Speaker 1: Welcome to Fantasy Football Weekly, a production of I Heart Radio.

00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: Time now for Fantasy Football Weekly from I Heart Radio,

3
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: your weekly source for the nation's best fantasy speculation and advice,

4
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: now along the leagues dot Com. Here's your host, Paul.

5
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 1: It's a week two edition of Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm

6
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: Paul Giarchy and from Guillotine Leagues dot Com by co

7
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: host Matt Harrison, Shocked Fantasy dot Com, Brian Johnson, Guillotine

8
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: Leagues dot Com. Hey guys, Hi, if you went oh

9
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: and one, you may feel inclined to panic. We a

10
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: little later on, we are going to do a rare

11
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: diversion from three tough questions down to ten tough questions

12
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: anden tough questions, all centered around the appropriate level of

13
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,800
Speaker 1: panic for Week one under producers. And there were so

14
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: any it could have been twenty guys easily not. This

15
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: reminds me of the old Fantasy Football almost daily Panic Room.

16
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 1: It's very much like the old Panic Room segment. We're

17
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: gonna break down all the game's fantasy style like we

18
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: always do. We'll give you nine players upon whom you

19
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: can take a chance, and we will offer some premature

20
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: speculation at the end. Of the show about guys that

21
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: you will want to pick up. Let's roll right into

22
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: our matchups, beginning with the Rams traveling to Indianapolis. Matthew

23
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: Stafford and the Rams surgical in their dissection of the

24
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: Bears last week, and frankly, the Colts defense didn't make

25
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: it look like it's gonna be much of an impediment either. Yeah,

26
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: the Colts defense, uh, their secondary specifically was missing Xavia Roads.

27
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: He's been ruled out again. Cornerback, top cornerback arguably for

28
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: the Colts. So we'll start with the passing game. Let's

29
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: start with Stafford. You gonna give him an A just

30
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: because he looks so happy in l A, doesn't he

31
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: from roids released from the prison of the Detroit Lions,

32
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: And speaking of the Lions, with the Lions last your

33
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: Stafford had three thirty six yards and three passing touchdowns

34
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: against the Colt to again without Xavier Rhodes, and obviously

35
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: Stafford has more dangerous weapons with the Rams, so I'm

36
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: giving Stafford in a this week. Speaking of those weapons,

37
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: will start with Cooper Cup can give him a B

38
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: by everyone. By now everyone knows that Cup and Stafford

39
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: are breakfast buddies. Have you heard this? They eat breakfast

40
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: together every day. Oh, I was not. I was not

41
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: aware of this. They're sharing fruit loops something like that.

42
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 1: The chemistry showed in week one and week one Tyler

43
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: Lockett shredded the Cults from the slot. So you gotta

44
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: like Cup. This week, Robert Woods like him as well.

45
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: I was gonna give him a C just because he's

46
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: not part of the breakfast club with Cup and Stafford,

47
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 1: but with Xavier Rhods ruled out, I'm gonna give Woods

48
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: a B. Here um benching Van Jefferson into Sean Jackson. Uh,

49
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: they might go off for a long play, but they're

50
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: just dart throws and daily at this point. They're bengeable

51
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: in seasonal formats, and uh, Tyler Higby can give him

52
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: a B as well. Former teammate Gerald Everett scored against

53
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: the Colts last week, and Higgbye was very involved against

54
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: the Bays. Stafford looked at the ways a lot. He

55
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: gets a B, and so does Darryl Henderson. Darryl disc Man,

56
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: Henderson Farley superior. He's no Walkman superior to the Walkerman.

57
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: I like it's one up from the walk Now I've

58
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 1: gotta h I gotta give some love to a fellow

59
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: Brian J. Brian Jerkison Guilloteen Leagues dot com writer Jerkison

60
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: j U R C H I S I n J

61
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 1: shirt jerseys Brian Brian J another Brian Jay were the

62
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: best Brian's with eyes. He said this about Darryl Henderson. UH.

63
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 1: Indie's defense was league worst in tackling last week, which

64
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,839
Speaker 1: adpaired nicely with Henderson rushing for thirty one yards after

65
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: contact against a vastly superior Bears defense. India was especially

66
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: juicy up the middle, allowing forty seven yards and only

67
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: six attempts to Seattle, mirroring Henderson's Week one up the

68
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: middle success forty four yards on eight attempts. So some

69
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: good numbers, and I think we may have a Brian J.

70
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: Upgrade on our hands. Now come on, now, don't do

71
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: that yet, but probably in the future, I would hope.

72
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: So I would love a few more weeks off Brian Jerkinson,

73
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: if that is your real name, over to the Colts,

74
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. I'll give him a b here. Even though

75
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: right tackle Brandon Smith has been ruled out for Indie.

76
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: H Taylor left tackle. Yeah, Eric Fisher could make his debut,

77
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: but it's still very if he. Uh. Taylor played in

78
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: just fifty of the snaps last week, still had a

79
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: hundred and sixteen combo yards against the Seahawks. The Rams

80
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: did surrender on combo yards to the Bears in Chicago's

81
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: old line still not nearly as good as Indies. Even

82
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: if the whole Colts line was out there, probably still

83
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: better than the Bears offensive line. Uh, not much more

84
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: to talk about with the With the Colts offense, I'll

85
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 1: give Zach Pascal a see uh and Michael Pittman a

86
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: bench grade. The Colts will have to try and throw

87
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: in this game, and I'll go with Pascal. He scored

88
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: twice last week. Jalen Ramsey should be on Pittman for

89
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: the most part, so easy bench for Pittman, Jack Doyle

90
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: and mo Alie Cox. Uh. This is kind of tough

91
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: because on paper it seems like a good matchup. Chicago

92
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: tight ends were targeted nine times for six catches and

93
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: fifty plus yards last week. I had a pause there,

94
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: but I feel like I'm running along on this matchup

95
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: and thank you for catching the nine times. But get

96
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: the button bar button bar? Um these two really kill

97
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: each other's value. Doyle and mo Ali Cox. But it's

98
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: mo Ali's birthday on Sunday, so he gets he gets

99
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: the edge he gets at the Sea and Carson Wentz

100
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: gets the bench um. Tough matchup, but I want to

101
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: stress that Carson Wentz, to my eyes, look shockingly good

102
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: in that in the game last week and also might

103
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: take a chance of me. Guy. Paris Campbell had always

104
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: played the slot and identified this weakness against the slot

105
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: cornerback for Seattle Ugo Amadi, and I'm like, this is

106
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 1: a this is a burnable opportunity. Well, this year they've

107
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: decided to kick Paris Campbell outside and let Zach Pascal

108
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 1: play the slot and he scored twice. So I want

109
00:05:54,160 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: parcel credit part. Can I get both A and I

110
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 1: was not exactly right? Can I get both in one?

111
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,719
Speaker 1: I guess you just did. I just did the Raiders

112
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,559
Speaker 1: take on the Pittsburgh Steelers map. They'll be going without

113
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs in this game. So what do you think

114
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: about Kenyan Drake's possibilities as as a probable workhorse back. Yeah,

115
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him the Old Testament grade. That's a BC.

116
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: For those of you scoring at home right between there

117
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: the BC. See what I did there with Jacob's out.

118
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: Peyton Barber probably factors into the offense this week to

119
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: probably five to ten touches or so. And Devin Singletary

120
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: looked okay. He had eleven carries for seventy two yards

121
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:43,039
Speaker 1: against this vaunted Steelers defense last week. They have allowed

122
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: over seventy rushing yards to each of the last four

123
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: top running backs on the depth chart that they faced.

124
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: So I like Kenyan Drake a little bit here. So

125
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: you're saying Barber is gonna cut into Drake's productions a

126
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: little just a little bit, thanks, just a little bit. Uh,

127
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,679
Speaker 1: you know, he was not going to get their production

128
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: cut too. That's Darren Waller who had nineteen targets last week.

129
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: He gets the A grade even against the Steelers, who

130
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: you know, only allowed four targets, four receptions and forty

131
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: one yards the Dawson Knox last week. Derek Carr gets

132
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: a c h. The Steelers came away with the second

133
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: best pressure rate in the league last week against the

134
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: nimble Josh Allen, who is pressured on thirty fent of

135
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: his dropbacks, car put up good numbers in almost seventy

136
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: minutes against the Ravens, but also had twenty two in completions.

137
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: He gets the C grade only out of respect for

138
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: Darren Waller. All the rest of the receivers are on

139
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: the bench. Za Jones scored the touchdown, Brian Edwards leading

140
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: yards with eight one, hunter renfro led in targets and receptions.

141
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: Henry what Ruggs was the one that people drafted. And

142
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: then Willie Sneed was in there, and I was like,

143
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: Willie Sneed still a thing. He had critical drop by

144
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: Willie Sneed too well, and I was like Willie Sneed

145
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: on the Ravens because I remember Willie Sneed was on

146
00:07:55,840 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: the Ravens. Whatever. Rather large. Benjamin Roethlisberger, he could say

147
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: low end C grade from the eye test. He did

148
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: not look good. Uh neither did his line, who allowed

149
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: the shortest time to throw, only two point three seconds

150
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: according to Next Gen Stats. And Lamar Jackson broke the

151
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: streak of seven straight quarterbacks throwing for multiple scores against

152
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: the Raiders. So that's why Roethlisberger still gets the C.

153
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: I think he can get to two touchdowns here. I

154
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: think the target distribution of the wide receivers worked out

155
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: about how we thought it would. Deonta got ten targets,

156
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: Juju got eight, Claypool got five. Claypool's number was a

157
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: little bit lower than I think that uh we saw

158
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 1: down the stretch last year. I would expect him to

159
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 1: settle in around the eight range for most games. With

160
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 1: each of these guys getting around eight targets per game,

161
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: They're all startable, but the nervousness surrounding Ben in the

162
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 1: line makes me not really want to all that much.

163
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: I'll give Deontay the B since he appears to be

164
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: the lead dog, with Juju and Chase just getting C grades.

165
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 1: The matchups are middle of the road. Any guy could score.

166
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,200
Speaker 1: It's just been here that I'm worried about. And then finally,

167
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: Naji Harris, I'm gonna give him a B grade. Here.

168
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 1: The workload was there, sixteen rushing attempts, three targets, No

169
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 1: other back had a touch. That's good. The production was

170
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: dive bar bathroom levels of disgusting, though, Yeah, that's right.

171
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: And the Raiders allowed a hundred and forty nine totally

172
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: yards per game to the position last year and just

173
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: one last week to the Ravens stable of backups just

174
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: still a lot a lot. Since Harris gets um all

175
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: of the running back touches, he should be fine here.

176
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo takes on Miami, a bounce back game coming for

177
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,079
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, and Alan has crushed the Dolphins in four

178
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: straight games and especially last year, where he averaged three

179
00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: hundred twenty passing yards and three and a half touchdowns

180
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: per game. The Dolphins allowed Mac Jones in his very

181
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 1: first NFL start, to roll up two one yards last week,

182
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: and as you'll hear, I like the matchup for Josh

183
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 1: Allen's receivers as well, including stuff on Diggs, who gets

184
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: an A grade. Miami cornerback Xavian Howard and Byron Jones

185
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: allowed to combined eight six percent catch rate in the opener,

186
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: and dig smoked the Dolphins in his two matchups last year,

187
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: averaging a hundred fifteen yards per game with a touchdown

188
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: in both of them. Digs one thirteen targets in the

189
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 1: opening game, and if he gets another thirteen targets against

190
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: this secondary, I love digs A grade for him. Cole

191
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 1: Beasley comes in with a C grade with a whopping

192
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: thirteen targets last week. Running from the slot. He faces

193
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: the worst of the Miami cornerbacks, Nick need him. If

194
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: you recall last year we had named him Nick Needless.

195
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: Last year, Needless allowed a passer rating of a hundred

196
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: nine on throws in his coverage. He has allowed twelve

197
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: touchdowns in his coverage between this year and last year.

198
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders with a surprise C grade. He was on

199
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: the field for percent of Buffalo snaps. He played all

200
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: three receiver positions evenly, put up fifty two yards last week,

201
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 1: and this matchup was far more favorable. So I think

202
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: he increases the fifty two yards to a better number

203
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: that puts him on C grade. And because Sanders got

204
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: all this work, and Beasley did, and Diggs did. I

205
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: know Gabriel Davis scored a touchdown last week, but I

206
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: don't see it coming here because he's just not on

207
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: the field nearly enough. The only running back you need

208
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: to worry about Devin Singletary, who comes in with a

209
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: B grade. With Zack Moss inactive, Singletary got seventy five

210
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: of the snaps and a massed eighty total yards against

211
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 1: a very good Steelers defense. The Dolphins just got shredded

212
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: by the Patriots runners through the air and the ground,

213
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: and so I expect another good dual threat game from Singletary,

214
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: who can catch some His lack of scoring though always

215
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: an issue for Singletary. His best season is a four

216
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: touchdown season. I did see that they are planning on

217
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: having Zack Moss be active this weekend though, yeah, and

218
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: I you know, I'm still I'm not dropping Zack Moss.

219
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: We're actually we're gonna talk more about that later. Well,

220
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 1: we'll get back to that one. Let's go over to

221
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,599
Speaker 1: the Miami side, where I've got a handful of C

222
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: grades that you can go with. Um, we'll begin with

223
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position. Will Fuller is not going to

224
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 1: play in this game. He's been ruled out for personal reasons.

225
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: We won't speculate as to the nature of those. Let's

226
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,479
Speaker 1: talk about the other wide receivers. This is a problem.

227
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:12,959
Speaker 1: Will Fuller not playing hurts DeVante Parker because Parker looked

228
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 1: very good in Week one, and part of it was

229
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: because will Fuller wasn't there. So I think he got

230
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 1: a little extra action and they threw to him deep

231
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: a lot. But now against the Bills, as the go

232
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: to veteran downfield presence, I think he gets the shadow

233
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: coverage from trade As White, who shadowed last week. I

234
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: think he shadows Parker here as well. And trade As

235
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: White is oft any death sentence for opposing receivers, so

236
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: I only have the C grade and DeVante Parker se

237
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: grade and Jalen Waddle uh, he was he had He

238
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: was just one target behind DeVante Parker for the the

239
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: team lead, and he did score a touchdown for Miami

240
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: last week. Now he runs from the slot, He's gonna

241
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 1: face Arron Johnson, who seated just forty three scoreless yards

242
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: last week, but could be susceptible two yards after catch,

243
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 1: and Wattle has brings four three speed to the position.

244
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think there's a chance that Waddle breaks

245
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: another one here. And I wouldn't be surprised to be

246
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: scores a C grade on Jalen Waddle as well. Ta

247
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: Tongo Violoa is on the bench. It's very early sample

248
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: size for this year is just one game, but he

249
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,599
Speaker 1: looked like the same guy saw last year and was

250
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: not terribly impressed with. I still am not seeing special

251
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: arm traits from Tua, but I did like that he

252
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: pressed the ball down field more. The problem is it's

253
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: a good bill secondary. They just stimied Ben Roethlisberger last week.

