Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio,
Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and
Speaker 1: advice Now League dot Com. Here's your host. Welcome to
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly. I am Paul Shargy and my co
Speaker 1: host today are Scott fish High, Scott Hey, I got
Speaker 1: my Mike on, you got your God, Well he's got
Speaker 1: five more chances to screw it up. And Matt Harrison
Speaker 1: from Shock Fantasy. Hello, good to have you back. Thank
Speaker 1: you spent a little bit. It was one week. It
Speaker 1: was literally one week. I missed you. You you missed
Speaker 1: Colin mccockney really because he wasn't on last week. I
Speaker 1: heard he didn't call in. It was we'd not call in. Well,
Speaker 1: there was all in for Colin. There was, there was
Speaker 1: It was there a London game. No, No, that's why. No.
Speaker 1: I figured he's just a fixture on the show. Now,
Speaker 1: let's hope that. Let's hope not. Actually, we have lots
Speaker 1: to get to over the course of the show, including
Speaker 1: breaking down every game Fantasy style with letter grades on
Speaker 1: all the players who matter. Take a chance on me
Speaker 1: nine players that you can take a chance upon yes,
Speaker 1: and premature speculation where we give you players upon whom
Speaker 1: you can take a chance. No, wait that, Patu, It's
Speaker 1: gonna be a long, long show at this rate, don't
Speaker 1: tell me to restart this show. I'll turn this car around.
Speaker 1: We begin with the Rams taking on the Texans as
Speaker 1: we start breaking down fantasy matchups for you. Only only
Speaker 1: one game on by this week, so we've got plenty
Speaker 1: to get to For Rams Texans, it feels like one
Speaker 1: sided affair. We expected a lot more scoring last week
Speaker 1: from the Rams and a similarly easy match up. What
Speaker 1: about this week? And I especially want to focus on
Speaker 1: Darryl Henderson. Huge letdown against the Lions last week? Do
Speaker 1: you like him this week? He gets against the Texans.
Speaker 1: That was a smash spot. I don't I don't know
Speaker 1: what happened there, but uh yeah, we can start with Henderson.
Speaker 1: Uh he once it gets once again, gets another bottom
Speaker 1: of the bottom ten defense against running backs, allowing over
Speaker 1: twenty rushing yards per game. Uh. I will say though
Speaker 1: Henderson now healthy, he's getting all the work in that backfield.
Speaker 1: Michelle is relegated to almost nothing. Just eight snaps last
Speaker 1: week for Michelle. So yeah, So he's on your bench.
Speaker 1: But Henderson, I'm given the A to again. Um This
Speaker 1: Texans defense has allowed a running back touchdown in all
Speaker 1: but all but one game twelve twelve on the year.
Speaker 1: That's a lot of touchdowns. Um uh. And Henderson has
Speaker 1: eight teen plus touches in four straight, averaging ninety six
Speaker 1: yards per game. I like him here, got an A
Speaker 1: grade there out of the passing grade passing game. I
Speaker 1: think we're still giving staff and Cup obvious a's. I mean,
Speaker 1: Stafford's averaging three d in ten yards two point seven
Speaker 1: touchdowns per game against the bottom ten defense. You sound
Speaker 1: like you're surprise that we're giving them a's against the Texans. No,
Speaker 1: I'm just you've explained it too much already. Let's get
Speaker 1: over to Woods. Then, I'm giving a B grade to Woods.
Speaker 1: Seventy yards and or a score in four straight. The
Speaker 1: Texans aren't allowing a ton to wide receivers because they
Speaker 1: allowed a ton to tight ends and running backs. Apparently
Speaker 1: wide receivers is the spot that they're they're holding back
Speaker 1: a little bit. But I still give Woods a B grade.
Speaker 1: He's probably gonna get you know, seven yards and or score.
Speaker 1: That's what he's doing. Uh. Van Jefferson I got a
Speaker 1: C grade too. He's completely taken over the number three
Speaker 1: role playing of the Snaps. Last week he's forced to
Speaker 1: Shawn Jackson out of the team. Grumpy Guss over there
Speaker 1: to Sean Jackson wants a trade. Isn't he a squeaky wheel?
Speaker 1: Then at what point do you go from squeaky wheel
Speaker 1: to grumpy Guss? He's there? Yeah, I don't have to
Speaker 1: trade not you know what, you need a squeaky wheel
Speaker 1: sounder speaking to squeaky squeaky Wheel. The coaches have said
Speaker 1: they want to get Van Jefferson more involved as well,
Speaker 1: so I'm giving him the C grade there. I think
Speaker 1: it's a great spot for Tyler Higbee, who I'm given
Speaker 1: an A grade to. The Texans have allowed a tight
Speaker 1: end touchdown in all but two games. Uh. That's six
Speaker 1: on the season, five tight ends over forty yards five
Speaker 1: tight ends with four receptions are more um and he
Speaker 1: got three three red zone targets in each of the
Speaker 1: last two games. He's getting targeted down there, so I
Speaker 1: think he's got a good shot to touch on. I
Speaker 1: have an A grade on him this week. Over to
Speaker 1: the other side, I kind of want to bench everything
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give if you're allowed to do that. The
Speaker 1: Rams have only allowed one quarterback over two hundred and
Speaker 1: seventy yards and one multiple touchdown games. So Mills is
Speaker 1: on the bench. Cooks is the only receiver you'd want.
Speaker 1: And I think I'm going to give him a C
Speaker 1: grade just because of the negative game script. And he's
Speaker 1: gained seven to ten targets except for that one Patriots game.
Speaker 1: He's gained seven to ten targets a game. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give him a C grade just on that. It's gonna
Speaker 1: suck if he gets Ramsey though, well, and why wouldn't he?
Speaker 1: Yeh Jalen Ramsey shadows often, not always, but often, and
Speaker 1: you know against the Texans, why wouldn't This is a
Speaker 1: volume call. But I I would say, if you have
Speaker 1: a better option, you know, go go Ben Jim the
Speaker 1: run game. Now, with the trade of mark Ingram, I
Speaker 1: have Johnson and Lindsay on the bench. The only redeeming
Speaker 1: spot for Johnson is he had five or more catches
Speaker 1: in to the last three games. He's really involved in
Speaker 1: the passing game. But you know it's not by apocalypse anymore.
Speaker 1: You don't you don't need to run back that bad
Speaker 1: to be going to Johnson, and we actually truly don't
Speaker 1: know what the split will be when Ingram is not
Speaker 1: in the In the game, Ingram leaves behind fourteen touches
Speaker 1: per week. If if you split those evenly between Johnson
Speaker 1: and Lindsay, it puts Johnson at fifteen touches a game,
Speaker 1: which is pretty relevant at fifteen touches for running back. Unfortunately,
Speaker 1: mark Ingram was almost getting that and he was barely
Speaker 1: r Yes, but the difference is Johnson catches. And that's
Speaker 1: why I would give him a secret. You don't have to.
Speaker 1: I would give him a c great just on on
Speaker 1: total usage here. Yeah, I mean I can, I can
Speaker 1: see the path for it, but I can also see
Speaker 1: I can also scoring like points and getting away behind. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so that's it. That's it. Okay, Steelers take on the Browns.
Speaker 1: Matt on the Steeler side, Juju Smith Schuster is out,
Speaker 1: of course, and that means we've got Chase Claypool and
Speaker 1: Deontay Johnson with a matchup and no Denzel Award in
Speaker 1: this game, and that may be one of the things
Speaker 1: that helps leverage those two to better games. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: gave Deontay a B and I gave Chase a C.
Speaker 1: And it's been the outside wide receivers that have really
Speaker 1: terrorized the Browns. And with Ward out that makes it
Speaker 1: even better. Johnson lines up on the outside at the
Speaker 1: time with Claypool out there about eight percent at the time.
Speaker 1: Deontay had thirteen targets and nine catches exactly in two
Speaker 1: of his last three games, and Claypool has scored three
Speaker 1: times in three meetings with the Browns and seeing his
Speaker 1: target share skyrockets since Juju's injury. But I just don't
Speaker 1: believe in Big Ben enough, so they both get downgraded
Speaker 1: a bit, and I have Big Ben on the bench
Speaker 1: Ben bench, Yeah, it all works together. Uh. He's only
Speaker 1: hit the two touchdown mark once this season and he's
Speaker 1: topped two fifty five yards only twice. The Browns have
Speaker 1: been good against the past if they're not facing a
Speaker 1: marquee quarterback like against mahomes Air bearon Kyler they got roasted,
Speaker 1: but everybody else they were all held to under two
Speaker 1: five yards and only one through for multiple scores against
Speaker 1: the Browns. So I don't like Ben, and Ben's not
Speaker 1: at that at that marque level anymore, not even close. Uh,
Speaker 1: Naji Harris is the only other Steeler I think we
Speaker 1: really need to talk to. His workload of carries plus
Speaker 1: targets is second only to Derrick Henry in the entire league,
Speaker 1: so it's hard to put anything worse than a B
Speaker 1: grade on him, even in a tough matchup. The Browns
Speaker 1: are top six in yards per carry, rushing yards, rushing scores,
Speaker 1: and total yards allowed to running backs. However, Stin Ekeler
Speaker 1: was able to just go bananas against this defense three
Speaker 1: weeks ago, so with all that workload, I think now
Speaker 1: j Harris, he can't be worse than a B in
Speaker 1: this one. Let me mention the tight end situation. Eric
Speaker 1: Ebron out so I've seen I'm seeing a lot of
Speaker 1: people pivoting to Pat Friar muth uh. The catch here is,
Speaker 1: though the Browns have been great against tight ends. Yeah,
Speaker 1: in Week one, Travis Kelsey terrorized them like he does
Speaker 1: everybody's Travis Kels. But since then they're giving up an
Speaker 1: average of two catches for twenty four yards and zero
Speaker 1: point two scores to the tight end position. So we
Speaker 1: should honestly take it out there, Travis Kelsey out of
Speaker 1: all tight end statistics because he's such an outlier. Once,
Speaker 1: once Judre came out Friar with targets just shot up
Speaker 1: that that's what I love loved him. I I wouldn't
Speaker 1: be surprised if he gets five to seven targets here.
Speaker 1: I will say, you're right about that. With the Kelsey thing,
Speaker 1: defense tight ends, defense against versus tight ends is so
Speaker 1: such a noisy statistic. It's all about who you played.
Speaker 1: But when now we're at week eight, so I mean,
Speaker 1: the sample size is not trivial here, and the Browns
Speaker 1: have been very good against tight ends other than Kelsey.
Speaker 1: This reminds me, by the way before you guys this
Speaker 1: time on the show, when JaMarcus Russell was a quarterback,
Speaker 1: we renamed him on the show JaMarcus asterisk because so
Speaker 1: I was on the show back. Yeah, he ruined every
Speaker 1: stat you'd have to go. Well, every quarterback except JaMarcus
Speaker 1: is averaging this. You know, you're absolutely right. The Browns
Speaker 1: have been awesome against Blake Bell, Farrell Brown, Colt, Jimmy Brown, Tyler, Conklin,
Speaker 1: Stephen Anderson, Jared cat Friar. Muth is not above that
Speaker 1: company right now. I think he's above all of those. However,
Speaker 1: Noah fant there five for thirty nine. Stop by jacking
Speaker 1: my matchup. Boys, Come on, I gotta get back to
Speaker 1: the Browns. We gotta get to it. Uh. Nick Chubb,
Speaker 1: he's been limited with a calf injury all week. If
Speaker 1: he can't go, it will be a heavy dose of
Speaker 1: d Ernest Johnson again with some Demetric Felton sprinkled in.
Speaker 1: It's worth noting that the Browns have had four for
Speaker 1: an instances this season which are running back had twenty
Speaker 1: one or more carries this year. Three were Chubb and
Speaker 1: then last week it was Dearnis Johnson. So if Chubb
Speaker 1: does go, and he will, mean they took him off
Speaker 1: the injury part, so he's going. Well, that's good. He'll
Speaker 1: probably be close to a bell cow for some reason.
Speaker 1: If Chubb doesn't go, I mean, Johnson probably gets the
Speaker 1: grade here. Alex Collins is the only back to get
Speaker 1: twenty rushing attempts against the Steelers this year. He ended
Speaker 1: up with a hundred and one yards and a score,
Speaker 1: but that was the only score of the Steelers have
Speaker 1: allowed to the position. So I'm only going to give
Speaker 1: Chub a C grade in this one. The receiver's Jarvis Landry.
Speaker 1: He's the only one i'd start, but I'm just giving
Speaker 1: him a C grade. Odell Benkham Beckham is firmly on
Speaker 1: the bench and by the way, he's dealing with a
Speaker 1: shoulder injury, has been limited all week, and if he
Speaker 1: doesn't put up decent numbers this week, I remit recommend
Speaker 1: a sabotage drop of Odell Beckham done. He hasn't topped
Speaker 1: one hundred yards in two years. In fact, since Week
Speaker 1: six of en he's topped sixty yards eight times and
Speaker 1: he's been held under sixty yards fourteen times. So Odell
Speaker 1: is just not good anymore. He hasn't really been relevant
Speaker 1: as a fantasy player since It's It's it's been a while.
