Hello, I'm 0:00:59.880 --> 0:01:02.240 not I missed you. Guys, you missed us. Yeah, it's 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:03.600 been a while. I'm gonna guess you're gonna say you 0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:05.479 didn't miss me though I didn't notice you had been gone. 0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:08.720 I'll think that as a compliment. Actually maybe you should, 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:11.640 uh feel free to if it makes you feel better. Um. 0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:14.840 We uh, we have one more show to go, and 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:16.280 this is what we at this show. We got one 0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:18.319 more that's it, my last one of the year and 0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:21.760 your last n by Yeah, your last segment of the 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:25.040 year coming up in six segments. We got plenty to 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:27.400 get to. As always, will break down all the matchups, 0:01:27.440 --> 0:01:31.360 three hot questions, we'll have um the lightning round at 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:33.840 the end, and of course take a chance on me 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:39.920 the maybe we maybe. We just start with one quick 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:42.839 note from Thursday's games. A lot of chief Owners are 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.440 in a little bit of trouble. Patrick Mahomes just an 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:49.360 okay game. Tyrek Hill didn't do much. Kelsey was modest. Um, 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:52.000 so some Chiefs players unless you started Damian Williams. What 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:54.400 about the Keenan Allen owners who are Keenan Allen owners. 0:01:54.760 --> 0:01:57.720 Keenan Allen owners are found themselves in a really tough 0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:01.080 spot um as we as we will frequently say after 0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:03.720 these Thursday games, if you find yourself on the wrong 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:05.520 side of that, you might want to introduce a little 0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.320 risk reward in your lineup. Guys like Josh Allen and 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:11.920 Lamar Jackson that potentially can have really big or really 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:14.280 bad games might be the right answer for you. And 0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:16.560 you also pair up the quarterback in the wide receiver 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:18.920 to go double dip. You have tried to double dip. 0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:20.280 And again, if you know, if they hook up a 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:21.720 couple of times, you've got a big game. But they 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:23.440 don't hook up at all, maybe you end up losing. 0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:26.679 But if you're gonna lose anyway, why not. And regardless 0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:28.720 of who you played, if you played anyone in your 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:31.880 flex spot from Thursday night, stop doing it. And if 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:33.960 you have anyone in today's games in your flex spot, 0:02:34.040 --> 0:02:36.639 get him out. Speaking of which, there's games today. We 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:38.720 got an afternoon game in an evening game today, So 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.960 don't be caught. Go set your line up without a doubt. 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:46.119 Let's jump right into the matchups, beginning with the Packers 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:51.000 taking on the Bears. Brian disaster scenario for Aaron Rodgers. 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:53.560 In all of whatever ten years he's been at starting quarterback, 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:56.280 I've ranked him every single week, He's never been ranked 0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:59.480 as low as I've got him this week at quarterback 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.680 number two D one. And it's part in part because 0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:04.399 it's a great Bears team, but also in part because 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:07.280 they're missing their starting two of their starting guard. Well wait, 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:09.320 one starting guard and the right tackle and then the 0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:12.040 right tackles the guy who's gotta be uh. It's Brian Blaga. 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:15.120 He's the guy in Khalil Mack. So that feels like 0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:18.160 a disaster scenario against the Bears to be missing too 0:03:18.240 --> 0:03:22.200 starting lineman. Yeah, I've certainly recommended starting other quarterbacks over 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:24.880 Aaron Rodgers this week, this game, not on Saturday, by 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:27.639 the way, but yeah, but uh, we'll start with Rogers. 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:30.280 I'm gonna give him a C for all the reasons 0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:32.560 you said and then some just look with the Bears 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:34.760 into the Rams last week, that is a serious cause 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.360 for concern. But Rodgers does have this going for him. 0:03:37.880 --> 0:03:40.240 One of three quarterbacks to throw with three touchdowns against 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:42.920 the Bears this year. Tom Brady did it, and Brock 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.600 Oswiler obviously did it as well. Um, they're very good, 0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:49.000 if not great, quarterbacks have thrown multiple touchdowns against the 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.840 Bears as well, Russell Wilson, Kirk Cousins, Matt Stafford, and 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.720 even Sam Bradford before he died. So I'm gonna give 0:03:54.800 --> 0:03:57.800 Rogers the sea. But yeah, you gotta be very worried 0:03:57.800 --> 0:03:59.600 and explore other options if you have it. But if 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:01.400 you don't have a bench on him, yeah, I was 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:05.160 borderline benching him, but it is let's move on. I 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:07.120 don't want to talk. Well, what about Davante Adams then, 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.760 so you know he's been he has been money in 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:13.839 every situation. He's had a plethora of great number one 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.839 cornerbacks that he's had to overcome, and he almost always does. 