15
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,720

18
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: we'll answer three tough questions and we'll even jump into

19
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: a time machine to identify the players. Everybody's gonna be

20
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: trying to pick up next week, but as it turns out,

21
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: he's already on your team because you've been in the

22
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: time machine. I'm gonna run our time machine that sound

23
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: effect into the ground. That's a good time machine sound effect.

24
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: Thank you, Brian. We weren't sure for a while. Our

25
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 1: our time machine went blamo. But really time that doesn't

26
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: it's not a very I could have just done the

27
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: dude dude from Wayne's World or the doctor who yeah, right,

28
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: the doctor who won. It's grating, the doctor who want

29
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: not of the sound. David, I'm a I'm a fan

30
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: of David Tennant, who's not good to really like the

31
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: news for sure. Let's start with Patrick Mahomes. Guys, we

32
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: believe that he's gonna miss three ish games, but maybe

33
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: it extends out to the bye week, which had been five.

34
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: So there's you know, there's a little bit of wheel

35
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: room on on what this means. Week twelve is Kansas

36
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: City's by Week twelve is there by? You know, I think,

37
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: you know, we don't know if they would necessarily be

38
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: rushing him back. They brought it back before the bye

39
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: but you know a lot of teams used that by

40
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: to just get to one, and I wouldn't be surprised

41
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 1: if they did that here. Now that said, so they're

42
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: five and two, that they got the Packers and Vikings

43
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:23,399
Speaker 1: coming out. Packers and Vice could be rough with Matt

44
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: Moore in there, they could be. Um, those are two

45
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: good past defenses that would make things tough, no matter

46
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: I think, No matter what. I'm just trying to think

47
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: of their their record and their playoff chances and hopes. Yeah,

48
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: which is important in this right. You know, when you're

49
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: secure in your record in your playoff hopes, it's a

50
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: lot easier to bench your quarterback longer their division sucks,

51
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: that helps. Yeah, So that's that's what might be the

52
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: second best team in that division. Right, That's it's come

53
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: to this for the poor Chargers. So all the injuries

54
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: all right, so let's start here for the games he's out,

55
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 1: is Tyreek Hill and automatic start? Yes or no? Without

56
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: Patrick and assuming Matt Moore's at the helmet, I think

57
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: because it's a short enough of injury, I dont think

58
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna make a move at quarterback. He's so explosive.

59
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: I would have a hard time giving him less than

60
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: the sea on this show. He's still had a fifty

61
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: seven year touchdown with more in last night. Um, but

62
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: I think I think he's still an automatic start, because

63
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: these next few weeks are so bye week written and

64
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: there's so many injuries. I have trouble believing you're gonna

65
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: bend him. Okay, even with more same thing with Kelsey, right,

66
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: even even with Kelsey, where you're still you're there's just

67
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,080
Speaker 1: no there's just no good tight end. However, you'd be

68
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: picking up to replace Kelsey can't possibly be better than

69
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: Kelsey with Matt Moore, and so he's going to be

70
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: in back the hill very quickly. They're probably gonna get

71
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: creative in ways of getting him the ball to putting

72
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: the ball in his hands, you know, yeah, maybe, yeah.

73
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: You know we've seen him more on Jet Steep Hill

74
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: a lot and do some other things right, and Andy

75
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: Reids brilliant. Uh, the running game to me is a

76
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:54,559
Speaker 1: real question mark here. It was already a very inconsistent

77
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: running game. And now when you take the threat of

78
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: the pass away and what Patrick Mahomes did to open

79
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: up the fee old. Um, I don't know that I'm

80
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: going to be starting or giving a starting grade to

81
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: McCoy or Williams anytime soon. I barely could anyway. That

82
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: was with Mahomes, right, not chance. Okay, so I think

83
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: we're in agreement on McCoy is gonna have to face Miami,

84
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: which they don't until I believe weeks seventeen again, right,

85
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: so yeah, and then any other wide receiver, whether it's

86
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: even a healthy Sammy Watkins, it's all matchup dependent at

87
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: this point. Are you dropping without more dropped Sammy Watkins? Yes? No,

88
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: probably it depends on the scenario, of course, right, he

89
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: is droppable, but circumstances he's absolutely droppable, you know, to

90
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 1: be factor in the in the always inconsistency, that inconsistent

91
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: that comes with Sammy Watkins, in with his own injury,

92
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 1: Mahomes injury. He's out, He's dead to us right now.

93
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: Let me give you this one. You're an owner scenario.

94
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: You're an owner with Patrick Mahomes and your sub five hundred?

95
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: Are you pushing? Are you trading him away to a

96
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: playoff bound team? I can see that move, I can

97
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: see that movie. I can too. Yeah, because you you need,

98
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: you need the help. Probably it's your stuffy Miami and

99
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: they don't, and they and Mahomes owners aren't necessarily above

100
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 1: five hundred this year. This is not like last year

101
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: where you if you have the homes, you're almost automatically

102
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: over five hundred. If you are above five hundred, I think,

103
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: and you've got my homes, you just hold steady and

104
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 1: you don't panic, and you just you just wait this

105
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: thing out to be able to help you. Yeah, you've

106
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 1: got an angle for premature speculation later on in this show.

107
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: All right, So there's there's the I think, the quick

108
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: breakdown and on how how we feel about the homes

109
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: and all the other things related to the Chiefs. And

110
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: it's a really tough break from Thursday night, but um,

111
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: it could have been far far worse. Assuming things hold

112
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: as expected. Let's jump into the matchups, beginning with the

113
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams taking on the Atlanta Falcons and what

114
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: should be a point fest for everybody who started Jared

115
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: Goff last week. Uh, you know you're feeling awfully burned.

116
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 1: But Scott here comes what should be the cure in

117
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: the form of the Falcons. Yeah. He he did not

118
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: look good last week. I think seventy eight passing yards

119
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: if I remember correctly. Over the last four games, qps

120
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: are averaging three hundred and twenty five yards and three

121
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: in a quarter touchdowns against the Atlanta Falcons. Um, so

122
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: I am starting. I'm starting golf here just based on matchup,

123
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: even though it's a road game. Golf doesn't usually play

124
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: well in road games, but this is a road game.

125
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: I'm willing to take the chance. Uh. So I do

126
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 1: have an A grade on golf. It's just the Atlanta

127
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: Falcons defenses is where I I line up that up

128
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: with cano Neel out there, they're even worse for Cooper Cup,

129
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 1: his main guy in A grade. He had a bad

130
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: week last week, but he had four straight hundred yard

131
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: games before that. I think he gets back to where

132
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 1: he was there. Um, he's a guy that's played. Uh.

133
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 1: He leads to the team with sixty nine targets. By

134
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: the way, Brian, now you're sleeping nice. Over the last

135
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 1: three weeks, the Falcons are allowing the most yards, touchdowns,

136
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: and third most receptions to wide receivers. So I have

137
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: all their wide receivers starting. I have a B grade

138
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: on Cooks because deep speed guys like uh like will following.

139
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: Even demire Bird had a fifty eight yard cat last week.

140
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, do you speed guys can exploit Atlanta? So

141
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: I got a B grade on Cooks and see has

142
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: been a little disappoint What has been a little disappointing

143
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: this year no touchdowns. That's more than a little disappointed. Actly,

144
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: So I'm giving him a C grade just because the

145
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: matchup is good enough. You should probably still start him.

146
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: Have the tight ends on the bench. Gerald Everett. I

147
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: know you had that hundred thirty six yard day the

148
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: other day, but in his last ten games, he has

149
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: that game and then he has a hundred forty six

150
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: total yards, and so him and Hagbee are on the bench. Todd.

151
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: This is where it gets thorny here. If Todd Gurley goes,

152
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: it looks like he's gonna go. I expect him. I

153
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: expect them to only play him if he's healthy, and

154
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: if he's healthy, he's gonna get like the Snaps giving

155
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: him a B grade, and I'm benching the other two.

156
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: If he does not go, I'm I'm giving both Brown

157
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: and Henderson a C grade because I think they will

158
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: have seen in the last game how much more explosive

159
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: Henderson looked, and they'll give him a better split. Brown

160
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: is more of the goal line guy and the two

161
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: down guy, but Henderson can break off a big one

162
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: against Atlanta's defense. I'm giving them both Sea grades if

163
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: Gurley doesn't go. If Gurley goes, I'm throwing him on

164
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: the bench over to the Atlanta side. We we kind

165
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: of mentioned that this is the highest over under of

166
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: the week, fifty four point over under by Vegas. They

167
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: expect a lot of points scoring and Matt Ryan leads

168
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: the NFL and pass attempts three d plus yards in

169
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 1: every game, multiple touchdowns in all but one game. Take

170
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: away that defensive battle against the four nine ers. They're

171
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: just really good. Jalen Ramsey might be able to shut

172
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: down Julio, but we got tight end one Austin Hooper

173
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: and Calvin Ridley and Jalen Ramsey gonna play every play.

174
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: So he's been on the team for six days days.

175
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: The only scenario I can see them playing having him

176
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: play extended is if they say, just go sit on

177
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: Julio Jones like he any cornerback can go out there

178
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: and just play man, you know, So maybe that's what happens.

179
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: If he does play. Julio and him have no previous history.

180
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: I'm still giving Julio and a Well, we'll talk about

181
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: this later, I know, actually no, we won't talk about

182
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: this later, but with how much is Ryan Ryan is throwing,

183
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: Julio is a stafe option even against Jams. Jalen Ramsey

184
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: wide receiver is the one area the Rams aren't being

185
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: dealt death blows. Uh, only four top sixty five yards

186
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: all year. But that was Godwin Evans, D J. Moore

187
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: and Michael Thomas conversation. So I'm still giving Julio good

188
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: grade here, really a B grade scored in four of

189
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: his last six. With how high scoring this game is,

190
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: I think that it's very likely he gets in the

191
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: end zone again here. Uh, Snow, I'm putting on the

192
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: bench slot guys have not done well against the Rams,

193
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: and Snoo has been a little inconsistent. Austin Hooper, we

194
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: mentioned he's tight end one right now. Yes, he might

195
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: be the highest scoring on many leagues. He's the highest

196
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: scoring tight end, and I think he's unvengeable. Yeah, six

197
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: catches at least six catches in four straight Kittle went

198
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: for one oh three against this Rams team, dis Lee

199
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: for eight one. Hooper a grade. Uh. In the running

200
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,120
Speaker 1: game demands Freeman, I'm giving a B grade two. He

201
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: has at least nineteen touches and three last four Atlanta

202
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: has allowed seven touchdowns to running backs in six games,

203
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: and five of the six starting running backs to face

204
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: them scored. So I think there's a there's a good

205
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: line here for Freeman. Okay, Uh, that was a that

206
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: was a thorny matchup. There was a lot of guys

207
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 1: to get through. With all the question marks at the

208
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 1: Rams running back situation, I know that that was particularly tricky. One.

209
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: Let's go to green Bay taking on Oakland, Brian all

210
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: three of the green Bay Packers wide receivers starting receivers

211
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: may miss this game. Yeah, well, let's get through the

212
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: green Bay side. Uh after Oakland Oaklands on the road. Here,

213
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,599
Speaker 1: Let's start with Josh Jacobs um and give him a b.

214
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: Green Bay allowing nearly five yards for carry, I surrendered

215
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: the most rushing touchdowns and running backs. The one concerned

216
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: with Jacobs is the game script flips to the past

217
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,120
Speaker 1: and it's not all but guaranteed he gets the passing

218
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: work out of the backfield. He did see a season

219
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 1: high three targets after John Gruden said they wanted to

220
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: get him more involved in the passing game, but that's

221
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: really only concerned with Jacobs. Also, his left tackle Trent

222
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: Brown is questionable with the cab injury, might miss this,

223
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: but you're starting Jacob's either way. Definitely starting Darren Waller.

224
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: Even in a tough matchup. The Packers have allowed the

225
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,439
Speaker 1: fifth views receiving arts the tight ends only one tight

226
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 1: end as top thirty seven yards and that was zach Ertz.

227
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: Waller is working his way into that tier uh and

228
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: green Bay will be without free safety Darnell Savage, so

229
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: Waller is safe be here. Tyrol Williams is out, so

230
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: he's definitely on your bench. I'm not going to advocate

231
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: for hunter Renfro or the newly acquired Za Jones from

232
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: Buffalo there on the bench as well, and so is

233
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 1: Derek Carr. Even the legendary Darren Waller cannot carry car

234
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: to fantasy relevance over to the green Bay side. Aaron

235
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: Jones gets a sea so much with the bell cow status.

236
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: Lost a fumble last week, dropped a touchdown, got out

237
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 1: snapped by Jamal Williams. Warning nine percent outtouched fifteen to eighteen.

238
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: And this is not a good matchup, believe it or not.

239
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: According to Football Outsiders, Oakland has ranked sixth against the run,

240
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: and over their last two games they've held Marlon Mack

241
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: and David Montgomery to a combined sixty four yards on

242
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: twenty two carries on the ground. Uh. So Jamal Williams,

243
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: I think he got to give him a sea here. Um.

244
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: As you already mentioned Charch and I'm gonna talk about more.

245
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 1: The Packers are basically out of wide receivers, so Williams

246
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: could have an expanded role coming off arguably the best

247
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: game of his career. And Tariko and in ninety Mins

248
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: each had six receptions against Oakland over their last two games.

249
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: So Williams is a factor in PPR. Davante Adams not

250
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: gonna factor. Most likely he's doubtful with that toe injury.

251
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: He's not gonna go. Jerome Geronimo Allison and Mark Kee's

252
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: of all this scantling both on the wrong side of

253
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: questionable as well as they don't go. That leaves Alan

254
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: Lazard and Jake Kumero and Darius Shephard. Uh. Lazard had

255
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 1: four catches for sixty five yards in a touchtown the

256
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: quote unquote comeback win on My Day football. Uh and

257
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: his target total quote matched that of Kumarro and Shepard combined.

258
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,319
Speaker 1: So I'll give Lazard the sea here. He was might

259
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: take a chance on me runner up at wide receiver,

260
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 1: but did not make the cut. I'm actually a little

261
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: shocked that you, with your revenge game and birthday game,

262
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: didn't even mention that they picked up Ryan Grant this

263
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: week who played for Oakland. That maybe it's some midside.

264
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 1: Isn't his birthday too? If if it was, then I

265
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: give him an a who is not getting as Jimmy Graham.

266
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 1: And this is it for Jimmy Graham. If he does

267
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 1: not douce here, he is his fantasy relevance is dead.

