H and we're 0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.640 excited to see what you've got on taps. Over the 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:05.280 course of the show, we'll have three tough questions like 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:07.240 we always do. We'll give you nine players upon whom 0:01:07.280 --> 0:01:10.240 you can take a chance. We'll give you premature speculation 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:13.280 players to pick up, including at least I'm very excited 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:14.840 about my player. I think I know who you guys 0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:17.080 are going to go with two. These are some great opportunities. 0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:19.960 Hope to work in the Jamison Williams News if you 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:22.160 want to pick him up a week early, if you can. 0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:24.039 If you can, yeah, we'll find out if We'll talk 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:25.920 about that a little bit as well. So plenty to 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:27.680 get to over the course of the show. Of course, 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:31.600 we give you letter grades on every meaningful players. We 0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:35.360 break down every matchup. We begin with the London game. Yes, 0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:40.880 Falcons taking on the Jaguars. This is the Drake London 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:42.840 in London game. 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:49.640 There we go, Drake London in London and yes, yes, god, 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:52.160 yes we can start on that side of the ball 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:55.400 where I'm leaving Desmond Ritter on the bench. I'm sorry. 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:57.560 I know the Jags have a bottom ten pass thee 0:01:57.600 --> 0:01:59.280 and have a lot of multiple scores to all three 0:01:59.320 --> 0:02:04.680 quarterbacks they but they haven't played Desmond Ridder. This should 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:09.240 help improve their rank. This week, Ritter averaging like one 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.720 hundred and eighty four passing yards a game. He's not 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:14.560 doing too well. You weren't even considering. 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:16.880 Sneaky landing spot for Kirk Cousins, just. 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:19.840 Saying yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's the rumor out there 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.839 that you're pushing. No, no, it's actually there are lots 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.880 of other people saying that kind of stuff too. Drake London. 0:02:25.919 --> 0:02:28.320 I am given the C grade too though, because I 0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:30.680 want Drake London to score a touchdown in London. That's 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.800 most of most of my data there. No but top 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:37.840 wide receiver get target getters against the Jags have all 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:41.000 gone for seventy plus yards, all three of them scored. 0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:44.480 It's it's an okay spot for him. Giving him a 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:47.080 C grade though, just because it's a decent pesty it 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:51.440 has been so far anyway, the against wide receivers. I 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:54.720 should say Kyle Pitts also getting a C grade here. 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:56.840 I know you're looking at me like you should just 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:57.280 betch him. 0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:59.600 It's only because you had a good game in London 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:00.440 two years years ago. 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.400 Yeah he did, he did. He had nine FO one 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:05.440 hundred and nineteen yards and one touchdown two years ago 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:10.040 to London. Yeah, exactly, it was two years ago. Actually, 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:12.320 has nothing to do with that it has everything to 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:17.680 do with just the Titan landscape is absolutely garbage this year, 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:21.120 and he's he's probably the best tight end you have 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:26.320 on your roster. Every bit about it, about his metrics, 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:29.519 his talent, his usage, everything screams good. He got nine 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.480 targets last week. But guess what, he only fifty three 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.240 percent of his passes. The passes to him are catchable. 0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:38.800 Like if that, if Desmond improves just the slightest tick, 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:44.640 he should be able to notch down a C grade. 0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:48.320 I don't think you're wrong, Donald parum At least you 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.400 know he's tied for the league lead in red or 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:54.120 targets inside the five yard line. You have a decent 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:58.320 chance of a touchdown with Donald Parhum. Over on the 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:00.920 other side of the ball, we got Trevor Lawrence. I'm 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:04.040 giving him a D grade. Is that okay? Charge? 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:07.080 It's not okay? You have a here allow me to 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:09.680 read it, because yeah, he's a bad example. You have 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:12.840 a choice of a B, C and bench. That's the 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:17.440 more opportunities to place your guy in the right spot. 