Speaker 1: My man?

18
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 3: Getting over the holiday hangover from not just the frosty beverages,

19
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 3: but a bit of food. You know how we roll

20
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 3: in brook Lean. But yeah, we're doing pretty good. You know,

21
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 3: maybe not so good if you started Jumior Gibbs, but

22
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 3: just city Cookie crumbles. Man. Fantasy football really vary. You know,

23
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 3: we're gonna get into it and how to kind of

24
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 3: attack that stuff game by game, you know.

25
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: For ros what with you, my man, Glad? I got

26
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 1: your name right right off the top this time.

27
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 4: I appreciate it. You know what, though, my kids had

28
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 4: a kick out of it. I told them, you know

29
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 4: how you pronounced my name last week, and that's all

30
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 4: they're calling me man Foreze Sudiki. They can't stop. So,

31
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 4: you know what, it was good for something. I appreciate it.

32
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 5: Man.

33
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 4: You know, I'm just hoping that Sunday's games are a

34
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 4: little bit better than Thursday's games, to be honest with you, man,

35
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 4: that's what I'm hoping for, hoping for some better scoring.

36
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:47,039
Speaker 5: You know.

37
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 4: The guys, all your studs that you're starting this week

38
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 4: trying to think it too, cute with it. Hopefully all

39
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 4: these studs can come through this week.

40
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: Shout out to the Sidiki. Young is Matt Lamarca holding

41
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 2: it down for Brian Johnson. What's good for you?

42
00:01:58,400 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: Brother?

43
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 6: It's going on, guys, happy to be here and the

44
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 6: best present that I unwrapped this year on Christmas was

45
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 6: not having any players from Christmas in my fantasy line.

46
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 5: Yes it was.

47
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 7: It was a true Christmas miracle. All those games stunk somehow.

48
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 6: I think he got your fifteen points in fantasy football

49
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 6: even though he plays basketball.

50
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: All right, let's get ready to hop into the action.

51
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 2: Let's start with our Saturday contest two playoff teams in

52
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 2: the AFC, as the Houston Texans traveled to Los Angeles

53
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 2: to take on the Charges for Roz my Man. Let's

54
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: start you off with the Houston Texans side of the football.

55
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 5: You know, CJ.

56
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 4: Stroud definitely disappointed last week against the Raiders. It was

57
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,119
Speaker 4: a good matchup, but he threw for season low one

58
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 4: and eighty seven passing yards only one touchdown. And now

59
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 4: he gets the Chargers. They are a lot of the

60
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 4: third fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this year, and given

61
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 4: the fact that Stroud has finished as a top eighteen

62
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 4: quarterback only once in his last five games, I would

63
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 4: rather find another option to trust in the Fantasy Championship.

64
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 4: I'm gonna give a Stroud one star this week. I

65
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 4: get it like he could be a streamer for you,

66
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 4: but yeah, I'm looking for other options. Woody Marx looking

67
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 4: like he's good to go.

68
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 5: He's on track.

69
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 4: He getting a couple full practices this week, so I

70
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 4: would forget about Jawar Johnson. I'm sorry, Juward Jordan at

71
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 4: this point. You know, Mars himself hasn't been super reliable,

72
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 4: constantly getting banged up leaving the field. It's just tough

73
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 4: to trust him in such a big spot, especially with

74
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 4: this matchup. The Chargers are not giving up a lot

75
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 4: of fantasy points to running backs, second fewest fantasy points

76
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 4: to the position over the last four weeks, only twelve

77
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 4: point two fantasy points per game for the for all

78
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 4: running backs per week, so that's absolutely brutal. They only

79
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 4: allowing three point four yards per carry the running backs

80
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 4: to over the last four weeks. It's the second lowest

81
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 4: as well, only a thirty nine point five game total

82
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 4: on this game. So I'm staying away if I can.

83
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 4: But you know, I get it. Running backs don't grow

84
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 4: on trees. So I'm still gonna give Marks two stars

85
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 4: because of the likelihood that, you know, the Texas defense

86
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 4: keeps them in the game. Marx and rack ups some

87
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 4: value if he can actually stay on the field. Let's

88
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 4: talk about Nico Collins real quick. He's the only Texas

89
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,600
Speaker 4: wide receiver we can really trust right now. You know,

90
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 4: Jayden and Higgins kind of fallen off a little bit

91
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 4: over the last couple of games, so it's really all Nico.

92
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 4: The matchup is not ideal, but you're obviously starting him

93
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 4: as a wide receiver one. Over the last four weeks,

94
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 4: the Chargers have given up the twelfth most Fantasy points

95
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 4: to that left side, in particular where Nico runs most

96
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 4: of his perimeter routes from there.

97
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 5: So there's some hope for him.

98
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 4: There three out of four stars for Nico from me

99
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 4: and then Dalton Schultz. Listen, if you haven't figured it

100
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 4: out by now, Charges they have a pretty good defense,

101
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 4: and defending the tight end is no exception. They allow

102
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 4: the fourth fewest fantasy points to the position. It is

103
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 4: worth noting that Travis Kelce went seven for seventy against

104
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 4: them two weeks ago, Dallas Goddard went eight for seventy

105
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 4: eight against them three weeks ago, and four weeks ago

106
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 4: Black Powers went four fors sixty three and two against them,

107
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 4: So maybe you know, and if I keep going back, Actually,

108
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 4: Tyler Warren also had a solid game four for sixty

109
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 4: nine and a touchdown even further back. So I think

110
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 4: Schultz is definitely startable, but just temper expectations a little bit.

111
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 4: I'll give him two stars. Very solid streamer this week.

112
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,159
Speaker 2: All right, John, let me ask you though, This thing

113
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: with c. J. Stroud is interesting to me. You know,

114
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 2: his rookie year, he came out and he looked like

115
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 2: the future or the quarterback position. Then you got the

116
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: sophomore slump. You figured he would bounce back from that.

117
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, number three, this guy really is a better

118
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 2: player for the Texans than he is for your fantasy roster.

119
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 4: It's really interesting, man, because you know, Nick Keley, coming

120
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 4: from the Sean McVay system, you would think that he

121
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 4: would really dial some stuff in, put in more play action,

122
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 4: put in some more movement before the snap, pre snap

123
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 4: motion is really what it's all about. We just haven't

124
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 4: seen a lot of that this year, and that's really

125
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 4: you know, the types of things that can help these

126
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 4: quarterbacks out. So you know, hopefully going into the next

127
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 4: season with Kelly, they can install more of that and

128
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 4: hopefully we can get a you know, a better season.

129
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 5: See just Stroud moving forward.

130
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 2: Interesting stuff right there, John, my man, what's going on?

131
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 2: First time we get to hear your esteemed analysis today.

132
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: And you get the break down the Los Angeles Chargers.

133
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, let me put a quick bow on the Texans,

134
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 3: really quick, just looking forward for Stroud. They're one of

135
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 3: the teams are really gonna be keeping an eye on

136
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 3: the draft. If they boast of the offensive line, I

137
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 3: think they've shown they're a bit sensitive to that. Right

138
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 3: as the line has gone or not gone, so do

139
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,039
Speaker 3: the Texans offense. So I think we might be able

140
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 3: to rediscover that rookie campaign and more of a prolific

141
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 3: approach if they can give Stroud the time for those

142
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 3: deeper routes to develop. To the Chargers, man Hampton. Hard

143
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 3: not to love Hampton. You have to start him now.

144
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 3: I was gonna go three, but since our guy Lamark

145
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 3: is in the chair, he loves to give out stars.

146
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 3: He could do the Santa thing, I'm gonna do the

147
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 3: Grinch thing today. I'll plan. I'm better as a heel anyway,

148
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go with the strong two for Hampton.

149
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 3: You know, if you look at the touch share since

150
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 3: he came back, it looks very but we have seen

151
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 3: a very discernible gain for Hampton. You know, last three

152
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 3: fifty percent of the touches, then fifty two, then sixty

153
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 3: five with four of the five goal to go attempts.

154
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 3: And we saw what Jenti did to Houston also, so

155
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 3: less than they you shouldn't be terrified of just the defense.

156
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 3: So you're starting Hampton no matter what. The red flag

157
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 3: is that we haven't gotten a top fifteen finish in

158
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 3: the backfield since he returned, and only five total targets

159
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 3: for the backfield and then the matchup, but that's because

160
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 3: of Videll, who has the Q tag. You have to

161
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 3: keep an eye on that. If he's out, Hampton's a

162
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 3: must start, absolute four star kind of hit. But if not,

163
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 3: Vidal's got thirteen touches in two of the last three

164
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 3: and even though they're empty calories without targets are high

165
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 3: value stuff. It's enough to really make it annoying and

166
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 3: get that extra star. The wide receiver room, I'm gonna

167
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 3: introduce a term for us today because again it's really

168
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 3: all about context and how we're gonna apply it. So

169
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 3: I'm going to address the entire wide receiver room at once.

170
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 3: Lad McConkey, Quentin Johnson, and Keenan Allen they're all potentially

171
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 3: viable fantasy pieces. So I have him as one star wideouts,

172
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 3: but two star flex plays, meaning you just can't have

173
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 3: him in that second or third wide receiver spot. But

174
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 3: a guy like Lad mccacky's perfectly fine in the flex.

175
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 3: I'm just worried about the ceiling. Again. Here's your stat

176
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 3: for the charges wide receiver room. There's not a single

177
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 3: eight target game on the team since Week nine, and

178
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 3: they don't have a single top ten finish in that span,

179
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 3: right seal those work over the tight ends. Gatsdon just

180
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: a single star. His route rate is starting to get

181
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 3: capped at about sixty five to seventy percent over the

182
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 3: last four and now he got out targeted and out caught,

183
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 3: if that's a word by Will Disley. Start to wrap

184
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,719
Speaker 3: up with Herbert, it's hard. I wouldn't even look to

185
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 3: start them. I'd rather stream somebody. I'd rather play Tyler Shuck.

186
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 3: We'll talk about him later. Not a single QB has

187
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 3: hit two hundred and sixty passing yards all year. And

188
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 3: to that staunch defense, you know, shout out Will Anderson

189
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 3: and Daniel Hunter. Every single week. They're number one in

190
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 3: fantasy points allowed to the position. A quarterback. They're number

191
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 3: one in yards, number one in EPA, number one in snaps,

192
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 3: were splay play. Houston is still tough regardless, you know,

193
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 3: if the Raiders showed at heartbeat last week.

194
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's gonna be tough for those fantasy assets going

195
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 2: up such against such a tough defense, especially with the

196
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 2: way that offensive line has looked because of injuries this year.

197
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 2: Let's get to our next matchup, which is a interconference

198
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: game between you know what would appear to be with

199
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 2: the schedules, make it measure making. A schedule makers made

200
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 2: the schedule. Excuse me, got tongue tied on that one.

201
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 2: Baltimore Ravens traveled to lambeau Field take on to the

202
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers. Matt Lamarca break us down on the

203
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 2: Baltimore Ravens, their quarterback situation going into this game, and

204
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 2: is there anything that we really can look to them

205
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: for for you know, some fantasy success in this all

206
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 2: important week.

207
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 3: Yeah.

208
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 6: Well, first I want to say I appreciate John shouting

209
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 6: me out as the face to his heel, because unfortunately

210
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 6: I went a little more pessimistic leaning this week. So

211
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 6: I guess I'm going full on heel turn live here

212
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 6: on Fantasy Football Weekly, So that starts with Snoopuntley at quarterback.

213
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 7: I'm assuming it's going to be Snoop.

214
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 6: I don't know if we've gotten the official word on

215
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 6: Lamar being ruled out yet, but it seems though he's

216
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 6: trending towards being unavailable. We've seen Snoop do a decent

217
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 6: facsimile of Lamar in the past, but he is a

218
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 6: clear step down. In his one start with the Ravens

219
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 6: this year, he had sixteen point seven PPR points. That's okay,

220
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 6: It's not exactly what you're looking for at the quarterback position,

221
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 6: but it's not going to kill you either. He had

222
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 6: an eighteen percent designed rush rate in that contest, so

223
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 6: I gave him one star. I could potentially be talked

224
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 6: into using him as like a QB two in a

225
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 6: super flex league, but I think that's really what he

226
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 6: has best suited for at this point. Derrick Henry is

227
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 6: right on the edge of being a low three star

228
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,079
Speaker 6: or a high two star type of play. But again,

229
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 6: he'll turn lamarka. I'm going two stars on Henry. We

230
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 6: know that he has his deficiencies in the receiving game.

231
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 6: He's gonna give you very very little there. He's made

232
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 6: up for it with his work as a runner in

233
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 6: recent weeks, but it's been more efficiency base than volume based.

234
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 6: Right He's had fifty eight percent of the team's rushing

235
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 6: attempts in back to back game, so that is far

236
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,439
Speaker 6: from a belcow type of workload. He was notoriously off

237
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 6: the field down the stretch for the Ravens last week

238
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 6: in a must win game. They're getting Keaton Mitchell more involved.

239
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 6: So I still think Henry is a clear starter, but

240
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 6: I have him more as like a mid range RB

241
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 6: two than a low end RB one or even a

242
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 6: high end RB two, and Henry's the only viable starter

243
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,719
Speaker 6: in that backfield for the time being. Zay Flowers is

244
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 6: another two star play for me. He again has four

245
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 6: star utilization. You know, if you look over his past

246
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 6: three games, thirty eight percent target share, fifty percent air

247
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 6: yard share, and he's had at least fifteen point eight

248
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 6: PPR points in all three of those games, two top

249
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 6: ten finishes at the position. So he's a player who

250
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 6: stock is clearly trending upwards. But now you take Lamar

251
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 6: out of the mix and you have to ding him.

252
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 7: Just a little bit.

253
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 6: The positive note is that he did have a forty

254
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 6: three percent target share in his loan game with Huntley

255
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 6: this season fourteen point one PPR points. But he's been

256
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 6: a high floor, low ceiling type of receiver for most

257
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 6: of the year. I think we see something similar versus

258
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 6: the Packers. Probably, you know low end are a wide

259
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 6: receiver two type of range, and then at tight end,

260
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 6: Mark Andrews Isaiah Likely. I gave both guys one star. Unfortunately,

261
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 6: it's sad to see what has happened to Mark Andrews.

262
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 6: He was at one point one of the best receiving

263
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 6: tight ends in football, and he has maintained a decent

264
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 6: workload in recent weeks. It just hasn't resulted in any

265
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 6: fantasy production. Single digit PPR points in five straight games.

266
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 6: Him and Likely are just cannibalizing each other's workloads at

267
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 6: this point. I don't think either one is particularly viable

268
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 6: against the Packers.

269
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 2: All right, for oz, what do we have on the

270
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 2: Packers side of the football.

271
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 4: Okay, so you know there's no worth of whether Jordan

272
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 4: Love will be the guy this week. He's still making

273
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 4: his way through the concussion protocol. He is progressing through,

274
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 4: though he hasn't been cleared just yet, so it is

275
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 4: very possible that Malik Willis is the guy this week.

276
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 4: I wouldn't play Willis in fantasy if he's a guy,

277
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 4: but I would play Jordan Love if he goes. The

278
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 4: Ravens are giving up the seventh most passing yards, and

279
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 4: there are two things that play in his favor. The

280
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 4: Ravens tendency to play a lot of single high safety coverage,

281
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 4: which Love plays better against compared too high, and the

282
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 4: Ravens tendency to play more man coverage than most teams,

283
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 4: and Love is also better against man coverage as well.

284
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 4: And because the Packers have a chance at the two

285
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 4: two seed, I think these guys do have something to

286
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 4: play for.

287
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 5: You know.

288
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 4: It's better than potentially being the seventh seen, which is

289
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 4: likely the case if they lose this game. So I'm

290
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 4: gonna give Love three stars this week if he goes.

