<v Speaker 1>to pick up this week. All that coming up on

0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:25.440
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy Football Weekly. We dive right into the matchups, though,

0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 1>beginning with Seattle taking onto Philadelphia. This is an interesting

0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:34.840
<v Speaker 1>matchup in that Brian birds they're both birds, I mean,

0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:37.960
<v Speaker 1>and then obviously the Avian conquest is very It's a

0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:42.760
<v Speaker 1>huge theme for this one. The Eagles defense so improved

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.600
<v Speaker 1>over the past three or four games. You don't know,

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:47.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, A you're gonna get the version that really

0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:49.320
<v Speaker 1>struggled for the first half of the season. You're gonna

0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:52.520
<v Speaker 1>get the September October Version're gonna get the November version.

0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:54.760
<v Speaker 1>What do you think about the Seattle side of this

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 1>as they take on this new and improved Philadelphia defense. Yeah,

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.520
<v Speaker 1>this is um notly one of two West Coast teams

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 1>going east for the early game, which is always a

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:05.520
<v Speaker 1>factor in my opinion. But starting with the passing game,

0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:09.520
<v Speaker 1>as you mentioned, um, the secondary looked pretty good. Ronald

0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:12.919
<v Speaker 1>Darby back about Damatics back, but they faced Josh Allen

0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:16.040
<v Speaker 1>who's up and down as a passer, then Sad Trombone

0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:19.360
<v Speaker 1>Ski and then even Tom Brady last week. That Patriots

0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:22.000
<v Speaker 1>offense is pretty uninspiring in my opinion, So I'm not

0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:26.520
<v Speaker 1>fully sold on, you know, the Eagles being a shutdown secondary,

0:02:26.560 --> 0:02:28.799
<v Speaker 1>even with Darby and Maddox back. UM safe to say

0:02:28.880 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Russell Wilson's on a different level. Yes, guy certainly is.

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm still giving him an a here and opposing mobile

0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.399
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks have also padded their stats against the Eagles. Josh

0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Allen had forty five yards, Dac had thirty yards in

0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:42.360
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown. Even Aaron Rodgers rushed five times for forty

0:02:42.360 --> 0:02:44.880
<v Speaker 1>six yards. So still in a for Russell Wilson over

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.560
<v Speaker 1>for his pass catchers. Tyler Lockett in a as well.

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:51.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm not concerned about the shin injury. Um, he will play,

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:56.240
<v Speaker 1>sure of that. It's slot corner of may injury. Like that.

0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.080
<v Speaker 1>He's been good but not great, and it doesn't matter.

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Lock it his match up proof in an automatic start

0:03:01.320 --> 0:03:02.840
<v Speaker 1>when he's healthy and give him an I'm gonna give

0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:05.680
<v Speaker 1>a dk metcalf of b here um. Even though Ronald

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.920
<v Speaker 1>Darby is back, he has about seven pounds or seven

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:12.880
<v Speaker 1>INDs on Darby and he's got about like half a

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 1>second on Jalen Mills when it comes to speed before

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:18.960
<v Speaker 1>the speeds, so he's gonna dominate Derby fly by Mills. Uh.

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:20.960
<v Speaker 1>The Eagles have only allowed one wide receiver touchdown in

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.840
<v Speaker 1>their last four but outside of Dallas, again, the opposing

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.000
<v Speaker 1>receivers into quarterbacks haven't been all that great, so I'm

0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.959
<v Speaker 1>not reading too much into those numbers. Um, Josh Gordon,

0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:31.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna give him a see here, only played in

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.680
<v Speaker 1>thirty seven percent of the snaps, but he's come off

0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 1>a bye and Uh, I don't know. I'm just gonna

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:39.400
<v Speaker 1>throw this dark Josh Gordon. See why not? Let's do it? Um, okay,

0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:42.200
<v Speaker 1>just throwing it out there. Speaking throw darts. Remember that

0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Jacob Polliser prespect dart I threw several weeks ago. Um,

0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 1>why yeah, I do recall that. I don't think you

0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 1>can find anything time stamped audio, Twitter, nothing that said

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Jacob Polliser before that show. But anyway, that was the

0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:00.160
<v Speaker 1>last show, so it was about a month earlier. Uh,

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:03.000
<v Speaker 1>I just can give him a b. Though San Francisco

0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 1>arguably the top tight end defense. UH, Hollister somewhat shredded

0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:08.440
<v Speaker 1>them for eight catches and a touchdown the last time

0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Seattle played. Because it is a tough matchup as well.

0:04:11.480 --> 0:04:13.800
<v Speaker 1>The Eagles have only one tight end touchdown over the

0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:16.040
<v Speaker 1>last six weeks and only one tight ends top three

0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:18.280
<v Speaker 1>receptions or thirty six yards during that same stretch, So

0:04:18.360 --> 0:04:20.760
<v Speaker 1>not a ideal matchup. But hollis a locked in as

0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:22.760
<v Speaker 1>a tight end one pretty much on a weekly basis

0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 1>moving forward. And then Chris Carson always locked in as

0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:27.640
<v Speaker 1>an RB one or r B two. I would say

0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:30.359
<v Speaker 1>he's an RB one in PPR leagues and just the

0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:32.800
<v Speaker 1>RV two, which would be a B in a standard.

0:04:33.040 --> 0:04:36.240
<v Speaker 1>He's had some. This is a tough matchups. They're tough matchups,

0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.599
<v Speaker 1>but he always seems to find a way to be

0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:41.479
<v Speaker 1>fantasy viable. He'll find a way and he'll he could

0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:43.640
<v Speaker 1>find a way through the air as well. Philly is

0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:46.000
<v Speaker 1>allowing six catches per game to running backs and Chris

0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:49.880
<v Speaker 1>Carson still owns seventy percent of Seattle's running back target share. Uh,

0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 1>don't be worried about Rashad Penny there over to the

0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Eagles side, should probably be worried about them a lot,

0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:58.599
<v Speaker 1>especially their wide receivers. Let's start with Carson. What a

0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:02.080
<v Speaker 1>disaster it is there. Yeah, it's a do over, so

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:05.560
<v Speaker 1>at the position for the whole team. Actually know, I'm

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:07.159
<v Speaker 1>gonna start at the running game first because I don't

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:08.880
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about the receivers just yet because it's

0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:12.320
<v Speaker 1>so awful. Jordan Howard was not cleared for contact on

0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:15.599
<v Speaker 1>in Friday's practice, so he's looking unlikely to go here,

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:17.880
<v Speaker 1>and the signing of j Jilli is on Bode Will.

0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Media reports at the end of the week saying that

0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 1>Ji is looking at his substantial workload. Gross, he's bad.

0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Boston Scott the backup running back to Miles Sanders. I'm

0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:36.080
<v Speaker 1>gonna give Miles Sanders a see. Boston Scott saw too

0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:38.440
<v Speaker 1>many carries in my opinion, he had seven last week

0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:40.920
<v Speaker 1>to Sanders is eleven. But I think New England really

0:05:41.000 --> 0:05:43.560
<v Speaker 1>game planned to shut Sanders down. Sanders was still on

0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:47.240
<v Speaker 1>the field for the snaps last week, so a solid

0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:50.520
<v Speaker 1>see here. Still uh silly. Seattle has allowed the fourth

0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:52.600
<v Speaker 1>most rushing touchdowns and running backs, and they've allowed at

0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:54.600
<v Speaker 1>least seven running back catches in five of their last

0:05:54.600 --> 0:05:57.680
<v Speaker 1>eight games. The Rams backs and Bucks backs and not

0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:01.159
<v Speaker 1>hit that mark. That's understandable though, and Geneveon Clowney and

0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Geron Reid are banged up, missed most of practice all week.

0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.840
<v Speaker 1>They might not play, but they they're They're definitely not

0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:11.159
<v Speaker 1>a percent. So that's good news for Carson wins and company.

0:06:11.360 --> 0:06:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Starting with his only two pass catchers, I'm gonna mention,

0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:15.920
<v Speaker 1>and one of them is not Alican Jeffrey. No, it's

0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:19.279
<v Speaker 1>Zackers and Dallas Goddard. I mean, that's it. Um, it's

0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.680
<v Speaker 1>not an I Geoffrey and they both not play in

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:23.800
<v Speaker 1>this game. Even if they play, it doesn't matter. It

0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:26.600
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter for Arts and Goddard. What do you want

0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:28.440
<v Speaker 1>to talk about the wid receivers anymore? Let's talk about

0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:31.600
<v Speaker 1>the tight ends. Not an ideal matchup though, posing tight

0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 1>ends have total just one touchdown against Seattle over the

0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:37.159
<v Speaker 1>last five weeks, while averaging just three catches and forty

0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:40.400
<v Speaker 1>two yards. But Seattle is yielding eight targets per game

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.040
<v Speaker 1>to tight ends over the last four weeks, so they

0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.640
<v Speaker 1>have been involved, and uh ERTs and God are probably

0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:46.479
<v Speaker 1>gonna see eight targets a piece in this one. Be

0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:49.719
<v Speaker 1>my estimation. Carson Winslow, I'm putting him on the bench.

0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Here are the passing touchdowns allowed by the Seahawks over

0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:56.760
<v Speaker 1>their last seven games zero one, one, zero one, two

0:06:57.000 --> 0:07:03.280
<v Speaker 1>and one. James jams in binary just spelled penis, did

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:07.000
<v Speaker 1>I really? Yeah, Winston had the two touchdowns, but he

0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:10.360
<v Speaker 1>actually has wide receivers on his team, unlike the Eagles.

0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.640
<v Speaker 1>So just uh not just a bench grade eight bench

0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:14.840
<v Speaker 1>grade for Carson Wentz. I don't think two is in

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:20.960
<v Speaker 1>by it random? Do you usually not know? But that's

0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:22.880
<v Speaker 1>like it's like the it's like the B plus you

0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:25.920
<v Speaker 1>keep trying to get play. Yes, yeah, it's very similar

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.400
<v Speaker 1>to that Denver takes on Buffalo. This is not as

0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:30.440
<v Speaker 1>complicated of a matchup. I don't think on the Denver

0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:33.720
<v Speaker 1>side they could travel to Buffalo. Buffalo an elite past defense,

0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:37.480
<v Speaker 1>a wobbly run defense. And here comes Philip Lindsay, who

0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:40.120
<v Speaker 1>got a lot of work last week. I love him

0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:42.240
<v Speaker 1>in this patchup. Tell me you do too, I do.

0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:44.120
<v Speaker 1>I do like him. I will say, first of all,

0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:46.600
<v Speaker 1>the over under on this game is thirty five. That's

0:07:46.640 --> 0:07:48.840
<v Speaker 1>really lowest, the lowest of the week, And so I

0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.320
<v Speaker 1>have a decent number of starters here that I'm I'm

0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:53.320
<v Speaker 1>a little worried about that because I think it's gonna

0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:56.160
<v Speaker 1>be low scoring in general. But yeah, Philip Lindsay, that

0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:59.200
<v Speaker 1>took what eleven weeks for him to finally establish or

0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:02.320
<v Speaker 1>for the Broncos understand that he had dramatically better than

0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Royce Freeman. Out snapped Freeman last week eight touches to

0:08:08.120 --> 0:08:11.080
<v Speaker 1>just nine. I mean, he has established himself as the one,

0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:14.680
<v Speaker 1>at least the one A in this backfield. Buffalo has

0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:17.600
<v Speaker 1>allowed four point six yards per carry to opposing running backs.

0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:20.080
<v Speaker 1>That's sort of the one area where you can move

0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:23.480
<v Speaker 1>the ball against Buffalo, including three yard rushing games allowed

0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:26.760
<v Speaker 1>and eight rushing touchdowns. Running Backs have also combined for

0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:29.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty catches against the Bills in the last two games.

0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:32.040
<v Speaker 1>So I like Philip Lindsay here. I gave him a B.

0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:35.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm not quite really ready to give him an A.

0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:38.240
<v Speaker 1>If there was something in between those two grades, it

0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:43.400
<v Speaker 1>sure would be convenience there. He's a B. I've got

0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:45.599
<v Speaker 1>Royce Freeman on the bench just fifteen touches in the

0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:47.679
<v Speaker 1>last two games, and we just talked about they're basically

0:08:47.960 --> 0:08:49.840
<v Speaker 1>phasing him out here. He's more of just a change

0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:53.360
<v Speaker 1>of pace guy the passing game. Lad in Air Quotes

0:08:53.400 --> 0:08:56.960
<v Speaker 1>by Brandon Allen completing just under fifty of his passes

0:08:57.360 --> 0:09:00.320
<v Speaker 1>three touchdown passes in two starts. The Bills are top

0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:03.400
<v Speaker 1>three past defense. They've only let one quarterback throw more

0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:06.280
<v Speaker 1>than one touchdown passed against them, and Alan is an

0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:08.880
<v Speaker 1>easy bench grade. And this one that brings us to

0:09:08.920 --> 0:09:13.360
<v Speaker 1>Courtland Sutton. This one's a little difficult. Buffalo has only

0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 1>allowed four wide receivers to score, only one wide receiver

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:19.840
<v Speaker 1>top two hundred yards. That was kind of inexplicably Davante

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:24.360
<v Speaker 1>Parker last week. Sutton has been the apple of Alan's eye.

0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:27.559
<v Speaker 1>Targeted seventeen times and two starts, he has at least

0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:29.920
<v Speaker 1>seventy two yards and five of his last six games,

0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:33.040
<v Speaker 1>so the stats look good. Sutton sure looks good, but

0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:37.280
<v Speaker 1>this matchup is really difficult. Cornerback Travi Tradavious White of

0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:41.000
<v Speaker 1>the Bills has become a shutdown guy. So just fin

0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:43.840
<v Speaker 1>had to start a defense with any cornerback right now,

0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:47.199
<v Speaker 1>White would be the first guy. There you go. Suton

0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:49.760
<v Speaker 1>comes through in this game. Automatic first round picked for me.

0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Next year, We're gonna talk a lot more Sutton later

0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.040
<v Speaker 1>in this show. I gave him just a C grade

0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 1>in this because of the difficulty of the matchup. Number

0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:01.400
<v Speaker 1>two wide receiver now it's Tim Patrick. He did have

0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:04.120
<v Speaker 1>eight targets last week. I'm gonna maybe talk about him

0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.640
<v Speaker 1>a little bit later on the show, but that was

0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:08.600
<v Speaker 1>his first game off of i R last week. Let's

0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:10.320
<v Speaker 1>give him another week or two before we think about

0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:12.760
<v Speaker 1>putting him back in the lineup tight end Noah Funt

0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:15.280
<v Speaker 1>he's an interesting one here too. He actually leads the

0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Broncos with twenty four targets since Emmanuel Sanders was traded

0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:21.200
<v Speaker 1>a couple of games ago. That's more than Courtland Sutton

0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:23.959
<v Speaker 1>seven catches and a hundred and seventy five yards in

0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Allan's two starts. So he's been very good over the

0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:29.880
<v Speaker 1>last couple of weeks. But the Bills are also very

0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:33.280
<v Speaker 1>good against tight ends. No none have topped fifty seven yards.

0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Only one has scored. So I've got fun with a

0:10:36.400 --> 0:10:39.480
<v Speaker 1>C grade here as a starter on the Bill's side.

0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:42.880
<v Speaker 1>Josh Allen. He's obviously in here because of what he

0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:44.920
<v Speaker 1>can do on the ground, but this is a very

0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:48.560
<v Speaker 1>good Denver passing defense. Outside of their second half collapse

0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:53.360
<v Speaker 1>against Kirk Cousins and the Vikings. Before that, only two

0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:56.120
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks had topped even two hundred and thirty five yards

0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:58.880
<v Speaker 1>and only one had thrown more than one touchdown pass.

0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 1>So you're gonna right Allen here on a B grade.

0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:03.480
<v Speaker 1>But he's gonna have to make it work on the ground,

0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:06.200
<v Speaker 1>which he has been doing all year. Seven rushing scores

0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:08.040
<v Speaker 1>this year, including four in the last three, so you're

0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to hope for more of that. I do

0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:12.079
<v Speaker 1>have John Brown in with a starting grade with a

0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:15.480
<v Speaker 1>B here hundred thirty seven yards and two touchdowns last

0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.120
<v Speaker 1>week against Miami. He has at least five catches and

0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:21.000
<v Speaker 1>seventy five yards in five of his last six games.

0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Now Denver has a shutdown corner two and Chris Harris

0:11:25.320 --> 0:11:30.440
<v Speaker 1>he's and he did not shadow Digs though either, so

0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:32.040
<v Speaker 1>he was on part of the time and Diggs went

0:11:32.080 --> 0:11:35.959
<v Speaker 1>off for one yards and a touchdown. So cautiously optimistic

0:11:35.960 --> 0:11:39.160
<v Speaker 1>that Brown can avoid Harris enough to be fantasy relevant

0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.800
<v Speaker 1>this week. Don't worry about any of the other receivers,

0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:45.720
<v Speaker 1>including tight end Dawson Knox, back up running game Devin

0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:48.040
<v Speaker 1>Singletary fifteen or more touches and two of the last

0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:51.480
<v Speaker 1>three games, he's established himself as the number one running

0:11:51.480 --> 0:11:55.960
<v Speaker 1>back here. Although Frank Gore is annoyingly still involved somewhat,

0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:58.720
<v Speaker 1>mostly just at the goal line, and even then he's

0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:00.800
<v Speaker 1>not good anymore. Well, and that's part of the problem too,

0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:03.439
<v Speaker 1>is that Josh Allen scores some of the goal lines

0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:07.520
<v Speaker 1>the goal line touchdowns as well, So single Tarry's upside

0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:10.520
<v Speaker 1>here is pretty minimal because of the lack of scoring.

0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:12.760
<v Speaker 1>It's yardage and Denver held Nick Chubb to sixty five

0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.720
<v Speaker 1>yards on twenty carries. Dalvin Cooked had just twenty six

0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:18.960
<v Speaker 1>yards in the last two weeks, So just a very

0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:22.280
<v Speaker 1>low C grade on singletary. That's it for this matchup. Alright,

0:12:22.360 --> 0:12:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Jacksonville takes on Tennessee Leonard Fournette hopefully getting back on track.

0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:29.679
<v Speaker 1>He's trending the wrong direction over the last four weeks

0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:34.120
<v Speaker 1>with diminishing rushing attempts, rushing yards yards per carry four

0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:36.920
<v Speaker 1>consecutive weeks. But Doug Moron after last week came out

0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:39.480
<v Speaker 1>and said we've got to get Leonard for Nett back

0:12:39.480 --> 0:12:42.360
<v Speaker 1>on track. And now he gets a Titans team that

0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:46.120
<v Speaker 1>over its last five games is allowing one hundred forty

0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:50.480
<v Speaker 1>one total yards and a touchdown per game to opposing

0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:53.800
<v Speaker 1>running backs. Leonard Fournette gets virtually all of the work,

0:12:53.840 --> 0:12:56.079
<v Speaker 1>so he's gonna get If those averages were to hold,

0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.800
<v Speaker 1>he'd be looking at one one and a touchdown. UM

0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:01.760
<v Speaker 1>we for Nett when they these seems met in week three,

0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:04.520
<v Speaker 1>put up ninety two yards, which is a solid performance.

0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:07.920
<v Speaker 1>I think a better one on tap here in all probability,

0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:10.360
<v Speaker 1>I've got a B grade Onlinard four Net for this week.

0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:14.040
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the passing game. I expected Nick Foles

0:13:14.040 --> 0:13:15.800
<v Speaker 1>to be rusty last week, and we talked a little

0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:17.360
<v Speaker 1>bit about it on this show last week, and I

0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:19.920
<v Speaker 1>was wrong. You look great against the Colts secondary, throwing

0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:23.160
<v Speaker 1>for almost three hundred yards, completing seventy of his passes

0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:26.800
<v Speaker 1>in his first game back off I r All three

0:13:26.920 --> 0:13:29.880
<v Speaker 1>of Nick foles receivers have got plus matchups. Are gonna

0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:32.120
<v Speaker 1>talk about them in a little bit more too. Over

0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:36.480
<v Speaker 1>the past month, the average quarterbacks start against the slumping

0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:42.160
<v Speaker 1>Titan secondary three hundred twenty seven yards and two and

0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:46.600
<v Speaker 1>a half touchdowns per game. WHOA, that's some solid upside

0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:48.280
<v Speaker 1>for Nick Foles and that's why he has a B

0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:50.959
<v Speaker 1>grade in this game. His his go to receiver, d

0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:55.559
<v Speaker 1>J Shark, also with a B grade. The Titans started

0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:58.400
<v Speaker 1>the season well against opposing receivers, but they've stumbled of late.

0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.920
<v Speaker 1>They've allowed three consecutive when hundred yard games. Mike Evans,

0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.400
<v Speaker 1>d J Moore, Tyreek Kill those are really good receivers.

0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:07.240
<v Speaker 1>But d J. Chark probably belongs in that conversation. He

0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:10.760
<v Speaker 1>overcame a tough matchup last week. He'll have to do

0:14:10.760 --> 0:14:13.120
<v Speaker 1>it against the Dory Jackson here, who's got good speed

0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:15.880
<v Speaker 1>to match Chark and speeds a super fast receiver. But

0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Chark had the touchdown for Nick Foles in game one.

0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:22.840
<v Speaker 1>He had the two touchdowns last week from Nick Foles.