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.720 Can we queue up the peacock from last year's Shells 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:21.800 Brewery Show when I said Adams is a top ten 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:28.280 wide receiver in twenty seventeen preseason last witness. I can't 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:30.840 do that right off the top of it, like like 0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:37.600 an old man peacock, like packing and wheezing. But Adams 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:42.360 is so money in the bank it's unreal. Matt's gonna 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:44.440 put him as his number one wide receiver next year. 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:47.560 He said he beat me to that. But uh yeah, 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:51.680 one game, Davante hadhams dat Adams has with less than 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:55.159 ten Fantasy points this year, and that's in standard leaks. 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:57.800 His worst game this year was eight catches for eighty 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:00.640 one yards. Yeah, that is his worst game this season. 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:04.400 I understand. What about the Bears, Well, he caught five 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.440 for nine d in a touchdown in his last meeting 0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.000 with the Bears Week one. But I don't know I'm 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:12.200 playing Davanta Adams. I'm gonna give him a very hard beat. 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:14.920 He deserves an a. But for all the the reasons 0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.000 we said you gotta worry about the Packers, I'm giving 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:19.479 Adams would be but the only format you're not starting 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:21.520 him might be guillotine leaks. That's about it. But he's 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.120 a solid b Randall Cobb on the bench. He did 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:26.200 have nine for one forty two in Week one end 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.200 a touchdown a week one against the Bears, but he's 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:30.840 on the bench easily as is Jimmy Graham. Just two 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:33.440 catches for eight yards in the Week one matchup. Chicago 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.320 hasn't allowed a tight end touchdown since Week eight, and 0:05:36.440 --> 0:05:39.440 Nick O'Leary has the most yardage recorded by a single 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:40.839 tight end against the Bears. You want to guess how 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.359 many yards he had over under two a little higher 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:48.160 forty nine yards. Yeah, So Jimmy Graham on the bench. 0:05:48.200 --> 0:05:51.160 Explore other options at tight end and Aaron Jones again, 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.080 awful matchup for him as well. I'm gonna give him 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:56.159 a c uh just because he's gonna get touches likely, 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:58.120 But he's another guy that if you have other options, 0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:01.520 I would explore them willingly over the Bears. Treet Cohen 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:04.039 canna give him a B. Double digit touchdowns and five 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:06.200 straight and team highs and targets and catches over the 0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:08.560 last three weeks. And uh, I don't know why we 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:13.920 didn't nickname him this earlier locally TC the Bear. It's 0:06:14.040 --> 0:06:20.200 not bad. It's not bad. Moving on, Doc good quicksip 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:24.200 of because you're here in the middle of a five 0:06:24.279 --> 0:06:27.840 minute match. Is the sticky one man Jordan Howard Ce 0:06:28.279 --> 0:06:31.240 Packers just put starting defensive tackle Mike Daniels on i R. 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:33.800 Opposing running backs were already averaging nearly five yards per 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:37.120 carry against the Packers, so Howard is startable this week. 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:40.240 Alan Robinson startable as well. Listen as questionable. It was 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:43.040 a full participant Friday. Friday had a modest four for 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:45.039 sixty one in the opener. That's probably his floor in 0:06:45.040 --> 0:06:48.280 this matchup. Is that secondary is absolutely decimated for Green Bay. 0:06:48.520 --> 0:06:50.839 And for that reason, I will give Taylor Gabriel a 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:54.000 long shot. See at least seven targets in four straight games. Uh. 0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:55.839 He caught five passes in the Week one matchup, for 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:57.360 what it's worth, so I'll give him a see. I'm 0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.279 benching Anthony Miller, though too much of a dart throw 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:01.919 Trey Burt on the bench. He's been absolutely brutal. Just 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:04.599 two catches and twenty yards per game are his averages 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:07.039 over his last seven. So