254
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: They've allowed zero or one touchdown pass in nine of

255
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: their last twelve games, and that includes a Week seventeen

256
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: matchup with Tua in which he put together three hundred

257
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: sixty one yards. But he had to throw the ball

258
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: fifty eight times to get to the three sixty one yards.

259
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: And he's not gonna throw the ball fifty eight times

260
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: in this game. In weeks seventeen last year, the Bills

261
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,319
Speaker 1: had everything locked up. I believe that may be correct

262
00:13:57,600 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: as well. I don't really remember, to be honest, Let's

263
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: talk about Miles Gaskin as we get away from the

264
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: passing game. Here. For Miles Gaskin, the Bills running running

265
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: back defense looked much better than their league average unit

266
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: from last year. They only allowing only forty nine total

267
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: yards to the Steelers, and it was all Naji Harris.

268
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 1: As you mentioned, Matt Gascon average eighty total yards per

269
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 1: game with a single score against the Steelers last year.

270
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 1: He was only on the field for of the team snaps, though,

271
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: and that really bothers me. Malcolm Brown and Salvan Akammed

272
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 1: combined for nearly as many touches as Gascon had and

273
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: that's why he only gets the C grade despite being

274
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: a workhorse here. And as for Matt Gisicky, Mike, Mike,

275
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 1: excuse me, invisible last week. Can't start him until we

276
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: have some proof of life. Invisibility would be a good

277
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: trait for a receiver. That would be a good drafter

278
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: you catch the ball, yes, that would be That would

279
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: be extremely well that you can still see the football

280
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: though unless the invisibility transfers to the football. Well, but

281
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: your quarterback can't see if we're talking, probably like Harry

282
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,800
Speaker 1: Potter's invisibility cloak. I think you could get it under

283
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: the cloak. And oh I like that you get fined

284
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: by the NFL for wearing a cloak on the field.

285
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: That's true, unless it's an NFL branded cloak. I'm from Nike,

286
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: right exactly. Uhh. That would probably have a hoodie like

287
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: the kind you see on Bill Bell and all branded

288
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: invisible hoodie visibility HOODI I like. I like that concept.

289
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: When we come back, take a chance on me nine

290
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: players not normally in your starting lineup. We'll tell you

291
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: who they are when we return to Fantasy Football Weekly.

292
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: It's a segment we called take a Chance on Me

293
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: nine player not normally do. Starting line that many of

294
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: these guys are available on the waiver wire will unveil

295
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: some sleepers, beginning at the quarterback position and Matt Harrison.

296
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: So evidently, when you're down by thirty every game, it

297
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: has a little bit of an advantage to your yolo style,

298
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: and that's what Jared Goff was last week. He through

299
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: fifty seven times. Last week. Only Dak Prescott through the

300
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: ball more at When you throw that many times in

301
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: garbage mode, you can come up with three eight yards

302
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: and three scores. And he faces an angry Packers team

303
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: that got blown out by the Saints and Jamis Winston.

304
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: So either the Packers are gonna show up be really

305
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: mean and hungry and we're gonna look at a ton

306
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: of Jared Goff garbage time again, or they'll be what

307
00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: they were last week and give up five touchdowns to

308
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 1: Jared Goff. I also expect Golf to attack Kevin King,

309
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: who is one of five corners to allow a perfect

310
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: passerrating in his coverage last week. Let's go Jared Goff,

311
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: um Brian your take a chance at the quarterback. Of course,

312
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 1: I was tempted to go Andy Dalton in a revenge

313
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: game against the Bengals. But it's Andy Dalton. He's awful.

314
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 1: So I was tempted to take what I would imagine

315
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: is the first backup quarterback and take on history in

316
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: justin fields but outscored. I know he probably him this week, probably,

317
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna play it safe and do's go with

318
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: Teddy Bridgewater at the Jacksonville Jaguars. Yes, Teddy just lost

319
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: his top receiver and Jerry Judy, but who cares. It's

320
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: the Jaguars to Rod Taylor just put up top twelve

321
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: fantasy points against Jacksonville, and Denver has better weapons than

322
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: Houston even without Jerry Judy. So Teddy Bridgewater easy play.

323
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: Last week, I used Jimmy Garoppolo. He got us to

324
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: three yards in a touchdown. This week, I'm going to

325
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 1: use Jimmy Garoppolo. He doesn't have elite arm talent, and

326
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: I think people hold that against him. But it doesn't

327
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: matter when you've got awesome playmakers like Deebo Samuel who

328
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 1: leads the NFL and yards after catch, or George Kittle,

329
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: who leads all tight end and yards after catch. Just

330
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: get the ball to those guys. We know Philly cornerbacks

331
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: Savante Mattis, Darius Slay, Steven Nelson are beatable because we've

332
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: seen it many times over. I will take the forty

333
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 1: niners receiving unit over those guys every day, and Jimmy

334
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 1: Garoppolo will be the benefactor. Let's go to the running

335
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 1: back position. Who is your take a chance on me? Runner, Matt?

336
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: I believe this guy was your premature speculation last week.

337
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: It's Tony Jones Jr. He just took over the Latavius

338
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: Murray role Levin Carrey's for fifty yards last week at two.

339
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: Last year, Lottavius averaged eleven touches per game. Last year,

340
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 1: the Panthers gave up five point two yards per every

341
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,360
Speaker 1: running back touch. So needless to say, you can count

342
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: on about fifty six d for for Tony Jones, and

343
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: that's a coin flips chance that a t D and

344
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: he could get a ton of mop up duty in

345
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,199
Speaker 1: the second half as they're trying to keep some of

346
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: the mileage off of Kmara. So kind of like Tony

347
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: Jones Jr. Here, all right, I'm with you on that, Brian.

348
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: Who's your take a chance of me? Runner? I got

349
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard at the Chargers with Tony's You're gonna go

350
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 1: with a third Tony Now last week Tony Tony, I

351
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: like that. Well, it's gotta be tone at the end

352
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: of the third, Tony's gotta be just a tone. But uh.

353
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: In week one, the Cowboys are missing right guard Zack

354
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: Martin and a Zeke Ezekiel Elliott basically was forced to

355
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: play offensive lineman, and now the Cowboys are missing right

356
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 1: tackle le Collins against a vicious pass rush of the Chargers.

357
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 1: So I don't like it. We can see a lot

358
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 1: more blocking than rushing from Zeke and Pollard played the

359
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,960
Speaker 1: pass catching role for UM Dallas last week, and Washington

360
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 1: backs were targets seven times against the Chargers in Week one.

361
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,880
Speaker 1: L A was also top six and targets and red

362
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: zone targets yielded to running backs in we expect the

363
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys to be playing from behind in this one. So

364
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: I like Pollard catching the ball out of the backfield,

365
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: but he can run the ball to Tony Ken and

366
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: the Chargers allowed four point six yards per carry last

367
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: week to Washington. Pollard owns a four point eight yards

368
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: per carry clip for his career. So Tony Pollard, He's

369
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 1: at he's going to do outscores equal Elliott. I like it.

370
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,959
Speaker 1: That's ball and it's plausible. The way that you just

371
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: set that up. Well, apparently I'm tone deaf because I

372
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: am not using a Tony. I am using ah J.

373
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: Dylan as he goes up again. But his first name

374
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: is Anthony. No, not really, we don't know that. I

375
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: don't know his first name. Let's find out that maybe

376
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 1: it is. That would be awesome and angry, humiliated packard

377
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 1: team is going to throttle the Lions, staking a big lead,

378
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 1: and it's gonna use its second running back during the

379
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 1: second half. Al Jeers, Neil William Dylan. It almost came together.

380
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: So you just took atonement for that atonement singers today.

381
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: Dry gave up what we think so Didry gave up

382
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: one hundred thirty one rushing yards and two touchdowns last week,

383
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 1: and we saw two different running backs score touchdowns against

384
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 1: the Lions. Dylan look good in the small sample we

385
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: got of him last week before he got yanked, with

386
00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 1: the rest of the starters averaging almost five yards per

387
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: carry and three yards after contact. A J. Dillon might

388
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 1: take a chance on the runner, Matt who is you

389
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: take a chance for me receiver This week, it's Donovan

390
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 1: People's Jones of the Cleveland Browns. Odell Beckham out again

391
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: this week, still recovering from the a c L. D

392
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: p J moved all around the field last week, so

393
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: he'll get a taste of mostly the two outside corners

394
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 1: for the Texans. On one side, it's Terence Mitchell, who

395
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 1: allowed nine yards the third highest total for a corner

396
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: last week. On the other side, it's Vernon Hargraves the

397
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 1: third and is he bad? And we make fun of

398
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: him every week because he's not very good at his job.

399
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 1: So it's not surprising that both outside receivers for the

400
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 1: Jaguars scored a touchdown last week. I like d p J.

401
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: This week, I do too, and I just want to

402
00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: chime in on this, uh, you know, because he only

403
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: had the one catch last week, and Anthony Schwartz had

404
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: was targeted more and he's an exciting downfield player. But

405
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: Donovan People Jones was on the field for of the snaps,

406
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 1: only four snaps less than team leader Jarvis Landry. And

407
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I want my receivers

408
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: to be on the field, and so that's why I'm

409
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: with you on d p J. Brian, who is your

410
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: take a chance on me receiver? Speaking of one catch,

411
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: zero catches is less than one catch and that's how

412
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: many catches Russell Gauge head of the Atlanta Falcons at

413
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay this week. Now, it's not too often I'll

414
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: take the third wide receiver on a team such as

415
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 1: the Falcons, but Atlanta should start this game in garbage

416
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: time against the Bucks. Gauge scored in both games against

417
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay last year with good yardage total, So I'll

418
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: take a shot on Russell Gauge wide receiver three for Atlanta.

419
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,200
Speaker 1: All right now, I am. I am also attacking the

420
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,199
Speaker 1: Jacksonville secondary much like you gave us Teddy Bridgewater a

421
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: few minutes ago, Brian, kJ Hamler is set up nicely

422
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: with Jerry Judy out. That's a lot of extra passes

423
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 1: to go around in Denver, and Hamdler's got a juicy

424
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: matchup in the slot against cornerback Tyson Campbell, who allowed

425
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: a completion rate of one eight passes, eight completions, eighty

426
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown in his coverage last week. Hammler

427
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 1: is always a boomberbus guy, and he dropped a touchdown

428
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: last week. But I'm going boom here because you gotta

429
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 1: pick your spots with kJ Hamler, and they don't get

430
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:14,719
Speaker 1: any easier than this. kJ Hamdler is our final take

431
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 1: a chance on me player. I don't know why I

432
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 1: noticed this, but each of you guys have said juicy

433
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: on this program already. Today we're very juicy speaking of

434
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: this Denver matchup. This is a perfect segue, Brian, Let's

435
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: go to the Broncos and the Jaguars. You already told

436
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 1: us a lot about the passing game. You love Teddy,

437
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: I love kJ Hamler. Are there other receivers you'd like

438
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: to talk about? Yeah, you gotta give Courtland Sutton in

439
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 1: a You look at what Brandon Cooks did last week.

440
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: You would think Sutton can repeat those numbers. And Tim Patrick,

441
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: who's gonna step in for Jerry Judy. I mean, Jacksonville

442
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 1: allowed thirteen catches, two hundred yards and a touchdown combined

443
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: to Houston's receivers last week. Houston's receivers, So Tim Patrick

444
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 1: he might be wide receiver one over Courtland Suton. We're

445
00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: not fully convinced Sutton is all the way back, but

446
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 1: I'll give Patrick the b and Noah fense gets a

447
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: very safe b saw the third most targets among tight

448
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 1: ends last week, could be in line for more looks

449
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: with Judy on the shelf, Houston's Faraoh Brown, who had

450
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: four catches for sixty seven yards against the Jaguars, who

451
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: also surrendered the second most touchdowns to tight ends last

452
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: year with thirteen. And lastly for the Broncos, I'll give

453
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon, both of b all three

454
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: Texans running back scored last week against Jacksonville. Gordon and

455
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 1: Williams split snaps fifty fifty right down the middle evenly,

456
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 1: so they both couldn't produced juicy machup. It is a

457
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: juicy matchup. Not too juicy for Jacksonville. I got James

458
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:48,160
Speaker 1: Robinson on the bench, played only of the snaps last week,

459
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 1: limited to five carries against the awful Houston defense. But

460
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,959
Speaker 1: why will they not fall behind the Broncos even quicker

461
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: who just limited say Kwan Barkley the twenty six rushing

462
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: yards and the entire Giants backfield to forty six combo

463
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: yards that we're also scoreless, the fewest total of any

464
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 1: team last week. Denver also gets back Bradley Chubb, which

465
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 1: makes that defense a whole lot better than it was

466
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: last week. So I got Robinson on the bench. I

467
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 1: do like the receivers, though, because you gotta love garbage

468
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: time when it comes to the passing game. I got

469
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 1: a B for DJ Shark. Twelve targets last week, but

470
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,399
Speaker 1: just three catches. That's hard to do. One was for

471
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: a touchdown. The Giants wide receivers totaled a hardy seventeen catches,

472
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: two forty six yards and a touchdown against the Broncos

473
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 1: last week, and that was in a garbage timey game.

474
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 1: Script likely what we're looking at with the Jags here,

475
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: and for that reason, I have very positive sees for

476
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones and Lavishka Chano. Both were targeted nine times

477
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: last week. Jacksonville again should be playing from behind. I

478
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: gotta pause. You can just keep going, don't you really don't? Okay,

479
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stress this about Trevor Lawrence's game. Okay, give

480
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: him a ce real quick thank you, sorry ahead, unless

481
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: you're heavily penalized for interceptions. Because he had three very

482
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: bad ones last week. There's probably enough garbage time for

483
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence to warrant a c create in this game.

484
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 1: I think that may be the case. Overall, I think

485
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,679
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence looked quite good in that game. Um, you know,

486
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 1: first ever start, you're gonna have some picks. But the

487
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: box score I think is not a fair representation of

488
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: how he looked. He has more special arm traits in

489
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: one game of work than I saw all last season

490
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 1: in Tua. That was his first regular season loss of

491
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: his football career. Correct high school forward. And here's the

492
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: other thing about Trevor Lawrence box I saw six drops

493
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: in that game by his receivers. D J. Chark talking

494
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: to you, So I'm telling you Trevor is gonna be fine.

495
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: I thought he played a good game, especially for the

496
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,880
Speaker 1: standards of a first start rookie. When we come back,

497
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: we'll continue breaking down games Fantasy style, including jam Swinston,

498
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: fresh off a five touchdown explosion in Week one? Can

499
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: you expect the same against Carolina? Will find out when

500
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: we come back Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back Fantasy Football Weekly.

501
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: Pauled Charchi in, Matt Harrison and Brian Johnson with you.

502
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:39,719
Speaker 1: We continue to make fresh new guillotine leagues with alive

503
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: drafts that happened pretty much every night and basically anytime

504
00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: there's not a football game actively going, we've got we've

505
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: got new drafts that we're making for Guillotine leagues. If

506
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: you want to try the hottest new format and fantasy sports.

