Actually maybe you should, 17 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: uh feel free to if it makes you feel better. Um. 18 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: We uh, we have one more show to go, and 19 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: this is what we at this show. We got one 20 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 1: more that's it, my last one of the year and 21 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: your last n by Yeah, your last segment of the 22 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 1: year coming up in six segments. We got plenty to 23 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,400 Speaker 1: get to. As always, will break down all the matchups, 24 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: three hot questions, we'll have um the lightning round at 25 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: the end, and of course take a chance on me 26 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: the maybe we maybe. We just start with one quick 27 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,839 Speaker 1: note from Thursday's games. A lot of chief Owners are 28 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: in a little bit of trouble. Patrick Mahomes just an 29 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 1: okay game. Tyrek Hill didn't do much. Kelsey was modest. Um, 30 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: so some Chiefs players unless you started Damian Williams. What 31 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: about the Keenan Allen owners who are Keenan Allen owners. 32 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: Keenan Allen owners are found themselves in a really tough 33 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: spot um as we as we will frequently say after 34 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: these Thursday games, if you find yourself on the wrong 35 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: side of that, you might want to introduce a little 36 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: risk reward in your lineup. Guys like Josh Allen and 37 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson that potentially can have really big or really 38 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: bad games might be the right answer for you. And 39 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: you also pair up the quarterback in the wide receiver 40 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: to go double dip. You have tried to double dip. 41 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: And again, if you know, if they hook up a 42 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: couple of times, you've got a big game. But they 43 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: don't hook up at all, maybe you end up losing. 44 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,679 Speaker 1: But if you're gonna lose anyway, why not. And regardless 45 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: of who you played, if you played anyone in your 46 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: flex spot from Thursday night, stop doing it. And if 47 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 1: you have anyone in today's games in your flex spot, 48 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: get him out. Speaking of which, there's games today. We 49 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: got an afternoon game in an evening game today, So 50 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: don't be caught. Go set your line up without a doubt. 51 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,119 Speaker 1: Let's jump right into the matchups, beginning with the Packers 52 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 1: taking on the Bears. Brian disaster scenario for Aaron Rodgers. 53 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: In all of whatever ten years he's been at starting quarterback, 54 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: I've ranked him every single week, He's never been ranked 55 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: as low as I've got him this week at quarterback 56 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: number two D one. And it's part in part because 57 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,399 Speaker 1: it's a great Bears team, but also in part because 58 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: they're missing their starting two of their starting guard. Well wait, 59 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: one starting guard and the right tackle and then the 60 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: right tackles the guy who's gotta be uh. It's Brian Blaga. 61 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: He's the guy in Khalil Mack. So that feels like 62 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 1: a disaster scenario against the Bears to be missing too 63 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: starting lineman. Yeah, I've certainly recommended starting other quarterbacks over 64 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers this week, this game, not on Saturday, by 65 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 1: the way, but yeah, but uh, we'll start with Rogers. 66 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him a C for all the reasons 67 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: you said and then some just look with the Bears 68 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: into the Rams last week, that is a serious cause 69 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: for concern. But Rodgers does have this going for him. 70 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: One of three quarterbacks to throw with three touchdowns against 71 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: the Bears this year. Tom Brady did it, and Brock 72 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 1: Oswiler obviously did it as well. Um, they're very good, 73 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: if not great, quarterbacks have thrown multiple touchdowns against the 74 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 1: Bears as well, Russell Wilson, Kirk Cousins, Matt Stafford, and 75 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: even Sam Bradford before he died. So I'm gonna give 76 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: Rogers the sea. But yeah, you gotta be very worried 77 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: and explore other options if you have it. But if 78 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 1: you don't have a bench on him, yeah, I was 79 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: borderline benching him, but it is let's move on. I 80 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: don't want to talk. Well, what about Davante Adams then, 81 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: so you know he's been he has been money in 82 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,839 Speaker 1: every situation. He's had a plethora of great number one 83 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: cornerbacks that he's had to overcome, and he almost always does. 84 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 1: Can we queue up the peacock from last year's Shells 85 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: Brewery Show when I said Adams is a top ten 86 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:28,280 Speaker 1: wide receiver in twenty seventeen preseason last witness. I can't 87 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 1: do that right off the top of it, like like 88 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 1: an old man peacock, like packing and wheezing. But Adams 89 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 1: is so money in the bank it's unreal. Matt's gonna 90 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: put him as his number one wide receiver next year. 91 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: He said he beat me to that. But uh yeah, 92 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: one game, Davante hadhams dat Adams has with less than 93 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: ten Fantasy points this year, and that's in standard leaks. 94 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: His worst game this year was eight catches for eighty 95 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: one yards. Yeah, that is his worst game this season. 96 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: I understand. What about the Bears, Well, he caught five 97 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: for nine d in a touchdown in his last meeting 98 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: with the Bears Week one. But I don't know I'm 99 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: playing Davanta Adams. I'm gonna give him a very hard beat. 100 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: He deserves an a. But for all the the reasons 101 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 1: we said you gotta worry about the Packers, I'm giving 102 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: Adams would be but the only format you're not starting 103 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: him might be guillotine leaks. That's about it. But he's 104 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 1: a solid b Randall Cobb on the bench. He did 105 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: have nine for one forty two in Week one end 106 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: a touchdown a week one against the Bears, but he's 107 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: on the bench easily as is Jimmy Graham. Just two 108 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: catches for eight yards in the Week one matchup. Chicago 109 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: hasn't allowed a tight end touchdown since Week eight, and 110 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: Nick O'Leary has the most yardage recorded by a single 111 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 1: tight end against the Bears. You want to guess how 112 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 1: many yards he had over under two a little higher 113 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: forty nine yards. Yeah, So Jimmy Graham on the bench. 114 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: Explore other options at tight end and Aaron Jones again, 115 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,080 Speaker 1: awful matchup for him as well. I'm gonna give him 116 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: a c uh just because he's gonna get touches likely, 117 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: But he's another guy that if you have other options, 118 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: I would explore them willingly over the Bears. Treet Cohen 119 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 1: canna give him a B. Double digit touchdowns and five 120 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: straight and team highs and targets and catches over the 121 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: last three weeks. And uh, I don't know why we 122 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: didn't nickname him this earlier locally TC the Bear. It's 123 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: not bad. It's not bad. Moving on, Doc good quicksip 124 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 1: of because you're here in the middle of a five 125 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 1: minute match. Is the sticky one man Jordan Howard Ce 126 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 1: Packers just put starting defensive tackle Mike Daniels on i R. 127 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: Opposing running backs were already averaging nearly five yards per 128 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: carry against the Packers, so Howard is startable this week. 129 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: Alan Robinson startable as well. Listen as questionable. It was 130 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: a full participant Friday. Friday had a modest four for 131 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 1: sixty one in the opener. That's probably his floor in 132 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 1: this matchup. Is that secondary is absolutely decimated for Green Bay. 133 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: And for that reason, I will give Taylor Gabriel a 134 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: long shot. See at least seven targets in four straight games. Uh. 135 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: He caught five passes in the Week one matchup, for 136 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: what it's worth, so I'll give him a see. I'm 137 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 1: benching Anthony Miller, though too much of a dart throw 138 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 1: Trey Burt on the bench. He's been absolutely brutal. Just 139 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 1: two catches and twenty yards per game are his averages 140 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: over his last seven. So he's on the bench and 141 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: Mitch Truebhisky gets a b uh. Green bands allowed multiple 142 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: touchdowns and three of the last four games three touchdowns, 143 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 1: and two of those three Josh Rosen was the only 144 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: one who failed to do so. He's failed to do 145 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: anything this year, though, and Rubisky, always a threat with 146 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: his legs, ran for a touchdown in the first meeting 147 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: as well. I like, I like your whiskey. Now you've 148 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 1: just uh, you've just said. We've been doing this twenty 149 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: four years. In the twenty four year history of this show, 150 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 1: we've never had somebody do such a long rambling matchup 151 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: that they actually dehydrated on the air. And all time 152 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: first set by Brian Johnson, I've heard much longer rambles 153 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: on this show. Trusting Dallas taking on Indianapolis Matt uh 154 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: Dallas and Marie Cooper Dak Prescott about as hot as 155 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: any tandem in the NFL. But it's an indie secondary 156 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: that's been shockingly good, albeit against bad opposition. What do 157 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: you make of this one? Yeah, it's well. First off, 158 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: it's worth note that All Pro guard Zack Martin will 159 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 1: be out for this game. That's a big hit to 160 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: the Dallas line. You know, Uh, I have Doc with 161 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: a C grade. It's tough to bench a guy who 162 00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: just h torched his career high in passing yards by 163 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: a hundred and twenty yards. But is that today? That's 164 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: maybe all the more reason to to be cautious because 165 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 1: it was such an anomaly, And to be fair, it 166 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: was a five quarter game. Only one quarterback topped three 167 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: hundred yards in the last eight games against the Colts, 168 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: and we highlighted it last week. If Dac doesn't score 169 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: on the ground, he's not a startable quarterback In most cases. 170 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 1: The Colts haven't allowed a rushing touchdown to a quarterback 171 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: in five games. They've allowed three on the air two 172 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: of the three they did allow. We're a Derek Carr 173 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,440 Speaker 1: lean over the goal line and a Tom Brady lean 174 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 1: over the goal line. So unless we're getting that, and 175 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: I think that's when they handoff to Zeke, anyway, we're 176 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,679 Speaker 1: we're not played Doc, uh Cooper. I'm giving a B. 177 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: He's been the best wide receiver in Fantasy over the 178 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: last five weeks. He runs into a Cults secondary though 179 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: that has an allow out a hundred yard receiver since 180 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: Week four, and over the last month, the Colts are 181 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: allowing an average of only ninety total yards to the 182 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,559 Speaker 1: position per game. Still so hot, I have to give 183 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: him a B. Zeke's getting an A grade. He's averaging 184 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: a hundred and seventy two total yards over his last 185 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: five games. He's awesome, Andrew luck Chart. Here we are again, 186 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 1: here we are. What do you think Andrew lux great 187 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,400 Speaker 1: is this week? Um, I'm gonna guess you're gonna give 188 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 1: him a C. I gave him an A. I'm giving 189 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,320 Speaker 1: I gave him an A grade last week, and you 190 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: laughed at me for kind of the same reason. Charch 191 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 1: scoffed at me. And he had two against a very 192 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: good Texans defense in Indy. He's averaging nine yards per 193 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: attempt in his last four home games. That's better, that's good. Uh. 194 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 1: Dallas has given up multiple touchdown passes in four of 195 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: their last six games, including three touchdown passes to Carson 196 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: Wentz last week. So I like lux ability to throw 197 00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: the touchdown passes and get it going. Now. The problem 198 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,320 Speaker 1: is is e y. Hilton's in a little bit of 199 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: a sticky situation here. If you take Hilton out of 200 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 1: that offense, I like him a lot less luck a 201 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,959 Speaker 1: lot less. He hasn't practiced all week with an ankle 202 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: injuries listed as a game time decision. If he plays, 203 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,440 Speaker 1: I'm giving him a B grade. Uh if he does go, 204 00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: Hilton's seen about of his targets from the slot this year, 205 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: where the Cowboys have allowed seventy five plus yards or 206 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: a touchdown in nine of their last eleven games. So 207 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: if Hilton's in, I like Hilton. Eric Ebron's an easy A. 208 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: Cowboys have allowed the second most catches in the eighth 209 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: most yards to tight ends, and the running game Marlon 210 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,680 Speaker 1: Mack and company is on the bench. MATC had to 211 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,439 Speaker 1: touchdown last week, which kind of saved it. But sixty 212 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:38,959 Speaker 1: six total rushing yards from the running backs over their 213 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 1: last two games, that's an average of thirty three per game. 214 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: You can't start any of that against the good Dallas defense. 215 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: Agree on all of that. Lions take on the Bills 216 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: in a game in which there are virtually no starters. 217 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: In fact, none of the Lions are startable this week. 218 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford Kenny Golladay are out on this one. They 219 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: if bench grades they're playing, They're not out. They're playing. 