00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: into the grave, Haunting you with these three tough questions,

21
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 1: and for the very last time this year, we will

22
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,800

24
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: to pick up this week. All that coming up on

25
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Weekly. We dive right into the matchups, though,

26
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: beginning with Seattle taking onto Philadelphia. This is an interesting

27
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: matchup in that Brian birds they're both birds, I mean,

28
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: and then obviously the Avian conquest is very It's a

29
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: huge theme for this one. The Eagles defense so improved

30
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 1: over the past three or four games. You don't know,

31
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: you know, A you're gonna get the version that really

32
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: struggled for the first half of the season. You're gonna

33
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: get the September October Version're gonna get the November version.

34
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: What do you think about the Seattle side of this

35
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 1: as they take on this new and improved Philadelphia defense. Yeah,

36
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: this is um notly one of two West Coast teams

37
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: going east for the early game, which is always a

38
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: factor in my opinion. But starting with the passing game,

39
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, um, the secondary looked pretty good. Ronald

40
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: Darby back about Damatics back, but they faced Josh Allen

41
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: who's up and down as a passer, then Sad Trombone

42
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: Ski and then even Tom Brady last week. That Patriots

43
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: offense is pretty uninspiring in my opinion, So I'm not

44
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: fully sold on, you know, the Eagles being a shutdown secondary,

45
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: even with Darby and Maddox back. UM safe to say

46
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's on a different level. Yes, guy certainly is.

47
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: I'm still giving him an a here and opposing mobile

48
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,399
Speaker 1: quarterbacks have also padded their stats against the Eagles. Josh

49
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: Allen had forty five yards, Dac had thirty yards in

50
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Even Aaron Rodgers rushed five times for forty

51
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: six yards. So still in a for Russell Wilson over

52
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: for his pass catchers. Tyler Lockett in a as well.

53
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: I'm not concerned about the shin injury. Um, he will play,

54
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: sure of that. It's slot corner of may injury. Like that.

55
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: He's been good but not great, and it doesn't matter.

56
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: Lock it his match up proof in an automatic start

57
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 1: when he's healthy and give him an I'm gonna give

58
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: a dk metcalf of b here um. Even though Ronald

59
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: Darby is back, he has about seven pounds or seven

60
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: INDs on Darby and he's got about like half a

61
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: second on Jalen Mills when it comes to speed before

62
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: the speeds, so he's gonna dominate Derby fly by Mills. Uh.

63
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: The Eagles have only allowed one wide receiver touchdown in

64
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: their last four but outside of Dallas, again, the opposing

65
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: receivers into quarterbacks haven't been all that great, so I'm

66
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 1: not reading too much into those numbers. Um, Josh Gordon,

67
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give him a see here, only played in

68
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: thirty seven percent of the snaps, but he's come off

69
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: a bye and Uh, I don't know. I'm just gonna

70
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: throw this dark Josh Gordon. See why not? Let's do it? Um, okay,

71
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: just throwing it out there. Speaking throw darts. Remember that

72
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: Jacob Polliser prespect dart I threw several weeks ago. Um,

73
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: why yeah, I do recall that. I don't think you

74
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: can find anything time stamped audio, Twitter, nothing that said

75
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: Jacob Polliser before that show. But anyway, that was the

76
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: last show, so it was about a month earlier. Uh,

77
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: I just can give him a b. Though San Francisco

78
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: arguably the top tight end defense. UH, Hollister somewhat shredded

79
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: them for eight catches and a touchdown the last time

80
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 1: Seattle played. Because it is a tough matchup as well.

81
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: The Eagles have only one tight end touchdown over the

82
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: last six weeks and only one tight ends top three

83
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: receptions or thirty six yards during that same stretch, So

84
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: not a ideal matchup. But hollis a locked in as

85
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: a tight end one pretty much on a weekly basis

86
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: moving forward. And then Chris Carson always locked in as

87
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: an RB one or r B two. I would say

88
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 1: he's an RB one in PPR leagues and just the

89
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: RV two, which would be a B in a standard.

90
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: He's had some. This is a tough matchups. They're tough matchups,

91
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 1: but he always seems to find a way to be

92
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 1: fantasy viable. He'll find a way and he'll he could

93
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: find a way through the air as well. Philly is

94
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: allowing six catches per game to running backs and Chris

95
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: Carson still owns seventy percent of Seattle's running back target share. Uh,

96
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: don't be worried about Rashad Penny there over to the

97
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: Eagles side, should probably be worried about them a lot,

98
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: especially their wide receivers. Let's start with Carson. What a

99
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: disaster it is there. Yeah, it's a do over, so

100
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: at the position for the whole team. Actually know, I'm

101
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: gonna start at the running game first because I don't

102
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: want to talk about the receivers just yet because it's

103
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: so awful. Jordan Howard was not cleared for contact on

104
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: in Friday's practice, so he's looking unlikely to go here,

105
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: and the signing of j Jilli is on Bode Will.

106
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: Media reports at the end of the week saying that

107
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: Ji is looking at his substantial workload. Gross, he's bad.

108
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 1: Boston Scott the backup running back to Miles Sanders. I'm

109
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: gonna give Miles Sanders a see. Boston Scott saw too

110
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: many carries in my opinion, he had seven last week

111
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: to Sanders is eleven. But I think New England really

112
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: game planned to shut Sanders down. Sanders was still on

113
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: the field for the snaps last week, so a solid

114
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: see here. Still uh silly. Seattle has allowed the fourth

115
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: most rushing touchdowns and running backs, and they've allowed at

116
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: least seven running back catches in five of their last

117
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: eight games. The Rams backs and Bucks backs and not

118
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: hit that mark. That's understandable though, and Geneveon Clowney and

119
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: Geron Reid are banged up, missed most of practice all week.

120
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: They might not play, but they they're They're definitely not

121
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: a percent. So that's good news for Carson wins and company.

122
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: Starting with his only two pass catchers, I'm gonna mention,

123
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: and one of them is not Alican Jeffrey. No, it's

124
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: Zackers and Dallas Goddard. I mean, that's it. Um, it's

125
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: not an I Geoffrey and they both not play in

126
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: this game. Even if they play, it doesn't matter. It

127
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: doesn't matter for Arts and Goddard. What do you want

128
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: to talk about the wid receivers anymore? Let's talk about

129
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: the tight ends. Not an ideal matchup though, posing tight

130
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: ends have total just one touchdown against Seattle over the

131
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: last five weeks, while averaging just three catches and forty

132
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: two yards. But Seattle is yielding eight targets per game

133
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: to tight ends over the last four weeks, so they

134
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: have been involved, and uh ERTs and God are probably

135
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: gonna see eight targets a piece in this one. Be

136
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: my estimation. Carson Winslow, I'm putting him on the bench.

137
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: Here are the passing touchdowns allowed by the Seahawks over

138
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: their last seven games zero one, one, zero one, two

139
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: and one. James jams in binary just spelled penis, did

140
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: I really? Yeah, Winston had the two touchdowns, but he

141
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: actually has wide receivers on his team, unlike the Eagles.

142
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 1: So just uh not just a bench grade eight bench

143
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: grade for Carson Wentz. I don't think two is in

144
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: by it random? Do you usually not know? But that's

145
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: like it's like the it's like the B plus you

146
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: keep trying to get play. Yes, yeah, it's very similar

147
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: to that Denver takes on Buffalo. This is not as

148
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: complicated of a matchup. I don't think on the Denver

149
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: side they could travel to Buffalo. Buffalo an elite past defense,

150
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: a wobbly run defense. And here comes Philip Lindsay, who

151
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: got a lot of work last week. I love him

152
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: in this patchup. Tell me you do too, I do.

153
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: I do like him. I will say, first of all,

154
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: the over under on this game is thirty five. That's

155
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: really lowest, the lowest of the week, And so I

156
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: have a decent number of starters here that I'm I'm

157
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: a little worried about that because I think it's gonna

158
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: be low scoring in general. But yeah, Philip Lindsay, that

159
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: took what eleven weeks for him to finally establish or

160
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: for the Broncos understand that he had dramatically better than

161
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: Royce Freeman. Out snapped Freeman last week eight touches to

162
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: just nine. I mean, he has established himself as the one,

163
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: at least the one A in this backfield. Buffalo has

164
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 1: allowed four point six yards per carry to opposing running backs.

165
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: That's sort of the one area where you can move

166
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 1: the ball against Buffalo, including three yard rushing games allowed

167
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: and eight rushing touchdowns. Running Backs have also combined for

168
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: twenty catches against the Bills in the last two games.

169
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: So I like Philip Lindsay here. I gave him a B.

170
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: I'm not quite really ready to give him an A.

171
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: If there was something in between those two grades, it

172
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: sure would be convenience there. He's a B. I've got

173
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,599
Speaker 1: Royce Freeman on the bench just fifteen touches in the

174
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,679
Speaker 1: last two games, and we just talked about they're basically

175
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: phasing him out here. He's more of just a change

176
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: of pace guy the passing game. Lad in Air Quotes

177
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: by Brandon Allen completing just under fifty of his passes

178
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: three touchdown passes in two starts. The Bills are top

179
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: three past defense. They've only let one quarterback throw more

180
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: than one touchdown passed against them, and Alan is an

181
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: easy bench grade. And this one that brings us to

182
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton. This one's a little difficult. Buffalo has only

183
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: allowed four wide receivers to score, only one wide receiver

184
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: top two hundred yards. That was kind of inexplicably Davante

185
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: Parker last week. Sutton has been the apple of Alan's eye.

186
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: Targeted seventeen times and two starts, he has at least

187
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: seventy two yards and five of his last six games,

188
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 1: so the stats look good. Sutton sure looks good, but

189
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: this matchup is really difficult. Cornerback Travi Tradavious White of

190
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: the Bills has become a shutdown guy. So just fin

191
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: had to start a defense with any cornerback right now,

192
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 1: White would be the first guy. There you go. Suton

193
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: comes through in this game. Automatic first round picked for me.

194
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: Next year, We're gonna talk a lot more Sutton later

195
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: in this show. I gave him just a C grade

196
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: in this because of the difficulty of the matchup. Number

197
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: two wide receiver now it's Tim Patrick. He did have

198
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: eight targets last week. I'm gonna maybe talk about him

199
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: a little bit later on the show, but that was

200
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: his first game off of i R last week. Let's

201
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: give him another week or two before we think about

202
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 1: putting him back in the lineup tight end Noah Funt

203
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: he's an interesting one here too. He actually leads the

204
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: Broncos with twenty four targets since Emmanuel Sanders was traded

205
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: a couple of games ago. That's more than Courtland Sutton

206
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 1: seven catches and a hundred and seventy five yards in

207
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: Allan's two starts. So he's been very good over the

208
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. But the Bills are also very

209
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 1: good against tight ends. No none have topped fifty seven yards.

210
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: Only one has scored. So I've got fun with a

211
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: C grade here as a starter on the Bill's side.

212
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. He's obviously in here because of what he

213
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: can do on the ground, but this is a very

214
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: good Denver passing defense. Outside of their second half collapse

215
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: against Kirk Cousins and the Vikings. Before that, only two

216
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 1: quarterbacks had topped even two hundred and thirty five yards

217
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: and only one had thrown more than one touchdown pass.

218
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: So you're gonna right Allen here on a B grade.

219
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 1: But he's gonna have to make it work on the ground,

220
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 1: which he has been doing all year. Seven rushing scores

221
00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: this year, including four in the last three, so you're

222
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: gonna have to hope for more of that. I do

223
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 1: have John Brown in with a starting grade with a

224
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: B here hundred thirty seven yards and two touchdowns last

225
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: week against Miami. He has at least five catches and

226
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: seventy five yards in five of his last six games.

227
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: Now Denver has a shutdown corner two and Chris Harris

228
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: he's and he did not shadow Digs though either, so

229
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 1: he was on part of the time and Diggs went

230
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 1: off for one yards and a touchdown. So cautiously optimistic

231
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: that Brown can avoid Harris enough to be fantasy relevant

232
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: this week. Don't worry about any of the other receivers,

233
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: including tight end Dawson Knox, back up running game Devin

234
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: Singletary fifteen or more touches and two of the last

235
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: three games, he's established himself as the number one running

236
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 1: back here. Although Frank Gore is annoyingly still involved somewhat,

237
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: mostly just at the goal line, and even then he's

238
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: not good anymore. Well, and that's part of the problem too,

239
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 1: is that Josh Allen scores some of the goal lines

240
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: the goal line touchdowns as well, So single Tarry's upside

241
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: here is pretty minimal because of the lack of scoring.

242
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,760
Speaker 1: It's yardage and Denver held Nick Chubb to sixty five

243
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 1: yards on twenty carries. Dalvin Cooked had just twenty six

244
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: yards in the last two weeks, So just a very

245
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: low C grade on singletary. That's it for this matchup. Alright,

246
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: Jacksonville takes on Tennessee Leonard Fournette hopefully getting back on track.

247
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: He's trending the wrong direction over the last four weeks

248
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 1: with diminishing rushing attempts, rushing yards yards per carry four

249
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: consecutive weeks. But Doug Moron after last week came out

250
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: and said we've got to get Leonard for Nett back

251
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: on track. And now he gets a Titans team that

252
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: over its last five games is allowing one hundred forty

253
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: one total yards and a touchdown per game to opposing

254
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: running backs. Leonard Fournette gets virtually all of the work,

255
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,079
Speaker 1: so he's gonna get If those averages were to hold,

256
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: he'd be looking at one one and a touchdown. UM

257
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 1: we for Nett when they these seems met in week three,

258
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: put up ninety two yards, which is a solid performance.

259
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: I think a better one on tap here in all probability,

260
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: I've got a B grade Onlinard four Net for this week.

261
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: Let's go to the passing game. I expected Nick Foles

262
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: to be rusty last week, and we talked a little

263
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: bit about it on this show last week, and I

264
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: was wrong. You look great against the Colts secondary, throwing

265
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: for almost three hundred yards, completing seventy of his passes

266
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: in his first game back off I r All three

267
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: of Nick foles receivers have got plus matchups. Are gonna

268
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: talk about them in a little bit more too. Over

269
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: the past month, the average quarterbacks start against the slumping

270
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: Titan secondary three hundred twenty seven yards and two and

271
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: a half touchdowns per game. WHOA, that's some solid upside

272
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: for Nick Foles and that's why he has a B

273
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 1: grade in this game. His his go to receiver, d

274
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 1: J Shark, also with a B grade. The Titans started

275
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: the season well against opposing receivers, but they've stumbled of late.

276
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: They've allowed three consecutive when hundred yard games. Mike Evans,

277
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: d J Moore, Tyreek Kill those are really good receivers.

278
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: But d J. Chark probably belongs in that conversation. He

279
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: overcame a tough matchup last week. He'll have to do

280
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: it against the Dory Jackson here, who's got good speed

281
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: to match Chark and speeds a super fast receiver. But

282
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: Chark had the touchdown for Nick Foles in game one.

283
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: He had the two touchdowns last week from Nick Foles.

284
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: Tough to leave him on the bench here. He's way

285
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: bigger than I thought. To DJ, he is a big

286
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 1: four at least two pounds. But uh, and then how

287
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: about this for a flyer. If somebody wants to just

288
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: steal this for take a chance on me next segment

289
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: you can. We have been your Chris Conley leader this year,

290
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: correctly predicting all like three of Chris Conley's big games.