268
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: He should be dropped in every league and never added again.

269
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: Oakland allowing sixty yards per game to tight ends. They've

270
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: allowed three scores to the position over their last four.

271
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 1: So if Graham doesn't do anything here, cut ties entirely

272
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: for eternity, and Aaron Rodgers just gonna get a sea

273
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: here has a ragtag crew receivers. Uh, it's still Aaron

274
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: Rodgers at home. Though Oakland has ranked against the past

275
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: by Football Outsiders, they've allowed multip touchdown passes and three

276
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: of five the two quarterbacks who failed to do so

277
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: or Joe Flacco and then Kirk Cousins in a blowout

278
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: win soft. It is a soft see no minus minus.

279
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. You go back twelve games. Aaron Rodgers

280
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: is barely a touchdown per game, barely a touchdown per game,

281
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: and you take his number one, number two, number three

282
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: receivers off the field, and then Jimmy Graham's on the field.

283
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: Those are that's four pretty big strikes against you. I

284
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: don't know. I can't, I can't advocate starting. There will

285

Speaker 1: much last week? Maybe not? Well, we'll do better this week,

307
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: beginning at the quarterback position and Brian Johnson, who you got?

308
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: I got Indies? Jacoby Brissette at home versus versus the Texans. Uh.

309
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: The Texans have partaken in some point orgies over the

310
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. Their offense is red hot, and

311
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: so the over under a forty seven and a half

312
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: is very enticing for this game and for the record, UH.

313
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: These teams totaled a hundred and sixteen points across their

314
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: two regular season games last year, so they like to

315
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 1: run up the score. UH. Jacoby is playing great football.

316
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,239
Speaker 1: He is one of ten quarterbacks with double digit touchdowns

317
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: UH this season. But he's the only one of those

318
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: ten quarterbacks who have his bye week, so he's ahead

319
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: of the pace right now. And Houston owns the second

320
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: highest opponent passing play percentage at precisely, precisely sixty eight

321
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: point zero one percent. Obviously, I'm gonna round that up

322
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: to uh, anyone want to throw in a nice there, fish,

323
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,880
Speaker 1: you're sleeping at the handle. Very nice, not very nice

324
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: at all. And really the text and secondary is not good.

325
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: If they've allowed multiple passing touchdowns and three of their

326
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: last four Kyle Allen was the one quarterback that failed

327
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: to throw multiple pat touchdown passes. Starting corners Bradley Roby

328
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: and Jonathan Joseph are battling injuries, limited in practice all

329
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: week and lastly presented sixth among quarterbacks and rushing attempts.

330
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 1: And although Houston hasn't truly been tested by mobile quarterback

331
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: this year, they did surrender fifty six rushing yards of

332
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: Gardner Minshew on six carries, and Matt Ryan rushed for

333
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: a touchdown a couple of weeks ago. Well that's it

334
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: for the segment that is the longest ever. Take a

335
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: chance on me, read out a lot. I don't even

336
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 1: remember we're talking about anymore, alright, are we redoing it then,

337
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: Who wasn't Jacoby proct Jacoby Prissette. Good heavens man, alright, jeez,

338
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 1: let me do that one more time. I'll help you charge.

339
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, Let's we'll zip these along. Good

340
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: heavens Scott, You're take a chance to be quarterback? Is

341
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 1: I got Daniel Jones? Uh? He? He looked bad over

342
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 1: the last few weeks. Not bad, but two yards and

343
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: only three touchdowns over the last two weeks. But the

344
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: Cards are the worst NFL against fantasy quarterbacks. Multiple passing

345
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: touchdowns in all but one game, third, most passing yards,

346
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: have not intercepted a pass yet this year. But wait,

347
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson's back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Patrick Peterson is back.

348
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 1: But I think it's still gonna be okay for Daniel Jones.

349
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: Second most passing touchdowns allowed the Cardinals. Cardinals, it's it's

350
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a good matchup. I've got Gardner Minshew

351
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: going up against the Bengals. Bengals are gonna be without

352
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: both starting cornerbacks in this game, Drake Kirkpatrick and William Jackson,

353
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: and the Bengals will let you beat them on the

354
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: ground and through the air. Kyler Murray ninety three rushing

355
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: yards in a rushing score. Lamar Jackson hundred fifty two

356
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: rushing yards and a rushing score against the Bengals. And

357
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: then you can pass on them as well. We saw

358
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo with his only three touchdown game of the year,

359
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph through to Gardner Minshew by ground and by air.

360
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 1: He's fleeting foot, you know, not by sea. Well, I'd

361
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: like to see it happen. It could happen. He could

362
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 1: get a C grade. And then how about that. Okay,

363
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: it comes around there, Brian, who is you take a

364
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: chance of me? Running back Phillies Miles Sanders at the Cowboys.

365
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: This matchup sets up nicely on paper for Sanders, who

366
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: has established himself as the clear pass catching back over

367
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: their last two games. Here's Phillies target distribution among the

368
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: running backs. Eight for Sanders, one for Darren Sprawls, who's

369
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 1: not going to play in this game most likely, and

370
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: then that's the end of the list. No one else

371
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: has a target among running backs. So the Cowboys are

372
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: second in targets and red zone targets yielded to running backs.

373
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 1: They're also second and catches allowed to opposing running backs

374
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: allowing seven catches and fifty yards per game to the position,

375
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: and Sanders should see more than the three carries he

376
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 1: received in last week's lopside had lost in Minnesota. His

377
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 1: carry totals in the previous games are nine, eleven, thirteen, ten,

378
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 1: and eleven. So h Sanders is a solid PPR play

379
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: this week. Alright, I see. I thought you were going

380
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: to go smartass on me and give me like a

381
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 1: one sentence rationale for Sanders. No, not the case. Scott

382
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: needs more than that. He deserves more than that. He needs.

383
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: He needs Scott, You're take a chance for me? Running

384
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 1: back is the guy I love this week. I'm going

385
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: I gotta go with my guy. We talked about him

386
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: in January. I've been liking this guy since way before

387
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: the pre draft processing. Devin Singletary. You remember back a

388
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: few weeks ago when I take home Tony Pollard against

389
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: the Dolphins as a second running back and he had

390
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 1: a hundred plus in a touchdown. Well, that is Devin Singletary.

391
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 1: This week, he gets those same Miami Dolphins who have

392
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 1: allowed the most rush attempts, rush yards, receiving yards, total

393
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: yards and receiving touchdowns to running backs. Get this, He's

394
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: only rushed the ball ten times this season. He's healthy

395
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 1: again now. By the way, ten times this season seven yards,

396
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: that's twelve point seven yards per tempt. Seven of them, yes,

397
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 1: seven of them went for twelve yards or more. Three

398
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: of them went for over twenty yards. For reference, Christian

399
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: McCaffrey only has three rushes over twenty yards and Devin

400
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 1: Singletary did it in ten attempts. Give him ten to

401
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: twelve touches in this one against the Dolphins. He's gonna

402
00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 1: play for you. He's going to play, and I love him.

403
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 1: There's week I've got Matt Breda, who granted is he's

404
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,399
Speaker 1: already rostered on a lot of teams, and I realized that,

405
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: and so it's more just get him off your bench

406
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 1: in this game against Washington. And yes, Tevin Coleman will

407
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: get we'll get probably a little bit more work and

408
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 1: probably get the goal line carries, but still plenty to

409
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: go along around here. And and by the way, Matt

410
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: Breed is a lot better then Kevin Coleman. He's just better.

411
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: He's just a better at the two backs. He goes

412
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: up against the Redskins defense that has allowed the seventh

413
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: most fantasy points to running backs. They've allowed six scores

414
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: two runners in their last five games for rank first

415
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 1: in run ratio. First. There's gonna be plenty of action here.

416
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 1: Matt Breed is gonna get paid in this one. Let's

417
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 1: go to the receiver position, Brian, you got all right.

418
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 1: Here's a guy who's probably not on anybody's teams, but

419
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: that should change. Uh. That is Dallas's Cedric Wilson going

420
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: up against the al right, Amari Cooper very unlikely to play.

421
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: We'll talk about this matchup more later on Randall Cobb

422
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:00,240
Speaker 1: also unlikely to play, but he's a slot receivers. Drick

423
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: Wilson's an outside guy, a sixth round rookie UH six three,

424
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: as well as good big body if he draws the start,

425
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,640
Speaker 1: arguably walking into the most cake matchup for wide receivers.

426
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: This year, Philly has allowed the most wide receiver touchdowns.

427
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: Six different wide receivers have topped one hundred yards against

428
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Already, Philly has yielded the third most red

429
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: zone targets and the second most red zone touches to

430
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,959
Speaker 1: opposing wide receivers, and when Cooper went down, it was Wilson,

431
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: who came in with five catches for forty eight yards

432
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: against the Jets. He looked like the next guy up,

433
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,399
Speaker 1: Fire him up. If Mari is out, you know that's

434
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: a good chance he is Scott. You'll take a chance

435
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 1: to the receiver. I'm going with Jamison Crowder. He has

436
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 1: twenty six targets in the two games with Donald, resulting

437
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: in twenty catches and nearly a hundred yards in each game.

438
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: Golden take Cole Beasley, Jujudmith, Schuster all had three Hall

439
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: had decent days against the Patriots growing up against Jonathan

440
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: Joseph or Jonathan Jones. In fact, those are the three

441
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 1: best wide receiver days against the Patriots this year. Uh

442
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: if if crowd is gonna be a lock for eight, nine,

443
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 1: ten to which he usually is, which he usually is,

444
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: he is he has been this year. Uh, he's going

445
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: to get a C grade for me and a take

446
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: come take on play and available in most leagues. I'm

447
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: sure I don't want to brag, but if you go

448
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: back to Week one, I called Chris Conley's only good

449
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: game of the year, and I'm doing it again calling

450
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: my shot and Chris Conley, despite his zero catch performance

451
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 1: last week. He's actually the team leader. He by the

452
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 1: way he plays for the Jaguars. If you're not even

453
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: sure he's your starting receiver opposite DJ Chark, he's the

454
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: team leader in snaps ahead of d J Chark. He

455
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 1: goes up against the Bengals, already already told you I

456
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: love Gardner Minshew. I told you that without their starting cornerbacks,

457
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 1: to tell you their backups are. The cornerbacks are gonna

458
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: start for the Bengals. Tony McCrae and Tory mc flat tire. Now,

459
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: how bad are they? Tony McCrae rays as cornerback by

460
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus, and Tory mcflat tire was cut by

461
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. When you're so bad that the Dolphins kick

462
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: you to the curb, you don't belong in the NFL.

463
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: I got a nickname for Tony better than make flat tire. Well,

464
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 1: no that no McCray, Tony mcmccray up, McClay up. It's

465
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: a clay up to start somebody against him, like Chris Conley.

466
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: I'm listening to that sort of not my best work.

467
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: It was, it was improblem it was improvised. You know

468
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 1: you're working, you're you're working, your material right now in

469
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: real time on the air. Let's work in one matchup.

470
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: Miami takes on the Buffalo Bills and Scott you already

471
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: told us some of the players on the Bills side

472
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: that we like in this one. But let's go to

473
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: the Miami side. Buffalo's defense is so much better than

474
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: people realize. I've got to believe this is like a

475
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 1: zero starter. There's not a starter, especially with well I

476
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: shouldn't I'm sorry, but even with ste Beard coming in,

477
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: there's not not a start. It's not happening. Just White

478
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 1: is gonna knock out either Devontae Parker or Preston Williams

479
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 1: that they can they can cover him, no problem, start,

480
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: no one here, so real quick. Sorry. The Dolphins give

481
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: Ryan Tanneinghill like seven years to try and to become

482
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: something and Josh Rosen gets three starts and then they

483
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: kick him to the her. Maybe they're just trying to

484
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 1: not wreck Rosen. No, I'm serious. I'm kind of serious

485
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: about that. I think they might be benching him out

486
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,959
Speaker 1: of mercy for his career. Yeah, he's had he's had

487
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 1: a rough go, a lot of a lot of situations.

488
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 1: On the other side, though, Josh Allen just to smash

489
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: a start here against the Miami Dolphins, second worst against quarterbacks.

490
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 1: Alan has multiple passing touchdowns in five last six, but

491
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: get this last year against Miami nine rushing and nine

492
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: for and two rushing two touchdowns. Those are some big

493
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: rushing days. He also threw two and three touchdown passes

494
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: in those games, respectively. It's just a great matchup for him.

495
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 1: Already mentioned Singletary love him as a tay com I

496
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 1: even like I even like bore Gore. Bore Gore has

497
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: sixteen or more touches in every game since Week one.

498
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: Running Backs with at least fourteen touches against Miami average

499
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,119
Speaker 1: ten total yards. What do you think the touch the

500
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: carry distribution will be between Singletary and Gore and this

501
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 1: juicy matchup with Miami. This is a team I think

502
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,879
Speaker 1: runs the ball thirty plus times in this game, so

503
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 1: I'm not too worried about it. You think it's I

504
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 1: think it's probably more likely an eighteen twelve type of

505
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: Gore to Singletary thing. But onto the wide receivers, I

506
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 1: think Brown can have a decent day here. No Bills

507
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 1: receiver has top seventy five yards since Week two that's

508
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: a little rough. With Duke Williams coming in last week,

509
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,200
Speaker 1: Brown still remained the guy, so I think he has

510
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: some options here against a week Miami defense. But the

511
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: other guys, Beasley, Duke Williams, I can't trust them yet.

512
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 1: I'm mentioning all of them all right, Um, I don't

513
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: play this. It's start all. It's basically as simple as this,

514
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: start all your all your bills, Ben. Yeah. Well, and

515
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: oddly there are there are a few of the matter.

516
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:14,800

00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,760

Speaker 1: of keep the five thing going, but it doesn't always

Speaker 1: on all major podcasting platforms, including the number one destination

537
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: for podcasts, the radio app. Vikings take on the Lions.

