> 01:11:59,720
Speaker 1: this week that other people will be trying to pick

1327
01:11:59,800 --> 01:12:04,479
Speaker 1: up next week, but they're already on your roster. Scott Fish, Yeah,

1328
01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:07,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Lativus Murray, who somehow has only

1329
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:13,120
Speaker 1: rostered in of leagues. I think people just starting running

1330
01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:15,280
Speaker 1: back on a run ahead of offense. He was starting

1331
01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:18,760
Speaker 1: before he got injured. They just released Levian Bell. They're

1332
01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:22,360
Speaker 1: not giving Tyson Williams any work. It's DeVonta Freeman had

1333
01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:24,240
Speaker 1: took the role while he was out, but they seemed

1334
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:26,640
Speaker 1: to Latvia's look the best and they gave him the

1335
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:29,320
Speaker 1: most work before he went out. He might be coming

1336
01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:32,240
Speaker 1: back this week, but you want to get him now

1337
01:12:32,320 --> 01:12:37,240
Speaker 1: before people realize. All right, your premature speculation player, Brian,

1338
01:12:37,520 --> 01:12:40,040
Speaker 1: I wanna go with the Giants Sterling Shepherd, who's only

1339
01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:44,280
Speaker 1: rostered in Yahoo leagues right now. Shepherd was a top

1340
01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:46,599
Speaker 1: twenty wide receiver to start the season has been been

1341
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:49,759
Speaker 1: dinged up. He might make his return this week against

1342
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:52,639
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. We'll talk about that game in a little bit,

1343
01:12:52,720 --> 01:12:56,040
Speaker 1: but he's the best wide receiver on the Giants went

1344
01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:59,280
Speaker 1: healthy and Daniel Jones looked looked his way early and

1345
01:12:59,320 --> 01:13:01,599
Speaker 1: often early in the early in the year, he had

1346
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:04,920
Speaker 1: target totals of nine, ten, fourteen, and it was it

1347
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:07,840
Speaker 1: was like three pretty much full games and uh, the

1348
01:13:07,880 --> 01:13:11,639
Speaker 1: Giants usually playing from behind. I know se Kwan Barkley's

1349
01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:14,000
Speaker 1: coming back, but Shepard could be a big time helper,

1350
01:13:14,040 --> 01:13:16,639
Speaker 1: and he's available, and like I said, almost seventy percent

1351
01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:18,840
Speaker 1: of leagues right now, he's gonna be my Antonio Brown

1352
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:20,800
Speaker 1: pivot this week. There you go, There you go. It

1353
01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:26,720
Speaker 1: does make sense. Yeah, for what possible reason in the

1354
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:30,960
Speaker 1: tight end apocalypse that we are living in is Evan

1355
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:37,799
Speaker 1: Ingram only rostered in twenty percent of fantasy leagues. That's absurd.

1356
01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:41,719
Speaker 1: He's scored in back to back games. And here's your clincher.

1357
01:13:42,640 --> 01:13:46,000
Speaker 1: Rest of the way schedule is second easiest for the

1358
01:13:46,040 --> 01:13:49,559
Speaker 1: Giants for tight ends. The only stopper he's got left

1359
01:13:49,600 --> 01:13:54,760
Speaker 1: to Chicago and deeply plus matchups against Philadelphia the Chargers

1360
01:13:55,080 --> 01:13:58,919
Speaker 1: Philadelphia again, along with a bunch of just generally positive

1361
01:13:58,960 --> 01:14:03,920
Speaker 1: matchups Damn Babay this week Miami, Dallas, Washington. There's a

1362
01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:08,280
Speaker 1: lot of opportunities for Evan Ingram. The Eagles isn't just

1363
01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:14,120
Speaker 1: a good matchup. It's most yards, touchdowns and receptions to

1364
01:14:14,200 --> 01:14:17,640
Speaker 1: time and twice and normally like you get docked for

1365
01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:21,000
Speaker 1: playing Travis Kelsey, which the Eagles did. Kelsey had four catches,

1366
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:24,000
Speaker 1: twenty three yards, no touchdowns, and they're still putting or

1367
01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:29,120
Speaker 1: giving up insane numbers in that game. So, you know,

1368
01:14:29,200 --> 01:14:31,920
Speaker 1: I think this is a it's a go get Evan Ingram.

