Speaker 1: my co host today are Scott Fish and Brian Johnson. Hello, guys,

7
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,920
Speaker 1: back again, back again, doing a row for you. In

8
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: a row that's that's what an honor for us really

9
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: and the listeners. It's a Feast or Famine edition Thanksgiving.

10
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: Did you feast with guys like Dak Prescott, Dawson Knox,

11
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: Cedric Wilson, Cedric Wilson or Bragger? Or did you get

12
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: famine on Thanksgiving? DeAndre Swift, Darren Waller? Did you fall

13
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: for the Tony Jones hype right before gamesh I hope not.

14
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: I hope not. That's that was a trap, right, there

15
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: was that offense broken. I stopped crying about Waller like

16
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: two minutes ago, and you gotta bring that up. Yeah,

17
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: sorry about that. We were here to help in either case.

18
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: If you are if you feasted on Thursday, We're here

19
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 1: to help you protect your lead. If you got famine

20
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: on Thursday and Thanksgiving Day, we're here you to help,

21
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: here to help you make up ground on your opponents.

22
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: We will do that over the course of the show

23
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: with take a chance on me, three tough questions, premature speculation,

24
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: and we will break down all the remaining games for

25
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: this weekend. Gentlemen, Let's start with the Falcons and the Jaguars. Scott,

26
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: this was a Falcons offense that looked hopelessly broken last

27
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: time we saw them. They face a surprisingly stout Jaguars defense. Yeah,

28
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: they do. The The Jack's defense has been really good lately.

29
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 1: In fact, they've helped three of their last four quarterbacks

30
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: they faced under two hundred yards. Josh Allen was the

31
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: one that got over, but he didn't even throw a touchdown.

32
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: So I have Matt Ryan and basically most of the

33
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: passing game on the bench. Gauge Wrestler. Gauge has a

34
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: better forties and seventy yard guy three out of the

35
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: last five games, but the two he didn't get in

36
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: that range, he got complete goose eggs, not even a catch.

37
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: How can you trust him here? And if you go

38
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: by the rule of every other like we were with

39
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: gasket last week. Then then we got a zero on

40
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: our hands. Uh Zakias. He did have that nice two

41
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: touchdong game a while back, but he hasn't had over

42
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: thirty two yards in any game this season. He's on

43
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: the bench. Uh. Cordarrel Patterson is the question mark. He's questionable.

44
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: He's put in some limited practices this week. I do too.

45
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,959
Speaker 1: I think I think it's gameplays. The last week I

46
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: didn't think he was gonna play at all, and he did,

47
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: and this week I'm I'm hesitant. I would give him

48
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: a C grade if he plays, because I feel like

49
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: he's the kind of guy like if they get ahead,

50
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: he's going to run the ball. If they are behind,

51
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna throw the ball to him. So like he

52
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: stays in the game no matter what. I'd give him

53
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: a C grade if he goes. Uh. The other running backs, however,

54
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: Quadrea Allison and Mike Davis, I have them on the bench.

55
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: It was too much of a split. They said they

56
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: want to get Allison more work, but they were really

57
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: ineffective with that amount of work last week. I have

58
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: them both on the bench. It's a lot of bench

59
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: grades so far. Now over to Kyle Pitts, Brian, It's

60
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: a nice spot in that seven tight ends have had

61
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: fifty plus and or a score the Jacks. Here's the

62
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: problem with Pitts. He's being treated like an elite receiver.

63
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: The average PF grade of cornerbacks he's getting is facing

64
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: is in the top twelve of receivers I, meaning he's

65
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: seen Deebo Samuel DeAndre Hopkins level seventy plus grades from

66
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: the corners on on him a few weeks ago, stuff

67
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: on Gilmore shadowed him a week or two weeks ago.

68
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: Lattimore covered him the majority of the time he sees

69
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: double coverage or help. On twenty of his routes against

70
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: the Pats last week, thirty one percent of the time

71
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: he saw double coverage or help. This is this is

72
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 1: why all the people that told you, oh, with Calvin

73
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: Ridley out, Kyle pitch is gonna blow up. No, it doesn't.

74
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: You know, for the millionth time, it doesn't work that way.

75
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: You know, when you take the best receiver off a team,

76
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: it only hurts everybody and by the waiver, but yeah,

77
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: still hurt. That kind of proves the point of Pelijack

78
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: taking away your best receiver if he threw doubles out

79
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: of the time. That's right. Um. The Jags may take

80
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: a similar role with Shaquille Griffin and throw him on pits.

81
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,799
Speaker 1: So I have merely a C grade despite an okay matchup.

82
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: It's just he's the top end talent and in some

83
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: of those games he would go three for sixty, which

84
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: is a decent game even against that top coverage. But

85
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: there's it's he's getting too much double coverage and top

86
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: top cornerbacks will break down Kyle Pitts in more detail

87
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: later in this show. On the other side, I have

88
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: the whole passing game on the bench for the Jaguars.

89
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence hasn't topped a hundred and sixty five yards

90
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: passing in three straight. That is nothing. That's nothing. That's

91
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 1: that's like half a deck press sky game. That's it's

92
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: basically nothing. Uh. He just lost Jamal Agnew for the year.

93
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: The Falcons. I don't care that their bottom ten against

94
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: against quarterbacks. Uh. Lawrence is similar to like the Zach Willis, Wilson,

95
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: Sam Donald types who all through for under two hundred

96
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: against them as well. Um, So I had the whole

97
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: passing game on the bench. I don't care that they

98
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: say they want to get Chanelt Moore in that agnew

99
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: role and get him touches at running back. I can't

100
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: trust it till I see it. James Robinson, No, I'm

101
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: giving a C grade too. He's been pretty ineffective with

102
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: his injured angle and knee despite lots of touches. Uh

103
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: in the two two weeks since returning from injury, those

104
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: thirty touches on total yards and scoring two games. But

105
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: he gets a seat here on the volume. I'm a

106
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,880
Speaker 1: volume see guy. If you if you tell me you

107
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 1: guys getting fifteen plus touches and it's a bottom ten rundee,

108
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you. I'm gonna give you the C

109
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: grade that that's that's about all I can give you

110
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,799
Speaker 1: as long as you're still hurt. Bucks take on the Colts, Bryan.

111
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: This Bucks passing offense hasn't looked quite right without antone

112
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: Yo Brown. And so does that mean we're gonna get

113
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: a little more Leo four net in this game? I

114
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: don't know if we'll get more of him, but uh,

115
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: I don't love the matchup for for Net. I don't

116
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: have the matchup for running. We'll get to the most

117
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: elite running back in the NFL in a second on

118
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: the cold side, but starting with four net just to

119
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: see for him, he's failed the top fifty rushing yards

120
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 1: over his last three games. He's had some tough matchups

121
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: mixed in there. The Saints were one of them. Ronald

122
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: Jones did steal a touchdown from four net last week.

123
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: That didn't help matters much, but the Colts are ranked

124
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: fifth against the run by Pro Football Focus. But receiving wise,

125
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: India is allowing four catches for yards per game to

126
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: running back, so that should provide some opportunities for for

127
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 1: Net to produce through the air. Among running backs, he's

128
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: fourth in targets, behind only DeAndre Swift, and that was

129
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 1: before Swift played on Thursday Night. Nag Harris and Austin

130
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: Ekela then it's Leonard four NET. No one really would

131
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: have predicted that going into the season, especially after Tampa

132
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: Bay signed Geo Bernard. So for Net, very active in

133
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: the passing game. He's startable, but just a C grade

134
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: for him, uh, not the opposite of the C but

135
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: in a for Mike Evans. The Colts are allowing one

136
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: and a half touchdowns per game to wide receivers the

137
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: highest clip in the league. They've surrendered six scores to

138
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: the position over the last four games. Not much more

139
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: to say here for Evans, he gets an A and

140
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: so does Chris Godwin, especially now that Antonio Brown has

141
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: been ruled out yet again. Uh just mentioned the monster

142
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: numbers posted by opposing wide receivers against the Colts, who

143
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 1: have also been smoked by slot guys like Tyler Lockett

144
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup. So love god when this week he gets

145
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: an A. Really like Gronk as well, be for him.

146
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: In his four healthy full games this year, Gronk is

147
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: averaging seven targets and has finished inside the top eight

148
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: at the tight end position, and three of them. The

149
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: Colts are allowing the sixth most points Fantasy points per

150
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: game two tight ends. So be for Gronk, and then

151
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,679
Speaker 1: an A for Brady because all of the plus matchups

152
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: for his past catchers. But just for fun now, all

153
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: these games I'm gonna mention with the Patriots, of course,

154
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: but the but Brady has thrown multiple touchdown passes in

155
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: nine of his last ten games, thank you, and he

156
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 1: had a hat trick and more in more than half

157
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: of those games against the Colts, so he's been kind

158
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: of slaying them over his career. So in A for Brady.

159
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: Now over to the coult side and we'll start with

160
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor or not a lot we need to even

161
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 1: say here, right Jonathan hey Lord like that. With Vida

162
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: Veya not potentially playing in this game, probably not playing

163
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: in this game that opens he's likely to come back

164
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: in this game. And Quentin Nelson aggrevated an angle injury

165
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 1: last week against the Bills. He was on the card

166
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: parted him off. He's looking unlikely to play. I'm still

167
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: going to give Taylord the A though has been going

168
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 1: absolutely preserved since Week fourteen, totally fifteen touchdowns in eight games,

169
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: scoring at least once in each of them. But Tampa

170
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,719
Speaker 1: Bay is an elite run defense, allowing just fifty five

171
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: rushing yards per game, less than a hundred combo yards

172
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: per game the position. But you can't give Taylor anything

173
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: less than A at this point. He's gotta he's got

174
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 1: to earn the B. I guess you can put it

175
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: that way. So and A for Taylor. I will give

176
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman a B though I was posting big numbers

177
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: not long ago. But Taylor is totally stole in the

178
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: show in recent weeks, but this could be a bounce

179
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 1: back spot that the Colts are unlikely to get back

180
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: starting corner Carlton Davis and um. They haven't faced a

181
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: ton of tough wide receivers over the last month. Terry

182
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: McLaurin is really the only good wide receiver they faced.

183
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: He did have six catches for fifty nine yards. I'll

184
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: get Pittman that as a safe floor, but he does

185
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: have touchdown upside. He is a monster in the red zones.

186
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: Would be for Pittman. I so I don't. I wasn't

187
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 1: where that t Y Hilton made his like third or

188
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 1: fourth return from injury last Yes, he's back, uh, but

189
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: I still got him on the bench and every other

190
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 1: Colts wide receiver. I also have Moale Cox Jack Doyle

191
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: on the bench as well. It is a decent matchup

192
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: that they kind of vulture each other, whether it's at

193
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: the goal or you know, in the red zone or

194
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: just out side of the twenties. So they're on the bench,

195
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: but Carson Wentz is not. I'll give him a see.

196
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: Indie might be forced to throw more against Tampa Bay,

197
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: who have still a run defense. Like I said, they

198
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: own the highest opponent passing play percentage at six. So

199
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: I'll give wins the sea. Alright, Steelers take on the Bengals.

200
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: Love this game for Nazi Harris. He destroyed the Bengals

201
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: in the earlier matchup. He remember that was his fourteen

202
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: reception game earlier this year. That's they're not gonna let

203
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: that happen again because he's not gonna get nin targets.

204
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 1: They're gonna watch the tape. They're gonna take that away

205
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: to some extent anyway, But the Bengals are allowing the

206
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: most receptions and fourth most receiving yards per game. That well,

207
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: that that did pad some of those stats for sure.

208
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: Um and just in general, they've struggled against running backs,

209
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: allowing one five total yards to runners, second most over

210
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: the full over a full season here and and that's

211
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: just over the last three games. So Harris is an

212
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 1: obvious sight. Let's go to the passing game. I want

213
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: to start with Deante Johnson. Get is since Week six,

214
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: which is a while ago now, says you know, over

215
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 1: the past five weeks, only Tyree Hill and Cooper Cup

216
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 1: have more targets than Deonte Johnson. Now it's only scored

217
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: once over that span, and it's touchdowns have never really

218
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: been his game. But he gets you to a solid

219
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 1: eighty two gay average of eighty two yards per game,

220
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: and we'll take that. Um. He missed the first earlier

221
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: matchup with the Bengals, he was out for that game,

222
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: but last year crushed him went over one hundred yards

223
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 1: and both of the games. So this is a good

224
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: opportunity for Deontae Johnson, who comes in with a B grade,

225
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: just a C grade on Chase Claypool. Here Bengals start

226
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: Shadobe Awuzier and Eli Apple on the outside and they've

227
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: combined to allow two scores in the last three games,

228
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 1: so there's a decent chance there. The best reason to

229
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 1: start Cha Pool Chase Claypool is just because he's so

230
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 1: much bigger than those guys, four inches and thirty pounds

231
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: on both of them. And perfect problem recently, even before

232
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,719
Speaker 1: the injury, is he's not getting separations, so it's a

233
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: lot of contested catches. With that size advantage, you can

234
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 1: get those catches. Absolutely. I had a big game against

235
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: the Bengals the previous meeting, but again, Deante Johnson wasn't

236
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: on the field for that one. Pat Friar Muth I

237
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: like him here a lot. Eric Ebron has been ruled

238
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: out and over the last five weeks Firemouth averaging over

239
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: seven targets per game, and over those last five weeks,

240
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 1: he's the third highest scoring fantasy tight end. And over

241
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: that same span, averaging five receptions per game, he scored

242
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: four times. And the last time these teams met he scored.

243
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: So Friar Muth b grade in that one. Roll all

244
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: of that together and I've got a C grade on

245
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger with some B upside, But we're calling it

246
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: a straight seat. This is not a We're not changing

247
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: anything here. This is still just a seat. Very good.

248
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: Over the last two games of multiple touchdowns for Ben Roethlisberger,

249
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: he rarely does that as one touchdown game guy. Prior

250
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: to that, he had thrown for exactly one score and

251
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: six of the first seven games, including the earlier matchup here.

252
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: Bengals held Derek Carr in check last week, but in

253
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: their two prior games, they've given up combined five touched

254
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: to Baker Mayfield and Mike White. So Roethlisberger has got

255
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: some a little better upside than the Sea. But on

256
00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: the law on the whole, I still can't get in

257
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: past that CE grade. Let's go to the Cincinnati side.

258
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon is an obvious A. He's arguably the second

259
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: hottest running back behind only Jonathan Taylor, averaging a hundred

260
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: seven total yards and one and a half touchdowns per

261
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,079
Speaker 1: game over the last five games. He's an obvious start here.

262
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: Let's go to the passing game. Jamaar Chase gets a

263
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: B grade. He's matchup proof, but he'll face two capable

264
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: veterans in the form of Joe Hayden and Cameron Sutton.