507
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: We've got guillotine leagues of all types and sizes, and

508
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: you can even start up a fresh new private league

509
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 1: with your friends. We support leagues from eight, well normally

510
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: eight to eighteen, but now that it's week two, eight

511
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 1: to seventeen players leagues dot Com. Okay, let's let's jump

512
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 1: into our matchups. As we mentioned heading into the last break,

513
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: Matt Jamis Winston blowing us all away with five touchdowns.

514
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody saw that coming nobody and only

515
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: a handful of passes. Talk to me about his prospects

516
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: to repeat anything close to that against Carolina. Yeah, obviously

517
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: the five touchdown passes was the big story. But here's

518
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 1: some things I don't like. He only threw twenty passes.

519
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:34,520
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill came in and did throw a pass. He

520
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,720
Speaker 1: also had two rushing attempts. It's good that we only

521
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: saw three meaningful Taysom Hill plays, Yes, but they were

522
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: only there and they were, but they were there, and

523
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 1: Jamis only through twenty passes, and Kevin King is not

524
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 1: a member of the Panthers defense, and this game sets

525
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: up as a running game script for the Saints. So

526
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: I got Jamis as a B grade in this one. Um,

527
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,719
Speaker 1: let's talk about the runners. Alvin Camara, he gets an

528
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: A that's not much, but Tony Jones might take a

529
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: chance on me. Like I mentioned, five point two yards

530
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,719
Speaker 1: per touch for running backs against Carolina, can we trust

531
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: any receiver in this game? Adam Troutman led the team

532
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: in targets with six. Juwan Johnson was next with three

533
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: targets and two touchdowns. Deonte Harris and Marquez Callaway tied

534
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: for the most wide receiver targets with two. The Panthers

535
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: did allow four touchdowns to the tight end position in

536
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,840
Speaker 1: the last seven games, So if I had to start

537
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: one guy, it's Juwan Johnson. And I don't know if

538
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: you saw his two touchdown grabs, but he went up

539
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 1: and high pointed both of those are the butches, by

540
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: the way, the perfect way to throw him the ball. Yeah,

541
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: and but and one was in heavy coverage. So I

542
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: like Juwan Johnson. I'll give him A. See, I'm not

543
00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: giving anybody anybody else on that receiving crew a starting grade,

544
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: though you can trust CMC though I'm still trusting him

545
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: with an A grade even against the Saints. In his

546
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,719
Speaker 1: last two meetings with the Saints, he's them through the

547
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: air for seven catches and seventy two yards and nine

548
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: catches for sixty nine yards. And to score in just

549
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 1: the pass game. Well, let's hope you can keep that going.

550
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: Because you can't run on the Saints. The rushing stats

551
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: are just gravy, though those are good enough numbers in

552
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: the passing game to start him on that alone. Sam

553
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: Donald is on your bench. Though the Saints were able

554
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: to breaze by the buck tr e Les Packers last week,

555
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:29,200
Speaker 1: pressuring Rodgers on of his throws, while the Panthers makeshift

556
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: O line only had to handle the Jets makeshift defense.

557
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: If a team can put Aaron Rodgers on his worst

558
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: game in four years, I don't think I want to

559
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: start Sam Donald against that defense in the next week

560
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: unless the inactives come out and there's some big question

561
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: marks in the secondary here. Slot corner C J. Gardner

562
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: Johnson questionable with a knee injury. Marshawn Lattimore is a

563
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: game time decision with a hand injury. P J. Williams

564
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: is dealing with a back injury, and it looks like

565
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: that's good for Robby anders In and d J Moore,

566
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: who I'm gonna give B grades too. It looks like

567
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: when either of these guys go outside, they will match

568
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 1: up against either third round rookie Paulson Adebo or on

569
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: the other side. If Latimore or Williams can't go, they'll

570
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: see Bradley Roby, who was just traded from the Texans

571
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 1: last week. Four of d J. Moore's ten career touchdowns

572
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: have come against the Saints, by the way, and he's

573
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: averaging five catches for a hundred yards in his last

574
00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: four meetings with New Orleans. Robbie caught the fifty seven

575
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: yards score and is always a big play threat, especially

576
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: with the hobbled secondary. Terris Marshall is like a dart

577
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: throw D grade in this one. With Gardner Johnson's status

578
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: in doubt, and there are no other Panthers receivers that

579
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: we need to talk about at all, because the last

580
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: one that we might talk about barely did anything. Uh,

581
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: he did more than Mike GISICKI and we talked about

582
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: about how we're not starting him. Brian Um, I want

583
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 1: to expand just for a second on this awesome Saints

584
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: run defense and why I don't have an A grade

585
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: on Christian McCaffrey. New Orleans is not allowed it one

586
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: hundred yard rusher since twenty seventeen. But I just staggering.

587
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,479
Speaker 1: I don't care about the hundred yard rushing. It's Christian

588
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: McCaffrey in the passing game and the rushing stuff, Like

589
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: I said, it's gravy. I'm I'm quibbling with the A grade.

590
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: He's not startable. McCaffrey has never topped sixty four rushing

591
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,360
Speaker 1: yards in his career against New Orleans. Sure he will

592
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 1: almost certainly catch a bunch of passes. I just don't

593
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: think you know the A grades to me or when

594
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: he's facing opponents of what you can do both. I'm

595
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: gonna quibble with your grades. I'm gonna quibble. Don't touch

596
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,520
Speaker 1: my quibbles. Instead of gravy, shouldn't the Russian stuff be dressing?

597
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: M Russian dressing very good? Oh God, Bryan Man, God

598
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: physically hurts New England, takes on the Jets and Let's

599
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: start with the running game here with Damien Harris his

600
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 1: twenty three rushing attempts for the most by a Patriot

601
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: since how about that they've got their workhorse back. The

602
00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 1: Jets just allowed nine yards on almost five yards per

603
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: carry to Christian McCaffrey and Harris managed five yards per

604
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: carry on double digit volume in his loan game against

605
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: the Jets last year, So it all rolls together for

606
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 1: another solid workhorse game from Damien Harris. Yes, he's not

607
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: gonna help you much through the air, but with that

608
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: much success on the ground, he gets a B grade.

609
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 1: I'm quibbling with that. It should be an A because

610
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: you've almost locked down a hundred yards for him and

611
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: probably a touchdown. So that's a quibble. Fine, quibble away.

612
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: I don't even care anymore. Let's talk about mac Jones.

613
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: You know it wasn't flashy last week, but Mac Jones

614
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: had an efficient, effective, first NFL start, and I think

615
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: he builds upon it here with an easier matchup against

616
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: the Jets. Nelson Aglar pop nicely in the first game.

617
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: We'll talk more about him, and he's got a good

618
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: chance at a repeat performance. And John Smith and Hunter

619
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 1: Henry combined for eight catches on eight targets. That was

620
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,959
Speaker 1: the most by a Patriots tight end since Rob Gronkowski

621
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 1: left combined so um and last year, by the way,

622
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: the Jets give up the most touchdowns two tight ends,

623
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: and so I think mac Jones has got a lot

624
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: of opportunities here to have a pretty darn good game.

625
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: And I've got a B grade on mac Jones. I

626
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: mentioned Nelson, Aglar and passing also a B grade. The

627
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: Jets are starting second year cornerback Bryce Hall and rookie

628
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:22,360
Speaker 1: Brandon Ecles on the outside. While they combined to yield

629
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 1: just thirty five scoreless yards last week, has a masked

630
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: has a massive twenty five pound advantage on Echos and

631
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: that coupled with his inexperience, should leave a lead Aglar

632
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 1: to a solid performance. You would never associate size, advantage

633
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 1: and Nelson are with anyone. It is a little scary

634
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,919
Speaker 1: the other receivers, Jacoby Myers, I've got a C grade

635
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 1: on him, lead the team with nine targets but turned

636
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: it into only forty four yards through one game. Jacoby

637
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:55,280
Speaker 1: Myers is a bottom ten wide receiver in average targeted

638
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 1: air yards and it's hard to put up fantasy points

639
00:34:58,400 --> 00:34:59,959
Speaker 1: when you're catching the ball at the line of scram

640
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 1: So we're just gonna keep the C grade on Jacoby Myers.

641
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: Let's talk about John U. Smith. We're gonna watch his

642
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,640
Speaker 1: hip injury, but assuming he's okay, he is startable here.

643
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 1: The Jets suffered the loss of starting linebacker Jamie and Sherwood,

644
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 1: leaving them to rely on delve Sean Phillips, who allowed

645
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,280
Speaker 1: a completion on all three targets that were sent his way,

646
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: including a play of over twenty yards to an opposing

647
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: tight end. If Smith gets ruled out of this game,

648
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: then Hunter Henry vaults to a B grade. If not,

649
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: Jon O. Smith gets the C grade. And the last

650
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 1: guy I want to talk about is James White. Last week,

651
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: the Jets allowed the Carolina backfield to catch all eleven

652
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 1: of their targets eleven for eleven for ninety three yards.

653
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: So I like James White here. Mac Jones seems to

654
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 1: have some immediate chemistry with White. They connected on six

655
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: of seven targets last week. So put that together, I've

656
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: got a C grade on James White as well. No

657
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,319
Speaker 1: quibbles there, all right, fine? Thank you from the quip desk.

658
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,759
Speaker 1: Let's go to the jet side of this right. I've

659
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 1: got um only one player with a starting grade, and

660
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: that is Corey Davis. He scored twice last week, but

661
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: a much tougher matchup this week. The most oftensive cornerback

662
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 1: J C. Jackson. He's the Patriots best cornerback with Stephen

663
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: Stephan Gilmore out. Jackson has allowed just one score in

664
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: his past nine games. But for everybody else, I don't

665
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: like it. Zack Wilson's on the bench. Although he played

666
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: gallantly last week, I thought it was it was scraps time.

667
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:33,800
Speaker 1: It was scraps time. His offensive line horrible. God was

668
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,080
Speaker 1: under durest all the time, constantly, Harry he took. He

669
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: absorbed six sacks and a mind bending twenty two pass

670
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 1: plays with pressure, according to Pro Football Focus. If that

671
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: weren't enough, his receivers dropped five of his passes, and

672
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: he lost his left tackle, and he lost his great point.

673
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: Patriots attack with Matthew Judean and Christian Barrymore and Kyle Vanoy.

674
00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: It's it's a total mismatch here. I don't like Zack

675
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 1: Wilson in this one. I'd like any of the rest

676
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: of the receivers particularly now that Jamison Crowder is back.

677
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: He just muddies up the water and thins out the

678
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: scoring opportunities for everybody else. And then the mismatch of

679
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: lousy runners for the Jets, Coleman and Johnson and Carter.

680
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: Patriots are good run defense. They shut down to Miami

681
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: runners last week, holding them to four yards per carry,

682
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,400
Speaker 1: none of them scored, and these guys are splitting time.

683
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 1: Are just gonna leave him on the bench. Cincinnati takes

684
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 1: on Chicago. Cincinnati coming off a very good game against

685
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: the rebuilt Vikings defense, and the Chicago secondary looks worse.

686
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: I like a lot of Cincinnati players in this game, Bryant, Yeah,

687
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: me as well. I'm gonna start with the running back

688
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,439
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon, giving him an a thirty three touches last

689
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 1: week for Mixing, the only running back to top thirty

690
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 1: across the league. Mixing nearly doubled the touch total of

691
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: the Rams Darryl Henderson, who had eighty nine combo yards

692
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: in a touchdown just eight teen touches against the Bears.

693
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: So give Mixing that plus and we're looking at a

694
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 1: monster stat line for Joe Over to the wide receivers.

695
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: Tee Higgins Jamaar Chase both get bees from me. Both

696
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: scored last week. Jamaar Chase scored from fifty plus yards.

697
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 1: The Bears allowed two wide receiver touchdowns with fifty plus

698
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:15,520
Speaker 1: yards to the Rams last week. Three wide receiver touchdowns

699
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 1: and all uh. And for that reason, I give Tyler

700
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 1: Boyd a very strong B two. He was quiet and

701
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: week one. Uh. But look for Burrow to get him

702
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: involved against the Bears shoddy secondary. Chicago slot corner Marquis

703
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:32,840
Speaker 1: Christian looked absolutely lost last week. Brutal like Cooper Cup

704
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: did to him. Is against the laws of nature. Now

705
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: wait for it. Tyler Boyd is going to give Marquis

706
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 1: the BIZ on Sunday. I got it. There we go.

707
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,879
Speaker 1: And for all those reasons, Joe Burrow gets a B too,

708
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 1: just because I'm worried Joe Mixon might go off on

709
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 1: the ground, uh like the triover receivers. For since the

710
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: of course, Matt Stafford was airing it out against Chicago

711
00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 1: last week. He averaged twelve plus yards per attempt. That

712
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: was the secon highest clip in the league in Week one.

713
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:04,399
Speaker 1: So we be for Joe Burrow. He who does Joe

714
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: Burrow eat breakfast? With though all three okay, this week,

715
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 1: I would think I would have I would invite all

716
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,200
Speaker 1: my wide receivers to break I think it's weird to

717
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 1: like get up and call your friends to come to

718
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: your house for breakfast. I think you guys, I think that.

719
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 1: I think they go into the facility and have breakfast.

720
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: That would be my guess. It's free. There as much

721
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 1: money as they make the NFL players, but they still

722
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: want the free food. Trust me, now, I love me

723
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 1: A revenge game and there's no better revenge opportunity for

724
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton against the Bengals, But he's still on the

725
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,399
Speaker 1: bench for me if he does not come. By the way,

726
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: Dalton did not the Bears as a team because Justin

727
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:42,160
Speaker 1: Fields did play a little bit. We're not going to

728
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: fault in for this. The Bears not attempt a single

729
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: pass longer than fifteen yards against the Rams last week.

730
00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: I don't even know how that's I'm not convinced he

731
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:55,800
Speaker 1: ken anymore. So he's on the bench for that reason.

732
00:39:55,840 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 1: This should be the very the end of his very

733
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 1: short era as the starting quarterback in hild Cargo. Hopefully

734
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,879
Speaker 1: we see Justin Fields at some point. Uh. A couple

735
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,240
Speaker 1: of starting grades though for some Bears receivers. Allen Robinson,

736
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,000
Speaker 1: no chance. He doesn't see ten plus targets in this game.

737
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 1: Minnesota Whiteouts were targeted twenty nine times against the Bengals.

738
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: Granted that was like five quarters of play, basically went

739
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,280
Speaker 1: all of overtime, but still you're not bending Allen Robinson.

740
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: Don't do that. I will bench Darnielle Mooney though. Just

741
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:23,920
Speaker 1: can't trust Andy dalton Man. You just can't do it.

742
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 1: Um Cole commit though, I'll give him a sea in

743
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 1: the tight end Wasteland decent five catches forty two yards

744
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 1: on seven targets. Less surprisingly active Jimmy Graham did steal

745
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: two targets, one in the red zone. Absolutely gross. You

746
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 1: hate to see that. Uh. Tyler Conklin had four catches

747
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 1: for forty one yards uh last week against the Bengals,

748
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 1: so feasible for commit to get to double digit PPR points.