291
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 4: And then the running back situation, Josh Jacobs actually off

292
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,319
Speaker 4: the injury reports, so we don't have to go into

293
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 4: the week into the weekend guessing with him for like

294
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 4: the first week in how long now, right, that's great news,

295
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 4: So I wouldn't think twice when it comes to Jacobs

296
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 4: just fire him up as at RB one. The Ravens

297
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 4: have been better defending running backs lately, but this is

298
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 4: Josh Jacobs. He's got it done in tough matchups this year.

299
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna overthink, and I'll give him three stars

300
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 4: if he goes. And then the wide receivers. I mentioned

301
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 4: that single high safety coverage that Jordan Love plays better against,

302
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 4: and that a lot of the reason for that is

303
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 4: because Christian Watson. He just absolutely goes crazy against single high.

304
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 4: Not only have the Ravens given up the fifth most

305
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 4: fantasy points to perimeter wide receivers over the last four weeks,

306
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 4: that's the third highest, they also play the third highest

307
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 4: rate of single high safety coverage plays right into Watson's strengths.

308
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 4: You compare Watson's twenty six percent target right against single

309
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 4: high versus his twenty percent against too high, and his

310
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 4: two point five yards per route run versus his two

311
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 4: point one yards per rout run against too high. So

312
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 4: even if Love doesn't go, I think it's a slight

313
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 4: downgrade to Watson, you know, with Malik Willis behind center,

314
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 4: But I'm still taking my chances with Watson either way,

315
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,360
Speaker 4: So I'm give him three stars. If if Jordan Love

316
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 4: plays two stars otherwise and cam Roo Dubbs come through

317
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 4: this week like he did last week, is really tough

318
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 4: to trust man, honestly, like I'm gonna give him a

319
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 4: reluctant two stars even though he was able to do

320
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 4: his thing last week. And as far as the tight

321
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 4: end position goes, you can't really go there. Luke Muskave

322
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 4: is leading that pack right now, but not fantasy relevant

323
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 4: at the moment, all.

324
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 2: Right, with fantasy relevant at the moment, and if you're

325
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 2: checking us out in Week seventeen, that means you're Fantasy

326
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 2: relevant as well. We are just getting started right here.

327
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 2: Fantasy Football Weekly Championship Week. Addition, you'll got plenty more

328
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 2: go getting to the Sunday slate, including our Sunday Night

329
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 2: Football Showdown, Fantasy Football Weekly presenting by iHeartRadio, Backup and

330
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 2: at Him Week seventeen, Fantasy Football Weekly Corey Boston, and

331
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 2: Fantasy Executive Rock and Rolling with the team. Let's get

332
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 2: ready for the rest of the Sunday slate, getting ready

333
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: to break down these matchups in Week seventeen, and we

334
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 2: go to Buffalo for which should be a very interesting

335
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 2: interconference battle.

336
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,479
Speaker 1: Could be a possible Super.

337
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 2: Bowl preview as a Philadelphia Eagles travel to Buffalo to

338
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 2: take on the Bills. John my Man, what's up with

339
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 2: the Philadelphia Eagles in this game?

340
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 3: Well, right off the bat, this was one of the

341
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 3: games I really stuck out tough because when I heard

342
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 3: Philly's at Buffalo, I was thinking, potential shootout. Doesn't seem

343
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 3: to be the case. Philly ten wins only have a

344
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 3: twenty one point team total and the game total is

345
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,200
Speaker 3: only forty three and a half, so we're expecting some weather.

346
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 3: But it doesn't even seem definite. So it's worth keeping

347
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 3: iron right, you have to keep an eye on the

348
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 3: weather whatever it's affecting these game totals. But I don't

349
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 3: know if a messa. We've seen it far as the

350
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 3: Eagles go. They're so talented, they're always gonna make somebody

351
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 3: mad because if they could do it in so many ways,

352
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,359
Speaker 3: right if Hurts is running it in, then it's not

353
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 3: going to Barkley. But he's got to get a strong

354
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 3: three stars. Right now, he's really closing out very strong.

355
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 3: At least twenty touches in three straight. He's been the

356
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 3: overall RB eight since Week fourteen. We could get Lean

357
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 3: Johnson back. He hasn't practiced, but they have been targeting

358
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 3: this weekend. I don't know if it's maybe a seasonal

359
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 3: reference here, but I wrote you have to steal from

360
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 3: Peter to pay Pole because that's what happens if you're

361
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 3: gonna run a lot that you're gonna lose in the

362
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 3: passing game. Right, You got Devanta Smith AJ Brown. Can

363
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 3: you really bench these guys? Devanta's the wide receiver eighteen,

364
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 3: AJB the wide receiver nine. I don't think you could

365
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 3: bench him. I got two stars of both of them,

366
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 3: and I think you just have to go with it.

367
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 3: The matchup is what it is. AJ's got ten targets

368
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 3: of more and five of the last six. Devanta has

369
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,639
Speaker 3: eight targets of more and four of the last five,

370
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 3: and I don't think you could pass that opportunity. And

371
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 3: it probably extends to Goddard at least strong two stars.

372
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 3: Can't sit him overall tight end six regards what you

373
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 3: think of the matchup. He two top five finishes in

374
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 3: the last three weeks, and he's even earning a couple

375
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 3: of slot targets a game. He has nine red zone

376
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 3: touchdown so he's involved in a layup stuff and some

377
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 3: high value stuff. You gotta roll him out there. It

378
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 3: goes for her, so kind of the broken record overall

379
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 3: QB four. It doesn't really feel like it, but that's

380
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 3: what you get because he could run it. Four top

381
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 3: ten finishes in the last five weeks, nearly thirty rushing

382
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,480
Speaker 3: yards a game. He's eight rushing TDS. Can't get over

383
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 3: that stuff. I think the answer here is probably the

384
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 3: Buffalo defense. Maybe that's what the market is waiting for.

385
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 3: They've been a bit of a run funnel the last

386
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 3: two months. They're lasted rush EPA bottom three in yards

387
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 3: per contact, yards after contact explosive rush rate. Joey Bosa

388
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 3: full practice should return. They're already without ed alv DT,

389
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 3: Daequon Jones is out DT, Jordan Phillip is out, and

390
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 3: Jordan Poyer is out. I'm a little bit surprised that

391
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 3: the twenty one team total. I'm starting my Eagles if

392
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 3: you can't tell, and I'm kind of over the team total.

393
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 3: I think they get us there, but the market at

394
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 3: least would be telling us to maybe not expect thirty

395
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,080
Speaker 3: points plus. But we know Buffalo can get you to

396
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 3: throw shootouts.

397
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 2: Let me ask you the dudes that took Saquon Barkley

398
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,400
Speaker 2: early in the first round, are they playing this weekend?

399
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 3: I mean you could be. Remember, if you make the

400
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 3: right picks in the right ads, I think you can

401
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 3: overcome any one pick. I really do believe that. I

402
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 3: know this season. You know they say it's a marathon,

403
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 3: it feels like it goes as fast as a sprint.

404
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 3: But no, Corey, I think you can make up for

405
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 3: any one pick. But if you miss on your second pick,

406
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 3: you gotta be pretty darn good the rest of the way.

407
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: Matt Lamarka to Buffalo Bills, what have we got?

408
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, well, certainly if you needed Saquon the past

409
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 6: few weeks, he's gotten the job done for you. So

410
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 6: any teams that were on the bubble I think have

411
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 6: completely forgiven Saquon Barkley. And as for the potential touchdown

412
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 6: or the potential Super.

413
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 7: Bowl preview that I don't know.

414
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 6: Man, the Bills. The path is as clear for the

415
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 6: Bills as it's been in years. So it's a big

416
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 6: year for them, and it's a big year for their quarterback.

417
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 6: Josh Allen, who I am giving four stars in this matchup.

418
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 6: There's really not much to say about Josh Allen. He

419
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 6: can go for fifty points every time he takes the field.

420
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 6: Is this a ideal matchup for him? No, the Eagles

421
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 6: are expected to get Jalen carter back in this contest,

422
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 6: but there's just no world where you're not riding with

423
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 6: Josh Allen if you have him. James Cook kind of

424
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 6: the same thing, but I did only give him three stars.

425
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 6: With carter back, I think that this isn't a great matchup,

426
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 6: but he is the Bill's best skill position player. The

427
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 6: thing with Cook is he is a bit feast or

428
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 6: famine right. He can be the RB one overall or

429
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 6: he can finish outside the top twenty. I think he's

430
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 6: a bit more volatile than you know the true stud

431
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 6: running backs in fantasy. So I did ding him one

432
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 6: star for that, but he is still a clear starter.

433
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 6: Wide receiver Khalil Shakir is kind of the only game

434
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 6: in town at the position. I think you can use

435
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,679
Speaker 6: him as a wide receiver three or a flex. I

436
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 6: gave him two stars. He's not seeing as many routes

437
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 6: as he did early in the year, which is concerning

438
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 6: the route participation is down to just sixty one percent

439
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 6: last week, but he did grab a twenty eight percent

440
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 6: target share in that contest thirty six percent targets per

441
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 6: route run, so he's still getting involved even if he

442
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,479
Speaker 6: isn't on the field quite as much. Not a huge ceiling,

443
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 6: but a decent floor, so I think he is still usable.

444
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 6: And then tight end is going to be a wait

445
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 6: and see kind of approach. Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox

446
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 6: both not practicing to start the week. Both guys look

447
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 6: like they might be heading towards questionable designations. If they're

448
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 6: both out, Jackson Hawes becomes the next guy up at

449
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 6: tight end. I would not be looking to stream him

450
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 6: against the Eagles. King Kid and Knox also kind of

451
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 6: look like one star guys if they are both in

452
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 6: the lineup, But if one plays and the other doesn't,

453
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:20,239
Speaker 6: you could potentially talk yourself into a streaming option. King

454
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 6: Kaid is the best player of the bunch, so if

455
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 6: Knox is out and he is going to be on

456
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 6: the field more and earn a few more routes, I

457
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 6: could see him certainly being a starting option versus the Eagles.

458
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: And good stuff right there.

459
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 2: Let's get on to our next match up, another big

460
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 2: time showdown. Seattle Seahawks travel to Carolina take on the Panthers.

461
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 2: The Panthers have been very good this season at home,

462
00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 2: and Seattle's just been very good this season for Roz

463
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 2: break down the Seahawks for us.

464
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 4: You know, Sam Darnold, you know, kind of up and

465
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 4: down all year, but in terms of you know, per

466
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 4: play efficiency, like he's up there with the top quarterbacks

467
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 4: this year. Whether it's single high, too high, man covered

468
00:22:58,280 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 4: zone coverage, it doesn't even matter.

469
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 5: He's been ballin.

470
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 4: And now you know, in terms of whether to start

471
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 4: him or not, you know, if you really need someone maybe,

472
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,320
Speaker 4: you know in a deeper league, obviously in a two

473
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 4: quarterback league, definitely, you know, as a QB two. You know,

474
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 4: Carolina hasn't been super giving to the quarterback position. You know,

475
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 4: over the last six seven weeks, the Panthers have held

476
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford to only thirteen Fantasy points, Brock Purty to

477
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 4: ten fantasy points, Jordan Love to ten Fantasy points. So

478
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 4: not the ideal streaming candidate this week. So I'm gonna

479
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 4: give Donald two stars, you know, because, like I said,

480
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 4: just so efficient against any type of coverage and given

481
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 4: all the single high coverage Carolina plays and the amount

482
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 4: of zone they play as well, that's kind of more

483
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 4: up Sam's alley. So I wouldn't be surprised if he

484
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,160
Speaker 4: can give you a solid game, but you know, obviously

485
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 4: prefer him as a solid start as a QB two

486
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 4: in those types of leagues. Kenneth Walker man, you know,

487
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 4: of course, and so many of us can trust them,

488
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 4: and you know he was on a lot of benches

489
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 4: last week. He ends up going off, you know, twenty

490
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 4: five fantasy points, but nothing about his role actually changed. Name,

491
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 4: same snapshare as the week before, under fifty percent, very

492
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 4: similar rush attempt share, very similar participation. And you know,

493
00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 4: you could get seduced by the matchup here. And you

494
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,119
Speaker 4: know he's a talented back, so he can take one

495
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 4: to the house at any point. But he hasn't had

496
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 4: a goal line carry since Week twelve, so you're really

497
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 4: depending on the big play here. The matchup is good though.

498
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 4: Right Carolina is allowing five point two yards per carry

499
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 4: over the last four games. That's fourth highest in that span,

500
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 4: the eighth most Fantasy points per game, giving up to

501
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,159
Speaker 4: you know this year to running backs.

502
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 5: The trust right here is the biggest factor for me.

503
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 4: Right, So I feel like I'd be setting myself up

504
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 4: for disappointment if I did start him. Only two stars

505
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:39,880
Speaker 4: for Kenneth Walker this week from me, and then JSN

506
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 4: Man four stars easily absolute stud You know, Panthers have

507
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 4: actually given up the seventh most Fantasy points per game

508
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 4: over the last four weeks. Not that you even needed

509
00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 4: that piece of information. When it comes to JSN right,

510
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 4: you're starting him.

511
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 5: No matter what.

512
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 4: Rashid Shahee didn't catch a pass last week against the Rams,

513
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,159
Speaker 4: but he did return one for a touchdown, so he

514
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 4: gave me something at least. But his rap participation actually

515
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 4: fell from eighty two percent in week fifteen to sixty

516
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 4: two percent last week. Not sure what that was about.

517
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 4: But if that's the case, you're dealing with the part

518
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 4: time wide receiver here, I'm not sure I can trust

519
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 4: that in Fantasy Championship week. So one star for Shaheed.

520
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 4: He could definitely catch one over the top, you know,

521
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 4: given this as a primarily single high defense, but I

522
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 4: don't want to trust it this week. And aj Barner

523
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 4: in streaming consideration after catching four for forty nine and

524
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 4: a touchdown last week. Not the best matchup in the world,

525
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 4: but I'd give him two stars, you know, for him

526
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 4: to be in consideration as a streamer. Panthers argument the

527
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 4: love with most receiving yards to the position, So a

528
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,199
Speaker 4: little glimmer of hope there for aj Barner.

529
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 2: All right, John, what do we have on the Carolina

530
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 2: Panthers side of the football?

531
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: Is they look to really wrap up the division? How

532
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: about that?

533
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 3: Yeah? I would have never believed that coming in. They

534
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 3: did the same thing last season. Maybe Bryce s Young

535
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 3: is like a second half player, or you know, Canalis

536
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 3: is a second half I don't know. I think he

537
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 3: gotta start Dowdle. I mean, the Panthers have just an

538
00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 3: eighteen point teen total. That's a huge red flag, but

539
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 3: I think you gotta start him. Sixty five percent of

540
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 3: the running back touches and fourteen percent of the team

541
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 3: target share since the week fourteen, by that's the utilization

542
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 3: that gets you started in fantasy. Hubbard is gonna continue

543
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 3: to be a thorn in the side, though he's had

544
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 3: fewer than ten touches in two straight and only getting

545
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 3: one target per game. This sounds very similar to the

546
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 3: Chargers right where it's just a little bit more than

547
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 3: we'd like to give off from our RB one, and

548
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 3: then when you combine it with a tough matchup, it

549
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 3: kind of reduces the ceiling for everybody, makes the whole

550
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 3: thing really unpalatable. I think he start Dowdle. I would

551
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,880
Speaker 3: not start Hubbard at all. Seattle hasn't allowed a single

552
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 3: running back to go over ninety two yards. They're actually

553
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 3: number one in Fantasy points allowed to the position wide receivers.

554
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 3: I think you have to start Tet anytime the Panthers

555
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 3: are in underdog. He's the overall wide receiver fourteen. He's

556
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 3: had at least eight targets nine times. We love that

557
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 3: twenty three percent target are route. Just shy of two

558
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 3: yards are route. All those kind of big time wide

559
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 3: receiver one boxes. Those are a year to date numbers.

