00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,880

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from my Heart Radio,

Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and

4
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: advices from Guillotine Leagues dot com. Here's your host. Welcome

5
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 1: to a week to edition of Fantasy Football Weekly. I

6
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: am Paul Giarchy and my co host today are Scott

7
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: Fish and Brian Johnson. Hey, guys, it seems like I'd

8
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,919
Speaker 1: never leave now. I don't just always love having you here.

9
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:39,599
Speaker 1: It's fantastic. Brian, Um, not as much you, but you know,

10
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: but you're here. There were that there were ones of

11
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: people asking me if I was gonna be on the

12
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 1: show today. I was missed by something. One was like

13
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: my mom, Yeah. The other was both of your guys,

14
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: Mom's well and you and your new puppy very concerned.

15
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: Your teams are either one in or oh and one.

16
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: If you're only in one league, and the temptation is

17
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: to feel like if you're want to know you nailed it.

18
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: And if you're temptation is your temptation of your oh

19
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: and one is to go, oh, my team is a disaster.

20
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: Most likely you know you're gonna end up one and

21
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: one at the end of this week, and you're somewhere

22
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: in between those two spots, and it's probably not as

23
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: good or bad as you think, and it'll all even

24
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: out a little bit. Take um, as just one example,

25
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: the Mike Williams game from week one to week two.

26
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: You know, those are the kinds of things that happened

27
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: that tend to level the playing field a little bit

28
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: in fantasy football in week two. The only people who

29
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: should truly be upset about Week one are those who

30
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 1: were chopped in their Guillotine league. Those those people. But

31
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: everyone else has calmed down. There's a lot of season left,

32
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: you are, okay, plenty of season left at guillotine leagues

33
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: dot com. By the way, we're still forming new leagues,

34
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: seventeen person leagues through this week out at least sixteen

35
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: next week as well, will be the week after. Wait,

36
00:01:53,640 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out how math works by zero

37
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: carry the one. Yes, that's exactly right. We've got plenty

38
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: to get to. Over the course of this show, we

39
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: will break down all of the games Fantasy Football Weekly style,

40
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: with letter grades on all of the players. We will

41
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: go through our favorite players upon whom you can take

42
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: a chance we will answer three tough questions, and we

43
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: will go into the time machine to give you some

44
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: preman speculation. Near the end of the show, we begin

45
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: with our first matchup of the week, Cardinals taking on

46
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: the Raiders. Cardinals basically couldn't have looked worse in all

47
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: the first game. Boy, they that defense that the Chiefs

48
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: will make a lot of defenses look bad, but I

49
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: think they're legitimately bad by any standard. Yeah, yeah, it

50
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,839
Speaker 1: did not look good last week. Luckily for Murray, things

51
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 1: should be maybe a little bit better this week. Las

52
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: Vegas was the fifth worst against quarterbacks last week, but

53
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: I mean you got to take into account that they

54
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: played Justin Herbert, so maybe it was just a Justin

55
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: Herbert thing. But Kyler Murray has been a pretty dang

56
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: good fantasy quarterback or last few years. Uh. The offense

57
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 1: was bad, as we've mentioned, and Murray's day and really

58
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown and zach ERT's day were saved by being

59
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: down thirty in the fourth. That's not even hyper hyperbole,

60
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: Like it was thirty seven to seven and those two

61
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,839
Speaker 1: had forty total yards and no scores. They got two

62
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: touchdowns right at the end to make it the sledding

63
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: is gonna get a little easier here. Murray might need

64
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: to get a couple on his a couple with his

65
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: a couple of points with his legs, but I still

66
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: have a B grade on him. In a matchup that

67
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: has the second highest over under total of the week

68
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 1: should still be a pretty decent shootout. Um. I have

69
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: Greg Doorche on the bench of snaps, leading targets tied,

70
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: and routes run. I almost want to give him a

71
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: sea here. I just don't know that I can count

72
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: on it yet. I just don't know that maybe a

73
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: J Ground, a J Brown, a JA Green gets more involved. Uh,

74
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 1: he's got the better matchup. Greg Dortch actually has one

75
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: of the worst matchups in the NFL this week, going

76
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: against one of the league's best up and coming slot corners,

77
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: Nate Hobbs. Yeah, they're nickelback slot corner. He's just he

78
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: might take Greg Dortch out. So you got the plus

79
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: matchups on the sides with Green and Brown. I do

80
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: have a bench grade on Green because he's almost a

81
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: decaying corpse of AJ Green at this point. But I

82
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: do have the C grade on Marquise Brown. I could

83
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: see him being upped from that, but he's gonna get

84
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 1: bench player now turned into starter. With Anthony Everett out,

85
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: Meek Robinson or Rock you have seen, those guys will

86
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: be on the outside covering Green and Brown in this one.

87
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: Brown played on the outside last week, so that's where

88
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: he'll be. Uh se grade on him. You could talk

89
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: me into a B if you want to, but I

90
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: think a C grade is fair. Zach Ertz, I'm given

91
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 1: a B grade. Good matchup against the Vegas team who

92
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: was bottom five by almost every metric against ted ends

93
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 1: last year. They just allowed six six receptions for seventy

94
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: eight yards and the score to tight ends last week

95
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: and that Chargers game. He has been dealing with calf injury,

96
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: but he played through it last week and he ran

97
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: twenty seven routes. No other tight end even ran a

98
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: route for them last week, so he gets everything. He

99
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: gets everything. He he got all the red zone targets

100
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: for tight ends. He got everything. So be in a

101
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: good matchup for earths and just the scarcity at the position.

102
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: James Conner also getting a B grade here, played ad

103
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: percent of the Cardinals snaps inside the ten yard line,

104
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: which you love to see with your fantasy running back

105
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: inside the five is even better. I hear charge that's

106
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: that's something like. Uh, he had fit he played fifteen

107
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: of the two. He had fifteen of the twenty two

108
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: running back touches. He's basically getting it all. The nice

109
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: part is he had five catches on six targets. He's

110
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: taking the pass game work, which we thought might go

111
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: to Benjamin a little bit. It really didn't. Benjamin had

112
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: some of it. He only had seven touches. I got

113
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: Benjamin on the bench. I got Connor with a b

114
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 1: as he seemingly and every down back. We'll see how

115
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 1: much he gets out of it this but can expect

116
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 1: fifteen plus touches. Uh. I just can't give him an

117
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: A on this one yet. I need to see I

118
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: need to see a little more um and he also

119
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: he needs touchdowns on the other side. Derek Carr A grade.

120
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I love this. I absolutely love this match up.

121
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: I'm totally with you on this. Yeah, so adding Davantae

122
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: Adams is pretty big. You could argue targets last week. Absolutely,

123
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: you could argue, uh, you know, some of the best

124
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: weapons in the NFL with there are a few better

125
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: slot guys than than Hunter Renfrow, and he's got Waller

126
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,039
Speaker 1: and Adams Arizona. Let Herbert go. Hey, I'm last week

127
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: the Vegas totals. I've already mentioned. Um, you know, I'm

128
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 1: also giving Davantae Adams and A grade here, but I

129
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: need a ruling from Brian. Brian, I need a ruling

130
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: from you on this. On Davantae Adams obviously ton of targets,

131
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: he's their number one receiver. It's going to be a shootout.

132
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: It's an obvious A grade. But his grandparents are have

133
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 1: never seen him play a professional game in the state, Like,

134
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: they've never gone to the stadium for person in person,

135
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: and they're coming this week for the first time. He's

136
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: super excited about that. Is that enough for an ard Vark?

137
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: Just like you've got you know me, I'm more of

138
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: a Fonzie guy, but I will give him the A

139
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 1: for that. The grandparents game, I love it. I love that. Okay,

140
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: grandparents game. Uh, we're giving the art Vark. What happened?

141
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: We used to have Fonzi A on the on the

142
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: sound bar. I'm gonna have the fons N motorcycle. We

143
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: need our Fonzie A back on the back on the

144
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: sound bar. Speaking of as, it's an a for Darren

145
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 1: Waller as well. The Cardinals got the fun draw this

146
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: year of Kelsey exploding for ade yards and score last week.

147
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: They weren't great against tight ends last year, and they

148
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: get Darren Waller this week. It reminds me kind of

149
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: the Ravens last year, didn't They started with Kelsey and

150
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: Waller and Hawkinson and like so for the rest of

151
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 1: the year, we're gonna think that the Cardinals are just

152
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: bad against tight ends, when really they started out on

153
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: this slope. Um Waller was actually really productive with his opportunities.

154
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: He only had four catches, but he had seventy nine yards.

155
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: He should actually get more work in this one eight

156
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: grade on Waller B grade Josh Jacobs, It's hard not

157
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: to like the usage we saw. Despite the totals. He

158
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of yards, was almost six yards

159
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: of carry, gave him the ball twelve times exactly. It's

160
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: the usage I like, and I think he's going to

161
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: get more volume in this higher scoring game. Here. He

162
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: ran more more routes than all the other Vegas runners combined.

163
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: He had eleven of the sixteen touches or twelve of

164
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: the sixteen touches. Uh backups spelled him, but they didn't

165
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: have an actual role, not a pass catching role, not

166
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: a red zone role, not a two man role. He

167
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: was the lead guy and he got the over seventy

168
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: of the work. I got a B grade on Jacobs

169
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: in a matchup. I think he surpasses that twelve from

170
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: last week and he goes fifteen plus. All right, let's

171
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: go to the Bucks at Saints and Brian for the Buccaneers.

172
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: It's a disaster scenario for fantasy owners and the Bucks

173
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: really across their wide receiver position. We gotta give a

174
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 1: quick shout out to loyal listener Mark McNeil who dubbed

175
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: them the questionnaires this week about that very considering we

176
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: know that I believe they have five wide receivers that

177
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: all have the questionable designation coming into this game, and

178
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin has been ruled out. Yeah, so we'll start

179
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: with Mike Evans. He has he's dealing with the cap injury.

180
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: He did practice on Friday, so we'll assume he's gonna

181
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: play on Sunday just to see for him though he

182
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: should see extra targets with Godwin out, but Evans will

183
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: see a lot of Marshawn Lattimore in coverage, which is

184
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: which is a tough matchup. Evans managed to score in

185
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: one of two games against the Saints last year, pretty total,

186
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: just three catches for sixty two yards across both contests,

187
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: So not very high expectations for Evans and this one.

188
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: Julio Jones questionable with a knee injury. He also practiced

189
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: on Friday, though, so he should be good to go.

190
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 1: He did not look washed last Sunday night at all

191
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: and made a couple of highlight catches look great. Only

192
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: saw five targets, but Tampa Bay was running all over

193
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: Dallas in that game. The game script was not in

194
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: his favor. That could change this week. He'll see a

195
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: lot of Bradley Roby, who allowed a catch rate and

196
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: a twenty one passer rating in his coverage last week.

197
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: So I like Jones more than I do Evans this week,

198
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: assuming both play, which we are going to assume that

199
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: as of right now. Russell Gauge questionable with a hamstring injury.

200
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: Gonna give him a see though I saw just two

201
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: targets in Week one, only ran eighteen pass routes, but

202
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 1: he should see a bump in those numbers with God

203
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: went out, So I think he is startable in this

204
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: one with the Sea and who is not startable are

205
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: the tight ends. They're all on the bench unless Gronk

206
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: somehow unretires before to kickoff. Think the ends had one

207
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: catch in the in the last in last week's game. Yeah,

208
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: it's not a great matchup regardless, but yeah, you don't

209
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: want to touch the tight ends on Tampa Bay and

210
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. You barely want to touch him, just to

211
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: see for him. Opposing quarterbacks average just two hundred forty

212
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: three passing yards at one point two touchdowns against New

213
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 1: Orleans last season, and the Bucks offensive line is a

214
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,960
Speaker 1: major concern right now. The Saints have allowed a completion

215
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 1: rate of just thirty four point six percent when the

216
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 1: opposing quarterback was under pressure since the season. That is

217
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: the best in the NFL. So Brady is gonna be

218
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: under a lot of drest in this game, so just

219
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: to see for him. And lastly for the Bucks, another

220
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 1: questionable player, Leonard for Nette, dealing with a hamstring injury.

221
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: Assuming he's good to go, you still want to monitor

222
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: his status of course, leave you know, to kick off,

223
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: but if he does play, do not like the matchup

224
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 1: at all. The Saints defense allowed successful plays on rush

225
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 1: attempts on just thirty of them last season. That's best

226
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: in the NFL. And if you're wondering what wondering what

227
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: a successful rush play is, it's basically four yards at

228
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: least four yards and situational. If it's fourth and one,

229
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: A successful rush play is one. I could get more

230
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: in the weeds until but no, we won't do that.

231
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: UM Over to the New Orleans side. More questionable tags here,

232
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: starting with Alvin Kamara, who did not practice on Friday

233
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 1: with the rib injury. I'm just gonna give him a

234
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 1: CEE even if he's good to go. Um, this is

235
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 1: a bad matchup for Kamara the Saints. I'm sorry that

236
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 1: the Bucks have a lot of troubling issues, but the

237
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: run defense is not one of them. After stuffing Zeke

238
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 1: last week, Jonathan Taylor is the only opposing running back

239
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: to top eighty rushing yards against the Bucks over their

240
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 1: last thirteen games, and kamaras struggled mightily in his last

241
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: game against Tampa Bay that was last season, of course,

242
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: totally just thirty one scoreless combo yards and if Kamara

243
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,559
Speaker 1: somehow SAIDs mark Ingram is the next guy up. But

244
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I started Ingram in this matchup.

245
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: It's just the Bucks. You just don't want to start

246
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: running back to pick the Bucks unless they're an elite talent. Thursday,

247
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas is practicing and is healthy as of right now.

248
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: I saw healthy eight targets in Week one average the

249
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: third most points per drop back among wide receivers. He's

250
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: in a pretty good spot against the Bucks, who allowed

251
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: the fourth most receptions to opposing wide receivers last season.

252
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: That means I like the other two wide white outs

253
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 1: for the Saints, starting with the Jarvis Landry and give

254
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: him a c quite the Saints debut seven catches a

255
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen yards, including a forty yard catch that

256
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: was all airy yards. That's more air yards then Jarvis

257
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: Landry is seen a tired that's coming to earth. Exactly

258
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: were you wanting to say something? Your hand is raised? Okay?

259
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: Uh jokes aside, Lander looks like a steal so far

260
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 1: in reality and fantasy football, but he has a little

261
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: tougher matchup against Tampa Bayed slot quarter in Antoine Winfield,

262
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: probably the best corner on the team, Chris olav Lastly,

263
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: for the wide Receiver's gonna give him a see led

264
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 1: all Saints wide receivers and snaps last week, but only

265
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: saw three targets. That said, he made the most of them,

266
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: catching all three for forty one yards in a two

267
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: point conversion. Just like the Bucks. You got all the

268
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: tight ends on the bench for the Saints, but Jawan

269
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:27,840
Speaker 1: Johnson and guy you want to keep an eye on,

270
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 1: I think we talk about more. Talk more about him

271
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: later in the show. And lastly, Jamis Winston, he's on

272
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: the bench. I gave all the pass catchers like middling grades.

273
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean they're all gonna come through. Going back to

274
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 1: last year, Tampa Bay has held seven of its last

275
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: eleven opposing quarterbacks to zero or one touchdowns. When we

276
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 1: come back, take a chance on me. Nine players you

277
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 1: can put in your starting lineup. Find out who they are.