749
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 1: And lastly, David Montgomery gonna give him the b give

750
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:53,879
Speaker 1: him a B look good against the Rams, I think,

751
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 1: and it's weird. Running backs almost never get better in

752
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: like your three year four I I think I thought

753
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,080
Speaker 1: Montgomery just had his best game. I was I was

754
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:04,959
Speaker 1: gonna about to say he looks like he's getting better

755
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:08,600
Speaker 1: and literally every game he's playing. Uh. It is concerning

756
00:41:08,640 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: that Damian Williams did steal ten touches out targeted Montgomery

757
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,799
Speaker 1: five to one. But Monty is still one of the

758
00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,319
Speaker 1: safer plays when it comes to volume. So be for him.

759
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 1: And we warned you about the Williams situation and previous shows.

760
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,200
Speaker 1: We we expected that to come up. Matt. Let's go

761
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: over to Houston taking on Cleveland Tyrod Taylor. They had

762
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 1: a big game, but it was against Jacksonville. What do

763
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: you expect from this Houston offense in this one? Uh?

764
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,720
Speaker 1: Not much. Uh. I got Tarod Taylor on the bench.

765
00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: Last week's game against the Jags was his absolute ceiling

766
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 1: one and two. Seven of the last ten quarterbacks to

767
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 1: face the Browns have been held under two hundred and

768
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 1: forty yards. Uh. The only receiver of his that you

769
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: can even fathom starting as Brandon Cooks, who gets a

770
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,759
Speaker 1: C grade five catches for one thirty two is not

771
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: terrible from last week. He's gonna keep getting looks this week.

772
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,959
Speaker 1: He matches up most see with Greg Newsome, who only

773
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:04,839
Speaker 1: allowed one catch for four yards in his coverage last

774
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,400
Speaker 1: week against Kansas City, but I think he was covering

775
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 1: not yea, he did not have Tyreek Hill clearly. Yeah,

776
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: Danny Amondola looks locked in as the second guy. But

777
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: no thanks there. And you don't want to start any

778
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: of the runners. You don't want to play these reindeer

779
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: games with the Texans running backs mark Ingraham, David Johnson,

780
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: Philip lindsay All on the bench. The Browns are really

781
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,920
Speaker 1: good against the run. Only one back is top sixty

782
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 1: rushing yards against them since Week nine of last year,

783
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs backs only managed forty nine rushing yards

784
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: last week. Let's go over to the Cleveland side where

785
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play this sound because Nick Chubb is this

786
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 1: week's fantasy art vark uh So. Pro Football Focus does

787
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 1: this thing where they rate the offensive line versus the

788
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,799
Speaker 1: defensive line and a matchup both for the run and

789
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,279
Speaker 1: the past. Now, normally anything with like a thirty percentage

790
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:59,560
Speaker 1: dedvantage is good for the offense. The run advantage for

791
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: the brown this weekend is one hundred and thirty eight percent.

792
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: I have a perfect ten out of ten grade on

793
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb this week. Only the Jaguars can make the

794
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: Texans look human. And that's because they completely abandoned the run.

795
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt gets a B grade in this game too.

796
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 1: It's it's it's almost at a grade fit isn't Jarvis

797
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:24,120
Speaker 1: Landry He's getting an A grade as well. Since O'Dell

798
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 1: went down in Week seven last year, Landry has put

799
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: up some decently solid numbers, averaging eight targets, five and

800
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 1: a half catches, sixty yards and half a score per game.

801
00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 1: He's a dependable C grade in tough matchups. But when

802
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 1: you get Desmond King, who allowed seven receptions on eight

803
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 1: targets in his coverage last week, that's great. Donovan People's

804
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: jones was, might take a chance on me wide receiver.

805
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,840
Speaker 1: I'm still not starting any Cleveland tight end as Hooper

806
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,240
Speaker 1: had three targets in Joke who had five in Harrison

807
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 1: Bryant had two, and then finally Baker Mayfield gets a B.

808
00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 1: I believe the Browns will win by more than a

809
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 1: touchdown if you do too. Baker's in a good spot.

810
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: In the last two years, in games where the Browns

811
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 1: have one by eight points or more, Baker's average line

812
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:06,160
Speaker 1: was two hundred fifty yards and one point eight touchdowns,

813
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: and in those ten wins. He's top three yards a

814
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:13,040
Speaker 1: few times, three touchdowns there it is Baker b When

815
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 1: we come back. We normally play three tough questions. This

816
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: week a special edition with ten tough questions. Can you

817
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:22,080
Speaker 1: go tend and oh find out when Fantasy Football Weekly continues.

818
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:48,200
Speaker 1: It's our number two Fantasy football weekly. I am Paul Charching.

819
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 1: You can follow me on Twitter at Paul Charchy, and

820
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:51,920
Speaker 1: you have to figure out how to spell charging in

821
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 1: And that's part of the that's part of the trick.

822
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 1: That's how we filter out my followers. If you can't

823
00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 1: figure out charging then apparently you're not worthy of follow me.

824
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,600
Speaker 1: If you want to follow Matt Harrison at Explosive Output

825
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 1: and Brian Johnson, my third co host today at b

826
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,439
Speaker 1: t x J, you can figure out how to spell

827
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 1: that one. I bet I'm still waiting for some kind

828
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: of corporation to need that. Won't that be nice? Yeah,

829
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: you've got there. There's probably no iterations of four letters

830
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,919
Speaker 1: that are left on Twitter. Normally we play a game

831
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 1: called three Tough Questions right now, where I Pepper my

832
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,960
Speaker 1: co host, with three questions, But this week we're playing

833
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: a variant speed version, a lightning version, lightning round. It's

834
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:43,839
Speaker 1: like a lightning round of tough questions for every one

835
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 1: of these, I want you to tell me the appropriate

836
00:45:46,560 --> 00:45:51,360
Speaker 1: level of concern for the player? Is it none? Is

837
00:45:51,400 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: it some? Or is it a bowel loosening level of

838
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: existential dread also known as abbreviated. That would be blowed,

839
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: So you can go non sum or blowed b L

840
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: l O E D. I was gonna go bled. I like,

841
00:46:09,239 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: I like absolutely, I can work with that. Our first player.

842
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: What is the appropriate level of concern for Trey Sermon?

843
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:21,280
Speaker 1: Matt uh some concern? I'm worried that Shanahan is getting

844
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:25,600
Speaker 1: Belichick levels of grudginess here, although losing Raheem mostart for

845
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 1: the season makes it much more likely that this will

846
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:30,399
Speaker 1: turn around quickly. There's a couple of backs who were

847
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 1: active ahead of him last week. That's that's concerning. Yes,

848
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: it is okay, Brian. Appropriate level of concern for Tray

849
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 1: Sermon blowed level concern for me because most people drafted

850
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 1: Tray Sermon to be the RB one, and that's counting

851
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:46,320
Speaker 1: and redraft leagues, and he didn't even see the field

852
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,919
Speaker 1: in week one. He was inactive. Certainly blowed last week

853
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:51,399
Speaker 1: and we all as we all know him raheem most

854
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:55,359
Speaker 1: out of the equation now for San Francisco, but who

855
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 1: he's an unproven workhorse. He's a rookie out of college

856
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 1: and he's in a three man platoon of hell full

857
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:07,040
Speaker 1: of Sheanana Shannahanigan so blowed level of concern for Tracer

858
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 1: The correct answer is some level. I think he's just

859
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:12,720
Speaker 1: a lukewarm talent. But for all we know he starts

860
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 1: like the next sixteen games. I mean, we just I

861
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: think it's too early to get a read on it.

862
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:19,160
Speaker 1: Is it eyebrow raising that he was fourth on the

863
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 1: depth chart coming into the season. Yes, it was, but

864
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:26,280
Speaker 1: we've seen stranger things happen in a Shanahan backfield before.

865
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 1: Tough question. Tough question number two. Appropriate level of concern

866
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 1: for Ronald Jones, Brian we Are are blowed again because

867
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 1: again he was drafted as the supposed RB one for

868
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. We'll talk about this matchup a little more.

869
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 1: I guess he is going into week two, but again,

870
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:47,919
Speaker 1: you never know what Bruce arians is gonna do. Leo

871
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 1: Fernette still in tow and Jio Bernard is the pass

872
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: catching back um So Jones is basically never gonna catch

873
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 1: a pass. But Bernard had chances to be the bell

874
00:47:56,560 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: cow in cincinnat and he wasn't awful, then he could

875
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 1: steal early downwards. A blowed level for Jones? All right,

876
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 1: matt what's the appropriate level of concern for Ronald Jones

877
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:09,320
Speaker 1: in a non best ball format? It's poop your pants time.

878
00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 1: We covered it last season. You don't know when to

879
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: start road, Joe Leo or g oh, it's it's even

880
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 1: more messy now. Uh. The appropriate level concern for Ronald

881
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 1: Jones is blowed levels of existential dread. And it always

882
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 1: should have been this from the beginning. And it's the

883
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 1: stuff we've told you about so many times. You just

884
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:30,840
Speaker 1: can't ever trust Bruce Arians. He says Jones will start

885
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: this next game, but keep in mind, Bruce Arians is

886
00:48:34,680 --> 00:48:36,520
Speaker 1: a liar. That just means will be on the field

887
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: for the first snap and then it'll fumble and it

888
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:45,360
Speaker 1: won't matter. Tough question number three. Appropriate level of concern

889
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 1: for sa Kwan Barkley matt Um after seeing that big

890
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: forties something yard run on Thursday night, It's a little less,

891
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:56,560
Speaker 1: but it's still some. He's definitely not ready for a

892
00:48:56,600 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 1: full workload as evidenced by eleven touches and fifteen tough

893
00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: is in his first two games. So it's just some

894
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:05,360
Speaker 1: but I think he's working his way back there alright.

895
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 1: Appropriate level of concern for sake Kwon Barkley Brian, Yeah,

896
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 1: Matt mentioned the good run, but then the rest of

897
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:12,320
Speaker 1: them are like to three yards and there's really nothing

898
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 1: he can do about that. Behind that awful, awful offensive line,

899
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 1: the quarterback not much better. I'm not it's not I'm

900
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 1: not blowed on Barkley, but there is definitely some level

901
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:23,360
Speaker 1: of concern. But his his usage should ramp up. You

902
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 1: guys had all my talking points here. He gets ten

903
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,239
Speaker 1: days off beginning right now. This is day one of ten,

904
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 1: and that will help him. And I think next time

905
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 1: we see that offense, Barkley is getting the majority of

906
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 1: the work some correct is the correct answer? Tough question

907
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:40,760
Speaker 1: number four? What's the appropriate level of concern for Ben

908
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 1: Rothless Burger Brian. It was a somewhat tough matchup with Buffalo,

909
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 1: but he looked absolutely washed throwing the football. Uh, No

910
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:52,640
Speaker 1: mobility left for Big Ben. That offensive line is shaky.

911
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: He's just gonna get killed back there. Okay, Matt, Appropriate

912
00:49:57,719 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 1: level of concern for Big Ben. We saw this with

913
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 1: pay and Manning. We saw this with Drew Brees. Their

914
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 1: arms get to be toast at some point. Uh. The

915
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 1: only saving grace for Ben is the schedule isn't terrible

916
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,040
Speaker 1: for him, but still, even a two quarterback league, I

917
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:14,840
Speaker 1: don't want him. It's blowed. It is blowed. Um. You

918
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:16,920
Speaker 1: guys hit most of my talking points, and you mentioned

919
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:20,520
Speaker 1: a key one earlier. Offensive line so bad. Ben had

920
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:22,879
Speaker 1: the league's lowest time to throw just two point three

921
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:25,720
Speaker 1: seconds in the pocket last week. He was the bottom

922
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 1: ranked quarterback in time to throw last year as well.

923
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 1: Next tough question number five. Appropriate level of concern for

924
00:50:37,160 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, Matt, Um, he doesn't score touchdowns, and I've

925
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 1: been saying that for about five years now. That's why

926
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,839
Speaker 1: I don't have him on any of my teams at

927
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 1: this stage in his career. HEP He's probably lost a

928
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:50,839
Speaker 1: step or two as well, but it's still just only

929
00:50:50,920 --> 00:50:53,359
Speaker 1: some concern. And I want to see how he does

930
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:56,959
Speaker 1: this week because I really like the matchup against Tennessee. Brian,

931
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:01,239
Speaker 1: appropriate level of concern for Jones. We knew you'd play

932
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 1: second fiddle to A. J. Brown in Tennessee. And now

933
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:06,640
Speaker 1: the sample size is just one week. It's pretty small,

934
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 1: but he's already playing third fiddle behind A. J. Brown

935
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 1: and Chester Rogers. But I'm not giving up on Julio

936
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:13,959
Speaker 1: just yet. Not like you should drop him or anything,

937
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:17,280
Speaker 1: but definitely some level of concern. No level of concern

938
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 1: is the correct answer, aside from the ongoing injury. Concerned

939
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 1: they always have had with him, and there's like no

940
00:51:22,840 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 1: new level of concern anyway. The Titans offensive line look

941
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 1: bad and that does worry me. Had can't be can't

942
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 1: be any worse than it was last week, and the

943
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 1: Titans just the fact they only have two real targets

944
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: Jones and Brown, tells me volume and opportunity will ultimately

945
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:40,680
Speaker 1: be there and he will improve tough. Question number six

946
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:45,920
Speaker 1: is appropriate level of concern for Brandon Aiyuke Brian, Well,

947
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:48,880
Speaker 1: he had this hamstring thing going into week one, so

948
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 1: everyone knows, no targets, no catches for Ayu in week

949
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:54,520
Speaker 1: one and maybe you, oh, the hamstring was the thing,

950
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 1: but he was returning punts. He was a starting punt returner.

951
00:51:57,440 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 1: You don't do that with the guy who that can

952
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 1: be hamstring was not the problem. He's still ran the

953
00:52:01,239 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 1: third most pass routes on the team behind Uh, Deebo,

954
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 1: Samuel and George Kittle will still be top three. I

955
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:07,960
Speaker 1: think he gets healthier as the season goes on. So

956
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: just some level of concern, uh, but not none, some, okay,

957
00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:15,839
Speaker 1: appropriate level of concern for Brandon Aiyuk. His coach, Grudgy Grudgerton,

958
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 1: had him running with the third team wide receivers this week.

959
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 1: It was Deebo and Surefield with the first new and

960
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:27,000
Speaker 1: Joan Jennings with the second, and Auk alone as the

961
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:31,160
Speaker 1: fifth wide receiver on the depth chart. I think it's

962
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:35,239
Speaker 1: full blown panic time on Brandon Aiyuk. Shanahan's calling him

963
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:38,840
Speaker 1: out here. The correct answer is the bowel loosening levels

964
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: of existential dread blowed two years ago. We saw Kyle

965
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:46,240
Speaker 1: Shanahan dispose of another high draft pick wide receiver, Dante

966
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 1: Pettis and never looked back. A Yuk has gotta work

967
00:52:49,239 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 1: his way back all the way from the bottom of

968
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:53,120
Speaker 1: the depth chart. I'm not sure that it happens here

969
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 1: and how how long it might take to happen. So

970
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 1: let's say it does. Does it take six games? Eight games.

971
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:00,320
Speaker 1: Am I supposed to burn a roster spot that whole time?

972
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:05,480
Speaker 1: Very worried about Brandon? Are you? Tough? Question number seven?