560
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,479
Speaker 3: Cocker is starting to pop up Jalen Coker from the slot.

561
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 3: I got one star. He's like a flex desperation play again,

562
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 3: they're gonna be playing from behind. He'said at least four

563
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 3: targets in six straight. Seattle plays a lot of too

564
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 3: high stuff, though you do get a lot of five dB.

565
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 3: Their slot corner is good and if the matchup might

566
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,919
Speaker 3: disallow that, but again, if you're desperate, you might get

567
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 3: a bit of a floor. That's been the way to

568
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 3: get to Seattle. They've given up seven catches for over

569
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 3: seventy yards a game to the slot tight end zero

570
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 3: star forget it. Sanders, Trembull, and Evans are all kind

571
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 3: of self emmilating their QB. Bryshaw And we mentioned for

572
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 3: me it's a one star. I wouldn't start him talk

573
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 3: about all or none. He has three top five overall

574
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 3: finishes and nine of them outside of the top twenty.

575
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 3: To me, that's not going to get it done. It's

576
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 3: matchup dependent for me. And you know, I love my

577
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,119
Speaker 3: front seven Cory, so whenever I have three elite players,

578
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 3: to me, that kind of resonates Ernest Jones, DeMarcus Lawrence,

579
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 3: and Leonard Williams. And I'm always shouting, Mike big Man.

580
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:02,560
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna create a lot of problems for

581
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 3: the Panthers. I don't think they're gonna be able to

582
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 3: get it on Alex Seattle there on Sunday.

583
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,199
Speaker 2: Excuse me, interesting, I'm on the opposite side of that

584
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 2: one right there. I like Carolina to get it done

585
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 2: and get the upset victory, but that's neither here nor there.

586
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 2: All right, all right, still got plenty of action, plenty

587
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 2: of games to get into, plenty of fantasy analysis to

588
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 2: break down, including matchup between the Bears and forty nine

589
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 2: Ers and the Jacksonville Jaguars in the Indianapolis Coast. We

590
00:28:29,680 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 2: rock and roll through Fantasy Football Weekly, getting it gun

591
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 2: and now first our Fantasy Football Weekly, Let's get right

592
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 2: back into the action. Big time Sunday night football matchup

593
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 2: Chicago Bears at San Francisco forty nine is also could

594
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 2: be a potential playoff preview. Matt, you have the honors,

595
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 2: mister Lamarka of getting us started with the Chicago Bears

596
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 2: siut of the football.

597
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 6: Yeah, and this looks like one of the best games

598
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 6: of the week for fantasy purposes. John kind of alluded

599
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 6: to it earlier. This time of the year, weather becomes

600
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 6: a real concern. As someone who lives on Long Island

601
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 6: and is expecting eight inches of snow overnight, you don't

602
00:29:41,080 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 6: have to worry about that in California, particularly in the

603
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 6: Bay Area. This game should be high scoring, no real

604
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 6: weather concerns. Fifty two point five point total. It makes

605
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 6: this a game to target for sure. That makes Caleb

606
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 6: Williams a two star play. For me, he could be

607
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 6: even considered a three star quarterback. I think he's right

608
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 6: around QB ten or so in my personal rankings forty nine.

609
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 6: Ers defense is gettable they're twenty third, and pass defense EPA.

610
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 6: They're allowing the ninth most fantasy points per game to

611
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 6: the position. Williams hasn't really shown off his ceiling of late,

612
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 6: but I think he is a clear starter this week.

613
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 6: Both Chicago running backs to me, DeAndre Swift and Kyle

614
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 6: mcnungary are also going to be two star plays. The

615
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 6: Bears have become increasingly more run heavy down the stretch,

616
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 6: which is why we haven't seen as big of a

617
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 6: ceiling from Caleb Williams. Swift is the guy who is

618
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 6: getting most of the work. He's at fifty eight percent

619
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 6: of the team's carries over the past two weeks. Maung

620
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 6: Guy has been at thirty eight percent, but Manung Guy's

621
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 6: making up for it by being a little bit more

622
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 6: involved as a pass catcher and getting the majority of

623
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 6: the goal line touches. He has one hundred percent of

624
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 6: the inside the five carries over their past two games.

625
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 6: So I viewed both guys pretty evenly. I think they

626
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 6: are both you know en RB twos or high end

627
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 6: type of flex plays, but I think both guys have

628
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 6: some appeal in this matchup at wide receiver. The Bears

629
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 6: are pretty banged up. Roma Dunese officially just ruled out

630
00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 6: he is not going to be able to go, but

631
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,720
Speaker 6: the good news is that Luther Burden will be back.

632
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:23,480
Speaker 6: So Luther Burden missed last week. In his two games

633
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 6: before sitting out, he had a twenty one percent target

634
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 6: share in week fourteen twenty seven percent mark in Week fifteen.

635
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 6: I think when you add in all the things I

636
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 6: mentioned about this being a good game environment, Luther Burden

637
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 6: is a usable player. He's a two star play and

638
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 6: DJ Moore has ascended to three star territory. For me,

639
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 6: he is back to being a dependable fantasy asset, something

640
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 6: we saw for him for many years in the past.

641
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 6: Roughly twenty two PPR points and back to back games.

642
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 6: The underlying utilization numbers aren't ideal, but he does have

643
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 6: at least forty two percent of the team's air yards

644
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 6: in back to back games, so I'm willing to uh

645
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 6: to go with more here. As a solid wide receiver too,

646
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 6: He's a three star option for me. I'm also giving

647
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 6: Colston Loveland two stars a tight end. He has ascended

648
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 6: to the number one tight end spot in Chicago eighty

649
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 6: two percent route participation last week. He's got an eighteen

650
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 6: percent target share over his past five games. It hasn't

651
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 6: led to a ton of huge fantasy performances, but the

652
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,200
Speaker 6: role I think is there. He is a low end,

653
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 6: you know, tight end one for fantasy purposes. I think

654
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 6: you can definitely use him this week.

655
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 2: All right for raz San Francisco forty nine is I mean,

656
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 2: I feel like the fantasy assets on the forty nine

657
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 2: is a pretty you know, cutting stone. No real surprises here,

658
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 2: but you may have something for me in week seventeen.

659
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 1: What do you got?

660
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, And you know it's really all about some guys

661
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 4: kind of in and out of the lineup. With's some

662
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 4: injuries too, so we'll kind of get into that. But

663
00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 4: brock Perdy, he's getting back into this rhythm, man like

664
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 4: after coming out of his buy in Week fourteen. Finishes

665
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 4: the QB three and then the QB one. He threw

666
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 4: almost six hundred yards and eight touchdowns over the last

667
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 4: two games, and he's going to be looking to add

668
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 4: to that touchdown total. This week against the Chicago defense

669
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,959
Speaker 4: tied for the third most passing touchdowns given up. So

670
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 4: I'm gonna call Party four star playing this week. I

671
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 4: think he's going to be He's actually going to go off,

672
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 4: Like Matt was saying, this is a high scoring game, potential,

673
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:30,400
Speaker 4: good weather has all, you know, everything you need for

674
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 4: Party to get it done. And then Christian McCaffrey of

675
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 4: course four stars as well. Not much as say here.

676
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 4: The Bears have been way better defending running backs lately,

677
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 4: but it really doesn't matter as.

678
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 5: You can start in Christian McCaffrey either way.

679
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 4: And the wide receiver position, you know, might be where

680
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 4: it gets tricky, but not all that tricky. You know,

681
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 4: seven touchdowns over the last seven games for Juwan Jennings.

682
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 4: He'll be looking to make it eight against Chicago. Against

683
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 4: the Chicago defense tied for giving up the second most

684
00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,880
Speaker 4: touchdowns to wide receivers this year. They've allowed a six

685
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 4: most fantasy points to wide receivers and the eighth most

686
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 4: over the last four weeks, and Jennings, you know, he'll

687
00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 4: likely stay away from Jalen Johnson's side. He runs closest

688
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 4: seventy percent of his routes either you know from the

689
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 4: left perimeter or the slot, so not too worried about that.

690
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 4: Ricky pearsall plays like we could see an effect on

691
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 4: Jennings target share because Pearson was kind of the guy

692
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 4: that party was looking for the entire game, you know,

693
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 4: before he got you know, banned up late in the game.

694
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 4: But still, you know, Jennings is on a role. He's

695
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 4: still probably going to be the guy that he looks for,

696
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,760
Speaker 4: you know, in the red zone. So given him three stars,

697
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 4: and you know, with Pierstall, if he plays, I'm giving

698
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:43,479
Speaker 4: him two stars in this matchup. But obviously with some

699
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 4: you know, some potential to get red that that those

700
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 4: injuries reaggravated again. So a little bit risky there when

701
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 4: it comes to the tight end position. George Kittle is

702
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 4: a game time decision. So just remember that they play

703
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 4: on Sunday night. So if you have him, you know,

704
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,799
Speaker 4: just grab Jake Tod just just in case, throw him

705
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 4: on you bench, you know, in case Kittle can't go,

706
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 4: so you have an easy replacement right there. Chicago's giving

707
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,359
Speaker 4: up the eighth most receptions per game the tight ends

708
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 4: this year, you know, pretty much a neutral matchup otherwise

709
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,759
Speaker 4: across the board, Kittle will be a four star player

710
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 4: play if he goes, hopefully not reaggravating that ankle injury.

711
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,359
Speaker 4: I'm knocking on wood as we speak, and then Tom

712
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 4: just would get two stars as a solid streaming option

713
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 4: if Kittle can't go.

714
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 2: Next matchup that we have on the Sunday slate, the

715
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 2: breakdown is the game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the

716
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 2: Indianapolis Colts. When it comes to Indianapolis Coats, it was

717
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:37,000
Speaker 2: all good just a week ago, but uh, Indiana Jones

718
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 2: and the team fell off very quickly. Jacksonville though, looking

719
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:44,399
Speaker 2: real strong john going into the postseason. But can they

720
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 2: help because any of their fantasy assets help you win

721
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 2: a championship this weekend.

722
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 3: And what a difference month can make. Legendary fall off

723
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 3: of the Colts. It just happened sometimes injuries at the

724
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:58,359
Speaker 3: wrong time, at the wrong places. So I was going

725
00:35:58,400 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 3: to say at the right time, in the right place,

726
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 3: but just the opposite, can just you know, cripple here

727
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 3: from the top down, it's been like that. Let's go

728
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 3: with Jacksonville though eleven wins, twenty eight point team total

729
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 3: on a fast track. So similar to what Matt was

730
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 3: saying before, I think it's important to identify to isolate

731
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:19,359
Speaker 3: the potentially high scoring games. Forty and a half point

732
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:21,760
Speaker 3: total is where you want to be. Starts with ATN.

733
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 3: Got to give him a strong three stars. This is

734
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 3: kind of funny. He's the RB six overall since their

735
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 3: Week nine by despite a three point seven yard per

736
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 3: carry and one point six yard per out. You're like,

737
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 3: what is this guy doing? And it just goes to

738
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,240
Speaker 3: show you if you get the high value touches, that'll

739
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 3: do it. No baseial tooton is gonna help. He'said at

740
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 3: least four targets and two straight, so he's getting either

741
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,840
Speaker 3: further incorporated into the pass game, he's getting all the

742
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 3: goal to go stuff. So it's wheels up for ATN

743
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 3: wide receiver roommate. Adding Jacoby Myers was such a boost

744
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:55,359
Speaker 3: for the Liam Cohen offense finding a piece that can

745
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 3: go over the middle. Adam not in Brian Thomas's head,

746
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 3: but it appears to be what's going on in the tape.

747
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,360
Speaker 3: He just whether he's afraid or he got hurt, he

748
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 3: stopped challenging over the middle, and Marius is no problem

749
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 3: going over the middle. Lawrence likes to go there. Cohen

750
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,760
Speaker 3: likes to draw it up. Jacoby Mayers strong three stars.

751
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 3: He's the overall wide receiver thirteen. Since week eleven, twenty

752
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 3: three percent target p route just under two yards were out.

753
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 3: Again those wide receiver one numbers. Then to Parker Washington. Now,

754
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 3: I think this is more of a matchup base play.

755
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,879
Speaker 3: We saw him just spike, but I think the way

756
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 3: that Indianapolis plays stylistically, you know, you get a lot

757
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:35,680
Speaker 3: of man stuff and those source. Gardner is probably returning

758
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 3: he did practice for the first time. Tavarius Ward is out.

759
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 3: Also the other side, Chris Lammon's the starting quarterback, is

760
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 3: gonna be out, so I think they're gonna struggle with that.

761
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 3: And park has been really great against man. Twenty seven

762
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 3: percent target pro route almost three and a half yards

763
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 3: were out run against man coverage. That leads BTJ. He's

764
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 3: really deep shot dependent, I wrote, because again versus man,

765
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 3: they will go to him when they see man on

766
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 3: man one off coverage. He is a twenty three to

767
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,319
Speaker 3: a dot, so it's all or nothing with him. Then

768
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 3: Britton Strange in the tight end position. I think it's

769
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,839
Speaker 3: two stars, but I'm kind of reticent. Six targets two

770
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 3: of the last three. He's three top ten finishes in

771
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 3: the last five. But it feels like the flour games

772
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 3: or a zero, so I guess it could be there.

773
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 3: If you're chasing the totals. Rivers, someone's probably made the

774
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 3: old man Rivers joke. It's bad. He looks old, he

775
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 3: looks fat, but he got it done one time out

776
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 3: of two. Remember that floor in the first game. You

777
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 3: could see it again. Indid last six giving up the

778
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 3: most plays in the league, second most yards per game.

779
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 3: That's trusts out other four hundred. I think there are

780
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,480
Speaker 3: a lot of trouble. The Forest Buckner is gonna be

781
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 3: out again. He hurt his neck and again I mention

782
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 3: all the injuries in the secondary should be wheels up.

783
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:44,280
Speaker 3: Jacksonville could get over thirty. They're probably a good pop

784
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:45,880
Speaker 3: for the high scoring team this weekend.

785
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,839
Speaker 1: All right, Matt, Indianapolis coach, What do we got?

786
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 3: Brother?

787
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 6: I mean, John needs to put some more respect on

788
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 6: Philip Rivers' names. Personally, I think he looks great for

789
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 6: a literal grand five.

790
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,320
Speaker 3: I called him fat. It takes one to no one.

791
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 6: I mean, he's forty four years old. He's got ten kids,

792
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 6: I think, and grandchildren. The fact that he is even

793
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 6: able to get out on the field after coming straight

794
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 6: off the couch and has hair. He's got my respect.

795
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 6: That said, I want nothing to do with him for

796
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 6: fantasy purposes. He's a one star play. He did as

797
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 6: John said. He had sixteen point one fantasy points last week.

798
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:31,320
Speaker 6: He was QB seventeen for fantasy purposes, But no chance

799
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 6: I am trusting him against a competent Jaguars defense. Jonathan

800
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,120
Speaker 6: Taylor if you had asked me the last time I

801
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:40,799
Speaker 6: was on the show, he would have been a clear

802
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 6: four star play. But the production just really has not

803
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 6: been there for him. And all season we have kind

804
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:51,319
Speaker 6: of talked about how Jonathan Taylor is a throwback at

805
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 6: running back.

806
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 7: He does not catch a ton.

807
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 6: Of passes out of the backfield, but he is live

808
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 6: to go off for something like two hundred plus rushing

809
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:02,919
Speaker 6: yards touchdowns every single game. Turns out, it's a lot

810
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 6: harder to do that when you have a forty four

811
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 6: year old quarterback that defenses don't respect. So you look, now,

812
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 6: five straight games he's finished outside the top twelve at

813
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 6: the position. I don't really view him as an RB

814
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 6: one at this point. It's kind of crazy to say

815
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 6: I think he is more of a high end RB

816
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,400
Speaker 6: two or you know, a low end RB one, but

817
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 6: he's not a slam dunk at this point.