538
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: For the Viking side, you want to watch the status

539
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: of left tackle Riley Reef, who comes into this one

540
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 1: is a probable game time decision um obviously if he

541
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: is not able to go, all the Vikings take a

542
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: bit of a step backwards here. Dalvin Cook is an

543
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: obviously regardless, He's got a lifetime average of six yards

544
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 1: per carry against Detroit. There's nothing, There's no part of

545
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 1: Detroit that's going to dissuade you from starting him. And

546
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: I'm not going to ease an obvious a grade. As

547
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: for the passing game, I've got B grades beginning with

548
00:29:09,160 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins left for dead as recently as two weeks ago,

549
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: has another good opportunity against the Lions. Now, I know

550
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: the Lions held Patrick Mahomes scoreless in Week four, and

551
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: so there's a temptation to think they're better than they are,

552
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: but they're mostly the middle of the pack defense. They

553
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: can be beaten. Four of the five passers they've faced

554
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: have top two hundred eighty yards. Three of the five

555
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:34,560
Speaker 1: have thrown multiple touchdown passes. With the Lions unable to

556
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 1: generate much of a pass rush, they've got just ten

557
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: sacks on the whole season. By the way, what what

558
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: How many sacks did Denver allowed? Seven just on Thursday night?

559
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: I think so, yeah, nine times? I thought was it?

560
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: In fact, I believe it wasn't nine times? And I

561
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: guess maybe I just may I lost it. After after

562
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 1: seven you start to lose track. I think Cousins should

563
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 1: be comfortable in the pocket, which has been the case

564
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: for two straight weeks. His Cousins played at a high level,

565
00:30:05,120 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: and that's really the whole bit on Cousins startable when

566
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: he's comfortable in the pocket. So there you go, and

567
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 1: Adam thelands his number one target, who also gets a

568
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,719
Speaker 1: B grade. He runs out of the slot more than

569
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: any other Viking receiver and that gives him the most

570
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: favorable matchup on the field. Every single wide receiver touchdown

571
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: the Lions have given up has come from the slot,

572
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:29,120
Speaker 1: including Alan Lizard mentioned last segment out of the slot.

573
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: Theeland's track record, I'll mention though in this matchup is spotty.

574
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 1: In ten matchups with the Lions, He's only scored one time. Nevertheless,

575
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: I like the match up here. He will avoid the

576
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: slag ride that Stefon Diggs will suffer, and that's why

577
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: Digs is a C grade even after the big game

578
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: last week. Darius Slay is great. He's only allowing forty

579
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,480
Speaker 1: one yards per game now. No, as I mentioned, no

580
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: outside receivers scored on the Lions all years, so there's

581
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: that as well. But let's watch Darius Slays hamstring injury

582
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: for any reason. Slay can't go screen light on Stefon Digg,

583
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: so uh Slay is dealing with that injury. Will watch him.

584
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Lion side, beginning with krry On

585
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 1: Johnson in the midst of a disappointing season, and I

586
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: in all fairness. I was. I thought he was sitting

587
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: on a much better season that he's had so far,

588
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 1: and it just has not worked out. Johnson is just

589
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: one game of more than fifty rushing yards. He's put

590
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: up a dismal thirty eight yard performance in his one

591
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: game against the Vikings last year. Minnesota's allowed just four

592
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: rushing scores to backs in their last twelve road games.

593
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: The Vikings are a good road run defense as well.

594
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: It's there's nothing to like here there the Vikings giving

595
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 1: up just three point yards per carry. I've got a

596
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: C grade on carry and Johnson most just mostly just

597
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: due to volume. Honestly, he should be in the twenty

598
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: ish Carrie range and that's the only reason that he

599
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: still gets a C grade. Let's go to the passing game.

600
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,160
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford's last two games featured zero touchdown passes and

601
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 1: sixteen yards and one yard. That's it. No bad uh.

602
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: Minnesota has held him to zero or one touchdowns in

603
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: four of his last five meetings. So and what else

604
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 1: is hurting staff At his low volume, He's averaging only

605
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: thirty one passes per game, and since the overtime game

606
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 1: and the opener. Since then, thirty one passes per game.

607
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: It's just enough, just not enough passes to get much done.

608
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: So just the C grade on Matthew Stafford here. Even

609
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: if you got to start a receiver, the only one

610
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: I like particularly is Kenny Golladay. She has been absolutely

611
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:32,080
Speaker 1: matchup proof this year. One receiving yards and or a

612
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: touchdown in four of five games. For Golliday, I think

613
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: you have to temper your expectations because he's never exceeded

614
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: sixty one yards or scored against the Vikings. Ever, he's

615
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: gonna draw Xavier Rhodes for most of this game. Rhodes

616
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: has played better than the last few games, so I'm

617
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,960
Speaker 1: nervous about Holiday here. But a B grade just on

618
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: talent and because he's been so productive this year. After

619
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: him and the only other guy that gets a starting

620
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 1: grade is t J. Hockenson. Tight ends are averaging eleve

621
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: ben targets per game against the Vikings. And get this,

622
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: over the last two weeks the Vikings have given have

623
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: tight ends against the Vikings have been targeted twenty nine

624
00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: times and they've caught twenty nine passes. That's unbelievable. The

625
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: Vikings have allowed the fifth most yards to tight ends

626
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: but have yet to UH yet to surrender a touchdown.

627
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: So I've got a C grade on t J Hockenson

628
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: in this one. Marvin Jonson's on the bench. He's he

629
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: has been Fantasy irrelevant, and I don't like his matchup

630
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: against Trey Waynes. Let's go to our next matchup, Houston

631
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: taking on Indianapolis. Brian uh. This is a Houston team

632
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 1: that has got people very frustrated and flummixed with their

633
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: wide receivers, Will Fuller and DeAndre Hopkins. How do you

634
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: feel about the passing game in this one in particular?

635
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,840
Speaker 1: Before we get into that, it's worth noting these teams

636
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: played three times last year, the two regular season meetings

637
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: and then in the in the playoffs. Okay, so I

638
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 1: I get the feeling there's some good historic data. There

639
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 1: is some good historic data here. We'll start with the

640
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: wide receivers that you alluded to. DeAndre Hopkins. He gotta

641
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: keep riding him. As frustrating as it's been, I'm gonna

642
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: give him an a here. He scored in both the

643
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: regular seasons and games last year against UH Indie, but

644
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,399
Speaker 1: he was held under forty yards in the playoff game

645
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: with no touchdown. And in the Week thirteen game. But

646
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 1: the very comparable number one receivers like Keenan Allen Julio

647
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: Jones both top two hundred tony yards and scored a

648
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: touchdown against the Colts this year. So just continue to

649
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: give Hopkins the a treatment and everything will work out fine,

650
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,600
Speaker 1: I promise. Uh if it will. Fuller could give a

651
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: b here. Uh. The Colts will be without starting safety

652
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 1: Malik Hooker, who was the quarterback of their secondary. Fuller

653
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: was only healthy for the first meeting between these teams

654
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: last year. He did have four catches for forty nine

655
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown, and the Colts have allowed at

656
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: least seventy five yards to two wide receivers on the

657
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: same team in two of their last three games. So

658
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:49,960
Speaker 1: fire up Hopkins and Fuller, maybe even Kiki Cuti. Cutie

659
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 1: played in two of the three games last year, the

660
00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 1: Week four game and then the playoff games, so he

661
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 1: kind of book ended the matchups. His lines were eleven

662
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: catches for a hundred and ten yards in a touchdown

663
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 1: and eleven catch is for a hundred and nine yards.

664
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: Eleven catches are a lock, but you just kidding. Kenny

665
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,560
Speaker 1: Stills might make his return to that really muddies those waters.

666
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,479
Speaker 1: If Stills comes back, cut end still is on the bench.

667
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: If Stills is out, will give QTI the sea here

668
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 1: and the tight ends are worth talking about in Houston

669
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,399
Speaker 1: for once. How about the Houston tight end. Houston has

670
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: the most tight ends in football right now, most total

671
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: tighten most total that could be true, but the most

672
00:35:26,200 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: total tight end touchdowns. Okay, touchdown, that's a mouthful. They're

673
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 1: also top eight and tight end yards. Uh. Darren Fells

674
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:36,919
Speaker 1: and Jordan Aikins have both been producing as of late,

675
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: but Fells has been the alpha dog. Over the last

676
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 1: four games. He has six catches for sixty nine nice yards,

677
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: then two catches for twenty yards and two touchdowns. He

678
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 1: did have one dud in the span with one catch

679
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:49,879
Speaker 1: for twelve yards, but then uh, the fourth game five

680
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: catches for forty nine yards and a touchdown, and opposing

681
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: tight ends are averaging nine targets, six plus catches and

682
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: sixty seven yards against the Colts with three total touchdowns.

683
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 1: So Darren Fells gets a starting grade with the Sea

684
00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 1: here and Deshaun Watson, I'm just gonna give him an

685
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: a not get into that at all. He's in an

686
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 1: elite spot here. Over the Colt side, Marlon Mack can

687
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,720
Speaker 1: give him a B. Had been nursing an ankle injury,

688
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: but should be fully healthy coming off the bye week

689
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 1: for the Colts. Houston has surrendered the most receptions running

690
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 1: backs this season as well. Nine Hines could steal some

691
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: of that work, but Mac does get third down work,

692
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,280
Speaker 1: and for what it's worth, he scored a rushing touchdown

693
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 1: in all three meetings with the Texans last year. Who

694
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:29,759
Speaker 1: has scored a lot of touchdowns against the Texans in

695
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 1: his career is t Y Hilton. He's my number one

696
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: wide receiver play this week. Yeah, I'm just gonna say

697
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 1: his lines in the three games UH from last year.

698
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,800
Speaker 1: In previous years he'd be putting up like two hundred

699
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 1: yards and three touchdowns in some of these games. The

700
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:47,280
Speaker 1: last year five for eighty five, nine hundred and fifteen.

701
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: Very safe floor, very high ceiling. There have been five

702
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: players that have seen seven plus targets UH, five wide

703
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 1: receivers and he seven plus targets against the Texans this year.

704
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: They've combined to average eight catches for a hundred and

705
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 1: six yards and six total touchdowns. Those five wide receivers.

706
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: Hilton's gonna see seven plus targets in this game. I

707
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: brought it out Paris Campbell, Dion Kane, Zach Pascal. One

708
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 1: of these guys is going to produce, but I don't

709
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 1: know which, so that's impossible to decode. So they're all

710
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: on the bench, so is Eric Ebron and Jack Doyle.

711
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: I would go Doyle if I had to pick one,

712
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: but this is just a bad matchup. Doyles on the

713
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: field like three quarters of the play, and you know,

714
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: for Ebron, you if you don't get the touchdown, you

715
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 1: get nothing, and you can't trust him to catch the ball.

716
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: Houston has surrendered the fourth viewest yards at tight ends

717
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: zero touchdowns to the position. They're both easily on the bench,

718
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: but I did have Jacobe said it's might take a

719
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 1: chance to me quarterback. I think t Y Hilton has

720
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:43,959
Speaker 1: enough to carry him to two touchdowns probably. I love Hilton,

721
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: by the way, good trade candidate as well, because that

722
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 1: nagging injury really suppressed a lot of his value, and

723
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: then you sort of forget about a guy. In the

724
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 1: bye week, it's a good time to buy on t

725
00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: Y Hilton. Jacksonville takes on Cincinnati and I've already I've

726
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: already talked to fair amount about to the Jacksonville see

727
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 1: because I love Gardner Minshew. Who's might take a chance

728
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,479
Speaker 1: of me? Quarterback? By the way on that Yeah, Carl

729
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:08,359
Speaker 1: Lawson and Carlos Downe that both likely to miss as well.

730
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:12,360
Speaker 1: So who's gonna be rushing Minshew? Nobody? It's it's crazy,

731
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,720
Speaker 1: you know we talked earlier. Drake Kirkpatrick is out starting cornerback.

732
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 1: The other starting quarterback, William Jackson out. They're gonna be

733
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: starting Tony McCrae and Tory mctire. D J Chark A

734
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: grade for d J h R. This feels like a

735
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: fantastic opportunity for him against that injury plague secondary and

736
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,280
Speaker 1: obviously he's been very good in every game until last week,

737
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 1: so he's he's gotten a grade. Chris Conley was might

738
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 1: take a chance of me wide receiver with a C grade,

739
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: let's go to you know he's on the bench. I

740
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:43,800
Speaker 1: found it. I found a Jaguar de bench d D

741
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:49,439
Speaker 1: Westbrook five straight games. Thought a score heavy dud opportunity here,

742
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 1: even with with Kirkpatrick and Jackson out, those guys are

743
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: outside cornerbacks and Westbrook runs from the slot where he

744
00:38:55,719 --> 00:39:00,959
Speaker 1: gets solid slot cornerback B W. Webb. You know that's

745
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: just that's the path of most resistance goes through D. D. Westbrook.

746
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 1: People always talk about the path of least resistance. Nobody

747
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:11,359
Speaker 1: wants to talk about the path of most resistance. That's

748
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,120
Speaker 1: D D. Westbrook, who's on the bench. Let's go to

749
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: Leo Fournette. Bengals allowing the second most yards and the

750
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: most touchdowns to opposing running backs on the ground. For

751
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: Nott has got at least four receptions in five or

752
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: six games, and Cincinnati is allowing the fifth most receptions

753
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,920
Speaker 1: and the second most yards and touchdowns to opposing receiving backs.

754
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: It's an awesome, awesome start for Leonard four Net wouldn't

755
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 1: be surprised if he finishes the day as the highest

756
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 1: scoring fantasy running back. Let's go to the Cincinnati side.

757
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:42,440
Speaker 1: I've only got two starters for you. One of them

758
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: is Joe Mixon. Now mixing is only really to this point,

759
00:39:47,160 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 1: He's only been capable of generating a decent fantasy game

760
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:56,240
Speaker 1: against the worst defenses in the league. Guess what Jacksonville

761
00:39:56,360 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: kind of qualifies. They're giving up the fifth most rushing yards,

762
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:05,360
Speaker 1: the second most yards per carry five point four yards

763
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: per carry for Jacksonville. Maybe Derrick Henry broke them the

764
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 1: end of last year. Maybe that's maybe that's dead. So

765
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,839
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon startable here. I've got a B grade on him.