0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:24.880
<v Speaker 1>Tough to leave him on the bench here. He's way

0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:27.440
<v Speaker 1>bigger than I thought. To DJ, he is a big

0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:33.560
<v Speaker 1>four at least two pounds. But uh, and then how

0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:35.840
<v Speaker 1>about this for a flyer. If somebody wants to just

0:14:35.880 --> 0:14:38.000
<v Speaker 1>steal this for take a chance on me next segment

0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:43.040
<v Speaker 1>you can. We have been your Chris Conley leader this year,

0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:48.640
<v Speaker 1>correctly predicting all like three of Chris Conley's big games.

0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:53.000
<v Speaker 1>This is shaping up well of his career. Yeah without

0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:55.160
<v Speaker 1>actually it is probably career. Never happened with the Chiefs

0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:58.560
<v Speaker 1>conmly overwhelmingly runs from the side of the field guarded

0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:02.720
<v Speaker 1>by cornerback Lashawn Sims, who is the backup to Malcolm Butler,

0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:05.640
<v Speaker 1>who just went on i R. In his first start,

0:15:06.040 --> 0:15:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Sims allowed all five of the passes in his coverage

0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:12.880
<v Speaker 1>to be completed. Also, Sims is a slower, bigger cornerback,

0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:15.960
<v Speaker 1>and Conley is just all straight line speed. So there

0:15:16.000 --> 0:15:19.840
<v Speaker 1>could be a big game for for Chris Conley in

0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:21.840
<v Speaker 1>this game and he gets a sea grain. Let's go

0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:23.960
<v Speaker 1>to the Tennessee side, where Derrick Henry is an obvious

0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:27.160
<v Speaker 1>a and the Jaguars run defense has lapsed badly. Over

0:15:27.200 --> 0:15:31.240
<v Speaker 1>the past two games, all five of the running backs

0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:35.200
<v Speaker 1>to get a carry against the Jaguars has scored or

0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:37.880
<v Speaker 1>top to one hundred yards. Allow me to repeat what

0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:40.680
<v Speaker 1>I just said because it's so absurd. In the past

0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:45.160
<v Speaker 1>two games, all five running backs to touch the ball

0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:49.120
<v Speaker 1>against the Jaguars have scored or top to one hundred yards.

0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Derrick Henry obvious. I almost don't believe you. Do you

0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:59.920
<v Speaker 1>want me to say it that that might be excess

0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:02.800
<v Speaker 1>if um there are some starters in the passing game,

0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:05.200
<v Speaker 1>but not many here. Ryan Tannehill with a C grade

0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:07.320
<v Speaker 1>as a reminder, because they were on by last week

0:16:07.360 --> 0:16:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Prior to that, it was a month of good starts

0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:13.160
<v Speaker 1>for Ryan Tannehill, with multiple touchdowns and or three hundred

0:16:13.200 --> 0:16:17.240
<v Speaker 1>yards in all four starts. Jaguars secondary has been awfully good.

0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:19.440
<v Speaker 1>They'll they haven't even missed Jalen Ramsey over the past

0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:21.640
<v Speaker 1>six weeks. They've allowed per game averages of just two

0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:25.000
<v Speaker 1>d ten yards and one point three touchdowns. Jaguars run

0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:26.840
<v Speaker 1>defense is so bad. I just think the whole game

0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:28.880
<v Speaker 1>plan here tilts towards Derrick Henry and I've got just

0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:31.520
<v Speaker 1>a C grade on Ryan Tannehill. And the only receiver

0:16:31.560 --> 0:16:34.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm recommending that you start is Delaney Walker, and that's

0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:36.280
<v Speaker 1>only if he plays as he's shaping up as a

0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:39.040
<v Speaker 1>true game time decision. He's had the ankle injuries missed

0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:40.880
<v Speaker 1>over a month. But if he's a full go, he

0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:44.200
<v Speaker 1>faces a Jaguars defense that's been susceptible to tight ends,

0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:49.560
<v Speaker 1>allowing three scores in three games. But again, it's dangerous.

0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Walker will come into this game gimp beyond the ankle.

0:16:52.480 --> 0:16:55.040
<v Speaker 1>So you're you're kind of you that's the risk you're taking,

0:16:55.040 --> 0:16:56.600
<v Speaker 1>but a tight end you might not have a choice.

0:16:57.120 --> 0:16:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Corey Davis and A. J. Brown are on the bench.

0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:03.280
<v Speaker 1>I've mentioned the Jaguars secondary has been very good and

0:17:03.360 --> 0:17:06.840
<v Speaker 1>those guys are too inconsistent. Uh Coreya is probably coming

0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:10.000
<v Speaker 1>back from his hip injury, but at this point, who cares?

0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:14.919
<v Speaker 1>Who cares? Everything charged? It's me everything. Charge is available

<v Speaker 1>on the waiver while. I will tell you who they

0:18:08.720 --> 0:18:10.760
<v Speaker 1>are in just a second. But first, there is a

0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:14.639
<v Speaker 1>fresh new version of the fanball app available in the

<v Speaker 1>of that androids nonsense over here. One thing at a time,

0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:23.120

<v Speaker 1>fan ball app for you. Check that out. My co

0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:29.520
<v Speaker 1>host and I are going to provide three quarterbacks, three

0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:31.760
<v Speaker 1>running backs, and three receivers, so we believe are startable

0:18:31.840 --> 0:18:34.719
<v Speaker 1>this week, beginning with Brian Johnson at the quarterback position.

0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:41.920
<v Speaker 1>Who you got Next week? We'll be playing the Happy

0:18:41.960 --> 0:18:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Trombone next week after goes off against the Giants this

0:18:48.640 --> 0:18:52.040
<v Speaker 1>week in Chicago. Yes, true, Whisky sucks, but he has

0:18:52.080 --> 0:18:54.879
<v Speaker 1>produced in good matchups through for three touchdowns against Detroit

0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:58.840
<v Speaker 1>and Washington, and this is a very good matchup. Eight

0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:00.960
<v Speaker 1>of the ten quarterbacks the Giants have faced at that

0:19:01.040 --> 0:19:05.240
<v Speaker 1>top ten finishes regardless of what fantasy football format you play.

0:19:05.720 --> 0:19:08.560
<v Speaker 1>And Mitch Dubinski is going to run in this game,

0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:13.360
<v Speaker 1>do you think so? His fifteen carries this year, Gardner

0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:16.480
<v Speaker 1>Minshew has three times carries. I know why don't they

0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:18.200
<v Speaker 1>use him that way? I don't know, you know why?

0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Because he is sad trombone ski This This is from something?

0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Yes it is? What is it? Oh? I know this? Listener,

0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:43.520
<v Speaker 1>Jim Crowley tipping me off to this? What is I

0:19:43.680 --> 0:19:52.280
<v Speaker 1>know this? Man? It's from a movie. It's from a movie.

0:19:52.720 --> 0:20:01.520
<v Speaker 1>It's the world's worst trombone solo. It's from American pie too. Yes, yes, yes,

0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:05.960
<v Speaker 1>to pretend to pretend that he's he's like some concert trombonist.

0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Tromp trombonist? Is that? What are you are? Tricky? Your well?

0:20:13.000 --> 0:20:15.760
<v Speaker 1>Back to the running like there's more to talk at

0:20:15.920 --> 0:20:19.919
<v Speaker 1>Anyone's just stop, Giant said, seeing the second most rushing

0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:23.399
<v Speaker 1>attempts by quarterbacks and allowed the most rushing touchdowns to quarterback.

0:20:23.440 --> 0:20:27.919
<v Speaker 1>So he's going to sam rushing touchdown? All right, what

0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:31.080
<v Speaker 1>other quarterback can we use? We can use Ryan Fitzpatrick

0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:33.960
<v Speaker 1>this week chart. I'm a little surprised and quite frankly

0:20:34.000 --> 0:20:36.280
<v Speaker 1>saddened that you you chose here to take a chance

0:20:36.320 --> 0:20:39.159
<v Speaker 1>on me guys before me and passed up a golden

0:20:39.200 --> 0:20:44.520
<v Speaker 1>opportunity and collect beard. This one is all about the matchup. Well, first,

0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:47.000
<v Speaker 1>let's get into a weird a little bit here. He's

0:20:47.000 --> 0:20:49.600
<v Speaker 1>been wildly inconsistent, but he did manage three in twenty

0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:52.080
<v Speaker 1>three yards against a very good Buffalo secondary, which I

0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:55.560
<v Speaker 1>outlined in the previous matchup, and he had multiple touchdown

0:20:55.560 --> 0:20:58.480
<v Speaker 1>passes in two of three games before that, so he's

0:20:58.520 --> 0:21:00.560
<v Speaker 1>finding a way to move the ball to Ande Parker

0:21:00.600 --> 0:21:03.120
<v Speaker 1>looks pretty good at wide receiver. But this, of course,

0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:05.720
<v Speaker 1>is about the matchup with the Browns, who you may

0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:08.280
<v Speaker 1>have heard have some suspensions coming into this game. Miles

0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:10.879
<v Speaker 1>Garrett is out, Larry Ogan job is out. They've already

0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:14.800
<v Speaker 1>been missing Olivier Vernon, Morgan Burnett. They're missing four of

0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:17.919
<v Speaker 1>their top starters on defense, and even before all of

0:21:17.960 --> 0:21:20.160
<v Speaker 1>that happened, they were a bottom half passing defense. They've

0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:22.720
<v Speaker 1>allowed at least two touchdowns to seven of the last

0:21:22.760 --> 0:21:25.919
<v Speaker 1>eight quarterbacks they faced, and that was against guys like

0:21:25.960 --> 0:21:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Brandon Allen, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Jared Goff, not even good players.

0:21:29.000 --> 0:21:31.720
<v Speaker 1>So Ryan Fitzpatrick this week, let's roll with Stu Beard. Jimmy,

0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:35.119
<v Speaker 1>she's pretty good. I've got Jeff Chris Driskell going up

0:21:35.160 --> 0:21:38.480
<v Speaker 1>against what he did? Uh, Jeff Driskell shock He played

0:21:38.520 --> 0:21:40.720
<v Speaker 1>shockingly well last week. Actually, in both of his starts,

0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:43.840
<v Speaker 1>he's played very well and against good defenses Chicago and Dallas.

0:21:44.200 --> 0:21:46.840
<v Speaker 1>His twenty four point after last week would have beaten

0:21:46.840 --> 0:21:50.439
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys if his defense wasn't completely broken. He goes

0:21:50.520 --> 0:21:53.600
<v Speaker 1>up against the Redskins. They won excellent cornerback Quentin Dunbar,

0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:57.560
<v Speaker 1>two terrible ones, Fabian Moreau and Josh Norman. Josh Norman,

0:21:57.600 --> 0:21:59.480
<v Speaker 1>by the way, gave up two touchdowns last week in

0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:04.119
<v Speaker 1>his coverage most frequently Kenny Golladay and Danny Amandola are

0:22:04.119 --> 0:22:07.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna line up against those two. Those are exploitable matchups

0:22:07.080 --> 0:22:10.440
<v Speaker 1>for Jeff Durriskull. Let's go to the running back position, Brian,

0:22:10.480 --> 0:22:12.840
<v Speaker 1>who you got? You actually might want to fire up

0:22:12.880 --> 0:22:14.719
<v Speaker 1>the time machine for this one charge because it's a

0:22:14.760 --> 0:22:25.240
<v Speaker 1>blast from the past Jets versus the Rai. He looked

0:22:25.480 --> 0:22:28.080
<v Speaker 1>good last week in sort of limited action. I don't

0:22:28.080 --> 0:22:29.800
<v Speaker 1>know if you watched, but I had some great runs.

0:22:29.800 --> 0:22:32.439
<v Speaker 1>Should have scored if not for the turf monster at

0:22:32.480 --> 0:22:36.280
<v Speaker 1>FedEx Field in Washington or Maryland for that matter. Um

0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:38.680
<v Speaker 1>who has not had great runs this year's Levon Bell

0:22:38.840 --> 0:22:41.840
<v Speaker 1>hasn't topped seventy rushing yards in the game this year disaster.

0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:45.359
<v Speaker 1>Two weeks ago, Bell was playing playing over the snaps.

0:22:45.480 --> 0:22:49.240
<v Speaker 1>He's hovering right above six right now. Oakland had a

0:22:49.320 --> 0:22:51.920
<v Speaker 1>really good run defense early on, but they've allowed over

0:22:51.960 --> 0:22:54.359
<v Speaker 1>five yards per carry over the last three games against

0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:57.800
<v Speaker 1>some pretty bad offensive lines to like the Bengals and

0:22:57.880 --> 0:23:02.200
<v Speaker 1>the Lions. And lastly, we all know Powell can catch

0:23:02.240 --> 0:23:04.320
<v Speaker 1>the ball and um, let me see I had a

0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:06.639
<v Speaker 1>good stat here for that. Hold on one second, the

0:23:06.720 --> 0:23:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Raiders have allowed at least one receiving touchdown to a

0:23:09.040 --> 0:23:13.160
<v Speaker 1>running back in four straight games. Back, that is deep.

0:23:13.359 --> 0:23:15.840
<v Speaker 1>I like it. Let's go to Christian Peterson. Who's your

0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:17.840
<v Speaker 1>take a chance of me running back? Let's go back

0:23:17.840 --> 0:23:21.000
<v Speaker 1>to this riveting Dolphins Brown's matchup. I'm gonna go with

0:23:21.080 --> 0:23:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Laird all right, tell us running back for the Dolphin.

0:23:25.880 --> 0:23:29.080
<v Speaker 1>He's a running back, an undrafted rookie from California. If

0:23:29.080 --> 0:23:32.680
<v Speaker 1>you haven't seen him, he has similar traits physically to

0:23:32.880 --> 0:23:38.880
<v Speaker 1>running backs like Christian McCaffrey, Danny Woodhead. I'm sure Meryl Hodge,

0:23:39.560 --> 0:23:45.320
<v Speaker 1>Mike cal stots what, they all have a similar physical character.

0:23:45.359 --> 0:23:48.000
<v Speaker 1>They're all very good football players. Yes, they all played

0:23:48.040 --> 0:23:50.280
<v Speaker 1>running back. They all played running back. Yes, yeah, that's

0:23:50.320 --> 0:23:53.000
<v Speaker 1>the only similarities I could find between all those players.

0:23:53.040 --> 0:23:55.800
<v Speaker 1>He used a lot of eye black, that's true. Yeah, yeah,

0:23:55.840 --> 0:23:59.159
<v Speaker 1>so Patrick laired right now, he's somehow is still behind

0:23:59.240 --> 0:24:02.719
<v Speaker 1>Kaylin Blah on the running back the chart there, despite

0:24:02.720 --> 0:24:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Belage averaging last week forty three point seven inches per

0:24:07.040 --> 0:24:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Touchlage is awful. At some point they have to turn

0:24:10.920 --> 0:24:12.560
<v Speaker 1>the page here, and it could be this week, and

0:24:12.600 --> 0:24:15.880
<v Speaker 1>it could be Patrick Laird. He had six receptions last week,

0:24:15.960 --> 0:24:17.879
<v Speaker 1>so he's clearly the pass catching guy. If you're in

0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:20.960
<v Speaker 1>a PPR league. God knows, it's not Bolage, not Blage.

0:24:21.080 --> 0:24:24.440
<v Speaker 1>We know that. So if he keeps those catches, keeps

0:24:24.480 --> 0:24:27.679
<v Speaker 1>the receiving work, and adds in ten or twelve touches

0:24:27.720 --> 0:24:31.119
<v Speaker 1>against this beat up, broken down defense, you never know.

0:24:31.200 --> 0:24:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Take a chance on Patrick Laird. I have to make

0:24:33.359 --> 0:24:35.520
<v Speaker 1>a quick correction. I meant to say before the Bengals

0:24:35.560 --> 0:24:37.879
<v Speaker 1>game last week, the Raiders had at least one receiving

0:24:37.920 --> 0:24:40.280
<v Speaker 1>touchdown in fourth straight. Didn't last week against the Bengals.

0:24:40.280 --> 0:24:47.959
<v Speaker 1>But that changes everything. And I know that was just

0:24:48.040 --> 0:24:49.960
<v Speaker 1>it was just gnawing at me. I just saidn't. I

0:24:49.960 --> 0:24:53.320
<v Speaker 1>couldn't concentrate into fix that might take a chance to

0:24:53.320 --> 0:24:54.760
<v Speaker 1>be running back is A one A and one B.

0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Two guys from the same team. Jalen Samuels, who's largely

0:24:57.840 --> 0:25:01.680
<v Speaker 1>already rostered, but then Benny s l who's coming off

0:25:01.760 --> 0:25:05.080
<v Speaker 1>of injury and is available much more readily, in fact

0:25:05.119 --> 0:25:07.920
<v Speaker 1>available in most leagues. They go up againt Cincinnati. Now

0:25:08.040 --> 0:25:11.520
<v Speaker 1>James Conner is, barring a last minute resurrection, is not

0:25:11.520 --> 0:25:12.800
<v Speaker 1>going to go in this game. In fact, he's been

0:25:12.880 --> 0:25:15.439
<v Speaker 1>ruled out. He's been ruled out. Jalen Samuels has average

0:25:15.520 --> 0:25:18.480
<v Speaker 1>nineteen touches per game in the two full games Connor

0:25:18.520 --> 0:25:21.160
<v Speaker 1>has missed, so you know he's gonna get plenty of touches.

0:25:21.400 --> 0:25:24.760
<v Speaker 1>But he's no workhorse, and especially as a runner, so

0:25:24.800 --> 0:25:27.040
<v Speaker 1>they will go to Benny Snell to do a lot

0:25:27.119 --> 0:25:29.120
<v Speaker 1>of the running. This is a Bengals team allowing one

0:25:29.200 --> 0:25:33.160
<v Speaker 1>hundred sixty three total yards per game to opposing running backs.

0:25:33.200 --> 0:25:35.359
<v Speaker 1>That the third most in the league. If it's a

0:25:35.440 --> 0:25:38.359
<v Speaker 1>hundred and sixty three divided by both guys, they're both

0:25:38.520 --> 0:25:42.679
<v Speaker 1>value plays at that stage. The forty Niners, Cardinals, and

0:25:42.920 --> 0:25:47.680
<v Speaker 1>Rams dual back fields all had lucrative fantasy days, and

0:25:47.800 --> 0:25:50.480
<v Speaker 1>I think there's a good opportunity here for both Benny

0:25:50.560 --> 0:25:55.199
<v Speaker 1>Snell and Jalen Samuel's to get it done. Um runners

0:25:55.200 --> 0:25:57.960
<v Speaker 1>who got in the eight to fourteen carry range. This

0:25:58.040 --> 0:26:01.160
<v Speaker 1>is very specific on there's who got in the eight

0:26:01.160 --> 0:26:05.399
<v Speaker 1>to fourteen carry range against the Bengals average fifty rushing

0:26:05.440 --> 0:26:08.879
<v Speaker 1>yards and almost one touchdown per game. Let's go to

0:26:08.920 --> 0:26:11.760
<v Speaker 1>the wild receiver position. Brian who you got, I'm going

0:26:11.800 --> 0:26:14.919
<v Speaker 1>Batman and Robin here and pairing Mitch Dubiskie with Taylor

0:26:15.000 --> 0:26:18.479
<v Speaker 1>Gabriel was just a still playing and I went all

0:26:18.520 --> 0:26:21.399
<v Speaker 1>in on the Bengals last week. It wasn't a total disaster.

0:26:21.880 --> 0:26:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Tad Okay, I hope he's feeling all right, but anyway,

0:26:23.840 --> 0:26:27.120
<v Speaker 1>Taylor Gabriel against the Giants. Gabriel saw fourteen targets last week,

0:26:27.240 --> 0:26:31.040
<v Speaker 1>with Jalen Ramsey shadowing Allen Robinson to North Jenkins probably

0:26:31.320 --> 0:26:33.439
<v Speaker 1>shadows a rob For the most part, it doesn't really

0:26:33.480 --> 0:26:35.119
<v Speaker 1>matter that Jenkins is a sort of a show of

0:26:35.200 --> 0:26:37.879
<v Speaker 1>his former self. It means Taylor Gabriel was he a

0:26:37.880 --> 0:26:41.640
<v Speaker 1>ton of rookie corner DeAndre Baker who's getting flamed this year,

0:26:42.000 --> 0:26:45.119
<v Speaker 1>allowing a touchdown in every eight point five targets he

0:26:45.160 --> 0:26:47.760
<v Speaker 1>sees and a pass the rating of a hundred and

0:26:47.800 --> 0:26:51.520
<v Speaker 1>forty nine point nine. So he made a play once.

0:26:51.600 --> 0:26:54.360
<v Speaker 1>I guess right, I guess that subtracks point one from

0:26:54.359 --> 0:26:57.959
<v Speaker 1>your something like that. Yeah, Taylor Gabriel. Taylor Gabriel, all right,

0:26:58.560 --> 0:27:01.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go with tight end here, Ryan Griffin with

0:27:01.880 --> 0:27:04.320
<v Speaker 1>the Cardinals on a by this week, we need some

0:27:04.400 --> 0:27:07.240
<v Speaker 1>other defense to pick on for our tight end streamer

0:27:07.320 --> 0:27:10.359
<v Speaker 1>this week, So let's enter the Raiders. The Jets opponent

0:27:10.440 --> 0:27:12.440
<v Speaker 1>this week. There a bottom three tight end defense. They've

0:27:12.440 --> 0:27:16.400
<v Speaker 1>allowed seven tight end touchdowns this year, and Griffin has

0:27:16.440 --> 0:27:18.919
<v Speaker 1>actually been really pretty good over the last month or so.