973
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 1: Mike Evans? What's the appropriate level of concern? Matt None?

974
00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 1: He had six targets last week, and six targets is

975
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 1: okay for a down week? All right? Brian? Uh? Some

976
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 1: for me? For sure. He looks like the third option

977
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 1: at wide receiver right now, and he could be the

978
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:25,520
Speaker 1: fourth passing option behind Gronk, who look great in Week one.

979
00:53:25,560 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 1: So some level of concern for me from Mike Evans.

980
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 1: No level of concern because he does this. He has

981
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 1: disappearing games. You knew that when you drafted him, and

982
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:34,680
Speaker 1: you need to accept that nothing has changed and he'll

983
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:37,239
Speaker 1: He'll have other very good games as well as a

984
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,359
Speaker 1: high functioning passing offense, of which he is still an

985
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 1: important part. Tough question number eight, Nasey Harris, what's the

986
00:53:44,400 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 1: appropriate level of concern? Brian? We mentioned we don't like

987
00:53:47,600 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback or the offensive line in Pittsburgh that never

988
00:53:50,160 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: really helps the running back. But Najy is young. He

989
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 1: was on the field for of the snaps. The volume

990
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:57,439
Speaker 1: will be there, but he's gonna gonna have to work

991
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:00,439
Speaker 1: for it pretty hard. So some level of concern for me, Matt,

992
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 1: appropriate level of concern for Naji Harris. Ditto what Brian said,

993
00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:06,600
Speaker 1: So and I had all the same talking points to

994
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 1: question number nine. What's the appropriate level of concern for

995
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:15,879
Speaker 1: Zack Moss? Matt pants pooping panic, he can't beat out

996
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:20,240
Speaker 1: Singletary for touches? He might just be a super ordinary

997
00:54:20,480 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 1: runner ouch, Brian, what's the appropriate level of concern for

998
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 1: Zack Moss? Like you charge, I'm a Zach Moss bobo,

999
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:29,279
Speaker 1: and I still believe he's the best running back on

1000
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 1: that team. Devin Singletary is so very ordinary this week

1001
00:54:32,440 --> 00:54:34,959
Speaker 1: Moss shows us he has something, but still some level

1002
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 1: of concern. I have some level of concern too, and

1003
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:38,879
Speaker 1: especially when you can't beat out Matt Britta. I don't

1004
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 1: know what's going on with Zach Moss and what he

1005
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 1: did in college should translate to more than this, But

1006
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 1: I'm I'm very I'm I'm nervous right now to say

1007
00:54:46,719 --> 00:54:50,280
Speaker 1: the least, but I'm not ready to loosen my bowels.

1008
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:56,400
Speaker 1: And finally, tough question number ten, Appropriate level of concerned

1009
00:54:56,400 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 1: Brian for Calvin Ridley. It all goes to the quarterback

1010
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 1: right now, another QB who's looking very washed. We'll talk

1011
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:06,320
Speaker 1: about Matt Ryan very soon. But Ridley still an amazing talent.

1012
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 1: Very bad defense for Atlanta. They're gonna be throwing a lot.

1013
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 1: But some concern based on Matt Ryan, but nothing to

1014
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 1: do with Calvin Ridley. Uh, some concern for me. He's

1015
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 1: a really good player. If anyone can get him the

1016
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:20,839
Speaker 1: ball on the team, that's good. However, he might have

1017
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 1: to go like steal it from Kyle Pitts, because Kyle

1018
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:25,160
Speaker 1: Pitts is so good, you might have to just go

1019
00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 1: run and jump in front of him and intercept it

1020
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 1: from Pits. You weren't here for the A grade Kyle

1021
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:31,359
Speaker 1: Pitts last week, you know. I was, Oh you were?

1022
00:55:31,640 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 1: You weren't here for the as He should have gotten one,

1023
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 1: but it was all Matt Ryan. It was Matt Ryan's fault. Uh,

1024
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:39,920
Speaker 1: some level of concern for the reasons you guys mentioned.

1025
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan is not the same guy our first ever.

1026
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 1: The all time record holder for most correct tough questions

1027
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,239
Speaker 1: is John Tuby, who got six out of five, which

1028
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:52,959
Speaker 1: is pretty good. I don't think any of you guys

1029
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:57,440
Speaker 1: got did you. I doubt it? I never keep track. No, well,

1030
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:02,239
Speaker 1: maybe you should. San Francisco takes on Philadelphia next. Let's

1031
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:05,400
Speaker 1: talk through our situation with the Niners. Jimmy Garoppolo was

1032
00:56:05,480 --> 00:56:07,359
Speaker 1: might take a chance on me quarterback, and I've got

1033
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 1: a B grade on him. You had already heard me

1034
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 1: talk about him. Let's talk about Deebo Samuel. Last week

1035
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:16,360
Speaker 1: he played eight percent of the snaps and saw twelve targets,

1036
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 1: which was seven more than any other forty nine. No

1037
00:56:20,040 --> 00:56:23,360
Speaker 1: other forty Niner receiver even played half the snaps. He

1038
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 1: leads the league and yards after catch. One season after

1039
00:56:26,200 --> 00:56:30,359
Speaker 1: having the league's lowest shortest average throw distance with Nick

1040
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:33,520
Speaker 1: Mollins and C. J. Bethard, now Deebo Samuel he was

1041
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,200
Speaker 1: he was at two yards last year for average depth

1042
00:56:36,239 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 1: of target through one game is at eight yards. What

1043
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 1: a difference it makes when you get the ball to

1044
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:44,919
Speaker 1: Depost Samuel downfield. And now he's got the trigger man

1045
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:48,920
Speaker 1: for that in Jimmy Garoppolo. A grade for Deebo Samuel,

1046
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:51,440
Speaker 1: A grade for George Kittle, and it goes without saying

1047
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:53,480
Speaker 1: he leads all tight ends and yards after the catch

1048
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:56,799
Speaker 1: right now obvious A grade for him as well, and

1049
00:56:56,880 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 1: sticking with the past catchers, the whole a uk Shurefield

1050
00:56:59,640 --> 00:57:02,239
Speaker 1: thing with Mohammed Sanu. I'm laying off all these guys.

1051
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 1: I need we just none of them got enough playing time.

1052
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:07,359
Speaker 1: We need to watch the situation shake out. They all

1053
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:09,799
Speaker 1: split snaps last week and they were all on the

1054
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:11,640
Speaker 1: field for less than half of the game. I can't

1055
00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 1: trust any of them. Jamichael Hasty needs a goal line

1056
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:16,920
Speaker 1: opportunity and he might get it. We've seen Jeff Wilson

1057
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 1: get gold line carries in the past for Kyle Shanahan

1058
00:57:20,200 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 1: and it looks like ja Michael Hasy is that guy now.

1059
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 1: But you never know if there's going to be an

1060
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 1: opportunity to run the ball from the one, or the

1061
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:27,680
Speaker 1: two or the three yard line. So I don't want

1062
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 1: to start Jamichael Hasty here either. So now the big

1063
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:35,680
Speaker 1: question is what are you doing with Elijah Mitchell. He's

1064
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: third in yards after contact in the NFL at seventy three.

1065
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:41,960
Speaker 1: Right now, Yeah, you're kicking yourself for what you've been

1066
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,880
Speaker 1: on him. That speaks basically anyone out there who won.

1067
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:48,720
Speaker 1: He had almost all of his consistent success running to

1068
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:51,479
Speaker 1: the left side of the field, except for his thirty

1069
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 1: eight yard touchdown, which was on a wide right toss.

1070
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 1: The Eagles trot out some of their strongest defensive lineman

1071
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:02,520
Speaker 1: on that side of the field, Josh Sweat, Derek Barnett,

1072
00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 1: Javon hard hard Grave, and those guys are very good

1073
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 1: run stuffers. So this might be an uphill battle. And

1074
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 1: we know Tray Sermon is gonna be active for this

1075
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:13,800
Speaker 1: game because where he most turns out. So I just

1076
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:16,000
Speaker 1: have the C grade on Mitchell. I think Mitchell starts

1077
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:17,960
Speaker 1: this game. He did nothing to warrant him not starting

1078
00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:21,640
Speaker 1: this game. But I do expect Tray Sermon to play

1079
00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 1: a part in this game as well, and so I

1080
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 1: don't think he's going to get the overwhelming majority of

1081
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:28,400
Speaker 1: carries that Elijah Mitchell got last week. So just to

1082
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 1: C grade for Tray Sermon, I think we gotta wait

1083
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 1: and see how this thing plays out. It's not a

1084
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 1: great it's not a great matchup to begin with. He's

1085
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:38,920
Speaker 1: a week ago he was fourth string and deactivated, and

1086
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:41,439
Speaker 1: I got fantasy analysts all over my Twitter account urging

1087
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 1: you to start Tray Sermon. I think that's because they

1088
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 1: love Tray Sermon in the preseason and they have an

1089
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 1: emotional investment to not looking like an ass with their

1090
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:52,920
Speaker 1: grades in the preseason. Push all your chips in the

1091
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:55,640
Speaker 1: middle on to Michael Hasty. That's all I know. We

1092
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:57,560
Speaker 1: might talk about him a little later in the show.

1093
00:58:57,600 --> 00:58:59,560
Speaker 1: All Right, we'll find out. Let's go to the eagle side,

1094
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 1: which was very compelling. Jalen Hurts is coming off his

1095
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:06,440
Speaker 1: best ever game, a dissection of the Falcons that yielded

1096
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 1: just four in completions, three passing touchdowns, and sixty two

1097
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 1: rushing yards. Now, it was a lot of short passes,

1098
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:16,160
Speaker 1: but I don't care because that was It was a

1099
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:20,160
Speaker 1: great way to build confidence for Jalen Hurts. A fourign

1100
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 1: completion game. He was last year's lowest completion percent quarterback.

1101
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 1: So this new coaching step did exactly the right thing.

1102
00:59:28,320 --> 00:59:31,400
Speaker 1: High percentage passes and let your playmakers run with the ball.

1103
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 1: I loved it. Lost cornerback Jason Varette, and that pushes

1104
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 1: safety Dante Johnson to cornerback and pushes rookie Thomas a

1105
00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 1: Ambree or street free agents Drake Kirkpatrick or Josh Norman

1106
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:49,480
Speaker 1: onto the field. This is a major downgrade at cornerback

1107
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:52,560
Speaker 1: for them. What's the difference between a street free agent

1108
00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:58,360
Speaker 1: and on a couch is on the couch, I don't

1109
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:04,920
Speaker 1: know literal home. It's got Hobo on it. Maybe that's like,

1110
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:09,720
Speaker 1: let's talk about the targets here. For for Jalen heard

1111
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:11,600
Speaker 1: who gets an A grade. If I didn't give his grade,

1112
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:13,960
Speaker 1: it's an A grade. So I want to start with

1113
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 1: Davante smith Man. Did he looked like a natural? Oh?

1114
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 1: He looked. You'd never know he was not a veteran.

1115
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 1: He's so smooth. I loved what I saw. And without

1116
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:26,240
Speaker 1: Jason Varette, I think his chances of having a second

1117
01:00:26,240 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 1: straight very good game are very good. And the forty

1118
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:34,320
Speaker 1: secondary sure they shut down Detroit's wide receivers last week.

1119
01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:38,480
Speaker 1: Name name their receivers. I say to that B grade

1120
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 1: on DeVante Smith Jalen Reagor only a C grade because

1121
01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:45,200
Speaker 1: he's got the league's shortest average target at just one

1122
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:49,200
Speaker 1: point one yards, which is basically he falls forward, stands up,

1123
01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 1: and then they throw him the ball because we've established

1124
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:54,120
Speaker 1: you can fall basically a run play. It is basically

1125
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:57,200
Speaker 1: a running play. Um he matches up against really each

1126
01:00:57,200 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 1: of the Niners cornerbacks because he plays all across the field,

1127
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:06,760
Speaker 1: but most commonly he's going to see something called Domador Lenore, which,

1128
01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:08,439
Speaker 1: honest to God, I didn't know that was a player

1129
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 1: in the NFL until earlier this week. I think fifth

1130
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 1: round rookie making his first ever start coming this week.

1131
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 1: C grade on Jalen Reagor. Let's talk about those tight ends.

1132
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:22,600
Speaker 1: We don't know if zach Ertz is going to play. Um,

1133
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:25,000
Speaker 1: if you were fully healthy, I would be giving zach

1134
01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:27,080
Speaker 1: Or it's a B grade in this game. But if

1135
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:29,760
Speaker 1: he doesn't go, that faults Dallas Goddard up to an

1136
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 1: A grade. San Francisco just give up ninety nine yards

1137
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:36,080
Speaker 1: on a score to Detroit's tight ends, mostly t J.

1138
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 1: Hockenson and with zach Ertz if he I think this

1139
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:42,120
Speaker 1: is a very nice opportunity for Dallas Goddard. You know,

1140
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:45,400
Speaker 1: for for Arts, that's a hamstring injury, so even if

1141
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:47,640
Speaker 1: he plays, he may not finish the game. People aggravate

1142
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 1: their hamstring injuries all the time. Hurts completed twelve of

1143
01:01:52,320 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 1: thirteen passes to his tight ends last year. What do

1144
01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:59,320
Speaker 1: you think of that? I really like it. I do

1145
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:02,520
Speaker 1: like that to Jalen Hurts. If that game is not

1146
01:02:02,640 --> 01:02:05,040
Speaker 1: a mirage, Jalen Hurts is gonna be a top five,

1147
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 1: Top six fantasy quarterback was Atlanta Atlanta. It wasn't just

1148
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:11,760
Speaker 1: we don't but we don't know. Look, I want to

1149
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 1: believe trust me. You know, you go four incompletions against

1150
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 1: any NFL team. I'm pretty impressed Atlanta's picking first. Speaking

1151
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:21,760
Speaker 1: of Atlanta, we will talk about that team in a

1152
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 1: brutal matchup with the Buccaneers. Is there anybody you're going

1153
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:27,880
Speaker 1: to start? Even Calvin Ridley will find out when we

1154

1162
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 1: leagues dot Com. We turn our attention to a group

1163
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 1: of matchups, beginning with Atlanta taking on Tampa Bay. Brian

1164
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 1: it was a lousy showing for the Atlanta offense in

1165
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:21,040
Speaker 1: the first game, and now they have a tougher match

1166
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 1: up with Tampa Bay. What do you expect here? Yeah,

1167
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:26,920
Speaker 1: the lousiness was really Matt Ryan's faults. But I'm gonna

1168
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:29,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him a sea here. Did not look

1169
01:03:29,080 --> 01:03:31,160
Speaker 1: good against Philly, but in his two games against the

1170
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:35,480
Speaker 1: Bucks last year passing yards and two touchdowns, also ran

1171
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:38,640
Speaker 1: for a score in that game. I'm sure that'll happen again.

1172
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:40,680
Speaker 1: But then he had three fifty six and three in

1173
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 1: the other meetings. So Atlanta're gonna be playing from behind,

1174
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 1: They're gonna be throwing a lot. This might be the

1175
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:47,720
Speaker 1: last chance, uh for Matt Ryan to save his job,

1176
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:49,480
Speaker 1: even though he's getting paid for the next like six

1177
01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 1: years or something like that. I don't know, but uh,

1178
01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:54,640
Speaker 1: his receivers are gonna have to do all the heavy lifting.

