And Matt Harrison 0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:40.880 from Shock Fantasy. Hello, good to have you back. Thank 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:43.080 you spent a little bit. It was one week. It 0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:45.640 was literally one week. I missed you. You you missed 0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:48.559 Colin mccockney really because he wasn't on last week. I 0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:51.080 heard he didn't call in. It was we'd not call in. Well, 0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:53.400 there was all in for Colin. There was, there was 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:56.640 It was there a London game. No, No, that's why. No. 0:00:56.760 --> 0:00:58.760 I figured he's just a fixture on the show. Now, 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.760 let's hope that. Let's hope not. Actually, we have lots 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:04.560 to get to over the course of the show, including 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:07.720 breaking down every game Fantasy style with letter grades on 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:10.120 all the players who matter. Take a chance on me 0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:15.800 nine players that you can take a chance upon yes, 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:19.559 and premature speculation where we give you players upon whom 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:30.640 you can take a chance. No, wait that, Patu, It's 0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:34.800 gonna be a long, long show at this rate, don't 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:38.720 tell me to restart this show. I'll turn this car around. 0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:42.560 We begin with the Rams taking on the Texans as 0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:45.959 we start breaking down fantasy matchups for you. Only only 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:48.920 one game on by this week, so we've got plenty 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:51.440 to get to For Rams Texans, it feels like one 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:54.240 sided affair. We expected a lot more scoring last week 0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:57.160 from the Rams and a similarly easy match up. What 0:01:57.240 --> 0:01:59.320 about this week? And I especially want to focus on 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:04.040 Darryl Henderson. Huge letdown against the Lions last week? Do 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:07.400 you like him this week? He gets against the Texans. 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:09.400 That was a smash spot. I don't I don't know 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:12.920 what happened there, but uh yeah, we can start with Henderson. 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:16.760 Uh he once it gets once again, gets another bottom 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:19.880 of the bottom ten defense against running backs, allowing over 0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:23.560 twenty rushing yards per game. Uh. I will say though 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:26.760 Henderson now healthy, he's getting all the work in that backfield. 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:31.400 Michelle is relegated to almost nothing. Just eight snaps last 0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.720 week for Michelle. So yeah, So he's on your bench. 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:39.000 But Henderson, I'm given the A to again. Um This 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:42.480 Texans defense has allowed a running back touchdown in all 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:46.359 but all but one game twelve twelve on the year. 0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:50.200 That's a lot of touchdowns. Um uh. And Henderson has 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.960 eight teen plus touches in four straight, averaging ninety six 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:54.960 yards per game. I like him here, got an A 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:58.760 grade there out of the passing grade passing game. I 0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.480 think we're still giving staff and Cup obvious a's. I mean, 0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:04.480 Stafford's averaging three d in ten yards two point seven 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.320 touchdowns per game against the bottom ten defense. You sound 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:11.400 like you're surprise that we're giving them a's against the Texans. No, 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:16.760 I'm just you've explained it too much already. Let's get 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:19.400 over to Woods. Then, I'm giving a B grade to Woods. 0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.720 Seventy yards and or a score in four straight. The 0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.160 Texans aren't allowing a ton to wide receivers because they 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.960 allowed a ton to tight ends and running backs. Apparently 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.560 wide receivers is the spot that they're they're holding back 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.000 a little bit. But I still give Woods a B grade. 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:36.000 He's probably gonna get you know, seven yards and or score. 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:39.000 That's what he's doing. Uh. Van Jefferson I got a 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:41.640 C grade too. He's completely taken over the number three 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:46.040 role playing of the Snaps. Last week he's forced to 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:49.400 Shawn Jackson out of the team. Grumpy Guss over there 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:52.200 to Sean Jackson wants a trade. Isn't he a squeaky wheel? 