0:27:18.960 --> 0:27:22.159
<v Speaker 1>He's kind of become what everybody thought Chris Herndon was

0:27:22.200 --> 0:27:25.000
<v Speaker 1>going to be before the year before injuries side uh

0:27:25.119 --> 0:27:28.200
<v Speaker 1>sidetracked his season. Griffin had five catches, a hundred nine yards,

0:27:28.240 --> 0:27:31.240
<v Speaker 1>and a touchdown last week. He had three Fantasy relevant

0:27:31.240 --> 0:27:34.280
<v Speaker 1>performances in the five weeks before that, topping fifty yards

0:27:34.320 --> 0:27:37.120
<v Speaker 1>and two of them three touchdowns in that span. So

0:27:37.600 --> 0:27:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Griffin is legit here. If you've got a buy issue,

0:27:40.000 --> 0:27:43.119
<v Speaker 1>if you've got Travis Kelsey maybe on buy look to

0:27:43.280 --> 0:27:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Griffin for your streamer. When Mohammed Sanu went to

0:27:46.600 --> 0:27:48.560
<v Speaker 1>the Patriots, by the way, she out this week, so

0:27:48.760 --> 0:27:52.199
<v Speaker 1>keep keeping out of your lineup. M Russell Gauge became

0:27:52.240 --> 0:27:54.560
<v Speaker 1>the slot receiver for the Falcons. He goes up against

0:27:54.560 --> 0:27:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay is now on their third slot

0:27:57.119 --> 0:28:01.119
<v Speaker 1>corner of the year, and with Ston Hooper out and

0:28:01.200 --> 0:28:03.919
<v Speaker 1>DeVonta Freeman out, there's gonna be a lot of volume

0:28:03.960 --> 0:28:06.880
<v Speaker 1>to go around. Russell Gauge has seen eighteen targets over

0:28:06.920 --> 0:28:10.960
<v Speaker 1>the past three games. That's all you need against Tampa Bay.

0:28:11.000 --> 0:28:14.600
<v Speaker 1>They're giving up two hundred forties six yards just to

0:28:14.640 --> 0:28:19.280
<v Speaker 1>the wide receiver position, second most in the league. It's

0:28:19.320 --> 0:28:21.600
<v Speaker 1>a great opportunity. That's over the last three games. Over

0:28:21.640 --> 0:28:23.880
<v Speaker 1>the last three games, by the way, four different receivers

0:28:23.880 --> 0:28:26.000
<v Speaker 1>of top one yards. It was the last three games.

0:28:26.880 --> 0:28:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Eight receiver touchdowns allowed by Tampa Bay in three games.

0:28:31.800 --> 0:28:35.040
<v Speaker 1>Russell Gauge, you take a chance of me and final, uh,

0:28:35.160 --> 0:28:39.000
<v Speaker 1>take a chance of me player for this particular segment,

0:28:39.080 --> 0:28:41.640
<v Speaker 1>we were gonna work in one quick matchup as well, Brian.

0:28:41.680 --> 0:28:45.120
<v Speaker 1>The Giants are taking on Chicago. The last time we

0:28:45.160 --> 0:28:48.000
<v Speaker 1>saw st Kwon Barkley, it was a disaster, and now

0:28:48.200 --> 0:28:50.800
<v Speaker 1>he travels to Chicago for a very tough matchup. What

0:28:50.840 --> 0:28:52.840
<v Speaker 1>do you think of se Kwon Barkley in this one?

0:28:53.240 --> 0:28:59.680
<v Speaker 1>I love him a nobody wants the recency bias, and

0:28:59.760 --> 0:29:02.440
<v Speaker 1>yet Chicago really not that daunting of a matchup without

0:29:02.440 --> 0:29:05.440
<v Speaker 1>a Keem Hicks. They've allowed nine rushing touchdowns running backs

0:29:05.440 --> 0:29:07.480
<v Speaker 1>in the six games since losing the Key Micks, and

0:29:07.520 --> 0:29:09.600
<v Speaker 1>the Bears have yielded the second most targets of running

0:29:09.600 --> 0:29:11.880
<v Speaker 1>backs to the season. We've seen se Quon Barkley a

0:29:11.880 --> 0:29:15.440
<v Speaker 1>lot double digit passes multiple times, so I love so

0:29:15.640 --> 0:29:19.239
<v Speaker 1>this year. Yep, that's true because Eli Manning is not

0:29:19.320 --> 0:29:22.400
<v Speaker 1>the court. But anyway, because they can throw the ball

0:29:22.440 --> 0:29:25.800
<v Speaker 1>downfield now alright, so the wide receiver situation is pretty

0:29:25.840 --> 0:29:28.960
<v Speaker 1>sticky here for New York Sterling Shepherd was cleared on Friday,

0:29:29.000 --> 0:29:32.360
<v Speaker 1>so he will play. I had a not even a salad,

0:29:32.360 --> 0:29:34.720
<v Speaker 1>be a salad sea on Golden Tate if Shepherd sat,

0:29:34.760 --> 0:29:38.760
<v Speaker 1>But now that Shepherd's playing, I don't know. Don't stay

0:29:38.800 --> 0:29:42.360
<v Speaker 1>with it. Shephard probably helps Tate. Well, it's an awful

0:29:42.400 --> 0:29:45.400
<v Speaker 1>matchup all around. Uh, speaking to Tate, and whoever runs

0:29:45.400 --> 0:29:47.240
<v Speaker 1>out the slot, it's gonna be Tate and Shephard, probably

0:29:47.240 --> 0:29:49.800
<v Speaker 1>mainly Tate. Over the last four games, Chicago has held

0:29:49.840 --> 0:29:52.480
<v Speaker 1>slot receivers through thirty nine yards per game and no touchdowns.

0:29:52.720 --> 0:29:55.920
<v Speaker 1>That includes guys like Keenan Allen and Cooper Cup. So

0:29:56.560 --> 0:29:59.880
<v Speaker 1>see for Tate. I'm gonna put Shepherd and Slate and

0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:02.360
<v Speaker 1>the bench just because the Bears have allowed only one

0:30:02.440 --> 0:30:05.360
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver touchdown since Week four, and during that same

0:30:05.400 --> 0:30:08.200
<v Speaker 1>stretch only Stephan Digs and Michael Thomas were able to

0:30:08.080 --> 0:30:10.920
<v Speaker 1>top eighty receiving yards. And these guys aren't as got

0:30:11.000 --> 0:30:13.360
<v Speaker 1>not as good. Uh. And Evan Ingram speaking of players

0:30:13.400 --> 0:30:16.080
<v Speaker 1>who are out, he is out. His backup, Rett Ellison

0:30:16.200 --> 0:30:18.480
<v Speaker 1>is out. I don't even know where the backup is

0:30:18.520 --> 0:30:19.840
<v Speaker 1>off the top of my head right now, but you

0:30:19.880 --> 0:30:22.000
<v Speaker 1>do not want to play him. Outside of a big

0:30:22.080 --> 0:30:25.520
<v Speaker 1>day by zach ertz Uh a few weeks back, Chicago

0:30:25.560 --> 0:30:27.520
<v Speaker 1>has not allowed any other tight end to top four

0:30:27.520 --> 0:30:29.720
<v Speaker 1>catches or fifty yards. And Daniel Jones is on the

0:30:29.760 --> 0:30:31.760
<v Speaker 1>bench too, and this one. Chicago is allowing less than

0:30:31.800 --> 0:30:34.200
<v Speaker 1>one passing touchdown per game on average, and only one

0:30:34.280 --> 0:30:36.160
<v Speaker 1>quarterback has hit three d passing yards and that was

0:30:36.200 --> 0:30:39.840
<v Speaker 1>case Keenum in garbage time over the Bear side, starting

0:30:39.840 --> 0:30:42.640
<v Speaker 1>with David Montgomery will give him a b. Even though

0:30:42.680 --> 0:30:44.760
<v Speaker 1>over the last three weeks the snap percentage has dropped

0:30:44.760 --> 0:30:48.920
<v Speaker 1>from seventy three to sixty one to forty six last week. UH,

0:30:49.080 --> 0:30:51.280
<v Speaker 1>you'd expect the snap percentage to climb this week. Though

0:30:51.680 --> 0:30:53.960
<v Speaker 1>the Bears are favored at home, the Giants owned the

0:30:53.960 --> 0:30:57.720
<v Speaker 1>fourth highest opponent rushing play percentage and opposing lead backs

0:30:57.760 --> 0:30:59.840
<v Speaker 1>have scored in or top two hundred and ten compoyards

0:30:59.840 --> 0:31:01.800
<v Speaker 1>and I with the Giants last six. So let's put

0:31:01.960 --> 0:31:04.000
<v Speaker 1>a b on David Montgomery. I'm putting three Cone on

0:31:04.000 --> 0:31:06.800
<v Speaker 1>the bench, though there's no angle here. The Giants haven't

0:31:06.800 --> 0:31:09.520
<v Speaker 1>surrendered receiving scored to a running back, and only two

0:31:09.560 --> 0:31:11.920
<v Speaker 1>loan backs have topped four receptions and those were James

0:31:11.960 --> 0:31:14.840
<v Speaker 1>White and Dalvin Cook. Treat Cone is not in that company.

0:31:15.360 --> 0:31:17.560
<v Speaker 1>Allen Robinson. You gonna give him an a though, even

0:31:17.560 --> 0:31:20.440
<v Speaker 1>with Mitch Rubisky as his quarterback, he looks great. Uh.

0:31:20.480 --> 0:31:22.920
<v Speaker 1>He had Jalen Ramsey beat multiple times last week, but

0:31:23.000 --> 0:31:26.160
<v Speaker 1>Sad Trombosky just couldn't find him. Might get shadowed by

0:31:26.160 --> 0:31:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Genera's Jenkins. I mentioned that, but bay rob also runs

0:31:29.360 --> 0:31:30.880
<v Speaker 1>out of the slot a third of the time. He'll

0:31:30.920 --> 0:31:32.320
<v Speaker 1>be all over the place. I just like a Mulot

0:31:32.360 --> 0:31:34.560
<v Speaker 1>on this weekend, and also like Taylor Gabriel against this

0:31:34.560 --> 0:31:37.160
<v Speaker 1>awful Giants secondaries. Might take a chance on me. Wide

0:31:37.160 --> 0:31:40.040
<v Speaker 1>receiver Anthony Miller almost gave him a starting grade. Eleven

0:31:40.040 --> 0:31:43.880
<v Speaker 1>targets for him last week, but just uh six combined

0:31:43.920 --> 0:31:45.600
<v Speaker 1>looks in the three games prior, so we got to

0:31:45.600 --> 0:31:49.200
<v Speaker 1>see more from him than Ben braw Necker. That's the

0:31:49.240 --> 0:31:52.160
<v Speaker 1>tight end now. They actually threw to him a punch

0:31:52.400 --> 0:31:57.120
<v Speaker 1>or brow Brownecker Brown. But tight ends have actually done

0:31:57.160 --> 0:31:59.200
<v Speaker 1>nothing against the Giants this year. I'm like last year

0:31:59.200 --> 0:32:01.120
<v Speaker 1>they were a media match up. So he's on the bench,

0:32:01.280 --> 0:32:03.760
<v Speaker 1>but Mitch Chubisky is not. Might take a chance on

0:32:03.880 --> 0:32:09.080
<v Speaker 1>me quarterback. Did you know fanball has daily fantasy auctions, Yes, auctions.

<v Speaker 1>SHARKI my co host or Brian Johnson and Christian Peterson

<v Speaker 1>major podcasting platforms, including the number one destination for podcasts,

0:33:21.080 --> 0:33:23.680
<v Speaker 1>the I Heart Radio app. Let's get back to the

0:33:23.720 --> 0:33:26.360
<v Speaker 1>matchups Miami takes on Cleveland. Christian, you already told us

0:33:26.360 --> 0:33:29.640
<v Speaker 1>you like Mighty Loves Stu Beard, Ryan Fitzpatrick. You told

0:33:29.720 --> 0:33:32.400
<v Speaker 1>us about Patrick Laird. Who do you like Fitzpatrick to

0:33:32.560 --> 0:33:35.600
<v Speaker 1>throw too? In this game? Well, there's really only one

0:33:35.640 --> 0:33:39.040
<v Speaker 1>off it really is there. We'll keep this short and sweetest.

0:33:39.080 --> 0:33:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Davante Parker. Uh. Parker has been consistently Albert Wilson a

0:33:44.000 --> 0:33:47.720
<v Speaker 1>loyal listener to this show, and he's pissed right now. Well,

0:33:47.760 --> 0:33:50.040
<v Speaker 1>he needs to do something before he gets mentioned here.

0:33:50.960 --> 0:33:53.080
<v Speaker 1>But Parker, the problem here is that the matchup is

0:33:53.120 --> 0:33:56.240
<v Speaker 1>actually pretty difficult against a Cleveland secondary that hasn't allowed

0:33:56.240 --> 0:33:58.760
<v Speaker 1>a one hud yard receiver since week three. They have

0:33:58.800 --> 0:34:02.480
<v Speaker 1>two very good cornerbacks, Denzel Ward and Greedy Williams. Parker

0:34:02.600 --> 0:34:05.200
<v Speaker 1>likely draws Ward, who has allowed just fifteen catches for

0:34:05.240 --> 0:34:08.120
<v Speaker 1>two d and thirty eight yards in his coverage this year,

0:34:08.160 --> 0:34:11.000
<v Speaker 1>so across ten games, that's like less than twenty five

0:34:11.080 --> 0:34:14.880
<v Speaker 1>yards per game. So I gave Parker a b start

0:34:14.960 --> 0:34:19.240
<v Speaker 1>here because I like there's injuries all over the Browns

0:34:19.280 --> 0:34:22.840
<v Speaker 1>front seven, so they Fitzpatrick should have time to find guys,

0:34:22.840 --> 0:34:25.160
<v Speaker 1>and the one guy that he looks to is DeVante Parker.

0:34:25.680 --> 0:34:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Titan Mike just Sicky has actually been somewhat relevant, targeted

0:34:29.200 --> 0:34:31.040
<v Speaker 1>six times each of the last three games, but he's

0:34:31.080 --> 0:34:33.560
<v Speaker 1>not doing much with those looks, so let's keep him

0:34:33.600 --> 0:34:35.440
<v Speaker 1>on the bench for now. That brings us to the

0:34:35.480 --> 0:34:37.920
<v Speaker 1>running game. Patrick Laird was might take a chance on

0:34:37.960 --> 0:34:40.360
<v Speaker 1>me running back. What do you do with Blage is

0:34:40.360 --> 0:34:44.400
<v Speaker 1>the problem. He probably will get fifteen to twenty touches

0:34:44.560 --> 0:34:48.200
<v Speaker 1>in this game. Yeah, against the defense that was allowing

0:34:48.280 --> 0:34:51.280
<v Speaker 1>four point seven five yards per carry to opposing backs

0:34:51.680 --> 0:34:55.440
<v Speaker 1>before the two suspensions here, you can't put him in

0:34:55.440 --> 0:34:57.560
<v Speaker 1>your flex spot. It's like if you have to if

0:34:57.760 --> 0:34:59.880
<v Speaker 1>there's no other running back. Essentially, it's when you pl

0:35:00.320 --> 0:35:04.719
<v Speaker 1>kalm Bloge. It's that bad opportunity. He's not gonna get that.

0:35:04.760 --> 0:35:06.840
<v Speaker 1>He's not gonna get catches. He might get a touchdown,

0:35:06.840 --> 0:35:09.560
<v Speaker 1>but he might also get twenty touches for twenty three yards,

0:35:09.960 --> 0:35:12.279
<v Speaker 1>which is fully capable of. Yes, so he's a high risk.

0:35:12.360 --> 0:35:17.200
<v Speaker 1>He's he's a high risk, low reward on the brown

0:35:17.320 --> 0:35:19.520
<v Speaker 1>side for once. I have a whole bunch of starting

0:35:19.560 --> 0:35:22.560
<v Speaker 1>grades here. Uh, this could be the moment we've all

0:35:22.600 --> 0:35:25.720
<v Speaker 1>been waiting here against the Dolphins. I've got Baker Mayfield

0:35:25.840 --> 0:35:28.040
<v Speaker 1>with just a B grade here. He's been better recently,

0:35:28.080 --> 0:35:31.000
<v Speaker 1>completing over six his passes in the last five games,

0:35:31.360 --> 0:35:34.480
<v Speaker 1>multiple touchdowns in two straight. And the Dolphins, as we know,

0:35:34.560 --> 0:35:37.920
<v Speaker 1>are just no good defensively. Seven of ten Dolphins opposing

0:35:38.239 --> 0:35:40.360
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks have thrown for at least two hundred and forty

0:35:40.400 --> 0:35:43.359
<v Speaker 1>six yards the only the only two that haven't thrown

0:35:43.440 --> 0:35:46.320
<v Speaker 1>multiple touchdown passes against them are Sam Donald and Bryan Hoyer.

0:35:46.400 --> 0:35:49.080
<v Speaker 1>So good chance for Baker Mayfield to to get off

0:35:49.080 --> 0:35:51.759
<v Speaker 1>the schneide here. And of course Odell Beckham Jr. Same

0:35:51.840 --> 0:35:54.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of deal here. Only one team has allowed more

0:35:54.080 --> 0:35:57.600
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver touchdowns than the Dolphins, John Brown just last

0:35:57.600 --> 0:36:00.800
<v Speaker 1>week hundred and thirty seven yards and two touchdowns. Beckham

0:36:01.200 --> 0:36:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Beckham owners are desperately hoping for a breakout like that,

0:36:04.080 --> 0:36:05.920
<v Speaker 1>and it could come here. This is an A grade

0:36:05.920 --> 0:36:09.400
<v Speaker 1>here Jarvis Landry. We've got a revenge game here for Landry,

0:36:09.880 --> 0:36:12.680
<v Speaker 1>and he scored touchdowns in three straight at least five

0:36:12.680 --> 0:36:15.080
<v Speaker 1>catches and three of his last four, so he's an

0:36:15.080 --> 0:36:17.840
<v Speaker 1>easy start this week as a B grade. That brings

0:36:17.880 --> 0:36:21.359
<v Speaker 1>me to the running game. Notably, David Najoku still out.

0:36:21.400 --> 0:36:24.400
<v Speaker 1>He's on i R. Could have returned this week technically,

0:36:24.440 --> 0:36:26.440
<v Speaker 1>but he's not quite ready yet, so he's out. Nick

0:36:26.520 --> 0:36:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Chubb is an easy A. At least twenty rushing attempts

0:36:28.960 --> 0:36:31.840
<v Speaker 1>in five straight games, He'll be the workhorse against Miami

0:36:31.880 --> 0:36:35.279
<v Speaker 1>defense that that's allowed the NFL's second most running back

0:36:35.400 --> 0:36:38.480
<v Speaker 1>rushing attempts and its second most yards. Chubb is an

0:36:38.480 --> 0:36:42.600
<v Speaker 1>easy A. Kareem Hunt in PPR formats, he's actually outscored

0:36:42.680 --> 0:36:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Chubb in the in the game since he came back,

0:36:44.760 --> 0:36:47.799
<v Speaker 1>averaging nine targets a game and game and the new

0:36:47.920 --> 0:36:51.040
<v Speaker 1>James White Yeah, combined thirteen catches in those games. He

0:36:51.120 --> 0:36:53.960
<v Speaker 1>also has ten ten carries too, so an average of

0:36:54.000 --> 0:36:56.600
<v Speaker 1>five carries. So in a game like this that's probably

0:36:56.600 --> 0:36:59.360
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a blowout. Kareem Hunt, He's got a B grade.

0:36:59.480 --> 0:37:03.239
<v Speaker 1>He's a very star borderline. Hey, borderline. Yeah, I love

0:37:03.360 --> 0:37:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Kareem Hunt in this matchup. Um, since Pittsburgh stakeing in

0:37:06.480 --> 0:37:10.279
<v Speaker 1>Cincinnati already told you about Jalen Samuel's and Benny Snell.

0:37:10.400 --> 0:37:12.759
<v Speaker 1>Those are my my, my one A and one B.

0:37:12.920 --> 0:37:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Take a chance on me, guys, and I've got a

0:37:15.960 --> 0:37:18.200
<v Speaker 1>I've got a B grade on Samuel's. I've got a

0:37:18.239 --> 0:37:21.040
<v Speaker 1>C grade on Benny Snell. Let's go to the passing game.

0:37:21.040 --> 0:37:23.480
<v Speaker 1>Mason Rudolph's on the bench. He's not good. The Steelers

0:37:23.680 --> 0:37:25.759
<v Speaker 1>don't need to pass to beat the Bengals because they're

0:37:25.760 --> 0:37:28.280
<v Speaker 1>so bad against the run. Um. He'll be without Juju

0:37:28.320 --> 0:37:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Smith Schuster for sure. He maybe without Deante Johnson. We

0:37:31.560 --> 0:37:34.480
<v Speaker 1>don't know yet. He was last seen with blood gushing

0:37:34.480 --> 0:37:36.520
<v Speaker 1>out of his ear. It's a like a waterfall of

0:37:36.560 --> 0:37:42.239
<v Speaker 1>blood just shooting out of the ear, like down the

0:37:42.280 --> 0:37:44.080
<v Speaker 1>side of his face. One of you somewhere in between

0:37:44.120 --> 0:37:47.440
<v Speaker 1>those two things. UM, I think he's playable. Assumming get

0:37:47.440 --> 0:37:50.200
<v Speaker 1>through the concussion protocol here. Over the past five weeks,

0:37:50.239 --> 0:37:52.520
<v Speaker 1>the Bengals are allowing the second most yards to wide

0:37:52.520 --> 0:37:57.360
<v Speaker 1>receivers two nine per game. Drake Kirkpatrick, there's best cornerback

0:37:57.400 --> 0:37:59.319
<v Speaker 1>went on I r a couple of weeks ago. It's

0:37:59.320 --> 0:38:01.680
<v Speaker 1>a nice opportuny to do for Deonte Johnson, assuming he

0:38:01.719 --> 0:38:06.600
<v Speaker 1>goes for James Washington. I think if Juju Misses and

0:38:06.880 --> 0:38:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Johnson are out, you might want to try James Washington here.