1179
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:57,480
Speaker 1: Will start with Calvin Ridley. I guess give him a B.

1180
01:03:58,000 --> 01:03:59,960
Speaker 1: He has scored in three of his last four game

1181
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 1: aimes against Tampa Bay. Amari Cooper and Ceedee Lamb just

1182
01:04:03,440 --> 01:04:07,680
Speaker 1: combined for ridiculous numbers against the Bucks. So Ridley should rebound,

1183
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:11,840
Speaker 1: as should his receiving mate, not running mate, receiving mate

1184
01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:15,640
Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts, who also gets a B. Pits took twenty

1185
01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:18,720
Speaker 1: three snaps from the slot last week fourteen from the

1186
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:22,600
Speaker 1: outside just twelve in line ran a pass route on

1187
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:26,720
Speaker 1: eight percent of his snaps, highest among any quote unquote

1188
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:31,320
Speaker 1: tight end in Week one b for Kyle Pitts. And

1189
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 1: just because I want to will this game into a shootout,

1190
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 1: I took Russell Gages and might take a chance on

1191
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 1: me wide receiver. But the actual tight end for the

1192
01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:42,440
Speaker 1: Hawks Falcons Hawks uh is Hayden Hurst, and he is

1193
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 1: on the bench, and so is running back Mike Davis,

1194
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 1: who did not get bell Cow usage his managers wanted

1195
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:50,960
Speaker 1: to see last week Atlanta was getting blown out. But

1196
01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:53,760
Speaker 1: that said, this is a brutal matchup. The Bucks shut

1197
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:56,560
Speaker 1: down virtually every running back they saw last year, and

1198
01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 1: they did the same to Dallas last week. So I

1199
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:01,880
Speaker 1: got Davis on the bench. Start him now. Speaking of

1200
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:03,680
Speaker 1: wanting to bench running backs, let's go over to the

1201
01:05:03,680 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay side. All right, that's a good right there.

1202
01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 1: I I honestly don't know what to tell you, guys,

1203
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:12,160
Speaker 1: or anyone else listening right now, but I'm gonna give

1204
01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:15,240
Speaker 1: every Bucks back a CEE just because they all have

1205
01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 1: the potential to give you. So you're gonna be wrong

1206
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 1: on two of that canna be wrong on two of them. Again.

1207
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:23,840
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones is going to be the starter according to

1208
01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:26,480
Speaker 1: Bruce Arians and he lies and he gets them all starters,

1209
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:28,640
Speaker 1: by the way, So don't even buy into that. You

1210
01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:30,960
Speaker 1: really have to have no other options. If you got

1211
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 1: to start a Bucks back, you can start any one

1212
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:34,160
Speaker 1: of these guys and hope for ce production. But I'm

1213
01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 1: not gonna go to bad for any of them. It's

1214
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:37,360
Speaker 1: all about the past game for Tampa Bay, starting with

1215
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:40,280
Speaker 1: Chris god when he gets an A. Fourteen targets led

1216
01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:42,600
Speaker 1: the way for the Bucks. Last week, Davanta Smith and

1217
01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:48,200
Speaker 1: Jalen Reagor both scored against Atlanta. Godwin has eight touchdowns

1218
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:51,760
Speaker 1: over his last five games against Atlanta, scoring in every

1219
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:55,960
Speaker 1: single one, three in his two games with Brady last year.

1220
01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:59,280
Speaker 1: And speaking of three touchdowns across to Atlanta games with Brady,

1221
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:03,720
Speaker 1: that's what Tonio Brown did last year two, including eleven catches,

1222
01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 1: one thirty eight yards and two touchdowns. In the most

1223
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 1: recent game he gets an A as well. And just

1224
01:06:09,160 --> 01:06:11,040
Speaker 1: for fun, I'll throw in the fact that when with

1225
01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:14,680
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh in eighteen, Antonio Brown had six catches, a hundred

1226
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:17,200
Speaker 1: and one yards and two touchdowns against the Falcons, so

1227
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 1: very good touchdown scoring history for Brown against Atlanta. Not

1228
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 1: a good touchdown scoring history for Mike Evans just to

1229
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:27,680
Speaker 1: see for him. Only two touchdowns across his last five

1230
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:30,120
Speaker 1: games against Atlanta, and both of those touchdowns came in

1231
01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:34,240
Speaker 1: Week seventeen of eighteen, So Evans on a dry spell

1232
01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 1: against the Falcons, just to see for him. I'll give

1233
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:40,640
Speaker 1: Gronk a B though he appears ahead of the pecking

1234
01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:44,360
Speaker 1: order h than Evans m receiving receiving depth chart six

1235
01:06:44,400 --> 01:06:47,240
Speaker 1: catches seventy six yards and a touchdown surrendered by the

1236
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:50,200
Speaker 1: Falcons to Phillies tight ends last week. Gronk looked great

1237
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:53,840
Speaker 1: in Week one, So getting up Gronk. And lastly, Tom

1238
01:06:53,880 --> 01:06:58,000
Speaker 1: Brady gets a unless he takes too much botox over

1239
01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:00,200
Speaker 1: the weekend or something that I don't know. Do you

1240
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:03,360
Speaker 1: ever I had to take take he takes botox, absolutely,

1241
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:06,840
Speaker 1: you don't. I don't. I don't know. Work has been

1242
01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 1: done and now we're not talking offseason conditioning. There has

1243
01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:11,080
Speaker 1: been something. You know, when Gazelle goes in, do you

1244
01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:14,240
Speaker 1: think they bo go that? Like? You know, why not?

1245
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 1: If Giselle is getting work done, why not get a

1246
01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:19,120
Speaker 1: little tom They have their own plastic surgeon like caged

1247
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:21,560
Speaker 1: up in their basement. For on the me, you live

1248
01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:24,440
Speaker 1: in a suburban neighborhood, do they have botox parties in

1249
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:26,440
Speaker 1: your neighborhood? You're doing My wife and I were just

1250
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:28,640
Speaker 1: talking about this. This has turned into a thing that

1251
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:31,360
Speaker 1: almost entirely women do. I've never heard of any guys

1252
01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:34,960
Speaker 1: having a botox party, but women are doing that now. Bradies.

1253
01:07:35,160 --> 01:07:38,920
Speaker 1: Ears are burning right now, Minnesota. I can take my

1254
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:43,120
Speaker 1: jet there. Tennessee takes on Seattle matt And for Tennessee,

1255
01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:46,160
Speaker 1: the opening game could not have gone worse. And this

1256
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:48,160
Speaker 1: is not a layoup matchup either. What do you think?

1257
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:50,040
Speaker 1: It's not a layoup matchup? But I got a lot

1258
01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:53,040
Speaker 1: of good grades for the Titans here. Um. The worst

1259
01:07:53,080 --> 01:07:55,560
Speaker 1: of them goes to Derrick Henry, who I'm only giving

1260
01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:57,840
Speaker 1: a B grade to disappointing week for Henry where the

1261
01:07:57,920 --> 01:08:01,200
Speaker 1: only tallied fifty eight rushing yards on three point four

1262
01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:04,440
Speaker 1: yards per carry and was stuffed at the goal line twice.

1263
01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:08,760
Speaker 1: That's not offensive line was so bad? Last week? Uh?

1264
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 1: This week he faces a Seattle team that held Jonathan

1265
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:15,040
Speaker 1: Taylor and Nahem Hines to a very respectable three point

1266
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:18,240
Speaker 1: five yards per carry. So I think this is gonna

1267
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:20,920
Speaker 1: be a shootout though, and uh, there's an over under

1268
01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:25,200
Speaker 1: a fifty four on this game. I got Julio and

1269
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:29,200
Speaker 1: A J. Brown both at A grades. Both both are

1270
01:08:29,240 --> 01:08:33,360
Speaker 1: physical mismatches for Seattle's five eight starting corner DJ Reid.

1271
01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:35,840
Speaker 1: A J. Brown ran more of his routes from that

1272
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:37,760
Speaker 1: side of the field, while Julio lined up on the

1273
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:40,760
Speaker 1: left side of the of the field sixty percent of

1274
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:43,479
Speaker 1: the time. So he'll get Trey Flowers, who gave up

1275
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:46,559
Speaker 1: a passer rating of one oh six last year. I

1276
01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:48,519
Speaker 1: got a grades on both of them, and I got

1277
01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:51,760
Speaker 1: a grade on Ryan Tannehill as well. Uh, Seattle does

1278
01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:54,320
Speaker 1: not deploy Chandler Jones, I have reason to believe. So

1279
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 1: I imagined Tannehill doesn't get sacked five times by him

1280
01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:59,519
Speaker 1: this week. Uh, he probably will get a little more

1281
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:01,880
Speaker 1: time in the pocket. By the way, I mentioned this

1282
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:06,280
Speaker 1: last week, Tan Hill ran in another touchdown, his seventh

1283
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:11,400
Speaker 1: rushing score in his last eight. With Derrick Henry on roster, right,

1284
01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:14,840
Speaker 1: you wouldn't think and Henry got stuff twice. This is

1285
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:16,840
Speaker 1: becoming a trend. Do you think they have a new

1286
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:19,240
Speaker 1: goal line back. No, but Henry is a perfect decoy.

1287
01:09:19,360 --> 01:09:23,000
Speaker 1: Everybody gears up to stop Derrick Henry and then Tannehill

1288
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:25,720
Speaker 1: could just squeeze through. So a grade on Daniel. He's

1289
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:28,599
Speaker 1: gonna get into the rushing score. That offensive line has

1290
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:31,000
Speaker 1: to play way better. These grades are gonna be nuts. Yeah,

1291
01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:34,040
Speaker 1: it might be Russell Wilson. I'm giving him an a grade,

1292
01:09:34,080 --> 01:09:38,599
Speaker 1: so is dk Metcalf. Russ is doing some early season

1293
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:43,160
Speaker 1: cooking head an eighty five percent adjusted completion percentage last

1294
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:45,920
Speaker 1: week and an average depth of target that was ten

1295
01:09:46,040 --> 01:09:48,960
Speaker 1: point nine, second highest in the league. The Titans just

1296
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:51,840
Speaker 1: allowed Kyler Murray to go for two eighty nine and four,

1297
01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:55,800
Speaker 1: but also spent December of last year giving up three

1298
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:59,280
Speaker 1: or more touchdown passes to Deshaun Watson, Aaron Rodgers, and

1299
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:02,760
Speaker 1: Baker may Field. They're a bad secondary. The alpha wide

1300
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:05,840
Speaker 1: receiver always eats against the Titans. Five of the last

1301
01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:08,880
Speaker 1: six of the top wide receivers they faced have gone

1302
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:11,960
Speaker 1: for at least ninety yards and to score. I'm not

1303
01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:14,400
Speaker 1: even I'm even going to give Tyler Lockett an a

1304
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:18,320
Speaker 1: grade here because he gets Titan slot cornerback Elijah Molden.

1305
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:21,880
Speaker 1: He came in one place out of a hundred and

1306
01:10:21,920 --> 01:10:24,759
Speaker 1: twenty eight corners in Pro Football Focus Week one grading,

1307
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:27,479
Speaker 1: and he gets Tyler Lockett. For the most part, you

1308
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:29,640
Speaker 1: gotta pick your spot to lock it. But obviously when

1309
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:33,680
Speaker 1: he goes Bersark like last week, Gerald Everett, he's on

1310
01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:36,280
Speaker 1: the bench. The Titans did not allow a tight end

1311
01:10:36,320 --> 01:10:39,160
Speaker 1: reception last week, but the Cardinals don't have a tight

1312
01:10:39,320 --> 01:10:42,920
Speaker 1: end since Dan Arnold left, so that's something. Ever, only

1313
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:45,400
Speaker 1: caught two passes last week, but no tight end has

1314
01:10:45,479 --> 01:10:48,960
Speaker 1: topped fifty yards and only two have scored on the

1315
01:10:49,040 --> 01:10:53,360
Speaker 1: Titans since Week twelve. Of Finally, Chris Carson, I'm giving

1316
01:10:53,439 --> 01:10:56,320
Speaker 1: him a B grade. Nineteen touches last week. That was

1317
01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:59,719
Speaker 1: the twelfth most in the league. Surprisingly, the cards runners

1318
01:10:59,800 --> 01:11:02,920
Speaker 1: to Old thirty two touches last week for a hundred

1319
01:11:02,960 --> 01:11:05,599
Speaker 1: and fifty nine total yards, and well, Car's got out

1320
01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:08,880
Speaker 1: by the huge leads. Well Carson won't get that many.

1321
01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 1: D J. Dallas and Rashad Penny only had two touches

1322
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:17,080
Speaker 1: and Penny's hurt. Now he's it's Chris Carson's backfield. Minnesota

1323
01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 1: takes on Arizona. Let's talk Kirk Cousins for a minute.

1324
01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:24,080
Speaker 1: After seeing what Chandler Jones did to Ryan Tannehill, and

1325
01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:27,920
Speaker 1: knowing the Vikings have a replacement left tackle, I'm worried

1326
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:31,680
Speaker 1: that Kirk Cousins will need spleen replacement surgery before this

1327
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:34,080
Speaker 1: game is over. And in case it comes to that,

1328
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:35,439
Speaker 1: by the way, let it be known that I am

1329
01:11:35,479 --> 01:11:38,320
Speaker 1: not a qualified spleen donor due to my history of

1330
01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:42,800
Speaker 1: leprosy and oral herpies. Minnesota will need to find creative

1331
01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:45,360
Speaker 1: ways what just happened to get the ball well, because

1332
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:48,520
Speaker 1: I would normally give my spleen to Kirk uh Minnesota

1333
01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:50,360
Speaker 1: will need to find creative ways to get the ball

1334
01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:54,120
Speaker 1: out of Kirk Kirk's hands very quickly. And I'm envisioning

1335
01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:56,960
Speaker 1: a lot of quick timing routes, dump off passes, and

1336
01:11:57,040 --> 01:11:58,880
Speaker 1: I'm worried that they're not going to be able to

1337
01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:02,280
Speaker 1: strike down feet in this game. And that's why I've

1338
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:05,639
Speaker 1: got modest B grades on Justin Jefferson and Adam Thelan

1339
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:09,120
Speaker 1: similar stories really for both guys. Again, short passes could

1340
01:12:09,160 --> 01:12:11,720
Speaker 1: be an issue here, and they both line up all

1341
01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:14,760
Speaker 1: over the field and they go up against three lousy cornerbacks,

1342
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:18,080
Speaker 1: you get disappointing second round pick Byron Murphy and the

1343
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:23,000
Speaker 1: slot diminutive Robert Alford who's played one game since the season,

1344
01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:26,920
Speaker 1: and fourth round rookie Marco Wilson manning the UH as well.

