0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:39.239
<v Speaker 1>about Patrick Mahomes in just a moment, but over the

0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:41.920
<v Speaker 1>course of the show, we will break down every game

0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:45.000
<v Speaker 1>fantasy style, like we always do, give you letter grades

0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:48.720
<v Speaker 1>on every meaningful fantasy player and an explanation for why

0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:51.600
<v Speaker 1>that player got that grade, so you can decide to

0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:53.720
<v Speaker 1>you on board with our thinking or not make your

0:00:53.720 --> 0:00:56.480
<v Speaker 1>own decisions. We'll give you nine players upon whom you

0:00:56.480 --> 0:00:58.760
<v Speaker 1>can take a chance coming up next segment, and then

0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:01.840
<v Speaker 1>we'll answer three tough questions and we'll even jump into

0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:04.160
<v Speaker 1>a time machine to identify the players. Everybody's gonna be

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:09.360
<v Speaker 1>trying to pick up next week, but as it turns out,

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:14.480
<v Speaker 1>he's already on your team because you've been in the

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:18.160
<v Speaker 1>time machine. I'm gonna run our time machine that sound

0:01:18.160 --> 0:01:22.840
<v Speaker 1>effect into the ground. That's a good time machine sound effect.

0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.679
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Brian. We weren't sure for a while. Our

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:29.119
<v Speaker 1>our time machine went blamo. But really time that doesn't

0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:30.840
<v Speaker 1>it's not a very I could have just done the

0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:36.000
<v Speaker 1>dude dude from Wayne's World or the doctor who yeah, right,

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.840
<v Speaker 1>the doctor who won. It's grating, the doctor who want

0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:43.000
<v Speaker 1>not of the sound. David, I'm a I'm a fan

0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:47.800
<v Speaker 1>of David Tennant, who's not good to really like the

0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:51.920
<v Speaker 1>news for sure. Let's start with Patrick Mahomes. Guys, we

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:56.600
<v Speaker 1>believe that he's gonna miss three ish games, but maybe

0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 1>it extends out to the bye week, which had been five.

0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>So there's you know, there's a little bit of wheel

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:04.600
<v Speaker 1>room on on what this means. Week twelve is Kansas

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.160
<v Speaker 1>City's by Week twelve is there by? You know, I think,

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:10.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, we don't know if they would necessarily be

0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:12.919
<v Speaker 1>rushing him back. They brought it back before the bye

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:14.359
<v Speaker 1>but you know a lot of teams used that by

0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:17.160
<v Speaker 1>to just get to one, and I wouldn't be surprised

0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.119
<v Speaker 1>if they did that here. Now that said, so they're

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.280
<v Speaker 1>five and two, that they got the Packers and Vikings

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:23.399
<v Speaker 1>coming out. Packers and Vice could be rough with Matt

0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 1>Moore in there, they could be. Um, those are two

0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:28.880
<v Speaker 1>good past defenses that would make things tough, no matter

0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:30.600
<v Speaker 1>I think, No matter what. I'm just trying to think

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 1>of their their record and their playoff chances and hopes. Yeah,

0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 1>which is important in this right. You know, when you're

0:02:36.320 --> 0:02:38.600
<v Speaker 1>secure in your record in your playoff hopes, it's a

0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:41.640
<v Speaker 1>lot easier to bench your quarterback longer their division sucks,

0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:45.480
<v Speaker 1>that helps. Yeah, So that's that's what might be the

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:48.160
<v Speaker 1>second best team in that division. Right, That's it's come

0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.600
<v Speaker 1>to this for the poor Chargers. So all the injuries

0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:54.280
<v Speaker 1>all right, so let's start here for the games he's out,

0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:59.239
<v Speaker 1>is Tyreek Hill and automatic start? Yes or no? Without

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.280
<v Speaker 1>Patrick and assuming Matt Moore's at the helmet, I think

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:03.760
<v Speaker 1>because it's a short enough of injury, I dont think

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna make a move at quarterback. He's so explosive.

0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:09.360
<v Speaker 1>I would have a hard time giving him less than

0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.160
<v Speaker 1>the sea on this show. He's still had a fifty

0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:14.360
<v Speaker 1>seven year touchdown with more in last night. Um, but

0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:17.120
<v Speaker 1>I think I think he's still an automatic start, because

0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:20.400
<v Speaker 1>these next few weeks are so bye week written and

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:23.080
<v Speaker 1>there's so many injuries. I have trouble believing you're gonna

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:26.000
<v Speaker 1>bend him. Okay, even with more same thing with Kelsey, right,

0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:30.280
<v Speaker 1>even even with Kelsey, where you're still you're there's just

0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:32.080
<v Speaker 1>no there's just no good tight end. However, you'd be

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.920
<v Speaker 1>picking up to replace Kelsey can't possibly be better than

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:36.960
<v Speaker 1>Kelsey with Matt Moore, and so he's going to be

0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:39.600
<v Speaker 1>in back the hill very quickly. They're probably gonna get

0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:41.640
<v Speaker 1>creative in ways of getting him the ball to putting

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:43.600
<v Speaker 1>the ball in his hands, you know, yeah, maybe, yeah.

0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:45.600
<v Speaker 1>You know we've seen him more on Jet Steep Hill

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:47.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot and do some other things right, and Andy

0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:50.480
<v Speaker 1>Reids brilliant. Uh, the running game to me is a

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:54.559
<v Speaker 1>real question mark here. It was already a very inconsistent

0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:56.880
<v Speaker 1>running game. And now when you take the threat of

0:03:56.880 --> 0:03:59.480
<v Speaker 1>the pass away and what Patrick Mahomes did to open

0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.520
<v Speaker 1>up the fee old. Um, I don't know that I'm

0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 1>going to be starting or giving a starting grade to

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:10.240
<v Speaker 1>McCoy or Williams anytime soon. I barely could anyway. That

0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 1>was with Mahomes, right, not chance. Okay, so I think

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 1>we're in agreement on McCoy is gonna have to face Miami,

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.920
<v Speaker 1>which they don't until I believe weeks seventeen again, right,

0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:23.680
<v Speaker 1>so yeah, and then any other wide receiver, whether it's

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 1>even a healthy Sammy Watkins, it's all matchup dependent at

0:04:26.440 --> 0:04:30.960
<v Speaker 1>this point. Are you dropping without more dropped Sammy Watkins? Yes? No,

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:34.680
<v Speaker 1>probably it depends on the scenario, of course, right, he

0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:39.160
<v Speaker 1>is droppable, but circumstances he's absolutely droppable, you know, to

0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:42.839
<v Speaker 1>be factor in the in the always inconsistency, that inconsistent

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:46.400
<v Speaker 1>that comes with Sammy Watkins, in with his own injury,

0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:49.479
<v Speaker 1>Mahomes injury. He's out, He's dead to us right now.

0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Let me give you this one. You're an owner scenario.

0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:57.520
<v Speaker 1>You're an owner with Patrick Mahomes and your sub five hundred?

0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Are you pushing? Are you trading him away to a

0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:05.800
<v Speaker 1>playoff bound team? I can see that move, I can

0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:08.479
<v Speaker 1>see that movie. I can too. Yeah, because you you need,

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:12.400
<v Speaker 1>you need the help. Probably it's your stuffy Miami and

0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:15.640
<v Speaker 1>they don't, and they and Mahomes owners aren't necessarily above

0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:17.480
<v Speaker 1>five hundred this year. This is not like last year

0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:19.520
<v Speaker 1>where you if you have the homes, you're almost automatically

0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:23.719
<v Speaker 1>over five hundred. If you are above five hundred, I think,

0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 1>and you've got my homes, you just hold steady and

0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:28.160
<v Speaker 1>you don't panic, and you just you just wait this

0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:32.000
<v Speaker 1>thing out to be able to help you. Yeah, you've

0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:34.719
<v Speaker 1>got an angle for premature speculation later on in this show.

0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:37.640
<v Speaker 1>All right, So there's there's the I think, the quick

0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:40.640
<v Speaker 1>breakdown and on how how we feel about the homes

0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:42.839
<v Speaker 1>and all the other things related to the Chiefs. And

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:47.040
<v Speaker 1>it's a really tough break from Thursday night, but um,

0:05:47.080 --> 0:05:50.280
<v Speaker 1>it could have been far far worse. Assuming things hold

0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 1>as expected. Let's jump into the matchups, beginning with the

0:05:52.800 --> 0:05:56.120
<v Speaker 1>Los Angeles Rams taking on the Atlanta Falcons and what

0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:58.800
<v Speaker 1>should be a point fest for everybody who started Jared

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Goff last week. Uh, you know you're feeling awfully burned.

0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:07.359
<v Speaker 1>But Scott here comes what should be the cure in

0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.920
<v Speaker 1>the form of the Falcons. Yeah. He he did not

0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:12.880
<v Speaker 1>look good last week. I think seventy eight passing yards

0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.920
<v Speaker 1>if I remember correctly. Over the last four games, qps

0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:19.600
<v Speaker 1>are averaging three hundred and twenty five yards and three

0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:23.880
<v Speaker 1>in a quarter touchdowns against the Atlanta Falcons. Um, so

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.960
<v Speaker 1>I am starting. I'm starting golf here just based on matchup,

0:06:27.240 --> 0:06:29.240
<v Speaker 1>even though it's a road game. Golf doesn't usually play

0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:31.000
<v Speaker 1>well in road games, but this is a road game.

0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm willing to take the chance. Uh. So I do

0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:35.919
<v Speaker 1>have an A grade on golf. It's just the Atlanta

0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Falcons defenses is where I I line up that up

0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:44.200
<v Speaker 1>with cano Neel out there, they're even worse for Cooper Cup,

0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:46.560
<v Speaker 1>his main guy in A grade. He had a bad

0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:48.640
<v Speaker 1>week last week, but he had four straight hundred yard

0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:50.719
<v Speaker 1>games before that. I think he gets back to where

0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:53.920
<v Speaker 1>he was there. Um, he's a guy that's played. Uh.

0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:56.360
<v Speaker 1>He leads to the team with sixty nine targets. By

0:06:56.360 --> 0:07:01.440
<v Speaker 1>the way, Brian, now you're sleeping nice. Over the last

0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:04.360
<v Speaker 1>three weeks, the Falcons are allowing the most yards, touchdowns,

0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:06.520
<v Speaker 1>and third most receptions to wide receivers. So I have

0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:08.880
<v Speaker 1>all their wide receivers starting. I have a B grade

0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:13.080
<v Speaker 1>on Cooks because deep speed guys like uh like will following.

0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Even demire Bird had a fifty eight yard cat last week.

0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Uh yeah, do you speed guys can exploit Atlanta? So

0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:20.920
<v Speaker 1>I got a B grade on Cooks and see has

0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:23.680
<v Speaker 1>been a little disappoint What has been a little disappointing

0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:26.880
<v Speaker 1>this year no touchdowns. That's more than a little disappointed. Actly,

0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:29.240
<v Speaker 1>So I'm giving him a C grade just because the

0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:31.400
<v Speaker 1>matchup is good enough. You should probably still start him.

0:07:31.920 --> 0:07:34.280
<v Speaker 1>Have the tight ends on the bench. Gerald Everett. I

0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.360
<v Speaker 1>know you had that hundred thirty six yard day the

0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:38.080
<v Speaker 1>other day, but in his last ten games, he has

0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:40.440
<v Speaker 1>that game and then he has a hundred forty six

0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 1>total yards, and so him and Hagbee are on the bench. Todd.

0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:49.160
<v Speaker 1>This is where it gets thorny here. If Todd Gurley goes,

0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:52.360
<v Speaker 1>it looks like he's gonna go. I expect him. I

0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.200
<v Speaker 1>expect them to only play him if he's healthy, and

0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 1>if he's healthy, he's gonna get like the Snaps giving

0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:00.480
<v Speaker 1>him a B grade, and I'm benching the other two.

0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:05.640
<v Speaker 1>If he does not go, I'm I'm giving both Brown

0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:08.040
<v Speaker 1>and Henderson a C grade because I think they will

0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:10.920
<v Speaker 1>have seen in the last game how much more explosive

0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:14.160
<v Speaker 1>Henderson looked, and they'll give him a better split. Brown

0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:15.800
<v Speaker 1>is more of the goal line guy and the two

0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:18.280
<v Speaker 1>down guy, but Henderson can break off a big one

0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:21.800
<v Speaker 1>against Atlanta's defense. I'm giving them both Sea grades if

0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Gurley doesn't go. If Gurley goes, I'm throwing him on

0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:29.000
<v Speaker 1>the bench over to the Atlanta side. We we kind

0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:30.640
<v Speaker 1>of mentioned that this is the highest over under of

0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.480
<v Speaker 1>the week, fifty four point over under by Vegas. They

0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:36.600
<v Speaker 1>expect a lot of points scoring and Matt Ryan leads

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:39.679
<v Speaker 1>the NFL and pass attempts three d plus yards in

0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:43.160
<v Speaker 1>every game, multiple touchdowns in all but one game. Take

0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:45.920
<v Speaker 1>away that defensive battle against the four nine ers. They're

0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.760
<v Speaker 1>just really good. Jalen Ramsey might be able to shut

0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:51.160
<v Speaker 1>down Julio, but we got tight end one Austin Hooper

0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:54.760
<v Speaker 1>and Calvin Ridley and Jalen Ramsey gonna play every play.

0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.800
<v Speaker 1>So he's been on the team for six days days.

0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:00.200
<v Speaker 1>The only scenario I can see them playing having him

0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:03.120
<v Speaker 1>play extended is if they say, just go sit on

0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:06.800
<v Speaker 1>Julio Jones like he any cornerback can go out there

0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:10.080
<v Speaker 1>and just play man, you know, So maybe that's what happens.

0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:13.960
<v Speaker 1>If he does play. Julio and him have no previous history.

0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:16.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm still giving Julio and a Well, we'll talk about

0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:19.160
<v Speaker 1>this later, I know, actually no, we won't talk about

0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:22.000
<v Speaker 1>this later, but with how much is Ryan Ryan is throwing,

0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:26.120
<v Speaker 1>Julio is a stafe option even against Jams. Jalen Ramsey

0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:29.000
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver is the one area the Rams aren't being

0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:33.240
<v Speaker 1>dealt death blows. Uh, only four top sixty five yards

0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.760
<v Speaker 1>all year. But that was Godwin Evans, D J. Moore

0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:42.880
<v Speaker 1>and Michael Thomas conversation. So I'm still giving Julio good

0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.480
<v Speaker 1>grade here, really a B grade scored in four of

0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:48.120
<v Speaker 1>his last six. With how high scoring this game is,

0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:50.280
<v Speaker 1>I think that it's very likely he gets in the

0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:53.880
<v Speaker 1>end zone again here. Uh, Snow, I'm putting on the

0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:56.360
<v Speaker 1>bench slot guys have not done well against the Rams,

0:09:56.360 --> 0:09:59.600
<v Speaker 1>and Snoo has been a little inconsistent. Austin Hooper, we

0:09:59.679 --> 0:10:02.280
<v Speaker 1>mentioned he's tight end one right now. Yes, he might

0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:04.320
<v Speaker 1>be the highest scoring on many leagues. He's the highest

0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:08.560
<v Speaker 1>scoring tight end, and I think he's unvengeable. Yeah, six

0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:11.200
<v Speaker 1>catches at least six catches in four straight Kittle went

0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:14.040
<v Speaker 1>for one oh three against this Rams team, dis Lee

0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:17.240
<v Speaker 1>for eight one. Hooper a grade. Uh. In the running

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:20.120
<v Speaker 1>game demands Freeman, I'm giving a B grade two. He

0:10:20.120 --> 0:10:23.040
<v Speaker 1>has at least nineteen touches and three last four Atlanta

0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:26.680
<v Speaker 1>has allowed seven touchdowns to running backs in six games,

0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:28.720
<v Speaker 1>and five of the six starting running backs to face

0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.200
<v Speaker 1>them scored. So I think there's a there's a good

0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:34.040
<v Speaker 1>line here for Freeman. Okay, Uh, that was a that

0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:35.880
<v Speaker 1>was a thorny matchup. There was a lot of guys

0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:37.719
<v Speaker 1>to get through. With all the question marks at the

0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:41.319
<v Speaker 1>Rams running back situation, I know that that was particularly tricky. One.

0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to green Bay taking on Oakland, Brian all

0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:46.840
<v Speaker 1>three of the green Bay Packers wide receivers starting receivers

0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:50.000
<v Speaker 1>may miss this game. Yeah, well, let's get through the

0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:53.400
<v Speaker 1>green Bay side. Uh after Oakland Oaklands on the road. Here,

0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:55.599
<v Speaker 1>Let's start with Josh Jacobs um and give him a b.

0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.280
<v Speaker 1>Green Bay allowing nearly five yards for carry, I surrendered

0:10:58.280 --> 0:11:00.360
<v Speaker 1>the most rushing touchdowns and running backs. The one concerned

0:11:00.360 --> 0:11:02.880
<v Speaker 1>with Jacobs is the game script flips to the past

0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.120
<v Speaker 1>and it's not all but guaranteed he gets the passing

0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.120
<v Speaker 1>work out of the backfield. He did see a season

0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:10.439
<v Speaker 1>high three targets after John Gruden said they wanted to

0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:12.199
<v Speaker 1>get him more involved in the passing game, but that's

0:11:12.200 --> 0:11:14.680
<v Speaker 1>really only concerned with Jacobs. Also, his left tackle Trent

0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:17.000
<v Speaker 1>Brown is questionable with the cab injury, might miss this,

0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:20.319
<v Speaker 1>but you're starting Jacob's either way. Definitely starting Darren Waller.

0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:23.040
<v Speaker 1>Even in a tough matchup. The Packers have allowed the

0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:25.439
<v Speaker 1>fifth views receiving arts the tight ends only one tight

0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:27.920
<v Speaker 1>end as top thirty seven yards and that was zach Ertz.

0:11:28.160 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Waller is working his way into that tier uh and

0:11:30.920 --> 0:11:33.800
<v Speaker 1>green Bay will be without free safety Darnell Savage, so

0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.440
<v Speaker 1>Waller is safe be here. Tyrol Williams is out, so

0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:38.960
<v Speaker 1>he's definitely on your bench. I'm not going to advocate

0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.840
<v Speaker 1>for hunter Renfro or the newly acquired Za Jones from

0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo there on the bench as well, and so is

0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:47.199
<v Speaker 1>Derek Carr. Even the legendary Darren Waller cannot carry car

0:11:47.240 --> 0:11:50.120
<v Speaker 1>to fantasy relevance over to the green Bay side. Aaron

0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Jones gets a sea so much with the bell cow status.

0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Lost a fumble last week, dropped a touchdown, got out

0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:03.800
<v Speaker 1>snapped by Jamal Williams. Warning nine percent outtouched fifteen to eighteen.

0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:06.000
<v Speaker 1>And this is not a good matchup, believe it or not.

0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:09.320
<v Speaker 1>According to Football Outsiders, Oakland has ranked sixth against the run,

0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:11.800
<v Speaker 1>and over their last two games they've held Marlon Mack

0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:14.640
<v Speaker 1>and David Montgomery to a combined sixty four yards on

0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:17.960
<v Speaker 1>twenty two carries on the ground. Uh. So Jamal Williams,

0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.040
<v Speaker 1>I think he got to give him a sea here. Um.

0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.520
<v Speaker 1>As you already mentioned Charch and I'm gonna talk about more.

0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:25.679
<v Speaker 1>The Packers are basically out of wide receivers, so Williams

0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:28.800
<v Speaker 1>could have an expanded role coming off arguably the best

0:12:28.840 --> 0:12:31.400
<v Speaker 1>game of his career. And Tariko and in ninety Mins

0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:34.560
<v Speaker 1>each had six receptions against Oakland over their last two games.

0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:37.840
<v Speaker 1>So Williams is a factor in PPR. Davante Adams not

0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:42.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna factor. Most likely he's doubtful with that toe injury.

0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:46.360
<v Speaker 1>He's not gonna go. Jerome Geronimo Allison and Mark Kee's

0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:48.440
<v Speaker 1>of all this scantling both on the wrong side of

0:12:48.520 --> 0:12:52.640
<v Speaker 1>questionable as well as they don't go. That leaves Alan

0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:57.640
<v Speaker 1>Lazard and Jake Kumero and Darius Shephard. Uh. Lazard had

0:12:57.679 --> 0:13:00.160
<v Speaker 1>four catches for sixty five yards in a touchtown the

0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:04.720
<v Speaker 1>quote unquote comeback win on My Day football. Uh and

0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:10.120
<v Speaker 1>his target total quote matched that of Kumarro and Shepard combined.

0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:13.319
<v Speaker 1>So I'll give Lazard the sea here. He was might

0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:15.320
<v Speaker 1>take a chance on me runner up at wide receiver,

0:13:15.400 --> 0:13:17.400
<v Speaker 1>but did not make the cut. I'm actually a little

0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:20.000
<v Speaker 1>shocked that you, with your revenge game and birthday game,

0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.080
<v Speaker 1>didn't even mention that they picked up Ryan Grant this

0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:25.720
<v Speaker 1>week who played for Oakland. That maybe it's some midside.