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:19.960 All right, are we put in Trevor Lawrence? 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:22.440 So Trevor Lawrence, he's playing a Falcons D That held 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:25.599 Jordan Love, Bryce Young and Jared Jared Goff each to 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:28.800 their worst passing days of the year. So it's not 0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:31.400 actually a great matchup. It's one of the lowest over 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.520 unders of the week. He's looked off, and he's looked 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:37.680 off so far, Trevor Lawrence has because it's such a 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:39.640 tough grade. I'm giving it the dart throw grade. 0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:43.800 That would be a seed timately, because you're saying, start 0:04:43.800 --> 0:04:44.160 a ball. 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:47.479 But he's startable, he's got he's got the weapons. I 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:50.440 think he can overcome. Unlike those. I consider him a 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:53.120 better quarterback than those. Maybe not golf, but you know, 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:56.400 better than Love and Bryce Young. I'll give him the grade. Fine, 0:04:56.400 --> 0:05:00.880 I'll bump in them. Travis Etn a grade. The Falcons 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:04.440 allowed ninety eight yards to Miles Sanders, eighty two to 0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:07.800 Jamior Gibbs, and even aj Dillon, Yes, twenty twenty three 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:11.000 A J. Dillon somehow had sixty three yards on them. 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:16.000 The only buggle boo is Falcons have only allowed an 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:20.000 RB to score once and just eight receptions. It's not 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:22.719 a lot of passing passing work, but Travis Etn gets 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.719 seventy two percent of the opportunity share about four pass 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:28.839 catches per game. That's gonna boost you up. I got 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:30.200 him with a B. I could move him up to 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:33.320 an A though, just because that volume is high and 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.320 it's going to be a low scoring close game where 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:37.440 he should get a decent amount of work. Tank Bigsby 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:39.800 on the bench. I know he's converted two of his 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:43.840 three carries inside the five yard line, but his snaps 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:47.320 keep going down, his touches keep going down. It's he's 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.760 just on the bench for now. Over to the passing 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:52.680 game or over to the wide receivers. Calvin Ridley and 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:59.239 Christian Kirk. I love that you got multiple tank. 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.359 Well, we have to put the bad tanks the bad 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:05.960 right and on. Unfortunately, the bad tank sounders winning right now. 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.440 Yeah. So with Zay Jones missing last week, he's also 0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:11.320 going to miss this week. Christian Kirk really bumped up 0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:14.400 his napshare. It was only sixty percent week one. It's 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:18.280 been it's been over eighty percent, eighty six percent the 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:21.159 last two weeks, and he's really delivered with an eleven 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.120 catch one hundred and ten yard performance and a four 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.640 catch fifty four yard and a touchdown performance. I expect 0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:30.400 much of the same here. I have Covin Ridley also 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:33.560 with a C grade. Two straight duds for Ridley, but 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:37.400 he dropped four passes last week. Dropped two passes. Drops 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:40.159 are not a sticky stat. He dropped what what should 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:44.640 have been a touchdown. Without those, he would have had much, much, 0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.159 much better days. It's he doesn't look like the guy 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:49.200 that he did in Week one and in the preseason. 0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:51.680 I expect him to at least bounce back a little bit, 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:53.800 so I'm at least giving him the season ricky. 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:55.840 Matchup with AJ Terrell's turning into one of the best 0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:56.880 cornerbacks in the league. 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.000 Yeah, when the Falcons drafted him that first year, they 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:03.719 avoided passing his way, and yeah, he's pretty decent. Evan 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.320 Ingram C grade. I think we gotta kind of watch 0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:08.520 him now. Five plus catches in all three games, forty 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:13.200 nine to fifty seven and sixty seven yards. He's going 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.960 into the week. Before last night or before Thursday night, 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:19.360 excuse me, he was right there with Laporta had eighteen 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:21.720 catches one hundred and eighty six yards, Ingram eighteen for 0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.160 one seventy three. They were right in the same zone. 