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:55.280 Then at what point do you go from squeaky wheel 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:59.680 to grumpy Guss? He's there? Yeah, I don't have to 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:01.600 trade not you know what, you need a squeaky wheel 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:05.160 sounder speaking to squeaky squeaky Wheel. The coaches have said 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.720 they want to get Van Jefferson more involved as well, 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:09.880 so I'm giving him the C grade there. I think 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:12.200 it's a great spot for Tyler Higbee, who I'm given 0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:14.280 an A grade to. The Texans have allowed a tight 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:17.839 end touchdown in all but two games. Uh. That's six 0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.919 on the season, five tight ends over forty yards five 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.640 tight ends with four receptions are more um and he 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.320 got three three red zone targets in each of the 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:28.480 last two games. He's getting targeted down there, so I 0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:30.159 think he's got a good shot to touch on. I 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:32.400 have an A grade on him this week. Over to 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:35.640 the other side, I kind of want to bench everything 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:39.200 I'm gonna give if you're allowed to do that. The 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:42.400 Rams have only allowed one quarterback over two hundred and 0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:44.720 seventy yards and one multiple touchdown games. So Mills is 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:48.000 on the bench. Cooks is the only receiver you'd want. 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:49.600 And I think I'm going to give him a C 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:51.840 grade just because of the negative game script. And he's 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:55.320 gained seven to ten targets except for that one Patriots game. 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:57.440 He's gained seven to ten targets a game. I'm gonna 0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:00.520 give him a C grade just on that. It's gonna 0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:03.440 suck if he gets Ramsey though, well, and why wouldn't he? 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:07.800 Yeh Jalen Ramsey shadows often, not always, but often, and 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:11.320 you know against the Texans, why wouldn't This is a 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.000 volume call. But I I would say, if you have 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:17.640 a better option, you know, go go Ben Jim the 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:19.960 run game. Now, with the trade of mark Ingram, I 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:25.000 have Johnson and Lindsay on the bench. The only redeeming 0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:27.720 spot for Johnson is he had five or more catches 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.160 in to the last three games. He's really involved in 0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:33.960 the passing game. But you know it's not by apocalypse anymore. 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:36.039 You don't you don't need to run back that bad 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.640 to be going to Johnson, and we actually truly don't 0:05:38.680 --> 0:05:40.599 know what the split will be when Ingram is not 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:43.800 in the In the game, Ingram leaves behind fourteen touches 0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:47.320 per week. If if you split those evenly between Johnson 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:51.000 and Lindsay, it puts Johnson at fifteen touches a game, 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:55.919 which is pretty relevant at fifteen touches for running back. Unfortunately, 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.600 mark Ingram was almost getting that and he was barely 0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:04.240 r Yes, but the difference is Johnson catches. And that's 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:06.560 why I would give him a secret. You don't have to. 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:08.240 I would give him a c great just on on 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:11.400 total usage here. Yeah, I mean I can, I can 0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:13.880 see the path for it, but I can also see 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:18.200 I can also scoring like points and getting away behind. Yeah, 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.440 so that's it. That's it. Okay, Steelers take on the Browns. 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:26.200 Matt on the Steeler side, Juju Smith Schuster is out, 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:30.440 of course, and that means we've got Chase Claypool and 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:33.440 Deontay Johnson with a matchup and no Denzel Award in 0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.120 this game, and that may be one of the things 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:39.240 that helps leverage those two to better games. Yeah. I 0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:41.560 gave Deontay a B and I gave Chase a C. 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:43.880 And it's been the outside wide receivers that have really 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:45.919 terrorized the Browns. And with Ward out that makes it 0:06:45.960 --> 0:06:49.240 even better. Johnson lines up on the outside at the 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.960 time with Claypool out there about eight percent at the time. 