1369
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:35,879
Speaker 1: Let's let's go game on. Our last couple of matchups

1370
01:14:36,000 --> 01:14:39,600
Speaker 1: begin with the Steelers taking on the Chargers. Scott. We

1371
01:14:39,960 --> 01:14:42,960
Speaker 1: still at this stage, as Lesa's we're talking right now,

1372
01:14:43,000 --> 01:14:44,760
Speaker 1: we don't know the starting quarterback is gonna be. We

1373
01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:49,680
Speaker 1: don't doesn't matter at this stage. Yeah, I don't think

1374
01:14:49,720 --> 01:14:53,160
Speaker 1: it matters. They're preparing for Big Ben too to be

1375
01:14:53,280 --> 01:14:55,960
Speaker 1: the starter, but they have not at this moment, they

1376
01:14:55,960 --> 01:14:59,120
Speaker 1: have not activated him. That could happen as latest you know,

1377
01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:03,479
Speaker 1: tomorrow or what ever. Uh I have either one on

1378
01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:07,360
Speaker 1: the bench. It doesn't matter. I'm not surprised. The Chargers

1379
01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:10,519
Speaker 1: allow the fuse completion second fewest attempts, third fewest yards,

1380
01:15:10,560 --> 01:15:14,679
Speaker 1: and third fewest touchdowns, mostly because they give up everything

1381
01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:17,479
Speaker 1: to running backs. That's what happens. So I have Nase

1382
01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:21,000
Speaker 1: Harris with an A grade and obvious A grade charges

1383
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:23,920
Speaker 1: run of the week are Is he your fantasy yard

1384
01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:27,040
Speaker 1: park right here? I let's do it, fantasy yard Vark.

1385
01:15:27,280 --> 01:15:31,840
Speaker 1: Chargers have a bottom six Rundy in almost every single category,

1386
01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:35,639
Speaker 1: including allowing the most rushing yards and second most rushing tds.

1387
01:15:36,560 --> 01:15:39,040
Speaker 1: A grade on Harris. Let's go back to the passing game.

1388
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:41,479
Speaker 1: Though we're gonna bounce around a little. I'm still giving

1389
01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:44,120
Speaker 1: Deonte Johnson a B grade. I can't help it. If

1390
01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:46,519
Speaker 1: Big Ben's in, Big Ben targets him all the time,

1391
01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:51,559
Speaker 1: and exactly Mason Rudolph. Mason Rodolph did too. I like

1392
01:15:51,640 --> 01:15:54,000
Speaker 1: him more with Ben, obviously, but he's a lock for

1393
01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:57,000
Speaker 1: five to nine catches no matter who's in. And every

1394
01:15:57,040 --> 01:15:59,920
Speaker 1: receiver with five plus catches against the Chargers had sixty

1395
01:16:00,040 --> 01:16:03,080
Speaker 1: five plus yards and or scored um. The top target

1396
01:16:03,240 --> 01:16:05,439
Speaker 1: against Chargers has gone over a hundred yards two weeks

1397
01:16:05,479 --> 01:16:07,760
Speaker 1: in a row. It's I believe DeVonta Smith and Justin

1398
01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:13,719
Speaker 1: Jefferson if I'm remembering correctly, UM, Chase Claypool, Raybary McCloud.

1399
01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:16,479
Speaker 1: I'm not doing either of them. Chase Claypool, I don't

1400
01:16:16,520 --> 01:16:18,559
Speaker 1: trust him with his toe injury, I don't. I don't

1401
01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:22,320
Speaker 1: trust him uh in a tough matchup. Yeah, and and

1402
01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:26,320
Speaker 1: the second receiver usually does very little against the Chargers. Um.