278
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 1: You may already have injury issues, you might have lineup deficiencies,

279
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: were ready to help you unearthed some gems. Take a

280
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: chance on me when we come back, Take a chance

281
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: on me. Not nine, but ten players upon whom you

282
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: can take a chance. Guys that are not normally in

283
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: your starting lineup may be available on the waiver wire.

284
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 1: We begin at the quarterback position. Scott, who is your

285
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: take a chance on me quarterback? Sounds like we got

286
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: a surprise coming ten players. I'm gonna I'm gonna add

287
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,320
Speaker 1: players now too. I'm going with Matt Ryan going against

288
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: the Jags. That just allowed Carson Wentz to finish the

289
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: week as a top three quarterback and throw four touchdown passes.

290
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: Who's gonna throw those two? I wonder Ryan went for

291
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: yards in a touch on last week and in a

292
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: much more difficult matchup. Um was a couple of drops away,

293
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 1: actually two drops away from a four hundred plus multi

294
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: touchdown last week. That would have been nice. Yeah. Uh,

295
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: let's go to Brian your take a chance at me quarterback.

296
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: I have good friend of the show, Davis Mills at

297
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: the Broncos this week. Last week, Geno Smith only threw

298
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: for yards against Denver, but that was only pass attempts,

299
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: twenty three of which went for completions. That's a completion maybe,

300
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: and Gino also threw for two touchdowns no picks. So

301
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: I like Mills this week. Going back to last season,

302
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: the Broncos have allowed at least one touchdown pass in

303
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: fourteen of their last fifteen games, with multiple touchdown passes allowed,

304
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 1: and more than half of those games. I will continue

305
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: to say Davis Mills. There is no player in fantasy

306
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: football being more overlooked than Davis and fostered in most leagues.

307
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: It will become offensive to use him as a take on.

308
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to that at some point this season.

309
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: I hope you're right. Trey Lance faces Seattle. I like

310
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: him this week in a bounce back game. Seattle just

311
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: play their super Bowl. That was a nationally televised game

312
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: against the quarterback who spurned them. They got an upset win,

313
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: major letdown coming on the road for them, and all

314
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: you know, Lance obviously had the monsoon. He had one

315
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: bad pick last week, but otherwise I thought he looked fine.

316
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:15,040
Speaker 1: And the running is is clearly present there. And I

317
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: don't think George Kittle is gonna go, but maybe gets

318
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: George Kittle back, But even it does, it doesn't matter.

319
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: Deevo Samuel Brandon Ike against the secondary of Sydney Jones

320
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,480
Speaker 1: and Justin Coleman and rookie Terreq Willen, and then safety

321
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams is out and his replacement, a guy named

322
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: Josh Jones a loot four of five passes to be

323
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: completed in his coverage. It's all great for Trey Lance,

324
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: and I think we're gonna get the version of Lance

325
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: that we wanted, the dual threat running and passing coming

326
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: back this week. Let's go to the running back position. Scott,

327
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: who is your take a chance on me runner? Yes?

328
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: So the Indian Polis Colts talked about this all offseason,

329
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: putting heinz he Hines that is in the slot wide

330
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: receiver roll along with his running back role. What happened

331
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: Week one? Hines ran twenty routes last week on twenty

332
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: six steps, most of them out of the slot. The

333
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 1: Jags were the third worst team against the slot last week.

334
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: Last year there were ninth worst. Hines caught all six

335
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: of those targets for fifty yards last week, a role

336
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: they had talked about, and uh I projected that this

337
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: week as well. Five plus catch game and some extra

338
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 1: running work. Running back work, all right, I like it, Brian,

339
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: you take a chance of me runner. We're gonna stick

340
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 1: with the running back receiving angle and go with Tony

341
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 1: Pollard at home against the Bengals, who were top five

342
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: in the most catches and yards surrendered to running backs

343
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: last season. Last week, not G Harris caught a touchdown

344
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: against Since And let's be honest, it's quite plausible that

345
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush will be under constant pressure and looking to

346
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: dump off to his running backs early and often in

347
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: this game. Khalil Herbert's taking on Green Bay. And even

348
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: though in last week's game David Montgomery had twice as

349
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: many carries for half as much yards as Khalil Herbert,

350
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm sterned eye test here is starting

351
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: to lean towards Khalil Herbert as the better of the

352
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: running backs. Get this. Montgomery only averaged half a yard

353
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: after contact per carry against San Francisco. That was second

354
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: lowest among all running backs. Last week. The Packers run

355
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: defense earned a PFF ranking of twenty seventh. Last week,

356
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook Alexander Madison rolled up hundred twenty eight yards.

357
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: Even though Montgomery will get the probably continue to get

358
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,959
Speaker 1: more quite a bit more work than than Khalil Herbert,

359
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 1: there might be enough there where Herbert becomes a plausible starter.

360
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: This week. Let's go to the receivers. Scott, you'll take

361
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: a chance on me wide out. No, it's not gonna

362
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 1: be a wide out this time. It's gonna be a

363
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: tight end because people need tight end help charge and

364
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: I am here for it. I'm going with Evan Ingram.

365
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: I know, I know it's gonna gross. But Evan Ingram uh.

366
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,680
Speaker 1: He played of snaps and was the only tight end

367
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:49,360
Speaker 1: in that offense to see any targets last week. His opponent,

368
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: the Colts, were the fourth worst against tight ends last year,

369
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,679
Speaker 1: allowing the third most receptions and third most yards. The

370
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: Colts continued that trend just last week, allowing O. J.

371
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 1: Howard to somehow scored. He's on just six routes he ran. Uh.

372
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 1: Shack Leonard is also out. You were, yet again making

373
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: things a little bit easier in the middle of the

374
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: field for having Ingram, Brian, you're take a chance at

375
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: me wide out. I presumed wide out. I'm going wide out,

376
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna go wide out. That everyone seems to

377
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 1: have forgotten about. And that's Buffalo. Buffalo's Jamison Crowder at

378
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: home against the Titans. Yes, Isaiah Mackenzie scored the slot

379
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: touchdown for the Bills last week, but Crowder had more

380
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 1: targets catches and yards than Mackenzie and looking at the matchup,

381
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: Tennessee was the worst team in defending the slot last season.

382
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: And these stats come courtesy of Scott Fish kind enough

383
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: to give them to me. The Titans gave up the

384
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 1: most PPR points to the slot last year. Sixty of

385
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: the points they surrendered to wide receivers were slot wide receivers,

386
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: and twenty one or thirteen of the twenty one touchdown

387
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: surrender to wide receivers went to slot receivers. Like, can

388
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 1: I start Mackenzie and Crowder? You can, but I like

389
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: Crowder more as the take on. Everyone's gonna start Mackenzie

390
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 1: Basically he'll get a sea later on. Spoiler alert, spoiler alert,

391
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: and real quick these teams met last year. Yeah cool,

392
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: Beasley had seven catches for eighty eight yards in a

393
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 1: touchdown and many Sanders had five catches for but don't

394
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: but don't leave Jamison. Crowder unstarted speaking of slot receivers

395
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: in a plot twist to Bizar for even Hollywood. Paris

396
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: Campbell is the one healthy remaining receiver for Indianapolis. Alec

397
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: Pierce is out. Michael Pittman didn't practice the week. He's

398
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: presumed out and Paris Hilton faces at Jacksonville Secondary that

399
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 1: just allowed four touchdowns to the modest Commander's passing attack.

400
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: As Scott alluded to earlier, Jaguars slot cornerback is a

401
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: guy named Darius Williams. Pro Football Focus is bottom ranked

402
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 1: cornerback from last week, ranking as cornerback one hundred seventeen

403
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: last week, allowing five of six passes in his coverage

404
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: to be completed. Paris Campbell, take a chance on me,

405
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: but wait, you may have added up a total of nine.

406
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 1: Take a chance on me players, and I promise ten Scott.

407
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: Do people need tight end sleepers? They do a wow

408
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: Tyler Higbee. Shockingly, Higbie emerged from week one as the

409
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 1: leader in targets among all tight ends with eleven, something

410
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: I think most of us would not have guessed. Just

411
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: need him to catch more this year. That would be

412
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: better to catch more, caught like four or five out

413
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: of the eleven. Um. It looks like if Allen Robinson

414
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 1: is going to continue to be a confringe contributor for

415
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 1: the Rams offense, Fan Jefferson's out for this game, this

416
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: could be another very impactful spot for Tyler Higbee up

417
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: against Atlanta Falcons allowed the anonymous tight end John Johnson

418
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 1: to roll up forty three yards, suggesting a far better

419
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 1: tight end Tyler Higbee can improve on that performance a lot,

420
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 1: and last year Atlanta allowed the fourth most tight end scores.

421
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:51,199
Speaker 1: So a little a double a double header, take a

422
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: chance on me, Paris Campbell, Tyler Higbee. Uh, let's return

423
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: to the Let's return to the matchups, and oh you

424
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:03,160
Speaker 1: know what I'm up next? Commanders taking on Detroit, Let's

425
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: begin with Antonio Gibson. For all of our worries in

426
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 1: the preseason, Gibson basically shut us all up. He showed explosiveness.

427
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 1: He ran for uh ten or more yards on a

428
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: third of his attempts against Jacksonville topped it off of

429
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 1: a career high seven receptions for seventy two yards. Detroit

430
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: allowed Philadelphia to drive the ball in them all game long.

431
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 1: Four different Eagles scored rushing touchdowns. They ran for over

432
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 1: two yards on thirty nine combined carries. That was five

433
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: and a half yards per attempt, and the Lions only

434
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: held opposing running backs under ninety yards four times in

435
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,880
Speaker 1: the last twenty four games. So we like Antonio Gibson

436
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: with an A grade boy, I'm putting mckissic on the

437
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: bench because mckissic thrives on negative game scripts, something that

438
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: Washington generally has but did not have last week and

439
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 1: probably will not have this week as well. Detroit. I

440
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 1: don't see the big deficit coming against Detroit's possible, but

441
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 1: I don't see it coming here. So we're gonna keep

442
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: j D. McKissick on the bench and wait for an

443
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: opportunity for the Commanders to get blown out. And you

444
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 1: love putting mc kissick on the bench. It gives you

445
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: great jolie. I do for some for some reason, I do.

446
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:16,199
Speaker 1: I admitted j D mc suck it. Let's go to Washington,

447
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: where Terry McLaurin gets a B grade and mains a

448
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 1: terrific option for Wentz and operating on the outside, He's

449
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: got a very favorable match up against Jeff Foukuda anytime

450
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 1: he lines up on the right side of the field.

451
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: Kudas trying to salvage his young career after a variety

452
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: of injuries have really unfortunately put his career in peril.

453
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: Last week, a Kuda allowed four of five targets in

454
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: his coverage to be completed. I like Terry McLaurin. Curtis

455
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: Samuel came out of the gates with a really strong

456
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: game early in the first half. They didn't go back

457
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: to him as much as they thought they should, and

458
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: I thought he looked great. Um he looked like his

459
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 1: slippery twenty version when Curtis Samuel was a very viable

460
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 1: fantasy producer. He'll go up in the slide against Mike

461
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: Hughes now in his third team in three years. Hughes

462
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: was only targeted one time last week, but he did

463
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 1: allow that catch and then he allowed twenty five yards

464
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 1: after that catch. So we'll try Curtis Samuel here with

465
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: a C grade as well, and Logan Thomas six targets

466
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: in his first game back from a C l Great

467
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 1: news for him and as savvy waiver wire pick up

468
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 1: for anybody struggling at tight end. By the way, last

469
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 1: year the Lions gave up the second most yards to

470
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 1: tight ends and then probably gave up sixty yards to Dallas.

471
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 1: God heard last week. I like Logan Thomas here, C

472
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: grade on him, and that leaves us with Carson Wentz

473
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: if I like his receivers. McLaurin, Samuel Thomas, all starting

474
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: grades there I've got a B grade on him. He

475
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 1: flung at forty one times last week, and even though

476
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 1: there were some mistakes, he had two pretty ugly interceptions.

477
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 1: The Commander's passing attack looked pretty refreshed this year, so

478
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: I'm giving him a B grade. For Carson Wentz and

479
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 1: let's go over to the Lions side on this Beginning

480
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: with the running game, you're gonna have to monitor DeAndre Swift.

481
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: He's got an ankle injury. He swears he's gonna play,

482
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,880
Speaker 1: But running backs and ankle injuries, no bueno. You need

483
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: to be careful here. Cut is a huge part of

484
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: his game. Got great example, Um Barkley at the high

485
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 1: ankle sprain. We can just you know, we can. We

486
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 1: don't have any reasonably that's the case for Swift, who

487
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 1: probably would not be playing. But show a little bit

488
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 1: more caution here, and I've downgraded him to a B

489
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: grade despite the phenomenal game he had last week, posting

490
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 1: a hundred forty four rushing yards um had by the

491
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: way five yards of ten or more. Washington allowed five

492
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: point four yards per carry between the tackles last week,

493
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 1: and they babe maybe without defensive lineman Jonathan Allen and

494
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 1: Fedarian mathis due to injury. So we're gonna keep a

495
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 1: B grade on DeAndre Swift and we're gonna keep watching

496
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 1: this goal line situation because last week Jamal Williams turned

497
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,920
Speaker 1: two goal line carries into two touchdowns. Now, if you're

498
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: the coaching staff of the lines, you're going, well, he

499
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: converted those carries to touchdowns. We're gonna keep doing this,

500
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: and with Swift gimpy, Williams could see an upticking usage

501
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: and will probably continue to get goal line use. So

502
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,399
Speaker 1: we'll have a C grade on Jamal Williams in this

503
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: grade A game, and we'll upgrade him to a B

504
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: if it turns out that DeAndre Swift does not go.

505
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,639
Speaker 1: Let's go to the receivers for the Lions. I'm on

506
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 1: raw St Brown saw career high twelve targets last week,

507
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: which pretty much vaporized the narrative that he got all

508
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: those targets last year because everybody else was hurt. Um

509
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: Washington's defense allowed an average depth of target of eight

510
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: point six yards per reception last season. That was third most.

511
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: I'm on ras St Brown will face Ben st Juice

512
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: in the slot. Well, he kind of is he ranks

513
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 1: his cornerback by Pro Football Focus through one week, so

514
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: strong advantage to I'm on ros st Brown with an

515
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: A grade. DJ Chark saw whopping eight targets and looks

516
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: like a legit deep ball threat. Last week, the Commanders

517
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: gave Robby Anderson and d J. Moore and average of

518
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 1: almost eight yards of Cookshion, second worst of any receiver tandem.

519
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: Big play possibilities here for DJ Chark with a B

520
00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,639
Speaker 1: grade in this game, and if I like it, I've

521
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: had a B grades on the receivers, I gotta put

522
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,400
Speaker 1: a B great on. Jared Goff played a solid game

523
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: last week, almost rallied his team to a massive come

524
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: from behind win and put up plenty of points in

525
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: that game. And I like his receivers, so I like

526
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: golf as well. T J. Hockenson ce grade. He's seen

527
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 1: seven or more targets in nine of his last thirteen

528
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: healthy games, and he's averaged over sixty yards per game

529
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 1: when he gets that kind of volume. Hopefully that holds here.

530
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: Washington gives up seven targets per game to tight ends

531
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 1: and did last year eighth most yards as well, so

532
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: the opportunity should be there for Hockinson. Just need to

533
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,359
Speaker 1: see more overall productivity before we put a stronger grade

534
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,159
Speaker 1: than a se Alright, our next matchup, in final matchup

535
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: of this segment, Jets taking on the Browns Scott for

536
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:50,880
Speaker 1: New York. They threw the ball fifty nine times last week. Yeah,

537
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: that's that's not gonna happen. Not that should not ever happen. No, No,

538
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: Flecko hasn't thrown it more than forty four times in

539
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: like four years. That's that's not gonna happen. I do

540
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: think this is gonna be a high volume passing offense

541
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: this year. I think they'll have negative game scripts a lot.