Speaker 1: Landry appears to be more healthy. He saw eight targets
Speaker 1: in his return last week. The eye test looked good
Speaker 1: to five. Out of the six slot receivers to face
Speaker 1: the Steelers this year have posted very strong outings, and
Speaker 1: Landry is the best of that list. Finally, Baker Mayfield
Speaker 1: slated to start despite a fracture in his non throwing
Speaker 1: shoulder and a torn laborum. It's a pain tolerance thing,
Speaker 1: but there's a chance he gets sacked by t J.
Speaker 1: Watton this one and is removed from this game. So
Speaker 1: there's no way I'm starting Baker Mayfield and case Keenum.
Speaker 1: He filled an admirably last week, so I think that
Speaker 1: they could pivot to him pretty easily if Baker is
Speaker 1: not in this one. So Baker is on your bench
Speaker 1: and that's it. Hanging up the phone. Take on the Bears. Uh,
Speaker 1: the highest scoring wide receiver in fantasy football is Cooper
Speaker 1: Cup by a fair margin. You know who's number two?
Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel. Deebo Samuel nicely, nicely nicely, Uh, maybe deduced
Speaker 1: based on the fact that I'm talking about the forty
Speaker 1: nine and the Bears and it wasn't gonna be any
Speaker 1: Bears a right brand. He's second in receivers and yards
Speaker 1: after catch, which is great. He's an elite playmaker, and
Speaker 1: he gets a Bears defense that is third worst in
Speaker 1: tackling in fifth worst in coverage by Pro Football Focus Chicago,
Speaker 1: allowing the twelve fewest passing yards, but s those yards
Speaker 1: have gone to receivers and that is the league's second
Speaker 1: highest figure. And with um with George Kittle out, Deebo
Speaker 1: Samuels gonna get a ton of ton of looks in
Speaker 1: this game. A grade for Deebo Samuel. Let's stick with
Speaker 1: the passing game. I've got a se grade on Jimmy
Speaker 1: Garoppolo and it's a deep sleeper if needed. The Bear
Speaker 1: secondaries in disarray. No Khalil Mack to provide pressure on
Speaker 1: Garoppolo in this game. Chicago has allowed multiple touchdowns in
Speaker 1: three of the past four games, and well, he's not
Speaker 1: a high upside quarterback. Garoppolo is a safe one here,
Speaker 1: so maybe in QB flex and QB two leagues Jimmy
Speaker 1: Garoppolo startable here. Brandon Ayou I spent a lot of
Speaker 1: time on whether or not to put a starting grade
Speaker 1: on him. In theory, I should do something here because
Speaker 1: he's been on the field for seventy of the team's plays.
Speaker 1: George Kittle is out. I used the next best receiver
Speaker 1: on this team after Deebo Samuel, and they got They
Speaker 1: can't throw every past to Samuel right, and the Bear's
Speaker 1: thin secondary will be mobilizing to stop Deebo Samuel. So
Speaker 1: I actually have very favorable coverage here. That said, it's
Speaker 1: been one and two catch games in every game but
Speaker 1: one of them. The breakouts coming at some point for
Speaker 1: a or at least the relevancy, and this is a
Speaker 1: spot where it could be. So I'm gonna put a
Speaker 1: highly speculative C grade on Brandon Ayu because it should
Speaker 1: come together here. You just can't count on it, and
Speaker 1: if it doesn't, sue me. Elijah Mitchell gets a B grade.
Speaker 1: Got almost all the work last week and dominated the
Speaker 1: first half. In particular, the Bears have earned unsightly Profo
Speaker 1: Ball Focus grades ranking twenty nine and overall defense against
Speaker 1: the run thirty and tackling Khalil mac Out. As I
Speaker 1: mentioned um at home. Chicago has been a better run defense,
Speaker 1: but not a lot, And I think this thing could
Speaker 1: get ugly against a really a Bears team that's in
Speaker 1: disarray right now. I like, I like Elijah Missil Mitchell
Speaker 1: a lot and a solid B grade for him. Ross
Speaker 1: Dwelly is on the bench against a good Bears tight
Speaker 1: end defense. Let's go over to Chicago. The entire passing
Speaker 1: games on the bench. Do we even need to elaborate
Speaker 1: on that or can we just say that now Allan
Speaker 1: Robinson's on the bench, you know the whole day can't pass.
Speaker 1: So even what what what could be a positive matchup
Speaker 1: against a battered San Francisco secondary. I can't trust any
Speaker 1: part of it right now, so we're just gonna put
Speaker 1: them on the bench. The only starter you care about
Speaker 1: is Khalil Herbert, who's got to see he would be
Speaker 1: with his run against Tampa last week and something basically
Speaker 1: nobody does. Only the second running back in two years
Speaker 1: to top one hundred yards against Tampa, which was very impressive.
Speaker 1: And it's the only reason he's actually on my he's
Speaker 1: actually got to see grade here. Um, this is a
Speaker 1: pretty good forty Niners run defense. Only Jonathan Taylor's top
Speaker 1: eighty two yards. San Francisco is giving up just three
Speaker 1: point eight yards per carry. But we do like ground
Speaker 1: Bear he's looked good and Damian Williams did very very
Speaker 1: little last week. I don't blame letting someone else deal
Speaker 1: with that. I don't blame you. So yeah, that's uh,
Speaker 1: that is that's it for Chicago for not going to
Speaker 1: spend time in the fact in the passing game. But
Speaker 1: there are five NFL teams that have over twice the
Speaker 1: passing yards. You know, that doesn't seem that fun. That
Speaker 1: really isn't a fun fact. That is a frustrating fact
Speaker 1: for many many people. When we come back, take a
Speaker 1: chance on me. Nine players upon whom you can take
Speaker 1: a chance. These are guys that are on the waiver,
Speaker 1: wired guys you don't normally start. We'll tell you who
Speaker 1: they are when we return to Fantasy Football Weekly. Tell
Speaker 1: me nine players not normally you're starting. Lineup. We begin
Speaker 1: at the quarterback position. Scott Fish, who you got? I
Speaker 1: am going with Carson Wentz. He played the uh this
Speaker 1: same Titans team in Week three, had a d yards
Speaker 1: and north scores, but he had two broken or sprained
Speaker 1: ankles at the time. Since then, he's had multiple touchdown
Speaker 1: in every game. Sense. The Times are six worst against
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and have allowed multiple touchdowns in five of their
Speaker 1: last seven. I think it's a good Spotforms. I'm with
Speaker 1: you on this one. I like once Matt, your take
Speaker 1: a chance on me quarterback. I'm pretty sick to my
Speaker 1: stomach right now after recommending Sam Donald here, after doing
Speaker 1: so poorly against the Giants that he was benched, and
Speaker 1: that was just last week. You know what, It felt
Speaker 1: so weird if this might just work. But he gets
Speaker 1: the Falcons this week, and the Falcons have given up
Speaker 1: some explosive output to several quarterbacks this season. Jalen Hurts
Speaker 1: went for two sixty four and three, Brady to seventies
Speaker 1: six and five, Heineke to ninety and three, two uh
Speaker 1: and four. Three of those names are kind of suspect
Speaker 1: throwers right in the realm of Sam Donald. So yolo, yolo,
Speaker 1: Sam Donald. I've got Teddy Bridgewater. I don't think he's
Speaker 1: played particularly well the last couple of weeks, but here
Speaker 1: comes the worst past defense in the league, Washington, allowing
Speaker 1: the most fantasy points, the most touchdowns, the second most receptions,
Speaker 1: and the second most passing yards. His receivers have good matchups.
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy, barring something very weird comes back for this one.
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutland. Sutton is there as well. Tim Patrick. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk about this a little more. Most probably stays
Speaker 1: on the field, moving into the slot. This thing, this
Speaker 1: is uh, this is an offensive, a great opportunity, and
Speaker 1: Landon Collins might be the worst safety in the league.
Speaker 1: Let's go to the running back position. Scott, I am
Speaker 1: taking a page out of year playbook from last week
Speaker 1: charts where you chose two runners from and I'm going
Speaker 1: with Kenneth Gainewell and Boston Scott. After Miles Sanders left.
Speaker 1: Last week, Gainwell played twenty two snaps, Scott played twenty.
Speaker 1: Gainwell ran a route on seventeen of those. Scott lead
Speaker 1: in carries nine to four. It looks like that's the split.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get a lot of running game out of
Speaker 1: Scott and a lot of passing workout of Gainwell. Thank Scott.
Speaker 1: I think they both can be viable. Scott more in
Speaker 1: standard and uh gain one more in PPR. Matt, you're
Speaker 1: take a chance of me running back. I feel like
Speaker 1: Scott's cheata there and he's more likely to get one right.
Speaker 1: But that I only get half a peacock. I don't
Speaker 1: know how to do half a peacock. I think I
Speaker 1: got it. Uh So I guess I'll go with Devin
Speaker 1: Singletary and Zack Moss. I mean, actually Singletary is the guy.
Speaker 1: The backfield committee is almost as even a split as possible.
Speaker 1: It's like when you cut the last cookie and half
Speaker 1: for your two kids, and you gotta make it equal
Speaker 1: so they don't freak out. And the five games were
Speaker 1: both have played, Mosses leading the carry total by only
Speaker 1: five rushing attempts and they're evenly tied in receptions. Singletaries
Speaker 1: carries fell off a bit in the last two weeks
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs and Titans, but it should revert to
Speaker 1: normal and what should be a blow against Miami. The
Speaker 1: Dolphins are bottom ten in total yards allowed to back
Speaker 1: at a hundred and thirty eight per game, and have
Speaker 1: allowed ten total touchdowns to opposing runners, which is the
Speaker 1: third most in the league. There's plenty to go around here.
Speaker 1: J P. Ryan takes on the Jets and the Jets
Speaker 1: are getting obliterated by opposing running backs, are giving up
Speaker 1: thirty six touches for one ninety four total yards to
Speaker 1: running backs. Joe Mixon can't get all of that, and
Speaker 1: the Jets are so are so bad right now that
Speaker 1: Cincinnati is gonna get weight up by a lot. Joe
Speaker 1: Mixon is going to rest and some A JP Ryan's
Speaker 1: gonna come in the game and mop up what should
Speaker 1: be a solid second half for some A. JP Ryan.
Speaker 1: Lets go to the receiver position. Scott I am going
Speaker 1: with Jamal agg Knew for the It's getting hard to
Speaker 1: ignore that urban Meyer may have found his new space player.
Speaker 1: He wanted that role for e TN that didn't work out.
Speaker 1: He then then we talked. I thought maybe channel. I
Speaker 1: thought it would be Chal and that didn't work out.
Speaker 1: He's founded in egg knew Who's caught eleven of his
Speaker 1: thirteen targets in the last two weeks, and if you
Speaker 1: watched them, they're all open, short in space with plenty
Speaker 1: of room to run. He's a speedy guy who can
Speaker 1: make He hasn't made a huge play yet of it.
Speaker 1: He had that kickoff return for a touchdown, but or
Speaker 1: that miss field goal for a touchdown. But he's a
Speaker 1: dynamic playmaker. If he gets five to seven targets, he
Speaker 1: can make a play with one of them. I like
Speaker 1: him this week. Didn't they pay him stupid money in
Speaker 1: the off season? I swear they did. They signed him
Speaker 1: to some content. What do you think it was for?
Speaker 1: It was for special teams? Yeah, three years, four teen
Speaker 1: point to five year. How does that make sense? I
Speaker 1: think they're going to hear, Matt, you take a chance
Speaker 1: on me. Receiver Cole Beasley, who will square off against
Speaker 1: Miami's Nick need him in the slot, need him needs
Speaker 1: more than Ham to stop Beasley. He's allowed seventy four
Speaker 1: of the passes thrown in his coverage to be completed.
Speaker 1: In fact, the Dolphins have allowed the second most receiving
Speaker 1: yards to slot wide receivers this season, only behind Tennessee Plus.
Speaker 1: Beasley is averaging seven targets and five and a half
Speaker 1: receptions per game on the season. He's playing for one
Speaker 1: of the best offenses in the league and the workload
Speaker 1: is there. But he's only rostered in fifty seven percent
Speaker 1: of leagues right now, and that needs to be fixed.
