0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.880
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio.

0:00:06.000 --> 0:00:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from my Heart Radio,

0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:14.080
<v Speaker 1>your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and

0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:23.360
<v Speaker 1>advices from Guillotine Leagues dot com. Here's your host. Welcome

0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:26.080
<v Speaker 1>to a week to edition of Fantasy Football Weekly. I

0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:28.560
<v Speaker 1>am Paul Giarchy and my co host today are Scott

0:00:28.600 --> 0:00:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Fish and Brian Johnson. Hey, guys, it seems like I'd

0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:34.919
<v Speaker 1>never leave now. I don't just always love having you here.

0:00:34.960 --> 0:00:39.599
<v Speaker 1>It's fantastic. Brian, Um, not as much you, but you know,

0:00:40.600 --> 0:00:44.040
<v Speaker 1>but you're here. There were that there were ones of

0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:45.720
<v Speaker 1>people asking me if I was gonna be on the

0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:48.919
<v Speaker 1>show today. I was missed by something. One was like

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:51.920
<v Speaker 1>my mom, Yeah. The other was both of your guys,

0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Mom's well and you and your new puppy very concerned.

0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Your teams are either one in or oh and one.

0:01:01.120 --> 0:01:03.720
<v Speaker 1>If you're only in one league, and the temptation is

0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.400
<v Speaker 1>to feel like if you're want to know you nailed it.

0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:08.560
<v Speaker 1>And if you're temptation is your temptation of your oh

0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:10.920
<v Speaker 1>and one is to go, oh, my team is a disaster.

0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:14.319
<v Speaker 1>Most likely you know you're gonna end up one and

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.360
<v Speaker 1>one at the end of this week, and you're somewhere

0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:18.880
<v Speaker 1>in between those two spots, and it's probably not as

0:01:18.880 --> 0:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>good or bad as you think, and it'll all even

0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:23.400
<v Speaker 1>out a little bit. Take um, as just one example,

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:25.720
<v Speaker 1>the Mike Williams game from week one to week two.

0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, those are the kinds of things that happened

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:30.039
<v Speaker 1>that tend to level the playing field a little bit

0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:32.840
<v Speaker 1>in fantasy football in week two. The only people who

0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:35.160
<v Speaker 1>should truly be upset about Week one are those who

0:01:35.160 --> 0:01:38.040
<v Speaker 1>were chopped in their Guillotine league. Those those people. But

0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:41.200
<v Speaker 1>everyone else has calmed down. There's a lot of season left,

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.800
<v Speaker 1>you are, okay, plenty of season left at guillotine leagues

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:45.560
<v Speaker 1>dot com. By the way, we're still forming new leagues,

0:01:45.680 --> 0:01:49.240
<v Speaker 1>seventeen person leagues through this week out at least sixteen

0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>next week as well, will be the week after. Wait,

0:01:53.640 --> 0:02:00.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to figure out how math works by zero

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:05.800
<v Speaker 1>carry the one. Yes, that's exactly right. We've got plenty

0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 1>to get to. Over the course of this show, we

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:10.880
<v Speaker 1>will break down all of the games Fantasy Football Weekly style,

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.200
<v Speaker 1>with letter grades on all of the players. We will

0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 1>go through our favorite players upon whom you can take

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:18.840
<v Speaker 1>a chance we will answer three tough questions, and we

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:21.520
<v Speaker 1>will go into the time machine to give you some

0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:26.480
<v Speaker 1>preman speculation. Near the end of the show, we begin

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:29.360
<v Speaker 1>with our first matchup of the week, Cardinals taking on

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:32.840
<v Speaker 1>the Raiders. Cardinals basically couldn't have looked worse in all

0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:36.919
<v Speaker 1>the first game. Boy, they that defense that the Chiefs

0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>will make a lot of defenses look bad, but I

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:42.480
<v Speaker 1>think they're legitimately bad by any standard. Yeah, yeah, it

0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:45.839
<v Speaker 1>did not look good last week. Luckily for Murray, things

0:02:45.840 --> 0:02:48.519
<v Speaker 1>should be maybe a little bit better this week. Las

0:02:48.600 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Vegas was the fifth worst against quarterbacks last week, but

0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:52.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean you got to take into account that they

0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 1>played Justin Herbert, so maybe it was just a Justin

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Herbert thing. But Kyler Murray has been a pretty dang

0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:02.080
<v Speaker 1>good fantasy quarterback or last few years. Uh. The offense

0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:05.240
<v Speaker 1>was bad, as we've mentioned, and Murray's day and really

0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Hollywood Brown and zach ERT's day were saved by being

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:12.520
<v Speaker 1>down thirty in the fourth. That's not even hyper hyperbole,

0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Like it was thirty seven to seven and those two

0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:17.839
<v Speaker 1>had forty total yards and no scores. They got two

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:20.720
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns right at the end to make it the sledding

0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:23.359
<v Speaker 1>is gonna get a little easier here. Murray might need

0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:25.680
<v Speaker 1>to get a couple on his a couple with his

0:03:25.919 --> 0:03:28.000
<v Speaker 1>a couple of points with his legs, but I still

0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:29.640
<v Speaker 1>have a B grade on him. In a matchup that

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.799
<v Speaker 1>has the second highest over under total of the week

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:36.560
<v Speaker 1>should still be a pretty decent shootout. Um. I have

0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:42.320
<v Speaker 1>Greg Doorche on the bench of snaps, leading targets tied,

0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:44.760
<v Speaker 1>and routes run. I almost want to give him a

0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:47.080
<v Speaker 1>sea here. I just don't know that I can count

0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 1>on it yet. I just don't know that maybe a

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 1>J Ground, a J Brown, a JA Green gets more involved. Uh,

0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.920
<v Speaker 1>he's got the better matchup. Greg Dortch actually has one

0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 1>of the worst matchups in the NFL this week, going

0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 1>against one of the league's best up and coming slot corners,

0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Nate Hobbs. Yeah, they're nickelback slot corner. He's just he

0:04:09.000 --> 0:04:11.600
<v Speaker 1>might take Greg Dortch out. So you got the plus

0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:13.800
<v Speaker 1>matchups on the sides with Green and Brown. I do

0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:16.320
<v Speaker 1>have a bench grade on Green because he's almost a

0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:20.160
<v Speaker 1>decaying corpse of AJ Green at this point. But I

0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:22.839
<v Speaker 1>do have the C grade on Marquise Brown. I could

0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:25.080
<v Speaker 1>see him being upped from that, but he's gonna get

0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:29.280
<v Speaker 1>bench player now turned into starter. With Anthony Everett out,

0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Meek Robinson or Rock you have seen, those guys will

0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:35.520
<v Speaker 1>be on the outside covering Green and Brown in this one.

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.039
<v Speaker 1>Brown played on the outside last week, so that's where

0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:41.400
<v Speaker 1>he'll be. Uh se grade on him. You could talk

0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:43.360
<v Speaker 1>me into a B if you want to, but I

0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:46.920
<v Speaker 1>think a C grade is fair. Zach Ertz, I'm given

0:04:46.920 --> 0:04:49.720
<v Speaker 1>a B grade. Good matchup against the Vegas team who

0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.480
<v Speaker 1>was bottom five by almost every metric against ted ends

0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:56.479
<v Speaker 1>last year. They just allowed six six receptions for seventy

0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:58.560
<v Speaker 1>eight yards and the score to tight ends last week

0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:02.680
<v Speaker 1>and that Chargers game. He has been dealing with calf injury,

0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:05.080
<v Speaker 1>but he played through it last week and he ran

0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.919
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven routes. No other tight end even ran a

0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.680
<v Speaker 1>route for them last week, so he gets everything. He

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.560
<v Speaker 1>gets everything. He he got all the red zone targets

0:05:13.560 --> 0:05:16.479
<v Speaker 1>for tight ends. He got everything. So be in a

0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:19.720
<v Speaker 1>good matchup for earths and just the scarcity at the position.

0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:23.360
<v Speaker 1>James Conner also getting a B grade here, played ad

0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:26.800
<v Speaker 1>percent of the Cardinals snaps inside the ten yard line,

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 1>which you love to see with your fantasy running back

0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:31.600
<v Speaker 1>inside the five is even better. I hear charge that's

0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:36.720
<v Speaker 1>that's something like. Uh, he had fit he played fifteen

0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:39.000
<v Speaker 1>of the two. He had fifteen of the twenty two

0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 1>running back touches. He's basically getting it all. The nice

0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.800
<v Speaker 1>part is he had five catches on six targets. He's

0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.039
<v Speaker 1>taking the pass game work, which we thought might go

0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:50.360
<v Speaker 1>to Benjamin a little bit. It really didn't. Benjamin had

0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 1>some of it. He only had seven touches. I got

0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Benjamin on the bench. I got Connor with a b

0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:57.960
<v Speaker 1>as he seemingly and every down back. We'll see how

0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:00.520
<v Speaker 1>much he gets out of it this but can expect

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.960
<v Speaker 1>fifteen plus touches. Uh. I just can't give him an

0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 1>A on this one yet. I need to see I

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:08.279
<v Speaker 1>need to see a little more um and he also

0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:13.520
<v Speaker 1>he needs touchdowns on the other side. Derek Carr A grade.

0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:16.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry. I love this. I absolutely love this match up.

0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm totally with you on this. Yeah, so adding Davantae

0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Adams is pretty big. You could argue targets last week. Absolutely,

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.360
<v Speaker 1>you could argue, uh, you know, some of the best

0:06:26.360 --> 0:06:28.760
<v Speaker 1>weapons in the NFL with there are a few better

0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 1>slot guys than than Hunter Renfrow, and he's got Waller

0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:35.039
<v Speaker 1>and Adams Arizona. Let Herbert go. Hey, I'm last week

0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 1>the Vegas totals. I've already mentioned. Um, you know, I'm

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:42.599
<v Speaker 1>also giving Davantae Adams and A grade here, but I

0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:45.640
<v Speaker 1>need a ruling from Brian. Brian, I need a ruling

0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:49.599
<v Speaker 1>from you on this. On Davantae Adams obviously ton of targets,

0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:52.000
<v Speaker 1>he's their number one receiver. It's going to be a shootout.

0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:57.440
<v Speaker 1>It's an obvious A grade. But his grandparents are have

0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:59.960
<v Speaker 1>never seen him play a professional game in the state, Like,

0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:02.800
<v Speaker 1>they've never gone to the stadium for person in person,

0:07:03.640 --> 0:07:05.600
<v Speaker 1>and they're coming this week for the first time. He's

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:08.880
<v Speaker 1>super excited about that. Is that enough for an ard Vark?

0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Just like you've got you know me, I'm more of

0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 1>a Fonzie guy, but I will give him the A

0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:16.920
<v Speaker 1>for that. The grandparents game, I love it. I love that. Okay,

0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 1>grandparents game. Uh, we're giving the art Vark. What happened?

0:07:21.440 --> 0:07:23.840
<v Speaker 1>We used to have Fonzi A on the on the

0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:28.160
<v Speaker 1>sound bar. I'm gonna have the fons N motorcycle. We

0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 1>need our Fonzie A back on the back on the

0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:33.880
<v Speaker 1>sound bar. Speaking of as, it's an a for Darren

0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Waller as well. The Cardinals got the fun draw this

0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:40.040
<v Speaker 1>year of Kelsey exploding for ade yards and score last week.

0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:43.160
<v Speaker 1>They weren't great against tight ends last year, and they

0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:45.480
<v Speaker 1>get Darren Waller this week. It reminds me kind of

0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:48.520
<v Speaker 1>the Ravens last year, didn't They started with Kelsey and

0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Waller and Hawkinson and like so for the rest of

0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:53.680
<v Speaker 1>the year, we're gonna think that the Cardinals are just

0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:56.560
<v Speaker 1>bad against tight ends, when really they started out on

0:07:56.600 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 1>this slope. Um Waller was actually really productive with his opportunities.

0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:03.400
<v Speaker 1>He only had four catches, but he had seventy nine yards.

0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:06.120
<v Speaker 1>He should actually get more work in this one eight

0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:10.320
<v Speaker 1>grade on Waller B grade Josh Jacobs, It's hard not

0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:12.560
<v Speaker 1>to like the usage we saw. Despite the totals. He

0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.720
<v Speaker 1>didn't have a lot of yards, was almost six yards

0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:18.360
<v Speaker 1>of carry, gave him the ball twelve times exactly. It's

0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:20.400
<v Speaker 1>the usage I like, and I think he's going to

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:23.520
<v Speaker 1>get more volume in this higher scoring game. Here. He

0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:26.920
<v Speaker 1>ran more more routes than all the other Vegas runners combined.

0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:29.320
<v Speaker 1>He had eleven of the sixteen touches or twelve of

0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:33.160
<v Speaker 1>the sixteen touches. Uh backups spelled him, but they didn't

0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:35.040
<v Speaker 1>have an actual role, not a pass catching role, not

0:08:35.080 --> 0:08:37.760
<v Speaker 1>a red zone role, not a two man role. He

0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:40.480
<v Speaker 1>was the lead guy and he got the over seventy

0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:43.200
<v Speaker 1>of the work. I got a B grade on Jacobs

0:08:43.200 --> 0:08:46.360
<v Speaker 1>in a matchup. I think he surpasses that twelve from

0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 1>last week and he goes fifteen plus. All right, let's

0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:51.400
<v Speaker 1>go to the Bucks at Saints and Brian for the Buccaneers.

0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:54.880
<v Speaker 1>It's a disaster scenario for fantasy owners and the Bucks

0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:57.840
<v Speaker 1>really across their wide receiver position. We gotta give a

0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.400
<v Speaker 1>quick shout out to loyal listener Mark McNeil who dubbed

0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:04.760
<v Speaker 1>them the questionnaires this week about that very considering we

0:09:04.840 --> 0:09:07.880
<v Speaker 1>know that I believe they have five wide receivers that

0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:10.640
<v Speaker 1>all have the questionable designation coming into this game, and

0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Chris Godwin has been ruled out. Yeah, so we'll start

0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.240
<v Speaker 1>with Mike Evans. He has he's dealing with the cap injury.

0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:19.440
<v Speaker 1>He did practice on Friday, so we'll assume he's gonna

0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:21.960
<v Speaker 1>play on Sunday just to see for him though he

0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:24.560
<v Speaker 1>should see extra targets with Godwin out, but Evans will

0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:27.520
<v Speaker 1>see a lot of Marshawn Lattimore in coverage, which is

0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:29.960
<v Speaker 1>which is a tough matchup. Evans managed to score in

0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:32.600
<v Speaker 1>one of two games against the Saints last year, pretty total,

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.720
<v Speaker 1>just three catches for sixty two yards across both contests,

0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:38.920
<v Speaker 1>So not very high expectations for Evans and this one.

0:09:39.640 --> 0:09:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Julio Jones questionable with a knee injury. He also practiced

0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:45.280
<v Speaker 1>on Friday, though, so he should be good to go.

0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:47.640
<v Speaker 1>He did not look washed last Sunday night at all

0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:50.520
<v Speaker 1>and made a couple of highlight catches look great. Only

0:09:50.640 --> 0:09:53.200
<v Speaker 1>saw five targets, but Tampa Bay was running all over

0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Dallas in that game. The game script was not in

0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:58.280
<v Speaker 1>his favor. That could change this week. He'll see a

0:09:58.280 --> 0:10:01.840
<v Speaker 1>lot of Bradley Roby, who allowed a catch rate and

0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:04.760
<v Speaker 1>a twenty one passer rating in his coverage last week.

0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:07.360
<v Speaker 1>So I like Jones more than I do Evans this week,

0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:09.720
<v Speaker 1>assuming both play, which we are going to assume that

0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:13.400
<v Speaker 1>as of right now. Russell Gauge questionable with a hamstring injury.

0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:15.800
<v Speaker 1>Gonna give him a see though I saw just two

0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:18.320
<v Speaker 1>targets in Week one, only ran eighteen pass routes, but

0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:20.000
<v Speaker 1>he should see a bump in those numbers with God

0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.040
<v Speaker 1>went out, So I think he is startable in this

0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:25.160
<v Speaker 1>one with the Sea and who is not startable are

0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:27.600
<v Speaker 1>the tight ends. They're all on the bench unless Gronk

0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:31.000
<v Speaker 1>somehow unretires before to kickoff. Think the ends had one

0:10:31.080 --> 0:10:34.800
<v Speaker 1>catch in the in the last in last week's game. Yeah,

0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:37.520
<v Speaker 1>it's not a great matchup regardless, but yeah, you don't

0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:39.280
<v Speaker 1>want to touch the tight ends on Tampa Bay and

0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:42.320
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady. You barely want to touch him, just to

0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:45.280
<v Speaker 1>see for him. Opposing quarterbacks average just two hundred forty

0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:47.960
<v Speaker 1>three passing yards at one point two touchdowns against New

0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:50.839
<v Speaker 1>Orleans last season, and the Bucks offensive line is a

0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:53.960
<v Speaker 1>major concern right now. The Saints have allowed a completion

0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:56.319
<v Speaker 1>rate of just thirty four point six percent when the

0:10:56.360 --> 0:10:59.839
<v Speaker 1>opposing quarterback was under pressure since the season. That is

0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:01.640
<v Speaker 1>the best in the NFL. So Brady is gonna be

0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:03.080
<v Speaker 1>under a lot of drest in this game, so just

0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:06.480
<v Speaker 1>to see for him. And lastly for the Bucks, another

0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.640
<v Speaker 1>questionable player, Leonard for Nette, dealing with a hamstring injury.

0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.600
<v Speaker 1>Assuming he's good to go, you still want to monitor

0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:14.400
<v Speaker 1>his status of course, leave you know, to kick off,

0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:15.960
<v Speaker 1>but if he does play, do not like the matchup

0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:19.079
<v Speaker 1>at all. The Saints defense allowed successful plays on rush

0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:22.440
<v Speaker 1>attempts on just thirty of them last season. That's best

0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:24.360
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL. And if you're wondering what wondering what

0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:27.400
<v Speaker 1>a successful rush play is, it's basically four yards at

0:11:27.480 --> 0:11:30.240
<v Speaker 1>least four yards and situational. If it's fourth and one,

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:33.360
<v Speaker 1>A successful rush play is one. I could get more

0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:35.679
<v Speaker 1>in the weeds until but no, we won't do that.

0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:39.800
<v Speaker 1>UM Over to the New Orleans side. More questionable tags here,

0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.920
<v Speaker 1>starting with Alvin Kamara, who did not practice on Friday

0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.079
<v Speaker 1>with the rib injury. I'm just gonna give him a

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:47.360
<v Speaker 1>CEE even if he's good to go. Um, this is

0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:50.679
<v Speaker 1>a bad matchup for Kamara the Saints. I'm sorry that

0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:52.319
<v Speaker 1>the Bucks have a lot of troubling issues, but the

0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:55.160
<v Speaker 1>run defense is not one of them. After stuffing Zeke

0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:58.439
<v Speaker 1>last week, Jonathan Taylor is the only opposing running back

0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:00.760
<v Speaker 1>to top eighty rushing yards against the Bucks over their

0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:04.319
<v Speaker 1>last thirteen games, and kamaras struggled mightily in his last

0:12:04.360 --> 0:12:07.360
<v Speaker 1>game against Tampa Bay that was last season, of course,

0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:10.680
<v Speaker 1>totally just thirty one scoreless combo yards and if Kamara

0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:12.559
<v Speaker 1>somehow SAIDs mark Ingram is the next guy up. But

0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:14.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't even know if I started Ingram in this matchup.

0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.520
<v Speaker 1>It's just the Bucks. You just don't want to start

0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:20.240
<v Speaker 1>running back to pick the Bucks unless they're an elite talent. Thursday,

0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Michael Thomas is practicing and is healthy as of right now.

0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:29.560
<v Speaker 1>I saw healthy eight targets in Week one average the

0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:32.640
<v Speaker 1>third most points per drop back among wide receivers. He's

0:12:32.640 --> 0:12:34.920
<v Speaker 1>in a pretty good spot against the Bucks, who allowed

0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:38.200
<v Speaker 1>the fourth most receptions to opposing wide receivers last season.

0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:40.240
<v Speaker 1>That means I like the other two wide white outs

0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:42.280
<v Speaker 1>for the Saints, starting with the Jarvis Landry and give

0:12:42.360 --> 0:12:45.560
<v Speaker 1>him a c quite the Saints debut seven catches a

0:12:45.600 --> 0:12:48.280
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fourteen yards, including a forty yard catch that

0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:51.760
<v Speaker 1>was all airy yards. That's more air yards then Jarvis

0:12:51.880 --> 0:12:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Landry is seen a tired that's coming to earth. Exactly

0:12:57.760 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 1>were you wanting to say something? Your hand is raised? Okay?

0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Uh jokes aside, Lander looks like a steal so far

0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:05.600
<v Speaker 1>in reality and fantasy football, but he has a little

0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.280
<v Speaker 1>tougher matchup against Tampa Bayed slot quarter in Antoine Winfield,

0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:11.840
<v Speaker 1>probably the best corner on the team, Chris olav Lastly,

0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:14.160
<v Speaker 1>for the wide Receiver's gonna give him a see led

0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:16.760
<v Speaker 1>all Saints wide receivers and snaps last week, but only

0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:19.400
<v Speaker 1>saw three targets. That said, he made the most of them,

0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:21.480
<v Speaker 1>catching all three for forty one yards in a two

0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:24.400
<v Speaker 1>point conversion. Just like the Bucks. You got all the

0:13:24.440 --> 0:13:26.400
<v Speaker 1>tight ends on the bench for the Saints, but Jawan

0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Johnson and guy you want to keep an eye on,

0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:30.240
<v Speaker 1>I think we talk about more. Talk more about him

0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:34.040
<v Speaker 1>later in the show. And lastly, Jamis Winston, he's on

0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:37.000
<v Speaker 1>the bench. I gave all the pass catchers like middling grades.

0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't mean they're all gonna come through. Going back to

0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:41.520
<v Speaker 1>last year, Tampa Bay has held seven of its last

0:13:41.559 --> 0:13:45.240
<v Speaker 1>eleven opposing quarterbacks to zero or one touchdowns. When we

0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:47.520
<v Speaker 1>come back, take a chance on me. Nine players you

0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:50.199
<v Speaker 1>can put in your starting lineup. Find out who they are.