265
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: Haydn missed the last game of the foot injury. Sutton

266
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: gives up a seventy percent catch rate, so Chase has

267
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,439
Speaker 1: got the upper hand on in those scenarios. Over the

268
00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,199
Speaker 1: last three weeks, He's averaged just thirty seven yards, though,

269
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: which is a bit of a worry. I don't think

270
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: he's hitting the rookie wall per se, but I think

271
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: there is a little bit of concern there. Fortunately, still

272
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 1: getting lots of targets, and with enough volume he should

273
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 1: be able to overcome a capable but not great secondary

274
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 1: B grade on Jamaar Chase. C grade on tee Higgins

275
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: with the assive dud last week. Prior to that, he

276
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: had notched at least fifty eight yards and or a

277
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,719
Speaker 1: score in five of the previous seven games. Uh He

278
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 1: was inactive for the earlier game against Pittsburgh, but his

279
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: career best game came against Pittsburgh last year. Higgins has

280
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: slightly positive matchups against the aforementioned Hayden and Sutton on

281
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: the outside. He's got to see Gray Tyler Boyd startable

282
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: in this game. He runs from the slot, and he's

283
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 1: scored in two of the last three full games against

284
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: the Steelers and fellow slot receivers Keenan Allen thumped him

285
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: for a season high one hundred twelve yards last week.

286
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: The main slot defender is usually Train Norwood, who gave

287
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: up one hundred yards, a score and a perfect passer

288
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: rating against the Chargers last week. Put all those receivers together,

289
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 1: and I've got a b ish grade for Joe Burrow.

290
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 1: What's that mean? It means a B. He's the ice

291
00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: cold with back to back duds, and the Steelers don't

292
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: really feel you know what I'm going see grade, see

293
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: grade on Joe Burrow. Steelers are not a get right

294
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: spot especially with makeup. Fitzpatrick coming back for this game,

295
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: and he will for this one. Burrow posted three touchdowns

296
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: in the earlier meeting, but he was way hotter than that.

297
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: Given how cold he's been and how luke warm I

298
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 1: am on his receivers, I'm just going with a C

299
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: grade on Joe. Speaking of sea grades, Scott Fish really

300
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: should have given one to Dan Arnold. Them a little

301
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: pod right now, but I guess I should have. I

302
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: should have given him a sea grade. All right, great,

303
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: all right, there you go. Thanks, Okay, if you that's

304
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: what you wanted. The bench dan Arnold have last week

305
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: zero targets wasn't his fault, but three the five tight

306
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: ends to see at least five targets against the Falcons

307
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: have finished top six, and Arnold's gonna see is at

308
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: least at least week. I'm fine with it. I had

309
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: a bench grade. I'm fine with you. But Jaguars didn't

310
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: get the ball until like a minute left in the

311
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 1: first quarter. Then we come back, take a chance on me.

312
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: Nine players not in really and you're starting lineup will

313
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 1: tell you who they are when we return. Take a

314
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: chance on me. Nine players not normally in your starting lineup.

315
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: We'll give your quarterbacks running back to receivers you can

316
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: pick up off the waiver wire in many cases and

317
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: give a start. This week, we begin at the quarterback

318
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: position and Scott Fish. Yeah, I'm gonna start with Tyrod Taylor.

319
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: Trod Taylor. Excuse me? It gets a Jets matchup. The

320
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: Jets of allowed two fifty plus yards and multiple scores

321
00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: to six straight quarterbacks. Taylor has multiple scores in all

322
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: four of his fall games this year. Actually, even the

323
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 1: game that it wasn't full game, he had multiple scores

324
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 1: uh six passing and three rushing. He's also averaging twenty

325
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: to thirty rushing yards per game and a score per

326
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,959
Speaker 1: game four touchdowns rushing. Give me to Taylor, all right,

327
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: I like it your quarterback, Brian. I got big mac

328
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: Jones at home against the Titans. Now, I'm a little

329
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: worried about how this game script might turn out for

330
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: the New England pass attack. We'll talk about this game later.

331
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: They're not going to need to pass much, but still,

332
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: mac Jones has looked great over his last two games,

333
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: has completed eighty four percent of his past attempts, and

334
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 1: he didn't get a chance to light up the box

335
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: score in last week's spanking of the Falcons. H Jones

336
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 1: did have a hat trick in Week ten against Cleveland.

337
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: Would have had four touchdown passes, but Brian Hoyer came

338
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: in for in for relief. It wasn't really relief. He

339
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,399
Speaker 1: threw a touchdown pass, so it should have been a

340
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: four touchdown game for mac Jones. Tennessee does own the

341
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: third highest opponent passing play percentage at sixty that this well, well,

342
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: the Patriots jumped out ahead and they will. It could

343
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 1: be through the air from mac Jones. Uhlons have allowed

344
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 1: at least two passing yards indoor, multiple passing touchdowns and

345
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 1: three of the last four games, So I'm going mac

346
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: Jones where he could get paid off. They might run

347
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: up to the goal line, let mac Jones throw. You know,

348
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: he could get a three touchdown game on eight yard,

349
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: five yard and four yard touchdowns. Jacks might let him

350
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: have some fun in this one. They might know, they might.

351
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 1: I've got Jimmy Garoppolo going up against the Vikings. Vikings

352
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: will be missing all four of their starting defensive linemen

353
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 1: in this game. Garoppolo is gonna have plenty of time

354
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 1: and over the last three games with Garoppolo healthy, Samuel healthy,

355
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: are you healthy? And George Kittle healthy. He's throwing multiple

356
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,719
Speaker 1: touchdowns in every game, and he's top three hundred twenty

357
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: two yards in two of the three games. He's proving

358
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: to be, begrudgingly too many, proving to be a serviceable

359
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: fantasy quarterback. There a lot of people who do not

360
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 1: like to think of Jimmy Garoppolo that way. Uh, this

361
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: is a very good opportunity. Minnesota just got eviscerated by

362
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers last week. I don't think we're gonna see

363
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: like four hundred yards and four downs here, but a

364
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: solid game from Jimmy Garoppolo coming up. Scott, Let's go

365
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: to the running back position. Who you got? I have

366
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: Ty Johnson in that same game the Jets the Jets

367
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: Texans game. Uh, Michael Carter is going to be out

368
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: for a few weeks. Here. The Texans are allowing over

369
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 1: four point eight yards per carry, which is good for

370
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: most in the league. They've allowed the second most rushing yards.

371
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 1: It's Coleman might get some work, but even before Carter

372
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 1: went out, Ty Johnson was stealing not just receiving work,

373
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: but goal line work. He was sharing the goal line

374
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 1: carries with Michael Carter, so I think he takes that

375
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,159
Speaker 1: on now. Mike White is the only quarterback that was

376
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: targeting running backs in that offense. Like their games were

377
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: like two catches, two catches, three catches, two catches total

378
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 1: for the running backs except for Mike White, who threw

379
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 1: you know, four completions per game to the running back.

380
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: But he he gets that work, he gets the goal

381
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: line work. I've c grade on him. So he's Johnson

382
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: makes sense. All right, Brian, you take a chance of

383
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: me running back. I got Dontrelle Hilliard. Who a lot

384
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: of people are you saying Tennis Clinton's running back at

385
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: the Patriots the game I just mentioned, Jeremy Jeremy McNichols

386
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 1: has been ruled out. Uh McNichols was out last week.

387
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: Hilli had played more than six of the snaps in

388
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: his first game with Tennessee. In that game, he was

389
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: also very active in the passing game, catching eight of

390
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: eight targets uh we mentioned I mentioned earlier. The Titans

391
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:21,520
Speaker 1: likely to fall behind in this one will be a

392
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: positive game script for Hilliard. The Patriots have allowed the

393
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: seventh most receptions and third most receiving arts of opposing

394
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: running backs this year, So Dontrelle Hilliard and PPR. Of course,

395
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,360
Speaker 1: in standard leagues maybe not so much, but most people

396
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,360
Speaker 1: play some form with PPR these days. So I think

397
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 1: we've put a different Titans running back into this spot

398
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: three straight weeks. We might not be done either. I

399
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: have not. Lamar Miller is still out there waiting in

400
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: the wind, and if anybody's gonna do it, it'll be you.

401
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 1: I've got J. D. Mckissic going up against Seattle coming

402
00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: off a season high and rushing yards, which is great,

403
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: but where mckissic is always gonna be more reliable through

404
00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: the air. Um, if Seattle can just manage to like hold,

405
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 1: serve or maybe even take a lead for a little while,

406
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: which is not a given, but if they can, that

407
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: will keep Washington from grinding out the game. With Antonio Gibson.

408
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 1: Seattle gives up the sixth most receptions and the most

409
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: receiving yards two running backs, and that's where mckissic comes

410
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: in here, of course, and mckissic is gonna get most

411
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: of what is there. They're averaging seven receptions and seventy

412
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: three yards. I'll take seven receptions in seventy three yards

413
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: out of j D mckiss. That would be fantastic or

414
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 1: something close to that. If he's got it, let's go

415
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: to the receivers. You omitted one very important fact there

416
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: as well. It's a revenge game for JD mkiss and

417
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: he had one last year with Washington against he had

418
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 1: a great game. I think Gibson was ruled out entirely

419
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 1: of that game. So let's still I love the call.

420
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 1: All right, good, let's go to the receiver position. I

421
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 1: am piggybacking off of charges prespect from last week to

422
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 1: go pick up Evan Ingraham and we're gonna start start

423
00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: him here now. Not just start him. I actually have

424
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: an A grade on him in this matchup. It's death

425
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: taxes and tight ends scoring against the Eagles. Uh, we

426
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: got okay. Uh. The Eagles have allowed eight touchdowns on

427
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: the season, two seven different tight ends. Uh. They just

428
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: give up a ton of yards. And also, Kyl Rudolph

429
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,400
Speaker 1: might not be playing in this which opens up even more.

430
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:20,479
Speaker 1: I'm almost certain Rudolph he's doubtful. He's doubtful at that moment. Christmas,

431
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: it's Christmas time. He can't be playing football. Sorry, Rudy,

432
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 1: rudoh sorry nine touchdowns. My favorite UH Eagles tight end

433
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: stat was against the Chargers. They allowed to to finish

434
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: inside the top five and neither were Jared Cook. Jared

435
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 1: Cook finished still top in that game too. All right, Brian,

436
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: your receiver not a tight end. I got um Carolina

437
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 1: is Robbie Anderson at Miami. Opposing wide receivers are averaging

438
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: more than fifteen catches, one and ninety yards and a

439
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: touchdown per game. Against the Dolphins, Anderson has seen twelve

440
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 1: targets over the last two games to the fourteen of

441
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 1: d J. Morris was right on on pace with him

442
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 1: in terms of targets. Both have nine is across those

443
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: two games. So I see major upside for Robbie, who

444
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: looks rebooted with Cam Newton at quarterback. He and Sam

445
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: Donald did not click at all. And quick site note

446
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: on Robby Anderson. Since the start of he's tied for

447
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: seconds in touchdowns of forty plus yards. Tyreek kills in

448
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 1: first by a mile, but then it's Robbie Anderson. And

449
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: when you think about Robbie's quarterbacks during that span, like

450
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 1: Sam Donald, yadda YadA YadA, Sam Donald again. So p J.

451
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: Walker in that safe floor. Huge. So Robby Anderson, one

452
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: of those guys if you're a deep hole after Thanksgiving,

453
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: is upside and he's available. Brandon I who goes up

454
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 1: against the Vikings. And at this point we can safely

455
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,199
Speaker 1: say Brandon Ayou has got four paws out of the doghouse.

456
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: He's actually get this as actually out snapped Deebo Samuel

457
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 1: in four straight games. He's managed eighty five yards and

458
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 1: a touchdown in two of the past three games. And

459
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: I passes the eye test. I mean, if you watch

460
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: him play, he looks, he looks fantastic. Um, he's working hard.

461
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: And here's the Vikings giving up the most yards to

462
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: opposing receivers two hundred four per game, and they've allowed

463
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: five one hundred yard receivers in their last four games.

464
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk nice play. In fact, you could couple him

465
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 1: with might take a chance, I mean quarterback, the garoppolo

466
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: to Ayuk angle. And there's another one Brian was just

467
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 1: talking about. You're down from Thursday's games. Here's your chance

468
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 1: to make up a little bit of ground. Right there,

469
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: Let's turn our attentions to a to not a great

470
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: game Jets taking on the Texas Texas Scott on the

471
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: Jet side, you already told us you like starting running

472
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: back Ti Johnson. What what do you think about the

473
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: passing game for the Jets with Zack Wilson back at

474
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: the helmet. I've gotten so many questions about whether or

475
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: not they can trust Elijah More. Yeah. I like Zach

476
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: Wilson's arm talent. I don't know that I can trust

477
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: his fantasy production or the amount of interceptions get based

478
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,920
Speaker 1: on earlier than the season, So I'm I'm still gonna

479
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,239
Speaker 1: have him on the bench. Despite a plus match up

480
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: against the Texans. But really that was Stafford and Murray

481
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 1: and Alan Josh Allen, Kyler, Murray and Matt Staffew there

482
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: that went for an average of three hundred yards and

483
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: they had eight scores combined between them. The other seven

484
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,400
Speaker 1: quarterbacks against the Texans two sixty seven yards, one touchdown

485
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: in two picks was their average. The Texans defense has

486
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: been shocked competent. They weren't good against the three really

487
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: elite quarterbacks, but others. So I have Wilson on the bench. However,

488
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: Elijah Moore, He's your wide receiver. One week's eight through

489
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: eleven wide receiver receiver three weeks, tons and tons of targets,

490
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 1: but he hasn't played with Zach Wilson for since earlier

491
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: in the season when they weren't on the same page

492
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 1: and he wasn't getting a lot of work. Uh. All three,

493
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with all three of these guys, More,

494
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 1: Davis and crowd are all all three have six plus

495
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: targets in five straight full games they played, which they're

496
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: they're all getting spread out work. I'm giving More the

497
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: B grade as the guy who's done it a ton recently.

498
00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: They really trust him. He scored four touchdowns in the

499
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: last three weeks, getting the most of the targets. He's

500
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: also kind of the big play guy, so I have

501
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: a B grade on him. I'm gonna give the this

502
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: the C grade to Davis. If he goes, he might

503
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: not go in this one. He's he's dinged up right

504
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: now with a couple of injuries. Uh, if he goes.

505
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: He's the guy that's got forty plus yards in six

506
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: of eight games, and he's scored in you know, four

507
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,159
Speaker 1: of the in half his games, so I have a

508
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: B grade on him. Jamson Crowder I have on the bench, Uh,

509
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 1: He's really a spot play against bad we we called

510
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: it last week against Miami. They're terrible against the slot

511
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: we had. We had Crowder starting here. He gets slot

512
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: corner uh Tavier Thomas who switched to swap slot corner

513
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: in week four and since then it has been PF

514
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 1: seventeenth ranked corner since since jumping into the slot. The

515
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: outside corners are seventy five or below. That's why I

516
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 1: got grades on them. I got Crowder on the bench

517
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: over to the Texans side. I already told you I

518
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: like to Taylor in this game, his receivers. I like

519
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: both of them a little bit, A little bit I

520
00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 1: do have. I have C grades on both Cooks and

521
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: cons you can if if you were allowed, if we

522
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,719
Speaker 1: were allowed, I would give Cooks a B B minus.