818
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 7: So three stars for.

819
00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 6: Him and all of the Rivers pass catchers are just

820
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 6: impossible to trust right now.

821
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 7: Josh Downs has.

822
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 6: The best target share of the receiving cor twenty two

823
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 6: percent in the two Rivers games. Pittman's at seventeen percent,

824
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:46,400
Speaker 6: Alec Pierce eight percent. So Pierce popped off for the

825
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 6: two touchdown game last week. That's a complete mirage. I

826
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,920
Speaker 6: would not trust that at all. He's a one star play.

827
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 6: I think if I had to start any of these guys,

828
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,760
Speaker 6: it would probably be Josh Downs. He's got double digit

829
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 6: PPR points in both games with Rivers, but all of

830
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 6: the receivers are one star guys and Tyler Warren. I

831
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 6: will give him a second start just out of respect

832
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 6: for his talent and what he has done earlier this season.

833
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 6: He's also got a twenty three percent target share in

834
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 6: the two games with Rivers, but again, I would not

835
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 6: feel like he is a must start, similarly to how

836
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 6: I would have you know just a month ago. So

837
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 6: the only guy on the on the Colts that you

838
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:25,880
Speaker 6: really have to play is Jonathan Taylor, and honestly, you

839
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 6: can't even feel all that great about it.

840
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 3: Excuse me one second, my man, everyone I mentioned rivers,

841
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,719
Speaker 3: I had my notes flipped originally, Obviously, t law you

842
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 3: gotta start him. He's like the start this week. He's

843
00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 3: a top two quarterback each of the last two weeks.

844
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 3: But my bad, everyone, of Like, when I first started,

845
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 3: I had covered Indianapolis well, and I came to a

846
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 3: lot of the same conclusion that you did, that you

847
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,879
Speaker 3: have to start Taylor for volume. Maybe I just wanted

848
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 3: to squeeze in an old man, fat man joke, but yeah,

849
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 3: you have to start Trevor Lawrence. Right, Obviously I didn't

850
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 3: want to let that one slide by. He's been carrying

851
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 3: it and he's running in the red zone and all

852
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 3: the great stuff that we love, plus the hair.

853
00:41:57,640 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: Come on, Sunshine, all right?

854
00:42:01,200 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 3: Right, oh, come on? Has there ever been a better

855
00:42:03,520 --> 00:42:05,919
Speaker 3: like fac simile? Ever? There's never been one?

856
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:11,640
Speaker 2: Yo, I mean listen, Sunshine could play Trevor Lawrence in

857
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 2: the Trevor Lawrence movie All vice versa. Here's the interesting

858
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 2: thing though about the Colts quarterback situation. They have a

859
00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 2: quarterback in Anthony registering that they took very high in

860
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 2: the draft and he can't get on the field over

861
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 2: Phil Rivers, who is, like Matt said, a literal granddad.

862
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 1: That's wild right there. I believe.

863
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like to believe that the orbital bone was

864
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,839
Speaker 3: a really bad break and they're afraid of a refracture

865
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,399
Speaker 3: if his head were to hit the floor, because if

866
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,520
Speaker 3: he was healthy and he were not going with him,

867
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 3: that's a tremendous that's a tremendous red flag.

868
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 6: It'll be interesting to see because there's a chance that

869
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 6: the Colts, depending on what happens on Saturday in that

870
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 6: Chargers game, there's a chance the Colts are eliminated from

871
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 6: playoff content before they play on Sunday, So it will

872
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 6: be interesting to see if maybe they then choose to

873
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 6: go with a Riley Leonard. I'm not sure if he is,

874
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 6: if that's something that they're really considering, But once they're eliminated,

875
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 6: I do think that the Philip Rivers experience probably comes to.

876
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 2: God, yeah, I'm pretty sure. But Phil Rivers pushing this

877
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame clockback. Shout out to him, because most

878
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 2: people would just sit on the couch and go ahead

879
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:26,040
Speaker 2: and do that.

880
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 1: One hour in the books, Another hour to goo.

881
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 2: Week seventeen Fantasy Football Weekly Championship Edition.

882
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back our number two Fantasy Football Weekly.

883
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 2: Corey Parson, the Fantasy executive, along with Faraz Sadiki, John Legaza,

884
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:11,239
Speaker 2: and Matt Lamarca holding it down for Brian Johnson, want

885
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 2: to thank everybody for rocking with us.

886
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 1: If you are listening now, it's a good time to good.

887
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 2: It's probably a good sign that you are in the

888
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 2: Fantasy Football Championship. Congratulations to you for making it this fall,

889
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,440
Speaker 2: and we want to get you even further. We want

890
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 2: to get you that crown. Also if you're playing If

891
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 2: you're in one of those leagues, but your championship is

892
00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:32,200
Speaker 2: in week eighteen, well we'll be here for you too.

893
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 2: You probably shouldn't play in that league any longer. But

894
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 2: that is neither here nor there. Let's get back to

895
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,800
Speaker 2: the analysis. We go to our game on Monday Night Football.

896
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:45,240
Speaker 2: This is the game that will determine who your fantasy

897
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 2: champion will be, and it is the Los Angeles Rams

898
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 2: traveling to Atlanta to take on the Falcons. Faras the

899
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:57,280
Speaker 2: Rams or the assignment that you drew for this contest.

900
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,759
Speaker 4: Yes, and just before I get to that, you just

901
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 4: want to mention that Jordan Love has been ruled out,

902
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 4: so it's going to be Malik Willis at quarterback. So

903
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 4: downgrade the offense a bit, not by a whole lot,

904
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 4: you know, still starting Josh Jacobs, still kind of reluctantly

905
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 4: started Christian Watson, but I think it's a good matchup

906
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:17,440
Speaker 4: for him, So I think that's how I would play that.

907
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 4: But back to the Rams. You know, even without DeVante

908
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 4: Adams Man, Matthew Stafford just slinging it. You know, he

909
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 4: and Sean McVay were in their bag against Seattle. You know,

910
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 4: Stafford threw for four hundred and fifty seven yards and

911
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 4: three touchdowns. So I would keep riding that momentum. The

912
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 4: Falcons have allowed the twelfth most Fantasy points to quarterbacks

913
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:38,200
Speaker 4: over the last four weeks.

914
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 5: Stafford's a four star play this week.

915
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,399
Speaker 4: And then at the running back position, Karen Williams still

916
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 4: the play in the Rams backfield, but Blake korm is

917
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 4: going to continue to be involved, and these two are

918
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 4: going to continue to rotate. Over the last four weeks,

919
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 4: they've split inside the five attempts exactly down the middle

920
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 4: fifty to fifty.

921
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,319
Speaker 5: Korm has been a top twenty four back for four

922
00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:58,040
Speaker 5: straight weeks.

923
00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 4: Karen finished as a top ten back twice, but outside

924
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:05,120
Speaker 4: the top twenty twice as well. But the matchup's pretty solid.

925
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 4: The Falcons are giving up over four and a half

926
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:10,399
Speaker 4: yards per carry this season to running backs as well

927
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 4: as over the last four weeks as well. So this

928
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 4: room here for both backs and the Rams are the

929
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,279
Speaker 4: second highest implied team total this week. So I'm gonna

930
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 4: give both of these guys three stars and then you

931
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,320
Speaker 4: have Puka four star. Play anyway you slice it. No,

932
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 4: Devonte Adams last week thirty five percent target share overall

933
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 4: wide receiver one finish, he was the top two wide

934
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:32,239
Speaker 4: receiver each of the last three weeks. He's gonna try

935
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 4: to make this one four straight. And then at the

936
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 4: tight end position, good Leck trying to decide, you know,

937
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:40,439
Speaker 4: which Rams tight end to play. Kolby Parkinson couldn't come

938
00:46:40,440 --> 00:46:42,879
Speaker 4: through for us last week. The market was on him.

939
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 4: But you know, both he and Terence Fergus who ended

940
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 4: up catching the touchdown last week, they ran the same

941
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 4: number of routes seventy one percent rap participation for each

942
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 4: of them. Parkinson saw one more target for Ferguson's the

943
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 4: one who got into the end zone. If I had

944
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:59,280
Speaker 4: to bet on one, I might lean towards Parkinson still,

945
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 4: you know, given to deduction that we've seen from him

946
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,840
Speaker 4: earlier in the year, especially in the red zone. But Ferguson,

947
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 4: he was one of my favorite tight end prospects in

948
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 4: this past draft. You know, he's just so athletic. I

949
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 4: wouldn't be surprised if he does his thing with an

950
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 4: extra opportunity. But because of the tough matchup, I'm gonna

951
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 4: give each of them only one star. Atlanta's allowing the

952
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,759
Speaker 4: second fewest fantasy points per game to the position, the

953
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,360
Speaker 4: fewest touchdowns per game, the third fewest yards of the position,

954
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 4: and even if the Rams played mostly thirteen personnel again

955
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,520
Speaker 4: like they did last week without DeVante, it's tough to

956
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 4: say who's going to actually get the target. So I'm

957
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 4: gonna try to stay away if possible.

958
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 2: All right, John, When you look at the Atlanta Falcons,

959
00:47:34,680 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 2: another disappointing season, but they do have some fantasy assets

960
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 2: that could help you this week.

961
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's funny now, all of a sudden, Kirk Cousins

962
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 3: actually looks okay that whole situation was kind of crazy.

963
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 3: Maybe we'll talk about it in the offseason, right to

964
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 3: pay him the big money and then bring in the

965
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,839
Speaker 3: rookie Evach go South. The old man doesn't look great now,

966
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,479
Speaker 3: maybe he does if they can have a controversy going forward.

967
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:58,240
Speaker 3: Who knows Atlanta has a twenty one point team total.

968
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 3: I'm not sure how they get there. That Rams defense

969
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 3: can be tough. Maybe it'll be some garbage time back door.

970
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:06,680
Speaker 3: But Bijon, of course you're starting him no matter wa

971
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 3: four stars. Of course, he's the overall RB one since

972
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 3: week thirteen, five yards per carry and more than two

973
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 3: yards around one, which is just a fantastic mix. He

974
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 3: also has eight top five finishes year to date. He's

975
00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 3: all that wide receiver room. Thisten's pretty easy. Zero stars.

976
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,400
Speaker 3: He how's this for us stat There's that a single

977
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 3: top forty finish from a Falcon wide receiver with Kirk

978
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:33,040
Speaker 3: Cousins top forty, top forty. Because it's all going to

979
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:36,919
Speaker 3: Kyle Pitts. The prophecy has been fulfilled. Gentlemen, Hopefully you're

980
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 3: one of the people that were, you know, never wrong,

981
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:42,839
Speaker 3: just early on. Mister Kyle Pitts ninety five percent route

982
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 3: participation over the last month. That's crazy. Very few people

983
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:49,120
Speaker 3: get there. Wide receivers included twenty six percent targeted are

984
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 3: out almost two and a half yards for out run.

985
00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 3: That battery between Pitts and Cousins looks reliable, it looks sustainable,

986
00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:00,080
Speaker 3: and I'm rolling with that again, though, the Cousins and

987
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 3: the much lower floor one star, I wouldn't start them

988
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 3: eighty six passer eighting six and a half YPA with

989
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:09,440
Speaker 3: zero rushing upside, and then of course I'd be remiss

990
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:12,240
Speaker 3: to not represent my big men in the front seven

991
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 3: for the Rams Nate Landman Byron Young Jared Verse. That

992
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 3: trio is awesome. Now, they're a really good defense. Like

993
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 3: I mentioned, they do become a pass funnel because they're

994
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 3: always ahead and the other side has to throw. So

995
00:49:24,000 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 3: maybe we get a lot of those layups to Jon,

996
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,279
Speaker 3: layups to Pitts, and those guys could carry you even

997
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 3: if they get destroyed, because then you get a lot

998
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:34,399
Speaker 3: of sixty b too high stuff. It's all very preventative.

999
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 3: McVeigh again very good at ceiling the deal once he's ahead.

1000
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:41,000
Speaker 3: So Atlanta maybe gets enough done from behind, but I

1001
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 3: wouldn't get cute. You start the major pieces of the

1002
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:45,359
Speaker 3: trunk and then move on.

1003
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 5: All right.

1004
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 2: Our next matchup on the schedule for Sunday, Battle of

1005
00:49:51,080 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 2: Florida teams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the Miami Dolphins.

1006
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,359
Speaker 1: Big one for the Buccaneers, Matt, what do you got?

1007
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, Tampa Bay still controls their own destiny, right, they

1008
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:03,759
Speaker 6: win their final two and they're in. But I don't

1009
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 6: know how they can have any confidence in themselves. We

1010
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 6: can have any confidence in them.

1011
00:50:08,719 --> 00:50:09,520
Speaker 7: It has been.

1012
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 6: Really, really ugly over the past month or so, and

1013
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 6: that starts with Baker Mayfield twenty four sorry, twelve point

1014
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 6: four fantasy points per game over his past five outings

1015
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 6: six touchdowns to five interceptions. He just I don't know

1016
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 6: if he's hurt or what, but he does not look

1017
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,920
Speaker 6: like the same player that we really have come to

1018
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:33,320
Speaker 6: know and rely on as the quarterback of the Buffan

1019
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:35,399
Speaker 6: the Buccaneers.

1020
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 7: Still, the matchup's very good. This week.

1021
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 6: Dolphins have allowed the eighth most fantasy points per game

1022
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 6: to opposing quarterbacks. This game is also being played in Florida,

1023
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 6: as you mentioned, Corey, so it's got some of the

1024
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,840
Speaker 6: best weather of the week. The Bucks have the seventh

1025
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 6: highest implied team total. Like it would be easy to

1026
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 6: just say you can't trust the Bucks right now, but

1027
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:59,320
Speaker 6: I still think Baker Mayfield is a starting fantasy quarterback.

1028
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 6: He's somewhere round QB twelve for me right now. I

1029
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:05,240
Speaker 6: have to give him two stars. Same goes for Bucky Irving.

1030
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 6: He's a two star play. I would like to give

1031
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 6: him more, and his utilization has been okay since he's

1032
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 6: returned to the lineup, but he has just not been

1033
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:17,760
Speaker 6: very efficient three point seven yards per carry since coming back.

1034
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:20,799
Speaker 6: He's also not getting the same look in the in

1035
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:24,800
Speaker 6: the passing game that he got pre injury. Eight targets

1036
00:51:24,840 --> 00:51:28,239
Speaker 6: over his past four outings, including zero last week. He

1037
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 6: was averaging nearly five per game before getting hurt, so

1038
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 6: he's not looked like the same player. It's hard to

1039
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:37,479
Speaker 6: view him as anything other than a, you know, sort

1040
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 6: of a just a mid range RB two at this point.

1041
00:51:40,400 --> 00:51:43,880
Speaker 6: The receiving corp we've got some injury stuff that we

1042
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:46,879
Speaker 6: might need to monitor. Mike Evans and Chris Godwin were

1043
00:51:46,960 --> 00:51:48,920
Speaker 6: DMPs on Thursday.

1044
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 7: I do think Evans is clear to go.

1045
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 6: He's going to be a three star play for me,

1046
00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 6: and he has been money since coming back, thirty six

1047
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 6: percent target share since returning to the lineup, at least

1048
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 6: forty six percent of the air yards in back to

1049
00:52:01,960 --> 00:52:05,240
Speaker 6: back games. If there is anyone that you can start

1050
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 6: with some degree of confidence for Tampa Bay right now,

1051
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 6: it's gonna be Mike Evans. I think Chris Godwin is

1052
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 6: then the next man up. He would be a two

1053
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:15,799
Speaker 6: star play as long as he's good to go. His

1054
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:19,040
Speaker 6: routes have been trending upwards eighty seven percent last week,

1055
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:22,080
Speaker 6: ninety five percent the week prior, and he has been

1056
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 6: earning targets at a much more consistent pace than e

1057
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 6: Mecha Agbuka, who unfortunately we have to drop him down

1058
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:32,120
Speaker 6: to a one star play. You know, he started the

1059
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 6: year so hot, but he has just fallen off a cliff,

1060
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 6: hit the rookie wall, whatever metaphor you want to use.

