1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:05,080 Speaker 1: Hey everyone on Pat Fitzmorris, managing editor of Fantasy Pros 2 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: and Betting Pros, here to run through some of my 3 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:12,160 Speaker 1: favorite Week eighteen player props and trying to wash last 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: week's bad taste out of my mouth. I think we 5 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 1: are now at seventy one and fifty for the season. 6 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:20,480 Speaker 1: Still a pretty solid season overall, but yeah, last week 7 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: was bad. Let's turn things around, and let's start with 8 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: Josh Dobbs under two hundred and four point five passing yards. 9 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,720 Speaker 1: So Dobbs made his first NFL start in Week seventeen 10 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: and completed twenty of thirty nine passes for two hundred 11 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: and thirty two yards with one touchdown in one interception 12 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:45,959 Speaker 1: against the Cowboys. With Ryan Tannehill uninjured reserve after ankle surgery, 13 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,599 Speaker 1: and with rookie Malik Willis having played poorly in his 14 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: stint as Tannehill's replacement, Dobbs is going to get another 15 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: start here in an attempt to save the Titans season. 16 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: They've lost six straits, but they can still get into 17 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: the playoffs Saturday night with a win over the Jaguars. 18 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 1: The Jaguars are twenty ninth in DVA against the pass 19 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: this year. Their pass defense has generally not been good, 20 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: but over their last four games they are seventh in 21 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 1: DA against the pass. They have been better lately. The 22 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: Titans have been one of the run heaviest teams in 23 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: the league this year. They are running on forty eight 24 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,600 Speaker 1: point seven percent of their offensive snaps. I think they're 25 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: just going to pound away with Derrick Henry in this 26 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 1: game and try to minimize the burden on the inexperienced Dobs, 27 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: So I think Dobbs under two hundred and four point 28 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: five yards is a pretty good bet here. I'm also 29 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: taking the under on Kenny Pickett's passing yardage, which is 30 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: set at one hundred and ninety six point five yards. 31 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 1: He is going against the Browns this weekend, and the 32 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: Browns pass defense has been quietly excellent for the last 33 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: two months. Over Cleveland's last ten games, only four of 34 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: their opponents have thrown for more than two hundred yards 35 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: and only one has thrown for more than two hundred 36 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: and twenty nine yards, so they've basically just been shutting 37 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: down every other passing game they've faced. Since Week seven, 38 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: the Browns are number two in DVA against the pass. 39 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: Pickett in his starts and We're not going to count 40 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 1: the Week fourteen start against the Ravens, where he was 41 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: knocked out early with a concussion. In his ten other starts, 42 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 1: he's averaged two hundred and eight point nine passing yards. 43 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: Look for him to finish pretty well below that number 44 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,239 Speaker 1: this week against this excellent Cleveland defense, which, by the way, 45 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: has been a run funnel this year. Cleveland is not 46 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: very good against the run, and the Browns have faced 47 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: the sixth fewest pass attempts this season. So can he 48 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: Pickett under one hundred and ninety six point five passing yards. 49 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: I like Isaiah Pacheco, the Chiefs running back, to go 50 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: over sixty one point five rushing yards this week. Pacheco 51 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: has fallen short of this number in his last two games, 52 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: but before that he had rattled off six straight games 53 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: with better than sixty one and a half rushing yards. 54 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: So six of his last eight he has cleared this number, 55 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,679 Speaker 1: and over those eight games he's averaged fourteen point eight 56 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: rushing attempts and seventy one point one rushing yards per game. 57 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: He is facing a Las Vegas defense that ranks twenty 58 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: first in DVA against the run, and the Raiders have 59 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 1: given up an average of one hundred and sixty point 60 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: seven rushing yards over their last three games. They were 61 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: completely trampled by the Patriots Ramondre Stevenson in week fifteen 62 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: he had one hundred and seventy two rushing yards against them, 63 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: and Christian McCaffrey of the forty nine ers had one 64 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: hundred and twenty one rushing yards against them last week. 65 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: I think Pachecko can top sixty one and a half 66 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: rushing yards pretty easily here, so I like Pachecko over 67 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: sixty one point five rushing yards. We will get to 68 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: the rest of this week's plays in just a minute, 69 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 1: but first, do you want to track all of your 70 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: wagers in one place.