291
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: This is shaping up well of his career. Yeah without

292
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 1: actually it is probably career. Never happened with the Chiefs

293
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: conmly overwhelmingly runs from the side of the field guarded

294
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: by cornerback Lashawn Sims, who is the backup to Malcolm Butler,

295
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 1: who just went on i R. In his first start,

296
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: Sims allowed all five of the passes in his coverage

297
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: to be completed. Also, Sims is a slower, bigger cornerback,

298
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: and Conley is just all straight line speed. So there

299
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: could be a big game for for Chris Conley in

300
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 1: this game and he gets a sea grain. Let's go

301
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 1: to the Tennessee side, where Derrick Henry is an obvious

302
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: a and the Jaguars run defense has lapsed badly. Over

303
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: the past two games, all five of the running backs

304
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: to get a carry against the Jaguars has scored or

305
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 1: top to one hundred yards. Allow me to repeat what

306
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: I just said because it's so absurd. In the past

307
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: two games, all five running backs to touch the ball

308
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: against the Jaguars have scored or top to one hundred yards.

309
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry obvious. I almost don't believe you. Do you

310
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: want me to say it that that might be excess

311
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: if um there are some starters in the passing game,

312
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: but not many here. Ryan Tannehill with a C grade

313
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: as a reminder, because they were on by last week

314
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: Prior to that, it was a month of good starts

315
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: for Ryan Tannehill, with multiple touchdowns and or three hundred

316
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 1: yards in all four starts. Jaguars secondary has been awfully good.

317
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: They'll they haven't even missed Jalen Ramsey over the past

318
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: six weeks. They've allowed per game averages of just two

319
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: d ten yards and one point three touchdowns. Jaguars run

320
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 1: defense is so bad. I just think the whole game

321
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: plan here tilts towards Derrick Henry and I've got just

322
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: a C grade on Ryan Tannehill. And the only receiver

323
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: I'm recommending that you start is Delaney Walker, and that's

324
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 1: only if he plays as he's shaping up as a

325
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: true game time decision. He's had the ankle injuries missed

326
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 1: over a month. But if he's a full go, he

327
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: faces a Jaguars defense that's been susceptible to tight ends,

328
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 1: allowing three scores in three games. But again, it's dangerous.

329
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: Walker will come into this game gimp beyond the ankle.

330
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: So you're you're kind of you that's the risk you're taking,

331
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: but a tight end you might not have a choice.

332
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: Corey Davis and A. J. Brown are on the bench.

333
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: I've mentioned the Jaguars secondary has been very good and

334
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: those guys are too inconsistent. Uh Coreya is probably coming

335
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: back from his hip injury, but at this point, who cares?

336
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 1: Who cares? Everything charged? It's me everything. Charge is available

Speaker 1: host and I are going to provide three quarterbacks, three

356
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 1: running backs, and three receivers, so we believe are startable

357
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:34,719
Speaker 1: this week, beginning with Brian Johnson at the quarterback position.

358
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 1: Who you got Next week? We'll be playing the Happy

359
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: Trombone next week after goes off against the Giants this

360
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: week in Chicago. Yes, true, Whisky sucks, but he has

361
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: produced in good matchups through for three touchdowns against Detroit

362
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: and Washington, and this is a very good matchup. Eight

363
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: of the ten quarterbacks the Giants have faced at that

364
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: top ten finishes regardless of what fantasy football format you play.

365
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: And Mitch Dubinski is going to run in this game,

366
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:13,360
Speaker 1: do you think so? His fifteen carries this year, Gardner

367
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: Minshew has three times carries. I know why don't they

368
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: use him that way? I don't know, you know why?

369
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: Because he is sad trombone ski This This is from something?

370
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 1: Yes it is? What is it? Oh? I know this? Listener,

371
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 1: Jim Crowley tipping me off to this? What is I

372
00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: know this? Man? It's from a movie. It's from a movie.

373
00:19:52,720 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: It's the world's worst trombone solo. It's from American pie too. Yes, yes, yes,

374
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: to pretend to pretend that he's he's like some concert trombonist.

375
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: Tromp trombonist? Is that? What are you are? Tricky? Your well?

376
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: Back to the running like there's more to talk at

377
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 1: Anyone's just stop, Giant said, seeing the second most rushing

378
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,399
Speaker 1: attempts by quarterbacks and allowed the most rushing touchdowns to quarterback.

379
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 1: So he's going to sam rushing touchdown? All right, what

380
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: other quarterback can we use? We can use Ryan Fitzpatrick

381
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: this week chart. I'm a little surprised and quite frankly

382
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: saddened that you you chose here to take a chance

383
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 1: on me guys before me and passed up a golden

384
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:44,520
Speaker 1: opportunity and collect beard. This one is all about the matchup. Well, first,

385
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: let's get into a weird a little bit here. He's

386
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: been wildly inconsistent, but he did manage three in twenty

387
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 1: three yards against a very good Buffalo secondary, which I

388
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: outlined in the previous matchup, and he had multiple touchdown

389
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: passes in two of three games before that, so he's

390
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: finding a way to move the ball to Ande Parker

391
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: looks pretty good at wide receiver. But this, of course,

392
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: is about the matchup with the Browns, who you may

393
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: have heard have some suspensions coming into this game. Miles

394
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: Garrett is out, Larry Ogan job is out. They've already

395
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: been missing Olivier Vernon, Morgan Burnett. They're missing four of

396
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 1: their top starters on defense, and even before all of

397
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 1: that happened, they were a bottom half passing defense. They've

398
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: allowed at least two touchdowns to seven of the last

399
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,919
Speaker 1: eight quarterbacks they faced, and that was against guys like

400
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: Brandon Allen, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Jared Goff, not even good players.

401
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: So Ryan Fitzpatrick this week, let's roll with Stu Beard. Jimmy,

402
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: she's pretty good. I've got Jeff Chris Driskell going up

403
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 1: against what he did? Uh, Jeff Driskell shock He played

404
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: shockingly well last week. Actually, in both of his starts,

405
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: he's played very well and against good defenses Chicago and Dallas.

406
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: His twenty four point after last week would have beaten

407
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 1: the Cowboys if his defense wasn't completely broken. He goes

408
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: up against the Redskins. They won excellent cornerback Quentin Dunbar,

409
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: two terrible ones, Fabian Moreau and Josh Norman. Josh Norman,

410
00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: by the way, gave up two touchdowns last week in

411
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 1: his coverage most frequently Kenny Golladay and Danny Amandola are

412
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: gonna line up against those two. Those are exploitable matchups

413
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: for Jeff Durriskull. Let's go to the running back position, Brian,

414
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: who you got? You actually might want to fire up

415
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,719
Speaker 1: the time machine for this one charge because it's a

416
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: blast from the past Jets versus the Rai. He looked

417
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 1: good last week in sort of limited action. I don't

418
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: know if you watched, but I had some great runs.

419
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 1: Should have scored if not for the turf monster at

420
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: FedEx Field in Washington or Maryland for that matter. Um

421
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: who has not had great runs this year's Levon Bell

422
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: hasn't topped seventy rushing yards in the game this year disaster.

423
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: Two weeks ago, Bell was playing playing over the snaps.

424
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: He's hovering right above six right now. Oakland had a

425
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: really good run defense early on, but they've allowed over

426
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: five yards per carry over the last three games against

427
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: some pretty bad offensive lines to like the Bengals and

428
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: the Lions. And lastly, we all know Powell can catch

429
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: the ball and um, let me see I had a

430
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: good stat here for that. Hold on one second, the

431
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: Raiders have allowed at least one receiving touchdown to a

432
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: running back in four straight games. Back, that is deep.

433
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 1: I like it. Let's go to Christian Peterson. Who's your

434
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: take a chance of me running back? Let's go back

435
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 1: to this riveting Dolphins Brown's matchup. I'm gonna go with

436
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: Patrick Laird all right, tell us running back for the Dolphin.

437
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 1: He's a running back, an undrafted rookie from California. If

438
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: you haven't seen him, he has similar traits physically to

439
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 1: running backs like Christian McCaffrey, Danny Woodhead. I'm sure Meryl Hodge,

440
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: Mike cal stots what, they all have a similar physical character.

441
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: They're all very good football players. Yes, they all played

442
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: running back. They all played running back. Yes, yeah, that's

443
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: the only similarities I could find between all those players.

444
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: He used a lot of eye black, that's true. Yeah, yeah,

445
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 1: so Patrick laired right now, he's somehow is still behind

446
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,719
Speaker 1: Kaylin Blah on the running back the chart there, despite

447
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: Belage averaging last week forty three point seven inches per

448
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 1: Touchlage is awful. At some point they have to turn

449
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 1: the page here, and it could be this week, and

450
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,880
Speaker 1: it could be Patrick Laird. He had six receptions last week,

451
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: so he's clearly the pass catching guy. If you're in

452
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: a PPR league. God knows, it's not Bolage, not Blage.

453
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: We know that. So if he keeps those catches, keeps

454
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,679
Speaker 1: the receiving work, and adds in ten or twelve touches

455
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: against this beat up, broken down defense, you never know.

456
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,360
Speaker 1: Take a chance on Patrick Laird. I have to make

457
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 1: a quick correction. I meant to say before the Bengals

458
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,879
Speaker 1: game last week, the Raiders had at least one receiving

459
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: touchdown in fourth straight. Didn't last week against the Bengals.

460
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:47,959
Speaker 1: But that changes everything. And I know that was just

461
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: it was just gnawing at me. I just saidn't. I

462
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: couldn't concentrate into fix that might take a chance to

463
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: be running back is A one A and one B.

464
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: Two guys from the same team. Jalen Samuels, who's largely

465
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: already rostered, but then Benny s l who's coming off

466
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: of injury and is available much more readily, in fact

467
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 1: available in most leagues. They go up againt Cincinnati. Now

468
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: James Conner is, barring a last minute resurrection, is not

469
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 1: going to go in this game. In fact, he's been

470
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 1: ruled out. He's been ruled out. Jalen Samuels has average

471
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 1: nineteen touches per game in the two full games Connor

472
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,160
Speaker 1: has missed, so you know he's gonna get plenty of touches.

473
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: But he's no workhorse, and especially as a runner, so

474
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: they will go to Benny Snell to do a lot

475
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 1: of the running. This is a Bengals team allowing one

476
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 1: hundred sixty three total yards per game to opposing running backs.

477
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: That the third most in the league. If it's a

478
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty three divided by both guys, they're both

479
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:42,679
Speaker 1: value plays at that stage. The forty Niners, Cardinals, and

480
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: Rams dual back fields all had lucrative fantasy days, and

481
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: I think there's a good opportunity here for both Benny

482
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:55,199
Speaker 1: Snell and Jalen Samuel's to get it done. Um runners

483
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: who got in the eight to fourteen carry range. This

484
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 1: is very specific on there's who got in the eight

485
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: to fourteen carry range against the Bengals average fifty rushing

486
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,879
Speaker 1: yards and almost one touchdown per game. Let's go to

487
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: the wild receiver position. Brian who you got, I'm going

488
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 1: Batman and Robin here and pairing Mitch Dubiskie with Taylor

489
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,479
Speaker 1: Gabriel was just a still playing and I went all

490
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 1: in on the Bengals last week. It wasn't a total disaster.

491
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: Tad Okay, I hope he's feeling all right, but anyway,

492
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 1: Taylor Gabriel against the Giants. Gabriel saw fourteen targets last week,

493
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: with Jalen Ramsey shadowing Allen Robinson to North Jenkins probably

494
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 1: shadows a rob For the most part, it doesn't really

495
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: matter that Jenkins is a sort of a show of

496
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: his former self. It means Taylor Gabriel was he a

497
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 1: ton of rookie corner DeAndre Baker who's getting flamed this year,

498
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: allowing a touchdown in every eight point five targets he

499
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: sees and a pass the rating of a hundred and

500
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: forty nine point nine. So he made a play once.

501
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 1: I guess right, I guess that subtracks point one from

502
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,959
Speaker 1: your something like that. Yeah, Taylor Gabriel. Taylor Gabriel, all right,

503
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with tight end here, Ryan Griffin with

504
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: the Cardinals on a by this week, we need some

505
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: other defense to pick on for our tight end streamer

506
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,359
Speaker 1: this week, So let's enter the Raiders. The Jets opponent

507
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 1: this week. There a bottom three tight end defense. They've

508
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 1: allowed seven tight end touchdowns this year, and Griffin has

509
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 1: actually been really pretty good over the last month or so.

510
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 1: He's kind of become what everybody thought Chris Herndon was

511
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: going to be before the year before injuries side uh

512
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: sidetracked his season. Griffin had five catches, a hundred nine yards,

513
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: and a touchdown last week. He had three Fantasy relevant

514
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: performances in the five weeks before that, topping fifty yards

515
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 1: and two of them three touchdowns in that span. So

516
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: Griffin is legit here. If you've got a buy issue,

517
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,119
Speaker 1: if you've got Travis Kelsey maybe on buy look to

518
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: Ryan Griffin for your streamer. When Mohammed Sanu went to

519
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: the Patriots, by the way, she out this week, so

520
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,199
Speaker 1: keep keeping out of your lineup. M Russell Gauge became

521
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 1: the slot receiver for the Falcons. He goes up against

522
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay is now on their third slot

523
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 1: corner of the year, and with Ston Hooper out and

524
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,919
Speaker 1: DeVonta Freeman out, there's gonna be a lot of volume

525
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 1: to go around. Russell Gauge has seen eighteen targets over

526
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: the past three games. That's all you need against Tampa Bay.

527
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 1: They're giving up two hundred forties six yards just to

528
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position, second most in the league. It's

529
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: a great opportunity. That's over the last three games. Over

530
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 1: the last three games, by the way, four different receivers

531
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: of top one yards. It was the last three games.

532
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: Eight receiver touchdowns allowed by Tampa Bay in three games.

533
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: Russell Gauge, you take a chance of me and final, uh,

534
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: take a chance of me player for this particular segment,

535
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: we were gonna work in one quick matchup as well, Brian.

536
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: The Giants are taking on Chicago. The last time we

537
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 1: saw st Kwon Barkley, it was a disaster, and now

538
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 1: he travels to Chicago for a very tough matchup. What

539
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: do you think of se Kwon Barkley in this one?

540
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: I love him a nobody wants the recency bias, and

541
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: yet Chicago really not that daunting of a matchup without

542
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: a Keem Hicks. They've allowed nine rushing touchdowns running backs

543
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: in the six games since losing the Key Micks, and

544
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 1: the Bears have yielded the second most targets of running

545
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 1: backs to the season. We've seen se Quon Barkley a

546
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: lot double digit passes multiple times, so I love so

547
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,239
Speaker 1: this year. Yep, that's true because Eli Manning is not

548
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: the court. But anyway, because they can throw the ball

549
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: downfield now alright, so the wide receiver situation is pretty

550
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: sticky here for New York Sterling Shepherd was cleared on Friday,

551
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: so he will play. I had a not even a salad,

552
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: be a salad sea on Golden Tate if Shepherd sat,

553
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: But now that Shepherd's playing, I don't know. Don't stay

554
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: with it. Shephard probably helps Tate. Well, it's an awful

555
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: matchup all around. Uh, speaking to Tate, and whoever runs

556
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: out the slot, it's gonna be Tate and Shephard, probably

557
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: mainly Tate. Over the last four games, Chicago has held

558
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: slot receivers through thirty nine yards per game and no touchdowns.