220 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 1: You might not know they're playing when you see the 221 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: box score. Bill's debt past defense has been awesome all year. Quietly, 222 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: the Bills allow the fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks 223 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 1: on the full season, and in the last month they 224 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 1: ranked number one in fantasy points allowed. And here comes 225 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford with only one good receiver, Kenny Golladay, and 226 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: who does he get Tradus White all game? Game over, 227 00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: it's over, it's done. You can't start. You can't start 228 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: any of those guys. Uh. And so they're all out. 229 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: And by the way, Stafford's other starting wide receiver, Bruce 230 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 1: Ellington out with a hamstring. So it's just an utter 231 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 1: disaster for the Lions offense right now. All the runners 232 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 1: are out. Carrie On Johnson is ruled out of the 233 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: game with his knee injuries. Zentner and Blunt are gonna 234 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: split carries of notedges in that scenario either, So all 235 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: the lines are on the bench. Let's talk Josh Allen, 236 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: because this is fascinating. Your highest scoring fantasy quarterback over 237 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: the last three weeks and it's not close. Is Josh Allen. 238 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: He's the second leading rusher behind Akuon Barkley over the 239 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: last three hundred thirty four rushing yards over the last 240 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: three weeks since he returned from his elbow injury. Now 241 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: that all sounds great until you realize the Lions have 242 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 1: allowed the fewest rushing yards. Two quarterbacks. Get a load 243 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: of this. Cam Newton mobile quarterback right two yards. I 244 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: think that was pre snacks Harrison even too, I think 245 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: that was Dak Prescott mobile quarterback right two yards. Russell 246 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: Wilson fifteen yards, m R. Bisky eighteen yards. Listen, there's 247 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: a lot of danger for if Josh Allen does not 248 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 1: run like he has been running, and he may not 249 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,400 Speaker 1: against the Lions. Needs a hundred yards for him to 250 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: be fantasy startable. I don't you need almost a hundred 251 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,079 Speaker 1: rushing yards. It's a little bit like Lamar Jackson. The 252 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: numbers indicated, But those guys when we ran like two 253 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: or three times each two, they weren't even attempting to 254 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 1: run the ball against Detroit. So yeah, so there is 255 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: that as well, and so they may not even try 256 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: to run Josh Allen in this game now. They don't 257 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 1: do a lot of design runs for Josh. Most of 258 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: the yards he picks up are just him just doing 259 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: improvisation behind the line of scrimmage. But he's not a 260 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,079 Speaker 1: gifted passer. He's completing only fifty of his throws. He's 261 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: been held to zero or one touchdown pass in seven 262 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,839 Speaker 1: of his eight games. It's worth noting that Detroit plays 263 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: a lot of zone coverage, so there might not be 264 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: breakdowns for him to go through holes and run down 265 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:24,079 Speaker 1: the field either. So I'm nervous. I've gotta be great 266 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 1: on Josh Allen out of respect for what he could 267 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: do on the ground, But just know that I think 268 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: this is the biggest high risk, high reward player on 269 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 1: the entire slate this week. Josh Allen. The only other 270 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: Bill I'm gonna mention is Robert Foster, a fast downfield 271 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: threat who just needs one, really one deep reception to 272 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: make an impact, but he's gonna see shadow coverage from 273 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 1: Darius Slay. Slays sometimes great, but he also gives up 274 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,199 Speaker 1: a lot of big plays. He's given up six touchdowns 275 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 1: in his coverage, which is a lot for anyone cornerback 276 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,040 Speaker 1: at this stage of the season. Um, so he could 277 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 1: go any direction there. I've got to see great on 278 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: Robert Foster, and the running backs are on the bench, 279 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,679 Speaker 1: neither McCoy or Ivor are healthy, and Snacks Harrison shuts 280 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: down the run anyway. You don't see slay on Za No, 281 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: because of the slot z's and I like slaves a 282 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 1: though the slaves I think you wanted. When we come back, 283 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: take a chance on me. Nine players not normally in 284 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: your starting lineup, and yes, even in the Fantasy semi finals. 285 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: These are guys that can help you tell you who 286 00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: they are when we come back. This is take a 287 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: chance on me. Let me, let me try that again. 288 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: It's a statement. This is take a chance on me. 289 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 1: I'm Ron Burgundy. There's typing the question mark in the telepropter. 290 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,600 Speaker 1: Did you get see the stephen A. Smith Ron Burgundy 291 00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: match up? No? Oh god, it's brilliant. I would gonna 292 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: Henry bit. I was gonna do my first matchup as 293 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: stephen A. Smith. I'm banking on a big game from 294 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: Bubba Franks week. That would have made if we would 295 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: have had a Charger game today, you had to have 296 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: done it right. But the Charger game already happened. If 297 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: we would have, that would have been great. Marry and 298 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: Potts is gonna have a big game. Natron means Natron 299 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: means business. Let's go to uh, let's go to the 300 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: quarterback position. Nine guys, well not nine quarterbacks, three quarterbacks, 301 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 1: nine total players you can start in your lineup that 302 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: you normally would not Brian, Who's our first contestant? I'm 303 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: going with Nick Mullins at home against the Seahawks. In 304 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: his five starts, Mullins is averaging more than two passing 305 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: yards per game, which put some top five during that span. 306 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 1: Before Kirk Cousins only threw one touchdown last week against Seattle, 307 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: the Seahawks had conceded two passing touchdowns in six straight games, 308 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: which included a two touchdown game from Mullins in Week thirteen, 309 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 1: who also had four fourteen passing yards in that game. 310 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: How worth noting. I'm not predicting four hundred in this one, 311 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: but there are some injuries to Seattle secondary safety Bradley 312 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: McDougald could be inactive after being added to the injury 313 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: report late this week, and backup safety Maurice Alexander's out, 314 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:14,400 Speaker 1: so they could be thin there. So I'm like in Mullins, 315 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: Nick Mollins, I've got Baker Mayfield for about the fifth 316 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: time this year. It really doesn't qualify. H you can 317 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: give me a anti peacock, maybe a sad trombone though, 318 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: because he was might take a chance on me guy 319 00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 1: last week. Uh. He topped three hundred yards thrown for 320 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: multiple touchdowns in six of the last seven games except 321 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: for last week, and he totally did not. Um. I'm 322 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: going back to the well though. In the in their 323 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,480 Speaker 1: last six games, four quarterbacks have topped the three yard 324 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: mark and four quarterbacks have had multiple scores against the Broncos. 325 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: And over the last five weeks, in fact, the Broncos 326 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: have allowed the most passing yards in the league, and 327 00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: that includes games against the aforementioned. Nick Mullins and Jeff 328 00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: Driskell Um mentioned this about your your selection of Baker Mayfield. 329 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: Last week. He threw four in completions for the whole game. 330 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: He actually had a really good game. It's not a 331 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: fantasy and fantasy. He had a good start to the 332 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 1: game and it just like dried up. Now here's a 333 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: real take a chance and he played Derek Carr with 334 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: back to back strong fantasy games and a potential cupcake 335 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 1: on the schedule. He's throwing five touchdowns over the last 336 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 1: two weeks. The Bengal secondary without Drake Kirkpatrick Tony McCrae 337 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: last week. They may both be missing this week as well. 338 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: Even though the Bengals shocked me by containing Philip Rivers 339 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: somewhat last week, they're only two games removed from getting 340 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: destroyed by Baker Mayfield and then Drew Breese a couple 341 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 1: of weeks before that. Needless to say, starting any Raider 342 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 1: comes with a certain amount of danger. But Derek Carr 343 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: things are lining up for him. The Raiders are actually 344 00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 1: playing competent quasi competent football right now. Let's go to 345 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 1: the running back position, Brian, they're going to raise a 346 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: banner next year in the stadium saying they played That's 347 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 1: right what stadium? Which good point? What we're doing running back? 348 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Elijah McGuire at home against the Texans today, 349 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: so you better add him if you can. Uh. He's 350 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,880 Speaker 1: probably not available in a ton of leagues, but Isaiah 351 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 1: crow Well is no more. Uh. McGuire stepped in last 352 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,640 Speaker 1: week and logged eight plus combo yards in the game, 353 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: winning touchdown and a tough matchup against the Bills. This 354 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: is a tough matchup on paper as well. On the 355 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 1: ground at least, UH Texans are allowing less than four 356 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,400 Speaker 1: yards per carry, but they have allowed four rushing touchdowns 357 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: running backs over the last four weeks, and they do 358 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 1: allow the tenth most catches of running backs nearly six 359 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: per game. And McGuire is a able receiver. Able, I'd 360 00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: leave it at able. I've got t J. Yeldon against 361 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: Washington team. Washington is on their fourth string quarterback, a 362 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 1: guy who hasn't started a game in seven years, the 363 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 1: longest span since Doug Flutie came back to the league. UH. 364 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: Their line is toast, their defense has been brutal, and 365 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 1: they just gave up forty points of the Giants last week. 366 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 1: So the game script favors the Jags jumping out to 367 00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,720 Speaker 1: a lead, and even if they don't spell for net 368 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: Yellen could play in the passing game pretty well. Washington's 369 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,960 Speaker 1: allowed receiving yardage days of one oh, two, sixty and 370 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: seventy three two running backs this year. Two of those 371 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,639 Speaker 1: were Chuck Quiz Rogers and Tevin Coleman. And if this 372 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,959 Speaker 1: game is tight, Yeldon could be involved in that passing 373 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: game too. He's had eight targets and seven catches just 374 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: two weeks ago, so I think that he'll be involved. 375 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: I love Kenneth Dixon this week. I believe he's right 376 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: around running back twenty seven for me by the and 377 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 1: dirt cheap on Van ball Head coach John Harbaugh at 378 00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:34,360 Speaker 1: the end of last week's game said, we gotta get 379 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: we gotta have an expanded role for Kenneth Dixon. I 380 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if he starts the game over Gus Edwards, 381 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: but I think we could be coming to that. Dixon 382 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 1: has scored in back to back games since coming half off. 383 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: I R and he gets Tampa Bay, the team allowing 384 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 1: the second most rushing touchdowns, and Guest Edwards does not 385 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: catch at all. Kenneth Dixon does Tampa bottom five against 386 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: running back receptions dead la Auston running back receiving touchdowns. 387 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: A great opportunity for Kenneth Dixon in this game. Let's 388 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,359 Speaker 1: go to the wide receiver position. Brian all Right, this 389 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 1: could be a guy for those Keenan Allen owners who 390 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 1: are hurting. I'm going Dublin down on the Jets. Robbie 391 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,439 Speaker 1: Anderson today baby uh Sam Donalds had eyes for Anderson 392 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: the last two weeks. He leads the team in targets 393 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,440 Speaker 1: and air yards nearly two hundred air yards this week, 394 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 1: and burner receivers have had success against the Texans. T 395 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 1: Y Hilton, Corey Davis, Antonio Callaway, something called Zach Pascal, 396 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: Rochard Higgins all scored touchdowns in recent weeks. In the 397 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: last two weeks the Texans. The Texans steps surrendered a 398 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: career or league high thirteen completions of twenty plus yards. 399 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: So this is a boomer Bus play. He could wet 400 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 1: the bed, or he could pile up the points as 401 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 1: if he were striping drives at Top Golf in Brooklyn Center, 402 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: my favorite place on Earth. I'm going back to the 403 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,680 Speaker 1: Jaguar as well as as well. D D Westbrook against Washington. 404 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,959 Speaker 1: Westbrook is the slot and possession receiver in an offense 405 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 1: that has a quarterback that does not throw downfield. That's 406 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: one of the reasons he saw ten targets, seven catches 407 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: and eight eight yards last week against Tennessee and garbage time. 408 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: He did score in that game as well. Working from 409 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,199 Speaker 1: the slot has worked well against Washington as a recent sterling. 410 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 1: Shepherd scored last week. Golden Tate had seventy five in 411 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 1: a touch in week thirteen. Kiki cut at seventy seven 412 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 1: yards two weeks prior to that, so good little matchup 413 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 1: for deed. Are you dehydrated after that lengthy d D Westbrook? 414 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: Right up? Wasn't that? Wasn't that bad? Come on? Curtis 415 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,360 Speaker 1: Samuel's usage has exploded in the last two games nineteen 416 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: targets and that's resulted in two solid games for Curtis 417 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: Samuel eighty eight and eighty yards operating from the slot. 418 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 1: You'll match up against the Saints weakest cornerback P. J. Williams, 419 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: who is allowing a passer rating of one hundred twenty 420 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:50,119 Speaker 1: five in his coverage. Curtis Samuel, excellent play, Kurt Sam, 421 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 1: Kurt Sam, you get a great opportunity to go with 422 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: the d D hydrated their d D hydrated. That would 423 00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 1: have been good. Um, let's talk Cardinals, Falcons, Lion. I 424 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,360 Speaker 1: think David Johnson is an absolute lock here. Falcons give 425 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 1: up the most receptions to do you know why he's 426 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 1: such a lock? Church? Yeah, all right, No greater gift 427 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: for running back then facing the Falcons on your birthday, 428 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: especially a pass catching back. So there was injury concerns 429 00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: with dj ear in the week. He fully practiced Friday. 