0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:29.319
<v Speaker 1>Isn't his birthday too? If if it was, then I

0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:32.600
<v Speaker 1>give him an a who is not getting as Jimmy Graham.

0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:34.200
<v Speaker 1>And this is it for Jimmy Graham. If he does

0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:37.160
<v Speaker 1>not douce here, he is his fantasy relevance is dead.

0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:39.400
<v Speaker 1>He should be dropped in every league and never added again.

0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:42.480
<v Speaker 1>Oakland allowing sixty yards per game to tight ends. They've

0:13:42.480 --> 0:13:44.760
<v Speaker 1>allowed three scores to the position over their last four.

0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:47.959
<v Speaker 1>So if Graham doesn't do anything here, cut ties entirely

0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:50.880
<v Speaker 1>for eternity, and Aaron Rodgers just gonna get a sea

0:13:50.960 --> 0:13:54.320
<v Speaker 1>here has a ragtag crew receivers. Uh, it's still Aaron

0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Rodgers at home. Though Oakland has ranked against the past

0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:01.120
<v Speaker 1>by Football Outsiders, they've allowed multip touchdown passes and three

0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:03.400
<v Speaker 1>of five the two quarterbacks who failed to do so

0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:06.079
<v Speaker 1>or Joe Flacco and then Kirk Cousins in a blowout

0:14:06.160 --> 0:14:14.360
<v Speaker 1>win soft. It is a soft see no minus minus.

0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Here's the thing. You go back twelve games. Aaron Rodgers

0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:22.400
<v Speaker 1>is barely a touchdown per game, barely a touchdown per game,

0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:25.120
<v Speaker 1>and you take his number one, number two, number three

0:14:25.160 --> 0:14:28.200
<v Speaker 1>receivers off the field, and then Jimmy Graham's on the field.

0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Those are that's four pretty big strikes against you. I

0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:34.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I can't, I can't advocate starting. There will

0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:36.320

<v Speaker 1>many of whom are available on the waiver wire. When

0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.960
<v Speaker 1>these quarterbacks running back some receivers hit paydirt, you pay

0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:56.840
<v Speaker 1>us nothing, no royalties involved, and take a chance on me.

0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:00.040
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't mind if they did, though, can you? I

0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:04.600
<v Speaker 1>would be nice? Go fund being or something. Let's do yeah,

0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:07.920
<v Speaker 1>let's well, especially hit him and how I didn't earn

0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:10.840
<v Speaker 1>much last week? Maybe not? Well, we'll do better this week,

0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.280
<v Speaker 1>beginning at the quarterback position and Brian Johnson, who you got?

0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:17.400
<v Speaker 1>I got Indies? Jacoby Brissette at home versus versus the Texans. Uh.

0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:20.200
<v Speaker 1>The Texans have partaken in some point orgies over the

0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:22.640
<v Speaker 1>last couple of weeks. Their offense is red hot, and

0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:24.720
<v Speaker 1>so the over under a forty seven and a half

0:16:24.800 --> 0:16:27.520
<v Speaker 1>is very enticing for this game and for the record, UH.

0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:30.360
<v Speaker 1>These teams totaled a hundred and sixteen points across their

0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:32.840
<v Speaker 1>two regular season games last year, so they like to

0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:35.640
<v Speaker 1>run up the score. UH. Jacoby is playing great football.

0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:38.239
<v Speaker 1>He is one of ten quarterbacks with double digit touchdowns

0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:40.280
<v Speaker 1>UH this season. But he's the only one of those

0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:42.320
<v Speaker 1>ten quarterbacks who have his bye week, so he's ahead

0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:44.760
<v Speaker 1>of the pace right now. And Houston owns the second

0:16:44.840 --> 0:16:49.400
<v Speaker 1>highest opponent passing play percentage at precisely, precisely sixty eight

0:16:49.440 --> 0:16:52.640
<v Speaker 1>point zero one percent. Obviously, I'm gonna round that up

0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:56.120
<v Speaker 1>to uh, anyone want to throw in a nice there, fish,

0:16:56.160 --> 0:16:58.880
<v Speaker 1>you're sleeping at the handle. Very nice, not very nice

0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:01.360
<v Speaker 1>at all. And really the text and secondary is not good.

0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:03.520
<v Speaker 1>If they've allowed multiple passing touchdowns and three of their

0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:06.399
<v Speaker 1>last four Kyle Allen was the one quarterback that failed

0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:09.800
<v Speaker 1>to throw multiple pat touchdown passes. Starting corners Bradley Roby

0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:13.320
<v Speaker 1>and Jonathan Joseph are battling injuries, limited in practice all

0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:16.760
<v Speaker 1>week and lastly presented sixth among quarterbacks and rushing attempts.

0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:19.680
<v Speaker 1>And although Houston hasn't truly been tested by mobile quarterback

0:17:19.760 --> 0:17:22.119
<v Speaker 1>this year, they did surrender fifty six rushing yards of

0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Gardner Minshew on six carries, and Matt Ryan rushed for

0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:27.040
<v Speaker 1>a touchdown a couple of weeks ago. Well that's it

0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:30.520
<v Speaker 1>for the segment that is the longest ever. Take a

0:17:30.600 --> 0:17:32.639
<v Speaker 1>chance on me, read out a lot. I don't even

0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:36.160
<v Speaker 1>remember we're talking about anymore, alright, are we redoing it then,

0:17:36.520 --> 0:17:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Who wasn't Jacoby proct Jacoby Prissette. Good heavens man, alright, jeez,

0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:44.640
<v Speaker 1>let me do that one more time. I'll help you charge.

0:17:44.720 --> 0:17:47.280
<v Speaker 1>All right, thank you, Let's we'll zip these along. Good

0:17:47.359 --> 0:17:50.480
<v Speaker 1>heavens Scott, You're take a chance to be quarterback? Is

0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:53.919
<v Speaker 1>I got Daniel Jones? Uh? He? He looked bad over

0:17:53.960 --> 0:17:56.679
<v Speaker 1>the last few weeks. Not bad, but two yards and

0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:58.760
<v Speaker 1>only three touchdowns over the last two weeks. But the

0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Cards are the worst NFL against fantasy quarterbacks. Multiple passing

0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:05.240
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns in all but one game, third, most passing yards,

0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:08.560
<v Speaker 1>have not intercepted a pass yet this year. But wait,

0:18:08.640 --> 0:18:12.640
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Peterson's back. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Patrick Peterson is back.

0:18:12.680 --> 0:18:15.360
<v Speaker 1>But I think it's still gonna be okay for Daniel Jones.

0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Second most passing touchdowns allowed the Cardinals. Cardinals, it's it's

0:18:20.040 --> 0:18:22.520
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be a good matchup. I've got Gardner Minshew

0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:24.720
<v Speaker 1>going up against the Bengals. Bengals are gonna be without

0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:28.720
<v Speaker 1>both starting cornerbacks in this game, Drake Kirkpatrick and William Jackson,

0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:32.560
<v Speaker 1>and the Bengals will let you beat them on the

0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:36.840
<v Speaker 1>ground and through the air. Kyler Murray ninety three rushing

0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:40.480
<v Speaker 1>yards in a rushing score. Lamar Jackson hundred fifty two

0:18:40.600 --> 0:18:43.920
<v Speaker 1>rushing yards and a rushing score against the Bengals. And

0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:45.440
<v Speaker 1>then you can pass on them as well. We saw

0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Jimmy Garoppolo with his only three touchdown game of the year,

0:18:48.200 --> 0:18:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Mason Rudolph through to Gardner Minshew by ground and by air.

0:18:52.000 --> 0:18:55.120
<v Speaker 1>He's fleeting foot, you know, not by sea. Well, I'd

0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:58.120
<v Speaker 1>like to see it happen. It could happen. He could

0:18:58.119 --> 0:19:01.880
<v Speaker 1>get a C grade. And then how about that. Okay,

0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:04.600
<v Speaker 1>it comes around there, Brian, who is you take a

0:19:04.680 --> 0:19:08.080
<v Speaker 1>chance of me? Running back Phillies Miles Sanders at the Cowboys.

0:19:08.200 --> 0:19:10.760
<v Speaker 1>This matchup sets up nicely on paper for Sanders, who

0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:13.720
<v Speaker 1>has established himself as the clear pass catching back over

0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:16.600
<v Speaker 1>their last two games. Here's Phillies target distribution among the

0:19:16.680 --> 0:19:20.480
<v Speaker 1>running backs. Eight for Sanders, one for Darren Sprawls, who's

0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:22.280
<v Speaker 1>not going to play in this game most likely, and

0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:23.680
<v Speaker 1>then that's the end of the list. No one else

0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:26.520
<v Speaker 1>has a target among running backs. So the Cowboys are

0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:29.760
<v Speaker 1>second in targets and red zone targets yielded to running backs.

0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:32.879
<v Speaker 1>They're also second and catches allowed to opposing running backs

0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:36.400
<v Speaker 1>allowing seven catches and fifty yards per game to the position,

0:19:36.760 --> 0:19:39.080
<v Speaker 1>and Sanders should see more than the three carries he

0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:41.920
<v Speaker 1>received in last week's lopside had lost in Minnesota. His

0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:45.040
<v Speaker 1>carry totals in the previous games are nine, eleven, thirteen, ten,

0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:47.640
<v Speaker 1>and eleven. So h Sanders is a solid PPR play

0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:49.040
<v Speaker 1>this week. Alright, I see. I thought you were going

0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:50.840
<v Speaker 1>to go smartass on me and give me like a

0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:55.919
<v Speaker 1>one sentence rationale for Sanders. No, not the case. Scott

0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:58.840
<v Speaker 1>needs more than that. He deserves more than that. He needs.

0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:00.960
<v Speaker 1>He needs Scott, You're take a chance for me? Running

0:20:00.960 --> 0:20:03.280
<v Speaker 1>back is the guy I love this week. I'm going

0:20:03.760 --> 0:20:05.520
<v Speaker 1>I gotta go with my guy. We talked about him

0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:09.000
<v Speaker 1>in January. I've been liking this guy since way before

0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:13.159
<v Speaker 1>the pre draft processing. Devin Singletary. You remember back a

0:20:13.160 --> 0:20:15.440
<v Speaker 1>few weeks ago when I take home Tony Pollard against

0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:17.240
<v Speaker 1>the Dolphins as a second running back and he had

0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:20.679
<v Speaker 1>a hundred plus in a touchdown. Well, that is Devin Singletary.

0:20:20.760 --> 0:20:27.639
<v Speaker 1>This week, he gets those same Miami Dolphins who have

0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:30.480
<v Speaker 1>allowed the most rush attempts, rush yards, receiving yards, total

0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:33.760
<v Speaker 1>yards and receiving touchdowns to running backs. Get this, He's

0:20:33.800 --> 0:20:36.040
<v Speaker 1>only rushed the ball ten times this season. He's healthy

0:20:36.080 --> 0:20:39.800
<v Speaker 1>again now. By the way, ten times this season seven yards,

0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:43.760
<v Speaker 1>that's twelve point seven yards per tempt. Seven of them, yes,

0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:46.400
<v Speaker 1>seven of them went for twelve yards or more. Three

0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:49.000
<v Speaker 1>of them went for over twenty yards. For reference, Christian

0:20:49.040 --> 0:20:52.040
<v Speaker 1>McCaffrey only has three rushes over twenty yards and Devin

0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:54.760
<v Speaker 1>Singletary did it in ten attempts. Give him ten to

0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:57.680
<v Speaker 1>twelve touches in this one against the Dolphins. He's gonna

0:20:57.720 --> 0:20:59.840
<v Speaker 1>play for you. He's going to play, and I love him.

0:20:59.840 --> 0:21:02.840
<v Speaker 1>There's week I've got Matt Breda, who granted is he's

0:21:02.880 --> 0:21:05.399
<v Speaker 1>already rostered on a lot of teams, and I realized that,

0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:07.359
<v Speaker 1>and so it's more just get him off your bench

0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:10.360
<v Speaker 1>in this game against Washington. And yes, Tevin Coleman will

0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:12.159
<v Speaker 1>get we'll get probably a little bit more work and

0:21:12.160 --> 0:21:14.520
<v Speaker 1>probably get the goal line carries, but still plenty to

0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:17.280
<v Speaker 1>go along around here. And and by the way, Matt

0:21:17.280 --> 0:21:21.280
<v Speaker 1>Breed is a lot better then Kevin Coleman. He's just better.

0:21:21.359 --> 0:21:23.240
<v Speaker 1>He's just a better at the two backs. He goes

0:21:23.280 --> 0:21:25.840
<v Speaker 1>up against the Redskins defense that has allowed the seventh

0:21:25.880 --> 0:21:29.720
<v Speaker 1>most fantasy points to running backs. They've allowed six scores

0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:34.080
<v Speaker 1>two runners in their last five games for rank first

0:21:34.440 --> 0:21:37.960
<v Speaker 1>in run ratio. First. There's gonna be plenty of action here.

0:21:38.119 --> 0:21:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Matt Breed is gonna get paid in this one. Let's

0:21:40.200 --> 0:21:43.439
<v Speaker 1>go to the receiver position, Brian, you got all right.

0:21:43.480 --> 0:21:45.919
<v Speaker 1>Here's a guy who's probably not on anybody's teams, but

0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:50.680
<v Speaker 1>that should change. Uh. That is Dallas's Cedric Wilson going

0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:55.240
<v Speaker 1>up against the al right, Amari Cooper very unlikely to play.

0:21:55.320 --> 0:21:57.720
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk about this matchup more later on Randall Cobb

0:21:57.800 --> 0:22:00.240
<v Speaker 1>also unlikely to play, but he's a slot receivers. Drick

0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:03.760
<v Speaker 1>Wilson's an outside guy, a sixth round rookie UH six three,

0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:06.520
<v Speaker 1>as well as good big body if he draws the start,

0:22:06.800 --> 0:22:09.640
<v Speaker 1>arguably walking into the most cake matchup for wide receivers.

0:22:09.640 --> 0:22:12.639
<v Speaker 1>This year, Philly has allowed the most wide receiver touchdowns.

0:22:13.040 --> 0:22:16.240
<v Speaker 1>Six different wide receivers have topped one hundred yards against

0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:19.240
<v Speaker 1>the Eagles. Already, Philly has yielded the third most red

0:22:19.320 --> 0:22:21.639
<v Speaker 1>zone targets and the second most red zone touches to

0:22:21.680 --> 0:22:24.959
<v Speaker 1>opposing wide receivers, and when Cooper went down, it was Wilson,

0:22:24.960 --> 0:22:27.200
<v Speaker 1>who came in with five catches for forty eight yards

0:22:27.200 --> 0:22:29.280
<v Speaker 1>against the Jets. He looked like the next guy up,

0:22:30.080 --> 0:22:32.399
<v Speaker 1>Fire him up. If Mari is out, you know that's

0:22:32.440 --> 0:22:35.240
<v Speaker 1>a good chance he is Scott. You'll take a chance

0:22:35.240 --> 0:22:37.680
<v Speaker 1>to the receiver. I'm going with Jamison Crowder. He has

0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:41.160
<v Speaker 1>twenty six targets in the two games with Donald, resulting

0:22:41.200 --> 0:22:43.840
<v Speaker 1>in twenty catches and nearly a hundred yards in each game.

0:22:44.400 --> 0:22:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Golden take Cole Beasley, Jujudmith, Schuster all had three Hall

0:22:48.000 --> 0:22:51.200
<v Speaker 1>had decent days against the Patriots growing up against Jonathan

0:22:51.280 --> 0:22:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Joseph or Jonathan Jones. In fact, those are the three

0:22:54.080 --> 0:22:57.199
<v Speaker 1>best wide receiver days against the Patriots this year. Uh

0:22:57.320 --> 0:22:59.480
<v Speaker 1>if if crowd is gonna be a lock for eight, nine,

0:22:59.520 --> 0:23:02.119
<v Speaker 1>ten to which he usually is, which he usually is,

0:23:02.200 --> 0:23:04.280
<v Speaker 1>he is he has been this year. Uh, he's going

0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:05.800
<v Speaker 1>to get a C grade for me and a take

0:23:05.840 --> 0:23:09.000
<v Speaker 1>come take on play and available in most leagues. I'm

0:23:09.000 --> 0:23:15.080
<v Speaker 1>sure I don't want to brag, but if you go

0:23:15.320 --> 0:23:20.160
<v Speaker 1>back to Week one, I called Chris Conley's only good

0:23:20.200 --> 0:23:25.040
<v Speaker 1>game of the year, and I'm doing it again calling

0:23:25.080 --> 0:23:28.560
<v Speaker 1>my shot and Chris Conley, despite his zero catch performance

0:23:28.640 --> 0:23:32.800
<v Speaker 1>last week. He's actually the team leader. He by the

0:23:32.800 --> 0:23:35.120
<v Speaker 1>way he plays for the Jaguars. If you're not even

0:23:35.200 --> 0:23:39.480
<v Speaker 1>sure he's your starting receiver opposite DJ Chark, he's the

0:23:39.520 --> 0:23:42.960
<v Speaker 1>team leader in snaps ahead of d J Chark. He

0:23:43.040 --> 0:23:45.159
<v Speaker 1>goes up against the Bengals, already already told you I

0:23:45.200 --> 0:23:47.840
<v Speaker 1>love Gardner Minshew. I told you that without their starting cornerbacks,

0:23:47.840 --> 0:23:50.640
<v Speaker 1>to tell you their backups are. The cornerbacks are gonna

0:23:50.680 --> 0:23:56.960
<v Speaker 1>start for the Bengals. Tony McCrae and Tory mc flat tire. Now,

0:23:57.080 --> 0:24:02.240
<v Speaker 1>how bad are they? Tony McCrae rays as cornerback by

0:24:02.240 --> 0:24:07.760
<v Speaker 1>Pro Football Focus, and Tory mcflat tire was cut by

0:24:07.800 --> 0:24:13.280
<v Speaker 1>the Dolphins. When you're so bad that the Dolphins kick

0:24:13.320 --> 0:24:16.080
<v Speaker 1>you to the curb, you don't belong in the NFL.

0:24:16.280 --> 0:24:19.840
<v Speaker 1>I got a nickname for Tony better than make flat tire. Well,

0:24:19.840 --> 0:24:26.000
<v Speaker 1>no that no McCray, Tony mcmccray up, McClay up. It's

0:24:26.000 --> 0:24:30.560
<v Speaker 1>a clay up to start somebody against him, like Chris Conley.

0:24:32.160 --> 0:24:34.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm listening to that sort of not my best work.

0:24:35.320 --> 0:24:37.480
<v Speaker 1>It was, it was improblem it was improvised. You know

0:24:37.520 --> 0:24:39.840
<v Speaker 1>you're working, you're you're working, your material right now in

0:24:39.880 --> 0:24:42.920
<v Speaker 1>real time on the air. Let's work in one matchup.

0:24:43.119 --> 0:24:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Miami takes on the Buffalo Bills and Scott you already

0:24:46.040 --> 0:24:47.600
<v Speaker 1>told us some of the players on the Bills side

0:24:47.600 --> 0:24:49.399
<v Speaker 1>that we like in this one. But let's go to

0:24:49.400 --> 0:24:53.639
<v Speaker 1>the Miami side. Buffalo's defense is so much better than

0:24:53.680 --> 0:24:55.639
<v Speaker 1>people realize. I've got to believe this is like a

0:24:55.760 --> 0:24:58.720
<v Speaker 1>zero starter. There's not a starter, especially with well I

0:24:58.720 --> 0:25:01.040
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't I'm sorry, but even with ste Beard coming in,

0:25:01.359 --> 0:25:05.560
<v Speaker 1>there's not not a start. It's not happening. Just White

0:25:05.680 --> 0:25:09.400
<v Speaker 1>is gonna knock out either Devontae Parker or Preston Williams

0:25:09.440 --> 0:25:11.920
<v Speaker 1>that they can they can cover him, no problem, start,

0:25:11.960 --> 0:25:14.440
<v Speaker 1>no one here, so real quick. Sorry. The Dolphins give

0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:17.639
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Tanneinghill like seven years to try and to become

0:25:17.720 --> 0:25:20.800
<v Speaker 1>something and Josh Rosen gets three starts and then they

0:25:20.880 --> 0:25:22.840
<v Speaker 1>kick him to the her. Maybe they're just trying to

0:25:22.920 --> 0:25:26.920
<v Speaker 1>not wreck Rosen. No, I'm serious. I'm kind of serious

0:25:26.920 --> 0:25:28.960
<v Speaker 1>about that. I think they might be benching him out

0:25:28.960 --> 0:25:32.959
<v Speaker 1>of mercy for his career. Yeah, he's had he's had

0:25:33.000 --> 0:25:35.320
<v Speaker 1>a rough go, a lot of a lot of situations.