542
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 1: No that that will be a thing. But no, the

543
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 1: Browns allowed thirty three attempts per game to quarterbacks last year,

544
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: twenty seven in the opener to Mayfield. I think you're

545
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,560
Speaker 1: looking more at that, and that goes for the wide receivers.

546
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: When you look at those guys, Corey Davis and Garrett

547
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: Wilson what they did in week one. Don't live off

548
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: week one stats because you're getting twenty extra pass attempts

549
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: that you're not gonna see most weeks fifteen to twenty.

550
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 1: I actually do have Davis and Wilson on the bench

551
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 1: in this one. UM, I need to see it more

552
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 1: out of them and see their role with Flacco when

553
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: Flacco is not spreading. That's the other problem, when Flacco

554
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: is not spreading around seven different players tallied seven or

555
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: more targets. Uh. The only guy I truly truly trust

556
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: in this which is a a really good match up,

557
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,680
Speaker 1: a really tough matchup against the Brown's team that was

558
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: top ten in a lot of categories last year. They

559
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: only allowed sixteen wide receiver touchdowns over seven in teen

560
00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: weeks last year, they and and even last even last week,

561
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: the one touchdown they allowed was a seventy five yard

562
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 1: broken coverage play, right, Uh so they did not allow

563
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 1: a lot I do. I'm giving Elijah Moore the C

564
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: grade though he's gonna line up on the opposite side

565
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 1: of Denzel Award for most of the game against rookie

566
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: Martin Anderson. If he does that, he gets a C grade.

567
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: You can you know a factor in the ward blew

568
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: a fifty yard played Ian Thomas last week. He did

569
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: blow a coverage last week. He's not the Denzel Award

570
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: of three years ago. But uh, I have a C

571
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: grade on more bench grades on Davison Wilson, bench grade

572
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: on Flacco, bench grade on Tyler Cochlin. His his results

573
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: last week were very very uh, you know, volume based.

574
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 1: He's gonna need a touchdown to score in the running game.

575
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: This is where it gets. It gets tricky sometimes with

576
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: these two. This year, it's gonna be tricky all year.

577
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 1: I think we're looking at the next Jones, Dillon Gordon

578
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: Javonte type of situation here with Carter and Bruce Hall.

579
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 1: Carter was the starter and the main back, and they

580
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: said that going going in. Uh, they're both they both

581
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: seem like they're going to be start worthy in spots

582
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 1: this week. Nineteen of theft Flacco targets went to running backs,

583
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 1: which is really nice to see, but Carter was clearly

584
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: the one a higher snaps, better usage. Hall saw the

585
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 1: only running back touch inside the ten. Uh, he saw

586
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: the two minute work um against the Browns team that

587
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: held McCaffrey in check. Though Carter is only gonna get

588
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: a C grade for me, and because Hall is the

589
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: one b and only had twelve twelve touches in a

590
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: game where they ran eighty four offensive plays. Just you know,

591
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: they average sixty nine plays a game. Last year, he

592
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: only got twelve touches last week, I have him on

593
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: the bench. Over on the other side, you're not starting,

594
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 1: Jacoby per said. He was fairly he looked, he looked

595
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: absolutely terrible. Jets. Jets are a great matchup. You know,

596
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: their bottom twelve allowing the more yards and than than

597
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: most of the teams in the league. But he should

598
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: be on the bench. Uh, People's Jones and Cooper I

599
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 1: have C grades on them. I think they're the only

600
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,160
Speaker 1: really two startable wide receivers on this team and barely Uh.

601
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: People's Jones leave the team and routes, run targets yards,

602
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: all while being shadowed by Donte Johnson. If you remember

603
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 1: back to last year we talked about this teams CB

604
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: ones were shadowing and covering Donovan People's Jones over Landry

605
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: like he was the one. And this year they're doing

606
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: it again with Cooper. Uh they're they're they're on People's

607
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 1: Jones as if he's the one. Uh So, Cooper, I'm

608
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: giving the C grade. He was second most targeted, didn't

609
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,480
Speaker 1: do a lot, but he might see the second dB

610
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,640
Speaker 1: in this People's Jones seems to have a vibe with

611
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: pre sent and he's getting the volume. I do have

612
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: a C grade there in a in a game in

613
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: a decent matchup for wide receivers against the Jets, najok

614
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: Wu I have on the bench. The Jets allowed of

615
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: five for fifty two days Andrews, which is okay. Joker's

616
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: day was terrible and Brissette cannot support three different pass catchers.

617
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: I was hesitant even giving two Sea grades in that

618
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: receiving corps. I don't blame and for Chubb and Hunt.

619
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt last year win together. Chub

620
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: average twenty touches per game, Hunt fifteen per games to

621
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: fan Sky giving this running backs thirty to thirty five. Wait,

622
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 1: this is what I said last week, and it's the

623
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 1: same thing this week. A grade for Chubb. Be great

624
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 1: for Hunt because he gets all the past game work. Yes, uh,

625
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: Kareem got the two touchdowns last week, but it could

626
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 1: just as easily be uh, just easily Nick Chubb this

627
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 1: week for sure. And a good matchup against the Jets

628
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: that were last against running backs last year. Yeah, it's

629
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: a It's a juicy matchup, no doubt about it. Love

630
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: both guys this week. You already know a gun team,

631
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: league's work, seventeen teams left start at this point, you

632
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: can start a new league with seventeen teams or seventeen

633
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: weeks left in the season. Low scoring team gets cut

634
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 1: every week players go to the waiver wire. It's pandemonium.

635
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: We had um in one of my leagues. Jonathan Taylor

636
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: got cut and how much how much bad do you

637
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: put on him? One guy put his entire year's budget.

638
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: I'm Jonathan Taylor. He's gonna learn his lessons the hard way.

639
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: That that is a week seven out right there, exactly exactly.

640
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: See you next year. We'll be back next segment. Fantasy

641
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: Football Weekly Coming up next, Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly.

642
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: Paul Church and Scott Fish and Brian Johnson with you.

643
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: Our next matchup is the Patriots at the Steelers. Brian,

644
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: the Patriots offense looked bad last week. We'll talk a

645
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: little bit more about this later in the show, but

646
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: your thoughts on this particular match up against the Steelers. Yeah,

647
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: this one feels all about the running game for New England.

648
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 1: So I'll give Damien Harris Harrison be here the law.

649
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: The season ending loss of time Montgomery bodes well for

650
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: Harris and Raumandre Stephenson, but as of right now, Harris

651
00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 1: looks like the lead back yet again. He managed five

652
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: point three yards per carry last week, compared to the

653
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,959
Speaker 1: three point one for Stevenson. Harris was also targeted twice

654
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 1: in the red zone, and last year Pittsburgh out these

655
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 1: second most rushing yards after contact per attempt. In this week,

656
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: they will be without t J. Watt upfront, so I

657
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: like Harris with the B I will still give m

658
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,759
Speaker 1: Andre Stevenson a c not giving up on him just yet.

659
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 1: He should still see around twelve of the fifteen opportunities

660
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,239
Speaker 1: in this game. And again, this feels like a game

661
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: where New England's is gonna lean heavily on their running backs.

662
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 1: For that reason, I have Jacoby Myers, Nelson Aghilar, DeVante

663
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: Parker and Kedrick Bourne all on the bench. Not one

664
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:34,960
Speaker 1: single one of them scored double digit PPR points last week.

665
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 1: So not touching the wide receivers from New England this week,

666
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 1: and not touching the tight ends although they are led

667
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 1: by John new Smith and not Hunter Hendy, but they're

668
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 1: both on the bench. It's a bad matchup. The Steelers

669
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: have allowed a tight end touchdown in just three of

670
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,399
Speaker 1: their last eighteen games, and I hate the pass catchers

671
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: a lot, so I clearly hate Mac Jones in this matchup.

672
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: He's on the bench as well. Over the Pittsburgh side,

673
00:34:58,280 --> 00:35:00,479
Speaker 1: Nag Harris looks like he will play with the foot

674
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 1: injury he's dealing with. He turned to practice in full

675
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: on Thursday, but just to see for him. Miami running

676
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,800
Speaker 1: backs total just one hundred and seven combo yards against

677
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: New England last week, and we're held to under two

678
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,840
Speaker 1: point five yards per carry, So just to see for

679
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: no g Harris. Jalen Warren would have been interesting in

680
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:17,919
Speaker 1: Paris is out. He's on the bench, but a guy

681
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,600
Speaker 1: I am stashing anywhere I can. I recommend you do

682
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 1: the same. Over to the wide receivers for the Steelers,

683
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 1: Deonte Johnson, and give him a b If you didn't

684
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 1: see the one handed sideline catch he made last week,

685
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: go ask Jeeves about that right now, because it's it's

686
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 1: worth a watch. Um, I'm glad you guys got that one.

687
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: We're old enough to know to Jeeves is a lot

688
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 1: of people probably don't anyways. Johnson resumed his hogging of

689
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: targets in Week one, as his twelve targets are more

690
00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: than every other Pittsburgh wide receiver combined. So I love

691
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: Deonte and Listene with a B. I kind of like

692
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 1: Chase Claypool, so I'll give him a CEE. He was

693
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 1: second among Pittsburgh wide receivers with six targets, but we

694
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,160
Speaker 1: only turned them into four catches for eighteen scoreless yards.

695
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,800
Speaker 1: But he had six carries he go him out of

696
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 1: carries the yards for thirty six yards, so very interesting usage.

697
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 1: And he played almost entirely from the slot, which means

698
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,360
Speaker 1: he's likely to see a lot of New England slot

699
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: corner Miles Bryant, who checks in it five ft nine

700
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: and so a little bit of a mismatch for Briant

701
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: up against Claypool. Claypole should exploit that matchup George Pickens

702
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: the Priests. Darling won one catch for three yards on

703
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: three targets. He's on the bench right now until he

704
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 1: proves he can produce in the regular season and Pat

705
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: fire Mouth close to the bench, but I'm gonna give

706
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: him a CEE. He led Pittsburgh in receiving yards and

707
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 1: was second on the team with ten targets last week,

708
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:38,280
Speaker 1: but a tough match up here last year, New England

709
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 1: allowed the fewest receptions and yards to tight ends, just

710
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: two point seven catches and twenty six yards per game.

711
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: That trend continued in Yeah and Hunter Long. Neither the

712
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,959
Speaker 1: Miami tight ends combined for two catches or fifteen yards

713
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 1: against New England last week. So just a very soft

714
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: sea for Fry Muthin. Mitch Drubiskie was almost might take

715
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: a chance of the quarterback, but not yet this he's

716
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:03,760
Speaker 1: on the bench. Cant to it. Dolphins take on the Ravens. Obviously,

717
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: grades for Tyreek Kill and Jalen Waddle was strong Week

718
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 1: one performances, and that brings us to to a tonguo Violoa.

719
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 1: I loved the start of the year for him getting

720
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: the ball to his playmakers Hill and Waddle. That's all

721
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 1: he's gotta do. He goes up against the Ravens last

722
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: year one of only five teams to allow more than

723
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: thirty passing touchdowns, and to address that issue, Baltimore signed

724
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 1: cornerback Kyle Fuller in the off season. Andy promptly tours

725
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: a c L. So now they're getting Marcus Peters possibly

726
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,319
Speaker 1: back for this game, but if he starts, it's gonna

727
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: be his first game since the end of the twenty

728
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: twenty season, and the other corner back, Marlin Humphrey's got

729
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:44,280
Speaker 1: a groin injury. It's all good for the Miami passing game.

730
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: I've got a B grade onto a Toungo Violoa and

731
00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 1: a B grade on Chase Edmonds. I know the matchup

732
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: against Baltimore doesn't field grand and paper, but the Jets

733
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 1: backs just ripped the Ravens for a hundred sixty one

734
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: total yards and the Ravens ranked thirty and run defense

735
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:03,360
Speaker 1: by Old Football Focus through one week. Edmonds saw sixty

736
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: of the running back snaps for Miami last week. He

737
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: barely managed two yards per carry on the ground, which

738
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: was not good and so the efficiency was not there,

739
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,080
Speaker 1: but the opportunity to get better definitely is and he

740
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 1: could catch the ball fair amount. Ravens just allowed the

741
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: Jets backs to catch thirteen passes on nineteen targets in

742
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: that game. So I like Chase Edmonds as a dual

743
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 1: threat and to be grade over to Baltimore side Mark

744
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: Andrews obvious a let's go to the other receivers. Rashad Bateman.

745
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: Great to see the fifty five yard touchdown, but other

746
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 1: than that catch, Bateman had one catch for four yards.

747
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 1: That's it. Volume figures to be an ongoing worry for

748
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: the Ravens receivers and a run heavy offense. Bateman likely

749
00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 1: draws the dolphins best coverage corner Xavian Howard, who travels

750
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 1: with number one. Howard is not allowed to touch down

751
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 1: is coverage since Week eight of last year. I've got

752
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 1: just a C grade on Rashad Bateman. Devin DuVernay scored

753
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: twice last week, emerges a waiver wire darling this week.

754
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 1: With Xavian Howard on Bateman, that puts Nick excuse me, Nick,

755
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,280
Speaker 1: need him on DuVernay and that is a positive matchup.

756
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,000
Speaker 1: Need Him is a middling coverage corner who ranked his

757
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focuses forty four best cornerback last year. So

758
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:17,520
Speaker 1: I like Devin Duvernet enough to get him a C

759
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: grade on this one. And uh for Lamar Jackson, if

760
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,520
Speaker 1: you can blend in the Mark Andrews a couple of

761
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: season his receivers, I've got to be on Jackson. Dolphins

762
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 1: held Mac Jones in check last week, but Lamar Jackson

763
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 1: obviously totally different beast um. That's it. Miami has got

764
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 1: a pretty solid past defense top six and passing touchdowns

765
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 1: allowed last year. They blanked the Patriots last week. Um

766
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 1: Jackson faced the Dolphins last year. Two passing yards in

767
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: one touchdown and he only ran for thirty nine yards.

768
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 1: That wasn't great, It's just okay. So that's the B

769
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:51,799
Speaker 1: grade on Lamar Jackson. And for the running backs, I

770
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,720
Speaker 1: got them all on the bench. J K Dobbins expected

771
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: to make his first appearance in over a year, but

772
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: I got a figure. He gets the modest workload in

773
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 1: his first game back off the a c L. Six

774
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: touches guys, eight touches for j K. Dobbins. This is

775
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 1: his pro debut. If I'm not mistaken right Dobbins, j

776
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: K Dobbins did we get injured in preseason last year,

777
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 1: but the far back in time, that's okay. Miami's rundefensil good.

778
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 1: In Week one. They held Damien Harris to forty eight

779
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 1: yards and Romandre Stevenson to five. So I don't I

780
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 1: don't like Dobbins and all the other runners look terrible

781
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 1: last week, so they're all they are all out. Let's

782
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 1: go to our final matchup of this segment, Panthers taking

783
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 1: on the Giant Scott. Yeah, so I have an obvious

784
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: eight grade on Christie McCaffrey. You might say, why is

785
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,920
Speaker 1: it obvious? He wasn't that great last week. He had

786
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: to be saved by a touchdown with literally eight seconds

787
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:49,000
Speaker 1: left in the fourth quarter. Uh, but it was one

788
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 1: of the tougher RB matchups of the weekend and McCaffrey

789
00:40:52,120 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 1: still scored. Still got it. Uh, it was this week.