0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:53.959
<v Speaker 1>You may already have injury issues, you might have lineup deficiencies,

0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:57.360
<v Speaker 1>were ready to help you unearthed some gems. Take a

0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:23.160
<v Speaker 1>chance on me when we come back, Take a chance

0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:27.280
<v Speaker 1>on me. Not nine, but ten players upon whom you

0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:29.200
<v Speaker 1>can take a chance. Guys that are not normally in

0:14:29.200 --> 0:14:31.640
<v Speaker 1>your starting lineup may be available on the waiver wire.

0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:35.280
<v Speaker 1>We begin at the quarterback position. Scott, who is your

0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:37.640
<v Speaker 1>take a chance on me quarterback? Sounds like we got

0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.720
<v Speaker 1>a surprise coming ten players. I'm gonna I'm gonna add

0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:44.320
<v Speaker 1>players now too. I'm going with Matt Ryan going against

0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:47.320
<v Speaker 1>the Jags. That just allowed Carson Wentz to finish the

0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:51.080
<v Speaker 1>week as a top three quarterback and throw four touchdown passes.

0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Who's gonna throw those two? I wonder Ryan went for

0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.360
<v Speaker 1>yards in a touch on last week and in a

0:14:57.480 --> 0:15:01.280
<v Speaker 1>much more difficult matchup. Um was a couple of drops away,

0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:04.000
<v Speaker 1>actually two drops away from a four hundred plus multi

0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:07.480
<v Speaker 1>touchdown last week. That would have been nice. Yeah. Uh,

0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:09.640
<v Speaker 1>let's go to Brian your take a chance at me quarterback.

0:15:09.840 --> 0:15:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I have good friend of the show, Davis Mills at

0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:15.080
<v Speaker 1>the Broncos this week. Last week, Geno Smith only threw

0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:18.920
<v Speaker 1>for yards against Denver, but that was only pass attempts,

0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:22.800
<v Speaker 1>twenty three of which went for completions. That's a completion maybe,

0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:26.320
<v Speaker 1>and Gino also threw for two touchdowns no picks. So

0:15:26.360 --> 0:15:28.520
<v Speaker 1>I like Mills this week. Going back to last season,

0:15:28.560 --> 0:15:31.240
<v Speaker 1>the Broncos have allowed at least one touchdown pass in

0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:35.200
<v Speaker 1>fourteen of their last fifteen games, with multiple touchdown passes allowed,

0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:37.400
<v Speaker 1>and more than half of those games. I will continue

0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:39.960
<v Speaker 1>to say Davis Mills. There is no player in fantasy

0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:45.200
<v Speaker 1>football being more overlooked than Davis and fostered in most leagues.

0:15:45.280 --> 0:15:47.120
<v Speaker 1>It will become offensive to use him as a take on.

0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:49.040
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna get to that at some point this season.

0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:53.320
<v Speaker 1>I hope you're right. Trey Lance faces Seattle. I like

0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:55.320
<v Speaker 1>him this week in a bounce back game. Seattle just

0:15:55.320 --> 0:15:58.200
<v Speaker 1>play their super Bowl. That was a nationally televised game

0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:01.080
<v Speaker 1>against the quarterback who spurned them. They got an upset win,

0:16:01.400 --> 0:16:05.080
<v Speaker 1>major letdown coming on the road for them, and all

0:16:05.280 --> 0:16:08.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, Lance obviously had the monsoon. He had one

0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:11.200
<v Speaker 1>bad pick last week, but otherwise I thought he looked fine.

0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:15.040
<v Speaker 1>And the running is is clearly present there. And I

0:16:15.040 --> 0:16:17.120
<v Speaker 1>don't think George Kittle is gonna go, but maybe gets

0:16:17.160 --> 0:16:19.200
<v Speaker 1>George Kittle back, But even it does, it doesn't matter.

0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Deevo Samuel Brandon Ike against the secondary of Sydney Jones

0:16:22.600 --> 0:16:25.480
<v Speaker 1>and Justin Coleman and rookie Terreq Willen, and then safety

0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:28.800
<v Speaker 1>Jamal Adams is out and his replacement, a guy named

0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Josh Jones a loot four of five passes to be

0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:35.880
<v Speaker 1>completed in his coverage. It's all great for Trey Lance,

0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:38.400
<v Speaker 1>and I think we're gonna get the version of Lance

0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:41.600
<v Speaker 1>that we wanted, the dual threat running and passing coming

0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:45.280
<v Speaker 1>back this week. Let's go to the running back position. Scott,

0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:47.560
<v Speaker 1>who is your take a chance on me runner? Yes?

0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.640
<v Speaker 1>So the Indian Polis Colts talked about this all offseason,

0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:54.120
<v Speaker 1>putting heinz he Hines that is in the slot wide

0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:56.960
<v Speaker 1>receiver roll along with his running back role. What happened

0:16:56.960 --> 0:17:00.320
<v Speaker 1>Week one? Hines ran twenty routes last week on twenty

0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:02.640
<v Speaker 1>six steps, most of them out of the slot. The

0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Jags were the third worst team against the slot last week.

0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Last year there were ninth worst. Hines caught all six

0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:10.800
<v Speaker 1>of those targets for fifty yards last week, a role

0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:13.680
<v Speaker 1>they had talked about, and uh I projected that this

0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:16.320
<v Speaker 1>week as well. Five plus catch game and some extra

0:17:16.400 --> 0:17:18.879
<v Speaker 1>running work. Running back work, all right, I like it, Brian,

0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:20.960
<v Speaker 1>you take a chance of me runner. We're gonna stick

0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:23.200
<v Speaker 1>with the running back receiving angle and go with Tony

0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Pollard at home against the Bengals, who were top five

0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:27.960
<v Speaker 1>in the most catches and yards surrendered to running backs

0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:30.720
<v Speaker 1>last season. Last week, not G Harris caught a touchdown

0:17:30.720 --> 0:17:33.800
<v Speaker 1>against Since And let's be honest, it's quite plausible that

0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:36.119
<v Speaker 1>Cooper Rush will be under constant pressure and looking to

0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:38.639
<v Speaker 1>dump off to his running backs early and often in

0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:42.680
<v Speaker 1>this game. Khalil Herbert's taking on Green Bay. And even

0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:46.080
<v Speaker 1>though in last week's game David Montgomery had twice as

0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:50.200
<v Speaker 1>many carries for half as much yards as Khalil Herbert,

0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:54.879
<v Speaker 1>and you know, I'm sterned eye test here is starting

0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.560
<v Speaker 1>to lean towards Khalil Herbert as the better of the

0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:01.480
<v Speaker 1>running backs. Get this. Montgomery only averaged half a yard

0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:05.800
<v Speaker 1>after contact per carry against San Francisco. That was second

0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:09.080
<v Speaker 1>lowest among all running backs. Last week. The Packers run

0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:12.520
<v Speaker 1>defense earned a PFF ranking of twenty seventh. Last week,

0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Dalvin Cook Alexander Madison rolled up hundred twenty eight yards.

0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Even though Montgomery will get the probably continue to get

0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:21.959
<v Speaker 1>more quite a bit more work than than Khalil Herbert,

0:18:22.080 --> 0:18:25.240
<v Speaker 1>there might be enough there where Herbert becomes a plausible starter.

0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:28.520
<v Speaker 1>This week. Let's go to the receivers. Scott, you'll take

0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:30.520
<v Speaker 1>a chance on me wide out. No, it's not gonna

0:18:30.520 --> 0:18:31.919
<v Speaker 1>be a wide out this time. It's gonna be a

0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:34.760
<v Speaker 1>tight end because people need tight end help charge and

0:18:34.800 --> 0:18:38.840
<v Speaker 1>I am here for it. I'm going with Evan Ingram.

0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:42.040
<v Speaker 1>I know, I know it's gonna gross. But Evan Ingram uh.

0:18:42.080 --> 0:18:45.680
<v Speaker 1>He played of snaps and was the only tight end

0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:49.360
<v Speaker 1>in that offense to see any targets last week. His opponent,

0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:51.720
<v Speaker 1>the Colts, were the fourth worst against tight ends last year,

0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:54.679
<v Speaker 1>allowing the third most receptions and third most yards. The

0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Colts continued that trend just last week, allowing O. J.

0:18:58.240 --> 0:19:04.159
<v Speaker 1>Howard to somehow scored. He's on just six routes he ran. Uh.

0:19:04.200 --> 0:19:07.679
<v Speaker 1>Shack Leonard is also out. You were, yet again making

0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:09.359
<v Speaker 1>things a little bit easier in the middle of the

0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:12.439
<v Speaker 1>field for having Ingram, Brian, you're take a chance at

0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:15.520
<v Speaker 1>me wide out. I presumed wide out. I'm going wide out,

0:19:15.560 --> 0:19:17.840
<v Speaker 1>and I'm gonna go wide out. That everyone seems to

0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:21.199
<v Speaker 1>have forgotten about. And that's Buffalo. Buffalo's Jamison Crowder at

0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:24.080
<v Speaker 1>home against the Titans. Yes, Isaiah Mackenzie scored the slot

0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:26.280
<v Speaker 1>touchdown for the Bills last week, but Crowder had more

0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:29.600
<v Speaker 1>targets catches and yards than Mackenzie and looking at the matchup,

0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:32.639
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee was the worst team in defending the slot last season.

0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:35.399
<v Speaker 1>And these stats come courtesy of Scott Fish kind enough

0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:37.400
<v Speaker 1>to give them to me. The Titans gave up the

0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:41.199
<v Speaker 1>most PPR points to the slot last year. Sixty of

0:19:41.240 --> 0:19:44.480
<v Speaker 1>the points they surrendered to wide receivers were slot wide receivers,

0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:47.520
<v Speaker 1>and twenty one or thirteen of the twenty one touchdown

0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:50.040
<v Speaker 1>surrender to wide receivers went to slot receivers. Like, can

0:19:50.080 --> 0:19:53.119
<v Speaker 1>I start Mackenzie and Crowder? You can, but I like

0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:55.520
<v Speaker 1>Crowder more as the take on. Everyone's gonna start Mackenzie

0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Basically he'll get a sea later on. Spoiler alert, spoiler alert,

0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:00.920
<v Speaker 1>and real quick these teams met last year. Yeah cool,

0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:03.159
<v Speaker 1>Beasley had seven catches for eighty eight yards in a

0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:08.639
<v Speaker 1>touchdown and many Sanders had five catches for but don't

0:20:08.640 --> 0:20:13.000
<v Speaker 1>but don't leave Jamison. Crowder unstarted speaking of slot receivers

0:20:13.119 --> 0:20:16.960
<v Speaker 1>in a plot twist to Bizar for even Hollywood. Paris

0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Campbell is the one healthy remaining receiver for Indianapolis. Alec

0:20:22.359 --> 0:20:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Pierce is out. Michael Pittman didn't practice the week. He's

0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:29.879
<v Speaker 1>presumed out and Paris Hilton faces at Jacksonville Secondary that

0:20:30.000 --> 0:20:33.919
<v Speaker 1>just allowed four touchdowns to the modest Commander's passing attack.

0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:37.879
<v Speaker 1>As Scott alluded to earlier, Jaguars slot cornerback is a

0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:43.240
<v Speaker 1>guy named Darius Williams. Pro Football Focus is bottom ranked

0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:48.080
<v Speaker 1>cornerback from last week, ranking as cornerback one hundred seventeen

0:20:48.520 --> 0:20:51.280
<v Speaker 1>last week, allowing five of six passes in his coverage

0:20:51.280 --> 0:20:54.520
<v Speaker 1>to be completed. Paris Campbell, take a chance on me,

0:20:54.920 --> 0:20:57.880
<v Speaker 1>but wait, you may have added up a total of nine.

0:20:58.119 --> 0:21:01.679
<v Speaker 1>Take a chance on me players, and I promise ten Scott.

0:21:01.680 --> 0:21:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Do people need tight end sleepers? They do a wow

0:21:04.760 --> 0:21:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Tyler Higbee. Shockingly, Higbie emerged from week one as the

0:21:09.160 --> 0:21:13.160
<v Speaker 1>leader in targets among all tight ends with eleven, something

0:21:13.200 --> 0:21:14.639
<v Speaker 1>I think most of us would not have guessed. Just

0:21:14.720 --> 0:21:16.919
<v Speaker 1>need him to catch more this year. That would be

0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:19.120
<v Speaker 1>better to catch more, caught like four or five out

0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:22.000
<v Speaker 1>of the eleven. Um. It looks like if Allen Robinson

0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:24.320
<v Speaker 1>is going to continue to be a confringe contributor for

0:21:24.359 --> 0:21:27.400
<v Speaker 1>the Rams offense, Fan Jefferson's out for this game, this

0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:30.720
<v Speaker 1>could be another very impactful spot for Tyler Higbee up

0:21:30.760 --> 0:21:35.080
<v Speaker 1>against Atlanta Falcons allowed the anonymous tight end John Johnson

0:21:35.440 --> 0:21:39.359
<v Speaker 1>to roll up forty three yards, suggesting a far better

0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:42.359
<v Speaker 1>tight end Tyler Higbee can improve on that performance a lot,

0:21:42.640 --> 0:21:46.680
<v Speaker 1>and last year Atlanta allowed the fourth most tight end scores.

0:21:47.040 --> 0:21:51.199
<v Speaker 1>So a little a double a double header, take a

0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:55.119
<v Speaker 1>chance on me, Paris Campbell, Tyler Higbee. Uh, let's return

0:21:55.160 --> 0:21:58.080
<v Speaker 1>to the Let's return to the matchups, and oh you

0:21:58.119 --> 0:22:03.160
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm up next? Commanders taking on Detroit, Let's

0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:06.800
<v Speaker 1>begin with Antonio Gibson. For all of our worries in

0:22:06.840 --> 0:22:11.640
<v Speaker 1>the preseason, Gibson basically shut us all up. He showed explosiveness.

0:22:11.640 --> 0:22:15.159
<v Speaker 1>He ran for uh ten or more yards on a

0:22:15.359 --> 0:22:18.399
<v Speaker 1>third of his attempts against Jacksonville topped it off of

0:22:18.440 --> 0:22:24.440
<v Speaker 1>a career high seven receptions for seventy two yards. Detroit

0:22:24.800 --> 0:22:28.040
<v Speaker 1>allowed Philadelphia to drive the ball in them all game long.

0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Four different Eagles scored rushing touchdowns. They ran for over

0:22:31.080 --> 0:22:34.600
<v Speaker 1>two yards on thirty nine combined carries. That was five

0:22:34.640 --> 0:22:36.760
<v Speaker 1>and a half yards per attempt, and the Lions only

0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:39.399
<v Speaker 1>held opposing running backs under ninety yards four times in

0:22:39.440 --> 0:22:42.880
<v Speaker 1>the last twenty four games. So we like Antonio Gibson

0:22:42.960 --> 0:22:46.840
<v Speaker 1>with an A grade boy, I'm putting mckissic on the

0:22:46.840 --> 0:22:51.600
<v Speaker 1>bench because mckissic thrives on negative game scripts, something that

0:22:51.760 --> 0:22:54.480
<v Speaker 1>Washington generally has but did not have last week and

0:22:54.600 --> 0:22:56.920
<v Speaker 1>probably will not have this week as well. Detroit. I

0:22:56.960 --> 0:23:00.159
<v Speaker 1>don't see the big deficit coming against Detroit's possible, but

0:23:00.200 --> 0:23:01.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't see it coming here. So we're gonna keep

0:23:01.760 --> 0:23:04.359
<v Speaker 1>j D. McKissick on the bench and wait for an

0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:06.600
<v Speaker 1>opportunity for the Commanders to get blown out. And you

0:23:06.640 --> 0:23:08.480
<v Speaker 1>love putting mc kissick on the bench. It gives you

0:23:08.480 --> 0:23:11.320
<v Speaker 1>great jolie. I do for some for some reason, I do.

0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:16.199
<v Speaker 1>I admitted j D mc suck it. Let's go to Washington,

0:23:16.480 --> 0:23:18.840
<v Speaker 1>where Terry McLaurin gets a B grade and mains a

0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:21.960
<v Speaker 1>terrific option for Wentz and operating on the outside, He's

0:23:21.960 --> 0:23:24.640
<v Speaker 1>got a very favorable match up against Jeff Foukuda anytime

0:23:24.640 --> 0:23:26.600
<v Speaker 1>he lines up on the right side of the field.

0:23:27.000 --> 0:23:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Kudas trying to salvage his young career after a variety

0:23:29.200 --> 0:23:33.399
<v Speaker 1>of injuries have really unfortunately put his career in peril.

0:23:33.720 --> 0:23:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Last week, a Kuda allowed four of five targets in

0:23:36.280 --> 0:23:39.440
<v Speaker 1>his coverage to be completed. I like Terry McLaurin. Curtis

0:23:39.440 --> 0:23:42.119
<v Speaker 1>Samuel came out of the gates with a really strong

0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:44.159
<v Speaker 1>game early in the first half. They didn't go back

0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:45.520
<v Speaker 1>to him as much as they thought they should, and

0:23:45.520 --> 0:23:47.560
<v Speaker 1>I thought he looked great. Um he looked like his

0:23:47.640 --> 0:23:51.120
<v Speaker 1>slippery twenty version when Curtis Samuel was a very viable

0:23:51.160 --> 0:23:53.879
<v Speaker 1>fantasy producer. He'll go up in the slide against Mike

0:23:53.920 --> 0:23:57.040
<v Speaker 1>Hughes now in his third team in three years. Hughes

0:23:57.080 --> 0:23:59.000
<v Speaker 1>was only targeted one time last week, but he did

0:23:59.040 --> 0:24:01.439
<v Speaker 1>allow that catch and then he allowed twenty five yards

0:24:01.520 --> 0:24:05.159
<v Speaker 1>after that catch. So we'll try Curtis Samuel here with

0:24:05.240 --> 0:24:09.480
<v Speaker 1>a C grade as well, and Logan Thomas six targets

0:24:09.480 --> 0:24:12.240
<v Speaker 1>in his first game back from a C l Great

0:24:12.240 --> 0:24:14.679
<v Speaker 1>news for him and as savvy waiver wire pick up

0:24:14.720 --> 0:24:17.400
<v Speaker 1>for anybody struggling at tight end. By the way, last

0:24:17.480 --> 0:24:19.639
<v Speaker 1>year the Lions gave up the second most yards to

0:24:19.760 --> 0:24:22.880
<v Speaker 1>tight ends and then probably gave up sixty yards to Dallas.

0:24:22.960 --> 0:24:26.119
<v Speaker 1>God heard last week. I like Logan Thomas here, C

0:24:26.400 --> 0:24:29.280
<v Speaker 1>grade on him, and that leaves us with Carson Wentz

0:24:29.440 --> 0:24:32.840
<v Speaker 1>if I like his receivers. McLaurin, Samuel Thomas, all starting

0:24:32.880 --> 0:24:34.960
<v Speaker 1>grades there I've got a B grade on him. He

0:24:35.040 --> 0:24:38.360
<v Speaker 1>flung at forty one times last week, and even though

0:24:38.400 --> 0:24:41.360
<v Speaker 1>there were some mistakes, he had two pretty ugly interceptions.

0:24:41.400 --> 0:24:44.640
<v Speaker 1>The Commander's passing attack looked pretty refreshed this year, so

0:24:45.400 --> 0:24:47.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm giving him a B grade. For Carson Wentz and

0:24:47.520 --> 0:24:49.919
<v Speaker 1>let's go over to the Lions side on this Beginning

0:24:49.920 --> 0:24:52.520
<v Speaker 1>with the running game, you're gonna have to monitor DeAndre Swift.

0:24:52.560 --> 0:24:54.800
<v Speaker 1>He's got an ankle injury. He swears he's gonna play,

0:24:54.840 --> 0:24:58.880
<v Speaker 1>But running backs and ankle injuries, no bueno. You need

0:24:58.920 --> 0:25:01.080
<v Speaker 1>to be careful here. Cut is a huge part of

0:25:01.119 --> 0:25:05.040
<v Speaker 1>his game. Got great example, Um Barkley at the high

0:25:05.040 --> 0:25:06.800
<v Speaker 1>ankle sprain. We can just you know, we can. We

0:25:06.800 --> 0:25:09.359
<v Speaker 1>don't have any reasonably that's the case for Swift, who

0:25:09.440 --> 0:25:12.040
<v Speaker 1>probably would not be playing. But show a little bit

0:25:12.040 --> 0:25:13.760
<v Speaker 1>more caution here, and I've downgraded him to a B

0:25:13.880 --> 0:25:17.080
<v Speaker 1>grade despite the phenomenal game he had last week, posting

0:25:17.080 --> 0:25:20.840
<v Speaker 1>a hundred forty four rushing yards um had by the

0:25:20.840 --> 0:25:24.399
<v Speaker 1>way five yards of ten or more. Washington allowed five

0:25:24.480 --> 0:25:28.040
<v Speaker 1>point four yards per carry between the tackles last week,

0:25:28.280 --> 0:25:31.199
<v Speaker 1>and they babe maybe without defensive lineman Jonathan Allen and

0:25:31.920 --> 0:25:36.159
<v Speaker 1>Fedarian mathis due to injury. So we're gonna keep a

0:25:36.160 --> 0:25:39.159
<v Speaker 1>B grade on DeAndre Swift and we're gonna keep watching

0:25:39.160 --> 0:25:44.200
<v Speaker 1>this goal line situation because last week Jamal Williams turned

0:25:44.200 --> 0:25:47.920
<v Speaker 1>two goal line carries into two touchdowns. Now, if you're

0:25:47.920 --> 0:25:50.080
<v Speaker 1>the coaching staff of the lines, you're going, well, he

0:25:50.160 --> 0:25:53.600
<v Speaker 1>converted those carries to touchdowns. We're gonna keep doing this,

0:25:53.880 --> 0:25:57.280
<v Speaker 1>and with Swift gimpy, Williams could see an upticking usage

0:25:57.280 --> 0:26:00.119
<v Speaker 1>and will probably continue to get goal line use. So

0:26:00.160 --> 0:26:02.399
<v Speaker 1>we'll have a C grade on Jamal Williams in this

0:26:02.480 --> 0:26:04.480
<v Speaker 1>grade A game, and we'll upgrade him to a B

0:26:04.560 --> 0:26:07.160
<v Speaker 1>if it turns out that DeAndre Swift does not go.