430 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: He's good to go. He's a gay grade play without 431 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 1: a doubt. I can give Larry Fitzgerald to B as well. 432 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 1: He has four touchdowns over his last seven games. Uh 433 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: No scored four and four of his last seven five 434 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,639 Speaker 1: total touchdowns during that span. It's the only top fifty 435 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,239 Speaker 1: five yards twice. Yeah, that's the He's two catches and 436 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: a touchdown in most games. Three catches and he's the 437 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 1: Cameron Breights of wide receivers. He has a plus match 438 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,199 Speaker 1: up with Brian Pool though, the Atlanti slot corner who 439 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 1: conceded a big game to Randall Cobb last week, so 440 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 1: there is a fits is viable this week. I'll give 441 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 1: him a B. Trent Sutfield not some people think he 442 00:22:58,080 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: could be I could take a chance to me type 443 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 1: play air. He led the team in receiving yards last week, 444 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: but I'll see plenty of Desmond Trudfont running majority of 445 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 1: these routes on the right side. So he's on the 446 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 1: bench as his Ricky Seals Jones. I'm done with him. 447 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,959 Speaker 1: Has totaled just five catches in his last three games. 448 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: He's on the bench, as is Josh Rosen, obviously going 449 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: over to the Falcons. Let's start with the running backs. 450 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 1: I'm gonna lead off with Edo Smith because he's outtouched 451 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman better than I have him ranked higher than 452 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 1: Tevin Coleman. But there I'll give him both the seed 453 00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 1: just for the fact that Arizona is conceding more than 454 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 1: thirty three touches and a hundred seventy combo yards per 455 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 1: game to running backs. I'm forced to start Tevin Coleman 456 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,159 Speaker 1: in one league if you have to, I can't fault you, 457 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: but you gotta be a little worried about that. But 458 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: they both get to see Julio Jones gets an a 459 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: regardless of the Pat Pete shadowing. I don't care you're 460 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: playing Julio this week, but if Pat Pete shadows Julio, 461 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 1: that could put Calvin Ridley in a very big spot 462 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 1: and then give him a b uh. Ridley should see 463 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: a ton of David Anderson, who is sitting on his 464 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: couch until about mid November when he was signed by Arizona. 465 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: So love and Ridley here and I'll give Mohammed Sanow 466 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 1: a soft sea and PPR very very safe floor. Ten 467 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: points in PPR not a very high ceiling. He's top 468 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: four catches just three times this season. Buddha Baker is 469 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: playing hurt hasn't been as effective. So you can use 470 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: Snow in a pinch, I wouldn't you can, I said, so, 471 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,360 Speaker 1: I would okay in a pinch, but Snow could see 472 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: more targets. Because I do not like Austin Hooper, I 473 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: have him on the bench this week. He's very iffy 474 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: with a knee injury already and only four tight ends 475 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,200 Speaker 1: I've hit the fifty yard mark against Arizona this year, 476 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 1: Actually only three tight ends did it because George Kittle 477 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: did it twice and Austin Hooper is not George Kittle. 478 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 1: So I got Hooper on the bench. I'm gonna exploring 479 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 1: other options there and Matt Ryan and give him a 480 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,880 Speaker 1: b uh. Teams aren't forced to throw on Arizona their 481 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 1: bottom five and opponent pass pttempts per game. But you 482 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,439 Speaker 1: gotta love Ryan at home, where he's averaging over three 483 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 1: fifteen yards and two touchdowns per game. Be based on volume. Um, 484 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 1: I've got him at a quasi bench grade. We'll find out. 485 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 1: This is based on the volume, is based on everything. 486 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:56,959 Speaker 1: A game script, that's all. It should be a lot 487 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,479 Speaker 1: of running, Patrick Peterson, I like pudde Baker more than 488 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,439 Speaker 1: you do. We'll see I'm nervous about Matt Ryan in 489 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 1: this game. When we come back, we'll talk about Cleveland 490 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 1: taking on Denver. Philip Lindsay's powered people into the playoffs. 491 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,479 Speaker 1: Will that continue? Find out when we come back. This 492 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 1: is Fantasy Football Weekly presented by Devans on the Man. 493 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 1: Welcome back to the show. It is Fantasy Football Weekly 494 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:33,160 Speaker 1: on the Fan. Maybe more impressive that we have callers 495 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: from Toronto, Indiana, Milwaukee on hold that we never even 496 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 1: got the phone number on the show. These are people 497 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: who figured out how to call in despite the fact 498 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: that we've never Um. Yeah, it's really not a secret, 499 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: but we just never need to mention it, so I 500 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 1: never do not on this show anyway. UM, you know 501 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: we should mention what's that? We should mention that we 502 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 1: went toy shopping on Thursday with Scott Fish's Fantasy Cares 503 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: great call, uh and we bought almost twenty thousand dollars 504 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 1: worth of toys for toys for Tots at Target and 505 00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:10,640 Speaker 1: egan this Thursday, and he's reopened donations to Yeah, Fantasy 506 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: Cares dot net. You wanna donate for next year's cause 507 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: it's a pretty great cause. Scott's doing great work. Scott's 508 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 1: doing great work with the Scott Fish Poll. It's entirely 509 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 1: for charity and um and it's great to see this 510 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: thing blow up. It was fifteen thousand dollars last year. 511 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: It's forty four thousand dollars this year, and it all 512 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: goes to toys for Tots and it's all funded by 513 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: fantasy players like you. It's the fantasy community getting involved. 514 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: So thank all you guys for being a part of it, 515 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: and thanks to Scott for all the hours he puts 516 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: into running that running that charity. In the league, Cleveland 517 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: takes on Denver. Matt and you already said you like 518 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. Does you take a chance on the quarterback? 519 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,360 Speaker 1: Quasi take a chance? I mean quarterback? And he's little 520 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: too good for that. But I love Jarvis Landry in 521 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,239 Speaker 1: this matchup. Talk to me about him. I gave him 522 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 1: a B grade. What my number ten wide receiver this week? Well, 523 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: maybe there's not that many good wide receivers this week chart. Actually, 524 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: that is kind of true. Landry bounce back with his 525 00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 1: first touchdown in six games last week against the Panthers 526 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: only gets the B here because I'm worried that his 527 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 1: target total has just been awful over the last five 528 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,719 Speaker 1: weeks four, nine, five, five, and seven. While he had 529 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:18,120 Speaker 1: double he had double digit targets and eight games. Dr 530 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 1: John Ross about an awful target target total dropped significantly 531 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: charged It's it's bad for Jarvis Landry. He faces backup 532 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: slot corner Justin Simmons, who gives up a passer rating 533 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,400 Speaker 1: of one hundred six and a catch rate of eight. Yeah, 534 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 1: and the Brits are allowing almost two hundred yards per 535 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: game to the wide receiver position. Landwards a C grade 536 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: as of like two or three weeks ago. I'm giving 537 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: him a B. I think that's generous. He hasn't got 538 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: the target total. Not seeing this correctly four targets last week, 539 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: Charch loud noises for David and Joko Uh. I'm giving 540 00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 1: him a C grade even though I don't like it 541 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: at all. Last week, the Broncos almost allowed a single 542 00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: game record for tight end yards to George Kittle. They 543 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,720 Speaker 1: should have Uh, in joke, who has been a constant 544 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,880 Speaker 1: disappointment this season though you've never been able to play 545 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,480 Speaker 1: him in the right spot. He goes off in the 546 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: games he shouldn't. He doesn't score in the games that 547 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 1: he should That's an understatement. How many games you've gone 548 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: often too? Yeah, that's about it. Uh, Nick Chubb, I'm 549 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: giving him a B grade. Broncos are middle of the 550 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,399 Speaker 1: pack matchup, although they have not a lot of running 551 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,199 Speaker 1: back rushing touchdown in seven straight games. However, Chubb has 552 00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: scored in six of the seven games since Carlos Hyde 553 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 1: was traded, so something's got to give there. I think 554 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,960 Speaker 1: Chubb gets a touchdown over on the other side, there's 555 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,679 Speaker 1: one starter, and it's Philip Lindsay. I gave him an 556 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 1: A grade, but I'm nervous about two things. First, he 557 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: was bottled up last week. Uh. That was the first 558 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: week Emmanuel Sanders was gone for the offense. He only 559 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,240 Speaker 1: had fourteen carries for thirty yards. Did get a touchdown 560 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 1: against the not great San Fran run defense. And Second, 561 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: while Cleveland has been bad against the run overall on 562 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: the season, they've been a bit better lately. McCaffrey did 563 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: score twice. Last week it was held to sixty three 564 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,840 Speaker 1: yards on sixteen carries, and the prior couple of weeks 565 00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 1: they didn't give up a touchdown to mix in the 566 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 1: land of backer Lamar Miller. So he's still in a grade. 567 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: But I can see a path where it's not an 568 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 1: a quality uh stat line that he puts out case 569 00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:09,520 Speaker 1: Keenum in the passing game is all on the bench 570 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: though Keenom has been held under two hundred yards in 571 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: three straight weeks. The Browns give up a lot of yards, 572 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 1: but they're tied for the seventh fewest passing scores allowed, 573 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,000 Speaker 1: and Brown's corner T. J. Kerry will be covering Sutton. 574 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 1: He's yet to allow a score in his coverage all year. 575 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: So uh, Courtland Sutton and day Shawn Hamilton's are both 576 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:31,320 Speaker 1: on the bench. Vikings play play the Dolphins and plenty 577 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 1: of moving parts with the Vikings because we have a 578 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: new offensive coordinator who's never called a play ever. And no, 579 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,640 Speaker 1: he has the Pro Bowl last year. Oh alright, I'll 580 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 1: take that left, okay, And then he was in the 581 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: Pro Bowl Pro Bowl o C where they let the 582 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 1: fans like vote the play. I'm pretty sure they should. 583 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: I think they do that. But I'll tell you what. 584 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: You want to make the Pro Bowl a lot more interesting, 585 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: Let the fans call all the offensive plays. They've done 586 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: the fun, they've done a thing where you like tweet 587 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 1: the play. I think they should. You know, it should 588 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: be a Madden. They should build a Madden like in 589 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,840 Speaker 1: her face where we've all got you know, all this 590 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: fans have got five six, seven seconds. You know, if 591 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: there are play ends to call the next play and 592 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: that's what they're running. You want to get people watching 593 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl that doing a second. Anyway, start with 594 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 1: the passing game for the Vikings. I like Kirk Cousins 595 00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: at a B level here, uh now. Granted, over the 596 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 1: past two games, Kirk is posted just two D one 597 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: and two hundred eight yards UM, and a lot of 598 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 1: those yards came in garbage time. Fortunately, Miami secondary suffering 599 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: with injuries Xavien Howard out and all probability, and that 600 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: does give some hope here. And if you subtract out 601 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: a Sam Donald game over the past two months, the 602 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: Dolphins are giving up three passing touchdowns per game and 603 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,479 Speaker 1: two D seventy one yards. So are they cut Cousins bounces? 604 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,760 Speaker 1: Bounces back nicely here in part because the help that 605 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 1: he gets from Adam thieland with an A grade, Stefan 606 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 1: Diggs will will have a lot of successes well, in fact, 607 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 1: also have an A grade. In fact, let me start 608 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: with Stefan Diggs with an A grade here because Xavian 609 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 1: Howard is out. Um, this is a great opportunity. He'll 610 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: go up again Tory mctire, who really should be Tori Retire. Yeah, 611 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: Savage burn. He got hammered by Tom Brady last week 612 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 1: and on the season. Tory mctire giving up a passer 613 00:31:13,320 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 1: rating of one four. We're getting closing in on perfect 614 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:21,160 Speaker 1: passer rating in his coverage. Stefon Diggs A grade, theeling 615 00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 1: A grade. He goes up against slack corner Bobby McCain, 616 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,360 Speaker 1: who's given up a touchdown in three of the past 617 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: four games. I think the bouncebacks coming for Kirk in 618 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:33,120 Speaker 1: his passing game. How about treadless mctire. I kind of 619 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 1: like that. I like Tori Retire quite a bit though. Um. 620 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph, I know he's been the forgotten man in 621 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: the Vikings offense, but maybe that change is here with 622 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:45,120 Speaker 1: the jainted offensive coordinator and a struggling Dolphins team team 623 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,160 Speaker 1: against tight ends, They've allowed the most tight end scores 624 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: this year, including four in the last three weeks. They've 625 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 1: allowed three multiple touchdown games to a tight end this year. 626 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:00,720 Speaker 1: Kyle Rudolph c Grade and then finally Dalvin co. His 627 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: thirteen rushing attempts against Seattle were his most since Week one, 628 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 1: which is depressing. Cook should get volume against a Dolphins team. 629 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: They're giving up twenty five rushing attempts per game one 630 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,600 Speaker 1: yards per game to opposing running backs. Again, We're not 631 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,160 Speaker 1: sure how Kevin Stefanski will use him, but it's probably 632 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: more than the usage was getting under John d Filippo. 