766
00:40:15,200 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 1: Jack again, Jaguars defense, it's not it's not that your

767
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: father's knowledge. It's not only you could have a one

768
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 1: year old and pointing go him. It's not his. It's

769
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 1: not Jags defense that recovered every single fumble. They can

770
00:40:27,600 --> 00:40:30,440
Speaker 1: remember that. Uh. The only other starting grade I've got

771
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: his Tyler Boyd, who has now seen seven or fewer

772
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 1: targets and two of his last three games, Jacksonville hasn't

773
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: allowed a score to an imposing receiver in their last

774
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 1: two games, and They're only glaring weakness is cornerback Trey Herndon,

775
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 1: who Boyd won't see. Unfortunately, he's gonna see d J. Hayden,

776
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: who yielded three catches for sixteen scoreless yards over the

777
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,800
Speaker 1: last two weeks. I know it's all bad news on Boyd,

778
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 1: but I think he's the only quasi startable guy out

779
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 1: of all of this. Because I can't start Audent Tate

780
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 1: and I'm not starting alex ericson either. In fact, forget it,

781
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,680
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd's going on the bench to the whole passing

782
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,399
Speaker 1: offenses on the bench. Dalton's had three good Fantasy games

783
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: and three bad Fantasy games. This one leads towards bad

784
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: even without Jalen Ramsey, and people will be like, oh,

785
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: thout Jalen Ramsey. We can do whatever we want on

786
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 1: that defense. No you can't. It's still gonna be a

787
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:16,480
Speaker 1: tricky matchup, and I don't trust the wobbly offense in Cincinnati.

788
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: Take advantage. I know a lot of people are enamored

789
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: with Audent Tate finally uh, finally producing. Yeah, that's right.

790
00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 1: Tell people about this the I love this bit. The

791
00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: scientific notation for gold is AU and Auden Tate with

792
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 1: if we switched the AU to gold would be Golden Tate,

793
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: Golden Tate tated Tates in the league. I noticed that

794
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:44,120
Speaker 1: this week and I'm like, what, that's unbelievable. A J.

795
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:48,160
Speaker 1: Bouye probably hammers him. So that's probably the end of that. Um,

796
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: we've got one matchup left for this segment, Arizona taking

797
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: on the Giants. We've got three minutes. I think you

798
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: can do it. Scott. Okay, let's do it. I'm gonna

799
00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with the home team here, taking Jones

800
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 1: as my take. M So don't even talk about him.

801
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:08,360
Speaker 1: Golden Tate, as we just mentioned to another, is not

802
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: going to get Patrick Peterson as in the later years.

803
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson has not moved into this lot quite as much.

804
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 1: I think he's going to avoid him, and he might

805
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:20,560
Speaker 1: be c startable here against the Arizona Cardinals. That that

806
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 1: might be where Jones gets some of his yardage. Uh.

807
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 1: The other wide receivers though, no thanks, just Slayton Shepherd,

808
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: none of them. Don't don't see other Shepherd by the way,

809
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: not Sterling, yes, Sterling, Darius Shepherd. The rookie Evan Ingram

810
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:36,919
Speaker 1: a grade. As everyone said in the Giant's bad tight

811
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 1: end here death taxes and tight ends against Arizona Cardinals.

812
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: I forgot crushed but didn't do anything but against them.

813
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:47,280
Speaker 1: But Evan is much better. Barkley's in a grade hundred

814
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 1: thirty seven total yards in each of his first two

815
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: full games that he played this year. Uh. Joneses mobility

816
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:55,200
Speaker 1: should open things up a little more for Barkley here

817
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 1: as well. A grade there on the Arizona side given

818
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: an A to Murray. I'm glad he's finally regressing back

819
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:04,319
Speaker 1: to the met with those touchdowns. He was the first

820
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 1: quarterback to have yards passing and two hundred yards rushing

821
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 1: in NFL history. The taildowns were coming. He only had

822
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,160
Speaker 1: four touchdowns his first five games. They were gonna come,

823
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: and I'm glad they come. Three hundred plus yards allowed

824
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: by the Giants to four of the six q bs

825
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,720
Speaker 1: they faced, second most passing yards allowed on the season,

826
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: and Murray's averaging forty attempts per game in the fastest

827
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: paced offense. He's gonna rack up points. So his main man,

828
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: his his safety blanket. Larry Fitzgerald. I'm giving him a

829
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 1: B grade here. I kind of want to give him

830
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 1: an A grade here, but he hasn't had like super

831
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 1: A grade numbers this season. Uh, he's right on that border.

832
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 1: Five catches bench in the rest of the wide receivers,

833
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 1: David Johnson. I do like against the Giants, who have

834
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 1: allowed the fourth most total yards to running backs, Chase Edmonds,

835
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:55,399
Speaker 1: maybe a sneakers sneaky yeah, eighteen touches and the last

836
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: two games, if he can get you ten touches. This

837
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,200
Speaker 1: is a defense he can pop off, you know when

838
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 1: a locked times they break David Johnson out as a

839
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 1: wide receiver and Chase Edmonds loan back and then they

840
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,560
Speaker 1: will hand them the ball. They'll throw to Chase Edmonds.

841
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 1: He's finding ways to get involved all the time. Eight

842
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 1: targets per game over the last four Yeah, that's unbelievable.

843
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 1: Coming up next, we'll answer three tough questions. You can

844
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: play along, try to go a perfect three and oh.

845
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:23,360
Speaker 1: Three tough questions coming up next on Fantasy Football Weekly.

846
00:44:41,920 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 1: It's Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm I'll Chart she In from

847
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:49,480
Speaker 1: fanball dot Com. Scott Fish and Brian Johnson comprised my

848
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: panel of experts for this segment. You are a panel

849
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 1: of two. I'm not on the panel. I'm I'm asking

850
00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 1: the questions. Three tough questions. Is there a minimum requirement

851
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,880
Speaker 1: a panel? Is its time compliance? I don't think it is. Actually,

852
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: I exist at least three Yeah, yeah, it's something like that. Uh,

853
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:10,880
Speaker 1: it's time to get into the grinder. Three tough questions.

854
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,120
Speaker 1: Listeners play along see if you can go three and

855
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 1: oh as his tradition. Question one inexplicably DeAndre Hopkins is

856
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 1: on a five game scoreless streak, and Houston has proven

857
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 1: it doesn't need Hopkins touchdowns to win games for the

858
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 1: rest of the season. Will DeAndre Hopkins production remain as

859
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 1: it is currently, will it improve slightly or will it

860
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: improve dramatically? You'll notice I'm not saying you're even giving

861
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 1: you a worse from than here scenario in this or

862
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:48,440
Speaker 1: remains steady, improves slightly, or improved dramatically. Brian all Right.

863
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 1: DeAndre Hopkins is currently eleventh in air yards and airy

864
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 1: yards measures how far football travels to the receiver, whether

865
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: he catches it or not. You know, it measures opportunity essentially,

866
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 1: so he's eleventh in air yards last he finished third

867
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,880
Speaker 1: right now, Hopkins is a target share Last year he

868
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 1: led the league at thirty two. Of course, those numbers

869
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:10,280
Speaker 1: are propped up by Will Fuller going down with injury.

870
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 1: Will Fuller is healthy right now, and will Fuller has

871
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:18,360
Speaker 1: more air yards, yards and touchdowns than Hopkins. There's clearly

872
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:22,280
Speaker 1: a direct correlation with the downtick in production for Hopkins,

873
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: who is on pace for a hundred and six yards

874
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:26,880
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, hundred and six catches. That's on par for

875
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: what you'd expect from him, but only one thousand, seventy

876
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,839
Speaker 1: two yards and five touchdowns right now is what he's

877
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 1: on pace four. I do think those totals will improve,

878
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:39,840
Speaker 1: but just slightly. Mines. Will Fuller stays healthy, proved slightly, Scott.

879
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:44,399
Speaker 1: I think it's actually gonna improve dramatically. Remember Julio last year,

880
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 1: no touchdowns in the first seven games. Not he did

881
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:52,840
Speaker 1: in his next twelve games twelve touchdowns. Positive regression is

882
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: coming in this one. The Houston tight ends are scoring

883
00:46:56,200 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 1: at a probably unsustainable rate right now. I think they

884
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 1: have five or six, so those touchdowns, I don't know

885
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:06,120
Speaker 1: that I see that happening much longer. And I'm doing

886
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 1: a quick check here as I look, but yeah, I

887
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:14,280
Speaker 1: don't think that. Nope, Kiki qt, Will Filler and Kenny

888
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:18,719
Speaker 1: Stills have never had a full healthy season combined at all,

889
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 1: so has only been in like two years constantly out. Yeah,

890
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:27,240
Speaker 1: so will Fuller has been healthy. But does he stay healthy?

891
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 1: That that might be the question. I think it improves

892
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 1: dramatically though. I think he's He's getting the opportunity. It's

893
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 1: just those touchdowns are going to tight ends and stuff.

894
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 1: It's gonna come. It's funny you use the exact same

895
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 1: phrasing that I have on the first bullet point of

896
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 1: the correct answer. Positive regression coming for Hopkins Since his

897
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 1: rookie year, He's only had one five game dry spell

898
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 1: like this one, and it took brick Osweiler to do

899
00:47:53,480 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: it to him. To say that DeAndre uh to say that, sorry, um,

900
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson is better than brick Oswiler is an understatement, right.

901
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:07,879
Speaker 1: His quarterback is terrific. He's played, Hopkins is playing nine

902
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:11,760
Speaker 1: percent of the team snaps, he's a fifth in the NFL,

903
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: and targets and will Fuller's drops. I wonder if will

904
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 1: Fuller's drops won't be sitting in the back of Watson's

905
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 1: minds and in mind and then you know he doesn't

906
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,680
Speaker 1: end up throwing even a couple more over to Hopkins side,

907
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 1: I believe the dramatic improvement is coming. Tough question number two.

908
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:36,720
Speaker 1: Thanks apart to his rushing prows, Tom Brady has posted

909
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:40,880
Speaker 1: solid fantasy numbers in five of six games for the

910
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:45,319
Speaker 1: rest of the season. Will Brady improve, hold steady, or

911
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:49,879
Speaker 1: decline in fantasy production? Scott Okay, First, though a crack

912
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 1: something last segment, uh Stills did have a healthy season,

913
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 1: but five of his other injured, so you did have

914
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 1: a healthy one there. Uh me, Okay. Tom Brady is

915
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 1: currently QB eight. All five of the games you just

916
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 1: mentioned top bottom ten past defenses, three of them just terrible. Washington, Miami,

917
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 1: and the Giants. That's said, he gets possible shootouts with

918
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, Ravens, and Texans. I can see those being shootouts.

919
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: He's got nice matchups against the Bengals and Eagles. He

920
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 1: gets the Bills in championship game weeks week sixteen for

921
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 1: US at least, um, I'll be playing Week sixteen. Yeah, yeah,

922
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 1: for US at least, That's what I'm saying, not but

923
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 1: Miami games in week seventeen, which which kind of stinks.

924
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 1: But uh, looking at the schedule, I think he stays

925
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 1: pretty steady with with this production. I think he finishes

926
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 1: the top twelve quarterback. Brian. I think it's going to

927
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 1: improve because I just look at the schedule and it's

928
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 1: riddled with cupcake opponents. This is the easiest schedule for

929
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 1: eight defending Super Bowl champion, easily in history. I mean,

930
00:49:57,320 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 1: we all you know, they played Washington, Miami, the Giants,

931
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 1: some other JV teams. Looking forward, the Jets this week,

932
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 1: the Browns, who are not good still, the Ravens their

933
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:10,439
Speaker 1: secondaries and shambles. Then the Eagles, they have the worst

934
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: secondary in the NFL. Yeah, the Cowboys their entire secondaries

935
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 1: pretty much hurt right now, the Texans one of the

936
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,400
Speaker 1: worst secondaries of the NFL. It never ends. Then the

937
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 1: Chiefs probably shoot up. Mahomes will be healthy by then,

938
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 1: then the Bengals. But then it ends in week sixteen

939
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:28,160
Speaker 1: where you can't play bread against the Bills. But that

940
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:31,440
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. He's going to improve and I hate so

941
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:34,839
Speaker 1: we basically said the same thing in different orders. I'm

942
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:36,840
Speaker 1: gonna mention, well, other thing that you guys didn't hit on,

943
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: and you're right, he's going to improve on where he

944
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 1: is now. And he's already been good. But again, the rushing,

945
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 1: the receivers, all of his receivers can get better. They

946
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:50,720
Speaker 1: all have room to improve. Josh Gordon, Philip Dorset, Julian Edelman,

947
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about Nikkill Harry a little later in

948
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:55,239
Speaker 1: the show. They all have room to get better. They've

949
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: all been just okay fantasy performers. They can all get better. So, yes,

950
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 1: Tom Brady will improve in the second half of the season.

951
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:07,879
Speaker 1: Tough question number three. Over the past two weeks, Kirk

952
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:11,239
Speaker 1: Cousins has been a top five ish fantasy quarterback. Have

953
00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 1: the Vikings cracked the code to unlock his fantasy upside

954
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:17,439
Speaker 1: or is he more likely to return to the guy

955
00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:20,800
Speaker 1: we're used to seeing Over his previous games with the Vikings,

956
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 1: Brian so Cousins had thirty seven pass attempts to start

957
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 1: the season first three weeks. Thirty seven pass attempts three games.

958
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:36,080
Speaker 1: Of course, he didn't post any real numbers during that span. Yeah,

959
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 1: that must be completing. It's otherwise, it's only that's only

960
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 1: twelve and I think I think he was. That's gotta

961
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:51,720
Speaker 1: it's gotta be because it's still he's couldn't attempt attempts

962
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 1: per game on average. He needs to attempt to weigh

963
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: more passes than that. Okay. And in the games coming up,

964
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 1: there's some game scripts that get flipped pretty quick with

965
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 1: that good Vikings defense and some piss poor opponents, uh,

966
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:09,680
Speaker 1: mainly the Redskins. The Chiefs are probably gonna be without

967
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:13,440
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes uh. And then the Broncos are coming up

968
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:15,800
Speaker 1: outside of this week's matchup with Detroit, and then the

969
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 1: bye week. That's enough for me to already say we're

970
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 1: gonna see more of the cousins we saw earlier in

971
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 1: the season and not in the last two weeks. It's

972
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 1: he's very matchup dependent, and uh, I don't see very

973
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:26,839
Speaker 1: good matchups on the rise, and they don't come till

974
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:28,319
Speaker 1: well later in the season. I don't even want to

975
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 1: contemplate Kirk that late in season. So uh, more likely

976
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 1: to return to thee all right, thinks I hate that

977
00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:37,040
Speaker 1: you don't have a middle option. No, this is a

978
00:52:37,080 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 1: binary one. This is this is up or down. It's

979
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 1: very annoying because I think he's gonna land in the middle.

980
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 1: He's not going to go back to averaging thirteen Fantasy

981
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:48,479
Speaker 1: points per game, and he's not going to be twenty five.