559
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 1: That includes guys like Keenan Allen and Cooper Cup. So

560
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: see for Tate. I'm gonna put Shepherd and Slate and

561
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: the bench just because the Bears have allowed only one

562
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 1: wide receiver touchdown since Week four, and during that same

563
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: stretch only Stephan Digs and Michael Thomas were able to

564
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: top eighty receiving yards. And these guys aren't as got

565
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 1: not as good. Uh. And Evan Ingram speaking of players

566
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: who are out, he is out. His backup, Rett Ellison

567
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 1: is out. I don't even know where the backup is

568
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: off the top of my head right now, but you

569
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: do not want to play him. Outside of a big

570
00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: day by zach ertz Uh a few weeks back, Chicago

571
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: has not allowed any other tight end to top four

572
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: catches or fifty yards. And Daniel Jones is on the

573
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: bench too, and this one. Chicago is allowing less than

574
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: one passing touchdown per game on average, and only one

575
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: quarterback has hit three d passing yards and that was

576
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: case Keenum in garbage time over the Bear side, starting

577
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 1: with David Montgomery will give him a b. Even though

578
00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: over the last three weeks the snap percentage has dropped

579
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: from seventy three to sixty one to forty six last week. UH,

580
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: you'd expect the snap percentage to climb this week. Though

581
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: the Bears are favored at home, the Giants owned the

582
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,720
Speaker 1: fourth highest opponent rushing play percentage and opposing lead backs

583
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 1: have scored in or top two hundred and ten compoyards

584
00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: and I with the Giants last six. So let's put

585
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: a b on David Montgomery. I'm putting three Cone on

586
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: the bench, though there's no angle here. The Giants haven't

587
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: surrendered receiving scored to a running back, and only two

588
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: loan backs have topped four receptions and those were James

589
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: White and Dalvin Cook. Treat Cone is not in that company.

590
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: Allen Robinson. You gonna give him an a though, even

591
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: with Mitch Rubisky as his quarterback, he looks great. Uh.

592
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: He had Jalen Ramsey beat multiple times last week, but

593
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: Sad Trombosky just couldn't find him. Might get shadowed by

594
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 1: Genera's Jenkins. I mentioned that, but bay rob also runs

595
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: out of the slot a third of the time. He'll

596
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: be all over the place. I just like a Mulot

597
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: on this weekend, and also like Taylor Gabriel against this

598
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: awful Giants secondaries. Might take a chance on me. Wide

599
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: receiver Anthony Miller almost gave him a starting grade. Eleven

600
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: targets for him last week, but just uh six combined

601
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:45,600
Speaker 1: looks in the three games prior, so we got to

602
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: see more from him than Ben braw Necker. That's the

603
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: tight end now. They actually threw to him a punch

604
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 1: or brow Brownecker Brown. But tight ends have actually done

605
00:31:57,160 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: nothing against the Giants this year. I'm like last year

606
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: they were a media match up. So he's on the bench,

607
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: but Mitch Chubisky is not. Might take a chance on

608
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: me quarterback. Did you know fanball has daily fantasy auctions, Yes, auctions.

609
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: You love auctioning in the preseason. You will love auctioning

610
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: for this weekend's games. Fanball auctions. They are fast faced,

611
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 1: they are frantic, incredibly fun. You've been on four players

Speaker 1: the I Heart Radio app. Let's get back to the

626
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: matchups Miami takes on Cleveland. Christian, you already told us

627
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: you like Mighty Loves Stu Beard, Ryan Fitzpatrick. You told

628
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: us about Patrick Laird. Who do you like Fitzpatrick to

629
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: throw too? In this game? Well, there's really only one

630
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,040
Speaker 1: off it really is there. We'll keep this short and sweetest.

631
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: Davante Parker. Uh. Parker has been consistently Albert Wilson a

632
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: loyal listener to this show, and he's pissed right now. Well,

633
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: he needs to do something before he gets mentioned here.

634
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: But Parker, the problem here is that the matchup is

635
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: actually pretty difficult against a Cleveland secondary that hasn't allowed

636
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: a one hud yard receiver since week three. They have

637
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 1: two very good cornerbacks, Denzel Ward and Greedy Williams. Parker

638
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: likely draws Ward, who has allowed just fifteen catches for

639
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: two d and thirty eight yards in his coverage this year,

640
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 1: so across ten games, that's like less than twenty five

641
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 1: yards per game. So I gave Parker a b start

642
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:19,240
Speaker 1: here because I like there's injuries all over the Browns

643
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 1: front seven, so they Fitzpatrick should have time to find guys,

644
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 1: and the one guy that he looks to is DeVante Parker.

645
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: Titan Mike just Sicky has actually been somewhat relevant, targeted

646
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: six times each of the last three games, but he's

647
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: not doing much with those looks, so let's keep him

648
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: on the bench for now. That brings us to the

649
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 1: running game. Patrick Laird was might take a chance on

650
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,360
Speaker 1: me running back. What do you do with Blage is

651
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: the problem. He probably will get fifteen to twenty touches

652
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: in this game. Yeah, against the defense that was allowing

653
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,280
Speaker 1: four point seven five yards per carry to opposing backs

654
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:55,440
Speaker 1: before the two suspensions here, you can't put him in

655
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: your flex spot. It's like if you have to if

656
00:34:57,760 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: there's no other running back. Essentially, it's when you pl

657
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 1: kalm Bloge. It's that bad opportunity. He's not gonna get that.

658
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 1: He's not gonna get catches. He might get a touchdown,

659
00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: but he might also get twenty touches for twenty three yards,

660
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,279
Speaker 1: which is fully capable of. Yes, so he's a high risk.

661
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: He's he's a high risk, low reward on the brown

662
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: side for once. I have a whole bunch of starting

663
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: grades here. Uh, this could be the moment we've all

664
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:25,720
Speaker 1: been waiting here against the Dolphins. I've got Baker Mayfield

665
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: with just a B grade here. He's been better recently,

666
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: completing over six his passes in the last five games,

667
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: multiple touchdowns in two straight. And the Dolphins, as we know,

668
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 1: are just no good defensively. Seven of ten Dolphins opposing

669
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 1: quarterbacks have thrown for at least two hundred and forty

670
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 1: six yards the only the only two that haven't thrown

671
00:35:43,440 --> 00:35:46,320
Speaker 1: multiple touchdown passes against them are Sam Donald and Bryan Hoyer.

672
00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: So good chance for Baker Mayfield to to get off

673
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: the schneide here. And of course Odell Beckham Jr. Same

674
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 1: kind of deal here. Only one team has allowed more

675
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 1: wide receiver touchdowns than the Dolphins, John Brown just last

676
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 1: week hundred and thirty seven yards and two touchdowns. Beckham

677
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: Beckham owners are desperately hoping for a breakout like that,

678
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: and it could come here. This is an A grade

679
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 1: here Jarvis Landry. We've got a revenge game here for Landry,

680
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 1: and he scored touchdowns in three straight at least five

681
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: catches and three of his last four, so he's an

682
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 1: easy start this week as a B grade. That brings

683
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:21,359
Speaker 1: me to the running game. Notably, David Najoku still out.

684
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 1: He's on i R. Could have returned this week technically,

685
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 1: but he's not quite ready yet, so he's out. Nick

686
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: Chubb is an easy A. At least twenty rushing attempts

687
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:31,840
Speaker 1: in five straight games, He'll be the workhorse against Miami

688
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:35,279
Speaker 1: defense that that's allowed the NFL's second most running back

689
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: rushing attempts and its second most yards. Chubb is an

690
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 1: easy A. Kareem Hunt in PPR formats, he's actually outscored

691
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: Chubb in the in the game since he came back,

692
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 1: averaging nine targets a game and game and the new

693
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: James White Yeah, combined thirteen catches in those games. He

694
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: also has ten ten carries too, so an average of

695
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: five carries. So in a game like this that's probably

696
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 1: gonna be a blowout. Kareem Hunt, He's got a B grade.

697
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: He's a very star borderline. Hey, borderline. Yeah, I love

698
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: Kareem Hunt in this matchup. Um, since Pittsburgh stakeing in

699
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: Cincinnati already told you about Jalen Samuel's and Benny Snell.

700
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 1: Those are my my, my one A and one B.

701
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 1: Take a chance on me, guys, and I've got a

702
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: I've got a B grade on Samuel's. I've got a

703
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: C grade on Benny Snell. Let's go to the passing game.

704
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph's on the bench. He's not good. The Steelers

705
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 1: don't need to pass to beat the Bengals because they're

706
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,280
Speaker 1: so bad against the run. Um. He'll be without Juju

707
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,560
Speaker 1: Smith Schuster for sure. He maybe without Deante Johnson. We

708
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: don't know yet. He was last seen with blood gushing

709
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: out of his ear. It's a like a waterfall of

710
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: blood just shooting out of the ear, like down the

711
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: side of his face. One of you somewhere in between

712
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: those two things. UM, I think he's playable. Assumming get

713
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: through the concussion protocol here. Over the past five weeks,

714
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: the Bengals are allowing the second most yards to wide

715
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 1: receivers two nine per game. Drake Kirkpatrick, there's best cornerback

716
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 1: went on I r a couple of weeks ago. It's

717
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: a nice opportuny to do for Deonte Johnson, assuming he

718
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: goes for James Washington. I think if Juju Misses and

719
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: Johnson are out, you might want to try James Washington here.

720
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: But man, he's he's been mostly disappointing, although showing signs

721
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:17,239
Speaker 1: of life last week. So I do have a C

722
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: grade on James Washington and to see great advance McDonald.

723
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 1: Cincinnati is a terrible tight end defense. Six different tight

724
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 1: ends up top fifty yards over the last two weeks alone.

725
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: They've given up one hundred fifty nine yards and three

726
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: touchdowns two tight ends in the last two weeks. Let's

727
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 1: go to the Cincinnati's side. We've just got a couple

728
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: of startable players, Joe Mixon since benching Andy Dalton, mixing

729
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: his average twenty three rushing attempts and one hundred twenty

730
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:45,280
Speaker 1: seven total yards per game. It doesn't matter how badly

731
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 1: the Bengals are losing, they keep trying to give the

732
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,880
Speaker 1: ball to Joe Mixon and run out the clock to

733
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,719
Speaker 1: end the game quickly. They're they're quietly doing mercy rule here.

734
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: On the other hand, the Steelers haven't allowed of running

735
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,719
Speaker 1: back touchdown in their last five games. That said, big

736
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: volume guys like Marlon Mack and Todd Gurley and Nick

737
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,839
Speaker 1: Chubb val at nice yardage games in that span, So

738
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: all the girl is not always a big volume guy.

739
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 1: But he had a nice game, so there's an opportunity

740
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 1: for mixing. I've got to be great on him. The

741
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 1: only other starting grade is Tyler Boyd. Unhappy with his

742
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: meager three targets last week, he complained about it vociferously,

743
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 1: and you know, more often than not, the squeaky wheel

744
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 1: gets some grease when you're a good player, and Tyler

745
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 1: Boyd's their best receiver, at least the best receiver on

746
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: the fields. J Green is not going again. The Steelers

747
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: pass coverage has softened of late, allowing the fourth most

748
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: touchdowns and fifteenth most yards per game to opposing receivers

749
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,720
Speaker 1: over the last three weeks. Steelers slot corner Mike Hilton

750
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 1: allowing completion rate in his coverage. So I think Boyd

751
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: could get a little something done here, and that's it.

752
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 1: Ryan Finley and the rest of the passing game way

753
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: on the bench. Brian Finley is so much worse than

754
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton. I don't even. I mean, I understand they

755
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 1: want to see what they got in the kid, but

756
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: you know, at some point you think you've seen enough.

757
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: I don't. He's I thought they were gonna give Dalton

758
00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: his job back earlier this week, but the announced they're

759
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: starting family the rest of the year. Although teams do

760
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: that and that's changed their mind when they're they're guys terrible.

761
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: So we'll see about that how long that holds up.

762
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:15,520
Speaker 1: Last matchup of this segment is Carolina taking on New

763
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: Orleans Kyle Allen. I was really high in Kyle Allen

764
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: coming into last weeks. I thought he had played really

765
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: well and he couldn't have looked worse. Well, what you

766
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: need to pay attention to is marsha On Lattimore, the

767
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:30,400
Speaker 1: Saints standout cornerback. He practiced on Friday, but non contact,

768
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: so he didn't Lendsday, didn't practice Thursday, nontact Friday. My hunches.

769
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: He does not play in it, so that that upgrade.

770
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:41,359
Speaker 1: Let's le's assume he plays, but he's not a hundred percent.

771
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll assume he doesn't play. Either way,

772
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:45,879
Speaker 1: he's not a percent, So I'll give Alan a see.

773
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 1: But He's more of like a two quarterback super flex

774
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: play on fan ball. Perhaps the Saints maybe no no,

775
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: no shot shocked it out much of his see he

776
00:40:56,600 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 1: really is. The Saints have surrendered at least two passings

777
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: wars and six of ten games, so Alan, I'll give

778
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: him off see um over to his past catchers d

779
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: J Moore b if Latimore plays. Obviously, if Latimore is

780
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,279
Speaker 1: out ten plus targets in three straight games for DJ more,

781
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,520
Speaker 1: he and Kyle Allen really are clicking. Curtis Samuel not

782
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,800
Speaker 1: clicking this year. He is one of twenty wide receivers

783
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: with at least seventy five targets, but he's been a

784
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: disappointment for the most part. He will likely see a

785
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 1: lot of Eli Apple. Uh. And Samuel did burn Eli

786
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,320
Speaker 1: Apple for a fifty three yard touchdown in the Superdome

787
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,279
Speaker 1: last season or whatever the Dome is called these days.

788
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 1: And uh, Samuel is a burner. Just his fourth game

789
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,160
Speaker 1: in a dome, by the way, this will be so

790
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: I think he'll pop off here. Greg Olsen gets the

791
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,759
Speaker 1: sea in the dead Sea of tight ends, New Orleans

792
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 1: has only allowed one tight end touchdown, but they did

793
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:44,399
Speaker 1: just give up ten catches to Cameron Brait last week

794
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:46,439
Speaker 1: for seventy three yards. So in the waste land, greg

795
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: Olson gets a SEA and Christian McCaffrey probably the closest

796
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,600
Speaker 1: he'll he'll get to a B. But I'm not gonna do.

797
00:41:51,640 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: It's still gonna give him an he can't make. You

798
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: can't get yourself to do. Held to a hundred and

799
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 1: sixty combo yards in the two games against the Saints

800
00:41:57,960 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 1: last season, though did not score. It's the Saints are

801
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: still great against the run against running backs set for

802
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: that uh, The Orlands hasn't give up more than nineteen

803
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 1: receiving yards to weight back over their last four games,

804
00:42:13,480 --> 00:42:15,800
Speaker 1: and only one running back has topped forty rushing yards

805
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 1: during that span, but none of those backs were CMC

806
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:20,919
Speaker 1: and the Saints have yielded the third most red zone

807
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 1: targets for running backs and have surrendered a receiving score

808
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 1: to the position in back to back game. So I'm

809
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,399
Speaker 1: back to an A for Christian McCaffrey. I'm sorry. Charged

810
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 1: over the stain side. Alvin Kamara, he definitely gets an A.