Speaker 1: Cold Beasley needs to be on rosters. Also, no Dawston
Speaker 1: in the middle point great point. Uh. Speaking of ham,
Speaker 1: My wife thinks it's weird to put mustard on ham Like,
Speaker 1: that's not everybody put mustard on ham. Put us. I
Speaker 1: don't need hams so mustard. So you're not part of
Speaker 1: any food conversation we ever have on this sholf. Evan
Speaker 1: Ingram is sitting on potentially a nice game. We've got Shepherd, Goliday,
Speaker 1: and Tony all hurting, all of them look shaping up
Speaker 1: his game time decisions here. Ingram should be a major
Speaker 1: part of the New York Giants offense. Ingram comes off
Speaker 1: his heaviest game target of the season and now a
Speaker 1: delicious matchup against the Chiefs, the team allowing the most
Speaker 1: yards too tight ends eighty two per game, and the
Speaker 1: fifth most touchdowns the tight ends. What's more, Kansas City
Speaker 1: is allowed tight end touchdowns in four straight games, mark
Speaker 1: ingram My sneaky sleeper play of the week, mark ingram
Speaker 1: She's evan. This whole show has been this way. Can
Speaker 1: we get mark tight eligibility? Well, we did it. Uh
Speaker 1: we We managed to change eligibility on Cordell Patterson to
Speaker 1: it all right. We at one point years ago Chargers
Speaker 1: tight end turn running back. Dang it, I can't remember
Speaker 1: his name. I'm gonna have to look it up. It
Speaker 1: created no end of frustration for fantasy leagues back in
Speaker 1: the day. Natron means Cincinnati takes on the Jets. Uh, Scott,
Speaker 1: let's start on the Cincinnati part of this. I already
Speaker 1: told you I like SoJ p Ryan, Joe mixons a
Speaker 1: slam dunk. I don't even think you need to spend
Speaker 1: time here. Really, Yeah, no that you You mentioned all
Speaker 1: the stats that the Jets are giving up. So I
Speaker 1: have an a grade on Joe Mixon, but yeah, smash
Speaker 1: spot for him over the passing game. I think Burrows
Speaker 1: starting to near that obvious territory too, but if not,
Speaker 1: he's the only QB to have multiple touchdown passes in
Speaker 1: every game that year. The Jets ranked top ten against QB's,
Speaker 1: but they haven't really been tested. In the last two games,
Speaker 1: they have allowed three hundred plus and multiple scores. I
Speaker 1: have an A grade on Burrow. I have an A
Speaker 1: grade on Chase because you know, I have eyeballs and
Speaker 1: I've watched him play. I have a C grade an
Speaker 1: tie Higgins. He's actually out targeted Chase in games they've
Speaker 1: both played together. Um much like their top break against qbs,
Speaker 1: they also have top break against wide receivers the Jets do,
Speaker 1: but once again, they haven't had a lot of really
Speaker 1: great tests. No hundred yard receivers, but a bunch of
Speaker 1: fifties six yard guys. I think that's where Higgins lands,
Speaker 1: and that's why I give the C grade on him.
Speaker 1: He's not getting the huge you know, the huge plays,
Speaker 1: but he is averaging over eight targets a game. I
Speaker 1: have Boyd on the bench because he's just not now.
Speaker 1: It was almost eating a lot of his work in
Speaker 1: the middle of the field, and he's been very good late.
Speaker 1: What do you think we had that call on his
Speaker 1: armor right last week. I think he hits again this week.
Speaker 1: I'm the full right there, he gets a Jets D
Speaker 1: that has allowed this Jets D. He has allowed two
Speaker 1: five yards and three scores to tight ends in just
Speaker 1: the last two weeks. That's a lot of points. I
Speaker 1: I only have a B grade on him, but you
Speaker 1: could just because this offense um if he doesn't score
Speaker 1: a touchdown, it might it might come down, but I
Speaker 1: could be an A grade honestly. On the other side,
Speaker 1: I only have one starting grade for the Jets, only one.
Speaker 1: The passing game is all on the bench with Mike White,
Speaker 1: and even if Flacco comes in, everybody's Davis has heard
Speaker 1: probably doesn't play in this game. Yep. I have a
Speaker 1: C grade on Michael Carter and it's just volume. Fourteen touches,
Speaker 1: thirteen touches, nineteen touches. He's gonna get ten plus they're
Speaker 1: gonna be behind and Mike White. If you watch the
Speaker 1: game last week after after Mike White came in, dump
Speaker 1: off the Carter he had eight catches. It's dump off stick.
Speaker 1: Actually top Mike White looked way better than Yeah. I
Speaker 1: was like, oh, this is gonna be ugly and he
Speaker 1: was actually okay. And for a guy who caught a
Speaker 1: running back who caught it passes going up against the
Speaker 1: Bengals who have allowed the most receptions to running back
Speaker 1: in the league and a negative game script, give me
Speaker 1: Carter with the S grade and I could be talked
Speaker 1: into higher. Sounds good. I like that. I like where
Speaker 1: you're going with that. When we come back, we're gonna
Speaker 1: check in on Panthers at Falcons. Matt already told you
Speaker 1: a personal guarantee that Sam Donald's going to have a
Speaker 1: gigantic game here. Obviously, I felt so good about it.
Speaker 1: So we'll find out what other elements of the Panthers
Speaker 1: offense you can trust to be Hubbard, d J. Moore,
Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson? Is that even possible? Talk about that when
Speaker 1: we come back. If you haven't had a chance to
Speaker 1: participate in the Guillotine League, it's not too late. No
Speaker 1: head to head matchups. Instead, the lowest team gets cut
Speaker 1: and the rest of that team's roster goes through the
Speaker 1: waiver wire where everybody else gets to bid on those players.
Speaker 1: All you have to do is not be the lowest
Speaker 1: scoring team every single week, and the last team standing
Speaker 1: wins at all. New leagues forming at Guillotine Leagues dot Com.
Speaker 1: Back at Moments, Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly, Paul Charchi
Speaker 1: and Scott Fish at Matt Harrison. You can follow us
Speaker 1: on Twitter if you'd like. I'm at Paul Charchion at
Speaker 1: Scott Fish twenty four and at Explosive Output at Harrison
Speaker 1: Shock Fantasy dot Com. Pathers take on the Falcons. Matt
Speaker 1: as a as I alluded to going into this break,
Speaker 1: you like Sam Donald or half like Sam Donald. I'm
Speaker 1: forced into taking it. Take a chance on me quarterback
Speaker 1: every week? So Donald was at Donald did so how
Speaker 1: do you feel? What? Does he get a C grade?
Speaker 1: I hope? So you're not giving a bench grade to
Speaker 1: a guy. He's got a C grade. But I do
Speaker 1: like his wide receiver d J. Moore. Have you ever
Speaker 1: heard of this guy? He's getting an eight grade. He's
Speaker 1: seen double digit targets in five of seven games this
Speaker 1: season and at least five receptions in every contest. Hasn't
Speaker 1: scored in three weeks, though, but the Falcons have allowed
Speaker 1: nine touchdowns that's nine times charge nine times, nine times
Speaker 1: to the wide receiver position through six games. So I
Speaker 1: like his chances of a score here. More has also
Speaker 1: beat the Falcons for eighty or more yards and three
Speaker 1: of his last four meetings. Robbie Anderson, I'm even giving
Speaker 1: a C grade. Two. Yeah, quietly, very quietly, Robbie Anderson
Speaker 1: is averaging nine targets per game over the last five weeks,
Speaker 1: nine times. That's but it's in targets amongst all wide
Speaker 1: receivers in the NFL. During that somebody told me to
Speaker 1: stay and I'm sure I'm not getting it quite right,
Speaker 1: but it's close to right that over the last what
Speaker 1: was it three games, with five games, it's like twenty
Speaker 1: nine targets for twenty nine yards. Yeah, it's crazy, it's
Speaker 1: pretty bad. But he has the same amount of targets
Speaker 1: as Jamar Chase and that's been which is crazy. Uh,
Speaker 1: but it's been quiet because he hasn't topped forty six
Speaker 1: yards and he's only scored once in that whole span.
Speaker 1: So Anderson moves all over the field, but he should
Speaker 1: match up a fair amount with Fabian Moreau, who's allowed
Speaker 1: four touchdowns in his coverage this year. Chuba Hubbard, he
Speaker 1: gets a C grade. He's still the replacement Bell Cow
Speaker 1: until CMC returns. Either way, I was trying to figure
Speaker 1: out a good name for replacement bell cow and and
Speaker 1: don't google replacement cow or artificial cow. It's not good
Speaker 1: for your browser history. No, don't do it. He's had
Speaker 1: at least sixteen touches in three straight weeks, and he's
Speaker 1: topped a hundred yards on the ground once. He's only
Speaker 1: scored once, so it's kind of matchup based here, and
Speaker 1: the Falcons aren't great. Miles Gaskin had seventy seven yards
Speaker 1: in a score last week. The Jets backs combined for
Speaker 1: one oh three and two scores and Hubbard gets everything,
Speaker 1: so he's startable. On the other side, the Falcons runners,
Speaker 1: Mike Davis is droppable only four touches last week. Cordarrel
Speaker 1: Patterson has completely taken over that position with fourteen carries
Speaker 1: and e of the last two weeks. He does add
Speaker 1: a little bit in the passing game two, with six
Speaker 1: or more targets in five of the past six games.
Speaker 1: Now is he really good though, Yeah, he's averaging just
Speaker 1: four point zero yards per carry in the last two
Speaker 1: weeks when he's really taken over the lead role. And
Speaker 1: I'm gonna recommend benching Patterson this week. The Panthers have
Speaker 1: allowed the fewest rushing touchdowns to the position, as well
Speaker 1: as the fewest receptions and receiving yards to the position.
Speaker 1: Opposing runners are only averaging two catches and twelve yards
Speaker 1: per game through the air. I don't like Patterson in
Speaker 1: that very contrarian take. I like it though it makes sense.
Speaker 1: I don't think I would bench him, but I will
Speaker 1: say his receptions don't come as a running back, they
Speaker 1: come as him. Let you know why. I have a
Speaker 1: feeling he's going to be like somewhere in the fifty
Speaker 1: to sixty yard range as a runner and maybe three
Speaker 1: or four catches, and it will be a little kind point.
Speaker 1: That's a ten point game, and it's a ten point game.
Speaker 1: That's not good enough for me. I got better teams
Speaker 1: than you chart. Let's go, uh, Calvin Ridley and Kyle Pitts.
Speaker 1: I'm lumping them together and giving them both B grades.
Speaker 1: Ridley is averaging ten targets per game on the season,
Speaker 1: Pits is averaging nine. Over the last three weeks. That
Speaker 1: means roughly half of the passes thrown by Matt Ryan
Speaker 1: go to one of these two players, and over the
Speaker 1: last five games, the Panthers revolving door of corners have
Speaker 1: allowed the fourth most receptions and the seventh most touchdowns
Speaker 1: to the wide receiver position. And if you want to
Speaker 1: call Pits a tight end, they've allowed tight ends to
Speaker 1: score in three of the last five games. I think
Speaker 1: Pits relates to Gasecki, who last week went seven and
Speaker 1: one plays out wide receiver Matt Ryan. He gets a
Speaker 1: B as well multiple touchdown passes in every game but
Speaker 1: the opener. Since that game, he's averaging three yards per game.
Speaker 1: Panthers have allowed three seventy three and three and a
Speaker 1: four touchdown game in the last month. So I like
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan here with a B grade. All right, Washington
Speaker 1: takes on the Broncos Taylor Heinek I'm I'm I'm down
Speaker 1: on him after really two bad weeks, including last week.
Speaker 1: His his grip on the starting job as wobbly, and
Speaker 1: a match up with Denver is not a get right spot.
Speaker 1: The Broncos are allowing one passing touchdown per game. Nobody
Speaker 1: has topped two passing touchdowns against Denver. Heinek hasn't been
Speaker 1: able to establish any kind of offensive consistency with any
Speaker 1: receiver other than Terry McLaurin. That shutting down McLaurin shuts
Speaker 1: down Heinik. He's on the bench this week. Last week
Speaker 1: he was. He was able to run for yards, which
Speaker 1: helped salvage his box score. Denver giving up twelve quarterback
Speaker 1: rushing yards per game, So Heineck is on the bench.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about Terry McLaren. Terry, He's receiving an astounding
Speaker 1: fort of Washington's targeted air yards, its crazy second highest
Speaker 1: number in the league. The Broncos allowed the eleventh most
Speaker 1: air yards, the third highest average depth of target at
Speaker 1: nine point six. McLaren should be able to get some
Speaker 1: downfield passing going against Patrick Certain and Ronald Darby, both
Speaker 1: of them allow at least ten yards per reception in coverage. Still,
Speaker 1: Denvers allowing the fifth fewest receptions per game. They've given
Speaker 1: up a ninety yard receiver just three times all year.
Speaker 1: So a B grade on Terry McLaurin the only other
Speaker 1: receiver you'd consider starting. And I've just got a C
Speaker 1: grade on Ricky Seals Jones. We still don't have a
Speaker 1: seal on here r r R. Thank you. Ricky Seals
Speaker 1: Jones continues to play as an every down role and
Speaker 1: UM and it's really the only other option behind Terry McLarin.
Speaker 1: He's averaging six and a half targets per game since
Speaker 1: taking over for Logan Thomas. But this is a tough matchup.