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:27.720 The only problem is Evan Ingram zero red zone targets 0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:29.920 this year. That's not helpful at all. 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.680 Dallas Goddard, by the way, zero red zone. 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:36.320 I know it's weird, isn't It's just downright weird. So 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:37.000 Sea grade on. 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:40.600 Him, all right. Dolphins take on the Bills Store. Dolphins 0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:46.080 scored ten touchdowns last week and are underdogs in Buffalo. 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:49.240 So this is a quot. Now you're new to the show, 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:53.680 we don't chase last week's box score. You gotta just 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:56.040 we gotta look at this Dolphins Bills game as its 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.240 own entity. Let's start on the Dolphins side. What do 0:07:59.280 --> 0:07:59.560 you got? 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:01.680 I don't think they're scoring seventy again, but this is 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:04.240 a really good fantasy match hold, So we'll start with 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.880 two fantasy QB four so far this season. Number one 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:10.720 passing grade in the NFL. Number one big time throw 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:14.080 rate in the NFL. Solid matchup here. Bills have allowed 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.880 the tenth highest adjusted completion rate in the NFL. Last year, 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:21.280 the Bills allowed the second highest adjusted completion rate on 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:25.400 throws twenty plus yards downfield. Obviously, the Dolphins offense is explosive. 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:29.360 Tua is an a Tyreek kill. Obviously, a weekly must 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:32.679 start Tyreek kill. On pace for two thy three hundred 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:34.120 and thirty five receiver yards. 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.160 It's pretty good this year, pretty pretty good. 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:39.840 So he's obviously an A, as is Jalen Waddle Sterling 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:43.000 eighteen point one percent air yard share so far this 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:46.360 season three point zero four yards per route run. 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:48.560 That's excellent for Waddle. And last year, if. 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:51.360 You guys recall both games the Dolphins played the Bills, 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:55.280 Jalen Waddle went over one hundred receiving yards both times, so. 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:56.199 He's an A as well. 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.200 Julian Hill, the tight end the Dolphins have been using 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:03.000 the most, can't start him. The running back situation, of course, 0:09:03.120 --> 0:09:06.200 very interesting in Miami right now. I'm gonna give both 0:09:06.440 --> 0:09:10.319 mostart and eight Chan as we've learned as the pronunciation, 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:11.400 who apparently. 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:13.520 Has decided after every four touchdown game he's going to 0:09:13.640 --> 0:09:15.280 change the pronunciation of his name. 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:16.959 This is it then? 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:20.200 Yeah, yeah, this will probably be after the game he 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:21.800 just had. That's that's cool with me. 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.599 But you know, as for Most, obviously he's in the 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:28.040 time share with a Chan. Moster played fifty one percent 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.760 of the snaps last week. He is the team's clear 0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:34.239 pass down running back. Most are top five in explosive 0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:38.160 run rate, top ten in miss tackles, force per attempt excellent. 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:40.800 I'm giving him a beat, especially in this matchup where 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.040 and you guys know how topical this is going to be. 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:46.120 The Bills are coughing up the second worst explosive run 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:48.880 rate in the NFL so far, so that's topical to 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.679 both Mostert and a chany as for a chance, you 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:54.440 guys remember twenty two touches two hundred and thirty three 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:57.400 total yards on forty one percent of the snaps last 0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:01.520 week eight. Chan number one in the NA in miss tackles, 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:05.719 force per attempt, yards after contact per attempt, and PFF 0:10:05.760 --> 0:10:09.120 grade for qualifying running backs. I mentioned that the Bills 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:11.920 run defense gives up home runs regularly. I have to 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:14.200 give him a be just because you know the time share. 0:10:14.240 --> 0:10:16.720 But both those guys, it's a good matchup for moving 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:19.600 to the Bills. Josh Allen obviously a weekly must start. 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:22.600 He's an A here number five and Fantasy points per 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:23.920 dropback since Week two. 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:25.760 You guys recall the Week one. 