523
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 1: I mean, other than last week, Cooks has been mostly

524
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: dependable this year. Here's here's the problem over the last

525
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 1: Over the last uh four weeks, he's only seen five

526
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: downfield looks past twenty yards and that's where he makes

527
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: his hey and he's not because the line is not

528
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: blocking for any of them long enough to get those

529
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,800
Speaker 1: D balls. Alright, fine, I'll give it a be because

530
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: I originally added to be as a being changed it. Um,

531
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 1: let's hope, let's hope he gets one of those big plays,

532
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 1: but against this Jets team. The Jets. The Jets have

533
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: allowed fifty plus yards from the top two receivers seven

534
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 1: consecutive weeks, So the top two receivers are getting work done.

535
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm giving Collins a C grade two. He

536
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown last week even though the refs took

537
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: it away for no good reason. Um Johnson, Burke read

538
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: and maybe even Royce Freeman, you're on the bench. You're

539
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 1: on the bench. I I don't even want to get

540
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,960
Speaker 1: into it. They were so in eighteen carries for for

541
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 1: Burke last week made forty yards. Like they're so ineffective.

542
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,479
Speaker 1: That Jets around defense is terrible. Somebody I think somebody

543
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 1: probably gets a little something done. Oh but it could

544
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 1: be anybody. And losing really doesn't really change anything. It's

545
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: gonna be like forty six yards in a score. The

546
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 1: score will get it done and we don't know who's

547
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: getting it. Yeah, I'm I'm with you on that. When

548
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: we come back Panthers take on the Dolphins, Brian will

549
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: tell you whether or not Cam Newton is going to

550
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 1: continue the hot start he has had for the Carolina Panthers.

551
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,719
Speaker 1: When we return, you can get all my player rankings

552

Speaker 1: available for free Guillotine leagues dot com. You've got questions

553
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: on who to start to bench Guillotine leagues dot com.

554
00:28:45,440 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: We'll return to Fantasy Football Weekly in moments. Welcome back

555
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly. Last segment of our number one begins

556
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: with a dissection of the Panthers taking on the Dolphins.

557
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: Panthers offenses look rejuvenated with the return of Christian McCaffrey

558
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: and Cam Newton at the quarterback position. Brian, let's break

559
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 1: it down, beginning at the beginning with Cam Newton, who

560
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: has been fan who's we liked him last week and

561
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: he paid off? You like him here? Yeah? I do.

562
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him a be He certainly has a upside,

563
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 1: but I like the matchups for his three primary pass

564
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: catching weapons. None of them are tight ends, by the way,

565
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: but we'll get into those guys in a minute. And

566
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: like I just said, Cam's legs are certainly still a weapon.

567
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: Miami has faced three mobile quarterbacks over their last three games,

568
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 1: Trod Taylor, Lamar Jackson and Josh Josh Allen. None of

569
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: them really popped off, with still combine to average thirty

570
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: nine rushing yards, which equals a passing touchdown in most

571
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,560
Speaker 1: fantasy format. So I think Newton's a safe be here

572
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: with a upside. Uh, it's it's it feels like I

573
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: said that in three tough questions last week. There you

574
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: go right, and I didn't, so I'm proven wrong. So

575
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: far be grade for d J Moore as well. Opposing

576
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 1: wide receivers are averaging more than fifteen catches a hundred

577
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: ninety yards in a touchdown per game against the Dolphins.

578
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: More caught a touchdown from Cam last week, so no

579
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: concerns there. And for those reasons, Robby Anderson was might

580
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: might take a chance of me wide receiver seeing about

581
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: just as many targets as d J Moore. So I

582
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 1: love the both receivers, and you gotta love Christian McCaffrey,

583
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 1: but it's not an easy a. It's not a Fonzie

584
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: for Christian McCaffrey in the in this game. Even though

585
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: McCaffrey is scored five McCaffrey has scored twenty five and

586
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 1: twenty six PPR points over the last two games. But

587
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: that's with just one touch down, which is insane. Seven

588
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: team catches across the last two games for McCaffrey just

589
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 1: just an absolute beast when healthy, and Quickside notes once

590
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: the short sellers do cover a mc will be an

591
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: absolute beast as well, not financially Anyways, back to football, McCaffrey,

592
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: it is a tough matchup against Miami. The Dolphins run

593
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: defense has really stiffened over the last month. Over their

594
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: last five games, opposing running backs have averaged just forty

595
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: six rushing yards and no rushing touchdowns during that span.

596
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: And granted we're talking about the backfields of the Jets,

597
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: the Ravens, the Texans, UH and the Bills and the Falcons.

598
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: H McCaffrey better than all those guys combined, like through

599
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: the history of those franchises. Basically, it is worth mentioning

600
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: also that no opposing running back has topped fifty receiving

601
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: yards or scored through the air against Miami all season.

602
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 1: So if anyone's gonna snap that streak, it's Christian McCaffrey.

603
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: So I'm still give him an a, but it's not.

604
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: It's not a slam dunk for CMC. But went healthy,

605
00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 1: you're you're clearly going to start them over to the

606
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 1: Dolphins side. We'll start with Miles Gaskin. Just to see here,

607
00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 1: it's an even numbered week for Miles, which I'm very

608
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: concerned about. Science has proven that he goes off an

609
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: odd numbered weeks. Struggles, struggles and even the number of weeks.

610
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: But uh, at least Caroline has run. Defense has softened

611
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 1: since Week three. They've allowed one d eighteen rushing yards

612
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: per game since then. But be wary of what Gascon

613
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: might do through the air. The Panthers are allowing the

614
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 1: fewest receptions and receiving yards per game to opposing running.

615
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: Anything to do with Myles gask this week, Yeah, it's

616
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: a it's a softest. Just I'm not too worried about

617
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay. I mean probably, but you get you get

618
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: released by the Texans. You're not You're not very good,

619
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 1: um Gaskin. I'm gonna give him a C based on

620
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: expected volume, and just to see for Jalen Waddle, who

621
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: has pretty much been a safe B play at the

622
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: very least. But u G Team Leagues writer Jake Naggy

623
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: of no relation to Matt Naggy, so Jake actually knows

624
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: what he's doing. This is what he had to say

625
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: about Jalen Wattle. Wattle has developed one of the safest

626
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: floors around, posting between sixty and eighty five yards and

627
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 1: five of his last six games and at least seven

628
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: receptions and four of his last six. He'll need that

629
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 1: safe floor against the Panthers defense, though that is fairly

630
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,400
Speaker 1: stinge against opposing receivers, but that's largely a result of

631
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:19,239
Speaker 1: playing just four top sixteen passing offenses all season. Uh.

632
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: Carolina has been consistently cooked by quality wide receivers like

633
00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: Brandon Cooks, Adam thieland Justin Jefferson, and most recently Terry McLaurin. A. J.

634
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: Bouyer and Jeremy Chin had been splitting slot duties for Carolina.

635
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: As of late, both are allowing a passive rating of

636
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: at least ninety five on the season. Great work by

637
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 1: Jake Naggy on that there's uh. This cornerback group for

638
00:33:38,360 --> 00:33:42,400
Speaker 1: the Panthers suddenly uber d right. They added Stefan Gilmore,

639
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: they added they added in C. J. Henderson, A J.

640
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 1: Blue Ya, Dante Jackson. This is and they already had

641
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: a very good safety in Jeremy Chin. This is a

642
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: This is turned into a very good second. Yeah, so

643
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: I'm not getting hued at wide receiver too with Albert

644
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: Wilson or President Williams. They're both on the bench. Mike

645
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: Mikes he's really wide receiver to for the Dolphins, but

646
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: of course he's tightened eligible in fantasy football. That's the

647
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: only thing he's eligible as only one opposing tight and

648
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 1: his top fifty eight yards against the Panthers all year.

649
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:15,399
Speaker 1: Carolina also recently shut down the comparable Kyle Pitts, held

650
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: him to two catches for thirteen score of the Stards,

651
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,680
Speaker 1: Like Pitski runs the vast majority of his routes from

652
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 1: this slot or out wide. So just to see if

653
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 1: you kisiki and two uh is on the bench for me,

654
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: and this one when you're over under prop is set

655
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: at two passing yards, you just stay away from that

656
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 1: guy entirely fantasy football. Okay. I've got the Vikings taking

657
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: on the forty Niners Sdalvin Cook. Just a big rare

658
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 1: B grade for Dalvin Cook and a tough matchup. Only

659
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,520
Speaker 1: two runners have topped seventy two yards against the Niners.

660
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 1: That is not a particularly high threshold, and this could

661
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: be a trickier matchup than it sounds like. San Francisco's

662
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 1: biggest weakness is at the goal line, where they are

663
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,720
Speaker 1: allowing a touchdown on half of the rushing attempts inside

664
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:58,720
Speaker 1: the ten, and the Vikings run the ball constantly inside

665
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 1: the tent, so there's a good chance for a touchdown.

666
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: Though for Dalvin Cook, um I'll note that Cook's only

667
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 1: ranked twenty nine in attempts per broken tackle, and normally

668
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: we think of him as somebody who breaks a lot

669
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: of tackle hick Alexander Madison many times, right, So I'm

670
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 1: not saying something's wrong with him, but it doesn't. It

671
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to have the same level of explosiveness and

672
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 1: big plays off of making somebody miss. Profo ball focus

673
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: ranks is the fourth best tackling defense. So I don't

674
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: see the big game coming from Dalvin Cook here. Where

675
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: I see it coming is through the air as the

676
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: like this is gonna be a high scoring game. I

677
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,439
Speaker 1: love so many players here, justin Jefferson obvious a coming

678
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: out back to back games with over one hundred forty yards.

679
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: Jefferson runs almost evenly from every spot on the field, left, right,

680
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,240
Speaker 1: and slot and has got positive matchups at every single stop.

681
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 1: How about this stat as legendary as Randy Moss is.

682
00:35:54,120 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: In Randy Moss's first two years of football, he had

683
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: eleven games with one hundred yards. Justin Jefferson's already there

684
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: with whatever seven games left in the season to go

685
00:36:05,360 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 1: on a better than Moss like clip for Justin Jefferson,

686
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,200
Speaker 1: he's an A grade. I've got to be grade in

687
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 1: Adam Feeling. San Francisco has given a big games to

688
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,319
Speaker 1: receivers with competent quarterbacking all year, allowing a ninety yard

689
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: receiver or multiple touchdowns to receivers when they've faced Aaron Rodgers,

690
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:25,440
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, Kyler, Murray, Carson Wentz, Matthew Stafford. I think

691
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins in that mix. San Francisco's cornerback trio of

692
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 1: Josh Norman, Emmanuel Moseley, and Kwan Williams all rank they

693
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 1: rank respectively by Profo Ball Focus. So I like Theeland

694
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:41,720
Speaker 1: and many of these matchups. The only reason he doesn't

695
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:44,040
Speaker 1: have it and A grade here is he is somewhat

696
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 1: touchdown dependent. When he does not score, you usually get

697
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: a good not great box score from Adam Feland and

698
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 1: Tyler Conklin on the bench. Nine US have been fantastic

699
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: against tight ends since an opening week garbage time drubbing

700
00:36:57,719 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: by d J. Hockinson. San Francisco's only giving up per

701
00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 1: game averages of three catches for twenty four yards and

702
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 1: zero point three touchdowns per game to the position. We're

703
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: gonna sit Conklin in this one, and that leaves Kirk

704
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:12,399
Speaker 1: Cousins at a B grade. The beauty of starting Kirk

705
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 1: Cousins is that he never torpedoes your team with a

706
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: terrible game. He's throwing at least one touchdown in thirty

707
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 1: four of his last thirty five games. Then then he

708
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 1: periodically pops off for a monster game like the like

709
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 1: the likes of which he had last week. He's found

710
00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: his way to three or more touchdowns on five different

711
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: occasions this year, and as I mentioned, I like the

712
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 1: wide receiver matchups. So I do like Kirk Cousins with

713
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 1: a B grade in this one. All right, let's go

714
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:40,680
Speaker 1: over to the Niners. I told you I thought this

715
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: is gonna be high scoring game both ways, and it is.

716
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: Vikings are without all four of their starting defensive lineman

717
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 1: in this game. That's not good and That's why I

718
00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: love many players here. Deebo, Samuel's and obvious a best

719
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 1: receiver after the catch. And it's not even do You

720
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: can't even have a rational conversation with anybody about anybody

721
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: else in that conversation with the possible exception entire kill

722
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 1: for just speed. But nobody's more lethal at By the way,

723
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 1: I read a stat that the defensive line for the

724
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:15,760
Speaker 1: Vikings with all the backups and dropped about seventy pounds

725
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 1: per player. Oh no, kidding, Wow, that's amazing. Already told you.

726
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolos may take a chance to the quarterback. Brandon

727
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:26,800
Speaker 1: I who was may take a chance to be wide receiver.

728
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,319
Speaker 1: They have B grades in this game. George Kittle's gotta

729
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:32,839
Speaker 1: be grade. He scored in all three of his games

730
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: since returning from injury, re cementing his elite status. Minnesota

731
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 1: has found a way to keep tight ends out of

732
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: the end zone, at least until last week, when they

733
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 1: surrendered their first score to the position um. Much of

734
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: this is because they've only yielded to red zone touches

735
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 1: and four red zone targets two tight ends. Anthony Barr

736
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: comes back, he will be covering George Kittle extensively in

737
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: this game. Still advantage Kittle, but the Vikings have been

738
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: very good against the position. All right, let's go to

739
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 1: Alves Mitchell. I believe he will play in this game

740
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: off of the finger injury that kept him out last week.

741
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson had all of the run last week and

742
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 1: did nothing with it, which is great for Elijah Mitchell owners.

743
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,800
Speaker 1: That means that Mitchell should get the vast majority of

744
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 1: the work here. Wilson does have a history as a

745
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: goal line vulture, though, so I'll mention that, and I

746
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:23,359
Speaker 1: could see Wilson coming in and sniping touchdowns. But that's

747
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,799
Speaker 1: my only worry. When Mitchell is healthy, he gets all

748
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 1: the work and he's established a safe floor, averaging seventeen

749
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 1: touches in ninety yards per game. The Vikings have not

750
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,399
Speaker 1: allowed of running back to run for eighty yards since

751
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: Nick Chubb did in Week four, but the Vikings missing

752
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: all of those players on the defensive line, Mitchell could

753
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: be sitting on a really nice game. Let's hope he's

754
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: able to go. If he can't go, you can put

755
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,920
Speaker 1: a C grade on Jeff Wilson. Although I didn't love

756
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 1: what I saw last week Alright, final matchup of the

757
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 1: segment is the Eagles taking on the Giant Scott Eagles

758
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 1: have suddenly reversed the early season all passing, no running.