1403
01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:30,840
Speaker 1: They've only allowed four wide receiver touchdowns all year. That's so,

1404
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:32,960
Speaker 1: I don't even know if Deanta is gonna score, but

1405
01:16:32,960 --> 01:16:36,439
Speaker 1: he should get the targets and yards. Pat Firemouth though

1406
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:40,000
Speaker 1: B Grade twenty nine targets in the last four weeks,

1407
01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:43,720
Speaker 1: resulting in four plus catches in all four thirty to

1408
01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:49,400
Speaker 1: sixty yards, and he scored thrice. Yes, Big Ben really

1409
01:16:49,400 --> 01:16:51,000
Speaker 1: targets him in the red zone. But guess what Mason

1410
01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:53,519
Speaker 1: Rudolph did two, three, three times last week. He's got

1411
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:56,519
Speaker 1: seven red zone targets in the last three weeks. If

1412
01:16:56,560 --> 01:16:58,240
Speaker 1: they're going to use him down there, I'm going to

1413
01:16:58,320 --> 01:17:02,160
Speaker 1: give him a b uh uh. Justin Herbert B Grade.

1414
01:17:02,400 --> 01:17:04,479
Speaker 1: The Steelers d has been really stout in their last

1415
01:17:04,520 --> 01:17:07,160
Speaker 1: five games, barely allowing over two hundred yards and score

1416
01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:16,040
Speaker 1: two checking notes here, let's two Teddy Gino Baker Fields

1417
01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:20,439
Speaker 1: and golf. Before that, they got torched for two four

1418
01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:23,080
Speaker 1: yards per game and two point to five touchdowns per

1419
01:17:23,080 --> 01:17:27,679
Speaker 1: game to Alan Carr, Burrow Rogers. Those types. I put Herbert,

1420
01:17:30,360 --> 01:17:33,080
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be missing t J. Watt. They're gonna

1421
01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:36,160
Speaker 1: be missing Joe Hayden. Uh make a fit. Patrick's probably

1422
01:17:36,160 --> 01:17:37,960
Speaker 1: not going to be activated in time. He's on the

1423
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:40,920
Speaker 1: COVID list. He'll probably He's probably gonna be out. I

1424
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:43,760
Speaker 1: have no problem giving Herbert a B. I might even

1425
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:46,679
Speaker 1: I'm teetering on an A honestly, with all those players out.

1426
01:17:47,120 --> 01:17:49,599
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen's an obvious A for me. Eleven plus targets

1427
01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:52,200
Speaker 1: in three straight, five plus and catches and all of

1428
01:17:52,240 --> 01:17:54,960
Speaker 1: them in all but one game this year, and seventy

1429
01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:57,000
Speaker 1: five plus yards and four of his last. He's back.

1430
01:17:57,040 --> 01:17:59,679
Speaker 1: He's back with Mike. When Mike Williams went down, Keenan

1431
01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:03,479
Speaker 1: Allen came back. Mike Williams c grade. If Hayden and

1432
01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:08,000
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick don't go, I'm sorry, I know it's it's Mike's.

1433
01:18:08,160 --> 01:18:11,599
Speaker 1: Here's the problem. We've get We give se grades two

1434
01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:14,599
Speaker 1: guys that are gonna get you yards a lot on this.

1435
01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:17,559
Speaker 1: We think three four catches forty three four catches for

1436
01:18:17,600 --> 01:18:19,599
Speaker 1: sixty yards. We will give him a C grade. Maybe

1437
01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:22,360
Speaker 1: they Mike Williams has a better shot of blowing up

1438
01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:24,960
Speaker 1: than most of those guys. His ceiling is so much higher,

1439
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:28,479
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna give him the C grade on. He's

1440
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:30,760
Speaker 1: that guy. Plus he has a chance to be much

1441
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:33,920
Speaker 1: with the battered secondary. I'm listening to that. Austin Ekeler

1442
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:36,559
Speaker 1: obviously a grade. The only downside is the Steelers don't

1443
01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:38,799
Speaker 1: give up a lot of receiving work. But they've faced

1444
01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:42,240
Speaker 1: like two to three good past they faced Swift, Aaron Jones,

1445
01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:45,400
Speaker 1: maybe Kenyan Drake. They haven't faced receiving backs, so that's