0:25:36.320 --> 0:25:39.480
<v Speaker 1>On the other side, though, Josh Allen just to smash

0:25:39.560 --> 0:25:42.760
<v Speaker 1>a start here against the Miami Dolphins, second worst against quarterbacks.

0:25:43.280 --> 0:25:45.919
<v Speaker 1>Alan has multiple passing touchdowns in five last six, but

0:25:46.000 --> 0:25:50.240
<v Speaker 1>get this last year against Miami nine rushing and nine

0:25:50.320 --> 0:25:54.040
<v Speaker 1>for and two rushing two touchdowns. Those are some big

0:25:54.119 --> 0:25:56.960
<v Speaker 1>rushing days. He also threw two and three touchdown passes

0:25:57.000 --> 0:26:00.359
<v Speaker 1>in those games, respectively. It's just a great matchup for him.

0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:02.919
<v Speaker 1>Already mentioned Singletary love him as a tay com I

0:26:03.000 --> 0:26:08.760
<v Speaker 1>even like I even like bore Gore. Bore Gore has

0:26:08.760 --> 0:26:11.280
<v Speaker 1>sixteen or more touches in every game since Week one.

0:26:11.400 --> 0:26:14.800
<v Speaker 1>Running Backs with at least fourteen touches against Miami average

0:26:15.520 --> 0:26:18.119
<v Speaker 1>ten total yards. What do you think the touch the

0:26:18.240 --> 0:26:21.080
<v Speaker 1>carry distribution will be between Singletary and Gore and this

0:26:21.320 --> 0:26:23.600
<v Speaker 1>juicy matchup with Miami. This is a team I think

0:26:23.680 --> 0:26:25.879
<v Speaker 1>runs the ball thirty plus times in this game, so

0:26:26.200 --> 0:26:29.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm not too worried about it. You think it's I

0:26:29.720 --> 0:26:32.879
<v Speaker 1>think it's probably more likely an eighteen twelve type of

0:26:32.880 --> 0:26:38.840
<v Speaker 1>Gore to Singletary thing. But onto the wide receivers, I

0:26:38.880 --> 0:26:41.760
<v Speaker 1>think Brown can have a decent day here. No Bills

0:26:41.760 --> 0:26:44.360
<v Speaker 1>receiver has top seventy five yards since Week two that's

0:26:44.359 --> 0:26:47.720
<v Speaker 1>a little rough. With Duke Williams coming in last week,

0:26:47.880 --> 0:26:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Brown still remained the guy, so I think he has

0:26:51.240 --> 0:26:54.000
<v Speaker 1>some options here against a week Miami defense. But the

0:26:54.040 --> 0:26:58.160
<v Speaker 1>other guys, Beasley, Duke Williams, I can't trust them yet.

0:26:58.160 --> 0:27:00.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm mentioning all of them all right, Um, I don't

0:27:00.880 --> 0:27:03.280
<v Speaker 1>play this. It's start all. It's basically as simple as this,

0:27:03.440 --> 0:27:08.080
<v Speaker 1>start all your all your bills, Ben. Yeah. Well, and

0:27:08.880 --> 0:27:10.320
<v Speaker 1>oddly there are there are a few of the matter.

0:28:36.359 --> 0:28:41.840
<v Speaker 1>for podcasts, the radio app. Vikings take on the Lions.

0:28:42.040 --> 0:28:44.480
<v Speaker 1>For the Viking side, you want to watch the status

0:28:44.480 --> 0:28:47.200
<v Speaker 1>of left tackle Riley Reef, who comes into this one

0:28:47.320 --> 0:28:50.680
<v Speaker 1>is a probable game time decision um obviously if he

0:28:50.760 --> 0:28:52.680
<v Speaker 1>is not able to go, all the Vikings take a

0:28:52.680 --> 0:28:55.200
<v Speaker 1>bit of a step backwards here. Dalvin Cook is an

0:28:55.240 --> 0:28:58.320
<v Speaker 1>obviously regardless, He's got a lifetime average of six yards

0:28:58.320 --> 0:29:01.520
<v Speaker 1>per carry against Detroit. There's nothing, There's no part of

0:29:01.600 --> 0:29:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Detroit that's going to dissuade you from starting him. And

0:29:03.560 --> 0:29:06.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to ease an obvious a grade. As

0:29:06.360 --> 0:29:09.040
<v Speaker 1>for the passing game, I've got B grades beginning with

0:29:09.160 --> 0:29:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Kirk Cousins left for dead as recently as two weeks ago,

0:29:12.640 --> 0:29:15.600
<v Speaker 1>has another good opportunity against the Lions. Now, I know

0:29:15.720 --> 0:29:19.240
<v Speaker 1>the Lions held Patrick Mahomes scoreless in Week four, and

0:29:19.320 --> 0:29:21.400
<v Speaker 1>so there's a temptation to think they're better than they are,

0:29:21.440 --> 0:29:23.880
<v Speaker 1>but they're mostly the middle of the pack defense. They

0:29:23.920 --> 0:29:27.200
<v Speaker 1>can be beaten. Four of the five passers they've faced

0:29:27.480 --> 0:29:30.520
<v Speaker 1>have top two hundred eighty yards. Three of the five

0:29:30.560 --> 0:29:34.560
<v Speaker 1>have thrown multiple touchdown passes. With the Lions unable to

0:29:34.600 --> 0:29:36.680
<v Speaker 1>generate much of a pass rush, they've got just ten

0:29:36.720 --> 0:29:39.600
<v Speaker 1>sacks on the whole season. By the way, what what

0:29:39.920 --> 0:29:45.040
<v Speaker 1>How many sacks did Denver allowed? Seven just on Thursday night?

0:29:45.080 --> 0:29:50.160
<v Speaker 1>I think so, yeah, nine times? I thought was it?

0:29:50.400 --> 0:29:55.040
<v Speaker 1>In fact, I believe it wasn't nine times? And I

0:29:55.040 --> 0:29:58.000
<v Speaker 1>guess maybe I just may I lost it. After after

0:29:58.120 --> 0:30:01.200
<v Speaker 1>seven you start to lose track. I think Cousins should

0:30:01.200 --> 0:30:02.960
<v Speaker 1>be comfortable in the pocket, which has been the case

0:30:03.000 --> 0:30:05.120
<v Speaker 1>for two straight weeks. His Cousins played at a high level,

0:30:05.120 --> 0:30:07.640
<v Speaker 1>and that's really the whole bit on Cousins startable when

0:30:07.680 --> 0:30:10.000
<v Speaker 1>he's comfortable in the pocket. So there you go, and

0:30:10.040 --> 0:30:12.160
<v Speaker 1>Adam thelands his number one target, who also gets a

0:30:12.200 --> 0:30:14.719
<v Speaker 1>B grade. He runs out of the slot more than

0:30:14.760 --> 0:30:16.880
<v Speaker 1>any other Viking receiver and that gives him the most

0:30:16.960 --> 0:30:20.480
<v Speaker 1>favorable matchup on the field. Every single wide receiver touchdown

0:30:20.480 --> 0:30:23.200
<v Speaker 1>the Lions have given up has come from the slot,

0:30:24.560 --> 0:30:29.120
<v Speaker 1>including Alan Lizard mentioned last segment out of the slot.

0:30:29.480 --> 0:30:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Theeland's track record, I'll mention though in this matchup is spotty.

0:30:33.160 --> 0:30:38.760
<v Speaker 1>In ten matchups with the Lions, He's only scored one time. Nevertheless,

0:30:38.800 --> 0:30:41.040
<v Speaker 1>I like the match up here. He will avoid the

0:30:41.160 --> 0:30:45.440
<v Speaker 1>slag ride that Stefon Diggs will suffer, and that's why

0:30:45.480 --> 0:30:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Digs is a C grade even after the big game

0:30:47.560 --> 0:30:51.280
<v Speaker 1>last week. Darius Slay is great. He's only allowing forty

0:30:51.320 --> 0:30:55.480
<v Speaker 1>one yards per game now. No, as I mentioned, no

0:30:55.560 --> 0:30:57.920
<v Speaker 1>outside receivers scored on the Lions all years, so there's

0:30:57.960 --> 0:31:00.840
<v Speaker 1>that as well. But let's watch Darius Slays hamstring injury

0:31:00.880 --> 0:31:04.440
<v Speaker 1>for any reason. Slay can't go screen light on Stefon Digg,

0:31:04.560 --> 0:31:07.480
<v Speaker 1>so uh Slay is dealing with that injury. Will watch him.

0:31:07.720 --> 0:31:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the Lion side, beginning with krry On

0:31:10.760 --> 0:31:13.120
<v Speaker 1>Johnson in the midst of a disappointing season, and I

0:31:13.520 --> 0:31:16.600
<v Speaker 1>in all fairness. I was. I thought he was sitting

0:31:16.600 --> 0:31:18.840
<v Speaker 1>on a much better season that he's had so far,

0:31:18.880 --> 0:31:21.480
<v Speaker 1>and it just has not worked out. Johnson is just

0:31:21.600 --> 0:31:24.960
<v Speaker 1>one game of more than fifty rushing yards. He's put

0:31:25.040 --> 0:31:28.440
<v Speaker 1>up a dismal thirty eight yard performance in his one

0:31:28.480 --> 0:31:31.880
<v Speaker 1>game against the Vikings last year. Minnesota's allowed just four

0:31:31.960 --> 0:31:34.560
<v Speaker 1>rushing scores to backs in their last twelve road games.

0:31:34.600 --> 0:31:36.800
<v Speaker 1>The Vikings are a good road run defense as well.

0:31:37.600 --> 0:31:40.240
<v Speaker 1>It's there's nothing to like here there the Vikings giving

0:31:40.280 --> 0:31:41.960
<v Speaker 1>up just three point yards per carry. I've got a

0:31:42.000 --> 0:31:44.040
<v Speaker 1>C grade on carry and Johnson most just mostly just

0:31:44.120 --> 0:31:47.160
<v Speaker 1>due to volume. Honestly, he should be in the twenty

0:31:47.280 --> 0:31:50.200
<v Speaker 1>ish Carrie range and that's the only reason that he

0:31:50.280 --> 0:31:52.320
<v Speaker 1>still gets a C grade. Let's go to the passing game.

0:31:53.640 --> 0:31:57.160
<v Speaker 1>Matthew Stafford's last two games featured zero touchdown passes and

0:31:58.280 --> 0:32:03.040
<v Speaker 1>sixteen yards and one yard. That's it. No bad uh.

0:32:03.080 --> 0:32:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota has held him to zero or one touchdowns in

0:32:06.440 --> 0:32:09.840
<v Speaker 1>four of his last five meetings. So and what else

0:32:09.920 --> 0:32:12.120
<v Speaker 1>is hurting staff At his low volume, He's averaging only

0:32:12.160 --> 0:32:15.120
<v Speaker 1>thirty one passes per game, and since the overtime game

0:32:15.120 --> 0:32:17.160
<v Speaker 1>and the opener. Since then, thirty one passes per game.

0:32:17.160 --> 0:32:19.760
<v Speaker 1>It's just enough, just not enough passes to get much done.

0:32:20.000 --> 0:32:23.040
<v Speaker 1>So just the C grade on Matthew Stafford here. Even

0:32:23.080 --> 0:32:24.760
<v Speaker 1>if you got to start a receiver, the only one

0:32:24.800 --> 0:32:28.040
<v Speaker 1>I like particularly is Kenny Golladay. She has been absolutely

0:32:28.120 --> 0:32:32.080
<v Speaker 1>matchup proof this year. One receiving yards and or a

0:32:32.160 --> 0:32:35.360
<v Speaker 1>touchdown in four of five games. For Golliday, I think

0:32:35.400 --> 0:32:38.600
<v Speaker 1>you have to temper your expectations because he's never exceeded

0:32:38.600 --> 0:32:41.840
<v Speaker 1>sixty one yards or scored against the Vikings. Ever, he's

0:32:41.840 --> 0:32:45.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna draw Xavier Rhodes for most of this game. Rhodes

0:32:45.400 --> 0:32:47.600
<v Speaker 1>has played better than the last few games, so I'm

0:32:47.640 --> 0:32:49.960
<v Speaker 1>nervous about Holiday here. But a B grade just on

0:32:50.040 --> 0:32:54.520
<v Speaker 1>talent and because he's been so productive this year. After

0:32:54.760 --> 0:32:57.160
<v Speaker 1>him and the only other guy that gets a starting

0:32:57.160 --> 0:32:59.920
<v Speaker 1>grade is t J. Hockenson. Tight ends are averaging eleve

0:33:00.040 --> 0:33:02.760
<v Speaker 1>ben targets per game against the Vikings. And get this,

0:33:03.640 --> 0:33:07.400
<v Speaker 1>over the last two weeks the Vikings have given have

0:33:07.640 --> 0:33:10.120
<v Speaker 1>tight ends against the Vikings have been targeted twenty nine

0:33:10.120 --> 0:33:15.280
<v Speaker 1>times and they've caught twenty nine passes. That's unbelievable. The

0:33:15.360 --> 0:33:17.640
<v Speaker 1>Vikings have allowed the fifth most yards to tight ends

0:33:17.680 --> 0:33:20.240
<v Speaker 1>but have yet to UH yet to surrender a touchdown.

0:33:20.520 --> 0:33:22.840
<v Speaker 1>So I've got a C grade on t J Hockenson

0:33:23.000 --> 0:33:25.800
<v Speaker 1>in this one. Marvin Jonson's on the bench. He's he

0:33:25.840 --> 0:33:28.320
<v Speaker 1>has been Fantasy irrelevant, and I don't like his matchup

0:33:28.400 --> 0:33:32.360
<v Speaker 1>against Trey Waynes. Let's go to our next matchup, Houston

0:33:32.520 --> 0:33:38.240
<v Speaker 1>taking on Indianapolis. Brian uh. This is a Houston team

0:33:38.280 --> 0:33:41.000
<v Speaker 1>that has got people very frustrated and flummixed with their

0:33:41.040 --> 0:33:45.160
<v Speaker 1>wide receivers, Will Fuller and DeAndre Hopkins. How do you

0:33:45.160 --> 0:33:48.120
<v Speaker 1>feel about the passing game in this one in particular?

0:33:48.560 --> 0:33:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Before we get into that, it's worth noting these teams

0:33:50.840 --> 0:33:53.480
<v Speaker 1>played three times last year, the two regular season meetings

0:33:53.560 --> 0:33:55.480
<v Speaker 1>and then in the in the playoffs. Okay, so I

0:33:55.640 --> 0:33:57.720
<v Speaker 1>I get the feeling there's some good historic data. There

0:33:57.880 --> 0:34:00.200
<v Speaker 1>is some good historic data here. We'll start with the

0:34:00.200 --> 0:34:02.760
<v Speaker 1>wide receivers that you alluded to. DeAndre Hopkins. He gotta

0:34:02.840 --> 0:34:05.120
<v Speaker 1>keep riding him. As frustrating as it's been, I'm gonna

0:34:05.120 --> 0:34:06.800
<v Speaker 1>give him an a here. He scored in both the

0:34:06.840 --> 0:34:10.000
<v Speaker 1>regular seasons and games last year against UH Indie, but

0:34:10.080 --> 0:34:12.399
<v Speaker 1>he was held under forty yards in the playoff game

0:34:12.440 --> 0:34:15.040
<v Speaker 1>with no touchdown. And in the Week thirteen game. But

0:34:15.120 --> 0:34:18.160
<v Speaker 1>the very comparable number one receivers like Keenan Allen Julio

0:34:18.239 --> 0:34:20.319
<v Speaker 1>Jones both top two hundred tony yards and scored a

0:34:20.360 --> 0:34:22.560
<v Speaker 1>touchdown against the Colts this year. So just continue to

0:34:22.600 --> 0:34:25.200
<v Speaker 1>give Hopkins the a treatment and everything will work out fine,

0:34:25.239 --> 0:34:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I promise. Uh if it will. Fuller could give a

0:34:27.680 --> 0:34:29.960
<v Speaker 1>b here. Uh. The Colts will be without starting safety

0:34:30.000 --> 0:34:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Malik Hooker, who was the quarterback of their secondary. Fuller

0:34:33.400 --> 0:34:35.520
<v Speaker 1>was only healthy for the first meeting between these teams

0:34:35.600 --> 0:34:37.400
<v Speaker 1>last year. He did have four catches for forty nine

0:34:37.440 --> 0:34:39.960
<v Speaker 1>yards and a touchdown, and the Colts have allowed at

0:34:40.040 --> 0:34:43.120
<v Speaker 1>least seventy five yards to two wide receivers on the

0:34:43.160 --> 0:34:45.600
<v Speaker 1>same team in two of their last three games. So

0:34:45.800 --> 0:34:49.960
<v Speaker 1>fire up Hopkins and Fuller, maybe even Kiki Cuti. Cutie

0:34:50.000 --> 0:34:52.040
<v Speaker 1>played in two of the three games last year, the

0:34:52.080 --> 0:34:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Week four game and then the playoff games, so he

0:34:53.920 --> 0:34:56.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of book ended the matchups. His lines were eleven

0:34:56.840 --> 0:34:58.880
<v Speaker 1>catches for a hundred and ten yards in a touchdown

0:34:59.160 --> 0:35:01.320
<v Speaker 1>and eleven catch is for a hundred and nine yards.

0:35:02.040 --> 0:35:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Eleven catches are a lock, but you just kidding. Kenny

0:35:05.239 --> 0:35:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Stills might make his return to that really muddies those waters.

0:35:08.719 --> 0:35:11.479
<v Speaker 1>If Stills comes back, cut end still is on the bench.

0:35:11.600 --> 0:35:13.600
<v Speaker 1>If Stills is out, will give QTI the sea here

0:35:14.560 --> 0:35:16.800
<v Speaker 1>and the tight ends are worth talking about in Houston

0:35:16.880 --> 0:35:20.399
<v Speaker 1>for once. How about the Houston tight end. Houston has

0:35:20.440 --> 0:35:22.920
<v Speaker 1>the most tight ends in football right now, most total

0:35:22.920 --> 0:35:26.160
<v Speaker 1>tighten most total that could be true, but the most

0:35:26.200 --> 0:35:31.200
<v Speaker 1>total tight end touchdowns. Okay, touchdown, that's a mouthful. They're

0:35:31.200 --> 0:35:34.320
<v Speaker 1>also top eight and tight end yards. Uh. Darren Fells

0:35:34.360 --> 0:35:36.919
<v Speaker 1>and Jordan Aikins have both been producing as of late,

0:35:36.960 --> 0:35:39.000
<v Speaker 1>but Fells has been the alpha dog. Over the last

0:35:39.000 --> 0:35:42.360
<v Speaker 1>four games. He has six catches for sixty nine nice yards,

0:35:42.560 --> 0:35:45.160
<v Speaker 1>then two catches for twenty yards and two touchdowns. He

0:35:45.200 --> 0:35:47.000
<v Speaker 1>did have one dud in the span with one catch

0:35:47.040 --> 0:35:49.879
<v Speaker 1>for twelve yards, but then uh, the fourth game five

0:35:49.920 --> 0:35:52.600
<v Speaker 1>catches for forty nine yards and a touchdown, and opposing

0:35:52.640 --> 0:35:56.040
<v Speaker 1>tight ends are averaging nine targets, six plus catches and

0:35:56.160 --> 0:35:59.560
<v Speaker 1>sixty seven yards against the Colts with three total touchdowns.

0:35:59.560 --> 0:36:01.839
<v Speaker 1>So Darren Fells gets a starting grade with the Sea

0:36:01.920 --> 0:36:04.040
<v Speaker 1>here and Deshaun Watson, I'm just gonna give him an

0:36:04.080 --> 0:36:06.480
<v Speaker 1>a not get into that at all. He's in an

0:36:06.520 --> 0:36:09.359
<v Speaker 1>elite spot here. Over the Colt side, Marlon Mack can

0:36:09.400 --> 0:36:11.720
<v Speaker 1>give him a B. Had been nursing an ankle injury,

0:36:11.719 --> 0:36:14.239
<v Speaker 1>but should be fully healthy coming off the bye week

0:36:14.280 --> 0:36:17.360
<v Speaker 1>for the Colts. Houston has surrendered the most receptions running

0:36:17.360 --> 0:36:20.080
<v Speaker 1>backs this season as well. Nine Hines could steal some

0:36:20.120 --> 0:36:22.160
<v Speaker 1>of that work, but Mac does get third down work,

0:36:22.200 --> 0:36:24.280
<v Speaker 1>and for what it's worth, he scored a rushing touchdown

0:36:24.440 --> 0:36:27.800
<v Speaker 1>in all three meetings with the Texans last year. Who

0:36:27.920 --> 0:36:29.759
<v Speaker 1>has scored a lot of touchdowns against the Texans in

0:36:29.800 --> 0:36:33.759
<v Speaker 1>his career is t Y Hilton. He's my number one

0:36:33.800 --> 0:36:36.600
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver play this week. Yeah, I'm just gonna say

0:36:36.640 --> 0:36:39.239
<v Speaker 1>his lines in the three games UH from last year.