633 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,320 Speaker 1: On the Miami side, everybody's on the bench. In the 634 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,360 Speaker 1: Dolphins five game road losing streak, they're scoring an average 635 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: of sixteen points, and the Vikings are the toughest defense 636 00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,360 Speaker 1: out of that group by a lot. In the passing game, 637 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,040 Speaker 1: the Vikings pass defense has been terrific against against far 638 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: better quarterbacks than Ryan Tannehill. The only receiver you might 639 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,040 Speaker 1: be tempted to start as Kenny Stills, but he's gonna 640 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 1: get Xavier Roads all games, so I think he's dead 641 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,560 Speaker 1: to us anyway. Kenyan Drake and Frank Gore are both 642 00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: on the bench. Drake is scoring some touchdowns, um, but 643 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 1: he's only averaging nine touches per game. For whatever reason, 644 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 1: they won't play him, and so at nine touches per game, 645 00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,640 Speaker 1: you can't start him, not against the Vikings. Frank Gore 646 00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,880 Speaker 1: is still looking for his first rushing touchdown and if 647 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,040 Speaker 1: Kings are unlikely to give it up there on the 648 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: bench as well. I don't know if you can count 649 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,840 Speaker 1: miracle touchdowns either players. Well, they score, but you can't 650 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: really bank on one happening. If it happens in back 651 00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 1: to back games, how much of a miracle is it really. 652 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:17,240 Speaker 1: Texans take on the Jets. That is a game for today. 653 00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,600 Speaker 1: Be sure you set your lineups on that the early game. 654 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,520 Speaker 1: It is the early one which starts it I think 655 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 1: three or something, and we highlighted the Cleveland Denver game. 656 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 1: That's also the Saturday games. That is the Saturday night game. 657 00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: Don't put any of these players in your flex Yeah, well, yeah, 658 00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 1: you probably don't want hammering that home today. That's fine. 659 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,640 Speaker 1: Texans take on the Jets of Brian What are your 660 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,719 Speaker 1: thoughts on Lamar Miller? I think this could be a 661 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,920 Speaker 1: fantastic game for a player who has been very good 662 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: for a couple of months. You want my overall thoughts 663 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 1: on Lamar Mill, I really don't, because I remember how 664 00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 1: much you loved him last year. I remember how much 665 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 1: you loved Monty Ball a couple of years before. Okay, 666 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 1: but anyway, that was not a couple of years ago. 667 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 1: That was a couple of years before, years ago, a 668 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 1: couple of years before that. Yes, and it's years ago, 669 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: Monty Ball your number one running what's really number one? 670 00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:10,919 Speaker 1: It was a bad call that officially neutralizes my say, 671 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,359 Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley number two this year. That's the ace up 672 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,320 Speaker 1: my sleeve when it comes to Lamar Miller. And anyway, 673 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,680 Speaker 1: today's game, I'm giving him a B and I hear 674 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 1: I'm praising Lamar Miller and you got to pull out 675 00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,920 Speaker 1: the Monty ballgard. Well, what is this with this latent hostility? 676 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,480 Speaker 1: You know it's week fifteen. You know you praised him 677 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,399 Speaker 1: today and nice and overall. Then you took the first stab. 678 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,759 Speaker 1: You took the first step. Okay, let's get along. B 679 00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 1: Over the last four games, the Jets are allowing a 680 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 1: hundred three plus rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns have 681 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 1: allowed that two opposing running backs. Miller is a lock 682 00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:50,440 Speaker 1: for eighteen to twenty touches. Dante Foreman has been activated 683 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,440 Speaker 1: off the pub list, but he'll eat into Alfred Blues 684 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,720 Speaker 1: workload more than Miller. So if you're worried about Alfred 685 00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,400 Speaker 1: Blues workload, you should be worried about Dante Forman. Anyway, 686 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:01,080 Speaker 1: Miller gets the B over the receiving game. Jandre Hopkins 687 00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 1: obvious A uh. Damarius Thomas can give him a B. 688 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,440 Speaker 1: Kind of quiet since his two touchdown game in Week twelve. 689 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 1: Not kind of quiet, how about very quarry quiet. But 690 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,400 Speaker 1: secondary boundary receivers have not been quiet against the Jets, 691 00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 1: topping one hundred yards and three of New York's last 692 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,320 Speaker 1: four games. It was done by Robert Foster, Taiwan Taylor, 693 00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: and Robert Foster. So there you go, and oh yeah 694 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 1: to Mary's Thomas. Thomas actually had a good game as 695 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,280 Speaker 1: a Bronco against the Jets, catching fast for a hundred 696 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:30,879 Speaker 1: and five yards and a touchdown. He's got a better 697 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,080 Speaker 1: quarterback now, so I like Thomas. He gets a B, 698 00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,839 Speaker 1: as does DeShawn Watson. On paper, you're likely to get 699 00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 1: to fifty and a touchdown and a half through the air, 700 00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 1: regardless of who he plays. New York is bottom seven 701 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:46,040 Speaker 1: an opponent passing touchdown percentage, which doesn't bode well for Watson, 702 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,759 Speaker 1: but he's still a threat with his legs. Despite having 703 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 1: two rushing touchdowns on the season, he could do some 704 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:54,439 Speaker 1: damage here. Mobile quarterbacks have had success against the Jets 705 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 1: in recent weeks, most notably Josh Allen's nine carries for 706 00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,799 Speaker 1: a hundred one yards and a touchdown. Marcus Mariotta had 707 00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,640 Speaker 1: four p plus yards mitched whisky top fifty yards, so 708 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:06,080 Speaker 1: Watson can certainly do the same. And real Quick Kiki 709 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:07,560 Speaker 1: Qti has been ruled out, so you don't want to 710 00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 1: contemplate him whatsoever. Over to the Jets really Quick Elijah 711 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:13,919 Speaker 1: McGuire and Robby Anderson, where both might take a chance. 712 00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:17,200 Speaker 1: Of the players, McGuire is the more safer floor, Anderson's 713 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 1: the boomero bust option there, and then Chris Herndon is 714 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 1: viable in the tight end waste Land. I'll give him 715 00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:25,120 Speaker 1: a see. Houston has allowed seven touchdowns a tight ends 716 00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 1: over the past seven games, and over the past month 717 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 1: they are allowing over eighty five yards per game to 718 00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,520 Speaker 1: the position and They've allowed a tight end to score 719 00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 1: in four of their six road games this year. You 720 00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:38,399 Speaker 1: remember this preseason when Deshaun Watson, the question was whether 721 00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,880 Speaker 1: or not he should be the number one ranked fantasy 722 00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,760 Speaker 1: quarterback because of all of the explosiveness that he showed 723 00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:48,040 Speaker 1: last year. None of that explosiveness has shut up this year. 724 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,760 Speaker 1: He's got one explosive game on the season. In all reality, 725 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:53,640 Speaker 1: people in the semi finals are probably not contemplating starting 726 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,480 Speaker 1: DeShawn Watson's probably not. He's just been He's been utterly 727 00:36:56,560 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 1: mundane a c LS last year at the quarterback position, 728 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,400 Speaker 1: and Watson and both of those guys are kind of 729 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 1: down this year and they and both of them had 730 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,759 Speaker 1: done really well in no small part because of their mobility, 731 00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 1: and you take that mobility away and it's just not 732 00:37:12,560 --> 00:37:14,759 Speaker 1: the same for those guys. Could be next year, could 733 00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 1: be next maybe maybe another year removed, but I don't 734 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,640 Speaker 1: know that they'll ever be this runners. They were Donovan 735 00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 1: McNabb to go old school, how about r G three. 736 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:26,760 Speaker 1: For a couple of years, Donovan McNabb was a really good, rushing, 737 00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,120 Speaker 1: mobile quarterback and then he got hurt, had a major 738 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,920 Speaker 1: knee injury and never really ran again at r G 739 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,280 Speaker 1: three is an extreme example of that. One good season 740 00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 1: as an amazing rusher and then nothing. So yeah, it's 741 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,799 Speaker 1: a lot of times they don't ever become rushing quarterbacks. Again. 742 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,160 Speaker 1: Let's go to stay. A couple of phone calls people 743 00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:44,840 Speaker 1: nice enough to be in hold for quite a while. 744 00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:49,640 Speaker 1: Uh Colin in Indiana, Hello, good morning, Thank you for 745 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:53,040 Speaker 1: taking my call. I appreciate it, no problem. Um, I'm 746 00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,520 Speaker 1: in a little bit of a pickle here. I had 747 00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,280 Speaker 1: like many Keenan Allen getting a zero. Yeah, the only 748 00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,160 Speaker 1: uh bonus was my homes had a bad game for 749 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:05,280 Speaker 1: my opponent. So I am starting an a rated Andrew 750 00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:10,000 Speaker 1: Luck and the Chicago Bears defense. But I don't know 751 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,239 Speaker 1: if I should rely on Hilton with the ankle or 752 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,640 Speaker 1: popping Aaron Jones versus the Bears and hope for the best. 753 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 1: I think if Hilton is playing, you go Hilton, and 754 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 1: because you're down already, UM, maybe you do do that 755 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:28,480 Speaker 1: and you double up on the Luck Hilton combo. The 756 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,960 Speaker 1: Jones matchup just sucks. I I don't I don't really 757 00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,040 Speaker 1: want any part of that unless it's desperation time. Well 758 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:39,040 Speaker 1: mark Ingram playing into this at all then no, he's 759 00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:44,080 Speaker 1: so touchdown dependent. I didn't think so bad, but I ask, yeah, Um, 760 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:45,360 Speaker 1: I think I think you got I think you have 761 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 1: very good advice for something that needs to come back 762 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,359 Speaker 1: from a deficit. I think that's the right way to go. Yeah, 763 00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:55,520 Speaker 1: all right, thanks Colin. Appreciate the calling from Indiana, Bennon, Wisconsin. Hello, 764 00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 1: hey guys, hopefully I can call in tomorrow next week 765 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:05,160 Speaker 1: rather than and uh, if not, marry Christmas. I appreciate you. 766 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:11,640 Speaker 1: Appreciate that so really quick. Um, I have to try 767 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 1: to decide on a defense. All the rankings outside of Years, 768 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:21,440 Speaker 1: which I usually go with, Years suggest Bears defense Packers 769 00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:26,719 Speaker 1: over the Ravens. Mm hmm. Well given given to the 770 00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:30,239 Speaker 1: Redskins as well, given the newer news about the Bear 771 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:35,319 Speaker 1: the Packers being without their starting right tackle against Khalil Mack. 772 00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,240 Speaker 1: I can't imagine I'd want to start anybody over the Bears. 773 00:39:38,960 --> 00:39:43,040 Speaker 1: You you don't like the Ravens at home against Jamis 774 00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,839 Speaker 1: Winston the pick machine, I do, although Winston has been 775 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,440 Speaker 1: a lot better in that regard. The point is, as 776 00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 1: I went against Mike Williams and I sat the running 777 00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:58,840 Speaker 1: back for the Chiefs. Williams so really quick. If I 778 00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:02,840 Speaker 1: can quick jump in, I'm I'm starting Tyler Boyd. Would 779 00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:08,360 Speaker 1: you start him over Ridley or Pettis or maybe ye 780 00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:14,399 Speaker 1: Ridley if he needs the ceiling. I think Ridley's got 781 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:16,960 Speaker 1: the high ceiling here boys got the Boy's got the 782 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:20,160 Speaker 1: Raiders and Nick Nelson in the also got Jeff driscoll Is. 783 00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:25,839 Speaker 1: This is true. Still, Yeah, I go Boyd, but that's 784 00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:27,880 Speaker 1: just that's just. If you want super high upside, I'd 785 00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:31,160 Speaker 1: go Ridley. I just hope that they throw away from 786 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:35,239 Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson the whole game. Yeah, there's an angle there. Thanks, Ben, 787 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:43,239 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Yeah. Um. When we come back, Titans take 788 00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:47,840 Speaker 1: on the Giants without Odell Beckham. Does that help or hurt? 789 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:52,840 Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd and say Kwon Barkley in a tricky matchup? 790 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:59,320 Speaker 1: Find out more when we come back.

You 821 00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:12,799 Speaker 1: think I would hold on, Let's do this more time. 822 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:20,799 Speaker 1: Hot question number one in the chart league where we 823 00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:23,360 Speaker 1: use free agent blind bidding, I've been holding onto my 824 00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,160 Speaker 1: final dollar of free agent money for several weeks in 825 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,000 Speaker 1: the event my kicker gets hurt because I only got 826 00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:30,840 Speaker 1: one kicker. And at that way, if I need to 827 00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:33,160 Speaker 1: make an emergency transaction, I've got my dollar for that 828 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:40,600 Speaker 1: one transaction. Should non waiver free agent claims just be 829 00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:45,000 Speaker 1: free hold and cost of dollar? Brian, I'll address your 830 00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,160 Speaker 1: kicker scenario when you tell me that I'm wrong for 831 00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,840 Speaker 1: saying you should get rid of the mandatory one dollar 832 00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:56,240 Speaker 1: for claims, or even as I'm all for zero dollar 833 00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,600 Speaker 1: claims and zero dollar first come, first serve. As Once 834 00:43:59,640 --> 00:44:02,640 Speaker 1: Weaver is run, you have to let teams give them 835 00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,839 Speaker 1: a chance to field a roster in the event of emergency, 836 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,000 Speaker 1: and really out there there could be teams that at 837 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:13,480 Speaker 1: Odell Beckham, Kareem Hunt, A. J. Green, Melvin James, James 838 00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,719 Speaker 1: Conner keeping it going mat rita A J. Green. And look, 839 00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,879 Speaker 1: if you let these guys make zero dollar claims, they're 840 00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,279 Speaker 1: not gonna get anybody good. And if they do, they 841 00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:24,880 Speaker 1: deserve those players because everyone else in your league is 842 00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:27,160 Speaker 1: asleep at the wheel. And then first come, first serve. 843 00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:28,520 Speaker 1: It should just be open for anyone. You just need 844 00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,160 Speaker 1: to allow people to field a full roster. And if 845 00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,560 Speaker 1: you make it where you have to pay one dollar, 846 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,680 Speaker 1: then that's impossible. Yes, and obviously you're talking about fictional 847 00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,120 Speaker 1: money based on your for your your hundred dollar or 848 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,840 Speaker 1: whatever cap that you use, uh in your league for 849 00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,000 Speaker 1: free agent plan bidding. I think this question came about 850 00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:45,799 Speaker 1: because Chart you and I had lunch the other day 851 00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:47,840 Speaker 1: and I asked you, is the Chart League the epitome 852 00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:51,640 Speaker 1: of like the perfect redraft league? And the first thing 853 00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:53,279 Speaker 1: that you came up with was, I don't know if 854 00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:56,560 Speaker 1: we should allow zero dollar bids in FAB and I 855 00:44:56,600 --> 00:44:59,800 Speaker 1: think you should. It's something that we made a change 856 00:44:59,800 --> 00:45:02,440 Speaker 1: on safe leagues. Uh. We used to have one dollar 857 00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,520 Speaker 1: minimum bids, and now we have zero dollar bids on 858 00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,840 Speaker 1: all Safe Leagues transactions. And it's just really well received 859 00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 1: by the fantasy community. And I think that's the uh, 860 00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:13,759 Speaker 1: it's it's the it's the more popular way to go 861 00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:16,560 Speaker 1: right now. The case for having to charging a dollar 862 00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:20,239 Speaker 1: for free agent transactions after the waiver wire has run 863 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:24,160 Speaker 1: is this, every transaction should have cost, it should have 864 00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:27,200 Speaker 1: weight to it. By living within the cap, you're proving 865 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,399 Speaker 1: something extra about your abilities as a team manager. Right 866 00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:33,000 Speaker 1: you know, there's still some extra strategy involved in my 867 00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:35,560 Speaker 1: case saving they're saving this dollar just in case I 868 00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:37,440 Speaker 1: need it, or at some point do I risk the dollar? 