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:29.440 Dodd Jets clearly an admiration there for Alan Miami has 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:32.360 an average pass defense. They rank number fifteen in both 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:36.000 yards per attempt allowed and pass A rating allowed Stefan 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:39.120 Diggs weekly must start. He's an a here, top five 0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:40.880 in the NFL, and first read share. 0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:43.520 Gabe Davis. I'm gonna give him a ce. 0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:46.000 He's been about what we expected so far. I think 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:48.160 you guys would agree wide receiver forty. 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:51.120 Well for Scott and I, yes, he has been what 0:10:51.200 --> 0:10:53.520 we expected. But we both thought he was gonna have 0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:55.440 a much better year than last year. So we're both 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:58.360 buying Gabe Davis in the preseason. He's been better than 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:00.560 he was last year by a margin for sure. 0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.400 Yeah, and this one, most of his routes are going 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:07.040 to come against the dalphin cornerback Xavian Howard and Kadeer Cahu. 0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:12.520 Howard seventy two point seven catch rate against COOHU eighty 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:15.680 two point four catch rate allowed on targets got good. 0:11:15.840 --> 0:11:18.000 Gave Davis could have a big, solid game here, but 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:20.000 I'm giving them a seed just because those targets are 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:21.800 going to be going to Digs. I also have to 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:24.840 give a sea to both Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox. 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:27.320 We have a bit of a quag Meyer situation here. 0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:28.760 I was hoping the Bills were going to go to 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:31.920 twelve personnel and every single play that has not happened yet. 0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:35.040 They love running out the different formation every single time, 0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:36.480 so one of those guys can end up on the 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:38.800 bench on any given step. When they're out there and 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:41.480 they're used on routes, the Bills aren't really using them. 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:44.080 Dalton Kincaid was a guy in college who the utility 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:46.520 was downfield catching. Yeah, he only has a three point 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:48.480 six a dot right now. That's nice, so he's just 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.839 be using as a dump up. As for knocks, zero 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:53.760 points six to one yards per route run. 0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:54.360 Not great. 0:11:54.400 --> 0:11:56.240 You can't trust either of those guys right now, but 0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:59.160 in a deeper league they would potentially be startable if 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:02.559 he didn't have another option. And lastly, James Cook given 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:04.920 him a grade of A here one hundred and eleven 0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:07.920 point three total yards per game on average on sixty 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:11.559 percent snapshare, but he only has won a Buffalo seven 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:14.560 carries so far this season inside the five yard line. 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:17.000 But on the other hand, the Dolphins cough up the 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.840 fourth highest yards per reception to running backs. James Cook 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:22.719 obviously a very skilled receiver, so a decent matchup for him. 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:24.320 We just hope we can get a little more carries 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:25.000 inside the five. 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:27.400 This was exactly the worry about James Cook going into 0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:31.440 the season that we articulated repeatedly is what's the touchdown 0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:33.320 total going to end up being? As he gets sitting 0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:35.720 in like a six touchdown year, and I think it's 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:37.560 going to play out about that way. Yeah, he won. 0:12:37.600 --> 0:12:39.360 A crazy to us stat I heard this week, and 0:12:39.400 --> 0:12:42.160 I double checked to make sure it was accurate. Through 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:44.320 the first three weeks. Last year, he was seventy two 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:47.280 for one hundred and one with eight touchdowns seventy two 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:50.840 what seventy two completions, Oh, seventy two percent completion, No, 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:53.720 seventy two completions out of one hundred and one attempts, yeah, okay, 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:57.920 and eight touchdowns and two interceptions. This year, seventy two completions, 0:12:57.960 --> 0:13:01.920 one hundred and one attempts, eight touchdowns, two interceptions. The 0:13:02.040 --> 0:13:03.520 yardage is about one hundred off. 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:06.080 I forgotten you started that hot last year. 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:07.880 Too, almost the exact same starts last. 