0:26:07.920 --> 0:26:09.639
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the receivers for the Lions. I'm on

0:26:09.920 --> 0:26:13.080
<v Speaker 1>raw St Brown saw career high twelve targets last week,

0:26:13.080 --> 0:26:15.840
<v Speaker 1>which pretty much vaporized the narrative that he got all

0:26:15.880 --> 0:26:18.760
<v Speaker 1>those targets last year because everybody else was hurt. Um

0:26:18.920 --> 0:26:21.680
<v Speaker 1>Washington's defense allowed an average depth of target of eight

0:26:21.680 --> 0:26:25.960
<v Speaker 1>point six yards per reception last season. That was third most.

0:26:26.560 --> 0:26:29.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm on ras St Brown will face Ben st Juice

0:26:29.880 --> 0:26:33.840
<v Speaker 1>in the slot. Well, he kind of is he ranks

0:26:33.880 --> 0:26:38.040
<v Speaker 1>his cornerback by Pro Football Focus through one week, so

0:26:38.400 --> 0:26:40.760
<v Speaker 1>strong advantage to I'm on ros st Brown with an

0:26:40.800 --> 0:26:44.560
<v Speaker 1>A grade. DJ Chark saw whopping eight targets and looks

0:26:44.600 --> 0:26:48.040
<v Speaker 1>like a legit deep ball threat. Last week, the Commanders

0:26:48.080 --> 0:26:50.119
<v Speaker 1>gave Robby Anderson and d J. Moore and average of

0:26:50.119 --> 0:26:54.160
<v Speaker 1>almost eight yards of Cookshion, second worst of any receiver tandem.

0:26:54.440 --> 0:26:57.200
<v Speaker 1>Big play possibilities here for DJ Chark with a B

0:26:57.480 --> 0:26:59.639
<v Speaker 1>grade in this game, and if I like it, I've

0:26:59.640 --> 0:27:02.320
<v Speaker 1>had a B grades on the receivers, I gotta put

0:27:02.320 --> 0:27:05.400
<v Speaker 1>a B great on. Jared Goff played a solid game

0:27:05.480 --> 0:27:08.720
<v Speaker 1>last week, almost rallied his team to a massive come

0:27:08.760 --> 0:27:11.119
<v Speaker 1>from behind win and put up plenty of points in

0:27:11.160 --> 0:27:13.320
<v Speaker 1>that game. And I like his receivers, so I like

0:27:13.440 --> 0:27:16.800
<v Speaker 1>golf as well. T J. Hockenson ce grade. He's seen

0:27:16.880 --> 0:27:19.560
<v Speaker 1>seven or more targets in nine of his last thirteen

0:27:19.640 --> 0:27:23.080
<v Speaker 1>healthy games, and he's averaged over sixty yards per game

0:27:23.160 --> 0:27:26.000
<v Speaker 1>when he gets that kind of volume. Hopefully that holds here.

0:27:26.400 --> 0:27:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Washington gives up seven targets per game to tight ends

0:27:29.320 --> 0:27:32.360
<v Speaker 1>and did last year eighth most yards as well, so

0:27:32.520 --> 0:27:35.520
<v Speaker 1>the opportunity should be there for Hockinson. Just need to

0:27:35.520 --> 0:27:38.359
<v Speaker 1>see more overall productivity before we put a stronger grade

0:27:38.359 --> 0:27:41.159
<v Speaker 1>than a se Alright, our next matchup, in final matchup

0:27:41.160 --> 0:27:45.480
<v Speaker 1>of this segment, Jets taking on the Browns Scott for

0:27:45.560 --> 0:27:50.880
<v Speaker 1>New York. They threw the ball fifty nine times last week. Yeah,

0:27:50.920 --> 0:27:54.560
<v Speaker 1>that's that's not gonna happen. Not that should not ever happen. No, No,

0:27:54.720 --> 0:27:57.159
<v Speaker 1>Flecko hasn't thrown it more than forty four times in

0:27:57.240 --> 0:28:01.240
<v Speaker 1>like four years. That's that's not gonna happen. I do

0:28:01.320 --> 0:28:03.359
<v Speaker 1>think this is gonna be a high volume passing offense

0:28:03.440 --> 0:28:05.320
<v Speaker 1>this year. I think they'll have negative game scripts a lot.

0:28:05.400 --> 0:28:08.600
<v Speaker 1>No that that will be a thing. But no, the

0:28:08.640 --> 0:28:11.760
<v Speaker 1>Browns allowed thirty three attempts per game to quarterbacks last year,

0:28:11.840 --> 0:28:14.600
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven in the opener to Mayfield. I think you're

0:28:14.640 --> 0:28:17.560
<v Speaker 1>looking more at that, and that goes for the wide receivers.

0:28:17.560 --> 0:28:20.040
<v Speaker 1>When you look at those guys, Corey Davis and Garrett

0:28:20.040 --> 0:28:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Wilson what they did in week one. Don't live off

0:28:22.800 --> 0:28:26.200
<v Speaker 1>week one stats because you're getting twenty extra pass attempts

0:28:26.200 --> 0:28:29.040
<v Speaker 1>that you're not gonna see most weeks fifteen to twenty.

0:28:29.520 --> 0:28:32.160
<v Speaker 1>I actually do have Davis and Wilson on the bench

0:28:32.160 --> 0:28:35.800
<v Speaker 1>in this one. UM, I need to see it more

0:28:35.880 --> 0:28:38.040
<v Speaker 1>out of them and see their role with Flacco when

0:28:38.080 --> 0:28:40.920
<v Speaker 1>Flacco is not spreading. That's the other problem, when Flacco

0:28:41.000 --> 0:28:45.040
<v Speaker 1>is not spreading around seven different players tallied seven or

0:28:45.080 --> 0:28:48.920
<v Speaker 1>more targets. Uh. The only guy I truly truly trust

0:28:49.000 --> 0:28:51.960
<v Speaker 1>in this which is a a really good match up,

0:28:52.000 --> 0:28:54.680
<v Speaker 1>a really tough matchup against the Brown's team that was

0:28:54.720 --> 0:28:56.800
<v Speaker 1>top ten in a lot of categories last year. They

0:28:56.800 --> 0:29:00.400
<v Speaker 1>only allowed sixteen wide receiver touchdowns over seven in teen

0:29:00.440 --> 0:29:04.880
<v Speaker 1>weeks last year, they and and even last even last week,

0:29:05.160 --> 0:29:07.960
<v Speaker 1>the one touchdown they allowed was a seventy five yard

0:29:08.080 --> 0:29:12.800
<v Speaker 1>broken coverage play, right, Uh so they did not allow

0:29:12.840 --> 0:29:16.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot I do. I'm giving Elijah Moore the C

0:29:16.400 --> 0:29:18.720
<v Speaker 1>grade though he's gonna line up on the opposite side

0:29:18.760 --> 0:29:21.200
<v Speaker 1>of Denzel Award for most of the game against rookie

0:29:21.200 --> 0:29:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Martin Anderson. If he does that, he gets a C grade.

0:29:24.960 --> 0:29:27.920
<v Speaker 1>You can you know a factor in the ward blew

0:29:28.440 --> 0:29:31.240
<v Speaker 1>a fifty yard played Ian Thomas last week. He did

0:29:31.240 --> 0:29:33.440
<v Speaker 1>blow a coverage last week. He's not the Denzel Award

0:29:33.480 --> 0:29:36.440
<v Speaker 1>of three years ago. But uh, I have a C

0:29:36.600 --> 0:29:39.640
<v Speaker 1>grade on more bench grades on Davison Wilson, bench grade

0:29:39.640 --> 0:29:43.920
<v Speaker 1>on Flacco, bench grade on Tyler Cochlin. His his results

0:29:44.000 --> 0:29:48.280
<v Speaker 1>last week were very very uh, you know, volume based.

0:29:48.320 --> 0:29:51.760
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna need a touchdown to score in the running game.

0:29:51.840 --> 0:29:55.000
<v Speaker 1>This is where it gets. It gets tricky sometimes with

0:29:55.080 --> 0:29:57.000
<v Speaker 1>these two. This year, it's gonna be tricky all year.

0:29:57.040 --> 0:29:59.280
<v Speaker 1>I think we're looking at the next Jones, Dillon Gordon

0:29:59.360 --> 0:30:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Javonte type of situation here with Carter and Bruce Hall.

0:30:03.960 --> 0:30:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Carter was the starter and the main back, and they

0:30:06.120 --> 0:30:10.160
<v Speaker 1>said that going going in. Uh, they're both they both

0:30:10.160 --> 0:30:12.240
<v Speaker 1>seem like they're going to be start worthy in spots

0:30:12.320 --> 0:30:16.160
<v Speaker 1>this week. Nineteen of theft Flacco targets went to running backs,

0:30:16.160 --> 0:30:20.440
<v Speaker 1>which is really nice to see, but Carter was clearly

0:30:20.520 --> 0:30:25.360
<v Speaker 1>the one a higher snaps, better usage. Hall saw the

0:30:25.400 --> 0:30:28.880
<v Speaker 1>only running back touch inside the ten. Uh, he saw

0:30:28.920 --> 0:30:32.040
<v Speaker 1>the two minute work um against the Browns team that

0:30:32.120 --> 0:30:35.160
<v Speaker 1>held McCaffrey in check. Though Carter is only gonna get

0:30:35.160 --> 0:30:37.080
<v Speaker 1>a C grade for me, and because Hall is the

0:30:37.160 --> 0:30:40.720
<v Speaker 1>one b and only had twelve twelve touches in a

0:30:40.800 --> 0:30:44.360
<v Speaker 1>game where they ran eighty four offensive plays. Just you know,

0:30:44.440 --> 0:30:47.240
<v Speaker 1>they average sixty nine plays a game. Last year, he

0:30:47.280 --> 0:30:49.400
<v Speaker 1>only got twelve touches last week, I have him on

0:30:49.440 --> 0:30:52.280
<v Speaker 1>the bench. Over on the other side, you're not starting,

0:30:52.360 --> 0:30:56.560
<v Speaker 1>Jacoby per said. He was fairly he looked, he looked

0:30:56.680 --> 0:31:00.200
<v Speaker 1>absolutely terrible. Jets. Jets are a great matchup. You know,

0:31:00.240 --> 0:31:04.840
<v Speaker 1>their bottom twelve allowing the more yards and than than

0:31:05.040 --> 0:31:07.560
<v Speaker 1>most of the teams in the league. But he should

0:31:07.600 --> 0:31:11.360
<v Speaker 1>be on the bench. Uh, People's Jones and Cooper I

0:31:11.360 --> 0:31:13.360
<v Speaker 1>have C grades on them. I think they're the only

0:31:13.520 --> 0:31:17.160
<v Speaker 1>really two startable wide receivers on this team and barely Uh.

0:31:17.320 --> 0:31:20.480
<v Speaker 1>People's Jones leave the team and routes, run targets yards,

0:31:20.520 --> 0:31:23.400
<v Speaker 1>all while being shadowed by Donte Johnson. If you remember

0:31:23.440 --> 0:31:26.520
<v Speaker 1>back to last year we talked about this teams CB

0:31:26.680 --> 0:31:30.600
<v Speaker 1>ones were shadowing and covering Donovan People's Jones over Landry

0:31:30.720 --> 0:31:33.360
<v Speaker 1>like he was the one. And this year they're doing

0:31:33.400 --> 0:31:36.880
<v Speaker 1>it again with Cooper. Uh they're they're they're on People's

0:31:36.920 --> 0:31:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Jones as if he's the one. Uh So, Cooper, I'm

0:31:39.880 --> 0:31:42.080
<v Speaker 1>giving the C grade. He was second most targeted, didn't

0:31:42.080 --> 0:31:44.480
<v Speaker 1>do a lot, but he might see the second dB

0:31:44.720 --> 0:31:47.640
<v Speaker 1>in this People's Jones seems to have a vibe with

0:31:47.680 --> 0:31:49.520
<v Speaker 1>pre sent and he's getting the volume. I do have

0:31:49.520 --> 0:31:51.400
<v Speaker 1>a C grade there in a in a game in

0:31:51.480 --> 0:31:55.400
<v Speaker 1>a decent matchup for wide receivers against the Jets, najok

0:31:55.400 --> 0:31:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Wu I have on the bench. The Jets allowed of

0:31:58.000 --> 0:32:01.400
<v Speaker 1>five for fifty two days Andrews, which is okay. Joker's

0:32:01.480 --> 0:32:05.200
<v Speaker 1>day was terrible and Brissette cannot support three different pass catchers.

0:32:05.560 --> 0:32:08.040
<v Speaker 1>I was hesitant even giving two Sea grades in that

0:32:08.120 --> 0:32:11.360
<v Speaker 1>receiving corps. I don't blame and for Chubb and Hunt.

0:32:11.600 --> 0:32:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt last year win together. Chub

0:32:14.400 --> 0:32:17.440
<v Speaker 1>average twenty touches per game, Hunt fifteen per games to

0:32:17.520 --> 0:32:20.600
<v Speaker 1>fan Sky giving this running backs thirty to thirty five. Wait,

0:32:20.680 --> 0:32:22.200
<v Speaker 1>this is what I said last week, and it's the

0:32:22.240 --> 0:32:26.080
<v Speaker 1>same thing this week. A grade for Chubb. Be great

0:32:26.160 --> 0:32:29.160
<v Speaker 1>for Hunt because he gets all the past game work. Yes, uh,

0:32:29.440 --> 0:32:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Kareem got the two touchdowns last week, but it could

0:32:31.560 --> 0:32:34.920
<v Speaker 1>just as easily be uh, just easily Nick Chubb this

0:32:34.960 --> 0:32:37.400
<v Speaker 1>week for sure. And a good matchup against the Jets

0:32:37.400 --> 0:32:40.560
<v Speaker 1>that were last against running backs last year. Yeah, it's

0:32:40.600 --> 0:32:42.920
<v Speaker 1>a It's a juicy matchup, no doubt about it. Love

0:32:43.000 --> 0:32:46.000
<v Speaker 1>both guys this week. You already know a gun team,

0:32:46.080 --> 0:32:50.200
<v Speaker 1>league's work, seventeen teams left start at this point, you

0:32:50.200 --> 0:32:52.360
<v Speaker 1>can start a new league with seventeen teams or seventeen

0:32:52.400 --> 0:32:55.280
<v Speaker 1>weeks left in the season. Low scoring team gets cut

0:32:55.280 --> 0:32:58.400
<v Speaker 1>every week players go to the waiver wire. It's pandemonium.

0:32:58.440 --> 0:33:01.040
<v Speaker 1>We had um in one of my leagues. Jonathan Taylor

0:33:01.240 --> 0:33:04.320
<v Speaker 1>got cut and how much how much bad do you

0:33:04.360 --> 0:33:06.920
<v Speaker 1>put on him? One guy put his entire year's budget.

0:33:07.400 --> 0:33:11.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm Jonathan Taylor. He's gonna learn his lessons the hard way.

0:33:12.040 --> 0:33:15.400
<v Speaker 1>That that is a week seven out right there, exactly exactly.

0:33:15.440 --> 0:33:18.080
<v Speaker 1>See you next year. We'll be back next segment. Fantasy

0:33:18.120 --> 0:33:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Football Weekly Coming up next, Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly.

0:33:32.640 --> 0:33:35.760
<v Speaker 1>Paul Church and Scott Fish and Brian Johnson with you.

0:33:36.080 --> 0:33:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Our next matchup is the Patriots at the Steelers. Brian,

0:33:39.280 --> 0:33:42.400
<v Speaker 1>the Patriots offense looked bad last week. We'll talk a

0:33:42.440 --> 0:33:44.280
<v Speaker 1>little bit more about this later in the show, but

0:33:44.960 --> 0:33:47.800
<v Speaker 1>your thoughts on this particular match up against the Steelers. Yeah,

0:33:47.840 --> 0:33:49.800
<v Speaker 1>this one feels all about the running game for New England.

0:33:49.840 --> 0:33:52.280
<v Speaker 1>So I'll give Damien Harris Harrison be here the law.

0:33:52.360 --> 0:33:54.600
<v Speaker 1>The season ending loss of time Montgomery bodes well for

0:33:54.680 --> 0:33:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Harris and Raumandre Stephenson, but as of right now, Harris

0:33:57.280 --> 0:34:00.280
<v Speaker 1>looks like the lead back yet again. He managed five

0:34:00.280 --> 0:34:02.400
<v Speaker 1>point three yards per carry last week, compared to the

0:34:02.400 --> 0:34:05.959
<v Speaker 1>three point one for Stevenson. Harris was also targeted twice

0:34:06.040 --> 0:34:08.520
<v Speaker 1>in the red zone, and last year Pittsburgh out these

0:34:08.560 --> 0:34:11.799
<v Speaker 1>second most rushing yards after contact per attempt. In this week,

0:34:11.840 --> 0:34:13.960
<v Speaker 1>they will be without t J. Watt upfront, so I

0:34:14.000 --> 0:34:16.120
<v Speaker 1>like Harris with the B I will still give m

0:34:16.160 --> 0:34:18.759
<v Speaker 1>Andre Stevenson a c not giving up on him just yet.

0:34:18.840 --> 0:34:21.319
<v Speaker 1>He should still see around twelve of the fifteen opportunities

0:34:21.320 --> 0:34:23.239
<v Speaker 1>in this game. And again, this feels like a game

0:34:23.280 --> 0:34:25.600
<v Speaker 1>where New England's is gonna lean heavily on their running backs.

0:34:25.880 --> 0:34:28.840
<v Speaker 1>For that reason, I have Jacoby Myers, Nelson Aghilar, DeVante

0:34:28.840 --> 0:34:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Parker and Kedrick Bourne all on the bench. Not one

0:34:32.160 --> 0:34:34.960
<v Speaker 1>single one of them scored double digit PPR points last week.

0:34:35.040 --> 0:34:38.279
<v Speaker 1>So not touching the wide receivers from New England this week,

0:34:38.600 --> 0:34:40.719
<v Speaker 1>and not touching the tight ends although they are led

0:34:40.760 --> 0:34:44.319
<v Speaker 1>by John new Smith and not Hunter Hendy, but they're

0:34:44.320 --> 0:34:46.440
<v Speaker 1>both on the bench. It's a bad matchup. The Steelers

0:34:46.440 --> 0:34:48.920
<v Speaker 1>have allowed a tight end touchdown in just three of

0:34:49.000 --> 0:34:52.399
<v Speaker 1>their last eighteen games, and I hate the pass catchers

0:34:52.440 --> 0:34:55.000
<v Speaker 1>a lot, so I clearly hate Mac Jones in this matchup.

0:34:55.000 --> 0:34:58.000
<v Speaker 1>He's on the bench as well. Over the Pittsburgh side,

0:34:58.280 --> 0:35:00.479
<v Speaker 1>Nag Harris looks like he will play with the foot

0:35:00.480 --> 0:35:02.799
<v Speaker 1>injury he's dealing with. He turned to practice in full

0:35:02.840 --> 0:35:05.560
<v Speaker 1>on Thursday, but just to see for him. Miami running

0:35:05.600 --> 0:35:08.800
<v Speaker 1>backs total just one hundred and seven combo yards against

0:35:09.120 --> 0:35:11.560
<v Speaker 1>New England last week, and we're held to under two

0:35:11.560 --> 0:35:13.840
<v Speaker 1>point five yards per carry, So just to see for

0:35:13.920 --> 0:35:16.120
<v Speaker 1>no g Harris. Jalen Warren would have been interesting in

0:35:16.200 --> 0:35:17.919
<v Speaker 1>Paris is out. He's on the bench, but a guy

0:35:18.280 --> 0:35:20.600
<v Speaker 1>I am stashing anywhere I can. I recommend you do

0:35:20.640 --> 0:35:23.560
<v Speaker 1>the same. Over to the wide receivers for the Steelers,

0:35:23.600 --> 0:35:25.960
<v Speaker 1>Deonte Johnson, and give him a b If you didn't

0:35:25.960 --> 0:35:28.120
<v Speaker 1>see the one handed sideline catch he made last week,

0:35:28.160 --> 0:35:30.600
<v Speaker 1>go ask Jeeves about that right now, because it's it's

0:35:30.600 --> 0:35:33.839
<v Speaker 1>worth a watch. Um, I'm glad you guys got that one.

0:35:33.840 --> 0:35:36.520
<v Speaker 1>We're old enough to know to Jeeves is a lot

0:35:36.560 --> 0:35:39.759
<v Speaker 1>of people probably don't anyways. Johnson resumed his hogging of

0:35:39.760 --> 0:35:42.080
<v Speaker 1>targets in Week one, as his twelve targets are more

0:35:42.120 --> 0:35:45.480
<v Speaker 1>than every other Pittsburgh wide receiver combined. So I love

0:35:45.520 --> 0:35:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Deonte and Listene with a B. I kind of like

0:35:48.360 --> 0:35:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Chase Claypool, so I'll give him a CEE. He was

0:35:50.600 --> 0:35:53.440
<v Speaker 1>second among Pittsburgh wide receivers with six targets, but we

0:35:53.520 --> 0:35:56.160
<v Speaker 1>only turned them into four catches for eighteen scoreless yards.

0:35:56.480 --> 0:35:58.800
<v Speaker 1>But he had six carries he go him out of

0:35:58.840 --> 0:36:02.400
<v Speaker 1>carries the yards for thirty six yards, so very interesting usage.