0:36:39.680 --> 0:36:41.800
<v Speaker 1>In previous years he'd be putting up like two hundred

0:36:41.880 --> 0:36:43.520
<v Speaker 1>yards and three touchdowns in some of these games. The

0:36:43.600 --> 0:36:47.280
<v Speaker 1>last year five for eighty five, nine hundred and fifteen.

0:36:47.400 --> 0:36:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Very safe floor, very high ceiling. There have been five

0:36:50.680 --> 0:36:53.680
<v Speaker 1>players that have seen seven plus targets UH, five wide

0:36:53.719 --> 0:36:56.279
<v Speaker 1>receivers and he seven plus targets against the Texans this year.

0:36:56.320 --> 0:36:58.440
<v Speaker 1>They've combined to average eight catches for a hundred and

0:36:58.480 --> 0:37:02.520
<v Speaker 1>six yards and six total touchdowns. Those five wide receivers.

0:37:02.760 --> 0:37:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Hilton's gonna see seven plus targets in this game. I

0:37:05.160 --> 0:37:09.520
<v Speaker 1>brought it out Paris Campbell, Dion Kane, Zach Pascal. One

0:37:09.520 --> 0:37:11.000
<v Speaker 1>of these guys is going to produce, but I don't

0:37:11.000 --> 0:37:13.759
<v Speaker 1>know which, so that's impossible to decode. So they're all

0:37:13.760 --> 0:37:16.400
<v Speaker 1>on the bench, so is Eric Ebron and Jack Doyle.

0:37:17.120 --> 0:37:19.080
<v Speaker 1>I would go Doyle if I had to pick one,

0:37:19.120 --> 0:37:21.200
<v Speaker 1>but this is just a bad matchup. Doyles on the

0:37:21.239 --> 0:37:23.719
<v Speaker 1>field like three quarters of the play, and you know,

0:37:24.440 --> 0:37:26.640
<v Speaker 1>for Ebron, you if you don't get the touchdown, you

0:37:26.680 --> 0:37:29.279
<v Speaker 1>get nothing, and you can't trust him to catch the ball.

0:37:29.360 --> 0:37:31.640
<v Speaker 1>Houston has surrendered the fourth viewest yards at tight ends

0:37:31.760 --> 0:37:34.600
<v Speaker 1>zero touchdowns to the position. They're both easily on the bench,

0:37:34.800 --> 0:37:36.480
<v Speaker 1>but I did have Jacobe said it's might take a

0:37:36.560 --> 0:37:38.759
<v Speaker 1>chance to me quarterback. I think t Y Hilton has

0:37:38.880 --> 0:37:43.959
<v Speaker 1>enough to carry him to two touchdowns probably. I love Hilton,

0:37:44.120 --> 0:37:46.600
<v Speaker 1>by the way, good trade candidate as well, because that

0:37:46.719 --> 0:37:49.800
<v Speaker 1>nagging injury really suppressed a lot of his value, and

0:37:49.800 --> 0:37:51.200
<v Speaker 1>then you sort of forget about a guy. In the

0:37:51.239 --> 0:37:54.040
<v Speaker 1>bye week, it's a good time to buy on t

0:37:54.280 --> 0:37:58.279
<v Speaker 1>Y Hilton. Jacksonville takes on Cincinnati and I've already I've

0:37:58.320 --> 0:38:00.960
<v Speaker 1>already talked to fair amount about to the Jacksonville see

0:38:00.960 --> 0:38:03.120
<v Speaker 1>because I love Gardner Minshew. Who's might take a chance

0:38:03.120 --> 0:38:05.479
<v Speaker 1>of me? Quarterback? By the way on that Yeah, Carl

0:38:05.560 --> 0:38:08.359
<v Speaker 1>Lawson and Carlos Downe that both likely to miss as well.

0:38:08.760 --> 0:38:12.360
<v Speaker 1>So who's gonna be rushing Minshew? Nobody? It's it's crazy,

0:38:12.640 --> 0:38:15.720
<v Speaker 1>you know we talked earlier. Drake Kirkpatrick is out starting cornerback.

0:38:15.760 --> 0:38:18.799
<v Speaker 1>The other starting quarterback, William Jackson out. They're gonna be

0:38:18.800 --> 0:38:22.640
<v Speaker 1>starting Tony McCrae and Tory mctire. D J Chark A

0:38:22.920 --> 0:38:25.680
<v Speaker 1>grade for d J h R. This feels like a

0:38:25.719 --> 0:38:29.560
<v Speaker 1>fantastic opportunity for him against that injury plague secondary and

0:38:29.600 --> 0:38:32.280
<v Speaker 1>obviously he's been very good in every game until last week,

0:38:32.760 --> 0:38:34.920
<v Speaker 1>so he's he's gotten a grade. Chris Conley was might

0:38:34.960 --> 0:38:36.880
<v Speaker 1>take a chance of me wide receiver with a C grade,

0:38:37.800 --> 0:38:39.920
<v Speaker 1>let's go to you know he's on the bench. I

0:38:39.960 --> 0:38:43.800
<v Speaker 1>found it. I found a Jaguar de bench d D

0:38:44.040 --> 0:38:49.439
<v Speaker 1>Westbrook five straight games. Thought a score heavy dud opportunity here,

0:38:49.560 --> 0:38:52.759
<v Speaker 1>even with with Kirkpatrick and Jackson out, those guys are

0:38:52.840 --> 0:38:55.680
<v Speaker 1>outside cornerbacks and Westbrook runs from the slot where he

0:38:55.719 --> 0:39:00.959
<v Speaker 1>gets solid slot cornerback B W. Webb. You know that's

0:39:01.000 --> 0:39:04.480
<v Speaker 1>just that's the path of most resistance goes through D. D. Westbrook.

0:39:05.040 --> 0:39:07.960
<v Speaker 1>People always talk about the path of least resistance. Nobody

0:39:08.000 --> 0:39:11.359
<v Speaker 1>wants to talk about the path of most resistance. That's

0:39:11.440 --> 0:39:13.120
<v Speaker 1>D D. Westbrook, who's on the bench. Let's go to

0:39:13.400 --> 0:39:16.560
<v Speaker 1>Leo Fournette. Bengals allowing the second most yards and the

0:39:16.719 --> 0:39:19.560
<v Speaker 1>most touchdowns to opposing running backs on the ground. For

0:39:19.719 --> 0:39:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Nott has got at least four receptions in five or

0:39:21.960 --> 0:39:25.640
<v Speaker 1>six games, and Cincinnati is allowing the fifth most receptions

0:39:25.680 --> 0:39:28.920
<v Speaker 1>and the second most yards and touchdowns to opposing receiving backs.

0:39:29.239 --> 0:39:33.680
<v Speaker 1>It's an awesome, awesome start for Leonard four Net wouldn't

0:39:33.680 --> 0:39:36.120
<v Speaker 1>be surprised if he finishes the day as the highest

0:39:36.280 --> 0:39:40.520
<v Speaker 1>scoring fantasy running back. Let's go to the Cincinnati side.

0:39:40.719 --> 0:39:42.440
<v Speaker 1>I've only got two starters for you. One of them

0:39:42.440 --> 0:39:47.160
<v Speaker 1>is Joe Mixon. Now mixing is only really to this point,

0:39:47.160 --> 0:39:50.080
<v Speaker 1>He's only been capable of generating a decent fantasy game

0:39:50.400 --> 0:39:56.240
<v Speaker 1>against the worst defenses in the league. Guess what Jacksonville

0:39:56.360 --> 0:40:01.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of qualifies. They're giving up the fifth most rushing yards,

0:40:01.640 --> 0:40:05.360
<v Speaker 1>the second most yards per carry five point four yards

0:40:05.360 --> 0:40:09.120
<v Speaker 1>per carry for Jacksonville. Maybe Derrick Henry broke them the

0:40:09.160 --> 0:40:11.880
<v Speaker 1>end of last year. Maybe that's maybe that's dead. So

0:40:12.200 --> 0:40:14.839
<v Speaker 1>Joe Mixon startable here. I've got a B grade on him.

0:40:15.200 --> 0:40:18.080
<v Speaker 1>Jack again, Jaguars defense, it's not it's not that your

0:40:18.080 --> 0:40:20.560
<v Speaker 1>father's knowledge. It's not only you could have a one

0:40:20.600 --> 0:40:23.480
<v Speaker 1>year old and pointing go him. It's not his. It's

0:40:23.480 --> 0:40:27.480
<v Speaker 1>not Jags defense that recovered every single fumble. They can

0:40:27.600 --> 0:40:30.440
<v Speaker 1>remember that. Uh. The only other starting grade I've got

0:40:30.440 --> 0:40:32.600
<v Speaker 1>his Tyler Boyd, who has now seen seven or fewer

0:40:32.680 --> 0:40:35.800
<v Speaker 1>targets and two of his last three games, Jacksonville hasn't

0:40:35.840 --> 0:40:37.960
<v Speaker 1>allowed a score to an imposing receiver in their last

0:40:38.000 --> 0:40:41.360
<v Speaker 1>two games, and They're only glaring weakness is cornerback Trey Herndon,

0:40:41.560 --> 0:40:45.080
<v Speaker 1>who Boyd won't see. Unfortunately, he's gonna see d J. Hayden,

0:40:45.080 --> 0:40:47.719
<v Speaker 1>who yielded three catches for sixteen scoreless yards over the

0:40:47.800 --> 0:40:49.800
<v Speaker 1>last two weeks. I know it's all bad news on Boyd,

0:40:49.800 --> 0:40:52.719
<v Speaker 1>but I think he's the only quasi startable guy out

0:40:52.719 --> 0:40:54.759
<v Speaker 1>of all of this. Because I can't start Audent Tate

0:40:54.840 --> 0:40:58.480
<v Speaker 1>and I'm not starting alex ericson either. In fact, forget it,

0:40:58.600 --> 0:41:00.680
<v Speaker 1>Tyler Boyd's going on the bench to the whole passing

0:41:00.680 --> 0:41:03.399
<v Speaker 1>offenses on the bench. Dalton's had three good Fantasy games

0:41:03.400 --> 0:41:06.160
<v Speaker 1>and three bad Fantasy games. This one leads towards bad

0:41:06.160 --> 0:41:08.239
<v Speaker 1>even without Jalen Ramsey, and people will be like, oh,

0:41:08.320 --> 0:41:09.960
<v Speaker 1>thout Jalen Ramsey. We can do whatever we want on

0:41:10.000 --> 0:41:12.560
<v Speaker 1>that defense. No you can't. It's still gonna be a

0:41:12.560 --> 0:41:16.480
<v Speaker 1>tricky matchup, and I don't trust the wobbly offense in Cincinnati.

0:41:16.520 --> 0:41:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Take advantage. I know a lot of people are enamored

0:41:18.680 --> 0:41:23.080
<v Speaker 1>with Audent Tate finally uh, finally producing. Yeah, that's right.

0:41:23.440 --> 0:41:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Tell people about this the I love this bit. The

0:41:28.120 --> 0:41:33.120
<v Speaker 1>scientific notation for gold is AU and Auden Tate with

0:41:33.280 --> 0:41:36.440
<v Speaker 1>if we switched the AU to gold would be Golden Tate,

0:41:36.600 --> 0:41:41.000
<v Speaker 1>Golden Tate tated Tates in the league. I noticed that

0:41:41.040 --> 0:41:44.120
<v Speaker 1>this week and I'm like, what, that's unbelievable. A J.

0:41:44.200 --> 0:41:48.160
<v Speaker 1>Bouye probably hammers him. So that's probably the end of that. Um,

0:41:48.239 --> 0:41:51.200
<v Speaker 1>we've got one matchup left for this segment, Arizona taking

0:41:51.200 --> 0:41:53.880
<v Speaker 1>on the Giants. We've got three minutes. I think you

0:41:53.920 --> 0:41:57.120
<v Speaker 1>can do it. Scott. Okay, let's do it. I'm gonna

0:41:57.160 --> 0:41:59.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna start with the home team here, taking Jones

0:41:59.719 --> 0:42:02.440
<v Speaker 1>as my take. M So don't even talk about him.

0:42:02.960 --> 0:42:08.360
<v Speaker 1>Golden Tate, as we just mentioned to another, is not

0:42:08.360 --> 0:42:11.080
<v Speaker 1>going to get Patrick Peterson as in the later years.

0:42:11.120 --> 0:42:14.279
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Peterson has not moved into this lot quite as much.

0:42:14.480 --> 0:42:16.359
<v Speaker 1>I think he's going to avoid him, and he might

0:42:16.400 --> 0:42:20.560
<v Speaker 1>be c startable here against the Arizona Cardinals. That that

0:42:20.680 --> 0:42:23.600
<v Speaker 1>might be where Jones gets some of his yardage. Uh.

0:42:23.719 --> 0:42:26.640
<v Speaker 1>The other wide receivers though, no thanks, just Slayton Shepherd,

0:42:26.760 --> 0:42:29.160
<v Speaker 1>none of them. Don't don't see other Shepherd by the way,

0:42:29.200 --> 0:42:34.200
<v Speaker 1>not Sterling, yes, Sterling, Darius Shepherd. The rookie Evan Ingram

0:42:34.280 --> 0:42:36.919
<v Speaker 1>a grade. As everyone said in the Giant's bad tight

0:42:37.040 --> 0:42:40.160
<v Speaker 1>end here death taxes and tight ends against Arizona Cardinals.

0:42:41.360 --> 0:42:44.120
<v Speaker 1>I forgot crushed but didn't do anything but against them.

0:42:44.120 --> 0:42:47.280
<v Speaker 1>But Evan is much better. Barkley's in a grade hundred

0:42:47.320 --> 0:42:49.799
<v Speaker 1>thirty seven total yards in each of his first two

0:42:49.880 --> 0:42:53.200
<v Speaker 1>full games that he played this year. Uh. Joneses mobility

0:42:53.239 --> 0:42:55.200
<v Speaker 1>should open things up a little more for Barkley here

0:42:55.200 --> 0:42:58.279
<v Speaker 1>as well. A grade there on the Arizona side given

0:42:58.280 --> 0:43:02.600
<v Speaker 1>an A to Murray. I'm glad he's finally regressing back

0:43:02.640 --> 0:43:04.319
<v Speaker 1>to the met with those touchdowns. He was the first

0:43:04.400 --> 0:43:07.680
<v Speaker 1>quarterback to have yards passing and two hundred yards rushing

0:43:07.760 --> 0:43:10.839
<v Speaker 1>in NFL history. The taildowns were coming. He only had

0:43:10.880 --> 0:43:13.160
<v Speaker 1>four touchdowns his first five games. They were gonna come,

0:43:13.360 --> 0:43:17.000
<v Speaker 1>and I'm glad they come. Three hundred plus yards allowed

0:43:17.120 --> 0:43:19.440
<v Speaker 1>by the Giants to four of the six q bs

0:43:19.520 --> 0:43:22.720
<v Speaker 1>they faced, second most passing yards allowed on the season,

0:43:23.239 --> 0:43:26.120
<v Speaker 1>and Murray's averaging forty attempts per game in the fastest

0:43:26.120 --> 0:43:29.600
<v Speaker 1>paced offense. He's gonna rack up points. So his main man,

0:43:29.800 --> 0:43:33.040
<v Speaker 1>his his safety blanket. Larry Fitzgerald. I'm giving him a

0:43:33.080 --> 0:43:35.440
<v Speaker 1>B grade here. I kind of want to give him

0:43:35.440 --> 0:43:37.880
<v Speaker 1>an A grade here, but he hasn't had like super

0:43:37.960 --> 0:43:41.880
<v Speaker 1>A grade numbers this season. Uh, he's right on that border.

0:43:41.920 --> 0:43:44.759
<v Speaker 1>Five catches bench in the rest of the wide receivers,

0:43:44.840 --> 0:43:47.360
<v Speaker 1>David Johnson. I do like against the Giants, who have

0:43:47.400 --> 0:43:51.000
<v Speaker 1>allowed the fourth most total yards to running backs, Chase Edmonds,

0:43:51.040 --> 0:43:55.399
<v Speaker 1>maybe a sneakers sneaky yeah, eighteen touches and the last

0:43:55.440 --> 0:43:57.200
<v Speaker 1>two games, if he can get you ten touches. This

0:43:57.280 --> 0:43:59.200
<v Speaker 1>is a defense he can pop off, you know when

0:43:59.520 --> 0:44:02.759
<v Speaker 1>a locked times they break David Johnson out as a

0:44:02.760 --> 0:44:06.279
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver and Chase Edmonds loan back and then they

0:44:06.360 --> 0:44:08.560
<v Speaker 1>will hand them the ball. They'll throw to Chase Edmonds.

0:44:08.600 --> 0:44:11.160
<v Speaker 1>He's finding ways to get involved all the time. Eight

0:44:11.160 --> 0:44:13.799
<v Speaker 1>targets per game over the last four Yeah, that's unbelievable.

0:44:14.880 --> 0:44:17.319
<v Speaker 1>Coming up next, we'll answer three tough questions. You can

0:44:17.320 --> 0:44:20.040
<v Speaker 1>play along, try to go a perfect three and oh.

0:44:20.080 --> 0:44:23.360
<v Speaker 1>Three tough questions coming up next on Fantasy Football Weekly.

0:44:41.920 --> 0:44:44.680
<v Speaker 1>It's Fantasy Football Weekly. I'm I'll Chart she In from

0:44:44.680 --> 0:44:49.480
<v Speaker 1>fanball dot Com. Scott Fish and Brian Johnson comprised my

0:44:49.560 --> 0:44:53.120
<v Speaker 1>panel of experts for this segment. You are a panel

0:44:53.440 --> 0:44:56.440
<v Speaker 1>of two. I'm not on the panel. I'm I'm asking

0:44:56.440 --> 0:44:59.920
<v Speaker 1>the questions. Three tough questions. Is there a minimum requirement

0:45:00.080 --> 0:45:03.880
<v Speaker 1>a panel? Is its time compliance? I don't think it is. Actually,

0:45:03.920 --> 0:45:08.680
<v Speaker 1>I exist at least three Yeah, yeah, it's something like that. Uh,

0:45:08.719 --> 0:45:10.880
<v Speaker 1>it's time to get into the grinder. Three tough questions.

0:45:10.920 --> 0:45:13.120
<v Speaker 1>Listeners play along see if you can go three and

0:45:13.400 --> 0:45:19.400
<v Speaker 1>oh as his tradition. Question one inexplicably DeAndre Hopkins is

0:45:19.400 --> 0:45:22.840
<v Speaker 1>on a five game scoreless streak, and Houston has proven

0:45:22.840 --> 0:45:25.880
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't need Hopkins touchdowns to win games for the

0:45:25.880 --> 0:45:30.600
<v Speaker 1>rest of the season. Will DeAndre Hopkins production remain as

0:45:30.680 --> 0:45:34.640
<v Speaker 1>it is currently, will it improve slightly or will it

0:45:34.680 --> 0:45:38.040
<v Speaker 1>improve dramatically? You'll notice I'm not saying you're even giving

0:45:38.080 --> 0:45:43.440
<v Speaker 1>you a worse from than here scenario in this or

0:45:43.600 --> 0:45:48.440
<v Speaker 1>remains steady, improves slightly, or improved dramatically. Brian all Right.

0:45:48.719 --> 0:45:51.799
<v Speaker 1>DeAndre Hopkins is currently eleventh in air yards and airy

0:45:51.840 --> 0:45:55.040
<v Speaker 1>yards measures how far football travels to the receiver, whether

0:45:55.080 --> 0:45:58.560
<v Speaker 1>he catches it or not. You know, it measures opportunity essentially,

0:45:58.560 --> 0:46:01.279
<v Speaker 1>so he's eleventh in air yards last he finished third

0:46:01.680 --> 0:46:04.880
<v Speaker 1>right now, Hopkins is a target share Last year he

0:46:04.920 --> 0:46:08.080
<v Speaker 1>led the league at thirty two. Of course, those numbers

0:46:08.080 --> 0:46:10.280
<v Speaker 1>are propped up by Will Fuller going down with injury.

0:46:10.600 --> 0:46:13.319
<v Speaker 1>Will Fuller is healthy right now, and will Fuller has

0:46:13.360 --> 0:46:18.360
<v Speaker 1>more air yards, yards and touchdowns than Hopkins. There's clearly

0:46:18.440 --> 0:46:22.280
<v Speaker 1>a direct correlation with the downtick in production for Hopkins,

0:46:22.320 --> 0:46:24.200
<v Speaker 1>who is on pace for a hundred and six yards

0:46:24.320 --> 0:46:26.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, hundred and six catches. That's on par for

0:46:26.960 --> 0:46:29.520
<v Speaker 1>what you'd expect from him, but only one thousand, seventy

0:46:29.520 --> 0:46:31.839
<v Speaker 1>two yards and five touchdowns right now is what he's

0:46:31.840 --> 0:46:35.040
<v Speaker 1>on pace four. I do think those totals will improve,

0:46:35.440 --> 0:46:39.840
<v Speaker 1>but just slightly. Mines. Will Fuller stays healthy, proved slightly, Scott.