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:09.480 Year, and then right around now is when he had 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:11.600 his first concussion. Yeah, I've got to pray for health 0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:14.720 this year, Vikings take on the Panthers. Viking side's getting 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:17.719 to be pretty easy. Kirk Cousins TJ. Hockinson and Justin 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.920 Jefferson are just now obvious. A's all of them producing 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.920 at top three levels at their position. Nothing about the 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:26.559 Panthers suggests a different outcome here. Let's go to the 0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:30.920 murkier guys, including Jordan Addison. Now, I love that his 0:13:31.040 --> 0:13:35.240 snapcount has risen in three straight games thirty six snaps 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:39.439 to forty snaps to fifty six snaps last week. Still 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:41.880 trailing kJ Osbourne and snapcount, but heading in the right 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:45.000 direction here. And of course, the Panthers are without star 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:47.640 cornerback J. C. Horn who's still on IR and the 0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:52.120 outside starters CJ. Henderson and Dante Jackson both allowing a 0:13:52.160 --> 0:13:56.440 passer rating of at least one hundred and sixteen. So 0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:59.719 there's optimism for Jordan Adison, who I'm putting a B 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:03.440 in this game. Alexander Madison comes in with a B grade. 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:06.440 Even if cam Akers is active, Madison should get most 0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:07.719 of the work, and he will be acted by the 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:10.240 way they've they've announced as much. Should get most of 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:12.880 the work in a very plus matchup. Carolina has allowed 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:17.600 multiple running back scores in every game this season, allowing 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:21.400 the second most on the entire year. They're inside linebacker. 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:24.760 Frankie Louvu left last week's game with a hip injury, 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.960 and Shaq Thompson is on injured reserve. Carolina ranks twenty 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:30.800 third run stopping by Pro Football Focus. I like Alexander 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:31.840 Madison in this game. 0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:34.240 I also heard they weren't playing on playing Cam on 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:35.640 passing downs. 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:38.680 At least that, which would make sense as well. Actually, 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:42.400 that's a more sophisticated sort of route pickups and things 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:44.520 that he'd have to do with that pass protection and 0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:49.600 other things for Carolina. I originally had an A grade 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:51.400 on Adam Field, but now with the news that it's 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:54.000 going to be Bryce Young as the probable starter here, 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:57.480 everybody in the passing game goes down and notch because honestly, 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:00.080 Calton was better, right, I mean, the Panthers offense play 0:15:00.000 --> 0:15:03.680 their best game last week under Dalton, but still Bryce 0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:06.080 Young startable here. I've got a C grade on Bryce 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:11.120 Young just because the Vikings secondary is so soft right now. Miami, sorry, Minnesota, 0:15:11.160 --> 0:15:15.800 allowing a staggering seventy six percent completion rate. They ranked 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:19.120 dead last in pass rush by Pro Football Focus. They've 0:15:19.120 --> 0:15:25.040 only generated fourteen quarterback pressures per game. It's not nearly 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:27.040 good enough, especially for a team blitzing as much as 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:29.560 the Vikings are. Bryce Young will have time to scan 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:31.880 the field find his receivers in a pinch. You could 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.480 go to Bryce Young this week. Back to Adam Thielen 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:38.040 B grade revenge game, obviously as he plays Minnesota. He's 0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:41.320 coming off back to back solid games. Really blossomed with 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.080 Dalton last week. Again, wish Dalton was playing here. Fourteen 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:46.800 targets last week. Feland remains an elite goal to go 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:51.360 receiving threat, just like he was in Minnesota. Primarily playing 0:15:51.400 --> 0:15:55.120 the slot for Carolina. The Vikings just got nuked out 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:58.120 of the slot by Keenan Allen last week, who exploited 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:01.440 a half dozen different Vikings dB. He's trying to guard 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:04.320 him from the slot. See B grade for Adam Thieln 0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:08.000 C grade for DJ Chark. As an outside option here, 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.960 he runs from the outside. He's going to see cornerbacks 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:12.800 at Caleb Evans the most, and a little bit of 0:16:12.840 --> 0:16:16.920 Makai Blackman. Evans has allowed touchdowns in consecutive games. Blackman 0:16:16.960 --> 0:16:20.600 has allowed an eighty six percent completion percentage, both positive 0:16:20.640 --> 0:16:23.720 for DJ Hark. You could give a try on Miles Sanders. 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:25.800 You're gonna want to follow this. He's got a groin injury. 