0:36:02.400 --> 0:36:05.279
<v Speaker 1>And he played almost entirely from the slot, which means

0:36:05.280 --> 0:36:07.360
<v Speaker 1>he's likely to see a lot of New England slot

0:36:07.400 --> 0:36:11.200
<v Speaker 1>corner Miles Bryant, who checks in it five ft nine

0:36:10.960 --> 0:36:15.200
<v Speaker 1>and so a little bit of a mismatch for Briant

0:36:15.280 --> 0:36:18.920
<v Speaker 1>up against Claypool. Claypole should exploit that matchup George Pickens

0:36:19.200 --> 0:36:23.200
<v Speaker 1>the Priests. Darling won one catch for three yards on

0:36:23.239 --> 0:36:25.239
<v Speaker 1>three targets. He's on the bench right now until he

0:36:25.719 --> 0:36:28.879
<v Speaker 1>proves he can produce in the regular season and Pat

0:36:28.920 --> 0:36:30.960
<v Speaker 1>fire Mouth close to the bench, but I'm gonna give

0:36:31.040 --> 0:36:33.480
<v Speaker 1>him a CEE. He led Pittsburgh in receiving yards and

0:36:33.520 --> 0:36:35.839
<v Speaker 1>was second on the team with ten targets last week,

0:36:36.040 --> 0:36:38.280
<v Speaker 1>but a tough match up here last year, New England

0:36:38.400 --> 0:36:41.239
<v Speaker 1>allowed the fewest receptions and yards to tight ends, just

0:36:41.320 --> 0:36:43.759
<v Speaker 1>two point seven catches and twenty six yards per game.

0:36:44.080 --> 0:36:49.120
<v Speaker 1>That trend continued in Yeah and Hunter Long. Neither the

0:36:49.200 --> 0:36:51.959
<v Speaker 1>Miami tight ends combined for two catches or fifteen yards

0:36:52.000 --> 0:36:54.880
<v Speaker 1>against New England last week. So just a very soft

0:36:54.920 --> 0:36:57.799
<v Speaker 1>sea for Fry Muthin. Mitch Drubiskie was almost might take

0:36:57.800 --> 0:37:00.279
<v Speaker 1>a chance of the quarterback, but not yet this he's

0:37:00.320 --> 0:37:03.760
<v Speaker 1>on the bench. Cant to it. Dolphins take on the Ravens. Obviously,

0:37:03.880 --> 0:37:06.239
<v Speaker 1>grades for Tyreek Kill and Jalen Waddle was strong Week

0:37:06.239 --> 0:37:09.360
<v Speaker 1>one performances, and that brings us to to a tonguo Violoa.

0:37:09.840 --> 0:37:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I loved the start of the year for him getting

0:37:12.120 --> 0:37:14.160
<v Speaker 1>the ball to his playmakers Hill and Waddle. That's all

0:37:14.160 --> 0:37:16.960
<v Speaker 1>he's gotta do. He goes up against the Ravens last

0:37:17.040 --> 0:37:19.960
<v Speaker 1>year one of only five teams to allow more than

0:37:20.120 --> 0:37:24.560
<v Speaker 1>thirty passing touchdowns, and to address that issue, Baltimore signed

0:37:24.600 --> 0:37:27.680
<v Speaker 1>cornerback Kyle Fuller in the off season. Andy promptly tours

0:37:27.719 --> 0:37:32.160
<v Speaker 1>a c L. So now they're getting Marcus Peters possibly

0:37:32.239 --> 0:37:34.319
<v Speaker 1>back for this game, but if he starts, it's gonna

0:37:34.320 --> 0:37:36.360
<v Speaker 1>be his first game since the end of the twenty

0:37:36.480 --> 0:37:40.520
<v Speaker 1>twenty season, and the other corner back, Marlin Humphrey's got

0:37:40.520 --> 0:37:44.280
<v Speaker 1>a groin injury. It's all good for the Miami passing game.

0:37:44.440 --> 0:37:47.239
<v Speaker 1>I've got a B grade onto a Toungo Violoa and

0:37:47.280 --> 0:37:50.080
<v Speaker 1>a B grade on Chase Edmonds. I know the matchup

0:37:50.200 --> 0:37:53.000
<v Speaker 1>against Baltimore doesn't field grand and paper, but the Jets

0:37:53.040 --> 0:37:56.359
<v Speaker 1>backs just ripped the Ravens for a hundred sixty one

0:37:56.400 --> 0:37:59.680
<v Speaker 1>total yards and the Ravens ranked thirty and run defense

0:37:59.719 --> 0:38:03.360
<v Speaker 1>by Old Football Focus through one week. Edmonds saw sixty

0:38:04.239 --> 0:38:07.160
<v Speaker 1>of the running back snaps for Miami last week. He

0:38:07.200 --> 0:38:09.239
<v Speaker 1>barely managed two yards per carry on the ground, which

0:38:09.280 --> 0:38:11.560
<v Speaker 1>was not good and so the efficiency was not there,

0:38:11.600 --> 0:38:15.080
<v Speaker 1>but the opportunity to get better definitely is and he

0:38:15.120 --> 0:38:17.520
<v Speaker 1>could catch the ball fair amount. Ravens just allowed the

0:38:17.600 --> 0:38:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Jets backs to catch thirteen passes on nineteen targets in

0:38:22.080 --> 0:38:24.640
<v Speaker 1>that game. So I like Chase Edmonds as a dual

0:38:24.680 --> 0:38:27.359
<v Speaker 1>threat and to be grade over to Baltimore side Mark

0:38:27.400 --> 0:38:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Andrews obvious a let's go to the other receivers. Rashad Bateman.

0:38:31.440 --> 0:38:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Great to see the fifty five yard touchdown, but other

0:38:35.080 --> 0:38:37.839
<v Speaker 1>than that catch, Bateman had one catch for four yards.

0:38:37.880 --> 0:38:41.400
<v Speaker 1>That's it. Volume figures to be an ongoing worry for

0:38:41.440 --> 0:38:45.480
<v Speaker 1>the Ravens receivers and a run heavy offense. Bateman likely

0:38:45.600 --> 0:38:49.200
<v Speaker 1>draws the dolphins best coverage corner Xavian Howard, who travels

0:38:49.200 --> 0:38:51.520
<v Speaker 1>with number one. Howard is not allowed to touch down

0:38:51.600 --> 0:38:53.319
<v Speaker 1>is coverage since Week eight of last year. I've got

0:38:53.360 --> 0:38:56.800
<v Speaker 1>just a C grade on Rashad Bateman. Devin DuVernay scored

0:38:56.800 --> 0:38:59.960
<v Speaker 1>twice last week, emerges a waiver wire darling this week.

0:39:00.600 --> 0:39:04.799
<v Speaker 1>With Xavian Howard on Bateman, that puts Nick excuse me, Nick,

0:39:04.960 --> 0:39:08.280
<v Speaker 1>need him on DuVernay and that is a positive matchup.

0:39:08.360 --> 0:39:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Need Him is a middling coverage corner who ranked his

0:39:11.040 --> 0:39:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Pro Football Focuses forty four best cornerback last year. So

0:39:15.560 --> 0:39:17.520
<v Speaker 1>I like Devin Duvernet enough to get him a C

0:39:17.800 --> 0:39:21.120
<v Speaker 1>grade on this one. And uh for Lamar Jackson, if

0:39:21.120 --> 0:39:23.520
<v Speaker 1>you can blend in the Mark Andrews a couple of

0:39:23.520 --> 0:39:27.040
<v Speaker 1>season his receivers, I've got to be on Jackson. Dolphins

0:39:27.120 --> 0:39:29.880
<v Speaker 1>held Mac Jones in check last week, but Lamar Jackson

0:39:29.880 --> 0:39:33.040
<v Speaker 1>obviously totally different beast um. That's it. Miami has got

0:39:33.080 --> 0:39:35.880
<v Speaker 1>a pretty solid past defense top six and passing touchdowns

0:39:35.880 --> 0:39:39.239
<v Speaker 1>allowed last year. They blanked the Patriots last week. Um

0:39:39.360 --> 0:39:43.319
<v Speaker 1>Jackson faced the Dolphins last year. Two passing yards in

0:39:43.320 --> 0:39:45.520
<v Speaker 1>one touchdown and he only ran for thirty nine yards.

0:39:45.640 --> 0:39:47.719
<v Speaker 1>That wasn't great, It's just okay. So that's the B

0:39:47.840 --> 0:39:51.799
<v Speaker 1>grade on Lamar Jackson. And for the running backs, I

0:39:51.800 --> 0:39:54.720
<v Speaker 1>got them all on the bench. J K Dobbins expected

0:39:54.760 --> 0:39:59.160
<v Speaker 1>to make his first appearance in over a year, but

0:39:59.280 --> 0:40:01.520
<v Speaker 1>I got a figure. He gets the modest workload in

0:40:01.560 --> 0:40:03.600
<v Speaker 1>his first game back off the a c L. Six

0:40:03.640 --> 0:40:06.960
<v Speaker 1>touches guys, eight touches for j K. Dobbins. This is

0:40:07.239 --> 0:40:11.719
<v Speaker 1>his pro debut. If I'm not mistaken right Dobbins, j

0:40:11.920 --> 0:40:15.040
<v Speaker 1>K Dobbins did we get injured in preseason last year,

0:40:15.360 --> 0:40:21.719
<v Speaker 1>but the far back in time, that's okay. Miami's rundefensil good.

0:40:21.719 --> 0:40:24.239
<v Speaker 1>In Week one. They held Damien Harris to forty eight

0:40:24.280 --> 0:40:27.120
<v Speaker 1>yards and Romandre Stevenson to five. So I don't I

0:40:27.160 --> 0:40:29.000
<v Speaker 1>don't like Dobbins and all the other runners look terrible

0:40:29.080 --> 0:40:31.719
<v Speaker 1>last week, so they're all they are all out. Let's

0:40:31.719 --> 0:40:34.279
<v Speaker 1>go to our final matchup of this segment, Panthers taking

0:40:34.320 --> 0:40:36.840
<v Speaker 1>on the Giant Scott. Yeah, so I have an obvious

0:40:36.920 --> 0:40:39.480
<v Speaker 1>eight grade on Christie McCaffrey. You might say, why is

0:40:39.480 --> 0:40:41.920
<v Speaker 1>it obvious? He wasn't that great last week. He had

0:40:41.960 --> 0:40:45.160
<v Speaker 1>to be saved by a touchdown with literally eight seconds

0:40:45.239 --> 0:40:49.000
<v Speaker 1>left in the fourth quarter. Uh, but it was one

0:40:49.040 --> 0:40:51.719
<v Speaker 1>of the tougher RB matchups of the weekend and McCaffrey

0:40:52.120 --> 0:40:57.279
<v Speaker 1>still scored. Still got it. Uh, it was this week.

0:40:57.320 --> 0:40:59.160
<v Speaker 1>You can look for him to get a combination of

0:40:59.160 --> 0:41:02.600
<v Speaker 1>what Derrick, Henry and Hillier did against the Giants. Hilliard

0:41:02.640 --> 0:41:06.680
<v Speaker 1>destroyed them through the past game. He had, uh, you

0:41:06.719 --> 0:41:09.399
<v Speaker 1>know Henriette a decent amount of rushing yards. I think

0:41:09.400 --> 0:41:11.880
<v Speaker 1>that this is a fifty plus rushing fifty plus receiving

0:41:11.960 --> 0:41:16.320
<v Speaker 1>game for McCaffrey at minimum. Probably some scores a grade

0:41:16.400 --> 0:41:19.200
<v Speaker 1>on McCaffrey in the passing game. I only have one

0:41:19.200 --> 0:41:23.319
<v Speaker 1>starting game grade here. Baker mayfields on the bench. If

0:41:23.360 --> 0:41:26.000
<v Speaker 1>it weren't for those two blown coverages we we talked about,

0:41:26.120 --> 0:41:27.720
<v Speaker 1>his day would have been a hundred and ten yards

0:41:27.719 --> 0:41:31.000
<v Speaker 1>and no touchdowns an interception. He barely threw a fifty

0:41:31.040 --> 0:41:34.880
<v Speaker 1>pc completion rate. Robby Anderson hundred yards hundred two yards

0:41:34.880 --> 0:41:37.880
<v Speaker 1>seventy five on the blown play. He topped fifty yards

0:41:37.880 --> 0:41:40.560
<v Speaker 1>three times last year. D J. Moore is where I'm

0:41:40.560 --> 0:41:42.560
<v Speaker 1>giving the C grade. I still trust him. I'm still

0:41:42.600 --> 0:41:45.759
<v Speaker 1>gonna believe in even though week one was lackluster. He'll

0:41:45.800 --> 0:41:48.560
<v Speaker 1>get a Dory Jackson shadow treatment who took Robert Wood's

0:41:48.560 --> 0:41:51.440
<v Speaker 1>out last week. But he should get the volume in

0:41:51.480 --> 0:41:54.480
<v Speaker 1>this one to find enough opportunity to get a C grade.

0:41:55.040 --> 0:41:58.719
<v Speaker 1>On the other side, the only grade I have is

0:41:59.040 --> 0:42:02.080
<v Speaker 1>say Kwon Barkley with eight grade. He's back to match

0:42:02.120 --> 0:42:04.239
<v Speaker 1>up proof life he had a couple of years ago.

0:42:04.239 --> 0:42:06.640
<v Speaker 1>He had twenty four touches, but a big deal with

0:42:06.680 --> 0:42:09.160
<v Speaker 1>six catches. He came back in the in the passing game.

0:42:09.520 --> 0:42:13.319
<v Speaker 1>The Panthers just let Kareem Hunt loose in the receiving game.

0:42:13.719 --> 0:42:16.960
<v Speaker 1>That's gonna be all Barkley in this one. Um, it's

0:42:16.960 --> 0:42:19.720
<v Speaker 1>a tougher matchup than last week was. It's a slightly

0:42:19.760 --> 0:42:22.360
<v Speaker 1>tougher match up than last week was. But Chubb and

0:42:22.440 --> 0:42:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Hunt did it, so I think Barkley ken with Daniel

0:42:25.680 --> 0:42:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Jones Sterling Shephard. Sixty five of shepherds seventy one yards

0:42:28.960 --> 0:42:32.880
<v Speaker 1>were on that blown coverage sixty five yarder you mentioned earlier. Uh,

0:42:33.120 --> 0:42:35.879
<v Speaker 1>Daniel Jones. You're not starting Daniel Jones against the top

0:42:35.920 --> 0:42:40.680
<v Speaker 1>five Panthers defense. No one. Still, that's no out of here, No,

0:42:40.880 --> 0:42:43.920
<v Speaker 1>that's ridiculous. Um, we've got about one minute left. Let

0:42:43.920 --> 0:42:45.680
<v Speaker 1>me ask you this, Well, why don't we just fire

0:42:45.760 --> 0:42:48.920
<v Speaker 1>up the peacock for me saying s Juan Barkley finishes

0:42:48.960 --> 0:42:50.799
<v Speaker 1>at the season as everyone is it too early, It's

0:42:50.800 --> 0:42:56.160
<v Speaker 1>way too early. I just jack, it's very premature peak cocking. Well,

0:42:56.400 --> 0:42:58.840
<v Speaker 1>we're willing to do that around premature pea calculation. Let

0:42:58.880 --> 0:43:01.560
<v Speaker 1>me ask this about the the Thursday night game. Patrick

0:43:01.600 --> 0:43:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Mahomes is now completed passes in both games to ten

0:43:04.320 --> 0:43:07.360
<v Speaker 1>different receivers. Do you believe that that's going to be

0:43:07.400 --> 0:43:10.440
<v Speaker 1>an ongoing tread that he's just spreads the ball around

0:43:10.440 --> 0:43:13.320
<v Speaker 1>so thinly literally sad that's what he was going to

0:43:13.440 --> 0:43:17.920
<v Speaker 1>do before the season. He also said the sky is

0:43:17.960 --> 0:43:21.640
<v Speaker 1>the limit, referring to sky will replate zero snaps. I

0:43:21.680 --> 0:43:23.400
<v Speaker 1>don't even know if he's a real person. I know

0:43:23.480 --> 0:43:25.960
<v Speaker 1>at this point, I know Scott, Well, he's playing special teams.

0:43:26.000 --> 0:43:32.200
<v Speaker 1>That's it. Justin Herbert by the way, Yeah, yeah, that's

0:43:32.239 --> 0:43:35.000
<v Speaker 1>like and you know what those that you get you

0:43:35.040 --> 0:43:38.680
<v Speaker 1>get the broken rib. That's your season. You gotta play

0:43:38.680 --> 0:43:42.920
<v Speaker 1>with that all year. He's wearing the flat jacket season. Absolutely.

0:43:43.640 --> 0:43:46.360
<v Speaker 1>When we come back to our number two Fantasy Football Weekly,

0:43:46.360 --> 0:43:48.640

0:44:02.400 --> 0:44:04.719
<v Speaker 1>it works. Each week, the bottom scoring team gets cut.

0:44:04.760 --> 0:44:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Everybody else feasts on that team's roster in the waiver wire.

<v Speaker 1>up now. Welcome back our number two Fantasy football weekly,

0:44:32.800 --> 0:44:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Paul charchy and Scott Fish and Brian Johnson with you.

<v Speaker 1>at Scott Fish four and at b t x J, respectively.

0:44:43.960 --> 0:44:47.520
<v Speaker 1>This is a game we call three tough questions. Tough

0:44:47.640 --> 0:44:51.680
<v Speaker 1>question Number one, what is the appropriate level of panic

0:44:52.480 --> 0:44:57.160
<v Speaker 1>for New England running back Ramandre Stevenson. Is it none,

0:44:58.120 --> 0:45:04.080
<v Speaker 1>some or a bowl loose sending level of existential dread Scott. Yeah,

0:45:04.120 --> 0:45:06.400
<v Speaker 1>so this is the part where I apologize to the

0:45:06.440 --> 0:45:09.800
<v Speaker 1>listeners for being so in on Romandre Stevenson and you guys.

0:45:10.960 --> 0:45:13.279
<v Speaker 1>I thought he'd get all the pass catching work time

0:45:13.280 --> 0:45:15.560
<v Speaker 1>at Coomery. I thought would be out longer he came back.

0:45:16.000 --> 0:45:18.759
<v Speaker 1>But the bad thing is I went to Canton for

0:45:18.800 --> 0:45:21.560
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy Football Exco Expo, went back and forth from the

0:45:21.600 --> 0:45:25.319
<v Speaker 1>airport with a Patriots guy that knows people there, and

0:45:25.400 --> 0:45:28.200
<v Speaker 1>he said, the offense is going to be anemic. They

0:45:28.320 --> 0:45:31.080
<v Speaker 1>changed to his zone running and an outside zone running scheme,

0:45:31.080 --> 0:45:33.120
<v Speaker 1>and they're running into the line and it is going

0:45:33.160 --> 0:45:35.680
<v Speaker 1>to be bad. A week later, I go on Christopher

0:45:35.719 --> 0:45:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Harris's show ESPN guy Patriots fan Connections with the Pats

0:45:39.760 --> 0:45:42.920
<v Speaker 1>told me the same thing. But I refused to believe

0:45:43.640 --> 0:45:47.200
<v Speaker 1>all the inside info because I'm like, no, he they're

0:45:47.200 --> 0:45:49.440
<v Speaker 1>talking to me, he's gonna be the pass catcher. I

0:45:49.520 --> 0:45:51.839
<v Speaker 1>screwed up. I did not take that in. They were

0:45:51.920 --> 0:45:55.160
<v Speaker 1>all right by week one account. They were all right

0:45:55.239 --> 0:45:57.400
<v Speaker 1>that offense is not going to move and they're going

0:45:57.440 --> 0:46:00.840
<v Speaker 1>to run, and Romandre only at thirty three percent of snaps.

0:46:01.320 --> 0:46:03.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm a little bit of I think it's blowed

0:46:03.600 --> 0:46:06.600
<v Speaker 1>here until Bill Belichick figures it out. So you're going

0:46:06.640 --> 0:46:10.799
<v Speaker 1>with bobel loosening left existential dread. I think I said

0:46:10.800 --> 0:46:13.560
<v Speaker 1>to trust Scott here and his and his insiders. The

0:46:13.560 --> 0:46:16.680
<v Speaker 1>only my New England insiders, a bunch of drunk idiots.

0:46:16.719 --> 0:46:18.920
<v Speaker 1>You do this thing. I think they're part of the

0:46:18.960 --> 0:46:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Patriots organization. They were avoiding all Patriots. So okay, I'm blowed.

0:46:23.800 --> 0:46:25.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm blowed now. I was gonna say something, but

0:46:25.719 --> 0:46:28.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm convinced unblowd. The correct answer is some on the

0:46:28.360 --> 0:46:31.960
<v Speaker 1>positive side. Time Montgomery's out and that's a big consideration here.

0:46:32.400 --> 0:46:35.279
<v Speaker 1>Stevenson figures to get more past catching work, and I

0:46:35.280 --> 0:46:37.560
<v Speaker 1>think this this offense is gonna be playing from behind

0:46:37.600 --> 0:46:40.719
<v Speaker 1>a lot. Montgomery had almost twice as many snaps as

0:46:40.760 --> 0:46:43.200
<v Speaker 1>Stevenson did last week. But now he's out of the

0:46:43.239 --> 0:46:45.960
<v Speaker 1>He's out of the picture for a week a month. Uh.

0:46:46.120 --> 0:46:49.479
<v Speaker 1>The bigger issue here, though, Patriots offense just looks bad.