he's on the bench and 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:10.240 Mitch Truebhisky gets a b uh. Green bands allowed multiple 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:12.840 touchdowns and three of the last four games three touchdowns, 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.000 and two of those three Josh Rosen was the only 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:16.760 one who failed to do so. He's failed to do 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:19.520 anything this year, though, and Rubisky, always a threat with 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:21.280 his legs, ran for a touchdown in the first meeting 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:23.680 as well. I like, I like your whiskey. Now you've 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:26.280 just uh, you've just said. We've been doing this twenty 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:30.280 four years. In the twenty four year history of this show, 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:34.320 we've never had somebody do such a long rambling matchup 0:07:34.400 --> 0:07:38.880 that they actually dehydrated on the air. And all time 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:43.640 first set by Brian Johnson, I've heard much longer rambles 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:48.000 on this show. Trusting Dallas taking on Indianapolis Matt uh 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:50.560 Dallas and Marie Cooper Dak Prescott about as hot as 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.440 any tandem in the NFL. But it's an indie secondary 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:57.040 that's been shockingly good, albeit against bad opposition. What do 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.320 you make of this one? Yeah, it's well. First off, 0:07:59.320 --> 0:08:02.880 it's worth note that All Pro guard Zack Martin will 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:04.720 be out for this game. That's a big hit to 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:08.080 the Dallas line. You know, Uh, I have Doc with 0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:10.440 a C grade. It's tough to bench a guy who 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:13.320 just h torched his career high in passing yards by 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:16.680 a hundred and twenty yards. But is that today? That's 0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:19.920 maybe all the more reason to to be cautious because 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:22.600 it was such an anomaly, And to be fair, it 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:26.360 was a five quarter game. Only one quarterback topped three 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:28.880 hundred yards in the last eight games against the Colts, 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:31.600 and we highlighted it last week. If Dac doesn't score 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.520 on the ground, he's not a startable quarterback In most cases. 0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:38.160 The Colts haven't allowed a rushing touchdown to a quarterback 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:41.200 in five games. They've allowed three on the air two 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:43.880 of the three they did allow. We're a Derek Carr 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.440 lean over the goal line and a Tom Brady lean 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:49.440 over the goal line. So unless we're getting that, and 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:52.200 I think that's when they handoff to Zeke, anyway, we're 0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:54.679 we're not played Doc, uh Cooper. I'm giving a B. 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:56.800 He's been the best wide receiver in Fantasy over the 0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.480 last five weeks. He runs into a Cults secondary though 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:01.240 that has an allow out a hundred yard receiver since 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:03.600 Week four, and over the last month, the Colts are 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.160 allowing an average of only ninety total yards to the 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.559 position per game. Still so hot, I have to give 0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:11.520 him a B. Zeke's getting an A grade. He's averaging 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:13.760 a hundred and seventy two total yards over his last 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:18.160 five games. He's awesome, Andrew luck Chart. Here we are again, 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:21.720 here we are. What do you think Andrew lux great 0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.400 is this week? Um, I'm gonna guess you're gonna give 0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:30.400 him a C. I gave him an A. I'm giving 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:32.320 I gave him an A grade last week, and you 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:35.320 laughed at me for kind of the same reason. Charch 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:38.160 scoffed at me. And he had two against a very 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:42.760 good Texans defense in Indy. He's averaging nine yards per 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:46.920 attempt in his last four home games. That's better, that's good. Uh. 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:49.880 Dallas has given up multiple touchdown passes in four of 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:53.280 their last six games, including three touchdown passes to Carson 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:56.800 Wentz last week. So I like lux ability to throw 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.600 the touchdown passes and get it going. Now. The problem 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:01.320 is is e y. Hilton's in a little bit of 0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:03.560 a sticky situation here. If you take Hilton out of 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:05.520 that offense, I like him a lot less luck a 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:07.959 lot less. He hasn't practiced all week with an ankle 0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.480 injuries listed as a game time decision. If he plays, 0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:13.440 I'm giving him a B grade. Uh if he does go, 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:17.040 Hilton's seen about of his targets from the slot this year, 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:20.040 where the Cowboys have allowed seventy five plus yards or 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.679 a touchdown in nine of their last eleven games. So 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:26.400 if Hilton's in, I like Hilton. Eric Ebron's an easy A. 