Speaker 1: The Broncos allowing the fourth fewest fantasy points per game
Speaker 1: to opposing tight ends and they have not given up
Speaker 1: a touchdown to the position all year. So just the
Speaker 1: C grade on Ricky Seals Jones Now Antonio Gibson. Denver's
Speaker 1: been shredded over the past three weeks, hemorrhaging four hundred
Speaker 1: six rushing yards and six total touchdowns allowed to running backs.
Speaker 1: What's keeping Gibson from Leeds status is just the middling workload.
Speaker 1: He's almost always in that like twelve fourteen, sixteen total
Speaker 1: touch range and it's just hard to get the explosive
Speaker 1: output you want your guys touching the ball that infrequence did.
Speaker 1: He did get two goal one carries last weekend. He's
Speaker 1: off the injury report this week, which is nice and
Speaker 1: I do like that part of the prospects for him
Speaker 1: in this game. His shin injury is a continuing concern
Speaker 1: of mind, although you hope that it doesn't end up
Speaker 1: being a factor, and like he suddenly gets knocked out
Speaker 1: in some game I think, you know, and if obviously
Speaker 1: verything would have happened, never by next week, alright, So
Speaker 1: maybe he gets hopefully gets healthy over the buy, although
Speaker 1: there's been talked that that he won't get healthy all
Speaker 1: season on that on that leg injury, which is a
Speaker 1: possibility unfortunately. Um, Jamie McKissick, if you are in a
Speaker 1: deep pinch, you could consider here. Um, it's so far
Speaker 1: just been totally hit or miss on him, and you're
Speaker 1: really your look for Washington to fall behind by a lot.
Speaker 1: If you see that coming, then mkiss it can make
Speaker 1: some sense. And I do like Teddy Bridgewater who I mentioned,
Speaker 1: and that will be my segue over to the Broncos side.
Speaker 1: He was might take a chance on me. Quarterback Courtland
Speaker 1: Sutton and a grade. Washington surrendered the second most scores
Speaker 1: to receivers, including ten touchdowns in the last four games.
Speaker 1: Marcus Callaway had a two score game, cor Darrell Patterson
Speaker 1: had a three score game. Over the last month against Washington,
Speaker 1: Sutton has notched at least five catches and sixty eight
Speaker 1: yards and three straight and I love him in this one.
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy comes back don't be rattled by the fact
Speaker 1: that he did not practice on Friday. Judy is ready
Speaker 1: to go for this game. Probably could have played last week.
Speaker 1: We're not a Thursday game. Had he had a full
Speaker 1: week of practice, he likely would have played then. So
Speaker 1: he comes back and he should be hitting the ground running. Yes, um,
Speaker 1: Judy runs from all over the field, or he did
Speaker 1: in the half of a work that he got in
Speaker 1: week one. By the way, in Week one, in about
Speaker 1: a half of work, it's like six catches for seventy yards,
Speaker 1: and it was just it was all about Jerry Jody
Speaker 1: early in that one. Oh my god. I hope he
Speaker 1: picks up right where he left off. So he's gonna
Speaker 1: go up a lot against William Jackson, but he's hurt,
Speaker 1: and if he doesn't go, then he goes up against
Speaker 1: rookie Benjamin st just making a second ever start and
Speaker 1: playing out of position. So I I'm very optimistic for him.
Speaker 1: Now you're a Tim Patrick manager and you're thinking to yourself, well,
Speaker 1: now that Judy's back, he's dead. But wait, there's more.
Speaker 1: K J. Hamler, their slot receiver out is also dead.
Speaker 1: He is dead, And so I think Tim Patrick's gonna
Speaker 1: get a lot of slot use in this one, and
Speaker 1: he will he will depose Kendall Hinton from that job.
Speaker 1: And then to follow me on this, if William Jackson
Speaker 1: is out and Benjamin St. Juice goes to his spot,
Speaker 1: that puts replacement slot corner Danny Johnson on Tim Patrick.
Speaker 1: And he's had just one star all year last week
Speaker 1: and he probably gave up a touchdown and that's why
Speaker 1: we have a C grade on Tim Patrick in this one.
Speaker 1: Both of the running backs, Melvin Gordon and Javonte Williams
Speaker 1: have C grades, although no Javonte Williams is a little
Speaker 1: hobbled coming into this game, but expecting to play Washington
Speaker 1: terrible past defense. I like the passing game way more
Speaker 1: than I like the running game. They're good run defense, um,
Speaker 1: and then they split. They both split exactly thirteen touches
Speaker 1: a piece per game, Washington allowing just three and a
Speaker 1: half yards per carry that's second lowest in the league,
Speaker 1: and no runners top sixty two yards. So I don't
Speaker 1: love either one. But I can't quite put bench grades
Speaker 1: on Gordon and Williams because they have been effective for
Speaker 1: most of the season. Final matchup of this said, well,
Speaker 1: maybe not the final match, but we might fit into
Speaker 1: we'll see how this goes, Eagles taking on the Lions. Scott,
Speaker 1: you already told us that you like both of the
Speaker 1: Eagles running backs in this game. What about the enigma
Speaker 1: that is Jalen Hurts, who were going to talk about
Speaker 1: extensively next segment. Enigma in the in fantasy are real
Speaker 1: because NFL? Because in fantasy he's he's been a top
Speaker 1: twelve fantasy quarterback every week, the only quarterback to have that.
Speaker 1: I think, Oh yeah, actually, I do think you're right.
Speaker 1: I think Burrow isn't that too, one of the only
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks in that um. He's basically the new Blake
Speaker 1: Bortles garbage time king percent of his fantasy points come
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, and like thirty percent of his
Speaker 1: fantasy points come with his legs. But he does get
Speaker 1: a good match up here against U A Alliance defense
Speaker 1: that's allowing like two yards passing per game. Uh so
Speaker 1: he might be able to get a little extra passing
Speaker 1: yard just game. I have a B grade on him.
Speaker 1: You could talk me into an A, but he's just
Speaker 1: been so bad in the passing game that I just
Speaker 1: don't want to do it again. More on that later. Yeah, Uh,
Speaker 1: Davonta Smith, I have a C grade. Smith is the
Speaker 1: only wide receiver you can consider starting. Really for the Eagles.
Speaker 1: The Lions have allowed the top receiver to have a
Speaker 1: monster game basically every week. Samuel had a hundred a
Speaker 1: nine out of touch, Adams had a hundred twenty one.
Speaker 1: Mooney had a hundred twenty five. Jefferson four, Chase n
Speaker 1: couple hundred and fifty six and to the top guy
Speaker 1: gets it done against the Lions every week. Um, So,
Speaker 1: I have a C grade on Smith, but it could
Speaker 1: be more. Um. Watkins and Rigor they're on your bench yet.
Speaker 1: Watkins no more than three catches in any game. Riggor
Speaker 1: has top twenty five yards only twice. Like that, There's
Speaker 1: nothing there, Uh, Dallas Goddard. In his last three games
Speaker 1: without Earth's Goddard went five or seventy seven and one
Speaker 1: seven for seventy five and one and three for seventy yards.
Speaker 1: He's basically a three to five catch seventy yard guy
Speaker 1: without Earth's over the last three games. So um, once again, Uh,
Speaker 1: it's a decent spot. Lions are middle of the pack
Speaker 1: thirteenth against tight ends. But Kittle had seventy eight yards
Speaker 1: Andrews I had a hundred nine. I put got her
Speaker 1: somewhere like just below that range. I think that's seventy
Speaker 1: five is fair forgot her in this one. But I'm
Speaker 1: gonna give him an a grade just be because, uh,
Speaker 1: the Lions are given up a lot of passing and
Speaker 1: I think that he could get something done on the
Speaker 1: other side the Lions. I have Jared Goff on the bench.
Speaker 1: The Eagles have been so bad against running backs that
Speaker 1: passers don't need to throw. Posing quarterbacks are only averaging
Speaker 1: averaging two and thirty eight yards per game over the
Speaker 1: last five games. Jared Goff is all also only averaging
Speaker 1: two eight yards per game. UM, and he's only been
Speaker 1: a coin flip chance at multiple touchdowns this year. UM,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the side that they're gonna run it
Speaker 1: more against this defense. And golf is on the bench.
Speaker 1: Calif Rayman and Alman Ross Brown. This annoys me every week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: five weeks ago is Alman Ross six catches a yards,
Speaker 1: Then sorry, Calif f Rayman six catches a bunch of yards.
Speaker 1: Then two weeks of Alman Ross six plus catches a
Speaker 1: bunch of yards. Now we're two weeks in a row
Speaker 1: of calif Frayman with six plus catches and a bunch
Speaker 1: of yards. This week, Jared Goff came out saying he
Speaker 1: loves that he always knows where Raymond is on the
Speaker 1: field and likened him to Cooper Cup. So I'm like,
Speaker 1: all right, maybe he's got a thing for Cliff Rayman now.
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna give Raymond the C grade bench and
Speaker 1: brown um over to Hockinson. I'm giving an A grade.
Speaker 1: He's completely off the injury report now, which is good
Speaker 1: to see, even though he played through that injury. Since
Speaker 1: Week two, tight ends have torched the Eagles Elite one's
Speaker 1: average one backups Foster Morow at sixty and a touchdown
Speaker 1: last week. They're all torching him. So I got an
Speaker 1: A grade for Hockinson. And in the running game, DeAndre
Speaker 1: Swift smash spot A grade. I mean against this Eagles
Speaker 1: team third easiest matchups for running backs, allowing nearly a
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty Comboy yards per game, which is good
Speaker 1: for second worst. Um. They're also allowing the fourth most receptions,
Speaker 1: which is amazing for Swift, and they're averaging thirty two
Speaker 1: running back touchdowns per game allowed, which means I think
Speaker 1: you can give Williams a C grade. He probably is
Speaker 1: gonna get ten plus touches. Alright, I like where you're
Speaker 1: going with that. Down Swift has been one of the
Speaker 1: great story of this year. His PPR floor, it's unbelievable. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's all coming in the second half. Fine, don't care,
Speaker 1: those those stats all work. Let's let's sneak in one
Speaker 1: more matchup. Dolphins taking on the Bills. Matt so Miles
Speaker 1: Gaskin only scores when you bench him, so maybe you
Speaker 1: should give him the bench grade here, so we've got
Speaker 1: a chance. Sure, I'm benching him. Um. The only Dolphins
Speaker 1: starter I have is Mike CASSICKI he gets a B
Speaker 1: in this one. He's had seven or more targets and
Speaker 1: five or more receptions and four of his last five
Speaker 1: in that span top to eighty yards three times and
Speaker 1: scored twice. The Bills are an awesome defense, they really are,
Speaker 1: but they've been burned for a couple of big tight
Speaker 1: end days by Logan Thomas and Travis Kelsey this year.
Speaker 1: But all other Dolphins are on the bench. Davante Parker
Speaker 1: still questionable with the shoulder injury. He might not go
Speaker 1: Jalen Wattle lines up in the slot against Taryn Johnson,
Speaker 1: who is not allowed a touchdown in his coverage and
Speaker 1: is giving up around thirty yards per game. Two faces
Speaker 1: of Bill's defense that's allowed five total passing touchdowns in
Speaker 1: six games. Gaskin faces a defense that did get torched
Speaker 1: by Derrick Henry two weeks ago, but Jason is not
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. And outside of that, no back is topped
Speaker 1: forty five rushing yards against the Bills, and in the
Speaker 1: first meeting, Gaskin went for twenty five yards on five carries.
Speaker 1: So bench for everybody else Zack Moss and Devin Singletary.
Speaker 1: I've mentioned Singletaries might take a chance on me runner.
Speaker 1: I'd give Moss a B grade and Singletary the sea though,
Speaker 1: because Moss has twenty total red zone touches to single
Speaker 1: teries eleven, which is why Moss leads the touchdown total
Speaker 1: four to one. Josh Allen and Steph Diggs, they both
Speaker 1: get an Emma Stone grade, which of course refers to
Speaker 1: the two thousand ten film Easy A Like It. Uh
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox, He's out with the hand injury. Dawson Knox
Speaker 1: out with a hand injury, but I'm not flexing to
Speaker 1: Tommy Sweeney. Of course, Cole Beasley was might take a
Speaker 1: chance of me wide receiver, and Emmanuel Sanders also started
Speaker 1: with a b. Even with the Dolphins getting Xavian Howard
Speaker 1: and Byron Jones back last week, the Dolphins gave up
Speaker 1: three thirty six and two to the Falcons, not that
Speaker 1: that matters. Howard's already given up five touchdowns on the season,
Speaker 1: while Jones is allowed of passer rating of one eleven.
Speaker 1: Nicely done the two minute matchup. We hit the post
Speaker 1: of Scott's holding up a clock for us Right now
Speaker 1: our number two Fantasy Football Weekly coming up in moments,
Speaker 1: including three tough questions. Jalen Hurts is he safe for
Speaker 1: the rest of the year? Find out when we come back.
Speaker 1: Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly, our number two. I'm Paul Giarchion,
Speaker 1: my co host today Scott Fish and Matt Harrison. Guys,
Speaker 1: this is a segment you like to call three tough questions.