811
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara has played against the Panthers four times in

812
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 1: his career, has only carried the ball thirty five times.

813
00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: In those four games, he scored five touchdowns. Scored in

814
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 1: every game total of five touchdowns. Carolina has allowed twelve

815
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns and running backs over their last six games. Wow, yeah,

816
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:51,359
Speaker 1: this is this fantasy. This might be the worst run

817
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 1: defense in the NFL right now. Never would think could

818
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:55,720
Speaker 1: be the Panthers and never has been in the past.

819
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: And that makes Latavius Marius lamb dunk c probably a B.

820
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: Is well, I'll give him a B here just because

821
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: the matchup is so good and the matchup is always

822
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: so good for Michael Thomas can give him an A here.

823
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 1: Four catches through ten games a new record right now.

824
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins is second with eight one, but he played

825
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,560
Speaker 1: on Thursday night, got extra game under his belt. The

826
00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 1: Panthers have surrendered the most catches to wide receivers this season,

827
00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: so that that math adds up nicely. But I can't

828
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: go to bat for Ted gin or Trey Kwan Smith.

829
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,560
Speaker 1: No other floors are horrifying Jared Cook, It's kind of

830
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 1: a horrifying matchup for him. Caroline has some other deposing

831
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:32,240
Speaker 1: tight ends, having only allowed one touchdown to the position

832
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: since Week ten. Orry Week one and outside George Kittle,

833
00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: no tight end has exceeded four catches or sixty yards,

834
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 1: and Drew Brees barely gets the sea. The last time

835
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 1: Breeds through at least three touchdown passes against Carolina was September.

836
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: The Panthers have allowed zero or one passing touchdowns and

837
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: seven of ten games, and new quarterback has thrown for

838
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,800
Speaker 1: three all season. It's all about running on the Panthers.

839
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,280
Speaker 1: You get ahead, you run, then you just keep running.

840
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,720
Speaker 1: That's the that's the recipe, and that's what's gonna happen here.

841
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: Can we up next? Let answer three tough questions you

842
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 1: can play along, try to go a perfect three and

843
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 1: oh with our panel of experts on Fantasy Football Weekly.

844
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: Don't don't don't don't you really don't? You don't know?

845
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 1: Don't you don't do you? Don't do you? Welcome back

846
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:48,280
Speaker 1: Fantasy Bob, Always, Play'm Pulse, Archie and fanball dot Com.

847
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 1: My co hosts are Christian Peterson and Brian Johnson. All right, guys,

848
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 1: it's uh time to roll up our sleeves. So three

849
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,360
Speaker 1: tough questions listeners you can play along. See if you

850
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 1: can go three and oh off Question number one, the

851
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,760
Speaker 1: schedule for the Cowboys turns tough beginning this week. How

852
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 1: worried should Cowboy owners be a not at all, be

853
00:45:13,160 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 1: somewhat nervous, or see a bowl loosening level of existential dread.

854
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: We begin with Brian Johnson. Alright, so this week it's

855
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 1: at New England and Buffalo, at Chicago, Rams at home,

856
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: then at Philly, and according to Fantasy Pros, that is

857
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,760
Speaker 1: the fourth hardest remaining schedule for running backs, the third

858
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: hardest for wide receivers, and the second hardest for quarterbacks.

859
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:38,800
Speaker 1: Of course, some of these matchups are better for the

860
00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,839
Speaker 1: running backs and they are for the wide receivers and such,

861
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,720
Speaker 1: so I don't I'm just got to say somewhat nervous

862
00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: because it's a mixed bag of bad matchups but good

863
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 1: for something. It depends who you're talking about. But there

864
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 1: are a lot of almost stoppers at certain position points here,

865
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 1: so I'll say somewhat nervous. I also said somewhat nervous

866
00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: like you. I went and looked at the at the

867
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 1: schedule and New England, Buffalo and Chicago in the next

868
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:04,799
Speaker 1: three weeks, those are those are the real issues here

869
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 1: in New England is number one against just about everything.

870
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 1: Buffalo is number two or three against just about every

871
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 1: position in Chicago. Uh. You mentioned in the matchup they're

872
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 1: having a little more trouble against running backs, but but

873
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:18,799
Speaker 1: against the past they are elite level two. So it

874
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: maybe depends a little bit on what your fantasy playoff

875
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:25,879
Speaker 1: prognosis is right now. I'd be a little bit more

876
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,479
Speaker 1: nervous if I was at like five hundred and trying

877
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 1: to scrape into the playoffs, because the next three are

878
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:34,719
Speaker 1: pretty tough. The Rams and Philly in weeks fifteen and sixteen,

879
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 1: they're not easy, but they're more middle of the road,

880
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: so I'm less nervous about those. So overall, again, it

881
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 1: depends if you're on easy street going into the playoffs,

882
00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 1: I'm not that worried. If you're struggling to get in

883
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:50,520
Speaker 1: right now, then then I'm pretty somewhat okay. All right, Um,

884
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,719
Speaker 1: here's the passing touchdowns per game allowed over the next

885
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:56,439
Speaker 1: for the next four opponents, passing touchdowns allowed per game

886
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:02,480
Speaker 1: zero point four, zero point eight, zero point nine, and

887
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: one point two. That's Dak Prescott on you know you're

888
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,720
Speaker 1: hoping for one touchdown per game if everything, if everything

889
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,279
Speaker 1: had you're if you get one per game, You've outscored

890
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 1: most quarterbacks against these teams. Here's the rushing touchdowns per

891
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: game over the next month allowed for Ezekiel Elliott zero

892
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: point one per game, zero point eight per game, one

893
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: per game, and zero point six. Again, if you can

894
00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,800
Speaker 1: get to one, you're far outpacing with These defenses usually

895
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:38,719
Speaker 1: give up to opposing running backs. The key here we're

896
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:42,760
Speaker 1: heading into the playoffs. One bad game. If you get

897
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: the dud from Zeke, if you get the dud from Dak,

898
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:52,280
Speaker 1: your seasons over. And that is why the remaining schedule

899
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:56,280
Speaker 1: for the Cowboys should give you a bowl loosening level

900
00:47:56,320 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 1: of existential dread. For many of you. Your your trading

901
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 1: deadline is coming up in a a matter of hours. This

902
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 1: is your last best chance to move your Cowboys. Do

903
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 1: it tough. Question Number two, can fantasy owners just dropped

904
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: James Conner Christian I'm gonna say no. Uh. The injury

905
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,279
Speaker 1: is obviously worrisome here. It's an a C joint sprain

906
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 1: and the shoulder. The Steelers somewhat strange, they're treating this

907
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 1: somewhat strangely. They kind they're kind of saying that he's

908
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 1: day to day. They clearly brought him back to early

909
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,359
Speaker 1: last week because he reinjured it. But then this week

910
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 1: they didn't really rule him out until very late in

911
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 1: the week on Friday. So it doesn't seem like it's

912
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,319
Speaker 1: a super serious injury. But at the same time, I'm

913
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:45,959
Speaker 1: not going to trust him for at least a couple

914
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 1: of a couple of weeks, but weeks fifteen and sixteen,

915
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:51,239
Speaker 1: I still want him in case he gets back to

916
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:56,359
Speaker 1: full health. They have, Yeah, Buffalo, that that's that's a

917
00:48:56,360 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 1: tough matchup. But but Jets run defense has but awesome

918
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,320
Speaker 1: all year. They have, but nobody else has really established

919
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 1: themselves here for Pittsburgh. Jalen Samuels can't run the ball,

920
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,880
Speaker 1: he can catch the ball. I just think Connor was

921
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 1: an absolute work horse when he was healthy. He's a

922
00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 1: top ten running back when healthy. I'm not gonna just

923
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: outright drop him. I need I need to hold onto

924
00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:18,960
Speaker 1: him in case it comes back to So no, do

925
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 1: not drop him, all right, And Brian, what are you saying.

926
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say no, but for different reasons. I'm just

927
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 1: gonna hold them in hopes that he plays against the

928
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: Browns next week. With all the suspensions and whatnot they have,

929
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 1: but Arizona and Week fourteen, tough matchup Bills and Jets.

930
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:34,879
Speaker 1: The Jets are We'll get getting to that matchup later.

931
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: They're really good run defense. Now, I don't know if

932
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:39,720
Speaker 1: i'd be confident starting James Conner in those bad matchups.

933
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,360
Speaker 1: James Conner doesn't even finish half the games he starts.

934
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:45,319
Speaker 1: It seems like he always gets no, you know which

935
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 1: side you said? I don't know said, and then he

936
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: gave nothing but reasons to drop him. But no, not

937
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 1: because of the Browns. Even in case he plays, I'll

938
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 1: start him next week. So no, all right, should have

939
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:01,359
Speaker 1: dropped him weeks ago, that's answer. He's been on the

940
00:50:01,400 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 1: injury report. James Connor has been on the injury report

941
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:07,840
Speaker 1: every week of the season. This week he did, he

942
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:09,480
Speaker 1: got ruled out on Friday. He didn't even make it

943
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 1: the game time decision this week when he comes back.

944
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,839
Speaker 1: How do you start James Conner not knowing if he's

945
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,200
Speaker 1: gonna make it out of the first quarter. And the

946
00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:22,759
Speaker 1: Steelers can't possibly be so delusional that they still view

947
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 1: James Connor as a workhorse. Come on, I know they

948
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:32,600
Speaker 1: want their workhorse backs, but obviously it can't be James Connor.

949
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: He's proven it every way possible for over a year.

950
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 1: What's more, this offense is in reverse. Mason Rudolph is

951
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,400
Speaker 1: so bad you can't trust him to get past the

952
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:47,640
Speaker 1: fifty yard line and any given drive. And lastly, on

953
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 1: James Conner and another reason, you could just dagger him

954
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 1: right now, do they just shut him down at some point?

955
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 1: I mean there are five and five team if they

956
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,239
Speaker 1: lose two out of the next three or whatever, that

957
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 1: shut just down, just just stop now with the charade

958
00:51:02,840 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 1: of James Conner. They're gonna beat the Bengals and then

959
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna play you know that. Do you know Mason

960
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 1: Rodolph can beat the Bengals. No, but I don't either.

961
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:12,840
Speaker 1: And then they got Cleveland after that, and you know

962
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 1: that's I think they could easily lose one of those

963
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 1: two and then maybe they lose an next one of

964
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 1: that's over seasons done. James Conner. So bitter about James Conner, Well,

965
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 1: I'm really not. You had him as you had him

966
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:28,799
Speaker 1: as like that, You're sea coming into the year and

967
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: here he is a top ten fantasy. I so nailed

968
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 1: I so nailed. The shade on James Conner in the preseason.

969
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:43,400
Speaker 1: It's like eight weeks for you to be right weeks Connor.

970
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:46,239
Speaker 1: Connor has not been anywhere close to a top ten

971
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: running back from the majority of this year. Ali's Ali

972
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:51,800
Speaker 1: does is give you headaches and frustration. Question number three

973
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:56,800
Speaker 1: is Courtland Sutton a top five fantasy wide receiver? Brian

974
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 1: all right, if we're talking top five, you were talking

975
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas, DeAndre Hopkins, Julio Jones, Mark Cooper, Mike Evans,

976
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:07,880
Speaker 1: Tyreek Kill, Odell Beckham, Still, Chris Godwin, Davante Adams. Sutton

977
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:10,040
Speaker 1: would probably be right with those guys, if not for

978
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: the quarterback situation in Denver, which is just awful. I

979
00:52:13,080 --> 00:52:16,760
Speaker 1: got lock it in tier with uh, you know, Tyler Lockett,

980
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: Kenny Golladay, Dealing, Dealing Diggs. He leads. Sutton leads that

981
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:22,279
Speaker 1: pack when it comes to dynasty though, by the way,

982
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:24,719
Speaker 1: and probably Redraft. But he's wide receiver eight or nine

983
00:52:24,760 --> 00:52:26,320
Speaker 1: from me right now. But if they get a quarterback

984
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 1: in Denver, watch out because he is legit. But he's

985
00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 1: outside the top five for me as of right now.

986
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 1: All Right, I think you're just smitten after watching Sutton

987
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:37,360
Speaker 1: carve up the Vikings secondary of this past week, a

988
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:42,240
Speaker 1: Vikings secondary that, by the way, everybody onfl but overall,

989
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,720
Speaker 1: he's just right now in a in a standard scoring system,

990
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 1: he's the number sixteen wide receiver. From a fantasy perspective,

991
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:50,120
Speaker 1: he has just two yard games last week was the

992
00:52:50,200 --> 00:52:52,839
Speaker 1: second of the year, just four touchdowns, and then Brian

993
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:54,960
Speaker 1: hit on it as well with Brandon Allen there, you

994
00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,760
Speaker 1: just can't depend on him as as as really anywhere

995
00:52:57,760 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: near a top five guy. I've got him outside probably

996
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 1: on in the twelve range, not even close to top five.

997
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:06,839
Speaker 1: That's interesting, almost made a top seven because I thought

998
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:08,360
Speaker 1: that was a lot closer to where he has going

999
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:13,880
Speaker 1: to be. A tougher question. Yeah, that's crazy. Uh, here's why.

1000
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:17,440
Speaker 1: Above all else, you want your you want your players

1001
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 1: to not dagger your own team. And what Courtland Sutton

1002
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 1: does really well is no bad games. Since Week two,

1003
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:28,680
Speaker 1: his worst game is a seventy three yard scoreless game.

1004
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 1: That's his worst game for Courtland Sutton. His average game

1005
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 1: is eighty one yards and a coin flips chance at

1006
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:41,799
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Eighty one yards is well. Who else, by

1007
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:43,400
Speaker 1: the way, is eighty one yards and a coin flips

1008
00:53:43,440 --> 00:53:49,239
Speaker 1: chance and a touchdown. Well, that's Julio Jones. That's that's

1009
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:52,840
Speaker 1: actually more yards than Tyler Lockett gives you. Although Locket's

1010
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 1: got two more touchdowns, it's more yards than Tyler Lockett. Quietly,

1011
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton is in conversation with these guys in terms

1012
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: of production. I know it's not name recognition. He's not

1013
00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,400
Speaker 1: he's is he Julio Jones? No, of course that we

1014
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:11,920
Speaker 1: talk about Ulio Jones a receiver for day years. But

1015
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 1: from a production standpoint, Courtland Sutton is not that far

1016
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:18,399
Speaker 1: off of these guys. And if I said, right now,

1017
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:22,319
Speaker 1: you could have Courtland Sutton or Tyreek Hill. Given the

1018
00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:25,600
Speaker 1: injury situation with Tyreek Hill, that's I think that's a

1019
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 1: trickier conversation to have. All that said, he's still not

1020
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:32,719
Speaker 1: a top five guy, so you're right, he's not top five,

1021
00:54:33,080 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 1: but he's close's closer than we think. I think it's

1022
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 1: a startup. Empire might be a startup you might be in.