1446
01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:47,360
Speaker 1: why they haven't given up a lot. A grade on

1447
01:18:47,400 --> 01:18:52,639
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler. All right, Giants take on the Bucks on

1448
01:18:52,920 --> 01:18:56,679
Speaker 1: Monday night, Brian, this is a Giant's running game that's

1449
01:18:56,720 --> 01:18:59,559
Speaker 1: expected to get Sae Kwon Barkley back. What do you

1450
01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:02,439
Speaker 1: think about him in his first game back against a

1451
01:19:02,680 --> 01:19:06,800
Speaker 1: usually tough Bucks defense that was a bit yielding last week?

1452
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:09,320
Speaker 1: They were a bit yieldly in terms of touchdowns. Antony

1453
01:19:09,320 --> 01:19:11,280
Speaker 1: Gibson at the two, but he's still only average two

1454
01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:14,240
Speaker 1: points six yards for carry. You got the like sixty

1455
01:19:14,280 --> 01:19:18,000
Speaker 1: five yards on twenty carries. A little flukey there. Tampa

1456
01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:21,160
Speaker 1: Bay could be without defensive line invite eve A. That

1457
01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:23,960
Speaker 1: would certainly bode well for Barkley either way. I'm giving

1458
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:26,519
Speaker 1: Barkley a c uh if he comes back. But he

1459
01:19:26,640 --> 01:19:30,400
Speaker 1: is trending in the right direction. But as you're alluding to,

1460
01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:33,040
Speaker 1: a brutal match up on the ground, but the Bucks

1461
01:19:33,040 --> 01:19:35,960
Speaker 1: have yielded eight plus targets per game to running backs.

1462
01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:39,200
Speaker 1: We all know Barkley is a very able catcher, so

1463
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:42,600
Speaker 1: a c floor he does have be maybe even a

1464
01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:45,439
Speaker 1: upside in this one. But I play it cautious, um,

1465
01:19:45,479 --> 01:19:47,800
Speaker 1: but I think you can trust that he will play.

1466
01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:49,400
Speaker 1: You know. It's like, as you said, it's a Monday

1467
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:52,080
Speaker 1: night game, so a little dicey. But if if he's

1468
01:19:52,160 --> 01:19:53,680
Speaker 1: a scratch, I don't know if you can be a

1469
01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:55,680
Speaker 1: scratch if you haven't come back from injury yet, you

1470
01:19:55,720 --> 01:19:59,240
Speaker 1: probably can. They're being very, very cag with his status,

1471
01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:01,479
Speaker 1: but I think it's a lot of showmanship. There was

1472
01:20:01,520 --> 01:20:03,760
Speaker 1: talk that, you know, if they needed him last week

1473
01:20:03,880 --> 01:20:06,160
Speaker 1: it was a bye week, they could have started him potentially.

1474
01:20:06,400 --> 01:20:08,160
Speaker 1: I think Barkley goes in this game, and I think

1475
01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:11,479
Speaker 1: he's closer. People know the Giants don't need Barkley, they

1476
01:20:11,479 --> 01:20:14,000
Speaker 1: need a new g think. But anyway, I don't even

1477
01:20:14,040 --> 01:20:17,160
Speaker 1: I don't even have a doubt. They've mentioned using two backs.

1478
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:20,360
Speaker 1: They mentioned that week one when Booker got four carries. Yeah,

1479
01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:22,760
Speaker 1: you know, I think I think it's anymore. We're not

1480
01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:24,519
Speaker 1: going to talk about the the other backs though, but

1481
01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:28,240
Speaker 1: good point there. Um, it's not a brutal matchup for

1482
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:32,320
Speaker 1: the wide receivers, but what a mess at the positions

1483
01:20:32,320 --> 01:20:35,360
Speaker 1: for the Giants. We'll start with Kenny Golladay. I'll give

1484
01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:38,360
Speaker 1: him a c. I guess I had no idea that

1485
01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:41,320
Speaker 1: Golladay came back in week nine. Did Yeah, he did.