0:46:49.520 --> 0:46:52.759
<v Speaker 1>They only had fifty seven plays last week, only two

0:46:53.160 --> 0:46:57.040
<v Speaker 1>seventy one yards of offense. That was fourth worst behind

0:46:57.080 --> 0:47:00.319
<v Speaker 1>offenses led by Geno Smith, Cooper Rush and a team

0:47:00.320 --> 0:47:02.360
<v Speaker 1>that played in a monsoon and not even both of

0:47:02.360 --> 0:47:04.359
<v Speaker 1>the teams that played in a month. Soon. You gotta

0:47:04.360 --> 0:47:06.840
<v Speaker 1>have faith that Bill Belichick turns it around, he figures

0:47:06.840 --> 0:47:10.080
<v Speaker 1>it out. We gotta hope that the bounceback starts this week. Right,

0:47:10.200 --> 0:47:13.360
<v Speaker 1>they play Pittsburgh a team Joe Mixon just ran through

0:47:13.960 --> 0:47:17.880
<v Speaker 1>and getting Stevenson up, getting Stevenson going. He's arguably the

0:47:18.080 --> 0:47:21.120
<v Speaker 1>most explosive playmaker they've got on the whole team. Well,

0:47:21.200 --> 0:47:23.120
<v Speaker 1>that in John neu Smith. Oh and by the way,

0:47:23.160 --> 0:47:26.839
<v Speaker 1>don't sell on the on the dip here, keep him. Yeah,

0:47:26.960 --> 0:47:29.800
<v Speaker 1>we don't like to sell talented players low. To question

0:47:29.920 --> 0:47:33.080
<v Speaker 1>number two, what is the appropriate level of panic on

0:47:33.360 --> 0:47:38.439
<v Speaker 1>Dallas wide receiver C D. Lamb? Is it none? Some

0:47:39.080 --> 0:47:42.399
<v Speaker 1>or a bowl loosening level of existential dread? We begin

0:47:42.520 --> 0:47:45.720
<v Speaker 1>this time with Brian Johnson. Oh, you gotta be blowed

0:47:45.800 --> 0:47:48.480
<v Speaker 1>on Ceedee Lamb based on his preseason a DP and

0:47:48.719 --> 0:47:50.920
<v Speaker 1>the expectations that we had for him basically as a

0:47:51.000 --> 0:47:53.800
<v Speaker 1>top five wide receiver. Um And it's not his fault,

0:47:53.840 --> 0:47:57.719
<v Speaker 1>it's it's the circumstances that now surround him. Of course,

0:47:57.800 --> 0:48:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Dak Prescott, he's gonna miss more time than Ray Jones

0:48:00.520 --> 0:48:02.839
<v Speaker 1>is hinting at it's gonna be six to eight weeks. Uh,

0:48:02.920 --> 0:48:05.640
<v Speaker 1>the offensive line kind of a wreck, and he's just

0:48:05.719 --> 0:48:09.400
<v Speaker 1>got no help at receiver other than his tight end

0:48:09.480 --> 0:48:11.879
<v Speaker 1>Dalton Schultz. I just think defenses are gonna be keyed

0:48:11.920 --> 0:48:15.399
<v Speaker 1>in on him when when that even when Dad comes back,

0:48:15.480 --> 0:48:18.280
<v Speaker 1>he's got Cooper Cooper rushed for the next six weeks.

0:48:18.280 --> 0:48:21.160
<v Speaker 1>So it's gonna be a very slow start, a very

0:48:21.200 --> 0:48:23.960
<v Speaker 1>slow middle for Ceedee Lamb. So based on where he

0:48:24.040 --> 0:48:26.879
<v Speaker 1>was going in our expectations, we had on blowed. You're

0:48:26.880 --> 0:48:30.320
<v Speaker 1>blowed al right, Scott for Ceedee Lamb, what's the appropriate

0:48:30.400 --> 0:48:34.359
<v Speaker 1>level of panic? Yeah, I'm still on the Patriots. They

0:48:34.400 --> 0:48:38.520
<v Speaker 1>only ran to two personnel groupings last week. That is ridiculous.

0:48:38.600 --> 0:48:45.160
<v Speaker 1>Two groups side tracking or we're gonna side track back

0:48:45.160 --> 0:48:49.240
<v Speaker 1>to the page. The problem is their head coach. It'smatic.

0:48:49.480 --> 0:48:53.080
<v Speaker 1>He is. He thinks that he's the hubrist is so

0:48:53.239 --> 0:48:55.920
<v Speaker 1>high with Bill Belichick, probably the best coach in the

0:48:55.960 --> 0:48:58.959
<v Speaker 1>history of the game. But he's a He is the

0:48:59.080 --> 0:49:01.600
<v Speaker 1>de facto head coach. Well, he is the head coach,

0:49:01.640 --> 0:49:06.319
<v Speaker 1>de facto general manager, offensive coordinator, and defensive coordinator. No

0:49:06.440 --> 0:49:09.000
<v Speaker 1>one person can do all these things well. And he's

0:49:09.040 --> 0:49:12.320
<v Speaker 1>trying to do it all and he can't. And it's

0:49:12.360 --> 0:49:14.880
<v Speaker 1>this The mistake he's making is thinking that he's so

0:49:14.960 --> 0:49:17.560
<v Speaker 1>much better, that he doesn't need any help around him,

0:49:17.560 --> 0:49:20.240
<v Speaker 1>and that he's so much smarter than everybody else. That's

0:49:20.280 --> 0:49:23.160
<v Speaker 1>the problem with the Patriots right now. Back to the

0:49:23.239 --> 0:49:26.320
<v Speaker 1>question at hand, the appropriate level panic on Ceedee Lamb Scott.

0:49:26.360 --> 0:49:29.600
<v Speaker 1>I have some on this. One. Last time Prescott and

0:49:29.640 --> 0:49:32.399
<v Speaker 1>missed extended time, the Cowboys still averaged about thirty six

0:49:32.440 --> 0:49:35.520
<v Speaker 1>past attempts per game, and that was with uh Dalton

0:49:35.600 --> 0:49:39.360
<v Speaker 1>and Denucci. Sounds like a seventies band or something. Dalton

0:49:39.400 --> 0:49:42.680
<v Speaker 1>and I think, I think it sounds like a post

0:49:42.840 --> 0:49:47.560
<v Speaker 1>but but the old line was light years better. Honestly,

0:49:47.600 --> 0:49:49.640
<v Speaker 1>I could bring the panic line down to blow it

0:49:49.680 --> 0:49:52.080
<v Speaker 1>on this one, but it is Ceedee Lamb. I do

0:49:52.160 --> 0:49:55.000
<v Speaker 1>like the eleven target eleven twelve targets he got with

0:49:55.080 --> 0:49:57.439
<v Speaker 1>the two catches. Yeah, and I think that's I think

0:49:57.440 --> 0:50:00.280
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna get major volume a lot of these weeks

0:50:00.320 --> 0:50:02.839
<v Speaker 1>as they fight to stay in it um. And if

0:50:02.840 --> 0:50:05.520
<v Speaker 1>it's only four to six weeks, I mean we're still

0:50:05.520 --> 0:50:08.120
<v Speaker 1>looking at maybe eight weeks to end the season of Prescott.

0:50:08.239 --> 0:50:10.319
<v Speaker 1>That that might still be the case, so I'm only

0:50:10.440 --> 0:50:13.040
<v Speaker 1>some at the moment. The major volume in Dallas is

0:50:13.080 --> 0:50:18.840
<v Speaker 1>this gonna be the booze that. The correct answer for

0:50:18.880 --> 0:50:21.600
<v Speaker 1>the appropriate level of panic on Dallas wide receiver Ceedee

0:50:21.680 --> 0:50:27.640
<v Speaker 1>Lamb is a bowel loosening level of existential. The left

0:50:27.640 --> 0:50:30.480
<v Speaker 1>tackle Tyrann Smith is out, left guard economic governess hurt.

0:50:30.480 --> 0:50:33.320
<v Speaker 1>The rush is going to get to the Dallas quarterback

0:50:33.640 --> 0:50:37.320
<v Speaker 1>whose name is Rush. I mean talk about metaphysically tipping

0:50:37.400 --> 0:50:40.239
<v Speaker 1>your hand. He is going to get destroyed back there.

0:50:40.719 --> 0:50:43.759
<v Speaker 1>And the r as you mentioned, the other receivers are

0:50:43.840 --> 0:50:47.279
<v Speaker 1>so anonymous. I watched that entire Dallas game and the

0:50:47.320 --> 0:50:49.040
<v Speaker 1>only guy I can even remember is the guy who

0:50:49.080 --> 0:50:52.399
<v Speaker 1>is ironically called Houston playing in Dallas. There's nobody else

0:50:52.440 --> 0:50:56.040
<v Speaker 1>to catch a path in Dallas. They're gonna take defenses

0:50:56.040 --> 0:50:58.680
<v Speaker 1>are gonna take away Ceedee Lamb just like Tampa did

0:50:58.800 --> 0:51:03.520
<v Speaker 1>last week and make Cooper Rush win throwing to something

0:51:03.560 --> 0:51:09.200
<v Speaker 1>called Houston playing in Dallas tough. Question number three, what

0:51:09.360 --> 0:51:13.560
<v Speaker 1>is the appropriate level of panic for Houston running back

0:51:13.680 --> 0:51:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Damian Pierce? Is it none, some or a Bobi loosening

0:51:18.480 --> 0:51:22.560
<v Speaker 1>level of existential dread Scott, This one is some they want,

0:51:22.640 --> 0:51:25.400
<v Speaker 1>they want Damian Pierce to get more involved this week,

0:51:25.520 --> 0:51:28.839
<v Speaker 1>But the problem is Burkehead appears to be soaking up

0:51:28.880 --> 0:51:31.520
<v Speaker 1>all that past game work that we kind of half

0:51:31.520 --> 0:51:34.840
<v Speaker 1>expected but really hoped against. Um, the level of panic

0:51:34.920 --> 0:51:36.520
<v Speaker 1>is really based on where you got him. If you

0:51:36.600 --> 0:51:38.839
<v Speaker 1>got him as your RB three, like almost all of us,

0:51:38.880 --> 0:51:41.040
<v Speaker 1>did you know before the last week or so of

0:51:41.120 --> 0:51:44.560
<v Speaker 1>the preseason, You're fine, You're just you're just a little frustrated.

0:51:44.880 --> 0:51:46.680
<v Speaker 1>But those people who grabb him as a r B two,

0:51:46.680 --> 0:51:49.400
<v Speaker 1>they might feel blowed, but it's really just some. It's some,

0:51:49.600 --> 0:51:52.680
<v Speaker 1>all right, Brian, What is the appropriate level of concern

0:51:53.360 --> 0:51:57.799
<v Speaker 1>for Houston running back Damian Pierce? Yeah, I'm at some too.

0:51:57.960 --> 0:52:01.399
<v Speaker 1>Last week Burkehead saw over the snaps, was only one

0:52:01.400 --> 0:52:03.680
<v Speaker 1>of three running backs with more than ten carries and

0:52:03.760 --> 0:52:07.040
<v Speaker 1>more than seven targets. But there's no way in hell

0:52:07.160 --> 0:52:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Burkehead becomes a bell cow running back this year. He's

0:52:10.120 --> 0:52:13.600
<v Speaker 1>thirty two years old. He's only top seventy rush attempts

0:52:13.600 --> 0:52:16.000
<v Speaker 1>in his season once. That was the last year and

0:52:16.000 --> 0:52:18.279
<v Speaker 1>he had a hundred twenty two yards. The averaged three

0:52:18.320 --> 0:52:21.080
<v Speaker 1>point five yards per carry. Then at some point he's

0:52:21.080 --> 0:52:23.239
<v Speaker 1>gonna break down or get hurt. I hate to say it,

0:52:23.239 --> 0:52:26.600
<v Speaker 1>but it's happened throughout his career. Um, he's never started

0:52:26.600 --> 0:52:28.680
<v Speaker 1>more than five games. I mean, look at his career

0:52:28.680 --> 0:52:31.560
<v Speaker 1>starts five zero, one, four three one. You know Damian

0:52:31.600 --> 0:52:33.719
<v Speaker 1>Pierce will be okay, don't freak out too much. Uh.

0:52:33.760 --> 0:52:36.720
<v Speaker 1>The correct answer is none. And that's not just confirmation bias,

0:52:36.760 --> 0:52:39.640
<v Speaker 1>because we loved Damian Piers all preseason and we talked

0:52:39.640 --> 0:52:42.160
<v Speaker 1>about him a million times. It's for all the reasons

0:52:42.239 --> 0:52:46.480
<v Speaker 1>you mentioned. No chance thirty two year old Rex burkehead

0:52:46.520 --> 0:52:51.000
<v Speaker 1>holds the strangle the stranglehold on that job for very long.

0:52:51.160 --> 0:52:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Damian Pierce well eclipse him. It's just a matter of when. Granted,

0:52:56.120 --> 0:52:57.799
<v Speaker 1>the timeline is longer than we thought it was gonna

0:52:57.840 --> 0:53:00.359
<v Speaker 1>be the reason it's gonna be a slowest art. It's

0:53:00.360 --> 0:53:03.359
<v Speaker 1>gonna be like it's gonna take us a little longer

0:53:03.360 --> 0:53:05.880
<v Speaker 1>than we thought it was gonna unfortunately, and I wish

0:53:05.880 --> 0:53:08.000
<v Speaker 1>it weren't that way, but the reality is it is,

0:53:08.040 --> 0:53:09.799
<v Speaker 1>and we're just gonna We're just gonna deal with that.

0:53:10.480 --> 0:53:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to our next matchup, Bengals taking on the Cowboys. Brian,

0:53:14.280 --> 0:53:17.200
<v Speaker 1>I gotta believe the Bengals. Joe Burrow is not gonna

0:53:17.280 --> 0:53:19.319
<v Speaker 1>have five turnovers in one game. Yeah, I would hope not,

0:53:19.520 --> 0:53:22.120
<v Speaker 1>or get sacked seven times like he did a last

0:53:22.120 --> 0:53:25.480
<v Speaker 1>week against UM Pittsburgh. So we'll start with Burrow. Give

0:53:25.520 --> 0:53:28.319
<v Speaker 1>him a b um. It sounds like te Higgins will

0:53:28.320 --> 0:53:30.719
<v Speaker 1>play in this game. Should clear concussion protocol that helps

0:53:30.760 --> 0:53:34.360
<v Speaker 1>burrows uh prospects this week. My main concern is this

0:53:34.480 --> 0:53:37.120
<v Speaker 1>feels like a game or the Bengals just dominate and

0:53:37.120 --> 0:53:39.839
<v Speaker 1>it aren't forced to throw a ton. So we'll run

0:53:39.880 --> 0:53:42.320
<v Speaker 1>through his receiver's real quick. Jamar Chase gets an a.

0:53:42.719 --> 0:53:44.840
<v Speaker 1>We'll likely see a lot of Trayvon Diggs in coverage.

0:53:44.880 --> 0:53:48.040
<v Speaker 1>It was a very good cornerback, but Mike Evans very comparable.

0:53:48.080 --> 0:53:50.920
<v Speaker 1>Mike Evans had a touchdown and seventy one yards against

0:53:50.960 --> 0:53:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Diggs last week. So in a for Chase, te Higgins

0:53:53.920 --> 0:53:56.040
<v Speaker 1>just mentioned him. Sounds like he'll go give him a

0:53:56.080 --> 0:53:57.719
<v Speaker 1>b here. He should see a lot of coverage from

0:53:57.719 --> 0:54:01.279
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Brown, who surrendered six received being touchdowns last year.

0:54:01.640 --> 0:54:04.279
<v Speaker 1>That is a fair amount. But Tyler Boyd, I gotta

0:54:04.280 --> 0:54:06.200
<v Speaker 1>put him on the bench. Only he saw a thirteen

0:54:06.280 --> 0:54:08.279
<v Speaker 1>percent target chair last week and that was with Tee

0:54:08.320 --> 0:54:13.040
<v Speaker 1>Higgins out for most of the game, UM Boyd will again,

0:54:13.160 --> 0:54:15.359
<v Speaker 1>this feels like a game where the Bengals aren't gonna

0:54:15.360 --> 0:54:17.200
<v Speaker 1>throw it don So Boyd not seeing a ton of

0:54:17.200 --> 0:54:19.279
<v Speaker 1>snaps last week. I don't think that he's a main

0:54:19.360 --> 0:54:21.720
<v Speaker 1>main factor in this game, so he's on the bench.

0:54:21.920 --> 0:54:24.520
<v Speaker 1>Hayden Hurst is not, though, gonna give him a See

0:54:24.680 --> 0:54:27.279
<v Speaker 1>Hearst rand fifty one pass routes last week, which is

0:54:27.320 --> 0:54:29.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot. In fact, it was the fifth most among

0:54:29.520 --> 0:54:32.440
<v Speaker 1>all players, not just tight ends, but it's it's kind

0:54:32.440 --> 0:54:34.800
<v Speaker 1>of a tough matchup on paper. Last season, only five

0:54:34.840 --> 0:54:37.279
<v Speaker 1>tight ends game to more than fifty yards fifty yards

0:54:37.280 --> 0:54:40.240
<v Speaker 1>against the Cowboys, and none reached the hundred yard marks

0:54:40.239 --> 0:54:43.280
<v Speaker 1>of just a sea For Hearst and lastly, Joe Mixon,

0:54:43.320 --> 0:54:46.120
<v Speaker 1>he gets an A despite trailing pretty much the entire

0:54:46.160 --> 0:54:49.840
<v Speaker 1>game last week against Pittsburgh, Mixing saw thirty four touches,

0:54:49.920 --> 0:54:52.680
<v Speaker 1>a career high. Granted that game went to overtime, but

0:54:52.719 --> 0:54:55.000
<v Speaker 1>I would be shocked if the Bengals trail in this game.

0:54:55.040 --> 0:54:58.319
<v Speaker 1>So game script should be in Mixon's favor here he

0:54:58.400 --> 0:55:01.600
<v Speaker 1>gets the A over to the Dallas side. Definitely no

0:55:01.760 --> 0:55:04.520
<v Speaker 1>a's here. Starting with Ezekiel Elliott just to see for

0:55:04.640 --> 0:55:08.080
<v Speaker 1>him and eleven career games that Deck has missed with injury.

0:55:08.320 --> 0:55:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Zeke average and easily three point eight yards per carry

0:55:11.120 --> 0:55:14.360
<v Speaker 1>and only scored twice in those eleven games. The Bengals

0:55:14.360 --> 0:55:16.680
<v Speaker 1>have been stout against the run for quite some time,

0:55:16.920 --> 0:55:19.719
<v Speaker 1>only allowing four running backs to top eighty yards over

0:55:19.760 --> 0:55:23.879
<v Speaker 1>their last twenty two games, So rough spot for Zeke.

0:55:24.239 --> 0:55:26.359
<v Speaker 1>I do like Tony Pollard though, while with with the

0:55:26.360 --> 0:55:28.319
<v Speaker 1>receiving angle that's why he was might take a chance

0:55:28.360 --> 0:55:31.799
<v Speaker 1>on me running back and the aforementioned Ceedee Lamb just

0:55:31.920 --> 0:55:34.879
<v Speaker 1>to see for him. It's more like cassette tape Lamb

0:55:35.080 --> 0:55:39.120
<v Speaker 1>at this point. Um he saw. I saw leven targets

0:55:39.200 --> 0:55:43.360
<v Speaker 1>last week, only caught the two. That's gross. He also

0:55:43.640 --> 0:55:46.480
<v Speaker 1>has Cooper Rush as his quarterback, now that's more gross.

0:55:46.840 --> 0:55:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Lamb will see Mike Hilton when lined up in the

0:55:48.920 --> 0:55:52.240
<v Speaker 1>slot in a combination of Eli Apple and Shadobe Ouse

0:55:52.680 --> 0:55:55.359
<v Speaker 1>on the edges. Those three corners have combined to allow

0:55:55.520 --> 0:55:58.280
<v Speaker 1>just one touchdown over their last six games played together,

0:55:58.560 --> 0:56:00.560
<v Speaker 1>and it's really just well factory I Apple out of

0:56:00.560 --> 0:56:02.799
<v Speaker 1>that because he's not very good. Anyway. Back to the

0:56:02.800 --> 0:56:05.759
<v Speaker 1>other wide receivers. It's really Noah Brown who's wide receiver too,

0:56:05.920 --> 0:56:08.040
<v Speaker 1>but he's on the bench. Despite seeing nine targets in

0:56:08.080 --> 0:56:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Week one that resulted in five catches for sixty eight yards,

0:56:11.000 --> 0:56:13.120
<v Speaker 1>I just can't give him a starting grade. I will

0:56:13.160 --> 0:56:15.960
<v Speaker 1>give Dalton Schultz a B though, despite Cooper Rush as

0:56:15.960 --> 0:56:19.000
<v Speaker 1>his quarterback. On paper, a great matchup for Schultz, who

0:56:19.080 --> 0:56:21.520
<v Speaker 1>ran the second most pass routes for Dallas in Week one.

0:56:22.000 --> 0:56:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Last season, the Bengals were top five in the most catches,

0:56:25.080 --> 0:56:28.040
<v Speaker 1>yards and touchdowns allowed to tight ends. Last week, they

0:56:28.080 --> 0:56:31.000
<v Speaker 1>surrendered five catches for seven five yards to Pat Firemouth,

0:56:31.120 --> 0:56:33.480
<v Speaker 1>who's also tackled on the one yard line almost scored

0:56:33.480 --> 0:56:35.759
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown. So I do like Schultz this week, and

0:56:35.760 --> 0:56:39.920
<v Speaker 1>I Cooper Rush. Can it get the bench gright out

0:56:39.960 --> 0:56:43.000
<v Speaker 1>of the way this week? No, but I want to

0:56:43.520 --> 0:56:45.759
<v Speaker 1>just get him out of future weeks, always on the bench,

0:56:45.760 --> 0:56:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Cooper Rush. Well, what if you play Vikings again? Fair? Fair? Yeah,

0:56:52.360 --> 0:56:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Seahawks take on the forty nine. This is gonna be

0:56:54.480 --> 0:56:56.440
<v Speaker 1>quick light rain in the forecast. Again. By the way,

0:56:56.480 --> 0:56:58.239
<v Speaker 1>let me mention that so forty nine just could go

0:56:58.280 --> 0:57:00.840
<v Speaker 1>from a monsoon to another rain game, but nothing like

0:57:00.920 --> 0:57:03.000
<v Speaker 1>last week's game. And I already mentioned my bias in

0:57:03.040 --> 0:57:05.399
<v Speaker 1>this is that Seattle just played their Super Bowl. They're

0:57:05.400 --> 0:57:07.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna hit the road here and have a huge letdown

0:57:07.160 --> 0:57:08.960
<v Speaker 1>game coming, and you'll hear that in my grades, I

0:57:08.960 --> 0:57:12.360
<v Speaker 1>believe we start with Rashad Penny, who handled every Seahawks

0:57:12.400 --> 0:57:15.120
<v Speaker 1>carry but one average five yards per carry against a

0:57:15.160 --> 0:57:18.920
<v Speaker 1>stout Denver front seven last week. He was also active

0:57:18.960 --> 0:57:20.720
<v Speaker 1>in the passing game. He saw all three of Geno

0:57:20.760 --> 0:57:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Smith's running back targets here. Uh forty nine is completely

0:57:24.160 --> 0:57:27.000
<v Speaker 1>bottled up David Montgomery in the monsoon, but Penny's a

0:57:27.000 --> 0:57:30.480
<v Speaker 1>tougher tackler average three point five yards after contact going

0:57:30.520 --> 0:57:32.920
<v Speaker 1>back to last year, the NFL's best over that stretch.