790
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: You can look for him to get a combination of

791
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: what Derrick, Henry and Hillier did against the Giants. Hilliard

792
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: destroyed them through the past game. He had, uh, you

793
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,399
Speaker 1: know Henriette a decent amount of rushing yards. I think

794
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 1: that this is a fifty plus rushing fifty plus receiving

795
00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 1: game for McCaffrey at minimum. Probably some scores a grade

796
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 1: on McCaffrey in the passing game. I only have one

797
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 1: starting game grade here. Baker mayfields on the bench. If

798
00:41:23,360 --> 00:41:26,000
Speaker 1: it weren't for those two blown coverages we we talked about,

799
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:27,720
Speaker 1: his day would have been a hundred and ten yards

800
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: and no touchdowns an interception. He barely threw a fifty

801
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 1: pc completion rate. Robby Anderson hundred yards hundred two yards

802
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 1: seventy five on the blown play. He topped fifty yards

803
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 1: three times last year. D J. Moore is where I'm

804
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: giving the C grade. I still trust him. I'm still

805
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: gonna believe in even though week one was lackluster. He'll

806
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:48,560
Speaker 1: get a Dory Jackson shadow treatment who took Robert Wood's

807
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 1: out last week. But he should get the volume in

808
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: this one to find enough opportunity to get a C grade.

809
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: On the other side, the only grade I have is

810
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: say Kwon Barkley with eight grade. He's back to match

811
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: up proof life he had a couple of years ago.

812
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:06,640
Speaker 1: He had twenty four touches, but a big deal with

813
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,160
Speaker 1: six catches. He came back in the in the passing game.

814
00:42:09,520 --> 00:42:13,319
Speaker 1: The Panthers just let Kareem Hunt loose in the receiving game.

815
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,960
Speaker 1: That's gonna be all Barkley in this one. Um, it's

816
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,720
Speaker 1: a tougher matchup than last week was. It's a slightly

817
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 1: tougher match up than last week was. But Chubb and

818
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: Hunt did it, so I think Barkley ken with Daniel

819
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: Jones Sterling Shephard. Sixty five of shepherds seventy one yards

820
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 1: were on that blown coverage sixty five yarder you mentioned earlier. Uh,

821
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,879
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. You're not starting Daniel Jones against the top

822
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 1: five Panthers defense. No one. Still, that's no out of here, No,

823
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: that's ridiculous. Um, we've got about one minute left. Let

824
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: me ask you this, Well, why don't we just fire

825
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 1: up the peacock for me saying s Juan Barkley finishes

826
00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 1: at the season as everyone is it too early, It's

827
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 1: way too early. I just jack, it's very premature peak cocking. Well,

828
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 1: we're willing to do that around premature pea calculation. Let

829
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 1: me ask this about the the Thursday night game. Patrick

830
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: Mahomes is now completed passes in both games to ten

831
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:07,360
Speaker 1: different receivers. Do you believe that that's going to be

832
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 1: an ongoing tread that he's just spreads the ball around

833
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,320
Speaker 1: so thinly literally sad that's what he was going to

834
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: do before the season. He also said the sky is

835
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 1: the limit, referring to sky will replate zero snaps. I

836
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:23,400
Speaker 1: don't even know if he's a real person. I know

837
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: at this point, I know Scott, Well, he's playing special teams.

838
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 1: That's it. Justin Herbert by the way, Yeah, yeah, that's

839
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 1: like and you know what those that you get you

840
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 1: get the broken rib. That's your season. You gotta play

841
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 1: with that all year. He's wearing the flat jacket season. Absolutely.

842
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 1: When we come back to our number two Fantasy Football Weekly,

843
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:48,640

848
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 1: it works. Each week, the bottom scoring team gets cut.

849
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: Everybody else feasts on that team's roster in the waiver wire.

Speaker 1: up now. Welcome back our number two Fantasy football weekly,

853
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 1: Paul charchy and Scott Fish and Brian Johnson with you.

854
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: We encourage you to follow us on Twitter at Paul Charchion,

855

Speaker 1: at Scott Fish four and at b t x J, respectively.

856
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: This is a game we call three tough questions. Tough

857
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: question Number one, what is the appropriate level of panic

858
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:57,160
Speaker 1: for New England running back Ramandre Stevenson. Is it none,

859
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: some or a bowl loose sending level of existential dread Scott. Yeah,

860
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: so this is the part where I apologize to the

861
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,800
Speaker 1: listeners for being so in on Romandre Stevenson and you guys.

862
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 1: I thought he'd get all the pass catching work time

863
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 1: at Coomery. I thought would be out longer he came back.

864
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 1: But the bad thing is I went to Canton for

865
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Exco Expo, went back and forth from the

866
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 1: airport with a Patriots guy that knows people there, and

867
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: he said, the offense is going to be anemic. They

868
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: changed to his zone running and an outside zone running scheme,

869
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: and they're running into the line and it is going

870
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: to be bad. A week later, I go on Christopher

871
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:39,480
Speaker 1: Harris's show ESPN guy Patriots fan Connections with the Pats

872
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: told me the same thing. But I refused to believe

873
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: all the inside info because I'm like, no, he they're

874
00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: talking to me, he's gonna be the pass catcher. I

875
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:51,839
Speaker 1: screwed up. I did not take that in. They were

876
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:55,160
Speaker 1: all right by week one account. They were all right

877
00:45:55,239 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 1: that offense is not going to move and they're going

878
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:00,840
Speaker 1: to run, and Romandre only at thirty three percent of snaps.

879
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,560
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a little bit of I think it's blowed

880
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 1: here until Bill Belichick figures it out. So you're going

881
00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:10,799
Speaker 1: with bobel loosening left existential dread. I think I said

882
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,560
Speaker 1: to trust Scott here and his and his insiders. The

883
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 1: only my New England insiders, a bunch of drunk idiots.

884
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 1: You do this thing. I think they're part of the

885
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 1: Patriots organization. They were avoiding all Patriots. So okay, I'm blowed.

886
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 1: I'm I'm blowed now. I was gonna say something, but

887
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 1: I'm convinced unblowd. The correct answer is some on the

888
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 1: positive side. Time Montgomery's out and that's a big consideration here.

889
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 1: Stevenson figures to get more past catching work, and I

890
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 1: think this this offense is gonna be playing from behind

891
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,719
Speaker 1: a lot. Montgomery had almost twice as many snaps as

892
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: Stevenson did last week. But now he's out of the

893
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 1: He's out of the picture for a week a month. Uh.

894
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:49,479
Speaker 1: The bigger issue here, though, Patriots offense just looks bad.

895
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 1: They only had fifty seven plays last week, only two

896
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:57,040
Speaker 1: seventy one yards of offense. That was fourth worst behind

897
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 1: offenses led by Geno Smith, Cooper Rush and a team

898
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 1: that played in a monsoon and not even both of

899
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:04,359
Speaker 1: the teams that played in a month. Soon. You gotta

900
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,840
Speaker 1: have faith that Bill Belichick turns it around, he figures

901
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:10,080
Speaker 1: it out. We gotta hope that the bounceback starts this week. Right,

902
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:13,360
Speaker 1: they play Pittsburgh a team Joe Mixon just ran through

903
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 1: and getting Stevenson up, getting Stevenson going. He's arguably the

904
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 1: most explosive playmaker they've got on the whole team. Well,

905
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: that in John neu Smith. Oh and by the way,

906
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 1: don't sell on the on the dip here, keep him. Yeah,

907
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,800
Speaker 1: we don't like to sell talented players low. To question

908
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 1: number two, what is the appropriate level of panic on

909
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:38,439
Speaker 1: Dallas wide receiver C D. Lamb? Is it none? Some

910
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:42,399
Speaker 1: or a bowl loosening level of existential dread? We begin

911
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:45,720
Speaker 1: this time with Brian Johnson. Oh, you gotta be blowed

912
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 1: on Ceedee Lamb based on his preseason a DP and

913
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 1: the expectations that we had for him basically as a

914
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,800
Speaker 1: top five wide receiver. Um And it's not his fault,

915
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 1: it's it's the circumstances that now surround him. Of course,

916
00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, he's gonna miss more time than Ray Jones

917
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:02,839
Speaker 1: is hinting at it's gonna be six to eight weeks. Uh,

918
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 1: the offensive line kind of a wreck, and he's just

919
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 1: got no help at receiver other than his tight end

920
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:11,879
Speaker 1: Dalton Schultz. I just think defenses are gonna be keyed

921
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:15,399
Speaker 1: in on him when when that even when Dad comes back,

922
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:18,280
Speaker 1: he's got Cooper Cooper rushed for the next six weeks.

923
00:48:18,280 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be a very slow start, a very

924
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 1: slow middle for Ceedee Lamb. So based on where he

925
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,879
Speaker 1: was going in our expectations, we had on blowed. You're

926
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:30,320
Speaker 1: blowed al right, Scott for Ceedee Lamb, what's the appropriate

927
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:34,359
Speaker 1: level of panic? Yeah, I'm still on the Patriots. They

928
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 1: only ran to two personnel groupings last week. That is ridiculous.

929
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 1: Two groups side tracking or we're gonna side track back

930
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:49,240
Speaker 1: to the page. The problem is their head coach. It'smatic.

931
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 1: He is. He thinks that he's the hubrist is so

932
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 1: high with Bill Belichick, probably the best coach in the

933
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,959
Speaker 1: history of the game. But he's a He is the

934
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: de facto head coach. Well, he is the head coach,

935
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:06,319
Speaker 1: de facto general manager, offensive coordinator, and defensive coordinator. No

936
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,000
Speaker 1: one person can do all these things well. And he's

937
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:12,320
Speaker 1: trying to do it all and he can't. And it's

938
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 1: this The mistake he's making is thinking that he's so

939
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 1: much better, that he doesn't need any help around him,

940
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,240
Speaker 1: and that he's so much smarter than everybody else. That's

941
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: the problem with the Patriots right now. Back to the

942
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:26,320
Speaker 1: question at hand, the appropriate level panic on Ceedee Lamb Scott.

943
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 1: I have some on this. One. Last time Prescott and

944
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,399
Speaker 1: missed extended time, the Cowboys still averaged about thirty six

945
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 1: past attempts per game, and that was with uh Dalton

946
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 1: and Denucci. Sounds like a seventies band or something. Dalton

947
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 1: and I think, I think it sounds like a post

948
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 1: but but the old line was light years better. Honestly,

949
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 1: I could bring the panic line down to blow it

950
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: on this one, but it is Ceedee Lamb. I do

951
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: like the eleven target eleven twelve targets he got with

952
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:57,439
Speaker 1: the two catches. Yeah, and I think that's I think

953
00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:00,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna get major volume a lot of these weeks

954
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,839
Speaker 1: as they fight to stay in it um. And if

955
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 1: it's only four to six weeks, I mean we're still

956
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 1: looking at maybe eight weeks to end the season of Prescott.

957
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 1: That that might still be the case, so I'm only

958
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 1: some at the moment. The major volume in Dallas is

959
00:50:13,080 --> 00:50:18,840
Speaker 1: this gonna be the booze that. The correct answer for

960
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 1: the appropriate level of panic on Dallas wide receiver Ceedee

961
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 1: Lamb is a bowel loosening level of existential. The left

962
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:30,480
Speaker 1: tackle Tyrann Smith is out, left guard economic governess hurt.

963
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,320
Speaker 1: The rush is going to get to the Dallas quarterback

964
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:37,320
Speaker 1: whose name is Rush. I mean talk about metaphysically tipping

965
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 1: your hand. He is going to get destroyed back there.

966
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:43,759
Speaker 1: And the r as you mentioned, the other receivers are

967
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 1: so anonymous. I watched that entire Dallas game and the

968
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:49,040
Speaker 1: only guy I can even remember is the guy who

969
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:52,399
Speaker 1: is ironically called Houston playing in Dallas. There's nobody else

970
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:56,040
Speaker 1: to catch a path in Dallas. They're gonna take defenses

971
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 1: are gonna take away Ceedee Lamb just like Tampa did

972
00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 1: last week and make Cooper Rush win throwing to something

973
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: called Houston playing in Dallas tough. Question number three, what

974
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 1: is the appropriate level of panic for Houston running back

975
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:18,400
Speaker 1: Damian Pierce? Is it none, some or a Bobi loosening

976
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 1: level of existential dread Scott, This one is some they want,

977
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 1: they want Damian Pierce to get more involved this week,

978
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,839
Speaker 1: But the problem is Burkehead appears to be soaking up

979
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 1: all that past game work that we kind of half

980
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:34,840
Speaker 1: expected but really hoped against. Um, the level of panic

981
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 1: is really based on where you got him. If you

982
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:38,839
Speaker 1: got him as your RB three, like almost all of us,

983
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 1: did you know before the last week or so of

984
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: the preseason, You're fine, You're just you're just a little frustrated.

985
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 1: But those people who grabb him as a r B two,

986
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,400
Speaker 1: they might feel blowed, but it's really just some. It's some,

987
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 1: all right, Brian, What is the appropriate level of concern

988
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:57,799
Speaker 1: for Houston running back Damian Pierce? Yeah, I'm at some too.

989
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:01,399
Speaker 1: Last week Burkehead saw over the snaps, was only one

990
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 1: of three running backs with more than ten carries and

991
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:07,040
Speaker 1: more than seven targets. But there's no way in hell

992
00:52:07,160 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 1: Burkehead becomes a bell cow running back this year. He's

993
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 1: thirty two years old. He's only top seventy rush attempts

994
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 1: in his season once. That was the last year and

995
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:18,279
Speaker 1: he had a hundred twenty two yards. The averaged three

996
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 1: point five yards per carry. Then at some point he's

997
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:23,239
Speaker 1: gonna break down or get hurt. I hate to say it,

998
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 1: but it's happened throughout his career. Um, he's never started

999
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 1: more than five games. I mean, look at his career

1000
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 1: starts five zero, one, four three one. You know Damian

1001
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 1: Pierce will be okay, don't freak out too much. Uh.

1002
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,720
Speaker 1: The correct answer is none. And that's not just confirmation bias,

1003
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 1: because we loved Damian Piers all preseason and we talked

1004
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: about him a million times. It's for all the reasons

1005
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 1: you mentioned. No chance thirty two year old Rex burkehead

1006
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 1: holds the strangle the stranglehold on that job for very long.

1007
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:56,080
Speaker 1: Damian Pierce well eclipse him. It's just a matter of when. Granted,

1008
00:52:56,120 --> 00:52:57,799
Speaker 1: the timeline is longer than we thought it was gonna

1009
00:52:57,840 --> 00:53:00,359
Speaker 1: be the reason it's gonna be a slowest art. It's

1010
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:03,359
Speaker 1: gonna be like it's gonna take us a little longer

1011
00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:05,880
Speaker 1: than we thought it was gonna unfortunately, and I wish

1012
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,000
Speaker 1: it weren't that way, but the reality is it is,

1013
00:53:08,040 --> 00:53:09,799
Speaker 1: and we're just gonna We're just gonna deal with that.

1014
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 1: Let's go to our next matchup, Bengals taking on the Cowboys. Brian,

1015
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 1: I gotta believe the Bengals. Joe Burrow is not gonna

1016
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:19,319
Speaker 1: have five turnovers in one game. Yeah, I would hope not,

1017
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 1: or get sacked seven times like he did a last

1018
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 1: week against UM Pittsburgh. So we'll start with Burrow. Give

1019
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:28,319
Speaker 1: him a b um. It sounds like te Higgins will

1020
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 1: play in this game. Should clear concussion protocol that helps

1021
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:34,360
Speaker 1: burrows uh prospects this week. My main concern is this

1022
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 1: feels like a game or the Bengals just dominate and

1023
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:39,839
Speaker 1: it aren't forced to throw a ton. So we'll run

1024
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:42,320
Speaker 1: through his receiver's real quick. Jamar Chase gets an a.