982
00:52:48,600 --> 00:52:51,400
Speaker 1: He's gonna be like seventeen or eighteen. He's right in

983
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:53,400
Speaker 1: the frigging middle. So you got but you gotta pick

984
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:56,480
Speaker 1: one or the other. He is he going to retain

985
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:00,959
Speaker 1: Is he going to retain the up? He's not gonna

986
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 1: He's not going to retain what he did against the

987
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:06,960
Speaker 1: freaking Eagles and the Giants. So you think he's more

988
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:09,839
Speaker 1: likely to return to the guy he was he's more

989
00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:12,440
Speaker 1: likely to even though I have faith that they have

990
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:15,279
Speaker 1: figured out that he needs to throw the ball more

991
00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:17,920
Speaker 1: and feed his receivers more and make it a more balanced,

992
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 1: not run every play offense. But if I had to

993
00:53:22,080 --> 00:53:24,839
Speaker 1: choose one of the two, he's probably going to drop off.

994
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 1: The real question that we're actually asking with this is

995
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:33,839
Speaker 1: can the Vikings offensive line continue to give Kirk reasonable

996
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:37,280
Speaker 1: pass protection as they've done the last two weeks, because

997
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:40,800
Speaker 1: that is why Kirk has has played so well. That's

998
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 1: the reason. So I analyzed the remaining schedule and get

999
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:50,360
Speaker 1: a load of this for the Vikings amazingly favorable against

1000
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 1: pass rushing defenses. Of the nine remaining opponents, six of

1001
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 1: them ranked twenty third or worse in pass rush by

1002
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 1: Pro Football folk is none of the remaining Vikings opponents

1003
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 1: rank higher than ninth in pass rush. Kirk Cousins is

1004
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 1: going to continue to get time behind this now, at

1005
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: least through two games improved offensive line, and if that's

1006
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 1: the case, we're going to get the kinds of numbers

1007
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:18,759
Speaker 1: from Kirk Cousins that we were getting when he was

1008
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 1: with Washington, which is the Kirk Cousins the Vikings thought

1009
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:26,439
Speaker 1: they were getting I think he's back. Let's sneak that's true.

1010
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 1: Let's let's sneak in one more matchup, Chargers taking on

1011
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: a Tennessee Brian. It's been a reck at a lot

1012
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 1: of positions for the Chargers all season long, numerous players

1013
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:39,319
Speaker 1: disappointing across the board. What do you think is coming

1014
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:41,320
Speaker 1: up in this one? And a tough matchup with Tennessee?

1015
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:45,839
Speaker 1: Is there anybody you particularly like? Not really? Now, let's

1016
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:47,359
Speaker 1: start with the running game, and it is a tough

1017
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 1: matchup for both running backs. Melvin Gordon snap percentage went

1018
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:53,760
Speaker 1: up to six last week, up from the week before.

1019
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:57,440
Speaker 1: He outtouched Austin ekel Even to eight as well. That

1020
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 1: delta will probably widen this week. But I'm only giving

1021
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:02,560
Speaker 1: him a CE here. Over Tennessee's last four games, no

1022
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 1: starting running back has seen more than fifteen carries or

1023
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 1: top seventy yards. Austin Ekeler, I'm still going to give

1024
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:12,399
Speaker 1: him a C. Only eight carries combined over the last

1025
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:15,239
Speaker 1: two weeks, and the return of Hunter Henry probably hurts

1026
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 1: his receiving prospects a little bit, but the Titans are

1027
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 1: allowing more than six and a half receptions per game

1028
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 1: to running backs, and there's still some hope that head

1029
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:26,839
Speaker 1: coach Anthony Lynn realizes that Heckler is the better back

1030
00:55:26,880 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 1: on roster right now and gives them more touches because

1031
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:31,520
Speaker 1: it's been a disaster since Melvin Gordon and came back,

1032
00:55:32,040 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 1: you know, but the offensive line has also been, you know,

1033
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:37,399
Speaker 1: a disaster to now. Russell Kun could come back this game,

1034
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:40,680
Speaker 1: I don't know yet, and maybe first almost certainly the

1035
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:42,920
Speaker 1: next one that will help a ton. Yeah, definitely. I

1036
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 1: was gonna mention that when I talked. But let's go

1037
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,719
Speaker 1: over to Hunter Henry. Henry ran thirty seven pass routes

1038
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:51,759
Speaker 1: in his return from injury last How impressive is that

1039
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:55,440
Speaker 1: That's the most routes he's runs in September? Makes no

1040
00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:58,520
Speaker 1: sense and he obviously blew up how many benches did

1041
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:02,680
Speaker 1: he stay on last week? And people, I'm raising my

1042
00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:04,959
Speaker 1: hand right now. No one can see me except you guys.

1043
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 1: But this is a neutral matchup. At worst. Tennessee is

1044
00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 1: allowing a modest four catches forty six yards per game

1045
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 1: to tight ends, but they have surrendered the second most

1046
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:16,520
Speaker 1: scores to the position Hunter Henry and easy A in

1047
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:19,360
Speaker 1: the tight end Wasteland Keenan Allen. This is not a

1048
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:21,440
Speaker 1: good matchup for him, just to see. He's been out

1049
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 1: targeted seventeen to thirty by Mike Williams by over the

1050
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 1: last three weeks, and he's yeah, I don't know. He's

1051
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 1: gonna draw Logan Ryan, who was one of the rare

1052
00:56:30,440 --> 00:56:33,239
Speaker 1: slot stoppers in this league. It's a brutal matchup for Keenan,

1053
00:56:33,280 --> 00:56:35,319
Speaker 1: but you cannot bench him. Uh. He gets to see

1054
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 1: and so does Mike Williams. He leads the NFL and

1055
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:41,279
Speaker 1: air yards over the last two weeks with a whopping seven,

1056
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 1: so the opportunity for big games has been there. I

1057
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 1: don't like his prospects for a big game and this one.

1058
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:50,319
Speaker 1: Tennessee has only allowed one total wide receiver touchdown over

1059
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:53,680
Speaker 1: their last three games, and they've limited outside receivers like

1060
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:58,040
Speaker 1: Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, John Brown, and Courtland Sutton to

1061
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:01,279
Speaker 1: be collective sixteen catches among those four players. So I'm

1062
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:03,160
Speaker 1: not liking Tends this week. Still gonna give him a

1063
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:05,759
Speaker 1: see though, but you know what, I'm benching Philip Rivers.

1064
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,640
Speaker 1: The Titans have generated the sixth most sacks and allowed

1065
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:12,760
Speaker 1: the sixth sixth fewest passing yards per game while surrendering

1066
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 1: just eight passing touchdowns. Even though Rivers has a safe floor,

1067
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:17,720
Speaker 1: I'd take any of our take a chance on me

1068
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:21,320
Speaker 1: quarterbacks over Rivers against Tennessee this week over to the

1069
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 1: Titan side. You gonna give Derrick Henry and a Henry

1070
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 1: has at least one hundred combo yards and doory touchdown

1071
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 1: in seventh straight home games. The Chargers do not present

1072
00:57:29,640 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 1: much of a threat against the run, as they are

1073
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 1: ranked twenty seven by Football Outsiders. Uh Dion Lewis, Uh No,

1074
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna talk about Dean Lewis. Sorry, Finally, you're

1075
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 1: gonna not talk about Lois? How many times you get

1076
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 1: burned on that wasting time solid five PPR points? Might

1077
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:47,919
Speaker 1: take a chance some running back last. Do not wake

1078
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 1: up the peacock for that one Delaney Walker. He might

1079
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 1: as well not wake up on Sunday either. I'm gonna

1080
00:57:52,840 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 1: keep him on the bench. He might be out. He

1081
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 1: did not practice today. You'd be better if he's out.

1082
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:01,200
Speaker 1: Don't play John Newson. If that's the case. The Charges

1083
00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 1: have only allowed six tight end receptions over the last

1084
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:06,400
Speaker 1: three games. Uh. Delaney looks like he's cooked too. By

1085
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 1: the way, it's kind of said after a hot start,

1086
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 1: he hasn't done anything since the opener. Corey Davis A J.

1087
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,720
Speaker 1: Brown easily on the bench, and there's no easier bench

1088
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:17,320
Speaker 1: than Ryan Tannehill. There is no easier bench, well except

1089
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:23,440
Speaker 1: for Marcus Mariota, who's ben bench. Yeah. Absolutely again it's uh,

Speaker 1: will look through a few more matchups, including San Francisco

1104
00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:14,120
Speaker 1: taking on Washington. You know you love the San Francisco Runners.

1105
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 1: What about the San Francisco passing game. We'll tell you

1106
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 1: what to do when we come back. Welcome back Fantasy

1107
00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 1: Football Weekly. We've got a big block o matchups for you,

1108
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 1: beginning with San Francisco taking on Washington. We start on

1109
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 1: the San Francisco side. Already told you how much I

1110
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:50,840
Speaker 1: love Matt Breta. He was gonna take a chance of

1111
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 1: me running back, which, really, if I'm being honest, he's

1112
00:59:54,080 --> 00:59:55,880
Speaker 1: a little He's way too good to be a take

1113
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 1: a chance of me running back. But part of it

1114
00:59:57,880 --> 00:59:59,760
Speaker 1: is I just I love talking about Matt brit Becus.

1115
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:02,800
Speaker 1: I think you such a good player. Tevin Coleman gets

1116
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:05,440
Speaker 1: an A grade in this game. He put up a

1117
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 1: season high one hundred fifty six total yards and two

1118
01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 1: scores at FedEx Field last season when he was with Atlanta,

1119
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,440
Speaker 1: and he was no good last season with Atlanta, and

1120
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:17,440
Speaker 1: he still put up hundred fifty six against the Redskins.

1121
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:20,360
Speaker 1: He faces a Redskins defense that has allowed the seventh

1122
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:23,840
Speaker 1: most Fantasy points to backs. They have allowed six backs

1123
01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 1: to score in five games, and the forty Niners lead

1124
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 1: the league in run ratio. So you know Coleman's gonna

1125
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 1: get fed a lot. And by the way, Brita has

1126
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 1: zero carries inside the five yard line. Coleman already has

1127
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 1: four and he's only played for what like five quarters

1128
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 1: of football or something like that. Now he's probably up

1129
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 1: to what nine something like that. So yeah, Coleman's in

1130
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:50,440
Speaker 1: an obvious a let's go do the passing game. Jimmy

1131
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:53,400
Speaker 1: Garoppolo gets a B grade here. The problem is he's

1132
01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 1: just not throwing the ball, and his low volume just

1133
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:59,480
Speaker 1: isn't producing fantasy points. Garoppolo is allowing the Garoppolos throwing

1134
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 1: the third fewest passes because his defense whenever game scriptics like,

1135
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:06,280
Speaker 1: the defense shuts everybody down and then they just go

1136
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:08,640
Speaker 1: run their way to victory, so they don't need him

1137
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:11,760
Speaker 1: to pass. Now, there is some upside against the Redskins.

1138
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:15,680
Speaker 1: Washington has been busy surrendering the ninth most passing yards

1139
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:20,640
Speaker 1: and the third most passing touchdowns, including four different three

1140
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:25,200
Speaker 1: touchdown games. So I've still got to be greater a

1141
01:01:25,240 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 1: Garoppolo just because Washington's so bad that they he may

1142
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:29,920
Speaker 1: still find his way to a very good game and

1143
01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:32,439
Speaker 1: they could still run the ball well. So that means

1144
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 1: I must like George Kittle, who gets an A grade.

1145
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 1: Washington is an average tight end defense. They held Evan

1146
01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:41,560
Speaker 1: Ingram and zach Ertz to the exact same fifty four

1147
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:44,560
Speaker 1: scoreless yards. The Kittle doesn't have a single game with

1148
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:47,360
Speaker 1: less than fifty four yards, and he's been targeted eight

1149
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 1: or more times in every game but one. So we

1150
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:52,480
Speaker 1: love Kittle. Dan. That brings us to the wide receivers,

1151
01:01:52,520 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 1: and you can't start any of them, whether it's Goodwin

1152
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:59,160
Speaker 1: or Samuel or Pettis, They're all languishing with so little

1153
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 1: volume that just can't be trusted. Get this, between Goodwin, Samuel,

1154
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:07,960
Speaker 1: and Pettis combined, none of them have a five catch

1155
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 1: game in any game combined. They have one game between

1156
01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:19,680
Speaker 1: them with passing yards. That's just that's terrible. So they're

1157
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:21,600
Speaker 1: out there on the bench. Let's go to Washington, where

1158
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 1: everybody's on the bench. I will I will say, just

1159
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:27,000
Speaker 1: for Marquow that's side of the field that he plays on.

1160
01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:31,440
Speaker 1: Washington's allowed ten touchdowns this year, which, by the way,

1161
01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 1: that's Josh. Now, before you bench everyone on Washington, can

1162
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 1: I at least inform you that Sunday is Chris Thompson's

1163
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 1: actual birthday. Does that? Does that move the needle? I

1164
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:46,520
Speaker 1: will move him to a bench bench. Plus, there are

1165
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:50,280
Speaker 1: no pluses. I can't and I love Chris Thompson, but

1166
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:53,120
Speaker 1: I can't do it. This is an elite level defense.

1167
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 1: Needless to say, the Niners have not allowed running back

1168
01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 1: to score ground or air. No back has carried it

1169
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 1: more in sixteen times against them. And Bill Kellen can

1170
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:06,600
Speaker 1: talk all he wants about establishing a new running game

1171
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 1: and you can do it against Miami like he did

1172
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 1: last week. Yeah, it ends here. Do not chase Adrian

1173
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:13,840
Speaker 1: Peterson's game from last week. He's on the bench. Terry

1174
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:16,040
Speaker 1: McLaren might be the only gather guy you're tempted with,

1175
01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:19,000
Speaker 1: but you can't go there either. The Forts are allowing

1176
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:22,240
Speaker 1: the fewest passing yards per game, and in the last

1177
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:28,919
Speaker 1: two weeks, Baker Mayfield and Jared Goff combined for one

1178
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 1: hundred seventy nine passing yards. Think about that. To NFL

1179
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:39,439
Speaker 1: quarterbacks combining for one hundred seventy nine passing yards, that's

1180
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:44,880
Speaker 1: like three or four combined. McLaren has got tough matchups

1181
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:47,320
Speaker 1: all over the field. There's nowhere for him to line

1182
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:48,960
Speaker 1: up on the field to avoid it. He is on

1183
01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:51,600
Speaker 1: the bench. Let's go to our next matchup New Orleans

1184
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:55,720
Speaker 1: taking on Chicago. Scott, I think the Saints are fools

1185
01:03:56,040 --> 01:03:58,920
Speaker 1: if they run Camara on a high ankle spring in

1186
01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:01,920
Speaker 1: Chicago the bye week. Loom yep I agree, and I

1187
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:03,800
Speaker 1: don't think he plays. That's why I'm leaving him on

1188
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:06,160
Speaker 1: the bench. I just don't think it's gonna happen even

1189
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 1: if he's active. I think he's super dangerous. Higael Springs

1190
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 1: Ranger all the time, yep I, I would not be

1191
01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 1: playing tomorrow this week, especially against this Bears defense. Uh.