0:38:10.600 --> 0:38:14.920
<v Speaker 1>But man, he's he's been mostly disappointing, although showing signs

0:38:14.920 --> 0:38:17.239
<v Speaker 1>of life last week. So I do have a C

0:38:17.440 --> 0:38:20.200
<v Speaker 1>grade on James Washington and to see great advance McDonald.

0:38:20.400 --> 0:38:23.640
<v Speaker 1>Cincinnati is a terrible tight end defense. Six different tight

0:38:23.680 --> 0:38:25.920
<v Speaker 1>ends up top fifty yards over the last two weeks alone.

0:38:25.920 --> 0:38:28.960
<v Speaker 1>They've given up one hundred fifty nine yards and three

0:38:29.000 --> 0:38:31.719
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns two tight ends in the last two weeks. Let's

0:38:31.719 --> 0:38:33.560
<v Speaker 1>go to the Cincinnati's side. We've just got a couple

0:38:33.560 --> 0:38:37.480
<v Speaker 1>of startable players, Joe Mixon since benching Andy Dalton, mixing

0:38:37.520 --> 0:38:41.000
<v Speaker 1>his average twenty three rushing attempts and one hundred twenty

0:38:41.120 --> 0:38:45.280
<v Speaker 1>seven total yards per game. It doesn't matter how badly

0:38:46.120 --> 0:38:49.880
<v Speaker 1>the Bengals are losing, they keep trying to give the

0:38:49.920 --> 0:38:51.880
<v Speaker 1>ball to Joe Mixon and run out the clock to

0:38:52.000 --> 0:38:55.719
<v Speaker 1>end the game quickly. They're they're quietly doing mercy rule here.

0:38:57.160 --> 0:38:59.080
<v Speaker 1>On the other hand, the Steelers haven't allowed of running

0:38:59.080 --> 0:39:02.719
<v Speaker 1>back touchdown in their last five games. That said, big

0:39:02.800 --> 0:39:04.960
<v Speaker 1>volume guys like Marlon Mack and Todd Gurley and Nick

0:39:05.040 --> 0:39:07.839
<v Speaker 1>Chubb val at nice yardage games in that span, So

0:39:08.040 --> 0:39:10.040
<v Speaker 1>all the girl is not always a big volume guy.

0:39:10.080 --> 0:39:12.440
<v Speaker 1>But he had a nice game, so there's an opportunity

0:39:12.480 --> 0:39:13.960
<v Speaker 1>for mixing. I've got to be great on him. The

0:39:13.960 --> 0:39:16.719
<v Speaker 1>only other starting grade is Tyler Boyd. Unhappy with his

0:39:16.840 --> 0:39:20.640
<v Speaker 1>meager three targets last week, he complained about it vociferously,

0:39:20.840 --> 0:39:22.880
<v Speaker 1>and you know, more often than not, the squeaky wheel

0:39:22.960 --> 0:39:25.960
<v Speaker 1>gets some grease when you're a good player, and Tyler

0:39:26.040 --> 0:39:28.640
<v Speaker 1>Boyd's their best receiver, at least the best receiver on

0:39:28.680 --> 0:39:31.160
<v Speaker 1>the fields. J Green is not going again. The Steelers

0:39:31.160 --> 0:39:34.080
<v Speaker 1>pass coverage has softened of late, allowing the fourth most

0:39:34.120 --> 0:39:37.680
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns and fifteenth most yards per game to opposing receivers

0:39:37.719 --> 0:39:40.720
<v Speaker 1>over the last three weeks. Steelers slot corner Mike Hilton

0:39:40.760 --> 0:39:43.680
<v Speaker 1>allowing completion rate in his coverage. So I think Boyd

0:39:43.680 --> 0:39:46.560
<v Speaker 1>could get a little something done here, and that's it.

0:39:46.800 --> 0:39:48.839
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Finley and the rest of the passing game way

0:39:49.200 --> 0:39:52.040
<v Speaker 1>on the bench. Brian Finley is so much worse than

0:39:52.080 --> 0:39:55.239
<v Speaker 1>Andy Dalton. I don't even. I mean, I understand they

0:39:55.280 --> 0:39:56.680
<v Speaker 1>want to see what they got in the kid, but

0:39:56.920 --> 0:39:58.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, at some point you think you've seen enough.

0:39:59.640 --> 0:40:02.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't. He's I thought they were gonna give Dalton

0:40:02.080 --> 0:40:05.200
<v Speaker 1>his job back earlier this week, but the announced they're

0:40:05.200 --> 0:40:07.239
<v Speaker 1>starting family the rest of the year. Although teams do

0:40:07.320 --> 0:40:09.680
<v Speaker 1>that and that's changed their mind when they're they're guys terrible.

0:40:09.719 --> 0:40:12.080
<v Speaker 1>So we'll see about that how long that holds up.

0:40:12.719 --> 0:40:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Last matchup of this segment is Carolina taking on New

0:40:15.719 --> 0:40:18.680
<v Speaker 1>Orleans Kyle Allen. I was really high in Kyle Allen

0:40:18.760 --> 0:40:20.680
<v Speaker 1>coming into last weeks. I thought he had played really

0:40:20.680 --> 0:40:23.200
<v Speaker 1>well and he couldn't have looked worse. Well, what you

0:40:23.239 --> 0:40:25.440
<v Speaker 1>need to pay attention to is marsha On Lattimore, the

0:40:25.760 --> 0:40:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Saints standout cornerback. He practiced on Friday, but non contact,

0:40:30.560 --> 0:40:36.520
<v Speaker 1>so he didn't Lendsday, didn't practice Thursday, nontact Friday. My hunches.

0:40:36.560 --> 0:40:38.520
<v Speaker 1>He does not play in it, so that that upgrade.

0:40:38.600 --> 0:40:41.359
<v Speaker 1>Let's le's assume he plays, but he's not a hundred percent.

0:40:41.360 --> 0:40:43.239
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, we'll assume he doesn't play. Either way,

0:40:43.400 --> 0:40:45.879
<v Speaker 1>he's not a percent, So I'll give Alan a see.

0:40:46.080 --> 0:40:48.960
<v Speaker 1>But He's more of like a two quarterback super flex

0:40:49.040 --> 0:40:54.160
<v Speaker 1>play on fan ball. Perhaps the Saints maybe no no,

0:40:53.360 --> 0:40:56.560
<v Speaker 1>no shot shocked it out much of his see he

0:40:56.600 --> 0:40:59.920
<v Speaker 1>really is. The Saints have surrendered at least two passings

0:41:00.000 --> 0:41:02.680
<v Speaker 1>wars and six of ten games, so Alan, I'll give

0:41:02.760 --> 0:41:06.040
<v Speaker 1>him off see um over to his past catchers d

0:41:06.200 --> 0:41:10.759
<v Speaker 1>J Moore b if Latimore plays. Obviously, if Latimore is

0:41:10.760 --> 0:41:13.279
<v Speaker 1>out ten plus targets in three straight games for DJ more,

0:41:13.320 --> 0:41:15.520
<v Speaker 1>he and Kyle Allen really are clicking. Curtis Samuel not

0:41:15.600 --> 0:41:17.800
<v Speaker 1>clicking this year. He is one of twenty wide receivers

0:41:17.800 --> 0:41:19.880
<v Speaker 1>with at least seventy five targets, but he's been a

0:41:19.880 --> 0:41:22.040
<v Speaker 1>disappointment for the most part. He will likely see a

0:41:22.040 --> 0:41:24.920
<v Speaker 1>lot of Eli Apple. Uh. And Samuel did burn Eli

0:41:24.960 --> 0:41:27.320
<v Speaker 1>Apple for a fifty three yard touchdown in the Superdome

0:41:27.360 --> 0:41:29.279
<v Speaker 1>last season or whatever the Dome is called these days.

0:41:29.280 --> 0:41:31.440
<v Speaker 1>And uh, Samuel is a burner. Just his fourth game

0:41:31.480 --> 0:41:33.160
<v Speaker 1>in a dome, by the way, this will be so

0:41:33.600 --> 0:41:36.560
<v Speaker 1>I think he'll pop off here. Greg Olsen gets the

0:41:36.640 --> 0:41:39.759
<v Speaker 1>sea in the dead Sea of tight ends, New Orleans

0:41:39.800 --> 0:41:42.319
<v Speaker 1>has only allowed one tight end touchdown, but they did

0:41:42.320 --> 0:41:44.399
<v Speaker 1>just give up ten catches to Cameron Brait last week

0:41:44.440 --> 0:41:46.439
<v Speaker 1>for seventy three yards. So in the waste land, greg

0:41:46.440 --> 0:41:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Olson gets a SEA and Christian McCaffrey probably the closest

0:41:49.520 --> 0:41:51.600
<v Speaker 1>he'll he'll get to a B. But I'm not gonna do.

0:41:51.640 --> 0:41:53.600
<v Speaker 1>It's still gonna give him an he can't make. You

0:41:53.640 --> 0:41:55.680
<v Speaker 1>can't get yourself to do. Held to a hundred and

0:41:55.719 --> 0:41:57.920
<v Speaker 1>sixty combo yards in the two games against the Saints

0:41:57.960 --> 0:42:00.839
<v Speaker 1>last season, though did not score. It's the Saints are

0:42:00.840 --> 0:42:07.120
<v Speaker 1>still great against the run against running backs set for

0:42:07.160 --> 0:42:11.200
<v Speaker 1>that uh, The Orlands hasn't give up more than nineteen

0:42:11.239 --> 0:42:13.480
<v Speaker 1>receiving yards to weight back over their last four games,

0:42:13.480 --> 0:42:15.800
<v Speaker 1>and only one running back has topped forty rushing yards

0:42:15.840 --> 0:42:18.840
<v Speaker 1>during that span, but none of those backs were CMC

0:42:19.040 --> 0:42:20.919
<v Speaker 1>and the Saints have yielded the third most red zone

0:42:20.920 --> 0:42:23.400
<v Speaker 1>targets for running backs and have surrendered a receiving score

0:42:23.440 --> 0:42:25.279
<v Speaker 1>to the position in back to back game. So I'm

0:42:25.320 --> 0:42:27.399
<v Speaker 1>back to an A for Christian McCaffrey. I'm sorry. Charged

0:42:27.960 --> 0:42:31.040
<v Speaker 1>over the stain side. Alvin Kamara, he definitely gets an A.

0:42:31.040 --> 0:42:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Alvin Kamara has played against the Panthers four times in

0:42:33.640 --> 0:42:36.200
<v Speaker 1>his career, has only carried the ball thirty five times.

0:42:36.200 --> 0:42:41.160
<v Speaker 1>In those four games, he scored five touchdowns. Scored in

0:42:41.200 --> 0:42:44.200
<v Speaker 1>every game total of five touchdowns. Carolina has allowed twelve

0:42:44.239 --> 0:42:48.040
<v Speaker 1>rushing touchdowns and running backs over their last six games. Wow, yeah,

0:42:48.080 --> 0:42:51.359
<v Speaker 1>this is this fantasy. This might be the worst run

0:42:51.440 --> 0:42:54.200
<v Speaker 1>defense in the NFL right now. Never would think could

0:42:54.200 --> 0:42:55.720
<v Speaker 1>be the Panthers and never has been in the past.

0:42:55.719 --> 0:42:58.520
<v Speaker 1>And that makes Latavius Marius lamb dunk c probably a B.

0:42:59.239 --> 0:43:01.520
<v Speaker 1>Is well, I'll give him a B here just because

0:43:01.520 --> 0:43:04.000
<v Speaker 1>the matchup is so good and the matchup is always

0:43:04.000 --> 0:43:06.560
<v Speaker 1>so good for Michael Thomas can give him an A here.

0:43:07.200 --> 0:43:09.680
<v Speaker 1>Four catches through ten games a new record right now.

0:43:10.120 --> 0:43:12.920
<v Speaker 1>DeAndre Hopkins is second with eight one, but he played

0:43:12.920 --> 0:43:15.560
<v Speaker 1>on Thursday night, got extra game under his belt. The

0:43:15.600 --> 0:43:18.440
<v Speaker 1>Panthers have surrendered the most catches to wide receivers this season,

0:43:18.480 --> 0:43:20.960
<v Speaker 1>so that that math adds up nicely. But I can't

0:43:21.000 --> 0:43:23.120
<v Speaker 1>go to bat for Ted gin or Trey Kwan Smith.

0:43:23.160 --> 0:43:26.560
<v Speaker 1>No other floors are horrifying Jared Cook, It's kind of

0:43:26.600 --> 0:43:29.360
<v Speaker 1>a horrifying matchup for him. Caroline has some other deposing

0:43:29.360 --> 0:43:32.240
<v Speaker 1>tight ends, having only allowed one touchdown to the position

0:43:32.280 --> 0:43:35.600
<v Speaker 1>since Week ten. Orry Week one and outside George Kittle,

0:43:35.840 --> 0:43:38.080
<v Speaker 1>no tight end has exceeded four catches or sixty yards,

0:43:38.120 --> 0:43:41.000
<v Speaker 1>and Drew Brees barely gets the sea. The last time

0:43:41.040 --> 0:43:43.840
<v Speaker 1>Breeds through at least three touchdown passes against Carolina was September.

0:43:45.760 --> 0:43:48.080
<v Speaker 1>The Panthers have allowed zero or one passing touchdowns and

0:43:48.120 --> 0:43:50.239
<v Speaker 1>seven of ten games, and new quarterback has thrown for

0:43:50.280 --> 0:43:52.800
<v Speaker 1>three all season. It's all about running on the Panthers.

0:43:53.000 --> 0:43:55.280
<v Speaker 1>You get ahead, you run, then you just keep running.

0:43:55.960 --> 0:43:58.720
<v Speaker 1>That's the that's the recipe, and that's what's gonna happen here.

0:43:59.080 --> 0:44:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Can we up next? Let answer three tough questions you

0:44:01.480 --> 0:44:03.480
<v Speaker 1>can play along, try to go a perfect three and

0:44:03.640 --> 0:44:16.680
<v Speaker 1>oh with our panel of experts on Fantasy Football Weekly.

0:44:06.840 --> 0:44:21.120
<v Speaker 1>Don't don't don't don't you really don't? You don't know?

0:44:24.960 --> 0:44:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Don't you don't do you? Don't do you? Welcome back

0:44:45.440 --> 0:44:48.280
<v Speaker 1>Fantasy Bob, Always, Play'm Pulse, Archie and fanball dot Com.

0:44:48.280 --> 0:44:52.719
<v Speaker 1>My co hosts are Christian Peterson and Brian Johnson. All right, guys,

0:44:52.840 --> 0:44:55.080
<v Speaker 1>it's uh time to roll up our sleeves. So three

0:44:55.120 --> 0:44:57.360
<v Speaker 1>tough questions listeners you can play along. See if you

0:44:57.360 --> 0:45:01.920
<v Speaker 1>can go three and oh off Question number one, the

0:45:02.000 --> 0:45:05.760
<v Speaker 1>schedule for the Cowboys turns tough beginning this week. How

0:45:05.880 --> 0:45:11.920
<v Speaker 1>worried should Cowboy owners be a not at all, be

0:45:13.160 --> 0:45:20.160
<v Speaker 1>somewhat nervous, or see a bowl loosening level of existential dread.

0:45:21.520 --> 0:45:24.520
<v Speaker 1>We begin with Brian Johnson. Alright, so this week it's

0:45:24.520 --> 0:45:28.200
<v Speaker 1>at New England and Buffalo, at Chicago, Rams at home,

0:45:28.280 --> 0:45:31.000
<v Speaker 1>then at Philly, and according to Fantasy Pros, that is

0:45:31.040 --> 0:45:33.760
<v Speaker 1>the fourth hardest remaining schedule for running backs, the third

0:45:33.800 --> 0:45:37.200
<v Speaker 1>hardest for wide receivers, and the second hardest for quarterbacks.

0:45:37.280 --> 0:45:38.800
<v Speaker 1>Of course, some of these matchups are better for the

0:45:38.880 --> 0:45:41.839
<v Speaker 1>running backs and they are for the wide receivers and such,

0:45:41.960 --> 0:45:44.720
<v Speaker 1>so I don't I'm just got to say somewhat nervous

0:45:44.719 --> 0:45:47.120
<v Speaker 1>because it's a mixed bag of bad matchups but good

0:45:47.120 --> 0:45:49.560
<v Speaker 1>for something. It depends who you're talking about. But there

0:45:49.600 --> 0:45:52.799
<v Speaker 1>are a lot of almost stoppers at certain position points here,

0:45:52.800 --> 0:45:56.920
<v Speaker 1>so I'll say somewhat nervous. I also said somewhat nervous

0:45:56.960 --> 0:45:59.960
<v Speaker 1>like you. I went and looked at the at the

0:46:00.040 --> 0:46:02.719
<v Speaker 1>schedule and New England, Buffalo and Chicago in the next

0:46:02.760 --> 0:46:04.799
<v Speaker 1>three weeks, those are those are the real issues here

0:46:04.800 --> 0:46:07.120
<v Speaker 1>in New England is number one against just about everything.

0:46:07.200 --> 0:46:10.320
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo is number two or three against just about every

0:46:10.320 --> 0:46:13.480
<v Speaker 1>position in Chicago. Uh. You mentioned in the matchup they're

0:46:13.480 --> 0:46:15.480
<v Speaker 1>having a little more trouble against running backs, but but

0:46:15.800 --> 0:46:18.799
<v Speaker 1>against the past they are elite level two. So it

0:46:18.880 --> 0:46:22.680
<v Speaker 1>maybe depends a little bit on what your fantasy playoff

0:46:22.840 --> 0:46:25.879
<v Speaker 1>prognosis is right now. I'd be a little bit more

0:46:25.920 --> 0:46:28.479
<v Speaker 1>nervous if I was at like five hundred and trying

0:46:28.480 --> 0:46:31.160
<v Speaker 1>to scrape into the playoffs, because the next three are

0:46:31.160 --> 0:46:34.719
<v Speaker 1>pretty tough. The Rams and Philly in weeks fifteen and sixteen,

0:46:35.000 --> 0:46:37.600
<v Speaker 1>they're not easy, but they're more middle of the road,

0:46:37.719 --> 0:46:41.560
<v Speaker 1>so I'm less nervous about those. So overall, again, it

0:46:41.600 --> 0:46:43.880
<v Speaker 1>depends if you're on easy street going into the playoffs,

0:46:43.920 --> 0:46:45.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not that worried. If you're struggling to get in

0:46:46.040 --> 0:46:50.520
<v Speaker 1>right now, then then I'm pretty somewhat okay. All right, Um,

0:46:50.640 --> 0:46:53.719
<v Speaker 1>here's the passing touchdowns per game allowed over the next

0:46:53.800 --> 0:46:56.439
<v Speaker 1>for the next four opponents, passing touchdowns allowed per game

0:46:57.280 --> 0:47:02.480
<v Speaker 1>zero point four, zero point eight, zero point nine, and

0:47:02.640 --> 0:47:05.600
<v Speaker 1>one point two. That's Dak Prescott on you know you're

0:47:05.600 --> 0:47:08.720
<v Speaker 1>hoping for one touchdown per game if everything, if everything

0:47:08.760 --> 0:47:11.279
<v Speaker 1>had you're if you get one per game, You've outscored

0:47:11.360 --> 0:47:15.640
<v Speaker 1>most quarterbacks against these teams. Here's the rushing touchdowns per

0:47:15.680 --> 0:47:21.520
<v Speaker 1>game over the next month allowed for Ezekiel Elliott zero

0:47:21.560 --> 0:47:26.680
<v Speaker 1>point one per game, zero point eight per game, one

0:47:27.000 --> 0:47:30.520
<v Speaker 1>per game, and zero point six. Again, if you can

0:47:30.560 --> 0:47:33.800
<v Speaker 1>get to one, you're far outpacing with These defenses usually

0:47:33.840 --> 0:47:38.719
<v Speaker 1>give up to opposing running backs. The key here we're

0:47:38.719 --> 0:47:42.760
<v Speaker 1>heading into the playoffs. One bad game. If you get

0:47:42.760 --> 0:47:46.680
<v Speaker 1>the dud from Zeke, if you get the dud from Dak,

0:47:47.120 --> 0:47:52.280
<v Speaker 1>your seasons over. And that is why the remaining schedule

0:47:52.360 --> 0:47:56.280
<v Speaker 1>for the Cowboys should give you a bowl loosening level

0:47:56.320 --> 0:48:01.880
<v Speaker 1>of existential dread. For many of you. Your your trading

0:48:02.120 --> 0:48:05.960
<v Speaker 1>deadline is coming up in a a matter of hours. This

0:48:06.239 --> 0:48:11.239
<v Speaker 1>is your last best chance to move your Cowboys. Do

0:48:11.360 --> 0:48:17.440
<v Speaker 1>it tough. Question Number two, can fantasy owners just dropped

0:48:17.520 --> 0:48:22.560
<v Speaker 1>James Conner Christian I'm gonna say no. Uh. The injury

0:48:22.640 --> 0:48:25.279
<v Speaker 1>is obviously worrisome here. It's an a C joint sprain

0:48:25.360 --> 0:48:29.719
<v Speaker 1>and the shoulder. The Steelers somewhat strange, they're treating this

0:48:29.840 --> 0:48:31.759
<v Speaker 1>somewhat strangely. They kind they're kind of saying that he's

0:48:31.840 --> 0:48:34.120
<v Speaker 1>day to day. They clearly brought him back to early

0:48:34.200 --> 0:48:36.359
<v Speaker 1>last week because he reinjured it. But then this week

0:48:36.520 --> 0:48:38.520
<v Speaker 1>they didn't really rule him out until very late in

0:48:38.520 --> 0:48:41.440
<v Speaker 1>the week on Friday. So it doesn't seem like it's

0:48:41.480 --> 0:48:44.319
<v Speaker 1>a super serious injury. But at the same time, I'm

0:48:44.360 --> 0:48:45.959
<v Speaker 1>not going to trust him for at least a couple

0:48:46.000 --> 0:48:49.440
<v Speaker 1>of a couple of weeks, but weeks fifteen and sixteen,

0:48:49.480 --> 0:48:51.239
<v Speaker 1>I still want him in case he gets back to

0:48:51.280 --> 0:48:56.359
<v Speaker 1>full health. They have, Yeah, Buffalo, that that's that's a

0:48:56.360 --> 0:49:00.000
<v Speaker 1>tough matchup. But but Jets run defense has but awesome

0:49:00.040 --> 0:49:03.320
<v Speaker 1>all year. They have, but nobody else has really established

0:49:03.320 --> 0:49:05.960
<v Speaker 1>themselves here for Pittsburgh. Jalen Samuels can't run the ball,

0:49:05.960 --> 0:49:08.880
<v Speaker 1>he can catch the ball. I just think Connor was

0:49:09.040 --> 0:49:11.239
<v Speaker 1>an absolute work horse when he was healthy. He's a

0:49:11.280 --> 0:49:14.160
<v Speaker 1>top ten running back when healthy. I'm not gonna just

0:49:14.520 --> 0:49:17.040
<v Speaker 1>outright drop him. I need I need to hold onto

0:49:17.080 --> 0:49:18.960
<v Speaker 1>him in case it comes back to So no, do

0:49:19.040 --> 0:49:21.160
<v Speaker 1>not drop him, all right, And Brian, what are you saying.