0:46:40.800 --> 0:46:44.399
<v Speaker 1>I think it's actually gonna improve dramatically. Remember Julio last year,

0:46:44.680 --> 0:46:47.520
<v Speaker 1>no touchdowns in the first seven games. Not he did

0:46:47.560 --> 0:46:52.840
<v Speaker 1>in his next twelve games twelve touchdowns. Positive regression is

0:46:52.960 --> 0:46:55.960
<v Speaker 1>coming in this one. The Houston tight ends are scoring

0:46:56.200 --> 0:46:59.319
<v Speaker 1>at a probably unsustainable rate right now. I think they

0:46:59.320 --> 0:47:01.880
<v Speaker 1>have five or six, so those touchdowns, I don't know

0:47:01.920 --> 0:47:06.120
<v Speaker 1>that I see that happening much longer. And I'm doing

0:47:06.120 --> 0:47:09.719
<v Speaker 1>a quick check here as I look, but yeah, I

0:47:09.760 --> 0:47:14.280
<v Speaker 1>don't think that. Nope, Kiki qt, Will Filler and Kenny

0:47:14.280 --> 0:47:18.719
<v Speaker 1>Stills have never had a full healthy season combined at all,

0:47:19.719 --> 0:47:23.640
<v Speaker 1>so has only been in like two years constantly out. Yeah,

0:47:23.840 --> 0:47:27.240
<v Speaker 1>so will Fuller has been healthy. But does he stay healthy?

0:47:27.320 --> 0:47:30.000
<v Speaker 1>That that might be the question. I think it improves

0:47:30.080 --> 0:47:33.319
<v Speaker 1>dramatically though. I think he's He's getting the opportunity. It's

0:47:33.360 --> 0:47:35.440
<v Speaker 1>just those touchdowns are going to tight ends and stuff.

0:47:35.480 --> 0:47:38.000
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna come. It's funny you use the exact same

0:47:38.080 --> 0:47:40.759
<v Speaker 1>phrasing that I have on the first bullet point of

0:47:40.960 --> 0:47:46.160
<v Speaker 1>the correct answer. Positive regression coming for Hopkins Since his

0:47:46.280 --> 0:47:50.120
<v Speaker 1>rookie year, He's only had one five game dry spell

0:47:50.200 --> 0:47:53.400
<v Speaker 1>like this one, and it took brick Osweiler to do

0:47:53.480 --> 0:48:00.560
<v Speaker 1>it to him. To say that DeAndre uh to say that, sorry, um,

0:48:00.680 --> 0:48:04.960
<v Speaker 1>Deshaun Watson is better than brick Oswiler is an understatement, right.

0:48:05.120 --> 0:48:07.879
<v Speaker 1>His quarterback is terrific. He's played, Hopkins is playing nine

0:48:08.440 --> 0:48:11.760
<v Speaker 1>percent of the team snaps, he's a fifth in the NFL,

0:48:11.800 --> 0:48:16.520
<v Speaker 1>and targets and will Fuller's drops. I wonder if will

0:48:16.560 --> 0:48:21.000
<v Speaker 1>Fuller's drops won't be sitting in the back of Watson's

0:48:21.040 --> 0:48:24.040
<v Speaker 1>minds and in mind and then you know he doesn't

0:48:24.120 --> 0:48:26.680
<v Speaker 1>end up throwing even a couple more over to Hopkins side,

0:48:27.120 --> 0:48:33.520
<v Speaker 1>I believe the dramatic improvement is coming. Tough question number two.

0:48:34.080 --> 0:48:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Thanks apart to his rushing prows, Tom Brady has posted

0:48:36.800 --> 0:48:40.880
<v Speaker 1>solid fantasy numbers in five of six games for the

0:48:40.920 --> 0:48:45.319
<v Speaker 1>rest of the season. Will Brady improve, hold steady, or

0:48:45.440 --> 0:48:49.879
<v Speaker 1>decline in fantasy production? Scott Okay, First, though a crack

0:48:50.000 --> 0:48:53.600
<v Speaker 1>something last segment, uh Stills did have a healthy season,

0:48:53.640 --> 0:48:58.080
<v Speaker 1>but five of his other injured, so you did have

0:48:58.120 --> 0:49:01.920
<v Speaker 1>a healthy one there. Uh me, Okay. Tom Brady is

0:49:01.920 --> 0:49:04.360
<v Speaker 1>currently QB eight. All five of the games you just

0:49:04.440 --> 0:49:10.480
<v Speaker 1>mentioned top bottom ten past defenses, three of them just terrible. Washington, Miami,

0:49:10.520 --> 0:49:13.880
<v Speaker 1>and the Giants. That's said, he gets possible shootouts with

0:49:13.920 --> 0:49:17.120
<v Speaker 1>the Chiefs, Ravens, and Texans. I can see those being shootouts.

0:49:17.320 --> 0:49:20.200
<v Speaker 1>He's got nice matchups against the Bengals and Eagles. He

0:49:20.239 --> 0:49:23.040
<v Speaker 1>gets the Bills in championship game weeks week sixteen for

0:49:23.160 --> 0:49:28.440
<v Speaker 1>US at least, um, I'll be playing Week sixteen. Yeah, yeah,

0:49:28.480 --> 0:49:32.000
<v Speaker 1>for US at least, That's what I'm saying, not but

0:49:32.840 --> 0:49:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Miami games in week seventeen, which which kind of stinks.

0:49:35.600 --> 0:49:39.120
<v Speaker 1>But uh, looking at the schedule, I think he stays

0:49:39.200 --> 0:49:42.600
<v Speaker 1>pretty steady with with this production. I think he finishes

0:49:42.640 --> 0:49:47.160
<v Speaker 1>the top twelve quarterback. Brian. I think it's going to

0:49:47.239 --> 0:49:49.319
<v Speaker 1>improve because I just look at the schedule and it's

0:49:49.800 --> 0:49:53.480
<v Speaker 1>riddled with cupcake opponents. This is the easiest schedule for

0:49:53.560 --> 0:49:57.120
<v Speaker 1>eight defending Super Bowl champion, easily in history. I mean,

0:49:57.320 --> 0:49:59.920
<v Speaker 1>we all you know, they played Washington, Miami, the Giants,

0:50:00.480 --> 0:50:03.799
<v Speaker 1>some other JV teams. Looking forward, the Jets this week,

0:50:04.239 --> 0:50:07.000
<v Speaker 1>the Browns, who are not good still, the Ravens their

0:50:07.000 --> 0:50:10.439
<v Speaker 1>secondaries and shambles. Then the Eagles, they have the worst

0:50:10.440 --> 0:50:14.120
<v Speaker 1>secondary in the NFL. Yeah, the Cowboys their entire secondaries

0:50:14.160 --> 0:50:16.960
<v Speaker 1>pretty much hurt right now, the Texans one of the

0:50:17.000 --> 0:50:19.400
<v Speaker 1>worst secondaries of the NFL. It never ends. Then the

0:50:19.480 --> 0:50:22.480
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs probably shoot up. Mahomes will be healthy by then,

0:50:23.320 --> 0:50:26.520
<v Speaker 1>then the Bengals. But then it ends in week sixteen

0:50:26.560 --> 0:50:28.160
<v Speaker 1>where you can't play bread against the Bills. But that

0:50:28.239 --> 0:50:31.440
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter. He's going to improve and I hate so

0:50:31.600 --> 0:50:34.839
<v Speaker 1>we basically said the same thing in different orders. I'm

0:50:34.840 --> 0:50:36.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna mention, well, other thing that you guys didn't hit on,

0:50:36.880 --> 0:50:38.719
<v Speaker 1>and you're right, he's going to improve on where he

0:50:38.800 --> 0:50:41.080
<v Speaker 1>is now. And he's already been good. But again, the rushing,

0:50:42.640 --> 0:50:45.759
<v Speaker 1>the receivers, all of his receivers can get better. They

0:50:45.800 --> 0:50:50.720
<v Speaker 1>all have room to improve. Josh Gordon, Philip Dorset, Julian Edelman,

0:50:50.760 --> 0:50:52.640
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna talk about Nikkill Harry a little later in

0:50:52.680 --> 0:50:55.239
<v Speaker 1>the show. They all have room to get better. They've

0:50:55.239 --> 0:50:59.600
<v Speaker 1>all been just okay fantasy performers. They can all get better. So, yes,

0:50:59.719 --> 0:51:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady will improve in the second half of the season.

0:51:04.560 --> 0:51:07.879
<v Speaker 1>Tough question number three. Over the past two weeks, Kirk

0:51:07.880 --> 0:51:11.239
<v Speaker 1>Cousins has been a top five ish fantasy quarterback. Have

0:51:11.400 --> 0:51:14.640
<v Speaker 1>the Vikings cracked the code to unlock his fantasy upside

0:51:15.280 --> 0:51:17.439
<v Speaker 1>or is he more likely to return to the guy

0:51:17.600 --> 0:51:20.800
<v Speaker 1>we're used to seeing Over his previous games with the Vikings,

0:51:21.440 --> 0:51:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Brian so Cousins had thirty seven pass attempts to start

0:51:25.760 --> 0:51:31.480
<v Speaker 1>the season first three weeks. Thirty seven pass attempts three games.

0:51:31.640 --> 0:51:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Of course, he didn't post any real numbers during that span. Yeah,

0:51:36.160 --> 0:51:40.600
<v Speaker 1>that must be completing. It's otherwise, it's only that's only

0:51:41.320 --> 0:51:47.640
<v Speaker 1>twelve and I think I think he was. That's gotta

0:51:47.800 --> 0:51:51.720
<v Speaker 1>it's gotta be because it's still he's couldn't attempt attempts

0:51:51.760 --> 0:51:55.719
<v Speaker 1>per game on average. He needs to attempt to weigh

0:51:55.719 --> 0:51:59.560
<v Speaker 1>more passes than that. Okay. And in the games coming up,

0:52:00.120 --> 0:52:02.640
<v Speaker 1>there's some game scripts that get flipped pretty quick with

0:52:02.680 --> 0:52:05.680
<v Speaker 1>that good Vikings defense and some piss poor opponents, uh,

0:52:05.800 --> 0:52:09.680
<v Speaker 1>mainly the Redskins. The Chiefs are probably gonna be without

0:52:09.719 --> 0:52:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Mahomes uh. And then the Broncos are coming up

0:52:13.719 --> 0:52:15.800
<v Speaker 1>outside of this week's matchup with Detroit, and then the

0:52:15.880 --> 0:52:18.440
<v Speaker 1>bye week. That's enough for me to already say we're

0:52:18.440 --> 0:52:20.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna see more of the cousins we saw earlier in

0:52:20.480 --> 0:52:22.440
<v Speaker 1>the season and not in the last two weeks. It's

0:52:22.520 --> 0:52:25.200
<v Speaker 1>he's very matchup dependent, and uh, I don't see very

0:52:25.200 --> 0:52:26.839
<v Speaker 1>good matchups on the rise, and they don't come till

0:52:26.880 --> 0:52:28.319
<v Speaker 1>well later in the season. I don't even want to

0:52:28.360 --> 0:52:31.440
<v Speaker 1>contemplate Kirk that late in season. So uh, more likely

0:52:31.480 --> 0:52:34.600
<v Speaker 1>to return to thee all right, thinks I hate that

0:52:34.640 --> 0:52:37.040
<v Speaker 1>you don't have a middle option. No, this is a

0:52:37.080 --> 0:52:39.440
<v Speaker 1>binary one. This is this is up or down. It's

0:52:39.840 --> 0:52:43.520
<v Speaker 1>very annoying because I think he's gonna land in the middle.

0:52:43.600 --> 0:52:45.960
<v Speaker 1>He's not going to go back to averaging thirteen Fantasy

0:52:46.040 --> 0:52:48.479
<v Speaker 1>points per game, and he's not going to be twenty five.

0:52:48.600 --> 0:52:51.400
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna be like seventeen or eighteen. He's right in

0:52:51.480 --> 0:52:53.400
<v Speaker 1>the frigging middle. So you got but you gotta pick

0:52:53.480 --> 0:52:56.480
<v Speaker 1>one or the other. He is he going to retain

0:52:57.000 --> 0:53:00.959
<v Speaker 1>Is he going to retain the up? He's not gonna

0:53:01.120 --> 0:53:03.640
<v Speaker 1>He's not going to retain what he did against the

0:53:03.719 --> 0:53:06.960
<v Speaker 1>freaking Eagles and the Giants. So you think he's more

0:53:07.080 --> 0:53:09.839
<v Speaker 1>likely to return to the guy he was he's more

0:53:09.960 --> 0:53:12.440
<v Speaker 1>likely to even though I have faith that they have

0:53:12.960 --> 0:53:15.279
<v Speaker 1>figured out that he needs to throw the ball more

0:53:15.360 --> 0:53:17.920
<v Speaker 1>and feed his receivers more and make it a more balanced,

0:53:18.280 --> 0:53:21.960
<v Speaker 1>not run every play offense. But if I had to

0:53:22.080 --> 0:53:24.839
<v Speaker 1>choose one of the two, he's probably going to drop off.

0:53:25.520 --> 0:53:28.560
<v Speaker 1>The real question that we're actually asking with this is

0:53:30.000 --> 0:53:33.839
<v Speaker 1>can the Vikings offensive line continue to give Kirk reasonable

0:53:34.160 --> 0:53:37.280
<v Speaker 1>pass protection as they've done the last two weeks, because

0:53:37.360 --> 0:53:40.800
<v Speaker 1>that is why Kirk has has played so well. That's

0:53:40.880 --> 0:53:45.680
<v Speaker 1>the reason. So I analyzed the remaining schedule and get

0:53:45.719 --> 0:53:50.360
<v Speaker 1>a load of this for the Vikings amazingly favorable against

0:53:50.440 --> 0:53:55.000
<v Speaker 1>pass rushing defenses. Of the nine remaining opponents, six of

0:53:55.120 --> 0:53:58.960
<v Speaker 1>them ranked twenty third or worse in pass rush by

0:53:59.000 --> 0:54:03.239
<v Speaker 1>Pro Football folk is none of the remaining Vikings opponents

0:54:03.360 --> 0:54:08.239
<v Speaker 1>rank higher than ninth in pass rush. Kirk Cousins is

0:54:08.280 --> 0:54:11.239
<v Speaker 1>going to continue to get time behind this now, at

0:54:11.320 --> 0:54:14.960
<v Speaker 1>least through two games improved offensive line, and if that's

0:54:15.000 --> 0:54:16.960
<v Speaker 1>the case, we're going to get the kinds of numbers

0:54:17.000 --> 0:54:18.759
<v Speaker 1>from Kirk Cousins that we were getting when he was

0:54:18.800 --> 0:54:21.000
<v Speaker 1>with Washington, which is the Kirk Cousins the Vikings thought

0:54:21.040 --> 0:54:26.439
<v Speaker 1>they were getting I think he's back. Let's sneak that's true.

0:54:27.280 --> 0:54:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Let's let's sneak in one more matchup, Chargers taking on

0:54:30.360 --> 0:54:32.560
<v Speaker 1>a Tennessee Brian. It's been a reck at a lot

0:54:32.600 --> 0:54:36.120
<v Speaker 1>of positions for the Chargers all season long, numerous players

0:54:36.239 --> 0:54:39.319
<v Speaker 1>disappointing across the board. What do you think is coming

0:54:39.400 --> 0:54:41.320
<v Speaker 1>up in this one? And a tough matchup with Tennessee?

0:54:41.400 --> 0:54:45.839
<v Speaker 1>Is there anybody you particularly like? Not really? Now, let's

0:54:45.840 --> 0:54:47.359
<v Speaker 1>start with the running game, and it is a tough

0:54:47.400 --> 0:54:50.239
<v Speaker 1>matchup for both running backs. Melvin Gordon snap percentage went

0:54:50.320 --> 0:54:53.760
<v Speaker 1>up to six last week, up from the week before.

0:54:54.080 --> 0:54:57.440
<v Speaker 1>He outtouched Austin ekel Even to eight as well. That

0:54:57.640 --> 0:55:00.239
<v Speaker 1>delta will probably widen this week. But I'm only giving

0:55:00.320 --> 0:55:02.560
<v Speaker 1>him a CE here. Over Tennessee's last four games, no

0:55:02.680 --> 0:55:05.560
<v Speaker 1>starting running back has seen more than fifteen carries or

0:55:05.680 --> 0:55:09.480
<v Speaker 1>top seventy yards. Austin Ekeler, I'm still going to give

0:55:09.520 --> 0:55:12.399
<v Speaker 1>him a C. Only eight carries combined over the last

0:55:12.440 --> 0:55:15.239
<v Speaker 1>two weeks, and the return of Hunter Henry probably hurts

0:55:15.280 --> 0:55:18.120
<v Speaker 1>his receiving prospects a little bit, but the Titans are

0:55:18.160 --> 0:55:20.719
<v Speaker 1>allowing more than six and a half receptions per game

0:55:20.760 --> 0:55:23.480
<v Speaker 1>to running backs, and there's still some hope that head

0:55:23.520 --> 0:55:26.839
<v Speaker 1>coach Anthony Lynn realizes that Heckler is the better back

0:55:26.880 --> 0:55:29.080
<v Speaker 1>on roster right now and gives them more touches because

0:55:29.480 --> 0:55:31.520
<v Speaker 1>it's been a disaster since Melvin Gordon and came back,

0:55:32.040 --> 0:55:33.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, but the offensive line has also been, you know,

0:55:33.920 --> 0:55:37.399
<v Speaker 1>a disaster to now. Russell Kun could come back this game,

0:55:37.760 --> 0:55:40.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know yet, and maybe first almost certainly the

0:55:40.719 --> 0:55:42.920
<v Speaker 1>next one that will help a ton. Yeah, definitely. I

0:55:42.960 --> 0:55:46.920
<v Speaker 1>was gonna mention that when I talked. But let's go

0:55:46.920 --> 0:55:49.719
<v Speaker 1>over to Hunter Henry. Henry ran thirty seven pass routes

0:55:49.719 --> 0:55:51.759
<v Speaker 1>in his return from injury last How impressive is that

0:55:51.920 --> 0:55:55.440
<v Speaker 1>That's the most routes he's runs in September? Makes no

0:55:55.560 --> 0:55:58.520
<v Speaker 1>sense and he obviously blew up how many benches did

0:55:58.600 --> 0:56:02.680
<v Speaker 1>he stay on last week? And people, I'm raising my

0:56:02.760 --> 0:56:04.959
<v Speaker 1>hand right now. No one can see me except you guys.

0:56:05.280 --> 0:56:08.600
<v Speaker 1>But this is a neutral matchup. At worst. Tennessee is

0:56:08.600 --> 0:56:11.640
<v Speaker 1>allowing a modest four catches forty six yards per game

0:56:11.680 --> 0:56:13.680
<v Speaker 1>to tight ends, but they have surrendered the second most

0:56:13.719 --> 0:56:16.520
<v Speaker 1>scores to the position Hunter Henry and easy A in

0:56:16.560 --> 0:56:19.360
<v Speaker 1>the tight end Wasteland Keenan Allen. This is not a

0:56:19.400 --> 0:56:21.440
<v Speaker 1>good matchup for him, just to see. He's been out

0:56:21.480 --> 0:56:24.560
<v Speaker 1>targeted seventeen to thirty by Mike Williams by over the

0:56:24.680 --> 0:56:28.120
<v Speaker 1>last three weeks, and he's yeah, I don't know. He's

0:56:28.160 --> 0:56:30.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna draw Logan Ryan, who was one of the rare

0:56:30.440 --> 0:56:33.239
<v Speaker 1>slot stoppers in this league. It's a brutal matchup for Keenan,

0:56:33.280 --> 0:56:35.319
<v Speaker 1>but you cannot bench him. Uh. He gets to see

0:56:35.560 --> 0:56:38.000
<v Speaker 1>and so does Mike Williams. He leads the NFL and

0:56:38.080 --> 0:56:41.279
<v Speaker 1>air yards over the last two weeks with a whopping seven,

0:56:41.680 --> 0:56:44.759
<v Speaker 1>so the opportunity for big games has been there. I

0:56:44.920 --> 0:56:47.200
<v Speaker 1>don't like his prospects for a big game and this one.

0:56:47.320 --> 0:56:50.319
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee has only allowed one total wide receiver touchdown over

0:56:50.360 --> 0:56:53.680
<v Speaker 1>their last three games, and they've limited outside receivers like

0:56:53.760 --> 0:56:58.040
<v Speaker 1>Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley, John Brown, and Courtland Sutton to

0:56:58.120 --> 0:57:01.279
<v Speaker 1>be collective sixteen catches among those four players. So I'm

0:57:01.320 --> 0:57:03.160
<v Speaker 1>not liking Tends this week. Still gonna give him a

0:57:03.200 --> 0:57:05.759
<v Speaker 1>see though, but you know what, I'm benching Philip Rivers.