759
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 1: Now they're all no passing. Yeah, they gotta find some

760
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: balance sometime, right, although this is working way better for them? Yeah, yeah,

761
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 1: it absolutely is. Jalen Hurts obvious. If he doesn't get

762
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: it done passing like he didn't last week, he gets

763
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 1: it done on the ground like he did last week

764
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 1: with three rushing touchdowns, he gets it. He's He's been

765
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 1: a top twelve quarterback ten weeks or not nine or

766
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 1: ten weeks of this season so far. Obviously there, you're

767
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: not benching him. Tavanta Smith, I also have an A

768
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:29,959
Speaker 1: grade on He's He's Hurts main guy has sixty plus

769
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: yards in six or eight games, and now he's scoring

770
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: a lot more as Hurts. His progressing as a passer

771
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: um last last week was a little fluky with Hurts

772
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 1: running three in but he is the guy that Hurts

773
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: looks too in the end zone. A grade on Smith

774
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 1: Watkin Quest Watkins, I'm sorry, just when I start buying

775
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 1: into him, his targets are ticking up and schedule gets

776
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: easier then he goose eggs on us. So I'm throwing

777
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 1: touchdown two weeks. Yeah, I'm throwing him back on the bench.

778
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,800
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard B grade here the Giants been allowed a

779
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:04,959
Speaker 1: touchdown since week four. But Waller and Gronk just ripped

780
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 1: up the Giants the last two weeks for ninety two

781
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: yards and seventy two yards and a budget. The other

782
00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 1: tight ends did work too. It seems like that's a

783
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 1: that's the area there. They've been beaten recently in UM

784
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 1: and you get a lot of targets out of Goddard. Yeah, yeah, exactly,

785
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of volume that that there was.

786
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: Where my point is going is he those are the

787
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: two guys that compare with Goddard as far as volume goes.

788
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:31,839
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders B grade. Howard is out. That should mean

789
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,839
Speaker 1: a bigger look workload for Sanders. Scott does a lot

790
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 1: of stuff that that Sanders does. The reason Jordan Howard

791
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 1: was coming coming in is because he does the bang

792
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,279
Speaker 1: through the middle stuff buston. Scott really doesn't do that.

793
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,400
Speaker 1: So Sanders isn't gonna lose a lot of work to

794
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 1: Scott on that angle. I think he might get up

795
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: to his early season numbers of of snap counts in

796
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: this one. Um, the Eagles have been going to the

797
00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: running back to thirty five times per game, as we

798
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,000
Speaker 1: kind of alluded to. If he gets even half of

799
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 1: that sixteen plus touches, Um, you're talking about a Giant's

800
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:07,359
Speaker 1: team that all the backs of that sixteen plus touches. Uh,

801
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: they averaged a hundred and seven yards. So I like

802
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 1: miss Sanderson, he catches passes to my only concerned this

803
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 1: hurts stealing goal like Harries, it's legit. On the other side,

804
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones, I have a C grade. He's got his

805
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:25,400
Speaker 1: weapons back. Yeah, sharps out or not sharp Sterling Shepherd.

806
00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 1: Shepherd's oh, yeah, that's right. I you know, I wrote

807
00:42:29,840 --> 00:42:33,160
Speaker 1: this down before I saw Tony went doubtful. You know what,

808
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 1: I'm gonna bench him now, just should be on the bed.

809
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 1: Andy's Daniel Jones. The play has been so bad. Yeah,

810
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: the Eagles have allowed seven seven quarterback touchdowns in just

811
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 1: the last three weeks. But yeah, with with Tony out

812
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 1: now to Yeah, Shepherd's Shepherds. Don't trust Freddie Kitchens to

813
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 1: materially change, and you can't trust Holiday. You can't trust Slaton,

814
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 1: So the only past catcher I trust is might take

815
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: a chance on me receiver. I guess tight end Evan Ingram,

816
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:00,480
Speaker 1: because he's gonna be the only one out there that

817
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:04,800
Speaker 1: can really make plays, can throw, they don't have to

818
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: run something. I don't know. I should look up his

819
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: passing stats. I have a B grade on s Kwon Barkley.

820
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 1: Not the greatest return against the tougher Bucks run d

821
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,800
Speaker 1: last week, but it lightens up here. Illegals are allowing

822
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 1: the fourth most Comboy yards to running backs at over

823
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:22,560
Speaker 1: a hundred forty yards per game. They're not gonna have

824
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 1: Booker on the field. Barkley is gonna get He's another

825
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 1: week removed from that injury. He got some play in him.

826
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:30,719
Speaker 1: He had six catches in his first game back. He's

827
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: a dual threat. B grade. There be grade there, hey.

828
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:38,279
Speaker 1: From the Thursday games, Dallas has lost three of the

829
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: last four. Tony Pollard is simply a better running back

830
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: than Ezekiel Elliott. Do you know how many yards rushing EZEKIELA.

831
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: Elliott has in the last five weeks? No under five games,

832
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 1: under two hundred and five games. I don't. I don't

833
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 1: know if he meant to do it. But you called

834
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 1: him Elliott there, and I like Ezekiel that would be

835
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,160
Speaker 1: that's that is a tough guy name right there. At

836
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:05,320
Speaker 1: some point, at some point, they gotta flip the usage

837
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: on these guys. Jerry Jones, do you think you want?

838
00:44:09,280 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: He basically calls the plays right Our number two coming

848
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 1: fair amount of fantasy football mixed in there as well.

849
00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:10,279
Speaker 1: Those are all good things. Those are in my They

850
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: all go together in my world. It's it's all competitive gaming, baby,

851
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: we love it. Uh. This is a segment we call

852
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: three tough questions. We encourage you to play a long question.

853
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:27,680
Speaker 1: Number one, better tight end prospect in future years Kyle Pitts.

854
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 1: Our Pat friar Mouth will begin with our Kyle Pitts apologist,

855
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:40,320
Speaker 1: Brian Johnson. Um, I'm gonna have more counterpoints to this

856
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 1: ridiculous question. Pat fire movie conclearingly gonna have a great year.

857
00:45:44,480 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 1: He's having a great rookie year as an actual tight end.

858
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna say he is the better tight end

859
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 1: prospect in future years because I truly believe that Kyle

860
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:57,800
Speaker 1: Pitts to wide receiver because that is what he plays,

861
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 1: and yes, he's he is through among uh quote unquote

862
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 1: tight ends and yards despite having his by and despite

863
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: being the only past catcher that's drawing double coverage Pits, Yes,

864
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 1: and his his quarterback is dust In Matt Ryan. But

865
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,920
Speaker 1: I I honestly believe, and I don't like it, trust me,

866
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:17,839
Speaker 1: that Pitts is gonna be moved to wide receiver even

867
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:21,080
Speaker 1: in fantasy football couple world. I disagree with you there

868
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 1: because he for the contract. Falcons won't do it for

869
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:26,879
Speaker 1: the contract. His contract will be up in a couple

870
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,560
Speaker 1: of years, but they don't want to have to pay

871
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: him like a wide receiver they want to pay. If

872
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey hasn't moved age, then he won't, he won't

873
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: resign with Atlanta, and it will go somewhere else receiver,

874
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: because alright, okay, maybe we should have gone we should

875
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,520
Speaker 1: have gone to me first. Then I figured that better

876
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: tight end prospect in future Kyle Pitts or Pat Friarmouth.

877
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:55,480
Speaker 1: Excuse me, so I'm still sticking with See, I love

878
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: both these guys. I think this is talking to like,

879
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,360
Speaker 1: you know, who's better for the future, Hill or Adams,

880
00:47:01,480 --> 00:47:03,239
Speaker 1: you know, like it's splitting hairs from me, because I

881
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:04,959
Speaker 1: really I have both these guys in a lot of leagues.

882
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 1: I love both these guys. Kyle Pitts just runs so

883
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 1: many more routes. Uh, he he runs, He runs so

884
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,360
Speaker 1: many more routes. He gets so much more air yards,

885
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 1: he gets targeted on more routes um. His target share

886
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,640
Speaker 1: for the team is much higher. His catch percentage is

887
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 1: about the same. But where the difference is is really

888
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 1: touchdowns and and the red zone looks are even like

889
00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: way in a way for Pat Okay, Pat fern With

890
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 1: gets all the red zone looks. He gets so much

891
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 1: touchdown targeting. That's kind of what you look for in

892
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: tight ends because but touchdowns aren't super sticky The problem

893
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 1: is both we don't know who their cardobacks will be

894
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 1: next year. So I'm going to take the guy that

895
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 1: I already know gets an elite level, elite level number

896
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 1: of routes, you know, targets. Um, he's a bigger part

897
00:47:57,480 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 1: of the offense, and I think he's just a better

898
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 1: all around talent because I don't know what each offense is,

899
00:48:01,800 --> 00:48:04,320
Speaker 1: you know what the touchdown offense is gonna look for,

900
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:07,920
Speaker 1: like for Pittsburgh next year. This was a hard question.

901
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:10,760
Speaker 1: I think this is a legitimately tough question. Touchdowns aren't

902
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:15,759
Speaker 1: as sick as loophole aside. Uh, first off, let's start here.

903
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 1: I'm declaring victory and are heated preseason debates about Kyle Pitts.

904
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:25,560
Speaker 1: That's already over. That's not it is not even up

905
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:28,840
Speaker 1: for contest. It's third in yards among tight ends. What

906
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:32,040
Speaker 1: what Yeah, you're leaving out the one touchdown. Darren Waller

907
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 1: has two? Are you calling Waller? That is? That is?

908
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:38,879
Speaker 1: Waller has nothing to do with this conversation. He has

909
00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 1: been over the past month. Over the past month, Kyle

910
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:47,399
Speaker 1: Pitts is tight end thirty two in Fantasy scoring three two.

911
00:48:48,160 --> 00:48:50,839
Speaker 1: That is, he has if you started Kyle Pitts every

912
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,360
Speaker 1: week of the season he has hurt your team. That

913
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 1: is indisputable. That is, he has hurt your team over

914
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 1: the past past five weeks, which is a sizeable sample size.

915
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 1: Pat Friar Muth is tight end two in Fantasy Points

916
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 1: tight end two over the previous five weeks. Kyle Pitts

917
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:13,800
Speaker 1: is tight end thirty two. So this is not to me.

918
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:16,800
Speaker 1: This isn't close. That is a five weeks sample. But

919
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: they both have two top five weeks at tight end.

920
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 1: They both have four top twelve weeks at time end

921
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,319
Speaker 1: tight end, and Pitts has eight top twenty four weeks.

922
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,600
Speaker 1: Has played four games over the last five weeks start

923
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 1: he had his bidering that span. So talk about skewed numbers,

924
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 1: he's got triple the did you start him in his

925
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:38,399
Speaker 1: bye week? Um? Okay, now here's here's the X factor here.

926
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:42,040
Speaker 1: And this I really struggled, I really, I honestly struggled

927
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:45,920
Speaker 1: with with much of this. We know the Steelers have

928
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:49,120
Speaker 1: got a huge problem at quarterback beginning next year, right,

929
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 1: I mean, and I mean they this is it, this

930
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 1: is the end of the run there. But they also

931
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:57,040
Speaker 1: know that and they will do They'll take some corrective measure.

932
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,440
Speaker 1: Now the prrective measure may not work, but they're going

933
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 1: to do some thing about it next year. So then

934
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 1: we look at Kyle Pitts with Matt Ryan. Matt Ryan.

935
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:08,520
Speaker 1: There's a chance they move on from Matt Ryan next year,

936
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 1: but they will probably start him again next year. But

937
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 1: we're at that stage where any year is where it

938
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 1: could totally fall off for Matt Ryan. So then do

939
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 1: you ride out Kyle Pitts not knowing when the end

940
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 1: is here for Matt Ryan, or you better off with

941
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 1: Pat Friar Muth and whatever rebuilding measure that they end

942
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 1: up taking. And that's not obvious as to what the

943
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,880
Speaker 1: right answer is on that. And Steelers have always had

944
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:39,000
Speaker 1: consistent tight not not not necessarily elite, but even back

945
00:50:39,040 --> 00:50:42,160
Speaker 1: to the Heath Miller days, they've had pretty consistent tight

946
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: end and they you know, they've targed there tight end

947
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 1: the red zone for twenty years. And your case against

948
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:49,720
Speaker 1: Pitts in the summer was just he was a rookie

949
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: tight end. It wasn't that Matt Ryan was gonna be

950
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:56,120
Speaker 1: absolute trash, that Calvin Ridley away from the team, that

951
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:59,880
Speaker 1: Cordell Cordell Patterson was gonna be this ridiculous X factor

952
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 1: out of nowhere. You can't take like that. That's just

953
00:51:03,680 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 1: where we are today. And I won that, Dilton. I

954
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:08,719
Speaker 1: won the preseason bet on whether or not he would

955
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:11,920
Speaker 1: live up to your ranking of tight end four, your

956
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:14,359
Speaker 1: preseason ranking of tight end four. It's just it's just two.

957
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 1: He's tight end eight right now. No, I bet he's

958
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,200
Speaker 1: not even that high, but that's it's still not four

959
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:28,520
Speaker 1: either way. That is soundly seven. Okay, boy, after all

960
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 1: of this, the correct answer is Kyle Pitts Top question

961
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:40,640
Speaker 1: number two, sabotage drop, Russell Wilson, Scott Fish. What do

962
00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:42,920
Speaker 1: you think I believe I said in the preseason just

963
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 1: not to draft him, because that's that's a whole other

964
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:49,880
Speaker 1: conversation to take one of these This this is not

965
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,800
Speaker 1: like now. This is what we this is when we

966
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 1: talked about the preseason is the second half of the

967
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 1: year is bad for him almost almost every year now,

968
00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: and now he's dealing with a finger injury. Um, there

969
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 1: are enough qubs out there with the same that are

970
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:08,880
Speaker 1: gonna put up similar or better production without the name value.

971
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 1: So I I say, sure, I don't trust the run

972
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 1: game anymore. I don't trust pe Carroll anymore. Yeah. Yeah,

973
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 1: sabotage drop him, Brian sabotage drop Russell Wilson. Uh No,

974
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:24,600
Speaker 1: next week, don't do it this week. You're gonna play

975
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 1: him this week against Washington, who is given of the

976
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:31,879
Speaker 1: most passing touchdowns two quarterbacks. Of course, So sabotage. Don't

977
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 1: sabotage drop at the end of the week anyway. Your

978
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:37,880
Speaker 1: sabotrast draft window is next week after the big game

979
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 1: against Okay, yeah, I'll say yes if we're under that,

980
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:45,359
Speaker 1: yes notion, but yes after Sunday. Yes, sabotage rop Russell

981
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 1: Wilson for sure, especially because I mean Russell Wilson and

982
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:49,960
Speaker 1: his career is ten and two on Monday night with

983
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 1: absurd stats like and it's a great matchup. Again, for

984
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 1: those that are not familiar, the point of the sabotage

985
00:52:55,760 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 1: drop is to cost make other people spend some kind

986
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:02,239
Speaker 1: of capital their waivers spot or a bunch of fat

987
00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 1: and a guy who's not going to perform for that,

988
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 1: And so you can't drop him at the end of

989
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 1: the week because those pickups are free. You gotta drop

990
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:11,200
Speaker 1: him at the beginning of next week. The second half

991
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 1: of the sabotage is that they start him and they

992
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:16,239
Speaker 1: don't and that's delicious as well. And by the ways,

993
00:53:16,440 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 1: tenth right now and points per game among tight ends

994
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 1: and non PPR, he has had his by And despite

995
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:24,400
Speaker 1: that fact, he's third in yards and seventh in catches.