0:49:21.200 --> 0:49:23.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna say no, but for different reasons. I'm just

0:49:23.520 --> 0:49:25.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna hold them in hopes that he plays against the

0:49:25.239 --> 0:49:27.719
<v Speaker 1>Browns next week. With all the suspensions and whatnot they have,

0:49:27.800 --> 0:49:32.440
<v Speaker 1>but Arizona and Week fourteen, tough matchup Bills and Jets.

0:49:32.760 --> 0:49:34.879
<v Speaker 1>The Jets are We'll get getting to that matchup later.

0:49:34.880 --> 0:49:36.600
<v Speaker 1>They're really good run defense. Now, I don't know if

0:49:36.600 --> 0:49:39.720
<v Speaker 1>i'd be confident starting James Conner in those bad matchups.

0:49:39.800 --> 0:49:42.360
<v Speaker 1>James Conner doesn't even finish half the games he starts.

0:49:42.360 --> 0:49:45.319
<v Speaker 1>It seems like he always gets no, you know which

0:49:45.400 --> 0:49:49.279
<v Speaker 1>side you said? I don't know said, and then he

0:49:49.280 --> 0:49:52.560
<v Speaker 1>gave nothing but reasons to drop him. But no, not

0:49:52.560 --> 0:49:54.560
<v Speaker 1>because of the Browns. Even in case he plays, I'll

0:49:54.600 --> 0:49:58.000
<v Speaker 1>start him next week. So no, all right, should have

0:49:58.080 --> 0:50:01.359
<v Speaker 1>dropped him weeks ago, that's answer. He's been on the

0:50:01.400 --> 0:50:04.040
<v Speaker 1>injury report. James Connor has been on the injury report

0:50:04.200 --> 0:50:07.840
<v Speaker 1>every week of the season. This week he did, he

0:50:07.880 --> 0:50:09.480
<v Speaker 1>got ruled out on Friday. He didn't even make it

0:50:09.560 --> 0:50:12.239
<v Speaker 1>the game time decision this week when he comes back.

0:50:12.800 --> 0:50:15.839
<v Speaker 1>How do you start James Conner not knowing if he's

0:50:15.880 --> 0:50:18.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna make it out of the first quarter. And the

0:50:18.280 --> 0:50:22.759
<v Speaker 1>Steelers can't possibly be so delusional that they still view

0:50:22.840 --> 0:50:26.920
<v Speaker 1>James Connor as a workhorse. Come on, I know they

0:50:26.920 --> 0:50:32.600
<v Speaker 1>want their workhorse backs, but obviously it can't be James Connor.

0:50:32.800 --> 0:50:36.040
<v Speaker 1>He's proven it every way possible for over a year.

0:50:36.360 --> 0:50:41.120
<v Speaker 1>What's more, this offense is in reverse. Mason Rudolph is

0:50:41.200 --> 0:50:43.400
<v Speaker 1>so bad you can't trust him to get past the

0:50:43.400 --> 0:50:47.640
<v Speaker 1>fifty yard line and any given drive. And lastly, on

0:50:47.800 --> 0:50:50.440
<v Speaker 1>James Conner and another reason, you could just dagger him

0:50:50.560 --> 0:50:54.600
<v Speaker 1>right now, do they just shut him down at some point?

0:50:54.880 --> 0:50:57.279
<v Speaker 1>I mean there are five and five team if they

0:50:57.360 --> 0:50:59.239
<v Speaker 1>lose two out of the next three or whatever, that

0:50:59.360 --> 0:51:02.640
<v Speaker 1>shut just down, just just stop now with the charade

0:51:02.840 --> 0:51:05.920
<v Speaker 1>of James Conner. They're gonna beat the Bengals and then

0:51:05.920 --> 0:51:07.840
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna play you know that. Do you know Mason

0:51:07.920 --> 0:51:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Rodolph can beat the Bengals. No, but I don't either.

0:51:11.040 --> 0:51:12.840
<v Speaker 1>And then they got Cleveland after that, and you know

0:51:13.040 --> 0:51:15.560
<v Speaker 1>that's I think they could easily lose one of those

0:51:15.600 --> 0:51:17.160
<v Speaker 1>two and then maybe they lose an next one of

0:51:17.160 --> 0:51:23.000
<v Speaker 1>that's over seasons done. James Conner. So bitter about James Conner, Well,

0:51:23.120 --> 0:51:25.719
<v Speaker 1>I'm really not. You had him as you had him

0:51:25.719 --> 0:51:28.799
<v Speaker 1>as like that, You're sea coming into the year and

0:51:28.840 --> 0:51:32.120
<v Speaker 1>here he is a top ten fantasy. I so nailed

0:51:32.719 --> 0:51:37.640
<v Speaker 1>I so nailed. The shade on James Conner in the preseason.

0:51:37.800 --> 0:51:43.400
<v Speaker 1>It's like eight weeks for you to be right weeks Connor.

0:51:43.840 --> 0:51:46.239
<v Speaker 1>Connor has not been anywhere close to a top ten

0:51:46.320 --> 0:51:48.640
<v Speaker 1>running back from the majority of this year. Ali's Ali

0:51:48.719 --> 0:51:51.800
<v Speaker 1>does is give you headaches and frustration. Question number three

0:51:52.080 --> 0:51:56.800
<v Speaker 1>is Courtland Sutton a top five fantasy wide receiver? Brian

0:51:57.040 --> 0:51:59.200
<v Speaker 1>all right, if we're talking top five, you were talking

0:51:59.239 --> 0:52:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Michael Thomas, DeAndre Hopkins, Julio Jones, Mark Cooper, Mike Evans,

0:52:03.680 --> 0:52:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Tyreek Kill, Odell Beckham, Still, Chris Godwin, Davante Adams. Sutton

0:52:08.000 --> 0:52:10.040
<v Speaker 1>would probably be right with those guys, if not for

0:52:10.040 --> 0:52:13.080
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback situation in Denver, which is just awful. I

0:52:13.080 --> 0:52:16.760
<v Speaker 1>got lock it in tier with uh, you know, Tyler Lockett,

0:52:16.800 --> 0:52:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Kenny Golladay, Dealing, Dealing Diggs. He leads. Sutton leads that

0:52:20.640 --> 0:52:22.279
<v Speaker 1>pack when it comes to dynasty though, by the way,

0:52:22.280 --> 0:52:24.719
<v Speaker 1>and probably Redraft. But he's wide receiver eight or nine

0:52:24.760 --> 0:52:26.320
<v Speaker 1>from me right now. But if they get a quarterback

0:52:26.320 --> 0:52:29.480
<v Speaker 1>in Denver, watch out because he is legit. But he's

0:52:29.480 --> 0:52:31.200
<v Speaker 1>outside the top five for me as of right now.

0:52:31.280 --> 0:52:35.000
<v Speaker 1>All Right, I think you're just smitten after watching Sutton

0:52:35.120 --> 0:52:37.360
<v Speaker 1>carve up the Vikings secondary of this past week, a

0:52:37.520 --> 0:52:42.240
<v Speaker 1>Vikings secondary that, by the way, everybody onfl but overall,

0:52:42.280 --> 0:52:44.720
<v Speaker 1>he's just right now in a in a standard scoring system,

0:52:44.719 --> 0:52:47.680
<v Speaker 1>he's the number sixteen wide receiver. From a fantasy perspective,

0:52:47.840 --> 0:52:50.120
<v Speaker 1>he has just two yard games last week was the

0:52:50.200 --> 0:52:52.839
<v Speaker 1>second of the year, just four touchdowns, and then Brian

0:52:52.920 --> 0:52:54.960
<v Speaker 1>hit on it as well with Brandon Allen there, you

0:52:55.040 --> 0:52:57.760
<v Speaker 1>just can't depend on him as as as really anywhere

0:52:57.760 --> 0:53:00.680
<v Speaker 1>near a top five guy. I've got him outside probably

0:53:00.680 --> 0:53:04.120
<v Speaker 1>on in the twelve range, not even close to top five.

0:53:04.320 --> 0:53:06.839
<v Speaker 1>That's interesting, almost made a top seven because I thought

0:53:06.840 --> 0:53:08.360
<v Speaker 1>that was a lot closer to where he has going

0:53:08.400 --> 0:53:13.880
<v Speaker 1>to be. A tougher question. Yeah, that's crazy. Uh, here's why.

0:53:13.920 --> 0:53:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Above all else, you want your you want your players

0:53:17.480 --> 0:53:20.680
<v Speaker 1>to not dagger your own team. And what Courtland Sutton

0:53:20.760 --> 0:53:24.520
<v Speaker 1>does really well is no bad games. Since Week two,

0:53:24.640 --> 0:53:28.680
<v Speaker 1>his worst game is a seventy three yard scoreless game.

0:53:29.000 --> 0:53:33.640
<v Speaker 1>That's his worst game for Courtland Sutton. His average game

0:53:34.520 --> 0:53:37.200
<v Speaker 1>is eighty one yards and a coin flips chance at

0:53:37.200 --> 0:53:41.799
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown. Eighty one yards is well. Who else, by

0:53:41.800 --> 0:53:43.400
<v Speaker 1>the way, is eighty one yards and a coin flips

0:53:43.440 --> 0:53:49.239
<v Speaker 1>chance and a touchdown. Well, that's Julio Jones. That's that's

0:53:49.280 --> 0:53:52.840
<v Speaker 1>actually more yards than Tyler Lockett gives you. Although Locket's

0:53:52.840 --> 0:53:58.200
<v Speaker 1>got two more touchdowns, it's more yards than Tyler Lockett. Quietly,

0:53:58.400 --> 0:54:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Courtland Sutton is in conversation with these guys in terms

0:54:02.080 --> 0:54:05.600
<v Speaker 1>of production. I know it's not name recognition. He's not

0:54:06.000 --> 0:54:08.400
<v Speaker 1>he's is he Julio Jones? No, of course that we

0:54:08.480 --> 0:54:11.920
<v Speaker 1>talk about Ulio Jones a receiver for day years. But

0:54:12.120 --> 0:54:15.560
<v Speaker 1>from a production standpoint, Courtland Sutton is not that far

0:54:15.680 --> 0:54:18.399
<v Speaker 1>off of these guys. And if I said, right now,

0:54:18.920 --> 0:54:22.319
<v Speaker 1>you could have Courtland Sutton or Tyreek Hill. Given the

0:54:22.360 --> 0:54:25.600
<v Speaker 1>injury situation with Tyreek Hill, that's I think that's a

0:54:25.600 --> 0:54:29.040
<v Speaker 1>trickier conversation to have. All that said, he's still not

0:54:29.080 --> 0:54:32.719
<v Speaker 1>a top five guy, so you're right, he's not top five,

0:54:33.080 --> 0:54:36.040
<v Speaker 1>but he's close's closer than we think. I think it's

0:54:36.080 --> 0:54:40.080
<v Speaker 1>a startup. Empire might be a startup you might be in.

0:54:40.480 --> 0:54:42.479
<v Speaker 1>You're in an Empire league, you're in a dynasty league.

0:54:42.600 --> 0:54:44.080
<v Speaker 1>I think it would make sense. I'm just rubbing it

0:54:44.080 --> 0:54:48.799
<v Speaker 1>into CEP traded Sutting to meet earlier in the season. Really, well,

0:54:48.800 --> 0:54:52.279
<v Speaker 1>what do you get well, yeah, I mean, you know

0:54:52.760 --> 0:54:54.399
<v Speaker 1>it was. It was. Actually it would take a hold.

0:54:54.640 --> 0:54:58.080
<v Speaker 1>It would take us fifteen minutes to analyze it. I'm

0:54:58.080 --> 0:55:00.600
<v Speaker 1>speaking of what's gonna take fifteen music good deal. Dallas

0:55:00.640 --> 0:55:03.920
<v Speaker 1>taking on the Patriots could take fifteen minutes. Because this

0:55:04.000 --> 0:55:08.200
<v Speaker 1>is the thorn thorny matchup. It's thorny, made even thornier

0:55:08.600 --> 0:55:11.319
<v Speaker 1>by the fact that it came out today that half

0:55:11.360 --> 0:55:14.480
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys team is suffering from the flu late in

0:55:14.520 --> 0:55:16.480
<v Speaker 1>the week. So that's something to keep an eye on.

0:55:16.560 --> 0:55:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Although none of the none of the A players here,

0:55:20.040 --> 0:55:22.520
<v Speaker 1>none of the fantasy players were really mentioned. They gave

0:55:22.600 --> 0:55:25.719
<v Speaker 1>Dack some kind of magic medicine, right, the medicine. The

0:55:26.000 --> 0:55:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Beat writers came out with this tweet that said, you know,

0:55:28.200 --> 0:55:30.760
<v Speaker 1>six players are affected by the flu, but don't worry.

0:55:30.920 --> 0:55:35.719
<v Speaker 1>They gave Dak and they found a way to cure

0:55:35.800 --> 0:55:38.960
<v Speaker 1>the flu before it even happens, apparently for Dak, But anyways,

0:55:39.000 --> 0:55:42.520
<v Speaker 1>keep an eye on that. Anybody else also keep an

0:55:42.520 --> 0:55:45.880
<v Speaker 1>eye on. It's just so weird because all of the

0:55:45.960 --> 0:55:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Cowboys players have been really, really good, but the Patriots

0:55:49.400 --> 0:55:52.080
<v Speaker 1>defense is insanely good. So I basically took all the

0:55:52.080 --> 0:55:54.160
<v Speaker 1>grades that I would have given the Cowboys and knocked

0:55:54.200 --> 0:55:56.960
<v Speaker 1>them down a full full letter grade. So Prescott has

0:55:57.000 --> 0:55:59.360
<v Speaker 1>a B instead of an A because the Patriots have

0:55:59.360 --> 0:56:02.520
<v Speaker 1>allowed just four passing touchdowns all year long. We know

0:56:02.560 --> 0:56:05.080
<v Speaker 1>how great Dak Prescott has been. He'd be an A

0:56:05.320 --> 0:56:08.720
<v Speaker 1>under any other circumstances, but a B here, A Marii Cooper,

0:56:09.239 --> 0:56:11.319
<v Speaker 1>I've got him at a B. He is battling through

0:56:11.560 --> 0:56:14.080
<v Speaker 1>knee and ankle injuries, held in check by Darius Slay

0:56:14.200 --> 0:56:17.880
<v Speaker 1>last week with just three catches. This week's matchup maybe

0:56:17.880 --> 0:56:21.520
<v Speaker 1>even tougher against Stephon Gilmore. Per Pro Football Focus, Gilmore

0:56:21.520 --> 0:56:25.160
<v Speaker 1>is allowing just forty five percent completions UH on passes

0:56:25.200 --> 0:56:27.960
<v Speaker 1>thrown his well his way. He's held opposing wide receivers

0:56:27.960 --> 0:56:31.200
<v Speaker 1>to averages of just thirty five yards, and none have scored. Really,

0:56:31.239 --> 0:56:34.080
<v Speaker 1>really tough matchup for Cooper here, normally an A. I

0:56:34.120 --> 0:56:36.600
<v Speaker 1>gave him a B here because of that matchup. Michael Gallup,

0:56:36.640 --> 0:56:39.200
<v Speaker 1>Let's give him a C. Targeted twenty nine times in

0:56:39.320 --> 0:56:42.520
<v Speaker 1>three in his last three games, touchdowns in consecutive games

0:56:42.560 --> 0:56:44.560
<v Speaker 1>before going off for a hundred and forty eight yards

0:56:44.680 --> 0:56:49.279
<v Speaker 1>last week. Well, Unfortunately he draws cornerback Jason mccordy, a

0:56:49.360 --> 0:56:52.120
<v Speaker 1>lesser name than Gilmore, but according to Pro Football Focus,

0:56:52.160 --> 0:56:54.600
<v Speaker 1>he's even better. He's allowed just twenty four point six

0:56:55.360 --> 0:56:58.239
<v Speaker 1>so he's also very good. Only one wide receiver is

0:56:58.280 --> 0:57:00.480
<v Speaker 1>top to even seventy eight yards against the Patriots and

0:57:00.480 --> 0:57:03.680
<v Speaker 1>only one have scored, so again, a tough tough matchup

0:57:03.719 --> 0:57:07.239
<v Speaker 1>for the wide receivers here. Jason Witten tight ends have

0:57:07.280 --> 0:57:09.880
<v Speaker 1>scored three times in the last three games against the Patriots.

0:57:09.920 --> 0:57:11.719
<v Speaker 1>That appears to be how people are moving the ball,

0:57:12.160 --> 0:57:15.360
<v Speaker 1>and Witten has twenty one targets and fifteen catches in

0:57:15.400 --> 0:57:17.360
<v Speaker 1>the last three games, so maybe that's how they're going

0:57:17.400 --> 0:57:21.120
<v Speaker 1>to move the ball here. Of the touchdowns given up

0:57:21.120 --> 0:57:23.440
<v Speaker 1>by the Patriots have been to the tight ends, So

0:57:23.600 --> 0:57:25.840
<v Speaker 1>a c C grade out here on Witten. As much

0:57:25.840 --> 0:57:28.880
<v Speaker 1>as he don't love him, Ezekiel Elliott, let's give him

0:57:28.920 --> 0:57:31.680
<v Speaker 1>a B. He's been struggling in recent weeks, held under

0:57:31.720 --> 0:57:33.760
<v Speaker 1>three yards per carry by both the Vikings and the

0:57:33.800 --> 0:57:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Lions in his last two games, and by the way,

0:57:36.000 --> 0:57:40.240
<v Speaker 1>injure both injury depleted Vikings and Lions defensive lines all right,

0:57:40.280 --> 0:57:42.840
<v Speaker 1>and the Patriots they allow over four yards per carry,

0:57:42.880 --> 0:57:45.520
<v Speaker 1>but only one running back has scored against them. On

0:57:45.560 --> 0:57:47.360
<v Speaker 1>the other hand, Nick Chubb did go for a hundred

0:57:47.360 --> 0:57:49.600
<v Speaker 1>and thirty one yards against them two weeks ago, mark

0:57:49.760 --> 0:57:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Ingram a hundred and fifteen last week, so they can

0:57:52.400 --> 0:57:54.640
<v Speaker 1>be beat on the ground, and it feels like that's

0:57:54.680 --> 0:57:56.280
<v Speaker 1>the way Dallas is going to try to move the

0:57:56.280 --> 0:57:58.520
<v Speaker 1>ball here, So b grade on Ezekiel Elliott. I know

0:57:58.600 --> 0:58:00.560
<v Speaker 1>this is already a long thorny match up, but let

0:58:00.560 --> 0:58:02.920
<v Speaker 1>me just enter jack. The Tony Pollard came in with

0:58:02.960 --> 0:58:04.880
<v Speaker 1>it and had a couple of touches that look really

0:58:04.880 --> 0:58:07.920
<v Speaker 1>really good. I and the way that Zeke is struggling,

0:58:08.320 --> 0:58:11.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, Tony should already be rostered and somebody sharing

0:58:11.560 --> 0:58:13.240
<v Speaker 1>to be handcuffing him at this time of year. But

0:58:13.240 --> 0:58:15.720
<v Speaker 1>if he's not, Tony Pollard makes a lot of sense

0:58:15.760 --> 0:58:18.960
<v Speaker 1>to be if we get an uptick and Tony Pollard's

0:58:19.040 --> 0:58:21.640
<v Speaker 1>usage undefeated, when he has like six or seven touches

0:58:21.720 --> 0:58:24.640
<v Speaker 1>or something, they just they use him. They win. So

0:58:24.720 --> 0:58:26.720
<v Speaker 1>but he had just twelve snaps last week, he had

0:58:26.760 --> 0:58:30.040
<v Speaker 1>four catches and the nice and the nice touchdown. But yeah,

0:58:30.040 --> 0:58:31.760
<v Speaker 1>he's on He's on your bench for now until they

0:58:31.800 --> 0:58:32.960
<v Speaker 1>prove that they're going to use them more. On the

0:58:32.960 --> 0:58:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Patriots side, Tom Brady. Just to see starting grade here.