869 00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,480 Speaker 1: Right so, you know, do I do I right now? 870 00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:42,200 Speaker 1: You know, do I risk that dollar and just say 871 00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:43,840 Speaker 1: I think my Dallas kicker is gonna be okay the 872 00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,520 Speaker 1: rest of the way. Um, there is some strategy to that. 873 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:51,359 Speaker 1: But there's also the zero dollars. The zero dollar side 874 00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:54,200 Speaker 1: of it is that, you know, transactions still do have 875 00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:55,920 Speaker 1: a cost to built into them because I have to 876 00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 1: drop somebody right now. A lot of leagues used to 877 00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:01,040 Speaker 1: you know what I think is, you know, it's not 878 00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:03,000 Speaker 1: how I like to play when you've got twenty two 879 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,439 Speaker 1: guys on your roster dropping somebody doesn't even have any weight, 880 00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:08,080 Speaker 1: And I don't like it there, But um, you know 881 00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,760 Speaker 1: for my leagues that are almost universally with short rosters, 882 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,800 Speaker 1: uh you do have you know, it does cost you something. 883 00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,600 Speaker 1: And I like the idea of eliminating some element of 884 00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,839 Speaker 1: luck because you know, this kicker situation I'm in is luck. 885 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,839 Speaker 1: The situation that Brian just described, with all the eight 886 00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:24,799 Speaker 1: injuries that all hit one team, or even just three 887 00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:26,160 Speaker 1: that hit one team at the end of the year, 888 00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:28,839 Speaker 1: it ends up being really a matter of just bad luck. 889 00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:31,279 Speaker 1: And that's not how I want to decide leagues. So 890 00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,480 Speaker 1: after a lot of consternation and a lot of thinking, 891 00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:39,960 Speaker 1: I believe the correct answer are zero dollar waiver wire bids, 892 00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:48,400 Speaker 1: not waiver wire, post waiver wire free agent costs. Question 893 00:46:48,560 --> 00:46:53,480 Speaker 1: number two, Carson wentz season is almost certainly over next year. 894 00:46:53,560 --> 00:46:55,800 Speaker 1: Is he a top five quarterback, top ten quarterback or 895 00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 1: lower than ten? Matt uh. Here are the quarterbacks that 896 00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:02,120 Speaker 1: I will have ranked higher than Wentz next season. Mahomes, 897 00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:06,800 Speaker 1: big Ben, Matt, Ryan, Luck, Newton, Breeze, Goff, Watson, Rivers, Rogers, 898 00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:11,120 Speaker 1: Brady Cousins Wilson. That's a thirteen right there, so I 899 00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:16,399 Speaker 1: guess he's below ten. Yeah, I don't have much to add. 900 00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:21,000 Speaker 1: And I think Jimmy Garoppolo could even All those guys 901 00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,680 Speaker 1: I named, by the way, have more Fantasy points per 902 00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:27,520 Speaker 1: game than Wentz this year too. Yeah, I think this 903 00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:29,319 Speaker 1: year is gonna be tricky this year. In my league, 904 00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:31,840 Speaker 1: charch League, he's quarterback twelve in the weeks he's played 905 00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:34,480 Speaker 1: weeks third, three through fourteen, so that puts him in 906 00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:38,839 Speaker 1: the conversation for top ten. Um there are I gotta 907 00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,439 Speaker 1: I got my list of guys as well, but they're 908 00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:43,640 Speaker 1: in My list is very very similar to your list. 909 00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:45,680 Speaker 1: But here's why I'm gonna take some of the guys 910 00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:48,960 Speaker 1: out of your list. Brady and Breeze. I think I'd 911 00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,000 Speaker 1: rather be a week a year early than a week 912 00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,960 Speaker 1: too late on the end coming for those guys, and 913 00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:56,040 Speaker 1: so I think they're going to be outside of my 914 00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,960 Speaker 1: Outside of that group you just mentioned, Golf I think 915 00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,439 Speaker 1: is going to be outside because Girly just siphons off 916 00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,000 Speaker 1: too many scores in some games and he leaves you 917 00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,400 Speaker 1: with a bad box score in too many games. So 918 00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:09,080 Speaker 1: I think Golf is gonna be on the outside of that. 919 00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:13,719 Speaker 1: So that takes my thirteen Mine was thirteen two down 920 00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:16,960 Speaker 1: to ten and I have exactly right now number ten. 921 00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:18,799 Speaker 1: Now that's it. If you told me Golden Tate's not 922 00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:21,200 Speaker 1: coming back, that might be enough to get me out. 923 00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:23,279 Speaker 1: He's in a contract year. But I'm just I'm gonna 924 00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:25,319 Speaker 1: assume that the team that's got his rights now and 925 00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,560 Speaker 1: could potentially either transition tag him or franchise tag him, 926 00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:31,160 Speaker 1: is gonna keep Golden Tate. And I think given that 927 00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:36,719 Speaker 1: top ten is the correct answer. Oh wait, did you go? 928 00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:46,160 Speaker 1: Did I skip you? Vanni's hot question? Number three? Odell 929 00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:50,279 Speaker 1: Backham season is probably done. What I know next year 930 00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,839 Speaker 1: is he a top five wide receiver, a top ten 931 00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,960 Speaker 1: wide receiver or lower than ten. We go to our 932 00:48:56,040 --> 00:49:01,239 Speaker 1: Giant's desk and Brian Johnson, Uh, his injury is not 933 00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:03,880 Speaker 1: threatening the start of next season. So I'm just gonna 934 00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:06,040 Speaker 1: keep it short and sweet and say he's definitely inside 935 00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:09,000 Speaker 1: my top five. Just think I mean, Michael Thomas, DeAndre Hopkins, 936 00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,080 Speaker 1: you know Julio. People have mixed emotions about Julio will 937 00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:13,560 Speaker 1: be in the top five wide receiver. But I'm just 938 00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:15,799 Speaker 1: gonna say, yes, I will have Odell Beckham inside my 939 00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,960 Speaker 1: top five unless something unforeseen happens over the summer, which 940 00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:21,759 Speaker 1: is very well could with him. Actually, here are the 941 00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:25,080 Speaker 1: wide receivers I for sure want over Odell next year. 942 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:29,720 Speaker 1: Antonio Brown, Michael Thomas, Julio Jones, Davante Adams, Adam Theelan 943 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:33,879 Speaker 1: Tyreek Killed, DeAndre Hopkins, and Juju Smith Schuster. That's eight 944 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,200 Speaker 1: right there. There's a whole bunch of wide receivers that 945 00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:39,919 Speaker 1: are kind of in that same tier with Beckham, Keenan Allen, A. J. Green, 946 00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:44,719 Speaker 1: Mike Evans, and Mark Cooper Stefon Diggs. So that comes 947 00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:46,839 Speaker 1: down to who's the quarterback in New York next year? 948 00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,920 Speaker 1: Can I Can it get worse than Eli? It certainly could. 949 00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:52,360 Speaker 1: Is that Joe Flacco? Is it Blake Bortles? Is that 950 00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:55,279 Speaker 1: Jamis Winston? I don't know yet, So I think he's 951 00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:57,360 Speaker 1: lower than tent Right now, did you really put Amari 952 00:49:57,440 --> 00:50:00,239 Speaker 1: Cooper in the same categories Odell Beckham? Absolutely, he's a 953 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:05,239 Speaker 1: better wide receiver right now? Yeah? Right? Sample size all right? Whatever? Okay? Uh. 954 00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:09,000 Speaker 1: Matt summed this up almost point by point through my list, 955 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,160 Speaker 1: including your list of receivers, was identical to mind with 956 00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,120 Speaker 1: one exception. And I had also had my secondary list 957 00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,160 Speaker 1: filled with all the same guys that you talk except 958 00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:19,640 Speaker 1: Robert Woods. And then you throw in this mystery at 959 00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,440 Speaker 1: quarterback where I think there's a decent chance that an 960 00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:25,399 Speaker 1: even older and worse and more noodle arm lay Man, 961 00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:29,600 Speaker 1: he's still your quarterback. I think that he will not 962 00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:34,399 Speaker 1: crack my top ten Odell Beckham outside of the top 963 00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,080 Speaker 1: ten next year. And by the way, and as somebody 964 00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:39,399 Speaker 1: that's i've owned him in in in my twenty team 965 00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:41,759 Speaker 1: league in back to back years, got him. I tired 966 00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,919 Speaker 1: of his injuries. Jeez, it's you know, Willie play, won't play? 967 00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:46,320 Speaker 1: Will he finish a game? You know? And then he 968 00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:48,400 Speaker 1: missed all last year most of last year. We might 969 00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,560 Speaker 1: as well say a J. Green sucks too. I don't 970 00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:52,279 Speaker 1: even have Green. I don't have Green out my list. 971 00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:55,240 Speaker 1: I don't even have Green in this list. I noticed. 972 00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:59,160 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean that there's something I didn't mention to. 973 00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:03,000 Speaker 1: The addition se Kwan makes it not as important for 974 00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,560 Speaker 1: Odell to be the feature in that offense because Kuan 975 00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:08,640 Speaker 1: is so good and he's gonna be probably RB one. 976 00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:11,359 Speaker 1: If he's not RB one, you're doing it wrong. Next year, 977 00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,560 Speaker 1: well Odell was on a ridiculous stretch from his injury too, 978 00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:17,360 Speaker 1: So don't forget that. But I'm gonna forget it. Titans 979 00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:23,040 Speaker 1: take on the Giants, matt Um, I don't really, I don't. 980 00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:24,839 Speaker 1: I don't, I don't. I was gonna try to lead 981 00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:27,080 Speaker 1: in with something compelling about the Titans. How about this 982 00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:32,719 Speaker 1: last week the Derrick Henry bit, will he have one 983 00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:36,760 Speaker 1: third of the yardage? Maybe I gave him a B grade. 984 00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:40,200 Speaker 1: I started looking at the backfields the Giants have faced recently, 985 00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:42,000 Speaker 1: and let me know if any of these like stick 986 00:51:42,040 --> 00:51:48,000 Speaker 1: out to you. Is super good backfields? Washington, Chicago, Philly, Tampa, 987 00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:53,040 Speaker 1: San fran Washington again, Atlanta, Philly again. Those are the 988 00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:56,759 Speaker 1: last eight games. Chicago is pretty good backfield. It's not 989 00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,720 Speaker 1: super impressive though, right there's not There's not a fantasy 990 00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:01,759 Speaker 1: stuff it in there. Mostly those are not good back 991 00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:05,400 Speaker 1: Eight different running backs have topped eighty total yards in 992 00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:08,920 Speaker 1: that list right there. That's crazy. Uh So this stat's 993 00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:11,880 Speaker 1: courtesy of Evan Silva. By the way, uh Derrick Henry's 994 00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:15,080 Speaker 1: averaging five point four yards per carry and a touchdown 995 00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:18,319 Speaker 1: per game in career December games and four point one 996 00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:21,040 Speaker 1: yards per carry with a quarter touchdown in games in 997 00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:23,719 Speaker 1: any other month. So Henry gets the B grade. But 998 00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:27,399 Speaker 1: he's still splitting touches with Dion Lewis, and so Dean 999 00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,600 Speaker 1: Lewis gets us C grade as well. I just highlighted 1000 00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:33,600 Speaker 1: the giants deficiency against backs since Snacks left. I'll add 1001 00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:36,280 Speaker 1: that they've allowed the third most receiving yards to opposing 1002 00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:38,560 Speaker 1: running backs in their last five, so Dean Lewis is 1003 00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:42,800 Speaker 1: in play. Marcus Mariota barely startable. The Giants have allowed 1004 00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:44,759 Speaker 1: an average of twenty seven points per game over their 1005 00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:48,320 Speaker 1: last three while facing Josh Jackson, Chase Daniel, Nick Mullins, 1006 00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:50,759 Speaker 1: So that's good for Mariota. But on the other hand, 1007 00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:53,480 Speaker 1: he's throwing twenty four or fewer pass attempts in four 1008 00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:55,640 Speaker 1: of the last five, and the Giants have only allowed 1009 00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:58,640 Speaker 1: multiple passing scores in one of their last eight games. 1010 00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:02,040 Speaker 1: With at Corey Davis is just a C grade two. 1011 00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:04,480 Speaker 1: It's really tough to rely on him. He's super inconsistent, 1012 00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:07,520 Speaker 1: and he faces generous Jenkins this week, who over the 1013 00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:10,160 Speaker 1: last three weeks has only allowed twenty two yards in 1014 00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:13,440 Speaker 1: his coverage, and granted, remember the quarterbacks he faced over 1015 00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:16,880 Speaker 1: those three, So it's uh, it's not great. Uh. Anthony 1016 00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:19,640 Speaker 1: Firkser is a real life person. And if you're extremely 1017 00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:21,719 Speaker 1: desperate for a tight end, John H. Smith had I 1018 00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:25,240 Speaker 1: r we are in the playoffs. Yeah, the Giants allowed 1019 00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:27,840 Speaker 1: the fifth most receptions to tight ends. But Anthony ferks 1020 00:53:27,960 --> 00:53:30,439 Speaker 1: is not in your line up. Play him over Jimmy Graham. Yeah, 1021 00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:35,080 Speaker 1: it's probably yeah. Uh. O'Dell's ruled out with a quad 1022 00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:37,440 Speaker 1: injury and very quickly, ELI in the passing game are 1023 00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:41,239 Speaker 1: all on the bench. Maybe Evan Ingram. Uh. Titans are 1024 00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:44,520 Speaker 1: top five in passing yards and touchdowns allowed. Stirling Shepard 1025 00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:48,280 Speaker 1: hasn't topped thirty seven yards since weeks seven. Evan Ingram 1026 00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:50,960 Speaker 1: did catch three passes for seventy seven yards last week 1027 00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:53,319 Speaker 1: and tends to be only relevant when Odell Beckham is 1028 00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:56,440 Speaker 1: not in play. O'Dell's not playing this week, So if 1029 00:53:56,480 --> 00:54:00,400 Speaker 1: I'm playing any part of that passing game, it's Evan Ingram. Uh. People, 1030 00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:02,240 Speaker 1: I've had a bunch of people reach out on Twitter 1031 00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:04,920 Speaker 1: or just personally that they want to start Sterling Shepherd 1032 00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,399 Speaker 1: because Odell Beckham's gone. I'm like, that doesn't help him, 1033 00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:09,960 Speaker 1: that hurts him. This is that's no help with Sterling. 1034 00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:13,080 Speaker 1: Sterling was good last year when Beckham was gone for 1035 00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:14,920 Speaker 1: for quite a bit of the season, but he just 1036 00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:16,880 Speaker 1: hasn't been there the last couple of months. No, and 1037 00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:19,719 Speaker 1: I think he I frankly, I just think if you're 1038 00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:21,920 Speaker 1: gonna stop somebody in that passing him means take away 1039 00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:24,560 Speaker 1: Sterling Shepherd and you go make Russell Shepherd beat you. 1040 00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:27,520 Speaker 1: And there was no virtually no running game for the 1041 00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:30,120 Speaker 1: Giants last year, and that has completely changed this season. 1042 00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,719 Speaker 1: Of course, that is true. Raiders take on the Bengals. 