On 81 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: the surface, I don't love the idea of betting an 82 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: under on Etn since he's been so good lately, averaging 83 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: ninety eight rushing yards over his last three games. But 84 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: this is more about the Titans run defense than it 85 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: is about Etn himself. When Etn faced the Titans in 86 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: Week fourteen, he had seventeen carries for just thirty two 87 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: years yards. The Titans have held thirteen of their last 88 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: fourteen opponents under one hundred rushing yards. They've given up 89 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: only sixty five point four rushing yards a game to 90 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 1: opposing running backs this season, second lowest total in the 91 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: league behind only the forty nine ers, and Tennessee's defense 92 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: has just been a pass funnel all season. It has 93 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: faced a league high six hundred and thirty nine pass 94 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: attempts this season and only three hundred and seventy six 95 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 1: rushing attempts, third fewest, which means the Titans opponents have 96 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: run the ball on only thirty seven percent of their 97 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: offensive snaps this year. Teams attack the Tennessee Titans through 98 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,839 Speaker 1: the air, not on the ground. I think ETN finishes 99 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: with under sixty one and a half rushing yards Dereck 100 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 1: Henry and yes, I'm hitting this Titans Jaguars game pretty 101 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: hard because motivation levels are always hard to gauge in 102 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: Week eighteen, but we know the Titans and Jaguars are 103 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: both going to be motivated in a game that will 104 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: settle the AFC South title and will give someone a 105 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: playoff spot and send someone home. So both teams very 106 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 1: motivated for this one. And as mentioned earlier, the Titans 107 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: are probably going to run the ball as much as 108 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: possible this week to try to minimize the Josh Dobbs 109 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: effect on this game. Dobbs is inexperienced. I think they'll 110 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: try to take the ball out of his hands as 111 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: much as possible. Dereck Henry has run for more than 112 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: one hundred yards in three straight games, and he is 113 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: averaging ninety five point three rushing yards for this season. 114 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: When Henry faced the Jaguars in Week fourteen seventeen, carries 115 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty one yards. I think he gets 116 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: over eighty nine point five rushing yards this week. Jeric 117 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 1: McKinnon over thirty two point five rushing or receiving yards. 118 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 1: Excuse me. McKinnon has cleared this number in three of 119 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: his last four games, and the one game where he 120 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: missed over that stretch, he only missed by one and 121 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: a half yards. So since the beginning of November, McKinnon 122 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 1: has averaged five point seven targets a game, four point 123 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: six catches a game, and forty four receiving yards a game. 124 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: On Saturday Night, he is going to be facing the Raiders, 125 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: who have given up a league high eight hundred and 126 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: eighteen receiving yards to running backs. I think McKinnon clears 127 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: thirty two and a half receiving yards pretty easily, Evan Ingram, 128 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: the Jaguars tight end over forty five point five receiving 129 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: yards maybe my favorite bet of the week. Ingram has 130 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: just been a monster over the last month, averaging six 131 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: point eight receptions and eighty eight point three receiving yards 132 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: over his last four games. One of those games was 133 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: an eleven catch, one hundred and sixty two yard two 134 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: touchdown outburst against the Tennessee Titans, whom he will face 135 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: again on Saturday nights. Tennessee has given up one thousand, 136 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: ninety two receiving yards to tight ends this season, the 137 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: most in the NFL. And finally, another tight end prop, 138 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 1: Haydenhurst of the Bengal under thirty and a half receiving yards. 139 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: Hurst has played seven games this season where Bengals wide 140 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: receivers Jamar Chase and t Higgins have both been active, 141 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: and in those seven games, Hurst has cleared this number 142 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: thirty and a half only two times. He's failed to 143 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 1: hit it in five of those games. And Hurst is 144 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: going to be going up against a Ravens defense that 145 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: has allowed the eighth fewest receiving yards to tight ends 146 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: this season. Yes, revenge game for Hayden Hurst going against 147 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens who drafted him, but I think his 148 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,720 Speaker 1: old team keeps him in check this week and he 149 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 1: finishes under thirty and a half receiving yards. So let's 150 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: recap this week's plays one last time. Josh Dobbs Titans 151 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 1: quarterback under two hundred and four point five passing yards, 152 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett of the Steelers under one hundred and ninety 153 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 1: six point five passing yards, Isaiah Piccheko of the Chiefs 154 00:08:55,520 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: over sixty one point five rushing yards, Travis Eta of 155 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 1: the Jaguars under sixty one point five rushing yards, Derrick 156 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 1: Henry of the Titans over eighty nine point five rushing yards, 157 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: Jeric McKinnon of the Kansas City Chiefs over thirty two 158 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 1: point five receiving yards, Evan Ingram of the Jaguars over 159 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: forty five point five receiving yards, and Hayden Hurst of 160 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:24,559 Speaker 1: the Bengals under thirty point five receiving yards.