Speaker 1: We traditionally begin with tough question number one. You're a
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes manager who can use mahomes is name cash
Speaker 1: a to trade for almost any quarterback you want. But
Speaker 1: are you trading him? Are you keeping him? Scott? No?
Speaker 1: For me, I think it's really only one bad game
Speaker 1: fantasy wise, and I know he's struggled, but I think
Speaker 1: that I think that they're gonna turn it around. I
Speaker 1: don't think they're doing anything anything fundamentally terrible. He's still
Speaker 1: top five in all scoring systems. Um, when I draft
Speaker 1: a player like as my number one quarterback, it's not
Speaker 1: because I feel he's gonna be the number one quarterback.
Speaker 1: It's because I feel like, very safe he's going to
Speaker 1: be a top five guy. And that's what Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: has been so far. He's only got three top ten
Speaker 1: defenses left on the schedule. I know that two of
Speaker 1: them are in the fantasy playoffs, and that does suck,
Speaker 1: But UM, I'll just stick with Mahomes. All right, Matt,
Speaker 1: you've got Patrick Mahomes on your roster. Are you trading
Speaker 1: him away? You're keeping it? Uh So? First off, in
Speaker 1: a redraft league, I don't think you can trade him
Speaker 1: straight up right now for Josh Allen, Kyler Murray or
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, seeing as they're just so hot right now.
Speaker 1: I believe those players you'd have to add something to
Speaker 1: get that done. And I don't want to add something
Speaker 1: to get those players. So that leaves the next tier
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks. And I think there's one quarterback that I'd
Speaker 1: like to trade Mahomes for, plus I think i'd get
Speaker 1: a little extra back, and that's Tom Brady. Brady's basically
Speaker 1: averaging the same amount of fantasy points in a standard league.
Speaker 1: The schedule is as soft as possible for the Bucks.
Speaker 1: They have one defense on the on the schedule that's
Speaker 1: of any concerns the Bills in Week fourteen plus Mahomes.
Speaker 1: As Scott mentioned, his fantasy playoffs are quite a bit
Speaker 1: more dicey than Brady's. Mahomes gets Pittsburgh since in Denver
Speaker 1: three defenses that have been average or better. Brady gets
Speaker 1: the Panthers twice and the Jets. So if I had Mahomes,
Speaker 1: I'd try to trade him for Brady and get a
Speaker 1: slight upgrade at another position like running back or wide receiver.
Speaker 1: That's a very specific answer. So yes is what you're saying. Yeah, Okay,
Speaker 1: so you're yes, but only one guy, only one, Only
Speaker 1: one guy you trade for. Fundamentally, on this show, we
Speaker 1: don't sell low on great players coming off a bad game,
Speaker 1: not one bad game. Come on, had a terrible game
Speaker 1: the other night, And well, actually that's a different story
Speaker 1: because I don't think Kyler Murray should be included with
Speaker 1: all the guys that Matt gave you right, because the
Speaker 1: running numbers have dried up significantly for Kyler Murray. That's
Speaker 1: a whole other conversation for another time, and maybe even
Speaker 1: later in this show if we have time. Um, we
Speaker 1: don't sell low on great players coming off a short,
Speaker 1: bad stretch. This is not the beginning of the end
Speaker 1: for Patrick Mahomes or anything close to it. Would anybody
Speaker 1: be surprised if he hit the Giants for four yards
Speaker 1: and four touchdowns? Not at all, not even in the
Speaker 1: slightest Nobody bad and I and we'd all be like, well,
Speaker 1: weren't we dumb for doubting Patrick Mahomes. So we're not
Speaker 1: trading Patrick Mahomes. That are there guys you could trade
Speaker 1: and come up even with Yes, I mean Tom Brady
Speaker 1: comes to mind. I think Josh Allen would be. That'd
Speaker 1: be a fine trade. But we're not. I'm not moving
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, and I'm out out there trying to shop him,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna he's gonna be just fine, and Scott
Speaker 1: said something very salient. He said, from a fantasy perspective,
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes has been fine, multiple touchdowns in every game
Speaker 1: until last week. He's been a better fantasy producer than
Speaker 1: he has been a real life producer. He's one game
Speaker 1: removed from a four hundred yard passing game. We should
Speaker 1: talk more about fantasy versus reality quarterbacks in tough question
Speaker 1: number two. Tough Question number two, Well Jalen Hurts finish
Speaker 1: the year as the Eagles starting quarterback Matt Well. He's
Speaker 1: an awesome fantasy producer. We've talked about it a little bit. However,
Speaker 1: is he an awesome quarterback? The Eagles have lost five
Speaker 1: of their last six. They will have three picks in
Speaker 1: the first round in the top like twelve ish of
Speaker 1: the draft next year. And don't tell anyone but Hurts
Speaker 1: is a bad passer. Over the last three weeks, he's
Speaker 1: been exposed as a bad passer. Each game has seen
Speaker 1: him with a completion percentage under six. By the way
Speaker 1: Geno Smith completes passes, Hurts Pro Football Focus passing grade
Speaker 1: is twenty one, just above Jacoby Brissette, Andy Dalton, and
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor. What are those quarterbacks have in common their backups,
Speaker 1: plus Gardner Minshew, he probably needs a shot at least
Speaker 1: a little bit here. They have to see if he's
Speaker 1: going to be the guy they're gonna roll with next year,
Speaker 1: or are they going to draft somebody in the first round.
Speaker 1: So I think they give Gardner Minshew a shot as well.
Speaker 1: Scott Will Jalen Hurts finished the year is the Eagles
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. I had everyone of Matt with the different
Speaker 1: Every one of those points led me to think to myself,
Speaker 1: they're going to give Jalen Hurts every opportunity for the
Speaker 1: rest of the year to become a better pass or
Speaker 1: kind of like Lamar Jackson did before they run into
Speaker 1: those two are three picks in the top thirteen, so
Speaker 1: I figured they'll they'll let him continue to try to
Speaker 1: grow all season. Um And I asked some of my
Speaker 1: my Eagles insiders, and they didn't think it was gonna happen,
Speaker 1: so I trusted them. He's got Eagles insiders. I don't
Speaker 1: have that. I have one insider singular just to make it,
Speaker 1: just to make it sound bigger than it was. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, I do Philadelphia Radio every Thursday, so you
Speaker 1: have Eagles insiders outsiders. It's got a hundred thousand wants
Speaker 1: of radio. They don't think Hurts is going to finish
Speaker 1: the season as the starter. Sooner or later. Every quarterback
Speaker 1: has to be able to pass. You can only cover
Speaker 1: up passing deficiencies for so long. Jalen Hurts has the
Speaker 1: eighth most turnover worthy plays according to PFF. He's absorbed
Speaker 1: the most sacks. That's not good to no. Despite having
Speaker 1: the third most time in the pocket, he's absorbed twenty
Speaker 1: two sacks. That's a lack of awareness that there. Maybe
Speaker 1: they just teach slow if they do. His deep passing
Speaker 1: for Hurts is especially bad. He's completing just thirty seven
Speaker 1: percent of his deep passes twenty or more yards, and
Speaker 1: he's tied for the most interceptions on those deep passes.
Speaker 1: This high value dynasty wise for Jalen Hurts. Right now,
Speaker 1: this is it. They can't possibly believe that Minshew is
Speaker 1: the starter though, like is the long term starter. Though,
Speaker 1: well it's so maybe not here hear me out. So
Speaker 1: after this week's game against Detroit, here comes Chargers Broncos Saints.
Speaker 1: Hard matchup, hard matchup, hard matchup that hurts me over
Speaker 1: the course of those three games that could be yet
Speaker 1: more losses they could go and three they could be.
Speaker 1: That's something like they're gonna this week. By the way,
Speaker 1: it's not out of the question at that point, you know,
Speaker 1: just your hand gets pressed on this and they might
Speaker 1: have no choice but to bench him. Then Philadelphia's got
Speaker 1: the weird late by the week fourteen by um, could
Speaker 1: Sirianni use that as a if? If if they play
Speaker 1: okay and there's still quasi relevant and they have to
Speaker 1: have a surge, they gotta like win out December to
Speaker 1: make the playoffs and Hurts has been bad, that could
Speaker 1: be another opportunity to make to make the move. I
Speaker 1: think there's too many scenarios Wherehurts gets benched because he
Speaker 1: just can't pass. We're gonna say yes to question number three.
Speaker 1: What's the appropriate level of concern for t Higgins? None?
Speaker 1: Some or a bowl loosening level of existential dread Scott
Speaker 1: It's just some, uh. I mean he leads the team
Speaker 1: in targets and games he's played with Jamar Chase. I
Speaker 1: mentioned that earlier during that matchup um so I meaning
Speaker 1: excluding the ones he missed. Um leads the team in
Speaker 1: red zone targets. Even even if you include those miss games,
Speaker 1: he leads the team in red zone targets. Uh, he
Speaker 1: just isn't getting the big plays that he did last year.
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase is getting those big plays now. The reason
Speaker 1: I say some is because this office, this this offense
Speaker 1: is running about as efficiently as it can and he's
Speaker 1: not getting the massive numbers. So I don't know that
Speaker 1: he's going to get a big jump. Maybe he'll get
Speaker 1: a few more a few more big plays, but it
Speaker 1: seems like this might be what he is with jama
Speaker 1: Chase on the field. So just some, Okay, Matt, what's
Speaker 1: the appropriate level of concern for Tee Higgins? None? Some
Speaker 1: or blowed? Scott stole a lot of my points. The
Speaker 1: only thing I'll really add on is hit fifteen targets
Speaker 1: last week. That's huge. What's good for the offense is
Speaker 1: good for the offense, and Jamaar Chase is good for
Speaker 1: the offense and they're going to have to start double
Speaker 1: covering him. That's why I have no concern about Tee
Speaker 1: Higgins right now. Jamar Chase has already murdered one Fangals.
Speaker 1: Wide receiver Tyler Boyd's career over he's being dropped out right,
Speaker 1: and he should be dropped out right. Te Higgins is next. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that maybe the case. What's good for the offense is
Speaker 1: bad for the offense. I'm not saying that Chase is
Speaker 1: so good. Higgins will never be more than the second
Speaker 1: receiving option on this team. Now, he is a good
Speaker 1: receiver and he's got a good quarterback. That means he's
Speaker 1: going to be on your roster and you're gonna be
Speaker 1: able to plug him in from time to time. But
Speaker 1: all the big plays, all the juicy box scores, that's
Speaker 1: going to Jamaar Chase, I you're and the other thing
Speaker 1: that's going to frustrate you on Tee Higgins the dud
Speaker 1: game and we've already seen it this year. The four
Speaker 1: catches for thirty yard games that's coming, and those things
Speaker 1: end seasons for you, whether you're in a guillotine league
Speaker 1: or the playoffs of a regular league. Four and thirty
Speaker 1: is those are seven points that are not going to
Speaker 1: help you win a fantasy matchup. The correct answer is
Speaker 1: some some cowboys take on the vikings. This is a
Speaker 1: conundrum game in many respect X because it is a
Speaker 1: Sunday night game and we don't know what the hell
Speaker 1: is going on, Dak Prescott, and we may not before
Speaker 1: the Sunday games kick off. The earlier games kick off,
Speaker 1: So we got to talk about this in two parts.
Speaker 1: Of course, Uh, Prescott has got a calf string now.
Speaker 1: During the week, Prescott was saying things like, well, I
Speaker 1: don't want to reinjure it. I don't want to lose
Speaker 1: the rest of the season because of one game. He
Speaker 1: was saying all the things that suggestion it's not up
Speaker 1: to me. It's not up to me. Whenever you say that,
Speaker 1: you're usually not going to play. I don't think he's
Speaker 1: playing now, we don't know that for sure. But even
Speaker 1: if he does play, calf injuries do reinjure, not like
Speaker 1: a high ankle sprain does or hamstring does, but it
Speaker 1: the the chance of re injury is legitimate with that.
Speaker 1: So you've gotta factor that in here as well. So
Speaker 1: if you had told me, Zach, if you told me
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott is gonna start and finish this game a grade.
Speaker 1: And that's where I had him at the beginning of
Speaker 1: the week when I started my prep on. But as
Speaker 1: the week went on and he continued to not practice,
Speaker 1: and I mean away I loaded him to be and
Speaker 1: now he got him down to a C because I
Speaker 1: just don't think Dak Prescott's gonna play in this game,
Speaker 1: and I worry about him going backwards if he does
Speaker 1: end up playing, it's tricky because it's the Sunday nighter.