0:57:06.000 --> 0:57:08.640
<v Speaker 1>The Titans have generated the sixth most sacks and allowed

0:57:08.680 --> 0:57:12.760
<v Speaker 1>the sixth sixth fewest passing yards per game while surrendering

0:57:12.880 --> 0:57:16.040
<v Speaker 1>just eight passing touchdowns. Even though Rivers has a safe floor,

0:57:16.080 --> 0:57:17.720
<v Speaker 1>I'd take any of our take a chance on me

0:57:18.040 --> 0:57:21.320
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks over Rivers against Tennessee this week over to the

0:57:21.400 --> 0:57:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Titan side. You gonna give Derrick Henry and a Henry

0:57:24.000 --> 0:57:26.480
<v Speaker 1>has at least one hundred combo yards and doory touchdown

0:57:26.520 --> 0:57:29.520
<v Speaker 1>in seventh straight home games. The Chargers do not present

0:57:29.640 --> 0:57:31.320
<v Speaker 1>much of a threat against the run, as they are

0:57:31.400 --> 0:57:36.560
<v Speaker 1>ranked twenty seven by Football Outsiders. Uh Dion Lewis, Uh No,

0:57:36.640 --> 0:57:39.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna talk about Dean Lewis. Sorry, Finally, you're

0:57:39.120 --> 0:57:41.600
<v Speaker 1>gonna not talk about Lois? How many times you get

0:57:41.760 --> 0:57:45.640
<v Speaker 1>burned on that wasting time solid five PPR points? Might

0:57:45.680 --> 0:57:47.919
<v Speaker 1>take a chance some running back last. Do not wake

0:57:48.000 --> 0:57:50.880
<v Speaker 1>up the peacock for that one Delaney Walker. He might

0:57:50.920 --> 0:57:52.800
<v Speaker 1>as well not wake up on Sunday either. I'm gonna

0:57:52.840 --> 0:57:54.760
<v Speaker 1>keep him on the bench. He might be out. He

0:57:54.840 --> 0:57:58.880
<v Speaker 1>did not practice today. You'd be better if he's out.

0:57:59.040 --> 0:58:01.200
<v Speaker 1>Don't play John Newson. If that's the case. The Charges

0:58:01.240 --> 0:58:03.480
<v Speaker 1>have only allowed six tight end receptions over the last

0:58:03.600 --> 0:58:06.400
<v Speaker 1>three games. Uh. Delaney looks like he's cooked too. By

0:58:06.400 --> 0:58:07.960
<v Speaker 1>the way, it's kind of said after a hot start,

0:58:08.000 --> 0:58:10.640
<v Speaker 1>he hasn't done anything since the opener. Corey Davis A J.

0:58:10.800 --> 0:58:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Brown easily on the bench, and there's no easier bench

0:58:13.800 --> 0:58:17.320
<v Speaker 1>than Ryan Tannehill. There is no easier bench, well except

0:58:17.360 --> 0:58:23.440
<v Speaker 1>for Marcus Mariota, who's ben bench. Yeah. Absolutely again it's uh,

0:58:23.560 --> 0:58:26.640

<v Speaker 1>What about the San Francisco passing game. We'll tell you

0:59:16.920 --> 0:59:37.840
<v Speaker 1>what to do when we come back. Welcome back Fantasy

0:59:37.920 --> 0:59:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Football Weekly. We've got a big block o matchups for you,

0:59:41.840 --> 0:59:47.320
<v Speaker 1>beginning with San Francisco taking on Washington. We start on

0:59:47.320 --> 0:59:49.240
<v Speaker 1>the San Francisco side. Already told you how much I

0:59:49.280 --> 0:59:50.840
<v Speaker 1>love Matt Breta. He was gonna take a chance of

0:59:50.880 --> 0:59:54.080
<v Speaker 1>me running back, which, really, if I'm being honest, he's

0:59:54.080 --> 0:59:55.880
<v Speaker 1>a little He's way too good to be a take

0:59:55.920 --> 0:59:57.760
<v Speaker 1>a chance of me running back. But part of it

0:59:57.880 --> 0:59:59.760
<v Speaker 1>is I just I love talking about Matt brit Becus.

0:59:59.760 --> 1:00:02.800
<v Speaker 1>I think you such a good player. Tevin Coleman gets

1:00:02.840 --> 1:00:05.440
<v Speaker 1>an A grade in this game. He put up a

1:00:05.640 --> 1:00:08.520
<v Speaker 1>season high one hundred fifty six total yards and two

1:00:08.600 --> 1:00:11.800
<v Speaker 1>scores at FedEx Field last season when he was with Atlanta,

1:00:12.000 --> 1:00:14.440
<v Speaker 1>and he was no good last season with Atlanta, and

1:00:14.480 --> 1:00:17.440
<v Speaker 1>he still put up hundred fifty six against the Redskins.

1:00:17.480 --> 1:00:20.360
<v Speaker 1>He faces a Redskins defense that has allowed the seventh

1:00:20.480 --> 1:00:23.840
<v Speaker 1>most Fantasy points to backs. They have allowed six backs

1:00:23.920 --> 1:00:27.400
<v Speaker 1>to score in five games, and the forty Niners lead

1:00:27.440 --> 1:00:30.680
<v Speaker 1>the league in run ratio. So you know Coleman's gonna

1:00:30.680 --> 1:00:33.560
<v Speaker 1>get fed a lot. And by the way, Brita has

1:00:33.840 --> 1:00:38.080
<v Speaker 1>zero carries inside the five yard line. Coleman already has

1:00:38.160 --> 1:00:42.000
<v Speaker 1>four and he's only played for what like five quarters

1:00:42.040 --> 1:00:44.360
<v Speaker 1>of football or something like that. Now he's probably up

1:00:44.360 --> 1:00:47.720
<v Speaker 1>to what nine something like that. So yeah, Coleman's in

1:00:47.960 --> 1:00:50.440
<v Speaker 1>an obvious a let's go do the passing game. Jimmy

1:00:50.440 --> 1:00:53.400
<v Speaker 1>Garoppolo gets a B grade here. The problem is he's

1:00:53.440 --> 1:00:55.360
<v Speaker 1>just not throwing the ball, and his low volume just

1:00:55.520 --> 1:00:59.480
<v Speaker 1>isn't producing fantasy points. Garoppolo is allowing the Garoppolos throwing

1:00:59.640 --> 1:01:04.240
<v Speaker 1>the third fewest passes because his defense whenever game scriptics like,

1:01:04.440 --> 1:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>the defense shuts everybody down and then they just go

1:01:06.480 --> 1:01:08.640
<v Speaker 1>run their way to victory, so they don't need him

1:01:08.680 --> 1:01:11.760
<v Speaker 1>to pass. Now, there is some upside against the Redskins.

1:01:12.160 --> 1:01:15.680
<v Speaker 1>Washington has been busy surrendering the ninth most passing yards

1:01:15.720 --> 1:01:20.640
<v Speaker 1>and the third most passing touchdowns, including four different three

1:01:20.720 --> 1:01:25.200
<v Speaker 1>touchdown games. So I've still got to be greater a

1:01:25.240 --> 1:01:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Garoppolo just because Washington's so bad that they he may

1:01:28.080 --> 1:01:29.920
<v Speaker 1>still find his way to a very good game and

1:01:30.120 --> 1:01:32.439
<v Speaker 1>they could still run the ball well. So that means

1:01:32.880 --> 1:01:34.800
<v Speaker 1>I must like George Kittle, who gets an A grade.

1:01:34.960 --> 1:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>Washington is an average tight end defense. They held Evan

1:01:38.480 --> 1:01:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Ingram and zach Ertz to the exact same fifty four

1:01:41.680 --> 1:01:44.560
<v Speaker 1>scoreless yards. The Kittle doesn't have a single game with

1:01:44.720 --> 1:01:47.360
<v Speaker 1>less than fifty four yards, and he's been targeted eight

1:01:47.480 --> 1:01:49.280
<v Speaker 1>or more times in every game but one. So we

1:01:49.360 --> 1:01:52.480
<v Speaker 1>love Kittle. Dan. That brings us to the wide receivers,

1:01:52.520 --> 1:01:55.240
<v Speaker 1>and you can't start any of them, whether it's Goodwin

1:01:55.440 --> 1:01:59.160
<v Speaker 1>or Samuel or Pettis, They're all languishing with so little

1:01:59.320 --> 1:02:04.320
<v Speaker 1>volume that just can't be trusted. Get this, between Goodwin, Samuel,

1:02:04.400 --> 1:02:07.960
<v Speaker 1>and Pettis combined, none of them have a five catch

1:02:08.080 --> 1:02:13.400
<v Speaker 1>game in any game combined. They have one game between

1:02:13.520 --> 1:02:19.680
<v Speaker 1>them with passing yards. That's just that's terrible. So they're

1:02:19.720 --> 1:02:21.600
<v Speaker 1>out there on the bench. Let's go to Washington, where

1:02:21.640 --> 1:02:23.880
<v Speaker 1>everybody's on the bench. I will I will say, just

1:02:24.000 --> 1:02:27.000
<v Speaker 1>for Marquow that's side of the field that he plays on.

1:02:27.120 --> 1:02:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Washington's allowed ten touchdowns this year, which, by the way,

1:02:31.440 --> 1:02:35.720
<v Speaker 1>that's Josh. Now, before you bench everyone on Washington, can

1:02:35.760 --> 1:02:38.880
<v Speaker 1>I at least inform you that Sunday is Chris Thompson's

1:02:38.960 --> 1:02:42.120
<v Speaker 1>actual birthday. Does that? Does that move the needle? I

1:02:42.240 --> 1:02:46.520
<v Speaker 1>will move him to a bench bench. Plus, there are

1:02:46.640 --> 1:02:50.280
<v Speaker 1>no pluses. I can't and I love Chris Thompson, but

1:02:50.400 --> 1:02:53.120
<v Speaker 1>I can't do it. This is an elite level defense.

1:02:53.200 --> 1:02:55.880
<v Speaker 1>Needless to say, the Niners have not allowed running back

1:02:55.920 --> 1:02:59.720
<v Speaker 1>to score ground or air. No back has carried it

1:02:59.800 --> 1:03:03.600
<v Speaker 1>more in sixteen times against them. And Bill Kellen can

1:03:03.640 --> 1:03:06.600
<v Speaker 1>talk all he wants about establishing a new running game

1:03:06.680 --> 1:03:08.400
<v Speaker 1>and you can do it against Miami like he did

1:03:08.520 --> 1:03:11.360
<v Speaker 1>last week. Yeah, it ends here. Do not chase Adrian

1:03:11.400 --> 1:03:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Peterson's game from last week. He's on the bench. Terry

1:03:13.880 --> 1:03:16.040
<v Speaker 1>McLaren might be the only gather guy you're tempted with,

1:03:16.200 --> 1:03:19.000
<v Speaker 1>but you can't go there either. The Forts are allowing

1:03:19.040 --> 1:03:22.240
<v Speaker 1>the fewest passing yards per game, and in the last

1:03:22.320 --> 1:03:28.919
<v Speaker 1>two weeks, Baker Mayfield and Jared Goff combined for one

1:03:29.200 --> 1:03:34.960
<v Speaker 1>hundred seventy nine passing yards. Think about that. To NFL

1:03:35.120 --> 1:03:39.439
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks combining for one hundred seventy nine passing yards, that's

1:03:39.520 --> 1:03:44.880
<v Speaker 1>like three or four combined. McLaren has got tough matchups

1:03:44.960 --> 1:03:47.320
<v Speaker 1>all over the field. There's nowhere for him to line

1:03:47.400 --> 1:03:48.960
<v Speaker 1>up on the field to avoid it. He is on

1:03:49.240 --> 1:03:51.600
<v Speaker 1>the bench. Let's go to our next matchup New Orleans

1:03:51.680 --> 1:03:55.720
<v Speaker 1>taking on Chicago. Scott, I think the Saints are fools

1:03:56.040 --> 1:03:58.920
<v Speaker 1>if they run Camara on a high ankle spring in

1:03:59.120 --> 1:04:01.920
<v Speaker 1>Chicago the bye week. Loom yep I agree, and I

1:04:01.960 --> 1:04:03.800
<v Speaker 1>don't think he plays. That's why I'm leaving him on

1:04:03.840 --> 1:04:06.160
<v Speaker 1>the bench. I just don't think it's gonna happen even

1:04:06.160 --> 1:04:10.480
<v Speaker 1>if he's active. I think he's super dangerous. Higael Springs

1:04:10.600 --> 1:04:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Ranger all the time, yep I, I would not be

1:04:13.080 --> 1:04:17.000
<v Speaker 1>playing tomorrow this week, especially against this Bears defense. Uh.

1:04:17.160 --> 1:04:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Latavious Murray, I think it is a little sneaky just

1:04:19.680 --> 1:04:21.560
<v Speaker 1>because he might get the volume. I am giving him

1:04:21.600 --> 1:04:23.880
<v Speaker 1>a C grade. He turned his eleven touches into seventy

1:04:23.960 --> 1:04:27.400
<v Speaker 1>nine yards last week. He's caught some passes recently. Josh

1:04:27.520 --> 1:04:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Jacobs had a day after Kiem Hicks left after eight snaps,

1:04:31.520 --> 1:04:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Josh Jacobs had a hundred twenty six yards against his team. Uh.

1:04:34.680 --> 1:04:37.000
<v Speaker 1>They've allowed a hundred total yards to the lead running

1:04:37.040 --> 1:04:39.720
<v Speaker 1>back in three the last four, which is kind of surprising.

1:04:40.400 --> 1:04:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Another stat in the passing game, this is really surprising

1:04:43.240 --> 1:04:45.439
<v Speaker 1>as well. As I was doing my research this week,

1:04:46.040 --> 1:04:48.920
<v Speaker 1>the Chicago Bears have allowed the most completed passes in

1:04:48.960 --> 1:04:55.680
<v Speaker 1>the NFL this year. What it's all dinking dunk stuff

1:04:55.800 --> 1:04:58.840
<v Speaker 1>and they've had they've had their by to, which makes

1:04:58.880 --> 1:05:01.960
<v Speaker 1>even more incredible. It's a per game basis, but that's no,

1:05:03.280 --> 1:05:06.320
<v Speaker 1>it's it's unreal to me, which is perfect for Teddy

1:05:06.360 --> 1:05:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Bridgewaters dick and dark style, but he's still benchable. You

1:05:10.840 --> 1:05:14.040
<v Speaker 1>shouldn't be starting Teddy Bridgewater. UM lack of yards, lack

1:05:14.080 --> 1:05:17.360
<v Speaker 1>of touchdowns make Bridgewater a bad start, but it's gonna

1:05:17.400 --> 1:05:19.640
<v Speaker 1>be good for Michael Thomas. He's just gonna soak up

1:05:19.680 --> 1:05:22.560
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of short catches and PPR. He's well worth it.

1:05:23.040 --> 1:05:26.000
<v Speaker 1>He's caught twenty eight of the thirty four Teddy targets

1:05:26.080 --> 1:05:30.480
<v Speaker 1>over the last three weeks. Expected Teddy targets like it.

1:05:31.240 --> 1:05:33.360
<v Speaker 1>I wrote it. When I wrote it, I thought the

1:05:33.440 --> 1:05:37.000
<v Speaker 1>same thing. It sounds cute. Ted gains on the bench

1:05:37.080 --> 1:05:40.320
<v Speaker 1>though UM wide receivers not wearing number thirteen for the

1:05:40.440 --> 1:05:43.080
<v Speaker 1>Saints have not topped thirty six yards in a game yet,

1:05:43.560 --> 1:05:48.400
<v Speaker 1>which is crazy under Teddy, which is crazy. UM cook

1:05:49.320 --> 1:05:53.960
<v Speaker 1>a C grade. I guess I don't know. Now I'm

1:05:54.000 --> 1:05:57.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna bench him the Bears have only allowed one touchdown

1:05:57.880 --> 1:06:00.400
<v Speaker 1>this year. I thought, maybe in this terrible land escape,

1:06:00.440 --> 1:06:02.360
<v Speaker 1>maybe I can get No, I can't do it. I

1:06:02.440 --> 1:06:04.760
<v Speaker 1>can't do it. Over to the Bear's side, Trabisky looks

1:06:04.800 --> 1:06:07.640
<v Speaker 1>like he's gonna start, which is a downgrade for the

1:06:07.800 --> 1:06:12.040
<v Speaker 1>entire Bears offense in my opinion. Um, I'm not joking.

1:06:12.120 --> 1:06:15.479
<v Speaker 1>Over the last calendar year, Trabinsky has average eighteen yards

1:06:15.520 --> 1:06:19.560
<v Speaker 1>per game. That's fourteen games. He had a hundred sixty

1:06:19.640 --> 1:06:24.280
<v Speaker 1>five or fewer in five of them. Chise Daniel in

1:06:24.320 --> 1:06:26.040
<v Speaker 1>the last couple of years hasn't had a game under

1:06:26.080 --> 1:06:28.120
<v Speaker 1>two thirty one. I mean, I think it's a downgrade.

1:06:28.200 --> 1:06:31.880
<v Speaker 1>I legitimately think it's a downgrade. Latimer started the season bad,

1:06:32.200 --> 1:06:35.040
<v Speaker 1>but over the last three weeks he's allowing twenty eight

1:06:35.160 --> 1:06:37.240
<v Speaker 1>yards per game in his coverage and faced some really

1:06:37.320 --> 1:06:41.480
<v Speaker 1>good in there. Yeah, I'm benching Allen Robinson. I'm benching

1:06:41.600 --> 1:06:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Miller, who's who's just too inconsistent. And Mitch Robinsky

1:06:45.680 --> 1:06:48.240
<v Speaker 1>has had two wide receivers have double digit Fantasy points

1:06:48.240 --> 1:06:52.080
<v Speaker 1>in the same game twice in his entire career, So

1:06:52.600 --> 1:06:55.160
<v Speaker 1>never start a second wide receiver for them. Tight ends

1:06:55.160 --> 1:06:57.120
<v Speaker 1>are on the bench. Cohen is on the bench with

1:06:57.240 --> 1:07:00.560
<v Speaker 1>his seven touches per game against a top and a

1:07:00.800 --> 1:07:04.560
<v Speaker 1>top five run dye against running backs. Montgomery, you're also

1:07:04.640 --> 1:07:06.960
<v Speaker 1>staying on the bench against the bad defense, against the

1:07:07.000 --> 1:07:09.560
<v Speaker 1>defense that's going to hold him down. So frustrating with David.

1:07:09.600 --> 1:07:13.200
<v Speaker 1>What's happened with David Montgomery the going I could just

1:07:13.280 --> 1:07:14.880
<v Speaker 1>had all the Bears on the bench, really, but I

1:07:14.920 --> 1:07:17.640
<v Speaker 1>went through it for I wanted to rip on Robisky

1:07:17.720 --> 1:07:21.760
<v Speaker 1>for a moment. With p J. Williams, the slot cornerback

1:07:21.840 --> 1:07:24.240
<v Speaker 1>out this week or expected to not play, I thought that,

1:07:24.680 --> 1:07:27.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's like maybe Anthony Miller. They never throwed

1:07:27.120 --> 1:07:30.600
<v Speaker 1>Anthony Miller ever, He's so invisible in that offense, and

1:07:31.400 --> 1:07:35.360
<v Speaker 1>he was such a promising young player too, very very weird. Um,

1:07:35.640 --> 1:07:39.480
<v Speaker 1>We've got one more matchup, and that is Philadelphia taking

1:07:39.560 --> 1:07:42.320
<v Speaker 1>on the Dallas Cowboys. When we're matchup in this segment,

1:07:42.360 --> 1:07:45.800
<v Speaker 1>that's a Sunday night game, Philadelphia coming off a tough

1:07:45.880 --> 1:07:48.480
<v Speaker 1>game in Minnesota, now they go to Dallas. What do

1:07:48.520 --> 1:07:51.520
<v Speaker 1>you think about the passing game, in particular for Carson

1:07:51.640 --> 1:07:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Wentz in this matchup against the Cowboys. I'm liking Carson

1:07:54.960 --> 1:07:56.720
<v Speaker 1>Wentz this Sunday night. I'm gonna give him an A.