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:56.440 Deontay had thirteen targets and nine catches exactly in two 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.320 of his last three games, and Claypool has scored three 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:01.440 times in three meetings with the Browns and seeing his 0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:05.520 target share skyrockets since Juju's injury. But I just don't 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:07.880 believe in Big Ben enough, so they both get downgraded 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:09.840 a bit, and I have Big Ben on the bench 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:13.440 Ben bench, Yeah, it all works together. Uh. He's only 0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:16.080 hit the two touchdown mark once this season and he's 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:19.360 topped two fifty five yards only twice. The Browns have 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:21.880 been good against the past if they're not facing a 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:26.360 marquee quarterback like against mahomes Air bearon Kyler they got roasted, 0:07:26.400 --> 0:07:29.480 but everybody else they were all held to under two 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:32.400 five yards and only one through for multiple scores against 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:34.720 the Browns. So I don't like Ben, and Ben's not 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:38.280 at that at that marque level anymore, not even close. Uh, 0:07:38.360 --> 0:07:40.800 Naji Harris is the only other Steeler I think we 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:44.160 really need to talk to. His workload of carries plus 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:47.920 targets is second only to Derrick Henry in the entire league, 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:49.440 so it's hard to put anything worse than a B 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:52.600 grade on him, even in a tough matchup. The Browns 0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:56.320 are top six in yards per carry, rushing yards, rushing scores, 0:07:56.400 --> 0:08:00.560 and total yards allowed to running backs. However, Stin Ekeler 0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:03.000 was able to just go bananas against this defense three 0:08:03.000 --> 0:08:05.440 weeks ago, so with all that workload, I think now 0:08:05.560 --> 0:08:07.240 j Harris, he can't be worse than a B in 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.920 this one. Let me mention the tight end situation. Eric 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:11.960 Ebron out so I've seen I'm seeing a lot of 0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:16.360 people pivoting to Pat Friar muth uh. The catch here is, 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:20.080 though the Browns have been great against tight ends. Yeah, 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:23.720 in Week one, Travis Kelsey terrorized them like he does 0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:26.920 everybody's Travis Kels. But since then they're giving up an 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:30.800 average of two catches for twenty four yards and zero 0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.760 point two scores to the tight end position. So we 0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:36.600 should honestly take it out there, Travis Kelsey out of 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:39.240 all tight end statistics because he's such an outlier. Once, 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:43.040 once Judre came out Friar with targets just shot up 0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:46.040 that that's what I love loved him. I I wouldn't 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:48.080 be surprised if he gets five to seven targets here. 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:50.719 I will say, you're right about that. With the Kelsey thing, 0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:55.640 defense tight ends, defense against versus tight ends is so 0:08:55.960 --> 0:08:58.480 such a noisy statistic. It's all about who you played. 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:00.520 But when now we're at week eight, so I mean, 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.240 the sample size is not trivial here, and the Browns 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:05.760 have been very good against tight ends other than Kelsey. 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:08.319 This reminds me, by the way before you guys this 0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:11.920 time on the show, when JaMarcus Russell was a quarterback, 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:16.280 we renamed him on the show JaMarcus asterisk because so 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:18.920 I was on the show back. Yeah, he ruined every 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:22.880 stat you'd have to go. Well, every quarterback except JaMarcus 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:26.320 is averaging this. You know, you're absolutely right. The Browns 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:31.480 have been awesome against Blake Bell, Farrell Brown, Colt, Jimmy Brown, Tyler, Conklin, 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:36.320 Stephen Anderson, Jared cat Friar. Muth is not above that 0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:39.120 company right now. I think he's above all of those. However, 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:44.240 Noah fant there five for thirty nine. Stop by jacking 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:46.360 my matchup. Boys, Come on, I gotta get back to 0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:49.760 the Browns. We gotta get to it. Uh. Nick Chubb, 0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:51.840 he's been limited with a calf injury all week. If 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:53.600 he can't go, it will be a heavy dose of 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:57.360 d Ernest Johnson again with some Demetric Felton sprinkled in. 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:00.079 It's worth noting that the Browns have had four for 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:02.679 an instances this season which are running back had twenty 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:05.480 one or more carries this year. Three were Chubb and 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:07.920 then last week it was Dearnis Johnson. So if Chubb 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:10.400 does go, and he will, mean they took him off 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:12.800 the injury part, so he's going. Well, that's good. He'll 0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:14.839 probably be close to a bell cow for some reason. 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:18.040 If Chubb doesn't go, I mean, Johnson probably gets the 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:20.760 grade here. Alex Collins is the only back to get 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:23.640 twenty rushing attempts against the Steelers this year. He ended 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:25.319 up with a hundred and one yards and a score, 0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:27.280 but that was the only score of the Steelers have 0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.440 allowed to the position. So I'm only going to give 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:33.360 Chub a C grade in this one. The receiver's Jarvis Landry. 