996
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 1: Guess the one touchdown? Matt Ryan has missed him on

997
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 1: multiple occasions in the end zone watching past I'm very

998
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:33,960
Speaker 1: upset with this. What was what was the correct answer?

999
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 1: I know, but still you're all over my boy. Listen.

1000
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 1: He wasn't that he never should have been ranked tight

1001
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 1: end four. That was ludicrous. Darren Waller been ranked you

1002
00:53:46,160 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 1: guys talked to me up to say, I'm preci I'm

1003
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 1: pretty sure I had him at six and moved him

1004
00:53:50,040 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 1: to five. Right, No, I moved him back to six

1005
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:55,600
Speaker 1: with the entry to alight factor. Russell, We're still time

1006
00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,880
Speaker 1: get this guy. Whatever over his last fifteen games is

1007
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:03,480
Speaker 1: a healthy sample size. It goes back to Halloween's Russell

1008
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:10,439
Speaker 1: Wilson's average output is two hundred fifteen yards and one

1009
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:15,280
Speaker 1: point four touchdowns. Who else is two hundred fifteen yards

1010
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:19,520
Speaker 1: and one point four touchdowns? Who is the statistical comparables

1011
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:27,040
Speaker 1: Sam Darnald to a Tonguo Violoa and Jimmy Garoppolo. None

1012
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:30,160
Speaker 1: of them may be starters next year. That is your

1013
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:33,800
Speaker 1: comparable to what Russell Wilson has delivered over the last

1014
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:35,920
Speaker 1: year and change of games. I just have to throw

1015
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,080
Speaker 1: this in because it's hilarious. Josh Norris, you know, Josh

1016
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:40,719
Speaker 1: Norris formally wrote a word. He tweeted out a meme

1017
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 1: a picture of let Russ cook next to a bowl

1018
00:54:43,320 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: of cereal with two uncooked Hodd dogs and a piece

1019
00:54:46,239 --> 00:54:49,600
Speaker 1: of not melted cheese in it. And I'm like, that's

1020
00:54:49,719 --> 00:54:53,439
Speaker 1: that's about right now. Get this the schedule another reason

1021
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:57,000
Speaker 1: to sabotage drop Russell Wilson. To schedule only one strongly

1022
00:54:57,120 --> 00:55:00,800
Speaker 1: positive game left at Houston. Every other game left is

1023
00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 1: neutral or negative for Russell Wilson. And ask yourself this,

1024
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:08,240
Speaker 1: with playoff time approaching, you need to get your quarterback

1025
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,400
Speaker 1: to help you win three straight games in the playoffs.

1026
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:14,720
Speaker 1: You can't trusts. He can't put together three straight good games.

1027
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:17,759
Speaker 1: His offensive line ranks twenty four and pass blocking by

1028
00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:21,000
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus. He's only got one reliable target, TK Metcalf.

1029
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:23,359
Speaker 1: So many things working against him. No running game, Yes,

1030
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,800
Speaker 1: sabotage drop Russell Wilson no matter what he does against

1031
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 1: the terrible Washington secondary this weekend. Tough question number three,

1032
00:55:33,520 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 1: what is the appropriate level of concern for Darryl Henderson? None?

1033
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:45,040
Speaker 1: Some or a bowl loosening level of existential dread? Brian,

1034
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:50,440
Speaker 1: I'm going none. He scored zero points last week, but

1035
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 1: that's because he was on by UM. Apparently only Kyle

1036
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 1: Pitts docked for that, but anyway, third easiest remaining strength

1037
00:55:59,680 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 1: of skal for running backs according to Fantasy Pros and

1038
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:06,760
Speaker 1: Sony Michelle, no threat to really steal touches from Henderson,

1039
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:09,880
Speaker 1: and without Robert Woods, he could see the Rams have

1040
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:13,000
Speaker 1: deployed him as a wide receiver on multiple occasions, put

1041
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 1: him out wide and completed long passes to him. He's

1042
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 1: got a lot of area yards for running back. So

1043
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:22,359
Speaker 1: I have no concern with Darren Darryl Henderson. I see

1044
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:24,800
Speaker 1: where you're going with this, and it's because his touches

1045
00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:27,239
Speaker 1: and his production came down the last two weeks last

1046
00:56:27,239 --> 00:56:32,160
Speaker 1: pretty pretty pretty precipitously. Um. But the even even three

1047
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 1: to even four weeks ago, he's still got like eighteen touches.

1048
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 1: The week after that, he got sixteen touches like the

1049
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:40,879
Speaker 1: last two weeks were the ones that really killed people. UM.

1050
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:43,359
Speaker 1: And the reason for that, the reason Michelle was getting

1051
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:45,759
Speaker 1: nine touches per game, is because they fell behind by

1052
00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:48,440
Speaker 1: two scores. I don't see the Rams doing that a

1053
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:51,440
Speaker 1: lot going forward. I don't think they're that broken. I

1054
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:53,320
Speaker 1: think this is a question of do you think that

1055
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 1: the Rams are a little bit broken and they're gonna

1056
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 1: be falling behind in games where Darrell Henderson isn't good

1057
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:00,359
Speaker 1: to get the usage he does. And I don't think

1058
00:57:00,360 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. I think they'll be ahead a lot.

1059
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 1: I think he'll get his usage back. He's been a

1060
00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 1: little dinged up. Um. Nobody else in that backfield gets

1061
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:12,960
Speaker 1: the receiving work. I'm gonna say some, but only because

1062
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 1: maybe the offense is broken and Darrel Henderson gets injured.

1063
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 1: It's it's something he does. He does. He's gotten hurt

1064
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 1: this year already a couple of times, played through it.

1065
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:25,320
Speaker 1: He got hurt in previous seasons. Uh. The correct answers

1066
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:28,240
Speaker 1: some diminishing carries in five straight games. Hasn't top ninety

1067
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:31,080
Speaker 1: rushing yards all year, but may or maybe more than

1068
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 1: anything else, I'm just worried that Sean mcveigh's got this

1069
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 1: knee jerk willingness to bail on his running game the

1070
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 1: moment his team is down. Will the Rams fall behind

1071
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:45,320
Speaker 1: at any point during this playoff schedule Seattle, probably not.

1072
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 1: How About at Minnesota with a good Vikings offense. Maybe

1073
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 1: at Baltimore maybe? And if they fall behind, does Darryl

1074
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 1: Henderson let you down in one of those games where

1075
00:57:57,520 --> 00:57:59,920
Speaker 1: suddenly it turns into a seven touch game. That's a

1076
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 1: good point, and that's what worries me. So I don't

1077
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 1: know that you can get through a playoff gauntlet where

1078
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 1: you can't afford any loss in three straight games. And

1079
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:14,000
Speaker 1: that's why three. The answer is the appropriate level of

1080
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 1: concern for Darrell Henderson is some s working one final

1081
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:21,200
Speaker 1: matchup in this this segment, it's not our final final matchup.

1082
00:58:21,880 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 1: The Tennessee Titans take on the Patriots. Brian, there's nothing

1083
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 1: left with this, There's nothing left of this, This Titan's

1084
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 1: offense missing. It's number one and number two wide receivers,

1085
00:58:30,880 --> 00:58:34,040
Speaker 1: it's number one tight end And I don't know we're

1086
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,960
Speaker 1: down to like running back seventeen here? Should I just say,

1087
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,440
Speaker 1: I'm just going with the doctor was might take a

1088
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 1: chance of Men's. Yeah, you can go to look at

1089
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 1: the other wide receivers, but suddenly they're like the top

1090
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:49,960
Speaker 1: option that it's gonna get shut down by cornerback J. C.

1091
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:52,400
Speaker 1: Jackson's looked great. So yeah, you can't trust anyone in

1092
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 1: the passing except Hilliard. Out of the backfield me Marcus Johnson,

1093
00:58:56,320 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 1: number one, two and three receivers are out. Johnson put

1094
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:00,520
Speaker 1: on I R by the way, you would have had

1095
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 1: a good game. You had the right call, but he

1096
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:06,200
Speaker 1: got hurt. Last weeks Fitzpatrick and n W I had

1097
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 1: a great game. But anyway, basically you're benching all Titans

1098
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 1: unless Hilliard. If you're desperate running back, he's a He's

1099
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:14,920
Speaker 1: take on Worthy over to the Patriots side the uh.

1100
00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 1: Damien Harris and Mndre Stevenson both get a C for

1101
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 1: me in a likely time share in this one. Teams

1102
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:23,680
Speaker 1: have been having way too much fun throwing on the Titans,

1103
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 1: but Tennessee just yielded thirty five running back touches in

1104
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 1: a loss to the Texans and in this game should

1105
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 1: offer the same type of script for the New England

1106
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:34,200
Speaker 1: running back, So a C for both just because they're

1107
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:36,880
Speaker 1: gonna kind of vulter each other on this one. Stevenson

1108
00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 1: maybe even gets the edge with the pass catching, but

1109
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 1: then again, they might never not even have to pass

1110
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 1: in this game, that's true. Uh. And with that said,

1111
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 1: just to see for Hunter Henry. For me, the Titans

1112
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 1: are allowing the fifth viewest Fantasy points per game to

1113
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 1: tight ends and John and Smith might get some extra

1114
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 1: reps in this one. It is a revenge game after

1115
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 1: but he's still on the bench though, Jonas Smith that is.

1116
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 1: I'll give the seed Hunter Henry, and now for Nelson Aguilar, Ja,

1117
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 1: Kobe Myers and Drick Borne. Kind of tricky situation here.

1118
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give each one to see, but I don't

1119
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 1: know which one is actually gonna have the the seaworthy game.

1120
01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 1: The Titans are allowing the most of everything to opposing

1121
01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:13,120
Speaker 1: wide receivers on the season, but again, the game script

1122
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 1: could get flipped upside down. I'll go with Kendrick Bourne,

1123
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 1: who has the most targets over the last two weeks

1124
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:21,680
Speaker 1: among the wide receivers in the most yards uh at

1125
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 1: a hundred and forty, and he scored a touchdown. Also

1126
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:27,320
Speaker 1: four rushes for fifty yards, so Kendrick Borne, if your

1127
01:00:27,640 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 1: ultra needy gets to see and I'm sort of saying,

1128
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 1: I'm worried about how much the Patriots are gonna throw,

1129
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:34,800
Speaker 1: but I still had Mac Jones. This might take a

1130
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:36,680
Speaker 1: chance to meet quarterback. I think they might let him

1131
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:40,400
Speaker 1: have some fun here aired out a little bit sounds good.

1132
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:42,840
Speaker 1: It's uh, it's just gonna be as one side of

1133
01:00:42,880 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 1: a game as as we'll see. Things were looking so

1134
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 1: promising for the Titans right before when they beat They

1135
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:53,720
Speaker 1: hammered Patrick Mahomes and dominated that game, and it looked

1136
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:55,560
Speaker 1: like they were as good as any team in the

1137
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 1: a f C. Fast forward, what three weeks and it's

1138
01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:02,800
Speaker 1: a complete disaster, clinging exact same team absolutely. When we

1139
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:06,640
Speaker 1: come back, the Browns take on the Ravens. Brown's offense

1140
01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 1: trying to rebound from a dug game, but they get

1141
01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 1: back Kareem Hunt. We'll tell you what to expect from

1142
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:15,320
Speaker 1: him and Nick Chubb in this matchup with the hated Ravens.

1143
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 1: When we return to Fantasy Football Weekly, Welcome back Fantasy

1144
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:37,000
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. We've got a block of matchups for you,

1145
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 1: letter grades and all the players who matter. Browns take

1146
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 1: on the Ravens now here's the schedule. Oddity with this

1147
01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:48,200
Speaker 1: is the Browns are gonna play the Ravens in consecutive games.

1148
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:53,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna go Ravens Bye week Ravens, which is I

1149
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:56,440
Speaker 1: as far as I can remember, and I'm not an

1150
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 1: authority on this, I don't ever remember that happening before

1151
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:03,840
Speaker 1: I playing the same team consecutively. That's it is. It

1152
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:06,000
Speaker 1: is bizarre. This is the first of the two matchups.

1153
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:11,360
Speaker 1: UM A grade on Nick Chubb Um, although this is

1154
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:14,160
Speaker 1: a little bit of a tricky matchup as Baltimore allows

1155
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:16,640
Speaker 1: the seventh fewest rushing yards and only Dalvin Cook has

1156
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 1: allowed fifty as top fifty nine yards. Chubb has always

1157
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:22,680
Speaker 1: shown up though against Baltimore. Is his career average hundred

1158
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:25,160
Speaker 1: yards and one point three scores per game against his

1159
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 1: division rivals. So we'll keep an A grade going there.

1160
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:30,000
Speaker 1: Cream Hunt comes into a B grade. He's off fire,

1161
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:33,120
Speaker 1: he's activated, he's going to go. Hunt can help on

1162
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:35,080
Speaker 1: the ground, but I really like him here as a receiver.

1163
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 1: The Ravens allowing the fifth most receiving yards, the tenth

1164
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 1: most receiving touchdowns to running game to running back, so

1165
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:44,600
Speaker 1: I think he finds a way to help out here.

1166
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 1: He's um the hobble. You know, Baker Mayfield comes in

1167
01:02:48,040 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 1: somewhat at least somewhat hobbled, and I believe that means

1168
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:54,440
Speaker 1: that they're going to end up emphasizing the run a

1169
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 1: little more than usual here and maybe some dump offs

1170
01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 1: to Hunt as well. Also, because Baker is not good,

1171
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:02,560
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to go quite there yet. He's been

1172
01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:05,600
Speaker 1: playing for all season long and I don't know, I

1173
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:08,240
Speaker 1: mean he has. He's been injured and inefficient, let's put

1174
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:10,120
Speaker 1: it that way. And that's why he's on the bench here.

1175
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 1: He's had he's trying to play through knee, foot, and

1176
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 1: shoulder injuries. There. There's a scenario where he may not

1177
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:19,920
Speaker 1: even finish this game. Who knows, but um, he was

1178
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:21,880
Speaker 1: unable to do anyth against the Lions last week. I

1179
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:24,280
Speaker 1: can't trust him in Baltimore, so he's on the bench.

1180
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:27,960
Speaker 1: I've got C grade on Jarvis Landry. Ravens have allowed

1181
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:30,640
Speaker 1: the second most yards and eighth most touchdowns per game

1182
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 1: to opposing receivers over the last five weeks, and much

1183
01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:37,080
Speaker 1: of that production has come from outside receivers because Tavon

1184
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:39,720
Speaker 1: Young is not allowed fifty yards or a score over

1185
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:42,439
Speaker 1: those five games. And that's Jarvis Landry is a slot

1186
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:45,760
Speaker 1: receiver and that's why he's only a C grade. If

1187
01:03:45,880 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 1: you are really in a dart throw need Donovan People's

1188
01:03:50,440 --> 01:03:53,200
Speaker 1: Jones if he plays through his groin injury, and we

1189
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:55,880
Speaker 1: don't know that he will. But the outside cornerbacks to

1190
01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:58,919
Speaker 1: the Ravens are just getting roasted. Over the past five weeks.