1061
00:52:38,480 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 6: Fifty percent route participation last week, just an eight percent

1062
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 6: target share. He is not in the fantasy discussion at

1063
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:48,840
Speaker 6: the At the moment, Jalen McMillan also a one star play,

1064
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:51,839
Speaker 6: and then same goes for Kadot and one star. He's

1065
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:56,280
Speaker 6: simply just not relevant when this receiving corps is close

1066
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 6: to full strength.

1067
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 1: Matt, What do you do with Buca in drafts next year?

1068
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, it'll be interesting to see what happens

1069
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 6: with the Tampa Bay wide receiver corps this offseason. I

1070
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 6: do still view him as a very high end prospect.

1071
00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:16,640
Speaker 6: I would be looking to take him. You know, it's

1072
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 6: again it's gonna be price dependent. But as long as

1073
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:24,759
Speaker 6: he is reasonably priced, I think he's a player to

1074
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 6: buy on. I would be targeting him in Dynasty League too,

1075
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:30,040
Speaker 6: if you can still make trades there. I think he's

1076
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 6: still a player who's very much on the way up,

1077
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,840
Speaker 6: even though he hasn't had the same opportunities down the

1078
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:37,040
Speaker 6: stretch that he did beginning of the year.

1079
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 1: All right, for Roz, what have we got with the

1080
00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins in this matchup?

1081
00:53:40,760 --> 00:53:43,320
Speaker 4: All right, let's talk Miami real quick. This one's easy

1082
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 4: in terms of Quinn yours. You can't start Quinn years

1083
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:48,879
Speaker 4: in the Fantasy Championship, Okay, So zero stars for him,

1084
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:53,080
Speaker 4: four stars for Devon Chan though as consistent as they come.

1085
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 4: Neutral matcher for him. That's an easy one too, So

1086
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna overthink that one. And Jalen Waddle, you

1087
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:01,959
Speaker 4: know he did alright, in a tough matchup last week,

1088
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 4: you know, with yours in nine targets, five catches for

1089
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 4: seventy two yards, not bad at all. And now against Tampa,

1090
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 4: they're vulnerable everywhere left perimeter, right perimeter, in the slot,

1091
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:14,319
Speaker 4: and you know, he plays mostly on the outside, and

1092
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 4: they've given up the six most fantasy points two perimeter

1093
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 4: wide receivers over the last eight weeks. So I think

1094
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 4: Waddle is a very solid wide receiver to start this week.

1095
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 4: I'm gonna give him three stars. And then you have

1096
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:28,719
Speaker 4: Darren Waller, who couldn't really come through last week despite

1097
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:32,040
Speaker 4: a really good matchup against Cincinnati. But he gets another

1098
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:34,400
Speaker 4: good matchup against Tampa. Now, you know, we have to

1099
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 4: consider the fact that they gave up a ton to

1100
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:39,440
Speaker 4: Kyle Bittz just a few weeks ago, right, so when

1101
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:42,520
Speaker 4: you're looking at the fantasy points allowed, that takes up

1102
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 4: a big percentage of it. But you know, Waller can

1103
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,240
Speaker 4: get it done in this one if he gets the targets.

1104
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:51,320
Speaker 4: You know, seventeen percent target share last week not too bad.

1105
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:53,839
Speaker 4: I'm gonna give him two stars just because I think

1106
00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:56,919
Speaker 4: he's somewhat streamable. You know, I'm closer to one start

1107
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 4: to be honest with you, but I think you know,

1108
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 4: if you're in dire straits, I think he is an option.

1109
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 2: All right, Let's get to our next matchup on the slate.

1110
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:08,279
Speaker 2: Oh boy, this is a tough one right here. The

1111
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:12,959
Speaker 2: Arizona Cardinals travel to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals. John,

1112
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:16,759
Speaker 2: you have to break down the Arizona Cardinals for fantasy purposes,

1113
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 2: which may be a little bit better than for real

1114
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 2: NFL purposes.

1115
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 3: I know most fantasy gamers the second day heard Arizona Cardinals.

1116
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:27,480
Speaker 3: If McBride brought you to the Promised Land, he probably

1117
00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:30,240
Speaker 3: let you down. And there's so many like eye rolls

1118
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 3: and size that just happened. But you know, we got

1119
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:37,239
Speaker 3: to push forward. Arizona three win team, These other twenty

1120
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:38,799
Speaker 3: two and a half point team total, what you gotta

1121
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:41,239
Speaker 3: like because they're facing the hapless Bengals. The running back

1122
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 3: room is getting a lot of attention because it's one

1123
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 3: of the few positions that might actually be available to

1124
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:47,919
Speaker 3: help you. I don't think I go there, Michael Carter.

1125
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:50,280
Speaker 3: I have him as one of those one star running

1126
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 3: back two star flex like I could see starting in

1127
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:56,240
Speaker 3: the flex if you really needed because he should get touches.

1128
00:55:56,320 --> 00:56:00,040
Speaker 3: That's what I wrote, low quality touches and targets. But

1129
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,600
Speaker 3: there is a red flag because the lone goal to

1130
00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:06,399
Speaker 3: go attempt Week sixteen went to Corey Kiner. And now

1131
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:09,800
Speaker 3: with Amari de Marcada back there, a three way running

1132
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 3: back committee with no explosive playmaking abilities is not gonna

1133
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:17,240
Speaker 3: be great. But again, I do think Carter is worth something.

1134
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 3: If you're desperate again with the great matchup the wide receivers,

1135
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 3: let's run it back. One star wide receiver, two star

1136
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 3: flex for both Harrison and Wilson. If you're telling me

1137
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 3: you don't have a better replacement at flex, I get it.

1138
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 3: It's a decent spot. The team total is there, the

1139
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:38,440
Speaker 3: weather's supposed to be okay, but they seem to be

1140
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 3: canceling each other out right now. But the flip side

1141
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:43,879
Speaker 3: of that is, how do you not project them both

1142
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:47,320
Speaker 3: for at least five or six targets? Another problem for Arizona,

1143
00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 3: they're gonna be missing tackle Paris Johnson. Again, we've seen

1144
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:54,279
Speaker 3: the ugly underbelly of this Cardinals offense. The floor is

1145
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 3: very low, but it wraps up with McBride four stars

1146
00:56:57,160 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 3: by the dep everybody he's the number one tight end.

1147
00:56:59,840 --> 00:57:03,320
Speaker 3: He's had eight targets in ten straight. I mean, it's crazy,

1148
00:57:03,600 --> 00:57:06,239
Speaker 3: twenty six percent. Talk of aroute more than two yards around. Again,

1149
00:57:06,320 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 3: all those parameters are trying to check. That's with Brissett,

1150
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:12,600
Speaker 3: who I'd give two stars too. Again, we've seen the upside,

1151
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 3: we've seen the downside. It basically comes down to volume.

1152
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 3: You should get it. Cincinnati's clicking on all cylinders. Arizona

1153
00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 3: can't stop anybody. Arizona has shown the willingness to drop

1154
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 3: back one hundred times a game went the behind. I

1155
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:27,880
Speaker 3: think you're gonna get it. Cincinnati d just atrocious. That's

1156
00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:30,360
Speaker 3: what you kind of want to start. These guys. They're

1157
00:57:30,400 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 3: a run funnel and a pass funnel. They're in everything.

1158
00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:34,919
Speaker 3: They're a fantasy funnel. They've allowed the most fantasy points

1159
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 3: to running back. They're bottom five year to date and

1160
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 3: yards per carry, yards after contact, and explosive rushes. They're

1161
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 3: also bottom five against the pass last month and a

1162
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 3: half in yards perception, yards after the Cats, perception, deep shots,

1163
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:49,080
Speaker 3: and sack rate. Not only is Trey Hendrickson on the

1164
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:53,760
Speaker 3: IR two more defensive ends, Joseph Asai and bj Wilson

1165
00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:56,360
Speaker 3: both having practice on our tracking to be out. I mean,

1166
00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:58,960
Speaker 3: this could be the game you want to be attached to,

1167
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:02,960
Speaker 3: right So if cincinnat just is running crazy, maybe Arizona

1168
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 3: pushes it and everybody gets home, you'd be kicking yourself

1169
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:08,280
Speaker 3: to leave a guy like Michael Wilson bench for a

1170
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 3: bad replacement. So a lot of questions, Mark speaking, see

1171
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 3: if you get there.

1172
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 5: Guys.

1173
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 2: All right, still got plenty of show left to come.

1174
00:58:15,720 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 2: I'm going to get Matt Lamartha to break down the

1175
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengals when we come back on the other side.

1176
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 1: Plus still got the rest of the.

1177
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 2: Slate to look at, including Pittsburgh and Cleveland, the Jets

1178
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:29,600
Speaker 2: and Pats, and so on and so forth. Week seventeen

1179
00:58:29,760 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 2: edition Fantasy Football Weekly right here on iHeartRadio.

1180
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly. Thanks everybody for rocking with us.

1181
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 2: Congratulations to everybody in Week seventeen, the Championship round. When

1182
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:13,400
Speaker 2: we last left, we were setting up my main man,

1183
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:15,840
Speaker 2: Matt Lamarca, who's holding it down for Brian Johnson the

1184
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:21,160
Speaker 2: day to break down the once again disappointing Cincinnati Bengals.

1185
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 2: I have a feeling that Zach Taylor is not going

1186
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,320
Speaker 2: to escape this year's Black Monday.

1187
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:31,960
Speaker 6: Probably not, but disappointing is a it's a matter of perspective, Corey,

1188
00:59:32,120 --> 00:59:35,280
Speaker 6: And while they are disappointing in real life, this is

1189
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 6: this is the team for fantasy this week. They've got

1190
00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:40,880
Speaker 6: the top implied team total on the slate at more

1191
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:45,160
Speaker 6: than thirty points. This matchup looks like it's going to

1192
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 6: be just a great game environment. So Joe Burrow, there

1193
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:53,680
Speaker 6: was some concerns heading into last week. You know, he

1194
00:59:53,920 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 6: was he was downtrodden, He was in his emos emo phase,

1195
00:59:58,080 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 6: talk about you know, whether or not he was going

1196
00:59:59,880 --> 01:00:04,200
Speaker 6: to retire maybe or be traded. Many bounce back and

1197
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 6: he put together just an excellent performance against the Dolphins.

1198
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 6: You have to start him this week against the Cardinals.

1199
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:13,200
Speaker 6: He is a four star play for me, and I

1200
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 6: think he's probably a top three option at the position.

1201
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:20,919
Speaker 6: Chase Brown, he to me is a three star running back.

1202
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 6: He would have been on the Naughty list for fantasy

1203
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 6: players through the first seven or eight weeks of the season.

1204
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 6: He has been awesome down the stretch. Here are his

1205
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 6: fantasy finishes since Week eight. RB five, RB six, RB twelve,

1206
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 6: RB thirteen, RB nine, RB six, RB thirteen RB one.

1207
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 6: The guy is just getting the job done. He's got

1208
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:47,120
Speaker 6: a good ceiling and a good floor in a great matchup.

1209
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:51,800
Speaker 6: He is another slam dunk option wide receiver. More stars

1210
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:54,560
Speaker 6: to go around Jamar Chase. He is a four star guy,

1211
01:00:54,920 --> 01:00:58,480
Speaker 6: set it and forget it. No problems there. T Higgins

1212
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:02,560
Speaker 6: three stars for me. His production is a little bit

1213
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 6: more up and down. In his two games with Burrow,

1214
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 6: he had one where he had a ten percent target

1215
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 6: chair and then one where he had a thirty one

1216
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 6: percent target chair. So he is not quite as consistent

1217
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:16,160
Speaker 6: as Jamar Chases. But we know the ceiling that he

1218
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 6: brings to the table. He is a solid wide receiver

1219
01:01:19,680 --> 01:01:22,439
Speaker 6: to this week. Give me three stars. And the only

1220
01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 6: sort of down news with the Bengals is they don't

1221
01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:27,120
Speaker 6: have a tight end that we can use in this matchup.

1222
01:01:27,200 --> 01:01:29,919
Speaker 6: I've got Mike Gasicki as a one star play when

1223
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:32,120
Speaker 6: this team is at full strength. He is really not

1224
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 6: much of a factor in the offense, so you know,

1225
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 6: load up on the other positions, but feel free to

1226
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 6: skip tight end on your Bengals Bingo card this week.

1227
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:47,920
Speaker 1: No tight end on the Bengals Bengo card.

1228
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:50,240
Speaker 2: Easy for me to say all right, let's get back

1229
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:53,800
Speaker 2: to full game action and the Pittsburgh Steelers and the

1230
01:01:53,840 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns Old school AFC North late season showdown plenty

1231
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 2: on Stak, plenty of astek. Excuse me for Roz for

1232
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Steelers. I don't really know how much fantasy

1233
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:07,440
Speaker 2: love you can get out of him.

1234
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:10,160
Speaker 4: No, yeah, it's just, you know, not a whole lot.

1235
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 4: But there is one position group that you can. Let's

1236
01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:15,280
Speaker 4: start with Anon Rodgers. Though not super interested in Rodgers

1237
01:02:15,360 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 4: this week in Cleveland, the Browns are giving up the

1238
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:20,720
Speaker 4: second fewest pass attempts, the second fewest passing yards, not

1239
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:24,880
Speaker 4: to mention no DK Metcalf, So I'll pass on Aaron Rodgers.

1240
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 5: One star for him.

1241
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:29,440
Speaker 4: But the Steels backfield, though, you kind of have to

1242
01:02:29,480 --> 01:02:32,520
Speaker 4: start them regardless of the matchup at this point, especially

1243
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 4: Kenneth Gainwell. I mentioned last week. You know what he

1244
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:37,360
Speaker 4: was doing and how he was producing, and he's now

1245
01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:41,200
Speaker 4: up to five RB one finishes over his last six games,

1246
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 4: and the matchup isn't even that bad. The Browns are

1247
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:45,760
Speaker 4: allowing four point eight yards per carry to the running

1248
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:49,360
Speaker 4: backs over the last four games. That's ninth most during

1249
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 4: that span. They're also allowing the third most Fantasy points

1250
01:02:52,880 --> 01:02:55,120
Speaker 4: per game to the position over the last four weeks

1251
01:02:55,120 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 4: as well. So you know, this offense depends on these

1252
01:02:57,880 --> 01:03:00,600
Speaker 4: running backs so much, and they have to depend on

1253
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 4: them even more without DK Metcalf. So a strong three

1254
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:08,720
Speaker 4: stars for each of these guys, especially Gainwell. And I mentioned,

1255
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:11,600
Speaker 4: you know, no DK Metcalf obviously, but I think this

1256
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:14,479
Speaker 4: theme was also lean more on their three tight ends.

1257
01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:18,040
Speaker 4: But good luck depending, you know, deciding on which one

1258
01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 4: to start if you're going to do that, right, So

1259
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:23,360
Speaker 4: I'd imagine that Pat Friedmouth and Darneld Washington the primary

1260
01:03:23,760 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 4: beneficiaries here, leaning more towards fried Mouth because he's running

1261
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:30,160
Speaker 4: slightly more routes, he's getting targeted in the end zone

1262
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:33,040
Speaker 4: a little bit more. But only one star for each

1263
01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:35,080
Speaker 4: of them, just because it's really tough to decide which

1264
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:38,360
Speaker 4: one to go with. Really, you might, you know, have

1265
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 4: you know a third tight end you know come into

1266
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:44,200
Speaker 4: play here, obviously, because Arthur smith Shenanigans you know, can

1267
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:46,880
Speaker 4: come into play pretty easily here. So I can't trust

1268
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:49,960
Speaker 4: those guys at all. So I'm gonna give one stars

1269
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 4: to the tight end position.