0:57:32.920 --> 0:57:34.760
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna I'm gonna give him a B grade,

0:57:34.960 --> 0:57:37.440
<v Speaker 1>and I'm barely giving a B grade a DK Metcalf

0:57:37.520 --> 0:57:39.600
<v Speaker 1>because get this, for as you know, the big body

0:57:39.640 --> 0:57:42.480
<v Speaker 1>guy that is just four point six air yards on

0:57:42.560 --> 0:57:46.200
<v Speaker 1>his targets last week, which is a criminal misuse of

0:57:46.360 --> 0:57:49.720
<v Speaker 1>Metcalf's body type and talent. Hopefully they'll air the ball

0:57:49.720 --> 0:57:52.440
<v Speaker 1>out a little bit more in this one. Metcalf is

0:57:52.480 --> 0:57:57.000
<v Speaker 1>top four receptions and sixty yards in five of six

0:57:57.080 --> 0:58:00.680
<v Speaker 1>attempts against the Niners, and he clearly is the preferred

0:58:00.720 --> 0:58:03.320
<v Speaker 1>target for Gino Smith. So I've got to be grade

0:58:03.400 --> 0:58:06.920
<v Speaker 1>on him, C grade on Tyler Lockett. All of our

0:58:06.920 --> 0:58:09.840
<v Speaker 1>fears are realized with Lockett last week. Gino Smith did

0:58:09.840 --> 0:58:11.600
<v Speaker 1>not look lock Its way at all last year when

0:58:11.600 --> 0:58:13.760
<v Speaker 1>he started. He didn't look his way at all last

0:58:13.800 --> 0:58:16.480
<v Speaker 1>week when he started either. And the short passes that

0:58:16.560 --> 0:58:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Gino Smith is throwing are the anticipthis of what Tyler

0:58:21.240 --> 0:58:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Lockett is all about. I think I may have mispronounced

0:58:23.760 --> 0:58:30.680
<v Speaker 1>that I don't. Uh. Gino Smith indisputably looked in command

0:58:30.680 --> 0:58:32.800
<v Speaker 1>of that offense last week. Loved a lot of what

0:58:32.880 --> 0:58:35.800
<v Speaker 1>we saw there, but again throwing all mostly entirely dink

0:58:35.880 --> 0:58:39.760
<v Speaker 1>and dunk under short stuff. He he scored touchdowns in

0:58:39.840 --> 0:58:42.240
<v Speaker 1>each of his four starts going back to last year,

0:58:42.280 --> 0:58:45.720
<v Speaker 1>and two touchdowns and back to back starts. Uh, last

0:58:45.760 --> 0:58:48.840
<v Speaker 1>two starts, he's throwing fifty one passes and just nine

0:58:48.840 --> 0:58:55.400
<v Speaker 1>in completions, just nine in completion. It's against So it's

0:58:55.440 --> 0:58:57.640
<v Speaker 1>all just safe work for Gino Smith, and that's enough

0:58:57.680 --> 0:58:59.560
<v Speaker 1>to give him a C grade. And that's it. Uh,

0:58:59.640 --> 0:59:02.200
<v Speaker 1>don't anything with the Seattle various tight ends because they

0:59:02.240 --> 0:59:04.480
<v Speaker 1>split it all up between Will Disley no offense and

0:59:04.560 --> 0:59:10.400
<v Speaker 1>Colby Parkinson out of nowhere last week side Deebo, Samuel

0:59:10.480 --> 0:59:13.840
<v Speaker 1>obvious a and a phenomenal matchup. Love him here and

0:59:13.880 --> 0:59:16.480
<v Speaker 1>he's probably gonna get a few extra carries with Eliza Mitchell.

0:59:16.480 --> 0:59:18.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna expend any more time on that um.

0:59:19.000 --> 0:59:21.600
<v Speaker 1>But for other members of the passing game and tray Lance,

0:59:21.640 --> 0:59:22.920
<v Speaker 1>by the way, it was might take a chance on

0:59:23.000 --> 0:59:25.960
<v Speaker 1>me quarterback that you may have heard earlier in the show,

0:59:26.200 --> 0:59:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Brandon aou with a B grade. We're gonna throw out

0:59:29.400 --> 0:59:32.840
<v Speaker 1>last week's monsoon game. Are you gaverage six point two

0:59:32.920 --> 0:59:35.680
<v Speaker 1>yards after the catch last season? That was six the

0:59:35.720 --> 0:59:39.360
<v Speaker 1>most Seahawks allowed five point eight yards after the catch

0:59:39.440 --> 0:59:43.120
<v Speaker 1>last season, fourth worst, So a great opportunity for Brandon

0:59:43.160 --> 0:59:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Ay after the catch. And cornerbacks Justin Coleman and Michael

0:59:46.880 --> 0:59:51.560
<v Speaker 1>Jackson posted uh sub forty PFF tackling grades last week,

0:59:51.640 --> 0:59:53.520
<v Speaker 1>so I can see how you getting free for a

0:59:53.520 --> 0:59:55.800
<v Speaker 1>long one here. I like his prospects and I've got

0:59:55.800 --> 0:59:59.600
<v Speaker 1>a B grade on him. And then lastly, Jeff Wilson,

0:59:59.600 --> 1:00:01.480
<v Speaker 1>by the way, I I'm under the assumption George Kittle

1:00:01.520 --> 1:00:04.360
<v Speaker 1>is not going to go in this game, although Tyler

1:00:04.440 --> 1:00:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Croft is a sneaky sleeper against the defense that just

1:00:07.920 --> 1:00:10.240
<v Speaker 1>allowed seven catches and eighty five yards to a tight end.

1:00:10.280 --> 1:00:13.120
<v Speaker 1>If you're really in a pinch at tight end and

1:00:13.240 --> 1:00:16.120
<v Speaker 1>Kittle gets ruled out, Tyler Croft might be a good

1:00:16.120 --> 1:00:18.360
<v Speaker 1>way to go. Let's talk about Jeff Wilson, your new

1:00:18.440 --> 1:00:22.040
<v Speaker 1>lead running back, not nude, your new lead running back

1:00:22.080 --> 1:00:23.840
<v Speaker 1>to the forty nine years, although if you were nwed

1:00:23.880 --> 1:00:27.200
<v Speaker 1>it would add an interesting element to the game. In

1:00:27.360 --> 1:00:29.880
<v Speaker 1>games in which Wilson has had more than fifteen carries

1:00:29.840 --> 1:00:31.680
<v Speaker 1>throughout his career, and there's eight to those and the

1:00:31.760 --> 1:00:34.320
<v Speaker 1>lead carrier carrier for the Niners always gets at least

1:00:34.360 --> 1:00:38.560
<v Speaker 1>fifteen carries, he has averaged nine two rushing yards and

1:00:38.760 --> 1:00:48.600
<v Speaker 1>eighteen receiving yards. That's a total of it's a hundred

1:00:48.600 --> 1:00:53.800
<v Speaker 1>and ten yards and a full touchdown per game. Jeff Wilson,

1:00:53.800 --> 1:00:57.240
<v Speaker 1>when he gets fifteen carries, that is massive productivity. He

1:00:57.240 --> 1:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>gets the Seahawks this week. If Gordon and Williams hadn't

1:00:59.880 --> 1:01:01.880
<v Speaker 1>both fumbled at the one yard line against the Seahawks,

1:01:01.920 --> 1:01:03.880
<v Speaker 1>would be talking about how the Seattle run defense has

1:01:03.880 --> 1:01:06.160
<v Speaker 1>already given up a hundred yard rushing game and two touchdowns,

1:01:06.160 --> 1:01:11.320
<v Speaker 1>So Jeff Wilson a grade for him. We'll take a

1:01:11.320 --> 1:01:14.000
<v Speaker 1>break when we come back. More matchups to break down,

1:01:14.400 --> 1:01:19.920
<v Speaker 1>including the Texans taking on the Broncos. Might be love Texans.

1:01:20.360 --> 1:01:23.040
<v Speaker 1>That Texans offense. We already talked about Davis Mills, who

1:01:23.040 --> 1:01:26.160
<v Speaker 1>we like. What about Eco Collins didn't doo much last week?

1:01:26.200 --> 1:01:28.520
<v Speaker 1>What about Brandon Cooks who did? We'll tell you what

1:01:28.560 --> 1:01:31.600
<v Speaker 1>we think about those guys when we returned to Fantasy

1:01:31.760 --> 1:01:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly. Paul Churchi and

1:01:52.680 --> 1:01:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Scott Fish, Brian Johnson with you. Scott Falcons take on

1:01:56.400 --> 1:02:00.240
<v Speaker 1>the Rams. Falcons, Ruddy packs were really far are more

1:02:00.280 --> 1:02:03.160
<v Speaker 1>effective than the Rams were. Rams with a big opportunity

1:02:03.200 --> 1:02:05.960
<v Speaker 1>to bounce back. But let's start with court Darryl Patterson's

1:02:06.160 --> 1:02:09.439
<v Speaker 1>the best stories of week one and and early last year.

1:02:09.840 --> 1:02:11.760
<v Speaker 1>It's a two year in a row thing here. Well

1:02:12.120 --> 1:02:16.439
<v Speaker 1>this this week, alright, last week, at least Patterson Patterson's

1:02:16.560 --> 1:02:19.360
<v Speaker 1>role was basically a full role because Damian Williams went

1:02:19.360 --> 1:02:22.320
<v Speaker 1>out and their only active backup was Avery Williams, a

1:02:22.360 --> 1:02:25.919
<v Speaker 1>converted defensive back who mostly plays special teams this week.

1:02:25.960 --> 1:02:28.240
<v Speaker 1>Williams will be out again, but they're prepared for it,

1:02:28.240 --> 1:02:30.400
<v Speaker 1>and Tyler l Geer, who I play in the league with,

1:02:30.680 --> 1:02:33.800
<v Speaker 1>will also get some work. But indications are Patterson will

1:02:33.840 --> 1:02:37.920
<v Speaker 1>once again get that workhouse workhorse role fifteen plus touches.

1:02:38.440 --> 1:02:40.880
<v Speaker 1>My problem is it's a very tough match up against

1:02:40.880 --> 1:02:42.760
<v Speaker 1>the ramsdy that was top ten in a lot of

1:02:42.760 --> 1:02:44.680
<v Speaker 1>categories against the run last year. So I only have

1:02:44.720 --> 1:02:47.680
<v Speaker 1>a B grade on Cordell Patterson. I'm gonna have Algie

1:02:47.720 --> 1:02:49.280
<v Speaker 1>on the bench. I'm not gonna trust him in this

1:02:49.400 --> 1:02:54.640
<v Speaker 1>very first game, sorry, Tyler. As for the passing game, yeah,

1:02:54.760 --> 1:03:00.560
<v Speaker 1>I surprisingly have starting grades somehow on Mariotta, London, and Pits.

1:03:00.560 --> 1:03:02.520
<v Speaker 1>In a game, I think they'll be behind a lot

1:03:02.560 --> 1:03:04.920
<v Speaker 1>and need to pass to even try to attempt anything

1:03:05.000 --> 1:03:08.560
<v Speaker 1>to sts defense. But how about Mariota's rushing from last week? Yes,

1:03:08.680 --> 1:03:11.960
<v Speaker 1>that's exactly the point. Mariotta is not going to get

1:03:12.000 --> 1:03:13.800
<v Speaker 1>you a ton through the year air, but he had

1:03:13.800 --> 1:03:16.680
<v Speaker 1>a third of their running back rush carries last week.

1:03:17.040 --> 1:03:19.920
<v Speaker 1>Ten plus rush attempts is easily within the range of

1:03:19.960 --> 1:03:22.520
<v Speaker 1>outcomes for him. That's gonna give him a C grade.

1:03:22.600 --> 1:03:24.640
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of like Jalen Hurts only not quite as

1:03:24.720 --> 1:03:27.720
<v Speaker 1>much passing volume, so he gets the C grade on

1:03:27.840 --> 1:03:31.200
<v Speaker 1>that alone. Um again a tougher matchup, but I feel

1:03:31.240 --> 1:03:33.880
<v Speaker 1>like they'll fall behind. The rush attempts plus falling behind

1:03:33.880 --> 1:03:37.240
<v Speaker 1>give him the C grade here. Drake London also gets

1:03:37.240 --> 1:03:39.320
<v Speaker 1>a C grade. It's hard not to like what we

1:03:39.360 --> 1:03:41.919
<v Speaker 1>saw in Week one. He missed all a preseason done,

1:03:42.000 --> 1:03:46.920
<v Speaker 1>goes on to lead the team in target share, receptions, yards, everything.

1:03:47.000 --> 1:03:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Basically Jalen Ramsey's gonna try to lock him up. And

1:03:50.400 --> 1:03:51.840
<v Speaker 1>he had some trouble ls week, and he had to

1:03:51.880 --> 1:03:54.040
<v Speaker 1>trouble some trouble at the D last season too, so

1:03:54.680 --> 1:03:57.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe maybe just on pure volume alone and

1:03:57.480 --> 1:04:01.280
<v Speaker 1>again game script, Drake London gets a C grade. For me,

1:04:01.920 --> 1:04:04.080
<v Speaker 1>I have a B grade on Kyle Pitts and I'm

1:04:04.120 --> 1:04:08.520
<v Speaker 1>getting frustrated charge and Brian. Brian especially, I'm getting frustrated.

1:04:09.200 --> 1:04:14.720
<v Speaker 1>He's consistently top five in so many superfluous categories, not

1:04:14.800 --> 1:04:18.240
<v Speaker 1>anything that but not phantasy points. Like last week he

1:04:18.280 --> 1:04:21.520
<v Speaker 1>had what like I think third or fourth fifth most

1:04:21.680 --> 1:04:25.720
<v Speaker 1>unrealized air yards that just didn't happen for him. Once

1:04:25.760 --> 1:04:28.520
<v Speaker 1>those start happening, he's going to be like a solid

1:04:28.560 --> 1:04:31.520
<v Speaker 1>A most weeks, but they're just not happening. So I'm

1:04:31.520 --> 1:04:34.520
<v Speaker 1>giving him a B in it once again, a tough matchup,

1:04:34.960 --> 1:04:37.880
<v Speaker 1>trailing B grade until he until he can show it.

1:04:37.880 --> 1:04:39.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna give him an until he shows me it.

1:04:40.560 --> 1:04:43.080
<v Speaker 1>That's fair for Kyle Pitts right now. On the other side,

1:04:43.720 --> 1:04:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Matt Stafford is getting an A grade. Cooper Cup is

1:04:46.720 --> 1:04:48.440
<v Speaker 1>getting a grade. I don't think I need to talk

1:04:48.560 --> 1:04:50.480
<v Speaker 1>much about it. It's night and day from last week,

1:04:50.960 --> 1:04:54.040
<v Speaker 1>last year's top past defense, last week this year or

1:04:54.120 --> 1:04:57.040
<v Speaker 1>this week they get a bottom five pasty. So Stafford

1:04:57.040 --> 1:04:59.400
<v Speaker 1>and Cup easy a's. But what are we gonna do

1:04:59.440 --> 1:05:02.560
<v Speaker 1>with Alan Robinson. I'm gonna keep my eye on it,

1:05:02.600 --> 1:05:05.520
<v Speaker 1>but I'm half throwing out Week one. He played percent

1:05:05.600 --> 1:05:08.040
<v Speaker 1>of snaps, he had half the red zone wide receiver targets,

1:05:08.320 --> 1:05:11.760
<v Speaker 1>and we just watched Jarvis Landry and Michael Thomas torched

1:05:11.840 --> 1:05:14.960
<v Speaker 1>the Falcons for a hundred fifty plus yards and two scores.

1:05:15.400 --> 1:05:18.280
<v Speaker 1>So I have a C grade hesitantly, but a C

1:05:18.440 --> 1:05:21.400
<v Speaker 1>grade on A on Allen Robinson, a wide receiver in

1:05:21.440 --> 1:05:25.760
<v Speaker 1>that good offense. Tyler Higbee was one of your way

1:05:25.760 --> 1:05:30.240
<v Speaker 1>too many, too many Chicks. He's a good streaming option

1:05:31.000 --> 1:05:33.240
<v Speaker 1>in the run game. We need to buy into Henderson.

1:05:33.320 --> 1:05:36.160
<v Speaker 1>We we do. They want cam more involved, they say it,

1:05:36.200 --> 1:05:38.200
<v Speaker 1>but they didn't show it on the field, and even

1:05:38.240 --> 1:05:41.080
<v Speaker 1>the stuff after last week wasn't super out of optimistic

1:05:41.280 --> 1:05:44.400
<v Speaker 1>and he had some pretty bad plays, pretty bad plays

1:05:44.440 --> 1:05:47.000
<v Speaker 1>in that game. So Cama's on the bench while Henderson

1:05:47.040 --> 1:05:49.120
<v Speaker 1>gets a B because he was one of only six

1:05:49.160 --> 1:05:53.040
<v Speaker 1>backs had a full work work work, workhorse role, and

1:05:53.080 --> 1:05:55.600
<v Speaker 1>one of only six backs to play every single red

1:05:55.680 --> 1:05:58.200
<v Speaker 1>zone snap for that team last week. The B is

1:05:58.280 --> 1:06:00.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of due to how competent the Falcons Rundy was.

1:06:01.320 --> 1:06:03.600
<v Speaker 1>It actually seemed pretty good outside of the one Taystom

1:06:03.640 --> 1:06:06.560
<v Speaker 1>Hill run run. They shut everything else down. So just

1:06:06.640 --> 1:06:09.360
<v Speaker 1>a B B grade for Henderson in case cam Akers

1:06:09.440 --> 1:06:12.240
<v Speaker 1>does make his way. I think they'd like to get

1:06:12.240 --> 1:06:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Acres going. I think it would chance too, because they

1:06:14.760 --> 1:06:16.880
<v Speaker 1>know from they know Henderson after watching him all of

1:06:16.960 --> 1:06:21.520
<v Speaker 1>last year. Henderson's not a special running back. He's just

1:06:22.000 --> 1:06:24.640
<v Speaker 1>the lead running back for the Rams. They'd like to

1:06:24.640 --> 1:06:26.960
<v Speaker 1>get Acres going. He'll give They'll give him more chances.

1:06:27.200 --> 1:06:28.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know they'll make good on it, but it'll

1:06:28.560 --> 1:06:31.800
<v Speaker 1>get more chances Brian Texans take on the Broncos. We

1:06:31.880 --> 1:06:34.640
<v Speaker 1>love the Texans in general. We've already talked about Davis Mills.

1:06:34.680 --> 1:06:37.000
<v Speaker 1>You're take a chance on me quarterback will tell me

1:06:37.040 --> 1:06:39.640
<v Speaker 1>about his receivers. Who else do you like in this one?

1:06:39.800 --> 1:06:42.000
<v Speaker 1>I basically only like Brandon Cook's gonna give him a B.

1:06:42.080 --> 1:06:44.040
<v Speaker 1>He saw twelve targets in Week one, while the rest

1:06:44.120 --> 1:06:46.840
<v Speaker 1>of Houston's wide receivers total just nine. It's not the

1:06:46.880 --> 1:06:49.600
<v Speaker 1>best matchup for Cooks, but the volume should be there. Uh,

1:06:49.720 --> 1:06:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Davis Mills loves looking his way, so a safe B

1:06:52.240 --> 1:06:54.600
<v Speaker 1>for Cooks. I got the rest of the wide receivers

1:06:54.600 --> 1:06:57.360
<v Speaker 1>on the bench for Houston. Hopefully Nico Collins steps up soon,

1:06:57.440 --> 1:06:59.240
<v Speaker 1>but I'm not gonna put him in my story hand

1:06:59.320 --> 1:07:01.480
<v Speaker 1>I had to drop in a couple of leagues. Now,

1:07:01.520 --> 1:07:03.920
<v Speaker 1>that's what the tight ends. So O. J. Howard ran

1:07:04.160 --> 1:07:07.360
<v Speaker 1>six pass routes last week. I saw two targets, scored

1:07:07.440 --> 1:07:11.200
<v Speaker 1>two touchdowns. Now, if I were to extrapolate numbers across

1:07:11.240 --> 1:07:13.480
<v Speaker 1>a full season with an average of about thirty routes

1:07:13.520 --> 1:07:16.680
<v Speaker 1>per game, my calculator would blow up. But I've got

1:07:16.720 --> 1:07:19.040
<v Speaker 1>him on the bench in Brevin Jordan's We had to

1:07:19.080 --> 1:07:21.120
<v Speaker 1>need some more clarity there. Well, it'll be interesting to

1:07:21.120 --> 1:07:23.320
<v Speaker 1>see if Howard gets ramped up more runs, more pass routes,

1:07:23.360 --> 1:07:25.560
<v Speaker 1>but for now they're both on the bench. As you mentioned,

1:07:25.640 --> 1:07:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Davis Mills might take a chance of me quarterback. And lastly,

1:07:28.720 --> 1:07:30.960
<v Speaker 1>the running backs, t Rex Burkhead. I call him t

1:07:31.120 --> 1:07:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Rex because he too soon will be extinct. Like, Gonna

1:07:35.560 --> 1:07:38.120
<v Speaker 1>give him a c As mentioned, he ran or saw

1:07:38.160 --> 1:07:40.120
<v Speaker 1>more than seven percent of the snaps, was only one

1:07:40.160 --> 1:07:42.280
<v Speaker 1>of three running backs with more than ten carries and

1:07:42.320 --> 1:07:44.600
<v Speaker 1>more than seven targets, so for now he is the starter,

1:07:44.760 --> 1:07:47.439
<v Speaker 1>so based on expected volume alone, gonna give him a see.

1:07:47.440 --> 1:07:49.960
<v Speaker 1>And Damian Pierce on the bench until he sees more

1:07:50.000 --> 1:07:53.440
<v Speaker 1>playing time, but that should come sooner than later, hopefully.

1:07:54.240 --> 1:07:57.360
<v Speaker 1>Over the Denver side, Javante Williams easy a here, still

1:07:57.400 --> 1:07:59.480
<v Speaker 1>in a time share, but this is a great matchup.