Speaker 1: It's the Sunday Nighter. Now here's your official pivot on
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott. Check to see if Daniel Jones on Monday
Speaker 1: Night is available. Pick him up. If you're a Dack owner,
Speaker 1: so that if Dad doesn't go, you can insert Monday
Speaker 1: Night or Daniel Jones in a very positive matchup your
Speaker 1: lineup and we'll talk. Actually, I'm gonna talk about Daniel
Speaker 1: Jones later in this in this show. All right. So
Speaker 1: there's Dak his receivers. If Dak is gonna go, Ceedee
Speaker 1: Lamb and Amari Cooper are obvious a's Again, I don't
Speaker 1: think they're gonna go. Cooper Rush has three NFL passes
Speaker 1: in his life and one completion. If that's not a no,
Speaker 1: it's not. As a matter of fact, I believe that's
Speaker 1: it's not divided by two, then yes, if it was half,
Speaker 1: I got it. It's with Cooper Rush Seed Lamb and
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper dropped down to Sea grades for me, even
Speaker 1: though I like their matchups against a Viking secondary Without
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson, It's gonna force Cameron Danceler backup cornerback into
Speaker 1: a starting role. And the unique thing about this is
Speaker 1: Dancelers paid seven hundred fifty seven NFL snaps, Nine of
Speaker 1: them are on the side of the field he'll be
Speaker 1: playing in this matchup where Patrick Peterson goes, and those
Speaker 1: nine all came last week when he had to fill
Speaker 1: in for Peterson. You mean only nine times? I missed
Speaker 1: that nine times. That's it. And so I get worried
Speaker 1: about all the muscle memory that Cameron Danceler has established
Speaker 1: on one side of the field. Can he, in just
Speaker 1: his second NFL year, flip that over to the other
Speaker 1: side of the field. I don't know the answer to that.
Speaker 1: I worry now again a grades on Lamb and Cooper.
Speaker 1: If Pratt Scott goes Sea grades with Cooper rush. The
Speaker 1: other receiver receiving option I want to talk about is
Speaker 1: Dalton Sheltz. Other than his Week two dug dud, Sheltz
Speaker 1: has caught at least five passes, hit at least forty
Speaker 1: five yards in every game. But this is a tough
Speaker 1: test against the Vikings, who are allowing less than four
Speaker 1: receptions per game to opposing tight ends and have not
Speaker 1: given up a tight end touchdown at all this year.
Speaker 1: So I don't love Sheltz in this one, although I'll
Speaker 1: mention if it's Cooper Rush, a lot of times you
Speaker 1: do see the check down, release, safety valve tight end
Speaker 1: connection and that could happen here for Dalton Sheltz if
Speaker 1: it is Cooper Rush. So I've got a C grade
Speaker 1: on shelters regardless of who the starting quarterback is. Now
Speaker 1: let's go to Zeke. So now we've finally got a
Speaker 1: fairly predictable play. Obviously against the defense missing it's run
Speaker 1: stuffing defensive lineman Michael Pierce. Pierce has been out for
Speaker 1: a couple of games Detroit and Carolina, We're not able
Speaker 1: to take advantage of that, But Detriit and Carolina are
Speaker 1: not Ezekiel Elliott and this Dallas offensive line. The way
Speaker 1: Dallas is gonna win this game is they're gonna run
Speaker 1: Zeke and Tony Pollard like crazy in this one. And
Speaker 1: Dallas gets their impact right tackle l Collins back from suspension.
Speaker 1: That helps a lot, so obviously grade for Zeke, I've
Speaker 1: got a C grade and Tony Pollard He's received at
Speaker 1: least ten touches for sixty three yards in every game
Speaker 1: since Week one, which is great. Minnesota has allowed one
Speaker 1: running back to catch a touchdown pass against them in
Speaker 1: their last twenty eight games, so he's gonna have to
Speaker 1: get it done on the ground. Paula did score in
Speaker 1: a forty two yard run against Minnesota last year. See
Speaker 1: grade for him. All right, let's go to the Vikings
Speaker 1: and more predictable game Dalvin Cooks and obvious A. Cowboys
Speaker 1: are allowing an average of one rushing yards per game
Speaker 1: and a full touchdown per game over their last three
Speaker 1: So Cooks and obvious A, let's talk about Let's talk
Speaker 1: about Cousins, Jefferson and feeling the passing attack for the
Speaker 1: Vikings all A grades. It's been a major shift in philosophy.
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins averaging forty pass attempts per game. The last
Speaker 1: two years combined were thirty past attempts a game. That
Speaker 1: extra ten passes makes a huge difference. It Cousins ups
Speaker 1: side for fantasy use in his four games with at
Speaker 1: least thirty eight pass attempts covers as averaging a whopping
Speaker 1: three yards and two and a half passing touchdowns in
Speaker 1: the games in which Dallas has seen at least thirty
Speaker 1: eight passes. They're giving up three hundred twenty two passing
Speaker 1: yards per game. So big game coming here in all
Speaker 1: probability for Cousins who should get just near the requisite
Speaker 1: kinds of volume that we're talking about, and for all
Speaker 1: the talk of Trayvon Diggs and the amazing seven interceptions
Speaker 1: in the opening six weeks, but nobody's talking about except
Speaker 1: on this show. Because we have Diggs is allowing the
Speaker 1: second most passing yards in his coverage. The guy who's
Speaker 1: allowing the most is the other starting cornerback for Dallas,
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown. Their number one and number two and passing
Speaker 1: yards allowed. That's a great opportunity for Theland and Jefferson
Speaker 1: in this matchup, all of them a grades. How about
Speaker 1: kJ Osbourne. Last time we saw kJ Osbourne two weeks ago,
Speaker 1: he was scoring the overtime game winner. He lines up
Speaker 1: almost entirely in the slot that puts him up against
Speaker 1: Jordan Lewis. He has Pro Football Focuses one hundred six
Speaker 1: ranked cornerback, so you're saying the Cowboys have corner issues.
Speaker 1: I have corner issues. That's right. And even Tyler Conklin
Speaker 1: becomes a plausible desperation play against the defense that's allowed
Speaker 1: four different tight ends to top fifty five yards and
Speaker 1: four tight end touchdowns. So there you go. Who that
Speaker 1: feels like a lot of talking by me in this segment,
Speaker 1: way too much. That's what is more me than anybody
Speaker 1: needs to hear. But if you want to be able
Speaker 1: to read about my matchups instead of necessarily hearing me
Speaker 1: talk about them, Guillotine leagues dot com, you can read
Speaker 1: them in your mind. You could pretend it's charges voice.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's the way to do it, right there,
Speaker 1: Just pretend it's my voice as you read all the
Speaker 1: player rankings available for free Guillotine leagues dot com. When
Speaker 1: we come back, Titans take on the Colts. Titans without
Speaker 1: Julio Jones. What do we think of this passing attack
Speaker 1: without one of their key players? Will tell you when
Speaker 1: we come back to Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome in Fantasy
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. Paul Charchi and Scott Fish and Matt Harrison
Speaker 1: with you. Titans take on the Colts. Scott Derrick Henry's
Speaker 1: obviously an A grade. We're gonna start him. I'm a
Speaker 1: lot more just than what you have to say about
Speaker 1: the passing attacks sans Julio Jones this week. But I
Speaker 1: have like five minutes of Derrick Kenny okay, alright on
Speaker 1: the passing side, Ryan Tannehill, I have a B grade four.
Speaker 1: He's only averaging eight yards and a score this year,
Speaker 1: but the matchup is just right against the cold Steve
Speaker 1: we thought he would come back around last week. Um,
Speaker 1: the Colts D has allowed sixteen passing touchdowns through seven weeks.
Speaker 1: That's over two per game if you can do the
Speaker 1: math on that. Yeah, it's also a D that has
Speaker 1: allowed two hundred fifty total yards and three scores. Uh.
Speaker 1: That allowed two d fifty yards and three scores to
Speaker 1: Daniell in Week three, So that's it's one of his
Speaker 1: best games of the year was against his defense. Antonio
Speaker 1: Brown reminded us last week. While he's that guy, I
Speaker 1: have an eight GRA A grade on him. If Antonio
Speaker 1: Brown are sorry, wow wow wow a J. Brown, A J. Brown.
Speaker 1: I have a Brown written on my Yeah, a Brown,
Speaker 1: one of those Browns. Uh reminded us that last week,
Speaker 1: what a good game. He had last yet yards. Eight
Speaker 1: receivers have had over a hundred plus yards and or
Speaker 1: a score in seven games. The only game that didn't
Speaker 1: happen was Brandon Cooks when he went in nine for
Speaker 1: eighty nine, so almost a hundred yards. The top guy
Speaker 1: gets his against the Colts a J. Brown. That A J.
Speaker 1: Brown gets an A grade. Um Over to the other side,
Speaker 1: I said Carson Wentz was my take at chance on
Speaker 1: me player. So in the passing game, I have an
Speaker 1: A grade on Michael Pittman. He's their alpha. He is
Speaker 1: the high target games are great. His low target games
Speaker 1: he manages to somehow still make something happen. He gets
Speaker 1: like sixty yards and his low target games. Titans allowing
Speaker 1: the second most receptions and the most receiving yards and
Speaker 1: the fifth most receiving touchdowns. I think it's a pretty
Speaker 1: much a smash spot for Pittman. I think it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a high volume, high output game for him on
Speaker 1: his Zach Pascal actually have him on the bench. I
Speaker 1: know it's a great matchup against the team allowing the
Speaker 1: most yards to the slot receiver, but he has disappeared
Speaker 1: way too many times, including last week. Got me chopped
Speaker 1: in that guillotine league, and I are in. He has
Speaker 1: two catches for twenty seven scores twice seven yards and
Speaker 1: no scores in the last two weeks combined. And I
Speaker 1: plus matchups to yeah yeah mo Ali Cox I have
Speaker 1: at the bench. Um Kelsey had seven for sixty five
Speaker 1: last week against the Titans, but everyone else has done
Speaker 1: almost nothing. I think it's not a great matchup, and
Speaker 1: he doesn't have any more. He doesn't have more than
Speaker 1: five targets in any game. He's very touchdown dependent. Jonathan Taylor.
Speaker 1: It's just he's an A grade. Over the last four games,
Speaker 1: he's averaging over eighteen touches over a hundred thirty seven
Speaker 1: compo yards, one point to five touchdowns. I don't care
Speaker 1: that the Titans are top ten against running backs because
Speaker 1: it's mostly because teams can throw a ton on them.
Speaker 1: Only one running back this year has seen the volume
Speaker 1: Taylor sees, and that running back went for a hundred
Speaker 1: forty in a score. So yeah, yeah, a grade on
Speaker 1: Taylor makes sense. Patriots take on the Chargers. Matt for
Speaker 1: the Patriots, Damien Harris is on a heck of a
Speaker 1: run right now. Yeah, maybe no one passes against the
Speaker 1: Chargers because it's so easy to run against the Chargers,
Speaker 1: and I'm giving Damien Harrison a grade in this one.
Speaker 1: Posing runners are averaging five point three yards per carry,
Speaker 1: so if you hand the ball to your runner every time,
Speaker 1: you'll get a first down every two plays. That's a
Speaker 1: good thing. It's not surprising to find out that the
Speaker 1: Chargers have allowed these second most rushing yards and the
Speaker 1: fourth most rushing touchdowns to opposing runners. And Harris has
Speaker 1: been dominating the rushing count for a few weeks in
Speaker 1: New England, topping a hundred yards on the ground and
Speaker 1: two straight, scoring four times in the last three games.
Speaker 1: By the way, it could have been more. Last week.
Speaker 1: Something out so far ahead they stopped using him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and they gave two touchdowns to his backup. I forget
Speaker 1: who was off hand, but it wasn't Brandon Bolden. He's
Speaker 1: on the bench. By the way, bad matchup for receiving
Speaker 1: running backs in this one. Chargers somehow good against receiving
Speaker 1: running backs. They're a really weird team. And that's why
Speaker 1: I'm giving Hunter Henry and a grade in this one
Speaker 1: as well. Uh. I think we used to use the
Speaker 1: duck for the revenge duck because Hunter Henry and the
Speaker 1: revenge game. Yeah, John new Smith is questionable with the
Speaker 1: shoulder injury too, so touchdown vulture. Kendrick Born, He's also
Speaker 1: in the same boat boat questionable with the shoulder. No
Speaker 1: one else catches touchdown passes for the Patriots, it's just
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry. He's got a touchdown reception in four straight
Speaker 1: the revenge game as he returns to l A. To
Speaker 1: top it off, the Chargers are one of the worst
Speaker 1: teams in the league against the tight end position. They've
Speaker 1: allowed a tight end touchdown in four straight and five
Speaker 1: of six games this season. And this was the team
Speaker 1: that allowed David and Joku to go for a hundred
Speaker 1: and forty nine yards the other week. So Mac Jones,
Speaker 1: if the Chargers are that bad against tight ends, they
Speaker 1: have to be a passing sieve, right wrong. Only one
Speaker 1: quarterback they've faced his top two sixty yards this season.
Speaker 1: Just half the quarterbacks they've faced have achieved two or
Speaker 1: more touchdown passes, so Jones gets only a C grade. Uh.