1191
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 1: They've allowed the second most yards two receivers, two fifteen

1192
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:03,320
Speaker 1: yards per game. And I just said, I'm not crazy

1193
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 1: about Landrying this lot. It's gonna go to outside guys,

1194
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 1: and Donovan People's Jones is the best they've got. Let's

1195
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:11,720
Speaker 1: go over to the Baltimore side. Lamar Jackson full practices

1196
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 1: all week after the crippling injury of our illness of

1197
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:18,280
Speaker 1: last week. A. He's kind of an amazing track record

1198
01:04:18,320 --> 01:04:21,160
Speaker 1: against Cleveland and it probably doesn't stop in this game.

1199
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:24,080
Speaker 1: Cleveland is understandably shut down the likes of Tim Boyle

1200
01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:27,240
Speaker 1: and Justin Fields, but good quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes, Mac

1201
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 1: mac Jones even counts here. Uh, Teddy Bridgewater just good

1202
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:34,800
Speaker 1: competent quarterbacking Teddy Bridgewater, Kyler Murray, Justin Herbert have combined

1203
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:37,680
Speaker 1: for eighteen touchdowns against the Browns passing and rushing. So

1204
01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:40,720
Speaker 1: I I like Lamar Jackson a lot in this one,

1205
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:45,840
Speaker 1: and I like his receivers, especially Mark Andrews. Since Baltimore's

1206
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:48,800
Speaker 1: Week eight by He's gone from averaging seven targets per

1207
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:51,560
Speaker 1: game to nine targets per game. That nine targets per

1208
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:53,520
Speaker 1: game for a tight end is a ton. On top

1209
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:56,040
Speaker 1: of that, he's seen thirty one percent of the team's

1210
01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 1: red zone targets on the season, which is amazing. Andrew's

1211
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:01,960
Speaker 1: has a great matchup against the Browns, who have given

1212
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:04,240
Speaker 1: up the eleventh most red zone targets to tight ends,

1213
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:08,040
Speaker 1: which have resulted in the third most touchdowns to the position.

1214
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:11,560
Speaker 1: In Andrew's last three matchups was Cleveland, He's dominated them

1215
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:14,360
Speaker 1: with five or more receptions for at least seventy five

1216
01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:19,560
Speaker 1: yards in every game. A grade for Mark Andrews Mark's

1217
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 1: Brown is going to enter Sunday's game is questionable and

1218
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 1: really maybe even a game time decision. We're hoping he

1219
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 1: goes here. Obviously, Cleveland hovers around league average and every

1220
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:31,280
Speaker 1: meaningful stat against opposing receivers. Brown's most common individual matchup

1221
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:33,840
Speaker 1: will be Denzel Ward, and that is a challenging matchup.

1222
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:36,360
Speaker 1: Ward is not allowed to score and coverage all year

1223
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:38,520
Speaker 1: and is not giving up more than forty five yards

1224
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:42,200
Speaker 1: since Week two. In his coverage, Brown averages three catches,

1225
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:44,760
Speaker 1: forty five yards and just a quarter of a touchdown

1226
01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:48,480
Speaker 1: against four in four career games against the Browns. I

1227
01:05:48,600 --> 01:05:51,360
Speaker 1: would give him normally I would give him a seed,

1228
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:52,960
Speaker 1: but I'm giving him a be just because he's been

1229
01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:57,320
Speaker 1: so good all season and almost every game. But in reality,

1230
01:05:57,800 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 1: if I just throw out the past and I look

1231
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:03,280
Speaker 1: at a injured player in a two very tough matchup,

1232
01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:05,680
Speaker 1: he deserves a see. But I'm giving him a beat

1233
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:09,240
Speaker 1: because of his past work. Quick just to pile on

1234
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:12,960
Speaker 1: the domination of the Browns by Mark Andrews five touchdowns

1235
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 1: across his last four. He scored two touchdowns in two

1236
01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:20,400
Speaker 1: of those games. Geez, just just he's fantastic matchup for him,

1237
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:22,680
Speaker 1: and again a grade there, rosch out Bateman. We thought

1238
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:25,200
Speaker 1: the breakout, we keep thinking the breakout games coming, and

1239
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:27,680
Speaker 1: it might have come last week if Lamar Jackson had

1240
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:31,320
Speaker 1: actually played it got got thwarted by Tyler Huntley. Um.

1241
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:37,360
Speaker 1: With Jackson back, this matchup is just fair. Um, I'm

1242
01:06:37,400 --> 01:06:41,160
Speaker 1: worried about his matchup with on the outside with impressive

1243
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 1: rookie Greg Newsome. It's a rookie on rookie, first round

1244
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:45,600
Speaker 1: rookie Greg Newsom has been good. He hasn't given up

1245
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:48,080
Speaker 1: a score since week two. He's allowing him modest forty

1246
01:06:48,160 --> 01:06:50,200
Speaker 1: six yards per game in his coverage, and he will

1247
01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:51,720
Speaker 1: also see some of Denzil a Ward, who I just

1248
01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:54,200
Speaker 1: was talking about as a very good matchup. So I'm

1249
01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 1: nervous about Bateman here just the C grade on him

1250
01:06:57,080 --> 01:06:59,720
Speaker 1: in this game. And the only running back you'll consider

1251
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:02,840
Speaker 1: staring his DeVonta Freeman. So last week Lataviasmurray came back

1252
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:06,440
Speaker 1: and I thought Marie would go back to the depth

1253
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:08,160
Speaker 1: chart top of the depth chart and get most of

1254
01:07:08,200 --> 01:07:10,160
Speaker 1: the work, but that was not the case. It was

1255
01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:12,480
Speaker 1: actually Freeman who got much more work and more it

1256
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:15,760
Speaker 1: was more effective than Murray. So he's your lead running back.

1257
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:18,440
Speaker 1: The Browns are pretty tough on paper as a run defense,

1258
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 1: allowing the eighth fewest rushing yards on the six lowest

1259
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:25,480
Speaker 1: yards per carry, but lately they've been gashed by high

1260
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 1: leverage starters over the last four games. Nazi Harris, Joe Mixon,

1261
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:33,800
Speaker 1: Romandri Stevenson and DeAndre Swift. We're all way better than Freeman. Granted,

1262
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:35,760
Speaker 1: but they've had a hundred twenty yards and one and

1263
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:38,080
Speaker 1: a half touchdowns per game. So if we can get

1264
01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:41,120
Speaker 1: half that out of DeVonta Freeman, there's your C grade

1265
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 1: for Freeman right there. Next matchup and it's a doozy

1266
01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:50,680
Speaker 1: Rams taking on the Packers, Scott. The Rams offense has

1267
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:53,320
Speaker 1: gotten itself in big holes in each of the last

1268
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:55,960
Speaker 1: two games and been out of sync. Do they get

1269
01:07:56,120 --> 01:07:59,640
Speaker 1: healthy here against the Packers? Yeah? Just throw everyone in

1270
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:05,840
Speaker 1: this game pretty much, no kidding um so on on

1271
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:08,840
Speaker 1: the Rams side, I have a B grade on Matthew Stafford.

1272
01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:11,960
Speaker 1: Even though Cousins torched the pack last week, they'd only

1273
01:08:11,960 --> 01:08:15,040
Speaker 1: allowed three passing touchdowns in the previous five weeks combined

1274
01:08:15,680 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 1: and an average of two hundred eight passing yards per

1275
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:23,639
Speaker 1: game during that stretch. Also, Stafford and the Rams offense

1276
01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:25,840
Speaker 1: hasn't looked good in the last two weeks. It's looked off.

1277
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:28,360
Speaker 1: Something's been off the bye week. No, Robert Wood is

1278
01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:30,120
Speaker 1: certainly a far part of that. Don't you think you

1279
01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 1: can't just go, hey, Odell Beckham, go be Robert Woods. No,

1280
01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 1: he's not that guy. So I have a B grade

1281
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:42,800
Speaker 1: on Stafford because his worst game this year's two three

1282
01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:44,840
Speaker 1: yards in a score, which, like, if that's his floor,

1283
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:46,760
Speaker 1: then I'm still going to give him a B and

1284
01:08:46,880 --> 01:08:49,920
Speaker 1: hope that that offense turns around. Uh, Cooper Cup is

1285
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:51,680
Speaker 1: an obvious A. I don't think we need to talk

1286
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:55,160
Speaker 1: to about him at all. Yeah, oh, b J and Jefferson.

1287
01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:59,439
Speaker 1: Here's where it gets interesting for me. But no, I agree.

1288
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:03,439
Speaker 1: Normally when people are teams are you know, have wide

1289
01:09:03,439 --> 01:09:06,120
Speaker 1: receivers that are gonna split them like you're gonna monopolize

1290
01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:08,280
Speaker 1: each other. I don't like you. This is the rare

1291
01:09:08,320 --> 01:09:11,600
Speaker 1: opportunity where I'm going C grade on both, but I

1292
01:09:11,720 --> 01:09:17,000
Speaker 1: know that one might fail. Yeah it's probably true. Yeah,

1293
01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:21,000
Speaker 1: somebody will probably have some success. Yes, but I do

1294
01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 1: that all the time. You can give multiple sees. Two

1295
01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:24,800
Speaker 1: guys on the same team. They have that potential, but

1296
01:09:24,880 --> 01:09:27,160
Speaker 1: doesn't mean they're both gonna produce it. I I do that.

1297
01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:29,200
Speaker 1: I do that, but I I believe in this one

1298
01:09:29,280 --> 01:09:32,600
Speaker 1: they actually have a pretty decent shot shot because a

1299
01:09:32,720 --> 01:09:35,040
Speaker 1: lot of times the number two receiver in this offense,

1300
01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:37,559
Speaker 1: who was usually Robert Woods, but sometimes it was Van Jefferson,

1301
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 1: and in past it was you know, Brandon Cooks, the

1302
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:42,880
Speaker 1: number two receiver performs in this offense, and it's gonna

1303
01:09:42,920 --> 01:09:45,000
Speaker 1: be one of those two guys. So I think one

1304
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:47,160
Speaker 1: of these guys that's going to perform on a B level,

1305
01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:49,639
Speaker 1: and I think the others can perform on a C level.

1306
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:53,200
Speaker 1: I just don't know which one is which because we

1307
01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:57,840
Speaker 1: don't know's role at all. We just have no up.

1308
01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:00,680
Speaker 1: He hasn't top to eighty one yards in two years, right,

1309
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:03,519
Speaker 1: I think I don't. I don't think O b J

1310
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:06,800
Speaker 1: is ready for it yet. Yeah, he's he's had like

1311
01:10:07,160 --> 01:10:12,840
Speaker 1: Freddie Kitchen's level coordinators, not Sean McVeigh. That is a factor.

1312
01:10:12,920 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 1: But Stefanski's no slouch. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, and this

1313
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:21,479
Speaker 1: is the best quarterbacking he's had ever. Yeah. Uh, Henderson,

1314
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:24,360
Speaker 1: I'm giving a C grade to just we We've already

1315
01:10:24,439 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 1: talked on this show exhaustively how he's been the last

1316
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:30,960
Speaker 1: couple of weeks and that's why he's I would normally

1317
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:32,559
Speaker 1: give him a BE but the last couple of weeks

1318
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:34,679
Speaker 1: have been that way, and I could see them falling

1319
01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:37,680
Speaker 1: behind behind, and it could be it could be a

1320
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:40,240
Speaker 1: replay of the last two weeks. Michelle still in nine

1321
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:42,560
Speaker 1: touches per game over the last three. That's why he

1322
01:10:42,560 --> 01:10:44,040
Speaker 1: gets to see you. For me, he's going to get

1323
01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:46,600
Speaker 1: the volume. But maybe maybe it's another game like the

1324
01:10:46,680 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. Rogers, on the other side, I

1325
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:52,320
Speaker 1: have a B grade for after that one week one

1326
01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 1: to bacle against the Saints. Rogers has thrown multiple touchdowns

1327
01:10:56,240 --> 01:10:58,280
Speaker 1: in all but one game. That game, he's still a

1328
01:10:58,360 --> 01:11:00,519
Speaker 1: two or nine two yards. That's a good game game. Yeah,

1329
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:03,360
Speaker 1: in a tough spot against the Rams of just allowed

1330
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:06,519
Speaker 1: three multiple score games and just to three plus yard

1331
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:10,000
Speaker 1: days this season. I'm only giving Rogers the B instead

1332
01:11:10,040 --> 01:11:12,920
Speaker 1: of an A because his ceiling remains just through the

1333
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:15,519
Speaker 1: roof when he's on, he's on. Yeah, this is this

1334
01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:18,400
Speaker 1: is so tricky with Rogers no no left, no left

1335
01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:21,360
Speaker 1: in practice and von Miller coming at you from that

1336
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:24,240
Speaker 1: same spot. And finally von Miller has got some like

1337
01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:27,559
Speaker 1: he wasn't greatest first game, right, but he's had two

1338
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 1: weeks to get healthy. As a big part of it,

1339
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:36,120
Speaker 1: I'm nervous of. I think Rogers has Brady big downside

1340
01:11:36,200 --> 01:11:38,960
Speaker 1: in this always has upside. The only two quarterbacks on

1341
01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:42,400
Speaker 1: Rogers level that played the Rams. Tom Brady and Kyler

1342
01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:45,280
Speaker 1: Murray had seven hundred total yards and four scores against

1343
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:48,800
Speaker 1: the Rams. So they performed to Davante Adams like Cooper

1344
01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:53,879
Speaker 1: Cup is just an obviously you're not shadowing him virtually

1345
01:11:53,920 --> 01:11:56,280
Speaker 1: all game. Yeah, they can double him and I'd still

1346
01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:58,720
Speaker 1: trust Davanta Adams to get red zone targets that might

1347
01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:02,920
Speaker 1: score touchdowns. I do have ENVS on the bench, though,

1348
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:06,400
Speaker 1: I I it's just too tough of a matchup. Uh

1349
01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:09,400
Speaker 1: And if Lazard comes, Lazard comes back, which it sounds

1350
01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:12,559
Speaker 1: like he will, MVS pops off when Lazard is out,

1351
01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:15,720
Speaker 1: he quiets down when Lizard is in. They spread it

1352
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:18,720
Speaker 1: around a little too much. So I have MVS on

1353
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:23,599
Speaker 1: the bench. A J. Dillon and Aaron Green. Aaron Green, Wow,

1354
01:12:23,680 --> 01:12:28,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones, that's a flashbacker right there. Um, Aaron Jones,

1355
01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:31,960
Speaker 1: this is a really tough one. Aaron Jones has practiced

1356
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:37,519
Speaker 1: the Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, but a lot of injury experts,

1357
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:41,040
Speaker 1: including Stefani Bells, have said the Green Bay Packers are

1358
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:46,120
Speaker 1: notorious for being very conservative, and they've got the bye week. Come,

1359
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:48,360
Speaker 1: They've got a bye week. The only way Aaron Jones

1360
01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:54,200
Speaker 1: plays is if he's at or near one. And that's

1361
01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:57,439
Speaker 1: exactly where my mind the looming bye week, there's no

1362
01:12:57,560 --> 01:12:59,479
Speaker 1: way they play him unless he's almost full health. That

1363
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:03,799
Speaker 1: I think you we're of same mind here. That's exactly

1364
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:06,240
Speaker 1: what I was gonna say. So my belief is he

1365
01:13:06,439 --> 01:13:09,479
Speaker 1: is out. So I am giving A J. Dylon the

1366
01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:13,920
Speaker 1: B grade here. Uh. Neither Wilson nor Mitchell were very

1367
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:17,519
Speaker 1: effective in von Miller's first game with the Rams, but

1368
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:20,720
Speaker 1: Mitchell had an okay day due to huge volume. This

1369
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:23,880
Speaker 1: is where Dylan stands out from those guys. Where Dylan

1370
01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:26,040
Speaker 1: stands out from those guys is he gets receiving work

1371
01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:28,680
Speaker 1: those guys didn't at all. A J. Dylon had six

1372
01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:31,880
Speaker 1: catches in his in his full game there, six forty

1373
01:13:31,960 --> 01:13:34,920
Speaker 1: four yards um. He's basically a lock for six team

1374
01:13:34,920 --> 01:13:39,560
Speaker 1: plus touches. Uh. Backs without receiving workload and touches have

1375
01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:43,439
Speaker 1: done fairly decently, So B grade on A J. Dylon. Yeah,

1376
01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:47,080
Speaker 1: you know, Dylan looked okay last week, but as we

1377
01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:49,960
Speaker 1: talked going into last week's game, it's the receiving work

1378
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:52,240
Speaker 1: that's gonna keep him safe. It's mostly the catches. I

1379
01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:54,799
Speaker 1: feel like Aaron Jones is a much more effective receiver.