1:07:59.560 --> 1:08:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Last year, Texans were thirty second in red zone rushing

1:08:02.200 --> 1:08:05.760
<v Speaker 1>defense and thirty in explosive run rate. Last week, Williams

1:08:05.880 --> 1:08:09.320
<v Speaker 1>ran twenty eight pass routes and was targeted forty of

1:08:09.360 --> 1:08:13.280
<v Speaker 1>them for twelve targets. That's like Alvin Kamara type receiving work.

1:08:13.320 --> 1:08:16.559
<v Speaker 1>They're pretty exciting. So in A for Williams and a

1:08:16.600 --> 1:08:19.040
<v Speaker 1>B for Melvin. Gordon played in forty percent on the

1:08:19.040 --> 1:08:22.919
<v Speaker 1>snaps last week, total seventy two combo yards on fourteen touchdown,

1:08:23.000 --> 1:08:25.360
<v Speaker 1>so he still is a major factor. He also saw

1:08:25.439 --> 1:08:27.680
<v Speaker 1>more touches in the red zone than Williams did, so

1:08:27.720 --> 1:08:29.920
<v Speaker 1>he's a strong start in this plus matchup. So a

1:08:30.040 --> 1:08:33.040
<v Speaker 1>B for Gordon. I'm gonna give Courtland Sutton and Jerry

1:08:33.120 --> 1:08:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Judy both of B I like pretty much. I like

1:08:35.920 --> 1:08:38.759
<v Speaker 1>both of them pretty much the same. Yes, the Texans

1:08:38.760 --> 1:08:41.879
<v Speaker 1>went into overtime last week, but still the Colts whiteouts

1:08:41.920 --> 1:08:45.160
<v Speaker 1>total seventeen catches, two d and forty yards and one touchdown,

1:08:45.439 --> 1:08:48.040
<v Speaker 1>So Sutton and Judy could both get something done in

1:08:48.080 --> 1:08:51.120
<v Speaker 1>this game. And now over to Albert hold hold on, fish,

1:08:51.120 --> 1:08:55.280
<v Speaker 1>I got this Albert o'quebu nom job. Get the Q

1:08:55.520 --> 1:08:58.840
<v Speaker 1>in there. He gets a se uh. Andrew Beck stole

1:08:58.920 --> 1:09:02.320
<v Speaker 1>some early work from oh Quabunam, but he still let

1:09:02.360 --> 1:09:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Denver tight ends and targets and catches in Week one.

1:09:04.920 --> 1:09:07.639
<v Speaker 1>Houston allowed the twelve most yards to tight ends last year,

1:09:07.880 --> 1:09:09.920
<v Speaker 1>and the Colts tight ends are just targeted nine times

1:09:09.920 --> 1:09:12.200
<v Speaker 1>against the Texans last week. So I like Albert Oh

1:09:12.560 --> 1:09:15.000
<v Speaker 1>and lastly, Russell Wilson. I don't like him too much.

1:09:15.000 --> 1:09:16.640
<v Speaker 1>He really annoys me, but I'm gonna give him a b.

1:09:17.000 --> 1:09:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Wilson didn't get his revenge in the Seattle, but he

1:09:19.040 --> 1:09:22.320
<v Speaker 1>still posted strong numbers and his debut with Denver. Last season,

1:09:22.360 --> 1:09:25.640
<v Speaker 1>the Texans finished bottom ten in passing yards, touchdowns, and

1:09:25.720 --> 1:09:27.800
<v Speaker 1>yards per attempt, and that's bottom ten in a bad way.

1:09:27.840 --> 1:09:30.799
<v Speaker 1>When it comes to their defense, the Texas overhauled their secondary,

1:09:30.800 --> 1:09:33.240
<v Speaker 1>including both safeties, but they are both rookies. As a

1:09:33.280 --> 1:09:36.040
<v Speaker 1>starting cornerback at Derek Stingley, who was a first round

1:09:36.040 --> 1:09:38.120
<v Speaker 1>pick but still a work in progress, Wilson should have

1:09:38.120 --> 1:09:39.400
<v Speaker 1>a good game here. I think he should have a

1:09:39.400 --> 1:09:42.200
<v Speaker 1>good game. To calculator items, number one is eight zero

1:09:42.320 --> 1:09:44.760
<v Speaker 1>zero eight five, You know what I mean? And the

1:09:44.800 --> 1:09:48.400
<v Speaker 1>second is what the heck is? M plus M minus

1:09:48.800 --> 1:09:52.120
<v Speaker 1>M S M R M C. What does that even do?

1:09:52.120 --> 1:09:55.280
<v Speaker 1>Does anybody know? I mean? I do? I do? I

1:09:55.439 --> 1:09:58.200
<v Speaker 1>who knows what those buttons on a calculator does? If

1:09:58.240 --> 1:10:01.240
<v Speaker 1>you do, at Paul Charchi in X, explain what all

1:10:01.280 --> 1:10:04.120
<v Speaker 1>of those ms mean on a calculator, because I don't

1:10:04.160 --> 1:10:09.559
<v Speaker 1>know I don't want Bears taking on the Packers. We

1:10:09.680 --> 1:10:17.599
<v Speaker 1>begin as a reminder my the ground Bears might take

1:10:17.600 --> 1:10:19.760
<v Speaker 1>a chance to me running back. Let's let's stick with

1:10:19.800 --> 1:10:23.519
<v Speaker 1>the running backs and go to um. David Montgomery averaged

1:10:23.840 --> 1:10:27.680
<v Speaker 1>three point five yards per carry against uh the Packers

1:10:27.840 --> 1:10:30.639
<v Speaker 1>last year. He's gonna yield some of the carries to Herbert,

1:10:30.680 --> 1:10:33.679
<v Speaker 1>as I discussed earlier. And the Packers run defense, well,

1:10:33.720 --> 1:10:36.599
<v Speaker 1>it did not great out well against Minnesota, graded up

1:10:36.720 --> 1:10:39.880
<v Speaker 1>very well last season. I don't necessarily trust him here.

1:10:39.920 --> 1:10:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Only one running back top to one yards rushing against

1:10:43.120 --> 1:10:47.240
<v Speaker 1>the Packers since the since elite run stuffing linebacker Davantre

1:10:47.400 --> 1:10:50.639
<v Speaker 1>Campbell arrived in Green Bay, but Montgomery did in Week

1:10:50.680 --> 1:10:54.280
<v Speaker 1>twelve of the season two years ago. If that means anything,

1:10:54.280 --> 1:10:56.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it does. C grade on David Montgomery,

1:10:56.520 --> 1:10:58.759
<v Speaker 1>that's it. I don't. I don't love him here, justin

1:10:58.800 --> 1:11:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Fields only gets a C. Gray passing last week was bad,

1:11:01.960 --> 1:11:06.360
<v Speaker 1>but it was a monsoon. I'm worried about him passing

1:11:06.360 --> 1:11:10.439
<v Speaker 1>in perfect conditions against a very good Packers secondary. And yes,

1:11:10.520 --> 1:11:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota humbled the Packers last week, but Cousins to Jefferson

1:11:14.200 --> 1:11:17.480
<v Speaker 1>is a far cry from Justin Fields to Darnell Mooney

1:11:17.640 --> 1:11:19.479
<v Speaker 1>just to see grade here, and only a C grade

1:11:19.479 --> 1:11:22.280
<v Speaker 1>because of the rushing threat that Fields provides. He had

1:11:22.320 --> 1:11:26.040
<v Speaker 1>rushing totals of seventy four and forty three yards against

1:11:26.040 --> 1:11:29.280
<v Speaker 1>the Packers last year, so we'll hope that he can

1:11:29.360 --> 1:11:31.920
<v Speaker 1>rush for some yardage here. And a C grade for

1:11:32.000 --> 1:11:35.960
<v Speaker 1>Justin Fields. A begrudging C grade on Darnel Darnell Mooney

1:11:36.120 --> 1:11:39.680
<v Speaker 1>who likely gets shadow covered from elite coverage corner Jaire Alexander,

1:11:39.720 --> 1:11:42.879
<v Speaker 1>who is smarting from his zone use against Justin Jefferson

1:11:43.000 --> 1:11:46.559
<v Speaker 1>last week. But even if it's others, Mooney, if he sees,

1:11:46.600 --> 1:11:49.960
<v Speaker 1>whether it's Jaire Alexander, Russul Douglas or Eric States, it's

1:11:49.960 --> 1:11:52.280
<v Speaker 1>all a challenge. None of them have given it more

1:11:52.320 --> 1:11:55.720
<v Speaker 1>than thirty five yards in their coverage since Week fourteen

1:11:55.800 --> 1:11:58.640
<v Speaker 1>of last season. There's a good Packers secondary, and I

1:11:58.640 --> 1:12:01.559
<v Speaker 1>don't think Mooney's gonna change at We're gonna bench Cole

1:12:01.600 --> 1:12:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Commet one target on zero catches last week and two

1:12:04.520 --> 1:12:07.679
<v Speaker 1>mundane games against the Packers last year, and the Vikings

1:12:07.680 --> 1:12:10.439
<v Speaker 1>tight ends did nothing against the Packers last week. I

1:12:10.560 --> 1:12:12.600
<v Speaker 1>know comments gonna do better than last week. But have

1:12:12.720 --> 1:12:15.400
<v Speaker 1>zero catches last week, so better doesn't necessarily mean much.

1:12:15.720 --> 1:12:18.920
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the Packers side. Aaron Rodgers has a

1:12:18.960 --> 1:12:22.799
<v Speaker 1>bounce back coming if Lazard plays in this game. Rogers

1:12:22.800 --> 1:12:26.400
<v Speaker 1>history against the Packers is just torturous, with four to

1:12:26.760 --> 1:12:30.280
<v Speaker 1>four and four touchdowns thrown over the past four meetings.

1:12:30.800 --> 1:12:35.000
<v Speaker 1>Chicago starts two rookie second rounders in its secondary, Tyler

1:12:35.040 --> 1:12:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Gordon and Jakwon Brisker. Sure they held up last week

1:12:39.120 --> 1:12:41.639
<v Speaker 1>in the slop, but they've got a far tougher test

1:12:41.720 --> 1:12:44.720
<v Speaker 1>coming against Aaron Rodgers in perfect weather. And even if

1:12:44.760 --> 1:12:48.160
<v Speaker 1>the receivers are pretty pretty middling here, So be great

1:12:48.160 --> 1:12:50.760
<v Speaker 1>on Aaron Rodgers, be great on Almizart if he goes.

1:12:50.800 --> 1:12:52.800
<v Speaker 1>I like him a lot. He scored in both games

1:12:52.800 --> 1:12:54.920
<v Speaker 1>against the Packers last year and three of the last

1:12:54.920 --> 1:12:58.600
<v Speaker 1>four against Chicago, and the other receivers proved themselves. The

1:12:58.640 --> 1:13:02.240
<v Speaker 1>other Packers receivers proved themselves to be no help. Lazard's

1:13:02.479 --> 1:13:05.360
<v Speaker 1>return is gonna be very welcomed by Aaron Rodgers. And

1:13:05.400 --> 1:13:08.479
<v Speaker 1>I see a lot of volume coming for Lazard, and

1:13:08.600 --> 1:13:10.360
<v Speaker 1>let me mention this as I probably should have started

1:13:10.360 --> 1:13:12.559
<v Speaker 1>with the Packers of this. They may get three offensive

1:13:12.560 --> 1:13:16.080
<v Speaker 1>linemen back in this game. That would be huge Runyon

1:13:16.160 --> 1:13:18.320
<v Speaker 1>and Jenkins and back tr If they all come back,

1:13:18.400 --> 1:13:20.040
<v Speaker 1>or even like two of the three come back, that

1:13:20.160 --> 1:13:22.120
<v Speaker 1>is a that is a huge help for this line.

1:13:22.479 --> 1:13:24.320
<v Speaker 1>I like both the running backs a lot. Aaron Jones

1:13:24.320 --> 1:13:27.080
<v Speaker 1>and A J. Dillon both get bes here for Aaron

1:13:27.160 --> 1:13:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Jones three touchdowns in the two games last year, and

1:13:30.640 --> 1:13:33.680
<v Speaker 1>after last week's game, head coach Mela Fleur said he

1:13:33.920 --> 1:13:37.280
<v Speaker 1>vowed basically vowed to get Jones more carries. The Bears

1:13:37.320 --> 1:13:41.599
<v Speaker 1>were the league's worst graded run defense last week. Elijah

1:13:41.680 --> 1:13:44.720
<v Speaker 1>Mitchell and Deebo Samuel ran for almost seven yards a

1:13:44.840 --> 1:13:47.639
<v Speaker 1>carry against them. It was in the monsoon, but still

1:13:47.720 --> 1:13:50.960
<v Speaker 1>that's if anything, that almost makes it worse for Chicago.

1:13:51.320 --> 1:13:54.360
<v Speaker 1>They've allowed five straight backfields the top one d yards

1:13:54.439 --> 1:13:57.200
<v Speaker 1>rushing and that includes Aaron Jones and A J. Dillon

1:13:57.240 --> 1:13:59.360
<v Speaker 1>from last year. Like them both a Lot A J.

1:13:59.479 --> 1:14:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Dillon got lead the team in rushing attempts, receptions and

1:14:02.320 --> 1:14:05.080
<v Speaker 1>receiving yards and touchdowns last week. You're certainly going to

1:14:05.160 --> 1:14:07.439
<v Speaker 1>start A J. Dillon again. Both B grades for those

1:14:07.520 --> 1:14:12.280
<v Speaker 1>runners and lastly, Robert Tonyan the Packers tight end C

1:14:12.479 --> 1:14:15.679
<v Speaker 1>grade here look shockingly Spry in his first game back

1:14:15.680 --> 1:14:18.559
<v Speaker 1>from the a c L Again, nobody else to throw too.

1:14:19.320 --> 1:14:21.479
<v Speaker 1>I just think that there's just not a lot of

1:14:21.560 --> 1:14:25.280
<v Speaker 1>sure targets for Aaron Rodgers. We'll try Tony and last

1:14:25.360 --> 1:14:28.120
<v Speaker 1>year Chicago was a pretty good tight end defense, but

1:14:28.200 --> 1:14:30.439
<v Speaker 1>I still don't trust him much here and I think

1:14:30.439 --> 1:14:32.160
<v Speaker 1>there's a chance for Tony and if you need to

1:14:32.160 --> 1:14:35.920
<v Speaker 1>throw darts at the tight end position when we come back.

1:14:36.120 --> 1:14:39.519
<v Speaker 1>Premature Speculation. We'll tell you guys to pick up this

1:14:39.560 --> 1:14:42.000
<v Speaker 1>week that everybody else will be trying to pick up

1:14:42.120 --> 1:14:46.000
<v Speaker 1>next week, but they're already on your roster. Premature speculation

1:14:46.200 --> 1:15:05.880
<v Speaker 1>coming out next on Family Football Weekly. It's the final

1:15:05.920 --> 1:15:08.719
<v Speaker 1>segment of Fantasy Football Weekly. A reminder we are still

1:15:08.760 --> 1:15:12.160
<v Speaker 1>creating guillotine leagues from scratch. You can still play. You

1:15:12.160 --> 1:15:14.479
<v Speaker 1>can play with your friends in a private league anywhere

1:15:14.520 --> 1:15:18.200
<v Speaker 1>between eight and seventeen of your friends can get together

1:15:18.240 --> 1:15:21.160
<v Speaker 1>to form a guillotine league. Or if you don't have friends,

1:15:21.600 --> 1:15:24.439
<v Speaker 1>maybe you've just got a maybe just uncouth, maybe you've

1:15:24.479 --> 1:15:29.000
<v Speaker 1>got a personality that most people find offensive. Then you're

1:15:29.000 --> 1:15:31.120
<v Speaker 1>going to join one of our public leagues available. We've

1:15:31.160 --> 1:15:34.719
<v Speaker 1>got live drafts basically anytime there's not an actual NFL

1:15:34.800 --> 1:15:37.879
<v Speaker 1>game going, You've got a live draft option at Guillotine

1:15:37.960 --> 1:15:41.839
<v Speaker 1>leagues dot com. Alright, gentlemen, it's time for a favorite

1:15:41.840 --> 1:15:45.200
<v Speaker 1>segment on this show, Premature Speculation. This is where we

1:15:45.280 --> 1:15:48.240
<v Speaker 1>get players other others will be trying to pick up

1:15:48.280 --> 1:15:50.080
<v Speaker 1>next week, but are already going to be on your

1:15:50.160 --> 1:15:52.559
<v Speaker 1>roster because you listen to this show. Scott, who is

1:15:52.560 --> 1:15:55.559
<v Speaker 1>your premature speculation player this week? I am gonna go

1:15:55.600 --> 1:15:58.280
<v Speaker 1>with Van Jefferson, who is close to being back for

1:15:58.280 --> 1:16:01.000
<v Speaker 1>the Rams this week but could quite get there. He'll

1:16:01.000 --> 1:16:03.920
<v Speaker 1>probably be back next week. Uh, he was really starting

1:16:03.960 --> 1:16:06.559
<v Speaker 1>to flash and show things at the end of last year.

1:16:06.720 --> 1:16:09.719
<v Speaker 1>And there's a small chance Allen Robinson is actually washed

1:16:09.760 --> 1:16:12.280
<v Speaker 1>and Van Jefferson becomes the number two in a very

1:16:12.400 --> 1:16:16.240
<v Speaker 1>highly explosive offense. And for my second prespect because apparently

1:16:16.240 --> 1:16:19.880
<v Speaker 1>we're doing things like that now, Donovan Peoples Jones could

1:16:19.960 --> 1:16:22.559
<v Speaker 1>legit be that wide receiver one for that team. He's

1:16:22.600 --> 1:16:25.080
<v Speaker 1>seventeen percent rostered. He should be on a roster. I

1:16:25.120 --> 1:16:27.080
<v Speaker 1>picked him up in a few leagues last week. Brian,

1:16:27.120 --> 1:16:31.439
<v Speaker 1>your premature speculation player, speaking of potential team wide receiver ones.

1:16:31.520 --> 1:16:36.080
<v Speaker 1>I got New York's Richie James. M rich James five

1:16:36.120 --> 1:16:38.599
<v Speaker 1>catches last week. That's the same amount as of catches

1:16:38.640 --> 1:16:41.679
<v Speaker 1>as Sterling Shepherd, Darius Tony, Kenny Galady, and wan Dale

1:16:41.720 --> 1:16:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Robinson combined. And listen, we know Sterling Shepherd is injury prone,

1:16:46.120 --> 1:16:51.080
<v Speaker 1>Gadarius Tony's kind of looking like he's injury prone. He's cooked,

1:16:51.200 --> 1:16:53.880
<v Speaker 1>and then there's wan Dale Robinson. So Richie James, Rich

1:16:54.040 --> 1:16:56.439
<v Speaker 1>James could be uh the number one wide receiver for

1:16:56.479 --> 1:16:58.680
<v Speaker 1>the Jihnts this season. Bill grab him? Why not? How

1:16:58.720 --> 1:17:02.080
<v Speaker 1>about Gus Edwards? By this time next week, Gus Edwards

1:17:02.120 --> 1:17:04.559
<v Speaker 1>is going to be through three of his four weeks

1:17:04.680 --> 1:17:08.800
<v Speaker 1>of of the populist that he's on, the injured reserve

1:17:08.880 --> 1:17:11.519
<v Speaker 1>that he's on, and so he'll be looking at coming back.

1:17:11.840 --> 1:17:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Kenyan Drake and Mike Davis for Baltimore are totally washed up,

1:17:15.120 --> 1:17:19.400
<v Speaker 1>and Edwards should reaffirm his position is the backup behind

1:17:19.479 --> 1:17:21.600
<v Speaker 1>Dobbins in a time share that we believe it is

1:17:21.600 --> 1:17:25.400
<v Speaker 1>going to be like sixty forty Dobbins to Edwards. I'll

1:17:25.400 --> 1:17:29.320
<v Speaker 1>take a running rate uh for a team that runs

1:17:29.320 --> 1:17:31.680
<v Speaker 1>the ball as much as the Ravens do. And as

1:17:31.680 --> 1:17:36.000
<v Speaker 1>a reminder about Gus Edwards. His last healthy year he

1:17:36.080 --> 1:17:39.640
<v Speaker 1>was Pro Football Focus is fifth ranked running back and

1:17:39.680 --> 1:17:42.800
<v Speaker 1>he's never averaged less than five yards per carry in

1:17:42.880 --> 1:17:46.960
<v Speaker 1>any season. Gus Edwards a good running back who's gonna

1:17:47.000 --> 1:17:49.400
<v Speaker 1>come back and be an impact player for the Ravens,

1:17:49.439 --> 1:17:53.000
<v Speaker 1>and you'll want to pick him up, I believe. Let's

1:17:53.000 --> 1:17:55.479
<v Speaker 1>get back to our matchups. The next matchup up is

1:17:55.560 --> 1:17:59.080
<v Speaker 1>the Colts taking on the Jaguar Scott. For the Colts,

1:17:59.120 --> 1:18:01.280
<v Speaker 1>it's no Alec Pierce and this one and it looks

1:18:01.320 --> 1:18:03.120
<v Speaker 1>like Michael Pittman is not going to go. But he

1:18:03.200 --> 1:18:07.000
<v Speaker 1>said earlier you still like Matt Ryan at the quarterback position. Yeah,

1:18:07.040 --> 1:18:10.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm not. I'm still not sure about Michael Pittman. But yeah,

1:18:10.160 --> 1:18:14.760
<v Speaker 1>it's looking looking like practice. I know, well he got

1:18:14.800 --> 1:18:18.160
<v Speaker 1>he got hurt on Wednesday, um, and then he didn't

1:18:18.200 --> 1:18:21.360
<v Speaker 1>practice on Thursday, and then they skipped the team skipped

1:18:21.439 --> 1:18:25.719
<v Speaker 1>their Friday practice. So the B reporters, the B reporters

1:18:25.720 --> 1:18:29.320
<v Speaker 1>actually say it's on the optimistic side of questions. Okay, so,

1:18:30.280 --> 1:18:32.960
<v Speaker 1>but for the Colts, Jonathan Taylor's and obviously pretty much

1:18:32.960 --> 1:18:35.320
<v Speaker 1>every week Matt Ryan was my take a chance on

1:18:35.360 --> 1:18:37.519
<v Speaker 1>me quarterback and he hines was my take a chance

1:18:37.560 --> 1:18:40.120
<v Speaker 1>on me running back Paris Campbell was one of your

1:18:40.160 --> 1:18:42.840
<v Speaker 1>many take a chance on the players over there in charge.