Speaker 1: Those who didn't get to the two touchdown pass mark,
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott and Lamar Jackson, they're pretty good quarterbacks. They
Speaker 1: weren't able to do it either, so barely a starting
Speaker 1: grade for Mac mostly getting the C grade because I
Speaker 1: think Hunter Henry is gonna eat in this game. Jacoby
Speaker 1: my Fires and the rest of the receivers are on
Speaker 1: the bench. The Chargers are allowing the fewest receptions and
Speaker 1: yards to wide receivers and the second fewest touchdowns to
Speaker 1: the position at only three this season. So it's going
Speaker 1: to be just like Jacoby Myers to get his first
Speaker 1: ever NFL touchdown in this game when nobody bench grade
Speaker 1: for sure. Now, let's go over to the Charger side
Speaker 1: where we talk about justin air Bear and it's an
Speaker 1: a for an air bear. And by the way, air
Speaker 1: Bear t shirts and sweatshirts are available through shock Fantasy.
Speaker 1: If you go to the shock fantasy dot com shop,
Speaker 1: He's adorable, it will take you right to the selection
Speaker 1: of shirts featuring a cute little bear in a flight suit,
Speaker 1: number ten on his lapel and everything. It's great. Uh.
Speaker 1: If you use the promo code air Bear to purchase
Speaker 1: the season past to shock Fantasy, you get fifteen dollars
Speaker 1: off the sticker price. By the way, by the way,
Speaker 1: air Bear averaging two and two point three touchdowns per
Speaker 1: game The Pats appear good on paper, but a couple
Speaker 1: of good quarterbacks they've faced have had their way with
Speaker 1: the SEC. Darry Brady through for two sixty nine, Dac
Speaker 1: went for four forty five and three, and even Davis
Speaker 1: Mills went for three twelve and three. So I'm not
Speaker 1: fearing air bear in this one. Mike Williams and Keenan Allen,
Speaker 1: they're both getting a grades. The Pats present a middle
Speaker 1: of the pack challenge for Williams and Allen. None of
Speaker 1: the Patriots corners have been overwhelmingly good or bad. It's
Speaker 1: all that on the two wide receivers, who are each
Speaker 1: averaging over nine targets per game and close to six
Speaker 1: receptions each. Finally, the most difficult thing of this whole
Speaker 1: matchup is Austin Ekeler. Don't yeah, he had a hip
Speaker 1: injury pop up during the week. This week, He's the
Speaker 1: only Charger that didn't practice on Thursday, and he didn't
Speaker 1: practice Friday either. If he does not go, it's probably
Speaker 1: a pretty big split between Justin Jackson, Joshua Kelly, and
Speaker 1: Larry Rountree, with Dave Neighbors mixed in in the passing game.
Speaker 1: It's gross of that group round Tree is probably the
Speaker 1: one who gets the most work. He's the only one
Speaker 1: who's topped four carries in a game this year, so
Speaker 1: he'd probably be the safest rusher. But it would be
Speaker 1: a committee of four, and so I think I benched
Speaker 1: them all. If Eckler is cleared, he's getting a B grade.
Speaker 1: It's downgraded to a B because of the injury. The
Speaker 1: Pats have allowed the fifth most receptions in the fourth
Speaker 1: most receiving arts to opposing backs. So if you want
Speaker 1: a super sneaky DFS dart throw, Gabe Neighbors is the
Speaker 1: catching back. It's super deep. He's gonna be super cheap.
Speaker 1: But if Eckler doesn't go, Gabe Neighbors fire him up.
Speaker 1: Good heavens. Oh my gosh, I hope we don't have
Speaker 1: to fire up Gabe. Sounds like one of Mr Rogers friends. Um,
Speaker 1: we're gonna do the Monday Night or normally we do
Speaker 1: the Monday Night. At last, we've still got a couple
Speaker 1: of matchups left. Um can they'll come up next segment,
Speaker 1: But it's Giants Chiefs and this is super thorny as well.
Speaker 1: I would get these weird ones with a lot of
Speaker 1: moving parts here let's let's start and just try to
Speaker 1: get this out of the way. Kenny Golladay probably does
Speaker 1: not go after missing most all of practice this week.
Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd game time decision hamstring, can Darius Tony game
Speaker 1: time decision ankle, So good luck on this Monday night.
Speaker 1: Are that's gonna be a real problem. You know, for
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. It largely depends on just how how many
Speaker 1: of these guys are available, and I can't tell you
Speaker 1: that for Monday yet. If it's Shepherd, who seems to
Speaker 1: be the healthiest of the receivers here, you know, the
Speaker 1: hope is that the hamstring doesn't aggravate in game, which
Speaker 1: they do a lot, and that could be a big
Speaker 1: risk here. If you told me Shepherd was gonna play
Speaker 1: the whole game, I'd give him a B grade. I
Speaker 1: can't know that that's going to be the case, so
Speaker 1: I'm gonna move him down to a C. Great positive
Speaker 1: matchups against her Various Ward and Mike Hughes. These guys
Speaker 1: have really struggled in coverage all season long. The Kansasy
Speaker 1: is a love the second most touchdowns um uh too
Speaker 1: wide receivers, So there's a nice opportunity for Sterling Shepherd.
Speaker 1: If he's able to go, I don't think Holiday goes
Speaker 1: Kidarius Tony. Maybe he would be in the slot against
Speaker 1: Legarius Sneed. He's Pro Football focuses eighty nine ranked wide
Speaker 1: receiver and he's giving up a nearly perfect passer rating
Speaker 1: of one forty five in his coverage. So if Tony
Speaker 1: can go, he did practice on Friday, he did the
Speaker 1: hopeosity can go. He's got the ankle injury, and last
Speaker 1: time he tried to start a game with the ankle injury,
Speaker 1: he left in the first quarter. So that's your risk
Speaker 1: on on on Tony, and that's why I've got to
Speaker 1: see grade on him. Evan Ingram was might take a
Speaker 1: chance on me receiver this week, and he's healthy, So
Speaker 1: there's your safe play. You could go to Darius Slayton
Speaker 1: as a safe option as well as a pivot if
Speaker 1: you needed to. So for Daniel Jones, I've only got
Speaker 1: to c grade on him with all of these moving parts.
Speaker 1: Even though the Chiefs are giving up two point eight
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns per game to opposing quarterbacks and they're getting
Speaker 1: beat on the ground two and Daniel Jones can run.
Speaker 1: Chiefs are allowing the most quarterback rushing attempts for the
Speaker 1: most yards and the most rushing touchdowns. That's a hell
Speaker 1: of a trifecta for Daniel Jones on the ground. So
Speaker 1: maybe he helps you out with a safe floor of
Speaker 1: thirty fifty sixty rushing yards in this game if they
Speaker 1: decided to run him a lot. And there was that
Speaker 1: game earlier this year for Daniel Jones, do you remember this?
Speaker 1: They basically just random like a running back all game
Speaker 1: that a lot of designed runs in the first three
Speaker 1: weeks for Day, So maybe that happens here, and especially
Speaker 1: with say Kwon Barkley out, DeVante Booker gets a B.
Speaker 1: Kansas City ranks thirty one in rushing yards and receiving
Speaker 1: yards allowed to runners. This is a nice matchup. They
Speaker 1: give up over one hundred forty combo yards and nearly
Speaker 1: a score per game, and almost all that would go
Speaker 1: to Booker here. Elijah Penny is not a material factor
Speaker 1: in this offense. If Booker were better in this offensive line,
Speaker 1: we're better and give him an A. But we're gonna
Speaker 1: give Davantae Booker a B grade. And lastly, let's go
Speaker 1: over the Kansas City side where this won't take very long.
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes, Tyree Hill, Travis Kelsey, there's still a grades.
Speaker 1: You know, for all the problems Mahomes has had, as
Speaker 1: we discussed earlier in this show, He's still been a
Speaker 1: fantasy force. And you know, you would have never considered
Speaker 1: benching those guys before last week. You're not going to
Speaker 1: bench him here. And Mahomes is one game removed from
Speaker 1: a four hundred twenty eight yard passing games, so this
Speaker 1: is a still a very good game. New York's allowed
Speaker 1: multiple passing touchdowns in five or seven games. Only Sam
Speaker 1: Donald Jameis Winston failed to ring the bell twice. Last
Speaker 1: guy I want to mention for Kansas City, Darryl Williams,
Speaker 1: should be able to take some of the pressure off
Speaker 1: of Mahomes with a decent game here. Giants are allowing
Speaker 1: the fifth most rushing yards per game to opposing running
Speaker 1: backs on four and a half yards per carry. Williams
Speaker 1: is seeing sixty percent of the snap since taking over
Speaker 1: for Clyde Edwards a layer, and that volume could be
Speaker 1: lucrative here. Similar high volume backs like Ezekiel Elliott and
Speaker 1: Darryl Henderson and Alvin Camara averaged over one hundred yards
Speaker 1: and over a score per game. So well, all that
Speaker 1: together and I think we're sitting in a pretty good
Speaker 1: spot for Darryl Williams and we give him a B grade.
Speaker 1: In this game, the receivers are to the other receivers.
Speaker 1: Remember when Josh Gordon, everybody's excited for Josh Gordon. No, no,
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean like five years ago in the theaters.
Speaker 1: May be right about that. When we come back Premature
Speaker 1: spect Reculation, we're going to tell you the guys who
Speaker 1: want to pick up this week that everybody else will
Speaker 1: be trying to pick up next week. Find out who
Speaker 1: when we come back, final segment of Fantasy Football Weekly.
Speaker 1: We continue to create new leagues at Guillotine leagues dot
Speaker 1: com if you want to try the freshest new format
Speaker 1: and fantasy sports Guillotine leagues dot com. Fresh Fresh, let's
Speaker 1: hit the time machine. We're gonna give you some guys
Speaker 1: to pick up this week that everybody else is gonna
Speaker 1: be trying to pick up next week. Should we stop
Speaker 1: for a second, I think we need that fresh fresh Fresh.
Speaker 1: We just three of us button button bar that all right? Scott,
Speaker 1: who is your not take a chance and you're Premature
Speaker 1: Speculation player I'm gonna go super deep for people here,
Speaker 1: so sometimes we need a deep, deep prospect. Tyree Jackson
Speaker 1: looked really good at in uh O TAZM preseason. They
Speaker 1: really liked what they had in him. He's the tight
Speaker 1: end for Philadelphia designated return. They've spoken so glowingly about
Speaker 1: him that they it allowed them to trade Earth's um.
Speaker 1: He's an uber athlete six ft seven two fifty pounds
Speaker 1: four ft ninety time percent catch radius. He's a really
Speaker 1: big tight end for that Philadelphia Eagles team that needs receivers,
Speaker 1: and he could be a big catch radius guy for
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts. Alright, I like it. Deeper leagues, deeper leagues.
Speaker 1: Uh Matt, you're premature speculation player. I've got Van Jefferson
Speaker 1: and Scott mentioned percent snapshare earlier in the show last week.
Speaker 1: Uh DeShawn Jackson has requested a trade from the Rams
Speaker 1: and will be inactive this week, so Van Jefferson is
Speaker 1: going to be on the field in all three receiver sets.
Speaker 1: He's seen six or more targets in three of his
Speaker 1: last five games, scoring twice in those contests, and after
Speaker 1: a matchup against the Texans this week, which could yield
Speaker 1: some big numbers, and he was startable. I believe in
Speaker 1: your matchup, right, Scott uh. He gets Tennessee's terrible secondary
Speaker 1: neck this week and then has matchups with green Bay, Jacksonville, Arizona,
Speaker 1: and Seattle coming after the buy, all of which are
Speaker 1: decent matchups and should yield some positive game scripts for
Speaker 1: Van and some more starting grades. I'm gonna give you
Speaker 1: one point one premature speculations players. The point one is
Speaker 1: just a total dart throw. With Robert Tonyan's season over,
Speaker 1: the Packers are going to make a move. How about
Speaker 1: Houston shipping Jordan's Aikins, an athletic tight end that can
Speaker 1: be the You know, Marcedes Lewis isn't an athletic pass
Speaker 1: catching tight end. Jordan Aikins. Maybe if Houston's going to
Speaker 1: continue selling players, you know, if you're in a super
Speaker 1: deep league and you just want to throw a dart,
Speaker 1: maybe there. But that's let's go to the full the
Speaker 1: full blown guy. Salvat Akhmed Miami's quasi backup running back
Speaker 1: with Malcolm Brown and I are. That means there's four seven,
Speaker 1: nine more touches every game to go someplace. And Myles
Speaker 1: Gaskin has done nothing to suggest that he's automatically gonna
Speaker 1: get those. Schedule is favorable going forward, and he's had
Speaker 1: some decent usage the last couple of weeks eight and
Speaker 1: nine touches the last two weeks. Salvon Akhmed might end
Speaker 1: up turning into this quasi starting running back. Could happen,
Speaker 1: Could happen. He was good last year in relief for
Speaker 1: when he got the full load. Scott. Let's get into
Speaker 1: your final matchup, which is the Jaguars taking on the Seahawks.