1:07:56.880 --> 1:07:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Dallas likely we'll be missing two starting cornerbacks Byron Jones

1:07:59.840 --> 1:08:02.080
<v Speaker 1>and Anthony Brown. Earlier in the year. It looks like

1:08:02.320 --> 1:08:04.400
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys were a tough matchup on paper, but they

1:08:04.440 --> 1:08:08.160
<v Speaker 1>were primarily facing paper quarterbacks like Eli Manning, case Keenum,

1:08:08.240 --> 1:08:11.800
<v Speaker 1>Josh Rose, and Teddy Bridgewater. Dallas was exposed big time

1:08:11.840 --> 1:08:14.600
<v Speaker 1>by Sam Donald last week. Look for Wins to continue

1:08:14.640 --> 1:08:17.200
<v Speaker 1>to crush the Cowboys. He totaled five touchdowns and nearly

1:08:17.240 --> 1:08:20.400
<v Speaker 1>six hundred yards in their two meetings last year. Alishan

1:08:20.479 --> 1:08:23.360
<v Speaker 1>Jeffrey gets an a as well. Just mentioned the injuries

1:08:23.400 --> 1:08:25.639
<v Speaker 1>at corner for Dallas, and look with the Jets wide

1:08:25.640 --> 1:08:28.400
<v Speaker 1>receivers did to the Cowboys last week. They totaled six

1:08:28.479 --> 1:08:31.960
<v Speaker 1>team catches for two nine yards in a touchdown. So

1:08:32.520 --> 1:08:35.160
<v Speaker 1>alshon Jeffrey fire him up with an A. De Shawn

1:08:35.280 --> 1:08:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Jackson sadly is out. I believe that's official. You can

1:08:39.960 --> 1:08:43.040
<v Speaker 1>bank on him being out, and I cannot advocate the

1:08:43.160 --> 1:08:47.120
<v Speaker 1>usage of Nelson Aglar or jj Arthega Whiteside. Uh just

1:08:47.280 --> 1:08:48.760
<v Speaker 1>too much of a dart throw for me, even in

1:08:48.840 --> 1:08:51.160
<v Speaker 1>a in a juicy matchup. But I can advocate the

1:08:51.280 --> 1:08:55.320
<v Speaker 1>usage of zach Ertz. Cowboys are allowing six catches fifty

1:08:55.360 --> 1:08:57.800
<v Speaker 1>nine yards per game to opposing tight ends. Those are

1:08:57.840 --> 1:09:00.920
<v Speaker 1>healthy numbers for the record. Earth's is boomer Bus against

1:09:01.000 --> 1:09:04.600
<v Speaker 1>Dallas last year had fourteen for one and two touchdowns

1:09:05.240 --> 1:09:07.280
<v Speaker 1>in one game and then five for thirty eight and

1:09:07.320 --> 1:09:09.920
<v Speaker 1>the other. So let's let's hope for the former. UH

1:09:10.040 --> 1:09:12.240
<v Speaker 1>this week. When it comes to the box scores for

1:09:12.320 --> 1:09:15.479
<v Speaker 1>Earth's Dallas, Goddard wanted to give him a C grade.

1:09:15.520 --> 1:09:19.000
<v Speaker 1>He has commanded nearly fort of Philly's tight end target

1:09:19.080 --> 1:09:21.519
<v Speaker 1>share over the last three weeks, but the floor is

1:09:21.600 --> 1:09:24.640
<v Speaker 1>way too scary catch games in them, even in the

1:09:24.680 --> 1:09:26.799
<v Speaker 1>tight end waste land. He did have like a seventy

1:09:26.880 --> 1:09:29.360
<v Speaker 1>yard touchdown against the Cowboys, called back last year for

1:09:29.439 --> 1:09:31.960
<v Speaker 1>one of the worst offensive past in appearance calls of

1:09:32.040 --> 1:09:34.200
<v Speaker 1>all time. I'm sure he remembers that, but still not

1:09:34.439 --> 1:09:36.519
<v Speaker 1>enough of a motivating factor for me to start him.

1:09:37.000 --> 1:09:40.519
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Howard over the running backs just to see this week,

1:09:40.920 --> 1:09:44.160
<v Speaker 1>hasn't seen a target since Week four, so his role

1:09:44.280 --> 1:09:47.080
<v Speaker 1>is clearly ground and pound. UH. It's a neutral matchup

1:09:47.120 --> 1:09:49.240
<v Speaker 1>at best. Aaron Jones went off a couple of weeks ago,

1:09:49.680 --> 1:09:51.960
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks ago against Dallas. We all remember that,

1:09:52.280 --> 1:09:55.080
<v Speaker 1>but Levan Bell and Alvin Kamara struggled to get things

1:09:55.160 --> 1:09:57.400
<v Speaker 1>going on the ground against the Cowboys. So just to

1:09:57.439 --> 1:10:00.400
<v Speaker 1>see for Howard Miles Sanders was my take a chance

1:10:00.439 --> 1:10:03.519
<v Speaker 1>of me running back? UH Dallas very friendly to running

1:10:03.560 --> 1:10:06.519
<v Speaker 1>backs through the air over to Dallas and they're running

1:10:06.520 --> 1:10:09.080
<v Speaker 1>back Zeke just to be in this one. In four

1:10:09.160 --> 1:10:11.600
<v Speaker 1>career games against Philly, Zeke is averaging a hundred and

1:10:11.640 --> 1:10:14.000
<v Speaker 1>sixteen yards on the ground and six catches for fifty

1:10:14.080 --> 1:10:17.599
<v Speaker 1>yards per game. That's obviously good production, but he'll struggle

1:10:17.680 --> 1:10:20.200
<v Speaker 1>to meet his rushing average in this one. The Eagles

1:10:20.280 --> 1:10:22.400
<v Speaker 1>have get to allow more than sixty three yards to

1:10:22.560 --> 1:10:24.880
<v Speaker 1>running back on the ground of this season, and uh

1:10:25.240 --> 1:10:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Zeke has been very involved in the passing game and

1:10:28.000 --> 1:10:30.920
<v Speaker 1>comparable running backs have posted nice catch numbers against the Eagles.

1:10:31.040 --> 1:10:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Levan Bell had seven catches, Aaron Jones had six, So

1:10:33.840 --> 1:10:38.400
<v Speaker 1>safe b for Zeke here. Marii Cooper's he's not gonna

1:10:38.479 --> 1:10:42.280
<v Speaker 1>go news came out on Friday. He's gonna try and

1:10:42.360 --> 1:10:46.559
<v Speaker 1>suit up, so if if he does, it's an amazing matchup.

1:10:46.640 --> 1:10:50.040
<v Speaker 1>The Philly secondary just brutal. Jalen Mills is gonna make

1:10:50.080 --> 1:10:53.160
<v Speaker 1>his return. That could be addition or subtraction by addition

1:10:54.840 --> 1:10:58.120
<v Speaker 1>referred to him as toast is his nickname, Jalen Mills. Uh,

1:10:58.520 --> 1:11:00.680
<v Speaker 1>if Cooper goes, I'll of him an A, but I

1:11:00.760 --> 1:11:03.880
<v Speaker 1>fear he'd be a decoy. Uh, You're you're definitely starting

1:11:03.920 --> 1:11:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Michael Gallant regardless bose are not he gets an a

1:11:08.360 --> 1:11:10.280
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned and take a chance of the six different

1:11:10.320 --> 1:11:12.439
<v Speaker 1>wide receivers have topped a hundred yards against the Eagles,

1:11:12.479 --> 1:11:14.920
<v Speaker 1>who have allowed the most wide receiver touchdowns, the third

1:11:15.000 --> 1:11:17.280
<v Speaker 1>most red zone targets and second most red zone touches,

1:11:17.680 --> 1:11:19.600
<v Speaker 1>should not be a surprised as if they're yielding that

1:11:19.680 --> 1:11:23.240
<v Speaker 1>to opposing wide receivers as well. That is why Cedric

1:11:23.400 --> 1:11:25.759
<v Speaker 1>Wilson was might take a chance on me wide receiver.

1:11:28.439 --> 1:11:31.080
<v Speaker 1>Then Wilson is no longer a take on receiver. And

1:11:31.120 --> 1:11:33.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm here by tabbing Alan Lazard of Green Bay as

1:11:33.400 --> 1:11:35.080
<v Speaker 1>might take a chance of me wide receiver. I like

1:11:35.200 --> 1:11:37.759
<v Speaker 1>that You've got a provisional take a chance of the receiver.

1:11:38.120 --> 1:11:40.360
<v Speaker 1>UM a couple more guys really quick for Dallas Randall

1:11:40.439 --> 1:11:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Cobb probably not gonna play I would still bench Tavon

1:11:43.560 --> 1:11:46.600
<v Speaker 1>Austin his backup if Cobb sits all the all the

1:11:46.640 --> 1:11:49.920
<v Speaker 1>production comes from boundary receivers against the Eagles, and Jason

1:11:49.960 --> 1:11:52.560
<v Speaker 1>Witten gets to see hasn't seen the volume you'd like

1:11:52.720 --> 1:11:54.880
<v Speaker 1>from a starting tight end, but he has topped fifty

1:11:54.960 --> 1:11:58.120
<v Speaker 1>yards or scored a touchdown in five of six games

1:11:58.240 --> 1:12:00.760
<v Speaker 1>this year, and Philly has yield did the second most

1:12:00.880 --> 1:12:04.320
<v Speaker 1>red zone targets to opposing tight ends. And lastly, Dak

1:12:04.360 --> 1:12:07.559
<v Speaker 1>Prescott gotta give him an a here. Four different passers

1:12:07.640 --> 1:12:10.040
<v Speaker 1>have thrown for at least three twenty yards and multiple

1:12:10.080 --> 1:12:12.560
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns against the Eagles this year, and as always, he

1:12:12.680 --> 1:12:15.040
<v Speaker 1>is a threat on the ground as well. Remember when

1:12:15.080 --> 1:12:21.320
<v Speaker 1>the St. Louis Rams gave Tavon Austin, I think fifty

1:12:21.520 --> 1:12:25.439
<v Speaker 1>million dollar contract. He's gonna get a hundred catches. Remember, Yeah,

1:12:25.560 --> 1:12:28.760
<v Speaker 1>right at the time, we're all looking at it, tell

1:12:28.880 --> 1:12:32.120
<v Speaker 1>going this is the worst contract ever. And he was

1:12:32.200 --> 1:12:41.320
<v Speaker 1>like a top ten pick in close. Unbelievable that our

1:12:41.360 --> 1:12:44.040
<v Speaker 1>final topics are ahead. When we provide you with three

1:12:44.160 --> 1:12:48.040
<v Speaker 1>guys we believe will be hot waiver wire pickups next

1:12:48.120 --> 1:12:52.320
<v Speaker 1>week that you'll want to grab this week. Whether you're

1:12:52.320 --> 1:12:56.840
<v Speaker 1>ready for it or not, Premature speculation is coming at you. Yes,

1:12:57.320 --> 1:13:21.080

<v Speaker 1>of the one thousand dollar prize pool in the Crush

1:13:35.520 --> 1:13:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Charts Championship. Guys, let's turn our attention to next week.

1:13:40.560 --> 1:13:43.880
<v Speaker 1>Premature speculation is the name of this bit. We give

1:13:43.960 --> 1:13:46.120
<v Speaker 1>you three players it's going to turn out to be

1:13:46.200 --> 1:13:48.960
<v Speaker 1>more like five this week that we believe we're gonna

1:13:49.000 --> 1:13:54.200
<v Speaker 1>be hot waiver wire pickups next week. But through our

1:13:54.360 --> 1:14:01.720
<v Speaker 1>time machine, which sounds exactly like that, you will already

1:14:01.840 --> 1:14:05.800
<v Speaker 1>have these players on your roster. We begin with Brian

1:14:05.880 --> 1:14:11.120
<v Speaker 1>who is your premature speculation guy. I said Justice Hill

1:14:11.240 --> 1:14:13.200
<v Speaker 1>last week, and I'm going with another running back that

1:14:13.320 --> 1:14:15.400
<v Speaker 1>you can kind of just squad on and he could

1:14:15.479 --> 1:14:17.680
<v Speaker 1>turn into a league winner as the season goes on,

1:14:17.840 --> 1:14:20.639
<v Speaker 1>and that's Tony Pollard. Of course, he would need something

1:14:20.720 --> 1:14:22.719
<v Speaker 1>to happen to Zeke for him to become a league winner.

1:14:22.840 --> 1:14:25.840
<v Speaker 1>But I do think Pollard starts to carve out more

1:14:25.920 --> 1:14:28.960
<v Speaker 1>of a handcuff with benefits role. As a season wears on,

1:14:29.320 --> 1:14:31.519
<v Speaker 1>people are screaming to get him involved in the passing

1:14:31.600 --> 1:14:35.400
<v Speaker 1>game more. Uh. Zeke's been taking more of the receiving

1:14:35.439 --> 1:14:37.080
<v Speaker 1>game for running backs and people have been expected, but

1:14:37.120 --> 1:14:39.400
<v Speaker 1>he's not doing a whole lot with him. Uh, Pollard

1:14:39.640 --> 1:14:42.200
<v Speaker 1>will get involved more. He's been compared to Alvin Kamara

1:14:42.280 --> 1:14:44.360
<v Speaker 1>by people in his own organization, but they're certainly not

1:14:44.520 --> 1:14:47.320
<v Speaker 1>using him that way. And really the wide receivers for

1:14:48.720 --> 1:14:51.479
<v Speaker 1>the Cowboys are the walking wounded right now. And it

1:14:51.560 --> 1:14:53.840
<v Speaker 1>started in training camp with the Marii Cooper who was

1:14:53.880 --> 1:14:55.880
<v Speaker 1>gonna be questionable to start the season. Now Cooper has

1:14:55.920 --> 1:14:58.760
<v Speaker 1>hurt again, Radel Cobs hurt, Michael Gallup has been hurt.

1:14:59.400 --> 1:15:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Jason Witten is very old and not that good. So

1:15:02.040 --> 1:15:05.559
<v Speaker 1>Tony Pollard he's gonna start to see five, six, seven

1:15:05.640 --> 1:15:08.559
<v Speaker 1>targets per game, so he will be viable in PPR.

1:15:08.560 --> 1:15:11.519
<v Speaker 1>And again if something happens to Zeke, giddy up. Okay,

1:15:12.040 --> 1:15:18.120
<v Speaker 1>your your premature speculation, Guy Scott speculation. Going back to

1:15:18.160 --> 1:15:20.719
<v Speaker 1>the preseason, who's that quarterback that I kept talking about

1:15:20.760 --> 1:15:22.439
<v Speaker 1>because I like the way he ended the last season?

1:15:22.600 --> 1:15:26.160
<v Speaker 1>It was Sam Donald who you love this preseason play too.

1:15:26.439 --> 1:15:29.439
<v Speaker 1>I still I still like him, and after this Pat's

1:15:29.479 --> 1:15:32.439
<v Speaker 1>game this week, so you're not gonna play him this week.

1:15:32.479 --> 1:15:34.680
<v Speaker 1>But this is a good option for Mahomes. Owner. You

1:15:34.720 --> 1:15:37.680
<v Speaker 1>started Mahomes right, you start? Yeah, you started Mahomes on

1:15:37.840 --> 1:15:40.439
<v Speaker 1>Thursday night. And now as you're looking ahead to who

1:15:40.479 --> 1:15:43.599
<v Speaker 1>you might has used a replacement for Homes, here's your guys,

1:15:43.720 --> 1:15:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Sam Donald. He gets the Jaguars next week. You might

1:15:46.320 --> 1:15:48.759
<v Speaker 1>be a little worried. Guess what, Joe Flacco and Marcus

1:15:48.840 --> 1:15:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Mariota both through for over three yards on the Jags.

1:15:52.240 --> 1:15:55.120
<v Speaker 1>If they can do it. He's got those two. He's

1:15:55.120 --> 1:15:58.679
<v Speaker 1>got the Jaguars after then he gets the Dolphins, the Giants,

1:15:58.800 --> 1:16:03.320
<v Speaker 1>the Redskins, the Raiders, the Bengals, and the Dolphins seven

1:16:03.360 --> 1:16:05.880
<v Speaker 1>in a row. That are easy. All of those teams

1:16:06.000 --> 1:16:08.800
<v Speaker 1>bottom to Most of those teams are bottom six. So

1:16:09.439 --> 1:16:12.679
<v Speaker 1>Sam Donald is going to have A and B grades

1:16:13.200 --> 1:16:16.160
<v Speaker 1>for many of those games. Only roster and twy seven

1:16:16.200 --> 1:16:18.960
<v Speaker 1>percent leagues. Yeah, absolutely, I love it. You just right.

1:16:18.960 --> 1:16:20.479
<v Speaker 1>You gotta sit on him. You gotta sit on him

1:16:20.479 --> 1:16:22.320
<v Speaker 1>for this week. But big deal. By the way, over

1:16:22.360 --> 1:16:25.280
<v Speaker 1>the last six games, Sam Donald nine touchdowns, one interception

1:16:25.960 --> 1:16:28.120
<v Speaker 1>not bad. Well, I'd like to see more touch touchdown.

1:16:28.120 --> 1:16:30.920
<v Speaker 1>I see more touchdowns over six games than nine. I've

1:16:30.960 --> 1:16:32.760
<v Speaker 1>got two guys who went on i R at the

1:16:32.840 --> 1:16:35.840
<v Speaker 1>beginning of the season and are eligible to come off

1:16:35.880 --> 1:16:37.680
<v Speaker 1>after week eight, And you know next week is going

1:16:37.720 --> 1:16:40.639
<v Speaker 1>to be We're heading into week eight, so you're gonna

1:16:40.640 --> 1:16:43.120
<v Speaker 1>start hearing about these names a lot more in the

1:16:43.200 --> 1:16:45.679
<v Speaker 1>coming days. If you want to be a week ahead

1:16:45.680 --> 1:16:49.280
<v Speaker 1>of the curve, go get nikkil Harry, the rookie wide

1:16:49.320 --> 1:16:54.080
<v Speaker 1>receiver for the Patriots, who could end up you could

1:16:54.160 --> 1:16:57.120
<v Speaker 1>end up getting meaningful playing time. Uh, it wouldn't take

1:16:57.200 --> 1:17:01.720
<v Speaker 1>necessarily a lot to get him onto the field. Gordon's hurt,

1:17:01.760 --> 1:17:04.920
<v Speaker 1>Dorset's just coming off injury, right, yeah, exactly. And then

1:17:05.080 --> 1:17:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Darius Guys, the Redskins runner who missed all last year

1:17:09.080 --> 1:17:11.040
<v Speaker 1>and then had the setback at the beginning of this year.

1:17:11.520 --> 1:17:13.519
<v Speaker 1>He's eligible to come back to And I don't love

1:17:13.560 --> 1:17:18.160
<v Speaker 1>any Redskin necessarily, but guys has got to be better

1:17:18.200 --> 1:17:20.240
<v Speaker 1>than what Adrian Peterson's giving that team, and they do

1:17:20.360 --> 1:17:22.360
<v Speaker 1>want to run more. He could walk right in and

1:17:22.520 --> 1:17:24.800
<v Speaker 1>become the you become the lead running back on an

1:17:24.880 --> 1:17:33.280
<v Speaker 1>NFL team, So there's a couple of team that's us

1:17:33.320 --> 1:17:36.200
<v Speaker 1>getting back to normal time. Now we're back. Now, we're

1:17:36.240 --> 1:17:37.599
<v Speaker 1>back to weeks and I want to what. I want

1:17:37.640 --> 1:17:40.559
<v Speaker 1>to know what our machine looks like. That's the next

1:17:40.640 --> 1:17:43.120
<v Speaker 1>thing we gotta get. Yeah, we don't. We have to

1:17:43.200 --> 1:17:45.120
<v Speaker 1>describe to radio. I mean we have to describe it.

1:17:45.120 --> 1:17:47.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean some parts kind of tricky on our time machine. Um,

1:17:48.920 --> 1:17:51.400
<v Speaker 1>let's take a look at our final two matchups, Baltimore

1:17:51.520 --> 1:17:55.120
<v Speaker 1>taking on Seattle. We begin on the Baltimore side and

1:17:55.200 --> 1:17:59.439
<v Speaker 1>Lamar Jackson, who faces really a schizophrenic Seahawks defense that's

1:17:59.479 --> 1:18:04.080
<v Speaker 1>allowed some alarmingly huge games to some pretty mediocre quarterbacks.

1:18:04.439 --> 1:18:07.679
<v Speaker 1>How about Andy Dalton putting up four hundred eighteen yards,

1:18:08.360 --> 1:18:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Jared Goff four hundred yards, Baker Mayfield to fifty and two,

1:18:13.880 --> 1:18:18.240
<v Speaker 1>and two of the last three quarterbacks they faced rushing

1:18:18.360 --> 1:18:21.599
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns against Seattle. I have reason to believe Lamar Jackson

1:18:21.680 --> 1:18:26.559
<v Speaker 1>can rad Let's go to his his receiving options. Mark Andrews,

1:18:26.640 --> 1:18:29.200
<v Speaker 1>also an A grade. Andrews has seen at least seven

1:18:29.240 --> 1:18:32.240
<v Speaker 1>targets in every game. Draws a good matchup with the Seahawks,

1:18:32.240 --> 1:18:35.560
<v Speaker 1>who struggled against tight ends. Their bottom six and receptions,

1:18:35.920 --> 1:18:39.160
<v Speaker 1>bottom six in yards, bottom six in touchdowns allowed to

1:18:39.240 --> 1:18:41.679
<v Speaker 1>the position. Can we just start calling him man Drew

1:18:41.800 --> 1:18:45.320
<v Speaker 1>because he's a man monk boys out there man Drew's,

1:18:46.120 --> 1:18:49.920
<v Speaker 1>man Drews, Andrews man. I don't don't talent. I think

1:18:49.960 --> 1:18:52.919
<v Speaker 1>it's a little bit. I know you. I love my nicknames.