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:35.280 He's the only one i'd start, but I'm just giving 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:38.640 him a C grade. Odell Benkham Beckham is firmly on 0:10:38.679 --> 0:10:40.959 the bench and by the way, he's dealing with a 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.760 shoulder injury, has been limited all week, and if he 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:47.400 doesn't put up decent numbers this week, I remit recommend 0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:53.080 a sabotage drop of Odell Beckham done. He hasn't topped 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:56.640 one hundred yards in two years. In fact, since Week 0:10:56.760 --> 0:11:00.320 six of en he's topped sixty yards eight times and 0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:04.959 he's been held under sixty yards fourteen times. So Odell 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.440 is just not good anymore. He hasn't really been relevant 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:11.080 as a fantasy player since It's It's it's been a while. 0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:13.880 Landry appears to be more healthy. He saw eight targets 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.080 in his return last week. The eye test looked good 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:18.440 to five. Out of the six slot receivers to face 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:21.439 the Steelers this year have posted very strong outings, and 0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.640 Landry is the best of that list. Finally, Baker Mayfield 0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:27.720 slated to start despite a fracture in his non throwing 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:31.080 shoulder and a torn laborum. It's a pain tolerance thing, 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:32.840 but there's a chance he gets sacked by t J. 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:35.120 Watton this one and is removed from this game. So 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:38.040 there's no way I'm starting Baker Mayfield and case Keenum. 0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.880 He filled an admirably last week, so I think that 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.679 they could pivot to him pretty easily if Baker is 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.839 not in this one. So Baker is on your bench 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:52.640 and that's it. Hanging up the phone. Take on the Bears. Uh, 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:55.920 the highest scoring wide receiver in fantasy football is Cooper 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:59.400 Cup by a fair margin. You know who's number two? 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:06.040 Deebo Samuel. Deebo Samuel nicely, nicely nicely, Uh, maybe deduced 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:07.520 based on the fact that I'm talking about the forty 0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:09.079 nine and the Bears and it wasn't gonna be any 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:17.160 Bears a right brand. He's second in receivers and yards 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:20.439 after catch, which is great. He's an elite playmaker, and 0:12:20.480 --> 0:12:22.720 he gets a Bears defense that is third worst in 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:26.880 tackling in fifth worst in coverage by Pro Football Focus Chicago, 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:30.520 allowing the twelve fewest passing yards, but s those yards 0:12:30.559 --> 0:12:33.040 have gone to receivers and that is the league's second 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:39.720 highest figure. And with um with George Kittle out, Deebo 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:41.600 Samuels gonna get a ton of ton of looks in 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:44.439 this game. A grade for Deebo Samuel. Let's stick with 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:46.480 the passing game. I've got a se grade on Jimmy 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:49.280 Garoppolo and it's a deep sleeper if needed. The Bear 0:12:49.320 --> 0:12:52.520 secondaries in disarray. No Khalil Mack to provide pressure on 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:56.320 Garoppolo in this game. Chicago has allowed multiple touchdowns in 0:12:56.360 --> 0:13:00.480 three of the past four games, and well, he's not 0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:03.480 a high upside quarterback. Garoppolo is a safe one here, 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:06.640 so maybe in QB flex and QB two leagues Jimmy 0:13:06.640 --> 0:13:10.240 Garoppolo startable here. Brandon Ayou I spent a lot of 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:12.079 time on whether or not to put a starting grade 0:13:12.080 --> 0:13:16.720 on him. In theory, I should do something here because 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:19.720 he's been on the field for seventy of the team's plays. 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:23.480 George Kittle is out. I used the next best receiver 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:25.880 on this team after Deebo Samuel, and they got They 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:29.760 can't throw every past to Samuel right, and the Bear's 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:34.000 thin secondary will be mobilizing to stop Deebo Samuel. So 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:38.920 I actually have very favorable coverage here. That said, it's 0:13:38.960 --> 0:13:42.120 been one and two catch games in every game but 0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:44.880 one of them. The breakouts coming at some point for 0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:47.760 a or at least the relevancy, and this is a 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:50.360 spot where it could be. So I'm gonna put a 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:55.600 highly speculative C grade on Brandon Ayu because it should 0:13:55.720 --> 0:13:58.640 come together here. You just can't count on it, and 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:04.000 if it doesn't, sue me. Elijah Mitchell gets a B grade. 