1023
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:42,479
Speaker 1: You're in an Empire league, you're in a dynasty league.

1024
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 1: I think it would make sense. I'm just rubbing it

1025
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:48,799
Speaker 1: into CEP traded Sutting to meet earlier in the season. Really, well,

1026
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:52,279
Speaker 1: what do you get well, yeah, I mean, you know

1027
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:54,399
Speaker 1: it was. It was. Actually it would take a hold.

1028
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 1: It would take us fifteen minutes to analyze it. I'm

1029
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 1: speaking of what's gonna take fifteen music good deal. Dallas

1030
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 1: taking on the Patriots could take fifteen minutes. Because this

1031
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 1: is the thorn thorny matchup. It's thorny, made even thornier

1032
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:11,319
Speaker 1: by the fact that it came out today that half

1033
00:55:11,360 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 1: the Cowboys team is suffering from the flu late in

1034
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 1: the week. So that's something to keep an eye on.

1035
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 1: Although none of the none of the A players here,

1036
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 1: none of the fantasy players were really mentioned. They gave

1037
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:25,719
Speaker 1: Dack some kind of magic medicine, right, the medicine. The

1038
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:28,080
Speaker 1: Beat writers came out with this tweet that said, you know,

1039
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:30,760
Speaker 1: six players are affected by the flu, but don't worry.

1040
00:55:30,920 --> 00:55:35,719
Speaker 1: They gave Dak and they found a way to cure

1041
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 1: the flu before it even happens, apparently for Dak, But anyways,

1042
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 1: keep an eye on that. Anybody else also keep an

1043
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:45,880
Speaker 1: eye on. It's just so weird because all of the

1044
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:49,400
Speaker 1: Cowboys players have been really, really good, but the Patriots

1045
00:55:49,400 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 1: defense is insanely good. So I basically took all the

1046
00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 1: grades that I would have given the Cowboys and knocked

1047
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 1: them down a full full letter grade. So Prescott has

1048
00:55:57,000 --> 00:55:59,360
Speaker 1: a B instead of an A because the Patriots have

1049
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 1: allowed just four passing touchdowns all year long. We know

1050
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 1: how great Dak Prescott has been. He'd be an A

1051
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:08,720
Speaker 1: under any other circumstances, but a B here, A Marii Cooper,

1052
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:11,319
Speaker 1: I've got him at a B. He is battling through

1053
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 1: knee and ankle injuries, held in check by Darius Slay

1054
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:17,880
Speaker 1: last week with just three catches. This week's matchup maybe

1055
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 1: even tougher against Stephon Gilmore. Per Pro Football Focus, Gilmore

1056
00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 1: is allowing just forty five percent completions UH on passes

1057
00:56:25,200 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 1: thrown his well his way. He's held opposing wide receivers

1058
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:31,200
Speaker 1: to averages of just thirty five yards, and none have scored. Really,

1059
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 1: really tough matchup for Cooper here, normally an A. I

1060
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:36,600
Speaker 1: gave him a B here because of that matchup. Michael Gallup,

1061
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 1: Let's give him a C. Targeted twenty nine times in

1062
00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:42,520
Speaker 1: three in his last three games, touchdowns in consecutive games

1063
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:44,560
Speaker 1: before going off for a hundred and forty eight yards

1064
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:49,279
Speaker 1: last week. Well, Unfortunately he draws cornerback Jason mccordy, a

1065
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 1: lesser name than Gilmore, but according to Pro Football Focus,

1066
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 1: he's even better. He's allowed just twenty four point six

1067
00:56:55,360 --> 00:56:58,239
Speaker 1: so he's also very good. Only one wide receiver is

1068
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 1: top to even seventy eight yards against the Patriots and

1069
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 1: only one have scored, so again, a tough tough matchup

1070
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:07,239
Speaker 1: for the wide receivers here. Jason Witten tight ends have

1071
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:09,880
Speaker 1: scored three times in the last three games against the Patriots.

1072
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:11,719
Speaker 1: That appears to be how people are moving the ball,

1073
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:15,360
Speaker 1: and Witten has twenty one targets and fifteen catches in

1074
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 1: the last three games, so maybe that's how they're going

1075
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 1: to move the ball here. Of the touchdowns given up

1076
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:23,440
Speaker 1: by the Patriots have been to the tight ends, So

1077
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 1: a c C grade out here on Witten. As much

1078
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 1: as he don't love him, Ezekiel Elliott, let's give him

1079
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 1: a B. He's been struggling in recent weeks, held under

1080
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 1: three yards per carry by both the Vikings and the

1081
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 1: Lions in his last two games, and by the way,

1082
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 1: injure both injury depleted Vikings and Lions defensive lines all right,

1083
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:42,840
Speaker 1: and the Patriots they allow over four yards per carry,

1084
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:45,520
Speaker 1: but only one running back has scored against them. On

1085
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 1: the other hand, Nick Chubb did go for a hundred

1086
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 1: and thirty one yards against them two weeks ago, mark

1087
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 1: Ingram a hundred and fifteen last week, so they can

1088
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:54,640
Speaker 1: be beat on the ground, and it feels like that's

1089
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 1: the way Dallas is going to try to move the

1090
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:58,520
Speaker 1: ball here, So b grade on Ezekiel Elliott. I know

1091
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:00,560
Speaker 1: this is already a long thorny match up, but let

1092
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:02,920
Speaker 1: me just enter jack. The Tony Pollard came in with

1093
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 1: it and had a couple of touches that look really

1094
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 1: really good. I and the way that Zeke is struggling,

1095
00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 1: you know, Tony should already be rostered and somebody sharing

1096
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 1: to be handcuffing him at this time of year. But

1097
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:15,720
Speaker 1: if he's not, Tony Pollard makes a lot of sense

1098
00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 1: to be if we get an uptick and Tony Pollard's

1099
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:21,640
Speaker 1: usage undefeated, when he has like six or seven touches

1100
00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:24,640
Speaker 1: or something, they just they use him. They win. So

1101
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 1: but he had just twelve snaps last week, he had

1102
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:30,040
Speaker 1: four catches and the nice and the nice touchdown. But yeah,

1103
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 1: he's on He's on your bench for now until they

1104
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:32,960
Speaker 1: prove that they're going to use them more. On the

1105
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 1: Patriots side, Tom Brady. Just to see starting grade here.

1106
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 1: Only one quarterback has thrown for more than twitter and

1107
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 1: thirty eight yards against the Cowboys since Week one. None

1108
00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 1: have thrown more than two touchdowns, and Brady just quite

1109
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 1: frankly hasn't been very good in the last five or

1110
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 1: six games. Just to see here, Julian Edelman is an

1111
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 1: a basically on volume alone. He is a target hog

1112
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 1: double digit targets in five straight games. And the Cowboys

1113
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:59,320
Speaker 1: are vulnerable to slot wide receivers, having yielded a seventy

1114
00:58:59,360 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 1: three percent completion rate on slot targets this year. So

1115
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:05,480
Speaker 1: Edelman is in the rest of the receiving corps is

1116
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:08,080
Speaker 1: really banged up. Mohammed Sanum may or may not play.

1117
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 1: He's officially questionable. Same with Philip dor Set battling through

1118
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:14,400
Speaker 1: a concussion. Maybe to keep an eye on rookie to

1119
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:16,920
Speaker 1: Keel Harry, who played pretty well last week in his

1120
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 1: first game after since coming off. I r but nothing

1121
00:59:20,360 --> 00:59:23,439
Speaker 1: to see here at the at receiver beyond Edelman. I'm

1122
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 1: not gonna dig deep enough for Ben Watson here at

1123
00:59:25,600 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 1: tight end. That brings us to the Sony Walkman. I

1124
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:33,960
Speaker 1: gave him a C letter starting grade here forty two

1125
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:36,080
Speaker 1: yards or less than three of the last four scoreless

1126
00:59:36,080 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 1: in three straight. The numbers aren't good, but Dallas allows

1127
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 1: over four yards per carry and nine running back touchdowns

1128
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 1: in ten games, so maybe a short touchdown here is

1129
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 1: what you're hoping for from Walkman. And also, by the way,

1130
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 1: linebacker Layton Vandersch, one of their leading tacklers, one of

1131
00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:54,280
Speaker 1: their best players out for this one with a neck injury.

1132
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:56,440
Speaker 1: James White is the guy that you want to look at, though,

1133
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 1: because the Cowboys are more susceptible to pass catching backs.

1134
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones had seven catches against them, se Kwon Barkley six,

1135
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:06,360
Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook seven. So James White I gave a B

1136
01:00:06,680 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 1: starting grade two. Right, that's a that's a beefy matchup

1137
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 1: right there. As we like to say, what do you

1138
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 1: give Antonio Brown if they if the Patriots they signed

1139
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 1: him again and him off of Instagram or whatever, and

1140
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:22,400
Speaker 1: there's could happen. Who knows. Every week you can play

Speaker 1: weekend back Fantasy Football Weekly. Fantasy Football Weekly returns and

1151
01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 1: we are diving back into the matchups. But first, did

1154
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:23,600
Speaker 1: four right ends yeah, or for or for running back.

1155
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:28,200
Speaker 1: Most importantly, you start zero team defense. Yeah, this whole

1156
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:31,240
Speaker 1: team defense thing and in DFS has gotta go. Um,

1157
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:34,120
Speaker 1: that's a whole different story. Let's talk about Detroit taking

1158
01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 1: on Washington. It's kind of a dog mud game, but

1159
01:01:36,440 --> 01:01:39,400
Speaker 1: there are some opportunities, particularly on the Lions side, where

1160
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 1: already gave you Jeff Driscolls might take a chance on

1161
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:44,040
Speaker 1: the quarterback I really like him. Kenny Golladay gets a

1162
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 1: straight up a. He runs the majority of his routes

1163
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 1: on Josh Norman's side. Of the field. Norman's been roasted

1164
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:54,480
Speaker 1: for seven touchdowns in his coverage. That's I believe the

1165
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 1: worst in the league. And get this, seven touchdowns on

1166
01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:03,080
Speaker 1: forty five passes defended. That's it. How do you do that?

1167
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 1: How are you giving up a touchdown every eight passes

1168
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:09,760
Speaker 1: that comes your way? That's ridiculous. You get paid and

1169
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 1: then that comes your way. I'm doing some multiplication now.

1170
01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:17,400
Speaker 1: Uh So, Kenny Golladay and a grade. Danny Amendola gets

1171
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:19,840
Speaker 1: a startable grade with a SEA and I almost gave

1172
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:22,800
Speaker 1: him a b Other slot receivers have done very well

1173
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:25,480
Speaker 1: here he gets. Fabian Moreau is his coverage cornerback. He's

1174
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:28,960
Speaker 1: not very good. We saw Jamison Crowder score touchdown, Cole

1175
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:33,840
Speaker 1: Beasley score touchdown, Julian Edelman score touchdown from the slot position.

1176
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:37,200
Speaker 1: There's a great opportunity for Danny Amendola as a dart

1177
01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:39,920
Speaker 1: throw in the final bye week of the year. Marvin

1178
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,640
Speaker 1: Jones though, just to see grade and really might want

1179
01:02:42,680 --> 01:02:46,320
Speaker 1: to be on the bench. He runs about fifty percent

1180
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:49,560
Speaker 1: of his snaps up against Quinton Dunbar. That is a

1181
01:02:49,600 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 1: tough matchup. Dunbar is a great cornerback, quietly one of

1182
01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:55,000
Speaker 1: the better corner young quarterbacks in the league. And I

1183
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 1: don't love Jones here, but he doesn't want all of

1184
01:02:56,680 --> 01:02:59,120
Speaker 1: his snaps against dun Bar, so he is still startable

1185
01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:02,280
Speaker 1: with a C. Gray aid, let's go to boast Scarborough. Oh,

1186
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:04,280
Speaker 1: by the way, while we're in the passing game, t J.

1187
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:07,440
Speaker 1: Hockenson is it got. It's a decent matchup with Washington,

1188
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:11,200
Speaker 1: but yeah, just not enough usage for Hockinson. He's just

1189
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 1: not seeing enough balls. As we well. Ryan Griffin had

1190
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:15,920
Speaker 1: the big game last week. Before that, they hadn't allowed

1191
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 1: a tight end to go over sixty yards and that

1192
01:03:17,680 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 1: included Ingram George Kittle. All the more reason to keep

1193
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:23,840
Speaker 1: t J. Hockenson on the bench. Both Scarborough gets a

1194
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 1: C grade here. Washington has allowed rushing touchdowns in six

1195
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:30,240
Speaker 1: of the past seven. They've also given up at least

1196
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 1: a hundred ten yards two runners in four straight games.

1197
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:34,640
Speaker 1: Both Scarborough will get most of the work here, but

1198
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna see a rotation of guys again just to

1199
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 1: see grade for Scarborough. And it's unclear who will get

1200
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:42,200
Speaker 1: the any goal line carries, but I think it would

1201
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:44,760
Speaker 1: be him. So that might be your best chance here

1202
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:47,160
Speaker 1: is to get a goal line carry at a Boat Scarborough.

1203
01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:49,080
Speaker 1: On the Washington side, there's only two guys that you

1204
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 1: care about two and a half. Adrian Peterson may or

1205
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:54,000
Speaker 1: may not go. He's probably shaping up as a game

1206
01:03:54,040 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 1: time decision with his toe injury to not practice Wednesday

1207
01:03:56,440 --> 01:04:01,120
Speaker 1: or Thursday if he on Friday. Darius Guy is tempting

1208
01:04:01,120 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 1: because he had the eye popping touchdown reception, But what

1209
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:07,200
Speaker 1: people don't realize is he also carried the ball seven

1210
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:10,160
Speaker 1: times and only put up twenty four yards on the

1211
01:04:10,200 --> 01:04:15,040
Speaker 1: ground last week and couldn't really even hold off Windell Smallwood.

1212
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:17,440
Speaker 1: No right when all Smallwood in the mix way more

1213
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:20,080
Speaker 1: than he ever should have been. Now, the Lions have

1214
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:23,280
Speaker 1: given up the second most running back touchdowns in the league,

1215
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:25,520
Speaker 1: so there is an opportunity for guys here. But I'll

1216
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:27,880
Speaker 1: note that the Lions run defense has been better the

1217
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:30,760
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks with Mike Daniels back at defensive tackles.

1218
01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 1: So guys were just a C grade, and if Adrian

1219
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:37,040
Speaker 1: Peterson is active, then honestly, I think I might just

1220
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:40,400
Speaker 1: sit both of them. Then. Terry McLaren's the only other

1221
01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:42,200
Speaker 1: guy that you care about. He has a C grade.

1222
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 1: He draws Darius Slay probably who held him Marie Cooper

1223
01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:48,960
Speaker 1: in check. Slays very good for the most part. He's

1224
01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 1: shut down a bunch of good receivers this year. Now.

1225
01:04:52,040 --> 01:04:54,840
Speaker 1: McLaren moved to the slot a lot more last week.