Speaker 1: Lots of sneaky good plays against this sagging secondary for
Speaker 1: the Seahawks well, and frankly the run. The run defense
Speaker 1: isn't good either. Yeah. I was really torn on a
Speaker 1: lot of these. I mean, I already talked about Jamal
Speaker 1: agg knew who I really like is As I had
Speaker 1: a C grade on him me he was gonna take
Speaker 1: a chance on me. Blair Uh that passing game, I
Speaker 1: almost I'm torn on Trevor Lawrences as giving him a
Speaker 1: startable grade. I gave him a bench grade, but I
Speaker 1: could see a sea here. He had two hundred seventy
Speaker 1: plus yards and a score in each of his last
Speaker 1: two games. Over the last four games, though the Seahawks
Speaker 1: have not given up multiple touchdowns. Uh And in five
Speaker 1: the last five weeks, only stafford his top two and
Speaker 1: twenty nine yards passing. There's a lot more running game
Speaker 1: stuff that's getting done there. Um So I have learned
Speaker 1: on the bench. But this is interesting. They only have
Speaker 1: four pass receivers doing anything. Fifty five of the sixty
Speaker 1: one targets in the least two games have gone to
Speaker 1: four people like they have. They're throwing in no one else,
Speaker 1: just four people. Uh So, Marvin Jones C grade. Uh.
Speaker 1: Jones found his way to a big day in week six.
Speaker 1: He had two duds week two duds prior to that.
Speaker 1: But the matchup is good. Is good? Yeah? I like
Speaker 1: Jones more than you do here. Okay, I considered a
Speaker 1: B grade. It's the two duds before last week that
Speaker 1: give me pause. But yeah, against Sydney Jones PFS hundred
Speaker 1: and fifteen rank cornerbacks, I have a C grade there.
Speaker 1: Jones had a perfect passer rating in his coverage, everything's
Speaker 1: getting caught. I do have Leavisco Chanel on the bench, though,
Speaker 1: despite seeing ten targets in week six, He's not doing
Speaker 1: a lot with him unless he gets a huge play.
Speaker 1: He needs one huge play Lucky for him, he's done
Speaker 1: that two out of the last four weeks, and the
Speaker 1: Seahawks are capable of giving up the huge play too. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Bench grade on Dan Arnold. We have a two game
Speaker 1: sample size on the new team, a nice six for
Speaker 1: sixty four and a two for two two for twenty
Speaker 1: seven yard dud. Uh. Five plus targets in each is nice.
Speaker 1: But since no tight end since Week one, no tight
Speaker 1: end has top twenty five yards on the Seahawk Yeah.
Speaker 1: So uh and only two touchdowns allowed to the position
Speaker 1: on the season. So Arnold's on the bench. Robinson, I
Speaker 1: have a smash a spot on here. Uh, nineteen plus
Speaker 1: touches in four straight weeks. That hight experiment. He's getting
Speaker 1: less and less work um over the last four weeks.
Speaker 1: Robinson scored in each of them, averaging a hundred seventeen
Speaker 1: yards in each of them, and Seattle is allowing the
Speaker 1: most running back touches, rushing yards and even receiving yards
Speaker 1: to running backs. Smash spot there. On the other side,
Speaker 1: Gino Smith, I have on the bench because we've watched
Speaker 1: him play for the last couple of weeks, and you
Speaker 1: know what's going on there. Uh. Tyler Lockett four catches
Speaker 1: for forty seven yards in the two games with Gino.
Speaker 1: Because Locket is deep, all dependent and Geno can't pass
Speaker 1: the dull, so I got him on the bench. Gerald
Speaker 1: Everett only six targets in the last two games with Gino.
Speaker 1: You're not doing anything with six targets in two games.
Speaker 1: He's on the bench. DK Metcalf he had his day
Speaker 1: saved by a giant eighty four yard touchdown last week.
Speaker 1: He's the only guy I can kind of trust. Um,
Speaker 1: the top receiving option against the Jags, has had a
Speaker 1: hundred plus yards and or score in five of the
Speaker 1: last six Jags games. So I'm giving Metcalf a B.
Speaker 1: But I don't love it with Gino at the helm
Speaker 1: uh onto the running game, I expect Alex cons to play.
Speaker 1: I know he didn't practice on Friday, but he did
Speaker 1: this last week and then he played. Yeah, they rested
Speaker 1: him and then he played and he got like twenty touches.
Speaker 1: So I'm having yet twenty one touches. No back with
Speaker 1: fewer than twenty six touches against the Jags has top
Speaker 1: seventy five yards. It takes a ton of volume to
Speaker 1: get anything on the Jags, and I was surprised by that.
Speaker 1: So with a likely seventeen to eighteen touches coming to
Speaker 1: cons he is getting my patent patting patent volume. See,
Speaker 1: it's a volume C grade. I don't love the matchup,
Speaker 1: but I love the volume he's gonna get all right,
Speaker 1: sounds good. Our final matchup of the show is the
Speaker 1: Bucks taking on the Saints. Matt, this is uh, this
Speaker 1: is a Tom Brady has been basically bulletproof. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: it's a trickier matchup that It is tricky and I'm
Speaker 1: only given him a C grade in this one. Brady's
Speaker 1: top line and three tries against the Saints as a
Speaker 1: member of the Bucks to thirty nine and two scores.
Speaker 1: He's actually thrown more picks than touchdowns against the Saints
Speaker 1: as a member of the Bucks, and outside of a
Speaker 1: weird Daniel Jones game, the Saints have kept quarterbacks in check,
Speaker 1: allowing only the ninth fewest passing yards per game the
Speaker 1: second fewest passing touchdowns with only six allowed through six games. Uh.
Speaker 1: Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, they're the main wide receivers.
Speaker 1: Because Antonio Brown has been ruled out, he won't play
Speaker 1: Scotty Miller Justin Watson also on i R. What did
Speaker 1: we see last week when these two were the main
Speaker 1: guy is ten targets and three touchdowns for Mike Evans,
Speaker 1: eleven targets eight for one, eleven for Chris Godwin. He
Speaker 1: scored as well. If you give each of them double
Speaker 1: digit targets, the chances of both of them scoring is massive.
Speaker 1: But weirdly, the Saints give up all their passing yards
Speaker 1: to the wide receiver position, allowing one ninety to the
Speaker 1: position on average, and five of the six touchdowns they've
Speaker 1: allowed this year went to a wide receiver. However, Marshawn
Speaker 1: Lattimore has absolutely terrorized Mike Williams the last few years.
Speaker 1: In the last nineties, six snaps where they've lined up
Speaker 1: against each other, Mike Williams or Mike Evans has one catch.
Speaker 1: I'm so disappointed you right now, Sunday is Halloween and
Speaker 1: you could have You could have gone off on a
Speaker 1: complete spiel to Terrorizing is the only word you gave.
Speaker 1: I'm only going to give Mike Evans a C grade here.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give Godwin the B Gronk could return this
Speaker 1: week with the broken ribs I'm a bit apprehensive and
Speaker 1: would keep him on the bench. And this one. The
Speaker 1: Saints have been very good against the tight end as well,
Speaker 1: allowing only thirty eight yards per game to the position.
Speaker 1: Uh LEO four net. He gets a B grade four nets.
Speaker 1: Workload average is eighteen. That's Carrie's plus targets per game.
Speaker 1: That's the twelve best mark in the league, which is
Speaker 1: more than Austin Ekeler, Aaron Jones and sa Kwan Barkley
Speaker 1: and his healthy games. So the opportunity is there, and
Speaker 1: if he can maintain those eighteen touches, there's some gold here.
Speaker 1: But Kenny against a great run defense. Three running backs
Speaker 1: have hit the eighteen touch mark against the Saints this year.
Speaker 1: Two of those three scored twice. The average total yard
Speaker 1: mark for those three backs one and twelve yards. So
Speaker 1: if you get the volume and if the volume, if
Speaker 1: you get the volume, you get the production. But you
Speaker 1: already told me that, well maybe, okay, all right, I'm
Speaker 1: kind of listening to that, alright, Hiss averaging eighteen per game.
Speaker 1: Let's go Jamis Winston. He gets a revenge duck here.
Speaker 1: Charge him. Yeah, although this one is in New Orleans,
Speaker 1: so it probably doesn't hit quite as hard. The Bucks
Speaker 1: defense is allowing to seventy and two to opposing quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: and even both Mac Jones and Jacoby Brissette hit those
Speaker 1: numbers in the last month. But something about Winston just
Speaker 1: hasn't passed the eye tests though uh that's translated to
Speaker 1: low yardage totals. He's only top two hundred thirty yards
Speaker 1: once in six starts. Well, the volume is so low,
Speaker 1: which tells you plenty Sean Payton doesn't trust Winston to
Speaker 1: throw very much. He's not going yolo downfield, and that's
Speaker 1: why his favorite wide His favorite wide receiver is not
Speaker 1: a wide receiver. It's Alvin Camara. He gets a B
Speaker 1: grade in this one. Nobody runs against the Bucks, though
Speaker 1: they're averaging only forty nine yards against per game. However,
Speaker 1: we did see Camara get targeted ten times last week
Speaker 1: in Seattle, and the Bucks are allowing the fourth most
Speaker 1: receptions and the tenth most receiving yards to opposing backs.
Speaker 1: Despite the tough match up with the Bucks, Camara has
Speaker 1: topped a hundred total yards are scored in three straight
Speaker 1: against Tampa and then Mark has Callaway and the rest
Speaker 1: of the wide receivers there on the bench. You may
Speaker 1: look at this and say it's the Bucks secondary. They're terrible,
Speaker 1: but not so fast. In the last four weeks, they
Speaker 1: have not allowed to touch down to a wide receiver.
Speaker 1: Opposing offenses are only averaging fourteen and a half points
Speaker 1: against the Bucks in that time. Now, Callaway has had
Speaker 1: seven and eight targets in the last two weeks, and
Speaker 1: he's the best option, but he's only actually catching about
Speaker 1: half of his targets and that's not good. That's Jamis Winston. Yeah,
Speaker 1: plus Trey Kwon Smith returned last week. Kenny Stills and
Speaker 1: Kevin White were involved last week. Deonte Harris was limited
Speaker 1: in practice and might play. Yeah, it's just not good
Speaker 1: for any of the wide receivers. By the way, Michael
Speaker 1: Thomas still not practicing, but some speculated he'd be back
Speaker 1: for this game. That won't happen this week, but it
Speaker 1: might next week, so keep an eye on that. It
Speaker 1: might change the offense just a little bit there. While
Speaker 1: we're talking about the Saints, let's talk about Ingram and
Speaker 1: his impact. Mark Ingram's impact on Camaric. Camaric, coming into
Speaker 1: the season, had only had one game with twenty or
Speaker 1: more rushes and it was the six touchdown blow against
Speaker 1: the Vikings One had lost many championships they've now this
Speaker 1: season they're all brush games basically, and I got to
Speaker 1: believe they have to take some of the wear and
Speaker 1: tear off Alvin Camaron. They made this move to to
Speaker 1: siphon off some legitimate carries from Kimara. Yeah, Ingram is
Speaker 1: gonna get ten touches. I think you will. I think
Speaker 1: he will too. I think we're gonna see Camara go
Speaker 1: back to where they traditionally like to use him, which
Speaker 1: is more like twelve carries, six targets, seven targets, and
Speaker 1: that's more traditionally where he's been. I don't think they
Speaker 1: want to keep this level of workload going on. But
Speaker 1: is that bad because Alvin Camara was still a top
Speaker 1: five running back even even with the reduced touchload. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's a bad thing for maybe he'll just
Speaker 1: be more efficient. Is are we going to give starting
Speaker 1: grades at any point this season to mark Ingram taking
Speaker 1: injury off the off the table, the number fourteen, which
Speaker 1: I don't love his body swimming though. Yeah, so I
Speaker 1: have I have trouble ranking a number fourteen running back
Speaker 1: like that. But uh, I think we're gonna see we're
Speaker 1: you know, games like they're there are teams they're just
Speaker 1: so bad against the run that the backup we give
Speaker 1: se grads to. I think he's going to get some
Speaker 1: of those, a few of those alright in our final moments.
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's rushing totals and so much of a Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray has been an awesome Fantasy producers because he's chipped
Speaker 1: in rushing numbers one yards, six yards, ten yards, twenty
Speaker 1: one yards. That since he had that little bit of
Speaker 1: a shoulder injury scare by the way, and they're they're
Speaker 1: trying to take a little bit of those hits off
Speaker 1: of him. I think it's nice that they played Thursday
Speaker 1: and he gets a little extra rest this week. You
Speaker 1: know what, I think i'd move him. I think you'd
Speaker 1: trade Kyler Murray straight up for almost anybody right now.
Speaker 1: Probably I would check in on Patrick Mahomes after a
Speaker 1: bad game. Problem is is he already played, already play
Speaker 1: That's true, It's gonna be tricky. That part's gonna be trickier,
Speaker 1: but next week we can make that move. You need