0:58:36.960 --> 0:58:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Only one quarterback has thrown for more than twitter and

0:58:39.120 --> 0:58:42.240
<v Speaker 1>thirty eight yards against the Cowboys since Week one. None

0:58:42.280 --> 0:58:44.640
<v Speaker 1>have thrown more than two touchdowns, and Brady just quite

0:58:44.640 --> 0:58:46.720
<v Speaker 1>frankly hasn't been very good in the last five or

0:58:46.760 --> 0:58:49.680
<v Speaker 1>six games. Just to see here, Julian Edelman is an

0:58:49.680 --> 0:58:52.760
<v Speaker 1>a basically on volume alone. He is a target hog

0:58:53.120 --> 0:58:55.960
<v Speaker 1>double digit targets in five straight games. And the Cowboys

0:58:55.960 --> 0:58:59.320
<v Speaker 1>are vulnerable to slot wide receivers, having yielded a seventy

0:58:59.360 --> 0:59:02.800
<v Speaker 1>three percent completion rate on slot targets this year. So

0:59:03.040 --> 0:59:05.480
<v Speaker 1>Edelman is in the rest of the receiving corps is

0:59:05.560 --> 0:59:08.080
<v Speaker 1>really banged up. Mohammed Sanum may or may not play.

0:59:08.080 --> 0:59:11.440
<v Speaker 1>He's officially questionable. Same with Philip dor Set battling through

0:59:11.480 --> 0:59:14.400
<v Speaker 1>a concussion. Maybe to keep an eye on rookie to

0:59:14.520 --> 0:59:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Keel Harry, who played pretty well last week in his

0:59:17.000 --> 0:59:20.360
<v Speaker 1>first game after since coming off. I r but nothing

0:59:20.360 --> 0:59:23.439
<v Speaker 1>to see here at the at receiver beyond Edelman. I'm

0:59:23.480 --> 0:59:25.600
<v Speaker 1>not gonna dig deep enough for Ben Watson here at

0:59:25.600 --> 0:59:29.200
<v Speaker 1>tight end. That brings us to the Sony Walkman. I

0:59:29.240 --> 0:59:33.960
<v Speaker 1>gave him a C letter starting grade here forty two

0:59:34.000 --> 0:59:36.080
<v Speaker 1>yards or less than three of the last four scoreless

0:59:36.080 --> 0:59:39.200
<v Speaker 1>in three straight. The numbers aren't good, but Dallas allows

0:59:39.200 --> 0:59:42.080
<v Speaker 1>over four yards per carry and nine running back touchdowns

0:59:42.120 --> 0:59:44.800
<v Speaker 1>in ten games, so maybe a short touchdown here is

0:59:44.840 --> 0:59:47.520
<v Speaker 1>what you're hoping for from Walkman. And also, by the way,

0:59:47.560 --> 0:59:51.120
<v Speaker 1>linebacker Layton Vandersch, one of their leading tacklers, one of

0:59:51.120 --> 0:59:54.280
<v Speaker 1>their best players out for this one with a neck injury.

0:59:54.760 --> 0:59:56.440
<v Speaker 1>James White is the guy that you want to look at, though,

0:59:56.440 --> 0:59:59.520
<v Speaker 1>because the Cowboys are more susceptible to pass catching backs.

1:00:00.040 --> 1:00:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Jones had seven catches against them, se Kwon Barkley six,

1:00:03.320 --> 1:00:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Dalvin Cook seven. So James White I gave a B

1:00:06.680 --> 1:00:11.240
<v Speaker 1>starting grade two. Right, that's a that's a beefy matchup

1:00:11.480 --> 1:00:12.760
<v Speaker 1>right there. As we like to say, what do you

1:00:12.800 --> 1:00:15.800
<v Speaker 1>give Antonio Brown if they if the Patriots they signed

1:00:15.840 --> 1:00:18.760
<v Speaker 1>him again and him off of Instagram or whatever, and

1:00:18.880 --> 1:00:22.400

1:00:48.400 --> 1:00:49.640
<v Speaker 1>we'll tell you what to do with that one. A

1:00:49.680 --> 1:01:12.000
<v Speaker 1>weekend back Fantasy Football Weekly. Fantasy Football Weekly returns and

1:01:12.120 --> 1:01:14.600
<v Speaker 1>we are diving back into the matchups. But first, did

1:01:14.640 --> 1:01:16.520
<v Speaker 1>you know you can play super flex salary cap at

1:01:16.520 --> 1:01:19.800

<v Speaker 1>four right ends yeah, or for or for running back.

1:01:23.640 --> 1:01:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Most importantly, you start zero team defense. Yeah, this whole

1:01:28.240 --> 1:01:31.240
<v Speaker 1>team defense thing and in DFS has gotta go. Um,

1:01:31.360 --> 1:01:34.120
<v Speaker 1>that's a whole different story. Let's talk about Detroit taking

1:01:34.120 --> 1:01:36.160
<v Speaker 1>on Washington. It's kind of a dog mud game, but

1:01:36.440 --> 1:01:39.400
<v Speaker 1>there are some opportunities, particularly on the Lions side, where

1:01:39.400 --> 1:01:41.320
<v Speaker 1>already gave you Jeff Driscolls might take a chance on

1:01:41.400 --> 1:01:44.040
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback I really like him. Kenny Golladay gets a

1:01:44.120 --> 1:01:46.800
<v Speaker 1>straight up a. He runs the majority of his routes

1:01:46.840 --> 1:01:50.760
<v Speaker 1>on Josh Norman's side. Of the field. Norman's been roasted

1:01:50.840 --> 1:01:54.480
<v Speaker 1>for seven touchdowns in his coverage. That's I believe the

1:01:54.560 --> 1:01:57.400
<v Speaker 1>worst in the league. And get this, seven touchdowns on

1:01:57.560 --> 1:02:03.080
<v Speaker 1>forty five passes defended. That's it. How do you do that?

1:02:03.760 --> 1:02:06.840
<v Speaker 1>How are you giving up a touchdown every eight passes

1:02:06.840 --> 1:02:09.760
<v Speaker 1>that comes your way? That's ridiculous. You get paid and

1:02:09.760 --> 1:02:12.960
<v Speaker 1>then that comes your way. I'm doing some multiplication now.

1:02:13.440 --> 1:02:17.400
<v Speaker 1>Uh So, Kenny Golladay and a grade. Danny Amendola gets

1:02:17.400 --> 1:02:19.840
<v Speaker 1>a startable grade with a SEA and I almost gave

1:02:19.920 --> 1:02:22.800
<v Speaker 1>him a b Other slot receivers have done very well

1:02:22.880 --> 1:02:25.480
<v Speaker 1>here he gets. Fabian Moreau is his coverage cornerback. He's

1:02:25.520 --> 1:02:28.960
<v Speaker 1>not very good. We saw Jamison Crowder score touchdown, Cole

1:02:29.040 --> 1:02:33.840
<v Speaker 1>Beasley score touchdown, Julian Edelman score touchdown from the slot position.

1:02:34.000 --> 1:02:37.200
<v Speaker 1>There's a great opportunity for Danny Amendola as a dart

1:02:37.240 --> 1:02:39.920
<v Speaker 1>throw in the final bye week of the year. Marvin

1:02:40.000 --> 1:02:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Jones though, just to see grade and really might want

1:02:42.680 --> 1:02:46.320
<v Speaker 1>to be on the bench. He runs about fifty percent

1:02:46.360 --> 1:02:49.560
<v Speaker 1>of his snaps up against Quinton Dunbar. That is a

1:02:49.600 --> 1:02:52.520
<v Speaker 1>tough matchup. Dunbar is a great cornerback, quietly one of

1:02:52.560 --> 1:02:55.000
<v Speaker 1>the better corner young quarterbacks in the league. And I

1:02:55.040 --> 1:02:56.640
<v Speaker 1>don't love Jones here, but he doesn't want all of

1:02:56.680 --> 1:02:59.120
<v Speaker 1>his snaps against dun Bar, so he is still startable

1:02:59.160 --> 1:03:02.280
<v Speaker 1>with a C. Gray aid, let's go to boast Scarborough. Oh,

1:03:02.280 --> 1:03:04.280
<v Speaker 1>by the way, while we're in the passing game, t J.

1:03:04.440 --> 1:03:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Hockenson is it got. It's a decent matchup with Washington,

1:03:07.560 --> 1:03:11.200
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, just not enough usage for Hockinson. He's just

1:03:11.240 --> 1:03:13.600
<v Speaker 1>not seeing enough balls. As we well. Ryan Griffin had

1:03:13.600 --> 1:03:15.920
<v Speaker 1>the big game last week. Before that, they hadn't allowed

1:03:15.960 --> 1:03:17.600
<v Speaker 1>a tight end to go over sixty yards and that

1:03:17.680 --> 1:03:20.800
<v Speaker 1>included Ingram George Kittle. All the more reason to keep

1:03:20.880 --> 1:03:23.840
<v Speaker 1>t J. Hockenson on the bench. Both Scarborough gets a

1:03:23.960 --> 1:03:27.560
<v Speaker 1>C grade here. Washington has allowed rushing touchdowns in six

1:03:27.600 --> 1:03:30.240
<v Speaker 1>of the past seven. They've also given up at least

1:03:30.240 --> 1:03:32.880
<v Speaker 1>a hundred ten yards two runners in four straight games.

1:03:32.920 --> 1:03:34.640
<v Speaker 1>Both Scarborough will get most of the work here, but

1:03:34.640 --> 1:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna see a rotation of guys again just to

1:03:37.200 --> 1:03:39.760
<v Speaker 1>see grade for Scarborough. And it's unclear who will get

1:03:39.800 --> 1:03:42.200
<v Speaker 1>the any goal line carries, but I think it would

1:03:42.240 --> 1:03:44.760
<v Speaker 1>be him. So that might be your best chance here

1:03:44.800 --> 1:03:47.160
<v Speaker 1>is to get a goal line carry at a Boat Scarborough.

1:03:47.320 --> 1:03:49.080
<v Speaker 1>On the Washington side, there's only two guys that you

1:03:49.120 --> 1:03:52.400
<v Speaker 1>care about two and a half. Adrian Peterson may or

1:03:52.440 --> 1:03:54.000
<v Speaker 1>may not go. He's probably shaping up as a game

1:03:54.040 --> 1:03:56.360
<v Speaker 1>time decision with his toe injury to not practice Wednesday

1:03:56.440 --> 1:04:01.120
<v Speaker 1>or Thursday if he on Friday. Darius Guy is tempting

1:04:01.120 --> 1:04:04.120
<v Speaker 1>because he had the eye popping touchdown reception, But what

1:04:04.120 --> 1:04:07.200
<v Speaker 1>people don't realize is he also carried the ball seven

1:04:07.200 --> 1:04:10.160
<v Speaker 1>times and only put up twenty four yards on the

1:04:10.200 --> 1:04:15.040
<v Speaker 1>ground last week and couldn't really even hold off Windell Smallwood.

1:04:15.160 --> 1:04:17.440
<v Speaker 1>No right when all Smallwood in the mix way more

1:04:17.480 --> 1:04:20.080
<v Speaker 1>than he ever should have been. Now, the Lions have

1:04:20.280 --> 1:04:23.280
<v Speaker 1>given up the second most running back touchdowns in the league,

1:04:23.320 --> 1:04:25.520
<v Speaker 1>so there is an opportunity for guys here. But I'll

1:04:25.560 --> 1:04:27.880
<v Speaker 1>note that the Lions run defense has been better the

1:04:27.960 --> 1:04:30.760
<v Speaker 1>last couple of weeks with Mike Daniels back at defensive tackles.

1:04:30.840 --> 1:04:33.960
<v Speaker 1>So guys were just a C grade, and if Adrian

1:04:34.000 --> 1:04:37.040
<v Speaker 1>Peterson is active, then honestly, I think I might just

1:04:37.080 --> 1:04:40.400
<v Speaker 1>sit both of them. Then. Terry McLaren's the only other

1:04:40.440 --> 1:04:42.200
<v Speaker 1>guy that you care about. He has a C grade.

1:04:42.200 --> 1:04:46.000
<v Speaker 1>He draws Darius Slay probably who held him Marie Cooper

1:04:46.040 --> 1:04:48.960
<v Speaker 1>in check. Slays very good for the most part. He's

1:04:49.240 --> 1:04:51.760
<v Speaker 1>shut down a bunch of good receivers this year. Now.

1:04:52.040 --> 1:04:54.840
<v Speaker 1>McLaren moved to the slot a lot more last week.

1:04:54.880 --> 1:04:57.840
<v Speaker 1>He ran his place from the slot last week, and

1:04:57.920 --> 1:05:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Darius Slay does not go to the slot, So Washington

1:05:01.520 --> 1:05:05.080
<v Speaker 1>could keep using McLaurin in the slot to draw better

1:05:05.120 --> 1:05:08.000
<v Speaker 1>coverage and avoid Slay. And that's why he has a

1:05:08.080 --> 1:05:11.240
<v Speaker 1>C grade in this matchup. Let's go to Oakland taking

1:05:11.240 --> 1:05:14.920
<v Speaker 1>on the Jets. Brian for the Raiders, it's a tricky

1:05:14.960 --> 1:05:17.240
<v Speaker 1>matchup for Josh Jacobs, who has been so good you

1:05:17.280 --> 1:05:20.200
<v Speaker 1>just play him every week. But the Jets defense against

1:05:20.200 --> 1:05:23.720
<v Speaker 1>the run has been sneaky great, and they're so bad

1:05:23.760 --> 1:05:25.800
<v Speaker 1>against the past, and you feel like this is gonna

1:05:25.800 --> 1:05:28.640
<v Speaker 1>be a Derek Carr led offense. Yeah, you kind of do,

1:05:28.760 --> 1:05:30.840
<v Speaker 1>but you still gotta play Jacobs. But you really have

1:05:30.880 --> 1:05:35.040
<v Speaker 1>to temporar your expectations soft be here for Josh Jacobs.

1:05:35.120 --> 1:05:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Jets very tough against the run. Like you said, they

1:05:36.920 --> 1:05:39.560
<v Speaker 1>are ranked second by Football Outsiders against the run, and

1:05:39.640 --> 1:05:42.280
<v Speaker 1>imposing running backs are averaging just a tick over three

1:05:42.360 --> 1:05:45.040
<v Speaker 1>yards per carry. That said, the Jets have yielded the

1:05:45.080 --> 1:05:47.480
<v Speaker 1>third most red zone touches to running backs of this year,

1:05:47.840 --> 1:05:49.760
<v Speaker 1>and the Raiders should be able to move the ball

1:05:49.760 --> 1:05:52.200
<v Speaker 1>through the air against New York. And that's why Tyrelle

1:05:52.200 --> 1:05:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Williams gets an a Jets have allowed well before the

1:05:56.160 --> 1:05:59.160
<v Speaker 1>redskin receivers didn't score a touchdown last week. They touchdown

1:05:59.200 --> 1:06:02.320
<v Speaker 1>a verse redskin. The three games prior, the Jets have

1:06:02.360 --> 1:06:05.520
<v Speaker 1>allowed ten wide receiver touchdowns. So I'm liking Tyrrelle Williams

1:06:05.520 --> 1:06:08.160
<v Speaker 1>and this one um. Also like in Hunter Renfro, New

1:06:08.240 --> 1:06:10.600
<v Speaker 1>York has conceded big games to wide receivers on the

1:06:10.720 --> 1:06:14.240
<v Speaker 1>same team. Just ask the Patriots, Jaguards, Dolphins, and Giants.

1:06:14.320 --> 1:06:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Renfro has at least four catches in four straight and

1:06:16.600 --> 1:06:19.320
<v Speaker 1>has scored twice in that span. Safe c for Hunter,

1:06:19.800 --> 1:06:26.840
<v Speaker 1>Darren Waller, Foster Moreau. Foster Moreau now has more touchdowns

1:06:26.840 --> 1:06:31.760
<v Speaker 1>than Darren Waller. So wrong, so painful. But Waller Whiller

1:06:31.840 --> 1:06:33.440
<v Speaker 1>is gonna find the end zone this week. Book it.

1:06:33.760 --> 1:06:35.439
<v Speaker 1>Even though the Jets have only allowed just two tight

1:06:35.480 --> 1:06:38.760
<v Speaker 1>end touchdowns all season, the majority of the opposition has

1:06:38.760 --> 1:06:41.560
<v Speaker 1>been garbage good to great tight ends. That faredwell against

1:06:41.560 --> 1:06:44.160
<v Speaker 1>New York. Mike Kasecki had six catches for ninety five

1:06:44.240 --> 1:06:46.280
<v Speaker 1>yards and Zach ERT's had five catches for fifty seven

1:06:46.360 --> 1:06:48.200
<v Speaker 1>yards and a touchdown against New York. Those were like

1:06:48.240 --> 1:06:49.640
<v Speaker 1>the only two tight ends they faced all years. So

1:06:49.640 --> 1:06:52.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna give Waller in a here and Derek Carr

1:06:52.000 --> 1:06:53.520
<v Speaker 1>and give him an a too. I'm still always a

1:06:53.520 --> 1:06:55.720
<v Speaker 1>little nervous when the West Coast team goes east to

1:06:55.760 --> 1:06:58.640
<v Speaker 1>play the early game, but the matchup is just two ripe.

1:06:58.640 --> 1:07:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Over the last four games, Jets have allowed to combine

1:07:01.040 --> 1:07:04.880
<v Speaker 1>twelve touchdown passes did Gardner, Minshew, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Daniel Jones,

1:07:04.920 --> 1:07:08.000
<v Speaker 1>and Dwyane Haskins. And the Jets run defense is just

1:07:08.080 --> 1:07:10.800
<v Speaker 1>so good. Like you said, charge Oakland probably gets funneled

1:07:10.840 --> 1:07:12.840
<v Speaker 1>to the pass and throws more often than they have

1:07:13.160 --> 1:07:17.080
<v Speaker 1>all season. Over to the Jets. Levian Bell, be grudgingly

1:07:17.160 --> 1:07:19.400
<v Speaker 1>going to give him a B, mentioned in take Coom

1:07:19.480 --> 1:07:21.880
<v Speaker 1>that his Snapp percentage has plummeted from the nineties to

1:07:21.960 --> 1:07:25.200
<v Speaker 1>the sixties um But after stuffing the run for most

1:07:25.200 --> 1:07:27.600
<v Speaker 1>of the season, Oakland has allowed over five yards per

1:07:27.640 --> 1:07:30.320
<v Speaker 1>carry over the last three games against battle Lines and

1:07:30.440 --> 1:07:33.040
<v Speaker 1>leadbacks have scored in back to back weeks, so I'll

1:07:33.080 --> 1:07:36.000
<v Speaker 1>give Levan bella be here. And before the Bengals game

1:07:36.080 --> 1:07:38.080
<v Speaker 1>last week, I mentioned this in takeom To. The Raiders

1:07:38.080 --> 1:07:40.320
<v Speaker 1>had allowed at least one receiving touchdown to a running

1:07:40.320 --> 1:07:42.240
<v Speaker 1>back in fourth straight games, So Balal Powell is might

1:07:42.240 --> 1:07:44.280
<v Speaker 1>take a chance on me running back. He also looks

1:07:44.280 --> 1:07:46.200
<v Speaker 1>like the best running back on the team right now.

1:07:46.680 --> 1:07:48.960
<v Speaker 1>We'll see if he usurups Bell. He just might. Jameson

1:07:49.000 --> 1:07:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Crowder can give him an a been red hot five catches,

1:07:52.800 --> 1:07:55.160
<v Speaker 1>at least five catches for seventy plus yards and a

1:07:55.280 --> 1:07:58.720
<v Speaker 1>touchdown in three straight games. He's only twenty six years old,

1:07:58.760 --> 1:08:01.920
<v Speaker 1>by the way, younger than Tyler lock It. Wow. Yeah

1:08:02.040 --> 1:08:05.400
<v Speaker 1>yeah uh. Tyler Boyd inexplicably wet the bed against the

1:08:05.480 --> 1:08:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Raiders last week. But outside of that, the Raiders have

1:08:08.720 --> 1:08:11.480
<v Speaker 1>been a dream matchup for slot receivers. The Oakland's other

1:08:11.520 --> 1:08:14.720
<v Speaker 1>nine games, slot receivers have targeted ten plus targets, seven

1:08:14.720 --> 1:08:17.360
<v Speaker 1>plus catches and eighty eight yards, and they scored six

1:08:17.400 --> 1:08:19.960
<v Speaker 1>total touchdowns on those nine games slot receivers. That is

1:08:19.960 --> 1:08:23.160
<v Speaker 1>so A for Jameson Crowder, a C for Robbie Anderson

1:08:23.200 --> 1:08:25.800
<v Speaker 1>though one or two catches and five of his last

1:08:25.800 --> 1:08:28.640
<v Speaker 1>seven games just been absolutely brutal. But this could be

1:08:29.000 --> 1:08:31.640
<v Speaker 1>a spike week for Robbie. The Raiders are allowing more

1:08:31.640 --> 1:08:33.719
<v Speaker 1>than a hundred and seventy five yards and a touchdown

1:08:33.800 --> 1:08:36.519
<v Speaker 1>per game to opposing wide receivers. But I really like

1:08:36.600 --> 1:08:39.400
<v Speaker 1>him more in daily uh as a daily play on Famble.