1226
01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:57,840
Speaker 1: He ran his place from the slot last week, and

1227
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:01,360
Speaker 1: Darius Slay does not go to the slot, So Washington

1228
01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:05,080
Speaker 1: could keep using McLaurin in the slot to draw better

1229
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:08,000
Speaker 1: coverage and avoid Slay. And that's why he has a

1230
01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:11,240
Speaker 1: C grade in this matchup. Let's go to Oakland taking

1231
01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:14,920
Speaker 1: on the Jets. Brian for the Raiders, it's a tricky

1232
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:17,240
Speaker 1: matchup for Josh Jacobs, who has been so good you

1233
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:20,200
Speaker 1: just play him every week. But the Jets defense against

1234
01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 1: the run has been sneaky great, and they're so bad

1235
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:25,800
Speaker 1: against the past, and you feel like this is gonna

1236
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:28,640
Speaker 1: be a Derek Carr led offense. Yeah, you kind of do,

1237
01:05:28,760 --> 01:05:30,840
Speaker 1: but you still gotta play Jacobs. But you really have

1238
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:35,040
Speaker 1: to temporar your expectations soft be here for Josh Jacobs.

1239
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:36,920
Speaker 1: Jets very tough against the run. Like you said, they

1240
01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:39,560
Speaker 1: are ranked second by Football Outsiders against the run, and

1241
01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 1: imposing running backs are averaging just a tick over three

1242
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:45,040
Speaker 1: yards per carry. That said, the Jets have yielded the

1243
01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:47,480
Speaker 1: third most red zone touches to running backs of this year,

1244
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:49,760
Speaker 1: and the Raiders should be able to move the ball

1245
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:52,200
Speaker 1: through the air against New York. And that's why Tyrelle

1246
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:56,080
Speaker 1: Williams gets an a Jets have allowed well before the

1247
01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:59,160
Speaker 1: redskin receivers didn't score a touchdown last week. They touchdown

1248
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 1: a verse redskin. The three games prior, the Jets have

1249
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:05,520
Speaker 1: allowed ten wide receiver touchdowns. So I'm liking Tyrrelle Williams

1250
01:06:05,520 --> 01:06:08,160
Speaker 1: and this one um. Also like in Hunter Renfro, New

1251
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:10,600
Speaker 1: York has conceded big games to wide receivers on the

1252
01:06:10,720 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 1: same team. Just ask the Patriots, Jaguards, Dolphins, and Giants.

1253
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 1: Renfro has at least four catches in four straight and

1254
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:19,320
Speaker 1: has scored twice in that span. Safe c for Hunter,

1255
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:26,840
Speaker 1: Darren Waller, Foster Moreau. Foster Moreau now has more touchdowns

1256
01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:31,760
Speaker 1: than Darren Waller. So wrong, so painful. But Waller Whiller

1257
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 1: is gonna find the end zone this week. Book it.

1258
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:35,439
Speaker 1: Even though the Jets have only allowed just two tight

1259
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:38,760
Speaker 1: end touchdowns all season, the majority of the opposition has

1260
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:41,560
Speaker 1: been garbage good to great tight ends. That faredwell against

1261
01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:44,160
Speaker 1: New York. Mike Kasecki had six catches for ninety five

1262
01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:46,280
Speaker 1: yards and Zach ERT's had five catches for fifty seven

1263
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:48,200
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown against New York. Those were like

1264
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:49,640
Speaker 1: the only two tight ends they faced all years. So

1265
01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give Waller in a here and Derek Carr

1266
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 1: and give him an a too. I'm still always a

1267
01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:55,720
Speaker 1: little nervous when the West Coast team goes east to

1268
01:06:55,760 --> 01:06:58,640
Speaker 1: play the early game, but the matchup is just two ripe.

1269
01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 1: Over the last four games, Jets have allowed to combine

1270
01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:04,880
Speaker 1: twelve touchdown passes did Gardner, Minshew, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Daniel Jones,

1271
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:08,000
Speaker 1: and Dwyane Haskins. And the Jets run defense is just

1272
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:10,800
Speaker 1: so good. Like you said, charge Oakland probably gets funneled

1273
01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:12,840
Speaker 1: to the pass and throws more often than they have

1274
01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:17,080
Speaker 1: all season. Over to the Jets. Levian Bell, be grudgingly

1275
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:19,400
Speaker 1: going to give him a B, mentioned in take Coom

1276
01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:21,880
Speaker 1: that his Snapp percentage has plummeted from the nineties to

1277
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:25,200
Speaker 1: the sixties um But after stuffing the run for most

1278
01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:27,600
Speaker 1: of the season, Oakland has allowed over five yards per

1279
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:30,320
Speaker 1: carry over the last three games against battle Lines and

1280
01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:33,040
Speaker 1: leadbacks have scored in back to back weeks, so I'll

1281
01:07:33,080 --> 01:07:36,000
Speaker 1: give Levan bella be here. And before the Bengals game

1282
01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:38,080
Speaker 1: last week, I mentioned this in takeom To. The Raiders

1283
01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:40,320
Speaker 1: had allowed at least one receiving touchdown to a running

1284
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:42,240
Speaker 1: back in fourth straight games, So Balal Powell is might

1285
01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:44,280
Speaker 1: take a chance on me running back. He also looks

1286
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 1: like the best running back on the team right now.

1287
01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:48,960
Speaker 1: We'll see if he usurups Bell. He just might. Jameson

1288
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:52,720
Speaker 1: Crowder can give him an a been red hot five catches,

1289
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:55,160
Speaker 1: at least five catches for seventy plus yards and a

1290
01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:58,720
Speaker 1: touchdown in three straight games. He's only twenty six years old,

1291
01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:01,920
Speaker 1: by the way, younger than Tyler lock It. Wow. Yeah

1292
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 1: yeah uh. Tyler Boyd inexplicably wet the bed against the

1293
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:08,640
Speaker 1: Raiders last week. But outside of that, the Raiders have

1294
01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:11,480
Speaker 1: been a dream matchup for slot receivers. The Oakland's other

1295
01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 1: nine games, slot receivers have targeted ten plus targets, seven

1296
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:17,360
Speaker 1: plus catches and eighty eight yards, and they scored six

1297
01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:19,960
Speaker 1: total touchdowns on those nine games slot receivers. That is

1298
01:08:19,960 --> 01:08:23,160
Speaker 1: so A for Jameson Crowder, a C for Robbie Anderson

1299
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:25,800
Speaker 1: though one or two catches and five of his last

1300
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:28,640
Speaker 1: seven games just been absolutely brutal. But this could be

1301
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:31,640
Speaker 1: a spike week for Robbie. The Raiders are allowing more

1302
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:33,719
Speaker 1: than a hundred and seventy five yards and a touchdown

1303
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 1: per game to opposing wide receivers. But I really like

1304
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:39,400
Speaker 1: him more in daily uh as a daily play on Famble.

1305
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:41,880
Speaker 1: I wouldn't trust him in a seasonal line up. Um,

1306
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:44,360
Speaker 1: and the Raiders have also been very generous to opposing

1307
01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:46,600
Speaker 1: tight ends. That's why Ryan Griffin was CPS take a

1308
01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:49,559
Speaker 1: chance on the receiver. And with all these starting grades

1309
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:53,200
Speaker 1: of receivers, I'm gonna give Sam Donald an easy be here. Um.

1310
01:08:53,280 --> 01:08:55,840
Speaker 1: Nearly eight percent of the touchdowns surrendered by the Raiders

1311
01:08:55,920 --> 01:08:58,120
Speaker 1: have come through the air. And before the Bengals game

1312
01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:01,040
Speaker 1: last week, I got mentioned again. Oak has conceded passing

1313
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:04,519
Speaker 1: touchdown totals of two, three, three, five, two and three.

1314
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:06,960
Speaker 1: That's a lot. What does that spell? What dirty words?

1315
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:12,760
Speaker 1: That spell? That's not Let's go to our next match

1316
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:15,800
Speaker 1: of Baltimore taking on the Los Angeles Rams. This it's

1317
01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:19,080
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. You have to start him. The Rams defense

1318
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:23,040
Speaker 1: is really good, is shaping up into being really good,

1319
01:09:23,360 --> 01:09:27,440
Speaker 1: and they're giving up the fewest rushing yards two quarterbacks,

1320
01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:29,360
Speaker 1: just four and a half yards per game on the

1321
01:09:29,360 --> 01:09:31,760
Speaker 1: ground to opposing quarterbacks. What do you think of all

1322
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:34,839
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson in this one? Well, they haven't played anybody

1323
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:38,559
Speaker 1: like Lamar Jackson. There is nobody like Lamar Jackson. Yeah.

1324
01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:40,559
Speaker 1: I mean the first quarterback in history to run for

1325
01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:43,280
Speaker 1: sixty plus yards and seven straight games, also has five

1326
01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:46,800
Speaker 1: rushing scores in that same span. He's also thrown for

1327
01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:49,280
Speaker 1: at least three touchdowns four time. I mean, he's he's met.

1328
01:09:49,320 --> 01:09:51,040
Speaker 1: He's as matchup proof as they come. If you can

1329
01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:52,600
Speaker 1: stop him on the ground, he can probably do it

1330
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:55,759
Speaker 1: through the air. So you can interrupt a second first

1331
01:09:55,880 --> 01:10:00,800
Speaker 1: round you go next year, next August first round? Are

1332
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:03,000
Speaker 1: we gonna have a quarterback taken Lamar Jackson in one

1333
01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:05,920
Speaker 1: quarterback leagues? You're talking about in one quarterback leagues and

1334
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:09,599
Speaker 1: one quarterback leagues. Will Lamar Jackson be a first round

1335
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:12,400
Speaker 1: pick next year? He? I think he very well could be.

1336
01:10:12,479 --> 01:10:14,160
Speaker 1: I don't have the stat in front of me, but

1337
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:16,519
Speaker 1: I saw somebody tweeted it out earlier today. The list

1338
01:10:16,520 --> 01:10:20,519
Speaker 1: of running backs that Lamar Jackson has more it's like

1339
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:24,040
Speaker 1: every yeah, I mean it's again, it's the old thing

1340
01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:26,120
Speaker 1: where you're getting a running back in a quarterback all

1341
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:28,240
Speaker 1: in one. And so you're going we're going to be

1342
01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:30,800
Speaker 1: talking next August mark my words in the twenty six

1343
01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:34,679
Speaker 1: year Fantasy Football Weekly about whether or not Lamar Jackson

1344
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:38,040
Speaker 1: should be the first first taken, not first round first,

1345
01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:42,599
Speaker 1: there will be an argument, you're right, continue I will.

1346
01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:46,160
Speaker 1: Let's continue with the wide receivers who are all on

1347
01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:48,559
Speaker 1: the bench. You know, Marquis Brown had a couple of

1348
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:52,000
Speaker 1: great games early in the year, but only one Baltimore

1349
01:10:52,040 --> 01:10:54,920
Speaker 1: wide receiver has even topped sixty one yards since that

1350
01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:56,880
Speaker 1: big game in Week one. They just aren't throwing it

1351
01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:58,920
Speaker 1: very much to the wide receivers. And oh, by the way,

1352
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:00,960
Speaker 1: Jalen Ramsey is on the other side of the ball,

1353
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:03,680
Speaker 1: So the wide receiver's Marquise Brown, Willie sneed there on

1354
01:11:03,720 --> 01:11:05,880
Speaker 1: the bench mark Andrews is in play here. He was

1355
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:09,080
Speaker 1: targeted seven plus times in eight of ten games this year,

1356
01:11:09,479 --> 01:11:12,439
Speaker 1: three touchdowns in the last two games. The Rams have

1357
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:15,000
Speaker 1: allowed at least seventy four yards to a touch to

1358
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:17,559
Speaker 1: a tight end three times in their last six games.

1359
01:11:17,560 --> 01:11:19,360
Speaker 1: So I've got an a grade on Mark Andrews, who

1360
01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:23,679
Speaker 1: is clearly Jackson's favored receiver. Here, mark Ingram a little

1361
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:25,599
Speaker 1: bit of a tougher story here, held the fifty two

1362
01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:28,519
Speaker 1: or fewer rushing yards five times in the last six games.

1363
01:11:28,840 --> 01:11:32,400
Speaker 1: He's still scoring touchdowns. He has ten touchdowns in ten games,

1364
01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:35,240
Speaker 1: but it's turned into you need the touchdown for him

1365
01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:37,800
Speaker 1: to be relevant because he's not getting the yards. That's

1366
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:40,040
Speaker 1: similar to the way the Rams defense plays. They're very

1367
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:42,880
Speaker 1: tough against running backs, but they have allowed nine running

1368
01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:46,200
Speaker 1: back touchdowns in ten games. So yeah, it's and it's

1369
01:11:46,200 --> 01:11:48,680
Speaker 1: the same story here with Ingram. He's gonna get you

1370
01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:52,439
Speaker 1: fifty sixty yards and coin flips chance of a touchdown.

1371
01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:55,080
Speaker 1: So that's a B level starting grade. Gus Edwards, he's

1372
01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:57,040
Speaker 1: just the closer at the end of at the end

1373
01:11:57,040 --> 01:12:01,720
Speaker 1: of blowouts. Yep, the ramside. Jared Goff is on the

1374
01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:04,599
Speaker 1: bench man, just drop this guy. Scoreless in the last

1375
01:12:04,600 --> 01:12:08,240
Speaker 1: two outings. Ravens past defense is elite. They've held all

1376
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:11,320
Speaker 1: but one opposing pastor to one touchdown or fewer. Golf

1377
01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:19,519
Speaker 1: is an easy bench here Cooper Cup three catches for

1378
01:12:19,600 --> 01:12:22,959
Speaker 1: Cooper Cup just seven targets the last two games, three catches,

1379
01:12:23,720 --> 01:12:25,840
Speaker 1: he'll I mean, he plays in the slot, so at

1380
01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:30,479
Speaker 1: least he'll avoid Marcus Peters, their shutdown corner, Peter Peters. Right, yeah, right,

1381
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:35,120
Speaker 1: it's a revenge game for Marcus Peters. Yeah, there you go,

1382
01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:38,880
Speaker 1: a defensive revenge game. But I've got a C grade

1383
01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:41,680
Speaker 1: on Cup because he's really the only sort of reliable

1384
01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:45,560
Speaker 1: receiver that Goff has right now. Because Brandon Cooks and

1385
01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:48,080
Speaker 1: Robert Woods, their status is both a little bit in

1386
01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:50,840
Speaker 1: the air. It sounds like Cooks might is probably going

1387
01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:54,200
Speaker 1: to return. Sweet they're both going to play was cleared

1388
01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:57,840
Speaker 1: on Friday, Cooks in and the personal and Woods was

1389
01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:01,639
Speaker 1: back at practice after missing last frustratingly missing last week's

1390
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:05,040
Speaker 1: game with a personal issue. But Woods hadn't scored all

1391
01:13:05,120 --> 01:13:08,160
Speaker 1: year before he missed that game, this past year or

1392
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:11,599
Speaker 1: this past week. Cooks in seven plus games before his concussion,

1393
01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:13,760
Speaker 1: he had only one touchdown and only one game of

1394
01:13:13,800 --> 01:13:17,240
Speaker 1: seventy five yards or more. And the matchup is really bad.