1486
01:20:41,439 --> 01:20:43,160
Speaker 1: The Giants are coming off there by they didn't play

1487
01:20:43,200 --> 01:20:45,559
Speaker 1: in week ten, but Golly didn't make his return in

1488
01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:48,519
Speaker 1: week nine. The Bucks are allowing more than one touchdown

1489
01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:50,920
Speaker 1: per game to wide receivers. Richard Sherman just went on

1490
01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:53,640
Speaker 1: I R I don't know if that's addition by subtraction.

1491
01:20:53,680 --> 01:20:55,800
Speaker 1: It most likely it wasn't playing much for the last

1492
01:20:56,040 --> 01:20:58,479
Speaker 1: month or so. Anyway, it's a it's a banged up

1493
01:20:58,520 --> 01:21:02,080
Speaker 1: secondary for Tampa Bay. But is it Sean Murphy Bunting

1494
01:21:02,120 --> 01:21:05,120
Speaker 1: probably comes back for this game. They've got both their

1495
01:21:05,160 --> 01:21:08,800
Speaker 1: starting outside corners. I think this. I think this secondary's

1496
01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:12,200
Speaker 1: rounding into form. Okay, Uh, just my way taking. So

1497
01:21:12,439 --> 01:21:14,800
Speaker 1: I will still give Golliday the sea. We'll talk about

1498
01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:16,719
Speaker 1: the other receivers in a minute. Just because he's healthy

1499
01:21:16,800 --> 01:21:19,840
Speaker 1: and Gettleman, Dave Gettleman, that is probably gonna want to

1500
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:22,680
Speaker 1: justify this horrific signing in primetime. I guess, so A

1501
01:21:22,760 --> 01:21:25,360
Speaker 1: see for Golladay as we expect, or at least I

1502
01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:27,760
Speaker 1: expect the Giants to be playing and catch up mode

1503
01:21:27,760 --> 01:21:31,120
Speaker 1: in this one. Um Sterling Shepherd we talked about in

1504
01:21:31,320 --> 01:21:35,160
Speaker 1: uh premature speculation might make his return from a quad injury.

1505
01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:38,639
Speaker 1: He did practice on Friday, so he's leaning towards playing.

1506
01:21:38,680 --> 01:21:41,120
Speaker 1: I still would pick him up right now either way,

1507
01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:42,720
Speaker 1: even if he doesn't play in this game. But if

1508
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:45,200
Speaker 1: he does play, he's still on the bench for me.

1509
01:21:45,280 --> 01:21:48,160
Speaker 1: You can't trust him to play going into Monday night.

1510
01:21:48,200 --> 01:21:50,760
Speaker 1: You certainly can't trust him to finish the game coming

1511
01:21:50,800 --> 01:21:54,080
Speaker 1: off a quad injury. So a bench great for Sterling Shepherd.

1512
01:21:54,600 --> 01:21:57,960
Speaker 1: Uh can Darius Tony there's too many wide receivers to

1513
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:01,759
Speaker 1: talk about. On the Giants, they're also yogurt uh Tony.

1514
01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:05,400
Speaker 1: Tony can be special, but they've hardly targeted him since

1515
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:08,000
Speaker 1: he's come back. He hasn't been special since popping off

1516
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:11,040
Speaker 1: in Week five when he went ham against the Cowboys

1517
01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:14,280
Speaker 1: no other receivers were healthy, and since then he's been

1518
01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:17,400
Speaker 1: injured and when he has played, he's totaled eight catches

1519
01:22:17,479 --> 01:22:22,519
Speaker 1: for sevent scoreless yards across three games. He's on the bench. Um,

1520
01:22:23,120 --> 01:22:25,679
Speaker 1: we could talk about Darius Slayton, but I don't really

1521
01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:28,880
Speaker 1: want to. Do you guys want to talk about Darius Slayton. Nope, Okay,

1522
01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:31,439
Speaker 1: he's on the bench too. We will talk about Evan

1523
01:22:31,520 --> 01:22:35,479
Speaker 1: Engram again, who charged had as his premature speculation player.