1192
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 1: Latavious Murray, I think it is a little sneaky just

1193
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 1: because he might get the volume. I am giving him

1194
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:23,880
Speaker 1: a C grade. He turned his eleven touches into seventy

1195
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:27,400
Speaker 1: nine yards last week. He's caught some passes recently. Josh

1196
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 1: Jacobs had a day after Kiem Hicks left after eight snaps,

1197
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs had a hundred twenty six yards against his team. Uh.

1198
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:37,000
Speaker 1: They've allowed a hundred total yards to the lead running

1199
01:04:37,040 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 1: back in three the last four, which is kind of surprising.

1200
01:04:40,400 --> 01:04:43,160
Speaker 1: Another stat in the passing game, this is really surprising

1201
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:45,439
Speaker 1: as well. As I was doing my research this week,

1202
01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:48,920
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears have allowed the most completed passes in

1203
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:55,680
Speaker 1: the NFL this year. What it's all dinking dunk stuff

1204
01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:58,840
Speaker 1: and they've had they've had their by to, which makes

1205
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:01,960
Speaker 1: even more incredible. It's a per game basis, but that's no,

1206
01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 1: it's it's unreal to me, which is perfect for Teddy

1207
01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:10,840
Speaker 1: Bridgewaters dick and dark style, but he's still benchable. You

1208
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:14,040
Speaker 1: shouldn't be starting Teddy Bridgewater. UM lack of yards, lack

1209
01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:17,360
Speaker 1: of touchdowns make Bridgewater a bad start, but it's gonna

1210
01:05:17,400 --> 01:05:19,640
Speaker 1: be good for Michael Thomas. He's just gonna soak up

1211
01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:22,560
Speaker 1: a bunch of short catches and PPR. He's well worth it.

1212
01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:26,000
Speaker 1: He's caught twenty eight of the thirty four Teddy targets

1213
01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:30,480
Speaker 1: over the last three weeks. Expected Teddy targets like it.

1214
01:05:31,240 --> 01:05:33,360
Speaker 1: I wrote it. When I wrote it, I thought the

1215
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:37,000
Speaker 1: same thing. It sounds cute. Ted gains on the bench

1216
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:40,320
Speaker 1: though UM wide receivers not wearing number thirteen for the

1217
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:43,080
Speaker 1: Saints have not topped thirty six yards in a game yet,

1218
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:48,400
Speaker 1: which is crazy under Teddy, which is crazy. UM cook

1219
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:53,960
Speaker 1: a C grade. I guess I don't know. Now I'm

1220
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:57,800
Speaker 1: gonna bench him the Bears have only allowed one touchdown

1221
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 1: this year. I thought, maybe in this terrible land escape,

1222
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:02,360
Speaker 1: maybe I can get No, I can't do it. I

1223
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:04,760
Speaker 1: can't do it. Over to the Bear's side, Trabisky looks

1224
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:07,640
Speaker 1: like he's gonna start, which is a downgrade for the

1225
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 1: entire Bears offense in my opinion. Um, I'm not joking.

1226
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:15,479
Speaker 1: Over the last calendar year, Trabinsky has average eighteen yards

1227
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:19,560
Speaker 1: per game. That's fourteen games. He had a hundred sixty

1228
01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:24,280
Speaker 1: five or fewer in five of them. Chise Daniel in

1229
01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:26,040
Speaker 1: the last couple of years hasn't had a game under

1230
01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 1: two thirty one. I mean, I think it's a downgrade.

1231
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:31,880
Speaker 1: I legitimately think it's a downgrade. Latimer started the season bad,

1232
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:35,040
Speaker 1: but over the last three weeks he's allowing twenty eight

1233
01:06:35,160 --> 01:06:37,240
Speaker 1: yards per game in his coverage and faced some really

1234
01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:41,480
Speaker 1: good in there. Yeah, I'm benching Allen Robinson. I'm benching

1235
01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:45,560
Speaker 1: Anthony Miller, who's who's just too inconsistent. And Mitch Robinsky

1236
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:48,240
Speaker 1: has had two wide receivers have double digit Fantasy points

1237
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:52,080
Speaker 1: in the same game twice in his entire career, So

1238
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 1: never start a second wide receiver for them. Tight ends

1239
01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:57,120
Speaker 1: are on the bench. Cohen is on the bench with

1240
01:06:57,240 --> 01:07:00,560
Speaker 1: his seven touches per game against a top and a

1241
01:07:00,800 --> 01:07:04,560
Speaker 1: top five run dye against running backs. Montgomery, you're also

1242
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:06,960
Speaker 1: staying on the bench against the bad defense, against the

1243
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 1: defense that's going to hold him down. So frustrating with David.

1244
01:07:09,600 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 1: What's happened with David Montgomery the going I could just

1245
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:14,880
Speaker 1: had all the Bears on the bench, really, but I

1246
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:17,640
Speaker 1: went through it for I wanted to rip on Robisky

1247
01:07:17,720 --> 01:07:21,760
Speaker 1: for a moment. With p J. Williams, the slot cornerback

1248
01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:24,240
Speaker 1: out this week or expected to not play, I thought that,

1249
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:27,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's like maybe Anthony Miller. They never throwed

1250
01:07:27,120 --> 01:07:30,600
Speaker 1: Anthony Miller ever, He's so invisible in that offense, and

1251
01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:35,360
Speaker 1: he was such a promising young player too, very very weird. Um,

1252
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:39,480
Speaker 1: We've got one more matchup, and that is Philadelphia taking

1253
01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:42,320
Speaker 1: on the Dallas Cowboys. When we're matchup in this segment,

1254
01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:45,800
Speaker 1: that's a Sunday night game, Philadelphia coming off a tough

1255
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:48,480
Speaker 1: game in Minnesota, now they go to Dallas. What do

1256
01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:51,520
Speaker 1: you think about the passing game, in particular for Carson

1257
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:54,920
Speaker 1: Wentz in this matchup against the Cowboys. I'm liking Carson

1258
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:56,720
Speaker 1: Wentz this Sunday night. I'm gonna give him an A.

1259
01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:59,800
Speaker 1: Dallas likely we'll be missing two starting cornerbacks Byron Jones

1260
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:02,080
Speaker 1: and Anthony Brown. Earlier in the year. It looks like

1261
01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:04,400
Speaker 1: the Cowboys were a tough matchup on paper, but they

1262
01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 1: were primarily facing paper quarterbacks like Eli Manning, case Keenum,

1263
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:11,800
Speaker 1: Josh Rose, and Teddy Bridgewater. Dallas was exposed big time

1264
01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:14,600
Speaker 1: by Sam Donald last week. Look for Wins to continue

1265
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:17,200
Speaker 1: to crush the Cowboys. He totaled five touchdowns and nearly

1266
01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:20,400
Speaker 1: six hundred yards in their two meetings last year. Alishan

1267
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:23,360
Speaker 1: Jeffrey gets an a as well. Just mentioned the injuries

1268
01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:25,639
Speaker 1: at corner for Dallas, and look with the Jets wide

1269
01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:28,400
Speaker 1: receivers did to the Cowboys last week. They totaled six

1270
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:31,960
Speaker 1: team catches for two nine yards in a touchdown. So

1271
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:35,160
Speaker 1: alshon Jeffrey fire him up with an A. De Shawn

1272
01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:39,880
Speaker 1: Jackson sadly is out. I believe that's official. You can

1273
01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:43,040
Speaker 1: bank on him being out, and I cannot advocate the

1274
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 1: usage of Nelson Aglar or jj Arthega Whiteside. Uh just

1275
01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:48,760
Speaker 1: too much of a dart throw for me, even in

1276
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:51,160
Speaker 1: a in a juicy matchup. But I can advocate the

1277
01:08:51,280 --> 01:08:55,320
Speaker 1: usage of zach Ertz. Cowboys are allowing six catches fifty

1278
01:08:55,360 --> 01:08:57,800
Speaker 1: nine yards per game to opposing tight ends. Those are

1279
01:08:57,840 --> 01:09:00,920
Speaker 1: healthy numbers for the record. Earth's is boomer Bus against

1280
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:04,600
Speaker 1: Dallas last year had fourteen for one and two touchdowns

1281
01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:07,280
Speaker 1: in one game and then five for thirty eight and

1282
01:09:07,320 --> 01:09:09,920
Speaker 1: the other. So let's let's hope for the former. UH

1283
01:09:10,040 --> 01:09:12,240
Speaker 1: this week. When it comes to the box scores for

1284
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:15,479
Speaker 1: Earth's Dallas, Goddard wanted to give him a C grade.

1285
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:19,000
Speaker 1: He has commanded nearly fort of Philly's tight end target

1286
01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:21,519
Speaker 1: share over the last three weeks, but the floor is

1287
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:24,640
Speaker 1: way too scary catch games in them, even in the

1288
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:26,799
Speaker 1: tight end waste land. He did have like a seventy

1289
01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:29,360
Speaker 1: yard touchdown against the Cowboys, called back last year for

1290
01:09:29,439 --> 01:09:31,960
Speaker 1: one of the worst offensive past in appearance calls of

1291
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:34,200
Speaker 1: all time. I'm sure he remembers that, but still not

1292
01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:36,519
Speaker 1: enough of a motivating factor for me to start him.

1293
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:40,519
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard over the running backs just to see this week,

1294
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:44,160
Speaker 1: hasn't seen a target since Week four, so his role

1295
01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:47,080
Speaker 1: is clearly ground and pound. UH. It's a neutral matchup

1296
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:49,240
Speaker 1: at best. Aaron Jones went off a couple of weeks ago,

1297
01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago against Dallas. We all remember that,

1298
01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:55,080
Speaker 1: but Levan Bell and Alvin Kamara struggled to get things

1299
01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:57,400
Speaker 1: going on the ground against the Cowboys. So just to

1300
01:09:57,439 --> 01:10:00,400
Speaker 1: see for Howard Miles Sanders was my take a chance

1301
01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:03,519
Speaker 1: of me running back? UH Dallas very friendly to running

1302
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:06,519
Speaker 1: backs through the air over to Dallas and they're running

1303
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:09,080
Speaker 1: back Zeke just to be in this one. In four

1304
01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:11,600
Speaker 1: career games against Philly, Zeke is averaging a hundred and

1305
01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:14,000
Speaker 1: sixteen yards on the ground and six catches for fifty

1306
01:10:14,080 --> 01:10:17,599
Speaker 1: yards per game. That's obviously good production, but he'll struggle

1307
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:20,200
Speaker 1: to meet his rushing average in this one. The Eagles

1308
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:22,400
Speaker 1: have get to allow more than sixty three yards to

1309
01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:24,880
Speaker 1: running back on the ground of this season, and uh

1310
01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:27,840
Speaker 1: Zeke has been very involved in the passing game and

1311
01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:30,920
Speaker 1: comparable running backs have posted nice catch numbers against the Eagles.

1312
01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:33,640
Speaker 1: Levan Bell had seven catches, Aaron Jones had six, So

1313
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:38,400
Speaker 1: safe b for Zeke here. Marii Cooper's he's not gonna

1314
01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:42,280
Speaker 1: go news came out on Friday. He's gonna try and

1315
01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:46,559
Speaker 1: suit up, so if if he does, it's an amazing matchup.

1316
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:50,040
Speaker 1: The Philly secondary just brutal. Jalen Mills is gonna make

1317
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:53,160
Speaker 1: his return. That could be addition or subtraction by addition

1318
01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:58,120
Speaker 1: referred to him as toast is his nickname, Jalen Mills. Uh,

1319
01:10:58,520 --> 01:11:00,680
Speaker 1: if Cooper goes, I'll of him an A, but I

1320
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:03,880
Speaker 1: fear he'd be a decoy. Uh, You're you're definitely starting

1321
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:07,120
Speaker 1: Michael Gallant regardless bose are not he gets an a

1322
01:11:08,360 --> 01:11:10,280
Speaker 1: I mentioned and take a chance of the six different

1323
01:11:10,320 --> 01:11:12,439
Speaker 1: wide receivers have topped a hundred yards against the Eagles,

1324
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:14,920
Speaker 1: who have allowed the most wide receiver touchdowns, the third

1325
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:17,280
Speaker 1: most red zone targets and second most red zone touches,

1326
01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:19,600
Speaker 1: should not be a surprised as if they're yielding that

1327
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:23,240
Speaker 1: to opposing wide receivers as well. That is why Cedric

1328
01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:25,759
Speaker 1: Wilson was might take a chance on me wide receiver.

1329
01:11:28,439 --> 01:11:31,080
Speaker 1: Then Wilson is no longer a take on receiver. And

1330
01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:33,360
Speaker 1: I'm here by tabbing Alan Lazard of Green Bay as

1331
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:35,080
Speaker 1: might take a chance of me wide receiver. I like

1332
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:37,759
Speaker 1: that You've got a provisional take a chance of the receiver.