1345
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:29,800
Speaker 1: That put all those guys together, then there isn't a

1346
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:31,439
Speaker 1: lot of talent there. But a j Green and Julio

1347
01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:34,360
Speaker 1: Jones couldn't exploit that matchup because their quarterback then any time,

1348
01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:36,920
Speaker 1: and that could be the whole same scenario here. So

1349
01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:40,320
Speaker 1: just to be great on Jefferson and theland, Dalvin Cook

1350
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:43,519
Speaker 1: just a B grade if you're you know, obviously you're

1351
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:47,519
Speaker 1: starting Dalvin every week, obviously, but look what Derrick Henry

1352
01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:50,760
Speaker 1: did last week. Not much. And you know this was

1353
01:12:50,840 --> 01:12:53,680
Speaker 1: a good run defense last year. They were good run

1354
01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:57,599
Speaker 1: defense last week. Arizona only allowed one hundred combo yards

1355
01:12:57,680 --> 01:13:01,840
Speaker 1: to a running back two times last year. Fortunately, they

1356
01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:04,760
Speaker 1: did allow the ninth most touchdowns. And we know that

1357
01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:06,920
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook's going to get the ball near the stripe,

1358
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:09,160
Speaker 1: so we'll hope for a touchdown here and that keeps

1359
01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:11,360
Speaker 1: him at the B grade level. By the way, are

1360
01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:14,400
Speaker 1: the Titans and the Vikings the most mirror imaged teams

1361
01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:19,960
Speaker 1: and so much so similar agreed Arizona's Kyler Murray and

1362
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:23,800
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins are obvious A grades, and Hopkins has a

1363
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:25,880
Speaker 1: ten out of ten in my grading system and Kyler

1364
01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:27,680
Speaker 1: Murray has a nine point seven five out of ten.

1365
01:13:27,800 --> 01:13:30,519
Speaker 1: So I love both guys this week. Let's quibble with

1366
01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:37,240
Speaker 1: that nine point seven five, okay, um, Let's talk about

1367
01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:39,400
Speaker 1: some of the other receivers. Get this. A J. Green

1368
01:13:39,479 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 1: played from the right side of the field one percent

1369
01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:45,280
Speaker 1: of his snaps last week, and he was overwhelmingly on

1370
01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:49,120
Speaker 1: the field. That puts him against Vikings cornerback Bishot Brelan,

1371
01:13:49,400 --> 01:13:52,040
Speaker 1: who got roasted last week, allowing two scores in a

1372
01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:55,320
Speaker 1: hundred seven yards in his coverage. A J. Green gets

1373
01:13:55,360 --> 01:13:59,280
Speaker 1: a sneaky C grade here. And I know I posted

1374
01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:01,120
Speaker 1: this stat mid week and it was like, oh, A J.

1375
01:14:01,240 --> 01:14:05,559
Speaker 1: Green's cooked, But did you see purshot Brelan Green should

1376
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:07,200
Speaker 1: have scored last week? It was one of the one

1377
01:14:07,240 --> 01:14:09,200
Speaker 1: of the bad throws Kyler Murray made was an end

1378
01:14:09,240 --> 01:14:11,160
Speaker 1: zone target to A J. Green. Better ball place and

1379
01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:13,040
Speaker 1: he would have scored a touchdown. I was watching rooting

1380
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:14,599
Speaker 1: for it actively, trust me now, like I had any

1381
01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:17,120
Speaker 1: money on it or anything. No, certainly not. Christian Kirk

1382
01:14:17,640 --> 01:14:21,240
Speaker 1: has has replaced Larry Fitzgerald in the slot and he

1383
01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:25,240
Speaker 1: faces off against solid cornerback McKenzie Alexander. Alexander is only

1384
01:14:25,240 --> 01:14:30,080
Speaker 1: allowed three touchdowns in the past five seasons, so we

1385
01:14:30,200 --> 01:14:33,080
Speaker 1: will will put just a seagret in Christian Kirk even

1386
01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:36,560
Speaker 1: after the two touchdown game last week. Uh. Then the

1387
01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:39,720
Speaker 1: running backs Chase Edmonds fifteen touches last week, which is

1388
01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:42,320
Speaker 1: gonna be pretty common enough work to start in, but

1389
01:14:42,479 --> 01:14:46,680
Speaker 1: not enough work for explosive output. Thank you, Matt. I

1390
01:14:46,720 --> 01:14:48,439
Speaker 1: thought he ran the ball pretty well most five yards

1391
01:14:48,479 --> 01:14:50,600
Speaker 1: per carrying. The opener run defense was supposed to be

1392
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:52,200
Speaker 1: better than it was last week, and it probably does

1393
01:14:52,240 --> 01:14:54,640
Speaker 1: get a little bit better here, but still an opportunity

1394
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:58,000
Speaker 1: to start Chase Edmonds for a C grade. James Conner

1395
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:00,800
Speaker 1: actually had more rushes rushes than ed Men's last week,

1396
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:02,600
Speaker 1: but a lot of that was in a blowout and

1397
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:05,080
Speaker 1: the Colonels could have a blow out victory here too,

1398
01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:08,320
Speaker 1: but probably not if you believe the Vegas line of

1399
01:15:08,360 --> 01:15:10,439
Speaker 1: only three and a half, so I'm pretty lukewarm and

1400
01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:13,599
Speaker 1: Connor and just a C grade on him. Rondel Moore

1401
01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:16,840
Speaker 1: running from the slot almost exclusively behind Christian Kirk Kirk

1402
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:20,040
Speaker 1: and fourth among wide receivers and only ran fourteen routes

1403
01:15:20,120 --> 01:15:23,160
Speaker 1: last week, so he is on the bench when we

1404
01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:26,760
Speaker 1: come back. Premature speculation. Three guys who want to pick

1405
01:15:26,840 --> 01:15:29,360
Speaker 1: up this week that everybody else will be trying to

1406
01:15:29,520 --> 01:15:49,719
Speaker 1: pick up next week. Glamor final segment Fantasy Football Weekly.

1407
01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:53,600
Speaker 1: Paul Charge, Matt Harrison, and Brian Johnson with you. This

1408
01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:56,680
Speaker 1: is a segment we call premature speculation. We're gonna give

1409
01:15:56,680 --> 01:15:58,479
Speaker 1: you three guys to pick up this week that everybody

1410
01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:00,680
Speaker 1: else is gonna try to pick up next week. But

1411
01:16:01,479 --> 01:16:05,719
Speaker 1: they're already on your team because you're winded the time machine.

1412
01:16:05,840 --> 01:16:08,280
Speaker 1: That's what that sounds was a time machine. There is

1413
01:16:08,479 --> 01:16:11,320
Speaker 1: Matt who should people pick up? Jim Michael Hasty because

1414
01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:14,720
Speaker 1: Shanahanigans everyone drafted Trace Sermon, then he made him in

1415
01:16:14,880 --> 01:16:17,960
Speaker 1: active in week one because Hasty was out playing him

1416
01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:20,240
Speaker 1: in practice, and then everybody picked up Ali Jam Mitchell

1417
01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:23,040
Speaker 1: to start him this week. But what player has one

1418
01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:26,200
Speaker 1: of the rushing attempts from inside the ten yard line.

1419
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:28,960
Speaker 1: That's Jim Michael Hasty. He's gonna have a role all

1420
01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:31,400
Speaker 1: year now with Raheem Mostar had gone to so pick

1421
01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:33,559
Speaker 1: him up at LEAs until Jeff Wilson comes back. It's

1422
01:16:33,600 --> 01:16:36,320
Speaker 1: just a long way off. Brian, I have the Jets,

1423
01:16:36,439 --> 01:16:39,360
Speaker 1: Jamison crowd are only owned and y'ah who leaves all

1424
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:41,320
Speaker 1: of a sudden off the COVID list. He has a

1425
01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:44,639
Speaker 1: groin issue he's dealing with, but should make his debut

1426
01:16:45,120 --> 01:16:46,760
Speaker 1: this week. And hey, the Jets through the ball over

1427
01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:48,880
Speaker 1: seventy percent of the time last week. That could be uh,

1428
01:16:49,000 --> 01:16:50,720
Speaker 1: that's probably gonna be a trend all year long. And

1429
01:16:50,760 --> 01:16:53,400
Speaker 1: Crowder could be the most desirable receiver on the Jets

1430
01:16:53,439 --> 01:16:55,160
Speaker 1: in a week or two, So go get him now.

1431
01:16:56,000 --> 01:16:59,920
Speaker 1: Chargers rookie running back Larry Roundtree played twenty one snap

1432
01:17:00,120 --> 01:17:04,519
Speaker 1: on offense. That is double who what everybody that presumed

1433
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:08,599
Speaker 1: backup Justin Jackson, He ain't the backup. It's Larry Rountree

1434
01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:12,639
Speaker 1: and Josh Kelly got no snaps last week none. Round

1435
01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:14,880
Speaker 1: Tree ran the ball eight times. That is a lot

1436
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:17,880
Speaker 1: for a first start rookie. With Austin Ekeler's on the team,

1437
01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:20,320
Speaker 1: he's big, he could end up being in some getting

1438
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:22,680
Speaker 1: some goal line carries at some point. And here's the

1439
01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:26,200
Speaker 1: real key to the game we just saw with Larry Rountree,

1440
01:17:27,080 --> 01:17:30,360
Speaker 1: despite playing one third of the snaps of Eckler. He

1441
01:17:30,520 --> 01:17:36,880
Speaker 1: had more pass blocking assignments than Eckler did, and he

1442
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:41,240
Speaker 1: finished his Pro Football Focus is top ranked running back

1443
01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:46,280
Speaker 1: in pass blocking. Larry Roundtree may phase out some third

1444
01:17:46,360 --> 01:17:51,439
Speaker 1: down work from Austin Ekeler, who caught no passes last week. Interesting. Ha,

1445
01:17:52,000 --> 01:17:55,640
Speaker 1: you don't say Larry Rountree backing up a player who

1446
01:17:55,680 --> 01:17:59,679
Speaker 1: gets hurt often. Let's go back to the matchups, beginning

1447
01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:04,760
Speaker 1: with Dallas taking on the Chargers. Brian starting with Zeke

1448
01:18:04,840 --> 01:18:07,360
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys. Another very tough matchup for Zeke, who

1449
01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:09,560
Speaker 1: will probably be forc into more blocking duty again with

1450
01:18:09,680 --> 01:18:12,680
Speaker 1: Lyle Collins right tackle. Uh to miss this game in

1451
01:18:12,760 --> 01:18:16,920
Speaker 1: multiple weeks. Washington backs UH, mainly Antonio Gibson did go

1452
01:18:17,080 --> 01:18:19,840
Speaker 1: for one seven rushing yards on twenty three carries against

1453
01:18:19,880 --> 01:18:22,320
Speaker 1: the Chargers. UH, so there is some hope for Zeke.

1454
01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:27,240
Speaker 1: The football team also targeted their back seven times against

1455
01:18:27,280 --> 01:18:29,559
Speaker 1: the Chargers. But that's why I'm going with Tony Pollard.

1456
01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:32,240
Speaker 1: It's might take a chance on me running back over

1457
01:18:32,320 --> 01:18:35,120
Speaker 1: to the Dallas wide receivers of Marii Cooper and Ceedee Lamb.

1458
01:18:35,240 --> 01:18:37,200
Speaker 1: Gonna give them both a b. Even though the return

1459
01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:40,439
Speaker 1: of safety Durwin James has been huge for l A.

1460
01:18:40,880 --> 01:18:44,280
Speaker 1: They held Washington's wide outs to eighties seven total scoreless

1461
01:18:44,360 --> 01:18:47,360
Speaker 1: yards last week. But Dak and his wide receiver weapons

1462
01:18:47,400 --> 01:18:49,640
Speaker 1: will be a bigger test than the football team was.

1463
01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:51,640
Speaker 1: Michael Gallup, if you didn't know already is on I

1464
01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:55,000
Speaker 1: R so Cedric Wilson could sneak in some production if

1465
01:18:55,040 --> 01:18:57,439
Speaker 1: this game goes to shootout mode. I almost used Cedric

1466
01:18:57,479 --> 01:19:00,080
Speaker 1: Wilson as my premature speculation. I'm gonna give him an

1467
01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:02,880
Speaker 1: official bench grade, but he is a daily dart throw

1468
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:06,240
Speaker 1: candidate for sure. And Blake Darwin and Dalton Schultz. If

1469
01:19:06,240 --> 01:19:08,880
Speaker 1: we could combine these guys into one person that maybe

1470
01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:11,559
Speaker 1: a top ten tight end, but they are both playing,

1471
01:19:11,640 --> 01:19:13,960
Speaker 1: so they are both on the bench for me this week.

1472
01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:16,479
Speaker 1: And lastly, Dak Prescott getting give him an a even

1473
01:19:16,520 --> 01:19:18,240
Speaker 1: though it wait, well, well you did, even though you

1474
01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:21,080
Speaker 1: didn't love the receivers so much. He's I think he's

1475
01:19:21,080 --> 01:19:23,600
Speaker 1: gonna throw the ball. Well he gets all of them right.

1476
01:19:23,680 --> 01:19:26,639
Speaker 1: I don't know. If I'm Cooper and Lamb, could DA's

1477
01:19:26,680 --> 01:19:28,960
Speaker 1: gonna throw the ball forty times get in this game?

1478
01:19:28,960 --> 01:19:30,720
Speaker 1: They should probably not even attempt to run the ball.

1479
01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:33,800
Speaker 1: If they do that after making him throw fifty eight

1480
01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:37,200
Speaker 1: times in the opener. That's malpractice, But uh, we'll give

1481
01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:39,639
Speaker 1: it up a soft A. But speaking of a's over

1482
01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:42,639
Speaker 1: to the Chargers side. Keenan Allen gets an A plus.

1483
01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:46,479
Speaker 1: Mike Williams also gets an A. See what I did there? Yeah,

1484
01:19:46,680 --> 01:19:48,720
Speaker 1: I thought you're gonna give out a Fonzie. Maybe I

1485
01:19:48,720 --> 01:19:50,240
Speaker 1: should have given out a funds if you give out

1486
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:52,719
Speaker 1: the art Park and well you get the Fonzie. Fonzi

1487
01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:54,760
Speaker 1: is superior to the art Park. Anyway. You know we

1488
01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:58,360
Speaker 1: don't have enough. Why is it that I have? Well,

1489
01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:05,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't Winkler come after us legally? If A for Keenan Allen,

1490
01:20:05,439 --> 01:20:07,920
Speaker 1: but again in A for Mike Williams as well, no

1491
01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:10,920
Speaker 1: reason not you think these two can't replicate the spanking

1492
01:20:11,240 --> 01:20:14,519
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin Antonio Brown gave the Cowboys last week. Both

1493
01:20:14,560 --> 01:20:17,479
Speaker 1: Allen and william saw ten plus targets against Washington. Jared

1494
01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:20,880
Speaker 1: Cook gets a B two. Gronk scored twice against Dallas.

1495
01:20:20,960 --> 01:20:24,639
Speaker 1: Cook had two red zone receptions against Washington. Also average

1496
01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:27,200
Speaker 1: eleven yards after the catch. Love Jared Cook this week,

1497
01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:29,679
Speaker 1: and that's available in a lot of leaks. He should

1498
01:20:29,720 --> 01:20:32,040
Speaker 1: not be because tight end is slowly becoming a waste

1499
01:20:32,120 --> 01:20:34,280
Speaker 1: land again or quickly, I should say. And justin air

1500
01:20:34,360 --> 01:20:36,560
Speaker 1: Bear guessing a all he need is the soundbar to

1501
01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:40,479
Speaker 1: justify this play. There you go, air Bear, and now

1502
01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:44,040
Speaker 1: charge you were just poo pooing all over Austin Ekeler.