1025
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:44,840
Speaker 1: We'll likely see a lot of Trayvon Diggs in coverage.

1026
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:48,040
Speaker 1: It was a very good cornerback, but Mike Evans very comparable.

1027
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 1: Mike Evans had a touchdown and seventy one yards against

1028
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,560
Speaker 1: Diggs last week. So in a for Chase, te Higgins

1029
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 1: just mentioned him. Sounds like he'll go give him a

1030
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:57,719
Speaker 1: b here. He should see a lot of coverage from

1031
00:53:57,719 --> 00:54:01,279
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown, who surrendered six received being touchdowns last year.

1032
00:54:01,640 --> 00:54:04,279
Speaker 1: That is a fair amount. But Tyler Boyd, I gotta

1033
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 1: put him on the bench. Only he saw a thirteen

1034
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 1: percent target chair last week and that was with Tee

1035
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 1: Higgins out for most of the game, UM Boyd will again,

1036
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:15,359
Speaker 1: this feels like a game where the Bengals aren't gonna

1037
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 1: throw it don So Boyd not seeing a ton of

1038
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:19,279
Speaker 1: snaps last week. I don't think that he's a main

1039
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:21,720
Speaker 1: main factor in this game, so he's on the bench.

1040
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 1: Hayden Hurst is not, though, gonna give him a See

1041
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:27,279
Speaker 1: Hearst rand fifty one pass routes last week, which is

1042
00:54:27,320 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 1: a lot. In fact, it was the fifth most among

1043
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:32,440
Speaker 1: all players, not just tight ends, but it's it's kind

1044
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:34,800
Speaker 1: of a tough matchup on paper. Last season, only five

1045
00:54:34,840 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 1: tight ends game to more than fifty yards fifty yards

1046
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:40,240
Speaker 1: against the Cowboys, and none reached the hundred yard marks

1047
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:43,280
Speaker 1: of just a sea For Hearst and lastly, Joe Mixon,

1048
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 1: he gets an A despite trailing pretty much the entire

1049
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:49,840
Speaker 1: game last week against Pittsburgh, Mixing saw thirty four touches,

1050
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 1: a career high. Granted that game went to overtime, but

1051
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:55,000
Speaker 1: I would be shocked if the Bengals trail in this game.

1052
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:58,319
Speaker 1: So game script should be in Mixon's favor here he

1053
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,600
Speaker 1: gets the A over to the Dallas side. Definitely no

1054
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 1: a's here. Starting with Ezekiel Elliott just to see for

1055
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 1: him and eleven career games that Deck has missed with injury.

1056
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 1: Zeke average and easily three point eight yards per carry

1057
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:14,360
Speaker 1: and only scored twice in those eleven games. The Bengals

1058
00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 1: have been stout against the run for quite some time,

1059
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:19,719
Speaker 1: only allowing four running backs to top eighty yards over

1060
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:23,879
Speaker 1: their last twenty two games, So rough spot for Zeke.

1061
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:26,359
Speaker 1: I do like Tony Pollard though, while with with the

1062
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:28,319
Speaker 1: receiving angle that's why he was might take a chance

1063
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:31,799
Speaker 1: on me running back and the aforementioned Ceedee Lamb just

1064
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,879
Speaker 1: to see for him. It's more like cassette tape Lamb

1065
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:39,120
Speaker 1: at this point. Um he saw. I saw leven targets

1066
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:43,360
Speaker 1: last week, only caught the two. That's gross. He also

1067
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:46,480
Speaker 1: has Cooper Rush as his quarterback, now that's more gross.

1068
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:48,880
Speaker 1: Lamb will see Mike Hilton when lined up in the

1069
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:52,240
Speaker 1: slot in a combination of Eli Apple and Shadobe Ouse

1070
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:55,359
Speaker 1: on the edges. Those three corners have combined to allow

1071
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:58,280
Speaker 1: just one touchdown over their last six games played together,

1072
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 1: and it's really just well factory I Apple out of

1073
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:02,799
Speaker 1: that because he's not very good. Anyway. Back to the

1074
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,759
Speaker 1: other wide receivers. It's really Noah Brown who's wide receiver too,

1075
00:56:05,920 --> 00:56:08,040
Speaker 1: but he's on the bench. Despite seeing nine targets in

1076
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 1: Week one that resulted in five catches for sixty eight yards,

1077
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 1: I just can't give him a starting grade. I will

1078
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 1: give Dalton Schultz a B though, despite Cooper Rush as

1079
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 1: his quarterback. On paper, a great matchup for Schultz, who

1080
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 1: ran the second most pass routes for Dallas in Week one.

1081
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:25,000
Speaker 1: Last season, the Bengals were top five in the most catches,

1082
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 1: yards and touchdowns allowed to tight ends. Last week, they

1083
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:31,000
Speaker 1: surrendered five catches for seven five yards to Pat Firemouth,

1084
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 1: who's also tackled on the one yard line almost scored

1085
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 1: a touchdown. So I do like Schultz this week, and

1086
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 1: I Cooper Rush. Can it get the bench gright out

1087
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:43,000
Speaker 1: of the way this week? No, but I want to

1088
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:45,759
Speaker 1: just get him out of future weeks, always on the bench,

1089
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:51,480
Speaker 1: Cooper Rush. Well, what if you play Vikings again? Fair? Fair? Yeah,

1090
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:54,400
Speaker 1: Seahawks take on the forty nine. This is gonna be

1091
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:56,440
Speaker 1: quick light rain in the forecast. Again. By the way,

1092
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:58,239
Speaker 1: let me mention that so forty nine just could go

1093
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:00,840
Speaker 1: from a monsoon to another rain game, but nothing like

1094
00:57:00,920 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 1: last week's game. And I already mentioned my bias in

1095
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:05,399
Speaker 1: this is that Seattle just played their Super Bowl. They're

1096
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 1: gonna hit the road here and have a huge letdown

1097
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:08,960
Speaker 1: game coming, and you'll hear that in my grades, I

1098
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:12,360
Speaker 1: believe we start with Rashad Penny, who handled every Seahawks

1099
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 1: carry but one average five yards per carry against a

1100
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:18,920
Speaker 1: stout Denver front seven last week. He was also active

1101
00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 1: in the passing game. He saw all three of Geno

1102
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:24,120
Speaker 1: Smith's running back targets here. Uh forty nine is completely

1103
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 1: bottled up David Montgomery in the monsoon, but Penny's a

1104
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 1: tougher tackler average three point five yards after contact going

1105
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:32,920
Speaker 1: back to last year, the NFL's best over that stretch.

1106
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna I'm gonna give him a B grade,

1107
00:57:34,960 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 1: and I'm barely giving a B grade a DK Metcalf

1108
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 1: because get this, for as you know, the big body

1109
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 1: guy that is just four point six air yards on

1110
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:46,200
Speaker 1: his targets last week, which is a criminal misuse of

1111
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:49,720
Speaker 1: Metcalf's body type and talent. Hopefully they'll air the ball

1112
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:52,440
Speaker 1: out a little bit more in this one. Metcalf is

1113
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 1: top four receptions and sixty yards in five of six

1114
00:57:57,080 --> 00:58:00,680
Speaker 1: attempts against the Niners, and he clearly is the preferred

1115
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:03,320
Speaker 1: target for Gino Smith. So I've got to be grade

1116
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 1: on him, C grade on Tyler Lockett. All of our

1117
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 1: fears are realized with Lockett last week. Gino Smith did

1118
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 1: not look lock Its way at all last year when

1119
00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 1: he started. He didn't look his way at all last

1120
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:16,480
Speaker 1: week when he started either. And the short passes that

1121
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 1: Gino Smith is throwing are the anticipthis of what Tyler

1122
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:23,760
Speaker 1: Lockett is all about. I think I may have mispronounced

1123
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 1: that I don't. Uh. Gino Smith indisputably looked in command

1124
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 1: of that offense last week. Loved a lot of what

1125
00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 1: we saw there, but again throwing all mostly entirely dink

1126
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 1: and dunk under short stuff. He he scored touchdowns in

1127
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 1: each of his four starts going back to last year,

1128
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns and back to back starts. Uh, last

1129
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:48,840
Speaker 1: two starts, he's throwing fifty one passes and just nine

1130
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 1: in completions, just nine in completion. It's against So it's

1131
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 1: all just safe work for Gino Smith, and that's enough

1132
00:58:57,680 --> 00:58:59,560
Speaker 1: to give him a C grade. And that's it. Uh,

1133
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 1: don't anything with the Seattle various tight ends because they

1134
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 1: split it all up between Will Disley no offense and

1135
00:59:04,560 --> 00:59:10,400
Speaker 1: Colby Parkinson out of nowhere last week side Deebo, Samuel

1136
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 1: obvious a and a phenomenal matchup. Love him here and

1137
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:16,480
Speaker 1: he's probably gonna get a few extra carries with Eliza Mitchell.

1138
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna expend any more time on that um.

1139
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 1: But for other members of the passing game and tray Lance,

1140
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:22,920
Speaker 1: by the way, it was might take a chance on

1141
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,960
Speaker 1: me quarterback that you may have heard earlier in the show,

1142
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:29,320
Speaker 1: Brandon aou with a B grade. We're gonna throw out

1143
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 1: last week's monsoon game. Are you gaverage six point two

1144
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:35,680
Speaker 1: yards after the catch last season? That was six the

1145
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 1: most Seahawks allowed five point eight yards after the catch

1146
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:43,120
Speaker 1: last season, fourth worst, So a great opportunity for Brandon

1147
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 1: Ay after the catch. And cornerbacks Justin Coleman and Michael

1148
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:51,560
Speaker 1: Jackson posted uh sub forty PFF tackling grades last week,

1149
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 1: so I can see how you getting free for a

1150
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:55,800
Speaker 1: long one here. I like his prospects and I've got

1151
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 1: a B grade on him. And then lastly, Jeff Wilson,

1152
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:01,480
Speaker 1: by the way, I I'm under the assumption George Kittle

1153
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 1: is not going to go in this game, although Tyler

1154
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 1: Croft is a sneaky sleeper against the defense that just

1155
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:10,240
Speaker 1: allowed seven catches and eighty five yards to a tight end.

1156
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:13,120
Speaker 1: If you're really in a pinch at tight end and

1157
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 1: Kittle gets ruled out, Tyler Croft might be a good

1158
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 1: way to go. Let's talk about Jeff Wilson, your new

1159
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 1: lead running back, not nude, your new lead running back

1160
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:23,840
Speaker 1: to the forty nine years, although if you were nwed

1161
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:27,200
Speaker 1: it would add an interesting element to the game. In

1162
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 1: games in which Wilson has had more than fifteen carries

1163
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 1: throughout his career, and there's eight to those and the

1164
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 1: lead carrier carrier for the Niners always gets at least

1165
01:00:34,360 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 1: fifteen carries, he has averaged nine two rushing yards and

1166
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:48,600
Speaker 1: eighteen receiving yards. That's a total of it's a hundred

1167
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 1: and ten yards and a full touchdown per game. Jeff Wilson,

1168
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:57,240
Speaker 1: when he gets fifteen carries, that is massive productivity. He

1169
01:00:57,240 --> 01:00:59,880
Speaker 1: gets the Seahawks this week. If Gordon and Williams hadn't

1170
01:00:59,880 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 1: both fumbled at the one yard line against the Seahawks,

1171
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 1: would be talking about how the Seattle run defense has

1172
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 1: already given up a hundred yard rushing game and two touchdowns,

1173
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:11,320
Speaker 1: So Jeff Wilson a grade for him. We'll take a

1174
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:14,000
Speaker 1: break when we come back. More matchups to break down,

1175
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:19,920
Speaker 1: including the Texans taking on the Broncos. Might be love Texans.

1176
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 1: That Texans offense. We already talked about Davis Mills, who

1177
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 1: we like. What about Eco Collins didn't doo much last week?

1178
01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:28,520
Speaker 1: What about Brandon Cooks who did? We'll tell you what

1179
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 1: we think about those guys when we returned to Fantasy

1180
01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Churchi and

1181
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 1: Scott Fish, Brian Johnson with you. Scott Falcons take on

1182
01:01:56,400 --> 01:02:00,240
Speaker 1: the Rams. Falcons, Ruddy packs were really far are more

1183
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 1: effective than the Rams were. Rams with a big opportunity

1184
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:05,960
Speaker 1: to bounce back. But let's start with court Darryl Patterson's

1185
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,439
Speaker 1: the best stories of week one and and early last year.

1186
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:11,760
Speaker 1: It's a two year in a row thing here. Well

1187
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:16,439
Speaker 1: this this week, alright, last week, at least Patterson Patterson's

1188
01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 1: role was basically a full role because Damian Williams went

1189
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 1: out and their only active backup was Avery Williams, a

1190
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:25,919
Speaker 1: converted defensive back who mostly plays special teams this week.

1191
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:28,240
Speaker 1: Williams will be out again, but they're prepared for it,

1192
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 1: and Tyler l Geer, who I play in the league with,

1193
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 1: will also get some work. But indications are Patterson will

1194
01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:37,920
Speaker 1: once again get that workhouse workhorse role fifteen plus touches.

1195
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 1: My problem is it's a very tough match up against

1196
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:42,760
Speaker 1: the ramsdy that was top ten in a lot of

1197
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:44,680
Speaker 1: categories against the run last year. So I only have

1198
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:47,680
Speaker 1: a B grade on Cordell Patterson. I'm gonna have Algie

1199
01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:49,280
Speaker 1: on the bench. I'm not gonna trust him in this

1200
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 1: very first game, sorry, Tyler. As for the passing game, yeah,

1201
01:02:54,760 --> 01:03:00,560
Speaker 1: I surprisingly have starting grades somehow on Mariotta, London, and Pits.

1202
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:02,520
Speaker 1: In a game, I think they'll be behind a lot

1203
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:04,920
Speaker 1: and need to pass to even try to attempt anything

1204
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 1: to sts defense. But how about Mariota's rushing from last week? Yes,

1205
01:03:08,680 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 1: that's exactly the point. Mariotta is not going to get

1206
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 1: you a ton through the year air, but he had

1207
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 1: a third of their running back rush carries last week.

1208
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:19,920
Speaker 1: Ten plus rush attempts is easily within the range of

1209
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:22,520
Speaker 1: outcomes for him. That's gonna give him a C grade.

1210
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:24,640
Speaker 1: It's kind of like Jalen Hurts only not quite as

1211
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 1: much passing volume, so he gets the C grade on

1212
01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 1: that alone. Um again a tougher matchup, but I feel

1213
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:33,880
Speaker 1: like they'll fall behind. The rush attempts plus falling behind

1214
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:37,240
Speaker 1: give him the C grade here. Drake London also gets

1215
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 1: a C grade. It's hard not to like what we

1216
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:41,919
Speaker 1: saw in Week one. He missed all a preseason done,

1217
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:46,920
Speaker 1: goes on to lead the team in target share, receptions, yards, everything.