1333
01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:40,360
Speaker 1: UM a couple more guys really quick for Dallas Randall

1334
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:43,280
Speaker 1: Cobb probably not gonna play I would still bench Tavon

1335
01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:46,600
Speaker 1: Austin his backup if Cobb sits all the all the

1336
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:49,920
Speaker 1: production comes from boundary receivers against the Eagles, and Jason

1337
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:52,560
Speaker 1: Witten gets to see hasn't seen the volume you'd like

1338
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:54,880
Speaker 1: from a starting tight end, but he has topped fifty

1339
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:58,120
Speaker 1: yards or scored a touchdown in five of six games

1340
01:11:58,240 --> 01:12:00,760
Speaker 1: this year, and Philly has yield did the second most

1341
01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:04,320
Speaker 1: red zone targets to opposing tight ends. And lastly, Dak

1342
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:07,559
Speaker 1: Prescott gotta give him an a here. Four different passers

1343
01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:10,040
Speaker 1: have thrown for at least three twenty yards and multiple

1344
01:12:10,080 --> 01:12:12,560
Speaker 1: touchdowns against the Eagles this year, and as always, he

1345
01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:15,040
Speaker 1: is a threat on the ground as well. Remember when

1346
01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:21,320
Speaker 1: the St. Louis Rams gave Tavon Austin, I think fifty

1347
01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:25,439
Speaker 1: million dollar contract. He's gonna get a hundred catches. Remember, Yeah,

1348
01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:28,760
Speaker 1: right at the time, we're all looking at it, tell

1349
01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:32,120
Speaker 1: going this is the worst contract ever. And he was

1350
01:12:32,200 --> 01:12:41,320
Speaker 1: like a top ten pick in close. Unbelievable that our

1351

01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:48,960
Speaker 1: more like five this week that we believe we're gonna

1364
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:54,200
Speaker 1: be hot waiver wire pickups next week. But through our

1365
01:13:54,360 --> 01:14:01,720
Speaker 1: time machine, which sounds exactly like that, you will already

1366
01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:05,800
Speaker 1: have these players on your roster. We begin with Brian

1367
01:14:05,880 --> 01:14:11,120
Speaker 1: who is your premature speculation guy. I said Justice Hill

1368
01:14:11,240 --> 01:14:13,200
Speaker 1: last week, and I'm going with another running back that

1369
01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:15,400
Speaker 1: you can kind of just squad on and he could

1370
01:14:15,479 --> 01:14:17,680
Speaker 1: turn into a league winner as the season goes on,

1371
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:20,639
Speaker 1: and that's Tony Pollard. Of course, he would need something

1372
01:14:20,720 --> 01:14:22,719
Speaker 1: to happen to Zeke for him to become a league winner.

1373
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:25,840
Speaker 1: But I do think Pollard starts to carve out more

1374
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:28,960
Speaker 1: of a handcuff with benefits role. As a season wears on,

1375
01:14:29,320 --> 01:14:31,519
Speaker 1: people are screaming to get him involved in the passing

1376
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:35,400
Speaker 1: game more. Uh. Zeke's been taking more of the receiving

1377
01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:37,080
Speaker 1: game for running backs and people have been expected, but

1378
01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:39,400
Speaker 1: he's not doing a whole lot with him. Uh, Pollard

1379
01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:42,200
Speaker 1: will get involved more. He's been compared to Alvin Kamara

1380
01:14:42,280 --> 01:14:44,360
Speaker 1: by people in his own organization, but they're certainly not

1381
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:47,320
Speaker 1: using him that way. And really the wide receivers for

1382
01:14:48,720 --> 01:14:51,479
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are the walking wounded right now. And it

1383
01:14:51,560 --> 01:14:53,840
Speaker 1: started in training camp with the Marii Cooper who was

1384
01:14:53,880 --> 01:14:55,880
Speaker 1: gonna be questionable to start the season. Now Cooper has

1385
01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:58,760
Speaker 1: hurt again, Radel Cobs hurt, Michael Gallup has been hurt.

1386
01:14:59,400 --> 01:15:01,600
Speaker 1: Jason Witten is very old and not that good. So

1387
01:15:02,040 --> 01:15:05,559
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard he's gonna start to see five, six, seven

1388
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:08,559
Speaker 1: targets per game, so he will be viable in PPR.

1389
01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:11,519
Speaker 1: And again if something happens to Zeke, giddy up. Okay,

1390
01:15:12,040 --> 01:15:18,120
Speaker 1: your your premature speculation, Guy Scott speculation. Going back to

1391
01:15:18,160 --> 01:15:20,719
Speaker 1: the preseason, who's that quarterback that I kept talking about

1392
01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:22,439
Speaker 1: because I like the way he ended the last season?

1393
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:26,160
Speaker 1: It was Sam Donald who you love this preseason play too.

1394
01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:29,439
Speaker 1: I still I still like him, and after this Pat's

1395
01:15:29,479 --> 01:15:32,439
Speaker 1: game this week, so you're not gonna play him this week.

1396
01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:34,680
Speaker 1: But this is a good option for Mahomes. Owner. You

1397
01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:37,680
Speaker 1: started Mahomes right, you start? Yeah, you started Mahomes on

1398
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:40,439
Speaker 1: Thursday night. And now as you're looking ahead to who

1399
01:15:40,479 --> 01:15:43,599
Speaker 1: you might has used a replacement for Homes, here's your guys,

1400
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:46,280
Speaker 1: Sam Donald. He gets the Jaguars next week. You might

1401
01:15:46,320 --> 01:15:48,759
Speaker 1: be a little worried. Guess what, Joe Flacco and Marcus

1402
01:15:48,840 --> 01:15:51,280
Speaker 1: Mariota both through for over three yards on the Jags.

1403
01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:55,120
Speaker 1: If they can do it. He's got those two. He's

1404
01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:58,679
Speaker 1: got the Jaguars after then he gets the Dolphins, the Giants,

1405
01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:03,320
Speaker 1: the Redskins, the Raiders, the Bengals, and the Dolphins seven

1406
01:16:03,360 --> 01:16:05,880
Speaker 1: in a row. That are easy. All of those teams

1407
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:08,800
Speaker 1: bottom to Most of those teams are bottom six. So

1408
01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:12,679
Speaker 1: Sam Donald is going to have A and B grades

1409
01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:16,160
Speaker 1: for many of those games. Only roster and twy seven

1410
01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:18,960
Speaker 1: percent leagues. Yeah, absolutely, I love it. You just right.

1411
01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:20,479
Speaker 1: You gotta sit on him. You gotta sit on him

1412
01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:22,320
Speaker 1: for this week. But big deal. By the way, over

1413
01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:25,280
Speaker 1: the last six games, Sam Donald nine touchdowns, one interception

1414
01:16:25,960 --> 01:16:28,120
Speaker 1: not bad. Well, I'd like to see more touch touchdown.

1415
01:16:28,120 --> 01:16:30,920
Speaker 1: I see more touchdowns over six games than nine. I've

1416
01:16:30,960 --> 01:16:32,760
Speaker 1: got two guys who went on i R at the

1417
01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:35,840
Speaker 1: beginning of the season and are eligible to come off

1418
01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:37,680
Speaker 1: after week eight, And you know next week is going

1419
01:16:37,720 --> 01:16:40,639
Speaker 1: to be We're heading into week eight, so you're gonna

1420
01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:43,120
Speaker 1: start hearing about these names a lot more in the

1421
01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:45,679
Speaker 1: coming days. If you want to be a week ahead

1422
01:16:45,680 --> 01:16:49,280
Speaker 1: of the curve, go get nikkil Harry, the rookie wide

1423
01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:54,080
Speaker 1: receiver for the Patriots, who could end up you could

1424
01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:57,120
Speaker 1: end up getting meaningful playing time. Uh, it wouldn't take

1425
01:16:57,200 --> 01:17:01,720
Speaker 1: necessarily a lot to get him onto the field. Gordon's hurt,

1426
01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:04,920
Speaker 1: Dorset's just coming off injury, right, yeah, exactly. And then

1427
01:17:05,080 --> 01:17:08,960
Speaker 1: Darius Guys, the Redskins runner who missed all last year

1428
01:17:09,080 --> 01:17:11,040
Speaker 1: and then had the setback at the beginning of this year.

1429
01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:13,519
Speaker 1: He's eligible to come back to And I don't love

1430
01:17:13,560 --> 01:17:18,160
Speaker 1: any Redskin necessarily, but guys has got to be better

1431
01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:20,240
Speaker 1: than what Adrian Peterson's giving that team, and they do

1432
01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:22,360
Speaker 1: want to run more. He could walk right in and

1433
01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:24,800
Speaker 1: become the you become the lead running back on an

1434
01:17:24,880 --> 01:17:33,280
Speaker 1: NFL team, So there's a couple of team that's us

1435
01:17:33,320 --> 01:17:36,200
Speaker 1: getting back to normal time. Now we're back. Now, we're

1436
01:17:36,240 --> 01:17:37,599
Speaker 1: back to weeks and I want to what. I want

1437
01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:40,559
Speaker 1: to know what our machine looks like. That's the next

1438
01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:43,120
Speaker 1: thing we gotta get. Yeah, we don't. We have to

1439
01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:45,120
Speaker 1: describe to radio. I mean we have to describe it.

1440
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:47,960
Speaker 1: I mean some parts kind of tricky on our time machine. Um,

1441
01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:51,400
Speaker 1: let's take a look at our final two matchups, Baltimore

1442
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:55,120
Speaker 1: taking on Seattle. We begin on the Baltimore side and

1443
01:17:55,200 --> 01:17:59,439
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, who faces really a schizophrenic Seahawks defense that's

1444
01:17:59,479 --> 01:18:04,080
Speaker 1: allowed some alarmingly huge games to some pretty mediocre quarterbacks.

1445
01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:07,679
Speaker 1: How about Andy Dalton putting up four hundred eighteen yards,

1446
01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:13,000
Speaker 1: Jared Goff four hundred yards, Baker Mayfield to fifty and two,

1447
01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:18,240
Speaker 1: and two of the last three quarterbacks they faced rushing

1448
01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:21,599
Speaker 1: touchdowns against Seattle. I have reason to believe Lamar Jackson

1449
01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:26,559
Speaker 1: can rad Let's go to his his receiving options. Mark Andrews,

1450
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:29,200
Speaker 1: also an A grade. Andrews has seen at least seven

1451
01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:32,240
Speaker 1: targets in every game. Draws a good matchup with the Seahawks,

1452
01:18:32,240 --> 01:18:35,560
Speaker 1: who struggled against tight ends. Their bottom six and receptions,

1453
01:18:35,920 --> 01:18:39,160
Speaker 1: bottom six in yards, bottom six in touchdowns allowed to

1454
01:18:39,240 --> 01:18:41,679
Speaker 1: the position. Can we just start calling him man Drew

1455
01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:45,320
Speaker 1: because he's a man monk boys out there man Drew's,

1456
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:49,920
Speaker 1: man Drews, Andrews man. I don't don't talent. I think

1457
01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:52,919
Speaker 1: it's a little bit. I know you. I love my nicknames.

1458
01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:55,600
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm not loving man Drew's. I'll tell you

1459
01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:57,280
Speaker 1: what if any if we get to know people to

1460
01:18:57,400 --> 01:19:01,840
Speaker 1: hashtag man Drew's at us, then yes, but that's might be.

1461
01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:05,320
Speaker 1: That might be what it takes. Um Mark keats Brown.

1462
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:07,040
Speaker 1: We is shaping up as a game time decision with

1463
01:19:07,080 --> 01:19:10,320
Speaker 1: an ankle injury. He has scored just once since the opener.

1464
01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:14,800
Speaker 1: He's caught four or fewer passes in four of the

1465
01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:18,200
Speaker 1: five games he's played in. And I don't love the

1466
01:19:18,240 --> 01:19:21,920
Speaker 1: matchup against cornerback Shaquille Griffin, who's got really good speed.

1467
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:24,240
Speaker 1: He might be one of the fastest cornerbacks in the league.

1468
01:19:24,920 --> 01:19:27,280
Speaker 1: So you know, an old Brown's whole deal of speeds.

1469
01:19:27,360 --> 01:19:29,240
Speaker 1: So I don't love Brown in this. I've got a

1470
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:32,160
Speaker 1: bench grade on markis Brown, even if he does try

1471
01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:35,200
Speaker 1: to play through the ankle injury. Let's go to Let's

1472
01:19:35,200 --> 01:19:36,920
Speaker 1: go to the running game, where mark Ingram gets a

1473
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:40,519
Speaker 1: B grade. He may struggle with efficiency a little bit here.

1474
01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:43,040
Speaker 1: Seahawks only allowing four point three yards per carry, good

1475
01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:45,320
Speaker 1: for eighth best, but they are allowing the second most

1476
01:19:45,400 --> 01:19:49,840
Speaker 1: touchdowns to opposing ball carriers. Todd Gurley Nick Chubb each

1477
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:53,120
Speaker 1: found the end zone twice in Seattle's last two contests.

1478
01:19:53,120 --> 01:19:55,040
Speaker 1: So I still like Ingram. I've got to be great

1479
01:19:55,040 --> 01:19:56,639
Speaker 1: out because I don't think he blows up here. And actually,

1480
01:19:56,640 --> 01:20:00,400
Speaker 1: the biggest threat to mark Ingram is Lamar Jackson. Honestly,

1481
01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:04,040
Speaker 1: if he if he did not have such a prodigious

1482
01:20:04,200 --> 01:20:07,080
Speaker 1: rushing quarterback, I would have an A grade on mark Ingram.

1483
01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:11,200
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Seattle side, shall we beginning with

1484
01:20:11,280 --> 01:20:14,320
Speaker 1: Chris Carson. Last week, Carson rushed for a season high

1485
01:20:14,400 --> 01:20:17,439
Speaker 1: one four yards on the ground to make make it

1486
01:20:17,600 --> 01:20:20,799
Speaker 1: three straight one hundred yard efforts, which is an awfully

1487
01:20:20,840 --> 01:20:23,680
Speaker 1: impressive turnaround from a guy that everybody expected to hit

1488
01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:25,760
Speaker 1: the bench. He was one fumble away from hitting the bench.

1489
01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:28,559
Speaker 1: He hasn't fumbled since then, and now he's probably earned

1490
01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:31,280
Speaker 1: enough equity that even if he did fumble once, it

1491
01:20:31,280 --> 01:20:35,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't automatically mean the bench for Chris Carson. He has

1492
01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:38,479
Speaker 1: scored twelve times in his last thirteen games. In the

1493
01:20:38,560 --> 01:20:41,400
Speaker 1: last five games, the Ravens have allowed eight touchdowns to

1494
01:20:41,479 --> 01:20:44,679
Speaker 1: running backs and they've given up an uncharacteristic four point

1495
01:20:44,800 --> 01:20:48,280
Speaker 1: eight yards per carry over the last five games. You'll

1496
01:20:48,320 --> 01:20:50,519
Speaker 1: notice all these Ravens stats were going back five games

1497
01:20:50,520 --> 01:20:52,320
Speaker 1: because they played in Miami in the first week, and

1498
01:20:52,360 --> 01:20:55,320
Speaker 1: of course Miami can't do anything. So this is back

1499
01:20:55,360 --> 01:20:59,040
Speaker 1: in the old days of Fantasy Football Weekly, when there

1500
01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:04,000
Speaker 1: was Glendon quarterback JaMarcus Russell. We were we nickname him

1501
01:21:04,160 --> 01:21:07,840
Speaker 1: JaMarcus Astric because we have to astric all of our

1502
01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:10,640
Speaker 1: stats because it'd be like this team has given a

1503
01:21:10,800 --> 01:21:15,360
Speaker 1: three hundred three hundred passing yards in five of six

1504
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:20,240
Speaker 1: games because they faced JaMarcus Russell. Miami is the new Astrix.