0:16:25.880 --> 0:16:30.680 He was a Friday, he was a Friday missed practice. 0:16:30.720 --> 0:16:33.720 We don't like guys to get downgraded on Friday. You're 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:36.520 heading the wrong direction into the weekend. This groind injury 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:39.040 is a very real threat to re injure for running 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:41.760 back because you have to do all the cutting. Sanders 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:45.400 has experienced a decline in carries and yards per game 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:49.360 in every game this year. Panthers run blocking has been bad. 0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:51.960 That hasn't helped him either. He is a capable receiver, 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:53.960 but this is one thing the Vikings defense has been 0:16:54.000 --> 0:16:57.960 great at. They've allowed the second fewest receptions to running backs, 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:00.560 the fewest receiving yards to running backs, giving up a 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:04.400 touchdown to running backs. So if Sanders, even if if 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:06.919 Sanders starts the game, he still gets a bench grade. 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:10.000 Now if he's out, Juba Hubbard presumably gets like all 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:12.719 the work and he would turn into a C grade 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:17.359 in that event. When we come back, nine players upon 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:20.160 whom you can take a chance. Find out who these 0:17:20.160 --> 0:17:22.479 guys are. Maybe you have injuries, maybe you have illness, 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:26.359 maybe you've got underperformers. We're gonna dig up some deep 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:29.560 dives for you to inject into your lineup when we 0:17:29.600 --> 0:18:01.560 come back to Fantasy Football Weekly, Take a chance on me. 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:05.600 Nine players not normally in your starting lineup. These are 0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:07.600 all guys well in many cases you can pick up 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:10.960 off the waiver wire injected into your lineup for possible 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:14.080 success this weekend, we begin with the quarterback position at 0:18:14.160 --> 0:18:15.120 Scott Fish. 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:16.760 I like that you say nine players, and I'm going 0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:19.800 to give you two quarterbacks wo, because I have to 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:22.720 hatch here. I have to hetche all right. Derek Carr 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:26.200 is expected to play. Yes, if he starts, he gets 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:29.239 the ninth easiest matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:32.679 allow two hundred and seventy seven yards and almost too 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:35.760 actually two fall if you count the rushing two touchdowns 0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:38.399 per game to the quarterback position. Derek Carr at three 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:40.160 hundred and four yards and two hundred and twenty eight 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:42.600 yards in his two full games. His weapons will be 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:46.960 healthier getting Kamara back as well. The other option here 0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:51.000 is Jimmy Garoppolo, who also might not play, so hopefully 0:18:51.000 --> 0:18:54.080 I want to go Jameis Winston. No, no no, no, 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:56.280 no no no. I'm going with two guys that you 0:18:56.400 --> 0:18:59.480 hope play one of them. They both have great matchups. 0:18:59.520 --> 0:19:02.760 Jimmy Garolo versus the Chargers. They ranked fourth worst in 0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:07.399 the defensive DVOA. Jimmy g is second in fifteen plus 0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:10.000 yard throws. He's really getting the ball deep down. 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:13.359 There, Jaybe. It was Kyle Shanahan that was holding him. 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:15.880 Back to all his betting concussion protocol, but he practiced 0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:18.040 the last two days of the week. Chargers allowing an 0:19:18.080 --> 0:19:20.600 average of three hundred and sixty yards and two point 0:19:20.640 --> 0:19:23.280 seven scores per game on their way to being the 0:19:23.320 --> 0:19:26.359 worst against fantasy quarterbacks. Hopefully one of them goes and 0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:28.120 go pick them up, because I'm sure those two guys 0:19:28.160 --> 0:19:28.680 are available. 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:31.199 Well, they probably are, actually, Derek car Jimmy all right, 0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:33.000 you're taking chance at me quarterbacks, So nice. 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:36.000 Last segment we talked about the Bells and the Dolphins, 0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:38.320 which is the obvious fantasy game of the week. I 0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:40.840 think the Colts in the Rams is this is non. 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:42.880 Obvious sneaky game of the sneaky. 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:45.520 So with that being said, Matthew Staffords might take a 0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:49.119 chance on me. Quarterback number six in passing grade this 0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:52.600 year for Matthew Stafford, number nine yards per attempt for 0:19:52.680 --> 0:19:53.920 Matthew Stafford this year. 0:19:54.200 --> 0:19:55.640 And this is a really good matchup. 0:19:55.640 --> 0:19:57.760 As we're sort of alluding to, the Colts are allowing 0:19:57.800 --> 0:20:00.720 the fourth most fantasy points to opposing core this year. 0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:02.639 Yeah, that's a nice start for him. I'm gonna go. 0:20:02.880 --> 0:20:05.760