1395
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:19,320
Speaker 1: So I've got both, I've got both of those guys

1396
01:13:19,400 --> 01:13:21,599
Speaker 1: on the bench. I guess in desperation you can put

1397
01:13:21,640 --> 01:13:23,960
Speaker 1: him in, but no better than a see tight end

1398
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:26,599
Speaker 1: Gerald Everett. Of course, Baltimore is a lead against opposing

1399
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:29,160
Speaker 1: tight ends. None have topped four catches or twenty eight

1400
01:13:29,200 --> 01:13:31,439
Speaker 1: yards in the last six games. He is on the bench.

1401
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:37,280
Speaker 1: That brings us to Todd Gurley touches last week, most

1402
01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:40,240
Speaker 1: of the year's previous high was nineteen. It appears maybe

1403
01:13:40,360 --> 01:13:43,120
Speaker 1: the Rams have kind of been saving him, preserving him

1404
01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:46,200
Speaker 1: for this stretch run. For you're a girly owner, that's

1405
01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:48,639
Speaker 1: what you have to hope is happening here. The Ravens

1406
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:50,760
Speaker 1: can be beat on the ground. Last week they gave

1407
01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:52,560
Speaker 1: up a hundred and five yards in a touchdown to

1408
01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:56,160
Speaker 1: the Carlos Hide and Duke Johnson combo. The week before

1409
01:13:56,200 --> 01:13:59,040
Speaker 1: that a hundred and fifty one combined rushing and receiving

1410
01:13:59,080 --> 01:14:01,280
Speaker 1: yards to Joe Mix. And so I've got to be

1411
01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:04,759
Speaker 1: level grade here on Girle. If he's getting plus touches,

1412
01:14:04,800 --> 01:14:07,439
Speaker 1: he's at least to be even in a tough matchup

1413
01:14:07,560 --> 01:14:09,680
Speaker 1: that that that works out, That works out well. Can

1414
01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:12,120
Speaker 1: I get a personal you know, personal reasons? Can I

1415
01:14:12,160 --> 01:14:15,559
Speaker 1: miss the next segment with personal reasons to buy the reasons?

1416
01:14:15,560 --> 01:14:17,920
Speaker 1: I gotta work with you, two dorks. That's the reason

1417
01:14:18,160 --> 01:14:20,439
Speaker 1: our final topics are aad We provide you with three

1418
01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:23,320
Speaker 1: guys we believe will be hot waiver wire pickups next

1419
01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:28,000
Speaker 1: week that you will want to grab this week. Premature Speculation,

1420
01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:32,439
Speaker 1: Our final premature speculation of the year coming up next

1421
01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:56,240
Speaker 1: on Fantasy Football Weekly. Welcome back to Fantasy Football Weekly.

1422
01:14:56,680 --> 01:15:01,040
Speaker 1: It's a segment we called Premature Speculation. We provide a

1423
01:15:01,040 --> 01:15:02,800
Speaker 1: player we think will be a hot waiver wire pick

1424
01:15:02,880 --> 01:15:05,200
Speaker 1: up next week that we urge you to pick up

1425
01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:07,160
Speaker 1: this week, so that you are a week out of

1426
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:12,400
Speaker 1: the curve courtesy of our time machine right there, time Machine.

1427
01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:15,439
Speaker 1: What I really want to figure out is how can

1428
01:15:15,479 --> 01:15:24,559
Speaker 1: I emerge the time machine with them with the trump

1429
01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:28,760
Speaker 1: trombone solo from American Pie two? Is there a way

1430
01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:31,760
Speaker 1: to do both? I don't think there is, unfortunately, but

1431
01:15:31,960 --> 01:15:34,320
Speaker 1: I do love that. I mean only if one of

1432
01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:37,320
Speaker 1: us was going to imply that you should take the

1433
01:15:37,360 --> 01:15:40,479
Speaker 1: sad trombone scheme, well there is that, if you wouldn't

1434
01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:42,680
Speaker 1: mind be very helpful. I don't think any's going to

1435
01:15:42,760 --> 01:15:45,360
Speaker 1: do that, though. I think it was Jackass where uh

1436
01:15:45,720 --> 01:15:48,040
Speaker 1: it was Stepho think you played a trumpet with a

1437
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:51,439
Speaker 1: bee hole? Really that should really be the sad It's

1438
01:15:51,479 --> 01:15:55,040
Speaker 1: the saddest sadly, I've I feel like I've seen this God,

1439
01:15:55,280 --> 01:15:58,120
Speaker 1: I don't um. All right, let's go to uh, let's

1440
01:15:58,120 --> 01:16:00,920
Speaker 1: go to our premature speculation, guys, beginning with Brian who

1441
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:02,840
Speaker 1: you got. All Right, I don't know if it'll be

1442
01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:04,760
Speaker 1: a hot commodity, but he's gonna be a commodity at

1443
01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:06,879
Speaker 1: some point later in the season. And that's the Bengals

1444
01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:10,640
Speaker 1: running back trey Vin Williams, who was drafted that he

1445
01:16:10,680 --> 01:16:13,920
Speaker 1: was drafted in the NFL Draft. Everybody is a commodity, right,

1446
01:16:13,800 --> 01:16:17,120
Speaker 1: but at some point, just they gotta put mixing on

1447
01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:19,439
Speaker 1: ice there, oh, inten since that it is, and just

1448
01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:23,160
Speaker 1: trey v Williams is gonna be this cheap DFS option

1449
01:16:23,200 --> 01:16:25,720
Speaker 1: kind of guy who's gonna start a game for the

1450
01:16:25,720 --> 01:16:28,160
Speaker 1: Bengals at some point. I can just feel it. Giovanni

1451
01:16:28,200 --> 01:16:30,400
Speaker 1: Bernard always gets banged up. He's on a true lead back.

1452
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:32,280
Speaker 1: They're just gonna let this kid get some run at

1453
01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:34,240
Speaker 1: the end of the season as he continue to try

1454
01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:36,960
Speaker 1: and go oh and sixteen. So trey ViOn Williams will

1455
01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:38,800
Speaker 1: be a warm bodied running back for you later in

1456
01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:41,720
Speaker 1: the season. Alright, Christian, Alright, I'm gonna go with Tim

1457
01:16:41,760 --> 01:16:44,439
Speaker 1: Patrick wide receiver for the Broncos. Here he was the

1458
01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:47,120
Speaker 1: only wide receiver other than Courtland Sutton to be targeted

1459
01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:49,679
Speaker 1: last week in his return from i R. He broke

1460
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:51,280
Speaker 1: his hand in Week one and he's been on the

1461
01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:54,000
Speaker 1: shelf ever since. He returned. Last week turned eight targets

1462
01:16:54,320 --> 01:16:57,679
Speaker 1: into four catches and seventy seven yards. You may remember

1463
01:16:57,720 --> 01:17:02,439
Speaker 1: Patrick from such seasons as last season, when during the

1464
01:17:02,439 --> 01:17:06,080
Speaker 1: final four games, he led the Broncos and targets, catches,

1465
01:17:06,200 --> 01:17:11,280
Speaker 1: and yards, all of which were better than Courtland's Sutton's

1466
01:17:11,360 --> 01:17:14,600
Speaker 1: numbers over the same span. Courtland Sutton, who was a

1467
01:17:14,680 --> 01:17:18,759
Speaker 1: top five Fantasy wide receiver, not even the best receiver

1468
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:22,160
Speaker 1: on his own team. That's Tim Patrick, all right. Okay,

1469
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:24,880
Speaker 1: so maybe that's going a little overboard, but Patrick is

1470
01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:28,639
Speaker 1: an intriguing prospect. He's six four, he's two pounds, he's physical,

1471
01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:31,679
Speaker 1: he can run. He's shown that he can produce over

1472
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:34,160
Speaker 1: his five last five games at the NFL level. The

1473
01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:36,360
Speaker 1: near term outlook is hindered a little bit by Brandon

1474
01:17:36,400 --> 01:17:39,679
Speaker 1: Allen at quarterback, of course, and a tough, tough couple

1475
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:41,960
Speaker 1: of matchups in the next three weeks the Bills and Chargers,

1476
01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:44,720
Speaker 1: But after that a couple of cupcakes Texans in Week

1477
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:47,760
Speaker 1: fourteen Lions Week sixteen, he might be thinking about a

1478
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:51,840
Speaker 1: sneaky guy. To Tim Patrick, I think there's a coin

1479
01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:54,960
Speaker 1: flip chance of Benny Snell becomes the workhorse back for

1480
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:58,000
Speaker 1: the Steelers. Now, the Steelers traditionally have a workhorse back.

1481
01:17:58,760 --> 01:18:04,400
Speaker 1: Guests who can't a workhorse back jn Samuel's and you're correct,

1482
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:08,400
Speaker 1: that is a correct answer. And James Conner because well

1483
01:18:08,479 --> 01:18:11,320
Speaker 1: him either because he's no good. They only have one

1484
01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:14,000
Speaker 1: guy on roster who I think can emerge as the

1485
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:16,960
Speaker 1: workhorse back, and it's Benny Snell. It starts this week.

1486
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:19,080
Speaker 1: He's available in most leagues because he was out last

1487
01:18:19,120 --> 01:18:22,160
Speaker 1: week with injury. Benny Snell has a real chance of

1488
01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:24,000
Speaker 1: being the starting running back for the Steelers on a

1489
01:18:24,040 --> 01:18:25,840
Speaker 1: team that can't pass very well. He's got a run

1490
01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:27,920
Speaker 1: and it's got a good enough offensive line to make

1491
01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:30,040
Speaker 1: the running backs valuable. Not only that, but if you're

1492
01:18:30,040 --> 01:18:32,559
Speaker 1: in a dynasty league an empirely you're thinking about next year,

1493
01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:35,639
Speaker 1: who's your starting running back going into camp next year?

1494
01:18:35,800 --> 01:18:38,559
Speaker 1: Could be Benny Snell. There's at least Benny Sells as

1495
01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:42,080
Speaker 1: good a chance as anybody else that's currently on roster

1496
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:46,040
Speaker 1: to be the Steelers starting running back. Wouldn't be funny,

1497
01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:47,760
Speaker 1: by the way, Jets are Jets are gonna cut Levy

1498
01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:49,960
Speaker 1: on Bell right, terrible contract. They never should have signed

1499
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:53,799
Speaker 1: him he could What if he found his way back Steelers?

1500
01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:56,639
Speaker 1: Would that be fun Let's go to our final two matchups,

1501
01:18:56,680 --> 01:18:59,040
Speaker 1: the Sunday Nighters, green Bay taking on San Francisco. Brian

1502
01:18:59,080 --> 01:19:02,120
Speaker 1: for San Francisco's side. Four players come into this game

1503
01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:05,600
Speaker 1: as game time decisions. If you've got Emmanuel Sanders or

1504
01:19:05,680 --> 01:19:10,479
Speaker 1: George Kittle or Deebo Samuel or Matt Breda, we encourage

1505
01:19:10,479 --> 01:19:13,640
Speaker 1: you to put them in your flex spot. Now have

1506
01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:16,400
Speaker 1: another player that's a Sunday Night player or Monday Night

1507
01:19:16,400 --> 01:19:19,759
Speaker 1: player ready to go into the flex if it turns

1508
01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:22,880
Speaker 1: out that that guy is a last minute deactivation. So

1509
01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:25,599
Speaker 1: there's just some quick broad advice on that. But let's

1510
01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:27,040
Speaker 1: start with the green Bay side. What do you think

1511
01:19:27,080 --> 01:19:29,040
Speaker 1: about the Packers and a very what feels like, at

1512
01:19:29,120 --> 01:19:30,920
Speaker 1: least on paper, is a very tough matchup with a

1513
01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:33,840
Speaker 1: good forty Niners defense. Yeah, we'll start with Aaron Jones.

1514
01:19:33,880 --> 01:19:35,320
Speaker 1: I can give him a B. It's really not that

1515
01:19:35,439 --> 01:19:38,160
Speaker 1: scary matchup for running backs anymore against the forty Niners.

1516
01:19:38,160 --> 01:19:40,200
Speaker 1: Over their last four games, the Niners are allowing more

1517
01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:41,920
Speaker 1: than five and a half yards per carry and have

1518
01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:44,840
Speaker 1: surrendered three rushing scores for running backs. So I gotta

1519
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:47,960
Speaker 1: be on Aaron Jones. And even though he hit thirteen

1520
01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:50,639
Speaker 1: carries which was the same amount as Jamal Williams against

1521
01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:52,840
Speaker 1: Caroline Week ten, but Jones had an extra thirty yards

1522
01:19:52,840 --> 01:19:55,759
Speaker 1: and he scored the hat trick three touchdowns. So always

1523
01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:58,120
Speaker 1: Jones over william still, but Williams will get to see

1524
01:19:58,120 --> 01:20:00,559
Speaker 1: I think we'll get enough work in this one, especially

1525
01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:03,559
Speaker 1: through the air, to warrant a flexor for most again

1526
01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:06,120
Speaker 1: because this matchup is suddenly good for running backs. Davante

1527
01:20:06,160 --> 01:20:09,000
Speaker 1: Adams not a great matchup for him at all. I'll

1528
01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:11,280
Speaker 1: I'll give him a be here. Has seen double digit

1529
01:20:11,320 --> 01:20:13,880
Speaker 1: targets in every game since his return. I believe no

1530
01:20:13,960 --> 01:20:17,719
Speaker 1: touchdowns still on the season, though absolutely brutal odds Aret

1531
01:20:17,720 --> 01:20:21,080
Speaker 1: doesn't come here. San Francisco has allowed a wide receiver

1532
01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:24,479
Speaker 1: touchdown and only two of their last eight games, and

1533
01:20:24,520 --> 01:20:27,720
Speaker 1: both of those games are against the Cardinals. I'm much

1534
01:20:27,720 --> 01:20:30,759
Speaker 1: of what to make of that, really, but whatever, Fluke Anyways,

1535
01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:33,880
Speaker 1: San fran also hasn't allowed a one one yard receiver

1536
01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:37,000
Speaker 1: since Week two, so a very soft be for Davante Adams.

1537
01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:42,519
Speaker 1: I'm benching all the other Adams no touchdowns this year? Zero,

1538
01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:46,000
Speaker 1: I think I just said that. Yeah, sorry, crazy, Uh yeah,

1539
01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:50,160
Speaker 1: he's been killing people. What by the way, no touchdowns?

1540
01:20:51,479 --> 01:20:56,360
Speaker 1: You don't say tell me more. I'm betting all the

1541
01:20:56,400 --> 01:21:00,320
Speaker 1: other wide receivers for obvious reasons that I just engined

1542
01:21:00,360 --> 01:21:02,800
Speaker 1: in the Davante Adams right up. He hasn't scored any

1543
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:05,679
Speaker 1: touchdowns by the way, Davanta Adams. But you can't bench

1544
01:21:05,760 --> 01:21:09,880
Speaker 1: Jimmy Graham on his birthday, right We need a birthday

1545
01:21:09,920 --> 01:21:13,919
Speaker 1: sound effects by the way, like like about happy Birthday.

1546
01:21:14,800 --> 01:21:20,360
Speaker 1: That's not a sound effects, Like what's the I suppose

1547
01:21:20,479 --> 01:21:28,640
Speaker 1: that multi candles, that's the streamer thing or whatever. It's not.