1218
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 1: Basically Jalen Ramsey's gonna try to lock him up. And

1219
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:51,840
Speaker 1: he had some trouble ls week, and he had to

1220
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:54,040
Speaker 1: trouble some trouble at the D last season too, so

1221
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 1: you know, maybe maybe just on pure volume alone and

1222
01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:01,280
Speaker 1: again game script, Drake London gets a C grade. For me,

1223
01:04:01,920 --> 01:04:04,080
Speaker 1: I have a B grade on Kyle Pitts and I'm

1224
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:08,520
Speaker 1: getting frustrated charge and Brian. Brian especially, I'm getting frustrated.

1225
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 1: He's consistently top five in so many superfluous categories, not

1226
01:04:14,800 --> 01:04:18,240
Speaker 1: anything that but not phantasy points. Like last week he

1227
01:04:18,280 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 1: had what like I think third or fourth fifth most

1228
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:25,720
Speaker 1: unrealized air yards that just didn't happen for him. Once

1229
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 1: those start happening, he's going to be like a solid

1230
01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:31,520
Speaker 1: A most weeks, but they're just not happening. So I'm

1231
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 1: giving him a B in it once again, a tough matchup,

1232
01:04:34,960 --> 01:04:37,880
Speaker 1: trailing B grade until he until he can show it.

1233
01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:39,680
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna give him an until he shows me it.

1234
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 1: That's fair for Kyle Pitts right now. On the other side,

1235
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:46,720
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford is getting an A grade. Cooper Cup is

1236
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:48,440
Speaker 1: getting a grade. I don't think I need to talk

1237
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:50,480
Speaker 1: much about it. It's night and day from last week,

1238
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 1: last year's top past defense, last week this year or

1239
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 1: this week they get a bottom five pasty. So Stafford

1240
01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:59,400
Speaker 1: and Cup easy a's. But what are we gonna do

1241
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:02,560
Speaker 1: with Alan Robinson. I'm gonna keep my eye on it,

1242
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:05,520
Speaker 1: but I'm half throwing out Week one. He played percent

1243
01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:08,040
Speaker 1: of snaps, he had half the red zone wide receiver targets,

1244
01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:11,760
Speaker 1: and we just watched Jarvis Landry and Michael Thomas torched

1245
01:05:11,840 --> 01:05:14,960
Speaker 1: the Falcons for a hundred fifty plus yards and two scores.

1246
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:18,280
Speaker 1: So I have a C grade hesitantly, but a C

1247
01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 1: grade on A on Allen Robinson, a wide receiver in

1248
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:25,760
Speaker 1: that good offense. Tyler Higbee was one of your way

1249
01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 1: too many, too many Chicks. He's a good streaming option

1250
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 1: in the run game. We need to buy into Henderson.

1251
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:36,160
Speaker 1: We we do. They want cam more involved, they say it,

1252
01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:38,200
Speaker 1: but they didn't show it on the field, and even

1253
01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:41,080
Speaker 1: the stuff after last week wasn't super out of optimistic

1254
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 1: and he had some pretty bad plays, pretty bad plays

1255
01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:47,000
Speaker 1: in that game. So Cama's on the bench while Henderson

1256
01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:49,120
Speaker 1: gets a B because he was one of only six

1257
01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:53,040
Speaker 1: backs had a full work work work, workhorse role, and

1258
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 1: one of only six backs to play every single red

1259
01:05:55,680 --> 01:05:58,200
Speaker 1: zone snap for that team last week. The B is

1260
01:05:58,280 --> 01:06:00,640
Speaker 1: kind of due to how competent the Falcons Rundy was.

1261
01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 1: It actually seemed pretty good outside of the one Taystom

1262
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 1: Hill run run. They shut everything else down. So just

1263
01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 1: a B B grade for Henderson in case cam Akers

1264
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:12,240
Speaker 1: does make his way. I think they'd like to get

1265
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:14,760
Speaker 1: Acres going. I think it would chance too, because they

1266
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:16,880
Speaker 1: know from they know Henderson after watching him all of

1267
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:21,520
Speaker 1: last year. Henderson's not a special running back. He's just

1268
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 1: the lead running back for the Rams. They'd like to

1269
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:26,960
Speaker 1: get Acres going. He'll give They'll give him more chances.

1270
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:28,560
Speaker 1: I don't know they'll make good on it, but it'll

1271
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:31,800
Speaker 1: get more chances Brian Texans take on the Broncos. We

1272
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:34,640
Speaker 1: love the Texans in general. We've already talked about Davis Mills.

1273
01:06:34,680 --> 01:06:37,000
Speaker 1: You're take a chance on me quarterback will tell me

1274
01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:39,640
Speaker 1: about his receivers. Who else do you like in this one?

1275
01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:42,000
Speaker 1: I basically only like Brandon Cook's gonna give him a B.

1276
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 1: He saw twelve targets in Week one, while the rest

1277
01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 1: of Houston's wide receivers total just nine. It's not the

1278
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:49,600
Speaker 1: best matchup for Cooks, but the volume should be there. Uh,

1279
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:52,040
Speaker 1: Davis Mills loves looking his way, so a safe B

1280
01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:54,600
Speaker 1: for Cooks. I got the rest of the wide receivers

1281
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:57,360
Speaker 1: on the bench for Houston. Hopefully Nico Collins steps up soon,

1282
01:06:57,440 --> 01:06:59,240
Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna put him in my story hand

1283
01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 1: I had to drop in a couple of leagues. Now,

1284
01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:03,920
Speaker 1: that's what the tight ends. So O. J. Howard ran

1285
01:07:04,160 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 1: six pass routes last week. I saw two targets, scored

1286
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:11,200
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. Now, if I were to extrapolate numbers across

1287
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:13,480
Speaker 1: a full season with an average of about thirty routes

1288
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:16,680
Speaker 1: per game, my calculator would blow up. But I've got

1289
01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 1: him on the bench in Brevin Jordan's We had to

1290
01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:21,120
Speaker 1: need some more clarity there. Well, it'll be interesting to

1291
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:23,320
Speaker 1: see if Howard gets ramped up more runs, more pass routes,

1292
01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:25,560
Speaker 1: but for now they're both on the bench. As you mentioned,

1293
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 1: Davis Mills might take a chance of me quarterback. And lastly,

1294
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:30,960
Speaker 1: the running backs, t Rex Burkhead. I call him t

1295
01:07:31,120 --> 01:07:35,520
Speaker 1: Rex because he too soon will be extinct. Like, Gonna

1296
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:38,120
Speaker 1: give him a c As mentioned, he ran or saw

1297
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:40,120
Speaker 1: more than seven percent of the snaps, was only one

1298
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:42,280
Speaker 1: of three running backs with more than ten carries and

1299
01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:44,600
Speaker 1: more than seven targets, so for now he is the starter,

1300
01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:47,439
Speaker 1: so based on expected volume alone, gonna give him a see.

1301
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:49,960
Speaker 1: And Damian Pierce on the bench until he sees more

1302
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:53,440
Speaker 1: playing time, but that should come sooner than later, hopefully.

1303
01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:57,360
Speaker 1: Over the Denver side, Javante Williams easy a here, still

1304
01:07:57,400 --> 01:07:59,480
Speaker 1: in a time share, but this is a great matchup.

1305
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:02,160
Speaker 1: Last year, Texans were thirty second in red zone rushing

1306
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:05,760
Speaker 1: defense and thirty in explosive run rate. Last week, Williams

1307
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:09,320
Speaker 1: ran twenty eight pass routes and was targeted forty of

1308
01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:13,280
Speaker 1: them for twelve targets. That's like Alvin Kamara type receiving work.

1309
01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:16,559
Speaker 1: They're pretty exciting. So in A for Williams and a

1310
01:08:16,600 --> 01:08:19,040
Speaker 1: B for Melvin. Gordon played in forty percent on the

1311
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:22,919
Speaker 1: snaps last week, total seventy two combo yards on fourteen touchdown,

1312
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:25,360
Speaker 1: so he still is a major factor. He also saw

1313
01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:27,680
Speaker 1: more touches in the red zone than Williams did, so

1314
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:29,920
Speaker 1: he's a strong start in this plus matchup. So a

1315
01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:33,040
Speaker 1: B for Gordon. I'm gonna give Courtland Sutton and Jerry

1316
01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:35,840
Speaker 1: Judy both of B I like pretty much. I like

1317
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:38,759
Speaker 1: both of them pretty much the same. Yes, the Texans

1318
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:41,879
Speaker 1: went into overtime last week, but still the Colts whiteouts

1319
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:45,160
Speaker 1: total seventeen catches, two d and forty yards and one touchdown,

1320
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:48,040
Speaker 1: So Sutton and Judy could both get something done in

1321
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:51,120
Speaker 1: this game. And now over to Albert hold hold on, fish,

1322
01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:55,280
Speaker 1: I got this Albert o'quebu nom job. Get the Q

1323
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:58,840
Speaker 1: in there. He gets a se uh. Andrew Beck stole

1324
01:08:58,920 --> 01:09:02,320
Speaker 1: some early work from oh Quabunam, but he still let

1325
01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:04,840
Speaker 1: Denver tight ends and targets and catches in Week one.

1326
01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:07,639
Speaker 1: Houston allowed the twelve most yards to tight ends last year,

1327
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:09,920
Speaker 1: and the Colts tight ends are just targeted nine times

1328
01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 1: against the Texans last week. So I like Albert Oh

1329
01:09:12,560 --> 01:09:15,000
Speaker 1: and lastly, Russell Wilson. I don't like him too much.

1330
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:16,640
Speaker 1: He really annoys me, but I'm gonna give him a b.

1331
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:18,960
Speaker 1: Wilson didn't get his revenge in the Seattle, but he

1332
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 1: still posted strong numbers and his debut with Denver. Last season,

1333
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:25,640
Speaker 1: the Texans finished bottom ten in passing yards, touchdowns, and

1334
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:27,800
Speaker 1: yards per attempt, and that's bottom ten in a bad way.

1335
01:09:27,840 --> 01:09:30,799
Speaker 1: When it comes to their defense, the Texas overhauled their secondary,

1336
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:33,240
Speaker 1: including both safeties, but they are both rookies. As a

1337
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:36,040
Speaker 1: starting cornerback at Derek Stingley, who was a first round

1338
01:09:36,040 --> 01:09:38,120
Speaker 1: pick but still a work in progress, Wilson should have

1339
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 1: a good game here. I think he should have a

1340
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:42,200
Speaker 1: good game. To calculator items, number one is eight zero

1341
01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:44,760
Speaker 1: zero eight five, You know what I mean? And the

1342
01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:48,400
Speaker 1: second is what the heck is? M plus M minus

1343
01:09:48,800 --> 01:09:52,120
Speaker 1: M S M R M C. What does that even do?

1344
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:55,280
Speaker 1: Does anybody know? I mean? I do? I do? I

1345
01:09:55,439 --> 01:09:58,200
Speaker 1: who knows what those buttons on a calculator does? If

1346
01:09:58,240 --> 01:10:01,240
Speaker 1: you do, at Paul Charchi in X, explain what all

1347
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:04,120
Speaker 1: of those ms mean on a calculator, because I don't

1348
01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:09,559
Speaker 1: know I don't want Bears taking on the Packers. We

1349
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:17,599
Speaker 1: begin as a reminder my the ground Bears might take

1350
01:10:17,600 --> 01:10:19,760
Speaker 1: a chance to me running back. Let's let's stick with

1351
01:10:19,800 --> 01:10:23,519
Speaker 1: the running backs and go to um. David Montgomery averaged

1352
01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:27,680
Speaker 1: three point five yards per carry against uh the Packers

1353
01:10:27,840 --> 01:10:30,639
Speaker 1: last year. He's gonna yield some of the carries to Herbert,

1354
01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:33,679
Speaker 1: as I discussed earlier. And the Packers run defense, well,

1355
01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:36,599
Speaker 1: it did not great out well against Minnesota, graded up

1356
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:39,880
Speaker 1: very well last season. I don't necessarily trust him here.

1357
01:10:39,920 --> 01:10:43,040
Speaker 1: Only one running back top to one yards rushing against

1358
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:47,240
Speaker 1: the Packers since the since elite run stuffing linebacker Davantre

1359
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:50,639
Speaker 1: Campbell arrived in Green Bay, but Montgomery did in Week

1360
01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:54,280
Speaker 1: twelve of the season two years ago. If that means anything,

1361
01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:56,440
Speaker 1: I don't think it does. C grade on David Montgomery,

1362
01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:58,759
Speaker 1: that's it. I don't. I don't love him here, justin

1363
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:01,920
Speaker 1: Fields only gets a C. Gray passing last week was bad,

1364
01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:06,360
Speaker 1: but it was a monsoon. I'm worried about him passing

1365
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:10,439
Speaker 1: in perfect conditions against a very good Packers secondary. And yes,

1366
01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:13,880
Speaker 1: Minnesota humbled the Packers last week, but Cousins to Jefferson

1367
01:11:14,200 --> 01:11:17,480
Speaker 1: is a far cry from Justin Fields to Darnell Mooney

1368
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:19,479
Speaker 1: just to see grade here, and only a C grade

1369
01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:22,280
Speaker 1: because of the rushing threat that Fields provides. He had

1370
01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:26,040
Speaker 1: rushing totals of seventy four and forty three yards against

1371
01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:29,280
Speaker 1: the Packers last year, so we'll hope that he can

1372
01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:31,920
Speaker 1: rush for some yardage here. And a C grade for

1373
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:35,960
Speaker 1: Justin Fields. A begrudging C grade on Darnel Darnell Mooney

1374
01:11:36,120 --> 01:11:39,680
Speaker 1: who likely gets shadow covered from elite coverage corner Jaire Alexander,

1375
01:11:39,720 --> 01:11:42,879
Speaker 1: who is smarting from his zone use against Justin Jefferson

1376
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:46,559
Speaker 1: last week. But even if it's others, Mooney, if he sees,

1377
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:49,960
Speaker 1: whether it's Jaire Alexander, Russul Douglas or Eric States, it's

1378
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:52,280
Speaker 1: all a challenge. None of them have given it more

1379
01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:55,720
Speaker 1: than thirty five yards in their coverage since Week fourteen

1380
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:58,640
Speaker 1: of last season. There's a good Packers secondary, and I

1381
01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:01,559
Speaker 1: don't think Mooney's gonna change at We're gonna bench Cole

1382
01:12:01,600 --> 01:12:04,400
Speaker 1: Commet one target on zero catches last week and two

1383
01:12:04,520 --> 01:12:07,679
Speaker 1: mundane games against the Packers last year, and the Vikings

1384
01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:10,439
Speaker 1: tight ends did nothing against the Packers last week. I

1385
01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:12,600
Speaker 1: know comments gonna do better than last week. But have

1386
01:12:12,720 --> 01:12:15,400
Speaker 1: zero catches last week, so better doesn't necessarily mean much.

1387
01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:18,920
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Packers side. Aaron Rodgers has a

1388
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:22,799
Speaker 1: bounce back coming if Lazard plays in this game. Rogers

1389
01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:26,400
Speaker 1: history against the Packers is just torturous, with four to

1390
01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:30,280
Speaker 1: four and four touchdowns thrown over the past four meetings.

1391
01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:35,000
Speaker 1: Chicago starts two rookie second rounders in its secondary, Tyler

1392
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:39,080
Speaker 1: Gordon and Jakwon Brisker. Sure they held up last week

1393
01:12:39,120 --> 01:12:41,639
Speaker 1: in the slop, but they've got a far tougher test

1394
01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:44,720
Speaker 1: coming against Aaron Rodgers in perfect weather. And even if

1395
01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:48,160
Speaker 1: the receivers are pretty pretty middling here, So be great

1396
01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:50,760
Speaker 1: on Aaron Rodgers, be great on Almizart if he goes.