1043 00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:35,239 Speaker 1: I already mentioned Derek Carr might take a chance on 1044 00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:37,480 Speaker 1: me quarterback. I've got a C grade on him. Jared 1045 00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:39,560 Speaker 1: Cook all the way up in an a. There are 1046 00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:42,880 Speaker 1: only three quality tight ends who have faced the Bengals 1047 00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:46,440 Speaker 1: all year. All three of them scored. Eric Keebron, Travis Kelsey, 1048 00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:49,120 Speaker 1: O j Howard. Cook has been on a tear for 1049 00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:51,560 Speaker 1: the last month. Touchdowns in three games out of four 1050 00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:53,799 Speaker 1: and back to back one hundred yard games for a 1051 00:54:53,840 --> 00:54:57,800 Speaker 1: tight end. That's awesome. A grade on Jared Cook. Jordy 1052 00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:01,040 Speaker 1: Nelson clocking in with a C grade. Finally healthy in 1053 00:55:01,040 --> 00:55:03,799 Speaker 1: the last two weeks, He's been targeted eighteen times, while 1054 00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:09,520 Speaker 1: posting how many is that per game? Nine times, while 1055 00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:12,320 Speaker 1: posting almost one hundred fifty yards in the two games. 1056 00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:15,480 Speaker 1: He is a plausible dart throw against a very inconsistent 1057 00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:18,200 Speaker 1: Bengals secondary. Let's go to the running game, Doug Martin 1058 00:55:18,239 --> 00:55:20,240 Speaker 1: all the way up to a B this week. Bengals 1059 00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:22,320 Speaker 1: have given up at least one touchdown to a running 1060 00:55:22,320 --> 00:55:24,760 Speaker 1: back in twelve straight games, and no team has allowed 1061 00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:28,600 Speaker 1: more fantasy points to running backs this year than the Bengals. 1062 00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:32,400 Speaker 1: After a very promising start, though, Doug Martin has reverted 1063 00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:34,920 Speaker 1: to his old self. He's averaging just barely three yards 1064 00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:36,759 Speaker 1: per carry over the last two games, and he hasn't 1065 00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:39,400 Speaker 1: topped seventy two rushing yards or ninety two combine yards 1066 00:55:39,400 --> 00:55:42,000 Speaker 1: all season, So that does tap his upside a little bit. 1067 00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:44,520 Speaker 1: But a very strong matchup and for once, the Raiders 1068 00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:47,160 Speaker 1: probably aren't playing from a big deficit. So I like 1069 00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:49,160 Speaker 1: Doug Martin here, and I think he's a sneaky play. 1070 00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:50,960 Speaker 1: Do you know, is what's his what's his cost in 1071 00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:53,279 Speaker 1: on fan ball? Do you know? Look really look it 1072 00:55:53,360 --> 00:55:57,800 Speaker 1: up really quick. I know Georgy is a great play. 1073 00:55:57,840 --> 00:55:59,759 Speaker 1: I think Doug might be too let's while you're looking 1074 00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:02,080 Speaker 1: at I'll mentioned Jalon or Shard while we're talking Raiders 1075 00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:03,880 Speaker 1: and wrap it up there. The Bengals have allowed the 1076 00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:07,680 Speaker 1: most touchdowns to opposing runners through the air. Six. That's 1077 00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:10,799 Speaker 1: the bid on Richard who never scores, but still six 1078 00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:13,719 Speaker 1: h six passing touchdowns to running backs is a lot. 1079 00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:16,160 Speaker 1: They've also allowed forty four or more receiving yards to 1080 00:56:16,239 --> 00:56:19,880 Speaker 1: a runner six different times. Jalen Richard, Jalen Richard is 1081 00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,520 Speaker 1: a is A is a reasonable play here in PPR 1082 00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:27,560 Speaker 1: leagues to muscle Hamster. That's it's also a goodbye. I 1083 00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:29,520 Speaker 1: just I just think people just see Raiders and I'm like, 1084 00:56:29,719 --> 00:56:32,080 Speaker 1: I'm I'm out. But I think this is when you 1085 00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:34,879 Speaker 1: see Bengals defense, you go, I'm in. I'm in. This 1086 00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:38,840 Speaker 1: game is the reason fantasy football exists as oaklind Cincinnati 1087 00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:41,640 Speaker 1: without it down that the only people watching, the only 1088 00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:44,120 Speaker 1: people who care. People in Oakland don't even care anymore. 1089 00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:46,399 Speaker 1: Let's go to the Bengal side. Joe Mixon gets a beat. 1090 00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:49,120 Speaker 1: He saw a season high thirty one touches last week 1091 00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:51,680 Speaker 1: with this is with a j green out, Uh that 1092 00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,800 Speaker 1: you know this offense really does go through Joe Mixon. 1093 00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:57,719 Speaker 1: He's also topped one hundred thirty eight yards and two 1094 00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:00,760 Speaker 1: of the last three weeks in Oakland's LAS two games, 1095 00:57:01,040 --> 00:57:04,239 Speaker 1: they held backups Spencer wear and Jalen Samuel's in check. 1096 00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:08,279 Speaker 1: But overall, let's remember the Raiders rank bottom three and 1097 00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:11,200 Speaker 1: rushing attempts and rushing yards per game, and their twenty 1098 00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:13,600 Speaker 1: seven yards per carry. This is a very plus matchup 1099 00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:16,400 Speaker 1: for Joe Mixon. We'll give him a B grade. Tyler 1100 00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:18,840 Speaker 1: Boyd also with a B. Raiders secondaries a lot of 1101 00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:22,040 Speaker 1: four scores and one one yard game to opposing receivers 1102 00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:25,560 Speaker 1: and just their last three games. Tyler Boyd runs mostly 1103 00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:28,880 Speaker 1: from the slot, where he'll see struggling slot cornerback Nick Nelson. 1104 00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:32,160 Speaker 1: Nelson allows a passer rating of one hundred thirty and 1105 00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:34,200 Speaker 1: he's given up at least eighty three yards in two 1106 00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:37,280 Speaker 1: of his last four games. So Tyler Boyd a nice 1107 00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:39,080 Speaker 1: B grade. Here. John Ross is on the bench. I 1108 00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:40,960 Speaker 1: know he has scored in six different games, but and 1109 00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,000 Speaker 1: so you might be thinking John Ross is better than 1110 00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:47,160 Speaker 1: he is. What you probably don't realize those touchdowns are 1111 00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:52,280 Speaker 1: masking one point eight receptions per game and twenty yards 1112 00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:55,880 Speaker 1: per game for John Ross. That's it. If he does 1113 00:57:55,920 --> 00:58:00,439 Speaker 1: not score, he daggers your team. How we do not time? 1114 00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:03,480 Speaker 1: Let's take a break. When we come back, more matchups, 1115 00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:09,520 Speaker 1: including Seahawks taking on the forty Niners. Does Tyler Lockett 1116 00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:13,680 Speaker 1: continue his strong season? Russell Wilson? Will he bounce back 1117 00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:16,920 Speaker 1: after a dreadful fantasy game against the Vikings? Find out 1118 00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:21,000 Speaker 1: when we come back. This is Fantasy my green bill 1119 00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:36,360 Speaker 1: Premium on the van. If your league did not knock 1120 00:58:36,480 --> 00:58:40,360 Speaker 1: out Todd Gurley last week, you got a big problem coming. 1121 00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:43,320 Speaker 1: We'll tell you about the Rams game in um a 1122 00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:45,480 Speaker 1: little later in the show. But that's that was your 1123 00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:49,480 Speaker 1: big opportunity. Knockout Todd Gurley last week. This week he's 1124 00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:52,000 Speaker 1: my number one ranked running back. It's gonna be tricking. 1125 00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:56,000 Speaker 1: Why did you whisper that a little seductively there? Because 1126 00:58:56,200 --> 00:58:59,200 Speaker 1: what what he's what he the box score he's gonna 1127 00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:02,160 Speaker 1: put up is it's going to be borderline sexual for 1128 00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:05,520 Speaker 1: his owners? Yeah? There, uh yeah. In most cases the 1129 00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:08,360 Speaker 1: guys who guys and girls who you know, the Rams 1130 00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:11,000 Speaker 1: propelled them to the playoffs. Most of them probably had 1131 00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:13,439 Speaker 1: a bye last week. Was there is there a better 1132 00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:18,800 Speaker 1: times Fantasy Football by wedding of the Rams. Absolutely, absolutely 1133 00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:23,320 Speaker 1: Seahawks take on the forty Niners. Brian Russell Wilson, speaking 1134 00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:26,840 Speaker 1: of bad last week's seventy passing yards last week scoreless 1135 00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:30,160 Speaker 1: passing yards, probably bounces back nicely here against the forty 1136 00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:32,920 Speaker 1: Niners though, right, Yeah, these teams just played in week 1137 00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:36,640 Speaker 1: two weeks ago. I hate it when they do that. Yeah, 1138 00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:39,400 Speaker 1: it's it's kind of bizarre, real quick. The Saints and Panthers. 1139 00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:42,120 Speaker 1: They're playing for the first time this week, right week seventeen. 1140 00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:43,720 Speaker 1: It is a second game. That's even weird. But anyway, 1141 00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:46,360 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, I'm gonna give him an a. Despite just 1142 00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:48,520 Speaker 1: seventeen pass attempts a couple of weeks ago, he did 1143 00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:51,360 Speaker 1: throw for four touchdowns, and the only quarterbacks who have 1144 00:59:51,400 --> 00:59:53,680 Speaker 1: failed to throw for multiple touchdowns against the forty Niners 1145 00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:56,440 Speaker 1: are case Keenum, Derek Are and Josh Rosen. So Russell 1146 00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:59,160 Speaker 1: Wilson still an elite play giving him an a. His 1147 00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:01,919 Speaker 1: wide receiver Tyler Lockett can give him an a as well. 1148 01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:04,320 Speaker 1: Only had one catch in the first meeting, but it 1149 01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:06,560 Speaker 1: was for a fifty two yard touchdown. There's just should 1150 01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:08,640 Speaker 1: be more volume passing for Seattle in this game to 1151 01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:11,600 Speaker 1: lock it is an obvious A. I'm benching Doug Baldwin. 1152 01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:15,000 Speaker 1: Pete Carroll's optimistic Baldwin will play. He actually played in 1153 01:00:15,040 --> 01:00:17,160 Speaker 1: that first meeting and scored a touchdown on one catch 1154 01:00:17,200 --> 01:00:19,160 Speaker 1: as well. But I'm not trusting them in in the 1155 01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:23,040 Speaker 1: fantasy playoffs and groin injuries and receivers reinjure all the time, 1156 01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:25,600 Speaker 1: and and I I'm not going as far as uh 1157 01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:29,640 Speaker 1: the more h Moore or John brown Um. And then 1158 01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:31,720 Speaker 1: tight end, I don't remember who starts for tight end 1159 01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,440 Speaker 1: for Seattle either, not recommending you start him either whoever 1160 01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:38,600 Speaker 1: it is in this gamet or Ed Dixon or who knows. 1161 01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:41,800 Speaker 1: And then Chris Carson. Lastly, he gets an a thirteen 1162 01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:44,560 Speaker 1: carries for sixty nine nice yards against the Niners in 1163 01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:47,320 Speaker 1: that Week thirteen game. Penny eight into his workload in 1164 01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:49,400 Speaker 1: that game with seven carries for sixty five yards in 1165 01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:52,280 Speaker 1: a touchdown. But Rashott Penny has been ruled out, so 1166 01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:54,480 Speaker 1: Chris Carson is an elite play this week, giving him 1167 01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:57,080 Speaker 1: an A. Uh. Speaking of elite, let's go over to 1168 01:00:57,120 --> 01:01:00,919 Speaker 1: the forty Niners and George Kittle. George Kittle has over 1169 01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:05,520 Speaker 1: seven hundred yards after the catch. Wown high tight ends 1170 01:01:05,560 --> 01:01:08,240 Speaker 1: have seven hundred yards probably none. The second highest is 1171 01:01:08,320 --> 01:01:11,680 Speaker 1: juju in like the five fifty range. Wow. There are 1172 01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:15,080 Speaker 1: twenty seven players with seven hundred regular receiving yards in 1173 01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:17,800 Speaker 1: the NFL this year. Are Jugo has seven hundred after 1174 01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:19,840 Speaker 1: the catch? Make your call right now that you're gonna 1175 01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:22,160 Speaker 1: have Kittles your number one tight end next year. There 1176 01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:25,120 Speaker 1: are only three other tight ends besides Kittle that have 1177 01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:28,480 Speaker 1: and that's what Kidle has after the catch. I've already 1178 01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:30,360 Speaker 1: put him. I got him ahead of Earth's. I still 1179 01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:32,720 Speaker 1: gotta go Kelsey first. But yeah, Kittle, I got killed 1180 01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:35,560 Speaker 1: bub Earth right now. But anyway, he's in a uh 1181 01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:38,640 Speaker 1: despite having just six catches for seventy yards in the 1182 01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:41,160 Speaker 1: first meeting. That's probably his floor in this one. You're 1183 01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:43,240 Speaker 1: clearly not gonna bench Kittle, and if you are, I 1184 01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:45,480 Speaker 1: don't want to hear about what league you're in. So 1185 01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:48,280 Speaker 1: he gets in a Marky's Goodwin. Sadly on the bench. 1186 01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:50,720 Speaker 1: Added to the injury report on Thursday with the calf injury. 1187 01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:52,760 Speaker 1: Just the lost season for him. Pretty sad he's on 1188 01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:54,880 Speaker 1: the bench. Dante Pettis is not, by the way, He'll 1189 01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:57,440 Speaker 1: be a nice last pick of your draft next year. Definitely, 1190 01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:00,560 Speaker 1: he's gonna be way off radars next year to himself 1191 01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,160 Speaker 1: and Dante Pettis. I canna give him a be He's 1192 01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:04,840 Speaker 1: a kind of that hail Mary play you might be 1193 01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:07,120 Speaker 1: looking for if you're a Keenan Allen owner. He's certainly 1194 01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:09,160 Speaker 1: paid off two weeks ago with a hundred twenty nine 1195 01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:12,600 Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. Not guaranteeing that repeat performance, but 1196 01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:15,440 Speaker 1: he is a viable play as the top pass catcher 1197 01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:18,320 Speaker 1: when it comes to wide receivers for of course, uh 1198 01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:19,640 Speaker 1: and for that reason, I like those two. I like 1199 01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:22,040 Speaker 1: Nickmullins might take a chance let me quarterback. You can 1200 01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:23,800 Speaker 1: go back and listen to the podcast if you missed that. 1201 01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:28,040 Speaker 1: And then for the running backs, Matt Brita limited all 1202 01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:30,800 Speaker 1: we can practice. You just don't he could pop up 1203 01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:33,280 Speaker 1: and play. You never know, you never know. That's so frustrating. 1204 01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:35,320 Speaker 1: I think he plays in this one and every other 1205 01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:38,400 Speaker 1: time that he's been active, he ends up starting the game, 1206 01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:40,080 Speaker 1: but then you never know if he's gonna finish it. 1207 01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:43,600 Speaker 1: When frustrating. Yeah, So if you're banking on Justin Williams 1208 01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:46,160 Speaker 1: as a Justin Wilson as a starter, you better be 1209 01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:48,120 Speaker 1: wary of that. But it is a good matchup for 1210 01:02:48,200 --> 01:02:50,240 Speaker 1: running backs. Since week nine, the Stoks are giving up 1211 01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:52,920 Speaker 1: a hundred sixty plus combo yards and one plus touchdowns 1212 01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:55,640 Speaker 1: per game, and uh Wilson had a hundred three or 1213 01:02:55,640 --> 01:02:57,400 Speaker 1: four compo yards in that first meeting, So you got 1214 01:02:57,520 --> 01:02:59,960 Speaker 1: you got a monitor of that situation very closely. Though 1215 01:03:00,160 --> 01:03:03,400 Speaker 1: for sure Washington takes on the Jaguars Matt. In my mind, 1216 01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:06,680 Speaker 1: there's one startable player in this entire matchup, Leonard four Nett. 1217 01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:09,680 Speaker 1: Nobody else you like yelled in though I had yell 1218 01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:12,040 Speaker 1: starting great on anyone else other than for Net and 1219 01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:14,080 Speaker 1: yelled in. I had yelled in, and then I Westbrook 1220 01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:16,320 Speaker 1: as might take a chance on the wide receiver as well. 1221 01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:18,920 Speaker 1: I don't even feel that great about those guys. So 1222 01:03:19,200 --> 01:03:21,560 Speaker 1: if you shouldn't know, I I try to take these 1223 01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:24,720 Speaker 1: stabs to to find some some lower level guys that yeah, okay, 1224 01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:27,120 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfielah, you know, I'm I'm I'm I'm a man 1225 01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:29,080 Speaker 1: of the people. Uh four Nett. I gave the A 1226 01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:31,560 Speaker 1: grade two. Over the last three weeks, Washington's allowed one 1227 01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:35,880 Speaker 1: to Zeke one se both Lamar Miller and Josh Adams 1228 01:03:35,960 --> 01:03:39,560 Speaker 1: top to eighty five yards apiece. UH. Tackle Jeremy Parnell 1229 01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:42,040 Speaker 1: is out for the Jaguars. That's a that's a little 1230 01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:45,640 Speaker 1: bad for for net, but he's gonna get thirty touches 1231 01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:48,200 Speaker 1: in this game. UH. Cody Kessler in the passing game, 1232 01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:51,240 Speaker 1: all on the bench forty three passing attempts. Last week 1233 01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:53,440 Speaker 1: for Kessler, all I could manage was to forty and one. 1234 01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:55,480 Speaker 1: In the prior week when they kept the ball on 1235 01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:58,200 Speaker 1: the ground, he only had twenty four attempts. That's probably 1236 01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:00,120 Speaker 1: what we're gonna see this game, and he only two 1237 01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:03,200 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards. So basically the passing game is 1238 01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:06,880 Speaker 1: all on the bench. On the other side, it's Adrian Peterson. 