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:06.920 Got almost all the work last week and dominated the 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:11.320 first half. In particular, the Bears have earned unsightly Profo 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:14.800 Ball Focus grades ranking twenty nine and overall defense against 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:17.840 the run thirty and tackling Khalil mac Out. As I 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:21.280 mentioned um at home. Chicago has been a better run defense, 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:23.560 but not a lot, And I think this thing could 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:26.160 get ugly against a really a Bears team that's in 0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:29.080 disarray right now. I like, I like Elijah Missil Mitchell 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:31.440 a lot and a solid B grade for him. Ross 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:34.120 Dwelly is on the bench against a good Bears tight 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:36.880 end defense. Let's go over to Chicago. The entire passing 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:39.400 games on the bench. Do we even need to elaborate 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:42.000 on that or can we just say that now Allan 0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.800 Robinson's on the bench, you know the whole day can't pass. 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:48.320 So even what what what could be a positive matchup 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:53.080 against a battered San Francisco secondary. I can't trust any 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.280 part of it right now, so we're just gonna put 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:57.000 them on the bench. The only starter you care about 0:14:57.000 --> 0:14:59.400 is Khalil Herbert, who's got to see he would be 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:02.160 with his run against Tampa last week and something basically 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:05.200 nobody does. Only the second running back in two years 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:08.520 to top one hundred yards against Tampa, which was very impressive. 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:11.360 And it's the only reason he's actually on my he's 0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:15.320 actually got to see grade here. Um, this is a 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:19.680 pretty good forty Niners run defense. Only Jonathan Taylor's top 0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:22.360 eighty two yards. San Francisco is giving up just three 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:25.720 point eight yards per carry. But we do like ground 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:30.840 Bear he's looked good and Damian Williams did very very 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:36.080 little last week. I don't blame letting someone else deal 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:39.320 with that. I don't blame you. So yeah, that's uh, 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:41.560 that is that's it for Chicago for not going to 0:15:41.600 --> 0:15:44.200 spend time in the fact in the passing game. But 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:47.760 there are five NFL teams that have over twice the 0:15:47.760 --> 0:15:51.880 passing yards. You know, that doesn't seem that fun. That 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:54.600 really isn't a fun fact. That is a frustrating fact 0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:57.240 for many many people. When we come back, take a 0:15:57.320 --> 0:15:59.640 chance on me. Nine players upon whom you can take 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:01.320 a chance. These are guys that are on the waiver, 0:16:01.440 --> 0:16:04.000 wired guys you don't normally start. We'll tell you who 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:39.600 they are when we return to Fantasy Football Weekly. Tell 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:42.640 me nine players not normally you're starting. Lineup. We begin 0:16:42.680 --> 0:16:46.520 at the quarterback position. Scott Fish, who you got? I 0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:50.240 am going with Carson Wentz. He played the uh this 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:54.080 same Titans team in Week three, had a d yards 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:56.600 and north scores, but he had two broken or sprained 0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:59.960 ankles at the time. Since then, he's had multiple touchdown 0:17:00.120 --> 0:17:03.280 in every game. Sense. The Times are six worst against 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:05.679 quarterbacks and have allowed multiple touchdowns in five of their 0:17:05.720 --> 0:17:08.520 last seven. I think it's a good Spotforms. I'm with 0:17:08.520 --> 0:17:10.800 you on this one. I like once Matt, your take 0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:13.439 a chance on me quarterback. I'm pretty sick to my 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:17.400 stomach right now after recommending Sam Donald here, after doing 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:20.280 so poorly against the Giants that he was benched, and 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:24.359 that was just last week. You know what, It felt 0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:27.320 so weird if this might just work. But he gets 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:29.560 the Falcons this week, and the Falcons have given up 0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:33.679 some explosive output to several quarterbacks this season. Jalen Hurts 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:36.800 went for two sixty four and three, Brady to seventies 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:40.000 six and five, Heineke to ninety and three, two uh 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:43.840 and four. Three of those names are kind of suspect 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:49.040 throwers right in the realm of Sam Donald. So yolo, yolo, 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:54.480 Sam Donald. I've got Teddy Bridgewater. I don't think he's 0:17:54.480 --> 0:17:57.240 played particularly well the last couple of weeks, but here 0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:01.000 comes the worst past defense in the league, Washington, allowing 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:04.119 the most fantasy points, the most touchdowns, the second most receptions, 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:07.560 and the second most passing yards. His receivers have good matchups. 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:11.119 Jerry Judy, barring something very weird comes back for this one. 