1397
01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:52,800
Speaker 1: I like him a lot. He scored in both games

1398
01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:54,920
Speaker 1: against the Packers last year and three of the last

1399
01:12:54,920 --> 01:12:58,600
Speaker 1: four against Chicago, and the other receivers proved themselves. The

1400
01:12:58,640 --> 01:13:02,240
Speaker 1: other Packers receivers proved themselves to be no help. Lazard's

1401
01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:05,360
Speaker 1: return is gonna be very welcomed by Aaron Rodgers. And

1402
01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:08,479
Speaker 1: I see a lot of volume coming for Lazard, and

1403
01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:10,360
Speaker 1: let me mention this as I probably should have started

1404
01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:12,559
Speaker 1: with the Packers of this. They may get three offensive

1405
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:16,080
Speaker 1: linemen back in this game. That would be huge Runyon

1406
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:18,320
Speaker 1: and Jenkins and back tr If they all come back,

1407
01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:20,040
Speaker 1: or even like two of the three come back, that

1408
01:13:20,160 --> 01:13:22,120
Speaker 1: is a that is a huge help for this line.

1409
01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:24,320
Speaker 1: I like both the running backs a lot. Aaron Jones

1410
01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:27,080
Speaker 1: and A J. Dillon both get bes here for Aaron

1411
01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:30,600
Speaker 1: Jones three touchdowns in the two games last year, and

1412
01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:33,680
Speaker 1: after last week's game, head coach Mela Fleur said he

1413
01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:37,280
Speaker 1: vowed basically vowed to get Jones more carries. The Bears

1414
01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:41,599
Speaker 1: were the league's worst graded run defense last week. Elijah

1415
01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:44,720
Speaker 1: Mitchell and Deebo Samuel ran for almost seven yards a

1416
01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:47,639
Speaker 1: carry against them. It was in the monsoon, but still

1417
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:50,960
Speaker 1: that's if anything, that almost makes it worse for Chicago.

1418
01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:54,360
Speaker 1: They've allowed five straight backfields the top one d yards

1419
01:13:54,439 --> 01:13:57,200
Speaker 1: rushing and that includes Aaron Jones and A J. Dillon

1420
01:13:57,240 --> 01:13:59,360
Speaker 1: from last year. Like them both a Lot A J.

1421
01:13:59,479 --> 01:14:02,240
Speaker 1: Dillon got lead the team in rushing attempts, receptions and

1422
01:14:02,320 --> 01:14:05,080
Speaker 1: receiving yards and touchdowns last week. You're certainly going to

1423
01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:07,439
Speaker 1: start A J. Dillon again. Both B grades for those

1424
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:12,280
Speaker 1: runners and lastly, Robert Tonyan the Packers tight end C

1425
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:15,679
Speaker 1: grade here look shockingly Spry in his first game back

1426
01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:18,559
Speaker 1: from the a c L Again, nobody else to throw too.

1427
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:21,479
Speaker 1: I just think that there's just not a lot of

1428
01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:25,280
Speaker 1: sure targets for Aaron Rodgers. We'll try Tony and last

1429
01:14:25,360 --> 01:14:28,120
Speaker 1: year Chicago was a pretty good tight end defense, but

1430
01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:30,439
Speaker 1: I still don't trust him much here and I think

1431
01:14:30,439 --> 01:14:32,160
Speaker 1: there's a chance for Tony and if you need to

1432
01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:35,920
Speaker 1: throw darts at the tight end position when we come back.

1433
01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:39,519
Speaker 1: Premature Speculation. We'll tell you guys to pick up this

1434
01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:42,000
Speaker 1: week that everybody else will be trying to pick up

1435
01:14:42,120 --> 01:14:46,000
Speaker 1: next week, but they're already on your roster. Premature speculation

1436
01:14:46,200 --> 01:15:05,880
Speaker 1: coming out next on Family Football Weekly. It's the final

1437
01:15:05,920 --> 01:15:08,719
Speaker 1: segment of Fantasy Football Weekly. A reminder we are still

1438
01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:12,160
Speaker 1: creating guillotine leagues from scratch. You can still play. You

1439
01:15:12,160 --> 01:15:14,479
Speaker 1: can play with your friends in a private league anywhere

1440
01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:18,200
Speaker 1: between eight and seventeen of your friends can get together

1441
01:15:18,240 --> 01:15:21,160
Speaker 1: to form a guillotine league. Or if you don't have friends,

1442
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:24,439
Speaker 1: maybe you've just got a maybe just uncouth, maybe you've

1443
01:15:24,479 --> 01:15:29,000
Speaker 1: got a personality that most people find offensive. Then you're

1444
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:31,120
Speaker 1: going to join one of our public leagues available. We've

1445
01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:34,719
Speaker 1: got live drafts basically anytime there's not an actual NFL

1446
01:15:34,800 --> 01:15:37,879
Speaker 1: game going, You've got a live draft option at Guillotine

1447
01:15:37,960 --> 01:15:41,839
Speaker 1: leagues dot com. Alright, gentlemen, it's time for a favorite

1448
01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:45,200
Speaker 1: segment on this show, Premature Speculation. This is where we

1449
01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:48,240
Speaker 1: get players other others will be trying to pick up

1450
01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 1: next week, but are already going to be on your

1451
01:15:50,160 --> 01:15:52,559
Speaker 1: roster because you listen to this show. Scott, who is

1452
01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:55,559
Speaker 1: your premature speculation player this week? I am gonna go

1453
01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:58,280
Speaker 1: with Van Jefferson, who is close to being back for

1454
01:15:58,280 --> 01:16:01,000
Speaker 1: the Rams this week but could quite get there. He'll

1455
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:03,920
Speaker 1: probably be back next week. Uh, he was really starting

1456
01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:06,559
Speaker 1: to flash and show things at the end of last year.

1457
01:16:06,720 --> 01:16:09,719
Speaker 1: And there's a small chance Allen Robinson is actually washed

1458
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:12,280
Speaker 1: and Van Jefferson becomes the number two in a very

1459
01:16:12,400 --> 01:16:16,240
Speaker 1: highly explosive offense. And for my second prespect because apparently

1460
01:16:16,240 --> 01:16:19,880
Speaker 1: we're doing things like that now, Donovan Peoples Jones could

1461
01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:22,559
Speaker 1: legit be that wide receiver one for that team. He's

1462
01:16:22,600 --> 01:16:25,080
Speaker 1: seventeen percent rostered. He should be on a roster. I

1463
01:16:25,120 --> 01:16:27,080
Speaker 1: picked him up in a few leagues last week. Brian,

1464
01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:31,439
Speaker 1: your premature speculation player, speaking of potential team wide receiver ones.

1465
01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:36,080
Speaker 1: I got New York's Richie James. M rich James five

1466
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:38,599
Speaker 1: catches last week. That's the same amount as of catches

1467
01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:41,679
Speaker 1: as Sterling Shepherd, Darius Tony, Kenny Galady, and wan Dale

1468
01:16:41,720 --> 01:16:45,880
Speaker 1: Robinson combined. And listen, we know Sterling Shepherd is injury prone,

1469
01:16:46,120 --> 01:16:51,080
Speaker 1: Gadarius Tony's kind of looking like he's injury prone. He's cooked,

1470
01:16:51,200 --> 01:16:53,880
Speaker 1: and then there's wan Dale Robinson. So Richie James, Rich

1471
01:16:54,040 --> 01:16:56,439
Speaker 1: James could be uh the number one wide receiver for

1472
01:16:56,479 --> 01:16:58,680
Speaker 1: the Jihnts this season. Bill grab him? Why not? How

1473
01:16:58,720 --> 01:17:02,080
Speaker 1: about Gus Edwards? By this time next week, Gus Edwards

1474
01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:04,559
Speaker 1: is going to be through three of his four weeks

1475
01:17:04,680 --> 01:17:08,800
Speaker 1: of of the populist that he's on, the injured reserve

1476
01:17:08,880 --> 01:17:11,519
Speaker 1: that he's on, and so he'll be looking at coming back.

1477
01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:15,080
Speaker 1: Kenyan Drake and Mike Davis for Baltimore are totally washed up,

1478
01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:19,400
Speaker 1: and Edwards should reaffirm his position is the backup behind

1479
01:17:19,479 --> 01:17:21,600
Speaker 1: Dobbins in a time share that we believe it is

1480
01:17:21,600 --> 01:17:25,400
Speaker 1: going to be like sixty forty Dobbins to Edwards. I'll

1481
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:29,320
Speaker 1: take a running rate uh for a team that runs

1482
01:17:29,320 --> 01:17:31,680
Speaker 1: the ball as much as the Ravens do. And as

1483
01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:36,000
Speaker 1: a reminder about Gus Edwards. His last healthy year he

1484
01:17:36,080 --> 01:17:39,640
Speaker 1: was Pro Football Focus is fifth ranked running back and

1485
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:42,800
Speaker 1: he's never averaged less than five yards per carry in

1486
01:17:42,880 --> 01:17:46,960
Speaker 1: any season. Gus Edwards a good running back who's gonna

1487
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:49,400
Speaker 1: come back and be an impact player for the Ravens,

1488
01:17:49,439 --> 01:17:53,000
Speaker 1: and you'll want to pick him up, I believe. Let's

1489
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:55,479
Speaker 1: get back to our matchups. The next matchup up is

1490
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:59,080
Speaker 1: the Colts taking on the Jaguar Scott. For the Colts,

1491
01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:01,280
Speaker 1: it's no Alec Pierce and this one and it looks

1492
01:18:01,320 --> 01:18:03,120
Speaker 1: like Michael Pittman is not going to go. But he

1493
01:18:03,200 --> 01:18:07,000
Speaker 1: said earlier you still like Matt Ryan at the quarterback position. Yeah,

1494
01:18:07,040 --> 01:18:10,040
Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm still not sure about Michael Pittman. But yeah,

1495
01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:14,760
Speaker 1: it's looking looking like practice. I know, well he got

1496
01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:18,160
Speaker 1: he got hurt on Wednesday, um, and then he didn't

1497
01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:21,360
Speaker 1: practice on Thursday, and then they skipped the team skipped

1498
01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:25,719
Speaker 1: their Friday practice. So the B reporters, the B reporters

1499
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:29,320
Speaker 1: actually say it's on the optimistic side of questions. Okay, so,

1500
01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:32,960
Speaker 1: but for the Colts, Jonathan Taylor's and obviously pretty much

1501
01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:35,320
Speaker 1: every week Matt Ryan was my take a chance on

1502
01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:37,519
Speaker 1: me quarterback and he hines was my take a chance

1503
01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:40,120
Speaker 1: on me running back Paris Campbell was one of your

1504
01:18:40,160 --> 01:18:42,840
Speaker 1: many take a chance on the players over there in charge.

1505
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:45,960
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman does get the C grade for me if

1506
01:18:45,960 --> 01:18:50,639
Speaker 1: he goes. The hesitancy is on the injury. I mentioned

1507
01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:53,200
Speaker 1: what the practices were this week, but he may play

1508
01:18:53,280 --> 01:18:55,600
Speaker 1: limited naps if he goes, so I don't want to

1509
01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:57,600
Speaker 1: give him an A grade, assuming he'll be healthy and

1510
01:18:57,640 --> 01:19:00,679
Speaker 1: get his alpha rollback. I'm only given him a segrade.

1511
01:19:00,920 --> 01:19:04,280
Speaker 1: On the Jags side, Uh, Trevor Lawrence did his usual

1512
01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:06,320
Speaker 1: throw the ball into the ground or throw it too high,

1513
01:19:06,360 --> 01:19:09,360
Speaker 1: thinking his wide receivers are yell ming or something. Uh.

1514
01:19:09,600 --> 01:19:12,519
Speaker 1: You aren't starting him unless he becomes more efficient with

1515
01:19:12,520 --> 01:19:15,720
Speaker 1: those attempts. But a bright spot was Christian Kirk. He's

1516
01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:18,160
Speaker 1: the clear wide receiver one there. They paid him like that,

1517
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:20,640
Speaker 1: and he's the clear wide receiver one. He hauled in

1518
01:19:20,720 --> 01:19:25,400
Speaker 1: six of his twelve targets. Twelve targets. That's awesome, awesome volume. Uh,

1519
01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:27,960
Speaker 1: topping a hundred yards. He'll get his because he'll be

1520
01:19:27,960 --> 01:19:30,320
Speaker 1: playing the same role that Brandon Cooks played last week

1521
01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:33,120
Speaker 1: in a similar workload. UH. And he had eighty two

1522
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:37,040
Speaker 1: yards against that defense. Uh So, I think Christian Kirk

1523
01:19:37,160 --> 01:19:39,680
Speaker 1: is getting a B grade for me here. I kind

1524
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:41,800
Speaker 1: of want to say, see, but it's the volumes just

1525
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:44,760
Speaker 1: too high, and he's the main guy. I have both

1526
01:19:44,840 --> 01:19:47,160
Speaker 1: Za Jones and Marvin Jones on the bench. The Jags

1527
01:19:47,160 --> 01:19:50,080
Speaker 1: do play a ton of three wide receivers sets. They

1528
01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:53,200
Speaker 1: had pretty even numbers, but this has the fuel of

1529
01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:55,840
Speaker 1: an offense where the twomate might flip week to week.

1530
01:19:55,880 --> 01:19:58,040
Speaker 1: The indicators are a little in Za's favor. If you're

1531
01:19:58,040 --> 01:20:00,560
Speaker 1: really in a pinch. It's a matt hip against the

1532
01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:02,720
Speaker 1: bottom ten d from a year ago. But this the

1533
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:05,160
Speaker 1: Vegas over under his thirty seven on this game, the

1534
01:20:05,200 --> 01:20:06,720
Speaker 1: lowest of the week. There's not going to be a

1535
01:20:06,720 --> 01:20:09,000
Speaker 1: lot going on. I saw one of these next gen

1536
01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:15,440
Speaker 1: stats um bits the fastest timed receiver last week Jones,

1537
01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:19,519
Speaker 1: And remember he that guy is a little bit of

1538
01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:22,599
Speaker 1: an athletic freak. He he had that hovering stand back

1539
01:20:22,680 --> 01:20:24,479
Speaker 1: up thing from a couple of years ago and that

1540
01:20:24,600 --> 01:20:27,920
Speaker 1: was weird. Yeah. Yeah, Over to the running game, Travis

1541
01:20:27,960 --> 01:20:30,519
Speaker 1: C t N and James Robinson might be annoying this season.

1542
01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:32,519
Speaker 1: I have a C grade on E. T N here

1543
01:20:32,560 --> 01:20:35,200
Speaker 1: in a bench grade on Robinson, and I know it's

1544
01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:37,880
Speaker 1: super weird, but E t N played a hundred percent

1545
01:20:37,920 --> 01:20:40,080
Speaker 1: of the short yard of snaps, a hundred percent of

1546
01:20:40,160 --> 01:20:43,320
Speaker 1: the minute two minute drill snaps, seventy five percent of

1547
01:20:43,360 --> 01:20:45,960
Speaker 1: the long down and distance snaps, and if Lawrence was

1548
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:48,640
Speaker 1: more accurate, he would have had two touchdowns. One was

1549
01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:51,960
Speaker 1: completely thrown over or thrown yeah, thrown over. The other

1550
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:55,080
Speaker 1: one he had barely reached up and tipped and could

1551
01:20:55,080 --> 01:20:57,200
Speaker 1: barely get ahold of. He was wide open for one

1552
01:20:57,240 --> 01:21:00,240
Speaker 1: of the touchdowns that we probably could have caught. You

1553
01:21:00,280 --> 01:21:02,760
Speaker 1: and I think both tweeted within about sixty seconds of

1554
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:05,439
Speaker 1: each other in the middle of Sunday. Trevor Lawrence still

1555
01:21:05,439 --> 01:21:09,719
Speaker 1: can't pack. He can't. Everybody just just was like, Oh,

1556
01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:13,400
Speaker 1: it's not his fault. Urban Meyer, I will say, had

1557
01:21:13,560 --> 01:21:16,280
Speaker 1: pass so far. I hope it changes. Et N did

1558
01:21:16,280 --> 01:21:18,080
Speaker 1: have a lot of bad places, and that's why Robinson

1559
01:21:18,160 --> 01:21:20,519
Speaker 1: got a lot of looks. But I have the secret

1560
01:21:20,560 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 1: on E t N. The reason the grads are so

1561
01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:24,639
Speaker 1: low is the the Colts were the third best against

1562
01:21:24,680 --> 01:21:27,479
Speaker 1: running backs last year top ten last week, allowing a

1563
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:30,200
Speaker 1: paltry two point nine yards per carry, and that's why

1564
01:21:30,320 --> 01:21:32,720
Speaker 1: Damian Pierce is going to have a bounce back right there.