1239 01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:09,160 Speaker 1: I gave a C grade two, although if you take 1240 01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:11,520 Speaker 1: away his nine d yard run. It's been a disaster 1241 01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:15,200 Speaker 1: APS averaging under two yards per carry since Colt mccoig 1242 01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:19,640 Speaker 1: broke his leg. But a similarly big running back did 1243 01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:22,760 Speaker 1: torch this Jaguars defense for two d some yards and 1244 01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:26,919 Speaker 1: four touchdowns. When was that last week? Really? We never 1245 01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:30,720 Speaker 1: saw it coming, So yeah, I mean you the Jaguars 1246 01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:34,560 Speaker 1: really mail it in again and play with as as 1247 01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:37,280 Speaker 1: as little energy and effort as they did last week. 1248 01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:41,040 Speaker 1: It's possible. Uh, Josh Johnson and the passing game are 1249 01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:44,560 Speaker 1: on the bench. Yeah, stop, just right there. Good, Okay, 1250 01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:48,960 Speaker 1: Buccaneers taking on the Ravens. Let's start with Jamis Winston 1251 01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:51,280 Speaker 1: with a C grade here in a brutally tough matchup. 1252 01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:57,919 Speaker 1: Now to Jamis is Jamison's Jamis's credit. Jamison is whiskey. Yes, 1253 01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:01,880 Speaker 1: it's delicious. Whiskey is what it is. Since his most 1254 01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:06,400 Speaker 1: recent unbenching, Winston has limited his mistakes with just one 1255 01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:09,480 Speaker 1: pick in three full games. He's also thrown exactly two 1256 01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:12,160 Speaker 1: touchdowns in each of them, which isn't bad, but you 1257 01:05:12,200 --> 01:05:15,400 Speaker 1: don't get two touchdowns against an elite raven secondary very easily. 1258 01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:18,160 Speaker 1: Since Jimmy Smith's returned from suspension, the Ravens are giving 1259 01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:20,560 Speaker 1: up just two sixteen passing yards one and a half 1260 01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:23,200 Speaker 1: touchdowns per game. There are several injuries though in the 1261 01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:26,720 Speaker 1: Ravens secondary. Check their status on Sunday. On Sunday morning, 1262 01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:29,480 Speaker 1: they had a bunch of questionable guys. Three three starters 1263 01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:32,120 Speaker 1: and their secondary. They're all questionable. Check their status. That 1264 01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:34,360 Speaker 1: might give you a ray of hope for Winston. If 1265 01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:37,120 Speaker 1: some of those guys do miss time Mike Evans gets 1266 01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:39,720 Speaker 1: a C grade, it feels like a major letdown coming here. 1267 01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:43,080 Speaker 1: No receiver has scored a touchdown. Get this, No receivers 1268 01:05:43,080 --> 01:05:45,400 Speaker 1: scored a touchdown against Baltimore in the last three weeks, 1269 01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:49,120 Speaker 1: and that includes Julio Jones and Tyreek hill Church. Come on, 1270 01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:52,240 Speaker 1: let's be ballsy. Mike Evans is on the bench. He's 1271 01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:54,360 Speaker 1: on the bench in this game. You don't start him 1272 01:05:54,360 --> 01:05:57,000 Speaker 1: in this I don't know if I can flat out 1273 01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:59,240 Speaker 1: put him on the bench. I don't think I can. 1274 01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:02,240 Speaker 1: I'm not, I'm not. I'm close. Evans hasn't faced the 1275 01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:04,840 Speaker 1: defense that ranks in the top ten against receivers all season, 1276 01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:07,440 Speaker 1: so this should be tougher than what he's seen. Baltimore's 1277 01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:09,920 Speaker 1: only allowed three catches of more than forty yards on 1278 01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:12,440 Speaker 1: the season, so the deep ball is not going to 1279 01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:15,439 Speaker 1: be there either. But if you think Winston's gonna have well, 1280 01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:17,240 Speaker 1: the thing is, here's the catch. If you think Winston 1281 01:06:17,320 --> 01:06:20,320 Speaker 1: is good for a touchdown, it's going to the guy 1282 01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:24,040 Speaker 1: with an A grade, Cameron Braid. He has scored three 1283 01:06:24,080 --> 01:06:27,360 Speaker 1: touchdowns in four games since Winston took over. Again, his 1284 01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:32,080 Speaker 1: senses unbenching Baltimore although a great secondary shockingly bad against 1285 01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:35,120 Speaker 1: tight ends. They've allowed the third most fantasy points to 1286 01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:38,440 Speaker 1: tight ends over the last five weeks. Four straight opponents 1287 01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:42,760 Speaker 1: have posted tight end scores against Baltimore. Really, so break 1288 01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:44,760 Speaker 1: it's an A grade here. I don't how much left 1289 01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:49,560 Speaker 1: over Mike. Are you worried about his receiving totals? Had 1290 01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:55,440 Speaker 1: two three three two one three for reception totals. It's 1291 01:06:55,440 --> 01:06:58,440 Speaker 1: not strong. He has to score touchdowns on every catch 1292 01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:00,919 Speaker 1: for him to get a grade every He had two 1293 01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:04,640 Speaker 1: catches twelve yards, two touchdowns last week. He's got to 1294 01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:07,360 Speaker 1: score every time. Adam Humphreys is on the bench in 1295 01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:09,320 Speaker 1: this tough matchup. I don't think I need to expand 1296 01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:11,360 Speaker 1: on that. A lot of them to say that slot 1297 01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:14,560 Speaker 1: receivers have struggled against the Ravens and better ones than him. 1298 01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:19,120 Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd did nothing, snow nothing, conly nothing. So uh, 1299 01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:21,680 Speaker 1: Adam Humphreys on the bench, Peyton Barber's on the bench. 1300 01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:24,520 Speaker 1: He's failed to top three yards per carry in three 1301 01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:27,400 Speaker 1: straight games, and that street continues here against the defense 1302 01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:29,400 Speaker 1: that gives up less than three and a half yards 1303 01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:32,560 Speaker 1: per carry. He faces a run defense that's top three 1304 01:07:32,560 --> 01:07:35,000 Speaker 1: and rushing yards allowed, top three yards per carry allowed, 1305 01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:38,680 Speaker 1: top three and rushing touchdowns allowed. It's a brutal matchup 1306 01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:40,640 Speaker 1: for Peyton Barber. Let's flip it over to the other side. 1307 01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:45,400 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson is fascinating in this game. Tremendous upside and 1308 01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:51,400 Speaker 1: potentially heartbreaking downside in Lamar Jackson. The two mobile quarterback 1309 01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:55,520 Speaker 1: quarterbacks who have faced the Bucks, Mitch Robinsky and Cam 1310 01:07:55,520 --> 01:07:58,880 Speaker 1: Newton on two different occasions, average six yards per carry, 1311 01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:01,600 Speaker 1: and that's about what Lamar Jackson averages, right around six 1312 01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:04,280 Speaker 1: yards per carry. If he's going to continue to get 1313 01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:10,240 Speaker 1: seventeen ish carries at six yards per carry, the MAT says, sixty, 1314 01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:14,360 Speaker 1: you're supposed to do this before you start. That's a 1315 01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:17,719 Speaker 1: one hundred two yard rushing day. Hundred two yard rushing 1316 01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:21,120 Speaker 1: day potentially on tap for Lamar Jackson. Meanwhile, the Bucks 1317 01:08:21,120 --> 01:08:24,719 Speaker 1: secondary is allowed passing touchdowns in every single game. Lamar 1318 01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:28,200 Speaker 1: Jackson's coming off his first ever two touchdown passing effort, 1319 01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:31,479 Speaker 1: so it all feels like it's going well for Lamar Jackson. 1320 01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:35,840 Speaker 1: We've got an A grade on. But Joe Flacco is healthy. 1321 01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:40,000 Speaker 1: There's a scenario out there where Lamar Jackson throws a 1322 01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:44,519 Speaker 1: pick early or can play has a four completion first half, 1323 01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:46,200 Speaker 1: which is in him. He is not a good passer, 1324 01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:49,920 Speaker 1: and here comes Joe Flacco. Just be aware there is 1325 01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:52,920 Speaker 1: a Flacco. There is a Flacco scenario out there that 1326 01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:56,320 Speaker 1: that kills Lamar Jackson. It seems like injury for me. 1327 01:08:56,760 --> 01:08:59,599 Speaker 1: They've totally changed their offense to be a Lamar Jackson 1328 01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:03,479 Speaker 1: based offense now, and it seems to tell like they 1329 01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:06,160 Speaker 1: don't have a Joe Flacco offense at their disposal. They 1330 01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:09,600 Speaker 1: running Flacco offense for ten years through that in the 1331 01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:11,879 Speaker 1: garbage can and lit it on the fire. It's gone. 1332 01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:15,960 Speaker 1: Kenneth Dixon was my Yes, Kenneth Dickson was might take 1333 01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:18,000 Speaker 1: a chance of me running back? Uh, And I've got 1334 01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:19,920 Speaker 1: a B grade on him. I've got Gus Edwards down 1335 01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:21,479 Speaker 1: to a sea grete I mentioned earlier in the show, 1336 01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:23,840 Speaker 1: Kennet Dickson could be your starter in this game. And 1337 01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:26,599 Speaker 1: Gus is trailing, is going the wrong direction with his attempts, 1338 01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:29,800 Speaker 1: his yards per carried decreasing over the last three weeks um. 1339 01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:32,439 Speaker 1: The Bucks have given up one yard rushing game and 1340 01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:34,960 Speaker 1: four the last seven games. They've also given up a 1341 01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:39,080 Speaker 1: very very robust five point seven yards per carried backs 1342 01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:42,080 Speaker 1: in those last seven games, so Gus Edwards can still 1343 01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:44,599 Speaker 1: get something done here, but I prefer Dixon, especially through 1344 01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:47,720 Speaker 1: the air, and all of the wide receivers and tight 1345 01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:50,200 Speaker 1: ends are on the bench because Lamar Jackson does not throw. 1346 01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:53,080 Speaker 1: I'm old enough to remember when Gus Edwards was in 1347 01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:56,439 Speaker 1: an exciting bill Cow. He wasn't exciting. He wasn't exciting 1348 01:09:56,479 --> 01:09:58,880 Speaker 1: bell Cow for about a week and a half and 1349 01:09:58,920 --> 01:10:01,120 Speaker 1: then that was it. We'll take a break when we 1350 01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:04,360 Speaker 1: come back our final set of matchups and lightning round looming. 1351 01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:07,719 Speaker 1: Stay tuned. Final segment of the semifinals edition of Fantasy 1352 01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:27,200 Speaker 1: Football Weekly. This is Fantasy Football Weekly, presided man. Final 1353 01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:30,240 Speaker 1: segment of Fantasy Football Weekly. We've got three matchups left 1354 01:10:30,240 --> 01:10:32,719 Speaker 1: to get to. Paul Ciarchi and Matt Harrison and Brian 1355 01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:35,479 Speaker 1: Johnson with you. We begin with the game with the 1356 01:10:35,560 --> 01:10:38,560 Speaker 1: highest over under for the weekend, Patriots Steelers. Brian, is 1357 01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:41,080 Speaker 1: there anybody you don't play in this one? Not when 1358 01:10:41,080 --> 01:10:42,600 Speaker 1: it comes to the passing game, but there are some 1359 01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:45,320 Speaker 1: questions in the running games on both sides. We'll start 1360 01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:48,400 Speaker 1: with um New England side uh in the game is 1361 01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:51,439 Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh, Real quick, Tom Brady Gronk obvious as they 1362 01:10:51,439 --> 01:10:53,360 Speaker 1: are feeding off each other. Now that Gronk is healthy, 1363 01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:56,280 Speaker 1: Brady's back to posting monster numbers. Amazing those two running 1364 01:10:56,280 --> 01:11:00,160 Speaker 1: parallel Brady's success absolutely and UH. For the wide received ris, 1365 01:11:00,240 --> 01:11:02,719 Speaker 1: Julian Edelin and Josh Gordon both get very strong vise. 1366 01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:05,720 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh secondary has been struggling lately, having allowed for wide 1367 01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:07,920 Speaker 1: receiver touchdowns over the last three games. It's hard to 1368 01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:10,240 Speaker 1: imagine you're benching Edelman or Gordon if you have them 1369 01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:13,360 Speaker 1: on roster. Uh. Now over the running backs, though, starting 1370 01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:17,080 Speaker 1: with James White, give him a B and PPR, a 1371 01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:19,280 Speaker 1: C and standard though it's not a great matchup for 1372 01:11:19,360 --> 01:11:22,120 Speaker 1: him through the air the Pittsburgh Pittsburgh is only allowing 1373 01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:24,599 Speaker 1: twenty seven yards per game through the air to opposing 1374 01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:27,720 Speaker 1: running backs. So I'm not loving James White and this one. 1375 01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:32,360 Speaker 1: And I'm definitely not loving Sony Michelle because of James Devlin, 1376 01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:36,400 Speaker 1: the ultimate vulture who saw that coming. If you have 1377 01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:38,960 Speaker 1: told me Rex Burke had was had done this, I'd 1378 01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:41,519 Speaker 1: be like, Okay, I can see that Burke had has 1379 01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:46,200 Speaker 1: been invisible and James Devlin, so yeah, insert Fantasy Football 1380 01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:49,200 Speaker 1: Weekly talking about Bill Belichick running backs for the last 1381 01:11:49,240 --> 01:11:52,600 Speaker 1: ten years. And then let's not forget Rex Burkhead is 1382 01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:55,080 Speaker 1: active to he could always but yeah, Pittsburgh is not 1383 01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:57,599 Speaker 1: allowed to. They've a lowed one one hud yard rusher 1384 01:11:57,640 --> 01:11:59,519 Speaker 1: all season, I believe, so your hope from Michelle is 1385 01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:04,040 Speaker 1: a goal line plunge. But now that's that's not who knows, 1386 01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:07,680 Speaker 1: So it wouldn't surprise me if Devlin doesn't get a 1387 01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:11,519 Speaker 1: touch though either. Yeah, absolutely definitely not allow to get 1388 01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:13,120 Speaker 1: a touch at all. But I'm gonna give him Michelle 1389 01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:15,680 Speaker 1: a see, but certainly explore other options. He's not a 1390 01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:18,160 Speaker 1: He's not a slam dunk start by any means. Uh. 1391 01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:21,440 Speaker 1: Speaking of slam dunk starts on the Pittsburgh side, Ben Roethlisberger, 1392 01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:26,040 Speaker 1: Juju Smith, Schuster, and Antonio Brown obvious a's Vans McDonald 1393 01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:28,160 Speaker 1: borderline A and the tight end WASTELANDE. I'll give him 1394 01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:30,480 Speaker 1: a B though, with the Patriots have allowed seven touchdowns 1395 01:12:30,479 --> 01:12:32,840 Speaker 1: to tight ends this year and opposing tight ends are 1396 01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:35,839 Speaker 1: averaging nearly sixty yards per game, so McDonald is viable 1397 01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:38,519 Speaker 1: in the shootout. And then more questions at running back 1398 01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:42,080 Speaker 1: for Pittsburgh is James Connor gonna play. I do not know, 1399 01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:45,120 Speaker 1: nobody knows. Uh, he's a game time decision right now. 1400 01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:47,280 Speaker 1: Uh if he goes, I would give him a B 1401 01:12:47,439 --> 01:12:50,160 Speaker 1: in a pretty good matchup. New England's getting gashed lately 1402 01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:53,120 Speaker 1: by running backs, most notably Frank Gore running all over 1403 01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:55,960 Speaker 1: the place last week, So I'll give Connor the B, 1404 01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:57,559 Speaker 1: even though you gotta be a little worried that he's 1405 01:12:57,560 --> 01:13:01,519 Speaker 1: not a But if Connor is out, Jalen Samuel's the 1406 01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:04,639 Speaker 1: starting running back slash tight end. Depending on what fantasy 1407 01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:07,080 Speaker 1: site you play on, I'd give him the see uh, 1408 01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:09,160 Speaker 1: just in this matchup because he can't catch the ball. 1409 01:13:09,200 --> 01:13:10,599 Speaker 1: But I don't know. You just gotta wait and see 1410 01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:12,160 Speaker 1: what you can't really wait and see because this is 1411 01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:14,640 Speaker 1: a night game. It's a very scary proposition if you 1412 01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:17,559 Speaker 1: don't own both Connor and Samuel. So right, see what happens. 