1380
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:58,880
Speaker 1: But for sure he's a very natural dy. Dylan can catch,

1381
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:05,040
Speaker 1: but Owns is just it's so fluid with he's meant

1382
01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:07,400
Speaker 1: to catch the ball. Well. When we come back, Premature

1383
01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:09,400
Speaker 1: Speculation will give you three players to pick up this

1384
01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:11,600
Speaker 1: week that everybody else is going to be trying to

1385
01:14:11,640 --> 01:14:16,000
Speaker 1: pick up next week. And Chargers taking on the Broncos

1386
01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:18,720
Speaker 1: will tell you what to expect from Justin Herbert and

1387
01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:21,080
Speaker 1: that passing game. Can Mike Williams make it two in

1388
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:23,400
Speaker 1: a row? All that and more for the final segment

1389
01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:43,639
Speaker 1: of Fantasy Football Weekly Coming up next. Welcome in final

1390
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:46,599
Speaker 1: segment of Fantasy Football Weekly, Paul church In, Scott Fish,

1391
01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:49,280
Speaker 1: and Brian Johnson with you. You missed any part of

1394
01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:59,840
Speaker 1: we like to call premature Speculation, where we give you

1395
01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:03,040
Speaker 1: three players you want to pick up now that your

1396
01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:06,160
Speaker 1: opponents will be trying to pick up next week. Scott Fish,

1397
01:15:06,200 --> 01:15:08,880
Speaker 1: who you got? As always? I sometimes I really like

1398
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:11,439
Speaker 1: to go deeper on this segment because because I feel

1399
01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:13,679
Speaker 1: there are people in deep leagues. This guy is available

1400
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:18,560
Speaker 1: in nine percent of leagues of the snap snaps the

1401
01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:21,640
Speaker 1: last three weeks. Second in targets over the last three

1402
01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:25,680
Speaker 1: weeks on his team, DeAndre Carter. He's got touchdowns in

1403
01:15:25,760 --> 01:15:28,519
Speaker 1: three straight weeks. And get this, since week four, he

1404
01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:31,719
Speaker 1: leads the Washington football team into in red zone targets.

1405
01:15:32,400 --> 01:15:35,679
Speaker 1: All Right, the they have said, the Bears have said,

1406
01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:38,840
Speaker 1: Heineke and him have a great rapport. Curtis Samuel is

1407
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:41,719
Speaker 1: likely still out. He's only put in two limited practices

1408
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:45,160
Speaker 1: since the ree aggravation of his injury. It's and here's

1409
01:15:45,200 --> 01:15:47,200
Speaker 1: the thing. They play Monday night. If he blows up

1410
01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:49,439
Speaker 1: on Monday night, you already got him. Yeah, I like

1411
01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:53,679
Speaker 1: it perfect. Uh, you know what I'm gonna go next,

1412
01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:56,960
Speaker 1: because I'm just gonna piggyback off another Washington player. Alright,

1413
01:15:57,040 --> 01:15:59,840
Speaker 1: Logan Thomas Brian had mentioned him a couple of weeks,

1414
01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:01,960
Speaker 1: but he's finally getting to the point where he's ready

1415
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:04,320
Speaker 1: to play at this stage. Although he may not go

1416
01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:06,439
Speaker 1: in this game, but I don't. This game has no

1417
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:09,920
Speaker 1: no bearing on on this. I'm looking forward beyond this week.

1418
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:12,800
Speaker 1: We all need tight ends. Remember, in his three full

1419
01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:15,040
Speaker 1: games this year, he scored twice. He's according two of

1420
01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:17,200
Speaker 1: the three games, and he was very good last year.

1421
01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:21,439
Speaker 1: Washington desperately needs more receiving options, although you just mentioned

1422
01:16:21,960 --> 01:16:26,479
Speaker 1: um that there there are well um in his stead

1423
01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:30,000
Speaker 1: Ricky Seals Jones was freaking viable for fantasy and he's

1424
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:32,760
Speaker 1: a fract He's framctionally as good as Logan Thomas. So

1425
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:38,840
Speaker 1: Logan Thomas is Mike would fifth. I think it's it's

1426
01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:47,200
Speaker 1: seven sixteen, Brian, you're taking Sorry, you're premature speculation player.

1427
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:48,599
Speaker 1: I think you had people on the edge of their

1428
01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:51,200
Speaker 1: seats when you're said you can use the Washington player

1429
01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:54,479
Speaker 1: and they're like st Beard And then it wasn't I

1430
01:16:54,560 --> 01:16:57,040
Speaker 1: thought he was coming back anytime soon. They keep pushing

1431
01:16:57,080 --> 01:17:00,280
Speaker 1: his timetable back. Well, speaking of a guy come back,

1432
01:17:00,439 --> 01:17:02,560
Speaker 1: probably not this week. And when he comes back, I

1433
01:17:02,640 --> 01:17:05,120
Speaker 1: can't promise you he's gonna stay healthy. And that's Miami

1434
01:17:05,240 --> 01:17:09,439
Speaker 1: wide out Davante Parker uh most likely coming back next week.

1435
01:17:09,520 --> 01:17:11,920
Speaker 1: You can grab him now. According to Fantasy Pros, the

1436
01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:15,879
Speaker 1: Dolphins have the easiest remaining strength of schedule among wide receivers,

1437
01:17:15,920 --> 01:17:18,960
Speaker 1: So if you're needy at the position, Davante Parker charges

1438
01:17:19,040 --> 01:17:22,720
Speaker 1: take on the Broncos. Brian Uh, we already know what

1439
01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:24,439
Speaker 1: we're gonna do with Austin Ekeler. There's a lot more

1440
01:17:24,479 --> 01:17:26,920
Speaker 1: intrigue in the passing game here. Talk to me about

1441
01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:29,720
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, and I'm especially interested in in whether or

1442
01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:32,360
Speaker 1: not we can get a good game out of Boom

1443
01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:35,280
Speaker 1: or Bust guy. Mike Williams. Yeah, this is the first

1444
01:17:35,360 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 1: meeting of the year between these divisional rivals, so we

1445
01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:41,800
Speaker 1: can go back to recent history. But in Herbert's last

1446
01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:44,040
Speaker 1: or bone trip to Denver last year, he threw for

1447
01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:47,599
Speaker 1: two state two eight yards and three touchdowns. So air

1448
01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:50,479
Speaker 1: Bear can handle the thin air. The Broncos have rendered

1449
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:53,080
Speaker 1: multiple passing touchdowns and four of their last six games,

1450
01:17:53,160 --> 01:17:56,320
Speaker 1: only Taylor Heineke in case Keenum failed to hit the

1451
01:17:56,560 --> 01:17:59,400
Speaker 1: multiple touchdown mark, but they each had one, and the

1452
01:17:59,479 --> 01:18:02,920
Speaker 1: Chargers are likely or they are the most high octane

1453
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 1: offense UH Denver has seen during that same time Spanzo

1454
01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:09,439
Speaker 1: and A for air Bear, uh A A for Keenan Allen.

1455
01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:12,080
Speaker 1: Per next Agen stats, Alan is ranked among the top

1456
01:18:12,200 --> 01:18:14,920
Speaker 1: fifteen pass catchers and percentage of his team's air yards

1457
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:17,600
Speaker 1: over the last three weeks. That pairs nicely with the

1458
01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:20,519
Speaker 1: fact that Denver gives up the third highest average depth

1459
01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:23,360
Speaker 1: of target at nine point three yards. Alan has also

1460
01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:26,040
Speaker 1: scored in his last two games at Mile High or

1461
01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:28,559
Speaker 1: whatever they call it now like Corpo dot Com at

1462
01:18:28,600 --> 01:18:31,280
Speaker 1: Mile High Stadium. But E d A for Alan uh,

1463
01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:33,080
Speaker 1: not an A for Mike Williams. I gonna give him

1464
01:18:33,120 --> 01:18:36,160
Speaker 1: a b Denver has allowed six wide receiver touchdowns over

1465
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:39,519
Speaker 1: their last five games. Williams has averaged five catches and

1466
01:18:39,600 --> 01:18:43,080
Speaker 1: eighty six yards over his last four games against the Broncos.

1467
01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:45,680
Speaker 1: So I like Williams and this one you're don't you know,

1468
01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:48,040
Speaker 1: you're a lot. You're You feel a lot more confident

1469
01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:50,759
Speaker 1: about Williams than I do or anybody else who started

1470
01:18:50,840 --> 01:18:52,840
Speaker 1: him for the last six weeks. I do. I like

1471
01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 1: him this one. That's why I gave him to be

1472
01:18:54,200 --> 01:18:55,960
Speaker 1: And I don't like Jared Cook. He's on the bench.

1473
01:18:56,320 --> 01:18:58,360
Speaker 1: Denver is not allowed tight in touchdown all year, so

1474
01:18:58,439 --> 01:19:00,479
Speaker 1: that's pretty easy bench. Great for him, in an easy

1475
01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:02,760
Speaker 1: A for Austin Ekeler over the last Over their last

1476
01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:05,639
Speaker 1: seven games, Denver is allowing hundred and sixty two combo

1477
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown per game to opposing running backs,

1478
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:11,439
Speaker 1: and that has been to the incomparable likes of Ernest Johnson,

1479
01:19:11,640 --> 01:19:15,160
Speaker 1: J D. Mkissick, Kenyan Drake, and Boston Scott and by

1480
01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:17,879
Speaker 1: saying that you can't compare those guys to Austin Ekeler

1481
01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:21,040
Speaker 1: of course, over to the Denver side. And this Denver

1482
01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:25,440
Speaker 1: side is fascinating because what felt like a massive opportunity

1483
01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:28,080
Speaker 1: for the running backs gets blunted a little bit by

1484
01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:31,480
Speaker 1: the loss of both of the starting tackles for the Broncos.

1485
01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:33,080
Speaker 1: And so when I went into the week, I'm like,

1486
01:19:33,400 --> 01:19:36,679
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon and Vante Williams are sitting on giant games.

1487
01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:38,880
Speaker 1: Now I'm not so sure. What do you think? Yeah,

1488
01:19:38,920 --> 01:19:40,360
Speaker 1: I had to. I had bees for both of them

1489
01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:42,400
Speaker 1: based on both tackles being out. Like you just said,

1490
01:19:42,439 --> 01:19:44,920
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna give each a sea. The Chargers are

1491
01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:47,840
Speaker 1: yielding thirty touches per game to opposing running backs who

1492
01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:50,080
Speaker 1: are averaging a hundred forty five compo yards and one

1493
01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:53,320
Speaker 1: and a half total touchdowns per game. Uh So, just

1494
01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:55,479
Speaker 1: to see if you're both it is revenge game from

1495
01:19:55,479 --> 01:19:58,760
Speaker 1: Melvin Gordon. Javante Williams on a per touch basis has

1496
01:19:58,800 --> 01:20:00,680
Speaker 1: been out of this world like the best running back

1497
01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:02,479
Speaker 1: in the NFL. But the problem is Gordon gets a

1498
01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:04,320
Speaker 1: lot of the touches, but uh, and in fair as

1499
01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:07,000
Speaker 1: much as I want Davonte Willing to just earn and

1500
01:20:07,160 --> 01:20:09,920
Speaker 1: keep that job and just be the starter, Melvin Gordon's

1501
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:12,000
Speaker 1: look good. Yeah, I mean if he was not bad,

1502
01:20:12,120 --> 01:20:14,920
Speaker 1: but yeah, he's He's looked good, but not as good

1503
01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:17,519
Speaker 1: as Williams, who's looked awesome. But he's looked I don't

1504
01:20:17,640 --> 01:20:19,760
Speaker 1: not so bad that there's any reason to bench Gordon.

1505
01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:22,320
Speaker 1: Williams will have his day as a bell cow someday,

1506
01:20:22,320 --> 01:20:27,120
Speaker 1: but it's probably not gonna be for the to the

1507
01:20:27,160 --> 01:20:30,400
Speaker 1: wide receivers for the Broncos, Jerry Judy, just to see

1508
01:20:30,479 --> 01:20:32,360
Speaker 1: for him, he will draw a tough coverage from slot

1509
01:20:32,439 --> 01:20:35,519
Speaker 1: corner Chris Harris. Judy is the top option at wide receiver,

1510
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:37,719
Speaker 1: but this is a better matchup for the Broncos boundary

1511
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:41,160
Speaker 1: receivers actually, Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick. Over the last

1512
01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:44,120
Speaker 1: three weeks, DeVonta Smith, Justin Jefferson and Deonte Johnson, ever

1513
01:20:44,200 --> 01:20:47,160
Speaker 1: combined to average seven catches on nineteen yards and point

1514
01:20:47,280 --> 01:20:50,400
Speaker 1: seven touchdowns against the Chargers, who could also be without

1515
01:20:50,439 --> 01:20:54,160
Speaker 1: Assante Samuel who's concussed last week. UM not a lot

1516
01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:58,000
Speaker 1: of history to to base uh on for Sutton Patrick.

1517
01:20:58,040 --> 01:21:00,639
Speaker 1: These two combined for just one game into the Chargers

1518
01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:03,080
Speaker 1: last year. Patrick had three catches for three nine yards.