1565
01:21:33,160 --> 01:21:37,120
Speaker 1: Titans take on the Bills. Brian Um Derrick Henry a

1566
01:21:37,200 --> 01:21:39,720
Speaker 1: pretty sizable disappointment in week one. What do you think

1567
01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:42,360
Speaker 1: in Week two? And arguably a tougher matchup. Yeah, it's

1568
01:21:42,360 --> 01:21:44,320
Speaker 1: a it's a brutal matchup. That's why he gets the

1569
01:21:44,400 --> 01:21:49,440
Speaker 1: lower case B for Derrick Henry. He'll probably get fifteen carries. Sorry,

1570
01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:52,439
Speaker 1: but it's a brutal matchup. That data said Buffalo allowed

1571
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:54,559
Speaker 1: less than ninety rushing yards in a touchdown per game

1572
01:21:54,600 --> 01:21:56,640
Speaker 1: to opposing running backs last year. Henry did have a

1573
01:21:56,680 --> 01:21:59,720
Speaker 1: monster game against Buffalo, but that they're old line in

1574
01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:02,280
Speaker 1: Tennessee has taken a step back from last year. So

1575
01:22:02,479 --> 01:22:06,080
Speaker 1: just the lower case little B for Henry. Dontrell Hilliard

1576
01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:07,840
Speaker 1: on the bench, but he should be rostered. But not

1577
01:22:07,880 --> 01:22:09,960
Speaker 1: a good week for him this week to start on

1578
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:13,000
Speaker 1: the Bill surrendered the third fewest receptions running back running

1579
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:15,639
Speaker 1: backs last year. So Hilliard is on the bench, by

1580
01:22:15,640 --> 01:22:17,720
Speaker 1: the way, is he well that makes it further on

1581
01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:20,439
Speaker 1: the bench. Kyle Phillips, I'm gonna give him a seat.

1582
01:22:20,439 --> 01:22:23,040
Speaker 1: He led the team and targets, catches, and yards last week.

1583
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:26,320
Speaker 1: He was targeted on targeted on seven percent of Ryan

1584
01:22:26,360 --> 01:22:29,800
Speaker 1: Tannehill's dropbacks. Hate the matchup, but Tannon has to throw

1585
01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:31,920
Speaker 1: to somebody, and Philip seems like the guy. It certainly

1586
01:22:31,960 --> 01:22:35,240
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like Treylon Burke's and where Robert Woods who

1587
01:22:35,240 --> 01:22:37,599
Speaker 1: combined for four catches and six eight yards last week.

1588
01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:39,960
Speaker 1: They're both on the bench in a tough matchup, as

1589
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:44,519
Speaker 1: is Austin Hooper. Jeff Swain led Tennessee's tight end to targets, receptions,

1590
01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:47,400
Speaker 1: and yards last week, so I can't advocate starting Hooper,

1591
01:22:47,479 --> 01:22:50,439
Speaker 1: even though the Bills yielded eleven targets to Tyler Higgy

1592
01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:53,360
Speaker 1: Higby last week. Hooper is on the bench, as is

1593
01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:56,599
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill. That shouldn't be h too hard to decipher

1594
01:22:56,680 --> 01:22:59,439
Speaker 1: considering I hate all the past catchers. Basically over to

1595
01:22:59,479 --> 01:23:03,400
Speaker 1: the Buffalo side, Devin Singletarry and Zack Moss. Canna give

1596
01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:05,760
Speaker 1: them both the sea. The Titans were stout against the

1597
01:23:05,840 --> 01:23:08,160
Speaker 1: run last season, but so far that hasn't carried over

1598
01:23:08,200 --> 01:23:11,439
Speaker 1: to two. Just ask Sae Kwon Barkley about that. Who

1599
01:23:11,439 --> 01:23:15,200
Speaker 1: shredded the Titans run defense single Arry saw of the

1600
01:23:15,200 --> 01:23:17,200
Speaker 1: snaps last week. So he still has a lead back,

1601
01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:19,840
Speaker 1: but I see both he and Moss topping ten touches

1602
01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:22,200
Speaker 1: in this game, and James Cook dead to us for now.

1603
01:23:22,240 --> 01:23:25,679
Speaker 1: He's on the bench. Of course, Stefon Diggs monster game

1604
01:23:25,880 --> 01:23:29,040
Speaker 1: in week one. He's an easy abuse. Jalen Ramsey basically

1605
01:23:29,080 --> 01:23:31,519
Speaker 1: matchup proof digs. No no need to go any further

1606
01:23:31,560 --> 01:23:34,280
Speaker 1: into that. Gabriel Davis can give him a bet. He

1607
01:23:34,280 --> 01:23:36,439
Speaker 1: didn't see a ton of targets last week, but he

1608
01:23:36,479 --> 01:23:38,880
Speaker 1: made the most of them. He played in nine of

1609
01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:40,760
Speaker 1: the snaps and ran a pass route on every single

1610
01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:42,960
Speaker 1: one of Josh Allen's drop backs. He remains a must

1611
01:23:42,960 --> 01:23:46,280
Speaker 1: start in almost any matchup. And we talked about how

1612
01:23:46,320 --> 01:23:51,320
Speaker 1: bad Tennessey was against slot receivers last year. I'll reiterate um,

1613
01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:54,440
Speaker 1: they gave up the most PPR points to slot wide receivers.

1614
01:23:55,520 --> 01:23:57,680
Speaker 1: Of the wide receiver points they gave up went to

1615
01:23:57,760 --> 01:24:02,040
Speaker 1: slot receivers thirteen and wide receiver touchdowns surrendered went to

1616
01:24:02,080 --> 01:24:04,760
Speaker 1: slot receivers. So I give Isaiah Mackenzie the sea, and

1617
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:06,720
Speaker 1: I also like Jamison Crowder. That's why I used my

1618
01:24:06,760 --> 01:24:09,320
Speaker 1: take a chance on me wide receiver fired that bullet

1619
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:12,240
Speaker 1: at Jamison Crowder both Cole Beasley and Manny Sanders had

1620
01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:14,519
Speaker 1: great games when these teams met last year or so.

1621
01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:17,800
Speaker 1: I like Mackenzie and crowder Dawson Knox, I do not

1622
01:24:17,880 --> 01:24:19,759
Speaker 1: like him again this week. I got him on the bench.

1623
01:24:20,080 --> 01:24:22,200
Speaker 1: The Titans allowed the Giants tight ends to combine for

1624
01:24:22,280 --> 01:24:25,320
Speaker 1: just one target, one catch, one yard last week. It's

1625
01:24:25,320 --> 01:24:27,479
Speaker 1: not like anyone who was expecting anything from New York's

1626
01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:30,400
Speaker 1: Chris Maya Rick to have a breakout game, but this

1627
01:24:30,439 --> 01:24:33,040
Speaker 1: looks like a continuation of last season, where Tennessee allowed

1628
01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:36,400
Speaker 1: the fifth fewest yards, sixth fewest receptions, and just three

1629
01:24:36,439 --> 01:24:39,320
Speaker 1: touchdowns to tight ends. So Knox on the bench for

1630
01:24:39,400 --> 01:24:42,639
Speaker 1: one more week, and Josh Allen quite the opposite. He's

1631
01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:46,519
Speaker 1: in a obviously, he's basically always in a su the

1632
01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:48,880
Speaker 1: other Monday nighter, and for some reason, we have two

1633
01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:52,040
Speaker 1: Monday nighters, but they're both on the East Coast. If

1634
01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:54,160
Speaker 1: you're gonna have two Monday nighters, you gotta stagger him

1635
01:24:54,200 --> 01:24:56,679
Speaker 1: so people can watch one or the other. Right, watch

1636
01:24:56,760 --> 01:24:59,160
Speaker 1: both rather, I mean, instead of having to choose, I

1637
01:24:59,240 --> 01:25:02,080
Speaker 1: got to bring both. It's a little weird. I don't

1638
01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:06,400
Speaker 1: get that Vikings Eagles is the other Monday night game. Uh,

1639
01:25:06,520 --> 01:25:09,120
Speaker 1: we'll start with the Viking side justin Jefferson's obviously grade.

1640
01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:10,519
Speaker 1: We're not going to spend time on that, but let's

1641
01:25:10,520 --> 01:25:12,920
Speaker 1: talk about some of the other receivers. Adam Theland after

1642
01:25:12,920 --> 01:25:15,280
Speaker 1: a quiet game gets a B grade here should see

1643
01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:18,280
Speaker 1: more opportunities in this game, even in a matchup with

1644
01:25:18,439 --> 01:25:23,280
Speaker 1: another another challenging secondary. The outside cornerbacks Darius Slay and

1645
01:25:23,320 --> 01:25:26,240
Speaker 1: James Bradberry have combined to allow just one score over

1646
01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:29,559
Speaker 1: their last six games, which creates a contrast to Theland's

1647
01:25:29,560 --> 01:25:33,360
Speaker 1: touchdown scoring prowess. But the Eagles are very susceptible in

1648
01:25:33,360 --> 01:25:35,439
Speaker 1: the slot, at least moderate. You're susceptible in the slot,

1649
01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:38,720
Speaker 1: and we saw I'm on ros st Brown's big game

1650
01:25:38,720 --> 01:25:40,640
Speaker 1: from the slot last week, and Theland runs from the

1651
01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:42,679
Speaker 1: slot regularly, and I think we get up an uptick

1652
01:25:42,720 --> 01:25:45,679
Speaker 1: here and a very possible touchdown B grade for Theland.

1653
01:25:45,880 --> 01:25:48,640
Speaker 1: He's always a possible touchdown. I feel like he is

1654
01:25:49,240 --> 01:25:51,479
Speaker 1: h J. J. Osbourne very quiet last week, but he

1655
01:25:51,560 --> 01:25:53,799
Speaker 1: runs from the slot, as you just mentioned of Ante Mattos,

1656
01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:55,920
Speaker 1: all of that same stuff. I like Osborne with a

1657
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:58,040
Speaker 1: C grade here with a bigger role in the in

1658
01:25:58,120 --> 01:26:01,519
Speaker 1: the greatest weakness coming from the slot. Uh Kirk Cousins

1659
01:26:01,600 --> 01:26:03,799
Speaker 1: five got A B and C grades on his receivers.

1660
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:07,280
Speaker 1: I've got to like Cousins as well. Uh Bradberry very good.

1661
01:26:07,360 --> 01:26:10,919
Speaker 1: James Bradberry cornerback was very good last Sunday, allowing thirteen

1662
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:14,559
Speaker 1: yards on six targets. But every part of the Vikings

1663
01:26:14,600 --> 01:26:17,000
Speaker 1: passing game is far stronger than with the Lions would

1664
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:20,120
Speaker 1: have allowed last week. So I still like Cousins here.

1665
01:26:20,160 --> 01:26:23,200
Speaker 1: Probably not a gigantic game, but a good enough game

1666
01:26:23,240 --> 01:26:27,160
Speaker 1: for a B grade for him. And then Dalvin Cook. Um,

1667
01:26:27,280 --> 01:26:29,840
Speaker 1: Cook's value took took a hit at the goal line.

1668
01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:33,599
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell ran five plays from inside the ten yard line.

1669
01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:36,519
Speaker 1: Just one was a Cook run, and I think we're

1670
01:26:36,520 --> 01:26:39,479
Speaker 1: gonna see so different and I know I think this

1671
01:26:39,600 --> 01:26:43,479
Speaker 1: mayor this mirrors the past heavy usage of the Rams

1672
01:26:43,800 --> 01:26:47,240
Speaker 1: last year, um, and so that's probably gonna be something

1673
01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:50,040
Speaker 1: that continues here. Still, Leagles just gave up one hundred

1674
01:26:50,200 --> 01:26:54,360
Speaker 1: seventy two yards and three scores DeAndre Swift and Jamal Williams.

1675
01:26:54,400 --> 01:26:57,920
Speaker 1: So you're certainly starting Dalvin Cook a B grade for him.

1676
01:26:58,280 --> 01:27:00,920
Speaker 1: On the Philadelphia side, A J. Browns and obvious A,

1677
01:27:01,439 --> 01:27:03,599
Speaker 1: you know, to start him after the Giant game last week.

1678
01:27:03,640 --> 01:27:05,639
Speaker 1: And Jalen Hurts also an A. And I think we're

1679
01:27:05,640 --> 01:27:07,000
Speaker 1: getting to the point where we just say that he's

1680
01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:09,880
Speaker 1: in every week A, right and just obvious A. And

1681
01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:15,280
Speaker 1: that's it to top twelve quarterback and eighteen how about that? Yeah,

1682
01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:16,960
Speaker 1: he didn't throw a touchdown last week and he was

1683
01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:21,040
Speaker 1: QB five with no touchdown passes. And if the Vikings

1684
01:27:21,080 --> 01:27:23,679
Speaker 1: get pressure on Hurts, he's got the elusiveness to extend

1685
01:27:23,720 --> 01:27:27,040
Speaker 1: plays and that pressure also, you know, he could offen

1686
01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:29,960
Speaker 1: essentially make it harder for Patrick Peterson and Cam Danceler

1687
01:27:30,240 --> 01:27:32,719
Speaker 1: to hang with A. J. Brown and the other receivers there,

1688
01:27:33,080 --> 01:27:35,800
Speaker 1: like Dallas Goddard as well. The Packers have a hodgepodge

1689
01:27:35,800 --> 01:27:38,479
Speaker 1: of tight ends that combined for six catches, sixty seven

1690
01:27:38,520 --> 01:27:41,559
Speaker 1: yards and no touchdowns, and Dallas Goddard figures would better

1691
01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:43,880
Speaker 1: than all of those that the Vikings gave up last week.

1692
01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:47,280
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders B greade on Dallas Gollard, B grade on

1693
01:27:47,400 --> 01:27:50,240
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders, who was great last week's seven point six

1694
01:27:50,320 --> 01:27:53,719
Speaker 1: yards per carry that was a very strong play. Vikings

1695
01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:56,679
Speaker 1: run defense looked really good but went largely on challenge

1696
01:27:56,760 --> 01:27:59,640
Speaker 1: there Kenneth Gainewell on the bench last week. Just the

1697
01:27:59,640 --> 01:28:02,759
Speaker 1: twenty three snaps seven touches not enough work, and Boston

1698
01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:05,400
Speaker 1: Scott needs a goal line run for any relevance that

1699
01:28:05,560 --> 01:28:08,240
Speaker 1: he is not available either. Do you miss any part