1505
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:23,120
Speaker 1: All right, Let's go to the passing give of the Seahawks.

1506
01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:26,000
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson multiple touchdowns in five of six games, at

1507
01:21:26,080 --> 01:21:28,320
Speaker 1: least two hundred forty passing yards in every game since

1508
01:21:28,360 --> 01:21:32,759
Speaker 1: the opener. Obviously an elite fantasy quarterback regardless of matchup.

1509
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:36,360
Speaker 1: As for this one with Baltimore, they held down Ryan

1510
01:21:36,439 --> 01:21:39,519
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick and Mason Rudolph and Adye Dalton, but got smoked

1511
01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:42,920
Speaker 1: by people at Wilson's level like Patrick Mahomes and Baker

1512
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:45,840
Speaker 1: Mayfield and even Kyler Murray. Those guys all put up

1513
01:21:46,160 --> 01:21:49,200
Speaker 1: over three hundred forty two yards. So it's an A

1514
01:21:49,400 --> 01:21:51,960
Speaker 1: grade for Russell Wilson here, And if I like Wilson,

1515
01:21:52,040 --> 01:21:55,479
Speaker 1: it means I also like his receivers. Tyler Lockett gets

1516
01:21:55,520 --> 01:21:59,800
Speaker 1: an A grade. The Ravens allowing the fifth most path

1517
01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:03,320
Speaker 1: is excuse me, fifth most yards per game to opposing

1518
01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:06,840
Speaker 1: wide receivers, and they've been particularly bad at the deep ball,

1519
01:22:07,200 --> 01:22:10,360
Speaker 1: allowing the third most passes of forty yards or more.

1520
01:22:11,200 --> 01:22:14,759
Speaker 1: And obviously that's lock It's game is the deep passing.

1521
01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:21,519
Speaker 1: He's so fast. Scent of Russell Wilson's attempts go for

1522
01:22:21,680 --> 01:22:26,479
Speaker 1: over twenty yards. And get this, he completes seventy two

1523
01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:31,840
Speaker 1: of his passes of over twenty yards. How that's nuts.

1524
01:22:32,520 --> 01:22:35,640
Speaker 1: Most quarterbacks are half that rate. Quarterbacks are lucky to

1525
01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:40,760
Speaker 1: get that completion percentage overall. Yes, that's unbelievable. Even with

1526
01:22:40,880 --> 01:22:43,759
Speaker 1: Marcus Peters now on the Ravens, and even if Jimmy

1527
01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:46,400
Speaker 1: Smith returns, I don't care. Lock It A grade here

1528
01:22:46,640 --> 01:22:48,680
Speaker 1: and dk Metcalf much of the same stuff I just

1529
01:22:48,720 --> 01:22:51,240
Speaker 1: said about lock it in the deep ball. Dk Metcalf's

1530
01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:53,640
Speaker 1: whole bit is run straight, run fast, so I like

1531
01:22:53,840 --> 01:22:56,120
Speaker 1: him and this one as well. He's already seen eight

1532
01:22:56,160 --> 01:22:58,760
Speaker 1: targets of twenty or more yards, including both of his

1533
01:22:58,840 --> 01:23:02,240
Speaker 1: touchdowns which came outside of twenty yards. I like dk

1534
01:23:02,400 --> 01:23:05,120
Speaker 1: Metcalf with a B grade in this game as well.

1535
01:23:05,680 --> 01:23:07,479
Speaker 1: I would love to tell you about will dis Lee

1536
01:23:09,080 --> 01:23:13,080
Speaker 1: No no point, unfortunately in this one. That is sad

1537
01:23:13,160 --> 01:23:16,040
Speaker 1: our final matchup is the Monday Night game, which is

1538
01:23:16,080 --> 01:23:19,599
Speaker 1: New England taking on the New York Jets. Scott Um.

1539
01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:22,599
Speaker 1: Can I get two rushing touchdowns out of Tom Brady? Yes?

1540
01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:26,400
Speaker 1: I mean he's He's their goal lineback right easy. Easy.

1541
01:23:27,040 --> 01:23:28,960
Speaker 1: Even if you don't get the touchdowns, I still have

1542
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:31,439
Speaker 1: an A grade on Brady, who had three hundred yards

1543
01:23:31,479 --> 01:23:34,640
Speaker 1: passing and two touchdowns in Week three. And Brady has

1544
01:23:34,680 --> 01:23:37,000
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty plus yards and multiple touchdowns in

1545
01:23:37,160 --> 01:23:40,840
Speaker 1: every game except for the staunch Bills defense game. Brady

1546
01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:44,439
Speaker 1: is also averaging thirty eight pass attempts per game. That's

1547
01:23:44,479 --> 01:23:46,519
Speaker 1: gonna keep him firmly in the top twelve. For this week.

1548
01:23:46,560 --> 01:23:51,080
Speaker 1: For me, his main guy Edelman, Brian Poole has only

1549
01:23:51,320 --> 01:23:53,320
Speaker 1: the cornerback he's gonna face in the slot. Has only

1550
01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:56,760
Speaker 1: allowed ninety yards and no touchdowns from the slot this year,

1551
01:23:57,120 --> 01:23:59,240
Speaker 1: so it is a tough matchup. But I feel like

1552
01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:02,000
Speaker 1: he's going to get the targets and enough volume there

1553
01:24:02,040 --> 01:24:04,680
Speaker 1: to be probably a B start, maybe even better. But

1554
01:24:04,760 --> 01:24:09,439
Speaker 1: I'm definitely giving him be at least. Uh Gordon Myers

1555
01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:12,960
Speaker 1: Dorset all of that. Gordon didn't practice this week the

1556
01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:17,200
Speaker 1: Dorsets coming back from injury, but was still limited. I'm

1557
01:24:17,280 --> 01:24:20,160
Speaker 1: not messing with the rest of that. Those wide receivers. Uh,

1558
01:24:20,240 --> 01:24:22,519
Speaker 1: Sody Michelle. I'm giving a C star to he's he

1559
01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:26,760
Speaker 1: had seventeen touches, nineteen touches, twenty four touches over the

1560
01:24:26,840 --> 01:24:29,360
Speaker 1: last three weeks. He's not getting the goal line work

1561
01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:32,599
Speaker 1: because that's Tom Brady's job. Apparently it is. Well, James

1562
01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:35,439
Speaker 1: Devlin dead to us. James Devlin and I are the

1563
01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:41,400
Speaker 1: new fullback, is Tom Brady? Yeah? So, Uh, Rex Burke

1564
01:24:41,439 --> 01:24:42,840
Speaker 1: had I don't know if he'll be back. He was

1565
01:24:42,920 --> 01:24:45,160
Speaker 1: limited in practice this week as well. He might be,

1566
01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:47,400
Speaker 1: but I don't we don't know what to expect from him.

1567
01:24:47,520 --> 01:24:49,800
Speaker 1: He looked good when he was here earlier, but he

1568
01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:52,679
Speaker 1: can't start him. Whiteham's also given him a C grade

1569
01:24:52,720 --> 01:24:56,000
Speaker 1: because he's had nine targets in three three straight. The

1570
01:24:56,080 --> 01:24:58,080
Speaker 1: only resulted in fifty eight per game. But all it's

1571
01:24:58,080 --> 01:25:00,360
Speaker 1: going to take his one big one and and though

1572
01:25:00,560 --> 01:25:03,519
Speaker 1: that turns into something, so a C grade there on

1573
01:25:03,640 --> 01:25:06,800
Speaker 1: the Jet side, Sam Donald, this is not the week.

1574
01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:08,719
Speaker 1: This is the one week I don't want to start.

1575
01:25:08,800 --> 01:25:11,640
Speaker 1: And the Pats will only allowed one passing touchdown this

1576
01:25:11,800 --> 01:25:15,719
Speaker 1: year and held every QB under one sixty five yards

1577
01:25:15,760 --> 01:25:19,120
Speaker 1: passing since Week one. That's like Mitchell Trabisky level. They've

1578
01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:22,120
Speaker 1: turned every quarterback into Mitchell trabisc is what they've done.

1579
01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:25,479
Speaker 1: Wouldn't mitchells be the best quarterback the Patriots and face

1580
01:25:25,520 --> 01:25:30,519
Speaker 1: to the season. Uh, Anderson is on the bench. I

1581
01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:34,080
Speaker 1: actually rewatched the Jets Patriots Week three game this week.

1582
01:25:34,320 --> 01:25:38,479
Speaker 1: Stephan Gilmore was on him for every single snap except

1583
01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:40,400
Speaker 1: for one in the slot and it was a bunched

1584
01:25:40,479 --> 01:25:43,880
Speaker 1: up three wide receiver. So Gilmore is gonna shadow him.

1585
01:25:43,880 --> 01:25:46,040
Speaker 1: And the only three past catches he caught were like

1586
01:25:46,160 --> 01:25:49,599
Speaker 1: super short quick passes. I don't trust Anderson for anything

1587
01:25:49,680 --> 01:25:53,040
Speaker 1: with Gilmore all over him. Crowder was my take home

1588
01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:56,400
Speaker 1: to Mary's Thomas. Sorry, it's a bad matchup with mccordy,

1589
01:25:56,439 --> 01:25:58,719
Speaker 1: who's much faster than you, and no matter what past

1590
01:25:58,760 --> 01:26:01,479
Speaker 1: comes to you, he's going to get around. But revenge game, Scott,

1591
01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:04,640
Speaker 1: it's the quickest turnaround revenge game in history. Maybe did

1592
01:26:04,760 --> 01:26:06,760
Speaker 1: we didn't we have one where a guy like was

1593
01:26:06,840 --> 01:26:09,000
Speaker 1: cut in the next week? Oh yeah that sort of

1594
01:26:09,080 --> 01:26:12,000
Speaker 1: rings a bell. Yeah, probably, I don't remember. Actually, Ryan

1595
01:26:12,080 --> 01:26:16,800
Speaker 1: Grant is a quicker revenge game. Uh and Levyan Bell

1596
01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:19,760
Speaker 1: and rewatching that game they were selling out to get

1597
01:26:19,800 --> 01:26:22,479
Speaker 1: to Luke Fox. Levan Bell had his worst game of

1598
01:26:22,520 --> 01:26:26,080
Speaker 1: the year, thirty or sixty three yards on on seventeen

1599
01:26:26,120 --> 01:26:30,080
Speaker 1: touches or whatever. He's gonna have a lot as many touches.

1600
01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:32,600
Speaker 1: Probably he's averaging twenty two a game. They're not going

1601
01:26:32,680 --> 01:26:34,360
Speaker 1: to sell out to get to Donald like they did

1602
01:26:34,479 --> 01:26:37,120
Speaker 1: Luke Fox. Bell will not be jamming his face into

1603
01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:39,360
Speaker 1: that a man front in this game. I think he's

1604
01:26:39,360 --> 01:26:41,920
Speaker 1: gonna have a better grade, but I'm only giving him

1605
01:26:41,920 --> 01:26:44,519
Speaker 1: a C grade on volume. It's such a good run defense,

1606
01:26:44,640 --> 01:26:46,919
Speaker 1: it sounds right. It's sad with the return of Donald,

1607
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:49,760
Speaker 1: we won't be able to give Luke Fox and a

1608
01:26:50,680 --> 01:26:55,800
Speaker 1: moving forward well enunciated, anybody left in that matchup? We

1609
01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:59,040
Speaker 1: covered everything, No, we covered everything. There sounds good. Um.

1610
01:26:59,439 --> 01:27:01,320
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the Buffalo schedule. You're talking

1611
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:04,720
Speaker 1: about the easy jet schedule, particularly in the second half

1612
01:27:04,720 --> 01:27:06,920
Speaker 1: of the season. No team has an easier schedule over

1613
01:27:06,960 --> 01:27:11,080
Speaker 1: the next five weeks than Buffalo. Get this, Miami this week,

1614
01:27:11,840 --> 01:27:16,840
Speaker 1: five weeks from now, five games from now, Miami. What's

1615
01:27:16,880 --> 01:27:19,400
Speaker 1: the meat in the Miami sandwich for the schedule for

1616
01:27:19,439 --> 01:27:26,080
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, Eagles, Redskins, Browns. If you it doesn't

1617
01:27:26,120 --> 01:27:28,320
Speaker 1: get any easier than this, if you would have traded

1618
01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:32,040
Speaker 1: the Browns for maybe the Falcons or something maybe, like right,

1619
01:27:32,080 --> 01:27:33,800
Speaker 1: I mean that's about it. Yeah, that's right. And the

1620
01:27:33,880 --> 01:27:36,439
Speaker 1: Browns have been a competent defense, but that's it, just competent.

1621
01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:41,400
Speaker 1: So given that Josh Allen over those five games, will

1622
01:27:41,520 --> 01:27:45,360
Speaker 1: he be a top five fantasy quarterback? I thought I

1623
01:27:45,400 --> 01:27:47,439
Speaker 1: thought you're gonna say, will he be a QB one

1624
01:27:47,560 --> 01:27:49,200
Speaker 1: like he was last year for like a four or

1625
01:27:49,240 --> 01:27:51,760
Speaker 1: five game stretch? Well, QB one is, like, you know,

1626
01:27:51,920 --> 01:27:54,559
Speaker 1: that's the top twelve. I think, Well, no, I'm talking

1627
01:27:55,439 --> 01:27:57,439
Speaker 1: number one. I think you can make an argument that

1628
01:27:57,520 --> 01:27:59,759
Speaker 1: over the next five weeks maybe he is the overall

1629
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:02,160
Speaker 1: to be one. For the next five weeks, he might

1630
01:28:02,200 --> 01:28:07,360
Speaker 1: be for the last five weeks last season, right production exactly,

1631
01:28:07,400 --> 01:28:09,840
Speaker 1: he gets now when he placed Miami last year, the

1632
01:28:09,920 --> 01:28:15,519
Speaker 1: two games he ran, that's unbelievable. If he could please

1633
01:28:15,600 --> 01:28:18,320
Speaker 1: run for another two thirty Josh Allen and then Devin

1634
01:28:18,400 --> 01:28:22,920
Speaker 1: Singletary as well, it's gonna He's gonna cash in Tingley,

1635
01:28:23,000 --> 01:28:26,200
Speaker 1: aren't you. I'm excited. You are excited. Um. If you're