1:18:53.000 --> 1:18:55.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm just I'm not loving man Drew's. I'll tell you

1:18:55.720 --> 1:18:57.280
<v Speaker 1>what if any if we get to know people to

1:18:57.400 --> 1:19:01.840
<v Speaker 1>hashtag man Drew's at us, then yes, but that's might be.

1:19:02.080 --> 1:19:05.320
<v Speaker 1>That might be what it takes. Um Mark keats Brown.

1:19:05.400 --> 1:19:07.040
<v Speaker 1>We is shaping up as a game time decision with

1:19:07.080 --> 1:19:10.320
<v Speaker 1>an ankle injury. He has scored just once since the opener.

1:19:10.760 --> 1:19:14.800
<v Speaker 1>He's caught four or fewer passes in four of the

1:19:14.920 --> 1:19:18.200
<v Speaker 1>five games he's played in. And I don't love the

1:19:18.240 --> 1:19:21.920
<v Speaker 1>matchup against cornerback Shaquille Griffin, who's got really good speed.

1:19:22.000 --> 1:19:24.240
<v Speaker 1>He might be one of the fastest cornerbacks in the league.

1:19:24.920 --> 1:19:27.280
<v Speaker 1>So you know, an old Brown's whole deal of speeds.

1:19:27.360 --> 1:19:29.240
<v Speaker 1>So I don't love Brown in this. I've got a

1:19:29.280 --> 1:19:32.160
<v Speaker 1>bench grade on markis Brown, even if he does try

1:19:32.240 --> 1:19:35.200
<v Speaker 1>to play through the ankle injury. Let's go to Let's

1:19:35.200 --> 1:19:36.920
<v Speaker 1>go to the running game, where mark Ingram gets a

1:19:37.000 --> 1:19:40.519
<v Speaker 1>B grade. He may struggle with efficiency a little bit here.

1:19:40.560 --> 1:19:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Seahawks only allowing four point three yards per carry, good

1:19:43.080 --> 1:19:45.320
<v Speaker 1>for eighth best, but they are allowing the second most

1:19:45.400 --> 1:19:49.840
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns to opposing ball carriers. Todd Gurley Nick Chubb each

1:19:49.880 --> 1:19:53.120
<v Speaker 1>found the end zone twice in Seattle's last two contests.

1:19:53.120 --> 1:19:55.040
<v Speaker 1>So I still like Ingram. I've got to be great

1:19:55.040 --> 1:19:56.639
<v Speaker 1>out because I don't think he blows up here. And actually,

1:19:56.640 --> 1:20:00.400
<v Speaker 1>the biggest threat to mark Ingram is Lamar Jackson. Honestly,

1:20:00.920 --> 1:20:04.040
<v Speaker 1>if he if he did not have such a prodigious

1:20:04.200 --> 1:20:07.080
<v Speaker 1>rushing quarterback, I would have an A grade on mark Ingram.

1:20:08.400 --> 1:20:11.200
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to the Seattle side, shall we beginning with

1:20:11.280 --> 1:20:14.320
<v Speaker 1>Chris Carson. Last week, Carson rushed for a season high

1:20:14.400 --> 1:20:17.439
<v Speaker 1>one four yards on the ground to make make it

1:20:17.600 --> 1:20:20.799
<v Speaker 1>three straight one hundred yard efforts, which is an awfully

1:20:20.840 --> 1:20:23.680
<v Speaker 1>impressive turnaround from a guy that everybody expected to hit

1:20:23.760 --> 1:20:25.760
<v Speaker 1>the bench. He was one fumble away from hitting the bench.

1:20:25.760 --> 1:20:28.559
<v Speaker 1>He hasn't fumbled since then, and now he's probably earned

1:20:28.640 --> 1:20:31.280
<v Speaker 1>enough equity that even if he did fumble once, it

1:20:31.280 --> 1:20:35.080
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't automatically mean the bench for Chris Carson. He has

1:20:35.120 --> 1:20:38.479
<v Speaker 1>scored twelve times in his last thirteen games. In the

1:20:38.560 --> 1:20:41.400
<v Speaker 1>last five games, the Ravens have allowed eight touchdowns to

1:20:41.479 --> 1:20:44.679
<v Speaker 1>running backs and they've given up an uncharacteristic four point

1:20:44.800 --> 1:20:48.280
<v Speaker 1>eight yards per carry over the last five games. You'll

1:20:48.320 --> 1:20:50.519
<v Speaker 1>notice all these Ravens stats were going back five games

1:20:50.520 --> 1:20:52.320
<v Speaker 1>because they played in Miami in the first week, and

1:20:52.360 --> 1:20:55.320
<v Speaker 1>of course Miami can't do anything. So this is back

1:20:55.360 --> 1:20:59.040
<v Speaker 1>in the old days of Fantasy Football Weekly, when there

1:20:59.280 --> 1:21:04.000
<v Speaker 1>was Glendon quarterback JaMarcus Russell. We were we nickname him

1:21:04.160 --> 1:21:07.840
<v Speaker 1>JaMarcus Astric because we have to astric all of our

1:21:07.920 --> 1:21:10.640
<v Speaker 1>stats because it'd be like this team has given a

1:21:10.800 --> 1:21:15.360
<v Speaker 1>three hundred three hundred passing yards in five of six

1:21:15.520 --> 1:21:20.240
<v Speaker 1>games because they faced JaMarcus Russell. Miami is the new Astrix.

1:21:21.000 --> 1:21:23.120
<v Speaker 1>All right, Let's go to the passing give of the Seahawks.

1:21:23.200 --> 1:21:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Russell Wilson multiple touchdowns in five of six games, at

1:21:26.080 --> 1:21:28.320
<v Speaker 1>least two hundred forty passing yards in every game since

1:21:28.360 --> 1:21:32.759
<v Speaker 1>the opener. Obviously an elite fantasy quarterback regardless of matchup.

1:21:33.360 --> 1:21:36.360
<v Speaker 1>As for this one with Baltimore, they held down Ryan

1:21:36.439 --> 1:21:39.519
<v Speaker 1>Fitzpatrick and Mason Rudolph and Adye Dalton, but got smoked

1:21:39.600 --> 1:21:42.920
<v Speaker 1>by people at Wilson's level like Patrick Mahomes and Baker

1:21:43.000 --> 1:21:45.840
<v Speaker 1>Mayfield and even Kyler Murray. Those guys all put up

1:21:46.160 --> 1:21:49.200
<v Speaker 1>over three hundred forty two yards. So it's an A

1:21:49.400 --> 1:21:51.960
<v Speaker 1>grade for Russell Wilson here, And if I like Wilson,

1:21:52.040 --> 1:21:55.479
<v Speaker 1>it means I also like his receivers. Tyler Lockett gets

1:21:55.520 --> 1:21:59.800
<v Speaker 1>an A grade. The Ravens allowing the fifth most path

1:22:00.120 --> 1:22:03.320
<v Speaker 1>is excuse me, fifth most yards per game to opposing

1:22:03.360 --> 1:22:06.840
<v Speaker 1>wide receivers, and they've been particularly bad at the deep ball,

1:22:07.200 --> 1:22:10.360
<v Speaker 1>allowing the third most passes of forty yards or more.

1:22:11.200 --> 1:22:14.759
<v Speaker 1>And obviously that's lock It's game is the deep passing.

1:22:14.840 --> 1:22:21.519
<v Speaker 1>He's so fast. Scent of Russell Wilson's attempts go for

1:22:21.680 --> 1:22:26.479
<v Speaker 1>over twenty yards. And get this, he completes seventy two

1:22:27.479 --> 1:22:31.840
<v Speaker 1>of his passes of over twenty yards. How that's nuts.

1:22:32.520 --> 1:22:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Most quarterbacks are half that rate. Quarterbacks are lucky to

1:22:35.720 --> 1:22:40.760
<v Speaker 1>get that completion percentage overall. Yes, that's unbelievable. Even with

1:22:40.880 --> 1:22:43.759
<v Speaker 1>Marcus Peters now on the Ravens, and even if Jimmy

1:22:43.800 --> 1:22:46.400
<v Speaker 1>Smith returns, I don't care. Lock It A grade here

1:22:46.640 --> 1:22:48.680
<v Speaker 1>and dk Metcalf much of the same stuff I just

1:22:48.720 --> 1:22:51.240
<v Speaker 1>said about lock it in the deep ball. Dk Metcalf's

1:22:51.240 --> 1:22:53.640
<v Speaker 1>whole bit is run straight, run fast, so I like

1:22:53.840 --> 1:22:56.120
<v Speaker 1>him and this one as well. He's already seen eight

1:22:56.160 --> 1:22:58.760
<v Speaker 1>targets of twenty or more yards, including both of his

1:22:58.840 --> 1:23:02.240
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns which came outside of twenty yards. I like dk

1:23:02.400 --> 1:23:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Metcalf with a B grade in this game as well.

1:23:05.680 --> 1:23:07.479
<v Speaker 1>I would love to tell you about will dis Lee

1:23:09.080 --> 1:23:13.080
<v Speaker 1>No no point, unfortunately in this one. That is sad

1:23:13.160 --> 1:23:16.040
<v Speaker 1>our final matchup is the Monday Night game, which is

1:23:16.080 --> 1:23:19.599
<v Speaker 1>New England taking on the New York Jets. Scott Um.

1:23:19.920 --> 1:23:22.599
<v Speaker 1>Can I get two rushing touchdowns out of Tom Brady? Yes?

1:23:22.720 --> 1:23:26.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean he's He's their goal lineback right easy. Easy.

1:23:27.040 --> 1:23:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Even if you don't get the touchdowns, I still have

1:23:29.000 --> 1:23:31.439
<v Speaker 1>an A grade on Brady, who had three hundred yards

1:23:31.479 --> 1:23:34.640
<v Speaker 1>passing and two touchdowns in Week three. And Brady has

1:23:34.680 --> 1:23:37.000
<v Speaker 1>two hundred and sixty plus yards and multiple touchdowns in

1:23:37.160 --> 1:23:40.840
<v Speaker 1>every game except for the staunch Bills defense game. Brady

1:23:40.920 --> 1:23:44.439
<v Speaker 1>is also averaging thirty eight pass attempts per game. That's

1:23:44.479 --> 1:23:46.519
<v Speaker 1>gonna keep him firmly in the top twelve. For this week.

1:23:46.560 --> 1:23:51.080
<v Speaker 1>For me, his main guy Edelman, Brian Poole has only

1:23:51.320 --> 1:23:53.320
<v Speaker 1>the cornerback he's gonna face in the slot. Has only

1:23:53.360 --> 1:23:56.760
<v Speaker 1>allowed ninety yards and no touchdowns from the slot this year,

1:23:57.120 --> 1:23:59.240
<v Speaker 1>so it is a tough matchup. But I feel like

1:23:59.320 --> 1:24:02.000
<v Speaker 1>he's going to get the targets and enough volume there

1:24:02.040 --> 1:24:04.680
<v Speaker 1>to be probably a B start, maybe even better. But

1:24:04.760 --> 1:24:09.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm definitely giving him be at least. Uh Gordon Myers

1:24:09.560 --> 1:24:12.960
<v Speaker 1>Dorset all of that. Gordon didn't practice this week the

1:24:13.800 --> 1:24:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Dorsets coming back from injury, but was still limited. I'm

1:24:17.280 --> 1:24:20.160
<v Speaker 1>not messing with the rest of that. Those wide receivers. Uh,

1:24:20.240 --> 1:24:22.519
<v Speaker 1>Sody Michelle. I'm giving a C star to he's he

1:24:22.680 --> 1:24:26.760
<v Speaker 1>had seventeen touches, nineteen touches, twenty four touches over the

1:24:26.840 --> 1:24:29.360
<v Speaker 1>last three weeks. He's not getting the goal line work

1:24:29.400 --> 1:24:32.599
<v Speaker 1>because that's Tom Brady's job. Apparently it is. Well, James

1:24:32.680 --> 1:24:35.439
<v Speaker 1>Devlin dead to us. James Devlin and I are the

1:24:35.520 --> 1:24:41.400
<v Speaker 1>new fullback, is Tom Brady? Yeah? So, Uh, Rex Burke

1:24:41.439 --> 1:24:42.840
<v Speaker 1>had I don't know if he'll be back. He was

1:24:42.920 --> 1:24:45.160
<v Speaker 1>limited in practice this week as well. He might be,

1:24:45.280 --> 1:24:47.400
<v Speaker 1>but I don't we don't know what to expect from him.

1:24:47.520 --> 1:24:49.800
<v Speaker 1>He looked good when he was here earlier, but he

1:24:49.920 --> 1:24:52.679
<v Speaker 1>can't start him. Whiteham's also given him a C grade

1:24:52.720 --> 1:24:56.000
<v Speaker 1>because he's had nine targets in three three straight. The

1:24:56.080 --> 1:24:58.080
<v Speaker 1>only resulted in fifty eight per game. But all it's

1:24:58.080 --> 1:25:00.360
<v Speaker 1>going to take his one big one and and though

1:25:00.560 --> 1:25:03.519
<v Speaker 1>that turns into something, so a C grade there on

1:25:03.640 --> 1:25:06.800
<v Speaker 1>the Jet side, Sam Donald, this is not the week.

1:25:06.880 --> 1:25:08.719
<v Speaker 1>This is the one week I don't want to start.

1:25:08.800 --> 1:25:11.640
<v Speaker 1>And the Pats will only allowed one passing touchdown this

1:25:11.800 --> 1:25:15.719
<v Speaker 1>year and held every QB under one sixty five yards

1:25:15.760 --> 1:25:19.120
<v Speaker 1>passing since Week one. That's like Mitchell Trabisky level. They've

1:25:19.160 --> 1:25:22.120
<v Speaker 1>turned every quarterback into Mitchell trabisc is what they've done.

1:25:22.439 --> 1:25:25.479
<v Speaker 1>Wouldn't mitchells be the best quarterback the Patriots and face

1:25:25.520 --> 1:25:30.519
<v Speaker 1>to the season. Uh, Anderson is on the bench. I

1:25:30.560 --> 1:25:34.080
<v Speaker 1>actually rewatched the Jets Patriots Week three game this week.

1:25:34.320 --> 1:25:38.479
<v Speaker 1>Stephan Gilmore was on him for every single snap except

1:25:38.560 --> 1:25:40.400
<v Speaker 1>for one in the slot and it was a bunched

1:25:40.479 --> 1:25:43.880
<v Speaker 1>up three wide receiver. So Gilmore is gonna shadow him.

1:25:43.880 --> 1:25:46.040
<v Speaker 1>And the only three past catches he caught were like

1:25:46.160 --> 1:25:49.599
<v Speaker 1>super short quick passes. I don't trust Anderson for anything

1:25:49.680 --> 1:25:53.040
<v Speaker 1>with Gilmore all over him. Crowder was my take home

1:25:53.280 --> 1:25:56.400
<v Speaker 1>to Mary's Thomas. Sorry, it's a bad matchup with mccordy,

1:25:56.439 --> 1:25:58.719
<v Speaker 1>who's much faster than you, and no matter what past

1:25:58.760 --> 1:26:01.479
<v Speaker 1>comes to you, he's going to get around. But revenge game, Scott,

1:26:02.040 --> 1:26:04.640
<v Speaker 1>it's the quickest turnaround revenge game in history. Maybe did

1:26:04.760 --> 1:26:06.760
<v Speaker 1>we didn't we have one where a guy like was

1:26:06.840 --> 1:26:09.000
<v Speaker 1>cut in the next week? Oh yeah that sort of

1:26:09.080 --> 1:26:12.000
<v Speaker 1>rings a bell. Yeah, probably, I don't remember. Actually, Ryan

1:26:12.080 --> 1:26:16.800
<v Speaker 1>Grant is a quicker revenge game. Uh and Levyan Bell

1:26:16.880 --> 1:26:19.760
<v Speaker 1>and rewatching that game they were selling out to get

1:26:19.800 --> 1:26:22.479
<v Speaker 1>to Luke Fox. Levan Bell had his worst game of

1:26:22.520 --> 1:26:26.080
<v Speaker 1>the year, thirty or sixty three yards on on seventeen

1:26:26.120 --> 1:26:30.080
<v Speaker 1>touches or whatever. He's gonna have a lot as many touches.

1:26:30.120 --> 1:26:32.600
<v Speaker 1>Probably he's averaging twenty two a game. They're not going

1:26:32.680 --> 1:26:34.360
<v Speaker 1>to sell out to get to Donald like they did

1:26:34.479 --> 1:26:37.120
<v Speaker 1>Luke Fox. Bell will not be jamming his face into

1:26:37.160 --> 1:26:39.360
<v Speaker 1>that a man front in this game. I think he's

1:26:39.360 --> 1:26:41.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna have a better grade, but I'm only giving him

1:26:41.920 --> 1:26:44.519
<v Speaker 1>a C grade on volume. It's such a good run defense,

1:26:44.640 --> 1:26:46.919
<v Speaker 1>it sounds right. It's sad with the return of Donald,

1:26:47.000 --> 1:26:49.760
<v Speaker 1>we won't be able to give Luke Fox and a

1:26:50.680 --> 1:26:55.800
<v Speaker 1>moving forward well enunciated, anybody left in that matchup? We

1:26:55.920 --> 1:26:59.040
<v Speaker 1>covered everything, No, we covered everything. There sounds good. Um.

1:26:59.439 --> 1:27:01.320
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk about the Buffalo schedule. You're talking

1:27:01.360 --> 1:27:04.720
<v Speaker 1>about the easy jet schedule, particularly in the second half

1:27:04.720 --> 1:27:06.920
<v Speaker 1>of the season. No team has an easier schedule over

1:27:06.960 --> 1:27:11.080
<v Speaker 1>the next five weeks than Buffalo. Get this, Miami this week,

1:27:11.840 --> 1:27:16.840
<v Speaker 1>five weeks from now, five games from now, Miami. What's

1:27:16.880 --> 1:27:19.400
<v Speaker 1>the meat in the Miami sandwich for the schedule for

1:27:19.439 --> 1:27:26.080
<v Speaker 1>the Buffalo Bills, Eagles, Redskins, Browns. If you it doesn't

1:27:26.120 --> 1:27:28.320
<v Speaker 1>get any easier than this, if you would have traded

1:27:28.360 --> 1:27:32.040
<v Speaker 1>the Browns for maybe the Falcons or something maybe, like right,

1:27:32.080 --> 1:27:33.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's about it. Yeah, that's right. And the

1:27:33.880 --> 1:27:36.439
<v Speaker 1>Browns have been a competent defense, but that's it, just competent.

1:27:36.760 --> 1:27:41.400
<v Speaker 1>So given that Josh Allen over those five games, will

1:27:41.520 --> 1:27:45.360
<v Speaker 1>he be a top five fantasy quarterback? I thought I

1:27:45.400 --> 1:27:47.439
<v Speaker 1>thought you're gonna say, will he be a QB one

1:27:47.560 --> 1:27:49.200
<v Speaker 1>like he was last year for like a four or

1:27:49.240 --> 1:27:51.760
<v Speaker 1>five game stretch? Well, QB one is, like, you know,

1:27:51.920 --> 1:27:54.559
<v Speaker 1>that's the top twelve. I think, Well, no, I'm talking

1:27:55.439 --> 1:27:57.439
<v Speaker 1>number one. I think you can make an argument that

1:27:57.520 --> 1:27:59.759
<v Speaker 1>over the next five weeks maybe he is the overall

1:28:00.000 --> 1:28:02.160
<v Speaker 1>to be one. For the next five weeks, he might

1:28:02.200 --> 1:28:07.360
<v Speaker 1>be for the last five weeks last season, right production exactly,

1:28:07.400 --> 1:28:09.840
<v Speaker 1>he gets now when he placed Miami last year, the

1:28:09.920 --> 1:28:15.519
<v Speaker 1>two games he ran, that's unbelievable. If he could please

1:28:15.600 --> 1:28:18.320
<v Speaker 1>run for another two thirty Josh Allen and then Devin

1:28:18.400 --> 1:28:22.920
<v Speaker 1>Singletary as well, it's gonna He's gonna cash in Tingley,

1:28:23.000 --> 1:28:26.200
<v Speaker 1>aren't you. I'm excited. You are excited. Um. If you're