1270
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:57,320
Speaker 2: All right, what do we have on the other side

1271
01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:01,720
Speaker 2: of the football is very quick enough of the Pittsburgh Steelers,

1272
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 2: and rightfully so.

1273
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:04,560
Speaker 1: But Cleveland I guess we can get past.

1274
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:06,120
Speaker 2: I mean, but John, I guess we can get past

1275
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:07,680
Speaker 2: the Cleveland Browns even quicker.

1276
01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:11,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, Farad's definitely moving faster than the Steelers offense. For sure,

1277
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:15,240
Speaker 3: Brown's not much better. I want to stress the weather also,

1278
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:18,040
Speaker 3: if that's been the talk around both of these cities,

1279
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:21,000
Speaker 3: and they're saying could be really really bad. Lots of rain,

1280
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:23,640
Speaker 3: which I think is actually worse than snow, and lots

1281
01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:25,680
Speaker 3: of wind. They're saying maybe fifteen to twenty mile an

1282
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:28,480
Speaker 3: hour gusts that could be up even higher than that.

1283
01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 3: I'm not the biggest like weather hunk, but when you

1284
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:34,000
Speaker 3: hear fifteen to twenty mile an hour wins, that's when

1285
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 3: the ball can start the wabble kicks affected, even maybe

1286
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:39,440
Speaker 3: deep balls being affected. Just worth keeping an eye on

1287
01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:41,960
Speaker 3: because Cleveland has a sixteen point team total. Woof all

1288
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:44,800
Speaker 3: right running backs in the backfield. No quinch on Judkins.

1289
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:46,919
Speaker 3: That injury was nasty. I hope he gets well soon.

1290
01:04:47,160 --> 01:04:50,320
Speaker 3: Jerome Ford also on the IR but Dylan Sampson is back,

1291
01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:52,480
Speaker 3: so I think he gets the two star label. I

1292
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:56,439
Speaker 3: wrote pp r heist because the running stuff hasn't been great.

1293
01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh's also good upfront, but they'll drop the ball off

1294
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 3: to him, and if you're getting a point for catch,

1295
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:03,560
Speaker 3: that could do something. Remember he had twelve carries and

1296
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:07,320
Speaker 3: eight catches Week one with the last time Judkins was

1297
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:09,800
Speaker 3: out that was with old man Flacco. But still he's

1298
01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:12,200
Speaker 3: had five catches or more three different times this year.

1299
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:14,520
Speaker 3: Wide receiver room very easy. You know, I love these

1300
01:05:14,560 --> 01:05:19,520
Speaker 3: stats man zero stars zero Cleveland wide receivers have a

1301
01:05:19,560 --> 01:05:23,040
Speaker 3: twenty point Fantasy game this year. They've put up zero

1302
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 3: the entire season. Just incredible. If you needed one dark

1303
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 3: horse flex, let's say you were, you know, facing Bill Krosky,

1304
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 3: merrit or somebody kind of buried you. Maybe Isaiah Bond.

1305
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:36,040
Speaker 3: He's been the deep shot guy. Pittsburgh does like to

1306
01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:38,800
Speaker 3: play a lot of man and we've seen Schador take

1307
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:42,040
Speaker 3: those deep challenges. Just under two yards per route run

1308
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 3: and a nearly thirty a dot, yes, nearly thirty average

1309
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:51,400
Speaker 3: depth of target with Shador against man Pittsburgh they do

1310
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:53,080
Speaker 3: a lot of four dbs, So if you get that

1311
01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:55,720
Speaker 3: one up, the help might not be there. Maybe Bond

1312
01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 3: gets you a deep one. I loved Fanning. I had

1313
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:01,080
Speaker 3: him as a three star play. However, he's popping up

1314
01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:04,200
Speaker 3: all over the news today a groin injury. They're debating

1315
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:06,600
Speaker 3: whether or not he's going to play. He's saying he's

1316
01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:09,720
Speaker 3: going to. I don't always believe players maybe take him

1317
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:11,280
Speaker 3: down to two stars. I think you have to play

1318
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:13,960
Speaker 3: him though he's been the overall tight end one or

1319
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:16,720
Speaker 3: two in two of the last three weeks. He's averaging

1320
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:20,000
Speaker 3: more than ten targets a game in that span, so

1321
01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:23,440
Speaker 3: I volume is everything. He's the guy in that offense Shador.

1322
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:25,280
Speaker 3: He can't start on him one star. He has more

1323
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 3: picks than touchdowns, negative point two to four ePaper dropback,

1324
01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:30,520
Speaker 3: which is not in any good and a sub seventy

1325
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:34,160
Speaker 3: passer rating. Pittsburgh looks like they're gonna return TJ. Watt.

1326
01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:36,920
Speaker 3: They're also gonna return herbig in the middle, they're gettable.

1327
01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 3: But when that front seven is there and playing well

1328
01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:41,200
Speaker 3: with say Are, they can get pressures without the blitz,

1329
01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 3: which has been a problem for Sanders, high Smith, Hayward

1330
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:46,240
Speaker 3: and Queen, you know, kind of game wrecking up the middle.

1331
01:06:46,320 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 3: So I don't think you're gonna get much from Cleveland.

1332
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 3: I would start Sampson in a flex spot. Other than that,

1333
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:55,440
Speaker 3: if you told me no Browns ever this weekend, no problem.

1334
01:06:56,040 --> 01:07:03,000
Speaker 2: Wow, that's interesting stuff right there. Our next game, New

1335
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:10,760
Speaker 2: England Patriots, New York Jets. Drake May certified MVP candidate

1336
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:14,680
Speaker 2: in his second season. Good for him, big ten around

1337
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:18,000
Speaker 2: for the Patriots this year. But Matt is anybody we

1338
01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:20,280
Speaker 2: can really depend on in Championship.

1339
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:22,840
Speaker 7: Week for sure? And as a.

1340
01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:27,680
Speaker 6: I don't know closet Jet fan or you know, depressed

1341
01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:29,840
Speaker 6: Jet fan, I don't really wear my fandom on my

1342
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 6: sleeve with the Jets anymore. But it's just not fair

1343
01:07:33,080 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 6: that they get to go from Tom Brady to Drake

1344
01:07:35,720 --> 01:07:36,640
Speaker 6: May this fast.

1345
01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 7: I'm sorry.

1346
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:42,920
Speaker 6: The Jets have toiled in QB obscurity for what fifty years,

1347
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:45,640
Speaker 6: and the Patriots might be able to run it back

1348
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:48,000
Speaker 6: with back to back Hall of famers and like a

1349
01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:51,120
Speaker 6: five year span. It's just not fair. So that's all

1350
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:53,400
Speaker 6: I'm gonna say about that. But Drake May, he is

1351
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:57,280
Speaker 6: a clear four star quarterback for fantasy purposes. Arguably the

1352
01:07:57,360 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 6: QB won this week. He is giving us plenty of sealing,

1353
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:05,120
Speaker 6: plenty of floor. He is a top twelve finisher just

1354
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:08,200
Speaker 6: about every week this season. There's no reason not to

1355
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:11,880
Speaker 6: trust him against the Jets. The bigger question is the

1356
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:14,640
Speaker 6: rest of the roster, because we've got some injury stuff

1357
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:18,520
Speaker 6: to worry about here. Trevion Henderson is in the concussion

1358
01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:22,600
Speaker 6: protocol for the time being, but he is listed as questionable.

1359
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:25,759
Speaker 6: They're at least leaving the door open for the fact

1360
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 6: that he could suit up versus the Jets on Sunday.

1361
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:31,479
Speaker 6: We'll see if that actually happens. I think the most

1362
01:08:31,479 --> 01:08:34,679
Speaker 6: appealing situation for fantasy purposes would be that he does

1363
01:08:34,760 --> 01:08:39,280
Speaker 6: not play, because it makes Romandra Street Stevenson much more appealing.

1364
01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:42,479
Speaker 6: He would become a three star option at the position.

1365
01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:45,880
Speaker 6: If Henderson isn't out the Jets, they are not a

1366
01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 6: good defense, especially after trading away Quinn Williams and Sauce Gardner.

1367
01:08:50,479 --> 01:08:54,320
Speaker 6: The Patriots have a top two or top three implied

1368
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:58,920
Speaker 6: team total this week. Stevenson, even with Henderson around, has

1369
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:02,240
Speaker 6: still sort of been the guy getting most of the

1370
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:06,599
Speaker 6: high value touches in their backfield. But if Henderson is out,

1371
01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:09,760
Speaker 6: the volume would be cranked up. So yeah, he would

1372
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:12,360
Speaker 6: be a three star play there. If Henderson plays, I

1373
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:15,560
Speaker 6: think that he and Stevenson are both two star options.

1374
01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:20,599
Speaker 6: They're just not enough standalone volume to feel great about

1375
01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:24,559
Speaker 6: either of them, but certainly a good enough spot, good

1376
01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 6: enough game situation. As huge favorites against the Jets in

1377
01:09:29,360 --> 01:09:33,559
Speaker 6: the wide receiver corps, they're even more banged up than

1378
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:36,679
Speaker 6: they are at running back. Mac Collins is out, Kayshawn

1379
01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:42,240
Speaker 6: Booty is out, to Mario Douglas questionable. That leaves Stefan

1380
01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:46,839
Speaker 6: Diggs and Kyle Williams really as the only two truly

1381
01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:51,360
Speaker 6: healthy bodies. I would not trust Kyle Wilson Williams at all,

1382
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:54,800
Speaker 6: even if he is going to be on the field

1383
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:57,400
Speaker 6: for the majority of the snaps. We just haven't seen

1384
01:09:57,520 --> 01:10:00,280
Speaker 6: enough of him to feel comfortable using him in a

1385
01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:04,439
Speaker 6: fantasy championship. But Stefan Diggs, I think you can probably

1386
01:10:04,479 --> 01:10:08,120
Speaker 6: hang three stars on this week. He has been pretty volatile.

1387
01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:12,320
Speaker 6: He's not in every down player, and the targets share

1388
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:16,000
Speaker 6: can really fluctuate from week to week. But the gows

1389
01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:18,200
Speaker 6: is he's at least coming off of a strong showing

1390
01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:22,320
Speaker 6: in Week sixteen, he finished with over twenty two PPR points.

1391
01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:26,120
Speaker 7: He was wide receiver seven. He's got some incentive stuff

1392
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:28,719
Speaker 7: in his contract too down the stretch.

1393
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:31,200
Speaker 6: I'm not sure how much the Patriots are really thinking

1394
01:10:31,240 --> 01:10:33,760
Speaker 6: about that, but I know that the people out there

1395
01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:37,719
Speaker 6: love incentives. So you know, if you're somebody who thinks

1396
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:40,240
Speaker 6: that they're going to be focused on getting their guy

1397
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:43,320
Speaker 6: paid in the final two weeks, the Diggs does check

1398
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:47,000
Speaker 6: those boxes. And then finally Hunter Henry, I would give

1399
01:10:47,080 --> 01:10:52,719
Speaker 6: him two stars. He's not the sexiest tight end option,

1400
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 6: but he's pretty reliable. And again, with all the injuries

1401
01:10:56,200 --> 01:10:58,760
Speaker 6: in the Patriots receiving corps, he could end up being

1402
01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:01,880
Speaker 6: a beneficiary this week. I think he's like a borderline

1403
01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:03,400
Speaker 6: top ten option at the position.

1404
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:07,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, good stuff and life.

1405
01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:10,640
Speaker 2: Definitely a nice bounce back, and he stacking those potential

1406
01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:13,479
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame quarterbacks back to back even though we're

1407
01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:16,639
Speaker 2: still very young in Drake May's career. Like you said,

1408
01:11:16,680 --> 01:11:19,280
Speaker 2: the rich just keep getting rich and Matt Faz and

1409
01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:21,240
Speaker 2: New York Jets, on the other hand, the poor just

1410
01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:22,000
Speaker 2: keep getting poor.

1411
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I just want to kind of, you know,

1412
01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:26,519
Speaker 4: double down on that Digs on the dig stuff because

1413
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:28,679
Speaker 4: you know, Kai Shan Boody, you know, with him out,

1414
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:32,000
Speaker 4: you know, weeks ten and eleven, Uh, Diggs became a

1415
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:35,040
Speaker 4: full time player, you know, high roight participation, thirty percent

1416
01:11:35,160 --> 01:11:39,080
Speaker 4: target share over that period, including one top ten finish,

1417
01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:41,840
Speaker 4: you know, for me, like Diggs's you know, a smash play,

1418
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:44,080
Speaker 4: even though he's been so boom bust you know, over

1419
01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:47,120
Speaker 4: the course of the season with Booty out. Uh. And

1420
01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:49,800
Speaker 4: then also obviously you know MATC Collins banged up too,

1421
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:52,000
Speaker 4: so there's gonna be plenty of opportunity there.

1422
01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:53,519
Speaker 5: But I had to.

1423
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:56,920
Speaker 4: Get something in on the Patriots, Matt, because I got

1424
01:11:56,960 --> 01:11:58,760
Speaker 4: I got the Jets here, right, like, I got to

1425
01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:01,240
Speaker 4: do something. I'm also a closet Jets fan at this point,

1426
01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:03,439
Speaker 4: you know, and I totally agree, Like this is just

1427
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:06,200
Speaker 4: not fair. Life is not fair at all. You know,

1428
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:09,120
Speaker 4: I made a decision when I had my kids not

1429
01:12:09,240 --> 01:12:11,120
Speaker 4: to make the Jets fans, and I think I made

1430
01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:11,839
Speaker 4: the right choice.

1431
01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:15,280
Speaker 7: That's a smart decision being a good father.

1432
01:12:17,160 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 4: That's the best decision I made as a dad, you know,

1433
01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 4: just overall, but that this was going to be easy.

1434
01:12:22,240 --> 01:12:25,519
Speaker 4: You know, don't start anyone on the Jets in your

1435
01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:28,160
Speaker 4: fantasy championship, you know, not always to start your Jets.

1436
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:32,000
Speaker 4: Brady Cook, zero stars. Let's go to Breeze Hall though,

1437
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:34,800
Speaker 4: like he's getting some work taken away right now. You

1438
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:37,799
Speaker 4: know from Isaiah Davis. He is getting all the rushing

1439
01:12:37,840 --> 01:12:39,800
Speaker 4: work though, But Davis is on the field a lot

1440
01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:43,200
Speaker 4: on pass and downs. I guess the good news is

1441
01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:45,600
Speaker 4: that Breece is on the field in two minute situations.

1442
01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:48,680
Speaker 4: He's a flex play at best right now, more of

1443
01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:52,080
Speaker 4: an RB three than an RB two. I don't you know,

1444
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:53,800
Speaker 4: I don't even feel comfortable with him in my top

1445
01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:55,719
Speaker 4: twenty four. He can definitely break a long one because

1446
01:12:55,720 --> 01:12:58,280
Speaker 4: he's obviously that talented. But you know, with my fantasy

1447
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:00,400
Speaker 4: hopes and dreams on theline this week, it's to trust

1448
01:13:00,439 --> 01:13:03,360
Speaker 4: a running back who hasn't cracked the top thirty six

1449
01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:06,600
Speaker 4: finish over his last three weeks. So two stars for

1450
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 4: Brest Hall. Ady Mitchell clearly the top wide receiver for

1451
01:13:10,200 --> 01:13:12,600
Speaker 4: the Jets twenty seven percent or higher target share in

1452
01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:14,840
Speaker 4: four of his last five games. But I don't really

1453
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 4: love the matchup. I don't really trust the quarterback. I

1454
01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:20,360
Speaker 4: think Mitchell is a low ceiling type of play this week,

1455
01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:23,120
Speaker 4: they just have the lowest team implied total on the week.