1:08:39.400 --> 1:08:41.880
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't trust him in a seasonal line up. Um,

1:08:41.920 --> 1:08:44.360
<v Speaker 1>and the Raiders have also been very generous to opposing

1:08:44.400 --> 1:08:46.600
<v Speaker 1>tight ends. That's why Ryan Griffin was CPS take a

1:08:46.640 --> 1:08:49.559
<v Speaker 1>chance on the receiver. And with all these starting grades

1:08:49.600 --> 1:08:53.200
<v Speaker 1>of receivers, I'm gonna give Sam Donald an easy be here. Um.

1:08:53.280 --> 1:08:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Nearly eight percent of the touchdowns surrendered by the Raiders

1:08:55.920 --> 1:08:58.120
<v Speaker 1>have come through the air. And before the Bengals game

1:08:58.200 --> 1:09:01.040
<v Speaker 1>last week, I got mentioned again. Oak has conceded passing

1:09:01.040 --> 1:09:04.519
<v Speaker 1>touchdown totals of two, three, three, five, two and three.

1:09:04.680 --> 1:09:06.960
<v Speaker 1>That's a lot. What does that spell? What dirty words?

1:09:07.040 --> 1:09:12.760
<v Speaker 1>That spell? That's not Let's go to our next match

1:09:12.800 --> 1:09:15.800
<v Speaker 1>of Baltimore taking on the Los Angeles Rams. This it's

1:09:15.880 --> 1:09:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Lamar Jackson. You have to start him. The Rams defense

1:09:19.720 --> 1:09:23.040
<v Speaker 1>is really good, is shaping up into being really good,

1:09:23.360 --> 1:09:27.440
<v Speaker 1>and they're giving up the fewest rushing yards two quarterbacks,

1:09:27.479 --> 1:09:29.360
<v Speaker 1>just four and a half yards per game on the

1:09:29.360 --> 1:09:31.760
<v Speaker 1>ground to opposing quarterbacks. What do you think of all

1:09:31.800 --> 1:09:34.839
<v Speaker 1>Lamar Jackson in this one? Well, they haven't played anybody

1:09:34.880 --> 1:09:38.559
<v Speaker 1>like Lamar Jackson. There is nobody like Lamar Jackson. Yeah.

1:09:38.600 --> 1:09:40.559
<v Speaker 1>I mean the first quarterback in history to run for

1:09:40.560 --> 1:09:43.280
<v Speaker 1>sixty plus yards and seven straight games, also has five

1:09:43.400 --> 1:09:46.800
<v Speaker 1>rushing scores in that same span. He's also thrown for

1:09:46.840 --> 1:09:49.280
<v Speaker 1>at least three touchdowns four time. I mean, he's he's met.

1:09:49.320 --> 1:09:51.040
<v Speaker 1>He's as matchup proof as they come. If you can

1:09:51.080 --> 1:09:52.600
<v Speaker 1>stop him on the ground, he can probably do it

1:09:52.600 --> 1:09:55.759
<v Speaker 1>through the air. So you can interrupt a second first

1:09:55.880 --> 1:10:00.800
<v Speaker 1>round you go next year, next August first round? Are

1:10:00.840 --> 1:10:03.000
<v Speaker 1>we gonna have a quarterback taken Lamar Jackson in one

1:10:03.360 --> 1:10:05.920
<v Speaker 1>quarterback leagues? You're talking about in one quarterback leagues and

1:10:05.960 --> 1:10:09.599
<v Speaker 1>one quarterback leagues. Will Lamar Jackson be a first round

1:10:09.600 --> 1:10:12.400
<v Speaker 1>pick next year? He? I think he very well could be.

1:10:12.479 --> 1:10:14.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't have the stat in front of me, but

1:10:14.200 --> 1:10:16.519
<v Speaker 1>I saw somebody tweeted it out earlier today. The list

1:10:16.520 --> 1:10:20.519
<v Speaker 1>of running backs that Lamar Jackson has more it's like

1:10:20.640 --> 1:10:24.040
<v Speaker 1>every yeah, I mean it's again, it's the old thing

1:10:24.080 --> 1:10:26.120
<v Speaker 1>where you're getting a running back in a quarterback all

1:10:26.120 --> 1:10:28.240
<v Speaker 1>in one. And so you're going we're going to be

1:10:28.280 --> 1:10:30.800
<v Speaker 1>talking next August mark my words in the twenty six

1:10:30.920 --> 1:10:34.679
<v Speaker 1>year Fantasy Football Weekly about whether or not Lamar Jackson

1:10:34.720 --> 1:10:38.040
<v Speaker 1>should be the first first taken, not first round first,

1:10:38.080 --> 1:10:42.599
<v Speaker 1>there will be an argument, you're right, continue I will.

1:10:42.720 --> 1:10:46.160
<v Speaker 1>Let's continue with the wide receivers who are all on

1:10:46.240 --> 1:10:48.559
<v Speaker 1>the bench. You know, Marquis Brown had a couple of

1:10:48.560 --> 1:10:52.000
<v Speaker 1>great games early in the year, but only one Baltimore

1:10:52.040 --> 1:10:54.920
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver has even topped sixty one yards since that

1:10:54.960 --> 1:10:56.880
<v Speaker 1>big game in Week one. They just aren't throwing it

1:10:57.000 --> 1:10:58.920
<v Speaker 1>very much to the wide receivers. And oh, by the way,

1:10:59.040 --> 1:11:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Ramsey is on the other side of the ball,

1:11:01.000 --> 1:11:03.680
<v Speaker 1>So the wide receiver's Marquise Brown, Willie sneed there on

1:11:03.720 --> 1:11:05.880
<v Speaker 1>the bench mark Andrews is in play here. He was

1:11:05.920 --> 1:11:09.080
<v Speaker 1>targeted seven plus times in eight of ten games this year,

1:11:09.479 --> 1:11:12.439
<v Speaker 1>three touchdowns in the last two games. The Rams have

1:11:12.479 --> 1:11:15.000
<v Speaker 1>allowed at least seventy four yards to a touch to

1:11:15.120 --> 1:11:17.559
<v Speaker 1>a tight end three times in their last six games.

1:11:17.560 --> 1:11:19.360
<v Speaker 1>So I've got an a grade on Mark Andrews, who

1:11:19.400 --> 1:11:23.679
<v Speaker 1>is clearly Jackson's favored receiver. Here, mark Ingram a little

1:11:23.680 --> 1:11:25.599
<v Speaker 1>bit of a tougher story here, held the fifty two

1:11:25.680 --> 1:11:28.519
<v Speaker 1>or fewer rushing yards five times in the last six games.

1:11:28.840 --> 1:11:32.400
<v Speaker 1>He's still scoring touchdowns. He has ten touchdowns in ten games,

1:11:32.400 --> 1:11:35.240
<v Speaker 1>but it's turned into you need the touchdown for him

1:11:35.240 --> 1:11:37.800
<v Speaker 1>to be relevant because he's not getting the yards. That's

1:11:37.840 --> 1:11:40.040
<v Speaker 1>similar to the way the Rams defense plays. They're very

1:11:40.080 --> 1:11:42.880
<v Speaker 1>tough against running backs, but they have allowed nine running

1:11:42.880 --> 1:11:46.200
<v Speaker 1>back touchdowns in ten games. So yeah, it's and it's

1:11:46.200 --> 1:11:48.680
<v Speaker 1>the same story here with Ingram. He's gonna get you

1:11:48.840 --> 1:11:52.439
<v Speaker 1>fifty sixty yards and coin flips chance of a touchdown.

1:11:52.520 --> 1:11:55.080
<v Speaker 1>So that's a B level starting grade. Gus Edwards, he's

1:11:55.120 --> 1:11:57.040
<v Speaker 1>just the closer at the end of at the end

1:11:57.040 --> 1:12:01.720
<v Speaker 1>of blowouts. Yep, the ramside. Jared Goff is on the

1:12:01.720 --> 1:12:04.599
<v Speaker 1>bench man, just drop this guy. Scoreless in the last

1:12:04.600 --> 1:12:08.240
<v Speaker 1>two outings. Ravens past defense is elite. They've held all

1:12:08.280 --> 1:12:11.320
<v Speaker 1>but one opposing pastor to one touchdown or fewer. Golf

1:12:11.439 --> 1:12:19.519
<v Speaker 1>is an easy bench here Cooper Cup three catches for

1:12:19.600 --> 1:12:22.959
<v Speaker 1>Cooper Cup just seven targets the last two games, three catches,

1:12:23.720 --> 1:12:25.840
<v Speaker 1>he'll I mean, he plays in the slot, so at

1:12:25.880 --> 1:12:30.479
<v Speaker 1>least he'll avoid Marcus Peters, their shutdown corner, Peter Peters. Right, yeah, right,

1:12:32.360 --> 1:12:35.120
<v Speaker 1>it's a revenge game for Marcus Peters. Yeah, there you go,

1:12:35.920 --> 1:12:38.880
<v Speaker 1>a defensive revenge game. But I've got a C grade

1:12:38.920 --> 1:12:41.680
<v Speaker 1>on Cup because he's really the only sort of reliable

1:12:41.800 --> 1:12:45.560
<v Speaker 1>receiver that Goff has right now. Because Brandon Cooks and

1:12:45.640 --> 1:12:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Robert Woods, their status is both a little bit in

1:12:48.080 --> 1:12:50.840
<v Speaker 1>the air. It sounds like Cooks might is probably going

1:12:50.880 --> 1:12:54.200
<v Speaker 1>to return. Sweet they're both going to play was cleared

1:12:54.240 --> 1:12:57.840
<v Speaker 1>on Friday, Cooks in and the personal and Woods was

1:12:57.880 --> 1:13:01.639
<v Speaker 1>back at practice after missing last frustratingly missing last week's

1:13:01.640 --> 1:13:05.040
<v Speaker 1>game with a personal issue. But Woods hadn't scored all

1:13:05.120 --> 1:13:08.160
<v Speaker 1>year before he missed that game, this past year or

1:13:08.200 --> 1:13:11.599
<v Speaker 1>this past week. Cooks in seven plus games before his concussion,

1:13:11.680 --> 1:13:13.760
<v Speaker 1>he had only one touchdown and only one game of

1:13:13.800 --> 1:13:17.240
<v Speaker 1>seventy five yards or more. And the matchup is really bad.

1:13:17.360 --> 1:13:19.320
<v Speaker 1>So I've got both, I've got both of those guys

1:13:19.400 --> 1:13:21.599
<v Speaker 1>on the bench. I guess in desperation you can put

1:13:21.640 --> 1:13:23.960
<v Speaker 1>him in, but no better than a see tight end

1:13:24.000 --> 1:13:26.599
<v Speaker 1>Gerald Everett. Of course, Baltimore is a lead against opposing

1:13:26.600 --> 1:13:29.160
<v Speaker 1>tight ends. None have topped four catches or twenty eight

1:13:29.200 --> 1:13:31.439
<v Speaker 1>yards in the last six games. He is on the bench.

1:13:32.000 --> 1:13:37.280
<v Speaker 1>That brings us to Todd Gurley touches last week, most

1:13:37.320 --> 1:13:40.240
<v Speaker 1>of the year's previous high was nineteen. It appears maybe

1:13:40.360 --> 1:13:43.120
<v Speaker 1>the Rams have kind of been saving him, preserving him

1:13:43.160 --> 1:13:46.200
<v Speaker 1>for this stretch run. For you're a girly owner, that's

1:13:46.200 --> 1:13:48.639
<v Speaker 1>what you have to hope is happening here. The Ravens

1:13:48.640 --> 1:13:50.760
<v Speaker 1>can be beat on the ground. Last week they gave

1:13:50.840 --> 1:13:52.560
<v Speaker 1>up a hundred and five yards in a touchdown to

1:13:53.120 --> 1:13:56.160
<v Speaker 1>the Carlos Hide and Duke Johnson combo. The week before

1:13:56.200 --> 1:13:59.040
<v Speaker 1>that a hundred and fifty one combined rushing and receiving

1:13:59.080 --> 1:14:01.280
<v Speaker 1>yards to Joe Mix. And so I've got to be

1:14:01.479 --> 1:14:04.759
<v Speaker 1>level grade here on Girle. If he's getting plus touches,

1:14:04.800 --> 1:14:07.439
<v Speaker 1>he's at least to be even in a tough matchup

1:14:07.560 --> 1:14:09.680
<v Speaker 1>that that that works out, That works out well. Can

1:14:09.720 --> 1:14:12.120
<v Speaker 1>I get a personal you know, personal reasons? Can I

1:14:12.160 --> 1:14:15.559
<v Speaker 1>miss the next segment with personal reasons to buy the reasons?

1:14:15.560 --> 1:14:17.920
<v Speaker 1>I gotta work with you, two dorks. That's the reason

1:14:18.160 --> 1:14:20.439

1:15:13.640 --> 1:15:15.439
<v Speaker 1>What I really want to figure out is how can

1:15:15.479 --> 1:15:24.559
<v Speaker 1>I emerge the time machine with them with the trump

1:15:24.800 --> 1:15:28.760
<v Speaker 1>trombone solo from American Pie two? Is there a way

1:15:28.760 --> 1:15:31.760
<v Speaker 1>to do both? I don't think there is, unfortunately, but

1:15:31.960 --> 1:15:34.320
<v Speaker 1>I do love that. I mean only if one of

1:15:34.400 --> 1:15:37.320
<v Speaker 1>us was going to imply that you should take the

1:15:37.360 --> 1:15:40.479
<v Speaker 1>sad trombone scheme, well there is that, if you wouldn't

1:15:40.520 --> 1:15:42.680
<v Speaker 1>mind be very helpful. I don't think any's going to

1:15:42.760 --> 1:15:45.360
<v Speaker 1>do that, though. I think it was Jackass where uh

1:15:45.720 --> 1:15:48.040
<v Speaker 1>it was Stepho think you played a trumpet with a

1:15:48.080 --> 1:15:51.439
<v Speaker 1>bee hole? Really that should really be the sad It's

1:15:51.479 --> 1:15:55.040
<v Speaker 1>the saddest sadly, I've I feel like I've seen this God,

1:15:55.280 --> 1:15:58.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't um. All right, let's go to uh, let's

1:15:58.120 --> 1:16:00.920
<v Speaker 1>go to our premature speculation, guys, beginning with Brian who

1:16:01.000 --> 1:16:02.840
<v Speaker 1>you got. All Right, I don't know if it'll be

1:16:02.840 --> 1:16:04.760
<v Speaker 1>a hot commodity, but he's gonna be a commodity at

1:16:04.760 --> 1:16:06.879
<v Speaker 1>some point later in the season. And that's the Bengals

1:16:06.920 --> 1:16:10.640
<v Speaker 1>running back trey Vin Williams, who was drafted that he

1:16:10.680 --> 1:16:13.920
<v Speaker 1>was drafted in the NFL Draft. Everybody is a commodity, right,

1:16:13.800 --> 1:16:17.120
<v Speaker 1>but at some point, just they gotta put mixing on

1:16:17.200 --> 1:16:19.439
<v Speaker 1>ice there, oh, inten since that it is, and just

1:16:19.800 --> 1:16:23.160
<v Speaker 1>trey v Williams is gonna be this cheap DFS option

1:16:23.200 --> 1:16:25.720
<v Speaker 1>kind of guy who's gonna start a game for the

1:16:25.720 --> 1:16:28.160
<v Speaker 1>Bengals at some point. I can just feel it. Giovanni

1:16:28.200 --> 1:16:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Bernard always gets banged up. He's on a true lead back.

1:16:30.400 --> 1:16:32.280
<v Speaker 1>They're just gonna let this kid get some run at

1:16:32.320 --> 1:16:34.240
<v Speaker 1>the end of the season as he continue to try

1:16:34.320 --> 1:16:36.960
<v Speaker 1>and go oh and sixteen. So trey ViOn Williams will

1:16:36.960 --> 1:16:38.800
<v Speaker 1>be a warm bodied running back for you later in

1:16:38.880 --> 1:16:41.720
<v Speaker 1>the season. Alright, Christian, Alright, I'm gonna go with Tim

1:16:41.760 --> 1:16:44.439
<v Speaker 1>Patrick wide receiver for the Broncos. Here he was the

1:16:44.439 --> 1:16:47.120
<v Speaker 1>only wide receiver other than Courtland Sutton to be targeted

1:16:47.240 --> 1:16:49.679
<v Speaker 1>last week in his return from i R. He broke

1:16:49.720 --> 1:16:51.280
<v Speaker 1>his hand in Week one and he's been on the

1:16:51.280 --> 1:16:54.000
<v Speaker 1>shelf ever since. He returned. Last week turned eight targets

1:16:54.320 --> 1:16:57.679
<v Speaker 1>into four catches and seventy seven yards. You may remember

1:16:57.720 --> 1:17:02.439
<v Speaker 1>Patrick from such seasons as last season, when during the

1:17:02.439 --> 1:17:06.080
<v Speaker 1>final four games, he led the Broncos and targets, catches,

1:17:06.200 --> 1:17:11.280
<v Speaker 1>and yards, all of which were better than Courtland's Sutton's

1:17:11.360 --> 1:17:14.600
<v Speaker 1>numbers over the same span. Courtland Sutton, who was a

1:17:14.680 --> 1:17:18.759
<v Speaker 1>top five Fantasy wide receiver, not even the best receiver

1:17:18.880 --> 1:17:22.160
<v Speaker 1>on his own team. That's Tim Patrick, all right. Okay,

1:17:22.160 --> 1:17:24.880
<v Speaker 1>so maybe that's going a little overboard, but Patrick is

1:17:24.920 --> 1:17:28.639
<v Speaker 1>an intriguing prospect. He's six four, he's two pounds, he's physical,

1:17:28.880 --> 1:17:31.679
<v Speaker 1>he can run. He's shown that he can produce over

1:17:31.720 --> 1:17:34.160
<v Speaker 1>his five last five games at the NFL level. The

1:17:34.200 --> 1:17:36.360
<v Speaker 1>near term outlook is hindered a little bit by Brandon

1:17:36.400 --> 1:17:39.679
<v Speaker 1>Allen at quarterback, of course, and a tough, tough couple

1:17:39.720 --> 1:17:41.960
<v Speaker 1>of matchups in the next three weeks the Bills and Chargers,

1:17:41.960 --> 1:17:44.720
<v Speaker 1>But after that a couple of cupcakes Texans in Week

1:17:44.760 --> 1:17:47.760
<v Speaker 1>fourteen Lions Week sixteen, he might be thinking about a

1:17:47.760 --> 1:17:51.840
<v Speaker 1>sneaky guy. To Tim Patrick, I think there's a coin

1:17:51.880 --> 1:17:54.960
<v Speaker 1>flip chance of Benny Snell becomes the workhorse back for

1:17:55.000 --> 1:17:58.000
<v Speaker 1>the Steelers. Now, the Steelers traditionally have a workhorse back.

1:17:58.760 --> 1:18:04.400
<v Speaker 1>Guests who can't a workhorse back jn Samuel's and you're correct,

1:18:04.640 --> 1:18:08.400
<v Speaker 1>that is a correct answer. And James Conner because well

1:18:08.479 --> 1:18:11.320
<v Speaker 1>him either because he's no good. They only have one

1:18:11.360 --> 1:18:14.000
<v Speaker 1>guy on roster who I think can emerge as the

1:18:14.040 --> 1:18:16.960
<v Speaker 1>workhorse back, and it's Benny Snell. It starts this week.

1:18:17.000 --> 1:18:19.080
<v Speaker 1>He's available in most leagues because he was out last

1:18:19.120 --> 1:18:22.160
<v Speaker 1>week with injury. Benny Snell has a real chance of

1:18:22.160 --> 1:18:24.000
<v Speaker 1>being the starting running back for the Steelers on a

1:18:24.040 --> 1:18:25.840
<v Speaker 1>team that can't pass very well. He's got a run

1:18:26.200 --> 1:18:27.920
<v Speaker 1>and it's got a good enough offensive line to make

1:18:27.920 --> 1:18:30.040
<v Speaker 1>the running backs valuable. Not only that, but if you're

1:18:30.040 --> 1:18:32.559
<v Speaker 1>in a dynasty league an empirely you're thinking about next year,

1:18:33.240 --> 1:18:35.639
<v Speaker 1>who's your starting running back going into camp next year?

1:18:35.800 --> 1:18:38.559
<v Speaker 1>Could be Benny Snell. There's at least Benny Sells as

1:18:38.560 --> 1:18:42.080
<v Speaker 1>good a chance as anybody else that's currently on roster

1:18:42.320 --> 1:18:46.040
<v Speaker 1>to be the Steelers starting running back. Wouldn't be funny,

1:18:46.040 --> 1:18:47.760
<v Speaker 1>by the way, Jets are Jets are gonna cut Levy

1:18:47.760 --> 1:18:49.960
<v Speaker 1>on Bell right, terrible contract. They never should have signed

1:18:50.000 --> 1:18:53.799
<v Speaker 1>him he could What if he found his way back Steelers?