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:14.479 Courtland Sutland. Sutton is there as well. Tim Patrick. We're 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:16.440 gonna talk about this a little more. Most probably stays 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:18.720 on the field, moving into the slot. This thing, this 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:21.479 is uh, this is an offensive, a great opportunity, and 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:24.119 Landon Collins might be the worst safety in the league. 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:28.040 Let's go to the running back position. Scott, I am 0:18:28.080 --> 0:18:30.480 taking a page out of year playbook from last week 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:34.360 charts where you chose two runners from and I'm going 0:18:34.359 --> 0:18:38.040 with Kenneth Gainewell and Boston Scott. After Miles Sanders left. 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:41.000 Last week, Gainwell played twenty two snaps, Scott played twenty. 0:18:41.080 --> 0:18:44.720 Gainwell ran a route on seventeen of those. Scott lead 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:47.359 in carries nine to four. It looks like that's the split. 0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:48.840 We're gonna get a lot of running game out of 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:51.440 Scott and a lot of passing workout of Gainwell. Thank Scott. 0:18:51.640 --> 0:18:53.600 I think they both can be viable. Scott more in 0:18:53.680 --> 0:18:57.720 standard and uh gain one more in PPR. Matt, you're 0:18:57.720 --> 0:18:59.280 take a chance of me running back. I feel like 0:18:59.320 --> 0:19:01.680 Scott's cheata there and he's more likely to get one right. 0:19:03.320 --> 0:19:07.120 But that I only get half a peacock. I don't 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:13.560 know how to do half a peacock. I think I 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:15.960 got it. Uh So I guess I'll go with Devin 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:21.120 Singletary and Zack Moss. I mean, actually Singletary is the guy. 0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:25.160 The backfield committee is almost as even a split as possible. 0:19:25.160 --> 0:19:27.120 It's like when you cut the last cookie and half 0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:29.119 for your two kids, and you gotta make it equal 0:19:29.160 --> 0:19:31.560 so they don't freak out. And the five games were 0:19:31.600 --> 0:19:34.480 both have played, Mosses leading the carry total by only 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:38.480 five rushing attempts and they're evenly tied in receptions. Singletaries 0:19:38.520 --> 0:19:40.280 carries fell off a bit in the last two weeks 0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:42.359 against the Chiefs and Titans, but it should revert to 0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:45.119 normal and what should be a blow against Miami. The 0:19:45.160 --> 0:19:48.240 Dolphins are bottom ten in total yards allowed to back 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:50.480 at a hundred and thirty eight per game, and have 0:19:50.560 --> 0:19:53.359 allowed ten total touchdowns to opposing runners, which is the 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:56.360 third most in the league. There's plenty to go around here. 0:19:57.280 --> 0:19:59.040 J P. Ryan takes on the Jets and the Jets 0:19:59.040 --> 0:20:01.600 are getting obliterated by opposing running backs, are giving up 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:06.440 thirty six touches for one ninety four total yards to 0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:09.960 running backs. Joe Mixon can't get all of that, and 0:20:10.040 --> 0:20:13.080 the Jets are so are so bad right now that 0:20:13.200 --> 0:20:16.360 Cincinnati is gonna get weight up by a lot. Joe 0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:18.560 Mixon is going to rest and some A JP Ryan's 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:20.920 gonna come in the game and mop up what should 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:23.840 be a solid second half for some A. JP Ryan. 0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:26.760 Lets go to the receiver position. Scott I am going 0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:32.320 with Jamal agg Knew for the It's getting hard to 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:35.680 ignore that urban Meyer may have found his new space player. 0:20:35.760 --> 0:20:38.520 He wanted that role for e TN that didn't work out. 0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:41.200 He then then we talked. I thought maybe channel. I 0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:43.600 thought it would be Chal and that didn't work out. 0:20:43.960 --> 0:20:46.639 He's founded in egg knew Who's caught eleven of his 0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:48.639 thirteen targets in the last two weeks, and if you 0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:52.000 watched them, they're all open, short in space with plenty 0:20:52.000 --> 0:20:54.199 of room to run. He's a speedy guy who can 0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:56.040 make He hasn't made a huge play yet of it. 0:20:56.440 --> 0:20:58.440 He had that kickoff return for a touchdown, but or 0:20:58.560 --> 0:21:00.720 that miss field goal for a touchdown. But he's a 0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:03.359 dynamic playmaker. If he gets five to seven targets, he 0:21:03.359 --> 0:21:05.320 can make a play with one of them. I like 0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:08.920 him this week. Didn't they pay him stupid money in 0:21:09.000 --> 0:21:11.840 the off season? I swear they did. They signed him 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:13.520 to some content. What do you think it was for? 0:21:13.960 --> 0:21:16.400 It was for special teams? Yeah, three years, four teen 0:21:16.440 --> 0:21:21.240 point to five year. How does that make sense? I 0:21:21.320 --> 0:21:23.520 think they're going to hear, Matt, you take a chance 0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:26.600 on me. Receiver Cole Beasley, who will square off against 0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:29.920 Miami's Nick need him in the slot, need him needs 0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:32.800 more than Ham to stop Beasley. He's allowed seventy four 0:21:33.640 --> 0:21:36.040 of the passes thrown in his coverage to be completed. 0:21:36.080 --> 0:21:38.919 In fact, the Dolphins have allowed the second most receiving 0:21:39.000 --> 0:21:43.080 yards to slot wide receivers this season, only behind Tennessee Plus. 0:21:43.760 --> 0:21:46.200 Beasley is averaging seven targets and five and a half 0:21:46.280 --> 0:21:48.760