1524
01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:37,400
Speaker 1: I like that call, and I do like him enough

1525
01:22:37,439 --> 01:22:39,439
Speaker 1: in this game to give him a see. The Bucks

1526
01:22:39,439 --> 01:22:41,840
Speaker 1: are allowing six and a half catches per game to

1527
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:45,040
Speaker 1: opposing tight ends. Ingram could very well lead the team

1528
01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:47,240
Speaker 1: in targets if it's not se Kwon Barkley in this one.

1529
01:22:47,560 --> 01:22:50,400
Speaker 1: And lastly, we'll go to Daniel Jones. Got him on

1530
01:22:50,439 --> 01:22:53,639
Speaker 1: the bench. UM. Over their last six games, Tampa Bay

1531
01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:56,800
Speaker 1: is allowing less than two passing touchdowns per game. Uh,

1532
01:22:56,840 --> 01:23:00,320
Speaker 1: the competition at quarterback hasn't been great. We're talking Taylor High, Ninky,

1533
01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:06,600
Speaker 1: Trevor Simeons, Slash, Jamis Winston, justin Fields, Jalen Hurts, Jacoby Brissette,

1534
01:23:07,080 --> 01:23:09,800
Speaker 1: Mac Jones. How did the defending Super Bowl chance kept

1535
01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:14,840
Speaker 1: this kind of a primrose path of Uh, pretty pathetic competition.

1536
01:23:14,880 --> 01:23:19,200
Speaker 1: But guess what, Daniel Jones pretty pretty So he's on

1537
01:23:19,240 --> 01:23:21,840
Speaker 1: the bench. Jalen Hurts did rush for two touchdowns against

1538
01:23:21,880 --> 01:23:25,920
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay's that's the angle for Jon But he's really

1539
01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:29,639
Speaker 1: only viable as a in super flex two quarterback formats,

1540
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:32,479
Speaker 1: and he's a deep breach even even in those kinds

1541
01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:34,519
Speaker 1: of kinds of leagues. He's on the bench. All right,

1542
01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:37,040
Speaker 1: Enough about the Giants. Over to the buck side. I

1543
01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:40,000
Speaker 1: wanna give Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, both of the

1544
01:23:40,160 --> 01:23:42,639
Speaker 1: Godwin on the injury report again he was last week

1545
01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:45,679
Speaker 1: with the foot injury. I expect him to play. Evans

1546
01:23:45,760 --> 01:23:48,439
Speaker 1: likely will be shadowed by James Bradberry, who is a

1547
01:23:48,560 --> 01:23:51,120
Speaker 1: very good cornerback, but he doesn't cover guys like Mike

1548
01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:54,120
Speaker 1: Evans every week, who has scored seven times over his

1549
01:23:54,240 --> 01:23:58,519
Speaker 1: last five games. Chris Godwin his second in red zone targets,

1550
01:23:58,560 --> 01:24:01,920
Speaker 1: behind only Cooper Cup. The Giants have surrendered seven wide

1551
01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:05,479
Speaker 1: receiver touchdowns over the last five so be for both

1552
01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:10,320
Speaker 1: Evans and Godwin. Antonio Brown pretty much hasn't been ruled out,

1553
01:24:10,320 --> 01:24:12,080
Speaker 1: but most likely not going to play this week with

1554
01:24:12,080 --> 01:24:14,879
Speaker 1: the ankle injury. Has not practiced all week. This personal

1555
01:24:14,960 --> 01:24:18,160
Speaker 1: chef going to play. We're not gonna get into any

1556
01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:20,400
Speaker 1: of that stuff. At least I don't want to. I've

1557
01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:23,400
Speaker 1: got I got enough flak about things I say. How

1558
01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:26,360
Speaker 1: about just pay your help exactly? Don't just pay your help?

1559
01:24:26,760 --> 01:24:31,519
Speaker 1: That's all. Yeah, Antonio Brown, I have a defeated joke,

1560
01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:36,599
Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna go there. Uh. Rob Gronkowski though,

1561
01:24:36,720 --> 01:24:38,600
Speaker 1: didn't see him like he was gonna play earlier in

1562
01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:41,160
Speaker 1: the week, but he's practicing full on Thursday and Friday,

1563
01:24:41,200 --> 01:24:42,960
Speaker 1: looking like he will be a go on Monday night.