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:28.760 Cowboys have allowed the second most catches in the eighth 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:31.360 most yards to tight ends, and the running game Marlon 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:33.680 Mack and company is on the bench. MATC had to 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:36.439 touchdown last week, which kind of saved it. But sixty 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:38.959 six total rushing yards from the running backs over their 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:42.280 last two games, that's an average of thirty three per game. 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:45.720 You can't start any of that against the good Dallas defense. 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:51.080 Agree on all of that. Lions take on the Bills 0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:53.880 in a game in which there are virtually no starters. 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:56.800 In fact, none of the Lions are startable this week. 0:10:57.120 --> 0:11:00.000 Matthew Stafford Kenny Golladay are out on this one. They 0:11:00.000 --> 0:11:02.600 if bench grades they're playing, They're not out. They're playing. 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:04.480 You might not know they're playing when you see the 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:08.000 box score. Bill's debt past defense has been awesome all year. Quietly, 0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:12.240 the Bills allow the fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.680 on the full season, and in the last month they 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:18.440 ranked number one in fantasy points allowed. And here comes 0:11:18.480 --> 0:11:21.920 Matthew Stafford with only one good receiver, Kenny Golladay, and 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:25.040 who does he get Tradus White all game? Game over, 0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:27.640 it's over, it's done. You can't start. You can't start 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:29.880 any of those guys. Uh. And so they're all out. 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.160 And by the way, Stafford's other starting wide receiver, Bruce 0:11:32.200 --> 0:11:35.480 Ellington out with a hamstring. So it's just an utter 0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:38.480 disaster for the Lions offense right now. All the runners 0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:41.440 are out. Carrie On Johnson is ruled out of the 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:43.960 game with his knee injuries. Zentner and Blunt are gonna 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.920 split carries of notedges in that scenario either, So all 0:11:46.920 --> 0:11:49.200 the lines are on the bench. Let's talk Josh Allen, 0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:54.400 because this is fascinating. Your highest scoring fantasy quarterback over 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:58.200 the last three weeks and it's not close. Is Josh Allen. 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:00.960 He's the second leading rusher behind Akuon Barkley over the 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.960 last three hundred thirty four rushing yards over the last 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:06.600 three weeks since he returned from his elbow injury. Now 0:12:07.800 --> 0:12:11.960 that all sounds great until you realize the Lions have 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:15.320 allowed the fewest rushing yards. Two quarterbacks. Get a load 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:19.920 of this. Cam Newton mobile quarterback right two yards. I 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:22.400 think that was pre snacks Harrison even too, I think 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:27.880 that was Dak Prescott mobile quarterback right two yards. Russell 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:33.240 Wilson fifteen yards, m R. Bisky eighteen yards. Listen, there's 0:12:33.280 --> 0:12:35.720 a lot of danger for if Josh Allen does not 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:38.840 run like he has been running, and he may not 0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.400 against the Lions. Needs a hundred yards for him to 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:44.760 be fantasy startable. I don't you need almost a hundred 0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:47.079 rushing yards. It's a little bit like Lamar Jackson. The 0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:49.800 numbers indicated, But those guys when we ran like two 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:51.760 or three times each two, they weren't even attempting to 0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:54.080 run the ball against Detroit. So yeah, so there is 0:12:54.120 --> 0:12:56.120 that as well, and so they may not even try 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:58.480 to run Josh Allen in this game now. They don't 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:00.360 do a lot of design runs for Josh. Most of 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:02.760 the yards he picks up are just him just doing 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:05.840 improvisation behind the line of scrimmage. But he's not a 0:13:05.840 --> 0:13:09.079 gifted passer. He's completing only fifty of his throws. He's 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:12.400 been held to zero or one touchdown pass in seven 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:14.839 of his eight games. It's worth noting that Detroit plays 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:17.360 a lot of zone coverage, so there might not be 0:13:17.440 --> 0:13:20.120 breakdowns for him to go through holes and run down 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:24.079 the field either. So I'm nervous. I've gotta be great 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:25.880 on Josh Allen out of respect for what he could 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:28.640 do on the ground, But just know that I think 