1456
01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:26,120
Speaker 4: The Patriots have been pretty tough against wide receivers lately,

1457
01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:29,600
Speaker 4: so I'm gonna give Mitchell two stars reluctantly because you

1458
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:31,000
Speaker 4: know he can still get it done with that type

1459
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:35,240
Speaker 4: of target share. Somewhat flexworthy there, Okay, and that's really

1460
01:13:35,400 --> 01:13:38,360
Speaker 4: gonna be it for Mason Taylor not playing in this game,

1461
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:40,080
Speaker 4: so I don't want to even touch the tight ends

1462
01:13:40,160 --> 01:13:43,519
Speaker 4: on the jets behind him.

1463
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:45,840
Speaker 1: Yep. Not really too much going on right there, but

1464
01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:49,919
Speaker 1: it's still a lot left to go on in the program.

1465
01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:56,920
Speaker 1: As we have our final of World Championship.

1466
01:13:57,240 --> 01:13:59,720
Speaker 2: Can we find you some hitting gyms to put you

1467
01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:01,760
Speaker 2: over with the top. We'll let you know when we

1468
01:14:01,800 --> 01:14:40,280
Speaker 2: return on Fantasy Football Weekly. Finald segment of the week

1469
01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:43,360
Speaker 2: seventeen edition of Fantasy Football Weekly. Want to thank everybody

1470
01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:45,200
Speaker 2: for rock and rolling with us throughout the course of

1471
01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:48,240
Speaker 2: the entire season and especially as we move into the

1472
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:51,519
Speaker 2: all new version of Fantasy Football Weekly.

1473
01:14:51,560 --> 01:14:53,680
Speaker 1: I'm your host, Corey Parson, the Fantasy Executive.

1474
01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:56,759
Speaker 2: It's been on this journey for the past couple hours

1475
01:14:56,800 --> 01:15:01,120
Speaker 2: now with my man John Legeza, Matt Lamarca, and for Sidiki,

1476
01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:01,840
Speaker 2: got that.

1477
01:15:02,000 --> 01:15:02,679
Speaker 1: Right this time.

1478
01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:06,240
Speaker 2: Don't have anything for the kids to laugh about the

1479
01:15:06,280 --> 01:15:07,400
Speaker 2: Sidiki household.

1480
01:15:08,160 --> 01:15:10,400
Speaker 1: Before we get into our last two contests.

1481
01:15:10,400 --> 01:15:12,400
Speaker 2: I want to take a look back at the season

1482
01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:15,040
Speaker 2: as we started this journey way back June July August,

1483
01:15:15,080 --> 01:15:18,200
Speaker 2: whenever you had your draft and began your journey into

1484
01:15:18,240 --> 01:15:20,280
Speaker 2: this season. And I want to go back, and I'm

1485
01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:23,519
Speaker 2: gonna start with you, John, When you look at some

1486
01:15:23,680 --> 01:15:26,880
Speaker 2: of the reasons why people may not be playing in

1487
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:30,400
Speaker 2: Championship Week, it's because you could have had a player

1488
01:15:30,439 --> 01:15:33,360
Speaker 2: that was drafted way too high or didn't live up

1489
01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:34,400
Speaker 2: to expectations.

1490
01:15:34,680 --> 01:15:37,080
Speaker 1: Who was your biggest bust to the fantasy season.

1491
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:41,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, like many other people that had back end draft picks,

1492
01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:45,160
Speaker 3: you're tracking Brian Thomas that was a killer or generally

1493
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:50,879
Speaker 3: that type of production, with that type of prospect, pedigree

1494
01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:53,519
Speaker 3: and track record for college production. And then we soared,

1495
01:15:53,880 --> 01:15:58,920
Speaker 3: you know, elevate into superstar level status for fantasy purposes.

1496
01:15:59,479 --> 01:16:03,120
Speaker 3: Then adding what we think of as an explosive offensive

1497
01:16:03,120 --> 01:16:07,559
Speaker 3: mastermind felt like the perfect breakout scenario. And you know

1498
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:10,519
Speaker 3: that one was the old Falhorn the wa wamp because

1499
01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:12,559
Speaker 3: it didn't go right. A lot of the other ones

1500
01:16:12,560 --> 01:16:15,200
Speaker 3: are in our injuries. You know, I love Lamar Jackson.

1501
01:16:15,240 --> 01:16:18,160
Speaker 3: I still think he's working. Yeah, that's that's the one.

1502
01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:20,960
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson. Are you're gonna beat yourself off for liking

1503
01:16:21,040 --> 01:16:23,400
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson. He's like the best football player on the planet.

1504
01:16:23,560 --> 01:16:26,160
Speaker 3: It just didn't really happen. He didn't get healthy, it

1505
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:28,360
Speaker 3: never worked. So I go with BTJ, man that was

1506
01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:29,040
Speaker 3: a real killer.

1507
01:16:30,640 --> 01:16:32,760
Speaker 1: Well you got Matt, Matt where you got for your

1508
01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:33,840
Speaker 1: biggest bust of the year.

1509
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:36,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm going similar thought process for John, but at

1510
01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:39,040
Speaker 6: least with BTJ, he had a couple of weeks where

1511
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:41,160
Speaker 6: he was injured, so you could confidently get him on

1512
01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:42,120
Speaker 6: your bench at least.

1513
01:16:42,479 --> 01:16:42,599
Speaker 4: Uh.

1514
01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:45,640
Speaker 6: For me, it's it's Justin Jefferson. And it's sad to

1515
01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:47,920
Speaker 6: say because I still think Justin Jefferson is one of

1516
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:51,439
Speaker 6: the best wide receivers on the planet. But we finally

1517
01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:56,479
Speaker 6: found a few quarterbacks who cannot succeed in Kevin O'Connell's system.

1518
01:16:56,560 --> 01:16:58,040
Speaker 3: Where's Nick Mullens when you need him?

1519
01:16:58,040 --> 01:17:01,320
Speaker 6: Matt, seriously, we need we need somebody out there other

1520
01:17:01,439 --> 01:17:05,240
Speaker 6: than JJ McCarthy and Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer. So

1521
01:17:05,600 --> 01:17:09,400
Speaker 6: you know, hopefully with another offseason, maybe McCarthy takes a

1522
01:17:09,400 --> 01:17:13,559
Speaker 6: step forward. But Jefferson clearly proved that he was not

1523
01:17:13,760 --> 01:17:15,240
Speaker 6: quarterback proof this season.

1524
01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:19,759
Speaker 2: And that was the thing that we always thought about Jefferson.

1525
01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:21,679
Speaker 2: Even with McCarthy coming in, and I'm a big j

1526
01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:24,800
Speaker 2: McCarthy guy. Coming into the season, you kind of felt

1527
01:17:24,880 --> 01:17:28,280
Speaker 2: like Jetta's was quarterback proof and that was not the

1528
01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:31,000
Speaker 2: case this year. Still think he's a first round wide

1529
01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:35,840
Speaker 2: receiver coming up next year. So even even if JJ

1530
01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:37,840
Speaker 2: McCarthy is still the guy, what have we got for

1531
01:17:37,960 --> 01:17:39,320
Speaker 2: Ross's biggest fantasy?

1532
01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:44,280
Speaker 4: But well, you know, initially it was Chase Brown. Early on,

1533
01:17:44,560 --> 01:17:47,560
Speaker 4: I was basically drafting Chase Brown. My whole draft was

1534
01:17:47,600 --> 01:17:51,080
Speaker 4: basically built around third round Chase Brown, Right, That's basically

1535
01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:53,599
Speaker 4: what it was. And I was telling everybody Chase Brown

1536
01:17:53,680 --> 01:17:56,439
Speaker 4: and Chase Brown the third round, no matter what. But

1537
01:17:56,720 --> 01:17:59,920
Speaker 4: unfortunately that did not work out, you know, early on. Now,

1538
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:03,800
Speaker 4: thank god, like my whole fantasy career was on the

1539
01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:05,679
Speaker 4: line of this one. He ended up, you know, kind

1540
01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:08,559
Speaker 4: of picking it together, you know, once Joe Flacco came

1541
01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:10,360
Speaker 4: through and once he kind of saved the day. And

1542
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:12,640
Speaker 4: now Joe Burrow's back and he's still doing this thing now.

1543
01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:15,360
Speaker 4: Samajip Ryan, you know, still taking a lot of work away.

1544
01:18:15,400 --> 01:18:17,720
Speaker 4: But it hasn't really affected Chase Brown a whole lot.

1545
01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:20,800
Speaker 4: So thank god, you know, everyone kind of left me,

1546
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:22,680
Speaker 4: you know, off the hook at this point, so I'm

1547
01:18:22,680 --> 01:18:25,080
Speaker 4: happy about that. But it wasn't looking pretty early to

1548
01:18:25,200 --> 01:18:26,559
Speaker 4: start early in the season.

1549
01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:31,240
Speaker 2: All right, let's get back to our final two contests

1550
01:18:31,240 --> 01:18:36,960
Speaker 2: that will determine Week number seventeen in fantasy. It is

1551
01:18:37,040 --> 01:18:40,360
Speaker 2: the New Orleans Saints traveling Tennessee to take on the Titans.

1552
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:43,360
Speaker 2: I mean, really, as the great Stewart Scott once said,

1553
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:46,960
Speaker 2: because the schedule says, so, John, what's up with the

1554
01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:48,600
Speaker 2: New Orleans side of the football.

1555
01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:51,320
Speaker 3: They're actually pretty exciting for a five win team. They've

1556
01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:54,400
Speaker 3: won three in a row, and though they're not obviously

1557
01:18:54,439 --> 01:18:58,280
Speaker 3: not going anywhere this season, I almost count him with

1558
01:18:58,320 --> 01:19:00,640
Speaker 3: the teams that are playing for something, because in a

1559
01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:03,080
Speaker 3: way I believe they are. This is a new regime

1560
01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:06,479
Speaker 3: going on, new quarterback, new you know, young running backs

1561
01:19:06,479 --> 01:19:08,720
Speaker 3: with a lave the kind of foundational piece, and I

1562
01:19:08,720 --> 01:19:11,600
Speaker 3: think the front organ, the front office desperately wants to

1563
01:19:11,640 --> 01:19:14,000
Speaker 3: find out if they need to make a move for quarterback,

1564
01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:16,559
Speaker 3: if Tyler Shuck, who's looked pretty good at points, is

1565
01:19:16,680 --> 01:19:19,320
Speaker 3: an answer. Remember, it's very hard to find that filler

1566
01:19:19,360 --> 01:19:21,080
Speaker 3: you could take a first round pick and get zero

1567
01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:23,200
Speaker 3: out of it. Right, you can have a fourteen win

1568
01:19:23,320 --> 01:19:26,240
Speaker 3: team and end up out of the playoffs like the Vikings.

1569
01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:28,679
Speaker 3: So they may say, hey, this kid's pretty good. Maybe

1570
01:19:28,680 --> 01:19:31,599
Speaker 3: we're gonna move our draft back and look to fortify

1571
01:19:31,680 --> 01:19:35,360
Speaker 3: around him. So Saints pretty exciting. They're strapped with a

1572
01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:38,280
Speaker 3: twenty one point team total against the Titans. So you

1573
01:19:38,280 --> 01:19:41,080
Speaker 3: know what, mister grinch, My heart is growing three sizes

1574
01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:43,519
Speaker 3: this day because of actually bullish on one team. A

1575
01:19:43,600 --> 01:19:46,360
Speaker 3: pair A posted a market. Granted it's not gonna be

1576
01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:49,840
Speaker 3: in the backfield. One star for estimated Hull because Taysom Hill.

1577
01:19:50,520 --> 01:19:52,639
Speaker 3: This is a miracle what this guy's doing. He's soaking

1578
01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:54,240
Speaker 3: up all the good stuff. That's what I wrote. Even

1579
01:19:54,280 --> 01:19:57,439
Speaker 3: if the volume is not great, everything that Taysom Hill

1580
01:19:57,520 --> 01:20:00,360
Speaker 3: touches is high value. He might throw a touch he

1581
01:20:00,439 --> 01:20:02,920
Speaker 3: might catch a touchdown, but when the chips are down,

1582
01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:05,320
Speaker 3: Taysom Hill is the guy. So let's circle to the

1583
01:20:05,360 --> 01:20:07,920
Speaker 3: tight ends fast. He's a two star dark horse play.

1584
01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:11,200
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's gonna continue the utilization we saw,

1585
01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:13,519
Speaker 3: but he does get the high value mix that I mentioned.

1586
01:20:13,720 --> 01:20:16,200
Speaker 3: The thing is, it never seems to be sticky right.

1587
01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:18,760
Speaker 3: Hill has this big breakout game and then the next

1588
01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:21,280
Speaker 3: week everyone chases it. It doesn't happen. So I think

1589
01:20:21,439 --> 01:20:23,960
Speaker 3: he's a good play if you're way behind, because I

1590
01:20:23,960 --> 01:20:25,920
Speaker 3: don't think he has a good floor. But Hill has

1591
01:20:25,920 --> 01:20:28,880
Speaker 3: a ceiling because he could score two three touchdowns in

1592
01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:31,240
Speaker 3: three different ways. He's on the shortest list of people

1593
01:20:31,240 --> 01:20:33,519
Speaker 3: that can do that. Over to the other tight end,

1594
01:20:33,560 --> 01:20:36,160
Speaker 3: Juan Johnson, probably a four stars start. He's the overall

1595
01:20:36,160 --> 01:20:39,000
Speaker 3: tight end ten. He has four top four different top

1596
01:20:39,040 --> 01:20:41,960
Speaker 3: five finishes excuse me, twenty six percent target pro route

1597
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:44,920
Speaker 3: and two yards per out run with Tyler Schuck, he's

1598
01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:47,680
Speaker 3: a big piece of that offense. Same four stars for

1599
01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:50,599
Speaker 3: a LAVE. He's the overall wide receiver six. He's thirty

1600
01:20:50,600 --> 01:20:54,320
Speaker 3: in the NFL in targets overall, twenty five percent target perrout,

1601
01:20:54,400 --> 01:20:56,680
Speaker 3: two yards per out run. Again, always looking to check

1602
01:20:56,720 --> 01:21:00,360
Speaker 3: those boxes for efficiency. That's with Tyler Shuck. Overall he's

1603
01:21:00,400 --> 01:21:02,800
Speaker 3: over one hundred and fourteen a yards per game. So

1604
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:05,120
Speaker 3: they're rolling with the LAVE. He was one of the

1605
01:21:05,200 --> 01:21:08,559
Speaker 3: smash picks this year. I'm gonna slap the three stars

1606
01:21:08,600 --> 01:21:11,240
Speaker 3: on Shuck and he's the guy I'm looking to if

1607
01:21:11,240 --> 01:21:14,960
Speaker 3: you have doubts about your quarterback. Don't get too cute people,

1608
01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:18,080
Speaker 3: but if you have doubts, this is the guy I want.

1609
01:21:18,120 --> 01:21:20,559
Speaker 3: He's my Rookie of the Year pick right now, and

1610
01:21:20,600 --> 01:21:22,640
Speaker 3: we got two weeks ago. He's the QB ten and

1611
01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:25,080
Speaker 3: EPA per attempt going back to week ten. I think

1612
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:26,840
Speaker 3: that was his second start. I'd like to give one

1613
01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:29,400
Speaker 3: start to kind of get warm. He's also getting more

1614
01:21:29,439 --> 01:21:32,320
Speaker 3: than four takeoffs per game. Right that you're scrambles plus

1615
01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:34,840
Speaker 3: design rushes good, four than twenty rush yards per game.