1413 01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:21,040 Speaker 1: Eagles take out the Rams, Matt Nick Foles at the 1414 01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:24,000 Speaker 1: helm for the Eagles. That does not help the fantasy 1415 01:13:24,040 --> 01:13:26,160 Speaker 1: prospects of any of the Eagles. And I don't think 1416 01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:28,280 Speaker 1: I would start anybody in the passing game outside of 1417 01:13:28,320 --> 01:13:30,040 Speaker 1: Zach Ertz. But that's just me. How do you got it? 1418 01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:32,040 Speaker 1: How you got it. Do you just want to do 1419 01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:34,640 Speaker 1: this matchup for me? I got zach Ertz is an 1420 01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:37,479 Speaker 1: a uh. It feels like we're due for a giant 1421 01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:40,200 Speaker 1: Earth's game. There is virtually no change in his production 1422 01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:42,960 Speaker 1: uh in both last year and this year when Falls 1423 01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:45,519 Speaker 1: was in versus Wentz. So that's a good thing for 1424 01:13:45,560 --> 01:13:48,120 Speaker 1: Earth's and Falls targeted Earth's more than any player and 1425 01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:52,559 Speaker 1: his two starts this season, however, Nick Foles only through 1426 01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:54,800 Speaker 1: one touchdown pass and two starts earlier this year. And 1427 01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:57,760 Speaker 1: the Rams secondary is really good again now. Uh. In 1428 01:13:57,800 --> 01:14:00,080 Speaker 1: their four complete games with a keep to leave in 1429 01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:02,599 Speaker 1: the lineup, the Rams have not allowed a wide receiver 1430 01:14:02,680 --> 01:14:06,120 Speaker 1: touchdown and no wide receiver has topped fifty yards. Nickel 1431 01:14:06,240 --> 01:14:09,439 Speaker 1: Robie Coleman lines up against Golden Tate. He hasn't allowed 1432 01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:12,000 Speaker 1: more than twenty yards in coverage in eleven of twelve 1433 01:14:12,040 --> 01:14:15,120 Speaker 1: games this year. So the whole passing game is on 1434 01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:18,240 Speaker 1: the bench. It's all benched except for zach Ertz, and 1435 01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:20,840 Speaker 1: in the running game, Josh Adams and Darren Sprawls are 1436 01:14:20,840 --> 01:14:22,759 Speaker 1: on the bench too. It's worth noting that Corey Clement 1437 01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:25,200 Speaker 1: will be out and Sprawls led the team in snaps 1438 01:14:25,240 --> 01:14:29,479 Speaker 1: last week figure. But the Rams are top five in 1439 01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:32,800 Speaker 1: every category against pass catching running backs over the last 1440 01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:36,280 Speaker 1: five weeks, which leaves Adams to pick up the scraps. 1441 01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:38,439 Speaker 1: I kind of I kind of like Adams here. I 1442 01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:41,479 Speaker 1: don't he's gonna be on the field for like a 1443 01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:43,960 Speaker 1: third No, I think the climent out. I think he's 1444 01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:46,960 Speaker 1: gonna be on the field more than that. Rams are 1445 01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:49,639 Speaker 1: giving up five and a half yards per carry over 1446 01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:52,519 Speaker 1: the last month of games. It's it's just too tough shot. 1447 01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:57,640 Speaker 1: Penny rode over them. So did La Garrett Blunt, so 1448 01:14:57,720 --> 01:15:01,160 Speaker 1: did Jordan Howard. You're straight ahead bigger runners, and I 1449 01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:03,920 Speaker 1: think Josh Adams has got a chance here. I'm going 1450 01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:06,200 Speaker 1: to give the advice to not start Josh Adams in 1451 01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:08,880 Speaker 1: a playoff matchup chart will and you can direct the 1452 01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:12,519 Speaker 1: hate mail too at Paul Charchy and on Twitter. On 1453 01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:15,000 Speaker 1: the other side, Todd Gurley obvious a worth noting that 1454 01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:18,600 Speaker 1: the Eagles have the fifth most missed tackles in the 1455 01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:21,639 Speaker 1: league this season. That's good for Gurley to get back 1456 01:15:21,640 --> 01:15:24,200 Speaker 1: on the horse here. Jared Goff, I'm giving an a 1457 01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:26,280 Speaker 1: grade two as well. The Eagles have allowed the third 1458 01:15:26,320 --> 01:15:29,000 Speaker 1: most yards and the seventh most passing touchdowns over the 1459 01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:31,800 Speaker 1: last five weeks, although it's worth noting one of them 1460 01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:34,200 Speaker 1: will probably have a really good game, the other one 1461 01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:37,599 Speaker 1: will probably have a okay game because that's how it's 1462 01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:40,760 Speaker 1: gone this year for Goff and Gurley. Uh. All the 1463 01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:44,360 Speaker 1: wide receivers, Robert Woods, Brandon Cooks, and Josh Reynolds all 1464 01:15:44,400 --> 01:15:46,920 Speaker 1: get a B grade. Woods has led the team in 1465 01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:50,479 Speaker 1: targets since Cooper cups a c L tear forty six 1466 01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:52,719 Speaker 1: for Woods, a thirty eight for Cooks, and then twenty 1467 01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:55,920 Speaker 1: six for Reynolds, and Philly's secondary has allowed the second 1468 01:15:55,960 --> 01:15:58,960 Speaker 1: most catches and yards to wide receivers this season. So 1469 01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:01,920 Speaker 1: Reynolds gets the because he's had two thirty three air 1470 01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:04,080 Speaker 1: yards over the last three weeks. That's top thirty in 1471 01:16:04,080 --> 01:16:08,400 Speaker 1: the NFL during that span. And uh, it's just a 1472 01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:11,559 Speaker 1: good matchup for everybody. It is. It really is. If 1473 01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:13,400 Speaker 1: you didn't, as I mentioned earlier, if you didn't knocked 1474 01:16:13,400 --> 01:16:17,519 Speaker 1: Todd Gurley out last week, like you said, I think 1475 01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:19,639 Speaker 1: that team is more than likely going to the champion. 1476 01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:22,400 Speaker 1: It's worth noting that Woods is probably a borderline A 1477 01:16:22,479 --> 01:16:26,800 Speaker 1: and Cooks is the huge upside guy, so for sure. Yeah. Uh, 1478 01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:29,600 Speaker 1: final final game to break down before we go to 1479 01:16:29,600 --> 01:16:34,000 Speaker 1: your call, Saints taking on the Panthers Monday Night Football. Obviously, 1480 01:16:34,120 --> 01:16:38,479 Speaker 1: grades for Drew Brees, Michael Thomas, Alvin Kamara. All of 1481 01:16:38,520 --> 01:16:41,000 Speaker 1: them rank inside my top four this week. In fact, 1482 01:16:41,040 --> 01:16:43,360 Speaker 1: Breeze and Thomas are my number one players at their position. 1483 01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:46,519 Speaker 1: Let's go to mark Ingram, who's got a trickier, trickier outlook. 1484 01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:50,840 Speaker 1: Since his big games in weeks ten and eleven, He's 1485 01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:53,280 Speaker 1: averaged only forty four yards on a very mundane and 1486 01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:56,280 Speaker 1: four point two yards per carry, also not chipping in 1487 01:16:56,360 --> 01:16:59,400 Speaker 1: the passing game at all, having not seen more than 1488 01:16:59,439 --> 01:17:01,680 Speaker 1: three target it's in a game all season long. The 1489 01:17:01,720 --> 01:17:04,320 Speaker 1: Panthers give up the fifth fewest rushing attempts in the 1490 01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:06,840 Speaker 1: sixth fewest rushing yards per game. So if he's just 1491 01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:08,479 Speaker 1: got to get it done on the ground, I don't 1492 01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:11,200 Speaker 1: know the market Ingram does. He drops down to a 1493 01:17:11,240 --> 01:17:13,280 Speaker 1: C grade here, and I'd have a lot, a lot 1494 01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:16,479 Speaker 1: of hesitancies starting mark Ingram. He will be somewhere else 1495 01:17:16,479 --> 01:17:18,160 Speaker 1: on some other team and will be a leading running 1496 01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:19,519 Speaker 1: back on some other team next year, and you all 1497 01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:22,080 Speaker 1: the better season then, um, all the rest of the 1498 01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:24,320 Speaker 1: wide receivers besides Michael Thomas around the bench, bre he 1499 01:17:24,400 --> 01:17:26,200 Speaker 1: spreads the ball around too much. He can't trust Tray 1500 01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:29,960 Speaker 1: Kwan Smith, Kith Kirkwood, Austin Carr and who they just signed. 1501 01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:32,160 Speaker 1: They just signed some kid off the practice squad from 1502 01:17:32,160 --> 01:17:36,040 Speaker 1: the Redskins him either. Alright, not that guy, Not that guy, 1503 01:17:36,160 --> 01:17:39,000 Speaker 1: whoever that guy is. Let's go to the Carolina side. 1504 01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:41,400 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey. Have still got an A grade on him, 1505 01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:44,040 Speaker 1: But dark is this a tough matchup? The Saints rank 1506 01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:47,280 Speaker 1: number one in rushing attempts per game, number one in 1507 01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:51,479 Speaker 1: rushing yards per game, number one in rushing yards per carry. 1508 01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:54,400 Speaker 1: But who cares. He's like the fifteen ranked wide receiver 1509 01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:58,240 Speaker 1: this season. That's where he helps you out. Fortunately, as 1510 01:17:58,280 --> 01:18:00,400 Speaker 1: a dual back threat, he does have a shot here. 1511 01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:04,080 Speaker 1: Say Kwon Barkley, Todd Gurley, Ezekiel Elliott all managed to 1512 01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:06,559 Speaker 1: top one hundred total yards and each found the end 1513 01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:10,080 Speaker 1: zone against the Saints last season. McCaffrey averaged eighty three 1514 01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:12,360 Speaker 1: yards scored in each game against them as well. He's 1515 01:18:12,360 --> 01:18:13,840 Speaker 1: got to get it done through the air, where you 1516 01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:16,160 Speaker 1: can get a little something done against the Saints. But 1517 01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:18,200 Speaker 1: make no mistake, a very tough matchup, and the A 1518 01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:21,000 Speaker 1: grade I have a Christian McCaffrey is only because he 1519 01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:24,280 Speaker 1: is so talented. Let's go to the passing game. Cam 1520 01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:27,400 Speaker 1: Newton gets a B. He's produced exactly two passing touchdowns 1521 01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:29,960 Speaker 1: and nearly every game this year, and that feels about 1522 01:18:30,040 --> 01:18:32,799 Speaker 1: right against the defense that's averaging one point eight passing touchdowns. 1523 01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:34,840 Speaker 1: So let's go for two touchdowns for Newton. He's not 1524 01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:37,160 Speaker 1: getting many carries this year, but I will note that 1525 01:18:37,200 --> 01:18:40,519 Speaker 1: the Saints have allowed the most quarterback rushing touchdowns four 1526 01:18:40,560 --> 01:18:43,640 Speaker 1: of them, so maybe maybe Newton surprises us with a 1527 01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:46,880 Speaker 1: rare rushing touchdown in this one. D J. Mort gets 1528 01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:49,360 Speaker 1: a B. It's a juicy matchup for him. They're allowing 1529 01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:52,320 Speaker 1: Saints allowing the most fantasy points to receivers on the season. 1530 01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:55,200 Speaker 1: Saints secondary has improved a bit lately, allowing just one 1531 01:18:55,240 --> 01:18:57,719 Speaker 1: touchdown to receivers over the last four weeks, but receivers 1532 01:18:57,720 --> 01:19:00,479 Speaker 1: are still wrecking a tent plenty of yards. Sick players 1533 01:19:00,479 --> 01:19:04,240 Speaker 1: have totaled at least seventy four yards against the Saints 1534 01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:06,720 Speaker 1: in just the last three weeks, so two players a 1535 01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:09,320 Speaker 1: game topping seventy four yards. I think Dj Moore will 1536 01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:11,599 Speaker 1: get to that point as well. Maybe he gets lucky 1537 01:19:11,640 --> 01:19:14,680 Speaker 1: with a with a touchdown, and Curtis Samuel Was might 1538 01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:16,320 Speaker 1: take a chance of me wide receiver, and I've got 1539 01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:18,280 Speaker 1: to be greade on him too. So a lot of 1540 01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:19,880 Speaker 1: guys to go to there. If you're going to Ian 1541 01:19:19,920 --> 01:19:22,519 Speaker 1: Thomas at tight end, don't Only one tight end is 1542 01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:25,160 Speaker 1: top forty yards against the Saints all season, and only 1543 01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:29,519 Speaker 1: two have scored against them all year as well. It 1544 01:19:29,680 --> 01:19:33,599 Speaker 1: is time for Lightning Round semifinals edition. You know the rules. 1545 01:19:33,720 --> 01:19:37,240 Speaker 1: One question between two players. We will move on and 1546 01:19:37,439 --> 01:19:39,719 Speaker 1: hang up on you right about the time you finish 1547 01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:43,160 Speaker 1: your question. You can listen on the delay on your 1548 01:19:43,400 --> 01:19:48,920 Speaker 1: in your car at your home streaming device. Will take 1549 01:19:48,920 --> 01:19:52,879 Speaker 1: plenty of calls zero five, three to six h Jessica, 1550 01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:54,719 Speaker 1: you've been on hold for the better part of two hours. 1551 01:19:54,760 --> 01:20:00,400 Speaker 1: Thank you for your patients. Sure, I'm looking at uh 1552 01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:09,240 Speaker 1: and it's flying Jush Edwards or James White standard scoring. 1553 01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:13,719 Speaker 1: We're looking for touchdowns. Yeah wow, I'm gonna go Edwards 1554 01:20:13,760 --> 01:20:16,879 Speaker 1: against the Bucks. The Bucks give up so many rushing touchdowns. 1555 01:20:16,960 --> 01:20:19,080 Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's the right flying touchdown 1556 01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:23,479 Speaker 1: as possible. Tom, You are next. Hi, guys, Um, I'm 1557 01:20:23,520 --> 01:20:25,599 Speaker 1: up pretty big and I'm actually in an all play leaf. 1558 01:20:25,680 --> 01:20:28,240 Speaker 1: I have to be two out of my three opponents. Um, 1559 01:20:28,520 --> 01:20:31,200 Speaker 1: I'm looking for actually a lower risk between the two 1560 01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:34,520 Speaker 1: pretty high risk players out the two Kennis Kenneth Diskenny 1561 01:20:34,560 --> 01:20:38,200 Speaker 1: Golladay in my flex. I have a strong opinion on this. 1562 01:20:38,520 --> 01:20:42,120 Speaker 1: I think though, the highest risk is Kenny Golladay, So 1563 01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:45,920 Speaker 1: I would definitely go Dixon in this matchup. Matt, thank 1564 01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:47,639 Speaker 1: you for your patients. You've been on hold a long 1565 01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:52,800 Speaker 1: time too. Oh sure you, guys, I gotta drop Austin Hooper. Uh. 1566 01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:55,640 Speaker 1: Not very good choices, really, its choices Vernon Davis or 1567 01:20:55,720 --> 01:20:59,640 Speaker 1: Ryan Griffin. Oh man, I'd go Griffin. He's actually been 1568 01:20:59,720 --> 01:21:03,120 Speaker 1: quas i active lately.

Bill, you're next on 1618 01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:34,840 Speaker 1: the fan. Hey, fellows, we are not penalized for turnovers 1619 01:24:34,960 --> 01:24:40,000 Speaker 1: Jamis Winston or Derek Carr. Not. Anytime you're talking about 1620 01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:43,280 Speaker 1: Jamis Winston, you need to clarify it's Car in that matchup. 1621 01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:48,000 Speaker 1: I'm not trust and Winston in Baltimore, even with no penalty. 1622 01:24:48,080 --> 01:24:51,080 Speaker 1: I think the upside here might be Winston, though, especially 1623 01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:55,360 Speaker 1: if you're not penalized for turnovers against the Ravens. Come on, upset, 1624 01:24:55,760 --> 01:25:02,280 Speaker 1: Derek Car's got the Bengals upside fine, thank you. They 1625 01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:04,559 Speaker 1: issued Patrick Mahomes in this Kansas game and he just 1626 01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:09,719 Speaker 1: threw a touchdown. Stand that's amazing. Brent, you're next. Hey, guys, 1627 01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:12,519 Speaker 1: hate to do this half point PPR. This is really ugly. 1628 01:25:12,600 --> 01:25:18,080 Speaker 1: But Gus Edwards or Tony Michelle, Um, I'm really down 1629 01:25:18,120 --> 01:25:20,639 Speaker 1: on I'm really down at Edwards and I I think 1630 01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:22,720 Speaker 1: Dixon is gonna is going to get the majority of 1631 01:25:22,720 --> 01:25:24,880 Speaker 1: the work. But that's very speculative. This is just my 1632 01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:27,719 Speaker 1: personal opinion brand, so I don't know that you should 1633 01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:30,920 Speaker 1: necessarily automatically do that. But if you're with me on this, 1634 01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:36,439 Speaker 1: then we're taking Sony Michelle. It's r Beloved Meat Sauce, 1635 01:25:38,960 --> 01:25:42,639 Speaker 1: two co workers, and Tonio Brown or Adam Steeling because 1636 01:25:42,640 --> 01:25:44,400 Speaker 1: I need one of them to score more points, so 1637 01:25:44,479 --> 01:25:46,120 Speaker 1: one of my co workers doesn't have to write a 1638 01:25:46,160 --> 01:25:51,400 Speaker 1: thirty seven and a half bus right charges pointing at 1639 01:25:51,400 --> 01:25:53,320 Speaker 1: me because this is a conflict of interest. I think 1640 01:25:53,920 --> 01:25:57,880 Speaker 1: that's right exactly, because I am concerned that Miami will 1641 01:25:58,080 --> 01:26:00,640 Speaker 1: struggle mightily to score points. I'm going on Brown in 1642 01:26:00,680 --> 01:26:03,839 Speaker 1: the shootout meets us good luck Man, good Luck Sauce. 1643 01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:06,920 Speaker 1: No Saturdays with Sauceday or else would have just walked 1644 01:26:06,960 --> 01:26:10,320 Speaker 1: into the studio and asked his question Wild versus Calgary 1645 01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:12,880 Speaker 1: coming up after this, Dan, thank you for calling back, 1646 01:26:12,920 --> 01:26:15,400 Speaker 1: and I'm sorry again about hanging up on you. That's 1647 01:26:15,439 --> 01:26:17,160 Speaker 1: all right. I was going with the soft j Jordan 1648 01:26:17,280 --> 01:26:24,160 Speaker 1: Howard or Elijah McGuire M half PPR. I think we're 1649 01:26:24,160 --> 01:26:28,320 Speaker 1: gonna go at the McGuire cat meal. Look what's happened. 1650 01:26:28,600 --> 01:26:32,559 Speaker 1: Look what's happened? Thank you? This Hey, it will be forgotten, 1651 01:26:33,240 --> 01:26:36,240 Speaker 1: says no, that says this is not gonna stick. Jerry, 1652 01:26:36,240 --> 01:26:43,360 Speaker 1: you're next, that McGuire, Jerry, Yeah, PPPR League, Austin Hooper 1653 01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:48,160 Speaker 1: or Evan Ingram. Don't play Hooper, Yeah, don't play Ooper. 1654 01:26:48,720 --> 01:26:51,080 Speaker 1: You might not even right. We'll go Evan Ingram here 1655 01:26:51,120 --> 01:26:53,559 Speaker 1: and hope that without Odell they just throwed him that 1656 01:26:53,640 --> 01:26:56,640 Speaker 1: much more might be on. A good game might be, 1657 01:26:56,720 --> 01:26:58,680 Speaker 1: but what a disaster season for a guy that I 1658 01:26:58,680 --> 01:27:04,080 Speaker 1: thought was gonna be good. Yeah, I thought that injuries though, 1659 01:27:04,439 --> 01:27:07,320 Speaker 1: I didn't think he'd be Monty ballgood. Chris your next, 1660 01:27:08,320 --> 01:27:12,720 Speaker 1: Raapert Evan Ingram? All right, it's great. We gave him 1661 01:27:12,720 --> 01:27:16,479 Speaker 1: the A grade.