1548
01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:34,280
Speaker 1: It's got the paper because it was. We would be

1549
01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:37,200
Speaker 1: playing that for Jimmy Graham. But it's only his birthday.

1550
01:21:37,400 --> 01:21:39,719
Speaker 1: It's not a good matchup. The Niners have only allowed

1551
01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:42,640
Speaker 1: two tight end touchdowns on the season, but the competition

1552
01:21:42,680 --> 01:21:46,240
Speaker 1: has been pretty atrocious. Uh. The comparable corpse of Tyler

1553
01:21:46,240 --> 01:21:49,040
Speaker 1: effort to Jimmy Graham caught a touchdown against Francisco, and

1554
01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:51,920
Speaker 1: Jacob Policer just had eight catches and a score against

1555
01:21:51,920 --> 01:21:54,559
Speaker 1: San France. I'll give Graham se As a birthday gift.

1556
01:21:55,200 --> 01:21:57,360
Speaker 1: What I'll give Aaron Rodgers, though, is a seat on

1557
01:21:57,479 --> 01:22:00,960
Speaker 1: the bench. Has thrown just five touchdowns across four away

1558
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:03,960
Speaker 1: games this season, and this isn't an optimal setting. San

1559
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:06,559
Speaker 1: France has only allowed three passing touchdowns over their last

1560
01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:09,920
Speaker 1: four home games, and Football Outsiders has the the Niners

1561
01:22:09,920 --> 01:22:12,800
Speaker 1: are ranked second against the past this season. Rogers on

1562
01:22:12,840 --> 01:22:15,759
Speaker 1: the bench. You mentioned all the injuries for the forty

1563
01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:20,320
Speaker 1: Niners chart starting with George Kittle practiced Thursday and Friday

1564
01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:24,400
Speaker 1: in limited fashion, non contact Jersey, but reports are optimistic

1565
01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:25,920
Speaker 1: that he's gonna play. So I'm just gonna go with

1566
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:30,240
Speaker 1: Kittle's gonna play on Sunday night. Uh, and again hopefully

1567
01:22:30,240 --> 01:22:32,280
Speaker 1: he does. It's a great matchup. Green Bay has allowed

1568
01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:34,599
Speaker 1: seven and a half catches per game two tight ends

1569
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:37,120
Speaker 1: over the last four games. Darren Waller, Travis Kelsey and

1570
01:22:37,160 --> 01:22:40,080
Speaker 1: Dallas Goddard combined for four touchdown catches against the Packers

1571
01:22:40,120 --> 01:22:42,800
Speaker 1: so far this year. UH. Emmanuel Sanders another guy who's

1572
01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:45,360
Speaker 1: listed as question with a rib injury. I think there's

1573
01:22:45,360 --> 01:22:48,320
Speaker 1: a little more optimism around Sanders, and there is Kittle,

1574
01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:51,320
Speaker 1: so we'll go with him playing as well. Green Bay

1575
01:22:51,439 --> 01:22:54,040
Speaker 1: has allowed their opponent's top wide receiver to clear the

1576
01:22:54,080 --> 01:22:56,800
Speaker 1: century mark in four of their last six games, and

1577
01:22:56,960 --> 01:22:59,400
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders is the top wide receiver on San Francisco

1578
01:22:59,439 --> 01:23:03,599
Speaker 1: now if health so that puts Deebo Samuel on the

1579
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:06,200
Speaker 1: bench for me and this one. Unless Sanders sits. I

1580
01:23:06,240 --> 01:23:11,240
Speaker 1: love Deebo Samuel, he should not be dropped. But there's

1581
01:23:11,520 --> 01:23:14,800
Speaker 1: uh the running backs before the point that I was

1582
01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:18,280
Speaker 1: gonna get back to the run in this one. It's

1583
01:23:18,320 --> 01:23:20,760
Speaker 1: bottom half an opponent past attempts per game less than

1584
01:23:20,800 --> 01:23:23,880
Speaker 1: thirty five per game. I don't see the volume for Deebo.

1585
01:23:23,960 --> 01:23:27,679
Speaker 1: But if Kittle end or Sanders is out, Samuel should

1586
01:23:27,680 --> 01:23:29,080
Speaker 1: be in your starting lineup. But I'm benching him in

1587
01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:31,280
Speaker 1: this one. I still see a ton of targets for

1588
01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:34,160
Speaker 1: for Deebo here should be universally owned, like I said,

1589
01:23:34,280 --> 01:23:38,080
Speaker 1: and Jimmy Jimmy G Jimmy Garoppolo, I'll give him a see.

1590
01:23:38,120 --> 01:23:40,160
Speaker 1: If Kittle plays, I really want to see Kid on

1591
01:23:40,160 --> 01:23:42,320
Speaker 1: this one to start Jimmy G. But again, green Bay

1592
01:23:42,320 --> 01:23:45,240
Speaker 1: bottom half an opponent pass attempts per game. I think

1593
01:23:45,240 --> 01:23:47,559
Speaker 1: it's all about the run game here for San Francis,

1594
01:23:47,560 --> 01:23:49,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put Jimmy g on the bench here, even

1595
01:23:49,320 --> 01:23:51,400
Speaker 1: though we're throwing the ball ninety one times across the

1596
01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:53,840
Speaker 1: last two games. There was some overtime there though, And

1597
01:23:53,960 --> 01:23:56,280
Speaker 1: speaking of the running backs, Tevin Coleman can give him

1598
01:23:56,280 --> 01:23:58,759
Speaker 1: a see. He's been a roller coaster ride since returning

1599
01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:01,360
Speaker 1: from injury. But according to Football Outside Its, green Bay's

1600
01:24:01,439 --> 01:24:04,280
Speaker 1: ranks against the run and they have yielded the third

1601
01:24:04,320 --> 01:24:06,360
Speaker 1: most red zone touches to running backs and gold to

1602
01:24:06,439 --> 01:24:10,240
Speaker 1: go scenarios and don't underestimate this. If Kittle comes back,

1603
01:24:10,280 --> 01:24:11,880
Speaker 1: that would be huge for Tevin Coleman in the running

1604
01:24:11,880 --> 01:24:16,080
Speaker 1: game because he's a beastly blocker. He's like and uh

1605
01:24:16,320 --> 01:24:19,080
Speaker 1: so you gotta contemplate a backup running back for the

1606
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:22,240
Speaker 1: forty Niners. Matt Breed has actually been downgraded to doubtful

1607
01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:25,000
Speaker 1: as of Friday, so it looks like Rhee most would

1608
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:27,040
Speaker 1: be the guy again, even though Jeff Wilson is also

1609
01:24:27,080 --> 01:24:30,120
Speaker 1: in the mix. But again green Bay conceding nearly thirty

1610
01:24:30,120 --> 01:24:32,719
Speaker 1: touches per game to running backs. They've just been awful

1611
01:24:32,760 --> 01:24:35,960
Speaker 1: against the run, so I'll give most to see. By

1612
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:41,280
Speaker 1: the way, they're called party blowers. Blowers, party blowers. It

1613
01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:43,960
Speaker 1: is a boring name, although you know how many times

1614
01:24:44,040 --> 01:24:45,880
Speaker 1: how many times you got a party blower in your mouth.

1615
01:24:48,160 --> 01:24:52,080
Speaker 1: Atlanta takes on time Bay and Matt Ryan gets an

1616
01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:55,839
Speaker 1: absolute obvious a start here. The Bucks rejiggered their secondary

1617
01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:58,240
Speaker 1: before last week's game and ended up with a familiar result,

1618
01:24:58,280 --> 01:25:03,560
Speaker 1: allowing three touchdown passes, extending their laughably dubious streak to

1619
01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:08,000
Speaker 1: three or more touchdowns in four straight games allowed through

1620
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:11,599
Speaker 1: the air for Morgados. Here, Matt and Matt Ryan absolutely

1621
01:25:11,600 --> 01:25:16,160
Speaker 1: hammered Tampa last year in two games. Seven hundred thirty

1622
01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:19,920
Speaker 1: four passing yards in two games for Matt Ryan against

1623
01:25:19,920 --> 01:25:23,519
Speaker 1: Tampa last year A grade. Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley.

1624
01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:27,639
Speaker 1: I never do this. They're my number one and number

1625
01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:32,240
Speaker 1: two ranked wide receivers overall. They're probably both not gonna

1626
01:25:32,280 --> 01:25:34,679
Speaker 1: live up to that billing, but either one of them

1627
01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:36,719
Speaker 1: could be the number one that could be the highest

1628
01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:39,120
Speaker 1: scoring guy. So I've got them both as as one

1629
01:25:39,160 --> 01:25:42,400
Speaker 1: and two. And over the last three games, Tampas allowed

1630
01:25:42,400 --> 01:25:45,400
Speaker 1: two hundred forty six yards per game to receivers. Four

1631
01:25:45,439 --> 01:25:49,040
Speaker 1: receivers have topped one hundred yards. Eight receivers have scored

1632
01:25:49,080 --> 01:25:52,240
Speaker 1: in three games against Tampa A great opportunity for them.

1633
01:25:52,400 --> 01:25:54,639
Speaker 1: Russell Gage was na take a chance. I mean wide

1634
01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:58,160
Speaker 1: receiver there, slot receiver he's got gets a C grade

1635
01:25:58,200 --> 01:26:00,760
Speaker 1: in this game, and they're running back Brian Everybody started

1636
01:26:00,800 --> 01:26:03,760
Speaker 1: him last week, had it and things did not go well. Right.

1637
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:05,760
Speaker 1: He saw the lions here of carries and snaps, but

1638
01:26:05,800 --> 01:26:07,559
Speaker 1: he did nothing with them. He lost a touchdown on

1639
01:26:07,600 --> 01:26:09,559
Speaker 1: a penalty and got yanked at the goal line for

1640
01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:14,080
Speaker 1: something called Cadrey Allison. For two months, Tampa Bay's run

1641
01:26:14,120 --> 01:26:17,960
Speaker 1: defense was red hot, but lately they're receding. They've allowed

1642
01:26:17,960 --> 01:26:20,200
Speaker 1: at least four point eight yards per carried it backs

1643
01:26:20,200 --> 01:26:23,160
Speaker 1: in three of their last four games. It'll be just

1644
01:26:23,439 --> 01:26:27,960
Speaker 1: like fantasy football for everybody to have gotten on Brian

1645
01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:31,080
Speaker 1: Hill in an easy matchup last week. Everybody gets off

1646
01:26:31,200 --> 01:26:35,080
Speaker 1: him now in a seemingly tough matchup that secretly isn't

1647
01:26:35,120 --> 01:26:37,040
Speaker 1: as tough and watched. This is gonna be the Brian

1648
01:26:37,120 --> 01:26:40,760
Speaker 1: Hill game. C C grade, starting grade. Brian Hill. Let's

1649
01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:43,040
Speaker 1: go to the Tampa Bay side. First, you're gonna have

1650
01:26:43,080 --> 01:26:46,840
Speaker 1: to decide if the Falcon suddenly elite defense is legit

1651
01:26:47,040 --> 01:26:50,080
Speaker 1: or not. I don't know for sure, but there is

1652
01:26:50,160 --> 01:26:54,400
Speaker 1: one data point for you. Their coach where he Mostard

1653
01:26:54,439 --> 01:26:58,320
Speaker 1: got switched to secondary coach two games ago and in

1654
01:26:58,360 --> 01:27:02,599
Speaker 1: two games no touchdowns allowed. So there is a reason

1655
01:27:02,640 --> 01:27:05,160
Speaker 1: to think that that's a legitimate switch and this defense

1656
01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:08,760
Speaker 1: can be better. And I've downgraded my my my expectations

1657
01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:11,880
Speaker 1: to just a B grade for Jamis Winston. Over the

1658
01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:14,280
Speaker 1: past two weeks, I mentioned the Falcons of Blank, Drew Brees,

1659
01:27:14,320 --> 01:27:17,880
Speaker 1: and Kyle Allen uh a stunning reversal for them. Jamis

1660
01:27:17,880 --> 01:27:20,400
Speaker 1: Winston comes into this game having thrown for three or

1661
01:27:20,400 --> 01:27:22,720
Speaker 1: more yards and five straight games, and he demolished the

1662
01:27:22,720 --> 01:27:25,320
Speaker 1: Falcons and their two meetings last year, so he still

1663
01:27:25,400 --> 01:27:28,040
Speaker 1: gets a B grade here. Mike Evans is obviously Mike Evans.

1664
01:27:28,040 --> 01:27:29,960
Speaker 1: You're gonna start him every week, including this week. He

1665
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:31,640
Speaker 1: gets a B grade as well for the reasons that

1666
01:27:31,680 --> 01:27:34,800
Speaker 1: I just mentioned. Evans averaging five catches for seventy eight

1667
01:27:34,840 --> 01:27:38,160
Speaker 1: yards against the Falcons in his last three games. Chris

1668
01:27:38,200 --> 01:27:40,920
Speaker 1: Godwin also gets a B. He'll be tested in the

1669
01:27:40,960 --> 01:27:44,320
Speaker 1: slot by rookie cornerback Kendall Sheffield. This was one of

1670
01:27:44,400 --> 01:27:47,120
Speaker 1: the changes where he mostred made. He's been excellent in

1671
01:27:47,160 --> 01:27:50,880
Speaker 1: these last two weeks out of the slot Godwin though

1672
01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:53,320
Speaker 1: in his two games against the Falcons, averaging eighty five yards,

1673
01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:55,320
Speaker 1: and he has found the end zone three times in

1674
01:27:55,360 --> 01:27:59,200
Speaker 1: his two games against the Falcons. Ronald Jones gets a

1675
01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:02,559
Speaker 1: B grade in US one. Peyton Barber had zero rushes

1676
01:28:02,680 --> 01:28:05,360
Speaker 1: last week. Although Ronald Jones didn't do much with the

1677
01:28:05,360 --> 01:28:08,120
Speaker 1: opportunity UH last week, he gave us a grand total

1678
01:28:08,160 --> 01:28:10,120
Speaker 1: of two catches for one yard. That's all we got

1679
01:28:10,120 --> 01:28:11,479
Speaker 1: through the air. After it looked like he was gonna

1680
01:28:11,479 --> 01:28:13,680
Speaker 1: be a pass catcher there. Falcons had given up five

1681
01:28:13,760 --> 01:28:16,040
Speaker 1: yards per carry to running backs over their last four games.

1682
01:28:16,160 --> 01:28:18,200
Speaker 1: Ronald Jones gets a B grade under the assumption he's

1683
01:28:18,240 --> 01:28:20,000
Speaker 1: kind of continue to get the vast majority of the

1684
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:22,320
Speaker 1: work and that is all you need to know from

1685
01:28:22,320 --> 01:28:24,760
Speaker 1: that matchup. I think Peyton Barber is dead to us.

1686
01:28:24,840 --> 01:28:27,120
Speaker 1: If Jones doesn't produce, just shoot all the Tampa Bay

1687
01:28:27,160 --> 01:28:30,479
Speaker 1: backs into the sun. If he doesn't come through in

1688
01:28:30,479 --> 01:28:33,000
Speaker 1: this game, it seems like a very good opportunity for him.