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.400 this is the biggest high risk, high reward player on 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.200 the entire slate this week. Josh Allen. The only other 0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:37.160 Bill I'm gonna mention is Robert Foster, a fast downfield 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:40.000 threat who just needs one, really one deep reception to 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:42.080 make an impact, but he's gonna see shadow coverage from 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:46.440 Darius Slay. Slays sometimes great, but he also gives up 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:49.199 a lot of big plays. He's given up six touchdowns 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:51.199 in his coverage, which is a lot for anyone cornerback 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:54.040 at this stage of the season. Um, so he could 0:13:54.080 --> 0:13:55.679 go any direction there. I've got to see great on 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:58.120 Robert Foster, and the running backs are on the bench, 0:13:58.480 --> 0:14:01.679 neither McCoy or Ivor are healthy, and Snacks Harrison shuts 0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:06.400 down the run anyway. You don't see slay on Za No, 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:08.920 because of the slot z's and I like slaves a 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:13.440 though the slaves I think you wanted. When we come back, 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:16.600 take a chance on me. Nine players not normally in 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:21.400 your starting lineup, and yes, even in the Fantasy semi finals. 0:14:21.840 --> 0:14:24.320 These are guys that can help you tell you who 0:14:24.360 --> 0:14:38.200 they are when we come back. This is take a 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:42.480 chance on me. Let me, let me try that again. 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:45.840 It's a statement. This is take a chance on me. 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:52.600 I'm Ron Burgundy. There's typing the question mark in the telepropter. 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:56.600 Did you get see the stephen A. Smith Ron Burgundy 0:14:56.640 --> 0:15:00.240 match up? No? Oh god, it's brilliant. I would gonna 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:02.880 Henry bit. I was gonna do my first matchup as 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:06.920 stephen A. Smith. I'm banking on a big game from 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:11.960 Bubba Franks week. That would have made if we would 0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:15.040 have had a Charger game today, you had to have 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:18.200 done it right. But the Charger game already happened. If 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:20.200 we would have, that would have been great. Marry and 0:15:20.240 --> 0:15:24.760 Potts is gonna have a big game. Natron means Natron 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.320 means business. Let's go to uh, let's go to the 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:31.440 quarterback position. Nine guys, well not nine quarterbacks, three quarterbacks, 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:33.920 nine total players you can start in your lineup that 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.920 you normally would not Brian, Who's our first contestant? I'm 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:39.600 going with Nick Mullins at home against the Seahawks. In 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:42.960 his five starts, Mullins is averaging more than two passing 0:15:43.000 --> 0:15:45.600 yards per game, which put some top five during that span. 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:49.800 Before Kirk Cousins only threw one touchdown last week against Seattle, 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:53.800 the Seahawks had conceded two passing touchdowns in six straight games, 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:56.680 which included a two touchdown game from Mullins in Week thirteen, 0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:59.480 who also had four fourteen passing yards in that game. 0:15:59.760 --> 0:16:02.760 How worth noting. I'm not predicting four hundred in this one, 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:06.240 but there are some injuries to Seattle secondary safety Bradley 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:09.320 McDougald could be inactive after being added to the injury 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:12.520 report late this week, and backup safety Maurice Alexander's out, 0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:14.400 so they could be thin there. So I'm like in Mullins, 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:18.440 Nick Mollins, I've got Baker Mayfield for about the fifth 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:23.480 time this year. It really doesn't qualify. H you can 0:16:23.520 --> 0:16:26.920 give me a anti peacock, maybe a sad trombone though, 0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:28.560 because he was might take a chance on me guy 0:16:28.720 --> 0:16:33.080 last week. Uh. He topped three hundred yards thrown for 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:36.680 multiple touchdowns in six of the last seven games except 0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:40.840 for last week, and he totally did not. Um. I'm 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:42.680 going back to the well though. In the in their 0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:46.480 last six games, four quarterbacks have topped the three yard 0:16:46.520 --> 0:16:49.960 mark and four quarterbacks have had multiple scores against the Broncos. 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:52.560 And over the last five weeks, in fact, the Broncos 0:16:52.560 --> 0:16:54.760 have allowed the most passing yards in the league, and 0:16:54.800 --> 0:16:57.960 that includes games against the aforementioned. Nick Mullins and Jeff 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:02.640 Driskell Um mentioned this about your your selection of Baker Mayfield. 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:06.440 Last week. He threw four in completions for the whole game. 