1519
01:21:03,720 --> 01:21:05,439
Speaker 1: But just to see still for both of those guys,

1520
01:21:05,479 --> 01:21:08,519
Speaker 1: I think they might vulture each other. B for Noah Fan. Though,

1521
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:11,240
Speaker 1: the Chargers have been bleeding points to the tight end position,

1522
01:21:11,280 --> 01:21:13,880
Speaker 1: allowing these second most fantasy points, the fifth most red

1523
01:21:13,960 --> 01:21:16,720
Speaker 1: zone targets, and the second most touchdowns at eight uh.

1524
01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:18,960
Speaker 1: Four of those eight touchdowns have come over the last

1525
01:21:19,000 --> 01:21:21,880
Speaker 1: two weeks from opposing tight ends against the Chargers. So

1526
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:24,320
Speaker 1: I like Fans who, in his two games against the

1527
01:21:24,400 --> 01:21:26,840
Speaker 1: Chargers last year average six and a half catches and

1528
01:21:26,960 --> 01:21:31,000
Speaker 1: fifty six yards. And now to Teddy b uh not

1529
01:21:31,160 --> 01:21:33,479
Speaker 1: even Teddy c I've got him on the bench. Even

1530
01:21:33,520 --> 01:21:36,000
Speaker 1: though I gave all his past catchers a starting grade,

1531
01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:38,280
Speaker 1: doesn't mean they're all gonna earn that starting grade. Uh.

1532
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:40,840
Speaker 1: It's and with the with the beat up line as well,

1533
01:21:41,040 --> 01:21:42,639
Speaker 1: I still think they lean on the run a little

1534
01:21:42,680 --> 01:21:44,360
Speaker 1: more on this one. So you can find better options

1535
01:21:44,400 --> 01:21:48,719
Speaker 1: with quarterback than Teddy. I concur final segment. The final

1536
01:21:48,800 --> 01:21:53,040
Speaker 1: matchup is the Seahawks taking on Washington. So let's let's

1537
01:21:53,080 --> 01:21:57,360
Speaker 1: begin with Let's begin with Russ. We already hammered Russ

1538
01:21:57,400 --> 01:22:00,360
Speaker 1: pretty good earlier in this show, but this matchups very,

1539
01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:04,280
Speaker 1: very tempting to call a slumpbuster. It's uh. It goes

1540
01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:07,400
Speaker 1: watching the ranks and passing yards allowed thirty first and

1541
01:22:07,439 --> 01:22:13,000
Speaker 1: passing touchdowns allowed, and they just let legendarily inaccurate passer

1542
01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:18,160
Speaker 1: Cam Newton throw a six in incompletion game. That is

1543
01:22:18,360 --> 01:22:21,799
Speaker 1: not cool. So I've gotta be grade on Russell Wilson.

1544
01:22:21,880 --> 01:22:24,240
Speaker 1: I think he's obviously startable in this matchup, and this

1545
01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:26,840
Speaker 1: might be it for the year. Uh. Dk Metcalf, also

1546
01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:29,920
Speaker 1: with a B grade, is has only fifty seven total

1547
01:22:30,080 --> 01:22:32,800
Speaker 1: yards in the two games since Russell Wilson came back

1548
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:36,360
Speaker 1: from that finger injury, really injury. Fortunately, Washington allowing one

1549
01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:39,519
Speaker 1: ninety yards to opposing receivers that is fourth most, and

1550
01:22:39,560 --> 01:22:42,080
Speaker 1: they've allowed a receiver to score in nine of ten games.

1551
01:22:42,160 --> 01:22:43,640
Speaker 1: And if there's a touchdown to be had from a

1552
01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:47,200
Speaker 1: receiver here, dk Metcalf is likely the guy title lock it,

1553
01:22:47,320 --> 01:22:49,080
Speaker 1: just the C grade, you know, you know the story

1554
01:22:49,160 --> 01:22:51,280
Speaker 1: unlock it. It's all bloomber bust, And obviously he's got

1555
01:22:51,360 --> 01:22:55,160
Speaker 1: boom capability against a bad secondary um but they aren't

1556
01:22:55,160 --> 01:22:59,000
Speaker 1: giving him necessarily explosive games like the kind lock it

1557
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:02,360
Speaker 1: usually needs. So you know the drill, plenty of risk,

1558
01:23:02,479 --> 01:23:04,760
Speaker 1: plenty of reward. Um, I've just got the C grade

1559
01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:06,800
Speaker 1: unlock it, and I think there's more likely to bust

1560
01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:09,559
Speaker 1: than boom and the whole running games on the bench,

1561
01:23:09,640 --> 01:23:13,040
Speaker 1: these guys have been a disaster. Alex Collins, despite double

1562
01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:17,400
Speaker 1: digit carries in seven straight games, has only topped the

1563
01:23:17,520 --> 01:23:22,400
Speaker 1: meager threshold of forty seven yards one time, and he's

1564
01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:25,759
Speaker 1: scored just twice in those seven games. And Washington's actually

1565
01:23:25,800 --> 01:23:27,680
Speaker 1: turned into a very good run defense. For all the

1566
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:29,639
Speaker 1: problems we've got against the past, nothing against the run.

1567
01:23:29,800 --> 01:23:32,360
Speaker 1: Their fourth in rushing yards allowed over their last three

1568
01:23:32,439 --> 01:23:35,720
Speaker 1: games and only one rushing scoring that time. On Only

1569
01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:39,200
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara has topped sixty two rushing yards against them.

1570
01:23:40,160 --> 01:23:45,200
Speaker 1: On the Washington side, let's credit Taylor Heineke for playing

1571
01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:47,400
Speaker 1: very well over the last two games. I thought three

1572
01:23:47,479 --> 01:23:50,799
Speaker 1: games ago, I'm like they were talking about benching Taylor Heineke.

1573
01:23:51,240 --> 01:23:54,040
Speaker 1: Now he's played well these last two games, seventy seven

1574
01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:58,800
Speaker 1: percent completion rate, four touchdowns and no picks over the

1575
01:23:58,920 --> 01:24:02,400
Speaker 1: last two games. Still he's still like makes some crazy

1576
01:24:02,880 --> 01:24:06,320
Speaker 1: bone headed overthrows and mistakes with the ball, but didn't

1577
01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:08,360
Speaker 1: didn't cost him the last two games we know he

1578
01:24:08,439 --> 01:24:11,800
Speaker 1: didn't both wins. Even more impressively, he's done so against

1579
01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:14,320
Speaker 1: two solid defenses, Tampa and Carolina, and he faces an

1580
01:24:14,360 --> 01:24:19,400
Speaker 1: improved Seattle secondary that's playing very well. Well until yielding

1581
01:24:19,439 --> 01:24:22,559
Speaker 1: to Colt McCoy last week, they had been playing well.

1582
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:25,519
Speaker 1: Even if you include McCoy's performance last week. The average

1583
01:24:25,520 --> 01:24:28,800
Speaker 1: passing game against Seattle over the past five weeks is

1584
01:24:28,880 --> 01:24:31,000
Speaker 1: a modest two D sixty one yards and just one

1585
01:24:31,080 --> 01:24:34,280
Speaker 1: touchdown past per game. So I like Heinekee here with

1586
01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:37,960
Speaker 1: a C grade. Terry McLaurin gets a C grade as well.

1587
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:40,960
Speaker 1: It's been a roller coaster ride all year, with over

1588
01:24:41,080 --> 01:24:43,680
Speaker 1: one hundred yards and a touchdown in four games and

1589
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:46,840
Speaker 1: sixty two or fewer scoreless yards in the other six.

1590
01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:50,240
Speaker 1: I know that's the that's the risk reward you get

1591
01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:52,840
Speaker 1: out of Terry McLaurin, which I don't I don't know

1592
01:24:52,880 --> 01:24:55,200
Speaker 1: about you, Scott. I didn't necessarily expect that for him

1593
01:24:55,240 --> 01:24:58,400
Speaker 1: because previously he had always been a very safe play.

1594
01:24:59,040 --> 01:25:00,960
Speaker 1: What do you think this week you go and boom

1595
01:25:01,040 --> 01:25:03,320
Speaker 1: or bust. No, I'd be more on the boom side.

1596
01:25:04,120 --> 01:25:05,799
Speaker 1: I think that's going to be more of a shootout

1597
01:25:05,840 --> 01:25:09,000
Speaker 1: than than people think. Um, what will you give? What

1598
01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:11,679
Speaker 1: will you give DeAndre Carter for this game? How about

1599
01:25:11,720 --> 01:25:14,439
Speaker 1: a see? I don't think i'd even give. I would

1600
01:25:14,479 --> 01:25:17,080
Speaker 1: have tough time even doing that. But my point on

1601
01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:20,040
Speaker 1: that is like, if people watch him on Monday Night,

1602
01:25:20,040 --> 01:25:21,880
Speaker 1: they're going to realize he exists, and that would be

1603
01:25:21,960 --> 01:25:24,120
Speaker 1: his fourth straight game with the touchdown. If he scores.

1604
01:25:24,479 --> 01:25:26,679
Speaker 1: It's tough to trust him though. I don't have him starting,

1605
01:25:26,760 --> 01:25:28,800
Speaker 1: But okay, they gave him on the I had a

1606
01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:30,639
Speaker 1: bench grade. But you know, but you kind of talked

1607
01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:32,960
Speaker 1: me into it during premature speculation. So I wanted to

1608
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:35,760
Speaker 1: give you the chance. Um J D. McKissick, was manna

1609
01:25:35,760 --> 01:25:37,400
Speaker 1: take a chance of me running back? Let's talk about

1610
01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:42,000
Speaker 1: Antonio Gibson. In two games since Washington's by both upset victories,

1611
01:25:42,320 --> 01:25:45,840
Speaker 1: how Gibson's handled at least nineteen touches and total at

1612
01:25:45,920 --> 01:25:49,320
Speaker 1: least seventy eight yards, and most encouragingly, He's handled both

1613
01:25:49,360 --> 01:25:51,960
Speaker 1: of Washington's carries inside the tent seven of the eight

1614
01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:54,760
Speaker 1: rushing touchdown Seattle has allowed to come from inside the tent,

1615
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:56,639
Speaker 1: and if there's a touchdown to we had from inside

1616
01:25:56,640 --> 01:25:58,840
Speaker 1: the tent, it probably goes to Gibson. So a B

1617
01:25:59,080 --> 01:26:02,120
Speaker 1: grade for Gibson in this game, Logan Thomas, we're gonna

1618
01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:03,840
Speaker 1: keep on the bench until we know for sure that

1619
01:26:03,880 --> 01:26:05,360
Speaker 1: he's a go. And it's a Monday night game. You're

1620
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:07,240
Speaker 1: not gonna know until Monday night, so we can't start him.

1621
01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:11,160
Speaker 1: Um alright, final few moments of this show. Let me

1622
01:26:11,240 --> 01:26:13,360
Speaker 1: hit you guys with a couple of a couple of topics.

1623
01:26:13,880 --> 01:26:17,360
Speaker 1: Can we just straight up drop Zack Moss? Yeah? I

1624
01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:19,960
Speaker 1: think so, Yeah, I don't. I don't love that situation

1625
01:26:20,040 --> 01:26:22,920
Speaker 1: at all. The coaches have indicated they want to get

1626
01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:24,880
Speaker 1: bread of more work, and when they did, he still

1627
01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:26,720
Speaker 1: looks good. But it's enough of us split that you

1628
01:26:26,760 --> 01:26:29,639
Speaker 1: don't love starting either Moss or Singletary. But if he's

1629
01:26:29,680 --> 01:26:32,320
Speaker 1: back in this he's he's back to all four paws,

1630
01:26:32,439 --> 01:26:34,840
Speaker 1: back into the dog house. He's back. He's deep in

1631
01:26:34,920 --> 01:26:37,840
Speaker 1: the doghouse after being inactive on third I'm holding him,

1632
01:26:38,080 --> 01:26:40,360
Speaker 1: you know, if I'm not competing in a Dynasty League

1633
01:26:40,360 --> 01:26:42,960
Speaker 1: and just praying for next year, but in redraft, absolutely,

1634
01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:45,240
Speaker 1: here's why. Here's why. I'm not even holding him in

1635
01:26:45,320 --> 01:26:50,040
Speaker 1: a dynasty league with running backs within two years. For

1636
01:26:50,160 --> 01:26:52,439
Speaker 1: running backs, if you know in two years what you got,

1637
01:26:52,920 --> 01:26:54,960
Speaker 1: some guys the rookie or doesn't pan out, and then

1638
01:26:55,120 --> 01:26:57,960
Speaker 1: the second year it does. If you don't do it

1639
01:26:58,040 --> 01:26:59,400
Speaker 1: in two years, you're not going to do it as

1640
01:26:59,439 --> 01:27:01,479
Speaker 1: a running back in this league. I didn't say I wouldn't.

1641
01:27:01,800 --> 01:27:04,160
Speaker 1: I'd hold him through the draft next year, the draft,

1642
01:27:04,200 --> 01:27:06,280
Speaker 1: and I'm holding him until at least through the off season.

1643
01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:07,600
Speaker 1: I don't think you start able at the end of

1644
01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:09,840
Speaker 1: the year. And honestly, this feels like they keep just

1645
01:27:10,000 --> 01:27:12,000
Speaker 1: throwing stuff out there to try to figure out the

1646
01:27:12,040 --> 01:27:14,320
Speaker 1: run game within what's already a good offense. They just

1647
01:27:14,439 --> 01:27:16,479
Speaker 1: need the run game. I think they draft or go

1648
01:27:16,479 --> 01:27:18,240
Speaker 1: out and get someone. I think they draft somebody too.

1649
01:27:18,360 --> 01:27:21,439
Speaker 1: If Devin Singletary can average five yards per carry and

1650
01:27:21,680 --> 01:27:24,920
Speaker 1: Zack Moss is three and a half, watch watch the

1651
01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:29,240
Speaker 1: Melvin Burns contract up. But uh, Darren Waller is gonna

1652
01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:32,280
Speaker 1: miss some period of time. As as we're recording this,

1653
01:27:32,400 --> 01:27:35,240
Speaker 1: we don't know exactly how long is Foster Moreau and

1654
01:27:35,320 --> 01:27:39,280
Speaker 1: automatic ad definitely, I mean he's proven when Waller has

1655
01:27:39,320 --> 01:27:41,560
Speaker 1: been out. Moreau has put up big numbers in a

1656
01:27:41,760 --> 01:27:43,960
Speaker 1: tight ends. A big part of that offense that is

1657
01:27:44,360 --> 01:27:47,920
Speaker 1: missing pass catchers. I gotta throw out real quickly. Brian

1658
01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:51,280
Speaker 1: Edwards just getting dunked on by Za Jones and Seawan Jackson.

1659
01:27:51,680 --> 01:27:55,360
Speaker 1: How about that is killing me? Killing me? Yes? Add

1660
01:27:55,439 --> 01:27:59,120
Speaker 1: Boston Moreau as Foster. Moreau is the best backup tight

1661
01:27:59,320 --> 01:28:02,719
Speaker 1: end in the league by talent, and he's a beast.

1662
01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:05,439
Speaker 1: He is huge, by the way, So yeah, I think

1663
01:28:05,640 --> 01:28:08,280