1503
01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:46,000
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna give him an a despite not being

1504
01:20:46,040 --> 01:20:49,519
Speaker 1: targeted like you said, but uh, that's a scary thing.

1505
01:20:49,600 --> 01:20:52,719
Speaker 1: But Eckler did have the hamstring issue that hasn't popped

1506
01:20:52,760 --> 01:20:55,080
Speaker 1: up all week so far, knock on wood, so I

1507
01:20:55,160 --> 01:20:57,200
Speaker 1: expect the usage to ramp up a little bit. He

1508
01:20:57,240 --> 01:21:00,200
Speaker 1: did have the goal line touchdown and the Bucks did Uh.

1509
01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:03,960
Speaker 1: The Bucks backs did total seven catches against Dallas last week,

1510
01:21:04,160 --> 01:21:06,519
Speaker 1: so I'm calling a target and at least one catch.

1511
01:21:07,439 --> 01:21:10,280
Speaker 1: Very very bold prediction for Rawson. Give him an though

1512
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:14,520
Speaker 1: I hope they overcorrect and give Austin Neckler like fourteen

1513
01:21:14,600 --> 01:21:18,720
Speaker 1: targets in each. That would be fantastic. Detroit takes on

1514
01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:23,960
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers. Detroit's offense ultimately was pretty good

1515
01:21:23,960 --> 01:21:27,360
Speaker 1: in garbage time and we already did you give. I

1516
01:21:27,400 --> 01:21:29,839
Speaker 1: gave Jared Goffs might take a chance and the passer

1517
01:21:30,040 --> 01:21:32,280
Speaker 1: h T J. Hockenson is the only receiver I would

1518
01:21:32,280 --> 01:21:34,759
Speaker 1: start here. He gets an a actually might get Waller

1519
01:21:34,920 --> 01:21:37,680
Speaker 1: level targets this year, and the Packers did did give

1520
01:21:37,760 --> 01:21:40,000
Speaker 1: up two scores to Jawan Johnson in the end zone

1521
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:43,519
Speaker 1: last week. Five different wide receivers had two catches for

1522
01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:47,200
Speaker 1: the Lions. No one wide receiver top three catches for

1523
01:21:47,280 --> 01:21:51,639
Speaker 1: the Lions. And then finally on the on the Lions side,

1524
01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:54,960
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell did not lie. Jamal Williams and DeAndre Swift

1525
01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:58,599
Speaker 1: were used almost equally, although Swift lad the snap count

1526
01:21:58,680 --> 01:22:02,200
Speaker 1: total almost two to on. Williams touched the ball on

1527
01:22:02,360 --> 01:22:05,200
Speaker 1: over half of his snaps last week and Swift only

1528
01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:08,160
Speaker 1: led the touch count by two. Each had eight receptions.

1529
01:22:08,240 --> 01:22:10,720
Speaker 1: By the way, that's big, that's and I think that's

1530
01:22:10,760 --> 01:22:12,679
Speaker 1: gonna hold up. I think it will to The Saints.

1531
01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:15,080
Speaker 1: Runners combined for thirty five touches in a hundred and

1532
01:22:15,160 --> 01:22:17,639
Speaker 1: forty four yards against this defense last week, and that's

1533
01:22:17,680 --> 01:22:20,160
Speaker 1: not outlandish for this week based on the usage of

1534
01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:23,360
Speaker 1: these runners as receivers. So I will give Swift a

1535
01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:26,000
Speaker 1: B grade and Williams a solid C grade in the

1536
01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:30,679
Speaker 1: revenge game on the Packers side, so Jeff Okuda tore

1537
01:22:30,760 --> 01:22:35,400
Speaker 1: his achilles last week, which means Davante Adams gets Pro

1538
01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:39,559
Speaker 1: Football focuses number one, number two, or number nine wide

1539
01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:43,519
Speaker 1: receiver cornerback matchup based on which corner he's going against,

1540
01:22:44,040 --> 01:22:48,320
Speaker 1: whether that's A. J. Parker, if At melafon Wu or

1541
01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:54,639
Speaker 1: Armani or ru Wame I went phonetically on that one.

1542
01:22:55,360 --> 01:22:57,320
Speaker 1: Adams gets an A. I think you can roll with

1543
01:22:57,439 --> 01:23:01,080
Speaker 1: Marcus Valdez scantling with a B rade as well. MVS

1544
01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:04,360
Speaker 1: led all packers and targets last week with eight. Notably,

1545
01:23:04,479 --> 01:23:09,160
Speaker 1: Randall Cobb had one target, as did Mario Rodgers. Bob

1546
01:23:09,280 --> 01:23:12,000
Speaker 1: Tanyan scored in both of the meetings last year against

1547
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:14,680
Speaker 1: the Lions. He gets a solid B as well. If

1548
01:23:14,720 --> 01:23:16,840
Speaker 1: I like all the receivers, I like Aaron Rodgers as

1549
01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:19,280
Speaker 1: an A grade. In his last ten games against the Lions,

1550
01:23:19,320 --> 01:23:22,479
Speaker 1: where he started and finished, Rodgers has thrown for multiple

1551
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:26,840
Speaker 1: scores in ten of those ten games. A J. Dillon

1552
01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:29,439
Speaker 1: was charged just take a chance on me runner, and

1553
01:23:29,560 --> 01:23:32,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones gets an A grade in this one. The

1554
01:23:32,160 --> 01:23:34,720
Speaker 1: Lions are the worst run defense in the league since

1555
01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:37,600
Speaker 1: the beginning of and it didn't change last week with

1556
01:23:37,640 --> 01:23:41,519
Speaker 1: the Niners backs totaling fifty one total yards and two

1557
01:23:41,640 --> 01:23:45,840
Speaker 1: scores on twenty four touches. That's six point three yards

1558
01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:49,479
Speaker 1: per touch for opposing runners. Will take it, Aaron Jones

1559
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:52,160
Speaker 1: gonna both the whole team's bouncing back with a great

1560
01:23:52,240 --> 01:23:55,600
Speaker 1: game for the Green Bay Packers. The last time that

1561
01:23:55,960 --> 01:24:01,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers had a bad game was last year Tampa Bay.

1562
01:24:01,360 --> 01:24:04,680
Speaker 1: His third worst career passer rating game was Tampa Bay

1563
01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:08,200
Speaker 1: last year. Doesn't like playing in Florida. The next week,

1564
01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:13,479
Speaker 1: he threw four touchdowns. Kansas City takes on Baltimore. You

1565
01:24:13,520 --> 01:24:15,960
Speaker 1: already know that Patrick Mahomes, a, Tyree Kill and Travis

1566
01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:19,639
Speaker 1: Kelsey are automatic A grades and this matchup will does

1567
01:24:19,760 --> 01:24:25,400
Speaker 1: changes nothing that it so juicy, so juicy. Let's talk

1568
01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:28,160
Speaker 1: about some of the players that you actually have to

1569
01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:31,559
Speaker 1: give some consideration to, including Clyde Edwards a laire. If

1570
01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:35,960
Speaker 1: you take away c E. H is two explosive games

1571
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:38,320
Speaker 1: he's had in his career. One was Houston, one is Buffalo.

1572
01:24:39,240 --> 01:24:42,880
Speaker 1: The rest of his games, he averages forty five rushing

1573
01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:47,560
Speaker 1: yards and has scored three touchdowns. That sounds just like

1574
01:24:47,760 --> 01:24:51,519
Speaker 1: his forty three yard three yard per Carrie stinker that

1575
01:24:51,600 --> 01:24:55,120
Speaker 1: he gave us last week, you're hoping for receptions from

1576
01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:58,679
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards a laire and he had seventy receiving yards

1577
01:24:58,880 --> 01:25:01,280
Speaker 1: last year against Balti More and they're in their matchup

1578
01:25:01,360 --> 01:25:04,400
Speaker 1: and the Ravens just allowed eighty seven yards to the

1579
01:25:04,560 --> 01:25:07,200
Speaker 1: Raiders backs through the air. So he might help us

1580
01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:09,600
Speaker 1: out that way. And that's why I've got a C

1581
01:25:09,840 --> 01:25:11,880
Speaker 1: grade on Clyde Edwards, a layer in the hopes that

1582
01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:15,360
Speaker 1: he does help us out from a PPR pass reception standpoint.

1583
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:20,439
Speaker 1: Um the other wide receivers, DeMarcus Robinson and Nicole Hardman,

1584
01:25:20,520 --> 01:25:23,120
Speaker 1: it just they're on the field enough, the snap count

1585
01:25:23,200 --> 01:25:26,000
Speaker 1: is there, they should contribute something. But even say it's

1586
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:28,920
Speaker 1: for years, they never do. So we're just gonna move on.

1587
01:25:29,200 --> 01:25:31,840
Speaker 1: And they've never been reliable fantasy producers and I can't

1588
01:25:31,840 --> 01:25:34,559
Speaker 1: expect it here. Let's go over to the Baltimore side,

1589
01:25:34,560 --> 01:25:37,519
Speaker 1: where it's a little bit more intriguing. Let's start with

1590
01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:42,559
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. Get this, he has not reached two hundred

1591
01:25:42,680 --> 01:25:46,400
Speaker 1: fifty passing yards, which is not that much, by the way,

1592
01:25:46,680 --> 01:25:51,160
Speaker 1: Like Matt Jones just hit it in his first NFL start,

1593
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:54,960
Speaker 1: Jackson has not reached two d fifty passing yards in

1594
01:25:55,280 --> 01:26:00,240
Speaker 1: nineteen straight games, and I'm not terribly optimistic about his

1595
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:04,240
Speaker 1: chances of rebounding against a far superior defense. If the

1596
01:26:04,360 --> 01:26:08,200
Speaker 1: Ravens could not handle Max Crosby, what happens when they

1597
01:26:08,240 --> 01:26:13,759
Speaker 1: face Chris Jones and All Pro left tackle Ronnie Staley

1598
01:26:13,840 --> 01:26:16,240
Speaker 1: is gonna miss this game? And I top all that.

1599
01:26:16,920 --> 01:26:19,800
Speaker 1: Jackson's two performances against the Chiefs over the past two

1600
01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:23,280
Speaker 1: years have been abysmal, averaging a hundred eighty two passing

1601
01:26:23,360 --> 01:26:28,519
Speaker 1: yards one half a passing touchdown. That's it. You're gonna

1602
01:26:28,640 --> 01:26:32,479
Speaker 1: need Lamar Jackson to rush you to relevance, and he

1603
01:26:32,640 --> 01:26:35,400
Speaker 1: probably will, and his wife still gotta be grade on him.

1604
01:26:35,560 --> 01:26:38,599
Speaker 1: But everything through the air here says to expect very

1605
01:26:38,680 --> 01:26:44,200
Speaker 1: little from Lamar Jackson. Let's go do his receivers. Marcys

1606
01:26:44,240 --> 01:26:46,640
Speaker 1: Brown is going to be a game time decision with

1607
01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:49,040
Speaker 1: an ankle injury. He has scored in six of his

1608
01:26:49,080 --> 01:26:53,200
Speaker 1: past seven games, but Kansas City secondaries really it's actually

1609
01:26:53,400 --> 01:26:56,760
Speaker 1: very good. They didn't allow his score last week, and

1610
01:26:56,880 --> 01:26:59,519
Speaker 1: ankle injuries are super dicey for receivers, and even if

1611
01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:01,000
Speaker 1: they try to play through it, a lot of times

1612
01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:04,400
Speaker 1: you can't cut on the ankle, and so they can't separate.

1613
01:27:04,439 --> 01:27:06,680
Speaker 1: And that's why I'm not crazy about Markis Brown, and

1614
01:27:06,720 --> 01:27:08,960
Speaker 1: I've got a bench grade on him. I've got a

1615
01:27:09,040 --> 01:27:12,200
Speaker 1: C grade on Sammy Watkins, who continued his Week one

1616
01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:17,160
Speaker 1: domination with a big game last week. And with Marquise

1617
01:27:17,200 --> 01:27:19,720
Speaker 1: Brown ailing and very little other talent at the wide

1618
01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:22,719
Speaker 1: receiver position, he becomes the de facto go to receiver

1619
01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:27,120
Speaker 1: and he'll need volume against two good cornerbacks, chart Various

1620
01:27:27,160 --> 01:27:30,360
Speaker 1: Ward and Legarius sneed you already know Watkins is a

1621
01:27:30,400 --> 01:27:32,760
Speaker 1: perennial underperformance, so I can only give him a C

1622
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:34,800
Speaker 1: grade here because it's not Week one, even in the

1623
01:27:34,840 --> 01:27:39,559
Speaker 1: revenge game. Even in the revenge game, Mark Andrews strangely

1624
01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:43,240
Speaker 1: quiet last week. He ran thirty seven pass routes, which

1625
01:27:43,280 --> 01:27:45,439
Speaker 1: were more routes than he ran in any game last season,

1626
01:27:45,479 --> 01:27:47,600
Speaker 1: but he didn't almost nothing with it was very was

1627
01:27:47,680 --> 01:27:50,599
Speaker 1: hardly targeted. But a plus match up here against the Chiefs,

1628
01:27:50,720 --> 01:27:53,320
Speaker 1: who were just flamed by Cleveland's tight ends for a

1629
01:27:53,439 --> 01:27:57,479
Speaker 1: hundred twenty yards. Kansas City should get Tyrone Matthew back

1630
01:27:57,560 --> 01:27:59,200
Speaker 1: for this game and that should help a bit, but

1631
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:01,560
Speaker 1: still a B grade in a bounce back performance. For

1632
01:28:01,680 --> 01:28:06,240
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews, and lastly, the running back situation Tyson Williams

1633
01:28:06,280 --> 01:28:09,400
Speaker 1: and Lottavius Murray. If you believe John Harbaugh, this is

1634
01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:11,760
Speaker 1: a running back by committee and both will be used.

1635
01:28:12,600 --> 01:28:14,360
Speaker 1: I thought Williams look pretty good last week, but he

1636
01:28:14,400 --> 01:28:16,360
Speaker 1: still got benched for Murray in the second half of

1637
01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:20,320
Speaker 1: the game. Missed the key block that was a factor.

1638
01:28:21,120 --> 01:28:24,320
Speaker 1: Chiefs were bad against backs last year. They were bad

1639
01:28:24,560 --> 01:28:28,599
Speaker 1: last week with Chubb and Hunt just running through them.

1640
01:28:28,720 --> 01:28:31,599
Speaker 1: So I've got starting grades on Tyson Williams and Lottavias

1641
01:28:31,680 --> 01:28:33,679
Speaker 1: Murray even if it turns out they're gonna split time

1642
01:28:33,800 --> 01:28:37,799
Speaker 1: roughly evenly see grades. Thank you for listening to the show, everybody.