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:09.080 He actually had a really good game. It's not a 0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:11.720 fantasy and fantasy. He had a good start to the 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:14.440 game and it just like dried up. Now here's a 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:19.240 real take a chance and he played Derek Carr with 0:17:19.400 --> 0:17:22.840 back to back strong fantasy games and a potential cupcake 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:26.200 on the schedule. He's throwing five touchdowns over the last 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:30.879 two weeks. The Bengal secondary without Drake Kirkpatrick Tony McCrae 0:17:30.920 --> 0:17:33.520 last week. They may both be missing this week as well. 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:36.480 Even though the Bengals shocked me by containing Philip Rivers 0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:39.280 somewhat last week, they're only two games removed from getting 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:42.480 destroyed by Baker Mayfield and then Drew Breese a couple 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:44.920 of weeks before that. Needless to say, starting any Raider 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:47.440 comes with a certain amount of danger. But Derek Carr 0:17:47.480 --> 0:17:49.240 things are lining up for him. The Raiders are actually 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:54.080 playing competent quasi competent football right now. Let's go to 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:56.200 the running back position, Brian, they're going to raise a 0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:59.480 banner next year in the stadium saying they played That's 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:05.040 right what stadium? Which good point? What we're doing running back? 0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:09.399 I'm gonna go Elijah McGuire at home against the Texans today, 0:18:09.520 --> 0:18:11.560 so you better add him if you can. Uh. He's 0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:13.880 probably not available in a ton of leagues, but Isaiah 0:18:13.920 --> 0:18:16.600 crow Well is no more. Uh. McGuire stepped in last 0:18:16.640 --> 0:18:18.640 week and logged eight plus combo yards in the game, 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:21.600 winning touchdown and a tough matchup against the Bills. This 0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:23.480 is a tough matchup on paper as well. On the 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:25.840 ground at least, UH Texans are allowing less than four 0:18:25.920 --> 0:18:28.400 yards per carry, but they have allowed four rushing touchdowns 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:30.520 running backs over the last four weeks, and they do 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:32.880 allow the tenth most catches of running backs nearly six 0:18:32.880 --> 0:18:36.040 per game. And McGuire is a able receiver. Able, I'd 0:18:36.080 --> 0:18:39.119 leave it at able. I've got t J. Yeldon against 0:18:39.119 --> 0:18:43.240 Washington team. Washington is on their fourth string quarterback, a 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:45.879 guy who hasn't started a game in seven years, the 0:18:45.960 --> 0:18:49.760 longest span since Doug Flutie came back to the league. UH. 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:52.280 Their line is toast, their defense has been brutal, and 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:54.600 they just gave up forty points of the Giants last week. 0:18:54.640 --> 0:18:57.280 So the game script favors the Jags jumping out to 0:18:57.359 --> 0:18:59.720 a lead, and even if they don't spell for net 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:03.040 Yellen could play in the passing game pretty well. Washington's 0:19:03.040 --> 0:19:05.960 allowed receiving yardage days of one oh, two, sixty and 0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:08.560 seventy three two running backs this year. Two of those 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:11.639 were Chuck Quiz Rogers and Tevin Coleman. And if this 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:13.959 game is tight, Yeldon could be involved in that passing 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:16.280 game too. He's had eight targets and seven catches just 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:19.040 two weeks ago, so I think that he'll be involved. 0:19:19.840 --> 0:19:23.359 I love Kenneth Dixon this week. I believe he's right 0:19:23.400 --> 0:19:28.359 around running back twenty seven for me by the and 0:19:28.400 --> 0:19:31.760 dirt cheap on Van ball Head coach John Harbaugh at 0:19:31.760 --> 0:19:34.360 the end of last week's game said, we gotta get 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:37.840 we gotta have an expanded role for Kenneth Dixon. I 0:19:37.840 --> 0:19:41.840 wouldn't be surprised if he starts the game over Gus Edwards, 0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:44.800 but I think we could be coming to that. Dixon 0:19:44.840 --> 0:19:47.600 has scored in back to back games since coming half off. 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:51.000 I R and he gets Tampa Bay, the team allowing 0:19:51.040 --> 0:19:54.399 the second most rushing touchdowns, and Guest Edwards does not 0:19:54.520 --> 0:19:58.440 catch at all. Kenneth Dixon does Tampa bottom five against 0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:02.520 running back receptions dead la Auston running back receiving touchdowns. 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:05.680 A great opportunity for Kenneth Dixon in this game. Let's 0:20:05.720 --> 0:20:08.359 go to the wide receiver position. Brian all Right, this 0:20:08.720 --> 0:20:10.920 could be a guy for those Keenan Allen owners who 0:20:10.920 --> 0:20:14.359 are hurting. I'm going Dublin down on the Jets. Robbie 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:18.439 Anderson today baby uh Sam Donalds had eyes for Anderson 0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:20.240 the last two weeks. He leads the team in targets 0:20:20.280 --> 0:20:22.440 and air yards nearly two hundred air yards this week, 0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:25.639 and burner receivers have had success against the Texans. T 0:20:25.800 --> 0:20:29.480 Y Hilton, Corey Davis, Antonio Callaway, something called Zach Pascal, 0:20:29.720 --> 0:20:32.879 Rochard Higgins all scored touchdowns in recent weeks. In the 0:20:32.960 --> 0:20:35.560 last two weeks the Texans. The Texans steps surrendered a 0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:39.040 career or league high thirteen completions of twenty plus yards. 0:20:39.320 --> 0:20:41.320 So this is a boomer Bus play. He could wet 0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:43.400 the bed, or he could pile up the points as 0:20:43.400 --> 0:20:46.639