1:18:43.720 --> 1:18:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Michael Pittman does get the C grade for me if

1:18:45.960 --> 1:18:50.639
<v Speaker 1>he goes. The hesitancy is on the injury. I mentioned

1:18:50.680 --> 1:18:53.200
<v Speaker 1>what the practices were this week, but he may play

1:18:53.280 --> 1:18:55.600
<v Speaker 1>limited naps if he goes, so I don't want to

1:18:55.640 --> 1:18:57.600
<v Speaker 1>give him an A grade, assuming he'll be healthy and

1:18:57.640 --> 1:19:00.679
<v Speaker 1>get his alpha rollback. I'm only given him a segrade.

1:19:00.920 --> 1:19:04.280
<v Speaker 1>On the Jags side, Uh, Trevor Lawrence did his usual

1:19:04.400 --> 1:19:06.320
<v Speaker 1>throw the ball into the ground or throw it too high,

1:19:06.360 --> 1:19:09.360
<v Speaker 1>thinking his wide receivers are yell ming or something. Uh.

1:19:09.600 --> 1:19:12.519
<v Speaker 1>You aren't starting him unless he becomes more efficient with

1:19:12.520 --> 1:19:15.720
<v Speaker 1>those attempts. But a bright spot was Christian Kirk. He's

1:19:15.720 --> 1:19:18.160
<v Speaker 1>the clear wide receiver one there. They paid him like that,

1:19:18.400 --> 1:19:20.640
<v Speaker 1>and he's the clear wide receiver one. He hauled in

1:19:20.720 --> 1:19:25.400
<v Speaker 1>six of his twelve targets. Twelve targets. That's awesome, awesome volume. Uh,

1:19:25.479 --> 1:19:27.960
<v Speaker 1>topping a hundred yards. He'll get his because he'll be

1:19:27.960 --> 1:19:30.320
<v Speaker 1>playing the same role that Brandon Cooks played last week

1:19:30.360 --> 1:19:33.120
<v Speaker 1>in a similar workload. UH. And he had eighty two

1:19:33.160 --> 1:19:37.040
<v Speaker 1>yards against that defense. Uh So, I think Christian Kirk

1:19:37.160 --> 1:19:39.680
<v Speaker 1>is getting a B grade for me here. I kind

1:19:39.680 --> 1:19:41.800
<v Speaker 1>of want to say, see, but it's the volumes just

1:19:41.880 --> 1:19:44.760
<v Speaker 1>too high, and he's the main guy. I have both

1:19:44.840 --> 1:19:47.160
<v Speaker 1>Za Jones and Marvin Jones on the bench. The Jags

1:19:47.160 --> 1:19:50.080
<v Speaker 1>do play a ton of three wide receivers sets. They

1:19:50.080 --> 1:19:53.200
<v Speaker 1>had pretty even numbers, but this has the fuel of

1:19:53.200 --> 1:19:55.840
<v Speaker 1>an offense where the twomate might flip week to week.

1:19:55.880 --> 1:19:58.040
<v Speaker 1>The indicators are a little in Za's favor. If you're

1:19:58.040 --> 1:20:00.560
<v Speaker 1>really in a pinch. It's a matt hip against the

1:20:00.560 --> 1:20:02.720
<v Speaker 1>bottom ten d from a year ago. But this the

1:20:02.800 --> 1:20:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Vegas over under his thirty seven on this game, the

1:20:05.200 --> 1:20:06.720
<v Speaker 1>lowest of the week. There's not going to be a

1:20:06.720 --> 1:20:09.000
<v Speaker 1>lot going on. I saw one of these next gen

1:20:09.160 --> 1:20:15.440
<v Speaker 1>stats um bits the fastest timed receiver last week Jones,

1:20:16.680 --> 1:20:19.519
<v Speaker 1>And remember he that guy is a little bit of

1:20:19.520 --> 1:20:22.599
<v Speaker 1>an athletic freak. He he had that hovering stand back

1:20:22.680 --> 1:20:24.479
<v Speaker 1>up thing from a couple of years ago and that

1:20:24.600 --> 1:20:27.920
<v Speaker 1>was weird. Yeah. Yeah, Over to the running game, Travis

1:20:27.960 --> 1:20:30.519
<v Speaker 1>C t N and James Robinson might be annoying this season.

1:20:30.800 --> 1:20:32.519
<v Speaker 1>I have a C grade on E. T N here

1:20:32.560 --> 1:20:35.200
<v Speaker 1>in a bench grade on Robinson, and I know it's

1:20:35.240 --> 1:20:37.880
<v Speaker 1>super weird, but E t N played a hundred percent

1:20:37.920 --> 1:20:40.080
<v Speaker 1>of the short yard of snaps, a hundred percent of

1:20:40.160 --> 1:20:43.320
<v Speaker 1>the minute two minute drill snaps, seventy five percent of

1:20:43.360 --> 1:20:45.960
<v Speaker 1>the long down and distance snaps, and if Lawrence was

1:20:46.000 --> 1:20:48.640
<v Speaker 1>more accurate, he would have had two touchdowns. One was

1:20:48.680 --> 1:20:51.960
<v Speaker 1>completely thrown over or thrown yeah, thrown over. The other

1:20:52.000 --> 1:20:55.080
<v Speaker 1>one he had barely reached up and tipped and could

1:20:55.080 --> 1:20:57.200
<v Speaker 1>barely get ahold of. He was wide open for one

1:20:57.240 --> 1:21:00.240
<v Speaker 1>of the touchdowns that we probably could have caught. You

1:21:00.280 --> 1:21:02.760
<v Speaker 1>and I think both tweeted within about sixty seconds of

1:21:02.800 --> 1:21:05.439
<v Speaker 1>each other in the middle of Sunday. Trevor Lawrence still

1:21:05.439 --> 1:21:09.719
<v Speaker 1>can't pack. He can't. Everybody just just was like, Oh,

1:21:09.760 --> 1:21:13.400
<v Speaker 1>it's not his fault. Urban Meyer, I will say, had

1:21:13.560 --> 1:21:16.280
<v Speaker 1>pass so far. I hope it changes. Et N did

1:21:16.280 --> 1:21:18.080
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of bad places, and that's why Robinson

1:21:18.160 --> 1:21:20.519
<v Speaker 1>got a lot of looks. But I have the secret

1:21:20.560 --> 1:21:22.280
<v Speaker 1>on E t N. The reason the grads are so

1:21:22.320 --> 1:21:24.639
<v Speaker 1>low is the the Colts were the third best against

1:21:24.680 --> 1:21:27.479
<v Speaker 1>running backs last year top ten last week, allowing a

1:21:27.600 --> 1:21:30.200
<v Speaker 1>paltry two point nine yards per carry, and that's why

1:21:30.320 --> 1:21:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Damian Pierce is going to have a bounce back right there.

1:21:33.160 --> 1:21:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Titans take on the Bills. Brian Um Derrick Henry a

1:21:37.200 --> 1:21:39.720
<v Speaker 1>pretty sizable disappointment in week one. What do you think

1:21:39.720 --> 1:21:42.360
<v Speaker 1>in Week two? And arguably a tougher matchup. Yeah, it's

1:21:42.360 --> 1:21:44.320
<v Speaker 1>a it's a brutal matchup. That's why he gets the

1:21:44.400 --> 1:21:49.440
<v Speaker 1>lower case B for Derrick Henry. He'll probably get fifteen carries. Sorry,

1:21:49.720 --> 1:21:52.439
<v Speaker 1>but it's a brutal matchup. That data said Buffalo allowed

1:21:52.520 --> 1:21:54.559
<v Speaker 1>less than ninety rushing yards in a touchdown per game

1:21:54.600 --> 1:21:56.640
<v Speaker 1>to opposing running backs last year. Henry did have a

1:21:56.680 --> 1:21:59.720
<v Speaker 1>monster game against Buffalo, but that they're old line in

1:22:00.040 --> 1:22:02.280
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee has taken a step back from last year. So

1:22:02.479 --> 1:22:06.080
<v Speaker 1>just the lower case little B for Henry. Dontrell Hilliard

1:22:06.120 --> 1:22:07.840
<v Speaker 1>on the bench, but he should be rostered. But not

1:22:07.880 --> 1:22:09.960
<v Speaker 1>a good week for him this week to start on

1:22:10.000 --> 1:22:13.000
<v Speaker 1>the Bill surrendered the third fewest receptions running back running

1:22:13.000 --> 1:22:15.639
<v Speaker 1>backs last year. So Hilliard is on the bench, by

1:22:15.640 --> 1:22:17.720
<v Speaker 1>the way, is he well that makes it further on

1:22:17.760 --> 1:22:20.439
<v Speaker 1>the bench. Kyle Phillips, I'm gonna give him a seat.

1:22:20.439 --> 1:22:23.040
<v Speaker 1>He led the team and targets, catches, and yards last week.

1:22:23.320 --> 1:22:26.320
<v Speaker 1>He was targeted on targeted on seven percent of Ryan

1:22:26.360 --> 1:22:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Tannehill's dropbacks. Hate the matchup, but Tannon has to throw

1:22:29.840 --> 1:22:31.920
<v Speaker 1>to somebody, and Philip seems like the guy. It certainly

1:22:31.960 --> 1:22:35.240
<v Speaker 1>doesn't seem like Treylon Burke's and where Robert Woods who

1:22:35.240 --> 1:22:37.599
<v Speaker 1>combined for four catches and six eight yards last week.

1:22:37.880 --> 1:22:39.960
<v Speaker 1>They're both on the bench in a tough matchup, as

1:22:40.000 --> 1:22:44.519
<v Speaker 1>is Austin Hooper. Jeff Swain led Tennessee's tight end to targets, receptions,

1:22:44.520 --> 1:22:47.400
<v Speaker 1>and yards last week, so I can't advocate starting Hooper,

1:22:47.479 --> 1:22:50.439
<v Speaker 1>even though the Bills yielded eleven targets to Tyler Higgy

1:22:50.560 --> 1:22:53.360
<v Speaker 1>Higby last week. Hooper is on the bench, as is

1:22:53.479 --> 1:22:56.599
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Tannehill. That shouldn't be h too hard to decipher

1:22:56.680 --> 1:22:59.439
<v Speaker 1>considering I hate all the past catchers. Basically over to

1:22:59.479 --> 1:23:03.400
<v Speaker 1>the Buffalo side, Devin Singletarry and Zack Moss. Canna give

1:23:03.439 --> 1:23:05.760
<v Speaker 1>them both the sea. The Titans were stout against the

1:23:05.840 --> 1:23:08.160
<v Speaker 1>run last season, but so far that hasn't carried over

1:23:08.200 --> 1:23:11.439
<v Speaker 1>to two. Just ask Sae Kwon Barkley about that. Who

1:23:11.439 --> 1:23:15.200
<v Speaker 1>shredded the Titans run defense single Arry saw of the

1:23:15.200 --> 1:23:17.200
<v Speaker 1>snaps last week. So he still has a lead back,

1:23:17.600 --> 1:23:19.840
<v Speaker 1>but I see both he and Moss topping ten touches

1:23:19.880 --> 1:23:22.200
<v Speaker 1>in this game, and James Cook dead to us for now.

1:23:22.240 --> 1:23:25.679
<v Speaker 1>He's on the bench. Of course, Stefon Diggs monster game

1:23:25.880 --> 1:23:29.040
<v Speaker 1>in week one. He's an easy abuse. Jalen Ramsey basically

1:23:29.080 --> 1:23:31.519
<v Speaker 1>matchup proof digs. No no need to go any further

1:23:31.560 --> 1:23:34.280
<v Speaker 1>into that. Gabriel Davis can give him a bet. He

1:23:34.280 --> 1:23:36.439
<v Speaker 1>didn't see a ton of targets last week, but he

1:23:36.479 --> 1:23:38.880
<v Speaker 1>made the most of them. He played in nine of

1:23:38.920 --> 1:23:40.760
<v Speaker 1>the snaps and ran a pass route on every single

1:23:40.800 --> 1:23:42.960
<v Speaker 1>one of Josh Allen's drop backs. He remains a must

1:23:42.960 --> 1:23:46.280
<v Speaker 1>start in almost any matchup. And we talked about how

1:23:46.320 --> 1:23:51.320
<v Speaker 1>bad Tennessey was against slot receivers last year. I'll reiterate um,

1:23:51.360 --> 1:23:54.440
<v Speaker 1>they gave up the most PPR points to slot wide receivers.

1:23:55.520 --> 1:23:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Of the wide receiver points they gave up went to

1:23:57.760 --> 1:24:02.040
<v Speaker 1>slot receivers thirteen and wide receiver touchdowns surrendered went to

1:24:02.080 --> 1:24:04.760
<v Speaker 1>slot receivers. So I give Isaiah Mackenzie the sea, and

1:24:04.800 --> 1:24:06.720
<v Speaker 1>I also like Jamison Crowder. That's why I used my

1:24:06.760 --> 1:24:09.320
<v Speaker 1>take a chance on me wide receiver fired that bullet

1:24:09.360 --> 1:24:12.240
<v Speaker 1>at Jamison Crowder both Cole Beasley and Manny Sanders had

1:24:12.280 --> 1:24:14.519
<v Speaker 1>great games when these teams met last year or so.

1:24:14.640 --> 1:24:17.800
<v Speaker 1>I like Mackenzie and crowder Dawson Knox, I do not

1:24:17.880 --> 1:24:19.759
<v Speaker 1>like him again this week. I got him on the bench.

1:24:20.080 --> 1:24:22.200
<v Speaker 1>The Titans allowed the Giants tight ends to combine for

1:24:22.280 --> 1:24:25.320
<v Speaker 1>just one target, one catch, one yard last week. It's

1:24:25.320 --> 1:24:27.479
<v Speaker 1>not like anyone who was expecting anything from New York's

1:24:27.520 --> 1:24:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Chris Maya Rick to have a breakout game, but this

1:24:30.439 --> 1:24:33.040
<v Speaker 1>looks like a continuation of last season, where Tennessee allowed

1:24:33.040 --> 1:24:36.400
<v Speaker 1>the fifth fewest yards, sixth fewest receptions, and just three

1:24:36.439 --> 1:24:39.320
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns to tight ends. So Knox on the bench for

1:24:39.400 --> 1:24:42.639
<v Speaker 1>one more week, and Josh Allen quite the opposite. He's

1:24:42.800 --> 1:24:46.519
<v Speaker 1>in a obviously, he's basically always in a su the

1:24:46.520 --> 1:24:48.880
<v Speaker 1>other Monday nighter, and for some reason, we have two

1:24:48.880 --> 1:24:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Monday nighters, but they're both on the East Coast. If

1:24:52.040 --> 1:24:54.160
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna have two Monday nighters, you gotta stagger him

1:24:54.200 --> 1:24:56.679
<v Speaker 1>so people can watch one or the other. Right, watch

1:24:56.760 --> 1:24:59.160
<v Speaker 1>both rather, I mean, instead of having to choose, I

1:24:59.240 --> 1:25:02.080
<v Speaker 1>got to bring both. It's a little weird. I don't

1:25:02.080 --> 1:25:06.400
<v Speaker 1>get that Vikings Eagles is the other Monday night game. Uh,

1:25:06.520 --> 1:25:09.120
<v Speaker 1>we'll start with the Viking side justin Jefferson's obviously grade.

1:25:09.120 --> 1:25:10.519
<v Speaker 1>We're not going to spend time on that, but let's

1:25:10.520 --> 1:25:12.920
<v Speaker 1>talk about some of the other receivers. Adam Theland after

1:25:12.920 --> 1:25:15.280
<v Speaker 1>a quiet game gets a B grade here should see

1:25:15.280 --> 1:25:18.280
<v Speaker 1>more opportunities in this game, even in a matchup with

1:25:18.439 --> 1:25:23.280
<v Speaker 1>another another challenging secondary. The outside cornerbacks Darius Slay and

1:25:23.320 --> 1:25:26.240
<v Speaker 1>James Bradberry have combined to allow just one score over

1:25:26.280 --> 1:25:29.559
<v Speaker 1>their last six games, which creates a contrast to Theland's

1:25:29.560 --> 1:25:33.360
<v Speaker 1>touchdown scoring prowess. But the Eagles are very susceptible in

1:25:33.360 --> 1:25:35.439
<v Speaker 1>the slot, at least moderate. You're susceptible in the slot,

1:25:35.840 --> 1:25:38.720
<v Speaker 1>and we saw I'm on ros st Brown's big game

1:25:38.720 --> 1:25:40.640
<v Speaker 1>from the slot last week, and Theland runs from the

1:25:40.640 --> 1:25:42.679
<v Speaker 1>slot regularly, and I think we get up an uptick

1:25:42.720 --> 1:25:45.679
<v Speaker 1>here and a very possible touchdown B grade for Theland.

1:25:45.880 --> 1:25:48.640
<v Speaker 1>He's always a possible touchdown. I feel like he is

1:25:49.240 --> 1:25:51.479
<v Speaker 1>h J. J. Osbourne very quiet last week, but he

1:25:51.560 --> 1:25:53.799
<v Speaker 1>runs from the slot, as you just mentioned of Ante Mattos,

1:25:53.840 --> 1:25:55.920
<v Speaker 1>all of that same stuff. I like Osborne with a

1:25:56.000 --> 1:25:58.040
<v Speaker 1>C grade here with a bigger role in the in

1:25:58.120 --> 1:26:01.519
<v Speaker 1>the greatest weakness coming from the slot. Uh Kirk Cousins

1:26:01.600 --> 1:26:03.799
<v Speaker 1>five got A B and C grades on his receivers.

1:26:03.840 --> 1:26:07.280
<v Speaker 1>I've got to like Cousins as well. Uh Bradberry very good.

1:26:07.360 --> 1:26:10.919
<v Speaker 1>James Bradberry cornerback was very good last Sunday, allowing thirteen

1:26:11.000 --> 1:26:14.559
<v Speaker 1>yards on six targets. But every part of the Vikings

1:26:14.600 --> 1:26:17.000
<v Speaker 1>passing game is far stronger than with the Lions would

1:26:17.000 --> 1:26:20.120
<v Speaker 1>have allowed last week. So I still like Cousins here.

1:26:20.160 --> 1:26:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Probably not a gigantic game, but a good enough game

1:26:23.240 --> 1:26:27.160
<v Speaker 1>for a B grade for him. And then Dalvin Cook. Um,

1:26:27.280 --> 1:26:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Cook's value took took a hit at the goal line.

1:26:29.920 --> 1:26:33.599
<v Speaker 1>Kevin O'Connell ran five plays from inside the ten yard line.

1:26:34.400 --> 1:26:36.519
<v Speaker 1>Just one was a Cook run, and I think we're

1:26:36.520 --> 1:26:39.479
<v Speaker 1>gonna see so different and I know I think this

1:26:39.600 --> 1:26:43.479
<v Speaker 1>mayor this mirrors the past heavy usage of the Rams

1:26:43.800 --> 1:26:47.240
<v Speaker 1>last year, um, and so that's probably gonna be something

1:26:47.280 --> 1:26:50.040
<v Speaker 1>that continues here. Still, Leagles just gave up one hundred

1:26:50.200 --> 1:26:54.360
<v Speaker 1>seventy two yards and three scores DeAndre Swift and Jamal Williams.

1:26:54.400 --> 1:26:57.920
<v Speaker 1>So you're certainly starting Dalvin Cook a B grade for him.

1:26:58.280 --> 1:27:00.920
<v Speaker 1>On the Philadelphia side, A J. Browns and obvious A,

1:27:01.439 --> 1:27:03.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, to start him after the Giant game last week.

1:27:03.640 --> 1:27:05.639
<v Speaker 1>And Jalen Hurts also an A. And I think we're

1:27:05.640 --> 1:27:07.000
<v Speaker 1>getting to the point where we just say that he's

1:27:07.000 --> 1:27:09.880
<v Speaker 1>in every week A, right and just obvious A. And

1:27:09.920 --> 1:27:15.280
<v Speaker 1>that's it to top twelve quarterback and eighteen how about that? Yeah,

1:27:15.320 --> 1:27:16.960
<v Speaker 1>he didn't throw a touchdown last week and he was

1:27:17.040 --> 1:27:21.040
<v Speaker 1>QB five with no touchdown passes. And if the Vikings

1:27:21.080 --> 1:27:23.679
<v Speaker 1>get pressure on Hurts, he's got the elusiveness to extend

1:27:23.720 --> 1:27:27.040
<v Speaker 1>plays and that pressure also, you know, he could offen

1:27:27.360 --> 1:27:29.960
<v Speaker 1>essentially make it harder for Patrick Peterson and Cam Danceler

1:27:30.240 --> 1:27:32.719
<v Speaker 1>to hang with A. J. Brown and the other receivers there,

1:27:33.080 --> 1:27:35.800
<v Speaker 1>like Dallas Goddard as well. The Packers have a hodgepodge

1:27:35.800 --> 1:27:38.479
<v Speaker 1>of tight ends that combined for six catches, sixty seven

1:27:38.520 --> 1:27:41.559
<v Speaker 1>yards and no touchdowns, and Dallas Goddard figures would better

1:27:41.600 --> 1:27:43.880
<v Speaker 1>than all of those that the Vikings gave up last week.

1:27:44.120 --> 1:27:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Miles Sanders B greade on Dallas Gollard, B grade on

1:27:47.400 --> 1:27:50.240
<v Speaker 1>Miles Sanders, who was great last week's seven point six

1:27:50.320 --> 1:27:53.719
<v Speaker 1>yards per carry that was a very strong play. Vikings

1:27:53.800 --> 1:27:56.679
<v Speaker 1>run defense looked really good but went largely on challenge

1:27:56.760 --> 1:27:59.640
<v Speaker 1>there Kenneth Gainewell on the bench last week. Just the

1:27:59.640 --> 1:28:02.759
<v Speaker 1>twenty three snaps seven touches not enough work, and Boston

1:28:02.800 --> 1:28:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Scott needs a goal line run for any relevance that

1:28:05.560 --> 1:28:08.240
<v Speaker 1>he is not available either. Do you miss any part