1564
01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:45,280
Speaker 1: I'll give him a see. If he does play, he'll

1565
01:24:45,320 --> 01:24:47,800
Speaker 1: have a neutral matchup against the Giants who have surrendered,

1566
01:24:48,479 --> 01:24:51,200
Speaker 1: who haven't surrendered a tight end touchdown since Week four,

1567
01:24:51,280 --> 01:24:54,080
Speaker 1: but they are allowing five catches and fifty yards per

1568
01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:57,839
Speaker 1: game to the position, So see for gronk Tom Brady

1569
01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:00,400
Speaker 1: gonna give him a beat. It's not the easiest matchup,

1570
01:25:00,439 --> 01:25:02,200
Speaker 1: believe it or not. The Giants have allowed just two

1571
01:25:02,200 --> 01:25:04,960
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns over their last three games, and that's with

1572
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:08,200
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes and Derek Carr in the mix during that span.

1573
01:25:08,600 --> 01:25:11,439
Speaker 1: The Giants have good cornerbacks and James Bradbury to Dorry Jackson.

1574
01:25:11,479 --> 01:25:13,880
Speaker 1: So not a smash spot for Brady, but he's pretty

1575
01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:16,560
Speaker 1: tough to bench, borderline impossible to bench really, so a

1576
01:25:16,640 --> 01:25:19,920
Speaker 1: B for him. And lastly for Tampa Bay, Leonard Fournette

1577
01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:22,400
Speaker 1: going to give him a B. New York is top

1578
01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:25,200
Speaker 1: ten and the most touches and yards allowed to backs,

1579
01:25:25,200 --> 01:25:27,759
Speaker 1: and this should be a positive game script for Lenny,

1580
01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:31,360
Speaker 1: who still dominated the backfield touches in a shockingly negative

1581
01:25:31,360 --> 01:25:35,479
Speaker 1: game script against Washington last week. Basically the bell cow

1582
01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:41,000
Speaker 1: for the Bucks. So safe B for for net. We've

1583
01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:42,360
Speaker 1: got a couple of minutes here at the end of

1584
01:25:42,360 --> 01:25:44,680
Speaker 1: the show, guys, let's talk about some of the developments

1585
01:25:44,680 --> 01:25:49,400
Speaker 1: from Thursday night. Patriots backfield almost a dead even snap

1586
01:25:49,439 --> 01:25:54,200
Speaker 1: count for Damien Harris and Romandra Stevenson. Scott, do you

1587
01:25:54,280 --> 01:25:56,799
Speaker 1: believe that this is going to be a roughly even

1588
01:25:56,880 --> 01:26:04,120
Speaker 1: split going forward. That's tough. So Damian Harris got in

1589
01:26:04,160 --> 01:26:06,599
Speaker 1: a limited practice and then one full practice right before

1590
01:26:06,640 --> 01:26:09,240
Speaker 1: that game, Like that's that's all he got in for

1591
01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:11,479
Speaker 1: a workload for a game plan for that game. I

1592
01:26:11,479 --> 01:26:13,400
Speaker 1: mean it's only a practice and a half more than

1593
01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:16,200
Speaker 1: the other players. But week before that, Romandri Stevenson got

1594
01:26:16,479 --> 01:26:20,680
Speaker 1: zero and then came and dominated the snap count. What

1595
01:26:21,040 --> 01:26:23,479
Speaker 1: I'm saying is maybe that's why Harris was a little

1596
01:26:23,479 --> 01:26:25,960
Speaker 1: bit more limited, is he he wasn't prepped for that

1597
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:29,439
Speaker 1: game plan. But that's a good point. Um, I think

1598
01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:31,120
Speaker 1: it's going to be a pretty decent split, and it

1599
01:26:31,160 --> 01:26:32,920
Speaker 1: puts us in a position where we don't know who

1600
01:26:32,960 --> 01:26:36,880
Speaker 1: to start for any of the Patriots going forward because