1:18:54.280 --> 1:18:56.639
<v Speaker 1>Would that be fun Let's go to our final two matchups,

1:18:56.680 --> 1:18:59.040
<v Speaker 1>the Sunday Nighters, green Bay taking on San Francisco. Brian

1:18:59.080 --> 1:19:02.120
<v Speaker 1>for San Francisco's side. Four players come into this game

1:19:02.200 --> 1:19:05.600
<v Speaker 1>as game time decisions. If you've got Emmanuel Sanders or

1:19:05.680 --> 1:19:10.479
<v Speaker 1>George Kittle or Deebo Samuel or Matt Breda, we encourage

1:19:10.479 --> 1:19:13.640
<v Speaker 1>you to put them in your flex spot. Now have

1:19:13.800 --> 1:19:16.400
<v Speaker 1>another player that's a Sunday Night player or Monday Night

1:19:16.400 --> 1:19:19.759
<v Speaker 1>player ready to go into the flex if it turns

1:19:19.800 --> 1:19:22.880
<v Speaker 1>out that that guy is a last minute deactivation. So

1:19:22.960 --> 1:19:25.599
<v Speaker 1>there's just some quick broad advice on that. But let's

1:19:25.600 --> 1:19:27.040
<v Speaker 1>start with the green Bay side. What do you think

1:19:27.080 --> 1:19:29.040
<v Speaker 1>about the Packers and a very what feels like, at

1:19:29.120 --> 1:19:30.920
<v Speaker 1>least on paper, is a very tough matchup with a

1:19:30.920 --> 1:19:33.840
<v Speaker 1>good forty Niners defense. Yeah, we'll start with Aaron Jones.

1:19:33.880 --> 1:19:35.320
<v Speaker 1>I can give him a B. It's really not that

1:19:35.439 --> 1:19:38.160
<v Speaker 1>scary matchup for running backs anymore against the forty Niners.

1:19:38.160 --> 1:19:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Over their last four games, the Niners are allowing more

1:19:40.240 --> 1:19:41.920
<v Speaker 1>than five and a half yards per carry and have

1:19:41.960 --> 1:19:44.840
<v Speaker 1>surrendered three rushing scores for running backs. So I gotta

1:19:44.880 --> 1:19:47.960
<v Speaker 1>be on Aaron Jones. And even though he hit thirteen

1:19:48.040 --> 1:19:50.639
<v Speaker 1>carries which was the same amount as Jamal Williams against

1:19:50.640 --> 1:19:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Caroline Week ten, but Jones had an extra thirty yards

1:19:52.840 --> 1:19:55.759
<v Speaker 1>and he scored the hat trick three touchdowns. So always

1:19:56.000 --> 1:19:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Jones over william still, but Williams will get to see

1:19:58.120 --> 1:20:00.559
<v Speaker 1>I think we'll get enough work in this one, especially

1:20:00.560 --> 1:20:03.559
<v Speaker 1>through the air, to warrant a flexor for most again

1:20:03.560 --> 1:20:06.120
<v Speaker 1>because this matchup is suddenly good for running backs. Davante

1:20:06.160 --> 1:20:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Adams not a great matchup for him at all. I'll

1:20:09.240 --> 1:20:11.280
<v Speaker 1>I'll give him a be here. Has seen double digit

1:20:11.320 --> 1:20:13.880
<v Speaker 1>targets in every game since his return. I believe no

1:20:13.960 --> 1:20:17.719
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns still on the season, though absolutely brutal odds Aret

1:20:17.720 --> 1:20:21.080
<v Speaker 1>doesn't come here. San Francisco has allowed a wide receiver

1:20:21.200 --> 1:20:24.479
<v Speaker 1>touchdown and only two of their last eight games, and

1:20:24.520 --> 1:20:27.720
<v Speaker 1>both of those games are against the Cardinals. I'm much

1:20:27.720 --> 1:20:30.759
<v Speaker 1>of what to make of that, really, but whatever, Fluke Anyways,

1:20:30.840 --> 1:20:33.880
<v Speaker 1>San fran also hasn't allowed a one one yard receiver

1:20:34.000 --> 1:20:37.000
<v Speaker 1>since Week two, so a very soft be for Davante Adams.

1:20:37.160 --> 1:20:42.519
<v Speaker 1>I'm benching all the other Adams no touchdowns this year? Zero,

1:20:42.640 --> 1:20:46.000
<v Speaker 1>I think I just said that. Yeah, sorry, crazy, Uh yeah,

1:20:46.280 --> 1:20:50.160
<v Speaker 1>he's been killing people. What by the way, no touchdowns?

1:20:51.479 --> 1:20:56.360
<v Speaker 1>You don't say tell me more. I'm betting all the

1:20:56.400 --> 1:21:00.320
<v Speaker 1>other wide receivers for obvious reasons that I just engined

1:21:00.360 --> 1:21:02.800
<v Speaker 1>in the Davante Adams right up. He hasn't scored any

1:21:02.800 --> 1:21:05.679
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns by the way, Davanta Adams. But you can't bench

1:21:05.760 --> 1:21:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Graham on his birthday, right We need a birthday

1:21:09.920 --> 1:21:13.919
<v Speaker 1>sound effects by the way, like like about happy Birthday.

1:21:14.800 --> 1:21:20.360
<v Speaker 1>That's not a sound effects, Like what's the I suppose

1:21:20.479 --> 1:21:28.640
<v Speaker 1>that multi candles, that's the streamer thing or whatever. It's not.

1:21:29.160 --> 1:21:34.280
<v Speaker 1>It's got the paper because it was. We would be

1:21:34.320 --> 1:21:37.200
<v Speaker 1>playing that for Jimmy Graham. But it's only his birthday.

1:21:37.400 --> 1:21:39.719
<v Speaker 1>It's not a good matchup. The Niners have only allowed

1:21:39.720 --> 1:21:42.640
<v Speaker 1>two tight end touchdowns on the season, but the competition

1:21:42.680 --> 1:21:46.240
<v Speaker 1>has been pretty atrocious. Uh. The comparable corpse of Tyler

1:21:46.240 --> 1:21:49.040
<v Speaker 1>effort to Jimmy Graham caught a touchdown against Francisco, and

1:21:49.120 --> 1:21:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Jacob Policer just had eight catches and a score against

1:21:51.920 --> 1:21:54.559
<v Speaker 1>San France. I'll give Graham se As a birthday gift.

1:21:55.200 --> 1:21:57.360
<v Speaker 1>What I'll give Aaron Rodgers, though, is a seat on

1:21:57.479 --> 1:22:00.960
<v Speaker 1>the bench. Has thrown just five touchdowns across four away

1:22:01.000 --> 1:22:03.960
<v Speaker 1>games this season, and this isn't an optimal setting. San

1:22:04.000 --> 1:22:06.559
<v Speaker 1>France has only allowed three passing touchdowns over their last

1:22:06.600 --> 1:22:09.920
<v Speaker 1>four home games, and Football Outsiders has the the Niners

1:22:09.920 --> 1:22:12.800
<v Speaker 1>are ranked second against the past this season. Rogers on

1:22:12.840 --> 1:22:15.759
<v Speaker 1>the bench. You mentioned all the injuries for the forty

1:22:15.840 --> 1:22:20.320
<v Speaker 1>Niners chart starting with George Kittle practiced Thursday and Friday

1:22:20.479 --> 1:22:24.400
<v Speaker 1>in limited fashion, non contact Jersey, but reports are optimistic

1:22:24.400 --> 1:22:25.920
<v Speaker 1>that he's gonna play. So I'm just gonna go with

1:22:26.000 --> 1:22:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Kittle's gonna play on Sunday night. Uh, and again hopefully

1:22:30.240 --> 1:22:32.280
<v Speaker 1>he does. It's a great matchup. Green Bay has allowed

1:22:32.320 --> 1:22:34.599
<v Speaker 1>seven and a half catches per game two tight ends

1:22:34.600 --> 1:22:37.120
<v Speaker 1>over the last four games. Darren Waller, Travis Kelsey and

1:22:37.160 --> 1:22:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Dallas Goddard combined for four touchdown catches against the Packers

1:22:40.120 --> 1:22:42.800
<v Speaker 1>so far this year. UH. Emmanuel Sanders another guy who's

1:22:42.840 --> 1:22:45.360
<v Speaker 1>listed as question with a rib injury. I think there's

1:22:45.360 --> 1:22:48.320
<v Speaker 1>a little more optimism around Sanders, and there is Kittle,

1:22:48.640 --> 1:22:51.320
<v Speaker 1>so we'll go with him playing as well. Green Bay

1:22:51.439 --> 1:22:54.040
<v Speaker 1>has allowed their opponent's top wide receiver to clear the

1:22:54.080 --> 1:22:56.800
<v Speaker 1>century mark in four of their last six games, and

1:22:56.960 --> 1:22:59.400
<v Speaker 1>Emmanuel Sanders is the top wide receiver on San Francisco

1:22:59.439 --> 1:23:03.599
<v Speaker 1>now if health so that puts Deebo Samuel on the

1:23:03.640 --> 1:23:06.200
<v Speaker 1>bench for me and this one. Unless Sanders sits. I

1:23:06.240 --> 1:23:11.240
<v Speaker 1>love Deebo Samuel, he should not be dropped. But there's

1:23:11.520 --> 1:23:14.800
<v Speaker 1>uh the running backs before the point that I was

1:23:14.800 --> 1:23:18.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna get back to the run in this one. It's

1:23:18.320 --> 1:23:20.760
<v Speaker 1>bottom half an opponent past attempts per game less than

1:23:20.800 --> 1:23:23.880
<v Speaker 1>thirty five per game. I don't see the volume for Deebo.

1:23:23.960 --> 1:23:27.679
<v Speaker 1>But if Kittle end or Sanders is out, Samuel should

1:23:27.680 --> 1:23:29.080
<v Speaker 1>be in your starting lineup. But I'm benching him in

1:23:29.120 --> 1:23:31.280
<v Speaker 1>this one. I still see a ton of targets for

1:23:31.280 --> 1:23:34.160
<v Speaker 1>for Deebo here should be universally owned, like I said,

1:23:34.280 --> 1:23:38.080
<v Speaker 1>and Jimmy Jimmy G Jimmy Garoppolo, I'll give him a see.

1:23:38.120 --> 1:23:40.160
<v Speaker 1>If Kittle plays, I really want to see Kid on

1:23:40.160 --> 1:23:42.320
<v Speaker 1>this one to start Jimmy G. But again, green Bay

1:23:42.320 --> 1:23:45.240
<v Speaker 1>bottom half an opponent pass attempts per game. I think

1:23:45.240 --> 1:23:47.559
<v Speaker 1>it's all about the run game here for San Francis,

1:23:47.560 --> 1:23:49.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna put Jimmy g on the bench here, even

1:23:49.320 --> 1:23:51.400
<v Speaker 1>though we're throwing the ball ninety one times across the

1:23:51.439 --> 1:23:53.840
<v Speaker 1>last two games. There was some overtime there though, And

1:23:53.960 --> 1:23:56.280
<v Speaker 1>speaking of the running backs, Tevin Coleman can give him

1:23:56.280 --> 1:23:58.759
<v Speaker 1>a see. He's been a roller coaster ride since returning

1:23:58.800 --> 1:24:01.360
<v Speaker 1>from injury. But according to Football Outside Its, green Bay's

1:24:01.439 --> 1:24:04.280
<v Speaker 1>ranks against the run and they have yielded the third

1:24:04.320 --> 1:24:06.360
<v Speaker 1>most red zone touches to running backs and gold to

1:24:06.439 --> 1:24:10.240
<v Speaker 1>go scenarios and don't underestimate this. If Kittle comes back,

1:24:10.280 --> 1:24:11.880
<v Speaker 1>that would be huge for Tevin Coleman in the running

1:24:11.880 --> 1:24:16.080
<v Speaker 1>game because he's a beastly blocker. He's like and uh

1:24:16.320 --> 1:24:19.080
<v Speaker 1>so you gotta contemplate a backup running back for the

1:24:19.120 --> 1:24:22.240
<v Speaker 1>forty Niners. Matt Breed has actually been downgraded to doubtful

1:24:22.400 --> 1:24:25.000
<v Speaker 1>as of Friday, so it looks like Rhee most would

1:24:25.000 --> 1:24:27.040
<v Speaker 1>be the guy again, even though Jeff Wilson is also

1:24:27.080 --> 1:24:30.120
<v Speaker 1>in the mix. But again green Bay conceding nearly thirty

1:24:30.120 --> 1:24:32.719
<v Speaker 1>touches per game to running backs. They've just been awful

1:24:32.760 --> 1:24:35.960
<v Speaker 1>against the run, so I'll give most to see. By

1:24:36.000 --> 1:24:41.280
<v Speaker 1>the way, they're called party blowers. Blowers, party blowers. It

1:24:41.400 --> 1:24:43.960
<v Speaker 1>is a boring name, although you know how many times

1:24:44.040 --> 1:24:45.880
<v Speaker 1>how many times you got a party blower in your mouth.

1:24:48.160 --> 1:24:52.080
<v Speaker 1>Atlanta takes on time Bay and Matt Ryan gets an

1:24:52.080 --> 1:24:55.839
<v Speaker 1>absolute obvious a start here. The Bucks rejiggered their secondary

1:24:55.880 --> 1:24:58.240
<v Speaker 1>before last week's game and ended up with a familiar result,

1:24:58.280 --> 1:25:03.560
<v Speaker 1>allowing three touchdown passes, extending their laughably dubious streak to

1:25:03.840 --> 1:25:08.000
<v Speaker 1>three or more touchdowns in four straight games allowed through

1:25:08.000 --> 1:25:11.599
<v Speaker 1>the air for Morgados. Here, Matt and Matt Ryan absolutely

1:25:11.600 --> 1:25:16.160
<v Speaker 1>hammered Tampa last year in two games. Seven hundred thirty

1:25:16.200 --> 1:25:19.920
<v Speaker 1>four passing yards in two games for Matt Ryan against

1:25:19.920 --> 1:25:23.519
<v Speaker 1>Tampa last year A grade. Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley.

1:25:23.600 --> 1:25:27.639
<v Speaker 1>I never do this. They're my number one and number

1:25:27.680 --> 1:25:32.240
<v Speaker 1>two ranked wide receivers overall. They're probably both not gonna

1:25:32.280 --> 1:25:34.679
<v Speaker 1>live up to that billing, but either one of them

1:25:34.800 --> 1:25:36.719
<v Speaker 1>could be the number one that could be the highest

1:25:36.720 --> 1:25:39.120
<v Speaker 1>scoring guy. So I've got them both as as one

1:25:39.160 --> 1:25:42.400
<v Speaker 1>and two. And over the last three games, Tampas allowed

1:25:42.400 --> 1:25:45.400
<v Speaker 1>two hundred forty six yards per game to receivers. Four

1:25:45.439 --> 1:25:49.040
<v Speaker 1>receivers have topped one hundred yards. Eight receivers have scored

1:25:49.080 --> 1:25:52.240
<v Speaker 1>in three games against Tampa A great opportunity for them.

1:25:52.400 --> 1:25:54.639
<v Speaker 1>Russell Gage was na take a chance. I mean wide

1:25:54.640 --> 1:25:58.160
<v Speaker 1>receiver there, slot receiver he's got gets a C grade

1:25:58.200 --> 1:26:00.760
<v Speaker 1>in this game, and they're running back Brian Everybody started

1:26:00.800 --> 1:26:03.760
<v Speaker 1>him last week, had it and things did not go well. Right.

1:26:03.840 --> 1:26:05.760
<v Speaker 1>He saw the lions here of carries and snaps, but

1:26:05.800 --> 1:26:07.559
<v Speaker 1>he did nothing with them. He lost a touchdown on

1:26:07.600 --> 1:26:09.559
<v Speaker 1>a penalty and got yanked at the goal line for

1:26:09.640 --> 1:26:14.080
<v Speaker 1>something called Cadrey Allison. For two months, Tampa Bay's run

1:26:14.120 --> 1:26:17.960
<v Speaker 1>defense was red hot, but lately they're receding. They've allowed

1:26:17.960 --> 1:26:20.200
<v Speaker 1>at least four point eight yards per carried it backs

1:26:20.200 --> 1:26:23.160
<v Speaker 1>in three of their last four games. It'll be just

1:26:23.439 --> 1:26:27.960
<v Speaker 1>like fantasy football for everybody to have gotten on Brian

1:26:28.080 --> 1:26:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Hill in an easy matchup last week. Everybody gets off

1:26:31.200 --> 1:26:35.080
<v Speaker 1>him now in a seemingly tough matchup that secretly isn't

1:26:35.120 --> 1:26:37.040
<v Speaker 1>as tough and watched. This is gonna be the Brian

1:26:37.120 --> 1:26:40.760
<v Speaker 1>Hill game. C C grade, starting grade. Brian Hill. Let's

1:26:40.760 --> 1:26:43.040
<v Speaker 1>go to the Tampa Bay side. First, you're gonna have

1:26:43.080 --> 1:26:46.840
<v Speaker 1>to decide if the Falcon suddenly elite defense is legit

1:26:47.040 --> 1:26:50.080
<v Speaker 1>or not. I don't know for sure, but there is

1:26:50.160 --> 1:26:54.400
<v Speaker 1>one data point for you. Their coach where he Mostard

1:26:54.439 --> 1:26:58.320
<v Speaker 1>got switched to secondary coach two games ago and in

1:26:58.360 --> 1:27:02.599
<v Speaker 1>two games no touchdowns allowed. So there is a reason

1:27:02.640 --> 1:27:05.160
<v Speaker 1>to think that that's a legitimate switch and this defense

1:27:05.160 --> 1:27:08.760
<v Speaker 1>can be better. And I've downgraded my my my expectations

1:27:09.200 --> 1:27:11.880
<v Speaker 1>to just a B grade for Jamis Winston. Over the

1:27:11.880 --> 1:27:14.280
<v Speaker 1>past two weeks, I mentioned the Falcons of Blank, Drew Brees,

1:27:14.320 --> 1:27:17.880
<v Speaker 1>and Kyle Allen uh a stunning reversal for them. Jamis

1:27:17.880 --> 1:27:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Winston comes into this game having thrown for three or

1:27:20.400 --> 1:27:22.720
<v Speaker 1>more yards and five straight games, and he demolished the

1:27:22.720 --> 1:27:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Falcons and their two meetings last year, so he still

1:27:25.400 --> 1:27:28.040
<v Speaker 1>gets a B grade here. Mike Evans is obviously Mike Evans.

1:27:28.040 --> 1:27:29.960
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna start him every week, including this week. He

1:27:30.000 --> 1:27:31.640
<v Speaker 1>gets a B grade as well for the reasons that

1:27:31.680 --> 1:27:34.800
<v Speaker 1>I just mentioned. Evans averaging five catches for seventy eight

1:27:34.840 --> 1:27:38.160
<v Speaker 1>yards against the Falcons in his last three games. Chris

1:27:38.200 --> 1:27:40.920
<v Speaker 1>Godwin also gets a B. He'll be tested in the

1:27:40.960 --> 1:27:44.320
<v Speaker 1>slot by rookie cornerback Kendall Sheffield. This was one of

1:27:44.400 --> 1:27:47.120
<v Speaker 1>the changes where he mostred made. He's been excellent in

1:27:47.160 --> 1:27:50.880
<v Speaker 1>these last two weeks out of the slot Godwin though

1:27:50.880 --> 1:27:53.320
<v Speaker 1>in his two games against the Falcons, averaging eighty five yards,

1:27:53.360 --> 1:27:55.320
<v Speaker 1>and he has found the end zone three times in

1:27:55.360 --> 1:27:59.200
<v Speaker 1>his two games against the Falcons. Ronald Jones gets a

1:27:59.280 --> 1:28:02.559
<v Speaker 1>B grade in US one. Peyton Barber had zero rushes

1:28:02.680 --> 1:28:05.360
<v Speaker 1>last week. Although Ronald Jones didn't do much with the

1:28:05.360 --> 1:28:08.120
<v Speaker 1>opportunity UH last week, he gave us a grand total

1:28:08.160 --> 1:28:10.120
<v Speaker 1>of two catches for one yard. That's all we got

1:28:10.120 --> 1:28:11.479
<v Speaker 1>through the air. After it looked like he was gonna

1:28:11.479 --> 1:28:13.680
<v Speaker 1>be a pass catcher there. Falcons had given up five

1:28:13.760 --> 1:28:16.040
<v Speaker 1>yards per carry to running backs over their last four games.

1:28:16.160 --> 1:28:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Ronald Jones gets a B grade under the assumption he's

1:28:18.240 --> 1:28:20.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of continue to get the vast majority of the

1:28:20.000 --> 1:28:22.320
<v Speaker 1>work and that is all you need to know from

1:28:22.320 --> 1:28:24.760
<v Speaker 1>that matchup. I think Peyton Barber is dead to us.

1:28:24.840 --> 1:28:27.120
<v Speaker 1>If Jones doesn't produce, just shoot all the Tampa Bay

1:28:27.160 --> 1:28:30.479
<v Speaker 1>backs into the sun. If he doesn't come through in

1:28:30.479 --> 1:28:33.000
<v Speaker 1>this game, it seems like a very good opportunity for him.