1616
01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:38,000
Speaker 3: In the Tennessee defense is terrible. Their pass photo with

1617
01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:39,920
Speaker 3: Simmons in, he's the only good player, so you look

1618
01:21:39,960 --> 01:21:43,880
Speaker 3: to avoid him. Now, starting quarterback Marcus Harris is out.

1619
01:21:44,320 --> 01:21:45,960
Speaker 3: They get a lot of pressure, but you could beat

1620
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:48,640
Speaker 3: them over the top. They're the worst at yards perception,

1621
01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:52,360
Speaker 3: yards after the kets per reception the last four weeks.

1622
01:21:52,479 --> 01:21:55,400
Speaker 3: They've allowed multiple passing touchdowns in three of the last four.

1623
01:21:55,840 --> 01:21:57,800
Speaker 3: So I want to roll with my Saints. I think

1624
01:21:57,840 --> 01:22:00,479
Speaker 3: this is the oasis again. If you feel are you

1625
01:22:00,479 --> 01:22:03,120
Speaker 3: making a coin flip, head me to Neworlean to get

1626
01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:05,000
Speaker 3: it done against the Music City Titans.

1627
01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:09,240
Speaker 1: Those Music City Titans Matt cam Wood.

1628
01:22:09,439 --> 01:22:12,599
Speaker 2: You know whatever, interesting, still a lot to be work

1629
01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:14,600
Speaker 2: to be done in Tennessee. Is anything we should be

1630
01:22:14,640 --> 01:22:16,720
Speaker 2: looking for this week in week seventeen.

1631
01:22:16,560 --> 01:22:19,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's all a matter of perspective, right, Like Tyler,

1632
01:22:19,320 --> 01:22:22,040
Speaker 6: Schuck comes in and he's he's given the Saints some life,

1633
01:22:23,040 --> 01:22:26,439
Speaker 6: and I agree with John I think that he has

1634
01:22:26,479 --> 01:22:29,600
Speaker 6: at least earned the opportunity to start games for the

1635
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:34,040
Speaker 6: Saints next year. Cam Ward, I believe in his talent,

1636
01:22:34,880 --> 01:22:38,200
Speaker 6: he is not getting nearly the same opportunities to shine

1637
01:22:38,240 --> 01:22:41,360
Speaker 6: that Chuck is with the Saints. And one brief note,

1638
01:22:41,479 --> 01:22:44,840
Speaker 6: Chris Olave was limited at practice on Friday and did

1639
01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:48,599
Speaker 6: officially pop up with a questionable designation. I would still

1640
01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:51,360
Speaker 6: say it's more likely than not that he plays, and

1641
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:54,439
Speaker 6: you're certainly starting him if he's playing, But just something

1642
01:22:54,479 --> 01:22:56,800
Speaker 6: to keep an eye on there. The only guy for

1643
01:22:56,840 --> 01:22:59,400
Speaker 6: the Titans that's really worth considering at this point is

1644
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:02,240
Speaker 6: Tony Polla. I'm gonna give him two stars. He's had

1645
01:23:02,600 --> 01:23:07,479
Speaker 6: a seventy percent rush rushing attempt share basically since Week eleven.

1646
01:23:08,360 --> 01:23:11,160
Speaker 6: Another guy with some incentive stuff in his contract, and

1647
01:23:11,200 --> 01:23:13,679
Speaker 6: he has played a little bit better here down the stretch.

1648
01:23:13,800 --> 01:23:17,080
Speaker 6: So he's really the only person that I would consider

1649
01:23:17,120 --> 01:23:19,320
Speaker 6: starting in this matchup, and I don't even think that

1650
01:23:19,320 --> 01:23:23,519
Speaker 6: that's a strong start. He's more as as John would

1651
01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:27,000
Speaker 6: have said, he's a one star RB two, two star

1652
01:23:27,120 --> 01:23:30,679
Speaker 6: flex type of guy. So that's really it for the Titans.

1653
01:23:30,720 --> 01:23:33,080
Speaker 6: We can finish that up, you know, pretty quickly.

1654
01:23:33,320 --> 01:23:36,679
Speaker 2: Yep, that's unfortunate for Tennessee Titans, but we will see

1655
01:23:37,200 --> 01:23:40,679
Speaker 2: what it looks like for cam Wood and the Music

1656
01:23:40,720 --> 01:23:44,720
Speaker 2: City team moving forward. This next one final game of

1657
01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:47,200
Speaker 2: the slate and final game that we're going to discuss.

1658
01:23:47,920 --> 01:23:53,200
Speaker 2: The New York Giants and the Las Vegas Raiders just

1659
01:23:53,880 --> 01:23:58,599
Speaker 2: organizationally defunct both teams, I mean both teams.

1660
01:23:58,640 --> 01:23:59,560
Speaker 1: This is really.

1661
01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:02,680
Speaker 2: A battle for number one pick in the draft. Just

1662
01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:06,280
Speaker 2: a lot going on poorly with wolf organizations. But we

1663
01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:08,760
Speaker 2: got to break it down because they could be some

1664
01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:10,880
Speaker 2: hitting gems in this contest right here.

1665
01:24:11,439 --> 01:24:14,000
Speaker 1: Faraz, you drew the short stick, so you have the

1666
01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:15,200
Speaker 1: New York Giants.

1667
01:24:15,720 --> 01:24:16,599
Speaker 5: It seems like a theme.

1668
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:18,559
Speaker 4: I don't know if you guys are catching that, but

1669
01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:21,360
Speaker 4: it seems like a theme of this episode. But we

1670
01:24:21,439 --> 01:24:24,879
Speaker 4: got the tank bowl here between the Giants and the Raiders.

1671
01:24:25,439 --> 01:24:28,200
Speaker 4: The fight for the number one overall pick. But man,

1672
01:24:28,240 --> 01:24:31,000
Speaker 4: it's really tough to decide what to do with Jackson

1673
01:24:31,080 --> 01:24:35,639
Speaker 4: Dart after last week's debacle. He probably didn't help many

1674
01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:38,600
Speaker 4: make it to the championship game. But in case you

1675
01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:41,080
Speaker 4: made it through, you somehow sneath that you had Pooka

1676
01:24:41,200 --> 01:24:43,439
Speaker 4: Or maybe he didn't start Jackson Dart because you knew

1677
01:24:43,439 --> 01:24:46,519
Speaker 4: it was gonna be a tough matchup. His left tackle

1678
01:24:46,600 --> 01:24:50,400
Speaker 4: Andrew Thomas won't be playing, but also no Max Crosby

1679
01:24:50,840 --> 01:24:52,880
Speaker 4: this week either. The Raiders shut him down for the

1680
01:24:52,880 --> 01:24:57,160
Speaker 4: rest of the year. He hates it. He apparently stormed

1681
01:24:57,160 --> 01:24:59,280
Speaker 4: out of the building that those are the reports, but

1682
01:25:00,240 --> 01:25:02,799
Speaker 4: that to Dart. You know, he was the overall QB

1683
01:25:02,920 --> 01:25:06,639
Speaker 4: two in Fantasy points per game, only behind Josh Allen

1684
01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:09,720
Speaker 4: since he's been the starter coming into last week. So

1685
01:25:10,320 --> 01:25:13,400
Speaker 4: you know, do we just overweight last week's game and

1686
01:25:13,439 --> 01:25:15,080
Speaker 4: have a short memory, you know, to the point where

1687
01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:18,240
Speaker 4: you're looking for another option. I don't think we should.

1688
01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:20,439
Speaker 4: You know, I'm gonna give Dart three stars this week.

1689
01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:22,840
Speaker 4: He's got it done in some really tough matchups this year.

1690
01:25:23,200 --> 01:25:26,120
Speaker 4: He has that rushing ability even if they, you know,

1691
01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:28,400
Speaker 4: bring it down in terms of the design rushes. Because

1692
01:25:28,439 --> 01:25:30,479
Speaker 4: of the concussions and that sort of thing. I think

1693
01:25:30,479 --> 01:25:32,800
Speaker 4: he's still gonna get it done, you know, on those scrambles.

1694
01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:35,679
Speaker 4: If there's any defense I'm willing to give a quarterback

1695
01:25:35,720 --> 01:25:38,920
Speaker 4: a mulligan for, it's the Viking. So I'm back in

1696
01:25:39,080 --> 01:25:43,559
Speaker 4: on Dart this week. This backfield now, Tyrone Tracy lead

1697
01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:46,599
Speaker 4: dog in the Giants backfield right now. Singletary is still

1698
01:25:46,600 --> 01:25:48,880
Speaker 4: getting mixed in a little bit, particularly at the goal line,

1699
01:25:48,920 --> 01:25:51,639
Speaker 4: but Tracy is the guy. He's still averaged four point

1700
01:25:51,640 --> 01:25:54,559
Speaker 4: four yards per carry last week, despite you know, the

1701
01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:58,240
Speaker 4: tough outing overall for that for that offense, eighteen touches

1702
01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:01,760
Speaker 4: in that tough matchup, eighteen touches the week before, three

1703
01:26:01,880 --> 01:26:04,639
Speaker 4: top fifteen finishes over the last five weeks. So I'd

1704
01:26:04,680 --> 01:26:06,840
Speaker 4: call them a low end RB two this week in

1705
01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:10,160
Speaker 4: this matchup. Volume based play, but the Raiders are tied

1706
01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:12,880
Speaker 4: for the most rushing touchdowns giving up to running backs.

1707
01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:15,280
Speaker 4: They're giving up the set ninth most Fantasy points to

1708
01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:17,479
Speaker 4: running backs this year, the eighth most over the last

1709
01:26:17,520 --> 01:26:21,360
Speaker 4: eight weeks. You know, eighteen plus touches against that defense.

1710
01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:24,479
Speaker 4: I think I have to give Tracy three stars this week.

1711
01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:27,320
Speaker 4: It's kind of one of those things where you're just like, man,

1712
01:26:27,320 --> 01:26:30,400
Speaker 4: do I really want to start Tracy this week? I

1713
01:26:30,439 --> 01:26:33,080
Speaker 4: think I would Wando Robinson. You know, if you throw

1714
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:36,320
Speaker 4: out last week's game, you know, you look at his targets,

1715
01:26:36,560 --> 01:26:38,920
Speaker 4: averaging ten point five targets per game. In the six

1716
01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:41,680
Speaker 4: games coming into last week, the Raiders are giving up

1717
01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:44,360
Speaker 4: the six most receptions per game, the tenth most Fantasy

1718
01:26:44,360 --> 01:26:46,760
Speaker 4: points per game, the fifth most receiving touchdowns per game.

1719
01:26:47,080 --> 01:26:49,639
Speaker 4: You know, neutral matchup out of the slot, No Max Crosby.

1720
01:26:49,920 --> 01:26:53,519
Speaker 4: I think Wanda's a solid PPR wide receiver. Three you know,

1721
01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:57,040
Speaker 4: three stars in PPR. I would say maybe two stars otherwise.

1722
01:26:57,840 --> 01:26:59,679
Speaker 4: You know, But like, like I said, it's really tough

1723
01:26:59,680 --> 01:27:02,040
Speaker 4: to get a gauge on what this matchup is going

1724
01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:04,640
Speaker 4: to look like with two teams just desperately needing that

1725
01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:08,200
Speaker 4: first round pick, the first overall pick, right, so it's

1726
01:27:08,280 --> 01:27:11,080
Speaker 4: tough to kind of hang your hat, you know, with

1727
01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:13,479
Speaker 4: one of these guys. But yeah, I don't think I

1728
01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:15,840
Speaker 4: can trust Theo Johnson. You know, this week, first off,

1729
01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:18,000
Speaker 4: the Raiders have given you know, have actually been pretty

1730
01:27:18,040 --> 01:27:20,439
Speaker 4: good defending tight ends, but Johnson hasn't had more than

1731
01:27:20,479 --> 01:27:24,760
Speaker 4: three catches since week seven and just once since week five,

1732
01:27:24,800 --> 01:27:27,639
Speaker 4: so not ideal. I'll pass one star for THEO Johnson.

1733
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:29,560
Speaker 1: All right, John, go ahead and bring us home with

1734
01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:30,759
Speaker 1: the Las Vegas Raiders.

1735
01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:33,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, this one's easy enough for Raiders do it for

1736
01:27:33,360 --> 01:27:35,120
Speaker 3: twenty point team total. So you have to give him

1737
01:27:35,160 --> 01:27:37,479
Speaker 3: a little bit of attention. I think you know genty

1738
01:27:37,720 --> 01:27:40,120
Speaker 3: has been He's been a volume based play all season.

1739
01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:42,240
Speaker 3: Of course, the second I was ready to give up

1740
01:27:42,240 --> 01:27:45,400
Speaker 3: on him, he like did a two handed three sixty

1741
01:27:45,680 --> 01:27:48,439
Speaker 3: tomahawk dunk in my face. But such as life and

1742
01:27:48,479 --> 01:27:50,599
Speaker 3: again it's a game of opportunities, and he gets them

1743
01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:54,360
Speaker 3: against the world's worst defense, especially the Ryn defense. Giants

1744
01:27:54,400 --> 01:27:58,920
Speaker 3: are worst or second to worst in EPA success rate,

1745
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:01,960
Speaker 3: yards for carry, yards before and after contact with rush,

1746
01:28:02,200 --> 01:28:04,640
Speaker 3: explosive rush rates, and rushing touchdowns. So I think you

1747
01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:06,519
Speaker 3: have to start genty because the ceiling is going to

1748
01:28:06,560 --> 01:28:09,720
Speaker 3: be there, and Colt Miller might actually play. He got

1749
01:28:09,760 --> 01:28:11,760
Speaker 3: in a couple of limited practices the wide receiver room.

1750
01:28:11,800 --> 01:28:14,280
Speaker 3: I would ignore them outright. Trey Tucker is probably a

1751
01:28:14,320 --> 01:28:17,200
Speaker 3: desperation play as a de facto number one option versus

1752
01:28:17,280 --> 01:28:21,840
Speaker 3: bad defense. Brock Bauers is out. I think you start Meyer.

1753
01:28:22,040 --> 01:28:24,400
Speaker 3: He ran sixteen to twenty six routes last week and

1754
01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:26,640
Speaker 3: he was a tight end six without Brown earlier in

1755
01:28:26,680 --> 01:28:28,400
Speaker 3: the year. I don't think the volume of the running

1756
01:28:28,439 --> 01:28:30,320
Speaker 3: is there for Gino and the Giants. St is tanking,

1757
01:28:30,360 --> 01:28:32,479
Speaker 3: so you're really you won't really want to avoid the Raiders.

1758
01:28:32,479 --> 01:28:37,360
Speaker 3: But again, when opportunity calls, Myers and genty could definitely

1759
01:28:37,360 --> 01:28:38,240
Speaker 3: get his home this weekend.

1760
01:28:39,160 --> 01:28:41,920
Speaker 2: All right, thanks a lot, good stuff everybody, not only

1761
01:28:41,960 --> 01:28:44,479
Speaker 2: today but throughout the course of the season.

1762
01:28:45,479 --> 01:28:47,800
Speaker 1: Good luck to each and every last single one on you.

1763
01:28:47,840 --> 01:28:51,800
Speaker 2: In week seventeen you have Fantasy Footbaul Championship round. Can't

1764
01:28:51,800 --> 01:28:54,000
Speaker 2: forget to give a shout out to my man Brian Johnson,

1765
01:28:54,439 --> 01:29:00,520
Speaker 2: but John Legeza and Matt Lamark, Coreys and Fantasy executive

1766
01:29:00,720 --> 01:29:01,280
Speaker 2: good luck.

1767
01:29:01,439 --> 01:29:02,200
Speaker 1: We are out.

1768
01:29:20,640 --> 01:29:20,680
Speaker 4: M