1601
01:26:37,120 --> 01:26:40,080
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry is so touchdown dependent, um, all the wide

1602
01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:42,800
Speaker 1: receivers or mishmash and if this is a split now,

1603
01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:45,840
Speaker 1: it's just confusing his Heck, I would bank I would

1604
01:26:45,920 --> 01:26:49,240
Speaker 1: still bank on Harris, But man, Romandre Stevenson looks. It

1605
01:26:49,280 --> 01:26:51,920
Speaker 1: looks good, doesn't he looks? The thing about Stevenson why

1606
01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:54,599
Speaker 1: I think he's not going away exactly. He's the better

1607
01:26:54,640 --> 01:26:57,160
Speaker 1: pass catcher of the two. They're throwing to him. You know,

1608
01:26:57,200 --> 01:27:00,320
Speaker 1: coming out of college, we didn't necessarily expect Steve Ininsen

1609
01:27:00,760 --> 01:27:03,439
Speaker 1: to be a pass catcher, and if James White were healthy,

1610
01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:06,960
Speaker 1: he probably wouldn't be. But there they've decided they're going

1611
01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:08,759
Speaker 1: to throw to him. And if he's gonna keep getting

1612
01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:13,240
Speaker 1: three four, five ish, you know, targets and receptions per

1613
01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:15,840
Speaker 1: game or Mondari Stevenson is going to be a guy

1614
01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:18,479
Speaker 1: to contend well, if I recall correctly too. And he

1615
01:27:18,920 --> 01:27:22,200
Speaker 1: missed the second half of his last year in college

1616
01:27:22,240 --> 01:27:24,200
Speaker 1: due to injury, and if that hadn't happened, he would

1617
01:27:24,240 --> 01:27:26,600
Speaker 1: have been a much higher traffic I do have a

1618
01:27:26,640 --> 01:27:30,200
Speaker 1: fun fact for you on that Roger Stevenson had five targets,

1619
01:27:30,200 --> 01:27:31,760
Speaker 1: and we tend the full game he played, not this,

1620
01:27:31,960 --> 01:27:35,639
Speaker 1: not Thursday Night. Five targets. Damian Harris has never had

1621
01:27:35,640 --> 01:27:40,280
Speaker 1: five targets in NFL life, college or high school. That

1622
01:27:40,320 --> 01:27:42,559
Speaker 1: does not surprise me. What do you think about Mac

1623
01:27:42,640 --> 01:27:45,280
Speaker 1: Jones going forward? We love the fact that he's a

1624
01:27:45,360 --> 01:27:49,720
Speaker 1: high completion rate guy, but the downfield passing hasn't happened yet,

1625
01:27:49,760 --> 01:27:52,200
Speaker 1: and at the end of the day, to get the

1626
01:27:52,280 --> 01:27:54,639
Speaker 1: kinds of box scores we want from a passing game,

1627
01:27:54,720 --> 01:27:57,400
Speaker 1: you've got to be able to complete some twenty yard passes. Yeah,

1628
01:27:57,520 --> 01:27:59,880
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the most impressive weapons either. He's he's

1629
01:27:59,880 --> 01:28:02,160
Speaker 1: a gay man draw. I mean, he's a great quarterback.

1630
01:28:02,160 --> 01:28:04,439
Speaker 1: You might be the best rookie quarterback in the class

1631
01:28:05,360 --> 01:28:07,679
Speaker 1: ahead of Fields and Trevor Lawrence. But uh, it's gonna

1632
01:28:07,680 --> 01:28:10,400
Speaker 1: be tough for him to crap crap crack the top

1633
01:28:10,520 --> 01:28:12,960
Speaker 1: twelve on a weekly basis. So he's kind of more

1634
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:16,680
Speaker 1: of a really yeah second quarterback. Feels like he had

1635
01:28:16,720 --> 01:28:18,920
Speaker 1: a lot of those at Alabama, though. It feels like

1636
01:28:19,080 --> 01:28:23,040
Speaker 1: a decent amount of hitting Jalen Wattleship that worked out okay,

1637
01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:26,000
Speaker 1: so maybe it will come later. Absolutely, if you want
